hvd.32044080907249	Now, then, will you hand over those letters, or will you go to- inside of ten minutes?
hvd.32044080907249	RICHARD GOR- DON, Superintendent K.& A. R. R. ” “ What will that do?
hvd.32044080907249	The moment I looked up, she called, — “ Wo n't you make one of us, Mr. Misan- thrope?"
hvd.32044080907249	Then what is your motive? ” cried Baldwin.
hvd.32044080907249	Would it do our side any harm? ” I thought for a moment, and then shook my head.
hvd.32044080907249	You will, wo n't you? ” she begged, very earnestly.
hvd.32044080907249	what is it?
hvd.32044080907249	« Have you breakfasted? ” asked Mr. Cullen, when the first joy was over.
hvd.32044080907249	« That was just after I had got off? ” I asked.
hvd.32044080907249	« What is it?
hvd.32044080907249	« Yer mean that cattle- drive? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080907249	“ And if you catch them they'll be hung? ” she asked.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Are you sure you saw a flag, Miss Cullen?"
hvd.32044080907249	“ Aw, in what respect? ” asked Albert Cullen's voice, and, looking up, I found that he and quite a number of the passengers had joined us.
hvd.32044080907249	“ But how can you do it?
hvd.32044080907249	“ But how the deuce did he know that you had those letters?"
hvd.32044080907249	“ But why should you object to that? ” “ Because of the letters, ” explained Madge.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Do n't Western women ever get Eastern gowns? ” she asked.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Do you intend a high- handed interfer- ence with the civil authorities? ” Judge Wil- son demanded.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Do you really expect to catch them? ” she asked.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Do you really?
hvd.32044080907249	“ Do you want to go?
hvd.32044080907249	“ For what? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Have you caught the robbers?
hvd.32044080907249	“ He's hidden away under this ere platform. ” “ Not right here? ” I heard Madge cry, but I had too much to do to take in what followed.
hvd.32044080907249	“ How much is it, Wel- ply? ” I asked, shoving the blanks in to the operator.
hvd.32044080907249	“ How? ” “ That's just what gits away with me, ” marvelled the sheriff.
hvd.32044080907249	“ I do n't care about myself, Mr. Gordon, but ca n't you keep her out of it?
hvd.32044080907249	“ I hope there's nothing wrong? ” Madge questioned, anxiously.
hvd.32044080907249	“ I only — what place are we stopping at?"
hvd.32044080907249	“ Instantly, ” I said, rising, and added, “ Do n't you want to see what I say, Miss Cullen?"
hvd.32044080907249	“ Is anything the matter? ” asked Miss Cullen.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Is she a mulatto?
hvd.32044080907249	“ Is there any place about here that's a safe hiding spot for a few hours? ” I asked.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Look a here, ” growled the sheriff, “ who are yer sayin'all this to anyway?
hvd.32044080907249	“ Supposing, ” she continued, “ that it be- came known that you have those letters?
hvd.32044080907249	“ That's the number the crew think there were; but I myself do n't believe it. ” “ Why do n't you believe the men? ” asked Miss Cullen.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Then I will ask you to deliver them to me. ” “ I ca n't do that. ” « Why not? ” he challenged.
hvd.32044080907249	“ Then perhaps you would like to be left to enjoy the moonlight and your meditations by yourself? ” I questioned.
hvd.32044080907249	“ They are con- victs?
hvd.32044080907249	“ What do you mean? ” she asked.
hvd.32044080907249	“ What kind of a place? ” asked Mr. Cullen, laughing.
hvd.32044080907249	“ What use will those letters be after the eighteenth?
hvd.32044080907249	“ What was that?
hvd.32044080907249	“ Why, ” he ejaculated, “ my brother and I each have a double express with us, and do you think we'd sit still in our seats?
hvd.32044080907249	“ Wo n't it be safer to run while there is still time? ” suggested Albert, anxiously.
hvd.32044080907249	“ You are sure you can be spared? ” “ I could n't be of the slightest use, ” as- serted Ralles, getting on to the platform and joining Madge.
hvd.32044080907249	“ You mean to say you are doing it for nothing? ” exclaimed Camp, incredulously.
hvd.32044080907249	“ You ’ll telegraph at once?
hvd.32044080907249	” “ Hanging. ” “ What? ” cried Miss Cullen.
hvd.32044020310983	- “ So that ’s what you little nations are after? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020310983	-- “ Why not, General?
hvd.32044020310983	31 to turn it into universal happiness? ” asked Leon Jacobs.
hvd.32044020310983	37 Sir Bruce?
hvd.32044020310983	And if so, have they been known to touch a human being?
hvd.32044020310983	As an intellectual force he was a bully, and WHAT HAS DONE IT?
hvd.32044020310983	But how to let them know?
hvd.32044020310983	But shall all men who err pay the price of death for it?
hvd.32044020310983	But was he sane?
hvd.32044020310983	But what are their energies?
hvd.32044020310983	But what did we hear?
hvd.32044020310983	Can you point to a possible starting place for these things? ” “ Emphatically no, ” answered our guest.
hvd.32044020310983	Did Reason, whose high- priestess Science is, plunge Germany into her appalling adventure?
hvd.32044020310983	Did Science make the war?
hvd.32044020310983	Did those lift us above the brutes? ” “ My dear Bruce, what a question!
hvd.32044020310983	Do you and I mean the same thing when we speak of ‘ materialism ’?
hvd.32044020310983	Do you not see that, if persisted in, these manifestations will not only reorganize thought, but also command con- duct?
hvd.32044020310983	Do you, therefore, suspect any school of workers, or any nation known to be busy with radio- activity?
hvd.32044020310983	Emphat- ically they did; and who knows that better than you?
hvd.32044020310983	For what do we learn?
hvd.32044020310983	For what re- sults accrue to the world at large?
hvd.32044020310983	Great chemists, but not great men. ” 106 NUMBER 87 “ Why do you say that? ” asked Paul Stross- mayer.
hvd.32044020310983	Had some wandering vehicle of huge radio- activity penetrated our atmosphere and struck by chance, or was the incident the work of intelligent beings?
hvd.32044020310983	He ’s difficult to please sometimes, but who ai n’t?
hvd.32044020310983	How do we know what is happening in the labora- tories of Europe, or America?
hvd.32044020310983	How many never are?
hvd.32044020310983	How many noses had ever come in contact with the smell of petrol till the advent of the motor car?
hvd.32044020310983	How to offer the hand of friendship? ” The question offended some who heard it.
hvd.32044020310983	How was the oppor- tunity lost?
hvd.32044020310983	How, you ask?
hvd.32044020310983	If we all in this room set down on paper our understanding of that word ’s significance, would our definitions agree?
hvd.32044020310983	Is it not Montaigne who says that one laughs, not at man ’s folly, but his wisdom?
hvd.32044020310983	Is there anything else that occurs to you? ” I considered.
hvd.32044020310983	No doubt, when the dark came down, Sir Bruce lit up. ” “ You have n’t seen him? ” “ No, he ai n’t been about.
hvd.32044020310983	One has heard, of course, of vampire bats, but do such things exist in reality?
hvd.32044020310983	Shall we say “ self- centered ’?
hvd.32044020310983	So why not give weary Art a rest until wide- awake Science has had her say?
hvd.32044020310983	Suppose a chemist came to such a man and suggested that he might be upon the track of something more powerful than basic industries?
hvd.32044020310983	That must be confessed; but what am I doing?
hvd.32044020310983	The deep- WHAT HAS DONE IT?
hvd.32044020310983	The fun- damental question: ‘ What is wages? ” had not been answered.
hvd.32044020310983	The materials are hardly strong enough to compose and sustain anything larger. ” “ And what of air animals? ” I asked.
hvd.32044020310983	The world has made of Science a slave to war, has it not?
hvd.32044020310983	To the slow, patient research which is helping the sum of human knowledge and potential pros- perity?
hvd.32044020310983	To the work by which he attained fame?
hvd.32044020310983	To whom could the dominion of the ocean be entrusted but ourselves?

hvd.32044020310983	What do you think???
hvd.32044020310983	What do you think???
hvd.32044020310983	What do you think???

hvd.32044020310983	What is the sum total of his message?
hvd.32044020310983	What known weapon could inflict such a wound?

hvd.32044020310983	Would you like me to speak? ” The ingenuous question attracted us.
hvd.32044020310983	Yes, the men are here, and the adequate rewards and inducements are in Jugo- Slavia. ” “ You would buy our devotion for your State? ” I asked.
hvd.32044020310983	Yet upon what other conceivable basis can any intelligible clue be found?
hvd.32044020310983	You must not exploit us, Paul. ” “ Why use the word? ” asked Strossmayer.
hvd.32044020310983	You will receive handsome emolument and generous consideration, 24 NUMBER 87 to what?
hvd.32044020310983	You, your- self, are as honest as the light; but your people are — what?
hvd.32044020310983	“ And what does this veiled attack on our sys- tem amount to? ” inquired Sir Bruce.
hvd.32044020310983	“ And what follows?
hvd.32044020310983	“ And, after all, what do his lectures and books amount to?
hvd.32044020310983	“ Are you nearly ready? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020310983	“ Do you not understand that only through cleansing torrents and cathartic hurricanes of art the world WHAT HAS DONE IT?
hvd.32044020310983	“ Granted the possession of intellect, ” he said, “ then, surely, a via media might be attained?
hvd.32044020310983	“ Had you anything to do with the phenomenal NUMBER 87 239 crop of wheat you showed me on one of your farms last August, Sir Bruce? ” He nodded.
hvd.32044020310983	“ Have you ever seen a sheep- dog trial, Gran- 126 NUMBER 87 ger?
hvd.32044020310983	“ How do you account for the smell then? ” asked Bishop Blore.
hvd.32044020310983	“ How should you answer the supposition that there are two energies at work? ” “ I have proved that there is but one, ” answered jºyer.
hvd.32044020310983	“ How to dis- cover and secure the unknown?
hvd.32044020310983	“ Is there another topic remotely akin to this in gravity, or full of more tremendous significance?
hvd.32044020310983	“ My dear fellow, can there be a shadow of doubt as to the reply?
hvd.32044020310983	“ Shall the Almighty suffer His planet to be at the mercy of a creature?

hvd.32044020310983	“ Then what of ‘ the Bat ’? ” inquired Bishop Blore.

hvd.32044020310983	“ We found the chemists to win the war, and shall we not find the chemists to win the peace? ” asked Jack Smith.
hvd.32044020310983	“ What about ‘ the Bat, ” Ian?
hvd.32044020310983	“ What do you feel, Granger?
hvd.32044020310983	“ What fol- lows?
hvd.32044020310983	“ What nonsense is this, my dear fellow? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020310983	“ Where were the minds; where the pure pur- poses; where the philosophic spirits to be en- trusted with my discovery?
hvd.hl55h3	Any objection to my puttin'in this here dia- gram? ” he inquired. hvd.hl55h3 Anybody seen Skinny Hawkins? ” he cried excitedly.
hvd.hl55h3	Anything else?
hvd.hl55h3	Been well, I trust?
hvd.hl55h3	Brave feller, ai n't ye? ” said the Squire with scorn. hvd.hl55h3 Did n't I prove by him that the murder took place at four o'clock, when everybody knows that Skinny was in Pottsville at that hour? ”.
hvd.hl55h3	Did you notice the time? ” The sheriff hesitated. hvd.hl55h3 Did you owe it to him?"
hvd.hl55h3	Do I have to answer? ”It's perfectly relevant,"returned his honor.
hvd.hl55h3	Do n't you know anything about an automo- bile? ” snapped the Squire. hvd.hl55h3 Do you know the name of the man for whom he went to work? ”.
hvd.hl55h3	Do you object to the word'murdered,'Mr. Tutt? ” inquired the court. hvd.hl55h3 Feels good, do n't it?"
hvd.hl55h3	How did you manage to repair the automobile?
hvd.hl55h3	How do you reconcile the withholding of this very vital evidence from the jury? ” he inquired in icy tones. hvd.hl55h3 How far are we from Orient Mills? ” asked the Squire.
hvd.hl55h3	How far is it?
hvd.hl55h3	How?
hvd.hl55h3	I show you asc The Hermit of Turkey Hollow 179 mea People's Exhibits numbered Seventeen to Twenty- one, inclusive, and ask if you can identify them?
hvd.hl55h3	I want to take a little trip up to Orient Mills this evening — can you run me up there? hvd.hl55h3 Look here, Skinnyl ” remarked the lawyer gruffly, “ what's the use of my turning over a hundred dollars to you to throw away?
hvd.hl55h3	Parents living?
hvd.hl55h3	Please tell us when you last saw them? ”The mornin'of the murder,"answered"Tog- gery Bill. ” “ May seventeenth, nineteen hundred and twenty!"
hvd.hl55h3	Well, what else have I got to spend my money on?
hvd.hl55h3	Well,-didn't you look at him?
hvd.hl55h3	What else did you observe? ”I stepped over to where he was lyin'an'lifted up his head so's to look in his face.
hvd.hl55h3	What is it?
hvd.hl55h3	What was that? ”Cloves- nine cloves"O, “ Go on!"
hvd.hl55h3	What's the use conjecturin'about things like that? ” he asked more genially. hvd.hl55h3 When is the next train?"
hvd.hl55h3	Where can I hire an automobile?
hvd.hl55h3	Where did you see them? ”In my store.
hvd.hl55h3	Where is he?
hvd.hl55h3	Where?
hvd.hl55h3	Who asks money,demanded Mr. Tutt, strik- ing an heroic attitude,"when innocence calls for succor?
hvd.hl55h3	Why do you say that?
hvd.hl55h3	Your time is your own, is n't it?
hvd.hl55h3	:"It's kinder important, ai n't it?"
hvd.hl55h3	An'would n't go back?".
hvd.hl55h3	Anyhow, some- one had done them, so what difference did it make?
hvd.hl55h3	Did he appreciate the situation?
hvd.hl55h3	Did n't they find his pockets full of gold pieces of the same date as the one in the dead hermit's hand?
hvd.hl55h3	Did n't they recog- nize his pipe that he had left on the shanty table?
hvd.hl55h3	Eh, what?
hvd.hl55h3	Ever since he was a young feller?
hvd.hl55h3	Had it grown chilly?
hvd.hl55h3	I ca n't stop it,'cause I ai nt got no idee where it is. ”"Ca n't you feel for it? ” hazarded the squire plaintively.
hvd.hl55h3	I seen it myself when I went into the shanty that afternoon. ”"Then why do you think it would do me any good to find Emerson?"
hvd.hl55h3	IV"Is not the winding up of witnesses, And nicking, more than half the business?
hvd.hl55h3	If this were so he was doing it for a reason and what reason could there be?
hvd.hl55h3	If, he threatened, after he, Tutt, should 162 The Hermit of Turkey Hollow run away as soon as the news of the murder reached the town?
hvd.hl55h3	No one would in fact need to know?
hvd.hl55h3	Nobody had seen him at the her- mit's shanty, so why admit that he had been there?
hvd.hl55h3	Now what would you like for your supper?-Griddle cakes?
hvd.hl55h3	Now why had the wily and unscrupulous prosecutor sought to leave the hour of the crime in doubt?
hvd.hl55h3	Should he put Hawkins upon the stand?
hvd.hl55h3	Suppose you meet me in fifteen min- utes over behind the railroad station? ”"Anywhere you choose, ” agreed Mr. Tutt.
hvd.hl55h3	The Hermit of Turkey Hollow 109"Is there a train to- night? ”"It leaves at four o'clock — when it's on time.
hvd.hl55h3	The Hermit of Turkey Hollow 47 “ What's th'matter?"
hvd.hl55h3	The Hermit of Turkey Hollow The Hermit of Turkey Hollow 3 like?"
hvd.hl55h3	The Hermit of Turkey Hollow “ Do you know where the witness Charles Emer- son lives?"
hvd.hl55h3	The hermit did n't breathe no more, the moth flew out the door,-an'""Well? ” whispered Mr. Tutt"An'the clock stopped!"
hvd.hl55h3	Then a deep voice-whether masculine or feminine none of them could determine- said: “ You mean the feller that come here from Pottsville?
hvd.hl55h3	They had 46 The Hermit of Turkey Hollow “ What for?"
hvd.hl55h3	They'd all known Skinny the Tramp quite some time, had n't they?
hvd.hl55h3	Was Mason concealing the time, or was he luring his adversary into a trap?
hvd.hl55h3	Was he cognizant of his peril?
hvd.hl55h3	Was it humanly possible that Squire Mason had not noticed the hands of the clock at all?
hvd.hl55h3	Was it not the duty of the public prosecutor to conserve the rights of every accused?
hvd.hl55h3	Was it possible?
hvd.hl55h3	Was n't he?
hvd.hl55h3	Well,-if they did n't understand what he was drivin'at- did Skinny ever say any- thin'in their hearin'about rainbows?
hvd.hl55h3	What do you want of me?"
hvd.hl55h3	What imp of Hades had whispered to him that there was something in those photographs which Mason desired to conceal?
hvd.hl55h3	What of the dramatis persona of the contest?
hvd.hl55h3	What was coming next?
hvd.hl55h3	What, may I ask, are her- mits for- but to be murdered? ”"You're incorrigible!"
hvd.hl55h3	Which was it?
hvd.hl55h3	Who made it?"
hvd.hl55h3	Who, he asked, had worn those fatal boots?
hvd.hl55h3	Whose guilty feet had left those telltale prints?
hvd.hl55h3	Why did 182 The Hermit of Turkey Hollow you give the defendant a hundred dollars on the morning of the murder? ” “'Cause he asked for it?"
hvd.hl55h3	Why did 182 The Hermit of Turkey Hollow you give the defendant a hundred dollars on the morning of the murder? ” “'Cause he asked for it?"
hvd.hl55h3	Why do n't you let me keep it an'invest it for you?
hvd.hl55h3	Why had he asked that fatal question?
hvd.hl55h3	Why had he done so?
hvd.hl55h3	Without taking his seat he answered:"No, I did n't mention it. ” 82 The Hermit of Turkey Hollow"Do you know? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hl55h3	You The Hermit of Turkey Hollow 51 do n't seriously consider bothering with any legal junk like that?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ A country murder trial?--Why, it'll be a regular vacation for me!"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Ai n't it a fact you was so skeart when you went to the shanty you ran out and was sick?
hvd.hl55h3	“ And one hundred dollars in bills. ” “ Is that all?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ But what of my opponents?
hvd.hl55h3	“ Did you search the body? ” A.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Did you see any footprints in the garden patch?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Do you know his reputation for honesty, peace and quiet? ”"Look here!"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Do you want to earn twenty dollars? ”"I reckon I do — how? ”'Mr. Tutt stepped as near the colt as seemed consistent with safety.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Do you want to earn twenty dollars? ”"I reckon I do — how? ”'Mr. Tutt stepped as near the colt as seemed consistent with safety.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Does he come from around here? ” A.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Due on what?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Ever know him to do an unkind act?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Known my client for some time, have you, sheriff?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Live far from here? ” “'Bout half a mile."
hvd.hl55h3	“ May I go, your honor?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Rather a gristly scene, was n't it?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Suppose I pay you fifty dollars for your time?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ Thought y'd leave us, did ye? ” taunted the Squire.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Was there a clock in the shanty? ” A.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Well, ” said the Squire pleasantly, “ what shall we do now?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ What are we goin'to do? ”"How do I know! ” retorted Higgins.
hvd.hl55h3	“ What are you ravin'about?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ What business is it?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ What car are you proposin'to use?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ What time was it?".
hvd.hl55h3	“ What you goin'to do?"
hvd.hl55h3	“ What's that for? ” he queried.
hvd.hl55h3	“ Where you goin'?"

hvd.32044086905601	Ah would you?
hvd.32044086905601	And I dropped it down in the corner of the conservatory. ” “ Dropped what? ” David asked, sharply.
hvd.32044086905601	And I'm going abroad presently. ” “ Oh, you're going abroad, are you? ” Merritt said, slowly.
hvd.32044086905601	And why have you been playing such strange tricks upon my friend David Steel?
hvd.32044086905601	And you? ” “ I had a night thrilling enough for yellow covers, as Artemus Ward says.
hvd.32044086905601	And you? ” “ London, ” Henson replied.
hvd.32044086905601	Are you still incredulous as to the house where you had your remarkable adventure?''
hvd.32044086905601	Between ourselves he is no more a reverend than you are. ” “ And if the gentleman is shy or refuses to see us?"
hvd.32044086905601	But I am like the man who journeyed from Jericho to Jerusalem — ” “ And fell amongst thieves| You dare to call me a thief?
hvd.32044086905601	But how had somebody or other managed to remove the picture?
hvd.32044086905601	But what has become of that?
hvd.32044086905601	But why not telephone to the hospital and ask how the poor fellow is?''
hvd.32044086905601	But you are not going off already? ” “ Indeed, we must.
hvd.32044086905601	By the way, where was the cigar- case?
hvd.32044086905601	Could audacity go farther?
hvd.32044086905601	Did he ever copy anything for you? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086905601	Do you come here to blackmail a rob me like the rest?"
hvd.32044086905601	Do you come here to blackmail and rob me like the rest?"
hvd.32044086905601	Do you ever make bad mistakes, Lord Littimer? ” “ Sometimes, ” Littimer said, with a touch of cynical humour.
hvd.32044086905601	Do you know the man, Miss ee?"
hvd.32044086905601	Do you know, Dr. Bell, I have lost my sense of smell? ” Steel wriggled impatiently about on his chair.
hvd.32044086905601	Do you know, I fancy that you and I are going to manage very well together? ” “ Oh, do you?
hvd.32044086905601	Do you know, I fancy that you and I are going to manage very well together? ” “ Oh, do you?
hvd.32044086905601	Do you recollect the ‘ Slumber Song,'Hatherly Bell?
hvd.32044086905601	Do you suppose Miss Lee noticed any- thing when she called to- day? ” “ Not a bit of it, ” said Merritt, confidently.
hvd.32044086905601	Do you? ” The question came keen as steel.
hvd.32044086905601	Does n't the scent of flowers bring back vivid recollections of things sometimes for years forgotten?
hvd.32044086905601	Dr. Bell says*> “ What Dr. Bell? ” Henson demanded, swiftly.
hvd.32044086905601	Dr. Bell — ” “ What's that P Will you tell me where you are speaking from? ” “ I am at present located at Littimer Castle.
hvd.32044086905601	Fancy the reward of finding Reginald Henson out! ” “ Reginald Henson is the blight upon your house, In what way? ” “ Ah, I can not tell you.

hvd.32044086905601	Had he been tricked and fooled so that he might become the tool of others?

hvd.32044086905601	Have you Green- wich time about you? ” Steel responded that he had.
hvd.32044086905601	He wondered — what was that?
hvd.32044086905601	How long was that before you bought the cigar- case? ” “ I should say it might have been a week.
hvd.32044086905601	I could bring several. ” “ Credible witnesses P. Witnesses whose characters would bear investigation? ” “ I fancy so, ” Bell said, quietly.
hvd.32044086905601	I could n't have had your picture two nights ago, could I?
hvd.32044086905601	I make others do that, eh, eh?

hvd.32044086905601	Is not that a correct English expression? ” David murmured that it was.
hvd.32044086905601	It was a happy night; the very last happy night in the world to me. ” 211?----??
hvd.32044086905601	It was a happy night; the very last happy night in the world to me. ” 211?----??
hvd.32044086905601	Lord Littimer, you are not going to send Frank away? ” Littimer looked undecided.
hvd.32044086905601	My dear fellow, how are you? ” The voice was low and pleasant, there was no trace of insanity about the speaker.
hvd.32044086905601	Now will you please write what I suggest?
hvd.32044086905601	Perhaps you may like to purchase the case? ” The purchase was made in due course, and together Chris and her queer companion left the shop.
hvd.32044086905601	Please go to your room at once. ” “ And if I refuse your ridiculous request? ” “ You will not find my request in the least ridiculous.
hvd.32044086905601	So your mother is asleep 2 Have you told her what is likely to happen to you before many hours have elapsed? ” Steel made no reply for a moment.
hvd.32044086905601	Some day, when I have time, I shall take up his case once more. ” “ Did he operate, or try some new throat cure? ” “ Exactly.
hvd.32044086905601	Tell me, do you see a way? ” The question came eagerly, almost imploringly, from the darkness.
hvd.32044086905601	We are going to make the acquaintance of John Smith Rawlins. ” “ Oh, indeed, and when do we start, may I ask?"
hvd.32044086905601	We have only to discover where the diamonds have been ‘ planted'— is that the correct expression? — I can swear CHRIS HAS AN IDEA.
hvd.32044086905601	Well? ” A servant stood waiting in the doorway with wonder- ing eyes at the sight of a stranger.
hvd.32044086905601	Well? ” A servant stood waiting in the doorway with wonder- ing eyes at the sight of a stranger.
hvd.32044086905601	What about the cigar- case? ” “ Well, Mr. Steel took it home with him.
hvd.32044086905601	What about those dogs, Bell? ” “ Dogs or no dogs, I am not going back now, ” Bell muttered.
hvd.32044086905601	What was that?
hvd.32044086905601	What will she say? ” “ Say 2 That you are the dearest and sweetest girl in the world, and that I am a lucky fellow.
hvd.32044086905601	When I came back the house was perfectly quiet. ” “ What family have you, sir?
hvd.32044086905601	Where did you put the end? ” Van Sneck rose and went into the conservatory.
hvd.32044086905601	Who are you? ” David gave up the matter as hopeless.
hvd.32044086905601	Who are you? ” “ My name is Steel.
hvd.32044086905601	Who could it be P What stranger had passed the dogs in that way?
hvd.32044086905601	Whom did I speak to?
hvd.32044086905601	Whose voice was it that was so very much like hers? ” “ The lady's sister.
hvd.32044086905601	Why?
hvd.32044086905601	Why?
hvd.32044086905601	Why? ” “ We will come to that presently.
hvd.32044086905601	Will you come this way, please? ” Walker followed into the drawing- room.
hvd.32044086905601	You found the parcel addressed to you?
hvd.32044086905601	You take the blame upon yourself — it was at your instigation that Merritt pawned the star. ” “ But, really, Mr. Steel p?
hvd.32044086905601	You'll let me know how the operation goes on? ” Steel promised to do so, and the two returned to Downend Terrace together.

hvd.32044086905601	“ A stranger? ” “ Not precisely, ” Ruth replied.
hvd.32044086905601	“ And my other patient, Williams? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ And where are ou? ” you Henson, ” came the totally unexpected reply.
hvd.32044086905601	“ And you kept the cigar- case? ” “ Yes, I rather liked it.
hvd.32044086905601	“ But about the furniture?
hvd.32044086905601	“ But what will you think of me? ” Ruth whispered.
hvd.32044086905601	“ But why do you take up Frank's cause in this way?
hvd.32044086905601	“ But why that confound Why do they ring that bell? ” Walker asked, irritably.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Daughter of the famous Gilead Gates? ” David asked, feebly.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Do I undertsand that you decline to account for the case? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Do you mean to say he is in dire need of some large sum? ” “ That's it, ” Rawlins replied.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Do you recognise it 2[ Have you seen it before? ” A pitiful, wailing cry came from Mrs. Henson's lips.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Do you think he is — dead, Williams? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Good heavens, Ruth, is it really you? ” Enid cried.
hvd.32044086905601	“ I hope you are none the worse for your adventure? ” Chris asked, politely.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Is that you, Mr. Steel?
hvd.32044086905601	“ Is that you, Mr. Steel?
hvd.32044086905601	“ Madam has had a refreshing rest? ” Henson sug- gested.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Me go back on you? ” he cried, hoarsely.
hvd.32044086905601	“ See, stranger? ” Reginald Henson fairly gasped.
hvd.32044086905601	“ So you have discovered something about that? ” she whispered.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Something very serious, sir? ” Inspector Marley asked, quietly.
hvd.32044086905601	“ There is some- thing else. ” “ And what may that be, my dear young lady? ” “ To tell your story to Lord Littimer before you sleep.
hvd.32044086905601	“ This gentleman is Mr. Steel? ” Van Sneck suggested.
hvd.32044086905601	“ This is the picture that was stolen from you? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Walen is quite sure? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Was I?
hvd.32044086905601	“ Well, ” Littimer cried, “ and how have you been getting on? ” Miss Christabel Lee looked up, smilingly.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Well? ” the sweet voice in the darkness said, im- patiently.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Well? ” “ Believe me, I will give you all the assistance possible.
hvd.32044086905601	“ What fiend's plaything are you meddling with?
hvd.32044086905601	“ What sort of a cigar- case?"
hvd.32044086905601	“ What will Longdean village say? ” “ What does Longdean village know 2 ” Chris retorted.
hvd.32044086905601	“ When 2 Oh, it was after you left my house last night. ” “ And it has been some time in your possession, sir? ” “ Oh, confound it, no.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Who are you? ” Chris shouted.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Who in the name of Heaven are you? ” “ That in good time.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Why not come in through the front door, Mr. I.ittimer? ” Christabel drawled, coolly.
hvd.32044086905601	“ Will you say that Mr. Steel would like to see — er — Miss Ruth for a few minutes?
hvd.32044086905601	“ Williams, ” he whispered; “ Williams, where are ou?''
hvd.32044086905601	“ You do n't think that this is very bold of me? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ You do n't want to go to the latter just yet P Jump in, then I? ” y CHA PTE R XXV, LITTIMER CASTLE.
hvd.32044086905601	“ You have not suffered from the shock, mother? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086905601	“ You imagine Mr. Henson to be a friend of yours?"
hvd.32044086905601	“ You wanted to see me, sir?
coo.31924022055077	205 “ What's that got to do with it?
coo.31924022055077	After the first greetings, the conversation turned on the robbery, “ Have you any thing for publication? ” inquired the visitor.
coo.31924022055077	Am I right so far?"
coo.31924022055077	And all for what?
coo.31924022055077	And what horrid big ears you've got I- Do you love me?"
coo.31924022055077	And what other reason could he have than a desire to protect himself against some mischief which the bond might be used to inflict upon him?
coo.31924022055077	And yet, again, if he were not in league with out- laws, how was the undoubted fact of his associa- tion with them to be explained?
coo.31924022055077	Are my clothes there? ” “ There are some clothes hanging to a peg; and there's a valise."
coo.31924022055077	Are n't you feeling well?
coo.31924022055077	Are n't you going to sit down?
coo.31924022055077	Are n't you going to tell me where you mean to carry me to?"
coo.31924022055077	Awful scandalous thing, was n't it?"
coo.31924022055077	By the way, have you an approximate idea of what your losses are?"
coo.31924022055077	Come to stay?
coo.31924022055077	Could any inno- cent motive have impelled him to keep a rendez- vous with such men in one of the lowest slums of the city?
coo.31924022055077	Could he suggest nothing else?
coo.31924022055077	Did no specter of crime flit through the cham- bers of that great police hive round the corner?
coo.31924022055077	Did you fetch them bills o'yours along with you?"
coo.31924022055077	Do you belong here?"
coo.31924022055077	Eh?
coo.31924022055077	Eh?
coo.31924022055077	Eh? ” “ By all means! ” said I.
coo.31924022055077	Ever see the Rogues'Gallery?"
coo.31924022055077	Fifthly, why should Mr. Smith have given double its value for the bond, had he wanted it for its normal purpose?
coo.31924022055077	For that matter, however, why should he have had any thing to do with the affair at all?
coo.31924022055077	Had he escaped?
coo.31924022055077	Has any depositor or acquaintance shown any curiosity about the structure of the vault or the routine of business?
coo.31924022055077	Has the vault itself ever been tampered with? ” The latter question elicited an important and unexpected fact.
coo.31924022055077	Have none of you noticed any thing strange in the conduct of any clerk or employé during the last few months?
coo.31924022055077	Have you something new, inspector?"
coo.31924022055077	How could the man gaze so intently into her eyes, which offered themselves to him, and not see the purpose lurking there?
coo.31924022055077	How does that find you? ” I said that the bird- and- bottle proposition pleased me; but I was not so sure about the play.
coo.31924022055077	I guess we'd better draw the line right here, and call it square, eh?"
coo.31924022055077	I was only going by what my friend said. ” “ He believes in the police, then?"
coo.31924022055077	I've cost you pretty dear, altogether, have n't I, Jack?"
coo.31924022055077	In most cases they must understand each other from the start? ” “ Oh, no doubt: and perhaps that's the wisest plan, after all.
coo.31924022055077	In short, the situation is not one to call out your most engaging expression- eh?"
coo.31924022055077	Must I quote Lovelace to you u?
coo.31924022055077	Next to the journalists I should place “ The novelists? ” said I.
coo.31924022055077	Now, for instance, I do n't know whether it has occurred to you that this crime may not have been in all respects a professional job?"
coo.31924022055077	Shall I send for a glass of water?"
coo.31924022055077	So she has'em; and the bills come in, and what does poor Jones do?
coo.31924022055077	So there they were, and what was to be done?
coo.31924022055077	So you must go to society to get the benefit of the marriage relation, must you?
coo.31924022055077	That's all I know. ” “ How did any body get into the bank to drill it?"
coo.31924022055077	The bar- tender took him aside, and asked him whether he knew how to use his hands?
coo.31924022055077	The bonds and securities is my business; once they gets worked off, we're all solid. ” “ Have you got them here?"
coo.31924022055077	The question was, had the bond in question been honestly come by?
coo.31924022055077	Then he came back and “ Do you get out here?"
coo.31924022055077	This lady_"“ What is the lady's name?
coo.31924022055077	To pay seven thousand dollars was out of the question; but could n't diamonds be got cheaper?
coo.31924022055077	Was it an elopement, a divorce suit, or what?
coo.31924022055077	Was it certain that she was protected at all points?
coo.31924022055077	Was she paralyzed with fright?
coo.31924022055077	Was the sleep of the directors of the Manhattan Savings Institution visited by uneasy dreams that inorning?
coo.31924022055077	What did it mean, and what was to be done about it?
coo.31924022055077	What is the mode, compared with the meaning?
coo.31924022055077	What is the name of it?"
coo.31924022055077	What robbery was that you were speak- ing of?"
coo.31924022055077	What was the use of a railway accident, and of his falling into Mr. Smith's section, if he were not to find the bond after all?
coo.31924022055077	What was there in common between her, and this creature of earth and ignorance?
coo.31924022055077	When a woman gets frozen over like that, nothing cooler than the devil's furnace will thaw her out. ”"But what ails her?"
coo.31924022055077	When should she begin?
coo.31924022055077	Where and how was security to be found?
coo.31924022055077	Where did you pick up that dodge, young feller?
coo.31924022055077	Where else could you get the five hundred, except from me?"
coo.31924022055077	Where was I?
coo.31924022055077	Who can tell whether the man with whom we daily associate may not have a mur- der or a robbery on his soul?
coo.31924022055077	Why did n't you tell me before?
coo.31924022055077	Why did she not get out of the way?
coo.31924022055077	Why, do n't you think so? ” Well, you see, it is n't what I think — I mean, that's of no consequence, and I dare say you're right.
coo.31924022055077	Will you be good?"
coo.31924022055077	You have n't met her before, eh?
coo.31924022055077	You were thinking about me, were you?
coo.31924022055077	You're none the worse, I hope?"
coo.31924022055077	am I boring you?"
coo.31924022055077	any thing new happened?"
coo.31924022055077	are you keepin'any thin'back? ” “ No, indeed, Jack, that's every bit I'm in debt."
coo.31924022055077	arrive at it?"
coo.31924022055077	do you think so? ” “ Well, that is what a good many people say.

coo.31924022055077	where are you going?"
coo.31924022055077	you'd be livin'with me and not with the other fellow, would n't you?
coo.31924022055077	“ A grand scheme, was n't it?
coo.31924022055077	“ But if she does find him out- what then?"
coo.31924022055077	“ But why should the thieves desire a com- promise?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Can I do any thing more?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Can you tell me, sir,"the head inquired,"where I can find section number nine? ” “ This is number nine.
coo.31924022055077	“ Come?
coo.31924022055077	“ Did I?
coo.31924022055077	“ Did you find the Bleecker Street door locked when you went in?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Do you really expect to make half a million out of this affair?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Eh?
coo.31924022055077	“ Eh?
coo.31924022055077	“ Give me a kiss, wo n't you?"
coo.31924022055077	“ How are you?"
coo.31924022055077	“ How did you — who invented- who told you this story?"
coo.31924022055077	“ How is that?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Is it because you are the combination of every thing that I abominate?
coo.31924022055077	“ It's a thousand or nothing! ” “ A thousand?
coo.31924022055077	“ Oh, that? ” said he.
coo.31924022055077	“ Sort o'sick of it, ai n't yer?"
coo.31924022055077	“ The husband worked round again, did he?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Then you'll come? ” he said, in a thick voice.
coo.31924022055077	“ Well, what about her? ” “ I have decided that you shall tell me all about her, instead of introducing me to her."
coo.31924022055077	“ Well, what is it?
coo.31924022055077	“ Well, what's the business going to be? ” he inquired.
coo.31924022055077	“ What about her Wall Street scheme?"
coo.31924022055077	“ What are they going to do to- this lady?"
coo.31924022055077	“ What do you call queer things?"
coo.31924022055077	“ What is it, Osborne? ” the director demanded.
coo.31924022055077	“ What is it?"
coo.31924022055077	“ What makes me care for you- can you tell me that?
coo.31924022055077	“ What robbery was that?"
coo.31924022055077	“ Who said she did trust me?
coo.31924022055077	“ Who was it that made this job possible?
coo.31924022055077	“ Will you take seven hundred and fifty?"
coo.31924022055077	“ You wanted a murder, did you?"
hvd.hn1e6m	If you were to sell it, would you agree to go out of this state and not come back? ” “ I do n't know what I'd come back for.
hvd.hn1e6m	47 “ Are you a committee of one from the Boosters ’ Asso- ciation back there, or what? ”"I'm a private interest, ” grinned Jimmy.
hvd.hn1e6m	And what would Bertram Beegoode have to say when he came back, to find his pretty Mary, the most popular girl in town, nabbed up by a city stranger?
hvd.hn1e6m	And what, may we ask, is on the mind of this comely blonde person as with much relish she devours her chocolates?
hvd.hn1e6m	And, say, a fellow likes to be just, does n't he?
hvd.hn1e6m	But what was the matter?
hvd.hn1e6m	But what was wrong?
hvd.hn1e6m	CHAPTER XIX FAKE, EH?
hvd.hn1e6m	Come on, Jim. ” Scarcely have the men left the garage when Toad turns to Jimmy with a shrilly whispered: “ What's it?
hvd.hn1e6m	Company's busted long ago. ” “ Is this property in the same county as Fawnlake City? ” “ Nope, next county.
hvd.hn1e6m	Do n't you suppose I've seen through your elaborate scheme?
hvd.hn1e6m	Do you want to see the dandiest little engine ever hidden under a hood?
hvd.hn1e6m	Does anybody know yet that the boys are connected with us? ” “ Not a soul! ” “ Then it's off!
hvd.hn1e6m	Fake, Eh?
hvd.hn1e6m	Fake, eh?
hvd.hn1e6m	Get it, you?
hvd.hn1e6m	Get it? ”.
hvd.hn1e6m	Good- bye?
hvd.hn1e6m	Had n't they done enough?
hvd.hn1e6m	He had been used to the sort of girls he had met carelessly in his college days, the sort to whom he could say: “ Well, little one, how goes it?"
hvd.hn1e6m	How could she get him; in marriage? ” 218 THE SON OF WALLINGFORD “ Scare him into it, ” grinned Jimmy.
hvd.hn1e6m	How could the Wallingfords and the Daws be so brazen after their exposure?
hvd.hn1e6m	How could they carry themselves with such cheerful effrontery?
hvd.hn1e6m	How many girls had pressed their warm lips against his, how many girls had his arm encircled and drawn strongly closer?
hvd.hn1e6m	How's that, huh?
hvd.hn1e6m	I'm as much of a crook as this man Wallingford, ai n't I?
hvd.hn1e6m	If ever I do any business at all, it will be straight! ” “ Well, what did you think I meant? ” demanded Blackie indignantly.
hvd.hn1e6m	If he is n't in on it, how can he be a crook? ” “ Well, there is something in that, ” admitted Wallingford judicially.
hvd.hn1e6m	If you mention my plans to a living soul, I'll be held up for that G. and W. stock; so mum's the word between us, eh? ” and they shook hands on it.
hvd.hn1e6m	Is n't it?
hvd.hn1e6m	Is that equality?
hvd.hn1e6m	It's worth — it's worth —"“ What's the use?
hvd.hn1e6m	Jones! ”"Well, wadjoo doin'spyin?
hvd.hn1e6m	Now that we have the blasted desert, how do we make Henry wish he had it back? ” “ That's up to you, Jim, ” grinned Blackie.
hvd.hn1e6m	Now what did that mean?
hvd.hn1e6m	Now where's mine? ” Not visible yet, but near by, they knew.
hvd.hn1e6m	Said he: “ Do you see that tall young man with the two girls hanging on him in such brazen intimacy?
hvd.hn1e6m	She's turning moist, is n't she? ” The doctor scarcely heard.
hvd.hn1e6m	So, if Mr. Beegoode wants to take the gamble, why should you carry it?
hvd.hn1e6m	Stick around, you and your passionate under- mutt. ” “ Well Pete, what do you think of'em?"
hvd.hn1e6m	Tal's worthless land would n't have had the prospect of a railroad except for Jimmy, so what was wrong?
hvd.hn1e6m	Tanks for what?
hvd.hn1e6m	The blur on the paper?
hvd.hn1e6m	The first they knew of the throbbing thrill was when Violet Bonnie Daw came dashing in with:"My Lord, boys, what do you think?
hvd.hn1e6m	Well, who's got all the money out of it?
hvd.hn1e6m	What are they? ” He glanced at the clock, but his gaze shot right on past.
hvd.hn1e6m	What are you and Daddy Jim doing here? ” “ Well, I'll be —"and Horace G. Daw could get no further.
hvd.hn1e6m	What could it be?
hvd.hn1e6m	What did all this mean?
hvd.hn1e6m	What did it mean?
hvd.hn1e6m	What did you propose to do with it? ” and his nose hooked down.
hvd.hn1e6m	What is the principal industry? ” “ Sleep, ” was the instant return, and then Mary's daddy laughed till his curls bobbed.
hvd.hn1e6m	What name did you say?"
hvd.hn1e6m	What price shall we say?
hvd.hn1e6m	What right had he to lean down so close to her?
hvd.hn1e6m	What sort of a son should a crook have?
hvd.hn1e6m	What sort of woman would the imagination picture a crook's wife to be?
hvd.hn1e6m	What was the matter?
hvd.hn1e6m	What was wrong?
hvd.hn1e6m	What's the big idea? ” “ Baby,"grins Wallingford, Jr., unveiling now the sparkle of diabolic intention which had hidden beneath his long lashes.
hvd.hn1e6m	Where are they? ” Up there.
hvd.hn1e6m	Where was Henry?
hvd.hn1e6m	Where was he?
hvd.hn1e6m	Where's Mr. Curtis? ”"Oh Tal! ” yelled Toad, poking his head out of the tent.
hvd.hn1e6m	Where, where indeed, except in Fawnlake City, could you find a gathering so representative?
hvd.hn1e6m	Who was he?
hvd.hn1e6m	Why had Henry kept secret, after his discovery of this extra paper, the fact that he had sold that land to J. Rufus Walling- ford?
hvd.hn1e6m	Why should the goose have been so maligned in history and literature, and made to seem a ridiculous figure?
hvd.hn1e6m	Why think, when thinking leads to no comfortable thought?
hvd.hn1e6m	Why was n't it possible that bad people should show their badness in their faces, so that decent folk might take warning and stay away?
hvd.hn1e6m	With tears in his eyes Jimmy put his arm around his freckled partner, and said: “ Well Toad, what do you think of it now?"
hvd.hn1e6m	Wo n't you say good- bye to me, and forgive me? ” She controlled the trembling in her voice, angry that it was there.
hvd.hn1e6m	Wo n't you sit down and have a cup of tea? ”.
hvd.hn1e6m	Would you mind not announcing your plans for a while?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ A Bolshevik now, I suppose? ”"No.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Are you certain enough of it to gamble our eight hundred dollars?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ But why do you suppose there's no oil coming through? ” speculated Blackie, looking again at the meter.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Ca n't you mortgage it? ” A laugh greeted that idea.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do it good and see if I care. ”"Ca n't you take anything seriously?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do n't you hear?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do n't you think that's enough, Lanks?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do you hear what she says, Tal? ” “ Yes, Emily, ” responded Tal.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do you mean to say that we did n't strike oil in our well? ” demanded Toad.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do you think I want to make a crook out of my own son? ” “ Well, he wo n't know it, you wobbling wompus!
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Do you want to sell your two acres? ” “ Reckon I might, if the price was good enough. ”.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Grandma, can you keep a secret?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Have you told Tal about it? ”.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ How about him, Jim? ” intoned Blackie at J. Rufus's shoulder, his nostrils pinched shut with his nose glasses.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ How do you know? ” 228 THE SON OF WALLINGFORD “ Ask your —"Her voice broke.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ How is it,"she suddenly asked Bert, “ that the unscrupulous can secure the best of everything and seem to have happiness besides?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ How much is there of this unclad Eden of yours?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ How — how about that ten thousand dollars?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ I'm an THE SON OF WALLINGFORD honest grafter, am I?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ In a year from now, will the people in this town be glad you came here? ” “ Hold on, cub. ” Blackie was beginning to be very uncomfortable.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Look here, do we have a car or do we have an oil well?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ May we have the one out in the porte- cochere? ” THE SON OF WALLINGFORD II II “ Three, four, five, ” counts J. Rufus, his eye on every drop.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Say Jim, what did you say became of our three tank cars of expensive oil before the first flow started yester- day?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ So you think there's oil on Tal Curtis'rock farm, eh? ” he said, with a chuckle which was more like a cough.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Wall? ” That name had a ring to Blackie so familiar 100 THE SON OF WALLINGFORD that Violet Bonnie's rage was wasted.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What do you hope to gain by it?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What have you got to judge morals with?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What is it, Jimmy?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What's new about the G. and W.? ” Jimmy nonchalantly tossed down a little blank book.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What's the grouch? ” demands Blackie.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What's the matter with the blasted stuff? ” growled J. Rufus, chewing nervously at the now mop- like end of a huge black, un- lighted cigar.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ What's the rest of the story? ” “ Railroad!
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Where do you get that Wall stuff? ” “ We're the Wall brothers! ” blurted Toad, his freckles black.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Who owns that system of gas pipes now?"
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Who said so? ” 44 THE SON OF WALLINGFORD “ I say so!
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Who was that cat- faced shrimp? ”.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Why did you tell those yeggs to stick around? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Why? ” “'Cause it's my place I reckon.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Will it? ” Tal's voice rang with eagerness.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Will this do, Mr. Wallingford? ” inquired Mr. Daw respectfully, and he produced a gold- mounted pencil.
hvd.hn1e6m	“ With more lies?
hvd.hn1e6m	“ Wo n't you come along?
hvd.hn1esj	150 The Blue Envelope “ An'what are ye doin'here? ” she asked severely.
hvd.hn1esj	160 The Blue Envelope 1 W.“Where are those checks? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1esj	2 nim The Blue Envelope “ What's the idea? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1esj	A man who would pretend to care for a girl and make love to her — for money?
hvd.hn1esj	And all the way home that night I kept ask- ing myself, “ Who is Daisy?"
hvd.hn1esj	And if he did, I would n't want to meet him. ” “ Do n't you like men?"
hvd.hn1esj	And when it's all really my own money?"
hvd.hn1esj	And where in Ireland are ye from, Miss, dear? ” 144 The Blue Envelope 145 He leaned over the desk with eager friendliness, his old eyes shining.
hvd.hn1esj	Are you hurt, dearie?
hvd.hn1esj	Better beat it while the going's good, my friend- or shall I help you? ” “ Oh, so you're her latest! ” said Ranny, sneeringly.
hvd.hn1esj	But I wrote you a note, ” I cried, turning to Mrs. Harris now,"did n't you find it?
hvd.hn1esj	But say — why could n't I- why could n't I learn stenography and typewriting and go and be a secretary to somebody-like Miss Winch is to you?
hvd.hn1esj	But what — what difference does the money make, anyway? ”( How my cheeks burned when I asked that.)
hvd.hn1esj	But, say, what'll you do with your horse? ” This was a question!
hvd.hn1esj	Ca n't your husband, or maybe your little boy, take him over there for me to- day or to- morrow?
hvd.hn1esj	Could be possibly take me?
hvd.hn1esj	Dearie, do n't you realize we could n't put anything like this across unless we'd got powerful influence behind us?
hvd.hn1esj	Did you really remember what I said that day?
hvd.hn1esj	Do you remember how you fairly spit at me the day you came about the position?
hvd.hn1esj	Do you see that policeman standing there?
hvd.hn1esj	Do you wish me to make out checks for these bills and send them out?
hvd.hn1esj	Doctor did n't stay? ” She looked about questioningly.
hvd.hn1esj	Got any friends in New York? ”"I know some people that Mrs. Alex and I had met travelling, and two of my school friends live here, ” I said.
hvd.hn1esj	Had Uncle Bob been so sure that I would come back?
hvd.hn1esj	Had he only wanted to marry me because of the money he thought I had?
hvd.hn1esj	Have I been mistaken all these years have I? ” So that was how the truth finally came out.
hvd.hn1esj	Have n't you got any folks- or any friends?
hvd.hn1esj	He urged me to set the wedding day very, very soon — but how could I with Mrs. Alex away?
hvd.hn1esj	How did you ever save it?
hvd.hn1esj	How much will it be? ” And he sub- sided with mutterings.
hvd.hn1esj	How was I going to go about it?
hvd.hn1esj	How'd you ever get so far out of your way? ”"I do n't know, ” I said.
hvd.hn1esj	How's your neuralgia? ” “ Hush, ” said Minnie, with a grimace.
hvd.hn1esj	I am rich, or I will be?
hvd.hn1esj	I said sharply: “ Does it? ” Ranny seemed to come out of profound medita- tion.
hvd.hn1esj	I want very much to talk to you on a matter that might be worth a great deal to you, as well as to me. ” “ What do you mean? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1esj	I watched her as long as I could and then I asked her: “ Do you like to do what you're doing, Miss Winch?
hvd.hn1esj	I'm so sorry,"she went on to Mrs. James and me,"that this has hap- pened; but is n't it good that it's turned out so well?
hvd.hn1esj	If you do — won't you tell it to me?"
hvd.hn1esj	Is n't it funny how I always look at a man's necktie first?
hvd.hn1esj	Is that really — what you mean, Ranny? ” His face got still more sullen and scowling.
hvd.hn1esj	It's not true! ” “ Leslie, ” said Uncle Bob, looking at me so sternly that I could hardly face him, “ have I ever told you a lie? ”.
hvd.hn1esj	Let's can Jimmie painlessly, as it were. ” We went along another block and then Minnie asked abruptly: “ Has he done anything to annoy you?
hvd.hn1esj	Listen, Leslie, do n't you think that, maybe-- if I waited — and was very patient- you might come to feel differently?
hvd.hn1esj	Tell me, did n't you think — couldn't you guess what I was feeling- all the time? ” He gently took one of my hands, but I shrank away.
hvd.hn1esj	That reminds me I do n't believe I asked you this morning: How much experience have you had?
hvd.hn1esj	The next question was, when would I be missed?
hvd.hn1esj	The tall fellow with the big brown eyes and the brown tie that exactly matches them?
hvd.hn1esj	There was, of course, the fake formula-- but would that deceive them?
hvd.hn1esj	This her? ” She turned and looked at me with lively curiosity.
hvd.hn1esj	Was he really that sort of a man?
hvd.hn1esj	What did anything matter now, except to reach my journey's end?
hvd.hn1esj	What did you have to eat- and how does Jimmie dance?"
hvd.hn1esj	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1esj	What has happened? ” As if I could tell her!
hvd.hn1esj	What made you keep it all day- huh? ” Her tone was a positive insult, and I could feel the hot blood just rush to my face.
hvd.hn1esj	What now — what now?
hvd.hn1esj	What say? ” 250 The Blue Envelope face, and though she was awkward and dressed in the plainest country style, she was decidedly attractive.
hvd.hn1esj	What would there be behind it?
hvd.hn1esj	Who Goes There?
hvd.hn1esj	Would Mr. Kennedy expect me to write answers in French and German and Spanish?
hvd.hn1esj	Would n't they be able to hunt you down and arrest you, from my description?"
hvd.hn1esj	Yes?
hvd.hn1esj	You do n't mind, do you? ” 256 The Blue Envelope dashing against the windows and black clouds hung low in the sky.
hvd.hn1esj	You do n't think I'm going to sit about meekly and let you and Mrs. Alex pick me out ama husband, do you?
hvd.hn1esj	Your husband- is he here?
hvd.hn1esj	“ An'how was y'r lunch, me dear?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ Are n't we two geese, though?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Are n't you going to speak to me, Leslie? ” he said, in an unpleasantly familiar way.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Are you Daisy? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Are you going to the Subway? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Are you so sure they are going to be lost? ” asked Uncle Bob, looking at me with a Sunday- school- teachery look.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Business is n't everything?
hvd.hn1esj	“ But we got on pretty well without him, did n't we? ”.
hvd.hn1esj	“ But what about languages?
hvd.hn1esj	“ But where's the formula? ” I cried.
hvd.hn1esj	“ But you do n't, eh? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Ca n't I blandish you into being nice?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ Can you answer letters without dictation,"he asked,"and make'em sound all right?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Desk- desk? ” he said vaguely.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Did I frighten you, Miss Brennan? ” he asked politely.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Did you hurt your hat? ” “ Probably,"he said, “ but why worry?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Did you hurt your hat? ” “ Probably,"he said, “ but why worry?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Did you think of going on the stage? ” she asked then, still more offensively it seemed to me.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Do n't you think, ” I asked Minnie one evening when we were going round to Celia's, “ that Jimmie Peters hangs round too much?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Do you know his name? ” I asked her.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Do you know that reason?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Do you realiy mean, Uncle Bob, ” I asked, “ that you would let me have only ten miserable little dollars a week for six years?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Do you want so much to be rich? ” he asked slowly, and not a bit in his usual voice.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Father must have had some reason for wanting me to do this, must n't he, Uncle Bob? ” I asked at last.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Have I got to dictate answers to all that? ” he asked in evident dismay.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Have you — have you been in New York long? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ His chancewhat do you mean? ” I asked, as unconcernedly as I could.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Honestly, is there anything like it in Chi- fago?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ How are you feeling by this time? ” he asked sud- denly when we had gone a few blocks farther.
hvd.hn1esj	“ How did you ever in this round world come to think of that, Miss Brennan, may I ask?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ I mean exactly that. ” The Blue Envelope 23 “ And why, ” I went on, “ do you want me to tell this to Ranny?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Is n't there something I can do for you? ” I was hardly awake yet.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Is that it? ” The Blue Envelope 181 “ Yes,"he said eagerly, coming closer to me, “ that's just it.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Is that you, Mrs. Alex? ” I called sleepily.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Is this Mrs. Nasworthy? ” I asked, remember- ing the name Mrs. Kroll had used.
hvd.hn1esj	“ It's a dramatic ending for our last evening, is n't it? ” I said.
hvd.hn1esj	“ It's interesting to eat, is n't it? ” she said,"and to have a comfort- able room to live in, and to have clothes to wear?
hvd.hn1esj	“ It's interesting to eat, is n't it? ” she said,"and to have a comfort- able room to live in, and to have clothes to wear?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Nerves all right now? ” “ I was n't really nervous,"I said indignantly.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Oh, George- is he dead? ” I burst out.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Oh, my gracious! ” I said, “ are big brothers as disagreeable as all that?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Say, are n't you hungry? ” she went on.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Say, what's the matter — you're not sick, are you? ” She was really concerned about me, the girl I had snubbed so hatefully the day before.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Tell medid he get his chance? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Was you looking for Nasworthys?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Well, hang it, ” he burst out at last,"we've got to live, have n't we?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Well, what do these people whose names you refuse to tell want me to do? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What d'you mean, ages? ” asked Jimmie, getting in beside me and giving his silk hat a knock in the process.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What do you mean by coming in here without knocking? ” he said, looking again exactly like a bad, mad, rude little boy.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What does this mean? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What happened? ” asked Mr. Kennedy weakly.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What is it? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What is ut, Miss, dear? ” I now knew what it was, oh, I knew.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What is ut?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ What time is it?
hvd.hn1esj	“ What's the idea? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ What's yours? ” “ Humph, you're Irish, ” he replied.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Where do you want to go to, Miss? ” at last asked the hitherto speechless Jabez.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Where's my desk? ” I asked, taking the papers and looking about the room, for there was just the one desk and he was sitting at it.
hvd.hn1esj	“ Who are you?
hvd.hn1esj	“ Why the mad haste?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ Why — what do you mean?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ Would it bewould I be a nuisance- if I asked to come along? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1esj	“ You ca n't get into a great deal of mischief in a month or two, Leslie, can you?"
hvd.hn1esj	“ You go ahead and spend every cent, and then what are you going to do when you need some new clothes?
hvd.hn1esj	“ You heard what the lady said, did n't you?
hvd.32044080923246	'Art thou the purest brother?'
hvd.32044080923246	But had his mind returned to this matter?
hvd.32044080923246	But was this merely another subterfuge of Barnsfield?
hvd.32044080923246	Can any- thing be done? ” “ Nothing could be more simple, ” replied Randolph Mason.
hvd.32044080923246	Can it be Bishop Simon- ton's carriage I see yonder?"
hvd.32044080923246	Can you gather the significance of such an undreamed of ending to 46 The Burgoyne- Hayes Dinner the effort each of them made to marry a fortune?"
hvd.32044080923246	Could you live in the Marquesas on six hundred a year? ” The consumptive's eyes snapped.
hvd.32044080923246	Did he understand what I was asking?
hvd.32044080923246	Did n't I tell you I was drunk when I did it?
hvd.32044080923246	Disobey Randolph Mason?
hvd.32044080923246	Do you promise me that?"
hvd.32044080923246	Does such a rule of law seem to you to be justice? ” It was now Andrew Flint's turn to sneer.
hvd.32044080923246	Does this seem to you to be any sounder justice?"
hvd.32044080923246	Fifty plunks a month?
hvd.32044080923246	He came forward, suggest- ing that, after all, would it not be wiser to leave her where they had found her?
hvd.32044080923246	How can it matter, anyway?
hvd.32044080923246	How can that help?"
hvd.32044080923246	How could his brick be brass?"
hvd.32044080923246	How is this mortgage to be avoided?"
hvd.32044080923246	How many sequins for her?
hvd.32044080923246	How would it do to rifle the poor box at St. Thomas's?"
hvd.32044080923246	I could, of course, bring him to Randolph Mason, but of what use was that?
hvd.32044080923246	I fed them as usual, but, unlike the other 140 The Last Check there any way to correct this injustice?
hvd.32044080923246	I made the bank stand good for the checks. ” 22 My Friend at Bridge “ How?
hvd.32044080923246	I thought you vanished. ” “ What! ” she quoted, “ and lose the loin of beef, the Burgundy, the salad? ” My tone was reproduced adorably.
hvd.32044080923246	If the law permitted this wrong, would your conscience permit it?"
hvd.32044080923246	Is not that true? ” “ That also is true, ” replied Randolph Mason.
hvd.32044080923246	It was a decision of the Court of Last Resort in?
hvd.32044080923246	It was always tremendously expensive; but he would not care for that, would he?
hvd.32044080923246	Just fancy, with what freezing, acid irony he would have said, “ Hast thou won?'
hvd.32044080923246	Make a mistake?
hvd.32044080923246	Mason looked at him carefully for a moment; then he said, “ How much do you owe? ” Winfield Gerry glanced quizzically at me.
hvd.32044080923246	Mason, ” she said, “ why did you break your promise to me?"
hvd.32044080923246	Mason,"I answered, “ do you know where Jeremiah Patton and Belmont Lane are to- day?"
hvd.32044080923246	Mason,"I replied, “ for once in your life you are mistaken. ” “ Mistaken! ” he said, “ I mistaken?"
hvd.32044080923246	Might it not be that such a result was necessary in Randolph Mason's view of the equity of the matter, under his curious mania for adjustment?
hvd.32044080923246	Mr. Parks, ” he said, “ vat does Randolph Mason mean?
hvd.32044080923246	My Friend at Bridge “ And may I inquire,"I answered frigidly, “ why is it that you can not pay me, Mr. Gerry?"
hvd.32044080923246	Now, Courtlandt, where are we to get this money for her?"
hvd.32044080923246	Now, to be quite sordid, what would it cost to hide in some forgotten nook of the Medi- 112 The Interrupted Exile terranean off the track of tourists?
hvd.32044080923246	One did not speak thus cordially to a hired trailer, and where in Christendom was there a spy who blushed?
hvd.32044080923246	Seeing so much evil there, 194 • The Virgin of the Mountain would she not be more desirous to do a little good when the need was pressing?
hvd.32044080923246	The mandate will come down from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, Monday. ” “ The Atlantic Canadian Securities?
hvd.32044080923246	Then he spoke thus pointedly: 174 The Pennsylvania Pirate “ Your bank's good, is n't it?
hvd.32044080923246	There is the guaranty; do n't you see it?
hvd.32044080923246	To what class did such per- sons belong?
hvd.32044080923246	To what subtle, mys- terious lengths had she gone in support of an idea purely lyric?
hvd.32044080923246	Was he not, in 262 The Danseuse fact, merely annoyed by a supposedly meaningless in- terruption?
hvd.32044080923246	What advantage did such a plan offer to this com- pany?
hvd.32044080923246	What did he want?
hvd.32044080923246	What do you mean? ” “ I'll cut it out, ” replied the man, “ I will begin over.
hvd.32044080923246	What do you think of him?
hvd.32044080923246	What do you want?
hvd.32044080923246	What need was there to send me scouting into the Tenderloin and then here?
hvd.32044080923246	What strategy had this woman laid?
hvd.32044080923246	What then?'
hvd.32044080923246	Whence arose the potent, dominating strength of such a fancy as that moving her to jeo- pardize the fortụnes of her father?
hvd.32044080923246	Where then was the flaw?
hvd.32044080923246	Who would indemnify the Fifty- eighth National Bank?
hvd.32044080923246	Why was he not sent promptly to the electric chair, and, afterward, to dimmer audiences?
hvd.32044080923246	Why was the singer Robini above the law?
hvd.32044080923246	Why, then, did this man, reared in kings'houses, thus strangely wish it?
hvd.32044080923246	Why, then, this immunity to the Marquis Mazaccra, as of one heaven- born, amenable to no law?
hvd.32044080923246	Would I come there?
hvd.32044080923246	Would I return to the house?
hvd.32044080923246	You will pay the people's money back to them, wo n't you?
hvd.32044080923246	You're a lunger; ai n't you?
hvd.32044080923246	Young Gerry shifted his feet uneasily: “ Well,"he began weakly, “ wo n't that do for an explanation?
hvd.32044080923246	ai n't he?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ A case for you?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Am I so old, then?
hvd.32044080923246	“ And do you know,"I said, “ what would happen to your little note?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Are the others like this?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Are you a plain- clothes Johnnie?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Are you badly hurt?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Are you related to Marcus Gerry?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ But you?
hvd.32044080923246	“ But, Mr. Mason, ” I urged, “ what shall I do with it?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ But, ” continued the attorney, “ when this agree- ment is once effected, what will be there to save him?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Certainly, ” I said; “ but why not bring the man in the moon, too, and the Witch of Endor?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Do you admit it, then?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Do you know of an authority construing this statute?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Do you want a physician? ” I asked.
hvd.32044080923246	“ For what?
hvd.32044080923246	“ For what?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Gentlemen, ” he said, “ can we not waive conven- tions and get at once to this matter?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Has the counsel for the prisoner anything to say on the admissibility of this evidence?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Have I the honor, ” I said, “ to address Madame Versäy? ” A furtive light came into the cold, tallow eyes.
hvd.32044080923246	“ Have you read this decision? ” he said.
hvd.32044080923246	“ Have you seen Barnsfield?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Have you the Revised Statutes?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Heinrich,"I said to the club steward, “ what is* Der Kapitän ging mit seinem Schiffe unter"?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ How could one hope that you had escaped bondage for so long?
hvd.32044080923246	“ How much money will it take to satisfy this mort- gage?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ How? ” said the attorney, his finger still lifted, his voice still impressively deliberate.
hvd.32044080923246	“ I beg your pardon, ” he said; “ can you tell me if this article belongs to Miss Garnett?
hvd.32044080923246	“ I see it,"said the lawyer; “ but it is not worth filing room. ” “ What?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Is Wilder acquitted?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Is this Ma- dame von Hubert?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Is this a dilatory motion, Mr. Scott?
hvd.32044080923246	“ It ai n't good money; is it?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Judge, ” he gurgled, “ Judge, do you hear that?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Let me understand you?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Madam, ” I said, “ did you call this cab?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ May I inquire, ” I said, “ who it is that honors me with so close an attendance?
hvd.32044080923246	“ May I inquire, ” he said, “ who it is that is about to send Miss Caroline Pickney to the peni- tentiary? ” “ It's me, ” said Henderson.
hvd.32044080923246	“ May I inquire, ” he said, “ why you are thus en- deavoring to deceive me?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ May I inquire,"he said, “ why I am thus strik- ingly honored?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Misther Parks, ” he said, “'tis the speed limit you are after wishin'to exceed?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ No interest?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Not quite that, ” replied Mason;"but have you not returned a larger measure of injury than that received?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Now, in all this investigation what wrongs have been exposed?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Now, my man, ” he continued, “ what is all this furore about?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Parks,"he said, “ did you get that money?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Was that Randolph Mason?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Was that Randolph Mason? ” he said.
hvd.32044080923246	“ Well, ” I said, “ what important effect can that have?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Well, ” he said,"is there any trail out?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ What am I to do?
hvd.32044080923246	“ What are these bonds worth?
hvd.32044080923246	“ What do you want?
hvd.32044080923246	“ What interest can you have in Randolph Mason? ” “ You will learn that a little further on, ” she said.
hvd.32044080923246	“ What interest have you in my father, then? ” she in- quired.
hvd.32044080923246	“ What is the matter with you then? ” I purposely phrased the question so that a nodding would not answer it.
hvd.32044080923246	“ What is the truth about it? ” said Mason.
hvd.32044080923246	“ What then?
hvd.32044080923246	“ What to do with it?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ What was wrong with it?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ What will you say in your little note? ” I inquired.
hvd.32044080923246	“ What would happen to it?
hvd.32044080923246	“ What! ” cried Beatrix Smith, “ sell the land to Williams?
hvd.32044080923246	“ What's all this rot?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Where is this man, Egan Bedford?
hvd.32044080923246	“ Who did kill him? ” said the lawyer instantly.
hvd.32044080923246	“ Who is the girl, Courtlandt?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Why did my father's attorney come here? ” “ Why do you come here?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Why did my father's attorney come here? ” “ Why do you come here?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ Why, then,"said Mason, “ have you made me these lurid speeches?
hvd.32044080923246	“ You are president of this insurance com- pany; are you not? ” “ Why, yes, I am still its president, ” replied Curtis."
hvd.32044080923246	“ You give it up then, you bid me ruin Gar- nett?
hvd.32044080923246	“ You have doubtless,"he said in excellent Eng- lish, “ heard from Pietro here the story of the Virgin of the Mountain?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ You mean the Smith deed?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ You were looking for this house, then?"
hvd.32044080923246	“ You will hardly institute such a suit, I think. ” “ Why will I not institute it?
hvd.32044080923246	” he said, without rising, without an inflection of interest or courtesy, as he would have said: “ Is this the contract?
hvd.32044080923246	” “ Returned out of court, coupons paid up, costs assumed by the Syndicate. ” “ André Dessausure? ” “ Dead,"I replied.
hvd.32044080923246	” “ The bond in ques- tion?"
hvd.32044080923246	” “ What have you intended to do?
hvd.hn1pas	Ai n't'e'evingly? ” said Lipp, with a broad grin. hvd.hn1pas Are you Mr. Jordison of the Red House? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hn1pas	Dickie's tired, ” the voice went on, “ and where's mother, gone away on a visit? hvd.hn1pas Hallo, Lady Agnes, ” he cried cheerfully, “ have you come to lend a hand?"
hvd.hn1pas	How long have you been here? ” He snapped the last half dozen words out so savagely that Lord Heatherstone shrank back a pace. hvd.hn1pas I and my friend want to stop a night here, ” Quy said; “ have you a room?"
hvd.hn1pas	It is absolutely necessary that this discovery should not get into the newspapers. ” “ What is it?
hvd.hn1pas	More important than politics? ” “ Yes, ” he replied. hvd.hn1pas Where are we, Quy? ” he said, with a yawn.
hvd.hn1pas	Where did you get this watch?
hvd.hn1pas	Where's mummy?
hvd.hn1pas	310 The Black Motor- Car “ Why?"
hvd.hn1pas	A fair chance for life, eh?-you devil, you missed that time.
hvd.hn1pas	A truce, eh?
hvd.hn1pas	And what are you, then? ”"A fool, perhaps, Agnes; I know you think me one."
hvd.hn1pas	Are you going to let me gag you quietly, or must 206 The Black Motor- Car I use force?
hvd.hn1pas	Are you married? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1pas	Are you pre- pared to go on?
hvd.hn1pas	But we wo n't be too hard on him the first day, eh, Lipp?
hvd.hn1pas	D'yer think'uman natur''ll stand it?"
hvd.hn1pas	Dead?
hvd.hn1pas	Dead? ” she repeated.
hvd.hn1pas	Di- rectly the funeral is over I shall leave England. ” “ Alone? ” the woman said, in a tender voice.
hvd.hn1pas	Did her husband know of anything that would have been likely to give a great shock to her system?
hvd.hn1pas	Did his head ache?
hvd.hn1pas	Did you ever meet him before you came across him at the Red House? ” And Lord Heatherstone watched Holme's face carefully as he asked the question.
hvd.hn1pas	Do n't you know your place, confound you?
hvd.hn1pas	Do these facts bring anything to your mind? ”"A motor? ” said the policeman slowly.
hvd.hn1pas	Do these facts bring anything to your mind? ”"A motor? ” said the policeman slowly.
hvd.hn1pas	Do you both agree to swear these oaths?"
hvd.hn1pas	Do you know if Arthur Sterious is in England?"
hvd.hn1pas	Do you rec- ollect, Harry, how we pictured him, a tall red- bearded scoundrel, with yellow teeth and rusty armour?
hvd.hn1pas	Do you recognise the handwriting?"
hvd.hn1pas	Do you think I am giving up nothing?
hvd.hn1pas	Do you think he will run away? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	Do you understand? ” “ Yes, guvnor,"the man replied;"but gi'me your solemn oath. ” Jordison rose to his feet and held out his hand.
hvd.hn1pas	Do you wish the warrant read to you? ” “ You need not trouble, ” Porteous replied.
hvd.hn1pas	D’yer think yer would n't get caught between'ere and the wall, if'e cried out?
hvd.hn1pas	Face to Face 193 “ Now, ” she said, when she had completed her task, “ will you explain exactly what you want, and who you are?
hvd.hn1pas	For thirty miles he will have to go straight ahead on the north road. ”"And what do we do when we overtake it?"
hvd.hn1pas	Have you a thought for me?
hvd.hn1pas	Have you ever come across a young fellow of the name of Richard Behag? ” Arthur Holme did not answer.
hvd.hn1pas	Have you got any men about that can lend a hand with the cases when the tide runs out?
hvd.hn1pas	He is the son of a thief. ” “ Why do you not leave to- morrow, and take him with you?"
hvd.hn1pas	Holme?"
hvd.hn1pas	How long has this been going on? ” “ It commenced five minutes before you came into the room.
hvd.hn1pas	How's the electioneering going, Mr. Holme? ” “ We are quite satisfied, ” Holme replied.
hvd.hn1pas	I am still convinced that Jordison is hiding not far from this very house. ”"Where do you think he is?
hvd.hn1pas	I shall shave off my beard and moustache. ”"And your wife? ” she said in a low, hard voice.
hvd.hn1pas	I think your favourite dress was crimson velvet, trimmed with er- mine? ” “ It was, Harry, it was.
hvd.hn1pas	I trust you have had a pleasant night? ” Holme did not answer, but drew back his arm and glared through the tiny opening in the door.
hvd.hn1pas	If we're out on business-"Have you all we want? ” Jordison broke in quietly, turning the light on the man's face.
hvd.hn1pas	Is the dinner ready?"
hvd.hn1pas	It is a point in my favour. ”"I thought you intended to buy a motor- car for your- self? ” queried Lady Agnes.
hvd.hn1pas	It seems ridiculous, does n't it?
hvd.hn1pas	Lady Agnes rushed up to Lord Harry and over- whelmed him with a torrent of questions: How did he feel?
hvd.hn1pas	Northward 241 “ She's a beauty, is n't she?"
hvd.hn1pas	Now, are you going to let me gag you quietly?"
hvd.hn1pas	Some- thing you are afraid to tell me?"
hvd.hn1pas	Somewhere in the marshes?"
hvd.hn1pas	The Breaking of the Chain 35 Why do you look away from me?
hvd.hn1pas	The article was headed, “ Has Jordison Come to Life Again?"
hvd.hn1pas	The engine- house is now an'ole in the ground, as far as I can see. ” “ Where's Susanson?"
hvd.hn1pas	There was glass in the windows, and the garden is being cleared up with a scythe. ” “ Who's taken it? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1pas	They collared Jermy and asked him to vote straight and true, and filled'i m up with drink. ” “ Drink! ” Jordison said sharply;"Jermy drunk?
hvd.hn1pas	Was he cold?
hvd.hn1pas	Was he feverish?
hvd.hn1pas	Was he wet?
hvd.hn1pas	Was it possible that history had repeated itself, that the son was tainted with the father's blood, that the criminal instinct had become hereditary?
hvd.hn1pas	Was this the only way?
hvd.hn1pas	What do the fowls say, papa?
hvd.hn1pas	What do these two ugly men want?
hvd.hn1pas	What else matters so long as you are mine? ” And again he kissed her, and yet again.
hvd.hn1pas	What is it?
hvd.hn1pas	What on earth's that? ” A loud burst of cheering suddenly burst upon their ears.
hvd.hn1pas	Where's Har- land? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	Who are they? ” “ They gave no name, sir, but they said their business was important."
hvd.hn1pas	Who are you, you damned adven- turer?
hvd.hn1pas	Who are you?
hvd.hn1pas	Why do you say that you have killed her? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	Why do you think of him?
hvd.hn1pas	Why the hell does n't that fire burn up?
hvd.hn1pas	Will you swear?"
hvd.hn1pas	You do n't speak, I suppose?"
hvd.hn1pas	You know it?
hvd.hn1pas	You must leave England the day after to- morrow. ” “ The day after to- morrow? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	You told me twenty- four hours at least- and why are you here; why are you not-? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	You will be a good boy with your uncle? ” “ Yes, papa, ” the child answered, “ and when will you come? ” “ Later on, Dickie, later on."
hvd.hn1pas	You will be a good boy with your uncle? ” “ Yes, papa, ” the child answered, “ and when will you come? ” “ Later on, Dickie, later on."
hvd.hn1pas	You will, of course, disguise yourself? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	that's your song, is it? ” Jordison replied.
hvd.hn1pas	very good. ” “ My child, ” said Porteous, in a low voice, “ may I see him?"
hvd.hn1pas	why should I talk of it?
hvd.hn1pas	“ Agnes, ” he said softly, “ I implore you, dear Agnes-oh, what have I done?
hvd.hn1pas	“ Are you not John Porteous?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Are you not glad that you are free? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Are you ready, sir? ” said Sergeant Scott.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Asleep, Outen? ” he queried, as they pushed the boat off.
hvd.hn1pas	“ But you? ” “ I will follow by the next boat a fortnight later.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Ca n't we break clear of the cursed thing, Outen?
hvd.hn1pas	“ D'yer think I'm goin'to put my neck in their dirty'ands, or yours either? ” continued the ruffian, echoing Jordison's own thoughts.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do n't want another term, do yer?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you intend to shoot me?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you know Jordison's writing? ” Lord Heather- stone asked.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you know anything about Behag's death that is not known to the police of Valparaiso? ” Holme shrugged his shoulders, but still did not reply.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you not understand? ” he continued, scarcely heeding her interruption.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you remember Poe's story of the'Purloined Letter'?
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you remember when I gave you this ring? ” It was a single large opal in a plain gold set- ting.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Do you think my love is to be bought?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ H'm, ” replied Holme, “ how fast do you say? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Have they begun excavating for the bed of the engine- house, Lipp? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Have those castings come yet from Sheffield? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ How can it be the worst when you are free?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ How did his watch get into the creek, where we found it? ” Holme was still silent.
hvd.hn1pas	“ How did she die?
hvd.hn1pas	“ How long have we got? ” she asked abruptly.
hvd.hn1pas	“ How much have you- have you lent me up to now?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ I am not dressed for gardening, ” she said, “ and why'Lady Agnes'this afternoon, sir? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ I shall get one hundred miles an hour out of her when her engines settle down a bit. ” “ Do you think you can beat Jordison's car?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ I will see her to- day?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ In a few days? ” “ Perhaps, Dickie.
hvd.hn1pas	“ It's a tune we shall have to get accustomed to, eh, Lipp?
hvd.hn1pas	“ Marie, ” he said, “ do you not understand that what happened last night has made it impossible for us to marry?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ May I write a line to my brother- in- law? ” “ Certainly, but I must read it."

hvd.hn1pas	“ Now's the time, ” said Jordis on;"where's the lad- der?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Real pigs? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Thank you, and what are you — an M.P.?
hvd.hn1pas	“ That ring, ” she said slowly, trying to speak in a calm voice, “ where did you get it?
hvd.hn1pas	“ The gentlemen say they must see you, sir, ” she said; “ they have come on business from the bank. ” “ Their names? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pas	“ The landlord? ” said Quy interrogatively.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Well, Lipp,"said the master of the house, piacing the letter in his pocket, “ how are things going on? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Well, gentlemen? ” he said.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Well, ” said Jordison sharply, “ what is it? ” The man plunged into a long and doleful tale to Jermy's discredit.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Well? ” Jordison repeated.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Well? ” said Holme, who was quivering with ex- citement.
hvd.hn1pas	“ What are you doing here, Jermy?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ What connection had you with Richard Behag when you were in Valparaiso? ” Still Holme did not answer.
hvd.hn1pas	“ What do the fowls say, papa?
hvd.hn1pas	“ What do the fowls say, papa?
hvd.hn1pas	“ What has happened? ” she said abruptly.
hvd.hn1pas	“ What has happened?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ What is it? ” he cried out angrily.
hvd.hn1pas	“ What price does this man expect you to pay?
hvd.hn1pas	“ When will she come back, papa?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Who is this?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Who's been fooling with the dynamite? ” he said abruptly.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Whoever can that be, my dear?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Why are you not reasonable?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Why do you not answer?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Why do you say the worst has happened? ” He was silent.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Why do you stand staring, and why are you two men holding on to that chain?
hvd.hn1pas	“ Why not? ” “ I can not go, ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1pas	“ Will you come into the house?
hvd.hn1pas	“ Would you rather have a whisky- and- soda?"
hvd.hn1pas	“ Yer bloomin'skunk! ” Lipp growled, “ yer thought yer'd got the five thousand pounds, eh? ” and he laughed horribly.
hvd.hn1pas	“ You are safe enough here. ” “ Wot of Jermy and Susanson? ” said the man.
hvd.hn1pas	“ You mean you will not? ”.
hvd.hn1pas	“ You will go the day after to- morrow? ” she whis- 18 The Black Motor- Car pered.

hvd.32044086828696	77 THE THOUSANDTH WOMAN “ You do n’t mean the poor man? ” cried Blanche, looking from one to the other.
hvd.32044086828696	And then, as I told you, Scruton was ten thousand times more sinned against than sinning. ” “ Are you sure?
hvd.32044086828696	And what night do you mean? ” “ The night it all happened, ” said Caz- alet steadily.
hvd.32044086828696	Are n't you going, too?
hvd.32044086828696	Are n't you going, too?
hvd.32044086828696	Blanchie, will you come? ” THE END THE THOUSANDTH WOMAN was one reason why it rang so true to one listener at every point.
hvd.32044086828696	But I rather gathered he was not go- ing to be in it himself? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086828696	But how did he stop the other man's mouth, and — how do you know? ” “ Never mind how I know, ” said Caza- let.
hvd.32044086828696	But it's not at that end they'll put the salt on their man. ” “ Which end will it be, then? ” “ The river end.
hvd.32044086828696	But what about some hole in the floor? ” “ I made one myself with one of those knives that contain all sorts of things, including a saw.
hvd.32044086828696	But who's your Amer'can friend, Cazalet? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044086828696	Do n't you remember how the path ran round to the other end of the yard?
hvd.32044086828696	Do you see what the gardener says about the 32 IN THE TRAIN man who ran out bareheaded?
hvd.32044086828696	Have I been talking in my sleep? ” “ Why, yes! ” replied Hilton Toye, and broke into a smile that made a human be- ing of him.
hvd.32044086828696	He rang me up last night. ” “ You ’re on the telephone, are you? ” “ Everybody is in these days.
hvd.32044086828696	He was remanded till next week. ” “ How did he look? ” and, “ Had he a beard? ” demanded Cazalet and Blanche simultaneously.
hvd.32044086828696	He was remanded till next week. ” “ How did he look? ” and, “ Had he a beard? ” demanded Cazalet and Blanche simultaneously.
hvd.32044086828696	Hilton Toye, edging in his word in a pause for a gulp of coffee, said he guessed he visualized — but just where had those missing things been found?
hvd.32044086828696	I came down to kind of warn you, Miss Blanche! ” “ Against him? ” she said, as if there was only one man left in the world.
hvd.32044086828696	I did think then — but I ca n’t swear to him even now! ” “ Tell us about it. ” “ Do you mean that, Scruton?
hvd.32044086828696	I give you my word. ” “ If you break it, I break mine that minute?
hvd.32044086828696	I guess he told you? ”.
hvd.32044086828696	I had med- dled already; how could I give the alarm without giving myself away to that ex- tent, and God knows how much further?
hvd.32044086828696	I know only what I heard down there. ” “ What did you hear? ” asked Cazalet.
hvd.32044086828696	I suppose you know? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044086828696	I thought you came round by sea?
hvd.32044086828696	I told you so the last night. ” “ Then it came to you in Australia? ” said Toye, with a smile as whimsical as the suggestion.
hvd.32044086828696	I23 THE THOUSANDTH WOMAN “ Did you find them? ” “ Well, I kicked against the truncheon, but Drinkwater dug it up.
hvd.32044086828696	If you had a friend, would n't you do the same? ” “ Yes, if I ’d such a friend as all that, ” she faltered.
hvd.32044086828696	Is it a deal that way? ” “ Yes!
hvd.32044086828696	Is it conceivable that he should go and do a thing like this the 88 VOLUNTARY SERVICE very moment he gets out?
hvd.32044086828696	It hurts me! ” “ Then will you explain yourself?
hvd.32044086828696	It takes you so long to flit around that you never know when you've got to start in again. ” “ Which capital is it this time? ” said Cazalet.
hvd.32044086828696	It was the first going, and why should I waste a week?
hvd.32044086828696	Lives along the river, down Kingston way, in a big house. ” “ Called Uplands? ” “ Yes, sir!

hvd.32044086828696	So Mr. Toye must be turned out of the con- I7o THE THOUSANDTH WOMAN about?
hvd.32044086828696	Soon enough to take a hand- bag and a tooth- brush, eh?
hvd.32044086828696	What did that matter?
hvd.32044086828696	What did you think of him, Cap- tain Aylmer, on the whole? ” “ Ah, there you have me.
hvd.32044086828696	What have I done to be saved by Toye?
hvd.32044086828696	What on earth made you think of him? ” “ Talking of those who suffered for be- ing the dead man's friends, I guess, ” said Toye.
hvd.32044086828696	What was to be done?
hvd.32044086828696	What were they doing, prowling about?
hvd.32044086828696	What's the matter? ” he whispered.
hvd.32044086828696	Where does it say anything about his being robbed? ” “ Here! ” Cazalet had scanned the pa- per eagerly; his finger drummed upon the place.
hvd.32044086828696	Where have you lived?
hvd.32044086828696	Where's your beard? ” 5O DOWN THE RIVER “ I had it off the other day.
hvd.32044086828696	Would n't you in my place? ” “ I do n't know, ” said Hilton Toye.
hvd.32044086828696	Would you very much mind, Blanche?
hvd.32044086828696	Yet if all this were true, what matter how the truth had come to light?
hvd.32044086828696	Yet who in thun- der tracks a man down to rob and mur- der him in his own home?
hvd.32044086828696	You did n't see?
hvd.32044086828696	You did n't see?
hvd.32044086828696	You see, I was kind of interested in all you'd told me about the case. ” “ Well? ” “ Well, that was my end of the situa- tion.
hvd.32044086828696	You write to her some, Mr. Cazalet? ” “ Once a year — regularly.
hvd.32044086828696	“ And to- morrow it's pretty sure to come all right about Scruton, is n't it? ” “ Yes!
hvd.32044086828696	“ And what was that you were saying — that about traveling across Europe and being at Uplands that night?
hvd.32044086828696	“ And would you still? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Are you young Mr. Cazalet? ” he cried.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Beat me? ” he cried.
hvd.32044086828696	“ But I can l ’ ” “ You? ” Blanche chimed in there.
hvd.32044086828696	“ But I expect this search is har- rowed, rather? ” “ Rather, ” said Mr. Drinkwater, stand- ing still in the drive.
hvd.32044086828696	“ But what does old Charlie really think of the case?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Craven? ” suggested Scruton.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Dark, Miss Blanche?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Did he really only use it for his cigars? ” “ A cigar cupboard, ” repeated Drink- water, “ and locked up at the time it hap- pened.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Going to see Scruton, too? ” said Toye.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Have you looked in here? ” demanded Cazalet in yet another key.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Have you only pity for the fellow? ” he cried; for she was gazing at the bearded photograph without revulsion.
hvd.32044086828696	“ How did you come out, and where are the enemy? ” “ The old way, ” he answered.
hvd.32044086828696	“ I left them down there. ” “ And what did you find? ” “ I ’ll tell you later.
hvd.32044086828696	“ I thought I told you? ” he explained impatiently.
hvd.32044086828696	“ I wonder if it was a murder? ” he speculated.
hvd.32044086828696	“ If I could get him off. ” “ Guilty or not guilty? ” “ Rather l ’ ” There was neither shame, pose, nor hes- itation about that.
hvd.32044086828696	“ It that so?
hvd.32044086828696	“ It ’s Blanche Mac- nair, is n't it?
hvd.32044086828696	“ May I ask what you're doing here? ” he demanded bluntly of the male intruder.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Must I tell you? ” His reluctance rang genuine.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Nelly Potts? ” he said.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Oh, a jolly good sort; you'd be awful pals. ” 72 AN UNTIMELY VISITOR “ Should we? ” said Blanche, just smil- ing at her invisible anglers.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Say, did you see the cemetery at Ge- noa? ” suddenly inquired the visitor on their way back through the hall.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Say, waiter, what have you done with the menu that was in that toast- rack?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Scruton? ” he just asked.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Shall I tell you why?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Sweep, you do n't mean to say you came by a German steamer? ” “ I do.
hvd.32044086828696	“ That you, Toye, down there?
hvd.32044086828696	“ That's more like the police theory about Scruton, I guess, bar drawing the bead. ” “ When did you hear of it? ” said Caza- let.
hvd.32044086828696	“ The smoking- room's this way. ” “ I judge you did n't care a lot about the city? ” pursued Toye as they found a COrner.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Then where's the key? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Then where's the key? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Well?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Well?
hvd.32044086828696	“ What crime? ” “ Murder, sir! ” said Hilton Toye.
hvd.32044086828696	“ What did I say? ” he asked, with an amused curiosity at variance with his shaking hand and shining forehead.
hvd.32044086828696	“ What has he done? ” she begged, with a pathetic abandonment of her previous attitude, the moment they were by them- selves.
hvd.32044086828696	“ What on earth were you doing at Up- lands? ” he asked, in a kind of confidential bewilderment.
hvd.32044086828696	“ What's that about a hole? ” said he, turning round.
hvd.32044086828696	“ What's the use of looking in a cigar IOO AFTER MICHELANGELO cupboard? ” that dangerous man of the world made mild inquiry.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Where did you meet the fellow? ” he inquired, with the suitable admixture of confidence and amusement.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Who are these people, Cazalet?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Whose is that, Sweep? ” “ Mine, for the week I ’m talking about!
hvd.32044086828696	“ Why do the police think the other thing? ” he retorted.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Why should n't we go down to Little- ford and get out the boat if you're really going to make an afternoon of it? ” she said.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Why should you be afraid of Hilton Toye? ” How could she tell him?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Why should you be afraid of Hilton Toye? ” How could she tell him?
hvd.32044086828696	“ Will you forgive me, Mr. Toye? ” “ Sure, if I had anything to forgive.
hvd.32044086828696	“ Wo n't you come back for another week, and see if we ca n't ar- range a nice little sudden death and bur- ial for you?'
hvd.32044086828696	“ You are n't a detective, by any chance, are you? ” cried Cazalet, with rather clumsy humor.
hvd.32044086828696	“ You did n't see?
hvd.32044086828696	“ You did n't see?
hvd.32044086828696	“ You mean Scruton?
hvd.32044086828696	“ You thought that, and you took it away? ” “ Not at all, sir.
hvd.32044086828696	“ You were rather impressed with him, were n't you? ” said Captain Aylmer.
coo.31924064977352	I am sure it is, ” said Janet, then, turning to Winyard, she asked, “ Have you been at Langford since I saw you?
coo.31924064977352	I suppose she is very superior to her son, in- tellectually? ” said Maurice. coo.31924064977352 Maurice there?
coo.31924064977352	Shall I have strength to stand alone? coo.31924064977352 Then you parted friends? ” “ Excellent friends, rest assured of that!

coo.31924064977352	201 2 no one ever accused Palliser of brutality or infidelity- and a luxurious home from any motive less than love for another man?
coo.31924064977352	209 how long ago?
coo.31924064977352	23 And now, “ Your husband? ” said the Captain, in a tone full of apprehension.

coo.31924064977352	And how is Captain Rowley?"
coo.31924064977352	Are you feeling quite well again, Maurice? ” “ Yes, perfectly!
coo.31924064977352	Bent would be really pleased to receive me?
coo.31924064977352	Bent, I trust?"
coo.31924064977352	But how should he see them together?
coo.31924064977352	But who is the young man in the cricketing suit, a bright, honest- looking young fellow? ” “ That is Maurice Winyard, the Vicar's eldest son.
coo.31924064977352	But you are looking pale and fagged, my pet, eh? ” “ Yes, dear, I am very tired.
coo.31924064977352	Can Janet Rowley have developed into this stately- look- ing personage? ”"It is a very good likeness, yet wants something she has."
coo.31924064977352	Could I do anything towards such a consummation?
coo.31924064977352	Could he be the favoured lover for whom Janet had deserted her husband, as she ought to have considered him?
coo.31924064977352	Did he come now, because Palliser's approaching marriage gave his former wife a certain liberty?
coo.31924064977352	Do you re- member the day you tried to stand on his bare back and got such a spill?"
coo.31924064977352	Do you remember how I used to rave about it, long ago, and bore you with my castles in the air about going there some day? ” AFTER THE STORM.
coo.31924064977352	Had Darrell been there too- had they laid their plans together there?
coo.31924064977352	Has it induced softening of the brain? ” he said coldly.
coo.31924064977352	Have I ever denied you anything you ever wished for?
coo.31924064977352	Have I not rather anticipated your wishes?
coo.31924064977352	Have I not seen plenty of good men?
coo.31924064977352	Have you not had the fullest advantage of your position as my wife?

coo.31924064977352	He was — or ought to have been--the love of her youth, and — but would she be true?
coo.31924064977352	How are matters going on?
coo.31924064977352	How can we sufficiently thank God that we have no children?"
coo.31924064977352	How did that woman come there?
coo.31924064977352	How was Randal to find evidence against this dreadful woman?
coo.31924064977352	I believe my father wrote to her very strongly? ” “ Yes, and Janet answered very kindly, even ten- WELCOME BACK.
coo.31924064977352	I believe people in your extraordinary position are obliged to be very careful?
coo.31924064977352	I believe you have come down here on pur- pose to see me?"
coo.31924064977352	I can not fathom your motives-you have some secret motive, I am convinced? ” “ Yes!—a strong one.
coo.31924064977352	I do not offend, dear, in speaking so frankly?
coo.31924064977352	I fancy they were going off to the yacht. ”"By the way, do you ever see Rowley's daughter?
coo.31924064977352	I feel thoroughly unmarried. ” “ But you'll take it when you are remarried? ” “ Oh!
coo.31924064977352	I have a curious dread of London. ” “ Why?"
coo.31924064977352	I have got through the worst of it- perhaps?
coo.31924064977352	I must write to poor dear mother, Janet. ” “ Yes, you must; and may I put in a few lines? ” “ Oh yes, do!
coo.31924064977352	I shall never know, for I can never broach the subject to him and he — I wonder if I could interest him enough to begin it?
coo.31924064977352	I shall return about the end of March next. ” “ Earlier if you intend to do Italy en route? ” “ I suppose so!
coo.31924064977352	I should be very pleased to introduce you to my mother- suppose you and Captain Rowley join us? ” to Janet.
coo.31924064977352	I suppose Mr. Palliser must not come and see you?
coo.31924064977352	I suppose that's the connection with the Rowleys?"
coo.31924064977352	I suppose you have n't much faith left in men?"
coo.31924064977352	I trust, my dear Janet, that you do not think I am to blame in any way?
coo.31924064977352	I wonder how Miss de Courcy feels about marrying him, when she knows you are alive? ” “ She does not think about me."
coo.31924064977352	In point of fact, they are as firmly married as ever. ” “ You think so? ” he returned.
coo.31924064977352	In sober seriousness, what have you to complain of?
coo.31924064977352	Is it blighted though?
coo.31924064977352	Is n't it curious?
coo.31924064977352	Is this your return for the tenderness, the luxury, I have heaped upon you? ” “ You have no rival, Randal!
coo.31924064977352	Janet thought for a moment and then said quietly: “ No, I shall make no suggestion. ”"As you will, my dear, and about the trip abroad?
coo.31924064977352	Janet, will you turn from me for such a fanciful idea, when — when you half confess you like me? ” FRIENDSHIP.
coo.31924064977352	Leave me! ” “ Are you safe? ” she whispered, alarmed at the woman's eyes.
coo.31924064977352	Now!—he could never quite trust her again, never?
coo.31924064977352	Now, Captain Rowley, will you and your daughter come and lunch with me to- morrow?
coo.31924064977352	Ought I to write to Tom?
coo.31924064977352	Shall I ever be quite indif- ferent to the doubt with which I am regarded?
coo.31924064977352	Shall we run up to Weymouth to- morrow, Captain Rowley?
coo.31924064977352	She had gone with master a- sailing in his lordship ’s yacht. ” “ Yacht?"
coo.31924064977352	She is, as you see, a little overpowered by her baby's robe. ” “ The man in the surplice is her father, I presume?
coo.31924064977352	Tell me, have you seen Lady Darrell since we parted at Florence?"
coo.31924064977352	That dreadful woman has disappeared, I believe?"
coo.31924064977352	That infernal woman, do you know who she is? ” A CRISIS.
coo.31924064977352	They are so sweet, and — then, who knows?
coo.31924064977352	This surely can ac- count for my eagerness to set you free?
coo.31924064977352	What are they?"
coo.31924064977352	What else could give a woman the strength and force to choose the revolting position of an unwedded wife?
coo.31924064977352	What motive can he possibly attribute to me?
coo.31924064977352	What must his feelings be? ” “ I think I know, Maurice.
coo.31924064977352	When are you likely to return?
coo.31924064977352	When can we have the full account? ” “ This is the third-- oh!
coo.31924064977352	Where is Alec's regiment quartered? ” asked Janet.
coo.31924064977352	Why could you not make up your mind to let your husband go?
coo.31924064977352	Why did you not seek the intervention of friends before it was too late?
coo.31924064977352	Why should I, dad?
coo.31924064977352	Why should she be afraid of social chatter?
coo.31924064977352	Will you settle down into poverty and obscurity? ”>> BREAKING AWAY.
coo.31924064977352	Will you, dear, see her to- day, and ask her to come to me?
coo.31924064977352	Would he never come?
coo.31924064977352	You are sure it will not be too much for you? ” “ Not in the least- I am much stronger than I was a week ago."
coo.31924064977352	You see how the mistake oc- curred?"
coo.31924064977352	You understand what I mean? ” to Janet.
coo.31924064977352	an un- profitable servant,'my own affection is frozen out- why — for want of a little courage, should either of us go back into bondage?
coo.31924064977352	and you'll not be hard on your brother, my pet? ” “ Hard on Tom!
coo.31924064977352	as in truth I am no longer your wife, what — what ought I to do? ” “ Ah, yes, to be sure.
coo.31924064977352	as they had been speaking of him, of the close tie which existed between them?
coo.31924064977352	between his teeth, and after a minute's pause asked gently: “ Tell me, my child, do you never regret all you have given up?"
coo.31924064977352	dearest? ” drawing a chair beside her and taking her hand—“If you look into my eyes- —"Janet smiling, interrupted him.
coo.31924064977352	exclaimed Winyard,"what yacht?"
coo.31924064977352	her in altogether?
coo.31924064977352	she was in the way of worldly advantages to offer, but Janet, will you be my wife?
coo.31924064977352	what has happened? ” cried Janet, starting up.
coo.31924064977352	what was your letter about? ” Then the words broke forth: “ My letter?—my letter was to tell him I will never be his wife again!"
coo.31924064977352	you think my father much more changed than mother? ” said Mrs.
coo.31924064977352	“ And you are all right?
coo.31924064977352	“ And you are going to rusticate for a few days?"
coo.31924064977352	“ And you really do n't mind — not at all?
coo.31924064977352	“ And you think he is quite well and strong?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Are you really mamma's brother? ” asked Kitty.
coo.31924064977352	“ But, Mr. Valentine, is it quite fair to use his labours?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Dear Maurice,"he read, “ can you give us the pleasure of your company at dinner to- morrow at seven- thirty?
coo.31924064977352	“ Did n't she win the cup at Cowes last year? ” asked a plump, sharp- looking military surgeon.
coo.31924064977352	“ Did you come home through Italy? ” she asked.
coo.31924064977352	“ Do you think I was ever for a moment unconscious of your disappointment?
coo.31924064977352	“ Fond?
coo.31924064977352	“ Had she taken it off, and thrown away that badge of legitimate marriage?
coo.31924064977352	“ Have you any reason to think that he was un- faithful to you? ” asked Captain Rowley sternly.
coo.31924064977352	“ He is a nephew of Sir Frederick Saville, is n't he?
coo.31924064977352	“ He is dead?"
coo.31924064977352	“ He must be ten years my junior- how old is he?"
coo.31924064977352	“ His wife!—refused to be his wife?
coo.31924064977352	“ How can I tell until I know what it is? ” said Janet, laughing “ Of course, it is about Randal.
coo.31924064977352	“ How do you do, Maurice? ” said Janet, stretching out her hand to him.
coo.31924064977352	“ How will you stand the-- the sort of disgrace, Janet? ” he cried.
coo.31924064977352	“ How- oh, how is it she is alive, Randal?
coo.31924064977352	“ I am afraid the long nervous strain has been too much for you?
coo.31924064977352	“ I came down yesterday. ” “ Have you lunched? ” asked the host.
coo.31924064977352	“ I have some busi- ness in Town and shall go on to Scotland for my long- promised visit. ” “ Before your sister returns?"
coo.31924064977352	“ I suppose your mother adores your chiidren?"
coo.31924064977352	“ I suppose your sleep has not come back rightly yet?
coo.31924064977352	“ I was just going down to get a bit more oak at Stubbs', when I met this fellow, and what do you think he said?
coo.31924064977352	“ If he did not love you, whom could he love?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Is a man responsible for such impressions?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Is he much changed?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Is it about your letter? ” She bent her head.
coo.31924064977352	“ Is there no chance of your patching up a peace with Randal?
coo.31924064977352	“ Is there no help?"
coo.31924064977352	“ It will soon be over, ” she told herself encourag- ingly, and then?—would it be the peace of death?
coo.31924064977352	“ Lady! ” repeated Palliser with a good deal of sur- prise, “ what lady? ” and he took the note.
coo.31924064977352	“ No, she rarely shows up- deuced elegant- looking I wonder why she cut Palliser? ”"I say, here's Winyard!
coo.31924064977352	“ No; why should you?
coo.31924064977352	“ No?
coo.31924064977352	“ Perhaps so!-another difficulty, dear father, has tormented me lately- what am I to call myself?
coo.31924064977352	“ Shall you remain with my mother, who speaks of passing April and May in London? ” he asked Janet one afternoon.
coo.31924064977352	“ Such a young scapegrace ought to be put in irons,"said Winyard;"going towards home?
coo.31924064977352	“ Suppose you come over with me for a month or six weeks?
coo.31924064977352	“ Tell me what news have you of your soldier son? ” “ My dear Alec?
coo.31924064977352	“ Tell me what news have you of your soldier son? ” “ My dear Alec?
coo.31924064977352	“ Then I fancy I saw it sailing in, some time near eleven o'clock? ” “ Yes, we rounded the point out there about ten thirty.
coo.31924064977352	“ Then what do you think life worth living for? ” “ I am not sure."
coo.31924064977352	“ Then what hour shall we start? ” Darrell asked, addressing Janet.
coo.31924064977352	“ There, ” he said, handing the missive over to his host,"shall we go?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Used you to be in the nursery with her, and stick pins in her doll's face like Frank?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Well, and how do you think Janet is looking?"
coo.31924064977352	“ What an awful business this has been?"
coo.31924064977352	“ What do you want, dear Dad? ” He still hesitated.
coo.31924064977352	“ What fresh humiliation have you planned for me?
coo.31924064977352	“ Where are your babies?
coo.31924064977352	“ Where have you come from?
coo.31924064977352	“ Where is he?"
coo.31924064977352	“ Where is your intended retreat? ” “ Oh!
coo.31924064977352	“ Who can he be? ” asked Maurice of himself.
coo.31924064977352	“ Who is my rival? ” exclaimed Palliser fiercely.
coo.31924064977352	“ Who is this woman? ” Palliser pulled himself together by a great effort, and stepping forward, placed himself between the stranger and his wife.
coo.31924064977352	“ Why do you suggest my pen, Lady Darrell? ” “ Because I am aware how you use it.
coo.31924064977352	“ Why, Janet, have you been ill?
coo.31924064977352	“ Will Gertrude or Lady Darrell have anything to do with me when they know? ” she thought.
coo.31924064977352	“ Will you have some lemon squash, Maurice?
coo.31924064977352	“ Will you see the lady,'m? ” Janet with surprise and pleasure read “ Lady Dar- ON THE RACK.
coo.31924064977352	“ Wo n't you come and kiss your uncle? ” They still hesitated, then Miss Kitty took the initiative and advanced, dragging the boy with her.
coo.31924064977352	“ Would the sanctity of our vows have saved me harmless, had I remained with you when that wretched woman reappeared?
coo.31924064977352	“ Yes, the Puritan comes in there! ” “ How do you know you would be a good husband yourself, Lord Darrell?
coo.31924064977352	“ You are pale, too, but your eyes are as bright as ever, and your mourning makes you look interesting, not ill. ” “ Do you really think so?
coo.31924064977352	“ You look much older, Maurice, and have been very ill, dear? ” “ No, not very ill, but a long time out of sorts.
coo.31924064977352	“ You saw Lady Saville when she was in Town? ” resumed Janet.
coo.31924064977352	“ You think so? ” said Janet, raising her eyes to him with a sudden light in them, “ perhaps you are right!
coo.31924064977352	“ You will write and let Palliser know you nearly all right again, eh, Jeanie? ” This was an oc- casional pet name.
coo.31924064977352	“ You've done something foolish? ” No answer.
coo.31924064977352	“ Yours, with sincerest sympathy, “ DARRELL. ” “ Well? ” asked Tom, looking up, a little surprise in his eyes.

hvd.hn1x1m	After awhile I asked about the ale — why they did not bring it?
hvd.hn1x1m	Come with me and I will put you on a vessel right off. ” “ How much in advance?"
hvd.hn1x1m	Had not the commandant of the Boston navy yard reported the Perry as ready for sea?
hvd.hn1x1m	How can I deliver them to him? ” “ Give them to me.
hvd.hn1x1m	On the way I was told that a brig bound for the West Indies needed a crew, and would I ship on her?
hvd.hn1x1m	The only question with us was, What kind of fish will the next be?

hvd.hn1x1m	When he had got the salt water out of his mouth, he wanted to know “ what in — we were trying to do with him?"

hvd.hn1x1m	“ Halloa, how long have you been ashore? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1x1m	“ Hello, Mike, where did you come from?
hvd.hn1x1m	“ How many have you eaten? ” “ This is the first one, ” I replied.
hvd.hn1x1m	“ Mike, ’ ow's'er'ead? ” was the question often asked at the wheel when they wished to know the point of the com.
hvd.hn1x1m	“ What do you'uns want to come down here and whip we ’ uns for? ” was their only 290 Disappointment and More Waiting argument.
hvd.hn1x1m	“ Why in — did n't you tell me to? ” was my reply.
hvd.hn1x1m	“ You want to ship, do n't you?
hvd.hn1mus	All the morning?
hvd.hn1mus	Is it convenient for you to take me there? ” It was convenient and we left the bank at once. hvd.hn1mus Then you do n't think it the work of a pro- fessional burglar? ” Rankin actually laughed.
hvd.hn1mus	Was the outer door of the safe locked during the service? ” he asked. hvd.hn1mus What's the use of shoving people down? ” 170 THAT AFFAIR AT ST. PETER'S “ You are like your father, Mr. Preston,"said Mary simply.
hvd.hn1mus	Where is Anna? ” Sophie demanded at once. hvd.hn1mus Where's Rankin?"
hvd.hn1mus	'”"And MacDonald has no idea where they went? ” The question again came from Mr. Dennison.
hvd.hn1mus	- “ And did you see Stetson later on Sun- day? ” “ Yes, sir, that evening, ” said Anna, her face again flushing.
hvd.hn1mus	178 “ Will you explain to us, Mr. Farrell, how the little bag belonging to that box happens to be here in your study? ”.

hvd.hn1mus	44 THAT AFFAIR AT ST. PETER'S But was there any reason for her being so confused when I spoke about the window?
hvd.hn1mus	6 And Tom did not leave you at any time? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	Again, if Rankin was right in thinking that Fred knew more than he had as yet been will- ing to disclose, whom was Fred endeavoring to shield?
hvd.hn1mus	Am I wanted? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	And in our quiet, law- abiding little community, who could imagine that this practice would result as it had done?
hvd.hn1mus	Anna, where is Tom Stetson? ” There was a silence before Anna spoke.
hvd.hn1mus	Beyond all doubt that silver had been stolen and replaced, as Rankin had said in the very beginning, by a member of the congregation, but by whom?
hvd.hn1mus	But if Stetson went off with Anna immediately, where and when did he leave her to come back to the church?
hvd.hn1mus	Can you think of some way that would seem to her perfectly natural?
hvd.hn1mus	Could it have been Anna? ” “ I ca n't imagine that.
hvd.hn1mus	Did she have anything to do with Fred's per- turbed condition?
hvd.hn1mus	Do you feel like paddling?"
hvd.hn1mus	Do you think Anna is happy? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	Do you want to go? ” 184 THAT AFFAIR AT ST. PETER'S “ Do you know when Farrell will return? ” asked Rankin meditatively.
hvd.hn1mus	Do you want to go? ” 184 THAT AFFAIR AT ST. PETER'S “ Do you know when Farrell will return? ” asked Rankin meditatively.
hvd.hn1mus	First, what was the matter with Fred?
hvd.hn1mus	For how many hours? ” “ I open it usually at about a quarter to nine.
hvd.hn1mus	Has he any idea who took the silver? ” “ If he has, he has n't told us,"I admitted.
hvd.hn1mus	Have you told him where that box was found?"
hvd.hn1mus	He came to us with the high- est of recommendations from a church in Philadelphia. ” “ Is he popular with his choir?"
hvd.hn1mus	How about Mary, or Anna's mother? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	How did that lit- tle red bag come into his possession, and why was he not at liberty to explain?
hvd.hn1mus	How did you make out with your detective and what has he ac- complished?"
hvd.hn1mus	How many persons know that the key is customarily put there? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	Hurry?
hvd.hn1mus	I asked, and then struck by an inspiration, added:"Would you care for a drive if I bring my car?"
hvd.hn1mus	I could n't take you, Sophie. ” “ Will you if Father goes too?"
hvd.hn1mus	I suppose you can not leave the bank? ” I shook my head.
hvd.hn1mus	I'm MONDAY AFTERNOON 109 not asking her name, but I do ask whether you are her only suitor? ” “ Mr.

hvd.hn1mus	Is it all here? ” I opened the mahogany box.
hvd.hn1mus	Is it much used?"
hvd.hn1mus	Is it possible he could persuade her to show him where that key is kept?"
hvd.hn1mus	Is the sil- ver gone? ”"It is n't in the safe,"I replied miserably.
hvd.hn1mus	Is there any one in the town who might wish you ill? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	John A. Rankin. ”"Mr. Perrin? ” he asked as I received him.
hvd.hn1mus	MONDAY AFTERNOON 65 “ And how about the second service?".
hvd.hn1mus	Perrin! ” “ Is it you, Anna?
hvd.hn1mus	Perrin?"
hvd.hn1mus	SUNDAY EVENING- 43"You are sure they were snapdragon? ” I repeated.
hvd.hn1mus	Sad, the death of young Glines, is n't it? ” “ I do n't know him,"I replied.
hvd.hn1mus	She was expected to be present, was n't she? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	Should we pretend that we were passing and simply dropped in for a call?
hvd.hn1mus	That is, the combi- 64 THAT AFFAIR AT ST. PETER'S nation is off but a few hours on Sunday?
hvd.hn1mus	Then your detective has n't formed a theory? ” “ He has n't imparted it to me,"I replied, busy over a rose- bush.
hvd.hn1mus	There is no possi- bility that it was already missing? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	These people here- do you know Mrs. Glines?
hvd.hn1mus	This is understood? ” We both assented.
hvd.hn1mus	Wait here, will you? ” Fred ran back into the house and I resigned.
hvd.hn1mus	Was she at the eleven o'clock service? ” “ No,"Fred replied, and again his eye- brows gave a quirk.
hvd.hn1mus	We have never had bet- ter singing nor less friction. ” “ Is he married?"
hvd.hn1mus	What connection had his coming with the silver box found in the iris bed?
hvd.hn1mus	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1mus	What do you think of this Pumila?
hvd.hn1mus	What is Anna thinking of? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	What is this mirror for?"
hvd.hn1mus	What on earth could necessitate my presence at St. Peter's?
hvd.hn1mus	Who had been decorating my family lot?
hvd.hn1mus	Who on earth had placed them there?
hvd.hn1mus	Who was the person in our very midst, guilty of this theft?
hvd.hn1mus	Who was this unknown woman, whom Thompson had not mentioned in accounting for the time he was in the church between services last Sunday?
hvd.hn1mus	Why in creation should he give you his mas- ter- key if he were guilty?
hvd.hn1mus	Why, what surprises you? ” “ Does a girl always get disgusted if MONDAY EVENING 123 she sees a good deal of a man? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1mus	Why, what surprises you? ” “ Does a girl always get disgusted if MONDAY EVENING 123 she sees a good deal of a man? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1mus	Will you come and live in it and make it the loveliest place in the world for me? ” Sophie was standing one step above me under the yellow rose.
hvd.hn1mus	Would it be too damp to stroll over for a nearer look? ” “ No, I do n't think it is wet, ” said Mrs. Craig, rising as she spoke.
hvd.hn1mus	You did n't by any chance take it home to be cleaned?"
hvd.hn1mus	You did n't know her? ” Perkins shook his head.
hvd.hn1mus	You have no reason to think that any one besides Miss Dennison was in that room?"
hvd.hn1mus	You know it, do n't you, Preston?"
hvd.hn1mus	Your pieces were all engraved with the name of the church, were they not?
hvd.hn1mus	“ A window, sir?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ After all, why should n't she?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ And Buckley, your treasurer, what about him?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ And how many people have access to the parish- house basement?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ And it is your impression that this Miss Leonard was not at church yesterday? ” “ Yes,"Fred assented thoughtfully.
hvd.hn1mus	“ And where did you go then?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Anna?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Any more questions? ” asked Thompson.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Are we all mad? ” I said, half to myself.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Are you going anywhere in particular, 48 THAT AFFAIR AT ST. PETER'S Preston? ” he demanded at once.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Are you sure it was Stetson who came for her? ” Mr. Dennison asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ But is it not unusual to have a spring- lock on a door like this?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ But the other stairs to the cellar, those down from the passage where the safe stands, those lead into that cellar rather than to this one?
hvd.hn1mus	“ But why should he go down cellar? ” I persisted.
hvd.hn1mus	“ But you do n't suspect Anna?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ But you would come down to an individ- ual?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ But, except during services on Sunday, the safe itself is locked?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Can I see you sometime to- morrow afternoon?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Did Stetson go down the passage with you to the safe? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Did any one come into the church while you were practising? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Did n't Stetson leave you? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Did you find any fresh flowers? ”'Buckley demanded abruptly.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Did you happen to notice whether there was a window open in the sacristy?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON 167 mean those people who recently rented the old Thaxter place? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you know whether there is a master- key to the locks of the parish- house? ” I threw open my hands with a gesture of de- spair.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you mean for me to question her in your pres- ence?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you mind if I sit behind? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you really want that question answered, Mr. Per- rin? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you recall that when we were in the study discussing the matter on Monday after- noon, Rankin sat lounging on the window- seat?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you think Tom Stetson could have stolen the silver? ” asked Sophie.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Do you? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Does he come to see her at your place? ” “ Not that I know of.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Had I better ask Mary whether I walk in my sleep and brought that piece of silver here?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Have you seen Farrell? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Have you yourself noticed that the church was not well kept? ” Rankin asked after a pause.
hvd.hn1mus	“ How did the window happen to be open? ” Buckley demanded.
hvd.hn1mus	“ How does she show ܙܙ?
hvd.hn1mus	“ How is Anna?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ How long has this girl been in your em- ploy?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ How long will the maid be in bringing the tea? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ I want, ” said Rankin, “ to know what happened at the church on Sunday morning between Anna and Stetson. ”"Where is Stetson?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ I wonder if we ca n't go into the parish- house? ” Rankin asked of me.
hvd.hn1mus	“ If not, will you help me in an emergency that has come up?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ If they came, how are we to know who they were? ” the treasurer demanded.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is anything likely to be going on now in the parish- house — a meeting of any society?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is it allowable for me to make an in- quiry? ” Fred asked after a pause, during which Rankin stood looking from the window.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is n't there anything we can do, Father? ” asked Sophie appealingly after the pause in which we all sat thinking.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is n't this early for you? ” “ Just out to raise an appetite.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is that door closed during services? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is the colonial set gone? ” I finally found breath to ask.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Is the colonial set gone? ” demanded So- phie in a queer, small voice.
hvd.hn1mus	“ It will be best to say nothing?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Just what did she have to do with the serv- ice?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Man or woman? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Mary,"I asked, “ will you send some tea out by Anna?
hvd.hn1mus	“ May I ask just where you stand when officiating here? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1mus	“ May I come over this evening?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ May we have the key?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Miss Leonard, then, had gone?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ My interest in your flowers will not be in the least assumed. ” “ Will you come, Fred?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Oh, he came in the Walnut Street gate?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Oh, they were hothouse flowers? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ On what charge are you holding him? ” I inquired, curious to know what had happened.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Particularly, ” Rankin continued, “ to the lockers in the choir- room? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Preston, ” said Fred Farrell's voice,"will you come straight over to the church?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Preston, ” she went on rather eagerly,"did you ask that man whether he thought the silver was stolen by a professional bur- glar???
hvd.hn1mus	“ Preston, ” she went on rather eagerly,"did you ask that man whether he thought the silver was stolen by a professional bur- glar???
hvd.hn1mus	“ Preston, ” she went on rather eagerly,"did you ask that man whether he thought the silver was stolen by a professional bur- glar???
hvd.hn1mus	“ Preston,"she asked, “ do you think it was horrid of me to come here?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Shall I put on a light? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Shall you tell him about Tom Stetson? ” Sophie asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ The church silver? ” she repeated.
hvd.hn1mus	“ The door into the sacristy passage? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1mus	“ They could n't have been iris?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ This girl,''he began, “ what sort of repu- tation does she bear? ” “ Anna is a good girl,"said Fred.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Was it closed yesterday? ” Fred rubbed his chin, trying to remember.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Was the door from this passage to the church open during the early service? ” e “ It was, ” Sophie promptly assented.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Was the outside church door leading to the study unlocked this morning?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Well, Preston, if you were in the church- yard, did you notice any one about the build- ing?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Well, ” he inquired, “ what about Anna? ” For a second I was puzzled, for so much had happened since I talked with Anna!
hvd.hn1mus	“ Were they iris? ” I persisted.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Were you helping Miss Dennison this morning?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ What are those flowers against the hedge? ” he asked her.
hvd.hn1mus	“ What became of Miss Dennison? ” asked Buckley.
hvd.hn1mus	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ What has happened to you, anyway? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ What has happened? ” I asked immedi- ately, “ and where is Rankin?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ What has happened? ” I asked immedi- ately, “ and where is Rankin?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ What is in it?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ What member of the Altar Society came to help you?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ When can you get off? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ When you came back to the sacristy, this other lady- I think you did not mention her name?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ When you went back to the church what became of him? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Where is the heating- plant?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Where's Anna?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Where? ” asked Fred.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Which way?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ While you were under the oak, did any one you know pass by? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Who keeps the key?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Who put it there? ” I asked at length.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Who replaced the silver in the safe? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Who saw it last? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Who sits here, Thompson? ” Fred asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Why has n't it been repaired?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ Why not ask Miss Dennison to tell us just how she left things?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Will you do the question- ing or shall I? ” For a moment I deliberated.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ You have no idea where they came from?"
hvd.hn1mus	“ You have? ” I inquired as I helped her in.
hvd.hn1mus	“ You will come to the vestry meeting pre- pared to handle the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Your maid- Anna Leonard?
hvd.hn1mus	“ Your organist? ”.
hvd.hn1mus	“ Your sexton?".
hvd.hn1fyl	Have you ever had a difference with him?
hvd.hn1fyl	You are Herr Saarbrücken's legal adviser in all his affairs?
hvd.hn1fyl	..."Rosenthal interrupted: “ And you were opposed to the divorce?"
hvd.hn1fyl	140 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE “ How do you know —?"
hvd.hn1fyl	42 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE charged my errand, and I may take it that you will appear to- morrow?"
hvd.hn1fyl	70 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE She turned to go, then stopped and said in the same low tone: “ Fritz, can you give up this case?"
hvd.hn1fyl	A MURDER AND AN ARREST 21 21 “ What is Frau Saarbrücken's Christian name? ”"I do n't know “ Then you ought to know it, Schaltz.
hvd.hn1fyl	Am I deceiving myself? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1fyl	Am I not right, Mr. Wells?"
hvd.hn1fyl	And so you are quite unable to explain it?"
hvd.hn1fyl	And what about the wife?
hvd.hn1fyl	And you carry on a large business- you stay here and spend a lot of money?"
hvd.hn1fyl	Are we agreed?"
hvd.hn1fyl	Are we to suppose that his object was to allow the sweetheart of his youth to become Lord Faring- don's wife?
hvd.hn1fyl	Are your clients rich?"
hvd.hn1fyl	But why had he said nothing about it?
hvd.hn1fyl	Ca n't you find any objection at all to make, ca n't you attack my conclusions on a single point?
hvd.hn1fyl	Ca n't you see that all the slimy octopus- arms that stretch themselves out from such a case'as this have been seeking for you to drag you into it?
hvd.hn1fyl	Ca n't you understand how perfectly indifferent it is?
hvd.hn1fyl	Can you say anything to invalidate in some other way the presumption raised by this examina- tion?
hvd.hn1fyl	Did Sterner then believe that this man was the murderer?
hvd.hn1fyl	Did you know of any people who were his enemies?
hvd.hn1fyl	Do n't you think so? ” “ It's no business of mine,"said the advocate with · slight annoyance.
hvd.hn1fyl	Do you admit that this is a fact of importance? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	Do you understand me now? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	Do you understand?".
hvd.hn1fyl	Do you wish to have added to the case all that has passed between you and your wife — to have it all told to the gaping mob?
hvd.hn1fyl	For this can only be understood thus: did Saar- brücken murder Lord Faringdon?
hvd.hn1fyl	For you do acknowledge that, do n't you? ” 76 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE “ Perfectly, ” replied the accused.
hvd.hn1fyl	Had he by any chance made a slip?
hvd.hn1fyl	Has Herr Saarbrücken talked to you on this matter? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	Have you any idea who committed the mur- der? ” “ No, the whole thing is inexplicable to me."
hvd.hn1fyl	Have you been sent to arrest me, or not? ” The police spirit was boiling within Schaltz, but he made an effort and controlled himself.
hvd.hn1fyl	He approached the mag- istrate respectfully: “ Dr. Sterner, ” he asked, “ how did you come to know that about the locket?
hvd.hn1fyl	He does n't speak Ger- man, so I had some use for my English. ” “ You know English?"
hvd.hn1fyl	He has himself affirmed that he was against it; nothing has appeared to explain this; and so who will believe it?
hvd.hn1fyl	He hesitated; should he turn back and go up to the magistrate and ask him, with due respect, for an ex- planation?
hvd.hn1fyl	He knows nothing. ” “ Tell me, was not Lord Faringdon very intimate with this Saarbrücken?
hvd.hn1fyl	His valet believed he had gone to the opera in Frankfort — as he sometimes did — and had stayed there for the night. ” “ In evening dress?"
hvd.hn1fyl	How could it be otherwise?
hvd.hn1fyl	How did those two come to know each other? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	How many more people shall this fellow ruin before he is called to account?
hvd.hn1fyl	How many points of circum- stantial evidence are there? ” “ Seven, ” said Rosenthal.
hvd.hn1fyl	How then did he get back?
hvd.hn1fyl	I have my orders, and I am obliged to follow them. ” “ Is the magistrate on the telephone, Herr Com- missary? ” “ I beg your pardon?"
hvd.hn1fyl	I have my orders, and I am obliged to follow them. ” “ Is the magistrate on the telephone, Herr Com- missary? ” “ I beg your pardon?"
hvd.hn1fyl	I might ask Dr. Sterner: Where were you on the night of the 7th-8th July last, at half an hour after midnight?
hvd.hn1fyl	Is it Lizzie, who is making you hunt me to death?
hvd.hn1fyl	Is it so? ” “ Yes, ” answered Saarbrücken shortly.
hvd.hn1fyl	Is it true about that? ” “ Yes, there was a little medallion lying by the body."
hvd.hn1fyl	Is that so? ” Rosenthal nodded.
hvd.hn1fyl	Is there community of goods be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Saarbrücken, and is one or both of them guilty of the murder?"
hvd.hn1fyl	It had never been his way, so why should it be so just now?
hvd.hn1fyl	NTZ 10|*?
hvd.hn1fyl	Now it was only: Confess — will you confess?
hvd.hn1fyl	Of course they do n't know anything, these scribblers, do they?".
hvd.hn1fyl	Rosenthal thought to himself: where does he know that from?
hvd.hn1fyl	Schaltz gave a jump: “ Leaving?
hvd.hn1fyl	Shall I send up your name, Herr Schaltz?"
hvd.hn1fyl	She interrupted: “ You know that? ” 134 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE “ Yes, ” said Sterner;"I know it.
hvd.hn1fyl	Sterner continued: “ Will you bring forward a chair for Herr Saarbrücken?
hvd.hn1fyl	Sterner raised his head:"Perhaps —"“ Why am I suspected in this ridiculous way?"
hvd.hn1fyl	Sterner resumed his seat and continued: “ You came back to the hotel the evening before last before eleven?
hvd.hn1fyl	Suppose Sterner was right after all?
hvd.hn1fyl	Supposing Saarbrücken had really mentioned a woman's name to the magistrate?
hvd.hn1fyl	Supposing he had abandoned his chivalrous attitude in this matter?
hvd.hn1fyl	THE INVESTIGATION 51 “ Then perhaps you know, too, that he's a ruined man?"
hvd.hn1fyl	THE INVESTIGATION 61 Was it to be wondered at, then, that he should use it here?
hvd.hn1fyl	Tell me, then, where were you that evening between 12.20 and 1.30? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1fyl	That makes seven, does n't it?"
hvd.hn1fyl	The murdered man was your friend — very well, is there anything within your knowledge which might open up new paths for our investigation?
hvd.hn1fyl	Then she said: “ And now, Fritz, wo n't you apply for leave and go away for a little while?
hvd.hn1fyl	Then this utterly incomprehensible arrest of my husband, and now — Well, do n't you think it is too much for a frail woman?
hvd.hn1fyl	Well, why not?
hvd.hn1fyl	Well- Frau Saarbrücken raised her head, and the magis- trate concluded hastily: “ You have never been con- victed or charged before?
hvd.hn1fyl	Were they old friends, then?
hvd.hn1fyl	What do I care about all that you and Hearne are doing for me?
hvd.hn1fyl	What does he know about what I felt?
hvd.hn1fyl	What does he know about your motives?
hvd.hn1fyl	What does her husband call her? ” “ I do n't know, sir."
hvd.hn1fyl	What is it you want? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	What is your financial position?"
hvd.hn1fyl	What on earth was the man driving at?
hvd.hn1fyl	What sort of man is he?"
hvd.hn1fyl	What was the man's name?"
hvd.hn1fyl	Who can prove an alibi completely?
hvd.hn1fyl	Who knows that I may not have passed the spot while the murder was being com- mitted, and then of what use is my alibi?
hvd.hn1fyl	Who knows when we shall have got so far as to look upon punishment in the same light?
hvd.hn1fyl	Why do n't you accept the invitation?
hvd.hn1fyl	Why should I drag you into the dark pas- sages of my confidence?
hvd.hn1fyl	Why?
hvd.hn1fyl	Will you give me an ex- planation of this, Herr Saarbrücken?"
hvd.hn1fyl	Would anyone believe in that assumption?
hvd.hn1fyl	Would you have any objection to meet- ing him at dinner? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1fyl	You can scarce- ly suppose — or rather, does your wife know of this?"
hvd.hn1fyl	You did not go to Mrs. Saarbrücken and her friend the magistrate, Dr. Sterner, who is doing his best to convict Mr. Saar- brücken, did you?
hvd.hn1fyl	You did so, did n't you, Schaltz? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	You know him, sir, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1fyl	You thought it was nice of him not to betray her, but you nevertheless considered it necessary to inquire her name, did n't you?"
hvd.hn1fyl	You understood the order, did n't you?"
hvd.hn1fyl	You will admit that this sounds very strange?
hvd.hn1fyl	You wo n't?
hvd.hn1fyl	Your father is dead, your mother is living-is that right?"
hvd.hn1fyl	brücken?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And Saarbrücken? ” 20 20 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE “ Stayed at home. ” “ Have you examined Saarbrücken?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And Saarbrücken? ” 20 20 THE MAGISTRATE'S OWN CASE “ Stayed at home. ” “ Have you examined Saarbrücken?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And about this case? ” “ This case, ” said Sterner, “ is not quite a clean one.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And that these circumstances may drag your wife into the case? ” “ I do n't believe it.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And the practical proposal? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And this thing they write about in the paper? ” He took up the paper and ran through the article on the murder.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And you are glad of it?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And you have no idea who it was? ” Sterner shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And you wo n't promise me to retire?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ And your wife — is she prepared for this? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Any inscription?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Any more?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Are there any arrests? ” A MURDER AND AN ARREST 19 “ Do you suspect anybody?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Are there any arrests? ” A MURDER AND AN ARREST 19 “ Do you suspect anybody?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Are you aware that this piece of information makes your case still worse? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ At what time did he leave the hotel yesterday? ” “ Six o'clock.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Beg pardon? ” THE INVESTIGATION 55 “ I knew it; if I had n't known it, do you think I should have had these people arrested?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Beg pardon? ” THE INVESTIGATION 55 “ I knew it; if I had n't known it, do you think I should have had these people arrested?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ But how could you — you who were mine, who had given me your word? ” Sterner took her hand.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ But how then? ” “ I know Sir Longland Hearne, and I saw the will drawn up myself. ” Schaltz was struck dumb.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ But is n't it awful?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ But the Saarbrücken couple, sir?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ But you were in the Park? ” THE INVESTIGATION “ Yes. ” Sterner dictated what had passed to the clerk.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Ca n't it be avoided?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Did they know anything?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Did you know, when you came, that Lord Far- ingdon had been murdered?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Did you meet anyone in the Park?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Did you, Saarbrücken, meet this woman the night before last about half- past twelve in the Cur- haus Park? ” asked Sterner.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do n't you think it did us good to hear this?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you believe that, gentlemen?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you know anything, Schaltz? ” “ Not much, sir.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you then consider Saarbrücken innocent?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you think I ought to go and see the magis- trate? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you think the man is guilty?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you think yourself that the man is innocent?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you wish this outburst added to the docu- ments?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Do you wish to make any further communica- tion?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Does that mean that you arrest me, Herr Schaltz?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Had your mistress gone to bed when you came back? ” “ No, both she and my master were up.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Have you examined Frau Saarbrücken? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Helmuth Saarbrücken, do you wish to add any- thing to what your counsel has advanced? ” Saarbrücken answered the question by a simple No.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Her"could only mean another person — but how in the world had Sterner found out about her?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Herr Rosenthal, ” he said,"you are a sensible man; will you make a bargain?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ I asked if Dr. Sterner was on the telephone?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ I have only to be kept in custody two days, and my creditors will apply for a receiver to be ap- pointed. ” “ Did you foresee this?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ I said you could go; did n't you hear? ” The gaoler went.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ In the old days you used to call me a poet of crime — don't you remember?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ In writing? ” asked the advocate.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Is n't the lady's husband arrested for murder? ” asked Mr. Wells bluntly — it was the democrat up- permost.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Is that all, Lizzie?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ May I come and see you at Falkenstein and talk over this?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Nathalia Stolzi. ” “ Where born? ” “ In Austrian Tyrol, but I have lived here in Hom- burg for fifteen years."
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Oh, Schaltz,"he said in a casual way: “ tell me, is it to you we own the valua- ble information from Hamburg? ” Schaltz turned red.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ One would almost think you wanted to arrest me?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Pounds?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ That they will do that?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ The question before us, then,"said the English lawyer, “ is this: is she innocent of Lord Faringdon's murder?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Then you are quite sure he is guilty?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Very well, then — you wish to stay?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Was it he?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Was not Lord Faringdon missed last night or this morning? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Was there any house in the neighbourhood of the place where you found the body?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Well, that means that you are going to retire, does n't it? ” said Lizzie with a smile.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Wha- at! ” “ Did n't you hear what I said? ” “ But, Dr. Sterner! ” “ I asked you, Schaltz, whether you wished to serve in this case.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What I know is down in the documents of the case. ” “ All of it?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What are they?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What do we know about Helmuth Saarbrücken beyond the facts of his birth and outward circum- stances?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What do you think about it?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What do you think he will try to do? ” asked Lizzie.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ What is crime?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ When did you come home? ” “ At about half past twelve.—I do n't remember the exact time.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ When did you see the murdered lord for the last time?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Where did they dine? ” “ At the Curhaus.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ While you were sitting smoking on the terrace of the Curhaus with the murdered man, was it not? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Who was it?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Whom have you examined?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Why?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Wo n't some other time do?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Yes — if anyone THE INVESTIGATION 75 had asked me about it yesterday, I could have ex- plained it all. ”"Perhaps you will explain it now? ”.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ You have nothing to add? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1fyl	“ You have quite given up this case?"
hvd.hn1fyl	“ You know that you inherit his fortune? ” She raised her head like a startled deer, quick as lightning, with a look of sudden astonishment.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ You were at home the night before last at mid- night? ” “ No,"said the witness.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ You were in service at the little cottage in the Park, with the banker Delphini and his wife? ” “ Yes, ” was the answer.
hvd.hn1fyl	“ You will admit that this looks singular?
hvd.hn1fyl	“ Your name? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1fyl	” “ Then you knew the murdered man personally, sir?"

coo.31924013476571	He came to fetch his things, and then went away in a cab. ” “ Where to?"
coo.31924013476571	How can I get the money, now that that horrible man has gone?
coo.31924013476571	How could she get the money to save her?
coo.31924013476571	How did you come, then, to submit yourself to such a disagreeable operation? ”"I submitted to it because I thought it right to do GRANT AS PRAYED.
coo.31924013476571	I hope to make Kerguelen Island by seven o'clock to correct my chronometers. ” “ What is Kerguelen Island?"
coo.31924013476571	I sup- pose that other counsel besides myself will be ultimately retained?"
coo.31924013476571	Is it Mummie and Daddie coming to fetch Dick? ” Augusta sank back faint with the sudden revulsion of feeling.
coo.31924013476571	Is it New Zealand?
coo.31924013476571	Is the document on the neck of Augusta Smithers a sufficient will to carry the property?
coo.31924013476571	Is the evidence of Miss Smithers to be believed?
coo.31924013476571	Marry him?
coo.31924013476571	Meeson?"
coo.31924013476571	Meeson?"
coo.31924013476571	Now, I ask you, what can you expect from a gentleman, however learned, who has practised for twenty years in the Divorce Court?
coo.31924013476571	Now, Miss Smithers, what have you to say?
coo.31924013476571	Now, do the tattoo marks on the back of this lady constitute such a docu- ment, and do they convey the true last will or wish of the testator?
coo.31924013476571	Now, what does the law understand by the term"Will'?
coo.31924013476571	Of what use was this last extremity of luxury to him?
coo.31924013476571	Old?
coo.31924013476571	PR 4731 mo BRITISH OR EDITION Presented TO Cornell University AMERICAN TAUCHNITZ BY Theodore Stanton OF THE AUTHORS THE 30/4/08 DATE DUE 19?
coo.31924013476571	Perhaps he's sweet on her?
coo.31924013476571	She wondered if he had ever called at the lodgings at Birmingham after she left?
coo.31924013476571	Short — you wish to file a will, I understand; and there are peculiar circumstances of some sort in the case?"
coo.31924013476571	Short?"
coo.31924013476571	Surely he would take her in for a while, and put her in the way of earning a living where Meeson would not be to molest her?
coo.31924013476571	The Kangaroo is showing her heels, is n't she, Miss Smithers?
coo.31924013476571	The President: Have you an affidavit from anybody who saw Mr. Meeson in the water?
coo.31924013476571	Then you were tattooed out of regard for the plaintiff, and not purely in the interests of justice?"
coo.31924013476571	They are trying to keep the people off the boats they are all mad! ” “ Are we sinking?"
coo.31924013476571	What are the circumstances?
coo.31924013476571	What business has its pallor to show itself against our ruddy cheeks?
coo.31924013476571	What can literature be worth, if a man ca n't make a fortune out of it?
coo.31924013476571	What could it mean?
coo.31924013476571	What danger could there be aboard of that grand ship, which sped across the waves with the lightness and confidence of the swallow?
coo.31924013476571	What do you mean to do there — try and run round our little agreement, eh?
coo.31924013476571	What do you want to do?"
coo.31924013476571	What fate then is in store for the unborn novelists of the twentieth?
coo.31924013476571	What is her address?"
coo.31924013476571	What is it to be, old gentleman?
coo.31924013476571	What on, and what with? ” he asked, astonished.
coo.31924013476571	What was she to do?
coo.31924013476571	What will that unfortunate James do against so many? ” “ I do n't know, I'm sure,"said Augusta, with a sigh.
coo.31924013476571	What will?"
coo.31924013476571	What would the young man be after next?
coo.31924013476571	Where had they gone to?
coo.31924013476571	Where is your wife?"
coo.31924013476571	Where was Lady Holmhurst?
coo.31924013476571	Where was she to go, and what was she to do?
coo.31924013476571	Where was there any linen to write on?
coo.31924013476571	Who can say?
coo.31924013476571	Why not leave England altogether?
coo.31924013476571	Why should he wait till to- morrow morning?
coo.31924013476571	Why should she not go?
coo.31924013476571	Why should you be so frightened about me?
coo.31924013476571	Why, she wondered, had he not come to see her again?
coo.31924013476571	You remem- ber, I was in the office?"
coo.31924013476571	Youth and strength are merry; but who can be merry with yon dead thing in the upper chamber?
coo.31924013476571	and where were the boy and the nurse?
coo.31924013476571	and, if so, is the unsupported story of that lady as to the execution of the document to be believed?
coo.31924013476571	asked Augusta;"who?"
coo.31924013476571	hang modesty- haven't you got some linen on, somewhere or other, that you could spare a bit of?
coo.31924013476571	how can I get it? ” and she buried her head in her hand and thought.
coo.31924013476571	how do you do? ” he said to Augusta, holding out his hand, which she took rather coldly.
coo.31924013476571	posing, for instance, that your young lady is not allowed to give evidence?"
coo.31924013476571	said the captain, “ with a whaler?
coo.31924013476571	she asked;"tear it up?"
coo.31924013476571	snarled his uncle;"you want to pipe down now, do you?
coo.31924013476571	thought Augusta to herself,"how on earth do they all get a living?"
coo.31924013476571	what's the matter? ” answered Eustace, yawning.
coo.31924013476571	why should I not have my own resident solicitor?
coo.31924013476571	you: am I leaving this property or are you?
coo.31924013476571	“ Am I to have this cabin to myself? ” asked Augusta of the steward.
coo.31924013476571	“ And I suppose that that is a conclusion which you do not feel drawn to, Mr. Meeson? ”"No, Tombey, I do n't.
coo.31924013476571	“ And do you mean to tell me,"said Eustace, astounded, “ that you allowed him to have his con- founded will tattooed upon you?"
coo.31924013476571	“ And now, Meeson, I suppose that you have ex- plained to my brother the matter on which you require my advice?"
coo.31924013476571	“ And what have you done with that young man, Mr. Tombey- that very nice young man? ” she added with emphasis.
coo.31924013476571	“ And who appears for the defendants?"
coo.31924013476571	“ And why did you not come in?
coo.31924013476571	“ Are the gentlemen assembled in the hall? ” asked Eustace of him when the remaining documents were.
coo.31924013476571	“ Are you a fool?
coo.31924013476571	“ Are you sure? ” gasped the unfortunate Tombey, for his hopes had been high.
coo.31924013476571	“ But how can you annex Miss Smithers to a'grant of letters of administration,'whatever that may mean? ” said Eustace feebly.
coo.31924013476571	“ Did we did we?
coo.31924013476571	“ Do I understand you, Mr. Meeson, to mean that you quarrelled with your uncle about me and my books?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Do n't you see that I am on tenterhooks? ”.
coo.31924013476571	“ Do you suppose I pay you to come and eat your filthy sandwiches here? ” he asked savagely.
coo.31924013476571	“ Do you think so? ” said Augusta, looking at him very sweetly.
coo.31924013476571	“ Gussie,"said Eustace sleepily,"are you quite happy?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Has he gone?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Have you got your revolver? ” “ Yes. ”"Well, then, keep it handy; you may have to use it presently; they will try and rush the boats."
coo.31924013476571	“ Here is the agreement, ” he said; “ let me see?
coo.31924013476571	“ How are you going to write a will without pen or pencil, paper or ink? ” Mr. Meeson sank back with a groan.
coo.31924013476571	“ How did you find the house, Mr. Meeson? ” said Lady Holmhurst, at last.
coo.31924013476571	“ How did you know that we were coming? ” Eustace told her that he had seen it in the Globe.
coo.31924013476571	“ How do you do, my dear sir?
coo.31924013476571	“ How do, uncle? ” he said to the Commercial Terror, who was sitting there behind his formidable books, AUGUSTA AND HER PUBLISHER.
coo.31924013476571	“ I came, Mr. Meeson — I came about my book. ” “ Your book, Miss Smithers?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Inspection of the document- inspection of the document! ” gasped the astonished Doctor;"how am I to inspect the document?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Is Mr. Todd in? ” he said to the managing clerk, who came forward bowing obsequiously to the richest man in Birmingham.
coo.31924013476571	“ Is there no hope for me?
coo.31924013476571	“ It does n't seem quite fair, does it?
coo.31924013476571	“ None whatever. ” “ Did you submit to this tattooing, which must have been painful, with a view of becoming engaged to the plaintiff?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Now is he, Miss? ” he said, with a hiccough;"is he?
coo.31924013476571	“ Now is he, Miss? ” he said, with a hiccough;"is he?
coo.31924013476571	“ Now then, which is it to be? ” he said.
coo.31924013476571	“ Now what do you want, you silly boy? ” “ I want to know if you will marry me next week. ” “ Next week?
coo.31924013476571	“ Now what do you want, you silly boy? ” “ I want to know if you will marry me next week. ” “ Next week?
coo.31924013476571	“ Now, Mr. Meeson, do you see how you can make your will?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Oh, Augusta, Augusta, ” he said, “ do n't you under- stand?
coo.31924013476571	“ On the legal ground that the greater the truth, the greater the libel, I presume?"
coo.31924013476571	“ P.S.--An immediate reply will oblige, ” “ Well, Meeson, what do you say to that?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Perhaps I had better put my ques- tion in this way- Had you, at that time, any prospect of becoming engaged to Mr. Meeson?"
coo.31924013476571	“ See?
coo.31924013476571	“ She went from here two days ago, and was going on to the ship in Lon- don. ” “ What was the name of the ship? ” he asks, in despair.
coo.31924013476571	“ Short, my Lord. ” “ Do you appear alone for the plaintiff, Mr. Short? ” asked the Judge, with emphasis.
coo.31924013476571	“ So I understood, ” said James;"but what will, and where is it?"
coo.31924013476571	“ To sleep! ” he moaned;"how can I sleep?
coo.31924013476571	“ Well! ” she said sharply, for she was busy with her scheme;"what is it?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Well, has Miss Smithers got the will?
coo.31924013476571	“ Well, what can I do for you?
coo.31924013476571	“ Well, ” said Augusta at length, “ it seems that's the only thing to be done; but the question is, how to do it?
coo.31924013476571	“ What are your terms? ” asked James.
coo.31924013476571	“ What did you say, young man? ” he said at last, in a cold, hard voice.
coo.31924013476571	“ What do you mean by bringing me a thing like this? ” he said;"it's all wrong."
coo.31924013476571	“ What is it, Eustace?"
coo.31924013476571	“ What shall I do with it?"
coo.31924013476571	“ What you are going to do about the will? ” sug- gested Augusta.
coo.31924013476571	“ What, do you dare to contradict me?"
coo.31924013476571	“ What? ” gasped Eustace, as a vision of Augusta SHORT ON LEGAL ETIQUETTE.
coo.31924013476571	“ What??"
coo.31924013476571	“ What??"
coo.31924013476571	“ Where are you to be found? ” he had the presence of mind to ask.
coo.31924013476571	“ Where is it?
coo.31924013476571	“ Who did it, Mr. Bill? ” asked Augusta.
coo.31924013476571	“ Who did it?
coo.31924013476571	“ Who is it?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Who on earth are they all?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Who?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Who?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Why, do you mean to quite cut out your nephew — and the other legatees? ” he added, by way of an afterthought.
coo.31924013476571	“ Why, what's up?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Why?
coo.31924013476571	“ Why? ” said Augusta.
coo.31924013476571	“ Why?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Will Mummy soon come in a boat to take Dick away y? ” asked the child at her side; and then she burst into tears.
coo.31924013476571	“ Will you tell me what you wanted it so much for?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Wo n't you come into the drawing- room?"
coo.31924013476571	“ Wo n't you have a cup of tea?
coo.31924013476571	“ Would it?
coo.31924013476571	“ Yes, Mr. Tombey,"answered Augusta quietly; “ what is it?"
hvd.32044022659775	-- “ Grocer? ” she queried.
hvd.32044022659775	And I think you're just in time. ” “ Are they due to- night? ” Dickson asked in an excited whisper, faint against the wind.
hvd.32044022659775	And supposing the lady became violent? ” “ Oh, there's no fear of that.
hvd.32044022659775	And will you undertake to get it some way into the House? ” “ There's just the one road open — by the rocks.
hvd.32044022659775	Any use for poetry? ” OF MR. JOHN HERITAGE 39 “ Plenty, ” said Dickson.
hvd.32044022659775	Are the jools safe? ” SUNDRY DOINGS IN THE MIRK 151 “ Safe in the bank.
hvd.32044022659775	Are ye better, Jaikie? ” “ Ay, I'm better, ” said a pallid midge.
hvd.32044022659775	Are ye for it? ” 180 HUNTINGTOWER “ Yes, ” said Heritage.
hvd.32044022659775	Are ye ready? ” Five minutes later Dickson found himself gasp- ing in the lee of a boulder, while Dougal was making a cast forward.
hvd.32044022659775	Because Thomas Yownie heard Dobson say to Lean at the scullery door, ‘ Have ye got the dope?'
hvd.32044022659775	Burglary in the company of a queer poet and a queerer urchin?
hvd.32044022659775	But that's a'bye wi'. ” “ Quentin Kennedy — the fellow in the Tins? ” Heritage asked.
hvd.32044022659775	But they tell me he's a quieter lad since the war, and sair lamed by fa'in oot o'an airyplane. ” “ Will he be at the Mains just now? ”.
hvd.32044022659775	But was it folly?
hvd.32044022659775	But what could Dobson do if he re- fused?
hvd.32044022659775	But what in the name of goodness do you know about working- men?
hvd.32044022659775	But what's come to Mr. Heritage? ” Dickson to his shame had forgotten all about his friend.
hvd.32044022659775	But why should I tell you?
hvd.32044022659775	CHILDE ROLAND AND ANOTHER 55 “ Can we stop here for the night?"
hvd.32044022659775	Can you laddies manage to get it down here? ” Dougal reflected.
hvd.32044022659775	Can you no'manage to put with us for the one night?
hvd.32044022659775	Consequently I'm not as fast on my legs now as I'd like to be. ” “ You were a friend of Captain Kennedy? ” “ His oldest.
hvd.32044022659775	D'ye understand?
hvd.32044022659775	D'you hear? ” “ I will that. ” To his own surprise Dickson spoke without hesitation.
hvd.32044022659775	D'you mind if I ask a question, Prin- cess?
hvd.32044022659775	D'you see what that means?
hvd.32044022659775	D'you understand? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.32044022659775	Did ye ken that the lassie had a pistol?
hvd.32044022659775	Do you breed many like him in Glasgow? ” “ Plenty, ” said Dickson sourly.
hvd.32044022659775	Do you doubt now? ” He could only stare, for these shapes arriving and vanishing like wisps of fog still seemed to him phantasmal.
hvd.32044022659775	Do you dream about it? ” “ Not exactly. ” “ Well, I do.
hvd.32044022659775	Do you under- stand? ” “ Perfectly, ” said Dickson with some fervour.
hvd.32044022659775	Does the man think he's a laird to refuse folk that gait? ” “ He said he had illness in the house. ” Mrs. Morran meditated.
hvd.32044022659775	Dougal, what's the weather? ” The Chieftain swung open the door, and sniffed the air.
hvd.32044022659775	Ever been in love, Dog- son? ”- Mr. McCunn was startled.
hvd.32044022659775	GRAVITY OUT OF BED 219 “ Are ye sure it's the richt man, Ecky? ” said a voice which he did not hear.
hvd.32044022659775	Had you many casualties? ” “ We're a'a wee thing battered, but nothing to hurt.
hvd.32044022659775	Has Spittal been round here? ” “ Half an hour ago, ” said Heritage, consulting a wrist watch.
hvd.32044022659775	Has the auld yin got his wind yet?
hvd.32044022659775	Have you got that?
hvd.32044022659775	He was ashamed and angry, but what else was there to do?
hvd.32044022659775	Here we were welcomed indeed, but by an enemy. ” “ Which? ” asked Heritage.
hvd.32044022659775	Heritage answered, “ From Auchenlochan, I sup- pose?
hvd.32044022659775	How could he escape the notice of the watchers?
hvd.32044022659775	How did you hear about it? ” “ I was taking a bit holiday and I spent a night at Dalquharter with an old auntie of mine.
hvd.32044022659775	How do I ken, says you?
hvd.32044022659775	How on earth could he climb that?
hvd.32044022659775	I believe there's time enough, for I do n't see the brig arriving in broad daylight. ” “ D'you not? ” Dickson asked rudely.
hvd.32044022659775	I have grown very skilful in hiding things. ” “ Have they searched for them? ” “ The first day they demanded them of me.
hvd.32044022659775	I hope you've had a pleasant holiday, sir? ” “ Very pleasant.
hvd.32044022659775	I remember we struck the brand first in July'18. ” “ Are they rounded up? ” Sir Archie asked.
hvd.32044022659775	I say, Princess, you do n't suppose by any chance that Mc- Cunn's a little bit wrong in the head? ”- She turned her candid eyes on him.
hvd.32044022659775	I thought ye were off the day? ” Dickson rose nobly to the occasion.
hvd.32044022659775	I'll go the first thing in the morning. ” “ Where are they? ” Heritage asked.
hvd.32044022659775	If you've nothing to hide what way are you so touchy?
hvd.32044022659775	Is it there still? ” The attendant glanced at a shelf.
hvd.32044022659775	Is it true? ” Dickson looked sly and a little annoyed.
hvd.32044022659775	Is that all clear in your head?
hvd.32044022659775	Is that so, Mem? ” Sir Archie looked helplessly around him, and the sight of the girl's face convinced him that argument would be fruitless.
hvd.32044022659775	Is the leg very bad? ” He laughed.
hvd.32044022659775	Is there any chance, think you, of a bed here? ” “ I ’ll no tell ye a lee, ” said the woman.
hvd.32044022659775	It is altogether needful that I wait for him. ” “ Then there is something more which you have n't told us? ” Heritage asked.
hvd.32044022659775	Loudon will have a score against me he wo n't forget. ” “ Ye're no ’ weakenin'? ” asked Dougal fiercely.
hvd.32044022659775	Man, Dougal, is n't it a queer thing that whiles law- abiding folk have to make their own laws?
hvd.32044022659775	No?
hvd.32044022659775	Now, is n't it a mercy we're safe in here? ” Dickson returned to the others with a grave face.
hvd.32044022659775	Now, what can I do for you? ” “ I ’m very proud to hear what you say, Sir Archibald.
hvd.32044022659775	Now, would it not be a far better plan if ye went back to Glasgow and came back in a week's time?
hvd.32044022659775	Odd, is n't it? ” Mr. McCunn was deeply interested at this un- expected revelation of romance.
hvd.32044022659775	Or Claverhouse in the picture with the flush of temper on his cheek?
hvd.32044022659775	Or young Harry with his beaver up?
hvd.32044022659775	Sinn Fein? ” The innkeeper nodded.
hvd.32044022659775	Some day for my own sake I may be a poet. ” “ Have you published anything? ” The eager admiration in Dickson's tone gratified Mr. Heritage.
hvd.32044022659775	That's one. ” “ What does the last word mean? ” “ I do n't ken.
hvd.32044022659775	The jewels had been safely got rid of, and who was to dispute their possession?
hvd.32044022659775	The jewels?
hvd.32044022659775	The question is, Are ye comin'with me?
hvd.32044022659775	The tinklers warned Dobson and soon it'll be a'bye wi'Heritage. ” “ The Princess is not there? ” was Dickson's anxious inquiry.
hvd.32044022659775	Then more clearly: “ Where am I?
hvd.32044022659775	These jewels — are they here? ” His tone was so sharp that she looked startled — almost suspicious.
hvd.32044022659775	They'll no ’ be long over the job, neither. ” “ What about Mr. Heritage? ” “ They're no'heedin'about him any more.
hvd.32044022659775	Was ever a man more fortunate or more free?
hvd.32044022659775	Was the insane venture off?
hvd.32044022659775	Was there the faintest shadow of a blush on her cheek?
hvd.32044022659775	We'll tie him up in the wud till we've time to attend to him. ” “ Is he bad? ”- “ It doesna maitter, ” said the one called Ecky.
hvd.32044022659775	What about this day week? ” “ I was thinking of to- morrow.
hvd.32044022659775	What about your oil- cake? ” “ I ’ve changed my mind, ” was the gruff answer.
hvd.32044022659775	What are ye slinkin ’ roond here for, when I tell't ye this mornin'that I wad sell ye nae mair scones till ye paid for the last lot?
hvd.32044022659775	What brings ye back here?
hvd.32044022659775	What business had he to be mixing himself up in things he did not understand?
hvd.32044022659775	What could that be?
hvd.32044022659775	What day would suit you?
hvd.32044022659775	What do you think, Princess? ” “ I think we are in for what you call a shindy.
hvd.32044022659775	What for wad they no ’ tak ’ ye in?
hvd.32044022659775	What had become of that innocent joviality he had dreamed of, that happy morning pilgrimage of Spring en- livened by tags from the poets?
hvd.32044022659775	What in Heaven's name had he undertaken?
hvd.32044022659775	What in heaven is that? ” It was McGuffog whose great bellow resounded down the corridor.
hvd.32044022659775	What on earth were his rifles and shot- guns for unless to be used?
hvd.32044022659775	What shall we talk about? ” The young man did not answer at once, for his gaze was held by her face.
hvd.32044022659775	What was it? ” “ It was me, ” said Dickson.
hvd.32044022659775	What was to become of that child if he failed her in her great need?
hvd.32044022659775	What would Saskia and Dougal and Sir Archie do without a business man by their side?
hvd.32044022659775	What would the police say? ” “ They never troubled Dalquharter muckle.
hvd.32044022659775	What'll we dae wi'them? ” he shouted; and back would come the reply in a slightly more genteel voice: “ Fall them to the rear.
hvd.32044022659775	What's in your weekist?
hvd.32044022659775	What's that they call it?
hvd.32044022659775	What's that ye ca ’ them — Lean and Spittal?
hvd.32044022659775	What's that ye say?
hvd.32044022659775	What's the orders? ” and the answer would be: “ Stick to your batons.
hvd.32044022659775	What's the time? ” He lifted Heritage's wrist and saw from his watch that it was half- past three.
hvd.32044022659775	When did you expect Prince — your friend? ” “ I hoped to find him here before me.
hvd.32044022659775	When's high water? ” Dougal answered that to the best of his knowl- edge it fell between four and five in the afternoon.
hvd.32044022659775	Where in the name of all that was holy were the police?
hvd.32044022659775	Where on earth were Dickson and the Princess?
hvd.32044022659775	Where should I be safe if not in my own Russia, where I have friends — oh, so many, and tribes and tribes of relations?
hvd.32044022659775	Whereabouts, may I ask? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.32044022659775	Who would sus- pect, they said, a foolish girl?
hvd.32044022659775	Why did n't they do it between here and Auchenlochan?
hvd.32044022659775	Why did they let you come here where you were in a better posi- tion to baffle them? ” She shook her head.
hvd.32044022659775	Why should he not spend a night there, for the map showed clearly that Dalquharter had an inn?
hvd.32044022659775	Why should n't the House remain empty?
hvd.32044022659775	Why should we keep them out?
hvd.32044022659775	Will ye gang back and sit doun aside Mrs. Morran's fire and have your tea and wait till we come for ye?
hvd.32044022659775	Will ye keep out of this business?
hvd.32044022659775	Will you tell my men where to find your baggage? ” The reply was in Russian.
hvd.32044022659775	Would Dobson refer to that?
hvd.32044022659775	Ye ken the auld ane, says you?
hvd.32044022659775	Ye speir whae bides in the Hoose?
hvd.32044022659775	Ye want to speak to the gentlemen that's bidin'here?
hvd.32044022659775	Ye're a dacent body, but ye're no'the kind to be traivellin'the roads. ” “ And if you were me? ” Heritage asked with his queer crooked smile.
hvd.32044022659775	Ye're no ’ wantin'meat?
hvd.32044022659775	You have them with you? ” She nodded.
hvd.32044022659775	You trust us, Mademoiselle? ” “ I trust you, for you are a soldier.
hvd.32044022659775	You'll have been educated like a'gentleman? ” 44 HUNTINGTOWER “ Nine wasted years — five at Harrow, four at Cambridge. ” “ See here, then.
hvd.32044022659775	You'll join me?
hvd.32044022659775	You've all got whistles?
hvd.32044022659775	You've maybe heard of it? ” The other bowed and smiled.
hvd.32044022659775	he was fierce. ” “ They're beaten off for the night, anyway? ” “ Ay, for the night.
hvd.32044022659775	much of the Irish. ” “ Then ye'll take my advice and go home?
hvd.32044022659775	“ And what kind o'place is yon for her?
hvd.32044022659775	“ And where were you? ” “ Seven feet from your head, up a tree.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Are you travelling to- day? ” he asked the inn- keeper.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Ay, and he's a poet too. ” “ So? ” she said.
hvd.32044022659775	“ But have you not seen him?
hvd.32044022659775	“ But what about our meat? ” 152 HUNTINGTOWER “ We must lay in provisions.
hvd.32044022659775	“ But why put ourselves in their power at all?
hvd.32044022659775	“ D'ye ken his wife's name? ” she gasped.
hvd.32044022659775	“ D'ye think we're gowks?
hvd.32044022659775	“ D'you mind the man you said was an Australian — at Kirkmichael?
hvd.32044022659775	“ Did you maybe steal them? ” Dickson grinned.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Dobson or Lean or Spittal? ” “ Dobson I do not know.
hvd.32044022659775	“ God be thankit, is't the polis? ” “ Maybe.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Have you considered what day this is?
hvd.32044022659775	“ How are you, Dougal? ” Dickson asked genially.
hvd.32044022659775	“ How d'you know? ” “ Ca n't mistake them.
hvd.32044022659775	“ However will you get home, mistress? ” he mur- mured anxiously.
hvd.32044022659775	“ I seen them from a spy- hole I made out o'a ventilator. ” “ Is it barricaded? ” asked Heritage, who had apparently not been asleep.
hvd.32044022659775	“ I was shootin'at the factor. ” “ Did ye hit him? ” “ I think so, but I'm sorry to say not badly.
hvd.32044022659775	“ I ’m not caring what kind it is, so long as it is a good one and not too big. ” “ For yourself? ” the gunmaker asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Interesting? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Is that you, Dobson? ” a voice asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Is the peace of nature smoothing out the creases in your poor little soul? ” “ What's that ye say? ” 164 HUNTINGTOWER he would n't listen.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Is the peace of nature smoothing out the creases in your poor little soul? ” “ What's that ye say? ” 164 HUNTINGTOWER he would n't listen.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Is there nowhere else we can put up? ” Dickson asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Keep us, what's that? ” she cried.
hvd.32044022659775	“ May we walk up to the House? ” Heritage asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Oh, world, where all things change and nought abides, Oh, life, the long mutation — is it so?
hvd.32044022659775	“ Something like that. ” “ Did you ever hear the like?
hvd.32044022659775	“ There should be a muckle star there, and when you ca n't see it it means wet weather wi'this wind. ” “ What star? ” Dickson asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Was that you I heard crying on me, when we were running for the train? ” “ Ay.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Well, what's your news? ” Dickson asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Well? ” said the poet.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Wha wad ettle to see ye on a day like this?
hvd.32044022659775	“ Whae in the world can be lyin'there?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What about him? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What about that House?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What about yourself?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What ailed you then no'to look after her better? ” “ We have been long separated, because it was her will.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What are ye doing back here? ”- “ To tell the truth, Dougal, ” was the answer, “ I could n't stay away.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What are you thinking about? ” she asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What brings you wandering hereaways? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What d'ye make o'that?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What d'ye say, Mr. McCunn? ” “ Flit, of course, but further than the old Tower.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What have you found out?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What is it you're expecting?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What sort?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What the hell d'ye mean? ” he cried.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What would you do if you were us? ” Dick- son's tone was subtly confidential.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What'll I call them? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What'll you take to let me go? ” he asked plaintively.
hvd.32044022659775	“ What's become of my pack?
hvd.32044022659775	“ What's the news? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Whaur's your freend? ” she asked, peering over her spectacles towards the garden gate.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Where are ye for the day? ” “ Auchenlochan, ” said Dickson hastily.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Where d'you think the new folk are coming from? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Where's Dobson? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who bides in the Big House? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who goes there? ” “ What's that you say? ” “ Who goes there? ” The point of a pole was held firmly against his chest.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who goes there? ” “ What's that you say? ” “ Who goes there? ” The point of a pole was held firmly against his chest.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who goes there? ” “ What's that you say? ” “ Who goes there? ” The point of a pole was held firmly against his chest.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who has n't?
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who is it? ” cried the voice.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Who's at the kitchen door? ” “ Peter Paterson.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Why was I tethered to sich a conscience? ” was his moan.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Will I be going to turn into a useless old man? ” he asked himself.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Will ye listen to sense and fall to the rear? ” “ I will not, ” she said.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Wull I gie them a shot? ” was McGuffog's hoarse inquiry.
hvd.32044022659775	“ Ye wee pot- bellied, pig- heided Glasgow grocer, ”( I paraphrase), “ would you set up to defy me?
hvd.32044022659775	“ Ye're a spy, are ye?
hvd.32044022659775	“ You are a soldier? ” she asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ You heard a girl's voice singing? ” “ It sounded like that, ” was the admission.
hvd.32044022659775	“ You heard the singing? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ You like reading? ” he asked.
hvd.32044022659775	“ You will hold the house? ” she asked.
hvd.32044009716754	. ” “ Therefore you are willing to help the enemy to win? ” “ They have already won.
hvd.32044009716754	. ” “ What about Clarence? ” asked Blenkiron.
hvd.32044009716754	. ” “ What was the case called? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	119 120 MR. STANDFAST “ How did you get here? ” He swung himself up beside me, straightened his back and unbuckled his knapsack.
hvd.32044009716754	A sort of moral anodyne. ” “ I wonder what on earth the rest of your lot make of you? ” “ They do n't make anything.
hvd.32044009716754	ADVENTURES OF A BAGMAN 137 “ Have ye nothing in your samples ye could give me to read? ” I had forgotten about the samples.
hvd.32044009716754	And how to get there?
hvd.32044009716754	And there's the iron mines at Ranna. ” 90 MR. STANDFAST “ Where ’s that? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	And what do you make of that? ” I pointed to a flat rock below tide- mark covered with a tangle of seaweed.
hvd.32044009716754	And you, Dick? ” “ Oh, I rejoin my division.
hvd.32044009716754	And your buits?
hvd.32044009716754	Any chance of your company? ” “ Why, yes — that's my train.
hvd.32044009716754	Are any good cargoes waiting in your neighbourhood?
hvd.32044009716754	Are they goin'to shut up Port Sunlight?
hvd.32044009716754	Are we free and independent peoples going to endure that much?
hvd.32044009716754	Are you game? ” “ Right you are.
hvd.32044009716754	Are you willing to trust me? ” “ With all my heart, ” I said.
hvd.32044009716754	Beer for you, Andra?
hvd.32044009716754	Brand's your name? ” he asked in his gusty voice.
hvd.32044009716754	Brand, is n't it? ” she asked with a pretty hesitation.
hvd.32044009716754	Brand?
hvd.32044009716754	Brand?
hvd.32044009716754	Brand?
hvd.32044009716754	Brand? ” I admitted I had, for I had been well coached by Blen- kiron in the current history of industrial disputes.
hvd.32044009716754	Brand? ” Mr. Norie had obviously pinned his colours to the fence, but he gave me the chance I had been looking for.
hvd.32044009716754	Brand? ” “ Back to Glasgow to do some work for the cause, ” I said lightly.
hvd.32044009716754	But after all how much ill can he do?
hvd.32044009716754	But have you any other way, Dick?
hvd.32044009716754	But it's a wearing job and I've better things to think about. ” “ So?
hvd.32044009716754	But what price my commandant?
hvd.32044009716754	But who were Chelius and Bommaerts, and what in the name of goodness were the Wild Birds and the Cage Birds?
hvd.32044009716754	But why should Peter be mentioned when he was n't on in this piece?
hvd.32044009716754	By the way, Hannay, what are you going to do with me? ” “ You ’re coming on my staff.
hvd.32044009716754	By the way, I havena got your name? ” I told him and he rambled on.
hvd.32044009716754	By the way, how d'ye square this business of yours wi'the booksellers?
hvd.32044009716754	By the way, where is Mary? ” “ She came in five minutes ago and I sent her to change, ” said Miss Claire.
hvd.32044009716754	Could I trouble you to send a telegram?
hvd.32044009716754	Could ye not look a bit more sheepish?
hvd.32044009716754	D'ye no agree, sir?
hvd.32044009716754	D'you see any light? ” “ Ivery, ” I gasped.
hvd.32044009716754	Did you ever hear of the Graf von Schwabing? ” I shook my head.
hvd.32044009716754	Did you ever see a cat with a mouse?
hvd.32044009716754	Did you never hear of a man bor- rowin'another name?
hvd.32044009716754	Do n't you, sir?
hvd.32044009716754	Do you mean to tell me that, when the stakes are so big, you're going to chuck in your hand? ” Macgillivray raised his head.
hvd.32044009716754	Do you remember the hall in Newmilns Street and the meeting there?
hvd.32044009716754	Does it not appeal to your sense of justice? ” He groaned and turned away.
hvd.32044009716754	Does that pene- trate your thick skull?
hvd.32044009716754	Donne? ” I whispered back.
hvd.32044009716754	Efficient body of men the Scottish police. ” “ Especially when they have various enthusiastic amateur helpers. ” “ So? ” he said.
hvd.32044009716754	Has old Blenkiron had any luck? ” “ Your guess about the “ Deep- breathing'advertisement was very clever, Dick.
hvd.32044009716754	Have you any papers to prove it? ” “ Why, no.
hvd.32044009716754	Have you issued instructions? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044009716754	Have you spotted the cave?
hvd.32044009716754	He's hooked and we're playing him, but Lord knows if he'll ever be landed! ” “ Why on earth do n't you put him away? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	Heaven knows how he managed it, but he disappeared clean out of the world. ” “ The plump one who lisped in his speech? ” Macgillivray nodded.
hvd.32044009716754	His jaw dropped, “ What are you going to do with me? ” he quavered.
hvd.32044009716754	How are you going to find him?
hvd.32044009716754	How had he escaped the death of a spy and a murderer, for I had last seen him in the hands of justice?
hvd.32044009716754	How much do you know? ” The hammer was going hard in my forehead, and I had to pull myself together to answer.
hvd.32044009716754	How's that for a holiday trek? ” He gave the scheme his approval.
hvd.32044009716754	How? ” “ It is easy, ” he said, smiling.
hvd.32044009716754	I am not afraid of death — in my own way. ” “ Few people are afraid of death — in their own way. ” “ Why do you degrade me?
hvd.32044009716754	I might be of some use there, do n't you think? ” I remember the way she laughed and flung back her head like a gallant boy.
hvd.32044009716754	I'm a rancid individualist. ” 252 MR. STANDFAST “ But you must be feeling better about the war? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	I'm no soldier, but that's so, Dick? ” The Frenchman smiled and shook his head.
hvd.32044009716754	If I had n't whistled I would have cried. ” “ But why alone and at this hour? ” “ I could n't get off in the day.
hvd.32044009716754	Is it to be the pen or the pencil P Or perhaps it is music?
hvd.32044009716754	Is that correct? ” “ Perfectly. ”- “ You have been restless all evening looking for the mes- senger to give you these instructions.
hvd.32044009716754	It all comes of a defective eddication. ” “ And what does a Border radical say about the war? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	It was so?
hvd.32044009716754	It was us — me and Sir Walter and Mr. Macgillivray that were the quitters. ” “ Any news? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	My business is to do as I am told. ” “ Coming to dine? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	Odd, is n't it, for people who preach brotherly love?
hvd.32044009716754	Or good clothes?
hvd.32044009716754	Or lum hats?
hvd.32044009716754	Remember they've heard tell o'ye already, and ye've some sort o'reputation to keep up. ” “ Will Mr. Abel Gresson be here? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	Say, you're not hurt?
hvd.32044009716754	So I had to shoot. ” “ Dead? ” asked Ivery sharply.
hvd.32044009716754	So?
hvd.32044009716754	Sort of camouflage?
hvd.32044009716754	Supposin ’ some Labour Government takes the notion that soap's bad for the nation?
hvd.32044009716754	THE WALLEY OF HUMILLATION 181 Tell me, is there still a worst?
hvd.32044009716754	That's so, Colonel? ” The soldier nodded grimly.
hvd.32044009716754	They tell me English women do not cook and make clothes like our vrouws, so what will she find to do?
hvd.32044009716754	They're the birds in the cage, the — what is it your friend called them? ” “ Die Stubenvögel, ” I said.
hvd.32044009716754	This may be a long job, so buy plenty. ” “ Whaur'il I put them? ” was his only question.
hvd.32044009716754	Wass you seeking the road to anywhere? ” “ I was seeking a night's lodging, ” I said.
hvd.32044009716754	We've got to get back by the Staub. ” “ How did you come? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	What are you doing, Hannay?
hvd.32044009716754	What can we do for you? ” “ I want to get to London without any questions asked.
hvd.32044009716754	What d'you make of the situation, Dick? ” “ I think it's the worst since First Ypres, ” I said.
hvd.32044009716754	What do ye say to that, my man? ” Mr. Amos shook his head.
hvd.32044009716754	What do you reckon that means?
hvd.32044009716754	What do you say to that? ” This time he looked me full in the face.
hvd.32044009716754	What do you say? ”*.
hvd.32044009716754	What for should the big man double his profits and the small man be ill set to get his ham and egg on Sabbath mornin'?
hvd.32044009716754	What if he were in the employ of our own Secret Service?
hvd.32044009716754	What kind of enemy is that to have to fight? ” “ I admit it's a steep proposition.
hvd.32044009716754	What the devil are we to do? ” And then to put the lid on it his engine went wrong.
hvd.32044009716754	What was ye wantin'with him? ” I charged through the booking- office and found my man about to enter a big grey motor- car.
hvd.32044009716754	What was your forecast to me?
hvd.32044009716754	What's dooty, if you wo n't carry it to the other side of hell?
hvd.32044009716754	What's the first step? ” “ Get out of uniform and forget you ever were a soldier.
hvd.32044009716754	What's the good of mean- ing to win the war if you do n't put every cent you ’ve got on your stake?
hvd.32044009716754	What's the limit of mischief he can do? ” Sir Walter had risen and joined Blenkiron on the hearth- rug.
hvd.32044009716754	What's the move? ” “ The Wild Birds must n't ever go home, and the man they call Ivery or Bommaerts or Chelius has to decease.
hvd.32044009716754	What's the use of yapping about your country if you're going to keep any- thing back when she calls for it?
hvd.32044009716754	What's your line, Mr. McCaskie? ” When he heard he was keenly interested.
hvd.32044009716754	What's your name, sir? ” I did not reply in a colonial accent, but with the hauteur of the British officer when stopped by a French sentry.
hvd.32044009716754	What's your name?
hvd.32044009716754	When can the French take over? ” I was told that it had been arranged for next morning, but that it had now been put off twenty- four hours.
hvd.32044009716754	When had the Corps said that the French would arrive?
hvd.32044009716754	Where are you? ” But no answer came.
hvd.32044009716754	Where, I wondered, would we be by that time?
hvd.32044009716754	Which part of it do you put top? ” “ All of it's good.
hvd.32044009716754	Who are you? ” And then recognition crept into his face and he gave a joyous shout.
hvd.32044009716754	Who was the man?
hvd.32044009716754	Who was the man? ” He looked as if he wanted to throttle me.
hvd.32044009716754	Who's the poet among us? ” “ Peter, ” I said.
hvd.32044009716754	Why are you so calm, Hannay?
hvd.32044009716754	Why had an easy pass after a moderate snowfall been suddenly closed?
hvd.32044009716754	Why had these tree- trunks been spilt on the road?
hvd.32044009716754	Why in hell do we ever get messed up in those stone and lime cages?
hvd.32044009716754	Why this pessimism? ” 174 MR. STANDFAST “ Only that I know our gentleman better than you.
hvd.32044009716754	Will you let us judge for you? ” I looked at Bullivant's shrewd, kind old face and Mac- gillivray's steady eyes.
hvd.32044009716754	Ye ken the folk?
hvd.32044009716754	Ye ken the psalm o'the crofter?
hvd.32044009716754	You are in revolt against this crazy war? ” “ Why, yes, ” I said, remembering my part.
hvd.32044009716754	You do n't believe me and conclude I was drunk?
hvd.32044009716754	You do n't keep your weight long in this war. ” “ Say, Dick, ” he said shyly, “ what do you truly think of our Americans?
hvd.32044009716754	You remember, Giuseppe? ” But in the end they let me move on.
hvd.32044009716754	You will find it in the Weser Zeitung. ” “ You do n't say? ” he said admiringly.
hvd.32044009716754	You're sure you did n't hit against any heavier metal? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044009716754	You've some pretty solid staff work to put in before you get on the trail. ” “ And you? ” Sir Walter asked.
hvd.32044009716754	and come out with a commis- sion?
hvd.32044009716754	him. ” “ But Gresson does not suspect me? ” “ Maybe no.
hvd.32044009716754	man, what have ye done to your breeks?
hvd.32044009716754	“ And you ca n't tell me anything more? ” “ Nothing as yet.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Any message for your other friends? ”.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Are you from Dumfries, sir? ” “ Not just from Dumfries, but I know the Borders fine. ” “ Ye'll no beat them, ” she cried.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Been seein ’ a bit of life, sir? ” he inquired respectfully.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Beg pardon, sir, but you ai n't hurt, sir? ” Ten minutes later I was having tea in the mess of an.
hvd.32044009716754	“ But what are you going to do? ” asked Macgillivray.
hvd.32044009716754	“ D'ye say so?
hvd.32044009716754	“ D'you mean to tell me we're going to lose Peronne? ” “ Peronne! ” he cried.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Did you get my message? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Do n’t you realise the explosive stuff that is lying about?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Do the English torture their prisoners? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Do we know more about him than we knew in the summer?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Do you remember me now 2 ”- He did as he was bid. ”- “ Sirr, I mind of you. ” “ Have you nothing more to say? ” He cleared his throat.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Donne, ” I said, as loud as I dared, “ are you hurt?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Fea- turing Mary Lamington. ” How does the jargon go? ” “ I could have got him when he first entered, ” I said ruefully.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Gone? ” asked Blenkiron sharply.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Great Scott, Wake, what brought you here? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Has Barnard announced dinner?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Have we good reserves? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How can I tell that you are the right person for me to speak to?
hvd.32044009716754	“ How can you know a mind which has no characteristics except that it is wholly 184- MR. STANDFAST and supremely competent?
hvd.32044009716754	“ How did you find out that? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How did you know? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How goes it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How long will the damned thing last? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How many? ” “ Five, ” said Archie.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How old is the man? ” “ Just gone thirty- six, ” Blenkiron replied.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How on earth can I like it? ” he cried angrily.
hvd.32044009716754	“ How the devil am I to be satisfied about that?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Hullo, Wake, are you in this push too? ” “ I suppose so, ” he said, and his manner was not cordial.
hvd.32044009716754	“ If it were n't, do you sup- pose we could have wrung an active brigadier out of the War Office?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Is Mary in it? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Macgillivray, ” I said, “ is that you?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Mary, my dear, how did you manage it?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Much of that sort of thing? ” “ Now and then.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Nobody else? ” I reflected.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Right, mister? ” came a whisper from behind.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Say, mate, ” I said, “ do n’t you feel inclined to do a poor fellow a good turn?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Say, ” I heard a rich Middle West voice whisper, “ are you Joseph Zimmer?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Shall I see you again? ” “ Soon, and often, ” was the answer.
hvd.32044009716754	“ That?
hvd.32044009716754	“ To Germany?
hvd.32044009716754	“ We change at Muirtown, do n't we? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Were you ever a cinema actor, Dick?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Whae's that i'the corner? ” he cried, leaving the bar to stare at me.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What about my old lot? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What are you going to do with me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What d'ye make o'this, Mr. McCaskie?
hvd.32044009716754	“ What d'you think of that bunch? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What d'you want to say to the bloke with the long name? ” “ Say that Richard Hannay is detained at the A.P.M.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What do you mean?
hvd.32044009716754	“ What is he — international socialist, or anarchist, or what? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What kind of watch have you?
hvd.32044009716754	“ What's a kilometre, Mr. McCaskie? ” he asked blandly.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What's that the auld man in the Bible said?
hvd.32044009716754	“ What's this place? ” I shouted.
hvd.32044009716754	“ What's your fancy, Jock?
hvd.32044009716754	“ When does the train for the south leave? ” He consulted a pocket time- table.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Where do you go now? ” I was asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Who and what are you — living in that house in that kind of company? ” “ My good aunts! ” She laughed softly.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Who is our Faithful? ” I asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ Why do I tell you these things?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Wull ye say a'that over again the morn's night down at our hall in Newmilns Street?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Ye'll no eat onything?
hvd.32044009716754	“ Ye're acquaint with Mr. Gresson, then? ” said the cap- tain.
hvd.32044009716754	“ You are one of us?
hvd.32044009716754	“ You do n't like it? ” I said, for I guessed what he meant.
hvd.32044009716754	“ You have heard of the Untergrundbahn 7 No?
hvd.32044009716754	“ You have seen the orders? ” I nodded.
hvd.32044009716754	“ You will haf come from Achranich way, maybe? ” he said in his soft sing- song, having at last found his breath.
hvd.32044009716754	“ You ’ll have a passport? ” he asked.
hvd.32044009716754	“ You ’re satis- fied this is n't a whimsey of a melodramatic old Yank?
hvd.32044009716754	“ ’ Oo d'ye want to talk to? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020090429	And get overheard and run in for our pains? hvd.32044020090429 And is that all he does for a living? ” pursued my inquisitor keenly.
hvd.32044020090429	And then? ” “ Sufficient for the night, Bunny! hvd.32044020090429 And where do you make that?
hvd.32044020090429	And where,I asked,"did you think I first went wrong?"
hvd.32044020090429	And you really think this will meet the case?
hvd.32044020090429	Any other message? ” I inquired morosely. hvd.32044020090429 Are there many of your opinion?"
hvd.32044020090429	Are you sure?
hvd.32044020090429	But did you really go all the way to Crewe?
hvd.32044020090429	But not necessarily her diamond tiara-"Has she got one? ”- and certainly not her emerald and dia- mond necklace on top of all!".
hvd.32044020090429	But surely you get some exercise?
hvd.32044020090429	But what about the fellow you knocked out?
hvd.32044020090429	But what about the window? hvd.32044020090429 But what on earth has hap- pened?"
hvd.32044020090429	But what to do, Raffles?
hvd.32044020090429	But when will the chest be ready for me?
hvd.32044020090429	But where would you gentlemen stable your white elephants? hvd.32044020090429 But who are they, Raffles?
hvd.32044020090429	But why in the world should they ask us to dine with them?
hvd.32044020090429	But why me?
hvd.32044020090429	Did he lose a horse?
hvd.32044020090429	Did you let them see that you'd spotted that? ”No."
hvd.32044020090429	Did you see that light in Nab's just now?
hvd.32044020090429	Did you think I'd done it through an agent? ” he snarled. hvd.32044020090429 Do you know him?"
hvd.32044020090429	From mother earth to mother earth? hvd.32044020090429 Have you looked to see if the trophies are all safe? ”"Not yet,"said Maguire, with a glance at the pseudo- antique cabinet in which he kept them.
hvd.32044020090429	How else? ” whispered Raffles, as he opened 139 The Field of Philippi my ear. hvd.32044020090429 I ai n't such a juggins as to go agen a toff as makes it worf while to do as I'm bid an''old me tongue. ”"And who may you be?"
hvd.32044020090429	I do n't see it yet. ” “ Why should a burglar call an innocent gen- tleman away from home?
hvd.32044020090429	I mean to make him. ”But how?"
hvd.32044020090429	I suppose you do n't mean a member of the school? ” he added, pinking his man sud- denly as of yore, with all the old barbed acumen. hvd.32044020090429 I suppose you know that my aunt, Lady Mel- rose, died some years ago?
hvd.32044020090429	In my name?
hvd.32044020090429	Into the chest?
hvd.32044020090429	Is he dead? ” wheezed the asthmatic coolly. hvd.32044020090429 Is it necessary to go any further?"
hvd.32044020090429	No; why?
hvd.32044020090429	Seen'i m yet? ” he inquired confidentially, blowing a vile cloud from his horrid pipe. hvd.32044020090429 Slow murder?
hvd.32044020090429	Something valuable, sir?
hvd.32044020090429	Surely you did n't bring the — the tools? ” He jingled them gently in his pocket. hvd.32044020090429 That Noah's Ark of yours?
hvd.32044020090429	That, yes,I replied bitterly;"but not this, Raffles. ”"Why not?
hvd.32044020090429	Then do you suppose the burglar was in hiding in the house?
hvd.32044020090429	Then what do you mean, and what did you do? ”Made two bites at the cherry, Bunny!
hvd.32044020090429	They are empty also. ” “ When did you look into them?
hvd.32044020090429	Through the window?
hvd.32044020090429	Upstairs, miss, did he? hvd.32044020090429 Walk out from town?"
hvd.32044020090429	Was his body ever found?
hvd.32044020090429	Were you cut off sudden?
hvd.32044020090429	What about the Test Match? ” cried my asthmatic, shooting forward in his chair. hvd.32044020090429 What's the use? ” I groaned.
hvd.32044020090429	Where is it kept, Leggett?
hvd.32044020090429	Where's the terrier? ” screeched another. hvd.32044020090429 Who on earth are you?"
hvd.32044020090429	Why, Bunny? ” 274 A Thief in the Night to choose from? hvd.32044020090429 Why, Bunny? ” 274 A Thief in the Night to choose from?
hvd.32044020090429	You are actually staying in a house where you've broken in to steal?.
hvd.32044020090429	You do n't mean to say that's Thornaby House? ” 115 A Thief in the Night I was not familiar with the view from my back windows. hvd.32044020090429 You have n't hit upon any reason for the sort of burglar they think you were, ringing up the kind of man they know I am?"
hvd.32044020090429	You would n't like to go and see if the an- swer's in your rooms? ” he asked. hvd.32044020090429 ..The clock that was tied up in the towel had stopped at twenty past. ”"Have you interviewed my man? ”"I have, my lord.

hvd.32044020090429	Did n't I tell you he was particular?
hvd.32044020090429	Did n't you see it in the paper, Bunny?
hvd.32044020090429	Did you see the idea of being popular dawn upon him for the first time in his life? ” “ I did; but you had nothing to do with that, my dear man."
hvd.32044020090429	Do n't you remember my asking him if there was anything in the chest?"
hvd.32044020090429	Do you really sup- pose I did n't see through these wiseacres from the first?"
hvd.32044020090429	Do you think I would ever have crept out and given myself up?
hvd.32044020090429	Doubtless by this time he was safe and snug in the Albany: what did my fate matter to him?
hvd.32044020090429	Forgotten what, may I ask?"
hvd.32044020090429	Got a drink?
hvd.32044020090429	Had a look inside, have you?
hvd.32044020090429	Had he already set his heart on the one chance of some atonement for his life — nay, on the very death he was to die?
hvd.32044020090429	Had n't he some dodge of getting in and out without opening the lid?"
hvd.32044020090429	Have they turned up yet?
hvd.32044020090429	His name, did you say?
hvd.32044020090429	How could I help it?
hvd.32044020090429	How could any living man?
hvd.32044020090429	How could you have acted, as the polar star of all the stages could not have acted in your place?
hvd.32044020090429	How could you have behaved as you've done if you had known?
hvd.32044020090429	How do you suppose that I know these things?
hvd.32044020090429	How many did we scrape altogether? ” “ We're scraping them still."
hvd.32044020090429	How many? ” “ Over two hundred for seven wickets."
hvd.32044020090429	How on earth did you know?"
hvd.32044020090429	How's that for a jolly wardrobe?
hvd.32044020090429	I say, what's up?
hvd.32044020090429	I should call him the very prince of professional cracksmen. ” “ Should you? ” said Raffles coldly, with as cold an eye looking into mine.
hvd.32044020090429	I suppose you did n't happen to bring down an evening paper? ” I said I had brought one, but had unfortu- nately left it in the train.
hvd.32044020090429	I suppose you yourself will give something, Nas- myth? ” “ Give something?
hvd.32044020090429	I suppose you yourself will give something, Nas- myth? ” “ Give something?
hvd.32044020090429	I very nearly did. ”"For my face?"
hvd.32044020090429	I?
hvd.32044020090429	Is n't it rather hard luck if I am to go unforgiven into the bargain?
hvd.32044020090429	Is that a working flag- staff overhead? ”"It used to be."
hvd.32044020090429	Is there a ladder in the place?"
hvd.32044020090429	It seemed a fair enough thing, now, did n't it, sir?"
hvd.32044020090429	It's a coun- try- place in town. ”"What about the window- fastenings? ” asked Raffles casually.
hvd.32044020090429	It's on the first floor, is n't it?"
hvd.32044020090429	It's waiting for one word from her that's driving me mad. ”"Perhaps you wrote to Palace Gardens? ” “ No, I sent it to the country.
hvd.32044020090429	May I ask what you keep in it?"
hvd.32044020090429	Might it not be my last for years?
hvd.32044020090429	Need I add that I set about the rash endeavor without further expostulation?
hvd.32044020090429	Now, are you going to help me use them, or are you not?
hvd.32044020090429	Raffles — Raffles- do n't you know who she was? ” It was my hand that gripped his arm once more.
hvd.32044020090429	Ready?
hvd.32044020090429	Say, what's the matter with the'phone?"
hvd.32044020090429	See that decanter on the table? ”"I was just looking at it, ” said the person in sequins.
hvd.32044020090429	Shall I ever forget the incredulous horror of that moment?
hvd.32044020090429	So what did you do?
hvd.32044020090429	Sup- pose we make it the Café Royal, and eight sharp?
hvd.32044020090429	Talk about crooks, eh?
hvd.32044020090429	The Criminologists'Club “ DUT who are they, Raffles, and where's their D house?
hvd.32044020090429	Then what could be the meaning of that sickening and most suggestive thud?
hvd.32044020090429	This one may come in useful again. ” “ But how long did the whole thing take you?"
hvd.32044020090429	Well, I suppose you can guess what happened in the end?
hvd.32044020090429	Well, Leggett?"
hvd.32044020090429	What are those trees at the end of this lane?"
hvd.32044020090429	What business is it of theirs?
hvd.32044020090429	What could I do but double back into the house?
hvd.32044020090429	What could have happened after they all dropped off?"
hvd.32044020090429	What did you expect? ”!
hvd.32044020090429	What do you say to forming ourselves at once into a practically Silent Order?
hvd.32044020090429	What do you suppose would have happened to me if you had let me rip in that strong- room?
hvd.32044020090429	What exactly did it mean?
hvd.32044020090429	What good could it do him or the school?
hvd.32044020090429	What happens?
hvd.32044020090429	What has happened to you, Bunny?
hvd.32044020090429	What if he had traded on the suspect's presence in the house?
hvd.32044020090429	What if he were a deep villain himself, and the villain of this particular piece?
hvd.32044020090429	What's the good?
hvd.32044020090429	What's the matter with that?
hvd.32044020090429	What's the only really innocent thing you could do in the circumstances?"
hvd.32044020090429	Where could he be?
hvd.32044020090429	Where's the point in giving her up if I'm going to straighten out when it's too late?
hvd.32044020090429	Which door's nearest the back- stairs? ” “ The other."
hvd.32044020090429	Which would you have done, Bunny?"
hvd.32044020090429	Who has taken the house, if old Carruthers has moved, and how do you know that it is still worth a visit?"
hvd.32044020090429	Who on earth would give a pass for this show, of all others, to an old prisoner like me?".
hvd.32044020090429	Why did n't you tell me, Bunny?
hvd.32044020090429	Why had he never mentioned his idea to me?
hvd.32044020090429	Why make it one? ”"It's the night of their Hunt Point- to- Point.
hvd.32044020090429	Why spend money on a man who had been dead two hundred years?
hvd.32044020090429	Why?
hvd.32044020090429	You agree?
hvd.32044020090429	You know the wall, of course, and that jolly old postern?
hvd.32044020090429	You stimu- late me more than you think. ”"Your gallery and your prompter's box in one?"
hvd.32044020090429	You will come up?
hvd.32044020090429	You wo n't think me selfish if I do n't give it up to you?
hvd.32044020090429	“ All of them?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Already? ”"By the eleven- fifty lawst night. ”"Last night!
hvd.32044020090429	“ And when, and where?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ And where's the man, you scarlet hussy?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ And you actually thought that came out of his money?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Bunny, do you mean to tell me there are all these things? ”"Of course I do, ” said I.
hvd.32044020090429	“ But do you think the man has enough to make it worth our while to go so far afield?".
hvd.32044020090429	“ But what's the use of talking?
hvd.32044020090429	“ But who in blazes should he ring up?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ But you're going to this meeting at the school- house, surely?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Can you ask, Bunny? ” “ I am asking. ”"It's where I once hid before."
hvd.32044020090429	“ Did n't you get my note?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Did you ever hear from her, Bunny?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Did you get my name from him? ” pursued my questioner, in a suspicious wheeze.
hvd.32044020090429	“ Do you know what brought me back?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Does the manager want to see me?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Going to confess, eh, Bunny?
hvd.32044020090429	“ How on earth do you know?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ I suppose you do n't remem- ber if it was a Yale on the front door as well?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ I suppose you have n't seen much of him?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ I've no use for you this time. ” “ Yet I thought I had been so useful up to now?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Is n't it bully?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ It was in Nab's dressing- room. ” “ Yes?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Nice house? ” said Raffles, glancing at himself in his silver cigarette- case.
hvd.32044020090429	“ So you are going down, ” he sneered,"to this great gath- ering?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ The manager says he believes your chest was at the bottom of it all. ” “ How could it be?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Then it was n't even opened?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Then what do you propose to do with it?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Then where are you,"I asked,"between our- selves?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Then will you trust me to hit on something if possible before morning- in any case by the time it's wanted?
hvd.32044020090429	“ There, then. ”"Now go to the back window and up with the blind. ” “ Well?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Think you know him?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Through these windows?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Was I?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ We must make up our minds to that. ” “ Did he tell you he was expecting the servants or his wife?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Well?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ What bet?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ What was that, Bunny?
hvd.32044020090429	“ What's the good of your coming with me?".
hvd.32044020090429	“ What, that he should die the death? ” “ Why not?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ What, that he should die the death? ” “ Why not?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Where on earth to?!!
hvd.32044020090429	“ Who made the stand?".
hvd.32044020090429	“ Why did you run away like that the moment you had given me his note?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Why is it nonsense?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Why on earth should he burgle me? ” “ My dear Bunny, we must leave something to the imagination of the police.
hvd.32044020090429	“ Why should it have been your friend Raffles? ” he inquired, returning remorselessly to the charge, while Maguire roared"Drink up!"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Why should n't you take a house,"I asked,"and pay for it? ”"Why should I,"he retorted,"within three miles of the Albany?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Why should n't you take a house,"I asked,"and pay for it? ”"Why should I,"he retorted,"within three miles of the Albany?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Will you think me one when I tell you that I can understand what you felt, and even what you did?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Yes?
hvd.32044020090429	“ Yet you did hear from her? ” he persisted.
hvd.32044020090429	“ You did n't hit him?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ You do n't mean in the chest?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ You know the houses in Palace Gardens, do n't you?".
hvd.32044020090429	“ You know the thief? ”"I wish I did, ” rejoined Raffles, chuckling.
hvd.32044020090429	“ You mean under his own name?".
hvd.32044020090429	“ You need n't look so pale. ”"Is it safe?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ You really do mean to do it, Bunny?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ You shall have your share, whether you come or not; but, seriously, do n't you think you might remember the girl?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ You wo n't have a drink in my house?
hvd.32044020090429	“ You're never going to break in?"
hvd.32044020090429	“ Your letter?"

hvd.hn1g4z	A bullet?
hvd.hn1g4z	And then after a pause: “ Do you mean to say you thought — —? ” She stopped short, seized by a sudden shyness.
hvd.hn1g4z	And where is he now?
hvd.hn1g4z	And who is infallible?".
hvd.hn1g4z	And why?
hvd.hn1g4z	And you found its contents intact? ” “ Perfectly, ” said the banker triumphantly.
hvd.hn1g4z	And, if she did, would not her father prevent her from rendering any assis- tance?
hvd.hn1g4z	Are we not both able- bodied men and armed?
hvd.hn1g4z	As a matter of fact, Miss Murdock wore no rings; in the absence of the badge of the betrothed woman, was he not justified in believing her fancy free?
hvd.hn1g4z	At the worst, if he should refuse to do this, might it not be possible for me to scrape together and borrow enough to make good the deficiency?
hvd.hn1g4z	But I thought it best to pre- pare you — ” “ May I ask the name of your protégé?
hvd.hn1g4z	But first help me move this box. ” “ What do you want to do with the box? ” asked Sprague, who, however, did as he was bid."
hvd.hn1g4z	But how could you describe him so accurately when you have never seen him?"
hvd.hn1g4z	But how?
hvd.hn1g4z	But what can I do?
hvd.hn1g4z	But what dependence can be placed upon a pub- lic rumor?
hvd.hn1g4z	But what of that man Chatham?
hvd.hn1g4z	But what of the dark mysteries which re- main forever unsolved?
hvd.hn1g4z	But what on earth have the detectives done to you to call forth this wholesale vituperation? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hn1g4z	But would she hear a shout?
hvd.hn1g4z	By messenger?
hvd.hn1g4z	By the way, who is that Doctor Murdock with whom I have made this bet?".
hvd.hn1g4z	By whom?
hvd.hn1g4z	Can you spare a couple of hours?
hvd.hn1g4z	Come along with me; we can exchange confidences on the way. ” “ Very well; whither are you bound? ” “ I am on the track of big game.
hvd.hn1g4z	Did he give you his card? ” “ No, miss.
hvd.hn1g4z	Did you ever see a hot- air register with no apparent means of shutting off the heat?"
hvd.hn1g4z	Did you note the amount which this scoundrel confesses he and his accomplices have stolen from the bank?"
hvd.hn1g4z	Did you succeed in extracting the bullet? ” “ I have not tried yet.
hvd.hn1g4z	Do you know him? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1g4z	Do you see that broad black line on the hearth?
hvd.hn1g4z	Do you still think he was only drunk?"
hvd.hn1g4z	Have I any taker, gentlemen? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	Have n't you got the other man? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	Have you a duplicate of this that you can spare? ” “ Yes; keep that one if you wish. ” “ Thank you; I am very glad to have it.

hvd.hn1g4z	Have you ex- amined the safes this morning? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	Have you noticed that these two mysteries are con- temporaneous, and, therefore, that they may be related?"

hvd.hn1g4z	How is the portrait coming on?"
hvd.hn1g4z	How?
hvd.hn1g4z	I merely said that he was not shot in the cab. ” “ Then how did he get there? ” asked the phy- sician.
hvd.hn1g4z	I suppose, of course, you know the combination of that as well as that of the cash safe? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	I think I can promise you an interesting afternoon. ” “ What is it?
hvd.hn1g4z	In that case, whence were they fired?

hvd.hn1g4z	The dirty work is done, is it?
hvd.hn1g4z	Then suddenly: “ But who said anything about his being young or red- haired? ” “ Not you certainly, old man, ” replied Sturgis, smiling.
hvd.hn1g4z	There was a brief silence, broken at last by Sprague, who asked: “ Has he escaped? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	Think you'll find him in one of those bottles?"
hvd.hn1g4z	WHO FIRED THEM?
hvd.hn1g4z	Was she not there?
hvd.hn1g4z	Weil, Doctor Murdock, did they find Rutherford? ” Murdock had looked up while the banker was speaking.
hvd.hn1g4z	What I wished to know was the name of the person with whom Chatham wanted to converse. ” “ Did you discover it? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	What can one man do against two? ”"It is not an open fight, ” said Sturgis, “ but I am glad to see your spirit.
hvd.hn1g4z	What did he mean by that?
hvd.hn1g4z	What did you say the gentleman's name is? ” The reporter looked up and prepared to make a note of it.
hvd.hn1g4z	What do you know about her?"
hvd.hn1g4z	What do you mean? ” exclaimed Dunlap excitedly.
hvd.hn1g4z	What do you suppose the world would have done had you and Sprague remained in Murdock's death chamber yesterday?
hvd.hn1g4z	What had his accomplice to write to his wife?
hvd.hn1g4z	What is it now?
hvd.hn1g4z	What letter? ” asked Agnes, puzzled.
hvd.hn1g4z	What mattered it to him now how it was?
hvd.hn1g4z	What more could any sane man expect a mod- est girl to say?
hvd.hn1g4z	What of Agnes?
hvd.hn1g4z	What of the numerous crimes of which no one ever even knows?"
hvd.hn1g4z	What was he waiting for?
hvd.hn1g4z	What? — Oh, yes — those confidences.
hvd.hn1g4z	Where am I to meet you? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	Where was I?
hvd.hn1g4z	Where?
hvd.hn1g4z	Why not deliver the letter himself?
hvd.hn1g4z	Why not, indeed?
hvd.hn1g4z	Why pick out, as a test of his ability, a problem which, to all intents and purposes, has already been solved by the police?
hvd.hn1g4z	Why should I? ” inquired the banker in apparent surprise.
hvd.hn1g4z	Why should a hopeless lover pine for a mere sight of the woman whose pres- ence only adds to his misery?
hvd.hn1g4z	Will you hold these sheets while I transcribe the re- sult?"
hvd.hn1g4z	Would not his report betray me?
hvd.hn1g4z	Would this be such as to bring to light any irregularities that might exist in the books? ”.

hvd.hn1g4z	“ And so these are positively the last final touches, are they, Mr. Sprague? ” asked the young girl mischievously, after a few minutes.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ And what is the Manhattan Chemical Com- pany?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Anything new, Conklin? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Apparently it has,"admitted the banker; “ but how came it to be changed on a week day, and without my knowledge?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Are you hurt? ” inquired one of the police- men.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ At this time of day?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ But how do you know that?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ But what object could Chatham have for writing such a letter? ” “ No,"answered Sturgis, “ I do not think that Cliatham wrote this letter.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ But who can have fired the pistol, and at whom was it fired, and why? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ But,"objected the host, “ you surely do not mean to express a belief in the infallibility of circumstantial evidence?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ By Murray and Scott, the expert account- ants. ” “ Was the examination conducted by Mr. · Murray or by Mr. Scott? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Chatham! ” he ejaculated;"what do you know about Chatham? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Did I say he was my protégé? ” asked Mur- dock, gently.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Did Mr. Chatham wait to see you this after- noon?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Did you notice the man with whom I went in?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Do I disturb you, father? ” she asked, step- ping lightly into the room.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Do the employés of the bank know when an examination of this kind is to be made?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Do you know a young man, about five feet eight inches tall, with fiery red hair, who affects somewhat loud clothes? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Do you really mean it?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Eh?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ For me? ” exclaimed Agnes, surprised.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Has Chatham shown up while I was in there? ” he asked, indicating Murdock's house.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Have you a key to the desk? ” “ Yes, ” replied the banker.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Have you a passenger inside, young feller? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ He has been dead for some time,"replied the physician, impressively;"the body is almost cold. ” “ Been dead for some time?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ He has certainly been drinking heavily, Why?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ He's been here — been here twice. ” “ Twice?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ How so? ” “ Because we have settled, you will remember, that the shot was fired from the right of the vic- tim, and close to him.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ I do n't know-"“ You do n't know?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ I say, Doctor, ” he inquired at last, “ are you sure the man is drunk? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ I thought so, ” muttered the reporter, under his breath;"that man is truly a genius — the genius of evil. ” “ Who?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ I?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ I?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ In Murdock's study?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ In this very room? ” he mused aloud, looking about him with awe.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Indeed?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Is Thursday a general cleaning day at the bank? ” “ Yes,"answered the banker.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Is anything the matter, Mr. Sturgis?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Is he dead, Doctor?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Is n't there a leak of gas?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ May I call on you sometimes when the crowd is not there?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Miss Murdock? ” he inquired, glancing in the direction of the young girl.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Mister Thomuz Chathum, is it?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Mister who, is it?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ No;"the reporter's voice sank to a whisper; “ murder! ” “ Murder?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ On the hot- air register? ” “ On what looks like a hot- air register.

hvd.hn1g4z	“ Suicide?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ That depends upon how we look at it, ” he said gravely at length;"he has paid the penalty of his crimes. ” “ What do you mean? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ That is rather significant, is n't it? ” suggested the reporter.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ The passenger? ” queried the physician, turn- ing in surprise to the policeman.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ The price of his complicity? ” he exclaimed, laying his hand upon Sturgis's arm, and looking earnestly into his eyes.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Then, how on earth do you know—-?".
hvd.hn1g4z	“ To the original of the picture you wanted to show me yesterday? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Well, Mr. Sturgis, ” said Murdock, “ what do you think of my little problem? ”.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Well? ” The question came in the sweet tones of a woman's voice.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Well? ” inquired the reporter in apparent sur- prise.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Were you allowed to see the cabman? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What do you make out? ” asked Sturgis.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What else can I do?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What else could I think? ” said Sprague softly.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What is it, Jim?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What is it? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What passenger? ” asked the policeman, looking at the cabman.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ What, are you interested in Chatham? ” asked the artist, curiously.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Where is he now?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Whither are you bound now, Thurston?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Who besides yourself has a key to the drawer in which this revolver is kept? ” “ The cashier has one and the head bookkeeper has another."
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Who is he? ” asked Thurston.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Who knows? ” he replied coolly, continuing his examination.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Why did he want to shut me in the exten- sion? ” he asked himself over and over, and he could find no satisfactory answer to the question.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Why not? ” “ Because I gave you credit for possessing the scientific spirit.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Why should she suffer?
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Yes; only last week. ” “ Well? ” “ They were found to be all right as usual. ” “ May I ask by whom?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ Yes; only last week. ” “ Well? ” “ They were found to be all right as usual. ” “ May I ask by whom?"
hvd.hn1g4z	“ You have not examined this safe? ” “ Why, no; 1 —""If you have no objection, I should like to see the interior of that safe.
hvd.hn1g4z	“ You think, then, that you will succeed in unearthing this villain? ” asked Dunlap eagerly.

hvd.hn1j22	I do n't think there can be any doubt that what killed him was fear at seeing a repetition-"“ Of the fiery hand? ” concluded Smith.
hvd.hn1j22	I only know that she did. ” “ And then?"
hvd.hn1j22	I trust, Dr. Petrie, that you suffer no inconvenience? ”.
hvd.hn1j22	I whispered—“what has hap- pened?"
hvd.hn1j22	I've leased the house in the name of Professor Maxton..."“ But, Smith, ” I cried, “ what possible reason can there be for disguise?"
hvd.hn1j22	If only I had a pistol, or a revolver"“ What should you do? ”.
hvd.hn1j22	Is there no means of learning,"I said, “ from whence this message emanated?"
hvd.hn1j22	Is there time to summon assistance?"
hvd.hn1j22	It was a signal, and it read:-SMITH... SOS. ” “ Well??
hvd.hn1j22	It was a signal, and it read:-SMITH... SOS. ” “ Well??
hvd.hn1j22	No footstep disturbed the silence of the highroad; where was my patient?
hvd.hn1j22	Of course you will remain to night, and I trust for some days to come? ” Smith glanced rapidly across at me, then turned again to our host."
hvd.hn1j22	Per- haps, when I know more — will you forget my words, for the time?"
hvd.hn1j22	Shall I say that I was surprised?
hvd.hn1j22	She has been here three times--"“ Kâramaneh? ”... “ Ssh! ” I heard a sound like the opening of a distant door.
hvd.hn1j22	She made out that she and Sing, apore Charlie were prepared to give away the boss of the Yellow gang"“ For a price, of course?".
hvd.hn1j22	Should we never learn that where Fu- Manchu was, impetuosity must prove fatal?
hvd.hn1j22	Should you not fear for your life every time that a night- call took you out alone?
hvd.hn1j22	Smith — how do we know —"“ That we have followed the right car?"
hvd.hn1j22	Surely there could not be two such in the world?
hvd.hn1j22	That he had seen me, I could not doubt; but had he seen my com- panion?
hvd.hn1j22	There was a short silence; then: “ And you have been down to the Gables again? ” “ I was there on Saturday, but there's not a scrap of evidence.

hvd.hn1j22	Was I awake, was I sane?
hvd.hn1j22	Was I losing my senses indeed?
hvd.hn1j22	Was this another effort of the unknown jester?
hvd.hn1j22	Were there no means whereby I could induce the marmoset to approach me?
hvd.hn1j22	What change had taken place in those limpid, mysterious pools?
hvd.hn1j22	What could be the meaning of the mysterious summons?

hvd.hn1j22	What do you make of the sound like the cracking of a whip?"
hvd.hn1j22	What had been the mean- ing of that scream which I had heard but to which in my frantic state of mind I had paid comparatively little attention?
hvd.hn1j22	What information had Burke to sell?
hvd.hn1j22	What of poisoned darts?
hvd.hn1j22	What of the damnable reptiles and insects which form part of the armory of Fu- Manchu? ” “ Familiarity breeds contempt, I suppose,"he re- plied.
hvd.hn1j22	What was afoot?
hvd.hn1j22	When did you warn him, and of what? ” “ I warned him, sir, that it would come to this —""That what would come to this?"

hvd.hn1j22	Where did he conse from? ” “ He was a retired tea- planter from Colombo,"replied the inspector.
hvd.hn1j22	Where had I heard that soft voice?
hvd.hn1j22	Where had I seen this graceful Eastern youth before?
hvd.hn1j22	Where were the detectives?
hvd.hn1j22	Why was Forsyth standing there at the gate?
hvd.hn1j22	Why was a wild madness growing up within me like a flame?
hvd.hn1j22	Why was the old longing returned, ten- thou- sandfold, to snatch that pliant, exquisite shape to my breast?

hvd.hn1j22	You thought it was Indian?

hvd.hn1j22	“ And Lejay?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ And he is one of the gang?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ And how did he die? ” I asked, interestedly.
hvd.hn1j22	“ And now, what took place to- night? ”"He had an appointment here with the girl,"be- gan Burke- “ I know all that,"interrupted Smith.
hvd.hn1j22	“ And what is this he knows? ” Nayland Smith stared eagerly at the detective.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Ask yourself the question: what would any ordinary man be doing motoring in a place like this at two o'clock in the morning?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Because I called on our friend Weymouth at the Yard yesterday and looked up the man's record. ” “ Whatever for?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Bells?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ But if it is the inspector?
hvd.hn1j22	“ But in what way does the case enter into your province?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ By what right do you reproach me?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Can I show you anything, sir? ” inquired the new arrival, with a second slight inclination of the head.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Certainly, ” I said with surprise; “ is there any reason why I should not? ”.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Could you rest in peace if you thought that he A MIDNIGHT SUMMONS 3 lived?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Did any one come?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Did he confirm the ringing?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Did he give you any particulars?".
hvd.hn1j22	“ Did the officer see this person?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Do I understand that Burke is actually too afraid to go out openly even in daylight? ” he asked sud- denly.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Do you mean something that came up out of the sea?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Do you seriously believe that my ghost- hunting was undertaken for amusement?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Dr. Petrie-"“ Well?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ For God's sake, Smith, what was it?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ For Heaven's sake, why not?".

hvd.hn1j22	“ Go on,"I said rather hollowly;"what next? ” “ She glared at me with those wonderful eyes, an expression of implacable hatred in them!
hvd.hn1j22	“ Good evening, sir,"he said monotonously, with a slight inclination of the head; “ is there anything which you desire to inspect? ”.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Has he heard no other sound? ” rapped Smith; 152 THE RETURN OF DR. FU- MANCHU “ one like the cracking of dry branches, for in- stance?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Has he heard no other sound? ” rapped Smith; 152 THE RETURN OF DR. FU- MANCHU “ one like the cracking of dry branches, for in- stance?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have we been over- confident?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have you a flask? ” demanded Smith of Carter.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have you a whistle with you? ” I felt in my coat pocket.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have you ever known me to waste my time when there was important work to do?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have you got it, Smith?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have you killed it, Petrie? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Have you some one waiting? ” whispered Smith, eagerly.
hvd.hn1j22	“ He came in a cab which he dismissed — ” “ He has not left again?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ He had dealings with Chinamen?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ He wants to see me?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ How can you be sure of that?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ How long have you been here?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ How long was I insensible? ” “ About half an hour."
hvd.hn1j22	“ How so?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ I ask but one thing from an Englishman; your word of honor?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ I shall take a little walk,"announced Eltham;"for I gather that you do n't expect to be detained long?
hvd.hn1j22	“ In sanity's name what is it- what is it?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Instinctive, I suppose,"he snapped; “ but what do we expect to see in the air?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Is it certain that they went there?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Is it to this paragraph that I owe the pleasure of seeing you here? ” “ The paragraph appeared in this morning's is- sue,"replied Smith.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Is that Carter? ” called Smith, sharply.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Is that Dr. Petrie?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Is that all you know? ” he demanded slowly.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Is your hand steady?
hvd.hn1j22	“ My God, Petrie! ” he said, “ am I fated always to come too latz?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ My dear Pearce,"he cried, “ do you hear the ringing of bells?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Now,"continued Smith,"you, Petrie, will want to examine him, I suppose? ” He pointed to the body.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Really? ” “ It is indeed.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Released what?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Shall we get out again?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Shall you keep any appointment which he may suggest?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Should you care to take a run down and see for yourself? ”"No, thanks,"I replied, shaking my head.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Smith! ” I cried from the window; “ Smith, for mercy's sake where are you? ” Footsteps came racing up the stairs.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Smith, ” I said, “ what, in Heaven's name, were you doing on the mound?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Smith,"I said shortly, “ you remember Azîz?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ So you know me no more?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Surely some arrests were made?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ The Gables will be watched?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ The mulatto?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Then why do you serve this inhuman monster?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Then you wo n't come?".
hvd.hn1j22	“ There was no one else in the hall?."
hvd.hn1j22	“ There will be a sufficient number of men?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ To catch birds; you have said so yourself. ” “ What bird?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Very high- handed? ” “ A commissioner has certain privileges, Petrie; and any action I might choose to take was not likely to be questioned.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Was I mistaken? ”.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Was it a man?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Was she a servant?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Was there a gallery outside the window?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Well?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Well? ” I cried.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What did you do? ” I asked quietly, my fingers drumming upon the table.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What do you make of it, Petrie? ” he said harshly.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What do you mean, Smith?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ What do you mean?".
hvd.hn1j22	“ What has given you this idea? ” “ Weymouth is responsible.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What have you done with — the body? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What is he afraid of exactly?".
hvd.hn1j22	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1j22	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ What is this?
hvd.hn1j22	“ What kind of thing, what unnatural, distorted creature, laid hands upon my throat to- night?
hvd.hn1j22	“ What may be amongst the trees, Smith?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ What now?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ What strange bird are you seeking — Karamanèh? ” With a passionate gesture Karamanèh snatched off the veil, and with it the ugly black hat.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What was he?
hvd.hn1j22	“ What — a woman or something? ” “ Some affair of that sort.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What's that? ” snapped Smith suddenly, grasp- ing my arm.
hvd.hn1j22	“ What's this?
hvd.hn1j22	“ What?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where did you engage him? ” THE MULATTO 217 5Actually, in St.

hvd.hn1j22	“ Where did you find this?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where did you last see Eltham? ” he asked rap- idly.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where is Eltham? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where is Fu- Manchu?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where is the girl?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where's your lantern?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Where's your patient?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Who kept the place in order?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Why do you look at me so?
hvd.hn1j22	“ Why do you question me if you think that everything I say is a lie?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ With the light on? ” interrupted Stacey in sur prise.
hvd.hn1j22	“ Yes,"I replied shortly;"but we could find no trace — no trace. ” “ You- er~ were interested?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ You are interested in my poor Cynocephalyte? ” he said; and his eyes were filmed like the eyes of one afflicted with cataract.
hvd.hn1j22	“ You are not going to attempt anything, single- handed against him?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ You can swear to that? ” he snapped.
hvd.hn1j22	“ You know what this is, Petrie?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ You remember the Call of Siva? ” he said, thrust.
hvd.hn1j22	“ You saw her?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ You see that clump of bushes on the other side of the road? ” I said.
hvd.hn1j22	“ You see, ” he continued, peering across at me in his oddly nervous way, “ one never knows, does one?
hvd.hn1j22	“ You think he may have sunk so low as to become a creature of Fu- Manchu?"
hvd.hn1j22	“ You will'phone us, then?"

hvd.32044018751248	A fair- complexioned young Englishman? hvd.32044018751248 A silver tobacco box did you say?"
hvd.32044018751248	Ai n't you got any thing stiffer than this stuff?
hvd.32044018751248	All right,returned the colonel's voice, gruffly;"but be quick about it, will you?
hvd.32044018751248	Am I to understand,interposed the inspector at this point,"that you are prepared to bring a specific charge of murder against Colonel Des- mond?"

hvd.32044018751248	But if he did that, is it likely that he would have said any thing about going to Hanier's at all? hvd.32044018751248 But if it was pawned just before New Years, why — who took it out again?"
hvd.32044018751248	But of whom do you speak?

hvd.32044018751248	What was the number of the pawn ticket?
hvd.32044018751248	What was your name and address, if you please?
hvd.32044018751248	What were the letters in the monogram?
hvd.32044018751248	What would I be thinking of? hvd.32044018751248 What's a silver tobacco box?
hvd.32044018751248	What's the matter with staying here for good and all? hvd.32044018751248 When and how did you lose it?"
hvd.32044018751248	When the woman came out of the house did she have any thing in her hand?
hvd.32044018751248	When was this?
hvd.32044018751248	Where did you get it?
hvd.32044018751248	Where is he now?
hvd.32044018751248	Where is that?
hvd.32044018751248	Who is your landlady over there?
hvd.32044018751248	Who says I killed him?
hvd.32044018751248	Who was the fellow?
hvd.32044018751248	Who was the pawnbroker?
hvd.32044018751248	Who's the manager of your office?
hvd.32044018751248	Why do you think that?
hvd.32044018751248	Why not a cigarette case, then?
hvd.32044018751248	Why, you're not a bruiser, are you?
hvd.32044018751248	Will you tell me who you are?
hvd.32044018751248	Would you mind stepping round the corner with me?
hvd.32044018751248	Yes? hvd.32044018751248 You are Inspector Byrnes, are you not?"
hvd.32044018751248	You are acquainted with her, you say?
hvd.32044018751248	You are quite sure you understand what you are to do, Elise?
hvd.32044018751248	You can prove it, can you? hvd.32044018751248 You do n't expect me to believe that, do you?
hvd.32044018751248	You do n't mean to say that you've*** what in the name of Moses do you mean?
hvd.32044018751248	You live in the same house with her, then?
hvd.32044018751248	You mean that Frenchman in Twenty- sixth Street?
hvd.32044018751248	You mean, then, to identify her as the culprit?
hvd.32044018751248	''Are you going to keep me all day?"
hvd.32044018751248	'Holidays, and that sort of thing, I sup- pose?'
hvd.32044018751248	119 the colonel lost his night- key, and were the servants deaf to the bell?
hvd.32044018751248	185"Where had you reason to think that it was?"
hvd.32044018751248	187"You allowed it to remain there some time, then, before attempting to redeem it?"
hvd.32044018751248	88 INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	89 thing else you would like to know, my dear friend?"
hvd.32044018751248	91 whether any of the patients had lately escaped?
hvd.32044018751248	984, then, was it?"
hvd.32044018751248	A few days ago, you said?
hvd.32044018751248	A pretty bit of work, I suppose?
hvd.32044018751248	Admitting that the man was a maniac, what about the woman?
hvd.32044018751248	After a pause he said:"What sort of a looking man was he?
hvd.32044018751248	Aloud he said,"What were the dimensions of the case, colonel?"
hvd.32044018751248	And one night you committed a crime"What was McGloin looking at?
hvd.32044018751248	And then what?
hvd.32044018751248	And what then?
hvd.32044018751248	And who was it I'm supposed to have murdered?"
hvd.32044018751248	At length he roused himself and said,"What traces did you find in the saloon?"
hvd.32044018751248	At length she awakened her husband, and said,'Can it be that person again?'
hvd.32044018751248	Be- sides, I did n't care: why should I?
hvd.32044018751248	Before long she heard the bell ring and Robert asking the servant who opened the door whether the colonel was at home?
hvd.32044018751248	Before long we shall be brought down to six per cent, rates and then I think I will sell out and go on Wall Street, eh?"
hvd.32044018751248	But did they recognize him?
hvd.32044018751248	But how do you account for his having done so?
hvd.32044018751248	But how?
hvd.32044018751248	But if she were indeed the perpetrator of the crime, why had she revisited the scene of it?
hvd.32044018751248	But now comes the queerest point of all: Why should they have wrecked his shop to spite him if they meant to murder him afterward?
hvd.32044018751248	But was the visit of personal or political significance, or of both?
hvd.32044018751248	But what was going on?
hvd.32044018751248	But who told you that?"
hvd.32044018751248	But who was to stimulate this fatal vanity?
hvd.32044018751248	Ca n't you see him yet?"
hvd.32044018751248	Can you find him?"
hvd.32044018751248	Could any evidence against him have leaked out?
hvd.32044018751248	Could it be possible that they were going to Louis Hainer's?
hvd.32044018751248	Could you let me have a look at it?"
hvd.32044018751248	Did any Prima donna, even the only Patti herself, even attract so vast and promiscuous an audience?
hvd.32044018751248	Did they give you a descrip- tion of him?"
hvd.32044018751248	Did you pick up any acquaintances there?"
hvd.32044018751248	Do n't come to me with such stories as that?"
hvd.32044018751248	Do you remember the scamps?
hvd.32044018751248	Do you think he can have found out any thing, and be going to punish her?"
hvd.32044018751248	Do you understand?"
hvd.32044018751248	Eh?
hvd.32044018751248	Engraved, and all that?"
hvd.32044018751248	For that matter, what was there that it would not explain?
hvd.32044018751248	Found it on the floor of the dining- room, perhaps?"
hvd.32044018751248	Had he, after all, been robbed, and had the robbers escaped with the contents of his till?
hvd.32044018751248	Had he, perhaps, left any traces behind him, which had at length been gathered, and followed up?
hvd.32044018751248	Hastening his steps, the Shambling Man over- took Mr. Sibley just as the latter reached the door 1* INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	Have you any theory as to how it was done?"
hvd.32044018751248	Have you seen my parrot?"
hvd.32044018751248	He could trust you with ten dollars'worth of silver, could n't he?"
hvd.32044018751248	He did n't have the woman with him, you say?"
hvd.32044018751248	He escaped, and he'll never come back here?"
hvd.32044018751248	He only say,'Hurry up, will you?
hvd.32044018751248	How could so great a change be so sudden?
hvd.32044018751248	How did he get the correct number?
hvd.32044018751248	How long is it since you stole that clothing from a house in Twenty- sixth Street?"
hvd.32044018751248	How should you?
hvd.32044018751248	How, then, was the crime to be brought home to the criminal?
hvd.32044018751248	I asked her how long ago Hanier had received it?'
hvd.32044018751248	I asked her who it was that gave him the ciga- rette case?'
hvd.32044018751248	I suppose that story is n't worth any thing?"
hvd.32044018751248	I suppose you do n't wish me to tell you what that was?"
hvd.32044018751248	INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	If the writer meant honestly, why should he not sign his name?
hvd.32044018751248	In a husky voice he put the question,"What is the charge against me?"
hvd.32044018751248	Is that all you have to tell me?"
hvd.32044018751248	Is there any thing more?"
hvd.32044018751248	It seems you are interested then?"
hvd.32044018751248	It wo n't be much out of your way, will it?"
hvd.32044018751248	Known her long?"
hvd.32044018751248	Might it not be possible, with a fellow so full of self- conceit and vanity as McGloin, to induce him to incriminate himself?
hvd.32044018751248	Mrs. Desmond?
hvd.32044018751248	Of course it was only a surmise that they did not belong to it, and in democratic America the differ- 82 INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	Oh, Robert, what do you suppose it is?"
hvd.32044018751248	On the other hand, what, if not the butler, could be adequate to the production of such an outbreak?
hvd.32044018751248	Presently the hack stopped, and the driver spoke through the window:"Do you see that carriage there with a white horse next the lamp- post?"
hvd.32044018751248	Professional criminals?
hvd.32044018751248	Row with his wife, was n't it?"
hvd.32044018751248	Say, my dear, you're a d d nice- looking girl, did you know it?"
hvd.32044018751248	She had got into the house the first time without violence: why should she come again and break open the door?
hvd.32044018751248	Should he go to Bloomingdale and inquire INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	So I draws up, and in the two gets, and says I,'Where to?'
hvd.32044018751248	Some one here inquired, humorously, whether it had been the intention of Mike to put any body to death with the weapon alluded to?
hvd.32044018751248	Suddenly he looked up and asked,"Do you know many people in New York?"
hvd.32044018751248	Suppose you wanted twenty dollars to- morrow, how would you get it?"
hvd.32044018751248	That would n't be as far back as Christ- mas, was it?"
hvd.32044018751248	The Shambling Man was certainly impressed; INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	The bullet was the only real approach to a clew that had yet come to hand; could it show him the way out of the labyrinth?
hvd.32044018751248	The case was pawned, I think you said, on the thirtieth of Decem- ber?"
hvd.32044018751248	The cigarette case appeared to have been lost: where was it?
hvd.32044018751248	The colonel handed out something, and said,"How much on that?"
hvd.32044018751248	The main thing was, could the respectable and wealthy colonel be proved guilty of the murder of the obscure and impecunious tradesman?
hvd.32044018751248	The purloiner of the silver cigarette case had got away without 80 INSANE?
hvd.32044018751248	Their line of retreat is safe: but shall they turn tail to a stupid foreigner?
hvd.32044018751248	Then he asked abruptly,"Where were you last night between half- past twelve and two o'clock?"
hvd.32044018751248	Then, as if from a passing curiosity, he asked,"Whom do you go to the theater and down the bay with, as a general thing?"
hvd.32044018751248	There was a man came here a few days ago and he put down a silver tobacco box —""A what?"
hvd.32044018751248	This girl has scruples, you say?"
hvd.32044018751248	This man, he put down the cigarette case — if you like to call it a cigarette case — I do n't know — and he says,'How much?'
hvd.32044018751248	Was he a youngish fellow, rather short, with light hair and smooth face?"
hvd.32044018751248	Was he safe, indeed?
hvd.32044018751248	Was it audacity?
hvd.32044018751248	Was it blood that he had trodden in?
hvd.32044018751248	Was it possible that any of his companions had informed upon him?
hvd.32044018751248	Was it to gloat over the visible evidence of her deed?
hvd.32044018751248	Was n't there a fellow in that neighborhood — a man who has been arrested once or twice — called Muggins?"
hvd.32044018751248	Was she going to succeed after all?
hvd.32044018751248	Was such an unmanly cur as this worth hanging?
hvd.32044018751248	Well?"
hvd.32044018751248	What could be the meaning of this?
hvd.32044018751248	What could have been his object?"
hvd.32044018751248	What could they portend?
hvd.32044018751248	What did this mean?
hvd.32044018751248	What did this unlooked- for invasion betoken?
hvd.32044018751248	What do you say to it?"
hvd.32044018751248	What do you want with me?"
hvd.32044018751248	What event was that?"
hvd.32044018751248	What had he been taken for?
hvd.32044018751248	What had he done to escape for?"
hvd.32044018751248	What have I done?"
hvd.32044018751248	What if the murderer of Louis Hanier were in fact a maniac?
hvd.32044018751248	What in the name of wonder were they doing there?
hvd.32044018751248	What is his name?"
hvd.32044018751248	What lady is that?"
hvd.32044018751248	What lay upon the further side of it?
hvd.32044018751248	What sane person would look to see a murderer put the halter round his own neck?
hvd.32044018751248	What was it?
hvd.32044018751248	What was the class of persons most likely to have committed this deed?
hvd.32044018751248	What was the matter?
hvd.32044018751248	What were you thinking of then?"
hvd.32044018751248	What will he do with that weapon?
hvd.32044018751248	When he came up- stairs she asked him what was the matter?
hvd.32044018751248	Who can it be?"
hvd.32044018751248	Who says I killed Hanier?"
hvd.32044018751248	Who was this Robert Johnson to whom she had trusted so implicitly, and whom she had allowed herself to care for so much?
hvd.32044018751248	Why could he not forget it?
hvd.32044018751248	Why had he not thought of this before?
hvd.32044018751248	Why not start with an investigation of the city's ash- barrels and dump- ing- grounds?
hvd.32044018751248	Why not?"
hvd.32044018751248	Would he ever again be per- mitted to go forth into that sunshine, a free man?
hvd.32044018751248	Would he not have fallen down the stairs and lain at the bottom of them?
hvd.32044018751248	Would not that ex- plain a great many otherwise inexplicable things?
hvd.32044018751248	Yes, but —""Well, where is it?"
hvd.32044018751248	Yes, it is curious; but not so curi- ous as for a man with a watch of two thousand dollars to pawn a box of five — eh?
hvd.32044018751248	You are the manager of a large printing and engraving company, are you not?"
hvd.32044018751248	You had some connection with the family, I believe?"
hvd.32044018751248	You remember it?"
hvd.32044018751248	You say the alarm is out after those three fellows who were in earlier in the evening?"
hvd.32044018751248	You're not talking in riddles, I hope?"
hvd.32044018751248	carry death to Brady as well as the body lying yonder?
hvd.32044018751248	cumstances of his arrest — the suddenness, the fore- sight, the mystery — no other meaning than this?
hvd.32044018751248	e?"
hvd.32044018751248	inspector, can you save me from hanging?"
hvd.32044018751248	or what was it?
hvd.32044018751248	shall I go on?
hvd.32044018751248	the other repeated,"at what time?"
hvd.32044018751248	you have seen a later account than the one I read?"
hvd.32044018751248	you remember the directions as to where you are to meet him?"
hvd.hn1hwn	-And people who own private greenhouses know bow to bribe taxi drivers to hold up their fares in Central Park? hvd.hn1hwn A friend? ” he mocked.
hvd.hn1hwn	A what?
hvd.hn1hwn	Ai n't it a beauty? ”Where did you get it?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Ai n't it a beauty? ”Where did you get it?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Are you a robber? ” one of them quavered. hvd.hn1hwn Bond stuff? ” She flipped the ashes off her cigarette superciliously.
hvd.hn1hwn	But what do you want with me?
hvd.hn1hwn	Handing out phoney prescriptions for booze, eh? ” The man was a prohibition officer. hvd.hn1hwn Have the police questioned you? ” “ I could n't bear to see them.
hvd.hn1hwn	He's a friend of the Chief's, ai n't he? ” one of the men said meaningly. hvd.hn1hwn How did he get away?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Miss La Fontaine? ” Ware arose and stepped to her. hvd.hn1hwn The Chief?"
hvd.hn1hwn	What do you want? ” She leaned her shoul- der against the casing and pursed her lips dis- dainfully. hvd.hn1hwn What friend?'
hvd.hn1hwn	What is it? ” Ware was interested in spite of himself. hvd.hn1hwn What sort of man is it? ” he asked the fat lit- tle servant.
hvd.hn1hwn	Where is Joyce?
hvd.hn1hwn	Who were they?
hvd.hn1hwn	... Well, what is the matter, Tom?
hvd.hn1hwn	100 WHAT ABOUT JOYCE?
hvd.hn1hwn	122 GOLD- KILLER “ Miss Rice?
hvd.hn1hwn	237 “ Am I the Gold- Killer? ” he shouted inwardly, as blackness descended over him.
hvd.hn1hwn	56 GOLD- KILLER “ Did you know John Rice? ” Tom stuttered with excitement.
hvd.hn1hwn	78 GOLD- KILLER “ When does it happen? ” Harty asked.
hvd.hn1hwn	A hotel? ” the officer growled with professional roughness.
hvd.hn1hwn	AM I THE GOLD- KILLER?
hvd.hn1hwn	Am I right?"
hvd.hn1hwn	And Anne, would they exe- cute their vengeance on her too?
hvd.hn1hwn	And Tom realized that without close relatives she needed someone who was young, enthusiastic and eager to help her — why not Dr. Tom Ware?
hvd.hn1hwn	And his friend? ” Anne turned to greet the guests as they came from the hallway, before she could answer.
hvd.hn1hwn	And in the jumble of syllables that followed they seemed to hear the WHAT ABOUT JOYCE?
hvd.hn1hwn	And then your friend Joyce the movie critic; he has disappeared, has n't he?
hvd.hn1hwn	And what do you think about it?"
hvd.hn1hwn	And, then, where is Joyce, anyway?
hvd.hn1hwn	Are you going to give away your insides? ” one of the men standing around him said roughly.
hvd.hn1hwn	Booze?
hvd.hn1hwn	But might not the Gold- Killer, if it were he, suspect something more, sus- pect his true errand?
hvd.hn1hwn	But was it that?
hvd.hn1hwn	But what could he do?
hvd.hn1hwn	But why his agitation?
hvd.hn1hwn	CHAPTER IX WHAT ABOUT JOYCE?
hvd.hn1hwn	Ca n't I be a scholar and gentleman, and rob trucks, too?
hvd.hn1hwn	Ca n't you recall anything that might give you a clue to the identity of the figure that struggled with the big truck- driver?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Can you blame me for wondering and for worrying?
hvd.hn1hwn	Can you tell me what it is?
hvd.hn1hwn	Con- demned for what?
hvd.hn1hwn	Could I talk with you? ” “ Of course, Dos, ” she told him.
hvd.hn1hwn	D'yuh say I wasn'a gen'leman? ” Ware laughed and patted him on the shoulders reassuringly.
hvd.hn1hwn	Di'n''spect tuh fin'me here, did yuh?
hvd.hn1hwn	Did I ever tell you of the exploration trip on which my father sent me out into the thickets of the upper Amazon river basin in Ecua- dor and Peru?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Did he know or was it that he himself feared some time to feel on his throat the pressure of those terrible fingers?
hvd.hn1hwn	Did you ever hear of McKurk's? ” “ No,"replied Tom.
hvd.hn1hwn	Did you know Jack? ” She gave Ware a provocative glance.
hvd.hn1hwn	Do n't you remember how it puzzled us?
hvd.hn1hwn	Do n't you remember what happened the last time we went together to see Chickie?
hvd.hn1hwn	Do n't you think we should put it into the hands of the police?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Do you remember what I told you about Flash Montague's and Baldy's each taking a small drink, and how reticent they were afterward?
hvd.hn1hwn	Does there not seem to be some connection there? ” She nodded with a puzzled expression.
hvd.hn1hwn	Family chuck you off?
hvd.hn1hwn	Feeling like a chicken at her first party?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Get me? ” She gave Ware's hand a hard friendly squeeze.
hvd.hn1hwn	Gold dust?
hvd.hn1hwn	Got some little game of your own, hey? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	Had they caught him spy- ing?
hvd.hn1hwn	Has n't he been urging our mar- riage, urging me as hard as you, yourself, have urged me?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Have you seen the newspapers? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn1hwn	He lit himself a cigarette, leaned back luxuriously, waved one pudgy hand grandiloquently, and said: “ You like poetry, Tom?
hvd.hn1hwn	He said he did n't know. ” “ What did the man in the car look like? ” “ I could not see.
hvd.hn1hwn	He was awfully strong. ” “ What did you do then? ” Ware could perceive no hint of an explanation in the maid's account.
hvd.hn1hwn	How could you understand?"
hvd.hn1hwn	How did it affect the case against Dos Andros and his ape?
hvd.hn1hwn	How had they found these things out?
hvd.hn1hwn	How had they known where to find him?
hvd.hn1hwn	How, how, though, can we fathom this dreadful mystery?
hvd.hn1hwn	I did n't tell them. ” “ Did Morgan give you anything?"
hvd.hn1hwn	I like y', Tom- you be careful- Baldy's comin'an'he says t'me'We got ta kill Tom — Chief's ordersh'- but Chickie's not comin', is she? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	I will give you a patch of red flowers. ” “ A patch of red flowers?"
hvd.hn1hwn	IX WHAT ABOUT JOYCE?
hvd.hn1hwn	If Chickie were the murderer, who was the man seen leav- ing the Rice box on the night of the murder?
hvd.hn1hwn	Is Chickie here? ” “ Chickie? ” Flash's bead- like little eyes opened wide with horror.
hvd.hn1hwn	Is Chickie here? ” “ Chickie? ” Flash's bead- like little eyes opened wide with horror.
hvd.hn1hwn	Is it imported?
hvd.hn1hwn	Is it so strange that I should connect these events?".
hvd.hn1hwn	It is n't fair that you should have all the fun,—now is it?"
hvd.hn1hwn	It will be one of the Commercial Transfer Company's wagons. ” “ Will it be in a week or in a day?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Italian?
hvd.hn1hwn	JEALOUSY 143 “ How could you tell? ” she parried.
hvd.hn1hwn	Just as you have read in underworld stories. ” “ There are such places, are n't there?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Liberties? ” He could not resist trying to appear up- to- date.
hvd.hn1hwn	Nobody was near the truck at the time of the fight save Chickie, WHAT ABOUT JOYCE?
hvd.hn1hwn	Oh, why were n't you nearer?
hvd.hn1hwn	Or do you take a little sniff once in a while?
hvd.hn1hwn	Or had the South American taken her?
hvd.hn1hwn	Or- Ware's brain struck fire — did they know that he had gone among them, trying to pry into the mystery of the Gold- Killer?
hvd.hn1hwn	Say, have n't you ever been on a job before? ” “ What was the row? ” Flash put in.
hvd.hn1hwn	Say, have n't you ever been on a job before? ” “ What was the row? ” Flash put in.
hvd.hn1hwn	Shall it be a grape fruit, or a honey dew melon first- and how doth my lord prefer his eggs?"
hvd.hn1hwn	She was unable to make any reply, save the obstinate phrase: 262 GOLD- KILLER “ What next? ” His jaw clamped tightly.
hvd.hn1hwn	THE GANG GATHERS 83 “ Are n't you going to stand by me and give this guy a licking? ” Morgan turned on them angrily.
hvd.hn1hwn	That's it, is n't it, Miss Rice? ” Anne bit her lip, smiled and nodded.
hvd.hn1hwn	Then a po- liceman came, and then the reporters, and I told them all about it. ” “ Are you sure you told them everything?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Then he asked: “ How did the Chief's men catch Joyce?"
hvd.hn1hwn	There ai n't noth- ing but some fool chemical junk in this truck, and it ai n't worth this row, is it?".
hvd.hn1hwn	They blindfolded him going in, but when he got away he saw it was a fine house on Central Park. ” “ They kept him prisoner for a week, eh?!!
hvd.hn1hwn	Tom, she isn ’ comin'here?
hvd.hn1hwn	Under- lings of Dos Andros'?
hvd.hn1hwn	Was the Chief going to pronounce a vengeful sentence for the killing of his henchman?
hvd.hn1hwn	Was the Gold- Killer affair, then, the simple working of some strange exotic curse?
hvd.hn1hwn	We what was that foreigner to Anne?
hvd.hn1hwn	Well, do you?
hvd.hn1hwn	Well, what's the harm in that?
hvd.hn1hwn	What admissions had they wrung from her after he had been pulled down from his listening post so roughly?
hvd.hn1hwn	What are you? ” He stared at her, with a primordial fear clutch- ing him.
hvd.hn1hwn	What can it all mean?"
hvd.hn1hwn	What did he say?"
hvd.hn1hwn	What did she know?
hvd.hn1hwn	What did the por- tent signify?
hvd.hn1hwn	What had brought the master of this wealth, built up by hard and grinding years of work and saving, to his tragic death?
hvd.hn1hwn	What in hell did they think of him anyway?
hvd.hn1hwn	What more happiness can you want?
hvd.hn1hwn	What were they like?
hvd.hn1hwn	What would they think of each other?
hvd.hn1hwn	What's the news? ” “ All set, ” replied the young interne.
hvd.hn1hwn	What's the trouble?
hvd.hn1hwn	Where did you go with him?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Who and what is he? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	Who had taken Anne: The Chief?
hvd.hn1hwn	Who is she, anyway? ” Bobby Merritt sat on a window sill and cast an inspecting glance upon Tom's best gray suit and shining new shoes.
hvd.hn1hwn	Who were the people pulling him down?
hvd.hn1hwn	Who's that with her?
hvd.hn1hwn	Why have we been such fools?
hvd.hn1hwn	Why shoul'n'I be here?
hvd.hn1hwn	Why? ” said Anne.
hvd.hn1hwn	Why?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Will you do your best for me? ” “ Of course,"she told him, stifling the innu- merable questionings that suddenly crowded in on her mind.
hvd.hn1hwn	Will you let me undertake the task?
hvd.hn1hwn	Will you tell me what it is?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Will you?"
hvd.hn1hwn	Wo n't you in- troduce us? ” Flash turned to Ware smilingly.
hvd.hn1hwn	Would Tom be led into the presence of a judge among criminals and be condemned with fantastic ceremony, and Anne, too?
hvd.hn1hwn	Would the morning bring success and a clearing of the mystery and of the shadow over Tom that was beginning to prove more than har- assing?
hvd.hn1hwn	Would they let him send word to Anne, he wondered?
hvd.hn1hwn	XXIV AM I THE GOLD- KILLER?
hvd.hn1hwn	You did n't know, did you, how heavily household cares sit on my shoulders?
hvd.hn1hwn	You knew that, did n't you? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	You said, did n't you, that only Chickie La Fontaine, Joyce and Morgan were near the truck at the time when you saw the struggle in the head- light?
hvd.hn1hwn	You understand, do n't you, that I can not have my father's name disgraced, and I hope that they will never find out?
hvd.hn1hwn	You wo n't have to see her again, will you? ” Ware laughed at her concern.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ About what?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Ai n't you Ware's pal?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ And if I do n't choose to obey them? ” Tom felt almost mastered.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ And that?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ And then what? ” Ware grew angry with the suspense.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ And then what?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ And what have you learned from him?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ And what must I do to make you like me?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Any news? ” Anne asked gayly.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Are you her maid? ” The little French girl led the way.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Are you hurt? ” Joyce became diplomatically solicitous of Morgan.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Bond stuff?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ But could it not be true that tey father fell into the clutches of some terrible woman?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ But what evidence have you of this, Tom?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ But where can he be? ” He understood the misgivings that were in her mind.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ But, Tom, ” she asked, “ who is the Gold- Killer?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Chickie's not comin'here?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Could you get up, dear?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Did he hear anything interesting from the robbers? ” Ware asked.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Did he say anything about the night on the Plank Road?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Did that feliow give you anything?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Did you get the number of the car?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Did you give him one of those red flowers? ” Tom rushed on recklessly.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Do n't let Chickie think you like her, will you?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Do you ever hear anything about any of them? ” His voice became domineering.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Do you remember just what he said to Anne-Miss Rice, I mean? ” Ware was seeking relief from his bewilderment by questioning the maid.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Do you think anybody will stop an ambulance because there's screaming inside?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Does n't it all seem plain now?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Hav'li'l'somethin'? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Heart's all right; come now, how do you feel? ” For an instant, she said nothing.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Herring or chopped chicken livers?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ How about me? ” Tom joked.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ How can I ask you to do a thing that may mean danger and even death to you?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ How is Miss Rice? ” he demanded nervously of the butler.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ How long did you know Rice?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ How's my little Ware/ hardware?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ I always feed them in the kitchen; it seems more like home, does n't it? ” she explained to Joyce and Ware.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ I like her! ” “ Whom do you mean? ” Ware demanded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Is Mr. Dos Andros waiting?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ It's not Herman Rutchers, the neurologist? ” Ware asked.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Just what sort of stuff is it?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Married?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Oh, he drove the car. ”"A chauffeur?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Only ca n't you tell me something? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Or your archangel? ”"I'm not saying."
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Perhaps you are mistaken about Morgan's WHAT ABOUT JOYCE?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Pleasant little fellow, is n't he? ” observed Dos Andros.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Scared?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ So you're getting serious, are you? ” Morgan got up and kicked his chair away.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ That big gun the Gold- Killer got?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ The one who was coughing?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Then you think that they killed him- an un- derworld gang? ” “ Nobody could have killed him like that if he had resisted.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ There is something about Dr. Rutchers that I feel I should tell you; but it's very difficult. ” “ Difficult? ” he laughed.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Tom, what is the matter with you?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Tonight? ” Morgan came forward.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Was anybody jealous of Rice? ”.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Well, ” he demanded, “ is Dos Andros here? ” She nodded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Well, ” he demanded,"of what shall I talk now?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What about the job, Morgan?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What are you thinking about? ” Chickie stood before him sarcastic.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What became of the man who came to the door?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What could be a greater lark? ” he assured her.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What did you mean the other night at Bridges'?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What did you think it was?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you mean? ” Tom demanded; but Anne shook her head.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you mean? ” Ware demanded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you mean? ” demanded Ware.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you think this park is?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you want with it? ” Ware was tor- mented by the puzzle of the chemical.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you want with me? ” he shouted with the rage of a man cornered.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What do you want? ” he demanded as indig- nantly as he could.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What does it all mean? ” she gasped.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What have I been doing? ” he muttered, dazed and walking as though he were in a dream.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What is his name? ” Ware felt the earth shaking under him.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What is the meaning of all this? ” Tom glared.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What is the meaning of this great friendli- ness?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What is this all about? ” Tom protested angrily.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What kind of flower is that? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What makes you think that?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What murderous musician? ” Tom turned quickly.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What next, Tom? ” She straightened up, smil- ing bravely.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What right have you to be jealous? ” she de- manded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What'll I do? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What's that woman got to do with it? ” “ A lot! ” said the dominant male and pulled Anne to him again in spite of her protests.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What's the matter with you? ” he grumbled.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What's the matter with you?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ What's the plan? ” the tall, blond Harty de- manded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ When do I get out of this? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Where can you sell molium for a big price?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Where did you get that animal, Miss Peter- son? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Where does it grow?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Where have you been? ” His face was set with emotion.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Where is Dos Andros? ” came in breathless tones from Ware at the other end of the wire.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who are you?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who are you? ” Ware faced him, his long jaw moving with wrath.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who did? ” he shouted.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who lives here? ” Anne demanded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who lives here? ” she demanded again.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who was he?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who was the other fellow? ” he continued mechanically.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who ’re you going to prescribe for in those merry bandages? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who's going to bother us here?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Who-?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Why do n't the police come? ” he demanded in petulant tones.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Why do you want to know that? ” The ques- tion snapped at her as he rose abruptly.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Why have we been abducted? ” Ware de- manded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Why have we been brought here? ” the young interne demanded again.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Why?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Why? ” She looked up at him, astonished by his agitation.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Will you answer me? ” Ware's anxiety whipped him to a pitch of exasperation.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Will you give it to me? ” PROHIBITION RUM 157 deep and quiet.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ Yes, ” Anne told him,"He's quite famous, is n't he?"
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You are going out sherlocking? ” Joyce de- manded.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You did not know John Rice? ” Ware stepped back aghast and looked at her as though she were a lunatic.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You do n't get. ” “ What do you mean? ” Ware gasped.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You got us wrong, ai n't you?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You think you're foxy, do n't you, boy? ” Ware stopped grinning.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You will give me the privilege? ” he repeated, looking into her eyes.
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You're not going to be frightened, are you, dear?
hvd.hn1hwn	“ You're the doctor, are n't you? ” she asked.

coo.31924013481522	Is he a complicated character?
coo.31924013481522	Is he all right? ” asked Captain Rowley, nodding in the direction of his vanishing son- in- law. coo.31924013481522 Is it the usual thing?"
coo.31924013481522	Shall we stay till the last week in April?
coo.31924013481522	Well, my dear father,put in Janet when there was a pause, “ if you can not stay now, when will you come to dine and stay a day or two?

coo.31924013481522	237 “ What do you wish, dear Randal? ” she whispered softly, while her heart beat to suffocation.

coo.31924013481522	Could n't you send for your habit? ” “ No, it is of no use, ” said Janet, shaking her head.

coo.31924013481522	Whom would you suggest? ” 204 A CHOICE OF EVILS.
coo.31924013481522	Why did n't you?
coo.31924013481522	Why do not fellows see the wisdom of abdicating when they can not guide their own team — to say nothing of public affairs?"
coo.31924013481522	Why do you ask? ” “ I can hardly say, but he does n't seem up to con- cert pitch.
coo.31924013481522	Why not get them ready made?"
coo.31924013481522	Why, Janet, what's the matter?
coo.31924013481522	Will you- can you love me?"
coo.31924013481522	Would you like another? — some poetry.
coo.31924013481522	Would you like to read it?"
coo.31924013481522	You are a responsible being, decide for your- self. ” “ Does he wish me to stay here? ” thought Janet, greatly racked by her own uncertainty.
coo.31924013481522	You are not sorry you've promised to marry Palliser?
coo.31924013481522	You ca n't think how wonderful-- “ I should like to know what good these out- of- the- way useless books can do you? ” interrupted Captain Rowley.
coo.31924013481522	You can not go alone?"
coo.31924013481522	You remem- ber the washed- out cotton you first saw me in, Randal? ” “ Yes.
coo.31924013481522	You remember what a white, weary, worn sort of fellow he seemed at that Christmas kick- up he gave a couple of years ago?
coo.31924013481522	You will like it sometimes, will you not, my child? ” “ Yes, often- often, ” murmured Janet, kissing him.
coo.31924013481522	You will write to me every day, as I will to you?
coo.31924013481522	You'll take care of yourself then?"
coo.31924013481522	Your hair is very well done up?"
coo.31924013481522	and looks years younger than I do — hey? ” “ Oh, no!"
coo.31924013481522	and when my brother comes back( he will only be a few days away) you will also come to us? ” “ Thanks, yes.
coo.31924013481522	are you so faithless as to leave me during the last days of my stay here?
coo.31924013481522	by my queeni Did you think me a disagreeable brute to- night, Janet? ”"A brute!
coo.31924013481522	do you remember the Christmas before last, when I kissed you under the mistletoe at Mervyn Hall?
coo.31924013481522	it's all right. ” “ Will you come and sit under the trees, Lord Darrell? ” asked Janet.
coo.31924013481522	my dear father, why did you ask him?
coo.31924013481522	pray do! ” “ Luncheon ready, Janet?"
coo.31924013481522	secrets, Janet? ” said Palliser.
coo.31924013481522	should be quite ready to walk or drive with you when you wanted me. ” “ Where shall you find a teacher?
coo.31924013481522	tell me, dined?"
coo.31924013481522	unworthy of your affection, and Janet, you do love me a little?"
coo.31924013481522	where are you going? ” coming to sit on the arm of his chair.
coo.31924013481522	would you ruin your feet?
coo.31924013481522	would you treat me so scurvily as to let me eat alone?"
coo.31924013481522	you do n't think my dear father a bore? ” in a tone of dismay.
coo.31924013481522	“ Allow me to see you to your carriage? ” he re- turned with icy politeness, and followed them from the room.
coo.31924013481522	“ And how is Captain Rowley? ” asked Palliser, taking his stand on the hearth- rug.
coo.31924013481522	“ And so young Winyard is fairly off, at last? ” re- sumed the inquisitor, addressing Janet,"and a good thing, too!
coo.31924013481522	“ And why do you invariably escape, or try to escape, when I want to talk to you?
coo.31924013481522	“ Are there a great many of them?
coo.31924013481522	“ Are you staying here? ” asked the elder lady as she shook hands with Janet.
coo.31924013481522	“ But you too will be lonely, dear Dad, if I am away? ” “ I sha n't mind for a little while, ” he returned.
coo.31924013481522	“ Do I show my annoyance so unguardedly? ” he asked, his countenance clearing a little.
coo.31924013481522	“ Do n't you care about it now? ” “ I suppose I do not enjoy anything so much now.
coo.31924013481522	“ Do you believe I ever laugh at what interests you?
coo.31924013481522	“ Do you think Lady Saville has gone to bed? ” asked Janet at last.
coo.31924013481522	“ Do you think me a humbug?
coo.31924013481522	“ Except read, eh? ” said Palliser, “ and that atones for everything."
coo.31924013481522	“ Have you ever read it, dear Dad?
coo.31924013481522	“ Have you had tea? ” “ Thank you, yes. ” Palliser rang, and ordered the tea to be removed.
coo.31924013481522	“ How do you find time for it all? ” asked Janet.
coo.31924013481522	“ How do you know?
coo.31924013481522	“ I am going to see my potatoes planted and I ca n't put it off. ”"Well, Friday then? ” “ Thank you; yes, if it is fine.
coo.31924013481522	“ I suppose Lady Saville will present me?"
coo.31924013481522	“ I suppose you can ride? ” “ I am not sure,"returned Janet.
coo.31924013481522	“ I suppose you found Langford rather dull after the strong excitement of Town life? ” said Palliser, watching her through his half- closed eyes.
coo.31924013481522	“ I suppose you would like to have such a place yourself? ” “ Oh, no!
coo.31924013481522	“ I thought you were a little in awe of her?"
coo.31924013481522	“ I wish you would let me try, Randal? ” said Janet imploringly.
coo.31924013481522	“ Is it necessary to have a very large one? ” “ By no means.
coo.31924013481522	“ It is a little unjust to be disgusted with women because two or three are bad, is it not? ” “ Of course it is!
coo.31924013481522	“ It seems so impossible! ” “ What — that I should love you, sweet one?
coo.31924013481522	“ My dear child? ” cried the former, when Janet sug- gested leaving on the following day, “ what an idea!
coo.31924013481522	“ So Lady Saville is dining at Castle Clare? ” he said.
coo.31924013481522	“ The East?
coo.31924013481522	“ The Vicar's eldest boy has just gone out to India, has n't he?"
coo.31924013481522	“ There is a wonderful air of repose about you, do you know?
coo.31924013481522	“ To the pier? ” “ No!
coo.31924013481522	“ Very well! ” said Janet,"and these splendid- looking big books? ” “ They are volumes of history and biography, then travels and geography.
coo.31924013481522	“ Want to go up to Town with you? ” repeated Janet, feeling almost dazed by the question.
coo.31924013481522	“ Well, Janet, will you come to- morrow?
coo.31924013481522	“ What amuses you? ” he asked.
coo.31924013481522	“ What are you about?
coo.31924013481522	“ What are you going to do this morning, Randal? ” she asked one fine mild day, more like the end of April than of March.
coo.31924013481522	“ What can it possibly matter? ” exclaimed Palliser.
coo.31924013481522	“ What colour do you call it? ”"Eau- de- Nile.
coo.31924013481522	“ What did you quarrel about? ” asked Lady Saville, handing her cup to be refilled.
coo.31924013481522	“ What do you think of Beachurst? ” asked Palliser on one of the rare occasions when he dined tête- à- tête with his father- in- law.
coo.31924013481522	“ What is it then? ” coming over and leaning on the back of her chair.
coo.31924013481522	“ What profound subject are you studying now?"
coo.31924013481522	“ What shall I do?
coo.31924013481522	“ What's the matter, my girl?
coo.31924013481522	“ Who- me?
coo.31924013481522	“ Who? ” asked Janet, immensely surprised.
coo.31924013481522	“ Why are you so disagreeable, Mary? ” whispered Janet as they left the room together.
coo.31924013481522	“ Why did you not say how nice he is, Dad? ” ex- claimed Janet when he had driven off in the dog- cart which had been waiting for him.
coo.31924013481522	“ Why do you not tell me?
coo.31924013481522	“ Why does Mr. Palliser dislike Mrs. Richard so much? ” asked Janet, moving to a seat near Lady Saville.
coo.31924013481522	“ Why will you not stay till Monday, dear father? ” she asked the morning he was going to leave.
coo.31924013481522	“ Why, Gertrude! ” she exclaimed, trying hard to speak lightly, “ what has happened that you should be taken so frightfully prophetic?
coo.31924013481522	“ Why, what is this about?
coo.31924013481522	“ Why?
coo.31924013481522	“ Why?
coo.31924013481522	“ Why?"
coo.31924013481522	“ Will you distribute this among your poor people? ” Janet's eyes sparkled.
coo.31924013481522	“ Will you not stay and entertain my cavaliers? ” asked Lady Saville, finding Janet at her heels when she had left the room.
coo.31924013481522	“ Will you speak to me? ” whispered Palliser.
coo.31924013481522	“ Would you like to ride? ”"Oh, yes, immensely."
coo.31924013481522	“ You do n't object to a dog- cart, Miss Rowley? ”"Oh, no!
coo.31924013481522	“ You have been at Mervyn, I think, Lady Darrell? ” “ Yes, a long time ago, when my brother was engaged to Gertrude.
hvd.hn1rbw	Going any further? hvd.hn1rbw How many proposals since the summer?'
hvd.hn1rbw	If there is one you might have ridden over there any day these eighteen months; but I never heard you had a friend there, did I?' hvd.hn1rbw Is it — is it Ted Miller?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Oh, we are allowed to play four seasons, do n't you know?' hvd.hn1rbw Shall I sweeten the tea or not?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Some jokers are easily pleased, we know, and you're one; but what can be the attraction in that dull hole, Seth?' hvd.hn1rbw Then what am I to do?'
hvd.hn1rbw	There has been no inquiry at all about the things, then?' hvd.hn1rbw Were you always on the stage?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'D'ye hear all that, Stumpy?
hvd.hn1rbw	'Dare you?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'I think this is called the Seven- mile hut?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'I'm glad to hear it,'said Mr. Cunningham approvingly, ‘ for it's the very thing you do n't do, is n't it, Maud?
hvd.hn1rbw	'In whose honour, pray, is all this din?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'Is Mr. Adeane in?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'Is Mr. Macdonald here?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'Is it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'Is that all?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'Is that the novel?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'Is there some one you care for after all, Midge, dear?'
hvd.hn1rbw	'It was you, then,'said she,'who made Labrano send for it in haste last Saturday?
hvd.hn1rbw	'Will you look round again to see the whim at work?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* But you expect him?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* Can it make any difference to you?
hvd.hn1rbw	* Do you think that?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* Forgive you?
hvd.hn1rbw	* How about the Professor?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* Must I remind you of some of them?
hvd.hn1rbw	* News?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* Putting what, Midge?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* That is where you saw it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* Then why do it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* You really want an answer?'
hvd.hn1rbw	* You've heard the news, Jim? ’ were Parker's UNDER TWO SKIES first words.
hvd.hn1rbw	114 UNDER TWO SKIES Are n't you hungry?'
hvd.hn1rbw	236 UNDER TWO SKIES You have taken it up again?
hvd.hn1rbw	A flirt she is, of a surety, but why heartless, and why not a nice girl?
hvd.hn1rbw	A moment later he had laid SERGEANT SETH 305 • “ You stole the paper from my verandah- eh?
hvd.hn1rbw	AN IDLE SINGER 187'Is it so popular?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Added Ami?
hvd.hn1rbw	And Jim said that night to his mate:"Stumpy, you recollect what I was saying to you not so long since about wimmin?
hvd.hn1rbw	And as for us, we shall be delighted; sha'n't we, Barbara?'
hvd.hn1rbw	And if he was to come up here, as I have come, you could take him on, could n't you, as you offer to take me?'
hvd.hn1rbw	And people will talk about him?'
hvd.hn1rbw	And why strive to make sense of your sounds?
hvd.hn1rbw	And will you tell me the moment you hear anything?'
hvd.hn1rbw	And yet — would he like that?
hvd.hn1rbw	And you know all about him — the whole story?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Anything?
hvd.hn1rbw	Are you referring to yourself and Elaine?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Are you sure?'
hvd.hn1rbw	At last she said:'Has he distinguished himself so very much, my dear?'
hvd.hn1rbw	But I do n't see who it's by?'
hvd.hn1rbw	But one day, when the floods were over, the ser- geant came across her suddenly, and she asked him without preamble:'Do you think he is dead?'
hvd.hn1rbw	But what station is it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	But who is she?'
hvd.hn1rbw	But why did he not shout up to her his safety?
hvd.hn1rbw	But you will forget all about this now, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1rbw	But,'said Nettleship, ‘ nothing came of it, you say?'
hvd.hn1rbw	But- but which vase?'
hvd.hn1rbw	By the way, Adeane,'he said airily,"did n't you use to write for the Spider?
hvd.hn1rbw	Call this the bush! — where are the trees?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Can you bear it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Can you guess why?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Can you see anything?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Did n't he say so himself?
hvd.hn1rbw	Did the absurd creature mean to leave her sitting there all day?
hvd.hn1rbw	Did you ever guess that my mistress and your sergeant was ac- quainted before?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Did you know the owner, then?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Did you write it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Did you, for instance?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Do n't you know them?
hvd.hn1rbw	Do you know, I begin to think you are as bad as other men, and very, very vain after all?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Do you remember my telling you,'said he, when I last had the privilege of lecturing you, that you sang iniquitously well?
hvd.hn1rbw	Do you?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Does it make any difference?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Done any rabbiting before?
hvd.hn1rbw	Even so, should I not be miles beneath you still?'
hvd.hn1rbw	For what can one do after so long?'
hvd.hn1rbw	For what?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Got any tea?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Have you done something naughty, father?'
hvd.hn1rbw	He wanted nothing more — not that cricket demanded any particu- lar training, like the Sports — but what might he get for Mrs. Mʻllwraith?
hvd.hn1rbw	He was lucky in his work and lucky in his love — and what can the gods do more for you?
hvd.hn1rbw	Heard what?'
hvd.hn1rbw	How do you know I am strong?'
hvd.hn1rbw	How goes the damper?'
hvd.hn1rbw	How should I have remembered you?
hvd.hn1rbw	I did n't say anything about a review, did I?'
hvd.hn1rbw	I thought I loved him, God knows I did, but I you speak to me?
hvd.hn1rbw	I thought we were to be such friends? ” Really, Midge, it would be well worth your while!'
hvd.hn1rbw	I want to marry Elaine, and Elaine wants to marry me Why should you object?'
hvd.hn1rbw	III • Where did this come from?'
hvd.hn1rbw	If you had been bitten,'said Barbara, dropping his hand,'do you know that it would have made me the most miserable woman in the Colony?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Is he well?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Is it agreed?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Is n't it good enough?
hvd.hn1rbw	It was only a little bit of a solo, of two dozen bars or so; then why not?
hvd.hn1rbw	It was with much apparent preoccupation that he asked: Is Mr. Deverell the boss there now?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Let's see — how many's that?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Lovatt said that Seth's being in the force was no news to him — for was n't Trooper Whitty a public hero?
hvd.hn1rbw	May I stop as I am?
hvd.hn1rbw	Meat?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Miss Jenny broke it at last in a whisper- Did you know the — the danger — before you went down?'
hvd.hn1rbw	My dear Midge,'said Nunthorp, with a sudden access of paternal gravity, do n't you think it about time that somebody came in and carried his bat?'
hvd.hn1rbw	NETTLESHIP'S SCORE 61* But why on earth not ask him, when we know him so well?'
hvd.hn1rbw	NETTLESHIP'S SCORE 65'Elaine,'said her mother, after another and a longer pause,'will there be anything about him in the papers to- morrow?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Nettleship?'
hvd.hn1rbw	No?
hvd.hn1rbw	No?
hvd.hn1rbw	Oh, is he dead?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Oh, tell me, Seth, that you think so too?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Oyster patties, salad, strawberries, an ice, champagne?
hvd.hn1rbw	Parker, will you be so kind as to address this to the young lady that was staying here- Miss Howard, was n't her name?
hvd.hn1rbw	Pray, what have I done?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Shall I introduce you?
hvd.hn1rbw	She heard some one asking:'Did you say the Spider, sir?'
hvd.hn1rbw	She was making — is it difficult to guess? — something or other for her house.
hvd.hn1rbw	Since you know Barbara — a rum coincidence that you wo n't mind?
hvd.hn1rbw	So this is the best book you ever read in your life, eh?'
hvd.hn1rbw	THE NOTORIOUS MISS ANSTRUTHER 137* Any more scalps?'
hvd.hn1rbw	THE NOTORIOUS MISS ANSTRUTHER 145 You've got it down?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Take a fill from my pouch, will you?'
hvd.hn1rbw	That little Indian vase has been taken by a lady customer, on approval —-'"On approval, eh?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Then how does it happen that you are · playing for your College still?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Then ill?
hvd.hn1rbw	Then perhaps you're going to make a different answer at last?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Then who is the owner?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Then will some one have to go to the bottom?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Then you're one of the gentlemen from Dandong Station, sir?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Then,'said Mrs. MʻIlwraith naively,'why do n't he come back and sit with us?'
hvd.hn1rbw	There were, of course, sad circumstances in his return, and 19 SERGEANT SETH 291 Of what?'
hvd.hn1rbw	They're in at service now, but they'll be out directly; and then, Seth- She's there, of course?'
hvd.hn1rbw	To the House?
hvd.hn1rbw	UNDER TWO SKIES You are n't going on the booze again, Jim- already??
hvd.hn1rbw	UNDER TWO SKIES You are n't going on the booze again, Jim- already??
hvd.hn1rbw	Was I looking like that?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Was I?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Was Laura dead too?
hvd.hn1rbw	Was it you that guyed her book, Adeane?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Was she a friend of the organist — of Lovatt's intended?
hvd.hn1rbw	Was she waiting back for her?
hvd.hn1rbw	Was this a common bush- man, by the way?
hvd.hn1rbw	Waters,'Annie said,'shall I tell you a secret?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What am I to do with him?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What are you doing?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What can I do but sail at once?
hvd.hn1rbw	What can it be?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What do you think o'that, sir?
hvd.hn1rbw	What else could he do?
hvd.hn1rbw	What in the name of fortune are those things over your head, my dear boy?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What is it?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What is the division about, you ask, Elaine?
hvd.hn1rbw	What makes you think that?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What was it you did?'
hvd.hn1rbw	What will he do to me, do you think?
hvd.hn1rbw	What's wrong?
hvd.hn1rbw	When had papa any hobby but one?
hvd.hn1rbw	Where did you know him?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Where had he gone?
hvd.hn1rbw	Where have you been?
hvd.hn1rbw	Which is her room?
hvd.hn1rbw	Who could fancy Barbara as schoolmissis?
hvd.hn1rbw	Who ever does?
hvd.hn1rbw	Who'd have dreamt then that Barbara Lyon would clear out of the station to work for her living?
hvd.hn1rbw	Who,'he asked her, as they managed to regain possession of their former corner in the conservatory,'is your darked- haired, pale- faced friend?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Why did he hurry home from abroad, after six months, when he went for eighteen, if it was not that supplies ceased?
hvd.hn1rbw	Why did n't you blow it in again?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Why did she never encounter the booted bushman who had seen better days?
hvd.hn1rbw	Why do they want to go and propose?
hvd.hn1rbw	Why do they?
hvd.hn1rbw	Why not?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Why on earth do n't you come and sit on your own blankets?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Why?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Will he kill me?
hvd.hn1rbw	Will you come out and see something?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Will you go back to her?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Will you keep on having them searched, please?
hvd.hn1rbw	Would her next be nominally to Follet direct, in answer, or would she thank him in a message?
hvd.hn1rbw	You are hurt, you are mortified; but frankly, admit that you are not heart- broken?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You are not going to- night, papa?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You could give him work, as you say you'll give me, could n't you?
hvd.hn1rbw	You had such a jolly bad look a moment ago; had n't he, Barbara?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You have kept back nothing?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You know Mr. Nettleship, of course?
hvd.hn1rbw	You mean he was in love with her?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You must be – let me see- twenty- what?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You rule Mr. MʻIlwraith in such matters with an absolute rule, do you not?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You wish to know?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You would n't have thought it, would you?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You write to each other still, do n't you, Midge?'
hvd.hn1rbw	You'll break it to him, father?
hvd.hn1rbw	You'll let me meet the coach, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1rbw	Your reason-?'
hvd.hn1rbw	Your voice is heavenly, of course; but why pronounce your words so distinctly?
hvd.hn1rbw	she asked, shuddering — down this endless awful rope?'
hvd.hn1rbw	· Are you Roberto?'
hvd.hn1rbw	‘ How do you work a whim?'
hvd.hn1rbw	‘ Shall I find her the same?'
hvd.hn1rbw	“ And this has really been in your family for a century, Mrs. M'Ilwraith?'

hvd.hn1nge	And you have found out that the future tenant is to be"Lynn Yeames? hvd.hn1nge Are n't you coming with me?"
hvd.hn1nge	Are you greatly in debt, Lynn?
hvd.hn1nge	But I could be trustee to the child's fortune, and leave her guardianship to Miss Dalrymple, could n't I?
hvd.hn1nge	But how are we to get rid of her and all her boxes and her library and things? hvd.hn1nge But she did n't go, did she?"
hvd.hn1nge	But the key was in?
hvd.hn1nge	But the old cocoanut — why did n't he interfere?
hvd.hn1nge	But the poor guinea- hen, what became of her?
hvd.hn1nge	But why should he believe himself to be his uncle's heir?
hvd.hn1nge	But you have heard of the arrangement Awdrey is going to make?
hvd.hn1nge	Can you forgive me?
hvd.hn1nge	Can you show me what the papers were like?
hvd.hn1nge	Can you stand her?
hvd.hn1nge	Did Mr. Yeames accompany you?
hvd.hn1nge	Did Mr. Yeames — er — st ill seem ill at ease, may I ask?
hvd.hn1nge	Did anything occur to make him leave the room?
hvd.hn1nge	Did he continue his search after leaving the room?
hvd.hn1nge	Did he describe the prescription?
hvd.hn1nge	Did he know that this will existed?
hvd.hn1nge	Did he make any other remark about the con- sulting room? hvd.hn1nge Did you go in there for any purpose?"
hvd.hn1nge	Do n't you know that Lynn Yearaes is in love with her?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you know of one, doctor?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you know what he used to do at the hos- pital?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you know what it was he had lost?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you know why I'did not turn up,'as you call it?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you mean that I ought to marry, Tony?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think all girls are either silly or mer- cenary?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think he loves Mr. Yeames to such an extent as that?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think he means to marry her? hvd.hn1nge Do you think he takes any interest in me?"
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think she would have me?
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think she would?
hvd.hn1nge	Do — do — do I understand,she faltered,"that he has left nothing to my son but fifty pounds?"
hvd.hn1nge	Dr. Awdrey was not at home, I believe?
hvd.hn1nge	Dr. Awdrey wished the will leaving property to him to be revoked?
hvd.hn1nge	During the half hour he was there did you hear any particular sound? hvd.hn1nge Fifty thousand, eh?"
hvd.hn1nge	Good gracious, what have I done? hvd.hn1nge Have you anything more to add to this proposi- tion?"
hvd.hn1nge	Have you heard any- thing lately from Miss Kite?
hvd.hn1nge	He does not wish to take the responsibility of anything you do?
hvd.hn1nge	He had been watching at Mr. Flexmore's bedside all night, I believe?
hvd.hn1nge	He looked round in surprise, and seeing nothing but the cocoanut, he said —'I beg your pardon, did you speak?'
hvd.hn1nge	He was going on to Paris, I suppose?
hvd.hn1nge	His love?
hvd.hn1nge	How am I to reply to that thrust?
hvd.hn1nge	How did you account for its being there?
hvd.hn1nge	How do you do, sir?
hvd.hn1nge	How do you mean to get straight, as you call it?
hvd.hn1nge	How long did you stay in the room?
hvd.hn1nge	How long will you be before you take that thing up to the house to be signed?
hvd.hn1nge	How many hundreds do you think?
hvd.hn1nge	How should you like to live in it?
hvd.hn1nge	How would you do that?
hvd.hn1nge	How?
hvd.hn1nge	How?
hvd.hn1nge	I do n't understand you; what do you mean? hvd.hn1nge I suppose a man could live here for a couple of hundred a year?"
hvd.hn1nge	I, a lawyer, whose business it is to weigh both sides of a question and decide impartially? hvd.hn1nge In what condition was Mr. Flexmore then?"
hvd.hn1nge	Is he sufficiently confident in himself to work it on his own responsibility, or will he work it at your risk?
hvd.hn1nge	Is it this poisoning case, sir?
hvd.hn1nge	Is it vanity and nothing else that makes one delight in doing good?
hvd.hn1nge	Is it, though?
hvd.hn1nge	Is your master at home?
hvd.hn1nge	Made clear to her? hvd.hn1nge May I ask why you have thought it necessary to ask me a second time?"
hvd.hn1nge	Miss Dalrymple? hvd.hn1nge Mr. Yeames?
hvd.hn1nge	Mrs. Yeames, I suppose, has given you the benefit of a call?
hvd.hn1nge	No — how should I?
hvd.hn1nge	No; but there is no necessity to break the en- gagement?
hvd.hn1nge	Not Aunt Yeames, nor Cousin Lynn — not any- body?
hvd.hn1nge	Not I; but you're not sorry, I suppose, that you did not get here in time?
hvd.hn1nge	Not before?
hvd.hn1nge	Not quite so much virtuous indignation about, Keene, eh?
hvd.hn1nge	Not while I live — but in time to come when I am gone? hvd.hn1nge Nothing like the crash of a falling bottle?"
hvd.hn1nge	Oh, have n't you got- all that over yet?
hvd.hn1nge	Oh, is this true, dear — is it true?
hvd.hn1nge	Oh, you approve of his marrying Miss Dalrymple, do you?
hvd.hn1nge	Oh, you've found her out, eh? hvd.hn1nge Prove his innocence — how do you propose to do that?"
hvd.hn1nge	Should n't think he'd last long, though; should you? hvd.hn1nge Surely you have not suffered that child to choose her own style?"
hvd.hn1nge	That is not all, is it?
hvd.hn1nge	That was a nice old cocoanut — very clever too, I think, do n't you?
hvd.hn1nge	The door communicating with the consulting- room was open?
hvd.hn1nge	The friend is Dr. Awdrey?
hvd.hn1nge	The previous night Dr. Awdrey was absent from home?
hvd.hn1nge	Then where's the difficulty? hvd.hn1nge Then why have n't you proposed to her?"
hvd.hn1nge	Then you agree with me that he would be a suitable husband for Miss Dalrymple?
hvd.hn1nge	There was a fox then, eh? hvd.hn1nge To what use has the rascal put that knowledge?"
hvd.hn1nge	Was Mr. Yeames in the room all the time?
hvd.hn1nge	Was he alone at that time?
hvd.hn1nge	Was he in a state of unconsciousness at that time or not?
hvd.hn1nge	Was it the doctor's idea, or yours?
hvd.hn1nge	Was that paper found?
hvd.hn1nge	Was there anything peculiar in his manner?
hvd.hn1nge	We are not worth much if we do not, you think?
hvd.hn1nge	Well, what difference would that have made? hvd.hn1nge Well, what has he done lately to give you that opinion, hey?"
hvd.hn1nge	Well, what is it, George?
hvd.hn1nge	Well, what is to be done about it? hvd.hn1nge Well,"said I, when we had got a hundred yards on our way,"what do you think of Mrs. Yeames now?"
hvd.hn1nge	Well?
hvd.hn1nge	What do you mean by the bottle papers?
hvd.hn1nge	What do you mean? hvd.hn1nge What does he want me for?"
hvd.hn1nge	What does that matter? hvd.hn1nge What else occurred to your recollection?"
hvd.hn1nge	What followed?
hvd.hn1nge	What for?
hvd.hn1nge	What has he been talking about?
hvd.hn1nge	What hour was it when you first saw him that day?
hvd.hn1nge	What is to be done?
hvd.hn1nge	What made me suppose it?
hvd.hn1nge	What time was it when you were thrown from the gig?
hvd.hn1nge	What was he doing when you left him?
hvd.hn1nge	What would you have him do?
hvd.hn1nge	What's that old lawyer doing there?
hvd.hn1nge	What's the matter with him?
hvd.hn1nge	What, do you think she likes me?
hvd.hn1nge	What,said he,"does not a single man live at his ease?"
hvd.hn1nge	When Mr. Yeames called, you showed him into the sitting- room?
hvd.hn1nge	When did you first hear of a bottle being broken?
hvd.hn1nge	When do you think he will turn out — the earliest date?
hvd.hn1nge	When you left Flexmore House the second time, about half- past one, where did you go?
hvd.hn1nge	When?
hvd.hn1nge	Where did you wait?
hvd.hn1nge	Who's there?
hvd.hn1nge	Why did n't you tell me at once?
hvd.hn1nge	Why do you say that?
hvd.hn1nge	Why not? hvd.hn1nge Why not?"
hvd.hn1nge	Why not?
hvd.hn1nge	Why on earth did n't you write a word or two to us?
hvd.hn1nge	Why? hvd.hn1nge Why?
hvd.hn1nge	Why?
hvd.hn1nge	Will he send me away from you? hvd.hn1nge With respect to the piece of paper you mis- laid; have you any objection to stating what it was?"
hvd.hn1nge	Would n't mind marrying the old man if she had the chance, eh?
hvd.hn1nge	You are sure of that?
hvd.hn1nge	You are sure of your fact?
hvd.hn1nge	You did not promise any given sum?
hvd.hn1nge	You did not refuse his offer, did you?
hvd.hn1nge	You have seen your mamma, of course?
hvd.hn1nge	You know that the consulting- room adjoins the sitting- room?
hvd.hn1nge	You thought right to tell Dr. Awdrey of the pro- vision I had made?
hvd.hn1nge	You were in the service of Dr. Awdrey, I be- lieve, at the time of Mr. Flexmore's death?
hvd.hn1nge	You will admit that in either case he intended this money to go to the man Miss Dalrymple should marry?
hvd.hn1nge	You'll be just like the clever cat in Puss in Boots who got the ogre to turn from a lion into a mouse and then gobbled it up, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1nge	la man of strong prejudices?
hvd.hn1nge	#* • «** What is there to add?
hvd.hn1nge	39 •'That means that she knows how to look after Number One, I suppose?"
hvd.hn1nge	41"What does he come here for?
hvd.hn1nge	43"You have not encouraged your nephew's visits, have you, George?"
hvd.hn1nge	45"What on earth are you carting your library about for?"
hvd.hn1nge	Am I going to live with Doctor Awdrey?"
hvd.hn1nge	And not long afterwards I caught sight of the pair in the High WHICH IS THE JUDAS?
hvd.hn1nge	And what's to prevent you stepping in and making her your wife?"
hvd.hn1nge	Awdrey?"
hvd.hn1nge	Awdrey?"
hvd.hn1nge	Awdrey?"
hvd.hn1nge	Bax?"
hvd.hn1nge	Be that you, Muster Keene?"
hvd.hn1nge	Because she did not wish it to be known that her son had gone to Monaco, lest it might be inferred that he had gone there for pleasure?
hvd.hn1nge	But did she still love him?
hvd.hn1nge	But how could I undo the mischief?
hvd.hn1nge	But how was she to be weaned of this love- food, in order that Nurse Gertrude might in time return to her hospital?
hvd.hn1nge	But how would it end?
hvd.hn1nge	But the poison in the man's mouth — how are you going to explain that?"
hvd.hn1nge	But will she release him for that reason?
hvd.hn1nge	Did you ever read of heroism to beat this?
hvd.hn1nge	Do n't you see now?"
hvd.hn1nge	Do you know if Captain Ranger is at home?"
hvd.hn1nge	Do you know, George?"
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think he will succeed?"
hvd.hn1nge	Do you think of taking a farm?"
hvd.hn1nge	Does he know his danger?
hvd.hn1nge	FTER this I said to Flexmore —"Why on earth do n't you marry Miss Dal- rymple?"
hvd.hn1nge	For how could she explain the means by which her"that will shall be contested.- son had possessed himself with the knowledge of the affair?
hvd.hn1nge	Had I not reason to think so?"
hvd.hn1nge	Had she ever really loved him?
hvd.hn1nge	Had she not every reason to be pleased that she had found out the man's real character before marriage rather than after it?
hvd.hn1nge	Had she really loved Lynn?
hvd.hn1nge	Have you heard the name?"
hvd.hn1nge	Have you seen Lynn Yeames since his uncle's death?"
hvd.hn1nge	Have you settled where you will go when you leave hyah?"
hvd.hn1nge	How could 1 guess such a thing?"
hvd.hn1nge	How could I prove that he knew nothing about the will before his mother telegraphed to him after the reading of it?
hvd.hn1nge	How far am I from Mr. Flexmore's house?"
hvd.hn1nge	How is that little darling, George, dear?"
hvd.hn1nge	How long has he been your friend?"
hvd.hn1nge	How was I to warn Miss Dalrymple?
hvd.hn1nge	How's that?"
hvd.hn1nge	I asked her to come and live here How can I get rid of her?"
hvd.hn1nge	I can guess the rest, he had to clear out of the hospital?"
hvd.hn1nge	I can say you have put the matter in my hands — see?
hvd.hn1nge	I had said nothing about it to Awdrey, knowing WHICH IS THE JUDAS?
hvd.hn1nge	I have just come back from Flexmore House — you heard nothing there?"
hvd.hn1nge	I suppose you have not had time to call upon him?"
hvd.hn1nge	I warrant he's clever enough to keep his mother out of sight, eh?"
hvd.hn1nge	Is he conscious?"
hvd.hn1nge	Is it not one of the gravest responsibilities a man can take on himself — or a woman either, for that?"
hvd.hn1nge	Is n't it a great relief to you?"
hvd.hn1nge	Is that the way to break off this unfortunate engagement?"
hvd.hn1nge	Is that what you saw?"
hvd.hn1nge	It was easily understandable that Mr. Lynn Yeames would prefer the money all in his own hands in preference to WHICH IS THE JUDAS?
hvd.hn1nge	Keene?"
hvd.hn1nge	Keene?"
hvd.hn1nge	Laure ran up, threw her arms round my neck, and kissed me; and, still hugging me, she whispered —"You do n't forget what you promised?"
hvd.hn1nge	Lynn?"
hvd.hn1nge	May I tempt them to speak with a little cash, sir?"
hvd.hn1nge	Now in tidying up his room, had you occasion to go into the consulting- room?"
hvd.hn1nge	Now, then, how are you going about it?"
hvd.hn1nge	Of course you have not seen him?"
hvd.hn1nge	One week from to- day — you understand?"
hvd.hn1nge	Or was she grieving to think of that friend's disappointment when he should find that all he had done was of no avail?
hvd.hn1nge	Shall I turn back wi'ye?"
hvd.hn1nge	She laughed lightly and then said —"Well, whom shall we talk about?"
hvd.hn1nge	She looked thoughtfully before her for a minute, then she said —"Do you think he could ever be happy — in the ordinary sense of the word?"
hvd.hn1nge	She nodded, laughing; then she asked with the same secrecy—"But what is to be done with me?
hvd.hn1nge	She was a professional nurse, but — what do you think? — it turns out she is the niece of the Earl of Dunover!"
hvd.hn1nge	Then in a careless tone —"Who's this Miss Thingumbob the mater was talking about?"
hvd.hn1nge	Then, after a pause —"I suppose he's pretty warm?"
hvd.hn1nge	Then, turning to Nurse Gertrude, she said,"Have you made any plans with regard to yourself, Miss Dalrymple?
hvd.hn1nge	There was silence for a few minutes; then he said —"Can you give me an idea about how much the estate will bring in?"
hvd.hn1nge	There's no love- making yet a while — Nothing like an engagement?"
hvd.hn1nge	There's no time to be lost,"said L"Do you think he intends to marry her?"
hvd.hn1nge	WHICH 18 THE JUDAS?
hvd.hn1nge	WHICH IS THE JUDAS?
hvd.hn1nge	Was London not gay enough for him, that he must go on to Monaco for amusement?
hvd.hn1nge	Was anything missing from there?''
hvd.hn1nge	Was not scorn of such a base fellow enough to dry in its source the regretful tears that would have sprung in losing a lover?
hvd.hn1nge	Was this the wanton mischief of boys, or the sinister design of some one bent upon plunder?
hvd.hn1nge	Well, how about Lynn, whom she has brought up?"
hvd.hn1nge	What I do you think she meditates such a thing?"
hvd.hn1nge	What avail would be my single protest, now become a subject of public ridicule?
hvd.hn1nge	What do you find to eat here?'
hvd.hn1nge	What fish boiies?'
hvd.hn1nge	What is the matter?"
hvd.hn1nge	What is your opinion on the subject?"
hvd.hn1nge	What the deuce should make you suppose there was?"
hvd.hn1nge	What then?"
hvd.hn1nge	What'syour nextreason?"
hvd.hn1nge	When can I begin to blaze away?"
hvd.hn1nge	While I was looking after them, a colleague clapped me on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, nodding towards the two —"Which is the Judas?"
hvd.hn1nge	Who could see her and know her, and not love her?
hvd.hn1nge	Who is he?"
hvd.hn1nge	Who is she?
hvd.hn1nge	Who might that be?
hvd.hn1nge	Who was this Miss Dalrymple?
hvd.hn1nge	Why had she gone into a hospital as nurse?
hvd.hn1nge	Why had she told me that lie?
hvd.hn1nge	Why should Flexmore leave me all this money?"
hvd.hn1nge	Why?
hvd.hn1nge	Will he part us?"
hvd.hn1nge	Wo n't you come for a walk with me, and give me a lesson?'
hvd.hn1nge	Would it do, I asked myself, to let him know how his uncle intended to dispose of his money?
hvd.hn1nge	Yeames was sitting?"
hvd.hn1nge	Yeames?"
hvd.hn1nge	Yeames?"
hvd.hn1nge	Yeames?"
hvd.hn1nge	Yeames?"
hvd.hn1nge	Yeames?"
hvd.hn1nge	You do n't mean to say he has charmed you with his songs?"
hvd.hn1nge	You do not dispute the order of events as stated by Miss Dalrymple?"
hvd.hn1nge	You feel that you are wasting your time here — that's the fact, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1nge	You have not heard his name?"
hvd.hn1nge	You have spoken to him on this subject?"
hvd.hn1nge	You surely do n't think of living up to your income?"
hvd.hn1nge	You will stay with me always?"

chi.14486534	But I ca n’t be sure. ” “ How about Mista von Lertz? ” Mamette spoke the name with a tinge of hatred.

chi.14486534	Could it be pos- sible that he had made a mistake?
chi.14486534	Could it be possible that there was some good reason for her activities, other than interest in the Germans?
chi.14486534	Could it be that he was a “ forward shadow?”—the man who takes the risks of the Secret Service to aid some other man to gain evi- dence?
chi.14486534	Could she stop him?
chi.14486534	Did you get that?

chi.14486534	Now, Boy- Ed, where is Von Lertz to report? ” “ At the Hohenzollern Club. ” “ Then we'd better be strolling over.
chi.14486534	Now, Meyerson, what's the danger of this affair? ” “ Danger? ” the old scientist looked up with a little smile.
chi.14486534	Now, Meyerson, what's the danger of this affair? ” “ Danger? ” the old scientist looked up with a little smile.
chi.14486534	Now, regarding the Lusitania, when is it des- tined to sink? ” Bernstorff rummaged in some papers, at last to bring forth a code message.
chi.14486534	Oh, Albert, why were you so foolish?
chi.14486534	Or had she simply allowed kindness to intervene in a plot which otherwise would have meant his death?
chi.14486534	She was at the fire tonight. ” “ At the fire? ” Bailey stared.
chi.14486534	So you're the one who does the Des- perate Desmond act and rescues gentlemen in distress? ” “ Yes Mr. Grant.
chi.14486534	Suppose her message had not been understood and no watch had been placed on the alley?
chi.14486534	THE INVASION OF CANADA 233 “ Where — where are they? ” He reached for his hat and hurried around the counter.
chi.14486534	That also does not matter? ” “ Why should we care, ” Fay answered reck- lessly.
chi.14486534	That let us put all our work on the dangerous part of the yards. ” “ Secret Service men? ” Dixie Mason started.
chi.14486534	That wireless controller must be in absolute working order — understand?
chi.14486534	The maid stared stupidly, “ Man?
chi.14486534	The other was Dick Stewart, member of the Crim- inology Club, beginning the chase that was to end — where?
chi.14486534	The sta- 236 THE EAGLE'S EYE get his men to Exeter to stop this invasion?
chi.14486534	The telephone?
chi.14486534	Then one of them said something about the fleet, and I got nervous — ” “ The fleet? ” Grant stared.
chi.14486534	Then what happens? ” “ A great deal, ” laughed Karl Boy- Ed.
chi.14486534	There was none The police?
chi.14486534	They know what to do. ” “ In case any of them are captured? ” asked Boy- Ed.
chi.14486534	This is clear to you? ” Fay smiled imperturbably.
chi.14486534	Under- stand?
chi.14486534	Understand? ” Dixie nodded.
chi.14486534	Understand? ” “ I am a German reservist, ” answered the fore- IIlàI].
chi.14486534	Understand? ” “ Perfectly! ” Schmidt was testing his connec- tions.
chi.14486534	Was fate favoring her?
chi.14486534	Was n't there something in the paper tonight about trouble with the longshore- men? ” “ Yes — but it's all settled up.
chi.14486534	Was she too late to stop him from carrying out his plan whatever it was?
chi.14486534	We will have to go above then — and take to the small boats. ” “ What of it?
chi.14486534	Were all his efforts to be in vain, and was he too, to fall a victim to that iron hand?
chi.14486534	What did I say? ” PLOT AGAINST THE FLEET 57*>!
chi.14486534	What do you say? ” Dixie Mason smiled most engagingly.
chi.14486534	What has NAVAL BALL CONSPIRACY 43 been done in regard to the other searches that I ordered? ” “ Everything's been accomplished.
chi.14486534	What kind? ” “ Loading cargo.
chi.14486534	What man? ” “ Yes, the man who came here wounded.
chi.14486534	What of that?
chi.14486534	What was Von Lertz to do there? ”- “ I could n’t catch all of it — I heard something about the tools and to use the new methods.
chi.14486534	What was his mission?
chi.14486534	What was it compared to life?
chi.14486534	What was this trap they spoke of?
chi.14486534	What're you doing at that telegraph instrument? ” The rough voice of the station agent sent a chill of fear through her.
chi.14486534	What's the boat at the docks now? ” “ The Arsulus.
chi.14486534	What's the rest? ” Stewart looked up from his copying.
chi.14486534	Where are you?
chi.14486534	Where is Von Lertz? ” Von Papen shook his head.
chi.14486534	Where is he?
chi.14486534	Where is he? ” She shook her head and lied ponderously.
chi.14486534	Who is she? ” Von Bernstorff glanced up sharply, but without waiting for reply went on, “ he will have to break it.
chi.14486534	Who's mistake is this? ” Dr. Albert glared at Von Rintelen, an- noyance fast growing into anger as the danger of the situation took hold of him.
chi.14486534	Why did n’t you hold on to that end?
chi.14486534	Why do n’t you hurry? ” “ There ’s no need.
chi.14486534	Why had Dixie Mason done this?
chi.14486534	Why it's only midnight. ” “ Midnight? ” Von Lertz started.
chi.14486534	Why not? ” “ Because I arrest you in the name of the United States of America! ” A livid light spread over Fay's face.
chi.14486534	Why? ” “ Because it's far from settled.
chi.14486534	Why? ” “ We can use him — if he is all right.
chi.14486534	Would he ever fathom this mystery girl?
chi.14486534	Would it make it any easier to have Smith, or Gates or Levinsky or some such personage announced?
chi.14486534	Would the electric current swerve the course of that torpedo soon enough to save the great battle- ship before it from destruction?
chi.14486534	Would the night never end and the call she was waiting for come?
chi.14486534	You are of course acquainted with the nature of this explo- sive and the use it is commonly put to? ” A gleam of interest shone in Grant's eyes.
chi.14486534	You do n’t suppose that they could have gotten a tip that we're in here, do you? ” Harrison Grant shook his head.
chi.14486534	You have seen the adver- tisements in the newspapers advising passengers not to sail on the Lusitania? ” “ Of course. ” “ Very well.
chi.14486534	You understand?
chi.14486534	boxes?
chi.14486534	“ And 44 THE EAGLE ’S EYE you're going home on account of that?
chi.14486534	“ And if it does succeed? ” Von Papen shrugged his shoulders.
chi.14486534	“ And the loss of life?
chi.14486534	“ And the trap? ” “ Set and ready to spring. ” A shiver of dread passed through Dixie Mason.
chi.14486534	“ And you only shake hands with me? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ Anything doing? ” asked Stewart lazily, nip- ping the end from a cigar and preparing to light it.
chi.14486534	“ Anything for Ex- x? ” The long silence that followed was finally broken by the clatter of the instrument.
chi.14486534	“ Are you Sure? ” “ I have a good pair of eyes. ” said Harrison Grant, “ I saw her there — not fifty feet away.
chi.14486534	“ Are you there, Kroner? ” “ Yes. ” “ Alright.
chi.14486534	“ By the way, Rintelen, has there been any progress? ” “ Nothing but retrogression, ” came the answer of the arch- plotter.
chi.14486534	“ Can you come to my apartment, soon?
chi.14486534	“ Can you drive me right into town?
chi.14486534	“ Cavanaugh, is that you? ” “ Yes, ” the reply bordered on a gasp.
chi.14486534	“ Do I know them? ” retorted Dixie.
chi.14486534	“ Do you know Harrison Grant? ” “ Yes, the dog, ” muttered von Lertz.
chi.14486534	“ Do you know those two men? ” demanded von Lertz.
chi.14486534	“ Do you know who this is coming down the hill? ” Von Lertz glanced up.
chi.14486534	“ Do you remember the doctor that Von Igel brought to the Club one night last week? ” Boy- Ed nodded.
chi.14486534	“ Do you see anything in there? ” “ Yes.
chi.14486534	“ Do you suppose, ” Dr. Albert was rummag- ing in his portfolio, “ it could possibly act as a boomerang?
chi.14486534	“ Do you understand? ” “ Perfectly. ” “ This must be greater even than the Black Tom explosion. ” Dr. Albert was insistent upon his point.
chi.14486534	“ Germany will bombard New York any- way — why not now?
chi.14486534	“ Get a telephone, quick! ” “ What's Up? ” “ A good deal.
chi.14486534	“ Good or bad? ” “ Bad, ” answered Rintelen.
chi.14486534	“ Got it fixed, Billy? ” “ Yes, sir.
chi.14486534	“ Grant has gone to raid the dynamite depot in the lighthouse. ” “ Yes? ” Von Lertz's interest was instant.
chi.14486534	“ He had orders to sink the ship. ” “ From whom? ” “ I do n’t know.
chi.14486534	“ How about Rintelen? ” she asked.
chi.14486534	“ How about a doctor for that foot? ” the driver:.
chi.14486534	“ How's that wireless controller? ” “ I ’m having trouble with it. ” “ And yet you sleep? ” The spy was raging now.
chi.14486534	“ How's that wireless controller? ” “ I ’m having trouble with it. ” “ And yet you sleep? ” The spy was raging now.
chi.14486534	“ How? ” she questioned.
chi.14486534	“ I told him not to worry. ” “ Well, there is n't anything to worry about, is there? ” Von Papen hunched forward in his chair.
chi.14486534	“ I wonder what it means?
chi.14486534	“ If he'd only talk louder — what's that — the Lusitania? ” “ Lusitania? ” The two other operatives Icoked up quickly.
chi.14486534	“ If he'd only talk louder — what's that — the Lusitania? ” “ Lusitania? ” The two other operatives Icoked up quickly.
chi.14486534	“ In the Service?
chi.14486534	“ Is it so?
chi.14486534	“ Is my report approved? ” Smiles of satisfaction swept about the group.
chi.14486534	“ Is this the way Imperial Germany is to conquer the earth — by sleeping? ” Grumbling the men obeyed.
chi.14486534	“ Last night?
chi.14486534	“ Miss Mason, what else could one do?
chi.14486534	“ My head aches. ” “ Your head aches? ” Grant laughed.
chi.14486534	“ Not going? ” Miss Mason smiled.
chi.14486534	“ Operative 523, Miss Mason, ” said the voice, “ shall I arrest the party? ”*.
chi.14486534	“ Perhaps it is as much as you have done. ” “ Is it?
chi.14486534	“ Please — do n’t deliver it yet. ” “ Do n’t deliver a telegram? ” the agent glared at her uncomprehendingly.
chi.14486534	“ Secret Service? ” she signalled.
chi.14486534	“ See who's there will you, Stewart? ” The door was opened to admit a young man of business- like appearance.
chi.14486534	“ So soon? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ So that's the game, eh? ” he said.
chi.14486534	“ So that's the way they know just when to rob freight cars in the yards and when to sink lighters, is it?
chi.14486534	“ So you are here to help us?
chi.14486534	“ That's the end of'em, ” he said heartily, “ we were luckier'n we thought. ” “ The end of them? ” Dixie Mason turned hope- fully.
chi.14486534	“ The Constabu- lary? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ The caskets?
chi.14486534	“ The workers, are they safe? ” she asked eagerly.
chi.14486534	“ There was n't any mention of Germany in all this? ” “ Certainly not.
chi.14486534	“ Think you ’ve stopped us, eh? ” The spy al- most shouted the words.
chi.14486534	“ This wireless in working order? ” he asked sharply.
chi.14486534	“ Trinitrate of Tolual?
chi.14486534	“ Well — all arrangements are made, are they not? ” “ As far as the submarines are concerned, yes.
chi.14486534	“ Well, what of this?
chi.14486534	“ Well? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ What are we to do 270 THE EAGLE'S EYE about it?
chi.14486534	“ What are you afraid of?
chi.14486534	“ What are you doing here? ” Grant's voice was scarcely a murmur.
chi.14486534	“ What are you going to do?
chi.14486534	“ What do you want? ” he called.
chi.14486534	“ What else? ” The secret sign of the service was given him as Dixie raised her gauntletted hand.
chi.14486534	“ What's the matter with you?
chi.14486534	“ What's wrong? ” 3558- 197 5E
chi.14486534	“ What?
chi.14486534	“ When did you take the dictograph out of the Hohenzollen Club? ” she asked as he leaned out of the car to grasp her hand.
chi.14486534	“ Where is the man who gave you orders to turn that boat over?
chi.14486534	“ Where to now? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ Where ’s Schmidt? ” “ Here, ” came a voice from a corner where a man was unrolling himself from a dirty blanket.
chi.14486534	“ Where's the man that's in this house? ” asked Grant suddenly.
chi.14486534	“ Who are you? ” he asked sharply.
chi.14486534	“ Who ’s there? ” “ Harrison Grant, Cavanaugh, Stewart, Sis- son! ” Four masculine voices shouted the neces- sary information.
chi.14486534	“ Why is His Excellency so worried? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ Why should I worry — as long as I am shel- tered by the protecting arm of Heinric von Lertz?
chi.14486534	“ Why –? ” “ Do n’t ask any questions.
chi.14486534	“ Wrong?
chi.14486534	“ Yes?
chi.14486534	“ Yes? ” The little group unconsciously awaited the rest of his report in tense silence.
chi.14486534	“ You and I have discussed that before, have n’t we?
chi.14486534	“ You came in response to my letter? ” he asked.
chi.14486534	“ You have n’t delivered the stuff yet, of course? ” “ No, I was going to see you first.
chi.14486534	“ You — Secret Service?
chi.14486534	“ Your papers? ” Fay handed him a letter.
chi.14486534	“ Your report on the A. T. R. factory? ” queried Von Bernstorff.
hvd.32044019367556	Can you suggest what it is? ”. hvd.32044019367556 Do you happen to know anything of Scrivener's move- ments on the day he dined with the Dealtrys?"
hvd.32044019367556	Estelle! ” “ Then you do know why I am glad you came? ” she said, again putting her hand on his arm. hvd.32044019367556 Have you ever heard of Dupont-Emile Dupont? ”.
hvd.32044019367556	Is it not the universal language? ” said Bocara, “ wherein all may understand something of those whose who are alien to them in speech. hvd.32044019367556 Is it not true? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044019367556	Is it of the experi- ment or of me?
hvd.32044019367556	She makes the situation perfectly plain, does n't she? ” Philippa said. hvd.32044019367556 Tell me in your own way, dearest. ” “ Do you say your prayers, Bruce?"
hvd.32044019367556	.“What time did Dr. Oliver go to Lantern House? ” “ We left Hobart Place together.
hvd.32044019367556	144 THE IVORY DISC “ No, thanks, I wo n't drink just now. ” “ Afraid of my expert knowledge of poisons, eh? ” said Oliver, helping himself.
hvd.32044019367556	152 THE IVORY DISC “ Is it?
hvd.32044019367556	158 THE IVORY DISC “ Who told you so? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	214 THE IVORY DISC “ At your instigation?"
hvd.32044019367556	234 THE IVORY DISC “ Why should I? ” Oliver asked carelessly.
hvd.32044019367556	26 THE IVORY DISC “ And the Professor? ” he asked.
hvd.32044019367556	92 THE IVORY DISC “ There are occasions now when you go back into the cloud, drift back into it? ” “ Yes, but not very lately."
hvd.32044019367556	A doctor does not generally operate on his on the woman who is dearest to him in all the world, does he? ”.
hvd.32044019367556	A man?
hvd.32044019367556	And she received me strangely, in a strange place. ” “ Where? ” “ Your servant called it the little temple."
hvd.32044019367556	And why not?
hvd.32044019367556	Are we not all children in the world's nursery, playing our games, pleasant games, some of them, others not so nice?
hvd.32044019367556	At the opera who cares what tongue is used?
hvd.32044019367556	By all that is holy, why? ” and for a moment there was fierce energy and opposition in Bocara as he asked the question.
hvd.32044019367556	Can science tell me why the most primi- tive heathen must needs invoke some god of his imagining?
hvd.32044019367556	Can you explain?
hvd.32044019367556	Certainly he can not matter, A little patience, a little What can have happened since I have been away? ”.
hvd.32044019367556	Could he know of the letter?
hvd.32044019367556	Dare you deny me?
hvd.32044019367556	Did I not bid you not to come here under any circumstances? ” “ I can not, I will not leave you here like this, ” he said.
hvd.32044019367556	Did he?
hvd.32044019367556	Did he? ” “ I believe he did, ” Oliver answered.
hvd.32044019367556	Did this friend of yours at the Home Office believe your story? ” “ Not altogether, I fancy.
hvd.32044019367556	Do n't you? ” Oliver stood up quickly, suddenly, almost as if he were 86 THE IVORY DISC startled and afraid.
hvd.32044019367556	Do you imagine anyone would recog- nize me from your description? ”"Perhaps not, but then I know, and nobody else in the world does.
hvd.32044019367556	Do you know Madame Bocara's history?"
hvd.32044019367556	Do you remember a young flying man who was at the Dealtrys'the night Ockenden died?
hvd.32044019367556	Do you remember in Paris, Estelle? – Tristan?
hvd.32044019367556	Do you remember in Paris, Estelle? – Tristan?
hvd.32044019367556	Do you think you know what I mean? ” “ Yes. ” “ Once when I was a child something happened.
hvd.32044019367556	Do you wonder that I do n't care a damn what people say about me?"
hvd.32044019367556	Does Madame know the risk you are running? ”.
hvd.32044019367556	Faith was for babes, but it was also for the most profound scholars the world could pro- duce; how then could any man made creed contain all truth?
hvd.32044019367556	From his master or mistress?
hvd.32044019367556	From whom?
hvd.32044019367556	Had he failed, altogether failed?
hvd.32044019367556	Had his time in France done something to change his nature?
hvd.32044019367556	Had the Professor prepared a trap for them?
hvd.32044019367556	Has science discovered the reason of a mother's love?
hvd.32044019367556	Has your horrible dissecting room told you any of these things, Oliver?
hvd.32044019367556	Has your theory anything to do with the moon? ” “ It has.
hvd.32044019367556	Have a drink?
hvd.32044019367556	Have you a desire to study? ” “ No, ” she answered definitely.
hvd.32044019367556	Have you? ”"No."
hvd.32044019367556	He died on the fourteenth of September last year in the same way as Ockenden did. ” “ Where? ” “ In Paris."
hvd.32044019367556	He had seen destruction mental and physical, was he unconsciously grasping at creative force to adjust the balance?
hvd.32044019367556	He has n't been here since until the other night. ” “ Why make such a point of Oliver's presence? ” Şir Charles asked with some irritation.
hvd.32044019367556	Her demarcation between good and evil is curiously strong. ” “ And warped, do you mean? ” “ Not at all.
hvd.32044019367556	How can you be sure? ” “ My soul stirred when I first saw you,"she answered.
hvd.32044019367556	How shall I make you understand?
hvd.32044019367556	I am not miserable, therefore I am happy. ” “ And love? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	I appeal to you, Mr. Palgrave, ” he went on, turning round suddenly, “ is not the Doctor a little mysterious?
hvd.32044019367556	I awoke to the consciousness of being in a darkened room and was looking at a wooden idol. ” “ Have you no fear, Estelle? ” “ No.
hvd.32044019367556	I can not imagine your being such a fool. ”"Why not?
hvd.32044019367556	I do not know. ” “ Have you been helping the Professor in his work again?"
hvd.32044019367556	I have made preliminary arrangements for going abroad. ” “ Where? ” “ To Italy."
hvd.32044019367556	I let them wonder, but to you I would explain. ” “ Why make an exception of me?
hvd.32044019367556	I met him once or twice and did not like him. ” “ You do n't remember anything else they said about me?"
hvd.32044019367556	I presume you fostered this attitude in her? ” “ Rather I stood aside,"Bocara answered.
hvd.32044019367556	I seldom go to the theatre, and I am sufficiently interested in real life to leave modern novels alone. ” “ You are- science? ” she asked.
hvd.32044019367556	I was very glad when she said you were my supper partner. ” “ Laughter does not always mean happiness. ”"But in your case? ” she asked.
hvd.32044019367556	I wonder if you follow me, Doctor? ”.
hvd.32044019367556	If on waking she should look into Bocara's eyes and see, as Oliver saw, all that was meant by the fire in them, what would the waking be to her?
hvd.32044019367556	If the cause can be removed, then —"“ You believe she will become a normal woman? ” asked Palgrave.
hvd.32044019367556	In her the normal will not make her like other women. ” “ Still there is a danger, is n't there?
hvd.32044019367556	In this land is there not a difference?
hvd.32044019367556	Is it evil when a man desires his own wife?"
hvd.32044019367556	Is n't it presumption, ungod- like?
hvd.32044019367556	Is that all there is in it?
hvd.32044019367556	It was then, I believe, that my work was accomplished. ” “ How?"
hvd.32044019367556	It would be so as a rule, would n't it, Bruce?
hvd.32044019367556	Little Mother, what can I do for you? ” he ex- claimed.
hvd.32044019367556	My word, that is giving a dog a bad name and hanging him with a vengeance, is n't it?"
hvd.32044019367556	Need you? ”"For a little while yet, dear, it is necessary.
hvd.32044019367556	Of course she had married him for his money, the cynics said, but what at- traction could she have had for Sir Charles?
hvd.32044019367556	Or you, Professor, has enlightenment come from your stones and mud?"
hvd.32044019367556	Perhaps the images in the cloud were my in- structors. ” “ What kind of knowledge? ” Oliver asked.

hvd.32044019367556	Science is inclined to scoff at art, and art naturally abominates the dissecting room. ”"Is that quite true today? ” she asked.

hvd.32044019367556	She had been more priestess than anything else last night, why play such a part as that?
hvd.32044019367556	She must have suffered much on account of it. ” “ What devilish thing have you done to the dog?"
hvd.32044019367556	She took it very quietly. ” “ And was not very shocked? ”"My dear Oliver, I really do n't know.

hvd.32044019367556	The mood held me no longer. ” “ And you were just the same as before, there was no feeling of satisfaction, no sense of accomplishment?"
hvd.32044019367556	The tragedy of an animal does n't really count against that, does it?

hvd.32044019367556	To what extent had it done so?
hvd.32044019367556	Was Estelle mad that she questioned this wooden image and stood with her arms raised to it expecting an answer?

hvd.32044019367556	You are surprised, eh? ” “ No, I came to the conclusion some time ago that you were entirely responsible for these murders."

hvd.32044019367556	“ An operation? ” she asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ And children? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ And he saw her? ” “ I took him and showed him the door of the little temple.
hvd.32044019367556	“ And how are you going to alter it?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ And how are you going to do it? ” Palgrave asked.

hvd.32044019367556	“ And when he left, what manner had he when he left? ” “ I did not see him when he left.
hvd.32044019367556	“ And why not? ” Bocara asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ And you have become elated and forgetful of your- self as he talked with you? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ And you have not told the world?
hvd.32044019367556	“ And you will regret that? ” “ I can not answer that, Bruce.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Are you fond of music, Dr. Oliver? ” she asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Are you only my wife's messenger, Doctor?
hvd.32044019367556	“ Are you quite sure of that? ” Oliver asked with in- terest.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Bocara? ” queried Oliver.
hvd.32044019367556	“ But the real reason? ” said Oliver.
hvd.32044019367556	“ But what caused the mood? ” “ How can I tell? ” Bocara asked with a shrug of his shoulders.
hvd.32044019367556	“ But what caused the mood? ” “ How can I tell? ” Bocara asked with a shrug of his shoulders.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Can you determine the reason for this going back?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ Can you? ” “ I believe so.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Cleopatra or Trojan Helen? ” queried King in Oliver's ear.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Did Dr. Oliver come yesterday? ” he asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Did any elation come? ” he asked, watching her closely.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Did you know I should come? ” said Oliver, laying his hand in a caress on the dog's head.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Difficult?
hvd.32044019367556	“ Do n't you?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ Do you mean that he has been able to lead me to mis- take good for evil? ” she asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Do you mean there is a deeper seated injury than I imagined? ” “ No.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Do you quite realize what we are doing, dear? ” “ Yes, beginning to live, and all the joyous future is before us.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Do you really think I am ill, Bruce? ” “ Yes, in a way you are, in a peculiar way, and I am very, very anxious to make you quite well.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Does Madame know that you believe she is responsible for these deaths? ” Palgrave asked after a pause.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Dupont died at the new not at the full moon. ” “ That is a big rent in the theory, is n't it? ” Oliver re- turned.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Estelle! ” “ Did I not say evil was wandering loose tonight? ” “ Not evil but love."
hvd.32044019367556	“ Estelle, what has happened? ”.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Have I not said already? ” Bocara returned.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Have I passed her as I hurried here?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ Have you read that letter? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Have you talked of me? ” she asked, still looking at Oliver.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Have you told Philippa all about Estelle and myself? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044019367556	“ How did you find me? ”"Once before I have been here but I did not recognize the place until I saw you.
hvd.32044019367556	“ How soon shall we go away?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ I do not think you know Madame Bocara, Doctor? ” “ I have not that honor."
hvd.32044019367556	“ I have been thinking, Estelle-today week, might not the Doctor dine with us today week?
hvd.32044019367556	“ In what way? ” “ We have talked together of the evil that is in the world.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Is she French? ” “ She is always called madame. ” She was European, but Oliver could not fix her na- tionality.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Is the experiment really necessary? ” he asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Is there nothing else we should talk awout?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ It has a very ordinary, common, and sordid sound, has n't it?
hvd.32044019367556	“ It is not about Estelle's letter, is it?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ It is what you expected would happen, is n't it?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ It proves that he is ashamed of himself. ” “ And Estelle Bocara goes with him, I suppose? ” “ Yes, Sir Charles."
hvd.32044019367556	“ Mesmerism? ” Palgrave queried.
hvd.32044019367556	“ My dear, it is astonishing what huge trouble can come from a very small injury. ” “ My injury is small, then? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044019367556	“ New, is n't he, Phil? ” “ His first appearance,"the girl answered in an under- tone.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Oliver will be grateful. ” “ Why not'phone to your chambers and ask if he has arrived?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ Shall we study together tonight? ” Bocara asked as he returned to his wife.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Sometimes they came after I had been studying with the Professor, not always but sometimes. ” “ And did you shrink from them? ” “ Oh, no.
hvd.32044019367556	“ The great poseur,"Palgrave remarked.. “ Is it possible for a legal mind to appreciate a poet?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ Then where is she? ”.

hvd.32044019367556	“ Was Oliver here?''
hvd.32044019367556	“ Were you in this spirit of elation when you first met me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ What can you do?
hvd.32044019367556	“ What can you do? ” he laughed.
hvd.32044019367556	“ What for?"

hvd.32044019367556	“ What other reason could Bruce Oliver have for going?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ What time do you expect him? ” Philippa asked, look- ing at her wrist watch.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Whatever for?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ When is the inquest? ” “ Tomorrow,"Palgrave answered.
hvd.32044019367556	“ When such beauty might have made some splen- did match, why does it belong to a teacher of Oriental THE IVORY DISC 41 languages?
hvd.32044019367556	“ Why do you look at me so? ” She turned to him.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Why do you want to know? ”"Is it wonderful I should like to know how you looked when I was not there to see you? ”.

hvd.32044019367556	“ Why has she left? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Why madame? ” Oliver whispered to Philippa.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Why should a great country like India be under the rule of the English?

hvd.32044019367556	“ Why?
hvd.32044019367556	“ Will the Professor be in presently? ” Oliver asked.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Will you change your mind and have a drink first?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ Will you help me?
hvd.32044019367556	“ Yes, but something strange has happened. ”"Is it not usually so after we have studied together?
hvd.32044019367556	“ Yes, if after seeing you, this other doctor agrees with me. ” “ He would operate? ” “ No, I should do it myself.
hvd.32044019367556	“ Yes, you will dine with us that night, wo n't you, Dr. Oliver? ” “ I shall be delighted. ” Her manner changed.
hvd.32044019367556	“ You are sure of that? ” “ Quite,"she answered.
hvd.32044019367556	“ You are testing her, is that what you mean?"
hvd.32044019367556	“ You do not credit it yourself? ” “ Well, there is a great deal which seems to be left unex- plained. ” “ Naturally.
hvd.32044019367556	“ You have finished, I suppose? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044019367556	“ You have just returned? ” “ Not five minutes ago. ” “ And wish to study? ” “ Not tonight.

hvd.32044019367556	“ You will come tomorrow, Bruce? ” said Estelle, holding him back when Martha Houghton and Palgrave had gone out to the hall.
hvd.32044019367556	“ You would force my hand to clear up your own doubts. ” “ Can you wonder at my attitude? ” Palgrave asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	Could you drive me to Mr. Andrew Alden's place? ” he asked. hvd.hn1l6s Have you ever seen his wife, Jim?"
hvd.hn1l6s	I do n't understand,he said, “ but it's evident we are caught here, and that fire has been fixed- a signal?"
hvd.hn1l6s	If I've time I may drop in for a chat with Nora after all. ” “ But you wo n't alarm her with this? ”. hvd.hn1l6s If there's nothing in it, ” Alden whispered,"why is it so common?
hvd.hn1l6s	What is it, Mr. Alden? ” he asked. hvd.hn1l6s What's all this mystery? ” she demanded.

hvd.hn1l6s	And why did n't he move around? ” Nora's teeth chattered.
hvd.hn1l6s	And you'll try to under- stand?
hvd.hn1l6s	And, if what you say is so, maybe the same thing will happen to- night, only in a more con- venient spot. ” “ What are you going to do, Slim?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Are we going to spend the rest of the night on this boat?
hvd.hn1l6s	Are you going to get away with it?

hvd.hn1l6s	Besides, if he did n't want to give her away, what business was it of mine?
hvd.hn1l6s	But do n't you suppose Slim and George would gamble I'll never let them out of this town?

hvd.hn1l6s	Could Nora be on the same errand as himself, working for her father?

hvd.hn1l6s	How pronounced was its significance?
hvd.hn1l6s	How would he find her?
hvd.hn1l6s	How?".
hvd.hn1l6s	I called out instinctively,"Who's there?'
hvd.hn1l6s	I can trust you?
hvd.hn1l6s	I tell you that door's locked. ” “ Then how can I get to a front window?"
hvd.hn1l6s	If it is, what do we gain by making a show of him?
hvd.hn1l6s	If there had been letters do you think she would have destroyed them one by one?
hvd.hn1l6s	Impulsively he called out: “ Who's that?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Is n't she always right, Garth?"
hvd.hn1l6s	It wo n't be necessary?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Jim,"she breathed,"you're going to take this case?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Maybe you'll come to see me just the same when you get back?".
hvd.hn1l6s	Might be a member of his own family. ” “ What are you driving at, Ed?
hvd.hn1l6s	Of what ab- normal diligence could such an eccentricity be an echo?
hvd.hn1l6s	Of what?".
hvd.hn1l6s	Once she whis- pered: “ Have n't you a feeling there is some one here who laughs at us? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	Point is, are you coming peace- ably, or will I have to wake up a patrolman to get a wagon?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Randall?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Shall I ring for John?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Silly, was n't it?
hvd.hn1l6s	Spooky hole! ” “ No alarms? ” Garth asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	Suppose you got clear — across the border- into Canada?
hvd.hn1l6s	Sure you have n't anything to tell me about you and him?
hvd.hn1l6s	THE BLACK CAP 281 “ What's in that bottle, Slim?"
hvd.hn1l6s	That cop was killed here, was n't he?"
hvd.hn1l6s	That is one reason I decided on this long visit, why I shrank from coming home. ” “ Unbearable? ” Garth helped her out.
hvd.hn1l6s	That sounds rather silly, does n't it?
hvd.hn1l6s	The yard is n't the only getaway?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Then Nora would get the bomb, but where was the real veiled woman?
hvd.hn1l6s	Then who prowled about the 64 THE GRAY MASK unlighted house and hesitated in the vicinity of her door?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Think if I wanted to do anything wrong I'd let you find me out? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	To warn the others?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Was it a guess?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Was she abroad in these woods?
hvd.hn1l6s	Was she as senile as she appeared, or had she tried to throw sand in his eyes?
hvd.hn1l6s	Was that merely coinci- dence?
hvd.hn1l6s	Was the door open to the next room where she had struggled and died?
hvd.hn1l6s	Was there an arrange- ment?
hvd.hn1l6s	Was there an arrangement with that beast?
hvd.hn1l6s	Wear a flower?
hvd.hn1l6s	Well?
hvd.hn1l6s	What about my wife?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What about your wife then?
hvd.hn1l6s	What am I to say?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What are you all afraid of? ” The old man's lips moved.
hvd.hn1l6s	What could be the ex- planation of this trail of money, left with a scrupu- lous care on New York pavements?
hvd.hn1l6s	What did Mr. Alden tell you?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What do they expect me to find in this house? ” When he turned back he saw that Alden's eyes were closed.
hvd.hn1l6s	What do you know?".
hvd.hn1l6s	What do you think of that?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What do you want of me?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What had happened to her when she had stepped into the dusty hall?
hvd.hn1l6s	What had she wanted to say?
hvd.hn1l6s	What is it?".
hvd.hn1l6s	What kept you?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What must an ace mean to that lot, eh?
hvd.hn1l6s	What object, probably similar, had occasioned the search?
hvd.hn1l6s	What point could there be in this abnormal masquerade?
hvd.hn1l6s	What then?
hvd.hn1l6s	What unac- countable intuition had warned her away?
hvd.hn1l6s	What was the connection of the death that had struck there twice?
hvd.hn1l6s	What was the share of the shrouded army in the forest?
hvd.hn1l6s	What were you thinking of, man?
hvd.hn1l6s	What will you do with it?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What would such conscienceless men do to her if they found at the last moment she was re- sponsible for their hopeless predicament?
hvd.hn1l6s	What — what happened at the club?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What'll they do at the start?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What's all this row, Arnold? ” Garth sprang up the stairs, eager and relieved at the quality of the voice.
hvd.hn1l6s	What's on your mind?
hvd.hn1l6s	What's that noise?
hvd.hn1l6s	What's the matter with the pigtail? ” “ Dead-- that's all. ” “ Dead!"
hvd.hn1l6s	What's the matter with the place?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What's the matter with you? ” He laughed.
hvd.hn1l6s	What's the matter?
hvd.hn1l6s	What's the matter? ” “ Why do n't you come in?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What's the matter? ” “ Why do n't you come in?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What's up?"
hvd.hn1l6s	What, Garth questioned, had been left with such care on the sidewalk in front of the corner house?
hvd.hn1l6s	When did they take Mrs. Randall away?"
hvd.hn1l6s	When will he be able to talk straight?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Where was Nora 158 THE GRAY MASK now?
hvd.hn1l6s	Where was the one who had opened and for whom his knife was eager?
hvd.hn1l6s	Where will we be if anything like that's pulled again?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Where would he find Nora?
hvd.hn1l6s	Where's my hat?
hvd.hn1l6s	Where's my wife?
hvd.hn1l6s	Where's your daughter now?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Who are your pals, Mr. Garth?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Who do you suppose I mean?
hvd.hn1l6s	Who else should there be?
hvd.hn1l6s	Who else? ” The bony hand snapped to McDonald's ear again.
hvd.hn1l6s	Who'd want to live here? ” “ I see.
hvd.hn1l6s	Who's rented the warehouse?
hvd.hn1l6s	Who?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Why are you here?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Why are you so late?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Why did my servants swear they had seen?
hvd.hn1l6s	Why did you bring him in at all?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Why did you come?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Why did you light that fire? ” She ran across, grasped the knob, then commenced THE PHANTOM ARMY 131 to beat with her fists at the tin.
hvd.hn1l6s	Why do n't they come? ” “ They are careful, ” she whispered back.
hvd.hn1l6s	Why do you glare at me like that?
hvd.hn1l6s	Why not show him the big event, Simmons? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	Why not, indeed, satisfy her curiosity now?
hvd.hn1l6s	Why then had the young man left five dol- lars around the corner?
hvd.hn1l6s	Why?"
hvd.hn1l6s	Will this help then?".
hvd.hn1l6s	Wo n't you promise?
hvd.hn1l6s	Wo n't you tell me where you're going? ” Garth's laugh was uncomfortable.
hvd.hn1l6s	Would he be in time to prevent a crime of such proportions, of such disquieting possibilities?
hvd.hn1l6s	Would he, however, he asked himself, be able to go the whole way?
hvd.hn1l6s	You saw that? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	You see there was no chance after the murder, and do n't women cling to such things? ” “ She'd probably keep them, ” Nora said.
hvd.hn1l6s	Your mother?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Ai n't it so? ” “ Incriminating question, chief."
hvd.hn1l6s	“ And Mr. Treving? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ And now?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ And what about Treving? ” he asked in a husky voice.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Are you willing, John? ” Her dich had not shifsentiment for 182 THE GRAY MASK Black stumbled from the embrasure.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ At any rate that would be better for his memory, would n't it?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Because Nora gave you this number? ” The inspector shook his head.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ But who-"“ Sh- h! ” “ Did you hear anything?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ But why not lights, Jim?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ But, Jim,"Nora asked, “ how did you know that man had been a witness?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Could they have mistaken him for you?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Did he?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Did you ever notice — was he in the habit of wcaring a flower in his button- hole?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Do you want to kill that woman? ” “ I see.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Does it fit, Jim? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Eh?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ From your father?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Had you planned anything important for to- night? ” Marvin laughed a little.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Has he a record? ” “ A suspect, chiefly because he's tied up with that anarchist crowd out there-- an analyst.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How are you working, Nora?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How could I tell?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How could you control her with a thing like that in her hands? ” “ I think I can take care of her and the bomb, too, ” Garth said quietly.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How did you come?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How did you have the nerve to drive your limousine to the place last night? ” “ I did n't, ” Black answered.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How did you know you'd find this money on the sidewalk?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How did you learn about the signal? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How long have you been loafing in that corner?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How long?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How much do you love your life?".
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How much of a chance?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How often have I told you, Papa Marlowe, to keep your fat mouth shut?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How were you so sure? ” he asked under his breath.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ How would you like a taxi- ride to Elmford?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ I came back — Who are you?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ If it's all you have to charge me with! ” “ Is n't it enough?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Is n't that proof, Jim, that he knows he has n't a chance?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Is that the front door? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Is the safe here?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ No doubt about your having heard of our friend Hennion? ” Garth started forward, resting his closed fists on the desk top.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ No talk- ee, eh?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Now you would n't think we'd ever have got in the war, would you?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ One of those Bellevue cases?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Plenty of time, is n't there? ” Garth croaked anxiously.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Scared, George? ” The question brought fire.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Seeing ghosts, George? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ She's quieter now?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ So murderous? ” His face worked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ The chink?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ The point is, Simmons,"the leader said, “ can you handle the stuff with a degree of safety after you have read the formula?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Then what you mean coming through my cellar?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Then why suspect your visitor of being a ghost?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Then you agree?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Then you're going out there to- night? ” “ Yes. ” He hesitated, but the temptation was too strong.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ There's no doubt then,"Garth asked,"that he killed Treving?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ This rot about the woods and the spirits of dead soldiers?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Treving said that? ” He nodded.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Violence?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Was he drunk? ” “ Ca n't tell, ” the inspector said.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Was it near? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Well?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Were you thinking of paying your party call tonight?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Wh — what do you mean? ” the man asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Wh- what the devil do you mean?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you doing here?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you doing here? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you doing here? ” she whispered tensely.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you doing, father? ” “ Have n't you any eyes? ” he roared.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you doing, father? ” “ Have n't you any eyes? ” he roared.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you driving at?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you going to do?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you going to do?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you talking about?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you up to?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What are you working on, Jim?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What can I do, Garth? ” the big man asked hoarsely.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What did you come down for this morning any- way?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What difference does that make?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What do I know about it? ” he asked angrily.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What do you expect, when you insinuate"“ What have I insinuated, provided your con- science's clear?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What do you mean by that? ” “ Did n't you fall down on it last time?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What do you mean by that? ” “ Did n't you fall down on it last time?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What do you want? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What does Manford want? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What does this mean? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What is it, Mr. Alsop? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What now?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What you talking about, Nora?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's on your mind, Nora?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's that? ” he asked sharply.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's that? ” he asked sharply.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's that? ” she whispered.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's the job?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's the matter with you?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's up, Ed?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What's wrong here? ” But before the other could reply a man's voice, uncertain, barely audible, came from the lighted room to the left.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ What?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ When did you last see McDonald's daughter?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ When do you think we'll be able to question her?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Where are all the servants? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Where are you going, Jim?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Where are you going? ” “ Up there,"he answered.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Where were you going, Garth? ” “ Home.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Where's Garth? ” The door filled with men in uniform.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Where,"Garth asked, “ does Simmons change cars?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Who are you? ” Garth threw back his coat lapel, displaying mo- mentarily his badge.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Who called?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Who is that?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Who was in the house besides yourself and Mrs. Taylor's mother?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Who's that? ” Redding asked.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Who's the fash- ion- plate that left it? ” The Chinaman made a last effort to escape.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Whole force at your heels, Nora?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why did n't you warn the boys to keep an eye on him? ” the inspector demanded.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why did you come?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why did you light it?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why do you look away, Jim?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why does n't he ring? ” the inspector growled.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why is n't it answered?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why not send out a call for the patrol?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why the devil does n't Nora answer?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why,"he asked himself, “ wo n't these people talk?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why,"she asked, “ would n't you let Jim tell me the man's name? ” His bluster was too apparently simulated.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Why?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Will it hurt?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ Wo n't you tell me?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You have n't had the bell disconnected, Nora?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You heard that, Nora?".
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You heard — that? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You knew him, too?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You mean Kridel? ” “ You've said it,"the big man answered with an attempt at a whisper.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You mean,"he whispered, “ that he's — do se gone? ” The doctor nodded.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You see I come from your brother, the head of the Society for Social Justice. ” “ What can he want at this time of night?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You think this ghost is connected with a dangerous conspiracy against you?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You very nearly took mine, Jim, so are n't we quits?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You will take care of him?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You would n't give me away, would you?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You'd swear to let Jim go at the border?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You'll come quietly? ”.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You're Mrs. Hanson's chauffeur? ” he called.
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You're sure there's some of the stuff in the safe with the formula?
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You're sure?"
hvd.hn1l6s	“ You've heard of that fellow without a face?"
hvd.32044015457591	A girl that you cared about?
hvd.32044015457591	ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? hvd.32044015457591 ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?
hvd.32044015457591	ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? hvd.32044015457591 ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?
hvd.32044015457591	ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? hvd.32044015457591 ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?
hvd.32044015457591	ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? hvd.32044015457591 ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?
hvd.32044015457591	ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? hvd.32044015457591 ARE WE DOWNHEARTED?
hvd.32044015457591	ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? hvd.32044015457591 About what?"
hvd.32044015457591	Again?
hvd.32044015457591	Ai n't that me all over? hvd.32044015457591 Am I going to lie in this hole all my life?"
hvd.32044015457591	And let you freeze?
hvd.32044015457591	And where ha'ye been skulking since yesterday?
hvd.32044015457591	And — will you send the night watchman here?
hvd.32044015457591	Are n't you afraid to leave him?
hvd.32044015457591	Are you going to be married, Jerry?
hvd.32044015457591	Are you going to stand for it?
hvd.32044015457591	Are you happy?
hvd.32044015457591	At,suggested Billy Grant,"say — five dollars a nip?"
hvd.32044015457591	Boy or girl?
hvd.32044015457591	But if they put some one on in my place?
hvd.32044015457591	But surely there must be something else about — potatoes or things like that?
hvd.32044015457591	But who in the world would take it?
hvd.32044015457591	But — suppose the Staff thinks that he should be?
hvd.32044015457591	Ca n't you give a body time?
hvd.32044015457591	Can you beat it?
hvd.32044015457591	Can you ever forgive me?
hvd.32044015457591	Could I get in?
hvd.32044015457591	Could n't I go to the village?
hvd.32044015457591	Could you tell me which window he's near, Miss Nellie?
hvd.32044015457591	Did I lose anything besides this?
hvd.32044015457591	Did ye or did ye no?
hvd.32044015457591	Did you see them call that baby away on visiting day for fear she would touch it?
hvd.32044015457591	Did — did you — are you ringing?
hvd.32044015457591	Do n't I?
hvd.32044015457591	Do n't you know that now you are in charge you ought to keep moving?
hvd.32044015457591	Do n't you see?
hvd.32044015457591	Do you hate me very much?
hvd.32044015457591	Do you know anything about cooking?
hvd.32044015457591	Do you mean to say,said the red- haired person wonderingly,"that you went by yourself across the fields and telephoned to get me out of this mess?"
hvd.32044015457591	Do you think you could bring him to see her?
hvd.32044015457591	Do you think,said a mild voice—"do you think you could find me some bread and butter?
hvd.32044015457591	Do you want to see it?
hvd.32044015457591	Do you — still — like me a little?
hvd.32044015457591	Doctor Willie,she said,"wo n't you have him operated on?"
hvd.32044015457591	Does — does he look like his father?
hvd.32044015457591	Doing anything?
hvd.32044015457591	Elizabeth,said the Nurse,"wo n't you sit by Claribel and fan her?"
hvd.32044015457591	Feeling all right?
hvd.32044015457591	Filled?
hvd.32044015457591	Forgive you? hvd.32044015457591 Four?"
hvd.32044015457591	Friends? hvd.32044015457591 Funny little mutt, is n't he?"
hvd.32044015457591	Getting any sleep?
hvd.32044015457591	Gone?
hvd.32044015457591	Good.—And — did you get my note?
hvd.32044015457591	Have I made you cry again?
hvd.32044015457591	Have n't been sick, have you?
hvd.32044015457591	Have you any pain anywhere?
hvd.32044015457591	Have you sent over the soiled clothes?
hvd.32044015457591	Have you taken her temperature?
hvd.32044015457591	Have — have you a baby here?
hvd.32044015457591	He is not to have it?
hvd.32044015457591	Her pulse is strong?
hvd.32044015457591	How about you?
hvd.32044015457591	How are you? hvd.32044015457591 How are you?
hvd.32044015457591	How d'you like me as a parlour entertainer, Nel- lie?

hvd.32044015457591	I do n't suppose, by any chance, you came to see how I am getting along?
hvd.32044015457591	I fixed the bell, did n't I?
hvd.32044015457591	I suppose that's the conventional thing; and if it makes you feel any better Will you think over what I've been saying?
hvd.32044015457591	I suppose you'll be going out at once?

hvd.32044015457591	Is there any reason, young man, why I should n't order you to the lockup for the balance of this voy- age?

hvd.32044055084438	There was a girl's face in it, you say?
hvd.32044055084438	This is serious. ” Then again to Armitage, “ How did you miss your letter- case? ” He told her.
hvd.32044055084438	To whom did Armitage cable to buy?
hvd.32044055084438	Until I get father to consent. ” “ But if he wo n’t? ” “ Oh, he will.
hvd.32044055084438	Vanity?
hvd.32044055084438	Was it only his success at cards that inspired them?
hvd.32044055084438	We are taking no chances. ” “ How do you think they'll come? ” Armitage whispered with unnecessary caution.
hvd.32044055084438	Well, Mr Armitage, what do you think of my guess? ” “ It seems horribly plausible.
hvd.32044055084438	Well? ” The one word meant a lot.
hvd.32044055084438	What are you so excited about, Dora?
hvd.32044055084438	What could she think of him except that he had tricked and cheated and stolen?
hvd.32044055084438	What could she think of him except that he had tricked and cheated and stolen?
hvd.32044055084438	What did the man say? ” “ Everything nice and good.
hvd.32044055084438	What do you mean to do with yourself?
hvd.32044055084438	What do you mean, Mr Armitage? ” “ Do n’t bite my head off, please, I mean no harm He is yours by right of conquest, Miss Myrl.
hvd.32044055084438	What do you think? ” He smiled mockingly.
hvd.32044055084438	What else should he say?
hvd.32044055084438	What hope was there for him as a pauper?
hvd.32044055084438	What is your limit?
hvd.32044055084438	What would she think of him?
hvd.32044055084438	What would she think of him?
hvd.32044055084438	What, I wonder, does he hope to discover in her house?
hvd.32044055084438	When is it to be? ” “ I do n’t know, ” said Phil, awkwardly.
hvd.32044055084438	When shall I begin? ” “ No time like the present.
hvd.32044055084438	Where?
hvd.32044055084438	Why are you looking like that? ” Dora did not seem to hear her.
hvd.32044055084438	Why are you so keen to save him? ” Dora hesitated for one moment.
hvd.32044055084438	Why do n’t you congratulate him on his good luck?
hvd.32044055084438	Why do you say my Paul Beck?
hvd.32044055084438	Why do you want it? ” “ For Paul's photo.
hvd.32044055084438	Why not?
hvd.32044055084438	Why say ye so, or whither go?
hvd.32044055084438	Why wo n’t you be frank with me, Miss Hypocrite?
hvd.32044055084438	Will you allow me? ” He proceeded to fix the lamp on the cushion behind her.
hvd.32044055084438	Will you come? ” “ Oh, thank you a thousand times.
hvd.32044055084438	Will you promise, if you pull off this game, to wait six months — well, three months then?
hvd.32044055084438	Will you promise? ” His eagerness forgot to be gentle.
hvd.32044055084438	Will you wait here till I come back? ” “ Yes, I'll wait.
hvd.32044055084438	Will you? ”- “ But you do n't want me to say ‘ Yes, ’ ” more softly than before.
hvd.32044055084438	Would he have been pleased if he had known the real reason why the pretty parlour- maid accepted his invitation so eagerly?
hvd.32044055084438	Would you have scrupled to trick me out of any papers that would have helped you?
hvd.32044055084438	Yesterday he cabled five thousand dollars with the message “ Come back and marry your girl. ’ You do n’t wonder I celebrated?
hvd.32044055084438	You are not afraid of his being murdered, are you, while we are at our lunch next door? ” She put irresistible entreaty into her voice and smile.
hvd.32044055084438	You are not come to challenge me to a duel, Phil?
hvd.32044055084438	You are not vexed at the way I tricked you and played on your good- nature? ” “ Vexed! ” he exclaimed heartily.
hvd.32044055084438	You can help. ” “ If I can, I will; you may take your oath on that. ” “ That boom in Marconis — who was the chief bull?"
hvd.32044055084438	You can read it now without trouble? ” “ Perfectly. ” “ And write it?
hvd.32044055084438	You can read it now without trouble? ” “ Perfectly. ” “ And write it?
hvd.32044055084438	You do n’t want me to resign my pretensions and all that kind of thing? ” “ Well, not exactly, ” said Armitage.
hvd.32044055084438	You have heard of the Amalgamated Gold Co., Ltd? ” “ I can not say I have, unless I tell a lie. ” “ Well, you are out of everything.
hvd.32044055084438	You locked your door, I suppose? ” “ I always do.
hvd.32044055084438	You may take the key with you. ” “ But why? ” “ Just to oblige me.
hvd.32044055084438	You may thank me when we meet again, if you feel so disposed. ” CHAPTER XXV TRAPPED “ ARE you sure he'll come to- night? ” asked Armitage.
hvd.32044055084438	You play, Baxter, of course?
hvd.32044055084438	You remember me?
hvd.32044055084438	You remember the letter which would have landed me if you had n’t come between?
hvd.32044055084438	You said just now you knew the poem. ” “ But do you mean it?
hvd.32044055084438	You'll come too, sir?
hvd.32044055084438	You'll come? ” “ Sure ” was Mr Thornton's laconic reply.
hvd.32044055084438	You'll come? ” “ Sure ” was Mr Thornton's laconic reply.
hvd.32044055084438	You'll lunch with me, of course?
hvd.32044055084438	You, too, Miss Myrl? ” This as an afterthought.
hvd.32044055084438	am I in time? ” As the hansom whisked round the corner she saw another drive away and caught a glimpse of a man's back in the doorway.
hvd.32044055084438	are you there?
hvd.32044055084438	wait! ” he cried impatiently, “ what do you mean by wait, Norma?
hvd.32044055084438	what have ye done?
hvd.32044055084438	you darling, I knew you would help me. ” “ Why did n't you ask me then?
hvd.32044055084438	you have thrown up? ” he asked jestingly.
hvd.32044055084438	“ A brother, sir? ” he said to Armitage, who shook his head.
hvd.32044055084438	“ About when, I mean? ” “ Still I do n't know.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Ah, then, do you think it's for the sake of the dirty lucre I ’m doing what I ’m doing?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Am I sure of him? ” asked Mr Beck, quietly finishing the sentence.
hvd.32044055084438	“ And what's that, may I ask? ” asked Mr Lamman, while Mr Beck contemplated his prize with un- disguised delight.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Any message, sir? ” she asked when they parted in the hall and he slipped half a crown into her hand.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Anything wrong, Phil? ” “ Nothing, darling. ” “ Oh, I ’m sure Dora told you news of some sort, good or bad.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Are you quite sure of all this? ” he asked when she had finished.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Ask him is he happy?
hvd.32044055084438	“ At the lodging- house door I paused to think if I would go back or go forward. ” “ Back where? ” asked Lamman.
hvd.32044055084438	“ But had n't I better telephone to him that the engagement is off?
hvd.32044055084438	“ But if he wo n’t, ” he persisted, “ will you promise to marry me in three months — well, in six months?
hvd.32044055084438	“ But why do you say that?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Could I see the young lady? ” he asked.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Did you think I was going to snatch it? ” he said.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Do n’t I count, my dear?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Do you mean that as a compliment, Mr Lamman?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Do you think it's wounded vanity that hurts me, that makes me cry — that I ’m so small and mean?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Does that satisfy your ladyship? ” She nodded.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Dora, ” he whispered, “ why worry so much over this miserable business?
hvd.32044055084438	“ From where???
hvd.32044055084438	“ From where???
hvd.32044055084438	“ From where???
hvd.32044055084438	“ Has she snatched anything from you, miss? ” he said.
hvd.32044055084438	“ How do you do, Mr Armitage?
hvd.32044055084438	“ I can do nothing without luck, but mine seldom fails. ” “ You are quite sure about the letter? ” “ Quite sure.
hvd.32044055084438	“ I did not know he was married. ” “ Oh, yes, he is. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Quite sure, ” responded Dora, cheerily.
hvd.32044055084438	“ I do n’t think I ever knew it to happen before. ” “ What? ” asked Mrs Pye, a little sharply.
hvd.32044055084438	“ I meant to be, but Armitage — curse him — with his forged cable made me a bear instead. ” “ Who was the chief bull?
hvd.32044055084438	“ I suppose that means my dismissal? ” he said.
hvd.32044055084438	“ If not, may I hope to see you the day after? ” “ Perhaps.
hvd.32044055084438	“ In a few days; after the dance. ” “ When is the dance to be? ” He dropped in the question quite carelessly.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Is it as bad as that?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Is n’t that rather high interest? ” she murmured.
hvd.32044055084438	“ It was a fair fight between us, ” he said; “ luck helped me and I won. ” “ But how did you win? ” “ As you tried to win.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Jane, ” he said to the girl, “ would you mind 86 THE CAPTURE OF PAUL BECK going on for me for a while?
hvd.32044055084438	“ May I ask an injudicious question? ” O AN ARMISTICE 2II “ I would do a good deal for your sake, Miss Myrl, believe me. ” “ Not that?
hvd.32044055084438	“ May I ask an injudicious question? ” O AN ARMISTICE 2II “ I would do a good deal for your sake, Miss Myrl, believe me. ” “ Not that?
hvd.32044055084438	“ May I ask, ” he went on in the same playful fashion, “ what is the name of the leader on the other side?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Miss Lee? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Mr Thornton, I presume? ” said Mr Donnelly at his elbow.
hvd.32044055084438	“ My man. ” “ What was his name? ” “ I do n’t know.
hvd.32044055084438	“ No?"
hvd.32044055084438	“ Norma, ” he whispered in the small pink ear, “ when will we be married? ” “ Never!
hvd.32044055084438	“ Of course not, but he asked me for my address and might he call. ” “ And you said? ” “ I said “ Yes, ’ of course.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Oh, Norma, is it possible?
hvd.32044055084438	“ One asked the other, “ Shall we play fair, or all we know? ’ ‘ All we know, ” was the reply.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Only a moment ago. ” “ You consider that honourable, of course? ” “ I do n't understand you. ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044055084438	“ Shall I realise for you? ” asked Mr Samson.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Shall we “ sit at once? ” she asked, proud of her knowledge of the slang of the spiritualists.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Still, you do n’t give in? ” she said.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Sure? ” he drawled slowly.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Then how can you keep this place? ” “ I must find a substitute.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Then you would advise me to hold on a little longer? ” he asked.
hvd.32044055084438	“ They think the photo and diary are destroyed. ” “ And they are, I suppose? ” “ Kindly suppose the contrary.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Was there ever a more unfortunate accident? ” he muttered.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Well, ” she asked with a mocking little smile, “ are you satisfied? ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044055084438	“ Well? ” cried that gentleman, eagerly, for he saw the detective had news to impart.
hvd.32044055084438	“ What do you say, good people, to a game of bridge?
hvd.32044055084438	“ What does that matter? ” she went on, still impatiently.
hvd.32044055084438	“ What is it, Dora? ” he cried impatiently, “ quickly as you can.
hvd.32044055084438	“ When can I see you, dearest? ” the postscript asked.
hvd.32044055084438	“ When shall I see you again? ” he asked.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Where, sir? ” said the porter.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Which is it? ” she asked audaciously.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why are you taking me to Cork when I want to go to Queenstown? ” “ By Mr Donnelly's orders no less. ” The murder was out.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why did you telegraph ‘ No, no to me just now, Miss Myrl?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why must you? ” he asked curtly.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why not make sure? ” “ We will make quite sure, my dear.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why should I be?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why should I mention you? ” “ I only meant he is a friend of mine. ” “ Does that mean he must marry or not marry as you wish?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why should I mention you? ” “ I only meant he is a friend of mine. ” “ Does that mean he must marry or not marry as you wish?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why, what's the matter with you, Dora?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why? ” “ Why did they send the cypher letter before? ” “ Oh, can not you see that was quite different?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why? ” “ Why did they send the cypher letter before? ” “ Oh, can not you see that was quite different?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Why? ” “ Why did they send the cypher letter before? ” “ Oh, can not you see that was quite different?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Will you belong? ” “ Well, yes, I expect it will be a pretty long visit. ”
hvd.32044055084438	“ Will you come, Norma?
hvd.32044055084438	“ Would you kindly get me a scrap of paper? ” said Mr Beck, producing his fountain pen.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Yes, yes. ” “ Are you a lady detective? ” She hesitated for a second.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You are not going to give in? ” queried Lamman.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You are willing to set that huge sum against the two hundred thousand that my girl will have the day she is married?
hvd.32044055084438	“ You can let me have a room, John? ” he said to the head porter.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You do n't mean to give in? ” queried Lamman again.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You do n’t mean it, Mr Beck?
hvd.32044055084438	“ You do n’t think the stock is likely to fall? ” he asked, Smiling.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You have already spoken to my daughter of this? ” he asked sharply.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You have seen Mr Beck to- day? ” It was n’t a question, it was a statement.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You will come at once? ” he asked, when he had sampled his drink.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You wo n’t marry him, Norma? ” he urged eagerly.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You'll wait for me? ” he whispered.
hvd.32044055084438	“ You? ” he said with stinging contempt.
hvd.32044055084438	“ Your locket? ” she said in reply to his eager LOST AND FOUND 79 questions, “ yes, I suppose it is yours.
hvd.hn1q3e	He was. ” “ Did he submit to it, or did he resist it? ” “ He resisted it.
hvd.hn1q3e	I s'pose you do n't never sell any of that bottle?
hvd.hn1q3e	Is it so bad? ” inquired the detective, with affectionate sympathy. hvd.hn1q3e What happened after that? ” “ Pretty quick she took a new tack, sir. ” “ What?"
hvd.hn1q3e	What happened after that? ” “ Pretty quick she took a new tack, sir. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1q3e	'Cause she begun with a grin. ” “ Did Mr. Edgerton accede to this second re- quest, or did he not?"
hvd.hn1q3e	13 “ Have you brought the document? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hn1q3e	173 “ Does it give you much pain? ” asked Edger- ton, with sympathy.
hvd.hn1q3e	19 that you are to provide the witnesses, and that I am to return with the will at five o'clock? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1q3e	259 “ Then what followed?"
hvd.hn1q3e	263"They're all younger except one, and she's lame. ” “ So that your earnings are a great help to your mother? ” “ Oh, yes, sir!
hvd.hn1q3e	53 “ Was it Mr. Barclay's entire fortune? ” “ No, it was half his property.
hvd.hn1q3e	59 “ Why did you think he had left the house? ” “ What helse would the gentleman do, sir? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	59 “ Why did you think he had left the house? ” “ What helse would the gentleman do, sir? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Barclay told me that he loved me, and 12"-“And you —?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Barclay was taking pho- tographs on the very afternoon that he died? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Barclay?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Barclay?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Barclay?"
hvd.hn1q3e	But what was the young lady doin'all this time? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	But why should he have died?
hvd.hn1q3e	Can you attend to it yourself? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Could it be possible that Barclay had been foully dealt with?
hvd.hn1q3e	Could it be that Keene in truth was nothing but a crazy enthusiast?
hvd.hn1q3e	Could it be that Mehitable was right after all?
hvd.hn1q3e	Do you follow me in this?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Do you notice how much less distinct his figure is than Mr. Barclay's?
hvd.hn1q3e	Does n't it seem to you awfully odd that she should n't be in mourning for Barclay? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Does she buy dime novels with them? ” “ Oh, no, sir!
hvd.hn1q3e	Dr. Sedgwick removed this cork before he handed the glass to his cousin. ” “ Did you see the cork? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q3e	Duncan must follow one and he the other, but which scent should be intrusted to the agent?
hvd.hn1q3e	Fear of what?
hvd.hn1q3e	Had Bar- clay died from some assassin's act?
hvd.hn1q3e	Had Barclay in truth died from poison?
hvd.hn1q3e	Had Edgerton observed him too?
hvd.hn1q3e	Had Mr. Barclay been struck by light- ning?
hvd.hn1q3e	Had he come to take posses- sion of the fortune which had so unexpectedly fallen to his lot?
hvd.hn1q3e	He came into the reception- room, sir. ” “ Did you remain with Mr. Edgerton while he wrote his letter?
hvd.hn1q3e	How do we know that Mr. Bar- clay was not poisoned before he went to the club- house?
hvd.hn1q3e	How do you know your master sighs? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	How else could one ac- count for that expression of abject terror in Edgerton's face?
hvd.hn1q3e	How else could one account for the peculiar change which had come over the pris- oner after he had listened to the testimony of Leslie Dane?
hvd.hn1q3e	How was it possible that Keene should have obtained a photograph of Barclay's assassin?
hvd.hn1q3e	I decided to wait until I could see him personally. ” “ What did you do after you had decided not to write to the deceased?"
hvd.hn1q3e	I ransacked the whole room and looked in the'all, sir; but I could n't find hany letter. ” “ Did that surprise you? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1q3e	If a man suspects another of committing a crime, is it not prima facie evidence that he did not com- mit that crime himself?
hvd.hn1q3e	If my partner had sold it, he would remember the time. ” “ Yes?
hvd.hn1q3e	In the excited and over- wrought condition of the prisoner's mind, he had been frightened by these human hounds, as who indeed would not have been?
hvd.hn1q3e	Is n't it rather an unusual thing for you to lunch at the club, Dalton? ” Prose was the speaker.
hvd.hn1q3e	Is this true? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Is what true? ” Eley surlily rejoined.
hvd.hn1q3e	It was just before dinner. ” “ And what time might that be? ” Eley in- quired.
hvd.hn1q3e	Keene had a “ WHAT WAS DONE?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Leslie Dane must be studied up- but how?
hvd.hn1q3e	Miss Leslie stayed to shut up the house. ” “ And when did Miss Leslie go? ” asked the detective, as if trying to prolong the conversation.
hvd.hn1q3e	Now the first question to be settled is: How was he murdered?
hvd.hn1q3e	Now, my lad, can you tell the gentlemen of the jury the name of this lady?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Prose?"
hvd.hn1q3e	She had n't been gone five min- utes afore he jumped up and followed her. ” “ Why do you think he followed her?"
hvd.hn1q3e	She uses them for the rent. ” “ Is your mother rich?
hvd.hn1q3e	The absence of convulsion would absolutely exclude it in the present case. ” “ Is the same thing true of prussic acid?"
hvd.hn1q3e	The real question, after all, was, — what was done? ” “ Yes, ” Eley answered with a sigh.
hvd.hn1q3e	Then master got up off his knees and said she'd be the death of him. ” “ What did she say to that?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Then the question, “ Are you guilty or not guilty?"
hvd.hn1q3e	There was nobody there to hinder him. ” “ What did you do when you found that Mr. Edgerton was no longer in the reception- room?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Upon this reasoning Duncan was now disposed to believe Masters Edgerton guiltless; but if Edgerton was guilt- less, who was guilty?
hvd.hn1q3e	WHAT WAS DONE?"
hvd.hn1q3e	WHAT WAS DONE?.
hvd.hn1q3e	WHAT WAS DONE?."!
hvd.hn1q3e	WHENCE, WHAT, WHERE?
hvd.hn1q3e	Was Sedgwick, after all, the man behind the chair?
hvd.hn1q3e	Was it possible after all, he thought to himself, that Miss Fullerton had jilted Dalton for the richer Barclay?
hvd.hn1q3e	Was it true, as Keene had suggested, that his evidence at the inquest had been merely a blind?
hvd.hn1q3e	Was not the death administered by another less guilty than death brought about by his own hands?
hvd.hn1q3e	Was the victim of the murder a Worth in dis- guise?
hvd.hn1q3e	Were Mr. Barclay and the dressmaker one and the same person?
hvd.hn1q3e	What agent had been employed by the assassin for the de- struction of his victim?
hvd.hn1q3e	What if I should strike you dead at my very feet? ” THE DEATH.
hvd.hn1q3e	What mattered it how, so that it was death that should at last come to him?
hvd.hn1q3e	What mattered it the means, so that he reached his end?
hvd.hn1q3e	What mattered it to the prisoner then whether he died by poison or by the rope?
hvd.hn1q3e	What sort of looking man is this Edgerton? ” “ A tall, thin man, dark complected, with clean- cut features and roving eyes.
hvd.hn1q3e	What was the cause of death?
hvd.hn1q3e	What was the cause of this sudden death?
hvd.hn1q3e	Where are you going now? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Who did you say the coroner was? ” Prose answered; and Fullerton, barely spar- 50 SILKEN THREADS.
hvd.hn1q3e	Who else could he sus- pect other than Leslie Dane?
hvd.hn1q3e	Who will act as witnesses? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	Why ca n't you try to be cheerful?
hvd.hn1q3e	Why could n't you sell me chloroform just as well as Mr. Edgerton?"
hvd.hn1q3e	Why had this mysterious person visited the studio, and what was the meaning of the movement of his arms?
hvd.hn1q3e	Why should he of all others come there at this time, — he, the heir- at- law, the person most interested in Barclay's death?
hvd.hn1q3e	Will you come with me, Margaret?
hvd.hn1q3e	Yes, or no? ” “ I will come, ” Margaret Fullerton simply answered.
hvd.hn1q3e	conclusion about the room I looked at the other day?"
hvd.hn1q3e	no one V “ Did Mr. Edgerton see Mr. Barclay? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1q3e	or at the Fullertons', how could the presence of the man behind the chair then be accounted for?
hvd.hn1q3e	three dollars for this little phial? ” “ Yes, ” Eley again made answer.
hvd.hn1q3e	wonder? ” he abruptly inquired, looking at the shelf above his head, and then glancing furtively at his companion.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ A new titbit of gossip, eh, Candage?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ About one o'clock, sir. ” “ How long a time elapsed before you returned to the reception- room?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And all is then over between us? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And the receptacle has been cleaned?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And what does your mother do with those three dollars?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And what may your theory be, Mr. Duncan? ” “ My theory,"Duncan answered, “ accounts for the silk, and not for the photograph.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And would such a statement have been true? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And you had no pity?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ And you love your little lame sister?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Are they younger or older than you?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ At first?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ At half- past one. ” “ And you arrived at the dress- maker's?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ At what time did you leave the prisoner's office?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Barclay is not dead? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ By specialty a toxicologist and medical chemist? ” “ Yes. ” “ May I examine your ring?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ By specialty a toxicologist and medical chemist? ” “ Yes. ” “ May I examine your ring?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Can I mail this letter for you?'
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Certainly not, sir. ” “ And you remained in the hall until Mr. Prose arrived?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Certainly. ” “ And you have other and various poisons at your disposal?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Could he not have gone upstairs while you were speaking with the lad? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Could not Barclay have died by poison? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Could this ring contain sufficient aconitine to cause the death of an adult?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Did Dr. Sedgwick seem surprised or grieved when he knew of his cousin's death? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Did Mr. Edgerton then leave the house? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Did he consent to do what she asked, or did he not?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Did he mix the sherry and bitters himself? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Did the whole family go? ” asked the detec- tive, eager to acquire some further information of the Dane family in general.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Did you not consider it strange that Mr. Edgerton should leave the house without sum- moning you? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Does this ring open? ” he asked at length, when his efforts to displace the stone had proved unavailing.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ During this interval you had no communi- cation with the prisoner?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Goddesses? ” he asked questioningly.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Goddesses?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Had you ever been in the house of the deceased previous to the 22d of May? ” “ Yes. ” “ Many times?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Had you ever been in the house of the deceased previous to the 22d of May? ” “ Yes. ” “ Many times?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Had you such pity?".
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Has it gone to the right spot, Hitty? ” in- quired the detective.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ His cousin, Dr. Algernon Sedgwick. ” “ Was Dr. Sedgwick acquainted with the in- tention of the deceased? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How do you account for his opposition to the inquest? ” “ I do n't consider that strange.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How do you do, Mr. Edgerton? ” he said in formal accents.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How do you know he does nothin'but write letters and tear'em up?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How do you know he meets young ladies in his office?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How do you know it was different?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How do you know that that was the name of the lady?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How long did you remain at the dress- maker's?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ How? ” demanded the druggist.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I can do nothing?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I give you five to one that no murder is proved. ” “ In three months? ” added Candage.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I have seldom seen an inquest conducted in so bungling a manner. ” “ How so? ” the lawyer queried.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I sat down in the'all, sir. ” “ So that Mr. Edgerton could not have come downstairs without your seeing him?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I say again that I am a forger and a thief; do you comprehend? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I see, – and this next number? ” he continued, pointing to an entry in the ledger bearing the date of May 22, — “ Is No.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ I should n't care if the loss of money was the worst. ” “ What is the worst, papa? ” inquired the girl softly.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Immediately? ” “ Yes. ” “ How long a time had you remained in Mr: Barclay's house? ” “ Five minutes perhaps.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Immediately? ” “ Yes. ” “ How long a time had you remained in Mr: Barclay's house? ” “ Five minutes perhaps.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Immediately?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ In the mean time, could I take another look at the room?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ In where?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Indeed?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Is Mr. Brown in? ” he inquired of the stout man who greeted him in the odorous parlor in which the photographer received his patrons.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Is it bad? ” he inquired with feigned anxiety.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Is it true? ” she demanded, in her shrill, nagging voice."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Is it wise to disturb the position of the body before the coroner arrives? ” he asked in a warn- ing voice.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ It is your wish that we never meet again?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ It was made for a picture. ” “ Have you always used it for this purpose? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Margaret, ” he said, in low, suppressed tones, “ I have committed a crime; do you understand?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ No?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Oh! ” exclaimed the other, “ a sort of ap- prentice?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ She began a beggin'somethin'different. ” “ Did you hear what that was?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ She kep'on a beggin', sir. ” “ And what did Mr. Edgerton do?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ So that upon analysis it would reveal the traces of no poison? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ So you are ready to swear that no poison was subcutaneously administered to Barclay upon any portion of his body? ” he persistently inquired.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Stomped?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ That is to say, you remained at Mrs. Quidd's from half- past two to half past three?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ That's why he did n't speak of them, is it?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ The Mr. Barclay who died so suddenly? ” “ Yes, ” explained the other, “ Mr.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ The first question, to my view, is: Who done it?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Then you do not believe that Mr. Bar- clay was poisoned?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ There was n't hany letter, sir. ” “ What? ” “ There was no letter, sir.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Under the scalp, for example? ” “ Well — no- not exactly, ” Judd hesitatingly replied.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ WHAT WAS DONE? ” THUS did Duncan and Eley, acting upon the theory of “ Who done it?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ WHAT WAS DONE? ” THUS did Duncan and Eley, acting upon the theory of “ Who done it?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Was he violent, or was he not?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Was the prisoner aware that this was the cause which led to the rupture of your engage- ment with him, or was he not?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ We drank his health first. ” “ At what time was this?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Were you then enemies?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What Mr. Wiggins said about Edgerton?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did I say?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did Mr. Barclay do after this con- versation? ” “ He left the club- house in my company."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did Mr. Edgerton want of such stuff as that? ” “ Oh, gentlemen have queer fancies, ” remarked the druggist.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did he say?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you do after that?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you do then? ” “ I proceeded to the railway station. ” “ At what time did you arrive there? ” 18 THE TRIAL.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you do then? ” “ I proceeded to the railway station. ” “ At what time did you arrive there? ” 18 THE TRIAL.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you do when you could not hear what they said? ”"I peeked, sir. ” “ Peeked? ” 258 SILKEN THREADS.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you do when you could not hear what they said? ”"I peeked, sir. ” “ Peeked? ” 258 SILKEN THREADS.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you do while you sat in the hall? ” “ I read, sir."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you order, Bryce? ” he questioned, looking at his cousin with an expression of dis- comfiture and embarrassment evident to all.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What did you say to that man at the circus? ” Edgerton asked in angry tones.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What do you know about love, you young monkey?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What do you mean? ” cried Margaret Ful- lerton, springing to her feet.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What do you suspect to be the cause of death? ” Sedgwick demanded after a short pause.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What does it cost the bottle?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What followed after that? ” “ She got mad, sir. ” “ How do you know? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What followed after that? ” “ She got mad, sir. ” “ How do you know? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What is the cause of death? ” he mildly questioned.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What is the purpose of this secret chamber?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What is your pleasure, sir?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What makes servants halways think such things, sir?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ What poison? ” “ Opium —"“ But,"interrupted Sedgwick eagerly, “ that is impossible.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ When was that?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Where did you listen? ” “ At the key- hole, sir. ” “ Could you hear everything that was said in the inner office or not?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Where did you listen? ” “ At the key- hole, sir. ” “ Could you hear everything that was said in the inner office or not?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Where do they go? ” asked the detective, looking admiringly into the girl's eyes and asking the question slowly.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Whether or no did he make use of violent expressions or threats?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Who are those young ladies Mr. Blandin is talking to? ” he asked of the bell- boy, who was sitting in the window.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Who are you, or what are you, that you know all this? ” he asked in faltering tones.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Who ever heard of mak- ing an autopsy during the rigor mortis? ” “ It was n't made during the rigor mortis!
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Who is Mr. Edgerton?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Who is that? ” whispered Duncan to his companion, as the new arrival passed them by, and walked slowly up the platform.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Who was his heir- at- law?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Whom do you suspect? ” he eagerly asked.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why coroner?
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why did you not say so before? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why not? ” “ Because Mr. Barclay was not at liberty to enter into such an engagement. ” “ Will you explain why?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why not? ” “ Because Mr. Barclay was not at liberty to enter into such an engagement. ” “ Will you explain why?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why? ” he breathlessly inquired.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why? ” inquired Dalton.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Yes, Mr. Barclay announced his intention to him in my presence. ” “ Were there other witnesses?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Yes. ” “ Did you observe anything peculiar in Dr. Sedgwick's manner when the deceased an- nounced his intention to him?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Yes. ” “ You have dogged me for the past two weeks?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Yes. ” “ You were familiar with the peculiarity of its arrangement?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You are a detective?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You are sure? ” “ Absolutely."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You are the nearest relative of the deceased?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You believe him innocent? ” “ Yes. ” “ And you think Barclay died a natural death? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You believe him innocent? ” “ Yes. ” “ And you think Barclay died a natural death? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You can swear that it was not longer than fifteen minutes? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You did not fall asleep?".
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You remember about the negative I left with Mr. Brown? ” he said questioningly.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ You say that latterly your relations with the deceased had not been friendly? ”.
hvd.hn1q3e	“ Your brother, I pre- sume? ” Edgerton, with a faint smile, explained that the lad in question was his office- boy, not his brother.
hvd.hn1q3e	“'Cause he went so quick, sir. ” “ When did he return? ” “ At half- past four, sir. ” “ Are you sure?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“'Cause he went so quick, sir. ” “ When did he return? ” “ At half- past four, sir. ” “ Are you sure?"
hvd.hn1q3e	“'Cause she jumped up, sir, and said she'd never speak to him agin. ” “ Did Mr. Edgerton answer her, or did he not? ” “ He did, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	. ” “ Save you? ” “.
hvd.32044020572889	Also, was it Bullard who was in the house the night before last?
hvd.32044020572889	Am I right in further sup- posing that your father intends to pay a particular debt with all this money? ” Doris's head drooped in assent.
hvd.32044020572889	And who were those men?
hvd.32044020572889	And why delay sending an answer to this wire?
hvd.32044020572889	And why this — and this? ” He pointed first to the ebony slip, then to the green fluid.
hvd.32044020572889	And yet what difference would it have made if they had walked out of the room with the Green Box in their possession?
hvd.32044020572889	And you, doctor?
hvd.32044020572889	Any news?
hvd.32044020572889	Are you feeling better? ” “ Yes, I think so.
hvd.32044020572889	Are you going? ” Without a word Lancaster went out; but he sat in his own private office for several hours.
hvd.32044020572889	As a matter of fact, the Clock interests me far more than the box. ” “ Why? ” said Marjorie.
hvd.32044020572889	Bullard, ” moaned the creature, “ will ye tell me what was in the bag that ye carried it so careful?
hvd.32044020572889	But do you want to learn to shoot?
hvd.32044020572889	But now what was he to believe?
hvd.32044020572889	But what made you think it a possible one?
hvd.32044020572889	But whether you admire her or not, I ’m sure you will like her daughter. ” “ What is her name?
hvd.32044020572889	But why was it not in a safe place?
hvd.32044020572889	But why ‘ dangerous, ’ and what's that green stuff? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044020572889	But — but I ca n't escape — I am like a prisoner told of a great joy which she can » never look upon “ Doris, what are you saying?
hvd.32044020572889	But, Doris, it is n’t to- night yet. ” “ You mean that I have time to — to see Mr. Bullard?
hvd.32044020572889	By the bye, do you remember my friend, Mr. France, being here once?
hvd.32044020572889	By the bye, where are your con- gratulations? ” Lancaster stretched out a shaking hand.
hvd.32044020572889	By the way, has Doris referred to last night? ” “ Not with a single word. ” 170 TILL THE CLOCK STOPS ing gloom.
hvd.32044020572889	Ca n't you take Mr. Bullard's word for that? ” “ Bullard was not with the Expedition » She made a movement of impatience.
hvd.32044020572889	Ca n't you take in the situation?
hvd.32044020572889	Cold, is n't it?
hvd.32044020572889	Disagreeable of course, but not deadly. ” “ You ’re sure it won't — kill? ” “ I give you my word.
hvd.32044020572889	Do n't you agree, Teddy? ” “ Oh, confound the thing, I ’m dying to see inside, and yet xx “ I rather think — ” began the doctor.
hvd.32044020572889	Do n't you see how hideous the situation has become for father — and Alan, too? ” “ I do see it.
hvd.32044020572889	Do you still take that warning wire seriously?
hvd.32044020572889	Doris, will you marry me? ” Perhaps she liked him better at that moment than ever she had done; certainly better than ever she would like him again.
hvd.32044020572889	Doris, you will do it, for his sake and mine?
hvd.32044020572889	Doris?
hvd.32044020572889	Ere the former's hand left the open door the latter stepped round it, saying — “ How are you, Mr. Bullard?
hvd.32044020572889	For the present I should inform you that it may be your last chance of salvation. ” “ What on earth do you mean?
hvd.32044020572889	Had he been a matter- of- fact person he would have said to himself: “ What can I do?
hvd.32044020572889	Had you ever seen the man before that night? ” “ No. ” She paused, then said slowly: “ Mr.
hvd.32044020572889	Have I your promise? ” He put his hand tenderly over hers.
hvd.32044020572889	Have you any doubt that the box and its con- tents belonged entirely to my uncle? ” “ None at all, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	Have your husband well enough to start in the beginning of the week. ” “ Are you crazy?
hvd.32044020572889	He looked pale and fagged, but what was more natural in the circumstances?
hvd.32044020572889	He's dying, is n't he? ” “ Do n’t be so heartless. ” “ Do n’t be silly, my dear man! ” Mrs. Lancaster said sharply.
hvd.32044020572889	He's not decently sober yet. ” “ Then who could have done it? ” Lancaster forced himself to say.
hvd.32044020572889	His note sug- gests that possibility, does n't it?
hvd.32044020572889	How did you get into the house? ” The young man laughed.
hvd.32044020572889	How do you imagine you are going to get out of this country without my help? ” “ Goin'to stay and face any music that likes to play.
hvd.32044020572889	How is he to- night? ” “ I think he is better, but he was so excitable a little while ago that I had to give him some sleeping medicine.
hvd.32044020572889	I am in your hands, Monsieur Guidet, for the clock shall not be started until I am gone. ” “ Gone? ” The little man looked blank.
hvd.32044020572889	I could even prove — ” “ Lancaster is unwell “ My disclosures might make him feel better — eh? ” Bullard felt himself being cornered.
hvd.32044020572889	I decline to go into the gutter for any one. ” “ But — dcar God!—don't you realise what your keep- ing it will mean to father?
hvd.32044020572889	I know it means sinking your pride — ” “ Pride!—have I any left? ” “ Plenty — and plenty to be proud of!
hvd.32044020572889	I'll do nothing till you come back. ” “ Eh — what's that? ” quavered Lancaster, exposing a dazed- looking countenance.
hvd.32044020572889	I've got it into my head as Flitch. ” “ Confound you! ” said Bullard, on the verge of a furious, crazy outbreak, “ will you hold your tongue?
hvd.32044020572889	Is all clear?
hvd.32044020572889	Is attempted murder your only crime?
hvd.32044020572889	Is it possible for you to get leave at once and come here for a couple of days?
hvd.32044020572889	Is the temperature here agreeable to you, sir? ” “ A trifle warm, do n't you think? ” “ It shall be regulated to suit you, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	Is the temperature here agreeable to you, sir? ” “ A trifle warm, do n't you think? ” “ It shall be regulated to suit you, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	Is there anything to prevent your telling it in Caw's presence?
hvd.32044020572889	It is a kind of fish — what you call a cod — understand?
hvd.32044020572889	It is this debt that gives Bullard the upper hand — is it not?
hvd.32044020572889	Just think that you are putting freedom into his hand 22 “ Have mercy, Alan “ Dearest, is it too hard?
hvd.32044020572889	Lancaster a trafficker in murder?—Lancaster the delicate, gentle father of the girl who had promised to wait for him?
hvd.32044020572889	Lancaster and I would have helped him out, had it been possible — would n't we, Lancaster? ” Lancaster cleared his throat.
hvd.32044020572889	Lancaster, ” he said aloud, “ would you mind showing this man to the door?
hvd.32044020572889	Lancaster?
hvd.32044020572889	May I ask whether the Syndicate has asked you to pay the debt? ” He looked away, then downwards.
hvd.32044020572889	May we have a word with you? ” Still silent, the servant stood aside, and they entered.
hvd.32044020572889	Miraculous escape, was n't it? ” “ Very.
hvd.32044020572889	More money, I suppose? ” “ Precisely.
hvd.32044020572889	Mr.** Dullard will do anything you ask “ And what am I to say to father? ” “ Nothing – unless you wish to kill him.
hvd.32044020572889	Now do n't you think you had better go home?
hvd.32044020572889	Now tell me this, Doris; are you and I to continue being friends — openly, I mean? ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044020572889	Now tell me this, Doris; are you and I to continue being friends — openly, I mean? ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044020572889	Now tell me, Guidet, how much do I owe you? ” Guidet wiped his eyes.
hvd.32044020572889	Now will you clear out or be thrown? ” “ You make it very hard for me.
hvd.32044020572889	Now, what about moving along to Earl's Gate?
hvd.32044020572889	Now, what about your prisoner?
hvd.32044020572889	Of course we do n't want that, nor do we need it — do we? ” The impudence of the fellow's manner was exquisite.
hvd.32044020572889	Oh, it was kind and generous of you! ” “ Was that all? ” Alan got up and stood looking down at the fire.
hvd.32044020572889	Only four hundred 118 TILL THE CLOCK STOPS 119 pounds?
hvd.32044020572889	Ought he to overpower her or risk the long drop from the window?
hvd.32044020572889	Pancras — eleven?
hvd.32044020572889	Please remember that Bullard had a cruel power over him. ” “ And does that power no longer exist? ” “ It is broken.
hvd.32044020572889	Possibly you have come across such a document in the room upstairs? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Ah!
hvd.32044020572889	Shall I give first offer to Christopher or to you and Bullard?
hvd.32044020572889	So I came in and made myself at home, unwilling to disturb — What's the matter, Caw?
hvd.32044020572889	Still, my friend, we have another chance. ” “ What?
hvd.32044020572889	The last post must have been late? ” The strain was telling on Doris; she gave a nervous assent.
hvd.32044020572889	The moment the door was shut he said — “ Where's Mrs. Lancaster?
hvd.32044020572889	The pistol was an awful failure, was n't it?
hvd.32044020572889	Then you are quite satisfied, sir? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.32044020572889	To- night? ” Lancaster checked himself.
hvd.32044020572889	We had never had anything like a quarrel, and what had he to gain by my death?
hvd.32044020572889	We have thought we were the only persons outside of Grey House who knew of the diamonds; but who was the person who took the box that night?
hvd.32044020572889	Well, Dun- ning, you got my note ” “ Ai n’t I here? ” “ You attended to the messenger? ” A mere grunt of assent.
hvd.32044020572889	Well, Dun- ning, you got my note ” “ Ai n’t I here? ” “ You attended to the messenger? ” A mere grunt of assent.
hvd.32044020572889	Well, when shall I see you? ” “ Depends.
hvd.32044020572889	What bet- ter news can I give you than that, dear? ” Lancaster's eyes grew moist.
hvd.32044020572889	What did he say? ” “ Nothing that was n't kind, father.
hvd.32044020572889	What had brought France to the in- quest?
hvd.32044020572889	What is all the mystery about? ” “ This little box, ” said Bullard, patting it, “ contains what I may call the Christopher Collection.
hvd.32044020572889	What is it? ” He appeared to pull himself up.
hvd.32044020572889	What should I do at Grey House? ” “ I ’ll tell you precisely what you may do — but not now.
hvd.32044020572889	What the devil's the matter?
hvd.32044020572889	What was he to do?
hvd.32044020572889	What was she to do?
hvd.32044020572889	What was young France doing at the inquest?
hvd.32044020572889	What's the matter? ” With a supreme effort Bullard controlled himself.
hvd.32044020572889	What's wrong with Robert?
hvd.32044020572889	Whence comes that faith I can not tell — but whence comes any great and steadfast faith?
hvd.32044020572889	Where did you pick it up, Teddy? ” Teddy sat down on the edge of the bed.
hvd.32044020572889	Where?
hvd.32044020572889	Whose is it? ” “ Bullard ’s. ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044020572889	Why do n't you answer? ” “ Because it's a problem, dear girl.
hvd.32044020572889	Why do n't you answer? ” “ Pardon, my dear lady.
hvd.32044020572889	Why groan, my friend?
hvd.32044020572889	Why not have asked Christopher for the money, even if it had involved a confession?
hvd.32044020572889	Why this appeal to Teddy?
hvd.32044020572889	Will it — help you if I marry Mr. Bullard? ”- The man writhed.
hvd.32044020572889	Will you come? ” She shook her head.
hvd.32044020572889	Will you give me a straight answer to a straight question?
hvd.32044020572889	Will you say again that you believe in me? ” “ I believe in you with all my heart, ” she answered, striving for control.
hvd.32044020572889	Will you take it, or must I take it myself?
hvd.32044020572889	Will you? ” She attempted to smile, but her voice was grave.
hvd.32044020572889	With a sob she whispered, “ Teddy, Teddy, is it true? ” He did not answer.
hvd.32044020572889	Yet who could have sent it?
hvd.32044020572889	Yet why had she written and so quickly, to inform him of her bargain with Bullard?
hvd.32044020572889	You do n’t think now that it was sent by Bullard for purposes of his own? ” “ I feel that the warning was genuine and not Bul- lard's.
hvd.32044020572889	You have seen Mr. Craig's collection? ” “ Frequently, sir. ”- Bullard took a bundle of notes from his pocket.
hvd.32044020572889	You remember my younger brother, Caw? ” “ Yes, sir”—rather awkwardly.
hvd.32044020572889	You will give me your word for that? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044020572889	Your deputy is like you in appearance? ” “ Very; and as I ’ve had occasion to use him before, he knows my little ways.
hvd.32044020572889	Your pardon, miss, but that nice pistol » “ Oh, would you take it away from me, Caw? ” she sighed.
hvd.32044020572889	Your word? ” “ I am bound to trust to your wisdom, sir, ” said Caw, 30 TILL THE CLOCK STOPS slowly.
hvd.32044020572889	did you hear something just now? ” Lancaster started and caught his head a stunning blow on the sash.
hvd.32044020572889	do you think so? ” “ Well, it does n’t much matter, does it?
hvd.32044020572889	do you think so? ” “ Well, it does n’t much matter, does it?
hvd.32044020572889	till to- morrow! ”----- ter TILL THE CLOCK STOPS 225 for your father?
hvd.32044020572889	what's this? ” he cried at the extraor- dinary appearance of Bullard and the smoke wreaths in TILL THE CLOCK STOPS 287 the atmosphere.
hvd.32044020572889	“ A horrid bill — eh? ” He knew it was not.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Alan Craig – safe? ” he said in a husky whisper.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Alan, are you quite sure you want to marry me? ” “ What did I come home for: What am I here for now"And so forth.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Am I to hear your plan, Doris? ” “ Oh, it can never be carried out now.
hvd.32044020572889	“ And may I remind you, gentlemen, that you are dining at Dr. Handyside's in twenty minutes from now? ” He was going out when Alan recalled him.
hvd.32044020572889	“ And what does Mr. Lancaster say to that? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044020572889	“ And you feel there is no hope of inducing Mrs. Lan- caster to- to change? ” he said at last.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Any papers? ” “ Not a scrap. ” “ Money? ” “ Never you mind about that.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Any papers? ” “ Not a scrap. ” “ Money? ” “ Never you mind about that.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Anything fresh this morning? ” The other smiled.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Are n't we going too far? ” Lancaster inquired in a voice unnecessarily low.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Are they diamonds? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Are we nearly there? ” “ Hardly, but we can let her go now.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Are you all right? ” he whispered to the girl.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Bullard, have you some- thing bad to tell me? ” “ Finish your brandy.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Can you tell me if Mr. Stern of Stern& Lynoch has returned? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Car- lotta, ” he said, “ ca n’t we contrive to- to live on less? ” It was no new question.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Caw, how is my uncle? ” Handyside prevented a pause.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Did n't you and he understand my message to him in Teddy's wire? ” he asked at length.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Did you or did you not swindle me with those papers? ” “ An inadvertence on my part, if you please, Mr. Bullard. ” “ Oh, go to the devil!
hvd.32044020572889	“ Do you doubt it, Lancaster? ” “ N- no.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Do you think I had better see Mr. Lancaster?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Does that include his ‘ approval'?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Doris, do n't you really care for me? ” he asked pres- ently.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Doris, since you are going to marry me, what could be more natural than that I should want to help your dearest one out of his trouble?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Good Lord! ” he ex- claimed, “ is it possible that he is no longer tenant of the house?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Have you no sus- picions? ” “ I have; but they seem a bit far- fetched, especially now that I'm home.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Have you something unpleasant to say to my husband? ” she demanded.
hvd.32044020572889	“ How did you get it?
hvd.32044020572889	“ How long do the fuses burn? ” “ Two minutes to a sec.
hvd.32044020572889	“ How much exactly does Mr. Lancaster owe the Syndicate? ” Bullard started, but not without relief.
hvd.32044020572889	“ I say, Bullard, ” he said abruptly, “ you ’ll be good to my girl — won't you? ” Bullard's eyebrows went up, but his voice was kindly.
hvd.32044020572889	“ I say, Caw, ” he said, “ could you possibly get Mr. Lancaster something to drink?
hvd.32044020572889	“ In what way? ” Again she had to wait for his reply.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Is the game up, mister? ” asked the man at his elbow.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Is this what he spoke of, ” he en- quired softly, “ and when does it stop? ” The servant cleared his throat.
hvd.32044020572889	“ It ’s really true, is n't it? ” she whispered.
hvd.32044020572889	“ May I choose a lucky one for you, Mrs. Lancaster? ” he asked, and picked out a fairly large stone.
hvd.32044020572889	“ May I? ” A tap, and Caw came in with a telegram for Alan.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Me, for instance? ” “ Do n’t be absurd, Teddy. ” She flushed slightly.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Miss Handyside, was it you? ” he cried, taking her hand with diffidence.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Mother told me you were asleep, so I did n't disturb you — and I was unusually tired, dear. ” “ But he came? ” “ Oh, yes.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Now, Marvel, what the devil do you want? ” The visitor smiled deprecatingly into his revolving hat.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Oh, but you ca n’t mean it! ”- “ My dear girl, can I be franker?
hvd.32044020572889	“ On everythings, Mr. Craik. ” “ Do n’t you charge for your time? ” Guidet smiled and spread his hands.
hvd.32044020572889	“ On the other hand, I have never admired foolish people. ” “ I never said you were conceited, did I? ” he re- torted.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Out? ” “ No; writing, I think. ” “ How's your father?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Out? ” “ No; writing, I think. ” “ How's your father?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Really? ” he said.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Recognise it? ” he asked, holding up an inch of fine gold chain bearing a small nugget.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Shall I congratulate you, Doris? ” he asked gently.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Sir 2"“ You do n’t mind being left alone this evening? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Tell me about Mrs. Lancaster, ” she very charming? ” she went on.
hvd.32044020572889	“ They must have gone, ” she thought, “ yet how can I be sure?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Under lock and key? ” A nod.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Was Robert not thinking of going to bed? ” she casually enquired.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Well, Caw? ” “ Am I to speak, sir?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Well, Caw? ” “ Am I to speak, sir?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Were those in the box of any great value? ” Caw moistened his lips.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What am I to say to him, Alan? ” “ Just say that it is merely what my Uncle Christo- pher would have done, had he known.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What is it about? ” he asked wearily.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What is it?
hvd.32044020572889	“ What is it? ” she asked, all apprehension.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What key is this? ” she cried, holding it up.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What on earth is the matter? ” exclaimed Marjorie.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What the deuce is wrong with me? ” By the time the cigarette was finished he could, with a little more courage, have answered the question.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What was it? ” the girl enquired, almost coldly.
hvd.32044020572889	“ What's the matter, Lancaster? ” “ Oh, nothing — nothing! ” Lancaster sat up.
hvd.32044020572889	“ When did it hap- pen? ” “ A few days ago.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Where is the Green Box 2 Answer! ” “ Give me the four hundred, and I ’ll take you to it. ” “ Take me to it?
hvd.32044020572889	“ Who- who are you? ” Marjorie demanded with a regrettable quaver.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Why did n't you tell me last night? ” he repeated.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Why do you say that? ” “ Because I mean it — and it is all I have to say. ” He laughed shortly.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Will you be pleased to look at this, sir? ” The doctor read: — “ Registered letter received.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Would you mind shaking hands? ” said she.
hvd.32044020572889	“ Would you mind telling me why you wrote down that name last night? ” She became grave at once.
hvd.32044020572889	“ You are shocked, Carlotta? ” he murmured shame- facedly, appealingly.
hvd.32044020572889	“ You do n't feel like telling it just at once, do you? ” he enquired kindly.
hvd.32044020572889	“ You know of nothing which my uncle in- tended to make over to friends? ” “ Nothing whatever.
hvd.32044020572889	“ You know something? ” He shook his head.
hvd.32044020572889	“ You will go to- night?
hvd.32044058128489	So you admit that you administered his coup de grace to the late lamented Sergeant Simpkins? ”. hvd.32044058128489 'E showed me the back o'the'ouse, an ’ blowed if I did n't spot yer at yer winder first go off! ” “ That must've been early on, old man? hvd.32044058128489 106 THE CRIME DOCTOR “ Will you please go out? ” said Lady Vera, still with sorrow in her steady eyes. hvd.32044058128489 208 THE CRIME DOCTOR “ Yet even he gets depressed? ” “ He has had cause. hvd.32044058128489 A vicious circle, I think you must agree? ” “ If you can square it with the truth. ” “ Is n't it almost a truism, Mr. Vinson? hvd.32044058128489 A vicious circle, I think you must agree? ” “ If you can square it with the truth. ” “ Is n't it almost a truism, Mr. Vinson? hvd.32044058128489 Am I to understand that the whole thing was a practical joke, carefully rehearsed for my benefit? ” The doctor opened his shining eyes. hvd.32044058128489 And now 2x “ Yes, General? hvd.32044058128489 And the other fellow was a man who broke into my house to see Croucher the first night we had him there. ” “ Did they tell you so? ” “ No. hvd.32044058128489 And wot'ad I done? hvd.32044058128489 And you, and you alone, know why?
hvd.32044058128489	Are you free?
hvd.32044058128489	As it was, it left me with a bit of a squint, as 12 THE CRIME DOCTOR “ Easily? ” “ No.
hvd.32044058128489	Better to finish'em off at one fell blow, is n't it?
hvd.32044058128489	But I suppose his blood was up, as well as mine. ” “ And after you had — freed yourself? ” said the doctor, trying not to set his teeth.
hvd.32044058128489	But are you sure? ” asked Dollar, though he wanted to ask if that was all.
hvd.32044058128489	But it takes a Mostyn Scarth to cut as deep as that. ” “ Wot the'ell mikes yer fink of'i m? ” cried Croucher, in a fury at the very name.
hvd.32044058128489	But it was not exactly your idea? ” “ No.
hvd.32044058128489	But she simply would n't look the part, would she?
hvd.32044058128489	But was it?
hvd.32044058128489	But what else had they done, and where else had they been, within those sardonically silent walls?
hvd.32044058128489	But what would the Home Secretary say?
hvd.32044058128489	But what's a night's rest against such a tragedy as the whole thing's bound to be! ” “ Or such a mystery? ” suggested Topham Vinson.
hvd.32044058128489	Could n't you get into some knickerbockers and stick a sweater over all the rest?
hvd.32044058128489	Could n't you send him down here on some pretext, instead of taking me up to him? ” The crime doctor's face lit up as if by electricity.
hvd.32044058128489	Could there be so very much amiss in a household where they knew just what to do for one, and just what to leave undone?
hvd.32044058128489	Did anybody see him do it? ” The crime doctor smiled as he shook his head.
hvd.32044058128489	Did he tell you he had bitten him in the shoulder? ” “ No. ” “ Well, he did, only the other day.
hvd.32044058128489	Did n't you hear him? ” “ If he does, he's a>> “ Croucher!
hvd.32044058128489	Did you come to see how he was doing? ” Even in the stained light she looked so beaming now, so frankly triumphant, he made sure that was it.
hvd.32044058128489	Did you forget it was the toboggan races this morning?
hvd.32044058128489	Do I look as if I had? ” “ You look as if you'd seen a ghost, ” she told him, with a sudden twinkle of the big blue drops.
hvd.32044058128489	Do you mind giving him these magazines and papers, with my love?
hvd.32044058128489	Do you mind telling me why everybody is so sure that this man is the murderer?
hvd.32044058128489	Had they been up- stairs before Vera Moyle ran up the ladder?
hvd.32044058128489	Has she it always by her? ” “ Night and day, on a curb bracelet locked to her wrist! ” This time there were no professional pretenses.
hvd.32044058128489	He'll soon be all right! ” “ Captain — Dollar? ” “ No- doctor, nowadays — he called me down as one himself.
hvd.32044058128489	How about that for a tip? ” Croucher made no reply.
hvd.32044058128489	How can I toe the mark unless I get some sleep?
hvd.32044058128489	How do you suppose he managed that?
hvd.32044058128489	I buried you alive, did n't I? ” His eyes came from the wrecked window- seat.
hvd.32044058128489	I should n't be surprised if — ” “ Yes? ” 44 if my aunt had n't been in it somehow.
hvd.32044058128489	I suppose you do n't know what's been bothering him, Doctor Dollar?
hvd.32044058128489	I was there with a taxi meself 22 “ There to meet me, Shod? ” “ That's it.
hvd.32044058128489	I wish they did It's a house that wants them. ” “ You are rather a small party, are n't you? ” “ We are rather a grim party!
hvd.32044058128489	I'd back her not to run the risk of such another accident! ” “ And what if she rounded on me?
hvd.32044058128489	If I thought she was the woman>> “ What's that? ” said Dollar lethargically.
hvd.32044058128489	If you did n't commit yourself, Alfie, do n't you see as somebody else must'ave done? ” “ Oh, bring it up! ” cried Croucher under his breath.
hvd.32044058128489	In- handcuffs? ” And it was not her worst smile that was subdued in deference to the full glow of his shamefaced magnanimity.
hvd.32044058128489	Is it true? ”- “ One moment, ” said the girl, with a first trace of emotion.
hvd.32044058128489	Is my natural enemy a friend of yours?
hvd.32044058128489	Is that good enough?
hvd.32044058128489	Is there any reason for the revolver?
hvd.32044058128489	It means giving away a patient — don't you see? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.32044058128489	It will show you what chances he has had of giving things away — or — selling them! ” “ Is it as bad as that? ” “ Stockton swears it is.
hvd.32044058128489	May I ask what that is in your hand? ” It was a letter.
hvd.32044058128489	ONE POSSESSED 235 “ Like the Thugs? ”- “ Yes — like that sect of fiendish fanatics who went about strangling everybody they met!
hvd.32044058128489	Only temporary? ” the boy was faltering.
hvd.32044058128489	Poor old Muggins was such a bone between them! ” “ You do n't suppose he'd ended by turning on her? ” “ Hardly.
hvd.32044058128489	So it was Mr. Scarth you meant when you told me the other day that poor Croucher had fallen into such bad hands? ” “ Poor Croucher!
hvd.32044058128489	The Home Secretary left Euston at 2:45. ” “ Where for? ” She looked panic- stricken.
hvd.32044058128489	Was it conceivable that the blood- stained life- preserver would be enough fol him?
hvd.32044058128489	Was it not she who had done most of all to brutalize him?
hvd.32044058128489	Was there a concert?
hvd.32044058128489	We've run up against each other again, and I've asked you down for this next week- end l Can you manage it?
hvd.32044058128489	Were there any about? ” Dollar felt as cold down the back as though his sacred flame had never flickered behind iron bars.
hvd.32044058128489	What had happened?
hvd.32044058128489	What has happened? ” asked the doctor, jumping out of bed as Edenborough drew the cur- tains.
hvd.32044058128489	What is it of Shelley's, Mr. Edenborough? ” “ Only a bit of one of his letters, ” said the young man.
hvd.32044058128489	Where is Mr. Vinson?
hvd.32044058128489	Where's the fire, as I said afore?
hvd.32044058128489	Where? ” demanded the Secretary of State, with unstatesmanlike excitement.
hvd.32044058128489	Who? ” “ Lots o'people.
hvd.32044058128489	Why force a professional status on the mere dabbler in crime, who might never have dabbled again?
hvd.32044058128489	Why, wot the'ell you doin''ere, Shod? ” 92 THE CRIME DOCTOR “ Come to see you, old son, ” said Shoddy.
hvd.32044058128489	Would one man be likely to spread a thing like this against another if there were no bad blood between them? ” Scarth could not say.
hvd.32044058128489	Yet he showed me a rope just like it — meant for me! ” “ Do you mean just like the one that — hanged the gardener? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044058128489	You did n't think I done a job like this for the sake o ’ tikin''old o'yer'and, didger?
hvd.32044058128489	You're his doctor, are n't you? ” These questions quicker, but with a sensible check on any premature anxiety.
hvd.32044058128489	You're not going to have it off, are you?
hvd.32044058128489	on the whole Navy?
hvd.32044058128489	“ All, I suppose? ” he added, with a schoolboy sneer, when the answer was slow to come.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And I am the person it was done by, Doctor Dol- lar! ” “ It was — an accident? ” he said, hoarsely.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And now what about your train? ” “ I'm afraid there's not one till seven o'clock.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And what are you really doing about this — monster? ” he resumed, as who should accept the monster's existence for the sake of argument.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And what can any of you do for him, ” she cried fiercely—“except take him away from me? ” “ I will only answer for myself.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And what's to happen to him, doctor? ” “ I do n't know. ” The doctor gave a characteristic I94 THE CRIME DOCTOR shrug.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And who is our wonderful friend, doctor, when'e or she's at'ome? ” Doctor Dollar laughed as he pushed back his chair.
hvd.32044058128489	“ And you were roughly handled by Sergeant Simpkins? ” he suggested eagerly.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Are you suggesting that there's no love lost between him and Alt? ” “ I was not, indeed. ” Scarth seemed still aston- ished.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Are you sure he's asleep? ” Dollar stole across and back.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Are you telling him about our medical scandal? ” he inquired briskly of the bride.
hvd.32044058128489	“ But do you know what he's saying?
hvd.32044058128489	“ But it's more like me arskin ’ what you're up to in a'ouse like this? ” “ ’ Avin the time o'me life! ” whispered the ex- cited patient.
hvd.32044058128489	“ But surely that's an old wives'trick pushed be- yond all bounds? ” “ Pushed further than I intended, Mr. Vinson, I must confess.
hvd.32044058128489	“ But what about his patient? ” adroitly inquired the doctor.
hvd.32044058128489	“ But where were you? ” asked Topham Vinson, taking in every inch of him.
hvd.32044058128489	“ But who is he, Mrs. Edenborough? ” “ Poor Mr. Scarth! ” crowed the bride, brimming over with triumphant fun.
hvd.32044058128489	“ But why must you, Dollar?
hvd.32044058128489	“ But — don'cher see?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Ca n't I have my beastly leg set without chloroform?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Chloroform? ” he cried faintly.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Dead? ” was the doctor's husky echo.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Did I say anything? ” he asked with exaggerated embarrassment.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Did n't you guess how I found out about her car? ” “ How P ” “ Reported to me by the police! ” “ The police?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Did n't you guess how I found out about her car? ” “ How P ” “ Reported to me by the police! ” “ The police?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Did n't you know it was broken, too? ” said Lucy Edenborough gravely.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Did you hear how they got hold of it? ” “ Intercepted in the post, I gathered, on its way abroad. ” “ In our post, ” said Edenborough.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Do n’t you know the smell of bitter almonds, and have you smelt it yet?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Do you mean to say she'd draw back in the last week? ” “ She may not be able to help herself, ” was the grave reply.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Do you still refuse to give her name? ” demand- ed Topnam Vinson, exactly as though they had been talking all the time.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Does it look like one?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Does n't that take the cake? ” he cried, when he had swallowed his pique with a chastened chuckle.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Even at this hour?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Good God! ” “ Of course I did n't like him well enough for that, though he had put me against you! ” “ How? ” said Dollar grimly.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Got her prisoner? ” “ I should hope so!
hvd.32044058128489	“ How long has he been dead? ” said Topham Vinson, harshly; but in realty his blood was freezing at an unearthly smile in that unearthly light.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Hurting?
hvd.32044058128489	“ I had it from — the other detective. ” “ Not — ” and Dollar stopped to frown—“not Croucher himself? ”.
hvd.32044058128489	“ I have never denied it in my life. ” “ Hear that, Croucher? ” cried Scarth.
hvd.32044058128489	“ I have the prescription in my pocket. ” “ You have, doctor? ” “ Do n’t be angry with me, my dear fellow!
hvd.32044058128489	“ I think we've met before, my man? ” he had begun.
hvd.32044058128489	“ I want you to get into some clothes and come up to the ice- run as quick as possible! ” “ Why?
hvd.32044058128489	“ I wonder if he's sane enough for that? ” Their four eyes met in a protracted scrutiny, without a flicker on either side.
hvd.32044058128489	“ I ’ll tell you, Lady Vera, if you promise not to follow him by the next train. ” “ When does it go? ” “ Not for some time.
hvd.32044058128489	“ I ’ve just taken it from the fellow who took it from you. ” “ Who?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Is anything the matter? ” “ Is it possible you do n't know what? ” “ Is it anything to do with George?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Is anything the matter? ” “ Is it possible you do n't know what? ” “ Is it anything to do with George?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Is anything the matter? ” “ Is it possible you do n't know what? ” “ Is it anything to do with George?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Is it possible that you realize THE LIFE- PRESERVER 53 the position you are in?
hvd.32044058128489	“ It was only a rag — and I'll pay for the door. ” “ It ’ll be a great rag, wo n't it, if you fire bang into your own foot?
hvd.32044058128489	“ May he sit down for a min- ute, Lady Vera? ” She looked at him with cooling eyes.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Need you ask? ” said he.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Not the bit about the prussic acid, I hope? ” suggested the doctor, for all the world as if in fun.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Nothing, Scarth. ” “ Nothing?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Now will you do something more for me? ” “ No! ” she said flatly, and was at his elbow when he opened his own door across the landing.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Pax Monktons Chase? ” at last said one who seemed to have heard the name before.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Remember the concert at Winterwald, doctor, ” he went on, “ and our talk afterward, and the last talk we ever had there?
hvd.32044058128489	“ So you want to see him — now? ” “ I do.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Temporary, did you say?
hvd.32044058128489	“ That bein ’ just so, I puts away the barker — see? — no decepshun! ” The pistol dropped into a loud tweed pocket.
hvd.32044058128489	“ The fellow pitched a pathetic yarn? ” he con- jectured.
hvd.32044058128489	“ The fire? ” said he, as though seconds and not minutes had elapsed since the cryptic question.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Then I'll say what I know. ” “ And what do you know? ” Her back was to the wall.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well, what about it? ” the other queried, but only keenly, as he sat down at the table, too.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well, what do you know? ” demanded Edenbor- ough, in a fury of suspicion.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well, you do n't look a distinguished patient, do you? ” said the Home Secretary airily.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well? ” said Edenborough grimly.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well? ” “ He ’s somewhere in the house. ” “ This house? ” “ Why did n't you tell me? ” She nodded.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well? ” “ He ’s somewhere in the house. ” “ This house? ” “ Why did n't you tell me? ” She nodded.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Well? ” “ He ’s somewhere in the house. ” “ This house? ” “ Why did n't you tell me? ” She nodded.
hvd.32044058128489	“ What about the practise? ” asked Topham Vin- son, forcing himself back to facts.
hvd.32044058128489	“ What does that mean? ” he demanded with more control.
hvd.32044058128489	“ What else? ” cried the other, in blank astonish.
hvd.32044058128489	“ What the devil do you mean, Doctor Dollar?
hvd.32044058128489	“ What was that? ” said Edenborough, with a face that would not have imposed upon an infant.
hvd.32044058128489	“ What's going to happen to me?
hvd.32044058128489	“ What's my head all bandaged up for? ” he de- manded, fingering the turban on the pillow.
hvd.32044058128489	“ What's the matter with your eye? ” “ I ’ll tell you as you dress, only be as quick as you can.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Where did you get it? ” “ Specially Cut for me. ” Every line in his red man's face was a note of blank interrogation.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Where on earth did you find that?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Where the dooce does'e come in? ”- “ You may well ask! ” replied Dollar with involun- tary candor.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Which of you has borrowed my razor? ” said John Dollar.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Why should he be a marked man?
hvd.32044058128489	“ Why, Mr. Vinson, what's happened to the myrmidon? ” “ I thought you would like me to get rid of him, ” said Topham Vinson dryly.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Why? ” cried that cavalier.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Wo n't that meet the immediate case for martyrdom? ” And he managed another twinkle after all.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Wo n't that rather spoil your game? ” said Scarth, blandly.
hvd.32044058128489	“ You remember when you came to Prince's, doctor? ” “ I do, indeed. ” They both spoke as if it were weeks ago.
hvd.32044058128489	“ You will come, wo n't you?
hvd.32044058128489	“ You would n't lock me in on the other side? ” suggested Croucher suspiciously.
hvd.32044058128489	“ Your car is ready waiting for you at the door. ” “ Not really? ” “ Of course.
hvd.32044058128489	“'Ow the'ell did you get'ere? ” said Croucher huskilv.
hvd.hn1i4i	Abode?
hvd.hn1i4i	Age?
hvd.hn1i4i	Age?
hvd.hn1i4i	Ah,said Brett,"what was that address?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Am I to be killed at once?
hvd.hn1i4i	And does she live here constantly?
hvd.hn1i4i	And does she stop at Messina?
hvd.hn1i4i	And his name is Dubois?
hvd.hn1i4i	And now that I have told you all that you want to know, I suppose, may I ask you a question of some interest to myself? hvd.hn1i4i And now, Mr. Sharpe,"said Brett, turning to the other officer,"what did you observe?"
hvd.hn1i4i	And the other servants?
hvd.hn1i4i	And then?
hvd.hn1i4i	And what are they, sir?
hvd.hn1i4i	And what is that?
hvd.hn1i4i	And what message did you bring?
hvd.hn1i4i	And what then?
hvd.hn1i4i	And what were your thoughts?
hvd.hn1i4i	And why, monsieur?
hvd.hn1i4i	Anything else?
hvd.hn1i4i	Are you going to make any inquiries in the hotel, sir?
hvd.hn1i4i	Are you serious, old chap?
hvd.hn1i4i	At what time did you go there?
hvd.hn1i4i	But ca n't you explain matters a little more clearly? hvd.hn1i4i But certainly,"replied the porter, elevating his eyebrows;"what else could it be?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But is it not so?
hvd.hn1i4i	But look here, Brett: are you doing the right thing in this matter? hvd.hn1i4i But what about the Turks?'"
hvd.hn1i4i	But what about you?
hvd.hn1i4i	But what must we do?
hvd.hn1i4i	But you are probably armed, whereas I am defenceless? hvd.hn1i4i By the way,"inquired Gaultier,"have you learned anything else since your arrival?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Can it be possible that what you say is true?
hvd.hn1i4i	Can you introduce me to him?
hvd.hn1i4i	Can you recollect any of the special precautions taken to protect the gems? hvd.hn1i4i Did his Excellency and the other members of the mission eat food prepared in the ordinary way?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Did she see you?
hvd.hn1i4i	Did that shoot- ing affair convey anything more to you than what I have said?
hvd.hn1i4i	Did the gentleman with the sabre- cut on his face take any part therein?
hvd.hn1i4i	Did your brother call there as usual on Monday afternoon?
hvd.hn1i4i	Did your brother leave the house imme- diately?
hvd.hn1i4i	Did your brother say why the diamonds were brought to this country in the first in- stance?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do they live there alone?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you know how fast she is steaming?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you know who this messenger was?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you know,he said,"who is the proprietor of the Cabaret Noir?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you mean to say you have arrested the Earl of Fairholme?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you mean to say,said Fairholme, anxiously,"that you are contemplating another risky bit of business to- night?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you mean,cried Talbot, starting to his feet,"that you will stand by me?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you really believe,she said, turning to the barrister,"that you will soon be able to find my brother?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you require further proof?
hvd.hn1i4i	Does your name happen to be Gaultier?
hvd.hn1i4i	During the interval,said Hussein- ul- Mulk suavely,"is there anything you wish to do — any letters to write, or that sort of thing?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Fairholme, Talbot, you — what are Edith and I going to do?
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you any letters here for Monsieur Jean Beaujolais?
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you entrusted the Sultan's diamonds to the care of a scamp like this?
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you ever been associated with him be- fore?
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you had dejefiner, or have you time to join me in a cigarette?
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you received any letters for a person of that n^ne?
hvd.hn1i4i	He is a favoured lover of La Belle Chasseuse?
hvd.hn1i4i	He said:'Have they got the diamonds?' hvd.hn1i4i How are you feeling now?
hvd.hn1i4i	How can we fight?
hvd.hn1i4i	How did you do that?
hvd.hn1i4i	How long am I to sit chewing cigars in our rooms, then?
hvd.hn1i4i	How long have you known Dubois?
hvd.hn1i4i	How long have you known him?
hvd.hn1i4i	How many of these men were there?
hvd.hn1i4i	How many rooms were there in the flat? hvd.hn1i4i How much of the five thousand pounds given you by the Turks remains in your possession?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I am still fogged as to what you mean by their destination?
hvd.hn1i4i	I shouted,'Talbot, are you there? hvd.hn1i4i I suppose I may regard that as a compliment?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I suppose you have secured rooms in the hotel?
hvd.hn1i4i	I suppose you never heard the name of Jean Beaujolais before in your life?
hvd.hn1i4i	I suppose,said Fairholme,"that this crowd will watch us pretty closely, wo n't they?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I think you said that mademoiselle was in the South of France?
hvd.hn1i4i	I wonder how much my life was worth during the first five minutes?
hvd.hn1i4i	If the young lady will tell us why she wants to know, we may be able to help her?
hvd.hn1i4i	In French?
hvd.hn1i4i	In what capacity?
hvd.hn1i4i	In what way?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is Palermo a difficult port to make?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is he a Frenchman, then?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is he there?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is his name Henri?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is the address written by him?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is there anything else I can tell you?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is there no chance of your discovering the where- abouts of that fishing- smack?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is there no other way?
hvd.hn1i4i	It was in this room, then,continued Brett,"that the murders took place?"
hvd.hn1i4i	It will be adjourned, of course?
hvd.hn1i4i	Look here, old chap, are you fixed up for a cruise? hvd.hn1i4i Marguerite is Mademoiselle Beaucaire?"
hvd.hn1i4i	May I ask if you have adhered to that in- tention?
hvd.hn1i4i	May we expect to be busy to- night?
hvd.hn1i4i	My darling girl,he cried,"where have you been?
hvd.hn1i4i	Neither you nor I thought of punching that wire screen, did we?
hvd.hn1i4i	Of course, you do n't know why the diamonds were stolen?
hvd.hn1i4i	Pray tell me how?
hvd.hn1i4i	Rather an early hour for business, is n't it?
hvd.hn1i4i	Seen whom?
hvd.hn1i4i	Shall I turn on the hot air?
hvd.hn1i4i	Suppose we come across Talbot to- night, as you anticipate, where shall I find you to- morrow?
hvd.hn1i4i	Surely Miss Talbot can not be seri- ously hurt?
hvd.hn1i4i	Surely you do not doubt the evidence?
hvd.hn1i4i	That is as much as saying that there are no facts worth inquiring into to be learnt here?
hvd.hn1i4i	The old signor was walking with the Turks?
hvd.hn1i4i	Then he is not likely to be embarrassed for money?
hvd.hn1i4i	Then how shall I find words to express myself?
hvd.hn1i4i	Then what is it that makes you so downcast?
hvd.hn1i4i	Then you are quite certain it was Talbot?
hvd.hn1i4i	Then you have news of Jack?
hvd.hn1i4i	Then, Mr. Brett,put in Edith quietly, with a tired smile,"I suppose we may go to bed?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Then, why should they seize and gag you for conveying such a simple message?
hvd.hn1i4i	There is no other of the same name in Mont- martre?
hvd.hn1i4i	They were well dressed?
hvd.hn1i4i	This is the Cabaret Noir?
hvd.hn1i4i	To what do you allude?
hvd.hn1i4i	Was he alone?
hvd.hn1i4i	Was it for the happiness of seeing me that monsieur has visited the house?
hvd.hn1i4i	Was that the only reason?
hvd.hn1i4i	Was there anything else?
hvd.hn1i4i	Well, and what happened at the Foreign Office?
hvd.hn1i4i	Well, in the first instance, have you known him many years?
hvd.hn1i4i	Well, now, in what way can I help you regarding Hussein- ul- Mulk?
hvd.hn1i4i	Well, what is it?
hvd.hn1i4i	Well?
hvd.hn1i4i	Were they dressed in European clothes or in regular Turkish garments?
hvd.hn1i4i	What are you talking about?
hvd.hn1i4i	What cab?
hvd.hn1i4i	What do you mean by saying that Mr. Talbot would make no move in the matter until next morning?
hvd.hn1i4i	What do you say if we drive to the Rue Barbette at once?
hvd.hn1i4i	What happened next?
hvd.hn1i4i	What has happened since one o'clock this morning to make you so confident?
hvd.hn1i4i	What has that to do with you?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is he like?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is it that you want to know?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is it you want?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is it?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is the matter?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is the meaning of'Le Ver'?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is your name?
hvd.hn1i4i	What shall we answer?

hvd.hn1i4i	Would you mind explaining to me how this precious information reached you?
hvd.hn1i4i	Would you swear it was he, though his life depended on your accuracy?
hvd.hn1i4i	Yes?
hvd.hn1i4i	You are a noted thief, and you obtained your nickname by reason of your dexterity in picking locks and climbing through scullery windows?
hvd.hn1i4i	You are generally known as'The Worm?'
hvd.hn1i4i	You are quite positive that both letter and en- velope are in your brother's handwriting?
hvd.hn1i4i	You are quite sure he was one of the members of the mission?
hvd.hn1i4i	You are quite sure that his was a nature that could not stoop to a vulgar intrigue?
hvd.hn1i4i	You are sure?
hvd.hn1i4i	You can not do much by remaining here, can you, so I suppose you will not be long?
hvd.hn1i4i	You do not seem to expect much result?
hvd.hn1i4i	You have never seen them, Mr. Brett? hvd.hn1i4i You have received important news?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You have served several periods of imprison- ment, and have paid over 400 francs in fines?
hvd.hn1i4i	You know Mr. Winter?

hvd.hn1i4i	A STARTLING CLUE 59"Is it?"
hvd.hn1i4i	A note of agony came into his voice, as he added:"Do you know what this means to his sister?
hvd.hn1i4i	After a quick glance at the pasteboard, Gaultier continued —"I suppose, Mr. Brett, you have some motive in addressing me?
hvd.hn1i4i	Am I to be hanged, or imprisoned, or passed on to the Sul- tan for treatment?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Am I to understand that what has transpired this morning remains, we will not say a secret, but a myth, a mere idle phantasy as between you and me?"
hvd.hn1i4i	And the lady who lives there, a dark pretty woman with white skin, who is she?"
hvd.hn1i4i	And where is the Rue Barbette, monsieur?
hvd.hn1i4i	Any other commands?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Are any of these gentlemen here skilled players in your fashion?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Are you going to throw vitriol over her?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Are you married to Mademoiselle Beaucaire?"

hvd.hn1i4i	Brett?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Brett?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But Brett only said —"Have you brought it with you, Miss Talbot?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But I want you to tell me who lives in the house opposite?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But he was amazed to hear Brett's familiar voice asking —"Do you think the disguise sufficiently com- plete?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But may I ask, Brett, why you wish one of us to haul down the British flag?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But tell me,"went on Edith, whose excitement was readily construed as the pangs of jealousy,"who is the creature that lives with him?"
hvd.hn1i4i	But — but — what connection can Jack have with the theft of diamonds worth millions?
hvd.hn1i4i	By the way, may I trouble you for another cigarette?"

hvd.hn1i4i	Can we do it?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Did you lose sight of the couple after your escape?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do n't you see, old chap, that IN THE RUE BARBETTE 103 two of us might make a reasonable show if violence is attempted?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do the police really know of it?
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you approve?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you follow me?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you follow me?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Do you know anything about his private affairs?
hvd.hn1i4i	Funny, is n't it,"she rattled on,"that Jacques should be called'Le Bon,'for he is the worst man in Marseilles?
hvd.hn1i4i	Harry, you will come too, will you not?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you a headache?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you just come here?
hvd.hn1i4i	Have you noticed the party of Turks and a Frenchman grouped together in the opposite corner?"
hvd.hn1i4i	He closed the door behind him when he re- entered the room, and said quietly —"How did you happen to meet her?"
hvd.hn1i4i	He could not have gone to the Cabaret Noir in the time?"
hvd.hn1i4i	He held out his hand to wish her good- night, but she demanded with some surprise,"What are you going to do?
hvd.hn1i4i	He turned to Brett with a nonchalant question —"Mr. Brett, have you any influence with those two worthy Italian doctors?"
hvd.hn1i4i	However, do you feel capable of attending to this part of the programme?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I cried,'you understand English?'
hvd.hn1i4i	I presume that this is where the police guard was stationed?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I suppose you have in your service a reliable servant, endowed with a fair amount of physical strength?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I understand that the cigarette habit has grown very much of recent years in England?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I wonder if he is the fellow we followed to Montmartre this morning?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I wonder if it is so?"
hvd.hn1i4i	I wonder what he will write now?

hvd.hn1i4i	Indeed, she has not appeared in public for some months, May I ask how monsieur came to hear of her name?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Is it necessary that I should be kept in the dark as to the circumstances which have led up to this critical movement to- morrow?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Is it too hot?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is n't he a villain?
hvd.hn1i4i	Is n't it possible to charter a steamboat and set off after the smack?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Is n't it possible to obtain some trustworthy de- tective to keep watch in the street, and let me go into the place with you?
hvd.hn1i4i	It saves so much trouble, does it not?"
hvd.hn1i4i	It was I who mentioned the South of France, was it not?
hvd.hn1i4i	M MARIE 221 furiously to the hotel, where Brett, Fairholme, and her brother must be anxiously awaiting her return?

hvd.hn1i4i	MEHEMET ALPS NOTE 27"Your brother was quite sure that it was from Mehemet Ali himself?"
hvd.hn1i4i	May I ask when I shall be at liberty to do so?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Miss Talbot looked at him unflinchingly as she uttered the next question:"Do you mean that it serves to clear my brother from any suspicion?"
hvd.hn1i4i	My agent explains that he did not follow the Turk, ON GUARD 13?
hvd.hn1i4i	Now I won- der why that should be necessary?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Now we're getting on, are n't we?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Now, wo n't you start with a whiskey and soda, light a cigar, and draw an easy chair near the fire?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Perhaps you prefer to await his return?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Plenty of coal, champagne, and all that sort of thing?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Shall I go?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Speaking in broken English he said —'Vat you vant?'
hvd.hn1i4i	Surely you want some sleep?"
hvd.hn1i4i	THE MURDERS 43"What do you mean by the words'their attire'?"

hvd.hn1i4i	That's awkwardly put, is n't it?
hvd.hn1i4i	The knife and the pliers accompanied them, I sup- pose?"
hvd.hn1i4i	The only way in which you could be positively certain was to enter into conversation with him, was it not?"
hvd.hn1i4i	The stolid detective, however, quickly re- covered himself, and his first words were —"Did Mr. Brett fully understand my signal?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Then I will take personal charge of the Cabaret Noir, and""What about me?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Then, on the second floor — by the way, Marie, who is it that lives on the second floor?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Then, who could the woman be?
hvd.hn1i4i	There was sufficient of the landlady in her demeanour when she said,"And what would messieurs be pleased to command?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Thus reassured, he strode after La Belle Chasseuse, who cried out impatiently:"Come quick, Henri; what are you waiting for?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Vous etes un trls bel Anglais, mon vieux?
hvd.hn1i4i	Was there anything about his appearance that might lend credence to such a view?"
hvd.hn1i4i	What can I do for you?"
hvd.hn1i4i	What charge can we prefer against them?
hvd.hn1i4i	What happened afterwards?"
hvd.hn1i4i	What has happened?"
hvd.hn1i4i	What is it?"
hvd.hn1i4i	What is there to fear?
hvd.hn1i4i	What is to become of me?
hvd.hn1i4i	What need was there for such a trick?
hvd.hn1i4i	What reason can you have for seeking to shield these men who treated you in a barbarous way and left you to die a cruel death?"
hvd.hn1i4i	When Talbot heard the contents of the letter he remarked:"I suppose that'All goes well'means that I am still a prisoner?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Where did you get that shawl?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Where is your hat?
hvd.hn1i4i	Where's the fire?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Which way are you going?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Whilst the answering flags were being displayed Daubeney asked —"What does it all mean?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Who can identify either of them?
hvd.hn1i4i	Why on earth should you run such an awful risk, and take it alone, too?
hvd.hn1i4i	Why should they spare him when success had crowned their efforts?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Why, he would sooner read a blue- book than the Pink'Un/""If you were told that he had bolted with a nondescript young woman, what would you say?"
hvd.hn1i4i	Why, is n't that Jacques le Bon's boat?"

hvd.hn1i4i	Will you not try these cigarettes?
hvd.hn1i4i	Will you please come and help to explain matters to my uncle?
hvd.hn1i4i	Will you trust me so far as to tell me all that is known to you per sonally?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You are going on to Paris, you said?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You fully understand me?
hvd.hn1i4i	You know how the diamonds were abstracted from the house?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You know, of course, the manner of the last Sultan's death?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You remember that the lady's father, Gros Jean, visited the Gare de Lyon yesterday?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You see the joke?"
hvd.hn1i4i	You were not joking?"

chi.29978834	He fell down in that seat where you're sitting now and fainted right off, did n't he, Martin?
chi.29978834	His attitude of silence, Isobel, is ridicu- lous. ” “ Have you seen the evening papers? ” she asked pathetically.
chi.29978834	However — the murder- machine erected in accordance with the earlier plan was still there — ” “ Where? ” I cried in bewilderment.
chi.29978834	I am at your service. ” “ Where is your villa? ” asked Gatton suddenly.
chi.29978834	I ask you — what is it? ” Having thus spoken, he exchanged a significant look with the landlord and relapsed into silence.
chi.29978834	I began to grow keenly interested, and: “ Surely you took some steps in the matter? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	I do n’t think that mystery was ever cleared up? ” “ No, ” I replied, meeting his questioning glance; “ it never was, satisfactorily.
chi.29978834	I feel de- serted and hopeless and, for some reason, in terrible danger. ” “ Are you alone, then? ” I asked, in ever growing anxiety.
chi.29978834	I mean, Jack, what can he possibly have to conceal? ” Temporarily I felt myself to have become tongue- tied.
chi.29978834	I paused, idly curious concerning the message, and 1 I SEE THE EYES 3 “ The Red House, ” continued the sergeant, “ in Col- lege Road?
chi.29978834	I quite lost sight of him from the time that he came into the title — about four years ago, was it not? — until quite recently.
chi.29978834	I thought that I was about to learn the very fact which I was seeking, and accordingly: “ What is the age of Lady Burnham Coverly? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	In the event of his being put on trial for murder? ” Isobel nodded.
chi.29978834	Is he a negro? ” “ He ’s black, ” was the reply, “ black he is, although THE BLACK DOCTOR 139 his hair is white.
chi.29978834	Is it possible for you to come at once? ” “ What has alarmed you? ” I asked anxiously.
chi.29978834	Is it possible for you to come at once? ” “ What has alarmed you? ” I asked anxiously.
chi.29978834	Is that all? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	Is there no possible line of inquiry hitherto neglected which might lead to the discovery of the truth?
chi.29978834	It appears then, he, too, received his in- structions throughout by telephone. ” “ What? ” I exclaimed.
chi.29978834	May I ask if Lady Coverly knew of your proposed visit? ” “ She did not, ” I said with surprise.
chi.29978834	Maybe you was thinkin ’ of lookin'over it like? ” “ I was — yes. ” “ Oh, ah!
chi.29978834	Most significant of all, the Eurasian proposed that Sir Marcus should put up here! ” “ At the Abbey Inn? ” “ Exactly.
chi.29978834	Now if Gatton should arrive and find me in Isobel ’s flat, what construction would he put upon my presence?
chi.29978834	Now, what is that figure exactly? ” “ It is a votive offering of a kind used in Ancient Egypt by pilgrims to Bubastis.
chi.29978834	Oh, ah! ” “ But, ” I exclaimed, “ you surely do n’t mean that there are traps laid in the grounds of the Park?
chi.29978834	Recalling again that huskily caressing voice, I asked myself the ques- tion: Had I seen her before?
chi.29978834	Secondly, what was Dr. Damar Greefe's place in the scheme?
chi.29978834	Shall I add that the primary cause of my reclusion no longer operated so powerfully?
chi.29978834	Shot- guns can make a party feel sick, ca n’t they?
chi.29978834	Some connection between this room and the ga- rage? ” Gatton, who was kneeling examining a lower panel of the door, looked up with a grim smile.
chi.29978834	THE BLACK DOCTOR 137 “ How is that?
chi.29978834	THE BLACK DOCTOR 143 “ Did you ever hear tell of the evil eye? ” he asked, and peered at me cunningly.
chi.29978834	THE CLAWS OF THE CAT 307 “ Can you do it? ” “ In the circumstances — yes! ” I said.
chi.29978834	THE SCARRED MAN 115 “ For what reason? ” I asked idly; the conversation was beginning to bore me.
chi.29978834	THE VELVET CURTAIN 93 “ Does anything strike you as curious about this arrangement? ” said my companion.
chi.29978834	That's all I know or care; and dumb l ’ ’ “ Dumb'and a friend of Hawkins? ” 156 THE GREEN EYES OF BAST “ God knows.
chi.29978834	That's rather awkward; in fact”—he frowned perplexedly—“it ’s damned awk- ward! ” “ What do you mean? ” I demanded.
chi.29978834	The car is at Manton now. ” “ Why this disguise? ” “ I will explain in a moment.
chi.29978834	The identity of the nurse is evident, I think? ” “ Perfectly evident.
chi.29978834	The tension of that silence becoming insupportable: “ You will not stay here alone? ” I asked in an un- natural voice.
chi.29978834	Then he arranged to meet me for lunch at the Carlton to- day. ” “ But surely he can satisfactorily account for his movements?
chi.29978834	Then you have to consider — Miss Merlin. ” “ In what way? ” I demanded.
chi.29978834	Then, who was the “ niece ” so closely guarded by Dr. Greefe?
chi.29978834	Then: “ Surely the Park is still occupied by Lady Cov- erly? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	There is one witness who can clear up any doubt on the sub- ject. ” “ You mean Marie? ” “ Exactly.
chi.29978834	Therefore: “ Is he badly disfigured? ” I persisted.
chi.29978834	They was goin’ to show him the road to Manton. ” “ Cassim? ” “ Aye. ” Martin growled and walked behind the bar- counter.
chi.29978834	Things ai n’t right. ” “ Do you know if — a lady — resides with Dr. Greefe? ” “ Maybe — maybe not.
chi.29978834	Towards whom? ” “ Towards me. ” “ But – ” “ Oh, it's quite incomprehensible, Jack, and it is making me horribly unhappy.
chi.29978834	Was it Mrs. Wentworth herself who'phoned? ” “ No; I think not.
chi.29978834	Was it a selfish joy, I wonder, which possessed me as I noted the restrained impatience with which Isobel spoke of Coverly?
chi.29978834	Well — there's some likes a bit o ’ dan- ger. ” “ Danger? ” I echoed.
chi.29978834	What could it be that Coverly was concealing?
chi.29978834	What else can it mean?
chi.29978834	What must we do, Gatton?
chi.29978834	What object underlay her diverse activities?
chi.29978834	What then did it all mean?
chi.29978834	What then? ” “ That is all that the agent had to say. ” “ What, that is all? ” “ Substantially there is nothing more.
chi.29978834	What then? ” “ That is all that the agent had to say. ” “ What, that is all? ” “ Substantially there is nothing more.
chi.29978834	What was that shot? ” “ A signal!
chi.29978834	What was the purpose of the watch and ward kept by the gipsy game- keeper over the grounds and ap- proaches to the house?
chi.29978834	What's he doin’ of up there at Park all day?
chi.29978834	When did it happen? ” “ Last night.
chi.29978834	Whereupon: “ Will you have tea or coffee for breakfast? ” in-! quired Coates.
chi.29978834	Who else, that we know about, is associated, or ever has been associated with Egypt? ” “ But — the woman? ” “ Ah! ” said Gatton.
chi.29978834	Who else, that we know about, is associated, or ever has been associated with Egypt? ” “ But — the woman? ” “ Ah! ” said Gatton.
chi.29978834	Who was Sir Marcus ’s solicitor? ” Morris gave the desired information in a tired, tone- less voice, and we departed.
chi.29978834	Who was he?
chi.29978834	Who was this woman whose elusive figure appeared at every turn in the case?
chi.29978834	Why had the masterful Eurasian retired to that retreat in company with his black servitor?
chi.29978834	Why have you been masquerad- ing in this fashion?
chi.29978834	Wilkins sleeps over the stables — ” “ Can you make him hear without going down- Stairs? ” “ I can try, ” was the answer.
chi.29978834	You are looking for spoor, you un- derstand? ” “ Spoor?
chi.29978834	You are looking for spoor, you un- derstand? ” “ Spoor?
chi.29978834	You know the Red House in College Road? ” 4.
chi.29978834	You mean the empty house? ” inquired the constable.
chi.29978834	You remember Aunt told you she was leaving. ” “ There is the girl, Mary? ” “ Aunt'phoned for her to join her at the hospitall ” “ What!
chi.29978834	You understand?
chi.29978834	You visited Friar's Park? ” “ I did.
chi.29978834	You'll bear me out, sir, if there's any complaint? ” “ Certainly, ” I replied.
chi.29978834	Your place is right off the beat, is n’t it? ” mused my acquaintance, as sheltered from the keen wind I began to load my briar.
chi.29978834	an accident? ” “ I suppose so. ” “ But the servants? ” “ Cook left this morning.
chi.29978834	an accident? ” “ I suppose so. ” “ But the servants? ” “ Cook left this morning.
chi.29978834	we must chance the gas! ” “ Why?
chi.29978834	“ A tall woman, very fine figure, beautifully dressed? ” “ I think it is probably the same, ” I said.
chi.29978834	“ Ai n’t man- traps dangerous?
chi.29978834	“ And the agent? ” I asked in a rather toneless voice.
chi.29978834	“ And they were? ” Mr. Hines leaned forward, tapping me on the knee confidentially.
chi.29978834	“ Are you quite sure that you will not be nervous on your way? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	“ At your throat? ” said I.
chi.29978834	“ Besides — who put the body into the crate?
chi.29978834	“ But the purpose of it? ” muttered Gatton help- lessly.
chi.29978834	“ Can nothing be done, Gatton?
chi.29978834	“ Can you possibly come along at once? ” he asked.
chi.29978834	“ Can you tell me where I shall find him? ” The woman stared at me in a strange and almost stupefied manner.
chi.29978834	“ College Road? ” he repeated.
chi.29978834	“ Did you know Sir Marcus? ” I asked, speaking as gently as I could.
chi.29978834	“ Did you look about you at all before opening this door? ” “ Only long enough to find where it was, sir.
chi.29978834	“ Do you notice a peculiar smell? ” “ I do — a most foul and abominable smell. ” Gatton nodded grimly.
chi.29978834	“ Does he know you, sir? ” “ Oh, yes, ” I answered; “ we have met before.
chi.29978834	“ Does he refer to Marie? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	“ Gatton! ” I said, “ do you understand?
chi.29978834	“ Gatton, ” I said—“what the devil are you driving at? ” He slightly shrugged his shoulders.
chi.29978834	“ Gatton| What on earth does this mean?
chi.29978834	“ He still refused to explain his movements on the night of the murder? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	“ He ’s right, ai n't he, Martin? ” Martin, the landlord, growled.
chi.29978834	“ I believe he was the first victim. ” “ The first victim? ” “ Mr.
chi.29978834	“ I never was an eavesdrop- per. ” “ I suggest it was the same woman that Sir Marcus went to see last night? ” Gatton continued.
chi.29978834	“ I suppose so, ” she said sadly; “ it seems madness, does n’t it? ” “ Absolute madness! ” I agreed.
chi.29978834	“ I understood that my niece was here? ” “ Your niece! ” I exclaimed, and my astonishment was quite unfeigned.
chi.29978834	“ I will come. ” “ And, ” continued the voice—“could you spare Coates with the car for an hour? ” “ Certainly, ” I replied.
chi.29978834	“ I ’m going to put this candle in your room and then you and I are going to run. ” “ Run? ” I cried.
chi.29978834	“ If anybody had, we'd have had the law on him long ago. ” “ And is Lady Burnham often seen about? ” I in- quired.
chi.29978834	“ Inspector Gatton asked you this? ” “ He did, sir.
chi.29978834	“ Is he a friend of yours? ” she inquired.
chi.29978834	“ Is it something to do with the discovery at the docks this morning, sir? ” “ It is, Coates, ” I replied.
chi.29978834	“ Is it very valuable? ” he inquired.
chi.29978834	“ Lady Burnham?
chi.29978834	“ Look/ look P ” “ What the devil is it? ” I muttered; and turning, I stared into his face.
chi.29978834	“ May I know the particulars? ” “ Certainly.
chi.29978834	“ Oh, no, sir; he died in foreign parts, but they brought him home to bury him, they did. ” “ Do you know of what he died? ” “ Oh, ah.
chi.29978834	“ Shall you be going out again to- night, sir? ” asked Coates, standing rigidly to attention as was his custom when addressing me.
chi.29978834	“ Shall you require me again to- night, sir? ” he in- quired.
chi.29978834	“ Sir Burnham has been dead for several years, I believe? ” I asked tentatively.
chi.29978834	“ Surely, ” I said, “ the rain has ceased? ” “ Temporarily, ” he replied, glancing toward the ter- race.
chi.29978834	“ The Abbey Inn ” “ Ah! ” said he—“you’ve solved the mystery, have you?
chi.29978834	“ Then Dr. Greefe is not popular? ” “ Popular! ” echoed the old man.
chi.29978834	“ To the best of my knowledge the Red House has been vacant for twelve months or more. ” “ Has it? ” exclaimed the sergeant.
chi.29978834	“ To what danger do you re- fer? ” He surveyed me with cunning, old rheumy eyes, and: “ What about man- traps? ” he inquired.
chi.29978834	“ To what danger do you re- fer? ” He surveyed me with cunning, old rheumy eyes, and: “ What about man- traps? ” he inquired.
chi.29978834	“ To whom do you suppose you are indebted for the telephone trick? ” he asked.
chi.29978834	“ Very touchy, I should think? ” “ Touchy? ” repeated Hawkins, glancing up quickly.
chi.29978834	“ Very touchy, I should think? ” “ Touchy? ” repeated Hawkins, glancing up quickly.
chi.29978834	“ Well, ” continued Hawkins—“it ’s kind o'funny, ai n’t it, Martin? ” The landlord growled.
chi.29978834	“ Were the cousins good friends? ” continued the even, remorseless voice of the inquisitor.
chi.29978834	“ What I can not understand is a sort of attitude of resentment which he has lately adopted. ” “ Of resentment?
chi.29978834	“ What are you talking about? ”* “ I am talking of the Oritoga mystery, ’ ” I replied.
chi.29978834	“ What are your arrangements in the case of fire? ” continued the Inspector.
chi.29978834	“ What can it be? ” “ Stand back, ” he said strangely, and pulled me out into the porch.
chi.29978834	“ What can you expect? ” said I.
chi.29978834	“ What do you mean?
chi.29978834	“ What do you mean?
chi.29978834	“ What is the object of all this? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	“ What woman? ” demanded Gatton.
chi.29978834	“ What you may term the hocus- pocus side of the case, ” he replied, “ turns on matters Egyptian, does n’t it?
chi.29978834	“ What's my job, for instance?
chi.29978834	“ What's the game? ” he demanded.
chi.29978834	“ Whatever happens or whoever knocks do n’t open to any one, you understand?
chi.29978834	“ When did you last see Coverly? ” Isobel raised her head wearily.
chi.29978834	“ Where can I find a candle? ” “ There is one on the dressing- table just to the left of the window.
chi.29978834	“ Where is that, Sir? ” “ It does n’t matter, ” said Gatton shortly, “ if the name is unfamiliar to you.
chi.29978834	“ Yes, Coates? ” “ About half an hour ago, sir, the dogs all around started howling, sir.
chi.29978834	“ Yes? ” I said eagerly.
chi.29978834	“ Yes? ” said Gatton eagerly, at sight of the new- COmer.
chi.29978834	“ You are worried about Eric? ” I said, when we had exchanged those rather formal greetings in which I think we took mutual shelter.
chi.29978834	“ You do n't mean to tell me, Isobel, that Coverly has persisted in his silence respecting his movements last night?
chi.29978834	“ You do n’t think that I or Eric have anything to hide? ” 38 THE GREEN EYES OF BAST “ Certainly not.
chi.29978834	“ You have orders to admit no one, constable? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	“ You hear it? ” rapped Gatton.
chi.29978834	“ You mean she tried to throttle you? ” “ Throttle me! ” he exclaimed scornfully.
chi.29978834	“ You mean that he was in the house at the time that the constable and I opened the garage? ” “ I do.
chi.29978834	“ You mean that they are howling? ” “ Howling! ” she answered.
chi.29978834	“ You might start and lead the way. ” “ Can I use my electric torch? ” I asked.
chi.29978834	“ You see? ” he continued.
chi.29978834	“ You suggest that I should go down to Friar's Park and interview Lady Burnham Coverly? ” “ Exactly, ” replied Gatton.
chi.29978834	“ You will have seen the daily papers? ” asked the Inspector.
hvd.hn1q9i	Are you an Englishman? ” she asked. hvd.hn1q9i Are you ill? ”"No.
hvd.hn1q9i	Bobs, have you taken a dislike to me, or to the place? ”Cecily, you foolish one!
hvd.hn1q9i	But will you sleep, Ashton? ”No.
hvd.hn1q9i	Did Mildred Downer presume to come to this house? ” he said sternly. hvd.hn1q9i Did this come by messenger, Brooks? ” “ Apparently, Lady Trask.
hvd.hn1q9i	Do you know about Captain O'Toole?
hvd.hn1q9i	Does n't this air taste like pleasant fruit? ” she asked him. hvd.hn1q9i He has offered me his insulting homage, as he does all women"“ Pooh, where's your sense of humour?
hvd.hn1q9i	He keeps a mistress. ” “ Does he?
hvd.hn1q9i	How was the poet? hvd.hn1q9i I came on orders. ” “ From whom?"
hvd.hn1q9i	I had not thought of it. ” ars 138 The Clutch of Circumstance “ They always do, in song and story. ” “ Do they? hvd.hn1q9i I must have heard some one say she was sailing- 110 The Clutch of Circumstance “ Did Kendrick tell you the name of the ship? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q9i	I never saw or heard anything like her. ”She is marvellous, is n't she?"
hvd.hn1q9i	I've thought of it. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1q9i	Is it O'Toole you care for? ” he demanded. hvd.hn1q9i Is it about Larry?"
hvd.hn1q9i	Is it safe for ye to be seein'me here? ” “ Probably not. ” “ Another assignment? hvd.hn1q9i Is it safe for ye to be seein'me here? ” “ Probably not. ” “ Another assignment?
hvd.hn1q9i	Lady Bobs, ye beautiful Bobs! ”Evening, Larry. ”"How is it ye're all lee alone, woman? ” “ Ashton is at the club.
hvd.hn1q9i	Mildred, what is it? hvd.hn1q9i Must you? ” “ Dear, I have only twelve days, you know- “ Oh, do n't! ” he begged her, his face in his hands.
hvd.hn1q9i	Poor lad- can you blame him?
hvd.hn1q9i	That's your secret, is n't it? hvd.hn1q9i What can a man say to that? ” he asked, with his big boy smile.
hvd.hn1q9i	What do you do to rest yourself? ” “ I dig.
hvd.hn1q9i	What is a million miles? ” She laughed and they turned their horses to ride back. hvd.hn1q9i What is it you want to tell me? ” Roberta asked him.
hvd.hn1q9i	What is the next line, Mallory?
hvd.hn1q9i	What is this thing we call patriotism? hvd.hn1q9i What's happened to Bobs, Ashton? ” Cecily asked him curiously.
hvd.hn1q9i	Why do you hate him so? ” she inquired. hvd.hn1q9i Would it help you if I- if we sat together for a while and faced this thing out?"
hvd.hn1q9i	You did? hvd.hn1q9i You remember Basil Languedoc, Bobs?
hvd.hn1q9i	You're very tired? ” “ Yes, I am. hvd.hn1q9i * Yes, Ashton? ” she questioned, aware of his gaze. hvd.hn1q9i ... What was it he had said to her? hvd.hn1q9i 40 The Clutch of Circumstance8: “ Why?"
hvd.hn1q9i	A taste for me is like a germ, men have died of it. ” “ Of the taste or the cure? ”"Both.
hvd.hn1q9i	According to the law of England, Larry and I were justly condemned as en- emies, but my question is, is n't there a larger law of patriotism?
hvd.hn1q9i	And why not?
hvd.hn1q9i	Are you an American? ” he added abruptly.
hvd.hn1q9i	Are you ill? ” “ It's nothing.
hvd.hn1q9i	At least I told him when we were married. ” “ He never saw him? ” “ Oh, no.
hvd.hn1q9i	Basil could recite his poems, Ivan could sing, and I could provide the garden and the food. ”"Must we? ” sighed Captain Insull.
hvd.hn1q9i	But I want to consider you only —"“ Do you think you can sleep?"
hvd.hn1q9i	But how could Ivan, the singing giant, be?
hvd.hn1q9i	But what about Lady Trask?
hvd.hn1q9i	But why do you stay in town this hot weather? ” “ Ashton has to stay.
hvd.hn1q9i	CHAPTER IV “ What is the charge? ” Sir Ashton brought himself to say at last.
hvd.hn1q9i	Ca n't I do anything for you? ” “ No, thanks.
hvd.hn1q9i	Can you come on short notice?"
hvd.hn1q9i	Chippewa- Apache? ” “ Who knows.
hvd.hn1q9i	Could n't you take Lady Trask's car and go for a drive? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1q9i	Could this shock have unsettled her mind? ” “ I think her mind was clear."
hvd.hn1q9i	Could you manage that? ”"Yes, it must be managed.
hvd.hn1q9i	Could you see Sir Andrew Stark for a little and tell him some things he must know? ” “ No, I can not see any one.
hvd.hn1q9i	Death?
hvd.hn1q9i	Did he tell you he was leaving in the morning?"
hvd.hn1q9i	Did n't you have to swear allegiance?
hvd.hn1q9i	Did she mind? ” “ She did.
hvd.hn1q9i	Do you expect me to read my poems to the vil- lage green grocer on a half holiday?"
hvd.hn1q9i	Does it matter? ” wearily.
hvd.hn1q9i	Excellent. ” “ What are you talking about?
hvd.hn1q9i	France, Italy, Russia, were they not busy rescuing humanity?
hvd.hn1q9i	Give up- to- mor- row. ” “ You mean —? ” “ To- day is enough. ” “ La Cigale et La Fourmi?"
hvd.hn1q9i	Give up- to- mor- row. ” “ You mean —? ” “ To- day is enough. ” “ La Cigale et La Fourmi?"
hvd.hn1q9i	Going on with your work, developing, loving, growing wiser. ” “ Any God in yours? ” “ Oh, yes.
hvd.hn1q9i	Having flung from her one established loyalty, was she thereby cast loose from all loyalty?
hvd.hn1q9i	He died when I was fifteen. ” The Clutch of Circumstance 63 “ Your mother's father? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1q9i	He died when I was twenty. ” “ Did he have German sympathies? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1q9i	He gave the chauffeur an order and got in after them.."Are we commandeered? ” inquired Cecily.
hvd.hn1q9i	He may stand under gunfire, but will he stand under Languedoc's poetry? ” “ Hush, Saul, or I'll brain thee with a peb- ble,"said the poet sweetly.
hvd.hn1q9i	How can we defend you unless you help us? ” “ You can not help me, Ashton. ” She closed her eyes and would not speak any more.
hvd.hn1q9i	How could any one have found out, Ashton?"
hvd.hn1q9i	How could he be at the same time, as ruthless as she knew him to be?
hvd.hn1q9i	How could she have failed to see that the time to speak had not come?
hvd.hn1q9i	How do you suppose the immortal hope was planted in all our hearts? ” “ We must presuppose a plan.
hvd.hn1q9i	How else would the fit survive? ” She made a sound of agreement that caught his attention.
hvd.hn1q9i	How- do, Ashton? ” She looked about.
hvd.hn1q9i	I amuse my friends, and bedevil my husband — is that enough of my label? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1q9i	I beg you to go away at once. ”"Why do you want me to go? ” “ Because I'd sell my soul to keep you from unhappiness!"
hvd.hn1q9i	I came to tell you'“ Yes? ” “ It was Carter, the young American.

hvd.hn1q9i	“ You would have preferred me, alone? ” “ I expected to talk shop with your hus- band, ” he evaded.
hvd.hn1qpj	Ah, then it was you I heard, when I knocked? ” interposed Cleek. hvd.hn1qpj And what time did you say that was? ” put in Cleek with ill- concealed interest.
hvd.hn1qpj	And where was the revolver found? ” the Coroner inquired. hvd.hn1qpj Are you sure? ” he persisted, laying a tense hand upon Dollops'arm.
hvd.hn1qpj	Better be moving on, had n't we? hvd.hn1qpj Good Lord man, sir, I mean,"he exclaimed, agitatedly, “ but what's in the wind now? ” “ Scent and sense, my good fellow, ” said Cleek.
hvd.hn1qpj	How do you know that? ” asked Cleek, to whom she was talking at the time. hvd.hn1qpj In the house itself, did you say?"
hvd.hn1qpj	Jewels? ” he questioned, musingly. hvd.hn1qpj What is this the man tells me?
hvd.hn1qpj	You are absolutely sure you have no knowledge of the murder, no suspicion? ” For the briefest second she seemed to hesitate. hvd.hn1qpj Your first belief, then, ” the Coroner said, quietly, “ was that the deceased was shot by the revolver at his side?"
hvd.hn1qpj	... What's that, Sir 292 The Riddle of the Purple Emperor Edgar?
hvd.hn1qpj	126 “ What have you done with the girl?
hvd.hn1qpj	26 The Riddle of the Purple Emperor wrong? ” she said quickly.
hvd.hn1qpj	A seal ring?
hvd.hn1qpj	A woman's possibly? ” Something like fear came into the doctor's face, and was gone again in a twinkling.
hvd.hn1qpj	Ailsa, tell me, will you?
hvd.hn1qpj	All we know is that a man was seen to go in-"“ By whom?"
hvd.hn1qpj	And downstairs, Miss Cheyne said aloud with a queer little chuckle, when the girl had left the room:"See your friends?
hvd.hn1qpj	And how was it he was so quickly on the spot?
hvd.hn1qpj	And how?"
hvd.hn1qpj	And if so, who was this woman?
hvd.hn1qpj	And knew all about precious stones?
hvd.hn1qpj	And what had he been doing with the revolver in his pocket on that first night?
hvd.hn1qpj	And what of Lady Margaret herself?
hvd.hn1qpj	And — what?
hvd.hn1qpj	Anglo- Indian, was he?
hvd.hn1qpj	Are we mad or dreaming?
hvd.hn1qpj	As if from some distance he could hear Roberts's grumbling bellow: “ Miss Cheyne?
hvd.hn1qpj	Besides, there were the marks of a heavy seal ring upon the throat. ” A seal ring?
hvd.hn1qpj	Bobby Wynne?
hvd.hn1qpj	But if you don't-"“ What have you done with the girl?
hvd.hn1qpj	But now what about that story which we are all waiting so breathlessly for?
hvd.hn1qpj	But was it a woman, or simply a man in the flowing robes of the East?
hvd.hn1qpj	But was it true?
hvd.hn1qpj	But what I want to know is, where Lady Margaret is, Mr. Headland?
hvd.hn1qpj	But what made you ask?"
hvd.hn1qpj	But who?
hvd.hn1qpj	But why do you ask? ” “ Oh, just a fancy of mine, that's all, ” replied Cleek with apparent irrelevance.
hvd.hn1qpj	By the bye, is Lennard outside? ” “ Yes, ” said Mr. Narkom.
hvd.hn1qpj	By whom?
hvd.hn1qpj	Ca n't you get rid of her, Aunt?
hvd.hn1qpj	Can you come with me?
hvd.hn1qpj	Close as that, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	Coming along, Headland? ”.
hvd.hn1qpj	Coming, Ailsa?
hvd.hn1qpj	Did Sir Edgar know, and was he shielding her; con- cealing her in London?
hvd.hn1qpj	Did n't you hear it? ” She struggled to get up, but sank back with a moan at the pain in her ankle.
hvd.hn1qpj	Did n't you meet any one else at all?
hvd.hn1qpj	Did she already suspect her customer of sinister designs? ” “ Goodness knows!
hvd.hn1qpj	Did you kill the old lady?
hvd.hn1qpj	Did you notice the gold lace scarf also? ” Mr. Narkom's voice was full of anxiety.
hvd.hn1qpj	Did you see the man's eyes?
hvd.hn1qpj	Did you? ” · “ No, that I certainly did not.
hvd.hn1qpj	Do n't tell me you've discovered the truth at last? ” Cleek gave out a little triumphant laugh.
hvd.hn1qpj	Do n't you think so? ” Sir Edgar started as though someone had stabbed 152 The Riddle of the Purple Emperor him.
hvd.hn1qpj	Do n't you think you could take the law into your own hands and force an entry?
hvd.hn1qpj	Do you happen to know from where Dr. Verrall came to this place? ” “ India, I believe.
hvd.hn1qpj	Do you think you know? ” “ That I do, sir.
hvd.hn1qpj	Does he think he is going to find Lady Margaret wan- dering about Piccadilly Circus?
hvd.hn1qpj	For Miss Cheyne dislikes me intensely and “ Any reason for that, sir? ” queried Mr. Headland with an air of bland politeness.
hvd.hn1qpj	For one thing, why should Lady Brenton wish to wear my things?
hvd.hn1qpj	For what?
hvd.hn1qpj	For ’ e was coming back from the station"“ How do you know that? ” “ Because'e said so,"responded the constable, decisively.
hvd.hn1qpj	Going to make any ‘ alter- ations'in your appearance?"
hvd.hn1qpj	Had it 230 · A Twisted Clue 231 then been only a blind?
hvd.hn1qpj	Had she meant Edgar Verrall then, and not Sir Edgar Brenton after all?
hvd.hn1qpj	Had the desperate lover conceived the plot to murder the woman whom he believed to stand in the way of his marriage with Lady Margaret?
hvd.hn1qpj	He could easily have obtained the prussic acid; who better than a doctor with his own private dispensary?
hvd.hn1qpj	He recalled Jennifer's words: “ Edgar- s0 he did leave"Leave maybe — but what about the revolver?
hvd.hn1qpj	His move- ments will possibly be somewhat interesting, and I'd like to keep posted regarding them So she was walking in her sleep then, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	How and where?-or perhaps you do n't know?"
hvd.hn1qpj	How did I come to think of it?
hvd.hn1qpj	How did I find out where Lady Margaret was hidden and by whom?
hvd.hn1qpj	How did you come to go to Cheyne Court again?
hvd.hn1qpj	How do I know that you did n't kill him yourself for that matter?
hvd.hn1qpj	How she got in, fair licks me, but she's in right enough and “ What's that? ” rapped out Cleek, sharply.
hvd.hn1qpj	I do n't know how I shall ever pay him. ” Hmn- Pay him?
hvd.hn1qpj	I do not think that either the police or the other members of the gang would have thought of searching in so queer a hiding place, do you?
hvd.hn1qpj	I suppose she's all right? ” he asked, a little irrelevantly.
hvd.hn1qpj	I truly did not! ” “ What man, my dear young lady? ” asked the startled Coroner before any one else could speak.
hvd.hn1qpj	I wonder why were you not honest with me? ”.
hvd.hn1qpj	I'll not be speaking the black word against anybody, but sure an'I belave I know the man what did it-"In the Tiger's Clutches 79 “ What's that?
hvd.hn1qpj	If it had been Miss Jennifer, what was she doing that other night when the man was murdered?
hvd.hn1qpj	If she is innocent, what was she doing in that room?
hvd.hn1qpj	If she was so fond of Lady Margaret, why had she not gone to the sta- tion to meet her?
hvd.hn1qpj	In the Tiger's Clutches 89 were these dreadful people who laughed, joked, and drank with her aunt as though they were equal in station?
hvd.hn1qpj	It must be the same woman I myself saw a month ago; and yet how does Miss Jennifer come to be there?
hvd.hn1qpj	Jennifer Wynne, whose deception was so obvious; Sir Edgar Brenton, supposed to be in town; or the unknown stranger whose footprint they had found?
hvd.hn1qpj	Kill whom, Mr. Dall?
hvd.hn1qpj	Lady Margaret Cheyne did you say?
hvd.hn1qpj	Lord Cheyne now- didn't he marry Miss Peggy Wynne, known over London as “ the beautiful Irish girl??
hvd.hn1qpj	Lord Cheyne now- didn't he marry Miss Peggy Wynne, known over London as “ the beautiful Irish girl??
hvd.hn1qpj	Mur- dered an old woman for the sake of a few'old clo'?
hvd.hn1qpj	My God, what are you talking about? ” The sneer in the Hindoo's voice was less veiled than ever.
hvd.hn1qpj	Never! ” “ But you were! ” he repeated, emphatically, “ What is the use of denying what we both know?
hvd.hn1qpj	No woman at all- eh? ” For a moment Sir Edgar hesitated.
hvd.hn1qpj	Not that Blake, Cleek? ” Cleek smiled.
hvd.hn1qpj	Now did he administer that prussic acid, or did he not? ” was the next thought that passed through his mind.
hvd.hn1qpj	Or was it not likely to have been a case of hypnotism?
hvd.hn1qpj	Or was it, after all, Lady Brenton?
hvd.hn1qpj	Perhaps you can explain that also? ” “ Heavens, man, but you do n't think I committed still another murder, ” said Sir Edgar, incredulously.
hvd.hn1qpj	Perhaps you'll deny that? ” Tightening the Strands 153"I do, most emphatically I do! ” responded Sir Edgar with a little snort of indignation.
hvd.hn1qpj	Pretty bad little hole, eh, what? ” He gave a fatuous little giggle that made Cleek feel inclined to shake him.
hvd.hn1qpj	Ready, Dollops?
hvd.hn1qpj	Revenge?
hvd.hn1qpj	S'pose those devils, Pentacle gangers they was fer sure, nipped'i m?
hvd.hn1qpj	She shrieked out to me, just as I broke the glass in the window. ” “ What's that? ” rapped out Cleek.
hvd.hn1qpj	She- er- entertains somewhat of a liking for you, does n't she? ”.
hvd.hn1qpj	Slender, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	So Lady Bren- ton was there, was she?
hvd.hn1qpj	So a revolver had been found beside the body of the murdered man who had so successfully imper- sonated the Honourable Miss Cheyne herself, had it?
hvd.hn1qpj	So that was how the land lay, was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	So that was the explanation, was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	So that was the young gentleman's explanation of his presence in the grounds, was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	Sort of floating about under the trees in a kind of red dressing gown-"“ What's that — reddo you mean scarlet?
hvd.hn1qpj	Supernatural or human? ” exclaimed the Superintendent.
hvd.hn1qpj	Surely all circuses are not composed of gypsies, are they? ” he said, finally.
hvd.hn1qpj	Tell me; what is it?"
hvd.hn1qpj	That shows the nature of the man, does n't it?
hvd.hn1qpj	That the man out- side was waiting for someone to come out was obvi- ous, but for whom?
hvd.hn1qpj	That was evidenced by the scrap of torn lace found in the dead man's hand, and"“ Torn lace?"
hvd.hn1qpj	The Plot Thickens 163 “ Do n't you think Lady Brenton is a dear woman? ” she said, impulsively, as they turned into the lane.
hvd.hn1qpj	The Tightening the Strands 151 hotel?
hvd.hn1qpj	Then she spoke hysterically: “ Why should I?
hvd.hn1qpj	There was some connection between this murder and the Cheyne Court mystery; but what?
hvd.hn1qpj	Unbroken?
hvd.hn1qpj	Walking in her sleep, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	Walking in her sleep, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	Was it not rather an attempt to establish an alibi, and thus throw dust in the eyes of the police?
hvd.hn1qpj	Was it scarlet satin, Dollops?
hvd.hn1qpj	Was that what had taken her ladyship down to the lodge to see Miss Cheyne last night?
hvd.hn1qpj	Well, who killed her, I say?
hvd.hn1qpj	What about that revolver with the'B'on it?
hvd.hn1qpj	What about the Eye of Shiva, then?
hvd.hn1qpj	What could it be?
hvd.hn1qpj	What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1qpj	What do you say to that? ” “ What! ” cried the young man.
hvd.hn1qpj	What do you think about it, Mr. Headland? ” “ A good deal, sir, and that's the truth, ” responded Cleek.
hvd.hn1qpj	What does it mean? ” asked Ailsa, wistfully looking from one face to the other.
hvd.hn1qpj	What does this imperti- nence mean?"
hvd.hn1qpj	What has become of her?
hvd.hn1qpj	What is it? ” whispered the Superintendent.
hvd.hn1qpj	What part was his in this grim tragedy of death?
hvd.hn1qpj	What was it that this stranger wanted to learn, and why had he been so persistent in his inquiries?
hvd.hn1qpj	What was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	What was the place like and how far away was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	What woman was it that would remain behind in this place of ill omen?
hvd.hn1qpj	What's in the wind?
hvd.hn1qpj	What's that, Lady Brenton; impossible without a lift?
hvd.hn1qpj	What, indeed, was the con-'nection between Miss Jennifer and the dead “ Miss Cheyne”?-or was it Dr. Verrall, after all?
hvd.hn1qpj	What, too, has become of that poor girl? ” “ Do n't ask me, Cleek, ” returned the puzzled Superintendent, dolefully.
hvd.hn1qpj	When did this peculiar outrage take place; at what time; and when?
hvd.hn1qpj	Where did she hide herself yesterday? ” said Constable Roberts, in hushed, awed tones.
hvd.hn1qpj	Where is she, dear?
hvd.hn1qpj	Where is that helpless child? ” She hurried out, but Cleek flung up an arresting hand.
hvd.hn1qpj	Where is the incentive? ”"The Purple Emperor might be, or its value,"was the reply.
hvd.hn1qpj	Where, too, did Miss Jennifer and her idiot of a brother come into the puzzle, and Lady Brenton?
hvd.hn1qpj	Which was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	Who and what is this disgusting individual?
hvd.hn1qpj	Who was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	Who would be the next to be called?
hvd.hn1qpj	Whose window and why did you break it? ” “ Because she was afraid.
hvd.hn1qpj	Why any one should have murdered a harmless old theatrical wardrobe keeper in Drury Lane anyway, just beats me. ”"What's that? ” said Cleek.
hvd.hn1qpj	Why did n't you leave that to me?
hvd.hn1qpj	Why did you want to see me here like this?
hvd.hn1qpj	Why had Sir Edgar himself taken the foolish trouble of asking Miss Cheyne's permis- sion when he knew it would be refused?
hvd.hn1qpj	Why should I murder her, poor creature?
hvd.hn1qpj	Why- oh, why did you mention about those lace scarves?
hvd.hn1qpj	Why?
hvd.hn1qpj	Wot if'e ai n't ’ ere, after all?
hvd.hn1qpj	Would you care to see it?"
hvd.hn1qpj	Would you mind if I ran up and got it? ” “ Oh, I'll get it for you, ” said the girl, quickly.
hvd.hn1qpj	Yet if it were not she, who, then, el 0 250 The Riddle of the Purple Emperor had worn the scarf in her place?
hvd.hn1qpj	You 98 The Riddle of the Purple Emperor are Own are not insinuating that the man would harm his own sweetheart?
hvd.hn1qpj	You could n't have left it lying around anywhere? ” Ailsa laughed gaily.
hvd.hn1qpj	a heavy inheritance that, a thousand pities she was n't a boy- What's that, dear?
hvd.hn1qpj	could this girl raise in a riverside cottage that would produce such a sum?
hvd.hn1qpj	driven to despera- tion, had killed the woman- or man, as she might have discovered him to be who kept her prisoner?
hvd.hn1qpj	now what can that noise be? ” Cleek mused.
hvd.hn1qpj	what is it? ” Nobody answered him, for it was a question i m.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ A gang, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ A'scene'?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Am I late, sister? ” she murmured drowsily.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ And now, my friends, having cleared up one part of the mystery, there is still a question of the jewels'hiding place.... What's that, Sir Edgar?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ And what are you doing here? ” “ That's what we'd like to know of you, ” came a harsh, raucous voice behind him.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Are you sure it's safe to leave'i m? ” asked Aggie.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Are you? ” the Hindoo's voice was smooth, al- most sneering.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Bazaars? ” said Mr. Narkom.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Broke the glass of the window, you say?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But I do n't think there's any need to have that out, Auntie; do you? ” asked Lady Margaret with a little tremor of fear in her voice.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But how did he get them in?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But now what about the second murder?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But what about this Aggie you speak of?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But what is it?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But what was Edgar doing at such an hour and in such a place?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But where are they? ” said Jennifer.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ But who was the other woman? ” put in Sir Edgar, as Jennifer sank back in her chair, apparently exhausted by the recital.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ By reason of these, eh? ” he interposed, stretch- ing out a soiled envelope toward her.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Ca n't abide niggers, myself, but there's no accounting for tastes, and"“ What's that?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Can you identify it? ” There was a momentary hesitation, meanwhile, Cleek's eyes sought his and Cleek's lips seemed to say:"Be careful.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Did she possess a gold scarf, then?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Did you get the woman, Aggie? ” asked Mr. Nar- kom, briskly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Discovered? ” he said.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Do you 170 The Riddle of the Purple Emperor know anybody who has a scarlet cloak, satin, I think?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Do you believe me?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Do you mean to tell me that a person attached to the theatre has been killed?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Do you mean to tell me the jewels are hidden like that? ”"I do, ” said Cleek.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Do you mean to tell me two helpless women have risked burdening themselves with such priceless jewels down in a lonely place like Cheyne Court?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Edgar in the grounds of Cheyne Court on that night?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Edgar, dear, you are sure we are safe?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Gone! ” he said excitedly “ What does that mean?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Good Heavens, man! ” came Lady Brenton's voice again, “ are you mad to accuse me of such a thing?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Good Heavens, ” gasped Sir Edgar, “ what is it?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Gypsies, eh, Roberts?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Has she come of age? ” he asked quickly, and thereby voiced the thought that was passing in Cleek's own mind.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Have I ruined your plans? ”.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Hear what?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Heard of it, sir?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Hello, what's that? ” said Cleek, suddenly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Hmn, ” said Cleek, quietly, “ that's strange, rather. ” Huile de jasmin, eh?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ How and when did she come back?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ How did Mrs. Malone know that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ How did you know? ” she said, quickly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ How does yer know? ” “ Because I saw her, ” responded Cleek, irritably.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ I know, ” he said, quietly,"he was jealous of you and Miss Wynne, was n't he?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ In Cheyne Court now?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Is n't this just wonderful; meet- ing you like this?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Kill?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Lady Margaret- is she in the limousine with you? ” she asked anxiously.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Lie? ” echoed the astonished constable, as he fumbled with the latch of his garden gate.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Met Dr. Verrall in the lane, did you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ My dear lady, why be more frightened by day than by night?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ My dear, is this another reporter? ” she inquired, anxiously.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Oh, ca n't you make any one hear, Mr. Deland? ” The Home- Coming 19 se.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Oh, what was it?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Prussic acid, eh? ” he said to himself, musingly, “ presumably to kill an old dog.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Scarlet satin coat?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Shall we meet Dr. Wynne as well? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ She has been a very good friend to me in every way, and The Plot Thickens 165 believe that he could have had a hand in such a fright- ful crime?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ So he knows there is no danger of being convicted for a revolver- shot, does he?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ So there is that element in the case, eh? ” Then he bowed to Sir Edgar.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Star?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Sure it was a woman and not a Hindoo priest? ” he said.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ That?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ The Purple Emperor? ” said Miss Cheyne.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Then it's Indian, you mean. ” “ My dear chap, do you remember that Lady Brenton was born in India?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ There is no need for that ill- fated pendant, I hope? ” he inquired anxiously.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Think?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Until what, pray?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Was it Miss Jennifer, Miss Wynne again?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Well, what if she has?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Well, why should it? ” demanded Miss Cheyne.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Were there any signs of a struggle? ” asked the Coroner, quietly, with a little added show of respect for the dignity of his witness's position.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What are you doing gadding around at this time of night? ” “ Me, sir? ” replied Roberts, bitterly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What are you doing gadding around at this time of night? ” “ Me, sir? ” replied Roberts, bitterly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What are you going to do now? ” asked Aggie in a breathless whisper.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What do you make of it, Cleek? ” Mr. Narkom asked, in a mystified manner.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What do you think about it, Cleek? ” he cried excitedly, when the door had closed.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What have you been doing with yourself since last night?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What have you discovered? ” Cleek smiled.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What have you done with the girl?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What is it, old chap; tell me? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What is the matter, dear? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What noise? ” Cleek's ears pricked up.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What the devil's that to do with you, I should Complications and Complexities 93 like to know? ” he demanded fiercely.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What was it?"
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What's that?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What, in Heaven's name, is it?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ What- Blake? ” he ejaculated involuntarily.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Who and what are they, this Miss Wynne and her brother? ” Ailsa turned her soft eyes up into his face.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Who are you? ” he said, imperatively.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Why did you rush up to town so unex- pectedly? ” A wave of scarlet passed over the young man's pallid face.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Why, every jewel thief in Europe will be after them, do n't you agree with me, Miss Cheyne? ” he peered over at the old lady.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Why, what can that have to do with it?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Wonder what made the young gentleman lie so futilely? ” he said at length as his shadow gradually merged in with the darkness ahead.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Wonder who's been in?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Would it be possible to identify the finger- prints, Dr. Verrall? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ Yes, why not? ” he said.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You are absolutely sure the woman was dead? ” said Mr. Narkom, mopping his head with a silk handkerchief.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You did not sleep well, did you? ” Lady Brenton looked at her with a little angry flush.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You do n't mean to tell me it's a circus of dead animals, do you?
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You found her where I said? ” he asked, address- ing the Superintendent who stood breathless but triumphant beside him.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You know of that stone, Mr. Headland? ” Cleek scratched his ear.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You know some one who uses that scent? ” said Cleek quietly.
hvd.hn1qpj	“ You really mean that you think I killed that poor defenseless old woman? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	After all, you would have liked to have my grati- tude?
hvd.hn1rrv	And took Walters? ”. hvd.hn1rrv And you thought I would believe where others might doubt?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Are you enjoying your stay here? ” she resumed. hvd.hn1rrv Are you going in this car?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Are you going to make expenses this trip? ” he asked. hvd.hn1rrv Are you very frank, or only tactless?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But what about your old servant, John? hvd.hn1rrv But what became of Walters?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But why should the other need the food?
hvd.hn1rrv	Can you help? hvd.hn1rrv Can you tell me anything more? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	Did n't your visit turn out as pleasant as you ex- pected?
hvd.hn1rrv	Did you give way to his demands? hvd.hn1rrv Did you think that would count for very much?
hvd.hn1rrv	Do you expect Mr. Foster to be satisfied with that, after what he has borne and the risks he has run for us? hvd.hn1rrv Do you know any of the Ontario cities?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Do you know whether they asked if the man they wanted wore a glove? ” “ They did that! ” Foster pondered. hvd.hn1rrv Hae ye seen aught, Jock? ” the keeper near him called, and Foster was conscious of keen relief.
hvd.hn1rrv	Have you got a first and a second- class berth left? ”We had, ” the clerk said, smiling.
hvd.hn1rrv	He has gone to meet somebody; but why did he take the provisions?.
hvd.hn1rrv	I hope you wo n't object to my asking if you're a Canadian? ” he said. hvd.hn1rrv I suppose that means you blame me for Lawrence's illness and have n't forgiven me yet? ” he suggested.
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you fol- lowed the man? ”Far enough to see him tak ’ the road we went.
hvd.hn1rrv	Is Lawrence all right? ” 306 CARMEN'S MESSENGER “ Yes. hvd.hn1rrv Is there any settlement not too far ahead? ”"There's a smart new hotel at the flag station about six miles off,"said the man.
hvd.hn1rrv	Is there much doing in real estate just now? ” he asked. hvd.hn1rrv Is this how you feel about it?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Now I wonder why?
hvd.hn1rrv	On what ground? ”Attempted murder, to begin with, ” said Foster dryly.
hvd.hn1rrv	Private business?
hvd.hn1rrv	Something like Ontario, is n't it? ” said Feather- stone, indicating the trees. hvd.hn1rrv That I would not come?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Then he has n't been here long? ”Only came into town a week since,"said the clerk, rather dryly.
hvd.hn1rrv	Then why do you want to go?
hvd.hn1rrv	Then why in thunder do n't you jump?' hvd.hn1rrv Weel, ” he said with a truculent air, “ what is it ye want with me?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Well, suppose you had me arrested? hvd.hn1rrv Well,"he said, “ how did you get on?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Were the bonds negotiable? ” Foster asked. hvd.hn1rrv What are you going to do with me? ” “ Hand you to the police."
hvd.hn1rrv	What d'you mean by fooling about the middle of the road like that? ” “ I was n't quite in the middle, sir. hvd.hn1rrv What did the doctor tell you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	What for no', if ye're a friend o'his?
hvd.hn1rrv	What is it ye mean to do?
hvd.hn1rrv	What's your line? ”Dressed lumber."
hvd.hn1rrv	Where met ye Pate? ” he asked. hvd.hn1rrv Where's the lamp? ” Foster asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	Where's the man you brought? ” “ I imagine he's caught the train, sir,John an- swered with imperturbable calm.
hvd.hn1rrv	Will you ask her if she can meet me for a few minutes in the orchard? ” 148 CARMEN'S MESSENGERVery good, sir; I will take your message."
hvd.hn1rrv	Would you be surprised to hear he had n't got out of that trouble yet? ” “ Not surprised exactly; I was afraid of something like it, sir.
hvd.hn1rrv	You can drive an automobile pretty well?
hvd.hn1rrv	You can fix her all right, I suppose? ” he said to the driver. hvd.hn1rrv You have got your instructions from Gascoyne and know what to do if you have any trouble on your journey?"
hvd.hn1rrv	You imply that your judgment is better than mine?
hvd.hn1rrv	You mean you feel you ought to put it right?
hvd.hn1rrv	You mean you thought he had lost his confidence in you?
hvd.hn1rrv	Your letter was from Hulton, was n't it? hvd.hn1rrv : “ Can you see the basket you talked about? ” he asked, giving Pete the lamp. hvd.hn1rrv Agent quits as soon as the east- bound freight comes through. ”I suppose the wire's from Miss Stephen? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	Anyhow, if I'd known what was in the packet, I would n't have taken it. ” “ Then you have found out what was in it?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Anyhow, you'll find my people are n't hard to please. ” “ When are you going to California? ” Foster, who felt half embarrassed, asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	Are n't you rather hard to satisfy?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Are these nothing?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Are you looking for building lots? ”"My line's dressed lumber, but when you get a building boom you want material.
hvd.hn1rrv	Besides, wha'else would it be?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But I suppose when you guessed the truth it was something of a shock?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But after all, Edinburgh's rather dull just now, and the cold winds are trying to strangers. ”"Is this a hint that I ought to go away? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	But do you know how he came to learn about the matter?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But have ye the papers ye went tae steal? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	But the question is- Why did I leave the train? ” “ Ye just felt ye had to?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But the question is- Why did I leave the train? ” “ Ye just felt ye had to?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But what about the rest of us?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But what's yon for a man's work frae break o'day till dark?
hvd.hn1rrv	But where have you been? ” “ Roon'the toon, though it's no'verra big or bonnie.
hvd.hn1rrv	But which of you is Long Pete? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	But why did I feel that? ” Pete chuckled.
hvd.hn1rrv	But why did you come here?"
hvd.hn1rrv	But why did you not let John bring you in? ”"When I was last here, I noted a change in your father's manner.
hvd.hn1rrv	But why do you wish to explain this? ”| Foster hesitated.
hvd.hn1rrv	Ca n't you believe that I mean well, too? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	Ca n't you read the alphabet? ”"I can, now I see it,"said the other good- humoredly as he turned back.
hvd.hn1rrv	Can you do anything to set our fears at rest?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Did anything happen?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Did he answer you? ” “ He was going along the ground- floor passage in front of me, and the only light was in the pay- office at the end.
hvd.hn1rrv	Did this extend to the neighborhood you came from?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Did you expect to be shot at?".
hvd.hn1rrv	Did you know what the packet contained? ” She laughed, but he thought the laugh was forced.
hvd.hn1rrv	Did you know who it was when he touched you? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	Did you lend it him?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Did you post them? ” “ Ah! ” said Lawrence, “ that was unfortunate.
hvd.hn1rrv	Do I look dangerous?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Do ye feel it's yere business to break a new road? ”"Certainly not!
hvd.hn1rrv	Do you mean to let him go?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Do you still hold Walters accountable for the acci- dents?"
hvd.hn1rrv	FOSTER ARRIVES 301 “ Was it you who held me back? ” she asked, and when the man nodded, resumed:"Of course, you were right.
hvd.hn1rrv	Going back to the office, he asked the clerk:"Can you tell me when Mr. Forbes will be down for break- fast?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Have they a telegraph office?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Have you got yours here? ” Daly smiled.
hvd.hn1rrv	Have you much confidence in him?"
hvd.hn1rrv	How are we going to get her out? ” he said.
hvd.hn1rrv	How do you know what kind of a home I have? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	How- ever, I understand that Alice did n't take this view? ”"She did not, ” said Foster shortly, and Lawrence rang a bell.
hvd.hn1rrv	I dinna'think there's much reason they should get in deeper, but they might. ” “ But suppose they find the way and cross the burn?"
hvd.hn1rrv	I expect you guessed what he came for the last time? ”"I did.
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose Mr. Tel- ford does a good trade?".
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose he has some? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose there is something else?"
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you met the other car when you turned back at the station?"
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you took the packet to Newcastle?".
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you were at the Garth before my partner left?".
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you're still convinced my son was in his usual health and spirits?
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you're willing? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn1rrv	I suppose you( have no explanation? ” “ Not yet.
hvd.hn1rrv	I've got a first- class ticket to Montreal. ”"Then why in thunder are you running back to Fort William?"
hvd.hn1rrv	If your suspicions went so far, why did you not tell the police?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Left on the Montreal express this morning. ” “ You're quite sure of that?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Neither took the hint and Lucy said, rather sharply,"Well? ”"Mr. Walters has come round and demands to be let out of his room.
hvd.hn1rrv	Pete looked rather hard at him, and then asked: “ Have I earned my money?"
hvd.hn1rrv	SPADEADAM WASTE 185 “ What's likely to happen if they get off the track?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Shall we leave it until then? ” The woman nodded.
hvd.hn1rrv	She gasped and resumed in a scream: “ Why do n't you go before I throw something at you? ” Foster left and was glad when he shut the door.
hvd.hn1rrv	Suppose he took advantage of their belief and asked for an answer to his message or something of the kind?
hvd.hn1rrv	The bank- book showed you drew a rather large sum. ”"No doubt you thought it significant that the check was payable to myself?"
hvd.hn1rrv	The transfers would require to be forged. ”"What about Europe? ”"That is where the danger lies.
hvd.hn1rrv	The way Jake argued out the matter made things look pretty bad. ”"But they look better now?
hvd.hn1rrv	Then I meant to ask the way to Langsyke. ” “ What are ye wanting there?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Then he asked Foster:"Do you know if he had any other dangerous friends?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Then he said, “ I gather that you want to deliver the packet, not to post it?"
hvd.hn1rrv	There is a plot, but I do n't believe she knew anything about it. ” “ I suppose you feel you must defend the girl? ”"In a way,"Foster agreed.
hvd.hn1rrv	They crossed the platform, and while they waited for the bag the man said respectfully, “ Might I ask if Mr. Lawrence was better when you left, sir?
hvd.hn1rrv	Walters put the other in the mail. ” “ Who is Walters? ” “ We'll come to him later.
hvd.hn1rrv	Were you nearly hit?"
hvd.hn1rrv	What are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hn1rrv	What did you learn at Toronto?"
hvd.hn1rrv	What do you suppose he wants? ”"I ca n't imagine; the thing's puzzling.
hvd.hn1rrv	What do you think, Mrs. Stephen? ”"Mr. Foster seems to have used all his advantages and the girl got a shock that found out her weak points.
hvd.hn1rrv	What do you want? ”"I want to know where Daly is.
hvd.hn1rrv	What does he want?"
hvd.hn1rrv	What made you so trustful?"
hvd.hn1rrv	What was it?"
hvd.hn1rrv	What would you advise? ”"It depends upon what ye want to see? ” the man replied.
hvd.hn1rrv	What would you advise? ”"It depends upon what ye want to see? ” the man replied.
hvd.hn1rrv	What's your name? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	When his turn came, Foster asked for a ticket to Appleby in a husky voice, and when the booking clerk demanded, “ Where?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Where are you going to stop to- night? ” Foster told him and he nodded.
hvd.hn1rrv	Where was he when Mr. Featherstone left? ”"In the lathe- room at the other end of the build- ing.
hvd.hn1rrv	Where's Law- rence now? ” “ He went to his room with Walters about ten min- utes since."
hvd.hn1rrv	Where's the telegram he threw you down? ”"It was n't a telegram."
hvd.hn1rrv	Why do you presume to interfere?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Will you give me your coat, sir?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Would you take a risk for your brother's sake?''
hvd.hn1rrv	Would your estate stand the strain?"
hvd.hn1rrv	Ye're a stranger, and ye'll tak'the road again the morn? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	You have no ground to think he was em- barrassed by the need of money on the night he died?"
hvd.hn1rrv	You know why he went?"
hvd.hn1rrv	You say he was never morbid; did you ever find him anxious or disturbed? ” Featherstone pondered.
hvd.hn1rrv	You start for the Old Country on Thursday, do n't you? ”"Thank you; yes,"said Foster.
hvd.hn1rrv	You thought you saw the watchman in the passage; was he far in front? ”"Perhaps a dozen yards; it's a long passage."
hvd.hn1rrv	“ And you'll take care that I do n't?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Are you surprised?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Are you?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Been for a walk?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Besides, why should I be interested? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But I wonder whether you did not know that I had left? ”"How could I know?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But I wonder whether you did not know that I had left? ”"How could I know?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But how can I help?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But is there any reason I should start this afternoon?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But would n't it be better to leave the thing to the police? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But you do n't imagine Daly told him what he knows about you?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But you were glad you were able to keep your promise?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ But, after escap- ing, why did you stop here and run the risk again?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Can you tell me if there's a Mr. Graham in this building? ” Foster asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Could they be easily sold?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Did you stay there long?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Did you stay there? ”"I did not, ” said Foster, thinking frankness was best.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Do n't you believe me? ” “ I suppose I must,"said Foster.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Do you know him personally?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Do you know if the lame gentleman with the dark hair is out? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Do you mean to keep a letter that was sent to me?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Do you take hints?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Does n't that appeal to a man?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Does n't that sound rather stupid when I sent the thing? ”"Perhaps it does,"said Foster gravely.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Had he any luck?".
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Holding the newspaper in front of my face, I suppose?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ How can he be bluffed?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ How many men? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ How many of you are in the gang? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ How much were you to get for sending this? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ I do n't know the gentleman. ” “ Then what is your business? ”.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ I suppose somebody has been bother- ing you with questions? ” “ Yes; as I'm of a retiring character, it annoys me.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ In fact, you were surprised when you heard what happened soon after you left? ” Hulton suggested in a quiet voice.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Is Walters here? ”"He goes to- morrow. ”"Ah! ” said Foster, as if he thought this important.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Is n't the Crossing where the big factory is?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ It only concerns me and Featherstone, but it led to something helped on the train?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ May I take it that your consent is a sign that you'll try to forgive me for my share in the accident? ” THE LOG BRIDGE 291 Lucy forced a smile.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ On a serious charge?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ So Lawrence said for you what you would have liked to say yourself?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Thank you, ” said Foster, but Alice broke in: “ Why do n't you tell my father why you went to Newcastle?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Then how did he make your acquaintance? ” he asked the girl.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Then why not tell the conductor and have the · train searched?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Then you are a friend of Mr. Austin's? ” she said.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Then you never asked? ”"I did not; I think I did n't want to know."
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Very well; but first, why did n't you write?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Walters, for example?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Wha's there the noo?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ What do you know about his duty?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ What is Miss Austin like? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Where have you been all morning? ”"I did n't come here to play pool, ” Foster replied.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Where will ye be for the noo? ” Pete asked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Whose opinion was it that you should supply the exact material you had promised?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Why is it impossible? ” “ Do n't you know? ” Featherstone asked with some surprise.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Why is it impossible? ” “ Do n't you know? ” Featherstone asked with some surprise.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Will you wait until I see if I can get Gascoyne on the tele- phone?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Ye'll be for Hawick? ” he remarked.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Ye're no'hurt?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ Yes,"said Foster,"I've just come in. ” “ Looking for business? ” Foster quietly studied the man.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ You feel he ought n't to have any business that might interfere with his duty to the rest of you?"
hvd.hn1rrv	“ You imagined that Daly only wanted to extort money?
hvd.hn1rrv	“ You were watching it then? ” “ Both ends.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ You'll be Mr. Foster, sir, for the Garth? ” he said.
hvd.hn1rrv	“ You're going to Ottawa, are n't you?
hvd.hn1rrv	“'Ca n't get down?'
hvd.hn1qj8	And now it is again necessity, not choice, that constrains you in accepting me as your partner- for you do accept me, do n't you?
hvd.hn1qj8	And you? ” “ I am your sister. hvd.hn1qj8 Are you hungry or thirsty?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Can you think of no way in which you could bribe her to consent?
hvd.hn1qj8	Could you give me Mr. Kane's present address? ” “ I'm afraid I could n't do that, sir. hvd.hn1qj8 Did the men tell her the name of their monastery, or where it was in Thibet? ” asked Nadege, languidly.
hvd.hn1qj8	Has n't Lal Singh got any hoard to put into the fund? ” queried Charteris. hvd.hn1qj8 How did you know the way?
hvd.hn1qj8	I wonder if you will say that to- morrow? ” The words seemed to break from her. hvd.hn1qj8 Is the nurse with him still? ” asked Honour, who by this time had been put into the promised dressing- gown.
hvd.hn1qj8	Is this the end of our journey?
hvd.hn1qj8	Kind? hvd.hn1qj8 My dear- what is it?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Now, are n't you very, very glad that you dined here to- night? ” asked the girl, smiling. hvd.hn1qj8 You think she may be the woman who could tell you something of Honour Brooke?
hvd.hn1qj8	234 THE TURNSTILE OF NIGHT"Have you thought of me at all? ” “ Often.
hvd.hn1qj8	4?
hvd.hn1qj8	6.- Is there, or is there not, a chain linking these per- sons, events, and coincidences together?
hvd.hn1qj8	:"Have you the chloroform? ” whispered St. Leger to Lal Singh.
hvd.hn1qj8	Am I to hear yours? ” She shook the veiled head.
hvd.hn1qj8	And I make only one condition. ” “ What is that?"
hvd.hn1qj8	And a fire?"
hvd.hn1qj8	And part should be yours. ” 320 THE TURNSTILE OF NIGHT “ Mine?
hvd.hn1qj8	And the beautiful nurse with the red hair?
hvd.hn1qj8	And which way? ” “ I know the way, ” said the veiled lady.
hvd.hn1qj8	And you will come every day, wo n't you, to tell me all you have done? ” Jack flushed.
hvd.hn1qj8	And you will keep your promise to me? ” “ You know that I will keep it,"answered Ronald.
hvd.hn1qj8	And you?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Are there any other questions which she wishes you to ask?
hvd.hn1qj8	At the moment I do n't know where he is. ” “ Indeed? ” St. Leger commented again.
hvd.hn1qj8	But I shall come again soon. ” “ When — to- morrow?"
hvd.hn1qj8	But he meets so many people, and I suppose you did n't know each other well? ”.
hvd.hn1qj8	But he must be out of the way again before I wake TOOL OR LOVER?
hvd.hn1qj8	But the chattering — is there any way of explaining that?"
hvd.hn1qj8	But what does it matter now?
hvd.hn1qj8	But what guarantee can we have that you do n't mean to betray us? ” “ The guarantee of my self- interest.
hvd.hn1qj8	But what's the good of recriminations?
hvd.hn1qj8	But why especially? ” Jack asked.
hvd.hn1qj8	But why should any one wish to steal the bronze toad?
hvd.hn1qj8	CHAPTER X TOOL OR LOVER?
hvd.hn1qj8	Can it be that he is dead? ” groaned the voice in the next house.
hvd.hn1qj8	Charteris; Miss Char- teris; England. ”"Mr. Willoughby said, I believe, that you would prefer to dine in your room? ” he remarked, rather stiffly.
hvd.hn1qj8	Could it be possible that the woman whose throat he had seized owed her mutilation to those brown hands, now so helpless?
hvd.hn1qj8	Could n't I go somewhere else? ” “ It's more comfortable here, ” said Mrs. Oates.
hvd.hn1qj8	Dared she still expect him after what she had seen in her sleep?
hvd.hn1qj8	Did he tell me the truth? ”.
hvd.hn1qj8	Do you consent to the arrangement?
hvd.hn1qj8	Do you dream that he trusts you? ” “ As much as I trust him.
hvd.hn1qj8	Do you know of any one whom I could get, Mr. Harned?
hvd.hn1qj8	Do you mind walking a short dis- tance? ” “ Certainly I do n't mind, ” returned Ronald.
hvd.hn1qj8	Do you still wish me to ring for a servant to bring water, so that you may arrange your roses? ” “ No- no! ” exclaimed Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	Do you think I could write my name with your blood? ”"It is that which I want you to do!"
hvd.hn1qj8	Great Heavens — the debt! ” “ So you let your passion carry you as far as that, did you? ” demanded the old man, icily.
hvd.hn1qj8	Great on charity, is he, and lives in the slums?
hvd.hn1qj8	Had he come to her then?
hvd.hn1qj8	Has Loris finished what he had to do in the cellar? ”"I do n't know,"answered the woman.
hvd.hn1qj8	Have you had a row? ” “ Lady St. Leger and I never have rows."
hvd.hn1qj8	He did speak to you of me?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Her name?
hvd.hn1qj8	How can I be sure that you really have a clue to the mystery of my father's disappearance? ”"How can you be sure?"
hvd.hn1qj8	How can I be sure that you really have a clue to the mystery of my father's disappearance? ”"How can you be sure?"
hvd.hn1qj8	How should I?
hvd.hn1qj8	How should she find him in the darkness?
hvd.hn1qj8	I believe this house has several. ” “ Oh, you know the place, then? ” asked the girl.
hvd.hn1qj8	I ca n't describe it. ” “ Are you better? ” “ I shall- be quite right in a minute,"answered the girl.
hvd.hn1qj8	I dep- recate anything resembling deceit, but for a woman's sake"“ Why need we stop in Marseilles and Paris?"
hvd.hn1qj8	I know that one of two things has befallen him. ” “ Well?"
hvd.hn1qj8	I suppose it's very'backwoodsian'to feel like that, or- anyway — to say so, is n't it?
hvd.hn1qj8	I suppose they say queer things? ”-- CHAPTER XXIX A SPRING TO A CONCLUSION M RS.
hvd.hn1qj8	I suppose you do n't carry a revolver? ” “ No. ” “ Then you must do so.
hvd.hn1qj8	I wonder if the scent could have made me feel faint?
hvd.hn1qj8	I would ask that you took with you a compan- ion. ” “ You wish to go also? ” Ronald asked.
hvd.hn1qj8	I've got a few matches that will help us out in the dark corners. ” ing Thing?"
hvd.hn1qj8	If he is really the property of St. Leger, does that mean that St. Leger has anything to do with River House and the mysterious Mr. Smith?
hvd.hn1qj8	If others, why not St. Leger as the leader, and some mysterious subordinate person or persons?
hvd.hn1qj8	If so, what was the appointment which had been written on that torn half sheet of paper; and would it pres- ently be kept?
hvd.hn1qj8	Is it beyond your strength? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1qj8	Is it free and available? ”"Free till to- morrow night, and safe enough.
hvd.hn1qj8	Is it possible you think that my father would leave me dependent upon charity — even dear Lady St. Leger's?
hvd.hn1qj8	Is it you who told Jack Harned some horrible story of the sort? ”"Ah! ” ejaculated St. Leger.
hvd.hn1qj8	Is the beautiful Miss Kazan a sister or near connection of the nurse who was engaged to take care of Char- teris by Willoughby?
hvd.hn1qj8	Jack caught at the loose end of an admission which he saw floating “ You do not deny that you killed him?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Just as she was saying'How- do- you- do?'
hvd.hn1qj8	Kitty's new costumes for a forthcoming play had arrived from Paris, and would “ Beauty ” lunch with her, and criticise them?
hvd.hn1qj8	Leger?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Look here, wo n't you have a talk with me?
hvd.hn1qj8	May I call upon you, wherever you are staying, at any time con- venient to you?
hvd.hn1qj8	Might she not go to the solicitor in the Temple, or to the house in Hammersmith, without dragging through twenty- four hours of suspense?
hvd.hn1qj8	Must she believe that the dream was no dream, but a warning?
hvd.hn1qj8	Nobody could be got to live at River House, they said, on account of the ghosts. ” “ But Mr. Smith? ” questioned Honour, eagerly.
hvd.hn1qj8	Now do n't you want to reconsider your invitation to Lady St. Leger's house in Park Lane?
hvd.hn1qj8	Now let me help you undo your bodice, miss. ”"Is he dangerously ill? ” asked Honour, submitting to be assisted.
hvd.hn1qj8	Now, it seems to me that the thing's wasted where it is, eh?
hvd.hn1qj8	Of late, you and I have n't referred to it, but--""And why should we refer to it now, Nadege?
hvd.hn1qj8	Or was it something even more than that which he read in her blue eyes?
hvd.hn1qj8	Or — what if it should be her father come home all right after all, and wait- ing to give her a big surprise?
hvd.hn1qj8	Perhaps in a few weeks'time. ” “ Has he left no one to attend to his business? ” “ Only me, sir.
hvd.hn1qj8	Perhaps you've heard of Nelly Warren, who was the favourite burlesque actress of her day, about thirty years ago?
hvd.hn1qj8	Said I, “ Let me see, what's the date?
hvd.hn1qj8	See- was there ever a man so worthy of love?
hvd.hn1qj8	Shall we go?
hvd.hn1qj8	She believes that- you killed her father? ” “ She must have heard me confess it, even if she did not believe it before.
hvd.hn1qj8	She must have left the house while I was in the next room; but the question is where did she go?
hvd.hn1qj8	Still, who else could it be?
hvd.hn1qj8	Suddenly a voice spoke in his ear: “ You are Mr. Ronald Charteris? ” The words were almost whispered.
hvd.hn1qj8	Tell me-is it too late at night for you to find some flowers, and send them to me?
hvd.hn1qj8	That is strange, is n't it?
hvd.hn1qj8	That- her father's last thought being of her and for her- he had been able to keep his appointment at the moment when soul and body were parting?
hvd.hn1qj8	The lady will not talk except when it is nec- essary. ” “ Is there anything more?"
hvd.hn1qj8	There ai n't nothing we can do that ai n't being done. ” “ How can I bear it- all the rest of my life?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Tool or Lover?
hvd.hn1qj8	Was she always going to blush like a silly schoolgirl after this, whenever she or any one else mentioned Sir Ronald Charteris?
hvd.hn1qj8	Was this River House?
hvd.hn1qj8	We have to keep true to him, or where would we be, from you down to the lowest of the lot, sir?
hvd.hn1qj8	Well, sir, what do I think the worst part?
hvd.hn1qj8	What are you worried about?
hvd.hn1qj8	What could an engagement of Loris St. Leger's for that date have to do with him?
hvd.hn1qj8	What do you mean? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1qj8	What do you say, Mr. Jack Harned? ”.
hvd.hn1qj8	What had caused Charteris to fall ill with congestion of the brain, presum- ably on the 4th or 5th of April last?
hvd.hn1qj8	What has he done in all these weeks?
hvd.hn1qj8	What if she should find out something of which, through all these years, she had been ignorant?
hvd.hn1qj8	What if someone else had done the murder, and in some mysterious way made Charteris believe that he had killed Nevill Brooke?
hvd.hn1qj8	What if they are not'deserving'?
hvd.hn1qj8	What if, after all, the story were not true, and Charteris were shielding someone else?
hvd.hn1qj8	What impression did you gather from what you heard there?"
hvd.hn1qj8	What is in your mind? ”"I am not blind, my dear Loris!
hvd.hn1qj8	What is it?"
hvd.hn1qj8	What is it?"
hvd.hn1qj8	What must it feel to be as she is?
hvd.hn1qj8	What would n't I give to show him up?
hvd.hn1qj8	What's become of her, and what is she in this charity business, I wonder? ” Jack was in no fit mood for talk with sweet Honour Brooke now.
hvd.hn1qj8	When those orders should come, what would he do?
hvd.hn1qj8	Where can it come from? ” Jack Harned stood still, listening, but the sound had al- ready ceased.
hvd.hn1qj8	Where does Ronald Char- teris come into the story?
hvd.hn1qj8	Where her father is, and whether he will ever come home, who can tell?
hvd.hn1qj8	Where was he?
hvd.hn1qj8	Who could believe Sir Ronald Char- teris a murderer? ” “ You are prejudiced in his favour.
hvd.hn1qj8	Who is the Reverend Willoughby?
hvd.hn1qj8	Who knows but here's a turn at last?
hvd.hn1qj8	Why could she come no nearer to it, though she went on and on, always seeing the bright streak flitting before her like a will- o'-the- wisp?
hvd.hn1qj8	Why did you go?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Why not choose Miss Honour Brooke for a wife?
hvd.hn1qj8	Why not console yourself, and be as happy as you can?
hvd.hn1qj8	Why should he?
hvd.hn1qj8	Why should n't you go to see him some time, for his mother's sake?
hvd.hn1qj8	Why? ” he said, grasping the fingers which would have escaped if they could without conspicuous discourtesy.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will it always be sad after this?
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you believe in ghosts to- morrow? ”.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you come to my room? ”.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you do it for hers? ” “ Tell me exactly what you mean by that question. ”"I mean this.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you give it to me? ” “ Why do you want it? ” “ For a woman's reason.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you give it to me? ” “ Why do you want it? ” “ For a woman's reason.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you go with me and reconnoitre? ” “ Yes, ” said Ronald, dully.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you lend me that map? ”"I will take it.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you not come in and close the door? ” Without speaking, Ronald obeyed, and for a moment the two stood facing each other in silence.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you tell me something about your mother- and your childhood? ”"I hardly know anything to tell, ” said the girl.
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you tell me your name?
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you trust me, and come to see me here at this hotel, the address of which you will see on the paper?
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you wish me luck?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Will you- kiss me once?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Wo n't you let me help you? ” “ Thank you, you're very good, ” replied the younger man, stiffy.
hvd.hn1qj8	Would it never end?
hvd.hn1qj8	Would it not comfort you, my poor boy, to feel that you were doing something for others even more un- happy than yourself?
hvd.hn1qj8	Would the ladies step inside? ” Honour's heart was beating quite fast.
hvd.hn1qj8	Would you condescend to come into my room upstairs and take off your things, so that they can be dried?"
hvd.hn1qj8	Yet how can I, parted from him?
hvd.hn1qj8	Yet how could it be so?
hvd.hn1qj8	Yet, why trouble, since that was in the future?
hvd.hn1qj8	You have called to see me, perhaps?
hvd.hn1qj8	You have met a man named Ronald Charteris? ” 224 THE TURNSTILE OF NIGHT Honour should check them.
hvd.hn1qj8	You knew of their existence? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1qj8	You live here, perhaps? ”"No, ” said Honour, conscious that a pair of black eyes were looking very hard at her, taking in her beauty.
hvd.hn1qj8	You spent the time on your journey in falling in love, did you?"
hvd.hn1qj8	You swear you did n't know?"
hvd.hn1qj8	You will do this for me, wo n't you? ” Jack Harned, despite his roughness and crudeness of man- ner, had a winning way of asking a favour.
hvd.hn1qj8	You will let us come and help, wo n't you? ”"Then- yes, ” Ronald almost stammered, the blood rush- ing to his forehead.
hvd.hn1qj8	You'll often see him here, and you must learn to like him. ”"Did he speak to you of his engagement for to- night? ” “ Yes,"said Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ About a fortnight, sir. ” “ When is he expected back? ” THE COMING OF A LETTER 99"I ca n't say, exactly.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ After you have dined, will you come to the door of my room for a moment?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ And I look as if I had come from Tangier?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ And did you ever see my father? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ And this Sir Ronald Charteris — he is interesting, as well as his work? ” “ Very interesting.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ And undo everything else with it?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Are there lights in the Blue Room?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Are you ex- pected?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Are you tired? ” he questioned.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ As dead as you hope Harvey Kane is, eh? ” “ And as you hope he is.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ But do trust me yet for a little while, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ But there's, anyhow, a way of finding out. ” “ What way? ” “ Trying once more to make somebody come.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Did n't she give you her name?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Did you feel that?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Did you hear some- thing like a laugh- a queer sort of chattering? ” “ Yes! ” cried Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Did you notice,"asked Honour,"that Mr. St. Leger had heliotrope in his buttonhole?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Did you poison Nevill Brooke? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Did you stop to think what would happen to you if he had taken you at your word? ”"I did not care! ” the woman flung at him.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do n't you think that they deserve a little credit too? ”"Pooh!
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do n't you trust me?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do you expect me to give you the secret for which I have just told you what a price you must pay?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do you know me? ” she asked, in a low voice, which she did not attempt to disguise.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do you know what you are saying, Effingham? ” “ Oh, I know well enough! ” retorted the other, lapsing into sulkiness.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do you know, I can guess who you are?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Do you remember this room? ” Jack Harned was asking.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Has any one come inquiring for me? ” “ Not yet, my lady,"answered the man, in a voice so deeply bass as to be almost startling.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Have you heard that Hon — that Miss Brooke has disappeared?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ He never wrote you about the circumstances of our meet- ing? ” “ There is his conceit again! ” thought Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ He was delirious, was n't he? ” “ Oh, out of his head, something awful, sir! ” “ It must be queer to hear people talk in delirium.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ He wrote to you to meet him here? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Honour Brooke has heard something, then?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ How can I bear the waiting?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ How did he happen to say such a thing?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ How have I stroked her the wrong way?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ How long has he been gone? ” asked St. Leger.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ How was that? ” she asked, eagerly.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ I suppose all women are fools, ” said the old man; “ but I had flattered myself that your brains were of a higher order 70 TOOL OR LOVER?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ I'd- rather not, if you do n't mind, Miss Brooke. ” “ That means, if you let me see it, I should be more anxious than I am? ” “ Partly.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ If you know me, you know that the only man who ever troubles my thoughts is my dear, precious dad. ”"Have you had bad news? ” asked Kitty.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Is Mr. Kane in?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Is Sir Ronald Charteris the man who was ill next door to my place? ”"1-I do n't quite know,"stammered Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Is there any one else as beautiful as she? ” “ There is one whom I think incomparably more beautiful.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ It is a strange town and a strange country to you, also, is it not, mademoiselle? ” asked Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ It is rather a talkative animal, and its voice is n't musical, is it?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ It will cost a great deal, wo n't it, to hire a detective? ” Honour asked, diffidently.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Look, what is that, like a bright drop of blood in the idol's hand? ” said Brooke.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Mean, sir?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ My dear child, when I was your age, young women did n't bet. ” “ Dear me, I wonder if life was n't dull when you were my age, Lady St. Leger?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ No, he did not come. ”"And do n't you feel that I- that we — have great cause to be anxious? ” “ Yes, ” said Jack, slowly.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Now, what do you mean to do with her? ” asked Kazan.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Now, wo n't you show your confidence in me by telling me something about yourself?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Oh, God, help me!-help me find my father! ” What was that light in the distance- a thin, knife- blade of light?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Oh, why are you so different from what I thought you would be? ” “ How am I different?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Oh, why are you so different from what I thought you would be? ” “ How am I different?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Once and for all, will you leave me?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Only the lady? ” the stranger was asking the servant.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Our time grows short. ” “ How could you do that? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ She believes that I killed her father for his money?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ So he's to have Honour?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ So you were not asleep?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ So, that is your'impression'?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Surely the river could have nothing to do with that? ” “ One would think not, ” said Harned.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ That is still your state of mind?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ The Hôtel de Noailles? ” suggested Charteris.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ The one woman among all others of whom you must not even think. ” “ Who says that of me? ” Ronald demanded, sharply.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Throw wool in the eyes of the public? ” he repeated, in surprise and disgust.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Wake up, man- what ails you?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Was that to have been for us? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What a beautiful idea, eh?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What are you lurking about people's doors for, at this time of night?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What did it matter?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What do you expect me to hear? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What do you mean by that peculiar emphasis? ” St. Leger demanded, sharply.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What do you want here? ” he demanded, in a low but sibilant voice.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What do you want here? ” he demanded, savagely.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What does it matter to us how bad the men who come here may have been?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What is the matter? ” ejaculated Lady St. Leger.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ What shall we do, then? ” asked Honour, her voice falter- ing.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Where are you taking me? ” asked Honour.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Where is the lady waiting? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Who has dared to tell you such a thing?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Who is he? ”"A man Lady St. Leger and I have met lately,"answered Honour, frankly; but again she flushed, as she had at Loris St. Leger's house.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Who would have thought that Loris St. Leger would have such a glorious girl for a cousin?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Who- are you, then? ” For a moment the man looked at her in silence, and his eyes were wistful.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Whose is that?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why There's som feel that?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why are you so kind? ” he asked, abruptly.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why do n't you finish?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why do you speak so strangely?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why not this moment, then? ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why not this moment, then? ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why submit to THE MOMENT AND THE MAN 33 humiliate yourself when you can have a loan from me, and pay the money back at your leisure?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Why? ” he argued, quietly resisting her efforts.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Will she be gone long? ”.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Will you let me take your hand? ” She held it out to him, trembling.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Will you take me at my word, and be a little grateful to me afterward, if you can, for sending you away?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Will you — really? ” Ronald could hardly believe she was in earnest.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Wo n't you dine with us, if Lady St. Leger invites you? ” she said at last.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ Would you prefer to have a man or a woman as your teacher? ” asked Jack.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You are anxious about your father? ” Jack Harned asked, when at last he released the little gray glove.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You are of the same mind still? ” “ And must remain so always. ” “ Then- good- bye.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You are- Honour? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You care a lot about your father, do n't you? ” the young man exclaimed, with a certain wistfulness.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You forward Mr. Kane's letters? ” As he asked this question he looked into the eyes of the clerk, which flinched slightly.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You heard it, too, then?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You heard that door shut?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You saw him — that day you came?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You see that glass door?
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You speak of love-at such a moment? ” “ I must, to make you understand.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You want to talk to me, I suppose, before Sir Ronald comes?"
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You will not move, you will not turn your eyes away for a second? ”"No."
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You wished to see me for some special reason? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You- his daughter? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1qj8	“ You- my father? ” she faltered.
hvd.32044086822954	A penitentiary job?
hvd.32044086822954	A stranger in these parts?
hvd.32044086822954	Ames, the butler[ 66] DARKNESS"What about him?
hvd.32044086822954	Ames,he said, when the butler entered,"where is Mr. Cecil Barker now?"
hvd.32044086822954	And he never mentioned any names?
hvd.32044086822954	And how do you consider that all this bears upon the general case?
hvd.32044086822954	And how do you propose to prove all this?
hvd.32044086822954	And how?
hvd.32044086822954	And it arrived very speedily?
hvd.32044086822954	And what is it we are watching for?
hvd.32044086822954	And where may that be?
hvd.32044086822954	And who bought the ironworks of Manson and of Shuman, and of Van Deher and of At- wood, which have all been given up of late?
hvd.32044086822954	And who bought the mines of Todman and of Lee that came into the market in the same way last year?
hvd.32044086822954	And who the devil is he?
hvd.32044086822954	And who told you?
hvd.32044086822954	And you accept the rule of the Bodymaster for the time being under all circumstances?
hvd.32044086822954	And you refused it?
hvd.32044086822954	And you were told to see me?
hvd.32044086822954	Any reward this time?
hvd.32044086822954	Anything fresh, Sergeant Wilson?
hvd.32044086822954	Are n't you?
hvd.32044086822954	Are you a member of the union?
hvd.32044086822954	Are you quick of action?
hvd.32044086822954	At what o'clock was it raised?
hvd.32044086822954	Aye, what's the game?
hvd.32044086822954	But if a man had a danger hanging over him, and knew what it was, do n't you think he would turn to the police for protection?
hvd.32044086822954	But what can he do?
hvd.32044086822954	But what do you allow that we should do about it?
hvd.32044086822954	But what is the use of a cipher message with- out the cipher?
hvd.32044086822954	But why'Douglas'and'Birlstone'?
hvd.32044086822954	But, I say, are n't we wasting precious time? hvd.32044086822954 By its light you saw that some terrible inci- dent had occurred?"
hvd.32044086822954	Can a husband ever carry about a secret all his life and a woman who loves him have no sus- picion of it? hvd.32044086822954 Can you give us any idea how long your hus- band had been downstairs before you heard the shot?"
hvd.32044086822954	Can you remember, Ames, what Mr. Barker had on his feet last night when you joined him in the study?
hvd.32044086822954	Could this have any connec- tion with the crime?
hvd.32044086822954	D'ye think I'm ashamed of my own name?
hvd.32044086822954	D'you know what that means?
hvd.32044086822954	Dear me, Watson, is it possible that you have not penetrated the fact that the case hangs upon the missing dumb- bell? hvd.32044086822954 Did I ask you for your advice, or did you think me such a sucker that I could n't move without it?
hvd.32044086822954	Did n't I tell you he shot Jim Carnaway?
hvd.32044086822954	Did n't he ask you why you did n't bring him the papers?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you ever know him to cut himself in shav- ing before?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you ever trouble to see who called for them?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you know Mrs. Douglas before her mar riage?
hvd.32044086822954	Did you not? hvd.32044086822954 Did you see no one?"
hvd.32044086822954	Do n't we?
hvd.32044086822954	Do you reckon he knows much?
hvd.32044086822954	Do you tell me,said the Sergeant,"that the wedding ring was below the other?"
hvd.32044086822954	Get what?
hvd.32044086822954	Hate you, Jack? hvd.32044086822954 Have you ever heard where his first wife came from?"
hvd.32044086822954	Have you ever read of Jonathan Wild?
hvd.32044086822954	Have you found anything out yet?
hvd.32044086822954	Have you heard him speak of anything which occurred in America and might bring some dan- ger upon him?
hvd.32044086822954	He was a bachelor, you say?
hvd.32044086822954	How could I have heard of him when you know that I am a stranger in these parts?
hvd.32044086822954	How deep is it?
hvd.32044086822954	How did you know it, then?
hvd.32044086822954	How do I know that they are lying? hvd.32044086822954 How long have you allowed us to waste ourselves upon a search that you knew to be an absurd one?"
hvd.32044086822954	How long is this to last?
hvd.32044086822954	How long were you with Douglas in Cali- fornia?
hvd.32044086822954	How many will you take?
hvd.32044086822954	How's that, then?
hvd.32044086822954	I do n't think we have met before, Councilor?
hvd.32044086822954	I'd like to know,said McMurdo,"how you ever came to learn that I had spoken with Mor- ris at all?"
hvd.32044086822954	In trou- ble?
hvd.32044086822954	Is he here? hvd.32044086822954 Is he on his own or is he entirely in with them?"
hvd.32044086822954	Is it by the police? hvd.32044086822954 Is it not?
hvd.32044086822954	Is it suicide, or is it murder — that's our first question, Gentlemen, is it not? hvd.32044086822954 Is it you that would dispute it?"
hvd.32044086822954	Is n't the place full of police and detectives, and what harm did they ever do us?
hvd.32044086822954	Is she?
hvd.32044086822954	It's your first, is it not? hvd.32044086822954 John McMurdo,"said the voice,"are you al- ready a member of the Ancient Order of Free- men?"
hvd.32044086822954	May I smoke as I talk? hvd.32044086822954 Maybe Miss Ettie has told you how it is with us?"
hvd.32044086822954	Might I ask,said Holmes,"what the words were which attracted your attention?"
hvd.32044086822954	Mr. Treas- urer,he asked,"may I ask who has bought the property of this man that we have driven out of the district?"
hvd.32044086822954	My name's Jack Mc- Murdo — see? hvd.32044086822954 No tracks or marks?"
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, it's Jack, is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, it's like that, is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, that was it?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, that's your ruling, is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Oh, you think so, do you? hvd.32044086822954 So you are good enough to pass my appearance?"
hvd.32044086822954	Someone else?
hvd.32044086822954	Still on the track of the elusive bicyclist?
hvd.32044086822954	Sure, what is murder? hvd.32044086822954 Surely you asked him what he meant by the Valley of Fear?"
hvd.32044086822954	The clothes are commonplace,remarked Holmes,"save only the overcoat, which is full of suggestive touches.'?
hvd.32044086822954	The police?
hvd.32044086822954	Then how did you get at Mr. Douglas and the fact that he had been horribly murdered?
hvd.32044086822954	Then how do you know about his rooms?
hvd.32044086822954	Then the truth is too bad to tell?
hvd.32044086822954	Then why did you leave?
hvd.32044086822954	Then why has he not indicated the book?
hvd.32044086822954	There is nothing there, no sign that anyone has landed — but why should he leave any sign?
hvd.32044086822954	They both claim the head money given by the lodge for the shooting of old man Crabbe over at Stylestown, and who's to say which fired the bullet?
hvd.32044086822954	They have to — else how can we get him?
hvd.32044086822954	This professor that I've heard you mention?
hvd.32044086822954	Was he a politician? hvd.32044086822954 Was the door open?"
hvd.32044086822954	We have heard from Mr. Cecil Barker that you did not actually see — that you were never in the room where the tragedy occurred?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, Holmes,I murmured,"have you found anything out?"
hvd.32044086822954	Well, did you think of such a thing when you joined the Freeman's society at Chicago?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, have you anything more?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, then,she cried,"why will you not show me the letter?"
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what are we to do now?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what happened?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what have you to say?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what if I am?
hvd.32044086822954	Well, what is it?
hvd.32044086822954	Well?
hvd.32044086822954	Well?
hvd.32044086822954	What Bodymaster?
hvd.32044086822954	What about Archie Swindon?
hvd.32044086822954	What about Birlstone?
hvd.32044086822954	What about the shotgun?
hvd.32044086822954	What am I accused of?
hvd.32044086822954	What are we here for at all? hvd.32044086822954 What do you mean by'appears'?
hvd.32044086822954	What for?
hvd.32044086822954	What has the man done?
hvd.32044086822954	What impression has my evi- dence made upon you?
hvd.32044086822954	What in thunder has that to do with you? hvd.32044086822954 What is it, then?"
hvd.32044086822954	What is the latest news of the ruffian?
hvd.32044086822954	What o'clock were those curtains drawn?
hvd.32044086822954	What papers?
hvd.32044086822954	What sort of a man is he?
hvd.32044086822954	What sort of fool's talk is this? hvd.32044086822954 What the devil d'you mean by that?"
hvd.32044086822954	What the hell is it to you who are my friends?
hvd.32044086822954	What think you of our ways, Brother?
hvd.32044086822954	What were they?
hvd.32044086822954	What would you do?
hvd.32044086822954	What's V. V.? hvd.32044086822954 What's come over you, Jack?"
hvd.32044086822954	What's that?
hvd.32044086822954	What's this mark?
hvd.32044086822954	What's this?
hvd.32044086822954	When was that?
hvd.32044086822954	When you entered the room there was only a candle lighted on the table, was there not?
hvd.32044086822954	When?
hvd.32044086822954	When?
hvd.32044086822954	Where are the slippers now?
hvd.32044086822954	Where's your warrant?
hvd.32044086822954	Who are they?
hvd.32044086822954	Who is this?
hvd.32044086822954	Who is your district ruler?
hvd.32044086822954	Who then is Porlock?
hvd.32044086822954	Who then?

hvd.32044050491224	CHASE OF THE GOLDEN PLATE 77 “ Does your arm pain you? ” asked the Girl at last timidly.
hvd.32044050491224	Could you tell me, please, where a lady, unattended, might get a night's lodging somewhere near here?
hvd.32044050491224	Detective Mallory doesn't-"“ When and where was Mr. Herbert ar- rested? ” “ Yesterday, Tuesday, afternoon in his rooms.
hvd.32044050491224	Did her father shoot him?
hvd.32044050491224	Did her father shoot him?
hvd.32044050491224	Did she shoot him?
hvd.32044050491224	Did she shoot him?
hvd.32044050491224	Did you get it all right?"
hvd.32044050491224	Did you notice the card she gave you? ” “ I do n't remember her at all, sir.
hvd.32044050491224	Do you know that idea keeps coming to me and wo n't go away? ” She spoke as if it were a naughty child.
hvd.32044050491224	Do you know that idea keeps coming to me and wo n't go away?"
hvd.32044050491224	Finally she compromised by blushing radiantly at the memory of certain lingering kisses she had bestowed upon upon — Dick Herbert?

hvd.32044050491224	Hatch called yet?"
hvd.32044050491224	Have you met him?"
hvd.32044050491224	He was hurt and —"“ Who is it, Blair?"
hvd.32044050491224	Herbert here? ” Hatch asked.
hvd.32044050491224	Herbert?".
hvd.32044050491224	His people are up in Nova Scotia, so he was alone. ” “ Nothing but the gold plate was found? ” “ Oh, yes! ” exclaimed the reporter.
hvd.32044050491224	How are you, anyhow?"
hvd.32044050491224	How did Mr. Herbert know this brother?
hvd.32044050491224	How did Mr. Herbert know this brother?
hvd.32044050491224	How do you feel? ”"I'm all right, or will be in a minute,"he re- sponded, and he made as if to rise.
hvd.32044050491224	I consider his capture the most important that has happened since I have been connected with the police. ” “ Indeed?"
hvd.32044050491224	I must take it with me CHASE OF THE GOLDEN PLATE 91 1 Now, what shall I say if they ask questions?

hvd.32044050491224	Is that to stand forever? ” 122 CHASE OF THE GOLDEN PLATE “ You proved then that you were not a gentle- man, ” declared the old man savagely.
hvd.32044050491224	Is there no way I can place myself right in your eyes? ” “ No! ” Mr. Meredith thundered.
hvd.32044050491224	It was a costume affair, I suppose? ” The reporter nodded.
hvd.32044050491224	It was a costume affair, I suppose? ” The reporter nodded.
hvd.32044050491224	It was a costume affair, I suppose? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	It's perfectly asinine to suppose that she had anything to do with either theft, do n't you think?"

hvd.32044050491224	Now that's a silly state of affairs, is n't it? ” “ But, man, you ca n't believe that she had any- thing to do with it!
hvd.32044050491224	Now what does that mean? ” After a minute or so the maid reappeared to state that Miss Meredith would see him.
hvd.32044050491224	Now, Miss Meredith, will you tell me, please, just where you have been? ” “ No."
hvd.32044050491224	Now, is n't it a fact that you did intend to elope with her on Thursday evening?".
hvd.32044050491224	Now, may I ask you what you in- tend to publish about this affair? ” Hatch considered the question a moment.
hvd.32044050491224	Now, the question is: What possible connection can there be between Dorothy Meredith and the as Burglar?
hvd.32044050491224	Now, will you or will you not return the plate?"
hvd.32044050491224	Of course he returned the plate, as I knew he would. ” “ Do you really believe he is the man who came here as the Burglar?"

hvd.32044050491224	Some of his rich friends furnished it. ” “ Did he give any reason for his refusal to say anything?"
hvd.32044050491224	Taking it this way at this time of the night?"
hvd.32044050491224	That's what they do, is n't it?"
hvd.32044050491224	Then the question: Was the man who stole from Mr. Herbert, probably entering his place and shooting him, masked?
hvd.32044050491224	Then — what?".
hvd.32044050491224	Then, in a deadly, forced calm: “ She attended the masked ball Thursday even- ing, did n't she? ”"Well, she was invited."
hvd.32044050491224	Then, in a deadly, forced calm: “ She attended the masked ball Thursday even- ing, did n't she?"
hvd.32044050491224	Then: “ Who is this talking? ” asked the detective.
hvd.32044050491224	Then: “ Who is this talking? ” asked the detective.
hvd.32044050491224	Then: “ Who is this talking? ” asked the detective.

hvd.32044050491224	Who is he?
hvd.32044050491224	Who is this? ” Then Hatch hung up the receiver.

hvd.32044050491224	Why?
hvd.32044050491224	Why? ” “ I'll be frank and ask you some questions, Dick,"Hatch resumed in a tone which betrayed his discomfort.
hvd.32044050491224	Why?"
hvd.32044050491224	Why?"
hvd.32044050491224	Why?".
hvd.32044050491224	Yes?
hvd.32044050491224	You know, of course, about the finding of the two automobiles that figured in the case, and the blood- stained cushion?"
hvd.32044050491224	as tion- card presented at the door by your guests bore the name of the person to whom it was issued?"
hvd.32044050491224	asked Mr. Mallory.. “ What did you do with the list of invited guests? ” “ I have n't got a good start yet, ” responded Blanton hopelessly.
hvd.32044050491224	the re- porter asked — “ that is, during the last couple of days? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044050491224	wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww “ They're chasing us, are n't they?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ A brother? ” asked Hatch quickly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ A reporter?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ And I think you said two shots were fired at the thief?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ And Miss Meredith?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ And is he a nice young man?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ And that you and Mr. Meredith are practi- cally of the same build?".
hvd.32044050491224	“ And the Girl?
hvd.32044050491224	“ And this girl was dressed like a Western girl? ” he asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ And you, Blanton?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ And you?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Anything you want to say? ”"Nothing,"Dick responded wearily.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Are those lights still there? ” “ No, thank goodness! ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Are you hurt?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Are you the man who stole the gold plate?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Arrest you? ” gasped the reporter.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Book agent?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Business good? ” he inquired of the Burglar.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Business good? ” he inquired of the Burglar.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Business good? ” he inquired of the Burglar.

hvd.32044050491224	“ Business good? ” he inquired of the Burglar.
hvd.32044050491224	“ But how came it in your possession?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Ca n't you go a little slower?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Ca n't you think of a hotel or boarding- house near by? ” the Girl insisted.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Clever, was n't it? ”"It was, ” Hatch responded enthusiastically.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Detective?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Diamond rings? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Dick Herbert, explain to me, please, what you are doing with that gold plate? ” There was an imperative command in the voice.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Dick, is that you?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did Mr. Meredith arrive from Baltimore? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did n't you find anything at all about the prem- ises?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did she mention my name?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did the injury to your arm, ” he went on after the approved manner of attorney for the prosecu- tion,"prevent you going to the ball?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did the person who'phoned give you a name? ” inquired Detective Mallory.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did you come in the auto? ” “ Yes. ”* And the casket?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did you come in the auto? ” “ Yes. ”* And the casket?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did you get it?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did you go? ” Dick was staring straight down into his eyes.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did you notice if the card presented at the door by the Burglar on the evening of the masked ball at Seven Oaks bore a name? ” he asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Did you see her? ” Hatch asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you believe that I stole the plate? ” he asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you deny that you got it?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you happen to know where she was? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you happen to know,"he asked, “ if Miss Meredith attended the Randolph ball at Seven Oaks on Thursday evening?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you know that he was wounded? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you know the young gentleman? ” in- quired the old lady eagerly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you know the young gentleman?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you know where Miss Dorothy Meredith is?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Do you now believe him guilty?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Does it happen that you have as cleverly traced her? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Does your daughter know anything of that affair?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Eavesdropping, eh?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Eavesdropping, eh?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Eavesdropping, eh?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Eloped with her? ” Dick repeated.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Except what? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Guess you never got caught in a pickle like this before? ”"I certainly never did! ” replied the Girl em- phatically.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Had n't you seen me? ” “ No."
hvd.32044050491224	“ Has he said anything since?".
hvd.32044050491224	“ Have you been reading the papers?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Heard anything from Miss Meredith?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Heard the news? ” he asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ How can I when I helped you run away with the horrid stuff?
hvd.32044050491224	“ How dare he come here?
hvd.32044050491224	“ How did you ever come to hit on a costume like that?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ How do I know it?
hvd.32044050491224	“ How long was I knocked out? ” he queried.
hvd.32044050491224	“ How much is it worth to you to know if Miss Meredith went to the masked ball? ” asked the maid cautiously.
hvd.32044050491224	“ How much is it worth to you to know if Miss Meredith went to the masked ball? ” asked the maid cautiously.

hvd.32044050491224	“ How much is it worth?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ How- how long,"she asked, “ have you been a — a — a — kleptomaniac?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Hunh? ” gurgled Willie through the thumb.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Hunh?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ I do n't suppose Mr. Herbert explained how he got the wound? ” Hatch asked apprehensively.
hvd.32044050491224	“ I merely wanted to inquire if it would be per- missible for me to see that cushion? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ I ought to throw you down the stairs, but — what is it?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ I presume, Miss Meredith, ” he said solemnly,"that the maid informed you of my identity? ” “ Yes, ” replied Dollie weakly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ I understand, by the way, that one of your men took a leather cushion from the automobile in which the thieves escaped on the night of the ball?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ I will not, ” she began, then: “ Certainly I know of it. ” “ You know that a man and a woman are ac- cused of and sought for the theft?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ I wo n't answer that question. ”"Did you get an invitation to the Randolph ball?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ If you'll tell me something about Miss Mere- dith — who she is and all that? ” Hatch suggested.
hvd.32044050491224	“ If you'll tell me something about Miss Mere- dith — who she is and all that? ” Hatch suggested.
hvd.32044050491224	“ In a hurry? ” asked the Angel.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Is Mrs. Greyton in? ” he asked with a nod of recognition.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Is everything ready? ” she asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Is it really and truly you? ” Dollie in- sisted.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Is n't it a fact that you did intend to elope with her on Thursday evening? ” the reporter went on steadily.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Is that all? ” Dick demanded suddenly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Is there anything I can do?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ It's because — because you are a — a — you take things. ” “ You will not believe what I tell you?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ It's loaded. ” “ Loaded?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Kissed me?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Make to order, I s'pose?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I ask his present address?
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I ask if you happen to know Richard Herbert?
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I ask your occupation, Mr. Hatch? ” in- quired Mr. Randolph.
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I ask your son's address?
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I ask, Mr. Meredith, ” he began, “ how many sons you have? ” “ One, ” replied Mr. Meredith, puzzled.
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I ask, ” he inquired with pronounced em- phasis on the personal pronoun, “ why you want to know?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I inquire,"she asked, after she re- covered her breath, “ the cause of this — this levity?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I see Miss Meredith for a few min- utes? ” he went on.
hvd.32044050491224	“ May I send a card to her? ” “ She wo n't see you, sir,"repeated Mr. Mere- dith doggedly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Miss Meredith?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ No, nor would you inform me of the nature of the evidence against him in addition to the jewels and plate found in his possession? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ None of your business, sir! ” “ I do n't suppose there's any doubt in your mind of my affection for your daughter?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Not very well? ” Hatch repeated.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Now Cunningham?".
hvd.32044050491224	“ Now, Mr. Cunningham, may I ask if the Burglar's back was toward you when you fired?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Now, Mr. Hatch,"asked The Thinking Ma- chine,"just what is known of this second theft of the gold plate?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Of course, then, you've seen the stories about the Randolph robbery? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ One of the detectives — Cunningham, I think. ” “ It was a detective — you know that? ” “ Yes, I know that."
hvd.32044050491224	“ Only eleven pieces of the plate were first stolen, you said?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Personal matter? ” repeated Mr. Meredith.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Sewing- machines? ” “ No."
hvd.32044050491224	“ She is not at home?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Some time ago she met a man named Herbert Richard Herbert, I think, and""Dick Herbert? ” the reporter exclaimed sud- denly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Some time ago she met a man named Herbert- Richard Herbert, I think, and"“ Dick Herbert?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Suppose I should confess that I did?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Suppose it had been just a freak of mine, and I had intended to — to return the stuff, as has been done?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ The casket?
hvd.32044050491224	“ This is n't any silly joke? ” he asked fiercely.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Thought what?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Three months. ” “ Do you know he is there? ” Mr. Meredith started to say something and swallowed it with an effort.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Was Miss Meredith the girl in the automo- bile?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Was he masked?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Was it a man or a woman talking?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Was it a pistol shot? ” Hatch went on calmly.

hvd.32044050491224	“ Well, what of it?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Well? ” Dick inquired.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Well? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Well?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Well?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ What about her? ” he asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What am I doing with it? ” repeated the Burglar.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What are the questions?".
hvd.32044050491224	“ What are you doing with it?"

hvd.32044050491224	“ What is it all about? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What is it, please?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ What is it?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ What kind of stuff?".
hvd.32044050491224	“ What luck did you have? ” he asked again.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What luck did you have?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ What was her appearance? ”.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What you got in the bag?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ What's in it? ” repeated the Burglar, and he chuckled.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What's the matter? ” Hatch inquired.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What's this about the bail- bond? ” Dick in- quired.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What? ” exclaimed The Thinking Machine so suddenly that both Hatch and Mr. Meredith started a little.
hvd.32044050491224	“ What? ” he repeated, and wrinkles suddenly appeared in the domelike brow.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where are you?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where did you get that idea? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where is she? ” Hatch insisted.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where is the car?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where is the drug store?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where is your son now?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where is your son?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where was the wound, please? ” “ In the right shoulder, ” replied the physician, “ just here,"and he touched the reporter with one finger.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Where were you on the evening of the masked ball? ” “ Nor will I answer that."
hvd.32044050491224	“ Who are you, Mr. Van Dusen? ” he asked at last.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Who fired them, please?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Who the deuce is Van Dusen?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Whose brother?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Why did n't you mention the jewelry at first?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Why do n't you say something?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Why you did not meet me?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Why, Dick, what is that? ” she asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Why?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Will you deny that you saw Richard Herbert on the evening of the masked ball? ” “ I will not."
hvd.32044050491224	“ Will you give me your permission to see her here and now, if she will consent?
hvd.32044050491224	“ Will you inform me, then, in the interest of justice, where you were on the evening of the Randolph ball?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Will you name the cause of the trouble you and Meredith had in Harvard? ” asked the scientist.
hvd.32044050491224	“ Would it be possible, Miss Meredith, ” the even voice went on,"to convince you of Mr. Her- bert's innocence?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Would you be satisfied?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Would you mind telling me if any of the 156 CHASE OF THE GOLDEN PLATE jewelry you found in Mr. Herbert's possession has been identified?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Would you mind telling me just what makes you think I got it?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Would you remember it if you saw it or heard it again? ” The servant looked at Mr. Randolph help- lessly.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You are certain there was only one man at that ball dressed as a Burglar? ” he asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You are making no mistake? ” “ No, Dick, no! ” she said again.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You did n't see her there? ” “ No.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You do n't know if the package was there when you went in? ” he was asked.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You have the bullet? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You know he was with you? ” “ I thought I knew it. ” “ You would n't have gone with any other man?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ You know he was with you? ” “ I thought I knew it. ” “ You would n't have gone with any other man?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ You know she did n't take the plate? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You mean you — you — you stole it? ” The words came with an effort.
hvd.32044050491224	“ You prob- ably knew that he was wounded and possibly either aided in dressing the wound — as any woman would-or else saw him dress it himself?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ You will admit that you know the man was in Burglar's garb, and that the woman was dressed in a Western costume?"
hvd.32044050491224	“ Your casket of jewels was found among the stolen goods in his possession?"
hvd.hn1dtj	Are you feeling ill?
hvd.hn1dtj	It was a close shave for both of us, ” he admitted, flushing with delight at the warmth of her greeting, “ but what are you doing here? hvd.hn1dtj Oh, mother, ” she cried, “ you remember Lieutenant Kramer, do n't you?
hvd.hn1dtj	What do you suppose they do here? ” “ I ca n't imagine yet, ” said Fleck with an impatient shake of his head. hvd.hn1dtj * When, ” she hesitated, remembering the shame- ful bonds that had held him, “ when will he be free? hvd.hn1dtj 184 THE APARTMENT NEXT DOOR “ Where now?

hvd.hn1dtj	At the ferry he put me into a taxi. ” “ What did you talk about on the trip home? ” asked Fleck suspiciously.
hvd.hn1dtj	But what could be his motive in seeking to involve her in the matter?
hvd.hn1dtj	But what excuse should she give?
hvd.hn1dtj	Can we depend upon you? ” “ You may absolutely depend on me,"said Jane slowly and soberly.
hvd.hn1dtj	Clever, was n't it?"
hvd.hn1dtj	Could you iden- tify them? ” “ I did not notice them particularly,"Jane confessed.
hvd.hn1dtj	Did he know the import of the cipher message she had discovered?
hvd.hn1dtj	Did he not ask you to account for your presence there? ” “ No,"said the girl, firmly,"he did n't. ” “ Did n't he question you at all?"

hvd.hn1dtj	Did he not trust her?
hvd.hn1dtj	Did he realize, she wondered, that he had at last be- trayed himself to her?
hvd.hn1dtj	Did he, she wondered, know about the mysterious death in the street outside their apartment house?
hvd.hn1dtj	Did n't you find it? ” Carter shook his head.

hvd.hn1dtj	Did you see that clerk in the store look at you when you spoke to me?
hvd.hn1dtj	Do you know the Hoffs by sight?
hvd.hn1dtj	Do you really sup- pose that she has fallen in love with young Hoff? ” Carter shook his head.
hvd.hn1dtj	Do you think you can fix it up with your father?
hvd.hn1dtj	Do you want me to watch the bookshop to see if they leave any more messages there? ”"No,"said Carter.

hvd.hn1dtj	Had he been standing there listening?
hvd.hn1dtj	Had he not called her “ Jane, dear"in his amazement at finding her lying there?
hvd.hn1dtj	Had he read of the discovery of the man's body in the street?
hvd.hn1dtj	Had she fled from the scene after Dean was disabled, fearing that her name might be coupled with his in an account of the acci- dent?
hvd.hn1dtj	Had they not already one dastardly murder to their record?
hvd.hn1dtj	Had they purposely run down the motor- cycle?

hvd.hn1dtj	Has he won you over to his side? ” “ You've no right to say such things to me, ” cried Jane, nevertheless coloring furiously.
hvd.hn1dtj	Have you changed your mind? ” “ Not at all, ” she answered indignantly."
hvd.hn1dtj	Have you really kept your promise at last and come to see the Strongs?"
hvd.hn1dtj	He did not ex- plain, did he, what it was we wanted of you? ” “ Indeed he did n't, ” said Jane, now wholly herself.
hvd.hn1dtj	He had practice enough at college, eh, Dean?
hvd.hn1dtj	He had the appearance of alertly listening, listen- ing, for what?
hvd.hn1dtj	He has telephoned to Hauser to come to his office this afternoon. ” “ Suppose he does n't go? ” “ He'll go all right.
hvd.hn1dtj	He seemed con- cerned only in getting me home without its becoming known that I had been in an acci- dent. ” “ Is that all?"

hvd.hn1dtj	How was the sudden disappearance of Jane Strong to be ac- counted for?
hvd.hn1dtj	I ca n't say which it was. ” “ Do they always come by on the same day- on Wednesday?"
hvd.hn1dtj	I can communicate with you by note without arousing suspicion? ” “ Oh, yes, certainly."
hvd.hn1dtj	I can tell his friends. ” “ Did your parents know about”-he hesi- tated—“about this trip with the chauffeur?"
hvd.hn1dtj	I heard them talking about his taking a train at the nearest station. ” “ What did young Hoff do when he found it was you lying there? ”.
hvd.hn1dtj	I wonder if old Mr. Hoff has left any more cipher messages at the bookshop? ” “ No,"said Dean, “ he has n't.
hvd.hn1dtj	I'phoned as soon as they would let me. ” “ Who brought you there? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hn1dtj	If he had detected her ruse when she first had spoken to him, why had he not admitted it?

hvd.hn1dtj	She must manage to meet Frederic Hoff in some proper way, but how?
hvd.hn1dtj	She's too keenly in- terested in Frederic Hoff. ” “ What do you mean by that?
hvd.hn1dtj	Some one had reported to him already that there was a German going about in British uniform. ” “ What had he heard?

hvd.hn1dtj	Was Mr. Fleck a chief of spies?
hvd.hn1dtj	Was he the end — the American end of the chain?

hvd.hn1dtj	Was he, she wondered, one of the links in the terrible chain?
hvd.hn1dtj	Was his life in peril?
hvd.hn1dtj	Was it Lieutenant Kramer? ” “ Probably, ” said Chief Fleck carelessly, ” that is not my end of the work.
hvd.hn1dtj	Was it her duty to tell her mother and Dad about what she had seen?
hvd.hn1dtj	Was it six min- utes after three or eleven minutes after three?

hvd.hn1dtj	“ Did n't you find anything to read to- day, Mr. Hoff?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Did you recognize him?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do n't you find train travel rather disagreeable these days?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do n't you know?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do n't you think any of them have a sense of honor? ” asked Jane in a troubled tone.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do n't you want the Hoffs caught?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do you know I hardly recognized you at first and was almost afraid to speak?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do you know any of the other tenants in the house?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do you know their names?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Do you know what those numbers meant? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Find anything, Bob? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Find anything, Williams?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ First, ” said Carter, “ just where did you put that cipher message when you put it back?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Fix it, Dad, so that I can go to France as a Red Cross nurse or as an ambulance driver, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Have they passed? ” he whispered then.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Have you those field glasses with you? ” “ Sure, ” replied the operative, “ and the hand- kerchiefs, too. ” “ All right.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Have you'Limehouse Nights ’? ” she asked as THE CLUE IN THE BOOK 55 the attendant, naming the first book that came into her head.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ He cursed in German? ” cried Jane.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ He seemed surprised and startled. ” “ What did he say?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ He was in- fernally dangerous according to my advices, but Captain Seymour- where is he?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Hello, hello, is that you, Miss Strong?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Hello, is this you, Miss Strong?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ How about to- morrow evening? ” “ That's Wednesday,"she answered slowly.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ How long have you lived in that apartment house on Riverside Drive?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ I do n't think so. ” “ What did he say? ” “ He said to tell Miss Strong that he had called. ” “ Then he did n't suspect you."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ I ran into that man — you know whom —"“ The young one? ” he interrupted.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ I was the one who deciphered them; but what did that girl do with those messages?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Is Frederic Hoff a Britisher- one of your men? ” “ Rather, ” said Brook- White.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Is Frederic, too, involved with his uncle? ” He shot an appraising glance at her.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Is Mr. Fleck in?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Is the number of their car anything like this? ” asked Dean, exhibiting an entry in his notebook.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Is this Mr. Fleck? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Is this ruthless war making you navy men ungallant? ”.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ May I? ” he cried with manifest pleasure.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Oh, those Dento advertisements?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Please, wo n't you, for my sake, ” he begged, “ go back home or at least wait here for us? ” “ I wo n't, ” said the girl doggedly.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ She's not ill, is she? ” responded her hus- band.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Suppose they'd found you out? ” “ No danger of that, ” laughed Frederic.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Tell me, ” he cried again, “ Jane, dear, are you hurt? ” “ I do n't think so,"she managed to say.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ That's all. ” “ Did he not seem amazed at finding you there?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ The windows overlook the river and the transports, do they not? ” “ Yes, the windows of Mr. Hoff's bedroom and the room next.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Then you are doing work for the govern- ment? ” Intensely she waited for his answer.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ They're Germans, of course? ” “ Otto Hoff is German- born, but he has been here for twenty years.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ This is Miss Jones. ” “ So soon? ” came back his voice.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ To the place where I was yesterday- where we had the accident? ” “ Not directly, ” the chief replied.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Was it the same man both times? ” asked Dean.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Was it too much for you?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Was n't it he who steered you up here? ” “ I should say not, ” said Fleck emphatically.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Well, Dean, when can you come? ” “ To- morrow morning if you like, ” the new chauffeur answered, nodding gravely to Jane as he withdrew.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Well, ” said Fleck, studying her countenance, “ what have you to tell us? ” “ How is Dean? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Well, ” said Fleck, studying her countenance, “ what have you to tell us? ” “ How is Dean? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What THE CLUE IN THE BOOK 59 has happened?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What are you doing here? ” “ Trying to round up some bally German spies, ” explained Brook- White.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What did the woman do? ” “ Reported him to the first policeman she met, but by that time he had vanished, of course."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What did they look like?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What do those figures mean?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What does that young Hoff do who was here last night? ” her father had asked at the break- fast table.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What happened to him?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What is it, daughter?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What is it? ” “ You know that book I told you I was going to buy? ” “ Yes, yes! ” “ It's not there."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What is it? ” “ You know that book I told you I was going to buy? ” “ Yes, yes! ” “ It's not there."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What suicide?".
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What! ” cried the girl, her face blanching, “ was n't it there?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What's that?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What's that?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ What's that? ” cried Fleck.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Where are we going now? ” Jane ventured to ask.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Where'd you meet him? ” “ He lives in the apartment next door.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Which way did the old man go? ” asked Carter.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Who are you? ” “ I ca n't tell you that, yet. ” “ Who, then, is Mr. Fleck? ” “ He will explain that to you."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Who are you? ” “ I ca n't tell you that, yet. ” “ Who, then, is Mr. Fleck? ” “ He will explain that to you."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Who else could have taken it? ” “ There's only one answer,"said Carter slowly and impressively.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Who was he? ” “ Nobody round here knows a thing about him.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Who wishes to see him?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Why do n't you knit as all the other girls are doing?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Why not wait until daylight for that? ” sug- gested Carter.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Why would n't she talk?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Why, Dean,"he exclaimed in amazement, “ what are you doing here?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Why, what's the matter? ” he cried, noticing for the first time Jane's perturbation.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Will he live? ” Fleck and Carter exchanged glances.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ With whom?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Without any evidence — without trying them? ” questioned Jane.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ Would n't it be better, ” she parried, “ if you came to call on me some evening first?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ You are American- born, of course? ” “ Oh, yes."
hvd.hn1dtj	“ You are an American, ” she said turning to Hoff, “ are you not?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ You are taking tea with young Hoff this afternoon, are n't you? ” “ Yes, ” said Jane, “ that is, he asked me to.
hvd.hn1dtj	“ You do n't suppose those bloody Boches got him at the last- after all he's been through?
hvd.hn1dtj	“ You know who this is?"
hvd.hn1dtj	“ You mean ” — Jane hesitated—“a detect- i ve? ” Carter grinned.
hvd.hn1dtj	” she asked half indignantly, “ a new scheme to sell bonds?
hvd.hn1dtj	” “ Can you remain there fifteen minutes with out arousing suspicion? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hn1dtj	” “ No — that is, none personally. ” “ Is your time fully occupied? ” “ No, indeed it is n't.
hvd.hn1dtj	” “ Only by sight. ” “ They live in the next apartment on your floor, do they not? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1dtj	” “ You knew about them? ” cried Seymour in astonishment.

chi.18871535	But what does that truth involve for me?
chi.18871535	Can not she have been deceived as to what she saw?

chi.18871535	How old is she? ” “ Twenty months and such a darling!
chi.18871535	How was I to verify this without disturbing Mrs. Packard?
chi.18871535	I felt foolish to say ghosts, but finally I found myself forced to do so, much to my lasting regret. ” “ How?

chi.18871535	Is it possible to start any intelli- gible phrase with any two of these arranged in any conceivable way?
chi.18871535	Is she a plain woman?
chi.18871535	It does not fit well with those other duties pressing upon me from the political field, does it?

chi.18871535	It ’s a little box with my name on it; and it is hidden — ” “ Where? ” “ Behind a brick I loosened in the cellar wall.
chi.18871535	Leaning over her, with the natural sym- pathy her condition called for, I asked quietly but firmly: “ Whom do you mean by him?
chi.18871535	May I trust you with it? ” “ You certainly may, Miss.
chi.18871535	My wife's? ” “ Not in the least.
chi.18871535	Now how many 1 l ’s and<'s do we find in the col- lection before us?
chi.18871535	Now what conclusions could I draw from these?
chi.18871535	Now will you call my sister?
chi.18871535	Now, which one of these appears most frequent- ly?
chi.18871535	Oh, what do you see — what do others see, that I should be the subject of doubt?

chi.18871535	Packard? ” His tone betrayed a com- plete incredulity.

chi.18871535	See?
chi.18871535	Shall I call Letty? ” he kept crying, shifting from one foot to another in a frightened and fussy way that exasperated me almost beyond endurance.
chi.18871535	Shall I help you? ” 220 HARDLY A COINCIDENCE “ In a minute, ” I said.
chi.18871535	She has sent to see if the dead man is he. ” “ The dead man! ” Who spoke?
chi.18871535	She promised to, you see, and — ” “ She promised? ” I cried.
chi.18871535	She would give — What lay beyond that give?
chi.18871535	Should I find any traces there of that search which had finally ended over my head in the attic?
chi.18871535	Should I have to wait till the mayor ’s return for the co- operation my task certainly demanded?
chi.18871535	Should I notice this, even by an attempt to conciliate him?
chi.18871535	Should I telegraph to Mayor Packard for some sort of order which would lead to the tear- ing up of this end of the house?
chi.18871535	Should I, then, give it up?
chi.18871535	Some one must be there to guard and watch — ” “ Has she no mother? ” I suggested in the pause he made.
chi.18871535	Sometimes I47 A GLIMMER OF THE TRUTH “ How?
chi.18871535	Such an explanation I could not accept, and how could Mrs. Packard?
chi.18871535	That I can not be myself since that dreadful day? ” The mayor was a practical man: he kept close to the subject.
chi.18871535	The form of what?
chi.18871535	There was noth- ing to laugh at. ” “ You heard the laugh?
chi.18871535	This we no more doubt than you do. ” “ Then what do you want here? ” he asked, af- ter a moment of harsh scrutiny.
chi.18871535	To begin, then, what peculiarities were first observable in them?
chi.18871535	Was I mistaken in my the- ory, and must I look elsewhere for what I still honestly expected to find?
chi.18871535	Was he to be thoroughly and unequivocally trusted?
chi.18871535	Was it an important enough fact to call for explanation?
chi.18871535	Was it on one side or in the space about the din- ing- room door or where the transverse corridor met the main hall?
chi.18871535	Was it possible he did not wholly trust him?
chi.18871535	Was it then or afterward that I began to have my first real doubt whether some shadow had not fallen across her apparently unsullied life?
chi.18871535	Was there but one cause for each and every one of these peculiarities?
chi.18871535	Was this to be believed?
chi.18871535	We kept a few lodgers in those days — be still, Charity: Just thank God those days are over. ” “ A lodger? ” I repeated.
chi.18871535	Were the means sug- gested by the mayor of promising enough charac- ter to accomplish the looked- for end?
chi.18871535	What I said, however, was this: “ You have kept an account, you say, of the varied phenomena seen in this house?
chi.18871535	What am I to these? ” 42 IN THE GABLE WINDOW The answer, or rather a possible answer, came speedily.
chi.18871535	What are folks supposed to see?
chi.18871535	What are these letters?
chi.18871535	What did the girl mean?
chi.18871535	What did you tell her? ” “ Nothing. ” Sullenness itself in the tone.

chi.18871535	What discoveries?
chi.18871535	What follows?

chi.18871535	What have you done? ” she persisted, trying to draw him up on the pil- low.
chi.18871535	What have your other tenants seen? ” “ Shadows mostly; but not always.
chi.18871535	What idea?
chi.18871535	What if I should be seen at it? ” “ The ghost will protect you! ” Again that smile of mingled sarcasm and in- nuendo.
chi.18871535	What is the meaning of it?
chi.18871535	What menace may they not con- tain?
chi.18871535	What might there not be in it?
chi.18871535	What motive could they have for depreciating the value of what was once their own property? ” So he knew nothing of the lost bonds!
chi.18871535	What occupied the space between?
chi.18871535	What reason have you for that, Miss Saunders?
chi.18871535	What secret's 99 here?
chi.18871535	What shall I do?
chi.18871535	What shall I say to her,-how account for my comfort- able wrapper and the fact that I have not yet been abed?
chi.18871535	What should frighten me? ” “ Oh, nothing. ” Her back was to me now, but I felt that I knew her very look.
chi.18871535	What then was left?
chi.18871535	What was Mrs. Packard's secret trouble?

chi.18871535	Where did it lead — do you mind my asking?—into a room or into a hallway?
chi.18871535	Where is Mrs. Packard? ” They were too speechless with wonder to an- swer me.
chi.18871535	Where should I seek it?

chi.18871535	Which of these two men had told me a lie?
chi.18871535	Who could know?
chi.18871535	Who knows?
chi.18871535	Why do we al- 38o A CHILD ’S PLAYTHINGS ways come back to the subject of John?
chi.18871535	Why do we so hate dark- ness and the chill of unknown regions, even when we know they are empty of all that can hurt or really frighten us?
chi.18871535	Why do you take your stand by the side of another man than myself?
chi.18871535	Why had Bess so strongly insisted on a secret search, and why had she concealed her license in so strange a place?
chi.18871535	Why should n’t you be the same to- day?
chi.18871535	Why this curiosity?
chi.18871535	Why were people afraid to remain in this house?
chi.18871535	Why, look at this P ” “ What? ” I demanded, hurrying to the closet, where Ellen stood bending over something invis- ible to me.
chi.18871535	Why? ” I asked, with all the force of a very rapidly increasing curiosity.
chi.18871535	Will — ” she hesitated, then burst out, “ will you do something for me? ” “ If I can, ” I smiled.
chi.18871535	Wo n’t you let me look at it?
chi.18871535	Would I do so and so?
chi.18871535	Would Mrs. Packard appear at breakfast?
chi.18871535	Would a single answer cover all?
chi.18871535	Would it help matters for me to address him?

chi.18871535	You believe the whole thing a fraud?
chi.18871535	You desired this before you came to this house?
chi.18871535	You do not know this woman, Mayor Packard; for instance, you do not know her name. ” “ Not know her name?
chi.18871535	You have confidence in her? ” I allowed myself to speak with all the enthusi- asm she so greedily desired.
chi.18871535	You have that account now? ” “ Yes, Miss Saunders. ” “ Let us look it over together.
chi.18871535	You understand me? ” “ I think so, ” I replied, meeting her steady look with one equally composed.
chi.18871535	You will have to observe the servants yourself. ” I made another note in my mind while inquir- ing: “ Who is the young man who was here just now?
chi.18871535	a week? ” “ Probably a week. ” “ Then you can do what I want.
chi.18871535	and how long have you been in the house?
chi.18871535	and was this crumpled letter the sole result of a half- hour's ransacking in an attic room at the dead of night?
chi.18871535	and you were sent on an errand?
chi.18871535	are you there?
chi.18871535	has it?
chi.18871535	nothing; she?
chi.18871535	or had she felt a draft of which I in my bounding health was unconscious?
chi.18871535	what?
chi.18871535	who then? ” “ Mayor Packard. ” And then I had to tell her.
chi.18871535	you can assure me of that? ” “ Positively. ” “ What are you playing there? ” It was Mrs. Packard who spoke.
chi.18871535	you can assure me of that? ” “ Positively. ” “ What are you playing there? ” It was Mrs. Packard who spoke.
chi.18871535	you do n’t think so? ” he impetuously asked, moved, perhaps, by my suggestive silence.
chi.18871535	“ A cipher? ” “ I have always been good at puzzles.
chi.18871535	“ And what do you know of them?
chi.18871535	“ Are you glad to have mama merry again?
chi.18871535	“ But, ” I quietly pursued, “ how much of this old woman ’s story do you believe?
chi.18871535	“ Did she ever tell you where she came from? ” “ Yes, she mentioned the place,—it was some town farther west.
chi.18871535	“ Did you hear that laugh? ” she panted.
chi.18871535	“ Do n’t you see how that cabinet leans to the left?
chi.18871535	“ Do n’t you wish some assistance from me?
chi.18871535	“ Do you like old Colonial blue ware as well as that?
chi.18871535	“ Do you think it a cipher? ” I asked.
chi.18871535	“ Does Nixon stay late when he goes out? ” She threw herself into a chair and took up her embroidery.
chi.18871535	“ Has it?
chi.18871535	“ Has — have they — has anything of a disagree- able nature happened to any one in this house? ” he asked with ill- concealed perturbation.
chi.18871535	“ Have n’t you another closet here? ” I faltered.
chi.18871535	“ Have you an enemy, Mayor Packard?
chi.18871535	“ Have you not made some mistake? ” he asked.
chi.18871535	“ How came you to think?
chi.18871535	“ How do you account for her persistency in clinging to a place her employers invariably fled from?
chi.18871535	“ How far shall I feel myself at liberty to go in this attempt? ” “ As far as your judgment approves and cir- cumstances seem to warrant.
chi.18871535	“ How long do you expect to stay over there? ” “ Oh, that I ca n’t say. ” “ A month?
chi.18871535	“ How long do you expect to stay over there? ” “ Oh, that I ca n’t say. ” “ A month?
chi.18871535	“ Is Mrs. Packard in a hurry? ” I asked.
chi.18871535	“ May I ask your intentions in this matter? ” said he.
chi.18871535	“ Nixon, you have Mr. Steele's address? ” “ Yes, Mrs. Packard. ” “ Then go to it at once.
chi.18871535	“ No, ” said I, “ why should I?
chi.18871535	“ Nothing?
chi.18871535	“ Now what are we to do? ” said he.
chi.18871535	“ Oh! ” I exclaimed; “ and the nephew?
chi.18871535	“ Shall I help you up out of this?
chi.18871535	“ This position — involving secrecy — is it one you would advise me to take, even if I did not stand in need of it so badly? ” “ Yes.
chi.18871535	“ Wait for what?
chi.18871535	“ Wait? ” I softly repeated.
chi.18871535	“ Was it you who made this trap give way?
chi.18871535	“ Was that good? ” she asked.
chi.18871535	“ Was there the impediment of a former mar- riage? ” No answer from the sternly set lips.
chi.18871535	“ Well? ” he eagerly inquired.
chi.18871535	“ What are you going to do? ” she gasped, with the quickness of doubt and strong if reasonless apprehension.
chi.18871535	“ What did you do? ” he asked.
chi.18871535	“ What do you expect to find? ” 2I4 I SEEK HELP “ Some spring or button by which this floor is made to serve the purpose of a trap.
chi.18871535	“ What does this mean?
chi.18871535	“ What is the reason of that, pray?
chi.18871535	“ What secret?
chi.18871535	“ Who could have laughed like that?
chi.18871535	“ Who is he? ” asked the other.
chi.18871535	“ Whose was it?
chi.18871535	“ Why do they all look at me so closely? ” I queried, in genuine confusion.
chi.18871535	“ Why to them?
chi.18871535	“ Will you accept the position? ” he asked.
chi.18871535	“ Will you not take a nap?
chi.18871535	“ Yet you have never been frightened by any- thing there? ” “ I know; but I have suffered; that is, for one who has no feelings.
chi.18871535	“ You are honest with me? ” she urged.
chi.18871535	“ You are suspicious of these two poor old women?
chi.18871535	“ You found Mr. Steele? ” “ No, Miss, he was not at home. ” “ But they told you where to look for him? ” “ No.
chi.18871535	“ You found Mr. Steele? ” “ No, Miss, he was not at home. ” “ But they told you where to look for him? ” “ No.
chi.18871535	“ You have seen both of their faces? ” she asked.
chi.18871535	“ You know the cause of Mrs. Packard ’s pres- ent uneasiness? ” I asked.
chi.18871535	“ You know what was in that? ’ queried Miss Thankful.
chi.18871535	“ You live opposite; in Mayor Packard ’s house? ” I approached her, smiling.
chi.18871535	“ You wish to see me, Mrs. Packard? ” “ Yes. ” The tremble in this ordinary monosyl- lable was slight but quite perceptible.
chi.18871535	“ ‘ What has happened?
hvd.hn1kp4	Hello, what's new? ” we heard a voice in the hall. hvd.hn1kp4 I believe you are acquainted with Mr. de Moche, Professor Norton?
hvd.hn1kp4	I sup- pose you know that the old Chimu tribes in the north were the wealthiest at the time of the coming of the Spaniards? ”. hvd.hn1kp4 I?
hvd.hn1kp4	Indeed? ” returned Whitney; and I noticed for the first time that his eyes seemed fairly to glitter with excitement. hvd.hn1kp4 Is Professor Kennedy here? ” I heard a voice inquire.
hvd.hn1kp4	My God,he ex- claimed,"tell me — she isn't- hurt, is she?
hvd.hn1kp4	You saw that? ” he smiled. hvd.hn1kp4 You see? ” she continued.
hvd.hn1kp4	* You think you will have something tangible soon?"
hvd.hn1kp4	-224 THE GOLD OF THE GODS with it, that he now had it?
hvd.hn1kp4	-“Have you found anything?"
hvd.hn1kp4	144 THE POISONED CIGARETTE 145 “ Well,"he remarked, as we seated ourselves, “ how did you come out in your tète- à- tête?"
hvd.hn1kp4	160 THE GOLD OF THE GODS “ What do you attribute it to?"
hvd.hn1kp4	236 THE GOLD OF THE GODS “ What are you going to do? ” I queried.
hvd.hn1kp4	: “ Do you know Señora de Moche well? ” I ven- turned, a moment later.
hvd.hn1kp4	Ah, well, perhaps it will be better — who can tell?
hvd.hn1kp4	And if I could not make out Lockwood, a man at least of our own race and education, how could I expect to fathom Alfonso?
hvd.hn1kp4	And if they have”—she paused to emphasize it—"what does that mean? ” Kennedy had turned his attention to the Señorita.
hvd.hn1kp4	And it was that, partly, that ailed Mendoza?"
hvd.hn1kp4	And supposing you have it — what does that imply? ” Whitney thought a moment over the last propo- slowly.
hvd.hn1kp4	At any rate, he later drowned himself in the lake, I have heard. ” THE SHOE- PRINTS 129 “ Could he have been made insane, do you think?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Beware of Mr. Lockwood?
hvd.hn1kp4	But did you notice how the treatment contracted the pupils of Whitney's eyes almost back to normal again?".
hvd.hn1kp4	But is there none left?
hvd.hn1kp4	But what has that to do with Norton?"
hvd.hn1kp4	But, say, there is a change in Whitney, is n't there?
hvd.hn1kp4	But, then, it flashed over me, was not my own case worse?
hvd.hn1kp4	By the way, may I trouble you and Leslie to go over to the Museum of Natural His- tory with a letter?"
hvd.hn1kp4	By the way, you know the young man pretty well, do n't you?
hvd.hn1kp4	Could a human fly have scaled the walls, or an aëroplane have dropped an intruder at the window ledge?
hvd.hn1kp4	Could he have spoken so heartily if he had known what it was, damning to himself, that Kennedy had tucked away in the laboratory?
hvd.hn1kp4	Could it be that Señorita Mendoza had some antipathy which did not include the son?
hvd.hn1kp4	Could it be that we were only half right — that they had gath- ered here but that Inez had really disappeared?
hvd.hn1kp4	Could some one have sent the letter not to produce the effect apparently intended, but with the ultimate ob ject of diverting suspicion from himself?
hvd.hn1kp4	Could there be some scientific explanation of the evil eye?
hvd.hn1kp4	Did he know something of the dagger?
hvd.hn1kp4	Did it betoken a further tragedy?
hvd.hn1kp4	Did it mean that the treasure would then be left for her family?
hvd.hn1kp4	Did n't you notice that?
hvd.hn1kp4	Did you notice a change in Mr. Whitney, or have n't you known him long enough?
hvd.hn1kp4	Did you tell the elevator boy that she had suddenly been taken ill?
hvd.hn1kp4	Do you feel strong enough to go down to Whitney's with me?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Do you see anything peculiar? ” He was running all three records which we had on the telescribe.
hvd.hn1kp4	Had Whitney intended the capture of Inez for Lockwood?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had he been laying low, waiting his opportunity to get away?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had he found a con- tinuation of the tire- tracks?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had he left a legacy of fear of a love forbidden by race preju- dice?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had it been for the purpose of throwing us off the track?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had the Gold of the Gods lured him into its net, too?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had the truth come out in his jests?
hvd.hn1kp4	Had they, then, some significance?
hvd.hn1kp4	Have I ever given you cause to suspect even one little motive of mine?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Have I no one to trust? ” She was crying.
hvd.hn1kp4	Have you found out anything about the de Moches?"
hvd.hn1kp4	He had raised his voice from the whisper, and I 10 134 THE GOLD OF THE GODS caught Inez looking anxiously at Kennedy, as much as to say, “ You see?
hvd.hn1kp4	He never liked the man. ” “ What did Lockwood say about Norton?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Hello — what's this? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	House party?"
hvd.hn1kp4	How are you?
hvd.hn1kp4	How could he be such a boob as to let the chance slip through his fingers?"
hvd.hn1kp4	How is Señorita Inez?"
hvd.hn1kp4	How was she when she arrived home? ” I told him of her parting injunction.
hvd.hn1kp4	I had and said so, adding, “ But what was your idea? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	I looked at him in surprise, I, who did n't think I had an enemy in the world “ But who could it have been?"
hvd.hn1kp4	I presume I shall see you again? ” he nodded to Kennedy.
hvd.hn1kp4	I suppose you know of the loss of the old Inca dagger from the University Museum and that it was that with which Don Luis was mur- dered?"
hvd.hn1kp4	I trust everything is all right? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	I trust that answers your question?"
hvd.hn1kp4	I wonder if you could find him anywhere about the University this morning and persuade him to visit me?"
hvd.hn1kp4	I wonder if you'd object if we had a little luncheon up here, to- morrow?
hvd.hn1kp4	I wonder what caused it? ”"It's as noticeable as that?"
hvd.hn1kp4	I wonder what caused it? ”"It's as noticeable as that?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Inez Mendoza without friends just now would be a mark, would n't she?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Is not that enough? ” If it had been any one less than Whitney, we should probably have said it was not.
hvd.hn1kp4	Is the Gold of the Gods worth it? ” There could be no denying that it was real to her, whatever we might think of the story.
hvd.hn1kp4	It was a poison- one you would never dream of. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	It was perhaps half an hour, perhaps longer, after we had left the Señorita, before, sure that 186 THE GOLD OF THE GODS “ You saw them?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Just a flying trip, I guess — or does he expect you? ” “ I do n't think he does,"returned Craig truth- fully.
hvd.hn1kp4	Lock wood since, I suppose? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	Lockwood and Señor Mendoza had some 54 THE GOLD OF THE GODS joint interests in the country, too, did n't they?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Lockwood seemed to take it as though it applied to himself very readily, did n't he?
hvd.hn1kp4	May I see that you get home safely?
hvd.hn1kp4	Might he not have lost it?
hvd.hn1kp4	Might not Mendoza have been murdered with it by some other hand to obtain or to hide the secret on its bloody blade?
hvd.hn1kp4	Might not some of her feelings be readily accounted for?
hvd.hn1kp4	Might not some one else — the Señora, or Al- fonso, or both — have obtained it?
hvd.hn1kp4	Might not some unseen hand strike at me, perhaps sooner than at him?
hvd.hn1kp4	Might that very fear which the Señorita had of the Señora engender a feeling that would produce the very result that she feared?
hvd.hn1kp4	Now, was she more than a clever actress?
hvd.hn1kp4	Oh, what is it?
hvd.hn1kp4	Oh- what shall I do?
hvd.hn1kp4	Once when I asked him he put me off; told me to wait until I was a little older. ” “ And you think that may have something to do with the case?
hvd.hn1kp4	Only I say that he told me nothing of it. ” “ Then he might have known?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Or was he playing a lone hand?
hvd.hn1kp4	Or was she hinting at Inez accepting Alfonso's suit?
hvd.hn1kp4	Perhaps somehow it bore the secret of the big fish- who knows?
hvd.hn1kp4	Perhaps they may not be so with you. ” “ Is there any special thing you want to find out?"
hvd.hn1kp4	See?
hvd.hn1kp4	She spoke bitterly; yet might she not mean that the loss of the dagger, the secret, was a curse, too?
hvd.hn1kp4	Sometimes Whitney's unreasonable. ”"You do n't think he could have known something about the dagger all along?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Such eyes, such a figure — did you ever see a more beautiful woman? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	Suppose the first mes- sage were true?
hvd.hn1kp4	Surely you must have some other suspicions,"he persisted, “ some- thing that you feel, even though you do not know?"
hvd.hn1kp4	THE ACETYLENE TORCH 265 out?
hvd.hn1kp4	THE ARROW POISON 79 else was there to do?
hvd.hn1kp4	THE SHOE- PRINTS 131 “ Who was it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE 17. listakably as I took his stronger the “ Wo n't you ask him to come in, Nita?
hvd.hn1kp4	THE TELESCRIBE 243 “ Whose is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	THE X- RAY READER 117 “ What do you know about that fellow Norton, up at your place? ” he demanded, almost before we had seated ourselves.
hvd.hn1kp4	The hardest place to follow them would be across country. ” With a lantern? ” I objected.
hvd.hn1kp4	The rest you know. ” “ You have told Inez that?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Then are their chances better than others?
hvd.hn1kp4	Then were their chances of finding the treasure any better than any one else had?
hvd.hn1kp4	Then what does he do?
hvd.hn1kp4	There was n't the odour of any gas or drug? ” Lockwood shook his head slowly, fixing his eyes on Kennedy's face, but not looking at him.
hvd.hn1kp4	Understand?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Was he implying that it was sent to cast suspicion on him, because he felt that way himself or because he himself was her friend?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was he the one who had got away and now calculated to come back and throw us off guard?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it Inez, not the dagger, that he really wanted?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it a coinci- dence, or was it merely a blind?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it a freak of my mind, or was there some reason for it?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it a sort of auto- hypnotism?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it actually a look of relief that crossed her face?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it possible that there might be something in it- not objectively, but subjectively?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it really empty?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was it through loyalty to the man who had contributed to financing his expeditions to South America?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was that the reason why the Señorita so evidently feared her?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was the same idea in his mind, also?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was there some in- truder there?
hvd.hn1kp4	Was there such a thing, I wondered hastily, as the drug of the evil eye?
hvd.hn1kp4	We have n't got it, and we never had it. ” “ Then who has it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	What can it mean?".
hvd.hn1kp4	What could we do?
hvd.hn1kp4	What could we do?"
hvd.hn1kp4	What did it mean?
hvd.hn1kp4	What did it mean?
hvd.hn1kp4	What did you expect to accomplish by it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	What had happened to him?
hvd.hn1kp4	What if there should be something in it?
hvd.hn1kp4	What makes them so — well, ef- fective? ” “ Oh,"Craig answered quickly, “ her pupils were normal enough.
hvd.hn1kp4	What more natural than to think that we were both there?
hvd.hn1kp4	What then more likely to cover himself up than to return when he knew that his entrance would be known, and find the thing himself?".
hvd.hn1kp4	What then? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	What was it, I wondered, that kept him delving into the archæological lore of the library?
hvd.hn1kp4	What was it- man or devil?
hvd.hn1kp4	What was it?
hvd.hn1kp4	What was it?
hvd.hn1kp4	What was its message?
hvd.hn1kp4	What was the reason back of it all, I asked, as I thought of those wonderful eyes of hers?
hvd.hn1kp4	What were we to do?
hvd.hn1kp4	What were we to do?
hvd.hn1kp4	What will it be next?
hvd.hn1kp4	What would he ask?
hvd.hn1kp4	What's that?
hvd.hn1kp4	What?
hvd.hn1kp4	Where should we go?
hvd.hn1kp4	Where will it end?".
hvd.hn1kp4	Which was he working for, nown or was he working for himself alone?
hvd.hn1kp4	Which way shall we turn? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	Whitney?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Whitney?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Whitney?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Who could have sent the messages to us all?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who had sent the warnings?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who knows?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who knows?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who was likely to have known of curare?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who was the man addressed as “ Doc ”?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who were these to scorn her race, her family?
hvd.hn1kp4	Who would go in?
hvd.hn1kp4	Why did you pick out this house?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Why do n't they come out and face me?
hvd.hn1kp4	Why do n't you go home and take a rest?
hvd.hn1kp4	Why not meet it now?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Why not pause before it is too late? ” I could not quite catch the secondary implica- tion of her plan.
hvd.hn1kp4	Why should I do otherwise?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Why tempt fate, then?
hvd.hn1kp4	With what?"
hvd.hn1kp4	Would that be natural for one so high- strung? ”"Perhaps not- right away.
hvd.hn1kp4	Would you remember the boy? ” he asked of Tommy.
hvd.hn1kp4	Would you treat it seriously or disregard it?
hvd.hn1kp4	XXIII THE ACETYLENE TORCH CNO you suppose he really had the dagger, or was that a lie?"
hvd.hn1kp4	XXV C. THE GOLD OF THE GODS"W HAT are you doing here? ” demanded VV Craig, astonished.
hvd.hn1kp4	You are shadowed by some one- you think it is by Whitney?"
hvd.hn1kp4	You can come?"
hvd.hn1kp4	You have no clue, I sup- pose?"
hvd.hn1kp4	You remember the sample of blood which I squeezed from your thumb?
hvd.hn1kp4	You see how neat it all is?
hvd.hn1kp4	You're cracking a crib?
hvd.hn1kp4	You've been trying to get me all day?
hvd.hn1kp4	asked the coroner eagerly, “ nux vomica?"
hvd.hn1kp4	away?
hvd.hn1kp4	ger had something to do with the Gold of the Gods, did you not? ” I hinted.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ A cat?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ A plant? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Afraid of him — why?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And Jameson, too?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And Mr. Lockwood, who is he?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And Professor Kennedy?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And did she notice it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And the curse?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And you believe what he says, too? ” There was a silence.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ And you?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Another car?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Are you all right now, old man? ” he asked, bending over me.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Are you going up toward the University?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Are you hurt? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Are you quite sure you are able to stand the strain of this interview?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Are you ready?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Are you sure that he knew nothing about it before? ” “ No, ” confessed Whitney, “ I'm not sure.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Broken? ” I managed to say.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ But did he say anything, has he done anything? ” persisted Kennedy.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ But do you think she was going to accept as truth what you told her?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ But what has that to do with the evil eye? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Ca n't you call him up again? ” The clerk, as I had anticipated, went into Whit- ney's office to telephone.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Can they hear us?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Can we not expect you?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Can you make anything out of that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ De Moche- with her, now? ” queried Kennedy, wheeling suddenly.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Did anything happen after I left? ” she asked eagerly.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Did he have a visit from one of his detectives?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Did he have a visit from one of his detectives?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Did he tell her that?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Did n't that sat- isfy you? ” “ Five centigrams considerably improved on it,"he continued, paying no attention to me.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Did you see any ladies?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Do n't you think you ought to preserve the marks?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Do you know anything more about these meng THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE 25 Lockwood and de Moche? ” he queried, as we sped uptown.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Do you suppose that woman could be using Whitney for some purpose?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Do you want me to tell you the truth? ” “ Yes, ” she murmured.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Does Whitney know about this- or Lockwood? ” Kennedy shook his head negatively.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Don Luis de Mendoza? ” repeated Norton, with a startled exclamation.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Had your father any enemies who might de- sire his death?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Has any- thing happened?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Has anything else happened?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Have they found her? ” asked Lockwood hoarsely."
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Have you any idea who might have an object in stealing the dagger? ” Kennedy asked, when he had finished.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Have you asked my mother? ” “ Not yet, ” admitted Kennedy.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Have you no suspicions of what became of it and who took it? ” “ I'd prefer not to talk of mere suspicions,"he repeated.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Have you or any one you know ever sought to discover its secret and search it out?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Have you seen Mr. Lockwood? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1kp4	“ He never told you of it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Hello, is Mr. Whitney there? ” I heard later as he placed the record again in the phonograph for repetition.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ How about the Señora's eyes?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ How could you, a stranger, know?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ How — what do you mean?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ I do n't know whether you have noticed it,"be- gan Craig, “ but I wonder how you feel?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ I do n't think he'll be back at least for an hour. ” “ Is he at the Prince Edward Albert?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ I may ask Professor Kennedy, too? ” He could scarcely refuse before us.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ I suppose Jameson has already told you that I called you up last night — and what I said?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Is Kennedy in- oh, he has n't come back yet?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Is everything all right? ” whispered one, a new voice which was somewhat familiar I thought, but disguised beyond recognition.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Is that so? ” he said merely.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Is there any trace of Inez? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Just what are Mr. Lockwood's relations with him-and yours?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Let me see,"continued Whitney, “ your con- cessions are all about here, in the north, are n't they?".
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Lockwood! ” “ What is it? ” came Lockwood's voice from out- side.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Lockwood?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ May I have a cigarette out of that case over there? ” he asked, indicating a box of them on a table.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Nitrous oxide?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ No bottle, no glass?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ No more anonymous letters, I hope? ” he queried, in a tone which I could not determine whether serious or sarcastic.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ No — who is this?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Nothing else is gone?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Other warnings?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Perhaps it may have been sent to divert suspicion — who can tell? ” he whispered.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Professor Kennedy? ” called an unfamiliar voice.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Say, ” he ejaculated, “ it was Norton brought you into this case, was n't it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Señorita,"he said finally, in a voice that was deep and thrilling with feeling, “ have I ever been other than a friend to you?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ She thinks it referred to you, then? ” asked Kennedy.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ So you're another rival, are you? ” purred Whitney sarcastically.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ The weed of madness?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Then it is pure tradition on which Mr. Lock- wood and Mr. Whitney depend in their search for the treasure?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Then what has happened that makes you use the oxygen?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Then you have thought of something?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Then you know the secret of the hiding- place of the treasure? ” queried Kennedy abruptly.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Then you were listening while I was talking to Professor Norton?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Then,"he exclaimed, rising, “ you must know of the ruins of Chan- Chan, of Chima — those wonderful places?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Those cigarettes have been doped! ” “ Doped? ” I interrogated, in surprise.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Was he alone? ” asked Craig.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Was it about anything I should know? ” queried Craig.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Well, of all things, what do you think of that? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Well, what do you think of that?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Well,"I remarked, as we walked along, “ what do you think it is — a ro- mance or a simple crime- hunt? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Well,"asked Kennedy, pausing with a test- tube poised over a Bunsen burner, “ have you found any- thing yet?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What about it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What are they? ” “ Well,"resumed Lockwood, “ I was n't in Lima at the time.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What are you going to do- give it up? ” he asked tensely.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What did he say?".
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What did he say?".
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What did you find? ” I queried.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What did you think of him then?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What do you make out of it?".
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What do you suppose is the matter? ” Again the bell rang.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What do you think of Lockwood? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What do you think of her? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What does it mean?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What has Whitney been doing? ” Norton seemed reluctant to talk, but having no alternative motioned to us to step aside in the cor- ridor.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What has happened?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What has she done to make you fear it? ”"I do n't like her,"returned Inez, with a frown.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What have you found? ” I queried.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is it? ” she questioned, raising her eyes to him again.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is the effect? ” I asked, wondering whether it might have contributed to the cause of Mendoza's death.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is this deadly poison that was used on Mendoza?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What is this ‘ curse of Mansiche'which the Señorita has mentioned?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What seems to be the matter now?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What shall I do?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What the matter? ” asked Kennedy, putting the circumstances together.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What was it you had Inez drop into Whitney's coffee? ” I asked Craig as we parted from him and rode uptown.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What was that?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What was that?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What — you here, Kennedy? ” he greeted in sur- prise as Craig shook hands and introduced Norton.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What's he doing? ” “ Maybe he has a hunch.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What's that?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ What's the result of your detective work on Norton?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Where are you now?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Where did it come from — and how? ” I asked, as I tore the envelope open.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Whitney knows her pretty well now, does n't he? ” I shot out.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who is Haggerty? ” asked Craig, thinking of the name signed to the letter we had read.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who is it? ” he answered.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who is this Señor de Moche? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who is this Señora de Moche? ” he asked, studying her as if she had been under a lens.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who told you? ” he asked finally.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who's this?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Who?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Whom does it mean?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why do n't they come out into the open, who- ever they are?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why do n't you and Kennedy try to see Señora de Moche?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why is it that you fear it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why should he have wanted to get me?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why was he here? ” demanded Lockwood, with just a trace of defiance in his voice, as though he fancied the meeting had been framed.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why, what has he done?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why? ” he asked simply.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ With this weed of madness, as you call it?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Wo n't you be seated? ” he asked, pulling around one of the wicker chairs.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Would you care to meet them? ” He replied in the negative.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Would you like to know why you feel that way?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You are acquainted, I suppose, with a Señora THE WALL STREET PROMOTER 59 de Moche? ” ventured Kennedy again, taking a chance shot.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You are confident of Mr. Whitney?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You can read mystery- like a book? ”.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You have something to report? ” she asked, a trifle anxiously.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You have?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You heard Mr. Lockwood say that he had be- come associated with a Mr. Whitney, Mr. Stuart Whitney, down in Wall Street?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You know Mr. Whitney, I suppose?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You know Señora de Moche and Alfonso?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You know the jimson weed — the Jamestown weed, as it is so often called? ” he continued, ex- plaining.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You remember when we were talking to the watchman down there at the station, Walter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You saw no weapon- a dagger? ” he interrupted suddenly.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You saw nothing about the den that aroused any suspicions? ” pursued Kennedy.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You saw the dagger which Norton brought back, did you not? ” asked Kennedy of Whitney.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You say the dagger was triangular, Norton?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You say your father knew the Señora?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You see that wound?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You still have no idea who could have sent it, or why?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You suppose?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You were acquainted with Lockwood? ” he asked finally.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You will drop in on me if you hear anything?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You will ex- cuse me?
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You will excuse me a moment? ” he apologized.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You will excuse us?"
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You will let me know of any development, no matter how trivial? ” asked Kennedy, as we parted.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You will tell Mr. Kennedy — you will both be- so'careful? ” she hesitated before leaving me.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You — you got it? ” he asked, seizing the pack- age that contained the gourd and unwrapping it nervously.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You'll let me know, Kennedy, if you discover anything? ” he asked, shaking hands with us.
hvd.hn1kp4	“ You- you are a detective?"
hvd.32044086831104	- 49 “ Did you feel anything? ” demanded Miss Perfect, sharply.
hvd.32044086831104	- “ I — I wish to know, the Kincton Knoxes, are n't they a leading people rather, in their part of the world? ” “ Oh, dear, yes.
hvd.32044086831104	- “ In three weeks?
hvd.32044086831104	- “ Well, dear? ” inquired her mother, inquisi- tively.
hvd.32044086831104	- “ Well, what do you say? ” he repeated, pointing with his hand instead.
hvd.32044086831104	- “ What o'clock is it, aunt? ” asked he.
hvd.32044086831104	- “ Yes, I think it's cricket, ai n't it? ” she replied.

hvd.32044086831104	115 “ And how is Mr. Wagget? ” asked William, who did not care to come formally under cri- tical discussion.
hvd.32044086831104	17 “ I — I suppose he'll understand the rea- sons? ” suggested Vane Trevor, half interro- gatively.

hvd.32044086831104	21 And Miss Perfect, with a very honest sur- prise in her face, said:- “ Am I to understand, Mr. Vane Trevor? ” and she too came to a stop.

hvd.32044086831104	241 “ Well, any news — anything? ” asked William.
hvd.32044086831104	27 “ Certainly; shall I fetch it? ” said William, half rising.
hvd.32044086831104	275 “ Come back, sir; how dare you? ” almost screamed Miss Clara.
hvd.32044086831104	33 “ Quite made up your mind? ” “ Quite, Willie. ” “ That's right — h'illie, ” said he, with a smile, and a nod of approbation.

hvd.32044086831104	61 “ Last winter? ” he said.

hvd.32044086831104	All looked towards the signal, and Miss Perfect threw up the window and said: “ How do you do, Mr. Trevor?
hvd.32044086831104	And now, Mr. Maubray, will you have some tea? ” “ No t hanks; no more tea to- night.
hvd.32044086831104	And really, if people are nice, and quite well bred, what more do you want? ” “ Oh, nothing, ” sighed William.
hvd.32044086831104	And what did you say, pray? ” ALL IN THE DARK.
hvd.32044086831104	And what does Violet — Miss Dark- well — say? ” “ Say!
hvd.32044086831104	Are we to have croquet to- day? ” 118 ALL IN THE DARK.
hvd.32044086831104	At breakfast, Miss Wagget asked of her brother, “ Did you hear the noise at the hat- stand in the hall last night?
hvd.32044086831104	But Miss Clara, with admirable coolness, said quite innocently — “ What of Mr. Maubray?
hvd.32044086831104	But very sensible — always was; a good head — wiser than many an older body. ” “ You ’ve never seen the lady? ” said Wi.
hvd.32044086831104	But what is the poor fellow to do?
hvd.32044086831104	But why is it, will you tell me who know every- thing, that gentlemen always ask for a rose or a violet, or a flower of some sort, as a keep- sake?
hvd.32044086831104	But — a — how did you like your ride? ” “ Very stupid, ” answered the young lady.
hvd.32044086831104	But — but what's to be done?
hvd.32044086831104	Come out and have a walk with me, will you? ” answered Vane.
hvd.32044086831104	Could William hope to succeed so well?
hvd.32044086831104	Could old Winnie be quite old Winnie, and Aunt Dinah gone?
hvd.32044086831104	Did he men- tion it to- day? ” “ I — I- perhaps he did.
hvd.32044086831104	Did he- a- talk of anything? ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044086831104	Did he- a- talk of her good looks?
hvd.32044086831104	Do I make myself clear?
hvd.32044086831104	Do n't you see? ” said the old lady, with a nod, and her dark and prominent eyes fixed suddenly on her daughter.
hvd.32044086831104	Do n't you? ” said William.
hvd.32044086831104	Do you believe?
hvd.32044086831104	Do you play, Miss Darkwell? ” “ Sometimes, at the Rectory — not here.
hvd.32044086831104	Do you want to kill me, sir? ” “ I?
hvd.32044086831104	Do you want to kill me, sir? ” “ I?
hvd.32044086831104	Does she think it was a fancy only, or a real thing? ”- “ Pooh A spirit of course.
hvd.32044086831104	Had William enlisted, or had he embarked as steward on board an American steamer?
hvd.32044086831104	Had he not better go on, and await its arrival there?
hvd.32044086831104	Had he not money enough for all his wants?
hvd.32044086831104	Had the break- up in- deed come?
hvd.32044086831104	How are you, auntº are you quite well? ” asked he, in reply to her.
hvd.32044086831104	I asked simply, will Violet Darkwell's marriage — hook my body, please — will Violet Darkwell's marriage prove happy?
hvd.32044086831104	I ca n't see why she should not; can you?
hvd.32044086831104	I could fancy growing quite in love with it — isn't it? ” “ Yes, ” said William, shortly, and filled his glass, and drank it in a hurry.
hvd.32044086831104	I dare say she likes him, as why should she not?
hvd.32044086831104	I have had — old Winnie and I – some answers. ” “ Table- rapping? ” said William.
hvd.32044086831104	I hope your head's better l ’ ’ “ My head?
hvd.32044086831104	I met — who do you think? ” “ I have n't an idea, ” replied Miss Dark- well, to whom he had chiefly addressed him- self.
hvd.32044086831104	I suppose I had better? ” “ No, ” said Miss Perfect, with decision; “ were I you I should much prefer speaking.
hvd.32044086831104	I think he has something to say: but, hang it, why could not he tell it as well at Gilroyd, and to the people it concerns?
hvd.32044086831104	I understand it, quite. ” “ And what is it? ” asked he.
hvd.32044086831104	I ’m but a dismal companion — very; and how long is it since young Mr. Trevor was here?
hvd.32044086831104	I'm sure I change, and so do you, and what wo n't three years do?
hvd.32044086831104	I've been too long a burden on my aunt. ” “ Admiral wom’le sh'r?
hvd.32044086831104	If there be no familiar spirit, it's nothin/, and if there be, what is it?
hvd.32044086831104	Is it really progress* Do we improve* Do n't we ”( he would have said Violet?)
hvd.32044086831104	Is n't there a short way to the Warren? ” “ Yes, I'll take you right.
hvd.32044086831104	Is n't there blue verbena? ” And away ran Violet, and her pretty figure and gay face flitted before the windows in the early sun among the flowers.
hvd.32044086831104	Is that what you mutter? ” “ Well, speak out.
hvd.32044086831104	It is very odd. ” “ Were there knockings? ” inquired she.
hvd.32044086831104	It would not taste like tea. ” “ What's the matter with the tea? ” asked Miss Perfect, over the edge of her letter.
hvd.32044086831104	It's awfully ridiculous, the whole thing. ” “ I thought you said she was very fond of your poor aunt? ” said Vane, a little nettled.
hvd.32044086831104	Like people who knew one another before? ” asked Miss Clara, eagerly, in tones little above a whisper.
hvd.32044086831104	Maubray?
hvd.32044086831104	May I run out to the flowers? ” “ Certainly, dear; ” and Aunt Dinah peered through her spectacles at the half made- up, ALL IN THE DARK.
hvd.32044086831104	Miss Perfect, looking over her spectacles, and then with elevated chin through them, said: “ Where have they gone to?
hvd.32044086831104	Mr. Herbert, would you object to poor Howard's having a holiday?
hvd.32044086831104	Mr. — Mr. — pray what am I to call you?
hvd.32044086831104	Nephew, how are you?
hvd.32044086831104	Not had luncheon yet?
hvd.32044086831104	Poor Grannie will miss you very much. ” “ And you, not at all. ” “ I?
hvd.32044086831104	Remember we meet at breakfast — shan’t we? ” “ Oh, certainly.
hvd.32044086831104	She has never spoken to you on the subject? ” said Aunt Dinah.
hvd.32044086831104	The best thing a fellow going to the bar can do is to marry, and have a wife and lots of babbies — it makes them work so hard — doesn't it?
hvd.32044086831104	Then I suppose I have been telling fibs as usual?
hvd.32044086831104	Then she's Miss Maubray? ” said the lady.
hvd.32044086831104	There was a little pause, and, suddenly look- ing up, she said, rather petulantly: “ Think of him?
hvd.32044086831104	This sort of thing, by Jove, it will never do, it would wear out any fellow; where's the good in putting off?
hvd.32044086831104	Was I cross?
hvd.32044086831104	Was n't I? ” “ Yes, so you were, a very good- natured friend, and very useful.
hvd.32044086831104	Was not Louis Philippe an usher in a school?
hvd.32044086831104	Was not that a blush, or only the rosy shadow under her bonnet?
hvd.32044086831104	Well, Howard, have you got the revolver? ” Master Howard's face was swollen with tears and fury P- “ No, they would n't give it me.
hvd.32044086831104	Well, old Winnie, have you got it? ” “ Here, I think, Master William, ” answered Winnie.
hvd.32044086831104	What am I to do about the cheque? ” “ I will not touch a farthing, ” said William.
hvd.32044086831104	What are those fellows doing? ” exclaimed Kincton Knox, attracted by a sound of chopping from without.
hvd.32044086831104	What can she see in him?
hvd.32044086831104	What could Trevor want to talk to him about?
hvd.32044086831104	What do you think? ” ALL IN THE DARK.
hvd.32044086831104	What do you wish me to do?
hvd.32044086831104	What do you wish me to do? ” said that accommodating gentleman in the grey tweed and copious white waistcoat.
hvd.32044086831104	What does she want? ” he replied, laughing at the child's indignation, and pursuing the nomen- clature of Southey's pleasant little nursery tale.
hvd.32044086831104	What have you got to say?
hvd.32044086831104	What more need they ask? ” said old Winnie.
hvd.32044086831104	What shall I read to- night? ” and he strode listlessly to the little book case, whose polished surface flashed 74 ALL IN THE DARK.
hvd.32044086831104	What was it to him whether he were late or not?
hvd.32044086831104	What was it?
hvd.32044086831104	What were these papers?
hvd.32044086831104	Who are you, pray, that anything more should be expected from you?
hvd.32044086831104	Who'd have thought?
hvd.32044086831104	Why do n't you call me Willie, or old bear, as you used to do?
hvd.32044086831104	Why do you want to know? ” she added, laughing.
hvd.32044086831104	Will you please have something a'ter your ride? ” “ Nothing, Tom, nothing, thanks, but I'd like very much to see Winnie.
hvd.32044086831104	Will you please have something a'ter your ride? ” “ Nothing, Tom, nothing, thanks, but I'd like very much to see Winnie.
hvd.32044086831104	Would not a thimble or even a slipper be better?
hvd.32044086831104	Would you like to have a shot with my revolver?
hvd.32044086831104	Would you like to see her, Master William P ” “ Does she look happy — does she look like herself? ” inquired William.
hvd.32044086831104	Yet what need he care?
hvd.32044086831104	You do n't object, Dr. Drake P ” “ I?
hvd.32044086831104	You see it there, Clara, on the rising ground, near the paling? ” She did.

hvd.hn1kp1	In what way? ” “ Best man I've got.
hvd.hn1kp1	Is it not so?
hvd.hn1kp1	Is it not so? ” “ Art thou thyself for the Raj? ” asked Yasmini.
hvd.hn1kp1	Is it not so? ” “ Art thou thyself for the Raj? ” asked Yasmini.
hvd.hn1kp1	Is that clear?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Is that it? ” “ I am thinking of those regiments, and.
hvd.hn1kp1	Is that not so? ” Ranjoor Singh did not answer her.
hvd.hn1kp1	Is that rupees twenty?
hvd.hn1kp1	It need surprise nobody that Colonel Kirby found time first to go to his bath- 156 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD Shame to burn'em, what?
hvd.hn1kp1	It was a brown horse, I think. ” “ Which way did he go? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.hn1kp1	It was a brown horse, I think. ” “ Which way did he go? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.hn1kp1	It was in the dark, and the dark is very big. ” “ Did he give it you at Yasmini's? ” “ Oh, no, sahib!
hvd.hn1kp1	Kneel and beg! ”"Why — what- what d'ye mean? ” de- manded Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	Let's see — wasn't Ranjoor Singh officer- of- the- day?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Looks that way to me. ” “ And you mean — there's a chance- even a chance of us of Outram's Own bein'out of it?
hvd.hn1kp1	Mischief, back of a woman's mind, Why do the thoughtless fight?
hvd.hn1kp1	Moreover, I am un- rewarded — I have no emolument- as yet! ” 145 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD"How will who know?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Nay, what is there to cut but the dark that closes up again?
hvd.hn1kp1	Neither will speak his mind freely before company — is it not so?
hvd.hn1kp1	No suspicions, eh? ” 5.Said,'No, no suspicions!'”.
hvd.hn1kp1	No?
hvd.hn1kp1	Not in his quarters?
hvd.hn1kp1	Not knowing names of individuals, what was use of going to police, who would laugh at me?
hvd.hn1kp1	Not where?
hvd.hn1kp1	Now, Germany —"“ Germany?
hvd.hn1kp1	Of what in particular?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Of what?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Oh, who would n't be light cavalry?
hvd.hn1kp1	Or else the sahib may deliver me to guard, and guard shall be regaled free gratis with full account of evening's amuse- ment?
hvd.hn1kp1	Reason?
hvd.hn1kp1	Reconsidered yes- terday's decision? ” 184 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD “ No, ” said Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	Sahib, not more than twenty minutes have elapsed, and I saw this with my own eyes! ” “ Saw whát- where? ” “ Where?
hvd.hn1kp1	Sahib, not more than twenty minutes have elapsed, and I saw this with my own eyes! ” “ Saw whát- where? ” “ Where?
hvd.hn1kp1	Scent of a sambur, up and gone, Where will he stand at bay?
hvd.hn1kp1	See them?
hvd.hn1kp1	Shake hands, will you?
hvd.hn1kp1	Since when has the customer been humble while the seller calls the tune?
hvd.hn1kp1	So I ran to give warning, be- ing veree poor man and without salaried employment. ” “ What happened to the Germans? ” “ Jail, sahib!
hvd.hn1kp1	So Ranjoor Singh, the Jat, is missing? ” “ Yes, ” said Kirby, frowning, for he was not pleased to hear Ranjoor Singh spoken of slightingly.
hvd.hn1kp1	Sparks in the whirl of a hurrying wind, Who was it laid the light?
hvd.hn1kp1	Tell'em a trooper of ours saw a light there?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Temper of his men excel- lent, I suppose? ” “ Used that one word. ” “ Um- m- m!
hvd.hn1kp1	That man was Ranjoor Singh in mufti! ” “ What makes you think so? ” “ I recognized him.
hvd.hn1kp1	That part was easy! ” “ Of what size are the bombs? ” asked Ranjoor Singh.
hvd.hn1kp1	The Sikhs want a 30- THE WINDS OF THE WORLD--- place in the sun from which they are barred at present- eh?
hvd.hn1kp1	The gen- eral answered his salute and left the room, to 253 Teeth of a wolf on a whitened bone, What do the splinters say?
hvd.hn1kp1	The risaldar- major is all vitalitee! ” “ Where did he give you the ring?".
hvd.hn1kp1	The whole regiment will be needed, instead, to mount guard over Delhi. ” “ The regiment is to go, sahib, and my squadron, and — and I not?
hvd.hn1kp1	The winds of the world flow in and out of these four walls. ” “ Then where is Ranjoor Singh? ”'asked Colonel Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	Therefore"“ Where did you get this ring? ” de- manded Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	They light it and extinguish it. ” “ Has anybody come out of that door? ” “ No, sahib. ” “ None gone in?"
hvd.hn1kp1	They light it and extinguish it. ” “ Has anybody come out of that door? ” “ No, sahib. ” “ None gone in?"
hvd.hn1kp1	To convince you of what?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Two chargers. ” “ Destination, sir? ” asked Brammle.
hvd.hn1kp1	Were the sahibs not also afraid?''
hvd.hn1kp1	What I want to know is why were you so afraid at Yasmini's?"
hvd.hn1kp1	What are you offering? ” “ The freedom of the earth! ” the German answered.
hvd.hn1kp1	What did I say?
hvd.hn1kp1	What did he say?
hvd.hn1kp1	What do you mean to do???
hvd.hn1kp1	What do you mean to do???
hvd.hn1kp1	What do you mean to do???
hvd.hn1kp1	What d’you want?"
hvd.hn1kp1	What has happened?'
hvd.hn1kp1	What is all this?
hvd.hn1kp1	What is the answer? ” “ I will answer when the time comes,"answered Ranjoor Singh, saluting stiffly before turning on his heel.
hvd.hn1kp1	What is the connec- tion?
hvd.hn1kp1	What of me?
hvd.hn1kp1	What shall be done with him?
hvd.hn1kp1	What were you doing in there? ” demanded War- rington.
hvd.hn1kp1	What would the world be without enemies?
hvd.hn1kp1	What's that? ” There came a challenge from the rear.
hvd.hn1kp1	What's that?"
hvd.hn1kp1	When did you first know that these Germans had taken this vault to use? ”.
hvd.hn1kp1	When will the bees swarm?''
hvd.hn1kp1	Where is Germany? ” The man with the gray eyes took her literally, since his nation are not slow at seizing opportunity.
hvd.hn1kp1	Where is Germany?''
hvd.hn1kp1	Where is he now?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Where?
hvd.hn1kp1	Where?"
hvd.hn1kp1	Which way went the murderer? ” “ Grief overwhelms me! ” said the babu.
hvd.hn1kp1	Who am I that I should know why he goes again?
hvd.hn1kp1	Who are you?
hvd.hn1kp1	Who else?
hvd.hn1kp1	Who in thunder-who's waking up the horses at this un- earthly hour?
hvd.hn1kp1	Who rode it?
hvd.hn1kp1	Who shall be trusted to carry my trust?
hvd.hn1kp1	Who would n't be light cavalry?".
hvd.hn1kp1	Why?".
hvd.hn1kp1	Will the sahib pay, or will he let the trooper parch? ” “ Ask Jagut Singh!
hvd.hn1kp1	Will they follow thee up- stairs?
hvd.hn1kp1	Yes, come in. ” “ Is it peace, Jehu? ” asked Brammle.
hvd.hn1kp1	Yes? ” The steps came nearer yet.
hvd.hn1kp1	Yet- would the sahib not better beg of me?"
hvd.hn1kp1	You can fool Colonel Kirby sahib, but you can not fool a hundred troop- ers! ” “ No? ” she purred.
hvd.hn1kp1	You do not like this pistol?
hvd.hn1kp1	You know that a few hours ago D Squadron were all sitting about in groups looking miserable?
hvd.hn1kp1	You know, of course, of the translations from Canadian papers, discussing the rejection of Sikh im- migrants?
hvd.hn1kp1	You or I? ” “ He would n't answer you."
hvd.hn1kp1	You take it as an insult?
hvd.hn1kp1	You've done nothing about them? ” “ I'll have time to attend to that this afternoon, sir. ” “ Oh, no, you wo n't.
hvd.hn1kp1	You? ” he remarked, as he recog- nized a native risaldar of D Squadron.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ A German? ” growled Ranjoor Singh.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And another missing? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Did Ranjoor Singh go off to search for the missing man? ” “ I was told so."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And another missing? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Did Ranjoor Singh go off to search for the missing man? ” “ I was told so."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And if he is missing, what has that to do with me? ” asked Yasmini.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And what has he promised?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And when did you know that they were storing dynamite in here? ” “ I did not know. ” “ Then, blankets? ” “ Bah!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And when did you know that they were storing dynamite in here? ” “ I did not know. ” “ Then, blankets? ” “ Bah!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ And who is the fisherman?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Another drink? ” “ No, thanks. ” “ Who won? ” asked one of the two men in the window.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Another drink? ” “ No, thanks. ” “ Who won? ” asked one of the two men in the window.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Any details that are not too confidential for me to know?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Any recent efforts been made to tamper with them? ” “ Not more than I reported.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Any word? ” asked Warrington.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Anything happen while I was gone? ” asked Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are the Moslems out after your temple gods? ” “ Aha!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are those dynamite?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are we to turn aside for every fat babu that asks to speak to us?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are you a true friend of the risaldar- major? ” “ May I die, sahib, if I am not! ” “ And I?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are you a true friend of the risaldar- major? ” “ May I die, sahib, if I am not! ” “ And I?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are you ready, Kirby — abso- lutely ready?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Are you sure she has?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Ask Ranjoor Singh about it. ” “ Who?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Ask questions? ” “ Yes. ” “ What do you tell them? ” “ That I do n't know, and they must wait until I do."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Ask questions? ” “ Yes. ” “ What do you tell them? ” “ That I do n't know, and they must wait until I do."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Believe it will come to anything? ” asked one of the two men he had left behind.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ But will she hold hers? ” Westward, into the hungry West,( Oh, listen, wise men, listen ye!)
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Can I read men's hearts? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Can you see those, babuji?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Did you hear? ” she hissed ex- citedly.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Did you order it done? ” “ Did Jumna rise when the rain came?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Did you order it done? ” “ Did Jumna rise when the rain came?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Did you recognize him, sir? ”"Whom?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Did you recognize him, sir? ”"Whom?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Do they smell a rat? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Do you mean that? ” whispered Yas- mini, as she pushed past Ranjoor Singh.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Do you mean to ride away with him and stage a mutiny?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Does the burra sahib think I killed him?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Does the fire still burn? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ D’you happen to know anything about my risaldar- major, Ranjoor Singh? ”'asked Kirby, after a hasty apology for bursting in.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ D’you know a person named Yasmini? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ D’you suppose we can blame it on the babu, sir?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Ever see her?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Exactly, sir. ” “ Hallo — what's that?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Feel as if any one was lookin'at you, sir?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Feel that, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Got a match, sir? ” Kirby struck one.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Grief for what?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Had a drink? ” he asked, as Kirby looked up from his paper.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Had he a weapon of any kind? ” “ Not knowing, would prefer to say noth- ing about that.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Has it broken yet? ”"No."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Have one? ”"Ginger ale, please, ” said Kirby, putting the paper down.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Have you ever heard, sahib, that he who strikes the wearer of a Northern knife is like to feel that knife?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Here- in my house! ”"Then he was here? ” “ How else would he kick the man here?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Here- in my house! ”"Then he was here? ” “ How else would he kick the man here?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How do you know? ” “ I have known for nearly two years what you will find there, my friend!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How d’ye mean? ” Warrington explained.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How d’ye mean? ” asked Kirby, sur- prised into speaking English.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How is he best?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How long should it take that man to reach her? ” asked the German.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How much had you seen when you ran to warn me this afternoon? ” The babu looked pitiful.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ How should I know?''
hvd.hn1kp1	“ I have heard_men say —"“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ I will promise you Ranjoor Singh, alive and clean! ”"When?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ I, sahib?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ In time! ” “ In time for what? ” “ Against the regiment's need! ” “ No use.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is he there still? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is it dark down there? ” she asked him; but he did not answer.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is it goin'to break? ” 85 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD “ Looks like it.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is it true, sahib? ” he shouted, and 107 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD Kirby raised his whip in the affirmative.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is that his loin- cloth you've got still? ” “ Did n't propose to leave it in the road for him to come and find, sir!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is that you? ” “ Uh? ” The man faced about.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is that you? ” “ Uh? ” The man faced about.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Is the risaldar- major sahib thirsty? ” wondered Yasmini.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Killed where? ” he demanded; so they told him.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Know Yasmini? ” asked the man in drab silk suddenly.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Know where Ranjoor Singh is by any chance? ” asked Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Men say that you know most of what goes on in Delhi-"“ And? ” She was Impudence ar- rayed in gossamer.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ My belly crawls! ” “ What's the matter, man? ” “ He is a fakir.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Nay, sahibs, I but followed him, and how should I know?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Never see a big bird act that way?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ No?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ None. ” “ Any other door to the place? ” “ There may be a dozen, sahib.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Not disclosed! ” “ Where do we entrain? ” asked War- rington.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Not sick, are you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Of her cobras, sahib! ” “ What of them? ” demanded Warring- ton, with a reminiscent shudder.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Of the Sikh Light Cavalry? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Of what besides Yasmini were you afraid?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ On what condition?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Remember how we were promised a world- war two years ago, just before the Balkans took fire? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Reported by whom? ” “ By the Afridi who is now dead. ” “ Who killed the Afridi?''
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Reported by whom? ” “ By the Afridi who is now dead. ” “ Who killed the Afridi?''
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Sahibdo I understand?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Sahibs, having no means of telling time, how can I guess? ” 143 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD “ How long ago?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Sahibs, having no means of telling time, how can I guess? ” 143 THE WINDS OF THE WORLD “ How long ago?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Say you want to have a word with him?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Shall I repeat it, sir? ”'asked the aide- de- camp.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ She fooled us, eh? ” “ D’you suppose she's for or against the government, sir? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ She fooled us, eh? ” “ D’you suppose she's for or against the government, sir? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Should I walk through Delhi naked?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ So you rode on the luggage- rack behind the carriage, did you, babuji? ” he smiled.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Special service? ” “ Special service, ” said the general.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Still dark? ” she said, looking through the aperture once more.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Suppose it's a forgery? ” “ The ring rather proves it is n't, and I've another way of knowing."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Tell you all about it after I've had a word with Ranjoor Singh. ” “ Had n't I better go and help look for him?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ That he will do what is required of him! ” “ Is that the price of a drink for Jagut Singh? ” “ Aye!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ They are welcome. ” “ Do many go?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Want to be recognized? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ War, sir?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Was there mud on him?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ We're under orders?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Wears well-- doesn't he? ” said one of them.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Well, sir?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Were we overheard? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What about him?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What alternative do you suggest? ” asked the man in gray, with a wry face.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What do you know about this? ” “ As peaceful citizen in pursuance of daily bread and other perquisites, I claim protection of police!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What do you want with me? ” demanded Ranjoor Singh.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What hast thou promised him? ” “ To show him a mutinous regiment of Sikhs."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What have you heard? ” “ That- I've heard a sort of promise that he'll be with his squadron, to lead it, before the blood runs."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What if I kneel? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What is it, oh, babuji? ” laughed Ran- joor Singh.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What is the cocked pistol for? ” she asked the German.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What is the missing trooper's name? ” “ Jagut Singh. ” “ Well, please enter him in Orders, too."
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What now, Warrington? ” “ Caught'em grooming Ranjoor Singh's charger in the dark! ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What now, Warrington? ” “ Caught'em grooming Ranjoor Singh's charger in the dark! ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What now?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What of them? ” “ Lost!"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What sort of a horse?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What was the first message that the babu brought this evening? ” he asked, still being very careful not to look into the sergeant's eyes.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What'll D Squadron say? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ What's the matter? ” demanded War- rington.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ When? ” Both men demanded to know that in one voice.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Where did Ranjoor Singh kick the Afridi?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Where is the man who came from behind the gate to clear the road? ” The man pointed toward the gate.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Where to? ” asked Warrington.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Where?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Which way? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who are they? ” asked Kirby.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who are you?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who asks mercy?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who is he? ” demanded Ranjoor Singh; and Yasmini rattled the bracelets on her ankles loud enough to hide a whisper.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who is not afraid of Yasmini?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who is she? ” he wondered, loud enough for fifty men to hear.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who knows? ” the Sikh answered.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who made thee prisoner in the first place?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who owns that house? ”'asked Kirby, since he could think of nothing else to ask.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who was that man asking for me? ” demanded the German.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Who's told'em d’you suppose? ” “ Dunno, sir.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Whom have you? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Why do you ask? ” he parried.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Why was n't it done?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Why?!
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Will the sahibs be seated?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Will the sahibs give their names?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Will the sahibs not be seated again?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ With pistols to shoot the cobras and sweat to put out flame?
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Wonder how they'd like German rule for a change?"
hvd.hn1kp1	“ Wonder if he's brought us to the right place? ” he whispered, sniffing into the moldy darkness.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ You have n't said anything to anybody, of course, about that incident last night? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Then she has! ” Warrington whistled.
hvd.hn1kp1	“ You said twenty- five rupees, eight annas?

hvd.32044010007292	If it's a sun bath, what's the use of a tunnel?
hvd.32044010007292	If that gaudy little fake goes in, you do n't suppose Blackie and I are going to allow it to be written by possible dubs, do you?
hvd.32044010007292	If you publish this merry little jest in the local papers, and somebody should ask me about it, how do you want me to carry on the laugh?

hvd.32044010007292	It has been fun, has n't it, partner?
hvd.32044010007292	It sounds delicate, but where's the rake- off?
hvd.32044010007292	It was a good joke, was n't it?
hvd.32044010007292	It will have the proper amount of Sizzlebite in it, wo n't it?
hvd.32044010007292	Just where is my property line?
hvd.32044010007292	Lemme see,mused the other;"did n't Texas lose a lot of money manufacturing the thing?"
hvd.32044010007292	Look here, Captain, ca n't I induce you to hurry up our order a little bit?
hvd.32044010007292	Mann, where's that outfit?
hvd.32044010007292	Maybe you're a manufacturer?
hvd.32044010007292	Net?
hvd.32044010007292	No heirs?
hvd.32044010007292	Now, Mr. Wall- ingford, what am I hired for?
hvd.32044010007292	Now, what's it all about?
hvd.32044010007292	Oh, you're his room- mate?
hvd.32044010007292	On the water?
hvd.32044010007292	Pretty good company?
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Blackie, you know who the county commis- sioners are, do n't you?
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Jim, do you suppose they could make a pianola small enough to put on a forty- foot launch?
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Wallingford, could you lend me a couple of hundred?
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Wallingford, how do you work the rest of it?
hvd.32044010007292	Say, mister,he presently ventured,"what's bein'dug there?"
hvd.32044010007292	Say, what do you think of this man Jones?
hvd.32044010007292	Send up and tell him I'm here, will you?
hvd.32044010007292	Shall we go to your lawyer's or to mine to draw up the agreement?
hvd.32044010007292	Sheriff?
hvd.32044010007292	Still you would vote with him to sustain that policy?
hvd.32044010007292	Sun baths?
hvd.32044010007292	Suppose they stopped you from making good, could you hold them to anything?
hvd.32044010007292	That is new- store prices or from our own whole- sale house?
hvd.32044010007292	That is, you mean that you buy a business or an 248 AGAINST THE RULES idea or a patent, and promote a company to manu- facture it and sell out?
hvd.32044010007292	That's what makes the road right for auto use, is n't it?
hvd.32044010007292	The Sizzlebite Paving Construction Company?
hvd.32044010007292	The ace of hearts you mean?
hvd.32044010007292	The manufacturer?
hvd.32044010007292	Then I suppose that you approve of his policy, as outlined in this morning's papers?
hvd.32044010007292	Then where do we get it? hvd.32044010007292 Then why do n't you come to the point?"
hvd.32044010007292	Then why do n't you show him some wheels go- ing round?
hvd.32044010007292	Then why wo n't he sell?
hvd.32044010007292	They know yours, do n't they?
hvd.32044010007292	Thinking of going into business here?
hvd.32044010007292	To hunt the rest of the'salt'?
hvd.32044010007292	Vi, I do n't believe I ever did under- stand why you were so violently sure that this cheese had to get off Broadway?
hvd.32044010007292	Wallingford?
hvd.32044010007292	Want to talk about buying the farm?

hvd.32044010007292	Your dinner up to the mark?
hvd.32044010007292	.What did you say your name was, mister?"
hvd.32044010007292	103 WALLINGFORD AND BLACKIE DAW"What'll you give?"
hvd.32044010007292	183 WALLINGFORD AND BLACKIE DAW"That check looks like it, does n't it?"

hvd.32044010007292	210 STANDING TREAT"Meaning Pinkyville or Lafayette Center?"

hvd.32044010007292	363 WALLINGFORD AND BLACKIE DAW"Did n't I tell you?"
hvd.32044010007292	383 CASH, PLEASE dred dollars a day out of your investment, have n't you?"
hvd.32044010007292	Am I in danger from fatty degeneration of the works?
hvd.32044010007292	Am I shaped like an Edam cheese?
hvd.32044010007292	And why did n't they sell this big place?
hvd.32044010007292	Are you goin'back with me?"
hvd.32044010007292	Are you running this show?"
hvd.32044010007292	Blackie, still circling the room, stopped abruptly in front of J. Rufus Wallingford, and said as follows:"Hello, stranger, have a drink?"
hvd.32044010007292	But what about Sizzlebite?"
hvd.32044010007292	But who was the most notable person and the most noted in all that hall of glittering light?
hvd.32044010007292	Ca n't you?"
hvd.32044010007292	Can you beat it?"
hvd.32044010007292	Can you fur- nish a clear title to that property?'
hvd.32044010007292	Daw?"
hvd.32044010007292	Daw?"
hvd.32044010007292	Daw?"
hvd.32044010007292	Did n't you tell me you had patents on a lot of those features?"
hvd.32044010007292	Do n't you think it would be a good play for you to give the masses in Tarryville a public boat- landing?"
hvd.32044010007292	Do you care if we fill a regular cup half full?"
hvd.32044010007292	Do you know of any really first- class openings?"
hvd.32044010007292	Do you mean to tell me that you only took the profit on the manipulation of the stock, and did n't snag out that twenty thousand?"
hvd.32044010007292	Does it seem to be^ anything like a gerry- mander?"
hvd.32044010007292	Germaine?"
hvd.32044010007292	Gootch?"
hvd.32044010007292	Great joke, is n't it?"
hvd.32044010007292	H.?"
hvd.32044010007292	Has he any money left?"
hvd.32044010007292	Have we time enough to get in?"
hvd.32044010007292	How about this Sizzlebite thing?
hvd.32044010007292	How are the big noises?"
hvd.32044010007292	How did it happen?"
hvd.32044010007292	How did they hand it to such a cunning lit- tle financier?"
hvd.32044010007292	How did your friend go about it, with his minority of stock?"
hvd.32044010007292	How does he?"
hvd.32044010007292	How is Violet Bonnie?"
hvd.32044010007292	How many square yards would that be?"
hvd.32044010007292	How much can I get in for to- mor- row?"
hvd.32044010007292	How much did he give you?"
hvd.32044010007292	How much do you offer?"
hvd.32044010007292	How much do you offer?"
hvd.32044010007292	How much do you want for it?"
hvd.32044010007292	How much ham and eggs is that?"
hvd.32044010007292	How soon may I write a prospectus?"
hvd.32044010007292	How's the graft, Charley?"
hvd.32044010007292	I behold white houses and red barns; I perceive windmills and haystacks, and orchards and cows —""Where's that auto?"
hvd.32044010007292	I suppose you're coming on a train?
hvd.32044010007292	I suppose you've had your lunch?"
hvd.32044010007292	I think it'll make a great story, do n't you?"
hvd.32044010007292	Is it, Marthy?"
hvd.32044010007292	Is that equality and brotherhood?"
hvd.32044010007292	Is that right, Mayor?"
hvd.32044010007292	Is the doctor or my family worried about me?"
hvd.32044010007292	Is the money up?"
hvd.32044010007292	Is this Pullet person just cackling about it, or can he really show an egg?"
hvd.32044010007292	Measuring from this cross —""What did you find?"
hvd.32044010007292	Monsieur, your friend, I take it, then, is not a chef?"
hvd.32044010007292	Mr. Frazier drew the insulted handle toward him 250 WALLINGFORD AND BLACKIE DAW member?
hvd.32044010007292	My appearance may be against me, be- cause I wear a black mustache and a cigarette, but I am not bad at heart; eh, Polly?"
hvd.32044010007292	Now if I could borrow one of these handles for her jockey and make a killing — Say; how do you set it on the high gear?"
hvd.32044010007292	Now, Blackie, what can we put over for you?"
hvd.32044010007292	Now, Monsieur Wallingford, could not this amount be made to do?"
hvd.32044010007292	Now, papa, where's that twenty bones you took home?
hvd.32044010007292	Now, what's your offer?"
hvd.32044010007292	Or have you heard the joke before?"
hvd.32044010007292	Pollet?"
hvd.32044010007292	Pretty good, eh?"
hvd.32044010007292	Rusty nails, eh?
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Bandit, jump Polly in here, will you?"
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Jim, can you think of any way to put a shower- bath on a forty- foot launch?"
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Jim, could you find room for a kitchen and a chef on a forty- foot launch?"
hvd.32044010007292	Say, Jim, if Fannie moves out here will she use a lorgnette?"
hvd.32044010007292	Say, old boy, has any- body ever taken the hex off you, or do you still walk around under a Jonah?"
hvd.32044010007292	Say, where do you eat?"
hvd.32044010007292	Shame, too, ai n't it?"
hvd.32044010007292	This stretch of the county road is exceptionally difficult, is n't it; hills and swampy land and all that?"
hvd.32044010007292	Wallingford?"
hvd.32044010007292	Was n't it jolly, and a trace deliciously wicked, too, to mingle with these interest- ing pariahs, and to study them at such close range?
hvd.32044010007292	Was these matches number five?"
hvd.32044010007292	What are you going to hand the Griswalds?"
hvd.32044010007292	What do you think 284 UP AGAINST IT of it?
hvd.32044010007292	What else?"
hvd.32044010007292	What have you been doing to earn our living?"
hvd.32044010007292	What is it?"
hvd.32044010007292	What kind of an auto are you manufactur- ing, plain or monogrammed?"
hvd.32044010007292	What makes Polly bulge so?"
hvd.32044010007292	What other bar- gains you got?"
hvd.32044010007292	What time will you be home?"
hvd.32044010007292	What was in 135 WALLINGFORD AND BLACKIE DAW it?
hvd.32044010007292	What will be the price of Sizzlebite paving?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's it going to cost us?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's new?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's next?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's the matter with me?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's the matter, Toad?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's the matter?"
hvd.32044010007292	What's your scheme to take it away from me?"
hvd.32044010007292	Where's Paul Pollet and that automobile?"
hvd.32044010007292	Where, oh, where is the little ace of hearts?
hvd.32044010007292	Which is the little ace of hearts?
hvd.32044010007292	Who are the members in good standing?"
hvd.32044010007292	Who controls Sizzlebite?"
hvd.32044010007292	Who is dickering with you on this property?"
hvd.32044010007292	Who is the party?"
hvd.32044010007292	Who takes this six bits that's left over?
hvd.32044010007292	Who was the most conspicuous, the most sought after, the center of all eyes and the pivot of all thought?
hvd.32044010007292	Who'll bet me a ten, a twenty, or a hundred that they can locate the little ace of hearts?
hvd.32044010007292	Who's to be stung?"
hvd.32044010007292	Why are you dishing him?"
hvd.32044010007292	Why do you want to know?"
hvd.32044010007292	Why does n't he live in it?"
hvd.32044010007292	Would you boys like to go?"
hvd.32044010007292	You heard this un- ripe doughnut drop the information, did n't you, that he had just loosened the last tidbit of papa's once estate?"
hvd.32044010007292	You own that property, do n't you?"
hvd.32044010007292	You remember that time 304 THAT'S THE TALK you smart Alecks stuck me on that strawberry colony deal?
hvd.32044010007292	called Wallingford; and then as Paul came back,"Is there anything in your story about the antique furniture?"
hvd.32044010007292	chided Violet Bonnie,"are n't you willing to spend that much to give your wives a treat?"
hvd.32044010007292	he pro- tested;"Little Billy Brack?
hvd.32044010007292	iWhere did you keep all those facts about that paint monopoly?
hvd.32044010007292	is that?"
hvd.32044010007292	sounds harm- less, but what is the present valuation of the site?"
hvd.32044010007292	what's that big black crow?"
hvd.32044015681869	Absolutely?
hvd.32044015681869	Am I to stand by and have people walking all over the Grand Archangel as if it were a public street?
hvd.32044015681869	And Irene Adler?
hvd.32044015681869	And did this have the effect of frightening them off?
hvd.32044015681869	And do n't you know where she goes to?
hvd.32044015681869	And for present expenses?
hvd.32044015681869	And how did you find out?
hvd.32044015681869	And little Roger? hvd.32044015681869 And now, Dupin, what would you advise me to do?"
hvd.32044015681869	And now?
hvd.32044015681869	And the date: do you see the date, in red? hvd.32044015681869 And the horse?
hvd.32044015681869	And the papers?
hvd.32044015681869	And what about the niece?
hvd.32044015681869	And what became of him?
hvd.32044015681869	And what do you think of that, Madame Alex- andre?
hvd.32044015681869	And what is the difficulty now?
hvd.32044015681869	And what of Irene Adler?
hvd.32044015681869	And what then?
hvd.32044015681869	And what, after all, is the matter on hand?
hvd.32044015681869	And when will you call?
hvd.32044015681869	And who are these gentlemen?
hvd.32044015681869	And why?
hvd.32044015681869	And you are going to this rendezvous?
hvd.32044015681869	And your father- in- law?
hvd.32044015681869	And, since Charles's death?
hvd.32044015681869	Are you Mr. Morris?
hvd.32044015681869	Are you going Saturday night?
hvd.32044015681869	Are you going to open it?
hvd.32044015681869	Are you serious?
hvd.32044015681869	Are you sure of your information?
hvd.32044015681869	Bad blood between you, then?
hvd.32044015681869	But Charles himself?
hvd.32044015681869	But I understand you're a cricketer yourself?
hvd.32044015681869	But how could I go about an affair like this, where there was not even a trace, a sign of any kind to start from?
hvd.32044015681869	But how will you look?
hvd.32044015681869	But how? hvd.32044015681869 But how?"
hvd.32044015681869	But is this really the poet?
hvd.32044015681869	But what is it you wish?
hvd.32044015681869	But what is there to tell?
hvd.32044015681869	But what purpose had you,I asked,"in replac- ing the letter by a facsimile?
hvd.32044015681869	But where in the world are you going at this hour, unwell as you are?
hvd.32044015681869	But why are n't they run in?
hvd.32044015681869	But,said I,"if that was Mackenzie, who was the fellow you bolted from at Warbeck?"
hvd.32044015681869	By the way, Mr. Steele,I said,"do you happen to know the president of the Municipal Bank —""J. R. Farrington Smith?"
hvd.32044015681869	Can he see it from his bed?
hvd.32044015681869	Can they hear us?
hvd.32044015681869	Can you see that from the floor, Walter?
hvd.32044015681869	Can you supply what I ask?
hvd.32044015681869	Did I not tell you how quick and resolute she was? hvd.32044015681869 Did Lord Crowley tell you so?"
hvd.32044015681869	Did n't you?
hvd.32044015681869	Do you begin to understand?
hvd.32044015681869	Do you know whether there is one night watch- man or two? hvd.32044015681869 Do you know who the thief is, my chief?"
hvd.32044015681869	Do you mean that she has left England?
hvd.32044015681869	Do you mean to say you do n't know a detective when you see one, Bunny?
hvd.32044015681869	Do you mean to turn me out into the rain? hvd.32044015681869 Do you think this Albano had anything to do with the letter?"
hvd.32044015681869	Do you want me to lose my place? hvd.32044015681869 Do you wonder at this after such a manifest stroke by a benevolent Providence?
hvd.32044015681869	Geraldine,returned the prince,"did you ever know me fail in a debt of honor?
hvd.32044015681869	Has any one swept in here since?
hvd.32044015681869	Has it ever done so?
hvd.32044015681869	Has the little fool re- turned?
hvd.32044015681869	Have they committed any robberies?
hvd.32044015681869	Have you your life preserver?
hvd.32044015681869	Hello, is this Duncan& Betts?
hvd.32044015681869	Henry, will you never be warned; never take these awful lessons to heart? hvd.32044015681869 How did that help you?"
hvd.32044015681869	How do you know?
hvd.32044015681869	How do you know?
hvd.32044015681869	How is that?
hvd.32044015681869	How is this known?
hvd.32044015681869	How killed, Sir Henry? hvd.32044015681869 How many?
hvd.32044015681869	How much was the reward offered, did you say?
hvd.32044015681869	How often?
hvd.32044015681869	How so?
hvd.32044015681869	How so?
hvd.32044015681869	How? hvd.32044015681869 How?
hvd.32044015681869	How?
hvd.32044015681869	I am to be neutral?
hvd.32044015681869	I believe you told me that you were to go to Anderson's house to- night, and report, did you not?
hvd.32044015681869	I understand your troubleDid she?
hvd.32044015681869	I?
hvd.32044015681869	If that was n't the fellow, which is?
hvd.32044015681869	In the eleven?
hvd.32044015681869	Is anybody interested in your not put- ting Black Riot into the field on Derby Day? hvd.32044015681869 Is he alive?"
hvd.32044015681869	Is it to be stand up?
hvd.32044015681869	Is the grave dug?
hvd.32044015681869	Is the poor gentleman much hurt?
hvd.32044015681869	Is there anything surprising in that?
hvd.32044015681869	Is your son Roger old enough to reach so far?
hvd.32044015681869	It is slow, is n't it? hvd.32044015681869 It will be the story of last night over again, of course?
hvd.32044015681869	Its susceptibility of being produced?
hvd.32044015681869	Mais comment est Madame la Marquise? hvd.32044015681869 May I ask how you come to know so much about it?"
hvd.32044015681869	Mr. John or Mr. James Morris?
hvd.32044015681869	Never?
hvd.32044015681869	No legal papers or certificates?
hvd.32044015681869	No sign of it?
hvd.32044015681869	No? hvd.32044015681869 Nor running a chance of arrest?"
hvd.32044015681869	Nothing more in the assassination way, I hope?
hvd.32044015681869	Now, I won- der who the deuce that could have been?
hvd.32044015681869	On the contrary, I went downstairs and straight into Lady Melrose's roomGENTLEMEN AND PLAYERS 165"You did?"
hvd.32044015681869	Ou done est l'ecrin de Madame la Marquise? hvd.32044015681869 Should I have been sent to you if I had not first secured the confidence of the sender?
hvd.32044015681869	So far as his labors extended?
hvd.32044015681869	So then...?
hvd.32044015681869	So you're the scoundrel, are you? hvd.32044015681869 Tell me, if it is not an impertinent question, did you take out an insurance policy on Murple's life and pay the premium on it yourself?
hvd.32044015681869	That Patagonian plant, eh? hvd.32044015681869 That being the case, what deductions would you draw from our discovery?"
hvd.32044015681869	The detective?
hvd.32044015681869	The mushroom of a single night which should disappear before morning?
hvd.32044015681869	Then his wife is young?
hvd.32044015681869	Then how do you know?
hvd.32044015681869	Then how do you know?
hvd.32044015681869	Then how many are there?
hvd.32044015681869	Then the valet gave you no information?
hvd.32044015681869	Then why on earth go?
hvd.32044015681869	Then, as to money?
hvd.32044015681869	Then, my chief,said Fanferlot, clinging to his idea,"you have been more successful than Madame Alexandre; you have made the little girl confess?
hvd.32044015681869	Therefore towards the promontory?
hvd.32044015681869	This is a very unexpected turn of affairs,said I;"and what then?"
hvd.32044015681869	This method of procedure?

hvd.32044015681869	and for what purpose this listening; and to what end did it lead?
hvd.32044015681869	he asked eagerly,"and between you and me?"
hvd.32044015681869	he cried, grasping 88 FAMOUS DETECTIVE STORIES"Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I believe?"
hvd.32044015681869	he cried,"is there anything in life so disenchanting as attainment?"
hvd.32044015681869	in what way?"
hvd.32044015681869	interrupted Fanferlot,"this silly girl wrote, and I never saw the letter?"
hvd.32044015681869	interrupted Fanferlot,"you have a letter, and did not tell me before?
hvd.32044015681869	is he not reviving slowly?
hvd.32044015681869	my boy, what do you make of that?"
hvd.32044015681869	said Madame Alexandre,"what do you think?"
hvd.32044015681869	so they are being watched?"
hvd.32044015681869	still admiring the pro- spect?
hvd.32044015681869	who ever heard of such an idea?"
hvd.32044015681869	who?
hvd.32044015681869	— How long has he been dead?
hvd.32044015681869	— Neilson patent, yes. — Well, who superintended the Secret Construction Room when this one was made?
hvd.32044015681869	— The old man himself, eh?
hvd.32044015681869	— Well, was his brother- in- law working with him in 1890?
hvd.32044015681869	— Where is Neilson now?
hvd.32044086882636	- “ When did you come across this yacht? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	- “ You are n’t a detective? ” he inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	190 DEAD MEN'S MONEY “ But is n’t that evident? ” suggested Smeaton.
hvd.32044086882636	A page lad came along with a telegram in his hand asking was there any gentleman there of the name of Moneylaws?
hvd.32044086882636	A • KNOPF MCMXX/..?"
hvd.32044086882636	Again — yes or no? ” “ Yes, ’ ’ said Chisholm.
hvd.32044086882636	And I told her, too, what I 41 THE BRASS- BOUND CHEST 43 other that ’ll throw some light on matters, no doubt? ” he suggested.
hvd.32044086882636	And I ’m wondering if whoever killed this fellow, whoever he may be, would n't have killed Mr. Gilverthwaite, too, if he ’d come?
hvd.32044086882636	And both rapped out the same inquiry, in identical words: 226 DEAD MEN'S MONEY “ Some news? ” I looked as eagerly at the butler as they did.
hvd.32044086882636	And in that case — how could one find out what it was? ” Mr. Lindsey got up, shaking his head.
hvd.32044086882636	And now we ’ll go and see this Mr. Smeaton; but first, where's the telegraph office in this station?
hvd.32044086882636	And so I ask, What do you, his solicitor, know of him — his character, his doings dur- ing the thirty years he was away?
hvd.32044086882636	And that ’s all. ’ ’ “ Was he always alone? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	And that ’s the last you ever heard? ” “ That ’s the very last we ever heard, sir, ” she an- swered.
hvd.32044086882636	And the next question was — what was I to do?
hvd.32044086882636	And what did begin, and what was going on?
hvd.32044086882636	And what was going to come of it, now that Abel Crone was aware that I knew something which, up to then, I had kept back?
hvd.32044086882636	And what were the two of'em after in this corner of the country?
hvd.32044086882636	And what ’ll you do there?
hvd.32044086882636	And when did you get to hear that, now? ” “ Half an hour ago, ” replied Murray.
hvd.32044086882636	And where's your purse? ” 164 DEAD MEN'S MONEY He had rightly sized up the situation.
hvd.32044086882636	And why, after keeping silence to everybody, did I decide to break it to Sir Gilbert Carstairs?
hvd.32044086882636	And why?
hvd.32044086882636	And — all that money on him and in his chest? ” Mr. Lindsey shook his head and smiled.
hvd.32044086882636	And — for what reason?
hvd.32044086882636	And — here I am I? ’- “ You want me to meet this other man? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	And — here I am I? ’- “ You want me to meet this other man? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	And — private? ” “ I ’ll go — and privately, ” I answered him.
hvd.32044086882636	And — there is nobody knows but you — and me! ” “ What are you going to do about it? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	And — there you are l ’ ’ “ That all? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	And — this, I think, was what was chiefly in my thoughts — was Crone playing some game of his own and designing to use me as a puppet in it?
hvd.32044086882636	And — what was the name he told you to use as a pass- word once you met his man, Hugh — wasn’t it Pan- ama? ” “ Panama! ” I answered.
hvd.32044086882636	And — where it was that the man was to wait for him?
hvd.32044086882636	And, as I say, who knows anything about his past doings when he was away more than thirty years, nor what company he kept, nor what secrets he has?
hvd.32044086882636	And, in that case, who was the somebody?
hvd.32044086882636	And, suddenly, another idea flashed across me — Was that tale true, or was the man telling us a pack of lies, all for some end?
hvd.32044086882636	Aye, who are the two witnesses?
hvd.32044086882636	Bruises, you understand. ” “ Where is he? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	But dead he was — and not from aught of my doing. ” “ What time was this? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	But what can this parson know? ”- As it soon appeared, Mr. Ridley knew a good deal.
hvd.32044086882636	But what is it you ’re going to do? ” ‘ ‘ How long are you going to stop here in Dundee, captain? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	But what is it you ’re going to do? ” ‘ ‘ How long are you going to stop here in Dundee, captain? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	But — did you keep that idea of yours strictly to yourself, now? ” “ Absolutely l ’ ’ I repeated.
hvd.32044086882636	But — where was he then?
hvd.32044086882636	But — you’ll take my offer? ” “ I ’d be proud and glad to, Sir Gilbert, ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	Could anything be plainer? ” “ Nothing! ” exclaimed Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	D'you follow that? ” “ I should be a fool if I did n’t l ” retorted Mr. Lind- sey.
hvd.32044086882636	Did Gilverthwaite pay them in your case? ” Mr. Ridley smiled.
hvd.32044086882636	Did n't I? ’ ” “ That is so, Sir Gilbert, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086882636	Did you happen to see his purse, now? ” “ Aye! ” answered I.
hvd.32044086882636	Do you follow me? ” THE OTHER WITNESS 87 “ Aye, I ’m following you, Mr. Crone, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086882636	Do you think this is some of Sir Gilbert's work, Mr. Hugh? ” he whispered when we were alone.
hvd.32044086882636	Does n’t he know anything?
hvd.32044086882636	Except that he is Sir Gilbert Carstairs, nobody in these parts knows anything about him — how should they?
hvd.32044086882636	First of all, do you know if any of your folks hailed from this part? ” “ Not that I ever heard of, sir, ” she replied.
hvd.32044086882636	Had Crone told me the truth that night I went to buy the stuff for Tom Dunlop ’s rabbit- hutches?
hvd.32044086882636	Had I been watched?
hvd.32044086882636	Had he a doctor to him since he was taken ill? ” “ Dr.
hvd.32044086882636	Had she any news of Maisie?
hvd.32044086882636	Had some person followed me out of Ber- wick that night?
hvd.32044086882636	Has any further light been thrown on that?
hvd.32044086882636	Have you no idea at all who did this? ” he asked, as I went down to him.
hvd.32044086882636	He ’s the sort that would give you a strong word by way of reference, eh? ” “ Oh, he ’ll do that, Sir Gilbert! ” I exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882636	Here's greatness — in a degree — thrusting itself on you! ” “ What's this you're talking about, Mr. Lindsey? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	How did I know?
hvd.32044086882636	How did he come to know?
hvd.32044086882636	Hugh here said he was ill; it would be a turn for the worse, no doubt, after Mr. Hugh left him º'?
hvd.32044086882636	I saw you both! ” “ You were there? ” I exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882636	I ’m won- dering if this has aught to do with all yon Carstairs affair?
hvd.32044086882636	Is it likely that with such news as that I would be troubling my head any longer about other folks ’ lives and deaths?
hvd.32044086882636	Is it likely, now, such a man would be without letters and that sort of thing in his pockets?
hvd.32044086882636	Is it that you ’re thinking about? ” “ Well, I was not, Mr. Lindsey, ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	It gained time, do you see, Moneylaws — it had to be done. ” “ Then — they are n't in Glasgow? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	It was odd that she should come down — had I better not ride up the town and see her?
hvd.32044086882636	It was the morning after Sir Gilbert left Berwick in his yacht. ” “ Did he mention anything about the yacht to you? ” inquired Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	It was to call for some scrip which I held — scrip of his own, of course. ” “ Which he took away with him? ” suggested Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	It would be a queer thing now, would n’t it, if we got some clue to all this through him?
hvd.32044086882636	Just a plain case of murder for the sake of robbery — that's it! ” “ What's your clue? ” asked Mr. Lindsey quietly.
hvd.32044086882636	Mr. Lind- sey, ” he went on, “ what are you going to do as re- gards this man that ’s lying dead upstairs?
hvd.32044086882636	No more! ” 20 DEAD MEN'S MONEY “ There's no danger in it? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	Now then, how far is it to this place where the girl was going? ” “ Seventeen miles, ” said I, promptly.
hvd.32044086882636	Now, then — do you see who was one of the witnesses to the will?
hvd.32044086882636	Now, will you bring Mr. Lindsey to see me in the morning — if he comes? ” “ He ’ll come — and I ’ll bring him, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086882636	Of my mother they knew less. ” “ You ’ll have letters of your father's? ” suggested Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	Or had that man been there, witnessed the murder, and gone away, frightened to stop where the murder had been done?
hvd.32044086882636	Or — yet again — was this some man who had come upon Mr. Gilverthwaite's correspondent, and, for some reason, been murdered by him?
hvd.32044086882636	So I never saw her. ’ ’ “ Do you know her maiden name? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	That's the truth! ” “ Well? ” said Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	The present holder, or claimant, for example?
hvd.32044086882636	There had been more within his knowledge than he had let out — but what was it?
hvd.32044086882636	They were not bulky, of course. ’ ’ “ You ’ve no idea where she went on that bicycle? ” inquired Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	They ’ve got all those! ” “ You mean to say — of your own knowledge — they ’re not at Hathercleugh? ” suddenly inquired Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	Tweedside at this time of the year, and who ’d think anything of seeing them?
hvd.32044086882636	Very well, then — what's this you want me for? ” “ To defend me, of course! ” growled the prisoner.
hvd.32044086882636	Was he the man I ought to have met?
hvd.32044086882636	Was it likely that I could make land?—was there ever a probabil- ity of anything coming along that would sight me?
hvd.32044086882636	Was this part of the general mys- tery?
hvd.32044086882636	Was this the man Mr. Gilverthwaite meant me to meet?
hvd.32044086882636	Was this — was Crone's death, murder, what- ever it was — at all connected with the previous affair of Phillips?
hvd.32044086882636	We ’ve done your bidding and more — but — why? ” I found my tongue at that.
hvd.32044086882636	Well, and what did you want to see me about, Mr. Moneylaws?
hvd.32044086882636	Well, man? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.32044086882636	Well, now, it ’s this — do you know this neigh- bourhood well? ” “ I ’ve never known any other, ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	Well, what have you to say?
hvd.32044086882636	What are we to understand by it, Lind- sey'’ “ What do you make of this? ” asked Mr. Lind- sey, turning to Hollins.
hvd.32044086882636	What did Nance Maguire want of me?
hvd.32044086882636	What do you say, now? ” “ That it depends on what it is, ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	What does all that prove but that it was from Liver- pool he came? ” “ Aye! ” I said.
hvd.32044086882636	What for did you not let on in your evidence that you saw Sir Gilbert Carstairs at yon cross- roads just before you found the dead man?
hvd.32044086882636	What is it all about — and who's going to piece it all together?
hvd.32044086882636	What is your opinion? ” “ It might have been, ” said the doctor cautiously.
hvd.32044086882636	What particular registers did this man examine?
hvd.32044086882636	What time can I look in this afternoon, Mr. Smeaton, to get a glance at those letters? ” “ Three o'clock, ” replied Smeaton.
hvd.32044086882636	What took place between Phillips's walking out of that inn at Coldstream Bridge and your find- ing of his body?
hvd.32044086882636	What was that deep old fish Gilverthwaite after?
hvd.32044086882636	What would a man be paying ten pounds for to anybody just to take a mes- sage?
hvd.32044086882636	What ’s the old saying—“Some achieve greatness, some have greatness thrust upon them l ’ — eh?
hvd.32044086882636	What's the police doing? ” “ What police do you mean? ” I inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	What's the police doing? ” “ What police do you mean? ” I inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	When Sir Gilbert came back at your father's death, did you recognize him? ” Mrs. Ralston tossed her head with obvious impa- tience.
hvd.32044086882636	When did you last see Sir Gilbert Car- stairs? ” Mr. Paley immediately turned to a diary which lay on his desk, and gave one glance at it.
hvd.32044086882636	Where are they? ’ ’ I READ MY OWN OBITUARY 177 news, and to ask one question after another, and Mr. Lindsey shook his head impatiently.
hvd.32044086882636	Where did he send the money from? ” FAMILY HISTORY 189 “ New York, ” replied Smeaton.
hvd.32044086882636	Where had Gilverthwaite last come from when he struck Liverpool, and set himself up with new clothes and linen?
hvd.32044086882636	Where had he been, then? ” “ God knows l ’ ’ said he.
hvd.32044086882636	Who did him to his death?
hvd.32044086882636	Who is there — who could there be that wanted to see Crone's dead body?
hvd.32044086882636	Who met Phillips?
hvd.32044086882636	Who was he, then?
hvd.32044086882636	Whose is it? ”- “ God bless us! ” exclaimed Mr. Portlethorpe.
hvd.32044086882636	Why at such a place, and at such an hour?
hvd.32044086882636	Why did n’t he come straight to me?
hvd.32044086882636	Why should not the two of us go to the police and tell what we knew 7 What was it that Crone advised we should wait for?
hvd.32044086882636	Why, then, had I not told her of this?
hvd.32044086882636	Why, then, should he counsel wait- ing?
hvd.32044086882636	Why?
hvd.32044086882636	Why?
hvd.32044086882636	Will you do that? ” “ She's close by? ” I demanded.
hvd.32044086882636	Will you do that? ” “ She's close by? ” I demanded.
hvd.32044086882636	Will you keep silence? ” “ Where's Miss Dunlop 2''asked I.
hvd.32044086882636	Will you smoke a cigar? ” he went on, picking up a box from the table and hold- ing it out to me.
hvd.32044086882636	Would Mr. Gilverthwaite have been murdered, too, if he had come there in person?
hvd.32044086882636	Would Mr. Gilverthwaite know who the man was?
hvd.32044086882636	You ca n’t think, now, of how, or why, yon Phillips man could have got that bit of letter paper of yours on him?
hvd.32044086882636	You do n’t know exactly from where, Mr. Smeaton? ” “ No, I do n’t, ” replied Smeaton, promptly.
hvd.32044086882636	You have n’t thought of following anything up yourself, Mr. Moneylaws, I suppose? ” 80 DEAD MEN'S MONEY “ Me l ’ ’ I exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882636	You say you ’ve never seen him for thirty years, or more?
hvd.32044086882636	You ’d notice that in the accounts, Mr. Smeaton? ” “ I did, ” he replied.
hvd.32044086882636	You ’ll go?
hvd.32044086882636	You ’ll keep me informed? ” ‘ ‘ I can give you some information now, ” answered Mr. Lindsey, pulling out the telegram.
hvd.32044086882636	You ’ll know that yourself, of course? ” “ Aye, but I ’m not going to tell you! ” he answered.
hvd.32044086882636	You ’re a clerk to Mr. Lindsey, the solicitor? ’ ’ ’ ‘ ‘ I am that, ” I answered.

hvd.32044086882636	You ’re sure you never set eyes on Sir Gilbert again after he and Hollins stopped you? ” he asked suddenly, as we went down the stair.
hvd.32044086882636	You ’ve been drinking hard — are you sober enough to talk sense?
hvd.32044086882636	You ’ve some message for me? ” I took a good look at him before I spoke.
hvd.32044086882636	You'll be for getting the next train to Berwick? ” “ I ’m not so sure, captain, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086882636	You'll be having business in the town for a While? ” “ Not business in the ordinary sense, ma'am, ” he answered.
hvd.32044086882636	Your mother’ll be a widow woman, now? ” “ Yes, ” said I shortly.
hvd.32044086882636	or had he kept something back?

hvd.32044086882636	“ A wee drop, now?
hvd.32044086882636	“ And I put a line to her and brought her in. ” “ Any other craft than yours about at the time? ” inquired Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And I ’ll lay a fiver to a farthing that it's the right one! ” “ Yes, Mr. Lindsey? ” said I, keenly interested at hearing that.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And Where? ” “ About seven miles out — a bit outside the bay. ” “ Empty? ” demanded Mr. Lindsey, looking keenly at the man.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And Where? ” “ About seven miles out — a bit outside the bay. ” “ Empty? ” demanded Mr. Lindsey, looking keenly at the man.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And how are we to let people know anything about him if there is n’t news in the papers? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And how do you account for two men getting away from the neigh- bourhood without attracting attention? ” “ Easy enough, ” declared Chisholm.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And if you ’ll make allowance for a bit of inexperi- ence — ” “ You ’ll do your best, eh? ” he laughed.

hvd.32044086882636	“ And saw nothing? ” he questioned.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And the question comes to this, ” observed the coroner, “ what was this man doing at that place, and who was he likely to meet there?
hvd.32044086882636	“ And the time? ” I said.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And the word — for surety? ” “ Eleven o’clock is the time, ” he answered.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And what ’s your name? ” he demanded, as if he had all the right in the world to walk into folks'houses and ask his questions.
hvd.32044086882636	“ And — the message? ” “ Aye! ” he answered, “ the message.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Any more of you — brothers and sisters? ” he asked.

hvd.32044086882636	“ Aye, that is what I ’m wanting! ” “ To do — what? ” I inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Aye- and how long is it since you last saw your brother, now? ” The woman shook her head as if this question pre- sented difficulties.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Aye? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Aye? ” he remarked quietly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Aye? ” he remarked, a bit wonderingly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Besides — didn't I see his face as he got himself and his yacht away from me?
hvd.32044086882636	“ But how much? ” he inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	“ But — ” “ But what? ’ ” said he, seeing me hesitate.
hvd.32044086882636	“ But, of course, it conveyed nothing to me. ” “ You ’ve no photograph of your father? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Can you account for any reason why the girl should be missing? ” “ I have n’t an idea, ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Can you think of any other that it would be?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Crone used to be out at nights now and then, did n’t he? ” “ Indeed, then, he did so, your honour, ” she an- swered readily.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Did he, for instance, happen to mention that he was leaving home for a time? ” “ Not at all, ” answered Mr. Paley.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Did n't you hear what the woman was saying when we came across her there outside the police- station? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Did n’t I tell you there ’d be revelations about Gilverthwaite, Hugh, my lad?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Did you communicate the news from Largo to Hathercleugh? ’ ” “ We did, at once, ” answered Murray.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Did you notice any footprints? ” asked Mr. Lind- Sey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you know any more about the girl than was in Murray's wire? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you know anything about Miss Dunlop 7 Is she safe?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you know aught of that man, John Phillips, whose name's in the papers too? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you know what it is you ’re suggesting, Lindsey? ” demanded Mr. Portlethorpe, suddenly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you know where Till meets Tweed? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you know who's one of the witnesses to this will?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you mean he ’s running away? ” “ Between you and me, that ’s not far from what I do think, ” he replied.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Do you think there ’s a will, mister? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ D’ye see that, now? ” he murmured.
hvd.32044086882636	“ For no more than that? ” “ Aye, for no more than that, ” she replied.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Has it struck any of you how that could be caused? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Have n’t you seen Sir Gilbert Carstairs?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Have you heard any more about that affair last night? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Have you heard this about that man Crone? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Have you no theory, Lindsey? ” “ I ’ve a sort of one, ” answered Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ He was a clever hand with the rabbits. ” “ Aye; but did he never bring home a salmon, now? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ How did you intend to get out there yourself, Mr. Gilverthwaite? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ How did you know? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ How do you know yon bad man is n’t still about? ” she whispered.
hvd.32044086882636	“ How much of all that money is there left in your hands? ’ ’ he asked, hoarsely.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I could n't be mis- taken. ” 196 DEAD MEN'S MONEY “ Did he bring a portmanteau or anything aboard with him, then? ” asked he.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I mean about Crone? ” “ Nothing, Sir Gilbert, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I suppose he died in his bed, miss? ” he asked softly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I suppose you do n’t know anything about this, my friend? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I wonder will all the stuff in the newspapers bring any one forward? ” he said, presently.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I ’m an ordinary clerk — of seven years ’ standing. ” “ Plenty of experience of office work and routine? ” he inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	“ I ’m much obliged to you. ’ ’ “ You think that man really meant you to drown? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ If so, what?
hvd.32044086882636	“ In fact, you ’re thoroughly well up in all clerical matters? ” he suggested.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Is it a post you would n't care about, then?
hvd.32044086882636	“ It comes to this — you suspect Sir Gilbert? ” “ What I say, ” he answered, “ is this: he may have had something to do with the affair.
hvd.32044086882636	“ It sounds like a piece out of a story- book — one of those tales of adventure. ” “ Aye, does it? ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	“ It was certainly caused by a pointed weapon — some sort of a spiked weapon? ” suggested Mr. Lind- sey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Just so — haven’t you met her? ’ ’ asked Mr. Portle- thorpe.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Keeping books, writing letters, all that sort of thing? ” “ I can honestly say I'm a past master in every- thing of that sort, ” I affirmed.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Lindsey would n’t stand in your way, would he? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Make yourself easy. ” “ And not a word to your mother? ” he asked anxiously.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Neither alive nor dead l ’ ’ “ Were her sails set at all? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Never heard that he called to see any old friends at all?
hvd.32044086882636	“ No concern of yours, d'ye hear, my lad? ” laughed I READ MY OWN OBITUARY 181 Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ No end of that, Sir Gil- bert l ” “ Are you good at figures and accounts? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Nor heard his voice down here — or anywhere? ” “ I never saw him again, nor heard him, ” answered Maisie.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Not a soul in her? ” “ Not a soul! ” answered Robertson.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Not even — ” “ Not even — who? ” he inquired quickly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Nothing more has been heard on that point. ” “ Then — have you come purposely to see me about it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Now, then, ” he continued, “ you know what they charge you with?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Now, why do you ask that last question? ” he said quietly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ So her ladyship's disappeared, too, has she?
hvd.32044086882636	“ So – beyond Crone — who, I hear, is dead — you’ve never told a living soul of this? ” he asked, eyeing me closely.
hvd.32044086882636	“ That far — and at that time of night? ” “ Aye! ” he said.
hvd.32044086882636	“ That was what he came for. ” “ Did he give you any hint as to where he was going? ” asked Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ That would be the very morning after the affair of the yacht? ” he asked of me.
hvd.32044086882636	“ That ’s a fact, Portlethorpe. ” “ Then what follows? ” asked Mr. Portlethorpe.
hvd.32044086882636	“ The fact is, you suspicion him? ” “ I suspicion a good deal, maybe, ” he admitted.
hvd.32044086882636	“ The man ’s name? ” “ It was given to me, in Jermyn Street that morn- ing, as Meekin — Dr.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Then he ’s paid out — in the way you state — what? ” demanded Mr. Portlethorpe.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Then what harm can I do you, Mr. Hollins? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Then, according to what you tell me, she left Hathercleugh soon after you telephoned to her? ” said Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ There are other things than a salmon gaff that, in your opinion, could have caused it? ” “ Oh, of course! ” said the doctor.
hvd.32044086882636	“ There was no one else with you in the room when this man Gilverthwaite gave you his orders? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ There'll be places — villages and the like — all along, I expect? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ There's more mystery, do you see?
hvd.32044086882636	“ They ’re liv- ing? ” “ No, ” replied Smeaton.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Was it only lately? ” “ It was since that other bloody murder, your hon- our, ” said Nance Maguire.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Well, my lad, ” he said; “ a bit dazed by your new opening?
hvd.32044086882636	“ What I ’m thinking of- could I give satisfaction? ” He laughed at that, as if my answer amused him.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What are you doing here, and what does all this mean?
hvd.32044086882636	“ What are you going to do now? ” I asked of Chis- holm, who had followed me.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What did she Want? ” “ You! ” retorted my mother.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What do you know of the movements of this man Gilverthwaite while he was lodging with your mother? ’ ’ he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What do you make of this, Hugh? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What do you think, now, asking me a question like yon| What should I know? ” “ How should I know that? ” said he.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What do you think, now, asking me a question like yon| What should I know? ” “ How should I know that? ” said he.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What else?
hvd.32044086882636	“ What have you got to say to me? ” The prisoner gave Chisholm a disapproving look.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What have you got to say to that? ” “ What I say is that I ’m a damned fool! ” answered Carter surlily.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What is it?
hvd.32044086882636	“ What might your name be, now? ” “ I believe this man that ’s talked about in the news- papers is my brother, sir, ” answered the woman.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What riddle's all this? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What should I be follow- ing up, man?
hvd.32044086882636	“ What should I know? ” answered Robertson, a bit surlily.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What would you think yourself, Mr. Smeaton? ” I replied.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What ’s happened within your own prov- ince — officially, I mean? ” “ Not much, ” answered Murray.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What's the reason of fetching us all this way when you ’re alive and well? ” I looked at Mr. Lindsey — knowingly, I suppose.
hvd.32044086882636	“ What's your own opinion? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Whatever are we going to hear now? ” whispered Mr. Lindsey in my ear.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Where are you going? ” “ Dundee, ” he replied.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Where he was found? ” said he.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Where is Hollins? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Where, now, if it's a fair question? ” “ New Orleans — near enough, anyway, to those parts, ” he answered.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Where, sir? ” “ Panama! ” he exclaimed, with a jerk of his head.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Who are you?—and what do you want to say? ” “ Name of John Carter, ” replied the man.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Why have n't you told, yourself? ” “ Aye! ” he said.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Will you taste? ” he asked, leering at me.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You Were with him? ” “ Man alive, I ’ve no more idea than you have l ’ ’ I exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You did n’t mention it to a soul? ” he asked searchingly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You do n’t know anything yourself, my lad? ” he went on, staring at me still harder.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You found a pretty considerable sum on Phillips as it was when you searched his body, did n’t you? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You know it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You know that bit of a public there is along the river yonder, outside the wall — the Cod and Lobster?
hvd.32044086882636	“ You know where that old — what do they call it? — chapel, cell, something of that nature, is? ’ ’ he asked again.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You know where that old — what do they call it? — chapel, cell, something of that nature, is? ’ ’ he asked again.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You made a very exhaustive search of the neigh- bourhood of the spot where Crone's body was found, did n’t you? ” he inquired.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You mean, Mr. Lindsey, that she's somehow got into the hands of what?—who? ” I asked him.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You saw nobody about close by — nor in the neigh- bourhood — no strangers on the road? ” I was ready for that question.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You say you ’ve drawn a deduction? ’’ ‘ ‘ I make this out, sir, ” answered the butler, quietly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You see yon gentleman? ” he whispered.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You were saying this man was suspected of poaching? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’ll be thinking now, of course, that it was he murdered both Phillips and Crone — eh? ” “ Aye, I do think that! ” said I.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’ll know yon Abel Crone, the marine- store dealer?
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’ll promise me, Hugh, before ever I go, that 292 DEAD MEN'S MONEY you ’ll not run yourself into any more dangers? ” she asked earnestly.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’re in no danger? ” But just then Chisholm called up the stair of the turret, asking was Miss Dunlop safe, and I bade Maisie speak to him.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’re not by yourself, Hugh? ” she asked anx- iously.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’re sure of that? ” inquired Mr. Lindsey, eye- ing the things that had been thrown aside.
hvd.32044086882636	“ You ’ve some object? ” “ It ’s like this, ” answered Mr. Lindsey.
hvd.32044086882636	“ Your father hailed from Berwick, or thereabouts?
hvd.32044086882636	“ Your name would be Gilver- thwaite, then, before you were married? ” “ To be sure, sir — same as James's, ” she replied.
hvd.hn1ep2	Am I too late? ” “ Why did you never write? ” “ Because you forbade it. ” “ Oh! hvd.hn1ep2 Am I too late? ” “ Why did you never write? ” “ Because you forbade it. ” “ Oh!

hvd.hn1ep2	Are you the cook my niece was so fond of when she lived with Mrs. Hunter? ” he asked. hvd.hn1ep2 Did you inquire for Mr. Ferrers? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	Have you found Monsieur Varasdin too? ” said Sheringham. hvd.hn1ep2 I call her a very agreeable woman, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1ep2	I want your daughter to go with me. ” “ Go — with — you? hvd.hn1ep2 In what way? ” said Amabel.

hvd.hn1ep2	Am I to sign it?
hvd.hn1ep2	Amabel?
hvd.hn1ep2	And how are you going to pay your expenses at Blackpool? ” “ Oh, do n't poke and pry into my affairs! ” said Aggy impatiently.
hvd.hn1ep2	And pray what have you brought me of late to buy dinner with? ”.
hvd.hn1ep2	And what did father say?
hvd.hn1ep2	And where's the sense of a board on trestles, instead of a properly made table?
hvd.hn1ep2	And why has she been in a hospital?
hvd.hn1ep2	Any marks on your clothes? ” The man dived into his pockets and pulled out a silver cigarette- case, a handkerchief, and various cards and letters.
hvd.hn1ep2	Anything can happen with telegrams, ” said the cook, “ else what'd the halfpenny papers do?
hvd.hn1ep2	Are there no byways in Paris, you fool?

hvd.hn1ep2	I like him. ” “ How can any one like him?"
hvd.hn1ep2	I should not have expected you to consider Miss Ferrers — if you believe your own story. ” “ Can you think of a more likely one? ” said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	I suppose I must stay one more night. ” “ Must you? ” said Mr. Newby doubtfully.
hvd.hn1ep2	I suppose that's a ques- tion I may ask you? ” “ I have n't got them, ” said Amabel, and her uncle saw that he had agitated and distressed her.
hvd.hn1ep2	I suppose you do n't mind smoke, Miss Mort- lake?
hvd.hn1ep2	I took them. ” “ Was there a scene?
hvd.hn1ep2	I wish I understood French better and could follow everything she says! ” “ Oh, is that it?"
hvd.hn1ep2	I wonder when he will start for India?
hvd.hn1ep2	If it had n't been for his agreement — Well, Mr. Dawkins?
hvd.hn1ep2	If the Eugenia behaves as I expect she will, I shall have more money than I want soon. ”"Is she — are you — is the Eugenia my aunt?
hvd.hn1ep2	If you please, mềm, can I go out for half- an- hour?
hvd.hn1ep2	Is he your uncle?
hvd.hn1ep2	Is it likely?
hvd.hn1ep2	Is it not plain?
hvd.hn1ep2	Is it true that she left the restaurant with Varasdin? ” THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS 167 “ He was to see her to the hotel.
hvd.hn1ep2	Is it windy to- night?
hvd.hn1ep2	Is n't the purse torn? ” Madame Varasdin just undid the clasp and snapped it to again.
hvd.hn1ep2	Is n’t he on the Stock Exchange, George? ” “ I believe you, ” said George.
hvd.hn1ep2	Is that plain enough, fool? ” The man shuffled uncomfortably in his chair.
hvd.hn1ep2	Is the whole thing a swindle, or am I a fool? ” “ Since you ask me — you are probably a fool, ” said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	Is there no river?
hvd.hn1ep2	Is this his study?
hvd.hn1ep2	It does n't happen, you say?
hvd.hn1ep2	It is all very well; but if I had married Mr. Simpson, what would have become of Peter?
hvd.hn1ep2	It is two o'clock, and I have a long day before me. ” “ What have you to do? ”.
hvd.hn1ep2	Laying the plans to- night?
hvd.hn1ep2	MR. E. What is the matter with you this afternoon, Cynthia?
hvd.hn1ep2	Miss M. But have you no high ideals?
hvd.hn1ep2	Miss M. But how can your father write if you make such a noise?
hvd.hn1ep2	Mr. E. Does Mabel see it in that light?
hvd.hn1ep2	Mr. E. Well, Cynthia?
hvd.hn1ep2	Mr. Newby, will you dine with us to- morrow at half- past seven? ” “ With pleasure, ” said Mr. Newby.
hvd.hn1ep2	Not the one you interviewed yester- day? ” “ That was his cousin, who is a great inventive ANNE AND THE ANARCHIST 215 genius, they say.
hvd.hn1ep2	Now, what do you mean with your talk about banging markets?"
hvd.hn1ep2	Of course we have wired to the new manager, but we have had no answer. ” “ Who is Mexican Jem? ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	Of course, directly the accident happened a crowd gathered. ” “ But what had become of Monsieur Varasdin? ” said Sheringham.
hvd.hn1ep2	One franc, twenty?
hvd.hn1ep2	Other- wise why should I be standing close to the open window?
hvd.hn1ep2	Perhaps you think I do n't look old enough? ” I have great self- control, and I consider that I showed it on that occasion.
hvd.hn1ep2	Rose, you little minx, what have you been saying to her?
hvd.hn1ep2	Shall I sneak you up a cup from the kitchen, Miss? ” “ Yes — no — I ca n't wait, ” said Amabel, and she ran downstairs.
hvd.hn1ep2	Shall we go into the drawing- room?
hvd.hn1ep2	Shall we leave to- night, Jack?
hvd.hn1ep2	She must recognise that she has failed. ” “ I suppose it is not you who were dreaming?"
hvd.hn1ep2	She pretended not to know where you were. ” “ Did you ask her? ” “ Of course I did. ” “ That would have made her angry."
hvd.hn1ep2	She was not here to receive or answer THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS 163 “ And how is Monsieur Varasdin? ” said Shering- ham.
hvd.hn1ep2	So I sat down at a café — ” “ How far off? ” “ Beyond the end of the street.
hvd.hn1ep2	So are his lungs, because he es- caped in winter, and nearly died of exposure. ” “ But, my dear, how does he earn his living?
hvd.hn1ep2	So she said she would sleep at the Ritz, and I engaged a room for her. ” “ You believed her story?
hvd.hn1ep2	Suppose he absconded with the shares and she never saw him again?
hvd.hn1ep2	THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS 201 “ How can you have a wedding without a wedding gown? ” “ And a wedding cake,"said Mrs. Pugsley.
hvd.hn1ep2	THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS 53 “ What do you think M. Rosenmeyer has just told me? ” she said.
hvd.hn1ep2	THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS “ With you? ” repeated Amabel, a good deal sur- prised and puzzled.
hvd.hn1ep2	That strike had much effect yet? ” “ Sent them up to three already, ” said Mr. Sher- ingham.
hvd.hn1ep2	The thousand Eugenias. ” “ Are you mad?
hvd.hn1ep2	Then you wanted me to come back?
hvd.hn1ep2	They departed together. ” “ Do you want to insinuate that they are together now? ” “ You have not known Hyacinth for fifteen years,"said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	They have had my last franc- I'm cleaned out. ” “ Well, ” said Anastasie, “ what do you mean to do? ” “ What is there to do?
hvd.hn1ep2	They have had my last franc- I'm cleaned out. ” “ Well, ” said Anastasie, “ what do you mean to do? ” “ What is there to do?
hvd.hn1ep2	To Russia?"
hvd.hn1ep2	Varasdin, can you tell my niece of a comfortable pension?
hvd.hn1ep2	Varasdin; “ pearls would be the making of it. ” “ How much is the gown going to cost?
hvd.hn1ep2	Varasdin? ” “ I take no interest in them.
hvd.hn1ep2	Was it here that Maud Wyvern lived and died?
hvd.hn1ep2	We are close to the Bois. ” “ But surely I should be in your way? ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	We do not visit with Ashfield people, but we hear a good deal about them. ” “ Indeed! ” “ Need I say more?
hvd.hn1ep2	Well, Rose?
hvd.hn1ep2	Well? ”"I felt dreadfully upset.
hvd.hn1ep2	What a dif- ference it will make to Aunt Thomasina! ” “ Are you related to Lady Sandway? ” asked Mr. Simpson.
hvd.hn1ep2	What are Eugenias doing to- day, Sheringham?
hvd.hn1ep2	What are your intentions with regard to her?
hvd.hn1ep2	What business has that woman to sing such songs when you are under her roof?
hvd.hn1ep2	What can a man do without money?
hvd.hn1ep2	What did Varasdin die of?
hvd.hn1ep2	What do you know about markets?
hvd.hn1ep2	What do you suppose her uncle will say and her English friends?
hvd.hn1ep2	What do you want? ” said Madame Varasdin, as they sat at lunch together.
hvd.hn1ep2	What does suspicion matter so long as proof is impossible?
hvd.hn1ep2	What has that to do with it?
hvd.hn1ep2	What is Monsieur Varas- din?
hvd.hn1ep2	What is Mr. Sheringham?
hvd.hn1ep2	What is the use of health or beauty or brains except as a means to money?
hvd.hn1ep2	What lies before you unless you get hold of these Eugenias?
hvd.hn1ep2	What right have you to interfere?
hvd.hn1ep2	What shall I do?
hvd.hn1ep2	What should I gain by it?
hvd.hn1ep2	What should she do if he came back having attempted nothing?
hvd.hn1ep2	What would she do?
hvd.hn1ep2	What'll we do? ” “ We want Miss Ferrers,"said the cook again, and again the porter signed to her to enter the hotel.
hvd.hn1ep2	What's it mean?
hvd.hn1ep2	What's the difference between them? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1ep2	Where am I? ” “ You came into my room and stole my purse,"said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	Where did you get the money?"
hvd.hn1ep2	Where does he sit?
hvd.hn1ep2	Where does he write?
hvd.hn1ep2	Where have you been all this time? ” “ I really do n't know where I have been, ” said Mrs. Crewe; “ all over London, I think.
hvd.hn1ep2	Where have you lived?
hvd.hn1ep2	Which is it to be?
hvd.hn1ep2	Which kind of dog are you, my friend? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1ep2	Who forces you to go? ” He shook his head mournfully, and walked towards the head of the stairs.
hvd.hn1ep2	Who wants to see a Cupid sitting on cabbages every day of his life?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why ca n't people write a plain letter?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why ca n't we go on as we are?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why ca n't you keep your temper, as I do?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why did she leave so suddenly? ” “ Why have you come back so suddenly?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why did she leave so suddenly? ” “ Why have you come back so suddenly?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why did you come back, Jack?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why do n't you come back too? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1ep2	Why do you shrug your shoulders at one and go on your knees to the other?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why not talk to him about it? ”"I meant to talk to him about it, ” said Amabel, with a quaver in her voice that she tried hard to control.
hvd.hn1ep2	Why should I desire any change?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why should she not recall that lost art and give lessons in it to the young ladies of Blackport?
hvd.hn1ep2	Why? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1ep2	Will you be good enough to go now?
hvd.hn1ep2	Will you be in the Avenue des Acacias at four o'clock? ”"I will if you can promise to be punctual, ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	Will you go on to Vienna, or will you break your journey here? ” She threw the paper on the floor at his feet, and he stooped and picked it up.
hvd.hn1ep2	Will you pay for your own gambles, then, madame?
hvd.hn1ep2	Will you set up a new idol for her, then?
hvd.hn1ep2	Would she say she could keep herself out of 228 ANNE AND THE ANARCHIST danger, and him, too?
hvd.hn1ep2	Would she say the danger was visionary, and Mr. Zagadin's need of her real?
hvd.hn1ep2	Yes... if... what then?
hvd.hn1ep2	You ca n't be a moment in Mr. Berenger's company without talking of something that ennobles the soul, can you?
hvd.hn1ep2	You do take sugar?
hvd.hn1ep2	You have driven me into a crime — do you think I love the sight of your face when I remember the girl's?
hvd.hn1ep2	You have no money?
hvd.hn1ep2	You will console yourself by reflecting that I can sell the pearls. ” “ I wonder why you are coming with me to the station?"
hvd.hn1ep2	ca n't he?
hvd.hn1ep2	did n't my brother make money?
hvd.hn1ep2	did n't you hear what she said to me?
hvd.hn1ep2	did you have a row?
hvd.hn1ep2	do you believe that of anybody? ” said M. Rosenmeyer, who understood the English idiom.
hvd.hn1ep2	do you mean Mrs. Pugsley? ” “ I dare say I do, ” said Sheringhiam.
hvd.hn1ep2	have n't you seen Miss Ferrers?
hvd.hn1ep2	have you?
hvd.hn1ep2	or is it a lie?
hvd.hn1ep2	or was the bad news a lie?
hvd.hn1ep2	suppose he brought them back and refused her a share in them?
hvd.hn1ep2	what should she do if he had tried and failed?
hvd.hn1ep2	which is it to be?
hvd.hn1ep2	why should I? ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	you've almost seen the last of her. ” “ I suppose she means to return here to- night? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Am I too late, Monica?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ And what'll I say if she rings? ” said the boy, in injured accents.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are n't the Varasdins coming? ” said he.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are the servants about?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are there no French people in Paris? ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are there no gowns and cakes in Paris? ” said Sheringham.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you Lord Polruan now, then?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you going to keep it all? ” she asked;"all the money as well as the shares? ”"I shall want it if the police are after me.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you going to keep it all? ” she asked;"all the money as well as the shares? ”"I shall want it if the police are after me.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you going to stay in England? ” I ex- claimed.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you having much fun?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you safe here even for an hour? ” said his wife.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you sure you did n't provoke him, darling? ” she said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Are you the'childish entanglement'? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But I hate opening any one else's purse, do n't you?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But how about your other engagement? ” “ Six o'clock will do for that, ” said Madame Varas- din.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But how did you get them out of her? ”"I charged her with the murder of her husband. ” “ Why is your arm in a sling? ” asked Mr. Ferrers.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But how did you get them out of her? ”"I charged her with the murder of her husband. ” “ Why is your arm in a sling? ” asked Mr. Ferrers.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But if he is English, how is it these foreigners know him?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But what did she say?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ But where is the ring? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Buying nuts for the monkeys, Madame Varasdin? ” said he, and wondered why the lady started violently and afterwards neither spoke nor moved.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Ca n't you find out what has happened? ” said Madame Varasdin.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Ca n't you wire? ”"Did she tell you where she meant to stay in Lon- don? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Ca n't you wire? ”"Did she tell you where she meant to stay in Lon- don? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Can you tell me why Miss Ferrers left Paris in such a hurry? ” said Sheringham, when they were by themselves again.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Did she shrivel up? ” “ Not perceptibly.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Did you feel so sure of me? ” said Amabel rather wistfully.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Did you tell him the Garde de l'Est?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do n't you know a Rajah who wants a secretary and treasurer?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do n't you see I'm engaged?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do they expect you?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you know of any cheap, respect- able room?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you know of one? ” “ How would you like to come and stay with us? ” said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you know of one? ” “ How would you like to come and stay with us? ” said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you know where my niece is, then? ” said the gentleman, looking very much surprised.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you mean that tall, fair man?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you mean that you want to jilt me?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you never think of providing for your old age?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you remember our first meeting? ” said Mr. Sheringham."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you say that young man told you he was a released convict? ” he asked; and Mrs. Spettigue did not like his tone at all."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you spend all you make?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you think Mrs. Hunter wants me at once, George? ” “ She looked as if she did, ” said the boy.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you think if she was in London she would have let you know? ” asked Sheringham.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Do you want me to take your niece to see the Tomb of Napoleon?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Does he often do that? ” said Amabel, puzzled by the lady's tranquil manner.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Does it affect you? ” said Amabel, watching him.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Going to make your fortune to- morrow?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Hark at the motor cars,"said Ginger, at her elbow; “ do you suppose there's a race on?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Has she gone to the Morgue by herself? ” “ I heard some one go softly into the hall, ” said the maid.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Has she taken offence? ” said Mr. Newby.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Has that been your description of me, Monica?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Has the Bishop arrived?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Have n't you come here with that English booby at your heels?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Have you a warm wrap for the journey? ”.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Have you any idea of Paris prices?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Have you anything on to- morrow? ” “ Nothing at all. ” “ Then wait for my telegram.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Have you forgotten me, Monica?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Have you observed that madame looks ill and anxious?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ He stopped me and said,'Would I please wait a minute and speak to the cook?'
hvd.hn1ep2	“ He was afraid of them. ” “ What sort of people are the Varasdins? ” “ He is a financier, whatever that may mean, ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ How did it happen?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ How will you set about it?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ I am quite satisfied, and I believe she is. ” “ How can you be satisfied when millions of your fellow- creatures are miserable slaves?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ I ca n't believe in that telegram. ”"It's a chance,"said the cook, “ and if you do n't take a chance in this world, where are you?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ I ca n't walk, ” he moaned;"what shall I do? ”.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ I could cut my throat when I think of it. ” “ What will five thousand shares be worth in a week's time? ”"Do n't ask me.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ I did not receive it. ” “ I suppose Mr. Sheringham left some message? ”"Oh!
hvd.hn1ep2	“ I'm afraid of a gamble, and I do n't mind who knows it. ” “ What will happen to my Eugenias if they drop THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS 41 like sticks?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ In a hospital?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is M. Varasdin a fool? ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is Ma- dame Varasdin like cognac and baccarat?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is Monsieur ill?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is he very rich?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is it too long? ” he asked hastily.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is she better? ” “ She did n't say she had been ill. ” “ I have n't seen her since the night before last, when we dined together.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Is that what you want me to tell Anne? ”.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ It's too much of a gamble. ” “ Have you any? ” said his wife.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ May I see? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Mexican Jem is coming here to- night. ” “ How have the Gregorios managed that? ” said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Now what do you want, Ginger?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Oh! ” whimpered Aggy, “ ca n't you go? ” “ Of course not. ” “ I wish I had never told you.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Sarah was down in the wash- house at the time. ” “ But where were you? ” “ Paying calls."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Shall I come with you? ” she said absently.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Shall I take a bag with what I want?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ She knows her way about Paris? ” “ She knows how to get from here to the Louvre in a cab or a tram.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ She was knocked down by a motor car and killed on the spot. ” “ How do you know she was killed?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ So I was given to understand, when I made in- quiries after lunch. ” “ Did she say I was horrid?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Suppose you held Eugenias? ” The man put his hands to his temples with a gesture of despair.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ The cook went yesterday, I sent off Adèle to- day. ” “ What for? ” “ So that we should be by ourselves — with Miss Ferrers.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Then how can I wire?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Then how would you catch your criminals?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Then it's all right? ” he said, offering to shake hands.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ They are in her purse. ” “ How can I get hold of her purse? ”.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What about a wedding journey there? ” “ Shall we? ” said I to Peter, with an appealing glance.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What about a wedding journey there? ” “ Shall we? ” said I to Peter, with an appealing glance.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What are you going to do now, Mademoiselle? ” said M. Varasdin.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What are you hatching, Varasdin? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What became of him?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What do you expect me to do? ” said Anastasie.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What do you mean? ” said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What do you want of me? ” “ To begin with, I want to see your hands."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What does this news mean exactly? ” she said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What does'pinched out'mean? ” “ No gold.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What happened to her? ” “ A motor car knocked her down somewhere in Montmartre.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What has happened to you? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What has happened? ” said Amabel.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What has happened? ” said Madame Varasdin.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What has happened? ” “ I have succeeded where you failed, ” said he.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What have you done with your ring?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What is he, my dear? ” she asked, as her daugh- ter and she sat over the fire awaiting their guest.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What is it? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What is it? ” said Amabel, taking the paper from her uncle."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What is the matter now? ” she inquired.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What shall we do next?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What sort of things? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What time do you start to- morrow?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What will happen if she lives? ” he said, in a whisper.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What will they be worth if you get them?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What will you give me, Hyancinth?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What's it mean? ” said the cook.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What's the good of making a bother about it?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What's wrong with him? ” asked Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ What? ” she cried.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where are the others?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where are they?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where are we dining, do you say? ” “ At that restaurant Newby has just discovered, right away towards Montmartre."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where did you get your purse? ” he said, with his eyes on the bead- bag.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where did you last see Miss Ferrers? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where did you live before? ” said Amabel, and as the question passed her lips she knew she would have done better not to ask it.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where do you think I should get the money now?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where is he? ” “ He is dead.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Where is she? ”"At the Laborisière.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Who speaks of marriage? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Who would if I did not, pray? ” Mrs. Simpson's friends were under the impression that she suffered a good deal from her sister's quick temper.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Who writes?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why are you putting on your hat? ” said Florrie, the elder of two children who slept in the room.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why are you to leave the house to- morrow?"
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why do you stay in here by yourself? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why have they taken no trunks? ” said the wife of the concierge.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why have you done nothing? ” “ Because I know my husband,"said Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why should I trust you? ” she said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Why was she alone? ” 176 THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS “ Poor Varasdin,"said Mr. Newby.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You are quite certain about it? ” “ Yes, ” said Amabel; and her tone carried convic- tion.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You are sure of that? ” THE THOUSAND EUGENIAS 123 Mme.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You are sure you understand? ” he said.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You come from Ashfield in- shire? ” “ I do."
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You hold Eugenias, do n't you — a thousand Eugenias?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You said you wanted to see all the animals. ” “ How is it you have time?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You were bang- ing the market. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1ep2	“ You'd rather live in England than India? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1ep2	“ Your Eugenias? ” said Mr. Newby.
hvd.hn1ep2	” “ As I set about other things — when I see some hope of success. ” “ Why ca n't you go into her room and take them?

hvd.hn1tcw	And is that all?
hvd.hn1tcw	And it's still in this room?
hvd.hn1tcw	And just what is it, please?
hvd.hn1tcw	And now what?
hvd.hn1tcw	And of course you understand your risk, now, here, from this moment on?
hvd.hn1tcw	And that is —?
hvd.hn1tcw	And then what?
hvd.hn1tcw	And then what?
hvd.hn1tcw	And then what?
hvd.hn1tcw	And then —?
hvd.hn1tcw	And this is the wire you have tapped?
hvd.hn1tcw	And what did you do for it?
hvd.hn1tcw	And what good would all that do you?
hvd.hn1tcw	And what have you been doin'to them?
hvd.hn1tcw	And what is love?
hvd.hn1tcw	And who's Robinson? hvd.hn1tcw And will be still further delayed, I suppose?"
hvd.hn1tcw	And you have some plan for doing it?
hvd.hn1tcw	And you know him as? hvd.hn1tcw And you took pity on him?"
hvd.hn1tcw	And you've put your money on this Duke of Kendall?
hvd.hn1tcw	Are you in pain, miss?
hvd.hn1tcw	But I s'pose you notice that he did n't appear against you?
hvd.hn1tcw	But can he, one solitary man, do all this — I mean do it unmistakably, inevitably?
hvd.hn1tcw	But can you get anywhere near that voice?
hvd.hn1tcw	But doing what?
hvd.hn1tcw	But has n't anything happened since I saw you?
hvd.hn1tcw	But how am I to know you're going to stick to your bargain?
hvd.hn1tcw	But how did this campaign end?
hvd.hn1tcw	But how?
hvd.hn1tcw	But is this door the only way in?
hvd.hn1tcw	But the others — the servants — wo n't they know me?
hvd.hn1tcw	But what have you and I to do with all this?
hvd.hn1tcw	But what the devil did you come here for?
hvd.hn1tcw	But what use?
hvd.hn1tcw	But what's all this geography for?
hvd.hn1tcw	But where's all the money, in this cinch?
hvd.hn1tcw	But who is Lalique?
hvd.hn1tcw	But who made the charge — who laid the com- plaint, I mean?
hvd.hn1tcw	But why cry over spilt milk?
hvd.hn1tcw	But why did you ever write that first letter?
hvd.hn1tcw	But why should it be the last?
hvd.hn1tcw	But why should n't we?
hvd.hn1tcw	But why?
hvd.hn1tcw	But would it satisfy us? hvd.hn1tcw But, how dare you?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Ca n't you tell me?
hvd.hn1tcw	Could n't I sand- bag her in the morning, on her way down town?
hvd.hn1tcw	Could n't I? hvd.hn1tcw Did he see you, or does he know you?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Did n't you save my life once, Frank, right in this room? hvd.hn1tcw Did you get a chance to notice their wiring?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Did you notice any of the other wires — power circuits, and that kind of thing?
hvd.hn1tcw	Do you mean that?
hvd.hn1tcw	Do you realize how hard all this is going to be?
hvd.hn1tcw	Do you remember our first days together? hvd.hn1tcw Do you?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Er — before I forget it,he said, absently, his eyes still on his widely strewn apparatus,"have you got everything you want away from here?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Frank, ca n't you — wo n't you marry me, now?
hvd.hn1tcw	Frank, what is this man MacNutt to you?
hvd.hn1tcw	Frank, won't you — wo n't you marry me?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Good, but when — when can we do it?
hvd.hn1tcw	Got a guard to stand over this manhole?
hvd.hn1tcw	Had n't we better hold this over?
hvd.hn1tcw	Had you expected this beforehand?
hvd.hn1tcw	Honestly earned?
hvd.hn1tcw	How am I to be sure you wo n't get your price and then give me the slip?
hvd.hn1tcw	How did you?
hvd.hn1tcw	How in heavens did you ever get mixed up with — with — in this sort of thing?
hvd.hn1tcw	How?
hvd.hn1tcw	I had better start right at the beginning, had n't I?
hvd.hn1tcw	Indeed?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is it here, miss?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is it safe here?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is it too late?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is it you, Adolph?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is it you, doctor?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is n't it enough that I'm near you and can help you, and that we can both still go and come as we want to?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is n't there anything I can do for you?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is that Durkin speaking? hvd.hn1tcw Is there time?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Is this seat taken, sir?
hvd.hn1tcw	It's a woman, is n't it?
hvd.hn1tcw	Jim,she asked him, unexpectedly,"how much money have you?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Know? hvd.hn1tcw Lightnin'-slinger, eh?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Listen, Frank; how's this?
hvd.hn1tcw	MacNutt?
hvd.hn1tcw	Mack, you would n't shoot me, after — after everything? hvd.hn1tcw Me?
hvd.hn1tcw	Me? hvd.hn1tcw Nor the Postal Union people?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Not Robinson?
hvd.hn1tcw	Now, look here — are you, or are you not, a newspaper woman?
hvd.hn1tcw	Now, who asked you to butt in on this?
hvd.hn1tcw	Of course you did n't get a glimpse of the base- ment, under Ottenheimer's?
hvd.hn1tcw	Oh, what now?
hvd.hn1tcw	Oh, why did n't I know you and love you when I was a young and heart- free girl, singing and laughing about my quiet home? hvd.hn1tcw Only that?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Or some old business friend?
hvd.hn1tcw	Quite so, but how about your Savannah in- formation? hvd.hn1tcw Robinson& Little?
hvd.hn1tcw	Say, Durkin, you did n't think it was just your good looks and your Fifth Avenue talkin'got you off, did you?
hvd.hn1tcw	Smash him?
hvd.hn1tcw	Something happened? hvd.hn1tcw Something worth while?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Still afraid of me, eh?
hvd.hn1tcw	Suppose I count out that race money that's coming to you two?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then MacNutt's been working on this scheme for a long while?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then Penfield has no idea who or what Mac- Nuttis?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then how did you get this card?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then how'd you come to leave the Postal Union?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then we'll have William call a hansom?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then what's the use o'crucifyin'yourself?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then why ca n't we get away from here, some- where, and be happy?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then why ca n't we go to Lydia Van Schaick and ask her to lend us the money?
hvd.hn1tcw	Then why cut him off at all? hvd.hn1tcw Then why wo n't you tell me how you got mixed up in this sort of thing?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Then you had rather that I — I borrowed this money from the Van Schaick house?
hvd.hn1tcw	To get back? hvd.hn1tcw Tonight?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Was n't it rather dangerous work — for you, I mean?
hvd.hn1tcw	Was n't there a bishop in your family?
hvd.hn1tcw	We live and die for it, we see it work its terrible wonders; but who can ever tell us what it is?
hvd.hn1tcw	We live and work and make life tenser with it, and do wonders with it, but, after all, who knows what it is?
hvd.hn1tcw	We really ought to hunt in pairs, do n't you think, like timberwolves?
hvd.hn1tcw	We're going to be decent now, are n't we, Frank?
hvd.hn1tcw	Well, miss, what is it?
hvd.hn1tcw	Well, what of it?
hvd.hn1tcw	Well?
hvd.hn1tcw	What are you doing there?
hvd.hn1tcw	What do you mean by that?
hvd.hn1tcw	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1tcw	What does he want to come into our lives for, now? hvd.hn1tcw What has he ever been to you, then?"
hvd.hn1tcw	What is electricity?
hvd.hn1tcw	What is it?
hvd.hn1tcw	What is it?
hvd.hn1tcw	What is it?
hvd.hn1tcw	What it is?
hvd.hn1tcw	What made the fool say that?
hvd.hn1tcw	What plunge, Jim?
hvd.hn1tcw	What right have you to break in here?
hvd.hn1tcw	What same old thing?
hvd.hn1tcw	What was it about?
hvd.hn1tcw	What was that?
hvd.hn1tcw	What were you wanting?
hvd.hn1tcw	What will you have, gentlemen?
hvd.hn1tcw	What would the Grenoble people say?
hvd.hn1tcw	What'll you have, Durkin?
hvd.hn1tcw	What's all this, anyway?
hvd.hn1tcw	What's he to us?
hvd.hn1tcw	What's this for, boys, anyhow?
hvd.hn1tcw	What's to stop me going to one of Doogan's men and squealing on the whole gang of you?
hvd.hn1tcw	What's you got?
hvd.hn1tcw	When?
hvd.hn1tcw	When?
hvd.hn1tcw	Where are you?
hvd.hn1tcw	Where — write?
hvd.hn1tcw	Where'd you work, before you went to the Pos- tal Union?
hvd.hn1tcw	Where? hvd.hn1tcw Which way do I go to the kitchen?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Who are you, anyway?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who are you, anyway?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who has been up here with you?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who is here?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who is the other man?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who the devil was it, then?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who was in this room with you?
hvd.hn1tcw	Who was it said that the Saints were only the sinners who kept oa trying?
hvd.hn1tcw	Why do n't you break away from it, at once?
hvd.hn1tcw	Why should n't we?
hvd.hn1tcw	Why'd you do it?
hvd.hn1tcw	Why?
hvd.hn1tcw	Will you let me hold over this Singford stone, for a few weeks?
hvd.hn1tcw	Wo n't you want anything fetched, later?
hvd.hn1tcw	Would Durkin want me, after that? hvd.hn1tcw Would we —?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Would you risk it, with me?
hvd.hn1tcw	Yes, here we are — but if there's so many millions in this apparatus for you, what's the use o'hollerin'it out to all Sixth Avenue? hvd.hn1tcw Yes; what is it, Mack?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Yes; what's this you were going to open my eyes with?
hvd.hn1tcw	Yes?
hvd.hn1tcw	You back down — now?
hvd.hn1tcw	You mean I've — I've got to steal it?
hvd.hn1tcw	You mean it came out all right?
hvd.hn1tcw	You mean that, Frank?
hvd.hn1tcw	You mean, of course —?
hvd.hn1tcw	You say it's a Brandon& Stark eight- ton vault; but ca n't you give me something more definite than that to work on?
hvd.hn1tcw	You say that?
hvd.hn1tcw	You would n't shoot me, Mack?
hvd.hn1tcw	You're certain of it?
hvd.hn1tcw	You're — you're not MacNutt's wife?
hvd.hn1tcw	You've done a good deal of business over the wires, Durkin, in your day, have n't you? hvd.hn1tcw —"You do n't mean Doogan's men?"
hvd.hn1tcw	'35 THE WIRE TAPPERS"And then what?"

hvd.hn1tcw	Any- thing new?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Are you listen- ing?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But ca n't you see it's too late now, to quibble and vacillate?
hvd.hn1tcw	But comin'down to earth again, how're you goin'to get your funds to put all this pipe- dream through?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But how are we to find out what the Duke of Kendall and his mere running means?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But now, could she face the unspoken deceit, the daily attrition of it, month after month and year after year?
hvd.hn1tcw	But tell me, has there ever been another?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But tell me, quickly, has anything gone wrong over here?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But the allusion was lost on Durkin, and he cut in with a curt,"What's happened?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But what have you done, Jim?"
hvd.hn1tcw	But while I think of it, providing we do find the stone there, do we turn it over again, or —?"

hvd.hn1tcw	Ca n't you see that I'm getting nothing more out of it than you?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Ca n't you see that?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Can you catch his voice distinctly?
hvd.hn1tcw	Can you get it down, Frank?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Did you get that?
hvd.hn1tcw	Did you recognize my voice there?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Do you feel any difference?"

hvd.hn1tcw	First thing, though, how'd you ever come to get pinched by Doogan?
hvd.hn1tcw	Have you had any furniture moved in?"
hvd.hn1tcw	He lighted a Carolina Perfecto, and inhaled it slowly and deliberately, demanding 239 THE WIRE TAPPERS"Did he speak to you?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Hold on, there — what's this?"
hvd.hn1tcw	I love you, Frank; is n't that enough?"
hvd.hn1tcw	I won- der if you would like England?
hvd.hn1tcw	I wonder if you would like England?"
hvd.hn1tcw	I've got to burrow and work through it in some way, have n't I?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is he still talking?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Is that Durkin?
hvd.hn1tcw	Is that you, Frank?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Is that you, Phipps?"
hvd.hn1tcw	It has slipped your memory, you see?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Life without some fear — what is it?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Look here, — straight off the bat, d'you want to get a cinch on a good job?"
hvd.hn1tcw	New friends of yours?"

hvd.hn1tcw	She made a movement as though to drop the receiver, and leave her presence unbe- trayed; but the other had already heard her mellow"Hello?"
hvd.hn1tcw	She made it her business to deceive and dupe others, so artfully, so studiously, so laboriously — why would she not use her tools on him as well?
hvd.hn1tcw	That's saying nothing of the out- of- town wires, and the long distance service, — did you get all that?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Then when did we lose it?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Then you will smuggle it in for me?'
hvd.hn1tcw	There was a little silence; then,"Is that all?"

hvd.hn1tcw	Was it not only their game, this life they had drifted into?
hvd.hn1tcw	Was she, indeed, so open and candid as he had taken her to be?
hvd.hn1tcw	We ca n't change it all in a day, can we — especially when there is so much behind?"
hvd.hn1tcw	Well, do you notice what kind of voice it is — its timbre, I mean?
hvd.hn1tcw	What do you mean by that, anyway?"
hvd.hn1tcw	What is it?"

hvd.hn1tcw	Who had the right to stand between them?

hvd.hn1tcw	Yet after all, he wondered, as he held her there, were they so irretrievably bad?
hvd.hn1tcw	You know what they're doing to us boys, nowadays, for neglect of duty?
hvd.hn1tcw	You remember my house?'
hvd.hn1tcw	You think you'll cheat me out of that, do you?

hvd.hn1tcw	— who accused me of 88 THE WIRE TAPPERS — of having designs on her husband?
hvd.hn1j99	A note?
hvd.hn1j99	A reporter?
hvd.hn1j99	A tray of ashes?
hvd.hn1j99	All?
hvd.hn1j99	Also, will you have my card sent to the family?
hvd.hn1j99	Am I to infer then that you will return a ver- dict of — natural death?
hvd.hn1j99	Am I to understand that you are throwing up the case?
hvd.hn1j99	And how did you know I was coming at all? hvd.hn1j99 And how in tarnation was Mr. Marsh killed?"
hvd.hn1j99	And how is your Royal Highness enjoying the evening?
hvd.hn1j99	And inherits his property?
hvd.hn1j99	And now, Martha, will you kindly extinguish the other lights?
hvd.hn1j99	And pray, gentlemen,he said mock- ingly, nodding toward Weston with a grin of exul- tation,"what person do these interesting initials fit?"
hvd.hn1j99	And she has given you absolution? hvd.hn1j99 And the attempts on Mr. Marsh's life to which it refers?"
hvd.hn1j99	And the fan is hidden in this room?
hvd.hn1j99	And was not enthusiastic on the subject?
hvd.hn1j99	And we will find Ariel Burton at the address on the fan?
hvd.hn1j99	And what about the inquest, Miss Mack?
hvd.hn1j99	And what has the door to do with it all?
hvd.hn1j99	And what is the other feature that appeals to your dissecting mind?
hvd.hn1j99	And what was the quarrel that the servant girl, Anna, heard in the Duffield library?
hvd.hn1j99	And when do you expect Inspector Taylor of headquarters?
hvd.hn1j99	And who was this interesting individual?
hvd.hn1j99	And you?
hvd.hn1j99	Are we to believe this murder, then?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you a detective?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you a student of Elizabethan literature, Sheriff?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you absolutely sure? hvd.hn1j99 Are you expecting to find gold pieces concealed in the furniture, gentlemen?"
hvd.hn1j99	Are you familiar with the Fourth Dimension, Sheriff?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you going to explain?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you quite sure of that fact, Senator?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you satisfied, Miss Mack?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you?
hvd.hn1j99	Are your fingers made of wood, man? hvd.hn1j99 At least, who is Orlando Julio?"
hvd.hn1j99	Been asleep?
hvd.hn1j99	Before I unwrap this, have I your permission to explain its contents?
hvd.hn1j99	Begging your pardon, Miss Mack, have — have you found any clues in the case?
hvd.hn1j99	Brain? hvd.hn1j99 Brandy?"
hvd.hn1j99	Burglars?
hvd.hn1j99	But do you realize that, once a hint of its nature is known, it will be almost worthless to me?
hvd.hn1j99	But surely there was some cry, some sound of a scuffle?
hvd.hn1j99	But was she?
hvd.hn1j99	But what has that to do with a case of this kind?
hvd.hn1j99	But, Messieur, where ees she? hvd.hn1j99 But, if she wants to leave?"
hvd.hn1j99	But, surely, Auntie, there is nothing serious between them?
hvd.hn1j99	By that, you mean I'll give your old play a nice send off in the Bugle, I suppose?
hvd.hn1j99	By the way, Nora, who is the society editor of The Bugle since Miss Williams left?
hvd.hn1j99	Can I help you?
hvd.hn1j99	Can you come, sir?
hvd.hn1j99	Can you manage him?
hvd.hn1j99	Clues? hvd.hn1j99 Could I also have the honor of a short inter- view with your daughter?"
hvd.hn1j99	Curious, is n't it, Sheriff, that a man engaged in a life- or- death struggle should cling to a heavy pipe?
hvd.hn1j99	Did Endicott dress at'The Maples'for the cere- mony?
hvd.hn1j99	Did you find anything?
hvd.hn1j99	Dinner?
hvd.hn1j99	Do men shoot themselves without a weapon, Bob?

hvd.hn1j99	Do n't you reckon as how it's about time we were going back to Miss Mack?
hvd.hn1j99	Do n't you think I had better escort you below, Miss Wentworth?
hvd.hn1j99	Do n't you think you are — hasty? hvd.hn1j99 Do they use gas or electricity at'The Maples'?"
hvd.hn1j99	Do you charge then that Miss Burton's disap- pearance is not due to natural causes?
hvd.hn1j99	Do you ever read* Ovid'?
hvd.hn1j99	Do you happen to know whether Ariel Burton was left- handed?
hvd.hn1j99	Do you realize that you are letting Miss Mack take care of herself?
hvd.hn1j99	Do you think I was born yesterday? hvd.hn1j99 Do you think so?"
hvd.hn1j99	Explain what?
hvd.hn1j99	Going far?
hvd.hn1j99	Gwen, I say, do n't you hear the call- bell? hvd.hn1j99 Has Miss Burton an under- study?"
hvd.hn1j99	Has she fainted?
hvd.hn1j99	Have n't I seen that name some- where lately?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you a version of the case to give to The Bugle, Lieutenant?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you any of those letters with you?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you been to con- fessional, Nora?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you ever heard of a man by the name of Orlando Julio, Miss Jansen?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you examined the record in your hand, Senator?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you read the evening dispatches from Boston, Nora?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you?
hvd.hn1j99	Have — have you any explanation of this as- tonishing — forgery?
hvd.hn1j99	Heavens, Bob, ca n't you see it's not — not that?

hvd.hn1j99	Him do it?
hvd.hn1j99	How do I do it?
hvd.hn1j99	How often must I tell you that nothing is trivial — in crime? hvd.hn1j99 How was Ariel Burton spirited from her dressing- room?"
hvd.hn1j99	How was what done?
hvd.hn1j99	How would the quartet from'Rigoletto'strike your mood? hvd.hn1j99 How would you like a long motor ride, Nora?"
hvd.hn1j99	I am quite sure 1"Is it possible that you would not know?
hvd.hn1j99	I asked how the play was appealing to you?
hvd.hn1j99	I fear that my detective ability would hardly be of much service to you, eh, Duffield?
hvd.hn1j99	I had hoped you might be able to add to it?
hvd.hn1j99	I presume then there were articles of more or less value.in the safe?
hvd.hn1j99	I presume this means that you do not care for me to continue the case?
hvd.hn1j99	I presume you have mentioned here everything of importance?
hvd.hn1j99	I say, have you a good picture of yourself at home?
hvd.hn1j99	I think you can guess the next chapter? hvd.hn1j99 I wish to know whether Mr. Endicott ordered a tray of ashes brought up to his room last night?"
hvd.hn1j99	I wonder if Raymond Rennick polished his glasses when he was nervous?
hvd.hn1j99	I wonder if you would allow me to reverse the question?
hvd.hn1j99	If Mr. Marsh was killed as you describe, Miss Mack, who killed him?
hvd.hn1j99	If we are not dealing with natural death, how on earth then was Mr. Marsh killed?
hvd.hn1j99	Indeed?
hvd.hn1j99	Is Miss Noraker standing where Mr. Rennick's body was found, Senator?
hvd.hn1j99	Is everybody here?
hvd.hn1j99	Is it fate, or Providence, or just naturally Devil's luck that traps the transgressor?
hvd.hn1j99	Is it serious?
hvd.hn1j99	Is it the yellow- faced man we saw at the window?
hvd.hn1j99	Is it true — you know this is my first visit here — that he is as eccentric as we read in those sensational newspaper articles?
hvd.hn1j99	Is it — Miss Bur- ton?
hvd.hn1j99	Is n't it rather odd,I ventured,"that the sounds of the struggle, or whatever it was, did n't alarm the house?"
hvd.hn1j99	Is she in Mr. Rennick's room?
hvd.hn1j99	Is that all?
hvd.hn1j99	Is that fact just dawning on you, Nora?
hvd.hn1j99	Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Mack?
hvd.hn1j99	Is this Miss Burton's housekeeper? hvd.hn1j99 Is this the Lenox?
hvd.hn1j99	It ought to mean something to you, eh?
hvd.hn1j99	It was locked?
hvd.hn1j99	It was over his body that Norris Endicott and 94 Miss Madelyn Mack, DetectiveAre n't we veering from the subject, Miss Mack?"
hvd.hn1j99	Law, child, do n't you know she has a way of finding out things?
hvd.hn1j99	Mademoiselle Burton has already gone on ze stage? hvd.hn1j99 May I ask if you have found the body?"
hvd.hn1j99	May I in- quire, Miss Mack, since when have you been in charge of this case?
hvd.hn1j99	Miss Mack? hvd.hn1j99 Miss Noraker is a — a reporter, I believe?
hvd.hn1j99	Miss Wentworth lived with her uncle, I take it?
hvd.hn1j99	Mr. Collins,she began directly,"are you familiar with the history of this lady whom you were about to make your wife?"
hvd.hn1j99	Mr. Truxton? hvd.hn1j99 Nervous, old man?"
hvd.hn1j99	Nervous? hvd.hn1j99 Nora, girl, what is it?"
hvd.hn1j99	Nora, will you kindly start the phonograph for me? hvd.hn1j99 Nora,"she said, without turning,"will you kindly walk six steps to your right?"
hvd.hn1j99	Not suicide?
hvd.hn1j99	Of course, you do n't mean every word?
hvd.hn1j99	Oh, is that you, Nora? hvd.hn1j99 Oh, you would, would you?"
hvd.hn1j99	Or did he dress before he appeared at the house?
hvd.hn1j99	Perhaps you are wondering, Mr. Van Sutton, why I locked myself into the room after you and Miss Noraker had left? hvd.hn1j99 Really, ma'am, you —""Are you going to do as I ask you?"
hvd.hn1j99	Really?
hvd.hn1j99	Serious? hvd.hn1j99 Shall I let you into a secret?
hvd.hn1j99	Shall I telephone headquarters?
hvd.hn1j99	Shall I telephone?
hvd.hn1j99	Shall we leave?
hvd.hn1j99	Shall we take him outside, Lieutenant?
hvd.hn1j99	She poison her husband?
hvd.hn1j99	So you are jealous of Ariel Burton, are you? hvd.hn1j99 So you have fallen back on the cola stimulant again, Miss Mack?"
hvd.hn1j99	Suppose I change my angle, and ask if you are prepared to explain your own whereabouts at the time of the crime?
hvd.hn1j99	Susan, will you kindly tell Andrew to bring around the car at once? hvd.hn1j99 The autopsy?"
hvd.hn1j99	The back hall, then, was the only means by which an intruder could have entered Miss Bur- ton's room?
hvd.hn1j99	The door?
hvd.hn1j99	The legal angle? hvd.hn1j99 The other man?"
hvd.hn1j99	The police — you think per- haps we ought to — why do n't some of you say something?
hvd.hn1j99	The police?
hvd.hn1j99	The roof, perhaps?
hvd.hn1j99	The second story veranda?
hvd.hn1j99	The shot?
hvd.hn1j99	The truth?
hvd.hn1j99	The windows?
hvd.hn1j99	Then Mr. Marsh was poisoned after all?
hvd.hn1j99	Then he is not a reporter?
hvd.hn1j99	Then he was poisoned?
hvd.hn1j99	Then nothing is missing, absolutely nothing?
hvd.hn1j99	Then why have you been allowing it to torment you for the last two weeks?
hvd.hn1j99	Then you have not found it?
hvd.hn1j99	Then, perhaps, you will be good enough to tell me of what my loss consists?
hvd.hn1j99	There is no objection to my seeing the body again?
hvd.hn1j99	Three lumps of sugar?
hvd.hn1j99	To be quite frank, he preferred —"Yes?
hvd.hn1j99	Town?
hvd.hn1j99	Typewritten?
hvd.hn1j99	Under the supervision of Dr. Dench, we have made a most complete probe of the various organs, — lungs, stomach, heart —"And brain, I presume?
hvd.hn1j99	Up- stairs?
hvd.hn1j99	Was I foolish enough to talk about a rest, Nora? hvd.hn1j99 Was Mr. Hendricks aware of your sentiments toward his niece?"
hvd.hn1j99	Was either burning in Endicott's room at the time of his disappearance?
hvd.hn1j99	Was the same true in your case, Nora?
hvd.hn1j99	We are going to Ariel Burton's apart- ments?
hvd.hn1j99	Well, how was it done?
hvd.hn1j99	Well?
hvd.hn1j99	Well?
hvd.hn1j99	Well?
hvd.hn1j99	Wendell Marsh?
hvd.hn1j99	What did you find?
hvd.hn1j99	What do you mean, young woman?
hvd.hn1j99	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1j99	What do you think of that, men? hvd.hn1j99 What has happened now?"
hvd.hn1j99	What have you been do- ing all night?
hvd.hn1j99	What is that?
hvd.hn1j99	What is the favor?
hvd.hn1j99	What is wrong?
hvd.hn1j99	What kind of a yarn are you trying to give me?
hvd.hn1j99	What of it?
hvd.hn1j99	What on earth made him do it?
hvd.hn1j99	What shall it be?
hvd.hn1j99	What time is the coroner's inquest, Senator?
hvd.hn1j99	What was that you were saying, Peterson?
hvd.hn1j99	What, under Heaven, are you giving us, man?
hvd.hn1j99	What? hvd.hn1j99 What?"
hvd.hn1j99	Where are your eyes and your ears? hvd.hn1j99 Where is Bob?"
hvd.hn1j99	Where is the body?
hvd.hn1j99	Where's the weapon, gentlemen?
hvd.hn1j99	Where, this time?
hvd.hn1j99	Why did John Dorrence bring you back a blank sheet of paper when you dispatched him on your errand?
hvd.hn1j99	Why do you tell me this?
hvd.hn1j99	Why not? hvd.hn1j99 Why?"
hvd.hn1j99	Why?
hvd.hn1j99	Why?
hvd.hn1j99	Why?
hvd.hn1j99	Will it have to be broken in?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you come into the den?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you do me a favor, Sheriff?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you kindly lead the way in?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you kindly let me have the red leather book that you took from Mr. Marsh's desk this evening, Doctor?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you kindly read aloud the article I have marked?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you step into the library, sir? hvd.hn1j99 Will you take me up to Mr. Endicott's room now, please?"
hvd.hn1j99	Will you tell me candidly, Mr. Van Sutton, why you objected so persistently to your daughter's marriage?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you tell the butler to send around the car? hvd.hn1j99 Woman?"
hvd.hn1j99	Would Cinderella's missing slipper fit an Amazon?
hvd.hn1j99	Would you mind leaving the room for a few moments, Nora? hvd.hn1j99 Would you mind starting the phonograph?
hvd.hn1j99	You are Miss Mack's assistant, I understand?
hvd.hn1j99	You are Miss Mack's friend, are you not? hvd.hn1j99 You are going down?"
hvd.hn1j99	You are going to follow him?
hvd.hn1j99	You are quite confident?
hvd.hn1j99	You are searching for a man with a yellow face, of a Spanish type?
hvd.hn1j99	You can tell me then whether the Senator is in the habit of polishing his glasses when he is in a nervous mood?
hvd.hn1j99	You do n't mean that you have n't — heard?
hvd.hn1j99	You examined it anyway, notwithstanding my testimony?
hvd.hn1j99	You feel better, do n't you?
hvd.hn1j99	You have discovered then the other man in the death- struggle that wrecked the library?
hvd.hn1j99	You have interviewed Senator Duffield on several occasions, have you not, Nora?
hvd.hn1j99	You mean Miss Mack?
hvd.hn1j99	You mean his defeated rivals for Miss Van Sut- ton's hand?
hvd.hn1j99	You mean that you found no trace of poison?
hvd.hn1j99	You mean the letter is a forgery?
hvd.hn1j99	You mean to say, Miss Mack, that the murderer is in this room at the present time?
hvd.hn1j99	You subscribe to Dr. Williams'opin- ion?
hvd.hn1j99	You think it — necessary?
hvd.hn1j99	You will excuse me?
hvd.hn1j99	-"That is, one which would be good enough for publication in The Bugle?"
hvd.hn1j99	104 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Shall I get the brandy, sir?"
hvd.hn1j99	126 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Have you ever given particular study to the legal angle in your cases, Miss Mack?"
hvd.hn1j99	138 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective stationed to prevent his escape?
hvd.hn1j99	144 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Rennick's murderer?"
hvd.hn1j99	22 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Che- cherry pie?"
hvd.hn1j99	24 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"A letter from — Uncle?"
hvd.hn1j99	256 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"You are quite sure she did not?
hvd.hn1j99	310 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"I trust we are not intruding?"
hvd.hn1j99	46 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"You have found the man who forged this?"
hvd.hn1j99	6 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Do you then prefer women operatives on your staff?"
hvd.hn1j99	82 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Do you want me here?"
hvd.hn1j99	A Don Quixotic plan?
hvd.hn1j99	A desper- ate search had been made of Miss Mack's sanctum for — what?
hvd.hn1j99	A favorable answer to what?
hvd.hn1j99	Am I correct?"
hvd.hn1j99	Am I right?"
hvd.hn1j99	Am I verging too much on the lines of the woman novel- ist?
hvd.hn1j99	And in New York this meant — Why had Beatrice Farragut suggested Beth Duf- field?
hvd.hn1j99	And then I added hastily,"and, if he has, why should I care?"
hvd.hn1j99	And there is no answer?"
hvd.hn1j99	And what had it told her?
hvd.hn1j99	And — and — a good- fellow comradeship is n't so very satisfying — to a man — is it?"
hvd.hn1j99	Are you a man or a machine?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you made of ice, woman?
hvd.hn1j99	Are you ready for another trip to town?"
hvd.hn1j99	Are you up to a cabaret?
hvd.hn1j99	As for the rest of it, you had better have them remain until —""The police?"
hvd.hn1j99	As for you, Miss Went- worth, I am sorry, but —""What?"
hvd.hn1j99	Bugle office?"
hvd.hn1j99	But he did not appear to notice the fact as he burst out,"Do you realize that you are standing here inactive while the thief is escaping?
hvd.hn1j99	But how could it be prevented?
hvd.hn1j99	But the question, Miss Mack, is what became of that there other man?
hvd.hn1j99	But why had I found it in the ashes?"
hvd.hn1j99	But- — you are quite sure — a letter?"
hvd.hn1j99	By the way, Mr. Rennick's glasses — the pair that was found under his body — were packed with his clothes, were they not?"
hvd.hn1j99	By what?
hvd.hn1j99	Ca n't you appreciate what this means?
hvd.hn1j99	Ca n't you see her smiling up at him?
hvd.hn1j99	Ca n't you see yet the game Jacqueline was playing?
hvd.hn1j99	Can you give me a few moments?
hvd.hn1j99	Could Madelyn solve the problem that had already taken rank as the most baffling police case of five years?
hvd.hn1j99	Could you have made a better one?
hvd.hn1j99	Could you have them sent to the library?"
hvd.hn1j99	Desolate?
hvd.hn1j99	Did she smoke cigar- ettes?"
hvd.hn1j99	Did you leave your hat in the hall?"
hvd.hn1j99	Do n't you think, Miss Mack, that our conversation should be, er — private?"
hvd.hn1j99	Do you happen to know whether the ball is solid or hollow?"
hvd.hn1j99	Do you mean to tell me —"86 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"That I have discovered the body of Norris Endicott?
hvd.hn1j99	Do you think I am blind?
hvd.hn1j99	Do you understand — outside?"
hvd.hn1j99	Do you want the stage- manager to fine you?"
hvd.hn1j99	Does it im- press you in the same way?"
hvd.hn1j99	Does the sec- The Missing Bridegroom 73 ond story veranda under Mr. Endicott's window extend along the entire side of the house?"
hvd.hn1j99	Endicott's?"
hvd.hn1j99	For instance, here is a volume on the inner court life of Elizabeth — perhaps you would like me to read you this random passage?"
hvd.hn1j99	Funny, is n't it, how blind a chap can be — and what a bump it takes to make him see light?"
hvd.hn1j99	Grayson?"
hvd.hn1j99	Had Miss Mack read the message of the Purple Thumb?
hvd.hn1j99	Had she forgotten Thorny Pres- ton — and the card in the white orchids?
hvd.hn1j99	Has it ever occurred to you that there might be a chapter in Miss Van Sutton's life unknown to you?
hvd.hn1j99	Has it found it?"
hvd.hn1j99	Have I made myself clear?"
hvd.hn1j99	Have n't your eyes been opened to the wild- goose chase she gave us — and its purpose?"
hvd.hn1j99	Have you ever studied the relation of tobacco to human emotions, Mr. Wiley?
hvd.hn1j99	Have you ever tried to plunge a dagger through five inches of human flesh?"
hvd.hn1j99	He had taken a second step when a curious impulse — was it the factor of chance?
hvd.hn1j99	How about the sudden necessity of eliminating himself from that wedding?
hvd.hn1j99	How did it happen?"
hvd.hn1j99	How had she reached the room?
hvd.hn1j99	How in the name of Heaven could the murderer shoot, and then es- cape through a locked door?"
hvd.hn1j99	How was it possible to spirit herself away from a crowded playhouse so that the manner of her dis- appearance would not be detected?
hvd.hn1j99	How?
hvd.hn1j99	I believe you have your article yet to write for The Bugle, have n't you?
hvd.hn1j99	I gave a muffled invitation to enter, for my sixth sense — how many senses does a woman have?
hvd.hn1j99	I hope you do n't think I disturbed the body?"
hvd.hn1j99	I presume that it is too early to ask if you have developed a theory?"
hvd.hn1j99	If Mr. Tay- lor should arrive before I am through, will you kindly let me know?"
hvd.hn1j99	Is it a hunch that something is about to happen to me — something different from anything Gwen has yet found on the boards?
hvd.hn1j99	Is that agreeable to you?"
hvd.hn1j99	Is there an individual in this room to whom this description applies?"
hvd.hn1j99	Is there anything else?"
hvd.hn1j99	Is there anything else?"
hvd.hn1j99	Is there anything more?"
hvd.hn1j99	It — it —"I wonder if the sentence was finished in eternity?
hvd.hn1j99	Just in time — for what?
hvd.hn1j99	MISS MADELYN MACK, DETECTIVE u cirrttti?
hvd.hn1j99	May I ask what is your report from the butler?"
hvd.hn1j99	May I humbly inquire how your pink tea wisdom deduces so much?"
hvd.hn1j99	May I mention your name, Miss Wentworth?
hvd.hn1j99	May I see it?"
hvd.hn1j99	Miss Burton is recovering, is she not?"
hvd.hn1j99	Miss Mack, do you mean that after all it was not suicide?"
hvd.hn1j99	Mr. Marsh had worked —""Will you kindly show me the room?"
hvd.hn1j99	Now, what could agitate Norris Endicott so remarkably?
hvd.hn1j99	Once he jerked his head toward the gardener with the curt question,"Who found him?"
hvd.hn1j99	Or is it Fate?
hvd.hn1j99	Or was it fancy?
hvd.hn1j99	Oui?"
hvd.hn1j99	Perkins, will you kindly notify the servants?"
hvd.hn1j99	Queer, ai n't it, how some folks'tastes do run?"
hvd.hn1j99	She had trained herself, however, to use either hand on occasion, had she not?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Bullet from Nowhere 163"In Heaven's name, why?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Bullet from Nowhere 169"And now,"Grayson burst on unheeding,"you show me that he was not —""Murdered?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Bullet from Nowhere 181"Will I be trespassing if I take a glance around?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Man with Nine Lives 11"What are you chuckling over, Nora?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Man with Nine Lives 23"Has the coroner come yet, Sheriff?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Missing Bridegroom 61"Where's Norris, Willard?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Missing Bridegroom 75 was to have been performed — I take it, is on the other side?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Purple Thumb 215"Was there anything in Miss Burton's bouquet to- night — a note of any kind, I mean?"
hvd.hn1j99	The Purple Thumb 257"What would you do if you did n't have all the money you could spend?"
hvd.hn1j99	The po- lice?"
hvd.hn1j99	The rivalry of Weston and Grayson, the strug- gling young architect, for the favors of Hilda Went- worth had toe?
hvd.hn1j99	The smile was bubbling in her eyes as she glanced around with the surprised question,"Where's Norris?"
hvd.hn1j99	The trolley service to the Van Sutton place is abominable\""But why did you want me before six?"
hvd.hn1j99	Then what?
hvd.hn1j99	They sound commonplace enough, do n't they?"
hvd.hn1j99	Thorny moistened 296 Miss Madelyn Mack, Detective"Then what about the card in Miss Burton's bouquet that you concealed from us?"
hvd.hn1j99	Truxton?"
hvd.hn1j99	Was there no other way?
hvd.hn1j99	We do n't —""A shot?"
hvd.hn1j99	What can I do for you?"
hvd.hn1j99	What first attracted your attention to me?"
hvd.hn1j99	What had become of the street shoes that you would expect to find in the closet?
hvd.hn1j99	What had brought our garrulous, chorus- girl friend to the chamber of Ariel Burton?
hvd.hn1j99	What is it?"
hvd.hn1j99	What is that?"
hvd.hn1j99	What more likely than a message, per- haps a note, perhaps a telegram?
hvd.hn1j99	What motive had inspired her wild flight before our approach?
hvd.hn1j99	What newspaper reader does not know the name?
hvd.hn1j99	What sinister trail were we following, and where would it end?
hvd.hn1j99	What was the natural conclusion?
hvd.hn1j99	What was under the window?
hvd.hn1j99	What wrenching terror had reduced the ultra- reserved Mr. Marsh to an appeal like this?
hvd.hn1j99	What — what is it?"
hvd.hn1j99	What's the answer?"
hvd.hn1j99	What, for example?
hvd.hn1j99	What?
hvd.hn1j99	When the best girl in the world is about to be mine — all mine?
hvd.hn1j99	When will it be our turn?"
hvd.hn1j99	Where are Hilda and Bob Grayson?"
hvd.hn1j99	Where are they?"
hvd.hn1j99	Where's Miss Burton?"
hvd.hn1j99	Which is Miss Burton's bedroom?"
hvd.hn1j99	Which was it?
hvd.hn1j99	Why do you ask?"
hvd.hn1j99	Why had Muriel Jansen fainted?
hvd.hn1j99	Why had the dragon- like maid — for such I divined her to be — faced us with such hostility?
hvd.hn1j99	Why had the mention of Wendell Marsh's letter left such an atmosphere of bewil- dered doubt?
hvd.hn1j99	Why?
hvd.hn1j99	Why?"
hvd.hn1j99	Why?"
hvd.hn1j99	Wiley?"
hvd.hn1j99	Will you kindly connect me with Miss Ariel Bur- ton's apartment?
hvd.hn1j99	Will you kindly loan us your motor for the trip back to town; Mr. Van Sutton?"
hvd.hn1j99	Will you see that she gets it?"
hvd.hn1j99	Would it inconvenience you to wait here?"
hvd.hn1j99	Would the daring expedient of psychology win over death?
hvd.hn1j99	Would the old, familiar call of the stage re- animate the dying will of the show- girl when medical stimulants had failed?
hvd.hn1j99	Would you mind reading me their accounts of the case?
hvd.hn1j99	You are sure you have the number right?
hvd.hn1j99	You are sure you will protect me?"
hvd.hn1j99	You do n't find the situation unusual, do you?
hvd.hn1j99	You were asking me — what was it you were asking me?
hvd.hn1j99	You will take care of me, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1da5	A murder, sir? hvd.hn1da5 Ah, you ah de gen'l'man as wants to see me?"
hvd.hn1da5	And if I am —?
hvd.hn1da5	And yet you refuse to do anything for her?
hvd.hn1da5	And you concealed this because you were afraid that it was Bruce?
hvd.hn1da5	And you thought that Bruce and his father were quarreling?
hvd.hn1da5	And your father liked her for that, did n't he?
hvd.hn1da5	Andy, did you hear anything in the night?
hvd.hn1da5	Andy, did you hear anything in the night?
hvd.hn1da5	Any one drop in on you after you got home?
hvd.hn1da5	Are n't you going with him?
hvd.hn1da5	Are they mates?
hvd.hn1da5	Are you there, Nan?
hvd.hn1da5	But what is it?
hvd.hn1da5	But you did hear angry voices, did n't you?
hvd.hn1da5	Ca n't you see the family likeness in the face?
hvd.hn1da5	Could old man Rich have done it?
hvd.hn1da5	Did I?
hvd.hn1da5	Did any one see you go into your studio?
hvd.hn1da5	Did he receive it himself?
hvd.hn1da5	Did n't you go into her room?
hvd.hn1da5	Did the papers bite?
hvd.hn1da5	Did we get here in time, sir?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you do anything for her?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you go down to close it?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you hear any one go away?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you hear anything in the night?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you hear anything that sounded like a struggle?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you hear anything the night of the murder?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you know who was with him? hvd.hn1da5 Did you pass Miss Masuret's room?"
hvd.hn1da5	Did you see him go?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you sign receipts?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you speak to Miss Masuret?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you speak to Miss Masuret?
hvd.hn1da5	Did your father seem worried about anything?
hvd.hn1da5	Do n't you think you ought to come now?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you expect him to read all that?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you remember your mother?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you think Argyle was bug?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you think I'd go if I did n't have to? hvd.hn1da5 Entirely?"
hvd.hn1da5	Furnished rooms?
hvd.hn1da5	Going so soon? hvd.hn1da5 Good- by?"
hvd.hn1da5	Gov'nor, will you please sign these papers?
hvd.hn1da5	Had her bed been slept in?
hvd.hn1da5	Had n't we better go?
hvd.hn1da5	Has it been touched since?
hvd.hn1da5	Has the stenographer got the rest of this detecta- phone report out yet?
hvd.hn1da5	Have a cigar?
hvd.hn1da5	Have you found out how old Argyle was such a damned fool as to mix up with these people?
hvd.hn1da5	Have you got any clue?
hvd.hn1da5	Have you got your powder?
hvd.hn1da5	Have you money enough with you?
hvd.hn1da5	Hello — is that you, Hurley? hvd.hn1da5 His cries may not have been heard?"
hvd.hn1da5	How about Hurley?
hvd.hn1da5	How about you, gov'nor?
hvd.hn1da5	How did it happen, then, that you slept all through a murder?
hvd.hn1da5	How did you get there? hvd.hn1da5 How do you know that?"
hvd.hn1da5	How do you suppose they ever put it together?
hvd.hn1da5	How long has I Iibed heah? hvd.hn1da5 How long has he been here?"
hvd.hn1da5	How shall a man change himself? hvd.hn1da5 How'd you ever get on to it?"
hvd.hn1da5	How?
hvd.hn1da5	Hurley? hvd.hn1da5 I suppose the police and detectives from head- quarters have mauled everything about?
hvd.hn1da5	I suppose you've followed the newspaper reports of Mr. Argyle's death and our investigation?
hvd.hn1da5	I wonder how that happened?
hvd.hn1da5	I wonder why the boss do n't call us? hvd.hn1da5 I?"
hvd.hn1da5	In San Francisco?
hvd.hn1da5	In the desk?
hvd.hn1da5	Indeed?
hvd.hn1da5	Is Miss Masuret coming?
hvd.hn1da5	Is dis yeah man lyin'to me?
hvd.hn1da5	Is it Miss Masuret's mother?
hvd.hn1da5	Is she the girl's mother?
hvd.hn1da5	Is the furniture as it is now pretty much as you found it?
hvd.hn1da5	Is there any one in any of the surrounding apart- ments that could have seen you or your light?
hvd.hn1da5	Is this Mr. Flynn? hvd.hn1da5 Is this blackmail?"
hvd.hn1da5	It is n't Mr. Hurley, is it? hvd.hn1da5 Joe,"he exclaimed,"do you hear that?"
hvd.hn1da5	Leaving Mr. Argyle and his son alone here?
hvd.hn1da5	Marked for identification?
hvd.hn1da5	Mary? hvd.hn1da5 Me, sir?
hvd.hn1da5	Miss Mary, sir? hvd.hn1da5 Miss Masuret, for instance?"
hvd.hn1da5	Money?
hvd.hn1da5	Mr. Argyle's?
hvd.hn1da5	Must, Mr. Hurley? hvd.hn1da5 Nellie Marsh, eh?"
hvd.hn1da5	No man who wished to marry you?
hvd.hn1da5	Nothing whatever?
hvd.hn1da5	Oh — no —"Did Mr. Argyle ever object to your intimacy with any friends?
hvd.hn1da5	Oh, Friederick, do you think there is any danger of our being discovered?
hvd.hn1da5	Oh, just after Hurley left?
hvd.hn1da5	Oh, many, many years —"As long as that?
hvd.hn1da5	Oh, you told Miss Masuret?
hvd.hn1da5	Say, Bob, is your detectaphone working?
hvd.hn1da5	Scandal? hvd.hn1da5 Seen anything of the chief yet, Nash?"
hvd.hn1da5	She said so?
hvd.hn1da5	Smoke?
hvd.hn1da5	Smoke?
hvd.hn1da5	Suppose there are a few grafters among our ten thousand policemen — whose fault is it? hvd.hn1da5 Sure you got it right?"
hvd.hn1da5	Tell me,he went on,"you went to your room rather early that night — about nine- thirty?"
hvd.hn1da5	The detective, sir?
hvd.hn1da5	Then it was a nibble?
hvd.hn1da5	Then you have no reasons for suspecting any one?
hvd.hn1da5	Then you heard it rain?
hvd.hn1da5	There is no one who would inherit this money from you, or have any other reason for wishing you to get it?
hvd.hn1da5	Think so, Colt?
hvd.hn1da5	Think so?
hvd.hn1da5	Walked, eh? hvd.hn1da5 Was Miss Masuret up?"
hvd.hn1da5	Was he lying on his back?
hvd.hn1da5	Was it usual for Miss Masuret to be dressed so early?
hvd.hn1da5	Was she ill?
hvd.hn1da5	Was that unusual?.
hvd.hn1da5	Was the fact that he was about to make a new will secret?
hvd.hn1da5	Was there a light under the door?
hvd.hn1da5	Well — after a while —"And heard nothing more?
hvd.hn1da5	Well, what do you think of that will?
hvd.hn1da5	Well, what's she so damned mysterious about herself for? hvd.hn1da5 Well,"he demanded,"is it phony?"
hvd.hn1da5	Went right to sleep?
hvd.hn1da5	What ails ye, Topp?
hvd.hn1da5	What became of her mother?
hvd.hn1da5	What brought you up- stairs?
hvd.hn1da5	What can I do?
hvd.hn1da5	What did I tell you? hvd.hn1da5 What did he say?"
hvd.hn1da5	What did she say?
hvd.hn1da5	What did you do after he had gone?
hvd.hn1da5	What did you think?
hvd.hn1da5	What do you know?
hvd.hn1da5	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1da5	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1da5	What do you see significant in that?
hvd.hn1da5	What does he do?
hvd.hn1da5	What for?
hvd.hn1da5	What is it, Mr. Hurley? hvd.hn1da5 What is it?"
hvd.hn1da5	What is it?
hvd.hn1da5	What is it?
hvd.hn1da5	What made you look up at the bannister- rail?
hvd.hn1da5	What room is that, Finley?
hvd.hn1da5	What time was it?
hvd.hn1da5	What time was it?
hvd.hn1da5	What was Mr. Masuret's first name?
hvd.hn1da5	What was it?
hvd.hn1da5	What's dat — what's dat you call me?
hvd.hn1da5	What's his name?
hvd.hn1da5	What's keeping him this morning?
hvd.hn1da5	What's that?
hvd.hn1da5	What's up, gov'nor?
hvd.hn1da5	What?
hvd.hn1da5	What?
hvd.hn1da5	What?
hvd.hn1da5	When was this cover put back?
hvd.hn1da5	Where are the prepared blotters?
hvd.hn1da5	Where was the body?
hvd.hn1da5	Where were you?
hvd.hn1da5	Who is it? hvd.hn1da5 Who killed John Argyle?"
hvd.hn1da5	Who's he?
hvd.hn1da5	Who? hvd.hn1da5 Whose — Kreisler's?"
hvd.hn1da5	Why did n't you speak to her?
hvd.hn1da5	Why did n't you speak to him?
hvd.hn1da5	Why do you ask me? hvd.hn1da5 Why is it impossible?
hvd.hn1da5	Why not?
hvd.hn1da5	Why not?
hvd.hn1da5	Why, what is it, Mary?
hvd.hn1da5	Will you come in here, please?
hvd.hn1da5	Would n't that involve a good deal of expense?
hvd.hn1da5	Yes — yes —"And for that reason I used only the initials N. M. Did you ever hear Mr. Argyle refer to a Miss Marsh?
hvd.hn1da5	Yes, going away —"Why? hvd.hn1da5 Yes, sir?"
hvd.hn1da5	Yes?
hvd.hn1da5	You do n't mean John Argyle, the banker?
hvd.hn1da5	You do n't recall the date of the paper?
hvd.hn1da5	You do n't think that you could interest a man in his position — a millionaire — in a scheme for counter- feiting if he were in his right mind?
hvd.hn1da5	You got up and lit the gas to look at the clock?
hvd.hn1da5	You have no relatives?
hvd.hn1da5	You heard the son go?
hvd.hn1da5	You heard voices?
hvd.hn1da5	You saw him go?
hvd.hn1da5	You were looking down from the upper hall?
hvd.hn1da5	You'd kill 3'ourself?
hvd.hn1da5	You're convinced, then, that it was a burglar, and not some intimate who killed him?
hvd.hn1da5	You've got an office like a bloated Senator, have n't you? hvd.hn1da5 'How about Brockton?"
hvd.hn1da5	'Who's dead?'
hvd.hn1da5	190 THE ARGYLE CASE first- class detective doing second- story work in a third- class tenement?
hvd.hn1da5	204 THE ARGYLE CASE Kayton?
hvd.hn1da5	207 THE ARGYLE CASE"Do n't you?
hvd.hn1da5	33 THE ARGYLE CASE"Where are they now?"
hvd.hn1da5	4 41 THE ARGYLE CASE"You think you're smart, do n't you?
hvd.hn1da5	64 THE ARGYLE CASE"What did she say?"
hvd.hn1da5	92 THE ARGYLE CASE account for the fact that Mr. Argyle made no out- cry?"
hvd.hn1da5	97 THE ARGYLE CASE"What time was that?"
hvd.hn1da5	Address Mead £ f?
hvd.hn1da5	Addressing Mr. Finley, he added:"Tell me, my man, has anything been touched here since the night of the murder?"
hvd.hn1da5	Addressing the butler, she said:"Did you ring for me?"
hvd.hn1da5	Advancing on tiptoe to the desk, the young man inquired:"Did you get her finger- prints?"
hvd.hn1da5	Again the detective asked, sharply:"Did n't you hear the rain on your skylight?"
hvd.hn1da5	Almost reproachfully he said:"Where is your courage, my dear?
hvd.hn1da5	And even if we had them all separately under surveillance, 164 THE ARGYLE CASE this way publicly and then clear you when we find the real criminal?"
hvd.hn1da5	And in doing so I was only doing what'promoters'make a business of doing generally in this country, you under- stand?"
hvd.hn1da5	And what I felt at the time was — I distinctly remember it — that he was in danger —""Of what?"
hvd.hn1da5	And you mean to tell me that you found that bill in a millionaire's desk?"
hvd.hn1da5	And, by the way, I want to know what that N. M.'Personal'meant?
hvd.hn1da5	Anxiously she asked:"What's the matter?"
hvd.hn1da5	Anything else I can do?"
hvd.hn1da5	Are you crazy?"
hvd.hn1da5	Are you looking for me?"
hvd.hn1da5	Argyle,'says he —""Who's Andy?"
hvd.hn1da5	Argyle?"
hvd.hn1da5	As much as he wants to clear you?"
hvd.hn1da5	At last, as if giving expression to thoughts that had been worrying her, she exclaimed:"Friederick, what have I done to Mary?
hvd.hn1da5	At last, with an effort, he demanded, hoarsely:"Have you believed all this time that I killed my father?""
hvd.hn1da5	Beauregard?"
hvd.hn1da5	Becoming serious again, he took up a telegram and said:"I see you could n't locate that telephone call?"
hvd.hn1da5	Besides, how was she to know that if he died at that particular moment she would be sole heir under the will?"
hvd.hn1da5	But I did n't go down — I was so unhappy —""You heard nothing more?
hvd.hn1da5	But no one spoke, and he went on:"What I want to know is, are they after us, or are 209 THE ARGYLE CASE they after that new skirt you've got in here?
hvd.hn1da5	But was it credible that a young woman delicately nurtured, charming and amiable as every one declared her to be, would attempt such a deed?
hvd.hn1da5	But what about the people that read the newspapers and do n't know us?
hvd.hn1da5	But what he said was that he had gone into something —"146 THE ARGYLE CASE"Of what sort?"
hvd.hn1da5	By the by, Mr. Hurley, when you first met Mr. Argyle — How did you meet him?"
hvd.hn1da5	Changing abruptly the line of questioning, he demanded sud- denly:"Did you come down to this floor?"
hvd.hn1da5	Changing abruptly the line of questions, the de- tective asked:"Where did you sleep that night?"
hvd.hn1da5	Contemptuously he cried:"Do you think I'd have sent her here if I had n't known you were her mother?
hvd.hn1da5	Could I take up the case?
hvd.hn1da5	Could it be Andy himself or that footman they discharged a month ago, when they discovered he had a prison record?
hvd.hn1da5	Could n't ye leave her alone, sir?"
hvd.hn1da5	Did he know more than he was willing to admit?
hvd.hn1da5	Did you attend to that fake'Personal'about Nellie Marsh — Miss Masuret's mother — about the fake legacy?"
hvd.hn1da5	Did you expect to be a bene- ficiary under the will?"
hvd.hn1da5	Did you refer her to me?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you believe I'm drunk?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you know what I mean r"Then you do n't think it was a blackmailing case in the paper?"
hvd.hn1da5	Do you know what I mean?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you know what I mean?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you know what I mean?"
hvd.hn1da5	Do you mind going up to the billiard- room?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you think for a moment that I could enjoy his money, knowing'16 THE ARGYLE CASE I had deprived you of it?
hvd.hn1da5	Do you think he will draw the new will to- day?"
hvd.hn1da5	Do you think you can trust me?"
hvd.hn1da5	Do you think your signature might be found among his papers?"
hvd.hn1da5	Do you want my ser- vants to hear?"
hvd.hn1da5	Dubiously he asked:"East Green Street?
hvd.hn1da5	E — a, b, c, d, e,—973—don't you get it?
hvd.hn1da5	Eagerly he said:"Can I help you?"
hvd.hn1da5	Embarrassed at the rebuke, the young man ex- claimed, in some confusion:"What's that, gov'nor?"
hvd.hn1da5	Finally Mary broke the silence:"So you are determined to go away?"
hvd.hn1da5	Finally she said, timidly:"Wo n't you let me lend you some?
hvd.hn1da5	Finally, breaking the silence which had begun to embarrass her, he repeated:"How are you this morning?"
hvd.hn1da5	Finley?"
hvd.hn1da5	Good God, have n't you any feeling for her at all?
hvd.hn1da5	Good- humoredly he ex- claimed:"Why did n't you tell us that at first?
hvd.hn1da5	Got that, Joe?"
hvd.hn1da5	Gov'nor get in yet?"
hvd.hn1da5	Growing impatient at the delay, Kayton asked, coldly:"Well, what is your decision?"
hvd.hn1da5	Had he come to the house with the idea of killing his father before he could sign it?
hvd.hn1da5	Had not he himself let his young master out at ten o'clock?
hvd.hn1da5	Have you heard her say anything about it?"
hvd.hn1da5	Have you received money from Mr. Argyle before?"
hvd.hn1da5	Heedless of her distress, he exclaimed, sarcastically:"You do — you do, eh?"
hvd.hn1da5	Her lips trembling, her voice betray- ing the supreme effort she was making to remain calm, she said, very gently:"My dear, will you come with me?"
hvd.hn1da5	His eyes still riveted on the youth, Kayton de- manded:"What time did you go to bed?"
hvd.hn1da5	His voice was hard and unyielding as ever as he asked:"Where are you going?"
hvd.hn1da5	Holding out the banknote, he added:"Could n't any of you experts down at the office give a wild guess whose work this was?"
hvd.hn1da5	How are you to- day?"
hvd.hn1da5	How could I?
hvd.hn1da5	How could he know that?
hvd.hn1da5	How could he tell this girl, the companion of the happiest days of his boyhood, that she was the innocent cause of his being disinherited?
hvd.hn1da5	How could you think such a thing?
hvd.hn1da5	How did she know it was the library?
hvd.hn1da5	How do we know that the house is not watched?
hvd.hn1da5	How goes it?"
hvd.hn1da5	How have you repaid all I have done for you?
hvd.hn1da5	How is Mary?"
hvd.hn1da5	How much do you want?"
hvd.hn1da5	How should they find us out here?"
hvd.hn1da5	Hurley?"
hvd.hn1da5	Hurley?"
hvd.hn1da5	Hurley?"
hvd.hn1da5	Hurley?"
hvd.hn1da5	Hurley?"
hvd.hn1da5	I don'know nuffin', eh?
hvd.hn1da5	I went up to him and said:'You are looking for me?'
hvd.hn1da5	I'll hear from you?"
hvd.hn1da5	I'll make him —""How can you make him if he refuses?"
hvd.hn1da5	I'm a widow — do you know what I mean?
hvd.hn1da5	I'm going away —""Going away?"
hvd.hn1da5	In a few 24 THE ARGYLE CASE,"Then what do you advise?"
hvd.hn1da5	In an awe- stricken whisper she asked:"What are you doing in here, Bruce?"
hvd.hn1da5	In what way?"
hvd.hn1da5	Indignantly she added:"What business's it on yohs how long I libed heah?"
hvd.hn1da5	Is n't there a back way so you could escape with her to a hotel?"
hvd.hn1da5	Is that your present address?"
hvd.hn1da5	Is the chief in?
hvd.hn1da5	Is your money all as clean as it might be?"
hvd.hn1da5	Is yours?"
hvd.hn1da5	Joe's eyes twinkled, and an expressive whistle escaped from between his thin lips as he exclaimed enthusiastically:"Is he?
hvd.hn1da5	Just now?
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton looked up quickly:"Is she here?"
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton merely smiled as he went on, calmly:"And I suppose you were just as attached to Miss Masuret?"
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton now went to the table, and, taking up one end of the cloth, he said:"You say this cloth was dragged from the table?"
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton picked up the receiver, and after listening a moment replied with some impatience:"Who?
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton pulled the apparatus to him and, after listening a moment, spoke into it:"Mr. Hurley?
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton?"
hvd.hn1da5	Kayton?"
hvd.hn1da5	Kreisler?"
hvd.hn1da5	Let me see, what's your address?
hvd.hn1da5	Loftily he replied:"Why pay any attention to that sort of thing?
hvd.hn1da5	Looking up, he asked, carelessly:"What is it, Finley?"
hvd.hn1da5	Lowering his voice, he went on:"Have you had any report of a counterfeit hundred- dollar gold certificate — E-9737?
hvd.hn1da5	M.''Per- sonal'?
hvd.hn1da5	M.'heard from, gov'nor?"
hvd.hn1da5	Martin?"
hvd.hn1da5	Mary, do you think so now?"
hvd.hn1da5	Might I suggest something in regard to the trust?"
hvd.hn1da5	More calmly, the attorney went on:"Have you see the papers?
hvd.hn1da5	More detectives?
hvd.hn1da5	Nervously he said:"Who is it?
hvd.hn1da5	Not letting her see that he noticed it, he continued:"Then you have seen that suspicion has been di- rected against his adopted daughter?"
hvd.hn1da5	Of course, I'm positive it was burglars — do you know what I mean?"
hvd.hn1da5	Oh — did you think she was a reporter?
hvd.hn1da5	Oh, what have I done?"
hvd.hn1da5	On the other hand, what possible dealings could a wealthy man like John Argyle have with a band of crooks?
hvd.hn1da5	Or do I'ave'elp?"
hvd.hn1da5	Or is this the way the furniture was found?"
hvd.hn1da5	Pointing to a voluminous manuscript lying on the chiefs desk, he asked:"What's all that?"
hvd.hn1da5	Presently he asked:"When can you have it ready for the signature?"
hvd.hn1da5	Presently she asked:"Are you sure about his changing the will?
hvd.hn1da5	Presently, without looking up, Kayton said:"You've been referred to me by —"He paused a moment to again sign his name and added:"Mead& Tolworthy?"
hvd.hn1da5	Quick as a flash, the detective demanded:"Was it Miss Masuret?"
hvd.hn1da5	Quickly he added:"What have you got against them in particular?"
hvd.hn1da5	Sarcasti- cally he said:"You're one of those very heavy sleepers, I sup- pose?"
hvd.hn1da5	Say, ai n't he a wonder?"
hvd.hn1da5	Say, you old bloodhound, where are the plates?"
hvd.hn1da5	Sharply he said:"The body was lying on this side of the room?"
hvd.hn1da5	Sharply he said:"Ye're to draw the curtains an'air the room, d'ye hear?"
hvd.hn1da5	She hesitated, and he repeated:"You saw him go?"
hvd.hn1da5	Skeptically he replied:"You mean the'extra'they're calling?
hvd.hn1da5	So you went to sleep?"
hvd.hn1da5	So you're Kitty, are you?"
hvd.hn1da5	Soothingly he exclaimed:"Mein Liebschen, what difference would it make?
hvd.hn1da5	Still lagging behind, he asked, fearfully:"Do I do it alone, Mr. Finley?
hvd.hn1da5	Still pretending to be busy, the detective went on:"You have some information concerning the per- son advertised for?"
hvd.hn1da5	Suddenly he demanded:"Tell me, Mrs. Wyatt, how were the relations between Mr. Argyle and his son?"
hvd.hn1da5	THE ARGYLE CASE"What have you been thinking?
hvd.hn1da5	That I came back here and quarreled with my father and — and — How could you think such a thing?"
hvd.hn1da5	That's damn funny, now, ai n't it?"
hvd.hn1da5	The banker advanced toward the young girl and, taking her hand in his, patted it caressingly:"Do you want me, dear?"
hvd.hn1da5	The detective was silent for a moment; then abruptly he asked:"How long have you lived here?"
hvd.hn1da5	The newspapers — why, they do n't seem to care THE ARGYLE CASE at all what they say — do you know what I mean?
hvd.hn1da5	Then when all this blows over — in Germany, per- haps — who knows?"
hvd.hn1da5	Then, suddenly, he demanded:"Why could n't Bruce have stayed here that night instead of going away in a storm like that?"
hvd.hn1da5	This is n't the sort of place we'd like to entertain a sneak- thief in — is it?
hvd.hn1da5	Tolworthy?
hvd.hn1da5	Turning quickly to the footman, he went on:"What did you do?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning to Mrs. Martin, he added:"Mrs. Martin, is this the sort of protection she's to have in your house?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning to another man who at that moment entered the office, he called out:"Say, Leishman, did the chief expect to be late this morning?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning to his chief, he said,"You know it's funny to me one of those cops did n't pinch that hundred- dollar bill?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning to the but- ler, he asked, dryly:"You're Irish, ai n't you?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning to the butler, he asked:"What's the matter with the fellow?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning to the housekeeper, he asked:"Do you remember what the case was in the paper?"
hvd.hn1da5	Turning, he asked:"Has he been here?"
hvd.hn1da5	Was he hiding anything?
hvd.hn1da5	Was it Mr. Bruce?
hvd.hn1da5	Was it friend or foe?
hvd.hn1da5	Was she maid or matron?
hvd.hn1da5	Was she present in the room while another, an accomplice, did the old man to death?
hvd.hn1da5	Watching curiously his com- panion's preparations, Gage inquired:"Are you going to work now?"
hvd.hn1da5	Were those finger- prints on the polished surface of the table her finger- prints?
hvd.hn1da5	Were you caught in the rain?"
hvd.hn1da5	What are we running here, anyway — a white- slave annex?"
hvd.hn1da5	What are you going to do to Dr. Kreisler?
hvd.hn1da5	What could Washington have to do with this case?
hvd.hn1da5	What did the cook care for detectives?
hvd.hn1da5	What did you do with that last two thousand?
hvd.hn1da5	What do you care whether you in- herit by will or receive it from me?
hvd.hn1da5	What do you keep her shut up in that room for?
hvd.hn1da5	What ex- cuse could I give?
hvd.hn1da5	What good were the police?
hvd.hn1da5	What had passed between him and his aged client?
hvd.hn1da5	What has happened?"
hvd.hn1da5	What have I done?
hvd.hn1da5	What have you done?
hvd.hn1da5	What motive could she possibly have?
hvd.hn1da5	What murder?"
hvd.hn1da5	What return did you make for all this?
hvd.hn1da5	What was he doing in that den of thieves?
hvd.hn1da5	What was the real motive of this visit?
hvd.hn1da5	What were you doing that night?"
hvd.hn1da5	What will my dressmaker say?
hvd.hn1da5	What woke you up?"
hvd.hn1da5	What would I do if you were gone?"
hvd.hn1da5	What you tryin'to do to us with that hundred- dollar bill?"
hvd.hn1da5	What's happened?"
hvd.hn1da5	What's she wanted for?
hvd.hn1da5	What's to hurt ye here?
hvd.hn1da5	When are we goin'to start to shove'em?
hvd.hn1da5	When did Mr. Argyle adopt Miss Masuret?"
hvd.hn1da5	When did she call you up?
hvd.hn1da5	Where are you now?
hvd.hn1da5	Where are your papers?
hvd.hn1da5	Where have you been these two days?
hvd.hn1da5	Where is your courage?"
hvd.hn1da5	Where were you born?"
hvd.hn1da5	Where's that?
hvd.hn1da5	While Finley was ringing the bell he inquired:"Who else was in the house?"
hvd.hn1da5	Who better than he knew that his record would hard- ly bear inspection?
hvd.hn1da5	Who could it be?
hvd.hn1da5	Who is it that Kayton suspects?"
hvd.hn1da5	Who is it?"
hvd.hn1da5	Who is she, anyway?
hvd.hn1da5	Who is she?
hvd.hn1da5	Who was it?
hvd.hn1da5	Who was that woman?
hvd.hn1da5	Who was the stranger?
hvd.hn1da5	Who was this de- tective that he should dare dictate to him in his own house?
hvd.hn1da5	Why did n't you ask me?"
hvd.hn1da5	Why did you go and give out that stuff to the newspapers, about father's changing his will, and starting them up with all this rot about Mary?
hvd.hn1da5	Why do we want to be wasting our talent on such child's play as that?
hvd.hn1da5	Why does n't he know about her?"
hvd.hn1da5	Why sh'u'd ye be afeard o'the place where he died?"
hvd.hn1da5	Why should not he too marry and be settled and happy like other men?
hvd.hn1da5	Why should we draw the line at promoting counter- feiting?"
hvd.hn1da5	Why, if such a thing had hap- pened, would n't I have called you — roused the house — got help?
hvd.hn1da5	Will you bring it here?"
hvd.hn1da5	Will you help me?"
hvd.hn1da5	Will, you go now?"
hvd.hn1da5	Wiping the perspiration from his forehead and clearing his throat, he stammered, huskily:"Well, I saw —""What did you see?"
hvd.hn1da5	With an air of superiority he chuckled:"Say, were n't you onto that bunch?
hvd.hn1da5	With mock sympa- thy he asked:"Have you got to go to Pittsburg?"
hvd.hn1da5	With self- satisfaction he said:"How could you guess?
hvd.hn1da5	Wo n't you be seated, Mrs. Wyatt?
hvd.hn1da5	Wo n't you be seated?"
hvd.hn1da5	Would you have had me throw Nan unceremoniously overboard just to further my own selfish ends?
hvd.hn1da5	Would you marry the daughter of a woman disgraced?"
hvd.hn1da5	Wrathfully she replied:"I — I — I don'know nufHn', eh?
hvd.hn1da5	Wyatt?"
hvd.hn1da5	Wyatt?"
hvd.hn1da5	Yet, if her ano- nymity could be preserved, why should she not pro- tect her to the extent of her power?
hvd.hn1da5	You do n't want it known that John Argyle is a promoter of counterfeit money, do you?"
hvd.hn1da5	You found the body?"
hvd.hn1da5	You have n't?
hvd.hn1da5	You know what I mean —""Yes, yes,"interrupted Bruce, testily;"but what about the robbery?"
hvd.hn1da5	You know what I mean?"
hvd.hn1da5	You know what I mean?"
hvd.hn1da5	You love your work, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1da5	You want to clear him, do n't you?
hvd.hn1da5	You wo n't attach any importance to it, will you?
hvd.hn1da5	You're not a newspaper woman?"
hvd.hn1da5	a taxi?"
hvd.hn1t94	A stroke? ”I'm afraid so.
hvd.hn1t94	Ai n't you the queer one? hvd.hn1t94 All right now? ” he asked gently.
hvd.hn1t94	Am I to bring anything back? ” he asked. hvd.hn1t94 An effort to overpower me and take the case from me? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn1t94	And Madame Vandewater? ” he ventured to in- quire. hvd.hn1t94 And get the cow?"
hvd.hn1t94	Any clue yet?
hvd.hn1t94	Any orders, sir? ” “ None whatever.
hvd.hn1t94	Anything Renshaw says is worth looking into. ”But is n't he still rather- well — rather hipped?"
hvd.hn1t94	Are you a bull? ” he asked suddenly. hvd.hn1t94 Are you planning to have breakfast up here, sir? ” he respectfully inquired.
hvd.hn1t94	Are you serious? hvd.hn1t94 Can I attend to anything for you, sir, before I go or in town? ” Campbell shook his head.
hvd.hn1t94	Confound it, how can this fellow be of any use to me, when he's nervous as a cat? ” he reflected. hvd.hn1t94 Could you get me a glass of water? ” Her lips noiselessly framed the words.
hvd.hn1t94	Did you see grandfather before you came down? ” she asked Renshaw. hvd.hn1t94 Do n't you want me to unpack, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	Do n't you — hate it?
hvd.hn1t94	Do you mind telling me just what you meant by that warning?-for of course you intended it as a warning.
hvd.hn1t94	Everything is — how is it said in English?- quite all right. hvd.hn1t94 For what? ” “ For saying I was afraid of you.
hvd.hn1t94	Have you any idea who he is? ” “ No. hvd.hn1t94 Have you any matches?"
hvd.hn1t94	Have you noticed how different the servants are? ” she abruptly asked. hvd.hn1t94 He seemed very anxious to say something, and finally he brought it out. ”"Just what was it, again?"
hvd.hn1t94	Henri, will you be good enough to pull yourself together and fetch the change?
hvd.hn1t94	How about the leather case? hvd.hn1t94 How much salary do you want?
hvd.hn1t94	I'd like a newspaper, if there's one to spare. ”Which one, sir?
hvd.hn1t94	Is Madame Hvoeslef having one of her sick head- aches?
hvd.hn1t94	Is that all she wants? ” Renshaw regarded the pair. hvd.hn1t94 Is that her name? ” “ She thinks it is, so it will do."
hvd.hn1t94	It can be done, ca n't it? ” Morris persisted. hvd.hn1t94 Me friend?
hvd.hn1t94	Might I speak frankly, sir?
hvd.hn1t94	Mr. Campbell's getting along all right, sir, is n't he?
hvd.hn1t94	Odd noises? ” he repeated. hvd.hn1t94 Oh, he was n't — was n't he?
hvd.hn1t94	Shall I ALONG COMES VERITY 37 come back at half- past seven and help you to dress?
hvd.hn1t94	So Hart's your brother?
hvd.hn1t94	So We- wee belongs to Madame Hvoeslef? ” he mused. hvd.hn1t94 Suppose we start in the basement and go right on up?"
hvd.hn1t94	Suppose you were here alone? ” she asked suddenly. hvd.hn1t94 The way kids is spoiled nowadays is somethin'terrible, ai n't it?"
hvd.hn1t94	Then is there any use going on turning it? hvd.hn1t94 Then”—Morris dared the question-"you feel that you are all right- your own man again? ”"I know I am!"
hvd.hn1t94	To ignore anything I do n't understand? ” he suggested. hvd.hn1t94 Unusual noises?
hvd.hn1t94	Was it built for your grandfather? ”No; my great- grandfather had it built about a hundred years ago.
hvd.hn1t94	Was n't it, perhaps,he suggested,"a subcon- 192 A MESSAGE 193 scious association with Madame Hvoeslef's leather case?
hvd.hn1t94	What can you do?
hvd.hn1t94	What d'ye think I says to him then?
hvd.hn1t94	What did you do this afternoon?
hvd.hn1t94	What else did you think she wanted? ” Verity lifted the baby and stood her on the flat top of the sun- dial. hvd.hn1t94 What especial danger do you look for, Ma- dame? ” he asked lightly.
hvd.hn1t94	What is it, sir? ” he added in a whisper. hvd.hn1t94 What is it?"
hvd.hn1t94	What is it?
hvd.hn1t94	What is wrong? hvd.hn1t94 Where can I wear my pretty clothes if not here? ” she plaintively inquired, when Renshaw congrat- ulated her on a really striking gown.
hvd.hn1t94	Where's all the jewelry?
hvd.hn1t94	Where's her coat? ” he asked vaguely. hvd.hn1t94 Why did you engage him, if you did n't want him?"
hvd.hn1t94	Why not? hvd.hn1t94 Why, are n't we almost there? ” she asked, vaguely looking about her.
hvd.hn1t94	Would a hairpin help? ”. hvd.hn1t94 Would you like to go down and go through them? ” Verity rather listlessly suggested.
hvd.hn1t94	You did n't trust me?
hvd.hn1t94	You do n't imagine there is something back of 32 THE BLUE CIRCLE it? ” she slowly suggested. hvd.hn1t94 You do n't take shorthand notes, do you? ” Campbell inquired at last.
hvd.hn1t94	You will drive back with us, Monsieur Ren- shaw?
hvd.hn1t94	You yourself have never seen or heard any- thing?
hvd.hn1t94	You're going to look in on Miss Campbell again before you turn in, are n't you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1t94	You're nothing of the sort; what's the use of saying you are?
hvd.hn1t94	124 THE BLUE CIRCLE “ Why not? ” Renshaw, his back to the door, watched him closely.
hvd.hn1t94	220 DOCTOR STANLEY EXPLAINS 221"Ai n't this a great old world? ” was her opening remark.
hvd.hn1t94	252 THE BLUE CIRCLE “ What's wrong with it?"
hvd.hn1t94	292 THE BLUE CIRCLE"Going through with it? ” Morris asked, with ostentatious indifference.
hvd.hn1t94	A MAN CAST DOWN 17"Yes?"
hvd.hn1t94	After all, had he done right to come here?
hvd.hn1t94	Am I to understand that I am not to report to you anything unusual I may see or- or hear?
hvd.hn1t94	And even if any one wanted to, how could it be done without you seeing, sir? ”"That's what I'd like to know myself. ” Ren- shaw spoke wearily.
hvd.hn1t94	And if he had to be guarded from some animal or madman, why the devil had n't Campbell told him so?
hvd.hn1t94	And was his present con- dition the result of the excitement following these 194 THE BLUE CIRCLE causes?
hvd.hn1t94	And what the deuce was the good of being a well man if one did n't know he was well?
hvd.hn1t94	And yet — and yet — He had one more question to ask: “ Whom do you mean by'we'? ” Jenks looked surprised.
hvd.hn1t94	Are n't you taking it for granted that they know it because we know it?
hvd.hn1t94	As it was, we had a servant on guard every night, you know. ”"Inside the house? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1t94	But first tell me, have you a hand- bag that will hold it? ” He told her he had.
hvd.hn1t94	But from where?
hvd.hn1t94	But how about that infernal light — the blue circle?
hvd.hn1t94	But was there any one else he should tell?
hvd.hn1t94	But — why had the door closed?
hvd.hn1t94	But, by the way, if the servants were on guard, why the deuce had n't they heard some of the sounds that had disturbed him?
hvd.hn1t94	But- would it be too much if I- asked you something?"
hvd.hn1t94	By the way, how about the cook and Violet? ”"They're dead ones.
hvd.hn1t94	By the way, it was only for a few 212 THE BLUE CIRCLE seconds that he recovered consciousness, I think you said?"
hvd.hn1t94	Con- tempt?
hvd.hn1t94	Did Miss Campbell drink her sherry?"
hvd.hn1t94	Did they hear the yells on land?"
hvd.hn1t94	Did y'ever notice his eyes?"
hvd.hn1t94	Did you do all that yourself? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Did you imagine I did n't know you?"
hvd.hn1t94	Do n't you at least count aloud? ” Miss Campbell was again lifting the baby to the sun- dial.
hvd.hn1t94	Do n't you think he may come to sooner? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Do you mind if I get out and take the wheel? ” Verity looked startled.
hvd.hn1t94	Doncha think so? ” Renshaw vaguely murmured that one dollar was less than two.
hvd.hn1t94	Flash- light effect, of course, but where were you? ”"Aw, what's the use?
hvd.hn1t94	Flash- light effect, of course, but where were you? ”"Aw, what's the use?
hvd.hn1t94	From what?
hvd.hn1t94	Got that?"
hvd.hn1t94	Had he heard the Thing?
hvd.hn1t94	Had he seen the blue circle?
hvd.hn1t94	Had it, perhaps, extended its activities to Campbell's wing of the house?
hvd.hn1t94	Had n't he, instead, added the capstone to the tower- ing structure of his misery?
hvd.hn1t94	He dared not ask for them — or dared he?
hvd.hn1t94	He heard the doctor's HIS OWN MAN 353 voice, that of the nurse, and then the most wonder- ful voice in the world:"Is Mr. Renshaw there?
hvd.hn1t94	He knows all about my plan and highly approves of it. ” “ Dick approves of my- my buying you?"
hvd.hn1t94	He ought to do something about it, but what could he do?
hvd.hn1t94	He was lying in his bedroom, on the floor. ” “ Hurt?
hvd.hn1t94	Here — what y'doin'?"
hvd.hn1t94	How did he know the ladies would be willing to take him back in the car?
hvd.hn1t94	How did you arrange that?"
hvd.hn1t94	How much did David Campbell know?
hvd.hn1t94	I suppose you can make him comfortable?"
hvd.hn1t94	I'll do anything I'm told. ”"Anything? ” Campbell spoke with sudden mean- ing.
hvd.hn1t94	I'm glad he's back. ”"Anything more I can do, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	Is he any one in particular? ” “ Rather!"
hvd.hn1t94	Is it really only stuck or- is it locked? ” 255 256 THE BLUE CIRCLE She spoke quite naturally.
hvd.hn1t94	Is that correct? ”"Yes."
hvd.hn1t94	It was the second man who spoke now: “ What's your name?"
hvd.hn1t94	It's well he did, sir, is n't it? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Jenks hesitated, then made his plunge with an almost perceptible gulp of distaste: “ Any- thing you wish changed, sir? ”"Certainly not.
hvd.hn1t94	Jenks saw two others — several times. ”"And that's all they reported? ”"Absolutely all. ” Verity started to descend the staircase.
hvd.hn1t94	Jenks spoke:"All right now, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	May I assume that you know about it?"
hvd.hn1t94	No doubt it accounts for their changed manner to- day. ” “ Why did you do it?"
hvd.hn1t94	Nothing was too much trouble, was it?
hvd.hn1t94	Now why did n't you get off with the stuff before I came — and while you had a chance?
hvd.hn1t94	Now, will you let me make you as comfortable as I can?"
hvd.hn1t94	Or was he, now that the thing had gone?
hvd.hn1t94	Or was it only the result of some physical condition due to the old man's age?
hvd.hn1t94	Pity?
hvd.hn1t94	Renshaw had one more question:"Is that all you know — and all that you and Mr. Campbell meant by what you said? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Renshaw will use that room, unless, after he has tried it, he prefers another. ” What did Campbell mean by that?
hvd.hn1t94	Say, does that go?"
hvd.hn1t94	See?
hvd.hn1t94	Shall we ride this morning, Leoni? ” She turned to the woman as if the young man were no longer there.
hvd.hn1t94	She appears to be her grandchild. ”"The halls and bedrooms are looked after by Annie? ” Renshaw had returned to practical details.
hvd.hn1t94	She might of killed Miss Campbell. ” “ And you did n't want that? ” “ Of course I did n't."
hvd.hn1t94	She writes the menus for the day every morning, and gives them to me. ”"You do the ordering and marketing? ” “ Yes, sir, mostly by telephone.
hvd.hn1t94	Stanley, for example?
hvd.hn1t94	Suppose that hurry call to New York had some- thing to do with Madame Hvoeslef's leather case?
hvd.hn1t94	Suppose we take Jenks with us, after THE SEARCH 291 CO the card game, and go through the place thor- oughly? ” “ You're on.
hvd.hn1t94	THE CLOSED DOOR 247 “ You're sure you have time? ”"Quite sure.
hvd.hn1t94	That's easy, is n't it? ”"I suppose so. ” Renshaw was not sure whether it would be wise or not.
hvd.hn1t94	Then I will get Doctor Stanley on the telephone- unless there's something more urgent here, sir? ”"No.
hvd.hn1t94	Then you came prepared to stay? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1t94	Then, “ Might I ask just how it happened, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	There's no one else around that I have n't seen or heard of? ”"No one but the cook, sir.
hvd.hn1t94	There's some- thing almost repellent in him, something a little- ALONG COMES VERITY 33 oh, what is the word?
hvd.hn1t94	Unconscious? ”"I do n't know.
hvd.hn1t94	Under the influence of the feeling, he spoke on an impulse:"Jenks, do you want to know why I sent Rickett back?"
hvd.hn1t94	Was it merely because he realized that the open betrayal of his antagonism had been unwise?
hvd.hn1t94	Was n't it sad?
hvd.hn1t94	Was n't that it? ”"You are making it entirely too strong,"she pro- tested warmly.
hvd.hn1t94	We have decided to make a search to- night. ” “ Now, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	Were n't you all rather anxious until that was safe?"
hvd.hn1t94	What I want to know is, what's going to happen to me under this absurd arrangement?
hvd.hn1t94	What difference did it make what the girl or any one else knew or thought?
hvd.hn1t94	What else can I do? ” she added, almost to herself.
hvd.hn1t94	What had happened in that room before he fell?
hvd.hn1t94	What kind of noises?"
hvd.hn1t94	What other rooms are on this floor? ” She told him as they walked down the corridor toward the left wing.
hvd.hn1t94	What were they like, sir, if I may ask? ” Renshaw turned to Morris.
hvd.hn1t94	What's the breakfast- hour here?"
hvd.hn1t94	What's the meaning of them, anyway?
hvd.hn1t94	What's the use of making a fuss about it? ”"Please do n't take that tone.
hvd.hn1t94	Where do I get off? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Where shall we begin? ” “ Just where we are.
hvd.hn1t94	Where were you with that flash- light? ”"Tree. ”"Oh, that would be it.
hvd.hn1t94	Where's your imagination?
hvd.hn1t94	Whereas, if I were actually bought for a year, I'd be off my own mind; do n't you see? ” “ And on mine,"Campbell dryly commented.
hvd.hn1t94	Who could help noticing it?
hvd.hn1t94	Who would want to?
hvd.hn1t94	Who, for example, orders the meals? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Who?
hvd.hn1t94	Why did n't the Thing come and have its visit over?
hvd.hn1t94	Why had they repudiated him?
hvd.hn1t94	Why not have Hart drive you around for an hour or so before dinner? ”"Thank you, sir; perhaps I will."
hvd.hn1t94	Why not look at the situation sensibly?"
hvd.hn1t94	Why should I?
hvd.hn1t94	Why should I? ”"I'd hate it like the devil,"Campbell cheerfully admitted.
hvd.hn1t94	Why the 38 THE BLUE CIRCLE devil was the fellow so persistent?
hvd.hn1t94	Why would any one shut it?
hvd.hn1t94	Why, and from what?
hvd.hn1t94	Will you be good enough to remember that? ” Renshaw flushed and bit his lip.
hvd.hn1t94	Will you draw that chair a little closer and sit down facing me, please?
hvd.hn1t94	Would you feel better if you called out?
hvd.hn1t94	Would you'a'thought, when I met you yes'day, that you an'me would be out here t'gether to- day? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	Yet who could have administered the push?
hvd.hn1t94	You dropped that through the transom of the up- stairs study, did n't you?
hvd.hn1t94	You gave me the wrong one? ” He was trying to follow her, but something seemed wrong with his mind.
hvd.hn1t94	You have just come from town and from Doctor Stan- ley?"
hvd.hn1t94	You have no com- plaint to make? ” she added jestingly.
hvd.hn1t94	You will forgive the seal? ” She handed him an envelope addressed in a pointed, foreign handwriting.
hvd.hn1t94	You're not minding this very much, are you? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	coune, I “ Anything more, sir? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	demanded Renshaw irritably,"when I'm kept awake by the infernal noises?
hvd.hn1t94	over to the Wainley station this morning and get my trunk? ” The immobile mask of Jenks's face was disturbed by an expression of surprise.
hvd.hn1t94	“ A fear of the responsibility for my own life and self- support, a fear that amounts to a nightmare. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1t94	“ A shock, I'm afraid. ”"Is he- dying? ” “ No — no, indeed.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Again, sir? ” In his amazement, Jenks dropped his perfect manner.
hvd.hn1t94	“ And I have n't forgotten your grandfather's in- structions to watch. ”"You do n't think that meant anything new?
hvd.hn1t94	“ And they never heard or saw anything?".
hvd.hn1t94	“ And you're quite sure he will get well? ” The THE CLOSED DOOR 241 girl's low voice was suddenly unsteady.
hvd.hn1t94	“ And your room is all right?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Any instructions, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Anything else, sir? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Are there any long windows and balconies any- where? ” he wanted to know.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Are you hurt? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	“ But how about mine?
hvd.hn1t94	“ But what did he mean by telling you to'watch'? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Can we assume that her enemies know they are in a safe place?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Did n't he and his mother and sister and little niece drift around in a life- boat all night, after their ship was torpedoed?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Did you bring any luggage? ”"A bag.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Do I understand you to say that Stanley actually approves of this mad notion of yours? ” A MAN CAST DOWN 25"Yes, sir.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Do you mean that you have already heard or seen anything unusual? ” he quickly asked.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Do you really think so? ” For a moment she seemed to pull herself together.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Give her a chancet, will you?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Hart? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1t94	“ How many letters have I given you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1t94	“ I hope you will forget it. ” “ How the dickens can I forget it?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ I suppose it's all right? ” he added.
hvd.hn1t94	“ In that room?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Is Mr. Campbell at home? ” Renshaw was fum- bling for his card.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Is that all he said?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Is there anything in the world that I can say or do to reassure you? ” She gulped like a penitent child.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Meaning the servants, or the family, or both?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Merely —"“ Merely what? ” Campbell spoke with unusual sharpness.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Miss Wanda?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Noises, sir? ” he repeated with interest.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Nothing in the world you could ask me would be too much. ”"Then — then, will you, if you're not too tired- stay somewhere near?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Oh- do you think he'll come soon?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Say, ” she said again,"what'll I do with me stock certif'cate?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Shall I stop, sir? ” he added politely.
hvd.hn1t94	“ So you're English, too? ”"I was born in England, sir; but I've been in America a good many years. ” The manner of Jenks returned to normal.
hvd.hn1t94	“ That is understood, is it not?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ That looks as if he was pretty sick, does n't it, sir?
hvd.hn1t94	“ That's the idea, is n't it? ” The face of Campbell brightened, but his eyes did not meet the young man's.
hvd.hn1t94	“ That's why you wanted me to sit down, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ The doctor, sir? ” he said, answering Renshaw's words before the latter had finished speaking.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Then your property is safe — and I delivered the case you gave me? ” he asked slowly.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Then- you mean — you had two cases?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Things?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Useful?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Was it?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ What can I say?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ What can you do, really, that is worth a salary? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	“ What do you want to know?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ What happened the night Campbell was stricken? ” He had to do considerable prodding before the question was answered.
hvd.hn1t94	“ What kind of noises? ” “ That's all I can say, sir.
hvd.hn1t94	“ What makes you think that? ” “ Things I've heard and seen. ” “ Good Lord!"
hvd.hn1t94	“ What other could undertake it?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ What the deuce is the matter with her? ” Ren- shaw was addressing Hart as man to man.
hvd.hn1t94	“ What were they? ” “ That's what I'm asking you."
hvd.hn1t94	“ What you doin'here? ” Renshaw had turned as she spoke, in automatic obedience to an impulse of curiosity.
hvd.hn1t94	“ What's she doing? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1t94	“ What's the good of trying to brain me with a kitchen stool?
hvd.hn1t94	“ When do you want to begin? ”.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Who is she?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Why did you do that? ” “ I did n't!"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Why not have the place searched, if you feel that way?
hvd.hn1t94	“ Why would n't it do to accept a situation on salary? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Will that be all right, We- wee?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Will that do?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Will you be so very kind as to fetch it here? ” He ran up to his room and brought down the hand- bag.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Will you — ah — elucidate? ” Campbell was watching him closely.
hvd.hn1t94	“ Would n't you-mind it?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ Would you like a contract? ” he asked at last.
hvd.hn1t94	“ You brought a trunk, sir?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ You do n't know much about children, do you?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ You do n't think he will die, do you?"
hvd.hn1t94	“ You heard noises last night? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hn1t94	“ You see? ” she breathed.
hvd.hn1t94	“ You will not mind that, to- morrow morning — to take the IIO THE BLUE CIRCLE train at ten o'clock and to return at five?
hvd.hn1t94	“ You will?
hvd.hn1t94	“ You'll go?"
hvd.hn67cu	... How long did the savages mean to continue this unspeakable torture?
hvd.hn67cu	... What's this?
hvd.hn67cu	67 scendant of the Prophet?"
hvd.hn67cu	?!
hvd.hn67cu	After all, why should not a scien- tific light have a romance of his own as well as other people?
hvd.hn67cu	And if it were really a slave- dhow, why run headlong right into it?
hvd.hn67cu	And then next, can we get a boat to put away to sea in?!
hvd.hn67cu	And you, strangers, in turn, whither bound?
hvd.hn67cu	Are there any more left alive of you? ” Mona clung to him still, with a natural im- pulse of affection, but shook her head mourn- fully.
hvd.hn67cu	Are they firing at us?"
hvd.hn67cu	Besides, even if we were to dismount, what good would that possibly do us?
hvd.hn67cu	But if I let one soldier offer himself, what can I say to the others? ” Wilfrid's lip trembled visibly.
hvd.hn67cu	But what ought I to do with it?
hvd.hn67cu	But what will you do for the immediate present?"
hvd.hn67cu	Can you let me see her?
hvd.hn67cu	Could he let Mona fall into this vile wretch's hands?
hvd.hn67cu	Could it be fancy or was it reality?
hvd.hn67cu	Dishonor or death?
hvd.hn67cu	Excuse my asking you, Greatrex, but have you any idea, my dear fellow, whether your friend is inclined to be a little cracky?"
hvd.hn67cu	Great Heavens, what was this?
hvd.hn67cu	Had the Arabs discovered the dead bodies of their companions in the deserted camp, and made haste to put forth a clumsy dhow to take vengeance?
hvd.hn67cu	He's grimacing and contorting himself in the most extraordinary fashion. ”"Well, monkeys often do grimace, do n't they?"
hvd.hn67cu	How could they do without it?
hvd.hn67cu	However, he had only thoughts for one thing now: would Hetty die or would she recover?
hvd.hn67cu	Is he mad?
hvd.hn67cu	Is it your wish, then, Presbyter John Owen, to dedicate your only son to this ministry?"
hvd.hn67cu	Is n't that an island, too, on our weather side?
hvd.hn67cu	Kill every man, woman, or child of the infidels?"
hvd.hn67cu	Let me have the manuscript to look over, and see how you've worked out those beautiful calculations about the square root of Pi, will you?"
hvd.hn67cu	Mona asked with her eyes: “ Are there more than these two? ” And Wilfrid answered her promptly in the same dumb language.
hvd.hn67cu	Mona clapped her hands to her ears in alarm once more. “What's that?"
hvd.hn67cu	Only one boat following?"
hvd.hn67cu	Or might it be one more delusion, showing that his brain was now giving way entirely?
hvd.hn67cu	So that's the way the wind blows in your quarter, is it?
hvd.hn67cu	This is Wilfrid Moyle, come alone to deliver us?"
hvd.hn67cu	Was it a very serious matter?
hvd.hn67cu	Was it his duty to save her from disgrace and dishonor?
hvd.hn67cu	Were they missed then, and pursued?
hvd.hn67cu	What could be the secret which papa would not tell her?
hvd.hn67cu	What have they done with your own things and your friend's, dear Mona?"
hvd.hn67cu	What shall I do with it?"
hvd.hn67cu	What was that the old sheikh in the other cave had said?
hvd.hn67cu	What was the matter with Miss Hetty, then?
hvd.hn67cu	What's that?"
hvd.hn67cu	What, did n't he know that?
hvd.hn67cu	Where go you?"
hvd.hn67cu	Which is the road to Matafu?"
hvd.hn67cu	Who are you?"
hvd.hn67cu	Who can it be?
hvd.hn67cu	Why could she never marry him?
hvd.hn67cu	Why had n't they killed Mrs. D'Arcy and Mona when they killed the rest of the Lord Mayo's passen- gers?
hvd.hn67cu	Why had not Arthur come yesterday?
hvd.hn67cu	Why was papa so cruel as not to tell her the reason?
hvd.hn67cu	Why waste and destroy such good, useful cattle? ”.
hvd.hn67cu	Wilfrid Moyle put his hands together and shouted in return, in a somewhat trembling voice: “ What do you want?
hvd.hn67cu	Would her turn come next?
hvd.hn67cu	Would her turn never come?
hvd.hn67cu	You do n't mean to say you object to operations upon a monkey for his own benefit, do you?
hvd.hn67cu	You remember, of course, about Wilfrid Moyle?
hvd.hn67cu	but what he may round upon the Church, and go back upon us after we've paid for his eddica- tion?
hvd.hn67cu	ly raised between them?
hvd.hn67cu	this way, and should we wait where we are, and try to attract its attention?".
hvd.hn67cu	what on earth could this mean?
hvd.hn67cu	what was this?
hvd.hn67cu	“ And do you think them priests of Midian still?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ And now, dear, how long has this been going on between you and Wilfrid?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Are you willing, my son Paul, ” asked the Apostle, gravely, “ to take upon yourself the task that the Church proposes?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ But he ran away from home and enlisted, did n't he?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ But how did you come here,"he asked, “ and in these dresses, too?
hvd.hn67cu	“ But what cara- van is this, and where do you come last from 1"“ Have you no nose on your face that you have n't found that out already?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Have they followed?
hvd.hn67cu	“ How long has what been going on?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ How soon, my child?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Must we go back by night alone through all that terrible desert?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Must we go right on through the heat?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Oho,"she said quietly, in a low, still voice, “ so that's how the wind blows, is it, Mona?
hvd.hn67cu	“ Was there ever such an unfortunate profession as medicine for a man in love? ” he asked himself, half angrily.
hvd.hn67cu	“ What land's that ahead?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ What on earth do you mean, Harry?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ What's that speck over yonder?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ What's this, Arthur?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Where are we?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ Why did n't I go and be a parson or a barrister, or anything else that would have kept me from mixing up such incongruous associations?
hvd.hn67cu	“ Why should you have a better chance of distinguishing yourself, my man, than any other soldier?
hvd.hn67cu	“ Why, what is it?"
hvd.hn67cu	“ You do n't mean to say that you've finally written out that splendid idea of yours about the interrela- tions of energy?".
hvd.hn1jhj	A suicide? hvd.hn1jhj Afraid?
hvd.hn1jhj	And the mysterious notes to you about Viola having a poison book? ”. hvd.hn1jhj And yet he might have shared them with — with another person?''
hvd.hn1jhj	Another diamond cross mystery? ” he asked the colonel. hvd.hn1jhj Any- thing new or startling? ”"Nothing,"was the somewhat listless reply.
hvd.hn1jhj	Are you going back to Lakeside? ”Oh, yes! ” There was prompt decision in the answer.
hvd.hn1jhj	Are you sure, Dr. Baird? ” he asked. hvd.hn1jhj As for my father's affairs being in danger financially- Aunt Mary, did you ever hear of such a thing?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Beastly fine day, eh, what?
hvd.hn1jhj	But why ca n't he get out on bail?
hvd.hn1jhj	But why did he hide these letters away?
hvd.hn1jhj	But why should they subpæna me? ” asked Bart- lett. hvd.hn1jhj But you know how he comes to be there? ”"Ves.
hvd.hn1jhj	Did he go fast?
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you interfere with it?
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you see him? ” asked her aunt, when Viola, much dispirited, returned home. hvd.hn1jhj Did you see that, Harry?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you think I was never coming?
hvd.hn1jhj	Do you believe in me, Minnie? ” asked the man brokenly. hvd.hn1jhj Do you mean that Mr. Carwell was a drug user?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Do you want to take any more? ” he asked meaningly. hvd.hn1jhj Does he have an official announcer? ” “ No, but you'll hear his car before you see it."
hvd.hn1jhj	Does he know the poison used?
hvd.hn1jhj	Dr. Rowland. ” “ Will there be a coroner's inquest, such as I have read about? hvd.hn1jhj Excuse me, ” he said, deferentially enough, for he saw the type of man with whom he had to deal,"but are you not Colonel Ashley?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Fast? hvd.hn1jhj For me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Forette? hvd.hn1jhj From whom, then, if I may ask? ”"From Spotty. ” And again Bartlett smiled.
hvd.hn1jhj	Hardly any of the veterans are here yet. ”Has Mr. Carwell arrived?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Have I got to play?
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you any books on poisons? ” he asked. hvd.hn1jhj Have you any papers to show that Captain Poland acknowledged the receipt of the fifteen thousand dollars owed to him by Mr. Carwell?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you come from the safe company?
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you heard any rumors that Mr. Carwell is in financial difficulties? ”Why, no!
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you learned anything more? ” Viola asked timidly. hvd.hn1jhj Have you lost money?".
hvd.hn1jhj	He is not coming yet, Mazi? ” asked the woman in French. hvd.hn1jhj He must have, for I saw him going over the books several times. ”"Do you think this knowledge impelled him to to end his life? ” faltered Viola.
hvd.hn1jhj	He'll be in jail, though, wo n't he?
hvd.hn1jhj	Here is the number,and the pretty girl ex- tended to him a slip which read: 58 C. H.-161*"What is the star for?"
hvd.hn1jhj	How about the captain? ”He's a puzzle, at present.
hvd.hn1jhj	How is your golf? ” was the unexpected answer. hvd.hn1jhj How so? ” asked the captain.
hvd.hn1jhj	How? hvd.hn1jhj I beg pardon,"said the one who had already spoken, “ but did we interfere with your fishing? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	I do n't know all de'ticklers, Miss Viola, but I heah him say he got t'git a book on poisons. ”A book on poisons?"
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder if I shall be shocked when I read them?
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder if he can be a dope fiend? ” mused the colonel. hvd.hn1jhj I wonder if some one is looking for me? ”'256 The Golf Course DUTSe Mystery"Surely.
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder if the colonel is coming?
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder if there can be anything the matter with our car?
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder,mused Colonel Ashley,"whether he takes Scotch Highballs or absinthe, and what dope he mixes with it?
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder,mused the colonel, as he started for the car where Jean awaited him,"what or who or where the Allawanda is?
hvd.hn1jhj	I would hesitate very long before saying so,answered Dr. Lambert,"and I have known him many years. ”"Then what was it?
hvd.hn1jhj	If he is not — who then?
hvd.hn1jhj	Is anything the matter?
hvd.hn1jhj	Is he all right? hvd.hn1jhj Is it on the ground that it might incriminate you?''
hvd.hn1jhj	Is n't there anything you can do I mean toward — toward the- case?
hvd.hn1jhj	Is there anything I can do for you?
hvd.hn1jhj	Is there anything new here? ” and Minnie Webb's face showed a momentary interest. hvd.hn1jhj Is this all that you heard, Miss Webb?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Is this all you came to tell — that Mr. Carwell was a suicide? hvd.hn1jhj Is we is yo'done on dish yeah case, Colonel?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Minnie?
hvd.hn1jhj	Nothing of importance, I am sorry to say. ”But you are working on it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, Harry, have you heard the terrible news? ”'faltered Viola. hvd.hn1jhj Oh, have n't you found out anything yet?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, is n't it terrible, Colonel? ” began Viola. hvd.hn1jhj Oh, must we tell — them? ” exclaimed Captain Poland in startled tones.
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, were you speaking to me?
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, what does it mean? ” and, worried and heartsick, lest she should have made a mistake, she sat looking dumbly at Viola. hvd.hn1jhj On the theory, I suppose, of in any trouble, look for the lady?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Poisons? ” She looked up at him, startled, a flush mantling her fair cheeks. hvd.hn1jhj Positive. ”"Could it be some formula for poison? ”"It could not.
hvd.hn1jhj	Really? hvd.hn1jhj Right for once?
hvd.hn1jhj	Seen the Carwells'new machine? ” asked Bart- lett. hvd.hn1jhj Shag — Where's that black boy of mine?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Shall we call on him, Viola?
hvd.hn1jhj	Shocked you, did I, kid? hvd.hn1jhj So you have a hand in the game, have you, my dear?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Somebody trying to press wild flowers? ” asked Jack. hvd.hn1jhj Still up? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1jhj	Then is it to be believed that my father was a suicide?
hvd.hn1jhj	Then the jury may consider that already before it?
hvd.hn1jhj	Then you have n't finished that unfortunate af- fair? hvd.hn1jhj Then you'll come with me to see her, Colonel Ashley?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Was it ever paid back? ” asked Colonel Ashley. hvd.hn1jhj Was there something you did not like?
hvd.hn1jhj	Well, Harry is still held, but I imagine he'll be released soon, Jack. ”Nothing on him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Well, LeGrand Blossom and Captain Poland will help us. ”Captain Poland?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Well, that is not unusual, is it? hvd.hn1jhj What do you make of it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What do you mean? ”Well, things do n't look so well as they did.
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	What is your motion, then?
hvd.hn1jhj	What's the matter, Horace? hvd.hn1jhj What's the matter, Lee?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What's the matter- in a hurry?
hvd.hn1jhj	What's the matter? ” asked the colonel, quickly. hvd.hn1jhj When does the cup- winners'match start? ” asked Bartlett, as the four young men sat about the table under the veranda.
hvd.hn1jhj	Where? ” inquired the captain. hvd.hn1jhj Who is there?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Who would know? ”'asked Colonel Ashley. hvd.hn1jhj Why do n't you ask the colonel — or Captain Poland? ”!
hvd.hn1jhj	Why should Captain Poland try to throw sus- picion on him? hvd.hn1jhj Why? ” 47!
hvd.hn1jhj	Will it be difficult, do you think?
hvd.hn1jhj	Will you, Colonel? ” the big blonde woman asked eagerly. hvd.hn1jhj Would n't you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Yes, sah! ” “ Do you know what that was? ” “ No, sah, Colonel, I do n't. ”Well, that was a spirit manifestation of Izaak Walton.
hvd.hn1jhj	Yes?
hvd.hn1jhj	You came from her — from the daughter of Horace Carwell? ” he asked quickly. hvd.hn1jhj You do n't mean to tell me he's bought a yacht, too? ” “ Yes, the Osprey that Colonel Blakeson used to sport up and down the coast in.
hvd.hn1jhj	You have not yet found a place?
hvd.hn1jhj	You knew I'd come, did n't you?
hvd.hn1jhj	You mean about your father? hvd.hn1jhj You want me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	144 The Golf Course Mystery “ Would you let her go if you were I- go to see him? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1jhj	34 The Golf Course Mystery And as for fainting — why I believe I almost did it myself, just now, did n't I?"
hvd.hn1jhj	A Large Blonde Lady 211"Den it ai n't laik a fish; am it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	And so you came up to get away from the rather gruesome atmosphere down there? ” “ Not exactly.
hvd.hn1jhj	And then, as he made sure of the identity, the colonel mur- mured:"Poor fishing did I say?
hvd.hn1jhj	Are they tryin'to double- cross you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Are you going to marry me or not?
hvd.hn1jhj	Are you sure? ” asked LeGrand Blos- som, and his manner seemed a trifle more naturally excited.
hvd.hn1jhj	Asleep, were n't you? ”"Well, no, sah.
hvd.hn1jhj	Besides, he's pretty well anchored. ” “ You mean by Miss Viola?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Bigamy, it is not such a serious charge. ” “ Oh, did n't I tell you?
hvd.hn1jhj	Blossom should have attended to it, but he did not, it seems, and — Wo n't you tell them? ” she ap- pealed to Captain Poland.
hvd.hn1jhj	Blossom?"
hvd.hn1jhj	But I do n't mind now. ”"Oh, suppose there should be some — some dis- grace?"
hvd.hn1jhj	But I wonder what put the pep into you?
hvd.hn1jhj	But I've put the soft pedal on the partnership talk. ”"Has Mr. Carwell mentioned it of late? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1jhj	But are you sure Miss Car- well will be all right?"
hvd.hn1jhj	But he's a queer Dick. ”"How do you mean? ”"Well, sometimes he's a regular devil at driving.
hvd.hn1jhj	But just what do you want me to do? ” “ Come back with me if you will, Colonel Ashley.
hvd.hn1jhj	But must we go away?, Ca n't you get something else here? ” “ I think we must, yes."
hvd.hn1jhj	But must we go away?, Ca n't you get something else here? ” “ I think we must, yes."
hvd.hn1jhj	But rather out of keeping with the day. ” “ Out of keeping?
hvd.hn1jhj	But the fact re- mains that you are his wife. ”"And this other ceremony — this other woman?"
hvd.hn1jhj	But the kind of poison we have not yet determined. ”"But who gave it to him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	But what did you talk about?"
hvd.hn1jhj	But what is this about Captain Poland? ”!
hvd.hn1jhj	But what's the idea? ”"Nothing special, only I'd like to see if she tells you the same story she told me.
hvd.hn1jhj	But why did she scream so? ” Colonel Ashley did not stop to answer.
hvd.hn1jhj	But you tell me a'tory after? ”"Yes, I'll tell you a story. ” “ Will you tell me how you was a fissin', an'a big white ball comed an', zipp!
hvd.hn1jhj	But, speaking of Harry- poor chap- it's terrible, of course, but he may be able to clear him- self. ”"Clear himself, Captain Poland?

hvd.hn1jhj	CHAPTER XV POOR FISHING"Have a drink, Colonel? ” “ Eh?"
hvd.hn1jhj	CHAPTER XV POOR FISHING"Have a drink, Colonel? ” “ Eh?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Colonel, will you accept our hospitality?
hvd.hn1jhj	Did I hear some- thing about his going into partnership with your father?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Did he intimate to you anything of the kind? ” The colonel watched Viola narrowly as he asked this question.
hvd.hn1jhj	Did my father not treat you well?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you ever study chemistry? ”"As a girl in school, yes.
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you hear what I said just now — as you passed the door? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you resume friendly relations with Mr. Carwell after your quarrel with him that day?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Did you tell that, Captain Poland?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Do I have to pump you like a newspaper reporter?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Do you do you care for me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Do you know anything about this?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Flounder, was n't it? ”"Yes, though usually the birds are glad enough to get a moss- bunker.
hvd.hn1jhj	Had he heard his friend speak of feeling ill?
hvd.hn1jhj	Had they stopped at any place?
hvd.hn1jhj	Has anything happened? ” Her face was anxious.
hvd.hn1jhj	Has there been any hitch in the partnership arrange- ment? ” asked Minnie, “ No, not exactly."
hvd.hn1jhj	Have any of the matches started yet, Bruce? ” he asked, turning to the Human Encyclopædia.
hvd.hn1jhj	Have we money enough to go on living here and keeping up our big winter house?
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you any objection? ” “ Oh, I do n't know.
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you anything to tell me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Have you found out anything yet? ” the girl besought.
hvd.hn1jhj	He knew I had inherited eleven thousand dollars and had, moreover, made from in- vestments. ”"And did you agree to it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	He must have been killed, and if Harry Bartlett did n't do it who did? ”"I do n't know,"frankly replied the colonel.
hvd.hn1jhj	He seemed to nerve himself for an effort as he said:"Viola”—he paused a moment before adding- “ why ca n't we be friends?
hvd.hn1jhj	He wanted to see her-- to feast his hungry eyes on her — to hold her hand, to Oh, well, what was the use?
hvd.hn1jhj	Her father is dead. ”"Dead?
hvd.hn1jhj	How about it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	How are you? ” he cordially greeted a rather tall and dark girl who extended her slim hand to him.
hvd.hn1jhj	I am sorry, for I liked it here, though — Oh, well, of what use? ” and he shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn1jhj	I believe you are already put up at the club? ” “ Yes, Miss Carwell was kind enough to secure a visitor's card for me."
hvd.hn1jhj	I gave her a powder the doctor left for her, 42-"Why?"
hvd.hn1jhj	I suppose you know there is to be a coroner's inquest? ” he added to the girl.
hvd.hn1jhj	I think it's time to act. ” And he read:"Why does not the great detective arrest the poisoner of her father?
hvd.hn1jhj	I was to give him my answer the day he died. ” “ Did you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder if she is just beginning her game, or if this is merely a phase of it, started before Mr. Carwell's death?
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder if you could tell me who has it? ”"Why, yes, sir.
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder what it means? ” And so, when she greeted Colonel Ashley at the Over the Telephone 197 quested a maid, as he arose from the table.
hvd.hn1jhj	I wonder why they say the French are such a polite race?"
hvd.hn1jhj	I'll have my hands full with Blossom, Morocco Kate and some others. ” “ What about Poland and Bartlett?"
hvd.hn1jhj	I'm almost tempted to take your recipe. ”"Why do n't you? ” urged the colonel.
hvd.hn1jhj	I- er I done brung in — you ai n't no'jections to lookin'at papers now, has you? ” he asked hesitatingly.
hvd.hn1jhj	III “ Why? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	In fact, I-""Oh, is there something wrong?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Is Dr. Rowland here?
hvd.hn1jhj	Is he better?
hvd.hn1jhj	Is he hurt? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	Is n't it a shame we learn so much that we forget? ”!
hvd.hn1jhj	Is n't there any mitigating cir- cumstance?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Is some one hurt? ”"I do n't know,"answered Colonel Ashley.
hvd.hn1jhj	Is that true?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Is that — that French- man here — your chauffeur? ” “ Yes, he was here a little while ago.
hvd.hn1jhj	Is there is there any disgrace?
hvd.hn1jhj	It is getting on toward morning. ”"Have you anything to tell me, Colonel Ashley?"
hvd.hn1jhj	It was necessary to have an autopsy, I understand? ” she questioned.
hvd.hn1jhj	It was the truth. ”"Even if it sent him- sent Harry to jail? ”"I would- yes.
hvd.hn1jhj	It will do you both good. ”"But what about the case- solving the mystery?
hvd.hn1jhj	Just before his terrible death- it was terrible, was n't it?
hvd.hn1jhj	Lonely?
hvd.hn1jhj	Many a busi- ness man might do the same if he wanted to branch out, might n't he?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Minnie, who told you this? ”"I – I can not tell!"
hvd.hn1jhj	Never saw any one fish here be- fore; did we, Tom? ”"No."
hvd.hn1jhj	Now what shall we do?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, Captain Poland, if I"Captain Poland Confesses 163 “ Gone?
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, ca n't you find out for yourselves — in your own way, about his affairs?
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, how can I prove otherwise?
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, is he?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, what have you been doing for her?
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, what made him die? ” She questioned almost as a little child might have done.
hvd.hn1jhj	Oh, you will help me, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	One I could have I refused yesterday. ” “ You liked it with Mr. Carwell, then? ” “ Truly the situation was in itself delightful.
hvd.hn1jhj	Or are you done up because you beat me?
hvd.hn1jhj	Putting Out 23"Have you seen my father since he arrived, Jean? ” asked Viola.
hvd.hn1jhj	Shag is getting impatient. ”"Shag? ” “ Yes, he wants me to go fishing."
hvd.hn1jhj	Shall I see them for you? ”"Please do.
hvd.hn1jhj	Shall I tell Shag to fit you out with one of my rods? ” Viola hesitated a moment.
hvd.hn1jhj	Shall we tell her?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Shall we- all move?"
hvd.hn1jhj	So Miss Viola feels much sympathy for him, does she?".
hvd.hn1jhj	So Spotty gave you my address, did he?"
hvd.hn1jhj	So you want me to pay particular attention to this dope fiend? ” “ Yes, if he proves to be one, and I think he will.
hvd.hn1jhj	Spotty Morgan? ” “ Yes. ”"Are you — do you know him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Spotty Morgan? ” “ Yes. ”"Are you — do you know him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Sun too much for you? ” asked Major Wardell, as he leaned over his friend and rival.
hvd.hn1jhj	That my father committed suicide?"
hvd.hn1jhj	That was what you wanted, was it not? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1jhj	The Private Safe 175"Do you suppose the quarrel could have been about this?"
hvd.hn1jhj	The main question is, did he have an object in getting Mr. Carwell out of the way?"
hvd.hn1jhj	The message, given her by a maid, was to the effect: “ The safe man has come. ” “ The who? ” asked Viola, not at first understand- ing.
hvd.hn1jhj	The torn one with its strange reference:"As mem- bers of the same lo"What could it be?
hvd.hn1jhj	Then those letters and figures would mean nothing to you? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	Then you do n't love me any more?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Thomas, by any chance, a cat? ” asked Jack, who read the telegram the colonel handed him.
hvd.hn1jhj	Was it prophetic?
hvd.hn1jhj	Was it recently-suddenly? ” The Inquest 83 “ Yes.
hvd.hn1jhj	Was it some secret society to which her father and Gerry Poland belonged, the violation of the secrets of which carried a death penalty?
hvd.hn1jhj	We all know what the quarrel was about. ”"What? ” asked the colonel.
hvd.hn1jhj	We'll just go off by ourselves and be happy- won't we, Minnie? ”"I hope so, LeGrand.
hvd.hn1jhj	We, at times, did have differ- ence; as who has not?
hvd.hn1jhj	Well, are we all ready? ” The officials held a last consultation and an- nounced that play might start.
hvd.hn1jhj	What about our business affairs?
hvd.hn1jhj	What are the orders?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What are you staying up so late for, anyhow?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What did it all mean?
hvd.hn1jhj	What do I care? ” sneered Mazi, again shrugging her shoulders.
hvd.hn1jhj	What do you mean about papers in a private safe?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What do you mean? ” and indignant Viola faced her caller.
hvd.hn1jhj	What do you mean? ” cried Captain Poland sharply.
hvd.hn1jhj	What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What does it mean? ” and Viola bent her weary head down on the letters and her tears stained them.
hvd.hn1jhj	What else could it be? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	What for? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	What has happened?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What in the world does it all mean? ” asked Captain Poland.
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it all about?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it, my dear?
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	What is it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What made you so late? ”"I could not help it, sweetheart.
hvd.hn1jhj	What made you think of that?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What now remains to me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	What would you have?
hvd.hn1jhj	When I know I'm right"“ Could n't you forget it just once?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Where have you put him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Where is he? ”"In the library, ma'am. ” “ Very well.
hvd.hn1jhj	Where is he?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Where is she?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Where?
hvd.hn1jhj	Who is she?
hvd.hn1jhj	Who is she?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Who was it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Who was this this impossible person who claimed business relations, yes, even friendli- ness, with the late Mr. Carwell?
hvd.hn1jhj	Who would know about the money affairs? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1jhj	Why did he do it?
hvd.hn1jhj	Why did he go, Shag?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Why did you send me a note to meet you in this lonely place?
hvd.hn1jhj	Why not?
hvd.hn1jhj	Why should Horace Carwell kill himself?
hvd.hn1jhj	Why should they be under the false bottom of the drawer?"
hvd.hn1jhj	Why?
hvd.hn1jhj	Why?".
hvd.hn1jhj	Will you tell me dat fiss'tory? ” “ Yes, Gerry, I'll tell you that if you'll be quiet now."
hvd.hn1jhj	Will you?
hvd.hn1jhj	Wo n't you want either Viola or me here to help you? ”"I shall do very well by myself for a few days.
hvd.hn1jhj	Would the horrible tangle ever be straightened Blossom ’s Suspicions 145 out?
hvd.hn1jhj	Would you go there with me? ” “ Yes, LeGrand.
hvd.hn1jhj	You are steady and reliable, I presume?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You have n't found out what caused the death of Mr. Carwell? ”"Oh, yes, I know what killed him. ”"But not who?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You have n't found out what caused the death of Mr. Carwell? ”"Oh, yes, I know what killed him. ”"But not who?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You mean anything in his — private life?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You mean that something's bitten him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You mean?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You were decent enough to me some days ago, and now- Have I done anything — said anything?
hvd.hn1jhj	You'd go his bail, would n't you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	You've been there? ”"Once, at a reception.
hvd.hn1jhj	be changed. ”"You mean as to whether or not it was suicide? ” asked Captain Poland eagerly.
hvd.hn1jhj	knocked ze fiss off your hook?
hvd.hn1jhj	what do you mean?".
hvd.hn1jhj	with green Morocco Kate, Ally 281 “ And will — will Harry be cleared?"
hvd.hn1jhj	·"Do you mean about not believing that your father was a suicide? ” asked Minnie, in a low voice.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ A new clew?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ A subpæna?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ And did he have? ”"I think he did.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ And did my father set it that way?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Anyhow I did n't see anything. ” Did he forget that coming out of a light room into a dim hall was not con- ducive to good seeing?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Are you sure?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But I have heard that your father's affairs are involved, Viola. ” “ His affairs?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But are you well enough acquainted with him to have a talk with his sweet- heart?'
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But the law requires that such a fact be established to the satisfaction of the county physician. ” “ And who is he?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But what of it?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But why should I, Viola?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But why should he do such a thing?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ But you wo n't refuse to split a quart with me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Ca n't you go without me, Colonel Ashley?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Ca n't you say anything definite?".
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Ca n't you say anything? ” he asked, a bit sharply, looking from one physician to the other.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Close in?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Could it have been Miss Viola?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Did he ever speak of trouble with his heart, Viola? ” “ Never, Gerry.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Did the doctor say what killed him?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Did you bring it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Did you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Do n't Shag make an awful funny noise? ” “ He certainly does, Gerry!
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Do n't you, Mr. Blossom? ”"I- er- I do n't know what to think.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Do you hold to the suicide theory?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Do you think he knew, before his death, that his affairs were in such bad shape? ” asked the dead man's sister.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Do you think he was- Do you think this woman may make trouble?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Do you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Does Viola run it? ” “ I have n't heard.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Does yo'-does yo'mean a- ghost? ” “ You might call it that, Shag.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Had we better tell — her? ” and he motioned to- ward the house, on the steps of which they stood, Shag having pressed the bell for his master.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Has anything happened since I went away? ” “ No- no,"said Viola, rather hesitatingly.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Have you been to see Harry Bartlett in- in jail? ” and she faltered over that word.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ How much longer have you to stay here, Jean? ”"About two weeks.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ I hope the water is n't posted? ” he inquired anxiously, for he was a stickler for the rights of others.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ I suppose you know they have been looking for you? ”"Looking for me?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ I suppose you know they have been looking for you? ”"Looking for me?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ I wonder if they can be in another part of the safe?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Is n't that a picture?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Is the word'lodge'? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Is there anything I can do in your terrible trouble?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Is there room enough for you to work?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ It there a free public library in town, Jean? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Keen on what, Lee? ” and Minnie Webb leaned just the least bit nearer to his side.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Let me hear from you by the twenty- third, or""Oh, what does it mean?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Me?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Must we tell? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ New York?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ New horn? ” “ No, new car- new color- new everything!"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ No, I ca n't say that I have. ”"Then for goodness'sake what is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Oh, Uncle Add, what is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Oh, you're getting sentimental all at once, are n't you, Harry?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Please tell me the truth! ” “ The truth, Viola? ” he questioned gently.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Settle them?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Shall I tell her? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ So you have looked after Shag, have you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Soon?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ The de luxe game?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Then Mrs. Carwell is dead? ”"Oh, yes- some years.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Then there is n't a book giving the different sym- bols of chemicals? ”"Not that I know of,"Viola answered.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ There is, I regret to say, certainty. ” “ Certainty of what?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Was that unusual? ” “ Yes, it was.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Well, has your trip been satisfactory? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Well, you leave it to me, see?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What happened? ” “ By golly, Colonel!
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What has happened?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What is it? ” asked his companion.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What is that? ”"More than likely he will shy at having anything to do with the case.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What is to be done? ” asked Bartlett.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What was the nature of the talk?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What's it for?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What's the answer, in other words? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What's the row over there? ” asked Bartlett sud- denly, as he walked along with Viola and Captain Poland.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ What?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Where have you been, Gerry?".
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Who cried out like that?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Who is there?".
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Who is this woman? ” · The colonel considered a moment before reply- ing.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Who was that?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Why all this trouble for that?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Why can not you tell us, Miss Webb? ”.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Why do you bore me?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Why was that?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Will it make any difference to us? ” and Viola included her aunt in her gesture.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Will it take you long? ”"That is hard to say. ” “ Do you mind if I watch you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Will it take you long? ”"That is hard to say. ” “ Do you mind if I watch you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Will you be dining here, sir?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Will you be quiet? ” said LeGrand, and there was that in his voice which seemed to cow the blonde woman.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Wo n't you come in? ”"I do n't think so — not to- day, ” stammered the other girl.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Wo n't you sit down?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ Yes, Jack, I think we must pin it down to either the captain or Blossom. ”"Do you really think Blossom could have done it?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You are his lawful wife. ”"And he only told me I was n't, so as to shame me to make me leave him, and render me desperate?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You did n't expect to see me here, did you?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You do n't believe Harry did it, do you? ” Viola asked appealingly.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You do n't do you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You have n't had trouble with — with Viola, have you?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You mean Mazi? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You mean you have found out who killed Mr. Carwell? ” he asked, and his tongue went quickly around his dry lips.
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You mean?
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You were about to name some one?"
hvd.hn1jhj	“ You're not going to quit just because I was so unfortunate as to spoil your first catch, are you?"

hvd.32044021633326	A bed in one corner — an iron bed which must have been THE LADY IN BLACK 285 Robert Darzac spending the night in the New Castle?
hvd.32044021633326	Absurd?
hvd.32044021633326	After all, what had he to fear in this part of the country?
hvd.32044021633326	Ah, here is a mystery which might be easier to solve than THE LADY IN BLACK 269 listening?
hvd.32044021633326	And I have never seen her since. ” “ And you, my friend? ” “ I? ” “ Yes, what happened to you?

hvd.32044021633326	And content with what he has done, will he go away?
hvd.32044021633326	And has he ever had a chance to look at him like this?
hvd.32044021633326	And how was that? ” inquired Galitch, not losing his presence of mind for an instant.
hvd.32044021633326	And the Berniers?
hvd.32044021633326	And then what difference does it make where I am, since I do not sleep? ” We were both silent for a moment.
hvd.32044021633326	And then, after all, how did I know that Rouleta- bille did not agree with me?
hvd.32044021633326	And what had we to fight against?
hvd.32044021633326	And where was he THE LADY IN BLACK 151 going in that rackety old vehicle?
hvd.32044021633326	And who?
hvd.32044021633326	And why did all the others sit so silent and so motionless behind their dark glasses?
hvd.32044021633326	And why not from the Silurian epoch — or yet — or yet — from the Mag- dalenian epoch?
hvd.32044021633326	And why should his image and his songs pursue me thus?
hvd.32044021633326	And yet, had I followed them well, these clues?
hvd.32044021633326	And — and that is all?

hvd.32044021633326	Are you an angel, Edith?
hvd.32044021633326	Are you ill? ”/ Rouletabille had let himself sink into a chair.
hvd.32044021633326	Are you sure that he is dead now? ” “ I am perfectly sure, ” replied M. Darzac, simply.
hvd.32044021633326	Are you sure that you looked every- where?
hvd.32044021633326	As soon as I appeared, he closed the door and whispered: “ Well, did you fuel it, too?"
hvd.32044021633326	As we entered the station, he said: “ Why do n’t you give me the letter that you have for me? ” I gazed at him in amazement.
hvd.32044021633326	At the very moment when we believed that all was lost, is not, on the contrary, everything found?
hvd.32044021633326	At what moment?
hvd.32044021633326	Before I came up to him, he called out: “ Did you see him? ” “ Yes, I saw him, ” I replied.
hvd.32044021633326	Bernier had not gathered them up after Rouletabille had emptied out the bag?
hvd.32044021633326	But Mattoni — Mattoni — had he heard nothing, either?–Mattoni, who kept watch at the postern of the gardener?
hvd.32044021633326	But then, there was Edith — what about Edith?
hvd.32044021633326	But wait — here is Pere Simon back again! ” Why was Rouletabille so anxious to hide himself?
hvd.32044021633326	But we must hope — we must hope, must n't we, Sainclair, that he is mistaken?
hvd.32044021633326	But what could it be?
hvd.32044021633326	But what is the matter with you, my boy?
hvd.32044021633326	But what was to be done?
hvd.32044021633326	But what?
hvd.32044021633326	But when had any thought of danger or risk been able to deter Larsan from an undertaking upon which he had determined?
hvd.32044021633326	But where were they?
hvd.32044021633326	But where?
hvd.32044021633326	But why are you constantly looking around you?
hvd.32044021633326	By what means of ap- proach?
hvd.32044021633326	Ca n't you smell the perfume? ” And he hid himself behind a door, motioning me to continue without waiting for him.
hvd.32044021633326	Carriage? ” And then the quick last word which gave THE LADY IN BLACK 23 the signal for the departure.
hvd.32044021633326	Could he expose Larsan immediately and, perhaps, give him a chance to escape?
hvd.32044021633326	Could one have a better fortune than to be of service to the poor lady who has had so many troubles?
hvd.32044021633326	Darsac has come in, then? ” “ He got here almost as soon as you had left the tower, M. Sainclair.
hvd.32044021633326	Darzac and the Professor on the first floor of ‘ la Louve ’? ” “ The rooms are too small.
hvd.32044021633326	Darzac could have helped but see him 25 THE LADY IN BLACK 81 “ Are you sure that they did not see him? ” interrupted Robert Darzac.

hvd.32044021633326	Did I believe that Rouletabille ’s brain was becoming slightly turned?
hvd.32044021633326	Did Rouletabille realize it?
hvd.32044021633326	Did she fear arrest for me?
hvd.32044021633326	Do n't you think I am very learned?
hvd.32044021633326	Do n’t you think so, too? ” We could not answer.
hvd.32044021633326	Do you expect anyone? ” “ Yes, ” replied M. Hesse.
hvd.32044021633326	Do you know the type now?
hvd.32044021633326	Do you remember, “ The Presbytery has not lost its charm or the garden its brightness? ’ ” I pressed the boy ’s hand; it was burning hot.
hvd.32044021633326	Does he take me for his servant? ” Then he went back to his seat.
hvd.32044021633326	Edith attracted toward him?
hvd.32044021633326	Edith was playing off so many pretty airs?
hvd.32044021633326	Edith, asked each other, “ What is he saying?
hvd.32044021633326	Eleven o’clock'Where was Rouletabille?
hvd.32044021633326	For what purpose?
hvd.32044021633326	From the spot where we were now stationed, we could see nothing through this window, but was it not some- thing to be able to hear?
hvd.32044021633326	Go on to whom?
hvd.32044021633326	Had I been the victim of an illusion?
hvd.32044021633326	Had I the heart of a college boy?
hvd.32044021633326	Had he been wounded less seriously than we had believed?
hvd.32044021633326	Had he not said that he was going to tell me everything?
hvd.32044021633326	Had he seen it?
hvd.32044021633326	Had he seen me?
hvd.32044021633326	Had not Brignolles been reported as having gone to Sospel?
hvd.32044021633326	Had not the good fortune of Mathilde Stangerson and Robert Darzac been in a great measure brought about by his efforts?
hvd.32044021633326	Had she not chosen in this night of anguish to come to this altar decked with flowers there to pour out her prayers in solitude to the balmy air?
hvd.32044021633326	Has he found the ‘ hangman of the sea ’?
hvd.32044021633326	Have I not told you that my suspicion has been ban- ished — completely banished?
hvd.32044021633326	Have you decided that you were wrong about him? ” “ Indeed, I have not, ” was my response.
hvd.32044021633326	Have you ever had a desire to roar with the thunder?
hvd.32044021633326	He had not foreseen this moment then?
hvd.32044021633326	He is a great friend of Old B.,b. ” “ Ah, then you know the fisherman, madame? ” asked Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	How could he have made up his mind to quit his collections in America and his work and his drawings and his museum in Philadelphia?
hvd.32044021633326	How could this delicate little creature so quickly have impressed Arthur Rance, who had been madly in love with the majestic Mathilde?
hvd.32044021633326	How dare you harbor them? ” What thoughts?
hvd.32044021633326	How dare you harbor them? ” What thoughts?
hvd.32044021633326	How dare you?
hvd.32044021633326	How had he lived after leaving the school?
hvd.32044021633326	How had that man happened to be killed?
hvd.32044021633326	How had the attack been made?
hvd.32044021633326	How long did I stand gazing on the cross?
hvd.32044021633326	How quiet he was'What could it be that had given him such a strange calmness?
hvd.32044021633326	How then could he have conveyed your uncle in his boat late that night?
hvd.32044021633326	How was it that this idea had come to me that night for the first time?
hvd.32044021633326	How will you reason in a forest?
hvd.32044021633326	I am not late, I hope? ” It seemed to me that his voice trembled.
hvd.32044021633326	I asked her what frightened her and she looked at me wildly and said, “ And are n’t you afraid, too? ” I kept silence, for I was afraid, myself.
hvd.32044021633326	I do not believe that I can bear this torment for eight days! ” “ And where would you go? ” Rouletabille had asked him.
hvd.32044021633326	I felt a real pang of- was it grief or wounded self love?
hvd.32044021633326	I felt that I was not alone — who, then, could be near me?
hvd.32044021633326	I had seen them — but where were they gone now?
hvd.32044021633326	I heard a noise in the grotto. ” “ And you did not enter? ” demanded Arthur Rance.
hvd.32044021633326	I said to Rouletabille, scarcely daring to put into words what was in my mind: “ Old Bob? ” 146 THE PERFUME OF He did not answer.
hvd.32044021633326	I turned helplessly and as I did so, I felt a hand seize my wrist and a dark form cried out to me above the tempest: “ Where is he? ” It was Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	I understood why he had said this morning: “ Why did he not die?
hvd.32044021633326	I wo n't stay here alone. ” “ For whom are you going to look? ” “ For Prince Galitch. ” “ Your “ Feodor Feodorowitch""I cried.
hvd.32044021633326	If I should at- tempt to get into the same car as he, would he not be certain to see me in this little station or on the almost deserted platform?
hvd.32044021633326	In any case, I am sure that Tullio ’s little boat is an- chored near the Pointe de Garabaldi. ” “ You are sure of that? ” cried M. Darzac.
hvd.32044021633326	In thought of what?
hvd.32044021633326	Is everything safe now?
hvd.32044021633326	Is it not entirely ended? ” pleaded Mathilde.
hvd.32044021633326	Is not that your opinion? ” I listened to Rouletabille with admiration.
hvd.32044021633326	Is the sweet expression that your face wears to- day an entirely truthful one?
hvd.32044021633326	Is this gentle, plaintive little manner natural or acquired?
hvd.32044021633326	It was I who was not here. ” “ Who took you away? ” “ No one: I ran away. ” “ Why?
hvd.32044021633326	It was I who was not here. ” “ Who took you away? ” “ No one: I ran away. ” “ Why?
hvd.32044021633326	It was you who telephoned? ” THE LADY IN BLACK 181 “ I'I'” stammered M. Edouard Furet, almost breath- less with rage and astonishment.
hvd.32044021633326	Larsan ’s blood?
hvd.32044021633326	Let me hurry to the bank. ” “ What will you do there? ” moaned Mathilde.
hvd.32044021633326	M. Rance repeated, nervously: “ Why should we conceal anything?
hvd.32044021633326	My face is flushed, is it not?
hvd.32044021633326	No other injuries? ” “ Yes, ” I replied.
hvd.32044021633326	No, he was making a speech To whom?
hvd.32044021633326	Not a difficult trick — for a Larsan:) The voice?
hvd.32044021633326	Now, what had upset their plans?
hvd.32044021633326	One hour?
hvd.32044021633326	Pull his beard off?
hvd.32044021633326	Rance? ” asked the young reporter.
hvd.32044021633326	Revive a memory — an illusion?
hvd.32044021633326	Rouleta- bille saw what I was doing and said: “ What are you about?
hvd.32044021633326	Rouletabille — what other name did we know THE LADY IN BLACK 43 him by?
hvd.32044021633326	Rouletabille, do you accuse me of being an accom- plice of Larsan? ” “ I forbid you to pronounce that name! ” shouted the reporter.
hvd.32044021633326	Seek the trace of a perfume?
hvd.32044021633326	She had often said to him: “ Where were you brought up, my boy?
hvd.32044021633326	She never moved at our entrance, but her lips opened and a voice that I should never have recognized as hers, murmured: “ Why are you come?
hvd.32044021633326	She whispered to me, “ What is going on? ” Rouletabille was there before us with his hot water in the casserole, a napkin and his skull.
hvd.32044021633326	Some new misfortune?
hvd.32044021633326	Stan- gerson's fiancé had been accused of being the perpe- trator of the crimes committed by the other?
hvd.32044021633326	Stangerson or Rouletabille who had managed to find dark corners where M. Dar- zac's eyes could not be exposed to the sun?
hvd.32044021633326	Tell me, Sainclair — who is within these walls? ” “ What do I see within these walls? ” I echoed stu- pidly.
hvd.32044021633326	Tell me, Sainclair — who is within these walls? ” “ What do I see within these walls? ” I echoed stu- pidly.
hvd.32044021633326	The attack?
hvd.32044021633326	The bell on the engine began to sound its first slow strokes, and the calls of hack drivers began to arise: “ Carriage, Monsieur?
hvd.32044021633326	The nocturnal trip of M. Darzac to Castelar was one of them, with- out doubtſ? ” As she spoke, I could see the embarassment of M. and Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	The sentinel is to draw upon every person who does not reply to “ Who goes there? ’ and who is not recognized.
hvd.32044021633326	The story of the body which could not have gotten into the room is a page from the notebook of Satan himself"?
hvd.32044021633326	Then the door was opened and I heard Darzac's voice say- ing: “ Is it you, Sainclair?
hvd.32044021633326	Then the door was opened and I heard Darzac's voice say- ing: “ Is it you, Sainclair?
hvd.32044021633326	Then, dipping his brush º{{?
hvd.32044021633326	There are days when the sea is so clear that one may look down to the bottom. ” “ What shall we do, then?'
hvd.32044021633326	There is something in his walk which is not Darzac's — something in which I seem to recognize Larsan — but what?
hvd.32044021633326	This is an absolute certainty. ” Rouletabille looked at me for a moment and then said: “ Well, what does this amount to, now that you have it?
hvd.32044021633326	To Russia?
hvd.32044021633326	To THE LADY IN BLACK 61 what bloody conflict?
hvd.32044021633326	To her husband's arm| But this was not her husband?
hvd.32044021633326	To look for her? ” “ No- no!
hvd.32044021633326	Toward what was he resolved to go?
hvd.32044021633326	Two?
hvd.32044021633326	Upon his return from San Remo, M. Darzac had asked me: “ Well, how are you getting on with poor Brignolles?
hvd.32044021633326	Was he not happy at the prospect of the union so ardently desired by everyone?
hvd.32044021633326	Was it coming up or going down?
hvd.32044021633326	Was it there that the boy had bought those first new books for which the Lady in Black had paid?
hvd.32044021633326	Was she alone?
hvd.32044021633326	Was the voice that of a man or a woman?
hvd.32044021633326	We have lived with him?
hvd.32044021633326	What are you looking for?
hvd.32044021633326	What could Brig- molles be doing in these parts?
hvd.32044021633326	What could I have answered?
hvd.32044021633326	What could he be doing that detained him?
hvd.32044021633326	What did I tell you about him?
hvd.32044021633326	What did he expect?
hvd.32044021633326	What did he intend to do there?
hvd.32044021633326	What do I care for that?
hvd.32044021633326	What expiring breath had emitted that ter- rible sound?
hvd.32044021633326	What had given back to him the strength of his voice?
hvd.32044021633326	What had given this new firmness to his step and steadiness to his glance?
hvd.32044021633326	What had happened to alarm her?
hvd.32044021633326	What had the Lady in Black been doing in my bedroom?
hvd.32044021633326	What has happened?
hvd.32044021633326	What has this man come back to do to us?
hvd.32044021633326	What hostage would he have otherwise on the day when Mathilde should discover his imposture?
hvd.32044021633326	What is the charm about her?
hvd.32044021633326	What is there about her more than there is about myself who owe my husband to the fact that she refused him before he ever saw me?
hvd.32044021633326	What is there you know that you have not told me? ” “ I am going to tell you.
hvd.32044021633326	What new victory did the boy feel that he had achieved over the mystery?
hvd.32044021633326	What should Brignolles be doing in Nice?
hvd.32044021633326	What should the Prince from the Black lands be doing on the Azure shore with his Lithuanian melodies?
hvd.32044021633326	What was he about to say?
hvd.32044021633326	What was he doing here?
hvd.32044021633326	What was he doing now?
hvd.32044021633326	What was he planning?
hvd.32044021633326	What was he waiting for?
hvd.32044021633326	What was his opinion? ” “ He repeated: “ What Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	What was it that could have so deeply excited the savage?
hvd.32044021633326	What would Rouletabille say when I told him all about my adventure?
hvd.32044021633326	Where had old THE LADY IN BLACK 171 Bob's gayety vanished?
hvd.32044021633326	Where had we discovered him this time, we who were gazing at Rouletabille?
hvd.32044021633326	Where had we seen him?
hvd.32044021633326	Where is the body? ” M. Darzac replied.
hvd.32044021633326	Where was M. Darzac P Where was Old Bob P. Was he still work- ing in the lower basement of the Round Tower?
hvd.32044021633326	Where was Rouletabille?
hvd.32044021633326	Where was he going?
hvd.32044021633326	Where was our enemy?
hvd.32044021633326	While Bernier had been assassinated, had not Old Bob been quietly in his chamber, watched over by Mere Bernier herself?
hvd.32044021633326	Who could say that those two figures were not lying in wait for me behind a wall?
hvd.32044021633326	Who dared affirm that he knew of one such case?
hvd.32044021633326	Who had pronounced them?
hvd.32044021633326	Who has ever seen the color of it?
hvd.32044021633326	Who knows any- thing about Larsan ’s blood?
hvd.32044021633326	Who was dead?
hvd.32044021633326	Who was dying?
hvd.32044021633326	Who was it?
hvd.32044021633326	Who was living?
hvd.32044021633326	Who was speaking?
hvd.32044021633326	Who was this one?
hvd.32044021633326	Whom can we call to our aid? ” “ The authorities, ” suggested Arthur Rance.
hvd.32044021633326	Whose is this silhouette, which arises proudly in the front of the boat while another shade bends over a silent oar?
hvd.32044021633326	Whose voice would she hear? ” And then it was Robert who spoke.
hvd.32044021633326	Why did no one speak?
hvd.32044021633326	Why did she impose upon me such a criminal, horrible silence if she did not intend to recompense me for it by her love?
hvd.32044021633326	Why did she not draw the shades?
hvd.32044021633326	Why did she not open the door and admit him to help her husband?
hvd.32044021633326	Why did we all suddenly recoil with a single movement?
hvd.32044021633326	Why do n’t you confess?
hvd.32044021633326	Why had he gone away?
hvd.32044021633326	Why should he have chosen such a means of ven- geance?
hvd.32044021633326	Why should he tremble so to- day in the full splendor of the noon?
hvd.32044021633326	Why should she have feared?
hvd.32044021633326	Why should they hide the facts?
hvd.32044021633326	Why should we?
hvd.32044021633326	Why that scream of agony before she had appeared standing on the threshold of the tower?
hvd.32044021633326	Why this sinister gravedigger in this beautiful corner of the earth?
hvd.32044021633326	Why was Brignolles going to Sospel?
hvd.32044021633326	Why was it on account of Larsan that I bent my ears so anxiously to hear all that went on between those two?
hvd.32044021633326	Why was this?
hvd.32044021633326	Why?
hvd.32044021633326	Why?
hvd.32044021633326	Why?
hvd.32044021633326	Wiping the perspiration from his forehead, Roulet- abille remarked:- “ Sainclair, can you ever forget Larsan's eyes?
hvd.32044021633326	Without even asking my opinion| What does that fool of an editor think that I am going to do out there?
hvd.32044021633326	Would he dare to speak to her?
hvd.32044021633326	Would it not have been a better plan to let himself be seen before the marriage had taken place?
hvd.32044021633326	Would we never be free from murder?
hvd.32044021633326	Yes, under the existing conditions, where was the attack?
hvd.32044021633326	You have killed the shadow, but how do we know that it was Larsan, if 240 THE PERFUME OF you did not see his face?
hvd.32044021633326	You took M. Darzac's wire just as I did?
hvd.32044021633326	You trust Mattoni, do you not? ” “ Yes, monsieur, I trust Mattoni. ” “ Well, then, Madame, question him — question him.
hvd.32044021633326	You understand, Sainclair?
hvd.32044021633326	must I say it to you over again?
hvd.32044021633326	on wouzav( I out,-ºw I- ºne?
hvd.32044021633326	or was the song only an hallucination evoked by my memories?
hvd.32044021633326	that one of our own number had fallen beneath some fatal blow, as suddenly as though by some frightful pestilence?
hvd.32044021633326	two thousand years —?
hvd.32044021633326	was I going insane, I, too?
hvd.32044021633326	“ And Rouletabille? ” I asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ And how was this wound made? ” “ We do not know.
hvd.32044021633326	“ And she- my wife — do you know whether she saw him? ” “ She saw him, too.
hvd.32044021633326	“ And that shadow — that shadow had a face that you could see? ” interrupted Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ And what was M. Darzac saying all this time?
hvd.32044021633326	“ And who, then, has killed him? ” “ M.
hvd.32044021633326	“ And you have never known why the Lady in Black did not return? ” “ Oh ſ* cried Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Are n't you going to read the let- ter? ” “ No, ” he replied.
hvd.32044021633326	“ But are you sure? ” “ I have seen him as surely as I have seen you. ” “ And has Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ But how did you find out all these things? ” I d, manded of Roulet abille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ But how did you find out all these things? ” I demanded of Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ But where are the Berniers? ” cried Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Did he do anything of the sort in the Yellow Room? ” “ Oh, this is n't the same thing at all! ” I exclaimed.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Do you believe that story?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Do you know what she said to me yesterday?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Do you mean to say by that that he accused Old Bob? ” interrupted M. Rance indignantly, “ I will not 324 THE PERFUME OF suffer that.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Do you think that it can be Larsan ’s? ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044021633326	“ He is poor. ” “ Yes, but what does he do? ” The orange fisher shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044021633326	“ How dare you ask, Bernier?
hvd.32044021633326	“ How did you know? ” I exclaimed, betraying my secret without realizing that I was doing so.
hvd.32044021633326	“ How long do you think you can deceive your wife as to the fact that Larsan has reappeared and that she actually saw him?
hvd.32044021633326	“ I assure you it is quite futile. ” “ You believe so? ” demanded Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ I do n’t know — how can I know?
hvd.32044021633326	“ I fear so"?
hvd.32044021633326	“ I heard her. ” “ Well, what have you come here to tell me then? ” he went on, roughly.
hvd.32044021633326	“ In the Square Tower? ” cried Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Is M. Darzac still there? ” asked Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ It is where you wished it to be. ” “ Did you see his face? ” questioned Rouletabille excitedly.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Mamma, why did you not see the face?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Mattoni and the others? ” “ I am absolutely certain that none of them was absent from the Fort of Hercules when Larsan appeared to Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ May I look at it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ My dear Sainclair, will you be kind enough to pick up that cane? ” asked Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Of what use is it to be armed now? ” cried M. Darzac, shaking his head.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Old Bob has disappeared"And we all cried out with her: “ Old Bob has disappeared? ” “ Unfortunately, it is true! ” said Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ The young man? ” responded Bernier without hesi- tation.
hvd.32044021633326	“ There is n’t anything else to think, is there, Sainclair?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Trouble? ” questioned Rouletabille, briefly.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Upon Prince Galitch? ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Upon Prince Galitch? ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Upon whom? ” he asked with a trace of bitterness in his voice.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Very well. ” “ Neither you nor I, ” I continued, “ is Larsan. ” “ why? ” “ Why? ” I echoed.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Very well. ” “ Neither you nor I, ” I continued, “ is Larsan. ” “ why? ” “ Why? ” I echoed.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Well, how about the servants? ” I asked, with an effort.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Well, what do you say to that, M. Rouletabille? ” 170 THE PERFUME OF demanded the Prince.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Well, where was he then?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Well? ” I said.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What do you want with him?
hvd.32044021633326	“ What do you want, Sainclair? ” I told him all that I had heard and my opinion of him for his actions which had so deeply wounded Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What foolery is this? ” demanded Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What good did it do me to kill him? ” groaned M. Darzac.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What has happened? ” “ I do not know, ” she responded.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What have you to tell me?
hvd.32044021633326	“ What is Madame doing in Old Bob's sitting room? ” asked the reporter in a low voice.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What is the matter, Sainclair? ” whispered the lad, anxiously.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What is the matter? ” cried Mere Bernier, and the same instant they heard the voice of Mme.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What is your father's work? ” I asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What nonsense is this? ” he remarked carelessly, tearing it open.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What reason have you for thinking so? ” I de- manded.
hvd.32044021633326	“ What's the matter, Sainclair? ” whispered M. Henri- Robert, who must have noticed something odd in my expression.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Where are you going? ” I asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Where are you going? ” I asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Where is Bernier? ” I asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Who was dead?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why could n't you breathe before, my friend? ” asked M. Henri- Robert.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why did I fire the shot?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why did he not kill you then? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why did he not throw himself into my arms when I opened them to him? ” she moaned.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why did you try to strangle me, M. Rouletabille? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why is Prince Galitch not here? ” “ Again? ” I exclaimed, angrily.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why is Prince Galitch not here? ” “ Again? ” I exclaimed, angrily.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why is that, I wonder?
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why so many twists and turnings when it was so simple to go out by the gate? ” I could not restrain myself from exclaiming.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Why? ” asked Rouletabille.
hvd.32044021633326	“ Will you admit now that I was pretty well informed? ” The Lady in Black could not repress a sigh.
hvd.32044021633326	“ You fear so| Why, in Heaven ’s name? ” “ Because, ” he answered in a strange tone, which I could scarcely recognize as his.
hvd.hn1h5n	A handkerchief? ” questioned Kent as the detective did not unfold the white muslin, but held it with care. hvd.hn1h5n And where did you find them the next morn- ing?
hvd.hn1h5n	And who told you of the attempted burglary and the burglar's arrest? ” asked Penfield. hvd.hn1h5n Can I help?
hvd.hn1h5n	Could it be that Turnbult found out that Rochester was passing forged checks, and Roch- ester insured his silence by poisoning him? hvd.hn1h5n Did I what?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Did you find any doors or windows un- locked? hvd.hn1h5n Did you recognize and talk with Jimmie Turnbull in your house? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	Do I understand that Philip Rochester is out of town? ” inquired Mrs. Brewster. hvd.hn1h5n Do?
hvd.hn1h5n	Have you seen Mr. Clymer? ” he asked hur- riedly. hvd.hn1h5n He is in Cleveland; I do n't know just when he will be back. ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hn1h5n	Heat too much for you? ” asked a kindly- faced stranger, and Kent gave a mumbledNo,"as he strove to pull himself together.
hvd.hn1h5n	I have been with them since the first of the month. ” “ Did you attend the Grosvenor dance? ” asked the coroner. hvd.hn1h5n I took Miss McIntyre's word for the house, for I had the burglar safe under arrest. ” “ How did Miss McIntyre appear? ” “ Appear?
hvd.hn1h5n	I took Miss McIntyre's word for the house, for I had the burglar safe under arrest. ” “ How did Miss McIntyre appear? ” “ Appear? hvd.hn1h5n Surely; and wo n't you have an ice? ” Bar- bara's hospitable instincts were aroused.
hvd.hn1h5n	- What did her words imply — further tragedy?
hvd.hn1h5n	-"Jimmie might not have died from angina pec- toris,"he said, “ and still not have been poisoned--"“ You mean-?"
hvd.hn1h5n	104 The Inquest “ No, sir; he came very peaceably and not a word out of him. ” “ Had you any idea that the burglar was not what he seemed?
hvd.hn1h5n	118 The Inquest “ Did the dogs discover his presence in the house? ”"Apparently not, or they would have aroused the household, ” she said.
hvd.hn1h5n	167 The Red Seal “ As you passed the table, Mr. Clymer, did you see my letter lying on the table?
hvd.hn1h5n	187 The Red Seal um “ Has Philip really disappeared?"
hvd.hn1h5n	200 “ Pay- Cash ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hn1h5n	22 The Game of Consequences “ Wo n't you hold an autopsy, Ferguson? ” asked Clymer, breaking his long silence.
hvd.hn1h5n	241 The Red Seal “ Your bank honored this check?
hvd.hn1h5n	47 The Red Seal “ Find out what?"
hvd.hn1h5n	: “ What's this Venetian casket like? ” asked Ferguson before Kent could question McIntyre."
hvd.hn1h5n	? ” Penfield ran his fingers through his gray hair.
hvd.hn1h5n	Ah, Mr. Sylves- ter- has Mr. Rochester returned?
hvd.hn1h5n	And if he is innocent, why does n't he come forward and prove it? ” “ He may not know that he is suspected of the crime,"retorted Kent, rising.
hvd.hn1h5n	And why did she wish to discover it?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Any further developments, Kent?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Are your daughters here, Colonel McIntyre? ” asked Kent as he took a step toward the table.
hvd.hn1h5n	As luck would have it Mr. Turnbull cashed it for me himself. ” “ But did n't he suspect you? ” exclaimed Clymer.
hvd.hn1h5n	Both girls? ” “ Yes, both ” — firmly, not, however, meeting her eyes.
hvd.hn1h5n	Brewster, why did you laugh when Dr. Stone carried Jimmie Turnbull out of the court room?"
hvd.hn1h5n	But what motive could have inspired her to mur- der Jimmie?
hvd.hn1h5n	But why had he disappeared without revealing his identity to Kent?
hvd.hn1h5n	Can I see him? ” “ N- no,"Kent spoke slowly, with a side- glance at the silent detective.
hvd.hn1h5n	Colonel McIntyre had addressed his daughter as Helen, and she had not undeceived him — Why?
hvd.hn1h5n	Devilishly ingenious on the part of the criminal, was n't it?".
hvd.hn1h5n	Did Miss Helen eat anything? ” “ Not very much, miss."
hvd.hn1h5n	Did Turnbull expect to die here in this manner? ” “ No- no — certainly not. ” The lawyer moistened his dry lips.
hvd.hn1h5n	Did you close it on leaving the room?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Do you know the deceased?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Does aconitine kill instantly, doctor? ” Stone cleared his throat before speaking.
hvd.hn1h5n	Find what you wished, sir? ” Kent was distinctly annoyed by the question.
hvd.hn1h5n	Had the widow by chance overheard her remark?
hvd.hn1h5n	Has Mr. Clymer telephoned? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	Has any one called this morn- ing? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1h5n	Have you had any further news of your part- ner? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	Have you had word from him? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	Have you seen it?"
hvd.hn1h5n	He did ask for a drink of water just after he returned to the cage. ” “ Did you give it to him? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	How did they get in this box? ” Kent rubbed his chin in bewilderment.
hvd.hn1h5n	I am sorry, Kent; have you mislaid your letter? ” “ Yes, ” glumly.
hvd.hn1h5n	If he did not commit the murder, why did he run away?
hvd.hn1h5n	If he had only confided in me ” — her voice shook —"he might have been alive to- day. ” “ How so? ” Penfield shot the question at her.
hvd.hn1h5n	Is that all the case you have against him?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Is that not so, Barbara? ” “ Yes, ” she acknowledged reluctantly.
hvd.hn1h5n	Is there anything I can do? ” added the steward observing Kent's agitation.
hvd.hn1h5n	It would seem so, for who else, after taking refuge elsewhere, would have telephoned a warning of burglars to the hotel office?
hvd.hn1h5n	Kent not in, did you say?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Kent remained silent, and he added, “ Is that all, sir? ” “ Yes, thanks,"and the clerk retired.
hvd.hn1h5n	Kent sat upright as an idea flashed through his brain – was the man Philip Rochester?
hvd.hn1h5n	Kent was watching the detective narrowly; what was he driving at?
hvd.hn1h5n	Kent, are you crazy? ” “ Yes, crazy to know why you kept your pres- ence in the police court on Tuesday morning a secret,"replied Kent.
hvd.hn1h5n	Mr. Rochester stated that you had his address. ” “ I? ” Kent concealed his growing surprise.
hvd.hn1h5n	Now, what is it, Ferguson? ” His companion did not reply at once; instead he puffed at his cigar.
hvd.hn1h5n	Now, what made her think that? ” “ I am sure I do n't know?- Kent's air of candor was unmistakable and Ferguson showed his disappointment.
hvd.hn1h5n	Rochester here?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Say, where is Colonel McIntyre?
hvd.hn1h5n	Smell anything? ” holding up the handkerchief.
hvd.hn1h5n	Stone?"
hvd.hn1h5n	The India variety is known as the Bish poison. ” Kent started- Bish poison – was he never to get away from the letter “ B ”?
hvd.hn1h5n	The Vanishing Man How had the man vanished so utterly, leaving no trace behind in the apartment?
hvd.hn1h5n	Turnbull's enemy is not unknown and will soon be under arrest. ” “ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Want to use the telephone? ” observing Kent's glance stray to the instrument.
hvd.hn1h5n	Was he right, after all, in his conjecture; had the man been Philip Rochester?
hvd.hn1h5n	Was it just to the men before him to keep 204 “ Pay- Cash ” them in the dark?
hvd.hn1h5n	What consolation could he offer Helen?
hvd.hn1h5n	What deviltry was afoot?
hvd.hn1h5n	What had been discovered to point to murder?
hvd.hn1h5n	What had brought them at that hour to the police court?
hvd.hn1h5n	What had caused the widow to change her mind so suddenly, and above all, what had she wished to consult him about?
hvd.hn1h5n	What prompted it?
hvd.hn1h5n	What reply could he make without further involving Rochester in trouble?
hvd.hn1h5n	What say you- guilty or not guilty? ” The man shifted his weight from one foot to the other and shot an uneasy look about him.
hvd.hn1h5n	What would be the reply?
hvd.hn1h5n	What's your opinion, Stone?"
hvd.hn1h5n	Where's your partner, Mr. Rochester?
hvd.hn1h5n	Which one of his companions had taken the envelope?
hvd.hn1h5n	Which was it? ” There was a tense silence.
hvd.hn1h5n	Who had opened the safe?
hvd.hn1h5n	Who preferred charges?
hvd.hn1h5n	Who wrote it? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	Why had she not sent Barbara to see Kent in her place?
hvd.hn1h5n	Why in the world did n't he announce who he was when my daughter had him arrested as a burglar?
hvd.hn1h5n	Why? ” “ To discover the cause of death, ” answered Kent quietly.
hvd.hn1h5n	Wo n't I do? ” replied Kent, his appointment forgotten in the news that Ferguson had just given him.
hvd.hn1h5n	Would Barbara wait for him — was it fair to ask her?
hvd.hn1h5n	Would he make him out derelict in his duty?
hvd.hn1h5n	You let him think that? ” gasped McIntyre; then wrath gained the mastery.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ About four o'clock, or a little after. ”"Then you were awake an hour before you discovered the supposed burglar in your library?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ About that length of time. ” “ And you heard no unusual sounds in that hour's interval?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ After finding Grimes did you search the house? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Am I?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Amyl nitrite? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ And at night? ” he persisted.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ And what is your opinion, doctor? ” ques- tioned Penfield.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ And what was he look- ing for? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ And what were they doing in the cellar? ” “ Hunting rats. ” “ And how did the dogs get in the cellar? ” inquired the coroner patiently.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ And what were they doing in the cellar? ” “ Hunting rats. ” “ And how did the dogs get in the cellar? ” inquired the coroner patiently.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ And what were you doing in the library at that hour, Grimes?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Any luck?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Anyone else been in this morning? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Are the girls ready? ” “ They — they are indisposed, and wo n't be able to go to- night. ” “ What!
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Are you aiding Philip Rochester in his efforts to elude arrest?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Are you aware that Helen stated at the police court this morning that she was Turnbull's fiancée?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Are you insinuating that Helen killed Jimmie? ” she cried.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Are you insinuating that one of us walked off with your envelope, Kent? ” he demanded angrily.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Are you visiting the Misses McIntyre? ” “ Yes. ” Mrs. Brewster spoke in a chatty im- personal manner.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ As Jimmie Turnbull or Smith the burglar?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ At what hour did you return?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ At what hour did you wake up? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Aye, what?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Aye, why did he?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Babs, are n't you glad to see me? ” he asked wistfully.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ But if he was the forger how does that square with Rochester's peculiar behavior?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ But why should she turn the torch on this casket? ” persisted the detective.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Can I see Rochester? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Can you procure Bish in this country? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Charges?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Come, sir, do you mean to tell me she noticed that little bit of a stain in a dark room?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Colonel McIntyre come with Mrs. Brewster? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Mr. 166 Half a Truth rs Clymer go to the Cosmos Club? ” he asked, pausing by the detective.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Mr. Roches- ter give you any outline of the work? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Mr. Rochester tell you where he was go- ing? ” he asked the clerk.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Mr. Turnbull have one of your hand- kerchiefs? ” asked Penfield.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Rochester tell you, Ferguson, that he had recognized Turnbull in his burglar disguise?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did Thomas get the dogs? ” “ You wait and see, miss. ” Grimes was guilty of a most undignified wink.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did a man with a bad heart come here in the dead of night for nothing but that foolishness?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did he close it later? ” She considered the question.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did he have an enemy? ” “ Not to my knowledge."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did he swallow any medicine in your pres- ence?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did n't you take it? ”"No."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did she wish the'B'for a seal?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did the detective open the envelope?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did the prisoner show any symptoms of ill- ness before his heart attack?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you discover anything?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you hear any one break into the house when you were prowling around, Grimes?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you know him well? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you not say that Detective Ferguson brought you the envelope, Mr. Kent? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you observe any one hand him any- thing?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you realize his identity in the court room?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you return immediately to your house from the Saratoga apartment?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you search Turnbull's apartment last night as you spoke of doing? ” asked McIntyre.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you see him take Mrs. Brewster's aconitine pills off the hall table?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you see the burglar there?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Did you see the dogs on Monday night? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you know many instances where aconitine was used by mur- derers?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you mean that Jimmie's death was not the result of a dangerous heart disease, but of foul play?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you mean to say that you think the murder of Turnbull was premeditated and not committed on the spur of the moment?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you mean to say, Helen, that you decline to go to the supper to- night on account of the death of Jimmie Turnbull? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you not know Jimmie? ” asked her sister.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you recognize the handwriting? ” asked Ferguson.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Do you wish to see me professionally? ”"Indeed, I do n't. ” She laughed frankly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Does Rochester's furniture duplicate yours, safe and all? ” “ Safe — no, he has none; that is the firm's safe."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Does he know that I am here? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Does she know who poisoned Jimmie? ” “ No- no! ” Barbara rested a firm hand on his shoulder.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ First name —? ” “ John,"was the answer, given after a slight pause.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Found any- thing, Ferguson? ” The detective withdrew his head from the opening at the end of the casket, and regarded the furniture vexedly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Fraud? ” “ Yes, ” quietly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Give me twenty- four hours —"“ What for? ” they chorused.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Gone where?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Grimes has worked himself almost into a fever asking for you. ” “ Grimes?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Had n't I better send for Dr. Stone? ” “ Oh, no, ” her reply, though somewhat faint, was emphatic, and he frowned.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Had n't I better stay with them? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Had n't you better go upstairs and join her? ” Helen suggested.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Had n't you better telephone for an operative and station him here? ” suggested Kent.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Has Miss Barbara McIntyre a latch- key, also? ” asked Penfield.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Has Miss McIntyre been here? ” “ Miss McIntyre — here? ” Clymer stared in amazement at his questioner.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Has Miss McIntyre been here? ” “ Miss McIntyre — here? ” Clymer stared in amazement at his questioner.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Has the coroner held the autopsy yet, Dr. Stone? ”"Autopsy! ” McIntyre spoke with sharp abruptness.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Have n't I seen that letter'B'design on your stationery, Colonel? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Have the police found any motive for the crime, Kent?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Have you any idea who sent the message, Mr. Stuart? ”"I have not; it was an out- side call"Stuart turned to his companion.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Have you heard from Coroner Penfield? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Have you learned the nature of that wager? ” he asked, lowering his voice.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ He said or did 114 The Red Seal ing attention in the street?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ He told me that the police were looking for Rochester. ” “ What? ” Harding looked up, startled.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ He undoubtedly died from the effects of that poison. ” “ Is aconitine difficult to procure? ” asked Kent.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How about suicides?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How about your sister, Miss Barbara; did she recognize him?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How could that be, Babs, in an open police court with dozens of spec- tators all about?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How did Miss Barbara return from the Grosvenor dance? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How did Philip kill Jimmie there in court before us all? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How did you discover that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How do you account for that? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How do you want the money? ” “ Oh, I forgot. ” She glanced at a memoran- dum on the back of an envelope.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How is Colonel McIntyre this morning?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How is it ad- ministered?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How is your sister? ” inquired Clymer, break- ing the silence which had lasted nearly five minutes.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ How so?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ I guess they are still waiting, eh, doctor?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ I have a dread- ful habit of dropping my handkerchiefs around. ”"Did you miss one after his visit to your house on Monday night? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ I overheard him conversing — ” “ With whom? ” Kent demanded eagerly as she paused as if to reconsider her confidences.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ I thought it was clearly established that Jimmie died from angina pectoris?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ I waited for McIntyre to pick up Mrs. Brews- ter's fan. ” “ Did he take my letter off the table also? ” called Kent.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ I?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ In what way? ” “ By barking — they are noisy dogs."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Is Mr. Clymer in his office, McDonald? ” he asked, placing the bank notes given him in his wallet.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Is n't that so, Coroner? ” Penfield nodded.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Is the prisoner represented by counsel?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Jimmie was thinking of the predicament of others, not of himself. ” “ What do you mean, Helen? ” her father de- manded.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Just when was Sylvester in your employ? ”"Sylvester was never in my employ, ” corrected Benjamin Augustus Clymer.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Let's thrash this thing out; are you working with me or against me? ” “ Why do you ask? ” Kent's surprise at the question was evident.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Let's thrash this thing out; are you working with me or against me? ” “ Why do you ask? ” Kent's surprise at the question was evident.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Like that? ” he ques- tioned, pointing to the still figure.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Like to interview them? ” “ Yes. ” “ No, no! ” Rochester was on his feet instantly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Must you know?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ My automatic against his ribs brought him out. ” “ Did you search your prisoner? ” asked Rochester, as he took the witness.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Nitro- glycerine?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ No, sir. ” “ A burglar's kit?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ No. ” “ No one walking about the house? ” he per- sisted.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Now, Miss McIntyre, why did the prisoner so obligingly walk straight into a closet on your arrival in the library?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ On discovering the burglar why did you not call your father? ” “ My first impulse was to do so,"she answered promptly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Quite well, ” she replied, and prompted by her curiosity added: “ What made you think him ill?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Rochester?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Shall I show her in? ” “ Certainly — her name?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Shall I show her in? ” “ Certainly — her name?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ She was not fully dressed then?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ That you, Mr. Clymer?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Then I can tell Helen that you will aid us? ” “ Yes. ” Kent stopped on his way to the door.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Then how did you learn of his arrest?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Then who requested you to lock the envelope in Roches- ter's safe? ” he demanded, and receiving no reply, asked suddenly: “ Was it Rochester?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Then who requested you to lock the envelope in Roches- ter's safe? ” he demanded, and receiving no reply, asked suddenly: “ Was it Rochester?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Then why did you go through the farce of having Jimmie arrested as a burglar? ” Kent demanded.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Then, are you sure that Turnbull used it?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ There is no necessity to bring the twins out here — it's too tragic! ” “ Tragic?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ There's 211 The Red Seal one big flaw in your case, Ferguson; the poison used to kill Turnbull. ” “ Aconitine? ” “ Exactly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was Miss McIntyre composed in manner or did she appear frightened? ” asked Penfield.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was Turnbull delirious, doctor? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was he conscious before he died? ” At the question Kent bent eagerly forward.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was he quarrelsome?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was it a man or woman? ” he asked, turn- ing back to the room.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was n't Mr. Turnbull arrested in that very room?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Was n't he living in deadly fear of exposure?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Well, does your instinct haz- ard a guess as to the weapon, the opportunity, and the motive for such a crime?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Well, who was the last person to leave the porch? ” Kent demanded eagerly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were n't you present in the police court on Tuesday morning also?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were the dogs familiar with his step and voice? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were the dogs in the house on Monday night?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were the dogs in the house? ” There was a distinct pause before she spoke.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were you awakened by any noises during the night? ” inquired Penfield.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were you aware of the real identity of the burglar? ” “ I had no suspicion that he was not what he appeared,"she responded.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Were you disturbed by the burglar's entrance on Monday night? ” McIntyre shook his head.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What about Monday night?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What are they?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What are you doing here? ” Mrs. Brewster's ready laugh hid all sign of embarrassment.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What be- came of father? ” “ He went to a stag supper at the Willard,"chimed in Barbara, stopping her aimless walk about the library.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What can I do for you? ” he asked as Fer- guson dropped back and stretched himself in the soft depths of the big chair.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What caused Jimmie's death? ”"Angina pectoris,"declared Rochester.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What did she want here?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What do you mean, Babs? ” he demanded."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What has happened here? ” and he gazed about with quickened interest.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What have you discovered? ” he demanded eagerly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What hour of the morning was it?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What is it, Mr. Clymer? ” Clymer did not reply at once.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What makes Ferguson think Philip guilty? ” demanded Barbara.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What paper is that?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What possessed Jimmie Turnbull to play so mad a trick? ” “ His wager with Barbara."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What prompts the question, Ferguson? ” The detective nitched his chair nearer.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What prompts the question? ” “ The fact that you are Rochester's partner,"Ferguson pointed out; his manner was still stiff.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What right had you to do such a thing? ” “ The search warrant covered it, ” explained Ferguson.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What shall I say the next time he calls?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What shall we do? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What's Mr. Rochester's address? ” Kent walked over to his desk and picked up the telegram.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What's Philip's opinion worth? ” The young girl smiled disdainfully.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ What's the matter, Miss McIn- tyre?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ When did you first learn of the supposed bur- glary and the death of James Turnbull? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Where are the dogs kept? ” “ In the garage in the daytime."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Where were you during that hour? ” “ Lying down,"promptly.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Where were you on Monday night? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Where will we find Rochester, Kent? ” asked Taylor, before the bank president could answer the New Yorker.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Where- where's he gone?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Which Miss McIntyre? ” Mrs. Brewster put the question with swift intentness.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Which is that? ” “ Grimes means the library. ” McIntyre's tone was short.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Which was the forger — Turnbull or Roches- ter? ” Kent shook a puzzled head."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who closes the house at night, Grimes? ” “ I do, sir."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who gave Jimmie your aconitine pills which Grimes left on the hall table? ” “ The murderer."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who have been here to- day?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who is speaking?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who let you in? ” “ My sister. ” “ Did you see the burglar? ” “ He had left, ” she answered.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who let you in? ” “ My sister. ” “ Did you see the burglar? ” “ He had left, ” she answered.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who lives in your house beside you and your twin sister? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who pre- sented it? ” “ Miss McIntyre."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who sits up to let in the young ladies when they go to balls?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Who would have stood surety for that scarecrow? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Whom did you see in the McIntyre house? ” the coroner asked O'Ryan.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why did Mr. Turnbull enter Colonel Mc- Intyre's library on Monday night disguised as a burglar? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why did Mrs. Brewster laugh in the police court? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why did n't Mr. Turnbull tell you who he was when you had him arrested? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why did you leave the window in the recep- tion room open? ”"I did n't, sir,"was the prompt denial.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why did you send for Harry Kent? ” he questioned.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why not ask the detec- tive? ” Her suggestion held a grain of truth.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why should Helen suspect foul play? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why, how could Jimmie reveal his identity in court without involving us? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Why? ” “ Why — why — Turnbull was arrested in their house,"Rochester was commencing to stutter.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Will there be an inquest?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Will you come with us?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Will you spare me a few minutes of your time, Mr. Kent? ” he asked persuasively.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Will you wait any longer, sir?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ With Colonel McIntyre?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ With whom? ” repeated Kent as the widow remained silent."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Would Helen have been able to give the same answers that you did without perjuring herself? ” Barbara started and her face paled.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Would that cause death? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Would two or more capsules of amyl nitrite constitute a lethal dose? ” asked Penfield.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Would you mind driving me to the McIntyres?
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Would you mind opening it?"
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Would you mind telling me its contents, Mr. Kent? ” he asked persuasively.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Find any concealed weapons?'
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Yes, sir? ” he asked interrogatively.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Yes. ” “ Then what more likely than that he carried it off again? ” She smiled amusedly as Kent's expression altered.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Yes. ” “ Who presented it? ” Clymer pressed the buzzer and his secretary came at once.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You ca n't tell me where's he's gone, I suppose? ”"I have n't the faintest idea,"answered Bar- bara truthfully.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You did? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You have heard of Jimmie Turnbull's sudden and tragic death? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You heard no sound before entering the library? ”.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You know Mrs. Brewster? ” 242 A Question of House- Breaking “ Mr.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You let them go out alone together? ” “ They ca n't be alone if they are together,"answered Barbara practically.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ You look tired, Helen dear; why do n't you go to bed? ”"I could not sleep if I did. ” Helen passed a nervous finger across her eyes.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Your prisoner? ” in profound astonishment.
hvd.hn1h5n	“ Your what? ” Barbara sprang up, astounded.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you considered the possibility that some one is trading on your known enthusiasm for psychological research? ” I asked. hvd.32044086876356 Have you the canvas bag of stones? ” “ Yes, locked up in my cabin.
hvd.32044086876356	How was it possible for them to show so little concern about a comrade they liked? hvd.32044086876356 I am inclined to think it is poison, but,"“ He did n't inject a drug, I suppose? ” said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	I wonder whether there is something — how shall I put it?—simpatica between us? ” he said suddenly. hvd.32044086876356 Is it poison?"
hvd.32044086876356	Is it possible that you left the door unlocked last night by mistake? ” I queried. hvd.32044086876356 Is it your real opinion that the only thing to do is to wait? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	To whom?
hvd.32044086876356	Was that the lady? ” he asked. hvd.32044086876356 Was that the perfume? ” Winbush smelt it.
hvd.32044086876356	Was the coffin a very elaborate one? ” Quarles asked, after nodding an acquiescence to Zena's remark. hvd.32044086876356 What is it? ” he asked, coming swiftly into the room.
hvd.32044086876356	Who did?.
hvd.32044086876356	'I am going to Silesia —'By the way, when will you go? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	116 The Master Detective “ Well, Wigan, shall I tell you what the result of the post- mortem is likely to be? ” said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	118 The Master Detective “ How long have you been in Mr. Bridwell's service? ”"Three years, ” was the answer.
hvd.32044086876356	3 Cedars Road. ” “ Does she attend the church? ” I asked, as I made a note of the address.
hvd.32044086876356	5, I suppose? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044086876356	86 The Master Detective “ Was it Dr. Randall? ” Directly he asked the question I knew that it was the doctor's face which had been there.
hvd.32044086876356	9, did n't he? ” I whispered an affirmative, and could dimly see the professor going slowly along the wall.
hvd.32044086876356	A ‘ Napier'car was in the garage. ”"Did you see the chauffeur? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	At a safe distance from the house he, and a confederate, perhaps, may have secured her. ” “ But why?"
hvd.32044086876356	At any rate, some remark of this kind would allay her suspicions, and then —"“ He murdered her? ” asked Zena sharply.
hvd.32044086876356	But what is beauty if you have no luck? ” “ When were they given to you? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	But what is beauty if you have no luck? ” “ When were they given to you? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	By the way, I suppose Mr. Henley played some instrument? ” The sudden question seemed to change the whole at- mosphere.
hvd.32044086876356	By the way, have you ever seen Beverley? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	Can I take it away with me? ” I arranged for him to do so, and we went back to the hotel.
hvd.32044086876356	Can you account for the fascination which sin exerts over a vast number of people in the world?
hvd.32044086876356	Can you drag yourself over to this corner?
hvd.32044086876356	Christon “ Why did n't you put me on my guard? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	Contessa, may I look into your bedroom? ” The request astonished her, and it puzzled me.
hvd.32044086876356	Did Quarles know?
hvd.32044086876356	Did he go into the bedroom while you were here? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	Did he open his door with a key when you came in with him last night? ” “ I could n't swear to it. ” “ You see it does not lock of itself.
hvd.32044086876356	Did you know I was writ- ing an article for a psychological review? ” On the following evening I took Zena to a theater- to the Olympic.
hvd.32044086876356	Did you know his name was John? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086876356	Did your brother chance to come to the of- fice that day?"
hvd.32044086876356	Do you imagine they be- gan before that? ”:"Possibly, ” said Quarles, as he turned his attention to the coffin.
hvd.32044086876356	Do you know him? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	Do you know the name of his solici- tors? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044086876356	Do you know what has become of the junior clerk, Small? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086876356	Do you understand?".
hvd.32044086876356	Do you want to look at any- thing else in the house? ” “ I think not, ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	Does it tell you anything? ” I took it and examined it.
hvd.32044086876356	Does n't the disappearance of that coat and skirt tend to corroborate this?
hvd.32044086876356	Does that sound very ungrateful in view of the fact that she left me every- thing else? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086876356	Every- thing had to be thought of before Helen Crosland rushed out for the police. ” “ You assume that the whole household was in the conspiracy?"
hvd.32044086876356	Farrell might have felt ill and drunk some plain water, but why was he in the office at all?
hvd.32044086876356	First, was the fog in Hammersmith, or elsewhere on the journey, thick enough to bring him to a standstill before he reached Hyde Park Corner?
hvd.32044086876356	First, why did he live the life of a recluse in Gray's Inn?
hvd.32044086876356	Had I?
hvd.32044086876356	Had they another car waiting, or was Hounslow their destination?
hvd.32044086876356	Had you told the men in the corridor that all the contessa's jewelry was sham? ” “ I know nothing of —".
hvd.32044086876356	Has he always been on friendly terms with this branch of the fam- ily? ” “ Always, and has helped them considerably."
hvd.32044086876356	Has it occurred to you, Wigan, how exceedingly complete his claim was?
hvd.32044086876356	Have you a list of ma- dame's admirers, Wigan? ” “ I am only human, professor, and you ask for the impossible, ” I said, smiling.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you any fault to find with that deduction, Wigan? ” “ I do n't think it follows,"I said.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you any rea- son to suppose poor Henley was in love? ” “ I have no reason to think so, ” said Watson.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you any relatives in town?"
hvd.32044086876356	Have you arrived at a theory? ” “ No, at least only a very vague one.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you considered why only the earrings were stolen? ” “ There was nothing else to steal, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you ever seen that knife before? ” Majendie took it up and looked at it.
hvd.32044086876356	Have you got interested in a case, dear?
hvd.32044086876356	He has been very reticent about him- self. ” “ According to Watson, I suppose?''
hvd.32044086876356	Her second question was: Why did he live the life of a recluse in Gray's Inn?
hvd.32044086876356	How are you getting on with your knots, Wigan? ” “ I am not tied so tightly as I might be. ” “ Good.
hvd.32044086876356	How can I until I have your story?"
hvd.32044086876356	How could he have administered poison to Farrell? ” “ It requires no strength to administer poison, only subtlety,"said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	How did he know that his ingenious method of concealing the body had been found out?
hvd.32044086876356	How did you guess that? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	How goes the inquiry? ” “ You are wrong, professor.
hvd.32044086876356	How had he heard of Quarles's discovery?
hvd.32044086876356	How many people do you suppose know which Saints'days were specified by Miss Morrison?
hvd.32044086876356	How was the church entered?
hvd.32044086876356	I am still"“ Still waiting for something to turn up in the Bever- ley affair? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086876356	I am trying to per- suade my mother to go away at once. ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044086876356	I believe the duplicate coffin was hidden there. ” “ But how was the duplicate coffin got into the house? ” asked Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	I had never seen them before, but I should know them again. ” “ No names were mentioned in your presence? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	I have nothing definite against him. ” “ May I ask whether, as guardian, you have control over your niece's choice? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	I just told my master that Mr. Fisher said it was all right. ” “ So Mr. Bridwell might have had visitors while you were out?"
hvd.32044086876356	I must tell you about the house another time. ” “ When shall I see you again? ” “ To- morrow night.
hvd.32044086876356	I remember speaking casually of a well- known person once and being met with the question, Who is he?
hvd.32044086876356	I shall be nothing without them, do you see?''
hvd.32044086876356	I shall have to repay the debt and prevent the son making a fool of himself. ” “ You have no doubt that it was murder? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	I should n't have entered the house with him to- night had I not known you were here. ” “ Anything else? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	I suppose you know that my ideas of the true functions of art have caused many people to call me a crank? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	I take it that neither Watson nor any of his company have of- fered any explanation of the tragedy? ” “ I believe not.
hvd.32044086876356	I think Madame Vatrotski had an appointment with Forbes that day, and more, that she kept it. ” “ Where? ” “ At his studio.
hvd.32044086876356	I think you said the taxi had been in charge of the police?"
hvd.32044086876356	I thought a woman was there. ” “ By the perfume?"
hvd.32044086876356	I told the story to Quarles as we walked to the hotel “ Does the doctor suggest an accident? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086876356	I will send and ask Sir Robert to join us there. ” “ And could you get a knife? ” asked the professor.
hvd.32044086876356	I'phoned to you at least a dozen times yesterday. ” “ Why? ” “ I was afraid of to- night.
hvd.32044086876356	Is it likely I should do anything so foolish?
hvd.32044086876356	It is a jolly good bust, but the woman,"“ Is she pretty? ” asked the other.
hvd.32044086876356	It is enclosed, as it were, in a thick casing of rock. ” “ Did Hardiman know this? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	It seems possible, does n't it, that at one time she hoped to have them after her aunt's death?
hvd.32044086876356	It seems such an obvious clue, does n't it?
hvd.32044086876356	It was very unfortunate, but what could I do?
hvd.32044086876356	Just writem let me see, how will it be best to word it?
hvd.32044086876356	Lanning thinks it would be a good idea if we went to Silesia. ” “ What do you think of the idea? ”'Lanning asked.
hvd.32044086876356	May I wash my hands? ” Well, we had tea with the contessa, and I saw the smile which rewarded Christopher Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	Morrison left no message, merely asked that Mr. Farrell should be told he had called. ” “ What was Morrison's explanation? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	Now what do you think of my theory? ” “ It takes me back to Grange Park without unneces- sary delay,"I said, getting up quickly.
hvd.32044086876356	Of course, if his companions had any guilty knowledge they would have made some explanation. ” “ Why? ”"To mislead us."
hvd.32044086876356	Perhaps you heard of the case? ” Quarles shook his head.
hvd.32044086876356	Saints have been reared from such poor material before now. ” “ When do you meet? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	Shall be with you the day after to- morrow.-Yours, C. M.'Your friend Parrish was not a man you would expect to rollick, I imagine? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	Shall we have a talk with Mr. Majendie next?
hvd.32044086876356	Shall we say the name of this assistant was Fisher?
hvd.32044086876356	She seemed rather a charm- ing person. ” “ You have not seen her since her marriage? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	Since he did not sell his work, where did the money come from? ” “ Some annuity, ” I suggested.
hvd.32044086876356	Surely Lanning must have realized how dangerous it was to give such a note to Quarles?
hvd.32044086876356	That is why I come to know you, is n't it?"
hvd.32044086876356	That will be quite natural, wo n't it?
hvd.32044086876356	The captain wishes us to lunch on board; perhaps you will join us? ” “ With pleasure.
hvd.32044086876356	The result was disappointing. ” “ Did nothing happen? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	There are cleverer crim- inals than there used to be in my time, are there, Wigan?
hvd.32044086876356	There was no rehearsal, I suppose? ”"Nothing was said about it; besides, Henley was sup- posed to be in town. ” “ Yes, I know.
hvd.32044086876356	There was no wart in the floor of the coffin, Wigan. ” “ You mean the coffins were changed? ” said Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	They are in the cases in this ship. ” “ What was the main object of your master's travels? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	They would guess that Lanning would communicate with you. ” “ That hardly explains why they went to Mademoiselle Duplaix, does it?'
hvd.32044086876356	True, ac- cording to Southey, his time after the visit was accounted for, but how about the time before the visit?
hvd.32044086876356	Was I bewitched?
hvd.32044086876356	Was Lady Rusholm prepared for that knock from the coffin? ” “ We are becoming speculative, indeed,"I said.
hvd.32044086876356	Was he English? ” Masini said he was, and gave a description which might have fitted any ten men out of the first dozen en- countered in the street.
hvd.32044086876356	We all put our initial in like that so that we should know our own. ” “ Now, can you suggest why Henley was wearing his dress? ”'asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	We conclude, there- 234 The Master Detective bits of rock, else how came they in that canvas bag, and why were they thrown away?
hvd.32044086876356	We “ And you expected to hear from them? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	Well, Wigan, what do you make of the case? ” “ I think it is fairly clear in its main points,"I an- swered.
hvd.32044086876356	Were the pearls very valuable? ” “ I do not know.
hvd.32044086876356	Were you struck by any peculiarity in him? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	What about Mrs. Selborne?
hvd.32044086876356	What about his work? ” and the professor examined it with his lens.
hvd.32044086876356	What do you make of it? ” “ It gives a new turn to the affair, ” said Quarles re- flectively.
hvd.32044086876356	What do you think of the theory? ” “ As a theory rather interesting, but I am still wait- ing for a fact or two."
hvd.32044086876356	What has brought you here at this hour of the day? ” she asked in astonishment.
hvd.32044086876356	What is the mystery, Murray? ” Strange Case of Sir Grenville Rusholmen “ Where is the key of my room, Zena? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	What is the mystery, Murray? ” Strange Case of Sir Grenville Rusholmen “ Where is the key of my room, Zena? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	What is the particular problem? ” “ Randall will explain to- night, and you must at least pretend to be interested.
hvd.32044086876356	What use could they make of a dead body?
hvd.32044086876356	What was it? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	What was the ill news Mr. Thompson brought from India?
hvd.32044086876356	What were his exact words, I mean? ” “ He said: “ All right, tell Mr. Bridwell I shall start at once.'"
hvd.32044086876356	What would a secret agent want at Oxford?
hvd.32044086876356	What would he do with it?
hvd.32044086876356	What would you have done with it, Wigan?
hvd.32044086876356	Where did he get his money from?
hvd.32044086876356	Why do you ask? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	Why had he waited so long? ” said Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	Why not?
hvd.32044086876356	Why should he not dress up and take his place on the following evening?
hvd.32044086876356	Why should he talk of a runaway match to the woman at that cottage?
hvd.32044086876356	Why should the man explain the filling of a flask at a public house?
hvd.32044086876356	Why take such trouble that the theft should be dis- covered? ” “ We have not accumulated enough facts to tell us,"I answered.
hvd.32044086876356	Why was he so certain?
hvd.32044086876356	Why were they not put there?
hvd.32044086876356	Why?
hvd.32044086876356	Winbush's story is rather a surprising one, eh, Wigan?'
hvd.32044086876356	Would the garage people have it brought in and repaired?
hvd.32044086876356	Would they drown her, too?
hvd.32044086876356	Would you like to hear them now? ” “ Please,"said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	You are certain it was a knife, I sup- pose? ” The Strange Case of Daniel Hardiman 219 “ Yes.
hvd.32044086876356	You are not a regular customer here? ” “ No, an occasional one only.
hvd.32044086876356	You are quite sure it was a woman? ” “ Quite certain."
hvd.32044086876356	You do not know the Cas- talanis? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	You dress for the performance in the tent, I suppose? ” “ The men do.
hvd.32044086876356	You have made enquiries about him in this building, of course? ” “ Yes. ” “ About his personal appearance and habits, I mean.
hvd.32044086876356	You knew Miss Lester, of course? ” “ I did not see her until after Farrell's death, then 60 The Master Detective I saw her several times.
hvd.32044086876356	You know it, I suppose? ” I did, and stopped the driver when we got there.
hvd.32044086876356	You say the woman is an extraneous epi- sode; but is she?
hvd.32044086876356	You see, I was not looking at her with his eyes. ” “ Had she no beauty, then? ” “ I can not say that, ” Musgrave answered.
hvd.32044086876356	You will have to travel to Brighton, Wigan, and put one or two questions to our friend Watson. ” “ And who was the man? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	You will surely you are not thinking —"“ That reformation may be only skin deep?
hvd.32044086876356	Your brother may have been playing with the firm's credit, and Far- rell may have found him out. ” “ Any other alternative, Mr. Quarles?
hvd.32044086876356	Your wound is not likely to put off your wedding? ” it of about The 28 DO you
hvd.32044086876356	prise you to learn that I am having the Italian Masini carefully watched? ” “ It is a wise precaution."
hvd.32044086876356	“ A corpse has been stolen; can you suggest any use a corpse can be put to if it is not to serve some anatomical or medical purpose?
hvd.32044086876356	“ All sham. ” “ Who told you so? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ An ape, trained to imitate, and now did some one look through the glass? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044086876356	“ And Farrell, who died by poison, which is significant, was his rival? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And allowed suspicion to rest on his name? ” said Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And in the ordinary way Henley would have gone with you? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And none of you went down to the tent until the evening of the next day? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And the body has been stolen? ” “ Yes. ” “ I should like to hear about it, Wigan."
hvd.32044086876356	“ And what reason had he for the murder? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And when I tell you I live in Gray's Inn do you think you could guess what kind of work it is? ” “ That is beyond me,"I laughed.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And who do you suppose he was? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And your temper's gone out, too, eh, Professor? ” “ What do you mean? ” “ That you are simply lusting to be on the warpath, ” I laughed.
hvd.32044086876356	“ And your temper's gone out, too, eh, Professor? ” “ What do you mean? ” “ That you are simply lusting to be on the warpath, ” I laughed.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are they both in it?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are we?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are you a doctor? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are you hunting a murderer or a ghost, Wigan? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are you suggesting that he should spend a night in this house? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are you sure it was n't Bennett? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Are you sure?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Burroughs thought you had fallen asleep, did he?
hvd.32044086876356	“ But not now, eh? ” And Delverton filled our glasses and his own.
hvd.32044086876356	“ But the body? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ But why should you think he was a new acquaintance of Lady Tavener's? ” asked Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ By the way, have you been to the mortuary to see the body? ” “ Me! ” exclaimed the landlady in horror.
hvd.32044086876356	“ By the way, what is Dr. Coles's address? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Can you account for the fascination she exerted? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Cayley is quite a poor man, I presume? ” said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Could n't they have been packed in such a way that they would not have slipped? ” “ Of course they could.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Did Mr. Hardiman ever say anything about these bits of rock to you? ” “ Never,"answered the doctor.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Did he believe you? ” “ No, monsieur, he laughed at me because I did not know the real thing from paste.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Did he telephone to madame or attempt to communi- cate with her in any way? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Did n't I tell you? ” said Southey.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Did n't you meet the maid coming out of your room on the next afternoon?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Did you see Mrs. Crosland, Wigan? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Do you believe he would do nothing to bring the murderer to justice? ” “ I think not.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Do you find it an interesting case, Professor? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Do you find them suggestive? ” “ I am waiting to see the contessa in a real temper, ” I answered.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Do you not often do the same, dear? ” “ Perhaps, but not this time.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Do you think I should be likely to do such a thing? ” was his answer.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Had he his hat on when he was pulled from under the platform? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Had your master any other visitors to- day? ” I asked casually, turning to Masini.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Has he questioned you since? ”"Not since he first found me lying on the floor.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Has that one been there all the time?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ Has the drawing- room more than one door? ” Strange Case of Sir Grenville Rusholm 9 “ Only one into the hall.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Has the tramp been detained? ” Quarles asked, and being answered in the negative, said he ought to have been.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Has the — the knife been found? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Have you a photograph of the chalice?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ Have you ever taken parcels to this Mr. Fisher be- fore? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Have you examined the wound carefully? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.32044086876356	“ He does not seem to have discovered that Kellner was in financial straits at the time. ” “ Was he?''
hvd.32044086876356	“ He says not. ” “ But you do not altogether believe him, eh? ” “ My opinion is in abeyance, ” I returned.
hvd.32044086876356	“ He was a singer, you say? ” “ Yes — a tenor. ” “ What instrument did he play? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.32044086876356	“ He was a singer, you say? ” “ Yes — a tenor. ” “ What instrument did he play? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.32044086876356	“ His reason told him it must be, yet something beyond reason told him it was n't. ” “ He thought it was murder? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ How did you hear it? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ How long would you make the delay? ” Cayley asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ I court enquiry. ” “ Of course you were not on the deck that night? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	“ I suppose you read the papers I sent you, Profes- sor? ” “ Yes, but rather cursorily, ” Quarles answered.
hvd.32044086876356	“ I wonder what percentage of women use the scent?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is he fond of yachting? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is it a promise? ” “ It is. ” She went in to dress, and I smoked a cigarette before doing likewise.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is it, Nella?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is n't it more probable that she went away will- ingly? ” said Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is she the sort of woman, for vain or selfish reasons, to enter into such a conspiracy with her maid?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is there any love affair? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Is there anything further for me to do? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ It is not the belief of Mr. Delverton himself. ” “ How do you know? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ It leaves an unpleasant doubt whether Mademoiselle Duplaix is as innocent as she ought to be, does n't it? ” “ I do n't think so."
hvd.32044086876356	“ It still remains true, Wigan. ” “ Then you think she is alive?
hvd.32044086876356	“ It was a bad throw, too? ” “ Ay, sir, it was; he did it awkward, something like women throws when they ai n't used to throwing."
hvd.32044086876356	“ It was n't open? ” “ It was just as you see it now."
hvd.32044086876356	“ My client has reason to believe that you are shall I say enamored of a lady staying in this hotel?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Nor you, Miss Travers? ” said Quarles, turning to Sister Penelope.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Now, when did you last see the pearls? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Of course she has not yet heard of the theft? ” “ No, I have not talked about it to any one.
hvd.32044086876356	“ On what points were they not agreed? ” Quarles asked quickly.
hvd.32044086876356	“ One of our failures, eh?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Shall we drink to your clearer judgment? ” said Delverton.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Shall we give it up and go, Professor? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	“ She just uses common sense, a very valuable thing in detective work, I can as- sure you. ” “ Are you any nearer a solution? ” Lanning asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Sir Robert, could it possibly have been a case of sui- cide? ” Quarles asked, suddenly leaning forward.
hvd.32044086876356	“ So for all you know to the contrary, the case may have been empty? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Strengthened by an interest in Sister Pomona, eh?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Surely you are not influenced by the contessa's opin- ion? ” “ Well, she probably knows more about French maids than you do.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Surely you do not mean Randall? ” “ No, but he may have been used as a tool.
hvd.32044086876356	“ That is Henley's, I suppose? ” Watson looked at it.
hvd.32044086876356	“ The day after to- morrow, Wigan, we will go to the Agricultural Institute. ” “ Why not to- morrow? ” “ To- morrow I am busy.
hvd.32044086876356	“ The day before they were stolen. ” “ Your mistress was wearing them? ” “ No, monsieur, but the case was on the dressing table.
hvd.32044086876356	“ The hooligans'club, for instance? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ The key to it is in Zena's question: Why did n't Parrish open his letters? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	“ The maid. ” “ She did n't suggest the pearls were sham? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	“ The subtle personality, Wigan. ” “ When did you guess? ” “ I did n't guess — I did n't think it possible.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Then he did not kill Hardiman? ” said Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ There is a directory here, I see; did you touch it? ”"No."
hvd.32044086876356	“ There is no reason to doubt the statement, is there? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ There is one thing I want to see before I go. ” “ What is that? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Was anything besides the chalice stolen?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ Was anything found in the car?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ Was it fear that some evidence might be found against you which made you point out a man whom you knew was innocent? ” said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Was she playing with anything- anything off the mantelpiece? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Well, Mr. Quarles, have you brought this affair to a head? ” Mr. Delverton asked at last.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Well, what did the man say? ” asked the professor.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Well, what is it? ” he asked again.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Were these hangings on the bed last night? ” “ It was exactly as you see it now. ”?.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Were these hangings on the bed last night? ” “ It was exactly as you see it now. ”?.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What could any one want with a dead body? ” asked Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What desperate thing were you going to say?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ What did Mr. Fisher say when you gave him the packet?
hvd.32044086876356	“ What did Sir Grenville die of? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What did he do, exactly? ” said Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What do you advise? ” “ Delay, ” said the professor promptly.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What do you make of it, Professor? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What is your own opinion of your niece's dis- appearance?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ What made you inspect her wardrobe? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What then? ” “ Dead men tell no tales, ” she said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ What was the weapon?
hvd.32044086876356	“ When did you first think of the child? ” I asked him afterwards.
hvd.32044086876356	“ When my client returns he will be pretty mad about it. ” “ When does he return? ” asked Quarles.
hvd.32044086876356	“ When? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Where are we? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Where are you going? ” asked the contessa.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Where were you? ” “ Out for my master.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Who are these brothers and sisters? ” “ Pluto and Psyche are husband and wife, a Mr. and Mrs. Watson.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Who had told him to call upon her? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Who is it?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why did he put on the dress? ” said Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why do you ask? ” Watson inquired after a pause.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why not?
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why should it be? ” Quarles asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why the speculation? ” I asked.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why were you so anxious to have him arrested? ” “ Pardon me, my one idea is to get at the truth.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why, how else could the men þave got in? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why, indeed? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Why? ” asked Zena.
hvd.32044086876356	“ With whom? ” “ He seemed to spend most of his time looking at Miss Day when he did n't think she would notice him.
hvd.32044086876356	“ Would she have telephoned to Lanning if she were guilty? ” said Nixon.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You admitted that? ” I exclaimed.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You can swear to it? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Rather a pleasant scent but peculiar, Wigan.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You did n't get any idea of his age? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You did n't see a lady go up to Mr. Bridwell's flat? ”.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You do not think the arrest was a mistake now, I presume? ” “ Perhaps not; no, I am inclined to think it has helped us.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You do not wish to tell me what it is? ” “ Not until to- morrow evening. ” I was watching Cayley.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You had some talk with him during the voyage; what did you think was his business in life? ” “ He was a traveler.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You have dropped the idea of the supernatural, then? ” “ I am keeping an open mind."
hvd.32044086876356	“ You knew him, then? ” “ I was staying in the same house with him in Scot- land; his daughter was not there.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You know Mr. Wilkinson was afraid of this very thing?"
hvd.32044086876356	“ You know nothing about these two visitors? ” “ Nothing, signore.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You would otherwise have expected to find some signs of a struggle? ” I said.
hvd.32044086876356	“ You're sure this was locked and bolted last night? ” “ Quite, sir."
hvd.32044086876356	“ Your opinion is all cut and dried, I presume? ” “ Absolutely,"I answered.
hvd.hn1e2b	Am I invited?.
hvd.hn1e2b	And Larry — he's the reason you're telling me now?
hvd.hn1e2b	And so you're the painter?.
hvd.hn1e2b	But to do anything like that, wo n't I need clothes? ” “ You'll need'em, and you'll have'em! hvd.hn1e2b Do n't you see what a situation it's put me in, Maggie- trying to play square with my friends, the Sherwoods, and trying to play square with you?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Do?
hvd.hn1e2b	Going to give me a little private quiz first, Casey,he asked, “ and then call in Gavegan and lead me down to Barlow?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Have I changed much? ” CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 31 “ Changed? hvd.hn1e2b Have I changed much? ” CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 31 “ Changed?
hvd.hn1e2b	He said he was not only going to go straight, but- in her provocative, teasing voice"he was going to make me go straight. ” “ What's that?
hvd.hn1e2b	Hello, young fellow;what you been doing to Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	How do I know what he'll make me do? hvd.hn1e2b How old would she be by this time? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	How?.
hvd.hn1e2b	I say, Nuts, what you goin'to do with this mess of paint?
hvd.hn1e2b	I thought that was all that was holding him back — wait- ing for his sister to look you over and give you her O.K.?
hvd.hn1e2b	If I get you, Chief, you are suggesting that I become a police stool? ”Exactly.
hvd.hn1e2b	If Larry Brainard has known you for a long while, then how about Barney Palmer and Jimmie Carlisle?
hvd.hn1e2b	Invited?
hvd.hn1e2b	Is he the sucker you're out to trim?
hvd.hn1e2b	Larry – where have you been all this while?
hvd.hn1e2b	Maggie- do you believe it? ” he demanded. hvd.hn1e2b Maggie?"
hvd.hn1e2b	My game?
hvd.hn1e2b	No?
hvd.hn1e2b	Not going back to the old thing, then?
hvd.hn1e2b	See here, Maggie — are n't you ever going to speak to a fellow?
hvd.hn1e2b	So you're going to go straight, eh?
hvd.hn1e2b	Three thousand for that?
hvd.hn1e2b	Was n't that Red Hannigan who just spoke?
hvd.hn1e2b	Was the baby a boy or girl, Joe? ” “ Girl.
hvd.hn1e2b	Well, what's on your chest? ” he grunted, not even asking her to be seated. hvd.hn1e2b What are you learning there?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What became of her, Joe?
hvd.hn1e2b	What you doin'out here, Brainard? ” The voice was peremptory and rough. hvd.hn1e2b What're you going to do when you get back your strength?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What's behind the hurry- up call you sent in? hvd.hn1e2b What's that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What's wrong with you?
hvd.hn1e2b	What's your plan to clear Larry?.
hvd.hn1e2b	When you were in the city yesterday, did you get in to see Mr. Hunt's exhibition?
hvd.hn1e2b	Which do you like best, Barney?
hvd.hn1e2b	Who's that man that's coming here?
hvd.hn1e2b	You hear that? hvd.hn1e2b You mean you think I'm not big enough to work with you?"
hvd.hn1e2b	You want to get Larry Brainard, do n't you? hvd.hn1e2b You want to know why?
hvd.hn1e2b	You're sure you really care for Maggie?.
hvd.hn1e2b	You're — you're sure of that?
hvd.hn1e2b	- especially when there was no chance to change Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	- just what would be her course after she knew the truth?
hvd.hn1e2b	- thrown off both police and old friends?
hvd.hn1e2b	- when her plan had been to keep Hannigan as well as Barlow forcibly behind the scenes until she had acted out her play?
hvd.hn1e2b	... Well, what do you say?"
hvd.hn1e2b	136 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND “ How do I know this picture here is n't just an acci- dent?
hvd.hn1e2b	252 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND"And you have known all along that she was the daugh- ter of this notorious criminal, Old Jimmie Carlisle?"
hvd.hn1e2b	44 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND"I say, Duchess — what were Larry and Maggie rowing about?"
hvd.hn1e2b	60 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND"What's the idea? ” he demanded, choking with fierce jealousy.
hvd.hn1e2b	92 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND"Has Dick been talking to you about himself?"
hvd.hn1e2b	And if she is n't a crook, why is she in a game to trim young Dick Sherwood?"
hvd.hn1e2b	And if she is n't a crook, why is she mixed up with two such crooks as you?
hvd.hn1e2b	And if you are go- ing straight, what about the session you had with Barney Palmer and Old Jimmie Carlisle the very night you blew in?
hvd.hn1e2b	And in this new set of circumstances which had come into being in a night, what was he to do?
hvd.hn1e2b	And then as if the thought had only that moment come to him: “ Why not have an exhibition of paintings done in his new manner?
hvd.hn1e2b	And then: “ What's the other way?"
hvd.hn1e2b	And to come here of all places? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	And what, in all this strange ferment, was likely to germinate as possible forces against her?
hvd.hn1e2b	And when and how was he going to reappear and interfere?
hvd.hn1e2b	And yet how in God's name was he to stay here?
hvd.hn1e2b	And, Mr. Brainard, how do you come to possess Miss Cameron's portrait? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	Anger?
hvd.hn1e2b	Any other little item you'd like to take on?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Any- thing broken yet?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Are you ready for a straight talk now?"
hvd.hn1e2b	But do you mind if I hold back my answer for the present and think it over?
hvd.hn1e2b	But how are they to find out?"
hvd.hn1e2b	But if it was n't to pinch me, why did you stop me out there in the street? ” “ Been hoping I might some day run into you on the quiet.
hvd.hn1e2b	But is he in this, too? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	But she's my daughter, ai n't she?".
hvd.hn1e2b	But to come back to your promise: are you willing to give your promise now that you know all the facts?"
hvd.hn1e2b	But what was going to be the real effect upon her of his carefully thought- out design?
hvd.hn1e2b	But what were going to be Maggie's reactions the moment he told her?
hvd.hn1e2b	But where do I fit in?"
hvd.hn1e2b	But who's running this?"
hvd.hn1e2b	But why do n't you ask her yourself?".
hvd.hn1e2b	But, Larry, how can your game beat this one? ” “ Because there's more money in it.
hvd.hn1e2b	By the way,"she added casually,"did Jimmie Carlisle have any children of his own? ” “ Not before I went away.
hvd.hn1e2b	CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 125 “ But, Larry — do n't you know it's dangerous for you to come out?
hvd.hn1e2b	Can you manage to have him come here? ”"Easily.
hvd.hn1e2b	Can you spare me a little more of that stew?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Clever of me, ai n't it, to beat'em to it?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Could it be, as her father had said, because he would never work with women — not trusting them?
hvd.hn1e2b	Could she be wrong in her belief that, given enough time, Larry would outgrow his infatuation for Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	Could she be wrong in her estimate of Maggie's character, and what she might turn out to be?
hvd.hn1e2b	Could she possibly, pos- sibly pass herself off on Miss Sherwood as the genuine article?
hvd.hn1e2b	Did he finally come across with that proposal?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Did the Duchess give you a bigger loan than you expected on the Carnegie medal you just hocked?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Do n't mean to butt in, Hunt, if there are any trespassing signs up — but there's a woman in your case?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Do n't you like the idea?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Do n't you see the possible results if I should try to see her?
hvd.hn1e2b	Do n't you see?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Do n't you suppose I had a clever bird like you picked up the minute you landed in the city, and have had you covered ever since?
hvd.hn1e2b	Do n't you think I get the layout?
hvd.hn1e2b	Do you know the kind of people you're tied up with?
hvd.hn1e2b	Do you mind if Mr. Brandon shows me?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Finally she said, almost abruptly: “ Will you take charge of this with Dick?
hvd.hn1e2b	Got to 114 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND have a little fun, have n't I?
hvd.hn1e2b	Have you heard from Larry?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Have you heard from her since then?
hvd.hn1e2b	Have you heard from him recently?"
hvd.hn1e2b	He wondered how she would like a little of the real thing such as this?
hvd.hn1e2b	Hell! ” “ You do n't like it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Her crude?
hvd.hn1e2b	How about it, Barney?"
hvd.hn1e2b	How about it, Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	How about jumping right in?"
hvd.hn1e2b	How could she, when since her memory began she had lived among people who talked just these same things?
hvd.hn1e2b	How d'you like the life, being a swell lady crook?".
hvd.hn1e2b	How did he take it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	How had he escaped?
hvd.hn1e2b	How in the name of God had Joe come to be here?
hvd.hn1e2b	How was the opening?"
hvd.hn1e2b	How'd you come in here? ”"I've been here all the time.
hvd.hn1e2b	I asked you up here to tell you. ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hn1e2b	I mean one of what he swears at as his'pretty pictures'? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	I suppose I'm to be out of sight during whatever happens? ” CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 273 her hands.
hvd.hn1e2b	I'm sure Miss Sherwood feels that way. ” “ How do you know? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	If he accepted her offer, and the result of this enterprise were disaster, what would Miss Sherwood then think of him?
hvd.hn1e2b	If he goes straight — if you go straight- how can he ever help you?
hvd.hn1e2b	If she were so angered at him as she had declared, if she so distrusted him, why had she not given him up when she had had him at her mercy?
hvd.hn1e2b	Is n't he a grand, foolish old dear?
hvd.hn1e2b	Is n't it all awfully clever?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Is n't she splendid?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Is that introduction enough?
hvd.hn1e2b	It ange had told 146 CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND than Larry, and this was another of her questions: Why had she gone into a panic and aided his escape?
hvd.hn1e2b	It was Larry's strange instinct to protect Maggie that prompted his next remark: “ You're not just out joy- riding, are you, Dick?"
hvd.hn1e2b	It's a big gamble. ”"What will you pay?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Jealousy?
hvd.hn1e2b	Just to- day father was saying that you and I, teamed up- Why, what's the matter, Larry?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Just what was that game in which Maggie was in- volved?
hvd.hn1e2b	Maggie, exactly what's your game?".
hvd.hn1e2b	May I see it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Miss Cameron – Maggie Cameron, how's that for a name?
hvd.hn1e2b	Of course you're going?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Onut poor me “ If you value it so highly, why do you want to sell?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Open up, Captain- what do you think copper is going to do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Remember?"
hvd.hn1e2b	See what I'll be letting myself in for? ”"I do, ” said Larry, his spirits sinking.
hvd.hn1e2b	She had recovered her poise, and she replied banter- ingly: “ As I said, how can I tell what he's going to make me do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	She was silent a dazed moment, then asked: “ Just — just what am I going to do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	She's not even a New York girl. ” “ No?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Should she tell the truth?
hvd.hn1e2b	So she wanted the life of CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 79 dazzling excitement, of brilliant adventure, did she?
hvd.hn1e2b	So why did you come here?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Some insult offered her?
hvd.hn1e2b	That he has asked her to marry him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	The big point is, will you get Larry word? ” A moment passed and the Duchess did not speak.
hvd.hn1e2b	Then he said almost gruffly: “ I guess you've guessed that Isabel Sherwood is about the most important person in the world to me?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Then he said: “ For what reason have I been asked here?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Then you admit you're a great painter?"
hvd.hn1e2b	There were other cities — but then how was he to get to them?
hvd.hn1e2b	They now heard the knob of the inner door turn and tugged at; and then heard Barney call: “ What's the matter, Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	They've got one merit, though: they do n't try to impose on her too much. ” “ What is your Miss Cameron doing in New York?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Think you can walk into her house and put it over on her, Maggie?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Think you're good enough to handle a proposition like that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	This is that same scene reproduced — only this time I've come to take Maggie away. ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Understand so far?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Was it going to be such as to save her and Dick?
hvd.hn1e2b	We can call you Maggie and it wo n't be a slip- up- see?
hvd.hn1e2b	We do n't need him. ”"Just what's behind your saying that, Barney?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Well, I suppose you're going to invite me to go along with you?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Well, what about my plan?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What are you going to do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What commission do you pay dealers?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What could Maggie possibly be up to?
hvd.hn1e2b	What did she say?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What do you say, Red?
hvd.hn1e2b	What do you say?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What do you want me for? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	What gives you that sweet expression?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What had caused that swift change in Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	What is it, Joe?".
hvd.hn1e2b	What is the new game, Larry? ” queried the old man.
hvd.hn1e2b	What might be behind his threaten- ing words?
hvd.hn1e2b	What should he do?
hvd.hn1e2b	What should she do?
hvd.hn1e2b	What the he — I mean what's it doing out here? ” There was not an instant's doubt as to what the thing was.
hvd.hn1e2b	What the hell's this mean?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What time you got? ” “ Just ten o'clock."
hvd.hn1e2b	What was about to happen?
hvd.hn1e2b	What was behind Old Jimmie's new interest in his daughter?
hvd.hn1e2b	What was he doing?
hvd.hn1e2b	What was she to do next?
hvd.hn1e2b	What was this Benvenuto Cellini business all about?
hvd.hn1e2b	What were to be her final decisions?
hvd.hn1e2b	What would be the use when no one would have been benefited?
hvd.hn1e2b	What would she think, what would be her attitude, if she knew the truth about him?
hvd.hn1e2b	What you up to now?"
hvd.hn1e2b	What'll be my situation when she learns I've known all along and have just stood by quietly and let things happen?
hvd.hn1e2b	What're you here for? ”"Get rid of that gat — do n't be found with a gun on,"ordered Casey.
hvd.hn1e2b	What's going to be pulled off? ”"It's not what I might tell you that's going to help you.
hvd.hn1e2b	What's he been doing that I do n't know about? ”"You do not know a single thing that your father has done."
hvd.hn1e2b	What's he doing? ” “ He's working there as a gardener. ” Again she was silent a space, her sunken eyes steady with thought.
hvd.hn1e2b	What's in the air? ” And then Hunt noted the Duchess apart in her corner.
hvd.hn1e2b	What's the idea?".
hvd.hn1e2b	What's up?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Where did you learn that?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Where was he now?
hvd.hn1e2b	Where was she?
hvd.hn1e2b	Where?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Which of the ways suits you best, Maggie?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Who was this best friend of his?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Whose daughter is this girl you've turned into a crook?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Whose was that vaguely familiar second voice?
hvd.hn1e2b	Why did she help me escape?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Why had he chosen to keep her by him, and train her carefully to be exactly what her father had most wished her not to be?
hvd.hn1e2b	Why had n't he tele- phoned?
hvd.hn1e2b	Why had she, in her dismayed urgence, allowed Larry to possess himself of that closet key?
hvd.hn1e2b	Why not? ” exclaimed Barney sharply.
hvd.hn1e2b	Why tell the truth and destroy his CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 165 precious illusion?
hvd.hn1e2b	Will — will Maggie do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	Wo n't you just cut her out of your life, Larry?".
hvd.hn1e2b	Would she be inclined toward him, would she help him?
hvd.hn1e2b	Yes, what should he do?
hvd.hn1e2b	Yet what could he do?
hvd.hn1e2b	You get it?".
hvd.hn1e2b	You get that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	You hear me?
hvd.hn1e2b	You like her a lot, Larry? ” “ I love her,"Larry admitted.
hvd.hn1e2b	You mean- Larry is coming?"
hvd.hn1e2b	You too have known all along that this Miss Cameron was really the Maggie Carlisle this officer speaks of?"
hvd.hn1e2b	You under- stand me so far?"
hvd.hn1e2b	You're down here posing as a boob who smears up canvases! ” “ What's wrong with that? ”"Only this: those are not crazy daubs.
hvd.hn1e2b	You're not falling for him?
hvd.hn1e2b	You're not going to let him make you go straight?".
hvd.hn1e2b	You're not going to let him make you go straight?".
hvd.hn1e2b	You've got that all straight?"
hvd.hn1e2b	You've told them about me?"
hvd.hn1e2b	– and you all the time a stool and a squealer! ” “ What's that? ” cried Larry.
hvd.hn1e2b	– the only one of the sort Mr. Hunt has ever painted, or ever will paint?"
hvd.hn1e2b	— and eventually win her for himself?
hvd.hn1e2b	— and what did that terrible look portend?
hvd.hn1e2b	— his seeing you on the street and then following you here?".
hvd.hn1e2b	— only to have the painter, after a minute, in- terrupt her excited imagination with: “ What's the matter with your tongue, Maggie?
hvd.hn1e2b	— or from Barney or Old Jimmie?"
hvd.hn1e2b	— or get me out of the way of something bigger?
hvd.hn1e2b	— or hand me the double- cross?".
hvd.hn1e2b	— or has had crooked inclinations or plans?"
hvd.hn1e2b	— or whoever it was that squealed on you? ” There was a momentary gleam in the hard, gray eyes.
hvd.hn1e2b	— the truth about those she had gone with and the life she had gone into?
hvd.hn1e2b	— where he hangs out? ”"No."
hvd.hn1e2b	“ A Kentucky feud?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And chuck us over- board?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And is it true that Maggie Carlisle is herself what is known as a crook?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And what are you doing out here, Gavegan?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And you love him? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And you think mine are good?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And you tried again to get her to give it up?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And you"— Maggie drove herself on —"do n't you ever want to see her? ” “ Of course I do.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ And you, Jimmie? ” Larry inquired, his eyes on Bar- ney's inflamed face.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Are you certain, Maggie, that the Duchess has n't heard from Larry?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Are you followed, sir?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ At once?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ At the Gran- tham – alone? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Barney — are you going to walk out, or shall I kick you out?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Belong here? ” “ I work here,"he explained.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But did he seem any less interested in you than before? ” Barney pursued.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But is to- night the first time you've seen him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But listen, Maggie, ” he asked with husky eagerness,"you and I are going to have an understanding to join up with each other soon, are n't we?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But say, young fellow, what made you decide to vote the other ticket?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But why did her man- ner change so when she heard Barney and the others?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But why not have a private pre- exhibition showing?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But why pose as a dub down here?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But you're going to come our way?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ But- but why the uncertainty about when he was coming back?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Ca n't you ever get that connection?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Come where?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Daughter, dear ” — plaintively to Maggie —"what is the crazy gentleman doing to me?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Dick, wo n't you please come up for just a little while?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Did I say that I was sore? ” queried Larry.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Did Joe ever mention its name?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Did he tell you where he came from?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Did n't you recognize me when you first saw me with Miss Sherwood?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Did you know him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Did your grandmother get you word about the police?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Do n't you get what that means?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Do n't you see?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Do you mind telling me what happened that night — and what Maggie's doing?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Do you think he-- he made a safe get- away?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ D’you suppose he could always have had that plan-- to make you into a crook? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Everything?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ For several weeks. ” “ Why did n't you tell me before?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Get one of the invitations to my show?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Going to go straight? ” she asked incredulously.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Good at what other things, Maggie?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Heard it from whom?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How about Toronto, Maggie — say exactly seventy- two hours from now-- the Royal Brunswick Hotel? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How about my time?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How can I tell what makes a man do something, and what makes him not do it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How do I know where he first saw me? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How do I know you're not trying to string me?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How do you come to be here with Maggie? ” he de- manded abruptly.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How long have you been here?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How much is this one? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How'd you come out with Miss Sherwood? ” he whispered eagerly.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ How?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ I hope I've done every- thing all right, Miss Sherwood?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ I must get away from here quick, so that I can think. ” “ May I come with you? ” “ No, Larry-- I must be alone.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ I want you to undertake to sell this picture. ” “ For how much? ” “ Five thousand dollars."
hvd.hn1e2b	“ In hiding?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Is Larry really coming?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Is it something you do n't want to let us in on?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Is n't that him at the door now?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Is that what you're doing now, working in a chorus?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Is that your only reason?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Is your hand hurt much? ” Maggie inquired eagerly.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ It is, ”"Sure you have n't been seeing him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ It's not Larry, after all?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Jimmie, did Larry ever use women in his stunts?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Jimmie, ” he remarked in his same even voice, “ any- thing more you'd like to say?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Just skinned my knuckles. ”"How?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Larry, you gone crazy? ” cried Old Jimmie.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Maggie — are you falling in love with him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Maggie — why not? ”"I ca n't.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Maggie, ever think about teaming up with Larry?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Maggie, what's this game you're up to? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Maggie, ” he demanded, “ is what Larry Brainard said about how he came here the truth?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Maggie- you're going away? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ May I ask just one favor in the meantime?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Mind telling me about it, Joe? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Miss Sherwood, you recall my once speaking about a man I got to be friends with in prison- Joe Ellison?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ No?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Not a cheap burglar? ”- hopefully.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Of course — why not?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Oh, why did n't you go before?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ One favor?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Only what, Casey?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Ready?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Red Hannigan is really the most important of Larry's old friends who are out to get him, is n't he?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Shall we sit down?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Shall we take a little stroll, Miss Cameron? ” Hunt asked.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ So she's not a crook, and you did n't make her one?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ So you have decided to string along with your father and Barney?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Something new about me?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ That friend of his, Larry?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ That's your ultimatum?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ The first is, I shall not be a stool. ” “ What's that? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ The idea suits you, Maggie? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ The only question is,"continued Barney, “ can Maggie put that stuff over?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Then Dick's coming? ” CHILDREN OF THE WHIRLWIND 275 “ Yes.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Then what's a great painter doing down here?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Then why, while you still had time, did n't you get farther away from New York than this?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Then you must have all known each other?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Then — you're not going to tell?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Then,"said Larry,“better lead your new commander- in- chief out of here, or I'll carry him out and spank him. ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Think it exactly wise for you two to come here? ” “ Why, Larry?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Think it exactly wise for you two to come here? ” “ Why, Larry?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ This Larry- what sort of chap is he, Maggie? ” As with most artists, talking did not interfere with Hunt's painting.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ We've got to look after him at once! ”"Tell the bunch he's back, and let them take care of him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Well, Maggie, ” he exulted,"have n't I made good so far in my bargain to put you over? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Well, sir, what do you think of me?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Well--- what if I do?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Well? ” prompted Old Jimmie.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Well? ” queried Larry when they were alone.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What about my father?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What are you doing here? ” she managed to breathe.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What are your own plans? ” “ I know I've got the makings of a real business man- I've already told you that, ” said Larry confidently.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What brought you out here like this, grandmother? ” Larry whispered in amazement as he sat down beside her.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What business is it of yours who I am? ” Barney tried to bluster.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What did he say?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What did he say?'
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What did you do that for?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What difference does that make?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What difference does that make? ” she demanded shortly.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What do I look like? ” “ Like Solomon in all his glory.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What do you say, Maggie, to a little walk?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What do you think of it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What for? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What is his whole name, and what was he sent up for?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What is the most Mr. Hunt ever was paid for a painting?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What kind of prices was Mr. Graham quoting?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What the dickens do you know about pictures?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What was her name?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What was the matter with you to- night, Maggie?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What was your pal's name, Joe?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What you talking about?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What ’re you driving at?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What're you go- ing to do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's Maggie up to?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's everything?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's the matter?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's the new proposition for swindling me?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's the point to that?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's this I've fallen into the middle of?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's this for? ” Larry asked.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What's your game down here, Hunt? ” he demanded harshly.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What? ” Though Barney's voice was low, it had the effect of a startled and savage roar.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ What?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ When did you ever paint her portrait, when you did not meet Miss Cameron till you met her here?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ When- when will he be here? ” “ Any minute,"said the Duchess.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ When?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Where am I going?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Where were you going? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Where's the first- aid room?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Which d'you think we ought to use, Barney?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Who is that man?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Who said I would n't give my promise?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Who should know it better than I do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why are you stopping? ” she asked in sudden alarm.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why should n't I go through with it?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why should n't she say that?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why, what's the matter, Maggie?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Wife?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Will you get Larry word? ” Maggie repeated impa- tiently.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Yes, I knew that you would. ” “ But how did you find out?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Yes?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You are aware of my brother's infatuation for her?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You are sick, Miss?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You both understand what you're to do?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You know the work of Mr. Jerome Hunt?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You love Miss Sherwood, do n't you?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You really mean, Larry,"demanded Old Jimmie, “ that you're going to drop us after us counting on you and waiting for you so long? ”.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You saw Maggie that night you hurried away from here?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You say you have never loved me? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You there"- to Hunt and the Duchess-"Where'd Brainard go?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You think I wo n't? ” “ I know you wo n't!
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You think I'm not clever enough?
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You think so? ” She flushed with pride and pleasure, and a wildness of spirit possessed her and demanded ex- pression in action.
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You think that's really going to happen?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You two will testify that I beat Casey up and then made my escape?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You went down to your grandmother's?".
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You — you know him?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You — you think I ca n't put it over?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You're mine, ai n't you?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You're sure she might turn out all right — that is, under better influences?"
hvd.hn1e2b	“ You've known this for some time, grandmother?"
hvd.32044020033684	Is there a telegraph office at this station? hvd.32044020033684 What is your name? » THE VANISHED MESSENGER 5 6 Gerald Fentolin. ” Mr. Dunster stood quite still for a moment.
hvd.32044020033684	Where are we? ” “ A few hundred yards from Wymondham. hvd.32044020033684 232 THE VANISHED MESSENGERWhy not? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044020033684	5 And who is he?"
hvd.32044020033684	50 THE VANISHED MESSENGER “ Whose house exactly is this?"
hvd.32044020033684	6 And the dispatch which I am carrying to The Hague?"
hvd.32044020033684	6 What time would you like your dinner, sir? ” she enquired.
hvd.32044020033684	6 Why are we waiting here? ”"There's a block on the line somewhere, sir, ” the man replied.
hvd.32044020033684	6 Will not be granted to me?
hvd.32044020033684	6 You are going back there? ” Mr. Fentolin asked, with interest.
hvd.32044020033684	66 He wanted me to remain here as a guest and not go to the Tower at all. ” “ And you? ” “ I am going to the Tower, ” he said.
hvd.32044020033684	66 What are you going to do about it? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.32044020033684	66 What have you to do with that?
hvd.32044020033684	A 40 THE VANISHED MESSENGER pleasant surprise, indeed, but what is the meaning of it?
hvd.32044020033684	A golf tournament, however, is scarcely worth risking your life for, is it?"
hvd.32044020033684	A motor- car, I believe?"
hvd.32044020033684	A well- living man, I hope?"
hvd.32044020033684	Am I a little spoilt, I wonder?
hvd.32044020033684	And meanwhile, dear Esther, would it be wise, I wonder, to see a little less of our friend Mr. Hamel?
hvd.32044020033684	And tell me what connection you find between these fancies of yours and that room?
hvd.32044020033684	And what about you, Geraldi What are you doing to- day?"
hvd.32044020033684	And what of my little commission, eh? ” The young man's face was dark and sullen.
hvd.32044020033684	And your brother — why does n't he do some- thing — go into one of the professions?
hvd.32044020033684	Any one else in your carriage? ” “ One gentleman travelling with me,"Gerald an- swered.
hvd.32044020033684	Are n't I here now to do it?"
hvd.32044020033684	Are you a politician, Mr. Hamel? ” “ Not in the least, ” Hamel replied.
hvd.32044020033684	Are you going there? ” THE VANISHED MESSENGER 71 He shook his head.
hvd.32044020033684	Are you having the wireless hauled down?"
hvd.32044020033684	Are you here to watch me, Mr. Hamel?
hvd.32044020033684	Are you sure that your information is re- liable?
hvd.32044020033684	Are you the doc- tor in the neighbourhood?"
hvd.32044020033684	Are you, by any chance, a bibliophile?
hvd.32044020033684	At present, well — just that word, if you please?
hvd.32044020033684	At the same time, you may be surprised to hear that Mr. Dunster has disappeared again. ” “ Disappeared again?"
hvd.32044020033684	But be- yond that, is there anything of which you are afraid?
hvd.32044020033684	But what secrets has he?"
hvd.32044020033684	But who brought him?
hvd.32044020033684	But why make a hermit of yourself?
hvd.32044020033684	By- the- by, have I told you both exactly why Mr. Hamel is a guest here to- night — why he came to these parts at all?
hvd.32044020033684	By- the- by, how do you get on with our friend Mr. Hamel?
hvd.32044020033684	By- the- by, what have you got wireless telegraphy for here, any- way?
hvd.32044020033684	Ca n't you accept the use of it all the rest of the time?
hvd.32044020033684	Ca n't you manage it?"
hvd.32044020033684	Can I beg a seat in your compartment, o anywhere in the train, as far as Harwich?"
hvd.32044020033684	Can you guess what I am going to do with them? ” “ It is not difficult, ” she replied.
hvd.32044020033684	Can you imagine what Mr. Fentolin has given me?"
hvd.32044020033684	Can you take me? ” The chauffeur looked doubtful.
hvd.32044020033684	Could n't you take her away there, take her right away, travel so fast that nothing could catch you, and hide- hide for a little time?"
hvd.32044020033684	Dick, what do you think of Miles Fentolin?"
hvd.32044020033684	Did she speak of me, by- the- by? ” “ She spoke of you as being a very kind- hearted man."
hvd.32044020033684	Did you find a flask, sir?"
hvd.32044020033684	Do you happen to have noticed what luggage he brought?"
hvd.32044020033684	Do you hear what they are crying?
hvd.32044020033684	Do you know for whom they call? ” Mr. Fentolin shrank back in his chair.
hvd.32044020033684	Do you know his name and all about him?"
hvd.32044020033684	Do you know that there is scarcely one of them who can swim?
hvd.32044020033684	Do you know that they say she is half- witted, Mr. Hamel?"
hvd.32044020033684	Do you know what I should do to- morrow if war broke out?
hvd.32044020033684	Do you paint, Mr. Hamel? ” “ Not at all, ” Hamel answered.
hvd.32044020033684	Do you realise that it is three o'clock?
hvd.32044020033684	Do you really wish to occupy this little shanty, Mr. Hamel? ” “ That was my idea, ” Hamel confessed.
hvd.32044020033684	Do you think you can do that for nothing?
hvd.32044020033684	Do you think you wo n't have to suffer for it?"
hvd.32044020033684	Do you understand what that means? ” “ Aye! ” she answered, looking down upon him as he lay doubled up at the bottom of the boat.
hvd.32044020033684	Do you want to suf- focate us all, or is the beer still in your head?
hvd.32044020033684	Does it frighten you? ” His face was suddenly livid, his eyes full of fierce anger.
hvd.32044020033684	Does it really amuse you to be so modern? ” “ To a certain extent, yes, ” Mr. Fentolin sighed, as he guided his chair along the hall.
hvd.32044020033684	Dunster?"
hvd.32044020033684	Dunster?"
hvd.32044020033684	Fentolin's light! ” “ They were wrecked? ” he asked her gently.
hvd.32044020033684	For what reason?
hvd.32044020033684	Gerald something or other I think he said his name was? ” “ Fentolin, ” the doctor said.
hvd.32044020033684	Gerald, do n't you feel your responsibility in the mat- ter? ” “ Yes, sir, I do! ” Gerald replied, with unexpected grimness.
hvd.32044020033684	Getting on for six feet, are n't you? ” “ Six feet two, sir."
hvd.32044020033684	Hamel, ” she said, “ tell me — what of your mission?
hvd.32044020033684	Has anything — is everything all right? ” “ Naturally, ” Mr. Fentolin replied easily.
hvd.32044020033684	Has curi- osity ever taken you within the walls of Sing Sing?
hvd.32044020033684	Have n't I done your bidding year by year?
hvd.32044020033684	Have you any idea what it is he works upon there? ” “ None, ” she answered.
hvd.32044020033684	Have you ever talked with a murderer, Mr. Dunster?
hvd.32044020033684	Have you formed any idea yourself as to the nature of this conference?"
hvd.32044020033684	Have you ill news for me? ” “ I have no news, ” she answered, gradually re- covering herself.
hvd.32044020033684	Have you looked at the pictures?"
hvd.32044020033684	Have you sat within the cell of a doomed man and felt the thrill of his touch, of his close presence?
hvd.32044020033684	Have you solved the puzzle yet? ” he asked Meekins.
hvd.32044020033684	He ca n't lie in the bar parlour all day, can he?"
hvd.32044020033684	He could surely leave easily enough? ” “ I will tell you a secret, ” she answered calmly.
hvd.32044020033684	He looked at the body of John Dunster upon the floor, and felt once more in his pocket, “ How far off is the garage? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	He uses it him- self very often. ” “ What for? ” She looked at her questioner quite steadfastly, quite quietly, speechlessly.
hvd.32044020033684	How am I this morning? ” THE VANISHED MESSENGER 55 The doctor held the thin wrist for a moment between his fingers, and let it go.
hvd.32044020033684	How did he find his way?"
hvd.32044020033684	How is it that you say nothing?"
hvd.32044020033684	How long is it since he died?"
hvd.32044020033684	How many people are in the trap? ”.
hvd.32044020033684	How would you like to see me there, eh, down at the bottom of that hungry sea?
hvd.32044020033684	I am leaving him the outhouse. ” “ He asked you to leave him that?"
hvd.32044020033684	I am only going as far as the village. ” “ May I come? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	I dare say you wonder, Mr. Hamel, why a poor useless creature like myself should take the slightest interest in passing events?
hvd.32044020033684	I do n't look much like cricket now, do I? ” Hamel looked at his companion thoughtfully.
hvd.32044020033684	I do n't sup- pose it will make any difference. ” “ Make any difference to what? ” “ I can not tell you,"she confessed.
hvd.32044020033684	I have not had much experience. ” “ How old are you? ” he asked bluntly.
hvd.32044020033684	I really ca n't see how it was possible for him to have got into any more trouble. ” “ Where is he, then? ” Kinsley demanded.
hvd.32044020033684	I see the press this morning is preach- ing an immediate declaration of war. ” “ Against whom?
hvd.32044020033684	I think we agree, do we not, on that, Esther? ” “ I do n't know,"she replied.
hvd.32044020033684	I trust that you have nothing serious against him?"
hvd.32044020033684	I will pay the extra mileage, naturally. ” “ How far did you wish to go, sir?"
hvd.32044020033684	I will take charge of these. ” “ You do not wish anything dispatched?"
hvd.32044020033684	I'm not sure that it's for his good. ” “ And what business is it of yours, I should like to know? ” the woman demanded sharply.
hvd.32044020033684	Is he a criminal, then? ” She opened her lips and closed them again.
hvd.32044020033684	Is he a decent sort of fellow in other ways?
hvd.32044020033684	Is he restless at all? ” “ He wants to get on with his journey. ” “ We shall see, ” Mr. Fentolin remarked.
hvd.32044020033684	Is it true, uncle, that we may be at war at any moment? ” Mr. Fentolin sighed.
hvd.32044020033684	Is n't there any chance that he might find out? ” “ I do n't know,"she answered.
hvd.32044020033684	Is one of them, by any chance, wearing a uniform?, ” “ They both are, ” Hamel replied.
hvd.32044020033684	Is there any- thing in particular the matter?
hvd.32044020033684	Is there anything I can do for you, Gerald?
hvd.32044020033684	Is there anything I can do? ” “ Your niece has gone out to lunch, Hamel re- plied shortly.
hvd.32044020033684	It has been suggested to me that you are a spy. ” “ By whom?"
hvd.32044020033684	It is a strangely situ- ated abode, is n't it? ” “ Wonderful! ” he agreed, with emphasis.
hvd.32044020033684	It will give me the utmost pleasure to wel- come you there, ” he went on earnestly,"and as for this little place, of what use is it to you?
hvd.32044020033684	Let me ask you a plain question What do you think of us all?"
hvd.32044020033684	Let's cover him up quick and wait. ” “ Ca n't we carry him to shelter of some sort?"
hvd.32044020033684	Listen — you are our friend, Mr. Hamel — Esther's and mine?
hvd.32044020033684	Looks rather like the inn for me! ” “ And who might you be, gentleman?"
hvd.32044020033684	May I ask whether it was alto- gether a haphazard one? ” “ Absolutely, ” Lord Saxthorpe declared.
hvd.32044020033684	May my man have a cup of coffee, sir?
hvd.32044020033684	Might I ask if you are fully qualified? ” “ I am an M.D.
hvd.32044020033684	Might I suggest that you telephone to Norwich for a sur- geon?
hvd.32044020033684	Mr. Dunster left for Yarmouth, you say, yesterday morning? ” “ I saw him go myself.
hvd.32044020033684	Mr. Hamel, I am sure, did not tell you of his destina- tion? ” He watched them keenly.
hvd.32044020033684	Mr. Hamel, you will walk by my side, will you not?
hvd.32044020033684	No signs of palpitation?"
hvd.32044020033684	No word has come from him of any sort since he left St. David's Hall. ” “ Have you tried to trace him from there? ” Hamel asked.
hvd.32044020033684	No?
hvd.32044020033684	Now tell me, do n't you think this is ingenious?"
hvd.32044020033684	Now, what about our patient?"
hvd.32044020033684	One up, are you?
hvd.32044020033684	Or do you want to go and see where the little brown people live among the mimosa and the cherry blos- soms?
hvd.32044020033684	Perhaps after lunch, Mr. Fentolin, you will let some of your people telephone to the police- station at Wells?
hvd.32044020033684	Perhaps you will find it and pay for these. ” “ Is there anything more,"the doctor asked, “ that can be done for your comfort?"
hvd.32044020033684	Quite violent, too, he was at first. ” “ Have you had any outside advice about his con- dition?"
hvd.32044020033684	Sarson was very angry about it, but what can you do with these fellows who are never ill?
hvd.32044020033684	Shall I send out the various checks to those men in Paris, New York, Frankfort, St. Petersburg, and Tokio?"
hvd.32044020033684	She THE VANISHED MESSENGER 69 Now, I wonder, is it low tide or high?
hvd.32044020033684	She spoke to you, I think?"
hvd.32044020033684	So silly, is n't it?
hvd.32044020033684	Surely you can see and appreciate the danger with which your country is threatened?"
hvd.32044020033684	Swear that you are our friend? ” “ Upon my honour, I am, ” he assured her.
hvd.32044020033684	THE VANISHED MESSENGER 157 “ So you have interpreted my cipher?"
hvd.32044020033684	THE VANISHED MESSENGER 227 “ Secrets?
hvd.32044020033684	THE VANISHED MESSENGER 49 “ Please tell me where I am?
hvd.32044020033684	Tell it me at once?
hvd.32044020033684	Tell me at once what has happened?"
hvd.32044020033684	Tell me what you thought? ” She had turned her head now, and her eyes were fixed upon his.
hvd.32044020033684	Tell me, when I was up- stairs, this fellow Hamel — was he talking confidentially to Ger- ald?"
hvd.32044020033684	That was really the reason I went in for all these modern appliances. ” “ And now?
hvd.32044020033684	That woman has upset nie. ” “ Miss Price?"
hvd.32044020033684	Was it his fevered fancy or was there also something a little sinister?
hvd.32044020033684	We know just as much as that and not much more. ” “ A conference between whom?"
hvd.32044020033684	We passed Forncett, anyhow, some time ago. ” “ Still raining? ” “ In torrents!
hvd.32044020033684	We've just heard that there's a bridge down on the line between Ipswich and Harwich. ” “ What are we going to do, then?
hvd.32044020033684	Well, Mr. Hamel, and how are you going to amuse your- self to- day?"
hvd.32044020033684	What about the guard and engine- driver?"
hvd.32044020033684	What about you, young man?
hvd.32044020033684	What are you doing there? ” She rose to her feet.
hvd.32044020033684	What do you make of that black speck? ” Hamel held the telescope to his eye and steadied.
hvd.32044020033684	What does it all mean?
hvd.32044020033684	What is it that you have in your hands, Doctor?
hvd.32044020033684	What is the matter?"
hvd.32044020033684	What of his golf, Esther, eh? ” “ Mr. Hamel plays very well, indeed, ” the girl re- plied.
hvd.32044020033684	What of our patient?"
hvd.32044020033684	What sound had awakened him?
hvd.32044020033684	What will Mr. Hamel think of our country ways?
hvd.32044020033684	What's that?
hvd.32044020033684	What's the good of sitting there whining?"
hvd.32044020033684	What's to become of poor England then?
hvd.32044020033684	Where are those dear puppies?
hvd.32044020033684	Where is my dressing- bag? ” “ It is here by the side of your bed. ” “.And my pocket- book?"
hvd.32044020033684	Where is my dressing- bag? ” “ It is here by the side of your bed. ” “.And my pocket- book?"
hvd.32044020033684	Which of you will be- gin the epic of missed putts and brassey shots which failed by a foot to carry?"
hvd.32044020033684	Who the mischief are you, Mr. Fentolin, and what are you interfering about? ” Mr. Fentolin smiled queerly.
hvd.32044020033684	Who threw your uncle over the para- pet?
hvd.32044020033684	Why are you here?"
hvd.32044020033684	Why do you come and listen here?"
hvd.32044020033684	Why do you worry about my point of view?
hvd.32044020033684	Why not practise golf a little more assiduously?
hvd.32044020033684	Why should you force me to disclose my plans?
hvd.32044020033684	Why, therefore, should you treat me as though it were to my interest to inveigle you under my roof and keep you there for some guilty purpose?
hvd.32044020033684	Why?
hvd.32044020033684	You are Eng- lish, are you not?
hvd.32044020033684	You are an Englishman, are you not?"
hvd.32044020033684	You are entirely sati isfied, Sarson?
hvd.32044020033684	You are keeping nothing back from me?
hvd.32044020033684	You are not going to shut yourself up, are you?
hvd.32044020033684	You are not ill, I trust?
hvd.32044020033684	You do not really wish me to believe that you have brought him here as a guest?
hvd.32044020033684	You have n't got such a thing as a mysterious invalid in the house, have you? ” There was a moment's rather curious silence.
hvd.32044020033684	You have not forgotten, young man, the burden you carry?"
hvd.32044020033684	You know that it was the re- sult of an accident?"
hvd.32044020033684	You know what happened there, Mr. Hamel? ” “ You mean where Mr. Fentolin met with his ac- cident."
hvd.32044020033684	You never saw a vehicle like this in all your travellings, did you? ” Hamel shook his head.
hvd.32044020033684	You saw him depart. ” “ What about his papers?"
hvd.32044020033684	You saw him, too, did n't you, Mr. Hamel? ” “ I certainly did, ” Hamel admitted.
hvd.32044020033684	You see that great post at the entrance to the river there?"
hvd.32044020033684	You see the road there?
hvd.32044020033684	You think you could pass your examinations?"
hvd.32044020033684	You understand me, I am sure? ” For the first time she turned her head towards him.
hvd.32044020033684	You will not mind?
hvd.32044020033684	You'd miss me, would n't you?
hvd.32044020033684	You'll come and play golf again? ” “ If he will let me, ” she promised.
hvd.32044020033684	Your allowance, for instance — a trifling increase or an advance?
hvd.32044020033684	Your business, I presume, is with the gen- eral shop?"
hvd.32044020033684	husband, does she?
hvd.32044020033684	now, that you can spend a fortnight more pleasantly under such circumstances than by playing the misan- thrope down at the Tower?"
hvd.32044020033684	she asked, “ a man who is really and actually wanted by Scotland Yard?
hvd.32044020033684	that the accident happened. ”"What accident? ” “ Mr. Fentolin's, ” she continued.
hvd.32044020033684	to the beach. ” “ What is your name?
hvd.32044020033684	which Pras pose?
hvd.32044020033684	“ A limit to your complacence, I presume?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Against my will?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ And if I give you that one word?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ And we will walk back together? ” “ We will walk back together, ” she promised him.
hvd.32044020033684	“ And what might my profession be, Mr. Fento- lin?
hvd.32044020033684	“ And what will the end be?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ And who is this singular person? ” Hamel asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ And why should they? ” his wife interposed sharply.
hvd.32044020033684	“ And yet?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are n't you afraid to have him in the house?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are you Mr. Fentolin?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are you Mr. John P. Dunster?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are you a brave man, Mr. Hamel? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are you entirely deserted, Mr. Hamel?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are you used to prayer, young sir? ” the woman asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Are you?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ But he's an Englishman, surely?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ But how on earth did you get to know about me, ” Mr. Dunster asked, “ and my errand?
hvd.32044020033684	“ By whom?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Ca n't I go out of sight somewhere? ”.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Ca n't you light the fire, woman?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can I hire a motor- car from anywhere near? ” Gerald asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can I speak to you for a moment, sir?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can I speak to you for one moment first? ” “ Speak to me?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can I speak to you for one moment first? ” “ Speak to me?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can we get into the house without waking any one? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can you see? ” she whispered.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Can you tell me any date, Doctor, upon which I can rely upon leaving here?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Could n't you hear that?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Did n't you hear what I said?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Did n't you know that I was longing for a walk?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Did you hear anything which made you want to listen?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do I show any signs of forgetting?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do n't you see?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you hear?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you know that this is all rather mysterious?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you know the time, Mrs. Cox? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you know who the fellow is?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you know, ” he muttered, his voice still shak- ing a little, “ that I believe sometimes I am afraid of you?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you mean personally?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you mean that you are the son of Hamel, the R.A., who used 102 THE VANISHED MESSENGER to be in these parts so often?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you mean to say that this man Fentolin actu- ally possesses information which the Government has n't as to the intentions of foreign Powers?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you mean to say, then, that I am to be kept here against my will? ” Mr. Fentolin made no immediate reply.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you think so?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you understand it?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Do you want any one in from the tele- graph room?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Does Esther care?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ For how long? ” “ For a week or so.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Gerald, will you take the inspector up to Mr. Dunster's rooms?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Getting ready for what?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Has Mr. Fentolin sent you here?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Have you any idea where we are?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Have you ever stopped to think what war means — the war you speak of so lightly?
hvd.32044020033684	“ He could go anywhere when he chose, or how he chose — through the keyhole, if he wanted. ” “ But why listen?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ How can I tell?
hvd.32044020033684	“ How can we attack the other half?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ How is the patient?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ How many are there of you? ” he asked, as he bent over Mr. Dunster.
hvd.32044020033684	“ How should I read your thoughts?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ I do n't think that I need repeat what I said when I first came, need I?
hvd.32044020033684	“ I fancy I should rather like it Let's see whether we can get on to Norwich, any- how, shall we?
hvd.32044020033684	“ I have n't seen much of him. ” “ He and Esther are together a great deal, eh? ” Mr. Fentolin asked quickly.
hvd.32044020033684	“ I have scarcely opened a serious book since I was at Oxford. ” “ What was your year? ” Mr. Fentolin asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ I think that I am more afraid of him than any woman ever was of any man in this world. ” “ Then why do you live here? ” he protested.
hvd.32044020033684	“ I trust that your first night in your new abode has been a pleasant one?
hvd.32044020033684	“ I'm on for anything. ” “ You say that you are entirely your own master for the next six months?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ If I can not get to Harwich,"he asked, “ is there any possibility of keeping straight on and reaching Yarmouth? ” The guard hesitated.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Indeed?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Indeed? ” Mr. Fentolin exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Indeed? ” he replied.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is any one there? ” Still no answer.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is he an inventor? ” “ You ask me idle questions, ” she sighed.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is he asleep?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is it my fancy, I wonder, as an observant person, or is he just a little — just a little taken with you, Esther?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is my friend badly hurt?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is there really going to be war? ” he de- manded.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Is your St. David's Tower anywhere near a place called Salthouse? ” he asked reflectively.
hvd.32044020033684	“ It does n't look worth quarrelling over, does it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ It does not terrify you, then, ” he asked curiously, “ to think that a man under this roof is about to die? ” “ Why should it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ It does not terrify you, then, ” he asked curiously, “ to think that a man under this roof is about to die? ” “ Why should it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ It is on your dressing- table. ” “ Have any of my things been looked at?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ It really appears as though your con- clusions were correct. ” “ Then will you tell me why I am kept a prisoner here?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ It's natural to be cheerful, is n't it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Listen, ” she interrupted, “ you are a traveller, are you not?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Look here, ” Hamel continued, “ what are you doing in this business, anyway?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Look here, ” he said, “ that's all right, but do you suppose you wo n't be punished for what you've done to me?
hvd.32044020033684	“ May I ask for your explanation or your ex- cuse?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Miles, ” she said, “ forgive me, but are you sure that you are not getting a little out of your depth?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Miss Fentolin is well, I hope? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Mother was n't able to persuade you to stay?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Mr. Fentolin, ” he asked, “ have you any ob- jection to my seeing Mr. Dunster? ” There was a moment's intense silence.
hvd.32044020033684	“ My dear Florence, ” he asked, “ where are the others?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ My dear Gerald, is there ever a mo- ment when I am not wholly at your service?
hvd.32044020033684	“ My dear and valued guest, ” he protested, “ why so forbidding an idea?
hvd.32044020033684	“ My dear boy, ” he said, “ tell me why you look as though there were ghosts flitting about the room?
hvd.32044020033684	“ My dear sister, why so silent? ” Mrs. Fentolin turned slowly towards him.
hvd.32044020033684	“ No one has been in there this morning, have they?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Not a criminal at all? ” “ Not as I know of,"the inspector assented.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Nothing definite to tell us, then?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Now what about his possessions? ” “ There's a man coming down shortly from Scot- land Yard, ” the inspector announced, a little gloom- ily.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Now, Mr. Hamel, you are going to be gracious, are n't you?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Of course,"he went on, “ I knew that these links were good — quite famous, are n't they?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Please tell me just what has happened? ” he begged.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Please, ” she begged, “ will you say or do nothing at all for a little time, until I tell you when?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Queer country this, is n't it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Rather a quick recovery, was n't it, nurse?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Refreshed, I hope, by your bath and change, my dear visitor?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Shall I? ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Shall you be staying here long, sir?
hvd.32044020033684	“ So you have quite made up your mind to leave us?
hvd.32044020033684	“ So you think they wo n't believe my story, eh?
hvd.32044020033684	“ So you're a golfer, are you? ” “ I play a bit,"was the somewhat indifferent reply.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Sounds a silly thing to ask you, does n't it?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Supposing I desire you to know?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Supposing I tell you that it is your duty to know?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Tell me about some of the places you have visited?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Tell me, please, what is the matter?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Tell me, whereabouts does he live?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ That is to show them the way in at night, is n't it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ That may be truthful, ” she remarked, “ but you would n't call it polite, would you? ” 6 The subject of my thoughts is my excuse.
hvd.32044020033684	“ That's something, anyway. ” “ And all downhill. ” “ Towards the sea, then?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ The tide, ” she told him,"is almost at its lowest. ” “ You live in this neighbourhood, perhaps?
hvd.32044020033684	“ The young gentle- man with whom you were travelling is his nephew. ” “ Can I send a telegram?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Then these arrests, ” Hamel remarked,"are really bona fide?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Then what about me? ” Gerald exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Then what will you say, ” he enquired, “ if I admire the angle of that quill in your hat? ” “ Do n't do it, ” she laughed.
hvd.32044020033684	“ There are things here which I do not understand — which certainly require explanation. ” “ Still, why do you make them your business?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ There's nothing seriously wrong, is there, Reg- gie? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Think of you? ” Hamel repeated, a little doubt- fully.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Tired of me already?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ To spy upon him, Mrs. Fentolin?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Trace him?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Was it my mashie shots you were worrying about?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Was your father a great friend of Mr. Fentolin's, then?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Well, I scarcely came on a visit to St. David's Hall, did I? ” he reminded her.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Well, well, why not?
hvd.32044020033684	“ What are you doing, woman?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ What are you going to do now? ” she whis- pered.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What did mother say?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ What do you mean by this? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What do you mean?
hvd.32044020033684	“ What have you two been doing in there?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is it that you are going to ask me? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is it, Mrs. Cox? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is mysterious?
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is the meaning of this? ” Mr. Fentolin de- manded, his voice shrill with anger.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is the nature of your pressing business at The Hague? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is there in your work that you are afraid I might see?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ What is your name?
hvd.32044020033684	“ What reason did he give for keeping possession of that?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ What train might you have been on? ” the woman continued.
hvd.32044020033684	“ What use do you make of them now?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Where are you, Mee- kins?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Where did you get all the linen up- stairs from, Mrs. Cox? ” he asked her, when he descended.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Where is this shanty, as you call it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Which way to the sea?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who are you?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who can tell?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who can tell?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who can tell? ” she answered.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who has been in here? ” Mr. Fentolin demanded, as he looked around the place.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who's going away this morning, I wonder?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who's there, I say?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Who's there? ” he cried.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why are we travelling like this?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why brave? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why do you bring me here to talk like this?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why do you do that? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why not come out with Miss Fentolin and me?
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why not? ” she murmured, as though arguing with some unseen critic of her thoughts.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why not? ” “ Do n't ask me, ” she begged.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why not? ” “ I am not a rich man, ” Hamel went on, “ but I am fairly well off.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why not? ” “ You have n't any servants nor any furniture nor things to cook with. ” He laughed.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why ought it? ” The question was a little bewildering.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why should I? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why were you listening there? ” Her face was absolutely expressionless.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why, are you going to keep house for me, Mrs. Cox? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Why, it's barely a quarter of a mile from the sea, is n't it?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ Yes?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You are Mr. Hamel, are n't you? ” “ Certainly, ” he replied.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You are not afraid of cold? ” He followed her without a word.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You are particularly anxious to cross to- night? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You begin to understand, do n't you?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You got my wire, then?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You have been making use of this little shanty, have n't you? ” he asked bluntly.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You know the name of my unknown guest? ” “ I know nothing, ” she replied.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You know who is in this house? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You live in this part of the world, then?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You made a note of that?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You mean that he is going? ” Hamel asked in- credulously.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You mean, then, ” he asked, “ that you do not in- tend to humour me in this little matter?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You really mean, then, that you are going to leave us?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You remember the outcry over the withdrawal of our Mediterranean Fleet?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You see that row of lights?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You see, my medical friend, that there has been a great tide in the night, following upon the flood?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You understand?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You will not go away just yet? ” she asked softly THE VANISHED MESSENGER 139: “ You are going to stay for a few days, at any rate?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You will not go away just yet? ” she asked softly THE VANISHED MESSENGER 139: “ You are going to stay for a few days, at any rate?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You wo n't forget to telephone about this guest of yours? ” he asked fussily.
hvd.32044020033684	“ You would leave us so abruptly?
hvd.32044020033684	“ You'll forgive my curiosity, ” he said, “ but say, is there nothing you could get into and fight if this thing came along?"
hvd.32044020033684	“ You'll wait until the doctor comes back? ” the landlord asked.
hvd.32044020033684	“ Your pulse is wonderful. ” “ Not hurried?
hvd.32044020033684	” “ You are not going in there at all?"
hvd.32044086882628	, “ And — silence about the other?'
hvd.32044086882628	- “ Which of them is it, then? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882628	- “ You ca n’t very well choke the life out of me in your own office, can you?
hvd.32044086882628	118 THE BOROUGH TREASURER Why not?
hvd.32044086882628	162 THE BOROUGH TREASURER “ Well? ” he demanded, with a side- glance to assure himself that Cotherstone was at hand.
hvd.32044086882628	180 THE BOROUGH TREASURER “ Can you go there now? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	277 278 THE BOROUGH TREASURER What were those two devils after, he wondered as he lay there in the darkness?
hvd.32044086882628	A little rise i'the ground where the fairies used to dance, you know, master. ” “ You saw him? ” asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	A man might kill any poisonous insect, any noxious reptile at pleas- ure — why not a human blood- sucker like that?
hvd.32044086882628	Absurdl No — a thousand times no l ’ ’ “ Well — and what then? ” asked Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	All full here! — unless you ’d like a shakedown I4I 144 THE BOROUGH TREASURER “ Oh, indeed, sir? ” he said.
hvd.32044086882628	All of it — ain’t even taken my costs, my expenses, and my commission out of it — ye. ” “ How much did you sell for? ” asked Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	An annuity, now? — that would suit me. ’ ’ “ You have n’t mentioned this to a soul? ’ ’ asked Cotherstone anxiously.
hvd.32044086882628	An annuity, now? — that would suit me. ’ ’ “ You have n’t mentioned this to a soul? ’ ’ asked Cotherstone anxiously.
hvd.32044086882628	And Mr. Mallalieu lost his temper and said angry things. ” I84 THE BOROUGH THEASURER “ And your father? ” said Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	And if one has a pedigree, why not have it properly searched out?
hvd.32044086882628	And now, how much are you reckoninng to get out of me — what? ” “ No performance, no pay! ” said Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	And so — I paid. ” “ But — I’m only suggesting — you could have paid a long time before that, could n’t you? ” said Talling- ton.
hvd.32044086882628	And so — so you see how even a little clue like that might help, eh? ” “ I ’ll see to it, ” assented the superintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	And the thing now is — what ’s the best line to take?
hvd.32044086882628	And we know over yonder that that ’s not likely. ” “ Aye? ” said the superintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	And why were they mixed up with Wilchester?
hvd.32044086882628	And yet — what could, and what can we do? ” “ Oh, nothing, at present, ” replied Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	And — I heard more than I expected to hear! ” “ What? ” asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	And — had Cotherstone any reason — of his own, or shared with his partner — for wishing to get rid of Kitely?
hvd.32044086882628	And — here ’s pow- erful help. ” “ You ’ll do what ’s suggested here? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882628	And — ” “ And — what? ” asked Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	Are you coming out? ” “ Not yet, ” replied Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	Aught that ’s serious?
hvd.32044086882628	Bent? ” she said, before either of the young men could speak.
hvd.32044086882628	Bent? ” she went on.
hvd.32044086882628	Brereton — how are things going?
hvd.32044086882628	Business? ” Cotherstone put his lips almost close to Mallalieu ’s ear.
hvd.32044086882628	Business? ” “ Just a bit of business, ” answered Stoner.
hvd.32044086882628	But I suppose you ’ve heard of the find at Harborough's cottage? ” “ No l ’ ’ exclaimed Brereton, startled out of his habitual composure.
hvd.32044086882628	But did it refer to the same event to which Kitely made reference in his memorandum?
hvd.32044086882628	But he ’d be very like to have a good deal more than usual on him tonight. ” “ Why? ” asked the sergeant.
hvd.32044086882628	But if you do, you know what to expect. ” “ Not a word that I came in here, then?'
hvd.32044086882628	But the figures?
hvd.32044086882628	But the main thing was — what was Cotherstone doing during that hour of absence?
hvd.32044086882628	But what do you want? ” she continued, a little impa- tiently.
hvd.32044086882628	But — this plan o'yours?
hvd.32044086882628	But — what did they expect to get from him?
hvd.32044086882628	But — what else?
hvd.32044086882628	But — what had he to do with this?
hvd.32044086882628	But — what?
hvd.32044086882628	Came from Darling- ton, eh?
hvd.32044086882628	Can you read it in this light? ” “ I will, ” answered Brereton, drawing a scrap of paper from the envelope.
hvd.32044086882628	Can you say how it came about? ” Dr. Rockcliffe pursed up his lips and his face be- came inscrutable.
hvd.32044086882628	Cotherstone!—do you know who killed Eitely? ” “ No l ’ ’ answered Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	Curse it!—was ever anything so unfortunate — however could he have so far lost his head as to forget it?
hvd.32044086882628	D'ye hear that? ” Christopher rose, opened the door, and softly called Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	D'ye see through it?
hvd.32044086882628	D'ye think I ’ve been a justice of the peace for twelve years with- out knowing what law is?
hvd.32044086882628	Did any- body else know what Stoner knew?
hvd.32044086882628	Did n’t notice anybody follow- ing him? ” “ No, ” replied the ticket- collector with decision.
hvd.32044086882628	Do you 194 THE BOROUGH, TREASURER suppose that unfortunate lad Stoner kept his knowl- edge to himself?
hvd.32044086882628	Do you believe that any jury would convict a man on what you ’ve got?
hvd.32044086882628	Do you happen to know what he had on him º'?
hvd.32044086882628	Do you really mean to tell me that you have n’t an idea of what all this means? ” “ Not an idea! ” replied Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	Do you think he had any enemies? ” Pett put his long white fingers together and in- clined his head to one side.
hvd.32044086882628	Do you think it likely that he ’d have killed Kitely for thirty pounds?
hvd.32044086882628	Do you think it possible it was some other person?
hvd.32044086882628	Do you want to expose yourself again to what you got outside the Town Hall this noon?
hvd.32044086882628	Does no one know anything about this?
hvd.32044086882628	Eh? ’ ” Cotherstone made no answer.
hvd.32044086882628	Eh? ” “ May have been one, may have been the other, may have been both, for aught I know, ” retorted Stoner.
hvd.32044086882628	Five hun- dred pounds!—what was it in comparison with what he might get by a little skilful playing of his cards?
hvd.32044086882628	For instance, did it take him out at regular hours? ” “ No, it did n't.
hvd.32044086882628	Get to all that now — at once! ” “ You think it's Harborough, then? ” said the su- perintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	Had Coth- erstone, had Mallalieu anything to do with Kitely ’s death?
hvd.32044086882628	Had he no business? ” “ He had business, ” said Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	Had they any connexion with the word?
hvd.32044086882628	Has any fresh light been thrown on the Kitely murder?
hvd.32044086882628	Have you called the police? ” “ I sent the man from the cottage at the foot of your garden, ” answered Garthwaite.
hvd.32044086882628	Have you heard what ’s happened tonight? ” “ Heard naught, ” replied Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	He had made one complete disappearance already; why not make another?
hvd.32044086882628	He was there — that day. ” “ Tracked us down? ” asked Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	How did I know he were in grey clothes?
hvd.32044086882628	How did Stoner know that some of the Norcaster and London detec- tives were n't on the job already?
hvd.32044086882628	How do you do, sir? ’ ’ he went on, giving his hand to the stranger.
hvd.32044086882628	How do you know I shall be safe? ” “ Because I'll take good care that you are, ” answered Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	How do you like it? ” “ Me! ” exclaimed Cotherstone, surprised.
hvd.32044086882628	How does that strike you — as a theory? ” “ Very good, sir, ” replied the superintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	How had Stoner acquired his information?
hvd.32044086882628	How much do you want?
hvd.32044086882628	I daresay you see what I mean? ” “ Ca n't say that I do, sir, ” answered the super- intendent.
hvd.32044086882628	I do n’t know what it was. ” “ Never mentioned it to you? ” “ Never in his life. ” “ Did you gain no idea of it?
hvd.32044086882628	I do n’t know what it was. ” “ Never mentioned it to you? ” “ Never in his life. ” “ Did you gain no idea of it?
hvd.32044086882628	I repeat — what does it look like? ” “ What do you propose to do? ’ ’ asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	I repeat — what does it look like? ” “ What do you propose to do? ’ ’ asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	I say — is there anything afoot about here?—anything going on? ” “ Why? ” asked Miss Pett, producing the whisky.
hvd.32044086882628	I say — is there anything afoot about here?—anything going on? ” “ Why? ” asked Miss Pett, producing the whisky.
hvd.32044086882628	I sent him a telegram first thing this morn- ing. ” “ Asking him to bring the will? ” “ No, I did not! ” exclaimed Miss Pett, indignantly.
hvd.32044086882628	I shall feel safer — you understand? ’ ’.
hvd.32044086882628	I thought you wanted things kept quiet for your lass's sake?
hvd.32044086882628	I wonder if his daughter can persuade him? ” “ Is n’t that his daughter coming towards us? ” in- quired Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	I wonder if his daughter can persuade him? ” “ Is n’t that his daughter coming towards us? ” in- quired Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	I ’m astonished at you. ” “ Well, how much, then? ” growled Christopher.
hvd.32044086882628	I ’ve warned him more than once. ” “ But why? ” asked Brereton, whose curiosity was impelling him to take a part in this drama.
hvd.32044086882628	In that case, who's the guilty person? ” “ Ah, who indeed? ” assented Brereton, half care- lessly.
hvd.32044086882628	In that case, who's the guilty person? ” “ Ah, who indeed? ” assented Brereton, half care- lessly.
hvd.32044086882628	It was more than flesh and blood could stand, and — Lord ha ’ mercy, what's to be done? ” The autumn twilight was creeping over the moor.
hvd.32044086882628	It ’s your conviction? ” “ It ’s mine, ” answered Tallington quietly.
hvd.32044086882628	It's hard — it ’s blessed hard'And — what does he want?
hvd.32044086882628	It's this — is my daughter going to suffer from aught that may or may not be raked up against her father?
hvd.32044086882628	Mallows& Chidforth — aye! ” “ Famous case that, sir? ’ ’ asked Stoner.
hvd.32044086882628	Murder, eh? ” “ No- fraud, embezzlement, defalcation — I forget what the proper legal term'ud be, ” replied Mr. Pur- sey.
hvd.32044086882628	Murder?
hvd.32044086882628	No more than that? ” he went on, when he had heard what Garthwaite could tell.
hvd.32044086882628	No other course — none! ” “ Bent first? ” asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	No! ” “ Whose, then? ” asked Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	Nothing really certain and definite you say?
hvd.32044086882628	Now he wanted to know what it meant, what it signified, what was its true relation to the case?
hvd.32044086882628	Now that I know what ’s to be faced — ” he twisted suddenly on Garthwaite — “ what makes you think it's murder? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882628	Now then, you shall all know the truth about that I did two years — for what?
hvd.32044086882628	Now what can we infer from that but that the murderer actually stopped by his victim to examine the papers?
hvd.32044086882628	Now what does it mean?
hvd.32044086882628	Now which on us would you be in- clined to fix it on, Mr. Stoner?
hvd.32044086882628	Now — how?
hvd.32044086882628	Now, how was he taken? ” he went on, turning to the policeman who had summoned him.
hvd.32044086882628	Now, is there any man in his common senses would believe that if I did that job, I should leave such a bit of clear evi- dence behind me?
hvd.32044086882628	Of course we all went up. ” “ Then — you’ve seen him? ” demanded Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	Of course, she wants to tell you something relating to your father. ” “ You think so? ” said Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	Of course, to me it ’s the very surest proof that this man Harborough had nothing to do with the murder. ’ ’- “ Why? ” asked Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	Of course, you came up North after you ’d done your time?
hvd.32044086882628	Oh, yes, we remember that case very well indeed in Wilchester, do n’t we, Maria? ” “ And good reason l ’ ’ agreed Mrs. Pursey warmly.
hvd.32044086882628	Or aught of that sort? ” The superintendent shook his head.
hvd.32044086882628	Or footprints?
hvd.32044086882628	Queer pair they make if you ever see them together! ” “ Does she live with him? ” asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	Received from whom?
hvd.32044086882628	She did n’t know how much. ” “ But she thought he ’d have it on him when he was NIGHT WORK 65 attacked? ” asked Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	Should he tell all he knew to Avice Harborough?
hvd.32044086882628	Sit you down — would you like a drop of good whisky, now? ” Mallalieu sat down and stared his hardest at Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	So Kitely was in close communication with Bent, was he?—constantly seeing him, being employed by him?
hvd.32044086882628	So Windle Bent was one of those chaps who have what folk call family pride, was he?
hvd.32044086882628	Strangled?
hvd.32044086882628	That So? ” “ So she said, your Worship, ” answered the Sergeant.
hvd.32044086882628	That is unless — you un- derstand? ” “ Understand what? ” screamed Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	That is unless — you un- derstand? ” “ Understand what? ” screamed Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	That the cottage? ” he went on, pointing to a dim light ahead of him.
hvd.32044086882628	That's all. ” “ Where? ’ ’ demanded Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	That's it, master, what? ” “ That is it, ” answered Brereton, pressing his arm against Avice, who sat close at his side.
hvd.32044086882628	The big question with him as he went home in the evening was — was he safe until the afternoon of the next day?
hvd.32044086882628	There ’s my daughter to think of. ” “ D’ye think I'd let it get out? ” asked Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	There! ” “ And you wo n’t say that word? ” asked Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	There'd been no robbery. ” “ I suppose you took a look round? ” asked Coth- erstone.
hvd.32044086882628	They ai n’t suspicioning him? ” “ No, but for killing his clerk, who ’d found some- thing out, ” replied Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	They were all hidden in a hole in the thatch of Harbor- ough's shed. ” “ Where are they? ” asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	Two thousand pounds! ” “ Two thousand pounds? ” exclaimed Stoner, whose thoughts went like lightning to the half- sheet of fools- cap.
hvd.32044086882628	Very well, then| You remem- ber the night of Kitely's murder? ” “ Aye, I should think sol ” said the superintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	Was he alone? ” “ Quite alone, sir. ” “ You did n’t see anybody else going that way across the moors, did you?
hvd.32044086882628	Was he alone? ” “ Quite alone, sir. ” “ You did n’t see anybody else going that way across the moors, did you?
hvd.32044086882628	Was he the sort of man to stand the knowledge which Kitely might give him?
hvd.32044086882628	Was it possible that he had communicated what he knew to any of his friends?
hvd.32044086882628	Was it possible — the thought came to him like a thunderclap in the darkness — that they knew, or had some idea, of what he really had on him?
hvd.32044086882628	Was there any love af- fair — jealousy, you know — anything of that sort? ” “ No, I'm sure there was n't, ” replied the super- intendent.
hvd.32044086882628	Well — you'll under- stand, likely — it had n’t been long done! ” “ You noticed that? ’ ” said Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	Well, any fresh news about this last bad business?
hvd.32044086882628	Well, my lad, what is it? ” THE MEDICAL OPINION 169 “ The station- master sent me over on his bicycle, ” replied the visitor.
hvd.32044086882628	Well, what did you think of Mr. Christopher Pett? ”- “ Cool hand, I should say, ” answered Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	What about Cotherstone? ” “ I ’m talking about the inquest ” said Christopher.
hvd.32044086882628	What can I do in three weeks? ” “ There's not only you, sir, ” replied Harborough.
hvd.32044086882628	What could he do?
hvd.32044086882628	What did he do with himself in London?
hvd.32044086882628	What do you know, like? ” “ It looks as if it had been an accident, ” answered the superintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	What do you say to that, now? ” “ Naught! ” retorted Harborough, defiantly.
hvd.32044086882628	What do you think happened?
hvd.32044086882628	What does he know about your family?
hvd.32044086882628	What does it matter whose brass it is, so long as it's safe?
hvd.32044086882628	What had you been before you became housekeeper to Mr. Kitely? ” “ Housekeeper to another gentleman l ’ ’ replied Miss Pett, acidly.
hvd.32044086882628	What information?
hvd.32044086882628	What is it? ” he demanded, going to the telephone.
hvd.32044086882628	What motive could Harborough have had 94 THE BOROUGH TREASURER for killing Kitely?
hvd.32044086882628	What were you think- ing of, now? ” “ I got the top price, ” remarked Christopher re- flectively.
hvd.32044086882628	What would you suggest, Dave? ” Myler brought all his business acumen to bear on the problem presented to him.
hvd.32044086882628	What's he going to do? ” “ Wants to blackmail us, of course, ” replied Coth- erstone, with a mirthless laugh.
hvd.32044086882628	What's that — letters? ” “ There's all these letters to sign, Mr. Cotherstone, and these three contracts to go through, ” answered the clerk.
hvd.32044086882628	What? ” But Stoner knew at once that Myler disapproved.
hvd.32044086882628	What? ” Lettie's calm and judicial character came out in the first words she spoke.
hvd.32044086882628	When is all this mystery coming to an end, Brereton?
hvd.32044086882628	When was this, now? ” “ Within the hour, ” replied Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	When, they ’ve safely got one man, do you think they ’re going to look for another?
hvd.32044086882628	Where I was during the night is my business — nobody else ’s. ” “ You ’ll not tell? ” asked Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	Where were you that night, I should like to know?
hvd.32044086882628	Where? — when''Cotherstone got his lips still closer.
hvd.32044086882628	Who am I?
hvd.32044086882628	Who should want to kill an old chap like that?
hvd.32044086882628	Who struck that blow?
hvd.32044086882628	Who was David Myler?
hvd.32044086882628	Who was he, then?
hvd.32044086882628	Who's coming, like? ’ ’.
hvd.32044086882628	Why India? ” asked Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	Why am I wanted? ” Once more Brereton had to go through the story.
hvd.32044086882628	Why did he take'em out of the pocket- book and throw the pocket- book away?
hvd.32044086882628	Why, Mr. Cotherstone? ” Cotherstone, ready enough to answer and to speak until then, flushed angrily and shook his head.
hvd.32044086882628	Why?
hvd.32044086882628	Why?
hvd.32044086882628	Why?
hvd.32044086882628	Why?
hvd.32044086882628	You ca n’t think of what it is, now? ” “ I do n’t know what you're thinking about, ” re- plied Bent, half impatiently.
hvd.32044086882628	You have n’t any doubtful character in Highmarket who has ever lived in India, have you? ” “ India!
hvd.32044086882628	You knew him? ” “ I remember him very well indeed, ” assented Mr. Pursey.
hvd.32044086882628	You know old Kitely — your part- ner's tenant?
hvd.32044086882628	You never heard anything, Mr. Cother- Stone?
hvd.32044086882628	You think so?
hvd.32044086882628	You will, of course, recompense us, Mr. Mallalieu? ” “ I ’ve said all along that you ’d not lose by me, ” retorted Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	You wo n’t be able to help him that way — there's only one way you can help. ” “ What way? ” asked Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	You wo n’t come down, I suppose? ” he continued when they left the house togther.
hvd.32044086882628	Yourself? ” “ With these eyes!
hvd.32044086882628	be, now? ” Miss Pett threw up the gay turban with a toss of surprise.
hvd.32044086882628	— what did he know?—was he some detective who had been privately working up this case?
hvd.32044086882628	‘ ‘ Is there aught amiss? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ A good'un And if it ’s right, it ’ll clear matters up. ” “ What is it? ” asked Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Ah!—then you ’ll have been seeing a good deal of Kitely lately? ” “ Not so much, ” replied Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ All done in one action, d'ye see, Cotherstone? ” he was saying.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And he added significantly, that he was getting an old man. ” 20 THE BOROUGH TREASURER “ How old? ” demanded Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And how do you like Highmarket, now you ’ve had a spell of it? ” he inquired.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And how do you mean? ” Christopher pulled an easy chair to the fire and stretched his hands to the blaze.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And then — are you going away? ” “ Yes, but not for as long as we'd meant, ” said Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And there ’s her nephew with her, now — been here for a week?
hvd.32044086882628	“ And what brings you here, anyway?
hvd.32044086882628	“ And what might you have been doing with Mr. Brereton since he got down yesterday? ” asked Coth- erstone.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And whose money might that be? ” he asked, half- sneeringly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And — I suppose you want my father to help?
hvd.32044086882628	“ And — I suppose you ’ve no theory, no idea of your own about his murder? ’ ’ asked Brereton, who was watching the little man closely.
hvd.32044086882628	“ And — I suppose — you agreed to make use of it? ” Cotherstone smote the table again.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Any signs of his having been robbed? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Are n’t you well? ” demanded Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Are you suggesting, all of you that you think Miss Pett murdered Kitely? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ As you ’ll see 1 ” “ So that's the line you ’re taking? ” said Talling- ton quietly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ At some time? ” he mused.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Aught been done? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Aught you ’d like doing at the house, Mr. Kitely? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Aye?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Aye?—and why did one or t'other or both — have it which way you will — murder this here old gentle- man? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Both of you?
hvd.32044086882628	“ But I know who I think killed him l ’ ’ “ Who, then? ” demanded Tallington.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But as long as it ’s struck some- body, eh?
hvd.32044086882628	“ But it's like this, d'you see?—your father, now, does he happen to be at home? ” “ What is it you want? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But it's like this, d'you see?—your father, now, does he happen to be at home? ” “ What is it you want? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But suppose you try to re- duce it to practice?
hvd.32044086882628	“ But what are they? ” 100 THE BOROUGH TREASURER The superintendent motioned his visitor to sit by him and then opened the papers out on his desk.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But where are we to find him? ” he suddenly ex- claimed.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But you might just tell me this — has Mr. Kitely ever had any visitors since he came to Highmarket? ” “ Only one, ” answered Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But — but might n’t he ha ’ got that with strik- ing his head against them rocks as he fell? ” he sug- gested.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But — don’t you think that if all else fails the man who wrote this would come forward?
hvd.32044086882628	“ But — what did you think of him? ” “ Oh, I ’ve met Mr. Christopher Pett's sort before, ” said Brereton, drily.
hvd.32044086882628	“ But — who? ” Bent made no reply for a while.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Can your Worship step across the way? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Can't — can't you suggest any- thing? ” “ There's something I ’ll suggest at once, ” re- sponded Brereton impulsively.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Christopher Pett!—whatever are you talking about?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Come, now — have you got anything to suggest as to how you can be helped? ” Harborough smiled and gave his counsel a know- ing look.
hvd.32044086882628	“ D'ye think I could mistake him?
hvd.32044086882628	“ D'ye think I ’m a fool?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Damn it, d'ye think I have n’t noticed it?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Did he lose his temper, too? ” “ No l ’ ’ replied Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Do they think I ’m going to run away?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Do you know that this woman ’s leaving the town tomorrow? ” he said.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Do you know why Kitely was killed? ” she asked suddenly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Do you really think that any man who was in pos- Hession of his senses would do such a thing?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Do you want to know where? ” he asked, bend- ing close to Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	“ D’ye make aught out of it, doctor?
hvd.32044086882628	“ For why, pray?—and why here? ” “ Here's a convenient spot, ” said Stoner, with a nasty laugh.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Fresh stuff, eh? ” he went on.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Glad to see you, sir — always glad to see anybody with a bit of money, eh?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Glad you ’ve come — and I daresay you ’re wondering why you ’ve been sent for?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Going in for that line, eh? ” “ What practice I ’ve had has been in that line, ” answered Brereton, with a quiet laugh.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Got settled down, I suppose, now? ” “ It ’s all that I expected, ” replied Kitely.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Had anybody any motive?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Had n’t we better reckon up my costs and com- mission first? ” he suggested.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Has some- thing happened him?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Have you come down with him from London? ” “ No, sir — I am a clerk at Willerby& Hargreaves ’ in Norcaster, ” replied the messenger.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Have you formed any ideas or theories? ” Pett half- closed his eyes as he turned them on his questioner.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Have you let him know of Mr. Kitely's death? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Have you seen any reason for it? ” “ He had been robbed, after his death, ” answered Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ He ’s a solicitor, and he made it. ” “ What is your nephew ’s name and address? ” asked Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Highly respectable, both of ‘ em. ” “ And you come originally from — where in Sus- Sex? ’ ’ “ Oakbarrow Farm, near Horsham.
hvd.32044086882628	“ How could you tell? ” “ I ’ll tell you all about it, now we ’re outside, ” answered Garthwaite.
hvd.32044086882628	“ How do you know he's murdered? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ I Say!—that old gentleman you let the cottage to — Kitely, you know. ” “ What of him? ” demanded Cotherstone sharply.
hvd.32044086882628	“ I can look at you or at any other, in any PARENTAL ANXIETY 115 way I like, ca n't I?
hvd.32044086882628	“ I guess you ’ve heard about the dis- covery?
hvd.32044086882628	“ I have heard something that I thought you ought to hear, too — at once. ” “ Yes? ” responded Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	“ I know, if nobody else knows! ” “ Where, then? ” demanded Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	“ I should have to make it clear that I ’d naught to do with that particular matter, d'ye see?
hvd.32044086882628	“ I suppose you ’ve heard all about it? ” said Coth- erstone, after an awkward silence.
hvd.32044086882628	“ I — what's up? ” He had come to a sudden halt close to his partner, 18 THE BOROUGH TREASURER and he now stood staring at him.
hvd.32044086882628	“ If – if he's killed?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Is Major Stilman alive? ” “ No, he isn't — he's dead this ten years, ” answered Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Is he alone?—or is Miss Pett with him? ” “ The police- superintendent ’s with him, sir, ” an- swered the girl.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Is he to be trusted? ” he muttered.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Is it a sort of hurdle? ” “ That's it, sir, ” assented the policeman.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Is it this bit of good news? ” “ That — and the sense of doing something, ” she answered.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Is that you, father? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Kitely My tenant?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Like to come? ” asked Mallalieu, laconically.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Me? — why, I ’ve had — yes, five- and- twenty years of it! ” Kitely took another sip from his glass and set it down.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Murder?
hvd.32044086882628	“ No weapons, eh? ” For the life of him he could not resist asking that — his anxiety about the stick was overmastering him.
hvd.32044086882628	“ No- body ever knew him like this before What's he car- rying on in that fashion for? ” “ He ’s excited with getting off, ” said another.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Not for — ” he paused, nodding his head towards the front of the cottage where the wood lay “ — not for — that?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Now then — what about this plan of yours?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Now, how far is it to this old woman ’s cottage? ” “ Two miles, ” replied Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Oh, you ’re still here? ” he said as he entered.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Oh? ” observed Mallalieu, at last.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Private?
hvd.32044086882628	“ See anything that suggested a struggle?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Since — what? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882628	“ So you ’re interested in criminal matters, sir? ” observed Cotherstone as he offered Brereton a cigar.
hvd.32044086882628	“ So you ’ve heard, too, I suppose?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Some time ago, or lately? ” “ If you want to know, ” retorted Cotherstone, “ it was the very day after old Kitely was killed.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Something special, sir?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Stoner not come? ” he demanded curtly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Supposing we do square him?—is there any re- liance to be placed on him then?
hvd.32044086882628	“ That is, as far as you can see at a glance? ” “ Oh, I daresay it is, ” said Cotherstone, airily.
hvd.32044086882628	“ That it? ” “ No, ” said Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	“ The poor man that was murdered?
hvd.32044086882628	“ There ’s no doubt about it? ” “ Doubt l ’ ’ exclaimed Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ These cords are of considerable length, are n't they? ” “ Good length, sir — there's a regular coil, like, ” said the man.
hvd.32044086882628	“ They said — could they see you and Mr. Brereton for half an hour, on business? ” “ Bring them both in, then, ” said Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Think I ’m a mean'un, what? ’ ” “ I express no opinion, Mr. Mallalieu, ” replied Miss Pett, frigidly and patiently.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Was n’t he a tenant of yours? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Well? ” demanded Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Well? ” he asked, when they were outside.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Well? ” said Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Well? ” “ Well? ” responded Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Well? ” “ Well? ” responded Mallalieu.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What about it? ” he growled.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What about it? ” “ He ’s met with a bad accident, ” replied the su- perintendent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What are we to start on? ” “ Find out about Kitely himself! ” exclaimed Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What are you doing?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What did I tell you? ” she said.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What do you mean? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What do you mean? ” “ My father offended him — not so very long ago, either, ” she answered.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What do you think about it? ” Brereton walked on a little way without replying.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What does it look like?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What else could it be? ” “ There are so many strange things to tell about, just now, ” she remarked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What else should he do?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What find? ” “ Some of our people made a search there as soon as the police- court proceedings were over, ” replied the detective.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What is it? ” Cotherstone made no answer.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What is it? ” The old woman turned to a box which stood in a recess in the ingle- nook at her elbow and took from it a folded newspaper.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What is it? ” The superinterfdent sighed and shook his head.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What is there against me?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What is there to be got out of him if he's flying from justice?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What on 104 THE BOROUGH TREASURER earth does he want me for?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What reason had you for warning him? ” Miss Pett turned and looked scrutinizingly at her last questioner.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What sort of chap is this Tallington? ” he asked at last, pointing to the name at the foot of the reward handbill.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What then? ” “ Harborough was at the counter when Kitely took his money, ” answered the bank- manager.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What ’re you showing me that bit o ’ paper for?
hvd.32044086882628	“ What's Popsie say? ” she repeated.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What's that doing here? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What's to be done? ’ I asked at last.
hvd.32044086882628	“ What, man?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Where's this we ’re going now? ” asked Brereton as he and Bent followed their leaders through the trees and down the slopes of the Shawl.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Which way did you come, this time? ” she in- quired.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Who are you? ” Kitely shook his head and smiled quietly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Who is he? ” “ I do n’t think that puzzles me, ” remarked Avice.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Who is that? ” His daughter's voice, surprised and admonitory, came to him along the wire.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Who knows anything about him?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Who ’s throwing brass round in that free- handed fashion?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Whose brass can it be, Popsie? ” The barmaid stood up, seized a glass and a cloth, and began to polish the glass with vigor.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Why, Mr. Sharp- nose? ” “ I ’ll tell you — and then you ’ll know what I know, ” answered Stoner.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Why?
hvd.32044086882628	“ Will it be worth it? ” he asked doubtfully.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Will it come to aught? ” “ Bent wants to trace his family history back to the Conquest, ” observed Brereton, slyly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Word good? ” asked Myler.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Would they? ” he said with a knowing wink.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Yes, you may say that, sir. ” CHRISTOPHER PETT 109 “ Not likely to let things out, I suppose? ” con- tinued Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Yes? ” she said.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You did n’t know I was raking up everything I could get hold of about my forbears, did you?
hvd.32044086882628	“ You do n’t mean to say that you really believe this fellow to be innocent, Mr. Brereton? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You do n’t say So? ” “ It ’s a fact, ” said Bent.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You feel certain?
hvd.32044086882628	“ You feel sure that it is all right now about my father? ” she said.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You have n’t been to him? ” “ Seen him this afternoon, ” replied Cotherstone.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You know what you said about that electric torch notion this afternoon, sir? ” he whispered.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You know what you're talking about? ” “ I never talk idle stuff, ” retorted Miss Pett.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You might consider about getting — what do they call it?
hvd.32044086882628	“ You saw Mallalieu fell Stoner?
hvd.32044086882628	“ You say Harborough saw Kitely take his money? ” “ Could n't fail, ” replied the bank- manager.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You say it ’s a butcher's cord? ” The man who had just whispered to Cotherstone nodded.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You want a word — or two — with — me? ” he ex- claimed.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You were Mal- lalieu’s — or Mallows’—catspaw?
hvd.32044086882628	“ You ’ll come? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You ’ll want to know what I could tell before a judge, like? ” “ Of course, ” replied Brereton.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You ’re a lawyer, are n’t you? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You ’re convinced of — all this? ” he demanded suddenly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ You ’re the Chidforth mentioned there? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.32044086882628	“ Your folks aught to do with this? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882628	“ is — have you made some discovery?
hvd.32044086882628	“: Have you made aught out of it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1j8r	Do n't do that again, what? ” said Bernard cas- ually as he caught him up. hvd.hn1j8r English? ” “ The original Otto Heinz was my grand- uncle's valet and decamped with a paper- or so they say — which was worth £ 40,000 to us."
hvd.hn1j8r	Ethel, do you know you were sitting like that last time the Rector called? ”Like what?
hvd.hn1j8r	Ethel, do you know you were sitting like that last time the Rector called? ”Like what?
hvd.hn1j8r	Ethel, you know the Mereworths, do n't you?
hvd.hn1j8r	For me?
hvd.hn1j8r	He could not have got out here? ” “ There is no other way but the door I have just unlocked. ” “ What does it open on?
hvd.hn1j8r	He could not have got out here? ” “ There is no other way but the door I have just unlocked. ” “ What does it open on?
hvd.hn1j8r	He- my cousin — was in the Army? ” Strickland stared at him. hvd.hn1j8r I have the honour of speaking to Miss Violet Mereworth? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1j8r	I hope that that's the case? ”'104 THE PURPLE PEARLI never give the chaps any encouragement, mi- lord."
hvd.hn1j8r	I might, might n't I? ” said Miles with feeling. hvd.hn1j8r I warned you, did I not, that it would be the worse for you if I caught you again? ”"Oh, you did recognize us, did you? ” said Mar- tin.
hvd.hn1j8r	I warned you, did I not, that it would be the worse for you if I caught you again? ”Oh, you did recognize us, did you? ” said Mar- tin.
hvd.hn1j8r	If I gave it you, what guarantee have I that you would not simply murder him in prison?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is it likely that we should let him get off? hvd.hn1j8r Is she?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is there still no telegram for me?
hvd.hn1j8r	It's better, is n't it, milord, than the men get in the trenches? ” She wished next minute that she had held her tongue. hvd.hn1j8r Oh, ah yes, you're a mountaineer, are n't you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Oh, did n't I tell you? hvd.hn1j8r Oh, indeed? ” Lord Mereworth eyed her rather sharply.
hvd.hn1j8r	Perhaps, as you've bought him, you'd like to make a stew of him? ” he suggested. hvd.hn1j8r They do not teach discipline in your army, Cap- tain Mereworth, do they?
hvd.hn1j8r	Wait for Martin'? hvd.hn1j8r Weather?
hvd.hn1j8r	Well, how else can I reach? ” “ In Birmingham we mostly shift the bed, ” said Bernard. hvd.hn1j8r What is the third word, Lord Martin?
hvd.hn1j8r	What on earth are you doing? ” Martin asked in bewilderment. hvd.hn1j8r You little thing, do you think I was afraid? ” Then he released her and walked out into the garden.
hvd.hn1j8r	You're rather a little bit of a thing, are n't you?'' hvd.hn1j8r Your housemaid? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	( How much can you pay?
hvd.hn1j8r	( Now I wonder what you have up your sleeve?
hvd.hn1j8r	( When?
hvd.hn1j8r	( Where will you wait?
hvd.hn1j8r	) ” “ Any fruit then?
hvd.hn1j8r	) ” “ How much are they?
hvd.hn1j8r	) ”"Have you any broccoli?
hvd.hn1j8r	, Oh, it is n't time already, is it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	... Was he noble? ” “ I do n't know exactly what constitutes nobility in Germany."
hvd.hn1j8r	172 THE PURPLE PEARL “ Wo n't you really?
hvd.hn1j8r	A glass slipper? ” Winnie had a clear notion that she was being laughed at, but only the dimmest that she was being made love to.
hvd.hn1j8r	After a moment he added, “ Then I may- may I? ” Violet was wearing a posy of her name- flowers tucked into her dress.
hvd.hn1j8r	After all, you're not bad- looking, are you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Always best to be on the safe side, what? ” He smiled cheerfully into Martin's faintly aston- ished eyes.
hvd.hn1j8r	Am I quite alone in my glory?
hvd.hn1j8r	And I dare say he gave you his word, did n't he, and you laid your heads together over it?
hvd.hn1j8r	And THE PURPLE PEARL 173 you say the poor chap disappeared just after, by your calculations, your letter must have got to Bollendorf?
hvd.hn1j8r	And do n't you smoke, either?''
hvd.hn1j8r	And do you know I have n't a penny beyond what she allows me?
hvd.hn1j8r	And hi, wait a moment — if you should pass a looking glass, ” “ Yes, milord???
hvd.hn1j8r	And hi, wait a moment — if you should pass a looking glass, ” “ Yes, milord???
hvd.hn1j8r	And hi, wait a moment — if you should pass a looking glass, ” “ Yes, milord???
hvd.hn1j8r	And is this the hospital? ” “ Yes, but there is no one in it. ” “ Can I have a look round?
hvd.hn1j8r	And is this the hospital? ” “ Yes, but there is no one in it. ” “ Can I have a look round?
hvd.hn1j8r	And now what about supper — think you can manage to scare me up something?
hvd.hn1j8r	And so you've lived here always and THE PURPLE PEARL 129 known Miss Winnie Mereworth all your life?
hvd.hn1j8r	And was this to be all?
hvd.hn1j8r	And what about Bernard Mereworth?
hvd.hn1j8r	And why, why did he object to my coming, too?
hvd.hn1j8r	And you say you're sure you put your word in the letter?"
hvd.hn1j8r	And you wished you could tell him yours?
hvd.hn1j8r	And you're going to marry him, are n't you?
hvd.hn1j8r	And, after all, what could Schramm stand to win by humbugging us?
hvd.hn1j8r	Are you all going?
hvd.hn1j8r	Are you fagged? ”"A little.
hvd.hn1j8r	As for the window- am I a rat to get out a window like that?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Bathrooms and things, I suppose? ” he asked, trying one.
hvd.hn1j8r	Besides, after all, what does it mat- ter?
hvd.hn1j8r	But Bernard does. ” “ And do you want to marry him? ” “ Oh, I do n't know, I do n't know — but I expect I shall have to!"
hvd.hn1j8r	But I stick on-at least, I have so far. ”"Why did you never learn to ride when you were a boy? ” “ Because I liked cars better.
hvd.hn1j8r	But how could I escape?
hvd.hn1j8r	But how long will she continue to weep?
hvd.hn1j8r	But naturally, an English officer would not stay to be beaten —"“ To be what? ” cried out Bernard.
hvd.hn1j8r	But perhaps you are n't interested in the family history? ” “ Oh! ” Light dawned on Martin.
hvd.hn1j8r	But stand up, Herr Cap- tain. ” “ Why, old fellow? ” “ Ei!
hvd.hn1j8r	But there was a chap who escaped with him, was n't there?
hvd.hn1j8r	But trees and sky, who cares for them?"
hvd.hn1j8r	But what did pain or weakness signify now?
hvd.hn1j8r	But what else can we do?
hvd.hn1j8r	But why do n't you like the fair Bernard?
hvd.hn1j8r	But why in such a hurry? ”"I should have thought it was obvious even to Birmingham.
hvd.hn1j8r	Ca n't you soften her without? ” “ I'll ask her, Lord Mereworth"“ Is it Birmingham that forbids you to call me Bernard?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Ca n't you soften her without? ” “ I'll ask her, Lord Mereworth"“ Is it Birmingham that forbids you to call me Bernard?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Can I run you down in the car?
hvd.hn1j8r	Certainly not unless you can. ” “ Who is coming? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1j8r	Come and sit down somewhere out of this crush, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Could he have swum it? ” “ Swum it, when the cliff is three hundred feet high like the wall of a house?
hvd.hn1j8r	Could he have swum it? ” “ Swum it, when the cliff is three hundred feet high like the wall of a house?
hvd.hn1j8r	Did he tell you you lied?
hvd.hn1j8r	Did n't you say you had brought a passport for me?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Did she believe that Mar- tin was alive?
hvd.hn1j8r	Did you buy it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Did you imagine I was going to chuck all that?
hvd.hn1j8r	Did you know Miss Violet, too???
hvd.hn1j8r	Did you know Miss Violet, too???
hvd.hn1j8r	Did you know Miss Violet, too???
hvd.hn1j8r	Do n't you see, Otto would have two of the words now, just as we have, only not the same two, and he would know that Martin had the third?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Do n't you see, if I had got Grandfather's word and you had got Martin's word, we could have put the two to- gether and very likely found the Pear]?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you know, Winnie, I've been wondering — ” “ What?!
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you love me?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you mind? ” His chance at last!
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you object to followers, mi- lord? ”"Followers? ” Bernard repeated.
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you object to followers, mi- lord? ”"Followers? ” Bernard repeated.
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you realize that we're on Gov- ernment work — turning out shells and aeroplanes?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you think I am a rich man, Violet? ” “ I do n't know that I ever thought about it. ” “ Oh, did n't you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you think I am a rich man, Violet? ” “ I do n't know that I ever thought about it. ” “ Oh, did n't you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you think I'm going to be disobeyed because I'm on my deathbed?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you un- derstand that, Lord Martin?
hvd.hn1j8r	Do you want to get a subscription out of her? ”"No, I want to make her like me.
hvd.hn1j8r	Does sound a bit steep, does n't it?
hvd.hn1j8r	Exactly how much money shall we have?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Gamekeeper's cottage, is it?
hvd.hn1j8r	Get out of the town again, said Common Sense; but how to face another night in the open?
hvd.hn1j8r	Had she laboured all the morning over the kitchen stove in vain?
hvd.hn1j8r	Had she seen that he loved her?
hvd.hn1j8r	Has she been giving trouble about the Castle?
hvd.hn1j8r	Have you any ideas? ” “ Millions.
hvd.hn1j8r	Have you been hunt- ing in the East Room? ” “ No, of course not, I've been darning my stock- ings and practising my scales.
hvd.hn1j8r	Have you met him? ” He actually shook Violet in his rage.
hvd.hn1j8r	He had told her in confidence; what would he say if she gave him away?
hvd.hn1j8r	He has beaten you, too, then?
hvd.hn1j8r	He is dead. ” “ Colonel who?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Heinz been hurting your little feelings?
hvd.hn1j8r	Heinz has his quarters half way up the hill. ” “ Did Schramm tell you that? ”'“ No, I heard it in the camp.
hvd.hn1j8r	Heinz never comes after midday. ” “ But why do n't you want to be locked up?''
hvd.hn1j8r	Heinz?
hvd.hn1j8r	Hen- derson?
hvd.hn1j8r	Here, hi, what's your name? ” Mrs. Lindsay frigidly turned, uncon- scious of the fact that her cap had fallen off.
hvd.hn1j8r	Herr Captain, why did you go?
hvd.hn1j8r	How about a gold ring? ” “ Where are you going to? ” Winnie's breath came fast.
hvd.hn1j8r	How about a gold ring? ” “ Where are you going to? ” Winnie's breath came fast.
hvd.hn1j8r	How are you going to manage it?
hvd.hn1j8r	How could he argue with a man who could retaliate by putting Violet's letter in the fire?
hvd.hn1j8r	How d'ye do?
hvd.hn1j8r	How much? ”"It is not for you, it is for the Herr Captain who has been in prison. ” Schramm turned a deaf ear to Miles's blandishments.
hvd.hn1j8r	How should I know?
hvd.hn1j8r	I do n't much like the look of things, do you?''
hvd.hn1j8r	I forget if you've seen him since he grew up?
hvd.hn1j8r	I prom- ise I wo n't tell Cousin Martin! ”"You? ” said Lord Mereworth.
hvd.hn1j8r	I say, can I have some water? ” “ Are you thirsty?!!
hvd.hn1j8r	I say, can I have some water? ” “ Are you thirsty?!!
hvd.hn1j8r	I should have done as well as Wil- liam, eh? ” “ Better, ” said Winnie with a small smile.
hvd.hn1j8r	I suppose I'm officially dead, is that it? ” “ Exactly."
hvd.hn1j8r	I will call the men if you try to take it.- What is it you wish to know? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	I will let you off on one condition. ” “ What is that?"
hvd.hn1j8r	I wish I knew what's wrong there. ” “ Why? ” Winnie's tone was suspicious.
hvd.hn1j8r	If I had my way I'd shoot every prisoner we catch_ ” “ What is it about Martin?"
hvd.hn1j8r	If you'll get a piece of paper and write down Martin's part, What?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is it possible?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is it the old story, or is it something peculiar to my- self?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is n't he a sport?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is n't it a shame?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is that Violet in the car? ”!
hvd.hn1j8r	Is that it?
hvd.hn1j8r	Is that so with you? ” Violet flushed and looked down.
hvd.hn1j8r	Is that where his own shoe pinches? ” “ Yes, and pretty tightly, too.
hvd.hn1j8r	Is there any chance of getting a charlady to do for me for the night? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hn1j8r	Is there any way of get- ting round her? ” Miss Fleet rubbed her nose.
hvd.hn1j8r	Is your name Schramm?
hvd.hn1j8r	It is a day like another day. ”"Is it sunny? ” Schramm eyed Martin with a perplexed, dimly benevolent expression.
hvd.hn1j8r	It might have been taken from him at Bollendorf. ” “ These also? ” Mr. Henderson shook out on the table Martin's withered violets.
hvd.hn1j8r	It was inadequate, but what could be ade- quate?
hvd.hn1j8r	It was signed “ Dell. ” “ Who on earth is Dell? ” “ My housemaid."
hvd.hn1j8r	It's all right till you're caught. ” “ Is it indispensable to be caught?
hvd.hn1j8r	It's picturesque. ”"But how on earth did he manage to keep it dark?
hvd.hn1j8r	Just put them in the hall, will you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Let's see, what was I saying?
hvd.hn1j8r	Lindsay?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Look! ” She wrote them down in her best copperplate:"om BED IN e. ” “ Now do you see?
hvd.hn1j8r	Miss Mereworth could not have told you the third word because she does not know it. ” “ Does she not?
hvd.hn1j8r	My word against yours?
hvd.hn1j8r	Na, you think only of yourself — ” “ You dog, is this how you obey my orders? ” The door flew open.
hvd.hn1j8r	No, dear old Ethel, it was n't your fault; how could you possibly know?
hvd.hn1j8r	No, not romantic, is it?
hvd.hn1j8r	Nonsense, my dear, you can call him a Mereworth if you like, but who was his mother?
hvd.hn1j8r	Not the best type of man to command a prison camp?
hvd.hn1j8r	Nothing suspicious here; and yet Bernard felt, like children in the nursery game, that he was getting warm. ” “ What's behind these doors?
hvd.hn1j8r	Now in my villa at Birmingham- Have you far to go, Miss Mereworth?
hvd.hn1j8r	Now will you tell me the third word? ” “ I'll see you damned first!"
hvd.hn1j8r	Oh, Mar- tin, why ca n't she like you instead of him?
hvd.hn1j8r	Oh, Martin, why am I such a little duffer?
hvd.hn1j8r	Oh, Violet, is that a letter from Lady Grace?
hvd.hn1j8r	Oh, my God, why did n't I marry you before I went out?
hvd.hn1j8r	One scarcely dares open an envelope"“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Only you strike me as — as not quite used to the duties of your position, what?
hvd.hn1j8r	Only you wo n't let them marry you to any one else, will you, so long as I'm alive?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Playing for time, was he?
hvd.hn1j8r	Promise?
hvd.hn1j8r	Quaint, is n't it?
hvd.hn1j8r	Right before them loomed up — was it house or haystack?
hvd.hn1j8r	Schramm knows England, do n't you, Schramm?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Shall we be undisturbed?''
hvd.hn1j8r	She flings him at my head morning, noon, and night! ” “ Do you mean she wants you to marry him?''
hvd.hn1j8r	She was sorry for him-yes, she was sorry; but what could she say?
hvd.hn1j8r	She's not by any chance engaged, is she?
hvd.hn1j8r	Simplest way of settling it, what? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	So be civil to her, understand?"
hvd.hn1j8r	So that's what's been at the bottom of it all?
hvd.hn1j8r	So you liked Sydenham, did you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Some gen- tlemen find a smaller apartment more to their taste. ” “ No, do they? ” Mrs. Lindsay fidgeted under Bernard's genial smile.
hvd.hn1j8r	Some one said, “ Where's Cordeaux? ” Cordeaux was Mar- tin's"chum,"and it was felt that Martin had better be left to him.
hvd.hn1j8r	Suppose he slipped it inside his book or something like that?
hvd.hn1j8r	Suppose they told Violet that her lover was dead?
hvd.hn1j8r	Surely no sentry, unless he were drunk, could fail to see them?
hvd.hn1j8r	THE PURPLE PEARL 115 “ Wo ist mein Freund, you sweep?
hvd.hn1j8r	THE PURPLE PEARL 137 “ Do you wish me to cook for you, milord? ” “ Not unless you can.
hvd.hn1j8r	THE PURPLE PEARL 169 mate grandchild?
hvd.hn1j8r	THE PURPLE PEARL 191 “ Er — Colonel Heinz, I believe? ” Heinz wheeled round.
hvd.hn1j8r	THE PURPLE PEARL 73"Looks as if we were done, does n't it? ” said Martin quietly.
hvd.hn1j8r	That do you? ” Winifred Dell was not to know that that slight hesitation covered a jump from twenty pounds to twenty- four.
hvd.hn1j8r	That is curious — if you are not lying. ”"What have you come to say?"
hvd.hn1j8r	That is simple, is it not?"
hvd.hn1j8r	That is why your Army runs away so often, is it not?
hvd.hn1j8r	That was one of the chaps that did n't need encouragement, what?"
hvd.hn1j8r	That would come to the same thing, would n't it?
hvd.hn1j8r	That would have got him. ”"Oh?
hvd.hn1j8r	That's flat. ” CHAPTER XI THAT had happened meanwhile at Bollen- dorf?
hvd.hn1j8r	That's why he's always been so civil to me. ”"You won it yourself?
hvd.hn1j8r	The Rector was easy to win; Miss Fleet was a tougher job, but he had always felt that if they got on at all they would get on very well; and Violet?
hvd.hn1j8r	Then the footman bowed them out and three days later the old fellow died. ” “ And did they quarrel? ” Martin laughed.
hvd.hn1j8r	They do n't like me to earn my living?
hvd.hn1j8r	They say he was swept down the stream, but how can they tell he did n't get ashore, perhaps miles and miles away?
hvd.hn1j8r	This, too, was almost equally dark, but what was that gleam of wild blue, unearthly radi- ance at the far end?
hvd.hn1j8r	To that thought Violet always came back — what did anything matter if Martin was dead?
hvd.hn1j8r	Violet watched him wistfully; was he really sorry for her and did he really care?
hvd.hn1j8r	Violet, for her own part, would have told him at once; what did they matter, these old tales of a mythical treasure and a mythical keyword?
hvd.hn1j8r	Violet, have you ever considered what you will do after I am dead? ” “ No, grandfather, only ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	Was haben Sie getan mit meinem Freund? ” “ Take him away, ” said the Saxon officer, yawn- ing.
hvd.hn1j8r	Was he to go back to France without even saying good- bye?
hvd.hn1j8r	Was he? ” said Bernard, suddenly en- lightened.
hvd.hn1j8r	Was it that young good- for- nothing?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Was n't it the fount and origin of the family feud?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Was that all?
hvd.hn1j8r	Was that the way the cat jumped?
hvd.hn1j8r	We are leav- ing, Miss, by the middle day train. ” “ Leaving?
hvd.hn1j8r	We have only the two words, and we could n't make any sense out of them. ” “ Oh, Violet, but I did! ” “ You did — what?"
hvd.hn1j8r	We humbly beg the Herr Commandant's pardon, ” “ Your names? ” “ Adolf Bauer and Johann Bolz, of Echternach."
hvd.hn1j8r	Well then, what is the sense of playing the goat with a sweep like Heinz? ”"Miles, were you in earnest in what you said about escaping??
hvd.hn1j8r	Well then, what is the sense of playing the goat with a sweep like Heinz? ”"Miles, were you in earnest in what you said about escaping??
hvd.hn1j8r	Well then, what is the sense of playing the goat with a sweep like Heinz? ”"Miles, were you in earnest in what you said about escaping??
hvd.hn1j8r	Well, then- Ber- nard, did you ever hear of the Purple Pearl? ”"Did I ever hear of the Purple Pearl?
hvd.hn1j8r	Well, then- Ber- nard, did you ever hear of the Purple Pearl? ”"Did I ever hear of the Purple Pearl?
hvd.hn1j8r	Well, what else have you got?
hvd.hn1j8r	Were you in the dark?''
hvd.hn1j8r	What business can you have with me?
hvd.hn1j8r	What did he have you up for? ” “ He wanted to know who my great- grandfather was."
hvd.hn1j8r	What did he tell you his word for if he did n't want THE PURPLE PEARL 43 you to use it?
hvd.hn1j8r	What did you do to Lascelles?
hvd.hn1j8r	What did you do to Mereworth him- self, if you come to that?''
hvd.hn1j8r	What did you do to Smith?
hvd.hn1j8r	What hard lines, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	What have Y you got to- day — more cabbages like the one I had yesterday?
hvd.hn1j8r	What have you got for us to- day?"
hvd.hn1j8r	What is the good of the treasure to you?
hvd.hn1j8r	What made you give the fel- low three dances?
hvd.hn1j8r	What makes you think she is Lord Mereworth's granddaughter? ” “ She said her parents lived on an allowance from him.
hvd.hn1j8r	What on earth are you doing under my bed? ” “ I'm sweeping, of course!"
hvd.hn1j8r	What on earth did this visit mean?
hvd.hn1j8r	What on earth was he to do?
hvd.hn1j8r	What on earth was the good of getting angry with Schramm?
hvd.hn1j8r	What sort of weather is it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	What the dickens —?!!
hvd.hn1j8r	What was his first name? ” “ Julian."
hvd.hn1j8r	What was that cheerful glow?
hvd.hn1j8r	What was the man up to?
hvd.hn1j8r	What were you thinking of having for dinner? ”"Either soup or fish, meat, pudding, and dessert.
hvd.hn1j8r	What would happen if THE PURPLE PEARL 23 Mrs. Adeane put the screw on?
hvd.hn1j8r	What's his Christian name? ” “ Otto."
hvd.hn1j8r	What's that? ” he said sharply.
hvd.hn1j8r	What's the cause of the prejudice against me down here?
hvd.hn1j8r	What, all of you?
hvd.hn1j8r	When does she say we shall have to turn out?''
hvd.hn1j8r	When was this? ” “ Oh, right at the start; he was one of the Fifth of August men.
hvd.hn1j8r	Where's your hat?
hvd.hn1j8r	Which Mereworths do you mean, child — the Birmingham lot or Lady Grace?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Who by? ” “ Er- his Christian name was George. ” Winnie looked up in a flash.
hvd.hn1j8r	Who is the brute?
hvd.hn1j8r	Who told you about the Pearl? ” “ Grandfather, do lie down —"“ Was it Martin Mereworth?
hvd.hn1j8r	Who told you about the Pearl? ” “ Grandfather, do lie down —"“ Was it Martin Mereworth?
hvd.hn1j8r	Who would have believed it?
hvd.hn1j8r	Who”—he stooped to strike a match on the sole of his brown boot—"who was your father? ” This was unexpected.
hvd.hn1j8r	Why did he pick you out of all the camp?
hvd.hn1j8r	Why not?
hvd.hn1j8r	Why on earth did n't Schramm warn us — does he think we want to fall into Otto's arms?
hvd.hn1j8r	Why should they all quarrel so? ” “ It's the old trouble.
hvd.hn1j8r	Why?
hvd.hn1j8r	Will that do? ”"Do you propose to cook all that yourself?''
hvd.hn1j8r	Will that do? ”"Do you propose to cook all that yourself?''
hvd.hn1j8r	Will you leave it, Winnie, on your way to Ethel's?
hvd.hn1j8r	Will you?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Winnie looked at him for a moment—"It's Bir- mingham. ” “ Birmingham, eh? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1j8r	Winnie, do n't you think it looks now almost as if it might be over by the spring?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Wo n't she be very cross? ” Violet spoke in all good faith; she thought very humbly of herself; yet she had more excuse for vanity than most women.
hvd.hn1j8r	Wo n't to- mor- row do? ”"No, it wo n't. ” Winnie buttoned the coat under Violet's chin and pulled up the collar.
hvd.hn1j8r	Wo n't you come in? ” she asked, to make amends for her involuntary snobbishness.
hvd.hn1j8r	Would n't you — wouldn't Beauty like to say good- bye to her beast before he goes? ” His voice was seductively soft, his handsome head was bent.
hvd.hn1j8r	Would you believe it, last time he came to see you he grumbled at me because he said I had been in here talking to you?
hvd.hn1j8r	Would you care for me to show you a few of the rooms? ” “ You think he is n't dead, is that it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Would you care for me to show you a few of the rooms? ” “ You think he is n't dead, is that it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Would you like to chuck it even now?"
hvd.hn1j8r	Yes, I'm off to find Martin: when Beauty commands, what can the Beast do but obey?
hvd.hn1j8r	You are quite sure you hit the Eng- länder?"
hvd.hn1j8r	You do n't mean to say it's the same night?"
hvd.hn1j8r	You do n't think I ought n't to have sent it, do you? ” “ Bless your small heart, no.
hvd.hn1j8r	You had their let- ter?"
hvd.hn1j8r	You have just as much reason for hope as you ever had. ”"Only you do n't think I ever did have much? ” Violet's smile was wistful.
hvd.hn1j8r	You have the rope?
hvd.hn1j8r	You remember her? ”"I remember her, ” said Violet softly.
hvd.hn1j8r	You will give me the third. ” “ And, when you have it, what then?
hvd.hn1j8r	You will not hit me?"
hvd.hn1j8r	You wo n't object to my questioning this old chap, Colonel Heinz, if I can get hold of him?
hvd.hn1j8r	You're friends, eh?
hvd.hn1j8r	You? ” she cried.
hvd.hn1j8r	but you see I'm not the late Lord Mere- worth, so that settles that, what?
hvd.hn1j8r	did he did Herr Cordeaux get off? ” “ Certainly not! ” Schramm's tone was quite in- dignant.
hvd.hn1j8r	did n't you actually tell him what the second word was? ” Violet put her hand to her head.
hvd.hn1j8r	do men never understand?
hvd.hn1j8r	how did he find out?
hvd.hn1j8r	is n't that a car in the drive? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1j8r	pose it were to bring some fresh disaster on her, or Winnie- or Martin?
hvd.hn1j8r	thing to her before you go?
hvd.hn1j8r	thing! ” Had she not?
hvd.hn1j8r	tin Mereworth?
hvd.hn1j8r	what did she say?"
hvd.hn1j8r	where have you been? ” “ Bernard's housemaid... Castle..."said Winnie in a muffled voice.
hvd.hn1j8r	you have n't had anything to do with this, have you? ” Winnie wriggled.
hvd.hn1j8r	you want to see the sunset, do n't you? ” Martin gave a stifled cry.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ A valet?'
hvd.hn1j8r	“ A word from me?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ After all, what does it matter now and why should I care what does anything matter? ”!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ And my cousin Violet- Miss Mere- worth — is extremely pretty. ” He admired her, did he?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ And now, Lord Martin,"the harsh voice took up its pitiless inquisition, “ what is the third word? ” “ Are you asleep, Herr Captain? ”"No."
hvd.hn1j8r	“ And now, Lord Martin,"the harsh voice took up its pitiless inquisition, “ what is the third word? ” “ Are you asleep, Herr Captain? ”"No."
hvd.hn1j8r	“ And this —? ” “ Mereworth: Captain: Grenadier Guards."
hvd.hn1j8r	“ And you're equally sure that you did n't mention Martin's part? ” “ Quite, quite sure.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Are you Schramm's cousin?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Are you en- gaged to be married? ” Winifred Dell cast down her eyes with a becom- ing simper and fingered the corner of her apron.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Are you staying in town?-Bring me two cock.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Are you sure? ” she said in a shaken voice.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Are you taking my photograph, Otto?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ As I am here, may I have a look round?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Bernard, how did I get on without you all these years?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Bit futile all this, is n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ But of course — why not?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ But why did Heinz let us pass if he knew us, as I'd have sworn he did?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ But why did n't they catch the valet?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Ca n't you see I'm under the bed?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Can I see the Herr Commandant? ”"You have an order, sir?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Can I see the Herr Commandant? ”"You have an order, sir?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Can you run? ” “ Yes, I can, quite as well as you, miss!"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Chucked me about like a cricket ball, did n't she?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Colonel Otto Heinz. ” “ Colonel Otto Heinz? ” “ Why not? ” “ Then.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Colonel Otto Heinz. ” “ Colonel Otto Heinz? ” “ Why not? ” “ Then.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Did William want to marry you, too?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Did n't you know? ”'“ Never heard a word of it, sir.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Did you ever hear of a more ex- asperating position?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Did you say you have tried it before?'
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Did you sell us to the Commandant, Heinz? ” “ Na — if you talk like that I put the gag in again. ” “ Please do n't.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Do you forget that this time next week I shall be your hired menial? ” There was only one letter, and Violet knew the writing.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Do you mind moving? ” said Bernard.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Do you think it's true? ” asked Violet, looking up at her.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Do you wish you were in Violet's shoes, enjoying the dissipa- tions of the gay city of Paree?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Does anybody know any of the words now?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Does he_no, he can't!—know who you are? ” And then Winnie poured out her story.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Ethel, do you know who this is?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ For the Herr Commandant to find when he comes?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Have you finished, milord???
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Have you finished, milord???
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Have you finished, milord???
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Have you met him, I say?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Have you? ” Martin was unable to seem deeply interested.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ He'll have a quite satisfactory eye of it, ” he re- marked, and then, turning to Winnie, “ I was in time, was n't I? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ He's so big, ” Winnie explained, “ and so hand- some do n't you think he's very handsome?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Heinz?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Herr Cordeaux?!!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How about to- morrow, then? ” “ To- morrow by all means."
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How can he see me when he's gone to Ger- many? ” “ Gone to Germany? ” Violet turned as white as her handkerchief.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How can he see me when he's gone to Ger- many? ” “ Gone to Germany? ” Violet turned as white as her handkerchief.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How did you hear that? ” “ I saw it in the Times.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How long for?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How long have you been in the Army? ” “ Nine years."
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How old are you? ” THE PURPLE PEARL 51 “ I am twenty- seven. ” “ Who was your father?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How old are you? ” THE PURPLE PEARL 51 “ I am twenty- seven. ” “ Who was your father?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How should I know, mein Herr? ”"If you play us any trick, ” said Miles fiercely, “ I'll wring your infernal neck for you!"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ How's that?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I do n't think I ought to tell you, grandfather, ” she said deprecatingly, “ but could n't you tell me?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I only told them that Ber- nard was a mean old thing and they would n't get enough to eat. ” “ Oh, Winnie, how could you? ”"I hate Bernard.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I say, Martin, I'm no end sorry, but would you be up to travelling to- night? ” “ Surely; but why? ” “ Because I must be off instanter.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I say, Martin, I'm no end sorry, but would you be up to travelling to- night? ” “ Surely; but why? ” “ Because I must be off instanter.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I say, Martin. ” “ Well? ” “ What about crossing somewhere else instead of where Schramm said?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I say, Martin. ” “ Well? ” “ What about crossing somewhere else instead of where Schramm said?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I thought you were n't on speaking terms? ” “ Grandfather would n't have him in the house.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I wonder — after all, we're kith and kin — I won- der whether you'd mind answering a question? ” “ What question?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I wonder — after all, we're kith and kin — I won- der whether you'd mind answering a question? ” “ What question?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ I?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ If you're going to talk to me, grandfather, wo n't you let me give you your medicine first?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Is it usual to crawl underneath in order to do that?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ It sounds like purple moonshine, does n't it?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Kind, was he?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Martin, do n't you know me?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Martin, is your knee hurting? ” asked Violet tim- idly.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Martin, you do n't mean it?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Martin. ” “ Well?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ My stepmother?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ My uniform, Otto?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ No, did he? ” said Bernard, smiling more widely.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ No, have you? ” Bernard was enjoying himself thoroughly.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ No?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Now is n't this jolly? ” he said.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Now you are more comfortable, are you not? ” 146 THE PURPLE PEARL that what the row's about?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Now you are more comfortable, are you not? ” 146 THE PURPLE PEARL that what the row's about?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Oh, Bernard, how did you get hold of it?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Oh, I forgot, you are n't going to believe it, are you?-you and Mrs. Lindsay? ” Bernard laid his hand on her shoulder.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Oh, where where are you going to?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Oh, you will, will you, you little vixen?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Only what?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Perhaps you were think- ing of going to live in it when you invade England?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Please, sir- milord, I mean- do you want an'ousemaid? ” Bernard jumped.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Quite sure?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Really? ” “ Bernard Mereworth — the Birmingham lot, you know.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Schramm?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Shall I be snubbed if I offer to do that?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Shall I come up and have a look at your young lady?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Shall I start her for you now?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Shall you mind? ” “ Not much.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ She was going to marry Martin — and he's lost out there in Germany- and she's just breaking her heart! ” “ Martin- Martin Mereworth?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ So you have come to yourself? ” Schramm held the candle so near to Martin's face that a splash of hot grease fell on his cheek.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Sure you would n't like me to come in with you? ” Bernard laughed.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ That fairy tale?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ That photograph? ” Miss Fleet took a leisurely survey.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ That settles that, then, and did you think I was such a sentimental fellow? ” He laughed down at her, reverting to his lightest tone.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ The Herr Captain will buy this beautiful cabbage?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ The keys of the cellar, Parker?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ The poor devil was doing no harm —"“ Swine of an Englishman, would you dare?!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Then I sup- pose you did n't know he got the V.C.? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ There, that is better than water, is it not? ”"Tophole,"said Martin gratefully.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ This is the Herr Captain who has been in prison?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ To call me? ” “ Well, you see, Dell is so cold and Winifred sounds so familiar,"Bernard explained.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ To marry Martin?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ To- morrow afternoon, shall we say?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Violet — now those two charmers have gone, could n't you let me hold your hand? – Thank you.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Violet, 1–1 love you so, you will be true to me?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Well then you know it was n't really his medi- cine grandfather wanted — suppose he had been pointing at something else on the table?!!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Well, at least I have n't said anything, and he is n't the sort of man to divine things! ” Was he not?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What did I do? ”!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What for, sir? ” “ Savin'my life, ” said Strickland.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What good would a thousand pounds do to me if I was shot?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is all that noise on the bridge? ” said Miles in a savage whisper.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is she like, your Winifred Dell?!!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is that? ” Heinz slipped his hand sud- denly into Martin's shirt.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is the reason of your extraordinary conduct? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is the third word —? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is the third word, Lord Martin?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What is this extraordinary name, Eberhardt?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What secret? ” “ The secret of the Mereworth treasure. ” “ That old story? ” said Violet.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What secret? ” “ The secret of the Mereworth treasure. ” “ That old story? ” said Violet.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What treasure?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What will you have, then? ” “ Nothing, thanks.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What would Beauty like massa to bring her back for a fairing?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What's below there?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What's that tumbledown shanty over by the South Gate?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What's the matter? ” “ Come in and be civilized, I'm sure it's time for elevenses.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What, slugs and all? ” said Martin.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ What? ” “ D- I- N- E. At the Ritz or anywhere you like.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ When do you expect that brat to ar- rive?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ When will he be back? ”!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Where did your ances- tors live?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Whereas in reality I am —?!
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Who goes there? ” the rasping voice rang out.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Who is going to marry you?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Who told you about the Purple Pearl, miss?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Who was your great grandfather? ”.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why do n't you ask him?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why do you refuse?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why do you stand in the wet?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why not? ” said Winnie, kneeling by her sister and putting her arms round her.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why should I play you any trick?''
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why this gloom?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why, do you know anything about him? ” Martin's memory was wide awake by now and his eyes were startled.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Will Thursday evening do if I can soothe Ethel? ” “ Righto, ” said Bernard.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Will that suit you, eh? ” “ Yes, if I can have a rise if I give satisfaction, milord. ” “ Oh, I'll rise you — I'll rise you if you stay.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Winnie, do you realize what a lucky child you are?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Would you like to hear your lady mother's opinion? ” 148 THE PURPLE PEARL He turned to the last page of Lady Grace's let- ter.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Ye- es, ” said Martin, drawling,"she is considered so. ” “ Why does she stay with Mrs. Adeane?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Yes — bath- rooms and offices. ” “ Sounds like somebody coughing, what? ”"It is a dog.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You are rather an old ass, do n't you think?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You do n't like that- eh?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You do n't think so?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You haf not left the nippers?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You have n't had much of a time of it, have you?"
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You have n't much mercy in your composition, have you? ” Winnie found herself suddenly growing warm.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You horrid, miserable little reptile, ” said Win- nie, “ how DARE.you? ” 152 THE PURPLE PEARL William clapped his hand to his nose.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You permit me to smoke? ”"It is not usual to smoke in this room."
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You recognize that seal, do you not? ” “ That proves nothing.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You were told, were you not, that your friend was shot in escaping across a river?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You?
hvd.hn1j8r	“ You? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1j8r	“ Your name is —?"
hvd.hn24aw	Afraid?
hvd.hn24aw	And do n't you ever stop to fear for yourself? ”. hvd.hn24aw And so you are the clever crook?"
hvd.hn24aw	And spoil everything? hvd.hn24aw And the orders?"
hvd.hn24aw	And there is no trouble-- nothing I can do to help? ” he persisted. hvd.hn24aw And who is this speaking? ” “ This is Mr.
hvd.hn24aw	Brother Howard going, too? ” “ Yes — he is going. ” “ With any particular young lady? ” “ No- alone. ” “ Good! hvd.hn24aw Brother Howard going, too? ” “ Yes — he is going. ” “ With any particular young lady? ” “ No- alone. ” “ Good!
hvd.hn24aw	But never paid particular attention to me, did you?
hvd.hn24aw	But you, sir?
hvd.hn24aw	Ca n't we decide it to- morrow afternoon, dear? hvd.hn24aw Did n't we? ” Muggs snarled.
hvd.hn24aw	Do n't you think we'd better call the police now, boss? hvd.hn24aw Do we call the police now, boss? ” Muggs asked.
hvd.hn24aw	Do you want to save her, save her brother also? hvd.hn24aw Dreaming, eh?"
hvd.hn24aw	Everything all right out there? ” he asked. hvd.hn24aw Fly cops, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	Got an organiza- tion that reaches into every corner, eh? hvd.hn24aw Got him all right? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	Guess again! ”Well, what is the idea, then?
hvd.hn24aw	Had breakfast? hvd.hn24aw Have you killed him?"
hvd.hn24aw	How did they get there?
hvd.hn24aw	How do you like my new headquarters? ” he asked. hvd.hn24aw How is the prisoner? ” Verbeck asked Muggs after the lineman had departed.
hvd.hn24aw	How long,he demanded of Verbeck,"are you going to keep me prisoner, with a maniac for jailer?"
hvd.hn24aw	I suppose you think you are very clever?
hvd.hn24aw	I suppose you want to join my organization and are taking this melodramatic way to show me you are fitted?
hvd.hn24aw	I'm not saying anything! ” “ You decorated the head of my bed with that thing, I suppose?
hvd.hn24aw	If that Muggs man of yours is playing tricks-"Would he smash himself on the head?
hvd.hn24aw	Indeed? hvd.hn24aw Indeed? ” Roger asked, beckoning Riley and Muggs toward him.
hvd.hn24aw	Indeed?
hvd.hn24aw	Is anything the matter? ” he asked. hvd.hn24aw Is this Mr. Verbeck's apartment?"
hvd.hn24aw	Nope! ”How far have you come?"
hvd.hn24aw	Possibly I've tapped the line right in police head- quatrers building — who knows? ” the Black Star taunted. hvd.hn24aw Quite 34 THE BLACK STAR a comedy you play here, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	See those tracks? hvd.hn24aw Some special line of work, sir?
hvd.hn24aw	Still determined, eh? hvd.hn24aw W- what?"
hvd.hn24aw	Was she really frightened or only playing a part? hvd.hn24aw Well, what are you going to do? ”.
hvd.hn24aw	Well, what do you think of that? ”'Verbeck mused. hvd.hn24aw Well? ” Riley said.
hvd.hn24aw	What about the chief crook in the other room? hvd.hn24aw What happened? ” the detective demanded.
hvd.hn24aw	What kind of a stunt is this?
hvd.hn24aw	What's that door over there? ” Riley asked, point- ing across one of the rooms. hvd.hn24aw What's the matter with Muggs?"
hvd.hn24aw	What's the matter?'' hvd.hn24aw When you goin'to get the Black Star?"
hvd.hn24aw	Where did you get information?
hvd.hn24aw	Where did you get it? ”. hvd.hn24aw Where did you get that ring?"
hvd.hn24aw	Who are you, and where are you going?
hvd.hn24aw	Why did n't you send up your card from the office?
hvd.hn24aw	Why — what is the matter? ” he stammered. hvd.hn24aw Would you mind telling me how this is to be done?
hvd.hn24aw	Yeh? hvd.hn24aw You accused me, did n't you? ” Verbeck turned away from the window and walked to the table.
hvd.hn24aw	You accusin'me?
hvd.hn24aw	You see this small button here? hvd.hn24aw You think I am jesting?
hvd.hn24aw	You think I swallowed it, Muggs?
hvd.hn24aw	You want proof, eh? hvd.hn24aw -Then how You do n't think I tipped it off in any way?"
hvd.hn24aw	A NOCTURNAL VISIT 139 “ The chief? ”"Naw!
hvd.hn24aw	Absolute protection- you see?
hvd.hn24aw	Ai n't that what the Black Star said in his letter?
hvd.hn24aw	And do you know her identity, Roger Verbeck?
hvd.hn24aw	And had Riley betrayed their contemplated trap?
hvd.hn24aw	And how does he know what's in my safe?
hvd.hn24aw	And now he wrote on the blackboard himself:"Why did you not carry out orders?".
hvd.hn24aw	And now what are you going to do about it? ” “ Suppose I hand you over to the police?".
hvd.hn24aw	And now what are you going to do about it? ” “ Suppose I hand you over to the police?".
hvd.hn24aw	And now you'll go, wo n't you, Roger?
hvd.hn24aw	Are you thinking of remaining away? ” She was looking ahead, and Verbeck imagined that her lips quivered for an instant.
hvd.hn24aw	Been fearing to sleep or eat or ride abroad?
hvd.hn24aw	Big crook, eh?"
hvd.hn24aw	But I'll break some of'em first-"Your men are after him, are n't they?"
hvd.hn24aw	But what can we do?
hvd.hn24aw	But where did he come from?
hvd.hn24aw	But where the deuce does this wire run?"
hvd.hn24aw	Can you open it quietly and without attracting attention, while those police are wondering about the shots? ” Muggs went to work, making no noise.
hvd.hn24aw	Can you understand that?
hvd.hn24aw	Cause my boss trouble, will you?
hvd.hn24aw	Could it be possible, he asked himself, that some of the Black Star's band had grown suspicious and would take an active part against him?
hvd.hn24aw	Crime did n't pay, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	Did he ever leave a mussed- up safe behind? ”.
hvd.hn24aw	Did she imagine he had played on her love to make her a member of a band of thieves?
hvd.hn24aw	Did she think he was the Black Star?
hvd.hn24aw	Did you not?
hvd.hn24aw	Do you fancy it?".
hvd.hn24aw	Do you feel you can trust Riley? ”"I certainly do,"said Verbeck earnestly.
hvd.hn24aw	Do you know the woman you are handing over to the police through meddling with my affairs?
hvd.hn24aw	Do you understand that, Mr. Roger Verbeck?
hvd.hn24aw	Do you understand? ” “ Yes, ” she wrote.
hvd.hn24aw	Every man and woman in that organization has a very good reason for being loyal to me""Women?"
hvd.hn24aw	Had Howard Wen- dell noticed that ring, too?
hvd.hn24aw	Had Howard been the midnight prowler waiting on the boulevard to see what time Verbeck reached home?
hvd.hn24aw	Had Riley been right?
hvd.hn24aw	Had a bad cold, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	Had the Black Star, a prisoner in the old Verbeck house, sent out some message from his prison calling for rescue?
hvd.hn24aw	Had they not searched the house from bottom to top the evening before?
hvd.hn24aw	Have n't you? ”"I was just reciting a list of his sins, boss."
hvd.hn24aw	Have your little signs pasted on his bed and all over his library, will you?
hvd.hn24aw	He is the one who brought you the letter that first night concerning the Greistman jewels — remember?
hvd.hn24aw	He went to the blackboard and wrote again:"Are you sure, sir, that these are my orders?"
hvd.hn24aw	He'll need them to guard him. ” “ Who the devil are you?"
hvd.hn24aw	How did he know what I said last night 44 THE BLACK STAR at a private reception in a private residence, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	How do we know where he'll strike next?
hvd.hn24aw	How do you suppose I heard of your boast at that reception a few nights ago?
hvd.hn24aw	How do you suppose I knew that?
hvd.hn24aw	How do you suppose I know so much about people's private affairs?
hvd.hn24aw	How many policemen? ”"A dozen at least, boss — and there may be another auto full of'em coming."
hvd.hn24aw	How many times have you seen me, spoken to me? ” “ Half a dozen, I suppose."
hvd.hn24aw	How, then, had the Black Star heard of them?
hvd.hn24aw	How, then, had the knowledge reached the Black Star?
hvd.hn24aw	I do n't know how you got on my trail so swiftly to- night, but it did n't save the bank from losing a vast sum, and did n't help you much, did it?
hvd.hn24aw	I got a hunch""You heard what he said, did n't you, Muggs?
hvd.hn24aw	I heard of your foolish boast of last night, did n't I?
hvd.hn24aw	I said I'd get you, and I have! ” “ But — How did you get here so soon?
hvd.hn24aw	I suppose he means to- night. ” “ What plans have you made?"
hvd.hn24aw	I suppose you'll kiss me now, Faustina, even if Howard is looking?
hvd.hn24aw	I told you that I had an organization that gathered information, did n't I?
hvd.hn24aw	I understand he is a more or less permanent guest of yours. ” “ Who is this? ” Roger demanded in turn.
hvd.hn24aw	I was putting letter on desk when they caught me. ” “ Did you come straight here?"
hvd.hn24aw	I woke up and found myself on the floor- and tried to call the boss. ” “ That's all?"
hvd.hn24aw	I wonder if the Black Star has been treating her badly and has made her afraid of him?
hvd.hn24aw	I'd rather rely on myself and Muggs. ” “ Rubbing it in, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	If he escapes now""Why do n't you call in the police, boss?"
hvd.hn24aw	If the Black Star tried anything like that Muggs would tell me at once. ”"Then how did it happen?
hvd.hn24aw	If you were the Black Star and held enmity for me, and wanted to turn a big trick to show your contempt for the police, what would you do? ”"Ha!
hvd.hn24aw	If you were the Black Star, and read that in the papers, what would you do?
hvd.hn24aw	Is there anything wrong-anything I can do to help?"
hvd.hn24aw	It has n't been so very much of an ad- venture, after all, has it, old man?
hvd.hn24aw	It is getting to be a bore. ”"Really?".
hvd.hn24aw	It stands to reason, does n't it, that nobody has been in this house except the three of us? ”"It looks that way, but,""Humph!
hvd.hn24aw	Leave sassy letters for him, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	Muggs — you understand? ” “ Yes, sir, ” said Muggs.
hvd.hn24aw	Nail the boss, will he?
hvd.hn24aw	Not a rat could get out of this block without being seen and caught. ” “ Yeh?
hvd.hn24aw	Notice the swag I've got here on the table? ” He bent forward and tore the gag from the Black Star's mouth.
hvd.hn24aw	Or, would they find the door of the vault open and a fortune in jewels gone? ” Riley bent over and screeched in Muggs'ear:"Stop that horn!
hvd.hn24aw	Perhaps I am a bit tired, though. ”"Too much Charity Ball? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	Perhaps it'll be best, after all. ”"But where? ” Riley asked.
hvd.hn24aw	Planned a coup of some sort? ” “ Time will tell, ” said Verbeck.
hvd.hn24aw	Police headquarters? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	Quite ambitious- that?
hvd.hn24aw	Rather surly, are n't you?"
hvd.hn24aw	Ready, Ver- beck? ” · The sergeant whirled toward them.
hvd.hn24aw	Ready?
hvd.hn24aw	Remember that dark space near the middle of the viaduct, where so many holdups come off?
hvd.hn24aw	Return and report one month from to- night at midnight. ” INTO THE PIT"Countersign?"
hvd.hn24aw	Roger Verbeck thinks I fear to tell him in advance, does he?
hvd.hn24aw	Say, is it true what they say?"
hvd.hn24aw	Say, is that right, what the papers say about you plan- ning that trap about the necklace?"
hvd.hn24aw	See?"
hvd.hn24aw	Simple, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	So she'll be caught, too, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	So you are going to continue your efforts to capture me, eh? ” ·"I am- certainly!"
hvd.hn24aw	So you can talk, eh? ” Muggs waved his head from side to side and caused the gag to slip again.
hvd.hn24aw	So you think I am the Black Star? ” “ I know it."
hvd.hn24aw	So you'll send my men and women to jail, will you?
hvd.hn24aw	So you've got out the dragnet, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	So your man thought he had escaped, did he?
hvd.hn24aw	Some time during the next four days, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	Stop at the rooms and get that bunch of keys in the right- hand drawer of my desk-"“ The keys to the old place?"
hvd.hn24aw	That'd be lovely, would n't it?"
hvd.hn24aw	That's agreeable?
hvd.hn24aw	The Black Star chal- lenged me, did n't he?
hvd.hn24aw	This is the best proof of it, is n't it?
hvd.hn24aw	Threw him in the car and covered him up- see?
hvd.hn24aw	Tidy little arrangement?
hvd.hn24aw	Turn state's evidence, Mr. Verbeck?
hvd.hn24aw	Under- stand?"
hvd.hn24aw	Understand?
hvd.hn24aw	Verbeck answered on his board:"Why?
hvd.hn24aw	Verbeck demanded, and read on: “ Is there anything to explain?
hvd.hn24aw	Very clever, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	Very well! ” 236 THE BLACK STAR"And where is this to take place?"
hvd.hn24aw	Was Muggs a Black Star man?
hvd.hn24aw	We had him surrounded in a house once out on the river, and did n't he get to the roof and streak it away in an aëroplane?".
hvd.hn24aw	We must be getting important, Muggs- eh? ” “ Yes, sir,"said Muggs.
hvd.hn24aw	We want to get him with the goods, see?
hvd.hn24aw	We'll send his eight crooks over the road, but not the Black Star, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	We'll talk of it to- night?
hvd.hn24aw	We've got him this time! ” “ How'd you know? ” Muggs demanded.
hvd.hn24aw	Whaddaya think of his nerve?
hvd.hn24aw	What do you mean, Muggs?
hvd.hn24aw	What is it?"
hvd.hn24aw	What is this?"
hvd.hn24aw	What might she not suspect, when she had seen that ring?
hvd.hn24aw	What numbers did the men have, those to whom you gave orders?".
hvd.hn24aw	What time is it?"
hvd.hn24aw	What was it the Black Star had said?
hvd.hn24aw	What will th'public say to this?
hvd.hn24aw	What would be the motive?
hvd.hn24aw	What"“ And the old Dutchman wrapped it up right under your eyes, did n't he?
hvd.hn24aw	What's th'matter?"
hvd.hn24aw	What's that?
hvd.hn24aw	What's the trouble? ”"Did you notice the top of the loaf carefully when you picked it up?"
hvd.hn24aw	What's the trouble? ”"Did you notice the top of the loaf carefully when you picked it up?"
hvd.hn24aw	What's this a note? ” One of the men held his torch, and the chief read it swiftly: DEAR CHIEF: Here is Roger Verbeck safe and sound.
hvd.hn24aw	Where are you?"
hvd.hn24aw	Where do you suppose he'll strike?".
hvd.hn24aw	Who had put the stars on the bread then, and who had struck down Muggs and stamped his forehead?
hvd.hn24aw	Who was this man before him who could be expected to engage Miss Freda Brakeland in conversation without arousing suspicion?
hvd.hn24aw	Why did n't I think of it before?
hvd.hn24aw	Why not find me?
hvd.hn24aw	Whạt numbers did they have?"
hvd.hn24aw	Will you be angry, Faustina, if I ask you to go to the ball with Howard?
hvd.hn24aw	Would he turn traitor now?
hvd.hn24aw	Would they arrive in time to find him at work?
hvd.hn24aw	Yes?
hvd.hn24aw	You and your young lady and her brother?
hvd.hn24aw	You are IN CUSTODY 301 not very observing, are you?
hvd.hn24aw	You begin to under- stand?"
hvd.hn24aw	You came in the electric? ” “ Yes, ” Faustina said.
hvd.hn24aw	You do n't believe that, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	You do n't suppose this Black Star has got hold of Muggs-corrupted him or got the hooks into him?"
hvd.hn24aw	You fol- low?
hvd.hn24aw	You gave Muggs a heavy shot, did n't you?"
hvd.hn24aw	You have n't heard anything, have you?"
hvd.hn24aw	You know we have to go, of course?
hvd.hn24aw	You know who told me of your boast at that reception?
hvd.hn24aw	You realize what will happen if they are caught, do n't you?
hvd.hn24aw	You see the aperture in the wall?
hvd.hn24aw	You see this small cable running through the corner?
hvd.hn24aw	You see?
hvd.hn24aw	You see?
hvd.hn24aw	You want to know how they are to be captured, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	You'll break up my organization?
hvd.hn24aw	You'll come in, of course? ” He followed her inside, and greeted her mother, who immediately left them alone.
hvd.hn24aw	You'll let me help you? ” THE POLICE GET A TIP 79 “ Yes, ” she said, “ we'll talk of it to- night.
hvd.hn24aw	You're all right?"
hvd.hn24aw	You've been worry- ing about it all that time, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	You've heard from him? ”.
hvd.hn24aw	Your gag has slipped?
hvd.hn24aw	· Detective Riley, then?
hvd.hn24aw	·"That you were planning a trap for the Black Star and he knew all about it?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ And the women?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ And then?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ And what about the ball? ” “ I — I have decided to go, ” she said, looking at him peculiarly.
hvd.hn24aw	“ And what do they say?".
hvd.hn24aw	“ And you think I'll let you go now? ” Verbeck de- manded.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Anxious for action?".
hvd.hn24aw	“ Any orders? ” he wrote finally.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Anything above? ” Riley asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Are you afraid, when I am here beside you?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Are you, by any chance, trying to frighten me?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Black Star, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Boss, you bought that bread at the delicatessen, did n't you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ But can you do it? ”"I'll make the arrangements to- morrow.
hvd.hn24aw	“ But how are we goin'to get out, sir? ” one of the crooks asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ But where's the trap, Roger? ”.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Ca n't you confide in me, Faustina?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Countersign? ”"Florida. ”"Report,"wrote the Black Star.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Do you see where we are?
hvd.hn24aw	“ He sent one to you?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ How did it happen?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ How far does this thing run? ” No one took the trouble to answer him.
hvd.hn24aw	“ How'd you get on this line?
hvd.hn24aw	“ I want to see you before you go- Oh,'tis you, Mr. Verbeck?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Indeed?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Indeed? ”.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Is n't it dangerous?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Just picked a loaf off the counter and had it wrapped up?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Know where the Albemarle Apartments might be? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ May I ask how you expect to catch these persons?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ May I speak to you a minute- boss? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Must I carry them out? ”"They must be carried out to the letter,"wrote Verbeck.
hvd.hn24aw	“ My gang?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Pardon, but I did. ”"You appeared at the corner I mentioned? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn24aw	“ See him?
hvd.hn24aw	“ See him?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Seen any other launch? ” the officer demanded.
hvd.hn24aw	“ So he's been here since he escaped the police, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	“ So you are the Black Star?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ So?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Suppose one of your crooks is captured while committing a crime, and brings the police down on you to save himself? ”"He would not.
hvd.hn24aw	“ That you, Muggs?".
hvd.hn24aw	“ Then there is something wrong?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Try conclusions with me, will you — you and your precious master?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Verbeck conscious yet?
hvd.hn24aw	“ We've been following this wire, have n't we?
hvd.hn24aw	“ What are you going to do, boss?".
hvd.hn24aw	“ What can we do?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ What could that be?
hvd.hn24aw	“ What do you care? ”"I am interested.
hvd.hn24aw	“ What do you know about that?
hvd.hn24aw	“ What do you think of that, eh?
hvd.hn24aw	“ What's coming off here? ”.
hvd.hn24aw	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ What's this mean? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn24aw	“ What's this?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Where does that chimney go? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Where was the clerk? ” They rushed back into the lobby.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Who are you? ” the Black Star asked.
hvd.hn24aw	“ Why did you do that?"
hvd.hn24aw	“ Why, yes! ”"Did n't notice anything unusual about it?
hvd.hn24aw	“ Will you listen now, and ask no questions? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn24aw	“ You are conscious again, then?
hvd.hn24aw	“ You have ar- ranged everything, have you?
hvd.hn24aw	“ You have understood so far?
hvd.hn24aw	“ You understand? ” he asked.
hvd.hn24aw	”"Why untie you when I've got it all right here on the table?"
hvd.hn1vup	About me?
hvd.hn1vup	About this affair? hvd.hn1vup An American?"
hvd.hn1vup	An — an official?
hvd.hn1vup	And Monsieur is staying where?
hvd.hn1vup	And he questioned you?
hvd.hn1vup	And how did he know of it?
hvd.hn1vup	And it also leaves you alone; does n't it? hvd.hn1vup And its meaning?"
hvd.hn1vup	And now I find you here, a prisoner, you say, on the road to —"Oh, he said that, did he? hvd.hn1vup And now, Monsieur?"
hvd.hn1vup	And still you believed what Paroff said?
hvd.hn1vup	And that I should accept?
hvd.hn1vup	And that one?
hvd.hn1vup	And you, to offer no harm to Miss Ewing?
hvd.hn1vup	Are you sure? hvd.hn1vup Are you sure?
hvd.hn1vup	At the club? hvd.hn1vup Born here?
hvd.hn1vup	But Miss Ewing — should she not be con- sulted?
hvd.hn1vup	But Zemoff? hvd.hn1vup But a prisoner?
hvd.hn1vup	But how did you know?
hvd.hn1vup	But how long ago was this, Monsieur?
hvd.hn1vup	But how? hvd.hn1vup But if you feel so strongly against Zemoff,"I asked, carefully feeling my way,"why did you give him back the dahlia stem?"
hvd.hn1vup	But is it fair to ascribe all this progress to the people themselves?
hvd.hn1vup	But on the other hand we have friends along the Tresnitz road"Friends who know the Ewings?
hvd.hn1vup	By Jove, Mr. Markham,he finally managed to exclaim,"they did hook you, did n't they?
hvd.hn1vup	By the way,I asked,"can you tell me what that old ruin near the cathedral is — I mean the little one with the round tower?
hvd.hn1vup	Capital sort of a girl, is n't she? hvd.hn1vup Did Zemoff tell you that?
hvd.hn1vup	Did it come from Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	Did you recognize it?
hvd.hn1vup	Do n't you find it rather rough living?
hvd.hn1vup	Do you know when the coup d'etat is to be executed?
hvd.hn1vup	Do you mean to say that Mr. Fenn- Brook is behind us there alone? hvd.hn1vup Do you mean to say that you do n't know how many there were?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you not see, Monsieur, that we must stop him? hvd.hn1vup Do you wish to earn another silver piece?
hvd.hn1vup	Does the Fraulein know German, perhaps? hvd.hn1vup Explain?"
hvd.hn1vup	Force? hvd.hn1vup From Austria?"
hvd.hn1vup	Go back to Zemoff, the pig- dog?
hvd.hn1vup	Godovi? hvd.hn1vup Have you had breakfast yet?"
hvd.hn1vup	Have you seen Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	He stole it? hvd.hn1vup Hotel Macedonia, sir?"
hvd.hn1vup	How comes it,I asked, in the little of the language of the Fatherland that I could master,"that you understand German?"
hvd.hn1vup	How could you do it? hvd.hn1vup How do you know anything of what was told your chief that evening?"
hvd.hn1vup	How do you suppose I guessed that Bantscha and Stanchoff belonged to your side; or even that Zemoff was involved in the plot?
hvd.hn1vup	I am — If Monsieur will kindly"Oh, you speak French, do you? hvd.hn1vup I can trust you, can I not?"
hvd.hn1vup	I say, it's strange; is n't it, Markham?
hvd.hn1vup	I — I — Was n't that the most ridiculous scene?
hvd.hn1vup	I, engaged to Mr. Zemoff? hvd.hn1vup If two Americans may speak to each other at table d'hote, why not on the Galata Bridge?"
hvd.hn1vup	Is Marie Traube dead?
hvd.hn1vup	Is Monsieur ready to start?
hvd.hn1vup	May I have a word with you, Monsieur Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	Meesh Ewing? hvd.hn1vup Miss Ewing — you will take her away?"
hvd.hn1vup	Monsieur Markham will promise to be quiet?
hvd.hn1vup	Monsieur?
hvd.hn1vup	Not the Miss Ewing?
hvd.hn1vup	Not — not with the Miss Ewing?
hvd.hn1vup	Oh, one is enough, especially when — Miss Ewing, I suppose it would be most unchivalrous in me to ask any payment for performing this mission?
hvd.hn1vup	Oh, what have I done? hvd.hn1vup On this spot, do you mean?
hvd.hn1vup	Pardon, Monsieur; but may I ask whether Monsieur has long been here?
hvd.hn1vup	Pardon? hvd.hn1vup Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	See here, Markham, what does this mean? hvd.hn1vup She is noble, yes?
hvd.hn1vup	So will Monsieur kindly write a note to the porter at his hotel saying that he will be away for a few days on an excursion? hvd.hn1vup St. Stefano's?
hvd.hn1vup	Start? hvd.hn1vup Stolen?
hvd.hn1vup	Stolen?
hvd.hn1vup	Tell me,she whispered, half eagerly, half in dread,"have you been troubled by anyone?
hvd.hn1vup	Tell me; was it because of her, of the Miss Ewing, that you are here? hvd.hn1vup Tell?
hvd.hn1vup	The American? hvd.hn1vup The Russian Ambassador?"
hvd.hn1vup	The date set is the fifth of this month?
hvd.hn1vup	The— Then, as the purport of my question struck home;"but you — how do you know that?"
hvd.hn1vup	Then I am undoubtedly right in surmising that my abductors belong to your party?
hvd.hn1vup	Then how in the world did the thing come into his possession?
hvd.hn1vup	There is a message for me?
hvd.hn1vup	To- night?
hvd.hn1vup	Treachery?
hvd.hn1vup	We are to be here all day, then?
hvd.hn1vup	What are you doing here?
hvd.hn1vup	What have I done? hvd.hn1vup What have I done?
hvd.hn1vup	What is it? hvd.hn1vup What is the charge against me?
hvd.hn1vup	What made you ask me that question? hvd.hn1vup When does the event occur?"
hvd.hn1vup	When shall we start?
hvd.hn1vup	Where in the world did you come from, Paroff? hvd.hn1vup Who did it, Monsieur?"
hvd.hn1vup	Who ever heard of such a thing? hvd.hn1vup Who told you about the plot?"
hvd.hn1vup	Why should she have taken it?
hvd.hn1vup	Why, what are you doing?
hvd.hn1vup	Will Monsieur Markham promise still to be quiet, or must we cover him with a rug in the bottom of the carriage?
hvd.hn1vup	Will you dine at the club?
hvd.hn1vup	Will you — wo n't you please be generous?
hvd.hn1vup	Yes?
hvd.hn1vup	You are a stranger to the Balkans, are you not?
hvd.hn1vup	You are promptness itself, are you not? hvd.hn1vup You are ready to take that oath?"
hvd.hn1vup	You had hired one that day, had you not? hvd.hn1vup You have not known Miss Ewing long?
hvd.hn1vup	You imagine, do you, that Miss Ewing will doubt my discretion? hvd.hn1vup You say he was riding past the Consulate?"
hvd.hn1vup	You think then, that he will send a challenge?
hvd.hn1vup	You will go with me, wo n't you, to interview Marie Traube? hvd.hn1vup You will go?
hvd.hn1vup	You will promise not to tell them?
hvd.hn1vup	You would not go back to Zemoff?
hvd.hn1vup	You — you have a message — from Con- stantinople?
hvd.hn1vup	Zemoff?
hvd.hn1vup	Zemoff?
hvd.hn1vup	, What earthly motive could that dandy have had in taking a wrecked flower from the hand of a dirty old beggar?
hvd.hn1vup	12 THE BRIDGE OF MYSTERY"You know Constantinople very well?"
hvd.hn1vup	20 THE BRIDGE OF MYSTERY"And did Monsieur happen to see an old beggar standing near him?"
hvd.hn1vup	208 ZEMOFF PREPARES A SURPRISE"Will you please open that, and look inside?''
hvd.hn1vup	214 ZEMOFF PREPARES A SURPRISE"Marie knew the importance of the dahlia stem, did she not, and that it ought to be delivered at once?"
hvd.hn1vup	215 THE STEM OF THE CRIMSON DAHLIA Are you sure they are all there?
hvd.hn1vup	249 THE STEM OF THE CRIMSON DAHLIA You believe my story as to how the token was lost, do you not?"
hvd.hn1vup	272 MARIE TELLS THE TRUTH"And you did not tell him that you had found it; that I had thrown it away?"
hvd.hn1vup	96 THE COST OF A BAD SHOT"Send a challenge?
hvd.hn1vup	A ruler from Europe, like Ferdinand, or a man who shoots his enemies from the bushes by the roadside?"
hvd.hn1vup	A thief, you say?"
hvd.hn1vup	A visitor?
hvd.hn1vup	A young girl?
hvd.hn1vup	Alone with those awful men?"
hvd.hn1vup	Am I right?"
hvd.hn1vup	And Bantscha?
hvd.hn1vup	And do you know how mean I have been?
hvd.hn1vup	And if they were the Ewings, then where was the black- bearded spy who should be behind them?
hvd.hn1vup	And incidentally, 106 A SUMMONS FROM MY CHIEF are you sure that they had the vinaigrette in mind?
hvd.hn1vup	And me?
hvd.hn1vup	And now will you kindly leave us?"
hvd.hn1vup	And what wonder?
hvd.hn1vup	And where?
hvd.hn1vup	And why again?"
hvd.hn1vup	And why, pray, did you start for the ground alone?
hvd.hn1vup	And yet, what could possibly be the reason of such a thing?
hvd.hn1vup	And,"I added, pointedly,"in time?"
hvd.hn1vup	Are you a man, Monsieur Markham, or the devil himself?"
hvd.hn1vup	Are you honest?
hvd.hn1vup	Are you ready to swear solemnly that within one month after your formal acknowledgment as King, you will become involved in a war with Turkey?"
hvd.hn1vup	At what time do you dine?"
hvd.hn1vup	Bending my ear close to him I caught the words, half spoken, half gurgled:"The letter?
hvd.hn1vup	But are you sure she is sincere?
hvd.hn1vup	But how does its return affect either of us?
hvd.hn1vup	But it does n't matter now, does it?
hvd.hn1vup	But where were the others that they should permit it?"
hvd.hn1vup	But why have they taken you?"
hvd.hn1vup	But — but how did you know that?"
hvd.hn1vup	By the way, I suppose that ZemoflF reached the cloister in safety, and is still there?"
hvd.hn1vup	By the way, Shevutkin, speak- ing en famille, is it true that you had a hand in this disappearance of the Bulgarian Agent in Con- stantinople?
hvd.hn1vup	By the way, were the feelings of that Turkish official very much hurt by my escape?"
hvd.hn1vup	By the way, you have n't any cigars, here, have you?
hvd.hn1vup	Can you not imagine yourself a Saladin, kneeling with his spoils of war before his lady- love?
hvd.hn1vup	Can you remember them?"
hvd.hn1vup	Can you tell me where it is?"
hvd.hn1vup	Can you tell me where it is?"
hvd.hn1vup	Could I trust the girl?
hvd.hn1vup	Did n't you know?
hvd.hn1vup	Did she know?
hvd.hn1vup	Do I not know Paroff, Paroff the cunning?
hvd.hn1vup	Do I not know where the Bulgarian Agent is hid?
hvd.hn1vup	Do n't you think so?
hvd.hn1vup	Do you chance to know her?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you know they have been killing a lot of Bulgarians again?
hvd.hn1vup	Do you know what that token was, of which you spoke, a moment ago?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you not know?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you understand?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you understand?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you wish me to tell you what happened?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you — what must you think of me?"
hvd.hn1vup	Do you?
hvd.hn1vup	Ewing is n't exactly a Bul- garian name, is it?"
hvd.hn1vup	Ewing not told you?"
hvd.hn1vup	Find it?
hvd.hn1vup	Has Markham told you that we are dining together at the club to- night?
hvd.hn1vup	Has everything gone well?
hvd.hn1vup	Have I not been true to him?
hvd.hn1vup	Have I not turned off the Veretkin, the Russian Secretary at Constantinople?
hvd.hn1vup	Have I not, turned off others who could give me double his money?
hvd.hn1vup	Have I the appearance of a liar and a traitor?
hvd.hn1vup	Have they suspected you?"
hvd.hn1vup	Have you seen him?"
hvd.hn1vup	He is quite the last horse in the race; are n't you Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	He says that, yes?
hvd.hn1vup	He will marry the Ewing?
hvd.hn1vup	How cap I ever thank you?
hvd.hn1vup	How did you come by it?"
hvd.hn1vup	How is Ferdinand to be dis- posed of?"
hvd.hn1vup	I must hurry to her now, lest the little leaves lose their color; not so?"
hvd.hn1vup	I""The English chapel, as we call it?
hvd.hn1vup	If on the Galata Bridge, thought I, why not in a railroad train?
hvd.hn1vup	In America, perhaps?"
hvd.hn1vup	Is Zemoff the man to give her them?
hvd.hn1vup	Is a man who would lie as Zemoff lied to you a fit man to guide her policies?
hvd.hn1vup	Is it agreed?
hvd.hn1vup	Is it not so?"
hvd.hn1vup	It was to delay the execution of the plot that you had Zemoff arrested this morn- ing, was it not?"
hvd.hn1vup	Kidnapped?
hvd.hn1vup	Markham here is rather an expert at diplomatic intrigue; are you not, Markham?
hvd.hn1vup	Markham?"
hvd.hn1vup	Markham?"
hvd.hn1vup	May not the reading of the message have been changed?
hvd.hn1vup	Monsieur did not perhaps notice whether the young lady to whom he gave it had blond hair?"
hvd.hn1vup	Monsieur does not remember, perhaps, how many petals remained on the dahlia stem?"
hvd.hn1vup	More conspiracies?
hvd.hn1vup	Not so?"
hvd.hn1vup	Now, then, will you accept my story, and tell others that you believe it?
hvd.hn1vup	Now, what cock- and- bull yarn has Zemoff been inventing?"
hvd.hn1vup	Of me, who have been his slave, what?
hvd.hn1vup	Or find anything that would help me to picture it?
hvd.hn1vup	Or that she has not added more, from another flower?"
hvd.hn1vup	Or the Ewings?
hvd.hn1vup	Paroff promised, I suppose, that he would protect you from the anger of your party?"
hvd.hn1vup	Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	Peasants?
hvd.hn1vup	Play billiards?"
hvd.hn1vup	Rather interesting, that, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1vup	Ridiculous, was n't it?
hvd.hn1vup	Robbery?"
hvd.hn1vup	She is noble, yes?
hvd.hn1vup	Speak, I say: Are you honest?"
hvd.hn1vup	Start where?"
hvd.hn1vup	Stolen?"
hvd.hn1vup	Tell me, was it Paroff?"
hvd.hn1vup	That ends all the treachery you have done thus far, does it not?"
hvd.hn1vup	That is a correct version of 211 THE STEM OF THE CRIMSON DAHLIA your story, is it not?
hvd.hn1vup	That letter, Monsieur?
hvd.hn1vup	That should not be neces- sary; should it?
hvd.hn1vup	That was quite correct, was it not?"
hvd.hn1vup	The Sveti Stefano; do you understand?"
hvd.hn1vup	The ruin must be about the oldest building here, is n't it?
hvd.hn1vup	The slate is clean; and we shall forget that anything was ever written on it — both of us, shall we not?"
hvd.hn1vup	The suggestion flashed across my mind; why not make a dash for it to the vil- lage?
hvd.hn1vup	Then, more seriously, as we sat down:"Wo n't you tell me something about this region?
hvd.hn1vup	To Zemoff?
hvd.hn1vup	Was it Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	Was it not rather the natural act of a woman whose interest in our affairs is both sincere and active?
hvd.hn1vup	Was it she who had you removed?"
hvd.hn1vup	Was that an injury either to him or to me?
hvd.hn1vup	We should live up to our surroundings; do n't you think so?
hvd.hn1vup	We'll sit about until Zemoff gets out of this new scrape and then hit him hard, after all, wo n't we?
hvd.hn1vup	What am I to you but a chance acquaintance?"
hvd.hn1vup	What cared I where we were, anyway?
hvd.hn1vup	What crime have I committed that I should be deported?
hvd.hn1vup	What do you think of it?"
hvd.hn1vup	What has been my crime?
hvd.hn1vup	What has she to do with it?"
hvd.hn1vup	What has that cad, Zemoff, told you?
hvd.hn1vup	What has?"
hvd.hn1vup	What is that man, for instance?"
hvd.hn1vup	What is the matter?"
hvd.hn1vup	What is to become of me?
hvd.hn1vup	What is your own explanation of the affair, Paroff?"
hvd.hn1vup	What made you?
hvd.hn1vup	What particular questions did he ask?
hvd.hn1vup	What sympathy have they with the interests of Bulgaria?
hvd.hn1vup	What's the matter with the Ewings?
hvd.hn1vup	When he lied to me?
hvd.hn1vup	When he would leave me and marry the Miss Ewing, the little Miss Ewing?
hvd.hn1vup	When he would leave me in the dirt?
hvd.hn1vup	When?"
hvd.hn1vup	Where are we to fight?"
hvd.hn1vup	Where else in the world can one see such a sight?
hvd.hn1vup	Where had I heard that name before?
hvd.hn1vup	Where is he?"
hvd.hn1vup	Which is the better example for them?
hvd.hn1vup	Which is your compartment?"
hvd.hn1vup	Who I hear shpeak ze name ze Meesh Ewing?"
hvd.hn1vup	Who are you, anyway, that you know all the political riff- raff of Bulgaria?
hvd.hn1vup	Who told you of the plot?"
hvd.hn1vup	Who was it?"
hvd.hn1vup	Who would have supposed Fenn- Brook such a genius?
hvd.hn1vup	Whom on earth can I get to second me?"
hvd.hn1vup	Why ca n't you give me details?
hvd.hn1vup	Why did n't I count them before?"
hvd.hn1vup	Why did she bring it all the way back here and lose three days when she was within eight hours of its destination?"
hvd.hn1vup	Why should I have tried to deliver it; or, if you will have it so, why should I have pretended to try?
hvd.hn1vup	Why should I?"
hvd.hn1vup	Why should you have believed in me rather than in your associates?
hvd.hn1vup	Why, then, should I have betrayed myself?
hvd.hn1vup	Will Monsieur kindly give me his card?"
hvd.hn1vup	Will the Fraulein not give me that flower in her belt?
hvd.hn1vup	Will you kindly give us your word to make no outcry?"
hvd.hn1vup	Will you lay aside your office for the moment and listen?
hvd.hn1vup	Will you — start to- night?"
hvd.hn1vup	Wo n't you explain a little before I receive any more thanks?"
hvd.hn1vup	Wo n't you let me conceal even a little of my contempt?"
hvd.hn1vup	Wo n't you, Paroff?
hvd.hn1vup	Would he not have noted the discrepancy, had Marie altered its meaning; especially when it sets the date of his own proclamation as King?
hvd.hn1vup	Would her own greater safety not lie in the same course?
hvd.hn1vup	Would you mind telling me, by'yes'or'no,'whether you happen to be engaged to a Bulgarian named Zemoff?"
hvd.hn1vup	Yes, and followed that by the selection of Prince Ferdinand as his successor?"
hvd.hn1vup	Yes, and have I not letters — letters, I say — when he swore that there would be no writing?
hvd.hn1vup	You are not here to spy upon their table manners, are you?
hvd.hn1vup	You are very persistent, are n't you?
hvd.hn1vup	You came back last night, did n't you?
hvd.hn1vup	You delivered the dahlia stem, safely, did you not?
hvd.hn1vup	You do n't mean to tell me that that dirty beggar is Prince Godovi?"
hvd.hn1vup	You do n't, do you?"
hvd.hn1vup	You know her well, perhaps?"
hvd.hn1vup	You know where he is?"
hvd.hn1vup	You ride, do you not?
hvd.hn1vup	You see my face and bandages?
hvd.hn1vup	You will destroy it, now, Monsieur?"
hvd.hn1vup	You will go?
hvd.hn1vup	You will not betray?"
hvd.hn1vup	You will of course come with us, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1vup	You will return — the money?"
hvd.hn1vup	You will stop it?"
hvd.hn1vup	Your rooms or mine?"
hvd.hn1vup	do n't you?"

hvd.hn1vup	number 210?
hvd.32044018083469	- “ What now? ” asked Allerdyke as the three searchers paced dejectedly up the street.
hvd.32044018083469	82 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION “ Heard?
hvd.32044018083469	A curiously in- tricate case. ” “ Any solution of it present itself to your mind? ” asked Allerdyke in his brusque, downright fashion.
hvd.32044018083469	Allerdyke l ’ ’ “ You knew him, then? ” demanded Marshall.
hvd.32044018083469	And I ’m afraid it’s — nothing! ” “ What is it, anyhow? ” asked the chief, with a smile.
hvd.32044018083469	And I ’m inclined to think his theory is correct, eh? ” “ Correct! ” exclaimed Allerdyke, with a grim laugh.
hvd.32044018083469	And as I pointed out to her when she fetched me up, she found this box locked when she went to it — why did n’t the thieves carry it bodily away?
hvd.32044018083469	And if you did not find them when you searched him — where are they?
hvd.32044018083469	And married a Prince? ” “ Twenty- five years ago, ” replied Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	And now we come back to the real, great, anxious ques- tion — Who did it?
hvd.32044018083469	And what I ’d like to know now, IFullaway, is this — what use do you suppose this young fel- low made of the information he acquired?
hvd.32044018083469	And what does that mean?
hvd.32044018083469	And what particular danger was there in sending a very ordi- nary- looking parcel as he did?
hvd.32044018083469	And what time was that? ” “ Ten o’clock, ” said the manager.
hvd.32044018083469	And where d'ye intend to cut in, now, like?
hvd.32044018083469	And — what next? ” Experience and observation of life had taught Marshall Allerdyke that good counsel is one of life ’s most valuable assets.
hvd.32044018083469	As I say — if anybody wanted to steal her jewels, why did n't he pick up this box and carry it bodily off instead of hanging about to pick the lock?
hvd.32044018083469	As I say, what do you make of this?
hvd.32044018083469	Aye — and what might this be that you ’re asking about, now, Mr. Fullaway?
hvd.32044018083469	Burn this when made use of. ’ You see?
hvd.32044018083469	Business? ” exclaimed Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	But I know her as Miss Slade. ” “ Miss? ” ejaculated Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	But how shall we get her address? ” “ There ’s sure to be a Russian Consul in the town, ” suggested Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	But the thing is — is that likely? ” “ No l ’ ’ replied Chettle, with emphatic assurance.
hvd.32044018083469	But was that likely?
hvd.32044018083469	But what ’s to be done?
hvd.32044018083469	But you do n’t mean to say that you travelled all the way to Edinburgh to hand me that I Surely not? ” “ No l ’ ’ replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	But — had there been robbery of another, a bigger, a subtle, and deep- designed sort?
hvd.32044018083469	But — whose?
hvd.32044018083469	Ca n’t we go, please? ” “ One moment, ” said the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	Can I be of use? ” Allerdyke turned sharply, looking the stranger well over.
hvd.32044018083469	Can you give me an address here? ” “ I ’ve a London office, ” answered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Can you make any guess at it, Mr. Allerdyke? ” “ Damn guess- work! ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Can you remember it? ” “ As well as my own, ” answered Gaffney.
hvd.32044018083469	Can you suggest any place? ” he continued, turning to the chauffeur.
hvd.32044018083469	Capital secretary — clever woman — thoroughly trust- worthy! ” “ What do you know about her private life? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Come, now! ” “ Aye, but were they? ’ ’ demanded Delkin, clapping his hands together with a smile of triumphantly suggestive doubt.
hvd.32044018083469	D'you see?
hvd.32044018083469	Dancer, eh?
hvd.32044018083469	Dead!—why, what did he die of? ” The two men looked at each other.
hvd.32044018083469	Did he hand you any receipt for them? ” “ A receipt which I ’ve got here, ” answered the Princess, tapping her hand- bag.
hvd.32044018083469	Did he know where she came from to his house — where she went from his house?
hvd.32044018083469	Did he know you well? ” “ I had known Mr. James Allerdyke for a little over a year, ” replied the Princess.
hvd.32044018083469	Did it get out there, or here? ” 116 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION shireman to talk to! ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	Did n’t you say, ” he went on, turning to Celia, “ that you had some very good tes- timonials with this young woman?
hvd.32044018083469	Did you exchange any correspondence on the matter? ” “ Not a line! ” replied the Princess.
hvd.32044018083469	Did you want to see it again, Mr. Allerdyke? ” “ Finish your drink and come up to my sitting- room, ” said Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Do I gather that the right moment had not actually arrived — for your pur- pose? ” “ You do, ” answered Miss Slade.
hvd.32044018083469	Do you happen to know what time he got in last night? ” he continued, as they went upstairs.
hvd.32044018083469	Do you know of any one likely to buy in one lot?
hvd.32044018083469	Do you think you could get hold of a private motor to- morrow morning?
hvd.32044018083469	Dollars? ” Fullaway laughed derisively.
hvd.32044018083469	Eh! ” “ Well? ” replied Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	Eh? ’ ” Miss Lennard, who was still examining her recovered property, set it hastily down and stared at her visitor.
hvd.32044018083469	For — I’ve an idea. ” “ What? ” demanded Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Fullaway, I suppose? ” he said, phlegmatically.
hvd.32044018083469	Fullaway, Mr. Allerdyke, Full- away! ” “ Well? ” demanded Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Get to know that, and it narrows the field, d’ye see? ” “ There's the question of Miss Lennard's jewels, too, ” remarked Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	Going to solve this difficulty at one blow? ” “ Do n’t be sarcastic, ” retorted Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	Had he ever seen her since?
hvd.32044018083469	Had its owner been into that room recently?
hvd.32044018083469	Had she, in fact, been in the room since James Allerdyke took possession of it on his arrival at the hotel?
hvd.32044018083469	Have n’t you got a key? ” “ Key’ll be inside, sir,”replied the night- porter.
hvd.32044018083469	Have you got it here? ” But Mrs. Marlow shook her head and presented the same unabashed front.
hvd.32044018083469	He must have been tracked all the way, unless — does any unless strike you, now? ” “ Not at the moment, ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	He wants — naturally enough — to save his neck. ” “ Will he? ” growled Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	He was bringing them over here — to me. ” “ On whose behalf? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	He ’d been in London, had n’t he?
hvd.32044018083469	How can we find out when and how he parted with this?
hvd.32044018083469	How does that help?
hvd.32044018083469	How long had it been lying there?
hvd.32044018083469	How long is he likely to be off? ” “ He said he might be back to- morrow night, sir, ” answered Gaffney, glancing at the note.
hvd.32044018083469	How much would he and the others put up for the jewels and my silence?
hvd.32044018083469	How much would he and the others put up for the jewels and my silence?
hvd.32044018083469	How should I hear? ” asked the prima donna.
hvd.32044018083469	How were they to get sixty thousand pounds?
hvd.32044018083469	How?
hvd.32044018083469	I can get a man to go for him at once. ” “ Do I? ’ commanded Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	I daresay she could give a very good reason for all this Hºbut who's got any right to ask her for one?
hvd.32044018083469	I have no doubt from what you have just told me that I know where she is. ” “ Where? ” demanded Celia excitedly.
hvd.32044018083469	I knew him instantly. ” “ And you, M. Bonnechose? ” said the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	I only want to ask you, Mr. Delkin, if you ever talked of this jewel transaction to anybody beyond your own secretary?
hvd.32044018083469	I should say about four hours. ” “ Plenty of petrol in the car? ” asked Allerdyke, turn- ing down the platform.
hvd.32044018083469	I suppose you ’ll take charge of it? ” “ If you please, ” answered the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	I ’m not going to spare time, labour, nor expense in running that lot down, d'you understand?
hvd.32044018083469	If James had brought them, where were they?
hvd.32044018083469	In fact, I warned him. ” “ Warned him?
hvd.32044018083469	Invaluable! ” “ Married woman? ” inquired Allerdyke laconically.
hvd.32044018083469	Is it a sort of Gordian knot affair that you ’re thinking of?
hvd.32044018083469	Is that all clear? ” “ Clear as noonday, sir, ” answered Gaffney.
hvd.32044018083469	Is that correct? ” “ Quite correct — to the letter, ” answered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Is there anything any of you ladies or gentlemen wish to suggest? ” “ Yes! ” said Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	It was nothing but a question of money, I said — how much would they give?
hvd.32044018083469	It was nothing but a question of money, I said — how much would they give?
hvd.32044018083469	It was n’t you who sent me that mysterious message, was it? ” “ What message? ” growled Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	It was n’t you who sent me that mysterious message, was it? ” “ What message? ” growled Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	It's a good notion, Mr. Allerdyke. ” “ What object? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	James Allerdyke's room?
hvd.32044018083469	James show it to you? ” Fullaway nodded towards the door of the outer room, from which came the faint click of the secretary ’s machine.
hvd.32044018083469	Justices?
hvd.32044018083469	Marshall Allerdyke? ” he asked of the new arrival.
hvd.32044018083469	May I look at your album when Mr. Fullaway ’s finished with it? ” Allerdyke left the album with them and went away.
hvd.32044018083469	Meanwhile, I'm going back to Hull for at any rate a few days. ” “ You ’ve still got that watch on you? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Meet her anywhere, sir? ” “ Met her on the road, ” replied Allerdyke laconically.
hvd.32044018083469	Miss Slade is not at home? ” “ She is not! ” replied the manageress emphatically.
hvd.32044018083469	Nice people, eh? ” There was a silence of much significance for a few minutes; then Allerdyke got up from his chair with a growl.
hvd.32044018083469	No mere chance affair, eh? ” “ This sort of thing ’s never done by chance, ” responded the American.
hvd.32044018083469	No more of that l ” “ Aye, but do you understand, Mr. Allerdyke? ” said the detective anxiously.
hvd.32044018083469	Nothing? ” Allerdyke bent across the table, giving his visitor a keen look.
hvd.32044018083469	Now then, what does it refer to?
hvd.32044018083469	Now what may that mean?
hvd.32044018083469	Now you speak of removing him?
hvd.32044018083469	Now, at what time did Mademoiselle announce the loss of her jewels? ” “ Oh, about — say, an hour ago.
hvd.32044018083469	Now, how in creation do you explain this last occurrence? ” Allerdyke laughed cynically.
hvd.32044018083469	Now, then — where's the man who pulled the strings?
hvd.32044018083469	Now, then, can you trust this friend of yours? ” asked Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	Now, then, when does the desired party appear? ” Fullaway unfolded his program and glanced over the items.
hvd.32044018083469	Now, then, where did the secret get out?
hvd.32044018083469	Of course you saw him? ” “ Certainly I saw him, ” replied Celia.
hvd.32044018083469	Of course, you ’ve a list of all the people who came in last night? ” “ They would all register, ” answered the manager.
hvd.32044018083469	Of course, you ’ve come to some conclusion? ” “ Yes, ’ ’ answered Chettle, taking up his glass and silently bowing his acknowledgments.
hvd.32044018083469	Of them facts, sure I am, sir. ’ ’ “ They sat near you, Mrs. Perrigo? ” “ As near, sir, as I am now to that lady.
hvd.32044018083469	Of what? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Oh, I ca n’t think that 2 3 “ Ca n’t you make an effort to remember her address? ” 86 THE SECOND MURDER 87 urged Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	One — Was James Allerdyke really murdered, or did he die a natural death?
hvd.32044018083469	Or shall we keep it all dark for a while?
hvd.32044018083469	Perhaps you gentle- men will accompany Miss Lennard?
hvd.32044018083469	Police- officers?
hvd.32044018083469	R. ” “ What name? ” asked Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	Ramsay, I presume?
hvd.32044018083469	Right — yours, Mr. Fullaway, is the Waldorf Hotel — permanently there?
hvd.32044018083469	See? ” Allerdyke did see.
hvd.32044018083469	See? ” THE POSSIBLE DEATH WARRANT 207 Allerdyke saw.
hvd.32044018083469	See? ” “ I see that — been seeing it all through, ” answered Chettle.
hvd.32044018083469	Shall I fetch it, then? ” “ Do I ’ ” said Allerdyke, curtly.
hvd.32044018083469	She- ” “ What hotel is Mademoiselle de Longarde stopping at, Weiss? ” asked Fullaway quietly.
hvd.32044018083469	Should he tell IFullaway what he knew?
hvd.32044018083469	Similar mes- sage, eh?
hvd.32044018083469	So Fullaway had been out the night before, had he — dining out, and at a theatre?
hvd.32044018083469	So she ’s a famous singer, is she?
hvd.32044018083469	So she's more convinced than ever that the news got out from this side. ” “ And Miss Lennard — what did she want? ” asked Al- lerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	So you took this, Mr. Allerdyke?—took it yourself, you say? ” “ Took it myself, some eight or nine weeks ago, ” an- swered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	So your theory — eh? ” Dr. Orwin had listened to this with deep attention, and he now put two quick questions.
hvd.32044018083469	Strict guard on James's effects — any sealed package — what did that mean?
hvd.32044018083469	Supposing your cousin got an idea that thieves were on his track? — supposing he himself fancied that there was danger in that hotel at Hull?
hvd.32044018083469	Supposing your cousin got an idea that thieves were on his track? — supposing he himself fancied that there was danger in that hotel at Hull?
hvd.32044018083469	THE PRIMA DONNA ’S PORTRAIT 55 Shall we tell him?
hvd.32044018083469	That would be you, I suppose, sir? ” “ Just so, ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	That ’s an awful lot, is n’t it? ” “ Worth trying for, anyway! ” replied Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	That's it, is n’t it, Mrs. Perrigo? ” “ And willing to take my solemn oath of the same when- ever convenient, sir, ” replied Mrs. Perrigo.
hvd.32044018083469	The thing to do is to find — her! ” “ You think she's hooked it? ” said Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Then — how the devil did that photo- graph, which looks to be of my taking, which I ’d swear is of my taking, come to be in Lydenberg's watch?
hvd.32044018083469	They sent for you? ” “ Rang me up in the middle of my breakfast, ” answered Celia.
hvd.32044018083469	They think it im- portant, then? ” “ In the case of the Frenchwoman, yes, ” answered Chet- tle.
hvd.32044018083469	This extraordinary murder- robbery business which is be- coming the talk of the town?
hvd.32044018083469	This is one of ‘ em. ” “ Family Bible? ” inquired Fullaway, eyeing the sol- emnly bound album.
hvd.32044018083469	Those reports, eh?
hvd.32044018083469	Two — Had James Allerdyke those jewels in his possession when he entered that S- Hotel at Hull?
hvd.32044018083469	Want to reach Hull at any particular time, sir? ” “ No, ” answered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Warrants?
hvd.32044018083469	We ’ll see what you think before I decide on anything. ” “ What is it? ” repeated Allerdyke, gazing with interest at the package.
hvd.32044018083469	Well — and then? ” “ Oh, then, of course, I came up to her suite.
hvd.32044018083469	Well — what d'ye make of it?
hvd.32044018083469	What I mean sir, is this — do you want to keep any of this recently acquired knowledge to yourself?
hvd.32044018083469	What brings you, then?
hvd.32044018083469	What do I make out of it, Mr. Appleyard?
hvd.32044018083469	What do you know about that fascinating young woman you have there?
hvd.32044018083469	What do you think of that, gentlemen? ” “ Oddl ” said Appleyard, after a moment's reflective silence.
hvd.32044018083469	What do you think, Mr. Allerdyke? ” “ It ’s a case in which things go slow of sheer necessity, ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	What else could I do?
hvd.32044018083469	What good have they done?
hvd.32044018083469	What good is it at all?
hvd.32044018083469	What is it?
hvd.32044018083469	What number?
hvd.32044018083469	What time did this young man come to the hotel yesterday? ” The landlord turned to his wife with an expressive gesture.
hvd.32044018083469	What time did you have your supper? ” “ Ten o’clock, sir, ” answered Gaffney, with promptitude.
hvd.32044018083469	What time, sir? ’ ’ Appleyard fixed half- past eleven.
hvd.32044018083469	What was she doing in James Allerdyke ’s room?
hvd.32044018083469	What was this woman doing, coming — with evident secrecy — out of one set of rooms, and entering an- other at that late hour?
hvd.32044018083469	What would occur to him but to get rid of his valuable consignment, as we ’ll call it?
hvd.32044018083469	What ’re you going to do, Mr. Allerdyke? ” “ Let ’s have a bit of a relief, ” answered, Allerdyke sud- denly.
hvd.32044018083469	What ’re you going to do? ” 246 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION “ Oh, I do n't know! ” exclaimed Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	What's Mr. Allerdyke think? ” Allerdyke was not going to say what he thought.
hvd.32044018083469	What?
hvd.32044018083469	What? ” “ I do n’t know, ” replied Allerdyke, slowly and doubt- fully.
hvd.32044018083469	Where do you want to get to? ” he went on, turning to the driver of the other car.
hvd.32044018083469	Where is your maid? ” Celia Lennard dropped her knife and fork and sat back, suddenly turning pale.
hvd.32044018083469	Where's that clue likely to be found?
hvd.32044018083469	Where, then? ” “ Lying in the mortuary at Paddington, ” answered the official quietly.
hvd.32044018083469	Which — what? ” “ Tell him under promise of secrecy, ” replied Fullaway after a moment ’s consideration.
hvd.32044018083469	Who is she?
hvd.32044018083469	Who was better able to engineer that than a clever chemist?
hvd.32044018083469	Who was this Princess with whom James had evidently become on such friendly terms that they had lunched and dined together?
hvd.32044018083469	Why not? ” “ No! ” said Appleyard firmly.
hvd.32044018083469	Why — you do n’t say there's been anything: wrong? ” “ I believe my cousin was murdered that night, ” an- swered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	Why, in this, and this only — who knew, person or persons, that my cousin was bringing those jewels from the Princess Nastirsevitch to this country?
hvd.32044018083469	Why?
hvd.32044018083469	Will he keep himself in touch with your warehouse in Gresham Street? ” “ Sure to, ” answered Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	Will you come on at once and meet me?
hvd.32044018083469	Would an object sparkling with diamonds have escaped the eyes of even a careless chambermaid?
hvd.32044018083469	Would it have escaped the keener eyes of James Allerdyke?
hvd.32044018083469	You are a relative? ” “ Cousin, ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	You do n’t think, really, that I was going to run any risks with the genuine articles?
hvd.32044018083469	You ever hear of any of them? ” Miss Slade turned a face of absolute indifference on him and the paper to which he was pointing.
hvd.32044018083469	You gave these immensely valuable jewels to Mr. James Allerdyke?
hvd.32044018083469	You give your attention to your packing, Miss Lennard, and leave the rest to me — you wo n’t mind travelling the night? ” Celia shook her head.
hvd.32044018083469	You go and see him, Mr. Allerdyke — on busi- ness. ” “ I?
hvd.32044018083469	You have n’t seen Fullaway while you've been waiting? ” “ Seen nobody but the hotel folks, ” answered the detec- tive.
hvd.32044018083469	You hear, then — she will not come to sing because her jewels are missing, eh?
hvd.32044018083469	You heard aught? ” “ Nothing particular, ” answered Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	You heard her say that the jewels were in her box at Christiania, and that she never opened the box until this evening here in Edinburgh?
hvd.32044018083469	You know of her, of course?
hvd.32044018083469	You remember that day I went to lunch with you at the City Carlton, and you pointed out this Mrs. Marlow to me, going into Rothschild's?
hvd.32044018083469	You say she sent that wire from the East Strand post office within ten minutes of your leaving her?
hvd.32044018083469	You say you ’ve fresh news? ” Allerdyke lighted a cigar and pushed the box to his guest.
hvd.32044018083469	You say your folks at the Yard are going to fol- 206 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION low up that Perrigo woman's clue?
hvd.32044018083469	You see that entry of Frank Her- man?
hvd.32044018083469	You see what it says?
hvd.32044018083469	You want to hear?
hvd.32044018083469	You ’ll come here to- morrow? ” “ Eleven o’clock in the morning, ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	You ’ve heard of that, of course? ”_- 64 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION rather interesting.
hvd.32044018083469	You ’ve no clue? ” asked Aller- dyke.
hvd.32044018083469	You're figuring on its having been a care- fully concocted scheme?
hvd.32044018083469	You're in no hurry? ” “ A good hour to spare yet, ” replied Chettle.
hvd.32044018083469	You've got her shoe- buckle all safe? ” “ Waistcoat- pocket just now, ” replied Allerdyke lacon- ically.
hvd.32044018083469	You, Mr. Aller- dyke, live in Bradford?
hvd.32044018083469	do you really think she's robbed me, or helped to rob me? ” “ Never mind opinions, ” answered Fullaway curtly.
hvd.32044018083469	into his room to talk to him about? ” “ Business! ” she replied, with a directness which im-- pressed both men.
hvd.32044018083469	why did she call herself Miss Slade at the boarding- house and Mrs. Marlow in her business capacity?
hvd.32044018083469	you do n’t think — oh, you are n’t suggesting that she's the thief?
hvd.32044018083469	— that the robbery did n’t take place here? ” “ Sure! ” answered Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ A Frenchwoman? ” said Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ A lady in a motor- car? ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044018083469	“ According to Merrifield, eh?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Ah you ’ve got a theory of your own, then? ” Chettle laughed quietly as they turned and retraced their steps up the street.
hvd.32044018083469	“ And I think she did not return home last night? ” suggested the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	“ And for coming by yourself — that was just what I wanted. ” “ Aye, and why? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ And yet why should n’t she? ” asked Appleyard of himself.
hvd.32044018083469	“ And — the result? ” asked Allerdyke eagerly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ And — what then? ” “ Why, it ’ll probably upset the whole bag of tricks! ” ex- claimed Chettle.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Anything wrong? ” he asked, advancing towards them in his pyjamas.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Asking his expert advice? ” “ I ’ve told him no more than what he could read for him- self in the newspapers, ” answered Delkin.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Aught else? ” “ Naught — at present.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Been away since yesterday, eh? ” he said, after warm greetings.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Been telling Mr. Chilverton about our business, Mr. Delkin? ” asked Fullaway pleasantly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Big or little? ” “ The little fellow with the spectacles, ” replied Fulla- way.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Business with Rothschild ’s, eh? ” mused Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ But look here — you're not going back to town to- night? ” “ Why, that ’s just what I meant to do, ” replied Aller- dyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ But — this confession? ” “ Very well, ” responded the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Can I give you any advice? ” asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Clue?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Dead certain l ’ ’ “ Well? ” said Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Did I actually print more than four copies of that thing?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Did you have a lady set off from here in the middle of the night? ” he asked, out of sheer curiosity.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Did you see anything of my cousin when he arrived last night? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Did your maid ever go out in the after- noons about that time? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Do you know what I think of all this business?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Do you recognize him? ” The café- keeper, who had been making inarticulate murmurs of surprise and grief, nodded.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Doing good business, I reckon? ” he said, with true Yorkshire curiosity.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Fifty thousand 1 ” “ How could any one try unless he or she's some clue? ” she asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Found it out within---, 176 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION “ When did you find that out? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Gaffney, ” he said as he carefully closed the door on them, “ you ’re a Londoner, are n’t you? ” Gaffney smiled widely.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Have a drink while we ’re waiting? ” he suggested, beckoning a waiter who was passing.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Have you heard all this about my cousin James? ” he asked with sharp directness.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Heard nothing from the police authorities? ” “ Nothing, ” replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Home? ” “ Aye, I ’ve been down to Yorkshire, ” responded Aller- dyke offhandedly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ How do we know where to find this woman in Edinburgh?
hvd.32044018083469	“ How many, Mr. Allerdyke?
hvd.32044018083469	“ How many, now? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ How much does this represent in ours, now? ” “ I can tell you that, ” said Fullaway, taking the wad of notes and rapidly counting them.
hvd.32044018083469	“ How soon can you lay hands on that brother of yours? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Hull? ” he replied.
hvd.32044018083469	“ I do n’t know her ad- dress — how should I?
hvd.32044018083469	“ I suppose you have noth- THE PACKET IN THE SAFE 267 ing of Miss Slade's? ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ I suppose you ’d a fair lot of people come in last night from that Christiania boat? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ I was in the office, and I booked him and gave him his room—27. ” “ Was he alone? ” “ Quite alone.
hvd.32044018083469	“ I wonder which print it was that he gave you? ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ If you only knew —?
hvd.32044018083469	“ If you will leave your im- Iportant papers lying about, as this lady says you ’re in the Habit of doing, what do you expect?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Is he a chap of common sense? ” “ It ’s my own brother, ” replied Gaffney.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Is it any good? ” “ Maybe, ” replied Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Is my blessed memory going wrong? ” he said to him- self.
hvd.32044018083469	“ It ’s a little early for that, is n’t it? ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ James| James, by all that's holy — and in there! ” “ You recognize it, of course? ” said Chettle, with a grim smile.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Just so I How much do I know of any of'em?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Name of Chettle, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Never seen it before, I suppose? ” “ No l ’ ’ replied Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ News? ” he asked excitedly, when Mrs. Marlow had re- tired, closing the door again.
hvd.32044018083469	“ News? ” he said, with a half- laugh.
hvd.32044018083469	“ No doubt of it, eh? ” “ Doubt I Recognize! ” exclaimed Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ No- certainly not. ” “ Nor when you were on the steamer? ” “ No- nor at any time, ” she said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Nothing confined to your care, eh? ” The manageress glanced at her husband, with whom she had kept up a whispered conversation.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Nothing less! ” “ What valuables are they? ’ ’ asked Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Nothing more than you would have expected to find?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Now, according to you, that'ud be not so very long after you took that snapshot of your cousin?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Now, how did he seem at that time?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Now, ma'am, ” said the chief, “ your husband the man- ager is out, and you are in sole and responsible charge, I understand?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Now, then, do you know Lancaster Gate? ” “ Do I know St. Paul ’s? ’ exclaimed Gaffney, half- de- risively.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Now, then, do you know Lancaster Gate? ” “ Do I know St. Paul ’s? ’ exclaimed Gaffney, half- de- risively.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Now, ” he said, motioning her to drink, “ you know your maid ’s name and address, do n’t you?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Of course, what about her? ” “ She ’s just gone into Rothschild's across there, ” answered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Of- whatever are you talking about, Mr. Allerdyke? ” THE ALLERDYKE WAY 303 table.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Off somewhere, eh? ” “ Spent the evening out, ” answered Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Royalty, eh? ” “ No, ” answered Fullaway, with a smile.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Seem?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Self- administered, do you mean? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Shot dead — High Street — this morning? ” he said wonderingly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Since you left me this morning? ” “ Found it out this afternoon, ” replied Allerdyke, with something of triumph.
hvd.32044018083469	“ So I ’d a quiet evening. ” “ No news, I suppose? ” asked Fullaway, going vigor- ously forward with his breakfast.
hvd.32044018083469	“ So unless What? ” “ Unless the thieves — and murderers — were waiting there in Hull for his arrival, ” said Fullaway quietly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ So you ’re here, too, eh, Allerdyke?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Something happened? ” he asked, nodding to Aller- dyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Take care that some of the brass sticks when you handle it, no doubt? ”- “ Commission and percentage, of course, ” responded Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ That ’s about it, eh? ” Chettle laughed — a sly, suggestive laugh.
hvd.32044018083469	“ That ’s not much, eh? ” “ You must find that woman and produce her at the inquest, ” said the doctor.
hvd.32044018083469	“ That ’s quite true. ”** Was that unusual? ” asked the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	“ The value of these things was great? ” “ Relatively, very great, ” answered Allerdyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Then I daresay you know the Pompadour Private Hotel? ” “ As well as I know my own fingers, ” responded Gaffney.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Then you are making it out to be murder? ” he ex- claimed sulkily.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Then you think he died a natural death? ” he asked, suddenly turning on his companion.
hvd.32044018083469	“ There is?
hvd.32044018083469	“ There she is l See?
hvd.32044018083469	“ There's Delkin, in his car, ” he exclaimed, “ and, great Scott, there's our Princess with him — Nastirsevitch But who's the other man?
hvd.32044018083469	“ This advice, then? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Town on fire? ” “ Van Koon, sit down, ” commanded Fullaway, pushing his compatriot into the inner room.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Very far? ” “ Less than an hour's run, ” master.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Was it late? ” “ Passengers from the Perisco, sir? ” answered the night- porter.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Was it late? ” “ Passengers from the Perisco, sir? ” answered the night- porter.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Was she a foreigner, do you know? ” “ I should n't wonder if she was something of that sort, ” answered the night- porter.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well, I wonder if he and Miss Slade, alias Mrs. Marlow, knew each other at all — outside business?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well, what was seen of him during the evening? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well? ” asked the chief presently.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well? ” said Allerdyke, after a silence that was full of meaning—“well? ” “ Take some thinking about, ” answered Appleyard tersely.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Well? ” said Allerdyke, after a silence that was full of meaning—“well? ” “ Take some thinking about, ” answered Appleyard tersely.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Were they?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What I want to know is — has she seen them, and when, and where, and under what circumstances?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What are we going to be treated to now?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What are you going to do about the next step, now? ” “ Try to find out who made that reproduction, ” replied Allerdyke bluntly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What brings you here?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What can we do until we know that? ” Celia drew her fine eyebrows together in a palpable effort to think.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What d'you mean? ” Chettle chuckled knowingly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What do you want me to do? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What is it now, Mad- emoiselle?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What is it — im- portant? ” The detective, who looked very solemn, drew a letter- case from his pocket, and slowly produced a telegram.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What is it, Gaffney? ” he asked, letting down his own.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What is it? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What on earth are you talking about?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What on earth d'ye make out of it all? ” asked Aller- dyke.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What references? ” “ Good business references! ” answered Fullaway excit- edly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What sort of business? ” “ He ’s an inventor's agent, ” replied Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What the deuce has the woman ’s private life to do with me? ” snapped Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What then?
hvd.32044018083469	“ What would you have expected to find if you ’d found him as I found him? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What ’s been done? ” “ It ’s all right, ” answered Chettle.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What's it run to, like? ” “ Seventy- five thousand, ” answered Appleyard.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What's it run to, now? ” 108 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION Fullaway showed his fine white teeth in a genial laugh.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What's it to be? ” 236 THE RAYNER- SLADE AMALGAMATION- “ Oh — something small, then, ” said Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ What?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Which of'em is Delkin, then? ” asked Allerdyke as the automobile swept into the courtyard.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Who is this Princess Nastirsevitch? ” he asked sud- denly looking up.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Why by my- self?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Why did n’t you tell me at once about the parcel? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Why did you leave the hotel at Hull so suddenly? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Why — that means, of course, in broad daylight — in a busy street, I suppose?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Why — why — you do n’t mean to say that box has my pearls in it?
hvd.32044018083469	“ Yes? ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ Yes? ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You can, of course, describe your maid? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You do n’t know, then, that your cousin had valuables on him? ” he asked in an altered tone.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You do n’t think it ’s been a case of poisoning, do you? ” he said.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You do n’t think there's — anything wrong? ”- The doctor shook his head calmly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You followed it, then? ” he asked.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You have n’t heard of that Mr. Allerdyke since you left him at Hull, then? ” he asked, gazing intently at their hostess.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You have something? ” “ A small parcel, ” admitted the manageress, “ which she gave me a few days ago to lock up in our safe.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You hear what he says?
hvd.32044018083469	“ You know that district well, do n't you? ” “ Tell you the very spot, sir, ” answered Gaffney promptly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You know what I mean? ” Gaffney's shrewd face grew shrewder, and he nodded knowingly.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You know?
hvd.32044018083469	“ You really think this young woman has lost her jewels? ” “ Oh, no doubt, no doubt at all, ” replied Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You see how things are?
hvd.32044018083469	“ You think he had them on him? ” “ I ’m sure he had them on him! ” asserted Fullaway.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You think you may find something — there? ” “ There ’s enough evidence to justify a search, ” an- swered the chief.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You ’re dead sure it's no use stopping here?
hvd.32044018083469	“ You ’ve a Mr. James Allerdyke stopping here I think? ” he went on.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You ’ve seen about this tremendous reward that ’s being offered in Mr. James Allerdyke's case? ” he asked, with another sharp look.
hvd.32044018083469	“ You ’ve seen it before, then?
hvd.hn5fcw	And you, Yuan Kee, where do you want to go?
hvd.hn5fcw	And you, my friend, what are you? ” The voice of the Goanese was proud and sharp- defiant. hvd.hn5fcw Arab, is it not?
hvd.hn5fcw	Beautiful, are they not? ” he beamed at me. hvd.hn5fcw But what can we do?
hvd.hn5fcw	But- but suppose he talks? hvd.hn5fcw Did you see him?
hvd.hn5fcw	Have I your permission to examine the screen? hvd.hn5fcw Have you weapons?
hvd.hn5fcw	He“ Who?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Home? hvd.hn5fcw Home?
hvd.hn5fcw	I cry for help? hvd.hn5fcw I have also been told that — may I make a little pun in 66 THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU vas your own language?
hvd.hn5fcw	Is treachery ac- claimed as a virtue among the black tents of your tribe? hvd.hn5fcw Mascasenhas, do n't you remember Paris?
hvd.hn5fcw	Murdering? hvd.hn5fcw Nerves in working shape? ” I inquired as the Goanese swung himself down the rope ladder.
hvd.hn5fcw	No incense American gentleman- white- same as you — see? ” I ca n't exactly swear that I believed that pocket- piece of nascent Yellow Peril. hvd.hn5fcw Or because of the things we are going to do? ” A moment's pause as I drew a sharp breath of surprise.
hvd.hn5fcw	The end of the chapter, eh? hvd.hn5fcw We looked for a safe place of refuge, for an asylum, and we found"“ What, master? ” “ Yes — what?"
hvd.hn5fcw	We looked for a safe place of refuge, for an asylum, and we found“ What, master? ” “ Yes — what?"
hvd.hn5fcw	What happened? hvd.hn5fcw What is it, Mascasenhas? ” My voice sounded hollow and unreal.
hvd.hn5fcw	What luck?
hvd.hn5fcw	What's all this damned tommyrot, Mascasen- has? hvd.hn5fcw What's the matter Mascasenhas?"
hvd.hn5fcw	When can you go, Van? ” “ To- morrow. hvd.hn5fcw Where are thy manners, O he- goat, son of a burnt father? ” I shouted, speaking in his native dialect.
hvd.hn5fcw	Where to?
hvd.hn5fcw	Where? ”A prison, ” he replied.
hvd.hn5fcw	Will the barking of a dog reach the high skies of Allah's heaven? hvd.hn5fcw Would you measure your puny strength against the strength of Asia, the mother?
hvd.hn5fcw	You do not laugh? hvd.hn5fcw You mean it?"
hvd.hn5fcw	You remember Hussain Khan? hvd.hn5fcw You take an interest in us because of the things we have done? ” There was a sudden quiver in the corners of his lips as of a high- eddying flame.
hvd.hn5fcw	Your friend? hvd.hn5fcw 'To- Hong- Kong? ” “ Right- o. ” Again he asked:To Hong- Kong — to Asia,"And his voice was pregnant with a moody un- easiness.
hvd.hn5fcw	A European?
hvd.hn5fcw	Ah, sahib, what does a blind man want but his two eyes?
hvd.hn5fcw	All clear so far, is n't it?
hvd.hn5fcw	And dost thou remember the Sanskrit words graven on the pedestal?
hvd.hn5fcw	And there are Aroyos in Goa — they own land and houses — they pay taxes, eh? ” Suddenly he shout- ed at the top of his lungs:"Begone, O He!
hvd.hn5fcw	And when I asked a categorical"How?"
hvd.hn5fcw	And why lepers to do the work? ” Mascasenhas looked straight at me.
hvd.hn5fcw	And win?
hvd.hn5fcw	Are you going to murder me in cold blood?
hvd.hn5fcw	But did it hold me any the less?
hvd.hn5fcw	But how could I save him?
hvd.hn5fcw	But in killing him you have killed only the least of the great god's ser- vants- only the least of his servants. ” Only the least of his servants?
hvd.hn5fcw	But tell me will the priests believe him?
hvd.hn5fcw	But tell me, what were they doing?
hvd.hn5fcw	But tell me: how long did it take you?
hvd.hn5fcw	But was I?
hvd.hn5fcw	But was he a Manchu?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what can a pig do with a rose- bottle?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what can we do?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what did Yuan Kee mean by his cryptic allusion?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what of Vandewater?'
hvd.hn5fcw	But what of it?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what of it?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what of it?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what of it?
hvd.hn5fcw	But what of it?"
hvd.hn5fcw	But what was he doing there in the dark?
hvd.hn5fcw	But where can we go once we make Hong- Kong, even if we escape the net he is drawing around us, for a day or a week?
hvd.hn5fcw	By what fire is it kindled?
hvd.hn5fcw	Can it be that you harbor black thoughts against me in your heart?
hvd.hn5fcw	Can it ever be home to you or to me?
hvd.hn5fcw	Can it then be that you do not understand our simple Oriental jests?
hvd.hn5fcw	Can they believe him?
hvd.hn5fcw	Can you feel the icy hand of Az- rael, the black- winged angel of death?
hvd.hn5fcw	Can you not an- swer?
hvd.hn5fcw	Clever of mo, what?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Coincidence?
hvd.hn5fcw	Danger?
hvd.hn5fcw	Did not your own life often hang by a single thread?
hvd.hn5fcw	Did you say home?
hvd.hn5fcw	Do we of China murder the honored guests of our houses?
hvd.hn5fcw	Do you not think that funny?
hvd.hn5fcw	Does the fire pass from the lotus flower up to the aureole above the Buddha's head?
hvd.hn5fcw	Dost thou remember how thou didst explain to me the miracles of the Lord Buddha?
hvd.hn5fcw	Dost thou remember how together we looked at the second tablet; how we meditated on the Sakyamuni, the flaming aureole, and the sacred lotus flower?
hvd.hn5fcw	For can there be a safer guard in all the world than leprosy?
hvd.hn5fcw	For who can inter- fere with what fate has written on the foreheads of all of us?
hvd.hn5fcw	For, with Hussain Khan in his grave, what was there to fear?
hvd.hn5fcw	Get the parallel with the three holy blighters in this picture?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Good Lord, was it possible?
hvd.hn5fcw	Had I really seen it?
hvd.hn5fcw	Has the slave put too much of the hasheesh cake in your morning's pipe?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Have you been dreaming?
hvd.hn5fcw	He said that a dead horse can not eat grass, and that THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU 279 was the real Mascasenhas, and not the Babu Up- endranath Chucker- jee?
hvd.hn5fcw	He spoke slowly, with a light laugh:"Are these Arab manners, Shaykh?
hvd.hn5fcw	How do you know? ” The Raja put both his hands on my shoulders.
hvd.hn5fcw	I ask--what are they guarding? ”"Guarding? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5fcw	I ask--what are they guarding? ”"Guarding? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5fcw	I have lived up to it, have I not?
hvd.hn5fcw	I know. ”"But how do you know?
hvd.hn5fcw	I remain, eh? ” Stepping up to the opposite wall, he drew aside a heavy purple curtain which had been draping it.
hvd.hn5fcw	I spoke instinctively, without thinking:"What's that scarlet mark on your forehead, Mascasenhas? ” The Goanese looked at me.
hvd.hn5fcw	If a jackal howls in the distance, will my old buf- falo die? ” He paused, then continued very gent- ly:"Pray!
hvd.hn5fcw	If the naked dance can they tear their clothes?
hvd.hn5fcw	In Washington- or here, under my own roof?
hvd.hn5fcw	In that monastery a Mi- Lei- Fo faces the outer uvur, dost thou remember?
hvd.hn5fcw	Is it not THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU 125 so?
hvd.hn5fcw	Is that understood?
hvd.hn5fcw	Is, then, our faith, our birth, and our death even as the mystery of the Buddha's flame?
hvd.hn5fcw	It must run underneath our very feet. ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hn5fcw	It was like a human voice speaking- of what?
hvd.hn5fcw	Murdering?
hvd.hn5fcw	Must I explain the point?
hvd.hn5fcw	No?
hvd.hn5fcw	No?
hvd.hn5fcw	No?
hvd.hn5fcw	Only I change it — the least little bit, eh?
hvd.hn5fcw	Rapidly, feverishly, I asked him who had done it — when, why, how?
hvd.hn5fcw	Red smudge?
hvd.hn5fcw	Should I go in?
hvd.hn5fcw	Should I open it?
hvd.hn5fcw	So you have come to visit us in our worthless home?
hvd.hn5fcw	THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU 141 home to you?
hvd.hn5fcw	THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU 31 Where, then, was the leak?
hvd.hn5fcw	THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU"You take an interest in China? ”"I do, indeed. ”"Ah, that is flattering to us — very flattering."
hvd.hn5fcw	Tell him that you will meet him there at eleven o'clock sharp. ”"And you? ” I laughed.
hvd.hn5fcw	Tell me, will a dead horse eat grass?
hvd.hn5fcw	The blue- eyed Manchu?
hvd.hn5fcw	Then he continued with a gentle voice:"Is it, perhaps, that you blame me?
hvd.hn5fcw	To acquire merit by helping the enemy?
hvd.hn5fcw	To be quenched?
hvd.hn5fcw	To save?
hvd.hn5fcw	Vandewater?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Was Mascasenhas a traitor?
hvd.hn5fcw	Was he playing false?
hvd.hn5fcw	Was it a coincidence?
hvd.hn5fcw	Was it an easy matter?
hvd.hn5fcw	Was it possible?
hvd.hn5fcw	What are you doing there? ”.
hvd.hn5fcw	What could he be doing there in the dark?
hvd.hn5fcw	What did I expect to see?
hvd.hn5fcw	What did it all mean?
hvd.hn5fcw	What did it portend?
hvd.hn5fcw	What do you mean by assaulting me?"
hvd.hn5fcw	What do you mean by dressing up in these confounded heathenish masquerade clothes?
hvd.hn5fcw	What does a prisoner want but his liberty?
hvd.hn5fcw	What happened? ” Mascasenhas bowed.
hvd.hn5fcw	What if the little hamlet where I lived was grey and drab and prosaic?
hvd.hn5fcw	What in the name of Satan himself do you mean?
hvd.hn5fcw	What is in the boxes and bundles?
hvd.hn5fcw	What matters it?
hvd.hn5fcw	What odds?
hvd.hn5fcw	What of it?
hvd.hn5fcw	What then can we do, since both Kowloon and Hong- Kong are barred?
hvd.hn5fcw	What was the connection between Doorgha and this present intrigue- between Yuan Kee and the One Man I wished to find and kill?
hvd.hn5fcw	What we'd do once we reached Macao?
hvd.hn5fcw	What were they to me henceforth?
hvd.hn5fcw	What will not a goat eat or a fool say?
hvd.hn5fcw	What would you do for me? ” He fell at my feet and kissed my hands.
hvd.hn5fcw	What you mean by that, eh?
hvd.hn5fcw	What's the matter with you?
hvd.hn5fcw	What's the meaning of your enigmatic warning? ” I asked him sternly.
hvd.hn5fcw	What's the medicine?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Who is it? ”"I saw. ” The Goanese shook with awe.
hvd.hn5fcw	Who was the fool, and who was the buffalo?
hvd.hn5fcw	Who was this blue- eyed Manchu?
hvd.hn5fcw	Why do you talk, talk, talk?
hvd.hn5fcw	Why in the name of Satan ca n't you answer? ” But there was no sound.
hvd.hn5fcw	Why not?
hvd.hn5fcw	Why should n't I?
hvd.hn5fcw	Why the speed and THE BLUE- EYED MANCHU 175 hürry?
hvd.hn5fcw	Why your excitement, primitive son of the desert?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Will a crow become a swan by bath- ing in the Ganges?
hvd.hn5fcw	Will the cock who has gone from home for four days return as a peacock?
hvd.hn5fcw	Will you bind yourself by a solemn oath?"
hvd.hn5fcw	Wot d'yer mean bumpin'into gents wot's wearin'the king's coat?
hvd.hn5fcw	Would we win?
hvd.hn5fcw	Would you help me?
hvd.hn5fcw	Would you sound the ocean with a jackal's tail?
hvd.hn5fcw	Yes? ” He hesitated and paused.
hvd.hn5fcw	You have been there?
hvd.hn5fcw	You know?
hvd.hn5fcw	You look surprised?
hvd.hn5fcw	“ A white man, are you- a Christian?
hvd.hn5fcw	“ It is her the Rana of Oodeypore- Oodeypore himself. ”"Oodeypore? ” I gave a gasp of incredulous sur- prise.
hvd.hn5fcw	“ Look here, captain- eh — what name did you say? ” The captain sputtered again.
hvd.hn5fcw	“ Then why do the other whites here ostracize you?
hvd.hn5fcw	“ They will kill him, then? ”"Yes; and I will tell you how they will kill him.
hvd.hn5fcw	“ What do you mean? ”"Nothing.
hvd.hn5fcw	“ What what do you mean? ”.
hvd.hn5fcw	“ What you mean by holding up my ship and spoiling my run?
hvd.hn5fcw	“ What's all this nonsense about?
hvd.hn5fcw	“ Why?"
hvd.hn5fcw	“ Yuan Kee?
hvd.hn5fcw	“ Yuan Kee? ” I shouted.
hvd.hn5fcw	“'You a white man?'
hvd.hn1e8p	A home in America,said Paul,"and why?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Aaron Norman's murder,he said,"what do you know of that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Ah,said Deborah, significantly,"what indeed?
hvd.hn1e8p	Ai n't I a- doin'as my master tells me? hvd.hn1e8p And Jessop?"
hvd.hn1e8p	And am I not his true daughter?
hvd.hn1e8p	And the opal serpent?
hvd.hn1e8p	And what do gutter Trays want with books?
hvd.hn1e8p	And what do you intend to marry on?
hvd.hn1e8p	And who have a better right, sir? hvd.hn1e8p And who have the broader shoulders, you or me, my flower?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Are you, Deborah?
hvd.hn1e8p	But I should like to know if there will be any difficulty in proving it?
hvd.hn1e8p	But he was n't on the spot?
hvd.hn1e8p	But how did Jessop get the brooch?
hvd.hn1e8p	But how did he get money to start as a book- seller? hvd.hn1e8p But now that business is ended and you know what you are to do, will you tell me plainly why you warned me against Grexon Hay?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But she was n't married to Krill at Stowley?
hvd.hn1e8p	But tell me — “ Wot my pore angel sunbeam said? hvd.hn1e8p But the money?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But what about this brooch you say is the cause of it all?
hvd.hn1e8p	But what do you know of Hay?
hvd.hn1e8p	But who warned you of the death when you were waiting?
hvd.hn1e8p	But why did he run away?
hvd.hn1e8p	But why did he want the brooch?
hvd.hn1e8p	But you ca n't be certain?
hvd.hn1e8p	But your Dulcinea?
hvd.hn1e8p	By the way, do you know that Norman was a secret drinker of brandy?
hvd.hn1e8p	By violence?
hvd.hn1e8p	By you?
hvd.hn1e8p	Ca n't I go up to Miss Norman?
hvd.hn1e8p	Ca n't I see her in the cellar?
hvd.hn1e8p	Can I help you?
hvd.hn1e8p	Deborah, what do you mean?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did Lady Rachel recover her senses?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did he mention the opal brooch again?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did his wife tell you?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did she go up and see him?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did she know who the lady was?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did they ever visit Mr. Hay in July?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did you come to tell me that?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did you sell the brooch?
hvd.hn1e8p	Did you tell your mother you had shown it to me?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do I carry my character in my face?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do n't tell your mother that my father fainted. ” “ Why not? hvd.hn1e8p Do you know Christchurch in Hants?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you know anything of that brooch?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you know anything yourself?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you know him? ”. hvd.hn1e8p Do you know if any gent of that name lives here, guvnor?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you know why he changed his name?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you mean to accuse me?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you remember that opal brooch I showed you?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you speak French well?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you swear you left Aaron Norman alive?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you think I come here unprepared?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you think I would speak so openly in order that you might tell all the world with your gabbling tongue? hvd.hn1e8p Do you think Krill murdered the woman?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you think Miss Krill is the dead man's child?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you think Mrs. Krill had anything to do with it?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you think he is guilty? hvd.hn1e8p Do you think, sir, as I'd ha'25 The Opal Serpent let you come loving my pretty one and me not knowing if you was Judas or Jezebel?
hvd.hn1e8p	Do you want to put me in a glass case when we marry? hvd.hn1e8p Do you wish my daughter to stay?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Does n't your mistress know?
hvd.hn1e8p	Does that make any difference?
hvd.hn1e8p	Good heavens, madam,cried Beecot, his face turning white, “ what do you mean?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Got a form?
hvd.hn1e8p	Has he explained why he fainted?
hvd.hn1e8p	Have you enough money to pay a year's rent?
hvd.hn1e8p	Have you found out anything, Aurora?
hvd.hn1e8p	Have you never heard of it before?
hvd.hn1e8p	How can you expect to when you know the brooch was used to seal the dead man's lips?
hvd.hn1e8p	How could it,said Pash, testily,"when the man never expected to be murdered?"
hvd.hn1e8p	How dare you come here with these false- hoods?
hvd.hn1e8p	How did you know where to find him?
hvd.hn1e8p	How do you know I go to church?
hvd.hn1e8p	How do you know Mr. Beecot's name?
hvd.hn1e8p	How do you know both things?
hvd.hn1e8p	How do you know my name?

hvd.hn1e8p	How many are there?
hvd.hn1e8p	How old does Norman say she was?
hvd.hn1e8p	How old was the daughter?
hvd.hn1e8p	How so?
hvd.hn1e8p	Hum,said the detective, looking at Paul with keen eyes,"what do you know about him, sir?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I al- ways fancied the meeting at Pash's office was a got- up thing what made hen disguisemiss Krill the “ What made you think so?
hvd.hn1e8p	I hope you do n't go telling everyone that I am your brother, Aurora?
hvd.hn1e8p	I know what they say, but I want to know what you say?
hvd.hn1e8p	I know,interrupted Aurora, glancing at the clock, “ do n't waste time in talking of Lady Rachel Sandal's death —""How do you know about that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I say,said Lord George suddenly, and waking from a brown study,"who is Mrs. Krill?
hvd.hn1e8p	I suppose your ladies sometimes went to see this gent in town? ”. hvd.hn1e8p I wonder if Mrs. Krill murdered her husband in that cruel way,"thought the detective, sitting over his tea;"but what could have been her object?
hvd.hn1e8p	I'm not sure I ca n't say — I did miss the brooch —“ After Mrs. Krill left?"
hvd.hn1e8p	If I make a clean breast will you let me cut? hvd.hn1e8p If it was,"said Hay, with quivering lips,"why did n't you denounce me then and there?"
hvd.hn1e8p	If that is so, Grexon, why did you let me slip out of your life? hvd.hn1e8p In a looking- glarse?"
hvd.hn1e8p	In which Norman warned Sylvia against allowing his real name to become known? hvd.hn1e8p Is Stowley near her old home?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Is that the reason?
hvd.hn1e8p	Is there a will? hvd.hn1e8p Is there any need for me to explain?"
hvd.hn1e8p	It's all right, is n't it?
hvd.hn1e8p	Krill was a judge of jewels?
hvd.hn1e8p	Lady Rachel Sandal's?
hvd.hn1e8p	Lord George to you now, you blackguard; and how can you pay me the money when I know you have n't got a cent? ”. hvd.hn1e8p Lost, Paul?
hvd.hn1e8p	Mr. Norman,said Beecot, gravely,"what is the story connected with the brooch?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Murder or suicide?
hvd.hn1e8p	No bad news I hope?.
hvd.hn1e8p	No bad news, I hope?
hvd.hn1e8p	Norman's murder?
hvd.hn1e8p	Now, then, where did you get that brooch? hvd.hn1e8p Of course,"said Paul, angrily;"do you think I'm a brute?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh, Debby, you do n't think there's anything wrong with father?
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh, my love, do you really think of me?
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh, she was — What do you mean? ” asked Pash, breaking off, and conscious that he was letting slip something he had rather had not been known. hvd.hn1e8p Oh, where is my father?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh, wo n't it? hvd.hn1e8p Oh, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh,laughed Beecot,"and you think your father was strangled by a Thug?
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh,said Grexon, suddenly enlightened, “ were you the boy?
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh,said Pash, coolly,"have you come to re- proach me with that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh,said he, dryly, “ the night the crime was committed, you mean?
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh,said he, with a world of meaning,"so Mr. Grexon Hay was with you?
hvd.hn1e8p	On the same evening?
hvd.hn1e8p	Saw what?
hvd.hn1e8p	So you worship Bhowanee?
hvd.hn1e8p	Sylvia, does your father drink alcohol?
hvd.hn1e8p	That brooch,said Aaron, in a timid whisper,"have you got it?
hvd.hn1e8p	The question is,said Mr. Pash, who had been reflecting, and now reproduced the will from his pocket,"as to the name?"
hvd.hn1e8p	The will or what was called a will, gave the money to Sylvia,said Aurora, emphatically;"but this brooch — you did n't take it?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Then he expected a visit from his wife?
hvd.hn1e8p	There's a nice ole party fur you, Miss Sylvia?
hvd.hn1e8p	To whom?
hvd.hn1e8p	To- night?
hvd.hn1e8p	Was he ever down here, this gentleman?
hvd.hn1e8p	Was she really murdered? hvd.hn1e8p We'll see about that later, Mr. Pash,"he said, soothingly;"meanwhile, what did you do with the brooch?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Well, Count,said Beecot, laughing,"what can I do for you?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Well, Mr. Beecot, what can I do for you?
hvd.hn1e8p	Well, what did you get on it? hvd.hn1e8p Well, you wo n't sell it to me? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	Well,said Beecot, thinking he might say a word in season to this young fool, “ I do n't gamble. ”: “ Oh, you cry down that, do you?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Well,said Paul, rather impatiently,"never mind about that fellow just now, but tell me what you have discovered fellow hul rather do so..?!
hvd.hn1e8p	Well?
hvd.hn1e8p	What about Hay?
hvd.hn1e8p	What about the change of name? ” 109 The Opal Serpent “ Ah yes!
hvd.hn1e8p	What about?

hvd.hn1e8p	What are you making that noise for?

hvd.hn1e8p	Why do you want to know? hvd.hn1e8p Why not?
hvd.hn1e8p	Why should Aaron Norman faint when he saw it?
hvd.hn1e8p	Why, bless you, Mr. Pash, could I let my sunbeam marry a man as was n't all there,'eart of gold though he may have? hvd.hn1e8p Why?
hvd.hn1e8p	Will you call yourself Krill or Norman, Miss Sylvia?

hvd.hn1e8p	Beecot?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Besides, why should I steal that opal serpent brooch?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Between six and seven did any other client come into the office?
hvd.hn1e8p	But Hay?_ ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	But did n't he connect Mrs. Krill with the man who died in Gwynne Street? ” 197 The Opal Serpent “ No.
hvd.hn1e8p	But he hints that Mrs. Krill killed her. ” “ Can he prove that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But if there's a row, where do I come in?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But now"he spoke a tone higher in a shrill sort of way and with a foreign accent —"vould you me discover, mon ami?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But those other ladies?
hvd.hn1e8p	But what of that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But what's he got to do with Lemuel Krill?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But whatever it is, Mr. Beecot, it's something wicked, and shall I see my own pretty in trouble?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But who told Mrs. Krill about him?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But why did you pretend to meet Mrs. Krill and her daughter for the first time at Pash's?"
hvd.hn1e8p	But why should a fellow like that talk the shibboleth of Society?"
hvd.hn1e8p	By the way her age?"
hvd.hn1e8p	By the way, I suppose the brooch made you stick to Beecot?"
hvd.hn1e8p	By the way, can you describe the fellow?"
hvd.hn1e8p	By the way, is your old schoolfellow as friendly as ever?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Clean, eh?"
hvd.hn1e8p	D'y see? ” 75 A Noise in the Night dlin'that brat, jus'as he wos when Mr. Beecot was smashed."

hvd.hn1e8p	Did n't he tell you when he returned, Sylvia?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Did n't you and me pull him from under the wheels?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Did n't you wonder how the brooch had left the pawnshop?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Did you make Tupounee after you used your roomal on Aaron Norman?"

hvd.hn1e8p	Hay?"
hvd.hn1e8p	He is watching over us, and, knowing that, why need we fear?

hvd.hn1e8p	How can I serve you?"
hvd.hn1e8p	How dare you disgrace your family?
hvd.hn1e8p	How dare you?
hvd.hn1e8p	How did you get this post?"
hvd.hn1e8p	How did your father get it?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I have no reason to suspect Mrs. Krill —""Good heavens, Hurd, you do n't think she killed her husband?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I never went back, and since then I have never met an old Torrington boy —"15 The Opal Serpent “ Have you not?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I say, Grexon, what are you doing now?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I say,"he took the three volumes, “ will you lend me these?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I ses,'What do you want with a book?'
hvd.hn1e8p	I suppose my husband did not tell you why he wanted to buy the brooch?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I suppose you agree with me that silence is judicious?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I want to know why you offered Aaron Norman to Bhowanee?"
hvd.hn1e8p	I wonder if she made use of that young devil of a Tray in any way?
hvd.hn1e8p	I'm going to tell you about the murder —""Oh,"said Sylvia, turning pale,"what do you mean?"
hvd.hn1e8p	If she does know, why does she double the reward?
hvd.hn1e8p	Is Miss Sylvia there?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Is he a Jew by any chance?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Is it important?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Is she that sort of girl?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Is your arm all right?"
hvd.hn1e8p	It's pawning is it?
hvd.hn1e8p	Know his name, sir?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Krill told you so?
hvd.hn1e8p	Krill?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Krill?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Krill?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Lor'bless you, Mr. Pash, so long as the will's tight and fair what do it matter?
hvd.hn1e8p	No Bhungees, no Bhats, no —""What are you talking about? ” said Hurd, angrily.
hvd.hn1e8p	Not that nautical man?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Now then, Mr. Beecot, what made Aaron Norman write and sign those lines giving up his property — or a part of it, just before his death?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Now, then, who did you give it to?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Now, what do you wish to know?
hvd.hn1e8p	Now, who told you to kill him?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Now,"he said, looking triumphantly round the table,"which of you can say there's a murder in your family — eh, ladies and gen- tlemen?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh, by the way,"he added, “ have you heard that Mr. Pash is being asked for many of those jewels?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Oh, why not?"
hvd.hn1e8p	One thousand pounds it is now — worth winning, eh?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Pash looked suspiciously at the handmaiden. “ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Pash?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Pash?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Remember 190 Sylvia ’s Theory the handful of coarse brown sugar he left on the counter?
hvd.hn1e8p	See here, Mr. Beecot, have you ever tried your hand at a detective story?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Serpent “ Oh, yes, she's well off,"said Hay, calmly,"and you, Paul?"
hvd.hn1e8p	She was here on that fatal evening,"said Hurd, making a bold shot, “ how did you prevent her seeing Norman? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	She's nearly twenty- one, is n't she?"
hvd.hn1e8p	So Deborah thought we might be engaged, and""And have you a word to say against it, sir?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Talk English, eh?"
hvd.hn1e8p	The Confessions of a Thug,"she read out, and looked at Paul. “ Have you read it?"
hvd.hn1e8p	The lovers spent the rest of the time in talking 191 The Opal Serpent “ What did happen, Paul?"
hvd.hn1e8p	The name of Krill was in those printed bills — a portrait also, and now""Well, what?"
hvd.hn1e8p	The same as her — the same as Norman's was?"
hvd.hn1e8p	The skipper- ” “ What was the skipper's name?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Then seeing her lover look puzzled, “ I mean, that I should find out what goor is?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Then we'll marry, and —""But your father, Paul?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Then you did not know Lemuel Krill?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Then your Dulcinea is an heiress?"

hvd.hn1e8p	Thes And?

hvd.hn1e8p	Tray, the boy, took it from Beecot's pocket when he met with that accident ”"How do you know Tray?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Was the man a detective? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	Well, Paul, and how is Dulcinea of Gwynne Street?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Well, what then?"
hvd.hn1e8p	What about Jessop?"
hvd.hn1e8p	What about that opal brooch you stole from Beecot when he had the smash?"
hvd.hn1e8p	What did the working man mean, and was he a working man?
hvd.hn1e8p	What do you mean?

hvd.hn1e8p	What's nine times nine?"

hvd.hn1e8p	When?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Where did you get that brooch?"

hvd.hn1e8p	Why do you ask? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	Why do you ask?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why do you ask?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why do you mention it?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why do you wish to see him?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why is Mr. Beecot in the hospital?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why should Grexon Hay be called so, and what did the phrase mean?
hvd.hn1e8p	Why should Hokar leave the sugar at all?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why should she mark this with an initial which has nothing to do with her name?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Why? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	Will you take a message to her from me?"
hvd.hn1e8p	Yes?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You are in love?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You are sure those fellows wo n't speak?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You could live on two thousand odd a year, eh?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You do n't suspect me, I hope?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You know the case?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You remember that scrap of paper found by the maid?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You remember?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You saw him?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You still suspect him?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You will call and see us?
hvd.hn1e8p	You'll keep me advised of how the case goes?"
hvd.hn1e8p	You'll stay to supper, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1e8p	and she rubbed her nose till it grew scarlet, “ what of it, Mr. Beecot, I do ask?"
hvd.hn1e8p	and where is she?"
hvd.hn1e8p	asked Mrs. Krill, coolly, “ what of that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	asked the doctor;"an- other patient?"
hvd.hn1e8p	cried Deborah,"whatever are you agoin'there for, sir?"
hvd.hn1e8p	does he call Maud his daughter?"
hvd.hn1e8p	he asked, lifting his darkened eyebrows,"so you mean to marry that girl?"
hvd.hn1e8p	he shouted, “ who are you?"
hvd.hn1e8p	is Miss Norman?"
hvd.hn1e8p	might he?
hvd.hn1e8p	rose the plaintive voice of the sheep- dog, “ what is it, Aurora?
hvd.hn1e8p	she shouted in her usual style,"not'ave my own sweet pretty to arsk a blessing on my mar- riage, and she not able to git out of'er blacks?
hvd.hn1e8p	who stole the donkey?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ A demon?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ About the murder?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Am I likely to meet her?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ An'where else should she stop but with her own silly, foolish Debby, I'd like to know?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ And carried off the brooch?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ And meantime how do you live?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ And you congratulate me on my approaching mar- riage?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Anyone else stopping at the inn? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Are you a Puritan may I ask?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Are you employing Mr. Ford, may I ask?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Aurora, you do n't mean to say he has anything to do with the murder of Aaron Norman?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Bart Tawsey is n't he?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ But Matilda did n't know what Maud was up to?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ But he sleeps upstairs?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Can I see those bags?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Can you be jealous — Paul?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Child, do you love him?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Curries — a native? ” “ Yes — a man called Hokar."
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Did you tell about the brooch? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Do you remember that working man with the bag of tools who was across the road when we last con- versed?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Fall in?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Goor?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Got any new books, Bart?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Has your father ever said so?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Have you seen him since?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Is it really murder?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Mawold was the child bed with the chilfs; Krill “ Maud?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Meaning Krill?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ My sweetest"—he caught her in his arms —"do you think a dozen fathers would make me give you up?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Now, then, what do 87 The Opal Serpent you know?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ On the sixth of July?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Paul, do you think it is quite hon- orable for you and I to be engaged without the consent of my father?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Stowley?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Sylvia's mother?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Tell me what?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ The family?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Then it would seem that Jessop and Krill were in league?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Then why'ave that other got it?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Was Norman rich?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Was that why you fainted?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What can it be?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What do you think will be the end of all this?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What end? ” The Opal Serpent Sylvia shook her head still more sorrowfully.
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ What's the landlady's name? ” “ Matilda Junk."
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Whatever do you mean, dearest?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Where did she come from?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ Where have I heard that name?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ With this arrangements — what is they?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You came down a quarter of an hour later?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You have not heard from her since?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You have seen it before?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You know of that?
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You never saw it drop from my pocket? ”.
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You seem to know all about it, mister?"
hvd.hn1e8p	“ You wanted to buy it from Beecot, anyhow?"
hvd.hn1e33	Amy- Miss Mason — how does she take this? ” he faltered. hvd.hn1e33 And so Spotty has confessed?
hvd.hn1e33	And the watch was in Ali's hand? ”Sure!
hvd.hn1e33	And was it stolen from you? ”No.
hvd.hn1e33	And who are you? ”Her second cousin.
hvd.hn1e33	Are you Colonel Brentnall? ” she asked. hvd.hn1e33 Are you sure it was heart disease, Dr. War- ren?"
hvd.hn1e33	Better get the police right away. ”Murdered? ” asked Tremlain, who had re- mained beside Darcy near the showcase where the silver gleamed.
hvd.hn1e33	But I thought you said the poison- needle watch might not have killed Mrs. Darcy? ”. hvd.hn1e33 But are you sure it did, Doc? ”"Pretty sure, yes.
hvd.hn1e33	But the blow on her head — the stab wound in her side?
hvd.hn1e33	But what can we do without you? ” he asked. hvd.hn1e33 But what's it all about?"
hvd.hn1e33	Could not Singa Phut have done it?
hvd.hn1e33	Dat's whut he is. ”-And his name is Colonel Brentnall? ”"Well, honey, dat ai n't his real name.
hvd.hn1e33	Did I tell you to speak?
hvd.hn1e33	Did you come directly down to the store from your room?
hvd.hn1e33	Do I want him?
hvd.hn1e33	Do n't what? ” asked the physician sharply. hvd.hn1e33 Do n't you know Jimmie boy? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Do you happen to know what became of that watch — the one in her hand? hvd.hn1e33 Do you know Aaron Grafton? ” asked the colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	Do you mean- that's what killed Mrs. Darcy — that watch 3"I do n't know yet, Jack. ”But how could it?
hvd.hn1e33	Do you suppose,asked the jeweler,"that Harry King could have had anything to do with this case?"
hvd.hn1e33	Do you think he knew the deadly nature of the watch?
hvd.hn1e33	Do you — do you think you can get over it, Colonel?
hvd.hn1e33	Foolishness?
hvd.hn1e33	Gun? ” asked Thong, who was making a quick visual inventory of the interior of the place. hvd.hn1e33 Have a talk with Singa Phut?
hvd.hn1e33	Have you anything to say, Mr. Kenneth? ” asked the judge of Darcy's lawyer. hvd.hn1e33 He is n't? ” cried the old detective, and there was surprise in his voice.
hvd.hn1e33	How about having his watch repaired?
hvd.hn1e33	How did Mrs. Darcy come to have the watch in her hand? ” Carroll demanded. hvd.hn1e33 How did you know I was here? ” asked Colonel Ashley.
hvd.hn1e33	How in the name of Heaven did you know that? ” he cried. hvd.hn1e33 How is Amy? ” well, the last I saw of her.
hvd.hn1e33	How long has this been going on, Jack?
hvd.hn1e33	How?
hvd.hn1e33	I beg your pardon? ” he said, in the cultured tones he knew so well how to use, yet of which he made so little use of late. hvd.hn1e33 I said, where have you been? ” remarked the other.
hvd.hn1e33	I? ” “ Yes. hvd.hn1e33 Is he a jeweler? ” “ Lord, no!
hvd.hn1e33	Is n't it? ” agreed the colonel. hvd.hn1e33 Is that your knife, Harry King?"
hvd.hn1e33	Is we, Colonel? hvd.hn1e33 It did n't hurt him much,"observed the col- onel, “ and, if I have guessed right, his death will be painless. ”"How soon? ” asked Donovan.
hvd.hn1e33	Memories? hvd.hn1e33 Mr. Kedge, in N'York, sah?"
hvd.hn1e33	My lawyer? ” asked Darcy. hvd.hn1e33 No double crossin'? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Nor the servant — what's her name? hvd.hn1e33 Not after me?
hvd.hn1e33	Oh, so that's what King heard about an elece* tric lathe?
hvd.hn1e33	Oh, that gink? hvd.hn1e33 Oh, that you, Jack?
hvd.hn1e33	Oh, you mean Mr. Campbell's? ”Yes, sah!
hvd.hn1e33	Oh- who — who are you? hvd.hn1e33 Out where you said Mrs. Larch is staying? ”"Yes, only she does n't call herself that now."
hvd.hn1e33	Poisoned needle, Colonel? ” asked Dr. War- ren, as he shoved the cigarette Donovan had broken toward the middle of the table. hvd.hn1e33 Say, what's this for?"
hvd.hn1e33	Shag,asked the colonel, still chuckling,"what do you think that nincompoop had the infernal audacity to offer me in the way of a book?".
hvd.hn1e33	Shall I ring for the wagon? ”. hvd.hn1e33 She has the missing diamond cross?"
hvd.hn1e33	Show you her collection of coins? hvd.hn1e33 Sure?
hvd.hn1e33	The colonel guy? ” The doctor's voice showed his puzzlement. hvd.hn1e33 The watch that is still ticking? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Then how did you get that diamond cross? hvd.hn1e33 Well, I think he was looking for something in the cigarettes- and- he found it. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Dr. Warren.
hvd.hn1e33	Well, what does he say, Basset?
hvd.hn1e33	What are the chances of getting him off legally if we go at it from a negative stand- point?
hvd.hn1e33	What do I think? hvd.hn1e33 What do you call it then? ” demanded the headquarters detective.
hvd.hn1e33	What do you intend to do?
hvd.hn1e33	What does he say?
hvd.hn1e33	What in the world for? hvd.hn1e33 What is it?
hvd.hn1e33	What is it? ” asked Coloney Ashley, noting the unusual look. hvd.hn1e33 What is it?"
hvd.hn1e33	What's the matter? ” asked the first man, as he swung down from his vehicle with a wire carrier filled with bottles in his hand. hvd.hn1e33 What's the row? ” demanded Patrolman Mul- ligan.
hvd.hn1e33	What's up, Bill?
hvd.hn1e33	What's up?
hvd.hn1e33	What?
hvd.hn1e33	Where did Harry King get that odd coin which made it look bad in his case for a while?
hvd.hn1e33	Where is she? ” whispered Casey, as soon as he reached the side of his business rival, Trem- lain. hvd.hn1e33 Where were you when you were robbed of it? ”"I was n't robbed of it.
hvd.hn1e33	Where's the watch now?
hvd.hn1e33	Wheresh tha'paper cutter I left for you ť'grave Pearl's name on? hvd.hn1e33 Who else could have croaked her? ” pursued 148 The Diamond Cross Mystery Carroll.
hvd.hn1e33	Who in the name of all the devils in hades are you? ” he cried. hvd.hn1e33 Who is it?
hvd.hn1e33	Who's Walton? hvd.hn1e33 Why, what's the matter with that? ” asked the boy.
hvd.hn1e33	Yes, the chap that's working with Kenneth on the Darcy case. ” “ Seen him? hvd.hn1e33 Yes, what is it? ”"A telegram for you, Colonel. ” “ Send it up!
hvd.hn1e33	You are a private detective?
hvd.hn1e33	You did n't call Mrs. Darcy? ”No."
hvd.hn1e33	You got Pearl's name'graved on it, Darcy, ole man?
hvd.hn1e33	You were careful not to scratch yourself on the needle?
hvd.hn1e33	You wo n't keep the store open? ” he inquired. hvd.hn1e33 You — you wo n't leave me here alone — will you? ” asked Darcy.
hvd.hn1e33	You — you'll go with me? ” faltered Darcy. hvd.hn1e33 'tain't dat at all! ”Well, what is it?
hvd.hn1e33	102 The Diamond Cross Mystery “ Yes, but “ Now, that is n't the way to talk, especially when I have come to bring you good news. ”"Good news?
hvd.hn1e33	143 The Death Watch 145 “ Can you tell which killed her? ”"I should say the stab wound, but I can not be positive.
hvd.hn1e33	158 The Diamond Cross Mystery Just because it was in a dead man's hand- and in a woman's?"
hvd.hn1e33	228 101 The Diamond Cross Mystery"Is yo'gwine be out all night, Colonel? ” asked Shag.
hvd.hn1e33	268 The Diamond Cross Mystery “ Want to say where you're going? ” “ I suppose I'd better.
hvd.hn1e33	72 The Diamond Cross Mystery"What did you tell her? ” asked Carroll.
hvd.hn1e33	Am I right or wrong?
hvd.hn1e33	And can it be done? ”"It can, and I'm going to do it.
hvd.hn1e33	And if you let me hear a whisper of anything bordering on a case you and I part company- do you hear?"
hvd.hn1e33	And is there any truth in the newspaper story about the same watch that was found in Mrs. Darcy's hand being found in the hand of the dead man?"
hvd.hn1e33	And it's a sort of fishing, too, is n't it? ” “ Yes, sah, Colonel!
hvd.hn1e33	And the stopping of the clocks?
hvd.hn1e33	And the watch?
hvd.hn1e33	And there's a lady with him. ” “ A lady? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1e33	And yet it is possible that Mrs. Darcy may have been killed by the watch. ”"Killed by it?—how? ” gasped Jack Young.
hvd.hn1e33	And yet — Oh, well, what's the use of speculating?
hvd.hn1e33	And you found the old lady like this? ” asked Carroll.
hvd.hn1e33	And, if things go right, I may be able to bring her as much wealth as she has herself. ”"How do you mean if things go right?"
hvd.hn1e33	Any message you want to send to Miss Mason? ”"Only that I – ” Darcy hesitated and grew red.
hvd.hn1e33	Any of the doors or windows forced? ” and the detective fairly shot these questions at Darcy.
hvd.hn1e33	Are you in condition to talk? ”"Not here! ” interrupted Thong quickly, with a glance at the newspaper men, which they were quick to interpret.
hvd.hn1e33	Are you pre- pared to keep it if I walk a way with you? ” “ I am!
hvd.hn1e33	Are you sure about that, Young?"
hvd.hn1e33	Arrest me for murdering the old woman, will you?
hvd.hn1e33	As soon as I awakened. ” “ Where is your room?"
hvd.hn1e33	Better'phone the morgue keep- er,"he went on, “ and have them come for the body. ”"Have you — have you got to take her away?"
hvd.hn1e33	But dere's been annudder murder in town. ” “ Another murder? ” “ Yes, Colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	But he's very different since his wife 234 The Diamond Cross Mystery"What sort of present, Jack? ”"A diamond cross."
hvd.hn1e33	But how did it happen? ”"Oh, well, there is n't much of a story to it,"and Donovan's voice showed his disappointment.
hvd.hn1e33	But how did you know I was a detective and stopping at the Adams House? ” “ He told me!"
hvd.hn1e33	But it was a close call! ” In the Shadows 261 Prosecutor?"
hvd.hn1e33	But it will take time. ” “ Do you know who killed my cousin?"
hvd.hn1e33	But please, wo n't you help me?
hvd.hn1e33	But she still believes in me, does n't she? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hn1e33	But we'll get him! ” “ Then you think he did it?"
hvd.hn1e33	But what ailed him, Doc? ”"I ca n't say yet.
hvd.hn1e33	But what do you say to a julep?"
hvd.hn1e33	But what is to have prevented her from having been punctured by the watch just before she received those hurts?
hvd.hn1e33	But what's your hurry?
hvd.hn1e33	But when his pal went back on him —"“ What do you mean — his pal went back on him?"
hvd.hn1e33	But who does yo's'pect did dish yeah killin'?''
hvd.hn1e33	CHAPTER VIII THE DIAMOND CROSS “ COLONEL ASHLEY?"
hvd.hn1e33	CHAPTER XVI THE COLONEL WONDERS Se “ What did that, Colonel?
hvd.hn1e33	Ca n't you see?
hvd.hn1e33	Can he and Spotty be up to some trick between them and did the gunman get away with the cross?
hvd.hn1e33	Can you explain that?"
hvd.hn1e33	Certainly the colonel had spoken as though he might, at one time, have had a chance to get the"right man. ” Did that mean the real murderer?
hvd.hn1e33	Could I hire you to take me to that brook you spoke of, where you say there are such big fish? ”!
hvd.hn1e33	Could not he have both struck Mrs. Darcy with the hunter statue and stabbed her in trying to get away from her?
hvd.hn1e33	Could your apparatus have done that? ”"Never.
hvd.hn1e33	Cyn- thia's husband may ask about it at any moment, and what excuse can she give? ”"It is rather a ticklish matter, ” agreed the detec- tive.
hvd.hn1e33	Darcy?"
hvd.hn1e33	Did I say anything?"
hvd.hn1e33	Did he ever do any business with you — I mean buy anything in the store? ”"Why yes, I think very possibly he might.
hvd.hn1e33	Did he hope that some spirit of the poor, mur- dered woman might still be lingering there, to whisper to him what he sought to learn?
hvd.hn1e33	Did it mean a visitor for any of them?
hvd.hn1e33	Did it mean their lawyer was coming to bid them cheer up, or to tell them it looked black for their chances?
hvd.hn1e33	Did n't I tell you so in my letter?"
hvd.hn1e33	Did you ever read de Maupassant's'Diamond Necklace?
hvd.hn1e33	Did you hear any- thing?"
hvd.hn1e33	Did you hear anything? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Do n't you under- stan'?
hvd.hn1e33	Do you care to hear about it?"
hvd.hn1e33	Do you think I'm going to ruin just because you could n't stand a little rough treatment now and then?
hvd.hn1e33	Do you want him?"
hvd.hn1e33	Do you want me to follow King out of town? ” “ Of course.
hvd.hn1e33	Do you want me to give names?"
hvd.hn1e33	Does anybody in town know you're here? ”"Well, my picture"“ Yes, it is probably down at headquarters.
hvd.hn1e33	Ever take it up?"
hvd.hn1e33	First I thought it was her heart beating. ” “ No, I mean did you hear anything in the night? “ went on the detective.
hvd.hn1e33	First, which wound killed Mrs. Dar- cy?
hvd.hn1e33	Go on. ”"Well then, I want to find a certain valuable diamond cross. ”"A diamond cross?".
hvd.hn1e33	Got a place where I can wash my hands? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1e33	Got her name all'graved on it nice an'pretty?
hvd.hn1e33	Got some friends in town? ” “ Oh, no, sah, Colonel!
hvd.hn1e33	Grafton?
hvd.hn1e33	Have a drink?"
hvd.hn1e33	Have we arrived?
hvd.hn1e33	Have you been buying a newspaper? ” “ Ye- ye- yes, sah, Colonel, I has!
hvd.hn1e33	Have you it? ” “ Yes, it's here.
hvd.hn1e33	Have you looked over the stock all you want to? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	He is?
hvd.hn1e33	He may be in any time now, and I have n't it ready for him. ”"What sort of a repair job? ” asked Carroll.
hvd.hn1e33	He may have come to the store late at night intending to warn him to be careful. ” “ Well, assuming that, what next?"
hvd.hn1e33	He may, as he says, have gotten up early to redeem his promise to repair it. ” “ But he never did? ” asked the colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	He must- Colonel, do n't you see what this means?"
hvd.hn1e33	He owns the Emporium. ”"That big department store? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1e33	He'll stick by Jimmie through thick and thin, for he says he knows he's innocent. ” “ And yourself?
hvd.hn1e33	He's the kind of a feller that ca n't hide very well, unless he goes and kills himself, and he may do that. ”"How did it happen?
hvd.hn1e33	Hear it tick? ” and Donovan held open the door of his closet.
hvd.hn1e33	How about it?"
hvd.hn1e33	How about that, Mr. Darcy? ”"Well, no.
hvd.hn1e33	How does your loyalty meet the test? ” Amy Mason drew herself up, a splendid figure of beautiful womanhood.
hvd.hn1e33	How'd you find things when you came downstairs?
hvd.hn1e33	How's the weather, Shag? ”"Well, sah, Colonel, it's — it's sorter- moist, Colonel!"
hvd.hn1e33	How?"
hvd.hn1e33	I am sorry but 14""You did n't strike him, did you?"
hvd.hn1e33	I came straight up and went to bed. ” “ At ten o'clock, you say?"
hvd.hn1e33	I did hear something- it was n't exactly a noise — and yet it was a noise. ” “ What kind of talk is that? ” demanded Thong roughly.
hvd.hn1e33	I do n't want to seem harsh, or im- polite, but I can't-""Not even for double your usual fee?
hvd.hn1e33	I give it to you- have'grave- Pearl's name- wheresh my knife?"
hvd.hn1e33	I had come down to the store early to do a little repair job, and the first thing I saw was — her! ”"What time did it happen?"
hvd.hn1e33	I hate to say it- murderer? ” “ Why, Colonel Ashley is one of the greatest detectives in the United States — at least, he used to be.
hvd.hn1e33	I have n't yet found a motive for his killing of his partner- if he did it. ” “ Who else could?"
hvd.hn1e33	I remember, at the time, it felt as though something had passed over my face. ”"Like a hand? ” suggested Carroll.
hvd.hn1e33	I suppose Kedge is very busy now?"
hvd.hn1e33	I suppose the lady — there is a lady in it, of course? ” questioned the colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	I told you that, did n't I? ”"Deed an'yo'did, Colonel!".
hvd.hn1e33	I told'em that, but they would n't believe me. ” “ Too old to go fishin', sah, Colonel?
hvd.hn1e33	I want to be with him. ”"Where's your hooks and line? ” asked the boy.
hvd.hn1e33	I went to bed about half past ten, after working at my table down here awhile. ”"Was Mrs. Darcy in bed then? ” Thong asked.
hvd.hn1e33	I won- Singa Phut 187 der- Oh, but what's the use of wondering?
hvd.hn1e33	I wonder who his lady friend is?
hvd.hn1e33	I wonder""Oh, what am I bothering about it for, any- how?
hvd.hn1e33	I wonder, if he gets into the sea of New York, if I'll ever be able to land him?
hvd.hn1e33	I wonder- I wonder if she'll have anything to do with me after this?
hvd.hn1e33	I'd oughter cleared out, but I was waitin'for a pal, an – Oh, well, it was just like you to come around early. ”"Man, do n't you understand?
hvd.hn1e33	I'll get him off yet! ”"Are you sure, Colonel? ” and her eyes were bright with unshed tears.
hvd.hn1e33	I'm too old. ” “ Too old, Colonel? ”"Yes, too old!
hvd.hn1e33	If I had n't been as slow as a carp I might have the right man here now in your place. ” “ What do you mean, Colonel? ”"Eh?
hvd.hn1e33	If I had n't been as slow as a carp I might have the right man here now in your place. ” “ What do you mean, Colonel? ”"Eh?
hvd.hn1e33	If we had a cat now or a rat? ”"Easy enough to get a rat,"interposed the warden.
hvd.hn1e33	In the interests of justice ” “ Do you think this will help in solving the mystery? ”"It may."
hvd.hn1e33	Is Mrs. Darcy —? ”"Dead!
hvd.hn1e33	Is she in any danger, Colonel? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Is this Col- chester?"
hvd.hn1e33	It is not instantaneous. ”"But who would have struck or stabbed her after that?"
hvd.hn1e33	It may have been I dreamed it. ” “ But what did it feel like? ” insisted Thong.
hvd.hn1e33	It may have been a quarter to eleven. ” “ And you did n't hear anything all night? ” Carroll shot this question at Darcy suddenly.
hvd.hn1e33	It shot out, punctured his lip, and Chet died. ”"Did you know it was a poisoned watch? ” asked Jack Young.
hvd.hn1e33	It was high! ” “ Larch! ” “ The hotel keeper? ” “ So I understand.
hvd.hn1e33	It was ticking loudly, The Diamond Cross Mystery"What makes it sound so plain? ” asked Trem- lain.
hvd.hn1e33	It will come out all right! ” “ But Amy — and the disgrace? ”"She does n't consider herself disgraced, and you should n't.
hvd.hn1e33	It — it's'bout one ob dem tings! ”"What things?
hvd.hn1e33	It's the only good one for trout around here besides the one on my father's farm. ”"Has your father a trout stream?"
hvd.hn1e33	King's Dagger 33 “ She?
hvd.hn1e33	May I come to see you?
hvd.hn1e33	Me study watches?
hvd.hn1e33	Might have been from a black- jack? ” and he glanced questioningly at the detectives.
hvd.hn1e33	Murder?
hvd.hn1e33	No trouble on the trip?
hvd.hn1e33	Not really?"
hvd.hn1e33	Now how about last night — was there any row- any noise?
hvd.hn1e33	Now what do you say to — Colonel Ashley?"
hvd.hn1e33	Now which was it? ”"Well, if you call a clock striking a noise, then it was one. ” “ Oh, a clock struck!"
hvd.hn1e33	Now you dare ask me for them again? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Now you'd better get ready to leave. ” “ You mean lock the place up?"
hvd.hn1e33	Now, what is it?"
hvd.hn1e33	Oh, Colonel Brent- nall, you will help us — won't you? ” She stood there, a beautiful and pathetic pic.
hvd.hn1e33	Or did it have anything to do with the strange wires that led to the work table of James Darcy?
hvd.hn1e33	Or was it Walton?
hvd.hn1e33	Place on fire?
hvd.hn1e33	Sallie?"
hvd.hn1e33	Say, does he want a book- a paper?
hvd.hn1e33	Say, if he lets out anything we can use against Darcy — you know, legitimate stuff-pass it on to me and Thong, will you?
hvd.hn1e33	Second, who inflicted either or both wounds?
hvd.hn1e33	Shall I leave the watch apart this way, Colonel? ” “ Yes, I may need it to show to the jury.
hvd.hn1e33	Shall I let him in?"
hvd.hn1e33	Shall we send him on? ”"Send him on?
hvd.hn1e33	Shall we send him on? ”"Send him on?
hvd.hn1e33	She's deaf. ” “ And you did n't call the janitor? ”"No.
hvd.hn1e33	She's killed you say?"
hvd.hn1e33	Singa Phut is still in town. ”"Does that answer all your questions, Colonel? ” inquired Dr. Warren.
hvd.hn1e33	So far you have n't been recognized then? ”"Only by you, and it'd take a pretty clever"No compliments, Spotty.
hvd.hn1e33	So it was to find the diamond cross you visited the store of the murdered woman? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1e33	So it was turned over to him. ”"But did he really kill his partner? ”"Surest thing you know.
hvd.hn1e33	So the old lady's dead, is she?
hvd.hn1e33	So you got back with Spotty, did you?
hvd.hn1e33	So you walked in secret?"
hvd.hn1e33	Swirling Waters 275 “ Can it be? ” exclaimed the colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	S’pose they all ran down at once? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	That was locked with the spring catch from the inside. ” “ Was n't it bolted?"
hvd.hn1e33	The Colonel Wonders 223"Not need them?"
hvd.hn1e33	Then he said to Shag: “ Do you know where I ought to be now? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Then it does look bad for him? ” Amy's Test 245 “ It does. ” “ And how does he bear up under it? ” “ Very well.
hvd.hn1e33	Then it does look bad for him? ” Amy's Test 245 “ It does. ” “ And how does he bear up under it? ” “ Very well.
hvd.hn1e33	Then, as if in desperation, he turned to the shrinking negro and went on:"You say there's a mystery about it, Shag?"
hvd.hn1e33	Then, to get to the more personal problem, did either King or Darcy commit the murder, and, if so, why?
hvd.hn1e33	There King's Dagger 37 was a shuffling of feet, and a rather thick and unsteady voice asked:"Whash matter here?
hvd.hn1e33	There came another knock on the door and a voice asked:"Is Chet in here, Colonel?
hvd.hn1e33	They're going to work together — aren't you, Mr. Kenneth?"
hvd.hn1e33	Try it on him?"
hvd.hn1e33	Was that so? ” “ Yes, and, I am sorry to say, it was partly about you."
hvd.hn1e33	We may need it. ” 186 The Diamond Cross Mystery"But suppose King goes away? ”"He wo n't.
hvd.hn1e33	We?
hvd.hn1e33	Well, detective work is a sort of hunt, is n't it, Shag? ”"Yes, sah, Colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	Well, the question I am trying to solve is why did she say:'No ali- mony! ” “'No alimony'? ” repeated the colonel, puzzled.
hvd.hn1e33	Well, what's up now? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Well, will this never end?
hvd.hn1e33	What are you going to do next?"
hvd.hn1e33	What devilish thing did that? ” and with a trembling finger Jack Young pointed to the body of the dead dog on the floor of the detective's room.
hvd.hn1e33	What did you do next? ”"I awakened with a sudden start just before six o'clock.
hvd.hn1e33	What do you mean? ” asked Carroll quickly.
hvd.hn1e33	What especially did you want to tell me?"
hvd.hn1e33	What happened during the night?
hvd.hn1e33	What is it?
hvd.hn1e33	What is it? ”"Well, Colonel, sah, de paper done got in it an'count ob a strange an'mysterious murder case, an'_""I knew it!
hvd.hn1e33	What is it?".
hvd.hn1e33	What is your theory? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	What road's he travel on? ”"He do n't travel.
hvd.hn1e33	What you going to do, Colonel?
hvd.hn1e33	What's a family good for, anyhow, after you're grown up?
hvd.hn1e33	What's in it that's so mighty interesting? ”"Er — Colonel- yo'see- yo'done tole me-"“ Oh, out with it, Shag!
hvd.hn1e33	What's that Walton says about man proposing and Providence disposing?
hvd.hn1e33	What's that noise?"
hvd.hn1e33	What's that watch ticking? ” he asked, pausing.
hvd.hn1e33	What's that — at the jew- elry store you say?
hvd.hn1e33	What's that?
hvd.hn1e33	What's the matter, if they've got to have a mur- der, with doing it in the afternoon?
hvd.hn1e33	What's the matter?
hvd.hn1e33	When did it happen?"
hvd.hn1e33	When did you leave New York? ”"Well, I come away- “ Hold on! ” interrupted the colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	When it does it will create a sensation. ”"No alimony, eh?
hvd.hn1e33	When'd you find her like this? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Where have you been?"
hvd.hn1e33	Where is it? ” “ You can come right in here and have the call transferred from our central, ” and the man opened the door of a small booth.
hvd.hn1e33	Where were you, and what did you do? ” asked Carroll easily.
hvd.hn1e33	Where's that rascal Shag?"
hvd.hn1e33	Where's the telephone?"
hvd.hn1e33	Where?
hvd.hn1e33	Wheresh my gold knife, Darcy?
hvd.hn1e33	Wheresh my gold- mounted paper cutter, Darcy?"
hvd.hn1e33	Which shall I tackle first?
hvd.hn1e33	Who belongs to it? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	Who else?"
hvd.hn1e33	Who found her this way?"
hvd.hn1e33	Who is he? ” “ Aaron Grafton, one of Colchester's best and wealthiest citizens.
hvd.hn1e33	Who put it up?
hvd.hn1e33	Who's killed, Shag? ”"Why, Colonel, sah, it's a poor ole lady, an'-""Stop, Shag!
hvd.hn1e33	Whut kind of a book did yo'offer de colonel jest now?"
hvd.hn1e33	Why are you in such haste to get away? ”"Um!
hvd.hn1e33	Why did n't he confess to me, Basset? ”"Well, I guess it's just as he says — he did n't want to split on a pal.
hvd.hn1e33	Why not?
hvd.hn1e33	Yes — what is it?
hvd.hn1e33	Yes, Shag, what is it?
hvd.hn1e33	You ai n't? ” and Spotty drew away from the array of glasses and bottles so suddenly that he overturned a tumbler with its tinkling chunk of ice.
hvd.hn1e33	You are engaged to be married to James Darcy, who is- er- detained as a- er- as a witness in the murder of his cousin?"
hvd.hn1e33	You buy? ” cried Donovan.
hvd.hn1e33	You can drop that case, Colonel. ”"Drop it?"
hvd.hn1e33	You do n't be- lieve Darcy ever put that poison needle arrange- ment in it? ”"No, I do n't.
hvd.hn1e33	You do n't mean to tell me, he's killed, do you?"
hvd.hn1e33	You know most of the timepieces were stopped- all of them, in fact, except the watch in your cousin's hand? ”"Yes, I remarked that at the time.
hvd.hn1e33	You know the stock, do n't you? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	You managed to make friends with him?"
hvd.hn1e33	You put up this little game with your lover Grafton, did you?
hvd.hn1e33	You saw the body carried out- or are you still so drunk you ca n't remember?
hvd.hn1e33	You want to know- what — what I did?"
hvd.hn1e33	You will help us, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1e33	You will, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1e33	You're pretty drunk, for a fact, but do you happen to know where you were and what you did last night- and early this morning?
hvd.hn1e33	do n't try to hide anything from me, do you hear?
hvd.hn1e33	do you know anything about this? ” and the detective's professional instincts got the upper hand of his friendliness.
hvd.hn1e33	is n't this dreadful? ” she ex- claimed, holding out a paper.
hvd.hn1e33	is that you? ” called the colonel as he heard some one moving out in the hall near his door.
hvd.hn1e33	what object would I have?''
hvd.hn1e33	what's the matter?
hvd.hn1e33	what's the use? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	where are you?"
hvd.hn1e33	whispered the follower of Izaak Walton, “ I wonder if he came here to consult my agency?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ A diamond cross?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Accident? ”"I do n't know.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Ah, so that's the game, is it?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ And there was none?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Any queer noise?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Anything gone from the store? ” he asked Darcy.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Beg pardon, sir, but I_"“ What?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ But he may know all about it. ” “ Possibly. ” “ How about young Darcy? ” The colonel did not answer at once.
hvd.hn1e33	“ But how in the world could she get it, when Spotty had it, and the police that are holding him have that, and he's resisting extradition?
hvd.hn1e33	“ But what did you do? ”"Nothing.
hvd.hn1e33	“ But you are the one from New York? ” “ I am though I do n't know how you guessed it.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Colonel Ashley? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Colonel, did you ever know me to split on a pal unless he split first? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Did he give any particulars? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Did you bring my diamonds as you promised? ”"Yes, I have them. ” His voice was as cold as hers.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Do you mean that he's dead? ”"Sure, ” was the answer.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Does yo'know who the colonel is? ”"No, but he's mighty white if he wants to buy a dollar's worth of books and papers.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Every one in town knows him as one of the prominent merchants. ” “ Was he at the store the day of the — the day Mrs. Darcy was killed? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Going yet- see?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ How'd it happen? ” he asked, as he came back from the instrument and leaned against a show- case containing much glittering silver.
hvd.hn1e33	“ How'd it happen?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ I wonder what's up this time?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ I wonder,"mused the colonel,"what his ob- ject was in coming to the Darcy'place, and nosing around as he did?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Is anything gone? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Is that your dagger? ” snapped Carroll at the jewelry worker.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Killed, eh? ” murmured Carroll, as he bent over the body.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Killed?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ New York papers?''
hvd.hn1e33	“ Not after me, Colonel? ”"No, I came here for a quiet bit of fishing, and I just stumbled on this case against my will.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Say, do you know something about this killing that you're keeping back from us?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Seen that colonel guy to- day?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ So that I may rely on your silence and- er- discretion? ” 124 The Diamond Cross 125 “ Sir!"
hvd.hn1e33	“ That ticker killed the dog?
hvd.hn1e33	“ The best detective? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1e33	“ The old lady's dead- murdered it looks like- and — ”"What's that?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ The one who wanted to sell me a detective story?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ The solution to my problem? ”"No!
hvd.hn1e33	“ Then are n't we at Colchester yet? ” “ No, madam.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Then how did you get that cross? ”"I wo n't tell you!"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Then you came downstairs and found Mrs. Darcy lying here- dead? ”"I was n't sure she was dead — ”.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Then you think Darcy is cleared of any con- nection with the poison watch? ” asked the colonel.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Trouble? ” “ Not yet, Colonel, though there may be.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Was it the striking of the clock that awakened you?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Was the quarrel specially bitter? ” “ Not any more so than others.
hvd.hn1e33	“ We will not be disturbed, and — ”"Up there? ” she gasped.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Whash matter you fellers, anyhow?
hvd.hn1e33	“ What I did?
hvd.hn1e33	“ What do you think about it?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ What is you desire, Colonel? ” 44 The Diamond Cross Mystery"I want peace and quiet, Shag!
hvd.hn1e33	“ What is? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hn1e33	“ What made him hold back on me then?
hvd.hn1e33	“ What one watch?
hvd.hn1e33	“ What shocked her?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ What watch?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ What's all this I hear?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hn1e33	“ What's this?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Where were you- what did you do? ” “ What I did?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Where were you- what did you do? ” “ What I did?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Where'd you get it?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Wheresh my li'l preshent for wifely?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who are you?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who did it- when- how? ”.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who gave it to you?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who is it?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who owns it?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who's asleep?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Who?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1e33	“ Why not? ” he asked, as they walked on, and Swirling Waters 277 the colonel, affecting a slowness in gait, heard the words.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Why not? ”"Well- er-1-we were going to buy it for our new home.
hvd.hn1e33	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Will you join me in a Welsh rabbit?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Will you walk a little way with me?"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Wonder what did it? ”"Should n't wonder but it was done with this!"
hvd.hn1e33	“ Yes, sah, Colonel. ”"You've often heard me talk of fishing and hunting, have n't you? ”"Deed an'I has, Colonel; many a time!
hvd.hn1e33	“ Yes. ”"And of course he may have been struck on his head after he died from the poisoned watch? ” The Colonel Wonders 219"Exactly."
hvd.hn1e33	“ You call her Cynthia? ” The Diamond Cross 129"I have kown her since we were both children."
hvd.hn1e33	“ You do n't know of any diamonds missing from Mrs. Darcy's stock, do you? ” asked the colonel of Mr. Kettridge.
hvd.hn1e33	“ You do n't like to tell me?
hvd.hn1e33	“ You do n't mean Singa Phut? ” “ No, he's in custody.
hvd.hn1e33	“ You mean you're not sure about Darcy? ”"Well, I thought I was.
hvd.32044080916273	And you saw nothing unusual? ”. hvd.32044080916273 Are you allowed to go in to see her? ” asked Lyon in surprise.
hvd.32044080916273	Is that straight about Vanderburg being dead? hvd.32044080916273 Then if there was anyone else who came to see Mr. Fullerton that day, you would n't know about it?"
hvd.32044080916273	Was Mr. Lawrence present when you did so?
hvd.32044080916273	You know Arthur Lawrence pretty well, do n't you?
hvd.32044080916273	You remember the place? hvd.32044080916273 ( Had she meant to say Mr. Fullerton, Lyon wondered, and veered from the name? hvd.32044080916273 * Did you have any reason for refraining from so stating?
hvd.32044080916273	0 answe was THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY 273 “ And what about this dear little girl?
hvd.32044080916273	138 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY on"You mean-? ” “ You can probably work it out, ” said Law- rence drily.
hvd.32044080916273	144 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY “ Are you familiar with Mr. Fullerton's hand- writing? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044080916273	18 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY “ Would such a blow cause death at once?"
hvd.32044080916273	210 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY “ Where can she be? ” he demanded, stopping in his restless walk to face Lyon imperiously.
hvd.32044080916273	24 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY “ Can you describe her? ” “ No.
hvd.32044080916273	About what? ” “ About the — accident. ” “ I do n't know what you are talking about."
hvd.32044080916273	Among the latest were a number of charges, “ for Mrs. W. B. ” Had that meant anything to Bede?
hvd.32044080916273	And Lawrence himself?
hvd.32044080916273	And is Bede going to produce her or is n't he?
hvd.32044080916273	And the girl did n't turn it,-"“ The girl?"
hvd.32044080916273	And yet if the truth would serve to clear two innocent people from sus- picion, could he justify himself in not speaking?
hvd.32044080916273	And, by the way, do n't you lunch at the Tillamook Club?
hvd.32044080916273	Any girl friend? ” “ No, never."
hvd.32044080916273	Any time at all on Monday? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Are you going to write up my picturesque appearance in my barren cell, or do you want my opinion of Yeats'poetry or on the defects of the jury system?
hvd.32044080916273	Are you trying your hand at amateur detective work? ”"I'm looking for material for a lively story,"said Lyon, with his most ingenuous air.
hvd.32044080916273	Because Bede persuaded her to hide, or because he frightened her into hiding on her own account?
hvd.32044080916273	Bede was here, asking me all about her the next day. ” “ Did you tell him the same things you have told me?"
hvd.32044080916273	Bede?"
hvd.32044080916273	Broughton told me about him. ” “ Did she? ” he asked alertly.
hvd.32044080916273	Broughton, if I could put you at this moment face to face with your wife, what would be your attitude toward her? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Broughton?"
hvd.32044080916273	But I was sick for a month,- do you remember? ” “ If you had only told me! ” “ But what could you have done?
hvd.32044080916273	But I was sick for a month,- do you remember? ” “ If you had only told me! ” “ But what could you have done?
hvd.32044080916273	But do you really think that the one and only person will maintain silence on such a matter at such a cost to you? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	But first, is this your New Orleans cane?"
hvd.32044080916273	But first, tell me, is Lawrence's situation really dangerous?"
hvd.32044080916273	But if Miss Elliott knew about that —! ” “ How did he frighten you? ” “ He jumped out at me.
hvd.32044080916273	But maybe some Wednesdays you will be busy?"
hvd.32044080916273	But she's a good girl, Edith is. ” “ Did you wish to see me? ” a cool, low voice asked at the door.
hvd.32044080916273	But what did you do with it? ” “ I mailed it.
hvd.32044080916273	But what if the facts should be that she does n't need any protection?
hvd.32044080916273	But, he wondered, why did she say Monday?
hvd.32044080916273	By Lyon's own knowledge, Lawrence must have been behind him on Hemlock Avenue as he came down that block, else how had he, too, seen the running girl?
hvd.32044080916273	By the way, did n't you say that my friend Lawrence left a cane here once?
hvd.32044080916273	By the way, is her ailment serious? ” “ Puzzling.
hvd.32044080916273	By the way, it was you who identified the man as Fullerton, was n't it?".
hvd.32044080916273	By the way, what theory have you to offer in regard to his coat being on wrong side out? ” “ What do you make of it yourself?
hvd.32044080916273	By the way, what theory have you to offer in regard to his coat being on wrong side out? ” “ What do you make of it yourself?
hvd.32044080916273	Can you be- lieve for the thousandth part of an instant that she would have gone to that girl if there was any- thing between her and Lawrence?
hvd.32044080916273	Can you prove it? ” he asked anxiously.
hvd.32044080916273	Can you stand the humil- iation of that knowledge? ” “ She to forgive me? ” stammered Broughton.
hvd.32044080916273	Can you stand the humil- iation of that knowledge? ” “ She to forgive me? ” stammered Broughton.
hvd.32044080916273	Can you swear that this stick is actually the one that you thought you had broken? ” “ Why, of course it is.
hvd.32044080916273	Changed your room?"
hvd.32044080916273	Confound you, why do n't you begin?
hvd.32044080916273	Could Bede read his thoughts and tear from him the secret he was most anxious to guard, — Miss Wolcott's connection with the affair?
hvd.32044080916273	Could he, by turning them and trying them, find the answer?
hvd.32044080916273	Could it be that Lawrence had mistakenly jumped to the the same conclusion that he had?
hvd.32044080916273	Could she have gone through the Wolcott yard on her way elsewhere?
hvd.32044080916273	Did Lawrence entertain the thought that she was in- volved in the affair in any other way than as a possible witness?
hvd.32044080916273	Did he know her?
hvd.32044080916273	Did he think it possible that she herself was the murderer?
hvd.32044080916273	Did he wear a hat? ”"He had a long loose grey coat, and a hat pulled away down over his eyes.
hvd.32044080916273	Did n't you know? ” the old gentleman asked, in surprise.
hvd.32044080916273	Did she feel that it was impossible to live?
hvd.32044080916273	Did she go for a sleeping powder before or after the murder?
hvd.32044080916273	Did she go to her death, — or to hide and wait for him? ” “ If you mean Lawrence, that's all nonsense, ” said Lyon, calmly.
hvd.32044080916273	Did you come straight home?"
hvd.32044080916273	Did you identify him at that distance?"
hvd.32044080916273	Did you know him?
hvd.32044080916273	Did you mail it?"
hvd.32044080916273	Did you no- tice particularly? ” “ Why, dark fur, I guess, ” Johnny answered hopefully.
hvd.32044080916273	Did you really see me then?
hvd.32044080916273	Did you recognize the lady? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Did you see her face? ” “ No, she had a veil on. ” Lyon inwardly anathematized the feminine ex- pedient of wearing veils.
hvd.32044080916273	Did you wish to see me?"
hvd.32044080916273	Do n't you know something that the public has n't got hold of?
hvd.32044080916273	Do you know anyone to whom he would be likely to confide such a matter, — any confidant or chum? ” She shook her head helplessly.
hvd.32044080916273	Do you know what it is? ” Lyon reflected that Bede had not asked that question.
hvd.32044080916273	Do you like it?"
hvd.32044080916273	Do you remember? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Do you see any way yet in which I can help it to come? ” Lawrence looked at him silently, smilingly, and shook his head.
hvd.32044080916273	Do you suppose it was perhaps because the last one was n't sent?
hvd.32044080916273	Do you think they will make me tell publicly all that I told you?
hvd.32044080916273	Do you understand?
hvd.32044080916273	Does he know?
hvd.32044080916273	From Lawrence? ” “ No.
hvd.32044080916273	Gossip has n't mentioned it. ” “ And does she believe in him?"
hvd.32044080916273	Had he any personal enemies?
hvd.32044080916273	Had he been a witness of the murder, if not an actor in it?
hvd.32044080916273	Had he encoun- tered Fullerton and Miss Wolcott together, and had there been a sudden quarrel with this unex- pected termination?
hvd.32044080916273	Had he really covered his tracks, or had he left some perfectly obvious clue for the detective to follow?
hvd.32044080916273	Had you seen any- thing, — a row, or a fight of any sort? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Have you any idea who G. B. is?
hvd.32044080916273	Have you considered that? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Have you read that charming little book written by one of your clever Kentucky women-“Aunt Jane of Ken- tucky"- by Eliza Calvert Hall?
hvd.32044080916273	Have you seen anything?".
hvd.32044080916273	He ca n't really be in any serious danger? ”"The circumstances were sufficient to warrant his arrest.
hvd.32044080916273	He fumed around a little, and finally said he wanted a will drawn up, and could n't I do it?
hvd.32044080916273	He looked somewhat shamefaced, however, as he asked, “ Do you believe that sometimes the dead walk?"
hvd.32044080916273	He must still keep faith with Lawrence, who had trusted him; but was it not possible to help Lawrence against his will through this lawyer?
hvd.32044080916273	He touched his hat when he saw me, and smiled a nasty, sarcastic kind of a smile, and walked off. ” “ When was this? ” “ Maybe two weeks ago."
hvd.32044080916273	How can he think that?
hvd.32044080916273	How could he surprise Miss Elliott into giving him her name?
hvd.32044080916273	How did you find out she was here?
hvd.32044080916273	How do you come to know it, — or think you know it?"
hvd.32044080916273	How had Law- rence ever dared to love her?
hvd.32044080916273	How had he learned about those letters?
hvd.32044080916273	How had his cane come to be on the spot unless he had been there himself?
hvd.32044080916273	How long would she keep possession of that gift, if Lawrence were only free?
hvd.32044080916273	How was it possible that it had come here unless by Lawrence's hand?
hvd.32044080916273	How was that?".
hvd.32044080916273	Howell: “ When was that?"
hvd.32044080916273	I always took in his breakfast tray and his paper,-""How did you get in? ” “ He could release the lock on his door by a spring from his bedroom.
hvd.32044080916273	I do n't think Bede does. ” “ How did you find it out? ” “ By a sort of accident.
hvd.32044080916273	I had no definite reason, either for speaking or for silence. ” “ What were your personal relations with Mr. Fullerton?"
hvd.32044080916273	I have always been much alone. ” “ Then, so far as you know, no one could have learned from you of those letters? ” “ No one."
hvd.32044080916273	I held the elevator for her, but she turned her back and I went down. ” “ Did you take her down later?".
hvd.32044080916273	I know it very well. ” “ May I see the envelope?"
hvd.32044080916273	I know you do n't write often, — men never do, Aunt Meg says, — so I do n't suppose you know that Cousin Jennie is engaged?
hvd.32044080916273	I mean did it influence your actions at all?"
hvd.32044080916273	I mean simply, — are you sure of your premises?
hvd.32044080916273	I meant, believe in him, — in his interest in her?"
hvd.32044080916273	I might take that, as he is not likely to call for it immediately. ” “ Lawrence?
hvd.32044080916273	I returned to Miss Elliott's,-"“ Do you know at what hour? ” asked Lyon, quickly.
hvd.32044080916273	I say, is n't she a wonderful woman? ” “ Miss Wolcott?"
hvd.32044080916273	I say, is n't she a wonderful woman? ” “ Miss Wolcott?"
hvd.32044080916273	I should have seen it the next day. ” “ And you have not seen it at all?"."
hvd.32044080916273	I think if he could know she said that, he would feel proud, do n't you? ” Lyon frowned thoughtfully.
hvd.32044080916273	I think that is true, too, do n't you? ” In spite of the need he felt to explore her mind, the words on her lips shocked him.
hvd.32044080916273	I was in Fullerton's rooms at the Wellington this morning,-"“ How did you get in?"
hvd.32044080916273	I was n't going to have any truck with it. ” “ But you did n't leave it lying on the rug?"
hvd.32044080916273	I wonder how you came to know? ” “ It was mostly an accident,"Lyon murmured.
hvd.32044080916273	If Lawrence had indeed struck the fatal blow, how had it come about?
hvd.32044080916273	If he should kill the man, would you say he was justified?
hvd.32044080916273	If her nerve had broken down, and she should hurl a confes- sion at him before he could stop her, what should he do about it?
hvd.32044080916273	If she was merely a disinterested witness, would he have felt bound, at such cost, to keep her from being called upon?
hvd.32044080916273	Is it anything mysterious? ” Lyon read the note to Howell.
hvd.32044080916273	Is n't there any way for me to escape?
hvd.32044080916273	Is that the law?
hvd.32044080916273	Is that your idea?
hvd.32044080916273	Is there no gossip?"
hvd.32044080916273	It is a quiet neighborhood. ” “ When and where did you see Mr. Law- rence?"
hvd.32044080916273	It is his. ” “ Can you be positive about that?"
hvd.32044080916273	It terrifies me to think of Mr. Lawrence being actually in jail, but — they will have to let him go, wo n't they?
hvd.32044080916273	It took you the longest time to find out I was here, did n't it?
hvd.32044080916273	It was all off. ” “ What did Mr. Lawrence say? ” “ Not much.
hvd.32044080916273	It was for Miss Wolcott, was n't it? ” Hunt's surprised look gave confirmation, though his habit of discretion prevented a verbal assent.
hvd.32044080916273	It was not she. ” “ But — if it was? ” Lawrence walked back and forth thoughtfully.
hvd.32044080916273	Just that? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044080916273	Just what did it mean?
hvd.32044080916273	Lawrence?"
hvd.32044080916273	Lyon: “ An hour ago. ” Howell: “ How did you hear from her?"
hvd.32044080916273	Miss Elliott would think it was enough! ” “ But what made you run so?
hvd.32044080916273	Now do you know when she went away?".
hvd.32044080916273	Now do you understand why I am happy?
hvd.32044080916273	Now, can you remember when it was that you put them in there?
hvd.32044080916273	Now, do you know, yourself, what Lawrence was doing that night? ” “ No."
hvd.32044080916273	Now, do you think that is a proper way for a young woman to treat her el- ders?
hvd.32044080916273	Now, have you any suggestions as to how that interview can be arranged without notice to the public and without any chance of a slip- up?"
hvd.32044080916273	Now, how soon can I see Mrs. Broughton?"
hvd.32044080916273	Now, what I want to know is, where did that letter come from? ” “ That I ca n't tell yet.
hvd.32044080916273	Now, what bearing, so far as you know, does this have upon the case?"
hvd.32044080916273	Now, who was the girl?
hvd.32044080916273	Now, why did she go?
hvd.32044080916273	Oh, do you think I could have laid my whole heart bare to you as I have done to- night if I were not through with all that false claim?
hvd.32044080916273	Or a week?
hvd.32044080916273	Or will you hide that unworthy side of your thought and let her see the love that you really feel? ” Broughton's face darkened.
hvd.32044080916273	Our old man has some stock in the furni- ture concern, so I gave him all the information I could. ” “ What accounts did he ask about?
hvd.32044080916273	Rules always make me want to go right to work to break them, just to see if I can. ” “ And can you? ” he asked, with interest.
hvd.32044080916273	She is better. ” Howell: “ How do you know? ” Lyon: “ Miss Kittie tells me she is better."
hvd.32044080916273	She never knew I was n't learning the names of the Roman em- perors, horrid old things, all the time. ” “ But, Kittie, is that all?
hvd.32044080916273	She wants you to come at once to see Mrs. Broughton. ” “ That you, Lyon?"
hvd.32044080916273	She was one of Miss Elli- ott's first pupils. ” “ Then she knows the house and yard, pretty well?"
hvd.32044080916273	She wore a veil. ” “ Did you notice anything else about her or her dress?"
hvd.32044080916273	She's getting old, — but that is n't a crime, is it?
hvd.32044080916273	Sperry, will you describe the appearance of the wound? ” “ It was a bruise rather than a wound.
hvd.32044080916273	Stay, was he so sure of that?
hvd.32044080916273	Suppose I had n't caught on? ” “ I know!
hvd.32044080916273	Suppose the woman who ran across the street was someone else? ”"Have you dared to tell — to hint —".
hvd.32044080916273	THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY 147 “ Did you ever try to recover the letters?"
hvd.32044080916273	THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY 15 “ When and where did you see him before that evening?"
hvd.32044080916273	THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY 19 “ Was this spot wet when you picked the muf- fler up?"
hvd.32044080916273	THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY 195 “ Was her business of such a nature that she would have been likely to consult Fullerton about it?"
hvd.32044080916273	THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY 217"From whom? ” “ That terrible detective.
hvd.32044080916273	That explains, you think, this phrase? ” “ I am sure of it."
hvd.32044080916273	That may be —"she glanced inquiringly at Lyon — “ a few days?
hvd.32044080916273	That was Monday forenoon?"
hvd.32044080916273	That's what makes it worse. ” “ Makes what worse? ” “ Why, this that I'm going to tell you.
hvd.32044080916273	Then I came home and went in at the side door and up to my room. ” “ Do you know what time it was?"
hvd.32044080916273	There has been no chance for the real testimony, you know. ” “ Has gossip nothing to say on the subject?"
hvd.32044080916273	There is a lady visiting Miss Elliott"“ Oh, do you know her? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	There, do you see the two windows with the curtains clear up?
hvd.32044080916273	This was obviously in the ex- aminer's mind when he asked next, “ Was the overcoat buttoned when you came upon him?"
hvd.32044080916273	This woman could not run for a fire.. “ Is Miss Wolcott at home? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	To whom was it addressed?"
hvd.32044080916273	Was he himself an object of interest to someone connected with the case?
hvd.32044080916273	Was his sacrifice to be for nothing?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it an accident?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it as easy to get out as to get in?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it hereabouts?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it highway rob- bery?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it murder?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it possible that Miss Wolcott was going out, alone and unattended, at this hour?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it possible that he was trying to connect Miss Wolcott with the woman who had called upon Fullerton that evening and had gone out with him?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it possible that the statuesque Miss Wolcott could ever forget her- self in that Diana- like run?
hvd.32044080916273	Was it then possible that Lawrence had been right in his first suspicion that the fleeing woman was Edith Wolcott?
hvd.32044080916273	Was n't that girl you?"
hvd.32044080916273	Was she a- comin'to see Mr. Fullerton, too? ” “ Not that I know of.
hvd.32044080916273	Was the injunction needed, in the face of such self- control?
hvd.32044080916273	Was there an alley beyond or did this lot abut on the lot which faced on the next street south,- Locust?
hvd.32044080916273	Was there any other lady who came to see Mr. Fullerton that afternoon? ” “ No."
hvd.32044080916273	We should not outlive our children. ” “ Do you mean that you live here entirely alone with your granddaughter?
hvd.32044080916273	Well then, what can we do?"
hvd.32044080916273	Well, what did he do? ” “ Nothing, yet.
hvd.32044080916273	Were you surprised to find me gone when you returned?"
hvd.32044080916273	What bearing has it on this letter? ”"Perhaps none.
hvd.32044080916273	What do you make of it, anyhow?"
hvd.32044080916273	What foolish plan might she have in her mind now?
hvd.32044080916273	What for? ” “ She wanted to ask me something about the Fullerton case. ” “ Are you serious? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.32044080916273	What for? ” “ She wanted to ask me something about the Fullerton case. ” “ Are you serious? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.32044080916273	What have you been doing about the Lawrence case? ” “ I do n't know that I have been doing any- thing."
hvd.32044080916273	What have you discovered so far?"
hvd.32044080916273	What if it really proves that you are making a sacrifice which is not merely heroic but is unnecessary?
hvd.32044080916273	What in the world started her? ” Miss Elliott answered, dis- tractedly.
hvd.32044080916273	What in thunder did you mean by forcing yourself upon her in that way? ” “ I did n't.
hvd.32044080916273	What made you notice her, by the way?"
hvd.32044080916273	What more natural?
hvd.32044080916273	What more simple?
hvd.32044080916273	What of it? ” Olden had recovered himself, and he asked his question with an in- terest that seemed genuine, if somewhat cynical.
hvd.32044080916273	What of that? ”"It was enough to defeat the claim of deser- tion.
hvd.32044080916273	What was it that lay behind that shield?
hvd.32044080916273	What was up now?
hvd.32044080916273	What were the police good for, anyhow?
hvd.32044080916273	What's his name? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044080916273	When can I come in?"
hvd.32044080916273	When did they go?"
hvd.32044080916273	When the trial comes off, will there be any way of my knowing how it is go- ing? ”"It will be fully reported in the papers.
hvd.32044080916273	When were you there last?
hvd.32044080916273	When you came to Wayn- scott you went to Lawrence's office first, did n't you?
hvd.32044080916273	Where did that letter come from?
hvd.32044080916273	Where did you come from?"
hvd.32044080916273	Where were you go- ing? ” he asked, urgently.
hvd.32044080916273	Who would be likely to know of your letters?"
hvd.32044080916273	Why had he held back the natural impulse to speak his name?
hvd.32044080916273	Why had she said nothing of her intention when he left her an hour ago?
hvd.32044080916273	Why?"
hvd.32044080916273	Will you have something —?
hvd.32044080916273	Will you take up my card?
hvd.32044080916273	Woudn't it have been awful?
hvd.32044080916273	Would he give his hy- pothesis to the public?
hvd.32044080916273	Would it be possible for him to get a room in the neighborhood?
hvd.32044080916273	Would you be sure to know that? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	Would you like to have her come with you? ” She shook her head.
hvd.32044080916273	You are clear off the track, Howell. ” “ You admit, however, that she might have been made desperate?"
hvd.32044080916273	You are sure it was right there? ” “ There is n't any other place where I could poke them in, is there? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	You are sure it was right there? ” “ There is n't any other place where I could poke them in, is there? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	You can put some furniture into the bedroom, ca n't you?
hvd.32044080916273	You have heard nothing?"
hvd.32044080916273	You heard what Lawrence said about taking the trick?"
hvd.32044080916273	You see that?"
hvd.32044080916273	You think I'm safe to wait, then, a day or two?
hvd.32044080916273	You understand?"
hvd.32044080916273	— Because I suggested he was making love on his own account? ” Lyon felt that he had been trapped.
hvd.32044080916273	— Do you know who it is, officer? ” some one asked.
hvd.32044080916273	— How did you find that out?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Alone?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Although you have?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Am I likely to be summoned as a witness?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ And do you think it was proper for her to be out so late at night without saying anything to anyone in the house?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ And was that what you had been talking about when she had that attack? ” “ Yes, in general.
hvd.32044080916273	“ And what if I have? ” “ Why, you could let me in for half an hour. ”'“ What for should I do that?
hvd.32044080916273	“ And what if I have? ” “ Why, you could let me in for half an hour. ”'“ What for should I do that?
hvd.32044080916273	“ And will you know if she should suddenly show signs of departure? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ And you could send me a note? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ And you failed?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ And you think she was with him when Law- rence killed him? ” “ We are in hopes that she may be able to ex- plain what did actually happen.
hvd.32044080916273	“ And you told him?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Another letter for Miss Wolcott?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Are you going to write it up?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Are you strong enough to tell them your story, or shall I? ” asked Edith Wolcott, quietly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Based on what facts?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ But I may come and see you? ”"Only on Wednesdays.
hvd.32044080916273	“ But do they have the same sense of honor that we have?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ But in dark clothes or light?
hvd.32044080916273	“ But she was n't divorced at that time, was she? ” “ No, but she could have had a divorce when- ever she wanted it.
hvd.32044080916273	“ But what was it all about? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ But what was that other cane? ” “ Let us settle this first.
hvd.32044080916273	“ But — if I have to go right to jail?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ By the way, Mr. Lyon, how did you get into these rooms? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Ca n't you remember anything about her?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Can you describe her?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did Bede ask about any of them in particu- lar? ” he inquired by way of answering his own query.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did he know of your engagement to Fuller- ton? ” “ He never referred to it, but it is probable that he had heard of it.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did he not say, living or dead?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did the threat make any special impression on you at the time?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you come to see my granddaughter?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you ever speak of it to anyone?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you know him by sight? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Yet you did not recognize him?"."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you know him by sight? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Yet you did not recognize him?"."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you recognize the body as Mr. Fuller- ton? ” the county attorney asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you see Mr. Lawrence? ” “ No, not until I saw him in the crowd after- wards."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you see any one on the street?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you see any one to speak to? ” “ I spoke to Officer Donohue as I was coming back.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you wish me to make that suggestion to Mr. Lawrence?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Did you, really? ” Lyon exclaimed in sur- prise.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do people generally guess it?".
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you happen to have any reason for that assurance?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you happen to know anyone else in the neighborhood who does?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you know if Mr. Lawrence is out of town?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you know if Mrs. Broughton has been here before? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you see my flowers, old man? ” he cried jubilantly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you think I could go to them and explain that I had — had killed anybody?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you think that she cared for him still? ” demanded Lyon.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Do you think your uncle and aunt would consent to your coming to pay me a visit? ” “ They'd have to, ” said Kittie, calmly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Does the message convey any special meaning to you?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ For instance —? ” Bede asked politely.
hvd.32044080916273	“ For the public?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ For what?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Had that lady ever been here before? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Has Lawrence's name never been connected with a woman?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Has anything new come up?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Has he a good attorney?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Has she been ill? ” he asked with quick con- 176 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY cern, and then added lamely, “ She's a sort of cousin of mine."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Have n't you seen Lawrence to- day?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Have you any influence with him?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Have you lived in this house long?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Have you spoken of them yourself to anyone?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Have you told anybody else about Mr. Ful- lerton's visitor, Johnny?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ He said that, did he?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ He said that?
hvd.32044080916273	“ He was not so far away when I first saw him. ” “ Where was he when you first saw him?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Help me out, ca n't you?
hvd.32044080916273	“ How about Lawrence?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ How can I tell?
hvd.32044080916273	“ How did he come to get it? ” “ He came in in the morning and I told him what I had seen.
hvd.32044080916273	“ How do you know that they are traitorous?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ How interesting can you make yourself when II2 THE HEMLOCK AVENUE MYSTERY you really give your mind to it?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ How is your patient?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ How long have you been at school here, Kit- tie? ” “ I came last September.
hvd.32044080916273	“ How was he dressed, Kittie? ” “ Goodness!
hvd.32044080916273	“ I am sorry, — it is impossible. ” “ Do you mean that she has not yet returned? ” asked Lyon, gently.
hvd.32044080916273	“ I believe it was you who first identified the body? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044080916273	“ I do n't have such an order as that every day. ” “ Why, what was there unusual about it?".
hvd.32044080916273	“ I do n't think that he allows many men to exert an influence upon him. ” “ At any rate, you are a friend of his?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ I think quite particularly. ” “ How do you know? ” “ I merely guessed it, from a look I saw on his face once."
hvd.32044080916273	“ I understand that he has not killed the man yet?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ I was too far away to see. ” “ Did she wear a veil?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Ill as she was, with God knows what trouble on her mind and conscience, where can she have gone?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Indeed?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Instantaneously. ” “ Can you say how long the man had been dead? ” “ Not less than ten minutes.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Is it about Mr. Law- rence?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Is it possible that he will attach any significance to Miss Wolcott's purchase of a soporific on the fatal 25th?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Is n't it possible that he is withholding noth- ing, — that there is nothing to withhold?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Is n't she perfectly beautiful?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Is this your New Orleans cane, — the one you told me about? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Is your mistress at home?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ It certainly seems to be. ” “ Would you swear to it?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ It was a little before ten? ” She nodded, her eyes dancing with suppressed mischief, though she drew her lips down like a fair penitent.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Lawrence admires her, does he? ” he said, with a curious deliberation.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Lawrence?
hvd.32044080916273	“ May I ask why, you extraordinary man? ” “ Because the one and only person has accepted my suggestion in regard to silence so sweetly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ May I have this room?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Might I look over the building? ” he asked as Miss Elliott responded to his last question with a somewhat chill bow.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Might I see the other room?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Miss Kittie? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Miss Wolcott, you remember that Lawrence called on you that Sunday before the tragedy? ” She looked startled.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Nor his lawyer, Howell?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Not Arthur Lawrence, for instance?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Not even if she should prove to be the woman who ran across the street? ”."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Now see here, Lyon, do n't you think you are crowding things a little?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Oh, it's upstairs, is it?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Oh, you told Arthur Lawrence?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Or any of the girls?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Or in the forenoon or in the evening?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Or perhaps you would like this better?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Pardon me, may I give you the message before you say anything more?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Particularly?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Really?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Remember anything else he asked about? ” “ No.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Responsibility? ” “ I mean in the way of influencing public opin- ion."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Sent for you?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Shall I telephone for Dr. Barry? ” he whis- pered, when Miss Elliott had come and taken the still sobbing woman in her arms.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Should you say that it was the mark of a heavy blow?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ The curtain is down, — have you seen?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Then did you go out again, later?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Then why do n't you forbid it? ” fished Lyon with curiosity."
hvd.32044080916273	“ Then you stood still, practically, while he walked a block?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Then you think you have identified the young lady? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Therefore, to return to the question of the coat,"he continued, “ it is pretty clear that he must have turned it himself. ” “ But why?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ To find out what hold this man Lawrence has upon her,- to kill him, per- haps,-"“ Lawrence?
hvd.32044080916273	“ To your family?".
hvd.32044080916273	“ Tomorrow? ” she hesitated.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Was Mr. Fullerton in the habit of using this paper? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Was that why he was so anxious I should say nothing?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Was the light sufficiently bright to enable you to see clearly?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Was there any one else on the street? ” “ I saw no one except the girl who ran across Hemlock Avenue, of whom Mr. Lyon spoke."
hvd.32044080916273	“ We were not friendly. ” “ When did you speak to him last?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Well, are n't you assuming it to be Lawrence? ” he asked bluntly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Well, what do you make of it?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Well?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Well? ” he said curtly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What are some of the rules of the school? ” That was a point on which he particularly wished to post himself.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What could she possibly know about that?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did he say?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did he tell her?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did he want it for? ” “ Dunno.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did she tell you? ” “ Oh, she has talked about him a great deal.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did you do with it?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did you do with it?".
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did you tell him about these two? ” he asked thoughtfully.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What did you tell him? ” “ Told him they were Dr. Barry's prescrip- tions.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do people generally gossip about? ” “ Their friends, do n't they?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do people generally gossip about? ” “ Their friends, do n't they?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you expect to get out of his empty rooms? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you know about my patient?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you mean? ” asked Broughton.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you mean? ” gasped Broughton, too bewildered by this new manner to really grasp Lyon's words.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you mean? ” he demanded in a threatening undertone, with an apprehensive glance at the door.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you mean? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What do you mean? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What else did she say to you? ” Kittie reflected.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What ex- planation do you suggest for my cane being where it was?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What frightened you?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What have you been doing to- day?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What made you connect her with Lawrence in any way? ” “ I told you that it was a letter that came from Waynscott that first upset her.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What makes you ask?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What makes you think I am assuming it was Lawrence?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What scrape has my most respectable land- een getting into, that he needs legal advice? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What time did she come? ” John brightened into positiveness.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What was it all about? ” “ What will Fullerton do?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What was it all about? ” “ What will Fullerton do?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What was the nature of your conversation at that time?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ What was your plan?
hvd.32044080916273	“ What were they like? ” “ Why, just fur."
hvd.32044080916273	“ What will this day bring forth? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What would be the use? ” asked Lyon, lightly.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What's up? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ What's up? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044080916273	“ When did she come?
hvd.32044080916273	“ When does the train leave? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080916273	“ When you heard the policeman's whistle, did you go at once to the spot? ” “ No, I paid no attention to it at first.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Where had you been, Kittie?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Where have you been this evening? ” “ Calling on a young lady! ” Olden looked up sharply.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Where was he?".
hvd.32044080916273	“ Where would she be likely to go?
hvd.32044080916273	“ While I was farther up on Hemlock Avenue I noticed a woman running across the street. ” “ How was she dressed?".
hvd.32044080916273	“ Who is the man?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Who sent them? ” asked Lyon suspiciously.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Who told you that?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Why did n't you tell me, Grace?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Why do you ask that?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Why does she disappear, as soon as she knows that Bede has connected her with the af- fairs of that night? ” Broughton walked the floor.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Why must we? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Why not ask her? ” he said.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Why? ” “ He came in a few days ago and asked for Lawrence.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Will she be able to see me? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would I? ” gasped Kittie.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would it be possible for me to look at the record? ” “ I have the papers right here, as it happens,"the clerk answered.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would the rules of the school permit you to go out for a walk with me?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would there be any objection to my taking my cousin out for a walk?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would you have noticed it, without fail?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would you know the lady if you saw her again? ” “ If she wore the same clothes, I might,"'Dono- hue answered somewhat doubtfully.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Would you meet her with accusation, doubt, and coldness?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes, I am a good deal of a stranger yet. ” “ What is your name, may I ask?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes, she did! ” “ What kind of a watch was it?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes, sir, I remember all about her. ” “ Did you know who she was? ”.
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes, — but are they facts?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes. ” “ Did he forget his cane here when he left?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes. ” “ Did you see him examine the body? ” “ I did not see him touch it. ” “ Was he near enough to identify the body?
hvd.32044080916273	“ Yes. ” “ Did you see him examine the body? ” “ I did not see him touch it. ” “ Was he near enough to identify the body?
hvd.32044080916273	“ You are quite right as to that, though I think you are quite wrong as to other things. ” “ What other things?"
hvd.32044080916273	“ You are sure? ” “ Oh, yes, quite sure.
hvd.32044080916273	“ You did n't see him?
hvd.32044080916273	“ You do n't ask with whom we have identified her?
hvd.32044080916273	“ You had passed the corner of Sherman Street a few minutes before?
hvd.32044080916273	“ You have nothing to tell me? ” Broughton asked, though his tone showed he expected noth- ing.
hvd.32044080916273	“ You know it, then? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044080916273	“ You mean he makes love to every pretty woman he knows? ”"Oh, no, not so bad as that.
hvd.32044080916273	“ You received this yesterday? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044080916273	“ You say — what do you mean?"
hvd.32044080916273	” “ Probably. ” “ Then is that all settled? ” Kittie threw her arms around her.
hvd.hn5nyv	142 THE LONG ARM OF MANNISTER “ Supposing you wake her? ” Mannister asked.
hvd.hn5nyv	256 THE LONG ARM OF MANNISTER “ Where is your wife? ” Mannister asked.
hvd.hn5nyv	258 THE LONG ARM OF MANNISTER “ She was ill, then?

hvd.hn5nyv	A WOMAN INTERVENES 175 “ At what hour, Monsieur, ” she asked, “ will you call for me?

hvd.hn5nyv	As for you, you had better go back to England. ” “ How can I? ” Polsover exclaimed bit- terly.
hvd.hn5nyv	Because from that day to this she never even suffered her fingers to rest in my hand. ” “ Where is she?
hvd.hn5nyv	But before I draw that line you must pay. ” “ Have n't I paid?

hvd.hn5nyv	Dick Polsover, eh?
hvd.hn5nyv	Did he speak to you?
hvd.hn5nyv	Did n't you think so?
hvd.hn5nyv	Do n't you agree with me, Hambledon?

hvd.hn5nyv	Do you believe me? ” Her hands rested upon his very softly.

hvd.hn5nyv	Do you think it good enough?

hvd.hn5nyv	Eh what?

hvd.hn5nyv	“ There were seven of the others who were in it. ” “ The names of the other seven?
hvd.hn5nyv	“ To whom? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Was it to tell me this, ” he asked, “ that you sent for me?
hvd.hn5nyv	“ We are not waiting for the lady, sir? ” AT THE END OF THE JOURNEY 251 Mannister shook his head, and the car swept on.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Well?

hvd.hn5nyv	“ What about it?"
hvd.hn5nyv	“ What are you going to do? ” Mrs. De la Mere faced him coldly.

hvd.hn5nyv	“ When are you going to take your report in to the office?"
hvd.hn5nyv	“ When do you suppose this opportunity will come? ” “ To- night! ” she whispered in his ear.

hvd.hn5nyv	“ Where on earth are we going to here?"
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Which shall it be, Mannister, you or the girl?
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Who was the new man out on the big bay, Jack?
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Whose turn is it next?"
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Why did she refuse to marry you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Why do we waste our time at Ranelagh and Richmond? ” he remarked.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Why should I give myself away?"
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Why, is that you, Mannister? ” he added, with a determined attempt to regain his self- possession.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Why?
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Will you drink port or whiskey and soda? ” “ Neither, thanks, just now,"Runder- mere answered.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ Will you have some wine? ” Hambledon drank a glass off greedily.

hvd.hn5nyv	“ You do n't mean this, Mannister? ” Polsover stammered.
hvd.hn5nyv	“ You mean Colin Stevens?
hvd.hn5nyv	“ You mean that, ” he repeated, “ after all these years?"
hvd.hn5nyv	“ You mean this? ” he asked.

hvd.32044021069323	But how can you believe in the devil?
hvd.32044021069323	But how did it come into a girls ’ school? ” “ I quite agree that it is most unsuitable.
hvd.32044021069323	But if you call me a liar 29 “ Oh no, no. ” “ D'you call me a coward then?
hvd.32044021069323	But still—“Why this touch of sentiment, Lomas? ” said he.
hvd.32044021069323	But thank God it's not the Archduke, anyway. ” “ Why? ” said Reggie, who was without reverence for Archdukes.
hvd.32044021069323	But the concussion?
hvd.32044021069323	But the shirt?
hvd.32044021069323	But this — it is appalling. ” “ The Archduchess was out in her motor- car to- night? ” Sir Lawson said.
hvd.32044021069323	But this — must we think it? ” “ We have to think of nothing but our duty to our patient, ” said Sir Lawson.
hvd.32044021069323	But what are you talking about?
hvd.32044021069323	But what did he know?
hvd.32044021069323	But who is he? ” “ We call him Bunco in the force, ” said the Su- perintendent meekly.
hvd.32044021069323	But why kill him now more than before?
hvd.32044021069323	But why the devil did he call himself Rand? ” “ What was he? ” said Reggie sharply.
hvd.32044021069323	But why the devil did he call himself Rand? ” “ What was he? ” said Reggie sharply.
hvd.32044021069323	But why this dramatic exit?
hvd.32044021069323	But you know we've missed some- thing, Bell. ” “ Have we, indeed, sir?
hvd.32044021069323	By God, it's maddening! ” “ Whom do you suspect? ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	By the way, Gordon, who is Ford? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044021069323	By the way, Lomas, I suppose the old boy was stabbed ” “ What?
hvd.32044021069323	By the way, what is your opin- ion? ” Superintendent Bell smiled slowly.
hvd.32044021069323	By the way, who's in the house? ” “ The Archduchess, of course — ” “ Ianthe.
hvd.32044021069323	Can you do anything? ” Reggie shrugged.

hvd.32044021069323	Did yotl find anything here? ” Reggie held out his match.
hvd.32044021069323	Did you notice Mr. Nastitch's left hand? ” The detectives looked at each other.
hvd.32044021069323	Discretion, then, you understand, my good friend. ” “ I ’ll telephone to Sir Lawson at once. ” “ Indeed?

hvd.32044021069323	Do you know one reason why many fellows get murdered?
hvd.32044021069323	Do you nean I murdered him? ” “ Preserve absolute calm, ” said Reggie Fortune.

hvd.32044021069323	Do you sup- pose he's got one? ”- “ He ’d never think of such a thing. ” “ Make him have Moss and Gordon.
hvd.32044021069323	Do you want us to advertise for Kimball's wet nurse? ” “ And his sisters and his cousins and his aunts.
hvd.32044021069323	Do you?

hvd.32044021069323	Eh, Radnor? ” “ Sure, ” said Radnor Hall, who was watching Reggie closely.
hvd.32044021069323	Ever tried killing anybody with scissors, Inspector?
hvd.32044021069323	Ever try it? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	Fortune, I think? ” He smiled all over his face.
hvd.32044021069323	Fortune, what will my mother do? ” “ What shall we all do? ” Reggie laughed.
hvd.32044021069323	Fortune, what will my mother do? ” “ What shall we all do? ” Reggie laughed.

hvd.32044021069323	Good- looking fellow, is he? ” “ Oh yes.
hvd.32044021069323	Handsome creature, is n't she? ”- “ Yes, sir. ” Reggie declined to be amused.
hvd.32044021069323	Hang it, man, the family doctor and the divisional surgeon they ought to know if there's a hole in him or not. ” “ But why — why?
hvd.32044021069323	Have you put Lady Lunt's back up?
hvd.32044021069323	Have you seen his papers? ” “ Better come up to the house, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	He had a pistol in his hand. ” “ Do you want me to believe he shot himself? ” Reggie frowned.
hvd.32044021069323	He was a bad egg, do n't you know?
hvd.32044021069323	He was some gambler. ” “ Any names? ” Lomas said quickly.
hvd.32044021069323	He's a dark horse, ai n't he?

hvd.32044021069323	How surprising! ” “ She is surprising, sir. ” “ What?
hvd.32044021069323	I ask you, why the Basingstoke Canal? ” Lomas and his Superintendent looked at each other.
hvd.32044021069323	I believe that in a few hours the patient will be able to speak. ” “ To speak?
hvd.32044021069323	I could fancy Sand- ford — what's the use?
hvd.32044021069323	I feel this is all wrong. ” “ Well, sir, the evidence is thin, very thin. ” “ Evidence?
hvd.32044021069323	I never dreamed in my life till now. ” “ What sort of dreams? ” “ Oh, any old sort.
hvd.32044021069323	I say, Fortune, how did you know that? ” “ Genius, just genius.
hvd.32044021069323	I suppose he really was stabbed? ” “ You will harp on that.
hvd.32044021069323	I suppose it is n't surprising he used two names. ” “ Why was he murdered? ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	I suppose you ca n't help us? ” “ I am bewildered.
hvd.32044021069323	I suppose you knew him well, doctor? ” “ An old patient, Mr. Fortune.
hvd.32044021069323	I thought the two of them were putting me off. ” “ So you went straight back to town? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044021069323	I want to know — has it occurred to you — the Archduchess and the Archduke Leopold — working it together?
hvd.32044021069323	I wonder who his money goes to? ” “ What the devil do you mean? ” Geoffrey cried.
hvd.32044021069323	I wonder who his money goes to? ” “ What the devil do you mean? ” Geoffrey cried.
hvd.32044021069323	I wonder why ou wanted me, doctor? ” “ I ’m frightened of your inspector.

hvd.32044021069323	If a fellow had a pistol ready to use, why bash the beg- gar?
hvd.32044021069323	In the night one of the mistress's rooms had been turned upside down. ” “ Do they rag much at girls'schools? ” Reggie yawned.
hvd.32044021069323	Is all the linen marked? ” It was, and with ink, so that the mark could only be removed by taking out a piece of the stuff.
hvd.32044021069323	Is it not, Mr. Fortune? ” “ Why ca n't you hold your tongue? ” Geoffrey snarled at her, and turned to glare at Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	Is it not, Mr. Fortune? ” “ Why ca n't you hold your tongue? ” Geoffrey snarled at her, and turned to glare at Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	Is there anything you really want to tell me? ” “ I never want to see you again. ” “ Geoffrey! ” his wife protested.
hvd.32044021069323	Is there anything you'd like to tell me, doctor? ” “ Nice flowers, are n't they? ” Reggie nodded to the rose- bed under Birdie Bolton's window.

hvd.32044021069323	Is your mind capable of receivin'a thought?
hvd.32044021069323	It is serious, then? ” “ It ’s a bad concussion. ” Reggie bowed and made for the door.
hvd.32044021069323	It may be something unpleasant. ” “ Good gracious, Mr. Fortune, what do you sug- gest? ” Miss Lomas was rather excited than alarmed.
hvd.32044021069323	It takes'em that way sometimes. ” “ Has anybody ever shown any interest in Melchiz- edek? ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	It was in Cranford's rooms. ” “ A Smith- Southron.38?
hvd.32044021069323	It ’s as if she'd given me a soul, you know. ” “ Did you tell your father that? ” “ It was she made me write to my father again.
hvd.32044021069323	It's quite clear, what?
hvd.32044021069323	Jolly day, is n't it? ” he bustled.
hvd.32044021069323	Just wait, will you? ” And he went into the bathroom on all fours.
hvd.32044021069323	Kimball had a stroke? ” “ It ’s what you might call anonymous, ” said the voice of the Superintendent.
hvd.32044021069323	Lady Lunt stood to gain most by the death — or per- haps Radnor Hall — what were her relations with Radnor Hall?
hvd.32044021069323	Let's make the best of it. ” “ Will you stop the car? ” Geoffrey said loudly, and stood up.
hvd.32044021069323	Like that fellow in the Bible who had no ancestors — Melchizedek, was it?
hvd.32044021069323	Like the young things in THE HOTTENTOT VENUS I63 Homer, what?
hvd.32044021069323	Lying on his face, I suppose? ” “ No, sir.

hvd.32044021069323	Mere quixotry?
hvd.32044021069323	Mr. Fortune said, “ Help! ” “ Had a good time? ” said Lomas cheerily.
hvd.32044021069323	Mr. Fortune, you will help us? ” “ Who in creation is the lucky man? ” “ His name is Vernon Cranford.

hvd.32044021069323	No?
hvd.32044021069323	No?
hvd.32044021069323	No?
hvd.32044021069323	No?
hvd.32044021069323	None of them heard anything? ” “ No, sir; that's queer, to be sure. ” “ It happened the night of the blizzard.
hvd.32044021069323	Notice anything? ” “ No, sir, I wish I had.
hvd.32044021069323	Now I ask you_ what would you have done? ” “ Oh, I ’m not in the force. ” “ We do have to be so careful, ” the Superintendent sighed.
hvd.32044021069323	Now how did you know about Cranford? ” “ Sorry, Lomas.
hvd.32044021069323	Now you see your way, do n't you?
hvd.32044021069323	Now, is there anything new? ” “ Oh, go to the devil! ” “ Geoffrey! ” Lucia, standing behind him, touched his shoulder.
hvd.32044021069323	Oh, do you think I can be mad? ” Reggie shook his head.
hvd.32044021069323	Oh, is that you, Bell?
hvd.32044021069323	Or has she put up yours? ” “ Oh, best to have a free hand, do n't you know?
hvd.32044021069323	Or has she put up yours? ” “ Oh, best to have a free hand, do n't you know?

hvd.32044021069323	Or is there a traitor in my camp?
hvd.32044021069323	Or was it too hot for him?
hvd.32044021069323	Or why else?
hvd.32044021069323	Outside in their car, “ What's the verdict, doctor? ” Gordon said.
hvd.32044021069323	Perhaps?
hvd.32044021069323	Plays a bit, spends a bit — nothing more. ” “ Oh, he wanted money — did he? ” “ My dear Fortune, you're right off the wicket.
hvd.32044021069323	Pretty clear, sir, is n't it? ” “ I suppose so, ” said Reggie drearily.
hvd.32044021069323	Queer case. ” “ I suppose the old man had n't a lurid past? ” Lomas shook his head.
hvd.32044021069323	Rather beyond you, is n’t it? ” “ Well, I've not made up my mind, ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	Remember that face? ” “ Oh, I said he was mad. ” “ Well, I'm not yet.
hvd.32044021069323	Seems to be a quiet street where you live. ” “ Vinton Place — it ’s a little cul- de- sac. ” “ It was dark when he left?
hvd.32044021069323	Shall I be present, sir? ” said Hilda, with a dangerous meekness.
hvd.32044021069323	So Lady Lunt's not satisfied with the police? ” “ No, by Jove, she is n't.
hvd.32044021069323	So Scotland Yard is n't so mighty cock- sure. ” “ Did Lomas seem so?
hvd.32044021069323	So forcible. ” “ Including the arrest of Miss Weston? ” Reggie asked.
hvd.32044021069323	So it was Eton and Oxford for Geoffrey, I2O CALL MR. FORTUNE Damn it, man, what do you mean?
hvd.32044021069323	So there's not much doubt about the cause of death, what?
hvd.32044021069323	So you're dropping the Mozambique copper claim, Cranford? ” “ Lady Lunt offered to turn it over to me.
hvd.32044021069323	Some tea, yes? ” And Reggie was saying to himself.
hvd.32044021069323	Somebody wanted some- body's photograph. ” “ But why?
hvd.32044021069323	Something in that, do n't you think?

hvd.32044021069323	Spoleto- that little actress? ” “ Here's the traitor, sir. ” Reggie took out of his pocket the Hottentot Venus.

hvd.32044021069323	Thanks very much! ” “ Well, are you satisfied? ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	That was a little odd, was n't it? ” Reggie nodded at the door by which Herbert had gone Out.
hvd.32044021069323	That would be about nine? ”- “ Yes, yes.
hvd.32044021069323	That's a blunder, what?

hvd.32044021069323	The Archduke's valet. ” “ You undressed him? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	Then I hear a noise and wake up and there is n't any noise. ” “ Do you have this every night? ” “ Snakes!
hvd.32044021069323	Then she put the dagger down, so the gifted detective could find it, and went back to dinner. ” “ It is silly, is n't it? ” Lomas grinned.

hvd.32044021069323	Victor Lunt?
hvd.32044021069323	Was n't it a shame?
hvd.32044021069323	Was that Dr. Fortune?
hvd.32044021069323	Was that wrong? ” “ Depends how you did it. ” Reggie began his examination.

hvd.32044021069323	Well, Lomas, old thing? ” “ I suppose you're playing some hand of your own, ” Lomas frowned.

hvd.32044021069323	What Was it? ” “ We may n't ever know that, ” said Reggie slowly.
hvd.32044021069323	What about Cousin Her- bert? ” Dr. Newton laughed.
hvd.32044021069323	What are you at, anyway?
hvd.32044021069323	What did Reggie think of the case?
hvd.32044021069323	What did you make of this? ” Barnes came to look.
hvd.32044021069323	What do you mean? ” “ You know all right, ” said the Superintendent.
hvd.32044021069323	What evidence have you, Lomas, old thing? ” “ You just put the case yourself, ” said Lomas, with some irritation.
hvd.32044021069323	What gave Cousin Herbert cold feet yesterday? ” Superintendent Bell coughed.
hvd.32044021069323	What have they got you for now, old thing? ” The man scowled.
hvd.32044021069323	What is her past, Bell? ” “ Pretty short, sir, anyway.
hvd.32044021069323	What was Rand, would you say?
hvd.32044021069323	What was his school? ” “ Well, now, it's rather odd you should ask that, sir, ” said Superintendent Bell.
hvd.32044021069323	What's making you anxious? ” “ Dreams, ” said Miss Bolton.
hvd.32044021069323	What's the connection, darling? ” The Hottentot Venus was naturally silent.
hvd.32044021069323	What's the good of that? ” “ As you say, ” the Superintendent agreed.
hvd.32044021069323	What's worrying you? ” “ And what evidence have you got? ” “ Ah, now reason resumes her sway.
hvd.32044021069323	What's worrying you? ” “ And what evidence have you got? ” “ Ah, now reason resumes her sway.
hvd.32044021069323	What?
hvd.32044021069323	What?
hvd.32044021069323	What? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044021069323	When did you ever see me prejudiced? ” “ Dear me, Mr. Fortune, I never heard you swear so much, ” said Bell sadly.
hvd.32044021069323	When he turned from the body and put a scrap of something in his pocket- book—“Well, what is it? ” Lomas said.
hvd.32044021069323	When is it to be? ” “ Lomas, old thing, you're not only bland, you ’re obvious.
hvd.32044021069323	Where do I come in? ” “ Why, I do n't quite see my way through it.
hvd.32044021069323	Where is he? ” “ Woking.
hvd.32044021069323	Where's the will?
hvd.32044021069323	Which did you say was Alice? ” “ That is Miss Warenne. ” Miss Lomas pointed with her sunshade to two girls arm in arm.
hvd.32044021069323	Who is Sandford — what is he, that all the world do n't love him? ” Reggie asked.
hvd.32044021069323	Who is Sandford, what is he, that such queer things hap- pen round him? ” “ I do n't know so much about queer, sir, ” said Superintendent Bell.
hvd.32044021069323	Who the devil was Rand?
hvd.32044021069323	Who the devil was Rand?
hvd.32044021069323	Who was Mason, and why did somebody kill him? ” Kimball made one of his jerky gestures.
hvd.32044021069323	Who was somebody?
hvd.32044021069323	Who's the THE HOTTENTOT VENUS 159 quaint savant that gives them to a schoolgirl to play with?
hvd.32044021069323	Who's to pay for him?
hvd.32044021069323	Why did Geoffrey want to give up the money?
hvd.32044021069323	Why did anybody kill the old man?
hvd.32044021069323	Why did n't you ask for me?
hvd.32044021069323	Why did they assault her and her husband?
hvd.32044021069323	Why do n't you think of things beforehand? ” Superintendent Bell was startled out of his wonted composure.
hvd.32044021069323	Why not in the house?
hvd.32044021069323	Why should he bolt now? ” “ There is another unknown quantity somewhere, ” Reggie admitted.
hvd.32044021069323	Why should they drug themselves and not drug Birdie?
hvd.32044021069323	Why so blue? ” Reggie sat up.
hvd.32044021069323	Why will they grow up, Miss Lomas?
hvd.32044021069323	Why?
hvd.32044021069323	Why? ” Nurse Dauntsey was startled.
hvd.32044021069323	Why? ” “ I thought it was a plant.
hvd.32044021069323	Will you listen now? ” “ Go on, sir. ” Victor Lunt mopped his face, tried to speak, and stuttered.
hvd.32044021069323	Will you ring for the lift, inspector? ” When he was left alone with Bell, he still gazed dreamily at that plump, stolid face.
hvd.32044021069323	Without prejudice — what's your line? ” “ Seek not to proticipate. ” Reggie smiled.
hvd.32044021069323	Women carry off these things better than men, do n't you know? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.32044021069323	Wonder where she kept her will? ” “ There's a safe in the bedroom, I think, ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	Would I go to Albert?
hvd.32044021069323	Would she run out and stab him in the street?
hvd.32044021069323	Would you like a photograph of Sir Albert? ” “ Go away, Sam. ” Reggie waved at him.
hvd.32044021069323	You THE SLEEPING COMPANION 49 dined with Miss Bolton last night alone?
hvd.32044021069323	You amuse yourself? ” It was the Comte de Spoleto.
hvd.32044021069323	You are content? ” “ If I had a razor and a clean shirt, ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	You have something to tell me? ” “ There is no change, sir. ” “ No change yet!
hvd.32044021069323	You reached the house between 12 and 12.30?
hvd.32044021069323	You would n't say I was sentimental, would you?
hvd.32044021069323	You would n't take me for an innocent?
hvd.32044021069323	You'll come right on?
hvd.32044021069323	You're obstructing me in 95 “ Is it possible? ” Reggie drawled.
hvd.32044021069323	You've got your man. ” “ Have I? ” Lomas put up his eyeglass.
hvd.32044021069323	You've made up your mind? ” Barnes cried.
hvd.32044021069323	You've noticed that? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	Your fellows will have found her and brought her round. ” “ The car, sir? ” the Archduke said, and Lomas put up his eyeglass.
hvd.32044021069323	“ All goes well, doctor? ” “ I begin to think so. ” “ I must not delay you.
hvd.32044021069323	“ All quite natural now, is n't it? ” “ My dear fellow, you knew it all and you knew it right.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Alone? ” said Reggie, with his eye on Nurse Dauntsey.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Am I de trop, as the French say? ” said superintendent Bell.
hvd.32044021069323	“ And the next thing, sir? ” said he.
hvd.32044021069323	“ And what did you do next, Mrs. Betts? ” “ I had nothing touched, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ And what might you be doing now, if you please? ” said the inspector, with constabulary sar- CaSIT1.
hvd.32044021069323	“ And who is the magnificent creature? ” “ Hilda Crowland?
hvd.32044021069323	“ And who is the magnificent creature? ” “ Hilda Crowland?
hvd.32044021069323	“ And you THE NICE GIRL 99 were asking me to find out who murdered Sir Albert? ” “ No, I was n't, ” Lady Lunt flashed at him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Any objection?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Any questions? ” He looked at the lawyers.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Any- thing strike you about it, Bell? ” “ Looks new, sir. ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Anything in particular occur to you, gentlemen? ” “ Quite straightforward, I think. ” The divisional surgeon shrugged.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Anything queer, sir? ” “ There's that, ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Anything you suggest? ” “ How does it strike Superintendent Bell? ” “ Looks like a bad case, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Anything you suggest? ” “ How does it strike Superintendent Bell? ” “ Looks like a bad case, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Are you free to tell me, Mr. Fortune?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Are you in this, sir? ” The Inspector turned on him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Are you justifying the murder? ” said counsel for the Crown.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Believe in ghosts, you men? ” “ Good Lord, sir, do n't you start giving us the jumps! ” said Bell.
hvd.32044021069323	“ But I thought I was to see Mr. Charlecote. ” “ Did you though?
hvd.32044021069323	“ But it would n't hang a yellow dog. ” “ Do you think I do n't know that? ” Lomas cried.
hvd.32044021069323	“ But there it is, do n't you know? ” “ I do n't know, ” said Reggie Fortune.
hvd.32044021069323	“ But what language is it? ” she protested.
hvd.32044021069323	“ But why?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Ca n't we have her covered up? ” “ I ’ll have the body removed, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Can you identify, gentlemen? ” Mordan said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Coat?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Come on, Lomas, all aboard'Are we downhearted?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Curious features, what?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Darker and darker, sir, is n't it? ” “ Changeable weather, ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Did you ever want to marry, Fortune? ” he murmured.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Did you get to Seville? ” “ Oh, Peter, do n't say things like that.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Did- she really? ” Miss Weston had forgotten to tell him that.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Do n’t you telephone or I'll scrag you. ” “ Telephone?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Do you really wish me to take this tale seriously, Mr. Fortune?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Do you remember — in the Charlecote murder — you backed Herbert both ways?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Do you want to see me blush, Mr. Fortune? ” But she took another.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Doc- tor, are n't you? ” he laughed ruefully.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Does my mother know about this? ” she broke out at last.
hvd.32044021069323	“ English? ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Fascinatin', is n't she? ” “ It seems to me childish or disgusting, Mr. For- tune, ” Miss Lomas snapped at him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Five miles from nowhere?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Get me some warm water, will you? ” Holt went out of the room.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Ghastly, is n't it? ” he said with sympathy.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Going to the in- quest?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Good God, did he throw himself out? ” Lomas cried.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Got any- thing to tell me? ” “ I ’ve been rather disappointed, ” the Superintend- ent said meekly.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Have they had a scrap? ” Reggie smiled to him- self.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Have you a fire, Barnes — a large fire?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Have you made arrangements to leave England, sir? ” Lomas said sharply.
hvd.32044021069323	“ He was preparing an injection of strychnine for his patient. ” “ Hallo, what's that? ” Reggie cried, and nodded at the window.
hvd.32044021069323	“ He — he will live? ” It was the most piteous cry he had ever heard.
hvd.32044021069323	“ How can a man guess?
hvd.32044021069323	“ How can you say so?
hvd.32044021069323	“ How did the accident happen, Sir? ” IO CALL MR. FORTUNE The Archduke turned to his sister- in- law.
hvd.32044021069323	“ How do you know he'll come? ” “ Because he's just driven up in his car.
hvd.32044021069323	“ How?
hvd.32044021069323	“ I also am young 262 CALL MR. FORTUNE “ Really? ” Lomas was dim behind cigar smoke.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I am a great artist, sir, am I not? ” Hilda Crowland smiled at her.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I ca n't help you. ” “ That's all you can say? ” THE BUSINESS MINISTER 239 dear fellow, ” said Lomas.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I can play about in the park, I suppose?
hvd.32044021069323	“ I desire infinitely to thank you for the great pleasure which you have given me. ” “ How, sir?
hvd.32044021069323	“ I do n't know what you thought of Mr. Sandford, Mr. Lomas? ” “ More do I, Bell, ” said Lomas.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I do n't know whether to hope you can throw any light on this miserable affair, sir? ” Reggie shook his head.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I say, doctor — it is growing, is n't it? ” THE SLEEPING COMPANION 63 “ Oh, yes, as if it was forced, ” Reggie smiled.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I shall act in this case for Cranford. ”--- 96 CALL MR. FORTUNE “ Is that so? ” Radnor Hall rubbed his back hair.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I shall have to tell, doctor, sha n't I?
hvd.32044021069323	“ I suppose it is murder, sir? ” said Mrs. Betts in a tone that suggested she would like to have the hanging of Miss Weston.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I suppose we sha n’t finish to- day, gentlemen? ” the coroner suggested.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I thought you'd be on to this, do n't you know? ” Lomas said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I told her he was no better. ” “ Did she make a noise? ” Reggie frowned.
hvd.32044021069323	“ I wonder — you have no new woman in the flock?
hvd.32044021069323	“ I wondered what he wanted with half a dozen. ” “ What is it? ” Lomas muttered.
hvd.32044021069323	“ If the corpse is Rand, where the devil did his shirt come from? ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Is it possible?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Is she, though?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Is there anything more, Dr. Fortune? ” “ Dr.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Is there anything to which you'd like to draw my attention, gentlemen? ” “ It's a plain case, to my mind, ” said the divisional surgeon.
hvd.32044021069323	“ It grows, do n't it, sir?
hvd.32044021069323	“ It is serious then, Dr. Fortune?
hvd.32044021069323	“ It ’s the Lunt case. ” “ Now what in wonder have you to do with the Lunt case? ” Nurse Dauntsey blushed.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Just setting the stage, sir? ” said a voice from behind the curtain.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Killed, was he?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Like what, my dear? ” She stared at him and her lip quivered.
hvd.32044021069323	“ May I give you some more, Dr. Fortune?
hvd.32044021069323	“ May I go up, madame? ” Reggie said solemnly.
hvd.32044021069323	“ May I have five peaches, Mr. Fortune? ” “ I ’m sure you know what's good for you.
hvd.32044021069323	“ May I present Mr. Fortune, ma'am? ” Lomas put 111.
hvd.32044021069323	“ May I see the patient? ” The man laughed.
hvd.32044021069323	“ May Weston? ” He was more the po- liceman than ever.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Monsieur is a friend of yours, Alice? ” she said in English.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Nice girl, ai n't it?
hvd.32044021069323	“ No keys on the deceased were there, Mr. Fortune? ” said Bell suddenly.
hvd.32044021069323	“ No?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Now are you play- ing the game, doctor? ” said Superintendent Bell sadly.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Now, what do you want me for? ” “ Well, it's not so much me, though I'd like your opinion.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Of Lanca- shire?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Oh, Dr. Fortune, it is n't his fault. ” “ Young or old, rich or poor — what is he? ” “ Of course he's young.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Oh, Mr. Fortune, will you help me? ” She rushed at Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	“ On your oath — did you not go and meet your brother? ” Mr. Lunt( who had sat down) started up to deny it.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Pretty conclusive, what? ” Lomas shrugged.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Rather oily scents, are n't they? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Really? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Sam, who had that nightmare? ” “ That must be Colney Towers, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Sandford hanged himself in red tape?
hvd.32044021069323	“ She is a woman, is n't she? ” “ I think you might act on that theory.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Showy, is n't it, very showy? ” he complained.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Sleep rather sound, do n't you? ” “ Oh! ” She shuddered.
hvd.32044021069323	“ So he's pinched Miss Weston, has he? ” the little Jew lisped.
hvd.32044021069323	“ So why are you like this? ” “ Have n't you heard? ” she cried.
hvd.32044021069323	“ So why are you like this? ” “ Have n't you heard? ” she cried.
hvd.32044021069323	“ So you've made up your mind too, Mr. Lomas? ” Lomas blew smoke rings.
hvd.32044021069323	“ So ‘ N ’ stands for Newton, does it? ’ Lomas said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Some hog done him in? ” “ As you say, Gorton.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Taking the wrong side, are n't you? ” he sneered.
hvd.32044021069323	“ That is the prettiest compliment, is it not, M. the detective? ” “ If you think she has cheated me, she has not.
hvd.32044021069323	“ That puts the lid on, do n't it? ” said the little Jew.
hvd.32044021069323	“ That's between you and your conscience, is n't it? ” Reggie smiled.
hvd.32044021069323	“ That's nice, ai n't it, doctor?
hvd.32044021069323	“ That's what I resent. ” “ You mean, why the devil should he have it put in the bank?
hvd.32044021069323	“ They both hated me to meddle. ” “ Is that so? ” Reggie said dreamily.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Think that throws any light? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Very dis- turbin', is n't it?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Want to keep me under observation? ” Reggie grinned back.
hvd.32044021069323	“ We do n't get anywhere, sir, do we? ” the Super- intendent sympathized.
hvd.32044021069323	“ We ’ve missed something, do n't you see? ” “ And what have we missed, Reginald? ” Reggie pulled him up and looked at the ducks.
hvd.32044021069323	“ We ’ve missed something, do n't you see? ” “ And what have we missed, Reginald? ” Reggie pulled him up and looked at the ducks.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, Mr. Fortune? ” Sir Thomas took off his glasses and pursed his lips.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, Mr. Fortune? ” “ Well, madame, there will be no need of an op- eration. ” The Princess frowned at him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, doctor, any questions? ” “ I wonder what coat you were wearing, Mr. Cran- ford? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, doctor, any questions? ” “ I wonder what coat you were wearing, Mr. Cran- ford? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, have you done, doctor? ” the little Jew broke in.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, monsieur? ” Alice laughed at him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, sir? ” Miss Lomas was triumphant and disdainful.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, what is it now? ” Geoffrey growled.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Well, what is it? ” Reggie snarled.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What a life, ai n’t it? ” Mr. Gordon murmured in Reggie's ear.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What are you hinting at?
hvd.32044021069323	“ What clothes were you wearing? ” Mr. Lunt could not remem- ber.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What do you mean to do now? ” For Reggie sat silent looking at him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What do you mean? ” The Inspector flushed.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What do you want here, Mr. Fortune?
hvd.32044021069323	“ What do you want with me? ” The woman saw Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What do you want? ” She stared at Reggie heavily.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What is it? ” the man cried.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What is it? ” “ The Archduke has spoken, madame.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What is the charge, doctor? ” said Superinten- dent Bell.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What station?
hvd.32044021069323	“ What was he doing here, sir? ” “ Asking for mercy, ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What's that, sir?
hvd.32044021069323	“ What's the trouble, Gorton? ” Reggie said to the chauffeur.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What's the trouble? ” he said cheerfully.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What's the verdict? ” “ It's not all over yet! ” Reggie went downstairs.
hvd.32044021069323	“ What's wrong, Mrs. Betts? ” Reggie said.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Where are you taking us, doctor? ” said the Su- perintendent.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Where is he that knows, Lomas?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Where is that car? ” “ Your spies do not seem very good, Mr. Lomas.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Where will I begin? ” said he.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who is Hilda Crowland? ” “ Well, her mother is a widow and very well off, I believe.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who is the sportsman with the scratched face? ” Reggie said, as the door shut on him.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who was his papa?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who ’s slain now? ” “ It's my father. ” “ My dear chap!
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who's dead? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who's this, Superintendent? ” 58 CALL MR. FORTUNE “ I dare say it'll be for Miss Weston. ” “ Taking her to Holloway at once?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Who's this, Superintendent? ” 58 CALL MR. FORTUNE “ I dare say it'll be for Miss Weston. ” “ Taking her to Holloway at once?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Why did ou think he was the Archduke, Gorton? ” “ Such a big chap, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Why did you put him on to that, sir? ” said the Superintendent.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Why do I have dreams?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Why do you look at me like that? ” Reggie bent suddenly closer, and as suddenly sat up again.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Why the devil could n't you give it me? ” Lomas thrust by in a hurry.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Why try to bluff me?
hvd.32044021069323	“ Will he come? ” “ He'll come all right, ” Reggie said, and took off his coat.
hvd.32044021069323	“ Yes, where's the rest, Mordan? ” said Superin- tendent Bell.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You are not married, no? ” “ It becomes every day less probable, ” said Reggie grimly.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You do notice something, then? ” “ Of course we are n't gifted, sir.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You do n’t deny you THE NICE GIRL Io?
hvd.32044021069323	“ You gentlemen happen to recognize that? ” He opened his big hand and showed the ring with the big emerald which Birdie Bolton had loved.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You have no nerves, Fortune? ” “ I believe not, sir. ” “ This ought to be the making of you.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You have nurses you can trust?
hvd.32044021069323	“ You laid for him, did you?
hvd.32044021069323	“ You make yourself very busy, do n't you? ” The inspector glared.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You mean Cranford?
hvd.32044021069323	“ You remem- THE SLEEPING COMPANION 61 ber that emerald she always wore?
hvd.32044021069323	“ You ’ll tell this suicide story? ” “ Sure, ” said Reggie.
hvd.32044021069323	“ You ’ll want all the papers, sir? ” “ I suppose so! ” “ I ’m getting each edition as they come along, sir.
hvd.32044020033536	I want to know,Barrington continued impres- sively, “ what has induced you to accept a position with such a man as Seton?"
hvd.32044020033536	Your- ward? ” Lady Ruth said, gazing at her intently. hvd.32044020033536 'Are you satisfied with your first reverse, or are you going to renew the experiment? ”. hvd.32044020033536 . “ Doing your work, Aynesworth? ” he remarked coldly. hvd.32044020033536 . “ What about him?
hvd.32044020033536	130 THE MALEFACTOR “ Quite a comedy, is n't it? ” he remarked grimly.
hvd.32044020033536	146 THE MALEFACTOR “ Why not? ” he answered quietly.
hvd.32044020033536	28 THE MALEFACTOR"What about lunch?"
hvd.32044020033536	56 THE MALEFACTOR “ Where is he now? ” “ On his way to Japan."
hvd.32044020033536	Am I 266 THE MALEFACTOR in the way? ” she asked, looking wistfully towards Wingrave.
hvd.32044020033536	Am I anything to be ashamed of, that he will not trust me even with his name?
hvd.32044020033536	Am I boring you, Lovell? ” “ Not in the least!
hvd.32044020033536	Am I or the lady in question responsible for it?"
hvd.32044020033536	And the money — well, one can use that. ” “ But I thought — that you were rich?"
hvd.32044020033536	And then"“ Well, and then? ” Mademoiselle Violet looked at him thoughtfully.
hvd.32044020033536	And then? ” 38 THE MALEFACTOR “ There was nothing else,"Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Are n't you glad? ” “ No, I am not glad, ” she answered passionately.
hvd.32044020033536	Are n't you going out to ex- amine it?"
hvd.32044020033536	Are n't you rather neglecting your guests? ” “ Never mind my guests, ” she answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Are you a vain man, Wingrave?
hvd.32044020033536	Are you as cold as a stone?
hvd.32044020033536	Are you coming to America with me? ” “ I suppose so,"Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Are you going to help Barrington to make a fortune? ” Wingrave turned his head.
hvd.32044020033536	As regards yourself"“ Yes? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033536	Aynesworth, ” she exclaimed, “ did you ever see such a beautiful woman?
hvd.32044020033536	Aynesworth, ” she said, “ are you so poor that you must serve a man like that? ” He shook his head.
hvd.32044020033536	Because I am very sure that all the good that was in you lies slain. ” “ By whose hand? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.32044020033536	Benevolence, is n't it?
hvd.32044020033536	But can I win my way through? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	But now- what are you going to do with your life, now that wealth must even have lost its meaning to you?
hvd.32044020033536	But whose fault is it?
hvd.32044020033536	But you who remain- who can tell?
hvd.32044020033536	By the bye, you'd better go and ring up Walters. ” “ Do you wish the particulars entered in your sundry investment book? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	CHAPTER VI “ HAST THOU FOUND ME, O MINE ENEMY? ” AYNESWORTH was waiting in the hall on the following afternoon when Lady Ruth ar- rived.
hvd.32044020033536	CHAPTER XIII RICHARDSON TRIES AGAIN YOU saw — who that was? ” Lady Ruth's voice seemed to come from a greater distance.
hvd.32044020033536	Ca n't you imagine the horror of it?
hvd.32044020033536	Can I do anything to stop growing, Mr. Pengarth?
hvd.32044020033536	Can I do this even at the risk of a few difficulties at first?
hvd.32044020033536	Can I take my place in society under my own name, renew my old friendships and build up new ones?
hvd.32044020033536	Can you shoot?"
hvd.32044020033536	Can you spare me a few minutes? ” Richardson subsided into his chair.
hvd.32044020033536	Can you suggest anything yourself?
hvd.32044020033536	Could n't you forget it, and come back?
hvd.32044020033536	Could the closing of the eyes, indeed, make all the difference?
hvd.32044020033536	Did you see what a delicate face she had, and how nicely she spoke?
hvd.32044020033536	Do n't encourage her if she should really be contemplating anything foolish! ” “ Why not? ” “ Oh, hang it all! ” Aynesworth declared.
hvd.32044020033536	Do n't touch the lights, I say! ” “ What folly is this?
hvd.32044020033536	Do n't you have to apologise to your clients for your surroundings?
hvd.32044020033536	Do n't you know that the memory of it is dragging us apart, must keep us apart always — always? ” Wingrave leaned a little forward.
hvd.32044020033536	Do n't you like to give up your liberty?
hvd.32044020033536	Do n't you love Tredowen? ” “ Well, I have n't been here very long, you see, ” Aynesworth explained.
hvd.32044020033536	Do you find it dull down here? ” “ Dull! ” she exclaimed wonderingly.
hvd.32044020033536	Do you know if he still has any in his possession? ” “ My answer to both questions is'No!""
hvd.32044020033536	Do you know that when you do, you make me afraid that something I have always hoped for will never come to pass? ” “ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	Do you know that when you do, you make me afraid that something I have always hoped for will never come to pass? ” “ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	Do you know who he was? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	Do you know, I think I am going to ask you again — what I asked you last night?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you remember?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you see the spray com- ing over the cliffs there?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you think I can ever forget that?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you think I do n't realise it?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you think that he can?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you think we could persuade Mrs. Tresfarwin to come? ” “ I'm sure we could,"she answered, laughing.
hvd.32044020033536	Do you understand? ” “ Perfectly, sir."
hvd.32044020033536	Do you want to rake out the ashes of our domestic hearth — to play the part of — melodramatic villain?
hvd.32044020033536	Do you wish to pose as the friend of a woman whom the world has thought too ambitious to waste time 164 THE MALEFACTOR upon such follies?
hvd.32044020033536	Down there in the cold restless waste of black waters — what was it that he saw?
hvd.32044020033536	Everything that was evil in me rebelled"“ Is this necessary? ” he interrupted coldly.
hvd.32044020033536	For you, well for you it was a respite, was n't it? ” “ I do n't know that I should call it exactly that,"he answered thoughtfully.
hvd.32044020033536	Have you any objection, I wonder, to telling me what manner of life you pro- pose to lead? ” It was several moments before Wingrave answered him.
hvd.32044020033536	Have you seen any letters of mine?
hvd.32044020033536	Have you seen the pictures? ” “ We have just been looking at them, ” Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Have you sent on those letters, Mr. Pengarth?
hvd.32044020033536	Have you — had à row with Wingrave? ” he asked, looking at her anxiously.
hvd.32044020033536	He came and saw you often in London? ” She smiled reflectively.
hvd.32044020033536	He is staying at the Clarence, I presume, under his own name?
hvd.32044020033536	He may be simply making use of you. ” “ What do you think yourself?
hvd.32044020033536	How and where should you live? ” “ It depends a little upon your tastes, of course, ” Rocke answered.
hvd.32044020033536	How are you, Captain Kendrick?
hvd.32044020033536	How did it happen?
hvd.32044020033536	I am Emily, Marchioness of Westchester, and I live and choose my friends as I please; will you be chief amongst them?
hvd.32044020033536	I am Sir Wingrave Seton's secretary. ” “ What is he going to do? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	I am altogether at a loss to account for it. ” “ You have had some conversation with my wife, I believe? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044020033536	I am going to turn it into gold! ”, “ And what use is gold? ” Aynesworth asked cu- riously.
hvd.32044020033536	I believe I made a mistake! ” “ This is most interesting, ” Wingrave said calmly, “ but why talk to me about the lady?
hvd.32044020033536	I can not continue to accept- even such magnificent alms as yours. ” “ What do you mean, child? ” he asked, frowning across at her.
hvd.32044020033536	I do not wish to leave the hotel just at · present. ” “ Do you want me?"
hvd.32044020033536	I say, do you know how I got that money??
hvd.32044020033536	I say, do you know how I got that money??
hvd.32044020033536	I scarcely see how we are going to get through the season, unless something turns up. ” “ Is it as bad as that? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	I shall advertise at once for a secretary! ” “ Why advertise? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	I talked to her then for a little time. ” “ Ca n't you be more explicit? ” Wingrave asked.
hvd.32044020033536	I think I should play the game out, Lady Ruth, until"“ Until what? ” “ Perhaps to the end, ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	I want to see how he will come out of it. ” “ You knew his story- the truth? ” “ Everything,"he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	I will see him to- morrow morning. ” “ Anything else? ” Aynesworth asked, preparing to leave the room.
hvd.32044020033536	I wonder if you were idiot enough to do that, Aynesworth? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	I'll pay you in time. ” “ What do you ask for? ” Wingrave said.
hvd.32044020033536	I've been wondering if you'd think it impertinent if I asked you to tell me about your guardian. ” “ What do you want to know? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	I- how can I do anything else but despise him?
hvd.32044020033536	If he were on our side"“ Do n't you think, ” Barrington interrupted, “ that you would have more chance with him than I? ” She laughed softly.
hvd.32044020033536	If the money is not forthcoming, you know the alternative. ” “ You mean to ruin me, then? ” Nesbitt said slowly.
hvd.32044020033536	Is Mr. Richardson here, do you know?
hvd.32044020033536	Is it Miss Harrison who has sent you? ” Mr. Pengarth's visitor looked positively annoyed.
hvd.32044020033536	Is it part of a scheme?
hvd.32044020033536	Is n't that glorious?"
hvd.32044020033536	Is she from one of the theatres, or a genuine article?"
hvd.32044020033536	Is she, too, to be a victim?"
hvd.32044020033536	It is all private, you know! ” “ And you? ” Aynesworth asked with a smile, “ you have permission, I suppose?
hvd.32044020033536	It is all private, you know! ” “ And you? ” Aynesworth asked with a smile, “ you have permission, I suppose?
hvd.32044020033536	It is all so beautiful, is n't it?
hvd.32044020033536	It is n't the best thing in the world for you, is it?
hvd.32044020033536	It is so different from the country, and there is a great deal that it is difficult to understand. ” “ For instance?"
hvd.32044020033536	It seems to me that I have been a trifle unfortunate in several instances. ”"As for instance? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	It was for her mistress's sake. ” “ Do you know the mistress?"
hvd.32044020033536	It was what she had prayed for, this — but was it for good or evil?
hvd.32044020033536	It was you who put me off, too! ” “ It turned out all right?"
hvd.32044020033536	Let me be your guide! ” Wingrave looked at her in grave astonishment “ You are not by any chance — in earnest? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	May I talk to you seriously? ” “ I prefer you frivolous,"she murmured.
hvd.32044020033536	Men with eyes of that colour always are! ” “ What are we to do, Ruth? ” “ What can we? ” she answered calmly.
hvd.32044020033536	Men with eyes of that colour always are! ” “ What are we to do, Ruth? ” “ What can we? ” she answered calmly.
hvd.32044020033536	Mr. Aynesworth did n't help to find him, did he? ” “ Certainly not! ” the lawyer answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Never heard it. ” “ Your letter, then, was from the maid?"
hvd.32044020033536	Now what do you say?
hvd.32044020033536	Now, please, may I ask you a question? ” “ Any that you think necessary, ” Wingrave an- swered.
hvd.32044020033536	Of course, I never guessed what was going to happen. ” “ Then it was Wingrave,"Barrington muttered, “ who played the game? ” “ Yes!
hvd.32044020033536	Or would you like to go into the gardens at Tredowen?
hvd.32044020033536	Our connection will have ended. ” “ You mean this? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	Pengarth, ” she said, “ do you know how old I am? ” “ How old, my dear?
hvd.32044020033536	Pengarth, ” she said, “ do you know how old I am? ” “ How old, my dear?
hvd.32044020033536	Remember, we want to know, my mistress and I, everything that he does. ” “ Who is he? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	Ruth, old lady,"he added more gently, “ what's gone wrong?
hvd.32044020033536	Say, Aynesworth, you do n't mind if I ask you something? ” “ Not at all, ” Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Sha'n't I see you again any time? ” “ If you care to, by all means,"he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Shall I put the matter quite clearly?
hvd.32044020033536	Shall I tell you what is in his mind?
hvd.32044020033536	Shall we go together?
hvd.32044020033536	She did me the scanty honour of appraising me as an easy victim, and she asked me questions. ” “ For instance?"
hvd.32044020033536	She is in London studying painting. ” “ You are her guardian? ” Lady Ruth repeated.
hvd.32044020033536	Suppose you tell me what sort of a man would satisfy you! ” “ Why should I? ” Wingrave asked coldly.
hvd.32044020033536	THE MALEFACTOR 163 “ Wingrave,"she asked, “ do you know what fear is?
hvd.32044020033536	THE MALEFACTOR 191 “ I, ” he remarked, “ lend you money?
hvd.32044020033536	THE MALEFACTOR 261 lot recesita one remember that you are a man, and I a woman plead- ing for a little mercy — a little kindness?"
hvd.32044020033536	The price of the shares to- day is two dollars! ” “ I presume you will send out an expert to the mine first? ” Aynesworth said.
hvd.32044020033536	The weari- ness was there indeed — was it his fancy, or was it something more than weariness which shone out of the dark, tired eyes?
hvd.32044020033536	They are going to look after you prop- erly, and you will not be alone any more. ” “ What time are you going?"
hvd.32044020033536	To tell you the truth, I have not much feeling left, of any sort. ” THE MALEFACTOR 147 “ You mean to keep your own counsel, then?"
hvd.32044020033536	To tell you the truth- “ Well? ” “ I was thinking that you might ask Wingrave to help us a bit.
hvd.32044020033536	Was his to be the hog's paradise of empty delights; were the other worlds indeed forbidden?
hvd.32044020033536	Was it after all an illusion?
hvd.32044020033536	Was it he indeed- George Richardson?
hvd.32044020033536	Was it likely that Wingrave would wear two crowns?
hvd.32044020033536	We're going on Wingrave's yacht, are n't we? ” “ Yes!
hvd.32044020033536	Well, what are you going to do now?
hvd.32044020033536	What about Juliet Lundy? ” Fire flashed in Wingrave's eyes.
hvd.32044020033536	What account shall I put them to? ” “ Private drawing account, ” Wingrave answered.
hvd.32044020033536	What are you going to do, then? ” “ I have no idea, ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	What are'you going to do? ” “ That,"he said, “ depends upon many things."
hvd.32044020033536	What can I do for you as a friend, if you will allow me to call you so? ” Wingrave turned slightly in his chair.
hvd.32044020033536	What can I do for you?
hvd.32044020033536	What did you say?"
hvd.32044020033536	What do you want me to be?
hvd.32044020033536	What do you want? ” “ That is the question,"Wingrave said, “ which I have been asking myself.
hvd.32044020033536	What does it mean? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	What has happened to make this journey seem necessary to you?
hvd.32044020033536	What is it that you are afraid of?
hvd.32044020033536	What is it that you are seeking for in life?
hvd.32044020033536	What is it?"
hvd.32044020033536	What is the play to- night?"
hvd.32044020033536	What is there left to drive the wheels?
hvd.32044020033536	What is there left to us of life?
hvd.32044020033536	What is there that you can do for me? ” Mr. Rocke was apparently a little nonplussed.
hvd.32044020033536	What is your name? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	What manner of place would he find what manner of place did he desire to find?
hvd.32044020033536	What manner of ven- geance did he mean to deal out to her?
hvd.32044020033536	What more can your ven- geance need?
hvd.32044020033536	What of her? ” he answered calmly.
hvd.32044020033536	What of your ward? ” “ Well!
hvd.32044020033536	What use is all this hoarded rubbish to me?
hvd.32044020033536	What was the object of it?
hvd.32044020033536	When are you going away? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	Who are you? ” “ You are Mademoiselle Violet,"was the answer, “ and you know who I am!
hvd.32044020033536	Who can tell what the days may bring?
hvd.32044020033536	Whose baby were you driving about this afternoon?
hvd.32044020033536	Why are you here?
hvd.32044020033536	Why did n't you? ” He frowned.
hvd.32044020033536	Why did you send for me? ” “ Listen! ” There was a moment's silence.
hvd.32044020033536	Why did you wish to see me again?"
hvd.32044020033536	Why do you do it?
hvd.32044020033536	Why do you lend me this money?
hvd.32044020033536	Why do you torture me?"
hvd.32044020033536	Why have you done this?
hvd.32044020033536	Why have you stayed away from Tredowen so long? ” “ I have been abroad, ” Wingrave answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Why may I not know who he is, why may I not write to him?
hvd.32044020033536	Why not tell me?"
hvd.32044020033536	Why should I? ” “ Heaven knows, ” Barrington answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Why should n't I?
hvd.32044020033536	Why?
hvd.32044020033536	Why? ” monity.
hvd.32044020033536	Will you forgive me if I send you away for a few minutes? ” Lady Ruth rose slowly to her feet.
hvd.32044020033536	Will you give my rug and cushion to the deck- steward?
hvd.32044020033536	Will you go? ” “ I dunno, ” he angwered thoughtfully.
hvd.32044020033536	Will you kiss me, Wingrave? ” “ With pleasure! ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	Will you see that she has some tea or something? ” Lady Ruth laughed quietly.
hvd.32044020033536	Will you take me out to my carriage?
hvd.32044020033536	Will you tell me? ” “ What is there to do? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	Will you tell me? ” “ What is there to do? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	Wingrave! ” she exclaimed softly, with up- raised eyebrows, “ why have you contrived to render yourself invisible?
hvd.32044020033536	Wo n't you sit down yourself?
hvd.32044020033536	Wo n't you step into the cloak room? ” The lady shook her head.
hvd.32044020033536	Wo n't you try one of these phenacetine lozenges — excellent things for a headache, I believe?
hvd.32044020033536	Would you care to have me? ”.. “ Of course I would,"she answered frankly.
hvd.32044020033536	Would you like to go down on the beach and look for shells?
hvd.32044020033536	You are aware that Sir Wingrave Seton is in possession of certain documents in which my wife is interested, which he refuses to give up???

hvd.32044020033536	You are going to America with your husband. ” “ What do you mean? ” she asked sharply.
hvd.32044020033536	You do n't propose, I presume, to promenade the streets with a cat- o'-nine- tails?"
hvd.32044020033536	You have a conscience, I presume? ” “ Very little,"Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	You have been looking forward with so much joy to this meeting then?
hvd.32044020033536	You have brought the deed? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	You have my private ledger? ” “ Yes."
hvd.32044020033536	You know that he came to borrow money of me, I suppose?
hvd.32044020033536	You may come back to your own! ” “ Meaning? ” “ You may smoke enough cigarettes to become actu- ally humanised!
hvd.32044020033536	You see a good deal of her, do n't you? ” Wingrave raised his head and looked at Lady Ruth contemplatively.
hvd.32044020033536	You shall judge for yourself! ” THE MALEFACTOR 35 Aynesworth bowed... “ In the meantime? ” Her eyes filled slowly with tears.
hvd.32044020033536	You understand, do n't you?"
hvd.32044020033536	You would n't have her sent out as a servant, would you? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	You would n't, would you? ” “ No! ” he said deliberately, “ you are not a coward. ” “ There is only one sort of fear which I know,"?
hvd.32044020033536	You would n't, would you? ” “ No! ” he said deliberately, “ you are not a coward. ” “ There is only one sort of fear which I know,"?
hvd.32044020033536	You're out of work, I suppose?
hvd.32044020033536	riends nor relatie “ She has more misinformed a “ May I ask who it is who has turned up so unex- pectedly? ” Aynesworth enquired.
hvd.32044020033536	you do n't like the look of them? ” The young man cowered back in his chair.
hvd.32044020033536	— By the bye, Aynesworth, have you noticed that unwholesome- looking youth in a serge suit there? ” Aynesworth nodded.
hvd.32044020033536	“ A definite scheme of ill- doing,"Aynesworth ven- tured to suggest, “ would be more satisfactory? ” “ Exactly,"he admitted.
hvd.32044020033536	“ A friend of your mistress? ” “ No!"
hvd.32044020033536	“ After all, do n't you think that the harm he could do is a little imaginary? ” She brushed the suggestion aside with a little shiver.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Alone?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Am I such a failure as a woman, then? ” she asked with a swift upward glance.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Am I to understand,"he said,"that you are in here in your journalistic capacity? ” The new- comer shook his head.
hvd.32044020033536	“ And in the meantime, that you make no further attempt of a similar nature? ” “ Not I! ” he answered with emphasis.
hvd.32044020033536	“ And last night?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ And what have you to say to me about this? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ And your work? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Any particular form of excuse? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Anything important? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are n't they beautiful? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are n't you a little melodramatic, Aynesworth?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you glad that you are going away from Tredowen? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you his friend?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you horrified?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you mad, Aynesworth? ” Wingrave asked coolly.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you mad, Ruth? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you mad? ” “ Not now,"came the quick answer.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you my librarian? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you our enemy? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Are you well enough to walk? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Aynesworth, ” he said, “ if you are ready, will you get in and tell the man to drive to Cadogan Square?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Been dealing in Hardwells?'
hvd.32044020033536	“ Been lunching out? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044020033536	“ But can you conceive no worse state in the world than being bored? ” “ There is no worse state,"he answered drily.
hvd.32044020033536	“ But his time — is not up yet? ” “ There is always a reduction, ” Aynesworth re- minded her, “ for what is called good conduct."
hvd.32044020033536	“ But how dared you ring me up?
hvd.32044020033536	“ But the mine? ” Aynesworth exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033536	“ But what have I got to do? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ But when am I to pay it back?'
hvd.32044020033536	“ But you are not serious, Sir Wingrave? ” “ Ay!
hvd.32044020033536	“ But you want to go to school, do n't you, and see other girls? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ But — is this a joke, Miss Violet? ” She shook her head.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Ca n't you help me? ” “ I can not, Lady Ruth. ” The electric bell rang softly from outside, and the orchestra commenced to play.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can I get your chair for you, Mrs. Travers,"Aynesworth asked, “ or shall we walk for a few minutes? ” Mrs. Travers hesitated.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can we sit down somewhere? ” she said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can you hear me?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can you let me have a couple of hundred?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can you really get off? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can you take me to Sir Wingrave at once?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Can you think of any way? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Curiosity! ” “ I do, ” he remarked;"you should be grateful to her. ” “ Why? ” “ It may save you a similar infliction."
hvd.32044020033536	“ Did you expect me? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do n't lie to me, sir,"?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you deny it? ” he said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you know how much you require to free your- self? ” “ About eight thousand pounds! ” she answered mechanically.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you know that I should have to give up my seat and my clubs?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you know what I think, Mr. Pen- garth?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you know what you are saying? ” “ Quite well, ” she answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you know who she is?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you mean to help us? ” “ Us — no! ” he answered; “ you- perhaps yes!
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you seriously suppose that 62 THE MALEFACTOR I am responsible for the future of every brat who grows up on this estate? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you think that it would be wise of me to ask him?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you think that it would be wise? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you think that we had better send for the police, your ladyship? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Do you want me to go with you? ” “ It is not necessary, ” Wingrave answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Eat and drink, and juggle a little with the ball of fate. ” “ You are not ambitious? ” “ Not in the least."
hvd.32044020033536	“ Face what? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Finished your campaigning? ” Wingrave enquired.
hvd.32044020033536	“ First, ” he said, “ may I ask you a question?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Friends, ” she exclaimed, “ Lady Ruth and I?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Got rid of her ladyship?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ HAST THOU FOUND ME, O MINE ENEMY? ” VII.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Have n't I told you so before?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Have we finished this miserable business?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Have you been in to see me?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Have you come to terms with her ladyship?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Have you lost your way? ” she enquired politely.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Have you promised to steal the letters yet? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044020033536	“ He is trustworthy? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ He was organist here, and he died last week. ” “ And you have no other relatives? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How are you, Lovell? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How do you do, Mr. Richardson? ” she said, holding out her hand.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How do you get on with Wingrave? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How long do you wish me to keep away? ” she asked calmly.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How long have you known Ruth? ” she asked quietly.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How long was your father organist at the church? ” THE MALEFACTOR 61 rich manable.
hvd.32044020033536	“ How much does Wingrave want?'
hvd.32044020033536	“ How on earth, ” he asked, “ did you get here? ” She whispered in his ear.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Humanises one, does it? ” Wingrave remarked softly.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I am trying to get a situation as governess or companion or — anything. ” “ When did you have anything to eat last? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I dare not come to- morrow, ” she whispered; “ I am afraid of him. ” “ Do you wish me to tell him so? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I do n't think, ” he said, glancing at the clock, “ that I need detain you any longer. ” “ You are really going away, then?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ I feel braver now. ” “ You are prepared, ” he remarked, “ for uncondi- tional surrender?
hvd.32044020033536	“ I have THE MALEFACTOR 157 “ But surely he will come back himself some time? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I hear, ” he said,"that you have met Mr. Aynes- worth again. ” THE MALEFACTOR 219 “ Was n't it delightful? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I killed a man. ” “ Purposely?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ I knew his history, and I am interested in him! ” “ You write novels, do n't you? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I suppose you know best. ” “ For heaven's sake tell me,"she cried passion- ately, “ what has come to you, what manner of a man are you?
hvd.32044020033536	“ I suppose, ” he remarked,"you are a little lonely sometimes? ” “ Sometimes, ” she admitted.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I think that I am sorry, too, for her husband. ” “ Why?
hvd.32044020033536	“ I want to know what you mean by following that lady about? ” Wingrave asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ I was bored once,"he added,"for ten years or so; I ought to know! ” “ Were you married?
hvd.32044020033536	“ I'm a giraffe, am I not? ” she declared;"and I'm still growing.
hvd.32044020033536	“ If I agree, ” she said, “ will you give me back my letters? ” “ No! ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is he always like this? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is he going abroad?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is it necessary? ” Aynesworth declared brusquely.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is it practicable? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is it really necessary?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is it to be always like this, then? ” she said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is it worth while? ” he asked a little wearily.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is it- another woman? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is n't it strange that I should see him here to- night? ” “ He comes often,"Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is she a great friend of Sir Wingrave Seton, Mr. Aynesworth? ” “ He has no friends,"Aynesworth answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is that Lady Ruth Barrington? ” “ Yes! ” “ Is it — Mademoiselle Violet? ” The receiver nearly dropped from her hand.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is that Lady Ruth Barrington? ” “ Yes! ” “ Is it — Mademoiselle Violet? ” The receiver nearly dropped from her hand.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is there a little left,"she whispered, “ of the old folly?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is there nothing to set down on the credit side of the ledger?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is this all?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is this seem- ing friendship of yours a cloak to hide some scheme of yours to make us suffer?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is your husband going to meet you at New York, Mrs. Travers? ” “ No! ” “ Are you going direct to Boston? ” She looked at him steadily.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is your husband going to meet you at New York, Mrs. Travers? ” “ No! ” “ Are you going direct to Boston? ” She looked at him steadily.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is your mistress in? ” Barrington asked in some surprise.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Is — Sir Wingrave Seton — out of prison?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ It is ex- tremely distasteful to me. ” “ Then why do you do it?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ It is your mother? ” she whispered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Knocked you about a bit, have n't they? ” “ They very nearly finished me, ” Lovell admitted.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Lady Ruth, ” he said, “ will you favour me with an answer to my message? ” “ Certainly, ” she answered, smiling quite natu- rally.
hvd.32044020033536	“ May I know why? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ No use? ” she faltered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ No! ” “ Then what is it?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Not going? ” he repeated incredulously.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Of my argument?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Or what? ” he repeated.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Owe — you something? ” she repeated vaguely.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Perhaps?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Ruth, by all means. ” “ Now will you answer my question? ” she said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Ruth, ” he asked, “ what's wrong between you and Wingrave? ” “ Nothing,"she answered; “ I'm afraid of him, that's all!
hvd.32044020033536	“ Say, Aynesworth,"he exclaimed, “ do you think you could do anything with your governor for me?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Shall I fix up that little dinner- party?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Shall I go to him again? ” “ Useless! ” she answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Shall I go? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Shall I see you?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Shall I tell you what he would do, Lumley?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Short, eh?'
hvd.32044020033536	“ Sir Wingrave Seton, I believe? ” the intruder said cheerfully.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Sister, ” Mr. Pengarth said, “ have you ordered the wine and the cake? ” “ Bless me, no! ” Miss Rachael declared.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Sport west, or civilisation east? ” “ Both,"Wingrave answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Supposing she should refuse to see me?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Surely,"he said,"you find Mrs. Travers enter- taining? ” Wingrave reflected for a moment.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Tell me this, ” she said; “ is he really as hard and cold as he seems?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Tell me, Mr. Pengarth,"he said, “ do I look like a man likely to fail in anything he sets out to accomplish?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ That is — Sir Wingrave with you? ”.
hvd.32044020033536	“ The Marchioness? ” you kiss meout it is beca she cried."
hvd.32044020033536	“ The conditions? ” he repeated.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Then can you tell me of your own accord,"she said, “ why there is all this mystery?
hvd.32044020033536	“ They are fashionable ladies, perhaps? ” she said simply.
hvd.32044020033536	“ This is final, Mr. Aynesworth? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ To call on Lady Ruth, perhaps? ” “ As it happens, no, ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ To me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Unless what? ” “ Unless something turns up! ” There was a short, uncomfortable silence.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Was that the person whom you saw coming out of my state- room? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ We are going straight to the Barringtons ’?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ We could n't leave off playing at the game — and act it, could we? ” she murmured.
hvd.32044020033536	“ We could n't really — be friends?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Well? ” he said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Well?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What affair? ” Richardson demanded, with a very weak attempt at bluster.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What answer shall I take back to him?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What are you doing for a living — painting still?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What are you doing there? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What are you going to do with them? ” “ It depends,"he said, “ upon you.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What at?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What became of the child? ” “ One of her father's relations turned up after all, and took care of her,"Aynesworth said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What can one think of a man,"he answered,"who goes about like an animated mummy?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What can you do? ” “ I can paint, ” she answered, “ fairly well.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What did you do?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What do you think of him? ” Barrington shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What do you want with me, Mr. Aynesworth?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What do you want with me? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What does? ” Richardson asked faintly.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What for?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What for? ” “ Attempted murder!
hvd.32044020033536	“ What have you been doing to poor Ruth?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What have you there? ” he asked, pointing to the parcel.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What is it? ” “ Why the devil do you stop with a man like Win- grave?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What is it? ” “ Why the devil do you stop with a man like Win- grave?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What is it? ” “ You will go,"Wingrave directed, “ to No.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What made you come to me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What of that child?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What on earth are we going to do in Cornwall? ” “ I have an estate there, the home of my ancestors, which I am going to sell.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What should I do first?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What then-- are the conditions? ” He bent over towards her.
hvd.32044020033536	“ What use is the country to you and me?
hvd.32044020033536	“ What would the great man say?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ What's wrong?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Whatever do people write to you so much for? ” she asked one morning, watching the stream of let- ters flow out of the post- bag.
hvd.32044020033536	“ When can I come? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ When do we start? ” “ Saturday week."
hvd.32044020033536	“ When shall we see you again? ” “ In a few days,"he answered, standing bare- headed upon the pavement.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Where are you staying now? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Where is Aynesworth?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Where is Lovell? ” Wingrave asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Where is Mrs. Tresfarwin? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Who can tell?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Who is it that wants me?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Who is it, Wingrave?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Who is there?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Who was it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Who was she? ” she asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why did you bring me here? ” she asked in a low tone.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why do you ask me that? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not renew the experi- ence?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not, indeed?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” Aynesworth asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” Lovell knocked the ashes from his pipe, and commenced leisurely to refill it.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” “ I have done you the greatest service one human being can render another!
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” “ If you were absolutely heartless,"she said, “ if you were perfectly consistent, why did you not make me suffer?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why not? ” “ If you were absolutely heartless,"she said, “ if you were perfectly consistent, why did you not make me suffer?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why should I not play the part that you suggest?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why should you suppose that? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why, what is the matter with you, child?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Why? ” “ I could not afford to keep her here any longer.".
hvd.32044020033536	“ Will you pardon me if I add that it is a matter which I can scarcely discuss? ” Barrington shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Will you shake hands with me, Wingrave?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Win- grave, wo n't you try and be friends with me? ” “ I will try- certainly,"he answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Wingrave, ” he said, “ will you lend me some money?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ With Sir Wingrave Seton, I presume?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Wo n't you direct me?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” He ignored her invitation, and stood looking around him.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” he said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Would you care to be introduced? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ Would you care to come round with me to the Cannibal Olub?
hvd.32044020033536	“ Yes? ” “ Frankly, I do not progress at all."
hvd.32044020033536	“ You are a sportsman, are you not? ” “ I am fond of sport, ” Wingrave answered.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You are in his confidence?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ You are not in love with me any longer, are you?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ You are not that man? ” He raised his eyes and looked at her.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You believe, then, that I mean to make conditions?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ You cannot- oh, you can not mean it? ” she cried.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You could swear to him, if necessary? ” “ Certainly, sir. ” 110 THE MALEFACTOR Richardson hesitated.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You do n't mean, ” she exclaimed, “ you are going away without coming to Tredowen?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ You have lost someone, perhaps? ” he said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You have no suspicion as to whom it could have been? ” “ None! ” Aynesworth answered firmly.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You like to be thought of? ” “ Who does n't?
hvd.32044020033536	“ You like to be thought of? ” “ Who does n't?
hvd.32044020033536	“ You listen as though you heard music all the time. ” “ And what about you? ” she asked him, smiling.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You made a little error, perhaps, in those cal- culations? ” he suggested.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You mean the lady with a stock of epigrams, and a green veil? ” he remarked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You really are a lady's maid, then, are you? ” “ Of course! ” she answered impatiently.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You remember Lovell, Mr. Wingrave? ” he said.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You remember seeing me, then? ” he remarked, 172 THE MALEFACTOR and his tone sounded all the colder after the full richness of her young voice.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You see you did not take much notice of me that time, did you?
hvd.32044020033536	“ You sent for me, sir? ” he enquired respectfully.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You want to see that picture? ” he asked.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You wo n't forget that you are dining with me to- morrow? ” Wingrave shook his head regretfully.
hvd.32044020033536	“ You wo n't leave me?
hvd.32044020033536	“ You'll never stand the routine, old chap! ”"And what about your own work! ” “ What will the Daily Scribbler people say?"
hvd.32044020033536	“ Your price? ” he repeated.
hvd.32044020033536	” “ How do you know, Ruth? ” THE MALEFACTOR 79 “ I have seen him!
hvd.32044020033536	” “ What's he like, Walter? ” another man asked.
hvd.32044020033536	” “ Why certainly, my dear, certainly! ” “ Can you tell me how it is that I have had no answer? ” Mr. Pengarth coughed.
hvd.32044020033536	” “ Yes! ” “ Hungry? ” “ I suppose so."
hvd.hn2svq	'As she'ad a blow on the'ead too? ” Mrs. Jubbers suggested. hvd.hn2svq A natural one? ” The Inspector grinned.
hvd.hn2svq	And why will you say'thee'? hvd.hn2svq And you married this lady?"
hvd.hn2svq	Are n't you a little glad to see me- Louis?
hvd.hn2svq	Are you coming or are you waiting for your escort to take you to Buckingham Palace?
hvd.hn2svq	Are you quite, quite sure? hvd.hn2svq Are you ready, old bird?"
hvd.hn2svq	But Mademoiselle de Melville"If she's satisfied, wot's the odds? hvd.hn2svq By the way, what's your name? ” he asked graciously as the butler reached the door.
hvd.hn2svq	Did you dream?
hvd.hn2svq	Did you see your nocturnal visitor?
hvd.hn2svq	Fool of myself? hvd.hn2svq Found nothing on your person to identify you, eh? ” No.
hvd.hn2svq	From France? ” he enquired at last with as- surned indifference. hvd.hn2svq From a blow?"
hvd.hn2svq	From mem? hvd.hn2svq Got you this time, have I?"
hvd.hn2svq	Have I been hit on the back of the head? ” he asked. hvd.hn2svq Have you any proof to offer?"
hvd.hn2svq	Hear that, sir? ”. hvd.hn2svq How did you find me out, sir?"
hvd.hn2svq	How does that strike you, eh, sir?
hvd.hn2svq	Hurts, eh? ” There was, it seemed, something incriminating about the head. hvd.hn2svq I guess we do n't need any introdoocing, do we Count?"
hvd.hn2svq	I have no one in the world except —"Me? ” he suggested with miraculously recov- ered cheerfulness. hvd.hn2svq I have the honour to wish you good- morning, Count. ”"Where are you going? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	I meant-would you trust me anyhow- whatever I did, whatever I had done? ”. hvd.hn2svq I might perhaps telephone to your bankers, Monsieur le Comte? ” he suggested apologetically.
hvd.hn2svq	I should deserve anything I should deserve to lose you and — er — anything else that happened to belong to me, should n't I? ”. hvd.hn2svq If you mean the taters, why do n't you call them by their proper name?"
hvd.hn2svq	If you saw him, ” he said,then I suppose you could easily identify him? ” The butler handed the toast.
hvd.hn2svq	If you would wait but a few minutes —? ” he suggested doubtfully. hvd.hn2svq Indeed —?"
hvd.hn2svq	Indeed?
hvd.hn2svq	It's a bargain then? ” “ A solemn league and covenant.
hvd.hn2svq	Me off? hvd.hn2svq Mem?
hvd.hn2svq	Memory returning, eh what?
hvd.hn2svq	Money? hvd.hn2svq No clue, eh?"
hvd.hn2svq	No — you're sure you're not the Countess? ”Positive!"
hvd.hn2svq	No, sir — but the silver. ” “ Oh- indeed? ” “ Yes, sir_down an area. ” “ Very fortunate.
hvd.hn2svq	None. ”Do n't you think it's rather bad luck?"
hvd.hn2svq	Not read it? hvd.hn2svq Nothing in it to strike your memory, eh? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	Now then, who's calling me names?
hvd.hn2svq	Parlez- vous français? ” demanded the Inspec- tor, with increased solemnity. hvd.hn2svq Perhaps you mean that you have come to the conclusion that our marriage is a mistake?"
hvd.hn2svq	Recognise you — why should n't she recognise you? hvd.hn2svq See that?"
hvd.hn2svq	See what?
hvd.hn2svq	Shall I tell you the truth? hvd.hn2svq Sir — you insinuate-? ”"I insinuate nothing.
hvd.hn2svq	So you're the gentleman who's lost his mem- ory? ” he remarked, finally. hvd.hn2svq Supposing she says I'm not who you think I am — what's going to happen?
hvd.hn2svq	That him?
hvd.hn2svq	Then you're not the Count?
hvd.hn2svq	Theodora, ” he said,what is the matter?
hvd.hn2svq	To England. ” “ What — what for? ” Her eyes avoided his. hvd.hn2svq Well, wot about the poor Countess wot you've deluded so?
hvd.hn2svq	Well, wot's it got to do with you if I gets'awled up before the beak? hvd.hn2svq Well? ” he said.
hvd.hn2svq	Well?
hvd.hn2svq	What is it to thee what I look? hvd.hn2svq What is the latest news? ” he asked a trifle wearily, for even surprises can become tedious.
hvd.hn2svq	What was the matter with him?
hvd.hn2svq	What- already? ” “ There was a journalist fellow here last night, sir. hvd.hn2svq Why not? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2svq	Wot's the matter? ” he asked boisterously and with painful relapse into his native dialect. hvd.hn2svq Wot's up? ” he enquired briefly, and with a distressing return to his native intonation.
hvd.hn2svq	Wot's your call, old blighter? ” “ Come here — and for pity's sake do n't shout like that. hvd.hn2svq Wot? ” The exclamation came in the same breath from George and Mrs. Jubbers.
hvd.hn2svq	You are sure? hvd.hn2svq You consent? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2svq	You have n't mistaken it for the Ritz, have you? hvd.hn2svq You infer,"his captive suggested, “ that I do not give you the impression of being a landed proprietor?"
hvd.hn2svq	You insist?
hvd.hn2svq	You jackass- never anywhere where you're wanted — deaf as a door- post- didn't you hear my whistle? hvd.hn2svq You mean- that's him?"
hvd.hn2svq	You ran away — where to?
hvd.hn2svq	You want it? ” She saw the surprise flash up and every trace of colour faded from her cheeks-or- or is it for him? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hn2svq	You want it? ” She saw the surprise flash up and every trace of colour faded from her cheeks-or- or is it for him? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hn2svq	You'd better be off at once, had n't you?
hvd.hn2svq	Your letter? hvd.hn2svq £ 1000 is a nice little sum, eh, Inspector?"
hvd.hn2svq	'Tain't English?"
hvd.hn2svq	10? ” he asked courteously.
hvd.hn2svq	10? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2svq	10? ” he said, and supplemented the appeal with a light tap on the shoulder.
hvd.hn2svq	157 158 ROGUES& COMPANY “ What ’s ‘ gentille ’? ” she enquired freezingly.
hvd.hn2svq	7, I hope?
hvd.hn2svq	82 ROGUES& COMPANY"Surely my forgetfulness has not cost me all your affection? ” he pleaded pathetically.
hvd.hn2svq	A reconcilia- tion, perhaps?
hvd.hn2svq	Ai n't that enough to wring tears out of a beak?
hvd.hn2svq	Ai n't that tragic?"
hvd.hn2svq	Am I, for instance, really the Count Louis de Beaulieu?"
hvd.hn2svq	And pray what does he want?"
hvd.hn2svq	As it is, there is every reason to hope —""— that I shall remember, you mean? ” Dr. Frohlocken shrugged his sloping shoulders.
hvd.hn2svq	At any rate you slept well? ”"Excellently."
hvd.hn2svq	Besides — he was a rogue and why in the name of all the saints in the criminal calendar should he not act as one?
hvd.hn2svq	Besides, why should n't you be a Count, bless your'eart?
hvd.hn2svq	But if I had n't lost my memory I should be a scoundrel, should n't I?"
hvd.hn2svq	But look'ere, to get back to business — how much filthy lucre'ave you got for our little trip?"
hvd.hn2svq	Butter?"
hvd.hn2svq	By the 26 ROGUES& COMPANY way, you had rather a disturbed night yourself, did n't you? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn2svq	Ca n't you let a fellow sleep?".
hvd.hn2svq	Did I say so? ” “ You did not say so, but circumstances —"“ You are both stupid and ungenerous!"
hvd.hn2svq	Did he, by some extraordinary coincidence, bear that nobleman such a strong re- semblance that even his fiancée was deceived?
hvd.hn2svq	Did n't I fall in love with you the first hour I saw you? ” She flushed deeply.
hvd.hn2svq	Did n't I protest?
hvd.hn2svq	Did n't I tell him?
hvd.hn2svq	Did they object to me?"
hvd.hn2svq	Do n't you remember the time you was the Prince Donowaski and pinched the Duchess'diamonds? ” “ No, I ca n't say I do.
hvd.hn2svq	Do you remember how you came to London? ”"I came to study."
hvd.hn2svq	Do you think I request a newly discovered germ to pay me consulting fees?
hvd.hn2svq	Eh? ” he said.
hvd.hn2svq	For example—“Drink?"
hvd.hn2svq	For the moment the danger of dis- covery was averted, but for how long?
hvd.hn2svq	From her parents?
hvd.hn2svq	From whom?
hvd.hn2svq	Go away with you""Well, wot about them burglars and the silver wot they took? ” Constable X. persisted dog- gedly.
hvd.hn2svq	Got a wisiting card on you? ”"If I had, the matter would be simplified.
hvd.hn2svq	Ha- how's that?"
hvd.hn2svq	Had n't you better go to bed? ” “ Oh no, thank you.
hvd.hn2svq	Had the lucky pig miraculously changed him or blinded her?
hvd.hn2svq	Has any- thing come back to you? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	Have I any excuse to offer?
hvd.hn2svq	Have n't you got my note? ”"Your note? ” His jaw dropped.
hvd.hn2svq	Have n't you got my note? ”"Your note? ” His jaw dropped.
hvd.hn2svq	Have you had bad news?"
hvd.hn2svq	He plunged “ Safes. ” ROGUES& COMPANY 37"Sea?"
hvd.hn2svq	He wore a mask. ” “ But you saw his dress and figure?"
hvd.hn2svq	How do you know?"
hvd.hn2svq	How long have you been in this state?"
hvd.hn2svq	I am a much tried man- if I am a little angry who shall wonder?
hvd.hn2svq	I am going out in the grounds for some fresh air. ” Louis stifled a third"indeed?"
hvd.hn2svq	I did not want to admit that- that I was married to a a~""— a what? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn2svq	If he had, as he at first supposed, supped not wisely but too well, where had he supped and with whom?
hvd.hn2svq	In any case, who is proposing to cheat him?
hvd.hn2svq	In- spector Smythe put two and two together, how- 216 ROGUES& COMPANY ever, and apparently made five, but that was n't altogether my fault, was it?
hvd.hn2svq	Is she dying? ” ROGUES& COMPANY 1 65"I do n't know, sir.
hvd.hn2svq	Is that not enough? ” “ Oh, go along! ” said Susan cheerfully.
hvd.hn2svq	Is that so very strange or difficult?"
hvd.hn2svq	Is there not at the bottom of that scrupulous heart a little fear of breaking the eleventh commandment—'Thou shalt not be found out'? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	Is there nothing significant or outstanding that you can remem- ber?"
hvd.hn2svq	Is this a slave- country?
hvd.hn2svq	It is for that that I have come to this wretched country. ”"Then no doubt your bankers and the executors will legitimise you?"
hvd.hn2svq	It's not a hang- ing business, is it?
hvd.hn2svq	I’ope you ’ ave'eaps of dibs, brother? ”"The Count de Beaulieu has, ” the prodigal answered heavily.
hvd.hn2svq	Listen to this?
hvd.hn2svq	Louis, if you could spare me a few min- utes —? ” He opened his eyes and met her steady gaze with a speechless gratitude.
hvd.hn2svq	My God — and you call this a civilised country?
hvd.hn2svq	Not so unscientific as you thought, eh, Doctor?
hvd.hn2svq	Now, how does that strike you, brother? ” The Count put his hand involuntarily to the back of his head as though perplexed by some vague memory.
hvd.hn2svq	Oh, my, is there a girl in it too?"
hvd.hn2svq	Old bird, you do n't say that blow'as spilt you for the profes- sion?"
hvd.hn2svq	Or do you only cheat the people you are fond of?
hvd.hn2svq	Or maybe it's your nurse —""My what?"
hvd.hn2svq	Pagot- Chump?"
hvd.hn2svq	Proof?
hvd.hn2svq	ROGUES& COMPANY 169"We owe Dr. Frohlocken a great deal. ” “ Do we? ” with bitter significance.
hvd.hn2svq	ROGUES& COMPANY 21"Well?
hvd.hn2svq	Say that I'll wait for her in the garden. ” “ Are n't you afraid she'll die of joy?"
hvd.hn2svq	Speak plain, will you? ”"I mean, ” the Count appeared to have some difficulty in controlling his voice.
hvd.hn2svq	Take him to the Lost Property Office as though he were an umbrella?
hvd.hn2svq	Then why are you here?
hvd.hn2svq	Theodora what, I won- der?
hvd.hn2svq	This let- ter is from a friend — a Mr. Cecil Saunders. ”"Indeed?"
hvd.hn2svq	Voyons, for the hundredth time- let there be peace between us wilt thou marry me, ma petite?"
hvd.hn2svq	Was he in real- ity the Count?
hvd.hn2svq	Was he look- ing at her between his fingers or was he not?
hvd.hn2svq	Well, we'll see what we can do, eh, Doctor?"
hvd.hn2svq	What am I to do?"
hvd.hn2svq	What are you going to do about it? ” For a minute she said nothing, battling for her voice.
hvd.hn2svq	What are you talking about?
hvd.hn2svq	What at?"
hvd.hn2svq	What do you think of me?''
hvd.hn2svq	What do you want to do with him?
hvd.hn2svq	What does an 18 ROGUES& COMPANY OV idiot like you know about madness?
hvd.hn2svq	What in God's name do you suppose I care about your money?
hvd.hn2svq	What more do you want?"
hvd.hn2svq	What more do you want?"
hvd.hn2svq	What right have you to call him your man? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	What shall I do, sir?
hvd.hn2svq	What time is it?".
hvd.hn2svq	What was the matter with him, pray?!!
hvd.hn2svq	What's the good of whistling if you do n't listen?
hvd.hn2svq	What's to be done?
hvd.hn2svq	What's your wants, young man? ” The stranger referred to the newspaper cut- ting.
hvd.hn2svq	Who and what was he?
hvd.hn2svq	Why are you running away?
hvd.hn2svq	Why did he bear it?
hvd.hn2svq	Why did he not send her to the right- about as he had done dozens of other clumsy but willing spirits?
hvd.hn2svq	Why did you come to England?"
hvd.hn2svq	Will you marry me? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	Wot d’yer mean?"

hvd.hn2svq	You do n't want me to faint, do you? ” “ I'm only doing my dooty, sir.
hvd.hn2svq	You get the idea, do n't you? ” No.
hvd.hn2svq	You see — it was a choice between the son and the daughter- and it is always better for the daughter to go under, is n't it?
hvd.hn2svq	You would n't like that, would you? ”"I'm sure I sha n't care much,"was the bitter answer.
hvd.hn2svq	You've got'em young — that's all. ”"Suppose we find the doctor?"

hvd.hn2svq	“ And — and your parents? ” he began feebly.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Any clue been found? ” he asked, to cover his confusion.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Anything, Theodora. ” “ Will you give me £ 300?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Apparently you overcame their- prejudices, however? ” he suggested.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Are n't you glad to see your brother again, Bill? ” ROGUES& COMPANY 99 The Count looked up.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Are you about to faint, both of you?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Are you?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Aware?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Bad news? ” she sobbed and stared at him blankly.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Ca n't I?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Ca n't you remember anythink? ” he appealed.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Can I not offer him some reason? ”"Say — that- well, you'd better tell him the truth.

hvd.hn2svq	“ Do you mean — I am the Count? ” he stam- mered.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Do you speak French? ” he asked, slowly.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Do you think I would marry you out of fear for myself?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Do you think — there is any likelihood of a resurrection?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Does that mean you are going to back out? ” “ Yes."

hvd.hn2svq	“ I say though — what about George- and- that- that Pig?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ I suppose you still want to know who you are?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ If a man hits you on the back of the head and a bump follows, you'd call it natural, would n't you?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Is he or is he not the Count de Beaulieu?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Is it anything very serious?
hvd.hn2svq	“ It is for him. ”"Is that the nature of your obligation?".
hvd.hn2svq	“ Louis — don't you understand?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Louis- what is it- have you bad news? ”"Nothing — unexpected. ” He passed his hand over his forehead.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Mad? ” he said.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Marry you?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ May I ask whom my unfortunate patient is to be confronted with this morning?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ May I count then upon your assistance?
hvd.hn2svq	“ May I read these? ” he asked uncertainly.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Meat?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Might I ask- whither?".
hvd.hn2svq	“ Might I enquire from whom your letter is then? ” he said.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Oh? ” He wished she was not so curt.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Old friend, eh?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Proof?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Read the morning's paper yet, sir?".
hvd.hn2svq	“ Sort of lost dog, eh? ”"The designation will do until I find a better one, ” returned the other, wearily.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Suppose you did?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Surely you know your own name? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	“ The circumstances attending it are excep- tional, you will admit? ” “ What circumstances? ” he asked obstinately.

hvd.hn2svq	“ Then you do n't believe in love at first sight after all? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Then, Mademoiselle, I'm afraid I really do n't understand how you came here. ”"I ran away. ” “ From your parents? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Theodora — won't you trust me?

hvd.hn2svq	“ Who has turned up now?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Who knows- then? ” She shrugged her shoulders recklessly.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Who told you?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Who?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Why do n't you come along in, you weeping willow, you?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Why do we stand here talking of the might- have- beens?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Why not since they are yours?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ Why, what's happened? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Why?
hvd.hn2svq	“ Wot about the relations? ” Mrs. Jubbers en- quired.
hvd.hn2svq	“ Yes — but surely — wasn't it very unwise? ”.
hvd.hn2svq	“ You are aware, perhaps that the Count de Beaulieu in- herits a considerable fortune from his English Grandfather?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ You have read my letter — you know everything?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ You know who I am, do n't you? ” “ Of course — you're my father."
hvd.hn2svq	“ You may. ” “ Theodora- I expect an answer. ” “ Do you?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ You mean- you- care for him?"
hvd.hn2svq	“ You say you are the Count Louis de Beaulieu? ” he asked — so suddenly and loudly that even the Large Person started.

hvd.32044086820297	6 Why? ” “ O!
hvd.32044086820297	6 Yes. ” “ At what hour? ” “ Was it at twelve o'clock? ” asked Neville, with his hand to his confused head, and appealing to Jasper.

hvd.32044086820297	87 “ I heard from Mr. Crisparkle of your other good fortune. ” “ What do you mean by my other good fortune? ”.
hvd.32044086820297	: “ You do n't doubt it's being a blow to Jack, Rosa? ” She merely replied, and that evasively and hurriedly: Why should she?
hvd.32044086820297	: “ You do n't doubt it's being a blow to Jack, Rosa? ” She merely replied, and that evasively and hurriedly: Why should she?

hvd.32044086820297	A villa?
hvd.32044086820297	Am I agreed with generally in the views I take? ” “ I entirely coincide with them, ” said Mr. Crisparkle, who had been very attentive.

hvd.32044086820297	An ancient English Cathedral Tower?
hvd.32044086820297	An estate?
hvd.32044086820297	And even for my whim, Mr. Sapsea here is more accountable than I am. ” “ How so, Mr. Mayor?
hvd.32044086820297	And how did you pass your birthday, Pussy? ” “ Delightfully!
hvd.32044086820297	And if I had not spoken to you, as I have, you would have spoken to me?
hvd.32044086820297	And so you are engaged?
hvd.32044086820297	And tell him that you had the kindness to desire to know how he was? ” “ Aye; do so, do so.
hvd.32044086820297	And we are always quarreling. ” “ Why?"
hvd.32044086820297	And we had a ball at night. ” “ A feast and a ball, eh?
hvd.32044086820297	And what was the feast?
hvd.32044086820297	And what, Ma dear,"inquired the Minor Canon, giving proof of a wholesome and vigorous appetite, “ does the letter say?"
hvd.32044086820297	And you will not think me un- kind because I begin, will you?
hvd.32044086820297	And you, ma'am?"

hvd.32044086820297	But now that I know what you have told me, is there no little chink through which day pierces?
hvd.32044086820297	But what is a difference in age of half a dozen years or so?
hvd.32044086820297	But where could she take refuge, and how could she go?
hvd.32044086820297	But where was she to go?
hvd.32044086820297	Call Mr. Neville! ” “ He left this morning, early. ”, “ Left this morning, early?
hvd.32044086820297	Call yourself an Engineer, and not know that?
hvd.32044086820297	Can there be any sympathetic reason crouching darkly within him?
hvd.32044086820297	Chairs to mend? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086820297	Come, Eddy? ” “ Why should she be such a little — tall, I mean Goose, as to hate the Pyramids, Rosa?
hvd.32044086820297	Come, Eddy? ” “ Why should she be such a little — tall, I mean Goose, as to hate the Pyramids, Rosa?
hvd.32044086820297	Could I dream of the true reason when they would give me none at all?"
hvd.32044086820297	Could you possibly suppose for a mo- ment, from any loose way of speaking of mine, that I was literally afraid of the dear fond fellow?
hvd.32044086820297	Did I not?
hvd.32044086820297	Did it mean that she saw below the sur- face of his thoughts, and down into their twilight depths?
hvd.32044086820297	Did she expect Miss Twinkleton?
hvd.32044086820297	Do n't drink. ” “ Why not? ” “ Asks why not, on Pussy's birthday, and no Happy Returns proposed!
hvd.32044086820297	Do n't you think so?"
hvd.32044086820297	Do you ever say so?
hvd.32044086820297	Do you not find your usual walk with your brother too exposed and cold for the time of year?
hvd.32044086820297	Do you really feel sure that you can answer for him so confidently?"
hvd.32044086820297	Does he send clothes on, in advance of him?
hvd.32044086820297	Eh, Mr. Edwin?"
hvd.32044086820297	Flower- beds and watering- pots?
hvd.32044086820297	For dinner we'll have a tureen of the hottest and strongest soup available, and we'll hav'rew?
hvd.32044086820297	Go on. ” “ Can I anyhow have hurt your feelings, Jack?
hvd.32044086820297	Have you any apartments available, ma'am? ”."
hvd.32044086820297	He reasoned with himself: What was it?
hvd.32044086820297	He will write to her?
hvd.32044086820297	Here Mr. Grewgious, left by the fire with Rosa, said again: “ My dear, how do you do?
hvd.32044086820297	Him? ” says Durdles.
hvd.32044086820297	Hope I see you well. ” “ How are you, Durdles?
hvd.32044086820297	Horses and harness? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086820297	How are you? ”( very shortly.)
hvd.32044086820297	How can the ancient English cathedral tower be here?
hvd.32044086820297	How do you do, Mr. Edwin?
hvd.32044086820297	How does each one of the three get through the day?
hvd.32044086820297	How does our service sound to you?"
hvd.32044086820297	How is it at present endangered? ” he inquires, looking about him with magnificent patronage.
hvd.32044086820297	How long did you stay there? ” “ About ten minutes; I should say not more.
hvd.32044086820297	How stands the fact?
hvd.32044086820297	I asked him for three and sixpence, and he gave it me. ” “ Was n't it a little cool to name your sum?
hvd.32044086820297	I could relate an anecdote in point, but that it would be premature. ” “ If Miss Rosa will allow me then?
hvd.32044086820297	I hate it. ” “ Hate it, Jack? ”( Much bewildered.)
hvd.32044086820297	I have been to my pretty ward's, and am now homeward bound again. ” “ You found her thriving?"
hvd.32044086820297	I hope you can tell me so?
hvd.32044086820297	I merely came to tell her, seriously, what a betrothal by deceased parents is. ” “ And what is it — according to your judgment?
hvd.32044086820297	I only asked him the two questions, what was his Chris'en name, and whether he'd a sweetheart?
hvd.32044086820297	I suppose you know that we come( my sister and I) from Ceylon? ” “ Indeed, no."
hvd.32044086820297	I thought you were your mother! ” “ But what, what, what, ” he added, soothingly,"has happened?
hvd.32044086820297	I would n't dance with you, you know. ” Edwin scarcely seems to see the force of this; begs to know if he may take the liberty to ask why?
hvd.32044086820297	I'll ask for leave. ” That discreet lady being indeed heard without, inquir- ing of nobody in a blandly conversational tone as she advances: “ Eh?
hvd.32044086820297	If I wheel my desk to this corner window, shall I be in the way? ” “ Madam!
hvd.32044086820297	If you are, why have n't you mentioned it to me?
hvd.32044086820297	Inattentive, is n't she?
hvd.32044086820297	Is he behind?
hvd.32044086820297	Is he not with you? ” THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD.
hvd.32044086820297	Is she stupid in everything? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086820297	Is the spike so low a thing as the rusty spike on the top of a post of an old bedstead that has tumbled all awry?
hvd.32044086820297	Is the young gentleman expected shortly? ” “ He has gone away only this morning.
hvd.32044086820297	Is there though?"
hvd.32044086820297	Is this so, and in spite of my struggles against myself, Helena?
hvd.32044086820297	Isises, and Ibises, and Cheopses, and Pharaohses; who cares about them?
hvd.32044086820297	It ai n't a sort of a — scheme of a National Education?"
hvd.32044086820297	It is so absurd. ” “ What is absurd, Rosa?
hvd.32044086820297	Jasper?"
hvd.32044086820297	Judge for yourself whether any other admirer shall love you and live, whose life is in my hand. ” “ What do you mean, sir?
hvd.32044086820297	Let us change to brother and sister from this day forth. ” “ Never be husband and wife?"
hvd.32044086820297	Let's talk. ” “ Do you always live here, sir?
hvd.32044086820297	Master Deputy, what do you owe me?
hvd.32044086820297	May it, Pussy? ” To the portrait, with a snap of his thumb and finger.
hvd.32044086820297	May you not have answered for your sister without sufficient warrant? ” Neville shook his head with a proud smile.
hvd.32044086820297	Memorandum, • Wishes:'My dear, is there any wish of yours that I can further?"
hvd.32044086820297	Might I ask why? ” “ O!

hvd.32044086820297	Must I take to carving them out of my heart?"
hvd.32044086820297	My dear, what has brought you here?
hvd.32044086820297	My gracious me, do n't you understand anything?
hvd.32044086820297	Never. ” 6 What has he done? ” “ He has made a slave of me with his looks.

hvd.32044086820297	On the present occasion, Miss Twinkleton, gracefully gliding in and out, says, in pass- ing: “ How do you do, Mr. Drood?
hvd.32044086820297	Or at all events, when the sun is down, and the weather is driving in from the sea? ” Helena thought not.

hvd.32044086820297	Perhaps Mr. Cris- parkle you will, before going home, look in on Jasper? ” “ Certainly, Mr. Dean.
hvd.32044086820297	Rosa not quite knowing what to say about that, cast down her eyes, and turning to Mr. Grewgious, dutifully asked if she should put her hat on?
hvd.32044086820297	Rosa, my dear, how are you getting on with your work?
hvd.32044086820297	Rosa, my dear, how are you getting on with your work?"
hvd.32044086820297	S. — Love to Miss Pussy at the next music les- son. ” “ You expect Mr. Neville, then?"
hvd.32044086820297	STRANGER PAUSE And ask thyself the Question, CANST THOU DO LIKEWISE?
hvd.32044086820297	Shall I carry your bundle? ” “ Not on any account, ” replies Durdles, adjusting it.
hvd.32044086820297	Shall I wait, while you ask if Mr. Neville has left for my place?
hvd.32044086820297	She breathes a light breath into it, and asks, retaining it and looking into it: “ Now say, what do you see? ” “ See, Rosa?
hvd.32044086820297	She breathes a light breath into it, and asks, retaining it and looking into it: “ Now say, what do you see? ” “ See, Rosa?
hvd.32044086820297	She do n't want us, do n't you know?"
hvd.32044086820297	State it?
hvd.32044086820297	Supposing him to have disappeared of his own act, is not his disappearance more accountable and less cruel?
hvd.32044086820297	Surely it was not enough that you should think of me, only as other people did; now, was it? ” The point was not to be got over.
hvd.32044086820297	Tell me, Jack,"the young fellow then flows on: “ do you really and truly feel as if the mention of our relationship divided us at all?
hvd.32044086820297	That would not be generous, would it?
hvd.32044086820297	That's Jarsper's. ” “ Indeed? ” said Mr. Datchery, with a second look of some interest.
hvd.32044086820297	That's it, is it? ” said the young man.
hvd.32044086820297	The Very Reverend the Dean refers to that?
hvd.32044086820297	The old chap gave Durdles a look with his open eyes, as much as to say “ Is your name Durdles?
hvd.32044086820297	The well- known massive gray square tower of its old Cathedral?
hvd.32044086820297	Then who do you make out did the deed?"
hvd.32044086820297	Then, he becomes half conscious of having heard himself bolted and barred out, like a dangerous animal; and thinks what shall he do?
hvd.32044086820297	Then, he says with a quiet smile: “ You wo n't be warned, then? ” “ No Jack. ”* You ca n't be warned, then? ” “ No, Jack, not by you.
hvd.32044086820297	Then, he says with a quiet smile: “ You wo n't be warned, then? ” “ No Jack. ”* You ca n't be warned, then? ” “ No, Jack, not by you.
hvd.32044086820297	This Mr. Edwin Drood, sir: I think that's the name? ” “ Quite correct, ” said Mr. Crisparkle.
hvd.32044086820297	Though that seems wretchedly prejudiced — does it not?
hvd.32044086820297	Three months ago. ” “ How did she phrase it? ” “ O!
hvd.32044086820297	Thus cast off, Miss Twinkleton wildly inquired, “ which gentleman, ” was to be paid?

hvd.32044086820297	“ How's she looking, Jack?
hvd.32044086820297	“ How? ” was Jasper's inquiry, in a low and slow voice, after a silence.
hvd.32044086820297	“ I dropped you, did I? ” he says, picking it up, and recalling that part of his dream.
hvd.32044086820297	“ I hope you will, ” was the good- humored reply., 66 Eh?
hvd.32044086820297	“ I suppose a curious stranger might come to see you, and your works, Mr. Durdles, at any odd time? ” said Mr. Datchery upon that.
hvd.32044086820297	“ I surprise you, sir? ” he said, with a quick change to a submissive manner.
hvd.32044086820297	“ I was going to say Pussy, and changed my mind;- did she tell you anything about the Landlesses?"
hvd.32044086820297	“ I wish I were not going to this dinner, Helena. ” “ Dear Neville, is it worth while to care much about it?

hvd.32044086820297	“ Is he to follow us?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Is n't it customary to leave the amount open?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Is n't it unsatisfactory to be cut off from choice in such a matter?

hvd.32044086820297	“ Lately, I presume? ”.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Look here, Jack; tell me; whose birthday is it?"

hvd.32044086820297	“ No, Miss, more of a brown gentleman. ” “ You are sure not with black hair?
hvd.32044086820297	“ No?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Not frightened? ” “ No, not that, ” said Rosa, shyly; “ in Mr. Tartar's way.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Not mine, you know?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Nothing is the matter? ” Thus Jasper accosted him, rather quickly.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Only there? ” cries Edwin Drood, with a contempt- uous laugh.
hvd.32044086820297	“ PRosa?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Pussy thinks so. ” “ When did she tell you that? ” “ The last time I was here.

hvd.32044086820297	“ Shall I put it off till to- morrow?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Should you do it in your fancy, when you were lying here doing this? ”.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Six foot inside that wall is Mrs. Sapsea. ” “ Not really Mrs. Sapsea?
hvd.32044086820297	“ So, you settled with her that you would come back at Christmas?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Sorry to hear from Tope that you have not been well, Jasper. ” “ O, it was nothing, nothing! ” “ You look a little worn. ” “ Do I?
hvd.32044086820297	“ That we might be to one another even much more than they have been to one another?
hvd.32044086820297	“ That's Tope's? ” 6 Yer lie; it ai n't.
hvd.32044086820297	“ That's a pretty sentiment, Rosa, considering. ” “ Considering what? ” “ If I say what, you'll go wrong again."
hvd.32044086820297	“ Then, to be told that you discontinued your study with me, was to be politely told that you abandoned it altogether? ” he suggested.
hvd.32044086820297	“ This is for the monument, is it, Mr. Sapsea? ” “ The Inscription.
hvd.32044086820297	“ To rest upon in a long walk, sir?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Tut, tut?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Umps! ” said Mr. Grewgious. “ He did n't say he was coming, perhaps?"
hvd.32044086820297	“ We have got to hit it off yet; have n't we, Pussy?
hvd.32044086820297	“ We know we are better so, even now? ”.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Well then, why did you begin with your detestable red- nosed Giantesses?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Well? ” says Jasper, smiling.
hvd.32044086820297	“ What are you doing to the man? ” demands Jasper, stepping out into the moonlight from the shade.
hvd.32044086820297	“ What do you suspect me of, Mister Jarsper? ” he asks, with drunken displeasure.
hvd.32044086820297	“ What followed?
hvd.32044086820297	“ What friend o'yourn is dead? ” asks Durdles.
hvd.32044086820297	“ What harm?"
hvd.32044086820297	“ What is all this, sir?
hvd.32044086820297	“ What is it? ” “ Well.

hvd.32044086820297	“ What things?
hvd.32044086820297	“ What visions can she have? ” the waking man muses, as he turns her face towards him, and stands look- ing down at it.
hvd.32044086820297	“ What you call quick- lime? ” “ Aye! ” says Durdles;"quick enough to eat your boots.
hvd.32044086820297	“ What's the good of it to me? ” “ Be a Member of that Society, ” said the passenger.
hvd.32044086820297	“ When are you going to sea again?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Where are you going to? ” “ Back to London, deary.

hvd.32044086820297	“ Who said so?"
hvd.32044086820297	“ Why did I come here?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Why do you ask me?"
hvd.32044086820297	“ Why do you attend upon me in this way? ” he asked the whole body.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Why not, Ma? ” 6 Because I do n't,"said the old lady.
hvd.32044086820297	“ Will it come back to me?
hvd.32044086820297	“ With her music?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Would n't you help me to pay for my travellers'lodging, dear gentleman, and to pay my way along?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Would she?
hvd.32044086820297	“ Yes; but not quite — not quite in the right way, shall I say?
hvd.32044086820297	“ You approve, sir? ” “ Impossible not to approve.
hvd.32044086820297	“ You do n't know the sort of nose, Rosa, ” with some warmth; “ because it's nothing of the kind. ” “ Not a pale nose, Eddy?
hvd.32044086820297	“ You have not been sent for? ” “ Not at all, not at all.
hvd.32044086820297	“ You know that he loves you?
hvd.32044086820297	“ You know very little of your guardian? ” the Minor Canon repeated.
hvd.32044086820297	“ You mean that he must leave my house, sir? ” “ Mr. Crisparkle, ” returned the prudent Dean, “ I claim no authority in your house.

hvd.32044086820297	“ You remember suggesting when you brought us together, that, as a lover of the picturesque, it might be worth my while?"
hvd.32044086820297	“ You see, we could not know what you were before- hand, sir; could we? ” “ Clearly not, ” said Mr. Crisparkle.
hvd.32044086820297	“ You surely do n't speak for yourself, Mr. Durdles,"returned Mr. Datchery, “ any more than for His Honor. ” “ Who's His Honor?
hvd.32044086820297	“ You will be a friend to me, wo n't you? ” “ I hope so.
hvd.32044086820297	“ You will take something with me? ” said Jasper, as the cloth was laid.
hvd.32044086820297	” “ And so I am engaged. ” “ Is she nice? ” “ Charming. ” “ Tall?"
hvd.32044086820297	” “ And so I am engaged. ” “ Is she nice? ” “ Charming. ” “ Tall?"
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Did anybody make game to be ” – “ To be you?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Have n't you a sweetheart, upon your soul?"
hvd.32044086820297	” “ He must be told, I suppose?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ How can you have hurt my feelings?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ My sister's consent to sit for it being first got, I suppose?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Object?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Rest upon?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ She can learn anything, if she will. ” “ If she will?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Tarts, oranges, jellies, and shrimps. ” “ Any partners at the ball? ” “ We danced with one another, of course, sir.
hvd.32044086820297	” “ What's the medicine? ” “ I'll be honest with you beforehand, as well as after.
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Who but you, sir?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Why, I thought you Egyptian boys could look into a hand and see all sorts of phantoms?
hvd.32044086820297	” “ Why, how should I know it, Rosa? ”.
hvd.32044086820297	• 173 dead:- your own family of dead, up in the corner there. ” “ Did you touch me? ” “ Touch you?
hvd.32044086820297	• 173 dead:- your own family of dead, up in the corner there. ” “ Did you touch me? ” “ Touch you?
hvd.32044086820297	• Where do you come from? ” “ Come from London, deary. ”( Her cough still rend- ing her.)
hvd.32044011348703	& Yes. ” AT THREE A.M. 33** In this hotel? ”& 4 YeS. ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044011348703	** HOW foolish I? ” “ You were over- tired, ” he still, still uncon- sciously holding her hand.
hvd.32044011348703	- “ Why did you leave the Grand Babylon that night? ” Nella began her examination, putting On a stern, barrister- like expression.
hvd.32044011348703	11 162 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER Who would have guessed that anything was going on here?
hvd.32044011348703	111 on that first night?
hvd.32044011348703	17 in the dining- room, in ten minutes from now?
hvd.32044011348703	3) “ Till the end of June. ” “ And it is now the end of July. ” “ Well, what is a month?
hvd.32044011348703	32 “ Because I always get what I want. ” “ Then you wanted to see me again? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.32044011348703	A plot against me?
hvd.32044011348703	Again she made no reply, but the question Set her thinking: why had she mixed herself up in this mysterious business?
hvd.32044011348703	And did they actually happen in Lon- don hotels?
hvd.32044011348703	And may we go on your boat?
hvd.32044011348703	And what functions?
hvd.32044011348703	And will you do me the honour of lunching with me to- morrow? ” Mr. Rocco gasped, bowed, muttered something in French, and departed.
hvd.32044011348703	And yet why should you understand me?
hvd.32044011348703	And you know the Prin- cess Anna ’s fortune is pretty big?
hvd.32044011348703	Are you aware that your nephew, Prince Eugen, owes a million of money? ” “ A million of money! ” cried Prince Aribert, astonished.
hvd.32044011348703	Are you ready to take that risk? ” “ I am, ” the Prince smiled.
hvd.32044011348703	Arson?
hvd.32044011348703	As she came downstairs with her father she said again, “ Prince Eugen is dying — but I think you can save him. ” “ I? ” exclaimed Theodore.
hvd.32044011348703	At least, so she tells me. ” “ Is Miss Spencer on board? ” Nella asked, Seeing perhaps a faint ray of hope in the possible presence of a woman.
hvd.32044011348703	Besides, suppose he forgot to wipe the bottle? ” “ Prince Eugen is always served at dinner by Hans.
hvd.32044011348703	But how? ” “ I do not know, ” he replied.
hvd.32044011348703	But what are they besides?
hvd.32044011348703	But what else could be done?
hvd.32044011348703	But wherein lies the difficulty? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044011348703	But whose corpse?
hvd.32044011348703	But, thank goodness, it has not been ineffectual. ” “ What do you mean, Eugen?
hvd.32044011348703	By the way, who is that chair for? ” He noticed that a third cover had been laid at the table.
hvd.32044011348703	By what miracle? ” “ My father, ” she replied, softly, “ will do any- thing that I ask him.
hvd.32044011348703	Could this be a West End hotel, Racksole's own hotel, in the very heart of London, the best- policed city in the world?
hvd.32044011348703	Did I do anything silly?
hvd.32044011348703	Did I faint? ” “ What has happened?
hvd.32044011348703	Did I faint? ” “ What has happened?
hvd.32044011348703	Did queer things actually happen in Europe?
hvd.32044011348703	Dimmock? ” questioned Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	Do n’t you think it's time you got out of the rut?
hvd.32044011348703	Do n’t you?
hvd.32044011348703	Do you consider there ls any hope, Sir Charles? ”- “ If I had seen him when he recovered con- Sciousness I should have said there was hope.
hvd.32044011348703	Do you hear me? ” 342 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER Eugen almost sat up in bed.
hvd.32044011348703	Do you suppos., he is anxious to give himself up to justice, or that the chains of habit bind him to the hotel? ” “ Neither, ” said Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	Does n’t it strike you?
hvd.32044011348703	Does one receive them formally — stand bowing in the entrance- hall, or anything of that sort? ” “ Not necessarily.
hvd.32044011348703	Dy- namite plot?
hvd.32044011348703	Eugen, let us come to the point; why do you want that million?
hvd.32044011348703	Flatter?
hvd.32044011348703	For example, have you yet heard about Miss Spencer? ” “ No, ” said Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	Had she acted merely from a desire to see justice done and wickedness punished?
hvd.32044011348703	Had you thought of that? ” “ I had not, ” Babylon admitted.
hvd.32044011348703	Has he been confiding in you? ” “ Somewhat.
hvd.32044011348703	Have you had much to do with him before? ” “ Well, ” Eugen hesitated a second, “ a little.
hvd.32044011348703	Have you not two rooms that communicate? ” Nella consulted her books, rather awkwardly.
hvd.32044011348703	Have you? ” “ I have not had that pleasure, ” said little Félix, bowing again, and absently taking up a bottle which lay to his hand.
hvd.32044011348703	He owes it to his country, to Posen. ” “ How large is Posen? ” asked Racksole bluntly.
hvd.32044011348703	He said I should be useful to him there. ” “ Is your husband an Anarchist, or something of that kind, Miss Spencer? ”- “ I do n’t know.
hvd.32044011348703	He said that the money, subject to cer- tain formalities, would be available till 33{{ Till?
hvd.32044011348703	He took it for safety. ” “ Then how do you feed your prisoner? ” Rack- sole asked sharply.
hvd.32044011348703	He was the driver. ” “ And no one else saw the business? ” “ The quay was deserted.
hvd.32044011348703	Here are the papers, and I should like to finish the matter up at once. ” “ Exactly, your Highness, but — ” “ But what?
hvd.32044011348703	Here, ” to the two men, “ out again. ” “ Why?''
hvd.32044011348703	How can I clamber up there? ” “ Yes, I daresay you ’ve got a revolver all right, ” Hazell replied, sharply.
hvd.32044011348703	How could that be? ” “ They expected someone.
hvd.32044011348703	How did you? ” asked Nella, her face lighting up.
hvd.32044011348703	How do you find his Royal Highness? ” The old man saluted, military fashion.
hvd.32044011348703	How many hotel proprietors in the world, Racksole asked himself, would have let that beef- steak and Bass go by without a word of comment?
hvd.32044011348703	How on earth have you got into your sage old head this notion of a plot against me?
hvd.32044011348703	How soon could you realise as much as that? ” “ Oh! ” he answered, “ in about a month, if I went about it neatly enough.
hvd.32044011348703	How was this condi- tion of affairs to be explained?
hvd.32044011348703	How? ” she asked unaffectedly.
hvd.32044011348703	I am never hope- ful when the patient is not on my side. ” “ You mean —? ” “ I mean that his Royal Highness has no desire to live.
hvd.32044011348703	I began to disapprove of his methods no less than a week ago, and my disapproval will now take an active form. ” “ Will it? ” said Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	I calculate it ’s something far worse than a burglary. ” “ What? ” she cried.
hvd.32044011348703	I did not know what I was doing. ” “ Why did you kiss me? ” she repeated.
hvd.32044011348703	I did n’t trust to anything except Rocco, and he deceived me. ” “ But why did you quarrel with him? ” “ I did n’t quarrel with him.
hvd.32044011348703	I found him embalming a corpse in the State bedroom one might — — ” “ You what? ” Babylon almost screamed.
hvd.32044011348703	I have ar- ranged it. ” “ You have arranged it? ” He bent over her, almost with an air of alarm.
hvd.32044011348703	I have dismissed him. ” “ You have dismissed him? ” “ Why not? ” “ There is no reason why not.
hvd.32044011348703	I have dismissed him. ” “ You have dismissed him? ” “ Why not? ” “ There is no reason why not.
hvd.32044011348703	I knew about this projected loan before I saw you in Ostend. ” 232 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER “ Who told you? ” demanded Eugen, fiercely.
hvd.32044011348703	I merely ask. ” “ And what if I do owe a million? ” said Prince Eugen with assumed valour.
hvd.32044011348703	I see, ” said the Prince; “ this is one of your American ‘ strokes. ’ You have bought to sell again, is that not it?
hvd.32044011348703	I shall never be Count Steenbock again. ” “ Who knows? ” she said.
hvd.32044011348703	I shall want Some hot water, and an able- bodied man and a nurse. ” “ Who wants a nurse? ” said a voice, and Nella came quietly in.
hvd.32044011348703	I suppose you are n’t doing anything in Kaffirs? ” Mr. RackSole Smiled a negative.
hvd.32044011348703	I suppose, ” he added, “ you find a difficulty in appreciating my state of mind when I did the deal? ” “ Not a bit, ” said Mr. Levi.
hvd.32044011348703	I think I will go out and forage for a lantern. ” “ And a revolver? ” suggested Prince Aribert.
hvd.32044011348703	I think you know the rest. ” “ Was the yacht all ready for sea? ” “ The yacht was all ready for sea.
hvd.32044011348703	I wished him good luck, and we parted. ” “ Constantinople, eh? ” said Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	I ’ll do what I can. ” “ Well, ” said Racksole, clearing his throat, “ what ’s the scheme all about?
hvd.32044011348703	I ’m bound to win. ” “ Why? ” asked the Prince.
hvd.32044011348703	If I may, I will accompany you. ” “ Why not to- night? ” Racksole suggested, calmly.
hvd.32044011348703	If a million pounds will save Prince Eugen ’s life, they are at his disposal. ” “ But how — how have you managed it?
hvd.32044011348703	If he had 55 “ But would not the Emperor know of this proposed loan? ” “ Not necessarily at once.
hvd.32044011348703	If he had not been poisoned why was his body stolen?
hvd.32044011348703	In this house? ” Miss Spencer nodded, and, looking up, Nella Could see the traces of tears in her face.
hvd.32044011348703	Is it actually true that you are so deeply in debt?
hvd.32044011348703	Is not that a responsibility? ” “ Ah! ” he said.
hvd.32044011348703	Is not that it?
hvd.32044011348703	It depends — eh?
hvd.32044011348703	It is very late: Hubbard will have gone to bed. ” 260 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER “ And may I ask who is Hubbard?
hvd.32044011348703	It ’s got nothing to do with father at all. ” “ But Mr. Racksole is extremely wealthy? ” “ Wealthy is n’t the word, Count.
hvd.32044011348703	May I not possess a house? ” He smiled.
hvd.32044011348703	May I rely on your sympathy — your support? ” “ My support, Prince?
hvd.32044011348703	May I rely on your sympathy — your support? ” “ My support, Prince?
hvd.32044011348703	Mr. RackSole, why have you never run a hotel? ” AT THREE A. M. 37 “ Heaven knows, ” he laughed, “ but you flatter me, Mr. Babylon. ” “ I?
hvd.32044011348703	Mr. RackSole, why have you never run a hotel? ” AT THREE A. M. 37 “ Heaven knows, ” he laughed, “ but you flatter me, Mr. Babylon. ” “ I?
hvd.32044011348703	My father's wealth? ” “ No, ” he said; “ your freedom and your re- sponsibilities. ” “ I have no responsibilities, ” she remarked.
hvd.32044011348703	My name is Racksole — Theodore Racksole. ” “ Of New York? ” questioned a voice at the door, with a slight foreign accent.
hvd.32044011348703	Never- theless, it is so. ” “ But why? ” asked Racksole, more mystified than ever.
hvd.32044011348703	Now if one might guess at your own wealth? ” Félix Babylon was imitat- ing the other's freedom.
hvd.32044011348703	Now, Mr. RackSole, ” he added, abruptly changing his tone, “ where do you suppose Prince Eugen has disappeared to?
hvd.32044011348703	Now, if the Emperor thought that Eugen was here, why should he have caused the telegram to be addressed to me?
hvd.32044011348703	Only it is rather a large sum to have scattered in ten years, is it not?
hvd.32044011348703	Or was it the desire of adventure?
hvd.32044011348703	Or was it, per- haps, the desire to be of service to His Serene Highness Prince Aribert?
hvd.32044011348703	Racksole, we speak in confidence — is it not so?
hvd.32044011348703	Rocco? ” questioned Racksole lightly.
hvd.32044011348703	See? ” Without answering this question Mr. Levi asked another.
hvd.32044011348703	See? ” “ I see, ” replied Rocco calmly, “ but I guess I ca n’t answer all questions.
hvd.32044011348703	Shall we say from to- night? ” “ As you will.
hvd.32044011348703	Shall you be able to save His Highness?
hvd.32044011348703	Shall you give me the hotel for a birthday pres- ent? ” “ No.
hvd.32044011348703	Should I wait for the mysterious visitor to return, and stab him with my pocket Scissors if he tried to enter, or should I raise an alarm?
hvd.32044011348703	Some of your hus- band ’s friends? ” “ Some of his — acquaintances. ” “ Then there is a gang of you? ” “ A gang of us — a gang!
hvd.32044011348703	Some of your hus- band ’s friends? ” “ Some of his — acquaintances. ” “ Then there is a gang of you? ” “ A gang of us — a gang!

hvd.32044011348703	Surely you do n’t sug- IN THE WINE CELLARS 257 º gest that he will attempt the life of Prince Eugen in this hotel? ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044011348703	Surely you do n’t sug- IN THE WINE CELLARS 257 º gest that he will attempt the life of Prince Eugen in this hotel? ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044011348703	Tell me, Miss Racksole, how did you discover my identity? ” “ I must not say, ” she answered.
hvd.32044011348703	Ten pounds apiece if we overtake him? ” THE NIGHT CHASE AND MUD- LARK 303 I believe I ’m getting quite excited.
hvd.32044011348703	That is so, is n’t it, Nella?"
hvd.32044011348703	That is surely very wrong of you?
hvd.32044011348703	That ’s why I ’m surprised he is n’t in London. ”- “ What did he need a million for? ” “ Debts, ” answered Sampson Levi laconically.
hvd.32044011348703	The King of Bosnia sued for it, but his proposal was declined. ”( 4 Why?
hvd.32044011348703	The only thing that passes me is this: Why should anyone want to make Prince Eugen disappear?
hvd.32044011348703	Therefore Theodore Racksole con- tinued his perambulations unchallenged, and kept saying to himself, “ I must do something. ” But what?
hvd.32044011348703	Therefore, why not now? ” Babylon shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044011348703	These are no ordinary hotel people. ” “ Ca n’t I give the little girl a bracelet? ” Prince Eugen gave a sinister laugh.
hvd.32044011348703	Twig?
hvd.32044011348703	Twig? ”( Mr. Sampson Levi always used this extraordinary word when he was in a communi- cative mood.)
hvd.32044011348703	We will see presently. ” “ They took him away, Miss Racksole. ” “ Who took him away?
hvd.32044011348703	Were conspiracies actually possible nowa- days?
hvd.32044011348703	Were n't my books all straight? ” “ Your books were all straight.
hvd.32044011348703	Were you ill? ” he questioned anxiously.
hvd.32044011348703	What are we to do?
hvd.32044011348703	What can be the object of a plot against him? ” “ That is a point of which you should know more than me, ” she remarked drily.
hvd.32044011348703	What do you want?
hvd.32044011348703	What for?"
hvd.32044011348703	What have you been doing to Dimmock ’s body? ” “ How long were you in that bathroom? ” Rocco parried, with sublime impudence.
hvd.32044011348703	What have you been doing to Dimmock ’s body? ” “ How long were you in that bathroom? ” Rocco parried, with sublime impudence.
hvd.32044011348703	What million? ” His eyes wandered uneasily round the room.
hvd.32044011348703	What scheme?
hvd.32044011348703	What young man in my position has n’t had something to do with Mr. Sampson Levi at one time or another? ” “ I have n’t, ” said Aribert.
hvd.32044011348703	Who told you? ” “ Theodore Racksole, the millionaire.
hvd.32044011348703	Why can not we have faith in each other?
hvd.32044011348703	Why did 132 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER you buy this hotel?
hvd.32044011348703	Why did he want you to leave without giving notice? ” “ I ’m sure I do n’t know, Miss Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	Why did you buy the Grand Babylon?
hvd.32044011348703	Why should I want materials?
hvd.32044011348703	Why wo n’t you let us pass? ” 202 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER As a matter of fact, pluck was just what she had not, really.
hvd.32044011348703	Why, the fun has only just begun. ” “ Do you call last night fun? ” questioned Racksole, gazing at her solemnly.
hvd.32044011348703	Will you come, now, at once? ” ROCCO ANSWERS SOME QUESTIONS 167 “ With pleasure, ” said Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	Would n’t he have an interest in causing Prince Eugen to disappear — at any rate, for a time? ” Sampson Levi thought hard*, few mo- ments.
hvd.32044011348703	Would you not abdicate? ” “ Ah! ” he gave a low cry.
hvd.32044011348703	You comprehend? ” Rocco smiled in his grand manner, and Rocco's master thereupon went away.
hvd.32044011348703	You do understand that, do n’t you?
hvd.32044011348703	You know him?
hvd.32044011348703	You may say that the sun does set on his empire? ” “ It does, ” said Dimmock.
hvd.32044011348703	You might as well offer him sixpence. ” “ Then what must I offer? ” “ Nothing, except your thanks.
hvd.32044011348703	You must take care of yourself. ” “ Who will lend the money? ” Eugen asked in a feeble, happy whisper.
hvd.32044011348703	You ought to know that by this time. ” “ How soon could you realise a million pounds? ” “ A million — what? ” he cried.
hvd.32044011348703	You ought to know that by this time. ” “ How soon could you realise a million pounds? ” “ A million — what? ” he cried.
hvd.32044011348703	You see, the suspicions of your police obliged me to be partic- ularly spry. ” “ And who carried them out? ” “ Ah!
hvd.32044011348703	You understand?
hvd.32044011348703	You will never marry the Princess Anna. ” “ And why? ” said Eugen, supercilious again.
hvd.32044011348703	You will not object to the detectives looking through your rooms? ” “ Certainly not, ” and Rocco shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044011348703	e e-- b t “ He is n’t in this house? ”\º/ “ No, miss. ” “ Ah!
hvd.32044011348703	here you are Where have you sprung from???
hvd.32044011348703	here you are Where have you sprung from???
hvd.32044011348703	here you are Where have you sprung from???
hvd.32044011348703	selves to themselves. ” “ Do you know if he has ever committed a murder?
hvd.32044011348703	teur who practises murder — ” “ What about Reginald Dimmock? ” she inter- jected quickly.
hvd.32044011348703	ture, is it not? ” suggested Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	very, very rich? ” She smiled anx- iously, timidly.
hvd.32044011348703	» y “ Then what is it? ” asked the Prince.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Am I?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Am I? ” Nella replied, as firmly as she could, though her hand shook violently with excite- ment, could Miss Spencer but have observed it.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And Félix Babylon has gone? ” “ He is going, if he has not already gone. ” “ Ah!
hvd.32044011348703	“ And I was angry because the lad did not meet me at Charing Cross! ” “ Are you sure he is dead, father? ” Nella said.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And Miss Spencer after her, do you think? ” questioned Aribert.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And Romanée- Conti afterwards? ” said Hans.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And now, shall we go?
hvd.32044011348703	“ And now, what next? ” said the Prince.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And what was Prince Eugen ’s object in coming to London? ” Aribert hesitated.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And you are aware of the cause? ” Aribert nodded an affirmative.
hvd.32044011348703	“ And yours? ” “ I, ” said the prince, “ I have your daughter ’s. ” “ The deuce you have! ” murmured Racksole to himself.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Anybody with Mr. Theodore Racksole? ” asked Jules, continuing his conversation with Miss Spencer.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Anyone aboard? ” Racksole heard him cry out, and a woman ’s voice answered.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Anything happened? ” Racksole asked.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Are you mistaking this for Hyde Park? ” He bowed and smiled.
hvd.32044011348703	“ As for you, Count, surely you have sufficient responsibilities of your Own? ” “ I? ” he said sadly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ As for you, Count, surely you have sufficient responsibilities of your Own? ” “ I? ” he said sadly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Beautiful sun- rise, is n’t it? ” The clever and calculated inso- lence of his tone cut her like a lash as she lay bound in the chair.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Besides what I shall receive from you, I have half a million invested. ” “ Then you will be nearly a millionaire? ” Félix Babylon nodded.
hvd.32044011348703	“ But can not remove it? ” “ No, ” said Aribert.
hvd.32044011348703	“ But surely you are a true American? ” ques- tioned Babylon.
hvd.32044011348703	“ But what about the Spencer female? ” Rack- sole had said.
hvd.32044011348703	“ By the way, is not Prince Eugen coming here to- day?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Can you get off this after- noon? ” he asked.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Coward, am I?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Dad, ” the girl began, “ you are very rich, are n’t you?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Did Mr. Tom Jackson want to get some money out of Prince Eugen? ” “ Money!
hvd.32044011348703	“ Did you expect me to be conventional? ” he retorted.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Does it mean revolvers? ” The millionaire laughed.
hvd.32044011348703	“ From what date do you wish the purchase to take effect? ” asked Babylon.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Had We not better postpone the recital till we get ashore? ” “ I will row and you shall talk, ” said Nella.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Have I not informed you, ” he said, “ that I have the intention of going quietly? ” Racksole felt almost ashamed for the moment.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Have pity on me, ” she murmured, “ I ca n’t tell you any more. ”( 4 Why?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Have you ever had anything to do with hotels before? ” “ Never, ” said Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Have you ever thought of Bosnia? ” asked Aribert coldly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ He sent me back on an — an errand, your High- ness. ” “ And you were to rejoin him here? ” “ Just so, Highness.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Heard about Jules? ” said Racksole abruptly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Hello, my dear Mr. Racksole, this is an unexpected — ah — pleasure. ” “ Where is my daughter?
hvd.32044011348703	“ His own? ” “ Certainly. ” 134 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER “ But he is n’t thirty years of age? ” “ What of that?
hvd.32044011348703	“ His own? ” “ Certainly. ” 134 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER “ But he is n’t thirty years of age? ” “ What of that?
hvd.32044011348703	“ His own? ” “ Certainly. ” 134 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER “ But he is n’t thirty years of age? ” “ What of that?
hvd.32044011348703	“ How can I tell you, ” she said, “ when I do n’t know?
hvd.32044011348703	“ How could it possibly be done? ” he asked at length.
hvd.32044011348703	“ How did this happen? ” Aribert asked, amazed and startled.
hvd.32044011348703	“ How do you know what my business is with him? ” “ Suffice it to say that I know.
hvd.32044011348703	“ How?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Hurt? ” she inquired coldly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ I envy you. ” “ You envy me — what?
hvd.32044011348703	“ I suppose you are fairly well off? ” said RackSole, in that easy familiar style of his, as though the idea had just occurred to him.
hvd.32044011348703	“ I ’m going to Ostend. ” “ To Ostend? ” “ Yes, now. ” “ But, really, Mr. Racksole, ” protested the detective.
hvd.32044011348703	“ If what? ” Miss Spencer remarked.
hvd.32044011348703	“ In spite of the fact that you never hoped to see me again? ” “ Yes, in spite of that. ” “ How funny!
hvd.32044011348703	“ Is it Mr. Racksole in that boat? ” he inquired, calmly; “ because, if so, let Mr. RackSole step up.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Is it you?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Is the Grand Duke content always to stay at home? ” “ On the contrary, he is a great traveller, much more so than Prince Aribert.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Is your Highness travelling quite alone? ” she asked.
hvd.32044011348703	“ It is a good hotel, and I know the proprietor personally. ” “ Rather expensive, is it not? ” said Babylon.
hvd.32044011348703	“ It ’s Miss Spencer, disguised'Why did n't I think of that before? ” Her thoughts ran in- stantly to Prince Aribert.
hvd.32044011348703	“ It ’s you, is it? ” he murmured, faintly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Jules is going to have another try — that ’s all. ” “ Another try at what? ” “ At Prince Eugen.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Jules? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Kiss whom? ” said Aribert, blushing and 228 T. RACKSOLE AND DAUGHTER angry, despite his most determined efforts to keep calm and unconcerned.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Know anything about them? ” “ Well — no, not exactly, ” said Mr. Levi.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Many customers? ” asked Félix Babylon.
hvd.32044011348703	“ May I inquire what you are doing in my wine cellar, Nella Racksole? ” said the millionaire a little stiffly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ May I sit down? ” “ Certainly, sit down, ” said Miss Spencer, copying the girl's tone.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Murder?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Not heart disease? ”& 4 No.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Nothing, sir. ” “ Servants say anything? ” “ Only a dozen or so of'em are up yet, sir.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Now what, if I may ask the question, is going to be your next step? ” “ That is just what I desire to know myself, ” said Theodore Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Now, how can we be of service to each other?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Numbers 122 and 123 communicate. ” “ Or is it 121 and 122? ” the little old lady remarked quickly, and then bit her lip.
hvd.32044011348703	“ On the third floor, madam? ” questioned Nella, in her best clerkly manner.
hvd.32044011348703	“ One toothbrush, one razor, two slip- pers, eh? ” He laughed.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Prince Eugen is the victim of a plot. ” “ You think So? ” “ I am perfectly convinced of it. ” “ But why?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Prince Eugen is the victim of a plot. ” “ You think So? ” “ I am perfectly convinced of it. ” “ But why?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Save your life, Miss Racksole?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Shall we draw up the little informal contract?
hvd.32044011348703	“ She's where? ” he queried, with a peculiar emphasis.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Sir? ” said Jules.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Surely his Highness has not taken poison? ” said Hans.
hvd.32044011348703	“ The future is not in our hands, Prince. ” “ But you are hopeful?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Then Prince Eugen was a prisoner?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Then had he some reason for wishing to prevent Prince Eugen from coming to Lon- don? ” “ Perhaps he had.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Then you admit that you are trying to raise a loan? ” “ I admit nothing.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Then, Aribert, do you mean to convey to me that my detention in Ostend was contrived by the agents of the King of Bosnia? ”& 4 I do.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Was I? ” “ You must have been.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Well? ” said RackSole, after he and the Prince had exchanged bows.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Well? ” said Racksole, glancing at the doctor.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What are the best you ’ve got? ” asked Theo- dore Racksole.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What are you doing here? ” “ I am taking Miss Spencer ’s place.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What are you doing on board?
hvd.32044011348703	“ What are you doing, M. Rocco? ” the mil- lionaire asked, smiling.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What did I tell you? ” asked Racksole, lead- ing the way to another table, further up the TOOIn.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What do you mean? ” asked Mr. Levi.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What do you want to talk to me about? ” she asked her companion, as she poured out for him a second cup of tea.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What does this mean? ” “ The poor fellow was just walking across the quadrangle towards the portico when he fell down.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What have you to say to that? ” Racksole ended.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What have you to say to that? ” Racksole insisted.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is it, Eugen? ” he said.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is it, my angel? ” he whispered, and then he kissed her — kissed her twice.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is it? ” asked Prince Eugen crossly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is that? ” asked the Prince, in answer to Racksole ’s remark.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is that? ” asked the millionaire sharply.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is that? ” exclaimed Prince Aribert with a swift cry, pointing to the ground.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What is there to eat? ” “ Nothing. ” “ Then let ’s have it.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What of Bosnia? ” “ I need not tell you that the King of Bosnia is naturally under obligations to Austria, to whom he owes his crown.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What of her? ” “ She has mysteriously vanished during the night, and nobody appears to be able to throw any light on the affair.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What on earth are you driving at? ” “ A million pounds, I said.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What wages do you require in lieu of notice?
hvd.32044011348703	“ What wine will your Royal Highness take? ” asked old Hans in his soothing tones, when the soup was served.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What ’s that for? ” said her father.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What ’s this all about? ” he asked, somewhat mystified, and even alarmed by the extreme seri- Ousness of her face.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What's this? ” She pointed to the form on the sofa.
hvd.32044011348703	“ What’r'you doing of aboard my barge?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Where am I? ” she asked vaguely, in a tremulous tone.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Where is Prince Eugen now? ” she asked at length.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Where is my father? ” Nella asked of Hans.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Where? ” “ Well, it was early this morning, in Paris, just before I left there.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Who are you?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Who did it? ” “ Unfair question, ” said Rocco.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Who else is in this precious scheme besides Jules and yourself? ” “ Do n’t know, on my honour. ” “ Well, then, tell me this.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Who has been talking?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Who knows? ” said Rocco, twisting his beau- tiful moustache.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Who ’s Number 107? ” Jules asked this black- robed lady.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Whose luggage is that? ” he inquired per- emptorily.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why did you do it? ” “ I was fascinated — fascinated by Jules.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why did you kiss her — that night? ” asked Prince Eugen carelessly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why did you kiss me? ” “ Ah!
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why did you mix yourself up in my affairs at all? ” he went on.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why should I weary you with my confi- dences? ” he said.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why should it be?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why should you trouble to em- balm the poor chap's corpse? ” “ Ca n't you see?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why should you trouble to em- balm the poor chap's corpse? ” “ Ca n't you see?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why wo n’t you let us pass? ” “ I dare n’t, ” she said, with a plaintive tremor.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Why?
hvd.32044011348703	“ Will it not be necessary to make some awkward explanation to the doctor? ” “ Not at all! ” she replied.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Will you force me to say these things?
hvd.32044011348703	“ You are Mr. Félix Babylon? ” The man bowed.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You are better now. ” “ You think so? ” murmured the other.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You are n’t satisfied with me, sir? ” “ To be frank, Jules, I think — I think you — er — wink too much.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You have had anxieties, Mr. Racksole? ” “ Still have them.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You never saw what? ” Aribert Smiled affectionately on the old fellow.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You want, as it were, to catch Mr. Jules alive? ” said Babylon, who seemed rather taken aback at this novel method of dealing with crim- inals.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You wish to see me? ” the newcomer sug- gested.
hvd.32044011348703	“ You, too, enjoyed it? ” he said eagerly.
hvd.32044011348703	“ Ze — ze, vat you call it, millionaire? ” “ Exactly, ” Racksole put in, and continued quickly: “ Mr.
hvd.32044011348703	“ ’ Ear’im? ” said the fat man, smiling.
hvd.hn6pvk	And is there no cure for clergyman's sore throat?
hvd.hn6pvk	Bessie”-I spoke a little more sharply, and I looked at her closely—“Bessie, have you seen 212 PRINCE CINDERELLA called him on the telephone? hvd.hn6pvk Ca n't we go up?"
hvd.hn6pvk	Can you forgive me, Miss Meredith? ” he asked, with much more of distress in his voice 184 PRINCE CINDERELLA than a moment's tardiness demanded. hvd.hn6pvk Do you feel satisfied, Billy, with the results of your tramp this afternoon? ” was my quite unexceptional remark.
hvd.hn6pvk	Has Seraph dared to be insolent to you, Mr. Darrah? ” I asked sharply, feeling myself on the verge of I knew not what. hvd.hn6pvk Have you noticed how terribly careless Daisy is growing?"
hvd.hn6pvk	How large a population have you? ” I inquired, more from a desire to draw the sprightly constable out than from any really ardent curiosity. hvd.hn6pvk How long after your marriage did Mr. Mar- tin live, Cousin Sarah? ” I ventured to inquire.
hvd.hn6pvk	In what province, Mr. Darrah, were you working, may I ask? ” “ In Ajmere. hvd.hn6pvk Indeed, ma'am, how can that be?
hvd.hn6pvk	Murder? ” I prompted. hvd.hn6pvk One does n't wear diamonds in the morning, does one? ” I stammered.
hvd.hn6pvk	Perhaps it's wrong I am entirely to be trou- bling you with my presence?
hvd.hn6pvk	Why do you keep it turned so? ” It was n't good manners perhaps, but I could n't help it! hvd.hn6pvk Why, Malory, are you ill? ” “ No, madam.
hvd.hn6pvk	With the basket?
hvd.hn6pvk	You are — you are a Saint Cecilian also, Cousin Sarah? ” I asked faintly. hvd.hn6pvk ( Who is it has said that the capacity for swift movement is always attractive?) hvd.hn6pvk A jewel of such color, size, luster, such a gem as the name Golconda conjures up.... why had he sent it to me? hvd.hn6pvk Also he prob- ably objected because I had forgotten and called him “ Billy. ”Satisfied?
hvd.hn6pvk	Anyway, it was taken — I could n't help that, could I?
hvd.hn6pvk	As for Leighton Darrah-where was he in this tempest of wind and rain?
hvd.hn6pvk	At least none of the good bishops who know my real occupation has suggested that I should be unfrocked. ” 338 PRINCE CINDERELLA"And your herbarium?"
hvd.hn6pvk	Because my Prince glit- tered, was he none the less gold?
hvd.hn6pvk	Behind the china shepherdess...."How did he know of the little key and the place of its hiding?
hvd.hn6pvk	But for what was he himself waiting?
hvd.hn6pvk	But had I not cause to believe that Leighton Darrah's case was desper- ate?
hvd.hn6pvk	But why did he make no outcry?
hvd.hn6pvk	But why had he done so?
hvd.hn6pvk	But you will, I think, accept any state- ment made by Colonel Eldridge? ”"I will, ” came unhesitatingly from Mr. Field's lips.
hvd.hn6pvk	Ca n't you see how utterly hopeless he was?
hvd.hn6pvk	Can it be that likableness is a quality in itself quite apart from the virtues?
hvd.hn6pvk	Could I be developing nerves?
hvd.hn6pvk	Could it be because he had while in India learned of the robin's egg and coveted it?
hvd.hn6pvk	Could my Prince be on those heights?
hvd.hn6pvk	Could n't I scold myself if I chose without being ridiculed for it?
hvd.hn6pvk	Could the stepmother have been right?
hvd.hn6pvk	Cousin Sarah — a member, though by marriage only, of my own family — a thief?
hvd.hn6pvk	Dared I make a friend of the Reverend and tell him all- all, that is, of course, but my love for Leighton Darrah?
hvd.hn6pvk	Did Bessie know of the precious jewel I had so unexpectedly acquired?
hvd.hn6pvk	Did Bob recognize the name of his beloved master and object to it on the tongue of this dark foreign youth?
hvd.hn6pvk	Did Ezra Shutters read my thoughts?
hvd.hn6pvk	Did I have to be chaperoned at breakfast?
hvd.hn6pvk	Does it ever occur to you that your sport is torture and death to them? ”.
hvd.hn6pvk	Does not every man and woman of us believe in his heart that he could have been a Sherlock Holmes?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had I bought a pig in a poke?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had I erred in thus putting temptation at the old chap's very elbow?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had he for once in his life failed of his duty?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had he not said as much to me that morn- ing?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had he spoken the truth?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had n't he called himself my Prince Cinderella?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had n't he, he said, as my one brother, the right?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had the excitement in the house affected even his steady pulse?
hvd.hn6pvk	Had they met by accident or by design?
hvd.hn6pvk	Have I been dreaming? ” He advanced questioningly toward us.
hvd.hn6pvk	He is not a matinée idol, fascinating to fevered females, is name?
hvd.hn6pvk	Hit's all right, madam? ” he continued solicitously.
hvd.hn6pvk	Hit's hit's something I got to say to you, madam. ”"Well, ” I suggested a little impatiently, “ why not say it?"
hvd.hn6pvk	How did he get the key.... and how could he laugh?
hvd.hn6pvk	How else indeed could I face him?
hvd.hn6pvk	I could, for some trumped up reason, bid the Reverend seek other hospitality, but would that really save Leighton Darrah from exposure at his hands?
hvd.hn6pvk	I doted on The Golden Bowl, but did I care for webs and weav- ings in my own quiet household?
hvd.hn6pvk	I held my head as high as the best of them, and I still loved father, but would that Tin Can forever follow me?
hvd.hn6pvk	I suppose Seraph has taken the blue diamond away with him?"
hvd.hn6pvk	If I might be excused to write sev- eral really important letters for the night mail? ” Cousin Sarah bowed consent, and I bowed, ever so little.
hvd.hn6pvk	If we should ever meet again, would he, when WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 77 he heard the rattle of father's tin cans, turn away?
hvd.hn6pvk	In my pompadour?
hvd.hn6pvk	Indeed, what could be?
hvd.hn6pvk	MS or could I have been mistaken all along in sup- posing that it had ever done so?

hvd.hn6pvk	Martin?
hvd.hn6pvk	May I use it once more, this little gray car that you love, I know, almost as a part of yourself?
hvd.hn6pvk	May not a cook- a perfectly dandy cook, too- have gray eyes without being suspected of trying to spy?
hvd.hn6pvk	Must not Leighton Darrah himself suspect the Reverend's knowledge of his crime against the Rajah, and if so, why did he stay on under the same roof?
hvd.hn6pvk	Need I distrust him in consequence?
hvd.hn6pvk	Of what good then was it that we united in honoring the Con- stitution and the Flag?
hvd.hn6pvk	Oh, why had n't I coldly sent him away on the day of his confes- sion?
hvd.hn6pvk	Quite naturally Leighton Darrah might have encoun- tered her thus, but why need he have stopped to talk to her?
hvd.hn6pvk	Shall I prove it to you? ” And to my amazement and distress he made, with a quick toss of the hand, as if to cast it into the flames before us.
hvd.hn6pvk	Should I ever see him again?
hvd.hn6pvk	Should I who loved him convict him on evidence that would not be held sufficient by a judge or jury?
hvd.hn6pvk	Since he had come to stab Leighton Darrah, why, with his enemy com- 282 PRINCE CINDERELLA pletely at his mercy did he pause, standing there, staring?
hvd.hn6pvk	Some day, if you like, you shall see them. ”"And the library of alienists?"
hvd.hn6pvk	The immediate ques- tion before me therefore was, who had entered her room the night before and stolen the bag?
hvd.hn6pvk	The last strains- had he purposely directed our steps so?-brought us back to the open French doors leading into the now fast darken- ing garden.
hvd.hn6pvk	Those Hindoos are extraordinarily sensitive, They can WILLIAM WANTS TO KNOW 185 love and hate on the turning of a hair, can they not, Mr. Field?"

hvd.hn6pvk	WILLIAM WANTS TO KNOW 193"I think, Miss Meredith, you will recall that Rugby was my school? ” The Reverend laid down his dinner fork.
hvd.hn6pvk	Was Leighton Darrah the cause of the tears Daisy had shed twice that day or was he only her comforter?
hvd.hn6pvk	Was ever a girl so wooed?
hvd.hn6pvk	Was it not just the sort of letter than long- haired mediums foist on hungry credulous hearts, in short, was it not a fraud?
hvd.hn6pvk	Was not Cousin Sarah herself a fraud- no cousin of mine at all?
hvd.hn6pvk	Was not every word be uttered bankable?
hvd.hn6pvk	Was she really in love with young Mayhew already and had anything FORTUNE'S SLEEVE 161 occurred to balk her happiness?
hvd.hn6pvk	What could I say?
hvd.hn6pvk	What could such a stone be to a girl like Daisy, a man like Malory, but a temptation?
hvd.hn6pvk	What fatality was pursuing me?
hvd.hn6pvk	What had I done I asked myself to earn Leighton Darrah's love?
hvd.hn6pvk	What was the mean- ing of this?
hvd.hn6pvk	When tea- time comes tell Mrs. Martin and the others, please, that I shall not be down. ”"Oh, ma'am, and is your head bad?

hvd.hn6pvk	Where had I heard that name in connection with my own?
hvd.hn6pvk	Where had the Reverend obtained the little photograph?
hvd.hn6pvk	Where?
hvd.hn6pvk	Which of all the persons under my roof had the robin's egg?
hvd.hn6pvk	Who was this man,-a belated guest?
hvd.hn6pvk	Who, I wondered, was doing Cousin Sarah's thinking for her these days?
hvd.hn6pvk	Whose were those gray eyes?
hvd.hn6pvk	Why had he lifted his hand against the Rajah's life at all?
hvd.hn6pvk	Why indeed?
hvd.hn6pvk	Why should I falter in the presence of a mere chit, my housemaid?
hvd.hn6pvk	Why was he returning at this early morn- ing hour, his face gray with despair in company with, if not indeed in the custody of, a constable?
hvd.hn6pvk	Why, I asked myself wretchedly, had I almost run to this place to prove beyond the last shadow of doubt that my Prince was unworthy?
hvd.hn6pvk	Would it not even precipitate a crisis which if deferred might by some unforeseen turn of events be avoided altogether?
hvd.hn6pvk	Would one of them be addressed in a strange hand?

hvd.hn6pvk	“ Do n't you see there are ladies present? ” And he shook a warning finger at his wicked old pet.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Funny, is n't it? ” I managed to bring out.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ He was a wonder at it — a taxi- what do you call'em, miss?
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Hey, ma'am? ” he asked finally.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Luxurious?
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Malory, when did Seraph ask to move his sleeping quarters into the house? ” “ This morning, madam.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Miss Meredith, wo n't you play to us again this evening?
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Not even an engagement ring? ” he urged softly, so softly that I pretended not to hear.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Will you please see that the roses on the table have fresh water? ” I well knew that the request was superfluous.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ Yes, Cousin Sarah? ” I paused perforce.
hvd.hn6pvk	“ You do n't object to our keeping company a little now and then, do you, ma'am? ” she added anxiously.
hvd.hn1lil	Are you not making game of me?
hvd.hn1lil	But what is the matter with him? hvd.hn1lil Do you suppose a daughter does not know her father?
hvd.hn1lil	I, ” sobbed she, “ I have brought all this upon you. ” “ You? hvd.hn1lil Indeed, on my word, you do me too much honor; and did you really think that I would listen to such proposals?
hvd.hn1lil	Is it not curious, ” thought he, “ that this unhappy boy should be the victim of the cruel band of mis- creants who are trying to destroy us? hvd.hn1lil Must it be so? ” said she; “ must I condescend te justify myself?

hvd.hn1lil	A THUNDERBOLT 119 “ Well, ” said he anxiously, “ has the scamp sent my money?"
hvd.hn1lil	Ah, why did I pause for an instant?
hvd.hn1lil	Ai n't you 282 THE CHAMPDOCE MYSTERY well that you make such a row?
hvd.hn1lil	Am I correct? ” “ Certainly,"answered André, more bewildered than ever.
hvd.hn1lil	Am I in the habit of confiding in those who do not re- pose confidence in me?
hvd.hn1lil	Am I right or wrong?
hvd.hn1lil	And how would Montlouis behave under the circumstances?
hvd.hn1lil	And was the visit friendly or hostile?
hvd.hn1lil	And what have I done, after all?
hvd.hn1lil	Are you angry with me for my stu- pidity?
hvd.hn1lil	Are you opposing my will?

hvd.hn1lil	But what were those meetings worth to him?
hvd.hn1lil	But where can such a one be found?
hvd.hn1lil	But you must have heard of him?
hvd.hn1lil	Can I oppose my parent's will?
hvd.hn1lil	Can one of us be compromised without endangering his associates?

hvd.hn1lil	Do you know who he was? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1lil	Do you know why Norbert did not come to meet you? ” “ He has doubtless some very good reason."
hvd.hn1lil	Do you not know that I had planned a life of perfect happiness with you by my side?
hvd.hn1lil	Do you not trust me?
hvd.hn1lil	Do you see high up that little shed built of planks?
hvd.hn1lil	Do you suppose that our laws do not provide for such a case as a father exceeding the proper bounds of parental authority?

hvd.hn1lil	Have I ever refused to do what I was ordered?

hvd.hn1lil	Have you never heard that accidents frequently happen to that class of people? ” CHAPTER XXI.
hvd.hn1lil	He abused the lad and told him to be off to the stables, and then asked, “ Well, my girl, and pray what do you want?'
hvd.hn1lil	He must not break his engagement to M. Gandelu; but how could he superintend the workmen and keep an eye on Croi- senois at the same time?
hvd.hn1lil	His timidity and shyness ar- rested all his progress; he required an intimate friend, and where could he hit upon one?
hvd.hn1lil	How could he endure so many discomforts and wounds to his pride?
hvd.hn1lil	How could he have so misunder- stood her?
hvd.hn1lil	How could she best manage to make him forget this unlucky event?
hvd.hn1lil	How did you contrive to re- turn home with your wounded foot?
hvd.hn1lil	How do you know that he may not have half a dozen spies about him?
hvd.hn1lil	How much do you earn every day, Daddy Tantaine?
hvd.hn1lil	How was it that Madame de Mussidan, who was a daily visitor, had not appeared at the house since that eventful night?
hvd.hn1lil	I am a miserable wretch, and why did not Heaven punish me for the sins that I have com- mitted, and not make others expiate my offences?
hvd.hn1lil	I can answer for my- self and Madame de Mussidan, but how about my daughter?"
hvd.hn1lil	I do such a thing? ” answered Verminet.
hvd.hn1lil	I have had half the money down, but I want a smart young fellow to pull it through. ” “ Why could n't I be the smart young fellow? ” asked Toto.
hvd.hn1lil	I'm busy too. ” “ What, with the man you have just left?"
hvd.hn1lil	If you want a proof of this, see, here is the money to take up these bills you told me of. ” “ What, Verminet's? ” “ I suppose so.
hvd.hn1lil	Is it left there as a reproach to me?
hvd.hn1lil	Is it not sufficient to have blighted the young girl's life?
hvd.hn1lil	It is weak folly, I allow; but what am I to do?
hvd.hn1lil	It was evident that something had happened to one of the party; which of them could it be?
hvd.hn1lil	May he not have foreseen the chance of such a case as this arising? ” Mascarin looked grave.
hvd.hn1lil	May it not interfere with my marriage prospects?
hvd.hn1lil	Might he not be absent from home?
hvd.hn1lil	Must he give up his son, who had been restored to him by such a series of almost miraculous chances, or must he see him married to Diana's daughter?
hvd.hn1lil	Now you want to know what has become of Fritz?
hvd.hn1lil	Of course he was acquainted with the names, but ought he to give them?
hvd.hn1lil	Pay this chap?
hvd.hn1lil	Perhaps you love him? ” She turned her lovely face towards her father, with the great tears rolling down her cheeks for her sole reply.
hvd.hn1lil	Perhaps you'd like me to lend'em to yer? ” André smiled pleasantly.
hvd.hn1lil	Shall I look to the Duchess to assist me?
hvd.hn1lil	Shall I not share a portion of the world's censure?
hvd.hn1lil	She had evidently been here- had spent hours here, and whose fault was it?
hvd.hn1lil	Should he tell Lecoq this?
hvd.hn1lil	Something about you can guess what. ” “ About whom or what? ” asked she, making no effort to hide her supreme contempt.
hvd.hn1lil	Suppose a lover was with her now, what right had he to interfere?
hvd.hn1lil	Suppose it was a practical joke on the part of some of the members of the club?
hvd.hn1lil	Tell me if I can be of any use? ”"I come to you to- day to ask a favox at your hands."
hvd.hn1lil	Tell me who you are. ” “ Caroline Schimmel. ” “ Caroline? ” repeated he.
hvd.hn1lil	Tell me, am I right? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	Tell me, has the Duke, your father, ever struck you? ” “ Never once. ” “ Well, that is almost a pity.
hvd.hn1lil	Tell me, have I not ever been a dutiful son to you?
hvd.hn1lil	Tell me, will you help me? ”"In the name of heaven! ” cried he, “ do not speak so loud.
hvd.hn1lil	That was right enough; but what do you say to inducing him to forge a signature? ”"I!
hvd.hn1lil	That's the way I do things, do you see?
hvd.hn1lil	The law gave him leave, but what did his conscience say?
hvd.hn1lil	The young man made no reply, and the Duke con- tinued, “ Why have you not washed the blood away?
hvd.hn1lil	Then, looking at me very suspiciously, he said,'And who sent you here, you little spy?
hvd.hn1lil	Those young men must have some higher class of entertainment, but in what could it consist?
hvd.hn1lil	Was he not at Champdoce? ” “ I can not even tell you that.
hvd.hn1lil	Was it all a dream?
hvd.hn1lil	Was it because I refused to fly with you from my father's house?
hvd.hn1lil	Was it mere chance that had arranged it all?
hvd.hn1lil	Was not the opportunity for revenge here?"
hvd.hn1lil	Were not these words merely the offspring of her de- 272 THE CHAMPDOCE MYSTERY lirium?
hvd.hn1lil	Were these people Croisenois'accomplices?
hvd.hn1lil	What could be the meaning of the Company started by De Croisenois at the very moment when he was about to celebrate his union with Sabine?
hvd.hn1lil	What could be the meaning of this sudden arrangement, and why had the marriage been so suddenly decided on?
hvd.hn1lil	What could they find to do in Paris, to which they all took wing at the first breath of winter?
hvd.hn1lil	What did he mean by addressing you secretly?
hvd.hn1lil	What do I care whether he is engaged or not?
hvd.hn1lil	What do you advise? ” “ Wait and hope,"answered the Counsellor.
hvd.hn1lil	What do you mean? ” cried she.
hvd.hn1lil	What do you think of her?"
hvd.hn1lil	What do you think of that?
hvd.hn1lil	What do you think that you will do? ” “ I- I do n't know, ” stammered Norbert.
hvd.hn1lil	What does a man of honor do when he falls in love? ” “ My dear.
hvd.hn1lil	What had become of it?
hvd.hn1lil	What has that to do with the matter, as long as it adds to the aggrandizement of our house and name?

hvd.hn1lil	What have I to gain by securing any note, and by encourag- ing you to brave your father's anger?
hvd.hn1lil	What have you on under that blouse, a commissionaire's dress?"

hvd.hn1lil	What is up now? ” “ I can assure you —".
hvd.hn1lil	What matters it how a poor man like me is sent out of the world?
hvd.hn1lil	What means could he adopt to free himself from this odious state of servitude?
hvd.hn1lil	What more have I to gain in this world?
hvd.hn1lil	What should he do with the horse he was riding?
hvd.hn1lil	What was I to do?
hvd.hn1lil	What was it that had taken place at Champ- doce?
hvd.hn1lil	What would be Diana's conduct when she found her- self left thus alone, and despised by the society of which she had hoped to be a queen?
hvd.hn1lil	What would be the end of this cruel con- catenation of circumstances?
hvd.hn1lil	When I am of age, I shall have plenty of money, ” broke in Norbert;"and do you think that I will tamely submit to my father's oppres- sion?

hvd.hn1lil	Where have you lived?
hvd.hn1lil	Who can she be?
hvd.hn1lil	Who could have given him his address?
hvd.hn1lil	Who had advised that proceedings should be taken against Rose, alias Zora?

hvd.hn1lil	Why had he done so?
hvd.hn1lil	Why had she not at once confessed that she knew the dog?
hvd.hn1lil	Why had the Count called?
hvd.hn1lil	Why have you not had that cut attended to?"

hvd.hn1lil	Why should he not gain some information from him? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	Why should they waste their pity upon a man who would eventually come into a gigantic fortune, and have the means of gratifying all his desires?
hvd.hn1lil	Why was it that Verminet had suggested Rigal's signature as the one he ought to imitate?
hvd.hn1lil	Why was this extraordinary dif- ference?
hvd.hn1lil	Why were you not here to listen to all that passed between us?
hvd.hn1lil	Why, George de Croisenois. ” “ Pray, what have you to do with Croisenois?
hvd.hn1lil	Why, where was M. de Breulh- Faverlay? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	Will Norbert see Daumon in time?
hvd.hn1lil	Will not the finger of suspicion be pointed at her?
hvd.hn1lil	Will you not be the Duchess of Champdoce? ” Diana only replied with a glance; but if her eyes spoke plainly, that look said “ Yes."
hvd.hn1lil	Would Diana be able to endure the compromising witness of her youth- ful error?
hvd.hn1lil	Would Norbert come to the meet- ing?
hvd.hn1lil	Would he possess the necessary tact and coolness to carry him through so difficult a posi- tion?
hvd.hn1lil	Would she not, in her turn, seek to revenge herself on Norbert?
hvd.hn1lil	Would you like to be a soldier? ” “ No, I do not care for that, and yet —".
hvd.hn1lil	Would you like to see them? ” The Count replied eagerly in the affirmative.
hvd.hn1lil	You accuse me of being mercenary, and for what reason?
hvd.hn1lil	You are completely in his power. ” “ What do I care for my father? ” cried the young man fiercely.
hvd.hn1lil	You do not know the adversary that you have to contend with. ” “ Are you afraid of him?"
hvd.hn1lil	You have n't such a trifle as ten thousand francs about you that you could lend me, have you?
hvd.hn1lil	You have not been open with me, why should I be frank with you?
hvd.hn1lil	You know him, I suppose? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1lil	You know him, doctor? ” “ Yes, I have often seen him.
hvd.hn1lil	You must forget me; do you un- derstand?

hvd.hn1lil	and to what avail had been all her aspira- tions of ambition and grandeur?
hvd.hn1lil	and what did you say in return? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	and why had he handed the bills over to Van Klopen?
hvd.hn1lil	he was so early deprived of a mother's care! ” What did that mean unless it was a reflection upon the arbitrary behavior of his father?
hvd.hn1lil	is that you? ” “ Yes, it is I. ” “ And here?
hvd.hn1lil	is that you? ” “ Yes, it is I. ” “ And here?

hvd.hn1lil	the farmer's wife will say this, will she? ” de- manded Catenac, in a tone of the utmost surprise.
hvd.hn1lil	what is to be done?
hvd.hn1lil	what would this young fellow do?
hvd.hn1lil	would you refuse me? ” asked he, after a moment's pause.
hvd.hn1lil	you know it then? ” “ Of course I do.
hvd.hn1lil	“ A confidential friend?
hvd.hn1lil	“ After all, what does it matter to me? ” remarked Diana, making an effort to recover herself.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Ah! ” moaned she between her sobs, “ so it is Mademoiselle de Puymandour that he wants you to marry?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Am not I a Champdoce too?
hvd.hn1lil	“ And Sabine,"she went on, “ must she, a De Mussi- dan, marry one of these wretched scoundrels?
hvd.hn1lil	“ And did you make no objections?
hvd.hn1lil	“ And have we those? ” “ Of course we have, only there is a perfect romance contained in these letters.
hvd.hn1lil	“ And how about the other matter? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ And how will the game be brought to a conclu-- sion? ”"Easily enough.
hvd.hn1lil	“ And what did Paul say?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ And what did you see? ” “ I saw it all. ” “ All what? ” “ When I got down here, you and the other were digging.
hvd.hn1lil	“ And what did you see? ” “ I saw it all. ” “ All what? ” “ When I got down here, you and the other were digging.

hvd.hn1lil	“ And who can tell me, ” said he, “ that you will keep your engagements, and that these papers will be restored to me at all? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ And whose is that, pray?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ And why do you not wish to appear in the mat- ter? ” asked he at last, in a suspicious tone of voice.
hvd.hn1lil	“ And why, pray?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Are not my orders sufficient to insure obedience?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Are the bills in Van Klopen's hands? ” “ I ca n't say."
hvd.hn1lil	“ Are you going to marry Mademoiselle de Puy- mandour? ” asked she.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Are you mad? ” cried he. “ Toto will accuse you."
hvd.hn1lil	“ Are you not making a mistake? ” The Counsellor gave a quiet smile of triumph.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Are you really intimate with the Marquis de Croisenois? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Before I leave you to- day, ” said she, “ I should so much like to ask a favor of you. ” “ A favor of me, mademoiselle?
hvd.hn1lil	“ But are you sure that I wish to deceive him?
hvd.hn1lil	“ But who told you of this? ” murmured she.
hvd.hn1lil	“ But will a woman like Diana ever forgive an offence like mine?
hvd.hn1lil	“ But, ” added he, as an after- thought, “ how can we be certain that there is no one to recognize Paul?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ But, ” went on the Marquis, “ how can you be certain that all will end here, and that the earth will be content to retain our secret?
hvd.hn1lil	“ By what right do you speak thus, ” said he, “ who have married another man's mistress?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Ca n't you see? ” whispered Gaston.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Can the Countess have returned here after what has occurred? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Can this be done? ” asked he eagerly.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Can you understand now, ” exclaimed Norbert, pointing to his father,"why the remembrance of my love for you has become a hateful reminiscence?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Did you not yourself tell me that, for your own security, you must insist upon another name in addi- tion to mine?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Did you really say that to her? ” asked he, in a low, hoarse voice, utterly unlike his own.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Did you think, my little man, that I was going to offer you twenty thousand shiners?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you foresee some risk, and want me to bear the brunt? ” Mascarin shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you imagine,"answered he disdainfully, “ that I shall be satisfied with an answer of this kind?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you know what it is he loves in me?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you not comprehend me, Diana? ” said he; “ we must fly, and that at once.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you not think that these letters will insure my perfect security? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you refuse me, when I implore you to be my wife, and to share my name with me?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you think it so little? ” asked he angrily.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you think so? ” said she.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you think that I carry them about with me?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you think that the Duke has kept nothing back?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you think,"asked he,"that I am the kind of person to stand and wait while you feel your way?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you want anything more? ” asked the manager of the Mutual Loan Society.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Do you want me? ” asked the Duke.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Does she really love me?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Had he not succeeded in eluding his spies, as he thought that he had done?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Had she not all his letters, and taunted him with the pro duction of them?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Have they forgotten us?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Have you never studied law in the slightest de- gree, Marquis?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Have you no love for me? ” “ Ah, my poor friend, you are no more free than I am."
hvd.hn1lil	“ He has his son's affairs to look after and there is no one else of any consequence. ” “ And how about young Gandelu? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ How are the Duke and M. Norbert, for of course you have seen them both? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ How can I ever be happy again?
hvd.hn1lil	“ How can I help you? ” asked M. Gandelu.
hvd.hn1lil	“ How could I? ” retorted she.
hvd.hn1lil	“ How dare you speak to me thus? ” “ RASH WORD, RASI DEED ” 141 if the whole story comes to light?
hvd.hn1lil	“ How dare you speak to me thus? ” “ RASH WORD, RASI DEED ” 141 if the whole story comes to light?
hvd.hn1lil	“ I have moved from there, but the attic is mine for an- other fortnight yet. ”"I'm gone; where is it?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ I have thought of that before,"returned he; “ but what can be done? ” “ I will find out, ” said Catenac.
hvd.hn1lil	“ I love you dearly, ” said she, “ but especially for one thing. ” “ And what is that, pray?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ I only hope,"said he, “ that Paul is all that you represent him to be; but why all these precautions?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Indeed, and what have we done? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Is it possible? ” thought he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Is not my word of honor enough?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Is one of those for me? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ It is good, is it not?
hvd.hn1lil	“ It is impossible now. ” 182 THE CHAMPDOCE MYSTERY “ Impossible! — and why?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Know me?
hvd.hn1lil	“ My dear father"“ Silence; have you those letters?
hvd.hn1lil	“ My man, ” asked the Duke, “ would you like to earn twenty francs?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ No, sir, I am sorry to say that I could not even get to speak to him. ” “ How was that?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Norbert, my son, ” said he, “ are you suffering?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Not at all. ” “ Where were you dragged up?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Now, you unbeliever, ” cried Mascarin gaily, “ is not fortune within our grasp?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Paul?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Perhaps, ” he went on,"you think that I am child- ish in talking thus?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Pray, do you hesitate?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Pray, does your father know how you employ your time?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Quite right, mademoiselle; but can you say that these proofs are not in my hands?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Should I be here at this hour if what you say is true? ” asked she wildly.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Sit down. ” “ Now, Count, I will go to the point — are you going to put the police on us? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Surely, ” remarked the doctor, “ it is not the idea of a trifling operation that you will not feel which has so frightened you? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ The end has not come yet, surely?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Then I can treat with you? ” asked the Count.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Then you look on me as a mere weak boy?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ This is sufficient, and I need not read the others; but pray, what answer did you give? ” “ That I must refer him to you, my dear father."
hvd.hn1lil	“ Well, then, let me tell you that you will not over- reach and deceive the Duke. ” “ And why not, pray?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Well, what would you say?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Well, ” said Norbert impatiently, “ are you not ready? ”"I will speak, ” exclaimed De Croisenois, driven to desperation.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Well? ” exclaimed M. de Puymandour.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Were you very much alarmed, dearest? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What ails you, André? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What are you doing here? ” asked Norbert.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What are you saying?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What did the Marquis say?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ What did you say?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you intend to do?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you look so astonished at?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you mean by this?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you mean? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you mean? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you propose then? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you want to do here? ” She looked at him anxiously and hardly recog- nized his face, so great was the change that had come over it.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What do you want with me? ” asked she an- grily.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What has been done? ” “ I have got hold of a young fellow who believes that I wish to send him to Egypt, to purchase cot- ton.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What has gone wrong? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What has the boy got into his head now? ” mut- tered he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What have I done to deserve such love?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ What have I done to deserve this want of confidence?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ What have I to say?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is it, then?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is the haste this morning? ” asked the old man who had recognized them.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is the matter, my lad? ” asked André, sur- prised at this sudden change.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is the matter? ” asked she.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is the meaning of all this? ” asked the old 76 THE CHAMPDOCE MYSTERY nobleman in his most severe voice.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is the meaning of this? ” asked the artist.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What is the news to- day? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What of that?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What reason can I give to my father for declin- ing this offer? ” said she.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What shall we do? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What should I gain by it?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What upon earth will my father say?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ What, André?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What, back again? ” asked she petulantly.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What, madame, you here, in Paris?
hvd.hn1lil	“ What, then, is it? ” “ Simply that the real man exists; I know him, and know where he lives. ” “ What do you mean? ” they cried.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What, then, is it? ” “ Simply that the real man exists; I know him, and know where he lives. ” “ What do you mean? ” they cried.
hvd.hn1lil	“ What, ” said he, “ do you absolutely remember those idle words I made use of then?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Where is M. Verminet? ” asked Gaston authori- tatively.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Where is the fellow who brought this letter?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Who are you? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Who dares speak of me like that? ” said he furi- ously.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Who have I the honor of speaking to? ” asked he, instead of making a direct reply.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Who the devil can this be from? ” thought Nor- bert, as he tore open the outer covering.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Who will dare to treat you with anything save with the most profound respect? ” said he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Whom do you wish to see, sir?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why are you here, Master Norbert?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why did you cry out? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why do you think I am not a fool? ”.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why on earth does she not come? ” muttered he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why on earth,"asked he, “ should you daub all this color on your face, which makes you look like an Indian warrior in his war- paint?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why should I not marry him?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why should not my wife be unfaithful to me? ” 174 THE CHAMPDOCE MYSTERY thought Norbert.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why should we not trust him? ” asked Norbert.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Why, then, ” returned Norbert, “ should we alarm ourselves with empty phantoms?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Will you not forgive me?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Will you not trust me?
hvd.hn1lil	“ Yes I am. ” “ And yet you pretended to love me?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ You are quite right; is he at home? ” “ The governor is in the sulks; he has shut himself up, and will not see me. ” “ You are joking."
hvd.hn1lil	“ You say, ” continued he, “ that our chances are equal; but if I fall, who would dream of searching here for my remains?
hvd.hn1lil	“ You sent for me, mademoiselle?
hvd.hn1lil	“ You silly little fool, was that all you said? ” “ Not quite, for I said that I must see Mechenit.
hvd.hn1lil	“ You treated me like a simpleton, then, it appears?"
hvd.hn1lil	“ You will go to the Marquis de Laurebourg? ” asked he.
hvd.hn1lil	“ Your blind subservience to your father is too well known. ” “ You believe that I should confess everything to him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Ah? ” she inquired. hvd.hn1nlp Am I, ” she asked very coolly, “ not yet old enough to have a man of my own? ” Was it possible?
hvd.hn1nlp	Am I, ” she asked very coolly, “ not yet old enough to have a man of my own? ” Was it possible? hvd.hn1nlp And how is Athol? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn1nlp	And what do you want of me?
hvd.hn1nlp	And why?
hvd.hn1nlp	Are n't you going to show it to me?
hvd.hn1nlp	Are you so smart after all? ” he asked. hvd.hn1nlp Bertie Stidger? ” I asked, surprised.
hvd.hn1nlp	Binney, are you going to stay here always? ” “ No! ” cried Gertrude suddenly. hvd.hn1nlp Bought?"
hvd.hn1nlp	But how could any one get in? ” asked Mr. Worthen. hvd.hn1nlp But is it friendly? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	But now,I demanded,"when is this new life to begin?
hvd.hn1nlp	Did n't Mr. Stidger,I asked,"give you a breakfast before sending you off? ” He was startled, but answered quickly:"Oh, I had some breakfast. ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you mean,demanded Mr. Worthen, “ that you never lock the house? ” “ Why should we?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you mean,demanded Mr. Worthen, “ that you never lock the house? ” “ Why should we?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you suppose,I demanded at length in disgust, “ that I can wait here all day for you to finish that wall?"
hvd.hn1nlp	He had a lot of precious stones-“ Was he really a pirate? ” interrupted Ger- trude.
hvd.hn1nlp	I- I prefer cigars. ” “ But you do n't smoke them? ” I asked. hvd.hn1nlp It will do, wo n't it, if I assure you that everything is perfectly safe? ” My ideas were whirling.
hvd.hn1nlp	Margery,I asked one day when I was walking home with her, “ does n't he talk to you about it at all?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Perhaps wiping it?
hvd.hn1nlp	Stidger? hvd.hn1nlp The fact is, they're gone. ” “ Gone?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Well, what brought you back? hvd.hn1nlp You touched her?'
hvd.hn1nlp	'And how will you support her, if you ca n't pay your own way down in Athol?'
hvd.hn1nlp	'He means to marry you?'
hvd.hn1nlp	'What if I did touch the girl?'
hvd.hn1nlp	162 THE HIDING- PLACES What did she feel toward Collester?
hvd.hn1nlp	163 164 THE HIDING- PLACES “ Is n't it solid? ” asked Gertrude.
hvd.hn1nlp	364 THE HIDING- PLACES “ You were coming this way alone? ” he asked.

hvd.hn1nlp	A girl?
hvd.hn1nlp	A woman?
hvd.hn1nlp	After a moment he demanded: “ Where's your father? ” “ He's at the barn, ” I said.
hvd.hn1nlp	After each load mother slipped out to see how THE HIDING- PLACES 289 Could it be Gertrude?
hvd.hn1nlp	Ah, you see a little light?
hvd.hn1nlp	And at my sudden feeling of relief I understood myself, and said: “ Of course! ” “ What are you doing here? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	And do you know what every one is saying?
hvd.hn1nlp	And he told of the big gains in marginal buying. ” “ Did he ask you to try it? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	And how can you face your neighbors? ” He could not face even me.
hvd.hn1nlp	And how should she know this?
hvd.hn1nlp	And if Gertrude kept Margery's secret, why should I complain?
hvd.hn1nlp	And if Margery did choose to come to town on business of her own, might she not consult whom she pleased?
hvd.hn1nlp	And may I sit with you while you eat, Bin- ney?"
hvd.hn1nlp	And met by Collester?
hvd.hn1nlp	And next day, who should come driving into our yard but Joe?
hvd.hn1nlp	And now that thing can make no more trouble. ” “ And you are n't angry?"
hvd.hn1nlp	And one more thing"“ Yes? ” he said willingly.
hvd.hn1nlp	And the bribe?
hvd.hn1nlp	And the great eyes, under their cloud of hair, looked at me in pure fright, 320 THE HIDING- PLACES 323 will he come?"
hvd.hn1nlp	And the riding- suit was just as much?
hvd.hn1nlp	And then where are your chances?
hvd.hn1nlp	And we pretend to be a farmer, and to know noth- ing of compliments?
hvd.hn1nlp	And what now?"
hvd.hn1nlp	And when my stupidity led us to this end, how can I do anything but blame myself? ” She could not answer.
hvd.hn1nlp	And when the idea had taken her and she asked, “ I am your visitor, ai n't I? ” then she sat upright and com- placently smoothed her dress.
hvd.hn1nlp	And why not now?
hvd.hn1nlp	And why should I go to Collester?
hvd.hn1nlp	And would she ever truly appreciate him?
hvd.hn1nlp	And you are, are n't you? ” “ Why, yes, after a fashion, ” I admitted.
hvd.hn1nlp	Are n't we rich? ”"Rich! ” scoffed my mother.
hvd.hn1nlp	Are there fresh scratches on those old shingles now?
hvd.hn1nlp	Are you going to keep on helping at the miserable business of ruining the innocent? ” He grew defiant.
hvd.hn1nlp	As for her, Boston's social citadel was now open- but would she find it dull?
hvd.hn1nlp	As pas- sively be accepted his defeat, what theory, greater than any action of his life, dictated his course?
hvd.hn1nlp	At this point came in the thought: would he deal unfairly by me, at times almost an inmate of his house?
hvd.hn1nlp	Because a seamstress crossed a landing, because a servant stood in a window, was I to be- lieve this thing?
hvd.hn1nlp	Binney, what can you do with a man if you do n't know what he's thinking? ” She was silent for a few moments, then spoke in her father's defense.
hvd.hn1nlp	But Gertrude?
hvd.hn1nlp	But I do n't go there till she first calls on me. ”"Did you tell him that?"
hvd.hn1nlp	But do n't you want to get out in the furrow once more?"
hvd.hn1nlp	But his will told of them. ” “ And then people hunted everywhere? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	But let me ask you first: what right have you to put such a question? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	But what became of my assumption that Collester had dropped out of my life, except in so far as related to Joe?
hvd.hn1nlp	But what did Gertrude think of the situation?
hvd.hn1nlp	But what for? ” I could not bring myself to tell, and my parents refrained from urging me.
hvd.hn1nlp	But what had I come for?
hvd.hn1nlp	But what had that to do with the soul?
hvd.hn1nlp	But what kind, and how many? ” Father, showing in his face compunction for his attempt at evasion, was about to reply, and I was startled.
hvd.hn1nlp	But what were thirty thousand dollars to Mr. Worthen?
hvd.hn1nlp	But why do n't you look at Lon's? ” THE HIDING- PLACES 49 “ that we ca n't find the one we want.
hvd.hn1nlp	Ca n't your cousin sue and get the stones? ”"No,"returned father confidently.
hvd.hn1nlp	Can you look at it now any better than a few minutes ago?
hvd.hn1nlp	Can you plan nothing better with this one than to work yourself to death over it?
hvd.hn1nlp	Can you think of nothing better to do with the other farm?
hvd.hn1nlp	Canby,"I asked in surprise, “ is anything wrong? ” “ Why should you come? ” he demanded in re- turn.
hvd.hn1nlp	Canby,"I asked in surprise, “ is anything wrong? ” “ Why should you come? ” he demanded in re- turn.
hvd.hn1nlp	Collester and Joe and Gertrude, all had failed; and how was Margery to make any impression on me?
hvd.hn1nlp	Collester's?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Come up from Athol, eh?
hvd.hn1nlp	Could I keep her from it?
hvd.hn1nlp	Could Margery be far away?
hvd.hn1nlp	Did I wish to?
hvd.hn1nlp	Did these events all concern me deeper than I supposed?
hvd.hn1nlp	Did we read the papers?
hvd.hn1nlp	Do n't you care to go? ” He answered that he had been out very little.
hvd.hn1nlp	Do n't you never read the papers?
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you even know them? ” “ I do know them,"she asserted.
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you know how much money Worthen handles in the course of a month?
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you know that some people call Mr. Worthen's office a bucket- shop? ”"Jealousy, my dear Joe, ” I said.
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you know what that is? ”"After a fashion,"I answered a little doubtfully.
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you remem- ber, do you recognize this? ” And she held it for me to see.
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you see how it avoids show?
hvd.hn1nlp	Do you want to hear it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Does n't it look well on me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Es plaisir “ Do you suppose,"I asked,"that I could ever think again of a girl who deserted me as Gertrude did?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Even as I prepared to rise and look for it I saw it lying at his feet?
hvd.hn1nlp	Every day's work at ploughing or seeding might be for the bene- fit of some one else and of whom?
hvd.hn1nlp	Exclusive Bos- ton retained its citadel, of which I knew nothing?
hvd.hn1nlp	Father has n't yet let him out of his sight. ”"Does he go out at night? ” I inquired, thinking of our late visitor.
hvd.hn1nlp	Father's broad humor would soon spend itself; mother would even be a little proud of them; but could I outface my friends in the town?
hvd.hn1nlp	Father, taking the pipe from his mouth, remarked: “ He wo n't be overglad to see you. ” “ Why not? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	For first she breathed: “ That kind father! ” And then did not the tears start to her eyes?_"Your poor mother! ” Emotion was dangerous.
hvd.hn1nlp	For what did such folk as we know of diamonds and rubies?
hvd.hn1nlp	For what had been my position all THE HIDING- PLACES 199 this while?
hvd.hn1nlp	For what last pressure of anxiety had brought Margery down to the city?
hvd.hn1nlp	For what?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had Gertrude and I gone too far on ground too weak to hold us?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had I come for Gertrude also?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had I done this?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had I the aspect of a dan- gerous madman that he should sit so, and try to quiet me, and listen for a hand at the door- knob?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had Margery come on matters that affected me?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had his sneering words, and those of Mr. Worthen, reference to my igno- rance of vital matters?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had n't he better wait till I had begun to earn?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had not Mr. Worthen seen the difference?
hvd.hn1nlp	Had this thing happened?
hvd.hn1nlp	Has n't he, mother?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Have n't been neglecting your meals, my boy? ” It was a natural question on his part, whose punctuality at the table was a failing.
hvd.hn1nlp	Have n't you got enough from him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Have you nails in your heels? ” In spite of himself he tucked his feet under him.
hvd.hn1nlp	He left you entirely to me. ” “ Did he? ” A touch of Mr. Canby's grimness returned, but only for a moment.
hvd.hn1nlp	He was still not sure of me- eccentric, or really a rustic?
hvd.hn1nlp	He went on: “ Want a job?"
hvd.hn1nlp	How are you ever to succeed in the city if you set yourself up for a little George Washington? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	How could I be sure that he would respect the old buc- caneer's will?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could I excuse myself?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could I explain?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could I for so long have failed to see it?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could I know unless I could guess what she obtained from her father?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could I see her when there was a John?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could she now respond?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could she propose it?
hvd.hn1nlp	How could she speak plainly on such a subject?
hvd.hn1nlp	How did I fail in manhood, that Collester, a stranger, should be preferred to me?
hvd.hn1nlp	How else can you pay my bill?'
hvd.hn1nlp	How strong was her desire to enter Boston's ex- clusive set?
hvd.hn1nlp	How was I to explain all this to her?
hvd.hn1nlp	I could pay you better than before. ” “ Twice as well? ” asked Joe.
hvd.hn1nlp	I demanded: “ Why do you ask? ” Stidger tossed his head impatiently, yet answered as if father had spoken.
hvd.hn1nlp	I desired the like- but could I wear them?
hvd.hn1nlp	I interrupted- was he still private secretary?
hvd.hn1nlp	I was absorbed, so that she had to repeat, in some surprise, her question: “ May n't I sit with you? ” So I welcomed her.
hvd.hn1nlp	If he did not, how could I resist him?
hvd.hn1nlp	If he had known of Gertrude what we did, would he have taken her?
hvd.hn1nlp	If so, why was I still in the dark, and why was I hurrying away at forty miles an hour?
hvd.hn1nlp	In advance?"
hvd.hn1nlp	In some alarm, I cried: “ Do n't! ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Is it worth our lives?
hvd.hn1nlp	Is n't it a good plan? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	Is n't it lucky I found him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Is that all? ” For Margery was folding up the letter.
hvd.hn1nlp	Is that the one you've lost? ” I laughed.
hvd.hn1nlp	It was in the back of the carriage; he had come from Collester; would we take him in?
hvd.hn1nlp	It was wholesome, it was joyous, and what more could one want?
hvd.hn1nlp	Just a bolt of cloth, lying carelessly on the window- seat: what was it doing in a private house?
hvd.hn1nlp	Keep it carefully. ” “ Has it any value? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn1nlp	Let me ask: while you were planning this trick on me, did you ever think how you were to keep it from Gertrude?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Love?
hvd.hn1nlp	Margery in Boston?
hvd.hn1nlp	Margery's scheme wor- ried me: could she really mean it?
hvd.hn1nlp	Margery, how shall I find work for Joe? ”"I should ask Mr. Collester, ” answered Margery promptly.
hvd.hn1nlp	Marriage?
hvd.hn1nlp	May I have it? ”.

hvd.hn1nlp	Morally, what else could happen?
hvd.hn1nlp	My great- grand- father went back and picked up half a dozen. ” THE HIDING- PLACES “ And they were valuable?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Nor is pleased to have her friends show themselves countrymen?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Now I have him where I do n't want him, ready to do anything for me. ” “ You do n't want him so? ” I asked, surprised.
hvd.hn1nlp	Now do you understand? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	Now, will you do something for me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	OG SN 31 FEB 43 SEP 13 SEP 2?
hvd.hn1nlp	Off your feed?
hvd.hn1nlp	Oh, I know all about the conditions of the will, but were they- are they- legal?
hvd.hn1nlp	Only a distant con- nection by marriage. ” “ Well? ” I asked, as he fumbled for words.
hvd.hn1nlp	Plod- ding along, was he, not far behind?
hvd.hn1nlp	Pretty regular at the house, and for three months I had been in and out and never met him?
hvd.hn1nlp	Pretty regular, ai n't he?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Seeing that I was still in the dark, she added: “ You do n't sup- pose, Binney, that you move in Boston society?"
hvd.hn1nlp	She asked: “ Well? ” She was still looking away.
hvd.hn1nlp	She lives with him? ”"Do n't you know anything?"
hvd.hn1nlp	She lives with him? ”"Do n't you know anything?"
hvd.hn1nlp	She looked at it, rubbed it a little, and then, “ Why not?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Should he go?
hvd.hn1nlp	So she had stolen up and stolen away?
hvd.hn1nlp	So will you shut up Jones? ” She put the dog safely out of the way and re- turned to me.
hvd.hn1nlp	Stid- ger interesting?
hvd.hn1nlp	Stidger I supposed to be an accident of the day; but had Gertrude's rare appearance at the office anything to do with Margery's visit?
hvd.hn1nlp	Still awake? ” I certainly touched him, for he flushed and scowled.
hvd.hn1nlp	THE HIDING- PLACES 227 “ But why now? ” demanded she.
hvd.hn1nlp	THE HIDING- PLACES 29 “ Is n't that like a woman? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	Then Margery?
hvd.hn1nlp	Then at a sudden loud cry- de- manding?
hvd.hn1nlp	Then he asked: “ Well, what of it? ” “ I beg your pardon, Mr. Worthen,"I stammered, taken somewhat aback.
hvd.hn1nlp	There were too many cows: which of them were worth their keep?
hvd.hn1nlp	This a diamond, or a ruby?
hvd.hn1nlp	Toward me?
hvd.hn1nlp	Twice they have slipped off to the game together. ” 108 THE HIDING- PLACES “ She, too? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	Was even Stidger still busy with his schemes against me?
hvd.hn1nlp	Was it this that he had offered to draw on me that afternoon?
hvd.hn1nlp	Was n't Marlowe fine in Shakespeare? ” Now I had n't seen Marlowe in Shakespeare, and felt self- reproach at having wasted my time on the others.
hvd.hn1nlp	Was n't it because you expected this knavery? ” “ Partly, ” she admitted.
hvd.hn1nlp	Were you able to sell them?
hvd.hn1nlp	What am I to do with this money of yours? ” “ Come, ” whispered Gertrude to me.
hvd.hn1nlp	What becomes of this large and profitable branch of the business? ” I had found the way to bring the sweat to his THE HIDING- PLACES 221 forehead.
hvd.hn1nlp	What brings ye?"
hvd.hn1nlp	What could we country folk do?
hvd.hn1nlp	What did he mean by that?"
hvd.hn1nlp	What did she really have in mind? ” Mother and Margery glanced at each other with meaning.
hvd.hn1nlp	What did we know of the affairs of the money market, or even the great defalcations?
hvd.hn1nlp	What did you quarrel with father about? ” 228 THE HIDING- PLACES W"It's just personal,"I evaded.
hvd.hn1nlp	What do you say to a hundred a month? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	What lovely- what scrumptious — what awfully good- looking clothes! ” “ Indeed? ” I asked as if amused.
hvd.hn1nlp	What plan of life did he recall then?
hvd.hn1nlp	What scheme did they have on foot for managing me?
hvd.hn1nlp	What schemes did she suspect Mr. Worthen to be maturing?
hvd.hn1nlp	What sort of office work do you do, anyway?"
hvd.hn1nlp	What train shall you take? ”"If I start now,"I said, “ I'll only get home in time to wake them out of sleep.
hvd.hn1nlp	What value were they to us at all?
hvd.hn1nlp	What was he doing here? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	What was in the box?"
hvd.hn1nlp	What's the total? ”"I sold them,"answered Mr. Worthen.
hvd.hn1nlp	What, were n't the house and barn much better for new paint?
hvd.hn1nlp	When she was safely in the saddle, and I was gathering her reins for her, she said softly:"Binney, you really will show me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	When will your trousseau be bought?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Where had she fled to?
hvd.hn1nlp	Where was the weapon?
hvd.hn1nlp	Wherein did THE HIDING- PLACES 193 I lack?
hvd.hn1nlp	Which, or both?
hvd.hn1nlp	Who would ever have thought of such a hiding- place?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Whose?"
hvd.hn1nlp	Why did n't you lift the stone, and not I? ” The cloud on her face gave way to brightness.
hvd.hn1nlp	Why did you go down to Boston? ” She hesi- tated to answer.
hvd.hn1nlp	Why else should a man of his age( and again I speculated on it) be there at all?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why else was I hanging about her?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why had I not frequently returned, to give this simple pleasure, and to bask in the warmth of this ap- preciation?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why had n't I made myself more of a man, so that at need my poor cousin could come to me?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why have you quarrelled with him? ” She · was peremptory.
hvd.hn1nlp	Why should he have done so much?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why should she come now, or why at all?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why was it for me rather than for Margery?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why was it?
hvd.hn1nlp	Why?
hvd.hn1nlp	Will you come? ” He was all bluffness and kindness, and his praise uplifted me.
hvd.hn1nlp	Will you come? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	Will you take me in? ” Margery visibly hesitating, I thought of the cruelty that Gertrude was committing.
hvd.hn1nlp	With recovered voice he roared at Collester: “ Do you stand by what he says? ” “ Yes,"answered Collester quietly.
hvd.hn1nlp	Wo n't you come and see? ” Mother wagged her head at me in resignation as Mr. Worthen, with Gertrude following, came into the room.
hvd.hn1nlp	Worthen keeps his grudge? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	Worthen, ” I blurted, “ how does my father's account stand with you? ” He looked at me with a keen flash from his little eyes.
hvd.hn1nlp	Worthen. ”"Mr Worthen? ” I cried.
hvd.hn1nlp	Would Gertrude perhaps follow me to the field?
hvd.hn1nlp	Would Gertrude, supposing her to understand, permit it?
hvd.hn1nlp	Would n't you know it sheltered one of the elect? ” “ Go to the head,"I commended.
hvd.hn1nlp	Yet the man had 176 THE HIDING- PLACES"Did you come in her train?"
hvd.hn1nlp	You do n't hold anything on margin for father? ” His reply came deliberately.
hvd.hn1nlp	You found him by the body? ” “ Yes, ” answered Joe.
hvd.hn1nlp	You know this knife?
hvd.hn1nlp	You will invest it, perhaps? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	Your farm mortgaged? ” “ Mortgaged? ” cried father, his pride in arms.

hvd.hn1nlp	powing its"Indeed? ” asked Margery when I had said all Eed federal these things.
hvd.hn1nlp	threatening?-I stopped and listened.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ A clear case? ” I was puzzled.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ All the land is posted. ” “ And if I wanted to wander about? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Almost done? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Amusing, eh? ” She did not an- swer.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And do n't you want to know what was in the box? ”"No,"she said quickly and earnestly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And for- best? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And has she called? ” “ I did not tell him, ” she said with emphatic brevity.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And have you properly considered how I can influence the jury? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And if,"I asked, “ when her schooling is finished, you might some day wish to say a word for yourself —?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And meanwhile he'd scattered it. ” “ Spent it? ” I cried.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And the stones were diamonds? ” asked Ger- trude.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And what did he do? ” “ He excited me,"admitted Canby very frankly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And what did you tell him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And what have you in riding- clothes? ” The clerk stared.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And what shall you do?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And why did you not tell me? ” Startled, I knew that I must not betray myself by hesitation.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And why is n't it safe with me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And you are going to walk all the way back to Athol? ” “ Of course, ” he answered bravely.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And you asked me, do you remember, what I was doing there? ” “ Gertrude,"I pleaded,"I was taken by surprise.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And you'll do it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And- he,"pointing at me,"was holding the knife?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ And- he,"pointing to the couch,"was already dead? ” “ Yes. ” The sneer of triumph grew on Stidger's face.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Apparently not. ” “ Whose train? ” he urged.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Are cigarette- boxes hidden all over the farm?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Are n't you glad to see me? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Are they worth anything, sir?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Back so soon? ” “ Gone and come again, ” was the answer.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney! ” cried Margery, stopping,"is that all?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney, what about supper? ” “ Tell mother not to wait, ” I answered.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney, where are you? ” I rushed out.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney, why do n't you go and take care of him? ” “ I should like to,"I agreed readily.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney, ” she demanded,"why did you ask him if he does n't go to parties? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney, ” she gently reproached me,"already losing heart? ” “ But he was whistling,"I replied.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney,"he gasped,"what is this?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney,"he wheedled, “ let's you and me go up and plough the field ourselves. ” “ Both of us? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney,"she asked, “ how did it happen? ” Her manner was very gentle.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney,"she asked,"are you ill? ” God forgive me!
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Binney-Binney- How could I meet his eye?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Boston? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But Denny, what next?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But Ger- trude, why such emphasis?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But if it's no longer in style? ” “ Oh, I'll have the newest sent on."
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But what can I do?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But what have you to do with it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But whose talk, and what kind?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But why not go to a real broker? ” I demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But you're in a good way of business? ” The inquiry came most naturally, and 148 THE HIDING- PLACES answ was I answered very freely.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ But, my dear Joe,"I protested, “ do n't you see that's just what I'm in Mr. Worthen's office for? ” He went on doggedly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Can I direct you?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Can I do anything for you, Mr. Worthen? ” Not a gleam of intelligence brightened his face.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Can I get you any- thing else, sir?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Can it be- anything?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Changed? ” I inquired, surprised, but greatly interested.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Clever, ai n't you? ” he insisted.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Clever, ai n't you?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Collester? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Did Lon send for ye? ” asked my father.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Did any one send you to me? ” “ No,"I explained.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Did n't expect me to tear my hair, did you? ” “ Why, no, ” she said.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Did you expect to stop him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do n't I?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do n't you know he's a crook?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do n't you really know?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do n't you suppose,"I replied,"that I know where you keep the papers of your personal clients?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do you consider the money yours? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do you know that you are twice as strong as ever? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do you know what that means, you mir- acle of promptitude?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do you study? ” “ Only law,"answered he.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do you suppose he would bite my visitor? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Do you think I'll bother you too much? ” I asked jealously.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Does Mr. Collester find time to teach you? ” “ Oh, no, ” explained Joe, horrified at the thought of such condescension in his employer.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Does he go?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Does he still come to your place? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Funny, is n't it? ” I answered.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Ger- trude, may I-?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Gertrude's got it. ” “ Gertrude? ” I cried, dismayed.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Girls are strange, are n't they? ” We tailed off into small talk, and presently she had me in a good humor.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Go?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Goes to the head, does n't it?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Good food, eh? ” “ I've just moved, ” he explained, “ to a better boarding house."
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Good pay? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Hard labor till I die. ” “ Do you mean,"I asked, but already sick with knowledge of his answer, “ that you've lost every- thing?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Have I seen it before? ” My eyes came back to hers.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Have you dragged her into this dirty business? ” “ She came and made me give it to her,"he ex- plained.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Have you ever made a riding- suit? ” He became racial.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ He dropped in one afternoon and spent the whole evening. ” “ And why did n't I hear of it? ” I asked, sur- prised.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ He goes to bed when we do. ” “ What do he and your father do? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ He is ready when I am?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ He is successful? ”"Enormously,"answered Denny.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Her train?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Here to- day?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ His set? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How did you know I had it? ” “ Your father told me. ” 226 THE HIDING- PLACES “ You asked it of him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How did you know I had it? ” “ Your father told me. ” 226 THE HIDING- PLACES “ You asked it of him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How did you know my first name? ”"I knew you,"he said simply, with a kind of shy contentment.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How do you know? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How have you been all this time? ” “ Entirely well, and prospering, ” he answered, embarrassed and pleased at my notice of him.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How is the busy little valley among the hills?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ How, then, can I ever go back?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ I do n't know. ” “ It's only a copy? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1nlp	“ I might really be involved? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ I work twice as hard. ” “ When will you ride with me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ I'd not feel easy unless it were done by some one whose work I know. ” “ What is the need of such accuracy?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ In these cases findings are havings. ” “ What do you mean by these cases?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Indeed? ” The next question should have been: “ Sugar? ” But she said: “ You are tired of the city? ” Quite con- ventional.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Indeed? ” The next question should have been: “ Sugar? ” But she said: “ You are tired of the city? ” Quite con- ventional.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Indeed? ” The next question should have been: “ Sugar? ” But she said: “ You are tired of the city? ” Quite con- ventional.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Indeed?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Is he angry? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Is it to carry securities here in the city? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Is n't it respectable?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Is that dog dangerous? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Is there any message for Mr. Worthen? ” He became suddenly quiet and studied me closely, as if with a new idea.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Is there half so much fun in the inner circle as outside?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ It was n't till father got home from his work to- day that he looked round the kitchen and asked:'Is n't she here?'
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Killed him? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Law? ” I cried.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Lon's told ye about it? ” “ Precious little, ” grumbled Stidger.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Lost? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Mar- gery, do you mean this? ” Quite composedly she took her place again.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Mar- gery, what is that man Stidger doing here?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Margery was so anxious about it, that l- and why should you want it now? ” “ Merely to get it back again,"I said.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Me?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ No, never! ” “ But why not? ” she asked, smiling patiently.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Not Cloudburst Canyon? ” I demanded, certain rumors, after lying inert in my brain for months, suddenly making an impression.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Of me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Oh, Binney, how could you?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Oh, I go sometimes. ” “ What, comic operas? ” I demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Oh, ca n't he pay his bills? ” “ He lives very small, sir, ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Oh, is it too dark for a walk?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Oh, will he bite me?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Oh, you send for the pattern? ” “ From New York; yes, sir.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Open it here? ” I scoffed.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Ought n't I to go ahead and prepare Mar- gery? ” But again it was too late.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Pleasant times, were n't they, Binney?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Riding- clothes?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Riding- clothes? ” He did not know what I meant.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Saw the will, did he?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Say one more suit, of this? ” It was a wonderful dark blue, and I fell in love with it.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Sent you here?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ So you mean to prove that I did it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ So, ” said he, pausing perforce( for a hand on the arm is a good argument),"you've met your finish?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Strange! ” And then she asked me with a little lifting of the eyebrows: “ You like it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ The box? ” “ Come and see, ” I answered, and began to lead her toward the spring.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ The case looks pretty good for you, does n't it? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ The price?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ The young financier leaving his work?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Then where had he been? ” And he pointed at me.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Then why not now? ” I retorted.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ There's never been any further division of the farms? ” “ Never since they were first set apart by my great- granduncle,"answered my father.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ There, do you see, by the coffee- urn, the pink hat?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ There,"she said suddenly,"the third house ahead of us, with the high brown- stone steps — what do you think of it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ To- morrow morning? ” At once I was eager.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Was Margery in town?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Was n't it a mere nothing to him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ We live very much by ourselves, but at least we have been safe. ” “ And why sha n't we always be safe? ” I de- manded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well, ” demanded Mr. Worthen suddenly, “ what are you going to do with them? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well,"I demanded with hardihood, “ what of it? ”"It's — it's years, ” she gasped, “ since the last was found."
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well? ” I echoed, perplexed.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well? ” asked father tremulously.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well? ” he asked uneasily.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What ails you?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What are dogs in your street like? ” She shuddered.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What are you doing here? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What business is it of yours? ” “ Why,"I answered, grinding carefully,"you've just told me yourself.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What did he mean by that?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What did they do? ”"Father has taken his papers and is looking them over.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What did you tell him? ”"I told him it was n't safe,"I answered.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What do you need a copy for, any- way? ” He paid no attention to me, but looked at father.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What do you want here? ” “ I came to see Margery,"I answered.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What do you want it for? ” The same question, and I gave the same reply: “ Merely to get it back again. ” She sat and puzzled at me.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What has gone wrong?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What have you been doing here these three or four days?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What have you to do with it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What is a pail of milk to us now?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What is it? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What is it? ” she whispered in my ear as I lifted her.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What is there if you stay?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What is wrong with him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What of it? ” I demanded boldly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What place could be better? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What promise?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What sort of thing should you care to do? ” “ Money interests me,"I told her.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What with?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What work has he done? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ What- ever has come over you? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ When did you come?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ When was your tea? ” “ It was n't, ” she answered dryly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where are you going? ” I demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where did you flee the other night?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where did you get your pull with him, Binney, to make him take your suit at such a time? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where does this train go? ” He looked as if lunatic yokels bored him.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where have you been all winter? ” I asked him.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where is the harm?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where is there a better man for me to take? ” And as if open to conviction, she sat and waited for my answer.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where is your bag?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Where? ” The question relieved him.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who cares for milk? ” I demanded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who else? ” “ Stidger himself. ” “ Will lie,"commented Collester.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who has seen your copy? ” asked Collester.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who knows?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who's come to town? ” And in his manner appeared his readily aroused exasperation.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Who?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why are n't these stones Lon Hartwell's?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why did n't you come and see mother? ” “ I wanted one of you to come to see me first."
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why did n't you smoke? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why did you consult Mr. Collester?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why do you look at me so? ” THE HIDING- PLACES 371 Lates les Bima 2st To knowledged in him a certain unsuspected great- ness.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why does that man Stidger want it?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why not ask your father? ” I inquired shortly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why should n't I? ” I returned.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why, Binney, ” asked Margery with innocent kindness, “ what is it? ” Choking with dismay, disgust, revolt, I turned from her.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Why, that box is mine! ” “ Yours? ” Startled, he held it closer to him.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Will you pay in advance? ” inquired Joe, still entirely mild.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Wo n't she look away? ” whispered Gertrude.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Yes,"I answered “ Dorset's, on Park Street? ” “ Yes, ” I said again, surprised.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You are n't dis- in live de appointed in me? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You be- lieve in him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You do n't begin with father till to- mor------ row?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You do n't suppose a girl wants to be made conspicuous, do you?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You go back to- day? ” “ Oh, I must,"I assured him.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You have found new employment? ” She might have asked me: “ Cream or lemon?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You have found new employment? ” She might have asked me: “ Cream or lemon?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You know shorthand? ” I asked, in wonder.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You know that fellow Stidger?
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You know the Petersham stage? ” He nodded.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You mean the cu- rious old will? ” “ Yes,"I answered, still standing.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You never shall have anything more to do with him. ”"How shall I live, then?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You pay cash? ”.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You see what sort of people we have become. ” “ Ca n't you get rid of Stidger? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You see you ai n't very welcome here. ” “ Whose fault is it? ” I demanded, whirling about.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You would n't have me bellow the news out here? ” laughed Mr. Worthen.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You've emptied it! ” “ Where are the stones, Hartwell? ” asked her father briskly.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You've given them to him, have ye? ” snapped Stidger.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You've heard some of the talk against him?"
hvd.hn1nlp	“ You? ” I demanded, com- pletely surprised.
hvd.hn1nlp	“ Your berth, sah? ” The idea of bed was repugnant to me.
hvd.hn8x6n	Did you know the Brownings got back last night? ” one boy called. hvd.hn8x6n Getting any nuts? ” “ Some,"said Arthur.
hvd.hn8x6n	How were you hurt, Hope? ” he asked. hvd.hn8x6n I asked you if any one ever had given the Brownings anything larger than a monkey? ” “ What do you mean by larger?
hvd.hn8x6n	I asked you if any one ever had given the Brownings anything larger than a monkey? ” “ What do you mean by larger? hvd.hn8x6n I've half promised to, ” said Arthur;"ca n't you do it?
hvd.hn8x6n	If we do n't want things exaggerated, Richard, ” she said, “ do you think we ought to exaggerate them ourselves?
hvd.hn8x6n	It is a bad place for her,I said, “ but if you're going to stay I wonder if you'd do something for me?"
hvd.hn8x6n	Well, ” said Simon, “ after all you’ye said, Ar- thur, what was it all about? hvd.hn8x6n What did you think, Arthur,"he asked,"made Hope have the bad time she had in that restau- rant?"
hvd.hn8x6n	You do remember the old garden at the Brown- ings', Arthur, when you were a little boy? ” Sarah asked, sucking at her pipe. hvd.hn8x6n You heard that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	108 ONE OF THREE “ That's rather obvious, is n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hn8x6n	114 ONE OF THREE “ Why should n't Philip ask about a monkey if he wants to?"
hvd.hn8x6n	118 ONE OF THREE “ Did you hear anything but that cry? ” he asked timidly.
hvd.hn8x6n	148 ONE OF THREE “ What did keep you up at the house? ” Sarah asked as she rolled her crust.
hvd.hn8x6n	80 ONE OF THREE “ Did you hear a little noise, Hope? ” Richard.
hvd.hn8x6n	A cow or some- thing of that kind? ” “ No.
hvd.hn8x6n	A man's voice?"
hvd.hn8x6n	A small circus company ONE OF THREE 113 as"Did you read it in the Bible? ” Sarah asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	Alone he might have escaped notice, but how could he with this outrageous beast doing extraor- dinary damage everywhere they went?
hvd.hn8x6n	Can you do that, Mrs. Simons? ” “ Yes, ” said the woman eagerly.
hvd.hn8x6n	Could you identify the one?
hvd.hn8x6n	Did I think I'd care to go with him?
hvd.hn8x6n	Diocletian loved his cabbages, and where is Dio- cletian?
hvd.hn8x6n	Do you know him? ” “ He is Mrs. Browning's brother, Gerald, ” said Arthur.
hvd.hn8x6n	Do you think you could recognize him?
hvd.hn8x6n	Frank, can you stay all night? ” “ Certainly, if I am needed. ” “ You and George can go to Richard and the two farmers can be relieved.
hvd.hn8x6n	Gerald?
hvd.hn8x6n	Has any one of you been here less than fifteen minutes?"
hvd.hn8x6n	Have n't the men brought Gerald back?
hvd.hn8x6n	Here's wild grape and crabapple and currant- what did you ask me, Philip?
hvd.hn8x6n	How could I have failed to recognize the man at first if I could recognize him at all at any time?
hvd.hn8x6n	How do I know?
hvd.hn8x6n	I fell in trying to reach them. ” “ Where was Richard? ” Arthur asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	I looked up and there was something at the window. ” “ What? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	I saw him. ” “ Are you sure? ” Arthur asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	I suppose you are right, but ca n't we keep Myra?
hvd.hn8x6n	I'll be down again in a minute. ”"While you were out did you hear a strange noise? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	I've heard that you had your dinner and that two Japs came in- New York must be a queer place — but what's it all about?
hvd.hn8x6n	I've seen them. ” “ But you love Simon, do n't you? ” I persisted.
hvd.hn8x6n	Is anything the matter? ” His manner was not agitated, but his expression revealed an alarm which his restraint tried to con- ceal.
hvd.hn8x6n	It was n't Squirrel Inn?
hvd.hn8x6n	It's something the children find printed on the pep- permint hearts, is n't it?
hvd.hn8x6n	It's the first time in twenty years that it's been done. ” “ What do you think Sarah knows about the Brownings? ” I asked Simon.
hvd.hn8x6n	Jasper Lord ever send them an ape- a big monkey? ”"Yes, I think he did once,"said Simon.
hvd.hn8x6n	More than that, why did he call it anything?
hvd.hn8x6n	ONE OF THREE 31 “ What have you got down? ” Sarah asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	ONE OF THREE 43 “ Are you sure the door is locked?'
hvd.hn8x6n	Or was it?
hvd.hn8x6n	Presently Sarah ceased to call and Simonjasked again: “ Did you have a good time over to the House to- night?"
hvd.hn8x6n	She probably had, se- cretly, reimbursed any one dependent upon him; but could n't you see the terror of the things for ONE OF THREE 97 her?
hvd.hn8x6n	So all's attended to. ” “ But, dearest, ” she said, “ ca n't we keep Myra?
hvd.hn8x6n	So she wanted some one to do after she was dead what she was doing while she was alive. ” “ Did Hope know this? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	That attack upon Hope on Christmas eve- hadn't he protected himself, re- ONE OF THREE 275 covering in an instant, by being the solicitous hus- band?
hvd.hn8x6n	That's why I asked about the ape. ”"It does n't seem absurd to you that Hope would not tell of such an outrageous thing?
hvd.hn8x6n	The first thing he knows we wo n't have any for his cherry bitters. ” “ Are Simon's bitters really- bitter? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	This idea was almost terrifying. ”"Anything you are going to tell? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	Was old Sarah Parr, with her feline wisdom, unfathom- able wisdom, anything more than the dowager?
hvd.hn8x6n	We shall come back and where shall we get such à cook?
hvd.hn8x6n	What are we doing here? ” “ Has nothing happened? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	What are we doing here? ” “ Has nothing happened? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	What did she say?"
hvd.hn8x6n	What did you call him?
hvd.hn8x6n	What greater injustice can the processes do than to produce people to whom the processes are con- tinual agony?
hvd.hn8x6n	What has happened?"
hvd.hn8x6n	What possessed them to come back here and open up the house without any help? ” “ Where do you suppose Richard is? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	What possessed them to come back here and open up the house without any help? ” “ Where do you suppose Richard is? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	What would a woman married since she was 18 have to do with such nonsense?
hvd.hn8x6n	What's the third? ” “ I would n't dare say, ” said Arthur.
hvd.hn8x6n	What, after all, had happened?
hvd.hn8x6n	Where is Hope? ” “ Ruth is with her,"said George.
hvd.hn8x6n	Why are we on our way in this fashion- or any other fashion? ” “ I promised Sarah and Simon I'd come back,"said Arthur.
hvd.hn8x6n	You're sure of it?
hvd.hn8x6n	thing we could do for Mr. and Mrs. Renwick and Mr. Dorsey or”—he hesitated just a little-"for Mr. and Mrs. Browning?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ But how could you recognize him?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ But she fancied Richard more?''
hvd.hn8x6n	“ But what can you do? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ But why me? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ But you did hear something? ” “ Not in the sense of its being'something,'” said Arthur.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Could I ask all of you not to leave the house until you have heard from me again?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Could n't you see it? ” Arthur asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Did Arthur ever ask Hope to marry him,"I asked, “ before she married Richard?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Did Simon get his summer sausage, Philip?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Did n't I hear a scream? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Did n't she care for him? ” ONE OF THREE 155 “ I guess she fancied him a little."
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Did you hear that?'
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Did you?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Do you believe it? ” “ No, I do n't, ” said Arthur honestly.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Have you a pencil and paper, Simon? ” Sarah called from the pantry.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ How can you?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ I'd like to see anybody who wants their teeth thrown in the dish water and then out in the yard. ” “ Who threw them out in the yard?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ I'll admit he is n't the brightest thing in the world, but he's honest, and he's been honest scared. ” “ What scared him? ” Hope asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ If she is able to come in, ask her to, will you? ” George went for the two girls.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Is there anything the matter? ” the woman asked, seeing for the first time that plain legend of retribution in Robison's face.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Is this an old paper?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ May I look at your neck? ” Arthur asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Sarah? ” I asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Simon,"she said,"do n't you know it's all hours 32 ONE OF THREE of night?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Something like a scream?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ The boy said he saw them going that way? ” He pointed in the direction the searchers had been following.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ They went to Italy, did n't they? ” said Arthur.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What are we going to do? ” Arthur asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What are you hunting them for? ” she asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What did you hear? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What did you say, Arthur? ” she asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What do you know about it?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What do you think of it, Sarah? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What else can it be? ” the man asked with al- most angry energy.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What happened then? ” Robison asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What has Sarah to tell? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What kind of a time did you have over to the House to- night?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What put that heathen monkey idea in your head? ” she asked me, finally.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What was it?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What was that? ” George Renwick asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What's happened? ” Robison asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What's the matter now? ” she asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What's the matter with him?"
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ What's the matter? ” “ We found her over in that clump of hazel, ” I said.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Where is Hope?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Where is Hope? ” Richard came in at that moment.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Where's the minister?
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Who is it, Milly? ” she asked.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Why do n't you say it? ” I asked, finally.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Why does Hope keep Quatuck open? ” I asked Sarah.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ Why, Sarah? ” “ She wants to make a spill. ”"I'll take a back page, ” said Sarah.
hvd.hn8x6n	“ You asked her what hurt her? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn8x6n	“ You do n't mind spending the night here, do you?"
hvd.hn3gf6	Shall I give the alarm?'
hvd.hn3gf6	But this Johnson; have n't you tried to get him to confess? ” “ Tried!
hvd.hn3gf6	But what is the charge against him — that is what legal charge can you make? ”I dunno,"was the cheerful response.
hvd.hn3gf6	Have I? ” in a voice of pretending incredulity. hvd.hn3gf6 No,"she cried with sudden energy, “ I have not got it. ” “ Do you know where it is?".
hvd.hn3gf6	120 The Mystery of the Red Flame How would it all end?
hvd.hn3gf6	22 The Mystery of the Red Flame “ What am I to do? ” By way of answer he took my suitcase and marching ahead, exclaimed: “ Follow me, sir! ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	254 The Mystery of the Red Flame “ Yes? ” I said breathlessly.
hvd.hn3gf6	After that he may be able to pronounce words of one sylla- ble. ” “ Like a child learning to speak? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	After that we'll attend to the Brazil- ian. ” “ Was the telegram of any service to you? ” asked Aunt Sarah, timidly.
hvd.hn3gf6	Am I correctly informed? ” “ Yes, sir,"I said.
hvd.hn3gf6	Am I right, sir, when I use the word appellation?
hvd.hn3gf6	Am I stating the case correctly, sir? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	And do you speak of white diamonds alone? ” “ Why,"came the voice of Aunt Sarah, “ I never knew that there was any color but white.
hvd.hn3gf6	And how about myself?
hvd.hn3gf6	And if I had tried to take the diamond and failed would not the Government have been in a worse position than it was at present?
hvd.hn3gf6	And the hypocrisy of it makes your act all the more loathsome. ” “ But you wo n't let me say a word in my own defense- —"“ What?"
hvd.hn3gf6	And when it was cut into two perfect diamonds had not one of the specimens been placed in the museum to be the heritage of the people forever?
hvd.hn3gf6	And where did he get it?
hvd.hn3gf6	Be- sides, even if I did, when could we ever complete such a task? ” While he talked I had the key in my hand and was examining it — and thinking.
hvd.hn3gf6	But can you call a diamond an antique?
hvd.hn3gf6	But even if she knew would she be willing to give me the information?
hvd.hn3gf6	But how did I feel in my heart?
hvd.hn3gf6	But its disappearance?"
hvd.hn3gf6	But my duty?
hvd.hn3gf6	But were they in command of the situation?
hvd.hn3gf6	But what right did I have to do that?
hvd.hn3gf6	But when she found out who it was she said: “ Amy, did you see a man in the garden?'
hvd.hn3gf6	But would that fact cause her to change her feelings toward me?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could I do it?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could I have escaped from the house alive?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could any one of them have carried it out?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could any one of them have even thought of such a thing?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could he have heard me come in?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could it be Jules Jacquette?
hvd.hn3gf6	Could nance Behind Great Hercules 9] it be possible that there was some one else in the house of whose presence I was unaware?
hvd.hn3gf6	Did she care for me in spite of all that happened?
hvd.hn3gf6	Did she know the combination, or was she working at random?
hvd.hn3gf6	Did you ever counsel patience to an angry man?
hvd.hn3gf6	Did you ever preach of the virtue of industry to an indolent man?
hvd.hn3gf6	Did you ever see a miser gloating over his gold?
hvd.hn3gf6	Did you ever try to make a dipsomaniac The Man Behind the Hedge 58 understand the evils of drink?
hvd.hn3gf6	Do you begin to see?"
hvd.hn3gf6	Do you get me? ” “ Perfectly,"I replied."
hvd.hn3gf6	Do you get the drift of my remarks? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	Do you mean the most valuable one, counted in dollars and cents?
hvd.hn3gf6	Do you mean the rarest one?
hvd.hn3gf6	Else why the sneaking about the premises?
hvd.hn3gf6	Garland, you'll come back, wo n't you? ” “ I do n't know,"I answered, “ that depends upon circumstances. ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	Glazier,"I began in a lawyer- like fashion, “ when were you at Hedgewater House last?"
hvd.hn3gf6	Had I betrayed myself by that stamp of the foot on the floor?
hvd.hn3gf6	Had it not been dug out of the mines of Brazil?
hvd.hn3gf6	Has she consented? ” “ Not yet.
hvd.hn3gf6	Have n't you heard of Hedgewater House? ” He glared about him like an animal at bay.
hvd.hn3gf6	He just bolted his grub and then he jumped into the car and hurried off again. ” “ What direction did he take? ” “ That way,"pointed the man.
hvd.hn3gf6	He will never rest until his wings are burned. ” “ You seem confident? ” “ Perfectly,"he replied.
hvd.hn3gf6	How A Surprise from Brazil 139 would he take it?
hvd.hn3gf6	How could you attempt to win my confidence by a pre- I am Denounced as a Spy 163 tended affection?
hvd.hn3gf6	How could you be so despic- able as to enter this house under cover?
hvd.hn3gf6	How did I look in my own eyes?
hvd.hn3gf6	How did he get it?
hvd.hn3gf6	How do I know?
hvd.hn3gf6	How do you know that Wharton may not recover and spoil the whole business? ” “ There is not the slightest danger.
hvd.hn3gf6	How do you know the diamond which is supposed to be in the United States does not belong to the private collection in Brazil?"
hvd.hn3gf6	How do you know which is which?
hvd.hn3gf6	How is it that I did n't think of that?
hvd.hn3gf6	How old is the Star of the South? ” I grinned at the question.
hvd.hn3gf6	How was I to face the ordeal of the morrow?
hvd.hn3gf6	How was it to be done?
hvd.hn3gf6	How would I appear in the eyes of Dora Wharton?
hvd.hn3gf6	How would I look in the eyes of Colonel Whar- ton and Dora and Aunt Sarah?
hvd.hn3gf6	I can only 2 The Mystery of the Red Flame ask, What would you have done if you had been in my place?
hvd.hn3gf6	I felt he must be in the house, else why that unlocked door?
hvd.hn3gf6	I spoke, innocently enough: “ Who is the man?"
hvd.hn3gf6	I was sure that he would not halt at any crime to ad- vance his own interests, but how would it help him to have the diamond removed from the safe?
hvd.hn3gf6	I would willingly have faced death in the perform- ance of my duty, but how could I stand the wither- ing glance of her honest eyes?
hvd.hn3gf6	I'm going to make the round of these shops this afternoon and I want you to go with me. ”: “ What do you expect to find? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	I've never heard of pulling off anything like that before. ” “ But can you help us? ” “ You bet we can.
hvd.hn3gf6	I- I wonder if it can be true? ” 144 The Mystery of the Red Flame “ It has all the earmarks of truth, ” I commented drily.
hvd.hn3gf6	If that is true how could an ordinary plebeian trunk get into their company without being noticed? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	Imagine the effect of all that upon a man of Colonel Wharton's sensibilities — ” “ What of that?"
hvd.hn3gf6	In fact, you've been engaged in that name. ” “ Wo n't that be a little risky? ” I asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	Is it not so, my young friend?
hvd.hn3gf6	Is n't that the truth? ” The blue eyes of the veteran investigator danced merrily.
hvd.hn3gf6	Is there anything in particular he wants? ” “ Yes,"proceeded Barnes, with great delibera- tion,"he wants the Red Diamond! ” Glazier gasped.
hvd.hn3gf6	It brought forth a query sharp and insistent: Why was I at Hedgewater House?
hvd.hn3gf6	It was a Amy Smith's Story 235 terrible thing to say, even to yourself, was n't it?"
hvd.hn3gf6	Might it not have a deeper significance?
hvd.hn3gf6	Mrs. Crilly must have noticed the change in my face, for she said softly: The Man Behind the Hedge 57 set “ You seem disappointed? ” Disappointed!
hvd.hn3gf6	Need I say why?
hvd.hn3gf6	One by one they were all set aside until they were all accounted for — ” “ All?"
hvd.hn3gf6	Or was it the natural reaction that was to be expected after such a strain upon her nerves?
hvd.hn3gf6	Query: where is the room? ” “ Have you looked anywhere? ” “ We've examined all of the rooms in his shop without result.
hvd.hn3gf6	Query: where is the room? ” “ Have you looked anywhere? ” “ We've examined all of the rooms in his shop without result.
hvd.hn3gf6	Sup- pose he should order me to confiscate it in the name of the United States Government?
hvd.hn3gf6	Suppose I had taken it from Colonel Wharton when he first drew it from the safe?
hvd.hn3gf6	Surely any gentleman under the circumstances- ” “ You here? ” he interrupted, scowling at me fiercely.
hvd.hn3gf6	The Moth and the Flame 193 “ May I ask what you have been doing at this end of the line? ” “ That is not only your right but your duty.
hvd.hn3gf6	Unreasonable in me, do you say?
hvd.hn3gf6	Was any one of them as nerve- racking as the job I had on hand?
hvd.hn3gf6	Was it a figment of my imagina- tion?
hvd.hn3gf6	Was it grief?
hvd.hn3gf6	Was it joy?
hvd.hn3gf6	Was it not more likely, if he wanted the dia- mond, that he would await some more favorable opportunity for getting it?
hvd.hn3gf6	Was it not possible that she might have overlooked some little trinket and gone down to the safe to get it before retiring?
hvd.hn3gf6	Well, that satisfies me all right- all right. ” “ What about Glazier? ” I asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	Were his struggles against the embodiments of evil to be compared with my fight to reconcile love and duty?
hvd.hn3gf6	What can I add to that?
hvd.hn3gf6	What could I do?
hvd.hn3gf6	What could be the meaning of his continued presence about the house?
hvd.hn3gf6	What could it be?
hvd.hn3gf6	What did I do about it?
hvd.hn3gf6	What did I look like in the eyes of my friends?
hvd.hn3gf6	What did he want, anyhow?
hvd.hn3gf6	What did he want?
hvd.hn3gf6	What do you mean by the greatest diamond in the world?
hvd.hn3gf6	What else mattered?
hvd.hn3gf6	What ex- planation would she make?
hvd.hn3gf6	What explanation could she make?
hvd.hn3gf6	What had Dora done with the Red Diamond and where was it at this moment?
hvd.hn3gf6	What had hap- pened to change this state of affairs?
hvd.hn3gf6	What more likely than that he should resort to some ruse to prevent it from being kept in the burglar- proof place?
hvd.hn3gf6	What of that?
hvd.hn3gf6	What right did I have- under the circumstances — to make love to the The Pool of Flame 63 girl?
hvd.hn3gf6	What right did he have to monopo- 56 The Mystery of the Red Flame lize her society?
hvd.hn3gf6	What should I do?
hvd.hn3gf6	What sort of a house could this be?
hvd.hn3gf6	What then?
hvd.hn3gf6	What was in that letter to cause her so much grief?
hvd.hn3gf6	What was she thinking?
hvd.hn3gf6	What was the use of it all if I did not benefit on a big scale?
hvd.hn3gf6	What would I have done if I had been the girl and had received such a warning?
hvd.hn3gf6	What would any man done in my place?
hvd.hn3gf6	What would have happened?
hvd.hn3gf6	What would she say?
hvd.hn3gf6	Where had it come from at that unusual hour?
hvd.hn3gf6	Where was he or she to come from?
hvd.hn3gf6	Who can tell how much I suffered as I stood there watching her distress?
hvd.hn3gf6	Who can tell? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	Who could it be?
hvd.hn3gf6	Who will be the next? ” I did not answer.
hvd.hn3gf6	Why had I not watched her while I was at Hedgewater House?
hvd.hn3gf6	Why has n't some one sent for the police? ” “ No, no! ” cried Colonel Wharton excitedly.
hvd.hn3gf6	Why not finish our cigars in the garden? ” But Wharton angrily pushed the South Ameri- can from him.
hvd.hn3gf6	Why should I not clear it up?
hvd.hn3gf6	Why should she creep downstairs in her bare feet like a thief in the night?
hvd.hn3gf6	Why was the news so late?
hvd.hn3gf6	Why?
hvd.hn3gf6	Will you do that? ” “ Yes, sir, and anything else you want me to do."
hvd.hn3gf6	Worse still, suppose he should instruct me to take Colonel Whar- ton into custody on the charge of smuggling?
hvd.hn3gf6	Would she I Quit the House of Mystery 185 speak to me?
hvd.hn3gf6	Would she see me?
hvd.hn3gf6	Would we ever meet again?
hvd.hn3gf6	Would you like it now? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	Yet how could I go on weaving the net of guilt about her uncle and at the same time expect to win and retain her affection?
hvd.hn3gf6	Yet if that was the case why did she permit her uncle to suffer as he was un- doubtedly suffering?
hvd.hn3gf6	You do n't suppose they could keep a secret like that, do you?
hvd.hn3gf6	You noticed him shiver, did n't you?
hvd.hn3gf6	You say you want to question me? ” “ Yes, may I? ” She looked positively scared now and glanced around as if to find a means of escape.

hvd.hn3gf6	· If these things did not signify love what did they mean?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ And Jacquette — where is he? ” The veteran made a wry face.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ And now, will Monsieur Garland explain the purpose of his visit?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ And the diamond — did you find the dia- mond? ” “ We did not, ” replied Barnes and the Collector in chorus.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ But the two letters,"I interrupted impatiently, “ are they written by the same person? ” He bowed assent.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ But why the circus stunt?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ But would the Red Diamond be bulky? ” I ventured to inquire.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Ca n't he speak? ” 148 The Mystery of the Red Flame “ You saw for yourself, ” he said curtly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Colonel, ” I said, with some anxiety, “ are all of your gems in that room?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Did you follow him?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Did you know the combination of the safe? ” “ No! ” I exclaimed sharply.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Did you look into handbags and things of that kind?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Did you see a blue touring car pass here lately?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Disposed? ” grinned Barnes.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you have the right to arrest him?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you suppose that it was placed with the Ambassador's baggage when he sailed? ” “ Not at all; that would have given the scheme away.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you think it is — serious? ” I shook my head.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you think they will shine until morning? ” he asked, presently.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you think we'll get him?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you want me now? ”"No."
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Do you want to keep up the farce after the mask has been torn from your face? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Dora! ” I exclaimed involuntarily, “ what is the matter? ” She brushed the tears away hastily and smiled wanly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Has Dora asked you to say this? ”"No,"admitted Aunt Sarah, “ she has no in- timation of what I was going to say to you."
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Have you any idea what became of the five thousand dollars?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Have you got the Red Diamond? ” A flash of terror crossed her face and showed itself in her troubled eyes.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Have you really recovered? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ He was original, then? ” I queried.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ He's arrested, is n't he?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Hello,"he cried,"in trouble? ” The old man smiled grimly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How about Miss Wharton? ” asked the old fox, slyly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How about the Red Diamond? ” I asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How about the crew? ” “ They were compelled to undergo a most rigid scrutiny.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How can I tell?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How could you feel any other way on such a delightful day? ” he retorted.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How dare you use the word?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How do you know? ” I asked sharply.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How in the world did you know? ” He smiled grimly at that.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How is Colonel Wharton? ” I asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How long has it been since it was discovered and cut into its present form?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How long was he here?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ How? ” “ A slate and pencil, ” was my response; “ that's all we need. ”"By Jove,"he retorted, “ but you're right!
hvd.hn3gf6	“ I suppose you are curious to know the cause of my foolish outburst? ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ I was surprised — that's all. ” There was a silence — an awkward silence of some moments, and then I added: “ And Miss Dora?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Is there anything I can do for him?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Is — is it fatal? ” whispered Collector Fread, in an awed tone.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Might I ask your name? ” he said bluntly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Might — might I inquire if particular precau- tions were taken to locate this valuable stone?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Miss Wharton, ” I said in a voice that faltered in spite of my resolution, “ will you favor me with a word before I leave Hedgewater House?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Mr.- Mr. Jayne seems to be very attentive to Miss Dora? ” “ Yes,"she replied, with her shrewd smile,"he does."
hvd.hn3gf6	“ My boy,"he cried cheerily, “ how are you feel- ing this bright sunshiny morning? ” I was shameless enough to say that I was well and happy.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ My dear friend, will you kindly tell me just what they did? ” He smiled in his benevolent, fatherly way.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Now what about it?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Once more — have you anything to say?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Perhaps you would like to view the grounds in the meantime?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ So you think you will be pleased with your employment, do you?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ So you've fooled him, too?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ So, liking me, you torture me?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Spying does not come very hard to you, does it?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ That's the ques- tion. ” “ What's your guess?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ They are written by the same person. ” “ How do you know? ” “ There are three things which lead me to this conclusion, ” he said.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Uncle, ” she cried imploringly, “ do n't you know me?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Was the diamond in one of the Ambassador's trunks? ” “ It was not."
hvd.hn3gf6	“ We've got one of the conspirators behind lock and key. ” “ Who — who is it? ” I stammered.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Well, son, ” he said finally, “ none of us like to be fooled, do we? ” I admitted the impeachment.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Well? ” “ It was a question concerning which was the greatest diamond in the world.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What about yourself? ” he asked, with a shrewd look in his bright eyes.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What caused the trouble with Colonel Whar- ton? ” he asked, addressing Jacquette.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What could a poor girl do? ” she continued.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What did you leave there?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What do you want? ” “ I've told you- we want the Red Diamond. ”.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What have you discovered? ” I asked, impa- tiently.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What is it, dear? ” asked the old lady anx- iously.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What news? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What the devil did you bring me out to this hole of a place for — to see you smoke your vile cigars?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What the devil's the matter with you people? ” he cried with some heat.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What were you going to say?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ What? ” I asked blankly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ When, for instance?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Where's Hapgood? ” I asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Where's Wharton? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Where's the girl? ” The Buried Treasure 277 placid face of Bromley Barnes.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Who are you, anyhow?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Why do you tell me all of this? ” I asked with rising irritation.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Why not?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Why not? ” I gasped.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Why — why, ” he stammered, “ Colonel Whar- ton told us, did n't he?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Why? ” “ That's my business, ” was the quick retort.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Why?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ With what result? ” “ My first business was to find the driver of the wagon who delivered the trunks.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Wo n't he ever be able to speak? ” He shrugged his broad shoulders.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Wo n't you please say yes'?"
hvd.hn3gf6	“ Yes?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ You ai n't ablamin'me for what's happened, are you?
hvd.hn3gf6	“ You all act as if you had lost your senses. ” “ Who — for instance? ” “ Well, first Jacquette, then Jayne, and now you.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ You mean she has accepted? ” I asked, bitterly.
hvd.hn3gf6	“ You mean the Star of the South, doctor? ” “ Exactly — do you know anything about it? ” “ I know everything."
hvd.hn3gf6	“ You mean the Star of the South, doctor? ” “ Exactly — do you know anything about it? ” “ I know everything."

hvd.hn8gfe	No way of shaving that off, is there?
hvd.hn8gfe	Perhaps, then, his thoughts had wronged Borkman; but if they had, what was all this tangle?
hvd.hn8gfe	Please tell me what to do? ” “ Promise me one thing,"he answered.
hvd.hn8gfe	Scarlett whistled thoughtfully: “ Came prepared, did n't he?

hvd.hn8gfe	Then, as his glance came back to the deck, his eyes flashed: “ Wrong?

hvd.hn8gfe	What's his game? ” He found no answer; and Borkman, when he reappeared later, stalking large in the river- garden, did not enlighten him.
hvd.hn8gfe	What?
hvd.hn8gfe	Where could I have seen it?
hvd.hn8gfe	Where had you two been disporting yourselves? ” “ It's a long story, ” he laughed, “ and a strange one.

hvd.hn8gfe	Why?
hvd.hn8gfe	Wo n't you come dine with us to- morrow night?
hvd.hn8gfe	You go by the German Mail, I suppose? ” “ Oh, no, by the ‘ Prapatom,'on Saturday,"she explained.

hvd.hn8gfe	“ But why,"objected Scarlett, “ why have you dragged these ladies into danger?"
hvd.hn8gfe	“ But- what shall we do? ” “ Say nothing to him, ” he replied slowly.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Ca n't stoop to it eh? ” jeered Borkman.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Ca n't you see? ” he roared.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Could n't I? ” he answered stubbornly.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Did he do it? ”[ 79] THE SIAMESE CAT"No, ” said Owen, as though she had named the guide aloud. “No, I hope — I think not.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Did you hear what Mr. Sanders told at table, about our burglar, – that his Sikh watchman chased some one out of the com- pound last night?
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Do n't I?"
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Do n't know me, do you, Mr. Scarlett? ” he said, with the voice of Borkman.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Feel like say- ing anything? ” “ What's the use? ” rejoined Scarlett, angrily.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Feel like say- ing anything? ” “ What's the use? ” rejoined Scarlett, angrily.

hvd.hn8gfe	“ Have n't you spoken of all this? ” whis- pered Owen.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Ho, is'e?
hvd.hn8gfe	“ How large a ruby could they put inside the bell? ” she asked, irrelevantly.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ How much is this?

hvd.hn8gfe	“ Is n't he a beauty? ” cried Miss Holborow.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ It was rather a cheeky thing to do, was n't it? ” Her tone was cool, her blue eyes shone with uncompromising candour.

hvd.hn8gfe	“ Not all beer and skittles, is it? ” he inquired eying Scarlett as though out of a reverie.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Now is that a pretty speech?"
hvd.hn8gfe	“ One's beard does make a difference, does n't it? ” said the other, affably.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Or shall I repeat them, Mr. Jeweller? ” The deep- set eyes contracted evilly, met Scarlett's in a mutual menace.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Plump, was he? ” asked Scarlett.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ So it's all right? ” said Owen.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ So what's the use of ask- ing you questions? ”.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Some other time we'll fight it out, eh?

hvd.hn8gfe	“ Well, what of it?"
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Well? ” drawled the guide, at last.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What did you tell him? ” asked Miss Hol- borow, amused.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What did you tell them at gendar- merie headquarters? ”.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What do you think he's up to? ” Scarlett shook his head.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What mangoes? ” “ Why, the basket you sent me this noon, sir."
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What thing you do here?
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What was all this? ” he whispered.
hvd.hn8gfe	“ What was it?
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Where did the cat stay last night? ” “ In my room, ” replied Laura.

hvd.hn8gfe	“ Why did n't I pull trigger then?
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Why should be abuse that poor coolie so?"
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Why, ” she asked wickedly, “ did you dash away so last night?
hvd.hn8gfe	“ Will you give him up without trouble, or do you want to fight for him?"
hvd.hn8gfe	“ You'll come? ” said Borkman, who seemed to have grasped the situation completely.

hvd.hn1qud	Is this his first attack?
hvd.hn1qud	It will win, John; you always win,declared Blake,"but what can I do?
hvd.hn1qud	Jessie, why was he such a brute with you last night?
hvd.hn1qud	Living yet, eh? hvd.hn1qud Looks sorter peaked like; do n't you think so, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	May I call to- morrow evening, and not plead business with the general as a pretext?
hvd.hn1qud	May I say something to you, Miss Carden?
hvd.hn1qud	May I see him then?
hvd.hn1qud	Must be a new sensation to burn my money? hvd.hn1qud My curse goes with that money?"
hvd.hn1qud	New England? hvd.hn1qud Oh, what has happened, John?
hvd.hn1qud	Oh, what will Govie say? hvd.hn1qud Sam Rounds was in to see you yesterday, was he not?"

hvd.hn1qud	To whom?
hvd.hn1qud	Was he a whaling captain?
hvd.hn1qud	Was her name Susie?

hvd.hn1qud	Where do you suppose the base of that pine tree is?
hvd.hn1qud	Where is John?
hvd.hn1qud	Where, John?
hvd.hn1qud	Which way shall we go?
hvd.hn1qud	Who is that gentleman?
hvd.hn1qud	Who is that woman?
hvd.hn1qud	Who's there?
hvd.hn1qud	Who? hvd.hn1qud Why do n't yer spend it, Ma Rounds?"

hvd.hn1qud	Why not?
hvd.hn1qud	Why, Jessie Carden, what have you been doing?

hvd.hn1qud	Will you kiss me, Jessie?
hvd.hn1qud	Would I? hvd.hn1qud Would n't Mr. Morris make a heroic figure in a duel?
hvd.hn1qud	Yes? hvd.hn1qud You are to meet him this evening, are you not?"
hvd.hn1qud	You do n't like him? hvd.hn1qud You know I'm sorry, do n't you, Govie?
hvd.hn1qud	You know a lot about stocks, do n't you? hvd.hn1qud You know her?
hvd.hn1qud	You met her? hvd.hn1qud You still love John Burt?"
hvd.hn1qud	You think it's bad form, eh? hvd.hn1qud You'll excuse me, wo n't you, Jessie?"
hvd.hn1qud	You'll keep my secret, wo n't you, old chap?
hvd.hn1qud	You've raised hell, have n't you?
hvd.hn1qud	Your absence from the dinner would — well, it would be very em- barrassing, do n't you see? hvd.hn1qud lean help you?"
hvd.hn1qud	'"Ye've come at last, Bill Shaw, have ye?'
hvd.hn1qud	'Do ye want to sleep all day?
hvd.hn1qud	'Have you a warrant for his arrest, or a search warrant?"
hvd.hn1qud	'Morris on Marriage; or Musings on Mediaeval and Modern Matrimony'—how is that for a warm title?

hvd.hn1qud	379 JOHN BUR T"First Ward — Alderman Patrick?"
hvd.hn1qud	406 J OHN BURT"What's that?
hvd.hn1qud	61 JOHN BURT"Did you have a good time?"
hvd.hn1qud	A mere trifle of a few thousands, do n't you know, but a fellow never goes broke taking profits; 209 JOHN BURT eh, Mr. Blake?
hvd.hn1qud	Again, why should he aspire to the love of a woman who was ready to throw herself into the arms of a besotted millionaire?
hvd.hn1qud	Ai n't never hearn of John Burt, have ye?
hvd.hn1qud	Am I to blame for loving her?
hvd.hn1qud	And Jessie Carden?
hvd.hn1qud	And how are you, Hawkins?"
hvd.hn1qud	And now I can go, ca n't I, papa?"
hvd.hn1qud	And what has he gotten out of it?
hvd.hn1qud	And what of Jessie?
hvd.hn1qud	And why do n't you like him, my pet?"
hvd.hn1qud	And why should it not?
hvd.hn1qud	And you knew him?
hvd.hn1qud	And you're not angry with me now,* 59 JOHN BURT are you, Miss Carden?
hvd.hn1qud	Are we likely to be disturbed here?"
hvd.hn1qud	Are ye all through work?
hvd.hn1qud	Are you hurt, John?
hvd.hn1qud	Are you ill?"
hvd.hn1qud	Are you married, Sam?"
hvd.hn1qud	Are you not afraid he will recognize you?"
hvd.hn1qud	Are you sure you do n't love him, Jessie, just a little bit?"

hvd.hn1qud	But how erbout Jim Blake, John?
hvd.hn1qud	But what was the secret?
hvd.hn1qud	But why had James Blake been thrust into his career?
hvd.hn1qud	By Jove, you'll be my bes'man at weddin'— bes'man at my weddin'—won't you?"
hvd.hn1qud	By what miserable chance had he selected that ominous date?
hvd.hn1qud	Ca n't I stand up and pray?"
hvd.hn1qud	Ca n't a man have a summer flirtation without a marriage at the end of it?"
hvd.hn1qud	Ca n't he, papa?"
hvd.hn1qud	Can I do anything?"
hvd.hn1qud	Can you do so without violating your trust?"
hvd.hn1qud	Can you give me them, sweetheart?"
hvd.hn1qud	Carden?"
hvd.hn1qud	Could any human being hold fast in such a position?

hvd.hn1qud	D'ye understand?
hvd.hn1qud	Dew ye really?"
hvd.hn1qud	Dew ye think I'd better try it, er let well- enough alone?
hvd.hn1qud	Did I ever see her, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Did I say or do anything out of the way?"
hvd.hn1qud	Did John Burt yet live?
hvd.hn1qud	Did n't I allers 3* 4 ALDERMAN ROUNDS say somethin'like this would happen?
hvd.hn1qud	Did n't I tell you she wo n't have a dollar — not one dollar?
hvd.hn1qud	Did the old man ever mention the name of Jack Hawkins to you?"
hvd.hn1qud	Did you burn your fingers — again — Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	Did you ever see her, John?
hvd.hn1qud	Did you hear of Miss Carden?

hvd.hn1qud	Did you see him, Jim?
hvd.hn1qud	Do n't you know me, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do n't you think so, Blake?
hvd.hn1qud	Do n't you think so, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do n't you think so, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do n't you think so?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do they go like this?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you believe what I have told you, my child?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you feel anything?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you feel like getting out at 150, general?
hvd.hn1qud	Do you go there this season, Miss Carden?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you know Arthur Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you know where Peter Burt lived — Peter Burt, the old crazy man who used to pray at night from the top of the big rock?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you know, Jessie, I was awfully afraid you intended to accept him?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you mind telling me, Sam, what you know of this matter?
hvd.hn1qud	Do you promise me, my boy?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you remember I clutched your arm and pointed out of the window?
hvd.hn1qud	Do you remember John Burt?

hvd.hn1qud	Do you see that scar?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you suppose they will fight, Jessie?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you suppose we'll ever hear from John Burt, Jim?
hvd.hn1qud	Do you think you could endure the company of three foolish girls all day, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Do you wish me to be a monk in this old monastery?
hvd.hn1qud	Does he bite?"
hvd.hn1qud	Does this explain the mystery?
hvd.hn1qud	Even admitting that John does love her, is not my love a thousand times greater than his?
hvd.hn1qud	Ever have a relation by the name of Peter Burt?"
hvd.hn1qud	Farnsworth?"
hvd.hn1qud	First of it you ever saw, is n't it?
hvd.hn1qud	Forgive me, Jim, will you?"
hvd.hn1qud	From whom is your letter?"
hvd.hn1qud	Going to Cali- fornia?
hvd.hn1qud	Good afternoon, sir?"
hvd.hn1qud	Had he fallen seven times?
hvd.hn1qud	Had he not already passed unscathed through Sam Rounds's disclosure?
hvd.hn1qud	Had not Morris wealth, influence, social standing?
hvd.hn1qud	Had she not told him that she would not marry until two years had passed?
hvd.hn1qud	Haou air ye, Jim?
hvd.hn1qud	Haou air ye?"
hvd.hn1qud	Haou de ye dew, John?
hvd.hn1qud	Has he a daugh- ter?"
hvd.hn1qud	Have I your permission, Miss Carden, to challenge Mr. Morris to such a wager?"
hvd.hn1qud	Have it cooked or raw?
hvd.hn1qud	Have ye got any money?"
hvd.hn1qud	His coachman drove him home, and as he stepped from his carriage his man said: •"'Excuse me, sir, but did you order them oats?
hvd.hn1qud	How about a chunk of deer meat?
hvd.hn1qud	How are you, General Carden?
hvd.hn1qud	How are you?"
hvd.hn1qud	How can I help it?
hvd.hn1qud	How could he break 228 BAD NEWS the news to his friend?
hvd.hn1qud	How could he help Blake to save himself be- fore it was irretrievably too late?
hvd.hn1qud	How did I learn of it?
hvd.hn1qud	How did it close last night?"
hvd.hn1qud	How did you hap- pen to strike ore in those hills?
hvd.hn1qud	How do you know, Mr. Blake?
hvd.hn1qud	How does he stand in New York?
hvd.hn1qud	How does it stand now?"
hvd.hn1qud	How is Mr. Rounds?
hvd.hn1qud	How much do you lack of control?"
hvd.hn1qud	How much of that rotten stock have you bought?
hvd.hn1qud	How old is he?"
hvd.hn1qud	How the devil did you guess that name?
hvd.hn1qud	How was he to lie to him?
hvd.hn1qud	How would you like to take my place, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	I asked him how to catch crabs and he showed me, and I caught two at once, did n't I, John Burt?"
hvd.hn1qud	I can go, ca n't I, papa?"
hvd.hn1qud	I just love him, Jessie, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1qud	I knew him the moment he spoke, did n't I, John?
hvd.hn1qud	I suppose you think, because the bottom has n't fallen out of Cos- mopolitan, that you're all right, do n't ye?
hvd.hn1qud	I thought you told me you was n't going to marry her?
hvd.hn1qud	I wonder how she came to fall in love with John?
hvd.hn1qud	I wonder if it was in any other papers?"
hvd.hn1qud	I — I sup- pose —""Has Jessie returned?
hvd.hn1qud	I —""Where is John?"
hvd.hn1qud	I'm nearing a crisis, am I?
hvd.hn1qud	I'm not prying into your affairs, old man?"
hvd.hn1qud	I've been acquainted with Miss Carden for years — five years, is it not, Miss Carden?"
hvd.hn1qud	If alive, why did he not come himself?
hvd.hn1qud	If you're James Blake& Company, who'n the dickens is Jim?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is Miss Carden at home, and may I see her for a moment?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is he dead?
hvd.hn1qud	Is it all arranged beyond any doubt?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is it really and truly silk?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is it too ambitious?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is love selfish?
hvd.hn1qud	Is my grandfather alive?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is n't it awful?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is n't it nice to have some one who knows just what you wish and where to find it?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is n't it splen- did, Edith?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is n't it strange, Mr. Blake, that both of us are familiar with that out- of- the- way country?
hvd.hn1qud	Is n't that great luck?
hvd.hn1qud	Is n't the view charming across the level of the marsh to the rocks and the dark fringe of pines beyond?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is that agreeable to you, pet?"
hvd.hn1qud	Is that so?
hvd.hn1qud	Is that the way for a lover to act?
hvd.hn1qud	Is there anything else you need?
hvd.hn1qud	Is there anything more you want?"
hvd.hn1qud	It had grown so dark that John could not see her face, but there was a tremor in her voice when she asked:"Will he die, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	It must have been some- thing awfull Perhaps his father is dead?"
hvd.hn1qud	It must mean 28?"
hvd.hn1qud	It was a gambler's chance — had not he been a gambler all his life?
hvd.hn1qud	It was near the upper edge of a slope about as steep as Doc Stevens'barn — you remember that barn, John?
hvd.hn1qud	It wo n't snow in the tunnel, will it, old fellow?"
hvd.hn1qud	It would n't do for both of us to love him, would it, cousin mine?"
hvd.hn1qud	It's the great annual event, is n't it, of this vicinity?
hvd.hn1qud	Jessie, have you noth- ing to say to the young man who saved your life?"
hvd.hn1qud	Later.—// is rumored thai the banking house of Randolph Morris Of Company has sus- FATHER AND SON"What are you doing there?"
hvd.hn1qud	Let's shake hands and call it square?"
hvd.hn1qud	Lovely old place — that of the Bishops — isn't it?
hvd.hn1qud	May I love you that way?
hvd.hn1qud	Morris is heavily interested in them, and all that sort of thing, do n't you know?
hvd.hn1qud	Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	My fee?
hvd.hn1qud	No objection to my fishin', have you?"
hvd.hn1qud	No?
hvd.hn1qud	No?
hvd.hn1qud	No?
hvd.hn1qud	Of course you accepted, Jim?"
hvd.hn1qud	Oh, Jessie, how could you do such a thing?"
hvd.hn1qud	Oh, is he dead?"
hvd.hn1qud	Oh, papa, is there nothing we can do?"
hvd.hn1qud	Oh, what has happened?"
hvd.hn1qud	Perhaps John was dead?
hvd.hn1qud	Perhaps the affair of the years before was only a boyhood dis- pute?
hvd.hn1qud	Perhaps the deal had collapsed?
hvd.hn1qud	Pretty slick, eh?
hvd.hn1qud	Raw, did you say?
hvd.hn1qud	Ready for break- fast, eh?
hvd.hn1qud	Say, John, I wonder what he'd think if he knew I was in your office now?
hvd.hn1qud	Say, you trimmed'em up right an'proper, did n't ye?
hvd.hn1qud	Seems worried over something, do n't you think?"
hvd.hn1qud	Seen a bear?
hvd.hn1qud	Some one has to do this work and why not me?
hvd.hn1qud	Speaking of Peter Burt, how old did you say he is?"
hvd.hn1qud	Suppose I should drop dead?
hvd.hn1qud	Suppose he does love her?
hvd.hn1qud	That 239 JOHN BURT French chap Monte — Monte — what's his name?
hvd.hn1qud	That was a possibility, but why should he make a secret of his love affairs at that late day?
hvd.hn1qud	The clock on the mantel angrily ticked,"Why?"
hvd.hn1qud	The feud 211 JOHN BURT had made John rich — why should John complain?
hvd.hn1qud	The one that's been givin'them New York sharps a whirl in stocks?"
hvd.hn1qud	The resonant voice which challenged wind and wave sounded harsh as he exclaimed:"Where's the lantern, John?
hvd.hn1qud	There must'er been a red- haired Rounds sometime or nother, else heow dew ye account fer me?"
hvd.hn1qud	This is a rare piece of good fortune, Jim, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1qud	Thought I would n't know John, did n't ye?
hvd.hn1qud	Wall, John,"he concluded, relapsing 164 THE SAI- LOR MINE to the familiar Yankee drawl,"'do n't this beat time,'as Uncle Toby Haynes used to say?"
hvd.hn1qud	Was Blake in love?
hvd.hn1qud	Was he John Burt?
hvd.hn1qud	Was he piqued or jealous that the hour was near when the world would know that another was the commanding genius of the firm of James Blake& Company?
hvd.hn1qud	Was he the bearer of tidings from John Burt?
hvd.hn1qud	Was it John Burt?
hvd.hn1qud	Was it a dream, a cruel phantasmagoria invoked by fiends to torment a slumbering brain?
hvd.hn1qud	Was it not natural that 232 BAD NEWS General Carden should look with favor on the young millionaire's suit?
hvd.hn1qud	Was n't he big?"
hvd.hn1qud	Was not Jessie under obligations to him?
hvd.hn1qud	We were here first, warn't we?
hvd.hn1qud	Were years of patient waiting and work- ing to be rewarded or unrequited?
hvd.hn1qud	Whare ye goin'?'
hvd.hn1qud	What about this daughter?"
hvd.hn1qud	What agreement will you make, assuming that your expert confirms my statements?
hvd.hn1qud	What amount did Morris ad- vance to Carden?"
hvd.hn1qud	What are you — a wizard?
hvd.hn1qud	What can I do for you, 179 JOHN BURT sir?
hvd.hn1qud	What chance is there for John to see it?
hvd.hn1qud	What could be the matter?

hvd.hn1qud	What have you to say to me, sir?"
hvd.hn1qud	What if he did meet her first?
hvd.hn1qud	What in thunder is my opinion on the new currency bill, John?
hvd.hn1qud	What makes you think so, Morris?"
hvd.hn1qud	What motive could Blake have for mystery or evasion?
hvd.hn1qud	What reason had he to doubt the statement made by Morris?
hvd.hn1qud	What right had he to as- pire to the love of Jessie Carden, the daughter of a rich man; beautiful beyond any woman he had ever seen?
hvd.hn1qud	What right had he to expect that she should play the part of Penelope to a silent, untrothed Ulysses who refused to return from exile?
hvd.hn1qud	What right had he to imperil that which would insure the hap- piness of his daughter and the repose of his old age?
hvd.hn1qud	What right has wealth to erect a barrier around your heart and post sentinels to challenge one who worships you unselfishly?
hvd.hn1qud	What shall I do; what shall I do?
hvd.hn1qud	What shall I tell them, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	What sin had he committed?
hvd.hn1qud	What the devil has old Carden's money got to do about it?
hvd.hn1qud	What valid, lasting claim had he on Jessie Carden?
hvd.hn1qud	What was friendship, loyalty, fame or fortune in the balance with one smile from the woman he had learned so suddenly to love?
hvd.hn1qud	What was he to say to this old man?
hvd.hn1qud	What was it?
hvd.hn1qud	What weighty secret have you to disclose, Mr. Morris?
hvd.hn1qud	What were you doing in Hingham?"
hvd.hn1qud	What will your auntie say?
hvd.hn1qud	What woman could come between them?
hvd.hn1qud	What would he have done had he known that you were not fifty feet away when, as your proxy, I made that generous offer?"
hvd.hn1qud	What would your father say?
hvd.hn1qud	What's the matter, old man?
hvd.hn1qud	What's the story?"
hvd.hn1qud	What's up with him?"

hvd.hn1qud	Where's the kitchen, Samuel?"
hvd.hn1qud	Where?"
hvd.hn1qud	Which way are ye goin'?
hvd.hn1qud	Who knows?
hvd.hn1qud	Who the devil is she?
hvd.hn1qud	Who was this man who lived on a farm near Hingham, and who once was ac- quainted with Jessie Carden?
hvd.hn1qud	Who'd a thunk it; who'd a thunk it?"
hvd.hn1qud	Who's coming?
hvd.hn1qud	Why d'ye ask, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Why did n't he give Carden what the stock was worth, take it up, and then go on with his sheep- killing?"
hvd.hn1qud	Why do n't you write a book about it?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had James Blake proved false to the man who unselfishly befriended him?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had John Burt consecrated years of his life in stern preparation for the crisis then at hand?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had fate cast him as a reptile ever crawling across her path?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had fate thrust this cup to his lips?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had he devoted years to the amass- ing of wealth which now mocked his love?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had he done so?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had he failed to take steps to positively ascer- tain the result of Morris's wound?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had he not been content with a modest fortune?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had he relied on the prediction of a half- crazed old man?
hvd.hn1qud	Why had he sought to repay loyalty with perfidy?
hvd.hn1qud	Why should I not love you?
hvd.hn1qud	Why should the fatal number repeat itself?
hvd.hn1qud	Why was he willing to risk everything in a single combat with the man who stood between him and his crowning ambition?
hvd.hn1qud	Why were the accumulated fortunes of a lifetime about to be risked in a grim struggle for financial life or death?
hvd.hn1qud	Why were these masked millions drawn up in battle array?
hvd.hn1qud	Will he die?
hvd.hn1qud	Will that satisfy you?"
hvd.hn1qud	Will you come in, sir?"
hvd.hn1qud	Will you give me an option on your claim?
hvd.hn1qud	Will you heed his earnest admonition to the one being on earth he loves, for whom his prayers ascend to heaven?"
hvd.hn1qud	Will you promise not to be angry with me then?
hvd.hn1qud	Will you promise, Jessie?"
hvd.hn1qud	Will you promise?"
hvd.hn1qud	Will you send for her, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Will you, John?"
hvd.hn1qud	Wo n't you please — John Burt?"
hvd.hn1qud	Would John surrender the woman he loved for me?
hvd.hn1qud	Would he return?
hvd.hn1qud	Would n't it be great if I went up to the Bishop house and found her there?
hvd.hn1qud	Would she we d John Burt for money?
hvd.hn1qud	Would you like to meet him?"
hvd.hn1qud	Yes, I'm to be congratulated a lotl Hello, what's the row?
hvd.hn1qud	You do n't mean to say that my father — General Carden — is the recipient of a favor — an unfair accommodation at any banker's hands?"
hvd.hn1qud	You do n't mean to tell me that you know him?"
hvd.hn1qud	You know Rogers, of course?"
hvd.hn1qud	You know how it rained yesterday mornin'?
hvd.hn1qud	You know me, Blake, old fel\ do n't you?
hvd.hn1qud	You recall him, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1qud	You saw him, did you, Jim?
hvd.hn1qud	You told me once, as I remember, that you were born in Massachusetts, did n't you?"
hvd.hn1qud	You under- stand, Jim?
hvd.hn1qud	You understand, do n't you, Jim?"
hvd.hn1qud	You will be very careful, wo n't you, Jessie?"
hvd.hn1qud	You will go; wo n't you — Miss Carden?"
hvd.hn1qud	You've heard the news, have n't you?
hvd.hn1qud	Your name's 37 JOHN BURT Blake, is n't it?
hvd.hn1qud	down in cash, an'the balance deposited with a third party an'paid over when the bills is passed?'
hvd.32044074348939	A sort of a friend?
hvd.32044074348939	Ah — coming to your senses, are n't you?
hvd.32044074348939	Ah, Allan,he answered,"so you are here, after all?
hvd.32044074348939	Ah, and what can we do for you?
hvd.32044074348939	Alone?
hvd.32044074348939	An anarchist?
hvd.32044074348939	And I am surely very grateful to fate —"Would you mind looking at your watch — please?
hvd.32044074348939	And ca n't you suggest anything? hvd.32044074348939 And the fact that not until now has his lord- ship proposed to marry some one else — that of course has nothing to do with it?"
hvd.32044074348939	And what has Mr. Minot to do with this?
hvd.32044074348939	And what,asked Owen Jephson,"is your proposition?"
hvd.32044074348939	And you were n't convinced? hvd.32044074348939 And you'll take Mr. George Harrowby with you?"
hvd.32044074348939	And you've never been at Rakedale Hall, have you?
hvd.32044074348939	And — so far — only you know of my — er — ex- husband?
hvd.32044074348939	And — something has happened?
hvd.32044074348939	And — you are glad I am not leaving San Marco quite beaten?
hvd.32044074348939	Are n't you going to thank me?
hvd.32044074348939	Are there no libel laws down here?
hvd.32044074348939	Are you Manuel Gonzale?
hvd.32044074348939	Are you leaving town — in a hurry?
hvd.32044074348939	Are you mad? hvd.32044074348939 Are you the editor?"
hvd.32044074348939	Best for you? hvd.32044074348939 Board the Lilcth?"
hvd.32044074348939	Both of you?
hvd.32044074348939	Business? hvd.32044074348939 But are we?
hvd.32044074348939	But do n't stop to 158 LOVE INSURANCE buy a champagne supper for a trained seal, will you? hvd.32044074348939 But do you dare — can't you be arrested?"
hvd.32044074348939	But have n't you just lost —"A diamond necklace? hvd.32044074348939 But what?"
hvd.32044074348939	But where are you going? hvd.32044074348939 But — aren't they cunning?
hvd.32044074348939	But — that good- looking young fellow, Harry — the one who apol- ogized to us for calling us blackmailers —"Yes?
hvd.32044074348939	But, my dear lady,said Harrowby in a daze,"is n't it the Romans?"
hvd.32044074348939	By the way, Cynthia,the hostess inquired,"have you heard from Helen Arden lately?"
hvd.32044074348939	By the way,Paddock said as they went up the hotel steps,"you have n't told me what brought you south?"
hvd.32044074348939	By the way,said Mrs. Bruce's jester, hold- ing up a small, badly printed newspaper,"have you made the acquaintance of the San Marco Mail yet?"
hvd.32044074348939	Ca n't you understand? hvd.32044074348939 Ca n't you?
hvd.32044074348939	Can it be that Wilson was a fraud? hvd.32044074348939 Can you get us there by one o'clock?"
hvd.32044074348939	Chain Lightning's what?
hvd.32044074348939	Clever beasts, are n't they?
hvd.32044074348939	Cynthia — what is it?
hvd.32044074348939	Cynthia — your father said — is it true?
hvd.32044074348939	Cynthia?
hvd.32044074348939	Dear, it's easy if you try; Cross your heart and hope to die — Do n't you love me just a little — now?
hvd.32044074348939	Did I say her father was in the plumbing business?
hvd.32044074348939	Did I say the young woman was vivacious?
hvd.32044074348939	Did he invite you aboard?
hvd.32044074348939	Did you get my emphasis on the word yet?
hvd.32044074348939	Did you row out here to tell me that?
hvd.32044074348939	Do I look like Cupid, gentlemen? hvd.32044074348939 Do I?"
hvd.32044074348939	Do n't know? hvd.32044074348939 Do n't they?
hvd.32044074348939	Do they?
hvd.32044074348939	Do you deny,he demanded with the air of a prosecutor,"that you had an older brother by the name of George?"
hvd.32044074348939	Do you gentlemen happen to have heard where the editor of Mr. Gonzale's late newspaper, published in Havana, is now?
hvd.32044074348939	Do you mean to tell me,he inquired,"that you lived in New York two years ago and did n't hear of Cotrell's Ink Eraser?"
hvd.32044074348939	Do you mind — a little walk?
hvd.32044074348939	Do you realize,Thacker cried,"that seventy- five thousand pounds of your good money de- pends on the honor of Lord Harrowby?"
hvd.32044074348939	Do you really?
hvd.32044074348939	Done? hvd.32044074348939 Eh?
hvd.32044074348939	Excuse a personal question, but did n't I see you talking with Miss Cynthia Meyrick a while back?
hvd.32044074348939	Father thinks it best —"But you?
hvd.32044074348939	For New York?
hvd.32044074348939	For the love of heaven,Minot asked, as they stepped together into a secluded corner,"what ails you?"
hvd.32044074348939	Forget what?
hvd.32044074348939	Four columns of what?
hvd.32044074348939	From — er — Lloyds?
hvd.32044074348939	Glory be — do you hear that, Harry? hvd.32044074348939 Going to stay here all night?"
hvd.32044074348939	Good heavens — you're not going to listen to him? hvd.32044074348939 Good lord — what?"
hvd.32044074348939	Good lord, man — what ails you?
hvd.32044074348939	Great Scott — does Harrowby owe you money?
hvd.32044074348939	Have n't I one friend left? hvd.32044074348939 Havel?
hvd.32044074348939	Heavens, Harry, is that the way they look at TWO BIRDS OF PASSAGE 171 it here? hvd.32044074348939 Hello — I want Allan Harrowby — ah, that's Minot talking, is n't it?
hvd.32044074348939	Her — what?
hvd.32044074348939	Here in the moon- light, with that waltz playing, and the old palms whispering — is this a time to talk of taxi bills?
hvd.32044074348939	How about it, little brother?
hvd.32044074348939	How can I ever thank you?
hvd.32044074348939	How do I know that?
hvd.32044074348939	How do you do, sir? hvd.32044074348939 How do you like Florida?"
hvd.32044074348939	How's that?
hvd.32044074348939	I am right, am I not,his lordship continued,"in the assumption that Lloyds frequently takes rather unusual risks?"
hvd.32044074348939	I do n't know — who usually stops it?
hvd.32044074348939	I guess we tossed a bomb, eh? hvd.32044074348939 I hate to talk about myself, but say — ever hear of Cotrell's Ink Eraser?
hvd.32044074348939	I have n't asked you the conventional ques- tion?
hvd.32044074348939	I have your lordship's word that the young lady is at present determined on this alli- ance? hvd.32044074348939 I presume Lady Evelyn was the mother of the present Lord Harrowby?"
hvd.32044074348939	I presume you want the giddy story of my life I promised you yesterday? hvd.32044074348939 I say, Jack, did you earn that writing fiction?"
hvd.32044074348939	I say,Minot inquired,"has your machine got the Sextette from Lucia?"
hvd.32044074348939	I suppose,Paddock remarked,"we stay here until morning?"
hvd.32044074348939	I suppose,ventured O'Neill, most of the flash gone from his manner,"there is no other newspaper here?"
hvd.32044074348939	I wonder what she's up to now?
hvd.32044074348939	I wonder — if you really knew—"Knew what?
hvd.32044074348939	I — I beg your pardon,he stammered,"but would you mind telling me one thing?"
hvd.32044074348939	I'm obliged — why, what's the matter, sir?
hvd.32044074348939	If we'd asked the president of the First National Bank for jobs, do you suppose we'd be in charge there now?
hvd.32044074348939	In San Marco?
hvd.32044074348939	In just what inland hamlet, untouched by telegraph, telephone, newspaper and railroad,he asked,"have you been living?"
hvd.32044074348939	In my interests?
hvd.32044074348939	Indeed?
hvd.32044074348939	Indeed?
hvd.32044074348939	Is it customary for girls to pursue their part- ners?
hvd.32044074348939	Is it — to change her mind?
hvd.32044074348939	Is n't it a rather big order? hvd.32044074348939 Is n't that a devil of a night- cap?"
hvd.32044074348939	Is n't there? hvd.32044074348939 Is n't what the Romans?"
hvd.32044074348939	Is that fair to the young lady who —"Who is to become my wife?
hvd.32044074348939	Is your knowledge of the ways of women confined to books?
hvd.32044074348939	It was lucky, was n't it?
hvd.32044074348939	It's as I told you this morning,he said 282 LOVE INSURANCE"And you think that Martin Wall has the real Chain Lightning's Collar?"
hvd.32044074348939	It's suicide, too, is n't it?
hvd.32044074348939	It's wonderful, is n't it?
hvd.32044074348939	Just how,inquired Minot,"do you happen to know?"
hvd.32044074348939	Just what is your interest in the matter?
hvd.32044074348939	Just who is Wilson?
hvd.32044074348939	Lady,said the chauffeur,"I'd do anything I could, within reason —""Can you get us to San Marco by one o'clock?"
hvd.32044074348939	Like it? hvd.32044074348939 Lost it?"
hvd.32044074348939	May I say that?
hvd.32044074348939	May I see you a moment?
hvd.32044074348939	May I see you a moment?
hvd.32044074348939	May I speak with you a moment?
hvd.32044074348939	Me?
hvd.32044074348939	Mean?
hvd.32044074348939	Mean?'
hvd.32044074348939	Minot — what would you advise?
hvd.32044074348939	Mirth, eh?
hvd.32044074348939	Mr. Minot, of Lloyds?
hvd.32044074348939	Mr. Minot, will you be kind enough to bring me a policy blank?
hvd.32044074348939	Mushrooms, did you say?
hvd.32044074348939	My boy,he said angrily,"did any one ever tell you you were a bad- luck jinx?"
hvd.32044074348939	My dear fellow,said Wall,"can you ever forgive me?
hvd.32044074348939	My word, old boy, who then?
hvd.32044074348939	No black- mailing stunts while we stay?
hvd.32044074348939	No reason why we should n't be friends, eh? hvd.32044074348939 No — what's that?"
hvd.32044074348939	No? hvd.32044074348939 No?
hvd.32044074348939	No? hvd.32044074348939 Noisy little beasts, are n't they?
hvd.32044074348939	Not bad, CHAIN LIGHTNING'S COLLAR 117 eh? hvd.32044074348939 Of course, you'll go after him and bring him back?"
hvd.32044074348939	Oh — you're still here?
hvd.32044074348939	Oh — you're sure of that, are you?
hvd.32044074348939	Oh, Mr. Minot — won't you come into my par- lor?
hvd.32044074348939	Oh, dear — what is it now?
hvd.32044074348939	Oh, what's the use? hvd.32044074348939 Oh, why look it up?"
hvd.32044074348939	Oh, wo n't there?
hvd.32044074348939	Old chap, what are we going to do at ten in the morning?
hvd.32044074348939	On what topics?
hvd.32044074348939	Only —"Notice the catbirds down here?
hvd.32044074348939	Perhaps you know him, Lord Harrowby?
hvd.32044074348939	Please — have you a match?
hvd.32044074348939	Postponed it?
hvd.32044074348939	Promise?
hvd.32044074348939	Really?
hvd.32044074348939	Remember Mrs. Bruce, the wittiest hostess in San Marco?
hvd.32044074348939	Say — who stopped this train?
hvd.32044074348939	Say, Harrowby,he inquired,"who the devil are you?"
hvd.32044074348939	Say, do you know anything about the yacht that's just steamed out?
hvd.32044074348939	Say, who is this Jenkins we hear so much about?
hvd.32044074348939	Say, you ai n't going to shoot anybody, are you?
hvd.32044074348939	Say,cried Trimmer in the hall,"is that on the level?
hvd.32044074348939	Scandals?
hvd.32044074348939	Search me — for what?
hvd.32044074348939	See here— he turned to Mears—"are you offering to resign in our favor?"
hvd.32044074348939	See here, you cringing cur — what does this mean?
hvd.32044074348939	Seen what those Lon- don suffragettes have done now?
hvd.32044074348939	Shall we go in?
hvd.32044074348939	Shall we — go?
hvd.32044074348939	She is a ripper, is n't she?
hvd.32044074348939	Since you are convinced I am the owner of the yacht,said George Harrowby, rising,"I take it you will leave it at once?"
hvd.32044074348939	So he fright- ened the girl he is to marry — the girl he is sup- posed to love —What should he do?
hvd.32044074348939	So that's your tale, is it?
hvd.32044074348939	So you are to carry Cynthia away?
hvd.32044074348939	So you changed your mind about going north?
hvd.32044074348939	Some scene, is n't it?
hvd.32044074348939	Sorry for him?
hvd.32044074348939	Suppose you know about the wedding?
hvd.32044074348939	That's right — you do n't know, do you? hvd.32044074348939 That?
hvd.32044074348939	The gentleman who visited Lord Harrowby an hour back?
hvd.32044074348939	The little girl?
hvd.32044074348939	Then you did not follow? hvd.32044074348939 Then you will stay?"
hvd.32044074348939	There's no doubt, is there, Mr. Huntley, that the necklace you have in your pocket is the one Lord Har- rowby brought from England?
hvd.32044074348939	This is to be the most important luncheon of my life because —"Yes?
hvd.32044074348939	Trimmer,said Martin Wall, speaking for the first time,"how much money do you want?"
hvd.32044074348939	Two men — who were they?
hvd.32044074348939	Wake up? hvd.32044074348939 Want a taxi, mister?"
hvd.32044074348939	Was it happy for me, for that matter?
hvd.32044074348939	Was it the thing to do, after all? hvd.32044074348939 Was n't that giving big odds?"
hvd.32044074348939	Well then — shall we say eleven o'clock? hvd.32044074348939 Well — I should n't call them that —""No blackmailing stunts?"
hvd.32044074348939	Well — what d'you want?
hvd.32044074348939	Well — what is it?
hvd.32044074348939	Well — what now?
hvd.32044074348939	Well, Richard?
hvd.32044074348939	Well, what is the trouble?
hvd.32044074348939	Well,said the stranger, over a table in the grill,"what'll you have?
hvd.32044074348939	Wha — what do you imagine he wants?
hvd.32044074348939	Wha — what does this mean?
hvd.32044074348939	Wha — what service?
hvd.32044074348939	Wha — what's that?
hvd.32044074348939	What are you going to do?
hvd.32044074348939	What are your orders, sir?
hvd.32044074348939	What can I do for you?
hvd.32044074348939	What can we do for you?
hvd.32044074348939	What could happen?
hvd.32044074348939	What do you mean by that, my boy?
hvd.32044074348939	What do you mean?
hvd.32044074348939	What do you mean?
hvd.32044074348939	What do you think — re- ward large enough?

hvd.32044074348939	Was it really very dull?"
hvd.32044074348939	Was she making game of him?
hvd.32044074348939	Was that how it must be between them hereafter?
hvd.32044074348939	Was there anything dishonorable in that?
hvd.32044074348939	We are here this morn- ing to perform a duty —""My dear fellow,"broke in Harrowby wearily,"why should you inflict oratory upon us?
hvd.32044074348939	We ought to thrash him — now — and —""Go back on the road?"
hvd.32044074348939	Well — what about it?"
hvd.32044074348939	Well, admitting you're Harrowby, how are you going to prove it?"
hvd.32044074348939	Wha — what are we going to do?"
hvd.32044074348939	What are we doing here?
hvd.32044074348939	What are you doing, standing there?
hvd.32044074348939	What are you going to do?"
hvd.32044074348939	What are you saying?"
hvd.32044074348939	What can I do for you?"
hvd.32044074348939	What could I do?"
hvd.32044074348939	What could he do?
hvd.32044074348939	What could he do?
hvd.32044074348939	What did she mean by that?
hvd.32044074348939	What do you know?"
hvd.32044074348939	What do you mean?"
hvd.32044074348939	What do you think?
hvd.32044074348939	What do you want?"
hvd.32044074348939	What does it matter to you who I am?
hvd.32044074348939	What had the girl been about to say?
hvd.32044074348939	What honor could one expect in a Persian carpet dealer?"
hvd.32044074348939	What if I was to tell your friends here who you are?"
hvd.32044074348939	What is it?"
hvd.32044074348939	What is this — a comic opera or a town?
hvd.32044074348939	What mean trick was this fate had played him as he entered San Marco?
hvd.32044074348939	What new complication must he meet and solve?
hvd.32044074348939	What save keep his word, given on the seventeenth floor of an office building in New York?
hvd.32044074348939	What shall I do?"
hvd.32044074348939	What sort of a bomb?
hvd.32044074348939	What sum had you in mind, Lord Har- rowby?"
hvd.32044074348939	What the deuce have you been doing, old boy?"
hvd.32044074348939	What use?
hvd.32044074348939	What was the matter with him?
hvd.32044074348939	What was the meaning of that?
hvd.32044074348939	What was woman's greatest privilege?
hvd.32044074348939	What — what was he to say?
hvd.32044074348939	What's the answer, Jack?"
hvd.32044074348939	What's the use?
hvd.32044074348939	When?"
hvd.32044074348939	Where can we find a time- table, I wonder?"
hvd.32044074348939	Where do you want to go, lady?"
hvd.32044074348939	Where had he heard that name before?
hvd.32044074348939	Where is he?"
hvd.32044074348939	Where the gay courtyard with its green palms waving, its fountain tinkling?
hvd.32044074348939	Where was Allan Harrowby?
hvd.32044074348939	Where, she wondered, was the thrill?
hvd.32044074348939	Which is — hadn't we better return to the hotel?"
hvd.32044074348939	Who but the man he had bumped against in that dark passage- way?
hvd.32044074348939	Who could I tell — so soon?"
hvd.32044074348939	Who did?
hvd.32044074348939	Who?
hvd.32044074348939	Why did he shiver in that coat?
hvd.32044074348939	Why do n't you resign, you idiot?"
hvd.32044074348939	Why does n't he do it?"
hvd.32044074348939	Why had Lord Harrowby refused so determin- edly to invite him aboard the yacht that was to bear the eager bridegroom south?
hvd.32044074348939	Why not?
hvd.32044074348939	Why should I have sat up all last night writing lines to try on him?
hvd.32044074348939	Why should I show Harrowby any TEARS FROM THE GAIETY 189 consideration?
hvd.32044074348939	Why should n't she blush — a little?
hvd.32044074348939	Why should this be?
hvd.32044074348939	Why should this girl seem different, somehow, from all the other girls he had ever met?
hvd.32044074348939	Why the deuce did n't you pay the duty on that necklace?"
hvd.32044074348939	Why would she fidget so?
hvd.32044074348939	Why?
hvd.32044074348939	Will a duck swim?
hvd.32044074348939	Will you be kind enough to step into that launch?"
hvd.32044074348939	Will you go down and — say — I'm not to be married, after all?"
hvd.32044074348939	Will you look me up in New York?"
hvd.32044074348939	Wisely she interrupted it:"You said you had news?"
hvd.32044074348939	Wo n't it be a bit difficult — boarding a yacht when you do n't know where to find it?"
hvd.32044074348939	Wo n't you give me the chance?
hvd.32044074348939	Wo n't you join us at dinner?"
hvd.32044074348939	Wo n't you please tell me the figure?"
hvd.32044074348939	Women — aren't they like an — er — April afternoon — or something 20 LOVE INSURANCE of that sort?
hvd.32044074348939	Would n't what — what you are saying be more convincing if you had remained neutral?"
hvd.32044074348939	Would she falter in her lines — forget them com- pletely?
hvd.32044074348939	Would the glare of the footlights frighten her?
hvd.32044074348939	Would you care to see that story on the streets?
hvd.32044074348939	You are in a hole, are n't you?"
hvd.32044074348939	You have heard of him?"
hvd.32044074348939	You have n't lost it?"
hvd.32044074348939	You will look me up in New York, wo n't you?
hvd.32044074348939	You wish Allan?
hvd.32044074348939	You — you were speaking of your wedding gown?"
hvd.32044074348939	You'll take precedence over Marion Bishop — didn't we look that up?
hvd.hn3gf5	Ai n't it true that you was hangin''round his house on the night of November the ninth? ” in- terrupted Craig in a loud voice. hvd.hn3gf5 Did you get him? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gf5	Doctor,she said, “ have n't you thought of a very obvious explanation?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Have you any knowledge of how Mr. Mason met his death? ” “ None at all! ” cried the prisoner excitedly. hvd.hn3gf5 Have you seen many of these signs and symbols on rings? ” “ Scores of them.
hvd.hn3gf5	He'll get away wo n't he? ” demanded Clancy of Barnes. hvd.hn3gf5 Maybe you know? ” “ I do not, ” she confessed, “ but why not look it up?
hvd.hn3gf5	Maybe you know? ” “ I do not, ” she confessed, “ but why not look it up? hvd.hn3gf5 Mr. Floyd Graves?
hvd.hn3gf5	What do you make of it? ” “ It's a warning, ” he said soberly, “ sent to him for the purpose of intimidation.
hvd.hn3gf5	What's that? ” he asked sharply. hvd.hn3gf5 2 S Madame Theba 167 “ I want to know when Pembroke Mason came here to consult you? ” “ To consult me? ” she repeated, sparring for time. hvd.hn3gf5 2 S Madame Theba 167 “ I want to know when Pembroke Mason came here to consult you? ” “ To consult me? ” she repeated, sparring for time. hvd.hn3gf5 202 The Pembroke Mason Affair “ What do you mean, Miss Cooper? ” he de- manded. hvd.hn3gf5 219 220 The Pembroke Mason Affair room was “ Where? ” “ Here — in my rooms. ” “ Do you think she'll come? hvd.hn3gf5 219 220 The Pembroke Mason Affair room was “ Where? ” “ Here — in my rooms. ” “ Do you think she'll come? hvd.hn3gf5 46 The Pembroke Mason Affair “ I thought I oughter come and tell all I know. ” “ What is it? hvd.hn3gf5 A Familiar Quotation 99 “ What is this? ” he asked finally. hvd.hn3gf5 A Flash of Lightning 25 “ Who's that? ” asked Craig quickly, his little eyes twinkling with sudden interest. hvd.hn3gf5 An'try the kitchen? hvd.hn3gf5 And how had it been so plainly imprinted upon the forehead of the dead man? hvd.hn3gf5 And that's what I told Mr. Floyd Graves. ” “ What did he say?
hvd.hn3gf5	And what did they mean?
hvd.hn3gf5	And what's the result?
hvd.hn3gf5	And who was the man who had inflicted the fatal blow?
hvd.hn3gf5	Are you certain that it was Mr. John Fairchild? ” “ Just as certain as I am that I am Amos Briggs"was the complacent reply.
hvd.hn3gf5	At all events I thought he was asleep and left the house without seeing him. ” “ You intended to speak to him?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Barnes, hat in hand, approached courteously, say- ing: “ Madame Theba?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Besides, who knew that Fairchild was really alive?
hvd.hn3gf5	Blackmail? ” At that moment he half turned and noticed the swaying of the portieres at the other side of the room.
hvd.hn3gf5	But I've come to one conclusion. ” “ What's that?
hvd.hn3gf5	But come, you have something else on your mind, have n't you? ” “ Yes, ” was the resolute reply.
hvd.hn3gf5	But do you think there was any one that wanted to be revenged on Mason?
hvd.hn3gf5	But has n't it occurred to you that the ex- planation — if there be one — would be very sim- ple?
hvd.hn3gf5	But sup- pose he should fail, as Henley had failed?
hvd.hn3gf5	But what brings you here?
hvd.hn3gf5	But what does he know about my feel- Marian Decides 181 ings?
hvd.hn3gf5	But what was it?
hvd.hn3gf5	But where does it come from?
hvd.hn3gf5	Ca n't you see that?
hvd.hn3gf5	Can I depend on you? ” “ Absolutely,"was the fervent reply.
hvd.hn3gf5	Clancy, who was at his heels, exclaimed, breathing heavily: “ Who would have dreamt that the old man had such strength?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Could it be that he was dead and that his death was being kept a secret for stock market reasons?
hvd.hn3gf5	Could you recognize him if you saw him again?
hvd.hn3gf5	Did he commit sui- cide?
hvd.hn3gf5	Did n't you find yourself in the house — accidentally — between midnight and two in the morning?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Did n't you go there after you left the club?
hvd.hn3gf5	Did you send it? ”.
hvd.hn3gf5	Do n't you know that it's all wrong to do that?
hvd.hn3gf5	Do you get me?
hvd.hn3gf5	Do you get me? ” “ I get you,"was the laconic reply.
hvd.hn3gf5	Do you get the idea? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hn3gf5	Do you know where he kept his personal effects? ” “ Yes, in a little walnut box.
hvd.hn3gf5	Do you think he'll be here this mornin'? ”"I have n't the slightest doubt of it,"was the 26 The Pembroke Mason Affair reply.
hvd.hn3gf5	Do you understand? ” There was a hot retort on the lips of the man with a “ system ” but it remained unspoken.
hvd.hn3gf5	Go on, what happened after that? ” “ Well, I went home, naturally.
hvd.hn3gf5	Had Pembroke Mason been of this type: How had he met his fate?
hvd.hn3gf5	Has anything happened?
hvd.hn3gf5	He lifted up that of John Fairchild to the light and said: “ Do you know that man?"
hvd.hn3gf5	He turned to the chief clerk, “ Samuel Brown, will you kindly take the stand?"
hvd.hn3gf5	He wants to help if he can, although it will deprive him of the vacation he had planned. ” “ A vacation? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gf5	How can they do such terrible things?
hvd.hn3gf5	How could they have come there?
hvd.hn3gf5	How dare you come in this house in such a disguise?
hvd.hn3gf5	How do you expect us to apprehend the criminal if you destroy the evidence?"
hvd.hn3gf5	How is that for history?"
hvd.hn3gf5	How would you feel under the same circumstances?
hvd.hn3gf5	I ask again what was your pow- wow about? ”.
hvd.hn3gf5	I asked him to let me argue the Midland and Western case. ” “ What did he say to that?
hvd.hn3gf5	I did n't ask any ques- tions. ” “ And you're sure you do n't know who he was? ” “ So help me God, I do n't! ” she cried with fervor.
hvd.hn3gf5	I s'pose you get me?
hvd.hn3gf5	I suppose he provided for you? ” For an instant the sparks threatened to fly from the bright eyes but she restrained herself.
hvd.hn3gf5	I suppose they've told you that 230 The Man in Black 231 VOT- the man in black has been arrested?
hvd.hn3gf5	I've already said that. ” “ But you quarreled?"
hvd.hn3gf5	If you do n't take advantage of the opportunity it will be your own fault. ” “ Will — will you save me? ” he quavered.
hvd.hn3gf5	In that brief space of time, 266 The Pembroke Mason Affair “ What do you mean? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hn3gf5	In that case who had been guilty of the double murder?
hvd.hn3gf5	Is it necessary? ” he asked, hesitatingly.
hvd.hn3gf5	Is that all you've got? ” “ Not all, ” responded Craig with unexpected crispness.
hvd.hn3gf5	Is there anything fur- ther you can think of — anything you wish? ” The young man looked about him in a hesitating way."
hvd.hn3gf5	Is there anything strange about that? ” Craig smiled craftily.
hvd.hn3gf5	It was gall and worm- wood, but what could I do?
hvd.hn3gf5	It was this way, sir, ” he began, “ you did n't ask me anything about him. ” “ What do you mean- did n't ask you about him?"
hvd.hn3gf5	It's nothing more or less than the old Indian sign. ” “ The Indian sign? ” “ Precisely.
hvd.hn3gf5	Might he not have thought that his turn would come next?
hvd.hn3gf5	Might it not be that the hiding- place of the confession could be located in this manner?
hvd.hn3gf5	Miles, if he should call? ”"Oh, yes, but if he should come it would be on important business, and, as you know, he has a latch key.
hvd.hn3gf5	Oh, why did I say the dreadful thing? ” The veteran put his arm about her shoul- ders.
hvd.hn3gf5	Presently he spoke to the detective with great earnestness: “ Barnes, ” he said, “ do you believe in the old theory that murder will out?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Query: why is it that the hands of fortune tellers are nearly always dirty and ill kept?
hvd.hn3gf5	Query: — why is it that houses in which fortune tellers make their abode are always the sort of places that have seen better days?
hvd.hn3gf5	She hurried over to his side November the Ninth “ Did he really do that?"
hvd.hn3gf5	She looked at him with avenging eyes: “ You know what I mean. ” “ What is it? ” he persisted with trembling lips.
hvd.hn3gf5	She took his hand: “ Walter, ” she said, “ can you, will you tell me all that took place on that — that night? ”.
hvd.hn3gf5	Suppose he knew of things that might injure the young man?
hvd.hn3gf5	Suppose the things that John Fairchild would tell her would help to incriminate Walter Miles?
hvd.hn3gf5	Suppose you should convict the wrong man? ” Jim Craig smiled, as one smiles at the innocence of very young children.
hvd.hn3gf5	Surely John Fairchild could not have been con- nected with that phase of the case?
hvd.hn3gf5	That CHAPTER XX AT BAY “ What are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hn3gf5	That's a puzzler, ai n't it?
hvd.hn3gf5	The Face in the Mirror 119 “ Do you believe in ghosts? ” she exclaimed sud- denly.
hvd.hn3gf5	The Irishman turned to his superior and cried: “ Are you hurt? ” Barnes moved his lips, but no sound issued from them.
hvd.hn3gf5	The butler halted for a moment and began hesitatingly: “ Have you an engagement with Mr. Fairchild?
hvd.hn3gf5	The palmist?
hvd.hn3gf5	The question is how can we help you?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Then his eyes narrowed ominously and he exclaimed thickly: “ What what are you saying? ” The Test 267 She discarded her professional air.
hvd.hn3gf5	This business has been entirely out of my line and I only undertook it as an act of charity. ” “ So you slipped a ten- spot to Madame Theba? ”.
hvd.hn3gf5	Was he brooding over that dramatic threat of vengeance?
hvd.hn3gf5	Was he pushed overboard?
hvd.hn3gf5	Was it from a sense of delicacy?
hvd.hn3gf5	Was it from fear?
hvd.hn3gf5	Was it in this house? ” He stared at her in a puzzled way.
hvd.hn3gf5	Was it nat- ural death, murder or suicide?
hvd.hn3gf5	Was it the man in black and where was he at the present time?
hvd.hn3gf5	Was it to remain forever as a barrier between her and the man she loved?
hvd.hn3gf5	We call it the Swastika — the best known of all ancient symbols. ” “ What does it mean? ” The Professor shook his white head.
hvd.hn3gf5	What I want to know is whether Walter is going to help us? ” 186 The Pembroke Mason Affair “ Indeed I am! ” cried Miles.
hvd.hn3gf5	What about you?
hvd.hn3gf5	What did the police do?
hvd.hn3gf5	What do you say? ” Barnes paused for a moment.
hvd.hn3gf5	What do you say?"
hvd.hn3gf5	What do you say?".
hvd.hn3gf5	What does anybody know?
hvd.hn3gf5	What have I done to deserve anything like was a this?"
hvd.hn3gf5	What is it you wish to know?
hvd.hn3gf5	What will people say? ” At the mention of the name she trembled slightly, but instantly recovered.
hvd.hn3gf5	What's going to come of it all anyhow? ” “ That's just what brought me — ” she began but he interrupted her in a nervous, irritable way.
hvd.hn3gf5	What's the matter with the police?
hvd.hn3gf5	When I was half way up the stair case I could hear their voices, as though they were having a dispute. ” “ Could you catch any of the words?
hvd.hn3gf5	Who could it be?
hvd.hn3gf5	Who was it?
hvd.hn3gf5	Why have you deserted me?
hvd.hn3gf5	Why have you tried to hide it? ” She gave a shudder as if she had felt a sudden chill.
hvd.hn3gf5	Why should he?
hvd.hn3gf5	Why should n't we learn something by tracing the lines in the palm of his hands?
hvd.hn3gf5	Why--"“ Never mind that, ” interrupted Craig irritably, “ tell us what happened?"
hvd.hn3gf5	Will you do it? ” The terror in the man's eyes partly died out and he murmured nervously."
hvd.hn3gf5	Will you do that? ” The name grated harshly on the official ear.
hvd.hn3gf5	Would he never be permitted to enjoy himself in peace and quiet?
hvd.hn3gf5	Yet could it be that Mason held secrets which Fairchild wished to have buried in the tomb?
hvd.hn3gf5	You do n't know of any one else, do you? ”"No,"was the thoughtful reply, “ unless you could count Walter Miles a member of the house- hold."
hvd.hn3gf5	You know that, Brown? ” The clerk bowed assent.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ A wig? ” “ Well, it was n't exactly a wig, but one of those coverings to give the impression of a bald head.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Am I likely to forget it? ” “ No, ” pursued the other, “ and that is why I was anxious to get you down here.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ And when he came here you did as you were told?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ And you?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Are you going to masquerade?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Are you hurt? ” he asked anxiously.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Are you tryin'to insult me?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ But did you see or hear anything out of the ordinary? ” She looked at Barnes but his eyes were on the ground.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ But surely you're not going to let Hart off scot- free?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ By the way, old man, ” said Graves with much friendliness, “ how would you like to go to my rooms and smoke a cigar and talk this matter over?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Ca n't you talk? ”.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Could this be used as a sign of revenge — could it be used, for instance, by a secret society?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Did you get a good look at him?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Did you know Pembroke Mason? ” “ Only by reputation. ” “ Do you mean to say that you never met him?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Did you know Pembroke Mason? ” “ Only by reputation. ” “ Do you mean to say that you never met him?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Did you see any one in the room besides Pem- broke Mason? ” “ No,"she answered decidedly.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Do you realize what you are saying?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Got up?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Have you talked with him?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Hello, is that Professor Darlington?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ How about this chap? ” he asked lightly.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ How can I say — yet?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ How did you know it was Fairchild? ” Bromley Barnes 39 and began to search for a card.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ How unlike him? ”"It's a little hard to explain, sir, unless you've lived with Mr. Mason.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I admire your spirit, but do you think it would be exactly right for you to call on him?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I did not- I swear that I did not. ” “ Do you know who did sent it? ” “ No, I never heard of it until this moment.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I did. ” “ About an important matter?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I hear that you were thinking of quitting the law?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I justa heard a shot! ” he cried, “ what'ees da trouble? ” Barnes ran out of the room and into the corridor, but no one was in sight.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I suppose, Captain, ” said the physician pleas- antly, “ you have n't any objection to my going? ” Craig smiled heavily.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ I was simply trying to explain the way my people felt to- ward him. ” “ Your people? ” interrogated Bromley Barnes.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Is that Miles — Walter Miles?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Not- not call on him? ”"No,"he answered with a smile that contained no mirth.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Now, Walter, tell me exactly why you visited Mason's house at that late hour?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Now, as a mat- ter of fact, did n't you go there very late?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Now, we're alone, ” he snapped, “ tell me about Madame Theba?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Now,"resumed Craig, “ is n't it a fact that you've had more than one dispute with Mason in the last few days?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ On the night of November the ninth?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ See here, ” he was saying to Miles, “ did a fel- low in a black suit call on Mr. Mason at his office on the day of the murder?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ So I see, but what significance does that give it?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ So you want my opinion of Craig?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Tell us what happened after you came down stairs? ” She looked at him a little wildly and gave an hys- terical laugh.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ That means that you are going to work for Walter? ” “ Most assuredly.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Then there is nothing more you can tell us?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ There is something else to tell,"he said, “ and I do not think you will reprove me for it. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ We have a witness who met you at the house that mornin'. ” “ Met me at the house? ” murmured the young man.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Well, I should say that I have discovered somethin'! ” “ What is it?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Well, what do you want?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Well, what happened after that? ” “ Nothing — nothing else happened."
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Well?

hvd.hn3gf5	“ What about it? ” The detective reached his decision at once.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What are you tryin'to do? ” he cried, pushing his jaw forward in a menacing manner.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What could have possibly passed between us? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What did Mr. Mason say? ” “ Well, sir, when I entered the room I found him studying the palm of his hand.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What did he say?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What do you know?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What do you make of it?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What do you mean? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What else did you hear? ” “ Oh, nothing, sir.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What followed? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What happened then?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What have you got? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What is that you want to tell me?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What is the matter? ” she asked wearily.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What is this?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What was it?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What's on your mind now?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What's that? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What's the matter? ” continued the man at the wash basin.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ What? ” he cried.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Where are we going? ” he ventured.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Where did you get him?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Where did you get it?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Where's Graves?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Where's your master? ” 270 The Pembroke Mason Affair The bent figure shook his head sorrowfully.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Who do you think it was? ” Her tortured face became grayish.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Who said I was in Washington that night? ” “ Briggs, the servant at our house, said he ad- mitted you."
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Why should n't I? ” demanded the other hotly.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Why — I guess nothing happened. ” “ Did n't you speak to your uncle at all?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Why, you doddering idiot, do n't you understand?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Wo n't younga'Merican man help me? ” “ Where do you want to go?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Wo n't younga'Merican man help me? ” “ Where do you want to go?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Would such a ring, if driven with sufficient force, leave it's mark on the victim's flesh? ” Darlington laughed hysterically.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Yes, sir, the very same. ”"Well, what happened?"
hvd.hn3gf5	“ Yes, ” he mused, “ the strangest part of it was that it was so well timed. ” “ Do n't you think this explains uncle's death?
hvd.hn3gf5	“ You a lawyer and asking a question like that? ”.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ You ai n't denyin'you was there, are you? ” Miles shook his head sadly.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ You are evidently in earnest? ” “ I was never more so.".
hvd.hn3gf5	“ You have the Indian sign there – is it not con- nected in some way with your life and your fate? ” He got up abruptly.
hvd.hn3gf5	“ You remember Madame Theba, do n't you?

hvd.hn1sse	A BRIGHT PARTICULAR STAR 141 What was it before?
hvd.hn1sse	A house, a fence, a barn, even a sign- board?
hvd.hn1sse	A man in love is a sorry spectacle! ” “ Is he?"
hvd.hn1sse	A text- book, a title, a will, a deed, a business letter?
hvd.hn1sse	Afterward I wanted them for him and for you, Sophy. ” “ For me?
hvd.hn1sse	Again I ask you, what are you doing here?
hvd.hn1sse	Ai n't you nevah had no relations to fight wid, ma'ams? ” We explained, regretfully, that we had n't.
hvd.hn1sse	Am I not also a good dog?"

hvd.hn1sse	And Daoud is highly ornamental. ” “ When is The Author coming back?
hvd.hn1sse	And after I have taken Hynds House, what of you?
hvd.hn1sse	And as she passed me by — for I was standing in the door — a fold slipped, and what do you think she was holding to her breast?
hvd.hn1sse	And did you dream that somebody called you — and held you — and would n't let you go? ” “ I never told you!"
hvd.hn1sse	And for goodness'sake what do you think that woman wore over it for a traveling- cloak?
hvd.hn1sse	And may I give you a cup of tea? ” “ And a dozen or so cookies, please.
hvd.hn1sse	And nothing is what Rich- ard and his heirs got. ” “ And was he really guilty?"
hvd.hn1sse	And she added blandly: “ Four o'clock, did you say?
hvd.hn1sse	And then he asked, abruptly: “ Has Jelnik called yet?
hvd.hn1sse	And were we — she hesitated — were we going to be regular communicants?
hvd.hn1sse	And what of Alicia?"
hvd.hn1sse	And where did you put it? ” I wondered.
hvd.hn1sse	And why have you come near Hynds House, at this hour of the day?
hvd.hn1sse	And will they?"
hvd.hn1sse	And with 130 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH unfeigned amazement: “ In the name of high heaven, what is Jelnik's son doing here? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1sse	And — I want you to be with me when I find the jewels. ” The jewels?
hvd.hn1sse	And — and was that all? ” “ All!
hvd.hn1sse	Anyhow, she preferred you to any of us, did n't she? ” “ Perhaps because she did n't know me. ” “ Have it so.
hvd.hn1sse	Are n't you rather overdoing things, Leetchy? ” “ No: I'm as sound as a trivet! ” said she.

hvd.hn1sse	But since when did Ariel take to tobacco?
hvd.hn1sse	But stay: surely your hair is arranged differently?
hvd.hn1sse	But what about The Author?
hvd.hn1sse	But what's the odds, when every male being in sight would rush to her aid with an umbrella?
hvd.hn1sse	But, good heavens, why?
hvd.hn1sse	By the way, did I merely imagine I heard a violin last night? ”.

hvd.hn1sse	Dear Miss Emmeline, would it be too much to ask you to keep this to yourself, for a while at least?
hvd.hn1sse	Dear and lovely as she is, she could n't make him happy, either- Do n't you think I'm a fool, Sophy?"
hvd.hn1sse	Did I know where he was?
hvd.hn1sse	Did I know who designed it?
hvd.hn1sse	Did he tell you anything about Richard? ” asked the judge.
hvd.hn1sse	Did n't I tell you you're not to think of what's happened?
hvd.hn1sse	Did n't one of the Dampiers mur- der somebody, or something like that?
hvd.hn1sse	Did n't we know?
hvd.hn1sse	Did you find me, over there? ” “ You were not hard to carry,"he said eva- sively.
hvd.hn1sse	Did you know that Queen Victoria, when she was a child, had the same virtuous inclination?
hvd.hn1sse	Do n't stay hyuh to- night! ” “ Why not?
hvd.hn1sse	Do n't you hear A BRIGHT PARTICULAR STAR 125 dear old Boston calling you, Sophy?
hvd.hn1sse	Do n't you understand?
hvd.hn1sse	Do you feel able to go on? ” “ Yes. ” “ Come, then,"and with that he stepped through the opening, and I after him.
hvd.hn1sse	Do you insist upon a sacrosanct meal hour?
hvd.hn1sse	Do you like par- rots?
hvd.hn1sse	Do you understand me, Miss Smith?

hvd.hn1sse	For heaven's sake, what is the matter? ” I shouted.
hvd.hn1sse	For instance, do you sleep with all your windows open?
hvd.hn1sse	Go away from Hyndsville, leaving this friendlier, pleasanter, happier life behind?
hvd.hn1sse	Had I not promised, smilingly indeed, but sincerely, to answer that call whenever and however it should come?

hvd.hn1sse	Have you Kiss'd the Bride, Sir?'
hvd.hn1sse	Have you ever in all your life seen a house that needed so much done to it as this house does?
hvd.hn1sse	Have you ever known an old lady who thought herself captivating?
hvd.hn1sse	Have you ever known any old man who did n't think he could be if he wished? ” “ Yes, ” shouted the doctor,"and no!
hvd.hn1sse	Have you lost your senses?
hvd.hn1sse	Having him here in Hynds House almost justifies turning the old place into a boarding- house, does n't it?
hvd.hn1sse	He added, thoughtfully, “ Curious notion; is n't it? ” “ Martha has plenty more, ” said the doctor, bluntly.
hvd.hn1sse	He was here, then? ” She yawned again.
hvd.hn1sse	Here in this house?
hvd.hn1sse	How about"The Effect of the Pre- Raphaelites upon the Feeble- minded'?
hvd.hn1sse	How could we two be real friends, when the balance between us was so uneven, so unequal?
hvd.hn1sse	How could you win my virgin heart, Yet leave that heart to break?
hvd.hn1sse	How do I know?
hvd.hn1sse	How do you like his secretary? ” “ Mr.

hvd.hn1sse	I asked; “ in God's name, what?"
hvd.hn1sse	I ca n't make up my mind! ” “ Do you want to go? ” “ Yes and no.
hvd.hn1sse	I have dug from the earth the leetle boy of stone — you know him, hein?
hvd.hn1sse	I have to live here all the rest of my life, have n't I? ” “ Not necessarily, ” replied The Author, arch- ing his eyebrows.
hvd.hn1sse	I never knew before that men had legs like that, did you, Sophy? ”.
hvd.hn1sse	I say, Miss Smith, let me keep this for a while, will you? ” “ Do, Sophy, let him keep it! ” pleaded Alicia.
hvd.hn1sse	I say, is Morenas going to do you, too? ”.
hvd.hn1sse	I say,'Who de name er Gawd in ol'Mis'Scarlett's pablor, when dey ai n't nobody in it?'
hvd.hn1sse	I ventured to put a part of the vagary to the acid test: “ Alicia, I was n't thrown out again, into water, was I? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1sse	I wish a black mustache went along with the cup and the house; do n't you?
hvd.hn1sse	I wonder why?"
hvd.hn1sse	I'm going to ask you a straight, man question; is that girl a- a flirt?
hvd.hn1sse	If I stay alive, will you marry me, Leetchy? ” “ If you do n't, I ca n't m- m- marry any.anybody at all! ” wailed Alicia.
hvd.hn1sse	If ever I do find them, which is highly im- probable, I may be tempted to make you an offer of exchange. ” “ You do n't want Hynds House?
hvd.hn1sse	If he did it, where did he hide the plunder?
hvd.hn1sse	If he knew that much, had n't he any heart?
hvd.hn1sse	In the meantime, what of me?"
hvd.hn1sse	Iron- skulled offspring of the union of a black mule and a pickax, cease to fly! ” “ What is the matter?
hvd.hn1sse	Is it such a small sacrifice to give you up, Sophy? ” “ It would appear so."
hvd.hn1sse	Is it the orders of you that I devastate those fowls, Mademoiselle? ” Schmetz was furiously angry, and small won- der.
hvd.hn1sse	Is n't it wonderful and impossible and exciting and delightful?
hvd.hn1sse	Is your stuff Madison Avenue or Grand Rapids?
hvd.hn1sse	It could n't have been Sophronisba her- self?

hvd.hn1sse	It was very thoughtful of that cat to have two black kittens ready for us, and very kind of you to let them stay with you until we came. ” “ I?

hvd.hn1sse	Let's see: her grandfather was a Dampier, was n't he?
hvd.hn1sse	Love her?
hvd.hn1sse	Maybe bumbye you and me make some Medicine? ” My lips curld somewhat.
hvd.hn1sse	Miss Smith, why do I find you here — alone?".
hvd.hn1sse	Most merciful God, how came he by that Paper if the Tale be untrue?
hvd.hn1sse	My dear Miss Hopkins, never, never let him hear you des- ignate him'boarder?
hvd.hn1sse	No?
hvd.hn1sse	Not one of whom would fail to remark, casually: “ Oh, did you see that Miss Smith with Doctor Geddes this morning?
hvd.hn1sse	Now then, what hare you to say?"
hvd.hn1sse	Now, am I a stranger? ” 6.
hvd.hn1sse	Now, are n't dreams absurd?
hvd.hn1sse	Now, as to science: what is your attitude toward evolu- tion?"
hvd.hn1sse	Now, my dears, was n't that an odd sort of dream?
hvd.hn1sse	Now, shall I leave you? ” “ No, stay, ” said I, flatly.
hvd.hn1sse	Now, shall you keep the lane closed, or shall you dismiss the injunc- tions? ” “ I shall have to consult Judge Gatchell."
hvd.hn1sse	Now, shall you keep the lane closed, or shall you dismiss the injunc- tions?"
hvd.hn1sse	Now, should n't Alicia and I have been happy?
hvd.hn1sse	Now, was not that remarkable? ” “ Very, ” said I, with dry lips.
hvd.hn1sse	Now, what do you say to marry- ing me? ” “ I say you had no such notion in your head the last time you and I talked together.
hvd.hn1sse	Oh, yes, another thing I want to ask you: what sort of perfume do you use, and where do you get it?"
hvd.hn1sse	Or does n't she, Johnson? ” The Author asked, ear- nestly.
hvd.hn1sse	Or is he coming back? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hn1sse	P. S. I hope it is really true that there is an Influence in Hynds House?
hvd.hn1sse	Perhaps after a while some of them will bow to us, or maybe even say,'How do you do?'
hvd.hn1sse	Poor dear little god, are n't you glad to get out of 50 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH that grave and come back to the sun?
hvd.hn1sse	Presently: “ Is it so hard to lose that which you never possessed?"
hvd.hn1sse	Refuse to let him go?
hvd.hn1sse	Remains: Who got them?
hvd.hn1sse	Richard's house?
hvd.hn1sse	Riedriech would regard you paternally, plac- idly, benevolently, through his large, brass- rimmed spectacles: “ So?
hvd.hn1sse	Shall I give her a stimulant, doctor? ” “ The patient's on the highroad to getting well, ” said the doctor.
hvd.hn1sse	She did n't want to stagger home and alarm the whole household unneces- sarily. ” “ Is this true? ” The Author asked me, rudely.
hvd.hn1sse	She may really care for another man. ” “ There is another man? ” “ There is always another man.
hvd.hn1sse	She raised her voice: “ Did you not see those signs?
hvd.hn1sse	Should you like to be mine, Sophronisba Two? ” The jump I gave threw Potty Black off my knees.
hvd.hn1sse	Should you mind if I kept my dog's place warm at your feet, Miss Smith?"
hvd.hn1sse	Should you think that accounted for his mama's presence, Sophy?
hvd.hn1sse	Sophy, are you capable of supporting a parrot?
hvd.hn1sse	Teller of tales, is n't it moon- stuff you're trying to spin? ” “ Who talks of a Watcher in the Dark? ” asked a pleasant voice.
hvd.hn1sse	Teller of tales, is n't it moon- stuff you're trying to spin? ” “ Who talks of a Watcher in the Dark? ” asked a pleasant voice.
hvd.hn1sse	That is so, hein? ” “ Yes! ” I promised.
hvd.hn1sse	That night went I to Shooba secretly, and said, “ Is thy Snake awake?
hvd.hn1sse	Then he murmured something that sounded like « not sure. ” “ Not sure? ” wept Alicia.
hvd.hn1sse	Then she looked at him with Irish eyes: “ Have you had your lunch, dear?"
hvd.hn1sse	Then you have experienced it, too? ” “ I have detected the perfume,"I admitted, “ but I have never seen anything.
hvd.hn1sse	These Southerners are easy to love, are n't they?
hvd.hn1sse	They cared for its his- tory and its hatreds not a fig: what has April to do with last November?
hvd.hn1sse	Tired! ” “ Go to bed and sleep it off. ” “ Did you have time to make out that grocery list?
hvd.hn1sse	To find the Hynds jewels, after a century?
hvd.hn1sse	To the minister, who bearded her for her soul's sake every now and then, she spoke in words brief and curt: “ You here again?
hvd.hn1sse	To what?
hvd.hn1sse	Wanted to see me, hey?
hvd.hn1sse	Was I, or was n't I, en- 328 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH gaged to a man who had never asked me to marry him?
hvd.hn1sse	Was it because you cared, Sophy? ” “ Yes, Mr. Jelnik: it was because I cared.
hvd.hn1sse	Was it not rather for me to ac- cept, meekly, the high gift that the gods in a sportive moment chose to toss to me?
hvd.hn1sse	Was it, perhaps, to forget such a one that he had exiled himself?
hvd.hn1sse	Was n't Nicholas Jelnik holding my hand?
hvd.hn1sse	Was n't that enough?
hvd.hn1sse	We could n't, for was n't our own house wait- ing for us?
hvd.hn1sse	We're all sorts and conditions of folks, are n't we, Sophy?
hvd.hn1sse	Well, supposing?
hvd.hn1sse	What are we quarreling about, Sophy? ”.
hvd.hn1sse	What are you do- ing here at this hour?"
hvd.hn1sse	What are you do- ing here, at this hour? ” I asked, stupidly.
hvd.hn1sse	What are you going to do about The Author, Sophy? ” “ What are you going to do about the lady you are really in love with? ” I countered.
hvd.hn1sse	What are you going to do about The Author, Sophy? ” “ What are you going to do about the lady you are really in love with? ” I countered.
hvd.hn1sse	What are you going to do about the lane behind Hynds House?
hvd.hn1sse	What are you going to do about the lane behind Hynds House?
hvd.hn1sse	What could any woman say in such circum- stances?
hvd.hn1sse	What do you get?"
hvd.hn1sse	What do you think of stewed rhubarb? ” I made a wry face.
hvd.hn1sse	What do you want to reduce for, anyhow?
hvd.hn1sse	What had he wanted to tell, as he lay there dying?
hvd.hn1sse	What have I to do with Hynds jewels? ” And then I stopped.
hvd.hn1sse	What have we here?"
hvd.hn1sse	What is home without the heathen?
hvd.hn1sse	What is the matter with this house? ” Again he looked around him, stealthily.
hvd.hn1sse	What is the matter?
hvd.hn1sse	What is wrong, Sophy?
hvd.hn1sse	What was it that really lay between those two brothers?
hvd.hn1sse	What's he after?
hvd.hn1sse	What's he here for?
hvd.hn1sse	What's on the carpet now? ” he greeted that lady, airily.
hvd.hn1sse	What's the matter? ” I asked, fearfully.
hvd.hn1sse	What, and my name Sophro- nisba?"
hvd.hn1sse	Whatever ailed the man?
hvd.hn1sse	When did it seize you? ” I demanded, suspiciously.
hvd.hn1sse	When he was coming back?
hvd.hn1sse	When we had walked a little farther: “ Does n't she know you care for her?"
hvd.hn1sse	Where did they go? ” “ That's what the unhappy people in this house asked a century ago, and there was no answer,"I remarked, soberly.
hvd.hn1sse	Who brought me here?
hvd.hn1sse	Who do you suppose had a mustache and drank out of that cup?
hvd.hn1sse	Who's the player, Miss Smith? ” “ I have n't the slightest idea.
hvd.hn1sse	Who, then, was I, a woman named Smith, to say nay to this miracu- lous possibility?
hvd.hn1sse	Whut yuh wake me up for, w'ite gal? ” Leering, he began with a gliding, stealthy movement to ad- vance.
hvd.hn1sse	Why and wherefore the mystery?
hvd.hn1sse	Why are n't you home and in bed?
hvd.hn1sse	Why are strangers necessary? ” “ For the same reason that you were."
hvd.hn1sse	Why are we quarreling?
hvd.hn1sse	Why did n't he consult older members GLAMOURY 115 of the community, who could furnish him with immensely interesting side- lights on the Hyndses?
hvd.hn1sse	Why did not presente en mere briste PEACOCKS AND IVORY 153 Why did you say my face was fair, And yet that face forsake?
hvd.hn1sse	Why did you promise love to me And not that promise keep?
hvd.hn1sse	Why did you swear mine eyes were bright, Yet leave those eyes to weep?
hvd.hn1sse	Why did you turn that coin when it meant Go,'and bid me, instead, Stay'?
hvd.hn1sse	Why do n't you talk?"
hvd.hn1sse	Why had he come to Hyndsville?
hvd.hn1sse	Why have you been weeping?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should n't I offer you my house?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should n't Nicholas go into partnership with him?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should n't Nicholas share everything the open- hearted, open- handed doctor had?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should n't she be taken with him?"
hvd.hn1sse	Why should she come here, make her way through those dreadful passages, save for that?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should you, or any other ordi- narily intelligent person, be guided by Gatch- ell? ”"By whom, then, shall I be guided?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should you, or any other ordi- narily intelligent person, be guided by Gatch- ell? ”"By whom, then, shall I be guided?
hvd.hn1sse	Why should you, or any other ordi- narily intelligent person, be guided by Gatch- ell?"
hvd.hn1sse	Why, then, should you com- plain? ” “ Oh, yes, I caught it! ” A horrible sneer twisted his countenance.
hvd.hn1sse	Why? ” I was beginning to get angry.
hvd.hn1sse	Why?"
hvd.hn1sse	Will you share them with me, Miss Smith?
hvd.hn1sse	Wire from Miss Smith to The Author: What is Art?
hvd.hn1sse	Would it make a dent in your armor of righteous meddling, if I were to remind you that you are seriously annoying Miss Smith?"
hvd.hn1sse	Would you mind telling me how I might become such an accomplished forgetter? ” “ Why, there's nothing easier!
hvd.hn1sse	Yet if he did n't do it himself what was he trying to tell when death cut off his wind?
hvd.hn1sse	You soothe me like a cool hand on a hot forehead. ” “ Restless?
hvd.hn1sse	You were by way of advising me to marry The Author, were you not? ” His hands on the arms of the wicker chair clenched.
hvd.hn1sse	You were sev- eral classes ahead of me in school, do n't you re- member?
hvd.hn1sse	You wo n't take Hynds House? ” “ I do n't want Hynds House.
hvd.hn1sse	You would n't think an old soul of 53 54 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH almost a hundred could find very much chance to brew mischief, would you?

hvd.hn1sse	You're rather glad to see your friends, are n't you? ” the secretary said in his pleasant voice.

hvd.hn1sse	— tell us things first- hand, so to speak?
hvd.hn1sse	— you?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Ai n't it the truth, though? ” hissed The Au- thor, with fury.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Am I a type, Woman- in- the- Woods? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sse	“ And do you agree to stick it out, you and I shoulder to shoulder, town or no town, ha'nts or no ha'nts; and win out? ” 66 Yes! ” said I.
hvd.hn1sse	“ And is it a sign of advancing age and mental decrepitude not to admire this fel- low?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ And now that you have found him,"said Mr. Jelnik, “ had n't you better let me help you set him up?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ And now, may I ask you one or two plain questions, please? ” “ I think you may."
hvd.hn1sse	“ And now,"he asked, “ are you strong enough to come with me? ” I gathered the living spirit within me and looked him in his eyes.
hvd.hn1sse	“ And we're the best of all stimulants, are n't we, Sophy?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Answer my question, please: Do you imagine you love him, Sophy? ”.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Are n't you forgetting your profession? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Are n't you rather forgetting the Watcher in the Dark?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Because I knew that Mr. Jelnik needed me. ” “ Even in the bowels of the earth?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Because we are going to be real friends, you and I; are we not?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Boarding- house?
hvd.hn1sse	“ But The Jinnee? ” “ The Jinnee did exactly what a good Jinnee always does, his duty.
hvd.hn1sse	“ But how- how — why did she come here?
hvd.hn1sse	“ But we're good friends; are n't we, Sophy?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ But where shall I begin now? ” he wondered.
hvd.hn1sse	“ But why, may I ask, did you choose such'102 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH a situation for the statue?
hvd.hn1sse	“ By whom, then, shall I be guided?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Comes again?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Could we have it in your delightful library? ” she wondered.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Did n't I tell you she d had a bad time and was n't herself?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Did n't you have a nice time? ” “ Oh, I suppose so!
hvd.hn1sse	“ Did you hear it, too? ” he whispered.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do n't you?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do you know what they're saying in Hyndsville now?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do you know,"he asked, “ if that man Jelnik is coming to- night?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do you know,"— The Author was plainly pleased — “ that that is one of the very nicest things that's ever been said to me?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do you like a pipe? ” “ It always makes me sick.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do you think you are able to walk now?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Do you use pillows? ”.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Exactly: where did I put it?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ For us? ” breathed Alicia.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Good God, do n't you understand that I love you?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ How much did you say was in the bank?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ How old should you imagine me?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Hynds House, ” I said, “ is costing me a steep and bitter price, Mr. Jelnik! ” “ Do I not also pay? ” he asked fiercely.
hvd.hn1sse	“ I think you are, too! ” I told The Author- “ bursting into people's houses like an East- Side 218 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH withdraw?

hvd.hn1sse	“ Is it?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Is n't she? ” wondered the doctor.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Is that so? ” The secretary stopped; and his head went up and his nose wrinkled.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Jelnik?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Joke?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Joke? ” The doctor stared up at her.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Lunch? ” He looked bewildered.

hvd.hn1sse	“ Me?
hvd.hn1sse	“ My dear girl, do n't you realize that this thing is n't all beer and skittles?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ No?
hvd.hn1sse	“ No?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Now will you get those clothes, Sophy Smith?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Of course. ” “ You inherited this property from an old aunt, I believe? ” “ She was n't my aunt, really.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Oh, Sophy! ” wailed Alicia, “ whatever is the matter with us, anyhow?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Oh, is that you, at last, Sophy? ” And turning a corner of the gray cottage, Alicia, Doctor Geddes, and The Author confronted us.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Oh, who could have been so stupid and so cruel as to hide away something so lovely?
hvd.hn1sse	“ One of my little granddaughters, taken to Saint Polycarp's by her mother, asked,'Mamma, who is that big woman up there with the pick- axe?'
hvd.hn1sse	“ Shall I bind your hand for you?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Shall you go on with the search? ” I ventured presently.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Shall you, Richard?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Should n't you? ” she wondered.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Something over the hills and far away?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Soothing syrup? ” “ Long walks! ” snarled The Author.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophronisba Two, ” he asked, we being alone in the library, “ what have I done to offend Alicia? ” “ Is Alicia offended?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophronisba Two, ” he asked, we being alone in the library, “ what have I done to offend Alicia? ” “ Is Alicia offended?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophy! ” gulped the doctor, “ oh, deuce take you, Sophronisba Two, what do you mean by scaring honest folks half out of their wits?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophy, Peacocks and Ivory is a very wonder- ful person, is n't he? ” hesitated Alicia, after a long pause.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophy, is it — Jelnik? ” My heart stood still.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophy, ” Miss Emmeline said, smiling, “ I do n't see anything left for me to do but come back to Hyndsville, do you? ” “ No, I do n't.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophy, ” he said, huskily, “ what does she see in me?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Sophy, ” said she, some time later, “ is n't it just possible you misunderstood Mr. Jelnik?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Suppose you waive criticism and look after 316 THE GREATEST GIFT 319 “ Are you trying to rival the Seven Sleepers?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Temper?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Was there a Hynds, woman named Helen?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Well, and what did you do? ” I asked, curi- 28 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH ously.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Well, what do folks say?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Well? ” he asked, indifferently.
hvd.hn1sse	“ What are you doing here, if you please?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ What are you doing here? ” he demanded, roughly.
hvd.hn1sse	“ What do I look like, then? ” He sat on the edge of a table and cuddled a bony knee.
hvd.hn1sse	“ What do you propose to do?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ What do you want to know for? ” 228 A WOMAN NAMED SMITH friends with you — better friends than ever,"I told him.
hvd.hn1sse	“ What have you found? ” he asked, in a de- lightful voice.
hvd.hn1sse	“ What was Johnson talking to you about, that you both looked so earnest? ” Mr. Jelnik wanted to know presently.
hvd.hn1sse	“ What was de text to- day, Miss Sophy?
hvd.hn1sse	“ What's his game, anyhow?
hvd.hn1sse	“ What, man, you too?
hvd.hn1sse	“ What, ” says he, “ a Hynds woman paint- ing of strange folks their faces?

hvd.hn1sse	“ Who THE HYNDSES OF HYNDS HOUSE 71 would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? ”.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Who is it?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Who shot off that rooster?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ Who, me? ” cried the old man, with horror.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Whut yuh doin'hyuh, w'ite lady? ” he asked in a thick voice, and grinned.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Why did the sahiba follow when I showed her a broken coin? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Why do n't you interview Judge Gatchell? ” PEACOCKS AND IVORY 155 “ I did.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Why should you?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Why wo n't you marry the other man, Sophy? ” “ Because of a dream I dreamed, when I was sick,"I said noncommittally.
hvd.hn1sse	“ Writing another paper on'The Ironic Note in Chivalry'?
hvd.hn1sse	“ Yessum, dat's it. ” “ Had either the Doctor or the foreigner any real claim or right to this property, do you know?"
hvd.hn1sse	“ You doubt this?

hvd.32044086882354	96 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Perhaps you can tell this gentleman where Mr. Lauriston is, Mr. Rubinstein? ” she said.
hvd.32044086882354	Again — how much do you know in this matter? ” “ Enough to make it worth your while to negotiate with me, ” answered Yada.
hvd.32044086882354	Ai n’t that having a mind?
hvd.32044086882354	Am I suspected?
hvd.32044086882354	Am I – in some way or other — in custody? ” Ayscough laughed quietly, wagging his head.
hvd.32044086882354	And I believe you had resided with him for some years before that? ” “ Ever since I was a little girl, ” admitted Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	And I ca n’t think what ’s happened — it's all so unlike his habits. ” “ He did n’t tell you where he was going? ” asked Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	And I may take it that you gradually got a good deal of knowledge about the articles with which your grand- father had to deal?
hvd.32044086882354	And did n’t we find that door open?
hvd.32044086882354	And here I am| And now — have you heard anything of my brother Stephen more than what's in the papers?
hvd.32044086882354	And if by hand — who delivered it? ” “ You ’re a cute ’ un, you are! ” observed Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	And now the question was — who was that man?
hvd.32044086882354	And now then, gentlemen, what does all this mean?
hvd.32044086882354	And now — how much was Chen Li going to pay for silence?
hvd.32044086882354	And so — what is it? ” “ How much money have you left? ” she asked softly.
hvd.32044086882354	And so — what is it? ” “ How much money have you left? ” she asked softly.
hvd.32044086882354	And the question now is — ought we not to tell all this to the police, at once?
hvd.32044086882354	And there! — there you will find Chang Li. ” “ You ’ve seen him there? ” demanded Levendale.
hvd.32044086882354	And who is this man Purvis — and what's he to do with it?
hvd.32044086882354	And — he was carrying that book in his hand! ” “ You ’re sure it was that book? ” asked Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	And — incidentally — with diamonds? ” MR. STUYWESANT GUYLER 151 Zillah started and glanced at Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	And — sure l ’ ’ “ Is there anything else you can tell us? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	And — there, now, what did I tell you?
hvd.32044086882354	And — what possible explanation can there be? ” “ You say you ’ve seen those marks, ” said Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	And — who is this mysterious man who dropped the studs — valuable things, with a special device on them?
hvd.32044086882354	And — yesterday — your expected money not having arrived, you were obliged to visit the pawnshop again?
hvd.32044086882354	Are you going to ring? ” Melky pointed along the front of the wall.
hvd.32044086882354	Ask him if he'll speak to me? ” Lauriston caught up the stranger as he set foot on the steps leading to the hotel door.
hvd.32044086882354	Ayscough?
hvd.32044086882354	Business is business, ai n’t it? ” “ All right! ” agreed Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	But I ’ve not told her what I can tell you, Mr. Ayscough. ” “ And — what's that? ” enquired the detective.
hvd.32044086882354	But before I am much across Sussex Square, I stop — sudden, like that For what?
hvd.32044086882354	But how could those marks correspond with the marks in his rings? ” “ I tell you it is so! ” answered Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	But these marks — isn’t that a curious coincidence, now, when you come to think of it? ” “ Not a bit of it! ” replied Mr. Killick.
hvd.32044086882354	But what man would have a latch- key to that but Levendale himself?
hvd.32044086882354	But where was his proof of that?
hvd.32044086882354	But — had it? ” “ I had n’t thought of diamonds, but I certainly had of South Africa, ” admitted Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	But — what is this?
hvd.32044086882354	But — where ’s the girl — the grand- daugh- ter?
hvd.32044086882354	But, ” continued Grayson, glancing at Purdie, “ it ’s still odd – for do you see, sir, where that wire has been sent from?
hvd.32044086882354	Can nothing be done? ” But Ayscough only shook his head.
hvd.32044086882354	Can — can you lend me a few pounds? ” The girl picked up the watch again, and again examined it.
hvd.32044086882354	Come on 1—what about it!—and its owner? ” “ What is this? ’ ’ demanded the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	Come on 1—what about it!—and its owner? ” “ What is this? ’ ’ demanded the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	Did I understand you to say these two were medical students at University College? ” “ So Mr. Penniket said, ” replied Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Did you read his name in the paper's ac- count of that inquest? ” The American glanced at Lauriston with some curios- ity.
hvd.32044086882354	Did your brother tell you that this dia- mond was his own, sole property? ” “ He did, sir! ” answered the farmer.
hvd.32044086882354	Did- n’t I say we ’d hear more of it? ” Lauriston pulled out the Times and indicated the Per- sonal Column.
hvd.32044086882354	Do n’t I always say you ’re the smartest business woman in all Paddington?
hvd.32044086882354	Do n’t go — take my tip! ” “ How do you know where I ’m going? ” demanded Yada.
hvd.32044086882354	Do n’t it all come out clear to you?—if I find the right man, then there ai n't no more suspicion attaching to this young chap, ai n't it?
hvd.32044086882354	Do you think it's anything to do with our business? ” “ Ca n't say, ” answered Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	Do you want to earn a fiver — comfortable? ” MRS. GOLDMARK ’S EATING- HOUSE 23 “ I should be very glad, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Eh? ” “ My rings have been in that trunk for two or three years, ” asserted Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Eh?—hasn’t it? ” “ What, then? ” asked the detective dubiously.
hvd.32044086882354	Eh?—hasn’t it? ” “ What, then? ” asked the detective dubiously.
hvd.32044086882354	Evidently, he was not to escape surveillance; the official eye was on him Supposing, before the day was out, the official hand was on him, too?
hvd.32044086882354	Faithfully, ‘ ‘ STEPHEN PURVIS. ” “ November 15th? ” remarked Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	For God's sake, where's my diamond? ” “ Now, I was quick to think.

hvd.32044086882354	Goldmark, ” he said, “ did you know the man who opened the door? ” “ Not from another! ” replied Mrs. Goldmark.
hvd.32044086882354	Goodyer, is n’t it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	Has it anything to do with the death of this next door man, Parslett, last night?
hvd.32044086882354	Has that disappearance anything to do with Mul- tenius's death?
hvd.32044086882354	Have n’t you thought of that? ” “ Often l ’ ’ answered Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Have you had any luck? ” “ I ’ve sold two stories, ” answered Lauriston, who by that time was feeling as if the girl was an old friend.
hvd.32044086882354	Have you seen anybody? ” “ Not a soul! ” answered Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Have you seen anything of it? ” “ Nothing! ” answered Zillah with certainty.
hvd.32044086882354	He ai n’t no lit’ry powers, d'you see?
hvd.32044086882354	He did n’t know who the other fellows were, neither. ” “ You ’ve never seen him since? ” suggested Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	He thinks Stephen ’s been murdered l ’ ’ “ On what grounds? ” asked the solicitor.
hvd.32044086882354	He ’d no trouble of any sort, had he? ” “ He seemed a bit upset, once or twice, yesterday — and the night before, ” said the butler.
hvd.32044086882354	He ’s a lawyer chap, what the police gets when there ’s a case o ’ this sort, to ask questions of the witnesses, d'ye see?
hvd.32044086882354	He's gone to South Africa. ” “ What to do there?'
hvd.32044086882354	How could it have come here? ” Melky took the old volume out of Lauriston ’s hands, and put it away in a corner cupboard.
hvd.32044086882354	However, we can only wait — I believe Miss Ben- nett sent for you, Mr. Purdie? ” “ Yes, ” said Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	I am sure it was the book described here. ” “ And — he went in the direction of the pawnshop? ” said Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	I do n’t want to suggest any- thing — but — you understand? ” “ I understand, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	I hastily examined him — and found that my first impression was utterly wrong. ” “ What did you think — then? ” enquired the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	I know all about you — you’re the friend that Lauriston asked for a bit of help to see him through, like — ain’t it?
hvd.32044086882354	I may call again, may n't I? ” “ Do! ” she said, giving him her hand.
hvd.32044086882354	I ’ll follow you. ” “ What new game's this? ” asked Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	I ’ve my own ideas about this here business — wait till I put my hand on somebody, see?
hvd.32044086882354	If you should hear anything of this Chang Li, you ’ll communicate with us, Mr. Yada? ” º The Japanese smiled — openly.
hvd.32044086882354	In the meantime — I want to know what you ’re going to do about Mr. Lauriston?

hvd.32044086882354	Is he one of you? ” “ Oh, yes! ” answered one of the chess- players.
hvd.32044086882354	Is he still there? ” 94 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Strikes me you ai n’t up to your job! ” remarked Melky, coolly.
hvd.32044086882354	Is it a day — or days? ” One of the chess- players lifted a stolid face.
hvd.32044086882354	Is it far into that country, or where is it? ” “ Not far across the Border, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Is n’t it? ” “ What do you mean? ” demanded Lauriston, flushing scarlet.
hvd.32044086882354	Is n’t it? ” “ What do you mean? ” demanded Lauriston, flushing scarlet.
hvd.32044086882354	Is that clear, Mr. Purdie? ” 105 I06 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Quite l ’ ’ answered Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	It's getting a nicer tangle than ever! ” “ What's going to be done? ” enquired the solicitor.
hvd.32044086882354	Just a bit of a de- scription, like? ” “ Sure! ” answered the American.
hvd.32044086882354	Just so!—now, why did you think you could do nothing for him? ” “ I will tell you — in plain words, ” answered Dr. Mirandolet.
hvd.32044086882354	Lauriston knows where it is. ” “ What ’s on? ” asked Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Lauriston, ” she said in a half whisper, “ when do you think you ’ll be able to let me have a bit of money?

hvd.32044086882354	Looks strange, now, does n’t it, Mr. Purdie? ” “ I do n’t know Mr. Levendale well enough to say, ” replied Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	MELKY INTERVENES 83 And you do n’t know how many there were — nor how many there should be there, now?
hvd.32044086882354	Mister!—will you put your trust and confidence in me, and do what I tell you?
hvd.32044086882354	Molteno Lodge, Maida Wale?
hvd.32044086882354	More mystery! — ai n’t I full of it already?
hvd.32044086882354	Mr. Daniel Multenius, the jeweller and pawn- broker, of Praed Street — perhaps you know him, sir? ” “ Not at all! ” answered Levendale.
hvd.32044086882354	Mr. Guyler! ” “ Sir? ” answered the American.
hvd.32044086882354	Mrs. Goldmark has seen somebody l ’ ’ “ Who? ” demanded Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Multenius? ” wº The man stared, craned his neck to glance in the direction which Lauriston's shaking finger indicated, and then started forward.
hvd.32044086882354	My grandfather had taken it out of the front window, so that he could polish the rings. ” “ Do you know how many rings it contained? ” “ No.
hvd.32044086882354	Now then — who'd left it there? ” Another official had come up to the group — one of the men who had questioned Lauriston the night before.
hvd.32044086882354	Now who's the man who lost one in this here parlour — right there! — and the other in Mrs. Goldmark's restaurant?
hvd.32044086882354	Now — did you and he arrange anything about communicating with each other? ’ ’ “ Yes, ” replied Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Now — have any of you the least idea who ’s got the diamond and my money?
hvd.32044086882354	Now, between you and me, mister, what did she lend you on that bit o ’ stuff? ” “ Three pounds fifteen, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Now, come, Mr. Pil- mansey, is he here? ” The elder Pilmansey shook his head — but the shake was more one of doubt than of denial.
hvd.32044086882354	Now, if Levendale hears that Chen Li's lying dead in our mor- tuary — what?
hvd.32044086882354	Now, if he ’d only ha ” shown'em to me, first, Zillah — see? ” “ Do go, Melky 1 ’ ’ urged Zillah tearfully.
hvd.32044086882354	Now, what do you want to see this doctor for? ” he asked as they halted by Dr. Mirandolet's door.
hvd.32044086882354	Now, ” he continued, turning to the three Chinese, “ is one of you gentlemen Mr. Chang Li? ” “ No l ’ ’ replied one of the chess- players.
hvd.32044086882354	Of course, he's absolutely innocent. ” “ Has he been arrested? ” asked Elsie, almost eagerly.
hvd.32044086882354	Of course, there ai n’t no need to tell the police precisely where he has gone — what? ” “ Not a bit! ” said Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	Oh, I ’ll talk to'em all right! ” “ What ’re you getting at, all the same? ” asked the de- tective.
hvd.32044086882354	Oh, yes! ” “ Has he been in again? ” asked Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	Oh, yes! ” “ You ’re sure it was that man, Mrs. Goldmark? ” en- quired Melky, anxiously.
hvd.32044086882354	Or, had Mr. Multenius two callers here during your ab- sence, Miss Wildrose?
hvd.32044086882354	Others are not very valuable. ” “ Now what do you mean by that word valuable?
hvd.32044086882354	Perhaps you ’ve never had occasion to go to a pawnbroker before?
hvd.32044086882354	Plain l ’ ’ “ Well — and what was he doing? ” asked Purdie, de- sirous of getting at facts.
hvd.32044086882354	Poison you while they look at you! ” “ Bit cunning and artful about it, mister? ” suggested Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Recognized him, as a matter of fact, by his be- ing in possession of those studs. ” “ And who was he? ’ ’ asked Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	Say!—have you got any idea that this mystery of yours is at all connected with South Africa?
hvd.32044086882354	See that man there, a- talking to the detectives?—him with the gold nippers on his blooming sharp nose?
hvd.32044086882354	See? ” 137 138 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Are you certain of it — yourself? ” demanded Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	See? ” 137 138 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Are you certain of it — yourself? ” demanded Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	See? ” Melky murmured that Mr. Ayscough was a cute'un, and relapsed into thought until the train pulled up at Praed Street.
hvd.32044086882354	See? ” Yada looked round, doubtfully.
hvd.32044086882354	She ’s the sort we can discuss business with, eh? ” “ My cousin Zillah Wildrose, mister, ” answered Melky, solemnly, “ is one of the best!
hvd.32044086882354	Smell it? ” But Lauriston was more eyes than nose just then.
hvd.32044086882354	So we ’ll say ten pound — what?
hvd.32044086882354	So we ’re with you in that matter, ai n’t we, Zillah? ” “ Mr.
hvd.32044086882354	So- can you tell us anything? ” “ I can tell you all I know myself, ” replied John Pur- vis, with a solemn shake of his head.
hvd.32044086882354	Stand out for a bit more — especially from anybody like my cousin Melky. ” “ Is Melky a keen one, then? ” enquired Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	THE BACK DOOR 95 “ What are you going to do then, Melky? ” she de- manded.
hvd.32044086882354	THE JEW AND THE JAP 307 “ What are you after? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	THE MORTUARY 245 “ No- and what might Mr. Guyler's theory be, now Mr. Lauriston? ” enquired the detective.
hvd.32044086882354	Take a seat — you want to tell us something?
hvd.32044086882354	That ’s in Gower Street, ai n’t it?
hvd.32044086882354	That'll be the quar ter's rent, then, for this furnished house, Mr. Penniket? ’ “ Evidently l ’ ’ agreed the solicitor.
hvd.32044086882354	That's it, ai n’t it, now?
hvd.32044086882354	That's my theory, Mr. Purdie. ” “ Then — the only question now is who's the man? ” suggested Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	The fact is, sir, Mr. Levendale ’s miss- ing! ” “ Missing? ” exclaimed Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	There ai n’t nothing wonderful in all that to me and my cousin Zillah there!—we've been brought up in the trade, d'ye see?
hvd.32044086882354	There ai n’t to be a word said'If any o ’ them police come round here, ask- ing about him, you do n’t know nothing — see?
hvd.32044086882354	There was a horror in the garden, in that bright moon- ight — what might there not be in that black, silent house?
hvd.32044086882354	There's more reasons than one why we should do that, my man! ” “ What ’re you talking about, John? ” demanded Laur- iston.
hvd.32044086882354	They are all old rings. ” “ But — valuable? ” suggested Mr. Parminter.
hvd.32044086882354	They were always left like that?
hvd.32044086882354	They ’re friends — not brothers, so they told us. ” “ When did you see them last? ” asked Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	Those rings, now? ” Zillah suddenly remembered all that Ayscough had told her that evening.
hvd.32044086882354	Three good, saleable items, I think — yes? ” Purdie watched carefully for some sign of greed or avarice in the informer's wily countenance.
hvd.32044086882354	Um'you ’re dead certain, Mrs. Goldmark, about the other man? ” “ As that I tell you this, ” insisted Mrs. Goldmark.
hvd.32044086882354	Was it brown- papered, now, when you left it? ” It seemed to Lauriston that Levendale was somewhat taken aback.
hvd.32044086882354	Was it sent by post — or was it delivered by hand?
hvd.32044086882354	Well!—this is a go! ” “ What's to be done? ” asked Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Were you — hard up — when you came round the other night? ” “ Hard up ’s a mild term, ” replied Lauriston, frankly.
hvd.32044086882354	What about that book, now, Mr. Ayscough?
hvd.32044086882354	What about that theory? ” “ Possible! ” muttered Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	What are you doing here? ” she went on hurriedly, turning to Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	What d'ye say to it? ” “ I would n’t mind earning five pounds at that, ” answered Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	What d'you say, now, Mr. Purdie? ’ ” “ Yes, ” agreed Purdie, after a moment's further thought.
hvd.32044086882354	What do you con- jecture did go before that? ” Mr. Killick thumped his stout stick on the floor.
hvd.32044086882354	What do you know of Mr. Levendale?
hvd.32044086882354	What do you know, now, about this here Levendale? ” “ Not much, ” replied Guyler.
hvd.32044086882354	What do you want me to do? ” Melky pulled out a handsome gold watch and con- sulted it.
hvd.32044086882354	What do you want? ” asked Chang Li.
hvd.32044086882354	What does Guyler think? ” “ Well, of course, Guyler does n’t know yet about the Chinese development, ” said Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	What have you lived on, then? ” “ I had money of my own, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	What is it?
hvd.32044086882354	What is it? ” The butler shook his head.
hvd.32044086882354	What of it? ” The girl bent nearer to him.
hvd.32044086882354	What somebody? ” “ The man that came to her restaurant, ” replied Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	What was he, Lauriston, to urge against the acceptance of such a theory?
hvd.32044086882354	What would you have thought if you ’d found me in the situation and under the circumstances in which I found you?
hvd.32044086882354	What you got to tell, Zillah?—an- other development? ” 257 258 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Mrs.
hvd.32044086882354	What ’s it all about? ” “ Oh, find him l ’ ” she exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882354	What ’s known about that book at the shop? ” he asked, glancing at Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	What's it all about, and why has he gone back to Peebles?
hvd.32044086882354	Where are we going? ” But Zillah held on determinedly, her eyes fixed ahead.
hvd.32044086882354	Where did your brother leave you — at Plymouth? ” “ First thing next morning, ” said John Purvis.
hvd.32044086882354	Where is Lauriston?
hvd.32044086882354	Where's this house, do you say?
hvd.32044086882354	Which is the one who has lost eighty thousand pounds in bank- notes?
hvd.32044086882354	Which of these gentlemen is? ” Levendale made a half impatient gesture towards Stephen Purvis, who nodded at Yada but remained silent.
hvd.32044086882354	Why ai n't Mr. Lev- endale brought here?
hvd.32044086882354	Why ai n’t that matter brought up?
hvd.32044086882354	Why do you ask? ” “ It ’s a very fine- bound book, ” remarked Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Why has Levendale utterly disap- peared?
hvd.32044086882354	Why not call again — in broad daylight? ” “ Shucks! ” said Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	Why not? ” “ Very good, ” said Mr. Penniket.
hvd.32044086882354	Will they be long? ” “ They ’ll be here within twenty minutes, ” answered Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	Write a bit, what?
hvd.32044086882354	Writing people seldom are. ” “ I suppose you are? ” suggested Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	Yet, what other course was open if he wished to avoid arrest?
hvd.32044086882354	You ai n’t seen him since he walked out o ’ that court with me — see?
hvd.32044086882354	You did n’t hear anything from Pars- lett as to where the money was coming from? ” “ Not one syllable! ” answered Goodyer.
hvd.32044086882354	You know me, Mr. Ayscough? ” Ayscough looked sharply at his questioner.
hvd.32044086882354	You know the name of this Stephen Purvis that ’s been mentioned as having been about here?
hvd.32044086882354	You think to alarm me!—what do you Want? ” “ Nothing unreasonable, mister, ” answered Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	You understand, George? ” George answered that he understood very well, and Ayscough presently left him.
hvd.32044086882354	You want me? ” 302 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ How long have you been here? ” demanded the ques- tioner.
hvd.32044086882354	You want me? ” 302 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ How long have you been here? ” demanded the ques- tioner.
hvd.32044086882354	You want money, eh? ” “ Make it a hundred quid, mister, ” said Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	You want to talk to me? ” Ayscough sat down and unbuttoned his overcoat.
hvd.32044086882354	You wanted my advice?
hvd.32044086882354	You wo n’t think me inquisitive if I ask you some- thing?
hvd.32044086882354	You ’ll have no objection to going there tomorrow? ” “ Not at all! ” replied Guyler, cheerfully.
hvd.32044086882354	You ’re not used to pledging things, are you? ” “ No, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	You're not mistaking me for somebody else? ” Zillah was already flushed with embarrassment.
hvd.32044086882354	You've friends in London, of course? ” “ No- none, ’ ’ replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	is you — how do you do?
hvd.32044086882354	on the bit o ’ business, wo n’t you, mister?
hvd.32044086882354	r “ What makes you think of South Africa — and of diamonds? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882354	you think that, do you? ” said Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	— why, what are you to think?
hvd.32044086882354	‘ Where's your partner?'
hvd.32044086882354	“ A stranger to me! ” “ Do you know Mr. Levendale — by sight? ” asked Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	“ About his work — writing. ” “ Did he tell you he was very hard up? ” “ I knew that l ” said Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ About those rings? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ About — pawnbroking? ” “ No! ” retored Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Ai n’t I one o ’ the landlords of this desirable bit o ’ property?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Alone? ” asked Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ And how long had you been like that? ” “ Two or three days — more or less, ” answered Lauris- ton.
hvd.32044086882354	“ And how would I do that? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ And — if that cheque does n’t arrive? ” she suggested.
hvd.32044086882354	“ And — once inside — uncommon private, no doubtl What do you say, Mr. Ayscough? ’ ” The detective was examining the gate.
hvd.32044086882354	“ And — the cause of death? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	“ And — which of'em, now, do you consider the cleverest of the lot — them as you say you ’ve lived amongst, now?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Any- thing to do with the matter in hand? ” “ You ’ll see in a minute, ” replied Melky as he rang the bell.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Anything else? ” he added, glancing at Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Anything wrong, mister? ’ ’ asked the driver.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Are there poisons, the nature of which you are unacquainted with? ” “ Yes! ” answered the specialist frankly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Are these the rings you took to the pawnshop? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Are they of the same sort, the same class, of rings as those in the tray? ’ ’ “ Yes, ” admitted Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Are you two young fellows the sons of old friends of mine at Peebles? ” “ We are, sir, ” answered Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	“ But why? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ But — how could I get away? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ But — why should that news fetch him out? ” “ Do n’t know! ” replied Ayscough, almost unconcern- edly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ By his coming to the shop — on business. ” “ To pawn his watch, I believe? ”& 4 Yes.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Can you come here at once and ask for me?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Can you say what ’s known at your hospital? ” “ Very little, ” replied the house- surgeon.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Copper? ” exclaimed Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Could I ha ” done better for him than to give him the advice I did?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Could you describe this here Purvis, now?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Could you have recognized any of the rings in that tray? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ D'ye see this? ” He pointed to an adver- tisement in his own paper, which he had marked with blue pencil.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Did he mention that?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Did you see anybody leaving the place when you entered? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Did you see this tray lying in the parlour in which you found the dead man? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Did you, Melky? ” “ S’elp me, Zillah, if I ever knew what he had in that way! ” answered Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do I gather that the taxi- cab which I see outside there is being kept by you two young men? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do I see you, Zillah?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do n’t know what they do, I suppose? ” “ We never see anything of'em at any time, ” said the elder brother.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you know how long he's been here — stupifying himself?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you know that my good old relative has divided everything between me and my cousin? — I ’m a rich man, now, Mr. Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you know what, Mrs. Goldmark? ” he said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you say you found him? ” “ Yes — I found him, ” answered Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you see him here? ” r 72 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND Hollinshaw turned instantly and pointed to Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you want to borrow some money? ” Lauriston pulled out the watch, with more blushes, and pushed it towards her.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Do you wish to ask this witness any questions? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Does your cousin know anything? ” Melky's face assumed its most solemn expression.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Find the old gent accommodating? ” “ I did n’t see him, ” answered Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Get there in a few hours, I reckon? ” asked Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Get your bit of business done all right? ” he asked, confidentially, as he took a seat opposite his fellow- lodger and bent towards him.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Good hands, my young friend? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Got any copper? ” she asked presently.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Got any instructions about Mr. Lauriston? ” asked the official.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Got that proof about those rings? ’ ’ he enquired.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Had n’t we better lift him on that sofa? ” suggested Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Has something hap- pened?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Have any conversation with him? ” “ Yes, ’ ’ admitted Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Have you ever seen anything like this before? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Have you formed any opinion of your own as to the cause of this man ’s death? ’ ” “ Yes! ” agreed the witness, unhesitatingly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Have you read this Praed Street mystery affair? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ He might be. ” “ What's that mean? ” demanded the Inspector.
hvd.32044086882354	“ He said it was all his own. ” “ Did he tell you where it was what he had done with it? ” “ Yes!
hvd.32044086882354	“ Here! ” he said, “ do you know one Yada — Mori Yada — a Japanese?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Him what sent the bank- note, last night? ” “ Yes! ” assented the stranger.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How did you get to know him? ” he continued.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How long have you known the last witness — Andrew Lauriston? ” he enquired.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How long was that Jap in there? ” he asked, nodding at the death chamber.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How long — yes?
hvd.32044086882354	“ How much can you lend me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How much do you know? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How much do you want on this? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ How much do you want?
hvd.32044086882354	“ I ai n’t no mind, beyond managing my busi- ness! ” “ Do n’t you show your mind in managing that? ’ ” said Melky, admiringly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I believe you assisted your late grandfather in his business? ” suggested Mr. Parminter.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I believe you were called to the deceased by the last witness, Dr. Mirandolet? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I ca n’t say that I ever have. ” “ Not even at the time of your mother's death? ” “ No!
hvd.32044086882354	“ I could not. ” “ Then you could not possibly say one way or another, if those rings were taken out of that tray? ”& 4 No!
hvd.32044086882354	“ I had two hundred pounds when I left home. ’ ’ “ And that gave out — when? ’ ’ demanded Mr. Par- minter.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I hear you say at that inquest as how you'd lived in the East º'?
hvd.32044086882354	“ I know him well! ” “ The younger of the two? ” suggested Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I let him out — he turned up Paddington way. ” “ You did n’t notice anything out of the common about him? ” suggested Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I mean the account of the inquest? ” “ Every word — and heard more, besides, ” answered Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I pawned my watch there. ” “ You have, in fact, been short of money? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I suppose you can tell one from the other? ” “ Of course!
hvd.32044086882354	“ I suppose you never saw this before? ” he asked, as Zillah laid it on the table before him.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I suppose your people have taken this job entirely in hand, now? ’ ’ he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I tell you we ’ve nothing to do with them — except as their landlords. ” “ Where do you live — yourselves? ” asked the Inspec- tor.
hvd.32044086882354	“ I was attracted by the binding, of course. ” “ Where's the book, now? ” asked the official.
hvd.32044086882354	“ In and out again, as you might say. ” “ Did he say anything when he came out? ” enquired the detective.
hvd.32044086882354	“ In fact, the late Mr. Multenius brought you up?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Is anything the matter, Mr. Detective- Sergeant? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Is anything wrong? ” “ I want to know a good deal! ” answered Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Is it very likely he'd think it to be in that dead chap's pigtail when the other man's missing?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Is that as plain as your question? ” “ It ’s what I expected, ” said Levendale.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Is that he- that fellow talking to another man? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Is the man who seems undoubtedly to have dropped those studs the same man who brought that book in here?
hvd.32044086882354	“ It's — what do you want to borrow?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Just now. ” “ And what were you doing here? ” asked the man.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Just sol Now, how long had you assisted him in that way? ” “ Ever since I left school — three years ago, Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Might be?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Much?—or little? ” “ We do n’t know nothing at all, Mr. Ayscough — me and my cousin Zillah, ” replied Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Not one of us! ” “ Is he here? ” demanded the Inspector.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now then — you ’d doubtless talk a good deal about this matter — did your brother tell you what was to be done with the dia- mond?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now then, where? ” he said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now, just tell me — how do you know all this? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now, to begin with, ” he said, “ why do you think this affair is connected with the affair of the old pawn- broker?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now, what ’s inside?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now, when did those two rings come into your possession? ” “ When my mother died, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now, you would n’t like to sell this here bit of property, would you, Mr. Lauriston? ” he enquired, almost wheedlingly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Now, you'll just ex- cuse me if I ask — why? ” MR. STUYVESANT GUYLER 149 ever heard of in my life — and I ’ve known a lot of queer- ness.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Oh, Melky sent you here, did he? ” she said, with a smile.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Purvis was excited — trembling, big fellow though he is, do you see?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Resulting from — what? ” continued the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	“ See him — there? ” “ Yes! ” said Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ See that door in the corner?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Seen Mr. Levendale?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Shall I give you people a bit of my opinion after hearing all this? ” he said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Since when? ” “ Only since last night, sir, ” replied the butler, “ but the circumstances are queer.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Skill? ” retorted the witness, with a queer, twisting grimace.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Small world, ai n’t it, now? ” “ I met Mr. Spencer Levendale last September — two months ago, ” continued Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	“ So your ambition is to be a writer of fiction? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Somebody, now?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Something on your mind about this?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Something the same. ” “ What is the value of those rings — separately? ” en- quired Mr. Parminter.
hvd.32044086882354	“ S’elp me! ” exclaimed Melky, “ there ai n't no other surprises, Zillah?
hvd.32044086882354	“ That do? ” “ Thank you, ” replied Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ That means — he's dead? ” she said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ That ’s a fact l ’ ’ “ Will it come — soon? ” she demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	“ That ’s solid gold, is n’t it? ” he asked as he unfastened the clasp.
hvd.32044086882354	“ That's it, sir — who's the man? ” agreed the detective.
hvd.32044086882354	“ That? ” said the waitress, indifferently.
hvd.32044086882354	“ The Spanish manu- script? ” “ Said to have been lost by Mr. Levendale in an omni- bus, ” answered Purdie.
hvd.32044086882354	“ The day he ar Did you notice that, Zillah? ” “ Yes, ” answered Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ There ’s no bar against them coming here at night? ” “ They can come in — and go out — whenever they please, ” answered the elder man.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Those rings? ” she said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ To be sure l ’ ’ “ Can you remember, too, from whom you bought those rings? ” enquired Purdie eagerly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Tonight, for cer- tain? ’ says I.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Two or three pound on account, now, mister? ” he said, ingratiatingly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Was that there book wrapped up?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Well — you picked him up there, and drove him straight to the mortu- ary? ” “ No- I did n’t, ” said the man.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Well? ” Ayscough went straight to the point.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Well? ” he asked brusquely.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What can I do for you? ” Lauriston found his tongue.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What can you do for me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What did you do? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What do I always say of you, Mrs. Goldmark?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What do you make of it? ” she asked in her turn.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What do you make of that? ” asked Purdie after a pause.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What do you say?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What for? ” “ The ticket, ” she answered.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What is it you want to know about these two Chinese students? ” he asked a little impatiently, with a glance at Ayscough's card.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What is it? ” Elsie Bennett turned to a table, and picked up a couple of newspapers.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What is it? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What is it? ” “ This here, ” replied Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What is your game eh?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What makes you think that, Mr. Killick? ” asked the man from New Scotland Yard.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What mys- tery's this?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What on earth does it all mean?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What other rooms are there here? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What — what's it worth? ’ ” “ No, that's not it! ” she answered.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What ’s this? — is something the matter?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What ’s this? — is something the matter?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What ’s your professional opinion about what we ’ve just heard in there? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What'd I tell you, mister? ” exclaimed Melky, as Lauriston joined him, the shadowing plain- clothes man in his rear.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What's Mr. Lauriston got to say? ” “ Let me tell, ” said Purdie, as Lauriston was about to speak.
hvd.32044086882354	“ What's all this about?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What's all this business about that book?
hvd.32044086882354	“ What's the matter?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Whatever for? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where do you come from? ” “ Peebles, ” answered Lauriston.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where have you kept them? ” “ Locked up in my trunk. ” “ Have you ever, at any time, or any occasion, shown them to any person?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where have you kept them? ” “ Locked up in my trunk. ” “ Have you ever, at any time, or any occasion, shown them to any person?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where is he to be found, Andie? ’ ’ But Lauriston shook his head, disappointedly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where is my book? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where ’s Mr. Killick now — and the rest of them? ” he asked in the end.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Where? ” “ His body was found in the garden of the house they rented in Maida Vale, ” replied Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Which one of'em is it? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Which, ” he asked calmly, “ which of these gentlemen is the owner of the diamond?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Who are you? ” Lauriston fancied he detected a faint note of suspicion in these questions, and he drew himself up, with a flush on his face.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Who is he — what do you want with him?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Who is there that could THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND 195 know?
hvd.32044086882354	“ Who was he? ” she demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Why was not the matter of the book put before the Court at first? ” he demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Why — what do you mean? ” The butler looked round at a couple of footmen who hung about the door.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Wo n’t you sit down? ” she said, and took a chair close by.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Would you know them again — on other goods? ” “ I should! ” replied Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Yes? ’ ’ he said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Yes? ” said the girl at last.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Yes? ” “ Dr.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ai n’t the friend from Scotland? ” asked Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You could identify this man Purvis if you saw him? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You could?
hvd.32044086882354	“ You do n’t know anything about this book? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You do n’t know where he is? ” “ Not a ghost of a notion! ” said Guyler.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You do n’t want to sell the ticket? ” he suggested.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You have n’t seen Mr. Levendale since you were here yesterday, sir? ’ ’ he asked, in a low, anxious voice.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You know me — or of me — some of you? ” observed the old solicitor, as he laid a card on the desk by which he had been given a chair.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You know why I'm concerning myself in this? ” he said, looking round at his three companions.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You know, of course, we ’re keeping an eye on that young Scotch fellow — we’ve got to He went in there, to Goldmark's, with you?
hvd.32044086882354	“ You let that man — a Japanese — see the dead China- man — alone? ’ ’ he demanded.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You never saw anything of any small box, packet, or anything of that sort, lying about after your grand- father ’s death? ’ ’ he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You no doubt know the names of the men to whom those sets of studs were given? ” But to Purdie's disappointment, the American shook his head.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You no doubt wondered why I told that chap much? ” he whispered.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You recognize it, of course?
hvd.32044086882354	“ You saw the young man you speak of quite clearly? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You see, I've been expecting money for more than a week — that was it. ” “ Has it come? ” she asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You take a little drop of whisky- and- soda? ” he said hospitably, pushing a clean glass towards Ayscough.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You took a good look at him, I suppose? ” “ And a good one, ” answered Mrs. Goldmark.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You will excuse me, now? ” he said.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You — don't know what you thought? ” he asked.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’ll be able to account for them?
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’ll take notice that these young fellows I told you of get to the rooms we let them through that? ” he observed.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’re aware of my business, sir? ’ ’ he asked quietly.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’re not making any mistake? ” “ Mistake! ” exclaimed Melky, satirically.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’re sure of that? ” he whispered.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’re sure you're right, Melky? ” asked Zillah.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’ve met him before? ” “ Yes, ” replied Zillah, confidently.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’ve read of that in the newspaper, no doubt, Mr. Purvis?
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’ve seen the like of that be- fore, ai n’t you? ” asked Melky.
hvd.32044086882354	“ You ’ve some idea? ” he went on, looking closely at the butler.
hvd.32044086882354	“ Your property? ” asked Ayscough.
hvd.hn1dvi	Are people talking about it? ” “ I've heard some things said. hvd.hn1dvi Are they so much too small? ” asked the dealer in an innocent tone.
hvd.hn1dvi	Are you sure he's dead? ” Anna nodded. hvd.hn1dvi But you do not think Mr. Graumann capable of such a crime, do you? ”"Not of the robbery, of course not; that would be absurd!
hvd.hn1dvi	Did you see him?
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you know the gentleman's name? ” “ No, sir. ” “ You did not send the lady's name to the authori- ties? ”* “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you know the gentleman's name? ” “ No, sir. ” “ You did not send the lady's name to the authori- ties? ”* “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you think Liska was going for the old man? ” began Margit again after a few minutes. hvd.hn1dvi How did you know that I had the top there? ” he asked with a show of interest.
hvd.hn1dvi	I was cold and felt a little faint- and then he of- fered me the tea — and what happened after that? hvd.hn1dvi I wonder what rascality it was that made these two friends?

hvd.hn1dvi	132 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE “ Oh, why is it?
hvd.hn1dvi	166 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE “ What do you believe? ” asked the girl tensely.

hvd.hn1dvi	Am I really insane?
hvd.hn1dvi	Am I the victim of a villain?
hvd.hn1dvi	An ac- complice you say?
hvd.hn1dvi	And I see by the papers that the murderer was arrested in Pressburg yesterday and brought to Vienna last night. ” “ Indeed, is that so?
hvd.hn1dvi	And do you see that man over there in the blue blouse?
hvd.hn1dvi	And if two, did they work as accom- plices?
hvd.hn1dvi	And now tell us about the smith's swineherd. ” “ You mean Janos?
hvd.hn1dvi	And then she added a question of her own: “ Was he here day before yesterday? ” The merchant nodded and pressed an electric bell.
hvd.hn1dvi	And there is extra protection on the side toward the Promenade. ” “ But there's a little gate there? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1dvi	And to the various insane asylums? ” “ No, I did not do that."
hvd.hn1dvi	And to- day is Sunday- is it the first Sunday since my departure from home?
hvd.hn1dvi	And whose hand had fired the shot that caused his death?
hvd.hn1dvi	And you believe him innocent? ” “ I am inclined to do so.
hvd.hn1dvi	Anything that might give us a clue to the truth? ” “ No, nothing.
hvd.hn1dvi	Are they going to question me again?
hvd.hn1dvi	Are they going to take me away?
hvd.hn1dvi	Are you alone in the city?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Are you ill?
hvd.hn1dvi	Are you ill? ” Amster smiled sadly.
hvd.hn1dvi	Are you sure of what you are saying? ” The commissioner's excitement rendered him almost inarticulate.
hvd.hn1dvi	As he was opening it, Muller asked: “ Has Egon Langen a bad scar on his right cheek? ” Berner's eyes looked his astonishment.
hvd.hn1dvi	At least we were together all day, although I never met him outside the office. ” “ Then you can not tell us much about his private life?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Bauer had entered from the Promenade CASE OF THE GOLDEN BULLET 327 “ To- morrow, then. ” “ May I now continue to unfold my theories?"
hvd.hn1dvi	But has it been clearly proven that there is a robbery?

hvd.hn1dvi	But they ca n't catch a man'until he has com- mitted his crime, can they?"
hvd.hn1dvi	But this letter?
hvd.hn1dvi	But what happened to you?

hvd.hn1dvi	Could the wind have blown away the tracks so soon, or was it really my sick brain that appeared to see this trop- ical bird in the midst of the snow?
hvd.hn1dvi	Did any physician see me?
hvd.hn1dvi	Did he give you something to make you faint?
hvd.hn1dvi	Did he really only rob the body, not realising that it was a dead man and not merely an intoxicated sleeper as he had supposed?
hvd.hn1dvi	Did he, however, tell any one later that he expected a certain sum?
hvd.hn1dvi	Did it mean that the murderer went out through that door, dragging something after him that made this delicate line?

hvd.hn1dvi	Did you throw it away, or have you it still? ” “ I threw it in the river. ” “ That will not make any difference.
hvd.hn1dvi	Did your master give you permission to go? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do n't you remember seeing any footsteps in the garden, leading away from the house? ” asked Muller, as they stood on the snow- covered paths.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you deny this? ” She did not deny it, she did not answer at all.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you know of any enemies he might have had in the city? ” “ No, I do not know of any enemies, or even of any friends he had there.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you know of any friends with whom he could have been on terms of sufficient intimacy to write such a letter?
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you know to whom it could have been written?
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you know what these plans for 164 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE the future could have been?
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you see that elder tree there?
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you think he would have been likely to tell any one? ” “ No, I do not think that he would tell any one.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you want all Vienna to know that your brother- in- law ought to be in jail? ” These words robbed Thorne of all control.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you want it made fresh? ” said Franz.
hvd.hn1dvi	Do you want us to miss the train? ” The butler closed the door of the carriage, the coachman gathered up the reins and raised his whip.
hvd.hn1dvi	Everything seems to frighten you?
hvd.hn1dvi	Fellner a criminal? ” “ To- morrow you shall know everything, my kind friend.
hvd.hn1dvi	Finally Muller asked: “ Is this what happened? ” His voice was cutting and the glance of his eyes keen and sharp.
hvd.hn1dvi	For as the letter carrier passed him, he called out: ‘ Have n't you anything for me?'
hvd.hn1dvi	For the money?
hvd.hn1dvi	Had she any reason for believing that she might be watched?
hvd.hn1dvi	He helped her regain her feet and she looked about as if still dazed, stammering: “ Has he gone? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	He may already be on his way home. ”"On his way home?
hvd.hn1dvi	His soul has been purged in these terrible days; have you the right to endanger his life needlessly? ” “ Oh, I do not know!
hvd.hn1dvi	How could you think for a moment that he would leave it behind him, here in his room, or dropped in the garden?
hvd.hn1dvi	How did the stranger know this?
hvd.hn1dvi	How does he seem?"
hvd.hn1dvi	How long will it be before his death is avenged?
hvd.hn1dvi	I could n't sleep a wink all night for the pain in my bones. ” “ You live near here, then? ” “ Yes, I live in No.
hvd.hn1dvi	I feared anything might happen. ” “ You feared he might take his own life, do you mean?"
hvd.hn1dvi	I had never harmed any one; who can wish for my death?
hvd.hn1dvi	I pawned it once for Mr. Winkler and they gave me 24 gulden for it. ” “ One question more, did he have a purse?
hvd.hn1dvi	I suppose everybody round here will know it soon. ” “ Was there a man murdered here? ” asked Muller, as if surprised by the news.
hvd.hn1dvi	I will take the responsi- bility. ” “ But who are you? ” asked the janitor.
hvd.hn1dvi	If a man's attacked, he generally calls for help; it's a queer business all right. ” “ Well, Sultan, why did n't you make a noise?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Is Asta dead? ” The detective shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn1dvi	Is it at all likely that a mur- derer would go away leaving such evidence behind him?
hvd.hn1dvi	Is it not I who am the cause of this dreadful thing?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Is it not an irony that this man, the only one whom John really hated, should be the one to avenge him now? ” “ H'm!
hvd.hn1dvi	Is it not my duty to keep it? ” Muller rose from his chair.
hvd.hn1dvi	Is it not so, doctor? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	Is it possible that you do not know this?
hvd.hn1dvi	Is not this the most likely thing for a man of his character to do?
hvd.hn1dvi	Is something to happen to- day then?
hvd.hn1dvi	Is there any such hurry, do you think?
hvd.hn1dvi	Is there anything we can do for you here?
hvd.hn1dvi	Is there no one else who could have an interest in the young lady's death?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Is this mechanism your own invention? ” asked Muller smiling.
hvd.hn1dvi	Is this your room?"
hvd.hn1dvi	It is Gyuri, the warder in the asylum. ”'“ No, sir, it is not Gyuri_Gyuri did not do it. ” “ But when I tell you that he did?"
hvd.hn1dvi	It is only natural that we should want to give you every assistance in our power. ”"What is your opinion about it?"
hvd.hn1dvi	It is pe- culiar, is it not?
hvd.hn1dvi	It is the dead man's handwriting, that we know, but why did not the friend to whom it was addressed come forward and make himself known?
hvd.hn1dvi	It makes such a difference. ” “ Is the lady anything like her brother? ” asked the detective indifferently, bending to examine the wiring.
hvd.hn1dvi	It may give the one or the other of them a bet- ter chance for the future. ” “ And you?
hvd.hn1dvi	It was Monday, the 18th of November, that I set out on my trip, and reached here in the evening( here?
hvd.hn1dvi	It was addressed to Count “ Do you know the shepherd Janci?
hvd.hn1dvi	It was many years before Langen married again. ” “ Do you know him personally?
hvd.hn1dvi	May I speak to your ward, Miss Roemer?
hvd.hn1dvi	Might he not have had a rich love somewhere?
hvd.hn1dvi	Might it not have been- might they not have “ You mean, might they not have quarrelled?
hvd.hn1dvi	Mr. Franz does n't mind leaving us for a while, does he? ” “ But why? ” said the old man hesitatingly.
hvd.hn1dvi	Mr. Franz does n't mind leaving us for a while, does he? ” “ But why? ” said the old man hesitatingly.
hvd.hn1dvi	Muller began: “ Why did you wait so long before committing the murder?
hvd.hn1dvi	Muller laid his hand on the other's shoulder and said gravely: “ You would n't care to take service with us?
hvd.hn1dvi	Muller, did you shut the outer door? ” “ Yes, sir; here is the key."
hvd.hn1dvi	Muller, will you order a cab, please?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Or is it possible that Knoll's story was true?
hvd.hn1dvi	Or was she drawn thither by that queer attraction that brings the criminal back to the scene of his crime?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Or was she talking to herself?
hvd.hn1dvi	Or was there a robbery? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	Or yes, perhaps, but I do n't suppose that will be any good. ” “ What was it?
hvd.hn1dvi	Shall I drive to the garden gate? ” “ No, stop here. ” Muller was already on the ground.
hvd.hn1dvi	She is at home now?"
hvd.hn1dvi	She was alive and able to send a mes- sage at half past eight this evening. ” “ A message?
hvd.hn1dvi	THE LAMP THAT WENT OUT 23 “ Why, what do you mean? ” asked the clerk.
hvd.hn1dvi	THE LAMP THAT WENT OUT 41 “ Have n't you found it yet? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1dvi	THE POOL OF BLOOD 249 “ The body is missing,"said Orszay, somewhat sharply.. “ Missing? ” Muller became greatly interested.
hvd.hn1dvi	THE POOL OF BLOOD 255 “ What is the use of being impatient? ” he said to himself.
hvd.hn1dvi	The Professor's own key ought to be in the drawer of the little table beside the bed. ” “ Will you please look for it, Muller? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	The devil that spurred him on to understand that there always was some hidden side to every 58 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE case?
hvd.hn1dvi	The door is not locked. ” “ You mean you believe""That the murderers came in from the church?
hvd.hn1dvi	The high chiefs and commissioners grant a condescending permission when Muller asks, “ May I do this?
hvd.hn1dvi	The main door has been watched all day by a gendarme. ” “ Is there but one door out of this room?"
hvd.hn1dvi	The messen- ger had already gone away. ” “ Did you notice his number? ” asked Dr. von Riedau.
hvd.hn1dvi	The promise demanded of me by the man to whom I had given my love?
hvd.hn1dvi	The unfortunate man bent over him with shining eyes and whispered: “ But you'll shoot him first, wo n't you? ” “ Why should I shoot him?".
hvd.hn1dvi	The unfortunate man bent over him with shining eyes and whispered: “ But you'll shoot him first, wo n't you? ” “ Why should I shoot him?".
hvd.hn1dvi	Then I may go back and tell you some- thing of my connection with John Siders?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Then means “ Then you do n't believe me yet? ” “ You mean about the beautiful Mrs. Kniepp?
hvd.hn1dvi	Then means “ Then you do n't believe me yet? ” “ You mean about the beautiful Mrs. Kniepp?
hvd.hn1dvi	Then they do not dare to kill me here?
hvd.hn1dvi	Then turning to Muller he con- tinued: “ And that is why you are here? ” “ Yes, Mr. Thorne.
hvd.hn1dvi	There was a note of fear in the housekeeper's voice and she added hastily:"Does any one besides ourselves know that he was here? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1dvi	They need me on another case. ” “ It's a sad work, this bringing people to the gal- lows, is n't it? ” “ Yes, Janci, it is sometimes.
hvd.hn1dvi	They treat her as if she was one of the family. ” “ And she is ill also?
hvd.hn1dvi	This is the letter that was found on the table? ” “ Yes, this letter appears to be the last he had writ- ten in life.
hvd.hn1dvi	This is what he read: “ Wednesday — is it Wednesday?
hvd.hn1dvi	This promise that he asks of me — that I should wait until the trial? ” “ You have not given this promise.
hvd.hn1dvi	To whom?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Was it a mur- der for robbery, or a murder for personal revenge perhaps?
hvd.hn1dvi	Was it be- cause the old woman could not read it?
hvd.hn1dvi	Was it terror of coming death, foreseen and not to be escaped?
hvd.hn1dvi	Was it the housekeeper who had put out the light?
hvd.hn1dvi	Was it written at the dictation of insanity?
hvd.hn1dvi	Went past as quick as a bat in the night. ” “ Then they both appeared to be in a hurry? ” “ Yes indeed they did. ” “ Ah, ha, you see!
hvd.hn1dvi	Were the two crimes committed here by one and the same person, or were there two people concerned?
hvd.hn1dvi	Were these words meant for me?
hvd.hn1dvi	What could there have been in that tea?
hvd.hn1dvi	What did that mean?
hvd.hn1dvi	What do you mean? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	What do you take me for?
hvd.hn1dvi	What do you think?
hvd.hn1dvi	What does all this mean? ” “ It means, sir, that we now know who committed the murder in Hietzing.
hvd.hn1dvi	What does he mean to do?
hvd.hn1dvi	What does he say about it himself? ” “ He seems quite hopeless.
hvd.hn1dvi	What does this mean?
hvd.hn1dvi	What is it?
hvd.hn1dvi	What was it that she wanted to see or do in the street?
hvd.hn1dvi	What was this devil that rode him and spurred him on to delve into the hidden facts concerning matters that seemed so simple on the sur- face?
hvd.hn1dvi	What's the matter with her? ” “ Goodness knows, nerves, heart trouble, something like that.
hvd.hn1dvi	What- what is it you want of us? ”"I will tell you what I want, Mrs. Bernauer, but first I want to speak to you alone.
hvd.hn1dvi	When did you see the man? ” “ He came past a few minutes after the woman had gone towards the little house in the garden."
hvd.hn1dvi	When he heard Franz's words and saw how disturbed the woman was, he asked himself: “ Why did this woman want to be shown the spot of the murder?
hvd.hn1dvi	Where am I?
hvd.hn1dvi	Where are the wires?
hvd.hn1dvi	Where should I get a watch?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Where was he before that?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Where will they take me?
hvd.hn1dvi	Who can prove that? ” “ We have all the proofs we need."
hvd.hn1dvi	Who could be more interested in what they have to tell than he? ” The housekeeper had sat as if frozen to stone dur- ing Muller's long speech.
hvd.hn1dvi	Who do you think killed Siders? ” “ How can I know who it was?
hvd.hn1dvi	Who do you think killed Siders? ” “ How can I know who it was?
hvd.hn1dvi	Who is, or rather who was, this John Siders? ”"John Siders came to our village a little over a year ago,"continued Miss Graumann.
hvd.hn1dvi	Who would then have been found dead here several days after you had entered the house? ” “ Several days, several weeks perhaps.
hvd.hn1dvi	Why are you here? ” he stam- mered finally.
hvd.hn1dvi	Why did n't you come in here with me?
hvd.hn1dvi	Why did you 60 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE run away from that gate so suddenly?
hvd.hn1dvi	Why did you not take that? ” “ Fellner did not know that I had already received twenty thousand of this when my father turned me out.
hvd.hn1dvi	Why did you write to our firm? ” asked the supposed electrician.
hvd.hn1dvi	Why not?
hvd.hn1dvi	Why should he murder and rob an obscure clerk like this Winkler? ” “ He did not rob him sir, Knoll did that."
hvd.hn1dvi	Why should she have noticed it?
hvd.hn1dvi	Why should she run away when she saw me? ” These were his thoughts.
hvd.hn1dvi	Why?
hvd.hn1dvi	Will you open it? ” With trembling hands the girl tore open the enve- lope.
hvd.hn1dvi	Will you please look up the time- tables of the Southern railroad and let me know when the morning express leaves?
hvd.hn1dvi	Will you swear? ” “ Is it something so very important you have to tell me?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Will you swear? ” “ Is it something so very important you have to tell me?"
hvd.hn1dvi	With his usual thoroughness he began at the very beginning: “ When was it that you climbed the fence to get into the shed?"
hvd.hn1dvi	With what instrument?
hvd.hn1dvi	Would he so stubbornly deny it, if it had happened?"
hvd.hn1dvi	Would you take it upon yourself to endanger your guardian's life still more?
hvd.hn1dvi	You are amused at my enthu- siasm?
hvd.hn1dvi	You are going to leave us? ” “ Yes, Janci, I must go back to Budapest, and from there to Vienna.
hvd.hn1dvi	You can imagine that it must be some- thing very important that takes me to Venice. ” “ To Venice?
hvd.hn1dvi	You have asked the doctor to come here again, have n't you? ” “ Yes, your Grace!
hvd.hn1dvi	You have come to Venice? ” exclaimed Joseph Muller in as- tonishment as he saw Mrs. Bernauer standing there before him.
hvd.hn1dvi	You know Dani- eli's?"
hvd.hn1dvi	You mean that the authorities are not convinced of my guilt, in spite of the evidence?
hvd.hn1dvi	You wanted her entire fortune, did you not?
hvd.hn1dvi	Your profession is as good and perhaps better than many another. ” “ And you come out here so early to tell me that? ” Amster smiled.
hvd.hn1dvi	and he wants you to tell me that he's sick?
hvd.hn1dvi	and the revolver you left so handy for her?
hvd.hn1dvi	are you sure you are not letting your imagination run away with you again?
hvd.hn1dvi	hypnotised into it, as it were?
hvd.hn1dvi	if they watch out sharp enough? ” “ The police watch out sharper than most people think.
hvd.hn1dvi	is this another delusion?
hvd.hn1dvi	must I go out again? ” asked the driver hoarsely.
hvd.hn1dvi	oh, why? ” “ It was a terrible revenge.
hvd.hn1dvi	or am I really mad?
hvd.hn1dvi	or did A. L. know, while she wrote it, that it was too late for any help to reach her?
hvd.hn1dvi	or is this the cell of an in- sane asylum?
hvd.hn1dvi	or was it the trem- bling and the terror of an overthrown brain?
hvd.hn1dvi	soon?
hvd.hn1dvi	then you must be a person of import- ance in the house if you have been there so long?"
hvd.hn1dvi	von Riedau? ” The commissioner raised his head and looked around.
hvd.hn1dvi	what good do you get from that? ” asked the old gentleman, astonished.
hvd.hn1dvi	what is the matter?
hvd.hn1dvi	where there would be no one to bring help?"
hvd.hn1dvi	who is this accom- plice?
hvd.hn1dvi	you were in the train too?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ A closed coupé. ” “ Did you see the number? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ A dead man? ” repeated the policeman gravely, looking at the girl.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Ah- that is the entrance of the passage to the church? ” asked the magistrate in surprise.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And 1,—I've got to arrest him in my own house? ” he exclaimed as if horrified.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And THE REGISTERED LETTER 159 you know nothing of any other relations or connec- tions that the man may have had?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And is that all that's the matter with her? ” asked Muller in a tone of disappointment.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And it was during this dozing that you thought you heard the shot? ” THE LAMP THAT WENT OUT 85 But Knoll shook his head.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And let us blunder on in our official stupidity and blindness? ” interrupted the commissioner, a faint smile breaking the gravity of his face.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And no one else has left the house to- day or has entered it? ” “ No one.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And now what is it you want me for, Count?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And the man?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And then I may go back home? ” asked Miss Graumann.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And then what happened? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And there is not a trace of the body, you say?—or a clue as to where they might have taken the dead- or dying man? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And this evening, too? ” “ This very evening.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And to the hospitals?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And what happened then? ” “ Nothing more then, except that the man went through the garden. ” Muller rose now and took up his hat.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And who are you? ” he asked calmly.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And who do you say murdered this man? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And you are going to find out about Fellner? ” smiled the commissioner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And you believe it?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And you hired it in the name of Miss Asta Lan- gen?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And you locked the door behind you? ” “ Why, yes, sir.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And you thought you might silence me? ” he asked calmly.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And you — you are still the only person who knows the truth? ” she gasped in his ear.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ And your occupation? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are n't you coming with us? ” he asked, astonished.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are there any dogs here? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are they looking for me?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are you going already?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are you going away too? ” asked Franz.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are you like shepherd Janci that you can see the things others do n't see? ” “ No, I have not Janci's gift.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Are you sure of that? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Beer, sir? ” asked the waiter for the third time.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ But he did n't suffer, he was dead at once. ” “ And now tell me what this top was doing there? ” No.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ But why did n't you complete your crime in the room in the old house? ” persisted Muller.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ But why?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ But- why the golden bullet? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Ca n't you see the poor beast is all wet from the last ride?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Can you give us the details now, Madam?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Can you tell us anything more about the watch? ” asked the commissioner of the landlady.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Could this possibly have been the man to whom the letter is addressed?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did I ever say anything else about him while he was warm and alive?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did he know any ladies in his former home? ” “ There was one- I think he was engaged to her."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did he leave nothing that might enable us to find him? ” “ No, sir, nothing.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did she not usually announce her coming to you? ”"No, she liked to surprise me.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did the man use them? ” asked Amster.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did you drop anything?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did you have any difficulty with him? ” asked the commissioner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did your master ever receive visits from ladies?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Did your nephew send you here to ask for help? ” he inquired very gently.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Do you know this handwriting? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Do you know where they have taken the lady? ” “ No, sir.'
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Do you wish to speak to me?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Go home with the assurance that you will help my poor boy? ” “ Yes, you may depend on us, Madam.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Has it ever happened that any one got into the house from this side door without your knowing it? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have n't you heard yet? ” she said breathlessly.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have you a picture of Miss Langen? ” Fellner rang a bell and Berner appeared.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have you any boots for me? ” he asked, sticking out his right foot that the dealer might see whether he had anything the requisite size.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have you any of these envelopes? ” asked Mul- ler.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have you come to question me again? ” asked Graumann wearily.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have you made a thorough search for the body? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Have you visited him in prison?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ He was killed by a shot. ” “ A shot?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ He was loved and revered. ” THE POOL OF BLOOD 251 “ By every one? ” “ By every one! ” the four men answered at once.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How can they help us? ” “ Somewhere on this stretch of the street railroad you will probably find the stand of the cab we are looking for.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How close together? ” 34 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE “ Why_about once in every three or four months, I think."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How do you know that? ” asked the man, sur- prised.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How many doors have they on the street side?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How many times have you been out of the apartment since last night? ” “ Once only, sir, to go to the police station to fetch you."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How old would he be now? ” “ He must be nearly forty.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ How?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ I am a Catholic. ” “ You have been in prison before? ” This was scarcely a question.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ I looked over after a while to the place where the red light was and I saw some- thing else. ” “ Well, what was it you saw?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ I sup- pose you've brought me in a boy's suit?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ I want to be with my dear lady — to comfort her-- to pro- tect her when — when"“ When they arrest me?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ In such a hurry? ” thought the shepherd's wife.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Indeed I have a good place, sir. ” “ You've had this place a long time? ” “ More than twenty years.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is anything the matter?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is it about Miss Langen? ” “ Yes, please wake him up."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is it snowing now? ” He turned to Amster.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is it the telegram? ” she asked sleepily.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is n't it made from the wood of a red yew tree?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is that all? ” murmured the commissioner, as if disappointed.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is that all?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is that usually closed? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is the house door locked during the daytime?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is there any possibility of suicide?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is this right? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Is this the church the commissioner was talking about? ” queried Amster.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ It is hers?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ It was locked on the inside? ” “ Yes, locked on the inside."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ It would n't have been worth the money, sir; the chain was n't real gold. ” “ But the watch was real, was n't it?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Joseph Muller, the famous detective Muller?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ May I not make it as easy as I can for Mr. Thorne- I mean, bring him here with as little publicity as possible?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ May I sit down also?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ My God, is it possible?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ My occupation?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ No, I am going with you, ” she said softly, strangely calm; “ why should I leave you now?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ No, I am not ill, but I was discharged to- day and am out of work now- that's almost as bad. ” “ Are you married? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ No, really, have you?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ No, sir,"said Knoll firmly.. “ What is your business?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ No, that would have been a fool thing to do. ” “ And you are quite sure that these people were in a hurry? ” “ That's dead sure.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Not a shot?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Oh, are you still there? ” he asked with a drawl.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Oh, what does it all mean? ” asked Eleonora, dropping the letter in her lap.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Shall we go now?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ So it was around here that the man was shot?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The disorder in the room? ” thought Muller.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The doors were both locked on the inside — where could the murderer be? ” “ I do n't pretend to see him myself yet.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The gentleman paid me well, and I did not think that he meant anything bad, and- and-"“ And you did not think that it would be found out?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The poor unfortunate madman — whose knife took all these lives can not be held responsible, can he? ” “ Oh, no; his misfortune protects him.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The purse and the watch of the murdered man are fatal wit- nesses against you. ” “ The watch?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The strange man?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ The window had been closed. ” “ Who closed it?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then came the even- ing of the 23rd of September? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then swear, on your mother's soul- or is your mother still alive? ” “ No, she has been dead some time."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then the old woman has been talking? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then there was a quarrel between them?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then you are Count-? ” answered Muiler gently.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then you believed this elaborate yarn told by the tramp? ” he interrupted once, at the beginning of the narrative.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then you did n't come on account of the dog? ”"No, I did n't come on account of the dog."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then you know Miss Asta Langen and her fam- ily? ” “ Why, of course.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then you never let him leave the asylum grounds? ”"Oh, yes.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Then you'll take wine, sir? ” asked the insistent Ganymede.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ There has been nothing moved or changed in this room?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ There's no one there; Mrs. Bernauer's out. ” “ Has she gone away, too? ” asked the electrician hastily.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ To Cathedral Lane, if you will permit it. ” “ At this hour?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ To speak to him? ” said the woman, and shook her head as if in doubt.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Was he in the habitf making you presents? ” “ Oh, no, sir; he was ty close with his money, sir."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Was she beautiful? ” “ I never saw her.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, say, ca n't your master find anything better to paint than a face like that? ” Muller asked with a laugh.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, what are you thinking of? ” asked the commissioner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, what's the trouble here?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, what's the trouble here?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, where's our little patient?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, why not?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well, you can see I'm no Jew, ca n't you? ” “ You will please answer my questions in a proper manner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well? ” asked Commissioner Holzer.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well? ” the latter asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Were you not afraid you would get into trouble?'
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What am I to do?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What are you doing here? ” he asked in astonishment.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What are you talking about?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What are you thinking of? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What can have happened here~ here in this weird spot, where a cry for help would never be heard?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What course will the law take? ” asked Orszay.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What did this gentleman look like? ” asked Mul- 216 JOE MULLER: DETECTIVE ler, to start her talking again.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What do we owe you? ” asked Franz.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What do you mean by that? ” she exclaimed with a start.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What do you think about it yourself?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What do you want?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What does he want?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What does the man want anyway? ” he mur- mured to himself, shivering involuntarily.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What does this mean? ” murmured Gyuri, turn- ing pale.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What evidence have we that this man did not commit suicide?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What good would that have done you?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What has happened? ” This was all she could say as she looked into the distraught face of the housekeeper, into her husband's sad eyes.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What is there for me to do now? ” he asked sadly.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What is your name? ” asked the commissioner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What sort of a car- riage was it in which they took the lady away? ” he asked as they went down.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What was the matter with the woman?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What were the initials? ” “ I do n't know that, sir; at least I'm not sure about it.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What · have you to report to me? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What's the matter? ” asked the butler.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ What- what do you know? ” she stammered.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ When did you see him last? ” he asked of the woman.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ When?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Where are you going, Muller?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Where did it come from? ” “ Pernburg gave it to me.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who are you and who else is here with you? ”, asked the man calmly.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who are you, my good woman? ” he asked kindly, softened by the evident agitation of this poorly though neatly dressed woman.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who are you? ” asked the sick man, raising his head from the pillow.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who are you? ” demanded the commissioner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who could have such an interest in my death?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who could the man have been?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who else lives in the house? ” “ The sexton and the dairymaid."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who has been in this room since the discovery?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who is the victim? ” “ Our pastor. ” “ How was he killed? ”** We do not know."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who is the victim? ” “ Our pastor. ” “ How was he killed? ”** We do not know."
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Who was that? ” asked Margit, looking up from her folded hands.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why are you astonished at this? ” asked Fellner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why are you so excited? ” “ Down there — in the lane, there's a dead man, ” answered the girl, gasping for breath.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why did n't he marry her? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ What was her name? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why did n't he marry her? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ What was her name? ”.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why did n't he take the chain to the jeweler's to be fixed? ” asked the commissioner.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why did you cut the bridge supports? ” “ Because I enjoy giving people riddles, as I told you.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why does the police send to me? ” “ It concerns your ward. ” Fellner sat upright in bed now.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why should I be angry with you — you who have discovered my in- excusable credulity? ” “ Inexcusable?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why should I be angry with you — you who have discovered my in- excusable credulity? ” “ Inexcusable?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why should n't he come again? ” “ Is the head of the firm here? ” asked Mrs. Kling- mayer, wiping her forehead with her handkerchief.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why should n't he come again? ” “ Is the head of the firm here? ” asked Mrs. Kling- mayer, wiping her forehead with her handkerchief.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why, what is the matter with you, Mrs. Bernauer?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why, what is the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Will you follow these tracks in the direction from which they have come? ” he asked of Amster.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Will you please lead me to the scene of the crime? ” he said, rising from his chair.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Will you speak to Amster; he has just re- turned? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Wo n't you sit down here a little?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Would you answer me several questions? ” asked Muller.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Yes, I am convinced of it, but can I find the proofs?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Yes, he has, but how did you know it? ” he mur- mured in surprise.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You are going before you read what is in the notebook? ” asked Commissioner von Mayringen.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You are going with us?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You are not a physician, then? ” asked Muller, turning to Orszay.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You belong to the police?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You come here frequently? ” he began, to open the conversation.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You come to this house again? ” asked Franz, starting back in alarm when he saw who it was that had called him to the door.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You come with a telegram, I suppose?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You did n't pay him, did you?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You do n't mind, sir, if he sits down here? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You going to sleep in there? ” said the girl, hor- rified.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You got into the house through the crypt?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You have been to the prison?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You have found him, sir? ” he exclaimed as he came up to Muller.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You know where everybody lives, do n't you? ” smiled Horn.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You may be right. ” “ Has anything happened to our dear young lady?'
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You must open this letter to- morrow in the pres- ence of the Police Commissioner and Graumann. ” “ But this promise?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You really mean to help me? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You sent for me, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You think it was a murder? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You want me to look at the little dog?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You were in the next compartment?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You will come again?
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You will let me know as soon as you have found anything — anything that gives me hope? ”"I will indeed.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ You're goin'already? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Your age?"
hvd.hn1dvi	“ Your religion?""
hvd.hn1dvi	” “ On the 16th?
hvd.32044011472404	. ” And, putting down the tray, she continued: “ Are n't you afraid, Rose, of the chill of the night air?
hvd.32044011472404	. ” Hortense at once proposed: “ Would you like me to go for her?
hvd.32044011472404	. ” The deputy- procurator stated it at once: “ And what became of M. de Gorne in all this? ” “ Mathias de Gorne? ” asked Jérôme.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” The deputy- procurator stated it at once: “ And what became of M. de Gorne in all this? ” “ Mathias de Gorne? ” asked Jérôme.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ And I shall perhaps succeed in preventing it, with your excellency's assistance. ” “ But have you been to the police? ” “ No.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ And therefore, ” concluded Rénine, “ the two cases are not in any way related? ” “ Oh, ” she said, “ there's no making it out!
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ And you deny yourself the pleasure of bringing the good news? ” “ It ’s one of the pleasures that pall upon one.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ By which way?
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ Is What? ” “ Is to know what those two dead bodies are. ” “ Still, Rossigny.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ Is it possible? ” murmured Hortense.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ It was, M. Pancaldi, it was 1 ” “ And what are your intentions? ” “ My intentions are irreproachable.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ What do you mean? ” spluttered Germaine.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ What else? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ What other peril? ” she asked, ingenuously.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ What? ” she repeated, a little unnerved by wait- ing.
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ Where to find him?
hvd.32044011472404	. ” “ You were there?

hvd.32044011472404	A brute, inevitably, do n't you agree?
hvd.32044011472404	A thin man, with a red im- perial, entered: “ Prince Rénine? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.32044011472404	Abducted?
hvd.32044011472404	All this is no business of ours, is 148 THE EIGHT STROKES OF THE CLOCK it?
hvd.32044011472404	Among two millions of women who might have been selected, why Hortense?
hvd.32044011472404	An arrant rogue, is n’t he? ”- The inspector nodded his head: “ It may be.
hvd.32044011472404	And he was there, in front of the inn, when the inspector was seeing us off? ” “ Lord, yes!
hvd.32044011472404	And he: is he safe?
hvd.32044011472404	And how were you to know that they were here at all?
hvd.32044011472404	And ought n't we to think of Geneviève? ” He seemed greatly surprised: “ Why, all that's over and done with!
hvd.32044011472404	And sing- ing Massenet in the sitting room of her cottage! ” “ What does it all mean?
hvd.32044011472404	And suddenly she rushed at Rénine, stammering: “ He is arrested?
hvd.32044011472404	And then is it credible that a man who has committed a murder for the sake of sixty thousand francs should do away with the money in this way?
hvd.32044011472404	And then, even if I had not discovered anything, do you think that I should not have guessed, in the first few minutes?
hvd.32044011472404	And they are going to commit the infamy of putting him to death?
hvd.32044011472404	And which of them has the thought of murder hidden in his heart?
hvd.32044011472404	And why should she lie?
hvd.32044011472404	And why? ” “ Because the Domaine de Halingre used to be- long and no doubt still belongs to the d'Aigleroches.
hvd.32044011472404	And you would have me say nothing?
hvd.32044011472404	And your proofs? ” “ Not the shadow of a proof.
hvd.32044011472404	And, like all great discoveries, it came quite by chance, what?
hvd.32044011472404	Are we to sacrifice her?
hvd.32044011472404	Are you satisfied? ” “ Yes, Geneviève will be glad, ” she replied, ab- sently.
hvd.32044011472404	Are you unwell? ” “ No, no, ” said M. de Lourtier, with the perspi- ration streaming down his forehead.
hvd.32044011472404	As the doctor was n't there, he waited all night and it was he who did it all. ” “ Did what? ” asked Rénine.
hvd.32044011472404	Aymard and beg her once more to forgive me? ” Rénine did not move and, when the other pressed the letter upon him, he took it and tore it up.
hvd.32044011472404	Bang, bang, bang?
hvd.32044011472404	Because I have accused you? ” “ Why?
hvd.32044011472404	Because I have accused you? ” “ Why?
hvd.32044011472404	Before the snowfall, a single arrival, Mathias, and a single departure, the stranger. ” “ And Madame de Gorne?
hvd.32044011472404	But I need your calmness and your confidence. ” “ I will be calm, ” “ And confident? ” “ And confident. ” “ Well, wait for me.
hvd.32044011472404	But I was so sure of you! ” “ And were n't you frightened? ” “ Of starving?
hvd.32044011472404	But I was so sure of you! ” “ And were n't you frightened? ” “ Of starving?
hvd.32044011472404	But above all, do n't wake up Madame Aubrieux. ” “ And suppose she wakes of her own accord? ” “ Reassure her and give her confidence.
hvd.32044011472404	But hang it all, who could have expected this?
hvd.32044011472404	But have n't we a saucepan?
hvd.32044011472404	But he's kept his feet, the rascal! ” “ Still, you're certain it's he? ” “ It ca n't be any one else.
hvd.32044011472404	But this letter is signed by my wife. ” “ And you were afraid of finding something else? ” “ Oh no!
hvd.32044011472404	But what are you doing, dear girl? ” Hortense herself had alighted from the car.
hvd.32044011472404	But who, in the devil's name, can the ruffian be?
hvd.32044011472404	But why? ” “ Look again, ” he said.
hvd.32044011472404	But, if so, why feel any remorse?
hvd.32044011472404	Ca n't you make a more definite ac- cusation? ” Rénine did not reply.
hvd.32044011472404	Camouflage contrived by whom? ” “ By Mathias de Gorne himself. ” “ That's curious!
hvd.32044011472404	Can that charming creature be the wife of that clod- hopper?'
hvd.32044011472404	Chief- Inspector, you have some of your men outside, have n't you? ” “ Two detective- sergeants. ” “ It's important that they should be there.
hvd.32044011472404	Confess, ca n't you?

hvd.32044011472404	Dalbrèque stepped back, at once assuming the defensive: “ What do you want?

hvd.32044011472404	Do you consent? ” “ Yes, ” she said, “ but.
hvd.32044011472404	Do you deny it, sir? ” Rénine did not open his lips.

hvd.32044011472404	Hortense whispered: “ Then you know?
hvd.32044011472404	How P How can I tell?

hvd.32044011472404	How the deuce did he manage to set the thing alight? ” He stood up, looking attentively about him.
hvd.32044011472404	How was it I never thought of that?
hvd.32044011472404	I am entitled not to keep my promise, which, moreover, I never made, but which in any case falls to the ground?
hvd.32044011472404	I am listening. ” “ Not here. ” “ Where then, monsieur? ” “ Next door, in the sitting- room. ” “ No, ” she said, sharply.
hvd.32044011472404	I came here positive that I should find my clasp and with the immovable determination to take it away with me. ” “ But do you know me?

hvd.32044011472404	I presume that this is not M. Vignal's intention and that he does not mean to bring a charge against him? ” “ Certainly not, ” said Jérôme.

hvd.32044011472404	It's a foregone conclusion. ” “ No power on earth, sir, can compel me to do such a thing! ” “ Shall we send for your wife?
hvd.32044011472404	It's about Jacques Aubrieux, is n't it? ”- “ Yes, yes, Jacques Aubrieux, ” the young man stammered.
hvd.32044011472404	Jac- ques?
hvd.32044011472404	Jacques Aubrieux condemned to die?
hvd.32044011472404	Just one question: where did you get the woman's address? ” She flushed.

hvd.32044011472404	M. Morisseau, will you give orders to the sergeant not to let him out of his sight and to blow out his brains if he tries to get away?
hvd.32044011472404	M. de Lourtier briefly presented his visitor and asked his wife: “ Suzanne, is this express message from you? ” “ To Mlle.
hvd.32044011472404	Madame d'Im- Bleval ’s P ” “ No. ” “ Madame Vaurois', therefore? ” “ No. ” A stupefied silence welcomed the two replies.
hvd.32044011472404	Moreover, how 104 THE EIGHT STROKES OF THE CLOCK could he do so, now that they had forced their way into the privacy of his odious existence?
hvd.32044011472404	Morisseau, you wo n't let any one come in with us, will you?
hvd.32044011472404	Must we not admit a cer- tain complicity? ” “ Never!
hvd.32044011472404	My son?
hvd.32044011472404	Neither have Madame d'Imbleval and Madame Vaurois. ” “ No proofs of what? ” exclaimed Jean Louis, losing patience.
hvd.32044011472404	No change?
hvd.32044011472404	Now I know. ” “ And he's in love with Madame Aubrieux? ” “ In logic, he's bound to be.
hvd.32044011472404	Now in what did that choice consist?
hvd.32044011472404	Oh dear, oh dear, what have we done to be tortured like this?
hvd.32044011472404	Oh, just one more question: do you know the man's name? ” “ No.
hvd.32044011472404	Only, it did n't come off l ’ ” 88 THE EIGHT STROKES OF THE CLOCK “ What do you mean?

hvd.32044011472404	Ré- nine turned to the two women: “ That is your opinion too, I am sure, ladies? ” They nodded.
hvd.32044011472404	Rénine finished her sentence for her, “ Until the moment when they came and told you, I suppose? ” Thérèse stammered: “ Yes.
hvd.32044011472404	Rénine whispered: “ Now's the time to go in. ” In among all those infuriated people? ” protested Hortense.
hvd.32044011472404	Rénine, how- ever, said to Gaston Dutreuil: “ So far as I remember, the numbers of the notes are known, are n't they? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044011472404	Rénine, who had asked Hortense several questions to which she had replied only in monosyllables, protested: “ What's the matter with you, my child?
hvd.32044011472404	Shall we go up? ” She did not hesitate.
hvd.32044011472404	She must be beside herself with grief. ” “ Can I offer you my assistance?
hvd.32044011472404	She ran to him, greatly excited: “ I ’m going. ” “ But why? ” “ I want to know.
hvd.32044011472404	She was staggering and very pale; and she said, in a faint voice: “ Are we going?
hvd.32044011472404	She whispered: “ Why did you let the woman go?
hvd.32044011472404	Sign the deed. ” M. d’Aigleroche gave a start: “ Do you know the amount? ” “ I do n't wish to know it. ” “ And if I refuse?

hvd.32044011472404	So I am free, am I not?
hvd.32044011472404	So he remained here all day. ” “ Alone? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044011472404	So he tried to pass himself off as dead?
hvd.32044011472404	So you will be able to show me?
hvd.32044011472404	Sup- posing that she ran away: did the wide world con- tain a retreat in which she would be safe from his pursuit?
hvd.32044011472404	That is your idea, sir, is it not?
hvd.32044011472404	That is your whole story, is it not, told in a few sentences?
hvd.32044011472404	That's it, is n't it?
hvd.32044011472404	That's what I am doing. ” “ That amounts to saying that you are going upon a supposition? ” Rénine did not reply.
hvd.32044011472404	The authori- ties are making a search. ” “ Where? ” “ At the château.
hvd.32044011472404	The insurance- policy in fa- vour of the survivor?
hvd.32044011472404	The mother stammered: “ He ’s not guilty, is he, sir?
hvd.32044011472404	The motive of the crime?

hvd.32044011472404	Then it was you who hid him last night?
hvd.32044011472404	Then what could she do against him?
hvd.32044011472404	Then where can Mathias de Gorne be? ” “ But the well.
hvd.32044011472404	They were going to travel by the express. ” “ Arrested?

hvd.32044011472404	Two hours which I spent at the cinema. ” “ Or somewhere else. ” Dutreuil looked at him: “ Somewhere else? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044011472404	Unfortunately, you have forgotten a point of the first importance: what became of Mathias de Gorne?
hvd.32044011472404	Was M. d’Aigleroche penniless?
hvd.32044011472404	Was it interesting? ” “ Extremely.
hvd.32044011472404	Was it not probable that the horrible business would be repeated in accordance with the murderer's secret intentions?
hvd.32044011472404	Was she too killed and thrown down the well like her husband? ” “ No, ” carried off.
hvd.32044011472404	Was this suggestion accidental?
hvd.32044011472404	We are sure, are we not, that the Christian names of all the victims offer the same peculiarities?
hvd.32044011472404	We discovered the strangest things. ”- “ What things? ” asked the count, looking at his watch.

hvd.32044011472404	Were you satisfied with her statement? ” “ I do n't need to be satisfied.

hvd.32044011472404	What can we ask of him?
hvd.32044011472404	What clues have you to go by? ” Rénine looked at his watch: “ I have not understood everything, ” he said.
hvd.32044011472404	What did I tell you?
hvd.32044011472404	What did he mean?
hvd.32044011472404	What do out- ward appearances matter?

hvd.32044011472404	What do you intend to do? ” “ To do? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044011472404	What do you say? ” It was difficult to tell what these words meant or what conclusions Rénine had drawn from his conversation.
hvd.32044011472404	What do you think I know? ” “ The truth!
hvd.32044011472404	What does it matter what any one saw or did not see?

hvd.32044011472404	What was Prince Rénine going to do?
hvd.32044011472404	What was his name and what the survivor's?
hvd.32044011472404	What was the motive of that mar- riage?
hvd.32044011472404	What was the purport of this offer which he made so seriously, like a friend who asks nothing but to prove his devotion?
hvd.32044011472404	What was the qual- ity, or the defect, or the sign needed to induce the lady with the hatchet to strike?
hvd.32044011472404	What would be the outcome of the experiment on which he was venturing?
hvd.32044011472404	What would be the outcome of this criminal love for a thief and murderer? ” A few minutes passed.
hvd.32044011472404	What you are saying to yourself is, “ How far does that lover of adventures want to make me go?
hvd.32044011472404	What's that to me? ” “ Listen, ” said Rénine, “ and let us waste no time.
hvd.32044011472404	What's the matter? ” mum- bled Gaston Dutreuil, staggering.
hvd.32044011472404	What's the use of millions?

hvd.32044011472404	Who are you, after all?
hvd.32044011472404	Who brought them here?

hvd.32044011472404	Without them, he will laugh in my face. ” “ What then? ” murmured Hortense, in anguished aCCentS.

hvd.32044011472404	“ Are you satisfied with me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Are you satisfied? ” whispered Rénine.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Are you wanting anything in particular, madam? ” asked M. Pancaldi, closing his desk and rising from his chair.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Did n't I hear the sound of a window? ” “ Listen. ” Some one struck a few chords on a piano.

hvd.32044011472404	“ Has he two names then? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Have I not the right to receive whom I like? ” “ You have the right; you are a free agent.

hvd.32044011472404	“ He has killed himself! ” “ How can he have killed himself? ” said Rénine.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Here?

hvd.32044011472404	“ Shall we examine those footprints together, Mr. Deputy? ” asked Rénine.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Suppose we went on to the prefecture, M. Moris- seau?

hvd.32044011472404	“ Well, what then?
hvd.32044011472404	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Well? ” she asked, quivering with curiosity.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Well? ” “ Well, I'm acting as though I knew.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What about that business with the ducks at tem francs apiece: do n't you call that thieving? ” “ Hold your tongue, you low creature!
hvd.32044011472404	“ What did he do?
hvd.32044011472404	“ What do I care? ” “ They have a warrant. ” He folded his arms: “ Shut up with your piffle!
hvd.32044011472404	“ What do you mean? ” “ Turn round. ” She did so.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What do you think of it, M. Vignal? ” “ It is a theory which flashed through my own mind.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What does this mean? ” asked the young man.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What is there peculiar about him? ” asked Hor- tenSe.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What other thing? ” “ My death. ” “ You lie! ” cried Madame Astaing.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What was the idea?
hvd.32044011472404	“ What was your husband? ” he asked, after beg- ging the mother and Gaston Dutreuil to preserve absolute silence.
hvd.32044011472404	“ What's that?
hvd.32044011472404	“ What's the meaning of this? ” he muttered.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Where's my son? ” he cried.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Who is he? ” “ One Dalbrèque, a scoundrel for whom we were looking. ” Rénine was beside himself.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Why Jean Vaurois, if he's a d'Imbleval?'
hvd.32044011472404	“ Why Louis d'Im- bleval, if he's a Vaurois? ’ retorted the other.

hvd.32044011472404	“ Why not?
hvd.32044011472404	“ Will this path take us to Routot? ” ask Ré- nine, in order to open a conversation with them.
hvd.32044011472404	“ Will you go down with me?
hvd.32044011472404	“ Without delay?
hvd.32044011472404	“ You can do nothing for her, can you? ” asked Hortense.
hvd.32044011472404	“ You hope, as I do, that you and I may never have any future dealings?
hvd.32044011472404	“ You ’re positive, are you not? ” the inspector asked Rénine.
hvd.32044011472404	“ ‘ No, the father lives at the far end of the village, on a lonely farm. ’ “ ‘ And is Master Mathias jealous?'
hvd.32044011472404	“ ‘ What, the father neither?'
hvd.hn5sfl	The man with the limp,'” he said, and slowly rose to his feet- “ what do you know of the man with the limp?"
hvd.hn5sfl	By the way,I said, “ have you Oriental guests with you, at the moment? ” M. Samarkan raised his heavy eyebrows.
hvd.hn5sfl	Eh?
hvd.hn5sfl	Have you a knife with a corkscrew in it? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5sfl I only returned in time to see our Fenimore Cooper friend retreating through the window,"he replied; “ but no doubt you had a good look at him?"
hvd.hn5sfl	Shall you open it now?
hvd.hn5sfl	You jealous, eh, Charlie? ” she said. hvd.hn5sfl 100 ZARMI REAPPEARS 103 al “ What do you mean, Smith?

hvd.hn5sfl	Above all, what could their presence there at that time portend?
hvd.hn5sfl	An ayah?
hvd.hn5sfl	And can this be my fee?
hvd.hn5sfl	As the door closed “ Unless what, Smith? ” I said, looking my friend squarely in the eyes.
hvd.hn5sfl	But I thought the Fu- Manchu case was off the books long ago?
hvd.hn5sfl	But what does it all mean?
hvd.hn5sfl	But"- I found my- self confronted by a new problem-“what caused his death?"
hvd.hn5sfl	By what right did I presume to force my way into other people's apartments?

hvd.hn5sfl	Could it be that the Café de l'Egypte was the place of her captivity?
hvd.hn5sfl	Did you observe, Petrie, if her eyes were oblique at all?"
hvd.hn5sfl	Do n't you understand?
hvd.hn5sfl	Have you any suggestion to offer ro- specting it?"
hvd.hn5sfl	How did he die?
hvd.hn5sfl	How did he die?
hvd.hn5sfl	How do we proceed?"
hvd.hn5sfl	How had they been introduced, and by whom?
hvd.hn5sfl	How much were you paid for the job?"
hvd.hn5sfl	How should I act?
hvd.hn5sfl	How was the Flower of Silence introduced into his closely guarded room?".
hvd.hn5sfl	I MEET DR. FU- MANCHU 121 “ But,"reiterated the other, his voice rising higher and higher, “ what does it mean, my dear sir?
hvd.hn5sfl	I demanded ex- citedly —"are n't you going to open it?"
hvd.hn5sfl	I do n't know what it can have been"“ Where did this attack take place?"
hvd.hn5sfl	I have suspected as much for a long time. ” “ Was this the object of our visit here?"
hvd.hn5sfl	I said, “ of Half- Moon Street?
hvd.hn5sfl	I turned to him, momentarily at a loss for words; then —"Was this the object of our journey?"
hvd.hn5sfl	I understand, sir, that you believe him to have been a high official of this dangerous society?
hvd.hn5sfl	I was past greater amazement; but — “ This lady can be no longer young, then?"
hvd.hn5sfl	I whispered huskily-“God forgive me, what have I done?
hvd.hn5sfl	I whispered"what was it?
hvd.hn5sfl	It was a curious case, was n't it, Lewison?"
hvd.hn5sfl	My friend having ordered cocktails “ And now perhaps you will explain to me the reason for your mysterious behavior?"

hvd.hn5sfl	Shall you open the brass chest? ” “ At present, decidedly no.

hvd.hn5sfl	Then “ Do you hear anything, Petrie? ” he rapped.
hvd.hn5sfl	This one a strong feller?
hvd.hn5sfl	To what strange adventure were we committed?
hvd.hn5sfl	To whom were you to deliver the box?
hvd.hn5sfl	What can we do?
hvd.hn5sfl	What did he come for?
hvd.hn5sfl	What did it all mean?

hvd.hn5sfl	What have you done with him?
hvd.hn5sfl	What roof in broad England sheltered Karamanèh, the companion of my dreams, the desire of every waking hour?
hvd.hn5sfl	What was coming?

hvd.hn5sfl	What was the Si- Fan?
hvd.hn5sfl	What was the meaning of the sound which had dis- turbed me?
hvd.hn5sfl	What was the meaning of the whole solemn farce?"
hvd.hn5sfl	What's afoot, then?"
hvd.hn5sfl	Where did the dreadful Chinaman hide, with his murderers, his poisons, and his nameless death agents?
hvd.hn5sfl	Where had I previously encountered the glance of those splendid, savage eyes?
hvd.hn5sfl	Where is he?"
hvd.hn5sfl	Where, and when, had I met their glance before?
hvd.hn5sfl	Who could this late caller be, this midnight visitor who rapped, ghostly, in preference to ringing the bell?
hvd.hn5sfl	Who had killed him?
hvd.hn5sfl	Who was the “ man with the limp"?
hvd.hn5sfl	Why do you ask? ” “ Because I strongly suspect that we have to do with none other than Fu- Manchu's daughter!
hvd.hn5sfl	Why is he so confident?
hvd.hn5sfl	Why the long harangue and the pose of friendship?"
hvd.hn5sfl	You experience this?
hvd.hn5sfl	You remember Summers, the Suez Canal pilot whom you met at Ismailia two years ago?
hvd.hn5sfl	You see?"
hvd.hn5sfl	You understand?"
hvd.hn5sfl	and what has happened to him?"
hvd.hn5sfl	can it be Hale? ” he muttered.
hvd.hn5sfl	can we make no move to round up the devils who defy us, here in the very heart of civilized England?

hvd.hn5sfl	he demanded;"and what busi- ness have you with the Si- Fan?"

hvd.hn5sfl	what does it mean? ”.
hvd.hn5sfl	what has happened?"
hvd.hn5sfl	what is it?"
hvd.hn5sfl	what's that? ” he whispered.
hvd.hn5sfl	what's that?"
hvd.hn5sfl	when and where?"
hvd.hn5sfl	— my dear sir, in mercy tell me what does this mean?
hvd.hn5sfl	— what have you learnt? ” “ Mind these three steps,"warned Smith, glancing back.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ A sort of tapping?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Afraid? ”"Exactly; afraid.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Am I alive?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ And that was?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ And what aroused your suspicions? ” said Smith.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ And who paid you? ” Now we were come to the nub of the matter, as the change in the man's face revealed.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Are n't you going to open it?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Are you satisfied, ” she said, speaking unemotion- ally, “ or,"holding up her wrists, “ would you like to handcuff me?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Besides, sir,"he said, “ you say he came to de- posit valuables of some kind here? ” “ Yes, yes! ” I cried eagerly.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ But the term has some other significance, sir?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ But, Smith, why did you direct me to- night to repeat the words, ‘ Sâkya Mûni'? ”.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Can you do it?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Do n't give up hopel We are not going to be beaten! ” “ Smith,"I interrupted bitterly, “ what chance have we?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Do you understand?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Doctor Petrie? ” she asked, nervously, as we descended.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Eh, sniping?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Eh? ” cried Nayland Smith, in turn leaping to his feet.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Flowers, sir?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ For God's sake what has happened, Petrie?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ For God's sake, what does it mean? ” said In- spector Weymouth in a voice hushed with wonder.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ For what reason?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Has the real head of affairs arrived, then?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Have any flowers been brought into the room to- day, Beeton?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Have you a button- hook, Petrie, ” he asked,"or anything of that nature? ” “ How will this do?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Have you a button- hook, Petrie, ” he asked,"or anything of that nature? ” “ How will this do?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Have you smelt the petals?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ How did he get in?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ How in Heaven's name did he get in?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ How is Mr. Smith? ” “ Still insensible,"was the reply.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ How should you act in the circumstances, Petrie?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Hurt much? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Inspector Weymouth? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Is he mad? ” Nayland Smith's gaiety left him; he became sud- denly stern and grim.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Is this what mystifies a you? ” Stooping, he picked up the metal contrivance, and almost savagely jerked open the top section.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Merciful heavens! ” he said, “ am I mad — or did I really perform that operation?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Might I invite you to accompany me into the bedroom yonder for a moment?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Not a certain Oriental lady?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Petrie, Petrie! ” he cried, “ where are you?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Petrie,"he began in his abrupt fashion, “ I am losing confidence in myself. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Possibly monsieur has seen one of the ayahs?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Quite right! ” snapped Smith;"but you are sure the cab is from the Yard?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ See anything?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Smith! ” I began,"for Heaven's sake what are you about?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Tell me what hurt you?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ The Flower of Silence?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ The Oriental Navigation Company's boat?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ There's some one following us! ” “ Can you see any one? ” called Barton sharply.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ These private rooms, What you doing here?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Very,"agreed the other absently; then “ Have you endeavored to open this box, Mr. Smith?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Was she safe in Egypt? ” he rapped.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Well,"I said, “ what has Zagazig to do with Fu- Manchu, or to do with us? ”.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What d'you mean?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What do you make of it? ” I said slowly.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What do you think, Lewison? ” he added, glancing over his shoulder at the clerk who accom- panied him.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What does it all mean?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What does it mean?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What does it mean? ” I demanded breath.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What is it, Kennedy?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What is she like? ” I asked eagerly.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What is the Si- Fan?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What is the meaning of Si- Fan?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What is the nature of this clue? ”.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What time was that?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What time?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ What?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Where are we?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Where is this place situated, exactly?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Where the devil do they go? ” he whispered.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who are you?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who are you?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who can not speak?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who is this Ismail?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who or what is this Si- Fan at whose existence you hint?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who's there? ” I cried again, and loudly enough to arrest the attention of the occupant of the cham- bers opposite if he chanced to be at home.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who's there? ” I cried again, and, crossing the room, I threw open the door.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Who's there?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Why?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Will you oblige me by telephoning for Inspector Weymouth?
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You also, Weymouth? ” Smith leading, we entered the room where the dead man lay stretched upon the bed.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You are interested in this, then?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You blinger fliend, Charlie? ” he squeaked in a thin, piping voice.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You did not break that stalk?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You did not say he was dead?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You do something for me- eh? ” “ Yep,"replied Fletcher nonchalantly, watering the rum in the tumblers.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You mean...?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You recall his brother, Petrie?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You see the mark, Petrie? ” he snapped.
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You see, old man? ” cried Smith eagerly."
hvd.hn5sfl	“ You were in charge of the prisoner Samarkan?"
hvd.hn5sfl	“ Your reference to a rendezvous'was presumably addressed to a hypothetical spy?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Ai n't that what I been tellin'you? ” he retorted. hvd.hn1kpk But suppose that I tell'em that you had a key to Morris Beiner's office, hey?
hvd.hn1kpk	Did I? ” She laughed. hvd.hn1kpk Do n't suppose the details interest you, Sophie? ” said Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	For simply doing what I ought to do? hvd.hn1kpk Forgive you?
hvd.hn1kpk	Has Vandervent annoyed you? hvd.hn1kpk Has n't she put you in the way of an investment for a client?
hvd.hn1kpk	Her paintings? hvd.hn1kpk How dare you? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	How did you happen to know that I was here? ” asked Clancy. hvd.hn1kpk I guess that she thought she owed it to me- after last night. ” “ What do you mean? ” Randall's eyes lowered.
hvd.hn1kpk	I guess that would n't bother you, would it, Mr. Randall? hvd.hn1kpk I mean, your eyesight is perfectly good? ”"I saw you,"he said bluntly.
hvd.hn1kpk	I'll just bet you'd'a'beaned me one with that as soon as not, eh, Miss Deane? ” Clancy suddenly grew cautious. hvd.hn1kpk It's it's pretty hard to explain murder, is n't it? ” Randall's lower jaw hung down.
hvd.hn1kpk	No? ” said Clancy. hvd.hn1kpk Spy- ing on me, eh? ” The moonlight fell upon the face of the man who held the horse's head.
hvd.hn1kpk	Then who did send for him? hvd.hn1kpk Was that clever?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Well, even if you can prove it, what then? ” His visitor shrugged. hvd.hn1kpk Well, why should I have been the one to be rude?
hvd.hn1kpk	What do they know? ” she demanded. hvd.hn1kpk Where shall I henpeck you then, Tommy boy?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Who's down- stairs? ” “ You'tend to your own affairs, ” came her hus- band's answer. hvd.hn1kpk Why do that, kid?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why, Florine, I've seen them come to this town all hopped up with ambition and talent and every- 42 FIND THE WOMAN thing, and where do they land? hvd.hn1kpk You a friend of the big blond girl that you came in with? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	You knew? ” “ That we'd meet again, ” he said bravely. hvd.hn1kpk You — I do n't suppose you'd care to go to the theater or anything? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	'Florine?"
hvd.hn1kpk	'Morris Beiner?
hvd.hn1kpk	- Had n't Spofford been a little too ingenuous?

hvd.hn1kpk	Ai n't Sam and I been watchin'you tobogganing with that fat old Walbrough dame all afternoon? ” “ Why did n't you join us? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Ai n't he workin'hand in glove with her? ” Carey wheeled toward Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Amachoor, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	An actress, or somebody that wants to be an actress; well, where would she be livin'?
hvd.hn1kpk	An- swer me that, will you? ”"I told her,"said Vandervent shortly.
hvd.hn1kpk	And I did n't want you to do anything foolish. ” “'Foolish?"
hvd.hn1kpk	And I have n't seen him since. ” “ You'd stick to that — in a court- room? ” Clancy laughed.
hvd.hn1kpk	And I'm leaving to- day. ”"Where for? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	And ai n't he laid off her?
hvd.hn1kpk	And did n't she herself know that she had talent to back up her good looks?
hvd.hn1kpk	And how could Sophie Carey respect this weak sot?
hvd.hn1kpk	And if he believed in her innocence “ How do you know I did n't do it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	And if he must do it, why does he marry a Broadway doll that ca n't keep her face closed?
hvd.hn1kpk	And if we were certain of open scandal, surely you do n't think that would matter? ” he asked, suddenly reproachful.
hvd.hn1kpk	And is n't your maid here? ” “ I think she's gone by now, ” said Mrs. Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	And there's a bunch in not going to him,"said Beiner, “ Who's going to give it to me? ” demanded Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	And those eyes?
hvd.hn1kpk	And those who make it are spending it. ” “ But is n't every one spending, not only the million- aires?"
hvd.hn1kpk	And who shall say that it is not more sensible in this than age, which, knowing life's inevitability of act and consequence, is without hope?
hvd.hn1kpk	And why did Ike send you to me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	And why not?
hvd.hn1kpk	And would the police believe her story?
hvd.hn1kpk	And your hair?
hvd.hn1kpk	And — if he'd proposed sudden marriage, what would you have done? ” “'Marriage?
hvd.hn1kpk	And — if he'd proposed sudden marriage, what would you have done? ” “'Marriage?
hvd.hn1kpk	And, say — how did Miss Deane happen to guess what I was hangin'around for?
hvd.hn1kpk	Are you tellin'me all you know?
hvd.hn1kpk	As if you'd have a brother almost fifty. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1kpk	At six?
hvd.hn1kpk	At what?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Before yielding to either emotional impulse, why not analyze the situation?
hvd.hn1kpk	But I have some liqueurs?"
hvd.hn1kpk	But a woman escaped through the window of Beiner's office you've read the case?
hvd.hn1kpk	But another time?
hvd.hn1kpk	But how could he have known that Garland was inside with Carey?
hvd.hn1kpk	But how, immured in some country home, was she to learn more?
hvd.hn1kpk	But the girls that look out for the kale, that never asked,"What?'
hvd.hn1kpk	But what was it?
hvd.hn1kpk	But what's the good?
hvd.hn1kpk	But why be nasty?
hvd.hn1kpk	But why had Spofford been waiting outside?
hvd.hn1kpk	But why the gift?
hvd.hn1kpk	But would that some one come forward and admit his or her guilt to free Clancy Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	But — would he mean what he said five minutes from now?
hvd.hn1kpk	But, before you say it, you'd like to be quite certain of your facts, would n't you? ” Spofford nodded; his forehead wrinkled.
hvd.hn1kpk	But- that does n't help us, does it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	But- you'd like to know who killed this Beiner guy, would n't you?
hvd.hn1kpk	Can I see you right away? ” Clancy vaguely wondered where Zenda had pro- cured her working- address.
hvd.hn1kpk	Can you keep your mouth shut?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Carey?
hvd.hn1kpk	Cheerfully?
hvd.hn1kpk	Come up, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1kpk	Consequences?
hvd.hn1kpk	Could it be that he had some slight suspicion of Don Carey?
hvd.hn1kpk	Could this delay have been because he knew that Garland was inside the house, and because he did not wish to encounter him?
hvd.hn1kpk	D'ye hear that, Garland? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1kpk	Dance, Florine?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Darned few of them here to- day, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	Did I say anything I should n't, Sophie darling?
hvd.hn1kpk	Did I tell Zenda that I knew you?
hvd.hn1kpk	Did he insult you? ” Clancy looked up.
hvd.hn1kpk	Did n't Fanny DeLisle tell you I was a good old scout? ”"She said that you were a very competent agent,"said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Did n't he tell me to keep my trap closed about seein'her go to Beiner's office?
hvd.hn1kpk	Did n't our hitherto immune David be come infected with the virus of love the moment he saw you? ” Clancy looked prim.
hvd.hn1kpk	Did you notice Ike's eyes?
hvd.hn1kpk	Do I assume too much? ” Slowly Clancy turned until she faced him.
hvd.hn1kpk	Do I look like a guy that was just cuttin'his first teeth?
hvd.hn1kpk	Do n't you think so? ” Clancy gasped.
hvd.hn1kpk	Do you know why he's watch- ing me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Do you want her to keep think- ing how nice he is? ” “ Well, in the name of heaven, why not? ” demanded her exasperated husband.
hvd.hn1kpk	Do you want her to keep think- ing how nice he is? ” “ Well, in the name of heaven, why not? ” demanded her exasperated husband.
hvd.hn1kpk	Does one forget in twenty- four hours a man who has proposed? ” “ There are degrees of forgetfulness,"he said.
hvd.hn1kpk	Doing it now on the Beiner murder. ” “ On what?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Don Carey, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	Drink?
hvd.hn1kpk	Eh, Zenda?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Ever been in the movies at all?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Excuse me, lady; but where do you get your humor? ” Vandervent wheeled and glared at the man.
hvd.hn1kpk	FIND THE WOMAN 33 “ From the country, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	FIND THE WOMAN 97 “ Dance? ” Grannis asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	Farrar was in excellent voice to- night, did n't you think?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Fay Marston? ” Once more she shook her head.
hvd.hn1kpk	Finish your spiel, eh? ” He raised his 244 FIND THE WOMAN pudgy hand quickly.
hvd.hn1kpk	Get me?
hvd.hn1kpk	Get me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Get me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	God bless me — what do you mean? ” “ Asking again and again what Phil Vandervent meant when he said that he knew a way to avoid publicity.
hvd.hn1kpk	God gives us good looks; why should n't we use them?
hvd.hn1kpk	Got it?
hvd.hn1kpk	Had n't she always taken good pictures?
hvd.hn1kpk	Have a cigarette? ” Clancy shook her head.
hvd.hn1kpk	Have it?
hvd.hn1kpk	Having admitted that much to the police, would they believe the rest of her story?
hvd.hn1kpk	He says that a young lady answering your description called on me to- day. ”"Did you need verification, Zenda? ” asked the judge angrily.
hvd.hn1kpk	He threw a question at Clancy, “ Powder your nose? ” He took it for granted that she would, and said: “ I'll be up- stairs.
hvd.hn1kpk	Hell broke loose. ” “ The police? ” asked Clancy, shivering.
hvd.hn1kpk	Help you with your bag, ma'am? ” “ Of course. ” It was with a quite careless air that she replied.
hvd.hn1kpk	Him carryin'a revolver? ” “ There are worse things than revolvers, Ragan,"said his mistress.
hvd.hn1kpk	Hm; that might be it. ” “ What might be it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	How about giving old papa Beiner a little kiss, just to show you did n't mean what you just said?"
hvd.hn1kpk	How about it, Florine? ” He drew her closer to him as he spoke.
hvd.hn1kpk	How are the buck- wheat cakes? ” “ Fine!"
hvd.hn1kpk	How can they?
hvd.hn1kpk	How can you teach a girl that ai n't a lady to act like one?
hvd.hn1kpk	How could a man be expected to understand?
hvd.hn1kpk	How could he know anything of her and her connection with either Zenda or Beiner?
hvd.hn1kpk	How could she be blamed?
hvd.hn1kpk	How did she know that those threats were founded upon any truth?
hvd.hn1kpk	How did you do it? ” Clancy shrugged carelessly.
hvd.hn1kpk	How is Fanchon?
hvd.hn1kpk	How long must the people of the greatest city in the world feel that their Police Department is incompetent?
hvd.hn1kpk	How long must this continue?
hvd.hn1kpk	How'd you happen to meet her?"
hvd.hn1kpk	How's Maria?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Hurry along, will you?
hvd.hn1kpk	I do n't sup- pose that your bank- roll would make a mosquito strain its larynx, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	I expected — I'm glad- What a terrible storm- so much snow- in a few hours — Was n't it fun- last night?"
hvd.hn1kpk	I get this elevator- man from the Heber- worth Building to come down to your living- place- “ How did you know where I lived?"
hvd.hn1kpk	I have n't met you, have I? ” The direct lie was something that Clancy ab horrede hardly ever in her life had she uttered one.
hvd.hn1kpk	I live____*"You've moved? ” “ Yes, ” she answered.
hvd.hn1kpk	I'll be they FIND THE WOMAN gettin'mine, all right, too,'So now you see, do n't you? ” · Clancy rose slowly to her feet.
hvd.hn1kpk	If he knew of her visits to Beiner, why did he bring her here?
hvd.hn1kpk	If we could be more specific in our reading than this, would our lives be much different?
hvd.hn1kpk	If you know that she explained things to Mr. Vandervent, why'd you ask me why I was watchin'? ” Judge Walbrough chuckled again.
hvd.hn1kpk	If you're frightened"“'Frightened?
hvd.hn1kpk	Ike Weber steer you against it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Ike and I are leavin'town"“ You?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Ike never done anything to you, did he? ” Clancy shrugged."
hvd.hn1kpk	In that case What about that case?
hvd.hn1kpk	Ingénue, eh? ” He pro- nounced it"anjenoo. ” He tapped his stubby, broken- nailed fingers upon the edge of his desk.

hvd.hn1kpk	Is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Is n't there some place where we can go and talk? ”"You seem to be talking quite clearly here,"said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	It ai n't a place where you are ac- quainted with people; you love'em. ” “ Or hate'em? ” suggested Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	It had all been convincing when Spofford had FIND THE WOMAN 251 Did she want that?
hvd.hn1kpk	It is magnificent, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpk	It looked like something, eh?

hvd.hn1kpk	Just for to- night?
hvd.hn1kpk	Know'em?
hvd.hn1kpk	Mabel, what did he do? ” His wife answered, never taking her eyes from Weber.
hvd.hn1kpk	May I come in? ” Clancy switched on the light.
hvd.hn1kpk	May she talk?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Motive, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	Mrs. Sophie Carey, the artist?
hvd.hn1kpk	Never thought of trying pictures, did you? ” “ Not- seriously, ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	No hard feelin's? ” “ None at all, ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Now — where's Ike?
hvd.hn1kpk	Now, I figure it out to myself: If Miss Ladue's mother wired her, and the wire made Miss Ladue pack her stuff and beat it, why did n't she go home?
hvd.hn1kpk	Now, as for the expense- if you feel that way, we'll arrange what's fair. ” “ You really want me? ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Now-will you take ten thousand and- get? ” Clancy was beaten; she knew it; at least, she had lost the second round.
hvd.hn1kpk	Of course, Judge Wal- brough and Zenda did n't know that a woman named Florine Ladue was wanted for Beiner's murder; but still “'On the screen?
hvd.hn1kpk	Of course, she would incur the enmity of Ike Weber, but what difference did that make?
hvd.hn1kpk	Oh, well, it do n't matter to us, does it, Florine?
hvd.hn1kpk	On the stage? ” “ I expect to enter the movies, ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Only- you promise to stay three months? ” “ I promise, ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Only”—and his voice lost its mocking tones and became reproachful- “ was that the square way to treat her friend Morris?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Otherwise, you would not be jealous of me. ” “ Jealous? ” Clancy was indignant.
hvd.hn1kpk	Part of the Vander- vent estate, is n't it, Randall? ” Randall shook his head.
hvd.hn1kpk	Played in"The Rivals'once? ” He took the cigar from his mouth and shook it at her.
hvd.hn1kpk	Portland FIND THE WOMAN che consul checks?
hvd.hn1kpk	Pretty good? ” Clancy nodded.
hvd.hn1kpk	Ready?
hvd.hn1kpk	Repeat it?
hvd.hn1kpk	Right away?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Say, Frank, you wanted an anjenoo, did n't you?
hvd.hn1kpk	Say, is n't this the Carey house?
hvd.hn1kpk	Say, look here, Miss Deane: Loosen up, won'tcha?
hvd.hn1kpk	She did n't happen to say that anybody that tried to trim old Morris was liable to get their hair cut, did she?"
hvd.hn1kpk	She had avoided the police for a day- but how much longer could she hope to do so?
hvd.hn1kpk	She had not killed him, but — who had?
hvd.hn1kpk	She might escape from the present net, but what nets would the demon set for her in the years to come?
hvd.hn1kpk	She never mentions it, or refers to her work-"Have you seen it? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	She would always owe the older woman gratitude, but “ Not fair, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	Should a particu- lar girl earn less than the other kind?
hvd.hn1kpk	So now, you see, Florine, how you and me can do a little business. ” “ How? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Spanish for Maggie Smith?
hvd.hn1kpk	Stage- dances, I mean, No?
hvd.hn1kpk	Still, that'd be easy, you not havin'seen any game at all, would n't it?
hvd.hn1kpk	Suppose I did promise a few girls jobs that they never got?
hvd.hn1kpk	Suppose I get him on the telephone? ” He did n't wait for Clancy to reply.
hvd.hn1kpk	Suppose I put my cards right down where you can see'em, Florine? ” She could only stare at him dumbly.
hvd.hn1kpk	Suppose I tell'em that, hey?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Tell me are you engaged, in love, or anything? ” Clancy shook her head.
hvd.hn1kpk	Tell me, Miss Deane: You have Irish blood in you? ” “ My first name is Clancy,"replied the girl.
hvd.hn1kpk	Tell me, what did Garland say to you? ” “ “ Garland?!
hvd.hn1kpk	Tell me, what did Garland say to you? ” “ “ Garland?!
hvd.hn1kpk	That the Ladue woman commit- ted the murder?
hvd.hn1kpk	That, after all, is hope, is n't it, Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	The Era would n't drag her into a nasty scandal, would it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	The business?
hvd.hn1kpk	The police would remind her of it, would n't they?
hvd.hn1kpk	The rest was makeshift, a stop- gap until- until what?
hvd.hn1kpk	Then I saw you, and you- tell me: 164 FIND THE WOMAN why did you faint? ” He put the question suddenly.
hvd.hn1kpk	Then why did he dare do something that indicated disloyalty to his associate?
hvd.hn1kpk	Then why, the next question is, did Miss Ladue put 242 FIND THE WOMAN over that fake?
hvd.hn1kpk	Then, louder, he said: “ Fooled you with that little berry bet, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	Therefore, why cringe?
hvd.hn1kpk	This is Judge Walbrough speak- ing. ” 172 FIND THE WOMAN “ Oh, how do you do? ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	This lying, blackmailing thing to frighten Clancy Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	This your first Broadway party? ” “ I never saw New York until this afternoon,"she confessed.
hvd.hn1kpk	To run out upon the street and call for a policeman?
hvd.hn1kpk	To telephone Vandervent, the judge?
hvd.hn1kpk	Understand?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Very. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Vulgar, Fay Mars- ton might be — but vicious?
hvd.hn1kpk	Walbrough, do you know I have n't the faintest idea what you're talking about?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Want to come along with me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Want to come? ” “ To Mr. Zenda's apartment?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Want to come? ” “ To Mr. Zenda's apartment?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Want to talk with him? ” Like a flash Clancy replied,"No."
hvd.hn1kpk	Was it past?
hvd.hn1kpk	Was n't I watchin'outside?
hvd.hn1kpk	Was n't Mr. Vandervent satisfied with her explanation? ” de- manded the judge.
hvd.hn1kpk	Was n't it them that just left the house? ” “ Yes, ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Was n't she innocent of any wrong- doing?
hvd.hn1kpk	Was she, Clancy Deane, lacking in a sense of humor?
hvd.hn1kpk	We've sent a wire to her asking her to tell us where we can find the woman, Florine Ladue. ” “ Are are you sure?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Well, Florine, what makes you want to go into the movies? ” Clancy looked bewildered.
hvd.hn1kpk	Well, what difference would it make?
hvd.hn1kpk	Well, you ca n't help it if you're beautiful, can you?
hvd.hn1kpk	What about it?
hvd.hn1kpk	What did Zenda matter?
hvd.hn1kpk	What did a couple of dollars more or less matter to her?
hvd.hn1kpk	What did anything matter?
hvd.hn1kpk	What difference does it make?
hvd.hn1kpk	What do you care what Zenda thinks? ” “ What do I care? ” Clancy was amazed.
hvd.hn1kpk	What do you care what Zenda thinks? ” “ What do I care? ” Clancy was amazed.
hvd.hn1kpk	What do you care?
hvd.hn1kpk	What do you know about interior decorating?"
hvd.hn1kpk	What do you mean? ” Clancy sat bolt upright on the sofa.
hvd.hn1kpk	What had Spofford said?
hvd.hn1kpk	What had she to be concerned about?
hvd.hn1kpk	What happens?
hvd.hn1kpk	What ill fate had sent her to this place?
hvd.hn1kpk	What is it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	What on earth was there to be nervous about?
hvd.hn1kpk	What to do?
hvd.hn1kpk	What would they think in Zenith?
hvd.hn1kpk	What you meeting him for?
hvd.hn1kpk	What's the use of stallin'?
hvd.hn1kpk	What's yours?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Where are your stars of twenty years ago, of ten years ago, of five, when you come right down to it?
hvd.hn1kpk	Where do you do your sailing, Miss Deane? ” “ Zenith Harbor.
hvd.hn1kpk	Where is Mrs. Carey? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	Where you going now? ” “ To the railroad station, ” Clancy answered.
hvd.hn1kpk	Where's the tele- phone, Miss Deane?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Who were paying for them?
hvd.hn1kpk	Who's the lady? ” 310 FIND THE WOMAN “ Miss Deane,"said Vandervent.
hvd.hn1kpk	Whoever heard of a bride telling important secrets to her husband?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why be rude, anyway?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why did Ike Weber send you here? ” 38 FIND THE WOMAN Clancy's breath sucked in audibly.
hvd.hn1kpk	Why did he lie?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why did n't he denounce her to the police?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why did she do it?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why do n't you show some jazz? ” Guernsey shrugged.
hvd.hn1kpk	Why had Fay Marston not merely kept her marriage secret but searched for girls to entertain her own husband?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why had he expressed a certain surprise when Clancy had told him?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why had n't he come right up and rung the door- bell?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why had n't he thought of sending her roses?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why had n't she called to whoever had knocked upon the door and got him to break it down?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why had she been afraid of the possible scandal?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why not slip me a li'l 230 FIND THE WOMAN jack and let it go at that?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why not the world's greatest reporter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	Why not?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Why should I?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why should she worry?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why tell Zenda that Fay Marston practically confessed to you? ” “ So that Mr. Zenda wo n't think that that I'm dishonest! ” cried Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Why'd you send for him? ” “ I did n't, ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Why, had n't even Fay Marston last night told her that her skin alone would make her a film success?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why?
hvd.hn1kpk	Why? ” demanded Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	Why?"
hvd.hn1kpk	Wife of Don Carey?
hvd.hn1kpk	Will you let me dress you?
hvd.hn1kpk	Will you let me present him to you? ” Back in Zenith, no one had ever spoken to Clancy like this.
hvd.hn1kpk	Will you run over and dine with us?"
hvd.hn1kpk	With Phil Vandervent interested and the Walbroughs enthusi- astically enlisted on your side It was rather hard on David to- night, was n't it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	With that skin?
hvd.hn1kpk	With this? ” Mrs. Carey glanced down at the weapon in her hand.
hvd.hn1kpk	Would he give a promise that in honor he should not give?
hvd.hn1kpk	Would he knock the man down?
hvd.hn1kpk	Would he tem- porize?
hvd.hn1kpk	Would n't care to do a little posing?
hvd.hn1kpk	Would she avoid them all?
hvd.hn1kpk	Would they believe her?
hvd.hn1kpk	Would you like to go over the Tombs? ” Clancy shuddered.
hvd.hn1kpk	You ai n't afraid of me, are you? ” Clancy's heaving breast slowed down.
hvd.hn1kpk	You are n't going to let a young woman's name be dragged through a filthy mess like this, are you?"
hvd.hn1kpk	You ca n't blame me, now, can you? ” he asked apologet- ically.
hvd.hn1kpk	You do n't want to go to Zenda and tell him that Fay Marston admitted Ike was a crook, do you?
hvd.hn1kpk	You got your job? ” “ Oh, I will! ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	You have passed the test. ” “ Test?"
hvd.hn1kpk	You home? ” Clancy opened the door reluctantly.
hvd.hn1kpk	You know why?
hvd.hn1kpk	You realize that Miss Deane is innocent, do n't you? ” “ Certainly, ” said Vandervent.
hvd.hn1kpk	You really like it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	You talk about being sensible, but- why should n't I go to Mr. Zenda? ” “ Because there's no money in it.
hvd.hn1kpk	You will forgive me, wo n't you? ” He laughed.
hvd.hn1kpk	You would n't be mean to old papa Beiner that wants to see all little girls get along, would you?
hvd.hn1kpk	You'll be trying to find out who really killed Mr. Beiner? ” “ You may be sure of that, ” said Vandervent.
hvd.hn1kpk	You'll do. ” “ What sort of work is it? ” asked Clancy timidly.
hvd.hn1kpk	You'll live here? ” The offer opened up opportunities undreamed of by Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	You're going to marry one of the whitest-tell me, when was the engagement contracted? ” Clancy colored to the roots of her hair.
hvd.hn1kpk	Your address? ” “ Why? ” “ Because Zenda swears he's goin'to have Ike arrested.
hvd.hn1kpk	Your address? ” “ Why? ” “ Because Zenda swears he's goin'to have Ike arrested.
hvd.hn1kpk	Zenda ca n't do anything to you. ” “ He can keep me out of pictures, ca n't he?"
hvd.hn1kpk	but always,'How much?
hvd.hn1kpk	so FIND THE WOMAN 17 Did n't you meet her?
hvd.hn1kpk	you'll forgive me? ” She was conscious that she was pleading prettily.
hvd.hn1kpk	you're kinda blue, downhearted- see?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ A chance?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ A room? ” suggested Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Able?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Ai n't that like a thief, though?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And Garland? ” he asked finally.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And the faintin'—that was part of the joke, eh, lady?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And vice versa? ” suggested Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And what a Vandervent eats for breakfast makes snappy reading, I think you'd call it, for hoi polloi, eh? ” “ Continue.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And you think you can blackmail me? ” de manded Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And you wo n't marry me? ” “ Well, not now, at any rate,"she replied.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ And-Miss Deane, if I could fall in love with you in a week, so could other men. ” “ Are you proposing again?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Anjenoo, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Annoyin'her?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Are n't you curious?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Are you in the'Follies'? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Authoritative source, you said? ” questioned Van- dervent.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Bad news, miss? ” asked Paul.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Been in the city long?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Bless your sweet heart, did you think I was offer- ing you a place as cook?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ But I'm an of- ficer of the law, Judge. ” “ Does that mean that you wo n't help Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ But how do you expect to help it, though? ” “ By finding the real murderer. ” “ When? ” roared Walbrough.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ But how do you expect to help it, though? ” “ By finding the real murderer. ” “ When? ” roared Walbrough.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ But you- how does it happen you're here?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Can you come over to my office, Miss Deane? ” “ Yes, ” she replied.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Care to live here?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Carryin'much money? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Could n't you get work? ” he asked, abruptly.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Dance?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Did n't know we were playing for keeps, eh, Lal?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Did n’t Spofford go into your house yesterday and stay there with her an hour or so?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Did you notice that I used the word Sinsist? ” She leaned over and whispered.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Did your royal highness think I did n't show the proper respect to your high rank?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Do I frighten you? ” he asked dryly.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Do n't care whether I'm for you or not, eh? ” Clancy stared at him.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Do n't feel like talking, eh? ” She shrugged.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Do n't you suppose I know that?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Do you know why I really asked you to stay?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Done any acting? ”"I played in'The Rivals'at the high- school grad- uation, ” she confessed.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Eat? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Feel like a game? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Fix it up?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Get that? ” he chuckled.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Getting ahead with the work?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Going to find me a tenant? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Have you returned it? ” She had given it, for safe- keeping, into Wal- brough's hands last night.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Have you the right to let a man like Garland go free?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ He brags so much, I wanted to find out if he knew how. ” “ Does he?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Hello! ” “ Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Hildebloom there?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Hook me up, will you, kid?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How did they find out?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How did you know?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How much did you wish to pay, Mr. Grannis? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How much is that? ” whispered Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How'd you meet Fay?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How'd you meet him?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ How? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I mean — I do n't want to be rude, but “ Well? ” said Clancy coldly.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I want to know why you're annoying this young lady? ” “ Me? ” Spofford's mean eyes widened.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I want to know why you're annoying this young lady? ” “ Me? ” Spofford's mean eyes widened.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I — if you happened to know stenography- do you? ” ve rapidly: 1.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I'll never have to, will I? ” Into Grannis's dull eyes crept admiration.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I'm afraid that Spofford wo n't, but I will. ” “'Spofford? ” The man who was here? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I'm afraid that Spofford wo n't, but I will. ” “'Spofford? ” The man who was here? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I've made a list of firms that advertise for stenographers. ” “'Stenographer?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ I- I-would you want to marry me now?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is he overwhelmed? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is he watching you? ” Randall's surprise was palpably assumed.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is n't it? ” she agreed.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is n't there more smoke- trouble there?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is that so? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is there anything the matter with you? ” “ Matter with me? ” Randall stared at her.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is there anything the matter with you? ” “ Matter with me? ” Randall stared at her.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Is this Mr. Beiner? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Join you?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Judge Walbrough has been mighty nice to you, has n't he?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Judge Walbrough, you're the dearest, kindest_I ca n't let you do it. ” “ Do what?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Just how? ” Clancy inquired.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Kid, why have n't you been round to see Zenda? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Know what's over that way?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Like it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Like it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Like wild parties, Florine? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Listen to a trade?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Ma'am? ” faintly, from the darkness, Ragan an- swered.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Miss Deane, you must wake up and meet him before he goes. ” “ Before who goes?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Miss Deane, ” called Sophie Carey, “ who is it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ My engagement — its announcement rather- would be a'beat of some value? ” Penwell bowed to Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ New York has n't corrupted you as yet, Miss Deane, has it?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ No need of getting mad, is there? ” FIND THE WOMAN 271 “ Why should n't you?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ No need of getting mad, is there? ” FIND THE WOMAN 271 “ Why should n't you?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ No one is running a blazer on you, are they? ” “ No one is fooling me, if that's what you mean,"said Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ No question about it, is there?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ No? ” Penwell was politely interested.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Not any?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Not living at the Napoli any more, eh? ” She shook her head again.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Not much difficulty in shutting an elevator- boy's FIND THE WOMAN 215 mouth, is there?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Not really?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Of course I was surprised, but-"You were thinking of me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Of me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Oh, did she, now? ” Beiner sneered.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Oh, do n't you think 156 FIND THE WOMAN that you can come with me?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Oh, maybe for a week or two, a few people would be down on you, but — what did you come to New York for, Florine, to make friends or money?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Oh, then, last night- you think it might have been different? ” “ I have no thoughts, Miss Deane- merely hopes.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Oh, you'd like it better that way, would you? ” Beiner threw his cigar upon the floor and ground his heel upon it.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Only- how does she happen to know the name Florine Ladue?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Or should n't I ask?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Party?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Pay me? ” gasped Clancy, “ Surest thing!
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Quite a kidder, ai n't you, Florine?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Ready to go to the country, Ragan? ” asked Mrs. Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Satisfied?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Say, none of them got your name, did they?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Seen Fay to- day?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ She did n't mean that you were so- fatally at- tractive?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ She's not the Mrs. Carey, is she?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Simple, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ So Sophie sent you to my matrimonial bureau, eh? ” she said.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ So soon? ” asked Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ So that's the way you take it, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ So, ” said Vandervent,"you were n't joking with me Friday, eh, Miss Deane?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Spofford, does Mr. Vandervent know of this-er- independent investigation of yours? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Stupid people always think in grooves, do n't they, Spofford?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Suppose I did run a fake agency for the pictures?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Suppose you ride home with us, Zenda? ” “ I have some friends.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Suppose you were surprised to see me so soon again? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Sure of what?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Taxi, miss? ” asked the polite doorman down- stairs.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ The Land of Easy Come. ” The people that she had met, the moving- picture million- aires — theirs had come easily- Would it go as eas- ily?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ The first dance?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ The truth? ” ” He tried to laugh.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Then why not be a regular feller and keep out of things that do n't concern you?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Then you have n't beguiled as many girls as Mrs. Carey says?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Think so?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“ This the woman? ” asked Grannis.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ To- day? ” Vandervent colored again.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Was I- impertinent?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ We'll have it by and by. ” “ Have what?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Well, was n't that sweet of old Fanny?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Well, why not? ” Fay guffawed.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Well? ” she said again.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What about Garland?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What did he look like? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What did you say?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What do you mean? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What else did you think it was? ” “ Why- I supposed — something — I did n't know murder!
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What for? ” demanded Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What for?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What happened? ” demanded Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What has that to do with it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What have I done now? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What is it that you want?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What must you think of me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What time?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What you doin'the rest of the evenin'? ” asked Fay, as she was being helped into her coat.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What's he doing up here?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What's that?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What's the matter, kid?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What's wrong?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ What's your name, dearie? ” Clancy had read quite a bit of New York, of Broadway.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Where are you going? ” demanded Clancy cau- tiously.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Where is this ele- vator- man now?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Where shall we go? ” RANNIS turned abruptly to the east.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Whereabouts?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Which address looks best to you? ” Grannis stared at her.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Who is Don? ” “ My husband, ” said Mrs. Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Who is it?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Who you talkin'to? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Who's going to believe that kind of yarn? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why did I announce myself to Mr. Vandervent as Florine Ladue and then deny it? ” “ You was scared, ” said Spofford.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why did I faint? ” She tried to laugh, and suc- ceeded admirably.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why do n't you talk plain English?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why is n't he?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not? ” 132 FIND THE WOMAN 133 “ Why should I? ” countered Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not? ” 132 FIND THE WOMAN 133 “ Why should I? ” countered Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not? ” demanded Clancy.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not? ” demanded Sophie Carey.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why should I go round to see him?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why should n't I kiss him?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why the deuce should I give you money?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why — why does any one want to do anything? ” “ God knows! ” said Beiner.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why — why — what's wrong? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why — why, Miss Deane's got some fool idea that I killed Morris Beiner, and I wanted to — I wanted to"6"Beiner?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why, she invited me! ” cried Clancy, “ Miss Marston- don't you know her?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why, you poor little simp, Mabel Larkin'll be there, wo n't she? ” Clancy's expression indicated bewilderment.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Why”—and Clancy was wide- eyed—“how could I?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Will you feel that way when you see a police- man? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Will you have one? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Will you?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ With eyes like hers, Irish gray eyes, why should n't she have wit?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Wondering what?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Would he dare? ” asked the judge.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Would he dare?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Y'knew I was coming up here, did n't you? ” “ Why, no,"Clancy assured him.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Yes, indeed, I can sail a boat. ” “ You'll teach me? ” asked Randall.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ Yes, ma’am? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You are n't looking for work, are you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You come right now and tell me what you doin'here?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You did n't? ” His lips pursed over the end of his cigar.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You do n't think anything foolish like that, now, do you? ” He came a little closer to the sleigh.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You do n't think it's bold of me?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You do? ” Once again the young man thought her excitement due to admiration.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You have a trunk? ” asked Madame Napoli.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You hear that? ” he demanded shrilly.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You know each other?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You know the meaning of the word'palaver, do n't you, young woman?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You know who I am? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You may sign checks for one week, Miss ” she consulted the register—“Miss Ladue. ” “'Sign checks? ” ” Clancy was puzzled.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You move rapidly, do n't you? ” ·"I'm fresh, you think?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You move rapidly, do n't you? ” ·"I'm fresh, you think?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You think so, hey?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You think well of Mr. David Randall, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You wo n't really just simply wait?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You would n't mind, would you, Miss Deane?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You — feel better? ” he asked breathlessly.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You'll forgive Miss Deane, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You'll give me fifty a week- right now? ” “ My dear, any musical- comedy manager would give you forty to stand in the front row.
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You're an amachoor, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ You've never been in the chorus of a musical comedy, have you? ”"No."
hvd.hn1kpk	“ ‘ Pack?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ “ Stud??
hvd.hn1kpk	“ “ Stud??
hvd.hn1kpk	“ “ Surprised?
hvd.hn1kpk	“ “ Worried? ” She tried to laugh, but something inside her seemed to warn her to beware.
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Angry?
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Any one ought to know,'eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Enter them, eh?
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Explain?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Friendly?!
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Get work?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Happened?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“'His chance,'ma'am?
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Hurry?"
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Ike Weber?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Leaving town? ” ” Clancy was shocked.
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Live here?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Luck?
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Marriage?'
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Murderess? ” ” All the fears that had departed from Clancy returned to her, magnified.
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Not himself?
hvd.hn1kpk	“'Plain English, eh?
hvd.hn1mqm	Ah, did you think that too? ” said Mrs. Dodsworth, who had herself not thought it till that moment. hvd.hn1mqm Ah, yes, for my old friends the Miss Bartons of Bartons- muir?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Ah, you think so?
hvd.hn1mqm	And leave me here in trouble after I have confided in you?
hvd.hn1mqm	And sure enough they're walking to the railway station. ” “ Green still absent? ” said Mrs. Dodsworth selecting a scone “ Oh, yes. hvd.hn1mqm Are all your old ladies happy? ”"Oh, yes, the old dears, ” said Ann again, quite cheer- fully.
hvd.hn1mqm	Are you feeling shivery under all those blankets? ” Fred laughed. hvd.hn1mqm Are you looking for a book, miss? ” he said just as though he had been expecting her.
hvd.hn1mqm	Are you? ” said Lottie, staring at this last memoran- dum in a kind of desperation. hvd.hn1mqm But I thought you did? ” “ You were mistaken,"said Piffard.
hvd.hn1mqm	But for my part I do n't think it. ” “ You do n't think it? ” exclaimed Mrs. Alleyne. hvd.hn1mqm But there is one consola- tion, we are not needed. ” “ Not needed? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1mqm	But why?
hvd.hn1mqm	But, Atterbury, is there nothing? ” exclaimed Dr. War- ren. hvd.hn1mqm Did he think we hadna work enough already at the Big Hoose? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Did n't you see? ” said Mrs. Baxter. hvd.hn1mqm Did ye hear it, Crombie?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Did you expect Mrs. Baxter? ” she laughed. hvd.hn1mqm Did you indeed, Maud? ” said Miss Caroline highly pleased.
hvd.hn1mqm	Did you notice the emerald and diamond pendant I was wearing last night? ” said Mrs. Dodsworth, in a low voice. hvd.hn1mqm Did you say you had heard of a companion for the Miss Bartons? ” he added.
hvd.hn1mqm	Do n't you know? ” said Lottie surprised. hvd.hn1mqm Do sing this now, wo n't you? ” he said, hastily taking up a song at random.
hvd.hn1mqm	Do you mean to say you are Mrs. Bellairs's nephew?
hvd.hn1mqm	Do you mean to say you missed them so long ago as that? ” exclaimed Piffard. hvd.hn1mqm Eh? ” said Miss Emily bewildered.
hvd.hn1mqm	Examined my jewel- case?
hvd.hn1mqm	For what is a little bit of knitting in comparison to what I might do, for instance? ”. hvd.hn1mqm Have I been so dull? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	Have I never sung it to you before? ” “ No, never, ” said Ann. hvd.hn1mqm Have you nothing more to do to- night? ” she said gently.
hvd.hn1mqm	Have you read Paolo and Francesca? ” he ventured as he handed the book over to her. hvd.hn1mqm Have you seen the book? ” she said shortly, anxious only to end the interview.
hvd.hn1mqm	Have you, Caroline?
hvd.hn1mqm	He has been very ill. ” “ But did n't he feel much better for the tea? ”Oh, yes, thank you — very much, ” said Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	Heard it? ” exclaimed Ann, flushing scarlet in her ex- citement. hvd.hn1mqm Home? ” she said.
hvd.hn1mqm	How about Mrs. Wilkinson and Mrs. Baxter? ” “ Why? hvd.hn1mqm How about Mrs. Wilkinson and Mrs. Baxter? ” “ Why?
hvd.hn1mqm	How are you going to keep them quiet if anything does happen? ” “ We must just chance that, ” said Mrs. Dodsworth. hvd.hn1mqm How could we have missed it?
hvd.hn1mqm	How do you find yourself? hvd.hn1mqm How soon can you be ready to start? ” e one forliss Bartons.
hvd.hn1mqm	I hope you reported it in the proper quarter?
hvd.hn1mqm	I know quite well what you are thinking, so that there is no need to say it, is there? hvd.hn1mqm I suppose it's about the limit out there, is n't it?
hvd.hn1mqm	Indeed? ” exclaimed Mrs. Bellairs. hvd.hn1mqm Is Miss Eldershaw not coming down again?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Is Miss Eldershaw well? ” said Lottie next. hvd.hn1mqm Is he feverish? ”"Oh, no, I do n't think so, m'm,"said Fred gravely.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is it a joke? ” said Fred. hvd.hn1mqm Is it possible that he and Evelyn —""May I have some more tea? ” said somebody else, and she had no more time to think that afternoon.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is it the case?
hvd.hn1mqm	Is she thinking of committing suicide? ” But somehow, and this comforted her, she could not imagine Miss Caroline committing anything so crude. hvd.hn1mqm Is that Bartonsmuir House? ” said a rough voice im- mediately.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is that the West Lodge? ” “ Yes. hvd.hn1mqm Is that the chauffeur? ”"Yes, who are you may I ask? ” “ One who wishes you well and Bartonsmuir well, ” said the voice.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is that the chauffeur? ”Yes, who are you may I ask? ” “ One who wishes you well and Bartonsmuir well, ” said the voice.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is that you, Fred? ” she said without looking up. hvd.hn1mqm Is there a smell of burning? ” said Albert.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is there anything I can get you by the way? ”Is — is my rug there, Aunt Lottie? ” said Fred unex- pectedly.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is there anything I can get you by the way? ”Is — is my rug there, Aunt Lottie? ” said Fred unex- pectedly.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is this possible?
hvd.hn1mqm	Is this what you are looking for, Japp? ” she said smiling to herself in the darkness as Japp started violently. hvd.hn1mqm It seems to be a Wrack- straw, does n't it? ” “ Yet we wrote to no one of the name of Dodsworth, did we, Miss Charteris? ” said Miss Caroline.
hvd.hn1mqm	It seems to be a Wrack- straw, does n't it? ” “ Yet we wrote to no one of the name of Dodsworth, did we, Miss Charteris? ” said Miss Caroline. hvd.hn1mqm Just an open cup? ” said Piffard.
hvd.hn1mqm	Leave me alone to track down the criminal? hvd.hn1mqm May I bring it to you?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Me? hvd.hn1mqm Miss Eldershaw said when I came in — Ah, so it's you, is it?'
hvd.hn1mqm	Miss Gardyne,said Fred under cover of some laughter,"you do n't happen to know the name of that girl, do you? ”"Oh dear, no, ” laughed Evelyn.
hvd.hn1mqm	Mistake? hvd.hn1mqm Mixed up?"
hvd.hn1mqm	My dear, ” she said, “ you would never think of telling Caroline about it? ” “ I must if he is to be dismissed, ” said Ann. hvd.hn1mqm My rug?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Nine does seem early,said Mrs. Alleyne as gravely as she could, “ when dinner is at half- past seven, does n't it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Not, ” exclaimed Mrs. Fennimore, “ surely not the heir- loom? ” Mrs. Dodsworth nodded solemnly. hvd.hn1mqm Nothing?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Now what on earth has Lorimer been up to? ” he asked of the closed door. hvd.hn1mqm So he locks himself in, does he? ” said Albert to himself.
hvd.hn1mqm	Something special? ” she said. hvd.hn1mqm Surely not the man,"he said, “ who is writing a book now called'The Utter Impossibility of Germany ever going to war with Britain'? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Surely you do n't mean that? ” “ You were a friend of her father's,said Mr. Atterbury,"and in any case I am betraying no confidence.
hvd.hn1mqm	Surely you do n't mean to tell me that only old Tosh is coming? ” he said in a tone she had learned to know well. hvd.hn1mqm Suspicions? ” said Lottie.
hvd.hn1mqm	The man who was staying at Greywoods five- six- seven years ago?
hvd.hn1mqm	The others? ” exclaimed Mrs. Dodsworth. hvd.hn1mqm The servant is quite a handsome man, do n't you think? ” was Miss Emily's next remark.
hvd.hn1mqm	Two visitors are coming to occupy them. ” “ What? hvd.hn1mqm Well, now, are n't you grateful to me, my dear? ” she said.
hvd.hn1mqm	What do you mean? ” he exclaimed, turning upon the unfortunate Albert. hvd.hn1mqm What in the name of mystery is Mr. Lorimer here for? ”"Eh? ” said Miss Eldershaw, rousing herself unexpected- ly.
hvd.hn1mqm	What in the name of mystery is Mr. Lorimer here for? ”Eh? ” said Miss Eldershaw, rousing herself unexpected- ly.
hvd.hn1mqm	What platform does the train for Bartonsmuir start from? ” he asked him laying his hand on his arm. hvd.hn1mqm What sort of a taper?"
hvd.hn1mqm	What will my poor old dears be thinking?
hvd.hn1mqm	Who else is in and out of our rooms at all hours? ”. hvd.hn1mqm Who is Sir Joseph Bird? ” “ From Scotland Yard? ” exclaimed Miss Caroline in great indignation.
hvd.hn1mqm	Who is Sir Joseph Bird? ” “ From Scotland Yard? ” exclaimed Miss Caroline in great indignation. hvd.hn1mqm Who would have thought it of Fred? ” she soliloquised.
hvd.hn1mqm	Why? ” said Fred, suddenly holding her arm to detain her. hvd.hn1mqm You are absent- minded,"said Mrs. Bellairs, “ but after the good news that is natural. ” “ Good news? ” said Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	You should be pleased with the idea,was Miss Caro line's next remark,"since it arose from your suggestion. ”"My suggestion?"
hvd.hn1mqm	You, Lorimer?
hvd.hn1mqm	Your driver's a bit reckless for your old ladies, is he not? ” remarked David as the car swerved wildly on to the foot- path. hvd.hn1mqm '” “ Who said that? ” said Piffard. hvd.hn1mqm , Paolo and Francesca — what had her feeling for David in common with a mad passion such as theirs had been? hvd.hn1mqm - 30 BEFORE THE WIND CHAPTER THE SECOND WHICH TREATS AMONGST OTHER THINGS OF RUGS AND ROSE PARLOURS “ THIRD class, miss? hvd.hn1mqm ... “ And seems it strange that I should come then?' hvd.hn1mqm 196 BEFORE THE WIND “ So that's what it is? ” she whispered. hvd.hn1mqm 20 BEFORE THE WIND mu? hvd.hn1mqm 84 BEFORE THE WINDBless me, do n't you smell it? ” said Johnson.
hvd.hn1mqm	? ” cried Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	A case of telepathy perhaps, their writing at the same time like this. ” “ Caroline dear, who are they?"
hvd.hn1mqm	A dug- out or a passage or what? ” “ Both, ”, said Japp miserably.
hvd.hn1mqm	After all if they were personally useless was it for her to point out the fact?
hvd.hn1mqm	After all what had he done?
hvd.hn1mqm	After all what was more natural?
hvd.hn1mqm	After that, as Japp said to his conscience afterwards when it accused him of leaving such a man in his place, what else was there left for him to do?
hvd.hn1mqm	Ah, why was he not there, too, in this great legion of honour?
hvd.hn1mqm	Ah, why was she not a man that she might pass triumph- antly out from all this and offer up her empty life on the field of honour?
hvd.hn1mqm	Ah, yes, for ther day to Mrsanion which “ What the devil does he want just now? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	Alleyne?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Am I keeping them all quiet here think- ing he is on the trail while he is simply away philandering?
hvd.hn1mqm	And if so — had Albert removed the bombs from the dug- out?
hvd.hn1mqm	And she would dare to call me names, would she?"
hvd.hn1mqm	And what's that I should like to know but being the very first to do things?
hvd.hn1mqm	And where does your master find himself?"
hvd.hn1mqm	And will you both forgive me for being so interfering and officious?"
hvd.hn1mqm	And you suspected one of the guests? ”"I suspected the servant of one of them, ” said Piffard.
hvd.hn1mqm	Are ye not aware it's a criminal offence? ” “ A bonfire! ” exclaimed Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	Are you ashamed of being a Wrack- straw? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Are you sure that he is all that he seems to be, my dear? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	As I said to my niece at the time she was urging me to come here, What do we know of them? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Besides you knew, too, did n't you? ” “ Never till he was dying, ” said Japp.
hvd.hn1mqm	Besides, she argued with herself, what harm could such a nonentity as Japp do anyhow — anywhere?
hvd.hn1mqm	But I saw her with my own eyes in his lodge one morning. ” Mr. Tosh's lips seemed to form the word “ What?"
hvd.hn1mqm	But if you are so scared, man, why do n't you clear out yourself? ” “ I dare n't, ” said Japp.
hvd.hn1mqm	But it's all no go, my girl. ”"No go?"
hvd.hn1mqm	But surely I should have been informed of his arrival sooner. ”"Madam? ” said Mr. Tosh, raising his eyebrows in astonishment.
hvd.hn1mqm	But they're all past now-long, long past. ”"He died? ” said Ann softly.
hvd.hn1mqm	But to whom clereyhe thought for the cleroy Mesopotarden he 214 BEFORE THE WIND should she go?
hvd.hn1mqm	But to whom should he send it?
hvd.hn1mqm	But was he really nothing to her then — this man whom she seemed to have known somehow from the be- ginning of things?
hvd.hn1mqm	But when had he gone?
hvd.hn1mqm	Can it be that I am too late?
hvd.hn1mqm	Caroline's revert to the my.mposed BEFORE THE WIND 189 “ What is he doing it for?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Clear out to- morrow and I'll clear the bombs out. ”'Will you? ” said Japp awe- struck.
hvd.hn1mqm	Could she bear to say to him what she had to say?
hvd.hn1mqm	Did Mrs. Alleyne know that she was here?
hvd.hn1mqm	Did they know at Bartonsmuir that this new Wrack- straw was a friend of Albert's?
hvd.hn1mqm	Did this speech of Ann's mean that Lowhampton for once was not talking absolute nonsense?
hvd.hn1mqm	Did you see that man in uniform that was at dinner?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Do n't I, Caroline? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Do n't you see that you nearly knocked over my wine- glass?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Do we?
hvd.hn1mqm	Do you believe what she says about Green? ” “ I do n't believe one word of it, ” said Ann at once.
hvd.hn1mqm	Do you remember that last story I told you, Lori- mer, that night old Tosh was here? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Do you see what lovely black pearls she has on? ” “ No, ” said Albert, “ I can see nothing but you to- night.
hvd.hn1mqm	Even Jim had had to, and what was she in comparison?
hvd.hn1mqm	Even her father himself- and what had he known of what was beyond more than any other?
hvd.hn1mqm	Explosives?
hvd.hn1mqm	Fennimore. ”"Oh, indeed? ” said Mrs. Fennimore, but she did not offer to shake hands.
hvd.hn1mqm	For how could a man get well ever- mentally well at least — in the state he was in?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had Mrs. Fennimore by some means got at Piffard?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had all the thoughts of courage and the rest been but toys he had given her to play with?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had he only, like Socrates, wished to give her an opinion to support her spirit in its passage into nothing- ness?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had she been listening while he was speaking to her — reassuring her?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had she been there in that inner room perhaps on the night before when she had come there on her business interview?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had she not told her dear Ellen what would happen?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had the call from without made her forget the duty of pro- tection she owed to these two old people?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had the war then, besides depriving her of all she loved best in the world, bereft her finally of common sense?
hvd.hn1mqm	Had they not had a right to look askance at him?
hvd.hn1mqm	Has some woman got hold of Lorimer?
hvd.hn1mqm	Have you ever heard it before? ” he added, as she started up.
hvd.hn1mqm	He had promised that he would certainly, but how could one rely on the word of a man who went about with skele- ton keys in his pockets?
hvd.hn1mqm	He was called up by the recruiting- officer and is, I suppose, by now in Southampton. ” “ Called up? ” exclaimed Fred.
hvd.hn1mqm	He's in a trap now if we can only close it on him. ” “ Then why are you so indifferent about it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Here? ” exclaimed Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	How can we be quiet as you call it bawling through a door at each other?"
hvd.hn1mqm	How could she then hesitate to go forward now even if, for her love's sake, she must sacrifice this dear friendship?
hvd.hn1mqm	How long had she been at the West Lodge?
hvd.hn1mqm	I hope you have asked Piffard? ”"He asked himself, ” said Mrs. Alleyne.
hvd.hn1mqm	I shall also have notices posted about the grounds""Eh? ” said Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	I wanted to take them down the passage under the moor and throw them into the sea-"“ But you could n't, I suppose? ” said Albert scornfully.
hvd.hn1mqm	I'll go at once and get my boots on. ” “ Will I get the spades, m'm? ” said Maggie,"an'the lanterns. ” One by one they all volunteered.
hvd.hn1mqm	In all future days was she destined to be merely his love of long ago?
hvd.hn1mqm	Indeed, she had told me to call the guard, when what do you think happened?
hvd.hn1mqm	Is it a love- affair?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Is n't it? ” said Jim all aglow again in a moment.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is she really gone? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Is that agreed?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Is that it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Is there nothing I can do to help?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Is — is Green likely to be back soon?"
hvd.hn1mqm	It is quite an easy one, is it not? ” Ann hoped that the black eyes did not see her trembling.
hvd.hn1mqm	It was after all this, when the three of them were having biscuits, that Miss Emily said “ What about asking Lottie Alleyne, Caroline?"
hvd.hn1mqm	It'll make no difference though for the post goes out they say at eight. ”"At eight? ” laughed Fred.
hvd.hn1mqm	It's a question of what they will — ” “ Who?
hvd.hn1mqm	Last night or the night before I mean? ” Mrs. Fennimore almost dropped her fire- screen.
hvd.hn1mqm	Lorimer?
hvd.hn1mqm	May I tell them you will come?"
hvd.hn1mqm	McMurtrie's"imitation o'a man. ” “ What are you doing here with lights against orders? ” she added sternly.
hvd.hn1mqm	Mi BEFORE THE WIND 161 Who is this woman?
hvd.hn1mqm	Might it not be better to find out exactly where Albert was first?
hvd.hn1mqm	Might not the thief in the house at any moment appear before her?
hvd.hn1mqm	More Wrack- straws? ” said Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	Mrs. Fennimore- have you examined your jewel- case lately?
hvd.hn1mqm	Never fear. ”"Him you mean? ” “ No, he's slipped through our fingers.
hvd.hn1mqm	No?
hvd.hn1mqm	Not a soul was behind the counter all the time except myself and these two women. ” “ Are you sure quite of that? ” said Piffard.
hvd.hn1mqm	Now we shall be able to catch him. ” men you would nowing behind th 94 BEFORE THE WIND “ Shall we though? ” said Piffard watching her.
hvd.hn1mqm	Now what more proof do I require?
hvd.hn1mqm	Now whom do you suspect? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Now would n't you like to go up in the luggage- lift? ” “ No, certainly not! ” exclaimed Fred.
hvd.hn1mqm	Now you understand, do n't you? ” “ No, I do n't, ” said Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	Oh, what is it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Oh, why had they ever left the Grange?
hvd.hn1mqm	Poor George was so very — so very"“ Unsuitable? ” suggested Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	Rather tell me what's the matter with you — or shall I fetch Miss Caroline?
hvd.hn1mqm	She had defended him against these old women, but had they not had a right to whisper?
hvd.hn1mqm	She made me feel ashamed of myself. ” “ Ashamed? ” said Lottie softly.
hvd.hn1mqm	She wo n't come. ” “ But do you want her to come?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Should n't we just get in and keep the seats?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Silence. ” “ What? ” said Miss Eldershaw, hardly believing her ears.
hvd.hn1mqm	So this was all she had to fear?
hvd.hn1mqm	Speak out! ” repeated Arbuthnot in a loud deter- mined up the devil ite right,"bak out ab “ What the devil does she mean?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Surely never! ”"But what can I do?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Surely,"she paused for a moment,"surely you do n't think, Maud, that any of our guests would suspect any of our servants of stealing the pendant?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Tell me something I do n't know? ” said Albert.
hvd.hn1mqm	That's why he's away to- day. ” “ Green- looking after us? ” said Miss Emily bewildered.
hvd.hn1mqm	The West Lodge is dangerous! ”"Dangerous?
hvd.hn1mqm	The harbour was safe certainly, but what of the ocean outside — boundless, mysterious?
hvd.hn1mqm	The servants? ” said Miss Caroline sharply.
hvd.hn1mqm	Then- “ What the devil do you mean, ” he exclaimed, “ by not letting me know that you were there, sir? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	There was a moment's silence and then Ann burst out-"Mr. Tosh, you are a friend of Green's, are n't you? ”"Why do you ask that?"
hvd.hn1mqm	There was a moment's silence and then Ann burst out-"Mr. Tosh, you are a friend of Green's, are n't you? ”"Why do you ask that?"
hvd.hn1mqm	There's no doubt about that. ”"Have you noticed that? ” said Mrs. Dodsworth.
hvd.hn1mqm	This beautiful slim brown- haired creature, so proud yet so sweet- was this the kind of wooing she should have had?
hvd.hn1mqm	To speak low- lean low- only in dreams?
hvd.hn1mqm	To that child?
hvd.hn1mqm	To whom?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was Japp expecting him then to visit him and taking this means of preventing him from coming in?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was he going to dog her footsteps now as all day long he had been dogging her memory?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was it possible that in finding the shelter of David's love so soon she had missed for evermore wonders undreamed of?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was it possible that never again he was to see the unknown girl who had protected him in his extremity?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was it possible that since Albert had left Bartonsmuir a new man had been engaged and was now occupying the West Lodge?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was it possible, she wondered, that she who had a lover knew less of love than that lonely old woman?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was public affront to be added this time to his private grief?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was she never to be rid of this man?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was she only to come back in dreams?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was she packing her latest trophies?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was the lady of The Gables merely waiting till the morning to denounce her?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was there danger then- really danger at the West Lodge?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was this beautiful girl — his second love to treat him as his first had done?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was this honourable?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was this second youth of David Warren's then to be blighted as his first had been?
hvd.hn1mqm	Was this worthy?
hvd.hn1mqm	Well — she reasoned with herself — since she was nothing to him, since he was nothing to her — what if he had shut her out?
hvd.hn1mqm	Well, he could not help that, could he?
hvd.hn1mqm	What could the man have meant?
hvd.hn1mqm	What did they know of war these two old people?
hvd.hn1mqm	What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1mqm	What do you say to it? ” “ Well, Caroline,"said Miss Emily, “ it is n't a question of what I will say.
hvd.hn1mqm	What has become of her? ”"She married, ” said the doctor shortly.
hvd.hn1mqm	What has he down there? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	What have they to do with it now? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	What if the harbour- bar were also a prison- bar?
hvd.hn1mqm	What in all the world had made her speak like that?
hvd.hn1mqm	What sort of a life would he have with his conscience then?
hvd.hn1mqm	What was she about?
hvd.hn1mqm	What was the good of battling on?
hvd.hn1mqm	What was the good of watching a useless trap?
hvd.hn1mqm	Whatever had Mrs. Alleyne come about?
hvd.hn1mqm	When she had finished all she had to tell, Lottie in her BEFORE THE WIND 275 “ Another Wrack- straw?
hvd.hn1mqm	When were you in bed last night? ” 256 BEFORE THE WIND Lifting her hands to his lips he had kissed them passion- ately.
hvd.hn1mqm	Where did you get that extraordinarily good- looking chauffeur from? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Where is he? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hn1mqm	Where is that porter?
hvd.hn1mqm	Wherever was the boy?
hvd.hn1mqm	Who is she?
hvd.hn1mqm	Who knew when he would have leisure for another meal?
hvd.hn1mqm	Who was she?
hvd.hn1mqm	Who was this other woman?
hvd.hn1mqm	Who would be competent to advise her?
hvd.hn1mqm	Why did he look like that?
hvd.hn1mqm	Why not? ”"I dared not, ” said Mrs. Alleyne.
hvd.hn1mqm	Why should it?
hvd.hn1mqm	Why was he here out of it all?
hvd.hn1mqm	Why was he lingering here in the background where people thought strange thoughts of him, said strange things?
hvd.hn1mqm	Why was he not going forward too?
hvd.hn1mqm	Why you do not even know my name yet! ”"Is it not James Green? ” said Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	Wilkinson and Mrs. Baxter! ” “ Well, who else could?
hvd.hn1mqm	Will it be them, think ye? ” “ Yes, it's them, ” shouted Fred hastily, at which there arose a confused sound of ejaculation.
hvd.hn1mqm	Will some- body tell Albert? ” Albert did not need to be told.
hvd.hn1mqm	Will that do, Johnson?"
hvd.hn1mqm	Will that do, miss? ” At that moment anything would have done for Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	Will you kindly tell Arbuthnot to bring me some hot milk? ”"No, dear, ” said Mrs. Bellairs, “ but I'll heat you some myself.
hvd.hn1mqm	Would he be of- fended, do you think, if I offered to lend him a pair of my late Arthur's? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	Would it always be like this, she wondered?
hvd.hn1mqm	Would she be able to do it?
hvd.hn1mqm	Would she still be in costume he wondered?
hvd.hn1mqm	Would she throw him over?
hvd.hn1mqm	Would those who loved her if they were anywhere at all have suffered her to remain without them?
hvd.hn1mqm	Yet neither of them spoke till"Do you think I could learn the bath- chair work and the window- cleaning in the time? ” he said at last.
hvd.hn1mqm	Yet what else could he be here?
hvd.hn1mqm	You are on his track? ”"Yes, I am,"said Piffard, “ but it's a watching game.
hvd.hn1mqm	You are very like some one 1-know. ” “ Am I? ” she said wondering.
hvd.hn1mqm	You had them on when you came here then? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	You here? ” he ejaculated.
hvd.hn1mqm	You must do the bombing out and I'll be ready to cut her off. ”"I bomb her out? ” said Mr. Tosh, with less enthusiasm.
hvd.hn1mqm	You see I am distressed to bring even a shadow of sus- picion upon this household — but after all, Miss Eldershaw, what do we know of these people?
hvd.hn1mqm	and is spend- 308 BEFORE THE WIND if Mr. Tosh knew more about what had been going on there would be less of “ Where's Miss Charteris?"
hvd.hn1mqm	manners are un- necessary. ” “ What has he been doing?"
hvd.hn1mqm	or “ Where's Green? ” when she came to attend upon him.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ A secret? ” exclaimed Miss Eldershaw, warming a little towards the speaker.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ A telephone in the enchanted forest? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ About a week ago? ” exclaimed the lady of the house.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Ah, you think yourself very clever, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Albert, ” exclaimed Jane,"you're never thinking of going soldiering, are you? ”"Did n't you see the evening papers? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Albert, ” exclaimed Jane,"you're never thinking of going soldiering, are you? ”"Did n't you see the evening papers? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ All those lovely old forks and spoons? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Am I, Emily?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And are you going too, Japp? ” inquired Ann eagerly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And happy? ” he asked again.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And have none of the servants seen it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And leave Millicent wandering about there at mid- night?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And my little Ann- is she happy? ” he asked then, watching her.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And this is the first time I have heard of it? ” “ I thought you would be annoyed, ” said Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ And what's below?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Are they all well at Bartonsmuir, dear? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Are you expecting one from Him? ” said Mrs. Bellairs sympathetically.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Are you there, Fred? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Are you, perhaps, for the Germans yourself? ” “ The Lord forbid! ” said Albert.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ As a Wrack- straw? ” said Miss Caroline.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ As the other one?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Bartonsmuir? ” he said in a kind of hoarse whisper.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Besides she has her uncle to look after, has n't she? ”"He would n't mind, ” said Mrs. Alleyne.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Besides who knows if the porter will appear at all?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But I thought she had quarrelled with every one there?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But it does not matter, does it, that the thief should go on stealing if in the end he is captured? ”"She you mean? ” said Mrs. Fennimore.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But it does not matter, does it, that the thief should go on stealing if in the end he is captured? ”"She you mean? ” said Mrs. Fennimore.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But surely you believe Lottie?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But they told her not to. ”"Told her not to? ” exclaimed Miss Caroline with indig- nation.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But what would you have us do, Miss Charteris dear? ” she said soothingly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But what's to hinder their losing something and making an outcry if we do n't warn them? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But when was this? ” said Miss Caroline, sitting up.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But why did she not tell me?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But will Ann wish to see him?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ But you believe they were stolen, do n't you? ” “ Oh, yes, now that they have not been returned.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Ca n't you tell me now who you are? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Ca n't you trust to your presentiments? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Can I not help? ” suggested Albert.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Can it be that he is shy? ” she thought uneasily.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Can she be worse or something?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Can this be Lorimer's and Piffard's affair?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Caroline, ” said Miss Emily whenever she looked at her,"is it?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Child, is that you?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Could none of the men who came to the counter have taken them? ” “ Not one.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Dare n't?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Dared not? ”"No.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ David Warren? ” she said, then in an incredulous half- whisper, “ Going on active service — and here in this house-now?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ David Warren? ” she said, then in an incredulous half- whisper, “ Going on active service — and here in this house-now?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Did 166 BEFORE THE WIND you hear her laughing again and again while he was speak- ing to her? ”"Hysteria, ” said Miss Eldershaw gloomily.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Did he say that?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Did your uncle die suddenly? ” “ Yes, he fainted off one day and only came to again for a few minutes."
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you know of any one wanting a companion im- mediately?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you mean lost? ” Mrs. Dodsworth nodded.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you mean to say that Albert has left you for good?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you mean, ” said Miss Caroline stiffening,"that you concealed the fact of your coming here, Maud?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you not think I can manage them? ” she urged again.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you really think, Aunt Lottie, that it would make any difference to the canteen?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Do you think this is wise?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ For me, do you mean? ” said Captain Piffard.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Gone?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Good heavens, are you feverish? ” she exclaimed, clutch- ing at his wrist as she spoke.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Had Miss Caroline a letter too? ” “ Yes, my young friend, ” said Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Have n't you had a letter? ” With a sudden glow of remorse Ann remembered the unopened envelope in her pocket.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Have they too lost something? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Heavens, is this parcel day?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ How am I ever to tell him? ” she had begun saying to herself.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ How are you, my dear?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ How did you lose them? ” said Piffard.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ I thought you were in charge of their affairs? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ I want her to take me away from this place. ” “ Take you away? ” exclaimed Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Is any one in the waiting- room? ” he asked her.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Is n't it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Is this Fred Lorimer? ” There was consternation in her honest eyes.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ It must have been the taper that did it. ” “ The taper? ” exclaimed Johnson.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Leave me now, Maud, if you please. ” “ And when may I come back? ” said Mrs. Bellairs as she obediently moved off.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Left? ” she repeated, gazing incredulously at her informant.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Let us hold together al- ways- shall we? ” BEFORE THE WIND"If you really want me,"sobbed Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ May I speak to you for a moment? ” said Ann- faintly-breathlessly, but Ann undoubtedly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ My dear, will you?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ No idea that you are here? ” exclaimed Miss Caroline, “ when your nephew is staying there? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ No idea that you are here? ” exclaimed Miss Caroline, “ when your nephew is staying there? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Not all of them sure- ly?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Not all?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Nothing, Miss Charteris? ” she said dumbfounded.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Now is n't that delicious?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Now, do you see an opening? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Oh, David, is this true? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Oh, Ellen Eldershaw? ” exclaimed Miss Emily.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Oh, indeed? ” said Mr. Tosh.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Oh, what time is it? ” she said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ On Piffard's behalf? ” he said in a loud whisper.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ On what grounds? ” snapped Mr. Tosh.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ See if there is a taxi left for me, will you? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Should I do it now do you think?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Sleeping here? ” exclaimed Ann.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ So early? ” said Mrs. Dodsworth surprised, “ and whom do you mean by they? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ So early? ” said Mrs. Dodsworth surprised, “ and whom do you mean by they? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ So the hostess came to you, did she?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ So you BEFORE THE WIND 117 yourself are giving Albert a third opportunity at the ex- pense of the poor old Wrack- straws?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Suspect them, you mean? ” Mrs. Bellairs nodded.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Suspicions of what, Aunt Emily?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ That is all we need say, is it not? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ The Napoleonic heirloom? ” “ That, ” said Mrs. Bellairs.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Then I was not mistaken? ”"No, Mrs. Dodsworth, ” said Mrs. Fennimore, with de- termined firmness.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Then may I tell Miss Charteris that I have heard of a post for her? ” he said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Then you have never read it? ”"No."
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Then-if I may ask, Lorimer — is it a case, you mean? ” Fred nodded.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ There was a woman once at an hotel where I was staying in Switzerland-a millionairess too_who had taken a fancy to""An heirloom?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ There were so many devoted to her I had forgotten, and so has he evidently, for he is engaged to our Miss Charteris now. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ These old women? ” said Mrs. Fennimore.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ They have been listening, ” said Miss Caroline, “ but after all why should they not take part on this occasion?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ To your lodgings do you mean? ” Piffard nodded in silence looking at her.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Want you, sweetheart?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Want you? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ We do not know him very well, do we, Miss Charteris dear?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ We shall need her ourselves. ” “ Oh, Caroline! ” exclaimed Miss Emily imploringly,"would it not be better to exclude Arbuthnot, rather?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Well — and what does Ellen say?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Well, Fred, will you go?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Well, and what did you do then? ”"Ah, that was the disappointment, I could do nothing."
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Well, how is Miss Eldershaw now? ”"Rather worse, ” said Ellen gloomily.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Well, shall I fetch Miss Caroline?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What am I to do?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What are you doing here at all? ” continued Ann re- lentlessly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What are you going to write to them? ”"That a V.C.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What blooming idiot sent you here just now? ” he added ungratefully as he went on heaving.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What d'ye mean by havin'a bonfire in yer garden at this time o'night?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What did I tell you, Miss Brownrigg?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What did you say, Miss Charteris dear?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What did you say? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What do you 192 BEFORE THE WIND she add know hishe pais think, Miss Charteris dear?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What do you think of Green now that you have seen him?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What do you want more than those emeralds you saw to- night, eh?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What does it matter?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What good news?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What if I make a hash of the whole thing?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What is it, Caroline? ” said Miss Emily anxiously.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What is it, Miss Charteris?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What is it? ” Arbuthnot came still nearer, stepping gingerly over the clods.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What name is she coming under?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What would I tell him to go there for? ” Ann said no more, judging it wiser to hold her peace in case of household storms arising.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What's that to you? ” said Japp at last, but his voice had become a little uncertain.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What's that? ” said Ann breathlessly as the music ceased.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What's that? ” said somebody.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What's the difference between it and this lodge? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What's this then?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What's to be done now?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What, all?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What? ” he said faintly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What? ” said Piffard sharply.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ What?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Whatever did I do it for?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Whatever is it? ” thought Ann, and glancing towards Miss Emily she saw her swallow painfully and draw her Shetland shawl more closely round her.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Whatever is she up to now?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ When are they coming? ” “ When they can manage it, ” said Miss Caroline.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where are you going? ”"To the man you call Green,"shouted Mrs. Dodsworth in answer.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where have I seen you? ” she repeated.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where have I seen you? ” she whispered breathlessly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where is Miss Eldershaw? ” said Miss Caroline, pre- paring to rise.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where is he?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where's the pantry? ” said Piffard, looking round him.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Where?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Who's there? ” said Japp's voice, just inside, after a moment.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Why does n't that young man Green enlist? ” she said.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Why not? ” said Jane rebelliously.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Why the devil do n't you bring me my coat? ” he said, forgetting that his attendant was not Albert.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Why, whatever is it about? ” said Mr. Tosh, with some impatience.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Will it never end? ” she muttered once or twice.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Will you leave me to manage the matter? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Will you swear you'll clear out the bumbs? ” he said at last.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Without a servant? ” he said sharply.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” he said, turning his chair round for her.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Would — would you mind telling me who you are? ” he said hoarsely.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Wrack- straws and police- folk and farm- hands?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Yes, I'm sure it's El- dershaw. ” “ And is this all you have to tell me?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Yes, was n't it fun? ” Fred Lorimer heard her say as he handed cups of tea to belated new- comers.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Yet you are sure that once right away she would not be unhappy? ” “ Certain."
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You advise the same as she does?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You are getting on, Green, are n't you? ” she would say in her high cracked voice.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You are sure of that? ” “ Quite sure. ” “ Had you a lot of men in this evening? ” “ Crowds, ” said Mrs. Alleyne.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You are sure of that? ” “ Quite sure. ” “ Had you a lot of men in this evening? ” “ Crowds, ” said Mrs. Alleyne.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You are sure that you are right in keeping what has happened from Miss Barton? ”.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You did not know that he was there then? ” she ven- tured.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You do n't suppose I'm blind, do you? ” said Jane.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You do not need her when you are here, do you? ”"Yes, I do,"burst out Miss Eldershaw.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You had not told him to go there? ”"Me, miss? ” exclaimed Arbuthnot amazed.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You had not told him to go there? ”"Me, miss? ” exclaimed Arbuthnot amazed.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You have your eye on him then?
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You know who he is then? ” “ Of course I do, ” said Mrs. Fennimore.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You think that really? ” said Mrs. Alleyne eagerly.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ You, Arbuthnot? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Your songs are all perfectly lovely, Miss Gellatly dear, but have they not been to- night, for the kind of night it is, a little dismal?"
hvd.hn1mqm	“ Your voice?
hvd.hn5rj9	A rancher? hvd.hn5rj9 A well,—for irrigation?"
hvd.hn5rj9	And that's what you call a'discovery,'is it?
hvd.hn5rj9	Another chance? ” she echoed. hvd.hn5rj9 Are we going to take it back to the house or bury it safely somewhere out here? ” Barry pondered.
hvd.hn5rj9	But how did you know where to turn in? ” asked Barry, a little ashamed of his own boyish curiosity. hvd.hn5rj9 But what is to prevent him?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Could n't you find any trace to help you guess? ”No,"said Gale, masking his perplexed annoyance as best he might.
hvd.hn5rj9	Did n't they —?
hvd.hn5rj9	Do n't these cal- louses tell their own story? ”. hvd.hn5rj9 Father, ” she asked, abruptly, “ what hold has Wolfe Naylor on you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Has he gone, yet? ”Naylor?''
hvd.hn5rj9	Has he gone, yet? ”Naylor?''
hvd.hn5rj9	I mean, at what gate? ”The man told me it was the third gate after I passed the crossroads, ” said Sludge.
hvd.hn5rj9	I think, ” he went on, edging closer to the astounded Naylor,I think you just said I was not to get away from here alive, did n't you?
hvd.hn5rj9	I"Did n't I? hvd.hn5rj9 I? ” he queried, in preplexity.
hvd.hn5rj9	Is that you, Barry?
hvd.hn5rj9	Is?
hvd.hn5rj9	Naylor? ” he asked, seeking to speak indifferently. hvd.hn5rj9 No? ” queried Dick, as he stopped and picked up from the rubble at their feet a squarish particle of coal- like black rock.
hvd.hn5rj9	No? ” she laughed, to cover the odd little thrill that tingled through her at his earnestness of words and look. hvd.hn5rj9 Now, how about you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Oh, ca n't he come along?
hvd.hn5rj9	Pleasant ride? ” he queried, abruptly. hvd.hn5rj9 Rice?"
hvd.hn5rj9	See any clouds in the sky, to- day?
hvd.hn5rj9	See those ground squirrels playing over there? ” he broke off, switching the subject. hvd.hn5rj9 Shall we ride on?"
hvd.hn5rj9	What are you talking about? ” he demanded, harshly. hvd.hn5rj9 What could it have been? ” asked the giri, for the BLACK GOLD 131 second time.
hvd.hn5rj9	What do you suppose scared them so? ” Maida asked. hvd.hn5rj9 What in blue blazes do you make of it all? ” he whispered, a touch of awe in his jolly voice.
hvd.hn5rj9	What in blue blazes is the row?
hvd.hn5rj9	What is it? ” he asked in quick alarm at the break in her tone and at the stark terror which underlay her words. hvd.hn5rj9 What is there for me to do?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why'd I have to? ” demanded O’Rell, truculently. hvd.hn5rj9 Yes, ” chimed in Dick, hospitality lifting him out of his treasure- trance, “ have you eaten? ”"Well, no, ” said Romeyn,"I have n't.
hvd.hn5rj9	You could n't get what you went for?
hvd.hn5rj9	You know what happened to you, do n't you? hvd.hn5rj9 You were speaking of me, were n't you? ” asked Gale, evenly, as he confronted Naylor.
hvd.hn5rj9	You're Sludge, Mr. Drace's valet, are n't you?
hvd.hn5rj9	( Remember the time he started that fake diamond stampede by saying he had found a bed of blue clay out on the east side of Tuscan Peaks?)
hvd.hn5rj9	... Do you happen to remember the old Syrian tale of Sheik Ben Ysouf?
hvd.hn5rj9	... See those twin moun- tains, between us and Lassen? ” he continued.
hvd.hn5rj9	208 BLACK GOLD What was that? ” he broke off, pick in air; as a sound caught his alert ear.
hvd.hn5rj9	And I ask her to be my wife. ”"Your — your wife?"
hvd.hn5rj9	And Jared Drace's voice called timidly: “ May I come in, dear? ”.
hvd.hn5rj9	And how about those acres of whopping big flat- sided black bowlders, up Iron Canyon way?
hvd.hn5rj9	And how did you happen to have me brought here instead of taken home or down to the hospital at Red Bluff?"
hvd.hn5rj9	And if a man, from the West, traveling East-""You're a rancher? ” she queried, with a real interest.
hvd.hn5rj9	And in a sweet, peaceful, hospitable region, like this, why should he surround himself with twenty or more armed guards?
hvd.hn5rj9	And that will keep him in a good humor? ”.
hvd.hn5rj9	And their ranches are showing the results.-But, I for- got to ask you: Have you eaten?"
hvd.hn5rj9	And were n't you asking leave to do the job?
hvd.hn5rj9	And what was the idea of the six- inch steel door I caught a glimpse of?
hvd.hn5rj9	And""But what shall I do, Barry?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Any better at all? ”"Why, I'm all right, now! ” he laughed, to reassure her and to banish from her upturned face the look of worry.
hvd.hn5rj9	Are you good for a cross- country canter? ”.
hvd.hn5rj9	Are you in California on a visit or do you live here, now?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Are you sure you can fix the saddle- cloth so it wo n't hurt her to be ridden? ” “ Indeed I can, ” he assured her.
hvd.hn5rj9	As for his prowling around Gopher Hill-"Well? ” prompted O’Rell, as Barry hesitated.
hvd.hn5rj9	But I ca n't get him to say a word to me about them. ”"Why in the world did he ever come to California; I wonder? ” asked Gale.
hvd.hn5rj9	But how can I?
hvd.hn5rj9	But let's try not to think about them, sha n't we?
hvd.hn5rj9	But would they be worth a trifle more than fifty thousand dollars to us or to any one?
hvd.hn5rj9	But you must have known I was here, did n't you?
hvd.hn5rj9	But, perhaps you'd like to do your share of the hunting?
hvd.hn5rj9	But, ” she interrupted herself,"what do you suppose he meant by saying I'd marry him by to- morrow?
hvd.hn5rj9	By bitter tears or only by swooning?"
hvd.hn5rj9	By disregarding those notices you laid yourself open to"To sudden death?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Can I help you, mon maitre?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Did I bore you? ” “ You would n't know how to bore anybody, if you tried all day!"
hvd.hn5rj9	Did you mean the time, there, at the gorge?
hvd.hn5rj9	Did you suppose I let myself get all het up over this thing, just on the face of what I've read you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Do n't you see it must?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Do they happen very often, here? ”"No,"he reassured her,"mighty seldom.
hvd.hn5rj9	Do you know why I asked you if you'd ever heard of Mount Lassen?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Do you mind? ”"Do I?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Do you mind? ”"Do I?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Do you remember the long confabs we used to have, in front of the hall- fire at the Car- ringtons'?
hvd.hn5rj9	Drace told me there was no answer. ”"Mr. Drace gave you this, himself? ” asked Barry.
hvd.hn5rj9	Fill up the trough where we found the ingot, will you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Gale?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Had I done anything to offend you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Has he gone, yet? ” BLACK GOLD 149"Well, no, he has n't, ” admitted Drace, confusedly.
hvd.hn5rj9	Have?
hvd.hn5rj9	He""Do you think —? ” began Gale, choking with mingled rage and amazement.
hvd.hn5rj9	Hey?"
hvd.hn5rj9	How about a little treasure- whirl with me, to- morrow morning? ” “ Nothing doing, ” refused Gale.
hvd.hn5rj9	How about it?
hvd.hn5rj9	How about it?"
hvd.hn5rj9	How could he have known there was anything in here worth stealing?
hvd.hn5rj9	How could he?
hvd.hn5rj9	How did you happen to be there?
hvd.hn5rj9	How did you happen to be trespassing on that precise spot?
hvd.hn5rj9	How's this?"
hvd.hn5rj9	I am to see him and treat him as if nothing had happened?
hvd.hn5rj9	I believe men hate shopping, do n't they?
hvd.hn5rj9	I believe there's some law, is n't there, against keeping great quantities of gold out of circulation?
hvd.hn5rj9	I hope I did n't rouse you too early?"
hvd.hn5rj9	I misunderstood the direction a driver gave me, just before that. ” 98 BLACK GOLD “ You walked here? ” queried the astounded Barry.
hvd.hn5rj9	I prom- ise you that. ”"In the meantime, he is to live in the same house with me?"
hvd.hn5rj9	I ran across it by chance this afternoon, just before""Oh,"interrupted Drace, with a mighty attempt at ease of manner,"that thing?
hvd.hn5rj9	I've had to, sir. ”"How did you get here? ” asked Barry, looking up and down the road for trace of any wagon or car.
hvd.hn5rj9	I-""The guards?"
hvd.hn5rj9	I-14"“ Then what else was implied?"
hvd.hn5rj9	If we insist that our country be guided by ma- jority- rule, then why sneer at a majority- report in literary tastes?
hvd.hn5rj9	If you are n't too busy, perhaps you'll let me take you down to Red Bluff, some day soon?
hvd.hn5rj9	If you ca n't come at nine, suppose we wait till to- morrow?
hvd.hn5rj9	If you're going to rake up the old yarn of their lost treasure, suppose you wait till I've had supper? ”"Listen to this!"
hvd.hn5rj9	If, now and again, my puppets or my plot- wires creak a bit noisily,—what then?
hvd.hn5rj9	Is his health bad or —?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Is it likely that there are two independent caches on that one little hill?
hvd.hn5rj9	Is it likely, I ask you, that either Curly Enright or Tremaine would have been let to stand in on that robbery?
hvd.hn5rj9	Is n't it a regular made- to- order morning for a ride? ”"It's perfect!"
hvd.hn5rj9	Is she yours?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Is there anything I can do for you be- fore I go down, sir? ”.
hvd.hn5rj9	Just 162 BLACK GOLD bear that in mind, a few minutes, wo n't you, and let it keep you from all these merry little interruptions?
hvd.hn5rj9	Let it go at that, sha n't we?
hvd.hn5rj9	Let's forget about it, sha n't we?"
hvd.hn5rj9	May I come over to- morrow morning for you? ”.
hvd.hn5rj9	May I trouble you to let me by? ” Wholly ignoring the snub, Naylor kept his position in front of her.
hvd.hn5rj9	Might not Maida herself still be in New York?
hvd.hn5rj9	Might not this"some onę else ” have dropped it?
hvd.hn5rj9	Oh, are you feeling any better?
hvd.hn5rj9	Oh, what chance will such a poor frail old, man have against-?".
hvd.hn5rj9	Oh, wo n't you go in and talk to him about it?
hvd.hn5rj9	Only,-only-"“ Only what?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Or perhaps to some one else connected with her father's household?
hvd.hn5rj9	Out here, they'd never""Sugar maples? ” snorted O’Rell, in fine scorn.
hvd.hn5rj9	Promptly at ten?
hvd.hn5rj9	Queer, is n't it?
hvd.hn5rj9	Remember?
hvd.hn5rj9	Say, where do you boys get your coffee?
hvd.hn5rj9	See those big brogan marks in the soft ground?
hvd.hn5rj9	See those brogan- 190 BLACK GOLD prints?
hvd.hn5rj9	Sha n't we both try to forget it, please?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Shall we start?"
hvd.hn5rj9	She “ concurred ” with Drace in demanding that Barry see her no more?
hvd.hn5rj9	Suppose we let it go at that, for the present; and chase in and eat?
hvd.hn5rj9	The question being: Are you with me in this gold hunt, or are n't you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Then what do you suppose happened? ” He paused in true rhetorical style, for reply.
hvd.hn5rj9	Then,- what was the phrasing of the tidings Nell Carrington had told him after Maida had passed on to another room with another man?
hvd.hn5rj9	Those are the only ones. ”"Does it seem odd, at all, ” he asked,"that the only clouds on this perfect day, should cluster around one mountain top?
hvd.hn5rj9	Was her father lying?
hvd.hn5rj9	Was it not strongly possible that she had tired of the thing, long ago, and had given it to some servant of the family?
hvd.hn5rj9	Was n't that a queer thing for him to say to me?
hvd.hn5rj9	We're- we're engaged, and We are engaged, are n't we, Barry? ”"But-"he began, in one last lingering struggle of his good resolves.
hvd.hn5rj9	What about him? ”"He's so different from what he was, back at home, ” she complained.
hvd.hn5rj9	What are you going to do about it? ” His tone was as insulting as a kick.
hvd.hn5rj9	What better can you ask; in a story that is frank melodrama?
hvd.hn5rj9	What better en- couragement could he ask?
hvd.hn5rj9	What can it mean, Barry?
hvd.hn5rj9	What do you suppose was in that copse?
hvd.hn5rj9	What do you think of it? ”"I- I do n't know,"said O'Rell, hesitatingly.
hvd.hn5rj9	What does it all mean? ”"I do n't know,"answered Gale, soberly.
hvd.hn5rj9	What has aged and changed 234 BLACK GOLD your father so?
hvd.hn5rj9	What have you been doing?
hvd.hn5rj9	What is Naylor's hold over him?
hvd.hn5rj9	What must you have thought of me for not answering —?!
hvd.hn5rj9	What the deuce do you make of that?
hvd.hn5rj9	What was Jared Drace doing?
hvd.hn5rj9	What was it?
hvd.hn5rj9	What was it?"
hvd.hn5rj9	What was that thing, anyhow?
hvd.hn5rj9	What will he think?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Where'd they come from?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why are you so afraid of him?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why did n't you come over to see me, Barry?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why did you stop coming to see me?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why do n't you go back, East, away from it all?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why do n't you make it a two- handed game, Barry? ” he coaxed.
hvd.hn5rj9	Why has n't your father done it?"
hvd.hn5rj9	Why should he surround himself with armed guards, in a peaceful region like this?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why should he — whose business and personal life have been so aboveboard,—why should he have to cringe before a swine like Naylor?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why would any panhandler or crook take such a big chance of capture, just for the sake of being alone in our living room for two minutes?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why, in the first place, should such a man have shut himself up in that god- forsaken place and turned his back on all his old world?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why, what had he done to merit this brutal dismissal?
hvd.hn5rj9	Why? ” For answer, Barry pointed to the bare spot on the table, where the ingot had lain.
hvd.hn5rj9	Will you let me know?
hvd.hn5rj9	Wo n't that be nice? ”"Hold on! ” interrupted Barry, not at all impressed by his cousin's annoyed irony.
hvd.hn5rj9	Wo n't you do as you planned; and let me act as your secretary until you can get some one, more competent than I, to fill Wolfe Naylor's place?
hvd.hn5rj9	Wo n't you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Wo n't you?
hvd.hn5rj9	Would n't it, Barry? ” Gale sat up straight, and blinked.
hvd.hn5rj9	Would n't you? ”"No,"said Barry, “ I would n't.
hvd.hn5rj9	Would they?
hvd.hn5rj9	Yet why on earth should the man hate him and yearn to murder him?
hvd.hn5rj9	Yet, surely, you could have sent it back to her by mail, could n't you? ” Gale had handed the worn little purse to Maida.
hvd.hn5rj9	You are n't a farmer, are you?"
hvd.hn5rj9	You'd think""Not calling on me any more?"
hvd.hn5rj9	You're sure you wo n't change your mind and let me ride in with you?
hvd.hn5rj9	You're sure you're strong enough to walk?"
hvd.hn5rj9	he chanted, breaking off to ask again: “ Are you with me?''
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Alone?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ And I knew about most of the big shipments from up that fancy stuff to the gold, when it was just going to be?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ And ca n't I send you back in my runabout?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ And those are really volcanic clouds,-volcanic vapors,-above it?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Another chance to make brutal love to me?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ As to his prowling around Gopher Hill?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ But why?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Ca n't he?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Can you be here at nine, this morning, instead of at ten?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Do I?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Do you see that hill, over yonder?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Granting he told the truth,—for once,"argued Gale,"where does it lead to?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ He is to have every chance to do again what he did to- day?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ How did he show it?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ How many people know the combination of that vault, sir? ” he called, as he bent over the slowly re- viving secretary.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ I do n't mean for part of the year, but to shut himself up like this?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ I never saw better riding, while"“ While it lasted?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Is n't she a perfect beauty?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Only, if he came here, after the lamp was out, how could he have known the gold was in this room?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Or did Mr. Naylor? ”"Mr. Drace, sir,"returned Sludge.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Ought I to have heard of it?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ See how the vapor curls and eddies over it?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ The guards?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Then how about this?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Then what else was it?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Well?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ What did you suppose I was speaking about?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ What is wrong? ”"I – I ca n't explain, over the telephone!"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ What must you think of us, here? ” she was say- ing, earnestly.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ What was BLACK GOLD 251 it?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ What was there to laugh about?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Who could make me do it? ”"Only one man on earth could make you do it, Dick.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Who else?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Who told you it was? ”"Mr. Naylor said so.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Whose will it be, but yours and mine?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Why did you, Barry?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Yes, sir,'answered the man, respectfully; adding, “ Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Yes,"said Gale; adding inquisitively:"How can you tell? ” “ I remembered your step, sir, from yesterday,"an- swered Sludge.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ You forget this bullion is not yours, even if you find it. ”"Why the blue blazes wo n't it be mine?"
hvd.hn5rj9	“ You were on your way here to return it to her?
hvd.hn5rj9	“ You woke up and found it was all an evil dream? ” hazarded Gale, monstrously solemn.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ You'll stay for dinner, of course, Barry? ” she said, rising.
hvd.hn5rj9	“ Your father's secretary?
hvd.32044074315045	'And did he die in that bed?' hvd.32044074315045 'Where's Sambo?'
hvd.32044074315045	'Where's Sambo?' hvd.32044074315045 After every effort?"
hvd.32044074315045	After opening and closing it?
hvd.32044074315045	And Miss Tuttle shrieked at seeing a police officer?
hvd.32044074315045	And Miss Tuttle? hvd.32044074315045 And Miss Tuttle?"
hvd.32044074315045	And a welcome one, eh?
hvd.32044074315045	And did matters seem to improve after that? hvd.32044074315045 And did no one go up?
hvd.32044074315045	And did you find any one in he old house?
hvd.32044074315045	And did you find the note where she said?
hvd.32044074315045	And finding the only key, as you supposed, gone, you flew to the Moore house?
hvd.32044074315045	And how can you suppose me to be in a posi- tion to prove that? hvd.32044074315045 And how sure are you that he did not get this jewel back?"
hvd.32044074315045	And it was while you were inside, instead of out- side, that you heard the shot?
hvd.32044074315045	And like this?
hvd.32044074315045	And now what else?
hvd.32044074315045	And on what night?
hvd.32044074315045	And saw her then for the first time?
hvd.32044074315045	And she said she had been around the block?
hvd.32044074315045	And the police have been equally unsuccessful?
hvd.32044074315045	And to save that reputation you tied the pistol to her wrist?
hvd.32044074315045	And to whom did he first mention his errand?
hvd.32044074315045	And to whom is the guilt of this crime ascribed?
hvd.32044074315045	And was this the hour when you saw that light?
hvd.32044074315045	And what did she do there?
hvd.32044074315045	And what did you see in the future?
hvd.32044074315045	And what was that?
hvd.32044074315045	And what was that?
hvd.32044074315045	And who was this person?
hvd.32044074315045	And why did you stop?
hvd.32044074315045	And you are sure this small ball was among them?
hvd.32044074315045	And you believed what was told you?
hvd.32044074315045	And you can not remember where you left this candle and candelabrum when you finally quitted the house?
hvd.32044074315045	And you found this book called Compensation in your room upstairs?
hvd.32044074315045	And you never suspected?
hvd.32044074315045	And you went in?
hvd.32044074315045	Anything new?
hvd.32044074315045	Are they there? hvd.32044074315045 Are you not yet satisfied with what we have been able to tell you of my poor wife's unhappy end?"
hvd.32044074315045	Are you ready?
hvd.32044074315045	Are you speaking of the Moore house?
hvd.32044074315045	Are you the boy who ran away from the flor- ist's in Washington?
hvd.32044074315045	Are you the boy who ran away from the flor- ist's in Washington?
hvd.32044074315045	Are you willing to state what words?
hvd.32044074315045	At night and with no gas in the house? hvd.32044074315045 Before leaving the southwest chamber?"
hvd.32044074315045	Believed it well enough to keep a watch on your young mistress to see if she were happy or not?
hvd.32044074315045	Believed?
hvd.32044074315045	But what do you mean about finding something in the wall behind that old picture? hvd.32044074315045 But why have I told you all this nonsense?"
hvd.32044074315045	But you did not enter the library?
hvd.32044074315045	But you saw the light?
hvd.32044074315045	But your sister did?
hvd.32044074315045	By anything that passed between you?
hvd.32044074315045	By herself, then?
hvd.32044074315045	By whom was it dragged? hvd.32044074315045 Can it be that my niece has been frightened to death in that old place?
hvd.32044074315045	Can not you say definitely?
hvd.32044074315045	Can not you translate that French for us?
hvd.32044074315045	Can you live directly opposite a place of such remarkable asso- ciations and not interest yourself in who goes in and out of its deserted doors?
hvd.32044074315045	Can you remember your state of mind?
hvd.32044074315045	Did I say unhappily?
hvd.32044074315045	Did he wear his badge in plain view?
hvd.32044074315045	Did she know that Mr. Jeffrey had visited you earlier in the day? hvd.32044074315045 Did she say anything else?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did she say anything?
hvd.32044074315045	Did she take the book away?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you enter the library on your solitary visit to this old house?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you exchange any words?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you know that the house had two keys?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you let her in?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you meet any one there?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you see any one else take them up?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you see those candles?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you see whether she put anything into the book?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you take such a book out?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you take up those rings?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you think I was going to discharge it?
hvd.32044074315045	Do n't you know?
hvd.32044074315045	Do you know the name of that boy?
hvd.32044074315045	Do you see those?
hvd.32044074315045	Do you suffer so from drafts?
hvd.32044074315045	Does it include you?
hvd.32044074315045	Does not her action show it?
hvd.32044074315045	Does that include Durbin?
hvd.32044074315045	Does this bed- room of which you speak com- municate with the hall as well as with the sitting- room?
hvd.32044074315045	Dressed this way?
hvd.32044074315045	Fatal?
hvd.32044074315045	Fine turnout?
hvd.32044074315045	For what purpose, Miss Tuttle?
hvd.32044074315045	Has he acknowledged this?
hvd.32044074315045	Has she run upon a ghost in those dismal apart- ments? hvd.32044074315045 Have you any special business with me?"
hvd.32044074315045	Have you any stated hour for doing this?
hvd.32044074315045	Have you that knot with you?
hvd.32044074315045	His name? hvd.32044074315045 How came you to search here for the wife who had written you this vague and far from satisfac- tory farewell?
hvd.32044074315045	How can you prove this to us?
hvd.32044074315045	How did she look and act that first day?
hvd.32044074315045	How did you carry them?
hvd.32044074315045	How do you account for that spot and the slight injury made to her finger? hvd.32044074315045 How else?"
hvd.32044074315045	How long had he been gone?
hvd.32044074315045	How long have you been in Washington, I should like to ask?
hvd.32044074315045	How long was this before Mr. Jeffrey came in?
hvd.32044074315045	How?
hvd.32044074315045	I may not be home till late — What are you looking at?
hvd.32044074315045	I?
hvd.32044074315045	In English?
hvd.32044074315045	In criticism of her conduct?
hvd.32044074315045	In what room did you say this pistol was kept?
hvd.32044074315045	Is Rudge the dog to do that,I asked,"if his master were not there?
hvd.32044074315045	Is he in the habit of remaining out late?
hvd.32044074315045	Is it any better for the second and longer inter- view between you the next day?
hvd.32044074315045	Is it so unmistak- ably evident that Mr. Jeffrey did not get to the Moore house in time to do the shooting himself?
hvd.32044074315045	Is it the room Mrs. Jeffrey used to occupy?
hvd.32044074315045	Is that all you have to say concerning this im- portant visit, the last you held with your sister be- fore her death?
hvd.32044074315045	Is this it?
hvd.32044074315045	Is this the book?
hvd.32044074315045	Is this the only book with a cover of this kind in the house?
hvd.32044074315045	Is this your final reply on this subject?
hvd.32044074315045	It was Mrs. Jeffrey, then, who clung most de- terminedly to her sister?
hvd.32044074315045	It was you?
hvd.32044074315045	Just at sight of him?
hvd.32044074315045	Like this one?
hvd.32044074315045	May I ask you to tell us what passed between you on this point?
hvd.32044074315045	Miss Turtle? hvd.32044074315045 Miss Tuttle lived in the house with her sister, did she not?"
hvd.32044074315045	Miss Tuttle?
hvd.32044074315045	Mr. Jeffrey was not with her?
hvd.32044074315045	Mr. Jeffrey, in the talk you had with your wife on Tuesday morning was Miss Tuttle's name in- troduced?
hvd.32044074315045	Mrs. Jeffrey's sister? hvd.32044074315045 Must she stay here?"
hvd.32044074315045	No? hvd.32044074315045 No?
hvd.32044074315045	Not at home? hvd.32044074315045 Not when you looked at the old picture?"
hvd.32044074315045	Nothing more? hvd.32044074315045 Oh, then, Miss Tuttle is gone?"
hvd.32044074315045	On the book- shelf?
hvd.32044074315045	Shall we go upstairs?
hvd.32044074315045	She has shot herself? hvd.32044074315045 She never seemed to notice but —""But —?"
hvd.32044074315045	She?
hvd.32044074315045	Sick?
hvd.32044074315045	So that you knew him to be a police officer?
hvd.32044074315045	That our belief may become certainty, will you let us know, the instant you re- call the name of the man you talked with at the cemetery gate? hvd.32044074315045 The Moore house?"
hvd.32044074315045	The boy who delivered Miss Moore's bridal bouquet?
hvd.32044074315045	The boy who delivered Miss Moore's bridal bouquet?
hvd.32044074315045	The conversation, then, was about your wife?
hvd.32044074315045	The cover? hvd.32044074315045 The house in Waverley Avenue?"
hvd.32044074315045	The old picture? hvd.32044074315045 Then it is still in that room?"
hvd.32044074315045	Then what are your reasons for this belief?
hvd.32044074315045	Then you can not aid her?
hvd.32044074315045	Then you did enter the house?
hvd.32044074315045	Then you had no knowledge of the contract she had entered into while a school- girl?
hvd.32044074315045	To what am I indebted for this second visit from you?
hvd.32044074315045	Unhappily?
hvd.32044074315045	Unseated by the mishap occurring at her mar- riage?
hvd.32044074315045	WHO WILL TELL THE MAN?
hvd.32044074315045	Was Mr. Jeffrey in the house?
hvd.32044074315045	Was it?
hvd.32044074315045	Was she as clever as I said?
hvd.32044074315045	Was this wound which you characterize as minute a recent one?
hvd.32044074315045	Well?
hvd.32044074315045	Were you not in the Congressional Library looking up at the lunettes and gorgeously painted walls?
hvd.32044074315045	Were you there when she first came as a bride from the Moore house?
hvd.32044074315045	What can you tell us about the interview you had with you sister prior to her going out on the night of her death?
hvd.32044074315045	What candle and what candelabrum?
hvd.32044074315045	What color of book?
hvd.32044074315045	What did he do, Loretta?
hvd.32044074315045	What did she do?
hvd.32044074315045	What did she say?
hvd.32044074315045	What did you do there?
hvd.32044074315045	What did you imagine that you had found?
hvd.32044074315045	What do you mean, Jinny?
hvd.32044074315045	What has happened to my niece?
hvd.32044074315045	What has she been keeping back?
hvd.32044074315045	What have you to say to me?
hvd.32044074315045	What ladies?
hvd.32044074315045	What light did you use?
hvd.32044074315045	What other?
hvd.32044074315045	What snarl is here?
hvd.32044074315045	What was the date of the evening on which he told you he had placed money in bank for you?
hvd.32044074315045	What were you thinking about?
hvd.32044074315045	When are these early- morning trespasses upon an honest citizen's property coming to an end? hvd.32044074315045 When did these advertisements ap- pear?"
hvd.32044074315045	When did you see your sister last?
hvd.32044074315045	When is this to cease?
hvd.32044074315045	When was this visit paid, Mr. Jeffrey? hvd.32044074315045 Where did you get the one you have?
hvd.32044074315045	Where does this book- shelf stand?
hvd.32044074315045	Where?
hvd.32044074315045	Which he did?
hvd.32044074315045	Who are you?
hvd.32044074315045	Who was the man who collected and carried out those things from the southwest chamber?
hvd.32044074315045	Whom are you talking about?
hvd.32044074315045	Whom can you possibly mean by she?
hvd.32044074315045	Whom do you mean by'little friend'and what is her name?
hvd.32044074315045	Whose word have you for that? hvd.32044074315045 Why did n't he tell us this before?"
hvd.32044074315045	Why did you go there?
hvd.32044074315045	Why do you do that?
hvd.32044074315045	Why do you keep your own counsel so long? hvd.32044074315045 Why do you say, unhappily?"
hvd.32044074315045	Why should I? hvd.32044074315045 Why, if your wife's death caused you such in- tense grief, did you appear so relieved at receiving this by no means consoling explanation?"
hvd.32044074315045	Why?
hvd.32044074315045	Why?
hvd.32044074315045	Will you 70 THE FILIGBEE BALL pardon me if I put it now as a question? hvd.32044074315045 Will you give us the name of this novel?"
hvd.32044074315045	Will you show it to the jury?
hvd.32044074315045	Will you state them?
hvd.32044074315045	With recrimination or any display of passion on the part of your wife?
hvd.32044074315045	Yet these sisters spent but little time together?
hvd.32044074315045	Yet you went over to the table?
hvd.32044074315045	You acknowledge that?
hvd.32044074315045	You are a Moore and live in or near that old house?
hvd.32044074315045	You are right; but why should n't it include you?
hvd.32044074315045	You are sure?
hvd.32044074315045	You can not give us any phrase or word that was uttered there?
hvd.32044074315045	You can say if she left alone or in the com- pany of her husband?
hvd.32044074315045	You did love your wife, then? hvd.32044074315045 You did not remain before these book- shelves long?"
hvd.32044074315045	You did not see them?
hvd.32044074315045	You entered by the front door, then?
hvd.32044074315045	You really think that?
hvd.32044074315045	You recognize him positively?
hvd.32044074315045	You recognize it?
hvd.32044074315045	You refer to Miss Tuttle?
hvd.32044074315045	You think that an odd thing for me to do?
hvd.32044074315045	Your mother — your sister?
hvd.32044074315045	'Have I not said?'
hvd.32044074315045	'Have I not said?'
hvd.32044074315045	'Is n't he here?'
hvd.32044074315045	'Why does n't she come and see that that bouquet is taken in?
hvd.32044074315045	152 THE FILIGREE BALL Did she appear any better satisfied or more com- posed? ” “ I think she endeavored to.
hvd.32044074315045	164 THE FILIGREE BALL"Anything else?"
hvd.32044074315045	268 THE FILIGREE BALL Was that it?
hvd.32044074315045	A candle had been lit in that room — could it have been by him in his search for this object?
hvd.32044074315045	A candle had been lit in that room — could it have been by him in his search for this object?
hvd.32044074315045	AKE OF THIS?
hvd.32044074315045	ARE YOU SPEAKING OF THE MOORE HOUSE?"
hvd.32044074315045	And I did forget it- al- “ WHO WILL TELL THE MAN? ” 383 out cin most.
hvd.32044074315045	And did your wife blow out the one in the library herself, previous to the shooting, or was it blown out afterward and by other lips?"
hvd.32044074315045	And how did you get in?"
hvd.32044074315045	And what did I find inside?
hvd.32044074315045	And where do you think it lies?
hvd.32044074315045	And where do you think it lies?
hvd.32044074315045	And who do you think it was who called attention to this loss and demanded that the article be found?
hvd.32044074315045	And why did she give you money?
hvd.32044074315045	And why did she give you money?
hvd.32044074315045	And why do we find you lying here in a spot you so feared and detested?"
hvd.32044074315045	And why?
hvd.32044074315045	Are these intrusions necessary?
hvd.32044074315045	Are we not right in supposing a deep- er cause for the disturbance between you than the slight one you offer in way of explanation?"
hvd.32044074315045	Are you going immediately into town?"
hvd.32044074315045	At some former time, then?
hvd.32044074315045	Be- fore or after your wife pulled the trigger which ended her life?
hvd.32044074315045	Before visiting the house?
hvd.32044074315045	But a victim to what?
hvd.32044074315045	But did it show any- thing more?
hvd.32044074315045	But did it show any- thing more?
hvd.32044074315045	But instead of continuing on the line he had opened up, he pro- ceeded to ask:"Where were you when this officer brought the news you mention?"
hvd.32044074315045	But might he not have had some other reason for his apparent niggardliness?
hvd.32044074315045	But my curiosity was by this time roused to"THE MOORE HOUSE?"
hvd.32044074315045	But what in the nature of human woe could impose on him?
hvd.32044074315045	But where was I to seek for this clue?
hvd.32044074315045	But you have not answered my question; whom do you mean by she?"
hvd.32044074315045	By you?"
hvd.32044074315045	Can I do any- thing for you?"
hvd.32044074315045	Can it possibly be Mrs. Jeffrey or her husband?"
hvd.32044074315045	Can you give me any instance of this; mention, I mean, any conver- sations overheard by you which would show us just what you mean?"
hvd.32044074315045	Come on or — Well, what now?"
hvd.32044074315045	Could I hope to guess what presented itself to Mr. Moore as a difficult if not insolvable problem?
hvd.32044074315045	Could it be possible that those curtains concealed some one in hiding behind them?
hvd.32044074315045	Could this idea be established, and, if so, how?
hvd.32044074315045	Creaks, does it?
hvd.32044074315045	DETAILS 149"How long have you been in this house?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did I dread to recognize a too familiar face?
hvd.32044074315045	Did I feel set up by this?
hvd.32044074315045	Did I find it of interest?
hvd.32044074315045	Did any one?
hvd.32044074315045	Did he catch this expression of sorrow from one whose presence he as yet had given no token of recognizing?
hvd.32044074315045	Did he know Mr. Moore, and his house which was somewhere near?
hvd.32044074315045	Did her mind seem to run on that? ”"Incessantly at first; but afterward not so much.
hvd.32044074315045	Did his wife know that he was going to dine out?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did n't you know that?
hvd.32044074315045	Did she make any allusion to it, I mean?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did she walk?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did some sudden realization of what she had done in marrying a man whom she herself declared she did not love come when it was too late?
hvd.32044074315045	Did the coroner perceive this and recognize at last both the measure of her attractions and the power they were likely to carry with them?
hvd.32044074315045	Did the same thought strike my companion?
hvd.32044074315045	Did you consider her well and happy?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did you meet Mr. Moore during the course of your visit to a neighborhood over which he seems to hold absolute sway?"
hvd.32044074315045	Did you read the note?"
hvd.32044074315045	Do n't you think this the true explanation of his invariably moody brow and the great dis- taste he always showed for this same library?
hvd.32044074315045	Do not ask me"WHO WILL TELL THE MAN?"
hvd.32044074315045	Do you ask what this discovery was?
hvd.32044074315045	Do you belong to the army?'
hvd.32044074315045	Do you flatter yourself that he can tell you anything that other people do n't know?
hvd.32044074315045	Do you for a mo- ment think that I entered that old house?"
hvd.32044074315045	Do you remember what occurred on the bridge at Georgetown just before you came into town that night?"
hvd.32044074315045	Do you think she was a welcome visitor in this house?"
hvd.32044074315045	Do you think that any ordinary quarrel between hus- band and wife would account for the display of such fury?
hvd.32044074315045	Do you want to be present?"
hvd.32044074315045	Doubtless it had been returned with the other things to Mr. Jeffrey, and yet, who knows?
hvd.32044074315045	Dust from what?
hvd.32044074315045	From whom?
hvd.32044074315045	Got up on a chair on purpose to do so?"
hvd.32044074315045	Had DETAILS 145 there dawned upon him as my testimony was given any suspicion of the trick by which he had been proved responsible for those marks?
hvd.32044074315045	Had Mr. Jeffrey placed the small stand holding the candelabrum on the spot where it had been found?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he also bought matches?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he been at the Moore house on the night of the eleventh at any time previous to the hour when he was brought there by the officials?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he bought candles or not at the grocer's around the corner?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he carried into the house, at the time of his acknowledged visit, the candles which had been afterward discovered there?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he done so in an effort to 44 THE FILIGREE BALL balance himself for a look up the chimney?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he interrupted his writing to finish his query in blood, and had one of his motives for this crime been the acquisition of this filigree ball?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he interrupted his writing to finish his query in blood, and had one of his motives for this crime been the acquisition of this filigree ball?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he met her there by any appointment he had made with her or which had been made for them both by some third person?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he not so used them?
hvd.32044074315045	Had he noticed when he got home that the box he had just bought was half empty?
hvd.32044074315045	Had her hand brought it there?
hvd.32044074315045	Had she been robbed?
hvd.32044074315045	Had the witness accompanied his wife to the Moore house?
hvd.32044074315045	Had this interest been a general one or had it centered in a particular volume?
hvd.32044074315045	Had this latent suspicion against Mr. Moore any solid foundation?
hvd.32044074315045	Has anything fresh happened in the old house?"
hvd.32044074315045	Have I said anything I should n't?"
hvd.32044074315045	Have I said anything I should n't?"
hvd.32044074315045	Have I said so; or do those old walls babble in their sleep?"
hvd.32044074315045	He is still breathing?"
hvd.32044074315045	He used to change very much when-when- rwhen Miss Tuttle came into the room. ” DETAILS 158"Change toward his wife?"
hvd.32044074315045	Her bridegroom?
hvd.32044074315045	Himself?
hvd.32044074315045	His life in the little cottage was so engrossing — he had his organ — his dog — why should he look out of the window?
hvd.32044074315045	How could we account for that?
hvd.32044074315045	How do you propose to reconcile your assertions with a fact so undeniable?"
hvd.32044074315045	How long be- fore her death?"
hvd.32044074315045	How then?
hvd.32044074315045	How's that, if he was her husband, William?"
hvd.32044074315045	I REMAIN 45 Then wherein lay its charm,—a charm which I my- self had felt, though not to this extent?
hvd.32044074315045	I am sorry to speak of it, but it was so. ” “ Something that showed an unsettled mind? ” “ Almost.
hvd.32044074315045	I asked;"and how came you here?
hvd.32044074315045	I did n't know him; but I saw her —""Where?
hvd.32044074315045	I did n't know him; but I saw her —""Where?
hvd.32044074315045	I do not say that it has; but such a thing is pos- sible, you know: who better?"
hvd.32044074315045	I had acquainted myself with the open facts of this family's history; but what of its inner life?
hvd.32044074315045	I remember that the man stared at her for taking it so quietly and asking no questions. ” “ And did she speak at all? ” “ Oh, yes, afterwards.
hvd.32044074315045	I suppose you are anxious to move in?"
hvd.32044074315045	I was terrified at delay, not because I feared any"WHO WILL TELL THE MAN?"
hvd.32044074315045	I wonder if she will blame me for it?"
hvd.32044074315045	If I thought any one was with her at that moment —""Well?"
hvd.32044074315045	If burn- ing, then by whom had it since been blown out?
hvd.32044074315045	If so, why had he left it on the table up- stairs?
hvd.32044074315045	If so, why had he left it on the table up- stairs?
hvd.32044074315045	If this was so — and what other theory would better or even so well account for her peculiar behavior both then and afterward?
hvd.32044074315045	In itself it was nothing but a minute magnifying glass; but when used in connection with — what?
hvd.32044074315045	Is it not natural that his daughter should share this feeling?'
hvd.32044074315045	Is it — is it a haunted room?
hvd.32044074315045	Is it — is it a haunted room?'
hvd.32044074315045	Is this true?"
hvd.32044074315045	It was feelingly uttered, and several faces light- ened; but the coroner repeating:"Is there no way you can prove this to our satisfaction?"
hvd.32044074315045	It was the very night that his wife — But what's up?
hvd.32044074315045	It was you and not she who had a right to be jealous?
hvd.32044074315045	Jeffrey?"
hvd.32044074315045	Jeffrey?"
hvd.32044074315045	Jeffrey?"
hvd.32044074315045	Jeffrey?"
hvd.32044074315045	May I beg that you will pre- pare yourself to go at once to Waverley Avenue?"
hvd.32044074315045	May I then ask if you have anything to say about this visit?
hvd.32044074315045	Moore?"
hvd.32044074315045	Mr. Jeffrey looked up as much as to say,"Why so many small questions about so simple a matter?"
hvd.32044074315045	Mr. Jeffrey was saying,'What's that?
hvd.32044074315045	Mr. Jeffrey's reason for his visit there could not be her reason, yet what other had she to give?
hvd.32044074315045	Must I go back to the major with my con- victions unchanged but with no fresh proof, no real evidence to support them?
hvd.32044074315045	Nevertheless he had used many matches in going through this old house, had he not?
hvd.32044074315045	Now may I ask you to describe the cover of this book?"
hvd.32044074315045	Now what 150 THE FILIGREE BALL was the result?
hvd.32044074315045	Now what is the matter with the Moore house?"
hvd.32044074315045	Now, by whom had this frenzy been shown, and when?
hvd.32044074315045	Now, when was this?
hvd.32044074315045	Oh, sir, when are you going back?"
hvd.32044074315045	Oh, sir, when are you going back?"
hvd.32044074315045	Oh, what have I done?"
hvd.32044074315045	Or had she thrown it away, and if so, where?
hvd.32044074315045	Or had she within herself some great source of strength, which sustained her in this most dreadful ordeal?
hvd.32044074315045	Or perhaps you prefer to have it down rather than up?
hvd.32044074315045	Or was the action the result of an unconscious habit?
hvd.32044074315045	Pecu- liar in a bride, is n't it?
hvd.32044074315045	Perhaps, for his voice took an acrid note as he declared:"You had another errand in that room?"
hvd.32044074315045	Perhaps; but if so, why could it not be found?
hvd.32044074315045	Possibly; but to what duty?
hvd.32044074315045	Question: Did this argue a natural expectation on her part of resuming her hat?
hvd.32044074315045	She admits to having been there when the pistol was fired, unless —""Unless what?
hvd.32044074315045	She came with him of course?"
hvd.32044074315045	She had no appearance of it; she laughed when I —"What had she been about to say?
hvd.32044074315045	Should I be able to finish my story before Durbin returned?
hvd.32044074315045	Should I proceed or await the coming of the"boys"before pushing in upon a possible murderer?
hvd.32044074315045	Should I search for it?
hvd.32044074315045	Should I trust my lucky GOSSIP 88 star and remain for the nonce quiescent?
hvd.32044074315045	Should you not say that the ring had been dragged from her hand?"
hvd.32044074315045	Some- thing equally bold and reprehensible, of course, but what?
hvd.32044074315045	Suddenly he spoke and asked,'Why must Cora remain with us?'
hvd.32044074315045	THE FILIGREE BALL"Were you at home when she left her husband's house?"
hvd.32044074315045	THRUST AND PARRY 181"At the ambassador's ball?"
hvd.32044074315045	Tell my story to the major and depend on him to push the matter to its proper conclusion?
hvd.32044074315045	Tell my story to the major and depend on him to push the matter to its proper conclusion?
hvd.32044074315045	That dear little place all smothered in vines?
hvd.32044074315045	That they had come from some eye- witness I had no doubt, but who was the eye- witness?
hvd.32044074315045	The captain answered by a question:"How do you account for her being here at all?
hvd.32044074315045	The ceremony had been late; did I know it?
hvd.32044074315045	The first question he now put was:"Where did you find the slip of paper contain- ing these last words from your wife?"
hvd.32044074315045	The major, with his eyes fixed piercingly on this miserable man, replied with one pregnant sen- tence:"Then you forced your wife to suicide?"
hvd.32044074315045	Then I asked myself what she would be likely to do with this ring after disen- gaging it from her hand?
hvd.32044074315045	Then I have seen her flush in a way to make the heart ache; it was such a contrast, sir, to other times when she was by herself or —""Or what?"
hvd.32044074315045	Then quickly and with a sharp look at Miss Tuttle:"Do you know if this was consid- ered an accurate timepiece?"
hvd.32044074315045	Then, realiz- ing that denial in this regard was fatal, he added more genially: “ What do you mean by memoran- dum?
hvd.32044074315045	Then, while she was seated where she could not see my face, I whispered the question:'Do you know that you have had a horrible dream?'
hvd.32044074315045	There is no doubt about your believing this?"
hvd.32044074315045	This gave the coroner an opportunity to ask:"And why did you expect to find a candle there?"
hvd.32044074315045	Through what devious ways and from what unexpected sources had I come upon this knowledge?
hvd.32044074315045	Through what devious ways and from what unexpected sources had I come upon this knowledge?
hvd.32044074315045	Through whose influence?
hvd.32044074315045	To light his way upstairs, per- haps?
hvd.32044074315045	To some exagger- ated sense of duty?
hvd.32044074315045	Trust what?
hvd.32044074315045	WHITE BOW AND PINK 229"But something was said by you and some an- swer was made by him?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was I doomed to defeat, then?
hvd.32044074315045	Was Miss Tuttle out that evening?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was he acting a part or did he really forget just what it was for his own best welfare to remember?
hvd.32044074315045	Was he not your informant?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was he talking by rote, or was he utterly done with life and all its interests?
hvd.32044074315045	Was he the guilty man?
hvd.32044074315045	Was it in answer to this appeal or because I realized that I had come at last upon a clue calling for immediate action?
hvd.32044074315045	Was it in answer to this appeal or because I realized that I had come at last upon a clue calling for immediate action?
hvd.32044074315045	Was it simply an expression of her secret devotion to him or the signal of some compact which had been entered into between them?
hvd.32044074315045	Was it — could it be, on her own account?
hvd.32044074315045	Was n't it Mrs. Jef- frey?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was n't it Mrs. Jef- frey?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was n't that the freak of an idle man, wandering, he hardly knows why, from room to room in an old and deserted house?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was n't the pistol found tied, to her?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was no attempt made to see if the pistol was or was not in the drawer?"
hvd.32044074315045	Was the house dark or light when you entered it?
hvd.32044074315045	Was the man who died here a fort- night since accountable for these ashes?
hvd.32044074315045	Was the suffering merely one of outraged delicacy?
hvd.32044074315045	Was there meaning in this coincidence?
hvd.32044074315045	Was this in- creased or diminished by the tone of the few lines she left behind her?"
hvd.32044074315045	We will hunt for the spring under the closet drawers and see what hap- pens, eh?
hvd.32044074315045	Were the lines of her A FRESH START 259 last farewell true then, and did she experience at that moment a sudden realization of her lack of love?
hvd.32044074315045	Were there other causes for the young bride's evident disappointment and misery besides the one intimated?
hvd.32044074315045	Were these details necessary?
hvd.32044074315045	Were you and Miss Tuttle ever engaged?"
hvd.32044074315045	What are we that we should hope to avert it by any act or at any cost?"
hvd.32044074315045	What article of jewelry?
hvd.32044074315045	What call had I to penetrate the conscience of this woman?
hvd.32044074315045	What call had I to penetrate the conscience of this woman?
hvd.32044074315045	What cause had you for death?
hvd.32044074315045	What could be more thrilling, or appeal more closely to the general heart of humanity?
hvd.32044074315045	What could this quaint and characteristic little body have to do with this case of doubtful suicide?
hvd.32044074315045	What do you make of this?"
hvd.32044074315045	What do you think it means?"
hvd.32044074315045	What do you think?"
hvd.32044074315045	What do you want to know?"
hvd.32044074315045	What do you want to know?"
hvd.32044074315045	What explanation have you, as her husband, to give for this strange suicide of your wife?"
hvd.32044074315045	What is it?"
hvd.32044074315045	What kind?
hvd.32044074315045	What might be expected next?
hvd.32044074315045	What old picture?"
hvd.32044074315045	What was I to do then?
hvd.32044074315045	What was I to do then?
hvd.32044074315045	What was it?
hvd.32044074315045	What was the con- clusion?
hvd.32044074315045	What was the reason then that my mind refused so emphatic- ally to grasp this possibility and settle upon him as the murderer of Mrs. Jeffrey?
hvd.32044074315045	What was the reason then that my mind refused so emphatic- ally to grasp this possibility and settle upon him as the murderer of Mrs. Jeffrey?
hvd.32044074315045	What was there in this old picture to arouse such curiosity in one bent on evil if not fresh from a hideous crime?
hvd.32044074315045	What was there left for him to say, or even to do?
hvd.32044074315045	What would their verdict be?
hvd.32044074315045	What's the matter, sir?
hvd.32044074315045	What's the matter, sir?
hvd.32044074315045	What, then, was it that I saw glitter- ing on a small table at the other end of the room?
hvd.32044074315045	What, then, was it?
hvd.32044074315045	When was it opened again?"
hvd.32044074315045	When you heard a pistol- shot sounding from the depths of that dark library, what did you think it meant?"
hvd.32044074315045	Whence came those candles?
hvd.32044074315045	Where is her watch?
hvd.32044074315045	Where is my sister?"
hvd.32044074315045	Where were you in the interim?"
hvd.32044074315045	Who fashioned it, I mean, or tied it for you, if that is what I ought to say?"
hvd.32044074315045	Who knew it?
hvd.32044074315045	Who then?
hvd.32044074315045	Who will avenge you, and where will you ever find happiness?
hvd.32044074315045	Who, then, had it been?
hvd.32044074315045	Whose mind?
hvd.32044074315045	Whose mind?
hvd.32044074315045	Whose mind?
hvd.32044074315045	Whose was the influence?
hvd.32044074315045	Why do you ask?
hvd.32044074315045	Why do you leave that dreadful thing fast to her?
hvd.32044074315045	Why had he done so, if he had candles in his pocket, which were so much easier to hold and so much more lasting than a lighted match?
hvd.32044074315045	Why not mention them?"
hvd.32044074315045	Why should a man rest his finger- tips on this out- of- the- way shelf?
hvd.32044074315045	Why should n't I?
hvd.32044074315045	Why then should I be expected to mourn over a niece who did not care enough for me to invite me to her wedding?
hvd.32044074315045	Why?
hvd.32044074315045	Why?
hvd.32044074315045	Why?
hvd.32044074315045	Why?"
hvd.32044074315045	Will they seem as pathetic to the eye as they did to the ear in that room of awesome memories and present death?
hvd.32044074315045	Will you be kind enough to repeat the circumstance?
hvd.32044074315045	Will you read them?
hvd.32044074315045	Will you read them?
hvd.32044074315045	Within the hour?
hvd.32044074315045	Without conscious emotion, without fear even,—the ending of suspense had"WHO WILL TELL THE MAN?"

hvd.32044074315045	Would she keep it?
hvd.32044074315045	Would she marry, and, if so, to which of the many wealthy or prominent men who had openly courted her would she accord her hand?

hvd.hnny6g	But perhaps your mind is not used to logic? ” “ Never heard of it, ” said Daniel.
hvd.hnny6g	But what I ax you three men is this: If I put that money into your pockets, will you do something for me? ”.
hvd.hnny6g	But you, Minnie- what is this to you? ” “ Death, ” she said.

hvd.hnny6g	“ And do you mean that you know anything? ” asked the inspector, much excited.
hvd.hnny6g	“ An’I dare say there'll be a nice pheasant for supper to- morrow night at Hangman's Hut- eh, Dan? ” asked one.

hvd.hnny6g	“ Have'e heard or seen aught of Jordan? ” he asked.
hvd.hnny6g	“ He is, Minnie; but how did you know that? ” She marked his use of her Christian name.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Here you be then? ”.
hvd.hnny6g	“ However did you come to like me best, Min?"
hvd.hnny6g	“ I counted to find you, sir, as was my friend always, ready to stand up for me against But what can I say?

hvd.hnny6g	“ Maybe'tis the old hands, father?"
hvd.hnny6g	“ Next time you come up, then? ” “ That will be Sunday night, if I may. ” She nodded.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Seen anybody up- along, mate? ” asked one.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Shall I hang over this job, do'e reckon, Mr. Corder? ” asked Daniel humbly.
hvd.hnny6g	“ She told us the secret and I made a joyous 162 DANIEL SWEETLAND rhyme about it; but what's rhymes to her now?
hvd.hnny6g	“ So you'm going up for to see the li'l house, my pretty?
hvd.hnny6g	“ The question is, who are you? ” 60'Tis Daniel Sweetland- just married, ” de- clared Inspector Gregory, who knew the Sweet- lands well.
hvd.hnny6g	“ This here was the man who had that cute thought that the burglars to Westcombe got away in a motor car- didn't he, Gregory?"
hvd.hnny6g	“ To think your 136 DANIEL SWEETLAND sharp eyes have seen- but what do n't they see- even to a button?
hvd.hnny6g	“ What do you say, Corder? ” “ The Law's clear for that matter,"answered the big man.
hvd.hnny6g	“ What motive should he have to lie about it?"
hvd.hnny6g	“ What sort of a captain have you got? ” “ A very good old man.
hvd.hnny6g	“ What's the matter? ” inquired Mrs. Beer.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Who are you and what do you do here? ” 202 DANIEL SWEETLAND asked the Overseer.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Who be you- Goliath of Gath, I should reck- on? ” said Dan stoutly, as the big man barred his way.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Who was you, sar? ” he asked.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Why did you make me say those cruel things?
hvd.hnny6g	“ Why for do n't the man call parson to him?
hvd.hnny6g	“ Why not read it now? ” he asked as he handed the letter to her.
hvd.hnny6g	“ Why not?
hvd.hnny6g	“ Whyfor do n't the man's relations come to him?"
hvd.hnny6g	“ You larf- eh?
hvd.hnny6g	“ You no answer me, sar?
hvd.hnny6g	“ You see, that money have got to be earned, an'why for should n't we earn it?
hvd.hnny6g	“ You wo n't give'em up?"
hvd.hnny6g	“'Twas you who first thought as I might have a hand in that business myself, Luke? ” “ No, no; Mr. Gregory here."
hvd.hn3gez	Could the fellow have seen us and slipped away?
hvd.hn3gez	Have n't you come home earlier than you planned? hvd.hn3gez I wonder whether you know anything about these? ” “ I know the gentleman who seems to have charge of the matter.
hvd.hn3gez	I wonder why Andrew loaded himself up with that heavy ruck- sack on a day like this? ” he said. hvd.hn3gez Little?
hvd.hn3gez	No,Andrew answered quietly;"nothing very marked. ” “ And you are still resolved to keep them in your own hands, after the news we got to- night?
hvd.hn3gez	152 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER the hands of one particular lawyer, what would you think? ” “ It might be accounted for very simply.
hvd.hn3gez	154 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER “ I suppose Mr. Williamson comes here when he's in town? ” he said to a man at work near by.
hvd.hn3gez	168 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER “ How's the tide? ” “ High- water's about one o'clock.
hvd.hn3gez	180 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER “ Tell me, ” she said,"was it on Dick's account you asked Williamson for a match? ” “ No; that is, not directly.
hvd.hn3gez	96 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER “ Why would ye wish that?"
hvd.hn3gez	A promise that, at the risk of offending him, I'll be very firm in future? ” Elsie was silent for a moment and then looked at him calmly.
hvd.hn3gez	Am I mistaken?"
hvd.hn3gez	And where is he? ” “ On board Andrew's yacht, I imagine. ” Elsie was sensible of keen satisfaction; but only part of her fears were set at rest.
hvd.hn3gez	Andrew's ear- marked for somebody else. ” “ Elsie Woodhouse?
hvd.hn3gez	Are you afraid of him?"
hvd.hn3gez	But what did he mean about his being insured, and somebody else's paying the premi- ums?"
hvd.hn3gez	But what did you mean by saying I took a risk? ” “ We'll talk of that again.
hvd.hn3gez	But what must we do? ” “ Watch for the German sailor, first of all, ” Madge advised.
hvd.hn3gez	But what would bring her here? ” “ That's the point, ” said Andrew.
hvd.hn3gez	But when he'd finished he offered me a scrap of advice — I'd better see a private doctor at once. ” “ Did you? ” Dick chuckled.
hvd.hn3gez	But why did you ask for a match when you had some? ” Whitney looked at her frankly.
hvd.hn3gez	But would she be quick enough?
hvd.hn3gez	But, after all, what could he do?
hvd.hn3gez	Ca n't you think of another plan? ” Andrew occupied himself with the bearing of the light, while Whitney braced his aching arms against the tiller.
hvd.hn3gez	Can I give him a message when he comes back? ” Marshall hesitated.
hvd.hn3gez	Can we get on board? ” he said.."We'll try, ” Andrew replied.
hvd.hn3gez	Can ye account for this?
hvd.hn3gez	Can you? ” “ No,"Staffer said with a quick laugh.
hvd.hn3gez	Could you jump on board our gig? ” “ Ca n't leave the boat! ” shouted Andrew, letting her forge ahead a few yards nearer.
hvd.hn3gez	Did Staffer imagine she was in Andrew's confidence and secretly helping him; and had he believed her state- ment that she had destroyed the letter?
hvd.hn3gez	Did you expect to find anything of the sort? ” “ To tell the truth, I do n't know what I did expect to find.
hvd.hn3gez	Did you notice Staffer's attempt to learn if you knew much about the North Channel? ” “ Yes; but we'll let that go for the present.
hvd.hn3gez	Did you see the car's number? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Did you tell Staffer what the doctor said? ” “ I was n't quite as frank with him as I've been with you; one is n't proud of being a lame duck.
hvd.hn3gez	Do n't you think Andrew's able to take care of his cousin?"
hvd.hn3gez	Do you expect me to understand your action?
hvd.hn3gez	Do you know him?"
hvd.hn3gez	Do you know that Dick's heart is weak, and dissipation and excitement are bad for him? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Do you know who it is? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gez	Do you mean you would n't tell me? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gez	Do you want to see the men we picked up?
hvd.hn3gez	Good, salted oak will last for many years under water. ” “ How did they get the coal away? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	Had he any business there? ” “ None that I know of; we deal with Glasgow.
hvd.hn3gez	Had n't you better tell me about it?"
hvd.hn3gez	Has he any friends in Galloway who might give him some shooting? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Has he been indulging in any rashness since then? ” “ No, nothing fresh; but I'm afraid he's heavily in debt.
hvd.hn3gez	Has he tried to pull Dick up?"
hvd.hn3gez	Have you any ground for suspecting who+ must be s brought him the warning? ” Foung girl a “ None, ” said Andrew shortly.
hvd.hn3gez	Have you learned any- thing? ” Rankine smiled."
hvd.hn3gez	He and his stepfather do n't get on. ” “ On the contrary, they get on very well; that's the trouble. ” “ How?"
hvd.hn3gez	He was right in saying that we'd brought up in an exposed place; but why did he tell us ducks were plentiful down west?
hvd.hn3gez	He's at Stranraer and seemed to think I ought to look after the boat. ” “ The boat?
hvd.hn3gez	He's fond of wildfowling, and I took advantage of it to get him away. ” “ Away from what?"
hvd.hn3gez	How do you propose to turn me out? ” “ We'll apply for the necessary powers, ” Mackellar answered.
hvd.hn3gez	How long have they had him?"
hvd.hn3gez	How much am I in? ” 124 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER Williamson took out his notebook, and Dick got a shock.
hvd.hn3gez	I can understand what struck your brother: I felt it myself when I first saw her, after I came back. ” “ Elsie had grown up?"
hvd.hn3gez	I do n't suppose you'll mind doing an errand for me in the meantime?"
hvd.hn3gez	I have nothing but vague suspicions to go upon. ” “ Then you suspect somebody? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn3gez	I may have been running harder than was good for me; but ca n't you under- stand that one shrinks from making a fuss about one's weaknesses?"
hvd.hn3gez	I suppose this is for Mr. Johnstone alone? ” “ Just that, ” said Marshall.
hvd.hn3gez	I suppose you can use a gun? ” “ We get a shot at a whaup or shellduck whiles.
hvd.hn3gez	I suppose you have n't seen any turf that might have been dug over recently, or stones that seemed to have been pulled up?"
hvd.hn3gez	I suppose you kept a good lookout? ” “ Of course.
hvd.hn3gez	I was thinking of them all and I could n't sleep. ” “ Are you ready to come down?"
hvd.hn3gez	I wonder what depth there is?"
hvd.hn3gez	I'm rather curious about his rank; but he's obviously a navy man. ” “ He'll be court- martialed? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gez	If we cross the end of the hill going southeast, we would strike the sands somewhere abreast of the wreck?"
hvd.hn3gez	In fact, it's not safe to meet them in the dark. ” “ You imagine this turnout is n't merely part of the men's training? ” Andrew asked.
hvd.hn3gez	Is he fool enough to run into the back of it? ” “ I do n't know,"said Andrew.
hvd.hn3gez	Is it only on Dick's account? ” “ No; I feel that he may bring trouble to us all.
hvd.hn3gez	Is n't she quite safe?"
hvd.hn3gez	It seems ye do not know that two doctors would not pass him for the army. ” “ On what grounds?"
hvd.hn3gez	John- stone's?"
hvd.hn3gez	May I suggest that you're rather wasting your talents?
hvd.hn3gez	No doubt, they'll push across the moors toward Black Beast?"
hvd.hn3gez	One of your smart set? ” “ He's extravagant, but he never gets into debt.
hvd.hn3gez	Perhaps the net's over. ” “ What's that light ashore? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	Shall I get up?"
hvd.hn3gez	Shall we go dig? ” 210 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER “ No; we'd be seen from the shore, and a good glass would show what we were doing.
hvd.hn3gez	She understands?
hvd.hn3gez	Staffer does n't take much stock in me. ” “ But what object can he have? ” “ Ca n't say, ” Whitney answered non- committally.
hvd.hn3gez	Staffer offer any explanation for leaving here early this morning?"
hvd.hn3gez	Staffer said? ” “ I ca n't remember exactly, but I understood you thought the boat might drag.'
hvd.hn3gez	Staffer sent ye off in his car to see if she was a'right? ” Marshall chuckled.
hvd.hn3gez	Still, I alloo it might have been Inverness. ” “ And the man who was with him?"
hvd.hn3gez	Still, I do n't quite understand — ” “ You do n't see why she let him go, when she thought it might be dangerous? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Suppose I hinted that he insisted on following his bent although I tried to restrain him?"
hvd.hn3gez	Suppose we leave the punt and walk down the edge?
hvd.hn3gez	That would keep me occupied- if I could find nothing else. ” “ Pretty lonely though, is n't it? ” “ Sometimes.
hvd.hn3gez	The conse- quence was I did n't pass. ” “ You did n't learn much about yourself from him? ” “ Not much!
hvd.hn3gez	The question was: What had he undertaken?
hvd.hn3gez	Then we saw another fellow on the sands at night; but that's all I have to tell. ” “ Could you see either of the men clearly? ” “ No.
hvd.hn3gez	Then, why had the man in oilskins come to Appleyard when he might have expected every one to be asleep?
hvd.hn3gez	Things are serious when Dick's cast down. ” “ Do you know what the doctor said? ” “ No; Dick would n't tell me.
hvd.hn3gez	Think coast- guards will see your flare? ” “ Where's Williamson and the other fellow?"
hvd.hn3gez	Think coast- guards will see your flare? ” “ Where's Williamson and the other fellow?"
hvd.hn3gez	This means you want to keep the real explanation from your cousin? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Was I wrong? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Was n't it blowing hard? ” “ Hard enough, ” smiled Rankine.
hvd.hn3gez	We'll land them and leave a guard on board when she's moored. ” “ Very well, if we ca n't take her to Barrow this tide?"
hvd.hn3gez	Were you much at Appleyard afterward? ” “ No.
hvd.hn3gez	What about the east?
hvd.hn3gez	What about the tide? ” Andrew began to understand the situation.
hvd.hn3gez	What about yourself? ”"Oh, ” he said with a brave effort to be cheerful, “ I do n't count for much.
hvd.hn3gez	What are we to do? ” 182 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER Whitney hesitated.
hvd.hn3gez	What brings you up Criffell in full uniform?
hvd.hn3gez	What did you hear? ” she asked in a whisper.
hvd.hn3gez	What do you think, Andrew?
hvd.hn3gez	What does Rowan mean? ” asked Whitney.
hvd.hn3gez	What d’you want? ” “ To see you! ”.
hvd.hn3gez	What is it, Dick? ” “ I know the car,"Dick said grimly; “ but it is n't nice to think your own friends came near killing you."
hvd.hn3gez	What kind of fellows are the whammelers?"
hvd.hn3gez	What will she do then, unless she marries somebody? ” “ I do not know, ” Mrs. Woodhouse answered in a placid tone.
hvd.hn3gez	What's his business? ” “ Salmon- fishing with a drift net.
hvd.hn3gez	What's the scheme? ” “ I ca n't tell you, ” Elsie answered with a careless smile.
hvd.hn3gez	Where does the other track that runs into Dumfries come from? ” “ From Glasgow. ” “ Oh! ” said Madge.
hvd.hn3gez	Where have ye been? ” “ In the other hotel.
hvd.hn3gez	Where was the need?
hvd.hn3gez	Where were you bound for when you came to grief? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Where's the knife?'
hvd.hn3gez	Which way do you suppose he's gone?
hvd.hn3gez	Whitney felt very cold, and he was getting stiffly on board when Andrew asked:. “ Had n't you better bring your coat and boots?
hvd.hn3gez	Why do n't you give my partner or Dick a hint, if you believe there's something wrong? ” “ There's aye a rizzon, ” Marshall replied with a grin.
hvd.hn3gez	Why do you ask? ” “ Because I prefer to deal with the principal instead of an agent.
hvd.hn3gez	Why do you ask? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	Why do you want to go back?
hvd.hn3gez	Why does he call himself Williamson? ” 174 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER “ Ah!
hvd.hn3gez	Will I light the stove?"
hvd.hn3gez	Will you come down and smoke a cigar- ette? ” “ No, thanks.
hvd.hn3gez	Will you come, Dick? ” “ Yes — as far as Rough Firth; but I do n't know about the rest.
hvd.hn3gez	Will you stay on board, Dick? ” “ Not much!
hvd.hn3gez	Will you take him?"
hvd.hn3gez	Will you tell Dick? ”"No.
hvd.hn3gez	Would a candle burn after rolling about for two years in salt water?"
hvd.hn3gez	You imagine it is not his name? ” “ I have known for some time that it is not. ” Staffer felt disturbed.
hvd.hn3gez	You lived in a boat for some years, did n't you? ” “ I thought of living in one again.
hvd.hn3gez	Your suggestion is that I should relinquish control of Dick and leave Appleyard at once? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	reaches Carlif the junction?
hvd.hn3gez	ver thought i Cell you how i more than| important Staffer offera morning?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ A lugsail, is n't it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ About Eskdale, of course?
hvd.hn3gez	“ And Elsie? ” Whitney suggested.
hvd.hn3gez	“ And is Thursday particularly suitable for that kind of thing?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ And went to the wreck and back at night?
hvd.hn3gez	“ And you wanted to tell Mr. Johnstone something before you left?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Andrew's there to- night, is n't he? ” “ It's possible, ” said Dick, lifting himself on his el- bow.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Appleyard would be his?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Are there any geese about?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Are we rushing it too much? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Are you badly hurt? ” he asked, breathlessly.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Are you going down? ” Madge asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Are you still pleased with him? ”."
hvd.hn3gez	“ Are you waiting for somebody, Jock?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ But I dodged him! ” “ Who is Mackellar? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ But no'the rest, which are no'in your hands? ” “ I suppose I must admit that.
hvd.hn3gez	“ But who'd want to come on board? ” Dick asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ But why?
hvd.hn3gez	“ But would he return by Edinburgh?
hvd.hn3gez	“ By the way, what about the message Sanders gave you?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Ca n't you get a fisherman to go? ” she suggested.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Can you find a good excuse for taking Dick?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Can you hit the wreck from here? ” Whitney asked."
hvd.hn3gez	“ Dick's not back? ” he said.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did he raise her too? ” “ Oh, no.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did he tell ye so? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you find much oil?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you give it to Andrew Johnstone? ” “ Why do you think I did that? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you give it to Andrew Johnstone? ” “ Why do you think I did that? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you keep the letter? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you overtake the car? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you see anybody on the bank? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you trim the lamp properly? ” Dick asked, puzzled.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Did you? ” Williamson hesitated, which was an unusual thing.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do I? ” Dick grinned.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do n't you think so, Andrew? ”"I do, ” said Andrew quietly.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you feel better? ” Whitney asked presently.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you imply that Dick's health is very bad? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you know anything about a wreck?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you know him? ”"I never saw him before, ” Andrew answered.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you know if one of the whammel boats has gone west? ” “ Yin's gone; I dinna ken where.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you know this gut? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you mean that Williamson has got hold of him again? ” “ No; I'm thinking he's out of the game, and the borrowed money's none o'his.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you mean that she was blown up?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you mind telling me what grounds you mean to urge? ” Mackellar sorted the papers in his hand, and Andrew marked his quiet deliberation.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you think I could borrow a smaller spanner here, Dick? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you think he noticed it? ” Elsie's eyes twinkled.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you think they heard Dick fall? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you think you can find it, Elsie? ” “ I'll try.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Do you want to go home because she's anxious about the fellow? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Drank more than usual? ” Andrew suggested grimly when she hesitated.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Got back all right, old man? ” “ Yes; we owe that to you."
hvd.hn3gez	“ Has he told you so? ” “ No."
hvd.hn3gez	“ Has the fellow we caught on the sands made any admissions?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you a bad memory? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you any reason to doubt the honesty of our servants? ” Elsie saw at once where his question led, and tried to nerve herself.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you help? ” “ Willie Grant comes over whiles, when I've mair than ordinar'to do.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you inquired about it?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you made any progress with your investi- gations? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you seen a small, black motorcycle? ” he asked a lounging porter.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you thought that the War Office might find something to interest them in your views? ” Andrew flushed.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Have you told any one else? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Historic country, is n't it? ” he remarked, to make Andrew talk.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How did the lamp go out? ” he asked presently.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How did you get there? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How do you know he was an Edinburgh man? ” “ There was a Waverley label on his portmanteau A FALSE ALARM 121 and he didna'speak like us.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How do you like this place? ” Andrew asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How far did you have to walk when it broke down? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How long do you think the Nance has been here? ” “ Maybe half an hour.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How long have you been here? ” Andrew asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How long have you been in Edinburgh? ” he asked, and looked thoughtful when Dick told him.
hvd.hn3gez	“ How's that?
hvd.hn3gez	“ How's the fishing? ” Andrew asked pointedly.
hvd.hn3gez	“ I ca n't see how Dick has spent so much money; but how did he get it? ”"On notes that will mature when he's twenty- one.
hvd.hn3gez	“ I never thought that Dick_"“ Shared your suspicions?
hvd.hn3gez	“ I see no other way. ” “ Does your demand extend to my sister and niece?
hvd.hn3gez	“ I suppose it would n't be difficult to recognize a submarine?
hvd.hn3gez	“ I suppose we go right up there? ” “ Maxwellton braes, ” said Andrew.
hvd.hn3gez	“ I suppose you mean to follow up the clue you've got? ” he then asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ I suppose you see the significance of this? ” Madge said.
hvd.hn3gez	“ I suppose you'd find her hard to steer if I lowered the staysail?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ I wonder how Staffer feels about me? ” he ven- tured.
hvd.hn3gez	“ I wonder if you would lend me a pound or two?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ I wonder why they sent that man to a post where ability does n't seem to be required?
hvd.hn3gez	“ I'm vexed?
hvd.hn3gez	“ If ye call again in half an hour, I may have some news. ” “ I wonder how Williamson got here? ” Andrew said when they reached the street.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Is it not determine in London that we fight? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Is that sand hard, and could one get on to it?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Is that you, Jock? ” Andrew asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Is that you, Jock? ” Andrew called; and Marshall came up.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Is the motorcycle all right, Jim? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Is there anything doing at Castle Douglas to- day?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Might n't it alarm our man? ” “ The surf would level the sand in a tide, ” Andrew 242 JOHNSTONE OF THE BORDER said; and turned to Rankine.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Now,"Madge said, “ what's the matter with you all? ” “ I do n't know, ” said Elsie.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Oh, I do n't think they mind — so long as they feel they're useful! ” “ Is that what you feel? ”.
hvd.hn3gez	“ One of your creditors?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Shall I light your candle?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ She's a strong old ship, ” Rankine remarked, and turned to another man: “ Where's that prisoner, Evans?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ She's no'stretching weel. ” “ Then have you seen a small, black motorcycle pass?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Suppose I refuse to go?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Suppose his creditors insisted on his insuring his life? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ The Tern? ” Andrew looked his surprise.
hvd.hn3gez	“ The matchbox matter?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Then she saw you?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Then why need you bother about him? ” he said.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Then why were they out? ” “ After flounders, perhaps.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Then you can reach land at low water?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Then, in the event of Dick's death, who gets the estate? ” “ Andrew Johnstone."
hvd.hn3gez	“ There is also some shot in my leg. ” “ Where's your pistol? ” Andrew asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ They burn gasolene, do n't they? ” Madge asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ We might get on better if we understood each other. ” “ Have I not been frank?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Well, Andrew, are we going on this spy hunt? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Well, is it your intention to dispute my claim or disown Dick's debts? ” Mackellar took up a paper.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Well, that's some relief; but what do you want now?
hvd.hn3gez	“ What about the digging? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What about the geese? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What about to- morrow? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What are we going to do? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What are we to do? ” Mackellar's face hardened.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What did you do with the thing? ” he asked harshly.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What did you learn? ” Andrew asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What do you expect to find here? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What do you think of doing now? ”"I do n't know, but I'm afraid I ca n't stay here as long as I expected.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What do you think of it? ” he asked."
hvd.hn3gez	“ What do you think of my partner? ” Whitney asked her.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What do you think? ” “ Well, ” said Whitney, smiling.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What is it you want to know?
hvd.hn3gez	“ What is it, Dick? ” Elsie asked in a hushed voice.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What is that?
hvd.hn3gez	“ What's that? ” Whitney asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What's that? ” asked Whitney.
hvd.hn3gez	“ What? ” Elsie asked indifferently.
hvd.hn3gez	“ When did he pass?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Where do we bring up? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Where do you think?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Where's Dick? ” “ Dick?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Where's Dick? ” “ Dick?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Where's the other? ” “ Gone down, I think.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Which way is it running?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Who do ye take the heir to be?."
hvd.hn3gez	“ Who does pay them? ” Andrew asked, in a quiet, insistent voice; but Dick only grinned.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Who told you to come up?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Who's there?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Whom is this lot for? ” “ The Border regiment."
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why did you not let him speak for himself?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why do you ask? ” She told him what she had overheard, and he was silent for a moment, though she knew that he was now wide awake.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why do you say it's what Dick thought?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why is n't the gig away?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why not?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why's the name good?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Why? ” “ I'm thinking ye're wanted here.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Will that man be here long?"
hvd.hn3gez	“ Will you get down and have a drink?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Will you give me a kiss, Elsie?
hvd.hn3gez	“ Will you give me a light? ” he asked Williamson.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Would you rather I dropped out?
hvd.hn3gez	“ You did n't want him to? ” “ No,"she answered frankly, but with some embar- rassment.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You heard it? ” Madge whispered.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You mean he's a dangerous man? ” “ Ye should ken.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You mean one should not exaggerate their relative importance? ”"Exactly.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You mean that something may happen here? ” “ I'm sorry I ca n't tell you anything now,"Andrew replied, with an embarrassed air.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You mean there's something else going on? ” An- drew said in a curiously quiet voice.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You reeled · as if you were getting faint before you fell. ” “ Well, suppose I did?
hvd.hn3gez	“ You suggest that he likes me? ” “ One ca n't tell, ” said Elsie in a quiet voice.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You wished to see me? ” he said.
hvd.hn3gez	“ You're still very fond of it?
hvd.hn3gez	“ You're sure? ” “ Positive.
hvd.hn3gez	“ Your cousin will not be in danger until he's twenty- one. ” “ What danger do you mean? ” Andrew asked uneasily.
hvd.hn1l68	About what?
hvd.hn1l68	Ah! ” said Caranby coolly, “ you know her? ” “ I know of her, ” said Maraquito bitterly. hvd.hn1l68 Alarm who?

hvd.hn1l68	A friend of mine has fallen in love with her, and he thought you might know of her. ”"Eh, wha- a- at, mon cher?

hvd.hn1l68	And Hale?''
hvd.hn1l68	And I say, Mallow, I suppose all Aunt Selina's affairs will be left in Hale's hands?''

hvd.hn1l68	And Susan Grant?"
hvd.hn1l68	And again, why did she hint that she had held her tongue about the matter for the sake of Mallow?
hvd.hn1l68	And her death is worthy of her strange, and I fear not altogether reputable life. ” “ Oh, mother, how can you?

hvd.hn1l68	I and Uncle Caranby have been there for a few days. ”"Did you see Mrs. Herne there?"
hvd.hn1l68	I ca n't understand how you came to find us out. ” “ Tell me what happened on that night?"

hvd.hn1l68	I can get it. ” “ In what way?"
hvd.hn1l68	I climbed the wall, not without difficulty, and found myself in the park- “ About what time was this?".

hvd.hn1l68	I taxed him with going out too much and with over- exertion, but he declined to answer me. ” “ Will he become conscious again?
hvd.hn1l68	I told you so the other day. ”"Do n't you wish to know who killed Miss Loach?''
hvd.hn1l68	I went in for a few minutes to take off my cloak and hat, and then I went in again to resume them. ” “ Did you see anyone in the room?".

hvd.hn1l68	It is a criminal problem which I should like to work out. ” “ Do you see your way as yet?''
hvd.hn1l68	It is called Hikui, and was given to me by a dear friend who received it from a Japanese attaché. ” “ From a friend or relative?".
hvd.hn1l68	It is you she believes guilty —"“ And therefore will not marry me?''
hvd.hn1l68	It was Le Beau who told you?"

hvd.hn1l68	Not very well, perhaps, but you know “ What is his name?"
hvd.hn1l68	Nothing serious, I hope?"
hvd.hn1l68	Now you understand why I am like Maraquito. ”"I understand, ” hesitated Jennings, “ you belong to a Spanish family?".
hvd.hn1l68	Now, then, Mr. Mallow, do you know that Basil Saxon was to have inherited the money of my late client, Miss Loach?".

hvd.hn1l68	She has no love for her own sex. ” “ What woman has?
hvd.hn1l68	She heard the bell ring at eleven, and found aunt dead in the sitting- room, stabbed to the heart. ” “ Heard the bell ring?"
hvd.hn1l68	She is a fatal woman! ” “ What do you mean by that phrase?"'.
hvd.hn1l68	She is the niece of an old dancing master who taught Maraquito-""Le Beau?"
hvd.hn1l68	She plays herself sometimes?"
hvd.hn1l68	She was a witness, you know?
hvd.hn1l68	She was rather a mis- anthrope. ” “ Did she expect anyone that evening?"
hvd.hn1l68	She was the only woman I ever loved. ” “ But was there not an inquest held on Emilia's body?"
hvd.hn1l68	So Susan Grant I am, and my brothers of the old family are Grant also. ” “ What do you mean by the old family?"
hvd.hn1l68	So long as Cuthbert marries the woman he loves, I do not mind. ” “ And what about the woman who loves him?"
hvd.hn1l68	Suppose I refuse Hale's demand, and let him pro- ceed on this check?''
hvd.hn1l68	Susan Grant told you that also?"
hvd.hn1l68	Tell her I vish money,"“ Did she not pay you? ”'.

hvd.hn1l68	The allusion was not complimentary to his pupils, for if Le Beau figured as Orpheus, what were the animals?
hvd.hn1l68	The man who behaved so badly to me? ”"I do n't know what you call behaving badly,"said Miss Garthorne in an offended way.
hvd.hn1l68	The only way in which you can clear up matters is to see Miss Saxon and insist on an explanation. ” “ And if she wo n't give it?"
hvd.hn1l68	Then he added after a pause, “ You know that Mrs. Octagon was present when Emilia fell from the plank in the Rexton house?''
hvd.hn1l68	Then mother, having me and my four brothers, married again, and I took the name of her new husband. ” “ Then your name ai n't really Grant?"
hvd.hn1l68	Then there was the knife — your knife. ” “ How did you know it was mine?".
hvd.hn1l68	There is much to talk about. ” “ Maraquito?"
hvd.hn1l68	There's no gate, you know. ” “ At what time?"
hvd.hn1l68	There's no more to be said. ” “ Are there any further questions you wish to ask me?
hvd.hn1l68	Therefore I kept away and held my tongue. ” “ But if you had told me this long ago,"“ How could I?''
hvd.hn1l68	Therein lies the mystery, and I ca n't guess how the business was managed. ” “ Do you believe the assassin rang the bell?"

hvd.hn1l68	“ It is not customary to do that?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ It was bad money- ver bad. ” “ Have you got it?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Lor no, sir, ” cried the woman, casting a sur- 261 The Secret Passage prised glance round,"whatever would she'ave that for, pore dear?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ May I ask why you went to see this woman? ” he de.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Miss Saxon?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Mother, what are you talking about?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Not at- at night?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Now what are we to make of all this?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Oh, Peggy, what does it all mean?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Oh, by the way,"he said, taking some papers out of his pocket, “ I looked up the Saul case. ” “ Well, what about it?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ One moment, ” she cried, “ do you accuse him?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Proofs?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Senora Gredos was a most respectable lady. ” “ She lived alone always, I believe?''.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Senora Gredos? ” said Jennings, before Cuthbert could speak.
hvd.hn1l68	“ She was not dead then?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ She would have lied to me- for your sake. ” “ For my sake?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Silk purses ca n't be made out of sows'ears,"growled the cook, “ an'who told you all this Geraldine?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ So you want me to help you to find out Mrs. Octagon's reason?".
hvd.hn1l68	“ Supposing he was here, would you consent to an interview?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Surely you never thought me guilty?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Surely, Jennings, you do not think me guilty of killing that poor wretch?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ That man who was arrested for coining, sir?".
hvd.hn1l68	“ The coiners?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ The evening was so dull. ” “ You are not having any play this evening?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ The scent?
hvd.hn1l68	“ The whole case is a mystery to me. ” “ You do n't know who killed Miss Loach?
hvd.hn1l68	“ The will?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Then how does she come into possession of your portrait?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Then where did you go?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Then why did he fly?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Then why did he write and bring me here?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Then why do you wish me to hold my tongue?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Then you were not out of the house? ”.
hvd.hn1l68	“ This interfering person you refer to?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ This knife?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Two women?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Was Mrs. Herne a great friend of your aunt's?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Was she on bad terms with anyone?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Well, I understand how you got the photograph, but how did this woman get it?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Well, Jennings, what is it?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Well, Mr. Hale, ” said Mallow coldly, “ why have you come?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Well, has that silly girl gone?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Were you there?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Were you with him?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What about him?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What about his lordship?".
hvd.hn1l68	“ What about?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What am I to think then?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What are you talking about, sir?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What can I explain?
hvd.hn1l68	“ What can he know of this woman?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What did you wish to see me about?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you know of him?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you know?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you make of that?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you mean by that?
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you mean by that?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you mean by that?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you mean? ” “ I ca n't say what I mean- yet."
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What do you suspect her of?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What happened?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What has Juliet to do with this? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l68	“ What is it?'
hvd.hn1l68	“ What is the boy like? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l68	“ What is the matter?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What is the meaning of this, Mr. Mallow?
hvd.hn1l68	“ What kind of noises?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What makes you think I can explain?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What makes you think I do?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What of that?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What of the cellars?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What on earth does she mean by that?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What scent?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What sort of stories?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ What the devil do you mean by coming here to ask me such a question?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What was he doing there?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What you like. ” “ That you love this Susan Grant?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What's that- arsenic? ” said Jennings, recalling the death of Tyke.
hvd.hn1l68	“ What's that?
hvd.hn1l68	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ What's the matter?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Whatever do you mean?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Whatever do you mean?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ When what was over?
hvd.hn1l68	“ When will you come and see mother? ”"Next week.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Where did she hear the report?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Where do you mean?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Where were you last night?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Which way?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who are you?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who does that house at the back belong to? ” asked Susan.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who has called to see you within the last month?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who is interfering with my private business?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who is it?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who is she shielding?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who is the old lady who comes here? ” “ Oh, she's Mrs. Herne,"said the cook.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who is this, Lord Caranby?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who killed her?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who told you that?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who wrote it?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Who?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why are you here?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why can you not love me?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why did you leave?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why did you leave?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why did you not give the alarm?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why did you seek it then?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why did you wire me in so peremptory a manner?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why do n't you look her up?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why do you refuse to marry Mallow?''.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why do you tell me all this? ” asked Jennings impatiently.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why do you tell these falsehoods? ” he said with scorn.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Why?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Will you ask him, sir?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Will you keep what I say to yourself?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Will you not drink to our better acquaintance? ”.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Will you not read my characters, ma'am?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ With Senora Gredos?
hvd.hn1l68	“ With the addition of darling?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ Yes, that is all right,"he said, “ but her name is Bathsheba Saul. ” 134 Jennings Asks Questions “ What?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Yes, ” she said in a firm voice, belied by the ghastly whiteness of her face, “ who killed her? ” “ It is not known, ” said Mr. Octagon.
hvd.hn1l68	“ Yes,"said Peter, somewhat surprised, “ how do you know?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ Yet she is an invalid I think you said?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ You are certain?"
hvd.hn1l68	“ You are fond of these sort of things?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ You are then her aunt? ”'“ Naturally.
hvd.hn1l68	“ You do n't know her?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ You have told me all you know? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1l68	“ You here, Mallow, ” said that young gentleman, stopping short, “ have you been to see my mother?''
hvd.hn1l68	“ You recognize the inscription?".
hvd.hn1l68	“ You saw the body? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1l68	“ You were with Maraquito as parlor- maid?"
hvd.hn1l68	•Who poisoned him?"
hvd.32044080899958	I wonder whether old Baptiste is watching them?
hvd.32044080899958	I? hvd.32044080899958 Then my reticence will not make an enemy of you?"
hvd.32044080899958	Well, Robin, how is the world using you?
hvd.32044080899958	What for? ” “ Well, to make churches with, for one thing,replied the mother, with a curious smile.

hvd.32044080899958	'” “ Was the yacht Nemesis, in which your father escaped, never heard of again?"

hvd.32044080899958	257 The Viking's Skull “ You ask me whether I shall ever tell him that it was I who slew Duchesne?
hvd.32044080899958	279 The Viking's Skull"So you've quite made up your mind to visit the vault? ” She assented with a nod, not daring to trust herself to speak.
hvd.32044080899958	A fair return, for had not she herself let fall in Idris'pres- ence words unfriendly to Lorelie?
hvd.32044080899958	A sign of what?"
hvd.32044080899958	Allowing these premises, what is the conclusion?"
hvd.32044080899958	Am I a reincar- nation of one who was familiar with this place in time past?
hvd.32044080899958	And 123 The Viking's Skull where is the wealth won by his ashen spear?
hvd.32044080899958	And now?
hvd.32044080899958	And on receiving a nod of affirmation, he asked, “ How did you accomplish it?
hvd.32044080899958	And the question is, · Why am I here?'"
hvd.32044080899958	And then?
hvd.32044080899958	And why do you wish to learn runes, my little man? ” he said, patting the boy on the head.
hvd.32044080899958	And will he get Ivar to consent?"
hvd.32044080899958	And yet what was the meaning of that first look of rapture that had come into her eyes?
hvd.32044080899958	Are not iron and steel alike in all ages?
hvd.32044080899958	Are you going to let me de- part from this vault without enlightening me as to its mysteries?
hvd.32044080899958	Bad as Ivar might be she could not believe him capable of murder: and as for the earl, had he not always treated her with kindness?
hvd.32044080899958	Besides, what mattered her suspicion?
hvd.32044080899958	Breakspear at present is igno- rant of his lineage; something must be done to prevent him from ever learning it- but what?"
hvd.32044080899958	Breakspear, Idris Marville, or whatever name you will, I believe you to be a man of honour-""Then why not trust me?"
hvd.32044080899958	Breakspear, are not the words oft- carried'very applicable to that stone, if it has really been brought over sea and land from the Crimea?
hvd.32044080899958	But are you likely to demonstrate it?"
hvd.32044080899958	But are you not promising too much?
hvd.32044080899958	But how are you going to prove its modernity?
hvd.32044080899958	But how?
hvd.32044080899958	But now?
hvd.32044080899958	But the difficulty remains — what has become of the Viking's bones?"
hvd.32044080899958	But the treasures deposited of old by Hilda the Alruna for her son, Magnus of Deira — where were they?
hvd.32044080899958	But what has this to do with Madem- oiselle Rivière — I beg her pardon, Lady Walden?".
hvd.32044080899958	But what nobleman or prince would marry the daughter of a felon?
hvd.32044080899958	But what safety could he give?
hvd.32044080899958	But why can not it have been?"
hvd.32044080899958	But why was I not overpowered?".
hvd.32044080899958	But — how often have you reproached me with it? ” Ivar smoked on in moody silence.

hvd.32044080899958	Did Magnus of Deira really receive the runic ring despatched to him by his mother?
hvd.32044080899958	Did he come here in ancient days to remove his heritage, or has the treasure been taken by other, perhaps modern, hands?
hvd.32044080899958	Did he escape the fire?"
hvd.32044080899958	Did it run like this? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	Did she wear it in her hair while sleeping? ”.

hvd.32044080899958	Do n't you think that if this Orm built a town, that town would bear his name?"
hvd.32044080899958	Do you deny it? ” Mrs. Breakspear was silent.

hvd.32044080899958	Do you notice how the rail is bent where the three cornered bit is? ” Godfrey looked and saw that the rod was bent down- wards.
hvd.32044080899958	Do you think that the weavers of the tapestry would let posterity know that Orm had turned coward?
hvd.32044080899958	Do you wish me to return to The Cedars to live there under such a name?
hvd.32044080899958	For weeks the people of Nantes talked of little else. ” “ Your father's ten years'absence from Ravenhall was spent in Brittany, then?".
hvd.32044080899958	For what purpose was it sown?
hvd.32044080899958	Had Mademoiselle Rivière come to Ormsby in order to be near the viscount?
hvd.32044080899958	Had this friendship changed into something deeper?
hvd.32044080899958	Had your grand- father any theory to account for his marvellous power?"
hvd.32044080899958	Has the knowl- edge been imparted to me in a dream?
hvd.32044080899958	Have I not said? ” he added, theatrically, turning to his father.
hvd.32044080899958	Have n't I made the fellow sufficient atonement?".
hvd.32044080899958	Have you broken any bones? ” “ I- I think not, ” was the reply.
hvd.32044080899958	Have you forgotten how the tapestry taken from that very spot reddened the water in which it was placed?
hvd.32044080899958	Have you seen a ghost?

hvd.32044080899958	He was not on the yacht when it sank, so Mademoi- selle Rivière declares: then what became of him?
hvd.32044080899958	Her wildness suddenly gave way to an air of disdain, and she exclaimed: “ Why do you seek to impose upon me?

hvd.32044080899958	Hitherto, following modern usage, I had always read the inscription from left to right: why not from right to left, as ancient Hebrew is read?

hvd.32044080899958	How did the accident happen?"
hvd.32044080899958	How do you interpret that? ”"I wish I could answer you, Miss Ravengar.
hvd.32044080899958	How had Mademoiselle Rivière become familiar with this requiem?
hvd.32044080899958	How had he gained access to the house, and what was his object?
hvd.32044080899958	How long am I to be baffled by this dark oracle?
hvd.32044080899958	How long shall we have to remain here? ” she added.
hvd.32044080899958	How many?
hvd.32044080899958	How much did Lorelie know?
hvd.32044080899958	How then?
hvd.32044080899958	How was he to save him?
hvd.32044080899958	How, otherwise, can I account for my conduct?
hvd.32044080899958	I continue to speak and act as if I have every confidence in them. ” “ How can you bear to live with them?
hvd.32044080899958	I may come even upon a pocketbook or a letter unwittingly dropped — who can tell?
hvd.32044080899958	I might have spared myself the letter to Dr. Roth- well. ” “ What is that?

hvd.32044080899958	I will set his word against all the rest of the world. ” “ How long is he to remain in prison?"
hvd.32044080899958	If Marville died, what was I but his murderess?
hvd.32044080899958	If Orm died with a wound in the occiput, what does that seem to show?
hvd.32044080899958	If he struck a match would his eye be caught by the sparkle of silver and gold?
hvd.32044080899958	If so, by whose?

hvd.32044080899958	Is it not clear that he is mad?

hvd.32044080899958	Is some one carrying on botanic experiments here?

hvd.32044080899958	Must he believe that Mademoiselle Rivière had become engulfed, and that the tide was now foaming jubilantly over her head?

hvd.32044080899958	O, Idie, who is it?"
hvd.32044080899958	O, why did you reveal your true name?
hvd.32044080899958	Oft- carried throne?'
hvd.32044080899958	On coming to Ravenhall Lorelie had left it behind her at The Cedars: how came it to be here in the vault of the Ravengars?
hvd.32044080899958	On the very point of discovery must we turn back, frightened by a sound, the cry, probably, of some night- bird?
hvd.32044080899958	Once he addressed to him a piteous reproach: — “ Oh, why did you come here?
hvd.32044080899958	Or is it a fact that during sleep the spirit of man may visit distant places?
hvd.32044080899958	Or was old Pythagoras right in asserting that we have all had a previous existence?
hvd.32044080899958	Perhaps they are Vikings, after all? ” he went on, loth to believe that such heroes had vanished from the earth.
hvd.32044080899958	Putting away the altar- ring, she seated herself beside him, and drawing him partly within her embrace, she said, “ Now what shall I talk about?"
hvd.32044080899958	Recovering from his amazement he muttered hoarsely, “ Why have you not told me of this before? ” “ You were not of an age to hear it.
hvd.32044080899958	Removed by whom?
hvd.32044080899958	Roger, was it Mademoiselle Rivière who was playing just now?"
hvd.32044080899958	Shall I put those flowers in your coat, Mr. Breakspear?
hvd.32044080899958	Shall we be outdone in enterprise by others?
hvd.32044080899958	Shall we ever see each other again?
hvd.32044080899958	Shall we say that that was the true cause?
hvd.32044080899958	She is French, then?".
hvd.32044080899958	She raised her eyes to his with an expression in them that thrilled him, and continued, “ Shall I tell you the dream I had last night?
hvd.32044080899958	Since the casement had been ajar all the evening why had it not flapped before?
hvd.32044080899958	So long, then, as she controlled her words and action, what more was re- quired of her?
hvd.32044080899958	Somehow, I was unable to sleep last night. ” “ You were thinking of the skull, perhaps? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	Still, if I succeed in demon- strating its modernity you will not object? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	Still, what had become of Idris that he made no reply?
hvd.32044080899958	Supposing he were to stoop suddenly and kiss them?
hvd.32044080899958	Surely all the women folk have n't gone to this cursed Pardon?".
hvd.32044080899958	Surely he does not mean Mademoiselle Rivière?"
hvd.32044080899958	Suspects?
hvd.32044080899958	Tell me, Miss Ravengar, what does this red streak re- semble? ” “ A curved sword! ” cried Beatrice, in wonderment.
hvd.32044080899958	That organ is very large, of course?"
hvd.32044080899958	The Viking's Skull “ His victim?
hvd.32044080899958	The ashes of the dead?'
hvd.32044080899958	The eremite's crockeryware having perished, how do you propose to drink?"
hvd.32044080899958	The mandragora of the ancients?
hvd.32044080899958	The name of this flower expresses what my lips would say. ” “ And thereby you accuse me of ingratitude. ” “ How so?"
hvd.32044080899958	The ring being here, I de- mand it. ” “ Why do you want it?".
hvd.32044080899958	Their mutual love?
hvd.32044080899958	Then madame is not French?"
hvd.32044080899958	Then, vexed by Godfrey's scepticism, he said:- “ Well, old wiseacre, if this be not Orm's skull, tell me whose it is?"
hvd.32044080899958	There was a moment's silence, and then she cried:- “ Who is there?"
hvd.32044080899958	To this section was attached the subscription:- “ Hic Ormum AUREUM OCCIDUNT. ” “ What do these words mean? ” Beatrice asked.
hvd.32044080899958	Was he standing on the site of the Viking's buried treasure?
hvd.32044080899958	Was he to die holding this fair maiden in his arms, helplessly witnessing her'death- gasps?
hvd.32044080899958	Was he to regard Lord Walden in the light of a rival?
hvd.32044080899958	Was his the face that Beatrice in her hypnotic trance had seen peering into the Viking's tomb?
hvd.32044080899958	Was it a replica?
hvd.32044080899958	Was it taken from some oratorio, or was it your own improvisation?"
hvd.32044080899958	Was it the voice of the breeze sighing through the half- opened casement, or was it the skull whispering and chuckling with ghostly glee?
hvd.32044080899958	Was the very treasure itself lying upon the clay flooring at his feet?
hvd.32044080899958	Was this due to something exhaled from the interior of the urn?
hvd.32044080899958	Was this no more than a pretty saying on her part; or did she really look forward with pleasure to their next meeting?
hvd.32044080899958	Was this really the father of Idris?
hvd.32044080899958	Well, Idris, what do you think of your father and his court dress?"
hvd.32044080899958	Well, mademoiselle, what shall my story be? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	What answer was he to give to the editors of “ Debrett ” and “ Burke,"when interrogated as to his wife's family?
hvd.32044080899958	What are runes?"
hvd.32044080899958	What cargo can such a small craft carry?
hvd.32044080899958	What did Ivar mean by bringing this young lady to him, who had no desire for an introduction?
hvd.32044080899958	What did this speech portend?
hvd.32044080899958	What do you say, Ivar? ” she added, turning to the viscount.
hvd.32044080899958	What does all this writing mean, mother?"
hvd.32044080899958	What does that mean?"
hvd.32044080899958	What formed the attractive force?
hvd.32044080899958	What has become of the man- drake?
hvd.32044080899958	What is Lord Ormsby's object in keeping it concealed? ” “ I can but guess.
hvd.32044080899958	What is meant by the'oft- carried throne'?"
hvd.32044080899958	What is to be our fate? ” he muttered.
hvd.32044080899958	What more?
hvd.32044080899958	What name, then, may I ask-?"
hvd.32044080899958	What necessity led him to talk of the matter to you? ” But Ivar waived this question by asking one.
hvd.32044080899958	What was it?
hvd.32044080899958	What was that object rising and falling on the surface of the water a few yards in rear of the advancing line of foam?
hvd.32044080899958	What was that?
hvd.32044080899958	What was the cause of this?
hvd.32044080899958	What was the reason for its figuring in the Ravengar shield?
hvd.32044080899958	What was there in this simple question to startle Mrs. Breakspear, for startled she certainly was?
hvd.32044080899958	What was there to talk about?
hvd.32044080899958	What wood is it? ” 57 The Viking's Skull “ Cypress. ” Godfrey did not fail to notice Ivar's somewhat sullen intonation.
hvd.32044080899958	What would she be saying next?
hvd.32044080899958	What's that? ” And there, protruding from the side of the hillock in the place where the mandrake had grown, was — a human hand!
hvd.32044080899958	What, then, has become of his remains? ” “ Crumbled to dust, perhaps, with the lapse of time, ” suggested Beatrice.
hvd.32044080899958	When would you like to pay your first visit?"
hvd.32044080899958	When you are a man. ” “ But supposing the murderer should be dead? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	Where are you going to put your grisly trophy, Mr. Breakspear? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	Where be now its feats of strength?
hvd.32044080899958	Whither?
hvd.32044080899958	Who buried him, or her, and why should such a strange grave be chosen?".
hvd.32044080899958	Who had removed this urn from the tomb in Ormfell, and in what way had Lorelie become possessed of it?
hvd.32044080899958	Who has been talking to you about runes? ” “ This book says that the Vikings used to carve runes on the prows of their galleys.
hvd.32044080899958	Who has more right to know it than I?
hvd.32044080899958	Who the devil was Protesilaus?"
hvd.32044080899958	Who was he?".
hvd.32044080899958	Whose skull is this?"
hvd.32044080899958	Why are they all wearing swords?
hvd.32044080899958	Why fill the fellow with false hopes?
hvd.32044080899958	Why had he allowed this woman to leave the secret vault, where her life had been in his hands?
hvd.32044080899958	Why should I confess the deed to him?
hvd.32044080899958	Why should a lady erect a costly memorial over the grave of men of whom she knows nothing?
hvd.32044080899958	Why should he desire me for his compagnon de voyage, seeing that, as matters are at present, we are so unlike each other, he gloomy, I gay?
hvd.32044080899958	Why should he desire to conceal the fact that he is bringing 58 The Mystery of the Reliquary home a reliquary?
hvd.32044080899958	Why should this be?
hvd.32044080899958	Why was she placing herself in a position where day by day she would encounter the pres- ence of this terrible earl?
hvd.32044080899958	Why?
hvd.32044080899958	Why?
hvd.32044080899958	Will this give us a clue to the men who were here last?"
hvd.32044080899958	Will you let me see them?"
hvd.32044080899958	Will you let the world do you this injustice?
hvd.32044080899958	Will you not join us?"
hvd.32044080899958	Will you not try to clear your father's memory?
hvd.32044080899958	Wo n't you, mon- sieur?"
hvd.32044080899958	Would not such an act be tantamount to a love- avowal, and thus relieve him from the difficulty of an oral confession?
hvd.32044080899958	Would she continue the story of the urn through the succeeding centuries?
hvd.32044080899958	Would she reach modern times, and speak of those who had removed the treasure?
hvd.32044080899958	Would you jest at my misfortunes?
hvd.32044080899958	You are not married?"
hvd.32044080899958	You consent?
hvd.32044080899958	You discarded it at once? ” “ Of course."
hvd.32044080899958	You do not understand — how should you?
hvd.32044080899958	You doubtless know something of his sad history?"
hvd.32044080899958	You find our climate a little trying, I expect, after the sunny air and the blue skies of the Riviera?
hvd.32044080899958	You have not let it serve as a warning?
hvd.32044080899958	You know if you go into La Chapelle des Pêcheurs you will see upon the altar a — what, Idie?
hvd.32044080899958	You might as well ask me whether I want my throat cut at once?
hvd.32044080899958	You will let the world know that I am your wife, will you not? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	and do you, too, shrink from a few drops of innocent Malvazia?
hvd.32044080899958	and how do you prove it?"
hvd.32044080899958	and when?
hvd.32044080899958	can it be That this is all remains of thee?'
hvd.32044080899958	churches like that? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	had Eric Marville and Captain Rochefort perished in the fierce currents of Ormsby Race, or had one, or both, been washed ashore alive?
hvd.32044080899958	now jiu vou dispose of the body? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	refuse the honour of drinking from the great Abderahman's cup?
hvd.32044080899958	the riches that conferred upon him the epithet of Golden?
hvd.32044080899958	the treasure placed within the lofty tomb'by his wife, Hilda, the Norse prophetess?
hvd.32044080899958	then what became of him? ” “ Have I not said that I am trying to find out?"
hvd.32044080899958	then what became of him? ” “ Have I not said that I am trying to find out?"
hvd.32044080899958	ur rutier have any children?".
hvd.32044080899958	was he not master of his own mind that he could not throw off this suspicion of the woman whom he loved?
hvd.32044080899958	what has happened? ” he cried.
hvd.32044080899958	what has happened?"
hvd.32044080899958	what have we here? ” said the earl, motioning the bearer to lay down his burden.
hvd.32044080899958	what have you been telling this woman?"
hvd.32044080899958	what is that?"
hvd.32044080899958	what is this I see shim- mering in your hair at the present moment?".
hvd.32044080899958	what is this?
hvd.32044080899958	what was that?
hvd.32044080899958	what?
hvd.32044080899958	who has done this? ” cried one of the gendarmes, appalled at the sight.
hvd.32044080899958	would she describe the murder that had taken place, and tell how the urn came to be in Lorelie's possession?
hvd.32044080899958	you understand?".
hvd.32044080899958	« The head of the staircase is the orthodox place. ” “ The orthodox place? ” repeated Beatrice, puzzled by the expression.
hvd.32044080899958	« Why not?"
hvd.32044080899958	« « What would you have me do?'
hvd.32044080899958	« • What is Pajares?'
hvd.32044080899958	— or you either? ” he added.
hvd.32044080899958	“ 16, Place Graslin? ” murmured Idris in great surprise.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Am I acting foolishly?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Am I dreaming, or have I seen him before?
hvd.32044080899958	“ And how came he to learn it? ” “ He was in Brittany at the time of the trial, and could not avoid hearing all about it.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And how long ago is it since this vessel was wrecked? ” “ Twenty- two years ago."
hvd.32044080899958	“ And in the central pane is painted the Madonna, treading upon the Old Dragon, with the Holy Child in her arms?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ And is the ring still in the possession of the Raven- gars? ” he asked, when Lorelie had come to the end of her story.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And now, this fantasia being over — Why?
hvd.32044080899958	“ And so you began to think that the skull was talking 172 A Little Piece of Steel and threatening you with mystic oracles?
hvd.32044080899958	“ And these are runes? ” said Beatrice, looking at them attentively.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And this, this son — what did you call him, Idris?- where is he now?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ And this, this son — what did you call him, Idris?- where is he now?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ And what are you going to call your play? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And what if I refuse to comply with your demand?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ And what is the secret? ” said Beatrice breathlessly.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And who and whence is the lady that now bears Viscount Walden's name? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And you thought that of Mademoiselle Rivière? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And you will tell me nothing more than you have told? ” he said at last.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And your sprained ankle? ” he asked, when their first greetings were over.
hvd.32044080899958	“ And, therefore, you would learn the name of the giver? ” Idris bowed.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are these the remains of your Viking? ” asked God- frey.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are these the runes? ” asked Idris, pointing to them."
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are they all bad — every one?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are they aware that you suspected their design?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are those jewels, and is that plate real?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are we not all liable to error? ” said Lorelie, kissing her tenderly.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Are you hurt?
hvd.32044080899958	“ At my mother's urging: he would not otherwise have moved in the matter. ” “ Why was Madame Rochefort so anxious to see my father free?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ At night?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Belzoni?
hvd.32044080899958	“ But will not the tide cover this ledge? ” “ No.
hvd.32044080899958	“ But you have formed a suspicion?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ But — but — was she the musician? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ By the way, ” she added, suddenly opening her eyes wide, “ what wine do you call this? ” “ A choice vintage.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Can one have apartments here?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Can there be doubt about it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Can you give me satisfactory proof that it is not ancient?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Did Odin engrave these letters? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Did not Captain Rochefort prove his friendship by aiding my father to escape?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Did they use hairpins in those days, then? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Did you not notice what my father says in one of these letters, that Eric Marville claimed to be heir to a peerage?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Do n't ask any more questions, Idie. ”"Why does n't he run away?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Do you believe, Thérèse, that man is a free agent, with full control over his own actions?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Do you intend to obtain the earl's sanction to make your excavations? ” asked Beatrice.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Do you know the name of this flower?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Do you know what you have been saying? ” Lorelie asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Do you see this, Godfrey? ” he said, pointing out the orifice.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Does it still contain the bones of the saint?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Edith Breakspear. ” “ Breakspear?
hvd.32044080899958	“ For ages and ages, deep down in the ground. ” “ What next? ” asked Lorelie.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Forever?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Ha! ” exclaimed Idris, picking up the novel from the floor, “ so you have been reading this?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Has Mr. Breakspear told you that he is going to leave us?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Has n't the sound of the explosion brought any one here?"."
hvd.32044080899958	“ Have we not met before, Mr. Breakspear? ” “ I saw you two days ago in the Ravengar Chantry,"he replied.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Have you told Mr. Breakspear this? ” said Beatrice, breathless with excitement.
hvd.32044080899958	“ How can I thank you?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ How dare you?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ How do you feel? ” “ Awfully queer and dizzy,"replied Godfrey.
hvd.32044080899958	“ How do you remove it? ”"It is secured by a hidden spring, ” replied the vis- countess.
hvd.32044080899958	“ How is he?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ How long is madame likely to remain here? ” asked the harbour- master's wife, lingering with her hand on the handle of the sitting- room door.
hvd.32044080899958	“ How old?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ I am de- sired by her to state that you will never see her again. ” “ Indeed?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ I will grant you that much — no more. ” “ You can not see at what I am aiming?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ I will not deny that the book frightened me, but what was it that frightened Leo?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Idris, where are you? ” he cried.
hvd.32044080899958	“ If he is so good, why has he to work among all those bad men?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ If thus certain of his death, why, you may ask, did I not immmediately make known the truth concerning the murder?
hvd.32044080899958	“ In all probability. ” “ He was not among the bodies washed ashore? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ In our own days, or long before them? ” “ I see no way at present of fixing the date, ” Godfrey replied."
hvd.32044080899958	“ In the devil's name, what motive?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ In the name of all that's holy what was that? ” he asked, starting up from the stone upon which he had been sitting.
hvd.32044080899958	“ In the name of hell, what's that? ” He could not have been a very brave man, Idris 34 Tragedy!
hvd.32044080899958	“ In what way? ” “ Thus.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is Captain Rochefort still living? ”."
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is he as good as father was?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is he not dead, then?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is it true?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is not Deira the ancient name for this part of the country?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is not my presence here a satisfactory answer to that question?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is there no way in these scientific times of ascertain- ing the age of that skull?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is this their vigilance, after being warned of the plot?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is this vase an heirloom?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Is this wasted bone the high arm’spoken of on the runic ring?
hvd.32044080899958	“ It is the vernal mandrake. ” “ What?
hvd.32044080899958	“ It means a god who never lived. ”"Then how can the ring have been made by Odin if there never was an Odin?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ Leave it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Let me tell the tale, and that in as few words as pos- sible, for it is a melancholy reminiscence; why should I linger over it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Let me think?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Madame Marais lives here?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Marry?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ May I ask for a flower in exchange, mademoiselle?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ May I share your thoughts? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Miss Ravengar, what should you say this is? ” “ That? ” replied Beatrice."
hvd.32044080899958	“ Miss Ravengar, what should you say this is? ” “ That? ” replied Beatrice."
hvd.32044080899958	“ Mother, what are runes?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Mr. Breakspear, may I ask for your help, too? ” Idris responded with a cheerfulness that became the more cheerful as he noticed Ivar's scowl.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Murdered? ” he said.
hvd.32044080899958	“ My father? ” laughed Idris.
hvd.32044080899958	“ My interests?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ My maiden name will compel him to acknowledge me. ” “ What is there in the name of Rivière to charm him? ” asked Ivar, in surprise.
hvd.32044080899958	“ My name is Lorelie, née Rochefort. ” “ Rochefort?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Necessitated by that fellow's making love to you, I presume? ” he said, eyeing her keenly.
hvd.32044080899958	“ No, I am sure I shall not. ” “ You will not redeem your father's memory from guilt? ” said Lorelie, with a little gasp of surprise.
hvd.32044080899958	“ No- what? ” “ That this is a funereal urn. ” “ Have I been self- hypnotized again? ” “ Again?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ No- what? ” “ That this is a funereal urn. ” “ Have I been self- hypnotized again? ” “ Again?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ No- what? ” “ That this is a funereal urn. ” “ Have I been self- hypnotized again? ” “ Again?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ No: about fifty years ago it was stolen. ”"Under what circumstances? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Not so, my lord. ” “ No? ” queried the earl.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Now prove thy title, heir of Ravenhall. ” “ Prove it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ O, Beatrice, the earl and Ivar tried to poison me! ” “ Lady Walden, how dare you say that? ” said Bea- trice, with a burst of indignation.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Of course Beatrice knows, ” was his reply, “ for is she not a daughter of the gods, a descendant of a Norse prophetess?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Of what do you suppose this velvet once formed part?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ Rather fragile for the spike of a mace, is n't it? ” “ True.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Shall I help you to stand?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Sinking fast. ” “ Is his mind clear? ” “ Now it is.
hvd.32044080899958	“ So far as I have been able to gather he was not. ” “ Not? ” said Idris, in a tone of joy.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Surely you are not alluding to Ormsby?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ That is a problem I am trying to solve. ” “ And you say the Viking's treasure is in the crypt of Ravenhall?
hvd.32044080899958	“ That is my view, ” replied Godfrey, “ for there are signs which seem to point to that conclusion. ” “ What signs are they?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ The last chant?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Then do not gaze too long upon it, lest you meet the fate of Narcissus. ” “ Narcissus?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Then why do they cut stone for churches?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Then why does n't he live with us? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Therefore, your parallel will not hold. ” “ Are you really serious in making this suggestion?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ This mask is sufficient proof that I wish to conceal my identity. ” “ What do you want?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ To what is the colour due? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ To- to-?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Was it for the wife to bring her husband to the guillotine?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Was my father on board the yacht the night it sank?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Was this plate contained in the jewel- room through which the earl has just taken us?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ What brings you here? ” “ To claim my rights,"she answered quietly.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What do they say he did?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ What do you mean? ” he muttered.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What do you say to this? ” he asked of Beatrice, who had followed him to the tomb.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What do you think of Beatrice?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ What does that mean?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ What does the old fool mean?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ What folly led me to Campania?
hvd.32044080899958	“ What good can it do you?
hvd.32044080899958	“ What has brought that fellow to Ormsby? ” he said, nodding his head in the direction of Idris.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What have we here? ” he said, stepping forward and picking it up.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What inference do you draw from that? ” Idris asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What is the epitaph to be? ” asked Idris, after some words complimentary to the mason's skill.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What is this dark mark? ” His mother hesitated ere replying:- “ It is perhaps a blood- stain. ” “ Why is n't it red like blood?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ What is this dark mark? ” His mother hesitated ere replying:- “ It is perhaps a blood- stain. ” “ Why is n't it red like blood?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ What is this inside? ” He stopped the motion to examine the skull more carefully.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What is this? ” he said, stepping forward to take a closer view.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What is your reason?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ What leads you to this strange belief? ”"With your lordship's permission I will reserve my reasons for another time.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What of that? ” said Idris bluntly.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What order has she given you?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ What reason have you for supposing that it is here? ” said Mrs. Breakspear, growing bolder.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What's that thing you are making? ” he asked in a sullen voice.
hvd.32044080899958	“ What's the highest figure to which you ascend? ” “ Nine — in my system. ” “ And I do not attain the top figure?
hvd.32044080899958	“ What's the highest figure to which you ascend? ” “ Nine — in my system. ” “ And I do not attain the top figure?
hvd.32044080899958	“ What, and must we dispense with the sweet greeting of old days?
hvd.32044080899958	“ What?
hvd.32044080899958	“ What?
hvd.32044080899958	“ When I behold my reflection in the glass I can not refrain from the thought, Can that be the once brilliant and handsome Rochefort?'
hvd.32044080899958	“ When do you think this murder took place? ” Idris asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Where does all this wood come from? ” she asked.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Where is Lady Walden? ” he demanded, turning upon one of the servants.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Where is the earl? ” he asked of the footman, who appeared in answer to the summons.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Where's the lantern, Godfrey?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Where's your mother? ” cried the stranger, setting Idris down.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Who are you? ” A smile appeared beneath the fringe of the silken vizard.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Who can it be? ” murmured Beatrice.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Who is it that is firing, and why are they doing it?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Who is it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Who is she?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why are they not coming to the harbour?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why did n't they put him under the guillotine? ” he asked, when his fit of crying was over.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why do they call it that?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why do you value this piece of steel? ” asked Beatrice, as she restored it to him.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why do you wish to know?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why have I never noticed it before?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why not now? ” she asked impulsively, rising from her seat as she spoke.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why should he visit us?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why should our French myosotis be called in English, · Forget- me- not'?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why should the wife occupy a modest villa while the husband lives in castled state? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why so weird a title, mademoiselle?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why so?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why the devil did you come here, if you do n't like 274 Lorelie at Ravenhall it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Why, you have said that no one was ever so good as father. ”. “ Have I?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Will you not drink, Ivar?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ Will you think me discourteous, Beatrice, if — if I do not tell you how I came by it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Will your innocence ever be established? ”.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Wo n't she?
hvd.32044080899958	“ Yes, if he received his mother's ring; but how if it miscarried?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You Eric Marville's son — you?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ You are certain that your father was English born?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You are sure it is not dislocated — broken? ” “ Ono; it is merely a sprain.
hvd.32044080899958	“ You begin alphabetically, do you? ” remarked Idris.
hvd.32044080899958	“ You believe this steel to be the fragment of a battle- weapon: of what kind of weapon?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You desire to shield a murderer? ” “ That is nothing new- with me.
hvd.32044080899958	“ You do not deny it?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You have been living at Ravenhall for the past two months, I understand? ” he remarked, for want of some- thing better to say.
hvd.32044080899958	“ You have no objection, Miss Ravengar?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You know him?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You may share my life if you will. ” “ Mr. Breakspear, what are you saying? ” exclaimed Lorelie, quickly, breathlessly.
hvd.32044080899958	“ You mean Hilda? ” “ Precisely.
hvd.32044080899958	“ You mean that the shadow of the stone will fall on the very spot where the entrance is?"
hvd.32044080899958	“ You recognize him?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You remember the silver altar- ring engraved with runic letters, the ring that he entrusted to my secret keeping on the morning of his arrest?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You seem very grave to- day, Mr. Breakspear? ” “ Do I, mademoiselle?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You seem very grave to- day, Mr. Breakspear? ” “ Do I, mademoiselle?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You think she knows their names?
hvd.32044080899958	“ You will not give me the name that was trembling upon the lips of Miss Ravengar?".
hvd.32044080899958	“ Your father? ” she gasped.
hvd.32044080899958	“ Your lordship has perhaps heard of him?
hvd.32044080899958	• Dis- turbing?'
hvd.32044080899958	• Walk to the guillotine instead of him?
hvd.32044080899958	•Do you call the honour of my name a trifle?'
hvd.hn8x6p	A white man?
hvd.hn8x6p	Also in Hongkong?
hvd.hn8x6p	Am I? hvd.hn8x6p And what is that?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Anito? hvd.hn8x6p Awake, Bowman?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Baba, have you seen a man pass?
hvd.hn8x6p	Bluff?
hvd.hn8x6p	Bukhing to myself, eh?
hvd.hn8x6p	But he was a good judge of horseflesh, and what can I do for him?
hvd.hn8x6p	But this one, Bow- man: suppose she could forget her dead man, and remember only you? hvd.hn8x6p Can?
hvd.hn8x6p	Crying, are you?
hvd.hn8x6p	Did you see?
hvd.hn8x6p	Did you take it, Mr. Hemmes? hvd.hn8x6p Do n't you know which?
hvd.hn8x6p	Do you re- member either of these?
hvd.hn8x6p	Do you see? hvd.hn8x6p Do you understand that?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Does my lord the crocodile devour shrimps?
hvd.hn8x6p	Does this,he said abruptly, unfolding and holding out the torn page of"Punch,""does this mean anything to you?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Eng- lish? hvd.hn8x6p Favor?
hvd.hn8x6p	He never would have given — tell me, were you with him, when — at the time?
hvd.hn8x6p	Hide it? hvd.hn8x6p How are Cadwallader and all his goats?"
hvd.hn8x6p	How are you? hvd.hn8x6p How can you tell?"
hvd.hn8x6p	How could you tell't was Miss Arnot's comb I liked? hvd.hn8x6p How long, do you suppose?"
hvd.hn8x6p	I think, I think,stuttered the clerk,"we shall give her some brandy, sir?
hvd.hn8x6p	If you do n't mind?
hvd.hn8x6p	Important message, eh? hvd.hn8x6p Is her door locked?
hvd.hn8x6p	Is it an order?
hvd.hn8x6p	Is it, though?
hvd.hn8x6p	Is that Miss Arnot's room?
hvd.hn8x6p	Is this young lady in?
hvd.hn8x6p	Look here, do you know what that girl did to me? hvd.hn8x6p More insolence from that sais of yours?"
hvd.hn8x6p	More?
hvd.hn8x6p	My Chop- Chop? hvd.hn8x6p My lord will hear this woman?
hvd.hn8x6p	No?
hvd.hn8x6p	Nothing more?
hvd.hn8x6p	Now what's he after?
hvd.hn8x6p	Oh, and you said — there was something else of his for me?
hvd.hn8x6p	Oh, sir, do you dare?
hvd.hn8x6p	Oh, this?
hvd.hn8x6p	Pictures that live? hvd.hn8x6p Pins a little wobbly?
hvd.hn8x6p	Rama,he leaned across, to whisper;"Rama, when you stood up then, — what was it?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Really?
hvd.hn8x6p	Remember?
hvd.hn8x6p	She? hvd.hn8x6p Should you like,"he put in humbly,"to do her a favor?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Sidin, where are my horses? hvd.hn8x6p Slipped?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Suppose I do get it back?
hvd.hn8x6p	Suppose I do overtake her? hvd.hn8x6p Suppose,"he slowly contin- ued,"suppose we make bargain?
hvd.hn8x6p	Then, shall we walk toward the house, meanwhile?
hvd.hn8x6p	Then,said he,"if I may come to Batavia?
hvd.hn8x6p	Thrown what away?
hvd.hn8x6p	To- morrow? hvd.hn8x6p Voice?
hvd.hn8x6p	Wanneer kwam je?
hvd.hn8x6p	Wanneer kwam je?
hvd.hn8x6p	Was it valuable?
hvd.hn8x6p	Was it — is it a place where I could go?
hvd.hn8x6p	Well?
hvd.hn8x6p	What I say? hvd.hn8x6p What are not?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What are you doing so far south?
hvd.hn8x6p	What devil did this?
hvd.hn8x6p	What do I say?
hvd.hn8x6p	What do you see there?
hvd.hn8x6p	What do you suppose, Kate? hvd.hn8x6p What does that mean?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What frightened you?
hvd.hn8x6p	What is it?
hvd.hn8x6p	What is that?
hvd.hn8x6p	What is this?
hvd.hn8x6p	What next? hvd.hn8x6p What thing he talkee?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What was it?
hvd.hn8x6p	What's happened, Sidin? hvd.hn8x6p What's the good, even if I should find her?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What's the good?
hvd.hn8x6p	What's the next ship?
hvd.hn8x6p	What's up?
hvd.hn8x6p	What's wrong, gentlemen?
hvd.hn8x6p	What?
hvd.hn8x6p	When I stood up? hvd.hn8x6p Where are your two friends?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Where did you first see me?
hvd.hn8x6p	Where did you get this?
hvd.hn8x6p	Where is it now?
hvd.hn8x6p	Where is she? hvd.hn8x6p Where is your prisoner?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Where's my packet?
hvd.hn8x6p	Where's the joke?
hvd.hn8x6p	Which way did it go, this face in the red cloth?
hvd.hn8x6p	Which way then, Baba?
hvd.hn8x6p	Which way?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who are you?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who brought you a pony once from the north of China?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who forbids?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who is this fellow?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who the devil are you?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who was that?
hvd.hn8x6p	Why do n't they come?
hvd.hn8x6p	Why is your face the color of that hibiscus on the wall?
hvd.hn8x6p	Why,David ventured,"wo n't Dato Hasan?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Will this help, in part? hvd.hn8x6p Will two paddlers suffice you, sir?
hvd.hn8x6p	Will you take her that? hvd.hn8x6p With that coachman?
hvd.hn8x6p	Worth coming for, is n't it?
hvd.hn8x6p	You discovered my Chop- Chop? hvd.hn8x6p You have n't anything to do, have you, with these Dutch officials?
hvd.hn8x6p	You people always put the women first, do n't you? hvd.hn8x6p You saw her only once?"
hvd.hn8x6p	You will not fail, sir?
hvd.hn8x6p	You're a Yankee, are n't you?
hvd.hn8x6p	You, Bowman, will go down with me? hvd.hn8x6p Your carriage follows mine?"
hvd.hn8x6p	150 THE TWISTED FOOT"To sleep, eh?
hvd.hn8x6p	240 THE TWISTED FOOT What was it, somewhere, about another girl doing that, —"herself a fairer flower"?
hvd.hn8x6p	86 THE TWISTED FOOT"What do you want?"
hvd.hn8x6p	A snake, not?"
hvd.hn8x6p	AMOK 227"Good to be home again, is n't it, Kate?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Ai n't they found him?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Alexander the Great?
hvd.hn8x6p	And me, what do I say?
hvd.hn8x6p	And what's the next steamer for Manila?"
hvd.hn8x6p	And what?
hvd.hn8x6p	And you fetching parcels?
hvd.hn8x6p	And yours the next?
hvd.hn8x6p	Are you here alone?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Because the night is filled with things you never heard of?
hvd.hn8x6p	Bowman, you have not one bally bit of proof, have you, to show at present moment?
hvd.hn8x6p	Bowman?
hvd.hn8x6p	Bowman?
hvd.hn8x6p	But here — how did he get here?"
hvd.hn8x6p	CHAPTER VII KUBOYONG"To speak with me?''
hvd.hn8x6p	CHAPTER X the lake isle"Forbidden?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Ca n't you?
hvd.hn8x6p	Ca n't you?
hvd.hn8x6p	Come, now?"
hvd.hn8x6p	D'ye think she's your kind?
hvd.hn8x6p	David bent on the speaker a short, incredulous stare; but remembering the vagueness of her race and tongue, added with lenience:"What gift?"
hvd.hn8x6p	David's man pointed after with his long, golden whip: —"Desini, Tuan?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Did you?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Do you always pick your servants out of byways and hedges?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Do you re- member, at the Hongkong races, an ugly little gray gelding named Chop- Chop?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Do you remember Hamlet and the sparrow?
hvd.hn8x6p	Does that make me a coward?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Feeling peckish?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Gerald sent you?
hvd.hn8x6p	Handkerchief in his pockets?
hvd.hn8x6p	Has n't he, though?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Have we matches?"
hvd.hn8x6p	How can I get to him?"
hvd.hn8x6p	How shall we tell this stable parrot that we have not the slightest wish to trade or bargain with it?"
hvd.hn8x6p	How then?"
hvd.hn8x6p	How?"
hvd.hn8x6p	I say, Bowman, is your young lady any- thing like her?"
hvd.hn8x6p	If you could guess how deadly dull — Well, my life's made a burden, with — what do you call it again?
hvd.hn8x6p	In the Sultan Muda's grave?

hvd.hn8x6p	Something red as a ground- squirrel?
hvd.hn8x6p	Tell me, where is he?
hvd.hn8x6p	That beautiful one?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Then the man's voice murmured cautiously: —"Siapa?"
hvd.hn8x6p	There it is — plain sight and equidistant, eh?
hvd.hn8x6p	Un- der the Written Stone?"
hvd.hn8x6p	WAITING 153"What were we going to do?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Was n't it, now, to be fair?"
hvd.hn8x6p	We shall meet at the train?
hvd.hn8x6p	We, in our tongue, have a poet who tells us — how is it, again?
hvd.hn8x6p	Were it not better, then, to steal roundabout, meet ambush with detour, and sur- prise the lurker from behind?
hvd.hn8x6p	What ass wrote that, I wonder?
hvd.hn8x6p	What could this man be, at whose table he had eaten, yet whose name — as he now recalled with a start — was 32 THE TWISTED FOOT totally unknown?

hvd.hn8x6p	What had she said?"

hvd.hn8x6p	What is your idea of that?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What man will take a pen, and draw you the line that bird has drawn?
hvd.hn8x6p	What you got for me?
hvd.hn8x6p	What's happened?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What, now?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What,"he repeated, in the vernacular,"do you want?"
hvd.hn8x6p	What?
hvd.hn8x6p	Where are they?
hvd.hn8x6p	Where was she going — I mean Miss Arnot?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Where's your master?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Which way might be Rosario's?
hvd.hn8x6p	Who were They?
hvd.hn8x6p	Why did n't you say so?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Why not go there?"
hvd.hn8x6p	Why this haste?
hvd.hn8x6p	Why, among the mad things they had done, should they have grumbled when he slid overboard?
hvd.hn8x6p	Why, you know what you are?
hvd.hn8x6p	Will you tell me, senor, where I may sleep for the night?"
hvd.hn8x6p	You are a friend of his?
hvd.hn8x6p	You going home, or she coming out?"
hvd.hn8x6p	You said — He can place you in a trying position?"
hvd.hn8x6p	You will stay, and cele- brate?"
hvd.hn8x6p	\"Is that man coming, too?"
hvd.hn8x6p	k"Oh, will you?"

hvd.hn1g2g	Doucet's caution. ” “ Do you know what has happened to Doucet with those grapes?
hvd.hn1g2g	From ten to eleven he promenades. ” “ In the jail- yard? ” asked Rouletabille innocently.
hvd.hn1g2g	From that the only conclu- sion is that only the general and you could have started it going. ” “ What are you trying to say?
hvd.hn1g2g	From what remote place in the world or in old and gone history had they emerged?
hvd.hn1g2g	Féodor hit the officer in the head with his fist and called,'Did n't you hear what I said?'

hvd.hn1g2g	Has the promenade done papa good?
hvd.hn1g2g	Have any of them been sick?
hvd.hn1g2g	Have bombs been discovered? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1g2g	Have n't you had sufficient notice? ” “ Yes,"replied the reporter.
hvd.hn1g2g	Have you a plan? ” “ Here is all I can see,"said Koupriane.
hvd.hn1g2g	Have you had breakfast yet this morning?
hvd.hn1g2g	Have you noticed, monsieur, that it was always the same agent who took the post at night, behind the villa, under the window?
hvd.hn1g2g	Have you seen the police- guards ’ dormitory?
hvd.hn1g2g	Have you told him?"
hvd.hn1g2g	He coughed and said: “ You believe, then, that the general runs a great immediate danger? ”"I do not only believe it, monsieur, I am sure of it.
hvd.hn1g2g	He demanded in a hoarse voice, “ What is it?"
hvd.hn1g2g	He does n't neglect anything, does he?
hvd.hn1g2g	He raised her head and demanded simply in a broken voice: “ You can tell me nothing now?
hvd.hn1g2g	He seemed to be asking himself, “ Is it fish or flesh?
hvd.hn1g2g	He took his way to the Grand Morskaia Hotel, went inside and asked the schwitzar: “ Can you give me the address of Mademoiselle An- nouchka?"
hvd.hn1g2g	How can you see that, all that, in a poor little hat- pin?"
hvd.hn1g2g	How could you manage to refuse it, any- way? ” “ When he first offered me hospitality, ” explained the advocate, “ I did n't even know him.
hvd.hn1g2g	How did you know him?"
hvd.hn1g2g	How do we stand?
hvd.hn1g2g	How had it been brought about?
hvd.hn1g2g	How is that?
hvd.hn1g2g	How is that?
hvd.hn1g2g	How is your wound? ” “ Nitchevo!
hvd.hn1g2g	How long was he going to stay hidden like that?
hvd.hn1g2g	How long?
hvd.hn1g2g	I am naturally very contrary. ” “ And how did you get through the journey?"
hvd.hn1g2g	I can- not; I am not able to go yet. ” 66 Why?"
hvd.hn1g2g	I could not. ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hn1g2g	I have resolved to retire from the world; I am going on a long voyage. ”( Rouletabille thought:'Why not have gone at once?')
hvd.hn1g2g	I must thank you now, for your friendly hospitality. ” “ Ah, but you are not going?
hvd.hn1g2g	I said, “ Well, then, here goes, and took the train. ” 66 And you have interviewed the Emperor?"
hvd.hn1g2g	If it is true that you are not suppressing me in order to avenge Michael Nikolaievitch, then why do you hang me?
hvd.hn1g2g	If they can carry away the eider downs, it would be quite as easy for them to carry away..."“ The Imperial family?
hvd.hn1g2g	In an hour?"
hvd.hn1g2g	In any case, I know they will try something very soon. ” “ My God, how is it that you believe that?
hvd.hn1g2g	In the kitchens?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is it enough?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is n't it so?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is n't that what always happens?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is n't there something that always keeps you from admitting that you are mistaken?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is that not so, Michael Nikolaievitch?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is that not so?
hvd.hn1g2g	Is there anything you need?
hvd.hn1g2g	It is five minutes to seven, eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	It is not the first time,- is it, that you have wandered in the sitting- room?
hvd.hn1g2g	It is not true. ” “ Where are those papers?"
hvd.hn1g2g	It is since these ten that you have had..."“ What?
hvd.hn1g2g	It is there you can take him if you act with prudence. ” “ How do you know he often comes that way?"
hvd.hn1g2g	It is to Madame Tré- bassof that I have the honor of speaking?"
hvd.hn1g2g	It might be said to him: “ The living has done his whole heroic duty,"but the dead, what else was it that they had done?
hvd.hn1g2g	Ivan Petrovitch said, “ He passes among some peo- ple as very advanced and very much compromised. ” “ Yet they do n't bother him?
hvd.hn1g2g	Leave it to me; I have a plan. ” 6 What? ” “ I have time to execute it, but not to tell you about it.
hvd.hn1g2g	Listen. ” “ How can you hear the tick- tack?
hvd.hn1g2g	Ma- trena Pétrovna laid her fat little hand on his arm: “ You speak seriously?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Might it not be, on the contrary, in order to save him?
hvd.hn1g2g	NATACHA 37 « Is your dog a watch- dog, madame? ” asked Rou- letabille, caressing the beast, which had followed him.
hvd.hn1g2g	Natacha never has been the monster that you think. ” “ How can you say that?
hvd.hn1g2g	Natacha turned toward Matrena: “ What do you believe, then?
hvd.hn1g2g	Nitchevo!?
hvd.hn1g2g	No more maroon coats with false astrakhan trimmings, eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	No one sick?
hvd.hn1g2g	No?
hvd.hn1g2g	Noth- ing new, eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	On this date, Rouletabille's note- book: “ Natacha to her father: “ But you, papa, have you had a good night?
hvd.hn1g2g	Police work?
hvd.hn1g2g	Prince Galitch is involved, and it is an affair of State. ” “ Natacha has returned? ” inquired Rouletabille.
hvd.hn1g2g	Reporting?
hvd.hn1g2g	Rouletabille asked the officers, “ Was this arrange- ment because the first wife of the general, Natacha's mother, was rich?
hvd.hn1g2g	Rouletabille turned, furious: “ What do you want?
hvd.hn1g2g	She came down, silent as a phantom, and he no longer recognized her voice when she demanded of him, “ Where?
hvd.hn1g2g	She caught her breath and resumed:'“ Did the examination of all the hat- pins tell you any- thing?"
hvd.hn1g2g	She crushed him to her breast, she put her hands over his mouth to make him stop, but he, saying, “ Do you hear?
hvd.hn1g2g	She demanded ardently: “ And you are sure that he came here and that he left here? ” “ Yes, I am sure of it."
hvd.hn1g2g	She has let me go, without trying to de- tain me, without a word of hope. ” “ And where are you going like that?"
hvd.hn1g2g	She might continue it so well that she would be able to accomplish it — you understand me?
hvd.hn1g2g	She questioned: “ Boris?"
hvd.hn1g2g	She sings this evening, does n't she? ” “ Monsieur, it will be a wonderful début."
hvd.hn1g2g	She turned brusquely toward Koupriane: “ Where is the body of Michael Nikolaievitch?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Since the sailors had their Father John of Cronstadt, why should n't the police- guard have their Father Alexis of Aptiekarski- Pereoulok?'"
hvd.hn1g2g	So then I said to myself, “ Now, has the Virgin by accident overlooked her work in this pathway?
hvd.hn1g2g	Still some agent of the Committee, of the Central Committee?
hvd.hn1g2g	Still the Nihi- lists?
hvd.hn1g2g	Sure you understand?
hvd.hn1g2g	THE GENERAL PROMENADES 108 “ Monsieur Rouletabille, have you discovered some- thing?"
hvd.hn1g2g	THE GENERAL PROMENADES 91 “ What did you do last night after you reached home?
hvd.hn1g2g	THE WATCH 59 66 And she — does she love you? ” “ I believe so, monsieur, I believe so sincerely.
hvd.hn1g2g	Teli me,- the Emperor must be rather bored at Tsarskoie- mes Top 10 Coelo? ” “ Oh, he has plenty of work.
hvd.hn1g2g	Tell me, Monsieur le Grand Maréchal, it is useless, I suppose, to try to see His Majesty before I go? ” “ What good would it do, monsieur?
hvd.hn1g2g	Tell me, Monsieur le Grand Maréchal, it is useless, I suppose, to try to see His Majesty before I go? ” “ What good would it do, monsieur?
hvd.hn1g2g	Ten years?
hvd.hn1g2g	Thank goodness! ” “ The Emperor's grapes are diseased, then? ” inter- rogated Rouletabille.
hvd.hn1g2g	That is to say, to the gallows?"
hvd.hn1g2g	That is what I said just now to His Majesty. ” “ Then?
hvd.hn1g2g	The dvornicks?
hvd.hn1g2g	The economists?
hvd.hn1g2g	The first thing I ask in the presence of an agent of your police is, “ Is he not a Nihilist?'"
hvd.hn1g2g	The first time that you thought to examine the floor, was it after you heard a noise on the ground- floor such as has just happened?"
hvd.hn1g2g	The general awaked just then and cried to me, • What is it, Matrena?
hvd.hn1g2g	The great thing was to clear away the police, the atrocious police; was n't it, Monsieur Rouletabille?
hvd.hn1g2g	The keys of the villa?"
hvd.hn1g2g	The schwitzar?
hvd.hn1g2g	The stains?
hvd.hn1g2g	The world goes round still, does n't it?
hvd.hn1g2g	Then he got into Koupriane's confidence by saying the worst he could of us, my dear little monsieur. ” “ But what could he say?
hvd.hn1g2g	Then it is so easy as that to get through a door with a hat- pin?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Then it is you who have arranged for these ten police- agents?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Then push the door to, close it; we have to talk things over. ” 6 But if someone goes back up the servants'stair- case?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Then you must have gone outside the touba? ” “ Yes, in order to warn them.
hvd.hn1g2g	Then, messieurs, then, we are agreed in that, are we?
hvd.hn1g2g	Then, she did not hesitate! ” “ If one outlined her crime to her, do you believe she would confess it?"
hvd.hn1g2g	They both love Natacha. ” “ And she, which one of them does she love?
hvd.hn1g2g	They must believe that Natacha has betrayed them. ” “ Ah, then you admit at last that she really is their accomplice?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Truly?
hvd.hn1g2g	Two years?
hvd.hn1g2g	Understand me and answer me: You heard the tick- tack from the bouquet while you were in your own chamber?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Was I on the point of discovering some new terrible and mysterious plan?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was he not going to go away, perhaps?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was he right, this young man?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was it for Annouchka to return for a lunch- eon or dinner in that place that she sometimes fre- quented?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was it necessarily in order to lose her father?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was it possible that he had made a mortal error?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was it too late to save Natacha?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was she a culprit?
hvd.hn1g2g	Was she going to the Trébassof villa?
hvd.hn1g2g	We have 294 THE SECRET OF THE NIGHT lived with Féodor Féodorovitch, and we will die with him. ” “ What are they waiting for?
hvd.hn1g2g	Well, you see that window there?
hvd.hn1g2g	Well?
hvd.hn1g2g	Were they Koupriane and Rouletabille, or were they the others?
hvd.hn1g2g	What I would point out to you first of all is that it is a good buyer of champagne, eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	What ails you?
hvd.hn1g2g	What am I saying?
hvd.hn1g2g	What are his opinions?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What are they waiting for?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What are you doing, Ivan Pé- trovitch?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What are you doing?'
hvd.hn1g2g	What are you going to do? ” “ Leave them alone, ” said Koupriane, roughly push- ing Rouletabille back.
hvd.hn1g2g	What could it mean?
hvd.hn1g2g	What could there be in the damnable books over which Natacha and her com- panions pored that could make such abominable crimes possible?
hvd.hn1g2g	What do they say?
hvd.hn1g2g	What do you advise, then? ” “ I advise you to go to Orel, monsieur, and as quickly as possible. ” “ Very well.
hvd.hn1g2g	What do you mean by your “ if it was only that'?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What do you say?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What else could he do?
hvd.hn1g2g	What for? ” “ Not a second's delay, for the love of Heaven.
hvd.hn1g2g	What grapes?
hvd.hn1g2g	What grapes?
hvd.hn1g2g	What had she heard?
hvd.hn1g2g	What has Ermolai done with it, then? ” She ran over to the buffet and found the flask.
hvd.hn1g2g	What has hindered us hitherto, I do not say to realize, but even to think, of that hypothesis?
hvd.hn1g2g	What has someone put in the vodka? ” cried Féodor.
hvd.hn1g2g	What have you decided?
hvd.hn1g2g	What if they learn of it?
hvd.hn1g2g	What is it about?
hvd.hn1g2g	What is it?
hvd.hn1g2g	What is it?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What is this story?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What kind of corre- spondence? ” “ If it interests you, we will open it before you."
hvd.hn1g2g	What ought I to say to the Em- peror?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What pro- digious slaughter- house awaited these unruly herds?
hvd.hn1g2g	What shall I do?
hvd.hn1g2g	What should I become without him?"
hvd.hn1g2g	What state of affairs was nec- essary for there to have been no crime?
hvd.hn1g2g	What was he doing there?
hvd.hn1g2g	What was he doing?
hvd.hn1g2g	What was he waiting for, then?
hvd.hn1g2g	What was she doing there?
hvd.hn1g2g	What was she wait- ing for?
hvd.hn1g2g	What was this new invasion?
hvd.hn1g2g	What will your arms be for in the days left you to live, if you no longer wish to press me to your heart?
hvd.hn1g2g	What would she have to say to them?
hvd.hn1g2g	When arrived, what do you suppose I saw?
hvd.hn1g2g	When my hand falls lingering down Who then will bring your crown Of lilac, rose and thyme?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where are they, then?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Where are they?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where are they?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where did they come from with their herd?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where had he gone?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where were such things nowadays?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where will they enter? ” “ By the door."
hvd.hn1g2g	Where?
hvd.hn1g2g	Where?"
hvd.hn1g2g	While he listened patiently, she said brutally: “ Why did you keep me from throwing myself on him, from rushing upon him as he opened the door?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who could give him any useful information?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who do you think it is, then?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who do you think it is?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who else could, then?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who now will bring the crown Of lilac, rose and thyme? ” Rouletabille listened to the voice dying away with the last sob of the balalaika.
hvd.hn1g2g	Who will take Michael Nikolaievitch's place?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who would not like to be his friend?
hvd.hn1g2g	Who?
hvd.hn1g2g	Whom can we trust now! ” “ And Monsieur Boris Mourazoff, have you seen him since?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Whom did you give them to?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Why add to the disquiet they already suffered so much, in case nothing developed?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Why did he stoop thus beside the door and why did he press his thumb all along the floor at the doorway?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why did n't we think of it sooner?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why did n't you say so?'
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do n't they kill poor Matrena?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do n't you marry him?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do n't you sleep?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do you beat him?'
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do you delay our marriage?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do you inflict this odious punishment on me?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do you tremble? ” “ But who will guard the house? ” “ No one.
hvd.hn1g2g	Why do you tremble? ” “ But who will guard the house? ” “ No one.
hvd.hn1g2g	Why had he come to put himself between the dead and the living?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why had n't they already got rid of these Nihilists?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why has there been no mention of the crime I committed in contriving the tragic death of poor Michael Korsa- koff?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Why in the world have you wept not two feet from your step- daughter's door?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why wait to speak about it to me?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why, just now, when I spoke of the Nihilists to you, did you say,'If it were only that!'?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why?
hvd.hn1g2g	Why?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Will you tell me?
hvd.hn1g2g	With Annouchka, my dears, and we are invited. ” “ How's that?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You are going to leave us?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You are not going to be a little reasonable at last?
hvd.hn1g2g	You are not yet gone then, Monsieur Rouletabille? ” “ Politeness before everything, Monsieur le Grand- Maréchal!
hvd.hn1g2g	You are sure the little hole is the way someone came?
hvd.hn1g2g	You believe, then, that she is not a Nihilist?
hvd.hn1g2g	You do n't know what we call in France the watchers of the Virgin'?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You do n't suppose I have come so far to waste my time, do you? ” “ Something no one else knows?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You do n't suppose I have come so far to waste my time, do you? ” “ Something no one else knows?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You have promised me not to watch her; prom- ise me not to think about her. ” “ Why, why did you say,'If it was only that!'?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You know something?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You know who he is, perhaps?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You know, do n't you, that upon the gen- eral's death Natacha will be immensely rich?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You love me like your own mother, do n't you? ” “ Like my mother.
hvd.hn1g2g	You others, of the young generation, what do you know of it?
hvd.hn1g2g	You say a long time?
hvd.hn1g2g	You understand me this time?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You understand me?
hvd.hn1g2g	You understand me?
hvd.hn1g2g	You understand me?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You understand? ’ Féodor said roughly.
hvd.hn1g2g	You waked up at last, did you? ” quizzed the actress.
hvd.hn1g2g	You were not so procrastinating with my pred- ecessor, were you?
hvd.hn1g2g	You will give me until the hour?"
hvd.hn1g2g	You?
hvd.hn1g2g	Your Majesty holds the life of the general very dear? ” “ What has that to do with it?"
hvd.hn1g2g	Your Majesty holds the life of the general very dear? ” “ What has that to do with it?"
hvd.hn1g2g	do you knock around with Gounsovski? ” “ On my word, I tell you, dear friends, he is n't a bad acquaintance.
hvd.hn1g2g	garden: “ Well?
hvd.hn1g2g	had, was she not?"
hvd.hn1g2g	what and whom could we believe?
hvd.hn1g2g	what and whom could we watch?
hvd.hn1g2g	what proof have you that they have not been there already? ” “ Just an ordinary pin, madame, not a hat- pin this time.
hvd.hn1g2g	« Then how does he get there? ” demanded Kou- priane.
hvd.hn1g2g	— Shall I call the police?"
hvd.hn1g2g	— and what was it?
hvd.hn1g2g	— that it would have mattered where, so long as it overwhelmed the gen- eral?
hvd.hn1g2g	— that someone will return by that door?
hvd.hn1g2g	— the lucubrations of the economists?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ A tick- tack? ” “ No, I hear nothing."
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Ah!- you, lad! ” 6 Well? ” “ Oh, nothing so quick.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Ah, they have not been served yet?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And Annouchka consented? ” “ That was the condition, it seems.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And Mademoiselle Natacha?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And are they not replaced? ” asked Michael.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And how did you discover him?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And if I order you?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And my grapes? ” he demanded of Natacha.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And that hole?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And that satisfies you?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And the house itself?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And then?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And what did Koupriane say?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And what did he say to you? ” “ He is a man of genuine majesty.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And what do you think the whole affair means?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And why not?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ And you heard nothing?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Anyone in the house? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Are you an amateur of such things? ” he added, in order to say something.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Are you laughing at me?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Are you leaving us?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Are you mad, my dear little domovoi, actually mad? ” “ Why?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Are you mad, my dear little domovoi, actually mad? ” “ Why?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Be happy, then, Athanase Georgevitch,"said he, “ for there are now no police around the villa. ” “ Where are they?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But how?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But how?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But now, shall we ar- rive in time? ” 282 THE SECRET OF THE NIGHT “ Priemkof? ” faltered Koupriane.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But now, shall we ar- rive in time? ” 282 THE SECRET OF THE NIGHT “ Priemkof? ” faltered Koupriane.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But then, this other, did you let him in as well? ” said Koupriane.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But they will not wish to go. ” “ Do any of them speak French? ” “ Yes, their sergeant, who is out there in the salon."
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But this man comes in as he pleases by day and by night?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But where were you, dear little demon?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But which way?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But why did you hide yourself that way, An- nouchka? ” asked Onoto as she caressed the beautiful tresses of the singer.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But why were you condemned to death? ” “ Why, she does n't know anything! ” exclaimed the others.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But you, how have you been able to penetrate into this guarded secret? ” “ By watching her eyes.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But, Holy Mary, why do you speak to me without looking at me?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But, madame, what have I just been doing? ” Madame Matrena smiled.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ But, my friend, what am I to do for you? ” “ Sire, one favor.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ By me? ” “ Yes, we lost all trace of Natacha.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Did they say whether they would return this even- ing? ” “ No,"she replied, slightly troubled.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Did you go downstairs at the same time those peo- ple did? ” “ No, no; I remained near the general for some time, until he was sound asleep."
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Did you stay up?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Do n't you understand?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Do you doubt still? ” he had asked her, “ that Michael tried to poison your father? ” And Natacha had replied, “ I wish to believe it!
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Do you doubt still? ” he had asked her, “ that Michael tried to poison your father? ” And Natacha had replied, “ I wish to believe it!
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Do you know who applauded you the most this evening?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Gounsovski has come himself to keep an eye on Annouchka's début, eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Guard him for me; for me alone, do you under- “ stand?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Has anyone else been here? ” demanded Matrena, forcing her voice to be calm.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Have we solely to do with Nihilism?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Have you met Boris and Michael? ” She appeared to hesitate a second, then replied: “ Yes, for an instant."
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Have you seen Koupriane?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Have you seen him at close range?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ He sleeps now, then? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ He?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Him- self, dear madame; himself. ” “ Why is Ermolai in the veranda?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How can you say that, dear child?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How could anyone come out if no one had entered?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How could it be otherwise?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How do you do, monsieur?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How has she happened to leave the general?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How is everybody at Maxim's?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How is it that you have not done so already, your- self, Monsieur Gounsovski?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How is that?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How is that?".
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How long?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How — gone again?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How — nothing?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ How? ” “ By the sitting- room window."
hvd.hn1g2g	“ I ask you seriously if you have passed a good night?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ I told him all that, Barinia; and I told him about madame your mother. ” 6 What did he say to that? ” “ That he was not madame your mother.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ I wish to prove to you by this absurd conclusion, madame, that it is necessary never — never, you un- derstand?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ In exchange for what? ” “ In exchange for the life of General Trébassof, if I must put it that way. ” “ Eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ In exchange for what? ” “ In exchange for the life of General Trébassof, if I must put it that way. ” “ Eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Is it possible that you speak seriously? ” she de- manded, coming over and sitting down beside him.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Is that true?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Little domovoi,"said she, laying her hand on his shoulder, “ you have not watched on this side?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Madame, if I were face to face with a Nihilist the first thing I would ask myself about him would be, • Is he one of the police?'
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Madame, it is not a single hat- pin hole; there are two of them. ” 66 Two hat- pin holes?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Madame,"demanded the young man, “ what was your daughter doing in this room?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ My little friend,"she said, “ will you tell me now?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Natacha has affected us all, has she not, Féodor? ” “ Yes, she made me weep, ” declared the general.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ No, that's so, is n't it?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ No,"said the husky voice of Matrena, “ not even to my step- daughter. ” “ Why? ” demanded Rouletabille.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Phylloxera pest has got into the conservatories?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Police? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Shall we ever know?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Since he went so openly to visit Tolstoi he does n't go to the court any more. ” “ And — his opinions?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ So you were here?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Tell me, mamma, do you know what gives me such an appetite?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ The Barinia? ” he said.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ The Chief of Police?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ The physician?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ The potion?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ The singer of the Krestowsky? ” “ That is who I mean. ” “ She had luncheon here.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Then why do we go to supper to- night with An- nouchka?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ There? ” inquired Koupriane.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ These are all? ” “ They are all I have found.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ To no one. ” “ Not even to your step- daughter?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Very seriously. ” “ A small glass of vodka?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Well, where is Natacha? ” he demanded hurriedly as she kissed his hands quite as though she had made an idol of him.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Well, why do they wait so to make us die? ” mut- tered Féodor Féodorovitch.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Well? ” insisted Rouletabille.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What are you going to do with that man? ” de- manded Rouletabille.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What are you going to do?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What are you saying? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What are you thinking, madame?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What can it be?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What can you say for yourself?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What caution?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you know? ” “ I?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you know? ” “ I?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you mean, Michael Nikolaievitch?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you mean, then?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you say, my son?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you want them for?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you want? ” demanded Père Alexis in Russian, “ and what is that you are bringing in?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What do you want? ” demanded Père Alexis in Russian, “ and what is that you are bringing in?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What happened? ” asked Koupriane agitatedly.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What has brought you here, then? ” “ Well, well, Monsieur Boris Mourazoff, unless I'm mistaken?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What has brought you here, then? ” “ Well, well, Monsieur Boris Mourazoff, unless I'm mistaken?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What has someone put in the vodka?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What have you done with the potion?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What is a chief of Secret Service for if not to do things for everybody?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What is this you say, Féodor? ” implored Matrena.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What reputation has Prince Galitch at the court? ” inquired Rouletabille all at once.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What risk do we run?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What shall I do?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What shall I sing? ” she inquired, raising her father's hand from the back of the sofa where he rested and kissing it with filial tenderness.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What would you have?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What's that you say?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ What, ” said Koupriane, “ do you know Père Alexis?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ When can we have the result of your analysis?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where are the proofs?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where are the tracks that you have traced?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where can the grapes be?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where have you found that?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where have you found this correspondence?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where is she?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where to?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where was this?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Where were you?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Which door? ” “ That of the chamber giving on the servants'stair- way. ” “ Why, how?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Which door? ” “ That of the chamber giving on the servants'stair- way. ” “ Why, how?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Who, if you please? ” THE CHAPEL OF THE GUARDS 163 long for a brain touched by Nihilism to get so it wo n't hesitate at anything."
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Whose toque is that?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Why all these questions? ” She flushed still more.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Why did you call so openly?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Why does he not tell you himself the name of that person?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Why not, Monsieur Rouletabille?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Why, then, he is the little fellow who solved the mystery of the Yellow Room. ” “ Himself. ” 6 What are you doing here?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Will you explain to me?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ With whom?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Would you like me to tell you one thing, Monsieur Rouletabille?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Yes, yes, we have come to rid your shop of a wretched piece of goods that litters it. ” “ What is this you say?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Yes?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ Yesterday evening, after these gentlemen had left the house, did you notice a small white box on the garden table?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You closed the doors behind those persons?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You expect M. Koupriane for dinner?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You forgot my caution, then? ” said Count Kalt- zof severely.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You had not, madame, spoken to anyone of this dis- covery?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You have discovered it?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You have not gone in there? ” she inquired.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You have not stopped it, mamma; you have not stopped it, eh?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You have nothing to hide from me?
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You have seen His Majesty?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You have seen Père Alexis?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You hear nothing?"
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You know, my poor man, you will be hanged now? ” he said.
hvd.hn1g2g	“ You laugh?
hvd.hn1g2g	” Was it a letter of thanks or of menace?
hvd.hn1g2g	” “ And who is this that pointed out your fault? ” de- manded the marshal.
hvd.hn1g2g	” “ No, Barinia. ” “ And the servants?
hvd.hn1tf6	Ca n't I row back in a boat, please?
hvd.hn1tf6	Did n't I say he was going down- stairs? ” Miss Fielding repeated impatiently. hvd.hn1tf6 Did you read my books? ” she asked, taking up one of them..."I read that one- the poems.
hvd.hn1tf6	I hate to have them alone for so long — you do n't know how I dread it! ” “ What are you afraid of? ” I asked. hvd.hn1tf6 Oh, you did, did you? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn1tf6	Played chess? hvd.hn1tf6 That's so, is n't it?
hvd.hn1tf6	The same old, sweet song, eh? hvd.hn1tf6 What d’you think of my bossy coffret'? ” she said.
hvd.hn1tf6	What right have we to de- stroy her, after all? hvd.hn1tf6 Would you do that for me, if I asked it? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	You no play fan- tan?
hvd.hn1tf6	-indiscretion?
hvd.hn1tf6	.“My memory?
hvd.hn1tf6	109 THE WHITE CAT “ Ah? ” I raised my eyebrows.
hvd.hn1tf6	147 THE WHITE CAT “ How will she know whether it is I or"the other one'?
hvd.hn1tf6	149 THE WHITE CAT “ No?
hvd.hn1tf6	151 THE WHITE CAT “ How did you get on with her? ” Joy asked timidly.
hvd.hn1tf6	161 THE WHITE CAT Who is it?
hvd.hn1tf6	259 THE WHITE CAT “ Did you hear Nokomis? ” she asked im- mediately.
hvd.hn1tf6	285 THE WHITE CAT I had no reproaches for her — what was there to say?
hvd.hn1tf6	293 THE WHITE CAT “ Why should you?"
hvd.hn1tf6	30 THE WHITE CAT Curiosity is such a destructive process, do n't you think?"
hvd.hn1tf6	302 THE WHITE CAT “ Would you do what she asked the Prince to do? ” “ What do you mean? ” She spoke deliberately.
hvd.hn1tf6	302 THE WHITE CAT “ Would you do what she asked the Prince to do? ” “ What do you mean? ” She spoke deliberately.
hvd.hn1tf6	70 THE WHITE CAT “ Castle?"
hvd.hn1tf6	A little hollow- backed, and his forelegs are n't quite straight, but Jack's a good dog, are n't you, Jack?
hvd.hn1tf6	A mild form of mania; that's all. ” “ Do you mean to say that you consider it merely insanity?"
hvd.hn1tf6	About what?
hvd.hn1tf6	And 261 THE WHITE CAT be sure that the collies are fastened up, too, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1tf6	And I'm the first to get off the island, after all! ” “ It does n't matter, I suppose, so long as I stay on? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	Are n't there, after all, several of you, Miss Field- ing?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Are you in the habit of paying him cash, Joy?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Are you likely to call on me?"
hvd.hn1tf6	At my fixed, stony attitude, however, she took a new alarm and cried out: “ What is it, Chester?
hvd.hn1tf6	Aw?"
hvd.hn1tf6	But do you think I can really do it? ” I was convinced that she could.
hvd.hn1tf6	But even then, what are we going to do?
hvd.hn1tf6	But how do I know?
hvd.hn1tf6	But if she in- sists upon my leaving here again, what shall I do?
hvd.hn1tf6	But now the question is, why does n't Leah come back?
hvd.hn1tf6	But ought n't I tell her?
hvd.hn1tf6	But tell me — was I pretty yesterday, Chet? ” She looked up at me earnestly under her brows.
hvd.hn1tf6	But what can I do, now?
hvd.hn1tf6	But what could I do?
hvd.hn1tf6	But when she abuses dumb critters, then I do get 211 THE WHITE CAT them? ” she said.
hvd.hn1tf6	But why? ” “ You're so mysterious, so whimsical, so detached, so romantic. ” “ Take care!"
hvd.hn1tf6	But would she dare come?"
hvd.hn1tf6	But would you? ” A dreadful meaning came straight from her eyes to mine.
hvd.hn1tf6	Ca n't we drive her away for ever? ” “ The doctor probably knows a good deal more about that than I,"I replied.
hvd.hn1tf6	Ca n't you find it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Can you do it?
hvd.hn1tf6	Can you hear me plainly? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	Can you think what a horror that is to me?
hvd.hn1tf6	Castle, do you think we would have any right to- to lis- ten?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Castle, how are you feeling, now? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	Chester, wo n't you go in and get me some water and some salve?
hvd.hn1tf6	Could you see or hear?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Dear old Nokomis, how could she? ” · Nokomis whined anxiously, stretched her forelegs and waited.
hvd.hn1tf6	Did Edna, perhaps, have a coexistent, subconscious life?
hvd.hn1tf6	Did n't Leah do that for you? ”"Leah!
hvd.hn1tf6	Did n't it awaken Miss Fielding? ” “ Oh, no, she sleeps heavily at these times.
hvd.hn1tf6	Did you ever hear of any one like that? ” “ Do you really mean to tell me that you 107 THE WHITE CAT forget what you said to me about Brown- ing?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Did you ever hear of any one like that? ” “ Do you really mean to tell me that you 107 THE WHITE CAT forget what you said to me about Brown- ing?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Did you hear my dog- gies?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do n't ask me to, please! ” “ It would be better than permitting you to be driven away, would n't it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Do n't you go over there some- times to smoke a pipe? ” “ Aw!
hvd.hn1tf6	Do n't you love me? ” Her tears had ceased and now she looked at me with bright eyes that burned softly.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do n't you see I do n't know?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do n't you?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you know how it ended? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you know what that means?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you know when he'll come again? ” “ He may be here at any time.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you mean to tell me that you ca n't remember yesterday, for instance?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you mean,"I began, afraid to say it,"that you've forgotten? ” She stared at me.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you mind?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you realize how easy it would be for a physician to put me there?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you realize what temp- tations a girl might have who knew that you forgot things? ” “ I suppose she would.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you see?
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you still mean that? ” “ Absolutely.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you suppose she could have given that to the doctor, too?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you think I ought to be leaving? ” I asked the question jocosely, but she took it up with seriousness.
hvd.hn1tf6	Do you un- derstand?
hvd.hn1tf6	Does that seem ungracious?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Feeling like Adam, after the creation of Eve, with that 50 THE WHITE CAT fourth rib of yours?
hvd.hn1tf6	Had not Doctor Copin hypnotized Edna, and given her the post- hypnotic suggestion that she, in Joy's person, should telephone to him in the morn- ing?
hvd.hn1tf6	Has n't she got an'honest, sonsie, bawsint face,'Mr. Castle?
hvd.hn1tf6	Has this anything to do with your refusal to play for me? ” She rose, now, and tossed her head back, with that shake I had noticed before.
hvd.hn1tf6	Hatchet- men after you? ” He still grinned in the absurd way Celes- tials have, when the subject is most serious.
hvd.hn1tf6	Have you any idea what she said? ” “ No; she sent me out of the room.
hvd.hn1tf6	Have you any other reason why I should n't?
hvd.hn1tf6	Have you sent Uncle Jerdon away? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	Have you the nerve? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	Have you thought to call her?!
hvd.hn1tf6	He can do you positive harm. ” “ Why do you distrust him?"
hvd.hn1tf6	He wants to hypnotize me- but I do n't quite dare would you? ” “ No,"I said.
hvd.hn1tf6	He's a pretty good show dog, is n't he?
hvd.hn1tf6	Hers are darker, and the pupils are dilated, are n't they, usually?".
hvd.hn1tf6	How can I bear to think of your being with her while I'm wandering, lost, eclipsed?
hvd.hn1tf6	How can I listen to such a thing, after what has happened?
hvd.hn1tf6	How can we arrange a way for Leah to get along with her? ”"That's where I come into the game,"I said.
hvd.hn1tf6	How can you suggest it?
hvd.hn1tf6	How could I be angry?
hvd.hn1tf6	How do you account for things?
hvd.hn1tf6	How do you feel? ” She shook the post of my bed with mock ferocity, as if to expend some surplus energy.
hvd.hn1tf6	How does he treat you-can you tell me?".
hvd.hn1tf6	How long have I been here?"
hvd.hn1tf6	How much, I wondered, had Leah told her?
hvd.hn1tf6	How's the head?
hvd.hn1tf6	How, indeed, could Leah know?
hvd.hn1tf6	I am afraid that I may make things worse, perhaps. ” “ You're sure that you ca n't tell me?"
hvd.hn1tf6	I do n't like it! ” “ Did you speak of it to the doctor? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1tf6	I do n't think of any rea- son she can have, for physicaily she's quite well. ” “ You mean Edna has? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	I got quite lost in them. ” “ Which ones? ” She looked up from the book eagerly.
hvd.hn1tf6	I hate to eat all alone. ” “ Why, does n't Leah eat with you? ” I asked, surprised.
hvd.hn1tf6	I hope he will. ” “ Oh, you like him, then? ” I said, giving my voice the inflections of mock jealousy.
hvd.hn1tf6	I no tell. ” “ Say! ” he exclaimed, approaching me, grinning, “ sometime you help me get away? ” “ You in trouble, eh?
hvd.hn1tf6	I no tell. ” “ Say! ” he exclaimed, approaching me, grinning, “ sometime you help me get away? ” “ You in trouble, eh?
hvd.hn1tf6	I thought that you had given up the game. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1tf6	I told Leah to say, “ What?"
hvd.hn1tf6	I told you that before. ” “ And gives you suggestions, I suppose? ” sannose.
hvd.hn1tf6	I'm very careful, for I've been on my guard since it first began. ” “ How long?"
hvd.hn1tf6	If I ca n't depend upon Doctor Copin, a physician, where can I look for help, and for protection against her?
hvd.hn1tf6	If I should fall asleep who would it be that would awake?
hvd.hn1tf6	Is Uncle Jerdon about? ” “ Do you think Mr. Castle is well enough to be moved, yet? ” Leah ventured.
hvd.hn1tf6	Is Uncle Jerdon about? ” “ Do you think Mr. Castle is well enough to be moved, yet? ” Leah ventured.
hvd.hn1tf6	Is Uncle Jerdon there?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Is he so poor? ” I smelled a mouse.
hvd.hn1tf6	Is it fair for her not to know?
hvd.hn1tf6	Is it my own Miss Joy, or the other? ” “ It's Joy, ” I assured her, “ and she's wait- ing for you.
hvd.hn1tf6	Is n't it fun to have a name like that?
hvd.hn1tf6	Is n't it lucky the doctor was here?
hvd.hn1tf6	Is n't it silly?
hvd.hn1tf6	Is n't it? ” Leah looked quickly from me to Miss Field- ing, and back again.
hvd.hn1tf6	Is n't that it?
hvd.hn1tf6	Is that you, Miss Field- ing?"
hvd.hn1tf6	It is n't my fault, is it?
hvd.hn1tf6	It was pompadoured, was n't it?
hvd.hn1tf6	It will re- store you, I think, to health. ” “ But what of her? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	It's getting worse every day! ” “ Tell me, ” I said, “ why have you been telephoning to him every day or so, Joy?
hvd.hn1tf6	Lastly, there was, I re- membered, that hint of — what would I call it?
hvd.hn1tf6	Leah, have you been touching this house?
hvd.hn1tf6	Maybe she get well, I dunno. ” “ What you think the matter with her, King?
hvd.hn1tf6	More pretty and more clever than I am to- day? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	More, even, than I am of her. ” “ Why, what has happened? ” “ Oh, ” she cried, “ that's just what I do n't know.
hvd.hn1tf6	My 320 THE WHITE CAT “ You certainly do n't wish to force your- self in where you're not wanted? ” he insin- uated.
hvd.hn1tf6	Not even what you did? ” She was growing more and more impatient.
hvd.hn1tf6	Nothin'like a little friendly rivalry for a bashful man. ” “ How long have you been back? ” I asked, not caring for his personalities.
hvd.hn1tf6	Now do you see?
hvd.hn1tf6	Oh, did they ever happen? ” she turned to demand of me in despair.
hvd.hn1tf6	Oh, do n't you see how shockingly impossible the whole thing is?
hvd.hn1tf6	Only I do n't trust him. ” “ Have you seen anything more? ” “ Enough to make me worried. ” Then she brought out painfully, “ Mr.
hvd.hn1tf6	Ought n't we, to protect her, per- haps, find out just what it is he's doing? ” I thought it over at length.
hvd.hn1tf6	Perhaps she didn't- how can we tell?
hvd.hn1tf6	Sabbee?
hvd.hn1tf6	Sam Yup?
hvd.hn1tf6	She says that she sent you that word before. ” “ May n't I even speak to her for a mo- ment? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	She was warning me off- but from what?
hvd.hn1tf6	She'll take her 309 THE WHITE CAT place on the map again and join the rest of you. ” “ You wo n't tell me?"
hvd.hn1tf6	She's telephoning to the doctor. ” “ How is she? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	So you'll go?
hvd.hn1tf6	The question was, could we, perhaps, rouse her before that incomprehensible change had taken place?
hvd.hn1tf6	Then her eyes strayed again, and she said, slowly, “ Do you think he can be trusted? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	Then she collapsed and fell into my arms.."Oh, Chester, what shall I do?
hvd.hn1tf6	Then what will M e C 271 THE WHITE CAT become of Miss Joy?
hvd.hn1tf6	Then, tentatively, almost fearfully, for it seemed the crux: “ And about the island'? ” I held my breath.
hvd.hn1tf6	There was so much more outside than in, was n't there?
hvd.hn1tf6	They're trying to find you, eh?
hvd.hn1tf6	Usually she jokes with him and teases him in all sorts of ways, but to- day she's more quiet and determined. ” “ Has she treated you badly? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	Was I different toward him?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Was I very different from what I am to- day, for instance?
hvd.hn1tf6	We ca n't have too many of such fine women as Miss Fielding, can we?
hvd.hn1tf6	We must use force if necessary. ” “ How does she know about me, after so long an ignorance? ” Joy inquired.
hvd.hn1tf6	Well, if I'm blind you and Leah will lead me, wo n't you? ” She reached over and took Leah's hand affectionately.
hvd.hn1tf6	Wha's a- matter?
hvd.hn1tf6	What are we doing to that poor girl?
hvd.hn1tf6	What are you going to do, Mr. Castle? ” I handed her the bottle, and as she caught sight of the label her hand shook so that she nearly dropped it.
hvd.hn1tf6	What could she have given him the money for?
hvd.hn1tf6	What did I do?
hvd.hn1tf6	What did that phe- nomenon mean?
hvd.hn1tf6	What did we talk about? ” “ Oh, about you, mostly. ” “ Did you make love to me? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1tf6	What did we talk about? ” “ Oh, about you, mostly. ” “ Did you make love to me? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1tf6	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1tf6	What do you mean? ” “ Because I am engaged to her myself.
hvd.hn1tf6	What does it mean — do you know? ” 238 THE WHITE CAT.
hvd.hn1tf6	What does she do it for, Mr. Castle? ” “ He is probably making her do it, ” I re- plied.
hvd.hn1tf6	What d’you mean by( seeing'and'feeling'him, anyway? ” She turned to me with her chin resting on the.
hvd.hn1tf6	What else would he harp on that for, if not to borrow from her?
hvd.hn1tf6	What horrible part of me has come to the surface in Edna?
hvd.hn1tf6	What is it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	What kind?"
hvd.hn1tf6	What possible crime am I consenting to? ” Joy broke- wn again.
hvd.hn1tf6	What shall I do?"
hvd.hn1tf6	What shall we do? ” she exclaimed, extend- ing her hands toward me.
hvd.hn1tf6	What tong? ” “ You sabbee China tong? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	What tong? ” “ You sabbee China tong? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	What undiscovered self is it that is torturing me so?
hvd.hn1tf6	What would she ever do without me? ” “ I think I can manage it,"I said, though, indeed, I was far from being confident.
hvd.hn1tf6	What's a- matter?
hvd.hn1tf6	What's the matter with your voice?
hvd.hn1tf6	What's the matter?
hvd.hn1tf6	What's the matter?
hvd.hn1tf6	What, then, was he trying to do?
hvd.hn1tf6	Where could she have gone, do you think?
hvd.hn1tf6	Where is she?
hvd.hn1tf6	Where was I, and who had cared for me?
hvd.hn1tf6	Where's Nokomis now? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	Who could have done it, if you did n't?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Why am I tor- mented so?
hvd.hn1tf6	Why ca n't you trust me?
hvd.hn1tf6	Why did n't she wait for me at the station?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Why do n't you help me? ” “ How can I help?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Why do n't you help me? ” “ How can I help?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Why does he come here so of- ten?"
hvd.hn1tf6	Why should you suggest it?
hvd.hn1tf6	Why, I'll have to give you my little Hiawatha, to carry it out, wo n't I?
hvd.hn1tf6	Will you take him? ” “ Oh, if you would! ” I said.
hvd.hn1tf6	Will you? ” I said that of course I would, and she sat 353 THE WHITE CAT “ I'm not really your wife yet, you know, Chester,"she said.
hvd.hn1tf6	Wo n't Leah know by her experience of you both? ” “ Oh, no; you ca n't tell.
hvd.hn1tf6	Wo n't it be as bad for her, possibly, if I consent?
hvd.hn1tf6	You come back?"
hvd.hn1tf6	You kill Sam Yup man, maybe? ” He kept his grin and his secret.
hvd.hn1tf6	You know?
hvd.hn1tf6	You mean that she took offense at something, perhaps? ” “ Oh, I must have made it impossible for her to stay."
hvd.hn1tf6	You must n't think of yourself as in any way responsible. ”"Then of course she's not, either? ” “ No more than a child, or an idiot.
hvd.hn1tf6	You no sabbee me?
hvd.hn1tf6	You no think so? ” “ Well, you do n't know anything about it.
hvd.hn1tf6	You not be frightened? ” He laughed and said: “ Aw, no!
hvd.hn1tf6	You not go to Sunday- school? ” “ Aw, no good go to Sunday- school- I can 277 THE WHITE CAT “ Money, King?
hvd.hn1tf6	You not go to Sunday- school? ” “ Aw, no good go to Sunday- school- I can 277 THE WHITE CAT “ Money, King?
hvd.hn1tf6	You remember how late she used to lie abed?
hvd.hn1tf6	You sabbee?"
hvd.hn1tf6	You sabbee?"
hvd.hn1tf6	You steal China girl?
hvd.hn1tf6	You take tong money?
hvd.hn1tf6	You think so? ” I laughed, and went back to the library, where Joy was already waiting for me.
hvd.hn1tf6	You wo n't notice it?".
hvd.hn1tf6	You'll forgive me for mentioning it, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1tf6	You're not having many long pants these days, I fancy, with that cracked bone in your chest, are you? ” And so on.

hvd.hn1tf6	thing, will you?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ A good name for an architect, is n't it? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ An architect, really?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ And about preferring ‘ Joy'to'Edna', too?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ And do you recall my own words on that occasion?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ And it was n't spent for anything you know of?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ And this is creative?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ And you're not?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Anything the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are n't we queer and strange in there?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are n't you afraid that- Edna may ob- ject in the morning, if she should be there?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are n't you lonesome here, King? ” I asked next.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are you listening? ” Why was he re- peating the question?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are you listening? ” Why was he re- peating the question?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are you listening? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are you married? ” “ No, I'm happy to say I'm not. ” “ So am I! ” she laughed.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are you ready for your breakfast, sir? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Are you sure that I ca n't help you by staying here? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ As charming as I was yesterday?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ But King? ” she asked, trying hard to control her excitement.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ But are n't you trying to do anything for her?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ But what did you do?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ But you love me?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Ca n't you imagine how interesting it must be for us to have any one here at all, and you most espe- cially?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Did I say so? ” Her hammer was poised in mid air.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Did she ask you to interrogate me? ” he asked blandly.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Did you want anything else? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do n't you like the name? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do n't you think Leah reads beautifully? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you fear she has met with an accident, then? ”"Oh, no, not that.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you feel better? ” I said that I did, noticing that she wore three rings on her left hand.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you feel hungry? ” she asked, setting the tray down upon a stand at the head of the bed.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you know how long the doctor will stay?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you like her? ” she added.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you like my hair done high or low? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you mean —? ” She stopped suddenly.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you mind if I speak to you for a minute? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you mind telling me your name?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you really think that it's safe for you to leave to- day?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Do you think I shall fail, after to- day? ” I said.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Experiments?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Forgotten?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Forty dollars, exactly. ” “ Will you please find out how much of that is left, now? ” She ran up- stairs, while we waited.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Go and say'How d’you do?'
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Going up to town to- day, Castle? ” he asked, tucking his serviette into his collar.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Gone?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Has n't Nokomis come back yet?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Has she tried to telephone? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Have n't you ever arranged it with Leah so that she can tell?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Have you a revolver? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Have you much pain? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Have you no sign? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Have you seen Doctor Copin lately?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ He's not the smallest dog in the world, but he's yours. ” “ And the third quest?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Here, would you mind taking this, Chet?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How can I hint that Edna is too free with him — and all the rest that I suspect?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How can I tell Miss Joy? ” she said.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How can Leah tell? ” Joy exclaimed.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How could I be so ungrateful as not to, in the circumstances? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How did I act?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How do you get along?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How goes it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How is she this morning? ” “ Fretful and irritable- to me, at least.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How long have you been down here with Miss Fielding?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How much coffee have you drunk? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How was I yesterday, Chet? ” “ What d'you mean? ” 264.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How was I yesterday, Chet? ” “ What d'you mean? ” 264.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How, at any rate, can I tell, af- ter having seen him only once? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ How?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ I hope so. ” “ Do you remember what happened yes- terday?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ I suppose the neighbors talk about her a good deal?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ I'll not have to make up for the part, at least, shall I?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ I'm dying for sleep, but do n't you see I ca n't?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ If the doctor is definitely leagued with Edna, what can we do?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Insist? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Is n't it going to be a beauty?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Is n't it really all begun, rather? ” I re- plied.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Is n't she a darling? ” Miss Fielding said affectionately, rubbing her pet's neck.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ It means, does n't it, that we al- ready have a language?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ It must end some way — why not that? ” I clasped her hand.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ It was done in a fillet, or a bandeau, was n't it? ” “ Why, no!
hvd.hn1tf6	“ It was one of those tales of the three quests, was n't it? ” I said.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ It's the end of the second quest, is n't it?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Keeping — what?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ King?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Leah, where in the world are you?'
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Marry you?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ May I venture to remind you of what you said last night? ” She looked hard at me.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ More than usual?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Next time you'll know, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Not many Chinamen around here, are there? ” “ Oh, Chinamen no good!
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Object to Nokomis?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh! ” she wailed, “ I've broken some- thing, have n't I?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, I do n't need one, do I?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, I have n't told you my own name, yet, have I?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, I mean what do you mean? ” I did n't answer.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, did I say that, too?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, do n't say – Nokomis is n't dead?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, has n't Edna a right to her love, too?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, once was enough for me! ” “ You mean — that you do n't trust him?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, that implies, too, considerable intimacy, does n't it?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, that?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, what was it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, yes — did I?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Oh, you used to be an actor, eh? ” I said.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ On business, I suppose? ” “ Yes, about my memory.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Ought n't he to know how I treated Leah?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Pretty good, is n't it? ” said Joy, as I con- gratulated Nokomis — on the neck, at the spot dogs love.'
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Say, King, you tie up the dogs in the sta- 192 THE WHITE CAT ble, hear?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Say, King, ” I said, “ you got a joss in your room?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ See Yup?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Shall I?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ She · likes him?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ So Joy wants you to come?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Something is the matter — what is it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Sometimes I have a feeling- a premoni- tion- like that night, do n't you remember, when I was so blue?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ That's quite as bad, is n't it?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ The doctor will help you, wo n't he?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ The rest?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Then how about playing chess?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ There's a reason? ” “ There's a good reason! ” I exclaimed fervently.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ They're your own words,'?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Uncle Jerdon? ” “ Oh, he thinks I'm crazy, and he never talks, anyway, I'm sure.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Very pretty- beautiful! ” “ Was I clever, too? ” “ Very!"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Very well, then, I have as good a right to refuse to answer you! ” It was my turn to say, “ Why?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Wall, ” he drawled,"thinkin'abeout movin', be ye?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Was I very horrid yesterday, Leah? ” Miss Fielding asked, looking up into the fine brown face.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Well, I've thought so, often enough! ” “ Did you like me any better than you usually do, then? ” she insisted, keeping her eyes on mine.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Well, Mr. Castle, ” he said, “ I expect you have n't been climbing any more trees with your machine lately, have you?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Well, Noko, what's the matter?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Well, how are you to- day?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Well, how did he treat me, then? ” “ Oh, you'd better ask him about that!
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What are they doing?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What did I say?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What did I say?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What did we do yesterday?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What did you want me to take back Leah for, anyway? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What did you want, then? ” was his next question.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What does he do?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What d’you mean? ” she asked, coming up to me.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What for you want to know? ” “ Hip Sing? ” I persisted.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What for you want to know? ” “ Hip Sing? ” I persisted.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What makes you think he'll come? ” “ I telephoned to him this morning, and he said he might.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What shall we do?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What tong do you belong to, King? ” I asked presently.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What train does he usually come down on? ” “ The ten o'clock from the city.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What'island'? ” I dropped her hand.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What's happened? ” I de- manded.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ What- a- matter you? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Where's Nokomis? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Where?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why do you want to know? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why have n't you been out where she could see you, then?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why not? ” I replied, watching her sharply.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why not? ” he asked sharply.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, I have n't thought of that, have I?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, I sent Leah away, did n't I? ” “ No, that was three days ago. ” Was it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, I sent Leah away, did n't I? ” “ No, that was three days ago. ” Was it?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, Nokomis! ” Joy exclaimed, “ how did you get this awful cut on your head?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, did n't you? ” “ Oh, yes, I suppose so.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, even Uncle Jerdon's not here, now. ” “ Well, there's King. ” “ King is n't exactly what you'd call a chaperon, is he?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why, how could you have done that?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why? ” He went on automatically with his coffee- mill, still grinning inanely.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Why? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Will you wait a moment, please?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Wo n't you lie down here and rest?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Worse? ” I could not understand.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Would it ever come to that?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Would you dare promise? ” I knew now there was something behind all this; some fear of my presence.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Would you mind lighting the candles? ” she said.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Would you? ” She clasped her hands to her breast again and sighed, as if I had really helped her by my promise.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Yes — but Leah dare n't come near enough for that, do n't you see?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Yes! ” “ Are you listening? ”.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ Yes, and he asked me again to let him hypnotize me. ” “ Oh, I hope you refused! ” “ Why? ” she demanded, turning quickly to me.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You are afraid, you mean, of the other one? ” I brought it out deliberately.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You are n't really very much wiser, are you?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You are n't trying to swim off the island, are you? ” I opened my eyes at this.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You can get nothing more? ” was my sug- gestion.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You do n't think that anybody has told her, possibly?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You expect her to return, then? ” She was walking up and down the room, her hands clasped behind her back tightly.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You got the house and the coat all right, but you thought I meant just to come back, did you?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You have a plan?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You know that there are two?"
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You likee Miss Fielding? ” he asked audaciously.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You mean really to eavesdrop? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You mean? ” She drew a quick breath.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You no Christian, then?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You no mind me, King?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You saw nothing, then, to arouse your suspicions? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You say that I have been out of my head? ” I began.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You still hold me to my promise- after yesterday? ” “ Why not? ” she said, a little blankly.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You still hold me to my promise- after yesterday? ” “ Why not? ” she said, a little blankly.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You'll do it for my sake, Miss Joy? ” she pleaded.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You'll not injure her, Chester? ” “ How can I, when it will be your own face that I shall confront?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You'll not injure her, Chester? ” “ How can I, when it will be your own face that I shall confront?
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You're sure? ” she said.
hvd.hn1tf6	“ You've done it, have n't you? ”"You bet I have!"
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you seen Pierrot's advertisement to- day?"
hvd.hn2bxl	All you desire is a plain statement, is it not?'' hvd.hn2bxl And he was well dressed?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But where, then, is Gennaro? ” she asked. hvd.hn2bxl Can you not make reparation?
hvd.hn2bxl	Did you close it?
hvd.hn2bxl	Had they al- ways a fire in this small room on a spring even- ing? ” Mortimer Tregennis explained that the night was cold and damp. hvd.hn2bxl Hardly on the evidence. ” “ What can we hope to do? ” “ We can not tell what correspondence may be there."
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you found out anything?
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you had something to eat? hvd.hn2bxl How far to Wallington? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is Miss Cushing at home?
hvd.hn2bxl	Man or woman? ” I asked. hvd.hn2bxl May I ask what your name is? ” “ No, you may not, ” said he, with decision.
hvd.hn2bxl	Oh, he went out the first night, did he?
hvd.hn2bxl	Oh, that's it- is it? ” said he. hvd.hn2bxl Robbed? ” “ No, there was no attempt at robbery."
hvd.hn2bxl	Stand still, will you? ” There was the click of the closing handcuffs. hvd.hn2bxl Surely you have heard of it?
hvd.hn2bxl	The what?
hvd.hn2bxl	Turn up the gas? hvd.hn2bxl Well, did you see him, Watson? ” “ Yes; he is coming."
hvd.hn2bxl	Well, what do you want? ” she asked, sharply, peering at us through the darkness. hvd.hn2bxl What if I am? ” he asked, with a most villain- ous scowl.
hvd.hn2bxl	What the devil do you mean? hvd.hn2bxl What were the terms? ” “ Well, sir, they were that he was to have a key of the house.
hvd.hn2bxl	What's the meaning of this? ” I heard him say at last, in a dry, rasping tone. hvd.hn2bxl What's this, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	Your sister Sarah lives, I think you said, at New Street, Wallington? hvd.hn2bxl 'Why not?' hvd.hn2bxl A shocking crime has been committed, and I think I have now laid bare every detail of it. ” “ And the criminal?
hvd.hn2bxl	Ah, the shadows begin to fall, do they?
hvd.hn2bxl	An accident? ” “ Murder, if ever there was one upon earth. ” “ Good God!
hvd.hn2bxl	And why should these proofs of the deed be sent to Miss Sarah Cushing?
hvd.hn2bxl	And yet I would have trusted him as I trust myself. ” “ At what hour was the office closed on Mon- day?".
hvd.hn2bxl	And you, Les- trade, could you favour us with your company for an hour or two?
hvd.hn2bxl	Another one? ” “ Yes, here it is:"To- night.
hvd.hn2bxl	Any other point, Watson?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Are you armed? ”"My stick!"
hvd.hn2bxl	Are you content to wait? ”"I seem to have no choice. ”"None in the world, Watson.
hvd.hn2bxl	Baynes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But I have been seated quietly in my chair, and what clues can I have given you? ”"You do yourself an injustice.
hvd.hn2bxl	But all the rest was inconceivable. ”"You can not throw any new light upon the affair?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But beware of what?
hvd.hn2bxl	But how about the disappearance of the others?!
hvd.hn2bxl	But how are you affected?''
hvd.hn2bxl	But some of these days you'll go too far, and you'll find yourself and your friend in trouble. ” “ For England, home and beauty- eh, Wat- son?
hvd.hn2bxl	But surely this event could not have found its way into the Plymouth morning pa- pers? ” “ No, sir; I had a telegram. ”"Might I ask from whom?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But surely this event could not have found its way into the Plymouth morning pa- pers? ” “ No, sir; I had a telegram. ”"Might I ask from whom?"
hvd.hn2bxl	But this is not a practical joke. ” • “ You are sure of it? ” “ The presumption is strongly against it.
hvd.hn2bxl	But what I want to know, Mister, is how the coppers know these things?
hvd.hn2bxl	But what do you think of it, Mycroft? ”"Excellent, Sherlock!
hvd.hn2bxl	But what end?
hvd.hn2bxl	But what use will you make of it? ” Holmes picked up the Daily Telegraph which lay upon the table.
hvd.hn2bxl	But, in the second place, why did you not come at once? ” “ What do you mean? ” Holmes glanced at his watch.
hvd.hn2bxl	But, in the second place, why did you not come at once? ” “ What do you mean? ” Holmes glanced at his watch.
hvd.hn2bxl	By the way, do you know what Mycroft is?"
hvd.hn2bxl	By the way, who is that?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Can you ask me, then, whether I am ready to look into any new problem, how- ever trivial it may prove?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could I fancy that your astute judg- ment would pass a dying man who, however weak, had no rise of pulse or temperature?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could it have been an official superior who took the papers?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could the good people who were her companions not screen her from his violence or his blackmail?
hvd.hn2bxl	Could we see her, then and try to use her?
hvd.hn2bxl	Danger, is n't it?
hvd.hn2bxl	Dark clothes- nothing you would note. ”"He gave no name? ”!
hvd.hn2bxl	Did he ask what ailed me? ” “ I told him about the Chinese in the East- end. ”"Exactly!
hvd.hn2bxl	Did his companions follow him and kill him?
hvd.hn2bxl	Did n't I send you word that I would see you to- morrow morning? ” “ I am sorry, ” said I, “ but the matter can not be delayed.
hvd.hn2bxl	Did you chance to observe what became of it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Did you say he was dead? ” “ Yes, sir, he is dead."
hvd.hn2bxl	Do I hear the step of a friend? ” There were footfalls outside, the door opened, and Inspector Morton appeared.
hvd.hn2bxl	Do you im- agine that I have no respect for your medical talents?
hvd.hn2bxl	Do you suppose that such a consideration weighs with me for an instant?
hvd.hn2bxl	Does she know?
hvd.hn2bxl	Eh?
hvd.hn2bxl	Eight, was it not? ” he asked, eagerly.
hvd.hn2bxl	Find an answer to all these questions, and you will have done good service for your country. ”.“Why do you not solve it yourself, Mycroft?
hvd.hn2bxl	From an official point of view it's simply awful. ” “ But you have recovered them? ”"No, Sherlock, no!
hvd.hn2bxl	Good heavens, Watson, what has become of any brains that God has given me?
hvd.hn2bxl	Gorgiano of the Red Circle? ” “ Oh, he has a European fame, has he?
hvd.hn2bxl	Gorgiano of the Red Circle? ” “ Oh, he has a European fame, has he?
hvd.hn2bxl	Had he already overtaken her?
hvd.hn2bxl	Has he any one outstanding quality?
hvd.hn2bxl	Has she perhaps met her end on the same night as the fricnd whom she had summoned?
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you a clue? ” “ An idea- an indication, no more.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you been there yourself, Mr. Roundhay? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you heard of the death of the chief? ” “ We have just come from his house."
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you read up the case? ” “ We have just done so.
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you the cab below?
hvd.hn2bxl	Have you the tools? ”"They are here, in my overcoat. ”"Excellent.
hvd.hn2bxl	Holmes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	How could you call? ” “ Your cipher was not difficult, madam.
hvd.hn2bxl	How do I come to be mixed up with the case? ” “ Very simply, sir, ” Inspector Baynes an- swered.
hvd.hn2bxl	How do you explain it, and ai n't you ashamed to see your men go down like this? ” Von Bork flushed crimson.
hvd.hn2bxl	How is any news or any mes- sage to reach him from without?
hvd.hn2bxl	How is he???
hvd.hn2bxl	How is he???
hvd.hn2bxl	How is he???
hvd.hn2bxl	How long has he been ill? ” “ About three days. ”"Is he delirious? ”'"Occasionally."
hvd.hn2bxl	How long has he been ill? ” “ About three days. ”"Is he delirious? ”'"Occasionally."
hvd.hn2bxl	How many did you make it?
hvd.hn2bxl	How's that, Watson? ”"I believe you have hit it. ” “ Not a doubt of it.
hvd.hn2bxl	How, and by whom?
hvd.hn2bxl	I am some- what exhausted; I wonder how a battery feels when it pours electricity into a non- conductor?
hvd.hn2bxl	I left them all round the table, as merry as could be. ” “ Who let you out?
hvd.hn2bxl	I only kept them here until my friend, Mr. Holmes, should have seen them in your presence. ” “ Why in my presence, sir?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I put them there myself. ” “ Is there no watchman to the building?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I should put Scotland Yard in touch with this business — and yet, it is too pressing for us to leave. ”"Shall I go for the police?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I suppose there could not be two people in your rooms, Mrs. Warren? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn2bxl	I suppose when you doctored you found yourself studying cases without thought of a fee?"
hvd.hn2bxl	I understand that there was no sign of rob- bery? ”"Apparently not.
hvd.hn2bxl	I've been taking the signals. ”"Signals? ” “ Yes, from that window.
hvd.hn2bxl	If I failed to do[ 203] HIS LAST BOW so, who would bring my Smith within my grasp?
hvd.hn2bxl	If she knew, why should she call the police in?
hvd.hn2bxl	If the latter, may it be taken as some sign of self- reproach for duty neglected?
hvd.hn2bxl	If the law can do nothing we must take: the risk ourselves. ” “ What do you suggest? ” “ I know which is her room.
hvd.hn2bxl	If the two people were mur- dered, who but their murderer would have sent this sign of his work to Miss Cushing?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is it not so? ” “ We are police, madam. ” She looked round into the shadows of the room.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is she alive or dead?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is she alive?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is that all clear?
hvd.hn2bxl	Is that not enough? ”[ 181] HIS LAST BOW Yes, Mrs. Hudson was right.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is that not so? ” “ There has been an inquest. ” said I.
hvd.hn2bxl	Is there any point which is not quite clear to you? ” “ The object of the mulatto cook's return?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Is there any point which is not quite clear to you? ” “ The object of the mulatto cook's return?"
hvd.hn2bxl	It has been a long evening and I do n't think my nerve is as good as it was. ” “ Your nerve, Walters?
hvd.hn2bxl	It is very curious and complex, Watson. ” “ Why should you go further in it?
hvd.hn2bxl	It was just who would get his evidence first. ”"Then why did you arrest the mulatto? ” Baynes chuckled.
hvd.hn2bxl	Let me see, what were the points?
hvd.hn2bxl	MYCROFT. ”"Cadogan West?
hvd.hn2bxl	Must you really go?
hvd.hn2bxl	My God, shall I ever forget their faces when they saw who was in the boat that was closing in upon them?
hvd.hn2bxl	My God, whoever would have thought that it could have come to this?
hvd.hn2bxl	No one else had the handling of them. ” “ Who locked the plans up that night? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, Dr. Sterndale, how do you justify such conduct, and what were the motives for your actions?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, my dear Watson, is it beyond the limits of human ingenuity to furnish an explanation which would cover both these big facts?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, what did he want with Eccles?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, when did this occur?
hvd.hn2bxl	Now, where was the other end?
hvd.hn2bxl	Once again I ask you, where is your warrant?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Only a week or so ago we had a man here upon the same errand. ” “ Did he give a name? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	Or did he drop it in the carriage?
hvd.hn2bxl	Or is she merely a prisoner?
hvd.hn2bxl	Otherwise why should not her lug- gage have been openly labelled for Baden?
hvd.hn2bxl	Perhaps you can not yourself recall how your reverie commenced?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Poor devil, how could I be angry when I saw him lying in such a plight before me?
hvd.hn2bxl	Pray do n't think it a liberty if I give you a word of friendly warning. ”"Of warning, Mr. Holmes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Seclusion I can understand; but why print?
hvd.hn2bxl	Shall I read it, Mr. Gregson? ” The Londoner nodded.
hvd.hn2bxl	Shall the world, then, be overrun by oysters?
hvd.hn2bxl	She would have come. ” “ Will you see him?"
hvd.hn2bxl	So far all is clear. ” “ But what is at the root of it? ” “ Ah, yes, Watson- severely practical, as usual!
hvd.hn2bxl	So far it holds together. ” “ What is the next step?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Suddenly he darted away into the fog. ” “ Without a word? ”"He gave an exclamation; that was all.
hvd.hn2bxl	Sug- gestive, Watson, is it not? ” “ Of caution?"
hvd.hn2bxl	Sug- gestive, Watson, is it not? ” “ Of caution?"
hvd.hn2bxl	That West, of all men, should have done such a thing! ” “ You are sure of his guilt, then? ” “ I can see no other way out of it.
hvd.hn2bxl	That ca n't be all, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	That seems final, does it not? ” “ It does, Sherlock, and yet it leaves so much unexplained.
hvd.hn2bxl	That was the end of the matter so far as I was concerned. ”"And your brother?"
hvd.hn2bxl	That would account for everything, would it not? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	That would explain his persistence, would it not? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	That would fully explain the facts, would it not? ” The whole inexplicable tangle seemed to straighten out before me.
hvd.hn2bxl	The cards[ 254] HIS LAST BOW of their senses?
hvd.hn2bxl	The general sequence of events is pretty clear, is it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	The gentle- man was bearded and moustached, you say?"
hvd.hn2bxl	The oval seal is un- doubtedly a plain sleeve- link- what else is of such a shape?
hvd.hn2bxl	The word puts me on the alert. ”"Have you it there? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	Then when you tapped at the window I thought it had come again. ” “ That what had come again? ” “ The devil, sir, for all I know.
hvd.hn2bxl	Then, again, where is the price of his treason?
hvd.hn2bxl	Then, again, why should he leave the[ 154] ADVENTURE OF THE BRUCE- PARTINGTON PLANS girl in the street and dart away to commit a felony? ”"Exactly!
hvd.hn2bxl	Then, again, why such laconic messages? ” “ I can not imagine. ” “ It opens a pleasing field for intelligent specu- lation.
hvd.hn2bxl	There's only the one exit to these flats, so we have him safe. ”, “ Who is he?"
hvd.hn2bxl	They had him alone at their mercy every other night in the week. ” “ Then why did they fly? ” “ Quite so.
hvd.hn2bxl	Unique, per- fectly unique, and yet why not?
hvd.hn2bxl	Was it taken from him in order to conceal the station from which he came?
hvd.hn2bxl	Was that the secret of her con- tinued silence?
hvd.hn2bxl	Was there any clue, may I ask, as to the exact hour that the man met his death? ” “ He had been there since one o'clock.
hvd.hn2bxl	Was your baggage aboard the ship?"
hvd.hn2bxl	We are given over into his hands!"?
hvd.hn2bxl	We picked up the[ 15] HIS LAST BOW scent at Charing Cross Post Office and came on here. ”"But why do you follow me?
hvd.hn2bxl	Well, Mrs. Warren, what now?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What about his luggage? ”"He had one big brown bag with him- nothing else. ” “ Well, we do n't seem to have much material to help us.
hvd.hn2bxl	What brings you here? ” “ The same reasons that bring you, I expect, ” said Gregson.
hvd.hn2bxl	What can it matter to him that his landlady should have a word of his writing?
hvd.hn2bxl	What could Eccles supply?
hvd.hn2bxl	What could the coffin mean, and for whom could it be but for her? ”"We will do all that can be done, Mr. Green.
hvd.hn2bxl	What did we see first?
hvd.hn2bxl	What do vou know, pray, of Tapanuli fever?
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you know of the black Formosa corruption? ”'“ I have never heard of either."
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you make of it, Watson? ”"A cipher message, Holmes. ” My companion gave a sudden chuckle of com- prehension.
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you make of that, Wat- son? ” “ He is deeply interested. ” “ Deeply interested — yes.
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you make of these bones? ”"A lamb, I should say, or a kid. ” “ And the white cock?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you make of these bones? ”"A lamb, I should say, or a kid. ” “ And the white cock?"
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you mean? ” “ I suppose there are no great number of points on a system such as this? ” “ No; there are very few."
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you mean? ” “ I suppose there are no great number of points on a system such as this? ” “ No; there are very few."
hvd.hn2bxl	What do you suggest, Mr. Holmes? ” “ That we go up at once and see for ourselves. ” “ But we have no warrant for his arrest."
hvd.hn2bxl	What does he want?
hvd.hn2bxl	What does that mean?
hvd.hn2bxl	What does the law of England care for the rivers of blood shed years ago in San Pedro, or for the ship- load of treasure which this man has stolen?
hvd.hn2bxl	What had be- come of the other three?
hvd.hn2bxl	What happened next? ” “ The woman came out, but I had hid myself in[ 223] HIS LAST BOW a doorway.
hvd.hn2bxl	What has he done?
hvd.hn2bxl	What have you to gain from it? ”"What, indeed?
hvd.hn2bxl	What have you to gain from it? ”"What, indeed?
hvd.hn2bxl	What horrible purpose, what[ 213] HIS LAST BOW deep design, lay behind this long pursuit?
hvd.hn2bxl	What human contrivance could do that? ”"I fear, ” said Holmes,"that if the matter is beyond humanity it is certainly beyond me.
hvd.hn2bxl	What in the world can he have to do with it?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is at the root of it all?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is he hiding for?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is the result?
hvd.hn2bxl	What is there for us to do? ”"To act, Sherlock- to act! ” cried Mycroft, springing to his feet.
hvd.hn2bxl	What next? ” said he.
hvd.hn2bxl	What on earth can it mean?
hvd.hn2bxl	What reason then?
hvd.hn2bxl	What say you, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	What upheaval can possibly have derailed him?"

hvd.hn2bxl	Who knows?
hvd.hn2bxl	Who then, but Miss Burnet, the governess?
hvd.hn2bxl	Who wrote the note?
hvd.hn2bxl	Who- ever would have dreamed it?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did Cadogan West take the papers, where are the missing ones, how did he die, how came his body where it was found, how can the evil be set right?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did he not do so?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did they fly?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why did you not call in a doc- tor? ”"He would n't have it, sir.
hvd.hn2bxl	Why have you pursued her?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why should such a message stop in such a way?
hvd.hn2bxl	Why, then, was he picked out from all the other people whom Garcia met as particularly suited to his purpose?
hvd.hn2bxl	Would it be possible for me to inspect the train which contained the passenger who heard the thud of a fall in the fog? ”"I fear not, Mr. Holmes.

hvd.hn2bxl	Yes, Watson, there are good reasons to suspect that there has been a substitution of lodgers. ” “ But for what possible end? ”"Ah!
hvd.hn2bxl	Yes, sir, my own views are very different. ”"You have a theory then? ” “ And I'll work it myself, Mr. Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	Yet that is precisely what we are about to make. ” “ Could we not get a warrant and legalise it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	You are police, are you not?

hvd.hn2bxl	You opened it- do you remember? ” “ Yes, yes, I opened it.
hvd.hn2bxl	You perceive our difficulties, Watson? ” “ They are only too clear,"I answered, with conviction.
hvd.hn2bxl	You say that the man came ten days ago, and paid you for a fortnight's board and lodging? ”"He asked my terms, sir.
hvd.hn2bxl	You think it's all safe about the copy? ”!
hvd.hn2bxl	You understand, madam, that your husband will be ar- rested and tried for the death of the man who lies before us?
hvd.hn2bxl	You wo n't be offended, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	You wo n't put me alone into a cell, sir?
hvd.hn2bxl	You would not denounce the man? ” “ Certainly not, ” I answered.

hvd.hn2bxl	“ Brother Mycroft is coming round. ” “ Why not? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But how come you into this matter, Miss Burnet? ” asked Holmes.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But how?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But surely, Holmes, character goes for some- thing?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ But why?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Ca n't you be happy for five minutes without Mary, Jim?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Can you fit us both into your dogcart? ” “ Yes, I can. ” “ Then, Watson, we will postpone our break- fast.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Dead?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Did he observe the appearance of these men- did he hear them talk?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Did you lose your boat through it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Did you observe them closely?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Does he not explain? ” Holmes handed me his brother's telegram.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ For my sake? ” “ I know what is the matter with me.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Have you come from Holmes? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ How do you define the word “ grotesque'?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ How far is it to the house where this singular tragedy occurred? ”"About a mile inland."
hvd.hn2bxl	“ How is Mr. Holmes, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ I had a feeling that there was something on his mind. ”"For long? ” “ Only for the last week or so.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ I have just left him. ” “ What about Holmes?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ I presume that this Jim Browner, the steward of a Liverpool boat, is the man whom you sus- pect? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn2bxl	“ I'm bringing home the ba- con at last. ” “ The signals? ”"Same as I said in my cable.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Is there any other little service that I can do you, my friend? ”"A match and a cigarette. ” I nearly called out in my joy and my amaze- ment.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Making ready for a move?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ May I ask, sir, what you did then?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ May I introduce you to Mr. Sherlock Holmes? ” he said to the cabman.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ May I offer you a glass before your jour- ney?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ None; but he was an Englishman, though of an unusual type. ” “ A savage?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Nothing of interest in the paper, Watson?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Oh, you did, did you? ” Out came the official notebook.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ PERICOLO'—'Pericolo'-Eh, what's that, Watson?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Prints it? ” “ Yes, sir; prints it in pencil.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Shall I demonstrate your own ignorance?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Shall I speak or you? ” he asked of the vicar.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Should I be guilty of a liberty if I lit a cigar and placed it between your lips?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Then who are you?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Then you have none in me?''
hvd.hn2bxl	“ This is Mr. Leverton, of Pinkerton's American Agency. ” “ The hero of the Long Island Cave mystery?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well, Watson, ” he asked, turning suddenly upon me,"what do you make of it?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well, it figures out that way, does it not?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well, what is the next step? ”"The next step is the note received by Garcia at the dinner.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well? ” asked Von Bork eagerly, running for- ward to meet his visitor.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well? ” he asked, in that vibrant voice which told of the fiery soul behind the cold, grey face.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Well?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What about Steiner? ”'“ Well, they've got him, that's all.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What about the dough? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What are you going to do now, Mr. Holmes? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What do you make of it? ” CO[ 35] HIS LAST BOW He held up his candle before an extraordinary object which stood at the back of the dresser.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What do you make of this string, Lestrade? ” “ It has been tarred. ” “ Precisely.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What do you think of it, Watson? ”"A masterpiece.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What happened, then? ”:"He had his suspicions before, and he fol- lowed me as you describe.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What have you done with her?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is that? ” said Smith.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is the meaning of this intrusion?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is this, Holmes?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What is this?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What object is served by this circle of misery and violence and fear?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What of it?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What time was the funeral?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What was at the window, and when? ”"It was just about two hours ago.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What were your plans? ” he asked, at last.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What's the matter, Walters? ” asked Baynes, sharply.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ What's this? ” he cried, in a high, screaming voice.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ When does he lunch? ”"About one, sir. ” “ Then Dr. Watson and I will come round in time.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Where is the Lady Frances Carfax? ” I asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Where's Sarah?'
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Who is this person?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why a fire? ” he asked once.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why do you think so? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why had he no ticket? ”.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why not?
hvd.hn2bxl	“ Why? ” he asked.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You are not angry? ” he asked, gasping for breath.
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You do n't mean that Baynes has got him?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You have two sisters, I believe. ”"How could you know that?"
hvd.hn2bxl	“ You've seen the paper, Mr. Holmes? ” he asked, holding one out to us.

hvd.hn291e	Shall it be at once?
hvd.hn291e	Shall we not join your brother on the terrace? ”"Not till I have answered the question you put me a moment ago.
hvd.hn291e	She is so honest with her tongue that I am bound to believe her even when she says-"“ What?"
hvd.hn291e	She said so and then asked:"What else can you tell me about him?"
hvd.hn291e	Should she fly the ordeal?
hvd.hn291e	Should she know it if she did see it?
hvd.hn291e	Should we find him living, or should we find him dead?

hvd.hn291e	Then harshly: “ Where is this will? ”.
hvd.hn291e	There was a door which no man ever opened — had never opened since Revolutionary times- should she see it?
hvd.hn291e	There was no one to notice what took place in her 68 An Intangible Clue"Must I express in words the limit I have set for myself in our affair?"

hvd.hn291e	They have no shape, have they,-just blotches?
hvd.hn291e	Together we'll soon make up the amount, and then-"“ Then what?"

hvd.hn291e	Up to this 52 The Second Bullet “ And what happened then?"
hvd.hn291e	Was I successful?
hvd.hn291e	Was he deaf or just unpleasant?
hvd.hn291e	Was he the man who shot Mr. Hasbrouck?
hvd.hn291e	Was her look one of grief or of resentment for the part he had played so unintentionally in her child's death?
hvd.hn291e	Was his look one of rebuke at her presumption, or just the constrained expression of a perturbed mind?
hvd.hn291e	Was it remorse?
hvd.hn291e	Was not my dear madam failing in health also; and was there poison in her cup?
hvd.hn291e	Was she living when she went, or was she already dead?
hvd.hn291e	Was she too paralysed to express herself clearly?
hvd.hn291e	Was that why he was on hand when old Mr. Dunbar stole from his room to make his nightly circuit of the halls below?
hvd.hn291e	Was the angle at which it had been fired acute enough to send it out of a window diagonally opposed?
hvd.hn291e	Was this Arthur?

hvd.hn291e	What does it say?
hvd.hn291e	What does she want of you?"
hvd.hn291e	What had been the real purport of the scene to which I had just been made a surprised witness?
hvd.hn291e	What had happened then?

hvd.hn291e	What she did say was this: “ Is there a bullet gone?

hvd.hn291e	What was in its call to- night that he should thus sway towards it as though drawn by some dread magnetic force?

hvd.hn291e	What was it, then, which so completely changed him that a separation began to be talked of and even its terms discussed?

hvd.hn291e	What was to be done?
hvd.hn291e	What's the matter?

hvd.hn291e	Why did you do this?
hvd.hn291e	Why do n't you know when that's what you're hired for? ” The innocence with which she uttered this was astonishing.
hvd.hn291e	Why do you ask?
hvd.hn291e	Why giving thanks?
hvd.hn291e	Why should she, already in a state of secret despondency, intrude herself into an affair at once so painful and so hopeless?

hvd.hn291e	Would I ever ride with her again?
hvd.hn291e	Would he enter the room where we were, or would he pass imme- diately to his office in the rear?
hvd.hn291e	Would he enter; or would he pass on?
hvd.hn291e	Would he respond if he did; or would the shock of her appeal restore him to a sense of the danger attending disloyalty?
hvd.hn291e	Would she ever see the hand itself appear between the dresser and the window frame?
hvd.hn291e	Would you be willing to accompany me to his room for a 172 The Dreaming Lady moment?
hvd.hn291e	Would you mind lifting me up to these shelves?

hvd.hn291e	and for what purpose this listening; and to what end did it lead?
hvd.hn291e	or here?"
hvd.hn291e	she asked; then with a burst of can- dour which seemed inseparable from her nature, she continued: “ Why do I try to mislead you or deceive myself?
hvd.hn291e	still admiring the prospect?
hvd.hn291e	was it hidden in here? ” she asked.
hvd.hn291e	where did you find it?

hvd.hn291e	“ And little Roger?
hvd.hn291e	“ And now may I see the children?"
hvd.hn291e	“ And she was? ” “ Yes, Miss; but still full of what was on her mind.
hvd.hn291e	“ And she?"
hvd.hn291e	“ And that box at the right?".
hvd.hn291e	“ And what happened after you looked at the will? ” “ I put it back.
hvd.hn291e	“ And when did Mr. Hasbrouck last use his?"
hvd.hn291e	“ And when was that to be? ”.
hvd.hn291e	“ And where is he now? ”.
hvd.hn291e	“ And where, just where did the old wallet fall?
hvd.hn291e	“ And whom did you see while you were gone?"
hvd.hn291e	“ And you think I can earn that?"
hvd.hn291e	“ And you, Anna?".
hvd.hn291e	“ Any suggestions before I go? ” “ Yes, and an important one.
hvd.hn291e	“ Anything wrong up there?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Are you going to take me before a magistrate? ” he asked.
hvd.hn291e	“ Are you in the habit of trusting to the security of a latch- lock only in the fastening of your front door at night?

hvd.hn291e	“ But,"interposed Violet, “ surely your hus- band left you something?
hvd.hn291e	“ But- what do you want of me in an affair of this kind?

hvd.hn291e	“ Do you know that you have not told me in whose house I am?
hvd.hn291e	“ Do you think that any amount of saturation would have done this?
hvd.hn291e	“ Do you wonder at this after such a manifest stroke by a benevolent Providence?

hvd.hn291e	“ Oh, what a mistake you've made. ”"Mistake?
hvd.hn291e	“ Proof?

hvd.hn291e	“ Spoke?
hvd.hn291e	“ That was eight years ago, and since then what?
hvd.hn291e	“ Then you took off everything that was lying on it? ” “ Oh, yes. ” Violet continued to stare down at the blotter.
hvd.hn291e	“ There were two keys to it, then?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Therefore towards the promontory? ” “ Yes. ” “ Can he see it from his bed? ” “ No.

hvd.hn291e	“ Was that what you were looking for?
hvd.hn291e	“ What am I doing here?"
hvd.hn291e	“ What are your requirements, Miss Strange?
hvd.hn291e	“ What ever can it mean?
hvd.hn291e	“ What was the cause of the quarrel you speak of between your husband and yourself?
hvd.hn291e	“ Where are you going?
hvd.hn291e	“ Where have you been, Zulma? ” he asked, as contrary to his wo nt, he moved to meet her.
hvd.hn291e	“ Where is his room and where is hers?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Where were you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn291e	“ Which way do his windows look?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Who hopes to be married to- morrow. ” “ How, hopes?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Who is that?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Whom is she with? ”.
hvd.hn291e	“ Whose slipper is this?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Why can not they find the bullet? ”"Because it went out of the window;- glanced off and went out of the window."
hvd.hn291e	“ Why do you stand like that?'
hvd.hn291e	“ Why must you eat it?'
hvd.hn291e	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Why should you suggest anything of a graver character? ”.
hvd.hn291e	“ Why?
hvd.hn291e	“ Will you allow me to refer to it tomorrow, if I am suspicious of the accuracy of your recollections?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Will you?"
hvd.hn291e	“ With head level or drooped? ” “ Drooped. ”"Like one looking down, rather than up, or around?"
hvd.hn291e	“ With head level or drooped? ” “ Drooped. ”"Like one looking down, rather than up, or around?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Would a bullet glancing off from a mirror, however hung, be apt to reach a window so far on the opposite side?"
hvd.hn291e	“ Would you poison the girl?'
hvd.hn291e	“ You are — Miss Strange? ” stammered her visitor;"the young lady who""I am,"chimed in a voice as ringing as it was sweet.
hvd.hn291e	“ You have looked this well through?"
hvd.hn291e	“ You saw her do all that?"
hvd.hn291e	“ You say that your husband is in this room?"
hvd.hn291e	“ You think me guilty of all because of what I did last night?"
hvd.hn291e	“ You think you know the man?"
hvd.hn291e	“ You wish to explain that quarrel?
hvd.hn291e	“ Your brother knows?"
hvd.hn1epz	About Graham?
hvd.hn1epz	Am I? hvd.hn1epz And if Anna had been on the ship, you think the same, eh?"
hvd.hn1epz	And the house? ”Held up by cold weather now.
hvd.hn1epz	And what about the Allies? hvd.hn1epz And you'll get another girl here, and flirt with her, and make her crazy about you, and""Honestly, do you like me like that?"
hvd.hn1epz	Anything new? ” he inquired casually. hvd.hn1epz Are n't you going to see me before you go?"
hvd.hn1epz	Are these actual photographs? ”Made from articles taken from a German officer's trunk, in a neutral country.
hvd.hn1epz	Are they? hvd.hn1epz Are you hurt?"
hvd.hn1epz	Are you sure you can spare it? ”I could n't rest until it was all paid up.
hvd.hn1epz	Are you taking any measures to prevent trouble? ”. hvd.hn1epz But I ca n't go myself, so why ca n't I send a proxy?"
hvd.hn1epz	But why? hvd.hn1epz But you did n't come to talk about me, did you? ” “ Partly.
hvd.hn1epz	Can I get anything for your head, my dear?
hvd.hn1epz	Can we run you up- town?
hvd.hn1epz	Can you beat it? ” And wounded in all the pride of new manhood, he joined Marion and her rather riotous crowd around the fire inside the clubhouse. hvd.hn1epz Come round again with me, Audrey, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1epz	Did he know where she was? ”I think not, or he'd have gone to get her.
hvd.hn1epz	Did n't you like my gown?
hvd.hn1epz	Did you ever think, daddy, ” she said,of the influence women have over men?
hvd.hn1epz	Did you leave your cigaret on the piano?
hvd.hn1epz	Did you warn him I am to drive it?
hvd.hn1epz	Do I really talk of the war? ”When you talk at all.
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't sell on the installment plan, either, I suppose? ” The sneer in his voice was clearer than his anxiety. hvd.hn1epz Do n't you lose it, young lady? ” he admonished her when, the day before Christmas, he fastened it on her wrist.
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you see that? ” he asked gently. hvd.hn1epz Do n't you suppose I've seen how she looks at you?
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you think he is in love with her? ”If you ask me, I think he has reached the point where he ca n't bear the sight of her.
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you think it possible, Natalie, that he may intend to marry Marion Hayden?
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you think you will, some time? hvd.hn1epz Do n't you think, if he was away from this silly crowd he plays with, as he calls it, that he would be better off? ”.
hvd.hn1epz	Do you happen to know what became of her? ” Natalie stirred on her pillows, He it all ov. hvd.hn1epz Do you know you've loaned me over a hundred dollars, Graham?"
hvd.hn1epz	Do you like it?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you love him?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you mean that you are going to have another secretary at the plant?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you mean to say they're using things like that here? ”I mean to say they're planning to, if they have n't already.
hvd.hn1epz	Do you mind if I go, father?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you really think that, Natalie?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you really want him to go? ” he asked her. hvd.hn1epz Do you really want me to tell you? ”"Not if it's too disagreeable. ” “ Good heavens, Natalie.
hvd.hn1epz	Do you really want to go into that, to- night? ” “ Why not to- night? hvd.hn1epz Do you really want to go into that, to- night? ” “ Why not to- night?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you remember the one that fell and smashed all the things on it? hvd.hn1epz Do you suppose that cable is reliable? ” 382 DANGEROUS DAYS think, if you have anything to say to me, we would better talk alone."
hvd.hn1epz	Do you think I could operate a lathe, Clare?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you think for a moment that your wife will be willing to let you go?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you think it is only that? ” “ If it's the house, just remember you gave me carte blanche there.
hvd.hn1epz	Do you think she has gone to France?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you want to know why I like to be with you? hvd.hn1epz Does a lamishing man want water?"
hvd.hn1epz	Does she know?
hvd.hn1epz	Does your mother know? ”I told her, yes. ” He looked up quickly.
hvd.hn1epz	Flame color?
hvd.hn1epz	For the Allies? hvd.hn1epz Has it occurred to you that we are hitting it off rather badly lately?"
hvd.hn1epz	Has n't he been back at all, to- night?
hvd.hn1epz	Have n't you heard?
hvd.hn1epz	Have you any gold- filled ones that look like this? ”We do not handle gold- filled cases."
hvd.hn1epz	Have you ever thought that this war of ours means more than merely raising armies? ”I have n't thought about this war at all.
hvd.hn1epz	Have you got any whisky? ”You've had enough of that stuff. ” Some one was walking along the street outside.
hvd.hn1epz	Have you had a pleasant afternoon?
hvd.hn1epz	Have you had any trouble in your mill, Mr. Spencer? ”None whatever."
hvd.hn1epz	Have you noticed a change in your father since he came back? ” Her tone was so ominous that he started. hvd.hn1epz Have you thought of one thing?"
hvd.hn1epz	He's not doing very well, is he?.
hvd.hn1epz	He's not sick, is he?
hvd.hn1epz	Here? hvd.hn1epz His own people?"
hvd.hn1epz	How about mother? ”I think we may take it for granted that she feels as we do."
hvd.hn1epz	How about those plans, Rodney? ” he inquired genially. hvd.hn1epz How can he make his own decision?"
hvd.hn1epz	How do I know? hvd.hn1epz How do you get away with this to your father? ” he asked her once.
hvd.hn1epz	How do you mean, bad? ”. hvd.hn1epz How do your Germans like making shells for the Allies?"
hvd.hn1epz	How does he know what he wants?
hvd.hn1epz	How is Delight?
hvd.hn1epz	How is mother taking it?
hvd.hn1epz	How is the house coming on?
hvd.hn1epz	How is the poor child?
hvd.hn1epz	How long have you known it?
hvd.hn1epz	How much is this one? ”One hundred dollars. ” He almost dropped it.
hvd.hn1epz	How old d’you have to be to get into the army, Mr. Spen- cer? ” inquired the caddie, anxiously. hvd.hn1epz How's every little millionaire?"
hvd.hn1epz	How? hvd.hn1epz I ask you, Clayton,"he said,"what refuge is there for a man of peace?
hvd.hn1epz	I did n't hear it, but I suppose it is when the war will end?
hvd.hn1epz	I do n't think they meet at all, do they? ”. hvd.hn1epz I do n't want him round, do I? ”.
hvd.hn1epz	I fancy Nature meant men to marry young, do n't you? hvd.hn1epz I wonder if you think I have n't? ”"I know you have, my dear.
hvd.hn1epz	I wonder,Audrey said, slowly,"if he's worth it, De- light?"
hvd.hn1epz	I worked late. ” “ Where?
hvd.hn1epz	I — don't you want to call it a day?
hvd.hn1epz	I'm gone, I suppose?
hvd.hn1epz	I've got to carry it right along, have n't I? hvd.hn1epz I-wouldn't let you fai?
hvd.hn1epz	I? hvd.hn1epz If I put an extra thousand dollars to your account to- morrow, will you check it out to this fund? ”"It's too much. ” “ Will you?"
hvd.hn1epz	If I put an extra thousand dollars to your account to- morrow, will you check it out to this fund? ”It's too much. ” “ Will you?"
hvd.hn1epz	If I slide a letter out under the door, will you take it to the post- office for me? hvd.hn1epz If other women can do that sort of thing, why ca n't I, Clay?"
hvd.hn1epz	If that is true, why do you shake so? ” “ You scare me, father. ” She burst into frightened tears. hvd.hn1epz If they chose to take the chance, is it Germany's fault?
hvd.hn1epz	If you do n't love Clayton, why do n't you tell him so? hvd.hn1epz In the crowd?
hvd.hn1epz	Interesting, are n't they?
hvd.hn1epz	Is Graham in?
hvd.hn1epz	Is it all gone? hvd.hn1epz Is it what you want for me?"
hvd.hn1epz	Is it- about another woman? ”Well, of course now and then — there ar: always such stories.
hvd.hn1epz	Is that a promise?
hvd.hn1epz	Is that all? ” he asked, dully. hvd.hn1epz Is there anything else, sir?"
hvd.hn1epz	It was Herman Klein who did it?
hvd.hn1epz	It's awful, is n't it?
hvd.hn1epz	Kinda quiet to- day, ai n't it?
hvd.hn1epz	Ladies'? ” “ Yes. ” He finally found one that was a duplicate of Anna's, and 157 158 DANGEROUS DAYS examined it carefully. hvd.hn1epz Locked you in, has he?"
hvd.hn1epz	London as dark as they say?
hvd.hn1epz	Mother, do you really want me to marry Marion?
hvd.hn1epz	Mr. Spencer?
hvd.hn1epz	Odd little place, is n't it? ” Natalie offered after a second's silence. hvd.hn1epz Out of what?"
hvd.hn1epz	Out?
hvd.hn1epz	Police after you? ” “ Yes, ” Anna replied briefly. hvd.hn1epz Probably in love with you once, like all the rest?".
hvd.hn1epz	Really?
hvd.hn1epz	Shall I ring for Madeleine?
hvd.hn1epz	She is n't taking it very hard, is she? ” Then his voice changed. hvd.hn1epz Since the day Chris left. ”"When was that? ”"The day we dined there. ”"And Audrey told you?"
hvd.hn1epz	Since the day Chris left. ”When was that? ”"The day we dined there. ”"And Audrey told you?"
hvd.hn1epz	Since when?
hvd.hn1epz	Sleep well? ” he inquired, looking down at her. hvd.hn1epz So the mill gave it to you, eh?
hvd.hn1epz	Somebody been treatin'you rough? ” he asked, more sym- pathetic than curious. hvd.hn1epz Suppose I pick you up and we have dinner somewhere?"
hvd.hn1epz	Sure. ”But for what?"
hvd.hn1epz	Tell me, ” he said once,what does a fellow wear in this er- Italian palace?
hvd.hn1epz	That would imply a degree of intimacy that hardly exista, does it?
hvd.hn1epz	That's a good reason, is n't it?
hvd.hn1epz	That's a matter for a man's conscience, is n't it, sir? ” he asked. hvd.hn1epz That's why you asked her?
hvd.hn1epz	Then you had n't known about Marion when you proposed that before?
hvd.hn1epz	Then you'll let me know, Clare? ” “ Thank you. hvd.hn1epz Then you're not going to throw me over altogether?"
hvd.hn1epz	Then, if we get into it, as you say, you'll encourage Gra- ham to go?
hvd.hn1epz	They will have to help to support me, wo n't they? ”. hvd.hn1epz Think we rather had them, eh, Graham? ”"Think you did, sir.
hvd.hn1epz	This girl you spoke about, that was the business you men- oned?
hvd.hn1epz	Tired, honey? ” he asked, on one of those occasions. hvd.hn1epz Unless they go for war contracts, eh? ” said Valentine pleasantly, a way he had of taking the edge off the frequent impertinence of his speech.
hvd.hn1epz	Was I pretty awful last night? ” he asked. hvd.hn1epz Was he here?"
hvd.hn1epz	Was that good or was n't it?.
hvd.hn1epz	We? hvd.hn1epz Well, can you beat it? ” he inquired of the empty air.
hvd.hn1epz	Well, do n't you think I'd better leave you here?
hvd.hn1epz	Well, do n't you think we ought?
hvd.hn1epz	Well, the country is rich, is n't it?
hvd.hn1epz	Well, what are you doing?
hvd.hn1epz	Well, you know them, do n't you?
hvd.hn1epz	Well? hvd.hn1epz Well? ” he demanded, after an excellent putt.
hvd.hn1epz	Well? ” she said. hvd.hn1epz Well?"
hvd.hn1epz	What I got on? ” he demanded, faintly. hvd.hn1epz What about now?"
hvd.hn1epz	What about the new place? ” “ It's too soon to discuss that. hvd.hn1epz What about you?
hvd.hn1epz	What are you doing here, anyhow?
hvd.hn1epz	What are you going to do?
hvd.hn1epz	What are you going to get out of it, anyhow?
hvd.hn1epz	What can I do? hvd.hn1epz What do we care for the family?
hvd.hn1epz	What do you mean?
hvd.hn1epz	What do you think you're doing, anyhow? ” he demanded. hvd.hn1epz What do you want me to say?
hvd.hn1epz	What does that matter? hvd.hn1epz What else are they saying?"
hvd.hn1epz	What in the world has Graham got to do with it?
hvd.hn1epz	What the hell do I care about your affairs? hvd.hn1epz What with?"
hvd.hn1epz	What're you hanging round for?
hvd.hn1epz	What's happened to you?
hvd.hn1epz	What's he hanging around here for? ” he demanded when Rodney, having bent over Marion's hand and kissed it, had gone away. hvd.hn1epz What's the matter with the girls on this hill?"
hvd.hn1epz	What's the matter with you?
hvd.hn1epz	What's the matter? ” She was rather a pretty girl, even now. hvd.hn1epz What's the news about Graham Spencer?"
hvd.hn1epz	What's this? ” he inquired. hvd.hn1epz What's up?"
hvd.hn1epz	When did you do that? ” “ The night we broke with Germany, in February. hvd.hn1epz When have we been to- gether?
hvd.hn1epz	When shall I come?
hvd.hn1epz	Where are you going to take me?
hvd.hn1epz	Where is the daughter? ”I do n't know.
hvd.hn1epz	Where you going? ” Rudolph demanded uneasily. hvd.hn1epz Where you got this?
hvd.hn1epz	Where's Anna? ” he asked briskly. hvd.hn1epz Where, for instance?"
hvd.hn1epz	Who?
hvd.hn1epz	Why ca n't we fight? ” he asked. hvd.hn1epz Why did n't he stay and face it like a man?
hvd.hn1epz	Why did she have to tell you? ”If you want the exact truth, she borrowed a small sum from me, as the banks were closed, naturally.
hvd.hn1epz	Why do n't you find something to do, something to inter- est you? ” Audrey suggested finally. hvd.hn1epz Why do n't you send it yourself?"
hvd.hn1epz	Why do n't you try to do what he wants, Natalie? hvd.hn1epz Why do n't you turn your carriage- house into a studio, and give a studio warming, Roddie?
hvd.hn1epz	Why wo n't she come in?
hvd.hn1epz	Why, is anything wrong?
hvd.hn1epz	Worth what?
hvd.hn1epz	Would it help to talk about it?' hvd.hn1epz Would n't it be better just to have it out?"
hvd.hn1epz	Would n't you like it to go in your name?
hvd.hn1epz	You are angry, are n't you? ” He hesitated. hvd.hn1epz You are n't going to get up and go away?"
hvd.hn1epz	You are quite the loveliest woman I know. ”Still?
hvd.hn1epz	You are throwing a sop to Providence, are n't you?
hvd.hn1epz	You do n't mind if I do n't go on to Page's, do you? hvd.hn1epz You do n't think it would do if she was moved to another office?"
hvd.hn1epz	You knew it, eh? hvd.hn1epz You know it, do n't you?
hvd.hn1epz	You mean, conscription among the laboring class? ” Nat- alie had asked naïvely, and there had been a roar of laughter. hvd.hn1epz You promised me once to let him make his own decision if the time came. ” “ When did I promise that?"
hvd.hn1epz	You think we get in, then?
hvd.hn1epz	You think we only talk, eh? hvd.hn1epz You think you are really in love with her?"
hvd.hn1epz	You want to break the engagement?
hvd.hn1epz	You want to go to France, of course?
hvd.hn1epz	You will tell me what you mean. ” 246 DANGEROUS DAYSWell, I ask you, do you think she'd spend that much on a watch?
hvd.hn1epz	You will, wo n't you, Graham, dear? ”Sorry, mother.
hvd.hn1epz	You wo n't cut me out of your life, Natalie? ” he asked wistfully. hvd.hn1epz You wo n't make him 26 DANGEROUS DAYS go, Clay?"
hvd.hn1epz	You'll talk to Clay, wo n't you? hvd.hn1epz You're being rather vulgar, are n't you?"
hvd.hn1epz	You've seen that scandalous thing in the paper! ”It was sent to me. ”"Who sent it?"
hvd.hn1epz	'I got some wonderful old rugs to- day, Clay. ” “ Yes?"

hvd.hn1epz	And I have reared this young viper Who is she?"
hvd.hn1epz	And Natalie, who would not have sacrificed this new thrill for anything real in the world, replied: “ It would be better, would n't it?".
hvd.hn1epz	And how Graham heard it and came down?".
hvd.hn1epz	And if he did, what then?
hvd.hn1epz	And if he was, what would be the effect of their anti- English mania?
hvd.hn1epz	And if there were, why?
hvd.hn1epz	And later on, that I asked you for work in your mill for the girl I got it for?"
hvd.hn1epz	And now, how shall I go about getting in?

hvd.hn1epz	And what sort of home life were he and Natalie giving the boy?
hvd.hn1epz	And whatever shall I wear? ” Clare explained while, for she was determined not to lose a minute, Audrey changed into her plainest clothes.
hvd.hn1epz	And you did not tell me?"
hvd.hn1epz	And — what sort of a house has Rodney planned, anyhow? ”"Italian, with a sunken garden.
hvd.hn1epz	Anyhow Mrs. Spencer is telling everybody he ca n't be spared. ” “ And his father? ”"I do n't know.
hvd.hn1epz	Are n't you going?
hvd.hn1epz	Are we doing anything, I wonder?
hvd.hn1epz	Are you going to have them come as grooms, or jockeys?
hvd.hn1epz	Are you sure it's enough? ”"Plenty.
hvd.hn1epz	As it is?!
hvd.hn1epz	Audrey dear, what are you trying to do?
hvd.hn1epz	Audrey, do you hear from Chris? ”"Yes.
hvd.hn1epz	Be- sides, where could she go?
hvd.hn1epz	Because I do n't think as you do?
hvd.hn1epz	But he's gone to the war. ”"Oh, he has, has he? ” Clayton built a small tee, and placed his ball on it.
hvd.hn1epz	But if she did, why?
hvd.hn1epz	But if we could only agree on it- don't you see how it is now? ” he asked, trying to reason gently with her.
hvd.hn1epz	But it does n't spell shipwreck. ”"Do you mean that I will marry again?"
hvd.hn1epz	But it's pretty early, is n't it?
hvd.hn1epz	But success?
hvd.hn1epz	But what about the next two or three?
hvd.hn1epz	But what?
hvd.hn1epz	But would you send the money?
hvd.hn1epz	But you would n't care to be married to them, would you?"

hvd.hn1epz	By God, it's a dirty world, is n't it? ” Suddenly he was gone, and Clayton, following uneasily to the doorway, heard a slam below.
hvd.hn1epz	Ca n't you remember that we must love our enemies?"
hvd.hn1epz	Ca n't you spell?"
hvd.hn1epz	Can you see the ad- ministration endangering the next election with a draft law?
hvd.hn1epz	Can you talk?"

hvd.hn1epz	Did he resent it?
hvd.hn1epz	Did she really care for him, as Anna cared, for instance?
hvd.hn1epz	Did you come up- stairs to- night, with this thing hanging over us, to talk about happiness?
hvd.hn1epz	Did your orchids come?"
hvd.hn1epz	Do I?
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you suppose I know that Clayton Spencer hates the very chair I sit on?
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you suppose I want to be happy?".
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you suppose even dear old Clay likes a pretty woman?
hvd.hn1epz	Do n't you think I've gone over it all, over and over again?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you happen to know where she is?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you mean to say that Chris has had a magnificent impulse and gone to fight?
hvd.hn1epz	Do you suppose I want to be pretty? ”"Well, I do, ” said Delight, calmly.
hvd.hn1epz	Do you think I can help you into the house?"

hvd.hn1epz	Do you think I'm going to send him over there to be cannon- fodder?
hvd.hn1epz	Does he know that?

hvd.hn1epz	Even when the details had been arranged she stil?
hvd.hn1epz	Everything?"
hvd.hn1epz	For food? ”.
hvd.hn1epz	From what?
hvd.hn1epz	Getting ready?
hvd.hn1epz	Give you a good dinner-it was a nice dinner, was n't it?"
hvd.hn1epz	Good God, was he doing it already?
hvd.hn1epz	Good gracious, Rodney, are you worrying about that?"
hvd.hn1epz	Good gracious, Rodney, is n't that had enough? ” “ But what did you expect?
hvd.hn1epz	Good gracious, Rodney, is n't that had enough? ” “ But what did you expect?
hvd.hn1epz	Good reasoning, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1epz	Goodness knows we've been quiet enough this Lent. ”"You know Congress has been re- convened? ” “ I do n't know why that should interfere."
hvd.hn1epz	Graham is bringing me a sleeping- powder. ”"If you are not sleepy, may I talk to you about some things?"
hvd.hn1epz	Had she heard of Marion?
hvd.hn1epz	Had the fiber of our women weakened since then?
hvd.hn1epz	Had the place looked well?
hvd.hn1epz	Has it occurred to you she would even see you married to a girl she detests, to keep you at home?"
hvd.hn1epz	Has it really gone through?
hvd.hn1epz	Have they lost nothing? ” This was Clayton's attorney, an Irishman named Denis Nolan.
hvd.hn1epz	Have they quar- reled, or anything?".
hvd.hn1epz	Have you been here long, sir?"
hvd.hn1epz	Have you noticed it?"
hvd.hn1epz	Have you seen Lloyd George's speech on the German peace terms?
hvd.hn1epz	He was a nephew, was n't he?"
hvd.hn1epz	He was very tired, and the yard was DANGEROUS DAYS 325"Shall I tell you now, sir?"
hvd.hn1epz	He'd never believe anything else. ”"Do you think he followed you the other day?"
hvd.hn1epz	He's a beast; that's what he is. ” “ Katie, ” Anna said,"if I leave can you get my clothes to me?
hvd.hn1epz	He's quite as likely as not never to come back, is n't he?
hvd.hn1epz	Hidden away, the two of them?
hvd.hn1epz	Honest to heaven, that's right, father. ” “ So you have had a raise, and you have not told me?"
hvd.hn1epz	How about it? ” Old Herman assented.
hvd.hn1epz	How account for her, then?
hvd.hn1epz	How are you, Nolan?
hvd.hn1epz	How could she even have cared?
hvd.hn1epz	How could she?
hvd.hn1epz	How long jad she known it?
hvd.hn1epz	How much better was this sort of thing?
hvd.hn1epz	How much of it was real, how much a pose?
hvd.hn1epz	How was he to blame her?
hvd.hn1epz	How's the family?
hvd.hn1epz	How? ” Herman asked, suspiciously, holding his razor aloft.
hvd.hn1epz	I bought it myself. ” “ With what money? ”"I had a raise.
hvd.hn1epz	I ca n't let you do that, of course. ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hn1epz	I daresay I ought to be able to learn to do that well, anyhow. ”"Have you forgiven me for this afternoon? ”"I was n't angry.
hvd.hn1epz	I daresay I've done something; I do n't know what, but of course I am guilty. ” “ Why did you bring Marion here to- day, mother?"
hvd.hn1epz	I do n't deserve them. ” “ What awful crime have you been committing?
hvd.hn1epz	I do n't look as though I'm just bumming a ride, do I? ” The conductor hesitated.
hvd.hn1epz	I have my business, but you have nothing to do, and — I suppose you would n't be interested in war- work, would you?
hvd.hn1epz	I have n't any possible right to be angry. ” “ Will you come up and let me tell you about it, Clay?"
hvd.hn1epz	I mean — as I do, that it's all hardly worth while?
hvd.hn1epz	I mean, par ticularly in mind. ” “ Not very much. ” But after a moment: “ Why do n't you make Natalie play golf? ”"She hates it."
hvd.hn1epz	I mean, those things do slip up sometimes, do n't they? ”"It's gone through, all right.
hvd.hn1epz	I rejoice in your prosperity, because you have earned it. ”"You think, then,"he had asked, “ that we only receive as we give?
hvd.hn1epz	I suppose she gets considerable data where she is?"
hvd.hn1epz	I suppose you ca n't go home, after this?"
hvd.hn1epz	I was locked in. ”"Locked in? ” He was studying her face.
hvd.hn1epz	I wonder- I suppose you do n't mind my using you as a sort of'anchor to windward?"
hvd.hn1epz	I'd like to run over, but what's the use?
hvd.hn1epz	I'm rather proud of her. ” “ Clare?"
hvd.hn1epz	I'm sick of batting round. ”"You want to marry before you enter the army?"
hvd.hn1epz	I've got a friend, a city detective, and he'll help me, see?
hvd.hn1epz	I-""What has that to do with it?"
hvd.hn1epz	If I keep her-"Ca n't Natalie talk to him?
hvd.hn1epz	If he wants to enter the army, that's up to him, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1epz	If there is what you call weakness, would n't the army be good for it?
hvd.hn1epz	If we're going to be consistent, we ca n't do any grabbing in Europe, can we?"
hvd.hn1epz	If you tell me not to put my hand on a certain piece in a machine and I do it anyhow, is it your fault if I lose a hand? ”.
hvd.hn1epz	If you would only be ordinarily civil to her- oh, do n't you see?
hvd.hn1epz	Is anything wrong? ”"Chris has been killed, ” she replied, and hung up the re- ceiver.
hvd.hn1epz	Is he still fooled?
hvd.hn1epz	Is n't everybody who is worth anything going?
hvd.hn1epz	Is there any place near?"
hvd.hn1epz	It affects us all. ” “ Yes? ” He hesitated.
hvd.hn1epz	It makes men, some times, does n't it?"
hvd.hn1epz	It should be finished by the end of April. ”"Clay, ” she said, after a moment, “ are you going to employ women in the new munition works?"
hvd.hn1epz	It was a nice luncheon, was n't it?"
hvd.hn1epz	It was typical of him, the"we. ”"A car?
hvd.hn1epz	It's not bad. ”"What sort of talk? ”.
hvd.hn1epz	It's not my way, but then I'm only a woman and a mother. ” “ You think he'll object?"
hvd.hn1epz	Jackson and Klein, and who knew who would be next?
hvd.hn1epz	Love?
hvd.hn1epz	May I come? ” There was a second's pause.
hvd.hn1epz	Might she not, after the fashion of women, be building a new and idealized Chris, now that he had gone to war, out of his very common clay?
hvd.hn1epz	Mother all right this morning? ”"I think she is still sleeping."
hvd.hn1epz	No camouflage about these skirts, is there?"
hvd.hn1epz	Now, why are you crying?"
hvd.hn1epz	Now- what can I do about this youth who ca n't make up his own mind? ” “ You can talk to his mother."
hvd.hn1epz	Once she had said:"Are n't you ever coming to see me, Clay?"
hvd.hn1epz	Or for us? ” “ Good heavens, man, it's the same thing.
hvd.hn1epz	Or had it been Rodney?
hvd.hn1epz	Or that he's running away from some- thing?"
hvd.hn1epz	Or would it only bring her close for a moment, to emphasize her coming si lence?
hvd.hn1epz	Or would the country be drawn together by trouble until it changed from a federa- tion of states to a great nation, united and unbeatable?
hvd.hn1epz	Play?
hvd.hn1epz	Poor Rod! ”"About me?"
hvd.hn1epz	Pretty, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1epz	Quick work, is n't it?
hvd.hn1epz	See here, Mr. Spen- cer, d'you ever hear of counter- espionage?"
hvd.hn1epz	See?
hvd.hn1epz	See?"
hvd.hn1epz	Shall I have Buckham light a fire? ” She came in, slowly.
hvd.hn1epz	She had bought herself a watch-"What did you beat her with? ” Rudolph was licking his lips.
hvd.hn1epz	She has left no address. ” “ Gone away? ” Clayton repeated.
hvd.hn1epz	She heard his step on the porch outside, and called to him, “ Is that you, Briggs? ” The postman was “ Briggs ” to the hill.
hvd.hn1epz	She looks cold, but one ca n't tell, and some men- has she a drop of honest, unselfish passion in her?".
hvd.hn1epz	She thought, “ Does he know about her?
hvd.hn1epz	She's — do you know Delight is here?"
hvd.hn1epz	Since when had the Spencer plant taken to giving watches for Christmas?
hvd.hn1epz	So I sent for you, and now you act like- like Clay,""Have you any one here?"
hvd.hn1epz	Some nice young chap who will worship you all the days of his life?
hvd.hn1epz	Still, what could she explain?
hvd.hn1epz	Tell me, Nolan, why is it that you always have individual humor and collective ill- humor?"
hvd.hn1epz	That coal now, you'd see that go into your furnaces, or under your boilers, or wherever you use it, and would n't worry, would you?"
hvd.hn1epz	That place does n't sell on installments. ”"Who is there would buy her such a watch? ” Herman's voice was thick.
hvd.hn1epz	That silly mother of his- she is silly, daddy, and selfish- Do you know what she is doing now? ”"We ought not to discuss her.
hvd.hn1epz	That you are my woman? ”.
hvd.hn1epz	That's going some for curtains, is n't it?".

hvd.hn6ptj	BUCKING THE TIGER with that large hand of yours?
hvd.hn6ptj	Break the news to Sir Charles? ”"Not at all!
hvd.hn6ptj	Bunches and bales of the ready, eh, what?
hvd.hn6ptj	But I guess that's what we are sent into the world for, to work; do n't you think so? ” Macdonald laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	But I lay you ten to one his father is the syndicate. ” “ Why? ”"Why?
hvd.hn6ptj	But I lay you ten to one his father is the syndicate. ” “ Why? ”"Why?
hvd.hn6ptj	But ca n't you even say a decent word?"
hvd.hn6ptj	But just suppose an additional seventy- five thousand bones'policy falls due?
hvd.hn6ptj	But why not?
hvd.hn6ptj	By Jingo, manicuring seems to be paying well these days. ” “ Will you please let me pass?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Did you rob anybody?
hvd.hn6ptj	Do n't you remember that day when I paid my share of the suicide syndicate, and when I flashed all that big roll of yellowbacks?
hvd.hn6ptj	Do n't you see that unless you're rich and carefree you're paying too big a price for the privilege of liv- ing?
hvd.hn6ptj	Do n't you see?
hvd.hn6ptj	Do you regret our compact? ” “ No,"bellowed Graham.
hvd.hn6ptj	Do you want to live forever? ” Walsh jumped up as if raised by a spring.
hvd.hn6ptj	Ever try it? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn6ptj	Everybody's got to do some sort of work, do n't you think so? ” 136 THE MIDAS TOUCH Macdonald looked up puzzled.
hvd.hn6ptj	Figuratively speaking, we want to misuse a nine- inch piece of lead pipe on Mac's coco, eh?
hvd.hn6ptj	Get that?
hvd.hn6ptj	Get the ‘ nothing more?
hvd.hn6ptj	Give me a stake worth while-- and I'll show you what I can do! ” 40 BUCKING THE TIGER what are we, eh?
hvd.hn6ptj	Go on... the first ace means — ahem, you know, do n't yer? ” “ Death? ” Macdonald queried.
hvd.hn6ptj	Go on... the first ace means — ahem, you know, do n't yer? ” “ Death? ” Macdonald queried.
hvd.hn6ptj	Good 60 THE PLAN God, what more do you want, you cowards?
hvd.hn6ptj	Got it now?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Graham laughed"It's self- evident, is n't it?
hvd.hn6ptj	Has n't he told you? ” “ No. ” So she told them.
hvd.hn6ptj	Has the Kaiser shaved off his moustache?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Have I got it all straight?
hvd.hn6ptj	Have the limburger veins of the West- 113 BUCKING THE TIGER phalian mountains pinched out?
hvd.hn6ptj	Have ye a cigar about ye? ”"No."
hvd.hn6ptj	Have you no heart?
hvd.hn6ptj	Have you no sympathy?
hvd.hn6ptj	He paid spot cash. ” “ What d’you make of it, dad? ” “ That ai n't the question, my son.
hvd.hn6ptj	He told you that, did n't he? ” Marshall looked at his father with reverence tempered by envy.
hvd.hn6ptj	Here's the way for all of us- for all of us but one! ” “ Yes, ” the Frenchman said softly, “ but what about that one? ” Macdonald laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	How much is the first year's premium? ” “ What age? ” Macdonald glanced around the company, quickly striking an average.
hvd.hn6ptj	How much is the first year's premium? ” “ What age? ” Macdonald glanced around the company, quickly striking an average.
hvd.hn6ptj	How much per share would you say at a rough guess? ”"Four hundred and seventeen,"Marshall opined, quoting the market price.
hvd.hn6ptj	How much would it cost them?
hvd.hn6ptj	How the devil did you guess it? ” The financier interpreted Macdonald's last remark as pure, unadulterated sarcasm.
hvd.hn6ptj	How'll that do? ”"Fine and dandy. ” “ All right.
hvd.hn6ptj	I am so broke that every morning I have to collect the tiny little pieces of myself and tie them together so that I can leave the room, hein?
hvd.hn6ptj	I give you a week to come across with the boodle! ” “ A week? ” Graham gasped.
hvd.hn6ptj	I shall ” “ Take an interest in the Western Crown? ” Marshall interrupted craftily.
hvd.hn6ptj	I suppose you'll go over the books of the com- pany?"
hvd.hn6ptj	I too am down- and- out! ”"What are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hn6ptj	If it's right for the company to bet against your death, is it wrong for me to bet against the company?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Is n't that so? ”"Right, ” chimed in his cherub- faced coun- tryman.
hvd.hn6ptj	It's also strictly and uncompromisingly American. ” “ Life insurance? ” the Frenchman inquired.
hvd.hn6ptj	It's right, is n't it?
hvd.hn6ptj	Just for a few days?
hvd.hn6ptj	Man is born in an hour, and dies in a second; why ca n't he love in a day?
hvd.hn6ptj	My days are numbered. ”"Wha — what? ” Tears came into her eyes.
hvd.hn6ptj	No work for him, eh?
hvd.hn6ptj	Now do n't you think that a man whose days are numbered has the right to have a girl about him whom he likes?
hvd.hn6ptj	One year; twelve months; three hundred and sixty- five days, and then?
hvd.hn6ptj	Our son? ” “ Yuss.
hvd.hn6ptj	Promise me that? ” The two men looked at each other, and then 179 · BUCKING THE TIGER they looked at Macdonald.
hvd.hn6ptj	Ralph did. ” “ Ralph?
hvd.hn6ptj	Really?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Remember when I proposed to you?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Remember? ” 215 BUCKING THE TIGER Lord Graham smiled reminiscently.
hvd.hn6ptj	Reminds you of the Boers, eh? ” Walsh was next and received a small dia- mond, while Traube got the queen of hearts.
hvd.hn6ptj	Robertson in?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Should he accept it?
hvd.hn6ptj	Should he let 177 BUCKING THE TIGER these useless wastrels have the money which he had decided to leave to the girl?
hvd.hn6ptj	Should he let Graham blackmail him?
hvd.hn6ptj	So his voice trembled a little as he continued: “ Say, mister- ain't- ain't it O. K.? ” Houghton smiled at him like a benign elderly wolf.
hvd.hn6ptj	Some business deal? ”"You guessed it first time, old man.
hvd.hn6ptj	Suppose I show you a way of making some money- real money?
hvd.hn6ptj	Suppose we buy a heavy insurance — say a hundred thou- sand dollars — for one of our number? ”"Vell, wot good would dat do?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Suppose we buy a heavy insurance — say a hundred thou- sand dollars — for one of our number? ”"Vell, wot good would dat do?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Take the premiums in notes — any old notes but insure them. ” “ What about my commission? ” Hayes in- quired.
hvd.hn6ptj	The other was still suspicious; so he con- tinued severely: “ You are n't trying to be funny, are you?
hvd.hn6ptj	Then he asked suddenly:"Stuck on your line of work, Miss Steeves?
hvd.hn6ptj	Then you got thirsty- oh, so very thirsty-and what are you to- day?
hvd.hn6ptj	They all gambled, did n't they?
hvd.hn6ptj	To- morrow's the first of April, is n't it?
hvd.hn6ptj	Vot good iss a limit onless you shtick to it?
hvd.hn6ptj	Vot vill I do mit der bicture of a dead Frenchvoman?
hvd.hn6ptj	Walsh sat down across from Miss Steeves: “ Say, Miss Emily, ” he said, “ ai n't Mac the swell guy though?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Was n't'e the cunnin'little shaver? ” “ And the plans we made for him,"she con- tinued, “ do you remember?
hvd.hn6ptj	Was n't'e the cunnin'little shaver? ” “ And the plans we made for him,"she con- tinued, “ do you remember?
hvd.hn6ptj	We can owe each other, ca n't we?
hvd.hn6ptj	We want to sell, do n't we?
hvd.hn6ptj	Well, tell me, what is two dollars a day?
hvd.hn6ptj	What about a job?"
hvd.hn6ptj	What are you now?
hvd.hn6ptj	What d'you mean by the in- finite?
hvd.hn6ptj	What did it all mean?
hvd.hn6ptj	What did that snivelling, sentimental Salva- tion Army man understand of the tribulations of a man like himself?
hvd.hn6ptj	What do you care?
hvd.hn6ptj	What do you say?
hvd.hn6ptj	What do you think?"
hvd.hn6ptj	What do you want to know for?"
hvd.hn6ptj	What else could it be?
hvd.hn6ptj	What has remained of the past glories?
hvd.hn6ptj	What have we accom- plished? ” He laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	What of it?
hvd.hn6ptj	What of that?
hvd.hn6ptj	What then?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Where's that haw- hawing little specimen of 31 BUCKING THE TIGER arrogant British humanity?
hvd.hn6ptj	Why not?
hvd.hn6ptj	Why should n't Graham die, or the count, or I myself-or any one of us, for that matter?
hvd.hn6ptj	Why, we are men of education and ability, of strength, what?"
hvd.hn6ptj	Why?
hvd.hn6ptj	Why? ” Macdonald lit a cigarette.
hvd.hn6ptj	You bloke Amelica, you bloke evelywhere, savvy?
hvd.hn6ptj	You do n't mind that, do you? ” “ Not a bit, ” Graham replied.
hvd.hn6ptj	You know what to expect from half the men who come to have their nails mani- cured?"
hvd.hn6ptj	You must respect a dying man's last wish, do n't you think? ” Then he con- tinued seriously.
hvd.hn6ptj	You would n't be so cowardly as to smite an old man on the top shelf after allaying his suspi- cions? ” Macdonald laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	You would n't do that to me, would you, my boy?
hvd.hn6ptj	You're working for Ritchie Macdonald now, are n't you?"
hvd.hn6ptj	let's have a gin- and- bitters and a few cocktails; then a bit of food, what?
hvd.hn6ptj	· 284 BUCKING THE TIGER ST was that fifty thousand bones which Graham got for the Red Cañon stuff which saved the day for him, eh?"
hvd.hn6ptj	·"But why?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ About thirty years, I guess. ” “ One hundred thousand bones, you said? ” “ Yes. ” Hayes pointed at the book.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Ai n't Frenchie broke too?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Ai n't he, though? ” Walsh agreed.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Ai n't we going to see you any more? ” Macdonald laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ All of it? ” “ Yep. ” “ How much have you got there? ” “ Fourteen hundred plunk. ” Hayes made a rapid calculation.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ All of it? ” “ Yep. ” “ How much have you got there? ” “ Fourteen hundred plunk. ” Hayes made a rapid calculation.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ And Pat owns control? ” “ Yes. ” Macdonald hit the aged financier heartily on the back.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ And who's responsible for stealin'? ” the voice continued.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ And you'll also sign a little paper stating that you release me voluntarily from my suicide compact, wo n't you? ” Graham obeyed.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Andy, ” he said, “ are you going to specu- late, or are you going in for a straight, solid investment? ”.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Are you going to work? ” “ No, ” said Macdonald.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ But is n't it too bad that he's in such wretched health? ” Both the count and the cowpuncher looked up startled.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ But is that a reason why you want to kill yourself — just because you love me?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ But what's the good of wishing?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ But what's the idea? ” he asked.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Ca n't you say a word?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Care to take a hand, Mac? ” he asked.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Cash transaction? ” he asked casually.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ De fellow wot's insured ai n't going to die chust to oblige de oders, iss he? ” “ Why not? ” Macdonald asked casually, and was silent.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ De fellow wot's insured ai n't going to die chust to oblige de oders, iss he? ” “ Why not? ” Macdonald asked casually, and was silent.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Der question is, how moch haf you got?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Did I ever tell you that I carry quite a hefty little life insurance with the Western Crown, taken out a few days before Mac took out his?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Did Pat Kenny say what sort of a trade he was willing to make? ”-“Yes, yes, ” the other replied.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Did you arsk wot's the matter, Syrah?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Did you pay out all the money we saved up?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Do you think you could lend me a hundred to- morrow?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Enfin, you know — what does the poet say—“He whom the gods wish to destroy~ You know the quota- tion?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Good heavens, man, ca n't you see?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Has a blight struck the sauerkraut crop?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ How much do you want? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ How much? ” he inquired with a loud voice and a subdued sigh.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ I guess you know Mac pretty well, do n't you?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ I suppose you're acting for Macdonald? ” Houghton inquired as he was about to fill in the name of the option buyer.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ I'll come. ” “ When?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ If you do n't tell me, I shall ask Mr. Graham himself. ” “ You — you'll ask Graham? ” He made a grimace like a man who hears a false note.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Is that sufficient reason to hit a man?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Is — is there anything wrong?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ It's the truth, is n't it?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ It's uncommon cold outside — and ye're not wearing an overcoat, hey? ” “ Go to the head of the class, Robertson.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Let's what? ” Walsh asked again.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Like me as much as all that? ” he asked slowly.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Mind telling me what it is?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ My word, old chap, how the deuce did you guess it?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ No danger of Mac welshing, what? ” Graham laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Remember that time when Ralph wired you to send him the money so he could buy off that horrid Indian wife of young Hillyer?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Ritchie, dear,"the girl turned to him, “ you said that all your life you've been a was- trel? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Say, ai n't it a swell chance?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Say, fellows, would n't we? ” There was a feebly fluttering murmur of as- sent.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Say, you fellows, what's all the row about?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Sir Charles's son? ”"Right- oh."
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Speaking about bunco- games, ” he went on; “ where's Hillyer, Spokane's prize book- agent?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Suicide- suicide- but why?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ That depends — that depends,"Houghton mumbled; then he continued sternly:"Graham did n't buy those shares for you?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ That stuff is assessable, is n't it? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn6ptj	“ That's a sure sign, ai n't it, that he's going to lay low and watch the company?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Then what the devil do you mean by com- ing here and talking to me about the Western Crown? ” he shouted.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Ve ask you how moch money you haf got, no? ” Hayes pushed the German to one side.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Watd’yer mean bad health? ” the latter ex- claimed.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Well, gentlemen,"he said, “ to what pleasant chain of circumstances am I indebted for this charming visit en masse?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Well, why the hell do n't you work if you want money?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What about a job?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What about the corner office on the tenth floor, Mac? ” he asked.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What are you going to do with it? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What d'ya mean'welsh ’? ” the cowpuncher inquired with an ugly scowl.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What d'you think it was? ” “ I think it was an ace, by heck! ” Again the other laughed.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What did the Chink say?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What do you mean? ” “ That's what the doctors give me, Miss Steeves.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What does Ralph write, dear?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What d’you mean?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What is it, Mac? ” he said with a smile which seemed moulded in marble.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What is it?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What the deuce has Macdonald to do with all this? ”.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What the devil do you mean by introducing this — ah- painful sub- ject?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What was it, what was it? ” Graham de- manded with an ugly oath.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What was that for? ” Macdonald inquired.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What you want, eh? ” “ Stake me to two bits. ” 22 BROKE The reply came low- voiced, passionless, but decisive.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What ’re you going to invest in?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What's that got to do with it? ”"A whole lot, ” Houghton said.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What's the mat- ter with you?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What's the matter with you fellows? ” he asked.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What's the matter, Frenchie?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What's the matter, dear? ” she asked again smilingly.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What's the row? ” Macdonald inquired.
hvd.hn6ptj	“ What?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Why should n't you die, Traube?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Why- don't you know?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ William dear, ” she whispered, “ do you re- member the day Ralph was born?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Wot you mean talkee like dat, hey?
hvd.hn6ptj	“ Yes, Miss Emily?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ You are n't thinking of taking out any insurance, are you?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ You mean that? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn6ptj	“ You said that you'll never amount to any- thing?"
hvd.hn6ptj	“ You're broke, too, you two fellows, are n't you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h8j	1- 1, must I tell? hvd.hn1h8j A little before. ”"What did you see? ”"Just what I have told you.
hvd.hn1h8j	A trial? hvd.hn1h8j A woodchuck?
hvd.hn1h8j	A- a woman? ”. hvd.hn1h8j Ai n't foolin'?"
hvd.hn1h8j	And after that?
hvd.hn1h8j	And did he get out?
hvd.hn1h8j	And have I helped you? ”I think you have."
hvd.hn1h8j	And is that all?.
hvd.hn1h8j	And kill him?
hvd.hn1h8j	And she fainted in your arms?.
hvd.hn1h8j	And that is all you can tell me?
hvd.hn1h8j	And the patent is yours?
hvd.hn1h8j	And this is the reason why the police think Miss Langmore the guilty person? ”It is.
hvd.hn1h8j	And was n't the young lady jealous of her stepmother in a way?
hvd.hn1h8j	And we'll have good times when he's gone, ai n't that so, Caddie?
hvd.hn1h8j	And what of the other men?
hvd.hn1h8j	And who is to be put on the stand?
hvd.hn1h8j	And you have no idea what the poison was? ” “ No, nor has Doctor Soper. hvd.hn1h8j Another case? ” queried Tom Ostrello.
hvd.hn1h8j	Anybody else?
hvd.hn1h8j	Anything else?
hvd.hn1h8j	Anything else?
hvd.hn1h8j	Anything new?
hvd.hn1h8j	Are you an — an officer?
hvd.hn1h8j	Are you certain you put it in the clothes closet?
hvd.hn1h8j	Are you in the habit of wearing finger rings and bracelets?
hvd.hn1h8j	Are you the judge?
hvd.hn1h8j	Are you transacting business down here?
hvd.hn1h8j	Are you? ” sneered the Englishman. hvd.hn1h8j At liberty?
hvd.hn1h8j	Away? hvd.hn1h8j But how can they be better for me?"
hvd.hn1h8j	But how?
hvd.hn1h8j	But she did think a good deal of the one who is now downstairs? ” “ Yes, although they occasionally had their quarrels, just as we had ours. hvd.hn1h8j But what are you doing here?"
hvd.hn1h8j	But why not look for Miss Langmore instead? ” At this Raymond's face grew troubled. hvd.hn1h8j But you will undertake a case for me, if I pay you well for it, wo n't you? ” interrupted the young man eagerly.
hvd.hn1h8j	Ca n't you get in with him and find out what's what? ” suggested Matlock Styles. hvd.hn1h8j Can I do anything?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Can not I do something?
hvd.hn1h8j	Can this be the same man?
hvd.hn1h8j	Can you tell me anything else about Mr. Styles? ” The girl hesitated and then a flush mounted to her face. hvd.hn1h8j Can you tell me where he stays when in New York?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Clews? hvd.hn1h8j Did Miss Margaret answer? ”"Oi dunno- if she did, Oi did n't hear her. ” “ What else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Did Miss Margaret answer? ”Oi dunno- if she did, Oi did n't hear her. ” “ What else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Did Styles write that note, which was sup- posed to have been written by Mr. Langmore, saying she must obey or leave the house?
hvd.hn1h8j	Did he mean about the patent? ”No, I think it was something else.
hvd.hn1h8j	Did he tell you where he got the bill? ”No, he said he got stuck, that's all. ”"Do you know what he did with it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Did he tell you where he got the bill? ”No, he said he got stuck, that's all. ”"Do you know what he did with it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Did n't he come here? ”He came once.
hvd.hn1h8j	Did n't you ask me that before?.
hvd.hn1h8j	Did the man have anything besides the valise?
hvd.hn1h8j	Did you hear if Mrs. Bardon and her son were home all morning?
hvd.hn1h8j	Did you see anybody around the place when you went past?
hvd.hn1h8j	Did you see her throw the chloroform away?
hvd.hn1h8j	Did you see me with the shoes?
hvd.hn1h8j	Did your work as a secret service man bring you to this place?
hvd.hn1h8j	Do n't you know?
hvd.hn1h8j	Do n't you recognize me?
hvd.hn1h8j	Do you know what business this Styles had with Mr. Langmore? ”I do n't remember very well — but hold up, yes, I do.
hvd.hn1h8j	Do you think Mrs. Langmore would act in such a fashion?
hvd.hn1h8j	Do you think it possible that Mr. and Mrs. Langmore could have been smothered in that way?
hvd.hn1h8j	Eh? hvd.hn1h8j Evaporated?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Excuse me, but is this Mr. Granby? ” he asked in a quavering voice. hvd.hn1h8j Explain what?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Explain? hvd.hn1h8j Going to search him?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Got to have a real Englishman's drink, eh?
hvd.hn1h8j	Had you not better wait until the specialist arrives?" hvd.hn1h8j Has Miss Langmore had anything to say about her father? ” 118 THE WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE 119"She seems to be very sorry that he is dead."
hvd.hn1h8j	Has anything happened?
hvd.hn1h8j	Has he been here since the tragedy?
hvd.hn1h8j	Have the police any idea as to how the mur- derer got into the house and got out again? ” he asked. hvd.hn1h8j Have the safe makers opened the safe yet?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Have you been following me?
hvd.hn1h8j	Have you discovered anything unusual, Mrs. Morse, that had to do with this tragedy? ”Well, I do n't know.
hvd.hn1h8j	Have you heard anything of the Langmore estate?
hvd.hn1h8j	Have you learned anything new? ”A little but not a great deal.
hvd.hn1h8j	Have you learned anything unusual?
hvd.hn1h8j	He is the young man who came here and engaged you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1h8j	He was a putty heavy fellow and he was dressed in a light gray suit and wore a soft hat to match. ”Was the valise a light or a dark one?"
hvd.hn1h8j	He was at the breakfast table, but afther that he wint to the bank. ”Did you hear anything more?"
hvd.hn1h8j	How about this bit of wrapping paper?
hvd.hn1h8j	How are the sketches getting along? hvd.hn1h8j How can I play any game on you, tied up in this fashion?
hvd.hn1h8j	How could I help it?
hvd.hn1h8j	How did he take your refusal? ”. hvd.hn1h8j How did the man look?"
hvd.hn1h8j	How did they happen to use that strange powder?
hvd.hn1h8j	How did you get here- run away?
hvd.hn1h8j	How did you get out of the house?
hvd.hn1h8j	How did you learn all that? ” cried the young commercial traveler in astonishment. hvd.hn1h8j How do you know?
hvd.hn1h8j	How had he been killed?
hvd.hn1h8j	How is he to be killed?
hvd.hn1h8j	How long have you been connected with the secret service?
hvd.hn1h8j	How much?
hvd.hn1h8j	How old is Miss Langmore?
hvd.hn1h8j	How shall I go?
hvd.hn1h8j	How? hvd.hn1h8j I did. ”"Then why did n't you look inside?
hvd.hn1h8j	I did? hvd.hn1h8j I want to know why you followed me up?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I want to talk to you, that's all. ”Really?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I wonder if I can swim out to the stream?
hvd.hn1h8j	I wonder what Barry Langmore would say to this, if he was alive?
hvd.hn1h8j	I — that is“ Who was that man?
hvd.hn1h8j	I've got to get back to New York. ” “ How soon? ” “ Just as soon as possible. ” “ Do you want to take the letter along?
hvd.hn1h8j	I've got to get back to New York. ” “ How soon? ” “ Just as soon as possible. ” “ Do you want to take the letter along?
hvd.hn1h8j	I- er — I did. ”What did you see?
hvd.hn1h8j	I-1-may I speak?
hvd.hn1h8j	If I answer that question, will you become my wife?
hvd.hn1h8j	If he is away- out of town — in Europe, or on some case which he can not leave, what am I to do? ” he murmured. hvd.hn1h8j If the man was innocent of all wrong- doing why did n't he turn those bills over to the authorities?
hvd.hn1h8j	If you do n't mind telling, what is your busi- ness down here, Matlock Styles? ” asked Adam Adams. hvd.hn1h8j If you go back, do you know what they will do?
hvd.hn1h8j	In there? hvd.hn1h8j Is Mr. Adams in? ” he asked, as the young lady arose to meet him.
hvd.hn1h8j	Is any other house near by? ”The Harrison mansion, but it is locked up, as the family is in Europe."
hvd.hn1h8j	Is anybody else on the case?.
hvd.hn1h8j	Is anybody here?
hvd.hn1h8j	Is it necessary that I tell you why? ” he stammered. hvd.hn1h8j Is it yours?".
hvd.hn1h8j	Is that all?
hvd.hn1h8j	Is that so? hvd.hn1h8j Is that so?
hvd.hn1h8j	Is that the Bardon house yonder?
hvd.hn1h8j	Is this a game?
hvd.hn1h8j	Is your man around here? ” he asked, as the pair met in the shadow of some bushes. hvd.hn1h8j Is — is it over?"
hvd.hn1h8j	It would have killed you if you had placed it to your mouth or nose? ”. hvd.hn1h8j Let me ask, was the daughter on good terms with her father? ” “ Yes, excepting on one point.
hvd.hn1h8j	Light. ”Could you see anything else? ”"No."
hvd.hn1h8j	Margaret gone? hvd.hn1h8j Matlock Styles is your master, is he?".
hvd.hn1h8j	Mighty pale, ai n't she?
hvd.hn1h8j	Mr. Coroner,began Raymond, rising,"is it legally necessary that she answer?
hvd.hn1h8j	Mrs. Gaspard, did Mr. Pickerell say he thought Mr. Langmore had written this note? ” questioned the coroner. hvd.hn1h8j Nobody knew the combination but Mr. Lang- more?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Nobody? ” Margaret began to pace the floor. hvd.hn1h8j Not that I remember. ” “ You did n't see him after that?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Not the slightest doubt of it. ” “ May I ask where you got the stuff?
hvd.hn1h8j	Nothing in the shape of any foreign com- pound? hvd.hn1h8j Oh! ”"What I would like to know is, What made you sick?
hvd.hn1h8j	Oh, Mr. Adams, what does this mean? ”I do n't know — yet.
hvd.hn1h8j	Oh, Uncle Adam, what is it?
hvd.hn1h8j	Oh, certainly; but where did it come from? hvd.hn1h8j Oh, merciful Heaven?
hvd.hn1h8j	One of those bills you had tried to pass at a theatre, eh? ”Hal You know that, too!
hvd.hn1h8j	Possibly, yes, although I did not see any traces. ” “ Would there have been traces?.
hvd.hn1h8j	Raymond Case, eh? hvd.hn1h8j See anything strange around the Langmore house- any tracks or anything like that?"
hvd.hn1h8j	She will — will come around all right?
hvd.hn1h8j	So far as you are aware, Mr. Case, did Mr. Langmore have any personal enemies?
hvd.hn1h8j	So you are working for Miss Langmore?
hvd.hn1h8j	Something was used to stupefy them, and so much was used that it killed them. ”In that case the murder might have been unin- tentional?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Thanks, but do you think I want to die? ” queried the detective, and gave a laugh. hvd.hn1h8j That's sure? ” asked another of the men.
hvd.hn1h8j	The Knoxbury road? hvd.hn1h8j The inquest?
hvd.hn1h8j	The safe was closed at the time of the tragedy? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1h8j	Then Miss Margaret was the only child home?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then a person might have sneaked in by the back way?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then he is suspected of these murders?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then what was it?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then why did yez bring me here, I dunno? hvd.hn1h8j Then why do n't you tell me, Letty?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you arrived at the house about as soon as the police?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you know all about using chloroform?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you know the real murderer?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you say the mortgages have not been paid?
hvd.hn1h8j	They say, Miss Langmore, that you were not on good terms with your stepmother. ” “ Who says so? ”It is an- ahem!
hvd.hn1h8j	To New York- to nose around. ” “ Want to locate the counterfeits? ”I want to see if they have been reported.
hvd.hn1h8j	To see me?
hvd.hn1h8j	Tom was here the day before the tragedy?
hvd.hn1h8j	Was Mr. Langmore present at this quarrel? ” asked the coroner, after another pause. hvd.hn1h8j Was any of it sold or used in the vicinity of Sidham?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Was anything out of order, as if the assassin had been scared off while hunting around for something to steal? ”I did not see anything.
hvd.hn1h8j	Was it the same man? ”. hvd.hn1h8j Was n't this Ostrello afraid to handle the stuff?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Was that you? ” exclaimed Matlock Styles. hvd.hn1h8j Was the patent matter settled up?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Watkins? hvd.hn1h8j We?
hvd.hn1h8j	Well, now you are in our power, what have you to say for yourself?
hvd.hn1h8j	Well, to drop him, do you know a man named John Watkins, of Bryport?
hvd.hn1h8j	Well, what is your idea of this crime? ” “ I have n't any. hvd.hn1h8j Well?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Were the pair strangled, smothered, poi- soned?
hvd.hn1h8j	What are you going to do next?
hvd.hn1h8j	What did you see me do?
hvd.hn1h8j	What do you know about these counterfeits? hvd.hn1h8j What do you think? ” questioned the young man pleadingly.
hvd.hn1h8j	What do you want me to do?
hvd.hn1h8j	What else is there to think? hvd.hn1h8j What else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What happened next?
hvd.hn1h8j	What is it, Letty? hvd.hn1h8j What is it, boy? ” she heard a heavy voice ask.
hvd.hn1h8j	What is it, dear?
hvd.hn1h8j	What is it?
hvd.hn1h8j	What is it?
hvd.hn1h8j	What kind of bills were they, Uncle Adam? ”. hvd.hn1h8j What kind of rings are they?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What made you think that?
hvd.hn1h8j	What next? ”Margaret Langmore was so horrified she ran from the room screaming wildly.
hvd.hn1h8j	What time was this, as near as you can re- member?
hvd.hn1h8j	What was said? hvd.hn1h8j What's that? ” he questioned.
hvd.hn1h8j	What's the cause of the trouble? ” “ Those queers in the safe. ”Then the authorities got them? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	What's the cause of the trouble? ” “ Those queers in the safe. ”Then the authorities got them? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	What's the row out there?
hvd.hn1h8j	What?
hvd.hn1h8j	When did the coroner say the examination was to be continued?
hvd.hn1h8j	When the police arrived what did they find of importance?
hvd.hn1h8j	When was this?
hvd.hn1h8j	Where am I? ” asked Margaret feebly. hvd.hn1h8j Where am I?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where are the bodies? ” he asked, as he con- tinued his examination of the room. hvd.hn1h8j Where are you going now?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where are you going tomorrow.?
hvd.hn1h8j	Where are you stopping, Mr. Watkins, in case I wish to communicate with you again?.
hvd.hn1h8j	Where have you kept yourself? hvd.hn1h8j Where is he now?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where is she? hvd.hn1h8j Where is the nerve he used to have?
hvd.hn1h8j	Where was Mrs. Langmore at this time?
hvd.hn1h8j	Where were you from ten o'clock to twelve of the morning of the tragedy?
hvd.hn1h8j	While you were in the house, did you leave the kitchen?
hvd.hn1h8j	Who are you?
hvd.hn1h8j	Who was that man who just came in? ”. hvd.hn1h8j Who was the man?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Who was the stranger? ” asked Coroner Busby. hvd.hn1h8j Who will speak for you? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1h8j	Why?
hvd.hn1h8j	Will they make me go to the funerals?
hvd.hn1h8j	Wo n't you explain?.
hvd.hn1h8j	Wo n't you listen to reason?
hvd.hn1h8j	Wonder if he manages it on twelve hundred a year?
hvd.hn1h8j	Working on this Langmore affair?
hvd.hn1h8j	Worse?
hvd.hn1h8j	Would you like a cup of tea, or a bit of toast? hvd.hn1h8j You are going away, Mr. Adams? ” said Ray- mond Case, who chanced to see him departing.
hvd.hn1h8j	You are the gentleman that wishes to see me?
hvd.hn1h8j	You came right from the brook to my place?
hvd.hn1h8j	You can prove that you were at Stony Hill from ten to twelve that morning? ”. hvd.hn1h8j You do n't?"
hvd.hn1h8j	You got him out of the way?
hvd.hn1h8j	You had to go out to get some fresh air?
hvd.hn1h8j	You have a high regard for the young lady — you are close friends? ”More.
hvd.hn1h8j	You have had her properly guarded?
hvd.hn1h8j	You have the proofs?
hvd.hn1h8j	You let him go through the house?.
hvd.hn1h8j	You mean Tom Ostrello and that young lady from your office?
hvd.hn1h8j	You mean that?
hvd.hn1h8j	You mean the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Barry Langmore at Beechwood Hill?
hvd.hn1h8j	You think he opened the safe?
hvd.hn1h8j	You think it must have evaporated?
hvd.hn1h8j	You want me to look out for counter- feits? ”Exactly."
hvd.hn1h8j	You were dressed in a gray suit and wore a slouch hat, and you entered by the back way?
hvd.hn1h8j	You wish me to tell all I know?
hvd.hn1h8j	You wo n't talk then?
hvd.hn1h8j	You — you know something?
hvd.hn1h8j	You'll not answer?

hvd.hn1h8j	But why — “ Will you kindly see if all of your shoes are there?"
hvd.hn1h8j	But, Mr. Adams, are you not hungry, and wo n't you have a lunch?"

hvd.hn1h8j	Could the Englishman be honest in what he said, or was he playing a deep game?
hvd.hn1h8j	Could the Englishman really mean what he said?

hvd.hn1h8j	Did he say what made him sick?"

hvd.hn1h8j	How is Miss Langmore this morning? ” Raymond drew a long sigh.
hvd.hn1h8j	How long?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I am not sure of the right one yet. ”"Do you think those counterfeits had anything to do with the crime?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I believe you think the young lady innocent of the crime of which she is accused?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I have sent mes- sages to half a dozen places, but so far have re- ceived no reply. ”"He is a commercial traveler like yourself?".

hvd.hn1h8j	I love her and we are engaged to be married. ” “ Did Mr. Langmore know of his daughter's engagement? ” “ He did, and he approved of it."

hvd.hn1h8j	I tried it once but both of them gave me such a suspicious look I had to move on. ” “ That's all?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I was not near the Langmore house when the murders were committed. ”"You can prove that?"
hvd.hn1h8j	I wonder how it feels to be hung or electrocuted? ” She gave a hollow, bitter laugh.
hvd.hn1h8j	I wonder what the mortgages were doing in with those bills?".
hvd.hn1h8j	I'm so dog tired I ca n't walk much further either. ”"Been taking a constitutional?"

hvd.hn1h8j	TERY DOOMED TO DIE 253 out?
hvd.hn1h8j	THE MAN AT THE BROOK 53 “ And you will aid me?
hvd.hn1h8j	That does n't look much as if he were guilty, does it?".
hvd.hn1h8j	That's easy enough, is n't it? ”"It will be, if you tell me everything.
hvd.hn1h8j	That's rather odd; is n't it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	The government must pay him more than most folks imagine. ”"Is Tim goin'to the Rosebud's picnic?"
hvd.hn1h8j	The question was, What?
hvd.hn1h8j	The rest of the gang, four of them, got from five to twelve years each. ”"Are you a government detective? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	The safe has not yet been opened?"
hvd.hn1h8j	The ten- sion becomes so great — something snaps and then?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then I came straight home. ”"Which way did you go to get to Hopgood's?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Then he got up, put on his hat, and I lost sight of him behind the bushes. ” “ How did the man look? ”"Wait up, that ai n't all.
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you have been following me up?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you know him, Uncle Adam?
hvd.hn1h8j	Then you quarreled also? ” “ Oh, no, sur, Oi knew me place, so Oi did, an'did me wurruk an'said nothin'.
hvd.hn1h8j	There were a good many footprints. ”"Running this way? ”"Running every way, I thought.
hvd.hn1h8j	They will surely hang you?"
hvd.hn1h8j	This being so, the question at once arose, what had brought the pair together?
hvd.hn1h8j	Those who com- mitted it made it look as simple as possible for a purpose. ” “ And you are on the track? ”"I am on several tracks.
hvd.hn1h8j	To you?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Was I on trial, or what?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Was it merely that a crime had been com- mitted — something you were not accustomed to? ”"No, it was not, Mr. Adams.
hvd.hn1h8j	Was it possible that the son of the woman who had been murdered was guilty of the double tragedy?
hvd.hn1h8j	Was she not Mrs. Langmore's daugh- ter also? ”"No.
hvd.hn1h8j	Was there a safe in the house?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Was there nothing else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Was you to the inquest?"
hvd.hn1h8j	We are going to get you well, and we are going to prove your innocence to the world. ”"My innocence?
hvd.hn1h8j	We must get her to some quiet spot. ” “ Shall we take her home?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Well, I'll square things with him for that. ” RAISING THE CURTAIN 291"He would n't care if you had n't made some sort of a botch""I?
hvd.hn1h8j	Wh — who are you? ” he faltered.
hvd.hn1h8j	What I want to know is: What are we to do?
hvd.hn1h8j	What are you doing here? ” de- manded the officer.
hvd.hn1h8j	What could be behind that barrier?
hvd.hn1h8j	What did you say to him?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What do you wish me to do? ”"Find the murderer. ” “ That may not be easy.
hvd.hn1h8j	What does her stepbrother say about it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What does it mean?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What fer?
hvd.hn1h8j	What have I done?
hvd.hn1h8j	What have you to say on that point?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What if the shock should prove so severe that Margaret would never get over it?
hvd.hn1h8j	What kind of a man was this Barry Langmore?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What more do you want? ” “ Yes, but you have n't got them yet, blast the luck!
hvd.hn1h8j	What of Watkins?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What of the doors? ” “ The front door and that to the side piazza were locked.
hvd.hn1h8j	What of the other two? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	What struck me?
hvd.hn1h8j	What was it? ” She stared vacantly at him.
hvd.hn1h8j	What was it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What were you doing with them?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What's got into the confounded com- bination?"
hvd.hn1h8j	What's the young man's name, Letty?".
hvd.hn1h8j	What's up?"
hvd.hn1h8j	When did Matlock Styles last call on your father?"
hvd.hn1h8j	When did the girl and her stepmother quarrel last?
hvd.hn1h8j	When did the tragedy occur? ”"At some time between eleven and twelve in the morning.
hvd.hn1h8j	When did they quarrel last?"
hvd.hn1h8j	When you got to this spot did you happen to look over to the Langmore house? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	Where am I?
hvd.hn1h8j	Where can I get the stuff?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where did you find it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where is Paul? ” “ Gone to town. ” “ And Fred?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where is Paul? ” “ Gone to town. ” “ And Fred?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Where is she? ” cried the man, and Tom Ostrello recognized Raymond Case.
hvd.hn1h8j	Where?".
hvd.hn1h8j	Where?".
hvd.hn1h8j	Who is the party?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Who?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Why are you all staring at me in this manner?
hvd.hn1h8j	Why did you desert me?
hvd.hn1h8j	Why should I?
hvd.hn1h8j	Why — why should anybody imagine I was guilty?
hvd.hn1h8j	Will I see you to- morrow?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Will they give me a trial? ” He started in spite of himself.
hvd.hn1h8j	Will you come along?"
hvd.hn1h8j	Will you have one? ” And he presented a case full of choice Havana cigars.
hvd.hn1h8j	Yes, they proved it, and I must- must — Will they hang me or electrocute me?
hvd.hn1h8j	You go and poison two people and then""Who said I did the poisoning?"
hvd.hn1h8j	You know Miss Bernard, who works for me here?"
hvd.hn1h8j	You know how the department is about such things? ”"You are safe with me."
hvd.hn1h8j	You mean if a person was boxed up with it, like one killed by gas? ”"No, not at all.
hvd.hn1h8j	You mean you were doing the house- work, eh? ” “ Yis, sur."
hvd.hn1h8j	You say Miss Langmore seems to be resting easier?"
hvd.hn1h8j	You say the body was lying right here?"
hvd.hn1h8j	You will show me the road? ”"Do n't be in a hurry to go.
hvd.hn1h8j	You wo n't trust a fellow, and yet you expect — “ Never mind, Pink, do n't get on your ear so quick""Ai n't I got a right to get on my ear?

hvd.hn1h8j	“ A boy and a girl on the other side of the river ran away as if the Old Nick were after them. ”"Anything else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ All in, are you?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And absolutely nothing was stolen?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And before that?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And he wants you to go to the theatre with him- now?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And how had she died?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And then?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And they think — they suspect — that that drug was used?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And when did you take it off?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And you also quarreled with your father?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And you are certain about the suit being a light gray one and the soft hat matched it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And you escaped?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And you found no trace of any poison, or any- thing of that sort?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ And you — you are here to arrest me? ”"Exactly.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Are you better, Margaret? ” he asked softly.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Are you going to keep me blindfolded?''
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Are you related to the Langmores in any way?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ At full length, they say, face downward, and with the fists clenched. ” “ Was that window open?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ But what does it mean? ”"It means that I have found you out.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ But you will come? ”"Yes, I will come. ”"At once?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ But you will come? ”"Yes, I will come. ”"At once?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ But you will try to clear him, if you can, wo n't you? ”"I am going to try to find the guilty party."
hvd.hn1h8j	“ By the way, were you at the inquest? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Came to the farm?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Can I do anything?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Can they be shoes he has in his hands? ” mused the detective.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Chief, will you call a policeman?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Clearing up the murder mystery? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Come awake, have ye, miss? ” said she.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Come, will you accept, Margaret?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Could you supply me with a bite?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Did Styles do that job?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Did n't Styles tell all of us?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Did they have any other business relations?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Did you come across the stream?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Did you notice anything unusual? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Did you wake her up?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Do n't you remember the farmer who asked you for a chew of terbacker? ”.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Do you know anything of that drug, Letty?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Do you know what evidence he possesses? ”"Not exactly.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Do you know where the Vanderslip Building is? ” he questioned abruptly.

hvd.hn1h8j	“ Do you smell it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Do you think you can make any money out of the patent? ”"Money?

hvd.hn1h8j	“ Does it?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Does n't that look like it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ For how long?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Foreigner, eh? ”"No, he is American- born- the son of Mrs.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?"

hvd.hn1h8j	“ Has anybody else been here? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Have you carried any of it lately?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ He was rich? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Hi, Queen, what's the matter? ” “ Call off your dogs, unless you want me to shoot them! ” exclaimed Adam Adams.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How can you do that? ” “ Never mind how it can be done.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How could he pen that if he was guilty him- self?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How do you know that?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How is the bloody business going? ” asked Matlock Styles presently.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How long did you remain down at the barn? ” “ Till Miss Margaret came scr'amin'from the house.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How long have I been here? ”"Only four hours.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How long will that take? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.hn1h8j	“ How?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Humph, sick, eh?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ I made a mistake?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ I mean any outsiders. ”"A good many folks from the village. ”"Anybody else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ I suspect no one, sir. ”"Have you any idea why this awful deed was committed?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ I think her innocent myself. ”"Do you think Tom is guilty?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ I wonder who is trying to scare folks away from the old mill?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ I'm in this game to a finish, see?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Is n't it all right, Uncle Adam?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ It will all come out right, I feel certain of it. ”"Right?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Leave you? ” “ Yes!
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Look here, did he tell you all this, or is this some game?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Margaret, dearest, you must try to keep IS THIS MADNESS?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ May I ask if you are now at liberty?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Me?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Not a soul. ” “ What were you doing around there?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Now, Miss Langmore,"he exclaimed, as he straightened up at the conclusion of her recital, “ whom do you suspect of this crime?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Now, Mrs. Morse, did you find anything else of value?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Now, has anybody got anything to say?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Now, then, what do you want to see me about?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Now, what have you got to say about Mat- lock? ” asked one of the men.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Now, what was it?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Oh, Mr. Adams, can you not do something for me?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Oh, how can I ever thank you enough?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Rather busy to- day, but what can I do for you?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ So soon?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ So you ran away, did you?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ So you ran away, eh?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Sure an'Oi was that. ” “ What were you doing? ” “ Phat was Oi doin'?

hvd.hn1h8j	“ That the tragedy occurred?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ The disappearance of John Darr — the case all New York is talking about?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ The druggist told me. ” “ Did it take all you had for the birds?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Then a five dollar bill means something to you, eh? ” The shiftless man opened his eyes widely.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Then you admit that you did quarrel?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Then you admit you lied to me, do you?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Then you will take the case, Mr. Adams?".
hvd.hn1h8j	“ This is Mr. Cephas Carboy? ” “ Cephas Carboy's my name — ain't much of a nister to it,"and the man grinned feebly.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Was it for that bit of paper or for the something that he secured in his mother's room?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Was n't that all right?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Well? ”"A man just left by the back door and ran away.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Well? ”"I do n't think Margaret is guilty.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ Wha- what will they do next?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What about the other son- Dick?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What about the word from Buffalo?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What about?"

hvd.hn1h8j	“ What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What do you think the jury will do? ” At this direct question, the young man gave an inward groan.
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What do you want me to say?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What else?"
hvd.hn1h8j	“ What for, counterfeiting?"

hvd.hn3gtw	Is n't that good enough? ” “ Not nearly, ” she answered and rose to her feet.
hvd.hn3gtw	It is n't true. ” “ How do you know? ” was startled from him.
hvd.hn3gtw	It was quite a dexterous performance, and after all, what was against it?
hvd.hn3gtw	It would n't be"“ Safe? ” “ Practicable. ” “ You do n't trust me."

hvd.hn3gtw	No, but what was to be gained by letting Anthony Barraclough be kidnapped?

hvd.hn3gtw	Too early?
hvd.hn3gtw	Torrington?
hvd.hn3gtw	Understand?
hvd.hn3gtw	Was all sweetness gone out of the world?
hvd.hn3gtw	Was he fond of reading?
hvd.hn3gtw	Was it a fair price for breaking one's body against rocks, for shattering one's soul against man unkind?

hvd.hn3gtw	What does it mean? ” The sound of her cries brought the others hurrying into the room.
hvd.hn3gtw	What does it mean?"
hvd.hn3gtw	What if after all the others were right and it was indeed Barraclough they had kidnapped?
hvd.hn3gtw	What in blazes was the fellow doing?

hvd.hn3gtw	“ And what was he like? ” The answer clinched it.
hvd.hn3gtw	“ And why have you called upon me? ” Mr. Bolt faltered.
hvd.hn3gtw	“ And you had no message? ” Isabel shook her head.

hvd.hn1sli	And what did the otter say? ”. hvd.hn1sli Anything else on the trail? ” asked Evans.
hvd.hn1sli	But the motive? hvd.hn1sli Did n't you read in the newspapers about the ‘ Long Island Murder?
hvd.hn1sli	Did you strike his trail? ” asked Puttick. hvd.hn1sli Had Miss Virginny any jewelry on her?"
hvd.hn1sli	How can you be sure of all this?
hvd.hn1sli	I? hvd.hn1sli It may be a hoax. ” 288 LINDA PETERSHAM “ Now, James, what is the good of saying such a silly thing to me?
hvd.hn1sli	Joe, have you nothing to tell me? hvd.hn1sli Old Rizpah?

hvd.hn1sli	You were away, of course?

hvd.hn1sli	108 THE BLACK FOX SKIN “ Who is it suspects me? ”"Just Evans.
hvd.hn1sli	12 NOVEMBER JOE I hunted with him years ago when he lived on the Montmorency. ” “ Is that so? ” Her face relaxed a little.
hvd.hn1sli	123 NOVEMBER JOE was “ Will you write out an answer for me?"
hvd.hn1sli	139 NOVEMBER JOE 0 “ Did any birds pass over him after that? ” “ I thought so. ” “ And he did not fire at them? ” “ No."

hvd.hn1sli	160 THE CASE OF MISS VIRGINIA PLANX “ When did it happen? ” “ Some time before five o'clock yesterday evening.
hvd.hn1sli	204 THE ROBBERY “ What do you make of it? ” he said at last.

hvd.hn1sli	265 MYSTERY OF FLETCHER BUCKMAN “ Then why did n't you see him? ” “ Because I could n't.
hvd.hn1sli	278 MYSTERY OF FLETCHER BUCKMAN “ But how did you know he'd want to post that letter, and post it at Silent Water?
hvd.hn1sli	72 THE SEVEN LUMBER- JACKS What on earth was the game that he was play- ing?
hvd.hn1sli	94 THE BLACK FOX SKIN “ Any one but me been using tobacco in here lately? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sli	? ” “ Yes,"put in Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	A woman? ” “ S.
hvd.hn1sli	And equally, of course, you agree with me? ” I hesitated.
hvd.hn1sli	And if he was in trouble, what book would he want to read?
hvd.hn1sli	And no one else went down to the strong- room? ” “ Only Atterson.
hvd.hn1sli	And that no one came at all? ” “ I'm pretty sure of it.
hvd.hn1sli	And the words I lit on were:'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron.?
hvd.hn1sli	And then was n't it queer the fella should have come on him there?
hvd.hn1sli	And what are your suspicions?
hvd.hn1sli	And why does he want to get his bullet?
hvd.hn1sli	And why should he want to read in the middle of the night if he was not in trouble?
hvd.hn1sli	Anything else to ask him? ” 235 NOVEMBER JOE “ Yes.
hvd.hn1sli	Are you there, Sally? ” The door opened an inch or two.
hvd.hn1sli	Atter- son?
hvd.hn1sli	Besides, I ai n't done nothing for him. ” “ What about saving his daughter's life? ”"Huh!
hvd.hn1sli	But I have always noticed how won- 83 NOVEMBER JOE derful scared the city makes a man o'a drop o'clean rain- water. ” “ Anything else? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	But how can I?
hvd.hn1sli	But how did you know it was in the middle of the night? ” “ Did you notice where he cut his candlestick? ” “ No,"said I.
hvd.hn1sli	But how did you know it was in the middle of the night? ” “ Did you notice where he cut his candlestick? ” “ No,"said I.
hvd.hn1sli	But how'll ye explain these? ” He flung open the bundle of skins he carried.
hvd.hn1sli	But if it was n't Knowles, who in creation was it? ” “ It was a man twenty years younger than Knowles, very active and strong.
hvd.hn1sli	But the trouble is where has he cached the bank's property?"
hvd.hn1sli	But you have heard of Kalmacks?"
hvd.hn1sli	Chap's took to the water,"said the game warden, “ but he'll have to do more than that to shake me off. ” “ Chap made this too?"
hvd.hn1sli	Close? ” exclaimed November.
hvd.hn1sli	Dark old coat and ragged pair of trousers and moccasins. ” “ What colour was his socks? ” “ Could n't see.
hvd.hn1sli	Did n't you notice how faint it was? ” “ But when she got on shore — how did she hide her trail then “ It's not a new trick.
hvd.hn1sli	Did n't your father know that?
hvd.hn1sli	Did you want him, November? ” “ Yes, but it can wait.
hvd.hn1sli	Do n't they read the newspaper in Lendeville?
hvd.hn1sli	Do n't you remember the kettle had nothing in it? ” I would have spoken, but November held up his hand.
hvd.hn1sli	Do you really think Val Black is the guilty man? ” November Joe looked up with his quick, sud- den smile.
hvd.hn1sli	Do you think he's got the bills and papers hid about here after all? ” “ No, ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	East?"
hvd.hn1sli	Ed( he's the best tracker of my two guides) got away at dawn to see if he could n't puzzle out the trail. ” “ Did he?"
hvd.hn1sli	For a good while only the murmur of their talking reached me, then a voice was raised, and I caught some words distinctly:'You wo n't put me back?
hvd.hn1sli	From that moment Atterson has vanished. ”"Did n't the police findout anything further? ” inquired Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	Harrison kill'um Prairie Chicken — my son. ” “ What does she mean?"
hvd.hn1sli	Harrison, too, was banging away. ” “ Could you see him? ” “ No, the reeds are too high, but more than once I saw the ducks he shot fall.
hvd.hn1sli	Harrison? ” “ Yes. ” “ I'm terrible sorry to hear that.
hvd.hn1sli	Has 70 THE SEVEN LUMBER- JACKS he owned up? ” he nodded at Close.
hvd.hn1sli	Have n't Mrs. Rone and Black always been on good terms? ” I per- sisted.
hvd.hn1sli	Have you any feeling as to who could have done this? ” asked Joe, after a short silence.
hvd.hn1sli	Have you found out everything?"
hvd.hn1sli	He found my uncle dead in his screen. ” “ And what brought Mr. Galt's name into it? ” She hesitated for a second.
hvd.hn1sli	He stood quite still for a moment as if dazed, then he said in a strangled voice:- “ Got me, have you?
hvd.hn1sli	He was a boy then. ” “ What did you think of him? ” “ I had n't much opportunity of judging.
hvd.hn1sli	He would n't fall soft off the cars, you bet. ” “ But you said it was his right arm? ” “ Look at the way he hacked the spruce!
hvd.hn1sli	He's got a fine set o ’ horns, more'n fifty- six inches in the spread. ” “ How can you tell that?
hvd.hn1sli	He's wearing moccasins, is n't he?"
hvd.hn1sli	How can you know? ”"I'll tell you when I've got those bank bills back.
hvd.hn1sli	How could you know he was dead? ”"Heard the bullet strike and saw the hat go backwards; a man do n't never fall over back- wards when he's shamming.
hvd.hn1sli	How did the rob- ber know that Dan Michaels was worth holding up?
hvd.hn1sli	How did you know that? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	How do you know all this? ” growled Planx.
hvd.hn1sli	How long ago was that paper writ- ten? ” I looked again at the letter.
hvd.hn1sli	How long has he been here on this island?"
hvd.hn1sli	How should I? ” 215 NOVEMBER JOE Joe shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn1sli	How's that for track- ing?"
hvd.hn1sli	How's that? ” “ My daughter was murdered yesterday. ” The words made me gasp, and not me only.
hvd.hn1sli	How's that?"
hvd.hn1sli	How?"
hvd.hn1sli	I come back and slep'here. ” “ Was you alone? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then you ca n't prove no alibi. ” Joe paused.
hvd.hn1sli	I got back to find the foxes all killed and my hired man gone — disappeared. ” “ Who was he?"
hvd.hn1sli	I guess it's liable to be your Aleut Sam marooned over there. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1sli	I only kep'it, pretendin'it 334 CHAPTER XVI THOUC THE CITY OR THE WOODS?
hvd.hn1sli	I persuade him?
hvd.hn1sli	I relied on that. ” “ But how can I help? ” “ I will tell you.
hvd.hn1sli	I see what you're thinking — that he killed the foxes, and I'd have thought that myself, only I know he did n't. ” “ How's that?"
hvd.hn1sli	I suppose I can get a fast engine at Seven Springs and go back down the line? ” “ Sure, ” said Steve.
hvd.hn1sli	I tried, but the door of his car was locked. ” “ Locked? ” cried Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	I understand that November Joe has entered into some sort of contract with the Provincial Police. ” “ With the police?"
hvd.hn1sli	I want you to- day. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hn1sli	I'm in this case for the bank. ”"I? ” she exclaimed violently.
hvd.hn1sli	I'm off. ” “ Where are you going? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	I've got to find Miss Virginny sure. ” “ You ca n't track her because of that threat in the letter to Planx?"
hvd.hn1sli	If they have, you're such a plumb- sure trail- reader, you'll know, wo n't you? ” Carter retorted grimly.
hvd.hn1sli	Indeed, I doubt if he will ever be much good in the woods again. ” “ But what if I can recommend you a new man?"
hvd.hn1sli	Is it possible my girl is alive? ”"She is, sure!
hvd.hn1sli	Is n't she your daughter?
hvd.hn1sli	Is n't that right? ” “ Looks that way, ” admitted Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	It's Black Lake to- night, then? ” “ Yes, meet me by the alder swamp that's west of Wilshere's place, ” said Planx.
hvd.hn1sli	It's pretty likely they did n't take them far, and they would n't want you nosing about for your live foxes. ” “ Is that it?"
hvd.hn1sli	Joe's wasting his time all right. ” “ How's that?"
hvd.hn1sli	Light weight because the logs was n't much drove into the ground, not tall since the marks of them was so close together. ” “ But the black hair?"
hvd.hn1sli	Lying in Mr. Stafford's bunk? ” Jurgensen raised startled eyes.
hvd.hn1sli	MYSTERY OF FLETCHER BUCKMAN man should delay the writing of the report to the last moment?
hvd.hn1sli	Miss Linda, will you please tell every one, even your father, that you have a mighty painful head and that's why you're staying in?"
hvd.hn1sli	My uncle was killed with number six shot. ” 130 THE MURDER AT THE DUCK CLUB “ Yes? ” “ And Ted is the only one who uses number six size.
hvd.hn1sli	Need I tell any more about her? ” During Joe's story Phèdre's colour had slowly died away.
hvd.hn1sli	Next point was, where did he hide it?
hvd.hn1sli	No sooner were we away than I put my eager question:"What do you think of it? ” Joe shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn1sli	Or Phil Bitshiem... or than that, Italian Count with his pedi- gree from Noah in his pocket?
hvd.hn1sli	Or that he was going off on the spree?
hvd.hn1sli	Please put that, sir, and then'arriving on 3.38,'and sign. ” “ How shall I sign it? ” said I.
hvd.hn1sli	Quaritch?"
hvd.hn1sli	Say, Mr. Quaritch, have you a fill of that light baccy o’yours?
hvd.hn1sli	See any moose? ” “ Nary one — nothing but red deer. ” “ Good- night. ” “ So long."
hvd.hn1sli	See? ” “ Ocourse, ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	So I walked up the mudbank and shouted again. ” “ From the top of the bank?
hvd.hn1sli	THE CITY OR THE Woods?
hvd.hn1sli	Tell me, where is she going to find a man like Joe?
hvd.hn1sli	That is, unless —"“ Aye, unless?"
hvd.hn1sli	That leaves just Miller and Highamson- and it were n’t Miller. ” “ You're sure of that? ” “ Stark certain.
hvd.hn1sli	That was queer, was n't it?
hvd.hn1sli	That was right, Mr. Quaritch? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	The manager cleared his throat and began with a question:-"Have you ever seen Atterson? ”"No."
hvd.hn1sli	The millionaire you went into the woods with to locate timber last year? ” “ The identical man. ” As we approached, Joe hailed him.
hvd.hn1sli	The minute he offered to go, I knew I had him. ” “ And you still think Chris robbed Dan? ” “ I know it.
hvd.hn1sli	The question for you is, do you want your daughter, or do you not? ” The next incident was as swift as it was un- expected.
hvd.hn1sli	The robbery was done between two and three o'clock last night. ” “ What makes you say that?"
hvd.hn1sli	Then I knew he did n't carry no English rifle. ” “ How did you know? ” asked Sally.
hvd.hn1sli	Then who did it? ” cried the con- ductor.
hvd.hn1sli	There he is coming over the hill. ” “ I wonder if your Sam is a fighter? ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	There's a good few puzzles to life that wants facing one time or another, I s'pose. ” “ Which puzzle is it that you are facing now? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1sli	They been frightening him? ” Mrs. Rone looked oddly at November.
hvd.hn1sli	They lead down by the hill over there. ” “ I suppose you think this blood's got some- thing to do with the murder? ” sneered Carter.
hvd.hn1sli	Val's a good man, but —"“ But what? ” said I absently.
hvd.hn1sli	Vot then? ” jeered Jurgensen.
hvd.hn1sli	Was there any particular reason why you chose to go to Senlis Lake? ”"Sure.
hvd.hn1sli	Well, I guess a woman's better married anyway. ” “ How about a man, Joe? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	Well, you saw those stones I showed you?
hvd.hn1sli	What are you going to do first? ” “ I must examine the car.
hvd.hn1sli	What can that circumventin'mean?
hvd.hn1sli	What did he want a bit of spruce that length for?
hvd.hn1sli	What do the horns of that fellow with the big bell, which you have hanging in your office, measure? ” “ Fifty- nine inches."
hvd.hn1sli	What do you mean? ” “ Huh!
hvd.hn1sli	What do you say about him?"
hvd.hn1sli	What do you say to it that I've been fooling you all the time?
hvd.hn1sli	What for? ” 269 NOVEMBER JOE “ For his revolver.
hvd.hn1sli	What made them? ” “ The nails in the boots.
hvd.hn1sli	What next? ” “ Why, he held them up.
hvd.hn1sli	What of that?"
hvd.hn1sli	What reason have you...?"
hvd.hn1sli	What then? ” “ He cut her nigh in pieces with his knife. ” Without more words Joe turned back into the woods and we went after him.
hvd.hn1sli	What'd he want to light a candle for but to read by?
hvd.hn1sli	What's in that bundle on his back?"
hvd.hn1sli	What's that?"
hvd.hn1sli	What's your notion? ” “ Ca n't say yet.
hvd.hn1sli	When I got to the Lake I went across to the camp where Bill Worke was fired at — you mind Miss Linda dropped a brooch there?
hvd.hn1sli	When did you begin to suspect him?"
hvd.hn1sli	When did you kill your moose? ” “ Tuesday's a week.
hvd.hn1sli	Where did he board us, anyway? ” “ Do n't know.
hvd.hn1sli	Where did you find it? ” “ On the floor by the table."
hvd.hn1sli	Where have you come from?
hvd.hn1sli	Where is Joe to be found? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	Where is he? ” “ Did n't I tell you?
hvd.hn1sli	Where is he? ” “ Did n't I tell you?
hvd.hn1sli	Where was you between six and seven last night?"
hvd.hn1sli	Where were you going?
hvd.hn1sli	Where you been? ” “ Right up on the headwaters."
hvd.hn1sli	Where you takin'him? ” “ To Lavette.
hvd.hn1sli	Where's my foxes? ” Jurgensen hesitated, but clearly there could be only one decision in the circumstances.
hvd.hn1sli	Where's the near- est post office on the line? ” “ At Silent Water."
hvd.hn1sli	Who has on this section?
hvd.hn1sli	Who'd a'thought it?"
hvd.hn1sli	Who'd stop after such success? ” “ I'd be inclined to agree with you, if it was n't for the fact that the men wo n't leave singly now.
hvd.hn1sli	Who's going? ”"I do n't mind if I go,"offered Chris.
hvd.hn1sli	Why are you so plumb sure Atterson done it? ” “ The notes and securities were there on Saturday morning."
hvd.hn1sli	Why did she do that?
hvd.hn1sli	Why did the thief take them?
hvd.hn1sli	Why have I been arrested?
hvd.hn1sli	Why?
hvd.hn1sli	Why? ” We all shook our heads.
hvd.hn1sli	Ye was beginning to believe ye could hear the muskrats sneezing! ” “ Is that so? ” inquired Joe gently.
hvd.hn1sli	Yes?
hvd.hn1sli	You can trail him easily enough? ” Joe shook his head.
hvd.hn1sli	You coming? ” “ Yes. ” Not much later I was following November's nimbly moving figure upon as hard a woods march as I ever care to try.
hvd.hn1sli	You have n't seen him?"
hvd.hn1sli	You mean lunching alone with me? ” “ Yes, it is an unexpected pleasure. ” “ Dear James!
hvd.hn1sli	You see, his plan had n't worked out according to rule — to my way of thinking. ” “ How so? ” “ I'll tell you all that later."
hvd.hn1sli	You will, wo n't you, Joe? ” “ I'll sure do my best. ” I saw her struggle for self- control; the way she got herself in hand was splendid.
hvd.hn1sli	You yourself noticed how the chap walked on his heels? ” 78 THE SEVEN LUMBER- JACKS “ Yes. ” “ That told me.
hvd.hn1sli	You'll come along, Nov? ” “ On my own condition — or I'll have no- thing to do with it? ” “ What's it?"
hvd.hn1sli	You'll come along, Nov? ” “ On my own condition — or I'll have no- thing to do with it? ” “ What's it?"
hvd.hn1sli	You'll come along, Nov? ” “ On my own condition — or I'll have no- thing to do with it? ” “ What's it?"
hvd.hn1sli	You've sure heard of her? ” “ No, who is she? ” “ I'll tell you, ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	You've sure heard of her? ” “ No, who is she? ” “ I'll tell you, ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	believe me? ” She wrung her hands, clenching her fingers together.
hvd.hn1sli	where's the old bitch? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ A watch and a necklace. ” “ What value? ” “ Seven or eight hundred dollars."
hvd.hn1sli	“ Ah, and what had he to say to that?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ And a good man in the woods, you say?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ And how could you tell that he was religious and spent the night in great trouble of mind? ” November paused in filling his pipe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ And now, did you hear anything after you went to bed?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ And the stones in the pack? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ And what about my promise to Calvey? ” he rejoined.
hvd.hn1sli	“ And what did you do after finding her hat? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ And what do you think? ” “ The evidence against Galt is about as strong as it need be, ” I said sorrowfully.
hvd.hn1sli	“ And who are you?
hvd.hn1sli	“ And you think some one done it for spite?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ And you? ” He put the question quite seriously, though I suspect not without some inward irony.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Ant if I say no? ” “ You wo n't.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Any fellow with his right arm in a sling been posting a letter here? ” inquired Joe of the postmaster.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Any luck, Ed?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Any one been round this side to- day? ” asked Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Appetite as good as usual?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Are you sure of it now?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Are you sure of this?
hvd.hn1sli	“ As soon as I saw that I knew it were n't Val. ” “ Why? ” asked Sally.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Be- fore the police come? ” “ Best so, ” replied November in his gentle manner.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Besides, what is there against my going? ” “ The danger. ” She thrust out her round resolute chin.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Blunt?
hvd.hn1sli	“ But how can you have found out all that? ” I said at last.
hvd.hn1sli	“ But how or why? ” November laughed.
hvd.hn1sli	“ But how? ” “ See, here's the way of it.
hvd.hn1sli	“ But why do you say he's not used to woods?
hvd.hn1sli	“ But why in creation should the chaps have taken the trouble to bring over red fox car- casses?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ But why should Sylvester have such a down on Val? ” Joe laughed.
hvd.hn1sli	“ But why should you tell me all this? ” “ Because I'm going to advise you to hand over the hundred thousand dollars you took from Atterson.
hvd.hn1sli	“ But you did not recognize me then?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ By himself? ” “ Yes, alone.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Can I see it?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Can you account for that, Tim Carter?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Care to see? ” He rose and went to the door.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Danny's rising three, ai n't he?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Did you know anything else about me?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Did you take any notice of that trail? ” in- quired Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do n't you remember Walter Calvey, No- vember? ” he said, holding out his hand.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do n't you think I'll be proud every hour I have to live that you was so good to me, Miss Linda?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do the boys up at C know you've come to me? ” he said.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do what?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do you believe he is telling the truth? ” “ That's the one thing that I do believe. ” I demurred.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do you dare to say that I had anything whatever to do with this robbery, that I have the hundred thousand dollars?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Do you know any of these men? ” “ All of them. ” “ How about the fellow who is on bad terms with"· November seized my arm.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Dragging?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Eight days. ” “ What ’s he been doing all the time?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ First?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Fitz come down with you? ” “ No; stayed on the line of traps.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Get up! ” And as Highamson rose to his feet, “ Whatever for did you do it? ” asked wer 41 NOVEMBER JOE November in his quiet voice.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Good enough, November? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Good?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Good? ” Sally's face flushed a soft crim- son.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Have n't you heard? ” “ Heard what? ” “ Where in the world were you last Septem- ber?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Have n't you heard? ” “ Heard what? ” “ Where in the world were you last Septem- ber?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Have n't you heard? ” “ Heard what? ” “ Where in the world were you last Septem- ber?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ He shot Rizpah. ” “ The old dog?
hvd.hn1sli	“ He told you he'd been eight days on this island, did n't he? ” Stafford nodded.
hvd.hn1sli	“ His hands... what like was his hands?...
hvd.hn1sli	“ How can we do any good, as you call it, at all?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ How can you tell that? ” November pointed to the ground at the far side of the fire.
hvd.hn1sli	“ How do you know he was not the murderer? ” “ He did n't get here till Lyon had been dead for hours.
hvd.hn1sli	“ How do you know? ” “ It's my business to know.
hvd.hn1sli	“ How long ago was the canoe here? ” “ At first light — maybe between three and four o'clock, ” replied Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ How many bottles of whiskey had you? ” said he.
hvd.hn1sli	“ How you know, then? ” Joe laughed.
hvd.hn1sli	“ I can find out any time. ” “ How?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ I can guarantee that you will not find it necessary to train November Joe. ”"November Joe? ” “ Yes, do you know him?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ I can guarantee that you will not find it necessary to train November Joe. ”"November Joe? ” “ Yes, do you know him?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ I may have said something of that sort. ” “ But what about the second time you saw Buckman? ” went on Steve.
hvd.hn1sli	“ I suppose you wo n't go? ” said I.
hvd.hn1sli	“ I was just going to look round, but perhaps you might care to answer me a few questions first? ” “ Ask me anything!
hvd.hn1sli	“ I'm inclined that way because Atterson had that letter posted by a con- con- what's the word? ” “ Confederate? ” “ You've got it.
hvd.hn1sli	“ I'm inclined that way because Atterson had that letter posted by a con- con- what's the word? ” “ Confederate? ” “ You've got it.
hvd.hn1sli	“ If he knew, do you think he'd ever take the money?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Incredible as it sounds, it is so. ” 309 NOVEMBER JOE “ But when was this? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Is he ill?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Is it you, Joe? ” November thrust his right hand with its deep scar across the back through the aperture.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Is n't Joe better than the Hipper dude?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Is that all I'm suspected of? ” “ That's all. ”"Then look out! ” With a shout of rage he made at Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Is that how you keep faith?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Is that so?
hvd.hn1sli	“ It was Mr. Hinx. ” “ Then what makes Carter so sure it was Mr. Galt done it? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hn1sli	“ Just now I need friends badly. ” 127 NOVEMBER JOE “ What is it, Miss Eileen? ” asked Joe, as she paused.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Just wandering around. ” “ Where has he been camped? ” Stafford raised his thumb over his shoulder.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Let him out?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ My directors wo n't want to pay you two dollars a day for nothing. ” “ Two dollars a day? ” said Joe in his gentle voice.
hvd.hn1sli	“ None. ” “ Sure?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Nothing about who brought it? ” “ No. ” November rose, lighted a lantern, and with- out a word stepped out into the darkness.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Now, Mr. Galt, I'm right sorry about all this, and glad that Miss Eileen sent for me. ” “ She sent for you? ” cried Galt.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Now, ” said Stafford, “ who is it has got my foxes?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Now,"asked he, “ what next? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Of what?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Only it was n't Buckman wrote that. ” “ Who else could it be? ” “ The man that hanged him. ” The conductor gave a snort of laughter.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Pretty clear evidence that, ai n't it?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Said he would n't leave the woods for a thousand. ” “ Well? ” “ They offered him the thousand. ” “ With what result? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Said he would n't leave the woods for a thousand. ” “ Well? ” “ They offered him the thousand. ” “ With what result? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Seen any one with a necker like that, Mrs. Rone? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Shall I say you'll go? ” “ By all means. ” A few seconds later I was at the'phone taking my instructions.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Simon, ” called the girl,"here's a man to see Phèdre. ” “ What's his business? ” growled a man's voice from the inner room.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Sleep much as usual? ” “ Perhaps not,"I admitted unwillingly.
hvd.hn1sli	“ So November is connected with police work now? ” Mrs. Harding answered me with another question.
hvd.hn1sli	“ So you are man enough not to wish to see me in trouble? ” November looked at her.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Stealin'pelts.... Sally's? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Struck your trail'way back, ” said he, “ and followed it up as quick as I could. ” “ Have you been to Harding's? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Suspect any one in par- ticular? ” “ I believe it may have been Trapper Simp- son.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Ted had. ” “ Well, who was on the other side of your uncle?
hvd.hn1sli	“ That so, Mr. Quaritch? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1sli	“ That so?
hvd.hn1sli	“ That you, Joe?
hvd.hn1sli	“ That's 167 NOVEMBER JOE their game, is it?
hvd.hn1sli	“ That's so, and I have another reason ag'in'it. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ That's so; but it was there till the murderer took it out. ” “ What did he want it for if he'd got Buck- man dead already? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ The darned skunk — ” he repeated, “ to rob her traps! ” “ Her?
hvd.hn1sli	“ The others? ” “ This dead fella's partners."
hvd.hn1sli	“ The tracks of the murderer. ” “ You wo n't find them. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ These blackguards must have come back in the night and put it there. ” “ What have they said in the paper? ” asked November.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Think not? ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ To be exact, you said:'Look out for your- self? ” ” interposed Steve, the conductor.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Todd did n't like it at all. ” “ Tom Todd had quite a reputation, had n't he?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Us? ” I cried.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Vot voxes? ” “ The blacks and silvers you stole. ” “ You are madt! ” “ Shut it! ” cried Stafford.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Vot you vant- your terms?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Was n't there?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Was they your boots, Mr. Close? ” “ Yes, ” roared Close.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, Harris, is it on or off? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, he is set on going back to Kalmacks. ” “ Kalmacks? ” Linda opened her blue eyes upon me.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, you know, if he had been telling lies, ” said Joe, “ he'd have made a better story of it, would n't he?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, ” I said, as he touched the end of a burning ember to his pipe, “ has this camp helped you? ” “ Some,"said November.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, ” I said, “ what next? ”"I'll take another look around. ” Joe leapt to his feet and went quickly over the ground.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, ” called the game warden, “ any luck? ” November walked up to us, and I waited for his answer with all the eagerness of a partisan.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well, ” she cried breathlessly, “ what have you done?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Well?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Were you not surprised at that? ” “ Not very.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What am I charged with? ” cried Black.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What are they? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What are you doing? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What are you going to do to- day? ” said I.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What are you looking for?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What d'you think of that?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do I say?
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you make of that? ” asked Evans again, pointing at the fluttering worsted, with a glance of suppressed triumph at Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you make of them? ” asked he, at last.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you mean? ” But Joe would say nothing more.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you mean? ” asked Stafford, turn- ing to Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you say now, Mr. Evans? ” in- quired Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you think of that?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What do you?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What for you kill old man Harrison? ” “ No, no!
hvd.hn1sli	“ What hour was it when she left?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What in the world is it?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What interest have I in this?
hvd.hn1sli	“ What is it? ” “ People mostly call me November Joe. ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What makes you say that? ” “ A habit of speaking the truth, my dear friend.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What time was it when Harrison fired the last shot that you remember? ”"It must have been about ten minutes past six."
hvd.hn1sli	“ What was he up to here, I wonder? ” said Polloks.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What's happened? ” gasped a voice.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What's in it? ” said I.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What's that you're saying? ” cried Steve.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What's the orders now, Mr. Planx? ” Planx handed Joe the lantern.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What's your game? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What?
hvd.hn1sli	“ What?
hvd.hn1sli	“ What?
hvd.hn1sli	“ What? ” “ Only this. ” She opened her hand and dis- closed a rifle cartridge.
hvd.hn1sli	“ What?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ What?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ When was this one last out? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where are you going, November? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where did ye find them? ” she gasped.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where was his boat? ” I asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where was you last night? ” Val looked narrowly at Joe, Joe returned his stare.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where's Butler's Cairn? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where's Ruby now? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where's young Dan? ”"I've just got him off to sleep on the bed there"; she pointed to a deerskin curtain in the corner.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Where? ” “ By your stove. ” Joe bent down and picked up some short, red hairs.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who found the boots? ” said he.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who is he, Sally? ” Mrs. Rone's pretty forehead puckered into a frown.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who sent you? ” “ Ca n't tell that, but I guess Miss Pointarré will know when I give her the message."
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who ’ve you got? ” “ The blackguard that robbed us."
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who'll stop me?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who's there? ” he cried, “ who — ” “ Them as is sent by Hal Lyon."
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who? ” “ Pink and grey necker, ” said Joe gently.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Who?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why Mrs. Hard- ing?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why did not the murderer sink Lyon's body in the water?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why did you start out?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why do you say that? ” “'Cause he ca n't.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why do you think that? ” “ Red River's the overflow of Snow Lake, and there is several trappers has canoes on Snow Lake.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why not? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why not? ” he retorted angrily.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why not? ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why queer?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Why, Joe, it's no use blinding you, for you remember Walter Calvey, do n't you? ” “ Sure!
hvd.hn1sli	“ Wire enclosures? ” cried Stafford in disgust.
hvd.hn1sli	“ With the money?
hvd.hn1sli	“ Wo n't one of you be- lieve me?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ Yes, the boss — no other! ” “ Got evidence?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ You a trail- reader? ” “ Learnin'to be, ” said Joe.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You are finding the time long, Joe? ” I said on one occasion.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You found them? ” inquired November.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You hear?
hvd.hn1sli	“ You know he has some, then? ” “ One, anyway.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You maybe heard of old Mr. Schelperg, of the Combine? ” she began.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You mean he kep'to the stones in the bed o'the brook all the time?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ You mean that I have no tact? ” She smiled at me, and I instantly forgave her.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You read a good bit while you were at Mr. Stafford's place, that's so?
hvd.hn1sli	“ You remember it was hacked up?
hvd.hn1sli	“ You say you found it here? ” “ Yes. ”"Huh! ” said Joe again.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You see me?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ You see, it was n't him held you up, boys. ” “ Who was it, then? ” November stood up.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You there, Highamson? ” called out No- vember.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You think so? ” “ Are you mad, James? ” “ He has done uncommonly well for himself so far,"I said.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You think so? ” “ Are you mad, James? ” “ He has done uncommonly well for himself so far,"I said.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You think they will be at Butler's Cairn whether I go there or not? ”.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You think they'll try their hand at it again? ”"Sure.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You thought"“ How did I know he was a light man?
hvd.hn1sli	“ You two are wit- nesses. ” “ Do you deny you're Cecil Atterson? ” said Hobson.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You were eavesdropping, were you? ” Knowles said, looking a little startled.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You're not going to give me away, dear Joe, are you? ” said she.
hvd.hn1sli	“ You've given yourself away, have n't you, Miss Virginny?"
hvd.hn1sli	“ You? ”"I'm in the right, for it's ag'in'the law, and you know it, Mr. Evans. ” NIO THE BLACK FOX SKIN Evans hesitated.
hvd.hnnpje	Tell me,'he said quietly, and while in the act of putting down his hat, did you ask Mr. Fetter to arrange for my return here?' hvd.hnnpje The sort of thing a trustee would suggest, eh, George?'
hvd.hnnpje	Then I suppose you advised restitution to young Lord Wantley? hvd.hnnpje Were you afraid?
hvd.hnnpje	What led you to suppose for a moment that my daughter has gone to Kingpole Farm? hvd.hnnpje Will you come and lunch with me to- morrow?'
hvd.hnnpje	You have not brought your wife? hvd.hnnpje You mean the marriage of her daughter?'
hvd.hnnpje	You, Ludovic, will of course lunch with mamma?' hvd.hnnpje 'A friend of Wantley's?' hvd.hnnpje 'And Lady Wantley's mother, what of her?' hvd.hnnpje 'Do I?' hvd.hnnpje 'Do you know, my dear, what day this is — I mean, what day this is to me?' hvd.hnnpje 'From Kingpole Farm?' hvd.hnnpje 'Has he any special way of guarding himself from attack?' hvd.hnnpje 'Has not the time now come when you should try and forget? hvd.hnnpje 'Has she often had occasion to chaperon you, and- and- a friend, on a similar excursion? hvd.hnnpje 'How do you mean? hvd.hnnpje 'I suppose Lady Wantley is like her daughter?' hvd.hnnpje 'I suppose,'he said,'that you do n't feel you could tell her, Motey?' hvd.hnnpje 'I suppose,'said Wantley, turning to his cousin, that you have arranged for Winfrith to come over to- morrow, or Monday? hvd.hnnpje 'I suppose,'she said hesitatingly, that the Settlement would not be affected should Penelope marry again? hvd.hnnpje 'I thought you were so fond of the spring in London? hvd.hnnpje 'I wonder,'he said reflectively,'what limitation you would put to their power? hvd.hnnpje 'Is Ludovic here?' hvd.hnnpje 'Is anyone coming?' hvd.hnnpje 'Is it likely that I should let.you go alone?' hvd.hnnpje 'Is she?' hvd.hnnpje 'Is that quite true?' hvd.hnnpje 'Is there any place downstairs where your lordship could arrange for us to put the body? hvd.hnnpje 'Is this a monastery or convent?' hvd.hnnpje 'Is young Lord Wantley a Roman Catholic?' hvd.hnnpje 'Oh, is he here, too?' hvd.hnnpje 'Perhaps you re- member the Tobutts — the man who got crushed by a barrel? hvd.hnnpje 'Surely you have heard of such occur- rences?' hvd.hnnpje 'The Persian man?' hvd.hnnpje 'The new Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs?' hvd.hnnpje 'Together?' hvd.hnnpje * And does she approve of the Settlement?' hvd.hnnpje * And have you read all these right through?' hvd.hnnpje * And out there — in Persia, I mean- did you never come across him? hvd.hnnpje * And the niece, the young lady who is to be my special charge?' hvd.hnnpje * And then'Cecily spoke softly — Penelope was born?' hvd.hnnpje * And then?' hvd.hnnpje * Leaving soon? hvd.hnnpje * Then, he does not live at the Settlement?' hvd.hnnpje * Valet? hvd.hnnpje * You have understood?' hvd.hnnpje 216 THE HEART OF PENELOPE Why this great haste, this sudden hurry to be quit of the farmhouse? hvd.hnnpje 268 THE HEART OF PENELOPE • Why all this haste?' hvd.hnnpje Aime- tu ça? hvd.hnnpje Alone? hvd.hnnpje And Mrs. Mason?' hvd.hnnpje And as Cecily looked at her, bewildered, she added: ‘ I wonder what you thought of Daphne Purdon? hvd.hnnpje And as he came forward,'Are there not candles,'she asked him—'candles which should be lit?' hvd.hnnpje And he will go plodding on till in time — who knows? hvd.hnnpje And how did the traveller returning strike Mr. Julius Gumberg? hvd.hnnpje And if you see anyone, you will not speak? hvd.hnnpje And she had added, as if to herself:'But how could she be otherwise? hvd.hnnpje And so I showed it you, did I? hvd.hnnpje And when in Persia, in Teheran, what sort of life does he lead there?' hvd.hnnpje And when, may I ask, is this work of mercy to take place?' hvd.hnnpje And who,'asked Cecily with some eagerness—'who is David Winfrith? hvd.hnnpje And why have you always refused to have anything to do with the Settlement? hvd.hnnpje As he looked at her, perplexed, she added:'You do n't know the expression? hvd.hnnpje But doubtless he could not help it- how do I know what you said to him?' hvd.hnnpje But should I have the right to ask a woman to share, not only the actual risk, but also the mental strain? hvd.hnnpje But then,'added Downing, fixing his eyes on his companion, and speaking as if to himself —'but then comes the question, What is renunciation? hvd.hnnpje But when Penelope one evening had asked her, Motey, how would you like to see me become a French Countess?' hvd.hnnpje But where's your THE HEART OF PENELOPE 35 interest in these people, George?' hvd.hnnpje But why should I try and prompt you? hvd.hnnpje But,'he said deferentially, is n't that a little awkward sometimes, even for you? hvd.hnnpje CHAPTER XI'Est- ce qu'une vie de femme se raconte? hvd.hnnpje CHAPTER XIVWhen Man and Woman are agreed, what can the Kazi do?'
hvd.hnnpje	Cecily?'
hvd.hnnpje	Could it be for her, Penelope's, sake?
hvd.hnnpje	Could such a scene have ever taken place?
hvd.hnnpje	Could such an invitation have been made — and refused?
hvd.hnnpje	David Winfrith?
hvd.hnnpje	David'-she spoke softly —'how can you be so foolish?
hvd.hnnpje	Did Mrs. Delacour, with the strange prescience of the blind, divine something of what was passing in the other's mind?
hvd.hnnpje	Did my father ever treat you as a son?
hvd.hnnpje	Do you know how long I myself had to wait?'
hvd.hnnpje	Do you know it?'
hvd.hnnpje	Do you know what those are?'
hvd.hnnpje	Do you mean those books?'
hvd.hnnpje	Do you remember the exact terms of the deed — I know you have seen it- in which were arranged all the money matters connected with the Settlement?
hvd.hnnpje	Does it not remind you of the Franciscan habit?
hvd.hnnpje	For a moment they gazed at one another fixedly, then'Is it true,'she asked briefly; ‘ is it really true, Master Ludovic?
hvd.hnnpje	George Downing and Penelope Wantley?
hvd.hnnpje	George Downing?
hvd.hnnpje	Had he anything to suggest, for instance, concerning the money arrangements which must now be made about the Melancthon Settlement?
hvd.hnnpje	Had they gone forward or turned back?
hvd.hnnpje	Has she been too much left alone?
hvd.hnnpje	Have n't you heard the expression before?
hvd.hnnpje	He heard her say,'This is milk money; you will not spend it on anything else, will you?'
hvd.hnnpje	Her grandmother?'
hvd.hnnpje	Her next words confirmed his feeling of uneasy astonishment, for,'You wo n't ever set her against me,'she asked,'whatever happens, will you?
hvd.hnnpje	How could she, Cecily Wake, who owed so much — nay, her very acquaintance with Wantley — to Penelope, go against her in so serious a matter?
hvd.hnnpje	How could the other say this to her?
hvd.hnnpje	How could you believe that he, alive, would have let your letters to him go out of his possession?
hvd.hnnpje	How could you think such a thing, even of me?'
hvd.hnnpje	How does he escape?'
hvd.hnnpje	How would you like it if, when acting the part of a traitor to your party, you were always being praised for your loyalty?
hvd.hnnpje	I ca n't understand that feeling, can you?
hvd.hnnpje	I did n't say too much, George, did I?
hvd.hnnpje	I say, “ Have you ever 542 68 THE HEART OF PENELOPE read a Blue- Book? ”.
hvd.hnnpje	I wonder, though, whether you would care to look into our Founder's room?
hvd.hnnpje	Indeed, her eyes, her mouth, set in stern lines, seemed to say:'Can not you go away, and leave me in peace?
hvd.hnnpje	Is n't everything- of that sort — a little awkward, sometimes, for all of us?'
hvd.hnnpje	Joan of Arc?
hvd.hnnpje	Lord Wantley is Catholic, is he not?'
hvd.hnnpje	Mary, Queen of Scots?
hvd.hnnpje	Melancthon Wesley Robin- son — what a handicap, eh?
hvd.hnnpje	Motey, what do you mean?'
hvd.hnnpje	Motey, you remember the French Count we met in Switzerland last year?'
hvd.hnnpje	Mr. Gumberg sighed a little heavily; then, with a certain regret,'So you know all about that strange creature, Rosina Bellamont?'
hvd.hnnpje	No?
hvd.hnnpje	No?
hvd.hnnpje	Now, do you suppose that this baby's guardian angel provoked, by some way best known to itself, your excellent aunt's headache?'
hvd.hnnpje	Oh, my lady, how is it you've not seen, that you have n't come to understand, how it is with her?
hvd.hnnpje	Our discussion?
hvd.hnnpje	Penelope?
hvd.hnnpje	Perhaps you forgot to bring your notes in here with you, or — wait a moment — what is that you are holding in your hand?'
hvd.hnnpje	Perhaps you have heard of it?
hvd.hnnpje	She wished to consult him about a home for emigrant children, and I heard — now what did I hear?'
hvd.hnnpje	Should I'-Penelope's voice altered, became curiously introspective, questioning — should I have taken money from a stranger?'
hvd.hnnpje	Suddenly Mrs. Robinson turned, and, addressing the curly- headed girl, said quickly: Daphne, will you show Miss Wake round the Settle- ment?
hvd.hnnpje	Suppose I were to come in to- morrow morning and ask Miss Wake to let you go there with me?
hvd.hnnpje	Surely you should try and put the past out of your mind, if only for Penelope's sake?'
hvd.hnnpje	Surely your mistress did not intend to stay out so 236 THE HEART OF PENELOPE late to- night?'
hvd.hnnpje	THE HEART OF PENELOPE 181 But what mattered to David Winfrith the young girl's good opinion?
hvd.hnnpje	THE HEART OF PENELOPE 237"What made me think of it?'
hvd.hnnpje	THE HEART OF PENELOPE 49 ‘ But what would the Settlement do without Mr. Winfrith?'
hvd.hnnpje	The Melancthon Settlement?
hvd.hnnpje	The truth?'
hvd.hnnpje	Then a whimsical notion presented itself to his mind: Why are you smiling?
hvd.hnnpje	Then he asked himself, none too soon, what had brought Persian Downing to Monk's Eype?
hvd.hnnpje	Then, do you think these pearls are a gift from my cousin?'
hvd.hnnpje	Then, in a more natural tone, he added:'I suppose it's really unique?
hvd.hnnpje	This, then, was the new scheme?
hvd.hnnpje	Toi? ” • Second Old Bachelor: “ Hélas!
hvd.hnnpje	Undoubtedly that is what the Christian means by the word, but is there not the higher degree of perfec- tion involved in the French saint's dictum?'
hvd.hnnpje	Vous reviendrez demain, n'est ce pas, madame?'
hvd.hnnpje	Was it about the Settlement?'
hvd.hnnpje	Was she not, even before her birth, dedicated to the Lord in His temple?'
hvd.hnnpje	We can talk over Settlement affairs there, if we meet, as I suppose we shall?
hvd.hnnpje	What can I do for you?
hvd.hnnpje	What else could mean her strange, obliquely stabbing phrases?
hvd.hnnpje	What glance, what word on his companion's part, had brought it there?
hvd.hnnpje	What had signified her odd words, her pleading look, so full of unwonted humility?
hvd.hnnpje	What man so situated does not do so?
hvd.hnnpje	What sort of life would be Penelope's after she had cut herself adrift from her own world?
hvd.hnnpje	What was the truth of it all?'
hvd.hnnpje	What wilderness with her but would be Paradise?
hvd.hnnpje	When I lie down I say, When shall I arise and the night be gone?
hvd.hnnpje	Who knows?
hvd.hnnpje	Why did he keep this gentle, kindly woman in suspense?
hvd.hnnpje	Why did n't his lordship let her have Master David?
hvd.hnnpje	Why did you not ask us to come before?'
hvd.hnnpje	Why should he be?
hvd.hnnpje	Why that?'
hvd.hnnpje	Why was I smiling?
hvd.hnnpje	Would not the marriage be a suitable one?
hvd.hnnpje	Would strange, self- centred Persian Downing compensate her for all she was about to lose?
hvd.hnnpje	Would the ghost of that old story never be laid?
hvd.hnnpje	Would this maker of great schemes, this seer of visions, forget himself, in order to be everything to her?
hvd.hnnpje	Would you please ask Mrs. Mote to come to me here?'
hvd.hnnpje	You always seemed quite content--* Did I? ” he said bitterly.
hvd.hnnpje	You do n't know'em, do you?
hvd.hnnpje	You have not shown her that?'
hvd.hnnpje	You know my cousin Penelope?'
hvd.hnnpje	You love Ludovic — supposing that you suddenly heard, now, that he was married — what would you do?-how would you feel?'
hvd.hnnpje	You love Ludovic — supposing that you suddenly heard, now, that he was married — what would you do?-how would you feel?'
hvd.hnnpje	You see the idea?
hvd.hnnpje	You understand, eh?
hvd.hnnpje	You will wait here, will you not, till I come to 298 THE HEART OF PENELOPE you?'
hvd.hnnpje	You will write to him?
hvd.hnnpje	You —'I suppose I have the right to change my mind, to be guided by circumstances?
hvd.hnnpje	he cried,'I think it's my turn now to ask you how you could think such a thing, even of me?
hvd.hnnpje	how could I have found time?
hvd.hnnpje	or do you think they fly off for rest and change when their charges annoy them by being contrary?
hvd.hnnpje	said Mrs. Robinson, did he?
hvd.hnnpje	said Wantley, looking at her,'and what is the truth?
hvd.hnnpje	she said at last, and with apparent inconsequence she added: ‘ Does your ladyship remember Mrs. Winfrith, and what happened to her?'
hvd.hnnpje	you will remain absolutely silent, for the sake of your daughter, of poor Penelope?'
hvd.hnnpje	‘ And then you went on to Monk's Eype?'
hvd.hnnpje	‘ Boxes not too large to go on mules?
hvd.hnnpje	‘ But if he is married,'said Cecily slowly,'how can you go away with him like that?'

hvd.hnnpje	‘ How long has Miss Purdon been at the Settlement?'
hvd.hnnpje	“ Am I not more to thee than ten sons? ” he asked; and I felt infinitely comforted.'
hvd.hnnpje	“ Do you mean that Lord Wantley is penniless?
hvd.hnnpje	“ Do you not think there is a great likeness between them??
hvd.hnnpje	“ Do you not think there is a great likeness between them??

hvd.hnnpje	“ How can my aunt's headache get better as long as you sit there?
hvd.hnnpje	“ My dear,'he said, deeply troubled,'what is it?
hvd.hnnpje	“ Oh no,'she said in her gentle, rather drawling voice;'I ca n't sew myself, so how could I teach others to do so?
hvd.hnnpje	“ Surely,'she cried, you can understand how it is with me?
hvd.hnnpje	“ There was some story, was n't there, when Sir George Downing was a young man?
hvd.hnnpje	“ Yes,'he said;'there must be times when guardian angels must feel inclined to edge off somewhat, eh?
hvd.hnnpje	“ You mean St. Mary Magdalen, Penelope?
hvd.hnnpje	• Do you remember,'she asked, rather shyly,'your first visit to Oglethorpe, when I was a little girl?
hvd.hnnpje	• Does she know?'
hvd.hnnpje	• I suppose you show them how to sew and mend, and darn and cook?'
hvd.hnnpje	• Were they together then?'
hvd.hnnpje	•Then there are no servants here?'

hvd.hn5mpm	*Eh?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Am I to send these orders out?
hvd.hn5mpm	Anything good to read?
hvd.hn5mpm	Anything more?
hvd.hn5mpm	Anything new?
hvd.hn5mpm	Are these the lost pearls? ” I asked. hvd.hn5mpm Are you going to pass me by?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Are you in love with him, too?
hvd.hn5mpm	But if you have a clear case what did you run for?
hvd.hn5mpm	But what was their value?
hvd.hn5mpm	But why?
hvd.hn5mpm	Can I see her? ” I shook my head. hvd.hn5mpm Did she tell you?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Do n't you like actors?
hvd.hn5mpm	Do you know him, too? ” “ Go on with your story!
hvd.hn5mpm	Do you like him?
hvd.hn5mpm	Do? ” cried Mullen. hvd.hn5mpm Eh? ” I said, blinking and looking precious like one, I expect.
hvd.hn5mpm	Eh?
hvd.hn5mpm	Have the police been notified? ” he enquired. hvd.hn5mpm Have you discovered any new evidence?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Have you ever heard talk up there of a boss greater than Mrs. Mansfield?
hvd.hn5mpm	Have you got a good memory? ”First- rate."
hvd.hn5mpm	Have you promised to marry him?
hvd.hn5mpm	He did n't earn it, did he? hvd.hn5mpm He's a charming fellow, is n't he?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Headquarters? ” I said eagerly. hvd.hn5mpm How about Mount? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	How about rubies?
hvd.hn5mpm	How can I tell? ”I do n't mean him,"said Mullen scornfully.
hvd.hn5mpm	How can I tell? ”. hvd.hn5mpm How did you arrive at that?"
hvd.hn5mpm	How did you manage it? ” he asked. hvd.hn5mpm How do you know? ”"I saw it entered in his bank book.
hvd.hn5mpm	How is business, Enderby?
hvd.hn5mpm	How?
hvd.hn5mpm	I mean to leave the stage at the close of this en- gagement or before. ” “ What are you going to do? ”. hvd.hn5mpm I suppose you do n't know where he is? ” “ On his way back to Holland, I suppose.
hvd.hn5mpm	I will coach you. ” Could I resist that? hvd.hn5mpm I wonder why she did n't turn you adrift alto- gether? ” I said.
hvd.hn5mpm	If she bothers you why do n't you let her go? ” said Mount. hvd.hn5mpm Investigator?
hvd.hn5mpm	Is it Faxon?
hvd.hn5mpm	Is it all right?
hvd.hn5mpm	Is there a drugstore in the hotel? ” I asked the girl at random, to distract her attention. hvd.hn5mpm Is this true?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Mount's pearls? hvd.hn5mpm Mount?
hvd.hn5mpm	No one. ”Were there any strangers on the stage?".
hvd.hn5mpm	Oh, you did not, you have not?
hvd.hn5mpm	Ohl — you would not deceive me?
hvd.hn5mpm	Pretty snug, eh? ” he said, following my admiring eyes. hvd.hn5mpm So you're in the same line? ” he said looking at my card.
hvd.hn5mpm	Sydney?
hvd.hn5mpm	Then how do you explain Mount? ” he asked. hvd.hn5mpm Then what do you want me to do?"
hvd.hn5mpm	There is n't such a thing really as a blue pearl, is there? ” I asked idly. hvd.hn5mpm To tell me what you thought of me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Was any one with you when you got them out of the safety deposit box?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was he in with you?
hvd.hn5mpm	Well, much more than twelve thousand. ”The only blue pearls in the world? ” he said, puz- zled.
hvd.hn5mpm	Well, that's all, is n't it?
hvd.hn5mpm	Well, what are you going to do about it?.
hvd.hn5mpm	Well, what do you think of him? ” he asked. hvd.hn5mpm What are you getting at? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn5mpm	What can I do for you? ”Have n't your people told you what happened in my office last night? ”"No.
hvd.hn5mpm	What can I do for you? ”Have n't your people told you what happened in my office last night? ”"No.
hvd.hn5mpm	What do you want me to do?.
hvd.hn5mpm	What do you want of me?
hvd.hn5mpm	What do you want to put on this pretence with me for? ” I demanded. hvd.hn5mpm What does evidence matter? ” he cried.
hvd.hn5mpm	What have you got to say about it, mate? hvd.hn5mpm What would you say to a South American gentle- man? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	What's it got to do with me? ” “ Nothing. hvd.hn5mpm What's new?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What's that for, swell figure?
hvd.hn5mpm	What's the matter with you?
hvd.hn5mpm	What's your game? ” he demanded suspiciously. hvd.hn5mpm What's your game?"
hvd.hn5mpm	When would you ordinarily report to him? ” I asked. hvd.hn5mpm Where? ” he shot at me.
hvd.hn5mpm	Who seems to be ahead of him?
hvd.hn5mpm	Why did you write to me? ” This took me by surprise. hvd.hn5mpm Why do n't you and he do it together?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Why do n't you go it alone? ” I said. hvd.hn5mpm Why have n't you been to see me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Why in Hell ca n't you let me alone? ” he said fretfully. hvd.hn5mpm Why should I split on Enderby?
hvd.hn5mpm	Worth what?
hvd.hn5mpm	Would I? ” he cried, jumping up. hvd.hn5mpm Would n't you like to see Miss Hamerton wear them? ” he asked softly.
hvd.hn5mpm	Yes? ” he said calmly. hvd.hn5mpm You're one of these here experts yourself, ai n't you? ” he said at last.
hvd.hn5mpm	'” “ Right Signature?".
hvd.hn5mpm	'”"Did you look in the recent obituaries for a clue? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	* Subtle irony, eh?
hvd.hn5mpm	126 Thieves'Wit 127 “ Do n't you ask references from prospective ten- ants? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	20 Thieves'Wit"Who has the entrée to your dressing- room while you are on the stage?"
hvd.hn5mpm	28 Thieves'Wit"Have you any clues?"
hvd.hn5mpm	96 Thieves'Wit car “ Do you care to explain where you got it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	:"What commission?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Any more particulars? ”"Mrs. Mansfield lives alone, ” he went on.
hvd.hn5mpm	Are you sure?"
hvd.hn5mpm	As my fares climbed out, English said to Jumbo:"How long will we be in here?"
hvd.hn5mpm	But I would not give up, though I felt it was useless: “ What happiness can there be for any of us if Irma comes to grief? ” I said.
hvd.hn5mpm	But does that give his family the right to run us to the end of time? ” • What are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	But does that give his family the right to run us to the end of time? ” • What are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	But the door to it was immediately behind her. ”"Have you any reason to suspect her? ” “ None whatever.
hvd.hn5mpm	But what had the cryptogram to do with it?
hvd.hn5mpm	Could I come to her?
hvd.hn5mpm	Could you with safety ar- range for some one to get hold of the boy?
hvd.hn5mpm	Detective?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Did the clerk know where there was a taxi- dermist in town?
hvd.hn5mpm	Do you wonder that a kind of convulsion took place inside me?
hvd.hn5mpm	Everybody in the trade was advised. ”"You are sure Freer knew?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Finally, how could it be an affair of the heart?
hvd.hn5mpm	First I had to persuade her to wear the real pearls one night. ”"How did you do that?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Had she given up?
hvd.hn5mpm	Have we not gone into every part of it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Have you got an operative working for you named Atterbury, number 68 on your books?"
hvd.hn5mpm	He de- posited forty thousand dollars last week. ”"Where do you suppose he got it?".
hvd.hn5mpm	He showed us a photo- graph, do you remember?
hvd.hn5mpm	He would have lost it, would n't he, to keep us from suspecting? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	He's a wise guy, does the old family friend act, see?
hvd.hn5mpm	How can she tell?"
hvd.hn5mpm	How did the real pearls get in your safe?"
hvd.hn5mpm	How did you get into this business? ”"Drifted into it,"he said.
hvd.hn5mpm	How do you account for that?"
hvd.hn5mpm	How was a man to tell?
hvd.hn5mpm	I am assuming that you know that a certain famous necklace of blue pearls has been stolen?"
hvd.hn5mpm	I came back: ‘ Who are you?'
hvd.hn5mpm	I can give you the name of every person who was on the stage that night. ” “ Has any one connected with the company left since then? ”"No."
hvd.hn5mpm	I con- sidered him presumptuous to aspire to our sun, as he plainly did: He was n't half good enough- half?
hvd.hn5mpm	I do n't know if you remember the trial-? ” “ Something of it,"said I.
hvd.hn5mpm	I hated her, but what could I do?
hvd.hn5mpm	I stared at her like a clown, and like a clown I blurted out without think- ing:"Oh, what's the matter? ” She did n't answer me, of course.
hvd.hn5mpm	I wish I had. ”"Well, where is he now?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Indeed, on the night in question I remember seeing her watching the scene from the first entrance. ” “ During which time your room was unlocked?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Is there anything else I can do? ”"I hoped that with your knowledge of jewels and the jewel market you could give me something to work on,"I said.
hvd.hn5mpm	It is not a man's work. ”"Have you just discovered it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	It would depend simply on how far the purchaser could go. ”"Would n't they be difficult to dispose of?".
hvd.hn5mpm	Law- yers consulted him, and he gave evidence at trials. ” “ What was his name?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Losing that, what did he care about his reputation?
hvd.hn5mpm	Meet me- let me see- What town is there near Greenwood City, Long Island, but not on the same road? ” “ Ringstead, two miles South."
hvd.hn5mpm	Miss Hamerton's pearls with the idea of presenting her with them, to add to her collection?"
hvd.hn5mpm	More than flesh and blood"His friend replied:"My dear fellow, it's worth it, is n't it?
hvd.hn5mpm	More trouble, I sup- pose?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Mr. Dunsany or"English"reported that he had been detailed to go to Newport on Saturday to spy on the lady, and what should he do about it?
hvd.hn5mpm	One fact contradicts the other. ”"How do I know what other activities he's been engaged in?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Shall I discharge him altogether?
hvd.hn5mpm	Shall I see her?"
hvd.hn5mpm	She is so surrounded by flattery and meanness, it has taught her to suspect even her lover. ”"But how did the pearls get in his safe?"
hvd.hn5mpm	She said she could n't come, but the coast was clear, and could I come to her?
hvd.hn5mpm	She thought from my shrug that I meant to convey that if her lover had been guilty of one theft why not others?
hvd.hn5mpm	So I went in her dressing- room""How did you get in?"
hvd.hn5mpm	That is our hope in the present situa- tion. ” “ Do you suppose the thief knew what he was get- ting?"
hvd.hn5mpm	That nice girl you brought into the company, Miss Farrell, do you think she would go with me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	That will let you out, wo n't it?
hvd.hn5mpm	The instant she caught sight of my face she said: “ You have news? ” I nodded.
hvd.hn5mpm	The supposition is that we handle only clean busi- ness. ”"What are you getting at? ” he demanded scowl- ing.
hvd.hn5mpm	The thief? ” he gasped — and sud- denly burst into harsh laughter.
hvd.hn5mpm	There is only one place in New York where they may be found. ” “ And that is? ”"Mount's.
hvd.hn5mpm	There's our old man now, what's the matter with him? ”"I do n't know him,"said Mullen with a leer.
hvd.hn5mpm	They asked eight thousand dollars for them. ” “ You knew, did n't you, that Miss Hamerton's necklace was worth much more than that?".
hvd.hn5mpm	Thieves'Wit 113 “ Why, in God's name? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5mpm	Thieves'Wit 131"Mr. Mount is a member of the association, I suppose?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Thieves'Wit 259 “ Does she have you watched?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Thieves'Wit 37 “ Why sorry?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Thieves'Wit 97 “ And you — you have told her this story? ” he fal- tered.
hvd.hn5mpm	To think of their having a picket in Dunsany's! ”"How do you know?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Was I about to land the job of diamond expert to the gang?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was he right?"
hvd.hn5mpm	Was it another of Roberts'replicas?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was it imploring me not to judge her, or imploring me to support her in what she meant to do, or imploring me to save her from it?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was n't that enough to lull suspicion?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was there a faint ring of irony in his words?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was there a man alive who would not have cast himself at her feet if she had turned a warm glance in his direction?
hvd.hn5mpm	Was this a new thread in my extraordinary tangle?
hvd.hn5mpm	We must branch out. ”"What do you propose?"
hvd.hn5mpm	We were brokers in precious stones, see?
hvd.hn5mpm	We wo n't let anybody else in, see?
hvd.hn5mpm	What booted it to return her jewels if I had broken her heart?
hvd.hn5mpm	What can be the matter? ” “ They've had a row I suppose,"replied her com- panion.
hvd.hn5mpm	What did I care about my case?".
hvd.hn5mpm	What did it mean?
hvd.hn5mpm	What did you do to him?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What do you mean by'confidential investigator'-a de- tective? ”"Something a little better than an ordinary de- tective, I hope."
hvd.hn5mpm	What does that mean?
hvd.hn5mpm	What else?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What explanation shall I make?''
hvd.hn5mpm	What kind of a story would that make? ”,"But that's what people want nowadays, the real thing, stories of the streets day by day."
hvd.hn5mpm	What marvellous faculty is it that enables a lady to know without look- ing at a man whether he is worth looking at?
hvd.hn5mpm	What shall I say?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What was I to do?
hvd.hn5mpm	What was I to make of it?
hvd.hn5mpm	What would she do?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What would you do if you were me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What would you suggest?
hvd.hn5mpm	What would you suggest?"
hvd.hn5mpm	What'll you do for me if I tell? ” 320 Thieves'Wit We have all of them that matter though- except the grand boss.

hvd.hn5mpm	Would you like to see this woman go to jail?".

hvd.hn5mpm	“ Am I not here asking you to let me off? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Am I not ridiculous?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Am I to give up my job at Dunsany's?"

hvd.hn5mpm	“ But I had n't seen her then. ”"Are n't you going to the country? ” I asked, hop- ing to create a diversion.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ But ai n't the stones all cut different? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ But his bank account? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ But how about the kidnapping?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ But how do I know what is bad and good to you? ” I objected.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ But how?-where?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Can you help me find a place, some place where nobody knows me?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Cautious, eh? ” he laughed uproariously.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Confidential investigator?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Could it be managed without exciting comment in the company?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Did you have any special reason for wearing the genuine pearls that night? ” “ None, except that I loved them.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do we ever get quite to the bottom of anything? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do you believe me capable of such a thing? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do you care to tell me why you waited six weeks before deciding to look for the thief? ” I asked as gently as possible.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do you expect me to believe that?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do you get me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do you need to ask? ” I said.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Do you need to ask? ” There was a commotion among the men.

hvd.hn5mpm	“ Irma, do you believe this of me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Irma, how soon can you replace me in the cast?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Is it a reliable place?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Is it to be a party?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Is this the lost neck- lace? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ It's a deuce of a note, is n't it?"

hvd.hn5mpm	“ The most perfect revenge in the world is yours if you want it, because she loves you. ” “ What are you getting at?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Then why was she so distressed in the begin- ning?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Then will you?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Then you agree with me that there is an organised gang at work?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Then you think that the robbery was engineered by experts?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ There's another reason,"said Sadie,"sufficient for a woman. ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ This is my affair, and mine only-""How about her? ” I put in.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ This you? ” he said.

hvd.hn5mpm	“ What am I to do? ” “ Go to bed.

hvd.hn5mpm	“ What did you leave England for? ” he asked sud- denly.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you expect to gain by bluffing now? ” I said impatiently.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you mean? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you mean? ” “ Beat it,"I said in homely slang.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you mean?"

hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you want me to do?".
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you want to drag me back for?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What does that mean? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What good am I to you now? ”"I no longer believe you guilty."
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What is there to do? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What is this mysterious thing?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What makes you think so? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What shall I do?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What shall I say to him?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What was there about the cryptogram that eased her mind?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What will I do about the women here?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What will it be now?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What's it all about? ” he cried irritably.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What's the difference? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What's the matter with Freer? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What's the use? ” he grumbled.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What's this I hear downstairs about Miss Ham- erton being sick? ” he demanded anxiously.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ What's this?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ When is it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Where did you find them? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Where did you get it? ” “ Out of a safe in Mr. Quarles'flat. ” She looked at me stricken stupid.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Where were your reports to be sent?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Where?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who are you? ” he demanded, as so many others had done.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who else bought them? ”.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who hired you to trail me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who the devil are you? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who to?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who wants to give an actor a regular job? ” We had scrambled eggs and sausages.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Who's forgetting that I'm the boss now? ” I said severely.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why are you looking at me like a policeman? ”"Look at me close,"I said.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why did n't you let me know you were in town?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why did n't you tell me before? ”"Roland forbade it.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why do n't you break it up?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why- how- how did it happen?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Why? ” “ Nobody knows.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Will you come with me?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Will you please send it right off?
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Would n't it be nice to have white hands waiting at home to do that for you? ” I suggested teasingly.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ Yes,"he said,"what is it?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ You are asking me to give up my profession? ” she murmured unsteadily.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ You are sure? ” “ Sure?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ You are sure? ” “ Sure?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ You heard? ” she said startled.
hvd.hn5mpm	“ You know him?"
hvd.hn5mpm	“ You're both all right?"
hvd.hn5mpm	• “ Will you send a telegram for me?"
hvd.hnpei9	If you are so sanguine, why not try your own luck at it? ” “ I would; but unfortunately I am a rich man.
hvd.hnpei9	23 “ But why the change in your name? ” I asked, when he paused for a moment in his merry talk.
hvd.hnpei9	235 “ Do you see it? ” said Vanneck, turning to our host, and speaking, I thought, nervously.
hvd.hnpei9	237 difference could it make to him if my people came from Flanders or Timbuctoo?
hvd.hnpei9	75 “ Convinced of what?
hvd.hnpei9	Abbot winced mentally at the question. — “ Do you think I wish to marry Francis Abbot only for the position I shall gain?
hvd.hnpei9	Abbot- marry the first nameless young woman who strikes his fancy?
hvd.hnpei9	After all, what did it mean?
hvd.hnpei9	Although he had predicted his own death, why was Paul Vargas so anxious to die that he had endeavored to make me kill him?
hvd.hnpei9	Are you going to be married?"
hvd.hnpei9	But why not verify your suspicions while you can? ” Just like Brand!
hvd.hnpei9	Ca n't you under- stand that I mean to pay you well for any trouble I give you?
hvd.hnpei9	Can I at the end of this story give any elucida- tion?
hvd.hnpei9	Can you be true when every thing is brought to bear against me?
hvd.hnpei9	Could I get away from work now?
hvd.hnpei9	Could it be possible that she had driven over to visit Millicent?
hvd.hnpei9	Did Frank Abbot continue to work as hard at his profession as he had resolved to do?
hvd.hnpei9	Did you marry Mr. Abbot for his wealth? ” — Mrs.
hvd.hnpei9	Do n't you know it means death wandering about on such a night as this?
hvd.hnpei9	Do n't you see that Ralph has done all this?
hvd.hnpei9	Do you recognize it? ” “ I gave it to Miss Rowan myself. ” “ Then we are on the right track, ” I cried, joy- fully.
hvd.hnpei9	Do you think the memory of the old love will stay my hand when the chance comes?
hvd.hnpei9	Does he regret the loss of his fortune much?
hvd.hnpei9	Ever and anon I heard him mutter like a man in a dream, “ What have I done?
hvd.hnpei9	Five, ten, twenty, a hundred, or more?
hvd.hnpei9	For my part, I intend to drive into Clifton this morning and see the girl. ” “ What folly?
hvd.hnpei9	Had he treated this woman so evilly, that he dreaded lest she came to his death- bed to heap reproaches on his head?
hvd.hnpei9	Haunted. ” “ What haunts you? ” He came close to me and grasped my arm.
hvd.hnpei9	Have you any thing on your mind-any special worry? ”.
hvd.hnpei9	Have you so poor an opinion of your son as to fancy I can not love him for himself?
hvd.hnpei9	He grasped my hand, and, speaking a hoarse, strange whisper, said, “ Who put that devil's dagger on the seat for me to find?
hvd.hnpei9	He is ill, very ill- de- lirious and calling for you. ” “ Where is he?
hvd.hnpei9	How can I when you sit here and talk such arrant nonsense, and expect me to believe it?
hvd.hnpei9	How could he die better than in the arms of the woman he loved?
hvd.hnpei9	How long have you known him?"
hvd.hnpei9	How should he earn his living?
hvd.hnpei9	I am quite a different man. ” “ No supernatural visitations? ” I asked, anx- ious to learn that his cure in that direction was complete.
hvd.hnpei9	I called to ask your advice and aid. ” “ In what, Mr. Carriston? ” “ In this.
hvd.hnpei9	I put it to you: do you think that Mr. Abbot or myself can lend our sanction to this ill- advised affair?"
hvd.hnpei9	I shall be thinking all the while how you would have graced it. ” “ Who lives there now?
hvd.hnpei9	If I did not care to visit Scotland would I suggest some other place where he could join me?
hvd.hnpei9	If a hundred fail, one succeeds — why should he not be that one?
hvd.hnpei9	If you had forgotten me, I should have gone straight back. ” “ Next week? ” asked Frank, scarcely believing his own happiness.
hvd.hnpei9	Is he more superstitious than others? ” “ As you mention it, he is.
hvd.hnpei9	Is she staying here like our- selves? ” A look of pleasure flashed into his eyes — a look which pretty well told me every thing.
hvd.hnpei9	Is the man worse? ”"I would n't go back for a hundred pounds- I'm going home."
hvd.hnpei9	May I come to the church and see you married?"
hvd.hnpei9	May I not in my turn ask why you wait for me here? ” “ I came here thinking to avoid all chance of meeting.
hvd.hnpei9	Now tell me what is wrong? ” Now that he had set my doubts at rest, his agitation and excitement seemed to return.
hvd.hnpei9	Other men had made their way; why should not he?
hvd.hnpei9	Ought I to go to Fraser and tell him all I had learned?
hvd.hnpei9	Shall I ever forget?
hvd.hnpei9	Somewhere or other, but where?
hvd.hnpei9	Tell me: can you see it now? ” “ No; thank God, not now."
hvd.hnpei9	Then came a bit of uncertainty- Which of those two roads was the right one?
hvd.hnpei9	To give the affair your appar- ent sanction?"
hvd.hnpei9	To what revelation was this tending?
hvd.hnpei9	Unless any thing unforeseen arises he will probably live and die as sane as you or I. ” “ Why do you fear for him, then? ” “ For this reason.
hvd.hnpei9	Was it Brandon?"
hvd.hnpei9	Was it chance?
hvd.hnpei9	Was it fulfillment?
hvd.hnpei9	We shall be so now — shall we not?"
hvd.hnpei9	What do I care?"
hvd.hnpei9	What do you mean by your time?"
hvd.hnpei9	What does his darling think?
hvd.hnpei9	What does it mean? ” Mr. Jones rose from his chair and held out his CHEWTON- ABBOT.
hvd.hnpei9	What is it? ” “ Something Vanneck told us.
hvd.hnpei9	What shall we play for, Mr. Vane?
hvd.hnpei9	What things? ” “ Things, as I said, which no one else can see.
hvd.hnpei9	What was that something?
hvd.hnpei9	What was to be done?
hvd.hnpei9	When you jump from your chair and rush madly at some visionary foe?
hvd.hnpei9	Where could I have met him?
hvd.hnpei9	Where is the key, you hound?"
hvd.hnpei9	Which do you choose?"
hvd.hnpei9	Who can tell?"
hvd.hnpei9	Why did I do it? ” He followed me passively to the house, where he went off into a dead faint.
hvd.hnpei9	Why should the advent of his beautiful visitor so affect him?
hvd.hnpei9	Why should the features distorted in deadly agony have been those of my brother Stephen?
hvd.hnpei9	Why should you not care to live? ” I urged.
hvd.hnpei9	Will the love of to- day seem but a boy's idle dream?
hvd.hnpei9	Will you forget?
hvd.hnpei9	Would I accept the inclosed as compensation?
hvd.hnpei9	Would I join him?
hvd.hnpei9	Would he know me?
hvd.hnpei9	Yet why should it have been this one?
hvd.hnpei9	You agree with me now? ”.
hvd.hnpei9	You will accept my apology?"
hvd.hnpei9	from nothing until it attained to form, or at least semblance, have been the face of one I had known?
hvd.hnpei9	if you could read my heart, would you walk so near to the giddy brink?
hvd.hnpei9	shall I ever forget that moment?
hvd.hnpei9	what awful thing had I to learn?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Are there any horses, any cows, about the place? ” he asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Are we there at last? ” she asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ But what about these people?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ But what brings her here? ” I asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ But what do you want to prove?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ But will you not corre- spond during that time? ” This was another important question.
hvd.hnpei9	“ By the by, ” I said, “ has he ever spoken to you about seeing strange things? ” “ Yes; he has hinted at it. ” “ And you believe him?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ By the by, ” I said, “ has he ever spoken to you about seeing strange things? ” “ Yes; he has hinted at it. ” “ And you believe him?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Can you move? ” he said, suddenly tightening his.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Care to live? ” he cried bitterly.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Carriston, ” I said, “ let me ask you one question: are these trances or visions voluntary or not? ”.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Claud will be here? ” she asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Could you drive me there after dark?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Did I promise?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Did you mention your friend's name? ” he asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Do we play evenly, Harley? ” he asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Do you mean to live here all your life? ” I asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Do you think, Mr. Fenton, you could with- out much trouble get the dog- cart up to the house? ” I said I would try to do so.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Enough to make you play your best? ” he asked, but not offensively “ Certainly.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Fate! ” Then he turned to me fiercely- “ Why did you enter that house while I was there? ” “ It was pure accident.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Girl got money? ” “ No; poorer than I am. ” “ That's bad.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Gone where?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Have you come to help me, Mr. Denys?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Have you seen it to- day? ” “ No; to- day I have been free from it."
hvd.hnpei9	“ How did you come by this? ” he cried, pointing to the silver ornament.
hvd.hnpei9	“ How do you see her? ” “ She seems to stand in a blurred circle of light as cast by a magic lantern.
hvd.hnpei9	“ How far is the place? ” asked Carriston.
hvd.hnpei9	“ How is your father?
hvd.hnpei9	“ I am only an amateur,"he said;"an idle man, nothing more — and you? ” “ Alas!
hvd.hnpei9	“ I am sorry to say we have still a long drive; would you like to rest first? ” “ No- no.
hvd.hnpei9	“ I am sorry, Mrs. Abbot, you should have thought it needful to call and tell me this. ” “ How could you expect otherwise?
hvd.hnpei9	“ If you can predict your illness, can you not take steps to prolong your life?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Is it a kind of trance you fall into? ” He seemed loth to give any information on the subject, but I pressed him for an answer.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Look here, Abbot,"he said,"what's up with you?
hvd.hnpei9	“ My poor fellow, ” I said, “ what is the matter? ” At my touch he sprang to his feet.
hvd.hnpei9	“ No, I shall grow weary of it — very soon, I expect. ” “ And then? ” “ Then I shall sell every thing and try another land."
hvd.hnpei9	“ Nothing will stop him? ”.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Now are you convinced? ” asked Carriston, turning to me.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Shall we go and smoke outside? ” said Car- riston.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Take me to him. ” “ Your luggage? ” asked the gentleman.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Then you know why I have called upon you? ” The girl made no reply.
hvd.hnpei9	“ To find out which is the bringer of bad luck?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ To mark the difference? ”.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Vargas, my poor fellow,"I said, “ what does this mean? ” As I spoke I remembered how he had predicted his own death.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Well, and what if he did?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ What can I do?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ What do you mean to do now? ” asked Brand, in a discontented whisper.
hvd.hnpei9	“ What do you mean to do? ” he asked his friend.
hvd.hnpei9	“ What does it matter,"she said, “ so long as we are really married?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ What have you seen yourself?
hvd.hnpei9	“ What kind of house is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ What promise?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ What young woman? ” asked Mr. Abbot, laying down his letters.
hvd.hnpei9	“ What's the matter? ” I asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ What-- does — it all mean? ” gasped Mr. Abbot as his wife subsided on his shoulder.-“Mr.
hvd.hnpei9	“ When do you mean to be married? ” I asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ When shall we be married? ” he said.
hvd.hnpei9	“ When?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Where are you going? ” I asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Where is she going?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Where is she?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Who may she be, and where did Frank meet her? ” “ He saved her from some incivility at the rail- way station, and so made her acquaintance.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Why do you leave? ” “ I am going to travel about.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Why in the world should n't you?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Why is it here — who is it? ” she gasped out.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Why? ” asked Harley, with a shade of surprise in his voice.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Will next week be too soon?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Will you give me some paper and chalk? ” he asked.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Will you play double- dummy, Mr. Vanemor, better still, piquet? ”.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Wonder who he is?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Would you have won?"
hvd.hnpei9	“ Would you think it very dreadful if I said the sooner the better?
hvd.hnpei9	“ Yet why do I dread London so?
hvd.hnpei9	“ You are satisfied then? ” he said.
hvd.hnpei9	“ You are trying to account for the likeness they talked about? ” He made no reply.
hvd.hnpei9	“ You do not know who I am, I suppose? ” said Mrs. Abbot after a pause.
hvd.hnpei9	“ You predict he will go mad? ” he said.
hvd.hnpei9	“ You see? ” he asked, or rather asserted.
hvd.hnpei9	“ You will, of course, be disgustingly rich? ” I said.
hvd.hnpei9	“ Your wife, I suppose? ” I said, when we were alone.
hvd.hn3gfg	Did n't I tell you? ” said Mr. Kent. hvd.hn3gfg Did you ever carry any lumber for a man named Walter B. Hestor?
hvd.hn3gfg	& O. have I? ” “ Fifteen thousand shares at an average of 93,"was the reply.
hvd.hn3gfg	-"What do you think of that for a showing?"
hvd.hn3gfg	-"“ Your property?
hvd.hn3gfg	?
hvd.hn3gfg	A handful of bright sand To buy a shroud with and a length of earth?
hvd.hn3gfg	About where do you suppose this island is located, Mr. Hammond?
hvd.hn3gfg	And all for what?
hvd.hn3gfg	And, on top of this, our man Seymour wires that Vincent is the man. ” “ Do you think that he is, Mr. Chalmers?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are there full directions on it?"
hvd.hn3gfg	Are they to be consulted?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you on?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you on?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you on?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you on?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you on? ” Mr. Seymour acknowledged the applause; bowed and returned to his seat.
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you on? ” “ You must all sing in the chorus, ” explained Mr. Seymour.
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you sure there is a lot of them?
hvd.hn3gfg	Are you the captain of a pirate ship?
hvd.hn3gfg	Beautiful day, is it not?
hvd.hn3gfg	Bigger, did you say?
hvd.hn3gfg	But he is just splendid; do n't you think so, Helen?"
hvd.hn3gfg	But how about the people who are not interested in trusts, either as stockholders or employees?
hvd.hn3gfg	But who could have foreseen such a denouément?
hvd.hn3gfg	By the way, Pence, did you read those articles about your will?
hvd.hn3gfg	By the way, has that man L. Sylvester Vincent been heard of?
hvd.hn3gfg	By the way, where is Mr. Vincent?
hvd.hn3gfg	Can you go, Mr. Chalmers? ” “ Certainly I can go, ” said that gentleman.
hvd.hn3gfg	Can you put any money value on such a service to a people? ” “ What a grand thing that would be! ” said Mr. Carmody.
hvd.hn3gfg	Captain Waters, how did our old college chum, L. Sylvester Vincent, get on board the ‘ Shark?
hvd.hn3gfg	Comprenez- vous? ” “ Oui, monsieur.
hvd.hn3gfg	Comprenez- vous? ” “ Oui, monsieur."
hvd.hn3gfg	Comprenez- vous?"
hvd.hn3gfg	Could they reach it?
hvd.hn3gfg	Could they see him?
hvd.hn3gfg	Did I ever sing you my favorite song?
hvd.hn3gfg	Did any one ride with him in the carriage?
hvd.hn3gfg	Did it ever occur to you that there is one great industry which never yet has tested the benefits which come from a community of owner- ship?
hvd.hn3gfg	Did the spirits of a for- gotten race visit their wrecked palaces and temples, riding on the wings of the hurricane?
hvd.hn3gfg	Did you ever make the experiment with iron filings and a magnet?
hvd.hn3gfg	Did you ever taste anything so de- licious?"
hvd.hn3gfg	Did you notice anything peculiar about the crew? ” “ You seem to have them under the discipline of the United States navy, ” said Mr. Pence.
hvd.hn3gfg	Did you see him drop? ”"I did, ” said Mr. Morton.
hvd.hn3gfg	Did you see how he dis- posed of us as if we were children who were in his way?
hvd.hn3gfg	Do I quote you right, Mr. Car- mody? ” “ You do, ” said Mr. Carmody."
hvd.hn3gfg	Do n't you remember what we were talking about at dinner?
hvd.hn3gfg	Do n't you see him? ” Hestor danced around the forecastle in the most excited manner.
hvd.hn3gfg	Do n't you think so? ” “ Smooth as a watch, ” said Mr. Kent.
hvd.hn3gfg	Do we learn nothing by experience?
hvd.hn3gfg	Do you care to give any sane reason for this affair?
hvd.hn3gfg	Do you imagine such a condi- tion is to be permanent?
hvd.hn3gfg	Do you not know that every dollar he saves and does not spend hastens the day when production will outstrip consumption?
hvd.hn3gfg	Do you see it now? ” It was as Sidney said.
hvd.hn3gfg	Do you understand?
hvd.hn3gfg	Does it not occur to you that this is a large income? ” “ You have forgotten that we have an income tax and other taxes, ” said Sidney.
hvd.hn3gfg	Easy?
hvd.hn3gfg	Eh, pet? ” “ Not a particle of it!"
hvd.hn3gfg	Finally'e went away. ” “ What kind of a looking man was he? ” asked Chalmers.
hvd.hn3gfg	Go away and leave$ 350,000 in gold unguarded?
hvd.hn3gfg	Got it?
hvd.hn3gfg	Great scheme, do n't you think?
hvd.hn3gfg	Great?
hvd.hn3gfg	HOME AGAIN 474 Chapter XXVII LOW far are we from Vera Cruz, Captain Baldwin? ” “ About twenty- five miles, Mr. Car- mody."
hvd.hn3gfg	Had he observed their preparations for escape?
hvd.hn3gfg	Has he no rights you must respect?
hvd.hn3gfg	Have I stated your plan correctly? ”.
hvd.hn3gfg	Have I stated your position accurately? ” “ You have stated it succinctly and accurately,"said Mr. Hammond.
hvd.hn3gfg	Have I stated your position correctly? ” “ Yes,"said Mr. Rockwell.
hvd.hn3gfg	Have they anything to say about it?
hvd.hn3gfg	Have we any finger bowls? ” Vallges.
hvd.hn3gfg	He built a house on some island in the West Indies a year or so ago. ” “ What sort of a man wuz he? ” asked Captain Parker.
hvd.hn3gfg	He called this effort the “ Rameses Song! ” “ THE RAMESES SONG “ In the days of old Rameses; Are you on?
hvd.hn3gfg	He may never get it, or he may get part of it in after years. ” “ What is the remedy you propose for this state of things? ” asked Mr. Rockwell.
hvd.hn3gfg	He's a big one, is n't he?"
hvd.hn3gfg	He's buildin'a new hotel in Havana. ” “ Is he in Havana now? ”.
hvd.hn3gfg	How are these people to save money?
hvd.hn3gfg	How are we to find him?
hvd.hn3gfg	How are you, Captain?
hvd.hn3gfg	How are you, Mr. Morton?
hvd.hn3gfg	How can boys or girls comprehend a country which to them exists only in school books?
hvd.hn3gfg	How did it happen? ” “ It represents accumulated labor for which we The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES 276 have paid wages, ” said Mr. Carmody warmly.
hvd.hn3gfg	How did it happen? ” “ Like a fool, I did not take your advice and dive in time,"said Mr. Kent.
hvd.hn3gfg	How do you do, Mr. Chalmers?
hvd.hn3gfg	How do you do, Mr. Kent?
hvd.hn3gfg	How far is it from here to the park'?"
hvd.hn3gfg	How in thunder am I going to reach him?"
hvd.hn3gfg	How is that?
hvd.hn3gfg	How is the good ship, the ‘ Sam Walker'? ”"Finer'n silk,"said Captain Parker, as they shook hands cordially.
hvd.hn3gfg	How is the government going to embark in business? ” asked Mr. Morton.
hvd.hn3gfg	How many workmen own their homes?
hvd.hn3gfg	How much do you suppose was produced in the next fifty years?"
hvd.hn3gfg	How much do you want?
hvd.hn3gfg	How much does a million dollars in gold weigh? ” He hunted up a book and made a calculation.
hvd.hn3gfg	How much money did you say is on deposit now? ” “ I have not seen a recent statement, ” said Sidney.
hvd.hn3gfg	How much shall I send?
hvd.hn3gfg	How on earth can they do it?
hvd.hn3gfg	How soon can you be ready? ”.
hvd.hn3gfg	How will he justify himself? ” “ There are no billionaires in this country, ” said Mr. Rockwell.
hvd.hn3gfg	How will the government obtain the land for raw materials, and where will it get the money?
hvd.hn3gfg	How would it read?
hvd.hn3gfg	I know you will. ” At S E A 191 “ Does Mr. Van Horne, the editor of The Record, know anything about this? ” asked Sidney.
hvd.hn3gfg	I presume it is what they The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES 40 want, but what good does it do?
hvd.hn3gfg	I should have all of them in my possession before nine o'clock. ” “ How about me? ” asked Mr. Vincent.
hvd.hn3gfg	I suppose you also will have an inheritance tax on all estates over a certain amount? ” “ Yes, I would, ” replied Sidney.
hvd.hn3gfg	I swan, ye never can tell, can ye?
hvd.hn3gfg	I think I should be ready to contribute to any such fund. ” “ Who are you going to give it to?
hvd.hn3gfg	I think things are perfectly lovely as they are, do n't you?
hvd.hn3gfg	I will remain. ” “ Who is going to find it or steal it? ” demanded Vincent.
hvd.hn3gfg	I wonder if I can scale those rocks?
hvd.hn3gfg	I wonder if they're good to eat? ” The reflections of Mr. Vincent were cut short.
hvd.hn3gfg	I wonder when I'll wake up?"
hvd.hn3gfg	I wonder where Mr. Bernard Seymour is? ” He was not long in doubt.
hvd.hn3gfg	I would like to be crazy awhile like that myself. ” “ But how does he propose to get out of it? ” “ Give it up, ” said Chalmers.
hvd.hn3gfg	If a bank can not sell bonds at such a time, what are your workmen or small merchants to do?
hvd.hn3gfg	If a man adds to raw material a value of ten dollars a day, and re- ceives three dollars a day in wages, how is he going to keep up with his machine?
hvd.hn3gfg	If it is destined to succeed, why should the people hesi- tate?
hvd.hn3gfg	If so, it is a wonder! ” “ How much better off are we now that we be- lieve Hestor is the man? ” asked Stevens.
hvd.hn3gfg	If the government is doomed to failure, why should private interests tremble?
hvd.hn3gfg	If we overproduce now, what will we do with the machinery of the future?
hvd.hn3gfg	In other words, have you considered the possibilities of a newspaper trust? ” Mr. Hestor paused.
hvd.hn3gfg	In this particular case he simply unloaded a lot of stock and bonds on the market and turned them into cash. ” “ What did he do with the cash?
hvd.hn3gfg	In what way has it failed to meet an obligation?
hvd.hn3gfg	Is Babel come again with shrieking crew To eat the dust and drink the roaring wind?
hvd.hn3gfg	Is Mr. Ber- nard Seymour a great detective?
hvd.hn3gfg	Is he a New Orleans contractor? ”.
hvd.hn3gfg	Is he that much better off?
hvd.hn3gfg	Is it not too bad that Mr. Hestor went away just when he did?
hvd.hn3gfg	Is that your idea? ” “ That seems a logical conclusion, ” said Sidney.
hvd.hn3gfg	Is there any other business before the meeting?
hvd.hn3gfg	Is there any truth in it?"
hvd.hn3gfg	Is there no way in which we can compromise the matter? ” “ I know of none which will not disarrange my plans,"said Hestor.
hvd.hn3gfg	Is wealth to lock the last gate and invite destruc- tion?
hvd.hn3gfg	It is actually childish! ” “ But how can you pipe coal?
hvd.hn3gfg	It is also a submarine boat, is n't it, Vincent? ”"It started out that way, ” said Vincent, with a grin.
hvd.hn3gfg	It looks like a big aquarium, do n't it? ” said L. The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES 224 Sylvester Vincent, as he gazed into the water.
hvd.hn3gfg	It was noon before I stood him up. ” “ Where is Colonel McIntyre now? ” asked Chal- mers.
hvd.hn3gfg	M A ROONED 225 “ What do you think of that? ” Hestor pointed towards a grove of cocoa palms, in the center of which stood a large bungalow.

hvd.hn3gfg	Mr. Vin- cent, will you accept this commission? ”.
hvd.hn3gfg	Now why are you opposed to trusts?
hvd.hn3gfg	Now, what can we do with it? ” He looked at Mr. Morton.
hvd.hn3gfg	Oh, my brother, my noble, honest brother; why are you not here to defend yourself? ” Miss Helen threw her arms around the weeping girl.
hvd.hn3gfg	Oh, why did I make this fool voyage?"
hvd.hn3gfg	Per- haps he is; but his methods are going to be criti- cized. ” “ Did you ever talk to him on such subjects?"
hvd.hn3gfg	Perhaps they were for his crew?

hvd.hn3gfg	Rockwell?"
hvd.hn3gfg	See him, Captain?
hvd.hn3gfg	See him? ” Mr. Kent pointed at the rocks.
hvd.hn3gfg	Since trusts have assumed the responsi- bility for the welfare of the people, why should labor be asked to pass on measures for its own good?
hvd.hn3gfg	So how could he have known anything about it?
hvd.hn3gfg	Such a thing might happen, do n't you know?
hvd.hn3gfg	TS this a whirl of madmen ravening And blowing bubbles in their merriment?
hvd.hn3gfg	The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES 158 “ What wuz ther name of that dude who owned the ‘ Shark ’? ” he asked.

hvd.hn3gfg	The question for us to decide is, first, shall we pay a ransom; and second, if so, how much?
hvd.hn3gfg	The question is, who were they acting for?
hvd.hn3gfg	Then he thawed out and told me everything. ” “ What island is the house on? ” asked Miss Car- mody with suppressed excitement.

hvd.hn3gfg	To what do you wish to call my attention? ” The battle was half won.
hvd.hn3gfg	Was he opposed to it or did he countenance such a move?
hvd.hn3gfg	Was it possible that Hestor had repented of his rash idea and was about to return?
hvd.hn3gfg	Well, what do you think of it? ”"I do not know your man Hestor, ” said Stevens.
hvd.hn3gfg	Well, what do you think of me?
hvd.hn3gfg	Well, what would be the result?
hvd.hn3gfg	What a great stock speculator he would make? ” On closer examination the reptile was found to have but one head.
hvd.hn3gfg	What about him? ” Seymour gave Bender a violent kick on the shin.
hvd.hn3gfg	What am I going to do with it? ”.

hvd.hn3gfg	What do you think? ”"I think he has found our man! ” said Stevens without a moment's hesitation.
hvd.hn3gfg	What does that mean? ” said Sidney.
hvd.hn3gfg	What enterprise has the government failed in?
hvd.hn3gfg	What financial interests have you in mind in this connection?"
hvd.hn3gfg	What happens then? ” Mr. Vincent paused for effect.
hvd.hn3gfg	What in thunder did he do with all that furniture?
hvd.hn3gfg	What is it now? ” Mr. Kent examined the tape.
hvd.hn3gfg	What is that moaning sound?

hvd.hn3gfg	What kind of a tree is that? ” Sidney pointed to a medium- sized tree about fifteen feet in height, with broad spreading leaves.
hvd.hn3gfg	What more can I do for you? ” The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES 204 “ I will come to the point at once, ” said Mr. Mor- ton.
hvd.hn3gfg	What motive would a man like Hestor have The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES 126 in kidnapping such men as these?
hvd.hn3gfg	What motives would a man or a num- ber of men have in abducting these particular mil- lionaires?

hvd.hn3gfg	Why should it not handle money at cost?
hvd.hn3gfg	Why should the people pay for a service they can get for nothing or at cost?

hvd.hn3gfg	“ Are you hungry, Dick? ” “ As a wolf. ” “'Tis well.

hvd.hn3gfg	“ Can we rely on that? ” asked Mr. Chalmers.
hvd.hn3gfg	“ Captain Waters, ” he said, in a low yet distinct voice, “ do you wish to make a million dollars?

hvd.hn3gfg	“ Yes? ” “ You need not laugh.
hvd.hn3gfg	“ You are not afraid of sharks, are you? ” asked Mr. Kent, as the reluctant explorer jumped to the center of the raft.
hvd.hn3gfg	“ You are sure that Hestor said nothing about going away the night he gave the opera and supper party? ” asked Mr. Chalmers.
hvd.hn3gfg	“ You are sure these are bananas, are you? ” asked Mr. Kent.
hvd.hn3gfg	“ You do n't know how long the yacht remained at the pier, do you? ” “ De'Shark'sailed right erway as I left, sah, ” said Napoleon.

hvd.hn5pnl	Is that what I get for doing without lunch, in order to prove to you that you are not crazy? ” He appealed to me. hvd.hn5pnl It's drafty in here: do n't you think so?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Keep that to yourself, will you? hvd.hn5pnl Little thing, is n't it?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Married, I suppose?
hvd.hn5pnl	Miss Jane? hvd.hn5pnl Mr. Knox? ” he asked, from the doorway.
hvd.hn5pnl	Mr. Wardrop, did you ever hear of the figures eleven twenty- two? ” I inquired. hvd.hn5pnl My God, ” Burton said hoarsely, “ who is it?
hvd.hn5pnl	Oh, yes. ”And he left without giving you any warning?"
hvd.hn5pnl	She had always seemed rational? hvd.hn5pnl Small woman, well dressed, gray hair? ” I re- peated.
hvd.hn5pnl	Suppose, ” he said, “ suppose you grip something very hard, what happens to your hand? ”It spreads,"I acknowledged, seeing what he meant.
hvd.hn5pnl	To- mor- row's the big night- Saturday. ”What time do they close up?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Was that the day Mr. Fleming disappeared? ” the chief interrupted. hvd.hn5pnl Was the revolver in his hand? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5pnl	Well, ” he said, sitting on the radiator and dan- gling his foot, “ I guess we've got Wardrop for “ Theft?
hvd.hn5pnl	What bag?
hvd.hn5pnl	What could he have wanted? ” I exclaimed. hvd.hn5pnl What do you mean?"
hvd.hn5pnl	What do you think? ” he insisted. hvd.hn5pnl What is the matter? ” she asked uncertainly.
hvd.hn5pnl	What sort of a story have you and your friend framed up, Burton? ”. hvd.hn5pnl What's the matter?"
hvd.hn5pnl	What's the use of lying about it? ” he said wear- ily. hvd.hn5pnl When did you get them, Harry? ” To my surprise his face did not change.
hvd.hn5pnl	Where did you get'em? ” she said, fixing Hep- pie with an awful eye. hvd.hn5pnl Who is here?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Who is this?
hvd.hn5pnl	Why do n't you tell me everything?
hvd.hn5pnl	Will you answer two more questions?
hvd.hn5pnl	You are sure? ” from Hunter. hvd.hn5pnl You have not learned anything?"
hvd.hn5pnl	You mean — the Allan Fleming who has just died?
hvd.hn5pnl	You're not sick, Mr. Knox? ”Never felt better."
hvd.hn5pnl	You?
hvd.hn5pnl	-Wardrop?-that he killed him?"
hvd.hn5pnl	-Wardrop?-that he killed him?"

hvd.hn5pnl	And why did Miss Jane carry on a clandestine correspondence?
hvd.hn5pnl	And you did n't hear me when I fell down the dumb- waiter shaft?"
hvd.hn5pnl	And you too, Edith?
hvd.hn5pnl	Are you a newspaper man, Mr. Knox? ”"An attorney,"I said briefly.
hvd.hn5pnl	At what time?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Between her dead father and her lover, what?
hvd.hn5pnl	Burton, who do you think was in the Flem- ing house last night?".
hvd.hn5pnl	But by whom?
hvd.hn5pnl	But if she had, why?
hvd.hn5pnl	Could Bella —?
hvd.hn5pnl	Cyanide of potassium- and the druggist that sold it ought to be choked. ”"Where did it come from? ” I asked curiously.

hvd.hn5pnl	Did this gentleman have any bad habits?
hvd.hn5pnl	Do n't you think we ought to have one? ”"Not the police!"
hvd.hn5pnl	Do you hear that, Jack?".
hvd.hn5pnl	Do you think Schwartz would go in, walk around the table and shoot him from in front?
hvd.hn5pnl	Do you think because I'm a little hard of hearing that I've lost my other senses?
hvd.hn5pnl	Does n't he, Margery?"
hvd.hn5pnl	For why had Margery gone for Miss Jane's mail after the little lady was missing?
hvd.hn5pnl	Fred, run up, will you, and see if Katie put blankets over the boys?".
hvd.hn5pnl	Granting that Schwartz had killed Fleming- then who was the woman with Wardrop the night he was robbed?
hvd.hn5pnl	Harry, do you know where my father is? ” He faced her, as if he had known the question must come and was prepared for it.
hvd.hn5pnl	Has your father been worried lately? ”"He has not been himself at all.
hvd.hn5pnl	Have you looked there?"
hvd.hn5pnl	He leaned forward in his chair and, resting his hands on his knees, gazed at me somberly “ Suppose I say he did n't kill himself? ” slowly.
hvd.hn5pnl	He was dead then. ” “ Where is the revolver? ”"I will turn it over to the coroner. ” “ You will give it to me, ” Hunter replied sharply.
hvd.hn5pnl	He was irri- tated at a letter he had read at the table ”"Could you find that letter?"
hvd.hn5pnl	His private secretary, Wardrop, would be the one to superintend such a search. ” 170 A NIGHT IN THE FLEMING HOME “ Can you find Wardrop at once?"

hvd.hn5pnl	How are things going up- stairs? ”"You did n't happen to be up there a little while ago, did you?"
hvd.hn5pnl	How could I?
hvd.hn5pnl	How did any one get in through that kitchen door, when it was locked in- side and bolted?
hvd.hn5pnl	How did he do it?
hvd.hn5pnl	How did the leather bag get to Boston?
hvd.hn5pnl	How did the number eleven twenty- two come into Aunt Jane's possession?
hvd.hn5pnl	How did you know that?
hvd.hn5pnl	How do we know but that he was in trouble, and that Aunt Jane her- self gave them to him?"
hvd.hn5pnl	How do you get in? ” “ What are you going in for? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	How do you get in? ” “ What are you going in for? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	How does he get in?
hvd.hn5pnl	How lovely it would be if we could eat'em without smelling'em! ”"Do n't you do anything but eat? ” Wardrop asked, without enthusiasm.
hvd.hn5pnl	I always end where I begin. ”"You have not noticed any mental symptoms- any lack of memory? ” Her eyes filled.
hvd.hn5pnl	I am- was- Mr. Fleming's cashier. ” “ Yes? ”"I was terribly shocked at the news of his death, ” he stumbled on, getting no help from me.
hvd.hn5pnl	I asked gently, “ and yet you slept all night?
hvd.hn5pnl	I was put on the Ben- son kidnapping case, you remember, the boy who was kept for three months in a deserted lumber camp in the mountains?
hvd.hn5pnl	If Wardrop knew that, why had he not denounced him?
hvd.hn5pnl	If Wardrop took the pearls, I kept repeating over and over, if Wardrop took the pearls, who took Miss Jane?
hvd.hn5pnl	If ten, why not the whole ninety- eight? ” “ How do I know?"
hvd.hn5pnl	If ten, why not the whole ninety- eight? ” “ How do I know?"
hvd.hn5pnl	In the grip is your revolver; would you know it again? ” He nodded affirmatively.
hvd.hn5pnl	In- sanity?
hvd.hn5pnl	Is Mr. Wardrop there? ”"No."
hvd.hn5pnl	Is it far- fetched? ”"There were a dozen- a hundred- people who would have been glad to ruin him."
hvd.hn5pnl	Is n't that significant?
hvd.hn5pnl	Is n't'it, Jack?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Is that all?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Is that sane?
hvd.hn5pnl	Is there anything new? ” “ Not yet; there may be.
hvd.hn5pnl	Is there nothing I can do?
hvd.hn5pnl	It looks queer, does n't it?"
hvd.hn5pnl	It's no won- der I question my sanity. ”"And then- to- night? ” the chief persisted.
hvd.hn5pnl	Knox, will you tell me why you stayed up last night?
hvd.hn5pnl	Knox?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Knox?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Like the old woman: she says, ‘ Motorman, if I put my foot on the rail will I be electrocuted?'
hvd.hn5pnl	Look here, Mr. Hunter, do you think I would hurt a hair of that old lady's head?
hvd.hn5pnl	May I have another cup of coffee? ”.
hvd.hn5pnl	Miss 240 ELEVEN TWENTY- TWO AGAIN Jane had been seen in a hundred different places: one perhaps was right; which one?
hvd.hn5pnl	Most important of all now- where was Aunt Jane?
hvd.hn5pnl	Mr. Knox, are you sure it was only Harry trying to get into the house last night?"
hvd.hn5pnl	My mother's jewels as well as my own were in my dressing- room, and the door was not locked. ” “ They were not disturbed?"
hvd.hn5pnl	No screams? ”"None at all, ” she said positively.
hvd.hn5pnl	No voices?
hvd.hn5pnl	No, I came to ask what they mean by saying Allan Fleming killed himself. ”"Do n't you think he did? ”"I know he did not, ” she said tensely.
hvd.hn5pnl	Not eccentric, or childish? ” “ Not at all; the sanest woman I ever knew. ” This from Wardrop.
hvd.hn5pnl	Not what you want, eh? ”"Not quite, ” I answered non- committally and be- gan to wind my watch.
hvd.hn5pnl	Now, then, who does it look like?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Oh — the cyanide?
hvd.hn5pnl	Oh, Mr. Knox, what are we going to do?
hvd.hn5pnl	Or keep back the truth, let her marry him, and try to 218 A WALK IN THE PARK forget that I had had a hand in the whole wretched business?
hvd.hn5pnl	Poor Flem- ing to think he would end it that way. ” “ End it?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Publish the truth, see him hanged or imprisoned, and break Margery's heart?
hvd.hn5pnl	Ques- tion, where's the other gun?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Quick, do you hear? ” I was too bewildered to struggle.
hvd.hn5pnl	Sane?
hvd.hn5pnl	Suicide?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Suppose I should find Wardrop guilty, and I should find extenuating circumstances-- what would I do?
hvd.hn5pnl	Suppose he should have gone back, and found the house closed! ”"He would telephone here at once, would n't he?"
hvd.hn5pnl	THE WINDOW AT THE WHITE CAT “ Has — has anything happened to disturb my sis- ter? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	Tell Miss Letitia, will you?"
hvd.hn5pnl	That is, did he-er- drink?"
hvd.hn5pnl	That's what the public is doing; holding its nose. ”"Has n't he a daughter? ” I asked casually.
hvd.hn5pnl	The Lady or the Democratic Tiger? ”"The Tiger,"I said firmly.
hvd.hn5pnl	The closet was empty: what object could he have had in saying he had not been in it for years?
hvd.hn5pnl	The police never come here, and a man's business is his own. ” “ He is up- stairs now? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5pnl	The scrap of paper, eleven twenty- two, must connect them, but how?
hvd.hn5pnl	Ugh! ”"What did you find?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Unless ” “ Unless what? ” “ She had loaned my father a great deal of money, ” Margery said, with heightened color.
hvd.hn5pnl	Wardrop?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Was I to believe that, after all the mystery, the number eleven twenty- two was to resolve itself into the number of a house?
hvd.hn5pnl	Well, Mr. Knox, are you willing now to put yourself on rec- ord that Fleming committed suicide? ”"No,"I said firmly.
hvd.hn5pnl	Well, did she shoot him, or did Schwartz?
hvd.hn5pnl	Were there any powder marks on the body? ” “ None, ” Hunter said.
hvd.hn5pnl	What I want to know is”-disregarding my astonishment—"where is the hundred thou- sand? ” “ Find the woman."
hvd.hn5pnl	What about this young Wardrop, Jack?
hvd.hn5pnl	What did she look like?
hvd.hn5pnl	What did you mean?"
hvd.hn5pnl	What do you hear about Jane?"
hvd.hn5pnl	What does that sound like? ”"Like Clarkson! ” I exclaimed.
hvd.hn5pnl	What happened in the house? ”"I — thought I heard some one in the library,"I stammered,"but I found no one."
hvd.hn5pnl	What the devil's that? ” It was a rat, I think, and it scrambled away among the loose boards in a frenzy of excitement.
hvd.hn5pnl	What was eleven twenty- two?
hvd.hn5pnl	What were you doing in those ten minutes? ” Wardrop shut his lips and refused to reply.
hvd.hn5pnl	What would she do when she heard that Wardrop was under grave suspicion?
hvd.hn5pnl	Where they came from, or where they went? ” She smiled a little.
hvd.hn5pnl	Where was the body found? ” “ In the river at Monica Station,"was the reply.
hvd.hn5pnl	Which of you will come in?
hvd.hn5pnl	Who had been using the Fleming house while it was closed?
hvd.hn5pnl	Who had chloroformed Margery?
hvd.hn5pnl	Why did he take the pearls and sell them?
hvd.hn5pnl	Why did n't you call me then? ” I was tug- ging at the door, but it was fast, with the skirts to hold it tight.
hvd.hn5pnl	Why had Wardrop lied about so small a matter as his fountain pen?
hvd.hn5pnl	Why, we've been scouring the country for her. ” m 287 BACK TO BELLWOOD “ What do you think of it?"
hvd.hn5pnl	Why? ”"Some one came into my room and wakened me,"I explained.
hvd.hn5pnl	Will you tell her about her father? ” He took a turn about the room.
hvd.hn5pnl	Will you tell me why I should be suspected of having a hand in that, when she had been a mother to me?
hvd.hn5pnl	Would Fleming know you? ” “ No, but of course Wardrop would. ” As if in answer to my objection, Wardrop ap- peared at that moment.
hvd.hn5pnl	Would it be typical of the Schwartz I knew to pin bits of paper to a man's pillow?
hvd.hn5pnl	Would n't be likely to forget herself temporarily and kill him?"
hvd.hn5pnl	You had a case in court yesterday, did n't you? ” 16I THE WINDOW AT THE WHITE CAT"Nothing very much,"I said, looking over her head.

hvd.hn5pnl	· 359 THE WINDOW AT THE WHITE CAT “ Permanently? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ A quarter to two? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ A white man?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ After all, if you love him, hardly any- thing else matters, does it?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ And Aunt Jane?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ And do you know that Hawes had hysterics in our front hall last night?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ And you have no idea where Carter went? ” “ None."
hvd.hn5pnl	“ And you — I wonder if you always get what you want?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Are n't you afraid for yourself?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ But what terrible thing took her away?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Ca n't you pry it up with something? ” I tried several things without success, while Mar- gery explained her plight.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Can you take the nine- thirty up? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Delia and Rose. ” “ Do you know anything about them?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did he ask you to speak to me? ” “ I wo n't run a race with a man who is lame,"I said quietly.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did he know where you kept your house money? ” “ It is possible, but I hardly think so.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did he leave anything?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did she tell you? ” “ Look at her engagement ring,"Edith threw back triumphantly.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did you ever hear of the number eleven twenty- two?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did you ever live through such an eternity as the last thirty- six hours?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did you find anything, Fred?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did you hear the shot? ” Hunter asked me.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Did- you- find- any- clue? ”"Yes, dear — that is, no.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Do n't you suppose I can smell?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Do you know Bur- ton — of the Times- Post? ” “ No: I've heard of him. ”"Well, he's your man.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Do you know what that means?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Do you mean,"I asked incredulously,"that Mr. Fleming married a second time? ”"He married me three years ago, in Plattsburg.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Do you think I'm after a drink?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Have Bella arrested and her trunk searched? ” I felt myself shrinking in the old lady's esteem every minute.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ He did not speak of father? ”"No."
hvd.hn5pnl	“ He is Margery's fiancé, and she might hear you. ” “ How do you know? ” Fred demanded.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ He shot himself, did n't he?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Here?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How can I tell? ” irritably.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How could I sub- stitute an empty satchel for yours when up to fifteen minutes ago I had never seen you or your grip either?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How long has he been dead? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How long has he been gone?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How many people knew that Mr. Fleming had been hiding at the White Cat? ” from the chief.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How much money was there in it when you- left it? ”"A hundred thousand dollars.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ How old was Miss Maitland- Miss Jane, I mean?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ I called you last night over the phone. ”"Ca n't we talk in a more private place?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ I suppose it has been some time since you were in here, Mr. Wardrop?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ I suppose you do a good bit of business here?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ If there is anything in that paper that it-- will hurt me to learn, is a cup of coffee going to make it any easier? ” I gave up then.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Is it customary for somebody to stay up, on oc- 175 THE WINDOW AT THE WHITE CAT casions like this? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Is n't it a fact, Mr. Wardrop, that you took Mr. Fleming's revolver from him this morning when he threatened you with it?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Is n't she somewhere around the house? ” “ Go up and look at the room, ” the girl replied, and, with Margery leading, we ran up the stairs.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Is this where the political game is played? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ It is my belief that he was murdered. ” “ And that the secretary fellow, what's his name?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Kidneys or chops?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Killed, and she had not an enemy in the world! ”"But where is she?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Little political club? ”"Never. ”"I'm a member of it, ” he went on rapidly.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Margery, if there was a letter'C'added to eleven twenty- two, would you know what it meant? ” She shook her head in the negative.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Might it not have been your- father?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Miss Jane is not that sort, is she?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ No, never in any unusual connection. ”"You never heard Mr. Fleming use them? ” I per- sisted.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Not for two or three years. ” “ New machine? ”"No."
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Not — the pearls?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Now, Mr. Knox, what about you? ”"I opened the door into Mr. Fleming's room, perhaps a couple of minutes after Mr. Wardrop went out,"I said.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Of money? ” “ Not money, although I had a good bit in the house."
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Oh, yes, ” he asked;"did she have a diagonal cut across her cheek?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Press man, lawyer, or doctor, ” Burton broke in,"we all fatten on the other fellow's troubles, do n't we?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ She had n't any grudge against Fleming, had she?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ She was a very timid woman, was n't she? ” “ She was n't raised right, ” Miss Letitia said with a shake of her head.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Sometimes-I wonder- do you think she is altogether sane? ” The music ended with the crash of a minor chord.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ The revolver? ” Hunter queried, lynx- eyed.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Then where is she now?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Then — will you be good enough to tell me where you did go? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Then- good God-- where is my traveling- bag? ”"I have something in my head where you hit me, ” I said.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ This is John Knox. ” “ The attorney?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Throw me down a blanket or two, will you? ” I got a couple of blankets from my bed and took them down.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ To me? ” “ To you — The fact is, I do."
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What about Fleming?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What about getting him away from here? ” he said.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What are you smoking for?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What did I tell you? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What did you do with that bag? ” he demanded, and I felt his knee on my chest.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What do you think about the eleven twenty- two? ” I asked as he got up and buttoned his coat.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What does one know about new servants?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What makes you think that? ”"Come and look, ” she said, gaining courage, I suppose, from a masculine presence.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What on earth do you mean, Miss Letitia?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What other maids did you say there were?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What sort of bag? ” I heard my own voice, drunk from the shock.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What was in the bag? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What's for dessert?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ What's this about her reading the papers?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ When you had those pearls appraised for me at the jewelers last year, how many were there?".
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Where's the shell now?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Who in the devil's name are you? ” he asked wildly.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Why do men always evade issues with a woman? ” Luckily, woman- like, she did not wait for a reply.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Why would n't he take what he was after and get away? ” Hunter smoked and meditated.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Wo n't you sit down?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Would you know him? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Yes, I saw him, Jack, this very day, in an unromantic four- wheeler, and he was swearing at a policeman. ”"Where was it?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Yes,"I admitted,"Would n't be likely to have eloped with the min- ister, or advertised for a husband, or anything like that?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Yes. ”"Mr. Knox, are you willing to put yourself on record that Mr. Fleming committed suicide?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ You are certain you left it here?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ You are sure you got them all?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ You heard no sound of a struggle?
hvd.hn5pnl	“ You heard that?"
hvd.hn5pnl	“ You were com- ing home from — the city?".
hvd.hn5pnl	“ You've taken your own time about coming, have n't you? ” Miss Letitia asked sourly.
hvd.hn5pnl	“ Your father has not been ill, has he?
hvd.hn5pnl	“'Money_letters,'—another slip “'Shot- staircase'—where are the stairs at the White Cat?"
hvd.hn5pe3	A double murder? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 A mill town I believe?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Ah, at some social function? hvd.hn5pe3 Ai n't you satisfied with the way I managed it at Cork? ” O'Sheill demanded.

hvd.hn5pe3	And you did? ”Naturally,"the butler returned.
hvd.hn5pe3	Any one here except the servants? ”We have no house guests, ” said Briggs.
hvd.hn5pe3	Are you expecting him?

hvd.hn5pe3	Are you sure?
hvd.hn5pe3	Back early, are n't you? ” he asked. hvd.hn5pe3 Break in?"
hvd.hn5pe3	But if they do? ” O'Sheill demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 But what is the pig doing here at this hour? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pe3	Come into money? ” he enquired. hvd.hn5pe3 Delusion? ” retorted the adjutant.
hvd.hn5pe3	Did yer see that?
hvd.hn5pe3	Did you get that? ” he asked when the man had moved away. hvd.hn5pe3 Do I disappoint you?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Do n't you understand, ” he said,that he is a Ger- man spy and wants me to betray my country?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Do what? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 Do you mean this? ” said the astonished Mrs. Adrien Beekman.
hvd.hn5pe3	Does he offer proofs? ”More I'm afraid than you'll care to read, ” Cap- tain Sutton told him.
hvd.hn5pe3	Everybody in bed?
hvd.hn5pe3	Has Charles told you of the murder?
hvd.hn5pe3	Has he ever stung you? ” Trent asked. hvd.hn5pe3 Has that happened? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	Have n't you anything to drink?
hvd.hn5pe3	Have n't you seen my ruby stick pin?
hvd.hn5pe3	Have you ever looked at a ruby? ” “ Sure I have,Weems returned aggrieved.
hvd.hn5pe3	He was alone?
hvd.hn5pe3	His real name? hvd.hn5pe3 How can I tell?
hvd.hn5pe3	How did you know?
hvd.hn5pe3	How many did this suspected butler let in? ”Only one, the man.
hvd.hn5pe3	How? ” Trent inquired. hvd.hn5pe3 I am asked to play the traitor to my country and you ex- pect me to accept without hesitation. ”"Why not? ” Kaufmann returned.
hvd.hn5pe3	I can trim you up in good style, ” Trent said cheer- fully, “ any old time. ”What stakes? ” Monmouth asked, without eager- ness.
hvd.hn5pe3	I hoped you would, ” he answered, “ I may need a witness. ”Do n't you think it would be wiser to wait and do what he wants you to?"
hvd.hn5pe3	I know his wife and she has my friendship but for Andrew Apthorpe I have never cared. ” “ Apthorpe?
hvd.hn5pe3	I know that now,she returned, “ but then I was afraid. ” “ You'll stand by me notwithstanding that?"
hvd.hn5pe3	If you do n't take it, what is going to happen to it? ”I'm going to tell Mr. Guestwick that he ca n't buy me."
hvd.hn5pe3	Insomnia is plain hell, ai n't it? hvd.hn5pe3 Is any one suspected in particular? ” Trent asked.
hvd.hn5pe3	Is that a threat?
hvd.hn5pe3	Is the thing much damaged?
hvd.hn5pe3	Is there anybody you might want to avoid?
hvd.hn5pe3	Is this you, Briggs?
hvd.hn5pe3	It is old Drummond, is n't it? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 It's Rudolf Liebermann, is n't it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Just what is on your mind, Mr. Bulstrode? ” he began. hvd.hn5pe3 Maine? ” queried his guest.
hvd.hn5pe3	Married a St. Louis heiress, did n't he?
hvd.hn5pe3	Me? hvd.hn5pe3 My home is in Westbury,"Captain Monmouth re- pliedjhen yotoles crie"Then you could get me right in to the set I want?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Not murder? ” Lund hazarded timidly. hvd.hn5pe3 So she wo n't give you any money for ambulances?".
hvd.hn5pe3	So you had me investigated?
hvd.hn5pe3	Some very dreadful crime?
hvd.hn5pe3	Stakes? ” Trent said as though not understanding. hvd.hn5pe3 Sure it is, ” Devlin agreed cynically, “ but what are you going to do about it? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	Surely, sir,said the butler anxiously,"you re- member asking a gentleman to come into your dress- ing room?"
hvd.hn5pe3	That's right, ” O'Sheill admitted, “ but what do you want?
hvd.hn5pe3	Then you need not stay long? ”I shall go as soon as possible, ” he said.
hvd.hn5pe3	Was it anything serious? ” she asked. hvd.hn5pe3 Well?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What are you doing here?
hvd.hn5pe3	What are you frowning at?
hvd.hn5pe3	What color is she going to wear to- night? ” “ Light blue,Weiller returned almost sulkily.
hvd.hn5pe3	What do yer mean? ”Simply this, ” said Drummond distinctly.
hvd.hn5pe3	What do you make of it, inspector?
hvd.hn5pe3	What do you mean? ” he cried. hvd.hn5pe3 What do you mean?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What else? ” Trent said impatiently. hvd.hn5pe3 What have the police found? ” “ Wait,"the Baroness commanded,"you shall hear everything.
hvd.hn5pe3	What is it? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 What time did you get there? ”"Exactly at five.
hvd.hn5pe3	What was it?
hvd.hn5pe3	What's England to you, ” Kaufmann answered, “ or to THE GERMAN SPY MERCHANT 289 you to England? hvd.hn5pe3 What's happened?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What's his line? ” Trent demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 What's that? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	What's the good of your coming here and lying to me? ” The inspector spoke in an aggrieved tone. hvd.hn5pe3 What's the matter with me?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What's the matter? hvd.hn5pe3 What's the use? ” Trent demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	What's your telephone number? ” he snapped. hvd.hn5pe3 When you speak to any one do n't you go up and look'em in the face like a man same as I'm talking and looking at you?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Where are you going?
hvd.hn5pe3	Where have you come from? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 Who are the other speakers? ” Trent demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	Who is this person?
hvd.hn5pe3	Who then? ” Anthony Trent demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 Who's he?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Who's is this? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 Who's the funny old dodger with him?
hvd.hn5pe3	Why 32 ANTHONY TRENT do n't you make money instead of getting mad because I do?
hvd.hn5pe3	Why did you leave New York? ” he snapped. hvd.hn5pe3 Why do n't you go?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Why should n't I? ” he retorted,you have every- thing to gain by it.
hvd.hn5pe3	Why take it out on a mere piano tuner?.
hvd.hn5pe3	Why was n't he?
hvd.hn5pe3	Why? ” O'Sheill whispered. hvd.hn5pe3 Will they come in here? ” Trent asked anxiously.
hvd.hn5pe3	Would you be the first that fear of exposure has led into such ways? hvd.hn5pe3 You are going to leave us? ” gasped Mrs. Sauer.
hvd.hn5pe3	You are staying here?
hvd.hn5pe3	You heard no unusual sounds that night?
hvd.hn5pe3	You would n't do that? ” he cried. hvd.hn5pe3 You've got your orders? ” cried the stranger.
hvd.hn5pe3	You've led him astray you mean? ” The spectacle of the sober editor consorting with reckless bloods of the Conington Warren type amused Trent. hvd.hn5pe3 108 ANTHONY TRENT “ Who is this? ” he demanded. hvd.hn5pe3 128 ANTHONY TRENTAnything suspicious about him?"
hvd.hn5pe3	ANTHONY TRENT TALKS ON CRIME 21"Everybody asleep?"
hvd.hn5pe3	ANTHONY TRENT"How was he looking? ”"Do you mean in what direction?"
hvd.hn5pe3	ANTHONY TRENT"How was he looking? ”"Do you mean in what direction?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Absolutely undisturbed, Briggs, do you un- derstand?"
hvd.hn5pe3	And at a day when German plots and in- trigue engaged public attention what was he doing here?
hvd.hn5pe3	And even if I were interned how would that help you?
hvd.hn5pe3	And for what was he sorry?
hvd.hn5pe3	And if he had taken them, to what use had they been put?
hvd.hn5pe3	And if so, where was the Takowaja emerald? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	And what of those other baubles which were missing from St. Michael's home?
hvd.hn5pe3	And why run the risk, if you should overpower me, of being tried for murder?
hvd.hn5pe3	Are you prepared to swear to that, Austin?"
hvd.hn5pe3	But her voice was firm..? K3"I followed him on his way here, ” she went on.
hvd.hn5pe3	But how dare she wear at a dinner party where the Rosewarne's might conceivably be, so well known a string of pearls?
hvd.hn5pe3	By the way I suppose you got the stone? ”"Like hell I did, ” Devlin cried red in the face,"I got this."
hvd.hn5pe3	By the way how is it I overlooked you when I came in?"
hvd.hn5pe3	By the way, can you ride?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Ca n't you guess who I am? ” Anthony Trent looked at the clock.
hvd.hn5pe3	Can I go, sir? ”"You can not, ” cried Inspector McWalsh,"you're under arrest!"
hvd.hn5pe3	Can you imagine a crook who would leave behind what this fellow did?
hvd.hn5pe3	Can you imagine it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Dare he?
hvd.hn5pe3	Did he himself not always glance anxiously at his lamp whenever he had been away from it for a few hours?
hvd.hn5pe3	Did n't Yogotama see him when he went to my room to get my smoking jacket which you say he wore?
hvd.hn5pe3	Did the change in- commode you? ” “ Why should it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Did the change in- commode you? ” “ Why should it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Did you ever hear of Captain Despard? ” “ I think not, ” Lund answered.
hvd.hn5pe3	Did you hear him enter the house? ”"No,"the butler returned,"he has his key."
hvd.hn5pe3	Did you know that she donated ten fully- equipped ambulances to this country?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Do I entertain you? ” Anthony Trent simulated a yawn.
hvd.hn5pe3	Do n't you see they would send me away in disgrace and Norton would believe that I was just as bad as they said?
hvd.hn5pe3	Do you know, Crosbeigh, there is n't a thing in these stories of mine that is impossible?
hvd.hn5pe3	Do you realize that you generally begin work at midnight?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Do you take drugs?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Does it seem strange to you that she telephoned to you instead? ” “ Knowing Andrew Apthorpe it does not, ” he an- swered.
hvd.hn5pe3	Does n't that make you vain?
hvd.hn5pe3	Ever hear of him?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Ever sit in a poker game, son, and ANTHONY PULLS UP STAKES SI get a hunch that if you were able to buy just one more pile of chips you'd clean up?"
hvd.hn5pe3	God knows what blood was spilled for it in India before it went to Europe. ”"You do n't believe all that junk, do you? ” asked Weems.
hvd.hn5pe3	Had Devlin some such clue, he wondered?
hvd.hn5pe3	Had they put themselves to this bother simply for his sake?
hvd.hn5pe3	Have you ever thought what having a million a year means?"
hvd.hn5pe3	He knocked at the Beekman door and a man- servant 160 ANTHONY TRENT “ What has disturbed you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pe3	He said,'What is it, Connie?'
hvd.hn5pe3	He turned to Mrs. West- ward, “ Why did n't Miss Thompson telephone for police aid do you suppose?
hvd.hn5pe3	How can you explain having twenty thousand dollars?
hvd.hn5pe3	How could so long a term of years spent among professional criminals fail to be- smirch him?
hvd.hn5pe3	How could you know? ”"I do, ” he said brusquely,"and that's enough.
hvd.hn5pe3	How do you account for that? ” The inspector was troubled.
hvd.hn5pe3	How do you account for that? ”"I do n't try to, ” the butler answered suavely, “ that's for you gentlemen of the police.
hvd.hn5pe3	How much did Kaufmann know?
hvd.hn5pe3	How much do you make a week? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	How was he to find her?
hvd.hn5pe3	How was it the burglar or burglars were allowed to escape? ” Trent was enjoying himself hugely.
hvd.hn5pe3	I always rely on Austin. ” “ When did you remember?"
hvd.hn5pe3	I could outguess them every time. ” “ Who is this guy? ” Inspector McWalsh demanded loudly.
hvd.hn5pe3	I did n't think they had,""What do you know about the stone?"
hvd.hn5pe3	I knew what I was up against but did that frighten me?
hvd.hn5pe3	I mean was he looking as usual?
hvd.hn5pe3	I ought perhaps to put the matter into the hands of the police. ”"Have you? ” Trent demanded sharply.
hvd.hn5pe3	I'd had three or four cocktails, but what is that to me — or you?
hvd.hn5pe3	If I have a lot of money and you want some of it why consult your friends?
hvd.hn5pe3	If there's a doubtful place where some boches may be hiding with bombs whom do you send to find out?
hvd.hn5pe3	In Europe?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Is she pretty?
hvd.hn5pe3	Is that a ven- geance which satisfies you, Monsieur l'Inconnu?
hvd.hn5pe3	Is that reasonable? ”"I'll tell you everything, ” she cried wildly.
hvd.hn5pe3	It was William Drum- mond. ”"Why does he keep up a house on such a street as he does?
hvd.hn5pe3	Look more like policemen I suppose?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Men have said to me,'What's the use of one ambulance?'
hvd.hn5pe3	Now do you understand why I've come? ”"For the money that you think is already yours,"he said, a trifle sulkily.
hvd.hn5pe3	Now go ahead and get the police. ” “ What do you mean?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Now we know why the poor man was done to death. ”"Have they any clue? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	Now?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Over the sticks or on the flat?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Perhaps we could arrange a little match somewhere? ”"Any time at all,"Trent returned.
hvd.hn5pe3	Ready? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	Revenge?
hvd.hn5pe3	Robbery? ”"Yes and no,"Charles Westward observed with that judicial air which confounded questioners.
hvd.hn5pe3	Say could n't you introduce me? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	Say to the man,'What is your errand?'
hvd.hn5pe3	THE DANGER OF SENTIMENT 79"What is your errand? ” said Briggs suavely.
hvd.hn5pe3	THE FIRST STEP II “ And what was I saying? ” Warren returned, im- pressed with the earnestness of one in whom he be- lieved.
hvd.hn5pe3	Tell me, Mr. Warren, what did he want to put up that fiction for? ” Warren put a hot hand to a head which still ached.
hvd.hn5pe3	Tell me, did any person speak to you on your way here? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	Tell me, if you were a woman and your husband, in a drunken fit, gave away a diamond necklace to an enemy would you be calm about it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	That sauce wrong? ”"Just sheer envy, ” Trent admitted,"you've got what I want.
hvd.hn5pe3	That's correct?"
hvd.hn5pe3	The butler gazed after her scowling"Do you have to put up with that all day? ” Trent asked him.
hvd.hn5pe3	They'll be in very soon now and what could I say if the money was gone?
hvd.hn5pe3	This is the first time I have ever been in the house of my father- in- law. ” “ How did you get in? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	Trent?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Was it likely that she was instrumental in denouncing him to the authorities, tempted perhaps by the rewards his capture would bring?
hvd.hn5pe3	We shall not know until then whether his collection of valuables has been stolen. ” “ What about the revenge theory? ” Trent inquired.
hvd.hn5pe3	We'll clear up five hun- dred per cent. ”"You've put up fifty thousand in actual cash? ” Trent demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	What I want to know is why he went to a low place like the Shipwrights Hotel to see a man named O'Sheill from Liverpool, England? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	What clothes was Mr. Warren wearing?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What compromise could he effect with her?
hvd.hn5pe3	What did I do?
hvd.hn5pe3	What did I say to you when you spoke to me?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What happens?
hvd.hn5pe3	What have they done for you? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	What is the name of your honored friend?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What more likely than that the proud overbearing old man felt sufficient confidence in his nerve and his revolver?
hvd.hn5pe3	What next? ”"Nothing, now,"Kaufmann admitted readily.
hvd.hn5pe3	What was Devlin doing here disguised as a waiter if not on his trail?
hvd.hn5pe3	What was I to think? ”"I'm not blaming you,"said Conington Warren.
hvd.hn5pe3	What was Yogotama doing to allow that sort of thing? ”"You forget, sir, ” explained Austin, “ that Yogotama was n't there."
hvd.hn5pe3	What was he like?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What was his game?
hvd.hn5pe3	What was it?
hvd.hn5pe3	What would people think of him if he were placed in the dock as a criminal?
hvd.hn5pe3	What's going to happen to me?"
hvd.hn5pe3	What's the use of calling ourselves a free people?
hvd.hn5pe3	When did you first see this supposed friend? ”"I was going up the main stairway as he was about to come down toward me.
hvd.hn5pe3	Where, then, might she meet the wealthy set if not among the owners of big estates on Long Island?
hvd.hn5pe3	Which is it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	While he was planning a coup he was temperate and he never touched a drop while he was working. ”"Started to boast, I suppose? ” Lund suggested.
hvd.hn5pe3	Who is your friend?
hvd.hn5pe3	Who knows about it but you and Weems?
hvd.hn5pe3	Whose wardrobe have you robbed?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Why did n't you take it?".
hvd.hn5pe3	Why should I? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	Why should Madame de Beau- lieu fear detectives? ” There was a faint flush in her cheeks now and a brighter color in her eyes.
hvd.hn5pe3	Why should n't she use it for something she's afraid of any- body seeing? ” A steel hat pin was to his hand.
hvd.hn5pe3	Why should you not?
hvd.hn5pe3	Why this struggle for social recognition?
hvd.hn5pe3	Why was that crime never punished?
hvd.hn5pe3	Why?
hvd.hn5pe3	Wild as he was, and drunken as was his evening custom, why had this heir to the Bulstrode millions entered his house like a thief in the night?
hvd.hn5pe3	Will you do it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Will you get them for me?
hvd.hn5pe3	Will you promise me never to do this sort of thing again if I let you go?"
hvd.hn5pe3	Would Devlin allow the party to break up?
hvd.hn5pe3	Would he lodge information with the police?
hvd.hn5pe3	Would n't you feel that way? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	You have perhaps heard of him-yes? ” Anthony Trent knitted his brow in thought.
hvd.hn5pe3	You know it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	You know who she is? ” Trent nodded.
hvd.hn5pe3	You must come and have tea with me one afternoon. ” “ What afternoon? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pe3	You must have heard of him? ”"I was at school with him,"Lund said almost ex- citedly.
hvd.hn5pe3	You realize you are in my power and must do as you are bid. ”"Must I? ” Trent answered with a frown.
hvd.hn5pe3	You remember when you furnished this place you sent me to pay for some rugs- nearly two hundred dollars it was? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	You speak French of course?"
hvd.hn5pe3	You understand? ”"Perfectly,"the butler made answer.
hvd.hn5pe3	You've got that?"
hvd.hn5pe3	she demanded; “ do n't you realize your position?"
hvd.hn5pe3	the other returned, “ as for instance? ”"Your sort of work! ” he cried.
hvd.hn5pe3	what a fool! ” cried Kaufmann,"and how fortunate that I am good tempered. ”"Why? ” Trent demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	why can people like the Guestwicks object to a girl like you? ”"They've never seen me, ” she explained,"and that's the main trouble.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ A man could n't think of it. ”"And why not?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ And all the other servants had gone to bed?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ And do you usually break into a man's house when you want to apologize? ” There was almost a sneer in his voice.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ And now shall we go back to Kennebago?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ And you still stick to it that Mr. Warren made that remark?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ And you think I am acting now?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ And you will save yourself? ”"I do n't know,"said Trent hesitating.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Are they arresting him? ” Parker demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Are you a detective? ”"On my honor, no.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Are you going, too? ” Trent demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Are you?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Arresting him? ” Weems whispered, still excitedly, “ I should say not.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ At what hour shall our Mr. Jackson call?''
hvd.hn5pe3	“ But how did you get in?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ But why,"demanded Anthony Trent,"does a man like that risk his money if he's so keen on conserving it?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Can you see a woman standing there in the shadow of that tree? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Cruel? ” he repeated and turned his cold, snake eyes on her, eyes that could, when he willed it, glow with fire and passion.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Do n't you understand,"he exclaimed, “ that the man merely wants to go home and take his coat with him?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Do n't you wish you'd left me in the woods now?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Do they mention his name?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Do you know any more instances like that? ”"I know hundreds, ” Anthony Trent returned smil- ing.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Do you suggest I should look at Mr. Warren as you are looking at me?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Do you suppose I imagine you to be a Swiss silk merchant of Bahn- hof street? ” Kaufmann threw back his head and laughed.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Has my son been with you all the evening? ” “ Yes, sir,"the chauffeur returned.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Have you been instructed to see about a piano here? ” “ We are sending a man right away, ” he was told.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ I was just passing along the hall. ”"Did you hear Mr. Warren's voice? ” McWalsh de- manded suddenly.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Is it also re- ported that I come from the slums?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Is n't it unusual for an English naval commander to carry trade secrets about with him?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Is n't this a free country and ai n't I as good as any other man? ” “ In Wisconsin, undoubtedly: I ca n't speak for Westbury.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Is there any way of making sure that the man who comes is the detec- tive? ”"I am glad you are so shrewd, Briggs,"said the millionaire.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ It really means so much to you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ It's a gift and the gods forgot me. ”"Some of the boys used to look down on me,"said Weems,"but all I ask is'where is little Horace to- day?'
hvd.hn5pe3	“ It's the man who takes me every year to the Yale- Har- vard boat race. ”"Your annual jag party?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Madame is particular then? ” Trent hazarded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Oh yes, you say you can ride?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Ring him up, ” he commanded, “ there's a direct wire to his room after twelve. ”"What's his name?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Seen some service, has n't it? ” the affable stranger remarked and took it from the owner's hand.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ So that's the man whose wife has that blood- stained jewel! ” “ What do you mean — blood stained?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ That's the chaperon, eh? ”.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ That's the millionaire sportsman with the stable of steeple- chasers, is n't it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ The cotton man?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Then you mean they are n't as exact and possible as you've been telling me?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Then you will not tell him?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Thought you'd fooled me in'Frisco, did n't you?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What Austin?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What about me? ” he exclaimed impatiently.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What about that horse race? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What am I to do with them? ”"I'm taking a chance if they are found on me, ” the younger man commented.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What are you going to do? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What distance?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What do they say about my husband?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What duties have you the last thing before re- tiring?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What else could it be?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What for may I ask? ”"Let me answer him please, inspector,"begged Con- ington Warren.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What of it? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What qualifications have I for such an honor?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What time was it? ” Warren asked.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What value has it?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What's his other name? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What's in those papers? ” “ Dye formulae, ” smiled the elder man.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What's strange about that? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What's your name?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ What? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ When did we meet?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ When?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Whence the prosperity?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Where? ” “ On Kennebago lake, ” Weems told him and stopped when an expression of pain crossed the other's face.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Who is the crueler, you or I?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Who was it? ”"He would n't leave his name. ” “ What was he like? ” “ A man, ” she told him,"sixty.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Who was it? ”"He would n't leave his name. ” “ What was he like? ” “ A man, ” she told him,"sixty.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Who?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why are n't you afraid?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why are you here, then? ”"If you must know,"he told her, “ it was for re- venge. ”"Not to harm Captain Monmouth? ” she cried pal- ing.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why are you here, then? ”"If you must know,"he told her, “ it was for re- venge. ”"Not to harm Captain Monmouth? ” she cried pal- ing.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why did n't you look at him in your own way then?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why do you do that?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why keep up the farce?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why should I let you off so easily as that? ” “ Easily? ” Devlin repeated.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why should I let you off so easily as that? ” “ Easily? ” Devlin repeated.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why should I?
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Why? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ With the sale of the Rosewarne jewels? ” She shrank back.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Yes? ” said Monmouth softly.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You are certain he was killed?".
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You do n't remember me? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You do n't think so, eh? ”"Not from what I've seen of your methods.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You have only to tell him that and there is no happiness left for me in all the world. ” “ Do you think I would do that? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You remember I told you at the dance I had left the original necklace at home for safety?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You will go without that for which you came?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ You would care for him just the same?"
hvd.hn5pe3	“ Your employ? ” he queried.
hvd.hn1pcd	Sir Philip's mother was a Tressil. ” “ Precisely, your ladyship, precisely, ” said Chidley,that is why May I- er — speak to you a moment?
hvd.hn1pcd	That is what I intend to find out. ” “ What do you mean? hvd.hn1pcd What is it? ” “ I'm afraid I startled you out of a dream, ” he answered.
hvd.hn1pcd	'” “ And you really think that this man Sankey is the man who threatened Mr. Loryat? ” “ I do — unless it was Chidley himself.
hvd.hn1pcd	164 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ What does this mean?
hvd.hn1pcd	228 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 229 “ Who can have dared?
hvd.hn1pcd	34 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ You do n't mind me removing this? ” he said, with a sneer.
hvd.hn1pcd	36 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 37 “ What was the verdict?
hvd.hn1pcd	48 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ Are you Mr. Kentisbury? ” asked a voice.
hvd.hn1pcd	6 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ Is it possible you ai n't'eard, sir? ” he said in a whisper.
hvd.hn1pcd	68 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ You — know? ” she said jerkily.
hvd.hn1pcd	A man must have bread and cheese. ” “ Ah, you've been taughi chat, have you?
hvd.hn1pcd	Am writing fully tonight.- ANCRED. ” “ Well?
hvd.hn1pcd	And Mr. Kentis- bury?
hvd.hn1pcd	And Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	And how did Mrs. Lyte know? ” 142 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ Beryl wrote to her.
hvd.hn1pcd	And of my own free will I gave him up. ” “ Why? ” “ Because I did not love him, ” said Beryl, slowly.
hvd.hn1pcd	And shall I tell you why, Lady Malreward? ” “ Because you are weak and ill, Mr. Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	And the motive, Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	And what did it matter to her, even if he were dead?
hvd.hn1pcd	And what do you expect from the interview?
hvd.hn1pcd	And what has poor Sankey done, may I ask?
hvd.hn1pcd	And why?
hvd.hn1pcd	And would you like it to meet you to- morrow? ” “ Oh no, ” he answered, with a laugh.
hvd.hn1pcd	And you —? ” “ I'm painting pictures — working hard. ” “ H’m, yes.
hvd.hn1pcd	Anything else?
hvd.hn1pcd	Anything happened up at Talbridge? ” “ Nothing."
hvd.hn1pcd	Baildon told you that? ” “ Yes- he did not tell me the truth at first.
hvd.hn1pcd	Because he was afraid of a foolish old man?
hvd.hn1pcd	But I could n't have Mr. Loryat alone, could I?
hvd.hn1pcd	But I will help you in any other way you like. ” “ I'm not good enough for you, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	But Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	But do you know him well?
hvd.hn1pcd	But if you like to purchase a sporting chance of life ” “ What are your terms?
hvd.hn1pcd	But the other man, Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	But there was an ac- complice. ” “ Professor Sankey? ” “ Possibly, but I am not sure of that.
hvd.hn1pcd	But what are you going to do when you reach England?
hvd.hn1pcd	But why does he dye his hair? ” “ Vanity, Mr. Loryat, vanity.
hvd.hn1pcd	By the by, is that a portrait of your husband over the mantelpiece? ” “ Yes, ” Lady Malreward answered in a low voice.
hvd.hn1pcd	By- the- bye, you do n't love Lady Malreward overmuch, do you? ” “ Lady Malreward is one of my oldest friends, ” Mrs. Oldwin replied stiffly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Ca n't you wait for me? ” “ Yes, yes, dear, ” she cried, laying her hand upon his arm and looking up into his face.
hvd.hn1pcd	Can I bring him in?
hvd.hn1pcd	Can he go under sail? ” “ Yes — but very slowly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Can not you help 230 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD me?
hvd.hn1pcd	Chidley's writing, I suppose?
hvd.hn1pcd	Come into this room, will you? ” The detective led the way into one of the rooms facing the valley.
hvd.hn1pcd	Come with me and I'll give you half a sov- ereign. ” “ Where be you goin'to?
hvd.hn1pcd	Could anything have been more opportune? ” “ I suppose that was your work as well — you paid the chauf.
hvd.hn1pcd	Could n't you have asked her to help you? ” “ Yes, if I could have got to her.
hvd.hn1pcd	Did he speak? ” “ No; he never spoke a word, while I was conscious. ” “ Do you suspect who it was? ” asked Baildon.
hvd.hn1pcd	Did he speak? ” “ No; he never spoke a word, while I was conscious. ” “ Do you suspect who it was? ” asked Baildon.
hvd.hn1pcd	Did you find the door to the gallery unlocked? ” “ Yes, of course."
hvd.hn1pcd	Did you know a Mr. Chidley? ” “ Yes, he was half servant, half friend of the late Sir Philip Malreward.
hvd.hn1pcd	Did you know her? ” Ralph Chidley shook his head.
hvd.hn1pcd	Did you know my father?
hvd.hn1pcd	Did you see him then? ” “ Yes. ” THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 87 “ Where? ” “ At the ‘ Den,'Mr. Chidley's house.
hvd.hn1pcd	Did you see him then? ” “ Yes. ” THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 87 “ Where? ” “ At the ‘ Den,'Mr. Chidley's house.
hvd.hn1pcd	Do I make it plain to you, gentlemen?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you grasp the idea?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you know any one she would be likely to visit in the eastern counties? ” “ No one at all, ” Mrs. Lyte replied.
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you know her? ” “ I do, ” he answered grimly, “ and you must not go. ” THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 39 “ I must not go?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you know her? ” “ I do, ” he answered grimly, “ and you must not go. ” THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 39 “ I must not go?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you know who the man was? ” “ No, the light was very bad, and he had a thick mufiler tied round the lower part of his face.
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you mind being alone for a minute, while I have a word with Martin?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you remember? ” “ You can be of no help to me,"he answered quietly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you sleep with your door locked, Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you think it possible that Mr. Kentis- bury could have been warned or threatened — in a similar way?"
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you think you can undo the knots?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you understand?
hvd.hn1pcd	Do you wish me to tell you? ” Loryat turned away and looked at the half- finished picture on the easel, and the detective watched him anxiously.
hvd.hn1pcd	Does Mr. Loryat shoot?
hvd.hn1pcd	Does he know anything about Art? ” “ Not much, ” Mr. Chidley replied, with a laugh; “ but he's no fool- except where Art is concerned.
hvd.hn1pcd	For God's sake, be quick! ” “ What letter? ” he asked sternly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Friend of yours, Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	Go out and help them to bring Mr. Loryat into the house — quick- do you hear me? ” She spoke wildly, almost hysterically.
hvd.hn1pcd	Had Mr. Kentisbury any enemies?
hvd.hn1pcd	Hail some of the others, will you? ” Rayburn picked up the lantern and ran forward, shouting and waving the light over his head.
hvd.hn1pcd	Has Sankey been here?
hvd.hn1pcd	Has she taken anything with her? ” “ Nothing — from here.
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you a photograph of her? ” “ No, I'm afraid I have not, Mr. Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you any plans?
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you brought me any news of Miss Lyte? ” “ News of Miss Lyte?
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you brought me any news of Miss Lyte? ” “ News of Miss Lyte?
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you come to see me? ” “ I heard of this terrible affair in the village.
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you ever done any portraits?
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you got anything to smoke?
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you had tea? ” “ No- I have had nothing since breakfast. ” “ Merciful Heavens! ” cried Lady Malreward.
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you known Mr. Kentisbury long? ” “ Not quite a year. ” “ Ah, indeed.
hvd.hn1pcd	Have you no idea who it was?
hvd.hn1pcd	He be gone by a minute ago. ” “ Gone to your house, eh? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1pcd	He is dead. ” “ You think people would believe that I had murdered him? ” “ You'd have to explain your prophecy — your threat."
hvd.hn1pcd	He made quick work of me. ” “ And you could n't use your revolver? ” “ I could have when I first saw him.
hvd.hn1pcd	He was Sir Philip's devoted friend. ” “ But you?
hvd.hn1pcd	He was given two hundred and fifty pounds for his share in the night's work, and has spent most of it in Paris — quick work that, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	He was to stay there for a year, but he spent all his money in a fortnight. ” “ And what brought you down here? ” Beryl asked timidly.
hvd.hn1pcd	How are all our friends?
hvd.hn1pcd	How can I thank you? ” “ Do n't thank me, Beryl, till you know if they can both come.
hvd.hn1pcd	How can any one have entered the house, watched as it is? ” “ Mr. Baildon is away, ” she answered.
hvd.hn1pcd	How did it happen?
hvd.hn1pcd	How do you like your tea?
hvd.hn1pcd	How is it you've told me nothing about it? ” “ I did not wish you to know, Dick, till it was all set.
hvd.hn1pcd	How long would she be forced to keep it?
hvd.hn1pcd	How should I know where she is?
hvd.hn1pcd	I am afraid. ” “ Of what?
hvd.hn1pcd	I am going as a companion. ” “ As a companion?
hvd.hn1pcd	I am going to find you something else- I have found you something else. ” “ Something that I can do?
hvd.hn1pcd	I am really grateful to you, and, to show my gratitude, I'll remind you of some- thing that you may have forgotten. ” “ What is that?"
hvd.hn1pcd	I could hardly refuse to meet him, could I, seeing that he is paying me to paint some pictures for him?"
hvd.hn1pcd	I did not wish the poor girl to be cast out on the world without a friend. ” “ Then you lied to me, just now? ” he said fiercely.
hvd.hn1pcd	I fancy we are dealing with a man who is likely to give trouble. ” “ A revolver?
hvd.hn1pcd	I have examined the lock. ” “ Is there any other possible means of entrance to the room?
hvd.hn1pcd	I have found out all I wish to find in the neighbourhood. ” “ And in London?
hvd.hn1pcd	I have not been in this room — since my illness. ” “ And the past is coming back to you?
hvd.hn1pcd	I intend to be present at the interview. ” “ How? ” asked Loryat, trying to speak calmly.
hvd.hn1pcd	I ought to be in England. ” “ And what am I to do, pray?"
hvd.hn1pcd	I suppose Sir Philip has mentioned his name to you? ” “ Yes; he used to talk of a man named Sankey, as I think I told you.
hvd.hn1pcd	I suppose you ca n't recall her in the least?"
hvd.hn1pcd	I suppose you have been up to Norton- Malre- ward?"
hvd.hn1pcd	I think she was inclined — well, shall I say, to flirt with you a little? ” Loryat laughed and held out the letter.
hvd.hn1pcd	I told Baildon as much, and he told me I was right. ” “ You told Baildon? ” she gasped.
hvd.hn1pcd	I told him every- thing. ” “ Why do you tell me all this?"
hvd.hn1pcd	I were just sitting quiet — that were all. ” “ What have you found?
hvd.hn1pcd	I'm glad to know that Mr. Loryat is safe and well. ” “ Yes; why should he not be safe and well?
hvd.hn1pcd	I'm there still. ” 196 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ You do n't like the life?
hvd.hn1pcd	I've made most of my own dresses for years — and after that it was typing – or was it the stage?
hvd.hn1pcd	I've seen many a dead man in my time — a nasty fall, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	I've shown her into the small drawing- room. ” “ Did you tell her I was in? ” “ No, m'lady.
hvd.hn1pcd	If this fellow Baildon knows everything?
hvd.hn1pcd	If this man should come here — while I am alone? ” “ There is nothing to fear, ” he answered.
hvd.hn1pcd	If you win, I will pay you the money as long as you live. ” “ And if I lose? ” “ You shall still have the money.
hvd.hn1pcd	In my house? ” cried Dorothy Malre- ward, leaning forward with a look of fear in her eyes.
hvd.hn1pcd	Inspector, what do you make of it?
hvd.hn1pcd	Is any one likely to go in there tonight?
hvd.hn1pcd	Is he alone?
hvd.hn1pcd	Is n't that so? ” “ I appealed to you for mercy, ” said Lady Malreward.
hvd.hn1pcd	Is that so?
hvd.hn1pcd	Is there any news?
hvd.hn1pcd	Is there anything more you'd like to know? ”.
hvd.hn1pcd	Is your revolver all right? ” “ Yes. ” “ Let me have a look at it.
hvd.hn1pcd	Kentisbury? ” “ Yes, that is his name.
hvd.hn1pcd	Let us go back to Mrs. Seton. ” “ Can you not wait, ” he asked, “ till the sun has set?
hvd.hn1pcd	May I ask what your plans are for the future? ” “ I have no plans,"she answered.
hvd.hn1pcd	May I be allowed to tell you exactly what did happen — according to Mr. Loryat? ” She clenched her hands till the nails bit deep into the palms.
hvd.hn1pcd	May I have a few words with Lady Malreward? ” “ I will tell her you are ready, sir."
hvd.hn1pcd	May I make an offer to you? ” She nodded, and then closed her eyes, as if weary of the conversation.
hvd.hn1pcd	May I sit down and have a chat with you?
hvd.hn1pcd	May I try the experiment?
hvd.hn1pcd	May your motor take me to the station? ” “ With pleasure.
hvd.hn1pcd	Mr. Chidley has gone abroad, has he not? ” “ Yes, for a little while."
hvd.hn1pcd	Mr. Chidley, Mr. Loryat is badly hurt — will you please see what has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	Mr. Loryat is unconscious, but he's hardly cut about at all. ” “ Where – is he?
hvd.hn1pcd	My dear Mr. Loryat, whatever should I know about Beryl?
hvd.hn1pcd	Nearly all the rest of the room would have offered an easier target. ” “ What are you going to do?
hvd.hn1pcd	Now I have a proposition to make to you- one, I think, that will serve us both. ” “ What is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	Now can we have a talk together? ” Loryat did not answer, but, going into the bedroom, closed the window and bolted it.
hvd.hn1pcd	Now, what are we to do?
hvd.hn1pcd	Nurse, you will see to the moving, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1pcd	Of whom?
hvd.hn1pcd	Oh, I am sorry for you — and I thought — as you were getting on so well-"“ Will you tell me nothing? ” he interrupted harshly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Oldwin? ” he queried.
hvd.hn1pcd	One, to Lady Malreward, ran as follows:- “ What has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	Other witnesses downstairs, I suppose? ” “ Yes. ” “ I will see them later, ” he said quickly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Others told the story — not I. ” “ Would you shield yourself behind that?
hvd.hn1pcd	Otherwise I shall say nothing till the inquest. ” “ I have reasons to believe that it was not suicide. ” “ What reasons? ” asked Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	Ralph Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	Shall I go down into the village?
hvd.hn1pcd	Shall I show him in? ” Loryat looked at Baildon, as though asking for advice.
hvd.hn1pcd	Shall I show you your room?
hvd.hn1pcd	Shall I take a lantern?
hvd.hn1pcd	Shall we leave the body here, and give information to the police, or shall we try to take it into the house?
hvd.hn1pcd	She lives very far away — at a place called Norton- Malreward. ” “ At Norton- Malreward? ” he queried sharply.
hvd.hn1pcd	She's fitted with a mast. ” “ He took plenty of food on board?
hvd.hn1pcd	So you want the envelope?
hvd.hn1pcd	Swear to me that you will say nothing. ” “ Why should I say anything about it?

hvd.hn1pcd	THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 81 “ Shall I lock the place up?
hvd.hn1pcd	That is a cruel law of nature, Miss Lyte, but it is one that prevails. ” “ Then I am to go?
hvd.hn1pcd	That is so, is n't it? ” “ That is certainly the case, Mr.
hvd.hn1pcd	That was it, was n't it?
hvd.hn1pcd	The fact that I am willing to consent to such an arrangement"“ Consent?
hvd.hn1pcd	The place has been left to him. ” “ In the other will?
hvd.hn1pcd	The promise was not made to the dead. ” “ Was it not? ” asked Kentisbury, quietly.
hvd.hn1pcd	Then, you do believe I killed him — to get the letter- for Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	They've gone out 304 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 305 acrost the sand to see if the tide be gone down enough for us to walk out. ” “ Walk out?
hvd.hn1pcd	This letter you speak of — was it found on Mr. Loryat? ” “ No, m'lady, I ca n't say as it were.
hvd.hn1pcd	Was it not for this that she had striven, and fought, and planned?
hvd.hn1pcd	Was it not only another step to freedom?
hvd.hn1pcd	Was it the live mouse that frightened you, or the dead one?
hvd.hn1pcd	Was there a bowl of carnations- a long mullioned window?
hvd.hn1pcd	We can get a man for thirty shillings a week to do what you do. ” “ Anything else, Mr. Cane? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1pcd	We've a long night before us. ” “ A long night? ” “ Yes, we are going to spend the night in the'Den. ” “ H'm, that's cheerful.
hvd.hn1pcd	Well, this is quite a nice little party, is n't it?
hvd.hn1pcd	Well, what else?
hvd.hn1pcd	What about him?"
hvd.hn1pcd	What are his movements?
hvd.hn1pcd	What are you going to pay?
hvd.hn1pcd	What are you talking about? ” “ If you are wise, you will not go to Malreward, ” Chidley continued.
hvd.hn1pcd	What be us to do, sir? ” “ Join the others, ” Loryat replied.
hvd.hn1pcd	What brings your ladyship here? ” Lady Malreward explained, and briefly told her story.
hvd.hn1pcd	What can you expect from any man who respects himself?
hvd.hn1pcd	What did he say?
hvd.hn1pcd	What do I care about things in the abstract?
hvd.hn1pcd	What do you know about it, Mr. Loryat? ” “ Only what you tell me, ” he answered in a hard voice.
hvd.hn1pcd	What do you want me to do? ” “ I want you to put on an old suit of clothes, and leave here shortly before dark.
hvd.hn1pcd	What do you want? ” “ Is your ladyship well enough to move from here? ” “ Move?

hvd.hn1pcd	What has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	What has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	What have you to say, Miss Lyte?
hvd.hn1pcd	What have you to say?"
hvd.hn1pcd	What is the matter, Lady Malreward?"
hvd.hn1pcd	What is the matter, dear?
hvd.hn1pcd	What is the matter? ” “ Nothing, Dick, ” she whispered.
hvd.hn1pcd	What more can a woman desire?
hvd.hn1pcd	What telegram, Mrs. Lyte?
hvd.hn1pcd	What was it Sir Arthur said about association?

hvd.hn1pcd	Where have we come to?"
hvd.hn1pcd	Where is Chidley? ” “ Still in London, my young friend.
hvd.hn1pcd	Where is Dr. Renfrew? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	Where is Lady Malreward? ” The answer was given by the appearance of Lady Mal.
hvd.hn1pcd	Where? ” “ Mother insists on my going, ” said Beryl.
hvd.hn1pcd	Who is going to look after you? ” “ I can look after myself, Mrs. Seton.
hvd.hn1pcd	Who is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	Who is it? ” “ Mr.

hvd.hn1pcd	Who told you of the accident?
hvd.hn1pcd	Who was here disguised as Archibald Jones, the gardener? ” “ Our friend, Mr. Sankey, ” the detective replied.
hvd.hn1pcd	Why are you look- ing at me like that? ” “ I was trying to see if I could remember you, ” Loryat answered mechanically.
hvd.hn1pcd	Why are you so late?
hvd.hn1pcd	Why do n't you ask him to come and stay here? ” “ Oh, Lady Malreward- how kind of you! ” “ Kind?
hvd.hn1pcd	Why do n't you ask him to come and stay here? ” “ Oh, Lady Malreward- how kind of you! ” “ Kind?
hvd.hn1pcd	Why do you ask?"
hvd.hn1pcd	Why do you look at me like that? ” She had gripped a chair for support, and was staring at him with a white, horror- stricken face.
hvd.hn1pcd	Why not?
hvd.hn1pcd	Why not? ” Lady Malreward rose to her feet, and laid one hand on the mantelpiece to steady herself.
hvd.hn1pcd	Why should I?
hvd.hn1pcd	Why should I? ” “ The fact remains.

hvd.hn1pcd	With me?
hvd.hn1pcd	With whom are you going to stay?
hvd.hn1pcd	Would you rather have some champagne? ” “ Oh, no, thank you, ” the girl sobbed.
hvd.hn1pcd	Yet how timely, how complete?
hvd.hn1pcd	You are already beginning to remember a little, are you not?
hvd.hn1pcd	You can not help me. ” “ You will not take me with you? ” “ No, it would be impossible.
hvd.hn1pcd	You do n't believe in ghosts, do you? ” “ No- o, sir, ” the man stammered.
hvd.hn1pcd	You have eight, THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 207 have n't you?
hvd.hn1pcd	You have my address, have n't you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1pcd	You may get into trouble over this business. ” “ I?
hvd.hn1pcd	You must go after him, and get it from him. ” “ How? ” he queried, mechanically.
hvd.hn1pcd	You really believe that Mr. Loryat would murder a man who had never done him any wrong, for no conceivable reason whatever?
hvd.hn1pcd	You were with Lady Malreward, I believe, for some time? ” “ Yes, ” Beryl answered faintly.
hvd.hn1pcd	You've got a fire, of course?

hvd.hn1pcd	tered, “ very strange. ” “ Tressil?
hvd.hn1pcd	thing that would help Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	tled. ” “ You knew I would not approve, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	wiches — which will you have, Beryl?
hvd.hn1pcd	you do n't think I killed him?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ A con- stable is still in the room. ” “ Has he been there all the time? ” asked the inspector.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ A curious thing to find here, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ A friend of mine — from whom I fled?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ A premonition, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ A trap has been laid for you, and you are about to fall into it. ” “ A trap?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ About Beryl?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ After Chidley?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Ah, and you here, my lady, and you, too, Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ An accident, eh? ” queried Chidley.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ An odd character, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And Chidley? ” 156 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD “ I believe he is well. ” Mr. Baildon folded his arms and looked sternly at the young man's face.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And Miss Lyte? ” he added.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And Mr. Chidley? ” “ Yes, m'lady.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And Sir Philip? ” asked Kentisbury.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And if I am ar- rested, ” he said quietly, “ before I get away?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And nothing else? ” “ No,"answered the lawyer.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And so you tried to frighten Mr. Kentisbury with sheer nonsense? ” “ It was not altogether that, Mr. Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And the woman?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And the ‘ Den ’ is shut up? ” “ Yes, I know the servants have been dismissed."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And then?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And was it that gentleman who spoke to me? ” “ Perhaps.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And what's the next move now?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And why did he not fulfil his threat?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And you think he is the man you want?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ And you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Any marks?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Any that you know of?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Archibald Jones, ” she repeated mechanically, and then, for the sake of appearances, she added, “ What does he want?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you a friend of Mr. Chidley? ” “ No- I am certainly not that."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you a native of this place?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you certain?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you go- ing to see what has happened, or must I go myself?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you ill, Mr. Loryat? ” she said, coming quickly to his side.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you there, old chap?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Are you waiting for that when a man's life is at stake? ” “ Aye, ” the sailor answered grimly, “ we be waitin'for that.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Asleep, eh? ” he said sharply, as the man rose to his feet and blinked his eyes.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ At the ‘ Majestic,'eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Badly hurt?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Because you still love Richard Loryat? ” “ Yes, ” the girl whispered.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Beryl Lyte?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Beryl has left here? ” “ Yes, ” cried Mrs. Lyte, angrily.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Beryl, ” he cried fiercely, “ what do you mean?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Borneo?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Broke it open?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ But ca n't you imagine a case where a woman would be justified in throwing everything — even honour — to the four winds of heaven?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ But not an enemy, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Ca n't have a fire, I suppose? ” “ Not just yet, Hughes, but presently perhaps.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Ca n't you trust me?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Can I come in? ” he asked, “ or would you rather I talked to you downstairs?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Can I come in? ” he asked, “ or would you rather I talked to you downstairs?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Can I show the picture to Mr. Loryat, nurse? ” she asked after a pause.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Can you? ” “ Yes, dimly, but I always see you with a closely cropped white beard. ” “ Ah, you remember the early days of our acquaintance.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Dead? ” she echoed.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Dick Loryat is not that sort of man at all. ” “ Why do you wish me not to make this promise?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Did you enjoy your dinner last night? ” asked Lady Malreward, as she entered the studio and shook hands with Mr. Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Did you hear it? ” “ Of course I heard it, or I should n't be here. ” the passa the lio, the patroment, card.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Did you hear me, Mr. Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Did you tell Evans or any one where you were to be found? ” THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD 237 “ No, I did not. ” “ That's good.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do n't you believe me?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you know Mr. Chidley, ” he said to Baildon, “ from Norton? ” “ I have not that pleasure,"the detective replied with a smile.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you know anything about this man Sankey?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you know the contents?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you know what the clue is?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you like him?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you mean that he will be an idiot — a maniac? ” “ Oh, no, ” he said, with a faint smile “ Nothing so bad as that.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you mean that there is something you wish to keep from me?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you say you have only just returned from London? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you think I shall be unhappy? ” “ Lady Malreward is young and a very beautiful woman,"he replied.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you think there would be any harm?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Do you want to start at once? ” “ In ten minutes'time, if it is possible.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Does Mr. Loryat know? ” she asked, after a pause.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Early breakfast, eh? ” said Loryat, as he paused outside Kentisbury's bedroom.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Excellently done- one could almost fancy those eyes were looking one through and through. ” “ Why did you ask? ” Lady Malreward repeated.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ For the best, Mr. Baildon? ” Lady Malreward exclaimed furiously.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Good- bye, Mr. Chidley, ” she said in a low voice; “ you wo n't forget to come and see me now and then, will you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Great Scott, Lady Malrewa.d, what has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Has Mr. Jesson gone?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Has any one ever heard the gentleman's voice?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Has anybody been in there at all?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Has she written to you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Have you ever heard of the White Horseman? ” he asked at dinner that night.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Have you known Mr. Kentisbury long? ” asked the cor- oner, and it was noticeable that his whole voice and attitude had changed.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Have you moved this ladder lately?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Have you no duty to me? ” “ Yes, ” the girl answered humbly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ He b’ain't dead? ” Rayburn queried as Loryat examined the body.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ He has gone to London — by the 11.25. ” “ His address?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ He will ask many questions — you — you will keep my secret?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Heard what? ” “ Of Sir Philip's death, sir.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How dare you insult Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How did Sankey know? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How did you get here? ” the inspector queried sharply."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How did you get the information?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How is Dick?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How is Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ How much? ” “ Three thousand pounds down, or two hundred and fifty pounds a year. ” “ You shall have the latter.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I am going to see Professor Sankey tonight. ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I heard you, ” he answered quietly, “ but surely you do not intend to have Mr. Loryat brought into your house, Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I know that I ought to be there. ” “ Can you give any evidence in his favour?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I look a horrible ruffian, nurse, do n't l? ” “ No, indeed, ” she replied.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I must go back to England. ” “ Go back to England?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I think we have met before. ” “ Did you say your name was Loryat, sir?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I trusted to your honour. ” “ Well, have I not done what you wished?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I went to the station to warn you. ” “ To warn me?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I will do all I can for you. ” “ I should like to stay here — at Norton- Malreward. ” “ Here?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I will not let a lie go unchallenged. ” “ Who are you? ” snapped out the coroner.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I wonder what it was that Sankey said to Dick last night? ” she thought.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I've not wasted any time, ” said Mr. Baildon, grimly,"as you may observe. ” “ Have you found anything?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ I- I'm going away tomorrow. ” “ Going away?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ If they were to injure a hair of your head,"she cried passionately, “ if they — ” “ Who is it, Dorothy?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ If you please, my lady, may Mr. Chidley speak to you? ” “ Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ If you please, my lady, may Mr. Chidley speak to you? ” “ Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ In — that room?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is he still abroad?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is her ladyship at home?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is she old, and sour, and bad- tempered?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is that all?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is that all?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is that the only reason?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is that you, Greening? ” The man did not turn, and Loryat fancied that the speed of the car increased.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is that you, Hughes? ” a voice whispered.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is the injury serious?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is there any news?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Is this all you wished to say, Mr. Chidley? ”.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ It is not yet dark. ” “ Have you forgotten your promise, Beryl?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ It is only four o'clock, and I can get to Norton- Malreward in time to dress for dinner. ” “ Walk, my dear fellow?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ It was Harold, was n't it? ” “ Yes, ” said the girl, faintly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ It was n't less than a week ago? ” “ No, it was n't less, but may be it were more. ” “ Thank you.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ It was not necessary to tell that to the servant, was it? ” “ Please sit down, Mr. Baildon.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Janet, ” he cried in amazement, “ what on earth brings you here? ” “ I want to save you, ” Mrs. Oldwin whispered.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Locked, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ May I come up to Norton- Malreward with you now? ” 111 112 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD She nodded, and he stepped into the carriage.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ May I give you a bit of advice, my child?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ May I have one of those sandwiches?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ May I speak to you, m'lady? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ May my friend read it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Mind, my dear child?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Murdered? ” “ Perhaps.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Must not?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ My dear lover, ” she cried passionately,"have n't they told you that you are the man? ” “ That I am the man?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ My dear lover, ” she cried passionately,"have n't they told you that you are the man? ” “ That I am the man?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Neck broken?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Need I answer that question?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ No one has touched the gun? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Now, Martin, ” said the young artist, “ what is all this nonsense about ghosts?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Oh, Mr. Loryat, I suppose? ” There was a change in Lady Malreward's voice as she spoke, and it did not escape Beryl's notice.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Oh, have you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Oh, that is your game, is it?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Oh, that's you, is it? ” he said, raising himself up on one elbow.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Oh, you changed the name, did you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ On what business?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Only a few days more, and then freedom,"she thought; “ only a few weeks more, and then"244 THE SHADOW OF MALREWARD What then?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Paint his pictures? ”"No.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Sankey is a man who knows many things. ” “ You did not tell him? ” “ I did not, ” Chidley replied.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Shall I stop him, sir?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Shall we sit down and talk for a few minutes?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Sir Philip Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Supposing any one were watching us? ” And he looked round the circle of light, trying to pierce the darkness beyond.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ The White Horseman?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ The White Horseman? ” “ I'm not a fool, Mr. Chidley.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ The brandy is no use, nor the water either. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Quite sure, Mr. Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ The idea, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ The son of Alexander Loryat of Paynesworthy? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ The studio, ” he said quickly,"was I right?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Then he put you in the ammunition store?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Then if I were tempted,"she persisted, “ and sinned with my eyes open, I should be held blameless — by the world?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Then if we marry we wrong no one? ” he cried passion- ately.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Then who was here last night?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Then why did you bring me here?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Then you have had no food to- day?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ There is nothing more to be said, is there?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Those cockney fellows are funny when they try to imitate the old- fashioned landlord of a village inn — well, what do you say to bed?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ To meet Mr. Sankey?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Trouble of some sort, I suppose? ” “ Not that I know of. ” After this brief conversation neither of the two men spoke to each other again.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Was it true then — that you took something- from that room?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Was the key in it? ” “ I did n't notice."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ We're not making for the other two men, are we? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well, Martin, ” she asked, “ what is it? ” “ Miss Lyte has called to see you, m'lady.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well, Mr. Baildon?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well, what is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Well? ” she queried with a smile.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What am I to believe?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What are they? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What are we to do, sir? ” The butler's voice broke in upon his thoughts, and he turned sharply away from the window.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What are you doing here? ” he asked slowly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What are you doing here? ” “ In me, ” the detective replied, “ you behold the entire staff of this house.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What are you going to do?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What are you “ Where are you going? ” he asked sternly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What brings you here? ” he asked pleasantly, and he held out his hand.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What brings you so far from Norton- Malreward at this time of night?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What can I do for you? ” “ Shut the door,"she whispered.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you mean by it, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you mean, Dick? ” “ I- I do n't think you'd like Lady Malreward, ” he stam- mered.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you mean, sir? ” “ I mean that the man was a knave or a fool. ” “ Sir! ” exclaimed Chidley, angrily.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you mean? ” “ Well, that little scene in the court- after poor Kentis- bury's death.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you mean? ” “ You must not go to Norton- Malreward, Mr.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you think of it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you want me to do? ” Lady Malreward asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you want with me? ” There was no reply.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you want?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you want? ” he asked testily.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you want? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has happened to him? ” she thought.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has happened?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has it to do with poor Kentisbury's death? ” “ Nothing — nothing! ” she cried piteously.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has this man been doing — what has he been saying? ” “ Nothing?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What has this man been doing — what has he been saying? ” “ Nothing?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What have you got to say now?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it that you want?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it you want with me? ” Mr. Baildon was thoroughly astonished.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it, Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it, Mrs. Burt?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it, dear? ” he asked tenderly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it? ” he asked under his breath.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is it? ” “ Lady Malreward wishes to know if she can come and see you, ” the nurse answered somewhat sharply.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is that?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is that? ” he asked gravely.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is the matter? ” “ Nothing, nothing, Lady Malreward.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is the matter? ” “ There is a man lying in the road close here- he's very bad.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What is the meaning of this? ” he asked sternly. “ Gen- tlemen, you forget that this is a private house.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What time did Lady Malreward leave in motor?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What was it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What was the meaning of that tomfoolery the evening I arrived?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What — what has happened?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What's the news? ” “ First rate — could n't be better. ” “ Anything definite? ” “ Yes, certainly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What's the news? ” “ First rate — could n't be better. ” “ Anything definite? ” “ Yes, certainly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ What's wrong? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Whatever induced you to walk all the way from the sta- tion? ”"I was cold, ” he replied,"and I wanted exercise.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ When did this come? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ When did you last use it? ” “ A week ago, but I'll no say for certain."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where are we?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where are you going to, Beryl?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where be you goin', sir? ” the man cried.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where is he now? ” “ Up at the'Den.'
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where is the doctor, Martin?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where the devil is that tobacco pouch?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Where? ” “ Back to Norton- Malreward. ” “ No,"she said decisively; “ nothing would induce me to return to Norton- Malreward.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who are you, and what do you want? ” Loryat turned on his heels, and saw Mr. Ralph Chidley standing in the doorway.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who are you? ” he cried aloud in terror.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who are you? ” repeated the inspector, “ and what do you want? ” Mr. Chidley came forward with a grim, white face.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who are you? ” repeated the inspector, “ and what do you want? ” Mr. Chidley came forward with a grim, white face.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who dares to interrupt the court like that? ” “ I dare, ” the voice answered.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who is that?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who is that? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who is that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who is your friend? ” he asked Chidley, when the stranger had left them.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who it that?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who killed it? ” he asked after a pause.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Who the deuce is ho?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Whose portrait is it?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Whose then? ” “ I should not care to say until I am sure.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why did you leave Norton- Malreward? ” Mrs. Seton asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why did you not tell me this?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why did you run away from me?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why did you scream, Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why do you laugh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why must you go, Beryl? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why not?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why should I bear you ill- will, Mr. Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why was the gun here? ” he asked, coming to a stand.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why, Dick? ” “ Because I- because I want you here in London with me."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Why?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will the chauffeur do? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you come outside with me?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you come upstairs with me? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you explain it? ” “ I spoke hastily, ” said the woman.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you explain? ” “ Firstly, we've got to cut down expenses.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you go of your own accord?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you have a drink?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you have anything? ” “ No, thank you, my lady.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you kindly hold it? ” Then he ascended slowly, rung after rung, with the lantern in his hand.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you stay here and help me to put the room straight?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you step this way, sir, please? ” he said, and he led the way up a great marble staircase and along a wide, softly- carpeted corridor.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you step this way?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Will you tell me now? ” “ Yes, I must tell you now, ” she said, keeping her eyes fixed on the ground, “ if you can not guess."
hvd.hn1pcd	“ With what? ” Chidley picked up a piece of the lid of a broken box from the floor.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Would n't you rather go indoors, Mr. Loryat?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Yer ai n't fallin'asleep, are yer?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Yes, I knew that. ” “ Did he give any reason?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Yes, I want a portrait of Lady Malreward painted. ” “ Of Lady Malreward? ” Loryat exclaimed.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Yes, Martin- what is it?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Yes, Mr. Baildon"“ Oh, he has told you, has he?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Yes, and then? ” “ Then you must kill me “ You talk like a maniac, ” Loryat said quietly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You ai n't asleep, are yer?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You are a friend of Mr. Kentisbury?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You are a friend of your master's enemy? ” Mr. Chidley pressed the tips of his fingers together and smiled.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You are going to Lady Malreward?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You are my friend, are you not?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You do n't deny that it is true? ” “ I ca n't deny it, Mr. Loryat,"the old man answered quietly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You do n't like her?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You do n't mind very much, dear, do you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You do n't think it is good?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You got my telegram? ” she cried, without a word of formal greeting.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You have come to see Lady Malreward?

hvd.hn1pcd	“ You have n't seen the inspector, have you? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You have news?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You have no reason to think otherwise, have you? ” “ None whatever, ” the old man replied, and he glanced at Loryat.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You knew that Mr. Kentisbury had ordered his gun to be sent up to his bedroom?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You know what has happened? ” The woman's face changed; the look of welcome died away, and gave place to a gleam of fury in the dark eyes.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You know where Lady Malreward is? ” Beryl repeated in a voice of horror, “ And you say that she could save him?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You know where Lady Malreward is? ” Beryl repeated in a voice of horror, “ And you say that she could save him?"
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You realize what has happened tonight? ” he said after a pause.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You recognize the writing?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You say you went to meet me at the station? ” he queried abruptly.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You state that Mr. Kentisbury had an unfortunate love affair, and that it may have preyed upon his mind? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You think she has been frightened enough, eh?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You want a portrait painted?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You will say nothing of what I have told you today?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You wish to see me? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You — you do n't mind, do you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You'eard it-'er ladyship ’s voice? ” Kentisbury thrust him aside and entered the house.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You're not going yet, Baildon, are you?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You've touched nothing? ” he asked, in a low voice; “ you've moved nothing? ” “ Nothing, sir, ” said Edwards.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You've touched nothing? ” he asked, in a low voice; “ you've moved nothing? ” “ Nothing, sir, ” said Edwards.
hvd.hn1pcd	“ You, whom I believed to be an honourable gentleman?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Your answer?
hvd.hn1pcd	“ Your name?
hvd.hn1pcd	” Mr. Baildon continued,"or would you rather go home?

hvd.hn1pcd	” she said quietly, “ a little too anxious for promotion?
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ A door there is, but I'll no say whether it were locked last night. ” “ Does any one in the house know where the ladder is kept?
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ Murder. ” “ By Ralph Chidley?
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ No; I live in London. ” “ Why are you here? ” “ I came to see Lady Malreward."
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ What do you want?
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ What secret, Lady Malreward? ” “ The will — and my promise.
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ Yes, why not?
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ Yes; he said he was afraid of being attacked. ” “ By whom?"
hvd.hn1pcd	” “ You — you think that I killed him. ” “ What am I to think?
hvd.hn1tlp	; “ How is that? ”'questioned the attorney, at the same time smiling broadly at his companions. hvd.hn1tlp And I?"
hvd.hn1tlp	And which course would you pursue in that event?'' hvd.hn1tlp Say, what will you do about him?
hvd.hn1tlp	So Merrick is back! ” interposed Mr. Sutherland; laughing. “ Did you and he meet? ” “ Meet, sir? hvd.hn1tlp So Merrick is back! ” interposed Mr. Sutherland; laughing. “ Did you and he meet? ” “ Meet, sir?
hvd.hn1tlp	Then, under your mother's orders, you went to the city on your second trip, did you not?' hvd.hn1tlp Was Mr. Scott already up when Mr. Whitney called him? ” the coroner inquired, quickly.
hvd.hn1tlp	Well, my friend, what do you know?
hvd.hn1tlp	Were you up- stairs soon after the alarm was given?'' hvd.hn1tlp What do you think of that, my dear sir?
hvd.hn1tlp	What reason? hvd.hn1tlp What would you say, Dr. Westlake? ” “ That would be my judgment, also."
hvd.hn1tlp	Where would you be to- night?
hvd.hn1tlp	Who had keys to fit these locks?'' hvd.hn1tlp Will that statement be of any assistance to you, do you think?'

hvd.hn1tlp	76 THE WEAVING OF THE WEB “ Can you describe the person who aceompanied him? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	79 THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR “ No, sir. ” “ You knew nothing of what had occurred at the house until the gardener told you in the morning?"
hvd.hn1tlp	After summoning Mr. Whitney, did you call any other members of the household?"
hvd.hn1tlp	An'I says to myse'f, Mose, yoh ole fool, what you stan'in'heah foh?
hvd.hn1tlp	And if so, what? ” Mr. Whitney gazed dubiously at the detective for a moment, then began to whistle softly, while he slowly shook his head.
hvd.hn1tlp	And that look; where have I seen it?
hvd.hn1tlp	And you heard her accuse him of being an accessory?
hvd.hn1tlp	Are you a good sailor?

hvd.hn1tlp	But how about your son, Walter; do you not love him? ”'“ Him! ” she exclaimed, passionately;"the price I paid hoping to win Hugh Mainwaring!
hvd.hn1tlp	But if this were indeed his name, what had been his object in assuming the rôle of Scott, the secretary?
hvd.hn1tlp	But where will I find it?
hvd.hn1tlp	But why do you speak as though there were a possibility of defeat or failure?
hvd.hn1tlp	But, if I may ask, why do n't you bag your game? ”'.
hvd.hn1tlp	By the way, did Walter go with the others, or did he remain at home?"
hvd.hn1tlp	By the way, sir, have I met you at the Clifton?
hvd.hn1tlp	By whom?
hvd.hn1tlp	Correct, I presume? ” “ Quite so,"said Miss Carleton, quietly.
hvd.hn1tlp	Did he throw anything into the lake?
hvd.hn1tlp	Did you recognize me?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Do n't you think so?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Do you consider Mrs. LaGrange or Hobson capable of planning and carrying out an affair so adroitly as that?''
hvd.hn1tlp	Do you dare insinuate to your own mother- “ Why do n't you call me Walter Mainwaring? ” he sneered.
hvd.hn1tlp	Do you know what you are saying?
hvd.hn1tlp	Do you remain here long? ” “ I can not say at present; depends entirely upon busi- ness, you understand. ” “ I see.
hvd.hn1tlp	Do you think Hobson took them? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1tlp	Do you want to know,'says he,'who you've been enter- taining?
hvd.hn1tlp	Going to the city?!'
hvd.hn1tlp	Had Hugh Mainwaring a brother? ” Scott asked in surprise."
hvd.hn1tlp	Had he really a brother?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	Has he ever reminded you of any one?
hvd.hn1tlp	Have you seen this remarkable individual? ” “ I believe no one in this country has seen him as yet, sir.
hvd.hn1tlp	He's all right, is n't he? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	Hobson's call occasioned considerable comment at luncheon, did it not?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Hobson, will you describe the man who accom- panied you when you called in the evening, Wednesday? ” “ I could give you a general description.
hvd.hn1tlp	How are the ladies?
hvd.hn1tlp	How do you find busi- ness in your line? ” Mr. Rosenbaum shook his head with a slight shrug.
hvd.hn1tlp	How's the case coming on, sir? ” he added, as the attorney turned quickly towards the hall.
hvd.hn1tlp	Hugh and Edith Thornton? ” She laughed again, a wonderfully musical, rippling laugh, the attorney thought.
hvd.hn1tlp	I 20 SKIRMISHING “ What do you know about this Brown? ”'inquired Mr. Mainwaring, addressing the boy.
hvd.hn1tlp	I am proud of him as my own flesh and blood, but love him?
hvd.hn1tlp	I an impostor?
hvd.hn1tlp	I have occasionally met him on the street. ” “ Did Mr. Mainwaring see you at any of these times?"
hvd.hn1tlp	I knew of the marked resemblance between them, and at once questioned, How had that interview ended?
hvd.hn1tlp	I knew that he was present, but he remained in the shadow, and I took no notice of him whatever. ” “ Your contract, then, was a verbal one?''
hvd.hn1tlp	I only know that Mr. Mainwaring had, years ago, some important private business with this man. ” “ Will you state the nature of this business?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	I spent the entire evening in my own room. ” “ When did you again see Mr. Mainwaring? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	I'll acknowledge I'm not prepared to say how or when she secured them. ” “ Could she open the safe?!!.
hvd.hn1tlp	Is he a guest of your house?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Is he another Hobson? ” Mr. Whitney shook his head significantly.
hvd.hn1tlp	Is he stopping there? ” “ He evidently was this morning.
hvd.hn1tlp	LaGrange, at what hour did you last see Hugh Mainwaring? ” She was about to reply, when Scott entered from the tower- room.
hvd.hn1tlp	Mainwaring, is your father in? ”'the attorney in- quired, hastily.
hvd.hn1tlp	Mainwaring, ” said the attorney, “ are you willing to state the reasons for such an extraordinary proceeding on his part?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	Mainwaring? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	May I inquire your business, sir?
hvd.hn1tlp	Mr. Mainwaring quickly recovered himself and replied, deliberately, “ Richard Hobson, the attorney?
hvd.hn1tlp	Mr. Scott, ” resumed the coroner, “ were you in Mr. Mainwaring's private library at any time during last even- ing? ” “ I was not.
hvd.hn1tlp	No, sir. ” “ Was there any one in his rooms? ”'“ The housekeeper was in the library.
hvd.hn1tlp	Now there is my theory of this whole affair; what do you think of it? ”'“ Very ingeniously put together!
hvd.hn1tlp	Now, sir, do you mean to tell me, in the face of all this, that Barton& Barton are retained by this mushroom claimant, whoever he is?
hvd.hn1tlp	Now, the question is, where do we come in?
hvd.hn1tlp	Now, what does she do?
hvd.hn1tlp	Or do you propose to live upon her fortune?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	Or should he hold it for a few days and await developments?
hvd.hn1tlp	Or, is he afraid that I know his secret, and that I may deprive him of his hold upon the Mainwarings?
hvd.hn1tlp	Rosenbaum?
hvd.hn1tlp	Scott 128 THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR Hobson started, and inquired quickly, “ Are you familiar with English law?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	Scott was dressed, was he?"'
hvd.hn1tlp	Scott, you are a mystery! ” “ Why so, Miss Carleton, if you please? ” he asked, quickly.
hvd.hn1tlp	Scott, ” said the coroner,"what were the relations existing between Mr. Mainwaring and yourself up to the time of his death?".
hvd.hn1tlp	Shall we have a stormy passage, do you think? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	Shall you watch him? ” Mr. Whitney called after the vanishing figure.
hvd.hn1tlp	She evi- dently was very angry with Mr, Mainwaring. ” 64 A BATTLE ROYAL “ Can you repeat her words as you heard them? ”'“ Not entirely.
hvd.hn1tlp	Should he let his employer know at once of the proof which he now held against him?
hvd.hn1tlp	Should he not be present? ” “ My “ clerk!
hvd.hn1tlp	Should he open that?
hvd.hn1tlp	That is, can you recall any one whom he resembles? ”"Well, I should say there was a marked resemblance.
hvd.hn1tlp	The result of this demand Mr. Higgenbotham has already told you. ” “ How was Hobson to secure for you your rights from Hugh Mainwaring?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Then added, gently, “ Would it be strong enough to stand a far heavier strain than that, if it were necessary?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	There are but two contingencies in this connection that I regret. ” “ And those are what? ”'the younger man questioned eagerly.
hvd.hn1tlp	Think it will be rough?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Was it in the lake, also? ” The detective nodded affirmatively, and Mr. Whitney ex- amined the weapon in some perplexity.
hvd.hn1tlp	Was that Carroll or Carruthers?
hvd.hn1tlp	Was that all you saw?''
hvd.hn1tlp	What about the jewels?
hvd.hn1tlp	What can I do for you, Mr. Carruthers? ” “ Will you inform me, Mr. Scott, of the earliest hour at which I can see Mr. Mainwaring?
hvd.hn1tlp	What can I do for you, Mr. Carruthers? ” “ Will you inform me, Mr. Scott, of the earliest hour at which I can see Mr. Mainwaring?
hvd.hn1tlp	What could it mean?
hvd.hn1tlp	What did it mean?
hvd.hn1tlp	What do you think of that young man, anyway?
hvd.hn1tlp	What do you think of that? ” and he handed the despatch to Mr. Sutherland.
hvd.hn1tlp	What do you think, Mainwaring?
hvd.hn1tlp	What do you want? ” he asked, as she looked at him without speaking.
hvd.hn1tlp	What friends are you entertaining here in these quarters?'
hvd.hn1tlp	What is your opinion now, Mr. Whitney, regarding a robbery in connection with this case? ”'.
hvd.hn1tlp	What luck to- night?"
hvd.hn1tlp	What of him? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	What should be done with it?
hvd.hn1tlp	What would her answer have been?
hvd.hn1tlp	When will that come off?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	Which was genuine and which assumed?
hvd.hn1tlp	Whitney, do you identify the dead man as Hugh Mainwaring?"
hvd.hn1tlp	Whitney, what is your opinion of Mrs. LaGrange's story of a private marriage? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	Who could tell?
hvd.hn1tlp	Who was the man that Brown saw standing beside the lake just before three o'clock in the morning, and what was he doing?
hvd.hn1tlp	Who was the mur- derer?
hvd.hn1tlp	Who was the murdered man?
hvd.hn1tlp	Why did he not recognize me as such?
hvd.hn1tlp	Why do you ask? ” “ I was thinking that if they or their heirs were living, it would be better to go to them with this information.
hvd.hn1tlp	Why do you think that? ” “ I do not think it, I know it, and was confident of it while we were making the examination this morning.
hvd.hn1tlp	Why?
hvd.hn1tlp	Will you kindly describe Mr. Mannering? ” The woman hesitated, eying him suspiciously.
hvd.hn1tlp	Would not his use of such terms imply that he was addressing one whom he con- sidered a stranger and unacquainted with the facts in the case? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	You and I were distantly related to Hugh Mainwaring, but what chance would we have against these people with no more of a claim than ours?
hvd.hn1tlp	You mean he was fast? ”"I guess that's about the size of it."
hvd.hn1tlp	and I?
hvd.hn1tlp	and how is my old friend Thornton? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	and where? ” “ By his private secretary, and in the library adjoining."
hvd.hn1tlp	and who were they?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	anything missing? ” queried Ralph Mainwaring.
hvd.hn1tlp	are you mad?
hvd.hn1tlp	can it be possible? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	ejaculated young Mainwaring, while his father exclaimed, impatiently,- “ Barton& Barton?
hvd.hn1tlp	he said, with mocking emphasis, who is the impostor now?'
hvd.hn1tlp	him entertain if his housekeeper did not?"
hvd.hn1tlp	is this murder or suicide?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	of what avail would be any plea of mine in the face of such damning evidence?
hvd.hn1tlp	or would you admit being a party to the destruction of the will???
hvd.hn1tlp	or would you admit being a party to the destruction of the will???
hvd.hn1tlp	or would you admit being a party to the destruction of the will???
hvd.hn1tlp	said Mr. Thornton, after a moment's silence; “ he was the elder son, was he not? ” “ Yes, and his father's favorite.
hvd.hn1tlp	she cried,"where would you have been all these years, if I had but exposed your dishonesty and duplicity?
hvd.hn1tlp	this rather confirms my theory about that woman getting possession of the jewels and hiring Brown to help her, does n't it?''
hvd.hn1tlp	until when? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1tlp	what do you mean? ” he demanded, instantly assuming an upright position.
hvd.hn1tlp	what was he prowling around there for? ”'interrupted Mr. Scott, angrily.
hvd.hn1tlp	what's the matter?
hvd.hn1tlp	when and how did you get hold of all this? ” questioned the attorney, in a tone of bewilderment.
hvd.hn1tlp	when did you learn that?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Ah, so?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ And for this, you expect — what?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ And her son? ” “ I did not see Mr. Walter LaGrange at all during the forenoon, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ And his family, what of them? ”'queried the attorney.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ And these keys, do you recognize them?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ And what compensation would you demand for assist- ing'me?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ And what do you propose to do? ” he asked, sullenly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Any new developments in the Mainwaring case? ” “ Yes, a genuine sensation!"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Anything wrong, Mr. Whitney?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Are you acquainted with Mr. Mainwaring? ”'she inquired, carelessly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Are you one of the servants here? ” Mr. Mainwaring inquired.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Are you positive there was no one else in those rooms at that time?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Are you sure these were the same two men you had seen earlier in the day? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ At Mrs. LaGrange's request? ” “ Yes, sir; in accordance with her instructions."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ At that time, ” continued the coroner, “ were you of the opinion that it was Mr. Scott whom you heard thus addressing Mr. Mainwaring? ”!
hvd.hn1tlp	“ At what hour was this?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ At what time, and from whom, did you first hear of Mr. Mainwaring's death? ” “ About half- past seven, yesterday morning, sir.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ At what time?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ But how does this Merrick know you? ” Mr. Barton inquired, as the laughter caused by McCabe's recital sub- sided.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ But how has he heard of you?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ But who could have done such a deed?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ But you still love me?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can any of you gentlemen tell me whether or not this belonged to the deceased?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can it be possible that he is concerned in this? ” “ He is probably the hired tool by means of which this has been brought about.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can you describe this man's appearance?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can you state positively whether this revolver belonged to Mr. Mainwaring? ” asked the coroner, at the same time passing the weapon to Hardy.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can you state whether or not he left his room within the next half- hour? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can you tell how many, or what kind of looking men were with Brown on Wednesday night? ” “ There was three of'em.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Can- not you understand what I need most?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Could n't you see what he threw? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Could you not forget?".
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did Mr. Mainwaring carry a handkerchief of that style? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did Mr. Mainwaring make no reply? ” inquired the coroner.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did he leave his name or address???
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did he leave his name or address???
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did he leave his name or address???
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did he state his errand?''.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did n't he look at all like the first man? ”'inquired the coroner.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did she give any reason for such instructions?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did there seem to be any coldness or unpleasantness between them?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did this gossip'that you speak of have any bearing on what has since occurred? ”'the coroner inquired.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you admit Hobson when he called in the even- ing?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you ever speak to any one of this will? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you go directly to your room? ”'“ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you have any stated time for doing this? ”'“ At nine o'clock, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you have charge of the private rooms of Mr. Mainwaring? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you hear any unusual sound afterwards? ”'“ I did not.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you hear anything that was said?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you in any room?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you meet any one else?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you notice anything unusual in his rooms? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you or did you not?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you see Mr. Mainwaring during the day or evening? ”"I met him once or twice in the halls."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you see any strangers about the place at that time?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you see him when you called at Fair Oaks, Wed- nesday,-either morning or evening? ” “ I did not. ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you see the coachman at that time? ”'she was asked.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you see the gentleman who came up- stairs later? ”'“ No, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Did you watch him last night? ”'asked Mr. Main- waring.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you acknowledge these letters to be of your writ- ing? ”'inquired the attorney.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you consider your conduct becoming towards a mother who is risking everything for you and your interests?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you intend to give up the game? ” “ Give up?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you intend to give up the game? ” “ Give up?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you positively identify that man as the writer of this will?!
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you recognize the document just read in your hear- ing as anything which you have heard before?".
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you think I would fear suspicion?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Do you think so? ” he asked, with an amused smile.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Going to be at liberty for some time? ” he inquired, at the same time extending his cigar- case.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Had he any intention of meeting Mr. Mainwaring later?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Have you absolute proof of that? ”'Mr. Whitney in- quired, quickly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Have you any further direct evidence which you can produce in support of the identity of the claimant?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Have you any roomers at present?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Have you anything to say in reference to the testimony just given? ”'the coroner inquired.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ He called at Fair Oaks yesterday, did he not?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ He did. ” “ Do you know whether he called more than once? ” “ He came a second time, in the evening, accompanied by his clerk."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ He was away from home part of the time, was he not?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ He went up onto the main avenue and turned towards the town. ” “ Can you describe his appearance?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How about that will business, Mr. Whitney?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How are you getting on, Mr. Merrick? ” inquired Mr. Thorton.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How could that be? ”'she inquired, greatly surprised.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How did he appear? ”'inquired Mr. Thornton.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How did it happen that you were not at the inquest?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How did the servants gain any knowledge of this will? ” “ That's more than I can say, sir, except as I knows the nature of some folks."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How did you hear of Mr. Mainwaring's death?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How did you make out?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How do you know this?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How is that?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How is that? ”'she inquired, quickly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How long a time elapsed between the birth of this child and the death of Harold Mainwaring, the father?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How long ago was that? ” “ A little more than twenty- three years."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How long had you been up and at work in the stables? ” “ Before I heard of the murder?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How long had you been up and at work in the stables? ” “ Before I heard of the murder?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How long were they there? ” “ About half'n hour, I guess.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How long were you there?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How recently had this man Hobson extorted money from Mr. Mainwaring, and in what amount? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How was that?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How was that? ”'inquired Dr. Westlake, rather quickly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How was this, Hardy?!'
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How's that, Thornton?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ How, then, was this man employed to draw the will? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ I have not seen him to speak with him for fully twenty- three years. ” “ You have corresponded with him, however, in that time?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ I heard him say,"Who was that I passed outside, Jim?'
hvd.hn1tlp	“ I say, Scott, wo n't you come out and have a smoke?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ If I was Hugh Mainwaring's son, why have I not borne his name?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ In what one? ” “ In Mr. Scott's room, a little later."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ In what respect, Mr. Whitney? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ In which direction did he then go??
hvd.hn1tlp	“ In which direction did he then go??
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Is Mr. Merrick a detective? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Is it possible,"he soliloquized, “ that that crea- ture is on my track and has any proposition to make to me?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Is that all you know about the affair?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ It will help you — what I have told you — will it not?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Mannering,"he repeated, thoughtfully, once more fac- ing her; “ I wonder if I am not mistaken in the name?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Mercy me! ” exclaimed Mrs. Mainwaring, addressing 171 THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR position of private secretary?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Merrick, are you sure of that? ” inquired Mr. Whit- ney, in astonishment.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Met him here, in my house?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Miss Carleton,–Winifred,—how can you ask?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ No, sir; she wanted me to do an errand for her. ” « « Will you state the nature of this errand?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Regarding one Richard Hobson? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Say, what are you doing'him for?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Should we not send for a detective at once? ”'Mr. Thornton inquired.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Struck a new trail, eh? ” queried Ralph Mainwaring, with a peculiar expression, as he paused to light a cigar.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Surely you do not anticipate any difficulty in establishing your claim? ” “ No difficulty so far as its validity is concerned.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Sutherland, how is this? ”'demanded one of the elder gentlemen.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ The will?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ They were Mr. Mainwaring's private keys to his library and the southern hall. ” “ The ones the valet said were missing? ” • The same."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ To whom do you refer? ”'he inquired.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Twelve?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Walter LaGrange, what do you mean?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was Hugh Mainwaring ever married? ” the coroner asked, abruptly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was Richard Hobson at the Arlington? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was Richard Hobson the attorney of Mr. Main- waring?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was he alone when he called the second time?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was he in this room?!'
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was he not at Fair Oaks? ” “ I can not say, sir.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was his object at either time to secure an interview with Mr. Mainwaring? ” “ He called to see me on private business."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was that her only object in coming to your room?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was that the last time you saw Mr. Mainwaring living pas"It was. ” “ Can you state whether any one was in his rooms after you left???
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was that the last time you saw Mr. Mainwaring living pas"It was. ” “ Can you state whether any one was in his rooms after you left???
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was that the last time you saw Mr. Mainwaring living pas"It was. ” “ Can you state whether any one was in his rooms after you left???
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was the voice of the second speaker familiar to you?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was there ever any private marriage? ”'Hobson smiled enigmatically.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Was your last interview with Mr. Mainwaring of a friendly nature?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Well, Mac, ” said Mr. Barton, tentatively, “ are you ready to go to work now? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Well, it is past three, we must hasten; you found nothing more? ” “ Nothing of special importance.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Well, you see how it is yourself, Mainwaring: what is a fellow to do?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Well,"continued Mr. Thornton, after a pause, “ have you the remotest idea as to who these possible claimants against the property may be? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Well? ” he said, with a look of inquiry.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Were you successful in finding Mr. Hobson there? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the witness answered sullenly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What did you hear?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What did you learn? ” “ Nothing very definite, and yet enough, perhaps, to 214 AN UNFORESEEN FOE give us our cue until further developments.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What did you say?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What did you then do with it?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What do you think of that? ” he asked, removing the wrappings and holding up the rusty, metallic box.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What do you think of them? ”'“ I am not in the least surprised. ” “ Not surprised!"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What is this, gentlemen? ” said a reporter, briskly, appearing on the scene, note- book in hand.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What time was this, Uncle Mose?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What time was this? ” “ I heard the clock strike three just after I got in."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ What, Harold?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did he go to the city? ” “ About noon.'
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did he go? ” asked Mr. Whitney, quickly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did he return? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did you last see Mr. Hugh Mainwaring? ” “ Shortly after dinner last evening, between seven and eight o'clock, I should say, sir."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did you last see Mr. Mainwaring? ” “ A little after eleven o'clock night before last,—Wed- nesday night,-sir.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did you last see him?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When did you see him last?".
hvd.hn1tlp	“ When were you last in these rooms, Mr. Scott?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Where did you get this rusty thing?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Where was that?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Where was this document placed, Mr. Whitney? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Where were you born?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Who in the devil are you, anyway? ” he growled.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Why are you making such a stranger of yourself, Hugh?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Why did you not mention that?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Why should n't she, mamma? ”'inquired Isabel, rather abruptly.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Why so? ”'asked the coroner.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Why, are you prepared to head him off in that direction?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Why?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Will you describe the appearance of Mr. Hobson's clerk?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Will you state the circumstances under which you be- came his foster- parent?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Winifred, ” said Miss Thornton, as they were leaving the dining- saloon, “ do you see that young Englishman at the farther table?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Would it con- tribute to my happiness, do you think, to remember the sorrow and suffering which I was not allowed to share?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Would it not be well to see if it is still there?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Would you deny that such a will ever existed in face of whatever evidence may be brought forward in its support?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Yes, I know the old gentleman disinherited Harold, but would his heirs have no claim? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ Yes, sir; I went up as soon as ever I heard what had happened. ” “ Who was in the library at that time?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You acknowledge this, then, as the will which you wrote at the dictation of Ralph Maxwell Mainwaring the night before his death?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You are Mr. Ralph Mainwaring's valet, I believe? ” said the coroner.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You are not then troubled with any unpleasant super- stitions regarding the making of a will? ”'commented Mr. Thornton.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You are then acquainted with this Hobson?"'
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You can then vouch for its genuineness? ” 242 OPENING FIRE:"I can."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You did not try to call any one?".
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You have noticed it, then?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You locked the rooms as usual last night?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You obtained your knowledge originally from other sources than Mr. Mainwaring's correspondence, did you not?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You saw no one in any of Mr. Mainwaring's private rooms? ”"No strangers, you mean?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You saw no one in any of Mr. Mainwaring's private rooms? ”"No strangers, you mean?
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You saw or heard nothing more?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You say he married; did he leave any children? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You say that you were privately married, and that in all these years Mr. Mainwaring never acknowledged you as his wife?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You say,"continued the latter, “ you thought you smelled something burning; could you state what the material seemed to be? ”.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You surely do not intend to dispute his identity after the unmistakable proofs submitted?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You took care of his rooms as usual Wednesday?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You went into the library as soon as he was alone? ” “ I did. ”"At what hour was this? ” “ A few minutes past twelve."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You went into the library as soon as he was alone? ” “ I did. ”"At what hour was this? ” “ A few minutes past twelve."
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You were about the grounds as usual Wednesday, were you not?"
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You were an accessory in that affair, and you can not deny it?''
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You were personally acquainted with the late Hugh Mainwaring, I believe?!!
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You would say that death was instantaneous? ”'ques- tioned the attorney.
hvd.hn1tlp	“ You're right, they would, ” Hobson replied, ap- provingly; “ but they are all dead. ” “ Were there no heirs left? ”'.
hvd.hn1tlp	• Did he state his errand?"
hvd.hn1tlp	• Did you deliver the note? ”'.
hvd.hn353d	And did not sickness make any difference? hvd.hn353d And they do not? ”.
hvd.hn353d	But what cyclones ever come here? ” he asked, with his mockery of a smile. hvd.hn353d Come as my friend, ” she suggested; then in a more HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	Did not father forgive you?' hvd.hn353d Did the doctor leave medicine?'
hvd.hn353d	Did you think I would let that stand in my way? ” he asked, with a proud tenderness with which no sensitive woman could fail to be impressed. hvd.hn353d Do n't look like that, ” he cried, “ or you will make me feel I can never read your letter. ” “ And have you not read it?"
hvd.hn353d	Her children's names?' hvd.hn353d How do you do, Mr. Etheridge? ” said he, ambling up, and bowing with hypocritical meekness.
hvd.hn353d	I can understand, ” said she, “ that you hurt her. ”Is she so wedded to the past, then? ” he cried.
hvd.hn353d	I did not receive an immediate reply( why do you want all these particulars, Frank? hvd.hn353d I have known Emma Cavanagh ever since we were HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	Is it all right? ” asked Frank. hvd.hn353d No?

hvd.hn353d	Should I have offered myself if I had not? ” “ I do n't know; I only know I did n't wait for any such belief on the part of Hermione.
hvd.hn353d	What has she taken? ” he demanded. hvd.hn353d What is going on?'
hvd.hn353d	What mind had she after I left her? hvd.hn353d What, will you be married too, to- night, at the minister's house with me? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Where is it?' hvd.hn353d Where is your sister? ” were the first words uttered by Frank, as he came into the room.
hvd.hn353d	Yet it has lasted a year. ” “ A year?
hvd.hn353d	You can not?' hvd.hn353d You think so? ” he began; and his eye, which had been bright before, now gleamed with the excitement of a fear allayed.
hvd.hn353d	Your name? hvd.hn353d 'What right have you to touch them or to look at them? hvd.hn353d , 305 “ Can we get her to take it? hvd.hn353d -“'She is a married woman, then?' hvd.hn353d 113 “ Mary? hvd.hn353d 153 yourself; why let a worn- out memory stand in the way of a new joy, a real joy, an unsullied and wholly promising happiness? ” “ Emma! hvd.hn353d 163 the house, when she paused, gathering up her strength till he reached the place where she stood, when she said:You are coming again, some time?"

hvd.hn353d	191 rea- “ Do you know, ” he asked, “ why she, and her sister, too, I believe, have taken this peculiar freak?
hvd.hn353d	57 “ Did you use to visit her? ”.

hvd.hn353d	73 “ Serious?
hvd.hn353d	77 “ Are you the stranger lawyer that has come to town? ” she asked.

hvd.hn353d	A bundle of letters came to light and were handed over to Frank “ Why did she hide those away?

hvd.hn353d	Am I not master of everything here?'
hvd.hn353d	Am I nothing to you?
hvd.hn353d	And do they like him?
hvd.hn353d	And if in her nature there lies a fault also, is not a man's first love potent enough to overlook even that?
hvd.hn353d	And then who could have kept me out of my property?
hvd.hn353d	And what did he say?
hvd.hn353d	And you have property to leave?'
hvd.hn353d	And you mean to give her up? ”.

hvd.hn353d	Are they nice girls?

hvd.hn353d	Are you not moved by it, Edgar?
hvd.hn353d	Are you pleased that you have driven your father to self- destruction?
hvd.hn353d	Are you really serious in your intention of making the acquaintance of Miss Cavanagh? ” THE WAY OPENS.
hvd.hn353d	Are you sure that is all?'
hvd.hn353d	Are you, indeed, as indifferent as you seem? ” “ I should like to know why they do this, of course, but I shall not busy myself to find out.
hvd.hn353d	As a natural result, his thoughts turned to Marston- were they ever far away from there?
hvd.hn353d	At that instant Frank was heard below: “ Am I in time?. ” he gasped.
hvd.hn353d	Because she has a secret?
hvd.hn353d	Because you drew up the will, does that make you an authority here?
hvd.hn353d	Besides But why mince the matter?
hvd.hn353d	But as she proceeded farther her spirits seemed to droop again, and she cast him furtive looks as much as to say:"Is it right?
hvd.hn353d	But if I liked him, if he were the beau- ideal of my dreams, could I break the vow I made one day in your presence?
hvd.hn353d	But is there no break in the universal silence?
hvd.hn353d	But we heard nothing more, nothing. ” “ Nothing? ” Frank repeated.
hvd.hn353d	But when did you come to Marston?"
hvd.hn353d	But who will see me home?'
hvd.hn353d	But your business here,—what is it?
hvd.hn353d	Can it be that his imagination has been roused and his affections stirred by the instantaneous vision of an almost unknown woman?
hvd.hn353d	Can not you help me to make her acquaintance?
hvd.hn353d	Can not you tell me?
hvd.hn353d	Can you close the letter so that neither he nor they will ever know it has been opened? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Can you guess who he can be? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Can you tell me where she lived, or give me any information beyond her first name by which I could identify her?'
hvd.hn353d	Can you under- stand such a disposition, and can you continue to love the possessor of it?
hvd.hn353d	Can you understand my feeling this way, and I no more than a servant to them?"
hvd.hn353d	Catching Frank by the arm, he whispered: “ Can they be trusted?
hvd.hn353d	Could I accept even his if it were offered to me?
hvd.hn353d	Could the leaves have stuck together? ” There were no signs of this having happened.
hvd.hn353d	Dickey?'
hvd.hn353d	Did I once know a person by that name after all? ” “ Nothing more likely. ” “ But there the thing stops.
hvd.hn353d	Did no one go near them when it was learned how ill this poor woman was?'
hvd.hn353d	Did she dream that I could do anything else?"
hvd.hn353d	Did she realize that she had just put in jeopardy not only her young mistresses'fortunes, but even their lives?
hvd.hn353d	Did you never see Miss Cavanagh again, or any of her family? ”"I received a note, but it was very short, though it was in Emma's handwriting.
hvd.hn353d	Did you never see any of them again?"
hvd.hn353d	Did you not draw up the will yourself?
hvd.hn353d	Did you see what a crowd has assembled in the parlors?
hvd.hn353d	Do I ask you to accept the attentions of a boor or a scape- grace?
hvd.hn353d	Do I look like a man who will die poor?
hvd.hn353d	Do n't you know she gave everything to me?'
hvd.hn353d	Do n't you think I am right? ” He smiled warily and took her pail of currants from her hand.
hvd.hn353d	Do they know anything about my sister?
hvd.hn353d	Do they seem inclined to take his advice?
hvd.hn353d	Do you believe in ghosts? ” “ I believe in anything now,"she murmured.
hvd.hn353d	Do you hear me, Emma, to- day?
hvd.hn353d	Do you hear that bird sing? ” “ You are lovely with that flickering sunlight on your face,"was all the reply he made.
hvd.hn353d	Do you know why?
hvd.hn353d	Do you mean any one belonging to this town? ” “ I mean some one with whom your sister was intimate thirty years ago.
hvd.hn353d	Do you not like Miss Cavanagh? ” Edgar hastily smoothed his forehead.
hvd.hn353d	Do you not think them beautiful? ” she asked.
hvd.hn353d	Do you see that porch? ” And Huckins pointed through the cracked windows to a decayed pair of steps leading from the side of the house."
hvd.hn353d	Do you think there are any papers hidden there?"
hvd.hn353d	Do you think we can bear many more disappointments, Emma? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Do you understand?'
hvd.hn353d	Do you want to make a prison- bird of me at once?'
hvd.hn353d	Do you want to try for it?"
hvd.hn353d	Does he press it upon them?"
hvd.hn353d	Does n't that jog your memory, Huckins?
hvd.hn353d	Emma! ” “ Do you remember Emma? ” “ Yes, she is younger than Hermione. ”"And what kind of a girl is she? ” “ Do n't ask me, Frank.
hvd.hn353d	Emma! ” “ Do you remember Emma? ” “ Yes, she is younger than Hermione. ”"And what kind of a girl is she? ” “ Do n't ask me, Frank.
hvd.hn353d	Emma, what has come to you?
hvd.hn353d	Exercise- the exhilaration of motion — the refreshment of change?
hvd.hn353d	Ghost?
hvd.hn353d	Going straight to the woman, I leaned over her and said: “ Is it your desire to leave all that you possess to this brother?
hvd.hn353d	Going to walk for pleasure?
hvd.hn353d	Going up to town, eh? ” “ Yes, and I advise you to do the same,"quoth the other, turning upon him sharply.

hvd.hn353d	HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	Had Mrs. Wakeham been the sufferer and victim which her appearance, yes and her words to me, had betokened?
hvd.hn353d	Had he seen love there?
hvd.hn353d	Had she been constrained by his influence to do what she was doing, or was her mind free to act and but obeying its natural instincts?
hvd.hn353d	Happily, you have seen her defect. ” “ It is not a defect to me. ” “ Not if it is in her nature as well?"
hvd.hn353d	Har- riet Smith, ” he continued in a musing tone, “ Harriet- What is there in the name that stirs up some faint recol- lection?
hvd.hn353d	Has she always had that scar?"
hvd.hn353d	Has she no doctor- nọ nurse?'
hvd.hn353d	Have I reason to be thankful it was so?
hvd.hn353d	Have not their friends or relatives tried to make them break their seclusion? ” “ Oh, sir, the times the minister has been to that house!
hvd.hn353d	Have they ever told you, or have you ever —"how close his head got to hers, and how he nodded and peered—“surprised their secret?"
hvd.hn353d	Have you any other idea, Frank? ” “ No, no; that is not what I mean, ” stammered Ether- idge.
hvd.hn353d	Have you anything to say against it? ” “ No, except that I think it an unwarrantable intrusion about which you had better think twice."
hvd.hn353d	Have you ever heard any- thing about them?'
hvd.hn353d	Have you for a minute thought me other- wise?"
hvd.hn353d	Have you found the heirs? ” “ Not yet, ” rejoined Frank.
hvd.hn353d	Have you had a chance of that happiness, and refused it?".
hvd.hn353d	Have you not duties to the present, as well as to the past?
hvd.hn353d	Have you seen either of them yet?
hvd.hn353d	Have you seen them? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Have you talked of everything but what we propose to do? ” 315 316 CYNTHIA WAKEHAM'S MONEY.
hvd.hn353d	Have you them?
hvd.hn353d	Have you tried again since your return? ”.
hvd.hn353d	He gave me plenty to do that night. ” “ He did, did he?"
hvd.hn353d	He is a young man, did n't you say?"
hvd.hn353d	He was so anxious to assure himself that this was not so, that he finally asked: “ And was that the end?
hvd.hn353d	His love and interest naturally gained the victory over his pride, and he al- lowed himself to ask: “ How long have they kept themselves shut up?
hvd.hn353d	How Much Did IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	How could we have overlooked such a page?
hvd.hn353d	How? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Huckins?"
hvd.hn353d	I can hardly believe the tale, only that I have learned that one may believe anything of human nature. ”"She- she did not kill him, then?".
hvd.hn353d	I do not find her, do you? ”.
hvd.hn353d	I21 “ Do you- are you certain? ” he asked.
hvd.hn353d	If I want to stop the clock, now that my sister is dead, what is that to you?
hvd.hn353d	If the exterior of the house bore the marks of devastation, what shall I say of the barren halls and denuded rooms which now opened before me?
hvd.hn353d	If they find them, will they save them all for me? ” “ They will save them all for the heir,"retorted Frank, severely.
hvd.hn353d	If you do not know this, why did you try to slink away like a thief, instead of walking out of the front door like a proprietor?
hvd.hn353d	If you know him-"Why did he pause?
hvd.hn353d	If you used to go to the house — Why do you frown?
hvd.hn353d	Is he-"Rich?
hvd.hn353d	Is it a matter for the- for the police?"
hvd.hn353d	Is it a year, do you think? ” “ Oh, a full year, sir; six months at least before their father died.
hvd.hn353d	Is it here the attraction lies which has drawn him from the hotel and the companionship of his friend?
hvd.hn353d	Is it the memory of this folly only that stands in the way of what you so astonish- ingly advocate?
hvd.hn353d	Is n't it terrible?
hvd.hn353d	Is not Mr. Harding as much of a gentleman as Dr. Sellick?
hvd.hn353d	Is not that almost as cruel a fate as to learn that she is so unworthy?".
hvd.hn353d	Is not the will to your liking?'.
hvd.hn353d	Is there anything I can do for either of you up street?"
hvd.hn353d	Is there hope? ” murmured- Emma.
hvd.hn353d	Is there no one who is fully acquainted with their affairs, or have they lived so long out of the pale of society that they possess no friends?'
hvd.hn353d	It may serve to throw some light upon the facts. ” “ What light?
hvd.hn353d	Know the truth then; know that- “ Why did he not go on?
hvd.hn353d	Mary what?
hvd.hn353d	Mary? ” he repeated, “ we have known a dozen Marys.
hvd.hn353d	May I ask where you got the name, and why you want to find the woman?"
hvd.hn353d	Miss Emma Cavanagh does not care for me. ” “ You know that?
hvd.hn353d	Must he give up his hopes till time had paved the way to their realization?
hvd.hn353d	Not on a matter of this importance?"
hvd.hn353d	Old friends of yours? ” Frank continued.
hvd.hn353d	Quivering with disappointment, I cried out, bitterly: “ What to do?
hvd.hn353d	Real property and personal, this house, and also everything it contains?'
hvd.hn353d	Sellick has suffered a great wrong, I judge; do n't you think you owe something to him? ” TWO CONVERSATIONS.
hvd.hn353d	Sellick? ” “ Yes, he has returned to Marston after a year of ab- sence.
hvd.hn353d	Shall I send for the constable?'
hvd.hn353d	Shall we be friends?
hvd.hn353d	Shall we not let that content us, or do you wish to risk life and all by attempting more? ”.
hvd.hn353d	Should he proceed boldly to her house, use the knocker, and ask to see Miss Cavanagh?
hvd.hn353d	Should he step for- ward and meet the intruder, or remain still and await the words of surprise he had every reason to expect?
hvd.hn353d	Should the world know?
hvd.hn353d	That's what you think is coming? ” And Doris could not tell whether it was pleasure or alarm that gave so queer a look to his eyes.
hvd.hn353d	The name is a new one to you, I presume. ” “ Smith. ” Can the name of Smith ever be said to be new?"
hvd.hn353d	Then as my eyes opened in terror, and I seemed about to flee, he cried, “ No doctor, do you hear?
hvd.hn353d	There is purity there, Hermione, and a deep sadness which is too near like sorrow to be the result of an evil action. ” “ What do you call evil?"
hvd.hn353d	They seem so happy now, and their prospects are so bright, eh?"
hvd.hn353d	This he knew to be a freak of his fancy, for had he not her words to prove she had merited his con- demnation?
hvd.hn353d	Though he longed to press the question he judged that he had better not, so suggested carelessly: “ Your sister, then? ”.
hvd.hn353d	To give us bread?
hvd.hn353d	Upon what precipice of horror was I stumbling?
hvd.hn353d	Very well; Mr. Dickey, will you stay?'
hvd.hn353d	Was his heart touched at last?
hvd.hn353d	Was it her will I had expressed in the paper I held before me, or his?
hvd.hn353d	Was it his heart that was beating so loudly?
hvd.hn353d	Was it in there?"
hvd.hn353d	Was it late?"
hvd.hn353d	Was it to me?
hvd.hn353d	Was she afraid of the right?
hvd.hn353d	Was she in the poplar walk?
hvd.hn353d	Was there a secret in their connection which he ought to know?
hvd.hn353d	Were you alone?
hvd.hn353d	What did Huckins want of the Misses Cavanagh, and what was the real reason for the indulgence they showed him?
hvd.hn353d	What did his words mean?
hvd.hn353d	What do their looks say?-I mean since this young man came to visit them?
hvd.hn353d	What do their looks say?-I mean since this young man came to visit them?
hvd.hn353d	What does it all mean? ” “ That is what I want to know."
hvd.hn353d	What has happened to drive you to a deed like this?
hvd.hn353d	What if a thorn has rent a petal here and there, in the luxurious flowers before him, are they not roses still?
hvd.hn353d	What is he seeking?
hvd.hn353d	What is it, Miss Emma? ”"A four- leaved clover!
hvd.hn353d	What is it, good, kind Doris; anything that will help us in our plans? ” “ Perhaps,"said she.
hvd.hn353d	What place had I at his side?
hvd.hn353d	What reasons can they have for actions so extraordinary?
hvd.hn353d	What then?
hvd.hn353d	What was going on in that room?
hvd.hn353d	What was his purpose?
hvd.hn353d	What was my father saying?
hvd.hn353d	What was the doc- tor deciding?
hvd.hn353d	When did she take that powder? ” “ I fear she took it this morning, shortly after-- after 304 CYNTHIA WAKEHAM'S MONEY.
hvd.hn353d	Where are the bonds and the stocks, and the money I helped you to save?'
hvd.hn353d	Where?"
hvd.hn353d	Who could be writing letters to him of such dainty appearance as this?
hvd.hn353d	Who is it?
hvd.hn353d	Why did I let that doctor come?
hvd.hn353d	Why did n't that poison work?
hvd.hn353d	Why did you make me speak of it?
hvd.hn353d	Why should he hurt both these women when his whole feeling towards them was one of kindness and love?
hvd.hn353d	Why should you?
hvd.hn353d	Why, then, do n't they do it?
hvd.hn353d	Will it make your life in this house, in which you have vowed to remain, any happier?
hvd.hn353d	Will you not live for me?
hvd.hn353d	With what words should he greet her, or win that confidence which the situation so peculiarly demanded?
hvd.hn353d	Wo nt you tell me how it was she refused you?
hvd.hn353d	Would he ever marry a woman who, not even at his entreaty, could be induced to cross the limits of her home? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn353d	Would it not have been better that it had?
hvd.hn353d	Would she come to the door herself, or would it be the sad- eyed sister he should see first?
hvd.hn353d	Would that anguish of the beloved one arouse her?
hvd.hn353d	Yes, he might do that, but afterwards?
hvd.hn353d	Yet who could say that this was not the real explanation of the whole matter?
hvd.hn353d	You are coming back to- morrow? ”.
hvd.hn353d	You are not her only relative?'
hvd.hn353d	You have asked her? ” “ A year ago; this is no sudden passion with me; I have loved her all my life. ” HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	You have asked her? ” “ A year ago; this is no sudden passion with me; I have loved her all my life. ” HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	You heed me, lawyer?'
hvd.hn353d	You know all the peo- ple in town, and perhaps can tell me what will shorten my stay into hours. ” “ Do you call that fortunate?"
hvd.hn353d	You like her, do n't you, very much? ” “ I love her. ” “ And her sister- such a sweet girl!
hvd.hn353d	You mean with servants, doubtless?
hvd.hn353d	You take an interest in them, sir? ” It was naturally put, yet it made his cheek glow.
hvd.hn353d	You will read it before you see me again? ” “ I will read it."
hvd.hn353d	You will ride to the tavern with me?"
hvd.hn353d	You will — “ Father,'I put in, chill as ice,'do you expect to carry me out in your arms?'
hvd.hn353d	You would tell me nothing, and I knew there was a tragedy in her face; I saw it at the first glance. ” “ Is it a tragedy, this not going out? ”.
hvd.hn353d	a lover and I not know it?
hvd.hn353d	because she is involved in a mystery? ”.
hvd.hn353d	been doing their business long? ”.

hvd.hn353d	do you think I would hold you to them now? ” “ I hold myself, ” cried Emma.

hvd.hn353d	struggle I knew then to be useless?
hvd.hn353d	to our father?'
hvd.hn353d	was in a short note written by a person called Mary, and it ran thus: “ Do you know whom I have seen?
hvd.hn353d	what could he say at a moment like this?
hvd.hn353d	why had it not swallowed her?
hvd.hn353d	why?
hvd.hn353d	· spend my money; but I am willing to work for your ends if you are willing to work for mine. ” “ And what are they?
hvd.hn353d	‘ Do n't you think we ought to have the doctor come, in spite of his commands to the contrary? ”.
hvd.hn353d	“ And did no letter come?
hvd.hn353d	“ And do you think they will succeed?
hvd.hn353d	“ And have you no eye, no heart,'I asked,'for the sufferings of your daughters?
hvd.hn353d	“ And her health? ” “ Is completely re- established. ” “ Have you kept your word?
hvd.hn353d	“ And her health? ” “ Is completely re- established. ” “ Have you kept your word?
hvd.hn353d	“ And now what luck with Jerry? ” he suddenly inquired, with a cheerful change of tone.
hvd.hn353d	“ And the looks?
hvd.hn353d	“ And who says I am flying?'
hvd.hn353d	“ And you think I —"HOW MUCH DID IT MEAN?
hvd.hn353d	“ Any children?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Are they valuable?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Are you not going to write to answer this in some way? ” asked Edgar.
hvd.hn353d	“ Are you sure that it is yours? ” “ Yes, yes, damn you!"
hvd.hn353d	“ Are you sure there is such a woman in town?
hvd.hn353d	“ Are you,'she whispered, coming close to the foot of the steps,'going in there?'
hvd.hn353d	“ As a school- boy I thought her the merriest- eyed witch in town.---Is she merry now? ” Frank shook his head.
hvd.hn353d	“ Briggs, is there a light in Mr. Thompson's house?'
hvd.hn353d	“ But I have reason. ” “ How's that?
hvd.hn353d	“ But the constable?
hvd.hn353d	“ But the time?
hvd.hn353d	“ But what do you mean by riches?
hvd.hn353d	“ But where is Huckins?"
hvd.hn353d	“ But you and she have brothers or sisters?
hvd.hn353d	“ Can not I go out on an errand without being told I am running away?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Can you help me?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Certainly, if I had any ulterior purpose beyond that of mere acquaintanceship. ”"Her sister has no scar?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Did you call, sirs? ” asked he, with a rude attempt at a bow.
hvd.hn353d	“ Did you think you saw him? ” added Frank.
hvd.hn353d	“ Do I see it?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Do I wear my heart on my sleeve? ” he murmured to himself, in secret vexation.
hvd.hn353d	“ Do I?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Do n't, ” he feebly protested, shaking with terror, or was it with a hideous anxiety?
hvd.hn353d	“ Do you allude to the woman who wishes to make her will?
hvd.hn353d	“ Do you know them?
hvd.hn353d	“ Do you mean this scar? ” he whispered softly, glid- ing swiftly to her side.
hvd.hn353d	“ Do you think I am a fool?
hvd.hn353d	“ Do you think”—He paused and moistened his lips- “ Have you doubted what our duty is about this matter?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Do you understand her?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Does Hermione tend the flowers? ”"Ah! ” ejaculated Frank, understanding his friend for 134 CYNTHIA WAKEHAM'S MONEY.
hvd.hn353d	“ Does Huckins still bother you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn353d	“ Does he- is he- prepared to receive the letter?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Doris, sir. ” “ And what is it you want of me?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Edgar, what is this I hear about Hermione Cava- nagh?
hvd.hn353d	“ Either- of- them?"
hvd.hn353d	“ For years?
hvd.hn353d	“ Girls?
hvd.hn353d	“ Give her up?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Has this Mr.-Mr. Etheridge, did you call him?
hvd.hn353d	“ Has — has Mr. Etheridge offered himself?
hvd.hn353d	“ Have they never been talked to on the subject?
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you any jewels, Hermione?
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you any name but Cynthia?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you found anything? ” he asked.
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you found the heirs? ” he asked, bowing with ill- mannered grace, and pushing forward the only chair there was in the room.
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you had any trouble?
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you not a Harriet Smith to find? ” Frank shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn353d	“ Have you seen them daily? ” “ Every day but to- day.
hvd.hn353d	“ Her mind?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Her name, Edgar? ” “ Hermione Cavanagh."
hvd.hn353d	“ Her nature?
hvd.hn353d	“ Hermione, ” he cried, “ has your imagination carried you so far?
hvd.hn353d	“ Hiram Huckins? ”.
hvd.hn353d	“ How came you to think of such a thing?"
hvd.hn353d	“ How can I know,"thought he, “ how can I know?"
hvd.hn353d	“ How do you do? ” said she, and looked at him inquir- ingly.
hvd.hn353d	“ I never break my word. ” “ And they?
hvd.hn353d	“ I should be very glad to hear whatever you may have to tell me, ” was his natural response, “ Are you in trouble?
hvd.hn353d	“ If I did not care for them do you think I would stay in such a gloomy house?
hvd.hn353d	“ If the property comes to much, wo n't Miss Thompson and I get some- thing out of it for our trouble? ” “ No doubt, ” said Frank.
hvd.hn353d	“ In business I am, and in-"“ Love? ” the other smiled.
hvd.hn353d	“ Is he a person known to father?
hvd.hn353d	“ Is he gone?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Is it going to be too extravagant?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Is n't she dead?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Is not all law- business serious? ” “ You have just proved it so, ” she remarked.
hvd.hn353d	“ Is not her whim shared by her sister?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Is she dead?
hvd.hn353d	“ Is that my sister I hear?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Is that the expression of your wishes?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Is that what you are thinking of?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Is that why you never leave it? ” he unexpectedly asked, looking with his foxy eyes from one sister to the other.
hvd.hn353d	“ Is there anything else we can do for you? ” The chill, stern tones seemed to rouse him and he turned towards the speaker.
hvd.hn353d	“ Is there anything wrong in that? ”"I thought you did not know these young ladies — that they were strangers to you? ”.
hvd.hn353d	“ Is there anything wrong in that? ”"I thought you did not know these young ladies — that they were strangers to you? ”.
hvd.hn353d	“ Is there anything you want?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Look at that double row of poplars stretching away almost as far as we can see?
hvd.hn353d	“ May I come in, ” he asked, “ just for a few words more?
hvd.hn353d	“ Miss Emma is the younger? ” “ Yes, yes, in everything."
hvd.hn353d	“ Moving a step aside in my disgust, I said to her, not to him: “ But you can hear?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Never, sir; have n't you heard?
hvd.hn353d	“ No?
hvd.hn353d	“ None; I shall leave town at ten. ” “ Is there no Harriet Smith here?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Not go out?
hvd.hn353d	“ Not if I can believe him. ” “ And has been none in the last twenty years?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Not that he can find out. ”"Then your quest here is at an end? ”.
hvd.hn353d	“ Not that she had mar- ried and had had children?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Not- not their lawyer? ” “ No, ” said he, “ not even their lawyer."
hvd.hn353d	“ Oh, yes, welcome enough. ” “ Any patients yet? ” “ All of Dudgeon's, I fear.
hvd.hn353d	“ Or where could a fire spring from in a house guarded by a Doris?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Picking currants? ” he observed.
hvd.hn353d	“ Reasons?
hvd.hn353d	“ Shall I go for the doctor again?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Shall I support your hand?'
hvd.hn353d	“ She could n't utter a word; her tongue was paralyzed; how could you know her wishes?
hvd.hn353d	“ She is beautiful, then? ” “ If her sister is, yes."
hvd.hn353d	“ So you are going to hunt up the heirs?
hvd.hn353d	“ The rafters did not fall, ” she murmured, “ and you, Frank, will keep all spectres away from me, wo n't you?
hvd.hn353d	“ The will?
hvd.hn353d	“ Then I have not succeeded in raising one throb of interest in your breast?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Then the matter is serious?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Then there are two whose acquaintance you would hesitate to make?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Then you are not coming any more? ” said she.
hvd.hn353d	“ Then you have not found them? ” the other declared, a hard glitter of triumph shining in his sinister eye.
hvd.hn353d	“ To whom do you want to leave your property?
hvd.hn353d	“ Was it to see them you came to Marston?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Well, ” said he, “ what news?"
hvd.hn353d	“ What are we going to do?'
hvd.hn353d	“ What are you going to do?'
hvd.hn353d	“ What do you want?
hvd.hn353d	“ What does it mean? ” he asked.
hvd.hn353d	“ What has?
hvd.hn353d	“ What have you done?'
hvd.hn353d	“ What have you seen, what can you see in me to make you trust me so in face of my own words? ” “ I think it is the look in your eyes.
hvd.hn353d	“ What is it?'
hvd.hn353d	“ What is that? ” he whispered, pointing eagerly at the packet.
hvd.hn353d	“ What is the matter? ” he cried, as Frank came stum- bling into his presence.
hvd.hn353d	“ What is your name? ” he asked her abruptly.
hvd.hn353d	“ What then? ” “ I must have proofs to that effect.
hvd.hn353d	“ What was the use? ” murmured Emma, “ since Hariet Smith is dead and her heirs can never claim the property.
hvd.hn353d	“ When?
hvd.hn353d	“ Where are the wings with which to turn her into a butterfly?"
hvd.hn353d	“ Where are the witnesses?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Where are you going? ” he asked; for Huckins had laid his hand on Miss Cavanagh's gate and was about to enter.
hvd.hn353d	“ Where are you going?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Where have you hidden it?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Who has she given the house to?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Who lives in these houses?
hvd.hn353d	“ Why are you affected by this? ” he cried.
hvd.hn353d	“ Why are you leaning over the Devil's Cauldron like that?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Why did I not yield to his will and say nothing?
hvd.hn353d	“ Why did n't I come here this morning? ” cried Edgar."
hvd.hn353d	“ Why do you look at me like that?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Why do you say they are for you, when you know you will only get them in default of other heirs being found. ” “ Why?
hvd.hn353d	“ Why not do as I do — let the matter alone?
hvd.hn353d	“ Why not?
hvd.hn353d	“ Why should she shut herself up? ” mused Frank, too interested in the subject to note the other's silence.
hvd.hn353d	“ Why speak so to a stranger?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Why then are you here?
hvd.hn353d	“ Why? ” Huckins half smiled, half snarled.
hvd.hn353d	“ Will Miss Cavanagh be at liberty this morning? ” he asked.
hvd.hn353d	“ Will not to- morrow do?
hvd.hn353d	“ Will you be seated?"
hvd.hn353d	“ With pleasure, ” was Frank's cheerful reply; “ but what will you do with Jerry?
hvd.hn353d	“ Wo n't I do for one?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Wo n't you come in?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Words of sorrow and remorse, no doubt, but what do they avail?
hvd.hn353d	“ Yes, I'll stay; that is right, is n't it, Susan?'
hvd.hn353d	“ You are searching, I hear, for a woman named Harriet Smith; have you found her, sir?'
hvd.hn353d	“ You are to be married, are you not?"
hvd.hn353d	“ You did n't expect to see me here, did you?
hvd.hn353d	“ You do not?
hvd.hn353d	“ You have misled me,"accused Frank;"you do love her, or you would not be here. ” “ Love whom?"
hvd.hn353d	“ You like your profession? ” Frank abruptly asked.
hvd.hn353d	“ You say she lives there alone?
hvd.hn353d	“ You will do what I say?"
hvd.hn353d	“ You would not?'
hvd.hn353d	“ Your wife? ” “ Yes, Hermione. ” “ With such a secret between us? ” “ It will not be a secret long."
hvd.hn353d	“ Your wife? ” “ Yes, Hermione. ” “ With such a secret between us? ” “ It will not be a secret long."
hvd.hn353d	“ • And what do you know of my appearance, and what is it to you if I carry or do not carry a bundle out of this house?
hvd.hn353d	“ • Are you a minister?'
hvd.hn353d	“'And do you mean to say that this man and his sister have lived there alone and unvisited for years?'
hvd.hn353d	“'And you are the brother of this woman?'
hvd.hn353d	“'Can you ask?'
hvd.hn353d	“'Do I look any better?
hvd.hn353d	“'Do n't you think he is very ill?'
hvd.hn353d	“'Do you not think,'I persisted,'that a woman who has doomed herself to perpetual seclusion has a right to be peculiar?'
hvd.hn353d	“'No,'I laughed;'why?'
hvd.hn353d	” he suddenly shrieked, “ what do you want?"
hvd.hn353d	” “ He plays his part badly, then? ”.
hvd.hn353d	• Can I never escape from that man?'
hvd.32044013708599	A Turk, you think?
hvd.32044013708599	A fake story ten years old, news? hvd.32044013708599 A scholar, then?"
hvd.32044013708599	A tenaja?
hvd.32044013708599	A what?
hvd.32044013708599	A. V. R. E. Jones; better known as Average Jones, I believe?
hvd.32044013708599	After he'd got into the room he'd put the key up, would n't he?
hvd.32044013708599	All alone by itself like that? hvd.32044013708599 All in this locality?"
hvd.32044013708599	All the dogs you speak of died since then?
hvd.32044013708599	Am I to assign no cause to the newspapers for my sud- den action?
hvd.32044013708599	Am I too late, then?
hvd.32044013708599	An octavo, in fairly good condition?
hvd.32044013708599	And about the five thousand dollars reward? hvd.32044013708599 And fell out of a third- story window to carry out the idea?
hvd.32044013708599	And found —?
hvd.32044013708599	And he got no answer to his knocking?
hvd.32044013708599	And how far from this roadway were your son's clothes found?
hvd.32044013708599	And if I decline?
hvd.32044013708599	And it is because of this that you let us find you?
hvd.32044013708599	And that event?
hvd.32044013708599	And the other reports?
hvd.32044013708599	And there's no other water in the Pintos?
hvd.32044013708599	And these gentlemen?
hvd.32044013708599	And who is this friend, Jones, that he's bringing? hvd.32044013708599 And you have n't seen any of them since, I sup- pose?"
hvd.32044013708599	And you're not going to see Tuxall?
hvd.32044013708599	And — er — you did n't happen to hear any clink- ing noise, did you?
hvd.32044013708599	Any family?
hvd.32044013708599	Any other thefts in the hotel?
hvd.32044013708599	Any particular brand? hvd.32044013708599 Any particular kind pre- ferred, Miss Ackroyd?"
hvd.32044013708599	Any special reason for his going up earlier?
hvd.32044013708599	Any suspicions?
hvd.32044013708599	Any trace?
hvd.32044013708599	Anything about him strike you particularly?
hvd.32044013708599	Anything else taken?
hvd.32044013708599	Apris? hvd.32044013708599 Apropos of polite grammar, do you speak Latin?"
hvd.32044013708599	Are either of them delivered to your labora- tory?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you conversant with the Baconian system of thought, which Old Chips used to preach to us at Hamilton?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you going there?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you going to hold up two men dying of thirst?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you in earnest?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you sure your door was locked?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you sure?
hvd.32044013708599	Are you the representative of this rather pe- culiar person, may I ask?
hvd.32044013708599	As for the governor, they ca n't kill him till he comes, can they? hvd.32044013708599 Association with Agrippa would put him back in the first century, B. G, would n't it?
hvd.32044013708599	Awoke?
hvd.32044013708599	Black beetles, eh?
hvd.32044013708599	Blatant?
hvd.32044013708599	But how?
hvd.32044013708599	But not always?
hvd.32044013708599	But since Mr. Honeywell is blind,said Ber- tram,"how could he see to erase the cancellations?"
hvd.32044013708599	But the locked door this morning?
hvd.32044013708599	But to a hunter, would n't it be well worth the risk for a record pair of horns — even if they were only tin horns?
hvd.32044013708599	But what does all this talk of people at work in the dark, and arson, and a mysterious creature tied in a tree lead to?

hvd.32044013708599	lately, have you?"
hvd.32044013708599	to run?"
hvd.hn5sem	Did you know my father? ” Vera cried. hvd.hn5sem Have you any idea where we are? ” Lord Raven- spur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	Is it quite safe? ” she asked. hvd.hn5sem Perhaps you would n't mind telling me her name? ” Berti asked.
hvd.hn5sem	209 CHAPTER XXXII WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
hvd.hn5sem	A STRANGE HOME- COMING 231 Yet it was impossible to satisfy our requirements in any other way. ” “ Oh, you are not alone, then? ” Vera asked.
hvd.hn5sem	AT WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hn5sem	After his death I found that diary. ” “ And you did not produce it at the trial? ” “ To what good, signor?
hvd.hn5sem	After his death I found that diary. ” “ And you did not produce it at the trial? ” “ To what good, signor?
hvd.hn5sem	All he told me was to give the letter to Miss Rayne and see that she had it at once. ” “ And you were to give it to her when she was alone?
hvd.hn5sem	All the same, they wanted to get rid of you, or they would not have cut off the light. ” “ But did they cut off the light? ” Ravenspur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	Am I telling the truth, or am I a liar? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Am I to go on being treated as a child?
hvd.hn5sem	And I quite agree with him. ” “ A portrait, I suppose? ” Venables asked.
hvd.hn5sem	And besides, how are you going to guard against this happening again?
hvd.hn5sem	And how am I re- paid?
hvd.hn5sem	And how is it that you are back so soon? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	And how many friends would be left to me? ” Time was going on.
hvd.hn5sem	And in what way is my uncle interested in my welfare? ” “ Do you mean to say he has n't told you?
hvd.hn5sem	And in what way is my uncle interested in my welfare? ” “ Do you mean to say he has n't told you?
hvd.hn5sem	And now, little Vera, when are we to be married? ” Vera turned slowly and thoughtfully.
hvd.hn5sem	And now, perhaps, you will tell me the truth. ” “ Do you think I have not already done so? ” “ My dear uncle, I am sure of it.
hvd.hn5sem	And now, sir, will you be so good as to tell me your name? ” “ Amati,"the stranger said sullenly.
hvd.hn5sem	And so you have an idea that this is the way in which my poor friend met his death? ” Ravenspur was speaking quietly and easily now.
hvd.hn5sem	And what extraordinary allurement did they hold out to her to induce her to go off with strangers in this way?
hvd.hn5sem	And what have I done?
hvd.hn5sem	And what more natural than I should seek out my sister at the first opportunity?
hvd.hn5sem	And what was it that he had told him after all?
hvd.hn5sem	And who rang so impe- riously and persistently for admission?
hvd.hn5sem	And why does he want to go round to his studio at such an hour in the morning? ” “ I thought of all that, ” Venables said grimly.
hvd.hn5sem	And why, for the first time in his life, had Lord Raven- spur caused the bloodhounds to be brought up from Hampshire?
hvd.hn5sem	And why?
hvd.hn5sem	And you wo n't love me any the less because I have thought of her as well as you? ” Walter kissed the sweet, serious lips.
hvd.hn5sem	And, besides, if anything happens to you, what are we going to do about Vera?
hvd.hn5sem	And, in addition to all this, she was her father's heiress. ” “ But who was interested in taking her away? ” Mrs. Delahay asked.
hvd.hn5sem	Are we going to raise an alarm? ” “ Not yet, ” Ravenspur said hoarsely.
hvd.hn5sem	Are you going to tell me that it is one and the same family to whom my sister and my- self were attached?"
hvd.hn5sem	Are you quite sure that I have not made a mistake? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	As to a policeman, I never had the honour of speaking to one in my life. ” “ You are quite certain of that? ”"Absolutely.
hvd.hn5sem	Besides, there was my child to consider. ” “ Your child? ” Mrs. Delahay cried.
hvd.hn5sem	Besides, what does it matter?
hvd.hn5sem	But I must go away. ” “ My dearest girl, why? ” Walter asked.
hvd.hn5sem	But am I not to know, Walter?
hvd.hn5sem	But are you not coming back with me? ” “ I think not, ” Mrs. Delahay said.
hvd.hn5sem	But do n't you think we are getting rather from the point, uncle?
hvd.hn5sem	But he did n't, as you know perfectly well. ”"As I know perfectly well? ” the Countess stam- mered.
hvd.hn5sem	But how could I marry Walter when I had no name of my own?
hvd.hn5sem	But how did they manage, how could they have commu- nicated with Vera?
hvd.hn5sem	But if you thought it was stolen property, Lord Ravenspur, why did you invest in that little disc which you took such a fancy to? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	But tell me, how did you manage to ascertain the fellow's proper name? ” “ That, of course, we got from Stevens,"Walter ex- plained.
hvd.hn5sem	But what are we going to do about our journey to Weymouth?
hvd.hn5sem	But what are we going to do?
hvd.hn5sem	But what do you want me to do? ” Walter signified that he would like his uncle to read the whole of the volume, but Lord Ravenspur shook his head.
hvd.hn5sem	But what has all this got to do with fellow Stevens? ” “ I was just coming to that point.
hvd.hn5sem	But what has all this got to do with your purchase of this morning?"
hvd.hn5sem	But what has become of him?"
hvd.hn5sem	But where is Walter?
hvd.hn5sem	But why discuss this now?
hvd.hn5sem	But why do I worry you with these trivial details when there is so much of importance to say?
hvd.hn5sem	But why do n't you put this matter in the hands of the police?
hvd.hn5sem	But why had her mother so sud- denly displayed this tender solicitude, after leaving her absolutely alone all these years?
hvd.hn5sem	But you see I have no claim upon him, and if anything happened to him to- morrow what would my position be?
hvd.hn5sem	But you would not understand — was there ever a man yet who really understood a woman?
hvd.hn5sem	But, my dear girl, do n't you see what a needless sacrifice it would be?
hvd.hn5sem	But, surely, between the three of them, they would be able to manage?
hvd.hn5sem	But, tell me, have you had a very enjoyable evening?
hvd.hn5sem	But, tell me, what opinion did the world form as to the merits of this extraordinary case? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	But, tell me, what opinion did you form of Countess Flavio's character? ” The Italian smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hn5sem	By the way, have you seen anything of Mrs. Delahay to- day? ” “ She wo n't see me,"Ravenspur replied.
hvd.hn5sem	CHAPTER I AT WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hn5sem	Could you tell me how it happened?
hvd.hn5sem	Delahay?"
hvd.hn5sem	Did Delahay know your identity before he married you? ” “ He knew all there was that was worth knowing, ” the woman said, a little defiantly.
hvd.hn5sem	Did n't they tell you about it?
hvd.hn5sem	Did you come alone? ” “ That you must discover for yourself, ” Walter said.
hvd.hn5sem	Did you notice anything strange about her? ” “ There was nothing to notice.
hvd.hn5sem	Do n't you see that any such action on your part would be worse than useless?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you feel quite convinced?"
hvd.hn5sem	Do you hap- pen to have a dog collar and chain in your pocket, Perks?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you happen to know her London address? ” “ No; I do n't, ” Vera replied.
hvd.hn5sem	Do you know that I was five times tried for my life?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you know that for four years I was the most execrated woman in South Italy?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you know, mother, that Walter and myself have been lovers ever since I was fourteen?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you mean to 130 THE MIDNIGHT GUEST say that you could part with your own flesh and blood in that callous way? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Do you re- member my telling you the other day that I felt how im- possible it is for me to remain here any longer?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you recollect my coming in one night and you asked me my opinion of it? ” “ I think I can remember it, ” Ravenspur said.
hvd.hn5sem	Do you recollect what a poor creature called Stevens said?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you suppose for a moment that I am afraid of my own life?
hvd.hn5sem	Do you suppose that I care what happens when my mission is accomplished?
hvd.hn5sem	Does he happen to be a friend of yours? ” “ We've done a bit of business together, ” Perks said significantly.
hvd.hn5sem	Does she live with Lord Raven- spur?
hvd.hn5sem	For instance, I should like to know who I really am. ” “ What does it matter? ” Lance asked.
hvd.hn5sem	For instance, have you a sister who is very like you?
hvd.hn5sem	For instance, look what happened to me only the other day. ” “ And what was that? ” Vera asked.
hvd.hn5sem	Had Flavio deceived me?
hvd.hn5sem	Had THE PASSING OF THE VENGEANCE 331 I done wrong?
hvd.hn5sem	Had she taken off her things? ” “ No, ” the clerk said.
hvd.hn5sem	Have you found anything yourself that is likely to give you a clue? ” Inspector Dallas hesitated just for a moment.
hvd.hn5sem	Have you heard of him?
hvd.hn5sem	Have you quite forgotten what you owe to your late master's children?"
hvd.hn5sem	He was a fine sportsman, and a large num- AT WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hn5sem	He will only think that you are a couple of ama- teur detectives like myself. ” CHAPTER XXXII WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
hvd.hn5sem	How DALLAS MAKES A DISCOVERY 99 do I know that if you marry Vera you would not be marked down for the same fate as myself? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	How can I tell? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5sem	How could I know anything?
hvd.hn5sem	How did it hap- pen? ” There was nothing for it but to explain.
hvd.hn5sem	How did you manage to escape? ” “ Oh, do n't ask me,"Carlotta Flavio said bitterly.
hvd.hn5sem	How does the idea strike you?"
hvd.hn5sem	How long did I stay here, and where did I go afterwards? ” LOOKING BACKWARDS 117---- “ It was a little over a week, ” the girl said.
hvd.hn5sem	I am afraid that I can tell you nothing more. ” “ The deceased was a great friend of yours? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hn5sem	I am perhaps wrong to tell you this"“ But where had she been? ” the Countess exclaimed.
hvd.hn5sem	I do n't like that kind of thing as a rule, but is is quite essential in this case. ”"What are you going to do yourself? ” the Countess asked.
hvd.hn5sem	I do n't think we need detain you any more at present. ” “ Then you do n't want to know anything about Fitz- 88 THE MIDNIGHT GUEST john Square?
hvd.hn5sem	I do n't want to be impertinent, Ravenspur, but I should like to know who she is. ” “ Where did you get that from? ” Ravenspur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	I do n't wish to ask you anything likely to cause you pain, but does it not occur to you that your husband might have been con- cealing something?
hvd.hn5sem	I feel as if I must get some- AT WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hn5sem	I have become as fond of you as if you were 150 TUT THE MIDNIGHT GUEST Do n't you see that I can not do without you?
hvd.hn5sem	I know there was someone in the room when I forced the door. ” “ Then where is he now, Walter? ” Lord Ravenspur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	I sup- pose I am at liberty to tell her what you have just said to me? ” “ I do n't know why not, ” Dallas said after a thought- ful pause.
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose I can come into your house and write a letter?
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose I can find a cab? ” A FAITHFUL SERVANT 179 “ I will go and find one for you, ” Walter said.
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose it is interesting? ” “ I never read anything that fascinated me more,"Walter said.
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose now that you wo n't want me to telegraph to the Hampshire place for the dogs? ” “ Oh, I think you had better, ” Ravenspur said.
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose that is Cannon Green station just at the end of the road? ” “ That's right, sir,"the cabman said civilly.
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose they had a dressing room and a bedroom? ” The chambermaid admitted that such was the fact.
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose when Mr. and Mrs. Delahay came in from the theatre they got the key of their bedroom from the office in the ordinary way?
hvd.hn5sem	I suppose you will believe the servants at the hotel?
hvd.hn5sem	I think you will agree with me that we want another hand? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	I will see to that. ” “ But are you quite sure? ” the countess asked eagerly.
hvd.hn5sem	If it were true, what should I have to gain by denying it?
hvd.hn5sem	If only half they said was true, the Countess Flavio was a fiend. ” “ Did no servant testify in her favour? ” Lance asked.
hvd.hn5sem	If we had only gone straight to our own house in Fitzjohn Square this dreadful thing — but why do I think of that?
hvd.hn5sem	If you like I will go up myself. ” “ Do you feel equal to it? ” Vera asked anxiously.
hvd.hn5sem	In the face of Mrs. Delahay's evidence, are you prepared to repeat your first statement? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Is n't that so, Inspector?
hvd.hn5sem	Is n't the name of Flavio familiar to you at all?
hvd.hn5sem	Is there any relationship between them, Raven- spur?"
hvd.hn5sem	Is there any- thing else, gentlemen? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Is there any- thing fresh? ” Ravenspur groaned in his spirit.
hvd.hn5sem	Is there nothing that you can suggest? ” “ I think so, ” Ravenspur said quietly.
hvd.hn5sem	Is this a mere coincidence, or is it a menace and warning of the old trouble which has never ceased to be with me night and day the last twenty years?
hvd.hn5sem	It is regarded as quite commonplace. ” “ And there is no way of clearing yourself? ” Walter asked.
hvd.hn5sem	It seems to me that Mrs. Delahay has placed herself in a very compromising position. ” “ What do you mean by that? ” Ravenspur demanded.
hvd.hn5sem	LOST 205 “ Which of you gave Miss Rayne a letter just now? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5sem	Louis is all right, I suppose? ” “ Louis is dead! ” the woman said in the same cold, strained voice.
hvd.hn5sem	My dear Lord Ravenspur, you surely did not expect to find Miss Rayne by simply opening the door and going through the house?
hvd.hn5sem	Need I say any more after that? ” “ Oh, you try me sorely, ” Vera cried;"and yet my path is quite plain.
hvd.hn5sem	Now I dare say you wonder why the police were not called in at once? ” Silva pulled at his cigarette savagely, but made no reply.
hvd.hn5sem	Now how do they strike you?
hvd.hn5sem	Now is n't THE NEXT MOVE 155 it rather significant, bearing in mind what Berti says, that Mrs. Delahay's name should be Maria? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Now is n't that picture the property of a man named Valdo who is at present under engage- ment at the Imperial Palace Theatre?
hvd.hn5sem	Now tell me, have you any relations?
hvd.hn5sem	Now who does it remind me of? ” “ The likeness is plain enough, ” Seton put in.
hvd.hn5sem	Now who was it that called at the studio in the early hours of the morning? ” “ How should I know? ” Stevens said sullenly.
hvd.hn5sem	Now who was it that called at the studio in the early hours of the morning? ” “ How should I know? ” Stevens said sullenly.
hvd.hn5sem	Now, come along, and we'll get it over. ” “ What are you going to do with him? ” Ravenspur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	Now, could you? ” “ That is what makes it all the harder, ” Vera whis- pered.
hvd.hn5sem	Now, is there anything more you can tell me? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Now, let me see, what would be the most likely thing to appeal to the sentiments of a young girl like Vera?
hvd.hn5sem	Only I ca n't sufficiently impress upon you the necessity of keeping this thing absolutely secret. ” “ Even from Lady Ringmar? ” Vera cried.
hvd.hn5sem	Other- wise, what was to prevent Vera coming down the stairs and appealing to Walter for his protection?
hvd.hn5sem	Per- haps madam does not want to be remembered?
hvd.hn5sem	Perhaps it was a question of money, or family property, or something of that kind?
hvd.hn5sem	Shall I tell you, for instance, what happened after this inhuman wretch brought his child home again?
hvd.hn5sem	So long as I know that your feelings remain unchanged"“ What is that?"
hvd.hn5sem	So the child that he had known, and been so passion- ately attached to, eighteen years ago had grown up to be a worthy representative of her race?
hvd.hn5sem	So you are interested in Mrs. Delahay?
hvd.hn5sem	Suppose he found Walter, and asked him what he was doing there?
hvd.hn5sem	Suppose he insisted upon showing him all over the house?
hvd.hn5sem	Surely my uncle must have guessed, he could not be so blind as not to see-Vera, dearest, can not you understand what I mean?
hvd.hn5sem	The question is, what are we going to do with him? ” “ You just leave me alone or it will be the worse for you, ” Stevens blustered.
hvd.hn5sem	Then I had to fight for my life, and was nearly done for when I called out for assistance. ” “ And you saw nothing of him? ” Walter asked.
hvd.hn5sem	Then who did he see whose likeness to me is so great as to deceive a pair of keen eyes under a brilliant electric light?
hvd.hn5sem	Then why are you trying to deceive me now? ” “ I hardly know what I am saying, ” the Countess re- plied.
hvd.hn5sem	There is no time to be lost. ” “ But how on earth did they find out our plans?"
hvd.hn5sem	There will be plenty of time later on for the luxury of grief. ” “ Wo n't you sit down? ” Ravenspur murmured.
hvd.hn5sem	Therefore, how did the bill get here?
hvd.hn5sem	They seemed to think that your sister was not altogether sane — but why should I torture you with these details?
hvd.hn5sem	Vera's mother is in a position to say — But what am I talking about?
hvd.hn5sem	Was he at all the sort of man to make enemies? ” “ The last man in the world, ” the witness said em- phatically.
hvd.hn5sem	Was he locked up?"
hvd.hn5sem	Was it pos- sible that she had been deceived all this time?
hvd.hn5sem	Was it possible that her sister was still alive?
hvd.hn5sem	Was the companion a man or a woman, might I ask? ” “ It was a lady, sir.
hvd.hn5sem	Was there some secret door which Lord Ravenspur used, and of which nobody knew anything?
hvd.hn5sem	We will put Bruno on the scent, and if- Hallo, what's this?"
hvd.hn5sem	What are the police thinking about? ” Ravenspur spoke in hot indignation; in fact, he was slightly overdoing it.
hvd.hn5sem	What are you looking about here for, John? ” “ That's my business, ” the other said sullenly.
hvd.hn5sem	What do you think hap- pened?
hvd.hn5sem	What is a man like that doing to make 78 THE MIDNIGHT GUEST an enemy, who is prepared to run the risk of being hanged for killing him?
hvd.hn5sem	What is all this I hear about one of the dogs? ” “ Oh, that is true enough, ” Walter laughed.
hvd.hn5sem	What is the grudge you have against my uncle?
hvd.hn5sem	What is the mean- ing of this outrage?
hvd.hn5sem	What is your name, for instance? ” The gleam in the stranger's eyes deepened in inten- sity, a quick frown knitted his brows.
hvd.hn5sem	What possible interest could Mr. Lance take in that diary?
hvd.hn5sem	What ran is there who has ever succeeded in penetrating the unfathomable depths of a woman's mind?
hvd.hn5sem	What was to pre- vent him returning again when the house was asleep 46 THE MIDNIGHT GUEST and finishing his work?
hvd.hn5sem	What would the officials at Waterloo think when we did n't turn up last night?
hvd.hn5sem	When did I take it from the safe, and why?
hvd.hn5sem	Where did it come from, and why did it agitate you so? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	Where do I come in? ” Maria Delahay threw up her hands with an impatient gesture.
hvd.hn5sem	Where? ” “ In this very studio; you painted it here, sir.
hvd.hn5sem	Who was it, he wondered, who came so late?
hvd.hn5sem	Why can not you let me alone?
hvd.hn5sem	Why con- tinue this unnecessary conversation?
hvd.hn5sem	Why do I hesitate in this way when boldness and decision would avert the danger? ” Ravenspur sat there, looking moodily into space.
hvd.hn5sem	Why do people pay money to sit in stuffy theatres and watch comedies and tragedies when they can see and hear the real, palpitating thing for nothing?
hvd.hn5sem	Why had they kept the knowledge from her?
hvd.hn5sem	Why run this risk when a few words would prevent any danger?
hvd.hn5sem	Why should that grave- looking official stoop down and imitate the motions of one who is stroking a dog?
hvd.hn5sem	Why you should come at such an inconvenient time? ” “ But why inconvenient? ” Mrs. Delahay protested.
hvd.hn5sem	Why you should come at such an inconvenient time? ” “ But why inconvenient? ” Mrs. Delahay protested.
hvd.hn5sem	Why, then, should she not go out and take a cab as far as Isleworth Road?
hvd.hn5sem	Why, then, should you go out of your way to suggest that he had even been here? ” “ I am coming to that, ” Walter said quietly.
hvd.hn5sem	Will you please go on? ” “ I am coming to the interesting part now,"Walter said.
hvd.hn5sem	Wo n't you take me into your confidence?
hvd.hn5sem	Would you mind finding Walter and sending him to me?"
hvd.hn5sem	Yes; she was a most extraor- dinary woman. ” “ Did you believe her guilty? ” Lance asked.
hvd.hn5sem	You are quite sure of this? ” “ I am absolutely certain, ” Mrs. Delahay replied.
hvd.hn5sem	You believe it still?
hvd.hn5sem	You can say why you went out and what for? ” “ I can not, ” Maria Delahay went on in the same even tones.
hvd.hn5sem	You did not know till you saw the papers the next day that you had made a mistake?"
hvd.hn5sem	You do n't mean to say that she is in court? ” The witness slowly turned and pointed a dingy fore- finger in the direction of Maria Delahay.
hvd.hn5sem	You know who I mean? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	You mean the Count's diary, which was not produced at the trial? ” Silva nodded feebly.
hvd.hn5sem	You recollect what a handsome man he was?
hvd.hn5sem	You see, I had never been in AT WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Ah, that I can not tell; but he was here right enough. ” “ He passed you in the corridor? ” “ That he most certainly did not.
hvd.hn5sem	“ And she denied it promptly, of course? ” “ She did.
hvd.hn5sem	“ And this is really a fact? ” Ravenspur cried.
hvd.hn5sem	“ And what became of the man?
hvd.hn5sem	“ And who brought it?
hvd.hn5sem	“ And why? ” “ Have I not just told you so? ” Silva went on.
hvd.hn5sem	“ And why? ” “ Have I not just told you so? ” Silva went on.
hvd.hn5sem	“ And your sister? ” Lance asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Are they never going to tire of this kind of thing?"
hvd.hn5sem	“ Are you going back to town? ” he asked the cabman.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Are you sure I ca n't help you? ” “ I am afraid not, my boy, ” Ravenspur said in a dull, mechanical way.
hvd.hn5sem	“ But what does it matter?
hvd.hn5sem	“ But what is wrong?
hvd.hn5sem	“ But, surely, you are not going to take it like this, sir?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Can it in the least matter? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Did I not bring you a letter from your mother? ” Vera started.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Did I not say that I had been a prisoner all those years?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Did n't you hear anything — a kind of horrible, muffled scream?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Did you see it, too? ” Walter exclaimed.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do n't you know?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do n't you recollect that blind organ- grinder that Vera was so in- terested in?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do n't you think one of you had better go inside and see what has AN UNEXPECTED FRIEND 253 become of my nephew?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you know what this contains? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you mean to say that Mr. Delahay was talking to himself?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you mean to say that you have actually paid a visit to this theatre? ” “ Certainly I have, sir.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you quite understand what you are doing? ” she said to the man opposite.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you realise that you are guilty of a criminal offence?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you really think so? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Do you want me to read any further, ” he said, 312 THE MIDNIGHT GUEST “ or is that sufficient?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Had n't you better go to bed, Vera?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Have I lied to you in any way?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Have I really, my dear?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Have you seen Vera?
hvd.hn5sem	“ How can I help you? ” the woman asked in the same dull, level voice.
hvd.hn5sem	“ How can I know?
hvd.hn5sem	“ How can the woman tell us all about THE CONFIDENTIAL AGENT it herself?
hvd.hn5sem	“ How did that get here? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ How did you get here? ” Then she remembered the dog had followed them from Park Lane.
hvd.hn5sem	“ How long is it since you identified the lady opposite? ” The witness looked about him as if he hardly under- stood the question.
hvd.hn5sem	“ How long is it, ” Walter asked,"since you wanted to run away and leave us?
hvd.hn5sem	“ How would you get yours? ” Lance laughed.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I am glad of that because now I know I was not mistaken. ” “ See what? ” Ravenspur asked, apparently busy with his notebook.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I came down here on business- “ What business? ” Venables said curtly.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I had to take their word for it. ” “ And you believed it?
hvd.hn5sem	“ I have never been here before! ” “ Why play with me? ” Walter asked contemptu- ously.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I saw her for an hour last night. ” “ What, down here? ” Walter exclaimed.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I suppose that was stolen property we caught Perks looking over? ” Ravenspur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I suppose there is nothing more you have to tell me? ” he said at length.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I suppose you Scotland Yard people keep yourselves au fait with most of the sensational crimes which take place on the Continent?
hvd.hn5sem	“ I suppose you do n't know what time the key was fetched again from the office? ” “ Oh, that I can not'ell you.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I suppose you have read it from cover to cover? ”.
hvd.hn5sem	“ I suppose you received the Countess's letter?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Is there anything more that I can do for you before I go to bed? ” Walter asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Is there anything you want? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Is there nothing humor- ous in the world outside the region of too much beer?
hvd.hn5sem	“ It is your duty to look after the rooms on the same floor as Mrs. Delahay's bedroom? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ May I suggest, Countess, that you go up to the poor man's bedroom at once?
hvd.hn5sem	“ My dear Seton, what is the matter?
hvd.hn5sem	“ My dear guardian, can I have a few moments'conversation with you?
hvd.hn5sem	“ My dear uncle, wo n't you trust me?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Not in a frame, I suppose? ” Lance asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Now is it not a fact that the Countess Flavio was notoriously a woman of evil disposition? ” “ Everybody said so,"Silva replied.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Now, what on earth put it into your head to ask if that man Valdo had any connection with the stolen pictures?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Save him! ” “ Of whom are you speaking? ” Ravenspur asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ She had just come in, I suppose?
hvd.hn5sem	“ So that is to be the end of it? ” Vera asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ So your friends have all gone? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Strange that it should not have come out before. ” “ But why should it, my dear uncle?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Surely you can guess who is with me in this busi- ness? ” he said.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Take care of that dog for you?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Tell us, did you hear any noise in the house, or any suspicious sounds? ” “ Nothing whatever.
hvd.hn5sem	“ That is what you are going to do? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ They heard nothing in the house? ” he asked anx- iously.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Walter, you recollect that little ornament which I bought in Rome, and subsequently gave to poor Delahay who took a great fancy to it?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Was it worth your while? ” “ Indeed, it was, as you will see for yourself, sir.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Was n't the portrait exhibited before it came back to the studio again?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Was your servant, Silva, in Park Lane disguised as a blind organ- grinder? ” “ I understand so,"the Countess went on.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Well, did you see it? ” the former asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Well, what of that?
hvd.hn5sem	“ What are those young men thinking about?
hvd.hn5sem	“ What are you talking about? ” the coroner inter- rupted.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What can there be to be afraid of after all these years?
hvd.hn5sem	“ What can you possibly want with me? ” she de- manded.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What can you want here at this hour? ” “ The studio, ” Mrs. Delahay gasped.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What could you do afterwards? ” Walter urged.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What do you mean by that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean exactly what I say.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What fresh trouble is this?"
hvd.hn5sem	“ What have I got to do with it?
hvd.hn5sem	“ What have we done that we should be treated in this way?
hvd.hn5sem	“ What have you two been plotting? ” she asked gaily.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What is friendship where money is concerned?
hvd.hn5sem	“ What is it, Walter? ” the latter asked hoarsely.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What is the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What is wrong? ” Venables demanded.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What of her? ” Again the woman hesitated.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What part of the house shall we try? ” Walter asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ What time did you retire on the night of the murder? ” “ Not before two o'clock,"the chambermaid replied.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Where did you find it? ” “ My dear fellow, I took it up off this table, as you might have done.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Where does it come from? ” “ The studio, ” Walter exclaimed.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Where have you been all the evening?"
hvd.hn5sem	“ Where is it? ” she gasped.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Who brought this? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Who can she be, uncle? ” Ravenspur had crossed the studio in the direction of a safe let into the wall.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Who has not heard of it? ” she said.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Why do n't you be candid with me?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Why do you come here persecuting me like this?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Why go into that? ” he said.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Will the poor fellow recover consciousness? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Will you permit me to call you a cab?
hvd.hn5sem	“ Wo n't you tell me what it is? ” he whispered.
hvd.hn5sem	“ Would it be inquiring too much if I asked who else is in this business? ” Silva smiled under cover of the darkness.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You are absolutely certain you are not mistaken? ” “ No, I am not mistaken.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You have n't enough to justify an immediate arrest, I suppose? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You have something very important? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You know nothing of my history? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You know where we are going? ” “ He told me part, ” Vera said.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You mean you had seen the picture before?
hvd.hn5sem	“ You remember Count Flavio and his brother twenty years ago?
hvd.hn5sem	“ You saw nothing suspicious in that? ” “ Well, no, ” the witness replied.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You see what I mean? ” “ Oh, I see perfectly well what you mean, sir,"In- spector Dallas replied.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You thought nothing of the lights going out? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You want as far as possible to avoid a scandal? ” “ Well, naturally,"Walter said warmly.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You want me to find the diary, do you not?
hvd.hn5sem	“ You will do nothing rash? ” she said.
hvd.hn5sem	“ You will find her for me? ” the Countess said timidly.
hvd.hn5sem	” “ Do you know who the child is? ” Ravenspur asked swiftly.
hvd.hwivwd	Be the Frenchmen landed? ” she inquired, sharply. hvd.hwivwd Tain't that:'tis the maid. ” “ How's mother?
hvd.hwivwd	'How's that?'
hvd.hwivwd	-------- “ IS IT BITTER, MY SON?"
hvd.hwivwd	-“Why should n't I wake the old man?
hvd.hwivwd	.."I've let off a blunderbust, afore now, an'I suppose'tis the same trick. ” “ And has it struck you that your body may be hard to dispose of?
hvd.hwivwd	1 “ Look here”—and he faced round sharply — “ I loved you passing well. ” “ Well?
hvd.hwivwd	127 “ And what the devil do you know about it? ” demanded the stranger.
hvd.hwivwd	139 “ Hey?"
hvd.hwivwd	263 sending me to bed while you fetch in all the countryside to lay me by the heels?
hvd.hwivwd	285 “ We? ” His foot was on the stair by this time.
hvd.hwivwd	:: “ How so?
hvd.hwivwd	A slight want of airiness in the double- shuffle, perhaps — — ” “ Could you do’t better?
hvd.hwivwd	Ai n't that so?
hvd.hwivwd	And a bottle of sound port to follow? ” Port upon home- brewed beer!
hvd.hwivwd	And the words were — “ Soldier, soldier, will you marry me, With the bagginet, fife and drum?'
hvd.hwivwd	And why did I want it?
hvd.hwivwd	Are you going?
hvd.hwivwd	Be any gone round by Cove Head to look out? ” “ Iss, a dozen or more.
hvd.hwivwd	Be you bound that way, too? ” “ Iss, I'll see her, if she's there."
hvd.hwivwd	Bitter, eh?
hvd.hwivwd	But what's the notion?
hvd.hwivwd	But, looking in your eyes, I'm not so sure of it. ” “ Of what?"
hvd.hwivwd	Can any man here show cause or just impediment why this marriage should not take place?
hvd.hwivwd	Can such things happen i ’ these days? ” “ Kneel and try. ” “ No, no, no, ” Zeb flung out his hands.
hvd.hwivwd	Chemistry?
hvd.hwivwd	Come, what are you waiting for?
hvd.hwivwd	D'ee think I raised ’ ee up so care- fully to chuck thyself away ’ pon a come- by- chance furriner?
hvd.hwivwd	Do you know of any manure better than the ore- weed you gather down at the Cove?
hvd.hwivwd	Do you see these?"
hvd.hwivwd	Does it strike you that, barring our faces, we might be twin brothers?
hvd.hwivwd	Dost see her, Zeb?
hvd.hwivwd	Eh, Cousin ’ Lizabeth? ” She turned her hot face to the flame, with- out reply; and he went on his way up the stairs.
hvd.hwivwd	Finding no help, she turned to William again, “ You believe I meant to rob you?"
hvd.hwivwd	First, then, you must know he's not dead at all-_"“ Who is not?"
hvd.hwivwd	Has it occurred to you, in the course of your negotiations, that the wicked occasionally stumble into pits of their own digging?
hvd.hwivwd	Hey, Sim Udy?
hvd.hwivwd	Hey?
hvd.hwivwd	How came it to slip my mind?
hvd.hwivwd	How many tall candlesticks have you in the house besides the pair here? ” he inquired of Prudy.
hvd.hwivwd	How much rope have'ee got, Jim?"
hvd.hwivwd	How's the fellow out yonder?
hvd.hwivwd	Hurry; for the bride must be at the church by this. ” “ What's the meanin'o't? ” Zeb repeated.
hvd.hwivwd	H’ain't you never had a young man?
hvd.hwivwd	I came to save'ee, if you'll be quick. ” “ How?
hvd.hwivwd	I mean so that — that you could lie down and let him tramp the life out o’you? ” “ Good Lord, girl, what questions you do ask!
hvd.hwivwd	I suppose you know a short cut to the church?
hvd.hwivwd	It's hard. ” “ What's hard?
hvd.hwivwd	Man, I'm not all sorry, either. ” “ Hey, why? ” “'Cause they'll not be worn agen, arter this night.
hvd.hwivwd	Man, is n't this cruel?"
hvd.hwivwd	May I ask why?
hvd.hwivwd	May I inquire your next move?"
hvd.hwivwd	Mean?
hvd.hwivwd	No?
hvd.hwivwd	Now, get into my clothes, and toss me over your own! ” “ What's the meanin'o't?
hvd.hwivwd	Oh, why did you come back to- night, of all nights? ” “ And why the devil not to- night so well as any other?
hvd.hwivwd	Oh, why did you come back to- night, of all nights? ” “ And why the devil not to- night so well as any other?
hvd.hwivwd	Only, what was the thing towards which I was being pulled?
hvd.hwivwd	Or that, if found, it may cause me some inconvenience? ” “ There's a quag on tother side o'the Castle* here.
hvd.hwivwd	Or the plan of malting grain to feed your cattle on through the winter?
hvd.hwivwd	Or the respective merits of oxen and horses as beasts of draught?
hvd.hwivwd	Ruby, my dear, the young man here wants to lave us. ” “ Leave us?"
hvd.hwivwd	Says I, better lave me use logic wi ’ en'-eh, Uncle Issy? ”.
hvd.hwivwd	Se 12 11 O what are'ee seekin', you seven fair maids, All under the leaves o'life; Come tell, come tell, what seek ye All under the leaves o'life?'
hvd.hwivwd	Shall I suit you?"
hvd.hwivwd	The parson stared and asked- “ Young Zeb, have you been drinking? ” “ No."
hvd.hwivwd	Was it simply because you risked less?
hvd.hwivwd	Was it to pass the time o'day wi'an aged shaken- by- the- wind kind o'loiterer they name Uncle Issy?"
hvd.hwivwd	Well, what d'ye say, Ruby? ” “ I say.
hvd.hwivwd	What came I out for to see?
hvd.hwivwd	What do'ee say, cousin?"
hvd.hwivwd	What on earth induced you to imagine I should trust you?
hvd.hwivwd	What was the name?
hvd.hwivwd	What's her name?"
hvd.hwivwd	What's that?
hvd.hwivwd	When's he comin'back? ” No one knew.
hvd.hwivwd	Where be I to look?
hvd.hwivwd	Where? ” “ I'the hall. ” “ But I ca n't come, just now. ” “ But you must. ” She followed him out.
hvd.hwivwd	Which will you take to warm yoursel?
hvd.hwivwd	Whither away?
hvd.hwivwd	Why,'od rabbet us! — what's wrong wi ’ that boy? ” All turned to Young Zeb, from whose throat uncomfortable sounds were issuing.
hvd.hwivwd	Why? ” “'Cause the gang is posted all round'ee.
hvd.hwivwd	Will you give up this other man?"
hvd.hwivwd	Will you marry me? ” She put out a hand to steady herself, and opened her lips.
hvd.hwivwd	Wo n't his father see me?
hvd.hwivwd	Would you mind telling me why you chose this particular form of treachery, in pre- ference( let us say) to poison or shooting from behind a hedge?
hvd.hwivwd	Would ’ ee mind catchin'hold o'the bed- post to give yoursel fortitude?
hvd.hwivwd	Ye are a loyal man-eh, farmer?
hvd.hwivwd	You hear?
hvd.hwivwd	You must n't. ” « Must n't?'
hvd.hwivwd	You were speaking good of me, I hope. ” “ Which o'your ears is burning? ” “ Both. ” “ Then it shu'd be the left ear only.
hvd.hwivwd	You'd best look slippy. ” “ Where's the coin?

hvd.hnnxgz	But surely you remember who bought the very first magnum put up for sale? ”. hvd.hnnxgz How long do you want that loan for?'
hvd.hnnxgz	How?
hvd.hnnxgz	Indeed, sir? hvd.hnnxgz Is Mr. Clifton a very keen buyer of rare wines? ” “ Well — no, I have n't noticed that he is.
hvd.hnnxgz	Is it possible, ” he added, “ that he could have known of Hahn's little game, and cut into it by buying the bottle containing the jewel? hvd.hnnxgz 224 THE GREEN DIAMOND plan for stealing the diamond and at the same time gaining credit for faithful vigilance? hvd.hnnxgz A BOX OF ODDMENTS 207 “ Is n't there a letter? ” asked Daisy. hvd.hnnxgz A kick- kack- I forget what it is called. ” “ Kakemono? ” “ Ah, that's it. hvd.hnnxgz And does n't it just scandalize the villa residents, too? hvd.hnnxgz And now where is Mr. Norie's studio? ” The clerk shut his desk and came into the street again, carefully locking the door behind him. hvd.hnnxgz And was Hahn at his back through the whole transaction? hvd.hnnxgz And what is it all? ” “ What it seems to mean, in the first place, is that more people are after this diamond than I had supposed. hvd.hnnxgz And what might it have cost? ” “ That I ca n't tell you, either. hvd.hnnxgz And, if that is so, why did he buy the one? ” But that was a conundrum that nobody could answer. hvd.hnnxgz And, in any case, who could have sent the note? hvd.hnnxgz Anything before I came in, I mean? ” “ Oh, yes — in a general sort of way. hvd.hnnxgz Anything unusual, eh? ”. hvd.hnnxgz Are they sent by the rajah to recover it, or are they men who are in the secret of its dis- appearance, and wish to get it for themselves? hvd.hnnxgz As I suppose they will try to do now? ” Harvey Crook shrugged his shoulders. hvd.hnnxgz Burglary? hvd.hnnxgz But I was n't to know you meant the same Charley, was I? hvd.hnnxgz But did you hear any more about this fellow Pooley? hvd.hnnxgz But first, does the landlady give you any information of value? ” “ Nothing much. hvd.hnnxgz But how could any one have guessed that Hahn would pay such a sum? hvd.hnnxgz But it's stolen property, you know. ” “ Stolen property? hvd.hnnxgz But see — 200 THE GREEN DIAMOND you'll come and dine with us, wo n't you? hvd.hnnxgz But suppose you had found that great green diamond in your magnum of Tokay, do n't you think you would have suspected the meaning of the message then? hvd.hnnxgz But surely ye stand by your offer, man? ” “ I made my offer once, and you would n't have it. hvd.hnnxgz But was that all you wanted to tell me? hvd.hnnxgz But what shall I do with it when I get it home? hvd.hnnxgz But who was Pooley?
hvd.hnnxgz	But why this get- up? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	But why, again?
hvd.hnnxgz	But why?"
hvd.hnnxgz	By the way, what's the day of the month? ” “ Nineteenth, ” replied McNab.
hvd.hnnxgz	Can you get me those London papers for the last three days or so?
hvd.hnnxgz	Come, Daisy, d'you think you're equal to runnin'up to London again to- night?
hvd.hnnxgz	Could it be possible that Hahn was taking this short cut to the bottle of To- kay?
hvd.hnnxgz	Crook?".
hvd.hnnxgz	Did you come here to see me?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Did you hear about the awful row at my little show? ” “ Something about a drunken model, was n't it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Did you hear about the awful row at my little show? ” “ Something about a drunken model, was n't it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Did you know him?
hvd.hnnxgz	Do n't you got no petter vays to gollect your vines as dis? ” cried Norie, with a vile attempt at a German accent.
hvd.hnnxgz	Do the facts suggest anything else — can they suggest anything else, in- deed? ” The two men walked back along Oxford Street, in deep thought.
hvd.hnnxgz	Do you mind?
hvd.hnnxgz	Do you want that again?'
hvd.hnnxgz	Do you'low I'm awake, Mr. Crook? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	Does Hahn know about them, and if so, are they working with him or against him?
hvd.hnnxgz	Eh?
hvd.hnnxgz	For how should he know which particular magnum that diamond was con- cealed in?
hvd.hnnxgz	For what could it mean, this anxiety to impress on a stranger his identity, the date, and the time of his stay in Southampton?
hvd.hnnxgz	Gone by train?
hvd.hnnxgz	Had n't you better take a copy this time?'
hvd.hnnxgz	Have you got a newspaper, or something white? ” Daisy brought a napkin from the sideboard and spread it out on the table.
hvd.hnnxgz	Have you had that other collector round at the office yet? ” “ Rather! ” Mr. Symons chuckled, joy- ously.
hvd.hnnxgz	He did n't bid for any other bottles, did he? ” Daisy Merrick shook her head.
hvd.hnnxgz	He had a magnum him- self. ” “ What?
hvd.hnnxgz	He lives here, of course? ” “ Yes — I'll show you the way, if you like.
hvd.hnnxgz	He sent his luggage before you came. ” “ Eh?
hvd.hnnxgz	He took it away with him under his arm. ” “ An artist, you say?"
hvd.hnnxgz	He usually pays cash. ” “ And you remembered the circumstance to- day?"
hvd.hnnxgz	He wo n't mind, will he?"
hvd.hnnxgz	He would n't need to go to Isaacs to sell that, would he?"
hvd.hnnxgz	He's just bought a magnum of old Imperial Tokay. ” “ Imperial Tokay?
hvd.hnnxgz	Henry Crook, I believe? ” Mr. Merrick paused, for there chanced to be two Crooks aboard.
hvd.hnnxgz	How did this one get here?
hvd.hnnxgz	How did you find it?
hvd.hnnxgz	How much for the lot? ” McNab drew a long breath and looked hard in his customer's eye.
hvd.hnnxgz	How was it?
hvd.hnnxgz	How?
hvd.hnnxgz	I called on you on your ship to inquire about some wine — you remember now, do n't you?
hvd.hnnxgz	I changed my mind and bought one back the very same night! ” “ Where is it?"
hvd.hnnxgz	I did nothing but sit and take what came of it. ”"He lent you the money to start, did n't he, father? ” “ He did — and he was a stranger.
hvd.hnnxgz	I really think this is worth following up. ” “ Better than your own tack? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	I say, ” he added, turning suddenly to Crook, “ I s'pose I really am awake?
hvd.hnnxgz	I suppose they'll be kept somewhere? ” “ Well, sir; no, sir; not kept, sir, not very long, I should say, sir,"the man answered.
hvd.hnnxgz	I suppose you'd have no difficulty, Mr. Crook, in identifying Pritch- ard if you saw him? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	If I have anything else for you — on the same terms — I suppose you wo n't mind my calling and saying so, W eh? ” “ Not a bit.
hvd.hnnxgz	In short, an alibi?
hvd.hnnxgz	Is it a deal? ” This certainly seemed a more likely offer than the other.
hvd.hnnxgz	Is that all? ” “ I think so, at present.
hvd.hnnxgz	Is the picture certified in any way?
hvd.hnnxgz	Is there anything you can remember to add to that, sir? ” “ No,"Crook replied; “ nothing what- ever."
hvd.hnnxgz	It beat everything! ” “ Broke up the show, of course. ” “ Broke it up?
hvd.hnnxgz	It's lucky my passage was booked — they're pretty well crowded up. ” “ That's the Rajapur, is n't it?
hvd.hnnxgz	It's old Mr. Clifton. ” “ And who is he? ” “ Ah — of course you would n't know, not living hereabout.
hvd.hnnxgz	Know Boaler? ” “ Know of him; never employed him.
hvd.hnnxgz	McNab?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Meantime, as I do not take cheese, is it asking too much to beg you to excuse me once more?
hvd.hnnxgz	Meldon. ” “ That your selection? ” repeated Merrick, doubtfully.
hvd.hnnxgz	Mer- rick turned to Crook and whispered:"What does it mean? ” he said.
hvd.hnnxgz	Might a man ask what's your callin', any- way? ” Harvey Crook laughed.
hvd.hnnxgz	Might not the Eye of Goona have been stolen already, before the rajah's train came to Delhi, and the imitation left in its place?
hvd.hnnxgz	Might that confederate be Hahn?
hvd.hnnxgz	Not a mail- boat?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Not very bad, I iż THE GREEN DIAMOND hope?
hvd.hnnxgz	Now do n't that strike you as a pretty probable guess?
hvd.hnnxgz	Now is n't that very suspicious?
hvd.hnnxgz	Now who are they?
hvd.hnnxgz	Or have you got some of the magnums for me? ”"No — not quite that.
hvd.hnnxgz	Perhaps you do n't remember him? ” “ I do n't think I do."
hvd.hnnxgz	Perhaps — who could tell?
hvd.hnnxgz	Quite posi- tively? ” “ Yes — there's no doubt, ” Crook an- swered.
hvd.hnnxgz	Savvy?
hvd.hnnxgz	See? ” He cut open the brown- paper parcel, and took therefrom a neat light overcoat and a crush hat.
hvd.hnnxgz	See?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Shall we knock? ” Crook laid his hand on his companion's arm, and listened again.
hvd.hnnxgz	Should he do anything to remind his host of his presence?
hvd.hnnxgz	So you're a judge of orchids, eh? ” “ Orchids and — other things.
hvd.hnnxgz	Soon, I ex- pect?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Speaks excellent English, but is a foreigner? ” MR. POOLEY'S MAGNUM 167 II.
hvd.hnnxgz	Surely Mr. Crook did n't want the poor dealer to be real mad?
hvd.hnnxgz	Surely Mr. Crook did n't want to be thought real mean?
hvd.hnnxgz	Tell me. ” “ Drunken model?
hvd.hnnxgz	That is, Mr. Crook, if that's your plan, and if I'm not intermed- dlin'? ” “ Not at all.
hvd.hnnxgz	That was the proper way, you see. ” “ And how did you get the diamond? ” “ Simple stratagem.
hvd.hnnxgz	That's satisfactory, I hope? ” Mr. Symons's quick little eyes positively sparkled amid the darkness.
hvd.hnnxgz	That's the way with those Indian dia- monds, I guess?
hvd.hnnxgz	The chief steward?
hvd.hnnxgz	The housekeeper of whose welfare her master had W"THERE LAY THE BUNDLE OF CLOTHES A WOMAN MR. CLIFTON'S MAGNUM 115 been so solicitous?
hvd.hnnxgz	Then he added, “ Say, is that case of wine in the hold? ” “ No — I've got it in my cabin.
hvd.hnnxgz	Then why not say,'Come back at one- thirty or eight?'
hvd.hnnxgz	They're the sort of people that never see the humour of anything, and because I laughed — who would n't?
hvd.hnnxgz	Thirty- eight Meldon Street, or road, or what not?
hvd.hnnxgz	This chip of marble and the little piece of brass tube would scarcely be used as a di- rection by a person unfamiliar with London, would they?
hvd.hnnxgz	Though, after all, a few days is not so long to be parted from a friend- an ordinary friend- is it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Thought- ful of him to provide a funnel, was n't it?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Two hundred pounds?
hvd.hnnxgz	Under- stand? ” “ I think I do.
hvd.hnnxgz	Very extraordinary, is n't it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Want me to do anything for you aboard? ” Harvey Crook was sitting by the bed, and Hahn took him by the wrist.
hvd.hnnxgz	Want me to take it to a customer at home? ” “ No, no — not to a customer; only to take it and see it is n't damaged.
hvd.hnnxgz	Was it a mere blind?
hvd.hnnxgz	We'll just — what was that? ” He stood stock- still, his face pallid, his palm raised, his eyes directed toward the door, listening intently.
hvd.hnnxgz	Weel, an ’ what might ye be thinkin'of offering for the bottle of wine?
hvd.hnnxgz	Well, what's your next move with that? ” They had returned to the hotel after the inquest, and were refreshing themselves with tea.
hvd.hnnxgz	What abomination is this? ” roared Norie; and, as he said it, his eye fell on the cowering Hahn.
hvd.hnnxgz	What better introduction to the owner than to seize burglars as they were entering the place?
hvd.hnnxgz	What but a careful preparation for a later proof, if it were necessary, of his absence from London on the night of the eighteenth?
hvd.hnnxgz	What d'ye mean? ” “ I had a big offer for it on the voyage — double your best price — so of course I closed for you.
hvd.hnnxgz	What did it mean?
hvd.hnnxgz	What did it mean?
hvd.hnnxgz	What did this mean — the police?
hvd.hnnxgz	What do you make of that?"
hvd.hnnxgz	What does it mean? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	What does that suggest to you? ” “ Mehta Singh and Jatterjil ” replied Crook promptly.
hvd.hnnxgz	What else of so great value could be kept in such a bottle?
hvd.hnnxgz	What else should Hahn be afraid to have in his belong- ings in Delhi?
hvd.hnnxgz	What have you done with the bottle you changed this for, eh? ” Hahn protested and pleaded dismally.
hvd.hnnxgz	What more likely place of concealment than in a dark bottle of old wine?
hvd.hnnxgz	What other expedient is open to him?
hvd.hnnxgz	What other great jewel had been lost?
hvd.hnnxgz	What was the meaning of this odd communication to the police, and who could have sent it?
hvd.hnnxgz	What was this — the housekeeper?
hvd.hnnxgz	What was this?
hvd.hnnxgz	What would he do?
hvd.hnnxgz	What?
hvd.hnnxgz	What?
hvd.hnnxgz	What?"
hvd.hnnxgz	When will you be going back home?
hvd.hnnxgz	Where does he live?"
hvd.hnnxgz	Where is it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Where was the passionate enthusi- asm, the delighted wonder, that Mr. Clifton's letter had led him to expect as a matter of course?
hvd.hnnxgz	Where were you in it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Where will you stay in London? ” “ At Standish's Hotel.
hvd.hnnxgz	Where's my bottle?
hvd.hnnxgz	Who did it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Why not the letter? ” “ Again I think that tells us something.
hvd.hnnxgz	Why should it?
hvd.hnnxgz	Why should n't it mean an address?
hvd.hnnxgz	Why, seeing that he regarded it as so valuable a possession?
hvd.hnnxgz	Why, that's just the thing! ” “ What? ” “ Why, the Tokay; I was just thinking.
hvd.hnnxgz	Why?
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you be at home all the evening? ” “ At home?
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you be at home all the evening? ” “ At home?
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you come?
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you excuse me for one moment?
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you send for a drop of brandy, Crook?
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you take it with you now? ” “ Yes, if you like.
hvd.hnnxgz	Will you?
hvd.hnnxgz	Wrong time of year for fever, is n't it?"
hvd.hnnxgz	You know what I could do, but if you'll go halves I'll say nothing about it! ” 78 THE GREEN DIAMOND “ Go halves? ” cried the amazed Norie.
hvd.hnnxgz	You know, of course, that in Japan the work of the ancient Chinese painters is more highly prized than in China itself. ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hnnxgz	You noticed the windows?
hvd.hnnxgz	You remember that when it originally vanished from the rajah's tent, a neat imitation took its place?
hvd.hnnxgz	You remember the shindy about the Green Eye of Goona? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	You'd say, gentlemen, looking at that glass case and all that, he did think something of it, would n't you? ”"Oh, of course,"answered Crook.
hvd.hnnxgz	You'll be sure to take particular care none of the bottles are broken, wo n't you?
hvd.hnnxgz	You'll be vairy fond of that Tokay wine, I'm thinkin'? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	You'll take it for me, wo n't you? ” “ Oh, yes, I'll take it.
hvd.hnnxgz	You've never seen any since, have you? ” McNab shook his head gloomily.
hvd.hnnxgz	what does it matter?
hvd.hnnxgz	you did that before you sent your precious printed and pasted letter, then? ” “ Of course.
hvd.hnnxgz	you must be very fond of that wine? ” “ Well — yes; as a collector, you see.
hvd.hnnxgz	— I be- lieve they thought I'd done the whole thing on purpose! ” “ And it was Charley, was it?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Ah, Mr. McNab, how do you do? ” cried Hahn, with a very elaborate cordiality.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ And as to the other inquiries, I expect some of them came from a man named Hahn, did n't they?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Any security?'
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Anybody missing from the house? ” A BOX OF ODDMENTS 231 Wickes looked a little oddly at Crook.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Are you only just beginning to regret your speculation, father? ” asked Daisy.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ As to wine now,"asked the gray man, presently, “ what are your preferences?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ But who has done this? ” Merrick asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ But you understand my awkward situation, do n't you?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Did n't you see the numberless valuable things lying about below loose?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Did that satisfy him?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Do n't talk to her of business matters, I suppose? ” “ Yes — in a general way; but not in de- tail.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Do you happen to have seen that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Does n't it look a little redundant?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Eh?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Even if he has already parted with it to Isaacs?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Even if he were dead? ”"Dead?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Even if he were dead? ”"Dead?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Expectin'to receive a parcel, maybe? ” asked Merrick.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Have they got your ekka?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ How did it come here? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ How long do you stay in Southampton?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ How's that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ I offered you a good price for that bottle of wine, you know, did n't I?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ It must go to the Yard as soon as possible. ” “ Why on earth should they leave it behind them? ” asked Merrick.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ It's a green wine, and very sweet. ” “ And you emptied it, quite to the bottom? ” Still Hahn regarded Crook with the same in- tent gaze.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Luck?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ May I look at it? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ McNab?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Me? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Never spoke to him, I suppose? ” the de- tective asked, keenly.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ No? ” replied Crook.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Now I'd wager that with all this desire for solitude and all his other eccentricities, he's a very pleasant old fellow to speak to?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Oh! ” he cried, the wrong explanation dawning on him sud- denly, “ this is your game, is it?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Oh, you know it, do you? ” he said.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Old Tokay's always unusual, is n't it? ” Crook answered.

hvd.hnnxgz	“ Ruined-- plenty for both – take me into it- anything unusual — what was he driving at? ” he mused.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Ruined? ” retorted Crook.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Satisfactory? ” he said.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Satisfy him?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Sold?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ That's the game, is it? ” said Wickes, pointing to the bottle.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ They were starred into the catalogue, were n't they? ” “ Yes — Mr. Merrick only brought them in on the morning of the sale."
hvd.hnnxgz	“ They'd scarcely put it up in one lot, would they? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ This is Indian. ” “ Indian? ” “ Yes — let me count those seeds.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ This is all square? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ This'll be best, sir, wo n't it?"
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Twenty?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Unless you want to keep the wine for your- self? ” No; McNab obviously did not want to keep the magnum for himself.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Was he a dealer? ” “ Some sort of chap of that sort, I think.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Well, and what's your luck with the Eye of Goona? ” asked a voice at his elbow.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What amount of profit would ye be disposed to offer? ” “ I'll give, ” said Smith, “ four quid a bottle."
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What can I do for you?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What does that mean? ” he observed.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What were you thinking of doing? ” 60 THE GREEN DIAMOND asked Crook, when they were all three safe on the studio floor.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What's this doing up above? ” Merrick exclaimed, awe- stricken.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What's this? ” asked Merrick, staring.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ What's up?".
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Who sold it? ” Hahn asked, eagerly, gathering his faculties again.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Who was the auctioneer? ”.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Who's that? ” he cried, indig- nantly, peering back over his shoulder.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Why should Pritchard go to Isaacs?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Why? ” “ Dirt- dirt half an inch thick.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Whạt — what's that? ” he exclaimed, al- most in a whisper.
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Will you?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Wo n't take it?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ Would you like to step inside?
hvd.hnnxgz	“ You ai n't pulling my leg? ” “ Indeed I'm not.

hvd.hnp4hj	And if they recognize, but are helpless?.
hvd.hnp4hj	And in that event how shall you act?
hvd.hnp4hj	And is Dr. Stuart agreeable to placing his unusual knowledge at our disposal for the purposes of this case?
hvd.hnp4hj	And what is the weapon which the cowled mag 166 THE GOLDEN SCORPION( wbo may be The Scorpion') uses to remove Dr. Stuart? hvd.hnp4hj Anything to report, Sowerby?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Are you disengaged?
hvd.hnp4hj	Are you sure that there is no other in your own?
hvd.hnp4hj	Are you sure?
hvd.hnp4hj	But he was n't actually drunk?
hvd.hnp4hj	But where,muttered Dunbar,"is Dr. Stuart?
hvd.hnp4hj	Can it really be, M. Max, that we have to deal with an upcrop of some deeply- seated evil which resides in the Far East? hvd.hnp4hj Complexion? ” “ Wonderful.
hvd.hnp4hj	Did I not, ” he whispered, with an intense ardour in his soft voice,—did I not lay my life, my service, all I have, at your feet?
hvd.hnp4hj	Did the Grand Duke make any statement at the time of the seizure which would confirm the theory of a heart attack?
hvd.hnp4hj	Did you obtain a glimpse of Rob Roy's piper?.
hvd.hnp4hj	Did you submit to Dr. Stuart the broken gold ornament?
hvd.hnp4hj	Did you take the letter into the study to seal it in the other envelope?
hvd.hnp4hj	Do n't like to'ear about your wicked past, do you?
hvd.hnp4hj	Do you know what happened? hvd.hnp4hj Eyes?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Four?
hvd.hnp4hj	Had about enough, ai n't you, mate?
hvd.hnp4hj	Has anyone else viewed the body?
hvd.hnp4hj	Has the golden scorpion anything to do with the matter?
hvd.hnp4hj	He is there?
hvd.hnp4hj	He was dead?
hvd.hnp4hj	He was referring to the man with the veil?
hvd.hnp4hj	He would be in here alone?
hvd.hnp4hj	Her jewellery?
hvd.hnp4hj	How did you open the drawer?
hvd.hnp4hj	How is that?
hvd.hnp4hj	How many are here?
hvd.hnp4hj	Hullol ” he cried, “ is that you, Sowerby? ” “ Yes,I replied in Sowerby's voice.
hvd.hnp4hj	I see the question in your eyes — why did I do it? hvd.hnp4hj I try twice before,"she confessed,"and can not open it. ”"Ahl And- has someone else tried also?"
hvd.hnp4hj	I will ask you · another question: have you attempted to open that drawer prior to this evening?
hvd.hnp4hj	If I tell you — will you let me go?
hvd.hnp4hj	If I tell you, will you promise to believe me and to go?
hvd.hnp4hj	If it's not a rude question, how on earth did this happen?
hvd.hnp4hj	If you please,called the girl, detaining her-"do you permit me to speak on the telephone a moment?
hvd.hnp4hj	In the stress of recent years has the Haley torpedo made its appearance so that we might learn to which Govern- ment the plans had been taken? hvd.hnp4hj Is Dr. Stuart there?
hvd.hnp4hj	Is he still alive- this man?
hvd.hnp4hj	Is it necessary for him to trace me? hvd.hnp4hj Is there something else which we may learn from the experiences of Dr. Stuart?
hvd.hnp4hj	It was in your consulting- room that he asked you to take charge of the envelope?
hvd.hnp4hj	It was you who rang up that night?
hvd.hnp4hj	It's a sort of lodging house, then?
hvd.hnp4hj	Listen, then: BAITING THE TRAP IZI I am going to take all my notes to my friend, the doctor, and leave them with him, sealed- sealed, you follow me? hvd.hnp4hj Mademoiselle,"I said,"is this gentleman annoy- ing you?
hvd.hnp4hj	Might I ask, ” he said, “ who you are and what you are doing in my house? ” “ Ah! ” The stranger laughed merrily. hvd.hnp4hj My affairs bring me here sometimes. ”"You are well acquainted with the neighbour- hood?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Now, I tell you the truth. ”That you are a petty thief?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Now- from her accent what should you judge her nationality to be?
hvd.hnp4hj	Oh, what do you mean?
hvd.hnp4hj	Or are you angry with yourself for seeing me?
hvd.hnp4hj	Pardon my density, Mrs. M'Gregor, but- er- the Warning? hvd.hnp4hj Pardon my density, Mrs. M'Gregor, but- er- the Warning?

hvd.hnp4hj	Shall I tell you?
hvd.hnp4hj	She'd have 14 THE GOLDEN SCORPION Mrs. M'Gregor, betraying, in her interest, real suspicion, murmured sotto voce:Then she is a patient?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Sir Frank Narcombe is?
hvd.hnp4hj	So! ” he said,we are all leaving England?
hvd.hnp4hj	Someone else?
hvd.hnp4hj	Something in my line?
hvd.hnp4hj	Tall?
hvd.hnp4hj	The last time he visited you, doctor — the time when he gave you the envelope- did the cabman wait here in the waiting- room?
hvd.hnp4hj	Then the cabman was n't Max? ” cried Sowerby eagerly. hvd.hnp4hj There goes the first fish into Dunbar's ne:?"
hvd.hnp4hj	There is nothing further you'll be wanting to- night?
hvd.hnp4hj	Was the table- lamp alight?
hvd.hnp4hj	Well?
hvd.hnp4hj	Were you personally acquainted with the late Van Rembold?
hvd.hnp4hj	What became of those stolen plans?
hvd.hnp4hj	What brought you back to the Yard? ” he asked. hvd.hnp4hj What build of a man was he?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What d'you mean, Inspector? hvd.hnp4hj What for? ” I asked, and remembering a rare fragment of idiom:"What's up with you?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What for? ” I asked, and remembering a rare fragment of idiom:What's up with you?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What make of cab was it?
hvd.hnp4hj	What shall we do,said Stuart,"if you are summoned?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What would it be, ” she said softly, “ but the Pib- roch o'the M'Gregors?
hvd.hnp4hj	What's that?
hvd.hnp4hj	What's that?
hvd.hnp4hj	What?
hvd.hnp4hj	Where did you obtain this key; and why?
hvd.hnp4hj	Where were you when he gave you the en- velope? ” he snapped suddenly. hvd.hnp4hj Why do you say that?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why is it not closed?
hvd.hnp4hj	Why was it not announced outside the theatre?
hvd.hnp4hj	Would he have had time to find the box, cut out the piece of cardboard from the lid, put it in the envelope and seal it?
hvd.hnp4hj	You are convinced that there was no foul play, gentlemen?
hvd.hnp4hj	You have read my statement, of course?
hvd.hnp4hj	You only speak French?
hvd.hnp4hj	You perceive the drift of my argument?
hvd.hnp4hj	You recall the episode? hvd.hnp4hj You think"—the Hindu's voice was hoarse with emotion—"that he will trace you — and kill you?"
hvd.hnp4hj	You think, no doubt, that there are no slaves in Cairo?
hvd.hnp4hj	Your memory is guid, Mr. Keppel. ”And when, exactly, did you hear this Warning?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Your own escape is just possible, if some vessel awaits you; but do you imagine for a moment that you can carry me to China and elude pursuit?
hvd.hnp4hj	'But what on earth do you want to leave it with me for?'
hvd.hnp4hj	'Her price?'
hvd.hnp4hj	'Is n't that the proper course?"
hvd.hnp4hj	'Where do you want to go?"
hvd.hnp4hj	'You will have no THE GOLDEN SCORPION objection,'I said,'to this being posted if it isa't reclaimed within a reasonable time?'
hvd.hnp4hj	..."Could he believe her?
hvd.hnp4hj	39"If I swear that I speak the truth, will you believe me?"
hvd.hnp4hj	A man... wearing a sort of cowl":"Oh?"
hvd.hnp4hj	About the body of Max..""Eh! ” said Dunbar—"what's that?
hvd.hnp4hj	After all, what crime had she committed?
hvd.hnp4hj	After all, what crime had she committed?
hvd.hnp4hj	After- let me see how many years is it, Mrs. M'Gregor?"
hvd.hnp4hj	All damn lie,"muttered the Chinaman. “"Hol a lie is it?"
hvd.hnp4hj	And are these the only occasions upon which you have heard this mysterious sound, Mrs. M'Gregor?"
hvd.hnp4hj	And did he know where I lived?
hvd.hnp4hj	And the famous picture which she had sent to the Grand Duke?
hvd.hnp4hj	And the slaves — are they ever admitted outside the walls of the palace?
hvd.hnp4hj	And where is'The Scorpion'?"
hvd.hnp4hj	And why mark the envelope 30?"
hvd.hnp4hj	And why, if they could establish a claim to it, had they preferred to attempt to steal it?
hvd.hnp4hj	Are all these cases, not the work of individual crim- inals but manifestations of a more sinister, a darker force?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Are they ever admitted to the harêm?.
hvd.hnp4hj	Are you sure your image ination is not playing you tricks?"
hvd.hnp4hj	At first I tell you a lie, yes. ”"And now?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Being pat turungi 21. z 2 necessary fee in the sea"Is that the Corse's Esg Yard?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Being put through and having deposited the necessary fee in the box:"Is that the Commisioner's Office, New Scotland, Yard?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Blank,'shall we say?
hvd.hnp4hj	But the Hindu, drawing her nearer, repeated with subdued fierce- ness:"I ask it again — but you?"
hvd.hnp4hj	But was he aware that Charles Malet was Gaston Max?
hvd.hnp4hj	But what could be his object?
hvd.hnp4hj	But you? ” The woman raised her finger to her lips, glancing fearfully towards the open door.
hvd.hnp4hj	Can you give me any kind of a description of him?".
hvd.hnp4hj	Can you give me copies of the specialists'reports and other particulars?
hvd.hnp4hj	Can you not imagine a dreadful sudden menace, not of men and guns but of brains and capital?".
hvd.hnp4hj	Can you suggest one?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Did I not tell you that-he- had cast his eyes upon you?
hvd.hnp4hj	Did Miska still remain?
hvd.hnp4hj	Did he do so without your instructions?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Did you say Max?
hvd.hnp4hj	Do I make myself clear?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Do you believe this?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Do you follow me?
hvd.hnp4hj	Do you hear nothing?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Do you know of any particular house, or houses, likely to be used as a meeting- place by such a gang?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Do you see that somewhat peculiarly con- structed chair, yonder?
hvd.hnp4hj	Does it surprise you do"Did it not surprise you?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Dorian first called here just a week ago, and immediately before I returned from an Infirmary case?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Dorian, or the person instructing her, traced the envelope to his study?
hvd.hnp4hj	Dorian?
hvd.hnp4hj	Dorian?
hvd.hnp4hj	Dr. Keppel Stuart?
hvd.hnp4hj	Finally, why all this disturbo ance about a blank piece of cardboard?
hvd.hnp4hj	For the extra- ordinary thing about the stranger's appearance was this: he also wore a thick green veill""Covering his face?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Had Dr. Stuart sent for the Inspector?
hvd.hnp4hj	Had he perchance unwittingly made him- self a party to the escapade of some unruly member of a noble family?
hvd.hnp4hj	Have I not told you so?"
hvd.hnp4hj	He flicked the ash from his cigarette and resumed:"Without mentioning names, the experts con-?
hvd.hnp4hj	He is speaking?
hvd.hnp4hj	How long ago would that be, doctor?"
hvd.hnp4hj	I do not profit, you think?
hvd.hnp4hj	I hear that someone was pulling your leg last night. ”"What do you mean exactly, Sowerby?"
hvd.hnp4hj	I turned to the dancer, touching the peak of my"Can I be of any assistance to mademoiselle?"
hvd.hnp4hj	If I tell you that my only chance of life- such a little, little chance — is to stay, will you go?"
hvd.hnp4hj	If in naught else, in this at least surely she had been sincere?
hvd.hnp4hj	Is it out?
hvd.hnp4hj	Is the Commissioner here?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Is there a River Police boat near?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Is there nothing human in your heart?
hvd.hnp4hj	It seems to establish a link with China, do n't you think?"
hvd.hnp4hj	It was at the house of Dr. Stuart, I take it, that you received the unex- plained message?"
hvd.hnp4hj	It was his big case, and it got THE RED CIRCLE 175 him a fine billet as Superintendent in Cairo if you remember?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Leaving Dr. Halesowen out of the question, are you open to act as expert adviser in this case?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Let us hope to guess more- and learn eves thing! ” “ May I suggest, ” added Dunbar,"that we he s Sowerby's report, sir?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Looking all about me suspiciously:"Am I right in supposing that you have business in this part of London?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Max? ”?
hvd.hnp4hj	Max? ”?
hvd.hnp4hj	May I ask where you obtained the frage ment?"
hvd.hnp4hj	On the other hand, what can have been filched from THE RED CIRCLE en tOS Plai Red or mouth Ssed him before his death?
hvd.hnp4hj	Only three months after the Grand Duke's death, the American admiral, Mackney, died at sea — you will remember?
hvd.hnp4hj	Remember the'dive'in'Frisco, Pidgin?
hvd.hnp4hj	Returning again to the garage, I wondered very much who he had been, this one, “ Le Balafré. ”- Could it be that he was"The Scorpion"?
hvd.hnp4hj	Sergeant Sowerby has marked vocal mannerisms —""Which would be fairly easy to imitate?
hvd.hnp4hj	Shall I make inquiries?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Should I follow the car or the man?
hvd.hnp4hj	Should you care to come, doctor? ”"I am expecting a patient, Inspector,"replied Stuart-"er- a special case.
hvd.hnp4hj	So you would like me to find some poor inoffensive girl to share my struggles?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Suppose he has written that it is here people meet together? ”.
hvd.hnp4hj	That you, Inspector?
hvd.hnp4hj	The death of an invens 2 a statesman, a soldier, can be variously explai 3 by your'Yellow'hypothesis, M. Max, but what the death of a surgeon?"
hvd.hnp4hj	The name of M. Gaston Max will no doubt be familiar to you?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Then in any event he is the man we want to watch?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Then, six weeks ago, Sir Frank Narcombe, the surgeon, fell dead in the foyer of a West- End theatre- you remember?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Then:"Is that Battersea 0996? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp4hj	Then:"You want me to come around now, doctor?
hvd.hnp4hj	This ray, Dr. Stuart, which played such havoc in your study- do you know of anything approach- ing to it in more recent scientific devices?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Under the influence of that drug, my friends, how many of those secrets may they not have divulged?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Weighed against the undoubted fact that she was a member of a dangerous criminal group what was it worth?
hvd.hnp4hj	What could I do?
hvd.hnp4hj	What do British residents and French residents know of the inner domestic life of their Oriental neighbours?
hvd.hnp4hj	What have these men in com- mon with me?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What have you stolen?".
hvd.hnp4hj	What obstacle did a surgeon offer to this hypothetical Eastern movement?
hvd.hnp4hj	What of Gaston Max, foremost criminologi Europe, who now lay dead and mutilated in an] End mortuary?
hvd.hnp4hj	What of Gaston Max, foremost criminologist in Europe, who now lay dead and mutilated in an East- End mortuary?
hvd.hnp4hj	What or whom is'The Scorpion'?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What other servants had he with him?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What possible motive could there be in assassinat- ing these people?
hvd.hnp4hj	What was his message?"
hvd.hnp4hj	What's the World Coming To?
hvd.hnp4hj	What's the matter with Halesowen of Upper Wimpole Street?
hvd.hnp4hj	Who is it that collects such things and for what purpose does he collect them?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Who is it that wishes to speak to him?
hvd.hnp4hj	Why did I lure men into the clutches of Fo- Hi?
hvd.hnp4hj	Why did you not answer?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why do I speak of a"case"when thus far nothing of apparent importance had occurred?
hvd.hnp4hj	Why do we wait?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why do you tremble?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why should I be in danger?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why should anyone have asked me to lock up a blank piece of cardboard?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why should you doubt my honesty? ” She suddenly raised her glance to Stuart's face and he saw that she had grown pale.
hvd.hnp4hj	Why should you remain with that cowled monster?"
hvd.hnp4hj	Why would Paris do so?
hvd.hnp4hj	Why?
hvd.hnp4hj	Will you smoke one of my cigarettes?
hvd.hnp4hj	Wot a rough'ouset Remember when I come in- full up I was: me back teeth well under water- an'you tried to Shanghai me?"
hvd.hnp4hj	You agree with me?"
hvd.hnp4hj	You are wondering, no doubt, how I obtained the frame in so short a time?
hvd.hnp4hj	You called me up here at the Yard a few moments ago, did you not?
hvd.hnp4hj	You did n't by any chance note the number of his cab?"
hvd.hnp4hj	You know this district?"
hvd.hnp4hj	You perceive my plan?
hvd.hnp4hj	You see?
hvd.hnp4hj	You think that Ericksen had com- pleted his experiments before he died, but that he never lived to give them to the world?"

hvd.hn5qfi	You're not in the coal line, I sup- pose?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Any books?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Are you coming?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Aunt Joanna did give you some money, then?' hvd.hn5qfi 'By the way, do you remember Crampy?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Ca n't you name your price?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Can I see Uncle John?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Did he tell you her father was ill and starving, and that she was half crazy with starvation and trouble herself?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Did you make him name his price? hvd.hn5qfi 'Did you see anything of Ursula before she left?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do n't you know?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do n't you under- stand yet that you are my wife?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do they know the denouement too?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you expect my mother to drive four miles through the wind and rain to- day? hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you hear things when you're fast asleep?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you know what the rooms were to be a week?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you really want to come?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you remember Clara's wedding- day?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you think I want to be beggared?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you want to earn half a sovereign for your- self?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Do you want to see us?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Does dad worry much?' hvd.hn5qfi 'For the necklace? hvd.hn5qfi 'For yourself?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Has he got that?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Have they any plans for the future? hvd.hn5qfi 'Have you answered that invitation from the Monktons?' hvd.hn5qfi 'He knows those odd people the Portinscales,'said Grace;'I suppose you met him there?' hvd.hn5qfi 'He's not a friend of yours?' hvd.hn5qfi 'Heads or tails?' hvd.hn5qfi 'How can there be any doubt in your mind? hvd.hn5qfi 'How do you do, Aunt Joanna? hvd.hn5qfi 'How is Thomas?
hvd.hn5qfi	'How is Thomas?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'How is your father to- day?"
hvd.hn5qfi	'I forgive you for taking the beryls; who am I to judge you?
hvd.hn5qfi	'I only want a pint,'said Ursula; ‘ I want it for someone who is ill. Can you pay for what you've had since Christ- mas?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'I suppose you had a'tec about?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'I suppose you have promised them an allow- ance?
hvd.hn5qfi	'I suppose you have some luggage?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'I suppose you might give it up if you married?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'I wish we could die too; why do n't we?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'I wonder if those boots of mine would hold together for another week?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'I wonder what two furnished attics cost in a square like this?
hvd.hn5qfi	'If I do go out, may I come and see you first?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'If we are all going to weep, how are we to see that gold- embroidered chiffon properly?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is Ursula a thief?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is he in bed?"
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is it your acting that stands between us?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is it?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is my father “ undeserving ”?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is n't it letters?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is n't she wonderful?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is the gentleman better, miss?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is there anyone else?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is there anyone you fear?"
hvd.hn5qfi	'Is your father in bed?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Letters?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Look here,'interrupted Thomas,'what date is it?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Not stop you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Oh, do you count on respect?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Rather,'said Thomas;'do n't you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'See that cab with a trunk at the end of the street?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Shall I do?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Stay and talk,'said she;'you do n't want to smoke, do you?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Stole?"
hvd.hn5qfi	'Suppose you call in on your way home this afternoon?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'The question is, What can we do?'.
hvd.hn5qfi	'Then what's'e want to say she's coming back dereckly for?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Then, if you think so, why does Ursula admit him?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Then, why did n't you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Thomas, am I exceedingly beautiful, or as ugly as sin?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Thomas,'she said,'would you mind answering a question truthfully and from a business- like point of view?
hvd.hn5qfi	'To- night?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'We must ask him, then; it will distress him, but what can we do?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Well, which will you have?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Well,'said her host, ‘ has Anderson engaged you to play Juliet?
hvd.hn5qfi	'What is a hundred pounds?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'What sort of game have you in your hands?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'What's that Mrs. Rudgeley about?
hvd.hn5qfi	'When can we meet again?
hvd.hn5qfi	'When was that?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Where are you and Thomas going to spend your summer vacation?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Where are you going?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Who does the work?"
hvd.hn5qfi	'Who does?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Who was the young lady?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Will he be long?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Will the Yeomanry fight?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'Would a letter to Johannesburg find you?
hvd.hn5qfi	'Would the thief be liable to prosecution after this lapse of time?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'You are not acting now, are you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'You both know, then?'
hvd.hn5qfi	'You do n't mean Mrs. Hardwick of Boyes Court?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* An offer?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* But how did he come to be at the Dog and Fox?
hvd.hn5qfi	* But why not?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* Ca n't you put it on in the second act, before your husband finds you out?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* Did you notice her boot and her glove?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* Then what does it say about you?
hvd.hn5qfi	* What did you say?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* When was the last time?!
hvd.hn5qfi	* You mean Lady Jocelyn, do n't you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	* You spoke of empty rooms; do you mean un- furnished?
hvd.hn5qfi	... Was Jocelyn in the theatre last night?'
hvd.hn5qfi	.... ‘ But why must I wait a whole week?'
hvd.hn5qfi	...?
hvd.hn5qfi	108 THE BERYL STONES John,'she said,'what have you promised to do for Thomas and Ursula?
hvd.hn5qfi	140 THE BERYL STONES You would n't associate with them, so why read about them?
hvd.hn5qfi	174 THE BERYL STONES What would she have earned as nursery governess?'
hvd.hn5qfi	192 THE BERYL STONES N'There is no one you love?'
hvd.hn5qfi	288 THE BERYL STONES* Are you in his debt?
hvd.hn5qfi	; What should she call you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	And did Ursula see that necklace?
hvd.hn5qfi	And should you want the rooms for long?
hvd.hn5qfi	And why have I never seen you since, or even heard of you at Boyes Court?
hvd.hn5qfi	Anyhow, what's the good of living on a common, where you only see cottagers and geese?
hvd.hn5qfi	Are these your woods?"
hvd.hn5qfi	Are you going to send me away?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Are you mad?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Are you never going to forgive me?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Are you really going on the stage?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Are you so fond of the country?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Between the two men what would happen, and how could she keep grief and shame from Harry?
hvd.hn5qfi	But I did n't know they wanted help as badly as all that — did you, Clara?
hvd.hn5qfi	But what do poor people do?'
hvd.hn5qfi	By the way,'said Mr. Lowe suddenly, ‘ did you ever find that necklace?'
hvd.hn5qfi	CHAPTER XVIII'I want to see you again,'said Jocelyn a little later, as he bid Ursula good- bye;'when can I see you again?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Ca n't you arrange it, Joanna?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Ca n't you do without it?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Ca n't you give us some whisky- and- soda, Ursula?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Ca n't you go and lie down now?
hvd.hn5qfi	Ca n't you say Yes or No to me, Ursula?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Can we send anything from Linham- ice, or Brand's essence, or brandy, for instance?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Can you and your sister be at Paddington by 10.45?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Can you lend me a little money?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Could he see me if I called?
hvd.hn5qfi	Could n't you have seen it coming and prevented it?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Did he tell you what I paid him?
hvd.hn5qfi	Did n't you wonder why no letters came?
hvd.hn5qfi	Did you ever love him?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Did you leave my message for Ursula?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Did you not, my dear?
hvd.hn5qfi	Do n't you remember?
hvd.hn5qfi	Do n't you want a little help sometimes, miss?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Do they mean to stay on at the cottage in idleness?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Do you care for me as I care for you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Do you like it?
hvd.hn5qfi	Do you love me as I love you?
hvd.hn5qfi	Do you refuse me because you can not love me?
hvd.hn5qfi	Do you take me for a fool?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Does all the common we have just walked across belong to you too?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Ever acted in a barn?
hvd.hn5qfi	Ever met him?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Going out?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Had you any doubt?
hvd.hn5qfi	Has my brother suddenly recovered, and have they all gone out?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Has n't it turned up yet?
hvd.hn5qfi	Have I done anything to vex you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Have I ever been in such need?
hvd.hn5qfi	Have they ever come to you all this time, Sydney?
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you an engagement yet, may I ask?
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you any money in hand, Ursula?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you been troubling about me?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you ever looked at yourself in a long glass?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you filled up to- morrow?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you lost your heart to someone else?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you no relations?'.
hvd.hn5qfi	Have you seen much fighting, Harry?
hvd.hn5qfi	He asked this of her; why should she refuse?
hvd.hn5qfi	Her heart ached at leaving the boy; and what would he soon think of her?
hvd.hn5qfi	How could Crampton Lowe's movements interest or concern him?
hvd.hn5qfi	How did you manage to bring a tray through the crowd?'
hvd.hn5qfi	How do you do, Grace?'
hvd.hn5qfi	How have you put yourself in this man's power?
hvd.hn5qfi	How is a man to know when a woman means what she says?
hvd.hn5qfi	How is it you allow that man Lowe to visit you here and at the theatre?'
hvd.hn5qfi	How long has he been a friend of yours?'
hvd.hn5qfi	How much do you want?
hvd.hn5qfi	How would you like to exchange instead of to sell?
hvd.hn5qfi	I suppose they have a price?'
hvd.hn5qfi	I suppose we can put him up?
hvd.hn5qfi	I suppose you did n't go to them?
hvd.hn5qfi	If Miss French wants her necklace back, why does n't she come for it her- self?'
hvd.hn5qfi	If he consents, would you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	If my uncle has two thousand pounds, as you say, why need we take any notice of this meddling letter?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Is Thomas here to- night?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Is it money?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Is n't it very difficult to remember so many words?
hvd.hn5qfi	Is n't that a pretty dish to set before the king?
hvd.hn5qfi	Is she going to London with you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Is that intact?
hvd.hn5qfi	Is there anything we can send you from Linham?
hvd.hn5qfi	It does n't make much difference; we are not going to let it come into the courts, are we?
hvd.hn5qfi	It's an old story on his side; but what is Crampy nowadays?
hvd.hn5qfi	Know anything about this sort of stone, sir?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Larks were 116 THE BERYL STONES did the gentleman come to know all about it, then?
hvd.hn5qfi	Lowe?'
hvd.hn5qfi	May I come and see you and your brother?'
hvd.hn5qfi	May I inquire if you have gloves and shoes?'
hvd.hn5qfi	May I offer him as much as five hundred, Jocelyn?
hvd.hn5qfi	My wife has gone on with Sir Henry Jocelyn,'he said; you know him, do n't you?
hvd.hn5qfi	Now, what's the best you can do for fifty pounds?
hvd.hn5qfi	Oh, how do you do, Lady Jocelyn?
hvd.hn5qfi	Oh, where is she?
hvd.hn5qfi	Oh, women like glory, do n't they?
hvd.hn5qfi	Perhaps you would like to come upstairs and look at him?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Shall you leave the stage?
hvd.hn5qfi	She contemplated the rings blazing on her shapely white hand, and said: What nonsense were you talking about Ursula last night?
hvd.hn5qfi	She went home to Thomas, and said she would 136 THE BERYL STONES rather be Réjane than a duchess; did he understand her?
hvd.hn5qfi	Smiles, Thomas?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Some infamy, surely?
hvd.hn5qfi	Sorrow she must bring him, but could she save him shame?
hvd.hn5qfi	Such a THE BERYL STONES 277 What does that matter... to us?'

hvd.hn5qfi	THE BERYL STONES IOI'But did you find out if they had all they wanted?'
hvd.hn5qfi	Ten yards at two- three is how much?
hvd.hn5qfi	The question is, Have you a quick study?
hvd.hn5qfi	The thought of Thomas supported her, and with an immense effort she blurted out her request: Can you help us, Aunt Joanna?'
hvd.hn5qfi	There's your regular cab on the look- out for you, Miss French Shall we have a bob's worth?
hvd.hn5qfi	Was he on the verge of proposing marriage to her, and could she accept him?
hvd.hn5qfi	Was that the author's idea?
hvd.hn5qfi	Was this the modern ‘ smart'equivalent, Ursula wondered, for the love- making she knew best?
hvd.hn5qfi	We have been introduced, have n't we?
hvd.hn5qfi	Well, what do you say to my offer?
hvd.hn5qfi	What about the furniture?

hvd.hn5qfi	What do you propose to do, mother?
hvd.hn5qfi	What do you think he had the impudence to say about you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	What do you think they will do when they get there?-just loaf about on your money, and get into debt, and probably into disgrace.'
hvd.hn5qfi	What do you want for it?'
hvd.hn5qfi	What does he advise?'
hvd.hn5qfi	What does it mean?'
hvd.hn5qfi	What else can it be?'

hvd.hn5qfi	“ What then?
hvd.hn5qfi	“ What will Jocelyn say when he sees you?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ What will you sell it for?
hvd.hn5qfi	“ When does your present agreement expire?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Where are you going?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Where does she get it from?
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Where is their servant?
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Where is your cook?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Who is Imogen?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Why did you do it?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Why is Mrs. Portinscale in blue to- night?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Will you come and stay with my mother and me — you and, of course, your brother too??
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Will you come and stay with my mother and me — you and, of course, your brother too??
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Will you come?'
hvd.hn5qfi	“ Will you come?'
hvd.hn5qfi	• Did n't he travel up with the old woman this morn- ing?
hvd.hn5qfi	• What to do?'
hvd.hn1u82	'But what went ye out for to see?'
hvd.hn1u82	A good one?
hvd.hn1u82	A late attack of conscience, eh?
hvd.hn1u82	All ready, M'Tosh?
hvd.hn1u82	Alone?
hvd.hn1u82	Am I? hvd.hn1u82 And Mr. Ormsby has some tor sell?
hvd.hn1u82	And has thereby freed you from all obligations of loyalty? hvd.hn1u82 And he has n't reported?"
hvd.hn1u82	And he talked so long and so fast that you could n't get here in time for dinner this evening? hvd.hn1u82 And if I am?"
hvd.hn1u82	And if it should have?
hvd.hn1u82	And if not?
hvd.hn1u82	And in that case the price of the stock will go up again?
hvd.hn1u82	And since you have referred to the Gaston days: let me ask if I ever gave you any reason to believe that I could be scared out?
hvd.hn1u82	And the moral?
hvd.hn1u82	And the people of the State are enthusiastic about it, thinking that now the long tyranny of the oil mo- nopoly will be broken?
hvd.hn1u82	And the price?
hvd.hn1u82	And the real reason?
hvd.hn1u82	And the train — the last train the other man can come on; is that in yet?
hvd.hn1u82	And there never has been?
hvd.hn1u82	And we are not sentimentalists?
hvd.hn1u82	And what are the prospects?
hvd.hn1u82	And what is your trouble, Durgan?
hvd.hn1u82	And when you have the weapon in your hands; when you have found the sword and sharpened it?
hvd.hn1u82	And you could n't?
hvd.hn1u82	And you have not found the answer?
hvd.hn1u82	And you say you were on the engine? hvd.hn1u82 And you will do it by threatening to expose them?"
hvd.hn1u82	And — let me see — isn't Mr. Kent at some little town we pass through?
hvd.hn1u82	Annything new at the shops, Dutchy?
hvd.hn1u82	Are he and his party likely to win?
hvd.hn1u82	Are you any nearer to it than you were when you began?
hvd.hn1u82	Are you really going on with us? hvd.hn1u82 At chambers?"
hvd.hn1u82	At my door? hvd.hn1u82 Ay tank maybe so, ain'd it?
hvd.hn1u82	Barring accidents, there is no reason why we should n't begin to figure definitely upon the result, is there?
hvd.hn1u82	Because he is giving you another chance? hvd.hn1u82 Busted?"
hvd.hn1u82	But about the Belmount mix- up: you will give us a stickful now and then as we go along, if you unearth anything that the public would like to read?
hvd.hn1u82	But after it went to the House committee on judi- ciary you left it to more skilful, or perhaps we'd better say, to less scrupulous hands?
hvd.hn1u82	But how are we coming on in the political field?
hvd.hn1u82	But how will you go about it? hvd.hn1u82 But if I do n't want you to go back?"
hvd.hn1u82	But if I should say that you are misinterpreting the motive?
hvd.hn1u82	But it did n't quite?
hvd.hn1u82	But you did n't do it?
hvd.hn1u82	By the way, what did you tell Mrs. Brentwood to do?
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't I?
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't we down them some other way? hvd.hn1u82 Ca n't you do it now?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't you fix that?
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't you see that you are daily making a marriage between us more and more impossible?
hvd.hn1u82	Can any man say that truthfully?
hvd.hn1u82	Can you give it a name?
hvd.hn1u82	Can you make it by two o'clock?
hvd.hn1u82	Conscience,he repeated half absently;"is there any room for such an out- of- date thing in a nation of successfulists?
hvd.hn1u82	Could you explain it so that I could understand it?
hvd.hn1u82	David Kent, are there any circumstances in which you would accept a bribe?
hvd.hn1u82	David, what would you do without me?
hvd.hn1u82	Did he give it?
hvd.hn1u82	Did he happen to know the name of the stock?
hvd.hn1u82	Did they?
hvd.hn1u82	Did you know Mr. Kent was going to board the train here?
hvd.hn1u82	Did you mean to reproach me?
hvd.hn1u82	Did you say that? hvd.hn1u82 Did you send for me so that you might abuse me in the second edition?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't they?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you know any of them?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you see he is only sparring to gain time?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you see you're on the wrong division?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you think it had better be?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you think you deserve a manhandling?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you want to go and smoke?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you? hvd.hn1u82 Do our agents on the Western Division handle West- ern Union business?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do we have to dis- prove these charges by affidavits?
hvd.hn1u82	Do we make it, Jarl?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you begin to suspect things?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you know who Mr. Falkland is?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you mean the gentleman Penelope has waylaid? hvd.hn1u82 Do you mean to say you would buy the governor of a state?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you mean to tell me that there is no engage- ment between you and Miss Brentwood?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you think the gale of my three thousand shares would make any difference?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you want me to go?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you'continue'again?
hvd.hn1u82	Do you? hvd.hn1u82 Do you? — oftener than you go to Miss Brentwood?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you? — oftener than you go to Miss Brentwood?
hvd.hn1u82	Do? hvd.hn1u82 Does Miss Brentwood know?"
hvd.hn1u82	Does anybody know what time the train passes Gaston?
hvd.hn1u82	Does he stay?
hvd.hn1u82	Does his Excellency imagine for a moment that any one would be deceived by such a primitive bit of dust- throw- ing?
hvd.hn1u82	Does it hurt to be truly good?
hvd.hn1u82	Drunk?
hvd.hn1u82	For you? hvd.hn1u82 Haf you not de Arkoos been reading?
hvd.hn1u82	Has annybody been to see'em?
hvd.hn1u82	Has that letter been mailed? hvd.hn1u82 Have I ever done anything to make you think I had thrown common honesty and self- respect overboard?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have n't I just been showing you that I am not?
hvd.hn1u82	Have n't we? hvd.hn1u82 Have n't you discovered it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have we got to stand by and see'em do it?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you a Western Union wire here?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you a Western Union wire to the capital di- rect?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you any idea what is in the wind?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you any idea when he intends leaving town?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you any objection?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you nothing better to offer?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you seen him?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you set your heart upon this thing, mother? — but I know you have. hvd.hn1u82 Here?
hvd.hn1u82	How about this affidavit business, and the Falk- land stop- over?
hvd.hn1u82	How are you fixed here?
hvd.hn1u82	How do you know it?
hvd.hn1u82	How do you know? hvd.hn1u82 How do you sup- pose they get started?"
hvd.hn1u82	How long have I got?
hvd.hn1u82	How many did he demand passes for, this time? hvd.hn1u82 How much longer have we to wait?"
hvd.hn1u82	How much time have we?
hvd.hn1u82	How near can they come to smashing us, M'Tosh?
hvd.hn1u82	How should I know? hvd.hn1u82 How should I know?"
hvd.hn1u82	How was I to know that you were going away?
hvd.hn1u82	How was I to know you did n't know?
hvd.hn1u82	I do n't understand that you are raising the question of ethics at this stage of the game, do I?
hvd.hn1u82	I see you have Mrs. Brentwood and her daughters here: can you tell me where I can find Mr. Brookes Ormsby?
hvd.hn1u82	I suppose it is n't possible to avoid making political enemies; but is it needful to turn them into personal enemies?
hvd.hn1u82	I wonder if we shall see him?
hvd.hn1u82	I've found one,"Intuitively?
hvd.hn1u82	If I should pretend to be deeply offended and tell Thomas to show you the door, what could you say for yourself?
hvd.hn1u82	If I should say that I do n't fully understand what you mean?
hvd.hn1u82	If things are as bad as that, it's time you were moving on, do n't you think?
hvd.hn1u82	In what particular part of it?
hvd.hn1u82	Is Mr. Callafield going with you?
hvd.hn1u82	Is he here yet; or did he go back to God's country?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it a man's weakness to fight better in the dark?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it about Miss Brentwood?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it all right, M'Tosh? hvd.hn1u82 Is it any worse to take a bribe than it is to give one?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it because it is inexpedient — because there is more'success'the other way?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it gone beyond recall? hvd.hn1u82 Is it to Gaston I'm goin', Misther M'Tosh?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is it to be a Quaker meeting?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it? hvd.hn1u82 Is it?
hvd.hn1u82	Is n't it begin- ning to occur to you that beggars should n't be choosers? hvd.hn1u82 Is n't it?
hvd.hn1u82	Is n't that a good bit like saying that the shallop must see to it that the wind doei't blow too hard for it?
hvd.hn1u82	Is n't there some way you can get me up to the hotel before that crowd reaches?
hvd.hn1u82	Is n't your debt to Penelope, rather than to me?
hvd.hn1u82	Is she — are they coming this way?
hvd.hn1u82	Is that all it means to you? hvd.hn1u82 Is that all?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is that all?
hvd.hn1u82	Is that all?
hvd.hn1u82	Is that saying very much — or very little?
hvd.hn1u82	Is that you, Durgan?
hvd.hn1u82	It depends a good bit upon how the possession is gained — and held — doesn't it?
hvd.hn1u82	It does, does n't it? hvd.hn1u82 It has no connection with the Trans- Western rail- road offices?"
hvd.hn1u82	It involves some kind of legal procedure?
hvd.hn1u82	It lies beautif ully, does n't it?
hvd.hn1u82	It looks pretty much that way, does n't it? hvd.hn1u82 It's a skilful bit of engineering, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Judge Marston, do you know that last assertion to be true?
hvd.hn1u82	Kent, did you fuf- figure all that out by yourself?
hvd.hn1u82	Kent, what is it you want? hvd.hn1u82 Like wasting a whole summer exploring Mount Croydon with a — a somebody who did not mature late?"
hvd.hn1u82	Meaning that you would like to know if the fight will go on if I should chance to meet another drunken cow- boy with a better aim? hvd.hn1u82 Meaning that your ancestors would have burned me for a witch?
hvd.hn1u82	Meaning what did I do? hvd.hn1u82 Miss Van Brock, what is it you want me to say?
hvd.hn1u82	No news of MacFarlane?
hvd.hn1u82	No?
hvd.hn1u82	Now fwhat the divvle will that be?
hvd.hn1u82	Oh, I do n't know: Judge MacFarlane, perhaps, coming back to give you a chance to poison him at short range?
hvd.hn1u82	Owing him a good turn?
hvd.hn1u82	Pardon me,he began,"but did n't the gentleman who was just here forget to sign his message?"
hvd.hn1u82	Possibly it would be better to tell the truth — had you thought of that?
hvd.hn1u82	Pwhat are they doing now?
hvd.hn1u82	Really? hvd.hn1u82 Run ahead an'take a siding, is ut?"
hvd.hn1u82	Say, Kent; you have grown a lot in these last few weeks: what is your diet?
hvd.hn1u82	Sha'n't I have the Presence in the buffet make you a cup of tea? hvd.hn1u82 Shall I tell you why you do n't want me to go?
hvd.hn1u82	Shall we go into the house?
hvd.hn1u82	So he has been making you his confidante in that, too, has he?
hvd.hn1u82	Still up in the air, are you, in the railroad grab* case?
hvd.hn1u82	Supposing the corporations do n't see the handwriting on the wall — won't see it, you say? hvd.hn1u82 That answers your question, does n't it?"
hvd.hn1u82	That was warning in itself, was n't it?
hvd.hn1u82	That wild Irishman? hvd.hn1u82 The sentimental young woman went out some time ago, did n't she?
hvd.hn1u82	Then Mr. Kent's danger is more real than he ad- mitted?
hvd.hn1u82	Then it's to be war to the knife, is it?
hvd.hn1u82	Then the railroads and the corporations are not pri- marily to blame?
hvd.hn1u82	Then they have n't quit,drawled Griggs; adding:"I wonder if they have a ghost of a show against the politicals?"
hvd.hn1u82	Then you are still hoping to get the railroad out of Major Guilford's hands?
hvd.hn1u82	Then you would counsel de- lay?
hvd.hn1u82	There is no such fight in prospect, is there?
hvd.hn1u82	There is nothing embarrassing about the choosing of a route, is there?
hvd.hn1u82	Think so?
hvd.hn1u82	This vacation of yours, Judge MacFarlane: how 148 THE GRAFTEKS long is it likely to last?
hvd.hn1u82	To Abigail and the trunk- room?
hvd.hn1u82	To down the ring, you mean?
hvd.hn1u82	To purify them?
hvd.hn1u82	To you?
hvd.hn1u82	Was that all?
hvd.hn1u82	We are on our own railroad now, are n't we?
hvd.hn1u82	Well, for one: do you know that your people are on the verge of the much- talked- of strike?
hvd.hn1u82	Well, give me your candid opinion, you two: what is the property worth?
hvd.hn1u82	Well, what are you going to do?
hvd.hn1u82	Well, what is the matter, then?
hvd.hn1u82	Well, why do n't you send him a wire? hvd.hn1u82 Well?
hvd.hn1u82	Well?
hvd.hn1u82	Well?
hvd.hn1u82	Well?
hvd.hn1u82	Well?
hvd.hn1u82	Well?
hvd.hn1u82	What are some of the large things?
hvd.hn1u82	What did I do at Miss Van Brock's to make you cut me dead?
hvd.hn1u82	What do I think of him? hvd.hn1u82 What do we do?"
hvd.hn1u82	What does a man — a real man — care for that?
hvd.hn1u82	What does he say?
hvd.hn1u82	What for?
hvd.hn1u82	What good will that do?
hvd.hn1u82	What have you done since our last discussion of the subject?
hvd.hn1u82	What is at the bottom of it? hvd.hn1u82 What is it you do n't understand — the motive?"
hvd.hn1u82	What is it?
hvd.hn1u82	What is it?
hvd.hn1u82	What is your bid?
hvd.hn1u82	What luck?
hvd.hn1u82	What made you break it off with Brookes Ormsby?
hvd.hn1u82	What makes you think he did n't want to come?
hvd.hn1u82	What name did you say? hvd.hn1u82 What was that?"
hvd.hn1u82	What would Misfe Brentwood say?
hvd.hn1u82	What's been done?
hvd.hn1u82	What's this Hawk's telling me about you, MacFar- lane?
hvd.hn1u82	When does it take hold?
hvd.hn1u82	When is this thing to be done?
hvd.hn1u82	Where has he gone?
hvd.hn1u82	Where is Judge MacFarlane stopping?
hvd.hn1u82	Where is it?
hvd.hn1u82	Which one of them was it told you it was broken off?
hvd.hn1u82	Which one was it?
hvd.hn1u82	Which — the six lots, the boom, or the celerity of your movements?
hvd.hn1u82	Who does n't?
hvd.hn1u82	Who is our engineer?
hvd.hn1u82	Who is the man?
hvd.hn1u82	Who were the four?
hvd.hn1u82	Why do n't you get out of it, then?
hvd.hn1u82	Why do n't you let them bribe you?
hvd.hn1u82	Why not?
hvd.hn1u82	Why should I?
hvd.hn1u82	Why should I?
hvd.hn1u82	Why — I do n't know; did he?
hvd.hn1u82	Why?
hvd.hn1u82	Why?
hvd.hn1u82	Why?
hvd.hn1u82	Will he listen to reason and give us a sure- enough railroad man or two at the top?
hvd.hn1u82	Will he stand by us? hvd.hn1u82 Will yez go back to the car, or ride wit'me?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will you advise me?
hvd.hn1u82	Will you arrange it, and take care of Mr. Kent until I come for him?
hvd.hn1u82	Will you come to see me?
hvd.hn1u82	Will you go now? hvd.hn1u82 With us?"
hvd.hn1u82	Wo n't he?
hvd.hn1u82	Would you? hvd.hn1u82 Yet you will give him a chance to make a partizan of me?
hvd.hn1u82	You are going to print it?
hvd.hn1u82	You are in duty bound to try to make this one un- derstand, do n't you think? hvd.hn1u82 You are quite comfortable?"
hvd.hn1u82	You do love to grind me on that side, do n't you?
hvd.hn1u82	You do n't mean that he is going to bribe these men?
hvd.hn1u82	You followed him?
hvd.hn1u82	You found him?
hvd.hn1u82	You have been afraid every day lest I should begin a second time to press you for an answer, have n't you?
hvd.hn1u82	You have n't told us all of it: what has happened?
hvd.hn1u82	You know how MacFarlane secured his reelection?
hvd.hn1u82	You mean that I am not strong enough? hvd.hn1u82 You mean to set about'obliterating'Judge MacFar- lane forthwith?"
hvd.hn1u82	You mean you are going to take our railroad away from these men who have stolen it?
hvd.hn1u82	You want to make me say some melodramatic thing about having the shackles forged and snapping them upon the gubernatorial wrists, do n't you? hvd.hn1u82 You will have your pound of flesh entire, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1u82	You'll overlook it in me if I've pressed the thing too hard on the side of sentiment, wo n't you? hvd.hn1u82 You've made me travel two thousand miles to see this thing through: why did n't you make sure of having your man here?"
hvd.hn1u82	''Have you any notion of what it is?"
hvd.hn1u82	'TTou know I told you I was going to Gaston to sell my six lots while Major Guilford's little boom is on?"
hvd.hn1u82	'You say the judge refuses to confer with me?"
hvd.hn1u82	( 274) A BORROWED CONSCIENCE 275"What is the matter with us this evening?"
hvd.hn1u82	10 THE GRAFTEES"By coming, you mean?
hvd.hn1u82	104 THE GRAFTERS"To you?"
hvd.hn1u82	114 THE GRAFTERS"You had your clerk at the station to meet it?"
hvd.hn1u82	124 THE GRAFTERS"What was it?"
hvd.hn1u82	20 THE GRAFTERS"Who is he?"
hvd.hn1u82	26 THE GRAFTERS"It is time we were going/'he said; adding:"I guess you have had enough of it, have n't you?"
hvd.hn1u82	286 THE GRAFTERS"What d'ye calc'late the major will do about it?"
hvd.hn1u82	82 THE GRAFTEES"Is it wise, David?"
hvd.hn1u82	Again the brown eyes grew luminous; and again she said:"What would you do without me?
hvd.hn1u82	Also, if the same silent monitor bade him stop short of the governor's office: at the door, namely, of the public anteroom, which stood ajar?
hvd.hn1u82	Am I responsible for — for the present state of affairs?"
hvd.hn1u82	And after another thoughtful interval:"How did you come to think of it?"
hvd.hn1u82	And then, taking her hand:"Are we safely ashore on the new continent, Elinor?
hvd.hn1u82	And then:"Are you willing to stand with us, Patsy?
hvd.hn1u82	And then:"Where are you now?"
hvd.hn1u82	And then:"Would you like to have your quo warranto blind alley turned into a thoroughfare?"
hvd.hn1u82	And when they have sold all they have to sell?"
hvd.hn1u82	And while I think of it, my office will be in the Quintard Building; and you — I suppose you will put up at the Wellington?"
hvd.hn1u82	And yet we prided ourselves on our sincerity in that young time, do n't you think?"
hvd.hn1u82	Any news from him?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are DEAD WATER AND QUICK 319 the details possible?
hvd.hn1u82	Are there any such men nowadays?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you big enough to do it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you big enough, David?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you folks doing any- thing?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you fully convinced of Judge MacFarlane's venality?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you great enough to run fast and far when it is a straight- away race depending only upon mere man- strength and indomitable determination?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you really quite the same?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you satis- fied?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you speaking politically?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you still finding it impossible to set the limit?"
hvd.hn1u82	Are you sure he gave it up?"
hvd.hn1u82	But after, David; what will you do afterward?"
hvd.hn1u82	But did Bicknell fully understand what it might mean in loss of life and property to put a new man on the wires at a moment's notice?
hvd.hn1u82	But first tell me one thing: as matters stand, could Guilford dispose of the road — sell it or lease it?"
hvd.hn1u82	But have I succeeded in remind- ing you of that thing you were going to tell me?"
hvd.hn1u82	But how bad is the smash?
hvd.hn1u82	But how much is your railroad worth?"
hvd.hn1u82	But latterly —""Latterly you have begun to think larger things?"
hvd.hn1u82	But let that go: you are will- ing to help us?"
hvd.hn1u82	But supposin'they do n't do it?"
hvd.hn1u82	But the bribe: did you learn anything about that?"
hvd.hn1u82	But which'inside'do you mean — the railroad or the political?"
hvd.hn1u82	But why foolish?"
hvd.hn1u82	But why is Major Guilford spending so much money for improve- ments?"
hvd.hn1u82	By the way, did you go to tell the household good- by?
hvd.hn1u82	By the way, has the capitol gang any notion of your part in all this upstirring?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't you leave me out of it entirely?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't you let'good enough'alone?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ca n't you understand?
hvd.hn1u82	Can I count on you after the mud- slinging begins?"
hvd.hn1u82	Can you do it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Can you make your time?"
hvd.hn1u82	Can you prove your postulate?"

hvd.hn1u82	Could I do less?"
hvd.hn1u82	Could he be sure of meeting her on the frank, friendly footing of the Croy--don summer?
hvd.hn1u82	Could he make- GO THE GRAFTEES Number Three?
hvd.hn1u82	Could he trust him- self to be decently loyal to Ormsby if he should stay?
hvd.hn1u82	Could you get me to Gaston on a special engine in three hours?"
hvd.hn1u82	Damn?
hvd.hn1u82	Den ve qvits, ain'd it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Did Mr. Kent know the meaning of all this anxiety to buy in Western Pacific when the stock was going down day by day?
hvd.hn1u82	Did you know the Over- land Short Line had passed under Plantagould domi- nation?"
hvd.hn1u82	Did you let my little stagger scare you out?"
hvd.hn1u82	Did you say I might come to dinner to- morrow evening?
hvd.hn1u82	Do I make it plain?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't those fellows intend to stay bought?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you like to be cared for like other women?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you see how nicely the thing is timed?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you see?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you think you'd better go along?
hvd.hn1u82	Do n't you?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do they need the new law in their business as a source of revenue?
hvd.hn1u82	Do we understand each other?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you know what I did this afternoon?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you know what I'd do?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you know what they are going to do next with your railroad?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you mean that we have to send to Boston for our ammunition?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you mean to down the Bucks crowd ded- defmitely?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you still do it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you still think it best to keep me in the dark as to what you are doing?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you suppose I am so besotted as not to realize that you have been the head, while I have been only the hand?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you think he is likely to get into trouble there?"
hvd.hn1u82	Do you understand?"
hvd.hn1u82	Does he count?"
hvd.hn1u82	Does n't it look that way to you?
hvd.hn1u82	Does n't it occur to you that he is in just about as good a fix to secure those affidavits in Gaston as we are here, David?"
hvd.hn1u82	Got that?"
hvd.hn1u82	Got your newspaper string tied up all right?"
hvd.hn1u82	Had there been any others?
hvd.hn1u82	Has it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Has your man weakened?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have n't I'personally conducted'the fam- ily all over Europe?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have they come down yet?"

hvd.hn1u82	Have you anything to suggest?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you been at the night session?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you chosen your route to the western somewhere?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you forgotten the gerrymander business?
hvd.hn1u82	Have you got a man you can trust?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you got him safe?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you learned your lesson, David mine?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you money?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you no soft side at all?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you replied to the major?"
hvd.hn1u82	Have you thought of any way of softening them?"

hvd.hn1u82	How about the Inn?"
hvd.hn1u82	How did the enemy get wind of your plot so quickly?
hvd.hn1u82	How do you arrive at that?"
hvd.hn1u82	How is the fast mail to- night?"
hvd.hn1u82	How much too late am I?"
hvd.hn1u82	How much was that security debt your son- in- law let you in for?"
hvd.hn1u82	How nearly has that plan succeeded?"
hvd.hn1u82	How would you like to see the true inwardness of that in the newspa- pers?"
hvd.hn1u82	Hunnicott?"
hvd.hn1u82	I do n't mind confessing that I played my last card when I released you? rom your engagement.
hvd.hn1u82	I have n't been doing anything I am ashamed of; have you?"
hvd.hn1u82	I suppose you know Elinor is to be married to Brookes Ormsby?"
hvd.hn1u82	I taught you in Gaston that you were not big enough to fight me: do you think you are big enough now?"
hvd.hn1u82	I understand Mrs. Brentwood's holding is not very large?"
hvd.hn1u82	If I do, will you agree to put the sentimental affair resolutely in the background?"
hvd.hn1u82	If Major Guilford is wrecking the railroad, why is he spending so much money on improvements?
hvd.hn1u82	If you had a friend owning stock in one of the involved railways, what would you advise?"
hvd.hn1u82	In other words, does Bucks want a lump sum for a veto?
hvd.hn1u82	In seeking to do the most unselfish thing that offered, had he succeeded only in making her despise him?
hvd.hn1u82	In the smoking- room of the sleeper I found — whom, do you suppose?"
hvd.hn1u82	In town?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is he going east?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is he with you?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is it an absolute standard of right and wrong?
hvd.hn1u82	Is it because the money- DEEP- SEA SOUNDINGS 253"In what way?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is it clear thus far?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is it only that you wish to save Miss Brentwood's little marriage portion?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is it our pricking of the Gaston bubble by building on to the capital?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is n't our prop- erty as good a thing as we of the Boston end have been cracking it up to be?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is there any other honest thing to do, mother?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is there any speakable reason?"
hvd.hn1u82	Is there anything you do n't know?"
hvd.hn1u82	It has n't begun yet, I take it?"
hvd.hn1u82	It is n't purely pro bono publico, I take it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Kent was look- ing steadily away from the table when he said:"What if I say it is n't for sale?"
hvd.hn1u82	Kent?"
hvd.hn1u82	Kent?"
hvd.hn1u82	May I ask you to come to the point?"
hvd.hn1u82	May I come and go as here- tofore?"
hvd.hn1u82	May I go on?"
hvd.hn1u82	May I talk business for a few minutes?"
hvd.hn1u82	Mr. Brookes Ormsby?
hvd.hn1u82	Mrs. Brentwood confined herself to a dry"Why?"
hvd.hn1u82	Must I — may I — say yes to Brookes Ormsby without telling him the whole truth?"
hvd.hn1u82	Must you go now?"
hvd.hn1u82	Natures there be that rise only THE GERRYMANDER 183"I suppose I do: all men do, do n't they?"
hvd.hn1u82	No message that I can take?
hvd.hn1u82	Now what can I do for you?
hvd.hn1u82	Of what use can I be to Mr. David Kent this evening?"
hvd.hn1u82	Oh, it's you, is it, Mr. Kent?
hvd.hn1u82	Open the door behind you, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1u82	Or do they want to be hired to kill it?
hvd.hn1u82	Or is it merely your ideal or mine, or Shafiz Ullah Khan's?"
hvd.hn1u82	Or was it a special train he wanted?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ormsby said"Ah?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ormsby?
hvd.hn1u82	Ormsby?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ormsby?"
hvd.hn1u82	Ormsby?"
hvd.hn1u82	SUBHI SADIK 389"And were they all killed?"
hvd.hn1u82	Shall I call mother and Nell?"
hvd.hn1u82	Shall we go and see how late it is?"
hvd.hn1u82	Shall we go and smoke?"
hvd.hn1u82	Shall we go back to your rooms and sit a while?"
hvd.hn1u82	Silence for another little space, which Mie3 Brent- wood broke by saying:"Do n't you want to smoke?
hvd.hn1u82	Suddenly he asked:"What's your object, Kent?
hvd.hn1u82	Summed up, the inquiries pointed them- selves thus: was there any basis for the Gaston revival other than the lately changed attitude of the railroad?
hvd.hn1u82	Surely you know that?"
hvd.hn1u82	THE BOSTONIANS 35 When are you going to give me the right to come be- tween you and all the little worries, Elinor?"
hvd.hn1u82	THE BOSTONIANS 41"I suppose he came to say good- by: what is he go- ing to do with himself this winter?"
hvd.hn1u82	THE GERRYMANDER 18?
hvd.hn1u82	THE JUNKETERS 197 shooting?"
hvd.hn1u82	THE RELENTLESS WHEELS 375"What's that you say, Mr. Halkett? — on the Western Division?
hvd.hn1u82	THE RELENTLESS WHEELS 375"What's that you say, Mr. Halkett? — on the Western Division?
hvd.hn1u82	THE SENTIMENTALISTS 95"Is that you, Miss Penelope?
hvd.hn1u82	Tell me one thing: are they buying or selling?"
hvd.hn1u82	Tell me; is Bucks going to do that?"
hvd.hn1u82	That would still leave you a fair price for your block of suburban property in Guilford and Hawk's addition to the city of Gaston, would n't it?"
hvd.hn1u82	The mills of the years grind many grists besides the trickling stream of the hours: would he find Miss Brentwood as he had left her?
hvd.hn1u82	Then he said:"I wonder if ten thousand dollars, and expenses, would paralyze them?"
hvd.hn1u82	Then he said:"Say, Kent, has n't it occurred to you that they are rather putting meat on the bones instead of taking it off?
hvd.hn1u82	Then he took the plunge:"May I know when it is to be — or am I to wait for my bidding with the other and more formally invited guests?"
hvd.hn1u82	Then she changed the subject arbitrarily:"Is mother quite comfortable?
hvd.hn1u82	Then the Bucks idea is likely to prove a disturbing element on'Change?"
hvd.hn1u82	Then, half- jestingly:"Kent, what will you take to drop this thing permanently and go away?"
hvd.hn1u82	Then, suddenly:"Have you been paying any attention to the development of the Bel- mount oil field?"
hvd.hn1u82	Then:"Would you mind hurrying your people a little, Major?
hvd.hn1u82	There was awe undisguised in the look he gave her, and it had crept into his voice when he said:"Portia, are you really a flesh- and- blood woman?"
hvd.hn1u82	They had reached the Tejon Avenue apartment house, and to Elinor's"Wo n't you come in?"
hvd.hn1u82	Try one?"
hvd.hn1u82	Was Jasper Bucks behind those lighted windows — alone?
hvd.hn1u82	Was Miss Brentwood nearly ready?
hvd.hn1u82	Was n't some one telling me that you are inter- ested in House Bill Twenty- nine?"
hvd.hn1u82	Was that right?"
hvd.hn1u82	Was there a weapon to be had?
hvd.hn1u82	Was there any good reason?"
hvd.hn1u82	Was there some sub- tile magnetism in this great hulk of a man that made itself felt in spite of its hamperings?
hvd.hn1u82	Were you ever here when the house was occupied?"
hvd.hn1u82	What are you doing?"
hvd.hn1u82	What can I say more than I said a moment ago — that you are the truest friend a man ever had?"
hvd.hn1u82	What did the unim- peachable Rogers see?"
hvd.hn1u82	What do we do?"
hvd.hn1u82	What do you hear from Boston?"
hvd.hn1u82	What do you say, Halkett?"
hvd.hn1u82	What do you think of it?"
hvd.hn1u82	What do you want of him?"
hvd.hn1u82	What do you want to do?"
hvd.hn1u82	What had that chit of a girl done to earn her im- munity from self- defendings and the petty anxieties?
hvd.hn1u82	What has happened?"
hvd.hn1u82	What have you been doing?
hvd.hn1u82	What have you done?
hvd.hn1u82	What is conscience?
hvd.hn1u82	What is it?"
hvd.hn1u82	What is to prevent your trying it?"
hvd.hn1u82	What time shall I send the expediters after your luggage?"
hvd.hn1u82	What was doing in the lower yard?
hvd.hn1u82	What was the result?"
hvd.hn1u82	What will you do if he says it does n't make any difference?"
hvd.hn1u82	What will you do with yourself?"
hvd.hn1u82	What would Mr. Kent advise her to do — write again?
hvd.hn1u82	What's next?"
hvd.hn1u82	What's that you say?
hvd.hn1u82	What's this?"
hvd.hn1u82	When he spoke it was to say:"Why have you done this, Elinor?"
hvd.hn1u82	Where do we come in?"
hvd.hn1u82	Where have you been for the past age or two?"
hvd.hn1u82	Where is he to- night?"
hvd.hn1u82	Whereabouts?"
hvd.hn1u82	Which brings me back to Ormsby: did you say you could tell me where to look for him?"
hvd.hn1u82	Who's taking it west?"
hvd.hn1u82	Why did you allow it to go by default?"
hvd.hn1u82	Why had she put it out of her power to make him her champion in the Field of the Lust of Mastery?
hvd.hn1u82	Why should a New York broker be picking up outlying Western Pa- cific at a fraction more than the market when the stock is sinking every day?
hvd.hn1u82	Why the devil did n't you call your man down?"
hvd.hn1u82	Why, in the name of all the proprieties, should I object?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will he do it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will you give me a few minutes in the library?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will you give me the right to make you as happy as I can on the unemotional basis?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will you go up to the first landing of the stair and point your finger at that window?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will you introduce us?"
hvd.hn1u82	Will you take twenty thousand dollars spot cash, and MacFarlane's job as circuit judge when I'm through with him?
hvd.hn1u82	Will you take what there is of me and make what you can of it?"
hvd.hn1u82	Wo n't you come along?"
hvd.hn1u82	Wo n't you stay over and visit with us?"
hvd.hn1u82	Would Durgan fail at the pinch and mismanage it so as to give the alarm?
hvd.hn1u82	Would Elinor make things easy for him, as she used to daily in the somewhat difficult social atmos- phere of the exclusive summer hotel?
hvd.hn1u82	Would the engineer take the risk of a rear- end collision on a general manager's or- der?
hvd.hn1u82	Year after year we send our repre- sentatives to the legislature, and what comes of it?
hvd.hn1u82	You are still on the company's pay- rolls?"
hvd.hn1u82	You can tell me that, ca n't you?"
hvd.hn1u82	You have been laboring under the impression that we are engaged, have n't you?"
hvd.hn1u82	You know Loring — Grantham Lor- ing?"
hvd.hn1u82	You said this matter of Mr. Ormsby's concerned Miss Brentwood — in a way — did n't you?"
hvd.hn1u82	You was dot Arkoos newsbaper dis evening sehen?
hvd.hn1u82	You will admit, I presume, that your demand was a little peremptory?"
hvd.hn1u82	You will call a con- ference of the'powers/ I take it?"
hvd.hn1u82	You'll be there?"
hvd.hn1u82	You've heard the story of the inventor and his secret, have n't you?"
hvd.hn1u82	You've ten minutes: can you make it?"
hvd.hn1u82	You, too, Kent?"
hvd.hn1u82	^You heard him, Loring?"
hvd.hn1u82	he began, THE SHOCKING OF HUNNICOTT 12?
hvd.hn1u82	must we put it upon the ground of a quid pro quo?
hvd.hn1u82	she said half- absently; and he started forward and said:"I beg pardon?"
hvd.hn1u82	will you leave it for a woman to point out what you should have suspected the moment you read that bit of gossip in Mr. Hunnicott's letter?"
hvd.hn1u82	would yez, now?"
hvd.hn5lwe	And the niece? ” I asked. hvd.hn5lwe Have you any one named Pedro Espada in the hotel? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn5lwe	I will explain one day, Mrs. Cullerton- one day when we are alone. ”When?"
hvd.hn5lwe	I wonder what was in the papers which so affected the lady? ” I remarked. hvd.hn5lwe I'm sorry, sir,"he exclaimed breathlessly, “ but will you wait just a moment?
hvd.hn5lwe	If it is found that Charles Rabel is really Despujol, then I will come forward and state all that I know. ” “ You promise that?
hvd.hn5lwe	In what way? ” “ At present I can not tell. hvd.hn5lwe Is that really so, doctor? ” he asked in surprise, hold- ing his cigar between his fingers.
hvd.hn5lwe	No — where is it?
hvd.hn5lwe	Suspicions of what?
hvd.hn5lwe	Then my information has been of some little use to you- eh?
hvd.hn5lwe	Well, Mr. Garfield? hvd.hn5lwe Well, Mr. Robertson, how can I find out anything more about Miss Thurston?
hvd.hn5lwe	Well, what are we to do now? hvd.hn5lwe Well? ” he said with a sigh.
hvd.hn5lwe	What can we think? hvd.hn5lwe What causes you to suspect?
hvd.hn5lwe	What is the date of to- day? ” “ The eleventh of December,she replied.
hvd.hn5lwe	'”"I wonder why those colours were so impressed upon her memory?"
hvd.hn5lwe	150 THE STRETTON STREET AFFAIR “ Do you recollect ever meeting a French gentleman named Monsieur Suzor? ” I asked her presently.
hvd.hn5lwe	153 154 THE STRETTON STREET AFFAIR"Shall you fly across this time? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	And if she were not dead whose body was it that had been cremated?
hvd.hn5lwe	And myself?
hvd.hn5lwe	And then, excusing himself, he rose and left, followed by the man, Why, I wondered, had I been invited there?
hvd.hn5lwe	And where am I? ” I asked, gazing vacantly around me.
hvd.hn5lwe	And who, after all, was the victim?
hvd.hn5lwe	And why?
hvd.hn5lwe	Are they the same notes which you say I gave you?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Are you acquainted with a girl named Gabrielle Engledue? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	Are you certain she is dead?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Are you mad?
hvd.hn5lwe	Are you quite sure you do not know him?"
hvd.hn5lwe	At least my mother used to tell me so. ” What, I wondered, had taken the head of the Madrid detective force out there?
hvd.hn5lwe	But I have no idea who she is. ”"Is Doctor Moroni a doctor of medicine?"
hvd.hn5lwe	But are not you in London very badly served in that respect?
hvd.hn5lwe	But by whom?
hvd.hn5lwe	But for the matter of that, what could be the motive of the whole puzzling affair- and further, whose was the body that had been cremated?
hvd.hn5lwe	But how could such a state of mind be pro- duced? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	But how did I come to be in St. Malo?
hvd.hn5lwe	But how shall we act? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hn5lwe	But if my suspicions are unfounded, why has not the stranger come forward?
hvd.hn5lwe	But may I speak to you for just one second?"
hvd.hn5lwe	But was it surprising, so extraordinary had been my adventures?
hvd.hn5lwe	But was not the situa- tion a strange one?
hvd.hn5lwe	But what I demand to know is why you asked me in, and what happened to me after you gave me that money? ” “ Money!
hvd.hn5lwe	But what did this friendship with Gabrielle Tennison denote?
hvd.hn5lwe	But what had been the rich man's motive?
hvd.hn5lwe	But what proof had I that the lawyer from Burgos had prepared that bolt?
hvd.hn5lwe	But what was the motive?
hvd.hn5lwe	But why do you ask such a question?
hvd.hn5lwe	But why had he gone there?
hvd.hn5lwe	But why is he here under the name of Thibon?
hvd.hn5lwe	But why should he fear if not implicated in the plot?
hvd.hn5lwe	But why was he in the English gentleman's room?"
hvd.hn5lwe	But you say that your adventure and that of mademoiselle occurred in London? ” I repeated my story.
hvd.hn5lwe	But,"I added, “ I wonder if this information conveyed by the Spanish woman really concerned the fugitive? ” “ I wonder.
hvd.hn5lwe	By whom, if not by him?
hvd.hn5lwe	CHAPTER THE FOURTH FACING THE MUSIC “ Do you seriously mean to say that you have no knowl- edge of me?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Can not you tell me who he is? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	Could not the waiter ascertain the nature of the disclosure? ” “ No.
hvd.hn5lwe	Could the Frenchman's visit to Madrid be in any way connected with the affair at Stretton Street?
hvd.hn5lwe	Could you not dine with me to- morrow night? ”"I am sorry,"I replied.
hvd.hn5lwe	Could you tell me the gentleman's name? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	De Gex is expecting you to call upon him to- day, is he not? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5lwe	De Gex may be attracted by her handsome niece, the Señorita Carmen Florez- eh? ” “ He may.
hvd.hn5lwe	De Gex told me that she came to Florence for a few days —"“ To visit him- eh? ”"I suppose so.
hvd.hn5lwe	De Gex's niece?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Despujol, if he is ever found, will be discovered in hiding somewhere in the mountains of the north. ” “ But why not in Montauban? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	Did not his King invite him to con- ference, in ignorance, of course, of his true character?
hvd.hn5lwe	Did she know that it was torn?
hvd.hn5lwe	Did you receive any sudden shock? ” I explained that being on a visit to a friend-- as I designated Oswald De Gex- his niece died very suddenly.
hvd.hn5lwe	Do n't you agree?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Do you happen to know him?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Do you not agree?"
hvd.hn5lwe	For what reason had Moroni come to London and taken her with him to Florence?
hvd.hn5lwe	Fur- ther, if the mysterious dead girl had been niece of the millionaire surely my friend the caretaker would have known her?
hvd.hn5lwe	Grateful to a man whose dastardly inten- tion is, when the whim takes him, to send you to your grave, Mrs. Cullerton? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	Has she not a beautiful voice?
hvd.hn5lwe	Have you a card? ” I at once produced one from my cigarette- case, and added that I was a personal friend of the millionaire's.
hvd.hn5lwe	Have you ever been there?
hvd.hn5lwe	He apparently wished to send it in secret. ”"I wonder why?"
hvd.hn5lwe	He must be in the room next yours. ” “ Shall we seek him?"
hvd.hn5lwe	He told me that you were my worst enemy — that you intend to kill me! ” “ Doctor Moroni told you that? ” I inquired kindly.
hvd.hn5lwe	He was Despujol's friend, as well as yours — was he not?"
hvd.hn5lwe	He went in the omnibus. ” “ No one with him? ” “ Nobody."
hvd.hn5lwe	Hope to be back by midnight. ” “ Where is Castelsarrasin? ” I inquired of the woman.
hvd.hn5lwe	How did I travel from London?
hvd.hn5lwe	How did you get in?"
hvd.hn5lwe	How had they come there?
hvd.hn5lwe	How would you feel? ” “ I really do n't know,"I whispered.
hvd.hn5lwe	I am no great lover of London- are you, Mr.-Mr. Garfield? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	I gave you money? ” he cried.
hvd.hn5lwe	I inquired for Mr. De Gex, whereupon he replied: WHO WAS GABRIELLE ENGLEDUE?
hvd.hn5lwe	I must apologize, Mr. De Gex, but would you ask your man to order me a taxi?
hvd.hn5lwe	I suppose you know him? ” “ No.
hvd.hn5lwe	I suppose you mean Miss Thurston — the young American lady, do n't you?
hvd.hn5lwe	I want to avoid all this — and you alone can help me! ”"How? ” I inquired, much perturbed by the tragic oc- currence.
hvd.hn5lwe	I warn you! ” Then she added: “ She is a wicked woman. ” “ And her husband, Jack? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hn5lwe	I wonder if he'll be caught? ”"He might go on to Zaragoza and then turn to Bar- celona and Marseilles,"Hambledon remarked.
hvd.hn5lwe	I wonder if you would show me the drawing- room and the library? ” The man hesitated, saying: “ Well, sir, I've no orders to show anyone over.
hvd.hn5lwe	INTRODUCES OSWALD DE GEX 35 not “ Well, how do I know that Miss Engledue has not- well, has not met with foul play? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	If she were, we should surely have seen it in the papers?
hvd.hn5lwe	If so, was it possible that he had seen and recognized me, and wished to escape unseen?
hvd.hn5lwe	If so, why had he entered that dingy house in the Euston Road and made his exit by the back way?
hvd.hn5lwe	Illness?
hvd.hn5lwe	Is she acquainted with him? ” “ Not to my knowledge.
hvd.hn5lwe	Is the car there? ” he asked."
hvd.hn5lwe	It seems a miserable ending to all our careful surveil- lance upon Suzor- doesn't it? ” he grumbled."
hvd.hn5lwe	Let me see, what did I tell you? ”"Your man, Horton, invited me, a mere passer- by, into your house in Stretton Street.
hvd.hn5lwe	Moroni — Moroni?
hvd.hn5lwe	My words seemed to impress the stockbroker's wife, for she asked: “ Well- what shall I do? ” “ Be perfectly frank with me,"I replied promptly.
hvd.hn5lwe	No, enemy- a bitter enemy! ” “ Then you have quarrelled?
hvd.hn5lwe	Now tell me who prepared that cake of soap which you sent to Mr. Garfield? ” The question was quite an unorthodox procedure in English justice.
hvd.hn5lwe	Or was Gabrielle Tennison and Gabrielle Engledue one and the same person?
hvd.hn5lwe	Oswald De Gex? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	Over what have you quarrelled?
hvd.hn5lwe	Pray excuse me, wo n't you? ”"I — I'm awfully sorry!"
hvd.hn5lwe	She lives at Segovia, and their house here in the capital has just been sold. ” “ Was any attempt made upon Mr. De Gex? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	She seems to come over every year. ”"I wonder if you could find out her address?"
hvd.hn5lwe	She was dressed to go out, and asked: “ Will you be long, dear?"
hvd.hn5lwe	She was in the car in the Cascine with Mrs. De Gex. ”"I wonder how I could discover more about her? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	She was once your friend-eh?
hvd.hn5lwe	She was very like — and yet?
hvd.hn5lwe	Suddenly, hoping to further stir the chords of her memory, I asked:"Have you seen Mr. De Gex lately? ” “ Who? ” she inquired blankly.
hvd.hn5lwe	Suddenly, hoping to further stir the chords of her memory, I asked:"Have you seen Mr. De Gex lately? ” “ Who? ” she inquired blankly.
hvd.hn5lwe	Tell me, now, what is it?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Tennison did not know Moroni before this affair?"
hvd.hn5lwe	The doctors found that you were in no pain, but that you could give no intelligible account of yourself. ” “ What did I tell them? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hn5lwe	Then I am still an interesting case, Sister- eh? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5lwe	Then I ventured to ask:"Do you, Professor, know anything of a Doctor Moroni, of Florence?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Then in indig- nation, he exclaimed: “ Who are you?
hvd.hn5lwe	Then it is not a matter for extradition, eh?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Then you hold some secret of his, perhaps? ” AT THE HÔTEL LUXEMBOURG 235 asked Rivero, a new interest being instantly aroused.
hvd.hn5lwe	Then you intend to give up the quest for the truth? ” “ Not by any means,"I replied quickly.
hvd.hn5lwe	There have been cases that have been cured. ” “ Do you know any personally?"
hvd.hn5lwe	They say he bought the whole fleet of steamers from Count Chamartin. ” “ Was Count Chamartin wealthy? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5lwe	They ’ ave a lot of visitors. ”"But you are full up- eh? ” “ Yes — with our reg'lar residents,"she answered promptly.
hvd.hn5lwe	WHO WAS GABRIELLE ENGLEDUE?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was Gabrielle Engledue living- or was she dead?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it by accident or design that they were beside my bed?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it by mere accident that I had been invited in, or was it by careful design?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it only a chimera of my un- balanced imagination or was it actual fact?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it possible that he was unaware of the surveillance I had kept upon him during and after his secret interview with Gabrielle?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it possible, that, by the possession of great riches, a man could commit crime with im- punity?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it really possible that I had been lost for the previous ten days or so?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was it there- fore any wonder that she would not tell me more than absolutely obliged?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was my case that of Jekyll and Hyde?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was my memory, in my rather weak state of health, playing tricks with me?
hvd.hn5lwe	Was she quite all right before November? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.hn5lwe	Was the girl whose secret I sought still there?
hvd.hn5lwe	We have both been victims of a vile and des- perate conspiracy. ” “ And whom do you suspect?"
hvd.hn5lwe	We sha n't be away very long, I suppose? ”"A week at the most,"I said.
hvd.hn5lwe	Well, so you have been doing good business for useh?
hvd.hn5lwe	Well? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	What are you doing here? ”"I am here to see you, Mr. De Gex,"I replied quite calmly.
hvd.hn5lwe	What could be the motive, I wondered?
hvd.hn5lwe	What could it be?
hvd.hn5lwe	What did it all mean?
hvd.hn5lwe	What do you sug- gest, Moroni?
hvd.hn5lwe	What happened to your young mistress during the time she disappeared?
hvd.hn5lwe	What has happened since I went through Stretton Street the other night? ” The Sister smiled at me.
hvd.hn5lwe	What if I, too, went back to Paris and watched his further movements?
hvd.hn5lwe	What money? ” I gasped, utterly astounded by the Sister's remark.
hvd.hn5lwe	What more can I say? ” he exclaimed with affected dismay.
hvd.hn5lwe	What was he doing?
hvd.hn5lwe	What was it that De Gex had shown the doctor beneath the pale light of the moon?
hvd.hn5lwe	What was she hiding from me?
hvd.hn5lwe	What would my newly- found friend think if he returned to find me overcome?
hvd.hn5lwe	What, I wondered, had happened during my month of unconsciousness?
hvd.hn5lwe	When did he leave town? ”"About a month ago, sir, ” the man answered.
hvd.hn5lwe	Where did you see them?
hvd.hn5lwe	Where is she? ” “ In London, I believe."
hvd.hn5lwe	Where was Harry?
hvd.hn5lwe	Where was Mr. De Gex?
hvd.hn5lwe	Where? ” “ In the house of a mutual enemy."
hvd.hn5lwe	Who was she — and what was the motive?
hvd.hn5lwe	Who was the girl whose body, because of my false certificate, had been reduced to ashes in order to destroy all evidence of foul play?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why are you so anxious to see her?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Why ca n't you smoke some other brand?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why did she meet that Frenchman in Kensington Gardens? ”"I have only just heard about it, ” was her mother's reply.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why do you ask such a curious question? ” “ I have reasons for asking it, Mrs. Cullerton,"was my reply.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why do you ask? ” “ Because he has had my friend Miss Tennison under his care.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why do you ask? ” “ I have a distinct reason for asking,"was my reply.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why had I been marked down as a tool to further the millionaire's ends?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why had I, a mere passer- by, been called in so sud- denly to be taken into the intimacy of the millionaire's household?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why had he crossed from Paris to London with me in order to meet clandestinely the poor girl who was the rich man's victim?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why had he done so?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why had he held that secret meeting with the widow of the wealthy Count Chamartin?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why is that? ” The pretty wife of the young London stockbroker hesitated.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why keep me in suspense? ” I urged.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why not?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why should he seek to conceal his identity? ” “ We are here to discover the motive of his journey from Italy.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why should he seek to do this?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Why should the notorious Despujol dare to put his foot into Madrid and lay that deadly plot to kill you?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why should we think so?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why was I invited into your house in Stretton Street to be present as witness at the poor girl's death?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Why was the butler to be sent to Pisa?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why?
hvd.hn5lwe	Why? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	Why?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Why?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Will you consent to help me? ”"In what way?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Will you consent to help me? ”"In what way?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Will you go with him into the next room?"
hvd.hn5lwe	Wo n't you do it for me, and help me out of a very great difficulty?
hvd.hn5lwe	Would he ask the concierge there privately on the telephone?
hvd.hn5lwe	Would he be wondering why I was absent from our riparian bach- elor home?
hvd.hn5lwe	Would he pass out of the exit where the famous Span- ish detective was awaiting him?
hvd.hn5lwe	Would the enigma ever be solved?
hvd.hn5lwe	Yes, I am sure someone has mentioned him. ” “ As a toxicologist? ” “ Probably.
hvd.hn5lwe	Yet had I not seen them together in Kensington Gardens?
hvd.hn5lwe	You had a telegram from Siguenza- eh? ” “ I received it only a quarter of an hour ago, sir,"the woman had replied in broken English.
hvd.hn5lwe	You quite understand where we shall meet? ” “ Quite, signore,"replied Moroni.
hvd.hn5lwe	You suspect that the individual in round spectacles had a hand in it- eh? ”"I do.
hvd.hn5lwe	You're quite sure? ”"Quite,"was Mrs. Alford's reply.
hvd.hn5lwe	he's an excellent fellow- far too good for her! ” “ Why do you entertain such antipathy toward her? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	thing to do with the affair?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ A tall, dark- haired girl? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ About what, Mr. Garfield?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Always hopeless?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And have n't you lost your memory? ” “ A little- perhaps-- but not much."
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And her body was afterwards cremated! ” My beloved gave vent to a shriek of horror — and what more natural?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And how do you feel now, Mr. Garfield?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And how long have I been here? ” “ Nearly three weeks,"was her answer.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And incidentally gain you promotion in the service- eh? ” I laughed.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And the countess? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And the girl? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And what about Moroni? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And where was Mrs. De Gex? ” I inquired.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And why are you seeking her now?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And you have no other niece? ” “ None- I assure you.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And you sus- pect this Charles Rabel at Montauban to be the fugitive-eh? ” “ Exactly,"I replied.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ And you usually travelled with your master, I sup- pose? ”"Nearly always.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Are his features of a rather Oriental cast- a dark, handsome man with deep- set eyes and a dimple in the centre of his chin?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Are they? ” he asked, smiling wearily. “ Personally I care very little.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ As he paid Despujol- eh? ” “ Yes. ” “ Very well, ” replied Rivero.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ At De Gex's instigation?-impossible! ” “ De Gex was the only person to profit by the Baron's death, ” I pointed out.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But I thought you said she lived near Detroit?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But did Gabrielle Engledue die? ” she asked excit- edly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But first tell me if you know a certain Doctor Moroni, who lives in the Via Cavezzo?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But have they his photograph? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But his friend Pedro? ” I remarked, startled at what I had now learned.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But how did you know my daughter?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But is Despujol actually in Nimes?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But is Doctor Moroni known as an expert in poison?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But is not the fact of the three men meeting here in secret under assumed names sufficient proof to you that some fresh plot is afoot?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But mine is a strange case, is it not? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But we wo n't give up till we punish those responsible for poor Miss Tennison's state — will we?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But what is the mystery about this young lady?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But what was the motive? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But where am I? ” I demanded, still bewildered.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But where am I? ” I inquired, utterly dazed.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But why should I give you this sum? ” “ Because I assisted you in the commission of a crime."
hvd.hn5lwe	“ But will he ever tell you the truth? ” I queried.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Death? ” he echoed.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Did I not tell you that De Gex is as friendly with Sanz as he was with Despujol? ” “ I know.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Did the Baron, when in London, visit Mr. De Gex at Stretton Street? ” “ Frequently.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Did you notice that there was any deformity of his hands? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Do tell me, because it will make my inquiries so very much easier. ” “ Inquiries?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Do you know anything of what happened? ”"Perhaps,"was my con- committal reply.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Do you know him?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Do you really infer that Señor De Gex is an assas- sin?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Does your mistress come over from Italy often?".
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Five weeks ago?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Friend?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Gabrielle Engledue? ” she repeated.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Had you seen her before?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Have you an uncle?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Have you ever seen him before? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Have you seen many cases of its administration? ” I asked eagerly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ He has been very kind to you — has he not? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ He left in a violent hurry- eh? ” I exclaimed, well knowing the reason.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Hence De Gex has inherited the Count's fortune? ” I gasped.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ How can I tell? ” replied the girl in a strange blank 143 144 THE STRETTON STREET AFFAIR voice.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ How could I approach him, do you think?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ How did I get here?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ How did you know Moroni? ” I asked quickly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ How do you feel to- day?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ How do you know it? ” “ They — they told me.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I know no lady of that name. ” “ But she is your niece. ”"I have only one niece- Lady Shalford. ” “ And how old is she?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I lost consciousness in London — and now I awake here to find myself where? ” “ You are in good hands, so why trouble?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I lost consciousness in London — and now I awake here to find myself where? ” “ You are in good hands, so why trouble?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I presume you are either English or American? ” “ I am American, ” she replied with a pronounced drawl.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I want no money- only to know the truth. ” “ Of what?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I wonder if you will allow me, Madame, to take your daughter into my consulting- room alone? ” he asked in good English.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ I wonder what kind of shock it was that caused such a change in her?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ If, as you say, I gave you five thousand — which FACING THE MUSIC 63 I certainly never did — then what more can you want?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Is he waiting?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Is it possible that some drug could have been admin- istered to her?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Is that your name? ” The owner of the big mansion went pale to the lips, and muttered an affirmative.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ May I not know? ” asked her host.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Now tell me — what is your theory?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Now tell me, did you ever have any strange illness after Doctor Moroni had called? ” I inquired very seriously."
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Now, tell me what happened to Miss Gabrielle that she should be in her present mental state? ” “ Nobody can tell, sir.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Orosin- did you say?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Oswald De Gex. ”"With what motive? ” he asked, for he held the enorm- ously wealthy financial friend of Spain in awe and admiration."
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Quite, she sprang to my assistance. ” “ Then you were taken ill before she became similarly affected?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ So what is the use? ” “ None.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Surely you know Stretton Street?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then Miss Engledue was quite well at the time?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then do you think she's dead? ” I asked quickly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then he called in the daytime, when your husband was in the City – eh? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then how came you here in St. Malo? ” “ I have not the slightest idea,"was my reply.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then how do you suggest that I should act, Mr. Garfield? ” asked young Mrs. Cullerton.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then why not tell me all the circumstances now?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then why should he have told it to you if he did not suspect that you had been watching? ” my friend queried.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Then you were away in Swanage during the first week of November?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ There's some deep game being played here, I'm certain! ” “ What game? ” I asked quickly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ They say he's a little eccentric- don't they?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ This seems to put an end to our present activity- does it not?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Warn me!-of what, pray?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Was Gabrielle Engledue killed?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Was it possible that what Mademoiselle had told him had scared him?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Was she about twenty- one? ” I asked eagerly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Was she?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Was the Baron a friend of his?".
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Was there not a death in this house- about five weeks ago? ” I asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Well, we have decided to suppress him, have we not? ” said Moroni briefly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Were they poisoned? ” “ Undoubtedly, ” replied the grave- faced old expert.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Were you here five weeks ago?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What could she be doing there? ” “ She was living in a furnished villa with her husband.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What do you remember?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What has passed_eh?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What is that? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What motive could the man have had in gaining access to your room and placing the pins there?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What opinion can I hold when the effect is so plain- loss of memory? ” 152 THE STRETTON STREET AFFAIR"Ah!
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What was the girl's name? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What, the person I bowed to a moment ago?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ What? ” I cried.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Whatever do you mean?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ When did he arrive?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ When do you expect your master back?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Where is Mrs. De Gex? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Who is Professor Thillot?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Who is he?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Who is his friend? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Who would know? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Who's she?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Who?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Why am I here?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Why do you make these terrible allegations against Mr. De Gex? ”.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Why should I be in any personal peril? ” “ Because you know something to the detriment of that wealthy and somewhat eccentric man,"I replied."
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Why should you insinuate such a thing?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Why? ” I hesitated.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Why? ”"If you intend to act as you say you should not hold any clandestine meeting with her, ” Moroni suggested.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ With whom is he keeping the appointment? ” asked Señor Andrade.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Would he be there this afternoon?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Would you not be indignant?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Would you oblige my master, sir? ” inquired the young man eagerly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ Yes, she is rather tall, and dark- haired. ” “ Is n't her real name Engledue?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You are only just recovering. ”"From what?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You are, I suppose, the caretaker?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You have been won- dering why I disappeared so mysteriously — eh?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You have n't any idea who her parents are- or where she lived in America? ”"She lived somewhere near Detroit, I believe.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You have never heard of him in connexion with Miss Tennison?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You have no idea where she is, I suppose?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You mean dangerous from the point of view of dis- covery — eh? ” “ No, not at all.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You mean that you will not assist me?"
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You will meet Señor Rivero- eh? ” “ Certainly,"I said.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You're here to black- mail me- eh?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You've never heard her speak of Mr. De Gex?
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You've- well, perhaps you've fallen in love with her- eh? ” she laughed lightly.
hvd.hn5lwe	“ You- you are Mr. Garfield- Hugh Garfield?"
hvd.hn5lwe	” “ What do you want? ” I asked, surprised at being thus accosted.
hvd.hnn5fw	Of course you recognize this? ” he asked. hvd.hnn5fw 107 THE FIVE KNOTS “ What on earth do you know about that? ” he asked. hvd.hnn5fw 230 THE FIVE KNOTS had somebody wholly dependent upon you for the mere necessaries of life, would you pry too minutely into things? hvd.hnn5fw A tinge of colour mantled Beatrice's cheeks as she 244 BY WHOSE HAND? hvd.hnn5fw And did n't your native servants do their best, at your instigation, to put me away? hvd.hnn5fw And now, Dr. Mercer, do n't you think that we shall be able to dispense with your serv- ices?
hvd.hnn5fw	And now, gentlemen, will you do me the honour of coming with me as far as my house?
hvd.hnn5fw	And tell me, who was the man you were supping with?
hvd.hnn5fw	And then when I come to open the envelope, what do I find inside?
hvd.hnn5fw	And those places down there?'
hvd.hnn5fw	And what had happened to the latter?
hvd.hnn5fw	And what have I come for, friend Cotter?
hvd.hnn5fw	And what was Russell doing all this time?
hvd.hnn5fw	And why are you tampering with those papers?
hvd.hnn5fw	And why did Samuel Flower hate the young man so?
hvd.hnn5fw	And why do they send on this warn- ing?
hvd.hnn5fw	And why should they turn over my liability to you?
hvd.hnn5fw	And why were those figures?
hvd.hnn5fw	And why worry yourself with these things at such a time as this?
hvd.hnn5fw	Are n't you Miss Galloway's maid? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the girl murmured.
hvd.hnn5fw	Are you not one of us?
hvd.hnn5fw	Are you staying in the house? ” “ Did n't you know? ” Beatrice asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	Are you staying in the house? ” “ Did n't you know? ” Beatrice asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	Before Cotter made the declaration you speak of would n't he have to produce the original bill?
hvd.hnn5fw	Besides, how do you know you are safe your- self?
hvd.hnn5fw	Besides, if you will join me in this venture, I may be able to find you the money to pay Flower off. ” “ When do you want me to start?"
hvd.hnn5fw	Brought up as you have been how could you make allowance for people in dire trouble?
hvd.hnn5fw	But I am forgetting myself. ” “ Is it as bad as that? ” Beatrice whispered.
hvd.hnn5fw	But after being brought back again to Castlebridge why had they disappeared in this extraordinary fashion?
hvd.hnn5fw	But did n't it strike you as strange that an unknown man should have made you a present of the missing part of the ornament?
hvd.hnn5fw	But had n't we better ascertain that your uncle is safe? ” “ Oh, yes, ” Beatrice said eagerly.
hvd.hnn5fw	But if the danger were not for her, for whom was it intended?
hvd.hnn5fw	But perhaps I had better tell you how things stand. ” “ So that's the game?
hvd.hnn5fw	But tell me, gentlemen, how did you find me out? ” “ We did n't find you out at all,"Mercer said.
hvd.hnn5fw	But was it substantial, real and tangible, or only the creature of the imagination?
hvd.hnn5fw	But what do you want with Mr. Samuel Flower, young fellow?
hvd.hnn5fw	But what was the good of doing that?
hvd.hnn5fw	But where had those wanderers vanished?
hvd.hnn5fw	But why all this mystery, uncle?
hvd.hnn5fw	But why worry you with all this?
hvd.hnn5fw	Ca n't you rig us up in some- thing in your property- room? ” “ You were always a queer sort,"the stage manager said with a smile.
hvd.hnn5fw	Can there be any connexion between them? ” “ No, of course not, ” Flower said roughly.
hvd.hnn5fw	Can you contrive to see me before you leave to- night?
hvd.hnn5fw	Can you direct me to Maldon Grange? ” “ I am going that way, ” Wilfrid explained.
hvd.hnn5fw	Can you manage that?
hvd.hnn5fw	Come, what have you to fear?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did I search the house?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did anything happen to him last night? ” “ Oh, he is still alive,"Wilfrid said dubiously.
hvd.hnn5fw	Did he know that the mystery had been hatched in the Malay Archipelago?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did he know that the natives there had invented a mode of taking life which baffled even modern medical science?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did he recognize you — I mean, did he recognize you from your name?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did he resemble an adventurer or soldier of fortune?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did you hear anything?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did you suppose I did n't expect to be murdered on my way down to In nnot 195 THE FIVE KNOTS the coast?
hvd.hnn5fw	Did you tell us everything? ” “ Really, I assure you there is no more to be said, ” Wilfrid exclaimed.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do n't you see that things must take their course, Beatrice, and that I must wait and see what is going to happen?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do n't you see, Beatrice, how impossible it is that I can allow you to do this thing?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do n't you think you had better consult some solicitor? ”.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you happen to know his name? ” The policeman shook his head slowly.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you happen to remem- THE FIVE KNOTS ber a rather sensational case in which one of Flower's ships, the Guelder Rose, was mixed up?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you hear? ” Whether the man heeded or not he gave no sign.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know that all the years I have lived with my uncle I have never found him anything but the best of men?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know that for over two years I was a servant of your uncle's on board one of his ships?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know that he left London to- night? ” The Eastern looked up and his beady eyes gleamed like stars.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know that my life is not worth a moment's purchase?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know that one attempt has already been made upon it?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know that your man has gone again?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you know where it came from?"
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you recollect what hap- pened ten years ago in Borneo? ” 20 THE REGISTERED LETTER Cotter groaned.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you remember the night I sent for you when my uncle was hurt?
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you think anything will be gained in the long run by violence of this kind? ”"I am indebted to no friend for this, ” Wilfrid said emphatically.
hvd.hnn5fw	Do you think this mystery has anything to do with the attempt to rob Maldon Grange the other night?"
hvd.hnn5fw	Flower is in some danger?
hvd.hnn5fw	Flower? ” Apparently Cotter had a glimmer of sense, for he grasped the meaning of the question.
hvd.hnn5fw	Flower? ” Russell asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	Had n't we better catch him red- handed? ” “ Plenty of time for that,"Uzali said with a note of laughter in his voice.
hvd.hnn5fw	Had they already discovered that he had gone to London where he was likely to remain for the next few days?
hvd.hnn5fw	Have n't I got worry enough without you turning up to blackmail me? ” The Dutchman waved the suggestion aside.
hvd.hnn5fw	Have they left? ”.
hvd.hnn5fw	Have we not waited and watched and travelled all these years, and did not the star of luck shine upon us at last?
hvd.hnn5fw	Have you any fellow- countrymen in the circus? ” “ Two,"the Ethiopian replied.
hvd.hnn5fw	Have you ever heard him mention a boat called the Guelder Rose? ” “ I have heard of it,"Beatrice murmured.
hvd.hnn5fw	Have you not taken the sacred vows?
hvd.hnn5fw	He has led me a pretty dance already to- night and I shall be very glad when Mason comes back. ” “ Is he in his right senses?
hvd.hnn5fw	He saved my life once, but what of that?
hvd.hnn5fw	How are we to get there in an hour and a half? ” Russell shook his head.
hvd.hnn5fw	How came you to be called in? ” Wilfrid had been dreading the question for some time.
hvd.hnn5fw	How did it recall the tropics?
hvd.hnn5fw	How is your patient? ” Flower was in a very bad way indeed.
hvd.hnn5fw	How long had she been asleep?
hvd.hnn5fw	How was he getting on after his cruel treatment of the previous evening?
hvd.hnn5fw	I daresay you wonder what it is all about? ” “ My dear sir, I am consumed with curiosity,"Wilfrid said.
hvd.hnn5fw	I dread to have to tell her. ” “ But is it necessary? ” Beatrice asked eagerly.
hvd.hnn5fw	I have had many un- pleasant things to face in my life, but nothing that 246 BY WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hnn5fw	I mean, is this the only big debt you have? ” “ The other matters are pinpricks, ” Wilfrid said.
hvd.hnn5fw	I must finish some work before we return to Maldon Grange to- morrow. ”"Are we going back to- morrow? ” Beatrice asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	I presume you will come down to Maldon Grange to- morrow?
hvd.hnn5fw	I suppose it is too late to think about going there to- night? ” Russell said the thing was impossible before morning.
hvd.hnn5fw	I suppose there's no risk of that?"
hvd.hnn5fw	I suppose you have heard of Samuel Flower? ” Wilfrid started slightly.
hvd.hnn5fw	I suppose you know that he has a niece, Miss Galloway, living with him? ” “ Yes, I know that, ” Russell said with a grin.
hvd.hnn5fw	I want information. ” “ Why not?
hvd.hnn5fw	I want to know who was the other man who sat at the same table with you? ” Once again the old dread was closing in upon Beatrice.
hvd.hnn5fw	I wonder what these fellows are driving at?
hvd.hnn5fw	If I pay ten shillings a week for these rooms and bring my own furniture, will that satisfy you, eh?
hvd.hnn5fw	If you had this money, do you think you could manage to do it?
hvd.hnn5fw	If you were watching us at supper I suppose you saw whom we sat down with?"
hvd.hnn5fw	In the circumstances, was n't it rather risky to settle down here? ” “ Well, you see, I did n't know, ” Wilfrid ex- plained.
hvd.hnn5fw	Is he better? ” Wilfrid turned on his heel without reply.
hvd.hnn5fw	Is my credit so good that you could afford to speculate in a bill of mine?
hvd.hnn5fw	Is n't he the very essence of middle- class respectability?
hvd.hnn5fw	Is n't it heavy?
hvd.hnn5fw	Is n't it rather funny you should find yourself settled down within a stone's throw of Samuel Flower's house? ”.
hvd.hnn5fw	Is our friend Samuel Flower still alive?
hvd.hnn5fw	Is that a bargain? ” The lights were going out one by one.
hvd.hnn5fw	Is that good enough? ” Wilfrid could have testified the same had he chosen to do so, but it was not for him to speak then.
hvd.hnn5fw	Is there anything else I can do short of lending you the money? ”.
hvd.hnn5fw	Is there no sequel?
hvd.hnn5fw	Is there nothing in the world worth speaking about except those yellow- faced devils who are after us now?
hvd.hnn5fw	Is your friend in the same predicament?
hvd.hnn5fw	It seems almost incredible, but the match was perfect. ” “ You let him have it? ” Flower asked hoarsely.
hvd.hnn5fw	Keep those fellows away, will 235 THE FIVE KNOTS you?
hvd.hnn5fw	Man alive, what is the matter?
hvd.hnn5fw	My dear fellow, why do you let yourself be beguiled by these bloodsuckers?
hvd.hnn5fw	My only fear is that the other vengeance may reach him first. ” “ You allude to the matter of the string with five knots, I suppose?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now I wonder what this means?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now tell me candidly — have you suffered any wrong at the hands of this Samuel Flower?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now what should you say if I could produce the missing half?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now who should you 116 THE YELLOW HAND say that fellow is, and where do you suppose he comes from?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now, are you alone here?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now, can you tell me what he is in a position to do at the present moment?
hvd.hnn5fw	Now, do you think you could find out the names of some of the residents?
hvd.hnn5fw	Oh, why did n't we leave well alone?
hvd.hnn5fw	Perhaps you are acquainted with the history of that moth?
hvd.hnn5fw	So it never struck you to ask your uncle the history of that pendant?
hvd.hnn5fw	So that is Mal- don Grange?
hvd.hnn5fw	So that is the man you were speaking about?
hvd.hnn5fw	So that was Miss Galloway you were talking to, eh?
hvd.hnn5fw	So this is the piece of string the fellow was using, Beatrice?
hvd.hnn5fw	So this is your patient?
hvd.hnn5fw	Still, we have got our warning, and I dare say we shall have time--"“ But shall we? ” Flower said impatiently.
hvd.hnn5fw	Tell me truthfully, is this the first attack of the kind which has been made upon my uncle?
hvd.hnn5fw	There is no suggestion of tragedy in this brilliant scene? ” Beatrice leaned towards her companion.
hvd.hnn5fw	Therefore, why had they gone?
hvd.hnn5fw	Was he a foreigner, or an actor, or what?
hvd.hnn5fw	Was it deadly?
hvd.hnn5fw	Was it possible, he asked himself, there could be any connexion between the maid's story and the more startling events of the day?
hvd.hnn5fw	Was it wise, he wondered, for Flower to return to Maldon Grange?
hvd.hnn5fw	Well, what is it, Goatley? ”"I ventured to follow you, gentlemen,"Goatley said, “ in fact, I have been following you all the evening.
hvd.hnn5fw	Well, what is it? ” Wilfrid turned impatiently as a maid- servant came into the dining- room.
hvd.hnn5fw	Were they following Flower?
hvd.hnn5fw	What about your revenge then?
hvd.hnn5fw	What are you going to do, sir?
hvd.hnn5fw	What black art was being practised by these miscreants?
hvd.hnn5fw	What brings you in the house at this time in the morning? ” Wilfrid pressed his hands to his head.
hvd.hnn5fw	What can it mean? ” “ I think you know as much about it as I do, ” Wilfrid said guardedly.
hvd.hnn5fw	What connexion 33* THE FIVE KNOTS was there between a prosaic British citizen like Samuel Flower and a bloodthirsty Malay on the prowl for vengeance?
hvd.hnn5fw	What connexion have you with Darton& Co.?
hvd.hnn5fw	What did it mean?
hvd.hnn5fw	What did you say your name was?
hvd.hnn5fw	What do you expect to see? ” “ Well, I expect to see Jansen and one of my fellow- countrymen to begin with, ” Uzali said grimly.
hvd.hnn5fw	What do you make of it, Dr. Mercer? ” Flower was speaking hurriedly.
hvd.hnn5fw	What do you say?"
hvd.hnn5fw	What do you think he is suffering from?
hvd.hnn5fw	What do you want me to do?
hvd.hnn5fw	What does it mean, sir?
hvd.hnn5fw	What does it mean? ” “ I only wish I could tell you, ” Wilfrid replied, “ but I will not rest till I get to the bottom of it.
hvd.hnn5fw	What had THE FIVE KNOTS become of Samuel Flower?
hvd.hnn5fw	What has become of Flower and his niece?
hvd.hnn5fw	What has come to the place? ” he muttered.
hvd.hnn5fw	What infernal thing was going on?
hvd.hnn5fw	What is the trouble, Mercer? ” By way of reply Wilfrid laid his letter upon the table and asked Vardon to peruse it.
hvd.hnn5fw	What shall I do with them, sir? ” “ Tie them up behind and let them run, ” the man in the cart said brutally.
hvd.hnn5fw	What shall we do? ” “ Courage, ” Wilfrid said coolly.
hvd.hnn5fw	What terrible things were happening on the other side of that locked door?
hvd.hnn5fw	What was he doing with that ornament which Miss Galloway was wearing? ” By way of reply Mercer led the way to one of the refreshment- rooms.
hvd.hnn5fw	What was he like?
hvd.hnn5fw	What was this new terror?
hvd.hnn5fw	What will you think when I tell you that he is actually a patient of mine? ” “ Oh, I am aware of that, ” Russell said coolly.
hvd.hnn5fw	What would become of him if a single ship's officer had sur- vived the wreck of the Japonica?
hvd.hnn5fw	What would he have done with it had Beatrice not appeared?
hvd.hnn5fw	Where had he been in contact with such vapour?
hvd.hnn5fw	Where had he smelt that perfume?
hvd.hnn5fw	Where is Miss Galloway, and where is she to be found? ” “ Do n't, ” Cotter groaned.
hvd.hnn5fw	Where is the security?
hvd.hnn5fw	Where is your pluck, man?
hvd.hnn5fw	Where would he be now if the whole facts of that Guelder Rose business had come to light?
hvd.hnn5fw	Who are you? ” The question was asked with an abruptness that almost startled Wilfrid.
hvd.hnn5fw	Why could n't we be satisfied with our ill- gotten gains?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why did that man try to get into the conservatory?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why do you ask? ” “ Because the original bill is in my hands,"Wilfrid said grimly.
hvd.hnn5fw	Why is the window open?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why should I picture her delight and pleasure in the new home she has to look after, which she regards merely as the beginning of my prosperity?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why should anybody know it for the matter of that?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why should the poor girl know the truth?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why stand there in that ridicu- lous attitude?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why was it associated with some tragedy?
hvd.hnn5fw	Why was n't she in fancy dress?
hvd.hnn5fw	Will you come this way, please?"
hvd.hnn5fw	Will you express my regrets to Miss Galloway and tell her how sorry I am for what has occurred?
hvd.hnn5fw	Will you tell my mother that I shall not be back till to- morrow?
hvd.hnn5fw	Will you unlock the door?"
hvd.hnn5fw	Would he have yielded to tempta- tion or not?
hvd.hnn5fw	XXX A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING XXXI A QUESTION OF HONOUR XXXII No Place Like HOME XXXIII By Whose Hand?
hvd.hnn5fw	You are Miss Galloway? ” “ You are Miss Marcombe,"Beatrice said a little coldly.
hvd.hnn5fw	You can manage to be here at midnight?
hvd.hnn5fw	You could n't swear to it? ” “ Perhaps not, ” Beatrice admitted.
hvd.hnn5fw	You have made an examination? ” “ I have n't the remotest idea, ” Wilfrid said frankly.
hvd.hnn5fw	You have n't forgotten that? ” Wilfrid shook his head.
hvd.hnn5fw	You have n't had any per- sonal correspondence with them, or anything of that kind? ” “ Nothing of the sort, my dear fellow.
hvd.hnn5fw	You have told your master I am coming? ” “ I have done that, ” Cotter whined, “ and he 192 DR. JANSEN will see you at once.
hvd.hnn5fw	You say you saw them in this room when you entered by the bal- cony? ” e ence “ I did, ” Wilfrid replied.
hvd.hnn5fw	and get a motor- car?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ And about that, sir? ” he asked with a shudder.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ And his speech? ” “ His speech told me nothing.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ And what have you been crying about?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ And what is the matter with the door?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ And why have you come empty- handed? ” “ For the simple reason that there was nothing to bring, ” Russell said grimly.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Are you not well? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ But the man nearly choked the life out of me all the same. ” “ What has happened? ” Beatrice asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ But what I want to know is, where do you come in?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ But what connexion is there between that hand and such an assembly as this? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ But why do they part with my bill like this? ” “ I give that up, ” said Vardon.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ But why should you be afraid of him?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Ca n't you explain?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Ca n't you guess?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Dare you trust him?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Did I not tell you that I should come back, my friend?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Did I tell you what the pro- gramme is?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Did you see anything?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Did you see him? ” she exclaimed.. “ I saw nothing, ” Flower panted.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Did you think that I was such a fool as to embark upon an enterprise like that without taking proper precautions?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do n't you know me? ” “ Oh, I know you, ” Flower whispered.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do n't you know that nobody but the doctor and the nurse are allowed here?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do n't you think you had better go to bed?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do you admire my moth?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do you mean that you wo n't tell me?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do you mean to say these are your flowers? ” Wilfrid asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do you think you have acted for the best? ” she said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Do you want to murder me?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Dr. Mercer, what does it mean? ” “ Perhaps you had better tell me your experi- ence first, ” Wilfrid suggested.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Has anything gone wrong? ” the latter asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Have I said or done anything wrong? ” But Flower was waiting to hear no more.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ He interests you? ” Wilfrid asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ He is not dead, then?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ He wants to know me? ” Flower murmured.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ How can I thank you for all your kindness? ” she said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ How did it go? ” he asked eagerly."
hvd.hnn5fw	“ How did it happen? ” Wilfrid exclaimed.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ How did you get here?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ How is the thing done?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I began to wonder if you were coming back. ” “ How is Flower getting on? ” said Russell.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I did not quite catch your name. ” “ Surely you have not forgotten me? ” Wilfrid said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I shall find some in the hall. ” “ Am I to stay outside?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I suppose it is no use asking you what mischief you are up to now?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I suppose there are tendons cut or anything of that kind?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I suppose this is the original bill you gave to Darton? ” “ Make your mind easy on that score, ” Wilfrid said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ I suppose you do n't happen to have made an enemy of either of these men?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is he dead? ” “ I do n't know,"Wilfrid said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is it not a pity you ever came at all?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is it worth while?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is n't it rather late for an entertainment? ” Wilfrid asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is there any way into the house? ” Uzali asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is there no balcony at the back of the house, no creepers, or rain- pipes, or anything of that kind?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is there no other way? ” Wilfrid whispered.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Is there such a thing in the garden as a house leek?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ It shall be as you say, and I hope you will forget what I said to- day. ” 241 BY WHOSE HAND?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Must we do that, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Now, what next?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Oh, why do you waste my time like this? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ So that is what you were talking about? ” he said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ So wo have been to Borneo together, eh?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ So you think it is like that, do you? ” he said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ So you think this is a case of burglary? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ The point is, do you want to take it up?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ The question is, who is going first?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ The string with five knots?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Then he might have died a natural death? ” “ No, ” Wilfrid said firmly.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Then whom do they want?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ This, then, is the treasure which you have all been after? ” “ I expect so,"Uzali said with a smile.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Was my name mentioned between you? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Was n't that cry enough to wake the dead?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Well, what the devil do you want? ” he broke out passionately.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Well, you blockhead,"Flower cried, “ why do n't you speak?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What are you doing here just at this time?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What are you doing here? ” Wilfrid asked sternly.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What are you going to do? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What are you going to do? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What are you talking about?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What can I do for you? ” he asked curtly.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What did I tell you? ” Uzali said in disgust.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What did I tell you? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What do I gain by hearing you?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What do you know about him?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What do you want me to do?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What does it all mean? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What does it matter?'
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What does it mean? ” Beatrice asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What else could I do?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is it?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is it? ” he murmured.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is the good of crying over spilt milk?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is the good of going on like that? ” Flower said irritably.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is the good of it?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is the matter? ” she said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What is the meaning of this? ” “ Hush, ” the girl whispered, “ not a word.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What on earth does this mean? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What on earth has happened? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What on earth is the matter with the girl?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ What other one? ” Wilfrid asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Where do you want to go? ” “ Maldon Grange, ” Uzali replied.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Where have you been?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Where have you been?"
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Where is your master? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Why is n't Cotter here?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Would it not be better? ” she said scornfully.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ Would you mind telling me? ” Russell asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You are disposed to try it? ” Wilfrid asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You are not going yet? ” she said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You are not hurt?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You are sure of this? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You do n't mean to say it was the string? ” he shouted.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You do n't mean to tell me that it was the same hand?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You do n't want to go home?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You know all about it? ” Uzali said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You know what I want done?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You marked the right house? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You must dine with me?
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You wish me to go? ” he stammered.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You wo n't want me for anything else? ” “ Well, no, sir,"the nurse said.
hvd.hnn5fw	“ You would n't care for me to stay all night, I suppose?
hvd.hn1kz2	A fight? hvd.hn1kz2 A promise?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And Hartwell's after it?
hvd.hn1kz2	And by going I can save all these people — five and three and one — everything you catalogued?
hvd.hn1kz2	And do you think Miss Rexford was right — or do we go back as friends?
hvd.hn1kz2	And have n't I been what you'd want me to be?
hvd.hn1kz2	And he's one of the executors? hvd.hn1kz2 And how did you meet her?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And if Frances is married, he'll be safe?
hvd.hn1kz2	And if the magistrate does n't choose to detain me — what then?
hvd.hn1kz2	And nobody's suggested that he's the only per- son in six months who's been prostrated by the heat?
hvd.hn1kz2	And none of those fake things were yours?
hvd.hn1kz2	And not yours?
hvd.hn1kz2	And the safety of one?
hvd.hn1kz2	And then?
hvd.hn1kz2	And we were quite finished anyway — weren't we? hvd.hn1kz2 And yet,"said Hollister,"I've been sharp enough to observe some very trivial things — haven't I?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And you did n't find Hartwell's money?
hvd.hn1kz2	And you say the — the fortunes of three people depend on my going away from here?
hvd.hn1kz2	And you still think you're willing to have me marry her?
hvd.hn1kz2	And you want a thousand dollars to carry you over until your firm starts trading again?
hvd.hn1kz2	And you'll stay with me to the limit?
hvd.hn1kz2	And you?
hvd.hn1kz2	And — I hope you'll pardon me — but did she have any references?
hvd.hn1kz2	Answer me — yes or no?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are n't we silly, though?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you chilly?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you fond of gambling, Mr. Hollister? hvd.hn1kz2 Are you prepared to begin this service at once?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you so situated that twenty- five hundred for two months is nothing? hvd.hn1kz2 Around me?
hvd.hn1kz2	B- but — how can I help it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ballin — you've struck the rocks — know that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Because — well, what is the because — this time?
hvd.hn1kz2	But he's — he wants you to be?
hvd.hn1kz2	But is it the only answer? hvd.hn1kz2 But is it true?
hvd.hn1kz2	But the biggest things are all around us, are n't they?
hvd.hn1kz2	But what I want to know now is where Mr. Hartwell saw me last?
hvd.hn1kz2	But who is? hvd.hn1kz2 But will I be if I do?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But — aren't you going to give me the real rea- son, Ned? hvd.hn1kz2 But — but what in — what's the idea?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But — hang it — when I can call you something else besides Mrs. — wo n't you please tell me? hvd.hn1kz2 But — it's secret work, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But — that ending I"Well, what about it?
hvd.hn1kz2	By the way — who's this man Hartwell?
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you be here punctually at four o'clock this afternoon?
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you explain how they got into your trunk, if they're not yours?
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you state what comparative rank that gave you in the university strength tests?
hvd.hn1kz2	Could n't you wait over one more week — just one? hvd.hn1kz2 Did he do that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did n't you say you're in Wall Street, Mr. Hol- lister?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did you ever see anything to equal that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did you expect me to agree to that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did you hear of the curious document he drew up?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did you? hvd.hn1kz2 Do I?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do n't you know?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do n't you think you might have misjudged him, Mr. Hollister?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you honestly think that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you speak French fluently?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you speak German fluently?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you think so?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you think you have?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you, old top? hvd.hn1kz2 Even if I should make that condition absolute?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Every one else seems to be going; but wo n't you drop down to the grill with me, Mr. Hollister? hvd.hn1kz2 Excuse me — am I wrong, or is your name Hol- lister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Final?
hvd.hn1kz2	First,he said,"I wonder if you'd tell me how long you've known Miss Rexford?"
hvd.hn1kz2	For how much?
hvd.hn1kz2	For instance?
hvd.hn1kz2	For me? hvd.hn1kz2 For you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Gread God, have n't I told you what it's for? hvd.hn1kz2 Hartwell ca n't touch him?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Has n't any- body ever been prostrated by the heat and — and ex- ertion before?
hvd.hn1kz2	Have n't I been demonstrative enough? hvd.hn1kz2 Have n't I?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Have n't I?
hvd.hn1kz2	Hello — yes — Cable Officet — What cable office? hvd.hn1kz2 Here I am — what in hell's this?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Here? hvd.hn1kz2 How about it, Ferguson?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How about this?
hvd.hn1kz2	How are you?
hvd.hn1kz2	How c- can I hurry?
hvd.hn1kz2	How can I thank you?
hvd.hn1kz2	How do you know?
hvd.hn1kz2	How do you like it?
hvd.hn1kz2	How do you mean?
hvd.hn1kz2	How is it you happened to ask me if I was going west — to Vancouver or Seattle?
hvd.hn1kz2	How long was I — out?
hvd.hn1kz2	How so?
hvd.hn1kz2	How'd you like'em?
hvd.hn1kz2	How's what coming?
hvd.hn1kz2	I beg your pardon? hvd.hn1kz2 I beg your pardon?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I crave benison, fair sir —"Venison?
hvd.hn1kz2	I mean, as a prosecuting witness? hvd.hn1kz2 I said,"repeated this able- bodied citizen, exhib- iting an amazing lack of suavity in his preliminaries,"could you spare me a dollar?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I think that eliminates you, does n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	I understand that you found her by advertising — and that her references were all good?
hvd.hn1kz2	I — I came, did n't I?
hvd.hn1kz2	I'm afraid we ought to go back, Mr. Hollister — are n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	I'm hating myself so, Mr. Hollister —"Why should you?
hvd.hn1kz2	I'm — I'm simply to go to the Aspinwall — and play around — and wait for further orders?
hvd.hn1kz2	I've been so unjust to you —"Have you?
hvd.hn1kz2	If I ever tried —?
hvd.hn1kz2	If it's on the coast, I'm afraid not; but it would n't cost me much to listen, would it?
hvd.hn1kz2	If you need friends so badly,he ventured,"why do n't you look around you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	If — if I were your son, would you want me to take this job?
hvd.hn1kz2	In Bermuda? hvd.hn1kz2 In my estate?"
hvd.hn1kz2	In plain English, that's Mr. Hartwell's book, and you're trying to accuse me of stealing it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is Mr. Cloud — I mean your brother- in- law — much like your — your husband?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is it on their account that you want me to stay?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't a dollar pretty steep? hvd.hn1kz2 Is n't it possible that instead of an impression, there were black pencil marks on it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't she sweet? hvd.hn1kz2 Is n't that Hartwell?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't that enough?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is that a fact?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is that all?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is that any reason? hvd.hn1kz2 Is that so?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is that so? hvd.hn1kz2 Is that so?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is that the one you had in mind, Phil?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is that true? hvd.hn1kz2 It is early, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	It is n't definite in your mind?
hvd.hn1kz2	It is n't true, then, that only a few days before I did meet you, you were — you did n't have a posi- tion?
hvd.hn1kz2	It just occurred to me — did Pete describe our little directors'meeting up at the Aspinwall?
hvd.hn1kz2	It's a great afternoon, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	It's so cool to- night —"Would you let that keep you from relieving Ned of his troubles?
hvd.hn1kz2	Jim — where were you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Job? hvd.hn1kz2 Just you three?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Let's keep on walking, shall we? hvd.hn1kz2 Living here, I take it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	May I see the ring?
hvd.hn1kz2	Meaning what?
hvd.hn1kz2	Mr. Hartwell was n't the one who first brought up the subject?
hvd.hn1kz2	Mr. Hollister, wo n't you save me the — the pain of refusing to answer you? hvd.hn1kz2 Mr. Hollister, you and I do n't need to talk at long range, do we?
hvd.hn1kz2	Must you go?
hvd.hn1kz2	My brother- in- law?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ned did n't tell you — or Mr. Kirby didn't — that we'd taken passage on it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ned wo n't enlighten you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ned's always like that when he introduces peo- ple, is n't he? hvd.hn1kz2 Net?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Never's a long, long time, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	No large bills — which a man of your resources might have mislaid and forgotten?
hvd.hn1kz2	No, I did n't I"I suppose you did n't advise the management that you'd lost a ring, either?
hvd.hn1kz2	No, but — suppose I want to communicate with you?
hvd.hn1kz2	No; but are you free to accept such an oppor- tunity?
hvd.hn1kz2	Nor Ned, nor Pete Kirby?
hvd.hn1kz2	Not a newspaper correspondent?
hvd.hn1kz2	Not much difference these days, is there? hvd.hn1kz2 Nothing — criminal, is it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now are you convinced that I wo n't maroon you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Now it's understood that neither of us is to talk for publication — or to any one not already involved?
hvd.hn1kz2	Now — had you left any money in your room when you went down- stairs?
hvd.hn1kz2	Now,said Hollister shakily, as he freed her,"where's that carriage?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now? hvd.hn1kz2 Of me?
hvd.hn1kz2	Of what New York clubs are you a member? hvd.hn1kz2 Oh, I ca n't, ca n't I?
hvd.hn1kz2	Oh, by the way, Pete, do you happen to have anything less than a century note on you? hvd.hn1kz2 Oh, well,"said Hollister, receding into the hall- way;"at least it gives our nerves a rest, does n't it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Oh, you prefer to have me elaborate? hvd.hn1kz2 On your word of honor you're not — connected with Jim in any way?"
hvd.hn1kz2	On your word of honor?
hvd.hn1kz2	P. W. Hollister, of New York?
hvd.hn1kz2	Partly, though?
hvd.hn1kz2	Pete, ca n't you loosen up? hvd.hn1kz2 Pete, why in thun- der did n't you stay over there?
hvd.hn1kz2	Please, Jim —"Well?
hvd.hn1kz2	Please, may I talk to you just one little min- ute?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ready?
hvd.hn1kz2	Really going, Ned?
hvd.hn1kz2	Really, Mr. Hartwell, I do n't see —"Is it the price? hvd.hn1kz2 Really?
hvd.hn1kz2	Really? hvd.hn1kz2 Really?
hvd.hn1kz2	Really? hvd.hn1kz2 San — Francisco?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Say, what on earth is this shack? hvd.hn1kz2 Shall we start back?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Shall we start?
hvd.hn1kz2	She is a good deal of a joker, is n't she?
hvd.hn1kz2	She — you remember once we found you in a steamer chair, and you were tearing a page off a pad of paper? hvd.hn1kz2 Shop?
hvd.hn1kz2	So she got her ring back, did she?
hvd.hn1kz2	So soon? hvd.hn1kz2 So you can stay with us, if you choose?"
hvd.hn1kz2	So? hvd.hn1kz2 So?
hvd.hn1kz2	Some car?
hvd.hn1kz2	Something valuable?
hvd.hn1kz2	Straight?
hvd.hn1kz2	Suppose I never see him again? hvd.hn1kz2 Tell- ing Ford stories?"
hvd.hn1kz2	That is — on the grounds that it'll be worth while to you? hvd.hn1kz2 That sounds fine and heroic, does n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	That you did n't do what?
hvd.hn1kz2	That's all you can tell me?
hvd.hn1kz2	That's pretty tough, is n't it? hvd.hn1kz2 That's what we both wanted, was n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	That's your decision?
hvd.hn1kz2	That's your way of saying that you do n't believe me?
hvd.hn1kz2	That?
hvd.hn1kz2	The happiness of five people — depends on me? hvd.hn1kz2 The trip is a bit rough, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Then it is n't business that's kept you here?
hvd.hn1kz2	Then it's fight, is it? hvd.hn1kz2 Then what did you mean,"he asked quizzically,"by saying that we've got to have an understand- ing?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Then you went into — banking?
hvd.hn1kz2	Then your argument is n't so good, is it? hvd.hn1kz2 This is n't yours?
hvd.hn1kz2	This means,he said quickly,"that I'm hired to get possession of news of some sort — can't you tell me if it's for an individual, or a government?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Threatened? hvd.hn1kz2 To have died — and come to life again — there?"
hvd.hn1kz2	To whom?
hvd.hn1kz2	To- morrow?
hvd.hn1kz2	Truly?
hvd.hn1kz2	Under what system was your general physical condition determined?
hvd.hn1kz2	Want to hear my theory?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was it a copy of this, Phil?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was n't it a year ago yesterday?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well — a week, or a month, or what?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well — did he say that purposely, or just by accident? hvd.hn1kz2 Well — do you really want me to be specific?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well — isn't it true?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well — it is n't a spy you want, is it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, are you going to come through, or are n't you? hvd.hn1kz2 Well, how are they coming?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, then,said Hollister incisively,"the sooner you get rid of Miss Rexford, the better it'll be for everybody, wo n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, what do you think I'm going to say next?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, what is it? hvd.hn1kz2 Well,"he said slowly to the shocked assembly,"is n't that for — for the magistrate — and not, you — to ask?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well,he said,"I suppose you know what hap- pened out on the veranda to- day?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well?
hvd.hn1kz2	Were you expecting funds?
hvd.hn1kz2	What do you mean, Jim?
hvd.hn1kz2	What else can it be?
hvd.hn1kz2	What in hell do you mean?
hvd.hn1kz2	What in the mischief is the matter, Ned?
hvd.hn1kz2	What in thunder is the matter?
hvd.hn1kz2	What is n't there for you?
hvd.hn1kz2	What is the use,she said,"of beating around the bush?
hvd.hn1kz2	What is your profession?
hvd.hn1kz2	What is? hvd.hn1kz2 What one is that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What salary were you receiving when your em- ployment ceased?
hvd.hn1kz2	What seems to be the excitement?
hvd.hn1kz2	What separation is that?
hvd.hn1kz2	What sort of men do you have to see?
hvd.hn1kz2	What was it, Phil?
hvd.hn1kz2	What was the highest total of points you ever scored under that system?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's missing?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's plain?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's that — something you had n't ordered? hvd.hn1kz2 What's that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's that?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's the joke?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's the name of your friend with the furs?
hvd.hn1kz2	What?
hvd.hn1kz2	What?
hvd.hn1kz2	What?
hvd.hn1kz2	When I'd send Cloud to Ossining rather than let loose my grip, do you think I'll let you stand in the way?
hvd.hn1kz2	When are we going to have another stroll to- gether?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where are we?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where does this Miss Rexford fit in, Pete?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where shall you — stay?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where was I? hvd.hn1kz2 Where was it, sir?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where'd you come from?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where's Jim Hartwell?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who gave you that impression?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who is it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who was it that suggested your having a com- panion?
hvd.hn1kz2	Whose back?
hvd.hn1kz2	Whose?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why did you take this boat?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why not? hvd.hn1kz2 Why not?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why on earth did n't Ned come to me?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why should I?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why should it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why should you say that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why — she's Frances'companion — pretty girl, do n't you think?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why —?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why, I — How did you know — I lost it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why?
hvd.hn1kz2	Will this do you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Will you be kind enough to step into the man- ager's office for half a minute?
hvd.hn1kz2	Will you play fair?
hvd.hn1kz2	With what success?
hvd.hn1kz2	Wo n't you begin with Mr. Hart- well? hvd.hn1kz2 Wo n't you please stay, then?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Would you take your oath to that, Mr. Hollis- ter?
hvd.hn1kz2	Yes?
hvd.hn1kz2	Yes?
hvd.hn1kz2	Yes?
hvd.hn1kz2	Yet you were willing to compromise yourself by coming here to ask me?
hvd.hn1kz2	You are at present at liberty?
hvd.hn1kz2	You are ill, are n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You are n't thinking I'd double- cross you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You are?
hvd.hn1kz2	You ca n't imagine anything more tremendously big than life itself, can you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You claim you're not operating for him?
hvd.hn1kz2	You could n't ever —WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 331"I said, if I could — would you go ahead?
hvd.hn1kz2	You did n't chance to lose a bar- pin, did you? hvd.hn1kz2 You did, did you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You do n't fancy I'm a comedian, do you? hvd.hn1kz2 You do n't know if it has to do with me?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You have had no commercial training except in a brokerage office?
hvd.hn1kz2	You kept no — decorative jewelry of your own there?
hvd.hn1kz2	You know — Ned told you perhaps — that he's practically engaged — to my sister- in- law?
hvd.hn1kz2	You liaven't told her — have you? hvd.hn1kz2 You mean there was n't enough in it for you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You mean you wo n't? hvd.hn1kz2 You mean — Pm not to know who he is?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You never intended to play square, did you? hvd.hn1kz2 You promised him to sail?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You realize, of course, that our agreement, in this form, is as binding as though committed to writing? hvd.hn1kz2 You remember what you said about that imita- tion diamond ring, do n't you, Pete?
hvd.hn1kz2	You said — my ring is paste? hvd.hn1kz2 You simply ask me — without rhyme or reason — to vegetate here instead of carrying out my plans to go home?
hvd.hn1kz2	You were a classmate of Ned's, were n't you? hvd.hn1kz2 You were n't cabling for money, were you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You — you slipped me too much? hvd.hn1kz2 You'd bought no gifts for your friends, per- haps?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You'll have an ice, or something, wo n't you, Phil?
hvd.hn1kz2	You'll sail the day after to- morrow? hvd.hn1kz2 You're assuming that you're not going to work?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You're going to Bermuda, too, are you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You're good at riddles, are n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You're here indefinitely, then?
hvd.hn1kz2	You're the — the governing — You're the —"Whose life? hvd.hn1kz2 You're to dine with us to- night, of course — we'll arrange it then; shall we?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You've been here three times? hvd.hn1kz2 You?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Your height?
hvd.hn1kz2	Your weight?
hvd.hn1kz2	Your word of honor?
hvd.hn1kz2	*"On the contrary I —""You've got the nerve to stand there and tell me he did n't hire you to stir up your share of this dev- ilishness?
hvd.hn1kz2	, “ And of course you believe her implicitly? ” “ Implicitly. ”- He was n't unprepared for that verdict; still, it dis- appointed him.
hvd.hn1kz2	142 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED"Can you look me straight in the eyes and say that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	256 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED"What's the matter with the balcony?"
hvd.hn1kz2	40 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED"Why?"
hvd.hn1kz2	66 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 67"Kiimmel?
hvd.hn1kz2	94 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED"Palm Beach?"
hvd.hn1kz2	A little sapphire and pearl pin?
hvd.hn1kz2	A — a salaried companion, do you mean?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Again, why?
hvd.hn1kz2	Agreed?
hvd.hn1kz2	All clear so far?
hvd.hn1kz2	An hour or two later Ned was telling me that he and Peter would be 274 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED"And you truly do n't know what the kernel of it is?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And Jim would know where it started, would n't he?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And after he's con- vinced you — buy your transportation — and see the judge, will you?
hvd.hn1kz2	And if I only had —"WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 323 At length Ballin's cousin urged:"Yes, Mr. Hol- lister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And if you think —""You dispute it?
hvd.hn1kz2	And it was found in your room, too?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And my old place'll be open for me as soon as —""How many years did you occupy your last posi- tion?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And she tells me things —""What things?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And she'd put it right up to Jim, would n't she?
hvd.hn1kz2	And tell me everything you can — and hear what/ have to say?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And that pair of kids ca n't wriggle out!^ They ca n't WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 333"Because you've fallen for that mealy- mouthed girl?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And was he to impede her?
hvd.hn1kz2	And we admitted we knew he'd subsidized Miss Rex- ford for a sort of game- warden, did n't we?
hvd.hn1kz2	And were you waiting for'em outside or inside?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And when I saw you —""But why did you book your passage under an assumed name?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And while we're on the subject, you do n't imagine Hartwell tried to sandbag me be- cause he thought I might be a sort of competitor of his, do you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And why should n't Diederick have spoken to her?
hvd.hn1kz2	And without fear of let or hindrance, I ask, prithee — how's things between you and Frances?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And yet what other offer of employment had he had?
hvd.hn1kz2	And yet why not?
hvd.hn1kz2	And you say your kit- bag was there?
hvd.hn1kz2	And your brother- in- law?"
hvd.hn1kz2	And — did you get the others?
hvd.hn1kz2	And — three years ago?
hvd.hn1kz2	And —""Is there anything else?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Any idea?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Any time you want to get brained — just see me again, will you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Anything at all?
hvd.hn1kz2	Anything in the passport envelope of the trunk?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you going to swear that even if I did find your book, and have it in my room, I did n't try to return it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you horrid?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you positive you are n't imagining a calamity —?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you prepared to accept such a commission?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you prepared to be- come an investigator for an unknown principal?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you ready?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you sure she identified it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you sure?
hvd.hn1kz2	Are you willing to accept a hundred dollars a week and all expenses?"
hvd.hn1kz2	As I did before Ned came down?
hvd.hn1kz2	As a witness, Mr. Hartwell, you have n't much to say, have you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	As bad as that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Because I ca n't imagine you bowing to a waiter unless he was the son of a duke — can you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Because if you ever tried —"WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 191"Tried what?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Both of you heard that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Brown?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But as an older and wiser man than you —""Who is?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But as long as Diederick's here —""Who's the principal, Pete?
hvd.hn1kz2	But could he conceivably tell Ballin's cousin one- half of what he knew about her, or one- tenth of what he suspected?
hvd.hn1kz2	But how did you know we were coming to Bermuda?
hvd.hn1kz2	But it depends on what?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But must we?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But suppose I still feel as I did when you opened negotia- tions once before?
hvd.hn1kz2	But why all the hocus- pocus?
hvd.hn1kz2	But why?
hvd.hn1kz2	But you've done more than I can tell you — are you sure you meant it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But — did either of you see what was on the sheet I tore off?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But — what is there for me?"
hvd.hn1kz2	But — wouldn't the natural thing have been for her to leave him at his first insinuation?
hvd.hn1kz2	But — you are a little bright- eyes, are n't you? ” “ That's what they pay me for. ” Miss Rexford laced and unlaced her fingers.
hvd.hn1kz2	By the way, what was your specialty?"
hvd.hn1kz2	By whom?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Ca n't we forget this whole thing and start in over again — to be friends?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Ca n't you ad- mit that I might not have noticed any impression — and written a letter myself over it — and put that in my pocket when I saw you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Ca n't you locate it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Ca n't you manage somehow — to stay a little longer?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Ca n't you sacri- fice something for them?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you bring yourself to reply to the original question?
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you do better than that here?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you keep the maids from that room until we're through with it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Can you tell me?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud and I were getting up, that man did n't give you some sort of signal — and you did n't return it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud and Mr. Hartwell are the executors, are n't they?
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud around because you're in love with her?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud ask me to pull up stakes?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud gave you the night I met you; and how was it that you did n't report that loss to the office?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud had n't exerted himself, then?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud has much money?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud — more about Ned?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud's correspondence for her?
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud, that's so utterly absurd —""Then why did you come down here?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud?
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cloud?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Come down to earth — how much more do you want?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Come on in and get all fussed — will you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Come up with the truth, now — weren't you slay- ing dragons?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Coming, Pete?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Could n't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Cutting coupons?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Depends on my leaving Bermuda?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Did n't I come out of it just now?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Did n't I give it once?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Did n't I say I was going after him?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did you say a fight?
hvd.hn1kz2	Did you say a waiter?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Do n't I look it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Do n't you admit she's a menace?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Do n't you know why Hollister was so flabby when we went to court after Diederick was hurt?
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you remember?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Do you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Does it you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Does n't it you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Edith and I —""Is she hurt?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ever catch me bluffing?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ever? ” Hollister's negative was colloquially emphatic.
hvd.hn1kz2	For the life of him he could n't help adding,"Are you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	For the love of mud, man, have n't you any feelings?
hvd.hn1kz2	From Ned Ballin?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Get it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Get that?
hvd.hn1kz2	Glad to see you J What are you here for — got a party?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Had Bal- lin told all these people that three days ago Hollister had claimed to be destitute?
hvd.hn1kz2	Had he been too precipitate?
hvd.hn1kz2	Had n't he been authorized to resign under stress?
hvd.hn1kz2	Had n't you saved anything?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Had you heard about that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hartwell?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hartwell?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Have n't I?
hvd.hn1kz2	Have n't I?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Have n't I?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Have n't missed yet, have you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Have we got to shadow Phil, too?"
hvd.hn1kz2	He did n't fly there, did he?
hvd.hn1kz2	He had a brother — do you follow me?
hvd.hn1kz2	He said to the clerk, who was occupied with two or three outgoing messages:"I'm Philip Hollister — anything here for me?"
hvd.hn1kz2	He says you weren't — but were n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	He's got a floor some- where near the Battery, has n't he?
hvd.hn1kz2	Here's where it lives — see?
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister grinned, but made no reply; and Miss Rexford, after a generous pause, said:"This eve- ning — perhaps?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister'?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister'still?
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Hollister?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How about Miss Rex- ford?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How could Mr. Hartwell threaten him?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How could he admit that he was, or deny that he was?
hvd.hn1kz2	How could he explain to Ballin without betraying his trust?
hvd.hn1kz2	How did Hollister get there so quick?
hvd.hn1kz2	How did it get there?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How did you happen to come in the first place?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How is it that Ned is n't with you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How is it that since Monday you've blossomed out as a- what is it?—city correspondent to nobody?
hvd.hn1kz2	How long have you been panhandling?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How many other girls would have remained after that one volley?
hvd.hn1kz2	How sure are you that the cham- bermaid found them?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How was it he got there at all when he was n't in his own room, or down- stairs?
hvd.hn1kz2	How'd you find it out?"
hvd.hn1kz2	How?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I came down to tell you —""You have n't told any one else?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I do n't suppose you'll object to my using your telephone, do you?
hvd.hn1kz2	I met some people who were dining —""Was there a Mr. Hartwell in that party?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I might have just found it, and then I'd be under an obligation to return it to you, would n't I?
hvd.hn1kz2	I suppose you were n't thinking of yourself when you flim- flammed Hollister into a bow- knot right in this same place, were you?
hvd.hn1kz2	I think a liqueur and one more cigar might not be so bad, what?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I think he ought to remem- ber that sort of tip — don't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I want to ask Mr. Hartwell if he usually carries two bill- books?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I wonder if that's it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I wonder why he does n't talk?
hvd.hn1kz2	I —""Well, what in the devil do you want?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I —""Who is it, then?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I'd always thought so much of you —""But now that Miss Rexford's given up Hartwell — well, your uncle's still in danger, is n't he?"
hvd.hn1kz2	I'm a peaceful guy, I am.—You're still plugging in Wall Street?
hvd.hn1kz2	I'm afraid you'll have a hard time finding it, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	If I can prove that to you —?"
hvd.hn1kz2	If I do stay over, will you let me see you often?
hvd.hn1kz2	If he's paying her to keep tabs on the way the game's going?"
hvd.hn1kz2	If you're guess- ing, too, there is n't a great deal of use in — brooding about it, is there?
hvd.hn1kz2	In the German depart- ment?"
hvd.hn1kz2	In the hotel?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is it impertinent to ask who the others are?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is it necessary for the bondsmen to be disinterested, or can they qualify even if they may be involved in the case?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't that right, Phil?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't that so?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't that some stunt?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is n't there something deeper —?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is she?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is there anything about dependency?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is there anything about loneliness?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Is there anything big and compelling about poverty?
hvd.hn1kz2	Is there?"
hvd.hn1kz2	It has a bad clasp — see?
hvd.hn1kz2	It's simmering down, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	It's such a strange thing to ask, but — how long did you plan to stay here?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Just answer me — if you can and will — are you bound up in any enterprise with Jim Hartwell?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Just now, I'm calm in vic- tory — don't you think we'll both save energy if you're calm in defeat?
hvd.hn1kz2	Kirby?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Kiss her?—or slap her wrist and tell her to keep quiet? ” The ghost of a smile hovered at the corners of his mouth.
hvd.hn1kz2	Lady Disdain, are n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	May I see the other things?
hvd.hn1kz2	May.1 bequeath you to the quartet over there for half a second?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Mind if I count it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Mr. Hollister —""What's the difference?
hvd.hn1kz2	Mr. Hollister, when are you sailing for New York?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Ned and Peter are having a fight with Mr. Hartwell?
hvd.hn1kz2	No?
hvd.hn1kz2	Now are you all straight?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now can I have my affidavit?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now if WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 207 Frances got wind of any such stunt, she'd fire Miss Rexford, would n't she?
hvd.hn1kz2	Now since you're so omniscient, what do you think I'm going to say next?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now will you hush up, and let every- thing drift along until I give you the high- sign?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now — is it all settled?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Now — let me see — no, I had on this coat —""What's the matter?
hvd.hn1kz2	Now — where's the damage?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Oh, I forget — you've all shut down, have n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	On that same spot?"
hvd.hn1kz2	One last word — the — the things Ned and Peter told you aren't — they aren't — per- sonal, are they?
hvd.hn1kz2	Or at least keep your mouth shut?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Or did I burgle your house last night and get it there?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Or do you save up all your pep for histrionics?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Park Row?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Phil says he has n't spilled the beans yet! — did n't you, Phil? ” He was seized with a momentary fit akin to ague.
hvd.hn1kz2	Phil — do try to remember!—have you said anything to Frances about this?
hvd.hn1kz2	Quite a fleet, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ready?
hvd.hn1kz2	Ready?
hvd.hn1kz2	Say — how long will your errand take you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Say — way your room upside down?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Say, I ca n't take you down by any chance, can I?
hvd.hn1kz2	Say, Phil — one last thought — have you any idea how that little pin of Frances'got into your room that day?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Say, where can I find Ned to- day?
hvd.hn1kz2	See how quick I can get it out?
hvd.hn1kz2	See you anon?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Seen Ned lately?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Shall we?"
hvd.hn1kz2	She's wishing women had chances like yours — just to travel around and see new places — aren't you, Edith?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Should he cable his resignation, or write in the form of a scathing criticism?
hvd.hn1kz2	So is n't this where you make a graceful exit?"
hvd.hn1kz2	So it would n't be astonishing if he's en- dowed Edith Rexford to boost his game, would it?
hvd.hn1kz2	So much has happened since June.—What are you doing?"
hvd.hn1kz2	So that what was there was n't your property?"
hvd.hn1kz2	So what is it?
hvd.hn1kz2	So you think I have n't any emo- tions?"
hvd.hn1kz2	So you're off that, too?"
hvd.hn1kz2	So you've known him for sev- eral years?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Some of it looks Greek, does n't it? ” Hollister selected a jutting headland, crowned with a thousand tints of green.
hvd.hn1kz2	Something new, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Suppose I do n't choose to en- tertain it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Swallow that whole, will you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Tampered with?
hvd.hn1kz2	Tell me, did you take this trip instead of going west this week?"
hvd.hn1kz2	That I wo n't be running up bills need- lessly?
hvd.hn1kz2	That I'm so ancient?"
hvd.hn1kz2	That yon orb of day seest her, and thou — thee sees her not?"
hvd.hn1kz2	That's abnormal, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kz2	That's your case, is it?
hvd.hn1kz2	The last time — you know damned well you ca n't stop me — are you going to stick by me, or are n't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	The least intimation?
hvd.hn1kz2	The other things — by the way, who lost the ring you said had been identified?"
hvd.hn1kz2	There is n't going to be a race riot, is there?
hvd.hn1kz2	There's nothing to say, is there?
hvd.hn1kz2	They are n't about me?"
hvd.hn1kz2	They're stock phrases, are n't they?"
hvd.hn1kz2	They've improved that condition, have n't they?"
hvd.hn1kz2	This way — that Cloud man that was with us is Ned's uncle on his mother's side — get that?
hvd.hn1kz2	To be sure, we've got one; but would she?
hvd.hn1kz2	Two — and a cigar, or do you prefer cigarettes?
hvd.hn1kz2	Under the circumstances, if you're sure you would n't have objected to me anyway —""For Frances?
hvd.hn1kz2	WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 107"Of course,"he said hurriedly,"of course, if you can prove anything — well, now, can you prove anything?"
hvd.hn1kz2	WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 115"Mr. Kirby, she notified us —""Are you sure she identified it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 267"What is it you want me to say?"
hvd.hn1kz2	WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 307"How do you mean?"
hvd.hn1kz2	WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 39"Did you take part in any branch of organized athletics at college?"
hvd.hn1kz2	WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 41"Of what New York clubs are you a member?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Was Butler still on Massachusetts Avenue when you were in college?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Was he in Hartwell's employ?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was his petty wrangle with Miss Rexford of such vital import?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was it a job?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Was it a valuable ring?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Was it possible that he himself had brought about complications enough to justify a cablegram to Hartwell bearing an imperative summons?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was n't he suited by nature and by training for just this sort of post?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was n't it natural to assume that Diederick knew Hartwell's side of the case?
hvd.hn1kz2	Was n't you, Clar- ence?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well — how are you since we — saw you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well — how does the genealogy work?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, how's everything?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, if you do n't like mine, what's yours?
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, then — you've probably heard of the very sad and shocking death of my part- ner at the Cottage Hospital?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Well, what are they going to do — spend the winter in town?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Went to church last Sunday, did n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	Were n't you in your room?
hvd.hn1kz2	What I want to know is this: How much does Jim Hartwell pay you on this job?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What are you driving at?
hvd.hn1kz2	What are you having?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What brought you down here, Phil?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What complications?
hvd.hn1kz2	What difference does it make?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What do you have to do?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What do you mean by trying to manhandle me?
hvd.hn1kz2	What else do women talk about but shops and'shopping?
hvd.hn1kz2	What had I said?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What have Ned and Peter been up to?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What have you lost?
hvd.hn1kz2	What hold can he possibly have on them?
hvd.hn1kz2	What if it, Mr. Hol- lister?
hvd.hn1kz2	What in Sam Hill have 7 got to do with it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What irks thee?
hvd.hn1kz2	What is this — a dynamite plot?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What is your age?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What makes you believe that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What other alternatives were there?
hvd.hn1kz2	What other sources of fear are there?
hvd.hn1kz2	What was her purpose?
hvd.hn1kz2	What was the defeasance clause in his contract?
hvd.hn1kz2	What was the use?
hvd.hn1kz2	What we want to know is this — can you give any plausible reason for the pin we dis- covered on the floor of your room this morning?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's all this about a human life?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's behind it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's biting you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's got into.you?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's next?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's next?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's that N. N. Corporation — plain bunk?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's the basis of it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's the idea?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's this whole row about?
hvd.hn1kz2	What's your objection?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's your price?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What's your suggestion?"
hvd.hn1kz2	What? ” Ferguson got between Hollister and the door.
hvd.hn1kz2	When did you have this change of heart, Miss Rexford? ” Her alertness was suddenly doubled.
hvd.hn1kz2	When was the other time?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where do you think you stand in the question of larceny?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where does that leave you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where was Diederick — what part of the floor?
hvd.hn1kz2	Where were you, Phil?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where'd she come from?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where'd you come from?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where'd you get it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Where's your land- ing?
hvd.hn1kz2	Which would please you bet- ter: San Francisco, or Seattle, or Los Angeles, or Vancouver?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Who are these people?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who are they?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who did it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who in thunder do you think you are?
hvd.hn1kz2	Who is he, and what is he?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Who's been paying my expenses — and why?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Whose is it?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why do n't you be a bit modest — and begin with a dime?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Why do n't you find a job?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Why do n't you prong in?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Why does n't he?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why had she remained?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why in thunder should that pot- bellied lawyer be afraid of me?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Why not?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why should I?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Why so ungracious, Mr. Hol- lister?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why, Mr. Hollister, what can there be?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why?
hvd.hn1kz2	Why?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Will you have a cigar?
hvd.hn1kz2	Will you let that drop, too, unless Jim brings it up?
hvd.hn1kz2	With a magnet?
hvd.hn1kz2	Wo n't you just have him sent up here to make an affidavit?
hvd.hn1kz2	Wo n't you let me help you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Would Hollister drink a glass of sherry with him, and forget the past?
hvd.hn1kz2	Would any- body have wanted anything you've got?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Would n't Peter say anything?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Would you want to make a friendly little wager on it?"
hvd.hn1kz2	Would you — as a friend of Ned Ballin's — be interested in a proposition coming from me — a friend of Ned Ballin's?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You admit that you left no money or jewelry there?
hvd.hn1kz2	You dined here last night with several people, did n't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You do n't mean that it's — well, WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED 231 what on earth do you mean?
hvd.hn1kz2	You do n't think I care a plugged nickel about her, do you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You found that pin — in your room?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You get your mail here, do n't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You had n't any positive identification, had you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You have n't a date so soon, have you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You have n't done that?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You have n't even pretended to have a warrant, have you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You have, though?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You knew my old 68 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED friend, Fingerblatt, I dare say — he must have been about your time, was n't he?
hvd.hn1kz2	You know what a frame- up is?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You realize that, do n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You roomed together — where did you say?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You wo n't change your mind and have one?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You would n't be capricious, would you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You —"338 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED"Will you promise — to keep your mouth shut?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You'll do that, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You're going to Ber- muda, too, are you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You're not engaged to him?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You're piling up evidence on him until you can make a kill- ing?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You're probably talking shop, are n't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You've been here before?"
hvd.hn1kz2	You've got a fool notion that she's a good woman, have n't you?
hvd.hn1kz2	You've got my idea, have n't you?"
hvd.hn1kz2	said Hollister warmly,"what is it to you how I dispose of my personal correspond- ence?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ Am I precipitate?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ At any rate, ” he said, “ Diederick saved me from 263 264 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED a mighty ticklish explanation, did n't he?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ I ’m telling you that I made a mistake. ” “ About me? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1kz2	“ I ’ve made several bad mistakes — isn't it some- thing for me to confess to you? ” “ I appreciate it, ” said Hollister.
hvd.hn1kz2	“ Now, Mr. Hollister — are you ready to tell us where this sudden prosperity of yours came from?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ Remember what Tennyson wrote?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ We're opposite Bailey's Bay — doesn't it seem to you that we're leaving it much too fast?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ Well — the sky's clearing, is n't it? ” One glance at the spotless heavens warned Mrs.
hvd.hn1kz2	“ Well, damn it, ” he said bitterly, “ in a pinch like that — what's a man going to do?
hvd.hn1kz2	“ You have n't any statement to make to us? ” “ No! ” The Scot turned to his young associate.
hvd.hwjsnm	Paralysis. ” “ Attributable to any sudden mental excite- ment or anything of that nature? hvd.hwjsnm That was merely a supposititious case. ” “ Have you hinted anything of this to Prue? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Then I depend on your honor not to.
hvd.hwjsnm	What about, uncle? ” “ About money matters chiefly. ” “ If it was all about money,said Prudence, “ I have no business to ask questions."
hvd.hwjsnm	- You do n't really believe that that man was the fel- low Nevins? ” “ I do, assuredly.
hvd.hwjsnm	- did she love him?"
hvd.hwjsnm	- help l- liking John Dent, but I need n't have been a fierce wolf about it, need I? ”.
hvd.hwjsnm	-- you're not crying? ” “ Yes, I am,"said Prudence, looking up through two tears which had been troubling her some time.
hvd.hwjsnm	--- “ Mortifying, is n't it? ” “ To be sure it is."
hvd.hwjsnm	135 Prudence put her lips down to the key- hole and called, “ Parson Wibird!- it's Prue, wo n't you speak to me? ”.
hvd.hwjsnm	145 “ Yes; we have just finished the examina- tion. ” “ Well?"
hvd.hwjsnm	225 whose plans were still with loose ends?
hvd.hwjsnm	291 291 “ Before breakfast?
hvd.hwjsnm	299 1 Mr. R fallen ty?
hvd.hwjsnm	6 Precisely. ” 5 And then what did he say?"
hvd.hwjsnm	6 What can have happened? ” she said hur- riedly.
hvd.hwjsnm	6 Where is this Colonel Todhunter? ” he exclaimed, starting to his feet.
hvd.hwjsnm	66 What is it?
hvd.hwjsnm	66 Where is Cousin John? ” at length asked Prudence, setting the almonds and raisins nearer to Mr. Dent.
hvd.hwjsnm	66 Will he return to tea? ” ventured Pru- dence, after a pause.
hvd.hwjsnm	And suppose he had not?
hvd.hwjsnm	Are you angry? ” “ N-0, not very, ” said Prudence, a little flur- ried.
hvd.hwjsnm	Are you working through? ” he asked, turning to the clerk."
hvd.hwjsnm	But it is not clear to me what can be done about it. ” “ Can not some one be sent to find him?
hvd.hwjsnm	But what could possess him to come to me with such a story?
hvd.hwjsnm	Can you understand how maddening it was?
hvd.hwjsnm	Did he tell you, Prue? ” 6 Yes, he told me,"said Prudence, slowly."
hvd.hwjsnm	Do you know what I shall do when I am con- vinced you have entirely ceased to care for me?
hvd.hwjsnm	Do you suppose a week passes by when the woman whose husband disappeared mysteriously ten years ago does not think of him?
hvd.hwjsnm	Had Dillingham spoken at last, and if so, how had Prue taken it?

hvd.hwjsnm	Has there been an inquest?"
hvd.hwjsnm	Have n't I thought of it every day for two years, fallen asleep thinking of it every night, dreamed of it a thousand times?
hvd.hwjsnm	Have you quarrelled with him?"
hvd.hwjsnm	He made no doubt but the intriguing old woman — for what was he but an old woman?
hvd.hwjsnm	He must be there. ” “ Is he subject to vertigo, ever? ” 6 Dunno, ” said Salome, doubtfully.
hvd.hwjsnm	He re- fused my advice and assistance point- blank. ” “ Then you quarrelled? ” “ Yes, I suppose we quarrelled.
hvd.hwjsnm	He told you I was dead?
hvd.hwjsnm	He would go in a second if it was suggested; but Twombly has just secured a good situation in Chicago,- did n't I mention it to you?
hvd.hwjsnm	He — he dines in town. ” “ At the Blydenburghs'? ”.
hvd.hwjsnm	How can I tell her? ” “ Is it necessary to inform her immediately? ” asked Mr. Dillingham, thoughtfully.
hvd.hwjsnm	How can I tell her? ” “ Is it necessary to inform her immediately? ” asked Mr. Dillingham, thoughtfully.
hvd.hwjsnm	How else shall we explain the admiration which we have many a time seen lavished on very inferior young men?
hvd.hwjsnm	How long will it last?
hvd.hwjsnm	How many girls have you fallen in love with before now? ”.
hvd.hwjsnm	How neatly Nature stows it away, con- found her! ” “ But there is gold?
hvd.hwjsnm	How should I know? ” replied Mr. Dent, crisply.
hvd.hwjsnm	I arranged all that. ”"0, you arranged all that? ” 66 Yes."
hvd.hwjsnm	If he had been married?
hvd.hwjsnm	It is like a dream, is n't it? ” murmured Prue to herself, for at the instant she had for- gotten the presence of her companion.
hvd.hwjsnm	It was so unfair to Dillingham; but what could he, Mr. Dent, do?
hvd.hwjsnm	J. D. “ Are you convinced now? ” whispered John Dent, having with breathless interest read these documents over his uncle's shoulder.
hvd.hwjsnm	Joseph Twombly, for instance? ”.
hvd.hwjsnm	May I try? ” PRUDENCE PALFREY.
hvd.hwjsnm	Now that I have seen you, there is nothing to de- tain us. ” “ Us?
hvd.hwjsnm	Perhaps I shall do something in the war; who knows?
hvd.hwjsnm	Setting you en- tirely aside, what could Jack do with a wife?
hvd.hwjsnm	Should he treat the affair lightly or seriously?
hvd.hwjsnm	That?
hvd.hwjsnm	The colonel of the 10th Illinois is what's his name?
hvd.hwjsnm	Unheroically?
hvd.hwjsnm	Wants to see me?
hvd.hwjsnm	Was it worth while to tempt fortune further?
hvd.hwjsnm	Was she to shut herself up forever like a nun?
hvd.hwjsnm	Well, I thought it rather absurd myself. ” “ That anybody should love me? ” said Prue, slyly.
hvd.hwjsnm	What could I do but go to him?"
hvd.hwjsnm	What could it be?
hvd.hwjsnm	What had I been doing all the rest of the time?
hvd.hwjsnm	What if she were to meet him on the bridge, or run against him suddenly at a street corner?
hvd.hwjsnm	What is it now? ” asked Mr. Dent, ner- vously.
hvd.hwjsnm	What might not happen to them, among the desper- ate white men and lawless savages, out there in the Territory?
hvd.hwjsnm	What on earth have you been doing? ” “ Something quite unusual, Joseph, — I've been thinking. ” 6 Homesick, eh? ” said Nevins.
hvd.hwjsnm	What on earth have you been doing? ” “ Something quite unusual, Joseph, — I've been thinking. ” 6 Homesick, eh? ” said Nevins.
hvd.hwjsnm	What prevents me from be- ing your friend?
hvd.hwjsnm	What sort of man was that little boy whom she had lost so long ago in the misty fairyland of babyhood?
hvd.hwjsnm	What was the name of that banking firm at Salt Lake City which Jack mentioned in his letter?
hvd.hwjsnm	What was there to prevent her loving him and telling him so?
hvd.hwjsnm	What would Prue say?
hvd.hwjsnm	What — what is this doing here? ” he cried, with sudden fury.
hvd.hwjsnm	Where is he? ” asked the girl,.
hvd.hwjsnm	Where was Mr. Dillingham?
hvd.hwjsnm	Who is Colonel Todhunter, any way? ” Mr. Dent stared at him.
hvd.hwjsnm	Who was Darwin?
hvd.hwjsnm	Why could she not do that now?
hvd.hwjsnm	Why in thunder did n't he tell me where to write him?
hvd.hwjsnm	Would his conceit lead him to sup- pose she was searching for him, or even wished to meet him?
hvd.hwjsnm	You continue, I suppose, to have an annual brother or sister?
hvd.hwjsnm	do n't be so violent! ” “ Where is he, I say? ” “ How can I tell?

hvd.hwjsnm	suppose he had decided to live there?
hvd.hwjsnm	to be the tenor of her reply to Mr. Dillingham, why had she not spoken the words that even- ing in the fort?
hvd.hwjsnm	was it likely that two such golden windfalls would happen to the same mortal?
hvd.hwjsnm	what else could I do?"
hvd.hwjsnm	what's this?
hvd.hwjsnm	what's this? ”'cried Parson Hawkins, appearing suddenly in the doorway with one finger shut in a vast folio, and his PRUDENCE PALFREY.
hvd.hwjsnm	wonder what has kept me, and I have not seen the parson yet. ” “ I suppose I may write to you? ” said John Dent.
hvd.hwjsnm	you do n't go alone, then? ” “ No; Joe Twombly is going with me; you know him, the deacon's son.
hvd.hwjsnm	you do n't know the Colonel?
hvd.hwjsnm	« The Goldstones?
hvd.hwjsnm	« What will Prue say? ” was a question he put to himself a dozen times without eliciting a satisfactory re- ply.
hvd.hwjsnm	— what took the life out of me more than the poverty and the treachery and the rest?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ And Prue loves you? ” he gasped.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ And in the mean time Dillingham will con- tinue his visits here just the same?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ And so the man really was an impostor? ” “ Of course he was.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ And there is n't the least shadow of truth in it, Prue?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Are we never going to be friends again? ” she said, laying her hand lightly on his arm.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Are you angry with me, too? ” “ I am very angry with you.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Are you going to town, uncle? ” inquired John Dent, looking up.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Are you never going to like me any more?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ But how did it end? ” “ It ended by my forbidding him to come to the house."
hvd.hwjsnm	“ But suppose I have married auld Robin Gray'in the mean time? ” she added slyly.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ But wo n't it be a little awkward for every- body? ”"I suppose so,"said Prudence, looking wretched as she thought it over.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Can not a sister cry if she wants to? ” “ If you are my sister – ” And John Dent hesitated.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Colonel Todhunter?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Cut off — your head?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Did I understand you to say you were from South Carolina? ” asked Mr. Dillingham, break- ing through the thin ice of his reserve.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Do n't stare at me in sech a way, dear; I'm as nervous as nuthin'. ” “ Are you sure he is there? ” “ Sartin.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Go away from me? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Gone?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ He?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ How long since?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ I did n't believe a word he said; but then he declared you were dead. ” “ Colonel Todhunter did?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ I did n't say that, sir. ” “ What in the devil did you say, then? ” “ I said I loved her.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ I did n't suppose it would meet with your approval, sir. ” “ My approval?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Is n't that rather singular? ” said Pru- dence, without ruffling a feather.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ It was obstinacy, then? ”.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Locked himself in? ” “ Yes, an'there he's ben ever sence them plaguey deacons went away, more'n two hours."
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Mr. Dent, — Mr. Ralph Dent? ” inquired this personage.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ My nephew, Colonel Todhunter?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Not coming back at all, and sent good- by to me? ” said Prudence to herself.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Of South Carolina? ” repeated Mr. Dent, placing a chair at the colonel's disposal.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Suppose Tileston& Co. should fail? ” “ That is true, again, ” observed Nevins.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Then I suppose the fatter the salary is the deeper the interest they take in their work?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Then it was not money chiefly?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Uncle Ralph, was Prue engaged to that man?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Well? ” said his nephew.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Well? ” “ Well?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Well? ” “ Well?
hvd.hwjsnm	“ What are you trying to do? ” “ I must see this man Dillingham, Uncle Ralph. ” “ Certainly, so you shall see Dillingham.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ What did you say to him? ” I “ Almost what I am saying to you."
hvd.hwjsnm	“ What is that, Jack?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ What made you? ” asked her guardian, thoughtfully.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ What shall we do? ” 6 We must break in the door, ” said Pru- dence under her breath.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Who is this? ” he asked quickly; and he pointed a quivering finger at the face."
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Why in the deuce does n't he call her Prue, like everybody else?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Why, Prue, what is the matter? ” 6.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Will you allow me to look at them a mo- ment?"
hvd.hwjsnm	“ Would it be proper for me to go, uncle? ” asked Prudence, standing with drooped eyelids by Mr. Dent's lounge.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ You might have waited a long time if I had suspected it. ” “ And you would n't have come? ” PRUDENCE PALFREY.
hvd.hwjsnm	“ You think I am crazy? ” said the young man, reading his uncle's open countenance as if it were a book.
hvd.hwk6lu	A hanger- on of Hade's, eh? hvd.hwk6lu A job? ” repeated Milo; then, suspiciously:"Why in this neighborhood, rather than any other?
hvd.hwk6lu	A job? ” repeated Milo; then, suspiciously:Why in this neighborhood, rather than any other?
hvd.hwk6lu	A secret orange- grove, eh? ” he gasped, under his breath. hvd.hwk6lu A? ”"As a bodyguard, ” repeated Gavin, not seeming to note the change in his host.
hvd.hwk6lu	And you're just as sure of Rodney Hade's noble uprightness as of your broth- er's? ”I'm not defending Rodney Hade,"said Claire.
hvd.hwk6lu	Are there? ” interpolated Brice. hvd.hwk6lu Are you better?"
hvd.hwk6lu	As a — a what? ” snapped Milo, in sharp suspicion; the geniality wiped from face and voice with ludicrous suddenness. hvd.hwk6lu Brice?
hvd.hwk6lu	Did Mr. Brice find him? ” interposed Claire. hvd.hwk6lu Did you find him?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Do you know its value?
hvd.hwk6lu	Do you mean, set him free? hvd.hwk6lu Feeling better? ” queried Milo.
hvd.hwk6lu	Have n't I met you, somewhere? ” she broke in, studying his dim- seen face more intently and at closer range. hvd.hwk6lu His snakes?"
hvd.hwk6lu	How about it?
hvd.hwk6lu	How did you get in here? ” bellowed Milo, ad- vancing threateningly on the youth, and swinging aloft one of his hamlike fists. hvd.hwk6lu How did you know?"
hvd.hwk6lu	I mean, where did I run across you, before last night?
hvd.hwk6lu	I wonder if you know its history? hvd.hwk6lu Is there so much difference between the two? ” he asked, innocently.
hvd.hwk6lu	Oh, Cæsar?'' hvd.hwk6lu Perhaps the wish was father to the thought? ” he hinted, with an indulgent twinkle in his perpetual smile.
hvd.hwk6lu	Red Cross? ” asked Brice, as she worked. hvd.hwk6lu So that's Simon Cameron?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Well, ” he said, and his black eyes strayed as if by accident to Claire's face, “ our heroic friend seems to have cracked under the strain, eh? hvd.hwk6lu Well?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Well?
hvd.hwk6lu	What the blazes else could I do?
hvd.hwk6lu	What then? hvd.hwk6lu What — what was it?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Who are you? hvd.hwk6lu Who the blue blazes are you? ” countered the bare- foot man, his eyes running contemptuously over the shabby and slight- built figure.
hvd.hwk6lu	Whose dog is that? ” he demanded, striding for- ward, from the shade; and approaching the struggling pair. hvd.hwk6lu Why do you say that?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Yet you were on your way back toward Miami, when Bobby overtook you? hvd.hwk6lu You're staying at the Royal Palm, then? ”"Near it, ” corrected Brice.
hvd.hwk6lu	You're sure?
hvd.hwk6lu	... Get that queer odor, and that flapping sound over to the left?
hvd.hwk6lu	:"By the way, do you remember that conch, Davy, over at Roustabout Key?
hvd.hwk6lu	A week?"
hvd.hwk6lu	And they figured Mr. Standish and Mr. Hade would both be here, to- night? ”"Most nights t'other one comes,"said the boy.
hvd.hwk6lu	And wo n't you please acquit me of knowing anything of it?
hvd.hwk6lu	And yet you believe in me enough to'"You will let me?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Another is, how this- Brice, did you say his name is?-happened to be Johnny- on- the- spot when the other chap tried to knife me.
hvd.hwk6lu	Are n't you ashamed?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Are they all right?
hvd.hwk6lu	Are you a neighbor of ours? ”"Not yet,"answered Gavin, with almost exaggerated simplicity.
hvd.hwk6lu	At first glance, it looks like an impasse, does n't it?
hvd.hwk6lu	Been trying to stop the East Coast Flyer?
hvd.hwk6lu	But I-"“ What in the world are you talking about?"
hvd.hwk6lu	But if you'll let me ask, sir- does Hade know?
hvd.hwk6lu	But their absence need n't bother us, overmuch. ”"What do you mean?"
hvd.hwk6lu	But where you got the idea"“ How many of them are there?
hvd.hwk6lu	But- oh, Milo""Brice?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Can you trust them?
hvd.hwk6lu	Did I really see it?
hvd.hwk6lu	Did he think for a minute he could get away with it;—and with the dog?
hvd.hwk6lu	Did n't you know I would?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Do n't you know I'm not your master?
hvd.hwk6lu	Do n't you, Bobby? ” THE MAN IN THE DARK 57 He was petting the frisking collie as he talked.
hvd.hwk6lu	Do you really mean you have to sleep out of doors and that you have no money?
hvd.hwk6lu	Does he suspicion you?
hvd.hwk6lu	Does n't it, dear girl? ” For answer, Claire caught her brother's big hand in both of hers, and raised it to her lips.
hvd.hwk6lu	D’you mean that chap?
hvd.hwk6lu	Have you a flashlight?"
hvd.hwk6lu	He sold it for$ 3,600. ”"Since you know so much about the 1804 dollar,"went on Milo, catechizingly, “ perhaps you know why it is so rare?
hvd.hwk6lu	He""A Cæsar?"
hvd.hwk6lu	He""Have you any idea who could have tried to kill you?"
hvd.hwk6lu	He""How did you know? ” she asked, surprised.
hvd.hwk6lu	Here's the chap you'd ordered to be cruis- ing in the offing as my escort, eh? ” as the barefoot roustabout reached the porch.
hvd.hwk6lu	Hey, Roke? ” Roke had ceased nursing his wrist and had listened TRAPS AND TRAPPER 131 with sheepish amusement to his employer's guying.
hvd.hwk6lu	Hey?
hvd.hwk6lu	How about it?
hvd.hwk6lu	How about it?"
hvd.hwk6lu	How can you?
hvd.hwk6lu	How d'you s'pose?
hvd.hwk6lu	How did he chance to be lying here; his head in some sobbing woman's lap?
hvd.hwk6lu	How did they find the tunnel? ” he continued, to the prisoner.
hvd.hwk6lu	How much time will you give me to think it over and decide?
hvd.hwk6lu	I hope I'm not late for breakfast?"
hvd.hwk6lu	I mean, of course, before Standish had it recut and jacked up and bridged, and all that?
hvd.hwk6lu	I mean, who helps him bring the stuff here?
hvd.hwk6lu	I've got to crawl about, on all fours, 196 BLACK CÆSAR ’S CLAN much toward me as I felt toward those snakes of Hade's, this afternoon?
hvd.hwk6lu	I've reason to be proud of myself;—haven't I? ”"Who are you?"
hvd.hwk6lu	I've reason to be proud of myself;—haven't I? ”"Who are you?"
hvd.hwk6lu	In Florida?
hvd.hwk6lu	In any case, what does it matter?
hvd.hwk6lu	Is it forbidden to fiddle?
hvd.hwk6lu	Is n't it beautiful?
hvd.hwk6lu	Is n't that true, Simon?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Is there any law against that?
hvd.hwk6lu	It looks as if I had let myself in for a wakeful time, down here, does n't it?
hvd.hwk6lu	It was nice of him, was n't it?
hvd.hwk6lu	It was no part of his spy work to""Spy work?"
hvd.hwk6lu	It""But how in the world did Roke? ” “ He was with the crew.
hvd.hwk6lu	Jarring as was the result upon Brice, it seemed even THE GHOST TREE 275 Miss Standish, will you please go somewhere else for five minutes?
hvd.hwk6lu	Laying it on the sand, he went on::"How does this strike you as a sporting offer?
hvd.hwk6lu	May I play, or?"
hvd.hwk6lu	May I trouble you to?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Might n't it be better to think that over, a min- ute or so; before announcing your virtuous intent?
hvd.hwk6lu	Now, finishing his task, he demanded:"Your servants?
hvd.hwk6lu	Now, where's this storehouse prison of mine?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Now, wo n't I be an invaluable aide to your brother, if I can remember everything else, as easily?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Only a small picked 240 BLACK CÆSAR ’S CLAN Government, and that Uncle Sam means to have them back?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Or did you just get into an argument with one of the channel dredges?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Or perhaps you did n't add a study of American history to your numismatics? ”.
hvd.hwk6lu	Please believe that, wo n't you?"
hvd.hwk6lu	STRANGER FROM NOWHERE 99"Well?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Scarce had the door slammed, when he heard, from below, Rodney Hade's voice raised in the sharp question: “ What does this mean?
hvd.hwk6lu	See that russet patch on one side of it?
hvd.hwk6lu	Seen me before, has he?
hvd.hwk6lu	So I “ Why did you want a job with me?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Suppose we throw him out?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Suppose you take a walk over the place?
hvd.hwk6lu	That all, Davy?"
hvd.hwk6lu	The bags are still there, are n't they?
hvd.hwk6lu	Then the Northern market for them-"Avocadoes? ” he repeated, curiously.
hvd.hwk6lu	Then we were to have our settlement, after it was melted down and sold. ” “ Who works with him?
hvd.hwk6lu	Then, shamefacedly, he mum- bled:"I — I hope I was n't baby enough to- to keel over, Mr. Standish? ”"That's all right,"answered Milo.
hvd.hwk6lu	Then-"You're safe?
hvd.hwk6lu	They knew I'd had plenty of experience in this region. ”"Here?
hvd.hwk6lu	They —""The Cæsars?"
hvd.hwk6lu	They"By the way,"asked Gavin,"when your Pop came back from finding the tunnel, last night, was he in pretty bad shape?
hvd.hwk6lu	They're really little better than conchs; though they fight any one who calls them conchs. ”"But what?
hvd.hwk6lu	Turning to the glumly scowling youth, he resumed: “ How many of them are there in this merry little midnight murder party?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Want it?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Want to go see?
hvd.hwk6lu	Was he still in the hell of the Flanders trenches?
hvd.hwk6lu	Was he that soldier?
hvd.hwk6lu	Was he?".
hvd.hwk6lu	We did n't miss him till we How did you happen to find him?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Well — there's nothing mysterious or especially discreditable in that, is there?
hvd.hwk6lu	Were you walking for fun and exercise; or are you bound for any especial place?"
hvd.hwk6lu	What Will People Say?
hvd.hwk6lu	What are those queer trees? ” he asked, shifting the dangerous subject.
hvd.hwk6lu	What are you? ”"I'm Gavin Brice, ” he said.
hvd.hwk6lu	What can a girl, with eyes like hers, be doing in a crowd like this?
hvd.hwk6lu	What chance?"
hvd.hwk6lu	What is it?"
hvd.hwk6lu	What on earth made you follow me?
hvd.hwk6lu	What sort of bungling novice am I, anyhow, for work like this?"
hvd.hwk6lu	What sort of cur do you think I am, to let you go like this; after all you've done for me, to- night?
hvd.hwk6lu	What's the World Coming To?
hvd.hwk6lu	Where did I see you? ” “ If you ca n't remember, ” countered Gavin,"you can hardly expect me to.
hvd.hwk6lu	Where did you blow in from?
hvd.hwk6lu	Where did you ever pick up such an arrant little poltroon?
hvd.hwk6lu	Where was he?
hvd.hwk6lu	Where's that light you're going to strike?
hvd.hwk6lu	Where's the crime in that?
hvd.hwk6lu	Who's Brice?
hvd.hwk6lu	Who, besides you, I mean? ” ·"Why, his yacht- crew,"said Milo.
hvd.hwk6lu	Whose dog is that?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Why did n't you come by way of the tunnel, like the other Cæsars? ”.
hvd.hwk6lu	Why do you ask? ” By way of reply, Gavin crossed the hall in two silent strides; his muscles tensed and his head lowered.
hvd.hwk6lu	Will you listen?"
hvd.hwk6lu	Win- ner to take both dog and watch?
hvd.hwk6lu	Wo n't you please let me- let me lend you enough money to keep you going, till you get a good job?
hvd.hwk6lu	Wo n't you please try not to- to think too hardly of my brother?
hvd.hwk6lu	Would you care to come along? ”.
hvd.hwk6lu	Yes?
hvd.hwk6lu	Yet you""What are you talking about? ” he demanded, bewil- dered.
hvd.hwk6lu	You have no idea, either of you?"
hvd.hwk6lu	You'll- you'll give him work, here, wo n't you, please? ”"We'll talk about that, afterward, ” he said, un- graciously.
hvd.hwk6lu	You're not harmed?"
hvd.hwk6lu	You've dared to?
hvd.hwk6lu	hailed Milo, genially; then, in amaze,"what in thunder have you been doing to yourself?

hvd.hwk6lu	she whispered, tremblingly, 194 BLACK CÆSAR ’S CLAN"What was it?
hvd.hwk6lu	you know he told me? ” he demanded in sudden angry bewilderment.
hvd.hwk6lu	“ But what?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ Devil, is that true?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ Do they sell it, or claim salvage on it, or?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ Do you know what that is?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ First of all:-how did you get in here? ” The boy gulped.
hvd.hwk6lu	“ He saved my life, did n't he?
hvd.hwk6lu	“ Is this the way you keep a lookout for the signals?
hvd.hwk6lu	“ No use in asking you to play my accompaniments, Claire? ” asked Hade, in pathetic attempt at gayety as he walked to the hallway door.
hvd.hwk6lu	“ No?
hvd.hwk6lu	“ That, at least, sounds probable, does n't it? ”.
hvd.hwk6lu	“ That?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ Throw him out?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ What is it?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ What's happened?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ What?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ Will you speak up?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ You know something about numismatics, then? ”"Just a little,"modestly admitted Brice.
hvd.hwk6lu	“ You're-you're sure- dead sure you're right? ”"Sure?"
hvd.hwk6lu	“ You're-you're sure- dead sure you're right? ”"Sure?"

hvd.hwpe2n	Do you know who that is? ” he asked me in a hushed voice. hvd.hwpe2n Fight? ” said Billy, wondering.
hvd.hwpe2n	Hands up, I say?
hvd.hwpe2n	Held up?
hvd.hwpe2n	Roaring Dick, eh? hvd.hwpe2n Then you are on a mission? ” “ Yes. ” “ Is it important? ” “ Yes.".
hvd.hwpe2n	Then you are on a mission? ” “ Yes. ” “ Is it important? ” “ Yes..

hvd.hwpe2n	Why do n't you ever look at me?
hvd.hwpe2n	Ye have finished with this skidway? ” asked the foreman in soft cat- tones. hvd.hwpe2n 118 STORIES OF THE WILD LIFE “ What did Alfred say?
hvd.hwpe2n	192 STORIES OF THE WILD LIFE “ What's the row anyway? ” he inquired, with pardonable curiosity.
hvd.hwpe2n	246 THE GIRL IN RED 247 “ What's the matter with you?"
hvd.hwpe2n	54 BLAZED TRAIL STORIES “ Why?"
hvd.hwpe2n	Am I your long- lost friend? ” The tone of the voice matched accurately the attitude of the man, and that was quite non- com- mittal.
hvd.hwpe2n	And I do n't care a bit, and I believe you were right, after all. ” “ Right about what? ” he begged, getting more and more bewildered.
hvd.hwpe2n	And do you know what he said to me just now, me?
hvd.hwpe2n	And for her, these years?
hvd.hwpe2n	Are you glad? ” “ Are you? ” “ Yes, I believe I am.
hvd.hwpe2n	Are you glad? ” “ Are you? ” “ Yes, I believe I am.

hvd.hwpe2n	But when?

hvd.hwpe2n	Then, when he had puffed a few moments in quiet content, he inquired: “ How did you come to get lost? ” She told him.
hvd.hwpe2n	They could not fleece him again in precisely the way they had done so before; but how could he guess at the tricks they had in re- serve?
hvd.hwpe2n	They'd have a fit. ” “ Who'd have a fit?

hvd.hwpe2n	“ An'how are we goin'to do it? ” Alfred paused in the act of blowing a cloud.
hvd.hwpe2n	“ Anything new? ” queried Billy.
hvd.hwpe2n	“ Are you always in the woods? ” she inquired.
hvd.hwpe2n	“ But do n't you think we ought to start back now?

hvd.hnp3rm	On whom?
hvd.hnp3rm	To be sure,I replied, with a chuckle, “ you love to spend money, you always did. ”"For what else should I want it?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What do you mean by a mésalliance? ” drawled Lavaur, consuming more muffin. hvd.hnp3rm Who?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Why does your aunt insist on taking his side?
hvd.hnp3rm	Why tonight? ” I asked, sinking into a chair;.
hvd.hnp3rm	101 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE As we approached Dover she asked me what I intended to do?
hvd.hnp3rm	116 THE WOMAN WITH THE RED HAT Who are you tracing now?
hvd.hnp3rm	151 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE “ Is there any absolute proof? ”.
hvd.hnp3rm	155 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE"Ah, then you are sure that Dr. Lloyd was murdered? ” I remarked quickly.
hvd.hnp3rm	215 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE “ Well?
hvd.hnp3rm	245 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE “ I appreciate your embarrassment, Mrs. Erckmann,"I said, “ but does Miss Hol- land regret her arrangement?
hvd.hnp3rm	47 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE “ It's old Hez Portman, ” she said with a queer little laugh, “ do n't you know?
hvd.hnp3rm	65 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE “ You had been to see him before? ” I asked carelessly.
hvd.hnp3rm	66 And wherefore? ” I asked, mildly sur- prised.
hvd.hnp3rm	94 ON THE BOAT “ I shall tell you, ” she said, “ ca n't you see the plain inference?
hvd.hnp3rm	Are you authorized to speak for her?".
hvd.hnp3rm	Are you to be at liberty tonight? ”.
hvd.hnp3rm	As if we could help it?
hvd.hnp3rm	Besides, she is well worth seeing. ” “ Do I not know? ” he replied, with a shrug, but he followed me to the elevator.
hvd.hnp3rm	Besides, what use is it, John?
hvd.hnp3rm	But do n't be afraid of too long a suit,"I added; “ I think we shall find a way. ” “ Has anything been discovered?"
hvd.hnp3rm	But do n't you find the atmos- phere of Paris very deteriorating? ” He gave me a shrewd look as if he sus- pected me of a concealed gibe.
hvd.hnp3rm	But how could a mur- der be committed thus?
hvd.hnp3rm	But, supposing that the murderer was concealed in the room, how did he, or she, get out?
hvd.hnp3rm	Buyse's?
hvd.hnp3rm	Buyse?"
hvd.hnp3rm	By the way, Brinton, can you go with me at once?
hvd.hnp3rm	By the way, I have n't told you that I have succeeded in leasing Lloyd's house, but I had to fight for it, and who do you suppose wanted it?"
hvd.hnp3rm	By the way, John, are you married?
hvd.hnp3rm	Ca n't we see the notes about Uncle Lloyd's will? ” she asked softly, blushing a little as she met my eyes.
hvd.hnp3rm	Ca n't you get her away, Brinton? ”"I suppose I could,"I assented, “ but the will must be seen to and I am neces- sary."
hvd.hnp3rm	Ca n't you trust me? ” She blushed softly and held out her hand.
hvd.hnp3rm	Can it be true? ” The old man eyed her with interest; her pretty face, her furbelows and ruffles, her blue toque and the violets at her throat.
hvd.hnp3rm	Can my uncle be dead?
hvd.hnp3rm	Can you give him a mes- sage?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Can you manage to see her?
hvd.hnp3rm	Can you tell me at what time? ” “ About half past nine in the morning, sir, he had just finished breakfast.
hvd.hnp3rm	Can you wait for me?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Could I act for Anice?
hvd.hnp3rm	Did he think?
hvd.hnp3rm	Did the court let you off with a little alimony?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Do n't you recognize that packet? ” I looked at it more closely.
hvd.hnp3rm	Do n't you see him?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Do n't you think I know bluff when I see it? ” I shrugged my shoulders.
hvd.hnp3rm	Do you know her?".
hvd.hnp3rm	Do you remember old Widow Haskins?
hvd.hnp3rm	Do you think I like running like a crim- inal?
hvd.hnp3rm	Do you think I'm blind?
hvd.hnp3rm	Erckmann,"I said gravely, “ have you seen Mr. Schenck?
hvd.hnp3rm	Every time I came here to see poor Dr. Lloyd — I was followed. ” “ Indeed, by whom?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Has some one stolen the true will? ” I did not reply.
hvd.hnp3rm	Have n't the heirs laid any claim to'em?
hvd.hnp3rm	Have n't you come here to fling de- fiance at us? ” I asked."
hvd.hnp3rm	He would not have done such a thing in haste. ”"Is it possible that he mistook it for a medicine? ” I interposed."
hvd.hnp3rm	Here was a new development; what was the key to Portman's threats and his interference?
hvd.hnp3rm	How about the divorce?
hvd.hnp3rm	How did you find it, Delcasse? ” The detective smiled.
hvd.hnp3rm	How was the will changed?
hvd.hnp3rm	I began to wonder who had lent the money for this trip; to whom she was in- 166 ANICE debted — or rather to whom her aunt was indebted?
hvd.hnp3rm	I could n't have told you any plainer how I felt, if I tried — and you persist in holding on to this case?
hvd.hnp3rm	I ejaculated, putting aside the excuse I had been framing; “ does it bear on the case?"
hvd.hnp3rm	I know, of course, that Bentinck thought I would bring him a fortune, and what is this petty legacy but a drop in the bucket?
hvd.hnp3rm	I repeated slow- ly; “ are you advised of this? ”.
hvd.hnp3rm	I sat thinking; it was a blow to me — this admission; what did it mean?
hvd.hnp3rm	I was a little bewildered; why had Lloyd spoken so frankly of her, and of his will in her favor, after refusing to see her?
hvd.hnp3rm	If that wine was poisoned- if it was poisoned- John, who was with Dr. Lloyd when it was poured out into the glass?
hvd.hnp3rm	Is he really trying to solve the dreadful mys- tery?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Is it likely to be from Short? ” I opened it hastily; it was brief.
hvd.hnp3rm	Is n't it delightful that she is n't hopeless — a person, in fact?"
hvd.hnp3rm	It seems like morbid curiosity, does n't it?
hvd.hnp3rm	Jealous- ies?
hvd.hnp3rm	Lloyd?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Look how the last little lights on the French shore are blinking through the fog; it's perfectly dismal, is n't it?".
hvd.hnp3rm	M. le Maire is there and the gend- armes and two surgeons. ” “ Do they suspect foul play?"
hvd.hnp3rm	McHenry?".
hvd.hnp3rm	Moreover, why did he not sit down and put the pow- der in on the side of the table where his chair stood?
hvd.hnp3rm	Mr. Brinton, need this will make a great delay?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Mr. Schenck sent me a dispatch from Southampton. ” “ From where? ” I said sharply.
hvd.hnp3rm	Now, my dear Brinton, where was our prisoner; how did he, or she, get out?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Oh, ai n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3rm	Oh, yes, I know what you want to argue, but you know what the Scriptures say?
hvd.hnp3rm	Old Cartouche? ”"The concierge — that old man?
hvd.hnp3rm	Old Cartouche? ”"The concierge — that old man?
hvd.hnp3rm	She had heard who was there, and would we both come up stairs to take tea with her?
hvd.hnp3rm	Sixty odd?
hvd.hnp3rm	So, these are Lloyd's quarters? ” he remarked.
hvd.hnp3rm	The gentleman was no longer very young?
hvd.hnp3rm	This is why you took the house? ” I suggested, following him as he lighted our descent between gray unplastered walls.
hvd.hnp3rm	This might bear on the case, ” I sug- gested, “ what do you think? ” “ I think she lied, ” he retorted coolly.
hvd.hnp3rm	Under the will that I drew he received not one cent. ”"What in the world does it all mean? ” she cried.
hvd.hnp3rm	Very good, that is all we wanted to know, is it not? ” I added, referring to Lavaur.
hvd.hnp3rm	Very well,"I replied, “ I am going back to Paris tonight, can you report by six?
hvd.hnp3rm	Was it possible that it was the unknown?
hvd.hnp3rm	Was n't it more like a stroke? ” “ There was poison in his glass, ” I re- plied simply.
hvd.hnp3rm	We had quite a talk. ”"About money matters?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Well?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What could you find in the wake of a broom and a dustpan?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What did you want of me? ” he added abruptly, turning full on us.
hvd.hnp3rm	What do you mean?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What do you mean?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What do you say to it? ” “ My dear Lady Serena,"I replied, tak- ink the vacant chair at the table, “ I really do not know what to say.
hvd.hnp3rm	What do you want to stand out for and run the estate in any deeper? ” “ I rather think the estate can stand it,"I retorted coolly.
hvd.hnp3rm	What is it, Cartouche? ” I asked, care- lessly, “ the doctor is well, I hope?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What is it, Cartouche? ” I asked, care- lessly, “ the doctor is well, I hope?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What is it?"
hvd.hnp3rm	What is the use, m'sieur? ” he said sternly, “ there must be some one accused- how easy to accuse a poor old man- of no consequence!
hvd.hnp3rm	What on earth is it? ” he asked blankly.
hvd.hnp3rm	What ought I to do?
hvd.hnp3rm	What's up?"
hvd.hnp3rm	When will you be done with this farce?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Where is she staying? ”.
hvd.hnp3rm	Where is the opening below?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Where was the trap? ” he cried.
hvd.hnp3rm	Where's Andy Schenck? ” “ Poor Gibbs, how vain our efforts to be ingratiating! ” I remarked reflectively.
hvd.hnp3rm	Who saw him last?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Why did n't they look for the space between the walls? ”.
hvd.hnp3rm	Why did n't you wait for me, Jack?
hvd.hnp3rm	Will monsieur proceed? ” suggested M. Doudet softly, rubbing his hands.
hvd.hnp3rm	Will you lead us, M. Delcasse? ” The detective rose with something like a sigh.
hvd.hnp3rm	Will you take me?"
hvd.hnp3rm	Yet, as I approached the grim front of 169 ANICE “ Are you prepared to see ghosts? ” he asked genially.
hvd.hnp3rm	You anticipate no trouble then?"
hvd.hnp3rm	You do n't believe in his guilt?"
hvd.hnp3rm	You know he never forgave Bentinck for marrying me- was n't it ridiculous?
hvd.hnp3rm	You mean Lord Bentinck? ” he said, with a shrug; “ he's scarcely a party to the suit."
hvd.hnp3rm	You mean she took the next ship back? ” asked Lavaur, with a maliciously amused glance at me — he hardly sup- pressed a laugh.
hvd.hnp3rm	You remember what Charles Lamb says about them? ” “ Like your uncle, Charles Lamb did not know you, ” I said, with gallantry.
hvd.hnp3rm	You want to pin her down to the num- ber of visits? ” I asked, ready to comply if we were likely to gain anything.
hvd.hnp3rm	You will come, m'sieur? ” he de- manded."
hvd.hnp3rm	and I became uncertain again about the color of her eyes; were they violet?
hvd.hnp3rm	gasped Lady Serena; “ what next?"
hvd.hnp3rm	she agreed, and then she sighed; “ dear me, what will Ben- tinck say?
hvd.hnp3rm	she asked anxiously; “ is he here?
hvd.hnp3rm	she asked; “ ca n't I com- promise — or do something?
hvd.hnp3rm	she cried, “ you ca n't mean that? ” He seemed repentant.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Ah, ” he said, “ will you present me?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Am I to congratulate you? ” I asked indifferently.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ And if she will not go? ” I suggested."
hvd.hnp3rm	“ And is so long remembered?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ And it does not follow that it is mu- tual?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ And what is to become of me?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ And you have changed your mind in- stead? ” He closed the drawer and sitting down, motioned me to a seat on the opposite side of the fire.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ And you'll find the woman? ” I asked dryly.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Are n't you going to see her? ” I asked.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Are you the only person acquainted with the contents of the will that you as- sert that you drew?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ At his feet? ” I asked.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ But the motive?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ By the Lord Harry, do you think I'm such a cussed fool as to play into your hands? ”.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ By the way, Lady Serena, do you know Anice Hol- land?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Did I say so? ” I asked.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Did he run away from the lady- or the tiger? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Did n't she substitute her own baby for Mrs. Schenck's, Mattie? ” prompted Portman.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Did you know that your uncle lost the suit in the Circuit Court,"I said,"and he was going to appeal it to the Supreme Court?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you believe in presentiments?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you know I have n't a black rag with me? ” she said, in an awed voice, “ and I've sent my woman out to buy a costume for to- morrow.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you know I think it is all just like Uncle Henry?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you know anything of Mr. Andrew, sir?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you know that there has been a woman there recently and one who has pleaded with him about money matters? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you mean to say that you believe that, Serena?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Do you remember buying me some soda water and some taffy?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Essential?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Good gracious! ” replied Lady Serena, quite unmoved, “ you do n't mean that you have become a bill collector, John?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Good heavens, I remember an amiable old gentleman in New Haven who married his cook. ” “ Do you recollect whether he ever got a divorce?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Goodness, do you think it was me? ” she said flippantly, laying her hand on my arm and suddenly stopping me under a light.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Had n't we better go in and look at the church — in case we should meet Schenck if we went on at once? ” “ Do you think we should?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Had n't we better go in and look at the church — in case we should meet Schenck if we went on at once? ” “ Do you think we should?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Have n't I shown my faith?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Have n't I won out on the last appeal, young man?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Have the police finished their exam- ination of the premises?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ He is an American, I believe, Mrs. Buyse? ” struck in Lavaur.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Hello, Andy! ” he said, familiarly, “ you're dressing up to your prospects, eh?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ How about Miss Holland? ” I sug- gested.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ How dared he?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ How does it fare with Mr. Andrew, sir?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ How long have you known Andy?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I am to understand that this search was concerted between you and my friend 233 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE here without my knowledge? ” I continued.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I am to understand that you are getting un- keyed? ” I suggested.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I can not quite understand,"I said bluntly; “ your aunt thinks that I will in- jure your cause?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I drew one will certainly,"I re- plied, “ but not this one. ”"What did he do with the other then?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I shall 130 THE HUNDREDTH ACRE • Precisely, madame, ” said Lavaur sweetly, “ number — number —?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I should like to ask, madam, if you think I put it there?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I understood that he was. ”"Who is to fight for Lady Serena's in- terests? ” she asked, giving me a quick glance from under her long lashes.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ I wonder why you bring up Andrew Schenck? ” she asked coldly.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ If that is the case, ” I said, “ it's well worth your price?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ In what way, madam? ” stifly, but with some internal eagerness.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Is it second sight with you?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Is monsieur pleased?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Is n't it too bad that I did n't come sooner?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Is there going to be much trouble, sir? ” she asked anxiously, directing her question to me.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ It has really gone as far as that then?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ It was not locked?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ It's weird, is n't it?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Lady Bentinck, why not ask Marie now about your uncle's refusal to see you?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Lady Serena? ” I inquired, smiling; I knew how hotly he and Serena had quar- relled.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ May I ask how long you have been burrowing? ” I said mildly.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ May I ask how you came to be retained by both Miss Holland and Mr. Schenck? ” I inquired, as I looked about for my over- coat and hat.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ May I ask you what you propose to do with these two men to- night? ” He looked at me with an enigmatical smile.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Monsieur, do you think that there is something irregular about this will?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Mr. Portman, ” I cried, “ can you prove this beyond a doubt?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ My dear Lady Serena,"I said, “ whom did you see here?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Of Schenck?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Oh, never mind,"she said, with a shrug, “ it was probably not her fault and what difference does it make now?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Prove it?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Sacré Vierge Marie! ” he ejaculated, and crossed himself devoutly “ m'sieur runs a great risk. ”"And why?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Should I be here, John?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Should I have asked you otherwise?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Spirits?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Tell me about Dr. Lloyd, ” she said;"did he really wish to see me?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ That means to your convictions, does n't it?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ That's the same Schenck you and I met in Rome three years ago, ” he said; “ do n't you remember how tipsy he was?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Then it is certain that there will be a contest?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Then why are they so often flouted?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ This is Mr. John Brinton, I think?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ To the hundredth acre?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Tonnerre! ” he said, “ we will call it suicide- do you not see?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Was it a stroke, or the heart? ” he asked the concierge, mildly interested.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Well, Brinton? ” he said, with a smile.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Well? ” I said, looking up at his im- perturbable face.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Were the differences very essential? ” she asked coldly; she could not quite re- cover from her disappointment.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ What color are her eyes? ” he asked genially."
hvd.hnp3rm	“ What do you want to do?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ What sort of a lady?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Who, Bentinck?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Why did you speak of him as you did the next morning and refuse to see him?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Why settle on that poor old man? ” I asked, with a shrug.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Why, of course, what is the use of liv- ing without it?
hvd.hnp3rm	“ Why? ” he asked, “ it's an old rookery and I'll trail the serpent from there.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You do n't mean it, sir?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You mean that a woman hates to see blood?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You say that — that to my face? ” he sputtered, “ you dare to, you sneak!
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You think you are taking me away from the French police, John, do n't you? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You were here — yesterday?"
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You'll come on up to the Albemarle, of course? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3rm	“ You'll think it strange, sir, ” she said, hesitating,"but can I find out to- morrow?
hvd.hnp3rm	• Precisely, but you know what to expect of the French police, ” he replied, “ though I suppose you have never been arrested in Paris?"
hvd.hnp1i5	For what purpose did he give you this money? ” m “ That, sir, is my business. ” The “ marquisespirit was beginning to assert itself.
hvd.hnp1i5	How d'ye do? ” he said. hvd.hnp1i5 I presume, Dr. Lester, that you are in accord with Sir Henry Mathieson? ” “ Entirely.
hvd.hnp1i5	Is she very old? ” “ Why, doctor, she might be ninety, or she might be a little more, but she's allus been strong.
hvd.hnp1i5	Well, sir, what sport? ” “ Excellent, with a catastrophe thrown in.
hvd.hnp1i5	What do you suppose people will think? hvd.hnp1i5 You saw me, then? ” “ Who could help it?
hvd.hnp1i5	You saw me, then? ” “ Who could help it? hvd.hnp1i5 '” “ And what did Miss Holt reply? ”I did n't hear any more, sir.
hvd.hnp1i5	173 The Arncliffe Puzzle “ Well, and what if I do, Mr. Warren? ” mocked the girl.
hvd.hnp1i5	19 The Arncliffe Puzzle “ Can you let me see the vessel which contained the beef tea? ” Mrs. Warren hesitated.

hvd.hnp1i5	211 The Arncliffe Puzzle"Did you say you were Irish? ” asked Bradshaw suddenly, with a disconcerting smile.
hvd.hnp1i5	Aingier?
hvd.hnp1i5	Am I to understand that you are a relative? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hnp1i5	Amalgamated Lumber — that's me. ” “ Do you mean to tell me, ” exclaimed Lester,"that you are Bradshaw the millionaire?
hvd.hnp1i5	And then came the despairing thought — would she forgive him?
hvd.hnp1i5	And what object was served thereby?
hvd.hnp1i5	And what was your answer?
hvd.hnp1i5	And why did Lizzie mention Miss Holt?
hvd.hnp1i5	Besides, how dare you say you are friendless?
hvd.hnp1i5	But do you think the beef tea was harmful, Dr. Lester?
hvd.hnp1i5	But for goodness'sake, sir, what did his lordship die of? ” “ Dr.
hvd.hnp1i5	But how are affairs going generally?
hvd.hnp1i5	But what has he done?
hvd.hnp1i5	But what is this wonderful matter?
hvd.hnp1i5	But why should my poor little troubles be allowed to interfere with Mrs. Aingier's arrangements?
hvd.hnp1i5	But why? ” “ I suppose I must tell you the whole story, ” said Lester.
hvd.hnp1i5	Call me ‘ Bob,'wo n't you? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Can you help my judgment by any specific fact?
hvd.hnp1i5	Can you meet me at the East Lodge gate at nine o'clock?
hvd.hnp1i5	Can you walk? ” Warren struggled to his feet.
hvd.hnp1i5	Could Lester have made her suffer had he really loved her?
hvd.hnp1i5	Could it be the same man who attacked you? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Dang me if I can think. ” “ Named after a cow? ” “ Well, mebbe ť coo was called efter t pleäce.
hvd.hnp1i5	Did he become Earl of Arncliffe? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Did it never have a flirtation in all its life?
hvd.hnp1i5	Did she seem up- set? ” “ No, not then —"“ Has Miss Holt appeared to be upset at any time recently? ” asked the Coroner, quickly.
hvd.hnp1i5	Did she seem up- set? ” “ No, not then —"“ Has Miss Holt appeared to be upset at any time recently? ” asked the Coroner, quickly.
hvd.hnp1i5	Did the Earl poison himself? ” “ By gum!
hvd.hnp1i5	Did you know my name was Bob, miss? ” He was standing so close to her now that he could see the troubled droop of her full lips.
hvd.hnp1i5	Did you receive my letter?
hvd.hnp1i5	Do n't you think you had better let me judge what is best? ” Edith shook her head.
hvd.hnp1i5	Do you know that Miss Holt is worrying about you just a million times more than you deserve? ” “ Miss Holt? ” “ Yes, of course, Miss Holt.
hvd.hnp1i5	Do you know that Miss Holt is worrying about you just a million times more than you deserve? ” “ Miss Holt? ” “ Yes, of course, Miss Holt.
hvd.hnp1i5	Do you remember having delivered any letters at the Hall recently, letters bearing American stamps? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Does n't a certain old fogy named Aingier count for anything? ” “ You tell me to mistrust all my fellow- creatures,"retorted Edith.
hvd.hnp1i5	Does the action constitute me a poacher?
hvd.hnp1i5	Else why did he think of a girl whom he had seen twice in his life, as “ Edith ”?
hvd.hnp1i5	Forty shillings and costs?
hvd.hnp1i5	Had I done so I should, of course, have disregarded his prohibition. ” “ Do you think Lord Arncliffe was a man to commit suicide?"
hvd.hnp1i5	Had he fled, or was he skulking in the Park in the fancied security of Aingier's death?
hvd.hnp1i5	Had she driven him away from her, this knight errant who had found her in the wilderness?
hvd.hnp1i5	Had there been a quarrel, open threats?
hvd.hnp1i5	He can do a lot for us. ”"In what way? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp1i5	He said he would be a dead man within a fortnight. ” “ You did not mention this matter to anybody?"
hvd.hnp1i5	He talked about some stuff he called pick- row- somethin'-or- other — ”"Picrotoxin?"
hvd.hnp1i5	How came you to be so dreadfully in- jured, Mr. Bradshaw?
hvd.hnp1i5	How did you learn that he was one and the same with your uncle Willam Bradshaw? ” “ Miss Holt, promise you will never give me away!"
hvd.hnp1i5	How long would it remain unopened?
hvd.hnp1i5	I have a shrewd suspicion that your dear doctor is responsible for all this? ” Edith's pride came to the rescue.
hvd.hnp1i5	I was told that Miss Holt and he were walking together half an hour since. ” “ Miss Holt?
hvd.hnp1i5	I wonder who he knows there? ” “ Who brought it? ” “ Jackson's little boy. ” Jackson was a gardener employed on the Arcliffe estate.
hvd.hnp1i5	I wonder who he knows there? ” “ Who brought it? ” “ Jackson's little boy. ” Jackson was a gardener employed on the Arcliffe estate.
hvd.hnp1i5	I?
hvd.hnp1i5	If you have nothing else to do, will you walk in that direction? ”"Nothing could give me greater pleasure, ” he replied.
hvd.hnp1i5	In a word, do you yourself suspect any- body? ” Lester felt that she would be calmer if recalled to the direct issue of the tragedy.
hvd.hnp1i5	Is he a friend of hers? ” “ Not to my knowledge.
hvd.hnp1i5	Is he known to any one locally? ” “ I never heard of him before to- day.
hvd.hnp1i5	Is that correct?"
hvd.hnp1i5	It was the light for which they had come to look; the light which had shone night after night- telling what story?
hvd.hnp1i5	It was then I noticed that the young lady seemed a bit upset. ” “ And that was all? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Now, gentlemen,"said the Coroner.
hvd.hnp1i5	May I ask if your nocturnal rambles have ended? ” “ I tell you I have not passed your door before!
hvd.hnp1i5	May I ask your name, sir? ” “ George Lester.
hvd.hnp1i5	Meanwhile, it is desirable that scandal should be avoided if possible, and I hope that no one — you hear me, Simpson?
hvd.hnp1i5	My poor old master was murdered! ” “ Will you kindly be quiet, Simpson? ” said Ain.
hvd.hnp1i5	Now, Mr. Simpson, you have been in Lord Arcliffe's employment for a very long period, have you not? ” “ Thirty- eight years, sir.
hvd.hnp1i5	Now, about fifteen hundred a year — ” “ Yes? ” “ I made fifteen hundred last year, but I shall do better next.
hvd.hnp1i5	Our poor friend was slightly eccentric, eh?
hvd.hnp1i5	Should he escape while yet the way was open?
hvd.hnp1i5	Should he refuse her now in a greater need?
hvd.hnp1i5	Supposing I were to take care of this ‘ got- rich- quick'gentleman? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Surely you can trust me? ” “ Yes, indeed.
hvd.hnp1i5	The word suggested a circus or a fair to him, but his guest went on: “ And who is Mr. Warren? ” “ He's ťagent, Mrs. Warren's son.
hvd.hnp1i5	There is not another woman, is there? ” “ Certainly not! ” said Edith, scornfully.
hvd.hnp1i5	This is the nearest way back. ” “ Then who passed here earlier? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hnp1i5	To me and Harry? ” “ Do n't snap at me in that fashion, May.
hvd.hnp1i5	Was Edith Holt the latest fancy of this village Lothario?
hvd.hnp1i5	Was it not so, in sober earnest?
hvd.hnp1i5	Was it so?
hvd.hnp1i5	Was that an item of the business under discusion? ” “ Yes, ” admitted Edith faintly, lifting startled eyes to the Coroner.
hvd.hnp1i5	What are you doing here? ” suddenly demanded a loud voice.
hvd.hnp1i5	What are you going to do if I bring him back?
hvd.hnp1i5	What can it all mean? ” “ Now, honey, it's time that lass was yam( home) an'i bed, ” came a thin voice from within the cottage.
hvd.hnp1i5	What deadly venom was it that some one was instilling into the public mind?
hvd.hnp1i5	What does he know about it? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hnp1i5	What does that idiot of a juryman mean by bothering you with his absurd questions?
hvd.hnp1i5	What is the fine, I wonder?
hvd.hnp1i5	What possible foundation have you for what you say? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	What was the secret watcher's object?
hvd.hnp1i5	What's best to be done — ride to Moseley or telegraph to Alnwick? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	When Mr. Hobson says that your wound bled so dreadfully?
hvd.hnp1i5	When all was said and done, how did it concern him?
hvd.hnp1i5	When had his mother seen Edith?
hvd.hnp1i5	Which way are you going? ” “ Back to the village, sir. ” The words had scarcely left her lips before Lizzie realized her error.
hvd.hnp1i5	Who could have wished him harm? ” She stopped to choke back a sob.
hvd.hnp1i5	Who could it have been?
hvd.hnp1i5	Who is it; have you heard? ” “ No one knows.
hvd.hnp1i5	Who is to say that Miss Holt and the doctor were really strangers — that they were not, as a matter of fact, old lovers?
hvd.hnp1i5	Why are you keeping me here? ” he bellowed again.
hvd.hnp1i5	Why did n't you let me know?
hvd.hnp1i5	Why did you come? ” And she asked so many questions in a breath that the newcomer had no chance to answer a single one of them.
hvd.hnp1i5	Why do n't you tell the truth, and say you are hankering after Miss Holt? ” Warren was not entirely sorry that May herself had broached the subject.
hvd.hnp1i5	Why this air of mystery, my good sir?
hvd.hnp1i5	Will you prom- ise, doctor? ” “ No, by Heaven, I will not! ” cried Lester.
hvd.hnp1i5	Will you promise not to say any more nasty things to me about Lord Arncliffe's money? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Will you promise to keep quiet? ” 280 Wherein Lester is Caged"No,"answered Lester, shutting his jaws with a snap.
hvd.hnp1i5	Would I have been there were I suspicious of a poisoner?
hvd.hnp1i5	Would this represent the payment to you? ” A more skilled hand than the Coroner's revealed itself.
hvd.hnp1i5	You are your own mistress, but I hope you will not refuse me your confidence. ” “ Why should I?
hvd.hnp1i5	You must n't judge us folk the same as you would the gentry. ” “ I know; but — here, wo n't this window open?
hvd.hnp1i5	You surely 174 The Arncliffe Puzzle “ What do you mean? ” he demanded impera- tively.
hvd.hnp1i5	You wo n't take a drop of my special to keep the cold out before you go? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	Young Warren says — ” “ Did it ever strike you to devote a little more attention to Mr. Harry Warren? ” interrupted Brad- shaw.
hvd.hnp1i5	what could such a woman find admirable in a clodhopper like that?
hvd.hnp1i5	what do you mean? ” he snarled.
hvd.hnp1i5	what is this I hear? ” he cried.
hvd.hnp1i5	who could blame him for worshiping this divinity?
hvd.hnp1i5	why did I not listen to him?
hvd.hnp1i5	— Besides, what did a few hun- dreds matter to old Arncliffe? ” “ A few hundreds! ” murmured his mother, re- proachfully.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Am I to be fed? ” he asked pathetically.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ And do you force other people to sell their busi- nesses to you or else crush them? ” asked Edith, reproachfully.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ And what did Lord Arncliffe reply? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ At five in the afternoon, sir. ” “ He did not appear to be unwell? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ But did you not think it your duty to take some steps in so serious a matter? ” “ Lord Arncliffe would never have tolerated dis- obedience.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ But how did you know? ” asked Edith in utter atsonishment.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ But what is behind it?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ But where is Dr. Lester?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ But why are we travel- ing at such a pace? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ But why need you marry Miss Holt, even if you are in difficulties?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Ca n't you see that he may attract attention to himself?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Can I be of any service? ” interposed Lester.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Can you ride? ” “ Yes. ” “ Well, sir, take my mare.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Did Lord Arncliffe persist in his assertion that an attempt was being made to kill him? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Did Lord Arncliffe really show much knowledge of poisons? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Did the beef tea and biscuits constitute his last.meal? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Did you notice anything strange in the young lady's manner when she brought in his lordship ’s beef tea?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Difference?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Do any of you know a man in the district who carries a blackthorn?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Do n't you know me, Master Harry? ” answered the other, banteringly.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Engaged? ” he bellowed.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Harry and you are engaged, are n't you, May? ” said her friend.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Harry, ” she said tremulously, and now there was no art in the quiver of her voice, “ what does all this mean?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Has Dr. Smalley been in regular attendance on Lord Arncliffe? ” inquired Lester, still examining the dead man's face.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Has Lord Arcliffe made any fresh will since I was here last?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Has Lord Arncliffe had a sudden seizure?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Have you forgiven me, darling? ” “ Perhaps I have, ” in a whisper.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Have you formed any opinion as to the cause of his lordship ’s death? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Have you never made yourself known to Lord Arncliffe? ” “ Why, yes — and that is what is puzzling me.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Have you talked to Mrs. Warren about Lester's disap- pearance? ” he asked Edith.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Have you tracked the fell mare of night to her nest at last? ”"Oh, you may chaff, sir, ” cried Hobson, cheerily.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ He ca n't ruin me. ” “ Ca n't he?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ His lordship dyin'?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ How are you, Mr. Bradshaw? ” she said, holding out her hand and looking at him with frank, honest eyes.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ How can you be so unkind? ” “ Unkind? ” retorted Harry, sneeringly.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ How can you be so unkind? ” “ Unkind? ” retorted Harry, sneeringly.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ How dare you come here, sir, and make such ridicu- lous statements?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Hunting for a dog at this hour?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I am a doctor. ” “ Are you, sir? ” cried the groom.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I believe, Miss Holt, you acted as private sécre- tary to the late Lord Arncliffe? ” was the first query.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I believe, Sir Henry, you conducted the post- mortem examination of Lord Arcliffe's body? ” commenced the Coroner.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I could not respect such a man! ” “ Are you afraid of him?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I suppose some distant cousin will get the title and the bulk of the property?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I suppose, Mr. Bradshaw, ” he said,"you are prepared to substantiate your claim to be Lord Arncliffe's nephew? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I told you, Mrs. Warren, did n't I, ma'am? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ I've got him! ”"Got whom? ” asked Bradshaw, as they came up.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ If I meet him I'll ask who sent it. ” “ It was to make an appointment of some sort. ” “ You do n't say?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Is his lordship better, sir? ” inquired the man.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Is n't there? ” said Bradshaw, dangerously calm.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Is that Maister Harry Warren?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Is there anything else you want to ask me? ” he asked suavely.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Is there no antidote? ” “ I know of none to arsenic, except the stomach- pump,"answered Lester, with decision.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Jer- sey, Guernsey, Alderney? ” he tried.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Nearly sixty. ” “ No other men? ” “ No.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ No doubt Lord Arncliffe suffered from occasional sickness, perhaps fainting fits? ” “ Not that I know of, ” replied Warren.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Now can any one tell me whose duty it was to receive such letters as were delivered at the Hall? ”"Mine, ” answered Edith at once.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Now, sir, will you promise to stop here quietly until I tell you you can go? ” “ You infernal idiot! ” broke in Warren.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Now, then, ” he said, sharply, “ Where is Dr. Lester?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Oh — how do you do?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Oh, my dearest, forgive me: I was jealous! ”"Jealous? ” exclaimed Edith, with scornful in- dignation.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Ought I to have spoken, I wonder?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Poisoned? ” echoed his mother, gazing af- frightedly at Lester.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Poisons? ” repeated Jones, grinning widely.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Poor Edith! ” “ Poor Edith? ” cried Bradshaw, curiously.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Register all my letters?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Shall we walk this way? ” She indicated the high road, leading away from the village.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ So, ” he mused, “ that surly skunk Warren is likely to be ruined if he does n't marry Miss Holt?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Suspect?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Then you knew I was in the Park? ” “ Yes, indeed.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Well, Wilson?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What are the facts, Mr. Bradshaw? ” demanded the Coroner.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What are you talking about? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What did Mr. Warren say to manifest his friend- liness? ” he went on.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What in thunder do you think you are playing at?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What is it?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What is my career worth in comparison with you?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What is this horror that has come into my life? ” she asked herself.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What is your name? ” “ William Lincoln Bradshaw."
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What on earth have you been doing? ” demanded Aingier sharply.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What was thrown in, sir?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What's wrang noo? ” said the landlord.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ What?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ When did you last see Lord Arncliffe alive? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Where is he staying?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Who are you? ” he whispered imperatively.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Who is she, I'd like to know? ” snorted the kitchen- maid.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Who is this young man? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Who will stop me? ” he asked, with the tense note in his voice of the man who will kill if needs be.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Why are you trying to overhear our conversa- tion? ” he demanded sternly.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Why did you ask me that? ” he went on sharply.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Why do you wish to take the longer route? ” was the cautious query.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Why in thunder did n't you answer when I called just now?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Why, Miss May, ” said the voice of Wilson the groom, “ I almost ran over you! ” “ Is that you, Wilson?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Will his lordship's death make any difference? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Will you oblige me by coming into the corridor a moment? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Wo n't you tell me, what caused the shots I heard- has any one been injured? ”.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Wo n't you?
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Would you mind if I drove round to the West Lodge? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ Yes. ” “ All in gold? ” 111 The Arncliffe Puzzle “ Yes; I required it in gold. ” She was all spirit now.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You act as village postman, I believe, Barnes? ” “ Yes, sir, forty years come Christmas —"“ Never mind that.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You collected the amount personally from the Alnwick branch of the Great Northern Bank?"
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You followed him for half an hour? ” he cried with increasing suspicion in his voice.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You fool! ” snarled Warren, contemptuously, “ ca n't you see that he will ruin us? ” “ Ruin you! ” retorted the poacher.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You will not forget the date and the hour? ” he said, noticing that Jones weighed the small package in his hand with a certain air of doubt.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You wish to see me, Miss Holt? ” she said stiffly.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ You, Wilson? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp1i5	“ why have you not your fishing- tackle with you on this fine day? ” 184 The Arncliffe Puzzle excellent thing that we are alone.
hvd.hn5s9b	And you think yourself justified in suggesting that I've played against you?
hvd.hn5s9b	Do you really tote a gun, Handyside?
hvd.hn5s9b	Escaped? ” He shook his head, not in negation but testily. hvd.hn5s9b Have you ever needed an invitation, Garrett?"
hvd.hn5s9b	How?
hvd.hn5s9b	Lunch? ” he queried, almost plaintive. hvd.hn5s9b Me?
hvd.hn5s9b	Must you?
hvd.hn5s9b	No Man's Land? ” he muttered huskily... “ Land of devils...!
hvd.hn5s9b	Not yet. ” “ You mean it may be true- later? ”It's possible,"she affirmed quietly.
hvd.hn5s9b	Of me?
hvd.hn5s9b	That you, Soames? hvd.hn5s9b There's nothing I can serve you in, Katherine?"
hvd.hn5s9b	To go sailin'in?
hvd.hn5s9b	Well? hvd.hn5s9b What do you mean by that? ” Truax, on his feet, turned upon his tormentor with an impercepti- ble tremor in his voice.
hvd.hn5s9b	What else? ” The little man laughed gently. hvd.hn5s9b What is it?"
hvd.hn5s9b	What shall I say, then? ” Appleyard pondered aloud. hvd.hn5s9b Where under Heaven did she drop from?
hvd.hn5s9b	Who are you, anyway? ” pursued Coast incau- tiously. hvd.hn5s9b Yes? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5s9b	You? ” Blackstock's thick lips curved, contempt- uous. hvd.hn5s9b You? ” He cast a quick, cautious look round.
hvd.hn5s9b	* Make you a present of'em?
hvd.hn5s9b	* Oh? ” A faint flush dyed the little man's cheeks; simul- taneously he asserted some little dignity.
hvd.hn5s9b	* “ Who's that? ” he demanded sharply, his features darkly distorted with apprehension.
hvd.hn5s9b	.. Due south from Butler's Flats Light, you say?"
hvd.hn5s9b	... And you, sir? ”* Coast- Garrett Coast."
hvd.hn5s9b	... Are they coming?"
hvd.hn5s9b	... By the way, you saved my life, d'you know? ” “ Oh, here now! ” Coast protested.
hvd.hn5s9b	... His friends, those who had stood by him, those who had been silent, those who had denied him: what would be their reception of him now?
hvd.hn5s9b	... How about my disguise?
hvd.hn5s9b	... I wondered... Hello, what now?"
hvd.hn5s9b	... Katherine Thaxter...?
hvd.hn5s9b	... Katherine Thaxter?
hvd.hn5s9b	... Now is n't it a fact that Blackstock and Power were busiest with the wireless as a rule for a few days before the schooner showed up?"
hvd.hn5s9b	... Now will you get that mud- hook up?"
hvd.hn5s9b	... Or should I say,'weigh anchor'?"
hvd.hn5s9b	... Something wrong... What...?
hvd.hn5s9b	... Was insanity the explanation?
hvd.hn5s9b	... What d'you mean by coming in here without knocking? ” he added with a show of bluster.
hvd.hn5s9b	... You did n't inherit much from your aunt, did you? ”"Why... a few keepsakes only.
hvd.hn5s9b	... You may have noticed?"
hvd.hn5s9b	...""It was n't an uncommon occurrence, then? ” The rage smouldering in Coast's heart thick.cned his utterance.
hvd.hn5s9b	.... You ca n't really — care for him?"
hvd.hn5s9b	..... You know what happened, sir?"
hvd.hn5s9b	...?
hvd.hn5s9b	.?
hvd.hn5s9b	.?"
hvd.hn5s9b	240 NO MAN'S LAND “ How about Mr. Handyside's supper, John?"
hvd.hn5s9b	248 NO MAN'S LAND How much had Coast to apprehend, what to guard against?
hvd.hn5s9b	344 NO MAN'S LAND 345 ervou “ Feeling better? ” asked Appleyard.
hvd.hn5s9b	? ” Coast interposed with his disarming smile.
hvd.hn5s9b	?"
hvd.hn5s9b	A few hundred yards to the eastwards, and we'd be swimming, right now. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn5s9b	A thing of comparative values?
hvd.hn5s9b	Am I a wizard?
hvd.hn5s9b	And do I understand that no one ever visits the island except your weekly boat from New Bedford? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	And one way or another Dundas was a perjurer: first his testimony convicted me, then his testimony set me free. ”"What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hn5s9b	And then...?
hvd.hn5s9b	And this"-he nodded toward the farmhouse- “ is your home?"
hvd.hn5s9b	And why?"
hvd.hn5s9b	And yet... Appleyard?
hvd.hn5s9b	And you blame yours for what? ” “ For making me a- I presume posterity, in the final analysis, will adjudge me a Romantic."
hvd.hn5s9b	And you?
hvd.hn5s9b	Any orders, sir,'fore I goes below to tidy up? ” “ You might bring up the compass."
hvd.hn5s9b	Any- thing I can do? ” “ You can take a look at that damned engine, if you do n't mind.
hvd.hn5s9b	Are n't you?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Are there no right men, Garrett, but yourself and others of our'set'?
hvd.hn5s9b	But Appleyard...?"
hvd.hn5s9b	But in such case, would he have delegated to another the assassina- tion of Power?
hvd.hn5s9b	But now that it's all over and past remedy, would n't it be better not to reopen that old wound?
hvd.hn5s9b	But then-?".
hvd.hn5s9b	But what else could he do?
hvd.hn5s9b	But what of that?"
hvd.hn5s9b	But what's become of him? ” “ Oh, he went back to his boat- said he did n't dare leave her for fear she'd drag and come up on the beach.
hvd.hn5s9b	But —"“ And between whiles smaller boats call?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Ca n't a com- monplace coincidence be explained any other way nowadays?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Can we make Vineyard Haven by nightfall, do you think?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Can you bring Van Tuyl to life or make my — the man I married less than a mur- derer? ”"I came to protect you; you were alone and friendless."
hvd.hn5s9b	Can you lift this weight from my heart, can you right the wrong to yourself, by being here?
hvd.hn5s9b	Can you remember the time when we were not- friends? ” “ No....
hvd.hn5s9b	Col."I say, Mr. Black, ” Coast could not refrain from asking, “ how the dickens do you manage to get about with such sureness?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Come along and be a hero, why do n't you? ” Coast chuckled as he ranged alongside.
hvd.hn5s9b	Could that have been his voice, calling for help...?
hvd.hn5s9b	D'you mean to tell me you made the run through this storm? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	Did he believe Coast to be Handyside?
hvd.hn5s9b	Did he or did he not suspect?
hvd.hn5s9b	Did n't I call you, Garrett?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Did n't they bring you here? ” “ Only part way; you see, this accident I men- tioned"“ What sort of an accident?
hvd.hn5s9b	Did n't they bring you here? ” “ Only part way; you see, this accident I men- tioned"“ What sort of an accident?
hvd.hn5s9b	Did she or did she not sus- pect?
hvd.hn5s9b	Do I impress you by any chance?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Do n't you want to be helped- sayed?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Do you expect me to be- lieve it when I have seen the marks of his brutality upon your arm? ” “ He did n't mean it, Garrett.
hvd.hn5s9b	Do you have to buy all your trousies by the fathom, may I ask? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	Do you think he has ac- complished much, that way, since you came to the island?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Do you think you can remember that?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Does n't it smell like an easter to you? ” Appleyard sniffed contemptuously.
hvd.hn5s9b	Dundas, who shot Van Tuyl?
hvd.hn5s9b	D’you want to keep me standing here all day?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Even so, it'll favour us up the Sound, wo n't it?
hvd.hn5s9b	Ever try to disrobe on the bed of the sea?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Everything, I suppose?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Get back to that window- seat- and try to keep your miserable teeth still, ca n't you?
hvd.hn5s9b	Got that down?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Gresham died — you knew that, sir?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Had n't I better get the motor going?
hvd.hn5s9b	Had she heard?
hvd.hn5s9b	Had they ever had absolute faith in his innocence, despite their protestations?
hvd.hn5s9b	Hang it, if they did n't bring you Where'd you leave them?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Have you seen it?"
hvd.hn5s9b	He conned the names of a dozen of the dearest: did they be- lieve in him, even now, in their secret hearts?
hvd.hn5s9b	He could think of nothing to say but: “ Oh?"
hvd.hn5s9b	He's been badly bitten, first by a dog and then by fright, and he wants to give himself up and be sent to a hospital. ” “ Oh, that's it, eh?
hvd.hn5s9b	How could he leave her so?
hvd.hn5s9b	How did you know?"
hvd.hn5s9b	How shall I hold her? ” “ Sou'-sou’east."
hvd.hn5s9b	How'd Finn come to run the Corsair aground?
hvd.hn5s9b	I assume you intend to set sail this morning?
hvd.hn5s9b	I never knew you to lie to me, Garrett, NO MAN'S LAND 259 “ But why?"
hvd.hn5s9b	I told you I'd prove indis- COU IS- 94 NO MAN'S LAND pensable, did n't I?
hvd.hn5s9b	I've been puzzling all along- if worst came to worst, there was the catboat- but how to get you aboard her?
hvd.hn5s9b	Is Miss Katherine at home?
hvd.hn5s9b	Is he, or am I, answerable to you?
hvd.hn5s9b	Is n't that so? ”"If I know Voorhis, it is. ” Blackstock rocked back and forth on his feet, pursing his full, loose- lipped mouth.
hvd.hn5s9b	Is there any truth in this rumour?"
hvd.hn5s9b	It never occurred to you that you were a public character, in a way?
hvd.hn5s9b	It seemed too absurd"“ Why? ” The only retort he had at command was pitifully inadequate: “ Because I love you."
hvd.hn5s9b	Kinder, Garrett, and more gener- ous... to me?
hvd.hn5s9b	Know you not that Desmond the Dachshund Detective is on the scent?
hvd.hn5s9b	Le's see: where'd I get off? ” “ You were on the point of making some interest- ing discoveries, ” Coast prompted patiently.
hvd.hn5s9b	Let's chance it for to- day, at least: what d'you say?
hvd.hn5s9b	Must I condemn him for that?
hvd.hn5s9b	NO MAN'S LAND 143 “ Why should he?
hvd.hn5s9b	NO MAN'S LAND 265 attempt to recoup??
hvd.hn5s9b	NO MAN'S LAND 265 attempt to recoup??
hvd.hn5s9b	NO MAN'S LAND 91 perils of waters which you've never navigated?
hvd.hn5s9b	Now what d'you know about that? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	Of what avail to denounce Blackstock and deliver him up to justice?
hvd.hn5s9b	Or did he conceive him to be neither, but some person connected with those, unknown to him, who had been upon the island during the fog?
hvd.hn5s9b	Or does that seem too rotten sudden?
hvd.hn5s9b	Or had he by some unguessable means recognised him for himself?
hvd.hn5s9b	Or would some mad concept of duty force her to expose him and bring ruin down upon them both?
hvd.hn5s9b	Perhaps you'd like to know..."“ But Miss Katherine? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	Plausible, feasible — yes?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Power? ” She flashed him a startled look.
hvd.hn5s9b	Precisely what was one to understand from that message?
hvd.hn5s9b	Romantic make- up for Hawkshaw the Detective, what?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Satisfied?"
hvd.hn5s9b	See?"
hvd.hn5s9b	She moves when she moves! ” “ That argues a crew of two? ” Coast surmised.
hvd.hn5s9b	She said, almost timidly:* Douglas... is anything the matter?'
hvd.hn5s9b	So I had to get rid of him. ” “ How did you manage that?"
hvd.hn5s9b	So long as Blackstock continued in the part of the 296 NO MAN'S LAND daylight to follow, what might not happen?
hvd.hn5s9b	So they was married and went away. ” “ Where?"
hvd.hn5s9b	So, what was the use of making a bad matter messy?
hvd.hn5s9b	Something I can show you this evening?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Still, I think I'm some promisin'entry in the David and Goliath class — what?
hvd.hn5s9b	That is why I ask you: are you happy? ”"I have no regrets,"she told him steadily.
hvd.hn5s9b	That is, sometimes, fisher- men-"“ For what purpose?"
hvd.hn5s9b	That she knew the truth about Power?
hvd.hn5s9b	The tender was gone, the shore invisible — and who should say how far distant?
hvd.hn5s9b	Then a voice said roughly:"Shut up and get on, will you?
hvd.hn5s9b	Then she said quietly, in an ordinary tone:"Is that all?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Then, “ What was that? ” he inquired ominously.
hvd.hn5s9b	Then,"Mr. Black, I believe? ” he said quietly.
hvd.hn5s9b	To laugh at me?"
hvd.hn5s9b	To make time, “ You — you do n't find it lonely? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5s9b	To what else could she refer?
hvd.hn5s9b	Understand? ” He hung up the receiver with a bang and tramped back into the dining- room.
hvd.hn5s9b	VI was “ ALL ready?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Was he justified in leaving her, though she begged and commanded him?
hvd.hn5s9b	Was he wise to humour it?
hvd.hn5s9b	Was the man in reality a homicidal maniac, at whose intellect the lust to slay ate like a cancer?
hvd.hn5s9b	Was there any con- nection to be traced between his mysterious disap- pearance from the Echo and that weird, unearthly scream?
hvd.hn5s9b	Was there really land near, and had the little man found it only to become the victim of some'frightful, nameless peril?
hvd.hn5s9b	We ought to pick up that buoy before long- won't be happy till I get it. ”"You're sure about this thing?"
hvd.hn5s9b	What NO MAN'S LAND 45 were his thoughts?
hvd.hn5s9b	What am I to do?"
hvd.hn5s9b	What could possibly be contrived to stop him by one man, un- friended and unarmed?
hvd.hn5s9b	What d'ye say?"
hvd.hn5s9b	What d'you want with all that?"
hvd.hn5s9b	What do I believe- what can I believe?
hvd.hn5s9b	What do you know about the work?
hvd.hn5s9b	What does it mean? ” “ I'll tell you in a moment, ” he temporised.
hvd.hn5s9b	What else could he do?
hvd.hn5s9b	What good can you do?
hvd.hn5s9b	What if Blackstock purposed leaving No Man's Land in the little catboat within that interim?
hvd.hn5s9b	What is it?
hvd.hn5s9b	What made him leave you here?".
hvd.hn5s9b	What of him?
hvd.hn5s9b	What's the sense of that? ” Coast de- manded excitedly.
hvd.hn5s9b	What, then, had interrupted his slumbers?
hvd.hn5s9b	When may I expect him?
hvd.hn5s9b	When'd this lull set in? ” Coast informed him.
hvd.hn5s9b	Where's your cylinder oil?
hvd.hn5s9b	Whereas, if we fold our tent and silently beat it, we can return anon( get that anon'?
hvd.hn5s9b	Who has not?...
hvd.hn5s9b	Who's worth his weight in gold?
hvd.hn5s9b	Why did he leave you here?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Why make a bad matter worse by batting round blindly in the dark?
hvd.hn5s9b	Why not?
hvd.hn5s9b	Why?
hvd.hn5s9b	Why? ” “ No matter.
hvd.hn5s9b	Why? ”"Only this, ” said Appleyard grimly, wagging a twig of a forefinger determinedly beneath Coast's nose:"it was n't in the bargain.
hvd.hn5s9b	Will you be good enough to tell me the way to the beach?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Will you stand for this?"
hvd.hn5s9b	Would I? ” “ Certainly not.
hvd.hn5s9b	Would he find healing in the swing of the seas, the savour of spray, the hiss of waters broken by plunging bows, the gurgle astern?
hvd.hn5s9b	Would he himself ever cease to doubt them secretly?
hvd.hn5s9b	Would her primal impulse to shield him, to further his deception, prevail?
hvd.hn5s9b	Would it heal his hurts to prove his innocence to this woman in whose heart he had no place?
hvd.hn5s9b	Would n't you? ” Blackstock grumbled.
hvd.hn5s9b	Would that right any wrong?
hvd.hn5s9b	Would they ever learn to believe him guiltless, even though the truth were published broadcast, trump- eted from the house- tops?
hvd.hn5s9b	Yet would not his presence there, upon the island, work her more harm than good, were he to be discovered?
hvd.hn5s9b	You are free, can go where you will..."She broke off with an anxious thought: “ The detectives do n't know where to look for you?"
hvd.hn5s9b	You do n't seriously object? ” he added, anxious.
hvd.hn5s9b	You found your Romance? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	You get me?
hvd.hn5s9b	You know NO MAN'S LAND where I hang out?
hvd.hn5s9b	You remember how we failed to prove the gun his? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	You see?
hvd.hn5s9b	You spoke of the schooner...?"
hvd.hn5s9b	You understand?"
hvd.hn5s9b	You"“ You'll tell me why? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	You'd think they'd never been out alone before. ”"Just the same, we'd better follow the fashion ourselves, do n't you think? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	You've got a tide book, of course?"
hvd.hn5s9b	are you there, Chang? ” Blackstock's simulation of surprise was admirable- if it were simulation.
hvd.hn5s9b	as they were?
hvd.hn5s9b	do n't you know I'm dying?
hvd.hn5s9b	self a name? ”"Why, Handyside, of course."
hvd.hn5s9b	“ A change has come over the spirit of our dream-yes? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ A hundred? ” A long pause prefaced Coast's estimate.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Again?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ All of which means —? ” Coast insisted.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ An omen? ” Coast queried in wonder.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And Voorhis sent no word? ” Blackstock ” de.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And now where?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And that means trouble, does n't it?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And the sensations of a hero, refreshed by sound slumbers, are-? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And this? ” he asked, stepping to her side and lightly touching her bare forearm with his finger.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And you have n't any idea where we are?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And, Garrett, you're not- not angry with me? ” “ Angry?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ And, Garrett, you're not- not angry with me? ” “ Angry?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Another drop?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Are n't you going to join us? ”"Thank you, no, ” said Coast drily.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Are n't you spraining something in your attempts to be insolent, Van? ” he inquired 28 NO MAN'S LAND a as Blackstock reappeared.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Are you happy with him- Blackstock?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Are you happy? ” he demanded forthright; and held his breath, for on her answer everything he prized depended.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ As nearly won over as that, Mr. Coast?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Beastly tasting water,"he commented between gasps, resting** What the devil are you trying to do?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But hold on how about the tide?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But how the devil'd you get here, then?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But that seine- boat? ” he asked suddenly, a mo- ment later.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But where is he?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But why do you do that? ” demanded Coast, blankly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But why — why rake up this buried grievance? ” she protested.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But would it amuse you to learn how I came to be on board that fisherman? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But — but how can you?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But, damn it, who are you?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But- Miss Katherine? ” The answer he had foreseen, hopelessly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But- granted you're what you claim and not a harmless lunatic — what do you want of me?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ But... who are you?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Deal? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Did he go alone? ” “ So far as I know.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do I? ” She seemed surprised.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do n't hear any fog signals, do you? ” “ No- o..."“ I'm going to try it, by your leave. ” “ No objection."
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do n't you know I reserve the privilege of acting as my own wet- nurse?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do n't you see”-he hated himself for this,"he's after your money, Katherine? ” “ Garrett, that is unworthy of you."
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do you believe that?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do you mind telling me where we're bound? ” Coast inquired with mild sarcasm.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do you recall when the schooner was here last?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do you think he fears you?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Do you think you can walk, dear? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Either of you want a bracer? ” Coast did not reply.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Feeling better?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ From a man contemplating suicide? ” That silenced her.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Going to have a shift of wind, you think? ” Coast asked.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Going to try to poison me, Miller?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Have you such a boat? ”"I might have, ” Huxtable admitted cautiously.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ He?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Here, ” he said curtly, “ what d'you know about stationary motors?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How can I tell?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How did you get here?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How do you like your eggs?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How d’you feel after your adventure?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How is one to tell?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How is the patient?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How much? ” Warburton drew a cheque- book toward him.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How should I know?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How was I to guess how all this had been brought about?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How's her wheel? ”* Very comfortable- just enough pull to make you understand she knows her business, that this is as much work as fun.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ How?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Howdy? ” he chirruped.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ I can tell more about you in the morning,"he said; “ we'll have a talk and come to an understanding. ” “ Why not now?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ I could; but even then would it be possible to work her inshore and take you aboard unobserved?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ I suppose you know — you've seen the papers?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ I'll put up at some hotel to- night. ” “ Made up your mind which?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ If I've seemed presumptuous""To me, Garrett?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Is it likely? ” he sneered.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Is it wise, right?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Is n't happiness difficult to define?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Is that any reason why Mr. Blackstock should not?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ It is there"“ Where?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Katherine...?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Keep it away from me, d'you hear?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Literature? ” asked Coast, aghast.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ May I beg a lift, Katherine? ” “ Indeed you may.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ My mistake? ” he parroted blankly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Need any help?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Nevertheless,"he added quietly, “ I should like to see him for a moment. ” “ Is it necessary? ” “ I should like to see him,"he repeated.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ No more than that? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ No; they are prohibited- doctor's orders. ” “ And no one writes you?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Not a breath stirring but what we “ Then we'd better find an anchorage for the night?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Not bad for a beginning, what?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Nothing alarming turned up, eh? ”"Not a thing, ” said Coast.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Oh, ” she cried,"why did you come back?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Oh? ” Van Tuyl smiled acidly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Only infinitely sordid, ” he mused, at pause: “ lacking the majesty and the horror... Wonder had I better go back?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Pasque, you mean?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Repentance?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ S'pose we anchor- what?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Shall I rehearse to you the story of my life?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Shall we say'seriously?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Since when did I appoint a bounder like you to read my meaning? ” he asked crisply.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Suppose, ” he said abruptly, “ this is n't the right boat?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Surrender? ” he muttered, incredulous.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Tarpaulin Cove?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ That I've taken a violent personal liking to you?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ That tub?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ That's better,"he gasped, in the end; and, “ What the dooce you staring at?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ That's true enough. ” “ So we're keeping it quiet, for the time being- the reasons for your release, I mean. ” “ Why?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ The devil! ” said Coast to himself; and aloud in accents hard and unrelenting: “ You'd best explain...?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ The dog?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Then I'm to understand you seriously contem- plate marrying him?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Then it's true?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Then what made you write that message last night? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Then you had n't heard about Blackstock? ” Coast shook his head.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Then, Katherine, then you do believe! ” “ Ah, how do I know?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ There are reasons why you should n't let your name be coupled with his. ” “ And they are? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Those wireless experiments of his? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Tired? ”"Not very.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ To your prospective employer? ” The faded eyes twinkled.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Vineyard Haven to- night, by any chance? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ We'll have to start the motor again to fill it. ” “ Aw, what's the use?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well —? ” he asked, half dazed.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well, what d'you make of me?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well, ” she flashed defiantly, “ and what if it is?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well-? ” he asked with a steady glance of courage.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well...?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well? ” he demanded savagely."
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well? ” he inquired, not without a suspicion of grim resentment, who was not weathered to laughter at his own ex- pense.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well? ” he said, with the air of one no longer to be denied.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Well?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What about my rooms? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What are you doing here, in this place, alone?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What d'you mean by that?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What d'you mean by"dying ’? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What d'you want me to do with'em? ” he growled semi- humorously, flipping a card from his hand and as swiftly making his play from dummy.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What do you mean by that? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What do you think? ” “ Predestination- another name for luck."
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What do you think? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What do you wish me to say?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What does Mr. Blackstock say? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What does it mean? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What else could it be?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What in thunder are you talking about? ” Appleyard removed the pipe from his mouth and waved it comprehensively toward the island.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What in thunder does that mean? ” he de- manded, surprised to the point of incredulity.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What is to become of me?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What o'clock? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What you doing? ” Coast yawned extrava- gantly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What'd I tell you? ” chuckled Appleyard.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's happened? ” he asked thickly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's o'clock? ” he asked as he stepped on deck.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's that you say?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's that? ” he demanded sharply.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's the use of what?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's the use?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's the use? ” he asked abruptly in a voice more clear than heretofore.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's this? ” he demanded briskly.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What's up?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ What?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Where in thunderation am I, anyhow?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Where were you going, Garrett?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Where you going? ”.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Where,"he de- manded without preface or apology, in a voice so thick and hoarse he hardly knew it for his own “ Where is he?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Whereabouts d'you think we are? ” Coast pur- sued sleepily.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Who's NO MAN'S LAND 201 afraid? ” he demanded, truculent.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Who's that? ” he cried.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Who's that? ” he demanded sharply, with a ner- vous gesture plucking the unlighted cigar from be- tween his teeth.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Who's there?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why Menemsha Bight?".
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why are you here, Katherine?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why did I do that? ” Dundas coughed nervously and moved toward the door.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why infatuated? ” “ What do you know of these waters?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why infatuated? ” “ What do you know of these waters?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why not put off polishing your periods un- til another time?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why not tell me?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why — up here? ” “ You never can tell what's going to happen."
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why,"said Coast"since you'd made up your mind about me — why did you hold off this long?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why...?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why? ” he cried, alarmed,"you're white as a sheet, man!
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Why?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ With this wind, via Wood's Hole? ” Coast nodded and Appleyard considered sagely.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Yes? ” “ Have you nothing to say? ” he asked involun- tarily, and at once regretted it.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ Yes? ” “ Have you nothing to say? ” he asked involun- tarily, and at once regretted it.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You do n't think there's any chance they'll go round by Cuttyhunk?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You forgot that?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You never watched them?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You — you've killed him? ” Coast panted.
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You'd think Finn'ud've managed to get her off by this time- eh?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You're not angry, Katherine?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You've earned a drink, Handyside?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You've got strength, have n't you?
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You've heard?"
hvd.hn5s9b	“ You, Handyside? ”.

hvd.hn5sby	And mine is not among them?
hvd.hn5sby	And she fell for it?
hvd.hn5sby	And since you're a true believer, Mr. Sybarite, tell me, what use you would make of your Day of Days?

hvd.hn5sby	Are you by any chance — mad?
hvd.hn5sby	Are you hurt?
hvd.hn5sby	Are you in a hurry to break the bank?
hvd.hn5sby	Are you indeed off so early upon my business?
hvd.hn5sby	Are you ready to come to the station- house and make a charge against me? hvd.hn5sby At the Plaza?"

hvd.hn5sby	Beg pardon, sir?
hvd.hn5sby	Between Miss Lessing and that portrait?
hvd.hn5sby	Broke?
hvd.hn5sby	But can you blame me for wondering where your servants've been all through this racket?
hvd.hn5sby	But did n't you, George?
hvd.hn5sby	But he will be expecting to see you home?
hvd.hn5sby	But if he's in —?
hvd.hn5sby	But what under the sun do you want there?
hvd.hn5sby	But who am I,pleaded the little man,"to gaze unblinded upon the sun?"
hvd.hn5sby	But why did n't you come on up?
hvd.hn5sby	But why,he wound up peevishly —"why did n't you tell me Bayard Shaynon lived in the flat below you?"
hvd.hn5sby	But you have promised to marry him?
hvd.hn5sby	But — but who are you?
hvd.hn5sby	But — m'y I ask, sir — wot's it for?

hvd.hn5sby	Dangerous?
hvd.hn5sby	Did you notice? hvd.hn5sby Did you think I'd ask you to run a risk that frightened me?"
hvd.hn5sby	Did you?
hvd.hn5sby	Do I look like a woman who does her own house- work?
hvd.hn5sby	Do I look like the foolish waters?
hvd.hn5sby	Do I understand you're ready for me to take you home?
hvd.hn5sby	Do n't be fool- ish —"Did you hear me, Bayard?
hvd.hn5sby	Do n't you breathe a word of this to Miss Lessing?
hvd.hn5sby	Do you know who you're talking to?
hvd.hn5sby	Do you remember our talk on the way home after Kismet — four hours or several years ago: which is it?
hvd.hn5sby	Does it help — tell you anything? hvd.hn5sby Eh?"

hvd.hn5sby	Only — why not say what you want? hvd.hn5sby Or what if I were to suggest — delicately — that you're within an Inche of the end of your rope?"
hvd.hn5sby	Perhaps,he countered blandly,"you're not aware a burglar has passed through this room?"
hvd.hn5sby	Phony? hvd.hn5sby Quarrelled with his son, you say?"
hvd.hn5sby	Ready?
hvd.hn5sby	Really?
hvd.hn5sby	S'pose some of the boys recognise me?

hvd.hn5sby	Since the fall of the House of Sybarite?
hvd.hn5sby	So that is why you thought she would n't go with us, is it?

hvd.hn5sby	And presently the voice of Western Union was lifted in sour expostulation:"Sa- ay, whatcha s'pose's th'matta wid dis guy?
hvd.hn5sby	And then I hate to have my employees run any risk —""You are summoning a posse, I take it?"
hvd.hn5sby	And what's Lessing but Blessington docked goin'and comin'?"
hvd.hn5sby	And when I see Mr. Red November?"
hvd.hn5sby	And where are your wits?"
hvd.hn5sby	And why( he asked himself, with impatience) need he remain outside when another entered without let or hindrance?
hvd.hn5sby	And yourself?"
hvd.hn5sby	Any message?"
hvd.hn5sby	Are you badly hurt?"
hvd.hn5sby	Are you game to lend me a hand?"
hvd.hn5sby	Arrest him — take him to the station- house — why do n't you?"
hvd.hn5sby	Bayard Shaynon?
hvd.hn5sby	Bucket of grape or a tub of suds?"
hvd.hn5sby	But are n't you a little premature?
hvd.hn5sby	But in the flesh?"
hvd.hn5sby	But what of that?"
hvd.hn5sby	But what's the trouble between you and old man Shaynon?"
hvd.hn5sby	But you?"
hvd.hn5sby	But — short of further dabbling in crime — how?
hvd.hn5sby	Come back — d'you hear?
hvd.hn5sby	Cop or no cop, you — what the devil do you want in my bedroom at this hour of the night?"
hvd.hn5sby	Could this, by any chance, be"that boy"who, Mr. Brian Shaynon had been assured, would n't know where he'd been when he waked?
hvd.hn5sby	Could you —?
hvd.hn5sby	D'yuh want I sh'u'd stir him up now?"
hvd.hn5sby	Dare I believe —?"
hvd.hn5sby	Did she tell you so?"
hvd.hn5sby	Do n't you see —'private sanatorium'?
hvd.hn5sby	Do you know her?"
hvd.hn5sby	Do you talk like that when sober?"
hvd.hn5sby	Do you understand — V"You mean — without him?"
hvd.hn5sby	Facing her, he lifted his scarlet visor Page 197 BEELZEBUB 197"It is permitted?"
hvd.hn5sby	Fire escape?"
hvd.hn5sby	Get me?"
hvd.hn5sby	Good, eh?"
hvd.hn5sby	Had little Perceval any message from the Other Side th'safternoon?"
hvd.hn5sby	Had she, then, recognised him?
hvd.hn5sby	Has high finance turned too risky for your stomach?
hvd.hn5sby	Have you, by any chance, been educated for the bar?"
hvd.hn5sby	Hello — Mason?
hvd.hn5sby	Here — gimme a leg over this fence, will you?"
hvd.hn5sby	His lips hardened as he read the initials pencilled opposite that numeral; they were"B. S.""Bayard Shaynon?"
hvd.hn5sby	How are you go- ing?
hvd.hn5sby	How can we manage to avoid him?"
hvd.hn5sby	How do you know Miss Lessing wo n't go?
hvd.hn5sby	How do you mean?"
hvd.hn5sby	How that strike yo'fancy, suh?
hvd.hn5sby	How you goin'to get around that?"
hvd.hn5sby	How?"
hvd.hn5sby	I do n't s'pose you seen the evenin'paper?"
hvd.hn5sby	IN A BALCONY 209"You do n't mean you would go back to Thirty- eighth Street?"
hvd.hn5sby	If not, why was Red November neglecting all other ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD 159 affairs to press drink upon a man who knew when he had enough?
hvd.hn5sby	Is Teddy going to get the nomination?"
hvd.hn5sby	Is it a bet?"
hvd.hn5sby	Is it possible/ did that?"
hvd.hn5sby	Is it the view?
hvd.hn5sby	Is that clear?
hvd.hn5sby	Is that right?"
hvd.hn5sby	Is they an answer?"

hvd.hn5sby	Lead the way — show me one solitary sign that a burglar has been here —""Perhaps you'd prefer me to withdraw from the case?"
hvd.hn5sby	Mary and Marian's near enough alike, ai n't they?
hvd.hn5sby	May I venture one step farther?
hvd.hn5sby	Molly for Mary — you make that?
hvd.hn5sby	No?"
hvd.hn5sby	Now then: why and how are you go- ing to separate me from my winnings?"
hvd.hn5sby	Now what'll you take to do me a service?"
hvd.hn5sby	Obsequiousness stared:"M'y I ask,'ow so?"
hvd.hn5sby	Or are you dabbling in low- life for the sheer fun of it — to titillate your jaded senses?"
hvd.hn5sby	Or are you trying to hypnotise your burglar by the well- known power of the human eye?"
hvd.hn5sby	Or was there something of an uglier complexion at the bottom of the affair?
hvd.hn5sby	Penfield?"
hvd.hn5sby	Perhaps you've heard of me — Mrs. Jeffer- son Inche?"
hvd.hn5sby	Proved?
hvd.hn5sby	Say a caviare sandwich and a thimbleful of the grape?"
hvd.hn5sby	Shaynon?"
hvd.hn5sby	She wavered and her accents rose in doubt:"Is that true?"
hvd.hn5sby	Should he appeal to the police?
hvd.hn5sby	So it's come to murder, has it?"
hvd.hn5sby	Sure you've heard of me?"

hvd.hn5sby	Tell him I have a message for him, will you?"
hvd.hn5sby	The col- loquy there was distinctly audible:"Mr. Bayard Shaynon?"
hvd.hn5sby	The eyes of Miss Brady flashed ominously; as plain as print, they said:"Does, does he?
hvd.hn5sby	Was an attempt to ensure that desired consummation through the agency of a drug, being made in the open restaurant?
hvd.hn5sby	Was it possible that her intuition had been keen enough to pierce his dis- guise, vizard and all?
hvd.hn5sby	Was simple jealousy and resentment, a desire to"get even,"the whole explanation?
hvd.hn5sby	What I wanna know is: where'd he couple up with the ring- wisdom?"
hvd.hn5sby	What are you going to wear, anyway?"
hvd.hn5sby	What could be done to prevent it?
hvd.hn5sby	What do you know —?
hvd.hn5sby	What for?
hvd.hn5sby	What happened when Mr. Shay- non came home?"
hvd.hn5sby	What more proof do you need of a plot to railroad Marian to a private institution for the insane?'

hvd.hn5sby	What — ah — do you wish me to do?"
hvd.hn5sby	What'd I tell you?"
hvd.hn5sby	What're you going to do?"
hvd.hn5sby	What's more — look at their names?
hvd.hn5sby	What's the matter?
hvd.hn5sby	What's the trouble?
hvd.hn5sby	What's your rush?"
hvd.hn5sby	What's- all- this- now?"
hvd.hn5sby	What've you done with it?"
hvd.hn5sby	When did Miss Lessing come here?
hvd.hn5sby	Where are we?"
hvd.hn5sby	Where did you get it?"

hvd.hn5sby	Who's the girl?"
hvd.hn5sby	Who's this creature you're with?"
hvd.hn5sby	Who's this?"
hvd.hn5sby	Why are you masked?"
hvd.hn5sby	Why die fight- ing when a broken neck would serve as well?
hvd.hn5sby	Why do you ask?
hvd.hn5sby	Why need Shaynon take such elaborate precautions against noises in his own lodgings?
hvd.hn5sby	Why should she?"
hvd.hn5sby	Why these roundabout ways to your purpose?
hvd.hn5sby	Will you tell me, please, in confidence, why you refused my cousin, Peter Kenny, when he asked you to marry him?"
hvd.hn5sby	With a noncommittal grunt, the detective stooped and retrieved this damning bit of evidence, while the r"THE BROOCH 233"Caught with the goods on, eh?"

hvd.hn5sby	You've not been — doing anything fool- ish, have you?"
hvd.hn5sby	Yunno who I mean, do n't you?"
hvd.hn5sby	he called with the asperity of ingrained ennui —"either of youse guys know a guy named Perceval Sybarite't lives here?"
hvd.hn5sby	he cried indignantly —"what the deuce's the matter with you?"
hvd.hn5sby	he exploded —"looky here: where've you been all night?"
hvd.hn5sby	he retorted in suave surprise —"it is n't possible that you missed me?"
hvd.hn5sby	she demanded urgently —"what're you standing there for, like a stone man?"
hvd.hn5sby	the manager broke in ex- citedly —"you have no card of invitation, what?"
hvd.hn5sby	— told you that I'd go far for one who'd been kind and toler- ant to me, if she were in trouble and could use my poor services?"

hvd.hn1gqx	'Papa! — Do you really think that Sydney's opinion, or your opinion, is likely to alter facts?'
hvd.hn1gqx	'Pardon me, it's true,—else how comes it that, at this time of day, I'm without a friend in all the world?'
hvd.hn1gqx	'Partners? — Yes,—we will be partners.

hvd.hn1gqx	'Paul Lessingham? — You need have no fear if you encounter him.'

hvd.hnp3y3	A fairly safe offer on your part, is n't it? ” ob- served Walter. hvd.hnp3y3 And the attics? ” asked Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	Can you carry that packing- case downstairs if I help you get it on your shoulder? ” he asked abruptly. hvd.hnp3y3 Old man, is n't he? ”"I'm not a book of reference about Lord Chob- ham,"answered Dunn.
hvd.hnp3y3	Only one? ” the other repeated in great surprise. hvd.hnp3y3 They seem busy, do n't they? ” she remarked.
hvd.hnp3y3	Unexpected, eh? hvd.hnp3y3 Well, my man, what are you up to? ” he said softly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Well, why should n't I? ” he retorted. hvd.hnp3y3 -New York Tribune NEW YORK: ALFRED · A · KNOPF THE BITTERMEADS MYSTERY By E. R.

hvd.hnp3y3	192 THE BITTERMEADS MYSTERY “ What about Allen? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	46 THE BITTERMEADS MYSTERY"Did you want to see Mr. Dawson? ” she asked, her voice more confident now and even with a ques- tioning note in it.
hvd.hnp3y3	A WOMAN AND A MAN 47 “ Now, do you know what I'm going to do? ” he asked, with an air of roughness and brutality that was a little overdone.
hvd.hnp3y3	A coincidence, I suppose, Ella? ” Ella did not answer.
hvd.hnp3y3	A coincidence, that would be?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Above all, there was the one thing he wished to know, the one consideration that weighed with him above all others — what had become of Ella?
hvd.hnp3y3	After what seemed a long time she said:- “ You asked me a question once- do you remem- ber?'
hvd.hnp3y3	Aloud, and in a grumbling tone he said:- “ What's the matter with my name?
hvd.hnp3y3	And I suppose we had better be on the look- out at the Abbey tomorrow night? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	And if he did, how could he know — that?
hvd.hnp3y3	And where was Deede Dawson?
hvd.hnp3y3	And why was everything so silent and so still?
hvd.hnp3y3	Are you a burglar- or have you come here for some other reason? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	Are you as stupid as you choose to look?
hvd.hnp3y3	But how are you going to do it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	But how did you get here?
hvd.hnp3y3	But what can it be that's making him so sure? ” “ That's probably simple enough, ” said Walter.
hvd.hnp3y3	But, if so, why and where was she hiding?
hvd.hnp3y3	CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE 73 “ Is that your name your real name? ” he mut- tered.
hvd.hnp3y3	CHAPTER VI A DISCOVERY"What do you mean? ” Dunn asked quickly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Could I see her, do you think?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Did she- know?
hvd.hnp3y3	Did that mean, he wondered, that she, too, knew?
hvd.hnp3y3	Did you know him, then? ” “ You know where he is now? ” Dunn repeated.
hvd.hnp3y3	Did you know him, then? ” “ You know where he is now? ” Dunn repeated.
hvd.hnp3y3	Did you know? ” “ We heard about it as we came through the vil- lage,"answered Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you know Wreste Abbey? ” Dunn gave his questioner a scowling look that seemed full of anger and suspicion.
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you know if that's so? ” “ Look here, ” said Dunn, speaking with a great appearance of anger.
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you know where Charley Wright is? ” “ Yes, ” she answered directly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you know why I ca n't have you call yourself Charley Wright? ” Dunn shook his head.
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you know- I think you ought to shave? ” “ Why?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you know- I think you ought to shave? ” “ Why?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you love me?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you remember I told you I might want you to take a sec- ond packing- case away from here in the car one night?
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you remember? ” “ Yes,"he said.
hvd.hnp3y3	Do you remember?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Does n't he rather want a shave?
hvd.hnp3y3	Ella, what would you like done to him?
hvd.hnp3y3	For one thing, what are you after yourself?
hvd.hnp3y3	Give a cove a chance, sir. ” “ You've been looking round, have you? ” said Deede Dawson slowly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Had a pleasant time? ” “ It was not for pleasure we went there, I think, ” she said listlessly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Had it been pinched?
hvd.hnp3y3	He has given me his full confidence at last, and I 196 THE BITTERMEADS MYSTERY “ What do you mean? ”'exclaimed Walter, starting.
hvd.hnp3y3	He's not here, then; but it would be funny would n't it, if there were two Charley Wrights in one room?"
hvd.hnp3y3	How many servants have you? ” “ None, ” she answered.
hvd.hnp3y3	I ai n't done no harm to speak of. ” “ You found one locked, eh? ” said Deede Dawson, and his smile grew still more pleasant and more friendly.
hvd.hnp3y3	I wish I knew what made Charley suspicious of Deede Daw- son in the first place. ” “ You do n't know that? ” Walter asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	I wonder if she could be trusted? ” But then he thought of that photograph on the mantelpiece and his look grew stern and hard again.
hvd.hnp3y3	I'll get the car ready. ” “ This is the afternoon the Abbey is thrown open to visitors, is n't it? ” asked Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	IN THE WOOD 141 Mrs. Dawson said to Ella:- “ How can you talk to that man, my dear?
hvd.hnp3y3	If I do, I shall want you to drive. ” “ Not Miss Cayley? ” asked Dunn.
hvd.hnp3y3	Is any- thing wrong? ” “ That's what I want to know, ” said Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	Is anything wrong?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Is it Mr. Dawson?
hvd.hnp3y3	Is n't it very dangerous your being here?
hvd.hnp3y3	Is n't it? ” “ I think you're playing the fool for some reason of your own,"answered Rupert.
hvd.hnp3y3	Is that it? ” exclaimed Walter.
hvd.hnp3y3	Making the pawn a knight? ” smiled Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	Master John, Master John, where are you? ” CHAPTER III A COINCIDENCE Another voice answered from near by and Dunn scrambled hurriedly to his feet.
hvd.hnp3y3	Neat is n't it?
hvd.hnp3y3	Night driving is always dangerous, I think, do n't you? ” “ There's things more dangerous,"Dunn remarked.
hvd.hnp3y3	Now, can I depend on you? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	Now, suppose I show him to you —?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Oh, there he is, is n't he?
hvd.hnp3y3	Or was it by any chance because she wished to know how things went with him, and what was to be his fate?
hvd.hnp3y3	Or was she ignorant of what it was she had with her?
hvd.hnp3y3	Pray, what did you find out about me?"
hvd.hnp3y3	QUESTION AND ANSWER 63 “ So you did n't look- in that packing- case? ” Deede Dawson repeated.
hvd.hnp3y3	See?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Shall I give you a little good advice? ” “ What?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Shall I give you a little good advice? ” “ What?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Shall I put a bullet through him for you? ” “ He might have treated me worse, I suppose,"said Ella quietly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Shall I try to rush him?
hvd.hnp3y3	She had become very pale also, and her voice was low and strained as she said:- “ Have you had suspicions too? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	She said, still looking at him:- “ Do you know I wish you would shave yourself? ” “ Why?''
hvd.hnp3y3	She said, still looking at him:- “ Do you know I wish you would shave yourself? ” “ Why?''
hvd.hnp3y3	She seemed as if she spotted me right off — I wonder if she did?
hvd.hnp3y3	Should you know him if you saw him?"
hvd.hnp3y3	THE ATTIC OF MYSTERY 83 Do you know, if you knew what was really in it, you'd be surprised?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Take the car on to the garage, will you? ” he added.
hvd.hnp3y3	The same sort of thing that was in that other? ” “ Yes,"answered Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	Though I do n't see myself why hair is n't respectable, do you? ” “ It looks odd, ” answered Ella carelessly.
hvd.hnp3y3	Understand?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Understand?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Was Allen an accomplice of Deede Dawson, or a dupe, or, more probably, a new recruit?
hvd.hnp3y3	Was that, then, the lure which had brought John Clive to meet his death?
hvd.hnp3y3	Well, Ella, Dunn's surprised to see you back so soon, are n't you, Dunn?'
hvd.hnp3y3	Well, that's your affair, but one thing I do want to know- how much does Miss Cayley know?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Well? ” “ It belongs to Lord Chobham, does n't it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Well? ” “ It belongs to Lord Chobham, does n't it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	What are you doing out here at this time of night, Charley Wright? ” “ I heard a noise and came down to see what it was, ” answered Dunn.
hvd.hnp3y3	What are you going to get?
hvd.hnp3y3	What did you find there? ” “ Nothing, sir, not a thing,"protested Dunn.
hvd.hnp3y3	What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hnp3y3	What do you say?
hvd.hnp3y3	What do you say?"
hvd.hnp3y3	What had she meant by that strange start and look she had given him when she had asked if she were to be the next?
hvd.hnp3y3	What have you to say to that?
hvd.hnp3y3	What is it?
hvd.hnp3y3	What is it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	What was it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	What's he to you? ” “ Nothing,"answered Deede Dawson promptly.
hvd.hnp3y3	What's in there? ” Rupert asked, looking at the packing- case, his mouth and lips so suddenly dry he found it difficult to speak at all.
hvd.hnp3y3	What's wrong with it? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	What's your name? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	What? ” he stammered.
hvd.hnp3y3	When they were at a safe distance he turned to Dunn and said:"Is he serious, do you think, or is he playing with her?
hvd.hnp3y3	Where do you come in?
hvd.hnp3y3	Where is Ella? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	Where's he?"
hvd.hnp3y3	Who's he? ” Dunn asked, discon- certed by the question, but not wishing to seem so.
hvd.hnp3y3	Who, then, was left who could have fired the fatal shot?
hvd.hnp3y3	Why are you disguised with all that growth of hair?
hvd.hnp3y3	Why are you here?
hvd.hnp3y3	Why ca n't you speak? ” she cried angrily.
hvd.hnp3y3	Why did you tell us your name was Charley Wright? ” “ I knew a man of that name once, ” he answered.
hvd.hnp3y3	Why not exchange a little information, and then separate calmly, rather than indulge in pistol practice that can only mean the death of us both?
hvd.hnp3y3	Why not?
hvd.hnp3y3	Why not? ” He leaned forward, and before she knew what he in- tended to do he kissed her pale, cool cheek.
hvd.hnp3y3	Why should I- why?!
hvd.hnp3y3	Why?
hvd.hnp3y3	Will you tell me one thing — Are you his friend or not? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	With a man- ner of only slight interest, he answered carelessly:- “ Did she?
hvd.hnp3y3	Without the slightest change of expression, she said:- “ What were you going to do? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	You are sure of everything- or nearly everything — but suppose he changes his mind at the last moment and does n't come after all?'
hvd.hnp3y3	You can drive a car, you say?"
hvd.hnp3y3	You see, I know his plans. ” “ Oh, do you? ” Dunn said as though satisfied.
hvd.hnp3y3	You'll keep to the road, wo n't you? ” Her voice was low and pleasant and so clear Dunn 14 THE BITTERMEADS MYSTERY heard every word distinctly.
hvd.hnp3y3	case?"
hvd.hnp3y3	now?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ A bargain, eh? ” Deede Dawson said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ A meeting?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ And what do you know? ” he asked indifferently.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ And what?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Are n't you well?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Are you a real burglar? ”'she said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Are you armed?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Are you ill? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ But he's not here tonight. ” “ Oh, is he away? ” Dunn asked, his expression almost one of disappointment.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ But what I want to know is why you are so sure?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ By the way, ought n't Rupert to be back soon? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Can he have any way of finding out things I do n't know about?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Can she have known? ” he muttered.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Clive- John Clive, you say?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Dead, is he?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Did n't you wonder why the door was locked? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Did n't you? ” “ Ah, yes yes — to be sure,''answered Deede Daw- son.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Did you find him? ” Dunn did not answer, for indeed he could not, and she said again:- “ Did you find him?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Did you find him? ” Dunn did not answer, for indeed he could not, and she said again:- “ Did you find him?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Did you look in all the attics, then? ” asked Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Did you?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you ever go mad?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you know what it looks like like a disguise? ” “ A disguise? ” he repeated.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you know what it looks like like a disguise? ” “ A disguise? ” he repeated.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you know, I think you had better choose an- cther? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you live all alone here with your mother? ” he asked, watching her keenly.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you suppose I could n't see very well when you came that night that you were not an ordinary burglar?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you think he suspects you? ”"He suspects every one always, ” answered Dunn.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you want it carried any further? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you want me to carry it further, that's all I asked? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Do you want to go on top of the other post to make a pair? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Ella. ”"Why did you do that? ” she said, a little wildly now in her turn.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Flattering perhaps to me, but not quite reason- able, eh? ” “ There's only one thing I want to know from you,"Rupert said slowly.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ For the Lord's sake, Mr. John- only one?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ For what purpose? ” “ To tell them, ” she answered quietly, “ what I--know. ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Has Mr. Clive been here long? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Has the woman come yet? ” Deede Dawson asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Have n't you, though? ” Deede Dawson repeated.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Have you heard two men have been arrested for his murder? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Have you seen Dunn?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Have you? ” she said, a little surprised appar- ently, but in no way flustered or disturbed.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ He certainly is not very handsome, but then that does n't matter, does it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ How can he know that Rupert Dunsmore is com- ing back? ” he said to himself.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ How can you possibly be sure of that? ” “ Never mind how,"answered Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ How do I know I can trust you? ” she said pres- ently, half to herself, half to him.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ How do I know you're tell- ing the truth when you say there's no one else in the house?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ How many of them do you think there were, Mr. John, sir? ” one asked presently.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ How was that? ” “ Accident to his motor- car,"the other replied.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ I ca n't think- do you know anything about him? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ I mean, ” she said slowly, “ well — what do I mean?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ I suppose you mean you're wondering what's in it? ” said Deede Dawson sharply.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ If Charley Wright do n't suit, how will Robert Dunn do?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Is any- thing wrong? ” “ Do you remember John Clive? ” he asked, dis- regarding this.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Is any- thing wrong? ” “ Do you remember John Clive? ” he asked, dis- regarding this.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Is that a threat?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Is there any one there? ” it said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ It saves trouble. ” “ Does it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ It's a funny thing now- suppose my name was Charley Wright, then there would be two Charley Wrights in this attic, eh?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Look here, how do I know you mean all you say about Rupert Dunsmore?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Lord Chobham has a very valuable collection of plate and jewellery and so on, has n't he? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Lum- me, ” he cried, “ is that where you keep the silver?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ May I ask one question?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ May I ask why? ” he murmured.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ May I ask you another question? ” She nodded.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ May I smoke? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ My God, what have I done? ” he thought.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Nothing wrong with the name, is there? ” Dunn muttered again.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Now I've answered AN AVOWAL 103 your question, will you answer me one?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, is that all?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, is that on the cards, too? ” exclaimed Walter.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, it is, is it?''
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, please, is any one there? ” “ Is that you, Ella? ” Deede Dawson called back.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, please, is any one there? ” “ Is that you, Ella? ” Deede Dawson called back.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, what is the matter? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, what's the matter? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, you know my name, do you, you scoundrel? ” Deede Dawson said, a little surprised.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh, you would, would you? ” muttered Dunn to himself.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Oh- did you? ” he said, with an effort.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Old Mr. Clive was killed, was he?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Only cats, ” Deede Dawson exclaimed disgustedly, and from behind, nearer the house, Dunn called:- “ Who's there?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Pretty clever, eh? ” he said, admiring his own work with much complacence.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Ready, Ella? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Shall I make the third? ” he wondered.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Shall you be able to find your way, even with the lantern?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Shoot away, why do n't you shoot? ” he sneered.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Should I know him? ” repeated Dunn contemp- tously.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Should I know myself? ” “ That's good, ” said Deede Dawson again.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Something gone wrong? ” “ What are you doing?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Something gone wrong? ” “ What are you doing?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ That's just what Ella said — what's that? ” For instinctively Dunn had raised his hand, but he lowered it again at once.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Think so? ” he said, and gave his peculiar laugh that had so little mirth in it.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ This afternoon?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, Dunn, what is it? ” he said as pleasantly as he always spoke.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, ca n't you say something? ” he asked roughly, annoyed by her persistent silence.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, did you enjoy your visit to Wreste Abbey? ”"No,"answered Dunn roughly.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, how have you enjoyed yourself?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, my man, ” he asked,"what have you got to say for yourself? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, my man; had a good sleep? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Well, what next? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Were they, though? ” said Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What about it if I do? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What can be the matter with the door? ” she ex- claimed aloud, and she crossed the room towards it with a quick and somewhat impatient movement.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What did you find there? ” “ There was n't no one in them, ” Dunn answered.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What do you think of that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What do you want?''
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What for? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What have you burned there? ” she asked, as if she suspected it was something of importance he had destroyed.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What is the matter? ” she asked, in a low voice.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What is the matter? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What is the matter? ” she said again.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What is the matter? ” she said in a voice of some concern.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What should I want him for? ” growled Dunn, more and more disconcerted, as he saw that he was not playing his part too well.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What should there be?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What was in that packing- case?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What would happen? ” “ You see, I trust you,"he answered bitterly.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What's happened? ”'the other asked sharply and anxiously.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ What's wrong with it? ” Doubtful and afraid, Deede Dawson stood hesitant.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Who are you? ” the girl stammered.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Who else could it be? ” she asked in a low voice.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Who is there in the house besides you? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Who — who did you say?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Who?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Whose is it?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why ca n't you say something instead of just shaking your head? ” “ You see, I've asked you so many questions, ” he said slowly.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why do n't you speak?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why do you have all that hair on your face?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why do you keep staring so?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why do you look like that- Charley Wright? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why not? ” “ Yes, you would be surprised, ” Deede Dawson repeated, and suddenly shouted into the darkness: “ Are you ready?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why not? ” “ Yes, you would be surprised, ” Deede Dawson repeated, and suddenly shouted into the darkness: “ Are you ready?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why should I want a disguise? ” “ Do you think I'm quite a fool because I'm a woman? ” she asked impatiently.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why should I want a disguise? ” “ Do you think I'm quite a fool because I'm a woman? ” she asked impatiently.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why should poachers kill him?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why should they want to?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why- what's wrong about that?"
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Why? ”.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Would you like to know? ” asked Deede Dawson slowly with his slow, perpetual smile.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Wrists hurt you much? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Yes, ” he answered, in a lower voice still, he said: “ Will you tell me something?
hvd.hnp3y3	“ You never looked? ” repeated Deede Dawson.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ You wo n't disturb mother, will you? ” she asked quietly when he had finished.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ You've had a taste of penal servitude before, I suppose? ” Deede Dawson asked.
hvd.hnp3y3	“ Your mother —? ” “ She has n't wakened, ” Ella answered.
hvd.hn5rzn	Are you sober? ” asked Rachel, rising quickly. hvd.hn5rzn Can you stand if I lift you over? ” he said, leaning against the bars.
hvd.hn5rzn	Crazy?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you go home the same way?
hvd.hn5rzn	I? hvd.hn5rzn Is it a truth? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5rzn	It is a small, old- fashioned residence, but very large for the requirements of two women? ” continued Steingall. hvd.hn5rzn Shall I go on? ” she said.
hvd.hn5rzn	Tell me,said the tortured Meiklejohn; “ why have you returned to New York?
hvd.hn5rzn	Think you're taking an easier road to the white lights, I guess? ” “ Guess again, Fowle, ” said Carshaw. hvd.hn5rzn Well, and how get her there? ” “ That has to be carefully planned, and even more carefully executed.
hvd.hn5rzn	What do you want? hvd.hn5rzn What is the alternative? ” 10 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Capture, and a mad rage.
hvd.hn5rzn	What're givin ’ me? hvd.hn5rzn Who is that I hear speaking?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did n't I go?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did n't you ring up Mulberry Street last night, Senator? ” he said. hvd.hn5rzn You? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn5rzn	146 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Oh, are you safe?"
hvd.hn5rzn	201 202 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ How can I give any clues? ” cried the be- wildered landlady.
hvd.hn5rzn	22 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Is n't there a motor launch on the yacht? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5rzn	242 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ I?
hvd.hn5rzn	278 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Ca n't you two shut up?"
hvd.hn5rzn	312 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Do you know what happened to a frog when he tried to emulate a bull? ” he said.
hvd.hn5rzn	48 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Say partly furnished. ” “ Ever had any boarders? ”"No."
hvd.hn5rzn	74 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ Sure?"
hvd.hn5rzn	A DARING CRIME 23 “ Where is the Senator? ” he cried, turning on the gaping Nolan.
hvd.hn5rzn	A policeman in plain clothes, hiding in a neighboring barn, saw him depart and hailed him: “ Any news, Doc? ” “ Yes, ” was the reply.
hvd.hn5rzn	A very old friend?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Above all, why did you straightway commit a crime that can not fail to stir the whole country? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Am I dreaming?
hvd.hn5rzn	Am I to regard myself as thus privileged?".
hvd.hn5rzn	Am I, then, actually to go? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5rzn	An', for the love of Mike, who was the first wan? ” he demanded, when assured that the latest arrival was really the Senator.
hvd.hn5rzn	An', say, why mope at home evenings?
hvd.hn5rzn	And Meiklejohn?
hvd.hn5rzn	And even if they do, please do n't forget that I'm here now! ” “ But why should they be so terribly anxious to find me?
hvd.hn5rzn	And is this sort of aunt'with you here? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	And what charge can we bring against Voles and company?
hvd.hn5rzn	And when he should actually catch them up- what then?
hvd.hn5rzn	And who is this gentlemen?"
hvd.hn5rzn	And who will stop a steward's tongue from wagging?
hvd.hn5rzn	And you, on your part, promise that if you have need of money you will let me know?
hvd.hn5rzn	And you? ” “ I- have almost promised to dine en famille with the Towers."
hvd.hn5rzn	And your mother — who and where is she? ” asked Carshaw.
hvd.hn5rzn	Anyhow, what busi- ness is it of yours? ” Fowle's anger was wasted, since Carshaw seemed not to hear.
hvd.hn5rzn	Are you certain there was nothing else? ” “ No I did n't like how could I peer and pry-""You'd make a bum detective.
hvd.hn5rzn	Are you mad?
hvd.hn5rzn	Are you sure you are not injured? ” At another time he would have laughed, but her worn condition demanded the utmost for- bearance.
hvd.hn5rzn	As for you, Mr. Steingall, do you know what the lawyers told Rex and me soon after our marriage? ” “ No, ma'am, ” said Steingall.
hvd.hn5rzn	Assisting the police?"
hvd.hn5rzn	At last, approaching a girl among the sightseers, she put a timid ques- tion: “ Can you tell me what is the matter?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Bless your little heart, you just stan'pat, an'you kin make a dress outer dollar bills. ” “ But what have I to do with all this?
hvd.hn5rzn	Brought that wad? ” Tower was the last man breathing to handle this queer situation discreetly.
hvd.hn5rzn	But I've given orders —"“ You dough- faced dub, do n't you see you create suspicion by refusing to meet people?
hvd.hn5rzn	But have we no business to discuss before you send me away in this fashion?
hvd.hn5rzn	But how to get her address?
hvd.hn5rzn	But perhaps we may butt into trouble? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	But was it in a dream, that voice which she heard?
hvd.hn5rzn	But what could they do?
hvd.hn5rzn	But what?
hvd.hn5rzn	But who had prompted her to this heartless deed?
hvd.hn5rzn	But who would have imag- ined that the worst and most deadly of them might be the mother of her Rex?
hvd.hn5rzn	But why, then, was I not loved the day before yesterday? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	But you, William, with your Senatorship and high record in Wall Street- really the downfall would be terrible! ”"What can we do with her?
hvd.hn5rzn	But, as a financial mag- nate, he understands things. ” 212 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY “ How shall we live?"
hvd.hn5rzn	But, somewhere, had she not been conscious of a light at some moment?
hvd.hn5rzn	But, you have some one in there with you? ”"In here — where?"
hvd.hn5rzn	But, you have some one in there with you? ”"In here — where?"
hvd.hn5rzn	By the way, how did you happen onto the Senator's connection with the affair?"
hvd.hn5rzn	By the way, will you be at this luncheon to- morrow? ” “ Not I,"laughed Tower.
hvd.hn5rzn	CHAPTER XV THE VISITOR “ ARE you Miss Winifred Bartlett?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Came here with Bobby Forrest. ” “ Anybody called for her recently? ” “ I think not, but I'll soon find out. ” No.
hvd.hn5rzn	Did Miss Bartlett owe you anything?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Did n't she tell you?
hvd.hn5rzn	Did not Winifred's angel face, twisted into misery by your lies, cause you one pang of remorse? ” Mrs. Carshaw rose unsteadily.
hvd.hn5rzn	Did she love you for your supposed wealth? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Did you see how he grinned when you described that vile weed as good tobacco'?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do n't you believe me?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do n't you see, Mr. Clancy, that it was I, and not poor Tower, whom he meant attacking?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do n't you understand?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do n't you, Fowle? ” and Carshaw gave the disappointed wooer a look of such manifest purpose that something had to happen quickly.
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you agree?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you credit what I say?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you ever entertain any visitors? ” “ None whatever.
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you get me?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you know anything about it? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you know?''
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you mean to throw off my help as well as myself? ” “ I shall manage.
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you realize what that 164 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY means, if she ever gets there?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you smoke?
hvd.hn5rzn	Do you, then, belong to the smart set?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Does it hurt- much? ”"Where's the use of talking?
hvd.hn5rzn	Does it hurt- much? ”"Where's the use of talking?
hvd.hn5rzn	Does n't it? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Does she sus- pect that, too? ” “ What, was that a ruse?
hvd.hn5rzn	Does she sus- pect that, too? ” “ What, was that a ruse?
hvd.hn5rzn	Does your Winifred sing? ” Carshaw drew his chair closer to his mother and placed an arm around her shoulder.
hvd.hn5rzn	Even in Bridgeport what could be do?
hvd.hn5rzn	First of all, do you under- stand that my son is very much in love with you? ” “ I- you should not ask me I may have thought that he liked me.
hvd.hn5rzn	First, where is Winifred? ” He hesitated.
hvd.hn5rzn	First, you must get back your Winifred, Carshaw, and take care that you keep her when you get her. ” “ But how?
hvd.hn5rzn	For instance, did you call on Rachel Craik after leaving Eighty- Sixth Street? ” Meiklejohn's jaws closed like a steel trap.
hvd.hn5rzn	For instance, who would have expected your double to walk onto the terrace at the landing- stage at nine o'clock precisely last night?
hvd.hn5rzn	Had she dreamed this, or had she seen it?
hvd.hn5rzn	Has n't the Bureau kept you informed? ” Clancy sighed.
hvd.hn5rzn	Hashemtold you so?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Have n't the newspapers announced your presence on the Sans Souci?
hvd.hn5rzn	Have you any news? ”: “ News!
hvd.hn5rzn	Have you not heard that there is a question of marriage? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Have you, by the way, ever seen a man called Voles? ” “ Voles?
hvd.hn5rzn	Have you, by the way, ever seen a man called Voles? ” “ Voles?
hvd.hn5rzn	He bowed and held out the paper, saying:"Perhaps you have not seen this morning's newspaper? ” At the same time he presented ber the note.
hvd.hn5rzn	He kicked like a mule, of course, but I made it an order. ” “ What of the local police? ” said Carhsaw.
hvd.hn5rzn	He said if I did n't announce him he- “ What name? ” interrupted Meiklejohn.
hvd.hn5rzn	He's straight, is n't he?"
hvd.hn5rzn	His name was- let me see now_""Voles? ” suggested Steingall.
hvd.hn5rzn	How can a bit of unthinking generosity on my part be construed as participation in a crime?"
hvd.hn5rzn	How comes it that you are employed in such work? ” “ It was the best I could find,"she volun- teered.
hvd.hn5rzn	How could I marry Winifred under false pretenses?"
hvd.hn5rzn	How could a girl run away in that fashion?"
hvd.hn5rzn	How do I know?".
hvd.hn5rzn	How old are you???
hvd.hn5rzn	How old are you???
hvd.hn5rzn	How old are you???
hvd.hn5rzn	How shall I describe her?
hvd.hn5rzn	I ca n't altogether blame poor Rex, for men are not very rational creatures, are they?
hvd.hn5rzn	I ca n't help myself. ” “ You are sorry for me, then? ”"Oh, yes. ” “ But how came I, then, to have the opposite impression so strongly?
hvd.hn5rzn	I ca n't help myself. ” “ You are sorry for me, then? ”"Oh, yes. ” “ But how came I, then, to have the opposite impression so strongly?
hvd.hn5rzn	I did not know you cared"“ You- you did not know that I cared?
hvd.hn5rzn	I do n't wish any other person to occupy them. ” “ Do you think, sir, she will not come back to- day?"
hvd.hn5rzn	I knew I'd get another wad from you to- night. ” “ Why did you want to murder me, Ralph? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	I knew her when I was eigh- teen, and she was elancée then. ” “ What does elancée mean? ” “ On the loose.".
hvd.hn5rzn	I must have time to reflect, at least. ” “ Then, when? ” “ Perhaps to- morrow night.
hvd.hn5rzn	I see here one who posed as my aunt for many years,"“ Posed, Winnie?"
hvd.hn5rzn	I spoke of Helen Tower yesterday as of an old sweet- heart — was that it?
hvd.hn5rzn	I understand why you came to Burlington, but where is Stein- gall all this time? ” “ That big stiff!
hvd.hn5rzn	I wonder why?
hvd.hn5rzn	If the police knew so much that might rea- sonably be regarded as secret, of what avail was further concealment?
hvd.hn5rzn	Indeed, why should a chivalrous young man pay heed to Fowle when he could gaze his fill into Winifred's limpid eyes and listen to her tuneful voice?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is he dead? ” “ No, in prison.
hvd.hn5rzn	Is it Wini- fred?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is it serious?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is it very bad?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is n't it?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is n't that lucky?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is she one of those scheming chorus- girls? ” “ It appears so. ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Is she strong- willed enough to resist cajoling, and seek the aid of the law if force is threatened?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Is that all you're going to say?
hvd.hn5rzn	Is that understood? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5rzn	Is there no law in this State; nor any one who cares whether or not the law is obeyed?
hvd.hn5rzn	It consisted almost entirely of the bitter and oft- repeated plaint: “ What was a car like that doin'here, any- how?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Jim, who had been nudged earnestly several times by his companion, cried quickly: “ Is n't your friend goin'along, too, mister?"
hvd.hn5rzn	MOTHER AND SON · 239 “ Have you found her? ” “ No, mother."
hvd.hn5rzn	May we walk on a little way together, and then you will tell me? ” They walked on together, and for a longer time than either of them realized.
hvd.hn5rzn	Mother, in fu- ture, you will work with me, not against me?"
hvd.hn5rzn	No one suspects a parson-see?
hvd.hn5rzn	No?
hvd.hn5rzn	Now, about Meikle- john?
hvd.hn5rzn	Now, am I to go into details? ” “ 1-really-1-"“ Very well.
hvd.hn5rzn	Now, will you be good enough to fill in the blanks?
hvd.hn5rzn	Now, you do n't know good, meaning real, tobacco from bad, do you? ” “ I know whether or not I like the scent of it,"persisted Winifred.
hvd.hn5rzn	Now, you have n't killed anybody, have you? ” Winifred smiled.
hvd.hn5rzn	Oh, I only wish"“ How do you know my name? ” “ What, the “ Winifred'and the ‘ Bartlett?'
hvd.hn5rzn	Oh, I only wish"“ How do you know my name? ” “ What, the “ Winifred'and the ‘ Bartlett?'
hvd.hn5rzn	Oh, I quite shivered! ” “ After we have eaten will you let us drive you in that direction in my car? ” said Car- shaw.
hvd.hn5rzn	Run away home to your ma! ” “ Where have you been? ”'inquired Mrs. Car- shaw when her son entered.
hvd.hn5rzn	See?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Shall I give you details of the Costa Rica cotton concession, arranged be- tween you, and Jacob, and Helen Tower?
hvd.hn5rzn	Shall we start economizing at once?
hvd.hn5rzn	She did not come in until half past nine. ” “ Did she go out again last night? ” “ I do not know.
hvd.hn5rzn	She flirting with me?
hvd.hn5rzn	Should he not face his fellow- members at the Four Hun- dred Club?
hvd.hn5rzn	So now is your chance, Winifred. ” “ But what am I to do?"
hvd.hn5rzn	So the house is empty?".
hvd.hn5rzn	Suppose we dine together?
hvd.hn5rzn	That is all. ” “ Questions about what? ” Winifred's natural dignity came to her aid.
hvd.hn5rzn	That is, I'll get the New Jersey police to hold them. ” “ On what charge? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	The visit of Mrs. Carshaw, then, was only a part of the same determined scheme?
hvd.hn5rzn	The weather was mild, and he mounted to the roof... “ Now, who in the world will Senator Meikle- john meet on the landing- stage? ” he mused.
hvd.hn5rzn	There had been no bidding, and his partner screamed in protest: “ Senator, what are you doing? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	There is safety in numbers. ” “ Do you mean that East Orange is a place favorable to our search? ” “ Of course it is.
hvd.hn5rzn	Therefore, until the moment when her ALL ROADS LEAD TO EAST ORANGE 197 “ What is it all about? ” he demanded, when Winifred was quite breathless.
hvd.hn5rzn	They have let you out, then? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5rzn	Think now, and tell me whether it is not a dis- turbing thing that you never saw this man face to face?"
hvd.hn5rzn	This night, when there were no longer two, but only one, the question arose strongly in her mind- why had there never been more than two?
hvd.hn5rzn	To sleep there?
hvd.hn5rzn	Too soon for any planning as to the future, I suppose? ” 150 THE NEW LINK 151 “ We talked of that in the train.
hvd.hn5rzn	Walk to the hotel?
hvd.hn5rzn	Was I wrong?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Was she not one of the few who had literally seen it?
hvd.hn5rzn	We have several rooms unoccupied. ” “ And unfurnished?"
hvd.hn5rzn	We must have been watched, or how could that man have found us out?
hvd.hn5rzn	Well, you know Gainsborough's picture of the Duchess of Devonshire?
hvd.hn5rzn	Were you anxious, then, about me? ” “ I was naturally anxious, since it was I who"“ Ah, now, do n't spoil it by giving a reason.
hvd.hn5rzn	What about comin'along down- town to- night?
hvd.hn5rzn	What about dinner?
hvd.hn5rzn	What are you doing awake at this hour of the morning, roaming about the house?
hvd.hn5rzn	What better place could he choose?
hvd.hn5rzn	What d'ye know about that?"
hvd.hn5rzn	What do I care?
hvd.hn5rzn	What do you sug- gest?"
hvd.hn5rzn	What else have I to work for if not for his happiness? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	What have we done, I'd like to know?
hvd.hn5rzn	What is it all about? ” “ Ah, I must not be indiscreet.
hvd.hn5rzn	What is it?"
hvd.hn5rzn	What lady? ” “ Your mother, sir.
hvd.hn5rzn	What news can I hope for except that Ronald's poor, maimed body has been found? ”"Helen, this is terrible.
hvd.hn5rzn	What on earth did I say?
hvd.hn5rzn	What queer trick of fate, then, had brought her to Brown, Son& Brown's in the spring of that year, and kept her there?
hvd.hn5rzn	What sort of things? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	What was he to do now?
hvd.hn5rzn	What was his excuse? ” “ He said you were the talk of the clubs- that Helen Tower —".
hvd.hn5rzn	What were you doing on Riverside Drive? ”"I walk that way every morning unless it is raining."
hvd.hn5rzn	What will you do?"
hvd.hn5rzn	What wrong have I done to any one? ” “ None, I believe. ” “ Surely I have a right to some explanation."
hvd.hn5rzn	What's up?"
hvd.hn5rzn	What's your name? ” “ No matter.
hvd.hn5rzn	When did your mother die?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Where are your parents?''
hvd.hn5rzn	Where does she live?
hvd.hn5rzn	Where have I seen you before?
hvd.hn5rzn	Where have you been all these weeks?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Where is the hurry?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Where is the need now?
hvd.hn5rzn	Which do you prefer to en- counter- me or an emissary of the police?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Who are they who claim 230 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY kinship?
hvd.hn5rzn	Who could it be, she wondered, whom she would have to see there?
hvd.hn5rzn	Who has reaped the reward of my misdeeds, I'd like to know- I, an outcast and a wanderer, or you, living here like Lord Tomnoddy?
hvd.hn5rzn	Who is Rachel?
hvd.hn5rzn	Who is it? ” cried Winifred with a fearful shrillness now.
hvd.hn5rzn	Who sent you to Winifred? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Who sent you to her? ” “ Senator Meiklejohn, ” said Mrs. Carshaw defiantly.
hvd.hn5rzn	Who were the two men?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why any boat?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did I not trust you?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did he conspire with you and my mother to carry off Winifred Bartlett? ”"I- don't know."
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did he dread this girl?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did n't you ask her sooner?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did n't you cough it up earlier?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why did this same Ralph vanish from Vermont after her father's death'by accident'?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why do you never mention my father and mother?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why does a wealthy and influential Senator join in the plot against her, invoking the aid of your mother and of Mrs. Tower?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why does n't the man turn over a new leaf and become good? ” “ Oh, hold your tongue! ” said William.
hvd.hn5rzn	Why have we left New York?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why have you brought me here? ” “ To stop you from playing Meiklejohn's game.
hvd.hn5rzn	Why have you given up your place on Long Island? ” “ A whim of Rex's, my dear.
hvd.hn5rzn	Why should you give them five hundred dollars, apparently as blackmail? ” Clancy was exceedingly disappointed by the result of this thunderbolt.
hvd.hn5rzn	Why wait?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Why's Fowle goin'east in a taxi?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why?
hvd.hn5rzn	Why?".
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you be ready in five minutes? ” She sat in the lounge, and soon saw some bag- gage descending.
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you be seated?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you do just what I tell you, without asking for any reason? ” “ If I can, mein Herr."
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you do this? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you join me?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you kindly explain how it arose?"
hvd.hn5rzn	Will you show yourself sometimes to comfort me?'
hvd.hn5rzn	Wo n't you be dear and kind, and tell me? ” “ You have done nothing."
hvd.hn5rzn	Would it not be best to leave them their liberty and watch them? ” “ I've always found a seven days'remand very helpful, ” mused the detective.
hvd.hn5rzn	Would she be asked to sing, she wondered?
hvd.hn5rzn	Would you care to see them?"
hvd.hn5rzn	You admire the girl? ” “ Who would n't?
hvd.hn5rzn	You admire the girl? ” “ Who would n't?
hvd.hn5rzn	You are a sweetly pretty girl, do you know?
hvd.hn5rzn	You are quite sure of her words? ” he persisted.
hvd.hn5rzn	You ca n't prevent me doing that, can you?
hvd.hn5rzn	You will not adopt harsh measures, I trust?"
hvd.hn5rzn	You're not mean- in'to stay home with your folks, I suppose? ”.. “ That is kind of you, ” said Winifred.
hvd.hn5rzn	You've read of the Yacht Mys- tery and the lassoing of Ronald Tower? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	came the harsh whisper? ” “ No.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ A cop? ” and Voles glanced around the otherwise deserted lobby.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ All the time? ” “ Most of the time. ” “ Well, I must not catechise you.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Am I loved, then?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And as to the good old firm of Carshaw- prosperous as usual, I hope? ” said Meiklejohn, balancing an egg- shell tea- cup.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And as to your father? ” “ I have no father.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And how long have you been employed in Messrs. Brown, Son& Brown's bookbinding department? ” “ About six months."
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And my son comes to see you? ” “ He comes- yes, he comes."
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And of that passée creature?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And where is it?".
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And where is the young lady now? ” in- quired Steingall, when Carshaw's story reached its end.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And where? ” Winifred reddened slightly.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ And, now that I've seen you, what sort of weird specimen can Mr. Ralph V. Voles, of Chicago, be?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Anything we can do, Senator? ” “ About that poor woman, Rachel Craik"“ Oh, she's all right!
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Anything wrong? ” inquired the manager.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Are you coming to see me? ” she wailed.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Are you ready, Miss Bartlett? ” he said.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ At eleven to- night? ” “ Yes, ” she murmured.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ At this hour- in a car? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Because my line of talk was a trifle too rough, I suppose. ” “ Did he know you were there to meet me? ” “ Ca n't say.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Been here before?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Blame, my good woman, who is imputing blame? ” he blazed at her.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Busy, Mr. Carshaw? ” inquired some one when an impatient young man got in touch with Mulberry Street after an exasperating delay.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But has he had the effrontery to mention her in this way to other ladies?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But no relatives? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But that is rather defiant of everything, is it not?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But there is nothing “ Yes; it is reported that he intends to marry you. ” “ And is that what the scandal is about?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But why?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But you are not serious?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But you will at least let me know where you are?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But, is nothing being done? ” Nevertheless, CARSHAW TAKES UP THE CHASE 117 Carshaw sat down and took a cigar.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ But- where have I seen you before? ” asked Mrs. Carshaw suddenly, making play with a pair of mounted eye- glasses.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Ca n't yer see it's empty?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Ca n't you forget her for half an hour? ” “ She's gone, I tell you.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Can I do anything? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Certainly, Senator. ” “ May I ask to whom I am speaking?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Could I help coming? ” cried he.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ D'ye really mean it? ” “ Does my voice sound as if I were joking, Bates?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ D'ye really mean it? ” “ Does my voice sound as if I were joking, Bates?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ D'ye think a police launch'ud be foolin'around with a tow at this time o'day if it was n't something special? ” persisted the first speaker.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Did I get your story right when you came in? ” he said.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Did they do anything to you for knocking down Mr. Fowle? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you go straight home? ” Winifred remembered Mr. Fowle's query, and smiled again.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you happen to know if there is any one on board looking after the interests of the syn- dicate? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you happen to know where this girl is to be found? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you live here all alone?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you live near?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you make good coffee, Phillips? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you mean now to arrest those in the house? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you mean that she will be kept in prison? ” she said, with a break in her voice.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you mean to say that your aunt never 50 THE BARTLETT MYSTERY sees any one but yourself and casual callers, such as tradespeople?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you think I'd risk my neck if I were likely to be pinched?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you want it pres- singly? ” “ Why, yes.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you want to see me in jail?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you wish to forget the incident of yes- terday evening? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Do you?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Good gracious, Miss Barnard, what's the matter? ” he cried, for Polly was pretty enough to hold many an eye.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Has any complete search of Winifred's rooms been made?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Have you a megaphone?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Have you gone crazy with the heat? ” inquired Carshaw.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Have you traveled far? ” she asked, by way of talk while laying the table.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How could I forget?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How could you possibly know that I was here? ” 128 THE TWO CARS 129 “ From the police. ” “ The police again?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How could you possibly know that I was here? ” 128 THE TWO CARS 129 “ From the police. ” “ The police again?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How dare you follow me here and say such vile things?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How did you happen on my address? ” he asked smilingly.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How- on principle? ” “ You see, Senator, I may have to arrest you, and I never eat with any man with whom I may clash professionally."
hvd.hn5rzn	“ How? ” “ It should yield many more chapters.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ I?".
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is Miss Craik on the phone? ” “ No.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is it the same little influence at work upon him as some months ago? ” asked Meiklejohn, bending nearer, a real confidential crony.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is n't he clever and fertile in device?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is n't that the Police Headquarters?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is that her real name?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is that you, Mr. Petch?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Is this the only entrance?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Man alive, I hate humbug as much as any man; but do n't you see that the Bureau must make sure of its case before it acts?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Mean- while, be ready to come with me to East Orange to- morrow at 8 A.M."“ Why not to- night?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Need you ask?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Nineteen last birthday. ” “ When were you born? ” “ On June 6, 1894.".
hvd.hn5rzn	“ No servants, of course?'
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Not about me? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Now last night, for instance, was your aunt at home when you reached the house? ” “ No; she was out.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Now, then, what's the trouble?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Oh, Mr. Clancy, is it?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Or the Bureau? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Rex, have you driven me wholly from your heart?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Rex,"she murmured brokenly, hiding her face, “ do you forgive me? ” “ Mother, I ask you to forgive me if I said harsh things."
hvd.hn5rzn	“ So you are determined to marry her? ” “ Unquestionably.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ So you will always come, even if you prom- ise not to? ” “ But I wo n't promise not to!
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Sober?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Surely there was some motive?".
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Surprised to see me? ” he began.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ That all?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ That you, Nolan?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ That you?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Then she has told you?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Then, in heaven's name, who is the man who has just been pulled into the river? ” “ Tower! ” gasped the Senator.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ They're like as two peas in a pod, ai n't they?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ To Vermont. ” “ Still pursuing that girl?".
hvd.hn5rzn	“ We've got the girl, Ralph! ”"Got the girl, have we?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Well, any news? ” was always Carshaw's first question as he placed his hat over his stick on a chair.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Well, how is the arm feeling now? ” he said pleasantly, when he entered the patient's bed- room.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Whadda ya mean after her? ” cried an- other girl.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What are you going to do? ” he asked sus- piciously.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What do you earn? ” “ Eight dollars a week. ” “ Is that the average amount paid to the other girls? ” “ Slightly above the average.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What do you earn? ” “ Eight dollars a week. ” “ Is that the average amount paid to the other girls? ” “ Slightly above the average.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What does that mean? ” “ Well- a bit free and easy, doe- n't it?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What does that mean? ” “ Well- a bit free and easy, doe- n't it?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What favor, sir?'
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What has happened?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What have I said that you should fly off the trolley in that way?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What have you done with her?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What hold has Meiklejohn over you? ” he went on.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What is she like? ” she went on.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What is the girl's name? ” she asked.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What is?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What on earth is the matter?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What reason did she give for such a singu- lar choice? ” he went on.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What right have you or he to take me away from my work to a police- station?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What right have you to treat me in this way?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What's bitten you, Frog? ” inquired the chief.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What's the trouble? ” he went on, seeing that her lips were twitching.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What's up now? ” said Fowle in mock sur- prise.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What's up?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What, then?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What? ” shrieked the Senator in a shrill falsetto.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ What?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Where are the others?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Where does that door lead to? ” he hissed, pointing.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Where is she? ” he cried.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Whither bound? ” “ To see Belasco's latest.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Who is this lady? ” asked Winifred.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Who lives in Gateway House? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Who told you? ” The manager's tone grew a trifle less cor- dial.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Who'd have thought it of you, Rachel? ” he cackled.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why are you buttin'in? ” he cried furi- ously.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why are you unwilling to charge them with attempted murder? ” said Steingall, for Car- shaw had stipulated there should be no legal proceedings.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why have you allowed Miss Bartlett to be spirited away?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why is she called Bartlett?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why so? ” asked Winifred.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why, did n't you hear how he spoke up for her this mornin'when Ole Mother Sugg handed her the lemon about bein'late?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Why, in the room, aunt. ” “ I?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Will you be dining at home, Rex?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Winifred, ” said Carshaw solemnly, “ will you consider me your friend from this night? ” “ You are kind.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ With a woman described as your aunt, and known as Miss Rachel Craik?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Wo n't you come with me? ”.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Yes, but what boat?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Yes, it seems a pitiable thing! ” “ So — what do you say?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You are not fond of me, Winnie?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You do n't wish me to start housebreaking, do you?
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You know Mrs. Ronald Tower? ” he said.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You know Senator Meiklejohn by sight?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You live in East One Hundred and Twelfth Street?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You mean she is at liberty?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You might give'em an eye. ” “ Why on earth does n't Carshaw marry the girl? ” said Clancy.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You take the Third Avenue L, I suppose?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You would n't care to take poison, would you? ” and Clancy shot the words at Winifred so sharply that she was almost startled.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You're broke? ” “ Well- er-"“ You were fired from your last job.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You've consulted them?"
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You, Rachel? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You? ” he shrieked in a shrill falsetto.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ You? ” “ Yes, I.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Young- nice- looking? ” asked Winifred, looking down at the crochet work in her lap.
hvd.hn5rzn	“ Your address is East One Hundred and Twelfth Street, ai n't it?
hvd.hw2bzi	. “ Hang it all, do you want to suffocate a fel- low?
hvd.hw2bzi	.6 Now, then, who are you, sir? ” he demanded sternly.

hvd.hw2bzi	But this being the case, how could it have been she who fell down the stairs?
hvd.hw2bzi	But what did she do it for, eh?
hvd.hw2bzi	But what possible reason could any woman, gipsy or lady, have for coming into your chamber at that hour of the night?
hvd.hw2bzi	But why should Lord Meldrum seek the woods in the gathering twilight?
hvd.hw2bzi	But why should she wish it?
hvd.hw2bzi	But, granting that she had motive, how was I to prove her presence in the library at two o'clock?
hvd.hw2bzi	But, however it was, why had her manner toward him been so curt and irritated?
hvd.hw2bzi	But, pondered Mr. Clavering, did he know any reason outside of poli- tics why Meldrum should not marry his sister — anything against Meldrum?
hvd.hw2bzi	By the way, Clavering, ” with abrupt directness, “ how did you happen to come here? ” Mr. Clavering hesitated.
hvd.hw2bzi	Clavering, did you ever see more beautiful ferns than these?
hvd.hw2bzi	Con- found it all, would n't you drink if you had your neck in a noose and could n't get it out?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Could she have been downstairs before the shot?
hvd.hw2bzi	Could she have been to Westhaven in the hope of seeing Meldrum?
hvd.hw2bzi	Did he hear above the howling of the wind through the garden spaces the sound of carriage- wheels on the driveway, or was it merely fancy?
hvd.hw2bzi	Did he return? ” “ No!
hvd.hw2bzi	Did you think the neck- lace walked through the keyhole?
hvd.hw2bzi	Do n't you realise that in the eyes of the world there are just three people who had incentive and opportunity for killing the Earl of Portstead?
hvd.hw2bzi	Do n't you think you are making too much of this quarrel?
hvd.hw2bzi	Do you not agree with me, Lady Pevensy?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Do you understand? ” With that he strode from the library, as though fearing to trust himself longer.
hvd.hw2bzi	Have I your permission to break down the door?
hvd.hw2bzi	Have n't you your- self said that there is pretty black evidence against me?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Have you found anything missing, or even out of place?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Have you never heard of a secret passage to that room, Lady Ursula?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Have you this note, Lady Pevensy?"
hvd.hw2bzi	He is dead?"
hvd.hw2bzi	He is my hus- band. ” “ Your husband? ” he echoed blankly.
hvd.hw2bzi	How came she to know of it?
hvd.hw2bzi	How did Meldrum, fully dressed, even to his hat, happen to be outside the garden door at the time the shot occurred?
hvd.hw2bzi	How was he to ques- tion her?
hvd.hw2bzi	I am convinced of it. ” Mr. Clavering had heard that it was well to humour the mentally sick, so he asked, “ What makes you think so?"
hvd.hw2bzi	I found the dressing- table drawer open and the necklace gone. ” “ Had the lock been forced? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hw2bzi	I left her there when — I went to my brother. ” “ Is your maid a reliable person?"
hvd.hw2bzi	III WHERE HAD MELDRUM BEEN?
hvd.hw2bzi	If he is the man I think he is, he is a desperate character. ” “ What do you know about him?
hvd.hw2bzi	If it were Lady Ursula, was Meldrum the cause?
hvd.hw2bzi	If she had passed it afterwards, how came she down- stairs before any one else when he had no recol- lection of seeing her in the halls?
hvd.hw2bzi	In Hell, I think! ” “ Robin, why did n't you come to me before?
hvd.hw2bzi	In that time has he, in your presence, or to your knowledge, uttered threats or shown vindictiveness toward the de- ceased?"
hvd.hw2bzi	May I ask where he is now? ” Lady Ursula was watching the detective curi- ously.
hvd.hw2bzi	May I ask, Mr. Burton, what you expect to find in this room?
hvd.hw2bzi	Mr. Clavering, do you share his suspicions of Robert Sylvester? ” “ No, ” he answered, but his voice wavered.
hvd.hw2bzi	Nobody left to say. ” “ You mean everybody concerned is dead? ” gasped Mr. Clavering.
hvd.hw2bzi	Of course you have accounted by now for the dis- appearance of the person who fell down stairs?
hvd.hw2bzi	Probably you have investigated the north wing?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Shall we shake hands and for- swear hard feelings? ” Smiling, he held out his hand.
hvd.hw2bzi	Surely you do not suspect her?"
hvd.hw2bzi	That's clear, is n't it? ” he demanded abruptly of Mary Grey.
hvd.hw2bzi	The coroner plainly resented his manner, and his voice was harsh and peremptory as he asked, “ Why should you return at that hour?
hvd.hw2bzi	Then she echoed, with a forbearing smile, “ Have I any idea who the man could be?
hvd.hw2bzi	There was a clattering noise?
hvd.hw2bzi	WHERE HAD MELDRUM BEEN?
hvd.hw2bzi	WHERE HAD MELDRUM BEEN?
hvd.hw2bzi	Was it an amicable one? ” Harry Brooks bent forward at this and fixed his burning eyes on Lady Ursula.
hvd.hw2bzi	Was it his duty, as she had suggested, to investigate the north wing?
hvd.hw2bzi	Was it not probable that he would meet there the evil genius of Portstead Manor?
hvd.hw2bzi	Was she honest or was she not?
hvd.hw2bzi	Was she telling the truth?
hvd.hw2bzi	Were they so covered now?
hvd.hw2bzi	Were you on affectionate terms?"
hvd.hw2bzi	What WILD ROSE VILLA: 157 was he to say to this child?
hvd.hw2bzi	What am I to do? ” Meldrum caught her hands and held them firmly.
hvd.hw2bzi	What did she tell you anyway?
hvd.hw2bzi	What is the matter now, Mr. Clavering? ” demanded Lady Ursula nervously.
hvd.hw2bzi	What keeps you up so late? ” 24 THAT AFFAIR AT THE MANOR Mr. Clavering's ugly suspicion grew.
hvd.hw2bzi	What secret might not these tall, dark woods contain?
hvd.hw2bzi	What was it?
hvd.hw2bzi	What was the coroner leading up to?
hvd.hw2bzi	What was the object of her pry- ing interest in the case?
hvd.hw2bzi	What would Rose do when she found her visitor was not Robert Sylvester?
hvd.hw2bzi	Where and under what cir- cumstances had he met this man before?
hvd.hw2bzi	Where could he have been?
hvd.hw2bzi	Where did it come from?
hvd.hw2bzi	Where was Meldrum?
hvd.hw2bzi	Where's Mary Grey? ” Then Lady Ursula did a strange thing.
hvd.hw2bzi	Who could laugh out like that in this house of tragedy?
hvd.hw2bzi	Who is it, old chap?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Who then?
hvd.hw2bzi	Why ca n't you be honest?
hvd.hw2bzi	Why is it that none of us has ever heard of her before?
hvd.hw2bzi	Why should he assume toward her the authority of a master rather than the affection of a brother?
hvd.hw2bzi	Why should he be the arbiter of his sister's destiny?
hvd.hw2bzi	Why should we not join forces?"
hvd.hw2bzi	Why, indeed, save to divert suspi- cion from herself?
hvd.hw2bzi	Would Rose's testimony help to clear Lord Meldrum, or would it only serve to implicate him further?
hvd.hw2bzi	You do n't like Brooks, do you? ” “ Do you?"
hvd.hw2bzi	You do n't like Brooks, do you? ” “ Do you?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Am I very badly disfigured? ” he inquired anxiously.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ And not later?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ And that is all you found?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ And that is?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Are you sure it is Robert she is threatening? ” He stared at her astonished.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ At just what time was this? ” he persisted..
hvd.hw2bzi	“ At the present Lord Portstead's request?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ At what time?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ At whose request, then?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ But pray, may not an occasional gipsy have soft and slender hands? ”.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Ca n't you see, ” demanded Meldrum indig- 62 THAT AFFAIR AT THE MANOR nantly, “ that her Ladyship needs rest and quiet?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Coming up, Clavering? ” “ When I am through my — ah — cogitation. ” Meldrum smiled, showing two rows of perfect white teeth.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Did n't I tell you this old place was honey- combed with passages?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Did n't you know that Mavis was a cripple? ” “ Why, no; I only saw her twice.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Did you carry me here? ” he demanded.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Did you fall down the stairs?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Did you go to Lady Ursula's dressing- room?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Did your Ladyship go down by these circular stairs?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do I look as though I could carry you anywhere? ” He was obliged to admit that she did not.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do n't overtax your cogitating apparatus, WHERE HAD MELDRUM BEEN?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do you hear? ” demanded Lady Pevensy shrilly.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do you know of any vehicle we could engage to carry us back to the Manor? ” he asked, in the blandest tone in which he had ever addressed her.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do you know who this man is?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do you think that the person who fell down the stairs is in the north wing now?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Do you want to have me blub- bering like a baby? ” He crossed swiftly to the window, his features twitching.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Granted that you discover a secret passage, what will it avail you when the thief and murderer is still at large?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Had they any personal quarrel? ” persisted the coroner.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Has he been notified yet of the tragic happening that has brought him into the title and estates of — the late Earl of Portstead?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. Clavering, ” queried a soft voice at his ear, “ that Lord Port- stead is somewhat of a tyrant to his sister?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Have you lost something, Mr. Clavering? ” suddenly asked a soft voice, with just the faintest suggestion of mockery.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Have you not guessed what Julian Travers is to me?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ How did this get back in the drawer?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ How did you enter the Manor? ” “ By the garden door into the library; it was open. ” “ Who was in the library? ” “ My brother."
hvd.hw2bzi	“ How did you enter the Manor? ” “ By the garden door into the library; it was open. ” “ Who was in the library? ” “ My brother."
hvd.hw2bzi	“ How did you know about this Mavis Travers and where she lived?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ How long after the interview was it before you went into the gardens? ”.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ How so?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ I heard it over an hour ago. ” “ The last train?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ I say, Mel, old chap, you'll stand by me, wo n't you? ” Lord Meldrum gripped his hand encouragingly.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ I sha n't never say it was! ” “ What is this man to you that you should steal for him?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ I should like to know if this interview was an unpleasant one? ” he asked, with a ring of triumph in his voice.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ I trust it is not far to Wild Rose Villa?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ I was sitting here having a quiet — ah — cogitation. ” “ Has Lady Pevensy sent yet to Scotland Yard?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Is he — really dying? ” “ Yes,"answered the detective gently.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Is it necessary that I go? ” “ He has asked for you."
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Is this your pistol? ” he asked curtly.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ It did not come from the floor above? ” he asked tentatively.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ It might have been a little before two?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ It must have been whom? ” demanded Mr. Clavering testily.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Lady Ursula gave an explanation. ” “ Yes, but did you believe it?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Lady Ursula, ” he questioned, with sudden in- spiration, “ have you any idea who the man could be? ” Lady Ursula glanced at him, startled.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Leaving the door open? ” unexpectedly de- manded Mary Grey.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ May I ask your Ladyship just one or two more questions?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ My Lady,"asked the detective very gently and sympathetically, “ do you feel able to take the eleven o'clock train to London?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ My maid? ” A startled look flashed over her features.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ No of- fence, I hope, Mr. Clavering? ” “ Not at all, ” replied Mr. Clavering, but his tone was cold.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ No. ” “ Your Ladyship is sure? ” Lady Ursula raised her head with a haughty gesture.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Not in the library? ” suggested the coroner.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Oh, Mr. Clavering, ” she cried breathlessly, as he advanced toward her with solicitude, “ have I roused the entire household?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Oh, then you have found the entrance?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Really, is that a fact?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Robert,"implored Lady Ursula, “ you will let me speak now?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Robin, Robin, ” she sobbed, using her old pet- name,"where have you been all these days?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Rose reliable?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Shall you retain him in your service? ” “ No, no,"impatiently, “ I shall dismiss him as soon as possible.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ She is expecting me. ” “ Oh, ” said the woman, her manner becoming respectful, “ so you're the gentleman she's lookin'for?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Should you not say my place was with him?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ So you could n't trust me to question Rose?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ The circular stairs?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ The necklace has been stolen! ” “ Wha- at? ” he gasped, leaping to his feet.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ There, do you see on this stair and the one above, on every one except the upper, a long scar — a fresh scar?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ There, ” thought Mr. Clavering, “ are two peo- people who might be happy, if — ” If what?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Thompson?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Under the escritoire?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Was it a — another murder? ” David rose stiffly and painfully from his knees.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Well, sir, what now?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Well, then, were you on friendly terms?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Well,"she demanded breathlessly, “ and what did you do then?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Well? ” he said, interrogatively and half- dazedly.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What are you hinting at?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What can that mean?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What did you come upon that up- set you so, eh? ” “ Upset me so?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What did you come upon that up- set you so, eh? ” “ Upset me so?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you make of it? ” His eyes sought hers, no longer mocking, but earnest, brilliant.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you make of this?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you mean by that?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you think she is?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you think will be the outcome of the inquest?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What do you wish to ask me, Mr.- Burton, I believe?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What elemental passions have you observed in your study of this case? ” he condescended to ask.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What happened, David?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What might ye'want with Rose'Arris?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What passions do you think actuate Elena?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What sort of gyrations were you performing on the north wing stairs? ” she queried.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What was the hour of your Lordship's re- turn?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What were the relations between your de- ceased brother and Lord Meldrum?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What were your relations with your deceased brother?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ What's the use of my denying it?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ When did this occur? ” asked Elsie, with quivering lip.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ When you heard the pistol shot, what did you do? ” “ I- I obeyed impulse and rushed down the stairs."
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Where is Lady Ursula?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Where is the entrance to this interesting pas- sage, Mr. Clavering?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Where was this found? ” he demanded hoarsely.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Where were you, my Lord, when the pistol shot occurred?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Who says that my brother returned?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why did you run away, Rose?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why do you ask me, sir?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why does not somebody carry him upstairs?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why not?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why not?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why should Lady Pevensy need a detective when Mr. Clavering is here and trying his utmost to recover the necklace?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Why should it matter to you, Mr. Burton, where Robert Sylvester is now?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ Wo n't you hold the flashlight for me, Mr. Clavering? ” suddenly spoke up Mary Grey in the most matter- of- fact tone.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You are sure the man did not follow them?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You have been given other employment? ” he asked coldly.
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You have been to London?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You have done me the honour, then, to follow me?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You mean that Robert will be indicted?
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You parted on friendly terms?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You persist in the story then?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You think so? ” “ Did she not say as much before us all?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You think so? ” “ Did she not say as much before us all?"
hvd.hw2bzi	“ You — you saw her this morning?"
hvd.hw2bzi	” “ Did n't you'ear the pistol shots, sir?
hvd.hx56ws	Are we going to sit like this all night? ” Giles grumbled. hvd.hx56ws In this desolate house?
hvd.hx56ws	'Oh,'she said, just like that,'so you find this house a gloomy, shut- up old place?'
hvd.hx56ws	42 SINISTER HOUSE “ Have you had a fall, Julia?"
hvd.hx56ws	After a moment or two of silence, I asked: “ Is there more than one? ” “ Two, ” she answered.
hvd.hx56ws	And he?
hvd.hx56ws	And then?"
hvd.hx56ws	At any rate, no sound but the roaring 26 SINISTER HOUSE"There's nothing the matter with Julia, is there? ” I asked suddenly and without thinking.
hvd.hx56ws	Been ill? ”.
hvd.hx56ws	But in a few minutes I heard him again: 70 SINISTER HOUSE “ Are n't there any Loreleis on the Hudson, mama?"
hvd.hx56ws	Could he see them?
hvd.hx56ws	Did I not remember Annette had said that Eric had brought “ nightmares ” to my son?
hvd.hx56ws	Did she eat little boys and girls? ”.
hvd.hx56ws	Do you think, dear, that I am not naturally am- bitious? ”( This with supreme pity.)
hvd.hx56ws	Do you, dear? ” Truly I believe that the past was dead for him.
hvd.hx56ws	Do you?
hvd.hx56ws	For Heaven's sake, Pierre, is there anything wrong about me to- night?
hvd.hx56ws	Had she heard me return in the car and had not called me?
hvd.hx56ws	How can a man sleep in such a racket? ” Eric recognized the sound, and looked at me.
hvd.hx56ws	How could she have taken it so?
hvd.hx56ws	How did you happen to hit on that place?
hvd.hx56ws	I am an American; and I am chauvinist enough( is that the word?)
hvd.hx56ws	I do n't suppose your ghosts ever walk much before midnight, do they?
hvd.hx56ws	I heard his mother say;"silly boy, to be afraid. ” “ Did she sing when she was hungry? ” I heard him ask in his high, tense voice.
hvd.hx56ws	I know some of the rooms are shady; but you would n't have me driven from our nest by a shadow, would you?'
hvd.hx56ws	I stood it as long as I could, and then, knowing well I should be branded as a harsh and crude New Yorker by the sen- timental( or was it thrifty?)
hvd.hx56ws	I'm surprised you are not more curious about it. ” “ Who?
hvd.hx56ws	Indeed, what could she say?
hvd.hx56ws	Is there a more maddening word to distract the mind of a fellow in my fix?
hvd.hx56ws	It hurts! ”"Is something hurting him? ” Eric asked me quietly.
hvd.hx56ws	It was Julia: high- spirited, frail, little thing, 150 SINISTER HOUSE “ What do you mean? ” “ Oh, Annette, you must believe what I say.
hvd.hx56ws	It's only such unfortunates that come back to earth, is n't it, Pierre?
hvd.hx56ws	Me? ” “ Yes; especially you.
hvd.hx56ws	No one is allowed to go into that room. ” “ But the light? ” I said.
hvd.hx56ws	Nor I, either; for, as you know, I promised my wife Julia that while she is in the house — she is still here, is she not?
hvd.hx56ws	Oh, dear, what does the poor child mean?
hvd.hx56ws	Oh, my be- loved America, have we not much to learn about the treatment of artists?
hvd.hx56ws	Perhaps twenty- five hundred; possibly three thousand. ” “ So little? ” I saw a bitter smile twist his lips.
hvd.hx56ws	Saw you and your husband setting out flowers — fox- gloves, n'est- ce pas?
hvd.hx56ws	She sha n't do it alone, ever. ” “ Do what, Julia, alone?"
hvd.hx56ws	So you're going to give me a sick one on this fine morning, are you?
hvd.hx56ws	The woman? ” “ Yes. ” I began to be calmed by her matter- of- factness.
hvd.hx56ws	To Julia?
hvd.hx56ws	Undoubtedly, the evil was, for some unknown and unimaginable reason, strongest in that house; but what avail to go elsewhere with Eric?
hvd.hx56ws	Was Julia dead?
hvd.hx56ws	Was Uncle Eric a bad man and heard her sing?"
hvd.hx56ws	Was he then a stranger to us all at once?
hvd.hx56ws	Was it because of that her face took on the haggard look I had seen on it before?
hvd.hx56ws	Was it because of that she began backing slowly from him?
hvd.hx56ws	Was it cruel to the child?
hvd.hx56ws	Was there a Lorelei in the Singing House?
hvd.hx56ws	We must have gone a mile be- fore he shot out at me: “ Her husband? ” 56 SINISTER HOUSE “ What about him? ” I gasped, startled.
hvd.hx56ws	We must have gone a mile be- fore he shot out at me: “ Her husband? ” 56 SINISTER HOUSE “ What about him? ” I gasped, startled.
hvd.hx56ws	What are you thinking of?"
hvd.hx56ws	What brought Uncle Eric to the Singing House? ” It got fearfully on Giles's nerves.
hvd.hx56ws	What do you want? ” There was about him at that moment a nobleness of rage, a majesty of defiance, some- thing greatly heroic.
hvd.hx56ws	What hurts you? ” Eric stood back against the wall, a tall, somber figure.
hvd.hx56ws	What would that name have meant to Eric?
hvd.hx56ws	What's SINISTER HOUSE 163 yours?
hvd.hx56ws	What's the matter?
hvd.hx56ws	Where does he come from?
hvd.hx56ws	Where was he on this wild night?
hvd.hx56ws	Who are they?
hvd.hx56ws	Why was it that in the midst of such tran- quillity I had a sudden sense of evil's being done?
hvd.hx56ws	Will you let me finish?
hvd.hx56ws	You do n't mean that he will murder her? ” She leaned forward over me, and I reached up for her hands.
hvd.hx56ws	You think that it is – unexercised?
hvd.hx56ws	— uncontrolled?
hvd.hx56ws	“ Are n't you ever coming to bed? ” Annette called to me.
hvd.hx56ws	“ But what was the Lorelei's supper, mama?
hvd.hx56ws	“ But you will find him, Pierre? ” she begged me.
hvd.hx56ws	“ Can you not fasten it, Pierre? ”.
hvd.hx56ws	“ Cousin Giles, what brought Uncle Eric to the Singing- House? ” Giles sprang up in a fury.
hvd.hx56ws	“ Do you think I'm crazy?"
hvd.hx56ws	“ Do you think that I do not want the best for my children and myself — and you, dear?
hvd.hx56ws	“ Have n't you been asleep, dear?"
hvd.hx56ws	“ Her husband? ” he roared again.
hvd.hx56ws	“ How many did you see? ” “ One,"I answered, feeling, I do n't know why, shamefaced.
hvd.hx56ws	“ How,"I whispered, “ is Julia? ” “ She's asleep just now,"he whispered back.
hvd.hx56ws	“ I wonder, ” he said, “ what has loosened that shutter?
hvd.hx56ws	“ Is she better?"
hvd.hx56ws	“ She is a rational and an invincible woman. ” “ You are sure of that, are you? ” I asked, equally calm.
hvd.hx56ws	“ Was it?"
hvd.hx56ws	“ Well, it could be done, could n't it?
hvd.hx56ws	“ What are you going to do, Giles?"
hvd.hx56ws	“ What hurts you, my son?
hvd.hx56ws	“ What is it, Julia? ” I sobbed.
hvd.hx56ws	“ What's the matter, Pierre? ” he asked me quietly.
hvd.hx56ws	“ What's the matter? ” my wife asked me.
hvd.hx56ws	“ What's the matter? ”"I ca n't sleep for worrying.
hvd.hx56ws	“ Where does that door lead to, Grier? ” he called out, going over to stand beside him.
hvd.hx56ws	“ Why do n't you stretch out on this sofa and try to sleep? ”"I ca n't sleep with that shutter banging."
hvd.hx56ws	“ Will you be good enough to take me along, too?"

hvd.hwkyqk	Divorced from matter, where is life?' hvd.hwkyqk Must we go to church, too? ”'asked the colonel blankly.
hvd.hwkyqk	To act on impulse'-who but daily realizes that commonplace in his own experience? hvd.hwkyqk 69 yo THE GREY ROOM Was it conceivable that he might have even bitter and unscrupulous enemies? hvd.hwkyqk A physical cause being absolutely ruled out, what remains? hvd.hwkyqk All is well with you? ” “ All is absolutely well with me, but then I have slept refreshingly for some time. hvd.hwkyqk Am I right? hvd.hwkyqk An interesting reflection: How many suffer, if they do not actu- ally perish, from the sins of the dead? hvd.hwkyqk And for that matter, if it's really super- natural, why should a dozen be safer than one? hvd.hwkyqk And have I not the spirit of my dead boy on my side? hvd.hwkyqk And how, if I may ask, do you fill the terrible vacuum in your life that such a denial must create? ”I have never been conscious of such a vacuum.
hvd.hwkyqk	And this door?!!
hvd.hwkyqk	Are these carved chairs, with PRINCE DJEM 231 the Grey Room and nothing but the Grey Room we are concerned with?
hvd.hwkyqk	Are you writing any more poetry?!!
hvd.hwkyqk	But I ask you not to go. ” “ You were going if you'd won the toss? ” “ I know. ”"Then your growing intuition is only because I won it.
hvd.hwkyqk	But I do n't doubt PRINCE DJEM 225 scious being hidden there, but beyond our sight and knowledge? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	But are we not all historical- men, women, even children?
hvd.hwkyqk	But by going into that room, are you not giving somebody another opportunity to do what has already been done?
hvd.hwkyqk	But if prayers keep it harmless, then it's got ears and it's alive! ” “ Can you believe that, Masters? ” she whis- pered.
hvd.hwkyqk	But if that happened, and Tom was proclaimed the sinner, what must be Henry's own fate?
hvd.hwkyqk	But that being so, ca n't you see the rest?
hvd.hwkyqk	But that spirits of the departed have appeared and been recognized by the living, who shall deny?
hvd.hwkyqk	But that was less amazing than the Ger- man spy — you remember now, Sir Walter?
hvd.hwkyqk	But to what other con- clusion can a reasonable man come?
hvd.hwkyqk	But why assume such an extraordinary situation?
hvd.hwkyqk	But why is the night sacred to apparitions and supernatural phenomena gen- erally?"
hvd.hwkyqk	But why laugh at these things?
hvd.hwkyqk	Can we question our Creator?
hvd.hwkyqk	Causes be- yond our apparent knowledge were responsible for the death of Nurse Forrester; but who shall pre- sume to say that was really so?
hvd.hwkyqk	Could any living man, however well intentioned, watch with me and over me as he will?
hvd.hwkyqk	Could anything be more absurd than shut- ting up a fine room like that?
hvd.hwkyqk	Could anything be more satisfac- tory? ” Signor Mannetti ate sparingly, then he donned a big, fur, motor- coat and declared himself ready.
hvd.hwkyqk	Did not even the unen- lightened men who formed the coroner's jury de- clare that Tom passed into another world by the hand of God?
hvd.hwkyqk	Do n't you see you've defeated your own object?
hvd.hwkyqk	Do n't you think so? ” Such a lecture on an empty stomach depressed the colonel.
hvd.hwkyqk	Do you believe in another world or do you not?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Do you know that story?
hvd.hwkyqk	Do you rate your soul so low that you would surrender it for the satisfaction of a morbid craving?
hvd.hwkyqk	Does it reign in a particular spot of house or garden?
hvd.hwkyqk	Doubtless you view with considerable distrust the growing spirit of democracy, or what is called by that name? ” “ I do, ” admitted Sir Walter.
hvd.hwkyqk	Every- body knows that you have done no wrong, and if your judgment is questioned, what is it?
hvd.hwkyqk	For how if all were not well?
hvd.hwkyqk	Had he enemies?
hvd.hwkyqk	Had your son- in- law any interest in old furniture, Sir Walter?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Hardcastle?!!
hvd.hwkyqk	Has the undertaker been? ” “ Yes, uncle."
hvd.hwkyqk	Have I not told you everything?
hvd.hwkyqk	Have not men been bur- ied alive?
hvd.hwkyqk	He shall say'Is all well?'
hvd.hwkyqk	He'll bolt it yet, I should n't wonder, like a ferret bolts a rat. ” THE FANATIC 159"You really feel more hopeful?''
hvd.hwkyqk	He's been pretty wild to- day, and who shall blame him?
hvd.hwkyqk	How can we even take it for 14 THE GREY ROOM granted that our spirits will retain a human form and human attributes after death? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	How did he come to die- in his sleep?"
hvd.hwkyqk	How if his voice no longer sounded?
hvd.hwkyqk	How's poor Mary? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	I attributed it to my acute anx- iety over Mary- also to a shadow of- what?
hvd.hwkyqk	I hope he had no wife or family to mourn him?"
hvd.hwkyqk	I won the toss, and ca n't take my orders from you, old chap, can I?'
hvd.hwkyqk	I'll see Mary, then lie down for an hour or two. ” “ You feel all right?
hvd.hwkyqk	If I did n't think-"“ What on earth are you doing, Masters? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	If we make our own hells, shall we not make our own heavens?
hvd.hwkyqk	In any case, I do my duty, and if I myself was called to die while so doing, what nobler death can I desire?!!
hvd.hwkyqk	In what way should they distress her particularly? ” “ Can you not see?
hvd.hwkyqk	In what way should they distress her particularly? ” “ Can you not see?
hvd.hwkyqk	Indeed, how should they blame you at all until they themselves find out the truth? ”"They will — they must!
hvd.hwkyqk	Indeed, if I may advise, you will do well to leave it just as it is for the police to see. ” “ They will want to see it, I imagine?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Intuition, perhaps. ”"Intuition of what?''
hvd.hwkyqk	Is a crime any less a crime because the doers have mouldered in their dishonored graves for nearly five hundred years?".
hvd.hwkyqk	Is all well with the watchers? ” “ I leave you to inquire, but do n't go too near them.
hvd.hwkyqk	Is it a family spectre?
hvd.hwkyqk	Is it fairly well authenti- cated?
hvd.hwkyqk	Is such a sanguine assurance planted in the mind of even the lowest savage for nothing?
hvd.hwkyqk	Is that clear to you, Sir Walter? ” “ It is.
hvd.hwkyqk	Is that so, Tom? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	Is there one against whom such a suspicion can be entertained?"
hvd.hwkyqk	It is seemly that they should return to Rome, is it not?
hvd.hwkyqk	May I trouble you for the key?
hvd.hwkyqk	May I walk in the garden again — not alone, but with your companionship?''
hvd.hwkyqk	May not a house be similarly cleansed as well as a soul?
hvd.hwkyqk	May?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Might not Henry have found an eastern poison in Mesopotamia?
hvd.hwkyqk	Nor will I say that you oppress me with such extraordinary generosity, for is it not more blessed to give than receive?
hvd.hwkyqk	Oh, and Allori's'Judith'-so lovely, but I wonder if Allori did justice to her?
hvd.hwkyqk	Or the ghost of Pinturicchio hovering round his lit- tle picture?
hvd.hwkyqk	Or those bygone, cunning workers in plaster who built the ceiling?
hvd.hwkyqk	Perhaps Mr. Lennox will imitate his posture, if he remembers it? ” “ Remember it!
hvd.hwkyqk	Post- mortem stains have al- ready appeared, and were they ever known on a living body?
hvd.hwkyqk	Shall I communicate with Scotland Yard to- day?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Shall I see the wraith of Prince Djem, think you?
hvd.hwkyqk	Shall the God Who gave us reason be Himself unreasonable? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	Shall the servants of God fear to oppose a dark angel? ” “ Well spoken,"said Mr. May.
hvd.hwkyqk	Should you care to see Mannering?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Surely I must know death when I see it?
hvd.hwkyqk	The Grey Room has the evil fame?"
hvd.hwkyqk	The old dog did not suffer, you say?
hvd.hwkyqk	The problem for the rationalist is this: How does he ignore the deeply rooted and universal conviction that there is a life to come?
hvd.hwkyqk	This does not weary you? ” “ No, indeed, ” declared Mary.

hvd.hwkyqk	What, for any practical purpose, does it matter how subjectively true a statement may be if it is objectively false?
hvd.hwkyqk	Where did the aborigines win that expectation? ”"My answer embraces the whole question from my own point of view, ” replied Hardcastle.
hvd.hwkyqk	Who can be fairly asked to pos- sess that pinch of history which means so much in this room?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Who can question your right to believe that this is a matter outside human knowledge?
hvd.hwkyqk	Who else matters?
hvd.hwkyqk	Who knows what a disaster death may be?
hvd.hwkyqk	Why did I believe him?
hvd.hwkyqk	Why did I let him convince me against my better judgment? ” “ Do not fret about that now."
hvd.hwkyqk	Why imagine anything so irregular?
hvd.hwkyqk	Why not the next room?'
hvd.hwkyqk	Why not?
hvd.hwkyqk	Why not?
hvd.hwkyqk	Why seek a supernatural cause for dear Tom's death before we are satisfied that no other exists?"
hvd.hwkyqk	Why, ma'am?".

hvd.hwkyqk	“ And if from human tenements, then why not from dwell- ings made with human hands also?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ And what then, Masters?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Are you equal to telling the clergyman at the 76 THE GREY ROOM station that his son is dead, or ca n't you trust yourself to do it? ”.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Are you not satisfied?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ BY THE HAND OF GOD ” 173 “ Is he attached to Scotland Yard still, or does he work independently?!'
hvd.hwkyqk	“ But it has done evil, surely? ” “ Evil from our standpoint.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ But surely such a theory is quite as wild as any based on supernatural assumptions?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ But your own ghost, Sir Walter? ” asked Fayre- Michell.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Can I be of any service to simplify your plans?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Can we do anything on earth for them? ” asked Millicent Fayre- Michell.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Certainly it has. ” “ And yet a little knowledge of a few peculiar facts- a pinch of history — yet, once again, who shall be blamed?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Could one wish for a more amiable looking room?"
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Do you suppose you will see something, and that something will tell you what it is, and why it killed dear Tom?''

hvd.hwkyqk	“ How could history have helped us, signor? ” asked Henry Lennox.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ In the endless punishment or the endless hap- piness of men and women after they are dead?!!
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Is all well, gentlemen? ” he asked loudly; but he received no answer.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Is all well? ” he cried again.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Is he here?"
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Is he to be buried at Chadlands?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ It is rather more than thirty- five feet to the ground. ” “ How do you know that?''

hvd.hwkyqk	“ Nothing is changed? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Nothing, I trust, has happened? ” “ Nothing whatever, Sir Walter.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Shall it be denied that devils have been cast out in the name of God? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Still asleep?''
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Valuable, no doubt?"
hvd.hwkyqk	“ What bee has got into your bonnet? ” “ Do n't call it that.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean that they were not prepared to grant that he was dead.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ What do you think of Signor Mannetti, Mas- ters? ” asked Henry; and the butler, who was a great reader of the newspapers, made answer.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ What have you seen to- day? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ What is the matter with Prince? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Who is alive and who is dead?''
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Who is it?"
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Who knows what we can suffer till we are called to find out?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Who shall demur?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Why did you object to Mary hearing these fasts?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Why do you feel so sure of that?".
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Why is it vital, after all, that only one should 96 THE GREY ROOM undertake this ordeal? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Why withhold charity?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Why?''
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Would he be safe in the Grey Room? ” said Sir Walter.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ Would you have any objection to Masters hearing what you may have to tell us?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ You do n't believe in the supernatural then? ” asked Mr. May.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ You do n't mean he'll let May go into that room to- night? ” “ I hope not.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ You flout reason when you say these things, my dear May. ” “ And why should I not flout reason?
hvd.hwkyqk	“ You have no fear, no shadow of hesitation or doubt at the bottom of your mind? ” “ None.
hvd.hwkyqk	“ You mistrusted the room yourself, Sir Walter?"
hvd.hwkyqk	“ You still believe the peril is material then- an active, physical thing, controlled by a conscious human intelligence? ”.

hvd.32044021006432	He must be cracked. ” FACING CONTEMPT 47 La Flemme began to laugh again, but Louis Mo- net quickly stopped him: “ So you quite understand?
hvd.32044021006432	He remembered everything, that was sure, but why was he able to remember?
hvd.32044021006432	He said simply: “ Evidently I run a risk but what does that matter?
hvd.32044021006432	He seemed surprised: “ Where is he? ” “ In the salon, Colonel. ” “ In the salon? ” A vague smile fluttered over the officer's face.
hvd.32044021006432	He seemed surprised: “ Where is he? ” “ In the salon, Colonel. ” “ In the salon? ” A vague smile fluttered over the officer's face.
hvd.32044021006432	He started to speak, stopped, and then ques- tioned: “ What has happened to your military attaché, Ambassador; that Captain Bayen?
hvd.32044021006432	He was about to resign himself to his destiny as a new thought struck him: “ What about my mission?
hvd.32044021006432	How could he have known that I was to be attacked?
hvd.32044021006432	How could he manage to see Colette?
hvd.32044021006432	How could he resist this extraordinary person?
hvd.32044021006432	How did you come here? ” The priest, no longer timid, replied: “ In two words, this is what happened: “ An hour ago I was in my garden.
hvd.32044021006432	How was it that a small village like Cirey had a system of drains almost metropolitan?
hvd.32044021006432	How?
hvd.32044021006432	I 18 THE YELLOW DOCUMENT Did he really see what he thought he saw?
hvd.32044021006432	I am Lieutenant Monet's fiancéel And who are you? ” The woman's face grew bitter.
hvd.32044021006432	I am here to ask your forgive- ness. ” “ My forgiveness?
hvd.32044021006432	I certainly heard the firing of guns, but are the Germans already in France?
hvd.32044021006432	I should be caught and killed. ” “ By whom? ” “ By Krampft, of course! ” A silence ensued.
hvd.32044021006432	I suppose you wonder why I sent for you? ” “ I am at your orders, Colonel. ” “ I will enlighten you.
hvd.32044021006432	I tell you to break down the doors — the windows — destroy the furniture — fire the house! ” The young man was astounded: “ Are you crazy?
hvd.32044021006432	I thought I was offering you an excuse. ” “ An excuse?
hvd.32044021006432	I was forgetting that letter — that anony- mous letter — what the devil does it mean? ” Rauerdt's face became livid.
hvd.32044021006432	IN DANGER OF DEATH 35 “ A fiancée?
hvd.32044021006432	If I ca n't open the door, why not try the windows? ” The lower ones were protected by wooden shut- ters only.
hvd.32044021006432	If I could n't break in the door how can they?
hvd.32044021006432	If it were so why would the Kaiser have her murdered? ” “ State secret, ” said the officer simply.
hvd.32044021006432	In the meantime Colonel Bayen, alone in his study, livid, his arms folded, his head bent, reflected: “ Who? ” he asked himself.
hvd.32044021006432	Is anything known yet? ”- Louis Monet was taken aback.
hvd.32044021006432	Is it official? ” “ Yes, Lieutenant. ” “ La Flemme, I am under arrest — and I must go out — at any cost!
hvd.32044021006432	It concerns my fiancée. ” “ Your fiancée?
hvd.32044021006432	It is n't the colonel who wishes to see me? ” “ No, Lieutenant!
hvd.32044021006432	It is n't the colonel who wishes to see me? ” “ No, Lieutenant!
hvd.32044021006432	It is you? ” “ Yes, ” replied Ravignon in a paternal tone.
hvd.32044021006432	Krampft rose: “ You understand me, my friends?
hvd.32044021006432	Krampft will cer- tainly approach your majesty. ” “ But why did n't you advise me?
hvd.32044021006432	La Flemme repeated: “ But, Lieutenant, where is he wounded? ” Paul de Tersy, with white lips, gasped pain- fully.
hvd.32044021006432	Let himself be accused of cowardice?
hvd.32044021006432	Let himself be accused of cowardice?
hvd.32044021006432	Mademoiselle Ravignon?
hvd.32044021006432	Mademoiselle Ravignon?
hvd.32044021006432	May I explain them to you? ” 174 THE YELLOW DOCUMENT “ Go on!
hvd.32044021006432	Might it not have been invented to lead him, undefended, to a violent death?
hvd.32044021006432	Might not de Tersy have lied in making his so- called confession?
hvd.32044021006432	Might not his departure have something to do with the terrible mission he had entrusted to Louis Monet?
hvd.32044021006432	Monet looked at him with such an air of contempt that the wretch exclaimed: “ Why are you looking at me like that?
hvd.32044021006432	Monet questioned him with trembling voice: “ Can you hear me?
hvd.32044021006432	Must he give up his love?
hvd.32044021006432	Naturally, I acceded to her request, thinking she was some penitent — ” “ And that was not the case? ” “ No, Colonel.
hvd.32044021006432	Now, my dear Rauerdt, answer me frankly — have I acted wisely? ” Rauerdt bowed.
hvd.32044021006432	Of what value was this absurd thing called con- ventional honor?
hvd.32044021006432	Oh!—you understand? ” A DYING CONFESSION II 5 And in his delirium probably, he repeated: “ Forgive me, Monet.
hvd.32044021006432	Or again — and Monet could not entirely drive away the thought — was she her father's accomplice?
hvd.32044021006432	Or was she ignorant of it all?
hvd.32044021006432	Ought he to accept or provoke a duel?
hvd.32044021006432	Ought he to reject such devotion?
hvd.32044021006432	Ought he to reject such devotion?
hvd.32044021006432	Perhaps you know this ring? ” The woman took a ring from her finger and held it up.
hvd.32044021006432	Presently he asked: “ Are you calmer now?
hvd.32044021006432	Ravignon, a prisoner, bound?
hvd.32044021006432	Ravignon? ” He asked himself if he was going mad.
hvd.32044021006432	Ravignon? ” La Flemme laughed as though pleased.
hvd.32044021006432	Remembering her promise?
hvd.32044021006432	SILENT WORDS I23 Had he not held the interview by the window so that the noise of the wagons might cover his words?
hvd.32044021006432	Shall I send an orderly? ” “ Oh, give me a rest.

hvd.32044021006432	She was being taken to an audi- ence — and her father had the title of excellency?
hvd.32044021006432	Should he live?
hvd.32044021006432	Should he speak of the strange meeting with the monster?
hvd.32044021006432	Some relative of the dead per- son or the patrol?
hvd.32044021006432	Somebody has to be taken away. ” “ Your daughter? ” “ Bah!
hvd.32044021006432	Someone has told you? ” “ No, no, I know nothing — I simply referred to the war. ” The two men had entered the dining- room.
hvd.32044021006432	Someone is coming! ” “ Who?
hvd.32044021006432	Someone is coming! ” “ Who?
hvd.32044021006432	Still, it ca n't be possible! ” “ You recognize me? ” exclaimed Colette.
hvd.32044021006432	Suppose he were a spy?
hvd.32044021006432	Suppose this man had lied?
hvd.32044021006432	TI A A CASE OF CONSCIENCE 73 Was the lieutenant colonel crazy?
hvd.32044021006432	Tell me, where is the yellow document? ” Colette replied firmly: “ No, I shall not speak. ” “ But we have kept our part of the bargain.
hvd.32044021006432	That being so, could he afford to ignore any clew, however improbable?
hvd.32044021006432	That is all. ” “ But why?
hvd.32044021006432	That is my last card. ” What was Rauerdt alluding to?
hvd.32044021006432	That's why I have wakened you, Lieutenant. ” “ The lieutenant colonel?
hvd.32044021006432	That's why I have wakened you, Lieutenant. ” “ The lieutenant colonel?
hvd.32044021006432	The colonel said to me just now, ‘ La Flemme, you are Lieutenant A TRAGIC APPEAL 29| Monet's orderly? ’ ‘ Yes, ’ says I.
hvd.32044021006432	The orders he gave were surprising: “ Brutes| Who sent me'such a rotten lot of sol- diers?

hvd.32044021006432	Then what part had Brigitte Ravignon played?
hvd.32044021006432	There are things which must be wiped out with blood. ” “ With blood? ” Louis Monet mechanically repeated the words.
hvd.32044021006432	There's nothing left but to sur- render. ” Surrender?
hvd.32044021006432	These he could use when he woke up again?
hvd.32044021006432	This scornful tone and attitude?

hvd.32044021006432	Truly a fiancée?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he afraid that the Kaiser's bastard would use one of the formidable needles against him, for which he himself had furnished the poison?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he alone in the room with the Prussian officer or were there others watching him?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he dead?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he hesitating?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he not being caught in the most transparent of traps?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he not entering what was to be his torture chamber and his last dwelling on earth?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he not the victim of hallucination?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he really doing his duty in plunging into this adventure, the consequences of which might be dis- astrous?
hvd.32044021006432	Was he really what he seemed, a lover?

hvd.32044021006432	Was it not cowardice to seek forgetfulness and peace in death?

hvd.32044021006432	Was it possible that a single house had escaped being requisitioned by the Prussians?
hvd.32044021006432	Was it possible that somebody had planned his escape?

hvd.32044021006432	What difference does it make to you? ” “ None. ” The man passed over a small metal case which could easily be hidden in a piece of bread.
hvd.32044021006432	What do you mean? ” He avoided a direct reply, determined to keep his oath of silence.

hvd.32044021006432	What is it doing here? ” It did not take him long to guess the truth.
hvd.32044021006432	What is your name? ” The man rolled a cigarette.

hvd.32044021006432	Why did he call this man colonel?
hvd.32044021006432	Why did he light the fire?
hvd.32044021006432	Why did her host announce that he would dine alone?
hvd.32044021006432	Why has n't he escaped yet? ” “ But, he must have escaped!
hvd.32044021006432	Why keep si- lence?
hvd.32044021006432	Why must n't I recognize you? ” “ Because I am no longer myself, ” replied the monster, simply.
hvd.32044021006432	Why not make it sixty? ” “ No, fifty. ” “ And you will put the money there yourself? ” “ No.
hvd.32044021006432	Why not make it sixty? ” “ No, fifty. ” “ And you will put the money there yourself? ” “ No.
hvd.32044021006432	Why not use it again to cut a few words on the carriage window?
hvd.32044021006432	Why recall me posthaste?
hvd.32044021006432	Why should German soldiers pillage the home of a spy?
hvd.32044021006432	Why should I want to see you suffer? ” “ Leave me alone! ” cried Colette, staggering back.
hvd.32044021006432	Why should he refuse his consent?
hvd.32044021006432	Why the horror of this death, slow and cruel?
hvd.32044021006432	Why?
hvd.32044021006432	Why?
hvd.32044021006432	Why?
hvd.32044021006432	Why?
hvd.32044021006432	Why?
hvd.32044021006432	Why? ” The priest, seeing the officer's amazement, had a sudden thought.
hvd.32044021006432	Why? ” “ I killed myself because otherwise I would have been killed. ” “ Ah!
hvd.32044021006432	Will he soon be back again? ” The ambassador articulated clearly: “ Very soon, I hope, Sire.
hvd.32044021006432	Will she understand?
hvd.32044021006432	Will war really be declared?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you answer me as though I were your father?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you answer me as though I were your father?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you commit a crime? ” “ A crime?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you commit a crime? ” “ A crime?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you confide in me?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you confide in me?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you help me to keep it? ” Colette, quivering, had taken the envelope and hidden it in her corsage.
hvd.32044021006432	Will you help me to keep it? ” Colette, quivering, had taken the envelope and hidden it in her corsage.
hvd.32044021006432	Will you help me? ” “ I will do anything you want, Herr Krampft. ” “ Anything?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you help me? ” “ I will do anything you want, Herr Krampft. ” “ Anything?
hvd.32044021006432	Will you listen to me? ” “ Speak!
hvd.32044021006432	Will you swear it?
hvd.32044021006432	William II now leaned toward the empress, Augusta Victoria, and questioned her more than amiably: “ Does not the heat disturb you, my dear?
hvd.32044021006432	Would he have recourse to violence?
hvd.32044021006432	Would he not awaken his improvised hosts?
hvd.32044021006432	Would he not be obliged to put on the dead man's clothes, and possibly die of typhoid?
hvd.32044021006432	Would it be possible to recognize the road they were taking?
hvd.32044021006432	Would it creak when he opened it?
hvd.32044021006432	Would the doctor give him the yellow docu- ment?
hvd.32044021006432	Would the man dare to return?
hvd.32044021006432	XIX THE LAST BATTLE 66 ELL, Lieutenant? ” “ Well, La Flemme? ” “ We are almost comfortable.
hvd.32044021006432	XIX THE LAST BATTLE 66 ELL, Lieutenant? ” “ Well, La Flemme? ” “ We are almost comfortable.
hvd.32044021006432	XVII THE TRAP WHAT had happened to the monster after the tragic moment when he had entered Krampft's château for the second time?
hvd.32044021006432	Yes or no, will you explain or shall I call and have you arrested? ” “ Call, ” replied the monster.
hvd.32044021006432	Yes or no? ” “ What, Colonel? ” “ This dishonorable action, cheated at cards? ” Louis Monet drew himself up.
hvd.32044021006432	Yes or no? ” “ What, Colonel? ” “ This dishonorable action, cheated at cards? ” Louis Monet drew himself up.
hvd.32044021006432	Yes or no? ” “ What, Colonel? ” “ This dishonorable action, cheated at cards? ” Louis Monet drew himself up.

hvd.32044021006432	Yes or no? ” “ What, Colonel? ” “ This dishonorable action, cheated at cards? ” Louis Monet drew himself up.
hvd.32044021006432	Yet he must have been mistakenl “ Paul de Tersy, ” he murmured, “ was it really Paul de Tersy I saw?
hvd.32044021006432	You agree with me? ” Louis Monet nodded.
hvd.32044021006432	You are not ill?
hvd.32044021006432	You are sure?
hvd.32044021006432	You come in here freely, but how have you planned to go out?
hvd.32044021006432	You do n't understand why I tell you this, you who are the friend of the chief of police?
hvd.32044021006432	You follow me, de Tersy? ” The bastard did not seem quite at his ease.
hvd.32044021006432	You have n't heard the end of the adventure? ” Louis Monet felt his heart beat faster.
hvd.32044021006432	You have not taken poison, Abbé. ” “ Then you intend to keep me prisoner? ” The officer shook his head.
hvd.32044021006432	You know what we have to do? ” But seeing the look of bewilderment on their faces, he added: “ It's perfectly simple.
hvd.32044021006432	You think I insult you by supposing you drunk?
hvd.32044021006432	You under- stand? ”- “ Colonel, I am most anxious to hear what you 32 THE YELLOW DOCUMENT have to confide to me.
hvd.32044021006432	You understand? ” “ No 1"shouted Monet.
hvd.32044021006432	You understand? ” “ Yes, ” said de Tersy.
hvd.32044021006432	You wo n't dance any more? ” “ No, I'm going to sing. ” The woman picked up a guitar and began tun- ing it.
hvd.32044021006432	You've heard about the yellow document? ” “ Yes, ” replied the doctor after a brief hesitation.
hvd.32044021006432	and for what? ” As a matter of fact, he had greater reason for his anxiety.
hvd.32044021006432	there you are Have you slept well? ” A CASE OF CONSCIENCE 73 Was the lieutenant colonel crazy?
hvd.32044021006432	there you are Have you slept well? ” A CASE OF CONSCIENCE 73 Was the lieutenant colonel crazy?
hvd.32044021006432	to whom had he confided the precious document which contained so terrible a secret?
hvd.32044021006432	touched by divine grace?
hvd.32044021006432	“ A woman l You? ” she cried.
hvd.32044021006432	“ All for the country — for the war of revenge. ” IX A MYSTERIOUS PHOTOGRAPH “ WHERE are they?
hvd.32044021006432	“ An appeal, Colonel?
hvd.32044021006432	“ And of what use could I be to Krampft? ” He went on with the letter: “ Where is this yellow document?
hvd.32044021006432	“ And of what use could I be to Krampft? ” He went on with the letter: “ Where is this yellow document?
hvd.32044021006432	“ And then?
hvd.32044021006432	“ And we are to treat him? ” “ Like the other one. ” “ Very good, chief. ” The spy advanced to the condemned man.
hvd.32044021006432	“ And where is Krampft? ” “ You're inquisitive, are n't you? ” La Flemme jumped up, clanking his spurs.
hvd.32044021006432	“ And where is Krampft? ” “ You're inquisitive, are n't you? ” La Flemme jumped up, clanking his spurs.
hvd.32044021006432	“ And your mission?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Any other orders, chief? ” “ Yes! ” replied Rauerdt.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Are you afraid? ” “ No. ” It was not fear but amazement that staggered him.
hvd.32044021006432	“ But, Abbé, does not that explain everything?
hvd.32044021006432	“ But, Colonel, why speak in this way of your death?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Can we lift you? ” suggested Louis Monet.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Can you get me into his cell? ” “ No, that is impossible. ” I am not the only man on guard.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Can you get me such a one? ” 240 THE YELLOW DOCUMENT Then in a tone of anguish: “ But I implore you, swear to keep this a secret!
hvd.32044021006432	“ Capable of anything?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Colette is here? ” asked Krampft.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Colette, you love France? ” She answered him in the words he had himself imagined: “ France?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Colette, you love France? ” She answered him in the words he had himself imagined: “ France?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Colette, you love France? ” She answered him in the words he had himself imagined: “ France?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Colette, you love France? ” She answered him in the words he had himself imagined: “ France?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Colettel You?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Come, yes or no, have I done right?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Die?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Do n’t you remember that I told you — an honest man keeps his word?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Do you care to recover, ” it ran, “ a document of importance which is neither red nor blue, nor white, nor violet, nor orange?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Do you deny it? ” Louis Monet did not trouble to answer.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Do you deny it? ” Louis Monet did not trouble to answer.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Do you think I'm going to tell you everything?
hvd.32044021006432	“ For Francel For Colette l ’ ” Who could have shouted these words?
hvd.32044021006432	“ For the last time, will you speak? ” “ Wive la France! ” was the heroic reply.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Has he spoken? ” “ He says he knows nothing. ” The soldiers lined up opposite the dragoon.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Have I the right to refuse? ” The man laughed: “ Ah!
hvd.32044021006432	“ Have you any news?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Have you the yellow document? ” “ Have you the antidote? ” The man shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Have you the yellow document? ” “ Have you the antidote? ” The man shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Have you, too, some poison? ” “ Have I too?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Have you, too, some poison? ” “ Have I too?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Here I am, gentlemen, ashamed but not repent- ant. ” He purposely exaggerated his pretended anger: “ Pretty tough, do n't you think?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Here is a line asking him to explain his recent visit to me. ” What could this unknown priest tell him?—What new mystery awaited him?
hvd.32044021006432	“ How about the wigging? ” 48 THE YELLOW DOCUMENT Louis Monet burst out laughing.
hvd.32044021006432	“ How could our conversation have been overheard?
hvd.32044021006432	“ I beg you to tell me who you are l ’ ” In a strange voice, the woman answered: “ But who are you?
hvd.32044021006432	“ I told you to leave me alone. ” But La Flemme's face expressed such excitement, that the lieutenant questioned him: “ What is it?
hvd.32044021006432	“ If I should die my mission would be lost. ” And who were these spies who seemed to be so perfectly informed?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Is he making signals? ” he asked himself.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Is his majesty in the small drawing- room? ” asked the young officer.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Is there any woman in your life? ” “ No, Colonel. ” Louis Monet had answered instinctively.
hvd.32044021006432	“ It's a climb, is n't it? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.32044021006432	“ It's abominable! ” “ Do you then deny it? ” “ I should think I did l ’ ’ The lieutenant colonel was impressed.
hvd.32044021006432	“ It's abominable! ” “ Do you then deny it? ” “ I should think I did l ’ ” The lieutenant colonel was impressed.
hvd.32044021006432	“ It's very queer. ” “ What is queer? ” answered Monet, drawing near.
hvd.32044021006432	“ La Flemme, you met M. Ravignon?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Lieutenant, where have you sprung from?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Madame Carlotta? ” “ She lives here, Monsieur, but I do n't know if Madame — ” The visitor pushed his way into the hall.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Now are you satisfied?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Perhaps one of your relatives may have been planning an interview with me through pure chris- tian zeal?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Read that, Lieutenant. ” “ What? ” “ Head of the third column. ” Louis Monet searched for the article published in a small local paper.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Read that, Lieutenant. ” “ What? ” “ Head of the third column. ” Louis Monet searched for the article published in a small local paper.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Really?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Saved Saved l ’ ’ What had he discovered?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Sire, have pity and grant me my liberty — above all, grant me the life of Colettel How can the poor child have deserved your anger?
hvd.32044021006432	“ So you believe me, eh?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Sober again?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Start, La Flemmel Start off ſ ” “ Without you?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Surely you are not cold in midsummer? ” Krampft repeated: “ I swear to you that Carlotta will speak. ” And he lit the fire.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Tell me, have n't you a strange sensation in your hands — a heaviness of head?
hvd.32044021006432	“ The emperor's will must be done, but it's lucky I am here. ” Had he any pity — for the girl?
hvd.32044021006432	“ The saddle is turning, ” he remarked, “ and who told you to lengthen the stirrup leathers?
hvd.32044021006432	“ The yellow document?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Then why this torture?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Then you know?
hvd.32044021006432	“ To the kitchen? ” she repeated.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Very well. ” The officer asked: “ Is mademoiselle to accompany you? ” “ Certainly. ”- Colette felt everything turning round.
hvd.32044021006432	“ We have still five minutes, it will take that time to break in the door. ” Did the lieutenant intend to revolt against mil- itary authority?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, Lieutenant, did you get a calling down? ” But Louis Monet gave him a look which quickly silenced him.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, Rauerdtl ” “ Your majesty sent for me? ” “ To discuss certain urgent measures with you.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, my dear fellow, and what about your sol- diers?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, what are you waiting for? ” Suddenly he took out a fifty- mark bill and handed it to her.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, what else is there? ” “ Lieutenant, I dare n't tell you. ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, what else is there? ” “ Lieutenant, I dare n't tell you. ” “ Why not?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, what is it? ” The quartermaster announced: “ It's about the priest here who wants to see the colonel.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, you do n't answer?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well, you do n't answer?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well? ” they questioned.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Well? ” “ Well, there's a fine mix- up, ” panted La Flemme.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What am I to do? ” The Prussian rose.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What are you doing? ” questioned the bastard.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What can he be doing at such an hour? ” Then he shrugged his shoulders with a laugh.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What can the colonel want with me?
hvd.32044021006432	“ What did this person look like? ” The priest made a vague gesture.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What do you think of that? ” Had de Tersy seen Monet's eyes he would have been very much afraid.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What do you want with me?
hvd.32044021006432	“ What is it? ” “ Come and I'll tell you. ” Louis Monet drew his orderly rapidly away from the barracks.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What use do you want to put this to? ” De Tersy did not answer.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What's that? ” said Monet, angrily.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What's the matter now?
hvd.32044021006432	“ What's the matter with you, de Tersy? ” “ I have lost thirty louis with marked cards. ” A hand touched his shoulder and swung him round.
hvd.32044021006432	“ What's the matter, ” he cried, “ what has hap- pened? ” “ Lieutenant, have you heard the news? ” “ Good lord, no!
hvd.32044021006432	“ What's the matter, ” he cried, “ what has hap- pened? ” “ Lieutenant, have you heard the news? ” “ Good lord, no!
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where are you taking me? ” she asked.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where are you wounded? ” The wounded man stared before him as though he dared not look at the officer.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where do I come from?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where do you come from?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where have I been?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where have you been?—What has happened to you? ” La Flemme dropped onto the ground like a log.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Where the devil am I? ” he murmured.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Who am I?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Who are you?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Who are you?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Who are you? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Who are you? ” “ The person who cried: For France and for Colette. ” At the name of his fiancée Monet could not help a groan of pain.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Who is the woman?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Why not let him meet Carlotta in the ministry?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Why the devil are you here, Lieutenant? ” “ No use staring at me like that, ” replied the offi- cer.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Why the devil did you send that idiotic priest to your husband?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Why?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Will you answer me frankly? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021006432	“ Will you speak?
hvd.32044021006432	“ Yes. ” “ And Brigitte Bayen also? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You are not convinced? ” asked the Kaiser.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You are sure this is the yellow document? ” “ I am sure of it, ” answered de Tersy.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You are — what is your name? ” “ Hush.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You did n't know I was there?
hvd.32044021006432	“ You do n't believe me?
hvd.32044021006432	“ You have nothing further to tell me? ” he asked.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You know it?
hvd.32044021006432	“ You see this small window?
hvd.32044021006432	“ You sent for me, Colonel? ” “ Yes, to give you an order.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You want me to kill this young man? ” “ Yes.
hvd.32044021006432	“ You were afraid?
hvd.32044021006432	“ You ’re not drunk?
hvd.32044021006432	“ You ’re not drunk?
hvd.hxdmtk	Burwell is dead, is he not? ” were his first words.
hvd.hxdmtk	I know that you will heed my wishes? ” 64 THE CARD UNVEILED done one night when there was ab- solutely no one in the house but my wife and myself.
hvd.hxdmtk	It does n’t seem possible, does it, that a simple white card with some words scrawled on it in purple ink could effect a man's undoing?
hvd.hxdmtk	What could be the meaning of the words on that infer- nal piece of pasteboard?
hvd.hxdmtk	“ Then, for God ’s sake, tell me, what does it all mean? ” he gasped, quivering with excitement.
hvd.hxdmtk	“ What was your sister's idea in giving Burwell the card? ” I asked.
hvd.hn887c	Agnes? — Where's Agnes?
hvd.hn887c	Agnes? — Where's Agnes?
hvd.hn887c	Ah, you mean that Mr. Moberley was killed by his nephew? ” McNulty stepped forward. hvd.hn887c And what time have you had to do that?"
hvd.hn887c	Anything else, sir? hvd.hn887c Are you awake, Jim?"
hvd.hn887c	Are you coming, Sergeant? ”No, Mr. Moberley.
hvd.hn887c	As hostage? ” Montie smiled. hvd.hn887c At what time did you leave the Palatine restaurant?"
hvd.hn887c	Ben, where did you get this? ” “ It's mine! ” Ben repeated doggedly. hvd.hn887c But where is Mr. Charles Moberley?
hvd.hn887c	But why do you tell me all this?
hvd.hn887c	By the way, Mr. Seward Moberley never married, did he? ”No, sir.
hvd.hn887c	Can you recall the date?
hvd.hn887c	Did Mr. Moberley frequently write letters in his sitting- room at night? ”Occasionally, sir.
hvd.hn887c	Did Mr. Moberley give this to you? ” The question was unfortunate. hvd.hn887c Did he dress on these occasions? ”"Evening clothes, you mean, sir? ” George looked up in surprise at the question.
hvd.hn887c	Did he dress on these occasions? ”Evening clothes, you mean, sir? ” George looked up in surprise at the question.
hvd.hn887c	Did n't he tell you? ” McNulty parried blandly. hvd.hn887c Did you manage to overhear what the housemaid and the kitchenmaid said to each other? ” McNulty de- manded.
hvd.hn887c	Do you know where he went on those evenings? ” McNulty leaned suddenly across the table and looked straight into the faded eyes confronting him. hvd.hn887c Do you want the other one now, Sergeant?"
hvd.hn887c	Excuse me, but this is Mr. Seward Moberley's place, is n't it?
hvd.hn887c	Gentlemen, you will be as brief as possible?
hvd.hn887c	George, for how long past has it been Mr. Mober- ley's habit to go out every Wednesday evening?
hvd.hn887c	Has Mr. Bankhead been notified, Sergeant? hvd.hn887c Has anybody noticed the particulars in the paper of how Andrew Cayard went to his death? ” he asked.
hvd.hn887c	Have they learned of your engage- ment-? ”Oh, yes!
hvd.hn887c	Have you been all through the lower THE LETTER 69Your name is George Knapp? ” McNulty asked gently.
hvd.hn887c	He had not mentioned it to you, then? ”Certainly not!
hvd.hn887c	Hear it, Pete? hvd.hn887c Hey, what in time's that there lantern doing on that stump?"
hvd.hn887c	How are you going to do it? ” he demanded. hvd.hn887c How goes it?
hvd.hn887c	How long have you known him?
hvd.hn887c	I do n't suppose it would have been possible for us to bump along on flat tires to the nearest house? hvd.hn887c I might have known that he would go and let that beastly house of his burn down on the one night when it could be of the slightest use to me?
hvd.hn887c	I thought you might have discussed the coming change in his life"Married?
hvd.hn887c	I wonder if that's Charlie? hvd.hn887c I wonder why whoever took the car away put on two new tires instead of using the spare wheel?
hvd.hn887c	If you will wait in here? ”I know that face, ” the detective mused when the man had gone to deliver his message.
hvd.hn887c	If, as you say, the room in which you found him was not in disorder, and there were no signs of a struggle, how do you account for it? hvd.hn887c It is you, George?
hvd.hn887c	Mr. Charles Moberley is his nephew? hvd.hn887c Mr. Charles'? ” McNulty repeated.
hvd.hn887c	Mr. Moberley telephoned to the garage? ”. hvd.hn887c Mr. Moberley, what weapon did you use? ” Mc- Nulty eyed him narrowly.
hvd.hn887c	No one can avenge his death as I can when I find the man!—You'll stay with me at least for to- night, Montie?
hvd.hn887c	Oh, sir, who did it?
hvd.hn887c	Shall I call her apartment? hvd.hn887c The one you persuaded Mr. Moberley to execute?
hvd.hn887c	The other detective! ” Had Tully, then, not obeyed orders? hvd.hn887c Whass matter? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn887c	What burglars? ”. hvd.hn887c What did the nice gentleman give you something pretty like this for? ”"Because I show him this in the dark time!"
hvd.hn887c	What did you get out of Bankhead? hvd.hn887c What do 94 THE CRIMSON BLOTTER you mean?
hvd.hn887c	What do you know about this? hvd.hn887c What does this mean? ” he demanded, and his usually merry eyes flashed fire.
hvd.hn887c	What is his address?
hvd.hn887c	What is his name? hvd.hn887c What is it? ” the reporter asked, but at that moment Donlin reëntered from the bedroom.
hvd.hn887c	What is it?
hvd.hn887c	What sort of plans?
hvd.hn887c	What's all this leading up to?
hvd.hn887c	What's that for? ” asked Peter. hvd.hn887c What's the idea now?"
hvd.hn887c	When did you first know that anything had hap pened?
hvd.hn887c	Where are you going? hvd.hn887c Where did he get that ten dollar gold piece?"
hvd.hn887c	Where does the passageway lead to?
hvd.hn887c	Where the deuce have you been?
hvd.hn887c	Who is your brother- in- law and where does he live?
hvd.hn887c	Who takes the mail from the house here?
hvd.hn887c	Wo n't you tell me?
hvd.hn887c	Y- yes, sir, all but the rough work; the houseman does that. ” “ Which rooms do you set to rights first in the morn- ing? ” McNulty pursued. hvd.hn887c You are Montgomery Russell? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn887c	You are Mr. Charles Moberley? ”I am.
hvd.hn887c	You are from the New York Police Department? hvd.hn887c You clean the entire house, including Mr. Moberley's bedroom and private sitting- room, do you not?"
hvd.hn887c	You do n't need an extra hand, do you? ” McNulty threw just the right note of wistfulness into his voice. hvd.hn887c You intend to adhere to that assertion, Mr. Russell? ”"It is a statement of fact, Sergeant."
hvd.hn887c	You see? hvd.hn887c You were present when Mr. Moberley made this ante- mortem statement? ”"I was."
hvd.hn887c	You will wish to remain here, then, until the return of Mr. Moberley, of which you are so confident? ” he asked. hvd.hn887c 'Besides how could I know what you had said when you talked to him before me? hvd.hn887c 'Phone me if you make any headway with the Grey girl. ” “ You do n't want much, do you? ” Peter asked with withering scor. hvd.hn887c 138 THE CRIMSON BLOTTERAre you going to take personal charge of the case, Chief? ” McNulty asked, after a pause.
hvd.hn887c	156 THE RED DOG 157"If you will go into the drawing- room, Mr. Russell-? ” He gestured formally toward the door of that apartment.
hvd.hn887c	207 208 THE CRIMSON BLOTTER You could have done it, Jimmy; why did n't you think of it?"
hvd.hn887c	270 THE CRIMSON BLOTTER “ Is this it?"
hvd.hn887c	A masculine voice, unmistakably youthful but broken with strong emotion, exclaimed:"But why wo n't that ass Dalrymple let me see him, Montie?
hvd.hn887c	After all, he had found Peter and what was the use of going any further?
hvd.hn887c	Are you game? ”.
hvd.hn887c	But where could they have spent the evening?
hvd.hn887c	By whom?"
hvd.hn887c	Call him up and give him just that message, do you hear?
hvd.hn887c	Can you picture the panic on the Street? ”.
hvd.hn887c	Can you see my Big Boss and your chief if they knew where we were at this mo ment?
hvd.hn887c	Cayard?
hvd.hn887c	Climb in, Jim; say, how many telegrams did you send, anyway?"
hvd.hn887c	Could he be at sea?
hvd.hn887c	Could it be that he would die without speaking those vital words?
hvd.hn887c	Could it be, however, that Agnes knew or suspected the author of the crime and was attempting to shield him?
hvd.hn887c	Could that shot have found a mark?
hvd.hn887c	Could there be an alter- native and dreaded idea in her own mind of the manner of his death?
hvd.hn887c	Could they have known, before they ap- peared, the nature of the tragic news which awaited them on arrival?
hvd.hn887c	Could you yourself be- lieve that she cared as a wife should?
hvd.hn887c	Did Moberley's nephew know who the old gentleman's fiancée was?"
hvd.hn887c	Did Mr. Moberley men- tion the sum he proposed to settle upon you? ” “ No.
hvd.hn887c	Did he mention having received any threatening letters or that sort of thing? ” “ No!
hvd.hn887c	Did he put them in any especial place for you to gather up for the post bag or give them to you personally?"
hvd.hn887c	Did he write it and put it away some- where till morning?
hvd.hn887c	Did she fear that her sister might in- advertently give to McNulty himself a clew to the truth?
hvd.hn887c	Did you carry it away with you?".
hvd.hn887c	Did you ever have your fortune told?"
hvd.hn887c	Did you ever hear of a- well, we'll call him a veterinary doctor named'Hillis,'who makes a specialty of raising red dogs? ” “ I never did!"
hvd.hn887c	Did you ever know that, Franck?
hvd.hn887c	Did you find the'phone, sir?"
hvd.hn887c	Did you know of any threats having been made against Mr. Moberley by any- body employed on the place? ”.
hvd.hn887c	Did you learn anything more about him than we already know, Nutty? ”"One or two facts, ” Jim replied.
hvd.hn887c	Did you learn what name she was us- ing there?"
hvd.hn887c	Dinner time? ”.
hvd.hn887c	Do you know of any one who had a grudge against him? ”"I do not!
hvd.hn887c	Do you know the roads out to Cold Spring?"
hvd.hn887c	Do you remember the huge muscles on those tremendously long arms of his and that shock of tow- colored hair?
hvd.hn887c	Do you want to see all the servants at once or one at a time, Sergeant? ”.
hvd.hn887c	Get that?
hvd.hn887c	Had n't I better send him a wire?
hvd.hn887c	Had she anything, however innocent, to do with the menace which threatened the great man?
hvd.hn887c	Has Miss Jaffray con- sented to come?"
hvd.hn887c	Have they caught the burglars yet, sir?".
hvd.hn887c	Have you ever heard that Mr. Moberley's life was threatened?
hvd.hn887c	Have you forgotten that? ” The chief stared.
hvd.hn887c	Have you had a look at him yet?
hvd.hn887c	Have you no clew?"
hvd.hn887c	Have you told the chief? ” demanded Peter when he could find his voice.
hvd.hn887c	Henshaw?"
hvd.hn887c	His voice sounded like that of an old skinflint who would n't even waste his breath, but he treated us pretty civilly, did n't he?
hvd.hn887c	How and when did you receive this? ”"Through the early mail this morning.
hvd.hn887c	How could this fearful tragedy have been foreseen?
hvd.hn887c	How many guest rooms are there? ” “ Six, sir. ” Agnes eyed him in surprise at the ques- tion.
hvd.hn887c	How the deuce did you know? ” the young man demanded in surprise.
hvd.hn887c	How the devil did we get here?"
hvd.hn887c	I am inexpressibly shocked!-You are in official charge here, Sergeant?
hvd.hn887c	I feel as if I'd been in a graveyard after an earthquake!-Have you seen anything suspicious?
hvd.hn887c	I know that might apply to a million other people right at this minute, but where did you last hear that description given?
hvd.hn887c	I wonder why he changed his routine this of all nights? ”"By Jove, yes!
hvd.hn887c	I- I do not know, sir, whether you have been told?"
hvd.hn887c	If I can find what I'm looking for quickly, do you think we could make town by one o'clock?"
hvd.hn887c	If this Miss Jaffray is alone in the world, who is this man Cayard who'phoned her home to- day?
hvd.hn887c	If you are a married man yourself-?"
hvd.hn887c	If you are not drawing upon your imagination, what did take place here?"
hvd.hn887c	Is it a hoax? ” Jim pursed up his lips reflectively as he examined the postmark.
hvd.hn887c	Is n't it always kept in condition?"
hvd.hn887c	Is n't that rusty thing in the wall over there a spigot?"
hvd.hn887c	Is there anybody around? ”"I have n't heard anything except a drove of rats over- head, ” McNulty replied grimly, in cautiously lowered tones.
hvd.hn887c	It ought to be worded in a veiled sort of way, do n't you think?
hvd.hn887c	It was burglars, was n't it?
hvd.hn887c	Know anything about this young Charles, Pete?
hvd.hn887c	May I have Tully when you are through with him?
hvd.hn887c	Might not the reference to the fireplace have been related to it in her mind, unconsciously per- haps, with burned ones?
hvd.hn887c	Moberley, I must ask you again; when did you last see your uncle? ” “ Eh?"
hvd.hn887c	Moberley, I must ask you again; when did you last see your uncle? ” “ Eh?"
hvd.hn887c	Moberley, have you to your knowledge an enemy in this world?"
hvd.hn887c	Moberley?"
hvd.hn887c	Montie Russell paused for breath and then as an idea dawned upon him he added indignantly: “ I say, what did you mean by that question, Sergeant?
hvd.hn887c	Mr. Conklin is just a friend, sir. ”"Where does he work?"
hvd.hn887c	Oh, whatever is the matter with him, please, sir, and why is George carrying on so?"
hvd.hn887c	PETER STEALS A BASE 27 That's fair enough for your chief not to kick, is n't it?"
hvd.hn887c	Sayles?!!
hvd.hn887c	See THE BRONZE SWORD 55 those two bronze figures over there?
hvd.hn887c	She checked herself suddenly with a look of fright, but McNulty asked quickly:"And what did Agnes say?"
hvd.hn887c	Surely a madman must have done this unspeakable thing, or —"“ Or what?"
hvd.hn887c	That would be a lot to hand the newspapers as the sum total of our prog- ress, would n't it? ”.
hvd.hn887c	That's the chance young Russell had taken for somebody, do n't you see?
hvd.hn887c	That's why he came late in the afternoon — to tell me. ” “ Why did n't he come to the house? ”'Her flush deepened.
hvd.hn887c	The game is up, do you hear? ” But Flora Jaffray did not hear.
hvd.hn887c	The weapon slipped, as you see, making a slight incision and then a deeper one beside it.—Can this be the medical examiner's assistant?
hvd.hn887c	Then raising his voice, he called: “ Donlin! ” “'Impossible'? ” Agnes repeated in visible agitation.
hvd.hn887c	Then you thought, if Mr. Moberley had lived, that he intended to marry? ” McNulty kept his voice studiously indifferent.
hvd.hn887c	Then, for the first time, McNulty raised himself to the seat and spoke:"What's doing at the Moberley house?
hvd.hn887c	There is n't a thing in there that is less than a quarter of a century old at the very least, Jim. ”"Is n't there? ” McNulty cried triumphantly.
hvd.hn887c	Under- stand?"
hvd.hn887c	Understand?
hvd.hn887c	Was he al- ready gone?
hvd.hn887c	Was he turning coward that he could not patrol a gentleman's estate at night without a guardian himself?
hvd.hn887c	Was it his fancy or had there been a peculiar note in her voice when she spoke of the waste paper basket?
hvd.hn887c	Was it one of exultation?
hvd.hn887c	Was that feeling in my bones prophetic this morn- ing?"
hvd.hn887c	Was the date set for your marriage?".
hvd.hn887c	Was there any sound of a disturbance?"
hvd.hn887c	Was your uncle in the habit of keep- ing any valuables in the house?-heirlooms, jewelry, money, negotiable securities?
hvd.hn887c	We can submit to it, of course, or we can take one desperate chance. ”"What do you mean?"
hvd.hn887c	We have n't even a minute to lose in getting away from here!—What are you doing? ”.
hvd.hn887c	Were any of the outside men- gardeners or stable hands — turned off the place recently and did they consider their dismissal unjust?
hvd.hn887c	What caused the delay? ”"When we reached the garage Mr. Moberley's car was n't ready. ” Montie clipped his words short in digni- fied resentment.
hvd.hn887c	What chance had he already taken for this unknown person which, if it did not succeed, might get them all “ in Dutch ”?
hvd.hn887c	What could he do for her?
hvd.hn887c	What do you think of Miss Jaffray, Jim?
hvd.hn887c	What do you think of them both, Jim?"
hvd.hn887c	What do you want me to do?"
hvd.hn887c	What does he give you candy for?
hvd.hn887c	What has become of it?"
hvd.hn887c	What if at the last moment his quarry should slip through his fingers?
hvd.hn887c	What if he could not fight off the effects of whatever drug he had taken and should fall unconscious into the hands of this unknown enemy?
hvd.hn887c	What is his name? ”"Ralph Conklin, sir. ” Her own tones were very low.
hvd.hn887c	What is it that the world can say?"
hvd.hn887c	What is the large order, other than to find Seward Moberley's murderer?"
hvd.hn887c	What makes you so sure regarding that hunch of yours? ”.
hvd.hn887c	What shall I say, Sergeant?
hvd.hn887c	What time is it?
hvd.hn887c	What was her motive in seeking to gain his allegiance?
hvd.hn887c	What was it you had to do? ”"Why, clean the brasses! ” Ben looked up with a gleam of intelligence, his wandering mind quickly di- verted.
hvd.hn887c	What's got hold of you?
hvd.hn887c	What's that cop doing in the house, and why 90 THE CRIMSON BLOTTER are there two other cars beside Dalrymple's parked out- side?
hvd.hn887c	Whatever made you think I- I was going to get married, sir? ”"You have no male relatives? ”"No, sir.
hvd.hn887c	Whatever made you think I- I was going to get married, sir? ”"You have no male relatives? ”"No, sir.
hvd.hn887c	When did you last see your uncle?"
hvd.hn887c	Where did she get the money? ”"If that's all —!
hvd.hn887c	Where has Mr. Moberley gone?"
hvd.hn887c	Where have you been, anyway, these last two days while I've stayed cooped up here like a kid in a nursery?"
hvd.hn887c	Where is the young gentleman's father? ”.
hvd.hn887c	Where was Peter?
hvd.hn887c	Where's Agnes? ” “ She'll be here in a minute."
hvd.hn887c	Who could this woman be?
hvd.hn887c	Who did you get on the wire? ”"Barney Franck,"replied Peter over his shoulder.
hvd.hn887c	Who had been listening in?
hvd.hn887c	Who is she? ”"Do n't know her name but she's young, wears mourn- ing, and lives alone in some apartment house near Cen- tral Park.
hvd.hn887c	Who was it that had to get under cover before exposure came?"
hvd.hn887c	Who who could have killed Seward! ”"Where are these men? ” The masculine voice had become crisp.
hvd.hn887c	Who — who did it? ”'That is what we are here to determine, ” McNulty responded.
hvd.hn887c	Whom had he warned to get"under cover"?
hvd.hn887c	Why did he not continue to make his home here where he was brought up?"
hvd.hn887c	Why did you mention'fire'just now?"
hvd.hn887c	Why had it been thrust so roughly in that drawer as to rumple and tear the lower layer of programs?
hvd.hn887c	Why had that im- pulse come to her only after his suggestion of Mr. Moberley's possible marriage?"
hvd.hn887c	Will you give me the name and address, please, of Seward Moberley's fiancée? ” The quietly uttered request had all the effect of a bombshell.
hvd.hn887c	Wonder why he sat all huddled up in that greatcoat as though he were afraid of the cold and yet left his head bare?"
hvd.hn887c	Yet why was she so anxious to have that sister's theory of the identity of their em- ployer's murderers confirmed?
hvd.hn887c	You are going across the river, then?
hvd.hn887c	You can drive a car; come here just a minute. ”"What's up?"
hvd.hn887c	You did n't hold that blotter up before any mirror, therefore you were n't even trying to read those faint pen strokes--and what else is left?
hvd.hn887c	You did n't think to bring along a can of coffee or anything when you got those sand- wiches?
hvd.hn887c	You have him well trained, have n't you?
hvd.hn887c	You know Agnes, do n't you? ” The man looked up and nodded furtively.
hvd.hn887c	You know that wonderful old place of his that has been in his family for generations, away up above Riverside Drive proper?
hvd.hn887c	You play it, of course? ”"I — I have. ” Montie's jaw dropped.
hvd.hn887c	You remember about her, do n't you?
hvd.hn887c	You're not trying to make him establish an alibi, or anything of that sort, are you?
hvd.hn887c	You're quite sure you heard nothing during the night? ”"As sure as that I'm standing on my two feet this minute! ” Her voice rose as she spoke.
hvd.hn887c	You've got men at the back and side doors?"
hvd.hn887c	candy, ” McNulty interrupted and then, as the housemaid appeared in the doorway, he asked hurriedly:"What is it, Agnes? ”"A telegram for you, sir.
hvd.hn887c	of that cryptic message he had overheard Montie deliver- ing at the phone?
hvd.hn887c	retorted Jim, adding: “ Is Bradley still in charge of the morgue in the Despatch offices?"
hvd.hn887c	the oppressors of the poor?

hvd.hn887c	“ Anything stirring about the house, Donlin? ” AMONG WHISPERING TREES 43 through a se sitting 111 he got up,"No, sir.
hvd.hn887c	“ Awake?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Ben get Agnes? ” “ Good boy! ” The detective gave him a few more candies, but sparingly.
hvd.hn887c	“ But why did you wish to keep your engagement secret, Miss Jaffray?
hvd.hn887c	“ Call Donlin, will you? ” he asked in an undertone.
hvd.hn887c	“ Did Mr. Moberley send you up here?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Did he entertain here frequently? ”"Everybody was his friend,"responded the old man simply.
hvd.hn887c	“ Did n't you tell me Parker said that Mr. Moberley was in the habit lately of going out on Wednesday and Saturday evenings?
hvd.hn887c	“ Did you get any dope from the servants?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Did you not think it strange that he should not have revealed to you the nature of this coup? ”.
hvd.hn887c	“ Did you overhear any more about Mr. Moberley or the lady or his nephew? ”"No, though I waited a good twenty minutes longer.
hvd.hn887c	“ Did you, Mr. Russell?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Dinner?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Do they suggest anything to you beyond the mere obvious fact of their presence?
hvd.hn887c	“ Do you realize what you have just said? —'A man with gray hair and his cap pulled down low over his eyes!'
hvd.hn887c	“ Do you recognize the party, Sergeant?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Do you suppose he had more than an inkling as to the identity of that letter writer, or at least the person referred to in it?
hvd.hn887c	“ George, where are you?
hvd.hn887c	“ Going to search the house?
hvd.hn887c	“ Have you any particular crook in mind? ” Jim laughed.
hvd.hn887c	“ He said it was a man with his cap pulled down over his eyes and gray hair, did n't he?
hvd.hn887c	“ How about the blood stains? ” Pete looked closer, then uttered a startled exclamation and pushed aside his friend's hand.
hvd.hn887c	“ How about the trick you went down there to pull off? ” the detective demanded.
hvd.hn887c	“ How dare you? ” Agnes gasped in defiance, but a look of fear leaped from her eyes.
hvd.hn887c	“ How did you find out that the lady lived all alone in that apartment house near Central Park?"
hvd.hn887c	“ How old is he?".
hvd.hn887c	“ I can go at it in my own way, then? ”"Sure!"
hvd.hn887c	“ I do n't want to flash my lamp so close to the house, but who's that with you?
hvd.hn887c	“ I stole a base on you that time, did n't I?"
hvd.hn887c	“ I suppose your chief has n't taken the lid off yet as far as I am concerned, has he?
hvd.hn887c	“ I swear I can feel it, ca n't you, Pete?"
hvd.hn887c	“ I was out of luck, was n't I, when I picked on Kim? ” he acknowledged.
hvd.hn887c	“ I wonder where I've seen it before?"
hvd.hn887c	“ In the event that your marriage had taken place and Mr. Seward Moberley died before you, surely you would have been the princi- pal legatee?"
hvd.hn887c	“ May I ask when you arrived upon the scene?"
hvd.hn887c	“ My butler mentioned something about a threat of pub- licity —?"
hvd.hn887c	“ No crime has been committed yet! ” “ You mean that the matter of this letter does not properly belong in the hands of the homicide bureau?
hvd.hn887c	“ Not very complimen- tary to the Department, is it, Chief?
hvd.hn887c	“ Since my own alibi has been proven by so reputable a witness I presume that I am no longer detained here? ”"I'm afraid so, Russell.
hvd.hn887c	“ Sit down, Mr. Russell. ”"What the devil has happened to your eyebrows, Sergeant?"
hvd.hn887c	“ So he is afraid of an epidemic of murders?
hvd.hn887c	“ Some virago, is n't she?- What do you think about that houseman, Jim?
hvd.hn887c	“ Turn the envelope over, Jim; is anything written on it?"
hvd.hn887c	“ What are you driving at, Jim? ”"Just that.
hvd.hn887c	“ What are your orders? ” “ Take this man and woman into another room."
hvd.hn887c	“ What did Mr. Moberley do with the letters he wrote at home?
hvd.hn887c	“ What did Parker mean by that?"
hvd.hn887c	“ What did you do after you had your dinner last night?
hvd.hn887c	“ What do you mean, Pete?
hvd.hn887c	“ What do you think of it?
hvd.hn887c	“ What do you think of the weapon?"
hvd.hn887c	“ What in the world do you want with them, Jim?"
hvd.hn887c	“ What is it? ” McNulty spoke for the first time since the mishap.
hvd.hn887c	“ What on earth are you talking about? ” Peter de- manded in his turn, but the detective did not hear.
hvd.hn887c	“ What sort of noises?"
hvd.hn887c	“ What time is it now?"
hvd.hn887c	“ What were those four words? ” Theodore Bank- head's inquisitorial calm deserted him for an instant and he spoke with unconcealed eagerness.
hvd.hn887c	“ What will become of me? ” His smile grew suddenly set.
hvd.hn887c	“ What's all this nonsense about hiding in cupboards, anyway?
hvd.hn887c	“ What's that about a lunatic? ” McNulty asked sharply.
hvd.hn887c	“ Whatever gave THE LADY IN BLACK 115 you that hunch, Jim?
hvd.hn887c	“ When did you get through cleaning the brasses, Ben?
hvd.hn887c	“ When had he been out in it last?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Where are we headed for, anyway? ”.
hvd.hn887c	“ Where are you going? ”"To see the chief."
hvd.hn887c	“ Where did you hear all this? ” he demanded gruffly.
hvd.hn887c	“ Where did you see her? ”.
hvd.hn887c	“ Where is Bennett? ” he demanded of a mechanician who was tinkering with Charles Moberley's high- powered roadster.
hvd.hn887c	“ Where is it now?
hvd.hn887c	“ Where were you and Charles Moberley last evening? ”.
hvd.hn887c	“ While we were lying dead to the world in that barn? ” 276 SURPRISES 277 “ No.
hvd.hn887c	“ Who are we and what is our business?"
hvd.hn887c	“ Who — who hurt you like this? ” The graying lips parted, but for a moment no words came.
hvd.hn887c	“ Why?
hvd.hn887c	“ Will you come into the library?
hvd.hn887c	“ With Montie Russell?
hvd.hn887c	“ You and he were together all last evening? ” “ Since five in the afternoon.
hvd.hn887c	“ You are Henrietta Williams, the kitchenmaid? ” he asked.
hvd.hn887c	“ You are Miss Florence Jaffray? ” She nodded and as the detective looked at her, Parker's description came to his mind.
hvd.hn887c	“ You blithering idiot, ca n't you remember that we were framed by an old gink in a car and doped with raspberry juice?
hvd.hn887c	“ You came down to the sitting- room-? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn887c	“ You do n't suppose that whoever drugged us brought us in here to keep us from catching cold, though, do you?
hvd.hn887c	“ You have no clew to the actual murderer other than the late Mr. Moberley's description, Sergeant? ” he asked.
hvd.hn887c	“ You heard Mr. Moberley's dying statement, did n't you, Sarah? ”"About the man who had stabbed him?
hvd.hn887c	“ You heard Mr. Moberley's dying statement, did n't you, Sarah? ”"About the man who had stabbed him?
hvd.hn887c	“ You heard or saw nothing, then, during the night?"
hvd.hn887c	“ You knew that your guest Miss Jaffray was engaged to marry him? ” McNulty asked.
hvd.hn887c	“ You mean Mr. Moberley's nephew? ”.
hvd.hn887c	“ You obeyed him at once, George? ” THE LETTER 71 “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn887c	“ You remember, Jim, what I heard her sister say about spending her savings on a lot of silly clothes to fascinate Parker?"
hvd.hn887c	“ You want Agnes? ” he asked.
hvd.hn887c	“ You're not lying down on the job, are you? ”"I am not! ” Peter returned gayly.
hvd.hn887c	“ You've been talking to her, have n't you, sir?
hvd.hn887c	“ Your sister is going to marry Parker, I under- stand; are you not also thinking of getting married? ”"Me, sir! ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hn887c	“ “ Corroboration?'
hvd.hn887c	“'And what else did you tell him, you fool?'
hvd.hn887c	• “'Garden?'
hvd.hnqphe	And above all, why assault an officer of the law? hvd.hnqphe Any objection to this being sent? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqphe	Is he going away? ” “ Yes. hvd.hnqphe Is it absolutely necessary for you to go?"
hvd.hnqphe	Not even by wireless? ”. hvd.hnqphe Some friend of yours? ” he asked, sus- piciously.
hvd.hnqphe	To you? hvd.hnqphe What do you wish to do now? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqphe	What for?
hvd.hnqphe	What is the h'aristocracy comin'to? hvd.hnqphe What message am I to take to Herr Schwartz?"
hvd.hnqphe	Where is the woman?'' hvd.hnqphe Who are you?"
hvd.hnqphe	You mean to question him about it?
hvd.hnqphe	You will know it,Hoffman remarked, steadily,"when you hear the information I am prepared to give. ” “ What information?
hvd.hnqphe	192 THE WEB Was he, perhaps, on his way to meet Mademoi- selle Mercier, the former seamstress?
hvd.hnqphe	240 THE WEB for a most fortunate chance that enabled me to effect my escape. ” “ So?
hvd.hnqphe	70 THE WEB “ What have you been doing with yourself, mon ami? ” she asked, gaily.
hvd.hnqphe	Am I to trust her?"
hvd.hnqphe	And after all, what information could she hope to get here? ” “ That's just the point.
hvd.hnqphe	And how do you expect me to say what your in- 36 THE WEB formation is worth, until I know what it is? ” Hoffman was for the moment non- plussed.
hvd.hnqphe	And if the British fleet did sail, what then?
hvd.hnqphe	And, Nelly, if I do n't appear, in the morning, tell Patricia I've been obliged to leave London for a while. ” “ Why_where are you going?"
hvd.hnqphe	Are you in love with her, my friend?".
hvd.hnqphe	Are you ready to do so? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	But had she?
hvd.hnqphe	But how did you know that? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	But why talk in this strain?
hvd.hnqphe	By the way – have you seen anything of your- assistant? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Can you not perhaps employ me? ” “ What is your name? ”'Patricia asked, coldly.
hvd.hnqphe	Can you not perhaps employ me? ” “ What is your name? ”'Patricia asked, coldly.
hvd.hnqphe	Did she re- turn here? ” “ No.
hvd.hnqphe	Did she say where she was going? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Did you succeed? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Do I make myself clear?"
hvd.hnqphe	Do n't you see the reason for it?
hvd.hnqphe	Do you mean to imply, for a moment, that they could suppose you a German spy?
hvd.hnqphe	Do you understand?"
hvd.hnqphe	Do you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqphe	For all I know, the man may be one of the agents of Herr Schwartz himself. ” “ But, would you not know him? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Good! ” the older man muttered, “ Is that all?"
hvd.hnqphe	Had anything gone wrong?
hvd.hnqphe	Had n't you better send for him?"
hvd.hnqphe	Had she seen him copying the cable dispatch?
hvd.hnqphe	Have a ci- gar, wo n't you?
hvd.hnqphe	Have you anything else to pro- pose?"
hvd.hnqphe	Have you anything to say?"
hvd.hnqphe	Have you received any encouragement from the War Office?"
hvd.hnqphe	Have you seen her? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	He has been good enough to say that he will do for me what he can. ” “ A favor? ” Patricia looked from Hoffman to his companion.
hvd.hnqphe	He said he might not see you again for a long time. ” “ Why not? ” The girl sat up, drying her eyes.
hvd.hnqphe	Hoff- man rose, as his companion did, and handed him 182 THE WEB “ Where is Alan? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqphe	Hoffman? ” he inquired, pleasantly.
hvd.hnqphe	Hoffman?"
hvd.hnqphe	How am I to communicate with you? ” “ In this way.
hvd.hnqphe	How are things in England? ” “ Very quiet.
hvd.hnqphe	How can I be sure that you are what you represent yourself to be? ” She had anticipated the objection, and met it.
hvd.hnqphe	How could Miss Liebmann have been so quickly aware of the signal?
hvd.hnqphe	How could a girl like that mean anything to me?
hvd.hnqphe	How did you know? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	How did you manage to do it?"
hvd.hnqphe	I came back at once. ”"And — do you expect to stay here the rest of the night? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hnqphe	I can stay but a moment. ” “ What do you want? ” Hoffman muttered.
hvd.hnqphe	I could see it from your face, and also, I could see that you are- kind. ” “ Kind? ” Hoffman questioned, vaguely.
hvd.hnqphe	I hope you do n't think, Patricia, that I had any interest in the girl?"
hvd.hnqphe	I only hope that the results will be what we expect. ” “ And what do you expect?
hvd.hnqphe	I rather suspect that you will receive new orders from him. ” “ How?"
hvd.hnqphe	I sent forward some news about a transport, last night,"“ Oh- you got that, did you?"
hvd.hnqphe	I should say so! ” “ What is it, Alan?"
hvd.hnqphe	I think I am in a position to give you — your government- some valuable information. ”"So? ” The German's eyes betrayed a trifle more interest.
hvd.hnqphe	If he did not ap- pear to claim the money, suspicion would be at once cast upon the whole affair. ” “ But- how can he go?
hvd.hnqphe	In fact, the man who came in just as I left seemed to be of the same opinion as I was. ” “ You left him there? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqphe	In faot, I had nothing to do with it at all. ” “ Then why did he do it?".
hvd.hnqphe	Is it any wonder we are disturbed? ” He passed the document over to Hoffman for his inspection.
hvd.hnqphe	Is it not enough? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Is n't it far more likely that she is a member of the English secret service?".
hvd.hnqphe	Is n't it splendid?
hvd.hnqphe	Is that agreed?"
hvd.hnqphe	Is there anything that I can do for you?".
hvd.hnqphe	Is this true?
hvd.hnqphe	Is your conscience trou- bling you? ” “ No.
hvd.hnqphe	It is now waiting. ” “ You do not, then, trust me? ” The man shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hnqphe	It's the luckiest thing in the world, do n't you think? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Not only would my arrest have brought disgrace upon the entire family, but Miss Brooke has done me the honor to fall in love with me. ” “ So?
hvd.hnqphe	Or should she await her re- appearance?
hvd.hnqphe	Or was it, perhaps, due to fear that his movements were in turn being watched by the English po- lice?
hvd.hnqphe	Should she follow her within, demand to see her?
hvd.hnqphe	Sturdee is in a serious plight. ” “ You have done nothing to remedy matters, I suppose?"
hvd.hnqphe	Sturdee will make for the Falkland Islands, joining the battleship Cano- pus. ” “ Is that generally known?'

hvd.hnqphe	The rooms will already have been engaged, in your name, when you reach London. ” “ By whom?'
hvd.hnqphe	The transport?".
hvd.hnqphe	To stop in London? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqphe	Upon which must he impale himself?
hvd.hnqphe	Violette Mercier. ” “ You have your passport, your credentials? ” “ Oh, but yes, mademoiselle.
hvd.hnqphe	Was he to remain where he was the rest of the night?
hvd.hnqphe	Was it in response to the signals he had just made, or had she sought him out on her own initiative?
hvd.hnqphe	Was it lack of confidence in him?
hvd.hnqphe	Was the girl one of Herr Schwartz's agents, sent, perhaps, to test him, his loyalty?
hvd.hnqphe	Was the whole thing a trap?
hvd.hnqphe	Was this, also, a test?

hvd.hnqphe	What for?
hvd.hnqphe	What had happened to so change her manner toward him?
hvd.hnqphe	What had she come to his rooms for?
hvd.hnqphe	What have you to tell me?"
hvd.hnqphe	What is it?".
hvd.hnqphe	What is the trouble now?
hvd.hnqphe	What is trou- bling you?"
hvd.hnqphe	What kind, sir? ” the young man asked with an ingratiating smirk.
hvd.hnqphe	What orders shall we give our commander- to find von Spee?
hvd.hnqphe	What then?"
hvd.hnqphe	What was her life, compared with that of thou- sands?
hvd.hnqphe	What was it?"
hvd.hnqphe	What was she doing here, he wondered?
hvd.hnqphe	What would Patricia, what would they all think, when they learned of his departure?
hvd.hnqphe	What would you advise?
hvd.hnqphe	What's new here?"
hvd.hnqphe	What's the matter with you, anyway?
hvd.hnqphe	When do you leave for Antwerp?".
hvd.hnqphe	When is the next train? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	Where are you going, now? ” Hoffman flushed.
hvd.hnqphe	Who are you?"
hvd.hnqphe	Why did the latter repose so little faith in him?
hvd.hnqphe	Why do n't you go to Paris for a change?
hvd.hnqphe	Why had Herr Schwartz not sent for him at once?
hvd.hnqphe	Why had not his instructions permitted him to make himself known, in some way other 42 THE WEB than by name, to the German authorities?
hvd.hnqphe	Why had she come here: How was he to explain Miss Lieb- mann's presence?
hvd.hnqphe	Why had she supposed that he could assist her?
hvd.hnqphe	Why had this young woman ap- pealed to him?
hvd.hnqphe	Why was I left in the dark? ” “ Because the slightest suggestion on your part, the least indiscretion, might have cost him his life.
hvd.hnqphe	Why will you persist in carrying on love affairs with attractive young seamstresses from Paris?"
hvd.hnqphe	Why?"
hvd.hnqphe	Why?"
hvd.hnqphe	Will you give it to me? ” She faced him, eager, expectant.
hvd.hnqphe	Will you? ” “ Certainly, if you wish it, ” Hoffman replied, glancing at Patricia.
hvd.hnqphe	Without it, we dare not act. ” “ What is that? ” “ The amount of coal at Port William.
hvd.hnqphe	Wo n't you sit down?"
hvd.hnqphe	Would a thousand, five thousand lives, bé sacri- ficed, that his own might be saved?
hvd.hnqphe	Would it be attacked, perhaps destroyed?
hvd.hnqphe	Would not its possessor go to the Continent at once, in order to dispose of it?"
hvd.hnqphe	Would not such visits appear highly suspicious, were I to make them merely to call on my sister?
hvd.hnqphe	You have been very slow, today, my friend?
hvd.hnqphe	You knew that I was ar- rested?"
hvd.hnqphe	You might have just happened in?"
hvd.hnqphe	You simply do not understand, that is all. ” “ Understand what?
hvd.hnqphe	You still have the papers of Mademoiselle Mercier, have you not?"
hvd.hnqphe	You will look at them, yes? ” She hastily opened her satchel, and taking out a package of papers, thrust them into Patricia's hand.
hvd.hnqphe	You wish to make a bargain, eh?
hvd.hnqphe	“ A stupid blunder, ” he said, “ and yet, I ca n't blame my man at all. ” “ How did it happen?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Across the frontier?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Am I being watched also? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hnqphe	“ And after I get there, what?
hvd.hnqphe	“ And she did so?
hvd.hnqphe	“ And the seamstress as well?".
hvd.hnqphe	“ And what about the woman? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	“ And yet, your information has not been of very great value. ” “ Not of great value?
hvd.hnqphe	“ And you feel that you should collect them?'
hvd.hnqphe	“ And you have heard nothing of the three vessels for which he is waiting?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ And you say that Bob has gone to Antwerp, to claim the reward promised him?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Any news from Sturdee?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Are you not Amer- ican?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Are you not, then, a British sympathizer?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Are you sure? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Are you to cross, too?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ As I told you this afternoon, I wished to see Lord Brooke. ” “ You saw him?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Both sides of what? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnqphe	“ But in what way can I be of service to you? ”"I will tell you.
hvd.hnqphe	“ But — why did you return here! ” “ Where else could I go?
hvd.hnqphe	“ But,"Hoffman objected,"where am I to meet him?
hvd.hnqphe	“ But- how am I to return home? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	“ But- how could she have these letters, this passport, if everything were not all right? ” Pa- tricia objected.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Can Bob know? ” she asked, turning to her husband.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Conscience, eh? ” the German sneered.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Did I not tell you, on the boat, ” she said, “ that we were to work together? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Did n't your brother offer any explanation?".
hvd.hnqphe	“ Did you arrive at any conclusion? ” he asked, hating himself for the words.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Do n't you know?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Do n't you see?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Do you defend him?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Do you really think he is an English spy?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Do you think so? ” she said.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Do you think that was her real reason?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ For long?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Has Lieutenant Giessner re- ported there yet?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Have I not come, in answer to the signal?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Have you anything to report? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqphe	“ How about your return?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ How am I to convey the secrets of which you speak to the German authorities? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How are you, Mr. Hoffman? ” he said.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How could you ever have done such a foolish thing, Pat? ” he asked, and began striding up and down the room.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How did you know the Canopus had gone out? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How do I know you are not an English spy? ” he rasped.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How do you do, Bob?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ How do you know? ” he asked, showing no great surprise at her accusation.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How is that to be effected? ” Hoffman asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ How so?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ How's Patricia?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ I THE WEB 175 cigar?
hvd.hnqphe	“ I hate to say such a thing, but do n't you see what this sudden de- parture means?
hvd.hnqphe	“ I suppose you've been wondering what had become of me?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ I understand he is in the Tower, awaiting trial. ” “ Then you think we had better send this woman away?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ I was not in a position to ask ques- tions. ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ I wish to see this gentleman alone. ” “ And the constable? ” “ I shall not require him further."
hvd.hnqphe	“ If I put you in possession of an important military secret now, your excellency, will you be convinced? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ If I were not, ” she said,"would I know from whom you received the five hundred marks, in English gold, that you now have in your pocket?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ In this chair? ” she questioned, her voice, her manner indicating her disappointment.
hvd.hnqphe	“ In what way am I to obtain the military in- formation of which you speak? ” he presently asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ In what way, mademoiselle?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Is not what I say true? ” Herr Schwartz flung at him.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Is there anything else? ” Hoffman asked, taking up his hat.
hvd.hnqphe	“ It was on that account, then, that you acted as you did?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ It would be rather remarkable, my dear,"she observed,"would n't it, if your young seamstress should turn out to be a German spy?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Knew that he stole the paper from your desk?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ May I offer you a glass of schnapps? ” “ No, thank you.
hvd.hnqphe	“ May I speak to you privately? ” he said.
hvd.hnqphe	“ My dear fellow, why should the police be interested in you?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Not- Herbert?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ On the part of those so closely related to you as your sister's family?
hvd.hnqphe	“ See who it is? ” the Liebmann girl whispered in a voice of terror.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Shall I ask who is there? ” said Hoffman, going toward the door.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Shall I use the wireless, or the carrier pig- eons?''
hvd.hnqphe	“ Suppose it should become necessary,"he said, “ while in England, to suddenly make my- self known to your agents?".
hvd.hnqphe	“ The other vessels? ” “ Battle cruisers of the same type.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Then how am I to communicate? ” “ I do not know.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Then there is nothing more we can do to- night?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Then you have the information complete? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqphe	“ Then — why do you think the woman is a spy?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Upon the Continent?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ We shall be good friends, shall we not? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What about?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What are you doing here? ” Hoffman asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What are you doing here? ” The girl's eyes were fixed steadily on his.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What can I do for you, my girl? ” Patricia asked, in French.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What can I do for you?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What can he do, then? ” “ Nothing, but trust to Providence, and wait the arrival of the three coal ships now on the way."
hvd.hnqphe	“ What condition?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What confidences are you exchanging with Lady Brooke, Bob?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What could I possibly hear about you, that was not fine and good?
hvd.hnqphe	“ What do you mean? ” Hoffman asked, with a look of surprise.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What do you want here, miss? ” he presently asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What do you want? ” he said.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What do you wish to say to me? ” the com- munication read.
hvd.hnqphe	“ What has hap- pened?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What is the information you wish to sell?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What makes you think him a spy?''
hvd.hnqphe	“ What on earth is the matter with you, Bob?
hvd.hnqphe	“ What shall we do?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What sort of information?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What was done to him?".
hvd.hnqphe	“ What's your hurry?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ What, then, do you desire? ” “ I need a large sum.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Where am I?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Where are you to take me? ” Hoffman asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Where on earth have you been for the past week?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Where to, may I ask?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Who's go- ing to tell Patricia? ” Lady Brooke went up to him, her eyes heavy with tears.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why did n't she?".
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why do n't you stop a while, and talk to me?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why do you make that condition?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why is that young woman being followed by the police? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why not?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why not? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why not?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why should I be placed under arrest?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why should I?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why should they lock Bob up?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why so?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Why?"
hvd.hnqphe	“ Would you care to have a spy in the house, with a thing like that lying about? ” She pointed to the paper of which she had spoken.
hvd.hnqphe	“ Yes?
hvd.hnqphe	“ Yes? ” he said, with a rising inflexion.
hvd.hnqphe	“ You accept? ”'cried Herr Schwartz, regard- ing him with eager eyes.
hvd.hnqphe	“ You are Robert Hoffman?''
hvd.hnqphe	“ You are certain of this? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hnqphe	“ You bring good news? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqphe	“ You have signalled that you have news for us, have you not? ”.
hvd.hnqphe	“ You mean, of course, the methods I am to pursue in order to get the information to you? ” Hoffman asked.
hvd.hnqphe	“ You say Hoffman was arrested? ” he cried.
hvd.hnqphe	“ You will want me to wait, of course?".
hvd.hnqphe	“ You wish to go straight on to Antwerp, not so?!'
hvd.hnqphe	“ You — you mean —"she stammered, “ that-that you knew it? ” “ Certainly."

hvd.hxdky4	As he stood with his guests at the bar of the humble drinking shop, one of the men asked: “ What trade have you, my little brother?
hvd.hxdky4	Come along and pay us a drink! ” “ Why should I? ” demanded Achille, but not illnaturedly.
hvd.hxdky4	Could we not sit down and wait till morning?
hvd.hxdky4	First, at the buvette near the octoir — ” “ Never there?!
hvd.hxdky4	How do I know that I shall be paid for my trouble? ” “ But the owner, the lady, who was she? ” cried Achille, impatiently.

hvd.hxdky4	What do you mean by getting in my way like that? ” shouted a man in the guttural ac- cents of an Alsatian.

hvd.hxdky4	“ Am I to go alone in this horri- ble packing case? ” exclaimed the Countess, almost in tears.
hvd.hxdky4	“ Before we go, ” said the Countess, “ we must light two candles for St. Anthony of Padua. ” “ Why for him? ” asked Achille.
hvd.hxdky4	“ But the question is, where am I to put my donkey?
hvd.hxdky4	“ Ca n't we get nearer?"
hvd.hxdky4	“ Dear me, is that all?
hvd.hxdky4	“ Have you been to the Pig Market? ” he asked, affably, as he received his change.

hvd.hxdky4	“ What else?
hvd.hxdky4	“ What has happened to the horse? ” Achille demanded.
hvd.hxdky4	“ Where are we going now? ” asked the Countess, smoothing her apron.
hvd.hxdky4	“ Why, in the name of goodness, should we want to go to Tives? ” de- manded Achille.

hvd.hnqlqz	But who?
hvd.hnqlqz	By the way — how did you happen to hear of me?
hvd.hnqlqz	Did n't they give you a key? hvd.hnqlqz Do you know?
hvd.hnqlqz	Do you mean it? hvd.hnqlqz Do you mean to say- everything I have[ 11] THE MYSTERIOUS OFFICE told you is knit in there? ” He reached and touched it gingerly.
hvd.hnqlqz	Do you say that just because he is Jimmie?
hvd.hnqlqz	How about some other oil stock? ” he asked. hvd.hnqlqz How did you guess?"
hvd.hnqlqz	How did you know of me?
hvd.hnqlqz	I could n't do anything else, could I? hvd.hnqlqz I have an errand to do before dinner. ”"Not another case?
hvd.hnqlqz	I know he did not nor anyone in the office. ”Have you any other explanation?
hvd.hnqlqz	I like to leave things in shape. ” “ You lock up when you go?
hvd.hnqlqz	I was afraid you would be gone! ” “ You were anxious? ” “ Not exactly anxious. ” A smile touched the words. hvd.hnqlqz I'd like to talk with him. ” “ Shall I send him in? ” “ Wait a little.
hvd.hnqlqz	I'll send your coffee in to you? ” “ Yes. hvd.hnqlqz I've told you a dozen times, Tom- you do n't let me have my own way. ” “ Way!—What's way got to do with it?
hvd.hnqlqz	Is that you, Teddy? hvd.hnqlqz It comes to the same thing in the end, does n't it — like every science?
hvd.hnqlqz	Jimmie gone? ” she asked. hvd.hnqlqz Me? ” She was smiling.
hvd.hnqlqz	No? ” Happiness suffused her face. hvd.hnqlqz Nothing- only I'm glad you had a chance to make good. ” “ How do you know I did- make good? ” “ Of course you did.
hvd.hnqlqz	Oh- has he? hvd.hnqlqz The twenty- fifth —?
hvd.hnqlqz	Was a clerk sent up the day of the theft? ” She fancied he winced at the casual word. hvd.hnqlqz Were you ever lonely? ”"Yes, ” said Milly.
hvd.hnqlqz	Who said — this? ” he asked harshly. hvd.hnqlqz Why are you not letting the matter drop-if you are not going to prosecute? ” The question was quiet.
hvd.hnqlqz	You are willing to own up to it — to Mr. Geary? ” “ To anybody in the world — and the sooner the better! ” he said with emphasis. hvd.hnqlqz You know why I am here? ”"In connection with the Blake and Good- ale account, ” said Miss Somers quietly.
hvd.hnqlqz	You will not consent, then? ” “ Never! ” His hand came down on the desk with firm light touch. hvd.hnqlqz ... And I'm afraid he'll call it off. ” “ He —?
hvd.hnqlqz	... Did John Geary know so very little about his keys?
hvd.hnqlqz	... Do you happen to know how the order came through and whether it was paid in cash or by cheque? ”"Ca n't say offhand.
hvd.hnqlqz	... May I smoke? ”"It is your office."
hvd.hnqlqz	... Was it possible that the years of repressed guilt had induced in him a form of aphasia with regard to money, that he was helpless under?
hvd.hnqlqz	... Well-what's doing?"
hvd.hnqlqz	... What did John Geary know of the drawer his key failed to fit?
hvd.hnqlqz	... What is that?—I did n't quite get it?
hvd.hnqlqz	... What is the mat- ter? ” he repeated.
hvd.hnqlqz	... What you been saying to him, Miss Newberry?"
hvd.hnqlqz	... Why not make an op- portunity?
hvd.hnqlqz	... You do n't want to talk over this new case with me?
hvd.hnqlqz	... that five hundred?

hvd.hnqlqz	And who was John Geary's sten- ographer before Mary Lacey came to him, and where was she now?
hvd.hnqlqz	But how did that affect the problem?
hvd.hnqlqz	But somehow that twenty- five thousand stuck in my mind. ” “ You knew it was twenty- five thousand exactly, did you? ” She counted her stitches.
hvd.hnqlqz	Can I do some- thing for you? ”"I wanted to inquire about ‘ Big Geyser'stock. ” He shook his head.
hvd.hnqlqz	Can you follow a clue and keep still about it... Drop it — if necessary? ” His eyes shot a keen glance at her.
hvd.hnqlqz	Can you manage it?".
hvd.hnqlqz	Come to dinner, ca n't you, Alan?
hvd.hnqlqz	Conferring?...
hvd.hnqlqz	Could I see her in some natural way? ”"She takes dictation capitally."
hvd.hnqlqz	Did Mary Lacey do double duty- work after hours for Ethridge and Harmon?
hvd.hnqlqz	Did he always stay late?
hvd.hnqlqz	Did he make out lists and dictate them to Mary Lacey[ 257] THE MYSTERIOUS OFFICE and promptly forget them?

hvd.hnqlqz	Everyone makes me feel at home. ” “ We think Mr. Geary was very wise to call you in. ”"Mr. Tolles suggested it to him?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Geary is not here? ” “ No.
hvd.hnqlqz	Geary? ”"No.
hvd.hnqlqz	Get Geary's permission for that, ” “ Why do n't you do it without permis- sion? ” Her quiet eye was on him.
hvd.hnqlqz	Had he gone to make him speak the word?
hvd.hnqlqz	Had he returned by the outer door- taken the money from the desk and gone out again to invest it with no memory of the trans- action?
hvd.hnqlqz	Has Miss Newberry come? ” “ She is just here, I think. ” “ Ask her to come in, please. ” She withdrew and he waited in grim silence.
hvd.hnqlqz	He did n't see me, he was looking at her. ”"How long ago was this?"
hvd.hnqlqz	He moved a hand toward the wall across the court,“—all about it. ”"Yes? ” Her eyes questioned a swift in- stant.
hvd.hnqlqz	He stared at the detective and put out a hand- “ What is she doing there? ” he said hoarsely.
hvd.hnqlqz	He thinks I've been speculating. ” “ Have you been speculating?"
hvd.hnqlqz	He waited, smiling-"Found something you did n't expect? ” “ Well — ” She studied it.
hvd.hnqlqz	His eyes stared at her- “ It's damnable! ” he said with swift em- phasis, “ damnable! ” “ What do you mean?"
hvd.hnqlqz	His eyes were on the blank wall across the court “ You know how they came there? ” “ No, I do n't know.
hvd.hnqlqz	His secretary will find it when she comes today or tomorrow. ” ·"He will not come himself then? ” “ It's generally the secretary.
hvd.hnqlqz	How are you tonight? ” She kissed her and led her to the table and drew out her chair.
hvd.hnqlqz	How is your head- ache? ” His look was blank.

hvd.hnqlqz	I always use cheques. ” “ It was unusual then your having so large a sum by you? ” For the first time Geary looked a little embarrassed.
hvd.hnqlqz	I am seeing why- now. ”"You had heard of me before? ” “ And the Blake and Goodale account, ” She laughed musically.
hvd.hnqlqz	I bought it the day after I drew out that twenty- five thousand one morning for you — do you remember? ” John Geary nodded.
hvd.hnqlqz	I did not say it was a man. ”"It always is a man, is n't it- unless it's a woman?
hvd.hnqlqz	I do n't just remember. ”"It was before the money was taken? ”'The girl's brow wrinkled.
hvd.hnqlqz	I get my way! ” “ What sort of things? ” asked Milly.
hvd.hnqlqz	I knew only one thing would make John Geary bring a young woman expert into the busi- ness. ” “ One thing?"
hvd.hnqlqz	I must talk with my friend. ” “ Will you do that? ” Milly waited.
hvd.hnqlqz	I only felt it was a little queer for a business office. ” “ And you do n't know why? ” “ I've no idea. ” She looked about her.
hvd.hnqlqz	I should have paid it back all right-""You knew Mr. Geary would follow it up, did n't you? ” She was looking at him keenly.
hvd.hnqlqz	I talked with him yesterday morning and I saw that for two cents he'd call the whole thing off. ” “ Well — what harm?
hvd.hnqlqz	I tell you I took that money! ”"Yes? ” She looked at him thoughtfully.
hvd.hnqlqz	I want him to have his chance"“ A chance to pay back the money? ” She raised her eyes.
hvd.hnqlqz	I was surprised and pleased. ”"Pleased —?"
hvd.hnqlqz	I was telling her you had been here — how many years was it, before I came? ”.
hvd.hnqlqz	I was thinking last night —"“ Yes — worrying about Jimmie?"
hvd.hnqlqz	If he has come will you tell him, please, that I want to see him?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Is n't he honest? ” “ Oh — honest as daylight!
hvd.hnqlqz	Is n't it worth coming for? ” The car turned a curve and the whole open country lay spread before them.
hvd.hnqlqz	It interests me. ” “ Out of town? ”"No."
hvd.hnqlqz	It is what happened. ” “ That my daughter stole from me?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Jimmie Tolles has confessed — ” “ Oh — has he?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Know him?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Later Jimmie spoke to me about it. ”"Jimmie? ”"Mr. Tolles.
hvd.hnqlqz	Learn to be a detective? ” A soft glow suffused the girl's face.
hvd.hnqlqz	Mary Lacey's finger touched the golden web — “ What has it made?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Nothing is the same — it could n't be without her! ” Milly turned—“She is not dead? ” “ You did n't know?
hvd.hnqlqz	Nothing is the same — it could n't be without her! ” Milly turned—“She is not dead? ” “ You did n't know?

hvd.hnqlqz	Partridge is trying to shield Jimmie, and so is Mary Lacey — ” “ She's the little stenographer? ” “ Yes. ”"Pretty girl, ” said Corbin.
hvd.hnqlqz	Partridge — that's the name! ” “ George C. Partridge? ” He nodded.
hvd.hnqlqz	Perhaps I have done enough — for one day. ”"Found anything in particular? ” It was careless.
hvd.hnqlqz	Plant a good sum of money in the office and wait developments?
hvd.hnqlqz	Scared stiff! ”"You want me to save the case for you? ” “ Yep! ” He grinned.
hvd.hnqlqz	Shall I call him in? ” He nodded gravely and she stepped to the door.
hvd.hnqlqz	So I gave up my job and came here. ” “ Was it better then? ” asked Milly.
hvd.hnqlqz	So Jimmie Tolles owned up, did he?
hvd.hnqlqz	That is what you wanted to know?"
hvd.hnqlqz	That meant a confederate?
hvd.hnqlqz	That was only a privilege — their using it after three — not in the lease. ” “ He has leased it then?"
hvd.hnqlqz	That's why we thought you'd better come in on the case. ” “ We?"
hvd.hnqlqz	They dared not face your pride. ”"You mean she came in —? ”"She saw you go out, and took the chance.

hvd.hnqlqz	Was he thinking fast?
hvd.hnqlqz	We see them in the outside office — ” Was he drawing a herring across his trail with all these hasty details?

hvd.hnqlqz	What system does the office use? ” He laughed genially.
hvd.hnqlqz	What was he up to?
hvd.hnqlqz	What's up?"
hvd.hnqlqz	Who had been whispering with Jimmie in the inner office, and why had Jimmie stayed late?

hvd.hnqjxu	But the broken and cut portraits?
hvd.hnqjxu	But there was no sign of a bullet wound?
hvd.hnqjxu	But to think about what?
hvd.hnqjxu	But what of the phonographic signs?
hvd.hnqjxu	But why did Sagon do it? — he must have had it in mind when he bought the bayonet at Bern- stine's,said Pendleton, looking at Ashton- Kirk.
hvd.hnqjxu	But,and he waved his hand toward the house,"what does this mean?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But,protested Pendleton,"why did he not put it into words?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did Mr. Hume employ any person to assist him?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did a Beautiful Woman's Hand Deal the Deadly Blow? hvd.hnqjxu Did he have many visitors, do you know?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Did the police have you look about?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did you call me up at once?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did you notice his manner? hvd.hnqjxu Did you take the photograph to Berg in Christie Place?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Do you call doing that little distance in fifteen minutes rushing?
hvd.hnqjxu	Do you know who bought them?
hvd.hnqjxu	Do you know who this is?
hvd.hnqjxu	Do you mean that you saw no one come out?
hvd.hnqjxu	Do you think he is there?
hvd.hnqjxu	Do you think it possible that Locke is one of this latter type?
hvd.hnqjxu	Does any conductor on our lines use a punch which cuts out a keystone?
hvd.hnqjxu	Does he recognize that?
hvd.hnqjxu	Eh, Curran? hvd.hnqjxu Eh, Curran?
hvd.hnqjxu	Eh, Curran?
hvd.hnqjxu	Had he no associates — no one with whom he spent his time?
hvd.hnqjxu	Has anything been heard as the result of the post- mortem?
hvd.hnqjxu	Have you done anything in your line for the Treasury Department lately?
hvd.hnqjxu	Have you ever heard his name?
hvd.hnqjxu	Have you looked over the place?
hvd.hnqjxu	Have you not heard from him since the mur- der?
hvd.hnqjxu	He does not live here, then?
hvd.hnqjxu	How are you, Burgess?
hvd.hnqjxu	How are you?
hvd.hnqjxu	How are you?
hvd.hnqjxu	How did you hear of it?
hvd.hnqjxu	How did you know his hat fell off?
hvd.hnqjxu	How did you know that I would come this morning?
hvd.hnqjxu	How do you know that they are not?
hvd.hnqjxu	How do you know?
hvd.hnqjxu	How do you make that out?
hvd.hnqjxu	How long are you going to maintain the po- lice guard at 478 Christie Place?
hvd.hnqjxu	How many lodgers have you?
hvd.hnqjxu	How?
hvd.hnqjxu	Humph,said Pendleton^"what time was this?"
hvd.hnqjxu	I do not know you, and you will onder- stan', will you not, that I ca n't leave you behind — to talk?
hvd.hnqjxu	I suppose you refer to the published reports of the Hume case?
hvd.hnqjxu	If it was under his coat, how do you know it was his fiddle?
hvd.hnqjxu	Is anything specified?
hvd.hnqjxu	Is it possible,she said,"that you are trying to fix this deed upon Allan Morris?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Is there any way by which you can begin at what you think is the beginning?
hvd.hnqjxu	It was also some such hint upon your part that induced her to visit Locke at Dr. Mercer's place, was n't it?
hvd.hnqjxu	Looking up the Dago?
hvd.hnqjxu	May I ask upon what your conviction is based?
hvd.hnqjxu	More later than that yet?
hvd.hnqjxu	More so than men, do you think?
hvd.hnqjxu	Next to Antonio Spatola, who came most to Hume's place while you were there?
hvd.hnqjxu	No use to ask what it is, I suppose? hvd.hnqjxu Nobody has been permitted to go upstairs, I presume?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Not only what did the fellow mean who did this, but what did he mean,pointing at the dead man,"by having so many portraits of General Wayne?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Nothing else?
hvd.hnqjxu	Now, as to Mr. Hume's intimates? hvd.hnqjxu Now,"after a pause,"do you know anything — however slight, mind you — that would seem to point to who did this thing?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Now?
hvd.hnqjxu	Oh, is it you? hvd.hnqjxu Oh, the General Passenger Agent sent you?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Oh, you have been expecting her then?
hvd.hnqjxu	Oh,said Berg,"you are not the coroner's office in?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Oh,said Osborne, ruefully,"this is the party who called to see you, is it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Perhaps,said Ashton- Kirk,"I've let you in for too hard a task in this, Pen?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Prefers to be alone, eh?
hvd.hnqjxu	Ready?
hvd.hnqjxu	Sagon has told you this?
hvd.hnqjxu	She fell in love with Johannes, did she not? hvd.hnqjxu She sent vou to prepare the way for her, then?"
hvd.hnqjxu	She will be here this morning, then?
hvd.hnqjxu	So you thought you'd have a try, too, eh?
hvd.hnqjxu	Some drunken freak, do you think?
hvd.hnqjxu	Some very well known people frequented it, did they not?
hvd.hnqjxu	That sounds reasonable enough, eh?
hvd.hnqjxu	The bayonet? hvd.hnqjxu The bayonet?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then you were there until midnight last night?
hvd.hnqjxu	There is an institution at Cordova, I be- lieve?
hvd.hnqjxu	To study, eh?
hvd.hnqjxu	To whom?
hvd.hnqjxu	Was he a customer?
hvd.hnqjxu	Was it Christie Place?
hvd.hnqjxu	Was there any movement of any sort about Hume's place? hvd.hnqjxu Well,"asked the young man,"who the deuce are you?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Well,chuckled the investigator,"it did not take her long to make up her mind, eh?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Well,said Pendleton, as they climbed into the car,"this about fixes the thing, does n't it?
hvd.hnqjxu	Well?
hvd.hnqjxu	Well?
hvd.hnqjxu	Well?
hvd.hnqjxu	Well?
hvd.hnqjxu	What Italian fellow do you refer to?
hvd.hnqjxu	What are you going to do?
hvd.hnqjxu	What caused you to think that?
hvd.hnqjxu	What do you want?
hvd.hnqjxu	What do you want?
hvd.hnqjxu	What else did you see?
hvd.hnqjxu	What happened after you heard this cry?
hvd.hnqjxu	What have we here?
hvd.hnqjxu	What is her name and address?
hvd.hnqjxu	What is it? hvd.hnqjxu What is it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What is it?
hvd.hnqjxu	What is your name, please?
hvd.hnqjxu	What now?
hvd.hnqjxu	What of the picture of Spatola in the paper?
hvd.hnqjxu	What part did Edyth — Miss n6 ASHTON- KIRK Vale — play in all this? hvd.hnqjxu What put you into such a frame of mind, anyway?
hvd.hnqjxu	What reason had you for thinking that he might be guilty?
hvd.hnqjxu	What sort of relations existed between Hume and Spa- tola outside the music? hvd.hnqjxu What sort of sounds?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What time was it that you saw him?
hvd.hnqjxu	What was it?
hvd.hnqjxu	What was the nature of his business at Hume's?
hvd.hnqjxu	When did he come out?
hvd.hnqjxu	When did it occur?
hvd.hnqjxu	When will they come?
hvd.hnqjxu	When you noticed the door being open you went in at once, I suppose?
hvd.hnqjxu	Where is Allan Morris?
hvd.hnqjxu	Where is the body?
hvd.hnqjxu	Where is the body?
hvd.hnqjxu	Where to now?
hvd.hnqjxu	While you were drawn up in Christie Place, waiting for a fare,he asked,"did you hear or see anything at 478?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Who are you? hvd.hnqjxu Who came most frequently to the store?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Who do you mean — the Dago?
hvd.hnqjxu	Who has been murdered?
hvd.hnqjxu	Who knows?
hvd.hnqjxu	Who wants him?
hvd.hnqjxu	Who was the woman? hvd.hnqjxu Who's that, I wonder?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Why did you not press the button at the door?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why did you turn out the light?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why have the detectives been placed to watch Miss Vale's house?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why,it inquired,"is this man detained and no attempt made to take those higher up into custody?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why,screamed the Standard, in a perfect frenzy of letter press,"did Miss Edyth Vale visit Hume on the night of the murder?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Will you be surprised to hear that I have been following Miss Edyth Vale on a little voyage to the neighborhood of Cordova?
hvd.hnqjxu	Will you come in?
hvd.hnqjxu	Would it be convenient for you to let him know that I can be seen at six?
hvd.hnqjxu	Would it not have been possible for the person or persons who did thi3 murder to enter by one of those?
hvd.hnqjxu	Would it not have been possible for the person or persons who did this murder to enter by one of those?
hvd.hnqjxu	Would you call it weakness?
hvd.hnqjxu	Yes; and why are you going in? hvd.hnqjxu Yes?"
hvd.hnqjxu	You are quite sure you found the street door locked?
hvd.hnqjxu	You are the person who discovered the body of Mr. Hume, are you not?
hvd.hnqjxu	You do n't recall the address?
hvd.hnqjxu	You have judged that it was probably he who was seen to go into Hume's before the murder?
hvd.hnqjxu	You have visited Christie Place to- day?
hvd.hnqjxu	You know nothing of his friends then — of his habits?
hvd.hnqjxu	You mean,said Tobin, shrewdly,"that I'm to advise him to give over hiding?"
hvd.hnqjxu	You really mean all that?
hvd.hnqjxu	You really mean to make an arrest?
hvd.hnqjxu	You think, then, that Locke's intentions were not murder?
hvd.hnqjxu	You were acquainted with the murdered man?
hvd.hnqjxu	You've heard of what took place last night, I suppose?
hvd.hnqjxu	Your name in full — is what?
hvd.hnqjxu	Your train stops at a station called Cordova, does it not?
hvd.hnqjxu	'Was I a friend of the family?
hvd.hnqjxu	*'And you made inquiries upon the other point?"
hvd.hnqjxu	..?. ■ i.
hvd.hnqjxu	175 176 ASHTON- KIRK"Mr. Ashton- Kirk,"said he,"why did you not tell us about this piece of business?
hvd.hnqjxu	183 ii 84 ASHTON- KIRK"Do you know him well?"
hvd.hnqjxu	192 ASHTON- KIRK"Who is that?"
hvd.hnqjxu	250 ASHTON- KIRK"Is that all there is to the report?"
hvd.hnqjxu	250 ASHTON- KIRK"Is that all there is to the report?"
hvd.hnqjxu	272 ASHTON- KIRK police called off at Hume's?
hvd.hnqjxu	38 ASHTON- KIRK"There is nothing more that you can tell me?"
hvd.hnqjxu	92 ASHTON- KIRK Do you know anything about it — did it belong to the store?"
hvd.hnqjxu	A salesman, eh?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Am Ijnot right?"
hvd.hnqjxu	And then,"with energy,"what did he used to do so much in Spatola's garret, eh?
hvd.hnqjxu	And what makes you think now that he is innocent?"
hvd.hnqjxu	And who was that?"
hvd.hnqjxu	And, another thing, a violin case is of such size as to prevent its being so carried, is n't it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	As they were de- scending the stairs to the street, Pendleton said:"And now he wears a silk hat, does he?
hvd.hnqjxu	Ashton- Kirk?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But did it never happen that you were without a pencil at a time when you neded one rather urgently?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But directly across from us was young Cartwright""Employed in the Treasury Department?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But he halted as if shot when his friend continued in the transmitter:"No?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But if Crawford was such a swell as not to want to speak to a gentleman in public, why did he hold so many pow- wows in private with Spatola?
hvd.hnqjxu	But in a few moments he went on:"Do you know where this man Morris is to be found?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But tell me, Mr. Berg, how late do you keep your place open?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But what made you think he cared for the modern German dramatists?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But what?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But why?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But,"inquiringly,"after I tell him that, what will I do?"
hvd.hnqjxu	But,"inquiringly,"could n't you speak to him down on the platform?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Can you recall his name?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Could it have been a bayonet?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Da cops pinch- a Spatola, and for why, eh?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did Miss Vale seem at all upset by the matter?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did ye ever hear a whisper of her till she began to send herself by registered mail and chain herself to lamp posts?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did you know they planned a great book which was to contain a complete account of the world's most remarkable homi- cides?
hvd.hnqjxu	Did you see or hear any- thing?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Do n't I know it?
hvd.hnqjxu	Do the papers not say that he lives in a garret, or loft, in the same block?
hvd.hnqjxu	Faith, he's a young man yet — not much over sixty — and what call have he to be takin'on the ways and manners of age?
hvd.hnqjxu	Finally Pendleton said: INVESTIGATOR 291"I suppose we ca n't smoke here to- night, can we?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Has any thing been seen of her?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Have you never had one fall from your clothes after a railroad jour- ney?"
hvd.hnqjxu	He is dead, ai n't it?
hvd.hnqjxu	He looked at her for a moment steadily, then asked:"Do you know of any reason why I should not go?"
hvd.hnqjxu	He looked at his friend for a moment and then continued:"But how did you know that Edyth heard a door close immediately after the pistol shot?"
hvd.hnqjxu	He looked at his friend for a moment and then continued:"But how did you know that Edyth heard a door close immediately after the pistol shot?"
hvd.hnqjxu	He pushed the drawer into place, looked at his friend inquiringly, and added:"Suppose we go around to the'Rang- now'and see him?"
hvd.hnqjxu	He regarded the two young men uncertainly for a moment; and then asked:"Did Mrs. Marx tell you anything?"
hvd.hnqjxu	How can I forget it?
hvd.hnqjxu	How could you go away and leave us in the dark?
hvd.hnqjxu	How did it happen?"
hvd.hnqjxu	How did you hear about this?"
hvd.hnqjxu	How does that strike you?"
hvd.hnqjxu	How far do you suppose she would go to the perpetrating of a downright crime?"
hvd.hnqjxu	How long has it been going on?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Hume?"
hvd.hnqjxu	I have not the — what do you call it — sense?
hvd.hnqjxu	INVESTIGATOR 123"The maker's name is upon it then?"
hvd.hnqjxu	INVESTIGATOR 125"Well?"
hvd.hnqjxu	INVESTIGATOR 71"Is there any way of getting in from the top of the house — the roof?"
hvd.hnqjxu	INVESTIGATOR 71"Is there any way of getting in from the top of the house — the roof?"
hvd.hnqjxu	If she does — why, might there not still be some hope for you, Pen?"
hvd.hnqjxu	If she was not associated with Locke in the crime, why was she there?
hvd.hnqjxu	Is his stage story very far re- moved from actuality after all?
hvd.hnqjxu	Is it always to be so — first one and then another?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Is it the cook?
hvd.hnqjxu	Is n't it possible that he took it off and laid it there?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Is there not a law?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Is your mother?
hvd.hnqjxu	It is a very excellent one, is it not?"
hvd.hnqjxu	It is nothing?"
hvd.hnqjxu	It met in an underground place somewhere, did n't it?
hvd.hnqjxu	It was the glory of Cremona, was it not?
hvd.hnqjxu	Marx?"
hvd.hnqjxu	May we come in?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Maybe when I goes away home der driver he sees what happened at Hume's afterwards, eh?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Niver the one of yel Is your wife a suffragette?
hvd.hnqjxu	No one whom he spoke of in an intimate way?"
hvd.hnqjxu	No?
hvd.hnqjxu	Now tell me Kirk, what the mischief do you think of all this?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Now what other means are there of entering the building?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Now what other means are there of entering the building?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Now, who bought the bayonet?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Of what nation- ality is he?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Ole Bull and Kubelik had made great suc- cesses, he said; and so, why not he?
hvd.hnqjxu	Pendleton stared for a moment; then a grin crept over his face and he said:"Oh, it's you, is it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Placing the report upon the table, he added:"You have heard of the Coffin Club, Pen?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Remember it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	She paused a moment, her eyes upon the open pages; then lifting her head, she asked:"What do you think of Rebecca?"
hvd.hnqjxu	She regarded him steadily for a moment; then she said:"You are convinced, you say?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Something happened?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Spatola?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Surely it would have been much easier?"
hvd.hnqjxu	That's only natural, ai n't it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	The automatic revolver was in his hand 3o4 ASHTON- KIRK of the kind that would rather be off quietly, is it not?
hvd.hnqjxu	The big German mopped his face with a handkerchief, and said apologetically:"A man can only tell what he knows, ai n't it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then he asked:"You're detectives, ai n't you?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then he inquired:"Well, have you learned anything from him?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then he turned and asked inquiringly:"Did youse gents want anything particular?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then in a sharp, angry tone, he added:"What do you want of me?
hvd.hnqjxu	Then she knows where he is?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then she said:"What, then, is your theory of the crime?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then to Osborne:"May we go up?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then turning to Ashton- Kirk he asked:"How did you get onto this bayonet business?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Then who is it that composes the great army of female ballot seekers?
hvd.hnqjxu	Then, inquiringly, he added:"What do you think of it, sir?"
hvd.hnqjxu	There was a moment's silence; then Ashton- Kirk asked:"Just where was your cab standing at this time?"
hvd.hnqjxu	They were all sold, I suppose?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Travels, does he?
hvd.hnqjxu	Was there any- thing unusual in his looks?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Well, how are you after your exciting experience?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Were they friendly?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Were you ever employed under a Ger- man conductor?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Were you thinking that?
hvd.hnqjxu	What brought him so frequently, as Brolat- sky said, to see Hume?'
hvd.hnqjxu	What did they talk about so much on the quiet?
hvd.hnqjxu	What do you know of them?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What do you think of that?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What do you think of that?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What do you think?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What has been learned regarding Miss Vale's connection with the case that has not already been made public?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What have you been saying to him?—or rather,"smil- ing,"what have you not been saying to him?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What is she?
hvd.hnqjxu	What is your errand?"
hvd.hnqjxu	What's wanted?"
hvd.hnqjxu	When the other re- entered with Paulson at his heels, he asked:"Have any of the policemen detailed here been out of town recently?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Where did you get a portrait of this man Craw- ford?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Where does she come into it?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Where is the tonic effect of'Rosmer- sholm?'
hvd.hnqjxu	Where was Allan Mor- ris?
hvd.hnqjxu	Who is she?
hvd.hnqjxu	Who knows?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Who occupied the building besides the mur- dered man?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Who occupied the building besides the mur- dered man?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Who's been done up?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Who,"with a little bow,"has not?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why am I annoyed like this?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why did he not use a pencil, as you have done?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Why did he take to hiding im- mediately after the murder?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Why did you not enlighten us?
hvd.hnqjxu	Why do n't you move?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Will you speak with him?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Yes?"
hvd.hnqjxu	You see that, do n't you?"
hvd.hnqjxu	Your sister?
hvd.hnqjxu	and why should we place ourselves on watch instead?"
hvd.hnqjxu	cried the newcomer, as he leaped out,"has anything serious happened?"
hvd.hwknmt	WHY NOT? hvd.hwknmt WHY NOT?'
hvd.hwknmt	'”.... 190 “ WHAT'S THE MATTER, MASTER WINSLOW?!"..
hvd.hwknmt	16 243 is he staying over there in Paris, having a high old time, when he has a wife here? ”.
hvd.hwknmt	166 Then what's a paltry ten thousand dollars a year to me when I'm going to have millions? ”.
hvd.hwknmt	184"DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE?
hvd.hwknmt	190: “ Mary, ” he began, standing before her, “ do you know what I've done? ” “ Yes, ” she answered, to his great surprise.
hvd.hwknmt	206"YOU WOULDN'T SEND THE BOY TO SING SING, WOULD YOU?
hvd.hwknmt	207''WIIAT'S THE MATTER, MASTER WINSLOW?'"
hvd.hwknmt	62"YOU DON'T OBJECT TO MY MAKING MONEY?! ”.
hvd.hwknmt	93 “ What do you want to know about that? ” asked the father, as the son hesitated again just as he was coming to the point.
hvd.hwknmt	: “ Do you think that this means me? ” he asked.
hvd.hwknmt	After they had crossed Twenty- third Street, Winslow mustered up courage to ask, “ What did Doctor Thurston want out of you this time?"
hvd.hwknmt	And shut that door now, will you? ” Farebrother closed the door, secluding Ezra Pierce in the private office.
hvd.hwknmt	And there's 217 “ What has he got to do with this?
hvd.hwknmt	And they all tell me that this Wemyss is a first- rate man. ” “ Then what am I to do? ” Winslow inquired.
hvd.hwknmt	And this very Barataria Central stock — what did you want that for?
hvd.hwknmt	And why had Doctor Thurston come at all, at an hour so unusual?
hvd.hwknmt	As Winslow drew near to the parlor- door Mrs. Pierce whispered, “ Does he know?
hvd.hwknmt	As it is, 1_ ” “ Well, if it ca n't be next month, ” Wins- low urged, “ why not February?
hvd.hwknmt	At last Ezra Pierce looked up and asked, “ Are they all like these? ” “ All those I altered? ” Winslow returned.
hvd.hwknmt	At last Ezra Pierce looked up and asked, “ Are they all like these? ” “ All those I altered? ” Winslow returned.
hvd.hwknmt	But he is a man of low character himself, and he prefers low associates. ” “ Is he as bad as that?"
hvd.hwknmt	But my real rea- son was that I can get all he offered me to- day without paying him for it. ” “ Can you? ” Winslow began, admiringly.
hvd.hwknmt	But what of it now?
hvd.hwknmt	Did n't your father ever have champagne?
hvd.hwknmt	Do n't go till to- morrow anyway. ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hwknmt	Do you know, Mary, sometimes I almost think he does n't really care?
hvd.hwknmt	Do you remember Ryder?
hvd.hwknmt	Do you sup- pose he wants to beg off? ” The old book- keeper shrugged his shoulders doubtfully, but made no other response.
hvd.hwknmt	Even after he got “'WHAT'S THE MATTER, MASTER WINSLOW?'"
hvd.hwknmt	Frontispiece “ I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU, MISS ROMEYN? ”...
hvd.hwknmt	HE ASKED;'IT WON'T HURT YOU'” 110 ner, have n't you?
hvd.hwknmt	He died last winter, did n't he?"
hvd.hwknmt	He looked at the men in the office, and then went up to the old man and asked, “ Is this Mr. Pierce? ” “ Yes,"was the answer.
hvd.hwknmt	How could the boy talk in this fash- ion?
hvd.hwknmt	How would you like that?"
hvd.hwknmt	I guess he's trying to coax your father to let up on him. ” “ How is father hurting him?"
hvd.hwknmt	I knew father was going to be busy with Wemyss all the afternoon. ” “ And who is Wemyss? ” Mary asked.
hvd.hwknmt	I know you have millions and mill- ions- and I'll have them some day, wo n't I?
hvd.hwknmt	I may talk to other women, or- or flirt with them even, but I “ DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE?
hvd.hwknmt	I never thought that a son of mine would ever be a gambler! ” “ Why should n't a son of yours be a gambler? ” Winslow retorted.
hvd.hwknmt	I say, Mary, suppose we go to Delmoni- co's to dinner the night they go to Doctor Thurs- ton's?"
hvd.hwknmt	I sup- pose you can go to Florida, or to Southern Cali- fornia? ” “ A month will do, sir, ” Winslow answered.
hvd.hwknmt	I suppose you will want to go off on a wedding- trip somewhere?
hvd.hwknmt	I want to speak to you. ” “ Go into the parlor?
hvd.hwknmt	I went down all alone to have breakfast with father. ” “ Then Winslow has n't seen father this morn- ing? ” Mrs. Pierce asked, anxiously.
hvd.hwknmt	I wonder if his father began in his shirt- sleeves?
hvd.hwknmt	I've asked them for Thursday, a week from yesterday. ” “ You have asked them already? ” Mary que- ried.
hvd.hwknmt	I've promised to give them a dinner there within a week after I get in. ” “ But what is the Hoyle Club? ” his wife want- ed to know.
hvd.hwknmt	If there was hardly any mischief to be had he'd be in the thick of it- certain sure, would n't he?"
hvd.hwknmt	If you will only think before you do anything hasty. ” “ Think?"
hvd.hwknmt	Is Mary here? ” “ Yes, ” Mrs. Pierce answered.
hvd.hwknmt	Last Sunday I thought he had a cold?"
hvd.hwknmt	Mary had not spoken before, but now she looked across the table at her husband, and asked, “ Shall you have to go often, Winslow? ”.
hvd.hwknmt	No doubt he was a worthy specimen of the lower orders, but why should the mating of such people receive any attention at all?
hvd.hwknmt	Pierce in? ” he asked.
hvd.hwknmt	Silvige said I was to deliver it to Mr. Pierce him- self? ” 14 ing for Sam Sargent, is he?
hvd.hwknmt	Silvige said I was to deliver it to Mr. Pierce him- self? ” 14 ing for Sam Sargent, is he?
hvd.hwknmt	Somebody had been cheated out of a million of dollars; who was it?
hvd.hwknmt	Somebody had pocketed a million of dollars unjustly; who was 89 it?
hvd.hwknmt	That will be a lesson to others, too! ” “ I suppose that's the reason you refused his offer of settlement? ” the young man inquired.
hvd.hwknmt	That's a good idea, is n't it? ” The weary book- keeper shrugged his shoulders and made no other response.
hvd.hwknmt	The Black Crook,'have you?
hvd.hwknmt	The Westerner looked after them and said, “ Ten millions, eh?
hvd.hwknmt	The boy's 214 Central stock you wanted?
hvd.hwknmt	The young fellow hesitated, and the color left his lips; but he was finally able to answer, “ Yes. ” “ Who is she?"
hvd.hwknmt	Then Ezra Pierce thrust an- other quick question at his son, “ Does your mo- ther know her? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the young man answered.
hvd.hwknmt	Then there's that tall bookcase you had in your room before you were married, you remember, Winslow?
hvd.hwknmt	There is really no reason to put it off long, is there? ” “ I must have a little time, ” the girl responded.
hvd.hwknmt	There'll be a lot more than that coming to me some day, wo n't there?
hvd.hwknmt	There's nothing mean about him, is there? ” Old Arrowsmith shrugged his shoulders as usual, and said nothing.
hvd.hwknmt	What could Doctor Thurston have to say to his father so private that he could not listen to it?
hvd.hwknmt	What do you suppose your father is doing now? ” “ I'm sure I do n't know,"the son answered.
hvd.hwknmt	What for?
hvd.hwknmt	What has Winslow been doing? ” “ What has he been doing? ” the young wife echoed.
hvd.hwknmt	What has Winslow been doing? ” “ What has he been doing? ” the young wife echoed.
hvd.hwknmt	What has she got to worry about? ” “ I do n't know- at least, I'm not sure, ” re- sponded his wife.
hvd.hwknmt	What more do you want? ” “ There's no need to get excited about this,"Sargent returned.
hvd.hwknmt	Where had he picked up these wicked thoughts?
hvd.hwknmt	Why not Valentine's day?
hvd.hwknmt	You could be ready then, could n't you, Mary? ” 40 “ I suppose I could, ” yielded Mary, blushing again.
hvd.hwknmt	You know that, do n't you? ” Mary made no answer for a moment.
hvd.hwknmt	You know, I told you that when Transcontinental is reorganized I'm to be vice- president?
hvd.hwknmt	You see that clearly, do n't you, Winslow? ” “ Yes, ” Winslow admitted, “ I see that now.
hvd.hwknmt	You wo n't want to be gone more than a month, will you?
hvd.hwknmt	You'd think that the old man had had enough of Transcontinental lately to last the whole family for a little while, would n't you?
hvd.hwknmt	You've never been to Delmonico's, have you? ” “ Never, ” she answered.
hvd.hwknmt	cried his wife,"that would be a story, would n't it?
hvd.hwknmt	he was the president of your college, was n't he?
hvd.hwknmt	you will be kind to her, father, wo n't you? ” “ I hope I am never unkind to any one, ” Ezra Pierce responded, gravely.
hvd.hwknmt	“ After he's got me into the Hoyle Club? ” Winslow returned.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Ah, doctor, ” he cried, “ is that you?
hvd.hwknmt	“ And when do you want to be married? ” asked his father.
hvd.hwknmt	“ And why should n't I want you to be in Sing Sing? ” he asked, bitterly.
hvd.hwknmt	“ And you do n't know what your father will say? ” “ What can he say when I tell him that I'm going to dine?
hvd.hwknmt	“ And you do n't know what your father will say? ” “ What can he say when I tell him that I'm going to dine?
hvd.hwknmt	“ At your age I was- Wins- low, do you know what I was doing at your age? ” “ No, sir,"responded the son, “ at least, not exactly.
hvd.hwknmt	“ But if the Haverstraw works are ab- sorbed, Wemyss will be out of a job again, wo n't he?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ But there is something worrying her now, ” Mary urged, 148 “ Think so? ” Winslow returned.
hvd.hwknmt	“ But what of it?
hvd.hwknmt	“ But who is it? ” Winslow asked.
hvd.hwknmt	“ But who was that horrid- looking man with him? ” asked the other young lady.
hvd.hwknmt	“ But you do n't believe it? ” he cried.
hvd.hwknmt	“ But, father, ” the son was able to say at last, “ am I competent?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Did you see how white he was, and how his hand shook as he gave you those bonds? ”.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do n't you re- member, I went up to the Adirondacks and camped out for three weeks?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do n't you think there is anything at all in luck? ” asked Winslow, doubtfully.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do you dare to tell me that I have ever robbed anybody of a dollar? ” asked Ezra Pierce, in anger.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do you mean that the potteries are not worth the mortgage? ” Winslow asked.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do you mean that you are forming a trust? ” the son asked.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do you object to my smoking?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Do you think he will go as far as that?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ Does father want to see him now? ” “ I do n't know,"the mother answered.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Father is n't sick, is he?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ Father? ” repeated Winslow.
hvd.hwknmt	“ For your sake?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ Foreign Missions? ” he queried, as he handed the slip of paper to his employer's son.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Has Mr. Pierce gone down yet? ” said the resonant voice of Doctor Thurston.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Have you any enemies, father? ” asked Wins- low in surprise.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Have you fixed the day? ” “ Not yet, sir,"the son responded.
hvd.hwknmt	“ He may be rich, for all we know; he may be worth half a dozen millions, more or less; what of it?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Heard the news? ” Farebrother continued, as he went over to the fireplace and took his posi- tion before it.
hvd.hwknmt	“ How can you ask me? ” “ Could n't you do it for my sake? ” pleaded the elder woman.
hvd.hwknmt	“ How can you ask me? ” “ Could n't you do it for my sake? ” pleaded the elder woman.
hvd.hwknmt	“ How could you?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ How much does he expect now? ”.
hvd.hwknmt	“ How should I know who bought them? ” Ezra Pierce answered.
hvd.hwknmt	“ I can have my name on it, ca n't I? ” asked Winslow, with a faint blush.
hvd.hwknmt	“ I know all about that woman. ” “ What woman? ” he returned, falling back.
hvd.hwknmt	“ I say, Arrowsmith, ” he asked, “ what does this visit of Sam Sargent mean?
hvd.hwknmt	“ I say, Arrowsmith, ” he began, “ bave you seen the Stock Exchange Standard this week? ” “ No,"answered the book- keeper.
hvd.hwknmt	“ I wonder whether Winslow has told him? ” Mrs. Pierce said.
hvd.hwknmt	“ I wonder who is with her down here to- night?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ I've had no experience, and — ” “ I have the experience, have n't I? ” the father said.
hvd.hwknmt	“ If I want you? ” echoed Winslow, “ why —"But the rasping voice of his father interrupted.
hvd.hwknmt	“ If there's no reason for delay, why do n't you get married next month? ” “ Oh, Mr. Pierce, ” said Mary, “ that is very short notice.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Is Mr. Pierce in?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ Is that letter for me? ” The boy handed him the envelope and said, “ Mr.
hvd.hwknmt	“ It looks like it, does n't it?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ It's young Pierce, is n't it? ” Sargent respond- ed, whereupon Poole looked the young man through and through.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Lunching at Del's, is n't he? ” Arrowsmith said nothing in reply to this.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Mother approves of it. ” “ So you told your mother before you consulted me? ” was the father's natural inquiry.
hvd.hwknmt	“ No? ” Mary returned, reproachfully.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Not to be trusted? ” echoed Farebrother.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Oh, Winslow, is n't that gambling? ” Mary asked, anxiously.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Old man out? ” asked Farebrother, looking about.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Prince Imperial out, too? ” Farebrother.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Romeyn? ” echoed Ezra Pierce.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Sam Sargent is his pudding to- day. ” “ But I thought that father did n't approve of Mr. Sargent? ” began Winslow.
hvd.hwknmt	“ She does n't hide her good looks either, does she?
hvd.hwknmt	“ She is handsome, is n't she? ” he cried.
hvd.hwknmt	“ So Miss Romeyn is in New York now? ” his father broke in.
hvd.hwknmt	“ So this is the little girl my boy wants to marry? ” the old man continued.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Sold? ” he repeated, trying his best to keep his voice from trembling.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Tell me one thing, then? ” persisted Fare- brother.
hvd.hwknmt	“ The pottery was mortgaged for what you had paid for it, was n't it?
hvd.hwknmt	“ The presidency?
hvd.hwknmt	“ To whom? ”.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Twenty- two?
hvd.hwknmt	“ We're getting pretty poor, ai n't we?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Well, whose pockets did that come out of, I'd like to know?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Well, ” Winslow explained, “ it was ever so long ago, was n't it, mother? ” “ It was when he went to college, Mrs. Pierce went on.
hvd.hwknmt	“ What have you been doing? ” was the father's next question.
hvd.hwknmt	“ What is it?
hvd.hwknmt	“ What is the matter, my dear?"
hvd.hwknmt	“ What shall I write him? ” “ Tell him not to speculate at all.
hvd.hwknmt	“ What were those shares really worth? ” “ What are any shares really worth? ” his father repeated.
hvd.hwknmt	“ What were those shares really worth? ” “ What are any shares really worth? ” his father repeated.
hvd.hwknmt	“ What's our balance this morning? ” Fare- brother asked.
hvd.hwknmt	“ What's the difference be- tween gambling at a club and speculating on the Street?
hvd.hwknmt	“ What's the use of talking?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Where have you been? ” he asked.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Who is this man Ezra Pierce? ” it went on.
hvd.hwknmt	“ Who should know him if I do not?
hvd.hwknmt	“ Why not? ” he asked.
hvd.hwknmt	“ You made a million dollars by the deal in General Ceramic, did n't you? ” retorted Winslow.
hvd.hwknmt	“ You've plenty of money, have n't you?
hvd.hn365d	'May I see these ladies?' hvd.hn365d 'What's that to you?
hvd.hn365d	'Who will believe you against me?' hvd.hn365d Ah, Glynn, you here?"
hvd.hn365d	Alone?
hvd.hn365d	America? hvd.hn365d And Deering, he is still here?"
hvd.hn365d	And I feel as if you were; but Mr. Lambert is American?
hvd.hn365d	And Lady Gethin? — is she equally well informed?
hvd.hn365d	And Lady Gethin? — is she equally well informed?
hvd.hn365d	And can you do no more to- day?
hvd.hn365d	And do you think she would love a husband who could part her from such a father as you are?
hvd.hn365d	And he is?
hvd.hn365d	And how did Lambert — how did your father find you?
hvd.hn365d	And how do you like it?
hvd.hn365d	And i98 A r BA Y. suppose I am hanged, will you be true to my dar- ling?
hvd.hn365d	And the pump, how is it situated?
hvd.hn365d	And what have you now?
hvd.hn365d	And will you tell me?
hvd.hn365d	And you, dear Miss Riddell,said Valerie, ap- proaching her with imploring eyes,"will you not come too?
hvd.hn365d	And yourself, sir? hvd.hn365d Are you American?"
hvd.hn365d	Are you a frequent attendant of these soirees, Glynn?
hvd.hn365d	Are you coming with me?
hvd.hn365d	Are you going straight back to your hotel?
hvd.hn365d	Are you going to be married?
hvd.hn365d	Are you not going to sing to- night?
hvd.hn365d	Are you so ignorant, then?
hvd.hn365d	Are you sure this is not compassion?
hvd.hn365d	Are you sure? hvd.hn365d Are you to be at the Milton wedding next week?
hvd.hn365d	As to Eric, are you sure he has left Paris?
hvd.hn365d	But can nothing more be done? hvd.hn365d But do you think he ever will ask me?"
hvd.hn365d	But is there no one toward whom your suspicion points? hvd.hn365d But it is a set of lancers; would you not like to walk round and look at the decorations until the next dance, which is a waltz?"
hvd.hn365d	But what has become of you? hvd.hn365d But where is the'mignonne Anglaise'who used to skate with him always?
hvd.hn365d	But you will return to Paris?
hvd.hn365d	But, Elsie, may I come,—will you hear me?
hvd.hn365d	But, Lambert,exclaimed Glynn, in English,"you surely do not believe this can be your daughter?
hvd.hn365d	Can I trust you? hvd.hn365d Can you and Miss Owen dine with us on Thurs- day?
hvd.hn365d	Can you ever forgive my insane folly?
hvd.hn365d	Can you not send them?
hvd.hn365d	Can you reach it before nightfall? hvd.hn365d Can you say nothing?
hvd.hn365d	Can you see the chief entrance from this court?
hvd.hn365d	Come, this is rather an overdose of magnanimity, is it not?
hvd.hn365d	Compassion? hvd.hn365d Dearest,"said Elsie, stealing to his side, and lay- ing her cool white hand on his brow,"does your head ache?"
hvd.hn365d	Deering could not endure the companionship of such a man as Vincent, and what object could he have in following a girl like Elsie Lambert? hvd.hn365d Did he recognize you?"
hvd.hn365d	Did she?
hvd.hn365d	Do I give you delight? hvd.hn365d Do n't you like Val?"— innocently.
hvd.hn365d	Do n't you think he will come to- morrow?
hvd.hn365d	Do you fancy it is your duty to keep me in order? hvd.hn365d Do you feel something of the delight you give?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you know my cousin, Captain Verner?
hvd.hn365d	Do you know the gentleman well? hvd.hn365d Do you leave soon?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you mean to say that you think my child, my jewel, my pride, is to blame? hvd.hn365d Do you speak German, then?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you think I have never looked into any eyes, nor learned their language, before I saw Miss Lam- bert's, that I should be so mistaken?
hvd.hn365d	Do you think I'm not proof against every thing till I find her? hvd.hn365d Do you think me capable of betraying you?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you wish me to leave you?
hvd.hn365d	Do you? hvd.hn365d Does she think me an old fogey?"
hvd.hn365d	Does your friend Vincent dance well?
hvd.hn365d	Excuse me, my dear, you will think me an intru- sive old woman, but what is your name? hvd.hn365d Father,"said Elsie, taking his hand in both hers,"will you not trust me? — will you not tell me the secret?"
hvd.hn365d	Father,said Elsie, taking his hand in both hers,"will you not trust me? — will you not tell me the secret?"
hvd.hn365d	For heaven's sake tell me what it is that enables that fellow to annoy you?
hvd.hn365d	Forgotten you? hvd.hn365d Glynn,"said Lambert, gripping his hand hard,"who — who is that man — sitting there — by my — daughter?"
hvd.hn365d	Has he been losing at cards or gambling in any way? hvd.hn365d Have I kept you too long, dear father?"
hvd.hn365d	Have you any idea where to direct your ven- geance?
hvd.hn365d	Have you any suspicion? hvd.hn365d Have you been accustomed to the country, then?"
hvd.hn365d	Have you been on the ice to- day?
hvd.hn365d	Have you been to the police? hvd.hn365d Have you never, never had even a little bit of flirtation?
hvd.hn365d	Have you no idea?
hvd.hn365d	Have you telegraphed to the New York police?
hvd.hn365d	He is in America, is he not?
hvd.hn365d	He is married?
hvd.hn365d	How can I possibly tell? hvd.hn365d How can I tell unless you explain yourself?"
hvd.hn365d	How dare you say so?
hvd.hn365d	How did he come to keep her in such a place?
hvd.hn365d	How do you know I am going?
hvd.hn365d	How do you know my daughter?
hvd.hn365d	How do you know what profound tender- ness her indifferent airs may mask?
hvd.hn365d	How do you know?
hvd.hn365d	How is M. Vincent?
hvd.hn365d	How long have you been here, Sybil?
hvd.hn365d	How? hvd.hn365d I am just full of the most delightful ideas — get along, will you, with the lessons?
hvd.hn365d	I am turning driveler,he thought;"am I on the verge of making a fool of myself?
hvd.hn365d	I dine at the Cafe de Florence to- day, with Captain Methvin and Madame Gauthier; will you join us?
hvd.hn365d	I hope all this worry does not prevent you singing as much as you used?
hvd.hn365d	I say, Val, you know that brown dress I bought last week with the velvet collar and cuffs? hvd.hn365d I sup- pose you will wish to assist in the examination of the premises?"
hvd.hn365d	I suppose I ought not to ask you how and where you encountered such a shock?
hvd.hn365d	I suppose no trace whatever has been discovered?
hvd.hn365d	I suppose we are pretty sure to meet in Canada?
hvd.hn365d	I was right about the hand- writing,she said,"but,"interrupting herself,"what is the matter with you, Valerie?"
hvd.hn365d	If I do, will you let me go? hvd.hn365d If you want to talk of business, may I not go to dine with Antoinette?"
hvd.hn365d	If your conscience is clear why should you heed her? hvd.hn365d Is Mr. Deering's wife a great lady?"
hvd.hn365d	Is he talking to me?
hvd.hn365d	Is he the gentle- man that used to skate so beautifully with Miss Owen?
hvd.hn365d	Is it North or South America which has the honor of claiming you, Miss Lambert?
hvd.hn365d	Is it only curiosity? hvd.hn365d Is it possible that on so short an acquaintance you were so severely hit?"
hvd.hn365d	Is it too presumptuous of me to ask for a song now?
hvd.hn365d	Is n't that Eric Floyd skimming away like lightning, going toward the bridge between the two islands?
hvd.hn365d	Is she a friend of his?
hvd.hn365d	Is she in England?
hvd.hn365d	Is she not happy, then?
hvd.hn365d	Is that all you have to say for yourself?
hvd.hn365d	Is there indeed no chance for me?
hvd.hn365d	Is this your first visit to Paris?
hvd.hn365d	It's not every old cuss that can find a nice young lady to say as much for him, hey?
hvd.hn365d	May I come and tell you why? hvd.hn365d May I come to- morrow?"
hvd.hn365d	May I dine with you tete- h- Ute the day after to- morrow? hvd.hn365d May I put any question to Miss Lambert?"
hvd.hn365d	May I say what I think?
hvd.hn365d	May I see?
hvd.hn365d	May I try to divine it, Miss Lam- bert? hvd.hn365d Miss Trevor is late this evening, is she not?"
hvd.hn365d	Monsieur Glynn,said Madame Davilliers, sailing up,"will you come and speak to my old friend M. Le Colonel Dubois?
hvd.hn365d	Must you walk so fast?
hvd.hn365d	My father find me?
hvd.hn365d	My father is ready; will you come?
hvd.hn365d	My old friend or enemy( which is it, Eric? hvd.hn365d No, no, not much;"then with a sudden impulse,"you love your dad then, though he is a rugged old cuss?"
hvd.hn365d	No, why should I? hvd.hn365d Now can you forgive me,"cried Valerie,"and may I call Mr. Floyd, and tell him the news?"
hvd.hn365d	Now that I have found you, do you think I will lose sight of you again?
hvd.hn365d	Of course you have not seen any thing of Lam- bert?
hvd.hn365d	Old?
hvd.hn365d	On Sunday, then, when I bring you your books?
hvd.hn365d	On Thursday; I suppose you will not come back quite so soon? hvd.hn365d Pray am I not looking well dressed and altogether charming?"
hvd.hn365d	Pray, monsieur,said Madame Davilliers, who came up at that moment,"have you received your card for the ball on the 20th?
hvd.hn365d	Right, quite right, Valerie; but who is this man? hvd.hn365d Ruggedness does not then repel you?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall you be here when it takes place?
hvd.hn365d	Shall you make any stay?
hvd.hn365d	Shall you not see her again at the Hartwells'dance?
hvd.hn365d	Shall you write to the father?
hvd.hn365d	She can sing a bit, ca n't she?
hvd.hn365d	Silly! — do you know that you seem to me the im- personation of tranquil, womanly wisdom?
hvd.hn365d	So I am to consider myself pardoned?
hvd.hn365d	Suppose you let me see Deering on your behalf?
hvd.hn365d	Tell me,asked Glynn, moved by a sudden im- pulse,"did you enjoy the races last Sunday at Auteuil?
hvd.hn365d	Tell me,said Lambert, more calmly than he had yet spoken,"do you think your old comrade a male- factor?
hvd.hn365d	The insolent, daring villain,he muttered;"can I do nothing to turn his flank?
hvd.hn365d	Then I will not ask you; — but tell me, when shall I see your father?
hvd.hn365d	Then he sailed from Liverpool? hvd.hn365d Then what do you say to settling yourself?
hvd.hn365d	Then you are not?
hvd.hn365d	Then you can not like Paris?
hvd.hn365d	Then you have not asked her to marry you?
hvd.hn365d	Then you like dancing?
hvd.hn365d	Then you read too? hvd.hn365d They can not hurt him, can they?
hvd.hn365d	This is curious,thought Miss Rid- dell;"I wonder who he is?
hvd.hn365d	This seems to have been a rapid act?
hvd.hn365d	To- morrow? hvd.hn365d To.me?
hvd.hn365d	Travers Deering? hvd.hn365d Try and find out as you walk along — you are going to the singing- class, are you not, to- day?"
hvd.hn365d	Vichy? hvd.hn365d Was he a tall, haughty- looking man, very English, and rather distingue?"
hvd.hn365d	We do n't know what his communication with her may have masked?
hvd.hn365d	Well, I suppose he must pass through Paris, but you mean something more; where, and how did you see him?
hvd.hn365d	Well, Mr. Floyd, and pray what has become of you? hvd.hn365d Well,"ejaculated Lady Gethin,"what did you find?"
hvd.hn365d	Well,said Deering, without further salutation,"have you any news?
hvd.hn365d	What about?
hvd.hn365d	What are you going to do with yourself, Elsie, this damp, drizzling afternoon? hvd.hn365d What are you talking of?"
hvd.hn365d	What claim has he? hvd.hn365d What could you have thought of me?"
hvd.hn365d	What do you see?
hvd.hn365d	What do you smile at?
hvd.hn365d	What does your employesay?"
hvd.hn365d	What has become of you for the last week?
hvd.hn365d	What have you done? hvd.hn365d What is his claim upon you?"
hvd.hn365d	What is his name?
hvd.hn365d	What is the matter, dear? hvd.hn365d What is the matter?"
hvd.hn365d	What is the name of the woman in Wales?
hvd.hn365d	What of that? hvd.hn365d What was he saying, Val?"
hvd.hn365d	What was her name?
hvd.hn365d	What would Lady Frances have said?
hvd.hn365d	What would your father say to your desertion of your old friend for a new acquaintance?
hvd.hn365d	What, by wire?
hvd.hn365d	When did you arrive?
hvd.hn365d	When shall I go?
hvd.hn365d	Where is Sybil? hvd.hn365d Where?"
hvd.hn365d	Who can tell?
hvd.hn365d	Who is that distinguished- looking woman — the smaller of the two talking to Admiral Verner? hvd.hn365d Who will scold you?
hvd.hn365d	Why are you hurrying away to London?
hvd.hn365d	Why do you submit to such an impo- sition?
hvd.hn365d	Why do you want to know a set of people so com- pletely out of your line?
hvd.hn365d	Why does he persist?
hvd.hn365d	Why have you caused this cruel anxiety?
hvd.hn365d	Why is Lambert not here to see your triumph?
hvd.hn365d	Why not? hvd.hn365d Why not?"
hvd.hn365d	Why should you think so?
hvd.hn365d	Why to me?
hvd.hn365d	Why, where is he?
hvd.hn365d	Why? hvd.hn365d Why?
hvd.hn365d	Why? hvd.hn365d Why?"
hvd.hn365d	Why?
hvd.hn365d	Will he never go?
hvd.hn365d	Will you come to- morrow?
hvd.hn365d	Will you drive with me, Deering?
hvd.hn365d	Will you not come in and say a little word to madame? hvd.hn365d Will you not enlighten me?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you promise this, solemnly, faithfully?
hvd.hn365d	Will you sit down, or shall we go into the salon, this is such a tiny place?
hvd.hn365d	Will you tell me where she is?
hvd.hn365d	Will you think of me now?
hvd.hn365d	Wisdom is a gift that may be improved, not created by learning,said Glynn;"but as you permit me to ask, what was the terror to which you allude?"
hvd.hn365d	Yes, I shall probably find her; but how? hvd.hn365d Yes, but can you hope to do so?
hvd.hn365d	Yet you had a very agreeable neighbor?
hvd.hn365d	You are fond of reading, Miss Lambert?
hvd.hn365d	You are not afraid of any thing?
hvd.hn365d	You could not like him, I suppose, Valerie? hvd.hn365d You do not return to London just yet?"
hvd.hn365d	You do not then believe that any great crime has been committed?
hvd.hn365d	You have been across the channel?
hvd.hn365d	You have not granted me a waltz yet, Miss Lam- bert; may I have the next?
hvd.hn365d	You have some pleasant news, I am sure?
hvd.hn365d	You have something to tell me? hvd.hn365d You know the Cafe de Madrid, of course?"
hvd.hn365d	You really think so? hvd.hn365d You surely are not such a goose as to cry because that well- meaning fidgetty little Madame Rosambert has scolded you off and on for a day or two?"
hvd.hn365d	You think so? hvd.hn365d You will return to- morrow night, I suppose?"
hvd.hn365d	You will stay with us to- night, chcre Elsie?
hvd.hn365d	'Did she sing?'
hvd.hn365d	'How do I know you are speaking truth?'
hvd.hn365d	'Was she tall, or short?
hvd.hn365d	101 dered?"
hvd.hn365d	159"Now that you have found your fair Helen, what are you going to do with her?"
hvd.hn365d	3* bert exclaimed in his hearty manner and rather pecu- liar French,"How goes it, Madame Weber?
hvd.hn365d	41 fear?
hvd.hn365d	43"Oh yes; I should be very glad if you will come with us, and then you will come and see Madame Davilliers while I am with her?
hvd.hn365d	75"That's fortunate; and you have been all right?"
hvd.hn365d	85 from Parisian gayeties?"
hvd.hn365d	A quiet home, with such a com- panion, what could be a fairer lot?
hvd.hn365d	Am I too English?"
hvd.hn365d	And how are you, my dear?
hvd.hn365d	And suppose she were discovered, might not the discovery be nearly as terrible as the loss?
hvd.hn365d	And to America?"
hvd.hn365d	And what do you think?
hvd.hn365d	And you,"she continued, turning to him,"you wish to marry me in the face of all this?"
hvd.hn365d	Any thing in the book- making way?
hvd.hn365d	Are my eyes very red?"
hvd.hn365d	Are they both in Lon- don?
hvd.hn365d	Are you going?"
hvd.hn365d	Are you going?"
hvd.hn365d	At what hour did you lock the door and put out your light last night?"
hvd.hn365d	Been bitten by a bubble company?"
hvd.hn365d	But he would n't be such a villain as to forswear himself?
hvd.hn365d	But if her father was seeking her in America, how came she here, alone, and evidently disguised?
hvd.hn365d	But might she not be the wife of another man?
hvd.hn365d	By the way, do you ever hear any thing of the Lambert business?"
hvd.hn365d	By the way, have you found out how he escaped from the steamer where Vincent absolutely saw him en route for America?"
hvd.hn365d	By the way, how did you get on last evening?"
hvd.hn365d	By the way, is your American friend Vincent in town?
hvd.hn365d	By the way, where do you hang out?
hvd.hn365d	Can I assist you to take out those in your hair also?'
hvd.hn365d	Can I fetch you a book or do any thing for you before I go?"
hvd.hn365d	Can you dine with us to- day?
hvd.hn365d	Can you remember nothing that might serve as a clew to her extraordi- nary disappearance?"
hvd.hn365d	Captain Grey was there, and who do you think came with him?
hvd.hn365d	Come with me to- morrow, and let me intro- duce you to Miss Lambert?"
hvd.hn365d	Could it be that all these delicious possibilities would fade away and leave her to the pale gray tints of her former existence?
hvd.hn365d	Could it be the man who spoke to her in the Madeleine?
hvd.hn365d	Could she by any possibility have overheard her father's proposal, and his refusal?
hvd.hn365d	Could you manage to start on Tuesday night instead of Thurs- day morning?
hvd.hn365d	Did Deering suspect as he did that the cloaked and veiled figure might be Elsie Lambert?
hvd.hn365d	Did my aunt tell you she expected two gentlemen, old Canadian friends, to call here to- morrow and would like to give them a cup of tea?"
hvd.hn365d	Did you see any one else you knew at Auteuil?"
hvd.hn365d	Do n't you think it was very ill- natured of madame not to let me know the girls were going to the Hotel Cluny with Mrs. Meyrick, this morning?
hvd.hn365d	Do n't you think me hateful?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you believe me?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you feel no leaning toward me — no shadow of reciprocity?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you find Sybil Owen very unmanage- able?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you know any lady that would be kind to Elsie, and look after her?
hvd.hn365d	Do you know that he has gone to America to search for you?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you not feel, do you not see, that I love you, as men rarely love?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you not see how miserable and — and I must say degrading — all this craving for what you can not be sure about is?
hvd.hn365d	Do you object to him?."
hvd.hn365d	Do you remember America?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you remember your mother at all?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you suppose it's Val's business to keep me in order?
hvd.hn365d	Do you think me selfish for saying so?"
hvd.hn365d	Do you think she will come the day after to- morrow?"
hvd.hn365d	Does he know you were in love with her?"
hvd.hn365d	Does the lady know we are hunted fugitives?"
hvd.hn365d	Elsie, what can I do to comfort and help you?
hvd.hn365d	Eric said,'Where do you put up?
hvd.hn365d	First, why is madame so angry with you?"
hvd.hn365d	Glynn, all I can find strength to say is, will you help me to save my Elsie?
hvd.hn365d	Glynn, you will help me?
hvd.hn365d	Glynn?"
hvd.hn365d	Glynn?"
hvd.hn365d	Good heavens?
hvd.hn365d	Had he done well to turn from so rich a store of goodly gifts because it was set in uncouth surroundings?
hvd.hn365d	Had she recognized him?
hvd.hn365d	Had your daughter any admirer to whom you were averse?"
hvd.hn365d	Has Mr. Lambert agreed to take you to the Pyrenees or to England?"
hvd.hn365d	Has my daughter • told you we have changed our plans, and substituted a little dinner at the Madrid instead of baking ourselves at the Comique?
hvd.hn365d	Have I made you happy?
hvd.hn365d	Have a piece of old- gold satin ribbon to tie up your bonnie brown hair?"
hvd.hn365d	Have you any theory?"
hvd.hn365d	Have you found your young woman?"
hvd.hn365d	Have you seen Lady Frances Deering lately?"
hvd.hn365d	Have you seen the Deerings?
hvd.hn365d	Have you seen them, Glynn?
hvd.hn365d	He has rather an odd name, has he not?"
hvd.hn365d	He is alone, n'est ce pas?"
hvd.hn365d	He is rather a queer fish, is n't he?"
hvd.hn365d	He is so weak; will you come to him?
hvd.hn365d	Here?
hvd.hn365d	How Could I leave you here in the dark alone?"
hvd.hn365d	How bitterly she regretted her own stupidity that missed seeing him as he passed?
hvd.hn365d	How can I ever thank you enough?"
hvd.hn365d	How can you ex- pect me to encourage you in such insanity?"
hvd.hn365d	How could I return home at perhaps two or three o'clock?"
hvd.hn365d	How did he come to have such a daughter?
hvd.hn365d	How did he come to know Mr. Vincent?
hvd.hn365d	How did this man come to speak to you?"
hvd.hn365d	How did you come to know him?"
hvd.hn365d	How does it happen that such a girl can be the outcome of a society of bourgeois and sharpers?
hvd.hn365d	How in the name of all that was contradictory did he come to have such a daughter?
hvd.hn365d	How is Madame Davilliers, and Mademoiselle An- toinette?"
hvd.hn365d	How is our queer acquaintance Lambert and his incomparable daughter?
hvd.hn365d	How is the beautiful city?"
hvd.hn365d	How long had she been there?
hvd.hn365d	How shall I know her?"
hvd.hn365d	How would imperfect human nature — imperfect human love stand such a test?
hvd.hn365d	How would my story tell against yours?'
hvd.hn365d	I am so infinitely happy as to have won Elsie's; you will not withhold yours?"
hvd.hn365d	I fancy you have been looking up too, there's an air of success, of solid respectability, eh?
hvd.hn365d	I have met one of them, Vander- voort, in London; do you know him?"
hvd.hn365d	I hope this will be agreeable to you?"
hvd.hn365d	I kept A T BA Y. out a little just to throw away and keep up with the others, but did you ever see me forget myself in drink?"
hvd.hn365d	I ought to have gone a week ago, but I met some people that amused me, Lady Harriet Beau- champ and Wedderburn — you know them, I suppose?
hvd.hn365d	I seemed a penni- less adventurer, did n't I?
hvd.hn365d	I shall yet salute you as Lord Mayor of London,'Turn again, Whittington,'hey?
hvd.hn365d	I suppose I must not come to- mor- row?
hvd.hn365d	I suppose Sunday is your only free day?"
hvd.hn365d	I suppose there is some village or town near where a man could put up?
hvd.hn365d	I thought you were in London?"
hvd.hn365d	I told him and then Captain Grey said imploringly,'May I not come too, Miss Owen?'
hvd.hn365d	I trust you have no bad news from home?"
hvd.hn365d	I will never leave you; still London is but nine hours from Paris, and if I could do better there, might you not come to me?"
hvd.hn365d	I wonder if he would ask him to Denham and introduce him to his wife, Lady Frances?"
hvd.hn365d	I wonder where he picked her up, for one ca n't be- lieve she really is his daughter?"
hvd.hn365d	I wonder who Elsie's mother was?
hvd.hn365d	I wonder who this father of hers is?
hvd.hn365d	I've finished my two jour- nals, and had a doze, but you have enjoyed the pictures, eh?"
hvd.hn365d	II?
hvd.hn365d	If so, what could he do to save her from his recognition?
hvd.hn365d	Is Lady Frances with him?"
hvd.hn365d	Is he — good, I mean kind, or hard and cruel?
hvd.hn365d	Is it long since you met?"
hvd.hn365d	Is it not possible that a visitor might have entered and walked round the garden with the other two?
hvd.hn365d	Is it permitted to a brutal Englishman to say your toilet is perfect?"
hvd.hn365d	Is my uncle in the house?"
hvd.hn365d	Is there no way in which I can help you?"
hvd.hn365d	It is not his poverty only you object to?"
hvd.hn365d	Just see what folly it is to throw away fortune, and all this"— wav- ing his hand toward the trees and upland —"for what?
hvd.hn365d	Kellett?"
hvd.hn365d	Knowledge of some possible and real abduction, or merely imagi- native fury?
hvd.hn365d	Lady Agnes is your sister- in- law, is she not?"
hvd.hn365d	MAID, WIFE, OR WIDOW?
hvd.hn365d	MAID, WIFE, OR WIDOW?
hvd.hn365d	MAID, WIFE, OR »?>* f^"\ Philadelphia Bible Warehouse THE FRERES.
hvd.hn365d	May I come to- morrow?"
hvd.hn365d	May I go to- morrow?"
hvd.hn365d	May I wait, and escort you to Madame Davilliers'?"
hvd.hn365d	May be I'll be lucky, hey?"
hvd.hn365d	Must you not admit that the balance of evidence is against such a find?"
hvd.hn365d	My father — he is ill? — he is dead?"
hvd.hn365d	My father — he is ill? — he is dead?"
hvd.hn365d	Never?
hvd.hn365d	No, indeed: but why — why were you obliged to hide me?
hvd.hn365d	No; why should it be compassion?
hvd.hn365d	No?
hvd.hn365d	No?
hvd.hn365d	No?
hvd.hn365d	Now are you going to keep your word, and give me over what you would n't give poor Deering?'
hvd.hn365d	Now is n't that a history?"
hvd.hn365d	Now tell me,—have you succeeded this morning?"
hvd.hn365d	Now, ca n't it be, Glynn? — ca n't it?"
hvd.hn365d	Now, ca n't it be, Glynn? — ca n't it?"
hvd.hn365d	Now, what has your journey cost you?"
hvd.hn365d	Of course he has an object in all this, and of •course you do n't believe/ would take a life?"
hvd.hn365d	Of whom did I remind him?
hvd.hn365d	Oh, are you going?
hvd.hn365d	Oh, madame, where can we get tea — really good tea?"
hvd.hn365d	Pray has she any relations named Acton?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall I find you here when I return?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall I stay with you?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall we ever understand the'where- fore'that is beyond and above our material sense?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall we go to Madame Davilliers'now?
hvd.hn365d	Shall we never be free and happy again?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall we tell him that I saw Vincent?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall you be much longer here?"
hvd.hn365d	Shall you stay here much longer?"
hvd.hn365d	She must know what his intended explanation meant; would she have promised to hear it if she were not disposed to hear it favorably?
hvd.hn365d	Smith?"
hvd.hn365d	So Glynn took her pro- gramme and wrote his own name for several waltzes, prefacing each inscription with a persuasive"May I?"
hvd.hn365d	So after looking in at Gaglinane's,? iid reading the English papers, Glynn found himstif on his way to the Rue de L'Eveque.
hvd.hn365d	So he calls himself captain?
hvd.hn365d	Surely the faint suggestions of a likeness would strike him also?
hvd.hn365d	Surely there is no danger?
hvd.hn365d	Tell me how you are yourself?
hvd.hn365d	Tell me, did you know my father very well long ago?"
hvd.hn365d	Tell me, did you recognize me in the omnibus?"
hvd.hn365d	Tell me, how do I stand with yourself?
hvd.hn365d	That the extraordinary finesse of the police should finally succeed was possible, but in the interim what crime might not be committed?
hvd.hn365d	That's the liver complaint, is it?
hvd.hn365d	Then glancingat the card,"you are no longer on active service?"
hvd.hn365d	Then to Glynn,"shall we stroll toward the lakes?
hvd.hn365d	Then turning to Glynn, she asked,"Do you think the fireworks will soon begin?"
hvd.hn365d	Then with a sort^f effort he went straight up to Deering and said audibly in English,"We have met before, sir, have we not?"
hvd.hn365d	Then with a sudden recollection,"But how do you know I was at the races; they were long ago, before I knew you?"
hvd.hn365d	Then your old friend Mrs., I forget the name, who used to take care of you, is coming to Paris?
hvd.hn365d	They have a description of Lambert, I suppose?"
hvd.hn365d	They were rather taken with the notion that Lambert him- self had made away with his daughter?"
hvd.hn365d	They would suit you so well — wouldn't they, Val?"
hvd.hn365d	This dear lady wishes to rob me of thee, my beautiful Valerie — thou wouldst not leave me to die alone?"
hvd.hn365d	Those vague threats against some unnamed villain, what did they indicate?
hvd.hn365d	Time went slowly, painfully; but at length a sergent de ville approaching saluted him, saying,"Will mon- sieur give himself the trouble to enter?
hvd.hn365d	To what hideous plot had she fallen a victim?
hvd.hn365d	Val, dear, would you mind going across to Chauvot's for some chocolate?
hvd.hn365d	Valerie, will you let me try to win you?
hvd.hn365d	WHICH SHALL IT BE?
hvd.hn365d	WHICH SHALL IT BE?
hvd.hn365d	Wa- gram? — very good."
hvd.hn365d	Was Glynn aware of any her- editary tendency in that direction, which might account for much?
hvd.hn365d	Was he culpably weak in letting her go?
hvd.hn365d	Was it not rude and unkind of Eric Floyd to break his promise in that way?
hvd.hn365d	Was it the part of a true man to count the cost, to shrink from any possible risk, rather than to brave all things for true love?
hvd.hn365d	Was n't it a slice out of heaven?
hvd.hn365d	Was n't it nonsense?
hvd.hn365d	Was she French?'
hvd.hn365d	Was that Mrs. Storrer in the secret?"
hvd.hn365d	Was the omission of one of them at first intentional?
hvd.hn365d	We must try and persuade Madame Davilliers and the dear father to walk; do you mind walking after dinner?"
hvd.hn365d	What can I do?"
hvd.hn365d	What do you know?
hvd.hn365d	What do you suspect?"
hvd.hn365d	What do you think of doing now?"
hvd.hn365d	What has he done?"
hvd.hn365d	What have you been about?
hvd.hn365d	What have you been doing with yourself?
hvd.hn365d	What have you seen?
hvd.hn365d	What horror had befallen the tender, delicate darling whom he had hoped to call his promised wife that day?
hvd.hn365d	What in the world has kept you away so long?
hvd.hn365d	What induced you to banish yourself to such a wilderness as Neuilly?"
hvd.hn365d	What is it, my dear?"
hvd.hn365d	What is the mat- ter with you, my dear?"
hvd.hn365d	What matter what becomes of me if she is safe? — oh God!
hvd.hn365d	What secrets would that meeting unveil?
hvd.hn365d	What shall I do?
hvd.hn365d	What shall you do when you have cooked your uncle's poulet?"
hvd.hn365d	What was the dim haze of mystery which hung about her, and had now suddenly deepened into darkness so pro- found that it defied conjecture?
hvd.hn365d	What would be the destiny of such a woman so placed?
hvd.hn365d	What would your assertion be against mine?
hvd.hn365d	What's your hotel?
hvd.hn365d	When and where should he find a companion so sweet, so intelligent, so satisfying to heart and sense?
hvd.hn365d	When can I see your uncle?"
hvd.hn365d	When is the next train?"
hvd.hn365d	When may I come to- morrow?"
hvd.hn365d	When should he know all?
hvd.hn365d	Whenever Antoinette went they kindly took me:""I suppose you are fond of dancing?"
hvd.hn365d	Where could Eric have gone?"
hvd.hn365d	Where did you meet him?"
hvd.hn365d	Where do you put up?
hvd.hn365d	Where had she gone?
hvd.hn365d	Where have you been all these days?"
hvd.hn365d	Where have you hidden yourself?"
hvd.hn365d	Where is she?"
hvd.hn365d	While Glynn was struggling to answer the question with which we have all puzzled ourselves at one time or another —"Where have I seen that face?
hvd.hn365d	Who has any interest in taking her away?
hvd.hn365d	Who is it she reminds me of?"
hvd.hn365d	Who will believe a word you utter?
hvd.hn365d	Who will come?"
hvd.hn365d	Why ca n't she get on with Deering?
hvd.hn365d	Why did he do it?
hvd.hn365d	Why did you not send for me when he was ill?"
hvd.hn365d	Why did you not tell me?
hvd.hn365d	Why do I despair?
hvd.hn365d	Why do n't you take the bonne with you, or wait till I come in?"
hvd.hn365d	Why do you ask?"
hvd.hn365d	Why do you distrust me?
hvd.hn365d	Why do you let such fancies fasten them- selves upon you?
hvd.hn365d	Why do you think so?"
hvd.hn365d	Why does Mr. Deering hate you?
hvd.hn365d	Why had he not accepted Lambert's proposition?
hvd.hn365d	Why had he not accompanied her to her house, and seen her safely within her father's door?
hvd.hn365d	Why not wait till he comes up to town?"
hvd.hn365d	Why should I?
hvd.hn365d	Why should he let himself be cheated by cold caution out of the delicious, perhaps invigorating draught which fortune offered him?
hvd.hn365d	Why should this call forth such poignant self- reproach?"
hvd.hn365d	Why — why have you given us all this sorrow, this fearful anxiety?
hvd.hn365d	Why, why do you turn from me?
hvd.hn365d	Will you be her guardian, and take care of her little fortune?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you come with us, Glynn?
hvd.hn365d	Will you keep what I am going to say entirely and completely to yourself?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you mind my leaving my hat here?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you not wait and trust your father and me?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you not, Madame Davilliers?
hvd.hn365d	Will you pardon me any wrong I may have done you?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you try and forget what must have seemed audacious and intrusive to you?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you try to love me?
hvd.hn365d	Will you undertake Miss Green?"
hvd.hn365d	Will you, Val?"
hvd.hn365d	Would any blame attach to her?
hvd.hn365d	Would it not be better to face it all?"
hvd.hn365d	Would n't you think now a girl would be all right in her father's house with a respect- able young woman like Celestine to wait on her?
hvd.hn365d	Would she accept it?
hvd.hn365d	Would she be true to her promise?
hvd.hn365d	Would you not like to come?"
hvd.hn365d	You are fond of Paris, I think?"
hvd.hn365d	You did n't think her looking well,-hey?"
hvd.hn365d	You do not mind me telling you all this, do you?
hvd.hn365d	You do not think that delicate, tender creature would fly hom you to meet men of whom you know nothing?"
hvd.hn365d	You have not read many English books perhaps?"
hvd.hn365d	You know?"
hvd.hn365d	You still here, Verner?"
hvd.hn365d	You will come again, will you not?"
hvd.hn365d	You're in business, ar'n't you?"
hvd.hn365d	Your mother?"
hvd.hn365d	and Sybil?"
hvd.hn365d	and you, Antoinette,—you will I am sure?"
hvd.hn365d	cried Lambert hoarsely,"where is nly child?
hvd.hn365d	cried his hearers together,"what do you mean?"
hvd.hn365d	do I not think of him?
hvd.hn365d	do n't you see what a mischievous wretch I have been?
hvd.hn365d	do you think I am dodging the police because I hide away from every one?"
hvd.hn365d	gave him the great benefit of her com- panionship, for she knew how to be sympathetically AT BAY 121"Well, Hugh, and how are you?
hvd.hn365d	have you helped that scoundrel Vincent to take her away?
hvd.hn365d	he asked, with some hesitation;"and is n't she looking — not well?"
hvd.hn365d	he repeated hoarsely, —"who — who do you mean? — your husband and yourself?"
hvd.hn365d	he repeated hoarsely, —"who — who do you mean? — your husband and yourself?"
hvd.hn365d	how can any one get out without calling me?
hvd.hn365d	in famous London town?"

hvd.hnnyu5	Creepy? hvd.hnnyu5 Did you hear what they said at all?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Does Captain Lovat get stodgy? ” asked Shirley, looking at the other with a smile. hvd.hnnyu5 Does n't it look nice?
hvd.hnnyu5	Has Joyce Cassilis been talk- in? hvd.hnnyu5 Have you had tea? ” “ Two, thanks; but one of your heavy, opium- tainted cigarettes might steady my nerves.
hvd.hnnyu5	He wonders why I like you, Joyce. ” “ Did you tell him? hvd.hnnyu5 He's really made you happier? ”"I was happy before I ever heard of him.
hvd.hnnyu5	How about Miss Herbert and Mr. Burrell? ” “ They are neither entirely children nor altogether stupid, which happens at times. hvd.hnnyu5 How can you?
hvd.hnnyu5	How do you do, Migs Cresswell? hvd.hnnyu5 How do you do?
hvd.hnnyu5	How do you do? ” said Shirley, submitting first one cheek and then the other to an enthusiastic kiss. hvd.hnnyu5 I beg your pardon, Miss? ”"Have you any cottages close to the house? ” “ The grounds are a fair size, Miss.

hvd.hnnyu5	I did warn you, did n't I?
hvd.hnnyu5	I suppose that was more than seven years ago? ” she suggested, raising her eyebrows in delicate in- terrogation. hvd.hnnyu5 I thought it was water... What was it?
hvd.hnnyu5	I wonder why on earth? ” Shirley laughed. hvd.hnnyu5 Is he?
hvd.hnnyu5	Is that Mr. Burrell? ” As Magdalen nodded, Gathorne's voice broke out afresh. hvd.hnnyu5 Is that Shirley Cresswell?
hvd.hnnyu5	Is that so? ” His intonation, at times, very faintly suggested an American origin. hvd.hnnyu5 Nothing?
hvd.hnnyu5	Nothing? ” cried her friend, startled into indig- nation. hvd.hnnyu5 Oh? ” She hesitated, as if feeling that it was now her duty to ask a few questions, in return for all those which she had answered.
hvd.hnnyu5	So none of these things are yours- chosen by you, that is? ”Not many.
hvd.hnnyu5	Was that the Foulkes who was brought down somewhere near Douai? ” enquired Billy. hvd.hnnyu5 We all do, do n't we? ”"I've only seen her, ” said Billy.
hvd.hnnyu5	What was your college?
hvd.hnnyu5	Why are you so keen about it? hvd.hnnyu5 You are getting nervous, my dear, are n't you?
hvd.hnnyu5	You see? ” he said. hvd.hnnyu5 You're ready?
hvd.hnnyu5	'Oh, reaaally??
hvd.hnnyu5	'Oh, reaaally??
hvd.hnnyu5	.. Do you think he's a nice man?
hvd.hnnyu5	... Did your old man bring you right up to your door? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnnyu5	... Do you know the sort of fellow that's got hold of you?
hvd.hnnyu5	... Eh?
hvd.hnnyu5	... Jealous, no doubt. ” “ That poor old thing, too?
hvd.hnnyu5	... Tell me about the dog- fight- or were you chucked out of a taxi?"
hvd.hnnyu5	... Well, what about some melon, my child?
hvd.hnnyu5	... What do you think? ”'she concluded, looking up at him suddenly.
hvd.hnnyu5	... What fish?
hvd.hnnyu5	... What would you like after that noisette, Shirley? ”"I could n't eat anything else, truly, thanks very much.
hvd.hnnyu5	... You have n't been out of this room? ” With the last words, which seemed to have occurred to him unexpectedly, he looked quickly up.
hvd.hnnyu5	... You speak French, of course? ” “ Oh no!

hvd.hnnyu5	... You'll see me off, wo n't you?

hvd.hnnyu5	42 THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT"I do n't understand. ”"Shall we take this path? ” he asked, pausing at one of the entrances to the box- maze.
hvd.hnnyu5	8 THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT “ And you've no relations left at all?
hvd.hnnyu5	?
hvd.hnnyu5	?"
hvd.hnnyu5	A writer or something? ”"Nothing nowadays, as far as I know.
hvd.hnnyu5	Alone? ” “ Alone?
hvd.hnnyu5	Alone? ” “ Alone?
hvd.hnnyu5	Am I right?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Am I to be allowed to help you?"
hvd.hnnyu5	And how have you been get- ting on?
hvd.hnnyu5	And then perhaps Mr. Burrell gave me a shock. ”"Eh? ” he interrupted, his voice becoming keener, though his face remained unchanged.
hvd.hnnyu5	And what about the ethical part of it?
hvd.hnnyu5	And yet, you know, he did n't look any older than he was, did he?
hvd.hnnyu5	And, if so, why?"
hvd.hnnyu5	And, to begin with, shall we clear a tiresome obstruction to intimacy out of the way, and agree to call each other by our Christian names?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Any relation of the Whissendines? ” “ I do n't really know; very likely,"said Mrs. Cassilis.
hvd.hnnyu5	Are n't you satisfied with your entertainment in this one?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Are you fond of children?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Are you hun- gry?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Besides, what have kids got to do with it, anyhow?...
hvd.hnnyu5	Besides, what would be the good of it?
hvd.hnnyu5	But Edward! ” “ But what have you got against him?
hvd.hnnyu5	But I tell you what, ” hastily added Shirley, avoiding THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT 89 Magdalen's sullen gaze, “ why not ask Emily Brook?
hvd.hnnyu5	But Rye's not far off- where the sta- tion is? ” “ Where the station is, Miss, yes.
hvd.hnnyu5	But at any rate you are a Christian? ” “ Oh, yes! ” “ And have you found that your belief consoles you at all? ” She hesitated.
hvd.hnnyu5	But at any rate you are a Christian? ” “ Oh, yes! ” “ And have you found that your belief consoles you at all? ” She hesitated.
hvd.hnnyu5	But he and Shirley were engaged — ” “ Actually?
hvd.hnnyu5	But that is not to be thought of; you must go through your initiation willingly, or of what value would it be, either to yourself or to us?
hvd.hnnyu5	But there's such a crowd, is n't there?
hvd.hnnyu5	But why do you want other houses?
hvd.hnnyu5	But why?
hvd.hnnyu5	But would he stay there?
hvd.hnnyu5	But... exactly! ”"And you still think there's hope for me?"
hvd.hnnyu5	By the bye, what is he?
hvd.hnnyu5	Can you imagine regarding her in a ro- mantic light? ”"Lots of men do.
hvd.hnnyu5	Could n't you find me?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Did he say that he had an old score against her that needed settling?
hvd.hnnyu5	Did you ever hear of the Tewkesbury Court business?
hvd.hnnyu5	Did you like Joyce Cassilis'dress?
hvd.hnnyu5	Do I look like Torque mada? ” THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT 103 “ I do n't know."
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you consider that that offers sufficient inducement to study the matter a little further?
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you know her, Edward?
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you know the police are after him?
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you mind? ” 126 THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT “ What have you been hearing about me? ” he broke out fiercely.
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you mind? ” 126 THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT “ What have you been hearing about me? ” he broke out fiercely.
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you mind?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you think there's any real cure for them, or must they just be lived down?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Do you thinks he's a man at all?
hvd.hnnyu5	Does he strike you as an old man?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Eh?...
hvd.hnnyu5	For Delbruck of South Molton Street, is n't it?

hvd.hnnyu5	Good- bye! ” “ When shall I see you next? ”!
hvd.hnnyu5	Hardly at all. ” “ Really?

hvd.hnnyu5	He was quite young, was n't he?
hvd.hnnyu5	He's a friend of yours nowadays, is n't he? ” “ Yes, I like him very much,"Shirley stoutly af- firmed.
hvd.hnnyu5	He's helped me a lot — How?
hvd.hnnyu5	He's off his head, is n't he?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Homer? ” “ I should say not.
hvd.hnnyu5	Honestly?
hvd.hnnyu5	How can you look about you and doubt it?
hvd.hnnyu5	How can you think-? ” “ I do n't.
hvd.hnnyu5	How do you know he does n't need you? ”"He?
hvd.hnnyu5	How do you know he does n't need you? ”"He?
hvd.hnnyu5	How do you know that I am clean- shaven?

hvd.hnnyu5	How many? ” “ In the party, Miss?
hvd.hnnyu5	How many? ” “ In the party, Miss?
hvd.hnnyu5	How then are we to ap- proach the knowledge of these two great opposing forces?
hvd.hnnyu5	I called out:'What is it?
hvd.hnnyu5	I do n't mean that he's paid off bills for me. ” “ Does he make love to you? ” “ Of course not!
hvd.hnnyu5	I do n't sup- pose you'll believe a word of it; and yet you did warn me against that man, several times, did n't you? ” “ What?
hvd.hnnyu5	I do n't sup- pose you'll believe a word of it; and yet you did warn me against that man, several times, did n't you? ” “ What?
hvd.hnnyu5	I had been living for a good while in America. ”"Really?
hvd.hnnyu5	I had n't supposed him to be so blind. ”"How do you mean? ” Sir Edward covered her with his cool, bland smile.
hvd.hnnyu5	I hate anything wrong physically, do n't you?
hvd.hnnyu5	I love them; they've got such a topping scent, have n't they?
hvd.hnnyu5	I make no claim to be in the very forefront, although my nearest competitors seem to wish to give me the first place. ” “ Who are they?
hvd.hnnyu5	I mean, it is n't easy to forget entirely, is it?
hvd.hnnyu5	I say, shall I take you and shew you the orchid house?
hvd.hnnyu5	I say, you will stay to supper, wo n't you?
hvd.hnnyu5	I should imagine that you might do a good deal by yourself, in your spare moments. ”"Books?"
hvd.hnnyu5	I tell you that, by itself, it would have consoled you about as much as a handbook on algebra. ” “ Then what was it?"
hvd.hnnyu5	I think it's such a tedious job. ” “ Yes, will you?"
hvd.hnnyu5	I think you might go away, when you're asked. ” “ Was it Talbot?"
hvd.hnnyu5	I trust that you're feeling quite yourself again, by now?"
hvd.hnnyu5	I was beginning to feel a little I do n't know — sorry for myself. ” “ How's that? ” “ Oh, nothing!
hvd.hnnyu5	I went to Oxford for the boat racing- Eights'Week, do they call it? — then; and I was only wondering...
hvd.hnnyu5	I wonder if you'd be an angel- child, and do me a favour. ” “ What's that? ”"Put me up for the night.
hvd.hnnyu5	I'm not awfully interested in that sort of thing, are you? ” A slight shake of the head was all the reply.
hvd.hnnyu5	I'm sorry I startled you, but I gave you warning, did n't I?
hvd.hnnyu5	I've been here pretty often lately, but I have n't been asked to their country place yet. ”"Have you known them long?"
hvd.hnnyu5	If I can find out something definite against him, will you promise to chuck him?"
hvd.hnnyu5	If you take a doctor's advice, you must take it whole, must n't you?
hvd.hnnyu5	Is it merely an appetite for new sensations, or have you really a feeling of hope?
hvd.hnnyu5	Is n't it cold?
hvd.hnnyu5	Is n't it splen- did of her?
hvd.hnnyu5	Is n't she a darling? ”"Oh, Sir Edward knows her, ” Mrs. Cassilis in- terrupted, with a significant smile.
hvd.hnnyu5	Is n't she all there? ” Billy wonderingly asked.
hvd.hnnyu5	Is that it?"
hvd.hnnyu5	It was never given out, my dear, was it?"
hvd.hnnyu5	It's almost impossible to think of any tolerable way of covering them, they're 80 —"“ Amorphous? ”"That would n't matter so much.
hvd.hnnyu5	It's essential that you should approach that with an easily balanced mind. ”"But it's not to- night? ” she cried, in a sort of panic.
hvd.hnnyu5	It's only a sort of dream, and we can learn to dream what we like?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Just for the love of the thing?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Louise, will you and Olga get ready, and join us downstairs in half an hour or so? ” The big woman was also on her feet.
hvd.hnnyu5	May I ask if you trust me still? ” “ You know I do."
hvd.hnnyu5	May I ask why you took to it?
hvd.hnnyu5	May I come then?
hvd.hnnyu5	Melon you think's nicer?
hvd.hnnyu5	Miss Cresswell, those stories were true. ” “ But how can you possibly know?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Naturally I'm a little frightened. ”"Frightened?
hvd.hnnyu5	No liqueur?
hvd.hnnyu5	Not merely a surrender to my disappointment?
hvd.hnnyu5	Of course, a good many of the gang must know it's all rot; Magdalen-"“ You do n't think she's in it? ” “ I'm sure she is.
hvd.hnnyu5	Oh, did n't you?
hvd.hnnyu5	Or Talbot?
hvd.hnnyu5	Or are you going out of London again at once?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Or can you think of any other reason for him being there? ” Shirley shook her head.
hvd.hnnyu5	Or hors d'oeuvre?
hvd.hnnyu5	Or perhaps he did n't want to?
hvd.hnnyu5	Or would you rather have an omelette?
hvd.hnnyu5	Or would you say that a larger number is necessary to keep up the propri- etics? ”"Do n't tease me!"
hvd.hnnyu5	Or, rather, to be put on the path that leads to it? ”.
hvd.hnnyu5	Pan and his satyrs and centaurs had un- usually long ones, had n't they?
hvd.hnnyu5	Particularly as there's no necessity for her to work at all? ” “ What's the matter with her, then?
hvd.hnnyu5	Particularly as there's no necessity for her to work at all? ” “ What's the matter with her, then?
hvd.hnnyu5	Persistence is everything, is n't it? ”"Persistence is something, but not very much.
hvd.hnnyu5	Poor Kate?
hvd.hnnyu5	Shall I dress you now, Miss?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Shall we sit down? ” They took their places side by side on the bench, facing the image.
hvd.hnnyu5	She's very pretty, do n't you think?''
hvd.hnnyu5	Shew me some of your achievements here to- night. ” “ There's Mrs. Cassilis herself. ” THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT 5 “ Really?
hvd.hnnyu5	So I could n't agree with them, could I?
hvd.hnnyu5	So I tried this, never really believing that anything would come of it. ”"I suppose you knew the people who run Del- bruck's, did you?"
hvd.hnnyu5	So you've decided against stagnation?
hvd.hnnyu5	Still, he's a thrilling creature. ”"You mean his ideas are thrilling?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Such subjects are hardly suitable for small talk, are they?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Surely they'd have waited at least a full day before deciding that he did n't mean to come back? ” “ They might n't.

hvd.hnnyu5	That rather looked as if he was as anxious to avoid me as I him, do n't you think?
hvd.hnnyu5	That seems far the most likely explanation, after all, do n't you think so? ” “ Why?"
hvd.hnnyu5	That seems far the most likely explanation, after all, do n't you think so? ” “ Why?"
hvd.hnnyu5	The old"Three Castles'?
hvd.hnnyu5	Then I heard him getting up, and I turned round and ran for my life. ” “ Did he come after you? ” “ No.
hvd.hnnyu5	There's no village, then?
hvd.hnnyu5	They can make you quite a little- y one, all for yourself. ”"Omelette aux rognons?

hvd.hnnyu5	They will be veiled. ”"Veiled? ” repeated Shirley, with a catch of the breath.
hvd.hnnyu5	They're not idols, are they? ” “ And this is a symbol. ” “ Yes, but what of?
hvd.hnnyu5	They're not idols, are they? ” “ And this is a symbol. ” “ Yes, but what of?
hvd.hnnyu5	Was n't it funny?
hvd.hnnyu5	Was n't it sweet of him?
hvd.hnnyu5	We are not running a variety entertainment, you understand. ” “ And that's all you can tell me?"
hvd.hnnyu5	What I should have said was: Why are you inclined to take advice from me?
hvd.hnnyu5	What a noise he made about it, too, did n't he?
hvd.hnnyu5	What are these?
hvd.hnnyu5	What are you thinking of?

hvd.hnnyu5	What do you find creepy? ”"Nothing particular; but the place itself is so lonely; and there's never a sound; and I do n't like these pictures.

hvd.hnnyu5	What does he do it for?
hvd.hnnyu5	What has that to do with your present position? ”"Only that as he's one of you.

hvd.hnnyu5	What's gone wrong with him?"
hvd.hnnyu5	What's he called? ” the girl asked perfunctorily, after an interval during which her faint look of disturbance passed away.
hvd.hnnyu5	What's his game, I wonder?"
hvd.hnnyu5	What's the matter?
hvd.hnnyu5	What's the use of battering at a locked door?
hvd.hnnyu5	What's thrown THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT 199 you into this silly state of fuss?

hvd.hnnyu5	Who is he?
hvd.hnnyu5	Who is she, by the way?
hvd.hnnyu5	Who'd be a sister?
hvd.hnnyu5	Who? ” cried Joyce loudly, her blue eyes leaping into indignant flame.
hvd.hnnyu5	Why does he like people of that kind?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Why does n't everyone leam, if that's so? ” “ Everyone is n't given the chance.
hvd.hnnyu5	Why not?
hvd.hnnyu5	Why should he bother?
hvd.hnnyu5	Why should there be?
hvd.hnnyu5	Why, how's he any more to blame for Mr. Burrell's behaviour than- well, than your father, for instance?
hvd.hnnyu5	Will that suit you, darling?
hvd.hnnyu5	Will you accept advice about its decoration? ” The girl was silent for a few moments.
hvd.hnnyu5	Will you be lieve that he afterwards put it about the town that he had made me a present of it?
hvd.hnnyu5	Will you see if mine suits you better?"
hvd.hnnyu5	Will you try my way?
hvd.hnnyu5	Will you?

hvd.hnnyu5	Would you like me to tell you some of his adventures?
hvd.hnnyu5	You are young- twenty- five?
hvd.hnnyu5	You do n't mind, darling? ” “ Not a bit.
hvd.hnnyu5	You have lost someone else lately, besides your father? ” “ Yes,"she admitted, in a slightly hushed tone.
hvd.hnnyu5	You have n't yet real- ised the quality of your mind, which, if I may say so, is unusually responsive. ”"How can you possibly know?"
hvd.hnnyu5	You live all by yourself?"
hvd.hnnyu5	You said( did n't you?)
hvd.hnnyu5	You understand? ” With the last words, he raised his face and looked at her seriously.
hvd.hnnyu5	You will attend as a spectator; and afterwards you will have an opportunity of being initiated yourself. ” “ But I need n't? ” “ You need n't.
hvd.hnnyu5	You will come?"
hvd.hnnyu5	You wo n't answer?
hvd.hnnyu5	You wo n't change your mind again?
hvd.hnnyu5	You wo n't what? ”.
hvd.hnnyu5	You're certain it's your own wish?

hvd.hnnyu5	You're not in love with that old creature, are you? ”"Not in the slightest degree.

hvd.hnnyu5	“ And she has n't been looking after you properly?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Anyhow, I should think it's rather a dangerous sort of belief- immoral, is n't it?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Are they bores? ” “ Gathorne's awful here.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Are you afraid, like Verdant Green, that you will have to submit to being branded with a red- hot poker?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ As for you, Shirley, ” Sir Edward continued,"perhaps you'd like to have a look at our chapel, would you?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ At once? ”"Oh no!
hvd.hnnyu5	“ But surely,"continued Shirley,"that old man with a beard is n't the best proof of how wise they were, is he?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ But why seven?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Can you tell me why?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Did you really?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Do n't you believe that a man and woman are ever just friends, then? ” Shirley asked, with a note of faint indignation.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Do you know I never knew until to- day that you were engaged to Geoffrey Foulkes?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Do you know?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Do you mean Ed- ward Talbot?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Do you really want my advice?''
hvd.hnnyu5	“ How can I possibly think while you're talking?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ How has he been giving you shocks?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ How old is he?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ I suppose, ” she said slowly, “ it would be too late for me to go home to- night, if —""Tonight? ” he broke in impatiently.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ I thought of that; but then they could n't have gone on with the initiation, or whatever it was, if I had broken legs, could they?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ It's not bad, is it? ” said Joyce.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Ladies?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ May I smoke a cigarette? ” “ Do.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Miss Crassle? ” asked the servant perfunctorily.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Miss Dallas, ” she said, “ I wonder if you'd mind asking Sergeant Carey to get me a taxi?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Mmmm? ” he hummed at last, on a prolonged note of soft interrogation.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ No village, Miss; and no other big house in the immediate neighbourhood. ”"Really?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Nothing's real... is that the idea?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Oh?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Oh?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Shall I order?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Shall we rest here for a little?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ She's aw- fully clever in lots of ways, and jolly nice. ” 26 THE CASE OF SIR EDWARD TALBOT “ Really?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ So you have followers, then? ”"Let's call them associates.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ So you have n't lost your heart to him yet? ”"To Sir Edward?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ So you have n't lost your heart to him yet? ”"To Sir Edward?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Someone's been talking; or why am I suddenly not fit to be treated with ordi- nary civility?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Start for London, by road, at midnight, when there's a bed for you in the house?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Surely she does n't like old men?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Then he's really Roman? ” “ Undoubtedly.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Then there was something...?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Then what did he say?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Then what is true? ” The flying insects hummed and circled about them as Sir Edward smilingly contemplated her confu- sion.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Then what's happened to change your state of mind?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Then you wo n't?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ There's some sort of a ceremony, is n't there? ”"Oh!
hvd.hnnyu5	“ They're old are n't they? ” “ Some of them are very old indeed; older than our friend Silvanus at Overbourne.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Were you in France, then? ”"No.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What am I to do?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What do you expect me to do?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What possible harm can they do? ”"None whatever,"he agreed with perfect amiabil- ity.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What should I do, if I found I did n't want to go on with it? ” “ You will, ” he assured her.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What sort of thing do you like?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What was his college? ” asked Sir Edward casu- ally.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What was that?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ What?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ When did that happen? ” “ Only yesterday.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Where are you off to? ”"I was just going out to get something to eat. ” “ Alone?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Where are you off to? ”"I was just going out to get something to eat. ” “ Alone?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Who is he?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Who is to lay down a standard of conduct for a god?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Why am I talking to you? ”"I ca n't imagine. ” “ That's insincere.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Why?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Why? ” asked Burrell, with an unwinking stare.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Why?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Will you come to tea, some Saturday or Sun- day, about half past four?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Will you take me as an assistant?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Without saying anything? ” “ Not a word.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Would that have mattered?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Would you like to have a look- round, Shir- ley? ” “ Yes, do, dear, ” Mrs. Cassilis said,"and tell us if you approve of it.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Yes, Miss. ” “ Close? ” she added swiftly, as he turned away.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Yes, Of course, one feels that... well, every- body's going to meet again some day, are n't they?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Yes... but if I did n't? ” Sir Edward shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ Yes?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You do n't like your friends to talk about this be lief of yours?"
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You had n't seen him before? ” he asked.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You know who I am?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You were n't at Oxford, I suppose? ” “ Why not?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You were n't at Oxford, I suppose? ” “ Why not?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You wo n't mind, will you?
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You're great friends with him, are n't you? ” en- quired Shirley, beginning to eat her omelette.
hvd.hnnyu5	“ You're not?
inu.32000006472429	A little sensation would do you a lot of good. ” “ And you? ” I asked.
inu.32000006472429	Able to do my day's work like an honest man. ” “ And what brings you here? ” “ A little job I'm on.
inu.32000006472429	And he has spoken of me to you? ” “ Yes, ” I said, lying stoutly.
inu.32000006472429	Andrew Lumley? ” I asked with a Start.
inu.32000006472429	Are you going to go back on the man who has been a good friend to you? ” He shifted from one foot to another with his eyes on the ceiling.
inu.32000006472429	Are you there? ” There could be no mistaking that broad Yorkshire tongue.
inu.32000006472429	But does it?
inu.32000006472429	By the way, what is it? ” I looked at my watch again.
inu.32000006472429	Do n't you wish you were coming with me? ” The queer thing was that I did.
inu.32000006472429	Do you hear? ” “ That's all right, ” said Chapman.
inu.32000006472429	Do you know what it is to deal with a pure intelligence, a brain stripped of every shred of humanity?
inu.32000006472429	Have you ever reflected on the case of China?
inu.32000006472429	He has been more prosperous, and has lived a healthier life, you see. ” “ Do you happen to know, ” I asked, “ if he ever uses another name?
inu.32000006472429	How can we square these policemen?
inu.32000006472429	I'm off to- morrow to run him to ground. ” “ But why should n't a man go to Moscow if he wants? ” I said feebly.
inu.32000006472429	Is he like you in any way? ” “ We have a strong family resemblance, but he is taller and slimmer.
inu.32000006472429	Money? ” “ Rich as Croesus, ” said Tommy.
inu.32000006472429	Monsieur will forgive me?
inu.32000006472429	Of a sort?
inu.32000006472429	Or with Tuke?
inu.32000006472429	Suppose these two fellows at Bokhara, want- ing to make a long trek into wild country — how would they go?
inu.32000006472429	Then he quoted 74 THE POWER- HOUSE you?
inu.32000006472429	Was there ever such a moth- eaten old museum? ” “ It is the Mother of Parliaments, ” I ob- served.
inu.32000006472429	What possessed you to come to look for me? ” The explanation was simple.
inu.32000006472429	What possible trouble could there be?
inu.32000006472429	Where is the inducement for a man of genius to sell his brains to our insipid governors?
inu.32000006472429	Will you take me at once to Monsieur Felix? ” Hewins bowed, and on his imperturbable face there appeared no sign of surprise.
inu.32000006472429	Would it be possible for the master of the house to assist me to get to my destination near Farnham?
inu.32000006472429	You are a connoisseur?
inu.32000006472429	“ A woman? ” “ Blind as a bat to female beauty. ” 22 THE POWER- HOUSE Fountain Court lit up the dust and squalor of my working chambers.
inu.32000006472429	“ But he has a house at Blackheath which is stuffed from cellar to garret. ” “ What is the name of it? ” I asked with a sudden suspicion.
inu.32000006472429	“ But if those extra- social brains are so potent, why after all do they effect so little?
inu.32000006472429	“ But where do you propose to take me? ” “ Dunno.
inu.32000006472429	“ Do we really get the best brains working on the side of the compact?
inu.32000006472429	“ Have you been dining here?
inu.32000006472429	“ If you believe me to be, as you say, a dangerous criminal, how do you reconcile it with your conscience to give me a chance of escape?
inu.32000006472429	“ What's the good of waiting for these devils to down you?
inu.32000006472429	“ Who done it? ” “ The men who shut me in this room.
inu.32000006472429	“ Will you have a glass of champagne? ” A year before, on the South Eastern Circuit, I had appeared for the defence in a burglary case.
inu.32000006472429	“ You were saying —? ” “ I said — supposing anarchy learned from civilisation and became international.

hvd.32044010711786	And did anyone else call me up?
hvd.32044010711786	And if the Princess Nai'a had no suspicions, how could I harbour any — or how could you?
hvd.32044010711786	And leave the rest to the captain of the Volhynia?
hvd.32044010711786	And lose a month off? hvd.32044010711786 And that requires imagination, does n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	And the Fatherland which placed me here on out- post?
hvd.32044010711786	And the man Venem who has followed thee so long?
hvd.32044010711786	And then what happened? hvd.32044010711786 And then what?"
hvd.32044010711786	And throw Stein down?
hvd.32044010711786	And was the chest that Herr Wilner pulled up the very same chest that is here on the floor beside me?
hvd.32044010711786	And what of Herr Max Venem, who has asked of me thy little hand in marriage?
hvd.32044010711786	And what then?
hvd.32044010711786	And when the new car comes?
hvd.32044010711786	And will you ever forget that magnificent winter night when we drove to Brookhollow after the party?
hvd.32044010711786	And you never believed it to be your duty to send the papers to the German Government?
hvd.32044010711786	And you're on the level?
hvd.32044010711786	And you're sure they are safe?
hvd.32044010711786	And — busy?
hvd.32044010711786	Anything in it for you, Eddie?
hvd.32044010711786	Are n't you coming down to buzz the preacher?

hvd.32044010711786	Are you an agent for any government?
hvd.32044010711786	Are you crazy to study?

hvd.32044010711786	Are you really tired?
hvd.32044010711786	Are you sure?
hvd.32044010711786	At the League?
hvd.32044010711786	Because I once missed you?
hvd.32044010711786	Becuz a lot of squealers done a amateur job like that, does it say that a honest job ca n't be pulled?
hvd.32044010711786	Been waiting long?

hvd.32044010711786	Brandes? hvd.32044010711786 British?"
hvd.32044010711786	But may I sit down for a moment?
hvd.32044010711786	But was n't it a bit risky, considering the little girl yonder?
hvd.32044010711786	But where am I to go in America? hvd.32044010711786 But you dance very well, do n't you?"
hvd.32044010711786	But you?
hvd.32044010711786	But,he asked, still immensely amused,"why do you want to travel about with three thousand dollars in bills in your suitcase?"
hvd.32044010711786	By the way,he added,"is your trunk on board the Lusitama?"
hvd.32044010711786	Ca n't you be polite?

hvd.32044010711786	Clips?
hvd.32044010711786	Confound it,he thought to himself,"am I to squat here in ambush for the rest of the trip?"
hvd.32044010711786	Could I choose the business of drawing pictures? hvd.32044010711786 Could I have given him enough to kill him?"
hvd.32044010711786	Could I take you anywhere? hvd.32044010711786 Could I talk to mother on the telephone when we get to New York?"
hvd.32044010711786	Could n't a man — a girl — support herself by draw- 43 r THE DARK STAR ing pictures for magazines?

hvd.32044010711786	Did n't you pull a pop on Maxy Venem the night him and Hyman Adams and Minna beat you up in front of the Knickerbocker?

hvd.32044010711786	I surprised you by interrupting you in Brookhol- low?
hvd.32044010711786	I wanted to ask you,she said in a low voice,"did you kill them?"
hvd.32044010711786	I? hvd.32044010711786 I?"
hvd.32044010711786	If that is so,she said,"what interests you in the papers you took from me?"
hvd.32044010711786	If you got to bring her here to the races, ca n't you get her some clothes?
hvd.32044010711786	If you live around here, can you let us come into your house till it's over, gir — er — miss?
hvd.32044010711786	Is it a talk- fest, then?
hvd.32044010711786	Is it for that he hears so willingly thy voice?
hvd.32044010711786	Is it necessary,replied the missionary faintly,"to light a candle in order to show a man the midday sun?"

hvd.32044010711786	Is it very bad?
hvd.32044010711786	Is it very hard?
hvd.32044010711786	Is n't the train good enough?
hvd.32044010711786	Is she very beautiful?
hvd.32044010711786	Is that final?
hvd.32044010711786	Is that so?
hvd.32044010711786	Is that what you are? hvd.32044010711786 Is there a telephone in any of them houses, miss?
hvd.32044010711786	Is there any evidence that Adoniram has no soul?
hvd.32044010711786	Is there any that he has a soul?
hvd.32044010711786	Is your suitcase locked?
hvd.32044010711786	It ccun't be anything — queer, can it, dear?
hvd.32044010711786	It is n't yours, is it?
hvd.32044010711786	It was a clear case of treachery?
hvd.32044010711786	It's amusing, is n't it? hvd.32044010711786 Karl, haf you ship's time?"

hvd.32044010711786	May I have the lamp and that looking glass?

hvd.32044010711786	Mother?
hvd.32044010711786	Mr.'Awks, sir, did you ring?
hvd.32044010711786	Musseer,he added suavely to Neeland, who looked up with a polite smile,"parly voo Anglay?"
hvd.32044010711786	Must I wait till I'm twenty- five before I can have my money?
hvd.32044010711786	Nai'a, the next time you want it, send an escort of artillery and two battleships.1"Did you have trouble?
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland?
hvd.32044010711786	No accident?
hvd.32044010711786	No?
hvd.32044010711786	Not a heathen god, then?
hvd.32044010711786	Not a word?
hvd.32044010711786	Now you do n't know whether I've told you the truth or not; do you?
hvd.32044010711786	Now, how could I look him up when you gave me only a day to get him for you?
hvd.32044010711786	Oh, no friends, eh? hvd.32044010711786 Pardon, monsieur?"
hvd.32044010711786	Pistols?
hvd.32044010711786	Say, Ben,he said,"would you believe it if I told you I'm stuck on her?"
hvd.32044010711786	Say, Eddie,he began,"ca n't no one learn you nothin'at all?
hvd.32044010711786	Say, friend,said an East Side voice at his elbow,"does smoking go?"
hvd.32044010711786	Say, girlie,he began, the cigar still tightly screwed into his cheek,"is there a juice mill anywhere near us, d'y'know?"
hvd.32044010711786	Scheherazade,he continued with smiling malice,"do you realise that you are both ornamental and young?
hvd.32044010711786	Scheherazade,he said,"did you suppose me to he a coward?"
hvd.32044010711786	Scheherazade,he said,"is n't it funny?
hvd.32044010711786	Scheherazade,he said,"you'll be a good little girl, now, wo n't you?
hvd.32044010711786	See their lights? hvd.32044010711786 Serious trouble?"
hvd.32044010711786	Serious? hvd.32044010711786 Shall I inquire, sir?"
hvd.32044010711786	Shall I talk to you, Scheherazade, or let you snug- gle into the chaste arms of Morpheus?
hvd.32044010711786	Shall I — call good- bye to her?
hvd.32044010711786	Shall we turn around and go back?
hvd.32044010711786	Since we sailed, have you noticed the bulletins posted contain- ing our wireless news?
hvd.32044010711786	Smoke,repeated Stull,"when this here Frenchman may make a holler?"
hvd.32044010711786	So you can talk phony to the little kid? hvd.32044010711786 Spies?
hvd.32044010711786	Stir up Minna?
hvd.32044010711786	Suppose the humiliation is too severe for Servia to endure? hvd.32044010711786 Tell me — what is it?"
hvd.32044010711786	Tell you?
hvd.32044010711786	That little red- headed, spindling, freckled, milk- fed mill- hand"Funny, ai n't it? hvd.32044010711786 The Turkish Embassy?"
hvd.32044010711786	The car- wheels?
hvd.32044010711786	The other two whose countenances I desired to slap? hvd.32044010711786 Then how did those people who offered no prayers go to Heaven?"
hvd.32044010711786	Then is it — is it?
hvd.32044010711786	Then we'll make it a family party,he said,"your father and mother and you, shall we?
hvd.32044010711786	Then why should anybody not believe it?
hvd.32044010711786	Then you and your friends are not yet finished with me?
hvd.32044010711786	Then you do not think that you require any protec- tion from me?
hvd.32044010711786	Then, of what interest are Turkish forts to any of the various allied nations — to the Triple Entente or the Triple Alliance?
hvd.32044010711786	They may become teachers, learn stenography and typewriting; they can, of course, become dressmakers; they can nurse"Mother P'Yes?"
hvd.32044010711786	They may learn to keep accounts, help in shops-If father could afford it, could n't I learn to do 22 BROOKHOLLOW something more interesting?
hvd.32044010711786	This is a beautiful country, is n't it, Miss Carew?
hvd.32044010711786	This is the Gayfield road, is n't it?
hvd.32044010711786	Thou dost not love him?
hvd.32044010711786	Thy sacred promise?
hvd.32044010711786	To buy things?
hvd.32044010711786	To look at him or at me?
hvd.32044010711786	To steal these papers for the Turkish Embassy?
hvd.32044010711786	To whom?
hvd.32044010711786	To—'us'?
hvd.32044010711786	Trouble? hvd.32044010711786 Turkish fortifications?"
hvd.32044010711786	Under the Dark Star, Erlik,repeated the other girl, looking closely into the two palms,"and there is war there?'
hvd.32044010711786	Understand, Ben?
hvd.32044010711786	Use, who is the short and broadly constructed American who comes now already every day to see thee and to hear thee sing?
hvd.32044010711786	Very well,he said bluntly;"how do you happen to know so much about me?"
hvd.32044010711786	W- wads?
hvd.32044010711786	Was ever a man in such a hellish position, except in melodrama? hvd.32044010711786 Was he a martyr?"
hvd.32044010711786	Was he arrested?
hvd.32044010711786	Well, for example, is my country really mobilis- ing?
hvd.32044010711786	Well, it was when I was a missionary in the Trebizond district, and your mother and I went"And me, daddy? hvd.32044010711786 Well, little girl,"he said with forced cheerfulness,"was I away very long?"

hvd.32044010711786	You are going to take your money to Paris?
hvd.32044010711786	You claim that you have n't married this girl?
hvd.32044010711786	You did n't miss me?
hvd.32044010711786	You do n't expect trouble, do you? hvd.32044010711786 You do n't have to ask me that, do you?"

hvd.32044010711786	You mean now? hvd.32044010711786 You mean we're spies?"
hvd.32044010711786	You mean you have it in your suitcase?

hvd.32044010711786	You want me to escape?
hvd.32044010711786	You want to take a chance like that?
hvd.32044010711786	You will wait, then?
hvd.32044010711786	You wished to reserve me for more pistol practice?
hvd.32044010711786	You'll marry this girl before I've divorced you, will you? hvd.32044010711786 You'll wait here for me, wo n't you?"

hvd.32044010711786	You're in when you handle it?
hvd.32044010711786	You've got the backbone to see it through?
hvd.32044010711786	— she laid one hand lightly on his arm—Why should you involve yourself — you, an American?
hvd.32044010711786	*'There is no need for wanton killing like this, when we can""Killing?"
hvd.32044010711786	-\ 42 THE TRODBEN WAY"Do you care for that sort of thing — drawing, paint- ing, I mean?"
hvd.32044010711786	123 THE DARK STAR"Ruhannah,"he said,"are you calm enough to let me tell you what I think about this matter?"
hvd.32044010711786	148 LETTERS FROM A LITTLE GIRL"A certain Herr Conrad Wilner, was it not?"
hvd.32044010711786	172 THE LOCKED HOUSE"May I have a match for my cigarette?"
hvd.32044010711786	196 A WHITE SKIRT"American?"
hvd.32044010711786	211 THE DARK STAR"Scheherazade,"he said lightly,"what on earth am I going to do with you?"
hvd.32044010711786	219"% X THE DARK STAR"You believe Germany would count on her?"
hvd.32044010711786	247 TWO THIRTEEN seated on the bed and staring at her with eyes that fairly started from their sockets:"Mr. Neeland, ca n't you move?
hvd.32044010711786	271 THE DARK STAR'Yes, but-"Where's the holler?"
hvd.32044010711786	273 THE DARK STAR"Show you what?"
hvd.32044010711786	31 THE BARK STAR"Is n't prayer really necessary?"
hvd.32044010711786	323 THE DARK STAR"Why, Jim?"
hvd.32044010711786	35'THE DARK STAR"Can you read what is written there?"
hvd.32044010711786	44 THE TRODDEN WAY"A — a princess?"
hvd.32044010711786	73 THE BARK STAR"What's the idea, Eddie?"
hvd.32044010711786	88 NONRESISTANCE"How did you get him?"
hvd.32044010711786	93- THE DARK STAR Why on earth did he want to take such a chance?
hvd.32044010711786	A certain slippery party""Who, damn it?
hvd.32044010711786	A trifle shaken, he said in tones which sounded steady enough:"What frightens you so, Scheherazade?"
hvd.32044010711786	After Brandes had tied his polka- dotted tie care- fully before the blurred mirror:"What do you mean by that?"
hvd.32044010711786	After a silence Stull repeated:"Get me, Eddie?"
hvd.32044010711786	All I hope is he did n't see you with the Brookhollow party""Do you think he did?"
hvd.32044010711786	All the same — do you really want to go to France and study art?
hvd.32044010711786	Am I to receive the hospitality of your limousine also, dear lady?
hvd.32044010711786	And God loves martyrs, does n't He?"
hvd.32044010711786	And do n't you sometimes wonder what has become of her?
hvd.32044010711786	And do n't you suppose he knows damn well that you're back of whatever I do?
hvd.32044010711786	And do you know who plays the fine Italian hand for that bunch of Turks?"
hvd.32044010711786	And let me know how you're getting on, wo n't you?"
hvd.32044010711786	And listen: there ’s nothing like her in all God ’s world! ” “ When did you do — it? ” demanded Stull, coldly.
hvd.32044010711786	And old Papa Kaiser and the Gown Prince Footit — what do they say to that?"
hvd.32044010711786	And then, instantly and automatically, what will follow in France?"
hvd.32044010711786	And then?"
hvd.32044010711786	And to Neeland:"Pardong, nmsseer, permitty vous moi de fumy wng cigar?"
hvd.32044010711786	And to Rue, curiously sympathetic:"Say, you've got friends here, have n't you, little one?"
hvd.32044010711786	And what the hell do they hand us over here if we're pinched?"
hvd.32044010711786	And where is the olive- wood box?"
hvd.32044010711786	And who but little Stull should know how unreliable?
hvd.32044010711786	And who might it be?
hvd.32044010711786	And you know what they'll do to you, do n't you?
hvd.32044010711786	And you suppose me to be one, too?
hvd.32044010711786	And, by the way, what's that invalid gentleman's name?"
hvd.32044010711786	And, if Russia does that, what is going to happen in Germany?
hvd.32044010711786	And, to Neeland:"Where is Alak?"
hvd.32044010711786	Anything you do n't fancy about him?"
hvd.32044010711786	Are you absolutely mad?"
hvd.32044010711786	Are you afraid?"
hvd.32044010711786	Are you going to lay that charge against me?"
hvd.32044010711786	Are you really going abroad?"
hvd.32044010711786	Are you sure you have enough money to go where destiny and booty call you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Are you waiting for somebody?
hvd.32044010711786	As he passed out the door Neeland said:"Are you in trouble, Marotte?"
hvd.32044010711786	Blackmail?
hvd.32044010711786	Blime d'you think I'll stand'ere jawin'any longer?"
hvd.32044010711786	Both of them?"
hvd.32044010711786	But I forgot to bring one thing;""What?"
hvd.32044010711786	But Rue Carew, seated on the arm of her chair, slowly shook her head:"I do n't think that those are the only alternatives; do you?"
hvd.32044010711786	But of what interest to England or France or Russia""If there is to be war, ca n't you understand the im- portance to us of those plans?"
hvd.32044010711786	But there's no telling what will catch the tired business man, is there, Ben?"
hvd.32044010711786	But to reflect what might be or what ought to be re- quires something more, does n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	But to what purpose now, mon ami?
hvd.32044010711786	But what are you going to say to your pa- rents when you write?
hvd.32044010711786	But what has Turkey""What is Turkey?"
hvd.32044010711786	But where is that imbecile groom of mine?"
hvd.32044010711786	But — have you, in America, any idea what the consequences of that murder may lead to?
hvd.32044010711786	But — will you do it for me?
hvd.32044010711786	By the way, Rue, whom did you marry?"
hvd.32044010711786	By whom are you employed, if you're not a plain thief?"
hvd.32044010711786	C'est fini — c'est Fiji — Nmi — comprenez- vous, Prince Erlik?"
hvd.32044010711786	Can I be of any service to you, Princess Naia?"
hvd.32044010711786	Come on, now; was n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	Could n't I be useful to you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Could n't I earn enough money to live on and to take care of you and father?"
hvd.32044010711786	Could you tell me how you think the news ought to be broken to her and father?
hvd.32044010711786	Did I keep my word?
hvd.32044010711786	Did n't I circulate the news that you and me had quit partnership?
hvd.32044010711786	Did n't I?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did n't you know any of these facts?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did the girl really expect an opportunity to steal the box?
hvd.32044010711786	Did they kill him dead?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did we, Ben?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you ever drink German champagne?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you ever suppose that I still could remain such a very little girl?
hvd.32044010711786	Did you inquire what she looked like?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you know him?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you look him up?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you not understand?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you think we sell to Russians?"
hvd.32044010711786	Did you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't I get it all day?
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't I tell you as how a lydy tele- phones me just now that my young gentleman is in there?
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't call him; do you hear?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't draw in study hour any more, will you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you know a bridge when you see one?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you know it?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you know that?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you sometimes think of the girl who came creeping up- stairs, half dead, to your studio door?
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you suppose that Max is wise to what I've been doing here?
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you think it promises to be romantic?
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you think so?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you, mother dear?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do n't you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you happen to know just what was saved, mademoiselle?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you hear?
hvd.32044010711786	Do you hear?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you know where it is?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you know who I am?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you know who is handling the big stuff in this deal?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you live here?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you mean to sell him out?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you mean you've got them, too?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you play?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you promise?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you really mean to add yourself to this charming gift?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you really mean to sail on this ship?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you suppose I believe that you know how to shoot?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you suppose I mean to leave you in rags with your cat on the pavement here?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you suppose it has anything to do with spies and diplomacy and kings and thrones, and terrible military secrets?
hvd.32044010711786	Do you think you could catch a few fish for supper?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you under- stand?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you understand what I mean?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you want a part in it?
hvd.32044010711786	Do you want to double- cross Quint?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you?
hvd.32044010711786	Do you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Do you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Does he, do you think?"
hvd.32044010711786	Does that suit you, Ru- hannah?"
hvd.32044010711786	Does that suit you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Father?"
hvd.32044010711786	Finally, shaking off the premonition of coming trou- ble, Brandes called again:"Ben?"
hvd.32044010711786	Flag me?"
hvd.32044010711786	For a while she remained silent, then she looked at him curiously:"Were you armed?"
hvd.32044010711786	For how could three industrious conspirators in a fishing smack off the Lizard do him any further damage?
hvd.32044010711786	For not shooting me?"
hvd.32044010711786	Get me?"
hvd.32044010711786	Get me?"
hvd.32044010711786	Get me?"
hvd.32044010711786	Get that?
hvd.32044010711786	Get that?"
hvd.32044010711786	Go out and get that combi- nation?
hvd.32044010711786	Graft?
hvd.32044010711786	Had somebody broken in for that purpose?
hvd.32044010711786	Had you forgotten him?"
hvd.32044010711786	Has he any friends or relatives on board?"
hvd.32044010711786	Has she ever before visited Herr — I mean Mr.—Hawks in his stateroom?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have an easy passage?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have you any notion, Jim?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have you any other news except that you killed that Albany bunch of grafters?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have you come here to study art?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have you even found out that?
hvd.32044010711786	Have you plenty of gasoline?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have you really forgotten me?
hvd.32044010711786	Have you sufficient cash to take you where you desire to waft your- self?"
hvd.32044010711786	Have you the check for it?"
hvd.32044010711786	He rose, stood by the window looking out, then turned to her:"What can/ tell you?"
hvd.32044010711786	He smoked for a few moments, then:"What the devil does it mean, any- way?
hvd.32044010711786	He turned to his prisoner:"Is everything here?"
hvd.32044010711786	Her mother asked:"What for?"
hvd.32044010711786	How are you feeling, Eddie?"
hvd.32044010711786	How are you, Jim?
hvd.32044010711786	How did you hear of him, Colonel Izzet?"
hvd.32044010711786	How long can you stay here, Jim?"
hvd.32044010711786	How many times would you have been better off if you'd listened to me?
hvd.32044010711786	How shall this man know?"
hvd.32044010711786	How's things?"
hvd.32044010711786	However, as an afterthought, who is he?"
hvd.32044010711786	Hungry?"
hvd.32044010711786	I am Russian, am I not?"
hvd.32044010711786	I am old enough to say it safely, am I not?"
hvd.32044010711786	I ask you, did you ever hear of a would- be murderess and her escaped victim being on such cordial terms?
hvd.32044010711786	I deserve it; I need it; but Oh!—don't be too severe""Are you serious?"
hvd.32044010711786	I do n't remember — was he from up- state?"
hvd.32044010711786	I forbid you to enter forcibly""Have n't I knocked?
hvd.32044010711786	I got a cable from Quint this morning saying our place in Paris is ready, and we're to be there and open up tonight""What place?"
hvd.32044010711786	I have enough money to go there and study, have n't I?"
hvd.32044010711786	I mean a gen- eral European free- for- all fight?"
hvd.32044010711786	I shall see you before I go?"
hvd.32044010711786	I think she's waiting""Who?"
hvd.32044010711786	I was go- ing to call you soon as I waked up''"What's the trouble?"
hvd.32044010711786	I — I did n't think I was quite ready to earn my own living"— looking anxiously at the Princess Nai'a—"do you think so, dear?"
hvd.32044010711786	I — I'll give you what you want""Do you mean it?"
hvd.32044010711786	I ’ll be back in time. ” “ Will you cable me? ” “ Sure.
hvd.32044010711786	I'll help you with that tea; shall I?
hvd.32044010711786	I'll meet you there""When?"
hvd.32044010711786	If Quint had n't staked us to this here new game we're playin', where'd we be, I ask you?
hvd.32044010711786	If not, why had he taken this journey for her with this box of papers?
hvd.32044010711786	If you're on the level, as you say you are, you've got to mark time for a good long while yet""Why?"
hvd.32044010711786	In the still noon — What did you hear there?
hvd.32044010711786	In the still noon — What did you see there?
hvd.32044010711786	Is Mademoiselle Carew having tea?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is he to live again?
hvd.32044010711786	Is he to see once more those whom he loved the best?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is it a bargain?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is it that little skirt you was buzzing out here like you never seen one before?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is it this one here on the floor?
hvd.32044010711786	Is it worse than charging you with three separate attempts to murder me?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is it you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is n't it artistic?
hvd.32044010711786	Is n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is n't that enough?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is that a bargain?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is that right?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is that where poor Herr Wilner died?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is that your house?"
hvd.32044010711786	Is there anything else he could do?"
hvd.32044010711786	It's an amusing story, is n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	It's easy money, is n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	It's nearly noon""Well, was n't I singing hymns with Doc and Cap till breakfast time?
hvd.32044010711786	Lost at high noon — Where is your soul then?
hvd.32044010711786	Many broods this season?"
hvd.32044010711786	May I have a cigarette, Princess Naia?"
hvd.32044010711786	May I?"
hvd.32044010711786	Me try to make Maxy Venem talk?
hvd.32044010711786	Me?
hvd.32044010711786	Mohawk County?
hvd.32044010711786	Must I beg of you?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland shouted with laughter:"Who were the other monsters?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland slowly opened his eyes, smiled up at the motionless nurse:"How are you, Scheherazade?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland, reassured, nodded:"No other news, Marotte?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland?"
hvd.32044010711786	Neeland?"
hvd.32044010711786	Never heard of it; did you, Lil?"
hvd.32044010711786	Nice, is n't it?"
hvd.32044010711786	No ladies who wear white serge skirts and white shoes and stockings?"
hvd.32044010711786	No?
hvd.32044010711786	Now that you got a little money again and a little backing, do n't do any- thing like that""Like what?"
hvd.32044010711786	Now, Mr. Neeland, what do you know about this business?"
hvd.32044010711786	Now, how does one hundred and fifty thousand dollars against five thousand apiece strike you two poor, cheap guys?"
hvd.32044010711786	Now, then, once more, who are you working for?
hvd.32044010711786	Now, who comes next in the scale?"
hvd.32044010711786	Now, why did you break into that house?"
hvd.32044010711786	Now, why the devil should your people keep tabs on me to that extent?"
hvd.32044010711786	Of what advantage would it be to blow up the captain's cabin and the bridge when it is not certain that the papers will be destroyed?"
hvd.32044010711786	Oh, do n't you think that even now I could support myself by making pictures for magazines?
hvd.32044010711786	Oh, your strenuous friends with the footpad technique?
hvd.32044010711786	On this ship?"
hvd.32044010711786	Only I like to know about a man""How can I find out if you do n't give me time?"
hvd.32044010711786	Or was she keeping a sinister eye on him with a view to summoning accomplices from vasty metropolitan deeps as soon as the train arrived?
hvd.32044010711786	Or, having failed at Brookhollow, was she merely going back to town to report"progress backward"?
hvd.32044010711786	Otherwise, what are you doing on the Lusitania at this very ghastly hour in the morn- ing?"
hvd.32044010711786	Ought BY RADIO not a man to be grateful to any philanthropic girl who so gratuitously obliges him?"
hvd.32044010711786	Out of a shy, ragged, bare- legged child, haunting the wild blackberry tangles in Brook- hollow?
hvd.32044010711786	Out of the fragile figure buried in the bedclothes of a stateroom berth, holding out to him a thin, bare arm in voiceless adieu?
hvd.32044010711786	Out of what, in heaven's name, had this lovely girl developed?
hvd.32044010711786	Picking it up and unfolding it, he read: May I see you this evening at eleven?
hvd.32044010711786	Please help her, James''"You — offer me your limousine?"
hvd.32044010711786	Presently he continued his reading:"I asked Alaro the angel:'Which place is this, and which people are these?'

hvd.32044010711786	Rue flushed:"What am I to say?"
hvd.32044010711786	Rue smiled her answer; the Princess scrutinised him keenly:"Did you have trouble, Jim?"
hvd.32044010711786	Rue, do you see him anywhere?"
hvd.32044010711786	Ruhannah considered what her father had read, then:"Father?"
hvd.32044010711786	S22 TOGETHER"What other is there?"
hvd.32044010711786	SCHEHERAZADE"Who?
hvd.32044010711786	See?"
hvd.32044010711786	See?"
hvd.32044010711786	Sengoun, delighted, recognised his cue and protested 354 THE BARK STAR club where everything is unquestionably con- ducted""Where?"
hvd.32044010711786	Shall I include you?
hvd.32044010711786	Shall I?"
hvd.32044010711786	Shall we — my dear child?"
hvd.32044010711786	She made an effort:"Is it your house?"
hvd.32044010711786	She turned her child's eyes on him in faint surprise:"A wife loves her husband always, does n't she?"
hvd.32044010711786	So do you wonder that I came home with Suzanne, walking on air, and that as soon as dejeuner was finished I flew in here to write to you about it?
hvd.32044010711786	So where's the squeal coming?"
hvd.32044010711786	So you found him, Rue?
hvd.32044010711786	Some killing, eh?
hvd.32044010711786	Some race, eh?"
hvd.32044010711786	Step into the street and whistle?"
hvd.32044010711786	Still, do n't you sometimes remember the girl you drove home with in a sleigh one winter night, ages ago?
hvd.32044010711786	Stull's face grew sourer:"Ca n't you wait till she gets her decree?"

hvd.32044010711786	Tell me, how are you, dear lady?"
hvd.32044010711786	Tell me,"he added,"what have you been doing to amuse yourself?"
hvd.32044010711786	That is indeed seri- ous news?
hvd.32044010711786	That means my choice of tabourets on Monday morning, voyez vous?
hvd.32044010711786	That snake?
hvd.32044010711786	The Koran also says:"In the name of God the Com- passionate, the Merciful: What thinkest thou of him who treateth our religion as a lie?"
hvd.32044010711786	The girl shrugged again:"Is your memory so poor, M'sieu Nilan?
hvd.32044010711786	The girl turned on him in a passion:"Do you suppose I care what happens to you?"
hvd.32044010711786	The next morning he called up Stull on the telephone from the drug store in Gayfield:"Get my wire, Ben?"
hvd.32044010711786	The pretended official at thH'291 RUE SOLEIL DOR"Did she cause you any trouble, Jim?"
hvd.32044010711786	Then she raised her eyes to his, and a bright flush stained her face: 125 THE DARK STAR"Why should I not go to Paris by myself?"
hvd.32044010711786	Then there came still another letter from her: 144 LETTERS FROM A LITTLE GIRL Why do n't you write me just one line?
hvd.32044010711786	Then, to the Princess:"I am late?
hvd.32044010711786	There is no such evidence, is there, father?"
hvd.32044010711786	They remained silent for a moment, then the captain continued:"Why should we deceive ourselves?

hvd.32044010711786	Was it to have been murder this time, too, Scheherazade?
hvd.32044010711786	Was it, possibly, a neighbour who had taken charge in return for a gar- den to cultivate and a place to sleep in?
hvd.32044010711786	Was the Princess Mistchenka, patron and amateur of the arts, another such agent?
hvd.32044010711786	Was this what was being done now?

hvd.hn3gsf	And in what condition was your master when he returned this morning? ” “ About as usual.
hvd.hn3gsf	And now, Mr. Gaunt may I return to my sister?

hvd.hn3gsf	But all this is irrelevant, is n't it? ”"No; go on, please.
hvd.hn3gsf	But how about the day before, Mr. Gaunt?
hvd.hn3gsf	But my mother and I are staying there only tem- porarily, while our own house is being done over. ” “ That is all except the servants?

hvd.hn3gsf	But tell me, Mrs. Horner, you say the Smith's put improvements in the house? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	But tell me, please: The first idea you had of the murder was when you were awakened by the screams of the maid who discovered the body? ” “ Yes.

hvd.hn3gsf	By some strange stroke of fate, could it be from his hand that the bullet had sped to the heart of Garret Appleton?
hvd.hn3gsf	By the way, Mr. Wetmore, why do n't you have that office clock of yours fixed? ”"Clock!
hvd.hn3gsf	By the way, did you know either of the two re- maining partners? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	By the way, would you LIES 57, mind telling me what color hair this is?
hvd.hn3gsf	Can you come in the afternoon? ” Tomorrow!
hvd.hn3gsf	Could this visit of the Inspector mean a return to the activities that had made his master famous on two continents?
hvd.hn3gsf	Did anyone hear the shot fired? ”"No.
hvd.hn3gsf	Did it occur to you to find out how Garret Appleton spent the last day of his life? ” The detective concealed his chagrin with an effort.
hvd.hn3gsf	Did n't he pay that couple in Jersey to get out of the way, and get out quick?
hvd.hn3gsf	Did she seem depressed, or unhappy? ” The sudden change of topic had the desired effect.
hvd.hn3gsf	Did you hear the words she said to him? ”"Yes, m'sieu.
hvd.hn3gsf	Did you wait up for him? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	Do I make myself clear? ”"Perfectly."
hvd.hn3gsf	Do n't the facts bear me out so far?
hvd.hn3gsf	Do n't you remember?
hvd.hn3gsf	Do n't you understand, Mr. Gaunt?
hvd.hn3gsf	Do you know what I heard?
hvd.hn3gsf	Do you know what time it was? ” “ Why, of- of course!
hvd.hn3gsf	Do you re- member what you said? ” “ H- m! ” the elderly lady hesitated.
hvd.hn3gsf	Do you remember them? ” “ Yes, sir; quite well, sir."
hvd.hn3gsf	Do you think that I might venture to see Mrs. Apple- ton, your sister, now, for just a few moments? ”"I will see.
hvd.hn3gsf	Does Mr. Appleton permit you to smoke in his rooms? ”"Why — why, no, sir, of course not!
hvd.hn3gsf	Does the Inspector gentle- man know what — what happened to Mr. Apple- ton? ”"Not yet, ” he returned.
hvd.hn3gsf	Dragged one foot behind him- hurt in a runaway accident, I believe. ” “ What was his full name?
hvd.hn3gsf	Er- you heard nothing during the night? ” “ Nosing, m'sieu.
hvd.hn3gsf	Family parties always bore me. ” “ Where did you go? ” “ To the club first- the Patriarch's, for awhile.
hvd.hn3gsf	Find out for me the hour Mr. Yates Appleton left the Patriarchs'Club last night. ” “ What's that? ” the Inspector asked, in eager surprise.
hvd.hn3gsf	For about fifteen years? ” The younger man laughed pleasantly.
hvd.hn3gsf	For the Clintons, on Washington Square. ”"And then for whom? ” There was no answer, and the old man's feet shuffled uneasily on the porch.
hvd.hn3gsf	Force,"Gaint leaned forward, in his turn, “ are you a member of the Patriarchs'Club? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Force?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Funny thing those valuables were never found, is n't it?
hvd.hn3gsf	Garret Appleton was shot by a burglar during the night, was n't he? ”"That is the case as it stands now, ” replied the detective.
hvd.hn3gsf	Gaunt, how- how did you know my hair was wet? ” “ Oh, that? ” he smiled.
hvd.hn3gsf	Gaunt, how- how did you know my hair was wet? ” “ Oh, that? ” he smiled.
hvd.hn3gsf	Gaunt?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Got a list of the missing jewelry, money, watch, and all that? ”"Inspector Hanrahan has, of course.
hvd.hn3gsf	Got the car waiting outside? ”"Yes, sir- thank you, sir. ” “ Then I think I will have you take me up to the Appleton house.
hvd.hn3gsf	Gregory? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gsf	Had Mr. Appleton met someone up there for a conference?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Had he any active enemy? ” Mrs. Appleton opened her lips for an indignant denial, when there came an unexpected interrup- tion.
hvd.hn3gsf	Had he been retained to discover the truth, or, as Yates had informed him, to pre- vent as much of the police interference as possible?
hvd.hn3gsf	Had the man really"something up his sleeve, ” as Inspector Hanrahan had suspected?
hvd.hn3gsf	He believed her capable of it; but it seemed scarcely THE CUFF LINK 97"Who is it, please? ” he asked quietly, as she remained tongue- tied.
hvd.hn3gsf	He'd better not have anything more to drink today, if you can keep it away from him. ” “ Drink, sir?
hvd.hn3gsf	Hitchcock?"
hvd.hn3gsf	How are you, sir? ”"I thought I recognized the brand of your tobacco — and is n't Officer Dooley here?
hvd.hn3gsf	How are you, sir? ”"I thought I recognized the brand of your tobacco — and is n't Officer Dooley here?
hvd.hn3gsf	How can I dispose of them? ” “ If I were you, Mr. Appleton, I should wait until the murderer is apprehended.
hvd.hn3gsf	How can I ever thank you? ” 296 AT ONE- THIRTY His hand fell, there was a swirl of silken skirts, and the soft thud of a closing door.
hvd.hn3gsf	How can you tell? ” “ Think, Mrs. Appleton,"he repeated, sternly.
hvd.hn3gsf	How did you hurt your hand? ” “ Cut it badly, sir, carving the other night, when I was in a hurry, and we had a big rush.
hvd.hn3gsf	How does it happen that you are here?
hvd.hn3gsf	How long before the blow was struck, and Mr. Yates Appleton was ordered from the house? ”"I could n't rightly say, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	How old are you, Dakers? ”"Fifty- six, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	How would it be?
hvd.hn3gsf	How- how did you know? ” the valet stammered, the shaking tray almost slipping from his hands.
hvd.hn3gsf	I did not realize how I bungled it- how easily the truth would be discovered. ”"But why did you do it?"
hvd.hn3gsf	I do n't even know that it was ever loaded. ” “ Where did he keep it? ” “ I have n't the least idea.
hvd.hn3gsf	I have come to ask if I may have a few moments'interview with your maid, Marie. ” “ With my maid? ” Mrs. Appleton's tone was loftily amazed.
hvd.hn3gsf	I have one last re- re- THE SISTERS 67 quest to make of you: Will you allow me to touch your hair?
hvd.hn3gsf	I have reconsidered. ” Then, with a little smile: “ That is supposed to be a woman's prerogative, is n't it?
hvd.hn3gsf	I never waited up for Mr. Yates. ” “ And then you went directly to bed? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn3gsf	I ordered Porto Ricos. ”-"Ca n't you tell the difference? ” asked the detective, with a smile.
hvd.hn3gsf	I understand you and Miss Carhart dined here last evening. ” “ We did, sir. ” “ There were other guests? ”"No."
hvd.hn3gsf	I was coming home, and then 1-changed my mind. ”:"At what time did you finally reach home?"
hvd.hn3gsf	I was wretchedly lonely and unhappy, and I wanted her. ”"You could not remain in your room, though, could you?
hvd.hn3gsf	I went with friends, and returned quite late. ” “ At what time? ” “ About one o'clock. ” “ Did you retire at once? ”"No.
hvd.hn3gsf	I went with friends, and returned quite late. ” “ At what time? ” “ About one o'clock. ” “ Did you retire at once? ”"No.
hvd.hn3gsf	I will see that it reaches the owner. ” Then, as the girl seemed to hesitate, he asked: “ Is there anything more you wanted to tell me?"
hvd.hn3gsf	I wonder if Mr. Force would call on me this evening, in my rooms?
hvd.hn3gsf	I wonder if you know of any enemies your brother may have made- if he feared anyone, feared an attack of some sort? ”"Lord, no!
hvd.hn3gsf	ICE om s 35"1-wrong her? ” Her voice held a note of query; but it was a listless one.
hvd.hn3gsf	If it's a family mat- ter, why not see him in his home openly?
hvd.hn3gsf	If it's business, why do n't they come to his office?
hvd.hn3gsf	If not he, then who in that household would have attempted to change the appearance of the room in which the dead man sat?
hvd.hn3gsf	In the clubs, for instance?
hvd.hn3gsf	Interviewed any of the servants yet? ” “ Yes; and, between you and me, Mr. Gaunt, I think I'm on the right trail.
hvd.hn3gsf	Is it- politic?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Is that a motor that I hear below?
hvd.hn3gsf	Is that understood? ” “ Why, y- yes, of course, Mr. Gaunt; that goes without saying.
hvd.hn3gsf	It still reeks of powder. ” THE INSTRUMENT OF DEATH"Where did you get it?"
hvd.hn3gsf	It was I who killed him. ”"You? ” he cried, in well- feigned surprise.
hvd.hn3gsf	It was horrible! ” “ But you are sure, Mrs. Appleton?
hvd.hn3gsf	It's golden, is n't it? ” He pulled the strand of hair from his vest- pocket as he spoke.
hvd.hn3gsf	It's months since I saw it. ” “ Where did you see it last?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Katie the housemaid, and Marie, and the cook, I think, and Mr. Yates'man, James. ” “ Then the family came? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	Maggie, the cook; Dakers, the butler; James, Mr."Yates Appleton's man; and Mrs. Finlay Appleton's maid, Marie. ” “ What was their condition? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Marie telephoned me? ” Her voice was scarcely above a whisper, and it seemed as if she could do no more than echo his words.
hvd.hn3gsf	May I ask you just a few questions?
hvd.hn3gsf	May I ex- amine the body, if I disarrange nothing? ” “ Why, yes, I think so, Mr. Gaunt.
hvd.hn3gsf	May I see your maid now? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gsf	May I trouble you with one more question — this time an irrelevant one?
hvd.hn3gsf	Meanwhile, the Coroner said in a low, excited tone:"You're sure of what you said, Mr. Gaunt?
hvd.hn3gsf	Might those whispers not have been rife in the Patriarchs', on that Monday evening when Yates had gone there to play?
hvd.hn3gsf	Mis'Smith learned, though, to tend her flowers reel nice, an'she loved'em. ”"You love them, too, do n't you, Mrs. Horner?
hvd.hn3gsf	Mis'Smith was n't satis- DEVIOUS WAYS 203 the more high- keyed are its tones?
hvd.hn3gsf	Mr. Appleton smokes cigarettes only. ”"Then where did you get it, James? ” “ 1- 1-I found it, sir,"the valet blurted out.
hvd.hn3gsf	Mr. Garret Appleton's fortune was not entirely in real estate, was it? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Mrs. Appleton, you approve of this move of your son's? ”"I?
hvd.hn3gsf	Mrs. Appleton, you approve of this move of your son's? ”"I?
hvd.hn3gsf	No guests? ” “ None staying in the house.
hvd.hn3gsf	Not about herself, surely? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Not that!'? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Now I can have a few days longer with my sister, ca n't I?
hvd.hn3gsf	Now, Katie, what is it you wished to see me about? ” “'Twas me that found the-- the corpse, sor.
hvd.hn3gsf	Oh, what does it all mean?
hvd.hn3gsf	Oh, yes, Miss Ellers- lie went to a wedding with a party of friends, who called for her —"“ A wedding?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Perhaps you'll come to my room?
hvd.hn3gsf	Perhaps — who could tell, now?
hvd.hn3gsf	Shall I pack?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Shall I read the menu to you? ” Evidently, the head waiter had told him of his patron's affliction.
hvd.hn3gsf	Shall I show you the way? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	She had retired when I served them. ” “ Did you come up- stairs again before locking up?"
hvd.hn3gsf	She told me herself, afterward, that she had done so. ” “ And she has your husband's money and valu- ables? ” “ I think so.
hvd.hn3gsf	She's merely hysterical now, and Barbara is taking care of her. ” “ But, Catherine, is it wise?
hvd.hn3gsf	Smith has disappeared, and Appleton is dead! ” THE END OF A FALSE SCENT 213 “ Do you know where Smith has gone? ” “ No, Mr. Gaunt.
hvd.hn3gsf	So, that lets him out. ” “ And now, what? ” asked Gaunt, quietly.
hvd.hn3gsf	Surely, it was a burglar, was it not?
hvd.hn3gsf	That is all. ” “ What time did you leave? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	That is true, is it not? ” “ Perfectly true. ” “ At what time did you leave the others? ” “ At ten o'clock.
hvd.hn3gsf	That is true, is it not? ” “ Perfectly true. ” “ At what time did you leave the others? ” “ At ten o'clock.
hvd.hn3gsf	That looks like a struggle, do n't it?
hvd.hn3gsf	That would be a dangerous accusation to bring against a man, would n't it? ” Force glanced at the clock on the mantel.
hvd.hn3gsf	That's a curious thing about the inside of the vest- pocket. ” “ What is? ” asked Coroner Hildebrand.
hvd.hn3gsf	That's all I know, sir. ” “ After you attended to your usual duties, did you serve anything to the family during the evening?'
hvd.hn3gsf	That's all, I think. ” “ All?
hvd.hn3gsf	The man's alibi proved to be complete. ” “ Did you get any more out of Dakers, the butler? ” the detective asked, after a pause.
hvd.hn3gsf	The rest you know. ” “ Miss Ellerslie, ” the detective's voice was very gentle,"you have lived North with your sister since her marriage?"
hvd.hn3gsf	The roux of the mystery is still beyond my grasp. ”, “ It seems like such a useless tragedy, does n't it? ” the younger man ventured.
hvd.hn3gsf	Then I knew that he had been murdered. ”"How was the revolver pointing? ”"Toward him, just as the one who had fired the shot had laid it down.
hvd.hn3gsf	Then I went to bed. ” “ You heard nothing during the night? ” “ Nothing, sir, until Katie's screams woke me.
hvd.hn3gsf	Then drawing a fresh breath, she asked: “ Who air you wantin'to see? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Then he added: “ And Mr. Yates Appleton — what did he reply? ” “ He say,'Mon Dieu!
hvd.hn3gsf	Then he added: “ What can I do for you? ” “ Tell me all you can of the Smith, Hitchcock V. Gregory failure, four years ago."
hvd.hn3gsf	Then he said: “ My old friend, Hanrahan — what on earth can he want?
hvd.hn3gsf	Then she hanged up the receiver with a bang. ”"To whom do you think she was speaking, Katie?
hvd.hn3gsf	Then — then the rest came the family. ” “ Which of them appeared first? ”"I do n't know.
hvd.hn3gsf	Then, I left him at his rooms, and came home to bed myself. ” “ At what time did you leave the club? ” “ The club?
hvd.hn3gsf	Then, I left him at his rooms, and came home to bed myself. ” “ At what time did you leave the club? ” “ The club?
hvd.hn3gsf	Then, I returned to my room. ” “ You retired immediately? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	There had been no serious quarrels preceding it?"
hvd.hn3gsf	There was nothing- not a word or a look from anyone out of the ordinary? ”"I ca n't think- you frighten me so, Mr. Gaunt!
hvd.hn3gsf	There were only two members of the firm, were there not- only the man Smith, and Rupert Hitchcock?
hvd.hn3gsf	There's something mysterious been going on that Garret Appleton was concerned with, all right. ” “ What did you learn at the inn, last night?
hvd.hn3gsf	Therefore, it was during that hour, between twelve and one, that you killed your husband?"
hvd.hn3gsf	These are the shape and size of Porto Ricos, but the tobacco is Havana. ”"Is it?
hvd.hn3gsf	This house is getting on my nerves. ” “ Will you please ring for a servant, and have me conducted to the drawing- room or library?
hvd.hn3gsf	This is your hair, is n't it?
hvd.hn3gsf	To whom did you telephone the news of the murder, imme- diately after it was discovered, this morning? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Was he a frequent customer here?
hvd.hn3gsf	Was that due in part, do you think, to the presence of your daughter- in- law's sister? ” “ In great part.
hvd.hn3gsf	We want you to find out the t- truth! ” “ How many are there in the family — the im- mediate family? ”"The household, you mean?
hvd.hn3gsf	We want you to find out the t- truth! ” “ How many are there in the family — the im- mediate family? ”"The household, you mean?
hvd.hn3gsf	Were you going anywhere, special? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Were you going to Mr. Ap- pleton's room?
hvd.hn3gsf	What are you going to do with them? ”"I do n't know- I do n't know! ” the young man moaned, his head between his hands.
hvd.hn3gsf	What connection had there been between him and the murdered man?
hvd.hn3gsf	What could be expected of a woman, a mother, at such a time?
hvd.hn3gsf	What could it matter what a woman said at such a time? ”"It matters a great deal, ” the detective replied, quietly.
hvd.hn3gsf	What did it sound like?
hvd.hn3gsf	What did she say to him? ” “ I do n't know. ” Barbara Ellerslie's hesitation was apparent.
hvd.hn3gsf	What do you mean?
hvd.hn3gsf	What have you heard from them? ” “ Well, they ran up against a snag; but it's a significant one.
hvd.hn3gsf	What is it you want to ask me?
hvd.hn3gsf	What is it? ”"Can you reply freely, without fear of being overheard- mention names if necessary? ” Gaunt asked, cautiously.
hvd.hn3gsf	What is it? ”"Can you reply freely, without fear of being overheard- mention names if necessary? ” Gaunt asked, cautiously.
hvd.hn3gsf	What made you look to see? ” 114 AT ONE- THIRTY The questions came like a rapid- fire shot; but the butler was ready for them.
hvd.hn3gsf	What makes you think I am not an asso- ciate of theirs? ” “ Because Miss Ellerslie tells me that she is engaged to you.
hvd.hn3gsf	What motive could there be?
hvd.hn3gsf	What scandal is there for them to discover? ” “ None, really. ” Mr. Appleton sniffed hastily.
hvd.hn3gsf	What secret had they shared, what mystery guarded?
hvd.hn3gsf	What shall I do with that packet in the safe — with the things I took from my brother's body?
hvd.hn3gsf	What's the connection, anyway?
hvd.hn3gsf	What's the matter with it? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Whatever started you on that?
hvd.hn3gsf	When did you catch your hair on the lamp? ” There was silence, while she draw a deep, quiver- ing breath, like a hurt animal.
hvd.hn3gsf	Where was it found, Mr. Gaunt?
hvd.hn3gsf	Who is it, please? ” came in a hearty, good- natured voice over the wire.
hvd.hn3gsf	Who killed him, and why did they come back hours later and fix up that window stunt? ” “ That's what we're here to find out.
hvd.hn3gsf	Who killed my husband? ” For reply he raised his head suddenly, and asked sternly: “ Who else is in this room? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Who killed my husband? ” For reply he raised his head suddenly, and asked sternly: “ Who else is in this room? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Who was it?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Who would have had the necessary strength of character and nerve to have conceived such a plan, and have carried it to fruition?
hvd.hn3gsf	Whom do you mean by that, Mr. Appleton? ” the detective spoke peremptor- ily, and the other man squirmed uneasily.
hvd.hn3gsf	Why d- did you ask me that? ” “ Think, Mrs. Appleton.
hvd.hn3gsf	Why did n't Miss Barbara see that you obeyed me?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Why did n't you shout, and arouse the house, and start the search for the slayer? ” “ Oh, ca n't you understand?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Why did n't you shout, and arouse the house, and start the search for the slayer? ” “ Oh, ca n't you understand?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Why did n't you tell me yesterday? ” The butler hesitated a fraction of a second too long.
hvd.hn3gsf	Why did you come to me today and tell me this?
hvd.hn3gsf	Why did you think she would wish to know? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	Why had she checked herself?
hvd.hn3gsf	Why had she denied it?
hvd.hn3gsf	Why had that hypothesis not occurred to him at once?
hvd.hn3gsf	Why is your hair all wet about your forehead? ”"My hair?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Why is your hair all wet about your forehead? ”"My hair?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Why should anyone do such a thing?
hvd.hn3gsf	Why should there have been? ” “ Mr.

hvd.hn3gsf	Will you give me the particulars?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Will you have a cigar?
hvd.hn3gsf	Will you tell him so, please? ” The old wife gave a little, sharp cry, and the man replied uneasily: “ Tell'i m, sir!
hvd.hn3gsf	Will you tell me if he is at home?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Will you try to be very brave? ” 274 AT ONE- THIRTY “ You need not fear for me.
hvd.hn3gsf	With an effort, he roused himself from his reverie, and called wearily: “ What is it?"
hvd.hn3gsf	Would I, would any mother, not be agitated at such a time as this, when her eldest son lies dead, foully murdered, almost at her feet?
hvd.hn3gsf	Yates Appleton. ” “ Yates Appleton? ” What was it that the name seemed vaguely to convey?
hvd.hn3gsf	Yates Appleton. ” “ Yates Appleton? ” What was it that the name seemed vaguely to convey?
hvd.hn3gsf	You did n't think I was afraid of you, did you? ” he added, in sudden bluster.
hvd.hn3gsf	You did not enter the den, Miss Carhart? ” “ No, Mr. Gaunt. ” The detective rose.
hvd.hn3gsf	You have known Mr. Yates Appleton long, Mr. Living- ston? ” “ Known him and his brother all my life, ” the other returned.
hvd.hn3gsf	You have no plans for the future? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	You heard nothing unusual on your return, nor at any time during the night? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	You know, yourself, about the other one, Hitchcock, do n't you? ” “ Convicted and sent to prison, was n't he?"
hvd.hn3gsf	You know, yourself, about the other one, Hitchcock, do n't you? ” “ Convicted and sent to prison, was n't he?"
hvd.hn3gsf	You say that your family have been closely allied to that of the Appletons, for three generations?
hvd.hn3gsf	You understand the distinction I am endeavoring to make? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.hn3gsf	You went out immediately after dinner, did you not? ” “ Almost immediately.
hvd.hn3gsf	You went out immediately after dinner, last evening? ” “ Yes, to a wedding- a very quiet one, that of an old schoolmate.
hvd.hn3gsf	You went up- stairs to be by your- self?"
hvd.hn3gsf	You will remain here? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gsf	You'll be here all day? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gsf	You'll come back when the Smiths do? ” “ Yes, yes, ” Gaunt answered, with a slight smile,"I will come back when the Smiths do."
hvd.hn3gsf	You, too, were — ill, Miss Ellerslie? ”"I- I fainted, just a few minutes before you came,"she confessed.

hvd.hn3gsf	“ A man and his wife named Smith lived there, did n't they? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ An active member?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ And during the night you heard no sound whatever, Miss Ellerslie?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ And the next thing you heard was the house- maid's screams, when she went to the den, the fol- lowing morning? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ And where did you find this, Katie? ” “ In the den, sor, right by the door, when I first went in.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Any other marks on the body? ”"None but the bullet- wound,"the Inspector re- turned, briefly.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ At a little after twelve, sir. ” “ And how long did you remain standing outside the door of the den?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ But-how did you know? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Coroner, the autopsy has been performed? ” Gaunt asked, sharply.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Did you know Mr. Garret Appleton by sight?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Did you, Doris? ” The girl caught her breath suddenly, with a little hiss, then replied in a low, studiously con- trolled tone.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Do n't you remember? ” he persisted, a note of sternness creeping into his tones.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Do with- what?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Do you know what I think? ” the Inspector remarked, very seriously.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Found out anything, Mr. Gaunt? ” “ A little, though I have n't begun to examine the room thoroughly yet.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ From her?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Have you been there lately? ”"Not in weeks. ” “ Indeed!
hvd.hn3gsf	“ He wore it pinned inside his vest- pocket, in evening- clothes, did n't he?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Here, sir? ” the valet started nervously.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How can you tell? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How did you know where I was sitting? ” “ By your perfume, Miss Carhart, ” he replied, with a smile.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How do you do, Mr. Gaunt, sir? ” “ How do you do, Inspector?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How do you do, Mr. Gaunt, sir? ” “ How do you do, Inspector?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How do you know that- about the blood, I mean?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How should I know? ” the girl drew herself up coldly.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ How'd you know? ”"By the texture.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ I mean, when Marie, Mrs. Appleton's maid, telephoned you. ” “ Telephoned me?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ I trust that she is better, that she has rallied a little from the shock of yesterday? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ I'd like to see my client now. ” “ Found anything more? ” the Inspector asked, with a grin.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ I'm on a case now, as you very well know. ” “ I, sir?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ I- wrong her? ” Her voice held a note of query; but it was a listless one.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ If you had, your task would be hope- less from the start. ”"Why? ” The Inspector reddened, and shifted uneasily from one foot to the other.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ In the-- d- den? ” she stammered; and the detective could hear the silken coverlet shiver with her involuntary start.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Miss Carhart, you will recall what I said to you at the commencement of this interview?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Miss Ellerslie, ” he said, “ I wonder if you will let me tell you a- a fairy story? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Miss Ellerslie?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ My God! ” “ You bribed your chauffeur: why did n't you bribe the butler? ” persisted Gaunt.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ My engagement to Mr. Randolph Force, you mean?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Not pardoned, Gaunt, paroled. ” “ Oh, then of course, you know where he is? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Oh, sir, ” she asked, at the door, “ have you found out anything?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Oh, you will let me go to my room? ” the hys- terical voice sobbed, plaintively.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Out of the way?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Palmer and Leach, I think you said, were the 190 AT ONE- THIRTY few minutes to spare for me?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Pin?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Rather unusual, was n't it?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ So that, after leaving the club, you only drove around by yourself for about twenty minutes? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ So you went down? ” asked Gaunt, gently.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ The- den?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Then — what? ” Gaunt urged, gently.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Then, you will not tell me? ” he insisted.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ To the kitchen, sir, with this tray. ” “ Tray? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Toward the last — what?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was Mr. Smith tall and thin, and did he walk a little lame, sort of dragging one foot behind him? ” the detective continued.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was it of thirty- two caliber? ”"I do n't know.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was it the night before his death, Miss Car- hart? ”"Oh, naturally, if you call that seeing him alone.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was the firm, by any 188 AT ONE- THIRTY chance, Smith, Hitchcock V. Gregory? ” he per- sisted.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was the weapon found? ” “ No, certainly not!
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was there any talk of his having been indirectly connected with the failure? ” “ Really, I can not remember.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Was there no light on the lower floor? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Well, is n't that just possible, Mr. Gaunt? ” He was unaware, perhaps, of the abrupt inten- sity in his tones.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What can I say to you?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What did you do last evening, Mr. Appleton?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What did you do last night, after you served dinner? ” “ I attended to my usual duties, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What do you mean to insinuate?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What does it mean? ” he cried hoarsely, waiving FAILURE AND VICTORY 285 bling tones.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What is it?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What is the farm- house like- the one right here, which is closed up, I mean?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What is the man's name? ”"Harmon Witherspoon.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ What's that? ” the Inspector turned sharply from the window.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ When Mr. Yates Appleton refused to pay you for your silence, why did n't you go to his mother?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ When did you first hear of it?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ When did you wake?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ When we fust coom over?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ When were you in the den?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Where the deuce have you been, Mr. Gaunt?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Where? ” the question fell crisply from Gaunt's lips.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Who else is in this apartment, James? ”.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Who else of the household was there before you? ” “ The housemaid, Katie, of course.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Who is it- Inspector Hanrahan? ” asked Gaunt, with a swift smile.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Who is that with you, please, Mr. Gaunt? ” “ My chauffeur.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Who was it? ” the detective asked, sternly.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Who was there before you? ” “ 1-I hardly know, sir.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Why did you rearrange the room, and remove your brother's valuables?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Will you go to the den, and look for it? ” Then, as the young man seemed to hesitate, he added: “ Mr.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Will you let us hear from you?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Will you send the butler- Dakers — to me, please? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Will you smoke? ” “ Thanks, no.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Yes. ” “ You are perfectly sure of this? ” “ Quite sure.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You are the butler?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You awakened with the rest, and rushed down? ” “ No- o.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You can not give me any more definite information as to the time Mr. Yates Appleton called on you last night, can you? ”"Sorry, I ca n't.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You did not wait for your husband to come up- stairs?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You did not, before you went up- stairs and encountered the maid, go near the den? ”"No."
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You have abstracted the bullet?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You have come to tell me something, Mr. Gaunt? ” she asked; and he started involuntarily at the subtle change in her voice.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You have discovered who killed my husband?"
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You heard your husband's voice, Mrs. Apple- ton; but did you hear hers? ” “ No.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You knew it, then? ” The question was shot quickly at her.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You knew it?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You were- to have been married soon? ” He heard his own voice quietly, steadily, breaking the silence.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You will permit me to use your telephone?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You wished to see me, Mr. Gaunt? ” the low, sweet, pulsing voice sounded upon his ears, and Barbara Ellerslie led the way into the library.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ You'll have an autopsy performed immediately, I suppose?
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Your handkerchief, I believe? ” he asked, smil- ingly presenting it.
hvd.hn3gsf	“ Your sister, Mrs. Appleton? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you claim to have some special faculty? ” asked Chichester. hvd.hnp7lh I thought it a legitimate and powerful inven- tion introduced to point a moral. ” “ Nothing more than that?
hvd.hnp7lh	What is it? ” Ellen appeared with the mutton. hvd.hnp7lh You think it was that? ” “ He never will take advice from any one.
hvd.hnp7lh	118 THE DWELLER “ Do you wish me to be frank, and do you mean the two sermons?
hvd.hnp7lh	12 ON THE THRESHOLD mor “ You do n't mind my company for a little longer, I hope?
hvd.hnp7lh	179'THE DWELLER “ And now?
hvd.hnp7lh	18 ON THE THRESHOLD “ You have n't observed it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	23 30 ON THE THRESHOLD “ You have heard Professor Stepton speak of Mr. Malling, have n't you? ” added the rector to his wife.
hvd.hnp7lh	45 THE DWELLER “ No?
hvd.hnp7lh	55 THE DWELLER Now the professor's “ What is it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	6 ON THE THRESHOLD “ You do n't think it would be wiser to take a hansom? ” began Chichester.
hvd.hnp7lh	66 ON THE THRESHOLD “ Have you been in these rooms long?"
hvd.hnp7lh	69 THE DWELLER “ And — and would you say I looked a hap- pier, as well as a — a stronger man?"
hvd.hnp7lh	73 THE DWELLER- “ May I have another cup? ” he said.
hvd.hnp7lh	81 THE DWELLER “ Why? ”"To hear your brother- in- law preach at St. Joseph's. ” “ Marcus! ” exclaimed Lady Mansford.
hvd.hnp7lh	84 ON THE THRESHOLD “ He seems to have come on marvelously, to be quite another man. ”"Quite another man, does he?"
hvd.hnp7lh	After two or three minutes of silence the rector remarked: “ You know Chichester well?
hvd.hnp7lh	An- other quail?
hvd.hnp7lh	And Mr. Harding kindly asked me to lunch. ” “ You were at church at St. Joseph's this morn- ing? ” said Chichester.
hvd.hnp7lh	And he used to be almost unbearably dull. ” “ Will you have a quail?"
hvd.hnp7lh	And may I ask the manifes- tation's name? ” “ Marcus Harding."
hvd.hnp7lh	And now — you? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	And the doctor, is n't he the clergyman of the body?
hvd.hnp7lh	And was Mr. Harding the powerful preacher he was reputed to be?
hvd.hnp7lh	And was that why now, as Malling walked home in the darkness and rain, he felt himself humbled, diminished?
hvd.hnp7lh	And what followed?"
hvd.hnp7lh	And what had these sittings led to, what had been their result?
hvd.hnp7lh	And what sort of man was it that thus preceded him not very far away?
hvd.hnp7lh	And when would that moment come?
hvd.hnp7lh	And why not Majors, if you come to that?
hvd.hnp7lh	And why not? ” interrupted Chichester.
hvd.hnp7lh	And yet was he?
hvd.hnp7lh	And yet — did he know it?
hvd.hnp7lh	And you never did that? ” He looked at Chichester.
hvd.hnp7lh	Any interesting manifestations? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	Are you busy to- day?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Are you going to be long in London? ” “ All the season, I think."
hvd.hnp7lh	Are you thinking that? ” “ Well, what if I was?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Are you thinking that? ” “ Well, what if I was?"
hvd.hnp7lh	As if to cover some emotion, he looked at Mal- ling's plate, and added: “ Have some more?
hvd.hnp7lh	As soon as she had put it on the table and departed, Chiches- ter continued:"How does Mr. Harding strike you?
hvd.hnp7lh	At church? ” was his greeting.
hvd.hnp7lh	At first I think she believed the excuse I put forward for my strange transformation. ” “ Do you mean your nervous affection? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnp7lh	But have n't you heard? ” “ What? ” “ His poor rector's gone, sir, what used to come here to visit him so regular.
hvd.hnp7lh	But have n't you heard? ” “ What? ” “ His poor rector's gone, sir, what used to come here to visit him so regular.
hvd.hnp7lh	But how can I do otherwise?
hvd.hnp7lh	But how?
hvd.hnp7lh	But if I invite you to meet him, in my house or elsewhere, will you promise me to come?"
hvd.hnp7lh	But if the man had stayed, what would have been the effect on the double?
hvd.hnp7lh	But surely develop- ment is natural and to be expected? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	But they must say something, must n't they? ” “ Is Mr. Harding so very much changed?"
hvd.hnp7lh	But they must say something, must n't they? ” “ Is Mr. Harding so very much changed?"
hvd.hnp7lh	But was he not now, perhaps, exaggerating its character, “ suggestioned ” as it were by the obvi- ous turmoil of Mr. Harding?
hvd.hnp7lh	But was it certain that the feelings generated in sittings never persisted after they were broken up?
hvd.hnp7lh	But what was the character of the man 36 ON THE THRESHOLD himself?
hvd.hnp7lh	But what were you talking about?
hvd.hnp7lh	But when a man changes dras- tically, sheds his character and takes on another? ” “ You are talking perhaps of what is called con- version?"
hvd.hnp7lh	But when a man changes dras- tically, sheds his character and takes on another? ” “ You are talking perhaps of what is called con- version?"
hvd.hnp7lh	But who was he?
hvd.hnp7lh	But with Chi- chester — did I ever succeed?
hvd.hnp7lh	But — going back to our subject — do n't you still think that men should live by the truth?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Can you explain the nature of that obligation?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Chichester agreed, — when did he not agree with me at that time?
hvd.hnp7lh	Chichester, you say, was a saint?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Could I ever suc- ceed with such an one as he had become?
hvd.hnp7lh	Could they be continuing the sittings, if there had ever been sittings?
hvd.hnp7lh	Could you?
hvd.hnp7lh	Could you? ” “ Probably not, ” said Stepton.
hvd.hnp7lh	Did he really think it nothing more than that?
hvd.hnp7lh	Did n't I tell you I would give you some of my power?'
hvd.hnp7lh	Did n't I tell you — or was it someone else?
hvd.hnp7lh	Did you tell him you were coming? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	Directly they reached it the rector said: “ Are you engaged to lunch to- day, Mr. Mal- ling?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Do n't they, Lady Sophia?
hvd.hnp7lh	Do n't you think so? ” The question sounded anxious to Malling's ears.
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you deny it?".
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you expect me to be sorry?
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you look upon it as a case of transferred person- ality?
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you mean by grief? ” “ Yes. ” “ I should suppose that to be highly improb- able."
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you or do you not, see a great change in Henry Chichester? ” The rector's voice had risen while he spoke, till it almost clamored for reply.
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you think Galileo deserved our censure? ” “ Saul was punished for consulting the witch of Endor,"returned Chichester.
hvd.hnp7lh	Do you wish me to introduce him to you? ” “ Let me see. ” The professor dropped his head and remained silent for a minute or two.
hvd.hnp7lh	Eh? ” said Malling.
hvd.hnp7lh	For now, was it not almost as if something of Harding in Chichester watched, criticized, Chichester in Harding?
hvd.hnp7lh	For what more natural than that Chichester should be coming?
hvd.hnp7lh	Had he looked forward to some such change?
hvd.hnp7lh	Had he seen it?
hvd.hnp7lh	Had the strong man troubled the waters of the weaker man's soul, and were those waters still agitated?
hvd.hnp7lh	Harding? ” “ And all that he represents."
hvd.hnp7lh	Harding? ” “ Pretty well.
hvd.hnp7lh	Harding?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Has it ever struck you that Harding was almost too successful a clergyman to be a genuinely holy man?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Has n't it? ” “ I dare say my word carries some weight.
hvd.hnp7lh	Has — has anything happened to — why do you want me at such an hour?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Have n't you noticed that? ” “ Want of moral strength,"said Malling, lacon- ically.
hvd.hnp7lh	Have you come across him?".
hvd.hnp7lh	Have you ever felt such a sensation?
hvd.hnp7lh	He is al- ways there, at the window, watching me. ” “ What do you say?"
hvd.hnp7lh	How could they be anything else?
hvd.hnp7lh	How could you know? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hnp7lh	How, then, could he refuse to continue when suc- cess was already in sight?
hvd.hnp7lh	I do n't quite understand?"
hvd.hnp7lh	I happened to be at church this morn- ing ” “ At church — where? ” exclaimed the curate.
hvd.hnp7lh	I thought I would give you a hail. ” “ Do you mean that you want to come in?"
hvd.hnp7lh	I wonder — ” “ I shall be delighted to come. ” “ When?"
hvd.hnp7lh	I ’m in rooms, in Hornton Street — do you know it?
hvd.hnp7lh	I'm sorry for her. ” “ I lunched with Lady Sophia after the service. ” “ Did you?
hvd.hnp7lh	If there is anything in this it's pro- foundly interesting, of course. ” “ Then you advise me —?"
hvd.hnp7lh	If we can learn by contemplation, can we not, must we not, learn by being contemplated?
hvd.hnp7lh	In reply to Malling's half- laughing question, Lady Sophia said: “ You ’ ve studied all these things, have n't you?"
hvd.hnp7lh	In the even- ing Mr. Harding had listened to Chichester- how?
hvd.hnp7lh	In those few frightful moments what had become of myself, of Henry Chichester?
hvd.hnp7lh	In what way?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Is it the instinct of the Creator burning like an undying spark in the created?
hvd.hnp7lh	Is n't it sad? ” “ Sad!
hvd.hnp7lh	Lawn sleeves, purple, perhaps,- for who is more hopeful than this type of woman in the golden moments of life?
hvd.hnp7lh	Malling, do you know whom this telegram is from? ” “ How can I, or you, for that matter?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Malling, do you know whom this telegram is from? ” “ How can I, or you, for that matter?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Malling?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Might not the former, therefore, conceiv- ably draw in strength, while the other faded into weakness?
hvd.hnp7lh	Mr. Harding seems to me mentally — what shall I say? — rather torn in pieces, as if preyed upon by some anxiety.
hvd.hnp7lh	My curates, for example — ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hnp7lh	My friend Sophia wo n't be able to stand it. ” “ You mean — the contrast?
hvd.hnp7lh	No?
hvd.hnp7lh	Now what I want you to do is this: will you go upstairs and spend a few minutes alone with Chichester?
hvd.hnp7lh	Of double transfer, I mean?"
hvd.hnp7lh	One thing, though, Harding certainly does believe in, judging by a sermon I once heard him preach. ” “ And that is? ” “ Manicheism.
hvd.hnp7lh	Or — did they?
hvd.hnp7lh	Shall I tackle him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Shall we go by Wilton Place, or —?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Something within him — was it something holy?
hvd.hnp7lh	Still I am greatly interested, I confess, in all that Stepton is doing. ” “ Does Mr. Chichester share your interest? ” said Malling.
hvd.hnp7lh	The clergyman is the doctor of the soul, is n't he?
hvd.hnp7lh	The curate who preceded me had occupied them. ” “ What became of him? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	The point is not what rank in the hierarchy a man has, but what, and how, does he see?
hvd.hnp7lh	Then why not publish? ” “ It is not fiction."
hvd.hnp7lh	Then you think he's caught something of my manner and way of looking at things?
hvd.hnp7lh	Then you think such a story as Mr. Chiches- ter related in his sermon all nonsense?"
hvd.hnp7lh	There was an account of one in that sermon of yours. ” “ Have you ever seen a double?"
hvd.hnp7lh	There's a good deal to do. ” “ You're not overworked?
hvd.hnp7lh	There's certainly something in it. ” But what?
hvd.hnp7lh	They are so absurdly small this season, are n't they?
hvd.hnp7lh	Was he a man of real force, or was he painted lath?
hvd.hnp7lh	Was he one of the few men?
hvd.hnp7lh	Was he saint or sinner, or just ordi- nary, normal man, with a usual allowance of faults and virtues?
hvd.hnp7lh	Was it certain that in every case the waters that had been mysteriously troubled settled into their former stillness?
hvd.hnp7lh	Well? ” “ You mean you want to know —? ” “ Your impression of Chichester. ” The rector stopped on the landing.
hvd.hnp7lh	Well? ” “ You mean you want to know —? ” “ Your impression of Chichester. ” The rector stopped on the landing.
hvd.hnp7lh	Were vergers “ briba- ble"?
hvd.hnp7lh	Were you satisfied with that?
hvd.hnp7lh	What answer should he return to the rector?
hvd.hnp7lh	What did you think of it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	What did you think of it?".
hvd.hnp7lh	What had been the emotions only shad- owed faintly forth in that ghastly face?
hvd.hnp7lh	What impression does he make upon you? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	What is it?
hvd.hnp7lh	What is it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	What is it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	What is it?'
hvd.hnp7lh	What more natural than that the professor should chance to be coming out of it?
hvd.hnp7lh	What shall I do with- out him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	When tea was finished and cleared away, he ob- served: “ And now, Malling, what is your view?
hvd.hnp7lh	When the séance was over he explained what it was to — What did this so- called man of science do?
hvd.hnp7lh	Where could this person be going?
hvd.hnp7lh	Where would it end?
hvd.hnp7lh	Which is it now — you professor, you?
hvd.hnp7lh	Which is it now?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Who can ever really ex- pose himself? ” Essentially he was the Seeker.
hvd.hnp7lh	Who can say?
hvd.hnp7lh	Who could this be whose familiar entry into his — his home thus at night caused no disturbance?
hvd.hnp7lh	Who is it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Whose?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Why did not she succeed?
hvd.hnp7lh	Why do I bear it?
hvd.hnp7lh	Why not follow Step- ton's advice?
hvd.hnp7lh	Why not study Lady Sophia?
hvd.hnp7lh	Why should we waste a thought on such nonsense?".
hvd.hnp7lh	Why, he's so changed I do n't hardly know him. ” “ Have you been here long?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Why?
hvd.hnp7lh	Will you do this for me? ” “ Certainly, ” said Malling, with his most pro- saic manner.
hvd.hnp7lh	Will you give me your word not to share what I shall tell you with any one, unless, later on, I am willing that you should?".
hvd.hnp7lh	Will you go and pay a visit of condo- lence to Chichester on the death of his rector, and then come round to the White House and re-------- port?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Will you make a little investigation for me?
hvd.hnp7lh	Will you promise me one thing?
hvd.hnp7lh	Will you stay?
hvd.hnp7lh	Would you like to come to my study?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Would you say he was a man to have much power over others, his fellow- men?"
hvd.hnp7lh	Yet he had often said to himself, “ Who can ever really expose another?
hvd.hnp7lh	Yet was it really so very marked?
hvd.hnp7lh	You can understand the position, I dare say? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	You remember, I asked you not to tell him you were coming?"
hvd.hnp7lh	You think he would be a difficult customer to tackle now?
hvd.hnp7lh	You wo n't?
hvd.hnp7lh	You — you have no objec- tion to promising to tell me? ” Malling hesitated.
hvd.hnp7lh	You'll have tea with me, I hope?
hvd.hnp7lh	You, a clergyman, think that it is good to bolster up truth with lies?"
hvd.hnp7lh	ding has been making any experiments? ” “ In church music, biblical criticism, or what?
hvd.hnp7lh	ding has been making any experiments? ” “ In church music, biblical criticism, or what?
hvd.hnp7lh	eer 209 THE DWELLER “ Do you claim to stand outside the ranks of the clergy? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp7lh	ell, what did you think of it?
hvd.hnp7lh	said the professor, “ that Henry Chichester will be greatly affected by this death? ” “ Affected?
hvd.hnp7lh	said the professor, “ that Henry Chichester will be greatly affected by this death? ” “ Affected?
hvd.hnp7lh	— and a dozen others?
hvd.hnp7lh	— near Campden Hill?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Ah?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And Mr. Harding, sir?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And how long did you continue the sit- tings?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And so Mr. Chichester is quite altered by his grief? ” “ You never did, sir!
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And yet is n't there a saying of Newton's, A little science sends man far away from God, a great deal of science brings man back to God?'
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And you did n't encourage him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And you have placed'them all?".
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And you? ” said Malling.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ And — for clergymen? ” questioned Chiches- ter, leaning forward, and dropping his small, thin hands down between his knees.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Any unusual change in his outward man since you knew him two years ago?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Anything new or interesting? ” asked Mal- ling.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Are they what they were?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Are you going far? ” “ Oh, dear, no.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Are you going to be away long?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Are you walking my way?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Are you?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ As they grow older?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ But are there such cases?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ But do you mean that a rector should depend on his curate's advice rather than on his own judgment? ” “ And why not?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ But do you mean that a rector should depend on his curate's advice rather than on his own judgment? ” “ And why not?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ But is it quite fair to Chichester? ” he said.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ But —"“ No, do n't come with me, please. ” “ If I go to St. Joseph's to- morrow, afterward may I see you again?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Certainly, if I possibly can. ” “ And your address?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Could this be so if I were like other men, other clergymen?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Could you come on Wednesday week?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Could you take him my card? ” Agnes took it, much to her own surprise, and carried it to the professor's study.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Did he?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Did you come to hear me preach again? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Did you — did you stay for the sermon?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do I look so?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do I, indeed?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do n't you think it higher? ” “ I do."
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you claim to stand outside the ranks of the scientists? ” “ Oh, dear, no.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you find him much changed?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you know also his senior curate, Henry Chichester? ” “ No. ” “ Have you heard of him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you know also his senior curate, Henry Chichester? ” “ No. ” “ Have you heard of him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you know where he is staying? ” “ The address he left is the Tankerton Hotel, Tankerton, near Whitstable- on- Sea, sir."
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you know? ” The curate's lips worked, but he made no an- swer.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you mean to say you did n't notice it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you mean to tell me you do n't believe it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you mean what are sometimes called occult questions?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you mind if we have a little air? ” he added.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you smoke? ” asked Mr. Harding, when lunch was over.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you think it is right? ” said Chichester, earnestly.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you think the alteration in Mr. Harding may be due to nervous dyspepsia? ” “ Probably.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you think, ” he said after a pause, “ that it is possible for another, an outsider, to know a man better than he knows himself?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Do you think?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Does n't he agree with you?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Does n't he care for pictures?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Even now has n't he learnt the value of the matter- of- fact?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ For long? ” “ We do n't know, sir.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Has he said anything to you about leaving? ” he asked, suddenly raising his voice, as if under the influence of excitement.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Has n't Harding ever talked to you on the subject?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have n't you been sleeping well lately? ” “ Very badly.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have the reverend gentle- men of St. Joseph's been at it again — success- fully?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have you far to go? ” he asked, with rather a tentative air.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have you just begun tea? ” he asked, looking now at his wife.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have you made many experiments yourself, may I ask? ” he said very bluntly.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have you seen him lately?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Have you,"exclaimed Mr. Harding-"have you some reason to believe Chichester has ever contemplated departure? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ He was tired of work at St. Joseph's? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ I did n't know who it was, ma'am. ” “ Is it this way?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ I have no ambition for myself. ” “ But perhaps the ambition to spur on another successfully?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ I saw him only the other day when I was at a specialist's in Harley Street. ”"A specialist's?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ I wish you to advise me how I had better pro- ceed. ” “ You really think the matter important?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ In appearance, you mean?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ In the hall? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Is it getting late? ” he said.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Is n't the rector coming to see me? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Is the rector coming in to tea? ” asked Chi- chester.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ It's odd how men change, is n't it?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Know? ” “ That I had left him?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Know? ” “ That I had left him?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Malling prides himself on being severely neutral in mind. ” “ And you on being skeptical? ” 213 THE DWELLER e ever m “ I await facts."
hvd.hnp7lh	“ May I say good- by to Lady Sophia?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ No; not to my knowledge. ” “ I suppose you disbelieve in them? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Or that Chichester has? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Over- exertion — ” “ Am I an invalid?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Perhaps you think it rather a strange one for a clergyman to select?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Rector — curate — archbishop — what does it matter?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Right?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Shall I give you some strange facts, the strangest perhaps you have ever met with? ”.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Shall I tell you what I really think? ” he asked, leaning forward in the chair he had taken.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Shall we go there and wait for him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Since when?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ So, the modern clergyman still believes in slip- slop, does he?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Some man with authority. ” “ Do you mean ecclesiastical authority?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Such as I? ” he said.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Suppose I obtained, for instance, a less favora- ble, or even an unfavorable impression of him now?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ That sermon?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ That we women are fools — fools! ” “ For being unselfish? ” “ For thinking we have power when we are im- potent."
hvd.hnp7lh	“ The light is rather strong, do n't you think? ” Mr. Harding said, when the two men had lit up.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ The link? ” said Malling, interrogatively.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Then did n't you know? ” She stared at him, turning her head swiftly.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Then, ” said Chichester, “ you think the lesson men learn from being contemplated tends only to destroy them?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Then, ” said Malling, “ you think that Mr. Harding changed you by his influence? ”"He helped me to develop, he brought me on.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ To evening church? ” “ Yes, yes."
hvd.hnp7lh	“ To- night it seems to me that you have altered a good deal. ” “ To- night? ” said the curate, as if with anx- iety.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Was it?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Well, Mr. Mal- ling?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What about my cup of tea, then? ” snapped Stepton.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What about?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What evidence has he rejected? ” he ex- claimed.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What is it?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What is that?".
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What makes you think so? ” “ It must.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What were you saying about our friend Chichester's sermon? ” he asked, with a forced air of interest.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What were your speculations?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ What's that about Malling? ”"I think he would have accepted what I have to give more readily than you would.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ When do I encourage clergymen to talk about psychical research? ” Malling could not help smiling.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Where is he, Thomas?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Where's the rector?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Which part?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Why have you selected me to be the hearer of this-- this very extraordinary statement? ” he forced himself at length to say prosaically.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Why not? ” “ Why not?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Why not? ” “ Why not?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Why not?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Why should there not be some hope?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Why? ” “ Because he understood doubt so well.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Will you take him this card and ask if I can see him?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Would n't you do just the opposite?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Yes,"said Malling; “ unless —"“ A thing almost impossible were to happen. ” “ May I, without indiscretion, ask what that is?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ Yes. ” “ How can one see if a soul is the double of an- other soul?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You are going? ” “ I must.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You are good enough to do me the honor of putting me in a class?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You are the Mr. Malling of whom Professor Stepton has spoken to me, ” he said, “ who has done so much experimental work for him?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You do n't object to my getting on this subject, I hope? ” he observed.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You do n't?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You have no objection, I hope?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You have seen him since he — altered?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You know a clergyman called Marcus Har- ding?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You know your way?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You live here? ” Mr. Harding took a small book and a pencil from his pocket and noted down the address.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You prefer seeing pictures alone, perhaps?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You said —?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You saw we were looking at the river?
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You think he needs one?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You think so? ” “ Do n't you?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You think so? ” “ Do n't you?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You typed it for your own use? ” said Stepton.
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You — you observe a difference?"
hvd.hnp7lh	“ You'll forgive me, but some such remark has been the prelude to so many figments. ” “ Figments?"
hvd.hnp7lh	” “ Say in psychical research? ” “ No."
hvd.hnp7lh	” “ Yes. ” “ I have. ” “ And do you believe in them?"
hvd.hwki4g	Why?
hvd.hwki4g	. “ Will we get to Chorillos before them?"
hvd.hwki4g	... A bracelet from the Lord knows where and the Lord knows whom? ” “ It is dear to me now, Dick.
hvd.hwki4g	... And what a peculiar bracelet. ” “ Do you not recognize it?"
hvd.hwki4g	... And yet what?
hvd.hwki4g	... Because they are going to eat him! ” “ Not really?
hvd.hwki4g	... Did you see my review?
hvd.hwki4g	... Do you mean to say that they kill her? ” “ They do.., as a sacrifice to the Sun. ” “ But how?
hvd.hwki4g	... Do you mean to say that they kill her? ” “ They do.., as a sacrifice to the Sun. ” “ But how?
hvd.hwki4g	... Hello, what's the matter?
hvd.hwki4g	... How can they possibly escape?
hvd.hwki4g	... How is your father?
hvd.hwki4g	... Really you? ” “ Maria- Teresa has been awfully ill, ” ex- plained the child, while the two old ladies cried.
hvd.hwki4g	... Well, Dick? ” “ Really, sir... 1... 1... hardly dared hope.
hvd.hwki4g	... Well, what are we looking so blue about over there?
hvd.hwki4g	... What do you think of it, Mr. Montgom- ery?"
hvd.hwki4g	... What does it matter, Father, now that we're all alive and happy?
hvd.hwki4g	... What does it mean?
hvd.hwki4g	... Why have they taken my big sister?
hvd.hwki4g	... Will you excuse me?"
hvd.hwki4g	... You thought he guessed nothing... that he did not understand what you had left behind you in London?
hvd.hwki4g	... what is the matter?"
hvd.hwki4g	..."“ Did n't you?
hvd.hwki4g	..."“ Doña Maria Teresa?
hvd.hwki4g	..."“ Have they got it in them? ” asked Mr. Mont- gomery.
hvd.hwki4g	..."“ What then? ” “ Then he drew a knife and came at me.
hvd.hwki4g	125 126 THE BRIDE OF THE SUN What could he do?
hvd.hwki4g	6 What do you think, Dick?"
hvd.hwki4g	A bank- clerk whom you may have had dealings with at Lima?
hvd.hwki4g	A fool or a traitor, which was he?
hvd.hwki4g	Am I in any danger? ”.
hvd.hwki4g	And how are you?
hvd.hwki4g	And now, which was it?
hvd.hwki4g	And then...?"
hvd.hwki4g	And they fell on their faces before her when she passed. ” “ You saw her, then?"
hvd.hwki4g	And they, hidden under their red ponchos, what could they do?
hvd.hwki4g	And wait for what?
hvd.hwki4g	Are they still there? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwki4g	Are you sure?
hvd.hwki4g	Atahualpa replied: “ Am I not a poor prisoner in your hands?
hvd.hwki4g	Both Maria Teresa and I agree that your little revenge was a very neat one. ” “ My revenge?
hvd.hwki4g	But do you know how many dead were found buried with the mummy of Huayna Capac?
hvd.hwki4g	But is it really you, Dick?
hvd.hwki4g	But now you must n't die any more, must you? ” “ I was there, Maria- Teresa.
hvd.hwki4g	But suppose Maria- Teresa was not dead after all?
hvd.hwki4g	But was she still living?
hvd.hwki4g	But we are always doing it. ” “ In what way?"
hvd.hwki4g	But we did not expect you till to- morrow. ” “ We made rather a good passage.?!
hvd.hwki4g	But what did they come here for? ” Don Christobal, drawn from the smoking.
hvd.hwki4g	But what does it all mean?
hvd.hwki4g	But what else can I do?
hvd.hwki4g	But what had given the others'the alarm?
hvd.hwki4g	But what made you leave your post?
hvd.hwki4g	But what of Maria Cristina de Orellana? ” “ Oh, that was another matter... a very sad case.
hvd.hwki4g	But what was their secret?
hvd.hwki4g	But where was he to press, where strike?
hvd.hwki4g	But why are they still not here?
hvd.hwki4g	But, if so, why did she not open her eyes?
hvd.hwki4g	But, tell me, how did it all happen? ” “ The old, old way.
hvd.hwki4g	By fire? ” “ No, it is even more horrible than that.
hvd.hwki4g	By the way, do you know anything about fishing?"
hvd.hwki4g	Can we count on your neutrality?"
hvd.hwki4g	Can you count, or ca n't you?
hvd.hwki4g	Christians, this crowd?
hvd.hwki4g	Clear enough, is n't it?
hvd.hwki4g	Could he force that house alone?
hvd.hwki4g	Could it be that the Indians were masters of the country now?
hvd.hwki4g	Could there be horses in that deserted bodega?
hvd.hwki4g	Did n't you, Father?
hvd.hwki4g	Did some early Christian adventurers, then, found the twin em pires of the Americas?
hvd.hwki4g	Did you see what I did?
hvd.hwki4g	Do I look as if I were going to such a ceremony?
hvd.hwki4g	Do n't you know the In- dians always bury people sitting?
hvd.hwki4g	Do they look as if they wanted sleep?
hvd.hwki4g	Do they not eat, drink, and get married just as they did five centuries ago?
hvd.hwki4g	Do you know what kind of fighting they have been doing in the mountains?
hvd.hwki4g	Do you know what they call me in Lima now?
hvd.hwki4g	Do you know who this god is? ” He pointed to the bas- reliefs which covered the stone.
hvd.hwki4g	Do you understand now?
hvd.hwki4g	Do you understand?"
hvd.hwki4g	Effective, eh? ” 168 THE BRIDE OF THE SUN During all this verbiage, Garcia was thinking hard, and watching the new- comers'faces.
hvd.hwki4g	Had she anything to fear from Huas- car?
hvd.hwki4g	Had you not been warned?
hvd.hwki4g	He went on immediately afterwards. ” “ Do I need somebody to keep watch over me, then?
hvd.hwki4g	Her second baby was born just before we left. ”"And dear smoky old London?"
hvd.hwki4g	Her voice hardened as she asked: 8 THE BRIDE OF THE SUN “ Where did it happen... in the Northern Islands? ” “ No, at Chincha."
hvd.hwki4g	How can a child be- ware of his words?
hvd.hwki4g	How could she recognize him in that crowd?
hvd.hwki4g	How dared those strangers come there at such a time?
hvd.hwki4g	How were they moved?
hvd.hwki4g	I and my clothes by Zarate?
hvd.hwki4g	I ca n't have all my coolies killed off like that. ” “ And what of Huascar? ” “ He will do as he pleases.
hvd.hwki4g	I pre- sume you searched the house? ” “ If I forced that house, Excellency, every one of our Quichua soldiers would rise.
hvd.hwki4g	I shall never employ another one. ” “ Would n't that make trouble? ” “ It might!
hvd.hwki4g	I sup- pose you've heard?
hvd.hwki4g	I suppose it would be bad form to climb in through the window?
hvd.hwki4g	If their outward cus- toms have not changed, why should their secret rites have done so?
hvd.hwki4g	Is it not so, Guardians of the Temple? ” The three horrible skulls swayed gently.
hvd.hwki4g	Is it possible?
hvd.hwki4g	It had been there half an hour. ” “ Was the hood up?"
hvd.hwki4g	It really was not you?"
hvd.hwki4g	Maria- Teresa! ” “ How did he come here?
hvd.hwki4g	Montgomery?"
hvd.hwki4g	Now, when Atahualpa, with six thousand men, had reached the great square without seeing a single white man, he asked:"Where are the strangers?'
hvd.hwki4g	Or neither?
hvd.hwki4g	Re- build the Empire of the Incas? ” “ They do n't know what they want, ” replied Maria- Teresa.
hvd.hwki4g	Señor, we know it! ” “ And, pray, who are you, señor? ” demanded the Marquis brutally, exasperated by the stran.
hvd.hwki4g	Splendid, was n't it?
hvd.hwki4g	Suppose what was true? ” de- manded the Marquis, refusing to understand.
hvd.hwki4g	THE BRİDE OF THE SUN 187 What good purpose would that serve?
hvd.hwki4g	That THE BRIDE OF THE SUN 241 these fêtes, striving to recall an abolished past, could only last the space of a day?
hvd.hwki4g	That the sun of to- morrow, forgetting that of to- day, would only shine anew on their servitude?
hvd.hwki4g	That they were slaves?
hvd.hwki4g	The Virgin of the Sun! ” 6 What does that mean? ” “ Aunt Agnes and Aunt Irene will explain bet- ter than I can.
hvd.hwki4g	The bracelet! ” “ What bracelet? ” At this moment Maria- Teresa and Dick joined the group.
hvd.hwki4g	The mammaconas?
hvd.hwki4g	The tomb on the right or that on the left?
hvd.hwki4g	Then what does it all mean?
hvd.hwki4g	There the monk who had spoken to Atahualpa rejoined the Stranger, and said to him: “ Do you not see that we wrestle in vain with this dog's pride?
hvd.hwki4g	They have been digging up all sorts of things. ” “ And so he has been angry with you? ” “ He seems to think he has every reason to be.
hvd.hwki4g	Thirty of them, are there?
hvd.hwki4g	This Indian unrest recurs every ten years. ” “ Why every ten years?"
hvd.hwki4g	Was it only another instance of the ex- traordinary mingling of cults and creeds so often seen, or did it go even further back?
hvd.hwki4g	Was it possible?
hvd.hwki4g	We are following them, are we not?
hvd.hwki4g	Well, why do n't you say some- thing?"
hvd.hwki4g	Were they all engaged in a huge practical joke at his expense?
hvd.hwki4g	Were they here then? ” The scientist, intensely interested, urged his mount alongside Natividad's.
hvd.hwki4g	Were they, or were they not, ambassadors from Veintemilla?
hvd.hwki4g	What can it matter? ” Dick, completely taken aback, clasped the bracelet on Maria- Teresa's wrist without pro- test.
hvd.hwki4g	What could he do?
hvd.hwki4g	What could it all mean?
hvd.hwki4g	What danger could there be?
hvd.hwki4g	What did Garcia say?"
hvd.hwki4g	What did it all mean?
hvd.hwki4g	What did it all mean?
hvd.hwki4g	What do you mean, man?"
hvd.hwki4g	What do you mean, señor?
hvd.hwki4g	What do you mean?
hvd.hwki4g	What do you think I brought this pick for?
hvd.hwki4g	What does it hide, and what is that crowd await- ing?
hvd.hwki4g	What does it mean? ” “ It means that they are in the Antechamber of Death. ” BOOK V THE HOUSE OF THE SERPENT MARIA TERESA opened her eyes.
hvd.hwki4g	What else should they do?"
hvd.hwki4g	What for?
hvd.hwki4g	What had happened to Uncle Francis, Don Christobal and Natividad?
hvd.hwki4g	What has happened?
hvd.hwki4g	What is this miracle?
hvd.hwki4g	What kind of a man was this?
hvd.hwki4g	What must they remember?
hvd.hwki4g	What was Huascar doing there, at that time of night, with that strange Indian?
hvd.hwki4g	What was that?"
hvd.hwki4g	What was their plan?
hvd.hwki4g	What was their secret?
hvd.hwki4g	What was this dream from which she had awakened, or into which she had fallen?
hvd.hwki4g	What?
hvd.hwki4g	Where can we get horses?"
hvd.hwki4g	Where did that sign come from?
hvd.hwki4g	Where is she?
hvd.hwki4g	Where was he?
hvd.hwki4g	Where was the dungeon that held them, and what was to be their fate?
hvd.hwki4g	Where were the others now?
hvd.hwki4g	Where were they all now?
hvd.hwki4g	Where's the door?
hvd.hwki4g	Which way will they come?
hvd.hwki4g	Who is it?"
hvd.hwki4g	Who put them there?
hvd.hwki4g	Who was the other?
hvd.hwki4g	Why Huascar? ” asked the Mar- quis.
hvd.hwki4g	Why had they not gone to him?
hvd.hwki4g	Why not, after all?
hvd.hwki4g	Why should I do so, knowing that I should be the first to suffer if my people rose?
hvd.hwki4g	Why should a madman not be his guide?
hvd.hwki4g	Why should she fear?
hvd.hwki4g	Why should we suppose that the Indians have changed?
hvd.hwki4g	Why were they pointing at her tent?
hvd.hwki4g	Why were you not with your mistress, at your post? ” “ I meant no harm, señor.
hvd.hwki4g	Why, señor, why?
hvd.hwki4g	Why- why did they not come to her rescue?
hvd.hwki4g	Why?
hvd.hwki4g	With such a program, is there any need for par- liaments? ” “ No!
hvd.hwki4g	Wo n't I be in the way, though?
hvd.hwki4g	Would he accept a compromise, if they came to offer it?
hvd.hwki4g	Would it interest you to visit our latest excava- tions at Ancon to- morrow?
hvd.hwki4g	Yes, that was it... why not try here?
hvd.hwki4g	You know that, of course?
hvd.hwki4g	You say that my soldiers are guarding the house?
hvd.hwki4g	and the kiddies?
hvd.hwki4g	“ A place to see from?
hvd.hwki4g	“ And how is May?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ And might I ask why you are pleased to re- call all these things? ” demanded Don Christo- bal haughtily.
hvd.hwki4g	“ And the little boy? ” asked Maria- Teresa.
hvd.hwki4g	“ And they still go in for human sacrifice?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ And what is the name? ” questioned Maria- Teresa.
hvd.hwki4g	“ And what of the Island coolies?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ And where is your father, my dear? ” asked Uncle Francis, still with a wary eye on his lug- gage.
hvd.hwki4g	“ And who did you make the bargain with?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Are you always my friend, Huascar?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Are you serious?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Because of the festival of the Interaymi. ” “ And what on earth is that? ” 16 THE BRIDE OF THE SUN “ The Festival of the Sun.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Burn her?
hvd.hwki4g	“ But how do they get from Cuzco to the Tem- ple of Death?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ But surely you are not going to keep that thing on?
hvd.hwki4g	“ But the dead man... and the wounded?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ But what were the Indians doing all this time? ” asked Dick, approaching in his turn.
hvd.hwki4g	“ But what will your father say when he finds out who really sent the bracelet? ” “ He will forgive you.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Child, will you come with me?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Did n't I tell you there were a hun- dred there?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Did you enjoy the crossing? ” The gangways were run out, and they went on board.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Did you, then, ever think that we might not catch them? ” asked Uncle Francis of Natividad, with an enigmatical smile.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Do they? ” “ You, señor, are a savant, and know about the Temple of Death.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Do you do a great deal of motoring out here?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Do you not know, then?
hvd.hwki4g	“ How many of them are there in the coun- try?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ How on earth was it that they were not simply wiped out by the Incas?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Huascar?
hvd.hwki4g	“ I am not surprised Don Alonso had to go to Cajamarca for that one. ” “ Where is Cajamarca? ” asked Dick.
hvd.hwki4g	“ I suppose they have sent troops against them?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ I?
hvd.hwki4g	“ If they ever overhaul the Indians, they are lost. ” “ What are we going to do now?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Is this llama- riding common over here? ” questioned the scientist, intent on acquiring knowledge.
hvd.hwki4g	“ It must be hard for him to leave. ” “ I suppose so. ” “ And you would n't do anything to keep him?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ It really is strange,"murmured Maria- Teresa, “ not an Indian in sight! ” “ Do they generally come to this part of the city, then?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ It was raining hard when last I saw it. ” “ But where is your uncle?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Maria- Teresa?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Money?
hvd.hwki4g	“ No, señor, he did not see me. ” “ Did you see your mistress?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Not a word, señorita. ” « Who paid them off? ” “ They refused to take any money.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Now on leave from your bank? ” queried the Marquis, almost insolently.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Oh, are they at it here as well?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Right away?".
hvd.hwki4g	“ Si, señor, Libertad. ” “ Did he say anything to you as he went past?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ So you really have not forgotten? ” “ Could you believe it, dear? ” “ Well, you were so long in coming."
hvd.hwki4g	“ So you really have not forgotten? ” “ Could you believe it, dear? ” “ Well, you were so long in coming."
hvd.hwki4g	“ So you thought your old father was blind, eh?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Speak, sir,"he said;"time passes. ” “ Have you any money?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ That bracelet was the real one... the same one that was sent to Amelia. ” “ Are you not exaggerating, Agnes?

hvd.hwki4g	“ Then Huascar was there? ” “ Yes, señorita.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Was it in trying to save your mistress?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Was she no longer unconscious?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ We are sure to catch them, are we not? ” “ Of a surety, señor.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Well, and how is business?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Well, and how is business? ” “ So, so.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Well, and what are you waiting for, major?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Well, has anybody ever had definite proof of it?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Well?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ What are you going to do with that? ” “ Save my daughter, of course!
hvd.hwki4g	“ What are you looking for? ” asked the old man.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What did he say?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ What did you see? ” “ There, on the balcony, staring through the panes.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What do they want to do, then?
hvd.hwki4g	“ What do you desire, señor? ” he asked in a toneless voice.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What does the President think of it all? ” “ He does not seem to worry a great deal.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What else? ” Garcia was nervously twist- ing his mustache.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What happened to you? ” asked Natividad.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What has happened? ” asked the Marquis.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What motor?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ What must we do? ”.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What was that? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hwki4g	“ What were you doing here?
hvd.hwki4g	“ What?
hvd.hwki4g	“ What?
hvd.hwki4g	“ What?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ When did you first know the date chosen?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ When you went out to drink, was the motor already waiting?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Where are your friends?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Where did they take Maria- Teresa? ” de- manded Dick, roughly, though he owed the un- conscious tracker more thanks than blame.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Where is Maria- Teresa? ” shouted the Mar- quis as he caught sight of Dick, and ran toward him.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Where is your mistress? ” A feeble hand pointed toward the sierra, and Dick stood away from the dying man.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Where is your mistress?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Where? ” Dick took a sudden interest.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Who from, I wonder?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Who is Oviedo Runtu?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Who is it?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Who on earth is that? ” he wondered.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Who was driving?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why are there no Indians in the town to- day?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why are you alone?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why did you and yours commit the crime of not watching over them?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why do you stop here? ” asked the stranger.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why else should Huascar come to see me?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why have you and yours committed this crime? ” he questioned, crossing his arms.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why is that, I wonder? ” “ Because of the festival, ” interjected Aunt Agnes.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why minus nine? ” questioned Maria- Teresa.
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why not, señor?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why this hurry?"
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why worry?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Why?
hvd.hwki4g	“ Will the señorita sign here? ” Maria- Teresa, having signed, was turning the box over in her fingers.
hvd.hwki4g	“ You did not wait, señor?

hvd.hnp3g7	176 THE YELLOW STREAK “ Do you know, ” he asked, “ whether the police or anybody have been through the desk?"

hvd.hnp3g7	About the lady, is n't that right?"
hvd.hnp3g7	And I wondered..."« Well?"
hvd.hnp3g7	And after the shot was fired there was a crash? ” “ A sort of thud- like something heavy fall.
hvd.hnp3g7	And he made a point of looking for it..."“ But how do you know that Parrish had it on the pistol?
hvd.hnp3g7	And how is my merry company commander?
hvd.hnp3g7	As a matter o'fact, sir, the sweep was ordered for to- day..."« Why?"

hvd.hnp3g7	Besides I've got a friend there..."158 THE YELLOW STREAK “ Who might that be? ” queried the barrister.
hvd.hnp3g7	Bude heard them talking with voices raised aloud..."“ But if the door were locked?"
hvd.hnp3g7	But I left it where I found it-on Parrish's desk in the library..."“ But you read it... you know what was in it?
hvd.hnp3g7	But had n't Miss Trevert better tell her story herself?"
hvd.hnp3g7	But his face displayed no emotion as he asked: “ And what was in the letter for him to make such a fuss about? ” The boy shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hnp3g7	But how can we tell how much he knows? ” Robin flicked the ash off his cigarette disdain- fully.
hvd.hnp3g7	But is n't Miss Trevert going to sit down? ” He cleared the sofa with a sweep of his arm which sent the books flying on to the floor.
hvd.hnp3g7	But then what do I — what does any one- know of Mr. Parrish's former life?"
hvd.hnp3g7	But was there anything else?
hvd.hnp3g7	But why do you ask? ” “ Oh, nothing,"answered Robin nonchalantly.
hvd.hnp3g7	But why have you come back?
hvd.hnp3g7	But why?
hvd.hnp3g7	But why? ” “ Whom did he tell this to?"
hvd.hnp3g7	But why? ” “ Whom did he tell this to?"
hvd.hnp3g7	But why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	But wo n't you come in, Mr. Wright?
hvd.hnp3g7	But, if you do go to Holland, how are you going to set about your enquiries? ” “ That's where you can help me, Euan, dear,"answered the girl.
hvd.hnp3g7	By Jove! ” “ What happened? ” said Robin.
hvd.hnp3g7	Counter- espionage, is n't he?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Did I understand you to say that you were uneasy about this lady?
hvd.hnp3g7	Did she hear the shot he fired at his murderer? ” “ By Gad! ” exclaimed Bruce Wright impres- sively, “ I believe you've got it, Robin!
hvd.hnp3g7	Did she tell you this? ”"No,"said Manderton; “ I heard him tell her myself."
hvd.hnp3g7	Did you ever know a man who could best him?
hvd.hnp3g7	Did you take my advice and have some tea? ” “ What has happened?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Did you take my advice and have some tea? ” “ What has happened?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Do I know him? ” Still the girl was silent, but she gave a hardly perceptible nod.
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you feel it?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you realize that every scrap of evidence points to you as being the man that visited Mr. Parrish in the library this afternoon?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you realize that you have dragged my sister into this wretched busi- ness?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you see it incriminates you?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you see what I mean?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you think it is rather hard on an old friend to turn him away just when you most want him?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you understand that her name will be bandied about before a lot of rotten yokels at the inquest?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Do n't you use your eyes?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you THE CODE KING 219 know any one?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you know them? ” “ I've heard the name.
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you mean Parrish's secretary?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you think we can go on for ever like this, living on credit and dodging tradesmen?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you understand, Bruce?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you understand?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you understand?
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you understand?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you want it plainer than that? ” Robin took a step back and looked at his friend.
hvd.hnp3g7	Do you want me to find out from them?
hvd.hnp3g7	Does your mother know about it? ” The girl shook her head.
hvd.hnp3g7	Eef you come, hein?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Fear of what?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Firstly, how long were you out on your stroll in the dark?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Firstly, who saw Mr. Hartley Par- rish last: and at what time? ” Horace Trevert looked at Greve.
hvd.hnp3g7	For you understand, do n't you? ” he said briskly, turning to Robin, “ that they were after that and that alone.
hvd.hnp3g7	Had Bude got the note?
hvd.hnp3g7	Had Mr. Greve got a passport?
hvd.hnp3g7	Had he used that knowledge to threaten his rival?
hvd.hnp3g7	Had n't the police better take the matter in hand? ” “ Police be damned! ” replied Dulkinghorn heartily.
hvd.hnp3g7	Has Bude told you what he heard after I had passed him in the hall? ” Interest flashed at once into the detective's face.
hvd.hnp3g7	Has he left nothing behind in writing?
hvd.hnp3g7	Has n't he cross- examined Jay?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Have you any idea why he should have done this thing?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Have you examined the body?
hvd.hnp3g7	Have you got this letter about you?
hvd.hnp3g7	Having a little experiment, eh? ”.
hvd.hnp3g7	Having a row with Mr. Parrish, eh?
hvd.hnp3g7	He left the dining- room directly after he had taken his coffee. ” “ Where did he go? ” “ He came here to work.
hvd.hnp3g7	He snatched the letter out of my hand, called me every name under the sun, and finally shouted: “ You're fired, d’ye hear?
hvd.hnp3g7	Holland is on your beat, ai n't it, Euan?
hvd.hnp3g7	How did you get in?
hvd.hnp3g7	How? ” Greve stood opposite the doctor in the centre of the library.
hvd.hnp3g7	Hullo, hullo, who the devil's that?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Hullo, what do all these people want?
hvd.hnp3g7	I meant in what way do you propose to make use of my... my local knowledge?"
hvd.hnp3g7	I suppose, now, you tried the handle first. ” “ Oh, yes..."“ Then Mr. Parrish would have heard the two sounds?
hvd.hnp3g7	I take it, then, that any allowance that Parrish was in the habit of making to this woman has ceased?"
hvd.hnp3g7	I tell you... bah, what's the use?
hvd.hnp3g7	I was there for a few minutes as I had to write a cheque..."“ And where is your bedroom?"
hvd.hnp3g7	I wonder where Greve is?
hvd.hnp3g7	I'd shut up all noospapers by law if I had my way..."“ Is Mr. Jeekes here, Bude?"
hvd.hnp3g7	If, on the other hand, he was murdered, may not that letter have contained a warning?"
hvd.hnp3g7	In these circumstances, my lady..."Well?
hvd.hnp3g7	Is it absolutely necessary?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Is n't that the way you figure it out?".
hvd.hnp3g7	Is that all right? ” “ Certainly, ” said Mary.
hvd.hnp3g7	Is that it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Is that right?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Is there any mystery about her journey?
hvd.hnp3g7	Is this the doctor?
hvd.hnp3g7	It ca n't be true? ” The girl nodded, her eyes to the ground.
hvd.hnp3g7	It embarrasses me very much..."“ What are you keeping back from me, Mr. Jeekes? ” the girl demanded imperiously.
hvd.hnp3g7	It was an ordinary business letter from a firm in Holland..."“ In Holland? ” cried Greve.
hvd.hnp3g7	It was rather stuffy, so I thought I'd like some air before tea! ” “ You left Miss Trevert in the billiard- room?"
hvd.hnp3g7	It's for Tuesday, is n't it?
hvd.hnp3g7	Jay has looked all through his things without finding it..."“ When did Jay see it last?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Jay, will you see to it?
hvd.hnp3g7	Just as I tried the door- it was locked, you know- there was a sort of hiss, harsh and rather loud, from the room..."“ A sort of hiss, eh?
hvd.hnp3g7	Manderton,"— Robin spoke with a cer- tain hauteur, — “ do n't you think we might leave Miss Trevert's name out of this?"
hvd.hnp3g7	May it not refer to that letter?
hvd.hnp3g7	Miss Trevert will have to give evidence, I take it?
hvd.hnp3g7	No account of the crime? ” “ Not a thing, ” responded the Chief,"and I've THE FIGURE IN THE DOORWAY 309 Robin Greve looked at her quickly.
hvd.hnp3g7	No, I've thought of that... it wo n't do..."“ Have you any suspicion of who the murderer might be? ” Robin shook his head decidedly.
hvd.hnp3g7	No, no, Mary, it is n't true?
hvd.hnp3g7	Not while you were knock- ing?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Now, what can I do for you?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Or who?
hvd.hnp3g7	Or would you rather be left alone? ” His firm, pleasant voice greatly comforted her.
hvd.hnp3g7	Our friend has been trying to set Miss Trevert against me, eh?
hvd.hnp3g7	Parrish crossed me in the hall and gave me particular instructions that he was not to be disturbed. ” “ That was at what time?
hvd.hnp3g7	Robin..."“ What, Bruce? ” “ I think he was being blackmailed! ” The barrister nodded thoughtfully.
hvd.hnp3g7	Romain? ” he queried, peering through his gold spectacles, “ the butler said..."“ No, my name is Greve,"answered Robin.
hvd.hnp3g7	San JEEKES 137 “ These payments are still going on?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Savvy? ” The boy stood up.
hvd.hnp3g7	Should he dive into a Tube station and plunge headlong down the steps?
hvd.hnp3g7	So Jeekes had been telling tales out of school to Mr. Victor, had he?
hvd.hnp3g7	Something like a sneeze?".
hvd.hnp3g7	That'll do the trick, eh, what? ” He paced the room as he talked, not waiting for an answer, but running on as though he were soliloquizing.
hvd.hnp3g7	That's for Toosday! ” “ But is n't there another key anywhere? ” per- sisted the boy.
hvd.hnp3g7	That's so, is n't it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	The first thing he did on arriving last night was to go to the library. ” “ I suppose Jeekes is coming back here to- night? ” No, she told him.
hvd.hnp3g7	The turning of the handle and then the knocking on the door?
hvd.hnp3g7	Then Mr. Dulkinghorn, ni is he.., that too?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Then he said aloud to Jay: “ Did you tell the police about this?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Then leaning forward he added in a low voice: “ Have you ever heard of the Maxim silencer?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Then, “ What letter do you mean? ” he asked composedly.
hvd.hnp3g7	There I turned and came back to the front door. ” “ And you assert that you heard nothing?"
hvd.hnp3g7	There was a piece in one of the papers about him to- day — perhaps you saw it?
hvd.hnp3g7	Understand?"
hvd.hnp3g7	VOICES IN THE LIBRARY 73 a turn, he did, when I saw his face under the hall lamp..."“ Did you stay there so i and listen? ” Bude drew himself up.
hvd.hnp3g7	Was it a patent sight or something?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Was it not a fact that you and Miss Tre- vert had words? ” He looked up sharply at him with contracted pupils.
hvd.hnp3g7	Was she blackmailing... him? ” “ No, no,"Mr. Jeekes averred hastily.
hvd.hnp3g7	Was she free to love?
hvd.hnp3g7	Was there a bead on it or anything like it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Was there, in effect, any mystery about Mary's trip to Rotter- dam accompanied by her cousin?
hvd.hnp3g7	What a piece of luck, eh? ” Robin heard the click of the car door as it swung open.
hvd.hnp3g7	What conceivable motive could he have had?
hvd.hnp3g7	What do you make of it, Mr. Greve? ” “ It beats me,"was Robin's rueful comment.
hvd.hnp3g7	What do you mean by saying you have come for the same purpose as myself? ” Bruce Wright looked at the array of letter- trays.
hvd.hnp3g7	What do you want here... in this horrible room?"
hvd.hnp3g7	What do you want in this house? ” She spoke quickly, nervously.
hvd.hnp3g7	What does he want?"
hvd.hnp3g7	What had Robin done after he had left her that afternoon with his final taunt?
hvd.hnp3g7	What had Robin done?
hvd.hnp3g7	What had driven Hartley Par- rish to suicide?
hvd.hnp3g7	What has happened?
hvd.hnp3g7	What have I done? ” “ Done? ” exclaimed the young man heatedly.
hvd.hnp3g7	What have I done? ” “ Done? ” exclaimed the young man heatedly.
hvd.hnp3g7	What if, after all, everything was open and above- board, and she had merely come to Rotter- dam on business?
hvd.hnp3g7	What is it? ” rapped out Dr. Romain irritably.
hvd.hnp3g7	What makes you think any- body else had access to Mr. Parrish before the shot was heard? ” Bude made a little resigned gesture of the hands.
hvd.hnp3g7	What possible, probable motive had Hartley Parrish for taking his own life?
hvd.hnp3g7	What precisely are you accusing me of?
hvd.hnp3g7	What sort of a confidential emissary was he to fall into a simple trap like this?
hvd.hnp3g7	What wo n't you discuss with me?"
hvd.hnp3g7	What's become of Lady Margaret?
hvd.hnp3g7	When I say I have n't seen or spoken to Hartley Parrish since lunch this afternoon, that is the truth! ” “ How can it be the truth?"
hvd.hnp3g7	When do you go next?"
hvd.hnp3g7	When you got into the library yesterday evening through the window, you smashed the glass, did n't you? ” Horace Trevert nodded.
hvd.hnp3g7	When you heard the shot in the library at Harkings, did you notice any other sound — before or after?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Where are you stayin'?
hvd.hnp3g7	Where can we talk?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Where did Mr. Parrish buy it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Where did you get hold of it? ” “ Bruce,"said Robin gravely, without answer- ing the question,"we're getting into deep water, boy!"
hvd.hnp3g7	Where do we go first? ” “ Into the sitting- room, ” Robin returned.
hvd.hnp3g7	Where were you at that time? ” “ In my bedroom, I should say.
hvd.hnp3g7	Where would her investigations lead her?
hvd.hnp3g7	Where's Bude? ” Robin Greve turned quickly.
hvd.hnp3g7	Which, having got all he wanted, he was glad enough to do! ” “ What was this chap like? ” asked Robin.
hvd.hnp3g7	Who had closed it?
hvd.hnp3g7	Who is Marbran, sir?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Why did he do it? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hnp3g7	Why did he pick me?
hvd.hnp3g7	Why should I find this out from Bude?
hvd.hnp3g7	Why should he have done this?.
hvd.hnp3g7	Why should n't the police see it?
hvd.hnp3g7	Why should not this be the key?
hvd.hnp3g7	Why should you put these ideas into the heads of the police?
hvd.hnp3g7	Why was n't I informed?
hvd.hnp3g7	Why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Will that be all, Miss?"
hvd.hnp3g7	Will you promise? ” « Of course! ” She took Bruce's outstretched hand.

hvd.hnp3g7	« That's rather a tall order, is n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3g7	« This Mr. Greve? ” Bude and Jay fell back as Robin joined the group.
hvd.hnp3g7	« Well? ” Dulkinghorn snapped out the question.
hvd.hnp3g7	« What?"
hvd.hnp3g7	« Yes! ” “ Why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	» she cried, stamping her foot; “ how dare he?
hvd.hnp3g7	‘ Do you?'
hvd.hnp3g7	“ A letter which lay on H. P.'s desk in the library at Harkings when they found the body..."“ There was a letter there then..?".

hvd.hnp3g7	“ Aha! ” he cried- and his voice rang out clear through the room — “ the grill, eh?

hvd.hnp3g7	“ And a devilish good match, eh, Horace?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And he went straight to the library? ” “ Straight away, Mr. Humphries, sir,"broke in Bude.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And then you heard this crash?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And what about the inquest?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And what are you going to do now, Mr. Jeekes? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And why not, may I ask?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And you say it was not on the pistol when Mr. Parrish's body was found? ” “ No, sir! ” “ Are you sure of this?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ And you say it was not on the pistol when Mr. Parrish's body was found? ” “ No, sir! ” “ Are you sure of this?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Any sign of Lady Margaret or Mary yet? ” The doctor had risen hastily to his feet.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Are n't you going rather too fast?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Are you going to settle with Marbran or are you not? ” I said.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Are you in the habit, sir,"— the detective turned to Robin now,"of going out for walks in the dark? ” Greve shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Are you mad, Robin?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ At what time did you come along this corri- dor, sir? ” he asked Robin.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ At what time was that? ”"When I came in.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Automobile?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Bude, you say, makes this statement?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But how do we know that the glass door was open? ” queried the detective sceptically.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But how?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But in the meantime,"— he waved the blue sheet with its mysterious slots at Robin,- 6 what do you make of this?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But what grounds have you for saying that Mr. Greve went in to Mr. Parrish?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But what was this steel contraption for, do you know?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But who is he?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But why are you hiding here?

hvd.hnp3g7	“ But, ” he pursued, jerking his head in the di- rection of the window, “ what are we going to do about him out there? ” Robin laughed.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ But, ” said Mary in a puzzled way,"why do you say it was Mr. Greve if you did n't hear his voice?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Certainly! ” “ To whom, may I ask? ” He spoke sharply and there was a challenging ring in his voice.

hvd.hnp3g7	“ Dead? ” queried Trevert.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Did anybody else see Mr. Parrish in spite of his orders?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Did you have the wire from the Yard saying I was coming? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Did you hear it?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Did you say Maxim?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Did you say in Holland?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Did you'ear me, sir? ” asked the sergeant, who seemed very much relieved to be quit of his task.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Do n't you agree?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Do you happen to know whether Mr. Parrish had any business worries?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Do you know for certain whether Mr. Jeekes was in here? ” asked Bruce.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Do you know the In- spector?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Done?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Fear?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Go on, ” said Robin quickly;"what are you waiting for, man?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Gone to the Continent?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Good God, Doctor! ” he cried, “ what's this Bude tells me?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Good God, man! ” he exclaimed, “ do you ac- cept this theory of suicide as blandly as all that?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Has he gone out?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Has it ever occurred to you, Robin,"he said presently, “ that practically nothing is known of H. P.'s antecedents?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Have n't you got it? ” Jeekes shook his head."
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Have you seen it?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Him? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ How are you, Jay? ” said Bruce affably.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ How dare he?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ I expect you know that! ” “ Do you know where she lives?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ I mean, did you hear any more? ” “ No, Miss.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ I suppose you know they're still outside? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ I think you said you could not hear the ser- geant with the library door shut? ” queried Rob.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ If you are my friend,"she cried,"why ca n't you trust me?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ If you have n't got this letter,"he observed, “ what has become of it?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Is it far? ” “ Only just outside Rotterdam,"the voice re- sponded.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Is n't it something to do with a motor engine? ” “ No,"said Bruce.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Is that the paper those letters were written on? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Is the detective anywhere about? ” asked Bruce.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ It is dark at five o'clock?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ It is important?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ It was Miss Trevert, you say, who found the body? ” “ No,"Greve replied.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ It would be when he left us after lunch, would n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ It's Bruce Wright, Miss Trevert, ” he said, “ do n't you remember me?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ It's not there? ” queried the girl eagerly.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Jeekes?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Just hold that to the fire, would you, Euan? ” he said, and gave MacTavish the board.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Like the letter I read, eh?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Mary Trevert, her mother, Horace Trevert..."“ The police, too?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ May I come up and see you?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Mees Trevert?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Miss Trevert! ” “ Miss Trevert?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Miss Trevert?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Motor- car?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ My dear Doc, ” he said, “ are n't you going a bit fast?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ My dear Mary ” – it was Lady Margaret's smooth and pleasant voice which broke the silence-"whatever is the matter?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ My dear girl,"he said, trying to control him- self to speak quietly, “ what do you know about this man?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ My dear,"he said, “ I know what an awful shock you've had..."212 THE YELLOW STREAK “ You've heard about it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ No, sir. ” “ Why not? ” Jay looked at Mary Trevert.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Not...?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Of Rotterdam?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Oh, Miss,"he answered, almost in a whisper, “ whatever are you saying? ” “ I want your answer, Bude, ” the girl said coldly.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Oh, my dear, ” he whispered, kissing her hair, « do n't you care a little?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Oh, sir, ” he cried, “ whatever is it?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Oh, sir,"he said breathlessly, addressing Greve, “ what ever has happened to Mr. Parrish?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ On Thursday! ” “ But are you sure that this is the same pistol as the one which Jay has been in the habit of seeing?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Poor old H. P., eh? ” mused young Wright; o who'd have thought it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Poor old H. P., eh? ” mused young Wright; o who'd have thought it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ See who's there, will you, Bruce? ” said Robin.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Six or seven months ago..."“ Did Jeekes know about it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ So you saw Miss Trevert at Harkings, eh? ” Bruce laughed.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ So! ” he said, “ we'll leave that to dry and see if we can find out any little secrets, eh?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Sui- cide?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ That you, Mary? ” Robin was speaking.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ The shot, then, was fired immediately after you had knocked?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ There ca n't be any harm in my just going in for a sec- ond?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ There was a letter, too, on the same paper..."“ By Gad! ” exclaimed the boy eagerly, “ have you got that too? ” Robin shook his head.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ This was six or seven months ago, you say?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Tuff- Tuff? ” Very slowly a grin suffused the carter's grimy face.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Was his health good?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Was the window bolted?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Was there anything more, Miss? ” he asked after a little while.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ We might make enquiries in South Africa?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Well, now,"cried the doctor breezily, “ and how are you feeling?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Well, sir, Mr. Parrish had mentioned it to me..."“ When?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Well,"said Horace, dropping into a chair, “ he's gone! ” “ Who?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Well?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Well? ” snapped Humphries.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Well?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Were there any other finger- prints except Horace's on the outside?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What did you hear? ” he said sharply.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What did you say to Hartley Parrish after you left me this afternoon in the billiard- room?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What do you know about this? ” he de- manded fiercely.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What does it all mean?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What in hell does this mean, Jeekes? ” His voice quavered no longer.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What is it, Bude?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What is n't?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What time was that? ” “ A little after five.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What was it, do you know?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What was that? ” the girl called out sharply.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What's all this about blackmail being levied from Holland?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What's that? ” he cried assertively.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What's the good of telling me not to cry? ” she protested tearfully; “ I've disgraced myself in my own eyes as well as in yours.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What's the use of talking? ” he said.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What's this cock- and- bull story about gas you've put up to the manager? ” he said bluntly in a low voice.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What's this rot about Parrish having com- mitted suicide?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ What, then, do you know that is likely to get anybody here into trouble? ” The butler hesitated an instant.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ When did she die?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ When did you last notice Mr. Parrish's auto- matic?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Where are you staying, Mary? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Where on earth has everybody got to?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who could have wanted to kill poor Hartley?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who else should it have been, Miss?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who is it?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who is it?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who is that?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who told you?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Who's there? ” Mr. Jeekes got up and walked over to the door.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why do you say that to me? ” he demanded rather fiercely.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why on earth should Jeekes blacken his employer's character to Miss Trevert?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why should he have done it?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why undoubtedly?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why, Horace, what's the matter? ” Robin put his hand on young Trevert's shoulder.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why, Mary, ” exclaimed the Major, “ what on earth brings you round to me on a night like this?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why,"asked Bruce boldly, “ did old H. P. make such a mystery about these letters on the slatey- blue paper, Mr. Jeekes?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why? ” her mother asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Why?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Will men ever understand women?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Will you do something for me? ” she said.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Wo n't you look at me, Mary? ” There was a hint of huskiness in his voice.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Wo n't you take a drink? ” “ Thanks, I do n't drink.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Would you mind if I asked Jay not to say anything about this to anybody just for the pres- ent? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Would you mind if I spoke to Jay myself?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ Yes, I suppose so..."“ Yet you say there was no reply? ” 56.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You ask for me? ” he said in deep guttural 284 THE YELLOW STREAK “ Not Ernest Dulkinghorn, of the War Office?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You ask for me? ” he said in deep guttural 284 THE YELLOW STREAK “ Not Ernest Dulkinghorn, of the War Office?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You did n't notice any official- looking letter on bluish paper? ” he ventured to ask.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You do n't understand, do n't you?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You heard my question?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You say there was nothing in the letter- tray but these papers here? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You say you heard no shot? ” he suddenly asked Robin.
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You think it might be blackmail, eh?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You took a certain interest in this young lady?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You're pretty deep, are n't you?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You're sure of that?"
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You've got it there?
hvd.hnp3g7	“ You've got that letter? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hnp3g7	• Who is that crying outside? ” Greve de- manded.
hvd.hnp1et	A Mrs. Anson, a widow, who lived in Johnson's Mews? hvd.hnp1et A sitting room and a bedroom en suite?"
hvd.hnp1et	About the lamb? ”. hvd.hnp1et About you?
hvd.hnp1et	Address?
hvd.hnp1et	Am I to pray that my mother shall be taken from me?
hvd.hnp1et	An'was that Mr. Anson himself who drove away in a private cab? ”. hvd.hnp1et And what did you say?"
hvd.hnp1et	Are you engaged? ” Philip heard her ask the cab- man. hvd.hnp1et Are you sure? ” “ Quite sure. ”"Strange!"
hvd.hnp1et	Are you the manager?
hvd.hnp1et	Be the forchun uv war, Phil, where did ye get the iligant leather thrunks, an'phwat's in them? ” inquired the astonished pensioner. hvd.hnp1et Boy, have you got a watch? ”"No,"said Philip, surprised by this odd question.
hvd.hnp1et	But what about me?
hvd.hnp1et	Ca n't I have a light? ” he asked, partly turning to- ward the room he had just quitted. hvd.hnp1et Did he say any more about me being the boy who found the meteor?"
hvd.hnp1et	Did n't you succeed at the laundry? ” he inquired. hvd.hnp1et Did that satisfy them? ”"Perfectly.
hvd.hnp1et	Do n't you know? hvd.hnp1et Do you know, ” he said,"that this odd- looking port- manteau, always locked and always reposing in a safe, has puzzled my valets considerably?
hvd.hnp1et	Do you mean to say Mr. Wilson sent you to dis- pose of this stone to me? ” he demanded. hvd.hnp1et Do you refuse? ” he said, with his downright man- ner and direct stare.
hvd.hnp1et	Do you think, ” he said,that you are behaving properly in treating a man of my position in such a way in his own office?"
hvd.hnp1et	Father! ” cried John, anxiously, little dreaming how his enthusiastic speech had pierced to the very marrow of his hearer,are you ill?
hvd.hnp1et	Goin'on, miss? ” he grinned. hvd.hnp1et Have you any more like this stone?
hvd.hnp1et	Have you called to see one of the boys? ” said the official, cheerfully. hvd.hnp1et Have you found it?"
hvd.hnp1et	How do I know? hvd.hnp1et I hope the clerk was not rude to you? ”"Not in the least.
hvd.hnp1et	I remember it well. ”Ye do, eh?
hvd.hnp1et	I suppose there would be a reduction if taken for a month?
hvd.hnp1et	I take it that you want the best? ” he inquired, pleasantly. hvd.hnp1et I will see to it, but I wanted primarily to be certain of one of two things: First, will you pay the five thousand pounds as promised?
hvd.hnp1et	I? hvd.hnp1et Is Mr. Isaacstein in?"
hvd.hnp1et	Is it worth much? ” “ A great deal. hvd.hnp1et Is that all? ” said Anson's new- found friend.
hvd.hnp1et	Is that really true?
hvd.hnp1et	Is there a telegraph office here?
hvd.hnp1et	Is there no hope, doctor? ”Absolutely none- now. ”"If she had gone to the — the workhouse infirmary would she have lived?"
hvd.hnp1et	Is there no hope, doctor? ”Absolutely none- now. ”"If she had gone to the — the workhouse infirmary would she have lived?"
hvd.hnp1et	Is your mother a caretaker there, or your father employed in a mews? ” “ My father and mother are dead.
hvd.hnp1et	January 18th of this year. ” “ And what are those- pawn tickets? ” “ Yes, some of my mother's jewelry and dresses. hvd.hnp1et Mr. Isaacstein,"he said, with a pitiful break in his voice,"why do you let them do this thing?
hvd.hnp1et	Mrs. Mason? hvd.hnp1et My God! ” he gurgled,"do you know what you are saying?
hvd.hnp1et	Oh, is that him?
hvd.hnp1et	Oh, uncle, ” she cried,why did you strike him?
hvd.hnp1et	On what floor? ” he asked. hvd.hnp1et One bedroom?"
hvd.hnp1et	Oo gev me that crack on the nut? ” he asked. hvd.hnp1et Shall I pay you a week in ad- vance?
hvd.hnp1et	Shall I run and buy you a new one? hvd.hnp1et Shall I summon the police? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	Sir Philip is still living? ” “ Yes, but sinking fast. ” Anson tore open the note. hvd.hnp1et Then what is your name?".
hvd.hnp1et	Then will you kindly inform us what number in Park Lane you live at?
hvd.hnp1et	There is no harm in asking, is there? hvd.hnp1et Were they satisfied?"
hvd.hnp1et	Were you attending a rehearsal at the Regent's Hall? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnp1et	Were you in earnest when you said that you have an abundance of stones like those in your hands?
hvd.hnp1et	What about you in that rigout?
hvd.hnp1et	What are you looking at? ” he demanded, suddenly. hvd.hnp1et What are you thanking him for?"
hvd.hnp1et	What did you tell them? ” asked Philip. hvd.hnp1et What do you mean? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1et	What do you say, madam? ” he inquired, somewhat sternly, for she seemed loath to trust any of them. hvd.hnp1et What do you think of the result? ” he demanded, facing about so that the other could see both Anson and himself.
hvd.hnp1et	What information can we give you? ” The wealth of the firm oppressed this man. hvd.hnp1et What is the date of that letter? ” he inquired.
hvd.hnp1et	What is this?
hvd.hnp1et	What sort of plundher has he in the bags, at all at all? ” In idle curiosity he lifted the last addition to the pile. hvd.hnp1et What time shall I call to- morrow? ” he asked, standing, cap in hand, ready to take his departure.
hvd.hnp1et	What's the matter, Jimmie? hvd.hnp1et What's to- day's bettin'on the National? ” he asked a friend.
hvd.hnp1et	What's up now? ” he muttered. hvd.hnp1et What's up now?"
hvd.hnp1et	What's up?
hvd.hnp1et	Whea is he?
hvd.hnp1et	Where are yer workin'? ” he said. hvd.hnp1et Where are you going to- morrow?"
hvd.hnp1et	Where did you get it? ” he asked. hvd.hnp1et Where did you get it? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1et	Where have ye bin to, at all at all? hvd.hnp1et Where is the best place to store some valuables?"
hvd.hnp1et	Where to, sir? ” asked a porter who opened the door for him. hvd.hnp1et Where to?
hvd.hnp1et	Where's the fare?
hvd.hnp1et	Which is his room? ” he said to the boy. hvd.hnp1et Why did n't ye git dahn before?
hvd.hnp1et	Why did n't you tell me of any dispute when you DIAMONDS 215 returned home? hvd.hnp1et Why do you put'account payee between these two strokes? ” he said.
hvd.hnp1et	Why not? hvd.hnp1et Why? ” he inquired, blandly.
hvd.hnp1et	Will you kindly tell him I wish to see him? ”Oah, yess."
hvd.hnp1et	Wo n't you wait a bit, until I get some help? ” said Philip, anxiously. hvd.hnp1et Wot is'e?"
hvd.hnp1et	Wot ’s ’ e bin a- doin'of? ”Nicked a lydy's purse, eh? ” “ Naw!
hvd.hnp1et	Wot ’s ’ e bin a- doin'of? ”Nicked a lydy's purse, eh? ” “ Naw!
hvd.hnp1et	Yes, most fortunately. ”Anybody connected with Sharpe& Smith? ” the constable put in.
hvd.hnp1et	You are such an industrious little woman — what? hvd.hnp1et You did, eh?
hvd.hnp1et	You say you were rude to him, Phil? hvd.hnp1et You were sure we would accompany you?"
hvd.hnp1et	You've known him this long time, have n't you, Mason?
hvd.hnp1et	'E offered me two bob,'e did, an'I stood'i m a drive as a treat,'e looked sich a scarecrow. ”"Who's next? ” cried a raucous voice at the door.
hvd.hnp1et	'Oo's right now, old cock?"
hvd.hnp1et	.."Why do you not tell Mr. Isaacstein I am here?"
hvd.hnp1et	126 THE KING OF “ Just now? ” he questioned.
hvd.hnp1et	150 THE KING OF"Are you mad? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnp1et	88 THE KING OF"What's the gyme? ” he growled.
hvd.hnp1et	Above all, how much did he know of Philip and his affairs?
hvd.hnp1et	Am I so ready to lose faith in mother?"
hvd.hnp1et	Am I to go back to Mr. Wilson and say that the office boy refuses to admit me? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	And how many boys of his age would have struck so straight and truly at a critical moment?
hvd.hnp1et	And how will you have it, in notes or gold? ” He could not help this display of cheap sarcasm.
hvd.hnp1et	And is your father dead, too? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnp1et	And what did Mason want with twenty- five thou- sand pounds?
hvd.hnp1et	And who is he?
hvd.hnp1et	And who's yon dark- lookin'chap, I wonder?
hvd.hnp1et	Anson?"
hvd.hnp1et	Anson?"
hvd.hnp1et	Are we?
hvd.hnp1et	Are you afraid of me, that you hold me so fast? ” The policeman, like the rest, did not fail to notice Philip's diction.
hvd.hnp1et	Are you agreeable? ” Some inner monitor told Philip that the Jew was talking on sound business lines.
hvd.hnp1et	Are you realizing property on his be- half? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnp1et	Are you sure Mrs. Anson is dead? ”"Oh, quite sure.
hvd.hnp1et	Arrah, what's come over ye?"
hvd.hnp1et	As the information is to be given to you alone, may I write it?"
hvd.hnp1et	Besides, I am worried to- day. ”"What has happened now? ”"I went to report myself at Southwark Police Sta- tion.
hvd.hnp1et	Boy, do you know what you are saying?"
hvd.hnp1et	But how came the boy to give that name?
hvd.hnp1et	But in the- er- infirmary they are provided by the State. ” “ Would my mother have lived had she consented to be taken there a month ago?"
hvd.hnp1et	But step into my dressing room with me for a moment, will you?"
hvd.hnp1et	But that is nothing new, is it?
hvd.hnp1et	But that may be regarded as a mini- mum. ” “ And the bigger stones, worth many thousands each?"
hvd.hnp1et	But the handwriting, that is good?"
hvd.hnp1et	But what's the matter?
hvd.hnp1et	But why this refer- ence to any particular atom?
hvd.hnp1et	But, Mr. Anson, what wonderful change in your fortunes has taken place since our first meeting?
hvd.hnp1et	Can I ask anybody else if I resemble Philip Anson when made up to represent him?"
hvd.hnp1et	Can fate play us any uncanny trick that will separate us again?"
hvd.hnp1et	Can you bring him a drink of water?
hvd.hnp1et	Can you say if it is a matter of recent occurrence?"
hvd.hnp1et	Could he avoid them by any means?
hvd.hnp1et	Could we, mother? ” Not all his valor could control his tremulous lips.
hvd.hnp1et	DIAMONDS 179"Is that allowed? ”"Certainly.
hvd.hnp1et	Did Mrs. Mason live there?
hvd.hnp1et	Did ever woman invent more tantalizing question than that concluding one?
hvd.hnp1et	Did he really say he had lots more of'em?"
hvd.hnp1et	Did n't you get that job? ” Philip laughed again.
hvd.hnp1et	Did n't you spot it? ” “ You do n't tell me so.
hvd.hnp1et	Did you expect me to risk standing in the dock by your side?
hvd.hnp1et	Do either of you know him?"
hvd.hnp1et	Do n't we, John? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	Do you follow me?".
hvd.hnp1et	Do you know him?"
hvd.hnp1et	Do you know the boy, sir? ” he went on.
hvd.hnp1et	Do you know them? ” “ No.
hvd.hnp1et	Do you remember Superintendent Robinson? ”"Him that was inspector in Whitechapel when I was put away?
hvd.hnp1et	Do you remember Superintendent Robinson? ”"Him that was inspector in Whitechapel when I was put away?
hvd.hnp1et	Do you think I am romancing?
hvd.hnp1et	Do you think I have been idle, or that I spend Lang- don's money on a wild- goose chase?
hvd.hnp1et	Do you think he has stolen the diamonds?"
hvd.hnp1et	Do you want me to do everything?"
hvd.hnp1et	Do you wish to deal with me or not?"
hvd.hnp1et	Do you- er- take wine? ” Philip laughed, that pleasant whole- souled laugh of his which instantly secured him friends.
hvd.hnp1et	Does danger lurk in the agneau du printemps?
hvd.hnp1et	D’ye want a lift?"
hvd.hnp1et	Fifteen, are n't ye?"
hvd.hnp1et	Good enough, but not the right thing"Will you oblige me by recommending a good tailor? ” said Philip.
hvd.hnp1et	Had Anson suspected something and arranged that he should be followed by rescuers avengers?
hvd.hnp1et	Had Philip Anson pitied him, or his wife, or his two children?
hvd.hnp1et	Had she failed hitherto?
hvd.hnp1et	Had their scheme miscarried at this vital moment?
hvd.hnp1et	Had this young desperado broken out of prison and come to murder them all?
hvd.hnp1et	Has he gone away?"
hvd.hnp1et	Has n't it, Eliza?"
hvd.hnp1et	Have another drink?"
hvd.hnp1et	Have ye got a job?"
hvd.hnp1et	Have yez heard what the murtherin'War Office is afther doin'to me?
hvd.hnp1et	Have you been to Somer- set House? ”"No,"said Philip.
hvd.hnp1et	Have you no friends to look after you?
hvd.hnp1et	He asked the captain, with an oath: “ Is there no way in? ” And the captain turned corpselike eyes toward him.
hvd.hnp1et	He failed most completely, and why?"
hvd.hnp1et	He held a hand- kerchief to his lips and spoke in a husky voice, the voice of one under the stress of great agitation: “ That you, Green?
hvd.hnp1et	He is an inspector now, and, of course, he knew me at once. ”"What of that?"
hvd.hnp1et	Holloway? ” “ No, cityward."
hvd.hnp1et	How came you to make such a blunder? ”"Blind as an owl, ” came the gurgling answer.
hvd.hnp1et	How can I stop him?
hvd.hnp1et	How can that be possible?
hvd.hnp1et	How could I tell that the mere name of Philip Anson would create a scene?
hvd.hnp1et	How could he hope to lift it from the hole in which it lay- how convey it from Johnson's Mews to a new and safer habitation?
hvd.hnp1et	How could it have happened?
hvd.hnp1et	How did you come to think of it?"
hvd.hnp1et	How does he manage it?
hvd.hnp1et	How long could they keep him a prisoner?
hvd.hnp1et	How should I?
hvd.hnp1et	I am in a hurry. ” “ Are ye goin'a journey?
hvd.hnp1et	I am only offer- ing the lady some assistance?"
hvd.hnp1et	I have walked here from Shepherd's Bush. ” “ That's a long way to carry a baby. ” “ What could I do?
hvd.hnp1et	I mean to buy some property, though, and can I have a hundred now?"
hvd.hnp1et	I start on Monday. ” “ Is n't your husband at work?"
hvd.hnp1et	I suppose it was paid? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	I suppose not, eh? ” “ Yes, I have many more. ” “ Eh?
hvd.hnp1et	I suppose not, eh? ” “ Yes, I have many more. ” “ Eh?
hvd.hnp1et	I suppose that is what you fear? ” Sheer wonder kept the Jew silent for a space.
hvd.hnp1et	I suppose the boy is in the workhouse? ”"Who knows!
hvd.hnp1et	I think not. ” “ An'it ai n't glass. ” “ Probably not. ” “ Where did yer get it?".
hvd.hnp1et	If it is not ac- cording to my ideas you must alter it. ” “ Do you think I mean to swindle you? ”"I have no views on that point.
hvd.hnp1et	If these shreds of matter — the mere husk, as it were, of the meteor- were so ponderous, what would be the weight of the meteor itself?
hvd.hnp1et	In any case, what can we do?"
hvd.hnp1et	In the shops they sell things in tins that make chicken broth, do n't they?
hvd.hnp1et	In what manner?"
hvd.hnp1et	Is it of great importance?
hvd.hnp1et	Is there a secret horror in the salmi? ” 218 THE KING OF Evelyn's raillery restored his scattered wits.
hvd.hnp1et	Is there anybody here who remem- bers her? ” Something in the husky voice of this stark, ill- favored man caused the boy to become less pert.
hvd.hnp1et	Isaacstein?
hvd.hnp1et	It closes at eight. ” “ I will not be back from the Grange House before then?"
hvd.hnp1et	It need not be commented on, for instance?"
hvd.hnp1et	It was on the tip of the doctor's tongue to ask:"What in the world is a Blue Atom?"
hvd.hnp1et	May I ask what you intend to do?"
hvd.hnp1et	Mebbe ye know my ould shop, the marine store near the entrance to the court?"
hvd.hnp1et	Missed a twenty to one chance at Lincoln?"
hvd.hnp1et	Mount Street — how came Mrs. Atherley and her daughter to return to the precincts of Mayfair?
hvd.hnp1et	No one answered"What? ” because of the weird replies that were forthcoming.
hvd.hnp1et	Not half a minute — a few seconds ago. ” “ But where can he be?
hvd.hnp1et	Now where was it? ” He knew two hours later, for he, too, read the even- ing paper.
hvd.hnp1et	Of course, you have not sought this interview and told me your story so unreservedly without an ulterior object in view?
hvd.hnp1et	Or does the magic spring from writing those thrilling stories one sees placarded on the hoardings?
hvd.hnp1et	Per- haps they are in his possession now. ” “ Have you any more of these stones, boy? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	See?"
hvd.hnp1et	Shall we say Tuesday? ”"No.
hvd.hnp1et	Shall we say — the day after to- morrow?"
hvd.hnp1et	Shall we stop? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	Should he go in?
hvd.hnp1et	That is so, Bradley, is n't it? ”"Yes, sir.
hvd.hnp1et	That is why the name of Philip Morland was glib on my tongue. ”"So I have only heard historical events, events prior to the last ten years?"
hvd.hnp1et	That is your name, is it not?
hvd.hnp1et	The boy was pale, and his voice somewhat tremulous as he asked:"May I go now, sir?"
hvd.hnp1et	The company which owns these prem- ises intends to pull them down on the first of next month. ”"What is your name?"
hvd.hnp1et	The duel began with qustions: “ How did you get out so soon?
hvd.hnp1et	The police had failed in their quest; whom else had he to fear?
hvd.hnp1et	The policeman crossed over..."What is that chap after? ” he inquired.
hvd.hnp1et	The stranger dropped his restraining hand, but shouted furiously:"By what right do you interfere?
hvd.hnp1et	Then where does all your clever scheming come in?
hvd.hnp1et	There is no gain in being hanged for him unnecessarily, eh? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	There was a row. ”"Why do you say'unhappily'?"
hvd.hnp1et	There's nothing to be had down our way, is there?"
hvd.hnp1et	These things will not be in your way until the morning? ” “ The divil a bit.
hvd.hnp1et	They thought they heard a splash; then Mason turned coolly to Grenier: “ Is there any blood on my coat?"
hvd.hnp1et	To the Bridewell station?
hvd.hnp1et	To- matoes, mum?
hvd.hnp1et	Vat iss it, sir?"
hvd.hnp1et	Was he in that man's power?
hvd.hnp1et	Was he not rich — able to command the services of men — why should he fal- ter?
hvd.hnp1et	Was he or the boy mad?
hvd.hnp1et	Was not all London ringing with the news of his fortune, yet what nian or woman had discovered the whereabouts of his treasure?
hvd.hnp1et	Was the inquiry Lady Morland's last ruse to save an encumbered estate?
hvd.hnp1et	Was this destitute urchin going to leave the court with diamonds in his pocket worth fifty thousand pounds?
hvd.hnp1et	We are alone in the world. ”"And hard up, eh? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	We told none of'em as how Mr. Judd went to'Olloway that night, did we, Will- yum? ”"Not us.
hvd.hnp1et	We will go and hear the per- formance afterward. ”"Can you distribute stalls among your acquaint- ances? ”"My dear fellow, I will be delighted.
hvd.hnp1et	What about blue atom?
hvd.hnp1et	What are they?
hvd.hnp1et	What are you driving at?
hvd.hnp1et	What avail is money against a million- aire?"
hvd.hnp1et	What did it all mean?
hvd.hnp1et	What did it matter if the boy kept to his rags and amazed the world, so long as the diamonds were forthcoming?
hvd.hnp1et	What did you say or do to warrant such a description? ” He hesitated for a moment.
hvd.hnp1et	What do you make of it, Mr. Issacstein? ” he said.
hvd.hnp1et	What fearful chance had brought to their door one who thus boldly demanded admission?
hvd.hnp1et	What good is it? ” “ I can not tell you.
hvd.hnp1et	What had happened to cause him to run away?
hvd.hnp1et	What had he done?
hvd.hnp1et	What had he seen or heard?
hvd.hnp1et	What have you found in the menu to perplex you so terribly?
hvd.hnp1et	What have you to say?".
hvd.hnp1et	What intruder was this who knocked so impera- tively?
hvd.hnp1et	What is he — a roué, a gambler, probably a drunkard?"
hvd.hnp1et	What number is the suite, please, and will you kindly have my luggage sent there at once?"
hvd.hnp1et	What on earth caused Mason to con- nect him with that diamond story? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	What quantity of stones do you possess, and what are their sizes?
hvd.hnp1et	What sort of man was he?
hvd.hnp1et	What was a blue atom?
hvd.hnp1et	What was her Christian name an'address? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hnp1et	What were you doing at the time?"
hvd.hnp1et	What workhouse?
hvd.hnp1et	What would happen if the friendly constable believed Jocky Mason's excited statements?
hvd.hnp1et	What's the game?"
hvd.hnp1et	What, indeed, did this outcast want there?
hvd.hnp1et	What?
hvd.hnp1et	When do we meet again, Mr. Isaacstein? ” “ You are not going away by yourself with that stone in your pocket?"
hvd.hnp1et	When do we meet again, Mr. Isaacstein? ” “ You are not going away by yourself with that stone in your pocket?"
hvd.hnp1et	When it did fall, what keener satisfaction could he have than the knowledge that he would be enriched by the deed?
hvd.hnp1et	Where are they, boy?
hvd.hnp1et	Where are they?
hvd.hnp1et	Where are they? ” The chair was creaking now with the rhythmic sway- ing of its occupant.
hvd.hnp1et	Where do you take him?
hvd.hnp1et	Where is Green?
hvd.hnp1et	Where is the laundry you spoke of?
hvd.hnp1et	Where was there a safe hiding place for his diamonds until next day?
hvd.hnp1et	Which was the more judicious course — to re- main hidden, unknown, or to drop quietly into the groove where he was recognized?
hvd.hnp1et	Who are they?".
hvd.hnp1et	Who are you that dares to usurp my name, after striving to murder me?"
hvd.hnp1et	Who could have given fairer evidence in your behalf than I did?
hvd.hnp1et	Who is he?
hvd.hnp1et	Who is the soprano?
hvd.hnp1et	Who proved that you could not have stolen the stones?
hvd.hnp1et	Who was Sir Philip Morland that he should dare to offer this insult to a lady?
hvd.hnp1et	Who was his unknown friend — and what explanation was at- tached to the incident?
hvd.hnp1et	Who were those black- guards who employed you? ”"S'elp me, sir, I on'y know one of'em.
hvd.hnp1et	Why did you drop this bombshell on me so unexpectedly?
hvd.hnp1et	Why had he not thought of this ally sooner?
hvd.hnp1et	Why have you held me back?
hvd.hnp1et	Why not?
hvd.hnp1et	Why should she fear to face them simply because we are poor?"
hvd.hnp1et	Why should you rob me?
hvd.hnp1et	Why was all pretense of doubt as to his relationship swept aside so completely?
hvd.hnp1et	Why was he hiding in my door- way?"
hvd.hnp1et	Will you be afraid?"
hvd.hnp1et	Will you be pleased to unlock it?"
hvd.hnp1et	Will you buy my diamonds?"
hvd.hnp1et	Will you kindly arrange that I may be treated like any ordinary person?"
hvd.hnp1et	Will you kindly forward it to the secretary?
hvd.hnp1et	Will you kindly tell me what it is? ” The man behind the counter stared at him for a mo- ment, but he reached over for the stone.
hvd.hnp1et	Will you remain to din- ner? ” Then Philip knew that he had gained his point.
hvd.hnp1et	Wot did'e s'y'is nyme was?
hvd.hnp1et	Wot's'e done, Mr. Policeman? ” Mr. Judd was nettled, yet unwilling to acknowledge he was wholly wrong.
hvd.hnp1et	Would anyone advance a claim to his meteor?
hvd.hnp1et	Would her spirit guide his footsteps across this new quicksand on whose verge he hesitated?
hvd.hnp1et	Would mother inspire him again as she had not failed to do during so many strange events?
hvd.hnp1et	Would others find his meteor and rob him of his mother's gift?
hvd.hnp1et	Would you argue with me?
hvd.hnp1et	Would you like to look round?"
hvd.hnp1et	Yet what could he do?
hvd.hnp1et	Yet, how to manage it?
hvd.hnp1et	You are not in such a hurry; eh?
hvd.hnp1et	You heard him, Anson? ”.
hvd.hnp1et	You remember the small portmanteau in my safe at Park Lane?"
hvd.hnp1et	You saw his face only, I suppose?"
hvd.hnp1et	You think I am somewhat like Philip Anson at this moment? ”"His image, confound him! ” “ No, not his image.
hvd.hnp1et	You were remanded for a week. ” “ Are you going to send for a policeman?"
hvd.hnp1et	You will stop a moment at the tele- graph office?"
hvd.hnp1et	You wo n't tell me where you got it?"
hvd.hnp1et	Your price is my price- fifty thousand pounds. ”"Do you think I carry that amount of money in my purse?"
hvd.hnp1et	what's your name? ” he broke in.
hvd.hnp1et	“ A meteoric diamond. ” “ A meteoric diamond? ” “ Yes.".
hvd.hnp1et	“ A rehearsal for Monsieur Jowkacsy's concert?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Ah, you know me then?
hvd.hnp1et	“ All these, I gathered from the solicitors. ”"And if your mother were living, what would she say to Lady Morland?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Am I to make out a check for five thousand pounds to ‘ Philip'? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Are there no servants?".
hvd.hnp1et	“ Are you afraid I wo n't pay you?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Are you leaving here?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Are you quite sure of their meteoric origin, Mr. Isaacstein? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Arrah, Phil, me bhoy, where in the name of good- ness are ye gatherin'the bee- utiful, leather thrunks from?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Beg pardon,"he said to the couple, “ is that Mr. Philip Anson's place?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ But what is it?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Can you make it convenient to attend the court within an hour, sir?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Can you not speak?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Can you oblige me with a piece of rope?
hvd.hnp1et	“ D'ye want a job?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ D'yer tyke me for a mug, or what?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Did he, really?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Do you know anything of a Mrs. Mason, who used to live in this locality about ten years ago? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Do you know him?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Do you know its value? ” he said, with a sudden snap.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Do you mean some time since?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Go avay und blay, vil you?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Good heavens, man, you do not intend to leave be- fore Jowkacsy plays the suite in F minor? ” queried his amazed acquaintance.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Green?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Has he a fare, Wale? ” “ Yes, sir, a lydy. ” “ Oh.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Here, what are you doing? ” cried Isaacstein.
hvd.hnp1et	“ How can I?
hvd.hnp1et	“ How many of you are there, then? ” “ I beg your pardon? ” “ Are you alone?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ How many of you are there, then? ” “ I beg your pardon? ” “ Are you alone?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ How many of you are there, then? ” “ I beg your pardon? ” “ Are you alone?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ How much do you want for them?
hvd.hnp1et	“ I on'y heard this mornin'that he was let out. ”"Would you mind telling me who paid the bill?
hvd.hnp1et	“ I suppose you only want this to be indicated? ” he said.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Is anybody hurt?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Is it worth anything?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Is that carriage yours?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ May I say something personal?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ My dear, dear boy, ” he cried,"what has hap- pened? ” Philip told him briefly.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Not much left, is there?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Not much there, eh? ” laughed the policeman.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Not- kill him?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Now, where can he have got to?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Oh, he treated you kindly to- day, did he?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Philip Anson, ” hissed a man's voice, “ do you re- member Jocky Mason?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Philip what?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Philip — those people who behaved so badly to your mother ” “ Have they dared to trouble you?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Revenge is Mine; I Will Repay. ”"Ca n't I have a light? ” said Philip, with head screwed round to ascertain if the doctor were following him.
hvd.hnp1et	“ So Robinson wrote to Bradley, knowing that I would report myself to- day, and Bradley arranged""Who is Robinson, father? ” interrupted John.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Ten, twenty- of assorted sizes, eh? ”"Far more!
hvd.hnp1et	“ That was my motive, sir. ” “ Then, my young millionaire, in what way do you wish me to serve you?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Then I take it that you will not inform me of the locality of this deposit?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Then what is the whole meteor worth, and what am I worth?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ There are particles of a mineral that looks like iron among these stones? ” he said.
hvd.hnp1et	“ There is no need at this moment to explain to the bank manager that I am the hero of the police court affair? ” he said.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Well? ” he said, blankly, wondering why on earth the skilled shop- walker had sent such a disreputable urchin to him.
hvd.hnp1et	“ What do you think of this one?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ What has happened? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp1et	“ When did you hear first?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Where did he coom frae? ” DIAMONDS 297 “ Nobbut a loony wad hae jumped off yon crag."
hvd.hnp1et	“ Where do we sup?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Where is it?".
hvd.hnp1et	“ Where was I ten years ago? ” he mused.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Who are you?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Who is there? ” said Dr. Scarth.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Why do n't you an- swer me? ”"I — I- my name is Philip Anson.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Why not, mother? ” cried the girl, spiritedly.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Will that do? ” he inquired.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Will you go to her? ” Philip obeyed in silence.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Will you occupy my cab?
hvd.hnp1et	“ Wot did I tell yer, Tomkins? ” he cried, elatedly.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Yes, most kindly. ”"You do n't drink, I suppose? ” broke in the other, abruptly.
hvd.hnp1et	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Open the safe, get that bag, and send it to me to morrow night by train to the Station Hotel, York. ”"To- morrow night, sir?".
hvd.hnp1et	“ Yes. ” “ Can you form any estimate of their probable value? ”"About fifty thousand pounds!"
hvd.hnp1et	“ Yes. ”"And you think that by disclosing your name and address you will reveal that locality? ” Philip grew red.
hvd.hnp1et	“ You do n't think I mean to swindle you, surely?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ You do not bring any charge against him, my lord? ” he said.
hvd.hnp1et	“ You imagine then that I may deal fairly with you?"
hvd.hnp1et	“ You said that a clerk from Messrs. Sharpe& Smith called here twice? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	'No; you will hear all that passes, and will see how you have wronged Mr. Reiss,'I replied. ” “ And Lenore, where was she in the meantime?
hvd.32044080926181	'” “ And that's the cipher? ” “ That is the cipher.

hvd.32044080926181	During that examination were you shown a weapon like this?
hvd.32044080926181	Exactly; but why did you invite them?
hvd.32044080926181	Excitement was to him as the breath of air in his nostrils, and things ow and tead of making stake?

hvd.32044080926181	For the same reasons as before?
hvd.32044080926181	From what do you suppose they pro- ceeded, Doc? ” “ I give it up! ” “ Grease- paint and cocoa- butter! ” said Maitland.
hvd.32044080926181	From whom?
hvd.32044080926181	Guess again! ”"Mrs. Moreton! ” “ Must I tell you in set phrase that the marks were not made by Mrs. Moreton's fingers?"
hvd.32044080926181	Had we not better hurry back to town and notify the authorities?

hvd.32044080926181	Has not the human race yet reached an adult estate?
hvd.32044080926181	Has there ever been any friction between you and Mr. Bertram?
hvd.32044080926181	Have you any reason to suspect any particular Remington?
hvd.32044080926181	Have you any suspicions,- any theory as to who the guilty party may be?
hvd.32044080926181	Have you been able to come to any con- clusion in regard to the two remarkable tests she gave us? ” “ No; I ca n't say that I have.

hvd.32044080926181	Have you made any attempt to find others like it?
hvd.32044080926181	Have you recently suffered any loss or affliction?
hvd.32044080926181	He died on the anniversary of his crime more than twenty- five years ago! ” “ On June 13th?
hvd.32044080926181	He lived only through the pleasure he derived from the chase, and what chase could there be when affairs slackened pace to a mere purposeless saunter?
hvd.32044080926181	He says we are undercapitalised. ” “ And how do you like your new president, now that you know more of him?
hvd.32044080926181	Hello, what's this? ” and he held an old wine bottle up to view.

hvd.32044080926181	Here the question is,-or rather used to be,-'What are you?'
hvd.32044080926181	How am I to get it?
hvd.32044080926181	How came it there?
hvd.32044080926181	How could you leave out your own great part in this history, if your teaching were to be true?
hvd.32044080926181	How did Mr. Moreton bring the money from the banks?
hvd.32044080926181	How did he come by them?
hvd.32044080926181	How did he get out and how did he get the dead body out?
hvd.32044080926181	How did you account for that, upon the assumption that he was thin and strong? ” “ I was just about to consider that, ” replied his com- panion.
hvd.32044080926181	How did you come by it?
hvd.32044080926181	How did you make sure of this last point?
hvd.32044080926181	How do you account for it?
hvd.32044080926181	How do you account for it?
hvd.32044080926181	How do you know the weapon is unique?
hvd.32044080926181	How does Solomon corral the business?

hvd.32044080926181	How tall was Mr. James Moreton?
hvd.32044080926181	How the devil can you stand that stench? ” “ I've been eating Limburger, so I do n't notice it, ” replies Maitland, laughing.
hvd.32044080926181	How was it when the Caligraph was used?
hvd.32044080926181	How were you able to determine that all these letters were printed upon the same machine?
hvd.32044080926181	How, then, did he lose some four hundred odd thou- sand dollars in the robbery?
hvd.32044080926181	How, then, did this wardrobe enable the assassin to secrete his victim's body if the corpse was not in it at the time of its examination?
hvd.32044080926181	How?

hvd.32044080926181	I've solved the nightmare! ” 6 What?"
hvd.32044080926181	If so, how can we estimate any chance in connection with it?
hvd.32044080926181	If so, it's clear they did n't stop to put it on the corpse again. ” “ Mebbe these mummies was pressed for time, after all, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	If so, we've a job on our hands to find the druggist without advertising. ” “ But why not advertise?
hvd.32044080926181	If so, which man would he have chosen?
hvd.32044080926181	If ten of us ca n't keep him in better subjection than that, what would he have been if we had n't come along?
hvd.32044080926181	If the dagger you painted be still in your studio you could, I suppose, readily find it?

hvd.32044080926181	Is it not about as bad as it can be?"
hvd.32044080926181	Is it not often better so?
hvd.32044080926181	Is it not so?
hvd.32044080926181	Is it not so? ” “ No!
hvd.32044080926181	Is it not so? ” “ There is some speech which the tongue may not lick up.
hvd.32044080926181	Is it not the same dagger?
hvd.32044080926181	Is it not wise, therefore, that you forego this little expedition?"
hvd.32044080926181	Is it well with you in that country?"
hvd.32044080926181	Is it you?
hvd.32044080926181	Is it your belief that the accused buried his victim early upon the night of the murder?
hvd.32044080926181	Is n't it silver, then?
hvd.32044080926181	Is n't it wonderful?
hvd.32044080926181	Is n't that slick?
hvd.32044080926181	Is not that all?
hvd.32044080926181	Is not that enough? ” “ Oh, you do not understand! ” “ My line again!
hvd.32044080926181	Is not that the same hieroglyph?
hvd.32044080926181	Is that reason enough?
hvd.32044080926181	Is that the compact?"
hvd.32044080926181	Is that your vest?
hvd.32044080926181	Is the Caligraph regarded at present as a standard machine?
hvd.32044080926181	Is the dear public rising to the bait? ” “ It's coming fine,"replied Mr. Wilkes.
hvd.32044080926181	Is there anything else in regard to these letters which has influenced you in the conviction you say you have formed?
hvd.32044080926181	Is there anything else that leads you to that con- viction?
hvd.32044080926181	Is there ever any doubt about turpen- tine? ” George replied.
hvd.32044080926181	Is there nothing else I can do?
hvd.32044080926181	Is this true?
hvd.32044080926181	Is your torch ready? ” continues Patupo, as he turns to Matuku.
hvd.32044080926181	Is't a go?"
hvd.32044080926181	It ran as follows: What sees the dewdrop on the rose?
hvd.32044080926181	It was finally broken by Tomo's single word of inter- rogation: « Well?
hvd.32044080926181	It was like this, only somewhat larger: “ Did you not notice that? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	It was with a visible effort that the woman continued: “ And if I consent- if I do not contest?"
hvd.32044080926181	It's a snap- lock, is n't it? ” “ Yes,"answered the officer addressed.
hvd.32044080926181	It's private, is n't it?"
hvd.32044080926181	Just what do you mean by its location?
hvd.32044080926181	Just what do you mean by “ quarrelled ”?
hvd.32044080926181	May I prescribe?
hvd.32044080926181	May I send for the dagger he is to wear? ” “ I brought it with me to- day,"she answered, passing him a thin box.
hvd.32044080926181	May I trouble you for a pen?
hvd.32044080926181	Might I suggest that you notify them if you know their whereabouts, since we may not be able to communicate with them for an indefinite period?
hvd.32044080926181	Might it not have been ten minutes earlier or later?
hvd.32044080926181	Might not the letter intended be that produced by the key intersected by lines drawn from the keys representing the characters given?
hvd.32044080926181	Might there not be a geometrical factor in the problem?
hvd.32044080926181	Might they not be the bones of James Moreton?
hvd.32044080926181	Moreton mystery before you breakfast?
hvd.32044080926181	Moreton, however, advanced a step, bowed affably to the young lady, and said: “ Whom shall I say?"
hvd.32044080926181	Mr. More- ton's father had killed the Ariki of our tribe when we were children,—but that was not all- 6-Not all?"
hvd.32044080926181	Now ca n't you think of someone who wishes you to leave New York,—someone who would be a gainer were you to go away?"
hvd.32044080926181	Now if I make it valuable, as I propose to do, to whom will the credit belong, you or me?
hvd.32044080926181	Now in a document of the length which we assume this to have, would it not be re- markable if neither an'I'nor an'a'occurred?
hvd.32044080926181	Now is n't that nice? ” “ But did n't you sell these people stock? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.32044080926181	Now is n't that nice? ” “ But did n't you sell these people stock? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.32044080926181	Now we shall see! ” “ And you will not tell him? ” came from behind the curtains.
hvd.32044080926181	Now what did this grease- paint upon the ruffian's face sig- nify?
hvd.32044080926181	Now, as for histrionic ability, my boy, this young woman is a winner,'I tell you! ” “ I say, Wilkes, where on earth did you pick her up?"
hvd.32044080926181	Now, how shall we find whether or not this identical one of the twenty- five million knives actually did the whit- tling in question?
hvd.32044080926181	Now, in twenty- five million knives how many would be likely to have nicked blades?
hvd.32044080926181	Now, sir; what reply did you make to that?
hvd.32044080926181	Now, such being the fact, is he going gratui- tously to subject “ The Eichberg'and the Madame to what he knows full well is in store for them?
hvd.32044080926181	Of course it may be merely a coincidence, but it's worthy of notice. ” “ By the way, George, have you still those letters? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.32044080926181	Of what is she thinking?
hvd.32044080926181	Oh, White's a very inter- esting personage just now! ” “ Shall you ask for his arrest?
hvd.32044080926181	On several occasions they stayed there all night.—Where was I?"
hvd.32044080926181	On the Hudson?
hvd.32044080926181	On the ground that your answer would incriminate yourself?
hvd.32044080926181	Perchance the information he besought was vital to his interests, but what of that?
hvd.32044080926181	Phwhy did n't ye buy him, loike a gintleman, an'not pay fur'i m?"
hvd.32044080926181	Pretty, is n't it?
hvd.32044080926181	Quien sabe?
hvd.32044080926181	S. Nothing new at the mines.—Do be careful, James! ” “ Now what do you say to that, Ned? ” asked Mait- land, as he finished reading.
hvd.32044080926181	See, here is the wound. ” “ Are there not two wounds, Doctor? ” asks Maitland, lowering the candle.
hvd.32044080926181	Seriously, Doc, it almost drove me to'Isis Unveiled?!
hvd.32044080926181	Shall I send to your office for it after lunch, or will you send it to me here? ” “ James"6—There is no other question.
hvd.32044080926181	Shall we leave his body here and strive to escape with his head?
hvd.32044080926181	She felt the pallor she could not see, and hastened to ask:"— And I shall come again?"
hvd.32044080926181	Speak to me( a long pause] the pakeha! ” “ How is it with you?
hvd.32044080926181	Sup- pose, now, the Madame and Dr. Carew should quarrel?
hvd.32044080926181	Surely he would not have suspected the woman, so queenly and self- con- tained, albeit so deeply moved?
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 143 66 What did he say?"
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 195 “ Shall we need anything I have? ” asked the doctor, as he prepared to leave.
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 203 “ Did you not observe that this metal had been melted away?"
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 273 “ When was he killed? ” “ On the afternoon of June 13th. ” “ Just as it should be!
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 367 “ But, George, this will force us to alter some of our earlier theories, wo n't it? ” “ What, for example?
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 367 “ But, George, this will force us to alter some of our earlier theories, wo n't it? ” “ What, for example?
hvd.32044080926181	THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 47 “ Are you in any particular hurry? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	That translates St.'"“ And FI'?"
hvd.32044080926181	That worthy unfolded the paper and this is what he saw: A$ 187fFI 5hubs5 VK9;4g7fRKT“dF?
hvd.32044080926181	The answer is — • Charlie Bert. ” “ And the cipher message, George? ” “ Same answer — Charlie Bert.
hvd.32044080926181	The chief fired an appreciative remark at some Maori deity or other, and then asked: • When was he killed?'
hvd.32044080926181	The figure is more or less ideal, I suppose? ” “ On the contrary, it is true, religiously true, to life!
hvd.32044080926181	The old chief said, after a few explanatory sentences:'How say you, Te Maire, has the younger James Moreton been slain?'
hvd.32044080926181	The old man's eyes narrowed to a covetous crack, as he said, reaching for the flask: “ What is that, my son?"
hvd.32044080926181	The reddest blush of History is an ashamed confession of battlefields of"love and mercy. ” “ WELL, what is it?"
hvd.32044080926181	The time to repent is before the match has been laid to the train! What manner of water is this?
hvd.32044080926181	The tohunga took a long draught, as the other con- tinued: “ But how did you get rid of Moreton so easily?"
hvd.32044080926181	The widows and orphans will have a run for their money finding us here, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	Then Mr. Bertram had a key to it?
hvd.32044080926181	Then Mr. Moreton did not use the detached- sheet- carbon- copy filing system now so common?
hvd.32044080926181	Then you did not see the contents of the bag?
hvd.32044080926181	There are no foot- prints anywhere in the field except those that lead straight to this shanty. ” “ Are you sure you can identify your man?
hvd.32044080926181	There would be others pres- ent, of course, but what of that?
hvd.32044080926181	Think you, such a story must be told again?
hvd.32044080926181	This pakeha was a fellow- countryman of mine, I suppose? ”.
hvd.32044080926181	Those officers — I saw across the street- did- did he go with them?"
hvd.32044080926181	Thus ended, the real Rachel Eichberg. ” “ How did you learn all this, George?
hvd.32044080926181	To such a people war was the great end of life, and?
hvd.32044080926181	Truly, is it you?"
hvd.32044080926181	Tui's sobs are in- terspersed with moans that are not good for one to hear- “ Did you hear that?"
hvd.32044080926181	Under these circumstances what will you do?
hvd.32044080926181	Upon exami- THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH 483 compartments of this wardrobe was thoroughly ex- amined at the time we are considering?
hvd.32044080926181	Upon what do you base that assurance?
hvd.32044080926181	Upon what ground?
hvd.32044080926181	Upon what is youth and beauty wo nt to dwell when Love's spring freshets swirl about the heart?
hvd.32044080926181	WELL, Doc, what do you say?"
hvd.32044080926181	Was Mr. Bertram?
hvd.32044080926181	Was Mr. Montrose there?
hvd.32044080926181	Was Mr. White fond of Miss Eich- berg? ” “ He certainly acted as if he were! ” and there was unmistakable bitterness in the young man's tone.
hvd.32044080926181	Was it not a decidedly outré thing that the body should have been buried there of all places?
hvd.32044080926181	Was n't that rather a singular fear?
hvd.32044080926181	Was not Mr. Bertram with you?
hvd.32044080926181	Was not Mr. Moreton out of town a good deal about this time?
hvd.32044080926181	Was not mention also made of the existence of a similar weapon in the police archives at Washington?
hvd.32044080926181	Was not that produced by a dagger- thrust? ” « Yes, but it was by one given his father before James was born.
hvd.32044080926181	Was she as beautiful as her picture promised?
hvd.32044080926181	Was that imaginary, or did you have a weapon for a model?
hvd.32044080926181	Was that sum ever paid?
hvd.32044080926181	Was the loss of a pecuniary nature?
hvd.32044080926181	Was the murdered man in any way connected with this loss?
hvd.32044080926181	Was there anyone else in the office at the time?
hvd.32044080926181	Was there anyone here besides you and Mr. Moreton?"
hvd.32044080926181	Was there not another weapon produced at your examination very like yours?
hvd.32044080926181	We have nothing to fear from any other countries. ” “ How long before they will be upon us? ” “ A matter of twenty minutes.
hvd.32044080926181	We shall have to restudy our parts. ” “ But can not you see?
hvd.32044080926181	We shall now hear from him.- How say you, Te Maire, has the younger James More- ton been slain? ” “ He has been slain,"replied the man addressed.
hvd.32044080926181	We strove to hold thee to us, but who can bind a flowing river?
hvd.32044080926181	Well, I began another complete search of that place, and in the very midst of it, what do you think happened?"
hvd.32044080926181	Well, sir?
hvd.32044080926181	Were her costumes actually the marvels report asserted?
hvd.32044080926181	Were those tattoo marks?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you acquainted with the murdered man?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you and Mr. Bertram at 163 Lombrose Street on the nights of March 2d, 3d, 5th, 10th, 13th, 15th and 16th, and of April 3d, 7th and 11th?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you enabled to keep in touch with the busi- ness of the office?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you not at that address during March and April something like ten nights?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you not then requested to go to your studio and get the weapon you had used as a model?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you not, shortly after the murder of James Eldredge Moreton, arrested and examined in regard thereto and subsequently discharged?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you present at the studio when Mr. Reiss and the officer searched for the weapon?
hvd.32044080926181	Were you rooming in Jersey City at that time?
hvd.32044080926181	Were your relations pleasant?
hvd.32044080926181	Were your relations with your employer pleasant?
hvd.32044080926181	What Maori, forsooth, would dare to appropriate to himself his companion's face or leg?
hvd.32044080926181	What answer have you to the various scientific problems I pro- pounded?
hvd.32044080926181	What are these little red stains here upon the right side?
hvd.32044080926181	What are we'up against,'Doc? ” “ Do n't ask me, George; I ca n't fathom it! ” replied the other helplessly.
hvd.32044080926181	What could Mr. Moreton do?
hvd.32044080926181	What could be more liberal on the part of the Consolidated?
hvd.32044080926181	What could be more unusual than those unmistakable finger- prints on the victim's throat?
hvd.32044080926181	What could the prose- cution expect to prove by him?
hvd.32044080926181	What damask woe finds it a tear To tremble on the lid of Dole?
hvd.32044080926181	What did he dissect?
hvd.32044080926181	What did it all mean?
hvd.32044080926181	What did you infer from this?
hvd.32044080926181	What do you know about Mr. Bertram's relations with Mr. Moreton?
hvd.32044080926181	What do you make of that? ” he continues, addressing both Sheehan and Burke at once.
hvd.32044080926181	What do you mean by that?
hvd.32044080926181	What do you say to deanthropomor- phizationability, eh, Mr. Doubting Thomas?"
hvd.32044080926181	What do you say, boys? ” he asked, turning to the officers.
hvd.32044080926181	What do you say?
hvd.32044080926181	What do you say?"
hvd.32044080926181	What do you suppose she wrote?
hvd.32044080926181	What do you think?
hvd.32044080926181	What do you think?"
hvd.32044080926181	What do you want?"
hvd.32044080926181	What does Elbert say?"
hvd.32044080926181	What does it think it is?"
hvd.32044080926181	What else had you against him?"
hvd.32044080926181	What else? ” 6 The desk! ” “ Took every drawer out of it, and even scrutinised the skeleton frame.
hvd.32044080926181	What happened after the money was put into the safe and the safe locked?
hvd.32044080926181	What has happened? ” he cries in an excited voice, quite audible to his intended victim.
hvd.32044080926181	What is her name? ” It was some time before the young man replied.
hvd.32044080926181	What is her name? ” The artist looked him fixedly in the eyes and said firmly: “ I do not care to tell you, sir!"
hvd.32044080926181	What is it all about?
hvd.32044080926181	What is it? ” “ The smell of turpentine sometimes so excites people that they ca n't sleep o'nights.""
hvd.32044080926181	What is it?"
hvd.32044080926181	What is the explanation of this wide- spread faith?
hvd.32044080926181	What is the ratio of likelihood that the next trial will give it to us? — Can the accumulated experience of a die affect its future?
hvd.32044080926181	What is the ratio of likelihood that the next trial will give it to us? — Can the accumulated experience of a die affect its future?
hvd.32044080926181	What is your idea?"
hvd.32044080926181	What is your occupation?
hvd.32044080926181	What machines have you used?
hvd.32044080926181	What more? ” A deep, hollow voice answers from the ground beneath his feet: “ Look at thy hand!
hvd.32044080926181	What motive could he have?
hvd.32044080926181	What nectar fills its cup of taste, And savours all that overflows, To lave the passion- burdened haste Of dewdrop, drunken with the rose?
hvd.32044080926181	What other peculiarities, if any, did you notice?
hvd.32044080926181	What passion shakes its crystal soul?
hvd.32044080926181	What puzzles me — that is, one of the things- heaven knows there are enough others l- is, who were White's accomplices?
hvd.32044080926181	What should be said, then, when we find the displacement invariably to be of a rotative character?
hvd.32044080926181	What tender incense drinks it in?
hvd.32044080926181	What then was its nature?
hvd.32044080926181	What then?
hvd.32044080926181	What then?
hvd.32044080926181	What then?
hvd.32044080926181	What then?
hvd.32044080926181	What then?
hvd.32044080926181	What was the amount due Mrs. Haswell from Mr. Moreton?
hvd.32044080926181	What was the cause of your quarrels with Mr. Moreton?
hvd.32044080926181	What was the matter with his face?
hvd.32044080926181	What was the result of that search?
hvd.32044080926181	What was this Juliet like?
hvd.32044080926181	What were their names?
hvd.32044080926181	What were these ladies doing there?
hvd.32044080926181	What when we further ascertain that the rotation is always to the left?
hvd.32044080926181	What would become of us doctors were such free treatments permitted?
hvd.32044080926181	What would the pakeha have me tell?
hvd.32044080926181	What would you have?"
hvd.32044080926181	What would you have?"
hvd.32044080926181	What's that for? ” “ That's merely to prevent possible error,"Maitland explained.
hvd.32044080926181	What's the prospect?
hvd.32044080926181	What's this? ” “ Most astounding development in the Moreton mystery.
hvd.32044080926181	What, then, is left?
hvd.32044080926181	What, think you, can be the matter with her risibilities?
hvd.32044080926181	What?
hvd.32044080926181	When I knocked, I sup- pose White mistook me for the servant, for he shouted Come?!
hvd.32044080926181	When did Mr. Moreton change to the Remington?
hvd.32044080926181	When did you all go into the hall?
hvd.32044080926181	When he came to himself he was alone. ” “ Have you any theory as to why so many things were wantonly injured?"
hvd.32044080926181	When working for Mr. Moreton, were your duties confined entirely to bookkeeping?

hvd.32044080926181	Where did you first use the Caligraph?
hvd.32044080926181	Where did you procure this knife?
hvd.32044080926181	Where did you see it?
hvd.32044080926181	Where is he? ” “ He he has left — the house! ” stammered the doctor.
hvd.32044080926181	Where is it now?
hvd.32044080926181	Where were you last employed?
hvd.32044080926181	Where were you on the night of February 22d of last year?
hvd.32044080926181	Where were you on the night of June 13th?
hvd.32044080926181	Where would you begin to look in such a case?"
hvd.32044080926181	Where's she from?"
hvd.32044080926181	Where?
hvd.32044080926181	Where?

hvd.32044080926181	Who killed Te Wira?"
hvd.32044080926181	Who opened it mornings?
hvd.32044080926181	Who took charge of the contents of the grave in the rear of 163 Lombrose Street?
hvd.32044080926181	Who was the head bookkeeper?
hvd.32044080926181	Who was there who could possibly benefit by this disappearance?
hvd.32044080926181	Who was there, upon that occasion, besides yourself and Mr. Bertram?
hvd.32044080926181	Who were the “ gentlemen ” referred to?
hvd.32044080926181	Why did n't you tell me all this before?
hvd.32044080926181	Why did these men make this rapid detour of a single block and again proceed, with slackened pace, to follow the couple?
hvd.32044080926181	Why did you have that figure placed there?
hvd.32044080926181	Why do n't you look at the windows, boys?
hvd.32044080926181	Why was that?
hvd.32044080926181	Why, in short, a painstaking and laborious ambiguity, instead of an easy and simple certainty?
hvd.32044080926181	Why, indeed?
hvd.32044080926181	Why, then, did you assert it as your belief that James Moreton's corpse was buried between ten and eleven o'clock on the night of June 13th?
hvd.32044080926181	Why, then, should a man care what characters will be written after his total is struck?
hvd.32044080926181	Why?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you be good enough to tell me how you account for all this?"
hvd.32044080926181	Will you explain this more specifically?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you give me their names, please?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you not suffer me to explain?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you open the door? ” “ Yes, I'll open it, but I'm not the man you're after."
hvd.32044080926181	Will you please remove your coat and bare your left forearm?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you state what bearing this has upon your conclusion?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you swear that Eric Montrose knew the con- tents of that bundle?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you swear that it did not contain a corpse?
hvd.32044080926181	Will you wait, or shall we hitch the horses and go meet him?"
hvd.32044080926181	Wo n't he be surprised, though, to find me here?
hvd.32044080926181	Would he have had time to do so before the arrival of the medical examiner?
hvd.32044080926181	Would n't that be sport,-for me, at least?
hvd.32044080926181	Would not that be a plausible explanation?
hvd.32044080926181	Would the man send me to the grave to increase my vitality? ” Moreton interrupted.
hvd.32044080926181	Would you please ask them at the office toto get this prescription filled, and send it to me at once?"
hvd.32044080926181	Yes, I know; but whereabouts in Jersey City?
hvd.32044080926181	Yes, it may be she thought to croon him to sleep, but what then?
hvd.32044080926181	You are positive, then, that Mr. Moreton was away on December 20th?
hvd.32044080926181	You are sure it was after three?
hvd.32044080926181	You ask, does not my granddaughter wear her own clothes?
hvd.32044080926181	You did n't know that, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	You do n't mean that James Moreton secured control of Te Toke, do you? ” Ned gasped.
hvd.32044080926181	You do not find it at all heady, do you? ” “ The thought is with you.
hvd.32044080926181	You do not under- stand- how should you?
hvd.32044080926181	You do not, of course, attach any meaning to this cabalistic daub?"
hvd.32044080926181	You expect to carry this adornment, then, to the day of your death?
hvd.32044080926181	You have a copy of it, I suppose?
hvd.32044080926181	You know how keen my scent is?
hvd.32044080926181	You know the mannerism I have of sticking the toe of my right boot on the floor and vibrating my foot like that, when thinking?
hvd.32044080926181	You like the pictures?"
hvd.32044080926181	You refer, of course, to the one in Washington? ” “ No, sir,"Marion replied.
hvd.32044080926181	You remember that cancer of Latour's which I was obliged to tell him could not be cured?
hvd.32044080926181	You rowed out from the shore, turned up the river a short distance, then proceeded in shore, and took on board a large bundle?
hvd.32044080926181	You say, “ if this be not it. ” You think this is the same weapon, do you not?
hvd.32044080926181	You tell me you can prove such a falsehood as that? ” “ Nothing easier, I assure you.
hvd.32044080926181	You under- stand what I mean, I trust?"
hvd.32044080926181	You'll not forget what I told you?"
hvd.32044080926181	am I not in earnest? ” 6 Doubtless,-dramatically! ” “ Oh!
hvd.32044080926181	and it was not a common lock either. ” “ And what did you find?
hvd.32044080926181	and suppose she should suddenly turn State's evidence and make a clean breast of it all?
hvd.32044080926181	ca n't I?
hvd.32044080926181	cleaned, classified, marked, and put away for future reference, besides which I've made a most important call. ” “ Indeed?"
hvd.32044080926181	did anyone ever hear the like of that?
hvd.32044080926181	did what, Tomo?"
hvd.32044080926181	do you see these five bright golden coins?
hvd.32044080926181	funny- funny trick, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	learned short, Tallizzically “ Well, Tomo, what do you say?"
hvd.32044080926181	must I get a laryngoscope and go inside for it? ” “ Now, pray calm yourself, ” said Dr. Carew depreca- tingly.

hvd.32044080926181	of my investment, which, considering the fact that I was'let in'on the ground floor ’ is n't quite so good as Bell Telephone, is it?"
hvd.32044080926181	there is cer- tainly motive enough to be found elsewhere without mis- trusting a woman;-yet who can tell?
hvd.32044080926181	un davetiphtherinoman in Preture of this it was 386 THE MYSTERY OF JUNE 13TH “ And Dr. Carew bought these men? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.32044080926181	what do I say?
hvd.32044080926181	what do you mean, George? ” ejaculated Willard.
hvd.32044080926181	what more but love?
hvd.32044080926181	what next?
hvd.32044080926181	what was your output last week?—What the week before?—What the week before that?
hvd.32044080926181	why have you called me back again after all these years? ” asks the voice.
hvd.32044080926181	why several?
hvd.32044080926181	why will you not let me explain?"
hvd.32044080926181	will you not listen to me? ” “ I have already listened to you to my everlasting sor- row.

hvd.32044080926181	yes, sir; he saw it put in the safe, same as I did. ” “ And where is he now?
hvd.32044080926181	“ And Charlie Bert's'jack- knife, George? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.32044080926181	“ And having but one, you —_? ” Mr. Reiss asked with a smile.
hvd.32044080926181	“ And how about those who have captured, and are planning to kill, Adrian Moreton?
hvd.32044080926181	“ And if it's what you think it is?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And is this new deal likely to go through?
hvd.32044080926181	“ And let you go alone?
hvd.32044080926181	“ And she'll be there? ” asked Moreton doubtfully.
hvd.32044080926181	“ And that is?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And then what?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And then, what?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And this is my friend, Eric Montrose; Eric, Mr. George Maitland.—Shall we sit down and chat a bit?
hvd.32044080926181	“ And what did Sheehan and Burke say to it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And what is that? ” Mr. Moreton took up the letter and pointed to what seemed a blot of ink near the signature.
hvd.32044080926181	“ And when Mr. Reiss finally entered, what occurred?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And why did you wish to harm him?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ And you do not know what passed between the two men?
hvd.32044080926181	“ And you think it is their intelligence rather than their morals which is diseased? ” said Maitland.
hvd.32044080926181	“ And you will not tell him?'
hvd.32044080926181	“ And you would name as co- respondent? ” “ Elbert Reiss."
hvd.32044080926181	“ And your proposition is? ” “ That I sue for divorce."
hvd.32044080926181	“ Any champagne?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Are n't you a little hasty in assuming that?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Are you not a physician, and am I not a gentleman, and have we not had dealings with the Madame? ” he continued, with a laugh.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Are you ready for the question?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Are you sure he went in here? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	“ But Te Toke? ” “ Te Toke need never know.
hvd.32044080926181	“ But how did it happen that they did not kill you when we surprised them?
hvd.32044080926181	“ But how, how melted? ” George asked.
hvd.32044080926181	“ But is there no way of preventing this outrageous robbery? ” Eric asked, with no attempt to conceal his indignation.
hvd.32044080926181	“ But what other motive can you even imagine? ” George asked.
hvd.32044080926181	“ But what was it?".
hvd.32044080926181	“ But when did he get time to do all this? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.32044080926181	“ But you killed the father?
hvd.32044080926181	“ But, George, where did she find these letters?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ By the way, how are our official friends coming on with the Moreton mystery?
hvd.32044080926181	“ By the way, speaking of Sheehan and Burke, have they seen this letter?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ By the way, to change the subject,"said Moreton, “ I have to go over to Jersey City this afternoon; why not come along with me?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Darling, can you forgive me?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did he enter some building?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did he know of the money?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did they win his confidence? ” “ Completely, I should judge, from the remark he made to me as they left."
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did you ever see a hole blown in metal by an ex- plosive? ” “ No, sir, never;—at least never before."
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did you ever see two finer couples?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did you miss me when I went away? ” “ Ah, miss you! ” replies Tarore.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Did you, in all your experience, ever hear of any- thing more utterly inexplicable? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do I get some dividends pretty soon, eh? ” “ I'm afraid not yet awhile, ” Eric replied.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do n't you suppose I can tell the difference between the work of a chisel and a knife?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you know him?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you know how this came upon the floor?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you know the signifi- cance of these figures so carefully damascened into the metal?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you know what there is in here?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you mean that he proposes to pay five million dol- lars spot cash?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you mean that you can tell the difference be- tween the work of two operators using the same ma- chine?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you mean to say that you think they will eat your employer? ” “ If possible, yes,"Tomo replied."
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you not see that you are losing ground every day?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you think I could do it? ” he asked, with touch- ing eagerness.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you think it possible they could have buried the body here? ” asked the doctor, as they returned again to the place where the hound stopped.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Do you wish me to check the proxies?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Doc, it seems ages, does n't it, since we've had a real good pow- wow? ” said George.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Even so, what of it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Excuse me, sir, but can you tell me what this number is? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	“ For heaven's sake, George, what do you mean?
hvd.32044080926181	“ For what?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Gentlemen, ” he said, with full, measured utterance, “ are you going to tolerate such an outrage as this?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Granted: but what of it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Half a century ago, eh? ” he said, with a yawn of indifference."
hvd.32044080926181	“ Have I not heard them call you “ Wi Tako'? ” asks the white man.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Have I not heard your missionaries say the laughter of the grape is a mocking laugh? ” asked the old man severely.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Have you ever noticed, on the beardless portions of his face, an elaborate, blue tracery? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Have you received one of these? ” he asked excitedly.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Have you seen our father and our sister? ” con- tinues Karaka.
hvd.32044080926181	“ How can I? ” said Maitland, spreading out his hands helplessly.
hvd.32044080926181	“ How do you make that out?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ How goes The International Wireless? ” asked Mait- land.
hvd.32044080926181	“ How is everything?
hvd.32044080926181	“ How say you?
hvd.32044080926181	“ How say you?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ How?
hvd.32044080926181	“ I dare say Burke, being of a meddlesome disposition, will want to do a bit of the digging, eh, Terry?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ I do — just that"6_But the Bell Company?
hvd.32044080926181	“ I give it up then, who was it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ I give you back all your pledges. ” “ What do you say, ” said George, “ to spreading this personal a bit ourselves?
hvd.32044080926181	“ I say, Eric, ” said Reiss, after one of Moreton's talkative visits, “ our capitalistic friend has a deal of self- confidence, has n't he?
hvd.32044080926181	“ I'm'most afraid I'll have to cut it open to get the hook back. ” “ How about the star?
hvd.32044080926181	“ If living he would be quite an old man now, would he not?
hvd.32044080926181	“ If they are not here it will look rather bad for him, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	“ In the meantime?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Indeed? ” There was unmistakable surprise in Mait- land's tone.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is he like his brother? ” “ Oh, not in the least! ” exclaimed Eric.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is it a hollow key?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is it so very different, eh, when both the gentleman and the physician are under one hat?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is it you?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is that your man?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is the defence ready?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Is the young woman not wearing her own clothes? ” “ Peace!
hvd.32044080926181	“ It does look a bit black for White, if you can imagine such a thing,-doesn't it?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Listen: the tongues of those two boards were whittled off with a jackknife. ” “ Why a knife instead of a chisel?
hvd.32044080926181	“ May I look at the weapon?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ May I not have your decision now? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080926181	“ May I see your proxy, please? ”"Rachel Eichberg, thirty- five shares, ” said Mr. White, producing a paper.
hvd.32044080926181	“ May — may I see you alone for a few moments?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Mine? — Why, I made my tracing from letters I borrowed from Dr. Carew,"answered the doctor.
hvd.32044080926181	“ No, what is it?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Now proceed likewise with 18, and what do you get? ”.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Now what I want to know is, how did “ Charlie Bert'remove James Moreton's dead body from that room?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Oh, sir, it must have been what Te Toke put in the papers that did it! ”"Did it?
hvd.32044080926181	“ One moment, please, ” said James Moreton;"any middle initial? ” “ No; plain John White, ” replied the dark man.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Reiss is looking thin, pale and haggard can you imagine it?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Romeo's dagger?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Shall I dig, or do you want to come down in here yourselves?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Since I am to die and be eaten, what can it matter to you by whose hand I fall?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ So I am to be killed, am I?
hvd.32044080926181	“ So Mr. James Morton, I mean Moreton, do n't you know,-fell in love with one of the daughters of your tribe, did he?
hvd.32044080926181	“ So you're a ‘ Britisher'with yellow mutton- chops, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	“ The Romeo and Juliet there, with the life- size figures, is it not capital?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Then you did n't ascertain who or what extinguished the electric lights?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Then you do not know what you write?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Upon what grounds?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ WELL, Eric, how goes the invention?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Was there ever a murder committed more unusual than this in many of its essential details?
hvd.32044080926181	“ We're trying to explain the impossible, are n't we?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, Doc, what do you think of it? ” was his first question.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, George, what have you discovered now? ” asked Dr. Willard the moment his friend entered his pres- ence.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, and if so, what then? ” “ What then?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, and if so, what then? ” “ What then?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, now, what do you think of it all?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, what do you say?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Well, what of it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ What business have you with me?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ What did he do, George? ” questioned Willard.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What do you mean by that?
hvd.32044080926181	“ What do you mean?

hvd.32044080926181	“ What do you propose to do, Tomo? ” he asked, as they reached the horses.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What do you think of it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ What does your charter say regarding sale of the entire property of the company?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ What has happened to Elbert?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ What has happened to cause this remarkable change of senti- ment? ” “ It's a sickening recital, ” replied Eric.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What has happened?
hvd.32044080926181	“ What have we here? ” he asks.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What is that lozenge- shaped discoloration just below and a little to the right of the wound you have mentioned?
hvd.32044080926181	“ What is the matter; working too hard? ” “ No, indeed!
hvd.32044080926181	“ What is to be done, Matuku?
hvd.32044080926181	“ What more can there be?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ What of that?
hvd.32044080926181	“ What of that? ” the doctor replied.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What would you have? ” are the faintly audible words it utters.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What, for instance? ” “ I have it!
hvd.32044080926181	“ What, that accidental blot? ” “ It is not a blot- neither is it accidental,"said Moreton.
hvd.32044080926181	“ What, what was exposed? ” asked Willard.
hvd.32044080926181	“ When does • Charlie Bert's'trial begin?
hvd.32044080926181	“ When, in your opinion, did he dispose of his victim's body? ” The Court( to witness).
hvd.32044080926181	“ Where did you get yours?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Where did you say the body lay?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Where do you live? ”"On Jerome Avenue, Harlem. ” “ Did you spend last night at home? ” The young man hesitated.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Where do you live? ”"On Jerome Avenue, Harlem. ” “ Did you spend last night at home? ” The young man hesitated.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Where was that? ” Again a crimson wave suffused the young man's face.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Which couple is to be married first, Mrs. Moreton and Eric? ” “ No; Miss Sherwood and Elbert, I believe, ” said Wil- lard.
hvd.32044080926181	“ Which is more than it will be worth, George; for how can a dog follow a trail over which a body was carried?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Who calls?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Who is the lady? ” 6 Miss Sherwood!"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Who is the one man,—Adrian Moreton?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Who told you, my son, that my power was measured in years?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Why are you sticking that into me?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Why?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Will you mind if we leave you by yourself for just a little while?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Will you not help me?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Will you take your name off my proxy, or shall I write my name on you?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Worse?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Would n't you think this were the Darrow case, Doc?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Would not a boy do better with a reed?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Would you mind asking him?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Yes, I saw them last night. ” “ Are you sure we can depend on them when the real crisis comes?
hvd.32044080926181	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Did Mr. Moreton comment upon it?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ Yes?
hvd.32044080926181	“ You and I know each other well, or at least we used to,—and I think we can afford to be entirely candid, can we not?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ You are Mr. Maitland, are you not?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ You are waiting to see Mr. Reiss?
hvd.32044080926181	“ You could probably control about one- fifth of the total stock then for a certainty?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ You do n't, eh?
hvd.32044080926181	“ You kept Mr. Moreton's books, did you not?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ You know how such directors'meetings usually go?
hvd.32044080926181	“ You know that cipher, Ned? ” 66 Yes."
hvd.32044080926181	“ You must. ” “ Well, then, they were not. ” “ John White?"
hvd.32044080926181	“ You say you were visiting a lady here on West Forty- eighth Street?

hvd.hnn5fh	A case in some way connected with the law, I sup- pose? ” Claire asked. hvd.hnn5fh A fine set of Cellini plate, I presume?"
hvd.hnn5fh	And Padini?
hvd.hnn5fh	And had n't I got my work to do?
hvd.hnn5fh	Anybody else inside the cab?
hvd.hnn5fh	Are you and Serena alone in the house?
hvd.hnn5fh	But how does this give Anstruther such a hold on you? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	But suppose you have a dear friend in whom you are interested? hvd.hnn5fh Did n't you tell me that the police had no special orders as far as the bank was concerned?
hvd.hnn5fh	Did they go back in the direction of Anstruther's house? hvd.hnn5fh Did you ever see the evil face in the heart of a pansy blossom? ” he asked, for there was a pause in the con- versation.
hvd.hnn5fh	How did you manage it?
hvd.hnn5fh	I mean, did you see any of it?
hvd.hnn5fh	I suppose you can understand what is said to you?
hvd.hnn5fh	In what way have I been mistaken?
hvd.hnn5fh	Is that really you, Jack?
hvd.hnn5fh	Oh, that foreign- looking chap, is it?
hvd.hnn5fh	Oh, you will not laugh at me, you will not make fun of what I am going to say? hvd.hnn5fh So you have actually seen the man before? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hnn5fh	Then you ca n't tell us anything about them?
hvd.hnn5fh	Was he rude, or did he use anything like violence?
hvd.hnn5fh	We know he is dead; did we not read it in the papers? hvd.hnn5fh What do you mean by three? ” Rigby asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	What is the blackguard doing in my study? hvd.hnn5fh What object do you expect to gain by this course?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What would you have of me to- night?
hvd.hnn5fh	Who are you?
hvd.hnn5fh	Why do you stand like a schoolboy staring into a shop window? hvd.hnn5fh Why not make a clean breast of it?
hvd.hnn5fh	Would n't it be as well, ” he suggested, “ that you also found it convenient to pass the night at the Great Metropolitan? hvd.hnn5fh Would you mind telling me what it is?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You had no notion of the magician's name, then?
hvd.hnn5fh	'Ow long since anybody has lived there?".
hvd.hnn5fh	* Now, what do you make of that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	* Would you like to see Bates now?"
hvd.hnn5fh	114 The Yellow Face But what is more to the point, I want to know what has become of my brother? ” “ Your brother!"
hvd.hnn5fh	137 138 The Yellow Face “ Who is that loafer yonder?"
hvd.hnn5fh	168 The Yellow Face “ She did not write to you, she did not communicate with you in any way?"
hvd.hnn5fh	2, so to speak, and Lord Barmouth are not the same man?
hvd.hnn5fh	6. Who are you that you should have all the luck like this?
hvd.hnn5fh	A Vanished Clue 43 “ Not even a laundry mark?"
hvd.hnn5fh	About the jewels, I meau?"
hvd.hnn5fh	After this, perhaps, you may be disposed to say more on the subject?'
hvd.hnn5fh	Again, why should he doubt the fact that something terribly out of the common had happened to Rigby after his own amazing ex- periences?
hvd.hnn5fh	Ah, what did I tell you?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Ai n't you going to buy one?"
hvd.hnn5fh	And 260 The Yellow Face that friend had done somebody a great wrong?
hvd.hnn5fh	And all the time they were some two miles apart?"
hvd.hnn5fh	And now tell me, to change the subject, what is your private opinion of Spencer Anstruther? ”.
hvd.hnn5fh	And sup- posing that Anstruther knew all this?
hvd.hnn5fh	And what class of people live there? ” Rigby asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	And where do you suppose I found that to- night?
hvd.hnn5fh	And who am I, a humble servant like me, to ask questions of my master?"
hvd.hnn5fh	And yet I do n't know; it occurred to me that there was something very pathetic and at the same time kindly about Barmouth's 124 Which Man Was It?
hvd.hnn5fh	And yet the whole thing can be explained; I am sure you can explain it yourself if you like?".
hvd.hnn5fh	And, if it comes to that, what are you doing here too?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Anything of value inside?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Are you quite sure of that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	As man to man, is he a magnificent genius or the greatest criminal the world has ever seen?".
hvd.hnn5fh	As to myself'“ But have you no private safe of your own?"
hvd.hnn5fh	At any rate, I have always been in- 296 The Yellow Face “ Will you be good enough to step this way for a moment?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Bates?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Besides, how are we to know how many other Nostalgos have not dropped into Anstruther's net through those diabolical posters?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Bit of burglary, ai n't it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But are you quite sure that the figure you saw in the courtyard at Montrose Place last night was my husband?
hvd.hnn5fh	But as to Anstruther?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But perhaps you know who she is? ” “ I know perfectly well who she is,"Jack said, “ though the knowledge has come to me quite recently.
hvd.hnn5fh	But tell me now, do you see any likeness between An- struther and myself?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But tell me, are your affairs in such a state as that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But tell me, does Lord Barmouth take any kind of interest in these festivities of yours?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But the pawnbrokers?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But what are you driving at?
hvd.hnn5fh	But who can say what was uppermost in the mind of Anstruther?
hvd.hnn5fh	But who is she?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But why are you so curious about this scarf?".
hvd.hnn5fh	But why do you ask?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But why do you so suddenly spring this question upon me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But why stay here, why linger, when your tardiness is likely to increase our trouble?"
hvd.hnn5fh	But you are a man of pluck and courage — why ca n't you fight him in the open?
hvd.hnn5fh	By the way, did n't you tell me that you were going to see Miss Helmsley to- night?
hvd.hnn5fh	By the way, is n't Masefield a friend of yours?".
hvd.hnn5fh	CHAPTER X WHAT DID SHE KNOW?
hvd.hnn5fh	CHAPTER XXXIII GEMS OR PASTE?
hvd.hnn5fh	Ca n't you guess that there is something more than meets the eye here?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Ca n't you recognize the voice?
hvd.hnn5fh	Ca n't you smell it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Can I take that for granted?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Can you suggest any common sense solution?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Confess it now: did not you regard me as a poor dependent of Mr. An- struther's, without so much as a penny of my own?
hvd.hnn5fh	Could it have been possible that this new artist had been concealed in the Panton Square library two nights before?
hvd.hnn5fh	Diamonds, were n't they?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Dick, is it too late to get a paragraph inserted in to- morrow's Planet?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did I never tell you of the jewels that my grandmother left me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did Masefield notice anything about it peculiar?
hvd.hnn5fh	Did anybody happen to notice the firm whose hoarding the deceased man was found against?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did it ever occur to you that Anstruther is not unlike those pictures?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Did not appeal to your suspicions, I mean? ” « Not a bit of it.
hvd.hnn5fh	Did she understand what she was doing when she pro- posed to measure her strength against his?
hvd.hnn5fh	Did they take a cab?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did you ever hear Mr. Anstruther play in that style and manner before?
hvd.hnn5fh	Did you ever meet an individual out there called Seymour?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did you follow me just now?
hvd.hnn5fh	Did you happen to notice if Padini was wearing a Hom- burg hat this afternoon?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did you keep your cab?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Did you notice that particular slur, that strange half hesitation?
hvd.hnn5fh	Did, for instance, Anstruther believe in the legends of terrible revenges which these people used to inflict upon their enemies?
hvd.hnn5fh	Distinctly annoying, do n't you think?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do I interest you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do n't those briefs come in as freely as you would like?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do n't you recall how Anstruther breaks out into yellow patches when he is excited or angry?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do n't you recollect the case of the Phoenix Park murders?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do n't you see how easy he can prove an alibi?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do n't you think we are rather making a mountain out of a molehill?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you follow me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you get my voice quite clearly?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you hap- pen to know any of the titled women who are asked?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you happen to remember Ferris?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you know anybody who could help us? ”"I know one who could help you who is not very far off, dear old boy,"Claire smiled.
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you know that unfortunate lady? ” “ If you do not mind, I would much rather you did not press that question,"Nostalgo said, coldly.
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you know who this fellow is?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you know you are dealing with a gentleman and man of honor? ” “ Softly, softly,"Bates replied.
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you mean to say that he has been here to- night? ”."
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you mean to say you have met Ferris?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you suppose I do not know how disloyal you are in your heart towards me?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you think I have studied you all these years for nothing?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you think it possible that Serena could enlighten us on this point as she appears to know all about it?
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you think it wise to remain in sight, and thus give him a chance to recognize you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you want any greater proof than that, that Seymour was working in my own rooms to- night?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you want me to come along with you now?"'
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you want to earn an extra half- sovereign? ”.
hvd.hnn5fh	Do you want your jewels in such a hurry?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Does anybody suspect us?
hvd.hnn5fh	Does not the outline of her figure give you something to go on?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Eh, what?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Elegant, is it not?
hvd.hnn5fh	For some time past I have felt What Did She Know?
hvd.hnn5fh	Foreigner, ai n't he?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Gems or Paste?
hvd.hnn5fh	Gems or Paste?
hvd.hnn5fh	Had the confer- ence next door finished, or was it merely an interlude?
hvd.hnn5fh	Have I not guessed it correctly?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Have I seen anything, or do I know any- thing of this Padini?
hvd.hnn5fh	Have they offered any reward for the discovery of the body?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Have you fixed upon him yet?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Have you published any- thing at all?"
hvd.hnn5fh	He nodded to 74 What Did She Know?
hvd.hnn5fh	How did he manage it?".
hvd.hnn5fh	How do you propose to get at the facts? ” “ By examining the bill with the aid of a strong magni- fying glass.
hvd.hnn5fh	How is it that you can find your way about this house in so familiar a manner? ” “ Ah, that is not so obvious, ” Nostalgo replied.
hvd.hnn5fh	How much over ten thousand pounds would this fetch at Christie's?
hvd.hnn5fh	I The Man With the Fair Moustache 73 suppose you have seen nothing of him- a tall, slim young man, with rather a fierce type of moustache?"."
hvd.hnn5fh	I dare say you have some quiet country place that we could go to?".
hvd.hnn5fh	I expect my case puzzled the doctor, did it not?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I have no doubt that, being a detective, you have such a thing in your pocket at the present moment?
hvd.hnn5fh	I have the advantage of you here, and I am going to keep it. ” “ Who the deuce are you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I hope you un- derstood that I was speaking to you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I mean the man whose body so mysteriously vanished from the Shannon Street station?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I presume there will be some sort of proceedings against Anstruther this morning?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I suppose that Carrington is a friend of Anstruther's?".
hvd.hnn5fh	I suppose there is not the slightest chance of your guardian coming up to- night? ” Claire replied that it did not look like it.
hvd.hnn5fh	I suppose we had better leave all that there; look better, do n't you think?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I suppose you have got some matches in your pocket?"
hvd.hnn5fh	I suppose you know where it is kept?".
hvd.hnn5fh	I wonder if my friend the inspector will be disposed to accept my suggestion?".
hvd.hnn5fh	If not, why does she look at Padini in that scornful way?"
hvd.hnn5fh	In any case, why worry about him to- night?
hvd.hnn5fh	In the spurt of flame which followed, I had a perfect view of his face. ” “ Would you mind describing what you saw?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Interrupting my narrative for a mo- ment- have either of you ever noticed a faint resemblance between Anstruther and any other Nostalgo like myself?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is it about Carrington?
hvd.hnn5fh	Is it all that time?
hvd.hnn5fh	Is it possible he has vanished through the skylight?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is it to be nothing but Chopin to- night?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Is not that so?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is that coincidence or an amazing hap- pening?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is that him playing now, Jack? ”.
hvd.hnn5fh	Is that so?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is that the letter on the table?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is there anything more I can do for you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Is there anything more to wait for? ” Carrington disappeared within the strong room again for a last look round, followed by Anstruther.
hvd.hnn5fh	It occurred to Jack, in an idle kind of way, that perhaps Carrington was deceiving Anstruther, or why had he not come straight to the hotel?
hvd.hnn5fh	It seemed absolutely childish to be- lieve that sane men would do this kind of thing, especially Which Man Was It?
hvd.hnn5fh	Jack asked- his fears had rendered him a little impatient, “ and what have you to be afraid of?
hvd.hnn5fh	Jack, am I suddenly growing nervous or fanciful?
hvd.hnn5fh	Jack, do n't you notice something strange about it? ” “ I should say that I do, ” Jack said.
hvd.hnn5fh	Let's go and call upon the beggar, shall we?
hvd.hnn5fh	Masefield was dressed for the part, so to speak, and would he not remain?
hvd.hnn5fh	May I ask, have you ever been in Mexico?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Might I beg the favor of a card for a friend of mine?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Miss Helmsley, whose face does this saffron heart of the pansy remind you of?"
hvd.hnn5fh	My dearest boy, do you want me to go down on my knees, and implore you to marry me?
hvd.hnn5fh	My sister in the house of that man?
hvd.hnn5fh	Need I describe that face, Mr. Masefield?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Need I go into the matter of that service of Cellini plate?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Need I say any more?"
hvd.hnn5fh	No palmistry, I presume?"
hvd.hnn5fh	No- body interrupting you- seen nothing of the police or any- thing of that kind? ”"No doubt as to who that is,"Rigby whispered.
hvd.hnn5fh	No?
hvd.hnn5fh	Nobody else touched it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now can you tell me anything?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now what do you make of that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now what does this mean?
hvd.hnn5fh	Now who is he, and how does he know all this?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Now will you come inside my room?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, can you tell me that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, did you ever notice his likeness to anybody?
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, do n't you think that those people must have been of an exceedingly high state of civilization?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, do you think he had anything to do with last night's busi- ness; otherwise what do you suppose he called for?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, do you think you could find that programme for me?
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, frankly speaking, are you not a little puzzled to know how to lay Anstruther by the heels?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, how did you know that we were in the same bedroom to- gether?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, is there anything else we can do to- night?
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, tell me if my suspicions are correctis not this Seymour'and our missing Nostalgo one and the same person?
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, tell me, was the man I speak of a visitor to this house last night?
hvd.hnn5fh	Now, what is he up to?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Of course you know Mr. Spencer Anstruther very well by name?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Of course, you have got the cash in your pocket?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Of course, you know how Anstruther is dressed?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Of course, you see the importance of finding out who posted that bill?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Or have you been quarreling?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Pretty hot, is n't it?
hvd.hnn5fh	Really, now, was that unfortunate man so very like the wonderful poster of which London has had to say so much of late?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Rigby asked,"or would you not like to see Barmouth first?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Seen the Planet to- day?
hvd.hnn5fh	Shall I come round there, or will you come round here?
hvd.hnn5fh	Shall we ask him in?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Shall we take a cab, or would it not be more safe for us to walk? ” Panton Square was reached at length, and No.
hvd.hnn5fh	Shall we wait on events, or shall we open the window and yell for assistance?
hvd.hnn5fh	She could not have less than a hundred acquaintances she has made in this way. ”* Then you ca n't help me out in this way?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Shortly after din- ner last night Spencer Anstruther went directly to his study; Which Man Was It?
hvd.hnn5fh	Singular, was it not?"
hvd.hnn5fh	So ghosts about here, I sup- pose?"
hvd.hnn5fh	So long as it is daylight, I do n't think we have much to fear from Anstruther and Co. Do you think the light shows through the window?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Somebody laughed What Did She Know?
hvd.hnn5fh	Sort of striking theatrical get- up, do n't you think?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Still, we have plenty of time to find out. ” “ Do you really think that is paper? ” Rigby asked."
hvd.hnn5fh	Suppose that the whole dramatic thing had failed in its purpose?
hvd.hnn5fh	Supposing that the bank was mysteriously robbed — the safes forced open and all that kind of thing?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Surely you can tell me the name of it and where it came from?
hvd.hnn5fh	Surely your own experience must have taught you what strange crea- tures one often sees as caretakers in good houses?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Tell me, have you ever seen it before?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Tell me, tell me,"he said, “ do you think you can recollect the names of all the pieces that Anstruther played last night?
hvd.hnn5fh	The Cellini Plate 253 “ What is to be done next?"
hvd.hnn5fh	The deep, clear ring- CHAPTER XVII WHICH MAN WAS IT?
hvd.hnn5fh	The point is, do you know him?"
hvd.hnn5fh	To carry the thing to a logical conclusion, if Barmouth had been like that when he went away, why should he be so dreadfully troubled about it now?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Was Anstruther, therefore, a consummate master of his art or a showy 67 68 The Yellow Face humbug or charlatan?
hvd.hnn5fh	Was he wrapped up or shawled in any way?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Was it a police matter?
hvd.hnn5fh	Was it possible that imagination had played some trick on her?
hvd.hnn5fh	Was no one about — was the whole place deserted, whereby some stranger could have coolly stepped in and walked off with the body of a powerful man?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Was she going to be defiant?
hvd.hnn5fh	Was this one of Anstruther's cases, or did it possess a far deeper significance?
hvd.hnn5fh	Were you satisfied just now?
hvd.hnn5fh	What Did SHE KNOW?
hvd.hnn5fh	What Did She Know?
hvd.hnn5fh	What can Lady Barmouth's brother have to do with it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What did I tell you? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	What do I mean?
hvd.hnn5fh	What do you make it out to be?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What do you pro- pose to do?
hvd.hnn5fh	What do you suppose has become of those diamonds, Mr. Masefield?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What do you think of it- old oak and old blue china with Flemish pictures of the best school?
hvd.hnn5fh	What do you think, Mr. Bates?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What does it all mean?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What does the inspector think of our little scheme?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What have I done that I should have to endure all this — what can be possibly gained by it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What is all this row about? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnn5fh	What is that I see down below?
hvd.hnn5fh	What is worrying you so much, dearest?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What other conclusion do you come to than that Carring- ton is returning presently, and is bringing a friend with him?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What then?
hvd.hnn5fh	What time did he come?".
hvd.hnn5fh	What was I after?
hvd.hnn5fh	What were you doing in Mr. Carrington's flat last night?".
hvd.hnn5fh	What would you say if I were to prophesy that you are going to add largely to your treasures in the course of the next few days?
hvd.hnn5fh	What's that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What, do you mean a new projectile or a new sort of small arm?"
hvd.hnn5fh	What?
hvd.hnn5fh	When An- struther locked that bedroom door just now, do you really suppose he imagined there was anybody on the premises?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Where does he get those wonderful embroidered scarves from?"."
hvd.hnn5fh	Where is the other?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Which John Smith? ” Mr. Carrington asked, with a smile.
hvd.hnn5fh	Which Man Was IT?
hvd.hnn5fh	Who on earth do you suppose is in the house?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Who, then, was it who fired the bullet?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Why did Anstruther publish those Nostalgo posters at all?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Why do n't you go about your business and leave me to mine?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Why not come with me and see Mr. Seymour now?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Why not go outside and tell everybody what we are going to do?
hvd.hnn5fh	Why not, therefore, leave him and throw in your lot with us?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Why should he interest himself in an apparently broken- down hypochondriac?
hvd.hnn5fh	Why should we keep the matter a secret?
hvd.hnn5fh	Why so grave and silent?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Why, then, was he so callous on this occasion?
hvd.hnn5fh	Will the gentleman kindly seal the packet, and will another gentleman kindly offer to take care of it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Will you be so good as to hand me over my jewels?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Will you obey me or not?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Will you please look at it carefully?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Will you please take a seat?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Will you see if he is ready to receive me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Will you take a seat for a moment, Lady Barmouth?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Without going into details, shall I be successful?
hvd.hnn5fh	Wo n't you go away even now and leave it all to me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	Wonderful work, is it not?"."
hvd.hnn5fh	Would it surprise you to know that this Padini is the hus- band of the poor woman who has just gone out? ”.
hvd.hnn5fh	Would n't it be a fine thing to earn that reward?".
hvd.hnn5fh	Would n't it be a good thing to find out if An- struther had ever been to Mexico? ” “ Of course it would, ” Jack exclaimed.
hvd.hnn5fh	Would you be surprised to hear that this young man was no less a person than Signor Padini?".
hvd.hnn5fh	You are not going already, Jack?
hvd.hnn5fh	You are not going already?".
hvd.hnn5fh	You are rather surprised to find anything of this kind here, eh?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You do n't suggest that An- struther carried that service of plate home with him?"."
hvd.hnn5fh	You have been in Mexico?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You have heard of this new violinist, Signor Padini, I suppose?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You have n't?
hvd.hnn5fh	You have not traveled much, I presume? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	You have seen him when he has been greatly moved to passion, I suppose?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You know the City and Provincial Bank?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You know what it represents, of course? ” “ Well, naturally.
hvd.hnn5fh	You understand what I mean? ” It was quite evident that Serena understood the full significance of Anstruther's speech.
hvd.hnn5fh	You will not deny your identity?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You will recollect meeting me at Carring- ton's last night?"
hvd.hnn5fh	You will undergo the operation?".
hvd.hnn5fh	do you see that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	ir You think Lord Barmouth and James Smith are the same person? ” Serena cried.
hvd.hnn5fh	of anybody?
hvd.hnn5fh	why do you hesitate?"
hvd.hnn5fh	yes! ” Lady Barmouth cried; “ but what about me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	« Did you hear that? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Ah, how do you do, Mr. Masefield?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ And about when would that be?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ And did the expedition come up to expectations?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ And what are you going to do now? ” asked the latter, “ Oh, I shall go off and stay at the Great Metropolitan.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ And what is the upshot of all this to be? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ And what might be your business with me, in- spector?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Anything fresh in regard to the affair you mean?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Anything hap- pened?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Are we The Shadow on the Wall all here, or is Carrington late again?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Are we going straight away to Montrose Place?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Are we going to stand fooling here all night? ” he exclaimed angrily.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But how did you know we were here at all?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But it is usual to pledge such valuable jewels in this casual way?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But surely you see something?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But tell me, has anything fresh happened since last night?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But what are the police going to do about it, Mr. Masefield?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But where's the person in the room who let the young lady in?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But why be so fearfully afraid of Anstruther?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But why did An- struther desire to have you put out of the way like that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But why did you not tell me that our mysterious friend was practically a hunchback?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But you do n't suggest that the man really was made up, do you?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But you do n't suppose that Mr. Anstruther knows?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ But, surely,"he urged, “ you would be doing no harm in telling us if a foreign gentleman called here last night?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Can I set you down anywhere, Mr. Mase- field?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Can you bring this about?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Can you make nothing of her features? ” Jack asked eagerly.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Can you tell us where they come from?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Could n't you let me see it for a minute or two?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Could you come home with me?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did Anstruther go out again last night?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did I not say that Anstruther and Co. would very kindly get the care- 246 The Yellow Face takers out of the way for us?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did n't you get my telephone message?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did you ever hear anything like it?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did you ever know of a case in point?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did you find anything of the missing stuff?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did you happen to see anything of Padini?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Did you take any particular note of the man's appearance?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do n't you agree with me that this strange ap- parition has something to do with the story?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do n't you see that she was talking to us?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do n't you think that you had better search his pockets?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you call Zimburg a really clever detective? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you know this is likely to cost Lord Barmouth something like fifty thousand pounds?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you mean to say we are going to keep a vigil there to- night?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you mean to say you could forget a thing like that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you mean to tell me that you have not had a visit to- day from Signor Padini?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you really think that our friend actually engineered that business at Lord Longworth's?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you suppose that I indulge in practical joking?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you think he is likely to be of any assistance to me?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Do you want to take one?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Does anything strike you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Funny thing, is n't it, that you and I should 104 Nostalgo Again 105 be conspiring here, within a pistol shot of Shannon Street police station?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Going to make it all smooth for us, are you?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Good gracious, man, have you no pluck at all?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Had not you better go down and arouse my guardian?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have n't you got anybody on your staff with a knowl- edge of international crime?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you a feeling, like myself, of having gone through all this before?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you a wife depending on you, or one you love?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you any more left?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you any reason to show why I should not take you straight to Bow Street on the charge of burglary?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you discovered who it was?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you got keys of all these?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you seen Seymour in the daylight, just as he is?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Have you seen a ghost or something equally terrible?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How am I to know what Anstruther wants unless he tells me beforehand?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How are you getting on?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How can I possibly tell?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How could you prove such a statement?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How did it come about, Jack?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How do you manage then?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How is it you never bring your violin up to the draw- ing- room?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How long have you been in the house?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How now, you secret, black, and midnight bags?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ How on earth did you manage that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Hullo! ” the latter said, “ where did you turn up from?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ I am a bigger man than you are,"Jack said, “ Do you come quietly, or are you going to take it fighting?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ I am going to take Claire back to lunch with me,"Gems or Paste?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ I hope nothing wrong has happened?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ I should like nothing better than a chance to discuss this matter at length — but Lord Barmouth?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ I suppose you were not very far away?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ I suppose your friend explained to you that this little job will put twenty pounds in your pocket?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ In that case,"Jack said, “ is it not a strange coinci- dence that they should be manufacturing these Nostalgo The Shadow on the Wall posters?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is it possible that this burglary was the work of some guests invited to the house?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is it some new science?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is it too much to hope that you can cure me as you cured my friend Ferris?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is n't it wonderful?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is that you, Inspector Bates? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is there any more to be done to- night?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Is there anything I can do for you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Jack, what is the meaning of this strange mys- tery?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Jack, you have found something out?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ May I intrude upon you for another five min- utes?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Must I really tell you that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ My dear boy, what is the matter?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ My good sir, do you know that we have some two thousand five hundred accounts at our City branch?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ No damage done, eh?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Nobody could tamper with it during the time you had it, I suppose?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Now I put it to you, as a man supposed to be possessed of sense- would any thief leave a single item of value behind?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Now, are you quite sure you have made no mistake about your master?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Now, what do you think of that? ” Rigby asked eagerly.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Now, what on earth are you driving at, guv'nor? ” he growled.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Now, what's the matter? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Now, where have I seen that fellow before? ” he muttered.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Oh, dear, no,"Nostalgo said; “ do you suppose that I can think of no more terrible revenge than that?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Oh, my last fare, is it?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Oh, what is the use of wasting your time and mine like this?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Or, where did those medicine men derive their knowledge of surgery?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Paper, sir?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Per- haps you have heard of the Nostalgo devil whom I found dead the other night in Panton Square?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Quite so, inspector; but does that apply to the harm- less, necessary mustard advertisement?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Shall we stop here, or do you want to proceed further before you go to bed?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ So you are none the worse for your last night's adventure, Serena?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ So you know that sorry blackguard, do you? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Something strange come out at the inquest?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Something that affects my husband's case?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Surely I put two on the table?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Surely my eyes did not deceive me, surely I saw two men in a death struggle there as I came into the court- yard?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ That letter came from another business house, I pre- sume, sir?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Then you do n't even know who printed the posters? ” Jack asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Then, what about the electric light?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ There, what did I tell you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Was there a break at all in the performance?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Well, what do you think of that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What are you thinking about, Jack?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What class of man was the fellow who insisted on pushing his way into the house like this?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What did she say?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What did you do that for?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What do you make of that?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What do you mean by asking that question?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What do you mean by keeping me waiting all this time?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What do you propose to do now?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What do you think of that, my friend?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What have any of us done to bring ourselves within the reach of the law- at present?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What have you to say for yourself?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What is the good of trying to establish all sorts of new theories when you have not so much as a dead body of the deceased man be- fore you?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What is the use of wasting my time like this?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What was that idea of yours about the cotton waste?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What was the strange thing that you noticed about your guardian's playing?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ What's the programme? ” he asked, completing the illusion with a short clap pipe.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Where are you going to?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Where is it going to end?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Which did not attract your attention?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Who are you?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Whoever would have thought it?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Whose features does it remind you of just now, Jack?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Why did Anstruther cause all those posters to be placed on the principal hoardings of London?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Why did you allow him to follow us here at all?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Why do you come and bully a poor woman like this?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Why so silent?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Will you be good enough to step inside my room?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Would you mind giving me the score?
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Would you mind telling me what he is wearing?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ Would you mind telling me who that is? ” Jack asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ You can not get the jewels yourself? ” Lady Bar- mouth asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ You did not follow them further, I suppose? ” Mase- field asked.
hvd.hnn5fh	“ You have utterly forgotten one thing- did you not tell me there were two night watchmen on the premises?"
hvd.hnn5fh	“ You kept it under lock and key?".
hvd.hnn5fh	“ You were not taken into the secret?"
hvd.hnn5fh	• Would you mind playing me one?"
hvd.hnn6vs	About Cicely? ” she asked in her frankly audacious way. hvd.hnn6vs And Sir Malcolm? ” enquired Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	And are these all your troubles now, Mary? ” he enquired. hvd.hnn6vs And now what about the window?
hvd.hnn6vs	And partly what else? ” “ Partly puzzled — and partly ashamed. ” “ Ashamed! ” he exclaimed with a note of indig- nant protest. hvd.hnn6vs And then he swindled him, did n't he?"
hvd.hnn6vs	And you do n't want anybody to know? ” he said in his outspoken way. hvd.hnn6vs Are you going to desert us to- night, Mr. Carrington? ” asked the manageress.
hvd.hnn6vs	Are you going to stay on with the Cromartys long? ” he asked. hvd.hnn6vs Aye, ” said Mr. MacAlister, “ I noticed the man. ”"Did ye ken who he was? ”"No,"said Mr. MacAlister,"I did not."
hvd.hnn6vs	But had n't he some trouble at one time with his brother? ” his visitor enquired. hvd.hnn6vs But how — who did it? ” Her brother shook his head.
hvd.hnn6vs	But what connection could there possibly be, sir? hvd.hnn6vs But will the castle prevent him marrying? ” she enquired with a smile.
hvd.hnn6vs	But- er- how?
hvd.hnn6vs	Did anybody tell you, or did you make it up?
hvd.hnn6vs	Did n’t you even hear anything, sir?
hvd.hnn6vs	Did you find it upset? ” asked Ned. hvd.hnn6vs Did you look out of the window, sir?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Do you mean to tell me, honour bright, that Simon Rattar told you that lie in so many words? ” “ Yes, ” she said,he did indeed.
hvd.hnn6vs	Er- why is it ridiculous? ” he asked. hvd.hnn6vs Excuse me, sir, ” said he, “ but could you not manage just to stop on for a wee bit yet? ” Ned hesitated.
hvd.hnn6vs	For Sir Reginald's murder? hvd.hnn6vs Funny? ” he repeated, and his tone brought an almost imperceptible change of expression into his sister's eye.
hvd.hnn6vs	George Rattar? hvd.hnn6vs Had ye seen him on the platform?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Has Sir Reginald really any good reasons for not telling me?
hvd.hnn6vs	Have you asked him that question? ”No,"she confessed.
hvd.hnn6vs	Have you come into a fortune? hvd.hnn6vs Have you settled where to go? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	He lost a ring which would n't come off his finger? hvd.hnn6vs He was once Simon Rattar's partner, was n't he, Reginald? ” said Lady Cromarty.
hvd.hnn6vs	How did you hear?
hvd.hnn6vs	How- how do you know that? ” he asked. hvd.hnn6vs Including me? ” said Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	Is it called in question? ” he asked. hvd.hnn6vs Is that Lady Cromarty? ” he asked, and no sooner had Bisset said “ yes ” than the window was up and Mr. Carrington stepping out of it.
hvd.hnn6vs	Lady Cromarty, I believe? ” said the stranger in a deferential voice. hvd.hnn6vs No footprints outside, I suppose? ” “ No, sir."
hvd.hnn6vs	Slipped his memory? hvd.hnn6vs That's rather a suggestive idea, is n't it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	The very night of the murder? ” he repeated. hvd.hnn6vs Then you wo n't tell me where you've been?"
hvd.hnn6vs	They actually accuse Malcolm Cromarty and Miss Cicely of —?
hvd.hnn6vs	Well, Mr. Carrington? ” said he. hvd.hnn6vs What do you suggest? ” “ Are you still working the case for all you know how? ” Simon seemed to resent this enquiry a little.
hvd.hnn6vs	What do you suggest? ” “ Are you still working the case for all you know how? ” Simon seemed to resent this enquiry a little. hvd.hnn6vs What story?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Where have you? ” she retorted as she jumped out and let him help her off with the driving coat. hvd.hnn6vs Which am I to believe? ”"Hush!
hvd.hnn6vs	Who let it cool? ” interrupted Ned. hvd.hnn6vs Who told Lady Cromarty? ” “ That I do not know, sir."
hvd.hnn6vs	Why has this never come out before? ”. hvd.hnn6vs Why?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Worse than you have admitted to me? ”'said Simon quickly and again with a smile in his eye. hvd.hnn6vs You are sure that Lady Cromarty wo n't object? ”"Not her, ” said Bisset.
hvd.hnn6vs	You do n't mean that just now and then he takes a wee drop too much? ” enquired her visitor helpfully. hvd.hnn6vs You think Mr. Cromarty interesting, then? ” said she.
hvd.hnn6vs	You wo n't give me away to Sir Reginald, will you? hvd.hnn6vs 146 SIMON meeIs that how it strikes you? ” Lilian Cromarty jumped.
hvd.hnn6vs	168 MR. CARRINGTON AND THE FISCAL 169 “ Indeed? ” he murmured.
hvd.hnn6vs	All at once he asked abruptly:"Robbie, did ye see yon man next door sitting with his face in his hands? ”.
hvd.hnn6vs	And above all, why was she going at all, leaving her bicycle at a wayside station and with her sole luggage a small suit case?
hvd.hnn6vs	And also, what was that motive? ”"Is that the whole list of them? ” Mr. Rattar glanced at the will again.
hvd.hnn6vs	And also, what was that motive? ”"Is that the whole list of them? ” Mr. Rattar glanced at the will again.
hvd.hnn6vs	And could it only be the master, doing this curi- ous thing, or was it some one or something- else?
hvd.hnn6vs	And how are you going back?"
hvd.hnn6vs	And let me tell you, Mr. Cromarty, that our efforts have not been as fruitless as you seem to think. ” “ What have we discovered?"
hvd.hnn6vs	And so it happened. ”"You went and killed him?"
hvd.hnn6vs	And then I sent my wire to you. ” “ And you deliberately tell me you got there as much by good luck as good guidance?"
hvd.hnn6vs	And then he asked:"Is it the case that she is engaged to Sir Malcolm? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.hnn6vs	And then you were good enough to help me with that loan, and well, that's all, is n't it? ” Mr. Rattar had been listening with extreme attention.
hvd.hnn6vs	And this path leads only to Keldale House?
hvd.hnn6vs	And what had he at the end of them?
hvd.hnn6vs	And what proof is that of anything?
hvd.hnn6vs	And what's silica?
hvd.hnn6vs	And you yourself, Mr. Rattar, know both these young people, and you believe that this accusation against them is probably well founded?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Any evi- dence against him?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Any- thing fresh happened? ” “ The master was out in the garden again last night, sir! ” said she.
hvd.hnn6vs	Are n't we, Louisa? ” “ Yes, Uncle Ned, ” she smiled back.
hvd.hnn6vs	Are there any facts known to you or the police beyond those I have read? ” Simon considered the question and then shook his head.
hvd.hnn6vs	Are you as the head of the Cro- marty family, and I as their factor, to do this?''
hvd.hnn6vs	Are you looking for the hotel? ” “ Yes, ” she said in a low frightened voice.
hvd.hnn6vs	At the same time — what's his object? ” His sister had no hesitation.
hvd.hnn6vs	At the same time, hang it, you would n't have me turn my own kinsman and heir out of my house, Margaret; would you?"!
hvd.hnn6vs	Bisset replied with another question, asked in an ominous voice:"Have ye seen yon castle o'his, miss? ” Cicely nodded.
hvd.hnn6vs	But I say, Mr. Rattar, what are you going to do? ”.
hvd.hnn6vs	But I'm not well read, and I'm not- but what's 60 SIMON the good in telling you?
hvd.hnn6vs	But how do I know whether it's a slander? ” “ You actually think it might conceivably be true? ” She shrugged her well- gowned shoulders.
hvd.hnn6vs	But how do I know whether it's a slander? ” “ You actually think it might conceivably be true? ” She shrugged her well- gowned shoulders.
hvd.hnn6vs	But it must have been a burglar! ” “ What about the other windows, and the doors?
hvd.hnn6vs	But of course folks just say they are feared to now. ”"Has anybody asked either of them if they are — or ever were- engaged? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hnn6vs	But that fact is hardly against her, is it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	But the story is such obvious nonsense, Bisset, that surely no one in their proper senses really believes it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	But were the windows fastened before Sir Reginald came in to sit here last thing?"
hvd.hnn6vs	But what's your deduction, sir?"
hvd.hnn6vs	But why are you afraid? ” “ Oh, ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnn6vs	By the way, did you get much change out of him?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Carrington?
hvd.hnn6vs	Cu or a dar?
hvd.hnn6vs	Dear Mr. Rattar, wo n't you tell me?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Did Sir Reginald ever sit with his window open late at night at this time of year? ” “ Never once, sir, ” said Bisset confidently.
hvd.hnn6vs	Did n't you feel it too, Cicely? ” TWO WOMEN 125"He seemed to look at one so uncomfortably,"she agreed.
hvd.hnn6vs	Did n't you know?
hvd.hnn6vs	Did you know I'd happened to see her start'and gone after her and brought her back?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Did you think they were engaged? ” “ Honestly, sir, I did not.
hvd.hnn6vs	Do you actually believe I am capable of kill- ing a man in cold blood?
hvd.hnn6vs	Do you mean that they have stopped looking for the murderer? ” “ Certainly not.
hvd.hnn6vs	Do you mean to say it's actually true? ” Bisset shook his head sombrely.
hvd.hnn6vs	Do you suspect anybody? ” Simon shook his head decidedly.
hvd.hnn6vs	Does your hearth brush always stay in the same position?"
hvd.hnn6vs	D’you see? ” There was no laugh, or even a smile from her.
hvd.hnn6vs	Especially the hon- oured head of my own house? ” Carrington seemed to suppress a smile.
hvd.hnn6vs	Excluding that, what must have happened?
hvd.hnn6vs	For who knew what they stood to gain by this will?
hvd.hnn6vs	Frankly then, you engaged me to come down here? ” Even then Simon's caution seemed to linger for an instant.
hvd.hnn6vs	Got the statement made up?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Had the intruder come through or gone away?
hvd.hnn6vs	Has he only one eye, by any chance? ” The reasoner gazed petrified at his counsellor.
hvd.hnn6vs	He knew where she had got to stop, but where had she meant to stop?
hvd.hnn6vs	How could they be? ”.
hvd.hnn6vs	How did Sir Reginald not cry out when he saw the man?
hvd.hnn6vs	How did he get Sir Reginald to come to the table?
hvd.hnn6vs	How did he not see him? ”"Man was a ventriloquist and made a sound in the other direction, ” suggested Ned with extreme gravity.
hvd.hnn6vs	How do you know? ”"Well, sir, it's a matter of deduction.
hvd.hnn6vs	How much- a million — two million? ”"Oh, not as much as that, worse luck!
hvd.hnn6vs	How was I to get any change out of him?
hvd.hnn6vs	I believe the man did come in by the window. ” “ You admit there is no proof? ”"Sure, ” said Ned candidly.
hvd.hnn6vs	I ca n't see any business doing just yet. ” Ned held out his hand, and then suddenly said, “ You do n't see any business doing just yet?
hvd.hnn6vs	I guess you've seen right through me for some time back. ” “ Meaning —?"
hvd.hnn6vs	I mean with any of the tenants, or his tradesmen-or his lawyer?
hvd.hnn6vs	I only mean — well, people do differ in character and experience, do n't they? ”"I guess you're pretty wise, ” said he simply.
hvd.hnn6vs	I say, Miss Peterkin, what about these gentlemen hav- ing another wee droppie with me, all round, just to celebrate the occasion?
hvd.hnn6vs	I take it you put your magnifying glass back in your pocket after your trip out to Stanesland?'
hvd.hnn6vs	I wonder if the idea had entered her head before, or if the will alone started it?
hvd.hnn6vs	I've half wondered since whether it was connected with a story of Mr. Rattar's maid that his house had been broken into. ”"When was that? ”.
hvd.hnn6vs	In a few min- utes she would be gone_“Where? ” he asked himself.
hvd.hnn6vs	Is that not a fair deduction too, sir? ”"It's possible, ” said Ned, though not with great conviction.
hvd.hnn6vs	Is that not a fair deduction, sir? ” “ It all points to that, ” said Ned, with a curious look.
hvd.hnn6vs	Is that not a fair deduction, sir? ” “ Sure! ” said Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	Is that not a fair deduction, sir?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Is that so? ” “ Oh, that's true right enough, sir."
hvd.hnn6vs	Is there any one? ” He seemed to hang on the lawyer's answer, and Simon to dislike making the answer.
hvd.hnn6vs	It is n't for my sake, is it?
hvd.hnn6vs	It was about a month ago when I turned up at this house one night. ” “ How did you get here?"
hvd.hnn6vs	It's all right, in fac', until you try to move it, and then of course the leg just drops out. ” “ And it was n't like that yesterday?"
hvd.hnn6vs	NEWS 93"Was anybody sitting up late?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Near or distant? ” “ Oh, quite distant.
hvd.hnn6vs	Ned paused for a second and then rapped out: “ Was it Simon himself? ”"If we were all living in a lunatic asylum, probably yes!
hvd.hnn6vs	No, no, he has got a bit above himself and wants a touch of the curb. ” “ What are you going to do?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Now about this bad brother of Mr. Rat- tar's — there could n't be trouble still outstanding, you think?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Now what's the history of that man? ” “ Pretty wild, I guess. ” “ Ah, but one can say more than that, sir.
hvd.hnn6vs	Now where's he hidden himself?
hvd.hnn6vs	Now, do n't you?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Of course, you spotted the coincidence straight off? ” “ But Rattar did n't!
hvd.hnn6vs	Oh- you mean it has a story? ” “ Vera possibly.
hvd.hnn6vs	Or that they stood to gain any blessed thing at all?
hvd.hnn6vs	Or where would she go to- morrow?
hvd.hnn6vs	People expect so much of a detective, do n't they? ” Simon grunted, but made no other comment.
hvd.hnn6vs	Possibly she was not aware of it and had counted on travelling to — where?
hvd.hnn6vs	Rattar?"
hvd.hnn6vs	See, Neddy dear? ” Her brother began to shake his head, and her smile became a little less bright.
hvd.hnn6vs	So there I was — with no con- ceivable criminal! ” “ But you'd already begun to suspect Rattar, had n't you?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Surely you ca n't have thought that I knew all the time! ” Again he was silent for a moment, and then enquired: “ Why do you come to me now?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Swear? ” “ But what about Miss Cromarty?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Swear? ” “ But what about Miss Cromarty?"
hvd.hnn6vs	THE DRIVE HOME 59 59 “ That your trouble? ” he enquired in his out- spoken way.
hvd.hnn6vs	THE DRIVE HOME 63 ars “ So you drove Cicely Farmond home? ” Her brother nodded.
hvd.hnn6vs	THE MAN FROM THE WEST 39"I was thinking Silent Simon was in luck's way — but perhaps you're going to wig him?"
hvd.hnn6vs	THE RETURN 223 “ Who can have started such a story?"
hvd.hnn6vs	TWO WOMEN 127 “ Stay on in this house of mourning?
hvd.hnn6vs	That was obvious, was n't it? ”"It seems so,"the lawyer admitted cautiously.
hvd.hnn6vs	The burglar did n't take that, did he?"
hvd.hnn6vs	The longer she lay awake the more certain she grew that evil was afoot; and yet what could be its shape?
hvd.hnn6vs	The theory fits all the other facts remarkably, does n't it? ” “ Remarkably,"agreed Simon.
hvd.hnn6vs	There was little bleed- ing, but the skull was fair cracked. ” “ Was anything stolen? ”"That's another mystery, sir.
hvd.hnn6vs	There's nae doubt Sir Malcolm was sweet on the young lady, but deil a sign of sweetness on him did I ever see in her! ” “ Do they correspond now?"
hvd.hnn6vs	They have done everything they could. ” “'They have done'?
hvd.hnn6vs	They're saying Sir Malcolm and Miss Farmond had got engaged to be married. ” “ Well?''
hvd.hnn6vs	This? ” He sat in it and looked slowly round the dark- ened, candle- lit library.
hvd.hnn6vs	Was n't it, Ned? ” she said indignantly, her eyes as bright as ever again.
hvd.hnn6vs	Was that open or shut or what?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Was that the reason then? ” He seemed too lost in his own thoughts to answer her; but they were evidently not un- happy thoughts this time.
hvd.hnn6vs	Well, what's happened? ” He was lifting her out of the trap and not 285 288 SIMON flat denial!
hvd.hnn6vs	Were the blinds down that night? ” Bisset slapped his knee.
hvd.hnn6vs	Were they all fastened in the morning? ” THE HOUSE OF MYSTERIES 255 “ Yes, sir, it's the truth they were, ” she ad- mitted.
hvd.hnn6vs	What do you know about him?"
hvd.hnn6vs	What does it mean?
hvd.hnn6vs	What have I actually done?
hvd.hnn6vs	What kind of sound?
hvd.hnn6vs	What was the man's game? ”"Have you spotted it yet? ” Carrington shook his head.
hvd.hnn6vs	What was the man's game? ”"Have you spotted it yet? ” Carrington shook his head.
hvd.hnn6vs	What's glass?
hvd.hnn6vs	What's his number?
hvd.hnn6vs	What's it consist of? ”"I – I do n't know,"confessed Cicely weakly.
hvd.hnn6vs	What's your theory now?"
hvd.hnn6vs	What, having a cup of tea in his room?
hvd.hnn6vs	When did she hear?''
hvd.hnn6vs	Where had he hidden it? ”"And how did you get at that? ” “ Guessed it.
hvd.hnn6vs	Where had he hidden it? ”"And how did you get at that? ” “ Guessed it.
hvd.hnn6vs	Where have you been? ” he cried.
hvd.hnn6vs	Where have you been? ” “ I've been having a walk."
hvd.hnn6vs	Where was she going — and why was she going?
hvd.hnn6vs	Who is she? ” Ned looked at her and she broke into a laugh.
hvd.hnn6vs	Who is there in this place?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Who told you?''
hvd.hnn6vs	Why should we have conspired to do such a dreadful thing? ” He stared at her, and then hesitated.
hvd.hnn6vs	Why? ” “ She's mair comfortable there than setting off on her travels again.
hvd.hnn6vs	Will you? ”"Run away again?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Will you? ”"Run away again?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Will you?"
hvd.hnn6vs	Would n't you really rather be alone?
hvd.hnn6vs	Would you like to earn £ 1, Cicely? ” “ Very much,"said she.
hvd.hnn6vs	You do n't absolutely hate me, do you? ” “ Of course I do n't hate you.
hvd.hnn6vs	You know my business? ” “ Are you a detective?"
hvd.hnn6vs	You know my business? ” “ Are you a detective?"
hvd.hnn6vs	You know quite well yourself he is a rotter. ”"Anyhow you ca n't believe Cicely Farmond had anything to do with it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	You know then? ”"I learned from Bisset this morning. ” “ Ah, I see.
hvd.hnn6vs	You wo n't refuse me that? ” Carrington looked at the six feet two inches of pure lean muscle and smiled.
hvd.hnn6vs	You've not a suspicion of any one yourself, Miss Farmond?
hvd.hnn6vs	sir? ” he said lugubriously.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Advice, Mr. Cromarty?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Alternatives to what? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And knew nothing up till six months ago? ” asked Simon, who was following her story very attentively.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And nobody in the house heard or saw any- thing? ” “ Nobody, sir, ” said the superintendent.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And the business ledger. ”"Letter book and business ledger? ” repeated Mr. Ison, looking a little surprised.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And what did Mr. Rattar do with the piece of mud?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And what did she say?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And what makes you think I can assist you to- er- recover your identity, Miss Farmond? ” “ To discover it, not recover it, ” she corrected.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And where will you find the lady that's to succumb to my fascinations?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And who is educating you? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And why are you so positive that I can tell you? ”"Because all my affairs and arrangements went through your hands, and of course you know!"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ And women at the best have just the ae'thought — who's gaun to be fool enough to marry next?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Any fresh facts?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Apparently confirming the direct evidence?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Are n't you? ” “ Good gracious no!
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Are the servants intelligent girls?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Are you in a hurry? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ As a blind?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Ashamed of what? ” “ The exhibition I've made of myself, ” she said, her voice still very low.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Because the master walks there at nights? ” He nodded confidentially.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But I sup- pose you agree with Sir Reginald? ” THE HEIR 29 Simon pursed his lips and made a non- com- mittal sound.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But am I to leave it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But are you sure?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But what sort of girl is she otherwise? ”"I should call Miss Farmond the insinuating type.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But what sort of motives did you expect?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But would it really be convenient?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But you did n't see him, sir? ”"No,"said he.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But you'll have gotten a guid idea whae's din it by noo, George? ” said Mr. MacAlister persuasively.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ But, Mr. Cromarty- you do n't believe that's right surely? ” Tragic though the occasion was, Ned could not refrain from one brief laugh.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ By the way,"he asked, turning back, “ did he tell you where he is going to now?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Can you imagine me daring to wig Mr. Simon Rattar? ”"I guess he needs waking up now and then like other people.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Come into a fortune? ” said he.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Deny it?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Did you look for them? ” For a single instant the Procurator Fiscal seemed a little taken aback.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do n't you really know that I am honestly quite ignorant? ” THE THIRD VISITOR 41 Mr. Rattar shook his head cautiously.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you know the story that's going about, Lilian? ” “ Sir Malcolm and the Farmond girl?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you know the story that's going about, Lilian? ” “ Sir Malcolm and the Farmond girl?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you know what the foolish man did?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you mean to say his own heir — and a young girl like that~?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you mean to tell me you doubt it?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you really think so? ” said Ned, and his manner brightened visibly.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Do you think yourself the results are very bad? ”"Judging by the mirror, beastly!
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Have you noticed rats in the house? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ He actually advised you to bolt? ” She nodded.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ He did n't see me, sir. ” “ You did n't happen to overhear him giving any directions to the chauffeur, did you?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ He lay like this? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ How did you come? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ I guess I'd better see Carrington. ”"Mr. Carrington? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ I mean that I must seem a pretty uninteresting bit of elderly shoe- leather. ” 58 SIMON “ Uninteresting?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ I wonder whether Simon put this announcement in himself, or whether brother George arranged it in his will?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Indeed? ” said he.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Indeed? ” said he.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Is anything the matter? ” she asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Is n't she? ” said Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ It only came in my mind when the ring was never recovered. ” “ What were the exact facts? ” demanded Car- rington.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ It's you, is it?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Just think yoursel how would you like to be watched through the window at the dead of night as you were sitting in your chair?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ London detective?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Looking for finger marks? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ May I ask your ladyship's authority- in strict confidence of course? ” enquired the repre- sentative firmly, but very courteously.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ May I have a word with you? ” said Carring- ton gravely.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ No coincidence occurs to you? ” The lawyer's puzzled look remained, and the next instant Carrington broke into a hearty laugh.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ No fresh evidence?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ No, it couldna be that. ” “ And Mr. George Rattar certainly died a short time ago, did he? ”"I can show you the paper with his death in it.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Not really?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Now which was Sir Reginald's chair?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Of course you've looked for footsteps under- neath? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Of course, you have a copy of it in your letter book- and also Sir Reginald's reply?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Of what?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Oh, have you no curiosity yourself- especially about who your parents were; supposing you did n't know?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ People do n't say that, do they? ” he asked in a low voice.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Pulling my leg; or a real car? ” “ Real car of course — nice one too! ” “ But, my dear girl, we've just put down our car.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Really, Malcolm, how can I possibly tell what your confidence is going to be beforehand?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Really?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Saw'something'? ” he repeated gruffly.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Simon Rattar has the impudence to tell me he is letting the farm of Castleknowe to that fellow Shearer after all! ”"But why not?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Stayed here? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Still in the library. ” “ Sitting up late?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Supposing,"he suggested, “ we were to draw the curtains and light these candles for a few ve V MR. BISSET'S ASSISTANT 191 minutes?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ That is the only point about it which strikes you? ” Simon was manifestly puzzled.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ That sort of fellow, is he?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ That's the place where the murder was committed, is n't it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ The master would have expected it of you. ”"How did it happen?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ The tag was not broken before he put on the coat? ” sav"It certainly was not that!
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Then how came the window to be unfast- ened? ” demanded Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Then it's only out of curiosity that you en- quired? ”"Only! ” she repeated with a world of woman's scorn.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Then you propose to hush the thing up?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ To what extent did he benefit by the will? ”.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Was anything stolen?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Was he really? ” cried Mr. Carrington.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Was he?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Well now,"continued the superintendent, “ the question is — how did the murderer get into the room?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Well, what next? ”"Well, sir, I'll not insist too much on the coincidence, but it seems to me vera remarkable.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Well, ” said he, “ how much is the cheque to be this time?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Well? ” he remarked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What about Keldale House? ” the sporting visitor suggested.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What about? ” he asked, and his face was a little paler already.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What are you doing next? ”"Upon my word, I am rather wondering.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What are your plans, Cicely? ” she asked in a low, even voice that showed no feeling one way or the other.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What do you know? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What do you think yourself, Bisset?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What does that matter? ” “ And where's Sir Reginald?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What does that matter? ” “ And where's Sir Reginald?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What else? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What for?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What have you found?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What is the name of Mr. Rattar's head clerk? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What shall I say to Lady Cromarty?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What sort of a girl is Miss Farmond? ” he enquired next.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What's on your mind, man? ” demanded Cro- marty.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What's the matter? ”"Matter? ” snapped her husband.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What's the matter? ”"Matter? ” snapped her husband.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What's up? ” he asked at once.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What's your own theory then? ”"I've none, ” grunted Simon.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ What? ” said Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Whatever do you mean, Malcolm? ” Again she saw that look in his eye, and again he raised a sympathy- beseeching wail.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Whatever put that into people's heads? ”"What! ” he cried.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ When was he found? ” asked Ned.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Where are you bound for? ” he enquired in his usual direct way.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Where did he die? ” “ In New York, it says. ” Sir Reginald turned to his wife.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Who but the usual lady?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Who could it have been, sir? ” “ I have been wondering,"he said, and then he threw a sudden glance at her that made her hurry for the door.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Who started it? ” he repeated and then was immersed in thought again; only now there was a grim look on his face.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Who started the lie? ”"It's just ignorance and want of education of the people, I'm thinking,.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Who you are? ” he repeated after a few sec- onds'pause.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Whose track? ” he asked.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why did n't he rob something then? ” “ But how else? ” “ How indeed!
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why did n't he rob something then? ” “ But how else? ” “ How indeed!
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why do you want to see Sir Malcolm? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why not? ” Carrington looked a little surprised.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why not? ” “ I've told you.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why the something,'says he, ‘ should they want to put me in the bag now?
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ Why? ” he enquired coldly.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You are acquainted with him then? ” said he.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You are sure?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You believe this story, do you? ”"If I believed it, I should order an arrest.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You coming to see Simon on business 38 SIMON too?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You mean to insinuate that if you tempted Simon, he'd be as bad a hat as his brother? ”"Oh, no! ” cried Cicely.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You mean to suggest that any conclusion has been reached?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You think he left the fireplace and went round by the window to fetch such a useless weapon as that? ”.
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You want me to assist you, I take it?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You're not thinking of Cicely, are you?"
hvd.hnn6vs	“ You've no heard it, sir? ” Ned shook his head.

hvd.hn5lw3	... Oh, you know that I had been shot?
hvd.hn5lw3	... Well, you started your blundering on that day. ” The spy gave an insolent, cynical laugh: “ What did you expect, Excellenz?
hvd.hn5lw3	... Well?
hvd.hn5lw3	... What can be keeping her there?
hvd.hn5lw3	... What can it mean?
hvd.hn5lw3	... What has she to tell me?
hvd.hn5lw3	... Why did n't I tear it up?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."100 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY And Bernard d’Andeville, standing beside him, re- peated, in an anguish- stricken voice: “ Bombarding Ornequin?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."But Bernard interrupted himself, and asked in amaze- ment, “ Why, what's the matter?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."CHAPTER X 75 OR 155?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."She took his face in her two hands and, suddenly, in a voice of despair: “ But you are not going just yet?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."“ But what does it all mean? ” exclaimed Bernard and the lieutenant.
hvd.hn5lw3	..."“ Well? ” asked Élisabeth, throwing her arm round her husband's neck, with an eager movement of pro- tection.
hvd.hn5lw3	..."“ What about the rearguard covering the German retreat? ” “ Well, are n't we here, the infantry?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."“ What about the rearguard covering the German retreat? ” “ Well, are n't we here, the infantry?
hvd.hn5lw3	..."“ What's that?"
hvd.hn5lw3	..."“ What? ” “ Well, it's this, Paul: there is no intention on our side of taking a more vigorous offensive.
hvd.hn5lw3	..."• “ You mean, about Élisabeth? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lw3	.... “ Paul, what do you think he has planned?
hvd.hn5lw3	.... “ Who is he? ” he cried.
hvd.hn5lw3	157 know all that has happened and what has become of me?
hvd.hn5lw3	159 Élisabeth had the time and the strength to write down what Rosalie had revealed to her?
hvd.hn5lw3	194 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY, Bernard whispered: “ Shall we fire now? ”"No,"said Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	75 or 155?
hvd.hn5lw3	; “ You do n't know?
hvd.hn5lw3	A Frenchman? ” “ No, sir, a German dressed up as a peasant."
hvd.hn5lw3	A piece of awk- wardness?
hvd.hn5lw3	A rearguard of two hundred and fifty Badeners at the most. ” “ And in the forts? ” “ About the same number.
hvd.hn5lw3	Ah, if she should ever suspect! ” “ Who is the woman? ” “ How can I tell?
hvd.hn5lw3	Ah, if she should ever suspect! ” “ Who is the woman? ” “ How can I tell?
hvd.hn5lw3	Am I not the victim of an hallucination, which would be only nat- ural in the crisis through which I am passing?
hvd.hn5lw3	Am I on the right road?
hvd.hn5lw3	And Bernard rejoined: “ How could he fail to know?
hvd.hn5lw3	And I did dream, did I not?
hvd.hn5lw3	And I shall be of the party. ” “ And I? ” “ Go back to the colonel.
hvd.hn5lw3	And Paul came back to the question provoked by the agonizing encounter between the mother and daughter: what did Élisabeth know of it all?
hvd.hn5lw3	And also he is here because we are. ”"How would he know? ” Paul objected.
hvd.hn5lw3	And are any of your people there? ” “ Yes, sir, my wife. ” Paul was very pale.
hvd.hn5lw3	And blubbering?
hvd.hn5lw3	And by whom?
hvd.hn5lw3	And did you ever find Élisa- beth ’s body?
hvd.hn5lw3	And he asked: “ How far is this from the frontier? ” “ Three miles and three- quarters, sir."
hvd.hn5lw3	And he heard M. d'Andeville mutter: “ Who can have stolen it from me?
hvd.hn5lw3	And here's the other platform. ” “ But the embrasures?"
hvd.hn5lw3	And how was he afterwards to escape the enemy and re- turn to France?
hvd.hn5lw3	And of- 288 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY ficers, I expect?
hvd.hn5lw3	And our outposts on the frontier?
hvd.hn5lw3	And our sentries all 140 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY around the château?
hvd.hn5lw3	And suppose it had gone off? ” “ Ah, well, sir, nothing venture, nothing have!"
hvd.hn5lw3	And that one, where would its murderous rain of bullets and splinters descend?
hvd.hn5lw3	And that third ring? ” 162 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY “ Just so.
hvd.hn5lw3	And that's what you do n't want, is n't it?
hvd.hn5lw3	And the iron chain?
hvd.hn5lw3	And the law of war does not extend to the furniture and pictures in the drawing- rooms?'
hvd.hn5lw3	And the rifles?
hvd.hn5lw3	And then you saw him unfasten his bonds and escape?
hvd.hn5lw3	And then..."Paul shuddered and, lowering his voice, went on, “ And then... what did they do at the château?
hvd.hn5lw3	And then? ” said the Kaiser, in an angry voice.
hvd.hn5lw3	And was this woman not the Comtesse Hermine d’Andeville, the mother of Élisa- beth and Bernard?
hvd.hn5lw3	And what did Élisabeth know of the Comtesse Hermine?
hvd.hn5lw3	And what then?
hvd.hn5lw3	And who are these people?
hvd.hn5lw3	And who is he actually?
hvd.hn5lw3	And why does he suggest that I should leave Ornequin?
hvd.hn5lw3	And why, when we changed our position, was the vane pointed in our direction? ” “ Are you sure of that? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn5lw3	And why, when we changed our position, was the vane pointed in our direction? ” “ Are you sure of that? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn5lw3	And yet what other theory was there to adopt?
hvd.hn5lw3	And yet... “ What do you mean to suggest, Bernard? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5lw3	And you, sir,"said Paul to the prince, “ do you understand?
hvd.hn5lw3	And you... what about the chauffeur? ” “ He's safely hidden away.
hvd.hn5lw3	And Élisabeth? ” Paul had risen from his seat.
hvd.hn5lw3	And, bless my soul, what do I see?
hvd.hn5lw3	And, feeling herself crushed under the weight of the crimes, did she hold her responsible for her own lack of courage?
hvd.hn5lw3	And, in a dry, cutting voice, she rapped out: “ What have I to fear from you now?
hvd.hn5lw3	And, in that case, who knows?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Anything else? ” “ There was a patrol in the grounds an hour ago.
hvd.hn5lw3	Anything more? ” “ Write to me in a week's time if everything has gone off well.
hvd.hn5lw3	Anything more?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Are the guns ready?
hvd.hn5lw3	Are they going to defend themselves, or will they fall back towards the frontier?
hvd.hn5lw3	Are we free? ” “ Absolutely free. ” “ We're going back to France? ” “ Immediately."
hvd.hn5lw3	Are we free? ” “ Absolutely free. ” “ We're going back to France? ” “ Immediately."
hvd.hn5lw3	Are we to live here? ” “ No, not that!
hvd.hn5lw3	Are you afraid? ” “ Oh, what an ugly word!"
hvd.hn5lw3	As no civilian had passed, were they to conclude that the perpetrator of the two crimes was one of the pri- vates of the 3rd company?
hvd.hn5lw3	At the moment when you were leaving a little chapel which stands in the Ornequin woods, you met two Frenchmen, a father and son- you re- member, sir?
hvd.hn5lw3	At the sight of the four letters, he said: “ That stands for Hermann, I suppose?
hvd.hn5lw3	Bernard asked: “ She's gone, has n't she? ” “ No, she's there. ” “ But this is madness!
hvd.hn5lw3	Bernard whispered: “ Surely you do n't mean to carry away Élisabeth?
hvd.hn5lw3	Bernard, seeing what Paul did, whispered in his ear: “ So you have made up your mind?
hvd.hn5lw3	Besides, how can I go to him when he does not want to have anything more to do with me and does not even write?
hvd.hn5lw3	Besides, once we are outside the grounds, I shall have nothing to fear from him. ” “ And what am I to do? ” “ You?
hvd.hn5lw3	Besides, once we are outside the grounds, I shall have nothing to fear from him. ” “ And what am I to do? ” “ You?
hvd.hn5lw3	Besides, they had to know the password: who can have given them that?
hvd.hn5lw3	But I alone am worth as much as your three great generals, am I not?
hvd.hn5lw3	But Paul at once called his companions'attention to the floor of those two naves: A MASTERPIECE OF KULTUR 225"A concrete flooring, do you see?
hvd.hn5lw3	But a revolver is easy to understand, is n't it?
hvd.hn5lw3	But do those people fight?
hvd.hn5lw3	But how am I to fulfil that duty and get at the truth?
hvd.hn5lw3	But how did the man get in?
hvd.hn5lw3	But how did you manage?
hvd.hn5lw3	But how was so disastrous an event possible?
hvd.hn5lw3	But it's up- hill all the way. ” “ Is the house more or less fit to live in? ” asked Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	But presently Paul went on, in a gentler voice: “ I'm sorry you came, Bernard. ” “ Is the danger greater for me than for you and the others?"
hvd.hn5lw3	But soon her eyes once more flashed defiance; and she said: “ So you, too, have come to accuse me?
hvd.hn5lw3	But what am I to do?
hvd.hn5lw3	But what discussion?
hvd.hn5lw3	But what happened behind those walls?
hvd.hn5lw3	But what is the good?
hvd.hn5lw3	But what would he himself do?
hvd.hn5lw3	But why did n't you take her with you, Paul? ” “ When I left Ornequin, I made all the necessary arrangements for her to go. ” “ Good.
hvd.hn5lw3	But why that astounded look?
hvd.hn5lw3	But why then did he not do so?
hvd.hn5lw3	But your driver does n't know French, does he? ” “ He hardly knows German, Excellenz.
hvd.hn5lw3	But, if so, what was the meaning of an avowal expressed in those terms and with that declaration of love for a woman laden with crime and infamy?
hvd.hn5lw3	But, if so.... ” And he continued thoughtfully,"If so... what conclusion are we to draw?
hvd.hn5lw3	By what road? ” THE IMPOSSIBLE STRUGGLE 265 “ The tunnel, of course!
hvd.hn5lw3	Ca n't you speak?
hvd.hn5lw3	Calling you, are they?
hvd.hn5lw3	Can he change?
hvd.hn5lw3	Can things be turning in our favor? ” “ Thursday.
hvd.hn5lw3	Commanders of army corps?
hvd.hn5lw3	Could be love Hermine d’Andeville's daughter?
hvd.hn5lw3	Delroze?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Did he so much as remember it?
hvd.hn5lw3	Did he so much as remember it?
hvd.hn5lw3	Did he still love her?
hvd.hn5lw3	Did n't they fire on you? ”"I had put on the spy's clothes, sir, their spy's.
hvd.hn5lw3	Did she accept that woman, for whom she felt such loathing, as her mother?
hvd.hn5lw3	Did the major know that they were there, both of them wounded, within reach of his hand?
hvd.hn5lw3	Did you cry out? ” “ I shouted, I rushed towards him, but a hand caught me in an irresistible grip.
hvd.hn5lw3	Did you hear what she said?
hvd.hn5lw3	Die to save the world?
hvd.hn5lw3	Die?
hvd.hn5lw3	Die?
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you agree to my conditions? ” The prince nodded his head.
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you believe in pre- sentiments, Paul? ” “ No, do you? ” “ No, I do n't either, ” she said, laughing and giving him her lips.
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you believe in pre- sentiments, Paul? ” “ No, do you? ” “ No, I do n't either, ” she said, laughing and giving him her lips.
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you believe me now? ” Her hoarse, panting voice ceased.
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you imagine that the tunnel serves no further purpose?
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you see? ” Paul had noticed the brooch at once with the great- est horror.
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you understand now?
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you understand or do n't you? ” It was a tragic moment between the two men.
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you understand?
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you understand?
hvd.hn5lw3	Do you want to have things explained to you?
hvd.hn5lw3	Does he think that, be- cause there is a chance of war, I shall not have the courage to stay here and do my duty?
hvd.hn5lw3	Does it confirm what you knew? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lw3	Does n't the proposal make you smile?
hvd.hn5lw3	During the retreat from Belgium?
hvd.hn5lw3	Even if I can not find her grave, can I not find the least trace of her existence?
hvd.hn5lw3	For instance, why did Élisabeth stay at the château? ” “ Because she wanted to,"said Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	For the trivial purpose of making you fall back?
hvd.hn5lw3	For two or three days, I mean? ”"No, sir, Madame le Comtesse never left the grounds."
hvd.hn5lw3	For, after all, where could the sound come from?'
hvd.hn5lw3	Gen- erals? ” “ The list also contains the names of privates, sir."
hvd.hn5lw3	Go?
hvd.hn5lw3	Granting that he succeeded in finding Élisabeth and delivering her, a very unlikely contin- gency, at what moment would this take place?
hvd.hn5lw3	Had 75 OR 155?
hvd.hn5lw3	Had they taken the incredible resolution to accept whatever happened rather than show her mercy?
hvd.hn5lw3	Have I any right to hope? ” Bernard came closer to him and said, solemnly: “ It's not hope, Paul, that I'm bringing you, but a certainty.
hvd.hn5lw3	Have I been through much?
hvd.hn5lw3	Have Rosenthal seen to and let's be off. ” “ Am I to go with you, Excellenz? ” “ No, there's no need.
hvd.hn5lw3	Have they evacuated it entirely?
hvd.hn5lw3	Have you been studying Sherlock Holmes? ” “ Not even Arsène Lupin, ” said Paul, moving on again.
hvd.hn5lw3	He asked: “ Was that light put on while I was up on the balcony? ” “ Yes, towards the end."
hvd.hn5lw3	He blurted out, in a tone of infinite anguish: “ Élisabeth... is it you?
hvd.hn5lw3	He caught hold of Bernard: “ Lie down, kid, ca n't you?
hvd.hn5lw3	He fired his rifle a few more times; but what was the good?
hvd.hn5lw3	He had seen 75 OR 155?
hvd.hn5lw3	He merely asked: “ Was the Comtesse d’Andeville away at all dur- ing the six weeks which she spent at Ornequin?
hvd.hn5lw3	He met him half- way: “ Is that you, Bernard? ” he said.
hvd.hn5lw3	He mur- mured: “ Who are you? ” Paul relaxed slightly from his rigid attitude.
hvd.hn5lw3	He shot three of us, as a matter of fact. ” “ He was reckoning on the assistance of the car, was n't he?"
hvd.hn5lw3	He went on, in a trembling voice: 116 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY “ So there were three people shot?
hvd.hn5lw3	He'd been staying at the château for some weeks and had time to make an impression, had he not?
hvd.hn5lw3	He's safe, is n't he? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lw3	His mother?
hvd.hn5lw3	How are we to get at him?
hvd.hn5lw3	How can I tell?
hvd.hn5lw3	How can she have done that?
hvd.hn5lw3	How can we get at him and torture him and kill him? ” “ Question a prisoner, ” said Bernard.
hvd.hn5lw3	How can you be positive, such a long time after?
hvd.hn5lw3	How dare you suggest that my wife murdered your father?
hvd.hn5lw3	How did you know that?"
hvd.hn5lw3	How do I know for certain that there is any connection between the present and the past?
hvd.hn5lw3	How do you account for the bullets in the wall of the lodge?
hvd.hn5lw3	How do you expect they got here?
hvd.hn5lw3	How do you know that they did not take pity on her after shooting Jérôme and his wife?
hvd.hn5lw3	How was he now to find, how to deliver Élisabeth?
hvd.hn5lw3	How was it done?
hvd.hn5lw3	How was it that she did not hear the frantic beating of my heart?
hvd.hn5lw3	I confess that your plan..."“ Can you propose a better one? ” He broke off.
hvd.hn5lw3	I have only one thought: have I found the key?
hvd.hn5lw3	I heard my father say, under his breath,'Is it pos- sible?
hvd.hn5lw3	I leave him to do his own talking, however; and this throws him in such a state of fury that he ended by exclaiming: “'Ca n't you answer?
hvd.hn5lw3	I managed to keep out of sight. ” “ And then? ” “ Then I made my way as far as the tunnel.
hvd.hn5lw3	I said: “'Is this the pillage beginning?
hvd.hn5lw3	I shall 264 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY “ You're by yourself? ” said Bernard, anxiously.
hvd.hn5lw3	I will 22 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY dered?
hvd.hn5lw3	I'm counting: one... two... Look pleasant, ca n't you? ” He had lowered his head and was holding a pocket camera against his chest.
hvd.hn5lw3	If I succeed, it will be the end of the run on the black. ” “ And have you the Kaiser's consent? ” “ I did n't ask for it.
hvd.hn5lw3	If by accident you do n't see me return..."“ Well?"
hvd.hn5lw3	In a knot? ” “ No, with a brooch. ” “ A cameo? ” “ Yes, a large cameo set in gold.
hvd.hn5lw3	In a knot? ” “ No, with a brooch. ” “ A cameo? ” “ Yes, a large cameo set in gold.
hvd.hn5lw3	In any case, this is a great opportunity; and we must make the most of it. ” “ But who is the woman? ” Bernard asked again.
hvd.hn5lw3	In that case why not go at once?
hvd.hn5lw3	Infamies?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is he badly wounded? ”"He's got a broken leg.
hvd.hn5lw3	Is he only trying to frighten me?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is it the face of some relation, of a brother of whom I never heard, a twin perhaps? ” And he reflected: “ After all, am I not mistaken?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is it the face of some relation, of a brother of whom I never heard, a twin perhaps? ” And he reflected: “ After all, am I not mistaken?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is it true, then?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is n't she charm- ing, gentlemen?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is she alive or dead?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is that so?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is that what you want to do? ” “ No,"replied Paul, “ we'll stop when the town's in sight."
hvd.hn5lw3	Is the per- son who questioned me about you the same as the individual who ordered Élisabeth to be shot two hours earlier?
hvd.hn5lw3	Is there a danger of encountering an advance post there?
hvd.hn5lw3	It concerns my wife?
hvd.hn5lw3	It's a bit of an unequal struggle, what do you say?"
hvd.hn5lw3	It's a good size, eh?
hvd.hn5lw3	It's myself and it takes your breath away, what?
hvd.hn5lw3	Just think: how can two French subjects put up at a Strasburg hotel without having their names entered in the visitors'book?
hvd.hn5lw3	Lies, I suppose?
hvd.hn5lw3	Look here, do you know at what precise moment France felt just a little shak- ing at the pit of her stomach?
hvd.hn5lw3	Love me?
hvd.hn5lw3	M. d'Ande- ville, gray in the face, blurted out:"How dare you?
hvd.hn5lw3	Major Hermann? ” “ Yes,"said Paul, eagerly.
hvd.hn5lw3	My poor Paul, my poor darling! ” And in a voice of anguish she asked,"What happened next, Paul?
hvd.hn5lw3	My wife poisoned?
hvd.hn5lw3	No doubt, he was desper- ately mourning a happiness which he knew to be shattered; but did he still love Élisabeth?
hvd.hn5lw3	No doubt; but why?
hvd.hn5lw3	No, I am not sorry. ” Paul asked: “ He was devoted to the Comtesse Hermine, was he not?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Oh, I ask you, did you see his face?
hvd.hn5lw3	Oh, hang it, why ca n't our guns stop their damned row?
hvd.hn5lw3	Oh, no, you never smile, do you, when you demolish a Hun?
hvd.hn5lw3	Oh, perhaps you do n't believe me?
hvd.hn5lw3	Only, it's Prince Conrad whom you hate, is n't it?
hvd.hn5lw3	Or has he been the dupe of a scheming woman to the end and does he still bear a loving recollection of one who has van- ished from his life?
hvd.hn5lw3	Or not to find her at all?
hvd.hn5lw3	Or who can tell?
hvd.hn5lw3	Our fellows were waiting. ” “ And at Ornequin?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Outside was the open air, the good pure air with 346 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY know that your friend the Comtesse Hermine is dead, I suppose?
hvd.hn5lw3	PRINCE CONRAD MAKES MERRY 257 “ To a castle belonging to the Comtesse Hermine. ” “ And where is that castle? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.hn5lw3	Paris captured?
hvd.hn5lw3	Paul Delroze?
hvd.hn5lw3	Paul Delroze? ” he said.
hvd.hn5lw3	Paul gave a start: “ Your father is here?
hvd.hn5lw3	Paul mastered his emotion and said: “ You mean, the wall against which your people shot three French civilians, do n't you? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lw3	Paul uttered an exclamation of horror: “ Do you mean to say, sir, that we're bombarding Ornequin?
hvd.hn5lw3	Perhaps it belongs to you?
hvd.hn5lw3	Possible?
hvd.hn5lw3	Prince Conrad has fallen in matter; asked;;"But 75 OR 155?
hvd.hn5lw3	Prince Conrad prevented the execution. ” “ What's that?
hvd.hn5lw3	Proofs?
hvd.hn5lw3	Seventeen the day I en- listed. ” “ But what did your father say?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Shall I find out where he is and take you to him?'
hvd.hn5lw3	Shall I get it for you? ” “ Yes, do, ” said Paul eagerly.
hvd.hn5lw3	Shall I put you down this side of Corvigny?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Shall I tell you some- thing?
hvd.hn5lw3	Shall you find it, Paul?
hvd.hn5lw3	She moved towards him and, with her eyes in his, spoke in a voice so low that he could hardly hear:"You surely ca n't mean what you said, Paul?
hvd.hn5lw3	She shook her fist at them: “ You're to hurry, do you hear?
hvd.hn5lw3	She stammered: “ Dead?
hvd.hn5lw3	She stammered: “ What do you propose to do?
hvd.hn5lw3	She took alarm: “ But the Comtesse Hermine?
hvd.hn5lw3	She's alive? ” “ Yes, alive.
hvd.hn5lw3	So Monsieur le Comte does not mean to pay us a little visit this year? ” “ No, Jérôme, I do n't think so.
hvd.hn5lw3	So are we agreed?
hvd.hn5lw3	So you do not loathe me, do you?
hvd.hn5lw3	So you took him prisoner?
hvd.hn5lw3	Sulking?
hvd.hn5lw3	Surely it was an avowal?

hvd.hn5lw3	THE PENALTY 343 roze?
hvd.hn5lw3	Tell the colonel? ”"If you like, Bernard, but do n't speak of our- selves and of our private quarrel with the major.
hvd.hn5lw3	That's so, is it not?
hvd.hn5lw3	That's what these other gentle- men and you want to avoid at all costs... even at the cost of my liberty, eh?
hvd.hn5lw3	The Emperor?'
hvd.hn5lw3	The French troops?
hvd.hn5lw3	The colonel asked, in surprise: “ Do you know the place?
hvd.hn5lw3	The colonel shook his head: WHAT PAUL SAW AT ORNEQUIN 101 “ Retreating?
hvd.hn5lw3	The company on duty at Ornequin? ”"Never heard of again.
hvd.hn5lw3	The law of war?
hvd.hn5lw3	The lights are out. ” “ All the lights? ” “ All except one, there, over our heads."
hvd.hn5lw3	The major had made all the arrangements beforehand. ” “ What was the major's name? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hn5lw3	The major had the lady of the house buried by Prince Conrad's orders. ” “ Where? ” “ He did n't tell me."
hvd.hn5lw3	The rest is mystery. ” “ And what about the château?
hvd.hn5lw3	The retreat?
hvd.hn5lw3	The sentries?
hvd.hn5lw3	The war?
hvd.hn5lw3	The young man exclaimed, in an innocent voice: “ Ah, Paul, so you've come?
hvd.hn5lw3	Then he said: “ Is that all you ask? ” “ No, sir. ” “ What?
hvd.hn5lw3	Then he said: “ Is that all you ask? ” “ No, sir. ” “ What?
hvd.hn5lw3	Then what is at the back of it all?
hvd.hn5lw3	There's a bit more collar- work to do and we're going to do it without looking behind us, what?"
hvd.hn5lw3	They ca n't take you from HILL 132 297 “ You are staying with me?
hvd.hn5lw3	They had been guilty of treachery. ” “ A man and two women? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lw3	To murder me? ” He shrugged his shoulders: “ We are not murderers.
hvd.hn5lw3	Was it a trap?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was it an accident?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was it bringing reinforcements?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was it not reasonable to con- clude that this was Élisabeth's diary, which had been discovered and stolen by Major Hermann?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was it the glade in which his father had received his death- blow?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was she accusing her mother?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was the major thinking of killing him and of killing M. d'Andeville?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was there not every reason to believe that enemy forces, strongly entrenched and barricaded as these were, would prepare to offer a last resistance?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was this a precautionary measure on Major Hermann's part?
hvd.hn5lw3	Was this the little town where his father and he had hired their bicycles that day, the little town of Èbre- court?
hvd.hn5lw3	We made him comfort- able in a lodge in the park. ” “ The lodge against which your people put to death... those civilians? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5lw3	We rode across the country. ” “ But do n't you remember what the country was like?"
hvd.hn5lw3	We shall be able to finish off this job at last! ” He went and stood in front of his men at ten paces from the prince:"Are you ready, sir?
hvd.hn5lw3	We shall get there in time. ” “ In time for what? ” he retorted.
hvd.hn5lw3	We'll dip into it together, shall we?
hvd.hn5lw3	We're to shoot him down? ” “ Wait till I give the signal, ” answered Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	Were you very badly hurt?"
hvd.hn5lw3	What about the shutters? ” “ I do n't expect they're very close.
hvd.hn5lw3	What are they shelling, now that the enemy's no longer replying?
hvd.hn5lw3	What are you trying to say?"
hvd.hn5lw3	What band of murderers and spies have we run up against?"
hvd.hn5lw3	What can I do to cheer you up?
hvd.hn5lw3	What cared he for those revelations and the darkness that once again and for good shrouded the truth which he could no longer hope to discover?
hvd.hn5lw3	What cared he for vengeance or Prince Conrad or Major Hermann or all those savages who tortured and slew women?
hvd.hn5lw3	What clue could he trust in this darkness, in which each of his efforts was ending in disaster?
hvd.hn5lw3	What connection did it establish between this man and the one who had tried to stab him?
hvd.hn5lw3	What do they want?
hvd.hn5lw3	What do you care, sir, whether my wife is a prisoner or free?
hvd.hn5lw3	What do you mean?
hvd.hn5lw3	What had she discovered?
hvd.hn5lw3	What had Élisabeth written on that Wednesday after- noon?
hvd.hn5lw3	What has become of him?
hvd.hn5lw3	What has become of Élisabeth?
hvd.hn5lw3	What has been your constant object with regard to Paul Delroze?
hvd.hn5lw3	What have I to hope for in staying here?
hvd.hn5lw3	What have you to say against me?
hvd.hn5lw3	What identity was Paul to ascribe to him?
hvd.hn5lw3	What insight had she been able to obtain into the whole monstrous conglomeration of shame, infamy, treach- ery and crime?
hvd.hn5lw3	What is the connection between the past and the present, between the murder of long ago and the incomprehensible attack of the other night?
hvd.hn5lw3	What is the use of rebelling?
hvd.hn5lw3	What is your ob- ject?
hvd.hn5lw3	What object can there have been in that?"
hvd.hn5lw3	What secret has she discovered?
hvd.hn5lw3	What was her object?
hvd.hn5lw3	What was pre- paring in the darkness?
hvd.hn5lw3	What was the connection between these two and the Comtesse d’Andeville, who had died sixteen years ago?
hvd.hn5lw3	What would he say?
hvd.hn5lw3	What would she want to write?
hvd.hn5lw3	What you want is hock, good Rhine wine, eh, baby?
hvd.hn5lw3	What's that? ” cried Paul, over- come with joy.
hvd.hn5lw3	What's this?
hvd.hn5lw3	What's your name? ” “ Paul Delroze, sir, corporal in the third com- pany."
hvd.hn5lw3	When Paris was within an ace of being sacked?
hvd.hn5lw3	When an execution takes place, does one see marks of bullets like that?
hvd.hn5lw3	When was it hung there? ” Jérôme did not reply at once.
hvd.hn5lw3	Where are the embrasures?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Where are you off to?
hvd.hn5lw3	Where did he spring from? ” “ Nobody knows. ” “ But the night- patrols on the frontier?
hvd.hn5lw3	Where did he spring from? ” “ Nobody knows. ” “ But the night- patrols on the frontier?
hvd.hn5lw3	Where is he?
hvd.hn5lw3	Where would this one fall?
hvd.hn5lw3	Where's your smelling- bottle? ” Paul had at last succeeded in cramming half the towel into his mouth.
hvd.hn5lw3	Who are you?'
hvd.hn5lw3	Who was that scoundrel?
hvd.hn5lw3	Who was the woman?
hvd.hn5lw3	Who's downhearted, eh?
hvd.hn5lw3	Whom did you talk to?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Whose portrait was it?"
hvd.hn5lw3	Why did I stay here?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why did none of those men move?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why did they pay no attention to her orders?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why did you?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why expose yourself unnecessarily?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why go on fighting?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why not join her?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why not, since our honor demands it?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why should n't I use it?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why should you hate me?
hvd.hn5lw3	Why?
hvd.hn5lw3	Will you 156 75 OR 155?
hvd.hn5lw3	With what object was he attacking her?
hvd.hn5lw3	Yes, it's inadmissible, is it not?
hvd.hn5lw3	You can see the light shining through the middle. ” “ Well, but why are you doing it?
hvd.hn5lw3	You do n't look particularly delighted...?"
hvd.hn5lw3	You give it up?
hvd.hn5lw3	You may take it that Cor- vigny was invested, attacked, captured and occupied by the enemy, all in ten minutes. ” “ But where did he come from?
hvd.hn5lw3	You ought to be glad, on the contrary, because we are now positively cer- tain of laying hold of her. ”"Yes, but shall we do so in time?
hvd.hn5lw3	You ought to have made away with her, Karl! ” “ And the prince? ” chuckled the spy.
hvd.hn5lw3	You quite understand?
hvd.hn5lw3	You refuse?
hvd.hn5lw3	You used to smile; and, if you were still alive, you would now be wearing that same kind and gentle look?
hvd.hn5lw3	You went to the length of MAJOR HERMANN 187 “ Are you sure of that, Excellenz? ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hn5lw3	You went to the length of MAJOR HERMANN 187 “ Are you sure of that, Excellenz? ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hn5lw3	You were kind and gentle, were you not?
hvd.hn5lw3	You will stay till to- morrow, surely?
hvd.hn5lw3	You wish to know if I am the Countess von Hohenzollern?
hvd.hn5lw3	You'll make them drop where you please, I suppose? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hn5lw3	You're going to pack up your things at express speed and we shall be off. ” “ Where to? ” “ Where to?
hvd.hn5lw3	You're going to pack up your things at express speed and we shall be off. ” “ Where to? ” “ Where to?
hvd.hn5lw3	You're quite sure?"
hvd.hn5lw3	You've turned the head of an imperial prince... and then you were shot... and then... and then... Oh, what does it all matter?
hvd.hn5lw3	Your father came with you? ” “ Just so; and in the most natural manner.
hvd.hn5lw3	and the keeper also and his wife; and by the same hand, by the same hand, Bernard, do you understand?
hvd.hn5lw3	before they moved in. ” “ When was that? ” Paul's agony was unendurable during the three or four seconds before the reply.
hvd.hn5lw3	but you will kill him, wo n't you? ” Paul could speak no more.
hvd.hn5lw3	in France? ” “ Saw him with my own eyes; and I have never forgotten a single one of the details that marked the meeting.
hvd.hn5lw3	pp “ Some one must have been here recently and taken the pocketbook. ” “ Who?
hvd.hn5lw3	that you had me caught like a rat in a trap?
hvd.hn5lw3	your company? ” “ Oh, sir, if you only knew!
hvd.hn5lw3	ÉLISABETH'S DIARY 135 How can I get proofs of something that happened seventeen years ago?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ About what age was she? ” “ Forty."
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Ah, so you're Jérôme? ” cried Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Am I not entitled to regard her as guilty and to suppose that her tears are due to remorse?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And did the major spend the night here? ” “ I suppose so; at any rate, he was there this morning.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And do you know Paul Delroze?'
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And do you know a way of doing it?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And is the regiment at Corvigny?'
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And the tunnel? ” “ Out of the question.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And, if it is, why look so anxious?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And, if we're surrounded? ” “ By whom?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ And, if we're surrounded? ” “ By whom?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Any of your people there? ” “ Very few.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Any one hurt? ” “ No, sir. ” M. d’Andeville went on: “ The strangest part of it was finding Bernard at your colonel's last night.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Are you ready to see the job through, boys?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Are you ready? ” he whispered to Bernard.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Are you sure? ” MAJOR HERMANN 185 “ Certain.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ As I did not answer, he bent forward a little and continued, in a low voice: “'You hate me, do n't you?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ At his age? ” “ Nonsense, he's quite juvenile.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ At what?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But since then?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But still, ” Paul insisted,"he was your actual commanding officer?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But suppose I want too much, sir? ” “ Go ahead. ” “ Very well, sir, I accept.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But then what is she doing here? ” Paul asked PRINCE CONRAD MAKES MERRY 239 himself.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But why should I trouble?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But why so much hatred?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ But why was she shot? ” “ I understand that she had got hold of some very important secrets."
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Did your father believe in the possibility of an- other war? ” “ Yes; and he wanted to prepare me for it.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Do n't you understand?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Do you know what this is?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Does Second Lieutenant Delroze know that I am coming to see him? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Take me to his room. ” Paul Delroze was sitting up.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Forgive me, sir, for interfering in what's not my business; but we might, I think, avoid...""Avoid the peppering?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ From Ornequin?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ He looked at me as though to say: “'What do you think of that?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ His mother?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ How can they spot us like this?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ How can we find out?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ How?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ How?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ I may call you old chap, may n't I?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ I mean to do only one thing, to do for Karl. ” “ And then? ” “ Then they'll take us prisoners.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ I shall ask you to give me a leg up and to keep hidden your- self. ” “ You want to climb to the ledge of one of the windows?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ I take it there must be at least three of them. ” “ Where does the staircase lead to? ” “ To the château, obviously.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ I told you, a woman. ” “ What woman?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ I?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Is it a feeling of protest or his rage at being unmasked that makes him shake like that?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Is this your starting- point?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ No. ” “ How do you know? ” “ Through that prisoner.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Nobody going or coming in the garden? ” “ No.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Paul, ” Élisabeth entreated, “ what is it?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Sha'n't you want me over there, Excellenz? ” “ No.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ She kept to the park? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Tell me about it, wo n't you, Paul? ” asked Élisa- beth.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ The struggle will never be over as long as that woman lives. ” “ Well, but who is she? ” Paul did not answer.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Then you saw her face? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Then you're going back to France, Excellenz? ” “ Yes, my plan is ripe. ” “ The same plan? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Then you're going back to France, Excellenz? ” “ Yes, my plan is ripe. ” “ The same plan? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ To find her dead or wounded?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ We have nothing more to fear? ” “ Nothing. ” The tension from which she was suffering sud- 298 THE WOMAN OF MYSTERY denly relaxed.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ We were being spied upon. ”"Obviously; but who was the spy and where was he? ” “ I learnt that by accident.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Well, Bernard, what is it?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Well, what do you propose to do? ” “ I shall join the detachment of volunteers.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Well? ”"Well, in clearing away the soil, I have broken through the ceiling of one of the old rooms.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What about the two brothers- in- law?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What can be happening?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What do you mean? ” “ Excellenz, Delroze started on a reconnaissance not long ago with his brother- in- law, Bernard d'An- deville.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What do you mean? ” “ Why, he's enlisted, too."
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What do you think of that? ” repeated the spy.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What do you want to say?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What on earth came over you? ” cried Bernard.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What was the color of the scarf you mentioned? ” “ Black. ” “ How was it fastened?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What was the color of the scarf you mentioned? ” “ Black. ” “ How was it fastened?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What's all this?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What's that you say, Excellenz? ”"I say, that they are taken.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What's that? ” repeated Paul, but in a dull voice this time and with a face distorted with anger.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What's the matter? ” asked Bernard.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What? ” asked Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ What?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“ When were they shot? ” “ About six o'clock in the afternoon, I believe, be- fore we arrived from Corvigny."
hvd.hn5lw3	“ When? ” “ To- morrow.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Where are our reinforcements? ” asked Paul.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Who can have supplied them with those uni- forms?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Who is she?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Who ordered them to be shot? ” “ The major. ” Paul felt the perspiration trickling from the top of his head down his neck and forehead.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Why is he trembling? ” Paul asked himself; and his suspicions increased until they became an actual accusation.
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Why not? ” “ Let's try and take him alive."
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Would you know her again if you saw her, Paul? ” “ Would I know her again!
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Would you know her again? ” “ Without a moment's hesitation."
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Yes, but why these questions? ” “ Why?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Yes, but why these questions? ” “ Why?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ You're quite sure?
hvd.hn5lw3	“ Your father has remained outside? ” Paul asked his brother- in- law.
hvd.hn5lw3	“"Then there's no more fever?'
hvd.hn5lw3	“'And what about yourselves, Rosalie?"
hvd.hn5lw3	“'Can I leave the château?'
hvd.hn5lw3	“'Madame,'he said,'I daresay you do n't know who I am?
hvd.hn5lw3	“'Well, what do you want to do?'
hvd.hn5lw3	“'What reasons, Rosalie?
hvd.hn6q4n	Then how about to- morrow?
hvd.hn6q4n	'” That bit sharper than Whittaker guessed; or did Billy guess?
hvd.hn6q4n	(?)
hvd.hn6q4n	-re you telling me all this for, Jim? ” he de- ectly at last.
hvd.hn6q4n	148 THE BREATH OF SCANDAL-- “ What else, Mr. Stanway, have you come to let us hear? ” “ Let you hear?

hvd.hn6q4n	164 THE BREATH OF SCANDAL “ Do?
hvd.hn6q4n	6 What have I done?
hvd.hn6q4n	66 Where?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Affection?
hvd.hn6q4n	And Mrs. Hale, Gregg! ” “ Oh, what about her, Bill?
hvd.hn6q4n	And look at the dancing, too; ever seen decenter than that?
hvd.hn6q4n	And what to Marjorie?
hvd.hn6q4n	And what was happening to Marjorie?
hvd.hn6q4n	And you're going to try to make good?
hvd.hn6q4n	Are n't you here to play the real game? ” “ What game?
hvd.hn6q4n	Are n't you here to play the real game? ” “ What game?
hvd.hn6q4n	Are you going to take 176 THE BREATH OF SCANDAL him back?
hvd.hn6q4n	At a dance hall or cabaret?
hvd.hn6q4n	Besides, if that woman were Mrs. Russell, what could Marjorie do?
hvd.hn6q4n	Bill?
hvd.hn6q4n	Bill?
hvd.hn6q4n	Bill? ” “ No. ” “ Your father?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Bill? ” “ No. ” “ Your father?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Break up families and where would any one be?
hvd.hn6q4n	But I was almost ready to wreck everything, for the sake of feeling right, when you came. ” “ Then why in the world are n't you now?"
hvd.hn6q4n	But badly hurt?
hvd.hn6q4n	But do you think, when you do a thing like that and when you say a thing like this against Mr. Rinderfeld, it's not — also an insult to me?
hvd.hn6q4n	But that book did do me some good to- night. ” “ How?"
hvd.hn6q4n	But the purpose of this epistle is this: mother's hav- ing a few people in for dinner before we go over to the Lovells'dance; will you come?
hvd.hn6q4n	But there must be some other way out besides scandal or coming not to care. ” “ You do n't feel that, Marjorie?"
hvd.hn6q4n	But what do you do to a kid, if you get'em without marryin'; and what do you get yourself into if you do?"
hvd.hn6q4n	But why did he have this big house and his big in- come now?
hvd.hn6q4n	But, could he be sure?
hvd.hn6q4n	But, without Russell, was Stanway helpless; or had he another move?
hvd.hn6q4n	Ca n't we have it here?
hvd.hn6q4n	Ca n't you get a job now?
hvd.hn6q4n	Can you imagine me trustin'a man — one man — any man — after what I've seen?
hvd.hn6q4n	Can you just imagine him trying to tackle this?
hvd.hn6q4n	Did Gregg tell you the telephone number? ” “ No.
hvd.hn6q4n	Did I tell you that the other day?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Did she know what was the matter with Jen Cordeen's, Marjorie wondered, and was she mean- ing to take a room there, anyway?
hvd.hn6q4n	Did they hear the shot downstairs?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Do n't you know anything about it?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Do n't you see?
hvd.hn6q4n	Do n't you see?
hvd.hn6q4n	Do they not?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Do we go out to exterminate them?
hvd.hn6q4n	Do you believe me? ” “ Of course I do, ” said Gregg.
hvd.hn6q4n	Do you get it now?
hvd.hn6q4n	Do you know, dear, how you're fixed for — money?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Do you see? ” “ What?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Do you see? ” “ What?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Do you think it's so awful? ” Gregg started because she had caught him think- ing about it.
hvd.hn6q4n	Do? ” stammered Bill, backing away.
hvd.hn6q4n	Does n't he want to collect?
hvd.hn6q4n	Does your assist- ant know Marjorie?
hvd.hn6q4n	Everywhere out- doors; is that not so?
hvd.hn6q4n	Exactly what had she said?
hvd.hn6q4n	Fear of what?
hvd.hn6q4n	For you would n't know the sort of man we need, Billy; thank Heaven! ” “ Lowest?
hvd.hn6q4n	Good old Bill; he thinks the kun on ten commandments and fourteen picture next to his mother's on the dresser in there, has n't he?
hvd.hn6q4n	Gregg, her father's not dead? ” “ I do n't know; she does n't either.
hvd.hn6q4n	Gregg, where's Marjorie; does she know it?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Had Marjorie come home?
hvd.hn6q4n	He always wishes to spare me, does n't he, dear? ” “ Yes, mother, ” Marjorie said again, wretchedly.
hvd.hn6q4n	He came from Rock- ford, and was in the army, was n't he? ” “ That's the one."
hvd.hn6q4n	He came from Rock-# was in the army, was n't he?"
hvd.hn6q4n	He has to go to St. Louis to- night. ” “ Right after dinner?"
hvd.hn6q4n	He ordered a chop and coffee, started to ask her, “ That's all you really want?"
hvd.hn6q4n	He wanted early dinner to- night. ” “ Mail or telephone to- day, Dora?"
hvd.hn6q4n	He'd just come “ Mr. Hale, you mean? ” “ Yes; George was waiting for him here."
hvd.hn6q4n	He's determined to bring me back to what I was. ” “ What do you want to do, Marjorie? ” “ What can I?
hvd.hn6q4n	He's determined to bring me back to what I was. ” “ What do you want to do, Marjorie? ” “ What can I?
hvd.hn6q4n	He, himself — Gregg — what had he to offer her?
hvd.hn6q4n	Her eyes?
hvd.hn6q4n	Her what?
hvd.hn6q4n	Honest?
hvd.hn6q4n	How could he do a thing like that? ” “ Oh,"Gregg said, as though recollecting.
hvd.hn6q4n	How could he face her?
hvd.hn6q4n	How could he have sinned, as he had, and kept his conscience so clear?
hvd.hn6q4n	How could he — could he?"
hvd.hn6q4n	How did you hear? ” “ When some one sent for Doctor Grantham.
hvd.hn6q4n	How do you do?
hvd.hn6q4n	How does she act?
hvd.hn6q4n	How is our five, Gregg?"
hvd.hn6q4n	How is our five, Gregg?"
hvd.hn6q4n	How many of his associates, do you suppose, were surprised and shocked by the morning papers?
hvd.hn6q4n	How many of you happened?
hvd.hn6q4n	How's yours?"
hvd.hn6q4n	How?
hvd.hn6q4n	How?
hvd.hn6q4n	How? ” “ At a road house; at Cragero's."
hvd.hn6q4n	I am very sorry; but I am sure that it is so. ” “ Why can I not understand?
hvd.hn6q4n	I do n't know anything more than that! ” “ Where did he shoot him?"
hvd.hn6q4n	I saw you start; what happened when you got there? ” “ Oh, Doctor Grantham operated.
hvd.hn6q4n	I see that wo n't do now; but we have to send some word home, Gregg; what am I going to say?"
hvd.hn6q4n	I was wonderin'; and what was you thinkin'a man was thinkin'about when he grabbed you?
hvd.hn6q4n	I wish you'd never refer to any- thing he said. ” “ I think of what he said any number of times a day. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn6q4n	I wrote him a special note; and then telephoned him twice, besides begging you to bring him; did n't I, Mr. Mowbry?"
hvd.hn6q4n	I'll go there; where's Billy? ” She looked about, with an effort of memory recalling where they were and what they had been doing.
hvd.hn6q4n	I'll just call Leonard, then. ” 50 THE BREATH OF SCANDAL “ No; you must n't do even that! ” “ Why not?
hvd.hn6q4n	I'm glad, Bill. ” “ Glad?
hvd.hn6q4n	I've done it myself. ” “ Done what?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Impossible for Bill but figure where it would hit into that mix- up; he'd lose his Marjorie orie, you been recently?
hvd.hn6q4n	In his office?
hvd.hn6q4n	In what strange, particular danger might she be in this moment of this night?
hvd.hn6q4n	Is father worse?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Is that not so? ” Marjorie startled a little and flushed.
hvd.hn6q4n	Is there enough of the other to go all around? ” His hold on her limp hand had been relaxing; now he let go entirely.
hvd.hn6q4n	It's easy enough to say he's bad; but, in all but one part of his life, who is better?
hvd.hn6q4n	Just what's in the paper? ” “ Yes. ” And then she told him.
hvd.hn6q4n	Kid, then why in hell do n't you marry him?
hvd.hn6q4n	Knock down father and who, besides Mr. Stanway, would thank you?
hvd.hn6q4n	Let's go. ” “ Go?
hvd.hn6q4n	Lovell?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Maybe they're operating on him now. ” “ What're you going to do?
hvd.hn6q4n	Mother's been rather high up about it all day. ” “ Where ’ve you been?
hvd.hn6q4n	Mr. Rinderfeld's never hurt me; he would n't dream of doing to me what you, yourself, have just done! ”"?
hvd.hn6q4n	Mrs. Russell supports herself. ” “ Do you mean my mother ought to have worked?
hvd.hn6q4n	No; then what — what to punish him?
hvd.hn6q4n	Not a peep in the papers, d’you see that?
hvd.hn6q4n	Not- not here? ” “ No,"said Gregg.
hvd.hn6q4n	Now I — I'd be a bird for her, would n't I?
hvd.hn6q4n	Now maybe you'll believe me and get to work. ” “ Where? ” “ What did you say?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Now maybe you'll believe me and get to work. ” “ Where? ” “ What did you say?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Now what, in your opinion, forced him out?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Now you know Mr. Hale better than I do; is he the kind to stand for a hold- up?
hvd.hn6q4n	Now, do you want to slip him the job of mixing into that affair?
hvd.hn6q4n	Oh, sweetheart, I feel the awfulness of it, too; but we've got to go through it or —"“ Or what?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Or had no Mr. Dantwill warned her?
hvd.hn6q4n	Or twenty?
hvd.hn6q4n	Remember you told him I'd give him wholesale prices on tires?
hvd.hn6q4n	Rinderfeld glanced at her and waited and, when she did not proceed, he said, “ Why did he do it?
hvd.hn6q4n	Rinderfeld wanted that?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Say, can Georgie Russell collect?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Say, have you got a drink about you?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Say, now, where'll we step this eve?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Second, is Hale going to die?
hvd.hn6q4n	She is in?"
hvd.hn6q4n	She refused him answer; so he demanded, “ You'll stay here with your father? ” She looked up at that.
hvd.hn6q4n	She was fascinating when she smiled and looked at one as she did at Marjorie with an “ amused at me?
hvd.hn6q4n	She will expect you to go now. ” “ Yes; and you, father? ” He understood what she meant, but he would not show it.

hvd.hn6q4n	Suppose Rinderfeld were wrong; suppose this man did not know, or, at least, had not known, what had she told him?
hvd.hn6q4n	Suppose frightful, unthinkable things were happening to her this instant; or had happened; or would before — before what?
hvd.hn6q4n	Sure, I want that; ever see a girl, who's any good, would n't like one?

hvd.hn6q4n	That was nineteen years ago, was it?
hvd.hn6q4n	That's the worst of him you ever see?
hvd.hn6q4n	That's what you're here for; to get the snap, ai n't it?
hvd.hn6q4n	That's why no- body could answer till I got in the back way. ” “ What was it, Gregg?
hvd.hn6q4n	The chauffeur approached them; and Marjorie said: “ You're Doctor Grantham's driver?"
hvd.hn6q4n	The set- up on the other side of the sketch's got to be a man, has n't he?
hvd.hn6q4n	The thought of it roused him; was she there?
hvd.hn6q4n	The- What's matter wi ’ Russell, damn fool?
hvd.hn6q4n	Then they started that talk that a man must n't beat up his woman; who'd they want a man to take on when he got soused, — a.cop?
hvd.hn6q4n	Then what good would it have done? ” “ Well, he did n't, ” Gregg reminded, manifestly.
hvd.hn6q4n	Then what're you sore about?
hvd.hn6q4n	Then, if I did not, I would soon become able to understand? ” Rinderfeld looked up so quickly that he almost jerked.
hvd.hn6q4n	Then, what can he do? ” Marjorie stared and, in a moment, nodded and Rinderfeld arose.
hvd.hn6q4n	Well, suppose it did?
hvd.hn6q4n	Well, what was worse?
hvd.hn6q4n	What are you going to do?
hvd.hn6q4n	What can I do for you?
hvd.hn6q4n	What do you know about him?
hvd.hn6q4n	What do you know, Marjorie?
hvd.hn6q4n	What had she put into his hands?
hvd.hn6q4n	What had she said?
hvd.hn6q4n	What harm, at any rate, in looking at Clara Seeley?
hvd.hn6q4n	What has happened?
hvd.hn6q4n	What have you told her?
hvd.hn6q4n	What he did n't like was to have » “ What, please? ” 6 Me, and other men, liking you in it."
hvd.hn6q4n	What is it that has happened? ” he asked Marjorie again, turning to her.
hvd.hn6q4n	What sort of help could Bill give; how could he aid her to understand?
hvd.hn6q4n	What was against the place?
hvd.hn6q4n	What was she now?
hvd.hn6q4n	What was that Bill's all worked up about anyway, Gregg? ” “ Oh,"said Gregg.
hvd.hn6q4n	What was the matter at this number he had so emphatically obliterated?
hvd.hn6q4n	What you want?
hvd.hn6q4n	What"he stopped- “ Was she — ” he started again and then tried, “ Has anything —?"
hvd.hn6q4n	What'd you want me to tell'em? ” “ Nothing, ” said Marjorie, humbly.
hvd.hn6q4n	What's been the matter with you, man?
hvd.hn6q4n	What's his name, Gregg?
hvd.hn6q4n	What's she done? ” Marjorie stared from Billy to Sybil Russell and back to Billy again.
hvd.hn6q4n	When Hale sleepily called, “ What?
hvd.hn6q4n	When did you find that out? ” “ I've known it all along,"Gregg confessed.
hvd.hn6q4n	When they are, it's gone like that, home; and you ca n't come back to it just by opening a door of a house and stepping in, can you?"
hvd.hn6q4n	When was it, father?
hvd.hn6q4n	Where is he?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Where is your mother?
hvd.hn6q4n	Where would that be? ” She stared at the glow.
hvd.hn6q4n	Where's she now?
hvd.hn6q4n	Where- am I?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Where?
hvd.hn6q4n	Where?
hvd.hn6q4n	While he had been becoming a great surgeon, had he, like his friend, her father, also become some one strange inside, Marjorie wondered?
hvd.hn6q4n	Whittaker home yet?
hvd.hn6q4n	Who do you say is downstairs?
hvd.hn6q4n	Who is it? ” Billy continued to knock until Hale unlocked the door, when Billy promptly pushed it open and entered.
hvd.hn6q4n	Who will have your address?"
hvd.hn6q4n	Who will know where you are?
hvd.hn6q4n	Who's the best man in Chicago to fix this?
hvd.hn6q4n	Who's there? ” “ Father!
hvd.hn6q4n	Why did he want to?
hvd.hn6q4n	Why did n't you explain to me how it would come out — if it does? ” “ That's Rinderfeld for you! ” Billy countered.
hvd.hn6q4n	Why do n't you ask him that?
hvd.hn6q4n	Why had n't she stayed in her room?
hvd.hn6q4n	Why, oh, why did he?
hvd.hn6q4n	Why? ” “ Russell, ” said Gregg.
hvd.hn6q4n	Why? ” “ Then ca n't he be Russell for a few minutes?
hvd.hn6q4n	Why? ” “ Then ca n't he be Russell for a few minutes?
hvd.hn6q4n	Will you wait a while to give me a chance to make good for you? ” “ No, ” she said.
hvd.hn6q4n	Would she exchange places with that girl she had been?
hvd.hn6q4n	You did n't fall for it, did you?
hvd.hn6q4n	You here, Gregg? ” He did not add ver- bally, but he might as well have said, that he had for- gotten all about Gregg.
hvd.hn6q4n	You must tell him everything that happened here; and I think you had better tell him anything else he wants to know. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn6q4n	You said you were glad to see me because I can go to her; what word did you want to send to her?"
hvd.hn6q4n	You see? ” “ Of course."
hvd.hn6q4n	You see?"

hvd.hn6q4n	“ A man?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ All right; when do you come to see me?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ All what? ” demanded Gregg.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ All?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Any change, doctor?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Are you calling up the Hales'?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Bill take care of this?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Bill,"Gregg said quickly, as Marjorie went back into the hall, “ come here a minute! ” “ Why?

hvd.hn6q4n	“ Bourbon. ” “ Your own still or bootlegged? ” “ Twelve dollars a quart, ” assured Mr. Saltro, proudly.

hvd.hn6q4n	“ Clara, every man I danced with to- night — but one-- was- was"“ What? ” urged Clara indistinctly, for the hair- pins between her lips.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Could n't we talk over a table? ” he asked, in his pleasant way.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Dear Marjorie, will you marry me to- morrow?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Did any one else?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Did he see you to- day?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Do I pet and kiss comin'home in a cab?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Do n't you want to get out of this way of living some day, Clara?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Do what?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Do you remember me?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Do you see anything else to be got out?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Do you want to talk with me?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Doctor Grant- ham's office?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Does n't Doctor Grantham want you to drive yet?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Ever hear of Augusta Street?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Ever smoke? ” he tried Marjorie, with revived hope as he drew out an elaborately chased cigarette case.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Ever toddled at Sennen's?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Father, what is it?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Felix Rinderfeld?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Flies cause troubles, do they not?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ From the sounds that drifted into the hall, I thought possibly he'd heard of the hell to pay at the Hales ”. ” “ What hell to pay?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Good?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Grantham?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Gregg, did that girl tell you that father is — dying? ” “ No; no, Marjorie.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Gregg, you have n't seen Marjorie, have you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Had supper, Marjorie? ” Gregg inquired.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Have one, Bill?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Have some of this?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Have trouble getting here, Gregg? ” “ No, ” he replied slowly.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Have you got a friend?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ He means who's the lowest lawyer you know, Billy; or the lowest THE BREATH OF SCANDAL 175 you've heard of?

hvd.hn6q4n	“ Heh?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ His Marjorie?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Home?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How are we this morning? ” he asked, in his cheery, impersonal voice.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How can he feel so little?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How could I lose my job?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How did you know that?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How do you do?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How do you know?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How is Billy dead? ” Marjorie was saying to him; she had shut the door.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How is he, doctor? ” Gregg asked.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How much happiness is, Billy?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How much is this room?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How soon can I see you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ How's business?

hvd.hn6q4n	“ I mean are you Sybil Russell?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ I'm Miss Hale; do you know how my father is? ” “ No, miss."
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Into what? ” demanded Clara, practically.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Is Mrs. Russell here?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Is he living?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Is the doctor there? ” “ He is just coming in."
hvd.hn6q4n	“ It ought to be here any minute now. ” “ What hospital?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ It's been bad on you, Margy, has n't it?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Like this?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Mind if I smoke?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Mowbry?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ No message then?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ No, ” she said, staring at him; then, dully, she asked, “ Why?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ No. ” “ How about water?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ No. ” “ Where're we going? ” “ West; the last town I noticed was Foseca; I sup pose it's in Illinois or southern Wisconsin."

hvd.hn6q4n	“ No? ” he rejoined, freeing himself from her quietly.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Not call mother?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Not far; you've come to see me, Gregg? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Now, where are they to be found in their season?

hvd.hn6q4n	“ Somebody hurt your foot?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ That I'm coming not to care?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ That is all you sent for me for?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ That's Russell's home?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ That's what we mean, is n't it, Gregg? ” Marjorie appealed.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ The Follies; yes — was n't that perfectly frightful?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Then Marjorie did n't see her mother? ” “ Just called good night to her and she went to her room, Marjorie did.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Then what did he do?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Then why — why, ” Marjorie stammered, “ do you have anything to do with them; why do you let them- touch you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ There's no need of Mowbry going, is there? ” he quickly asked Marjorie.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ These are yours?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ They let you out, you mean? ” “ You've guessed it. ” 270 THE BREATH OF SCANDAL “ Why?"

hvd.hn6q4n	“ Try one now?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Well, that's good, is n't it?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Well, what's the big idea? ” “ Mowbry's my name; I'm a friend of Charles Hale, whom you shot, and I'm more a friend of his daughter."
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What about him?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What are you telling me all this for, Jim?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What d'I care about purity?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What did he have to tell you? ” So she repeated to him Rinderfeld's analysis of the danger threatening them.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What did they do to you different from what you're used to?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What did you come to me to ask me?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What did you keep that to yourself for? ” And Gregg still managed to restrain himself.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What did you say?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What did you say?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What difference does it make? ” “ Whether he put Russell up to it?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What difference does it make? ” “ Whether he put Russell up to it?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What direction are you going to- night? ” “ South Shore Club. ” “ I thought it was n't in the direction of Evanston.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What do you know about father now?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What do you mean? ” she asked, obviously not ques- tioning the fact that night had come.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What does she mean to do to herself?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What has happened to my father?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What in hell do you want?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What is it, Gregg? ” Billy demanded.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What is it, Margy? ” he asked again.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What is it?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What is the regular sequence of events, please?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What was it?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What was that work you did n't go to to- day?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What's happened here? ” Gregg demanded of Mrs. Russell.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What's happened to him?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What's the best thing for me to do now?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What? ” Bill grabbed him with both hands.

hvd.hn6q4n	“ What? ” “ Veerage Street, Gregg! ” “ Never heard of it; why?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What? ” “ Veerage Street, Gregg! ” “ Never heard of it; why?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ What?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ When did he go there?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ When did you drop up?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where are you going? ” he asked and, still, re- fused answer, repeated it twice.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where have they taken — Mr. Hale?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where is Billy, dear?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where is he now?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where is the telephone? ” he asked.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where shall we?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where to, sir?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where was she?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where were they?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where ’ve you been recently?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where'll I get to work?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where're you going? ” he asked, advancing.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where's Veerage Street?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where've you been sitting out with Marjorie? ” “ Telephone call; can you come downstairs?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Where've you been sitting out with Marjorie? ” “ Telephone call; can you come downstairs?"

hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why are you asking?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why did he do it, Doctor Grantham?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why do you suppose you can keep me from my father?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why not? ” “ Hartford ”; Gregg recollected an excuse.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why not? ” “ I was here with father when he found — Clearedge Street. ” And she turned from him and from the fire also and stared off.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why were n't you? ” Gregg shook his head; no more with Billy than with Mrs. Russell would he take refuge in generalities on business conditions.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why, anything happen to you to- night, dearie? ” she demanded with suspicious concern.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Why?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Will you come to the telephone, Miss Hale?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Would she know him?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Yes; another man. ” “ Nobody else?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Yes; he — went there. ” What had he told her in that tone he could not con- trol?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Yes; we had lunch together. ” “ What?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You coming?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You could n't have a much better show- up of him; what does he care about the right or wrong of any case?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You do n't want Bill even put it, do you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You do n't want Bill even to know about it, do you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You got that?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You have n't known Clara long?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You knew that?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You knew that? ” “ Yes; he'd come in with me, George had.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You know nothing or next to nothing. ” “ About you and Mrs. Russell?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You managed to get him?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You mean do n't I want more coin?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You mean to do business?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You mean, Mr. Rinderfeld, ” she repeated again her address of him, “ that Mr. Stanway — caused that?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You must be out more and doing things. ” “ What things? ” said Marjorie; and Billy did not particularize.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You said he was a bad actor for him to- night, kid?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You said to Rinderfeld you're not going to Europe with your mother; what do you mean to do?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You want him here? ” “ Yes. ” “ What?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You want him here? ” “ Yes. ” “ What?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You want to go home?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You will get him?"
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You'll hurry, wo n't you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You're not thinking of changing into another line of business again to go with Hartford? ” “ Why not? ” Gregg this time inquired.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You're not thinking of changing into another line of business again to go with Hartford? ” “ Why not? ” Gregg this time inquired.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You're running back to the garage? ” “ No; just up on the lawn there.
hvd.hn6q4n	“ You've taken a drink before now, have n't you?
hvd.hn6q4n	“ Your hard- boiled friend? ” “ Hmhm.
hvd.hn6q4n	“'Nother friend of mine; call yourself a friend of mine, do you?
hvd.hn6q4n	” When again he waited, again Marjorie nodded, “ Now what do we do about them?
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ At a restaurant; a low restaurant called, I be- lieve —"“ She was alone with him?"
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ Carson?
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ George. ” “ You mean George Russell who was your husband?"
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ I? ” Her mind had not come back to herself and Gregg again.
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ Last night. ” “ What time?"
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ Mrs. Russell still lives here? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then I'll come back, ” Marjorie announced, staring about.
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ She told me so to- day in plain English. ” “ What?
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ Yes. ” “ You came out to see him?"
hvd.hn6q4n	” “ Yes; I am. ” “ Who else is here?"
hvd.hn6q4n	• “ When I was watchin'you; how could anybody get your way?
hvd.hx526y	- “ Can we ever catch them up? ” I asked.
hvd.hx526y	52 Robbery in High Places “ Oh — she went in, did she?
hvd.hx526y	A cigar band, a thing made of paper? ” There was the faintest suggestion of surprise in his voice.
hvd.hx526y	A man spoke first: “ Hello, who's this? ” “ Esther Maitland.
hvd.hx526y	After he'd gone she took off her veil — what for?
hvd.hx526y	Ai n't there a proverb about the best laid plans of mice and men slipping up when you least expect it?
hvd.hx526y	And if he had n’t, then where was she?
hvd.hx526y	And what ’s he after me for? ” “ You lived at Grasslands.
hvd.hx526y	And you will give it — you will?
hvd.hx526y	Any woman would have been thrilled but me, knowing what I did — ca n’t you see my thoughts going round in wheels and whirligigs?
hvd.hx526y	Are n't you cursing it now? ” Bad as I believed her to be I could n’t but be sorry for her, for I ’ve been in that position myself.
hvd.hx526y	Are you going to the beach? ’ ” Bébita explained our quest and said she was going to give it up — there was n’t a single lady- slipper left.
hvd.hx526y	Are you sure the man on the'phone was Chapman? ” “ It must have been.
hvd.hx526y	As the men fumbled for matches, the janitor came clumping across the hall, calling in querulous protest: “ Say — how ’d you get in there?
hvd.hx526y	Brand me as a thief — that's their game, is it?
hvd.hx526y	But could n’t she have been employed by some one — are n’t there gangs who put people on the spot to rob for them? ” “ Certainly there are.
hvd.hx526y	But gyou did n’t believe this? ” She shook her head and bit on her underlip to con- trol its trembling.
hvd.hx526y	But — 118 Ferguson's Idea er — er — what I wanted to say was — er — why is it?"
hvd.hx526y	But, Mr. Larkin did not suppose she took the exhausting trip from Berkeley for nothing, did he?
hvd.hx526y	Did you see it? ” Willitts looked at the box and shook his head: “ No, sir.
hvd.hx526y	Did you? ” “ Of course I did.
hvd.hx526y	Do you mean really going? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hx526y	Do you think she ’d steal for him, lie for him, hire a room to meet him in, unless she was so crazy about him she was clay in his hands? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hx526y	Does any one want to walk back to Grasslands? ” Suzanne, one foot on the step, stopped and turned to him.
hvd.hx526y	Esther, do you know what it is? ” She was silent, her head drooping, her hands growing cold in his grasp.
hvd.hx526y	For if they were, the theft might be traced to its author — and then what?
hvd.hx526y	Going to miss me? ” “ Um, I always miss you, Popsy.
hvd.hx526y	Got that straight?
hvd.hx526y	Got that straight?
hvd.hx526y	Had n’t the Janneys set him up in business over I Miss Maitland Private Secretary and over and found it hopeless?
hvd.hx526y	He did n’t take his child, he never thought of it, he could n’t do it. ” “ Then who did?"
hvd.hx526y	He met it, teetered his head in quiet comprehension and murmured: “ She did n’t see you? ” “ Oh no, she was not looking that way.
hvd.hx526y	He spoke through closed teeth: “ What about her? ” “ Well, what sort is she?
hvd.hx526y	He spoke through closed teeth: “ What about her? ” “ Well, what sort is she?
hvd.hx526y	He was no fool — suppose what he thought was true?
hvd.hx526y	Her lips opened to speak, and then she saw the back of his head and heard him address Esther: “ How about it, Miss Maitland?
hvd.hx526y	How could I help it?
hvd.hx526y	How did he get the rose?
hvd.hx526y	I called you up to say everything was O. K. ” Her answer came with a deep, sighing breath: “ It may be now — but how can we tell?
hvd.hx526y	I heard him say, “ What's on? ” and the other an- swered: “ Do n’t know but I guess it ’s the movies. ” 293=.
hvd.hx526y	I took a long spin up the Island. ” “ Up? ” said Whitney, “ not being a Long Islander I do n’t know your directions.
hvd.hx526y	I ’m taking a short cut through the woods. ” “ Where are you going now? ” “ To Cedar Brook.
hvd.hx526y	I ’ve noticed it; other people have. ” “ What do you mean? ” “ Why, you ’re different, you ’ve lost your good spirits.
hvd.hx526y	If she reciprocated — and there ’s few that would n’t or I do n’t know my own sex — what was she doing with Price?
hvd.hx526y	In short, pay them what they ask and let them go? ” “ Of course. ” She almost cried it out in her effort to make him comprehend her position.
hvd.hx526y	Is he in the country? ” “ No — he's here.
hvd.hx526y	Is it the right thing for me to go on doing wrong? ” “ Yes, ” he says, sharp and decided, “ it ’s exactly the right thing.
hvd.hx526y	Is it — is it? ” “ Yes — C. P. I ’ve waited until now as I knew there would n’t be anybody around.
hvd.hx526y	Is she dead? ” The girl shook her head, swallowing on a throat dried to a leathern stiffness: “ No — no — nothing like that.
hvd.hx526y	Is that what ’s made the change? ” She looked up at him, startled: “ Change — what change? ” “ Change in you.
hvd.hx526y	Is that what ’s made the change? ” She looked up at him, startled: “ Change — what change? ” “ Change in you.
hvd.hx526y	It ’s my mother ’s secretary, Miss Mait- land. ” He looked stolidly unmoved: “ She lives in the house? ” “ Yes, for over a year now.
hvd.hx526y	Just nail that up in your mind and keep your eyes on it. ” “ Back where?
hvd.hx526y	No amateur business about this. ” Suzanne's voice was husky: “ Do you mean it ’s professional people — a gang? ” “ I ca n’t say exactly.
hvd.hx526y	Now these extra holidays of Miss Maitland ’s you ’ve spoken of — how long has that been going on? ” “ Since April.
hvd.hx526y	One look at it, and he was at the man's side, shaking it in his face: “ What do you say to this?
hvd.hx526y	She ’s smart enough to hide them. ” “ Who is she — a detective? ” “ Not a real one, not a professional.
hvd.hx526y	Something might be dug out of you. ” “ But tell me, why should he be curious about Mr. Price?"
hvd.hx526y	Suzanne's answer came from opened lips, dropped apart in a sudden horror: “ What do you mean?
hvd.hx526y	That ’s it, is it?
hvd.hx526y	The detective stretched, yawned with a sleepy sound and said: “ So it ’s still a subject of popular curiosity, is it?"
hvd.hx526y	The old man, stretching his hand to the cigar box at his el- bow, took out a large fat cigar and said: “ Price, eh?
hvd.hx526y	They would n’t dare to hurt her? ” The detective ’s glance was kindly but grave: “ Mrs.
hvd.hx526y	They ’re gone for this year. ” “ Have you been looking for them? ” Bébita asked.
hvd.hx526y	They ’ve got all they wanted out of it and quit. ” “ Abandoned it? ” “ That ’s right — made a neat, quiet getaway.
hvd.hx526y	Was he on the beach? ’ ” “ No, in the woods.
hvd.hx526y	Was she Mrs. Price's secret rival with both men?
hvd.hx526y	Was she a siren 142 Molly's Story playing the two of them?
hvd.hx526y	Was she the kind of vampire heroine they have in plays who can break up a burglar- proof home with one hand tied behind her?
hvd.hx526y	Was there any message?
hvd.hx526y	We have the launch here in tow. ” “ Have you got the man? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hx526y	What I mean is are you willing — realizing what they are — to deal with them on their own terms?
hvd.hx526y	What are they doing? ” A sudden color burnt in her wasted cheeks.
hvd.hx526y	What do you think I am? ” “ You may be a good governess but you're a poor liar.
hvd.hx526y	What do you want to stop for? ”- “ I do n’t — it ’s you.
hvd.hx526y	What do you want? ” “ A ’ lectric torch — one that shines.
hvd.hx526y	What of it? ” “ Oh, lots of it.
hvd.hx526y	What would Fer- guson say to this?
hvd.hx526y	What's on your mind? ” A shaft of moonlight fell through a break in the branches and struck across her shoulder.
hvd.hx526y	What's wrong?
hvd.hx526y	Where have you been? ” “ Over on the bluff, calling on some people.
hvd.hx526y	Why could n’t she have lost the child down here on Gayle Street instead of opposite Justin ’s?
hvd.hx526y	Why could n’t that have been the rendezvous?
hvd.hx526y	Why did you do that? ” For the first time the girl lost her even poise.
hvd.hx526y	Why do n’t you be- lieve me — why ca n’t you believe me?
hvd.hx526y	Why do you think I ’d be a party to such a thing?
hvd.hx526y	Why not let me lend a hand?
hvd.hx526y	Why should she be here? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hx526y	Why was the cigar band gone if he was n’t wise to what it meant?
hvd.hx526y	Will Mr. Price take his lunch upstairs? ” “ No, Madam, ” returned the man quietly, “ Mr.
hvd.hx526y	Will you bring her here? ” It was so like her — so indicative of a mental atti- 298 Miss Maitland Private Secretary to the door.
hvd.hx526y	Will you bring me something when you come back? ” “ Yes, or maybe I'll send it.
hvd.hx526y	With what, with whom? ” “ You.
hvd.hx526y	Would I be here, day after day, if I did n’t? ” He was mollified, dropped back with the crisp, alert manner of the detective.
hvd.hx526y	Would any one, I ’m asking you?
hvd.hx526y	Would you like dinner — the cook says she can have it ready in a minute? ” “ No, ” Ferguson ’s voice was short, “ I dined in town.
hvd.hx526y	Yesterday's — how ’d it get here?
hvd.hx526y	You tapped that'phone message from New York?
hvd.hx526y	You would n’t mind telling us where, would you?
hvd.hx526y	You ’re not saying it to keep me quiet? ” “ Not a bit.
hvd.hx526y	with a feeble attempt at lightness, “ Are you, as the children say, getting any warmer? ” “ We ’re very warm.
hvd.hx526y	“ A motor ride? ” he murmured.
hvd.hx526y	“ A solitary walk? ” he asked and she said yes, her walks were always solitary.
hvd.hx526y	“ Afraid?"
hvd.hx526y	“ Amiss?
hvd.hx526y	“ But what for?
hvd.hx526y	“ But you ’ll not do anything they do n’t want?
hvd.hx526y	“ By preference? ” She turned half away from him and I could see her profile.
hvd.hx526y	“ Bébita — here? ” she stammered.
hvd.hx526y	“ Did you see any one — any one that is n’t a regular resident — come into the house yesterday or to- day? ” It was George ’s question.
hvd.hx526y	“ Do I 245 Miss Maitland Private Secretary understand that you are willing to enter into these negotiations? ” “ Willing! ” she cried.
hvd.hx526y	“ Do you think a girl in love with another man would have embroiled herself with Price the way she has? ” he snapped out.
hvd.hx526y	“ Do you think she ’ll come? ” she asked anxiously.
hvd.hx526y	“ For how long? ” She was used to her father go- ing to town and not reappearing for several days.
hvd.hx526y	“ Gone out of that box you had it in? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hx526y	“ Gone — gone where?
hvd.hx526y	“ Gone? ” The surprise had made George forget- ful.
hvd.hx526y	“ Good heavens! ” he said angrily, “ have you been in there? ” Then, seeing her face, he caught her arm and held her.
hvd.hx526y	“ He made a sort of scene. ” “ What's that? ” growled the old man, looking up quick.
hvd.hx526y	“ How could she be?
hvd.hx526y	“ How could they go?
hvd.hx526y	“ I know exactly the person. ” “ Entirely trustworthy? ” “ Absolutely.
hvd.hx526y	“ If your surmise is right, ” he said, “ where has she put them? ” “ If I? ” echoed the other.
hvd.hx526y	“ If your surmise is right, ” he said, “ where has she put them? ” “ If I? ” echoed the other.
hvd.hx526y	“ Is n’t it?
hvd.hx526y	“ Is n’t she building up theories on the flimsiest kind of foundation? ” The Chief would n’t give him any satisfaction.
hvd.hx526y	“ That ’s what they did and it explains what ’s been puzzling me. ” “ What?
hvd.hx526y	“ Well? ” says Mr. George, curt and sharp.
hvd.hx526y	“ Were all the windows and doors locked last night? ” “ All on the lower floor, Mrs. Price.
hvd.hx526y	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hx526y	“ What do you want? ” I put my head sideways, and tried to take the curse off the smile, changing it to a sort of trembly sweet- neSS.
hvd.hx526y	“ What ’s the matter with you?
hvd.hx526y	“ Where are you going, Popsy? ” she cried and, 10 The Parting of the Ways dodging round the back of the motor, came panting up the steps.
hvd.hx526y	“ Where ’s Miss Maitland? ” she said to him, ostenta- tiously ignoring her mother.
hvd.hx526y	“ Who are you? ” he said, fierce and forbidding.
hvd.hx526y	“ Why should I be here if I was n’t willing? ” “ Yes, yes, exactly, but let us understand one an- other.
hvd.hx526y	“ Why, do n't you know me?
hvd.hx526y	“ You do n’t know what this means to me? ” He gave a little, dry laugh: “ Me too — I ’ll admit it ’s been something of a strain.
hvd.hx526y	“ You ’ll come, wo n’t you? ” Miss Maitland said she would and that it was very kind of Mr. Ferguson to ask her.
hvd.hn1kpe	And simply on the top of that you told your story to the prisoner's advisers? hvd.hn1kpe Christian Science, twaddle? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn1kpe	Do n't you? hvd.hn1kpe Do you imagine, Celia, that either of us is let off?
hvd.hn1kpe	Egerton, you must go to the Empire and see this new dancer. ” “ Good, eh? ” “ My dear feMow, she's perfectly charming. hvd.hn1kpe Er — shall I? ” she answered, shaking with nervousness, to the amusement of all the older hands.
hvd.hn1kpe	Halloa, Adye, how are you? ” said Egerton, shaking him by the hand. hvd.hn1kpe How did you know that? ” And the Attorney- General raised his voice very sharply.
hvd.hn1kpe	I may take it, I suppose, that when your wife suggested your going to Sir Henry Egerton, you had it in your mind to follow the suggestion? ”. hvd.hn1kpe I mean that, speaking for myself, I should notice the difference. ” “ As an expert? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Join me in a glass, Miss Richardson? ” he asked pain- fully. hvd.hn1kpe Mike?
hvd.hn1kpe	Well, can I give him your message? hvd.hn1kpe 'Do you accept it?' hvd.hn1kpe 'E would n't take'is clothes orf to run about the grounds naked, would'e? ”. hvd.hn1kpe 'Would he not, on the other hand, be so experienced as to perceive instantly the nature of that document? hvd.hn1kpe '” “ But is your wife sure they were the police?
hvd.hn1kpe	- Will you tell?
hvd.hn1kpe	-er- could n't it be carried over again to the next account?
hvd.hn1kpe	... 203 204 THE WARE CASE"But what about the Jungfrau? ” interrupted Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	182 THE WARE CASE “ What's the matter, Celia? ” “ Oh- er — nothing."
hvd.hn1kpe	188 THE WARE CASE Şuane sudden?
hvd.hn1kpe	208 THE WARE CASE"Is there anywhere I can write a note? ” he then asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	324 THE WARE CASE “ Is it- is it — over?
hvd.hn1kpe	?
hvd.hn1kpe	A great header, eh?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Adye then called: “ Thomas Bold. ” “ Who?
hvd.hn1kpe	Adye's clerk? ” she asked almost incredulously.
hvd.hn1kpe	Ah, do say that you do, Magda?
hvd.hn1kpe	An extraordinary story, that. ” “ He looks happy enough about it, does n't he?
hvd.hn1kpe	And I dare say to- day with the heat and everything you would n't be so sure of your sight as usual? ” THE WARE CASE 135 left the room.
hvd.hn1kpe	And a feather in your cap, eh, Watkin? ”"Well, Sir Hubert, 1_"And the inspector smiled grimly with a twist of his head.
hvd.hn1kpe	And a stare in the eyes when they gaze at the fire?
hvd.hn1kpe	And had not Lord T. the same tastes?
hvd.hn1kpe	And he's only — how old is he exactly, Magda?"
hvd.hn1kpe	And how many friends of yours were there in the'Duck and Goose'? ” “ Four or five, I'm thinkin', sir. ” “ Possibly six? ” “ Maybe, sir."
hvd.hn1kpe	And how many friends of yours were there in the'Duck and Goose'? ” “ Four or five, I'm thinkin', sir. ” “ Possibly six? ” “ Maybe, sir."
hvd.hn1kpe	And if he did n't, it's a bit rough to hope he'll hang — what? ” “ That's how I'm inclined to regard it, ” replied Adye sar- castically.
hvd.hn1kpe	And if he did, how was he to act?
hvd.hn1kpe	And on the English stage looks are the principal thing, are n't they?
hvd.hn1kpe	And the conclusion you've come to, I may take it, you are prepared to give on oath?"
hvd.hn1kpe	And there will be only one necessary condition. ” “ And that is? ” “ That you do n't exceed it.
hvd.hn1kpe	And this morning and most of to- day I suppose you've rather suffered for it, eh?
hvd.hn1kpe	And you are that one! ” “ What would you do if I did? ” asked Magdalen very quietly.
hvd.hn1kpe	And you were n't in time?
hvd.hn1kpe	And'e bathes alone, do n't'e?
hvd.hn1kpe	Anything on the gth, then?
hvd.hn1kpe	Anything — wrong? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Apart from her grief, she's hor- rified and indignant. ” “ At the charge being made against her husband?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Are n't we ever to be allowed to live like ordinary private individuals?
hvd.hn1kpe	Are you ill? ” inquired Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	Are you sure? ” “ Quite, sir.
hvd.hn1kpe	Are you? ” “ Not so far, but a few days in Paris will see me, I hope.
hvd.hn1kpe	But Felkington's could tell you, no doubt. ” “ Why did you buy it? ” And the K.C.
hvd.hn1kpe	But I did n't know what was going to happen. ” “ How could you have known?
hvd.hn1kpe	But I only sat down on a seat for a minute or two before going round to the croquet. ” “ Can that seat be seen from the croquet lawn?"
hvd.hn1kpe	But I was too sharp for the Attorney- General, eh?
hvd.hn1kpe	But I- I want to do right if — I can. ” “ What are you going to do? ” And he held her hand passionately.
hvd.hn1kpe	But all that's over now. ” “ And I suppose they've let the matter drop? ” “ Oh, must have.
hvd.hn1kpe	But could he be sure of it?
hvd.hn1kpe	But does a single member of the crowd realize the burden of such a trial as this to a judge?
hvd.hn1kpe	But for a hat shop you want capital, do n't you? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	But has Sir Hubert lost as heavily as that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	But hedalen su great kithat?
hvd.hn1kpe	But how can he?"
hvd.hn1kpe	But how quickly had the change been wrought?
hvd.hn1kpe	But it was a remarkable one — was n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	But it's different from that, Celia- I've never told you this before-"“ What, dear? ” THE WARE CASE 27 II.
hvd.hn1kpe	But there's one person we owe it all to. ” “ Who's that? ” “ Paterson.
hvd.hn1kpe	But was it possible for her to succeed?
hvd.hn1kpe	But what were you going to say, Marston? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	But what's a man to do when he's desperate? ” he asked violently.
hvd.hn1kpe	But would she remember her promise to him?
hvd.hn1kpe	But you know what I mean just now?"
hvd.hn1kpe	But you're not going to rush away from us at once, eh? ”"Well, not for a week or two.
hvd.hn1kpe	But, as I said just now, the Director holds a strongish view about poor Eustace. ” “ What?
hvd.hn1kpe	CHAPTER IV 66LOW do you do, Sir Henry? ” said Magdalen cheer- 11 fully, as she extended her hand to Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	CHAPTER V COLTAVE a weed, Egerton?"
hvd.hn1kpe	CHAPTER VII 66 L OW are you, my boy? ” he asked, nearly wringing IT his hand off.
hvd.hn1kpe	Ca n't I try to make arnends for — what's gone before?
hvd.hn1kpe	Ca n't we patch it up pick up the broken pieces? ” She looked at him steadily and said: “ The broken pieces are strewn everywhere.
hvd.hn1kpe	Ca n't we start afresh, Magda, you and I?
hvd.hn1kpe	Ca n't you answer?
hvd.hn1kpe	Ca n't you hear them saying it?
hvd.hn1kpe	Ca n't you see that I'm right?
hvd.hn1kpe	Can I help you in any way?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Can we ever get away from it?
hvd.hn1kpe	Can you disbelieve the evidence?
hvd.hn1kpe	Can you explain that? ”"I was extremely worried that day, though he may not have known it.
hvd.hn1kpe	Could he bring an ac- tion for slander against Adye, and perhaps ruin him when he was practically at the height of his career?
hvd.hn1kpe	Could he face the charge boldly, and deny its truth?
hvd.hn1kpe	Could no thought whatsoever be extended to her?
hvd.hn1kpe	Could she live on and endure the sight of the face in the glass, which had been capable of that?
hvd.hn1kpe	Could they bear to look upon it?
hvd.hn1kpe	Damnation! ” “ But, my dear Adye, ” said Egerton, “ it does n't stand alone, worse luck! ” “ You mean Dr. Winter's examination?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Did he feel it?
hvd.hn1kpe	Did he feel solitary?
hvd.hn1kpe	Did not Hubert spend part of his holidays at Lord T.'s father's country seat — the Marquess of A.?
hvd.hn1kpe	Did you buy the paper on that day?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Did you notice how he hurried off?
hvd.hn1kpe	Did — Eustace do the same — and succeed? ” “ Why think of such a thing? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Did — Eustace do the same — and succeed? ” “ Why think of such a thing? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Directly the door swung to, Egerton beckoned silently to Gurney: “ Where is Sir Hubert? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	Do n't you remember me, sir?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Do n't you, with your record, know as much about police court proceedings as anyone?
hvd.hn1kpe	Do not these qualifications alone create you a persona grata?
hvd.hn1kpe	Do you know she's paid every single one of Sir Hubert's debts?
hvd.hn1kpe	Do you suppose I've escaped gossip?
hvd.hn1kpe	Do you think he's likely to win, Tommy? ” The old man apparently thought that words would not THE WARE CASE 59 sufficiently convey his convictions.
hvd.hn1kpe	Do you think it's sudden?
hvd.hn1kpe	Do you think you can remember everything you did quite distinctly? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Do you understand? ” Michael Adye looked out in front of him fixedly.
hvd.hn1kpe	Does he think it was murder?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Does your ladyship wish them to be arranged on the dinner- table?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Er — how?
hvd.hn1kpe	Even a question was rushing through his brain: “ Are these two people happier together than they have been?
hvd.hn1kpe	Ever heard him?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Every one. ” “ The more we have, the merrier, eh?
hvd.hn1kpe	Forget it, will you?
hvd.hn1kpe	Forget it, will you? ” “ I'd rather not talk of that again.
hvd.hn1kpe	Going south? ” “ No, old man — stuck in town.
hvd.hn1kpe	Going to clear out when I'm broke; what? ” Magdalen never looked more beautiful than at that moment.
hvd.hn1kpe	Had any one a grudge against him?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had any one anything to gain by his death? ” “ Yes, ” said Celia, “ but you fairly shut the gentleman up then.
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he done his best?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he done his utmost to fulfil that splendid duty which he had been appointed to discharge — the duty of seeing that jus- tice is done?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he given due and impartial consideration to the defence as well as to the prosecution?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he given the same prominence to both sides of the case?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he held the scales evenly?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he omitted anything important in the prison- er's favour?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he tried to kill himself?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had he won — and lost?
hvd.hn1kpe	Had n't you better read it through first?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Has the misery they've endured formed an olive branch? ”"Well, I'll go and get these things off, ” said Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	Have you it here at hand? ” “ I have.
hvd.hn1kpe	Have you just finished lunch? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1kpe	Have you seen anything of them? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	He never could be tried again on the same charge, you see. ” “ But why not? ” “ Because it's the law."
hvd.hn1kpe	He speaks of his journey to Hanover, do n't you see?
hvd.hn1kpe	He spoke of his relief at not owing a penny in the world. ” “ How did he make that out? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	He unchained it from the bank- ” “ Can you swear to that? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	He — he ca n't possibly have been far out. ”"A very weak swimmer, was n't he?"
hvd.hn1kpe	He's coming to see me. ” “ Quite a long time since he came, is n't it? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	He's intensely hu- man. ” “ Rather a dear, is n't he? ” rejoined Celia.
hvd.hn1kpe	Help me, will you?
hvd.hn1kpe	Hold your jaw, will you? ” whispered Rate, who at that moment caught sight of Magdalen and Celia as they passed through the hall to the staircase.
hvd.hn1kpe	Horrible, loathsome, perhaps, but nothing fraudu- lent?
hvd.hn1kpe	How are you? ” “ Irritated by my car, which has behaved shabbily.
hvd.hn1kpe	How could he help this man to any appreciable extent?
hvd.hn1kpe	How could he make him keep it?
hvd.hn1kpe	How could ruin and Earl's Court be avoided?
hvd.hn1kpe	How did the judge sum up?"
hvd.hn1kpe	How is she?"
hvd.hn1kpe	How long are we to wait?
hvd.hn1kpe	How long, he wondered, would it last?
hvd.hn1kpe	How long? ” “ I ca n't say.
hvd.hn1kpe	How should he begin?
hvd.hn1kpe	How the devil am I going to get out?"
hvd.hn1kpe	How, then, could he improve it even to some small extent?
hvd.hn1kpe	How?
hvd.hn1kpe	Hubert, has n't it come?
hvd.hn1kpe	I am send- ing her a mixture which I hope will calm her. ” “ I trust there's no cause for anxiety? ” inquired Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	I feel I ought"“ To be doing something better?
hvd.hn1kpe	I have an ap- pointment with Michael Adye. ” “ Oh, really? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1kpe	I have known you a long time now, Magdalen- five years, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	I meant to ride to the finish. ” “ When you came out of prison last month how did you first hear of this charge against the prisoner?"
hvd.hn1kpe	I remember the name of the place, too, sir — Hanover. ” “ And you posted it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	I said so all along, did n't I?
hvd.hn1kpe	I say, Marston,"he added, turning himself round, “ am I filthy?"
hvd.hn1kpe	I see clear enough, though-_ ” “ Though what? ” was the quick question from the K.C., who was quite unable to suppress it.
hvd.hn1kpe	I was goin'in tother direction. ” “ Then'ow do yer know'e went into it at all? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	I was worrying it out last night. ” “ What's that? ” asked Bodsell eagerly.
hvd.hn1kpe	I — for- give me?"
hvd.hn1kpe	I'm certain. ”.“Why? ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1kpe	I'm certain. ”.“Why? ” “ Why?"
hvd.hn1kpe	I'm just an ordinary moral coward. ” “ Since when, I should like to know? ” protested the little champion strongly.
hvd.hn1kpe	I'm raising it as a defence, do n't you see?
hvd.hn1kpe	I've got my back against the wall, see?
hvd.hn1kpe	I- I saw him — just put his hand — against his —"His forehead, Bold? ” was the keen question.
hvd.hn1kpe	I- I'm certain of it. ” She waited anxiously while her husband spoke into the instrument: “ Halloa?
hvd.hn1kpe	I?
hvd.hn1kpe	If I win I shall be bucked up. ” “ Celia, what's the best way for me to meet all this, I wonder?"
hvd.hn1kpe	If — if either of you- see — Tommy Bold — in the meantime — will you- thank him for me? ” “ I'll do so certainly, ” said Bodsell.
hvd.hn1kpe	In a more of him? » over the side.
hvd.hn1kpe	In fact, I know they do n't. ” “ How?"
hvd.hn1kpe	In fact, I've tried to err in the other direction. ” “ And- the capital?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Inspector Watkin turned to Ware: “ Perhaps the young gentleman took the punt himself and bathed from it, Sir'Ubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Interminable game, do n't you think so, Adye?
hvd.hn1kpe	Is it not beyond suspicion?
hvd.hn1kpe	Is it surprising that she had tried to die?
hvd.hn1kpe	Is n't he coming?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Is n't she fine? ” “ That's just like her, the darling."
hvd.hn1kpe	Is n't that a natural ambition at the age of twenty- five? ” Just then Gurney hurried back to them excitedly with the guide.
hvd.hn1kpe	Is ours so very different?
hvd.hn1kpe	Is that right?
hvd.hn1kpe	Is the design of the monogram the same as that on the ring you lost? ” “ Oh, exactly.
hvd.hn1kpe	Is there a single good woman in the world who would not?
hvd.hn1kpe	It must be. ”"But the cause of the loss, the humiliating cause of it,'what of that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	It seems so small. ”"And the promised future payments of all his debts — was that an entirely voluntary action on your part? ” “ Entirely.
hvd.hn1kpe	It was a quest unlike any that they had taken part in before, and in spite of the nearness of it all to Ware and Gurney, and — shall we say?
hvd.hn1kpe	It would have to be an over- whelming one to beat your husband's. ” “ But, Michael, how long will it last?
hvd.hn1kpe	It would n't be a big book. ” “ But what use could it be, sir, if we found it? ” “ That I do n't know,"answered Watkin.
hvd.hn1kpe	It's not I who am responsible for it — but my husband. ” “ How do you mean? ” he asked steadily.
hvd.hn1kpe	Its title is some long rigmarole like that. ” “ But is it wise, Magdalen?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Joking apart, though, ” continued Gurney, “ I've regis- tered an oath never to make another bet. ” “ Oh, have you?
hvd.hn1kpe	Marston, explain that to Rate, will you? ” Gurney acquiesced.
hvd.hn1kpe	May I telephone to him at once?
hvd.hn1kpe	Mr. Gurney said so, sir. ” “ And were they placed in the official letter- box? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hn1kpe	Must I go into all the rest?
hvd.hn1kpe	No one must think of me! ” “ The jury have n't returned?
hvd.hn1kpe	No one was about. ” “ Your wife did n't know you went to bathe? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1kpe	No peace for the moderately good, eh, Magdalen?
hvd.hn1kpe	Not from him, was it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Now, what about September? ” And he turned over the leaves as fast as he could.
hvd.hn1kpe	Oh, Magda, what is this trouble now compared with that?
hvd.hn1kpe	Oh- oh, Marston, forgive me, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1kpe	Once in the tumbrel, you've got to face the music, eh? ” “ But I'm awfully sorry,"said Gurney warmly, as he grasped the other's hand.
hvd.hn1kpe	One thought"that young secretary, Marston Gurney, who apparently had no great liking for the dead boy- did n't you think?
hvd.hn1kpe	Or was he about to pronounce that awful doom of death, the passing of which invariably shook him grievously?
hvd.hn1kpe	Or what was he thinking?
hvd.hn1kpe	Or would she be strong enough to support the burden she had to carry?
hvd.hn1kpe	Out of sight out of —?'
hvd.hn1kpe	Picture his vocabulary; eh? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Poor Eustace! ” She paused for a moment, and on noticing his very grave expression, said suddenly: “ How do you read it, Hubert? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Put some coal on, like an angel, will you? ” Adye went to the grate.
hvd.hn1kpe	Scale? ” “ Yes,"she whispered.
hvd.hn1kpe	See him?
hvd.hn1kpe	See?
hvd.hn1kpe	See?
hvd.hn1kpe	See?
hvd.hn1kpe	Seen anything like'French Crimes'on your side?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Shall I open it, Sir'Ubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Shall I tell them to bring him here? ” Ware looked rather helplessly at Adye as if to ask for advice.
hvd.hn1kpe	Shall you be in in half an hour's time if I drop in to see you?
hvd.hn1kpe	She did n't men- tion that to you? ” “ Not a word, ” replied the K.C.
hvd.hn1kpe	She then turned to him and asked fearfully: “ How long will it take, Michael?
hvd.hn1kpe	She's lying down in her room. ” “ Does she know they've found-?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Silly of me, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	So I wheels my barrow back, Sir'Ubert, from the east lawn till I reaches the pathway to the west again. ” “ Where you had first seen Mr. Eustace?
hvd.hn1kpe	So that it would be erroneous to describe them as identical?
hvd.hn1kpe	Somebody's Reminiscences?
hvd.hn1kpe	Suppose you found some fresh evidence? ”"It would be worthless, my dear lady.
hvd.hn1kpe	THE WARE CASE 307 “ May I sit down, my lord? ” he asked in a terribly weak voice.
hvd.hn1kpe	THE WARE CASE “ Different?
hvd.hn1kpe	Tell me, Michael, what can Hubert do?
hvd.hn1kpe	Tell me, wo n't you? ” “ Nothing that's new, Celia.
hvd.hn1kpe	That was in Sir Hubert's writing, sir. ” “ In Sir Hubert's writing?
hvd.hn1kpe	The 90 THE WARE CASE world was dead, and what did it matter?
hvd.hn1kpe	The last one there was topping. ” “ Give me the paper, will you, dear? ” answered Magda- len.
hvd.hn1kpe	The moment they join the detective force they ought to be inoculated. ” “ Inoculated? ” said Egerton perplexedly.
hvd.hn1kpe	The recollection?
hvd.hn1kpe	The same as the surgeon, I take it?
hvd.hn1kpe	Them weeds take time, Sir'Ubert. ” “ Well? ” “ Well, when I reaches the shed with my weeds —"“ Yes, never mind the weeds now.
hvd.hn1kpe	There he goes, see?
hvd.hn1kpe	There's a bit of the laudator temporis acti about me, I'm afraid. ” “ What's that? ” inquired Celia laughingly.
hvd.hn1kpe	There's only one explanation that I can think of. ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	There, however, she had to leave them, Sir Hu- bert, and they remained some time alone. ” “ In the library? ” asked Ware perplexedly.
hvd.hn1kpe	These horrible suggestions must remain confidential if there's nothing substantial behind them, do n't you think?"
hvd.hn1kpe	They comes up year after year just like my lilies, they does. ” “ And the fourth man? ” asked Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	They do say that somewhere, do n't they? ” “ That is your choice then? ” asked Magdalen, biting her lip.
hvd.hn1kpe	They do say that somewhere, do n't they? ” “ That is your choice then? ” asked Magdalen, biting her lip.
hvd.hn1kpe	They have my pattern at Felkington's. ” “ Was it shortly after your return to London from Wil- bury that you bought it? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1kpe	Think of it! ” “ All will be well, though. ” “ You're not saying that merely to prop me up?
hvd.hn1kpe	Thirty- seven. ” THE WARE CASE 37 “ Marvellous, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	This is what they heard for their pains: “ How are you, Michael?
hvd.hn1kpe	To be truthful, sir, I did n't think much about it. ” “ And after that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Try to understand me, wo n't you?
hvd.hn1kpe	Understand? ” was Inspector Watkin's noisy command.
hvd.hn1kpe	Ware, tell me, is this man Paterson fairly reliable? ” “ Good enough chap, I fancy.
hvd.hn1kpe	Was he going brazenly to blast her life, to drag her down roughly from the high pedestal she occupied, to make her laughed at, pointed at, mocked?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was he going to be able to set that man free of this charge for ever?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was he meditating that this was to be the last dinner he would share with his wife?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was it cow- ardly?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was not Lord T. Hubert's most intimate schoolfellow?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was she going to deal that one blow to end them irrevocably?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was she going to speak THE WARE CASE 87 one dangerous word to imperil them?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was she not concerned?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was she, in her turn, the woman to blind herself to his career and to his fine position?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was that going to happen?
hvd.hn1kpe	Was this man unable to face the ruin?
hvd.hn1kpe	What about the roth?
hvd.hn1kpe	What are we to wait for? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	What can I do?
hvd.hn1kpe	What comfort in the world could there be for any one in a like position?
hvd.hn1kpe	What could be engineered to mitigate the struggle?
hvd.hn1kpe	What did he mean by it?
hvd.hn1kpe	What did it matter to me at such a time whether I went or whether I stayed?
hvd.hn1kpe	What did it sit for?
hvd.hn1kpe	What did somebody say about an “ ill wind"?
hvd.hn1kpe	What do you think of that?
hvd.hn1kpe	What does it say now?
hvd.hn1kpe	What does it say?"
hvd.hn1kpe	What does the poor devil on trial for his life think of them?
hvd.hn1kpe	What exactly has got to occur? ” Adye hesitated.
hvd.hn1kpe	What followed?
hvd.hn1kpe	What had hap- pened?
hvd.hn1kpe	What had she seen upon the hill?
hvd.hn1kpe	What has not?
hvd.hn1kpe	What have I said?
hvd.hn1kpe	What is it? ” And she hurried anxiously to the girl's side, who, seeing that there was no escape from it, told the truth.
hvd.hn1kpe	What man alive would n't?
hvd.hn1kpe	What more do you want to make you popular?
hvd.hn1kpe	What must this man's suffering have been to look upon such tears?
hvd.hn1kpe	What name? ” asked the Attorney- General, who, in the hubbub had failed to hear it.
hvd.hn1kpe	What sort of figure are you going to cut?.
hvd.hn1kpe	What tale of suffering would the face reveal?
hvd.hn1kpe	What view does Sir Henry take him- self?"
hvd.hn1kpe	What was every one do- ing? ” she cried violently, as the power over words returned to her.
hvd.hn1kpe	What was he about?
hvd.hn1kpe	What was his duty to be?
hvd.hn1kpe	What was the future going to bring her?
hvd.hn1kpe	What was the future to be?
hvd.hn1kpe	What was the meaning of its existence?
hvd.hn1kpe	What's that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	What's the time? ” “ Twenty past ten."
hvd.hn1kpe	What's up?"
hvd.hn1kpe	What, then, was he to do?
hvd.hn1kpe	What? ” said Adye, as he sat in a chair some distance off.
hvd.hn1kpe	What? ” “ Never to undertake any financial transaction before con- sulting me, no matter what it may be.
hvd.hn1kpe	When do you begin?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Where has he gone? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ I scarcely think he was in a condition to be left. ” She closed her eyes in pain.
hvd.hn1kpe	Where has he gone? ” “ I — I'm afraid to think.
hvd.hn1kpe	Where have you been? ” “ Up in my room, Celia, ” was the calm reply.
hvd.hn1kpe	Where's the volume?
hvd.hn1kpe	Which do you choose?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Which was it? ” Adye seized the difficulty at once.
hvd.hn1kpe	Who is it speaking?
hvd.hn1kpe	Who would have thought it after seeing him in his robes in court only last summer addressing the jury upon the moral decrepitude of a co- respondent?
hvd.hn1kpe	Who's afraid?
hvd.hn1kpe	Who?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Why ca n't they spare us?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why could n't he let her go?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why did n't you tell me before? ” “ Oh, I do n't know,"Magdalen replied quietly, with a shrug of her shoulders.
hvd.hn1kpe	Why did she not rebel?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why did she not shrink from the consequence?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why does n't He give us the pluck to end it?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why does n't He?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why does n't he, now?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why introduce extraneous matters? ” “ Extraneous!
hvd.hn1kpe	Why not? ” “ I ca n't.
hvd.hn1kpe	Why should he write it at all? ” Celia took the letter in her hand, and tried her utmost to disabuse Magdalen's mind of this notion.
hvd.hn1kpe	Why should it be borne by those who do n't contribute one stone to the burden?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why should they even leave the jury- box? ” “ Oh, they always do, dear, in a murder case, Marston told me."
hvd.hn1kpe	Why, even old Wrench this morning — he could n't raise a smile. ” “ Mr. Justice Wrench? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Why, in heaven's name, ca n't they let it rest?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why, then, did she not cry out?
hvd.hn1kpe	Why? ” “ Will anyone be left in care of the house that I know, Sir Hubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Why? ” “ Will anyone be left in care of the house that I know, Sir Hubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Will you? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	Winter, ” he said, “ would you at the inquest feel it incumbent upon you to enter into these details you have described to us?"
hvd.hn1kpe	With my work I ca n't get on without it. ” “ Well, let's sit outside and cool down, eh? ” remarked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	With the towel round'is neck it was as plain as plain can be, Sir'Ubert. ” “ And then? ” inquired Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	Would Adye take advantage of his knowledge and expose him?
hvd.hn1kpe	Would a shrewd man like Adye be likely to have blundered so egregiously?
hvd.hn1kpe	Would he, could he, take advantage of her present unhappiness, and try to make her — commonplace?
hvd.hn1kpe	Would his summing up lead them to the pronouncement of a just verdict?
hvd.hn1kpe	Would she be called very inhuman if upon that occasion she did her hair and chose her gown with a little more care than usual?
hvd.hn1kpe	You can do me a trifling service if you will. ” “ Only a trifling one? ” he answered disappointedly.
hvd.hn1kpe	You think so really?
hvd.hn1kpe	You understand?"
hvd.hn1kpe	You'd hang most people if you had your way, Bragson- politicians into the bargain, eh? ” And the solicitor laughed heartily.
hvd.hn1kpe	You've known me off and on for a longish time, and you'd never have thought this of me, would you?
hvd.hn1kpe	he asked. ” THE WARE CASE 323 ing for sensation?
hvd.hn1kpe	he asked: “ Finally?"
hvd.hn1kpe	on the croquet lawn, that it was as much? ” “ I think it was, ” replied Egerton gravely.
hvd.hn1kpe	serious, dear?"
hvd.hn1kpe	Çelia became hysterical and could barely speak, o ou_shall I? ” sheall the older haisted Gurney: 92 THE WARE CASE “ N- n- n- o! ” she cried.
hvd.hn1kpe	– Turnford? ” “ Yes, that's the chap,"snapped out Gurney.
hvd.hn1kpe	— Is anyone there?
hvd.hn1kpe	— Not possible?
hvd.hn1kpe	— Suppose they ca n't agree? ” No one answered.
hvd.hn1kpe	— Will you tell? ” But she merely shook her head.
hvd.hn1kpe	— Yes, yes, what number do you want?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ A good one, eh?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ A message from Mr. Adye? ” asked Celia casually.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ A note? ” “ No doubt asking some question, ” explained Adye gently.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ A promise?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ About what time did you get up?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Afraid?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Again? ” asked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Ah, do you think it will? ” And she clung to his hand helplessly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Ah, you understand, do n't you? ” continued Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Am I the cause of it — the cause of his death?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Am I- er — in the way?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And I do n't think it really occurred to you, Mike. ” “ Well, then, ” Ware went on, “ if we eliminate that mo- tive, what is there?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And I remember as he did so he lost his — balance, and- and slipped —"“ Slipped badly, do you mean? ” asked Adye eagerly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And I suppose, as usual, made a general mess of things and discovered nothing? ” “ The wife swears to'is reticence, Sir Hubert.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And a few yards out? ” “ It be eight or ten foot deep very quick, Sir ’ Enery. ” “ What's the bottom like? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And a few yards out? ” “ It be eight or ten foot deep very quick, Sir ’ Enery. ” “ What's the bottom like? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And a word in the boy's favour when he's going to a family there does n't take much out of you, does it? ” Gurney returned the ring to him.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And are you going to? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And did yer fasten'er up afterwards, sir? ” asked Durn- well.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And join the rest of my friends in cutting me? ” “ That's not very kind of you."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And one to the father, eh? ” asked Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And she has n't spoken of it? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And that generally means they agree soon afterwards, does n't it, Adye? ” asked Gurney quickly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And the — amount of the income, Magdalen?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And them'is clothes, Sir'Ubert? ” continued the gar- dener, pointing to the grey suit.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And then he got into the punt and shoved it off with the pole —"“ Well?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And then you went to the station and back to London?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And then, perhaps, ” pursued Adye in his cross- examina- tion, “ there were some friends of yours in the'Duck and Goose'?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And they very properly drank your health, did n't they?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And to keep Wilbury? ” “ No, no,"was the downright answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And was he alone? ” “ Quite, sir! ” “ You're sure? ” “ Positive."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And was he alone? ” “ Quite, sir! ” “ You're sure? ” “ Positive."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And was your brother- in- law to start for Hanover in accordance with that letter on the following Monday?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And what deduction do you draw from that, Elizabeth? ” asked a pater- familias through his teeth.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And what did he say? ” asked Celia, hiding her feeling of anxiety.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And you heard no cry? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And you reached it? ” said Adye tersely.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And you, Sir Hubert?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And you, then,"continued Egerton, “ are the only re- maining hand who could have unchained that punt after Mr. Gurney had fastened it up?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ And — and then? ” he queried feebly."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Any parliamentary news?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Anything wrong? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Are they just going to begin, Marston? ” inquired a hushed voice of Gurney.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Are we to be denied all privacy by these people? ” “ But what object could Inspector Watkin have in going into the house? ” asked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Are we to be denied all privacy by these people? ” “ But what object could Inspector Watkin have in going into the house? ” asked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Are you going back to town to- day? ” asked Gurney at length.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Are you prepared to swear that it was as much? ” “ I am."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Are you there? ” he inquired quietly through the tele- phone again.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ As a guest here I could n't be guilty of grosser taste, and I feel a — You have no party to- night, of course? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ At six. ” “ Early as that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Be the excuse ever so mighty?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Been playing golf, eh? ” said Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Before any servants were down? ” “ Yes, they're not over good at getting up, I'm afraid."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Before your departure for Switzerland, when you left your husband in England, had you spoken on the subject to him?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Bragsons are your ordinary solicitors, are n't they? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But I wish I had n't to go to Scotland Yard to- night. ” “ Must you? ” asked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But are n't you rather staggered by it — surprised? ” “ I'm afraid not.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But are you sure? ” “ Yes, I am sure."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But did you see no more of him?".
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But do n't you see, Magdalen, his reason for writing it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But had you any feeling of discomfort at the time in bathing in that particular spot? ” “ I- I do n't know.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But have you very much on? ” Celia asked anxiously.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But how, dear?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But possibly after this experience you will leave it severely alone? ” “ I shall indeed."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But the recollection of it, Adye?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But these marks, ” said Adye, rather scornfully;"might not the hooks be responsible for them? ” “ I'm afraid not,"was the doctor's answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But what have the Crown got hold of, I wonder? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But what necessity could arise? ” asked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But what —? ”"Oh, you have nothing to fear as regards money.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But where have you dropped from? ” asked Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But where shall we live, I wonder? ” “ Oh, a flat somewhere, I suppose.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But why be in such a hurry, Magdalen? ” asked Ware, completely disguising a deep anxiety which lay hidden be- hind his words.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But why do you insist upon it so? ” “ Oh, nothing,"he replied casually.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But why? ” “ Well, I felt restless, as I feel now, about myself.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But why?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But you do n't consider him so abnormal as to be able to commit murder? ” “ No,"she answered loudly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But you understand, do n't you? ” continued Magdalen, with a sure look at the young man.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But, Magdalen, ” continued Ware quietly, “ after he died you — ” “ Remained on?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But, gentlemen,"he said frigidly, “ have not the prose- cution proved the guilt of this prisoner at the bar?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ But, in the name of heaven, what evidence could there be? ”"I wish I could think.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ By your brother's death you were the sole person to benefit, were you not?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Ca n't I help you? ” he cried, with a passionate ring in his voice.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Can I come in?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Can I speak to you a moment, Sir Hubert? ” he asked in a serious whisper.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Capital, ” said Egerton;"you got thirty- three to one, you told me? ” Gurney nodded with a smile, and lit a cigarette.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Could you come indoors a moment, Sir Hubert? ” he whispered to him.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Could you have recognized Sir Hubert if he'd been there? ” “ Why, of course I could, sir.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Crime? ” said Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Desperate again, Marston? ” she said mischievously, as she came to the fire.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did Eustace bathe with you, Marston?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did I under- stand you to say you were not fond of him? ” “ Yes, my lord.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did he? ” “ Yes, and I admired his frankness.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did it then?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did the letter go? ”"I ca n't say.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did you bathe upon any other mornings about that time?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did you leave everything in the shed as you found it? ” asked Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did you plead guilty to either of the charges? ” “ No. ” “ You said they were false up till the end? ” “ Yes, sir, I did.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did you plead guilty to either of the charges? ” “ No. ” “ You said they were false up till the end? ” “ Yes, sir, I did.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did you see Mr. Eustace in the water, then? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Did you value the ring?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Disappointed? ” and Magdalen put the question in a still lower tone.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do I understand you want to make some statement? ” asked Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do n't say you've been taking the waters? ” she laughed out.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do n't you think it monstrous?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do you hear me?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do you know him, Mike?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do you mean by that that others might not agree with you? ” “ No, sir, I do n't mean that. ” “ What do you mean, then?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do you mean by that that others might not agree with you? ” “ No, sir, I do n't mean that. ” “ What do you mean, then?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Do you think the bookie did it, Bod- sell? ”"No,"laughed out the other heartily.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Does he appear to be sane or —?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Does it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Does n't it strike you as being a very extraordinary thing to be able to do? ” “ It — it does now."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Does n't this letter suggest it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Eight, then?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Er — Ware, how many other gardeners have you?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Er — how does my wife seem, Marston? ” “ Ever so much better.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Er- did you miss it at once? ” “ Almost."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Even then, though- even then I decided to stay with 190 THE WARE CASE “ You mean?".
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Evidently, sir,"roared out the inspector, “ if Paterson is correct. ” “ Could Paterson distinguish the man at all? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Faithfully? ” persisted Celia brightly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Finished your tennis, Eustace?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ For how long had you had that in your possession? ” “ Oh, a few weeks. ” “ Was it a present, or did you buy it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ For how long had you had that in your possession? ” “ Oh, a few weeks. ” “ Was it a present, or did you buy it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Four in the morning?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Give me back his letter, will you? ” whispered Magdalen in a trembling voice.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Going to bathe, eh?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Got anything on ‘ Aeroplane'to- day, Sir Hubert? ” he inquired slyly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had Eustace any enemies?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had a good game?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had he had a baby too?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had n't I better explain?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had you always been in the habit of wearing it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had you ever seen him before?".
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had you heard it already? ” “ No."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Had your bathe yet? ” he inquired of Eustace, being certain of a negative answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Have n't I heard them in other cases?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Have we got to go through all that horrible business?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Have you had — food, Hubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Have you witnessed my signature, Mike? ” “ Yes, it's all done, ” was Adye's bold answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ He came back in a minute or two to the bank, and got out of the punt. ” “ Did he chain it up again?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ He was. ” “ Did you ever during his life bear that boy any ill- will? ” “ Never."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ He's got a pile on it. ” “ And how much have you on? ” inquired Celia, running to him.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Heavily? ” enquired Adye through his laughter.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Her ladyship and Sir Hubert are at dinner, you say?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How are you, Dr. Winter? ” said Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How can I help you, Tommy? ” he asked gently.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How can I? ” “ I was only wondering — ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How did I know it? ” “ That was my question. ” “ Why, sir, from — from the paragraph I've told you of."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How did you know? ” asked Celia.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How do you account for it? ” he asked slowly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How do you mean, Magdalen? ”"Why, upon that awful day Hubert was with you and me in the library until he joined the others on the croquet lawn."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How do you mean? ” he asked almost inaudibly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How does your wife say Lady Ware is? ” Adye in- quired.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How is Lady Ware? ” “ I have n't seen her.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How lucky it was he came, eh? ” “ Mike always brings good luck,"agreed Magdalen as she sat upon the settee.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How much more of this? ” groaned Ware.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ How soon were you back? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Hubert Ware,"rang out the voice of Adye, as the intro- duction to his first question, “ did you kill your brother- in- law, Eustace Ede?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Hullo, my dear Marston, how are you? ” and he shook his hand warmly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I be the only one what sees'i m, ai n't I?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I bought it. ” “ Where? ” “ At Felkington's in Cockspur Street."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I had not. ” “ And he never asked you then to help him?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I liked it. ” 300 THE WARE CASE “ Yes. ” “ Equally worried?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I mean, what was his intention? ” Ware did not reply for a second or two.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I mean,"Adye continued, “ if both of you will allow me to say so, is it wise at this particular moment — in the present circumstances?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I say, Magdalen, what's it got to do with you?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I say, Sir Henry, do you advise my wife to put a bit on · Aeroplane'? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I shall start for London on Monday then. ” “ So soon? ” “ Yes, we've had the best of the weather.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I think you wish me to repeat the last question? ” said the Attorney- General most politely.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I'm glad. ” “ But what the devil's the matter?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I'm so glad. ” “ Yes, is n't it? ” replied Celia.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I- I know what you mean —! ” “ Do you?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ I?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ If anything could surprise me, that might, Adye. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked the K.C., regarding him fixedly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ In six months you'll be of age and heir to- to your father's fortune, you lucky devil. ” “ Lucky, is it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ In spite of the bookie's story? ” “ Of course there's that, and so far he tells it all right.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is Sir Hubert in the garden, Celia?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is it wise? ” And Adye repeated the question gravely.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is n't a sister generally about the only person who does tell her brother what she thinks of him? ” she asked quietly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is n't he amazing? ” she said.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is n't there that already about 164 THE WARE CASE Eustace?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is that Inspector Watkin? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is that Mr. Bragson speaking?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is that his towel? ” he then asked of Durnwell.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is that the young gentleman's watch? ” inquired the in- spector, pointing to the table."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is that true?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is the man there?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is there any way out? ”"I ca n't see it yet.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is there much risk in this new thing I'm going to put the money into?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is this transfer your own wish? ” “ Well, Hubert advised me. ” “ Still I may have been wrong,"interrupted Ware rapidly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is this where he went in, sir?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Is — is it over? ” asked Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ It ai n't fas- tened! ” “ Well, why should it be? ” “ Becos it be my business to see that all them boats is.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ It comes to this, does n't it, Sir Henry? ” she continued; “ a man can appeal against a conviction, but- oh, dear!
hvd.hn1kpe	“ It only has one awful side to it. ” Magdalen came to her and asked: “ What's that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ It's a set look in the mouth, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ It's — it's — it's — won! ” “ Won? ” shrieked Gurney.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ It's-er- not what your wife imagines it to be. ” “ Is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Just excuse me for a moment, will you? ” he said.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Justly convicted?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Know who he is? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Look here, stop that tone of yours, will you? ” yelled Eustace.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Magda, are you going to divorce Sir Hubert? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Magdalen, why this sudden decision? ” The question was put regretfully.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Magdalen, ” he said solemnly, “ what has taken place be- tween you and him? ” “ N- n- nothing."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ May I ask the nature of the — document? ” “ Why, of course,"replied Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ May I take it that it was not an unpleasant bathe?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ May we come in? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Might it have been longer than a minute or two?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Might it have been ten? ” “ Well- er — ” “ Might it have been fifteen?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Might it have been ten? ” “ Well- er — ” “ Might it have been fifteen?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Might it then have been five minutes? ” “ Oh, perhaps it might.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Must you go, Egerton? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ My brother's chambers. ” “ Where Marston is going? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Never in my life. ” “ And then?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ No more ‘ Aeroplanes,'I hope? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ No one but Adye and Egerton coming, is there? ” “ That's all,"answered Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ No, I ca n't say that I was. ” “ What's that? ” asked the judge quickly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ No, Sir'Ubert, that's what I does n't see, Sir'Ubert. ” “ Did you hear him cry out for help? ” inquired Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Nor anyone — nor anyone in the world?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Not a bad'un that, eh, Marston? ” said Ware, with a chuckle, giving Egerton an untakeable service.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Nothing?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Now then, Magda, promise me something, will you? ” “ What?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Now then, Magda, promise me something, will you? ” “ What?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Now, Marston, how much had you on?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Now, it's your turn, is n't it? ” she said to him with a laugh.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Now, what does he mean by a good one? ” inquired Egerton laughingly of Magdalen, who shook her head with a smile.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Of course the magistrate could dismiss the case, could n't he? ” asked Magdalen hopefully.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Of course. ” “ Oh, I wish now I had n't said to him what I did just before you came. ” “ What was that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, going to leave me, eh?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, have they?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, how can she be?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, on some new charge altogether, you mean? ” Egerton queried casually.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, the debate on the Navy Estimates. ” “ Interesting?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, why did n't you come to me? ” asked Celia, as she laid her hand tenderly on her arm.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, why not? ” said Ware with a forced laugh.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, yes, an invariable rule. ” “ But suppose you're Attorney- General in the next Gover- ment and are knighted?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Oh, yes. ” “ Then could you possibly put it to him?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ On the evidence, yes. ” “ Yet another of our undiscovered crimes, eh? ” “ Ha!
hvd.hn1kpe	“ On the face of it, then, ” he said, “ is n't this a time when, if we both did our best, we might help each other?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Or nine? ” “ Oh, no, sir, there be no nine. ” And the gardener was most emphatic.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Pump Court?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Rate — Rate called me out just now to tell me, and-"“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ See that man over there by the last window? ” said a struggling young barrister to a new Iramatic author who had lately been elected.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ See that? ” he asked, holding it out weakly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Serious as that?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Shall I answer it, dear? ” asked Celia anxiously.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Shall I see you when I come back from my bathe, Mr. Adye? ”"I hope so.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ She's paid them all? ” There was admiration in Gur- ney's voice.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Since I left you both in this room a few minutes ago? ” “ Nothing, nothing, I tell you."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ So I entered it in my book- diary. ” “ Your what? ” “ My book- diary.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ So far all right, eh? ” “ How good you are! ” and she laid a hand upon his arm and burst into tears.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Something good has occurred to you, Michael? ” asked Magdalen excitedly."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Start- afresh? ” he muttered.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Still, darling, they may come to a right conclusion--"“ But why have n't they ages ago?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Still, here robbery is out of the question- is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Suppose you lose? ” 30 THE WARE CASE"Well, I shall be let down, that's all.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Sure? ” “ Quite."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ That be Mr. Eustace's, ai n't it, Sir'Ubert? ” said Durn- well.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ That woman coming back? ” asked Watkin.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ That's a much loft- ier plane to put it on, is n't it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ That's as far as you will go, is it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ That's five all, Ware. ” “ Long game or sudden death? ” asked Ware gaily, as he sent the balls over to Egerton.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ That's our etiquette at the Bar, no matter how great the disparity of age. ” THE WARE CASE 205 “ Is that so?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ The Leger, eh? ” observed Adye to Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ The dividend is paid, I believe, in January, is n't it? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ The dividend will be larger, wo n't it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ The judge has finished his summing up, and the jury are out. ” “ When- when did he finish? ” “ At a quarter past nine, my lady."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ The judge sent back his reply from his private room. ” “ How do you know? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then nothing else about it strikes you? ” she asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then some one did unchain that punt after Mr. Gurney had fastened it? ” said Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then what shall you do, dear? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then why did n't you take the nearest way?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then you think there's a hope — a real hope? ” “ There's — always a hope. ” An extraordinary change then came to Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then you wo n't, will you?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Then you've — you've won —?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ There'll be a hinquest, wo n't there, Mr. Rate? ” asked one of the kitchen- maids excitedly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ They've run a railway up that, have n't they? ” “ Yes, that's true, the vandals, ” Adye replied.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ They've-- they've done it, the fools. ” “ What?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ This — this awful suffering of his is his — atonement for all that is past. ” “ All that is- past? ” “ Yes, for all.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Those the things he'd been wearing?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Three days after the catastrophe- early in the morning- I went down to the lake to bathe. ” “ From the same spot? ” And the K.C.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ To the bookie?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ To- day's Thursday, is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Two- thirty. ”"We'll lunch at the club, then, and go on together. ” “ You'll see him with me?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Understand?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Unlock the door, Celia, dear, will you? ” The girl did so, and Ware walked in slowly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Upstairs Lady Ware would be rather close to it all, would n't she?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Very well then; had you charge of any letters for the post?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Was I right then? ” continued Adye, close to him.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Was it made for you, or did you find it in the shop? ”"Found it in the shop.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Was that all it said?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, Hubert thought — what did you think, Hubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, I'm — ” “ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, after this I should think he's fairly cured, eh? ” replied the Director.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, and has n't she got it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, can I come back?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, father, I've got my own idea. ” “ Oh, you have, have you?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, it will appear in my book as something different, wo n't it? ” “ How do you mean? ” asked Adye, with a face like a mask.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, it will appear in my book as something different, wo n't it? ” “ How do you mean? ” asked Adye, with a face like a mask.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, it's curious — is n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, one more or less — what does it matter? ” “ By Jove!
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, putting prejudice aside, you do n't believe he did it, eh? ” “ Not for a moment, ” was the other's emphatic answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, sir, he went into the boathouse. ” “ Alone? ” “ Quite alone.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, the thing was changed, was n't it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, then, do you mind getting on to him at his flat, and asking him if he can run round to see me at Carlos Place in er — twenty minutes'time?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well, you ’ ave deserted us, Mrs. Rate, but better late than never, eh? ” said Watkin with the noisiest yawn that ever was yawned.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well- er""Might it have been three minutes? ” “ Of course, as I say, I was frightfully worried, and I was trying to think what I could do."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Well? ” The young man hesitated and screwed up his courage to answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Were you fond of him?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What about? ” “ Do n't know.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What are you going to do, Adye? ” he whispered fear- fully. “ What are you going to do? ”"I do n't know,"was the slow reply.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What are you going to do, Adye? ” he whispered fear- fully. “ What are you going to do? ”"I do n't know,"was the slow reply.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What are you going to do? ” he cried fearfully, but she remained still. “ Answer me, will you?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What are you going to do? ” he cried fearfully, but she remained still. “ Answer me, will you?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What are you made of, I wonder?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What can I do?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What could I do to revive it? ” he cried.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What did I say, father?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What did you do then? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What do you mean? ” he asked, and he came to her side.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What do you propose doing? ” asked Magdalen steadily.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What do you think of the Wilbury case, Jack? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What else had it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What for?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What has passed between you two?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What is it now?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What is it now? ” asked Ware wearily.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What is it, Magda? ” “ Nothing — nothing."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What is it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What is the rumour?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What shall you say?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What then?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What time, Bodsell, are you due at the prison to see Ware? ” asked Adye rapidly, as he pulled out his watch.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What was it, then? ” “ A sort of paragraph just referring to the case, and saying that you were going to prosecute and Mr. Adye defend."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What — what have I —?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What — what?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's a man to do when he's desper- ate? ” He broke the silence at last suddenly: “ Every shilling will be needed, ” he said.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's that? ” “ Why, on that very day Hubert had written to the Ger- man family in Hanover about Eustace going there the next Monday.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's the matter? ” asked the inspector as loudly as if he had been addressing a squad of prisoners.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's the matter? ” she asked fearfully, as she rushed to his side.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's up, Egerton? ” he asked quietly as he extended his hand, which Egerton retained.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's — what's the first thing to be done? ” he asked helplessly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's — what's the matter, Marston? ” she cried.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What's — what's up, eh? ” he whispered while he waited vainly for an answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What? ” he asked quite dazed.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ What?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Where are the law reports? ” she asked impatiently.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Where is the poor young gentleman now then? ” queried the head housemaid.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Where the devil is he?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Whisky and soda, Adye?'
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Who generally attends you, Sir Hubert?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Who is he?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Who will the judge be, then? ” “ Dick Petworth, thank heaven!
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Who's there? ” she asked nervously.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Who- o- o is it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Who?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Whom are you addressing? ” was Adye's sharp question.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why did I buy it?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why did he talk so much about'them weeds'if it was n't with the object of getting off the point?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why did he write this letter?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why do n't you start? ” “ There's some one wants to speak to you, Sir Hubert."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why have they done this terrible thing, Michael? ” “ They must suppose they have some evidence, Magdalen, ” was the grave answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why have you asked him — why? ” An evident determination had seized hold of the beauti- ful woman.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why was nobody with him?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why — why have you both — left the court? ” “ The suspense became unendurable,"said Gurney.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why, at the bottom, of course, and'eld down fast. ” “ Is it deep there? ” “ About ten foot a few yards out, and there be some tidy weeds."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why, do you? ” “ Oh, you never know.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why, what's going to happen to you, Marston?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why, you could have prevented this! ” “ I, Lady Ware? ” “ Yes, by telling the truth of what occurred on that after- noon.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Why? ” gasped Magdalen.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Will Marston have to do that? ” “ Not just yet,"was Gurney's amused answer.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Will be safely protected as to be impossible-_-"“ For me to touch? ” “ Precisely."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Will it take long?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Will you go in first with my wife? ” he said.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Will — will you ask him, Michael? ” Adye was glad of the request.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ With no possible way out?'
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Wo n't it suffice if I say that I have arranged to pay all his debts?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Would he be in his depth there? ” “ Oh, yes, Sir'Enery, by them steps."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Would n't it, then, be wiser,"continued the girl, “ if you and he —? ” “ Never met?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Would n't it, then, be wiser,"continued the girl, “ if you and he —? ” “ Never met?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Y- e- e- s?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Ye- e- e- s? ” was Ware's answer, in a tone of utter cal- lousness.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes — Yes- Yes- and the total sum? ” The receiver jerked in his hand.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes — from to- night. ” “ How — how can I do that?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, Mrs. Rate. ”"I take it you'll have no objection, Sir Hubert, to my going over the place should any necessity arise?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, Sir Henry. ” “ It's not a party, I think? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, Sir Hubert. ” “ But what for? ” “ It's only the police that can tell that, Sir Hubert.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, and Adye's going to be awfully kind — ” “ How? ” inquired Magdalen, looking at him quickly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, but does any one know how much money Eustace had on him before he went down to the lake? ” asked Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, it's horribe this — horrible. ” “ Do n't you think you'd better stay quietly here, Sir Hu- bert? ” “ No, no.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, with some new sort of serum of craftiness, patented by_"“ Yourself, eh, Ware?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, would you witness my signature? ” Ware, with a quick look of fear, interrupted them.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes, yes? ” “ He-- he went to the — bathing- shed — a few moments ago! ” There was a general movement of alarm within the room.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes. ” “ Is Sir Henry Egerton accurate, then, in describing you upon that day as being in excellent spirits?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes; what is it?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You do n't want me any more, Sir George? ” he asked of the Director.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You have told my learned friend, ” he said, “ that you lost that ring three days after your brother- in- law's death when you were bathing?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You know what I'd like to say, do n't you, sir? ” he said, half choking.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You mean to say that is the law? ” And Magdalen's finely pencilled eyebrows formed two perfect triumphal arches.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You ordered it to the exact pattern of the other? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You realize the weight this may carry, do n't you? ” asked Adye.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You saw that distinctly? ” “ Distinctly, sir."
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You say the seat you sat upon can not be seen from the croquet lawn? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You seem to have been steeped in crime, Sir Hubert?
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You think so? ” “ I do n't think at all.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You want to see me, Adye? ” he said.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You were deceiving her? ” “ Yes,"was the other's answer, as he hung his head and sank into a chair.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You were going to say something? ”.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You were on the croquet lawn at the time, were n't you? ” “ Yes, ” replied Celia with a shudder.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You would command me, though, would n't you, if there was any mortal thing I could do for you? ” “ Of course I would, Mike.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You'll be merciful, though, wo n't you?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You'll stay on with me as my Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, Marston?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You're certain of that? ” asked Adye eagerly.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You're still certain it was murder then?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ You've had nothing?"
hvd.hn1kpe	“ Your wife does n't know I'm here? ” “ No.
hvd.hn1kpe	“ « Aeroplane'- beaten? ” he gasped.
hvd.hn1kpe	“'Ow did'er ladyship take it, Mr. Rate? ” inquired the head housemaid.
hvd.hn1kpe	” “ My dear fella, what other way is there?
hvd.hn1kpe	” “ What do you mean? ” inquired the girl.
hvd.hn1kpe	” “ Yes. ” “ When you went to give them that story you knew, did you not, that it contradicted in detail the case for the prose- cution?"
hvd.hx5fdy	If they're so chummy why do n't they come out 216 MoUNTAINS OF MYSTERY and lay down a door- mat with ‘ Welcome ’ on it? hvd.hx5fdy - “ A white man? hvd.hx5fdy - “ Bastant ’? ” he snickered. hvd.hx5fdy - “ Huh? ” it hoarsely demanded. hvd.hx5fdy - “ You can not make yourselves light once more? ” A short headshake. hvd.hx5fdy 238 MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY Instead, over at the west had risen another spirit of smoke, which stood up and waveringly sum- moned them to – what? hvd.hx5fdy Age. ” “ Sí? hvd.hx5fdy Ah — who were those San Fernando men? ” “ Their names were Tito and Mateo, ” supplied Knowlton. hvd.hx5fdy All the guns here? ”- Affirmative grunts answered, followed by Tim's sour growl: “ Made a sneak, hey? hvd.hx5fdy All the guns here? ”- Affirmative grunts answered, followed by Tim's sour growl: “ Made a sneak, hey? hvd.hx5fdy And Atures and Maipures — how did you ever get so heavy a boat around those long stretches? hvd.hx5fdy And I am not on good terms with the governor. ” 24 MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY “ Governor Ramirez? hvd.hx5fdy And an American? hvd.hx5fdy And how did the older ones die — those not so foolish? ” “ Guaharibos. hvd.hx5fdy And how did they get here? ” Portonio, lounging near, spoke before the blond Spaniard; but his word conveyed no meaning to his employers. hvd.hx5fdy And now how do you like it? hvd.hx5fdy And then what do we do? hvd.hx5fdy And what became of those men? ” The Indian eyes narrowed, and the lips tight- ened. hvd.hx5fdy And what is the result? hvd.hx5fdy And where did he come from, and why? ”- “ Quién sabe? ” shrugged the Spaniard, who had been covertly listening to the Maquiritare jargon. hvd.hx5fdy And where did he come from, and why? ”- “ Quién sabe? ” shrugged the Spaniard, who had been covertly listening to the Maquiritare jargon. hvd.hx5fdy And why should he speak of the moun- tains? hvd.hx5fdy And you did not know he was here? hvd.hx5fdy And — did ye say crazy, too?
hvd.hx5fdy	Are they real or jest a yarn? ” “ You shall see, ” was the noncommittal an- swer.
hvd.hx5fdy	As for these lost white people, señor — what gave you faith that such people exist? ”- “ Meaning that they do n’t exist? ” McKay thrust in.
hvd.hx5fdy	As for these lost white people, señor — what gave you faith that such people exist? ”- “ Meaning that they do n’t exist? ” McKay thrust in.
hvd.hx5fdy	As he cleaned the blade by shoving it repeatedly into the soil, an Indian called: “ What is it? ” “ Traga venado, ” coolly lied the Spaniard.
hvd.hx5fdy	At San Fernando? ” queried McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	At length Knowlton called to León: “ How far off is that miserable rock, anyway?
hvd.hx5fdy	At length, however, he curtly answered: “ No. ” “ No? ” echoed the Spaniard.
hvd.hx5fdy	But I wonder why our friend yonder dodged your question about crazy black- white men? ” “ I wonder, ” pondered McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	But from where did the first blondos come to this place? ” “ Guayana. ” MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY 265 “ Guayana.
hvd.hx5fdy	But gittin'back to omens, d'ye mind how many of us there is now?
hvd.hx5fdy	But how- What do you know about him? ” The Ventuari man did not answer at once.
hvd.hx5fdy	But now — how did you happen to pick Tito and Mateo to come with you? ”- “ Why, we did n't exactly pick them, ” recalle Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	But the most pressing now before the house is: When do we eat? ” The old one's sharp eyes watched him as he spoke, striving to read his face.
hvd.hx5fdy	But there is no way out of here? ” “ Out?
hvd.hx5fdy	But there is no way out of here? ” “ Out?
hvd.hx5fdy	But what for? ” demanded Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	By what monstrous deeds had these white ones made themselves regarded as fiends by the other people of Guayana?
hvd.hx5fdy	D'ye mean—’twas here that they fixed him? ” “ Here.
hvd.hx5fdy	D'ye mind that bunch o'stiffs we found down there by the trees when we started our long hike?
hvd.hx5fdy	D'ye mind that night down below, when we slept on the sand and a tigre swum over to mop us up?
hvd.hx5fdy	D'ye mind the bank's like a wall, straight up and down?
hvd.hx5fdy	Devils of what sort? ” The Indian seemed to writhe again.
hvd.hx5fdy	Did n't I tell you our luck was still with us?
hvd.hx5fdy	Did ye git what he said about killin'one o ’ them lads with his fists?
hvd.hx5fdy	Did you hit either of them?
hvd.hx5fdy	Do all the Injuns round here use that shootin ’ poison? ” León nodded.
hvd.hx5fdy	Do n't you know it yet? ” Another pause.
hvd.hx5fdy	Do you carry a luck- piece — a talisman, or fetich, or medicine- bag, or some- thing? ” asked Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	Do you now begin to believe in the luck of Loco León? ” “ Lucky — Loco — León, ” echoed Knowlton, pressing a hand to his swimming head.
hvd.hx5fdy	France?
hvd.hx5fdy	Git it, looey?
hvd.hx5fdy	Got his goat, did n't it?
hvd.hx5fdy	Got some matches, Merry? ” “ Guess so.
hvd.hx5fdy	He speaks no Spanish? ” “ A little.
hvd.hx5fdy	He trifled with a gid of the Maquiritares, and — Do you remem- her those black men of the Caño Cerbatana? ” A pause.
hvd.hx5fdy	He was very eager to buy it — or, at least, to have us set a price On it. ” “ Launch? ” The Ventuari man looked sur- prised.
hvd.hx5fdy	Here? ” demanded León.
hvd.hx5fdy	Hey, Tonio, is there any o ’ them big water- snakes in this here river? ” “ Culebras de agua?
hvd.hx5fdy	Hey, Tonio, is there any o ’ them big water- snakes in this here river? ” “ Culebras de agua?
hvd.hx5fdy	How are they goin’ to make their gitaway?
hvd.hx5fdy	How are you? ” “ Bien, ” Juancito replied shortly.
hvd.hx5fdy	How do they get that way? ” There was a silence.
hvd.hx5fdy	How do we git topside? ” “ Oh, just climb, ” retorted the blond.
hvd.hx5fdy	I suppose you met him, and he was very gracious to you?
hvd.hx5fdy	I'll just have to undress this chap and take along his hide. ” “ What'll ye take it along in, and where to? ” demanded Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	If he did n't meet them, how did he know you were here?
hvd.hx5fdy	If those men had failed to find a way of escape, why should fortune favor the new captives?
hvd.hx5fdy	Is it not so?
hvd.hx5fdy	Is it not so? ” A harsh, mirthless chuckle.
hvd.hx5fdy	It has never yet failed me in a tight place. ” “ What's that?
hvd.hx5fdy	Jest as quick as we can git a toe- hold on that toboggan- slide — Huh?
hvd.hx5fdy	Jest flew away, huh, without flappin'his wings or nothin’?
hvd.hx5fdy	Le's see, the ol'skate said “ At the houses, ’ did n't he?
hvd.hx5fdy	Let's see, is n't nine a sort of mystic number — three times three- proof against spells and so on?
hvd.hx5fdy	Luck will come to us through this man — and his woman, She will not let him lie here long. ” “ His woman? ” questioned McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY 99 “ What ails these fellows? ” demanded McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	McKay turned away, his gray gaze again plumbing the depths of the surrounding woods, “ Any coffee left? ” he calmly asked.
hvd.hx5fdy	Now if all o'them tough eggs had been alive and goin'strong at the finish instead o'knocked for a gool before they got started, where'd we be now?
hvd.hx5fdy	Now was he cussin'us, or cussin'Rameery for gittin ’ him into this?
hvd.hx5fdy	Or perhaps he meant — Oh, quién sabe?
hvd.hx5fdy	Our friend has gone. ” “ Yeah?
hvd.hx5fdy	Quién sabe?
hvd.hx5fdy	Rameery? ” Far down in the fading eyes came a glimmer of hate.
hvd.hx5fdy	Rod, does n't it remind you of the fairy- tales we used to hear when we were kids?
hvd.hx5fdy	S'pose he's clawed his face off in one o ’ his spells?
hvd.hx5fdy	Sent guys to kill ye? ” Tim demanded.
hvd.hx5fdy	Should we, the noble white race, who kill and rob and cheat one another, expect the simple Indian to be better than ourselves?
hvd.hx5fdy	So the Guaharibos come here and fight you?
hvd.hx5fdy	So we shall lie here while four of my boys go to Uaunana for better canoes. ”-- “ How long will that take? ” asked McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	So why leave good food and other treasures to rot and rust, benefiting no man?
hvd.hx5fdy	So why need a man fight his head?
hvd.hx5fdy	So why, in the devil's name, should poor Curro have warned us against mountains?
hvd.hx5fdy	So you came from nowhere else?
hvd.hx5fdy	So?
hvd.hx5fdy	Speak Spanish? ” “ One does.
hvd.hx5fdy	Suppose León's giving us a fine wildgoose chase? ” McKay shook his head.
hvd.hx5fdy	The blondo went to tell his people that we come? ” A silence, broken by Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	The blurry 264 MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY “ How many years have you, father? ” “ How many stars has the sky? ” droned the ancient.
hvd.hx5fdy	The blurry 264 MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY “ How many years have you, father? ” “ How many stars has the sky? ” droned the ancient.
hvd.hx5fdy	The long- expected meeting with the white men of Guayana?
hvd.hx5fdy	Then from where could these have come? ” The Maquiritare was silent for a time.
hvd.hx5fdy	Then what is the thing you gamble on, capitán? ” “ A change of heart. ” The others eyed him in perplexity.
hvd.hx5fdy	Then, to Juancito: “ No blondos are here? ” The little chief's face tightened a trifle.
hvd.hx5fdy	There is no answer to the riddle. ” “ Where are those mountains? ” quizzed Mc- Kay.
hvd.hx5fdy	These blonds were Maquiritares?
hvd.hx5fdy	These chaps are Indians? ” blurted Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	They can go ashore before reaching it. ”- “ They? ” echoed Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	They go. ” “ And the demonios do not harm them? ” No response.
hvd.hx5fdy	They watched us come up the Periqueta; remember the mysterious movements we used to See?
hvd.hx5fdy	They're kiddin'us along till they git us to the right place, and then — ” “ And then what'll we do? ” challenged Knowl- ton.
hvd.hx5fdy	Think he'll be violent, León? ” “ I do not know, ” the Spaniard answered, slowly.
hvd.hx5fdy	Tito Coro and Mateo Collado, perhaps? ” He glanced at Portonio, who nodded.
hvd.hx5fdy	Was this region, by some occult decree, forbidden to Indians, however light of skin, but open to real white men?
hvd.hx5fdy	We can find some creek and get back to the Ventuari 33 “ Huh? ” Tim bristled.
hvd.hx5fdy	Were those blancos, perhaps, responsible for the disappearance of the four Indian members of this party?
hvd.hx5fdy	What are these?
hvd.hx5fdy	What hole are we in now? ” mut- tered León, also staring about him.
hvd.hx5fdy	What is in it? ” Slowly the hand sank.
hvd.hx5fdy	What is it? ” The Indians, roused from slumber, shrank against each other at the sound of the maniacal laughter.
hvd.hx5fdy	What is the matter here? ” demanded León, as the uproar ceased.
hvd.hx5fdy	What is your nation? ” “ Maquiritare. ” There was a long pause.
hvd.hx5fdy	What the divil ’s that? ” After a stunned instant, the five broke into wild laughter as the explanation struck them.
hvd.hx5fdy	What the divil ’s that? ” MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY 235 Seconds passed.
hvd.hx5fdy	What was afoot now?
hvd.hx5fdy	What ye scairt of?
hvd.hx5fdy	What ’s that? ” “ People in the same family mating, and their children mating — brother with sister — and so on.
hvd.hx5fdy	Where did you meet El Blanco Negro — the black white man? ” Silence.
hvd.hx5fdy	Who are you? ” “ Por- tonio Ma- ri- fio, ” rang the slow response.
hvd.hx5fdy	Who knows what may have come about in this land of strange things?
hvd.hx5fdy	Why did you do this? ” The glazing eyes moved a little.
hvd.hx5fdy	Why do you not go to some other place, where Guaharibos will not reach you? ” The other stared, as if he thought the ques- tioner mad.
hvd.hx5fdy	Why had he fled — aided by Juancito, who had given him a clear field by recalling the explorers to the interior?
hvd.hx5fdy	Why not?
hvd.hx5fdy	Will you come over here, or do we have to come and get you? ” A wild shriek of laughter was the retort — a jeer.
hvd.hx5fdy	Ye heard what he said, did n't ye?
hvd.hx5fdy	Ye yeller- bellied hellions, that ai n’t so funny, hey? ” howled Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	Yet how could human beings have entered this hut and killed or captured and borne away four strong Maquiritares without struggle or noise?
hvd.hx5fdy	Yet why are so many fools here, and only one wise man? ” “ Because the new ones are not born wise, Each young one is more of a fool.
hvd.hx5fdy	Yet why, in that case, had not the blondo remained here to guide"strangers?
hvd.hx5fdy	You mean — The girl turned him black? ”"Just so, señor.
hvd.hx5fdy	You say you are Maquiritare?
hvd.hx5fdy	You think you used to be a white man, do you?
hvd.hx5fdy	You were in the war? ” “ Oh, sure.
hvd.hx5fdy	You would come here, would you, you boobs?
hvd.hx5fdy	You?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ A token and a guide, ” said León: “ Token of what? ” puzzled McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ All set? ” queried Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ And they're like that for life?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ And what do you know about this Ventuari? ” “ Nothing, except that it's said to be very rough in the upper part. ” “ S1.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ And what was that about British Guiana? ” “ They are Maquiritares, capitän; a small band of them — but wicked fighters.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ And you know of no place where more of such stones are? ” the Spaniard was repeating.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Are any blondos now at Uaunana? ” asked León.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Are we out o'smokes, too? ” croaked Tim, after a vain search of pockets.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Are your legs sufficiently stretched, señor? ” asked León, himself hollow- eyed from the strenuous march.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Begorry, who's loony now? ” muttered Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ But who and what is this Black White?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ By the way, are these Indians up above likely to resent our in- vasion of their country?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Can a demon be slain by them? ” Frasco made no reply.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Carambal What is this? ” ejaculated the leader.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Cherries? ” puzzled McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Come and get me? ” howled the voice.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Crocodiles up here? ” asked McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Death? ” “ I do not know.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ D’ye notice, fellers, the skeeters ai n't nowheres near so thick up here?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Eating with their own crowd for once?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Enough? ” “ Oh boy! ” gurgled Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Feet getting chilly? ” he derided.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Funny, ai n't it, us three comin ’ back to tiger- meat? ” he said.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Guaharibos live here? ” “ No.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Guaharibos? ” he echoed.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Guess you were joking, were n't you, about the madness in that stuff? ” asked Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Have any been here of late? ” No answer came.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ He is from far back. ” Then, in Spanish, to Frasco: “ He brings no message? ” “ No.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ How do they git that way? ” Knowlton, studying them as impersonally as if they were wax figures, answered: “ Inbreeding. ” “ Huh?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ How do they git that way? ” Knowlton, studying them as impersonally as if they were wax figures, answered: “ Inbreeding. ” “ Huh?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ How many trees has the forest? ” “ Ah.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ How's that? ” “ Many years ago — perhaps a hundred, per- haps two hundred — soldiers and Jesuit priests came up the Caura.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ I hope, señores, that you spent a pleasant and amusing night? ” twitted León, grinning at the three sentinels.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Juancit ’, cómo está uste'?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Lie down and let'em claw?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Man?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Meaning what? ” McKay shook his head.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Mind the time we went battin'round the bush down on the Amazon and got up the Tiger River?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Notice how him and that gun are glued to- gether?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Or can it be fermented into a murderous form of booze?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Perhaps they do — perhaps not — quién sabe?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Por- tonio, hay café? ” “ Pocito.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Quit?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Quién es?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Quién es? ” demanded the ancient.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Quién sabe?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Rather a queer taste, but — Try it, Rod? ” McKay, expressionless, downed a capacious mouthful and passed it on.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Tamara? ” he pursued, nodding toward the three unclothed men.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ The only bad crack that's come in daylight was Curro gittin'killed in that there rowdydow, or what ye call it — raudal?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ These dish- faced idjuts?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Think she's damaged, Merry? ” asked McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ To drive men mad? ” “ Sometimes.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Want to make us targets? ” The Spaniard, with mocking deliberation, held the tiny torch a second longer, then carelessly dropped it.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What blondo? ” “ The one who just came and went, señor. ” “ A blond?

hvd.hx5fdy	“ What did you call this place? ” asked Knowl- ton.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What do we care for what those Bolívar wise- guys said?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What do you make of it? ” “ Only that we have what we want, ” shrugged León.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What do your omens say about our luck, Tim? ” asked Knowlton, with a thin smile.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What is that? ” As one man, they right- faced and pushed southward again.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What the divil ails them guys? ” grumbled Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What the divil ’s that? ” he gasped, throwing a hand behind him to feel the smitten spot.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What's that gang of his, León? ” quizzed McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ What's the good of “ if ”?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Where are all the other blondos? ” “ At the houses, ” came the unwary reply.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Where do they hide from us? ” Frasco, squatting beside the cook- fire, met his mocking eye with sombre gaze.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Where do you lead us? ” abruptly demanded McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Where is your gang now, White?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Where'd you hear that? ” “ The word came down the Ventuari some time ago, friend.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Where's all our gang? ” wondered Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Who is there? ” demanded the master of the € State, t The burlap moved aside.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Who told you to leave us?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Why are you so black? ” A long pause.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Why do you carry so many arrows? ” quizzed Knowlton.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Why do you try to make us drink this?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Why? ” “ Muy maluc'ſ Very bad! ” “ And why? ” “ Diablos!
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Why? ” “ Muy maluc'ſ Very bad! ” “ And why? ” “ Diablos!
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Ye mean them gorillas will git merciful? ” scoffed Tim.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Yes, and you remember what happened to Señor Tigre, do n't you? ” he jeered.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Yet what? ” queried McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ You heard nothing, Portonio? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ You see them. ” “ You mean — There are no more? ” asked McKay.
hvd.hx5fdy	“ You travel in a launch: And you forced it up into this country?
hvd.hx5fdy	“ Your legend said those blond people were on this Ventuari? ” 46 MOUNTAINS OF MYSTERY “ Well, no.
hvd.hn5sd9	'Will what I fear ever happen? hvd.hn5sd9 All right; now, what about Mrs. Stannard's story of overhearing the stuff her husband said to the girl?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Am I afraid of you? ” she asked, as she sat fac- ing Alan Ford. hvd.hn5sd9 And he has a round, smooth- shaven face? ” Rob- erts spoke eagerly, as if he had in mind a distinct personality.
hvd.hn5sd9	And his jewel collection? hvd.hn5sd9 And how did the bearer of the box get into the locked room?"
hvd.hn5sd9	And just how did he leave the room? hvd.hn5sd9 And the young lady,-is Barry Stannard a suit- or of hers? ” Mrs. Faulkner's Account Beatrice's face clouded a little.
hvd.hn5sd9	And then, you think, Mr. Stannard, that this intruder turned off the lights and made his exit just before the ladies entered the room? ”I do.
hvd.hn5sd9	Are you satisfied? ” “ May we ask questions? ” eagerly exclaimed Bobsy. hvd.hn5sd9 Are you satisfied? ” “ May we ask questions? ” eagerly exclaimed Bobsy.
hvd.hn5sd9	At any rate, it is not the rough dress of a tramp or burglar? ”No,—not that, I think. ”"He is not masked? ”"No."
hvd.hn5sd9	At any rate, it is not the rough dress of a tramp or burglar? ”No,—not that, I think. ”"He is not masked? ”"No."
hvd.hn5sd9	Barry, what are you afraid of? hvd.hn5sd9 But how do you explain the various clues point- ing to Natalie?"
hvd.hn5sd9	But how do you know? hvd.hn5sd9 But in her case you know of instances? ” Bobsy smiled pleasantly.
hvd.hn5sd9	But it was supernatural to read the sealed mes- sages as she did?.
hvd.hn5sd9	By rapping and tipping tables? ” “ No, not at all. hvd.hn5sd9 Ca n't I help? ”"Only by doing the things you just promised to do.
hvd.hn5sd9	Captain, ” Bobsy would say,do you see that point? ” 80 Faulkner's Folly “ I saw it long ago,"would be the exasperating reply.
hvd.hn5sd9	Could you see me from here?
hvd.hn5sd9	Did you see Mr. Courtenay on that stone bench there? ” “ No, I do n't think so. hvd.hn5sd9 Directly behind him?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Do I understand, Mr. Roberts, you mean that I- let us speak plainly — that I killed Eric Stan- nard?
hvd.hn5sd9	Down to the Italian gardens? ” she said at last. hvd.hn5sd9 His sleeping room is above the studio? ” “ Yes, sir; and his bath and dressing- room and den.
hvd.hn5sd9	How can you ask? hvd.hn5sd9 How could she help seeing him?".
hvd.hn5sd9	How do you know he said, or tried to say,'Neither Joyce nor Natalie'? ”. hvd.hn5sd9 How do you know she does?
hvd.hn5sd9	How is he dressed? ”I can not quite tell.
hvd.hn5sd9	How long was the light out?'' hvd.hn5sd9 I have heard of such things, but I ca n't believe it in this case. ” “ What will Barry say?
hvd.hn5sd9	I heard Eric moan. ”Did you know at once it was Mr. Stannard?"
hvd.hn5sd9	I'm packing,the model answered,"to go away. ”"Why, what has happened?
hvd.hn5sd9	If Mrs. Stannard had had any angry words with her husband just before he was attacked, could you have overheard them?
hvd.hn5sd9	Is it enough? ” she asked. hvd.hn5sd9 Is there a hat on the table?
hvd.hn5sd9	It's funny to have two names alike, is n't it?
hvd.hn5sd9	May I come in?
hvd.hn5sd9	May I look at it? ” said Natalie, as they sat a moment, before beginning the séance. hvd.hn5sd9 May we speak? ” asked Natalie, eagerly.
hvd.hn5sd9	Might not Mr. Stannard's objection to his son's suit have been prompted by his own admiration for the lovely nature? ”. hvd.hn5sd9 Mr. Roberts, ” she said, suddenly, “ if I wish to go away from this house, is there any reason I should not do so? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Natalie Vernon altered her bequest from seven thousand dollars to seventy thousand. ”How could she?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Need I be? ” Her questions were not prompted by coquetry, that was evident. hvd.hn5sd9 No chance for a confederate? ”"Not the least.
hvd.hn5sd9	No, he has a long, thin face“ Can you see his face, then? ” Bobsy fairly shot out the words.
hvd.hn5sd9	No,she returned;"what do you mean? ”!
hvd.hn5sd9	Nor any of the men? ” “ No, sir. hvd.hn5sd9 Not unless it was somebody known to the household. ”"Well? ” said Natalie Vernon.
hvd.hn5sd9	Oh, ho,was his self- communing,"sits the wind in that quarter?
hvd.hn5sd9	Oh, yes, ” cried Natalie, “ how was that done? ” 294 Faulkner's Folly to aid her and also to conceal the light from her audience.
hvd.hn5sd9	Physically, you mean? ” “ Yes, and mentally, too. hvd.hn5sd9 Pointed or full? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Servants or the others?
hvd.hn5sd9	She was cowering back against the little paint stand. ”Looking terrified?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Spooks? ”Not exactly that, but to- well, to reconstruct the murder scene,-mentally, you know, and see who did the stabbing.
hvd.hn5sd9	Tampered with?
hvd.hn5sd9	The rest in the light?
hvd.hn5sd9	The servants saw no stranger, in any sort of garb? ” “ They say so,returned Beatrice, thoughtfully.
hvd.hn5sd9	Then Mrs. Stannard and Mr. Courtenay went into the Billiard Room?
hvd.hn5sd9	Then she suspects Mrs. Stannard? ”She does n't say so.
hvd.hn5sd9	They were so inarticulate as to be unintelli- gible. ” “ You swear this? ”I do.
hvd.hn5sd9	This is signed Beatrice Faulkner, and it says,'Where are the lost jewels?' hvd.hn5sd9 To New York? ” cried the amazed Bobsy.
hvd.hn5sd9	To whom then? ”I've no idea.
hvd.hn5sd9	Too kind,-in some ways,-and not enough so in others. ”And his wife was jealous? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Turned it on? hvd.hn5sd9 Was the door of your bedroom locked?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Well, what about it? ”. hvd.hn5sd9 What are you doing? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	What did you think ailed him?
hvd.hn5sd9	What do you mean? ”I'm going to scare up somebody who saw me on that bench and will swear to it."
hvd.hn5sd9	What does Barry say?
hvd.hn5sd9	What has become of your portrait painted on the staircase? ” he asked. hvd.hn5sd9 What is it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What makes you think so? ” “ I do n't think so, I know so. hvd.hn5sd9 What may I call you? ” he asked, as he bowed before her.
hvd.hn5sd9	What next? ” said the Coroner, as Blake paused. hvd.hn5sd9 What possessed the child? ”"Do n't call her a child.
hvd.hn5sd9	What shall we do? ” exclaimed Natalie. hvd.hn5sd9 Where are these jewels? ” asked Lamson, sud- denly, scenting a possible robbery.
hvd.hn5sd9	Where is Miss Vernon? ” he asked abruptly. hvd.hn5sd9 Where is the fancied alteration? ” Courtenay looked at the stern face of the lawyer, and wondered if he could be dishonest or if he had been blind.
hvd.hn5sd9	Where were you just before you came down the stairs and saw Blake? ”In the Drawing Room, on the second floor, at the other end of the house.
hvd.hn5sd9	Where's Barry? ” went on Dr. Keith. hvd.hn5sd9 Whichever did it, or whoever did it, had to cross to the other end of the room to turn off the lights, did n't she?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Who did this, sir?
hvd.hn5sd9	Who did, do you think?
hvd.hn5sd9	Who will benefit financially by his death?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why I've just found them! ” “ Did n't you have them all the timé?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why did you think it would accuse a stranger? hvd.hn5sd9 Why do you stay in this room, Barry?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why have n't you been here? ” “ I thought better not, darling. hvd.hn5sd9 Why not as you did before? ” said Beatrice,"part of them in darkness and part in light.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why would anybody? hvd.hn5sd9 With whom?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Without a word? ”No.
hvd.hn5sd9	You did n't love Eric, did you?
hvd.hn5sd9	You know nothing of the change in the will, then, Miss Vernon? ”I certainly do n't.
hvd.hn5sd9	You say he is dark? hvd.hn5sd9 You suspect I killed my husband? ” said Joyce, in a choking whisper.
hvd.hn5sd9	You were the first to discover your master's dead body? ”Mr. Stannard was not dead when I entered the room, ” replied Blake.
hvd.hn5sd9	You wo n't let them, will you, Barry?
hvd.hn5sd9	Your power is oc- cult, then? ”I think it must be.
hvd.hn5sd9	16 Faulkner's Folly"Where is Mr. Barry? ” asked the man.
hvd.hn5sd9	A Vision 175 “ Again or yet? ” asked his unmoved listener.
hvd.hn5sd9	A Vision 177 “ Well, who is the man?
hvd.hn5sd9	A dark beard?
hvd.hn5sd9	A heavy one?"
hvd.hn5sd9	A little awed, Coroner Lamson asked: “ Do you corroborate the story as just related by Blake, the footman?"
hvd.hn5sd9	A soft rustle, as of wings? ” “ No, I did n't, and neither did you.
hvd.hn5sd9	After the conversation we had just had, were you thinking of the dogs instead of me?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Again, could it not be that the artist's wife had had her jealousy stirred to its depths by this latest result of her husband's interest in the model?
hvd.hn5sd9	And I am glad there can be no more doubt about it. ”"Could a man have brushed by you that moment, Mrs. Stannard? ” asked Bobsy.
hvd.hn5sd9	And I must ask you why you stabbed him?
hvd.hn5sd9	And I was so mad, I flew into a rage, and""And scratched up your picture? ” “ No, that wax plate had n't been drawn then.
hvd.hn5sd9	And Mrs. Faulkner, she came toward him""And the two ladies behind him?"
hvd.hn5sd9	And for whom?
hvd.hn5sd9	And in a furious mo- ment of surprised indignation, what might not a woman do?
hvd.hn5sd9	And the criminal?
hvd.hn5sd9	And the house staff, too, if necessary? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	And then, Mrs. Faulkner came down?"
hvd.hn5sd9	And then, after awhile, she can marry Eugene Courtenay, and be happy. ” “ Does she want to marry Mr. Courtenay? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	And then, as if his doubts Sealed Envelopes were of little consequence, she said,"Shall I pro- ceed?"
hvd.hn5sd9	And what could a confederate do?
hvd.hn5sd9	And who else is to be considered? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	And yet, was she a fa- ker?
hvd.hn5sd9	And you can read sealed mes- sages in the dark? ”"No, indeed, I ca n't.
hvd.hn5sd9	And, also, might not Natalie merely have patterned her recital after that of Joyce?
hvd.hn5sd9	And, supposing he did commit crime to steal Mr. Stannard's jewels, just how did he get away afterward, without dis- covery?"
hvd.hn5sd9	And- suppose he did do it-""Kill Eric?
hvd.hn5sd9	Are any missing?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Are you frightening her, Mr. Roberts?
hvd.hn5sd9	Are you going to- do you care for him, Beatrice?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Be- atrice, who could have done it? ” “ Turned off the lights!
hvd.hn5sd9	Blake said, “ Who did this?'
hvd.hn5sd9	Brutal?
hvd.hn5sd9	But I did n't look on the table. ”"Nobody could have come in at the Billiard Room door?"
hvd.hn5sd9	But I have to prove this, Joyce- and it will be difficult. ”"Oh, does any one think it was you? ”"Yes, the police think so."
hvd.hn5sd9	But I know. ” “ Who, then? ”"Eugene Courtenay."
hvd.hn5sd9	But I see you suspect me of killing Mr. Stannard. ”"And did n't you? ” Bobsy believed in the effi- cacy of sudden, direct questions.
hvd.hn5sd9	But I think the spirit of Mr. Stannard haunts the whole room, and it was he who turned the light off. ”"By means of a material switch? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	But Miss Vernon, may we not have a few words with her?
hvd.hn5sd9	But are you sure you want him to know what I may reveal?
hvd.hn5sd9	But could an indignant girl go so far as to kill an artist who had drawn her in a way she did n't care to be portrayed?
hvd.hn5sd9	But could she do that?
hvd.hn5sd9	But do n't you see where the knowledge of her act leads us? ”"You mean ” Joyce could not say it.
hvd.hn5sd9	But he did not mean that I had stabbed him. ”"Did he know who stabbed him? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	But how, then, explain their return? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	But is n't it quite as likely that the girl did the stabbing? ” “ That wax baby? ”"She is n't the baby she looks!
hvd.hn5sd9	But is n't it quite as likely that the girl did the stabbing? ” “ That wax baby? ”"She is n't the baby she looks!
hvd.hn5sd9	But the thing is like a picture to my mind. ”"Like a moving picture? ”"No, sir, nobody moved.
hvd.hn5sd9	But they managed to fas- ten it on Mr. Courtenay and my plan failed utterly. ”"And then?"
hvd.hn5sd9	But when you said if the spirit manifestation ap- peared in the studio to- night — that was a trap, was n't it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	But where did you tramp? ”"Oh, around the grounds."
hvd.hn5sd9	But who corroborates that?"
hvd.hn5sd9	But why a servant?
hvd.hn5sd9	But why not consider Mr. Truxton?
hvd.hn5sd9	But, after all, might n't Goldenheart be Joyce her- self?
hvd.hn5sd9	By silent communion, or by a restless haunting of places they used to occupy?
hvd.hn5sd9	Ca n't you tell me what to do? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Can you tell us anything that will help clear the innocent or indicate the criminal?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Can you think of any reason why Miss Vernon would desire your husband's death? ” Joyce trembled visibly.
hvd.hn5sd9	Could you draw a rough sketch of that gown?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Courtenay?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Cruel?
hvd.hn5sd9	Did n't he leave you just about that time? ” “ Yes, or a few moments sooner.
hvd.hn5sd9	Did she describe him fur- ther? ” “ Yes, but only when I dragged it out of her.
hvd.hn5sd9	Did she tell you? ” “ No, she did n't know.
hvd.hn5sd9	Did she? ”"No.
hvd.hn5sd9	Did somebody change the text?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Did you have to defend yourself?
hvd.hn5sd9	Did you see Miss Vernon strike the blow? ”"No.
hvd.hn5sd9	Did you?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Do n't you know how some wom- en succumb to cave- man wooing?
hvd.hn5sd9	Do n't you see?
hvd.hn5sd9	Do n't you want to save Eugene? ” “ Of course I do, if he's innocent."
hvd.hn5sd9	Do you fear any revelation she may make? ” “ No, oh, no,-not that.
hvd.hn5sd9	Do you know who stabbed your father? ” “ No, I do not.
hvd.hn5sd9	Do you suspect the footman Blake of any connivance- or of any wrong doing in the whole matter?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Do you think I am enough of a sensitive to bring about a real mani- festation? ” “ Those things are hard to tell, Miss Vernon.
hvd.hn5sd9	Do you want her to?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Father is gone, no persecution of any innocent person can restore him to life, and the criminal can never be found. ”"Why not?
hvd.hn5sd9	For you, I suppose, Mrs. Stannard? ” “ Yes, ” said Joyce, and her tone was decided.
hvd.hn5sd9	Ford, you believe me, do n't you? ” Natalie looked at him, and a slight flush came to her pale cheek as she saw his slightly quizzical ex- pression.
hvd.hn5sd9	Further than that, she knows nothing about it. ” 112 Faulkner's Folly “ You mean, the jewels appeared there mysteri- ously? ”"Yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	Go into trances? ” “ Yes, of course,"said Natalie.
hvd.hn5sd9	Had Joyce laid a trap?
hvd.hn5sd9	Had he asked you to pose in any way to which you were unwilling to consent?
hvd.hn5sd9	Had he insisted, after you refused?
hvd.hn5sd9	Had to say, in curt, accusing tones, “ Then how do you explain Mr. Stannard's dying words, ‘ Natalie, not Joyce!?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Has she had them all the time?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Have n't you heard about her?
hvd.hn5sd9	Have you a warrant for my arrest? ”"I have not."
hvd.hn5sd9	Have you talked with her on this subject? ”"Oh, yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	Have you the plans of it?
hvd.hn5sd9	Have you them, Mrs. Stannard?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Have you told Roberts? ”"About the pillow?
hvd.hn5sd9	Have you told Roberts? ”"About the pillow?
hvd.hn5sd9	He had boldly writ- ten, “ Who killed Eric Stannard? ” a question no one else had felt like putting down in crude words.
hvd.hn5sd9	He hears the servant say,'Who did this?'
hvd.hn5sd9	He said, “ When you came in in the darkness, Mrs. Stan- nard, how did you avoid stumbling over the chairs and stands in your way?
hvd.hn5sd9	He showed only a few cases, but of very beautiful stones. ”"And then he put them away, where?"
hvd.hn5sd9	He slipped in, stabbed his man, turned off the light, and-slipped out again, past Mrs. Stannard. ”"Why did n't she know it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	He's not one of the story- book wizards, but he's a big light in the detective field, and he can find out if any one can. ”"Where is he?"
hvd.hn5sd9	He's thought up a dozen ways for him to get in and out. ”"All equally impossible? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Her rosy palm lifted in protest, she said, “ Why do you believe Mrs. Stannard's story and not mine?
hvd.hn5sd9	His clothes seem merely a dark shadow against the light. ” “ Does it seem to be evening dress? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	How can we dis- tinguish which one tells the truth? ”"Do n't say eye- witnesses,"objected Natalie.
hvd.hn5sd9	How could they have been brought in without your knowing it? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	How dare you imply such a thing?
hvd.hn5sd9	How did she know she was wanted? ”"She did n't know.
hvd.hn5sd9	How do you know? ” The Emeralds III"I passed her room this morning.
hvd.hn5sd9	How do you sup- pose the jewels came to be on that table? ”"I can not say,"Beatrice looked sad.
hvd.hn5sd9	How long before?"
hvd.hn5sd9	I believe they go for a trot every night, do n't they, Blake? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	I called his attention to it, and he said,'Changed figures?
hvd.hn5sd9	I can not tell. ” “ Is he wearing a hat?
hvd.hn5sd9	I do n't believe in those things, but — well — do you? ” “ I do not.
hvd.hn5sd9	I do n't believe they'd let you--"206 Natalie in Danger 207"Why not?
hvd.hn5sd9	I do n't care if it is un- From Seven to Seventy 197"Had he a hat on?"
hvd.hn5sd9	I feel lonely to- night. ” “ Dear heart, ca n't you learn to look to me to cheer that loneliness?".
hvd.hn5sd9	I flew across and turned off the lights as a precautionary measure, and then-""Then how did you get out?"
hvd.hn5sd9	I had been in the Billiard Room for some time, ever since dinner, in fact""Alone? ” “ Not at first.
hvd.hn5sd9	I have n't touched them. ”"What do you mean? ” and Beatrice looked curi- ously at the girl.
hvd.hn5sd9	I heard her breathing in a quick, frightened way. ” “ And when you first saw her?".
hvd.hn5sd9	I mean, you were the first to enter the room after the man was stabbed?"
hvd.hn5sd9	I often do when I go to a neighbour's. ” “ And you had it on when you sat on the bench? ”"Why, confound it, man.
hvd.hn5sd9	I was not. ”"You were not?"
hvd.hn5sd9	I was so scared to see Eric,-Mr. Stannard, dead or dy- ing, and his wife standing there as if she had just-""Just what?
hvd.hn5sd9	I went directly home, and retired without looking at the hour. ” “ You went out at the front door? ”"Yes; Blake, the footman, let me out.
hvd.hn5sd9	I- I ca n't remember,—that's all. ” “ Then you refuse to tell me? ”"I do n't refuse, I just do n't remember. ” “ Barry!
hvd.hn5sd9	IIO Faulkner's Folly"They wo n't arrest me, will they?"
hvd.hn5sd9	If I see to it, that the police are fully informed of my evidence regarding Courtenay, will you get away at once?"
hvd.hn5sd9	If Joyce Stannard killed her hus- band, she had a good reason for it, and I'd rather nobody'd know she did it. ” “ What was her good reason?"
hvd.hn5sd9	If Mrs. Stannard is the guilty person, you want it known, do n't you? ”"No, indeed!
hvd.hn5sd9	If he'd said,'has n't he red hair and freckles?'
hvd.hn5sd9	In it he has written, ‘ Are you a fraud?'
hvd.hn5sd9	Inheritance?
hvd.hn5sd9	Is he? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Is n't that Courte- nay? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Is not that valu- able? ” 92 Faulkner's Folly"Very.
hvd.hn5sd9	It had been really turned off, then? ”"Oh, yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	It helps a little to know you are sorry for mem"“ How did Orienta read the papers?
hvd.hn5sd9	It is in the studio. ” 274 Faulkner's Folly Stannard could return to earth and manifest itself in any way, it would prove-"Prove what?"
hvd.hn5sd9	It is not your business if lights in rooms are turned off or on, is it? ” “ No, Madame- but- there, Madame!
hvd.hn5sd9	It was light then? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	It was not a modern, modish gown at all; it was like a draped shawl. ” “ Drapery hanging from the shoulders? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	It was not premeditated, I did it on the spur of sud- den indignation. ”"Barry,"cried Joyce,"what are you saying?
hvd.hn5sd9	It was this, then, that attracted the at- tention of Mrs. Stannard and Miss Vernon, and they entered at about the same time?".
hvd.hn5sd9	It would look like confession. ”"Have you heard about the will?"
hvd.hn5sd9	It's too absurd. ” Natalie, Not Joyce 107 “ And Barry Stannard, what does he think?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Joyce, how could you ever marry him?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Joyce, you agree with me, do n't you?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Just what do you want to know? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Killed him? ” “ Yes, ” and Natalie's big blue eyes were violet with horror.
hvd.hn5sd9	Look here, Joyce, you did n't employ that woman to cook up a yarn, did you? ”"Mercy, no!"
hvd.hn5sd9	Look here, Mr. Rob- erts, why do n't you suspect Mr. Truxton?
hvd.hn5sd9	May I have a glimpse of it?!!
hvd.hn5sd9	May I speak to your outdoor servants?
hvd.hn5sd9	May n't I kiss you once- just once, Joyce?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Motive?
hvd.hn5sd9	Mrs. Faulkner and Joyce and Barry and I have gone over every bit of it a dozen times. ”"Is it possible?
hvd.hn5sd9	Mrs. Stannard says she heard no other voice, so may he not have been alone in the studio at that time?"

hvd.hn5sd9	Natalie in Danger 213"She really read them, then, by clairvoyant sight? ”"I do n't see any other explanation. ”"Nor do I.
hvd.hn5sd9	No proof to adduce that you were just where you claim to have been when the studio was darkened?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now we have accounted for —""What's the gallery for?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, brace up, Sweetheart, for I want to talk to you about lots of things, and how can I, if you burst into tears at every new subject I bring up?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, did you hear any other sound,—a click or thud,-after the light went out?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, how shall we go about proving it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, if we tax them with this, we'll get nothing out of them, for they're both at the edge of a nervous breakdown. ” “ The innocent one, too?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, just to what Questions and Answers 261 extent do you know you're a psychic?
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, listen; if Joyce killed Eric,—I do n't say she did, but if she did, why ca n't we just hush up the matter, and pry into it no more?
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, once again, which?
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, the question is, which one?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, which of the two acted the part of guilt?
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, why does n't Mr. Courtenay see her, as he sits on that lawn seat yonder? ”"Too dark,"said Steele, laconically.
hvd.hn5sd9	Now, why have n't you made it known?
hvd.hn5sd9	Oh, Joyce, what does it all mean?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Oh, what can we do?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Oh, why- why did I ever have Madame Orienta come here?
hvd.hn5sd9	On a chair?"
hvd.hn5sd9	One or the Other 129 said Goldenrod, especially as he had painted her in that guise?
hvd.hn5sd9	Opportunity?
hvd.hn5sd9	Or, that Joyce, in a jealous rage, had resented the portrait?
hvd.hn5sd9	Past which woman did he go? ”"I can not say.
hvd.hn5sd9	Perhaps they were simultaneous. ” “ One moment; was the Billiard Room lighted? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn5sd9	Run along now, I'll be down very soon. ”"What are you going to do?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Shall I answer?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Shall I ask him?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Shall I go now?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Shall I ring?"
hvd.hn5sd9	She insists it was some stranger- and, it wasn't- I mean- oh- what am I saying?
hvd.hn5sd9	She must have been out of her mind, you know, but she did it, for I saw her. ” “ Saw her kill him?"
hvd.hn5sd9	She stumbled up the stairs “ Why, did you see her? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	She ”"Miss Vernon, if you came into the room in the dark, how could you effect an entrance without up- setting something?

hvd.hn5sd9	Stannard is his second wife, is she not?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Stannard made no objection to this? ”"I think these queries are unnecessarily personal, but I see, so far, no harm in replying.
hvd.hn5sd9	Stannard was slow, then? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Stannard? ” she said, as Joyce rose and held out her hand.
hvd.hn5sd9	Stannard?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Still with her eyes closed, she held it out toward him, and read, “'Will the truth ever be known?
hvd.hn5sd9	Tell me, do you believe at all in spir- itism? ”"Spiritualism?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Tell me, do you believe at all in spir- itism? ”"Spiritualism?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Tell me, wo n't you? ” “ Yes, I'll tell you, because I ca n't refuse you, but also because I know he will only verify our conclusions.
hvd.hn5sd9	That Natalie, in a fit of anger at Eric, had destroyed his picture of her?
hvd.hn5sd9	That foolish letter was n't written to me. ” “ To whom, then? ”"I do n't know that, either.
hvd.hn5sd9	That man digs into everything. ”"You invited him, yourself, to the séance? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	The Emeralds 115 “ The reappearance of the emeralds seems to settle it. ”"Why? ” asked Beatrice Faulkner.
hvd.hn5sd9	The contrast,-the look of love he had for the girl, the look 286 Faulkner's Folly lat?"
hvd.hn5sd9	The jewels are here — isn't it mar- vellous, Joyce?
hvd.hn5sd9	The pocket- light method? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	The rest you know?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Then she flew into my room, without knocking""Is it her custom to knock?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Then she said, “ Do n't spirits ever use material means? ”"Not to my individual knowledge, ” returned Alan Ford gravely.
hvd.hn5sd9	Then she said, “ No, 270 Faulkner's Folly “ What material?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Then somebody, Blake, you know, turned the switch, and I saw Miss Vernon stand- ing by my dying husband's""How did you know he was dying?
hvd.hn5sd9	Then, why was n't her vision of the — the scene in the studio, the truth? ” “ I do n't say it was n't.

hvd.hn5sd9	There was a low light in all the halls, and occa- 280 Faulkner's Folly"You know all?"
hvd.hn5sd9	This is the first:'Who is Goldenheart?'
hvd.hn5sd9	This is,'Who marred my etched picture?'

hvd.hn5sd9	To whom have you told this story of sitting with your face bowed in the pillow? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Truxton, the jewel collector?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Unless, I hate to say it, but might n't Blake have let him out?"
hvd.hn5sd9	VIII The Emeralds TOU mean? ” prompted Bobsy.
hvd.hn5sd9	Was he tyran- nical?
hvd.hn5sd9	Was it on an impulse of sudden anger or indignation?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Was she innocent or was she an infant Machiavelli?
hvd.hn5sd9	Wearily, she an- Faulkner's Folly"And to whom were these remarks that you over- heard, addressed? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Well, Blake, which lady do you think did it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Were n't your eyes closed? ”"No, they were wide open.
hvd.hn5sd9	Were you going to let it pass unnoted? ” “ I must ask you to explain your enigmatical re- marks."
hvd.hn5sd9	Were you in evening togs, Mr. Courtenay? ”"I was. ” “ Had you on a hat?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Were you in evening togs, Mr. Courtenay? ”"I was. ” “ Had you on a hat?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Were you too absorbed in the spectacle of Mr. Stannard's plight to see clearly the others who were present? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	What They Said “ Yet, you are willing to believe that Miss Ver- non is the criminal we are seeking?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What about Barry? ”"Oh, I think Barry was off in the other direc- tion, down by the orchards.
hvd.hn5sd9	What about the words ut- tered by Mr. Stannard before he died?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What are you doing? ” Joyce entered Natalie's room, to find her on her knees before an open trunk.
hvd.hn5sd9	What can you tell us as to this?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What did you think of your father leaving such an enormous sum to Natalie?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What do you mean, Blake?
hvd.hn5sd9	What do you mean? ” “ Just what I say.
hvd.hn5sd9	What do you mean? ” “ Yes, Natalie and I sat there, Natalie thought she would go into a trance, you know-""That foolish girl!
hvd.hn5sd9	What do you suppose the Police have been doing?
hvd.hn5sd9	What does each of the four think?
hvd.hn5sd9	What else can I call it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What have you learned that makes you think my testimony of sudden importance? ” Clearly, this was not a man to be easily hood- winked.
hvd.hn5sd9	What is it? ”"Come in the studio.
hvd.hn5sd9	What is it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	What kind of a great detective was this who inquired concerning the texture of a costume?
hvd.hn5sd9	What matter, if Barry Stan- nard does n't care?
hvd.hn5sd9	What might they not learn be- fore the evening was over?
hvd.hn5sd9	Where are the emeralds?
hvd.hn5sd9	Where are the emeralds? ”"Goodness!
hvd.hn5sd9	Where are the other jewels hidden?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Where are you going? ”"First, to see Mr. Roberts.
hvd.hn5sd9	Where did I go?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Where did they come from? ” asked Roberts.
hvd.hn5sd9	Where did you find them, Natalie?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Where did you go next?
hvd.hn5sd9	Which first? ”"You may choose,"said the Priestess.
hvd.hn5sd9	Which woman was guilty?
hvd.hn5sd9	Who benefits by this will, aside from the princi- pals?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Who did it? ” “ With what?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Who did it? ” “ With what?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Who did it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Who else could it have been?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Who is he? ” “ The detective who is working on the case. ” Orienta shrugged her shoulders.
hvd.hn5sd9	Who is this man you have in mind? ” “ Alan Ford.
hvd.hn5sd9	Who sent for the clairvoyant? ”"Mrs. Stannard did, but, first, the Priestess, as she likes to be called, wrote and asked for a séance."
hvd.hn5sd9	Who should say which was guilty, the jealous wife or the disappointed girl?
hvd.hn5sd9	Who'd think her capable of such a thing?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Why did n't you tell this before? ”"Ca n't you understand, Mr. Roberts?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why did n't you tell this before? ”"Ca n't you understand, Mr. Roberts?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why do you say that? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why do you want to go? ” Natalie rose to her feet.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why not a guest- or a member of the household,-or- or Mrs. Stannard, herself? ”"I! ” exclaimed Joyce.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why should Barry do it, when he fully intended to marry her? ” “ Oh, I do n't know!
hvd.hn5sd9	Why should n't people light and relight their rooms as they chose?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why should they?
hvd.hn5sd9	Why would he? ”"You know, well enough ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why, Mr. Ford, it was n't suspicion, it was certainty that one or the other had stabbed him! ” “ And why have you changed your mind since?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Why, if she could tell us who""Do we want her to? ” said Barry, very soberly.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why, then, imagine that he would do this desperate thing?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Why, what is the matter, dear? ”"Beatrice!
hvd.hn5sd9	Why? ” The last word was shot at him, and Bobsy almost jumped.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why? ”"I just wanted to know.
hvd.hn5sd9	Why?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Why?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Will you draw it for Mr. Ford? ” “ Certainly, ” and taking the paper, Beatrice rapid- ly sketched an indication of Orienta, in her flowing robe.
hvd.hn5sd9	Will you help me? ” “ In any way I can, Mrs. Stannard.
hvd.hn5sd9	Will you tell the circumstances of your entering the room, Mrs. Stannard? ”"Of course I will.
hvd.hn5sd9	With scarcely a pause and without hesitation, Orienta went on: “'What can I do to help?
hvd.hn5sd9	Wo n't you refrain from asking it, until after that? ”: “ Certainly.
hvd.hn5sd9	Yes, it is an exceed- ingly valuable lot. ” “ He showed them to Mr. Truxton, that even- ing?"
hvd.hn5sd9	Yes, sir, Courtenay's your man! ”"Wait, what about that conversation Mrs. Stan- nard overheard?
hvd.hn5sd9	You believe in her supernatural powers? ”"Oh, yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	You came in through the Billiard Room?".
hvd.hn5sd9	You do n't mind, do you, Madame Orienta?"
hvd.hn5sd9	You do n't think Eugene killed Eric, do you? ” “ Of course not!
hvd.hn5sd9	You do n't want it, do you? ”"I?
hvd.hn5sd9	You do n't want it, do you? ”"I?
hvd.hn5sd9	You entered the studio from the Billiard Room, and saw?"
hvd.hn5sd9	You have nothing else to tell me?
hvd.hn5sd9	You knew Mr. Stannard years ago? ”"I was his first love.
hvd.hn5sd9	You know I'm a psychic. ” “ Ah, is that so?
hvd.hn5sd9	You like her? ” Joyce favoured Natalie with a calm stare.
hvd.hn5sd9	You must have seen it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	You said you were going upstairs, do n't you re- member?"
hvd.hn5sd9	You see,-er-"“ What, Blake? ”"Well, if I may say it, sir, he's- er- sweet on her, and they two went off by themselves."
hvd.hn5sd9	You see- it was all so confused — ” “ What was? ” “ Why,—the lights,—and that queer sound and — ”"Go on, Mrs. Stannard.
hvd.hn5sd9	You think I killed Eric ” “ No, I do n't, Natalie But, oh, do n't you see?
hvd.hn5sd9	Your husband studied abroad, Mrs. Faulkner?"
hvd.hn5sd9	did n't you hear a faint sound then?
hvd.hn5sd9	said Mrs. Faulkner, looking up from the letter she was writing, “ Oh, Joyce, what has happened? ”"Somebody turned off the studio lights!
hvd.hn5sd9	“ And found Miss Vernon already here? ” “ Yes, ” said Joyce.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ And left it there? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ And you do n't think I changed that will? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ And you fell for that? ” cried Steele, as the tale ended.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ And you were'Goldenheart'? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ And young Stannard persisted? ”"I think so.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Are you apt with your pencil, Miss Vernon?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Are you sure it all occurred at half past eleven? ” asked Steele.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ As if she had just come in from that room?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ At what time did you leave the Stannard house that night? ”"I do n't know, really.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ At what time did you reach home?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But do n't you see?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But he was in love with you? ” Natalie blushed, a real, natural girl blush.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But how can we think that a man entered at that window,"said Lamson, “ when we notice how it is filled with furniture and apparatus?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But now, An Alibi Needed 189 “ Yes; until that. ” “ Then some one could have passed you — you would n't have heard a soft step? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But you and Miss Vernon are good friends?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But you are sure you did know when the studio lights went out?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But you do n't think I- forged it- do you, Barry?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But you do not think so? ”"Frankly, I do not see how there could have been an intruder, unless dressed as a gentleman.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ But, if I may ask, sir, ” said Miller, respectfully,"how could a murderer see to strike such a blow in a dark room?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Did she faint?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Did you kill him, Natalie? ”"No! ” cried the girl.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Do the police know that? ”"I fear so.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Do you believe in me- jums, Cap? ” “ Not so's you'd notice it.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Do you know anything about a changed figure in Eric's will? ” he asked, bluntly.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Double skirt? ” “ Yes — or, that is, a skirt, and then an over dra- pery in full long folds.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Go on; question me as you like. ”"Why ca n't you trust me? ” “ Oh, I trust you, as far as that goes.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Have you noticed anything peculiar about this will? ” he asked.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ How can I tell that?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ How did they get there? ” “ I do n't know,"said Natalie, dully.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ How do you know anybody did? ”"Joyce says so."
hvd.hn5sd9	“ I do n't know what to do I've no one to ask, no one to confide in-""Ca n't you tell me?".
hvd.hn5sd9	“ In what ways did Miss Vernon incur Mr. Stan- nard's displeasure? ” asked Lamson.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Is n't it better to leave the whole thing a mystery? ”"No, ” said Joyce, decidedly.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ It is n't quite finished, you know. ”"May n't I see it? ” “ Not now.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ It's all one house,—there's no division?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Joyce, ” she said, at last,"why are you good to me?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Just what do you mean? ” he said.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ May I not have my conditions complied with? ”"Keep still, Natalie, ” said Barry.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ May I not stay there with you?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ May I take the little electric, Joyce, and drive it myself?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Miss Vernon, will you tell your story? ” said Lamson, abruptly, turning from Joyce to the girl.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Miss Vernon?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Naturally, as I know her so well. ” “ And is Mr. Courtenay one of them?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ No law ought to make you do anything you do n't want to, ” he said smiling;"but suppose it's to your own advantage to talk?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ No, I probably shouldn't- but, Eugene, it was n't you?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ No; why should I?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Not his face, but an indication of his pro- file"“ Then is he clean- shaven? ” “ No, he wears a beard. ”"Oh.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Now was Miss Vernon there and were these words addressed to her?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Now, as to the other ladies, Mrs. Stannard and Miss Vernon? ” “ Of those I know nothing, for they did n't come around where I was."
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Of course, I believe in life after death ” 198 Faulkner's Folly"But do you think the dead can return and com- municate with us?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Really?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Shall I read these in the dark or in the light? ” asked Orienta, as Bobsy held the five missives to- ward her.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Swear falsely? ” Joyce whispered the words.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Tell him to come some other time?".
hvd.hn5sd9	“ That, then, could scarcely be construed into a motive for murder? ”.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Then is he innocent, Beatrice?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Then you suspect some one?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ They came toward him, too, and Mrs. Stannard took hold of his hand-"Well?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Well, sir, I could n't help it, sir- I blurted out,'Who did this?'
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Well? ”"Well, can you imagine that little girl having nerve enough for all that?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Well? ”"Well, can you imagine that little girl having nerve enough for all that?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What can it be?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What can we do, Mr. Ford?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What do you suppose she does?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What is your wish?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What was going on at the house when you went back? ”"How should I know?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What was going on at the house when you went back? ”"How should I know?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What was she doing? ”"Nothing, sir.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ What? ” “ Of course it is.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Where did you expect to find Mrs. Stannard? ” “ Where I had left her, in the Billiard Room. ”"You left her there?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Where did you expect to find Mrs. Stannard? ” “ Where I had left her, in the Billiard Room. ”"You left her there?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Where next?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Which way? ” “ What a little inquisitor!
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Who changed it?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Who does know the whereabouts of those kept in the house? ” But nobody seemed to know.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Whom did you see?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Whom shall I ask? ” “ Captain Steele, or —""I am answered.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Why do you condemn her because of that? ”"Look at it squarely, Mrs. Faulkner.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Why should a great detective talk about such foolish details as large or small rooms?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Why, it was silk, I think,-yes, heavy silk, was n't it, Joyce? ” “ That, or a silk poplin.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Will you tell us then something of the personal relations of this household?
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Yes, and"And what? ” “ And guilty. ” Joyce said the words solemnly, as one unwillingly pronouncing a doom.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ Yes, sir, he spoke sort of whispered, in a gasp- ing way- “ And what did he say?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ You are interested?"
hvd.hn5sd9	“ You came down stairs just as Blake was peeping in at the door? ”"He was n't peeping.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ You killed Stannard? ” “ Yes, ” she said, and swayed as if she would fall to the floor.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ You left me here,—where did you go, Barry? ”"Off with Thor and Woden for a short tramp.
hvd.hn5sd9	“ You say you've thought of him before? ”"Only vaguely.
hvd.hn5sd9	“'Am I doing right?'
hvd.hn3i52	How did you find out — what you told me? ” “ That they ’re after you? ” “ No — the other."
hvd.hn3i52	How did you find out — what you told me? ” “ That they ’re after you? ” “ No — the other."
hvd.hn3i52	And this thing that stands between us is not that your father killed mine? ” she asked. hvd.hn3i52 Hard to quit, is n't it?"
hvd.hn3i52	He was sort of tall — I think, and — and slender. ” “ How was he dressed?
hvd.hn3i52	How did it change him?
hvd.hn3i52	I forgot to ask you,she went on, fingering the hot glass tentatively, “ if there is anybody in town you would like to have written to, or'phoned?
hvd.hn3i52	I see — you think I ought to give myself up to the police?
hvd.hn3i52	If I admit that, will you be satisfied? hvd.hn3i52 It- might have. ” “ What do you mean? ” He gave her a sharp stare.
hvd.hn3i52	Looks like the butt end of a gun was used, do n't it? ” he asked, glancing down at the dark bruise on the temple of the murdered man. hvd.hn3i52 Oh, you do know him? ” he returned eagerly.
hvd.hn3i52	Sure; what's in a name? ” he queried, chuckling. hvd.hn3i52 You've no clue as yet? ” Tim had asked.
hvd.hn3i52	'T is possible — who has not, I'd ask you? ” continued the doctor, when Cooley had put the question.
hvd.hn3i52	. “ Oh — you know that, do you? ” he said.
hvd.hn3i52	. “ What's the matter? ” gasped Tim.
hvd.hn3i52	1 “ Who is it? ” “ I do n't know, sah.

hvd.hn3i52	152 28 “ And where is he now? ” THE OTHER BROWN “ You met in Mexico City? ” the señora finally prompted.

hvd.hn3i52	43 “ Is that him?"
hvd.hn3i52	59 “ And where is he now? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	73 THE OTHER BROWN None of you know? ” He glared around the circle of faces, and as one after another the heads shook, he grunted his disgust.
hvd.hn3i52	95 THE OTHER BROWN “ Can you beat it?
hvd.hn3i52	: “ Where do you live? ” he asked, his pencil waiting.
hvd.hn3i52	A secret agent of his government?
hvd.hn3i52	After all, why not tell about the girl?
hvd.hn3i52	After an early dinner which the housekeeper had 58 “ Is that him?"
hvd.hn3i52	And I think you owe it to me to explain. ” “ For what you ’ ve done for me to- night? ” Brown 133 THE OTHER BROWN asked.
hvd.hn3i52	And notice how quick the other was to say she'd look after her?
hvd.hn3i52	And she has fainted sev- eral times because of it. ” “ But, is it dangerously weak? ” Tim persisted.
hvd.hn3i52	And she knows about Brown — notice how she jumped when I mentioned his name first?
hvd.hn3i52	And the man? ” “ It does n't say.
hvd.hn3i52	And this twenty thousand was all cash?
hvd.hn3i52	And was n't she being a fool now, fretting over what was done when she ought to be planning how best to undo it?
hvd.hn3i52	And where did you collect that valu- able news item? ” Tim's deceptively sleepy eyes wid- ened inquiringly.
hvd.hn3i52	And who then was Welles- Hewitt?
hvd.hn3i52	And who was that visitor?
hvd.hn3i52	And who'd ever think it with those soulful eyes of hers?
hvd.hn3i52	And why had he deserted his taxi for the elevated?
hvd.hn3i52	And why should he go to Spitzen to look up the history of the Mc- Raes if he is not the son? ” Here Scarbrough volunteered his opinion.
hvd.hn3i52	And why was the old house- keeper shielding him?
hvd.hn3i52	Any of you people notice anybody go out that front door in the last half- hour? ” There was a startled hush, then a woman spoke.
hvd.hn3i52	Anybody send you to me? ” Indeed, yes; some one had sent the applicant; a girl at the Young Women's Christian Association — such a nice girl.
hvd.hn3i52	Are you sure of it now? ” “ There has never been any doubt as to that, Mrs. Gil,"Redding answered.
hvd.hn3i52	Because I understand from the men who have seen her that she is very refined, charming, and modest. ” “ Is that so? ” said Johansen.
hvd.hn3i52	Been having trouble with the old man, eh? ” “ No.
hvd.hn3i52	Bianca Gil watched her silently for a time before she asked: “ Did n't he tell you anything about himself — or his family?"
hvd.hn3i52	Brown or Gil?
hvd.hn3i52	Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	But Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	But I'm tak- ing no chances this trip — understand? ” Scarbrough paused with a significant glance.
hvd.hn3i52	But THE OTHER BROWN was it a consonantal or a vowel sound that deviated from the normal?
hvd.hn3i52	But have you no idea what the reason was for the previous refusal to sell the mine? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	But how could I explain that to strangers?
hvd.hn3i52	But how?
hvd.hn3i52	But if Welles- Hewitt had cheated him, he had a motive for robbery, did n't he? ” “ You've told the police this, you say?"
hvd.hn3i52	But if Welles- Hewitt had cheated him, he had a motive for robbery, did n't he? ” “ You've told the police this, you say?"
hvd.hn3i52	But in the meantime what was to be done?
hvd.hn3i52	But no; she looked as if she knew perfectly what she was saying! “ Nana, what do you mean?
hvd.hn3i52	But nozzing. ” “ You Spanish, too? ” “ French, monsieur.
hvd.hn3i52	But there's Alba's story of the rescue of herself and her friends — I ca n't understand that, at all. ” “ Do n't you believe it? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	But what business?
hvd.hn3i52	But what connection could the rich Swedish- Amer- ican have with this case?
hvd.hn3i52	But what other?
hvd.hn3i52	But what possible business could there be between these two men at this hour?
hvd.hn3i52	But where was he going now?
hvd.hn3i52	But why would he never come to her home?
hvd.hn3i52	But with that crowd in the house it is n't surprising, is it, that something should go astray?
hvd.hn3i52	But would it be best to go to the in- spector?
hvd.hn3i52	But — must she lie to herself?
hvd.hn3i52	But — would Gil take the risk his silence involves for any innocent reasons?
hvd.hn3i52	CHAPTER II W HAT'S up, Tim? ” Dozy demanded breath- VV lessly, the instant he appeared.
hvd.hn3i52	Ca n't you see it would?
hvd.hn3i52	Ca n't you see that?
hvd.hn3i52	Can I?
hvd.hn3i52	Can you beat it? ” “ Well, you know now who was working inside,"said Tim.
hvd.hn3i52	Can you get along with Cooley? ” He eyed his new employee quizzically.
hvd.hn3i52	Could n't you see he did n't want to talk about it?"
hvd.hn3i52	Could n't you see that?
hvd.hn3i52	Could that dual personality case he was telling about be — himself?
hvd.hn3i52	Could they remember any- thing the other children had said about him?
hvd.hn3i52	Did he act strangely?
hvd.hn3i52	Did n't I tell you to say I'd gone out? ” “ Yas, sah, an'de gent’man say he know it, but he bleeged to talk to you des de same.
hvd.hn3i52	Did n't he know that a customer's affairs, if discussed at all, were to be discussed in the bosom of the bank family?
hvd.hn3i52	Did n't he tell you? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	Did n't you look at this?"
hvd.hn3i52	Did n't you notice how his manner changed after I told him that I had met Fred Brown in Mexico?
hvd.hn3i52	Did not the world know, was asked by these critics, how Sweden feared and hated Russia?
hvd.hn3i52	Did r't you think so? ” Tim assented absently.
hvd.hn3i52	Did she know, he wondered?
hvd.hn3i52	Did she — she, too, as well as the señora?
hvd.hn3i52	Did they all know him?
hvd.hn3i52	Did ye ever now see the loike o'them eyes?
hvd.hn3i52	Did you ever see her on the street? ” “ Not that I know of. ” “ Well, she knows Brown; but she would n't tell anything- defied Cooley.
hvd.hn3i52	Do n't you remember that?
hvd.hn3i52	Do n't you see?
hvd.hn3i52	Do n't you see? ” he added, wondering why she stared at him so hard.
hvd.hn3i52	Do you follow me? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	Do you imagine, then, that I am prompted by any other motive than to serve both our ends?
hvd.hn3i52	Do you know if he has had trouble with anybody lately? ”"He has had no serious trouble, I am sure.
hvd.hn3i52	Do you know this young man?"
hvd.hn3i52	Does he admit that he is the mur- derer?
hvd.hn3i52	Does that still hold?"
hvd.hn3i52	Down- stairs?
hvd.hn3i52	Excuse, please? ” she said and departed, paus- ing a moment in her downward flight to call back hos- pitably, “ Dinner ready! ”.
hvd.hn3i52	Feet warm? ” She satisfied herself on this important point; then pulled the covers up closely about the girl's shoulders.
hvd.hn3i52	For how long would it be wanted?
hvd.hn3i52	Had Mrs. Gil been long in New York?
hvd.hn3i52	Had he been having trouble with anybody lately, trouble about business — or anything else? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn3i52	Had he been murdered to pre- vent his going to Mexico, or to secure certain papers in his possession?
hvd.hn3i52	Had he met the latter after the murder, learned of the encounter with Dozy, and come back to find out how much the police knew?
hvd.hn3i52	Had n't he given his word?
hvd.hn3i52	Had she not once been tempted to marry a man she did not care for just to escape it?
hvd.hn3i52	Had they liked him?
hvd.hn3i52	Have the police made a thorough search?
hvd.hn3i52	Have they got him?
hvd.hn3i52	Have you never heard of it before? ” returned Mrs. Gil.
hvd.hn3i52	Have you no maid here to help you? ” At the question Inspector Cooley gave a start and looked around.
hvd.hn3i52	He drank, you mean? ” “ Well — yes, ” Brown answered after a moment.
hvd.hn3i52	He had taken all his things away, and nobody in the house knew anything — ” “ Then they have no clue?
hvd.hn3i52	He knows Brown did it. ” “ Knows! ” “ Oh, not that way — not as the police think?"
hvd.hn3i52	He said he knew he did n't, Tim. ” “ Knew it?
hvd.hn3i52	He said it was in his family! ” “ What's that? ” Startled in turn, Scarbrough stared.
hvd.hn3i52	He was interested in the mine? ”"Very much, At first I thought he might be in 228 THE OTHER BROWN love with Miss Yznaga, or after her money.
hvd.hn3i52	Hello, who's this? ” The last remark was elicited by the sounds of move- ment and of voices in the hall.
hvd.hn3i52	How could she love him?
hvd.hn3i52	How could they be expected to, in- deed, after thirty- five years?
hvd.hn3i52	How did you find the old town? ”"Oh, same as ever.
hvd.hn3i52	How did you know?"
hvd.hn3i52	How do you know the man you met on the train and who impressed you so favorably is the man your friend Cullop saw after the murder?
hvd.hn3i52	How had he come to such a place?
hvd.hn3i52	How many customers did he think the Pan- American could retain if it took to babbling?
hvd.hn3i52	How old was he?
hvd.hn3i52	How then had Mrs. Gil heard of it?
hvd.hn3i52	How was he dressed? ” She waited.
hvd.hn3i52	How was he dressed? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	How? ” “ Why — changing his mind like I told you.
hvd.hn3i52	How? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	I can see you at once? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	I did not know their names. ” “ What business did they come for? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	I do n't know who she is. ” “ What's your name, and who are you? ” asked Cooley gruffly.
hvd.hn3i52	I told you, you remember, that he took me mo- toring several times?
hvd.hn3i52	I wanted to give it back to them in payment of Carl's debt. ” “ The Rosalba?
hvd.hn3i52	I was buying the Rosalba mine for Lars Johansen — he'll tell you so. ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hn3i52	I was just having an in- teresting discussion with Mr. —? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	I wonder why?"
hvd.hn3i52	I'm sure of it. ” “ You see? ” snapped Cooley.
hvd.hn3i52	I've just got to the elopement, when she's in the abnormal state, you remember?
hvd.hn3i52	If Gil, what evidence was there against him?
hvd.hn3i52	If I had n't taken the bold course I did, where would we have been now? ” said Fred.
hvd.hn3i52	If Welles- Hewitt's testimony convicted his father, he would naturally hate him, would n't he?
hvd.hn3i52	If he was not there to murder or rob, what was he there for? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	If his father killed her father, was n't that reason enough?
hvd.hn3i52	If you have any pride you will put him out of your mind and — think of others. ” “ Others? ” Alba echoed, not catching the drift of the plea.
hvd.hn3i52	Is it about Gil? ” Johansen nodded.
hvd.hn3i52	Is n't that so? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	It was curly and sort of mussed up. ” “ How about his height and weight? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	Johansen, has it occurred to you that this Brown may be McRae's son? ” Lars Johansen smiled faintly.
hvd.hn3i52	Just how did it change him?
hvd.hn3i52	Kind of free and easy way to talk to a strange man in a strange house, was n't it? ” The boy laughed nervously.
hvd.hn3i52	Known him long? ” Cooley inquired.
hvd.hn3i52	Let us talk about it a little —"“ Wait?
hvd.hn3i52	May I ask where she is? ” Grudgingly Cooley supplied the information.
hvd.hn3i52	Might he not think she had made up the story to conceal the truth?
hvd.hn3i52	Might it not add a second mistake to the first?
hvd.hn3i52	Mrs. Martinez insisted that I go out; I had been in the house all — ” “ She insisted?"
hvd.hn3i52	No decent fellow would let a girl get herself in wrong for him. ” “ And you'll see her soon?
hvd.hn3i52	None of you ever talk to him? ” “ I've passed good- evening on the stairs,"answered the man who had spoken before.
hvd.hn3i52	Oh, why had she let that escape her?
hvd.hn3i52	Or had he grown suddenly cautious, desirous of con- cealing his movements?
hvd.hn3i52	Ought he not tell the whole truth about his meeting Brown on Mrs. Malone's steps and their talk afterwards, and about the message to Miss Yznaga?
hvd.hn3i52	Ought n't we to go up and see about her? ” “ In a minute.
hvd.hn3i52	Our meeting on the train the other evening was luck for both of us. ” “ Luck? ” Eric echoed the word doubtfully.
hvd.hn3i52	See?
hvd.hn3i52	See?"
hvd.hn3i52	She may not know that Cullop saw the man, so why tell her?
hvd.hn3i52	She says there ai n't anything; but you know how suspicious the two of'em acted, do n't you?
hvd.hn3i52	Since you have been in touch with Welles- Hewitt so long, per- haps you know something of his housekeeper, Mrs. Martinez?
hvd.hn3i52	So that was what she had been suspicious of all along?
hvd.hn3i52	So this morning I took the money to the bank- naturally. ” “ And this man you got it from — what is his name and business?"
hvd.hn3i52	Something has happened to the Señor?
hvd.hn3i52	Spanish?
hvd.hn3i52	Speech all right?"
hvd.hn3i52	Spitzen?
hvd.hn3i52	Still living with your uncle up town? ”"Uh- huh.
hvd.hn3i52	Tastes a little bitter?
hvd.hn3i52	Tell him what you have just told me ” “ Then you wo n't help me? ” “ But, Mrs. Gil — what can I do? ” he protested kindly.
hvd.hn3i52	Tell him what you have just told me ” “ Then you wo n't help me? ” “ But, Mrs. Gil — what can I do? ” he protested kindly.
hvd.hn3i52	That everything was fixed up for the deal — papers signed?
hvd.hn3i52	That is, he did n't put it just that way. ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hn3i52	That was what his friend had said, and was she to have less faith, less patience, than a friend?
hvd.hn3i52	That?
hvd.hn3i52	The Yznaga mine was once Mc- Rae's? ” asked Redding, surprised.
hvd.hn3i52	The dining- room's below, my boy — just hurry a bit, will you?
hvd.hn3i52	Then how can you refuse to help him?
hvd.hn3i52	Then how could he remember that he had remernbered? ” Dozy looked blank.
hvd.hn3i52	Then what have you gained by this test?
hvd.hn3i52	Then what was she to do?
hvd.hn3i52	Then you know something? ” “ No; I ca n't say that I do.
hvd.hn3i52	There is something the district attorney wishes me to hear, some sort of explanation. ” “ From — him?"
hvd.hn3i52	They know nothing except his name and what he looks like?"
hvd.hn3i52	To- morrow morning? ” “ Yes. ” “ Thanks, old man.
hvd.hn3i52	Un- derstand?"
hvd.hn3i52	Understand? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hn3i52	Understand?"
hvd.hn3i52	Understand?"
hvd.hn3i52	Was Germany backing Mex- ico in her defiance of the United States?
hvd.hn3i52	Was Gil 103 THE OTHER BROWN an accomplice of Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	Was Nana out of her head after all?
hvd.hn3i52	Was he a fool?
hvd.hn3i52	Was he a good- natured boy?
hvd.hn3i52	Was he dif- ferent from other boys?
hvd.hn3i52	Was he going so far down town that the question of expense had influenced him?
hvd.hn3i52	Was he quick- tempered?
hvd.hn3i52	Was it cold?
hvd.hn3i52	Was it pos- sible, he asked himself, that the rabid, pro- British newspapers were right?
hvd.hn3i52	Was it the words themselves, or the emphasis, or just the 7 THE OTHER BROWN speaker's unusual accent?
hvd.hn3i52	Was it true that the girl had sought employment in the house only for the purpose of aiding the murderer?
hvd.hn3i52	Was n't that what you went into the room for? ” “ Why — yes — of course, ” stammered poor Dozy.
hvd.hn3i52	Was that it? ” “ I — I ca n't discuss it."
hvd.hn3i52	Was the money stolen, sir? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	We just looked at each other, both of us sort of surprised and —"“ You got a good look at him then?
hvd.hn3i52	Well?
hvd.hn3i52	Well? ” “ That's all, ” said Gil with another shrug.
hvd.hn3i52	What are you doing here?
hvd.hn3i52	What are you doing here? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hn3i52	What are you going to do now? ” “ Well, if it's up to me,"said Tim, “ I'm going to Spitzen."
hvd.hn3i52	What could it be that could do that?
hvd.hn3i52	What could that detective Scarbrough have found out there?
hvd.hn3i52	What do you know about love?
hvd.hn3i52	What do you understand?"
hvd.hn3i52	What do you want here? ” she 51 THE OTHER BROWN asked.
hvd.hn3i52	What else could bring Gil there at such a time, as 104 THE OTHER BROWN straight and fast as he could come?
hvd.hn3i52	What else could he think?
hvd.hn3i52	What else did they find out?"
hvd.hn3i52	What had Dr. Tierney said about Nana — that the police believed she knew Eric Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	What had brought Gil to that house?
hvd.hn3i52	What happened then? ” asked Cooley.
hvd.hn3i52	What happens when she changes back to her normal person- ality and finds out she is married to the man who ruined her sister?
hvd.hn3i52	What has hap- pened? ” she cried.
hvd.hn3i52	What has he to do with — this? ” She made a fleeting gesture toward the back room.
hvd.hn3i52	What if you have proved that Welles- Hewitt killed Yznaga and put the blame on this man's father?
hvd.hn3i52	What in the name of decency made you keep after him until he had to admit it was in his own family?
hvd.hn3i52	What is it? ” There was a pause.
hvd.hn3i52	What is my name? ” Juana Martinez stared out in terror, but did not speak.
hvd.hn3i52	What kind of hair and eyes had he?
hvd.hn3i52	What papers?
hvd.hn3i52	What was he hesitating for?
hvd.hn3i52	What was he in for now?
hvd.hn3i52	What was his connection with the murder?
hvd.hn3i52	What was it?
hvd.hn3i52	What was it? ” “ It was about the — the terms of payment. ” “ I see.
hvd.hn3i52	What was that scream? ” 40 THE OTHER BROWN Dozy stumbled limply down the steps to meet him.
hvd.hn3i52	What was the thing he would not tell her, the thing that stood between them, that might even, he had said, separate them as long as they lived?
hvd.hn3i52	What was the'escape of one guilty man compared with the peace of a nation?
hvd.hn3i52	What would Tim say, and what ought he to answer?
hvd.hn3i52	What's that? ” The physician turned and looked down in surprise at the girl beside him.
hvd.hn3i52	What's the matter with him? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	What's the matter?
hvd.hn3i52	What's the story? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	What's up?
hvd.hn3i52	When you came in here, you saw a man coming out of that room?"
hvd.hn3i52	Where did he come in?
hvd.hn3i52	Where did you get the money?'
hvd.hn3i52	Where did you go when you went out this evening? ” “ Mademoiselle has told you — to church."
hvd.hn3i52	Where had he seen her before, this slender, graceful, charmning woman with the pale, delicate face?
hvd.hn3i52	Where was he when you first saw him? ” “ Pretty near the door, I think, — the hall door,- because we almost ran into each other.
hvd.hn3i52	Where was she?
hvd.hn3i52	Where would it stop?
hvd.hn3i52	Where? ” “ Over by the park will be best, I think.
hvd.hn3i52	Who do you think killed him?
hvd.hn3i52	Who was Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	Who was it? ” She did not answer, but turned away, and as if mechanically, her hand lifted and again she swiftly crossed herself.
hvd.hn3i52	Who?
hvd.hn3i52	Who? ” “ The man.
hvd.hn3i52	Why could he not come to her himself instead of sending a stranger?
hvd.hn3i52	Why could he not speak out and clear himself of the terrible suspicion that had fallen upon him?
hvd.hn3i52	Why could n't Tim leave him alone anyhow?
hvd.hn3i52	Why did n't they tell my mother that? ” “ Your mother! ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hn3i52	Why do n't you go to him?
hvd.hn3i52	Why does n't he tell them?
hvd.hn3i52	Why had Gil concealed the fact of that first call?
hvd.hn3i52	Why should any one steal them?
hvd.hn3i52	Why should n't it be used for the innocent?
hvd.hn3i52	Why the girl?
hvd.hn3i52	Why — what the devil?
hvd.hn3i52	Why?
hvd.hn3i52	Why?
hvd.hn3i52	Why? ” “ Because I — I did n't expect to see — anybody and ” “ You did n't expect to see anybody?
hvd.hn3i52	Why? ” “ Because I — I did n't expect to see — anybody and ” “ You did n't expect to see anybody?
hvd.hn3i52	Will you just have the goodness to call up your office and get a coroner here so that we can get ahead a bit?
hvd.hn3i52	Will you keep my secret? ” “ I — I ca n't promise that, ” faltered Dozy.
hvd.hn3i52	Will you, Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	Wo n't it be pie for the experts?
hvd.hn3i52	Wo n't it? ” An involuntary smile lighted Alba's eyes.
hvd.hn3i52	Would any sign of recognition be exchanged between them?
hvd.hn3i52	Would he look up when Brown passed?
hvd.hn3i52	Would that be best for him?
hvd.hn3i52	Would you know him again? ” Cooley asked.
hvd.hn3i52	Would you mind coming over to the other side of the room?
hvd.hn3i52	You are at home now, are you?
hvd.hn3i52	You know the type? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	You know this Brown?
hvd.hn3i52	You live here? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	You're not after him?"
hvd.hn3i52	You've heard of that, of course? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hn3i52	You've heard that?
hvd.hn3i52	that must have been where he was going! ”"He?
hvd.hn3i52	where'd you come from?
hvd.hn3i52	· Nana?
hvd.hn3i52	“ A doctor? ” the young man echoed in surprise.
hvd.hn3i52	“ About ten minutes ago. ” “ A man?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Afraid of whom? ” “ Of me. ” “ Of you? ” Mrs. Martinez nodded her head solemnly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Afraid of whom? ” “ Of me. ” “ Of you? ” Mrs. Martinez nodded her head solemnly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Ah, back is she?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And he did n't answer you?'
hvd.hn3i52	“ And he sent you a message, you say? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And he sold it to Yznaga? ” “ Sold it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And he sold it to Yznaga? ” “ Sold it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And how did he put it? ” “ He was thinking of you, not himself, when he asked me to come.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And just how did it affect him?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ And may I ask you why you left your cab and took the elevated? ” The Mexican's shoulders again shot up.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And stick to your story — hear? ” Dozy nodded, astonished, but infinitely relieved.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And they found out his name was — Brown. ” “ What else?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And this message was that she was not to worry about him, that he would soon be able to clear him- self? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And what is done with the insane?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And what was that? ” Again a silence.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And when did you meet the young man next? ” he inquired as if it were the most obvious question in the world.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And why did I kill him?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And why did he run away? ” Miles Redding glanced quizzically at the circle of expectant faces.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And why did n't you tell me this yesterday?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And will you do nothing to defend yourself — nothing at all?
hvd.hn3i52	“ And you remember nothing after your arrival in New York? ” the latter asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And you saw no signs of any one about up- stairs, you say?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ And you say you did n't know these people well? ” he questioned.
hvd.hn3i52	“ And you've no idea at all who could have done this job?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Any of you know anything about this man?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Anybody left here in the last half- hour?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Are you implying that the papers were stolen? ” “ Stolen?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Are you implying that the papers were stolen? ” “ Stolen?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Are you listen- ing?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ At once?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Brown? ” “ Why- I do n't know if that's his name--"“ Cut it, kid, ” said Scarbrough.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But I can not try to influence him or to 332 THE OTHER BROWN “ You? ” Her lips formed the word, but she was too breathless to make a sound.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But I did n't expect to — to bump right into them. ” “ And did you bump into this man? ” demanded the inspector.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But are n't you go- ing to question the maid? ” “ Sure. ” Cooley beckoned to the girl.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But how is Nana? ” Alba asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But if I trust you, I think you should trust me. ” “ Tell you who I am, you mean?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But if he got into the house by the roof, who was it Welles- Hewitt let in, do you think? ” Tim ques- tioned.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But if she was in on the thing, why did she scream? ” “ Oh, I dope that out this way,"Cooley answered with ready resource.

hvd.hn3i52	“ But the housekeeper, Scarbrough, — what's your opinion about her? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But what about Brown? ” protested the bank president, voicing the general dissatisfaction at this abrupt ending.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But what does the sister do?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But why do you ask about him?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But why should I tell the police anything?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But will her physician permit that? ” “ Oh, yes, I think so,"she answered quietly, though he noticed that she avoided his eyes.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But you will let me speak to him alone? ” Alba insisted anxiously.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But you'll have to postpone it till we locate that Mrs. Harris and get her story. ” “ Why not go there now, Inspector?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But — I told him. ” “ You?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But — does he really want me to tell them about him?
hvd.hn3i52	“ But'what have you to tell me? ” he added, growing a little impatient at this preamble.
hvd.hn3i52	“ But, of course, you did n't hear about last night — about the police questioning me? ”"No,"said Bianca.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Can you believe that man's absurd story?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Carl Johan – Oh!- Oh! ” “ What is it? ” He took a step toward her.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Could it be?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Could you meet me somewhere to- night?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Could you see him?

hvd.hn3i52	“ Did he leave this? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did he say anything to you?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did he tell you he had a reason? ” “ I will not answer any more questions."
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did many people come here to see him? ” “ No, not many.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did n't he give you his card or name?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did n't you see — any one else of the family? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did that whiskey flask give you any clue? ” Cooley grunted in assent.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did you see that he was lying?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Did you understand? ” she began excitedly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do n't you find it warm in this car?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do you happen to know who that is? ” he asked, looking over at Tim.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do you know who I am? ” came back at once.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do you really think all this could have been — just luck?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do you think Miss Yznaga knows where he is?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do you think it could be that — double personality? ” “ No, I do n't, ” said Tim.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Do? ” “ About me."
hvd.hn3i52	“ Down- stairs? ” she repeated, frowning at him wonderingly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Duty?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Ever been to Mexico? ” Brown nodded.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Had dinner? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Had he an enemy?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Has Mrs. Mar- tinez a very weak heart?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Have you seen her this morning? ” “ Yes, and she is not as well as I expected to find her.
hvd.hn3i52	“ He had to say something, did n't he, to explain his presence in the house?
hvd.hn3i52	“ He is- dead? ” “ Yes. ” She gave a smothered scream and would have fallen had Dozy not caught her.
hvd.hn3i52	“ He said he had business that would take him out of town a good deal. ” “ What kind of business? ”"I did n't ask.
hvd.hn3i52	“ He told you everything, of course? ” he ventured to ask.
hvd.hn3i52	“ He's English, I think. ” 72 THE OTHER BROWN “ English, huh?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Hello, Kaukie, what's up?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ How did he know? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ How do I know you are telling me the truth? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ How do you want it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ How does he know what I did last night?
hvd.hn3i52	“ How does it end?
hvd.hn3i52	“ How is she? ” Bianca asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ How long did you stay there? ” Amélie Gabet's lips parted to answer, but closed again as she glanced over at her mistress.
hvd.hn3i52	“ How long these people been dancing here? ” “ Ever since dinner, ” said Mrs. Malone.
hvd.hn3i52	“ How long you been working here? ” “ Just a week, monsieur."
hvd.hn3i52	“ How was your dinner?
hvd.hn3i52	“ However, about your man, Mr. Brown, just how did he come out with his two selves?
hvd.hn3i52	“ I am Spanish. ” “ Who lives here? ” “ Señor Welles- Hewitt and his daughter. ” “ Is he Spanish?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ I am Spanish. ” “ Who lives here? ” “ Señor Welles- Hewitt and his daughter. ” “ Is he Spanish?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ I do n't think you fin- ished your message? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ I do n't understand. ” “ You do n't, eh? ” he answered, his eyes leveled on her suspiciously.
hvd.hn3i52	“ I had told him this about Alba, and he was tempted — you can under- stand that?
hvd.hn3i52	“ I just said: “ Why, hello — you live here?'”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ I understand that she is ill from shock, and the doctor wo n't permit her to be questioned. ” “ The doctor?
hvd.hn3i52	“ I've read several my- self — the doctors'reports, you mean?
hvd.hn3i52	“ I, monsieur?
hvd.hn3i52	“ I- I beg your pardon? ” “ How can I tell, ” she explained, “ that you come from him at all — that you were not sent here by the police?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ I- I beg your pardon? ” “ How can I tell, ” she explained, “ that you come from him at all — that you were not sent here by the police?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ If he's innocent, what are you afraid of? ” he retorted.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is it Mr. Scarbrough? ” he questioned.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is it true that his father killed mine? ” “ Yes — it must be.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is n't that true? ” she challenged.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is she dead too? ” There was tense horror in the question.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is that an unusual deposit for Gil?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is that him? ” Cooley asked, and she lowered her head in assent.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is that so?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Is that you, Cullop?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ It could n't very well end any other way, could it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ It was my duty, was n't it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ It was something of his and — ” “ Papers?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ It's unfortunate that she ca n't be made to talk. ” “ Made to talk?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Just how is he mixed up in it? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Just how was the man you saw in the house different from the other?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Know anything about this man Brown?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Know it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Know where he is?
hvd.hn3i52	“ May we sit down again? ”"Explanation? ” Bianca repeated.
hvd.hn3i52	“ May we sit down again? ”"Explanation? ” Bianca repeated.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Mexican? ” THE OTHER BROWN “ No. ” She frowned and straightened herself.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Miss Yznaga? ” Dozier Cullop inquired formally, although he felt sure the minute he saw her great velvety eyes that it was she.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Mose, who lives in the corner house at the other end of the block?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Nana, what does it all mean?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Never heard Miss Yznaga speak of him?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ No idea. ” “ Looks like a Mexican, do n't you think so? ” “ Yes, rather,"Scarbrough hesitated.
hvd.hn3i52	“ No, English. ” “ Is he the dead man? ” She did not reply to that, and Scarbrough spoke.
hvd.hn3i52	“ No, monsieur. ” “ Never heard of him?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ No, not a word — just bolted out of the room and up- ” 65 THE OTHER BROWN u S “ Did n't you say anything either?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Notice that? ” “ Notice it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Notice that? ” “ Notice it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Now how do you propose to work?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Remember the man who passed our table in the dining- car this evening, the one who spoke to Brown? ” Dozy nodded.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Rosalba?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Señor McRae. ” “ When did you see me last? ” “ Three nights ago — when you killed the señor."
hvd.hn3i52	“ She had fainted — from fright, Tim Scarbrough thought. ” “ Scarbrough? ” “ He was there.
hvd.hn3i52	“ She knows more than she will admit, so do n't you think it will be wiser not to ask me or Cullop anything in her hearing?
hvd.hn3i52	“ She was in love with Welles- Hewitt and not with her husband — is n't that true?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Sit down, wo n't you? ” he invited instead, pulling a chair out from the table.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Stenography?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Sure of that? ” he snapped when he got a negative reply.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Sure you bolted that trap when you came down? ” questioned Tim.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Tell me, was your mother American, and did she have a boarding house in Mexico City?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ That you came in personal contact with?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ The inspector thinks that Nana knows this man Brown. ” “ Nana?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Then his name was on the pa- pers you speak of, not yours?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Then you admit that he was forcing him? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Then you came right back here? ” “ Yes, monsieur."
hvd.hn3i52	“ Then, ” she went on, as if she had put into words what had gone before, “ he asked: “ What is your name?
hvd.hn3i52	“ To Señora Gil?
hvd.hn3i52	“ To prevent the sale, you think?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Wants to plead insanity, does he?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Was he robbed?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Was he the man she saw?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Was it a man or a woman? ” “ A man."
hvd.hn3i52	“ Was the Señora Yznaga there all the time? ” Brown questioned.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Was the change in him very noticeable?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well — I know all about it. ” “ How?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well — running away is a confession of guilt, is n't it?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well — what's his first name? ” “ I do n't know. ” 83 THE OTHER BROWN never!
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well, maybe you do n't, but you got some suspicion, have n't you?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well, not quite — I almost did though. ” “ Think you'd know him if you saw him again? ”"I — do n't know.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well, what do you know about that?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well, what is it? ” he said, a trifle belligerently.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well, what's the matter? ” It was the patrolman inquiring.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well? ” he asked expectantly when Dozy did not reply.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well? ” prompted Cooley irritably.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well? ” she said at last, reverting suddenly to her former noncommittal tone.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well? ” she said then; and, when Alba still hesitated, her face white and alarmed, she cried out: “ You see you see!
hvd.hn3i52	“ Well? ” the inspector prompted.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What are you doing here? ” Closely for several moments Scarbrough studied the brown, wrinkled face before he replied.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What are you doing in this house? ” Breathlessly Dozy began to explain, but half- way through Tim cut him off.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What are you going to do? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What are you?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What did 129 · THE OTHER BROWN you mean when you said you knew it was n't I- that you understood?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What did happen then? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What did he say?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ What did you say a thing like that for? ” asked his inquisitor.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What did — he say?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ What difference could it have made?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What do you know about that French girl? ” he snapped angrily.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What do you know about this affair? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What do you make of it?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ What do you want to tell me then? ” she de- manded.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What happened?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What has she done? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What is it you wish to tell me?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ What is it? ” said Scarbrough, staring.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What is your chief's number? ” he inquired of Tim, then re- peated the figures into the telephone and hung up.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What kind of room do you want? ” she asked when the approach had been effected.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What name is that?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What number? ” Scarbrough asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What paper is this?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What proof? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What reason? ” “ I do n't know. ” She gave a little shrug.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What sort of man? ” Dozy hesitated.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What time did this Brown come in to- night?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What was Brown doing in the house?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What was his name? ” “ Carl. ” “ Carl Johansen? ” She seemed to listen to the sound the name made.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What was his name? ” “ Carl. ” “ Carl Johansen? ” She seemed to listen to the sound the name made.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What was that package he handed you last night? ” demanded Scarbrough abruptly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What was your maiden name? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's he look like? ” “ He's tall, slim, dark- complected — ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's that? ” Cooley came back at him sharply, and Dozy had to repeat the words, which he tried to toss off lightly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's the matter? ” She waved him back.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's the matter? ” asked Dozy.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's the name of — well, do you know the name of anybody living near the other end of the block? ” Dozy demanded desperately.
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's the reason he would n't come here?
hvd.hn3i52	“ What's up now?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ When did it happen?
hvd.hn3i52	“ When do you expect the daughter back? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ When is it you wish to come?
hvd.hn3i52	“ When you told Scarbrough and me about that case of dual personality in your family, were n't you talking about yourself?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Where did you meet him, dear? ” she asked when she saw Alba turning back to her.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Where does this Brown live? ” “ I do n't know. ”"What's his business? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.hn3i52	“ Where does this Brown live? ” “ I do n't know. ”"What's his business? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.hn3i52	“ Where is he now?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Where is he now? ” Cooley demanded, ignoring her question.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Where is she? ” “ I could n't say, sir,"Fogarty replied with a puz- zled frown.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Which one?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who are you?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who are you? ” she asked again more firmly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who did it, if you did n't?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who is he? ” “ Yes, and what does he look like? ” “ Look like? ” she echoed again, blankly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who is he? ” “ Yes, and what does he look like? ” “ Look like? ” she echoed again, blankly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who is he? ” “ Yes, and what does he look like? ” “ Look like? ” she echoed again, blankly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who is he?'
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who is the man? ” demanded Cooley sharply.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who was it that came before?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who will come? ” Alba questioned after a long pause, not daring more than the softest whisper.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Who will come?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Whom did you see? ”.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why did n't the people you sent say he was your son?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why do you ask me that?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why do you ask? ” she retorted, her own tone sharpening.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why not? ” he repeated.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why not? ” “ He's no crook. ” “ Took a fancy to him, eh?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why not? ” “ He's no crook. ” “ Took a fancy to him, eh?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why — is that so? ” she puffed, staring at her informer.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why — yes. ” “ Quite sure? ” “ Why — yes, ” Dozy faltered again.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Why?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Will you change that, please? ” he requested courteously, passing in a hundred- dollar bill.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Will you come into my room again?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Word of honor, kid, that the man you saw in the house was not the one we met?"
hvd.hn3i52	“ Would n't it be a good idea to get this point set- tled before the coroner comes?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Would you be so good as to ask Mr. Cullop to come to see me?
hvd.hn3i52	“ Would you like the doctor? ” Alba shook her head.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Wrong house? ” echoed the boy blankly.
hvd.hn3i52	“ Yes?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You English just ca n't bear to be comfortable, can you? ” he asked as he turned back with a laugh to Brown.
hvd.hn3i52	“ You did n't know that? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3i52	“ You like? ” she inquired with the full- throated vowels of her native tongue.
hvd.hn3i52	“ You quarreled?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You remember nothing?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You say he acted funny?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You say you came here to see the old man on business?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You see, I only saw him for a second and I was so sur- prised — ” “ Surprised?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You seem to be cold. ” Cold?
hvd.hn3i52	“ You — know now? ” he added, with sudden interest, giving his companion a curious glance.
hvd.hn3i52	“ You're very much in- terested in the case, are n't you? ” Tim smiled.
hvd.hn3i52	“ You've been talking to him; did n’t he tell you? ” “ No; he did n't, ” said Tim with assumed asperity.
hvd.hn3i52	“ You've read it?"
hvd.hn3i52	” “ Got whom? ” “ Why — the man they were after."
hvd.hn3i52	” “ Yes, sir. ” “ How about the denominations?"

hvd.hxdjn9	Why do n't you explain? ” He could feel her groping away from him in the darkness.
hvd.hxdjn9	Why do n't you speak? ” There was a moment of unbroken silence.
hvd.hxdjn9	Why had no inkling of it crept to his 2I PHANTOM WIRES ears?
hvd.hxdjn9	Why had she weakened and surrendered, when he himself, the oldtime weakling of the two, had clung so desperately to the narrow path of rectitude?
hvd.hxdjn9	Why, should you want to punish him? ” argued Frank, help- lessly.
hvd.hxdjn9	Yet for what?
hvd.hxdjn9	Yet for what?
hvd.hxdjn9	that all this fine bravado was an attitude, a rôle, a pretense, taken on for his sake?
hvd.hxdjn9	|??
hvd.hxdjn9	|??
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Alone? ” she had retorted.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ And do you understand what it would imply — what it would mean? ” he asked slowly and with significant emphasis.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ And you always travel alone? ” he finally asked, shaking off the last of his reserve.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ And you do n't want to lay a charge? ” the po- liceman demanded, as he angrily elbowed back the ever intruding circle.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ And you like Genoa 2 I mean, is there any- thing to like in this place? ” he asked companion- ably.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ And you realize what it means? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Are n't you an American? ” he was asking, al- most hopefully, it seemed to her.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Are you on? ” reiterated the watching man.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Are you on? ” taunted MacNutt.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But MacNutt — where's MacNutt? ” demanded Durkin, coming to a stop.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But does it make any difference what I have been, or who I am? ” the woman's voice was ask- ing.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But for the love o'God, who's been doin'things to you? ” he went on, in amazement, as he saw the bruised and bleeding and ash- colored face.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But here — how did you get here — and what's this Lady Boxspur business? ” he still insisted.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But how did you get here? ” he still de- manded.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But where are we going? ”- “ I ’ll tell you on the way down.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But where will I meet you? ” She pondered a moment.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ But why should I wait? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Ca n't I?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Ca n't you trust me? ” she pleaded.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Can you come now? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Can you walk? ” She signalled, yes.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Could I assist you, madam? ” he asked, close to her side by this time.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Do n’t you know where he's taking me?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Do n’t you understand?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Do you care, then? ” he panted, 75 PHANTOM WIRES He could hear the quick catch of her breath.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Do you know what you and I ought to be doing, at this mo- ment?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Do you think I could? ” she murmured, with a ghost of a sigh.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ God? ” moaned the defeated and unhappy man at her side, dragging painfully on with his bruised and bitter body.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Have we lost them? ” he asked huskily, child- ishly.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Have you a lamp, or a light of any kind, Miss Allen? ” was the next curt, businesslike question.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Have you everything? ” whispered Frank, who had once more pinned on the plumed hat, and was already listening at the panel of the hall door.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ He ’s here, you mean? ” “ He ’s in Genoa.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ How much have you lost? ” he asked over his shoulder.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ I do — but are we to let Kee- nan go, when we have him so close to us? ” “ Then go ahead and both capture and captivate him!
hvd.hxdjn9	“ I know it — but I dare n't run the risk — now! ” “ Why not now?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ I wonder, ” said Frank, after a long silence, “ how often we shall be able to do this sort of thing?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Is it worth while — now? ” demurred the other.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Is she a frequenter of poolrooms? ” Durkin hesitated, this time, and weighed his anSWer.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Is that all? ” “ Yes, everything. ” “ In Naples, in five days? ” “ Yes; the Hôtel de Londres.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Is that all? ” “ Yes, everything. ” “ In Naples, in five days? ” “ Yes; the Hôtel de Londres.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Is there much at stake, signorina? ” he asked, at last, as she paused for breath.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ It may sound theatrical, and you may laugh at me, but will you take possession of these papers for me, for a few days?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ It ’s the papers, the Gibraltar papers! ” “ Papers? ” he repeated wonderingly.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ It ’s too late, already! ” “ Then you do n't care? ” he demanded, almost brokenly.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ It ’s you! ” “ But, my God, how ’ll you get out of this? ” he 74 OUR FRIEND THE ENEMY demanded, in a quick whisper.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Jim, ” she said suddenly, “ why should we play this waiting and retreating game during the next two weeks?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Kind o'recalls our first meetin', eh? ” de- manded MacNutt, as he watched the other slowly open his wondering eyes.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Madam, have you thought, or do you now know, what the cost of this will be to you? ” He was towering over her now.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Miss Allen, are you here?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ My God, Frank, what is it? ” There was no response, no answering movement or gesture.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Now what? ” she asked, with her eyes turned 275 THE LAST DITCH ment.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Oh, I ’m a bit of a globe- trotter — that's what you'd call me on your side of the ocean, is n’t it?

hvd.hxdjn9	“ See, he's coming tol ’ ” “ Are you ready? ” Durkin demanded sharply.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ That play got on your nerves, did n't it? ” Sud- denly asked the lazy, half- careless voice at his side.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ The Riggi — what's that, please? ” “ That's the restaurant up on the hill. ” She hesi- tated and turned back, before unlocking her door.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ The- railing — is — charged “ Charged? ” he repeated, as the last word shaped itself in his questioning brain.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Then what about Pobloff? ” he suddenly asked.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Then why are you in this room? ” “ I mean that I ’ve given up myself.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Then why not take me out of it, and keep me out of it? ” she demanded, with a cold directness that brought him wheeling about on her.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ This is n't buttin'in — this is takin'care o'my own friends! ”- “ Friend o'yours, then, is he? ” queried the weak- ening driver.

hvd.hxdjn9	“ Well, why could n't I?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Well? ” he asked anxiously.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What are you doing here? ” she demanded at last.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What are you doing that for? ” Keenan de- manded of him.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What danger? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What greater crown may one hope for, in any activity of life, than a beautiful woman? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What has God to do with all this — or with us? ” She could not answer.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What sort of work? ” his wife was asking him.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What, in the name of heaven, do you want in here?
hvd.hxdjn9	“ What, madam, did you come here for? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Where is the Captain of the Port, then? ” she demanded.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Where'd you get a license for buttin'in on this? ” expostulated the surprised driver.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Who are they? ” asked the youth.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Why did n't you write? ” she pleaded pitifully.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Will the gentleman speak up and explain? ” No answer came out of the darkness.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Will you come in? ” she asked, holding the door wide for him.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Will you take the risk? ” the man was asking.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Wo n't you be reasonable? ” she was saying, and her voice sounded faint and far away.
hvd.hxdjn9	“ Yes, back safe and sound! ” “ But tired, I know? ” “ Yes — a little.

hvd.hwkq8p	And did he do so? ” inquired Rachel, looking with interest into her own eyes in the glass. hvd.hwkq8p And do you still desire to dine with us? ” inquired his host at last.
hvd.hwkq8p	And have I said I was in love with you?
hvd.hwkq8p	Are you still speaking for the district? ” inquired Rachel, conquering a recreant lip to put the question, and putting it with her finest scorn. hvd.hwkq8p Do you think she would trust me? ” he almost whispered, leaning towards her.
hvd.hwkq8p	Have you heard? ” she asked him, in a voice as cold as her marble face, but similarly redeemed and animated by its delicate and distant scorn. hvd.hwkq8p Minchin's diary was n't one like yours, was it? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hwkq8p	Of what? hvd.hwkq8p Was it a station? ” the ex- overseer echoed.
hvd.hwkq8p	What young gentleman, Mrs. Brunton? ” “ Him'at you saw i'London an'sent all this way for change of air! hvd.hwkq8p 'In this case I see no reason to be anything else. ” “ What — when you know really nothing about Mr. Steel himself?

hvd.hwkq8p	99 The Shadow of the Rope “ Who is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkq8p	And again, what did it matter if they did?
hvd.hwkq8p	And did you hear what she said about his age?
hvd.hwkq8p	And even in my own life I should, I hope, be the more than occasional gainer by her society; may I also add, by her sympathy, by her advice?
hvd.hwkq8p	And now do you mind putting me ashore? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	And what could it be but love?
hvd.hwkq8p	And what did I get out of it? ” demanded Abel, furiously.
hvd.hwkq8p	And what did it matter who saw her and who knew her now?
hvd.hwkq8p	And what does it mat- ter?
hvd.hwkq8p	And what does it matter what they think or say?
hvd.hwkq8p	And what might not happen before the day was out?
hvd.hwkq8p	And what then?"
hvd.hwkq8p	And whither, in all the world?
hvd.hwkq8p	And whither?
hvd.hwkq8p	And why must he expatiate upon the judge's kindness to the female witnesses, instead of on the grand result of the trial over which he had presid- ed?
hvd.hwkq8p	Are they your husband's school or college? ” 114 A Slight Discrepancy “ No,"said Morna, blushing as she laughed again.
hvd.hwkq8p	But I had no idea that I should ever meet you in the flesh! ” 125 The Shadow of the Rope “ Really? ” he said.
hvd.hwkq8p	But Steel was the boss, damn him, trust Steel to be the boss! ” “ But if the station was his? ” queried Langholm.
hvd.hwkq8p	But could she do it, even if she would?
hvd.hwkq8p	But do you mean to tell me that it was Mr. Steel to whom you referred in your letter? ” “ I do so! ” cried Abel, and clinched it with an oath.
hvd.hwkq8p	But is it not disgraceful?
hvd.hwkq8p	But it has n't saved anybody yet. ” “ The new law?
hvd.hwkq8p	But it will depend upon your- self. ” “ And what do you want to make me now?"
hvd.hwkq8p	But what am I to do?"
hvd.hwkq8p	But what business of ours, as you say?
hvd.hwkq8p	But what does it matter what is said?
hvd.hwkq8p	But what would you gain? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	But who told you he was ever out there?
hvd.hwkq8p	But why suppress a fact so free from all discredit?

hvd.hwkq8p	Could she bring herself to set foot inside that house again?
hvd.hwkq8p	Could this amiable young woman know all?
hvd.hwkq8p	Did he care for her, or did he not?
hvd.hwkq8p	Did she regret this second marriage, this second leap in the dark?
hvd.hwkq8p	Did she tell you we go by the 12.55 from Northborough? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	Did you hear me? ” he added, with one of his sudden changes of tone and manner.
hvd.hwkq8p	Did you sit up with him all night long? ” “ Every minute of the night, ” said the other, with undisguised severity in her fixed red eyes.
hvd.hwkq8p	Do n't you see how delightfully provincial they are?
hvd.hwkq8p	Do you hear them now?
hvd.hwkq8p	Do you know Claridge's Hotel, by the way? ” “ Only by name, ” said Rachel, wearily."
hvd.hwkq8p	Do you mean to tell me that you actually think I did it still? ” Rachel fully expected an affirmative.

hvd.hwkq8p	Had Langholm realised that he had put a question which he had no business to put?
hvd.hwkq8p	Had they made so sure of her convic- tion as all that?
hvd.hwkq8p	Have you had her under the microscope all the summer?
hvd.hwkq8p	Have you really seen anything of the lady? ” “ Seen anything of her? ” echoed a journalist to whom Langholm had never spoken in his life.
hvd.hwkq8p	Have you really seen anything of the lady? ” “ Seen anything of her? ” echoed a journalist to whom Langholm had never spoken in his life.
hvd.hwkq8p	He knows Mrs. Minchin —"“ Or whatever her name is now; yes; so he says. ” “ And what is her name? ” “ He wo n't say."
hvd.hwkq8p	He will take you in himself. ” “ And what is he like? ” “ Fond of his dinner; he wo n't worry you, ” said Steel, reassuringly.
hvd.hwkq8p	How can I convince you that I have all my wits about me?
hvd.hwkq8p	How do 184 A Match for Mrs. Venables you fit in twenty- six people at one table?
hvd.hwkq8p	How do you do, Mr. Langholm?
hvd.hwkq8p	I paid the cab myself and brought in his bag. ” “ He had just arrived from the country, I presume?"
hvd.hwkq8p	I suppose you knew that? ” “ I did hear it. ” Rachel moistened her lips with champagne.
hvd.hwkq8p	I understand you offered him your cottage while you were away, but there was some muddle, and he came before they were ready for him?
hvd.hwkq8p	I will confess,"added Steel, “ that I hoped the report was true. ” “ Did it follow that I could have no pride?"
hvd.hwkq8p	I wonder if you remember him?"
hvd.hwkq8p	If he also was an Australian, why on earth should that fact, of all facts, be concealed from her?
hvd.hwkq8p	Is an accusation down here the same thing as a conviction?
hvd.hwkq8p	Is it the usual thing to question people who have made a sec- ond marriage — supposing I am one- about their first?
hvd.hwkq8p	Is that not a disgrace to common humanity? ” “ Humanity is not so common as you imagine, ” re- marked Steel.
hvd.hwkq8p	It could have made no difference after Alexander Min- chin's death; then why had he kept the fact so jealously to himself?
hvd.hwkq8p	May I ask if you are Mr. Steel? ” “ I am."
hvd.hwkq8p	May I ask who she is exactly?"
hvd.hwkq8p	May I still think it of you? ” “ If you will, ” said Langholm.
hvd.hwkq8p	Meanwhile he had the run of my office, and that was all. ” “ And not even the benefit of your advice?"
hvd.hwkq8p	Meanwhile wo n't you trust me — implicitly — until then? ” “ I do, ” said Rachel, “ and I will — until to- morrow."
hvd.hwkq8p	My dear lady, I was not going to lose sight of you to- night! ” “ And why not? ” “ Because I foresaw what might happen, and may happen still!
hvd.hwkq8p	Nobody had asked her for it; she had kept it for this; dare she use it after all?
hvd.hwkq8p	Not an earthly! ” “ I'm not so sure of that. ” “ Will you bet? ” “ No, hang it!
hvd.hwkq8p	Not going to wait for the end of the fourth act? ” “ No, I'm late as it is.
hvd.hwkq8p	Of course, my dear Langholm, you have n't really anything of any account to tell?
hvd.hwkq8p	Oh, Hugh, you do like Rachel, do n't you? ” “ I do, ” he said emphatically.
hvd.hwkq8p	Oh, there was a great case not long since, if we had but the man to handle it, without spoiling it, in English fiction! ” “ And what was that?"
hvd.hwkq8p	She came to me straight from Normanthorpe, where they had insulted her as she had never been insulted in her life be- fore! ” “ Who?
hvd.hwkq8p	She would have had pity on me, in spite of him; but now I can never go near either of them again! ” Then where was she to go?
hvd.hwkq8p	Steel or his wife? ”"Mr. Steel, I fancy.
hvd.hwkq8p	Steel?
hvd.hwkq8p	Still want to see it? ” inquired the house- agent, with a wry smile.
hvd.hwkq8p	Still, it is mysterious, is n't it?
hvd.hwkq8p	Suppose it were a lover, and inquire one must: would one not still leave those inquiries to the last?
hvd.hwkq8p	Surely you will take a rest? ” “ I shall correct this thing.
hvd.hwkq8p	The Carringtons?
hvd.hwkq8p	Then I shall fall to upon my magnum opus. ” “ You really think it will be that? ” “ It should be mine.
hvd.hwkq8p	Then why cast them into a secret lumber- room whose very existence was un- known to the old Australian's Australian wife?
hvd.hwkq8p	Then why did he never behave as though he were in love?
hvd.hwkq8p	To offer to marry a person whom one does not- as yet, pretend to love? ” Rachel vouchsafed no reply.
hvd.hwkq8p	Was ever anything more like him, or less like anybody else?
hvd.hwkq8p	Was he obliged to appear?
hvd.hwkq8p	Was that the face of a determined murderess?
hvd.hwkq8p	Was that the face that had been hidden from them all these days?
hvd.hwkq8p	Well, Langholm, put salt on him yet? ” “ On whom?"
hvd.hwkq8p	Well, Langholm, put salt on him yet? ” “ On whom?"
hvd.hwkq8p	What can matter to me?
hvd.hwkq8p	What conceivable harm could that have done?
hvd.hwkq8p	What could be the object of that ex- traordinary step?
hvd.hwkq8p	What did Mrs. Minchin intend to do?
hvd.hwkq8p	What did it matter who or what he was?
hvd.hwkq8p	What do the facts matter, Mrs. Steel, when one has an idea like that for fiction?
hvd.hwkq8p	What does it matter now? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	What reason did she give?
hvd.hwkq8p	What sort of woman would such a man marry, and what sort of woman would marry such a man?
hvd.hwkq8p	What was his intention, and what his object?
hvd.hwkq8p	What was she to do?
hvd.hwkq8p	What was she to think?
hvd.hwkq8p	What were these immediate measures?
hvd.hwkq8p	What would she do or say?
hvd.hwkq8p	Where did she propose to go?
hvd.hwkq8p	Where was the evidence of the man who had made all the mischief between the Minchins?
hvd.hwkq8p	Where's your corroboration?
hvd.hwkq8p	Who would look for her afoot so near the scene of her late ordeal?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why had he married her?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why had he not told her about Australia, at all events?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why had the name he wanted never come up in open court?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why not have told her frankly that he had known Alexander Minchin years before she did herself?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why should they suspect her?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why so often and so sys- tematically pretend that you never were in Australia at all?
hvd.hwkq8p	Why, what have they got here? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	Will that not do? ” Severino thanked him, with a heavy sigh.
hvd.hwkq8p	Yet, when all was said, or when all that had been said could be remembered, would his behaviour be found so very inexplicable?
hvd.hwkq8p	You did n't expect me earlier, did you?
hvd.hwkq8p	You know that Mrs. Vinson, the Invernesses'new agent's wife? ” “ I do.
hvd.hwkq8p	You would not have said that, Morna; but are you sure you would not have said it in your heart?
hvd.hwkq8p	you will trust me so far at last- I thank you from my heart! ” “ Where to, sir? ” asked the cabman through the roof.
hvd.hwkq8p	· “ Are you going to let the disgrace continue?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ A young gentleman, and sent by me? ” Langholm's 267 The Shadow of the Rope face was blank until a harsh light broke over it.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Although you thought me guilty? ” “ That made no difference at all.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And are not you? ” cried the other point- blank.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And as a woman you believe this woman inno- cent? ” “ I do."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And did you see the cheque? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And do you mean to tell me that you took a degree? ”"Of sorts, ” admitted Morna, whose spoken English was by no means undefiled.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And he was belabouring them with a cushion, did you say?. ” added Rachel, with the slightest emphasis upon the noun.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And he you? ” “ I thought he did at first; afterwards I was not so sure. ” “ But I am! ” exclaimed Steel through his teeth.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And pray what colour was the blanket? ” she made haste to add.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And pray,"demanded Rachel, “ where are my things? ”"Ah, your solicitor will tell you that — when you give him the chance!
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And that is the verdict of you all?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And what are you going to do about it? ” 304 The Shadow of the Rope light.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And what do you think of it?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And who was I to take measures on your behalf?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ And you mean that nobody in the district knew anything at all about my husband? ” “ Not a thing,"said Mrs. Venables.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Are you quite sure you do n't want to cut our acquaintance? ” “ You know I do n't, ” said Langholm, bluntly.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ As a perfect stranger? ” “ As a perfect stranger who had watched you for a whole long week in court. ” Rachel ignored the relative clause.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ As a woman- do n't you think she might?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But am I not to hear also? ” demanded Rachel.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But can you doubt it?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But do you prefer an ice, or more strawberries and cream? ” “ Neither, thank you.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But he did get over it? ” “ So we hope; but he was at death's door that morn- ing, and for days and weeks.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But surely it was a very sordid case?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But surely you have n't been quarrelling with her? ” “ No, indeed!
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But what on earth is the meaning of it? ” “ She has just been here."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But why?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ But your mistress has been here some years?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ By poking your nose into places which you would not think of approaching in my presence? ” “ By the merest accident in the world! ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Catch any on'em not doing what master tells them! ” “ Then did John see what happened? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did John say it was a blue blanket, Harris, or did your own imagination supply the colour? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did n't he keep any papers here? ” he added.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did n't your solicitor tell you? ” asked Carrington.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did you let him see it? ” cried Langholm, quickly.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did you look twice at my card?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did you never see one before? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Did you think that he had shot himself? ” And her horror heightened at a thought more ter- rible to her than all the rest.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do n't you? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you actually hint that Mr. Steel has or could have been a gainer by Mr. Minchin's death? ” Abel pondered his reply.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you forbid me? ” demanded Langholm, turning upon him.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you forgive me? ” he whispered, in a voice both hoarse and hollow.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you hear me?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you know Mr. Steel so well — so much better than we do — and can you ask for particulars about anything he ever does?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you know if he ever came in at all? ” “ Between two and three, I believe,"said the porter in the same tone.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you live abroad? ” There was the least suspicion of eagerness in the question.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you mean that I am not to be your daughter any longer, Mr. Steel? ” “ Not if I can help it.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you mean to say he had the impudence to bring a blanket with him?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you mean to say that you have any suspicion who it is? ” Severino was on his elbow.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you mean to say that you never saw me before-my trouble, Mr. Steel? ” 79 The Shadow of the Rope “ Never in my life, my dear lady."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you remember the name? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Do you still pin your faith to the man in the street?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Does it put one outside the local pale to keep to oneself any painful incident in one's own career?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Feeling more yourself? ” said he; and, when Rachel said she was, he asked her to listen now; and there was nothing to listen to.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ For telling her what the whole world thinks of her?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Got it all down? ” said Steel.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Have I denied that the portrait you saw is indeed the portrait of Alexander Minchin?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Have you been here long, my girl? ” “ Going on three months."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Have you found out anything? ” Langholm hesitated.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Have you found out — anything at all?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ How can I thank you? ” Carrington said it was not necessary.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ How can you know? ” she asked coldly.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I am innocent — so why should I? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I believe so. ” “ Are you her only servant? ” “ Yes. ” And five hours to wait for more!
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I re- member once hearing that Sir Baldwin Gibson and Lord Edgeware were the two fairest judges on the bench; and why, do you suppose?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I seem, do you know, to know his face? ” Little Miss Gibson fell an easy prey.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I suppose it was a station? ” he added, as a furious shower of sparks came from the cutty.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I suppose, ” he added,"that a man may call his 161 The Shadow of the Rope wife by her Christian name for once in a way?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I was. ” “ Have you guessed who she was- before she mar- ried me — or has anybody told you? ” “ I have guessed."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I wonder who he is?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ I'm sorry to disturb you, dear, but who do you think is here?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ If it was not the judge, ” said he, “ who in the world is it who has sprung this mine?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ If you do n't know where he lives in the country,"he burst out,"where is he staying in town? ” “ We do n't know that either."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ In my favour? ” she cried.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Is he there? ” asked Rachel, hastily.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Is that all? ” asked Rachel, a catch in her voice."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Is there so much about me, then? ” asked Rachel, with a sigh of apprehension.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Is your mistress in? ” “ No."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ It does n't matter? ” he repeated in angry astonish- ment.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ It remains to be seen whether there is evidence enough to convict. ” “ Have you communicated with the police?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Madam, have you followed the case? ”"Indeed I have, ” sighed honest Rachel.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ My dear Mrs. Brunton, ” he exclaimed, “ what on earth has happened?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ No wonder we never even heard ” “ And what then? ” repeated Rachel, with a quiet and compelling scorn.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Oh! ” she cried; “ oh, may I not speak to your wife?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Oh, Mr. Langholm, do you write books? ” asked the schoolgirl, with round blue eyes.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ The Mr. Steel who sent me his card after the trial? ” Steel bowed.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Then I only hope, ” said Rachel, on one of her impulses, “ that you do n't disagree with the verdict?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Then you do n't think it's me any longer? ” “ I know it is not.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Then you have nothing of his left? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Then you intend to call upon her? ” said Mrs. Venables, coming with directness to an obviously pre- meditated point.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ These actor- managers — what? ” “ More or less.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Very well, she shall not- on one condition. ” “ What is that? ” “ Langholm, I thought last summer we were to be rather friends?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Very well, she shall not- on one condition. ” “ What is that? ” “ Langholm, I thought last summer we were to be rather friends?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Was that the Chief Warder in the dock? ” “ Him with the beard,"said the attendant, nodding.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Was that what brought you to my trial for his murder? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ We had no idea who you were, either! ” “ And now? ” said Rachel, still mistress of the situa- tion, for she knew so well what was coming.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Well? ” And the monosyllable was a whisper.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Well? ” “ A quarter to ten, madame."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Well? ” “ She is not likely to come again.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Well? ” “ She was a very great friend of mine, ” repeated Sev- erino.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Were you ever out there, Mrs. Steel? ” inquired Langholm, carelessly.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What did you say? ” inquired Rachel, turning politely to her visitor.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What did you talk about, then? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What for? ” smiled Langholm.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What is the time, please? ” 74 A Peripatetic Providence “ I will see, madame."
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What right or excuse had I to mix myself up in your affairs?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What was my share?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What's his name, Mrs. Brunton? ”"I ca n't tell you, sir.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ What's that you have got? ” asked Steel, as they turned back up the drive, after seeing Morna to her woodland path.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ When do you expect her? ” “ Not before night. ” “ Any idea what time of night?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ When do you expect her? ” “ Not before night. ” “ Any idea what time of night?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ When was the doctor here last?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Where are you going? ” asked the invalid, quer- ulously, as his companion moved towards the door.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Where are you going? ” she cried.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Who are you talking about?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Who is he? ” “ The man she wanted to nurse the night her husband was murdered — the cause of the final row between them!
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Whom one only — but tremendously- admires? ” Rachel felt bound to answer him, for at least there was no insult in his tone.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Why have you pretended all these months that you never were in Australia in your life?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Why not? ” “ A dinner- party, of all things!
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Why should I run away? ” she demanded, in sud- den tears of mortification and of weakness combined.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Why, ca n't you see that he bowled her out himself and came up straight to sell the news? ” Langholm took his comparative crony by the arm.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Will you have the goodness to explain yourself? ” The constables were standing on either side of her now.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Would n't refuse? ” he echoed.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Yes- amounts to the same thing, does n't it? ” “ You are not thinking of- of Mrs. Steel? ” queried Langholm, after pausing in his turn.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Yes- amounts to the same thing, does n't it? ” “ You are not thinking of- of Mrs. Steel? ” queried Langholm, after pausing in his turn.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Yes. ” Why should he lie?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Yes? ” she said, her fine eyebrows raised a little.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Yet you do n't any longer deny that you have been to Australia? ” 163 The Shadow of the Rope “ It is useless.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You are sure he was wearing it?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You are sure you realise who I am? ” “ Yes, Rachel. ” “ Rachel Minchin! ” added Rachel, harshly.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You believe, at least, in the bona fides of my offer? ” The Shadow of the Rope And Rachel, still looking in his eyes, murmured that she did.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You do n't mean to tell me you have struck a clue? ”"I believe I can lay hands upon the criminal, ” said Langholm, as quietly as he could.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You have, have you? ” cried the other, with the same jovial familiarity.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You heard them both? ”.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You know my inexperience, and you have come to tell me things, have you not?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You know the side- door near the billiard- room?
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You probably do; he is the judge, you know! ” “ The judge, is he?"
hvd.hwkq8p	“ You will come and see us, wo n't you? ” she said.
hvd.hwkq8p	“ Young man,'said he,'have you placed a romance in your mother's backyard yet?'
hvd.hwkq8p	” “ I took these rooms; I had spoken of taking them earlier in the week. ” “ For me?"
hvd.hnp9fq	And what about Max? ” he could not refrain from asking. hvd.hnp9fq But where is the paper?
hvd.hnp9fq	By the way, Miss Egerton, ” he said, “ have you heard that Eversleigh Court was broken into and-what do you English call it- looted last night? hvd.hnp9fq Did Prince Kassim and her ladyship remain in the hall, or where did they go?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Did Prince Kassim threaten or attack you?
hvd.hnp9fq	Did n't find much incriminating evidence in it, did you? ” The detective laughed, too. hvd.hnp9fq Do I often visit this tower? ” Berenice echoed lightly.
hvd.hnp9fq	Had you previously seen any person enter the library? ” “ No, Sahib. ” Ahmed's answers came more quick- ly now. hvd.hnp9fq Have no preparations been made for our arrival?
hvd.hnp9fq	How are you, Reggie, dear boy?
hvd.hnp9fq	I beg your pardon, madam? ”. hvd.hnp9fq I may serve you to rabbit pasty, Sahib? ” Ah- med's tone was respectful and properly subdued.
hvd.hnp9fq	I suppose you hope for an answer that can be twisted into incriminating evidence? ” The coroner bristled in defence of his official dig- nity. hvd.hnp9fq I- I have n't that key. ” “ Why not? ” demanded Miss Egerton belliger- ently.
hvd.hnp9fq	If I do come back, Lord Borrowdean, will he have to know? ” Borrowdean patted her arm reassuringly. hvd.hnp9fq Is it anoother idol brawken?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Is it true this is the third night an idol has been found broken? ” Miss Egerton seemed content that he should be spokesman. hvd.hnp9fq Is this girl's statement true- er- Lady Bere- nice?"
hvd.hnp9fq	It was then to be a so- called'marriage of con- venience'? ” Berenice raised her head. hvd.hnp9fq Reggie, wo n't you bring in Pompon?
hvd.hnp9fq	What drew your attention to the library in the first place?
hvd.hnp9fq	What is your name? ” she demanded curtly. hvd.hnp9fq Why did you bring the little beast?"
hvd.hnp9fq	("Why- er- footsteps. ” “ No other sounds?
hvd.hnp9fq	150 THE RED CAVALIER Why had she remained after the person she had gone to meet had come out?
hvd.hnp9fq	197 up to London batless? ” More than ever Max's unconcern roused his resentment.
hvd.hnp9fq	256 THE RED CAVALIER “ This promise was the condition of your marriage to him?"
hvd.hnp9fq	290 DOUBTS AND SUSPICIONS 291 But just what were his suspicions?
hvd.hnp9fq	A short road to perdition? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	Ab wor in t'library trim- min'a candle and t man wor lookin'in at t'door. ” “ Did you see his face? ” demanded the coroner.
hvd.hnp9fq	Ah did n't see'is face then either, on'y his back, but he went into ť ballroom. ” “ What time was this?"
hvd.hnp9fq	An even crueller one perhaps than that which had overtaken her brother?
hvd.hnp9fq	An'this poar laad's wits ha amaist fligged away sence'e took oop wi't'Cavalier. ” “ Took up with the Cavalier? ” encouraged Bor- rowdean.
hvd.hnp9fq	And Greville Coningsby is mixed up in this, now is n't he?"
hvd.hnp9fq	And I do n't think I should take his advice on a momentous question, should you, Reggie? ”"No."
hvd.hnp9fq	And who had hidden it?
hvd.hnp9fq	And who was that running up the stairs- was it Lona- what ailed her? ”"It was Lona and she had been sleep- walking,"Borrowdean answered.
hvd.hnp9fq	And why had it been done?
hvd.hnp9fq	And why should n't it be when we're heading straight into danger? ” TWIN TURRETS 37 Miss Egerton's whole attitude was expressive of disgust.
hvd.hnp9fq	Are you coming, Evans, or are you not? ” “ If that paper is in the room, I sha n't close my eyes one second, ” whimpered the maid.
hvd.hnp9fq	Are you coming? ” Ethelyn smiled reproachfully.
hvd.hnp9fq	Are you ill? ” “ Who — who put this on my plate?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Are you ill? ” “ Who — who put this on my plate?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Begin to see a little glimmer of light, eh? ” Mercedes Quero regarded him with a curious smile.
hvd.hnp9fq	Borrowdean,"as he was assisting her into a first class compartment, “ what have you done with your luggage? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	But how the deuce should I know that this Cavalier chap would unlock my door and walk in? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	But how was he to prove this to the world?
hvd.hnp9fq	But then what woman was there who did not look with indulgent eyes on Maxwell Egerton?
hvd.hnp9fq	But what could he do?
hvd.hnp9fq	But what is the use of denying that my interview with Prince Kassim was exceedingly unpleasant?
hvd.hnp9fq	But who was it and how much longer would this person be content simply to shatter images for the furtherance of some unknown design?
hvd.hnp9fq	But who, if not Mrs. Dalrymple, bad given Berenice the key to the terrace door and where had she gone that night?
hvd.hnp9fq	But why should either of them give it to Berenice?
hvd.hnp9fq	But why should it?
hvd.hnp9fq	But why should she have these feelings toward one who was practically a stranger to her?
hvd.hnp9fq	But why, and who had unlocked it in the interval of Ahmed's entering the ballroom?
hvd.hnp9fq	But why?
hvd.hnp9fq	But you- you trust me, do n't you? ” He gripped the hands she held out to him.
hvd.hnp9fq	But, after all, was it more than this?
hvd.hnp9fq	By the way, why did not Kassim Bardai return?
hvd.hnp9fq	By what right did this man judge and condemn her without a hearing?
hvd.hnp9fq	Ca n't you thank me, at least?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Coningsby'? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	Coningsby?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Could it be that he attached some- thing sinister to the fall of those idols and believed that danger was threatening Miss Egerton?
hvd.hnp9fq	Could it have been a dunning letter from some creditor?
hvd.hnp9fq	Could not this have made the drilling sound? ”"By Jove!
hvd.hnp9fq	Dalrymple, who was the man in the cavalier dress?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Dalrymple?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Dalrymple?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Did he mean to solace himself for Kassim Bardai's monopoly of Berenice by a little affair with Morna Dalrymple?
hvd.hnp9fq	Did n't you, little Lotus- Flower? ” A NIGHT OF MYSTERY 95 “ I- I was all dazed, ” she faltered.
hvd.hnp9fq	Did she deem the circumstantial evidence against her too strong even to make an attempt to extricate herself?
hvd.hnp9fq	Did she really love him or did she consider Max as she did him, simply as a friend, a 100 160 THE RED CAVALIER"good pal"?
hvd.hnp9fq	Did you attempt to look into the library?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Did you ever know a woman with whom Max did not find favour? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	Do n't I count a little, eh? ” Berenice laughed with something of her usual gaiety.
hvd.hnp9fq	Do n't you know that Greville Coningsby is in Australia?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Do n't you know that with the Hindus able- bodiedness and courage count for nothing?
hvd.hnp9fq	Do n't you think we could'hit it off,'eh?
hvd.hnp9fq	Do you imagine that I should apply for a loan to a mere social ac- quaintance-- and a foreigner at that?
hvd.hnp9fq	Do you know what the papers are saying of her?
hvd.hnp9fq	Does n't it occur to you that you may be doing him an injustice?
hvd.hnp9fq	Does that license you to pry into my private affairs? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	Ethie, shall we make our adieux? ” Miss Egerton stood up.
hvd.hnp9fq	Getting on his feet he clambered over the rocks to the little Hindu girl and advised CHAPTER XVIII WHERE IS LONA?
hvd.hnp9fq	Go WHERE IS LONA?
hvd.hnp9fq	Has he?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Hate of a man dead these two hundred years?
hvd.hnp9fq	Have a Corona, Max? ” He pushed a box of cigars toward him.
hvd.hnp9fq	Have n't you a respectable pen in your offices, Mr. Wad- dington? ” MISS VANDELIA VENTURES 9 The agent hastily procured another.
hvd.hnp9fq	Have you invited any one as yet? ” “ Not as yet."
hvd.hnp9fq	Have you seen the papers — what they are saying? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hnp9fq	He did not kill Sir Robert Grainger. ” “ Then who killed him?"
hvd.hnp9fq	He had said he was about to get into bed when he had heard the noise, but Lona- how did she happen to hear it so distinctly?
hvd.hnp9fq	He must be a lover of the sea; is he not, Lord Borrowdean? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	He searched the house very thoroughly to see if there were any further indications of a burglar having 188 WHERE IS LONA?
hvd.hnp9fq	He was an eccentric, was n't he?"
hvd.hnp9fq	He was thinking of a certain woman.—“Do you know,"he asked abruptly,"if Max feels any- ah-interest in Miss Eversleigh? ” Miss Egerton frowned.
hvd.hnp9fq	He- he took her with him?"
hvd.hnp9fq	How then did you know it was the Red Cavalier? ” “ The moon was out and I recognized him by his costume. ” “ But you could not see his face?"
hvd.hnp9fq	How then did you know it was the Red Cavalier? ” “ The moon was out and I recognized him by his costume. ” “ But you could not see his face?"
hvd.hnp9fq	I am sure she will have returned by now, or if not, she must have gone to Avingdon Manor to see that old Hindu — what's his name?"
hvd.hnp9fq	I carried refreshments into the ballroom. ” “ When did you see either of them again? ” Ahmed's tongue clove to the roof of his mouth.
hvd.hnp9fq	I ex- pected to meet a- another lady —"“ Mercedes Quero, perhaps? ” smiled Miss Walton.
hvd.hnp9fq	I knaw —'tis anoother idol. ” “ Is the girl crazy?"
hvd.hnp9fq	I never saw her like that before. ” “ Why have you told me all this, Ethelyn?"
hvd.hnp9fq	I say, Miss Quero, why did n't you make yourself known? ” 328 THE RED CAVALIER The detective looked him straight in the eye.
hvd.hnp9fq	I wonder if I have made every point clear to you both? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	IN SIR ROBERT'S CHAMBER 309 “ What sort of sounds? ” she urged, nervously.
hvd.hnp9fq	If I do give up this bone of contention, can you assure me safe conduct from the country? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	If he were really in love with Berenice, why should he trifle with this little Hindu girl, as unsophisticated as a child in the nursery?
hvd.hnp9fq	If this were the case, would she not resent his interference, would she not believe that he had doubted her and was spying upon her?
hvd.hnp9fq	In what sort of a mess had Berenice become entangled?
hvd.hnp9fq	Is Lona shielding you? ” Max's face showed a whiteness not due altogether to the paling light of the moon.
hvd.hnp9fq	Is it Miss Roydon? ” Borrowdean adjusted his monocle and stared at the graceful figure by Max's side.
hvd.hnp9fq	Is not that the wagonette winding up the cliff? ” “ It surely is, Miss Egerton, and there is Max waving to you."
hvd.hnp9fq	Is the disap- pointment too great to be borne?
hvd.hnp9fq	Is the same true in the case of Kassim Bardai? ”"It is not.
hvd.hnp9fq	Is this true? ” Lona quivered.
hvd.hnp9fq	It will brighten you up wonderfully? ” Lona's dark eyes shone.
hvd.hnp9fq	It's an uncommon fine evening for walking. ” “ Does your Ladyship often visit this tower? ” suddenly spoke up a drawling yet peremptory voice.
hvd.hnp9fq	Lona rep- resented that land from which they came but could this fact explain his interest in her?
hvd.hnp9fq	Max,"abruptly turning to her nephew, “ what do you think of this Burton fellow as a detective?
hvd.hnp9fq	Miss Egerton, will you ask your nephew to come here, please?".
hvd.hnp9fq	Miss Egerton, wo n't you make her give it back to me?"
hvd.hnp9fq	No, WHERE IS LONA?
hvd.hnp9fq	Now where can I send for a paper?
hvd.hnp9fq	Of what use was the jury's verdict of"persons unknown"in the face of calumny like this?
hvd.hnp9fq	Oh, by the way, Reggie, have you heard how kind Miss Egerton has been to Mrs. Dalrymple?
hvd.hnp9fq	Reggie, do you happen to know where his highness is putting up?"
hvd.hnp9fq	Reggie, ” Max called out,"did you hear the noise too?
hvd.hnp9fq	She is dis- tinctly not the woman whom I could accept as his wife. ” “ Oh, come now, Miss Egerton, what have you against Berenice?
hvd.hnp9fq	She told tha mann it wuss- afore she went oopstaares. ” “ Was the library door closed or open? ” persisted Burton.
hvd.hnp9fq	T'laad ha taaken too ter drink an'no one'll ha speech wi'him. ” “ Who is this lad, Thomas? ” The coachman's volubility abruptly ceased.
hvd.hnp9fq	TWIN TURRETS 41 “ What were Cockerill and Waddington's conditions, Miss Egerton?"
hvd.hnp9fq	That distant figure in white coming lightly over the rocks, was it Berenice?
hvd.hnp9fq	That is plain enough, is n't it? ” Mr. Waddington gave a little cough of embarrass- ment.
hvd.hnp9fq	That is, I mean, could n't you- couldn't you- ah- contrive to marry me? ” A wonderfully tender expression came into Bere- nice's face.
hvd.hnp9fq	The great rocks, wind- swept and dripping, stretched themselves above the raging sea, void, as far as the eye could reach, of WHERE IS LONA?
hvd.hnp9fq	The idea of her WHERE IS LONA?
hvd.hnp9fq	The man is a Hindu. ” “ And the woman? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	The question was which one?
hvd.hnp9fq	The terrace was used as a promenade by many of the guests. ” “ Did you look in at the library door? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	Then, too, how had she gained possession of the key to the library door?
hvd.hnp9fq	Then, “ No, Sabib. ” “ Where did she go? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	Well, what could I do but accept?
hvd.hnp9fq	Were n't you afraid that some one would hear your pounding?
hvd.hnp9fq	What about it, old man?
hvd.hnp9fq	What communica- tion could it contain that must be written in cypher and hidden away inside a Hindu idol?
hvd.hnp9fq	What do you mean? ” 84 THE RED CAVALIER Kassim Bardai regarded her gravely.
hvd.hnp9fq	What do you say, little Lotus- Flower, to a walk along the sands?
hvd.hnp9fq	What do you think about it, Reggie?
hvd.hnp9fq	What do you think of this ghostly burglar, Reggie?
hvd.hnp9fq	What fate had befallen her?
hvd.hnp9fq	What had he, a prosaic, conventional- living bachelor nearing forty, to do with sentiment?
hvd.hnp9fq	What has happened? ” she asked dazedly.
hvd.hnp9fq	What hold could this man have upon her?
hvd.hnp9fq	What kind of a mess have you gotten yourself into?"
hvd.hnp9fq	What made Ethelyn so assured now in her bearing toward Max?
hvd.hnp9fq	What time does the ghost generally walk? ” “ You mean —"“ What time do the idols fall? ”"This one fell about midnight."
hvd.hnp9fq	What time does the ghost generally walk? ” “ You mean —"“ What time do the idols fall? ”"This one fell about midnight."
hvd.hnp9fq	What was on Max's mind?
hvd.hnp9fq	What was the mystery surrounding these mutilated idols?
hvd.hnp9fq	What was the secret of her hold over him?
hvd.hnp9fq	What will they ask me?"
hvd.hnp9fq	What's the meaning of it, eh? ” Max's face darkened.
hvd.hnp9fq	Where are the papers, Mr. Waddington? ” “ Here on the desk, Miss Egerton.
hvd.hnp9fq	Where can the poor child be?
hvd.hnp9fq	Which door had Max entered?
hvd.hnp9fq	Who is the guilty one in your opinion? ” He laid his arm carelessly over the back of her chair, his teasing eyes laughing into hers.
hvd.hnp9fq	Who paid a visit? ” Max looked across at her with solicitude.
hvd.hnp9fq	Who was the man she had gone to meet at the tower?
hvd.hnp9fq	Who would n't have?
hvd.hnp9fq	Whom could she have gone to meet there?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why have you come back?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why not ask the young lady herself? ” “ I prefer to ask you. ” Max gave a short laugh of exasperation.
hvd.hnp9fq	Why not come to luncheon?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why should I get such a grilling?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why should Max keep on that absurd costume and go prowling about in it?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why the deuce are you gotten up in this fashion? ” Max's laughter bubbled forth again.
hvd.hnp9fq	Why then should he continue to efface himself?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why were you so determined to have this one? ” “ Apart from its historic interest there are two reasons.
hvd.hnp9fq	Why, Borrowdean wondered half angrily, could she not at least try to put some ring of truth into her tone?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why, indeed, had Berenice insisted upon bringing the silly little creature?
hvd.hnp9fq	Why? ” The coroner's tone was trucu- lent.
hvd.hnp9fq	Will this convince you? ” She drew from a silver THE CAVALIER UNMASKED 317 mesh bag the telegram which he had sent the evening before.
hvd.hnp9fq	Would he and the lady like to go upstairs at once?
hvd.hnp9fq	Yet, in spite of himself, did not he too harbour the selfsame ugly doubts which ex- cited this morbidly curious throng?
hvd.hnp9fq	You are not by any chance its owner, are you?"
hvd.hnp9fq	You are quite sure? ” “ It is difficult to distinguish sounds at night, ” he evaded.
hvd.hnp9fq	You do n't mind my considering you an antidote, do you? ” She moved toward the door.
hvd.hnp9fq	You had better let him take you back to Twin Turrets. ” “ But- but what can I tell them there? ” pro- tested Lona.
hvd.hnp9fq	You have said that you trust me; now why not Max? ” In her earnestness she leaned toward him so that her hair almost brushed his cheek.
hvd.hnp9fq	You promise to be very agree- able to Miss Eversleigh? ” Max promised and went upstairs laughing.
hvd.hnp9fq	You will take my note, Reggie? ” He had a struggle with himself, but he could not resist her appeal.
hvd.hnp9fq	old man, do n't you know I'd give my eyes for Berenice?
hvd.hnp9fq	was 155 156 THE RED CAVALIER “ What is the meaning of this nonsense?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ A broken idol or an- other murder?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ A sensible decision, is n't it, Reggie? ” Lona ran lightly up the stairs.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Am I so very very different from what you expected?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And Prince Kassim Bardai? ” “ Probably more so than his sister. ” “ You were acquainted with Prince Kassim Bar- dai?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And Prince Kassim Bardai? ” “ Probably more so than his sister. ” “ You were acquainted with Prince Kassim Bar- dai?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And this happened, Bellamy? ” “ In Yorkshire at a place called Twin Turrets. ” Borrowdean took up his hat and stick.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And what are you going to wish me, Berenice?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And what were your feelings toward him? ” The coroner looked as though he wanted to apologize for these personalities.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And when did you next see her ladyship?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ And you will come for me, too, Mr. Egerton? ” her eyes searching his wistfully.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Are n't you going to wish me'bon voyage,'Aunt Van? ” Miss Egerton raised her eyes.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Are you happy now, little Lotus- Flower? ” Lona glanced up shyly into his half gentle, half mocking eyes and her dusky cheek flushed.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ At what hour? ” persisted the coroner.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Ay, Ah knaw. ” “ Who was it?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ But I do n't think we can be. ” “ Why not? ” she entreated.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ But I understand that your finances have lately been in a straightened condition?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ But was Prince Kassim Bardai in England in June of last year? ” persisted the coroner.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ But why not allow them the benefit of the doubt?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ By George! ” he said slowly, “ what the deuce are you doing here? ” His captive's pasty white face wore a sullen look.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Ca n't you trust us to do the worrying, eh? ” Lona let her cheek rest a brief instant against Max's arm.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Ca n't you understand,"—his voice was hoarse, even a bit savage-"that it's different with you?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Can I accommodate you in any way- Prince Kassim Bardai, I believe? ” a sternness in his voice in place of its usual fashionable drawl.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Coming up, old man? ” 174 THE RED CAVALIER until he came to a closed door which he judged to be Mrs. Dalrymple ’s.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Coming up, old man? ” He turned to Borrow- dean who was studying the mutilated idol.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Could I help you in any way, Lona? ” Berenice called after her gently.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Could n't you let the poor woman rest until morning?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did I ever tell you the funny mess Charlie Fallowfield got into at the last polo match? ” Borrowdean watched Max curiously.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did Prince Kassim, ” he now asked, “ ever make you a proposal of marriage? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did her ladyship return directly to the ball- room? ” asked the coroner, still reading from the card.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you accept the- er- offer of marriage? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you enter the library at any time during the evening? ” The coroner's voice was increas- ingly harsh.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you hear any sounds of moving about or disturbance within? ” “ No sounds, Sahib. ” Ahmed seemed anxious to make this statement.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you meet any one there? ” “ I met no one."
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you or did you not see him?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you reenter the library after having left it? ”"I remained on the cliffs till very late.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you see Lady Berenice Coningsby go out from the house? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you see any guest from the costume ball on the cliffs? ” Mrs. Dalrymple studied this question before re- plying.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you see anything further of this man in the cavalier costume after, as you stated, he en- tered the ballroom?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you see anything of Prince Kassim Bardai during the course of your business engagement? ” Berenice's colouring waned.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you see this man again? ” asked the coroner with official sternness.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Did you, Mr. Egerton, ” he asked at length,"see anything that night of another man dressed in Cavalier costume?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Do they need diversion so badly? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Do you happen to know if the wrath of Brahma rests also on the sister of Prince Kassim? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Do you imagine I could permit you to speak of love to me while I am under suspicion of being concerned in a man's death?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Do you know if any person entered Twin Turrets that night who was not an invited guest? ” Ahmed was shaken by the question.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Do you know where I could reach Max with a telephone or letter?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Do you object if I keep you company, Reggie?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Does Miss Egerton desire this room to be locked? ”"I do not know what Miss Egerton desires. ” There was hostility in Mrs. Dalrymple's voice.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Does Miss Eversleigh happen to love Max? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Does he, Mrs. Barker? ” The landlady shook her head.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Gave you rather of a start, eh, Reggie?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Had n't you better turn in? ” he suggested finally.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Had you reason to expect that Sir Robert would make further provision for you?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Have I been so — so very foolish? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Have they caught the thief? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ He has been here before, ” she evaded, “ with messages. ” “ To you? ” Borrowdean asked with his usual directness.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How did this end, Miss Roydon?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How did you get downstairs so quickly? ” THE BROKEN IDOLS 65 Morna Dalrymple braced herself to meet Miss Egerton's hostile gaze.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How did your mother happen to have in her possession the Azra El Kab ruby, Miss Roy- don? ” The silence in the room was intense.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How do you account for it? ” She shrugged her shoulders and smiled a little wearily.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How do you know that Prince Kassim was dead before Mr. Egerton came into the library? ” Mercedes Quero asked quickly.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How is it I find this child in your company?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How long have you been coachman at Twin Turrets, Thomas? ” “ Aboot two year- mebbe,"Thomas answered with true native caution.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ How long,"resumed the coroner,"did you re- main in the library? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ I beg your pardon?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ I suppose it was Chand Talsdad, eh, who put those bullets of salt on the little girl's plate and also on Max's? ” The detective shook her head.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ I suppose you will want to come with me, Evans?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Idols do n't fall down without hands to push them. ” “ Where is Ahmed? ” asked Borrowdean quickly.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ If he had entered the ballroom it would have caused some sensation, would it not? ” Max appeared a little puzzled.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ If you knew, why have you not told? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Is it anoother idol brawken? ” Everybody turned in amazement.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Is it possible, Miss Egerton, you do not know that for the past few months there have been innumerable daring robberies in the North Riding?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ It is that same Hindu prince whom we met at the Ascot races and later at the Russian Embassy ball? ” Max nodded, a little jubilantly, it seemed.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ It was closed. ” “ And locked?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ It was only a woman- didn't you see the feathers on her hat?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ It's a sleepy little Lotus- Flower, eh? ” Max spoke very gently.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ It's about time, Captain Coningsby, to unmask, is n't it, eh?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Look here, old chap, why did n't you invite Berenice instead?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Lord Borrowdean,"she asked with searching intentness,"why did you come into this room?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Max, dear old boy, why have n't you been in to see me before this? ” Max laughed softly.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ My word, Max, are you becoming a convert to Brahma? ” Max swung round hastily.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ No; it was too dark for that. ” “ How could you be sure then that this man was not Mr. Egerton?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Not to my knowledge. ” “ Would you have been likely to know if he had? ” “ Not unless I had happened to see him.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Not to see you, guv'nor; that's sure. ” “ What seems to be the trouble, Reggie?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Now then, do you know who put the key in the lock?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Oh, come now, little Lotus- Flower, you do n't class me among the cruel and bad English, do you? ” Lona stood silent, staring at him.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Oh, what has hap- pened? ” she moaned.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Really, Mr. Burton, are n't you just a little im- pertinent?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Reggie, could n't you — couldn't you invite me for one of the guests?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Sahiba, I may serve you to cherry glacé? ” BULLETS OF SALT 161 Berenice abstractedly accepted the iced fruit.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Shall I go back, Mr. Egerton? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ So you've come too for a glimpse at this Red Cavalier?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Talking? ” Ethelyn elevated her carefully- arched brows.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ The Mem Sahib will have a second glacé?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Then how,"demanded the coroner sternly, “ do you account for this torn piece of your gown being found clutched in Kassim Bardai's dead hand?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Then it must have been the real Cavalier I saw. ” “ Sure it was n't too much wine, Reggie?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Then there was a violent scene between you? ” Berenice attempted to retrieve herself.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Then you did not come downstairs later? ” “ No. ” Berenice spoke rather sharply.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ There was an awful crash in the hall, my lord- didn't you hear it- like the crash of doom?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ They walked down the hall, Sahib, toward- toward the library. ” “ Did they enter the library? ” “ I did not see, Sahib.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ They were talking?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ They will not ask me these questions- will they — at the inquest? ” Miss Egerton's own eyes grew suspiciously bright.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ This storm is wonderful, Reggie! ” “ I say, wo n't you take off that bally veil? ” he 194 THE RED CAVALIER asked irrelevantly.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Want any guiding through the town?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Was Prince Kassim- er- in love with your lady- ship? ” The question was put apologetically.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Was the corridor door closed or open?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ We're friends again, eh, Aunt Van? ” “ Max, you're incorrigible!
hvd.hnp9fq	“ We're mutually caught, eh, Reggie? ” He threw a smiling glance at Miss Wilton.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Well, rather! ” “ But you, wearing almost the identical costume could enter without sensation?".
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Well, who was it? ” impatiently.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Well, why do n't you speak?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Well- yes. ” “ Amicably? ” Ethelyn appeared somewhat distressed.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Were there not mutual recriminations? ” “ He made me loathe him! ” The words burst from her passionately and as though against her will.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Were you acquainted with Prince Kassim Bardai before you met him at Twin Turrets? ” Berenice's voice was quite steady as she gave reply.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Were you out on the terrace? ” he asked sharply.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Were you still engaged to Prince Kassim up to the time of his death? ” “ No. ” The reply was sharp and distinct.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What are you driving at, Ethie? ”"Why, simply that these bullets of salt have some significance which Lona perfectly well understands.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What did you mean by the third broken idol? ” Essy shivered.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What did you say that Hindu chap's name was? ” Max demanded eagerly.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What did you think of Sir Robert Grainger?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What do you mean by so big a game, Mr. Burton? ” Burton expanded under the stimulant of success.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What do you mean by'forced'you? ”"Well, he was unwilling to fulfil a certain promise-a private matter, ” she added with emphasis.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What do you mean? ” Borrowdean scarcely knew his own voice.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What happened when you entered the library through the terrace door?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What is all this commotion down here? ” Miss.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What is the matter, Lona?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What the deuce do you mean, Berenice?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What was this man's appearance- how was he dressed?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What were you doing downstairs at that time?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What were your relations with Prince Kassim?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ What's all the fuss about, Mrs. Barker? ” de- manded a boyish, excited voice from the hall.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ When and where did this proposal take place?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ When did you see her Ladyship put the key in the lock? ” Something in his manner or the bullying note in his voice antagonized the girl.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ When was the engagement broken? ” “ The night of the ball. ” “ Where? ” She hesitated.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ When was the engagement broken? ” “ The night of the ball. ” “ Where? ” She hesitated.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ When was this done? ” The coroner's tone was trenchant.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ When you gave the note to Lady Berenice Con- ingsby what happened? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Where am I?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Where did you find the key which you put in the lock of the hall door?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Where did you go upon leaving the library? ” The coroner's manner was increasingly magisterial.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Where did you put the paper for safe keeping? ” “ In the pocket of my dressing- gown. ” “ Not an especially secure hiding- place, was it?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Where did you put the paper for safe keeping? ” “ In the pocket of my dressing- gown. ” “ Not an especially secure hiding- place, was it?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who broke tha: idol? ” She pointed to the head of the image at her feet.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who is that woman with him?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who is the visitor, Borrowdean?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who the deuce is she? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who to? ” in her agitation forgetting her grammar.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who was the man who sent a note in to you by the Hindu butler? ”"I do not care to give his name.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Who were the others'interested in the discovery of that paper? ” “ Lona Bardai was one. ” Mrs. Dalrymple's voice was hostile.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Whom did you come here to see, eh? ” Borrow- dean did not relax his grasp on the youth's arm.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why Ethie! ” shaking hands with her somewhat con- fusedly, “ what are you doing in London?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why are you in such a hurry, Reggie?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why are you sorry for Miss Egerton? ” Mercedes Quero bit her lip as though regretting her words.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why could n't the precious pair have stayed in India?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why do n't you ask her all that happened?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why do n't you humour your maid, Miss Eger- ton? ” suddenly spoke up Ethelyn.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why do you take such an interest in Kassim Bardai? ” Borrowdean decided not to gratify his curiosity.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why does tha aask me?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why not Kassim Bardai as well as another? ” Bellamy smiled without rancour.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why not?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why should it matter to you, Mr. Bur- ton?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why the blazes did you do it, eh? ” Borrowdean told him.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Why work yourself into a passion because I did not fly to open the door for you?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Will you come into the house, Lady Berenice? ” she asked coldly.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Will you lend me your candle, Mrs. Dalrymple?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Will you state who concealed that paper in cy- pher? ” “ Sir Robert Grainger concealed it."
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Wo n't you intro- duce me, old chap? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You and Prince Kassim quarrelled as the result of his unwillingness to fulfil this promise?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You are shielding Coningsby then? ” His voice was hard.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You are sure of this? ” “ Perfectly. ” “ And what makes you so sure of this?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You are sure of this? ” “ Perfectly. ” “ And what makes you so sure of this?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You call her Berenice?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You do n't believe me, eh?
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You have every other key with you, have you not?"
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You know something about this key, my girl? ” Essy looked ready to cry with terror and embar- rassment.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You know this — this chap? ”.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You mean- the paper? ” tremulous joy, mixed with awe, in her voice.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You saw nothing, ” persisted the coroner, “ of a man in cavalier costume?".
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You think Greville Coningsby is mixed up in all this, Reggie? ”"I do n't know anything about Greville Coningsby.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You think it is no more than a practical joke then? ” “ This is the twentieth century and a civilized country,"she reminded him.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ You would n't like me to say so, now would you? ” Lona gave him a smile of tremulous content, her brief resentment gone.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Your engagement to the prince was not made public? ” The coroner's voice had grown harsh.
hvd.hnp9fq	“ Your feel- ings then toward Prince Kassim had changed?"
hvd.hxdlsk	A man has been murdered here, just a few min- utes ago?
hvd.hxdlsk	A survival from the beast?
hvd.hxdlsk	And how often do you find a worldly man like this Nealman getting out the Bible and reading it?
hvd.hxdlsk	And the murderer could n't swim with it clear across the lagoon. ” “ He might, a strong swimmer. ” “ But what's the sense of it?
hvd.hxdlsk	Are you satisfied that I am really his niece, Mr. Weldon? ” “ Perfectly. ” The coroner nodded, slowly.
hvd.hxdlsk	At least, that he had religious instincts? ” “ He had very fine instincts.
hvd.hxdlsk	Belonged to the same clubs, and all that?
hvd.hxdlsk	But are you sure you saw anything? ” “ Not sure at all.
hvd.hxdlsk	But what had been the method of its use?
hvd.hxdlsk	Could I afford to refuse such an offer as this?
hvd.hxdlsk	Could I ever forget it?
hvd.hxdlsk	Could any man have faked a cry like that? ” “ Heavens, no!
hvd.hxdlsk	Could there be any question which course I would choose?
hvd.hxdlsk	Did it seem to be good? ” “ It seemed so.
hvd.hxdlsk	Did she give the impression of trying to go — unseen? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlsk	Did the thought of- suicide ever occur to you? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlsk	Did you hear that cry a few hours ago? ” “ Good Heavens!
hvd.hxdlsk	Do you know anything about them? ” “ They all came recommended.
hvd.hxdlsk	Do you usually wait till long after midnight to go to bed? ” “ Not always.
hvd.hxdlsk	Does n't it show that he was planning something mighty serious — that he wanted to give his soul every chance before he took the last step?
hvd.hxdlsk	Does that suggest anything in your mind? ” “ I do n't see what you are getting at. ” “ You say it was a long- full- voiced cry.
hvd.hxdlsk	Fargo was not with you at the time? ” “ I was alone.
hvd.hxdlsk	Had Nopp spoken true — could there be a recur- rence of last night's tragedy?
hvd.hxdlsk	Have you a dog? ” “ Have n't shipped my dogs down here yet, but coons and such things come out of the woods every once in a while.
hvd.hxdlsk	He ca n't possibly make, it until day after to- morrow — ” “ Twenty- four hours, eh? ” “ It's after midnight now.
hvd.hxdlsk	He was not, out- wardly, according to the usual manifestations, a highly religious man. ” “ Yet you say he was intrinsically religious?
hvd.hxdlsk	His figure was so dim that it was KA S T L E K R A G S 227 “ What is it, Killdare? ” Weldon called.
hvd.hxdlsk	How did you happen to be included among his guests? ” “ I was a great friend of his friend, Mr. Van Hope.
hvd.hxdlsk	However, I'll gladly enough act as guard. ” “ You ’ve still got your gun? ” “ I made Pescini carry it.
hvd.hxdlsk	I always assumed that he was. ” “ He was a good servant? ” “ Excellent.
hvd.hxdlsk	I assumed he was an Eglishman. ” “ You did n't know that, for sure? ” “ No. ” Nealman hesitated, as if secretly startled.
hvd.hxdlsk	I did n't tell you about it because he asked me not to. ” “ It was your Bible, then, that we found in his room? ” “ Of course. ” “ Mr.
hvd.hxdlsk	I judged that the date of the missive was at least ten or twenty years prior to the civil war?
hvd.hxdlsk	I know noth- ing further except, of course, in regard to my housekeeper and chauffeur. ” “ Your chauffeur is a colored man? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlsk	I want to follow up some ideas that I have in mind. ” “ And when do you want to do it? ” “ Any time the opportunity offers.
hvd.hxdlsk	I'm sure he did n't commit suicide. ” “ How did he appear when you talked to him — excited, frenzied?
hvd.hxdlsk	If anything, it was a cry of — fear. ” “ Where did it come from? ” “ From the lagoon. ” The coroner's eyes snapped.
hvd.hxdlsk	Is n't it likely you'd begin thinking about the same thing for yourself?
hvd.hxdlsk	Jealousy?
hvd.hxdlsk	Killdare, did you know that fratricide is shockingly common?
hvd.hxdlsk	Last night I was reading. ” “ Some book that was in your room? ” “ A book I had carried with me.
hvd.hxdlsk	Leaving him to read the Bible? ” “ Very soon.
hvd.hxdlsk	Man, do you think to- day will clear the thing up? ” “ What chance is there to clear up such a mess in one day? ” The sheriff spoke moodily.
hvd.hxdlsk	Man, do you think to- day will clear the thing up? ” “ What chance is there to clear up such a mess in one day? ” The sheriff spoke moodily.
hvd.hxdlsk	May I ask how you happened to have a pistol in the pocket of dinner clothes? ” “ I was held up, once, ” Marten replied straightforwardly.
hvd.hxdlsk	Most of them will be content to hang around here, drink- ing my brandies and fishing in the lagoon. ” “ How is fishing in the lagoon? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	Mr. Pescini was with us until just before we heard the sound. ” “ How long before? ” “ I ca n't say for certain.
hvd.hxdlsk	Mr. Pescini, was Nealman a frequent visitor to your house? ” The witness seemed to stiffen.
hvd.hxdlsk	My father's brother. ” “ A blood relative, eh? ” The coroner spoke more slowly, carefully.
hvd.hxdlsk	My guests were here with me. ” “ All of them? ” Nealman paused, seemingly considerably dis- turbed.
hvd.hxdlsk	My old friend — ” “ Was it faked?
hvd.hxdlsk	My other guests ran out the same time. ” “ You did n't see them run out? ” “ No, but I met most of them outside.
hvd.hxdlsk	My uncle did n't commit suicide. ” “ You have only your beliefs as to that? ” “ Yes, but they are enough.
hvd.hxdlsk	Nealman was a man among men, was n't he, Fargo? ” “ Indeed he was 1 ” Fargo's eyes snapped.
hvd.hxdlsk	Nealman was given to reading the Bible at various times? ” “ On the contrary I do n't think he ever read it.
hvd.hxdlsk	Nopp called over, cheerily, “ Through for the night? ” 234 KA S T L E K R A G S “ Might as well, ” Slatterly answered.
hvd.hxdlsk	Once or twice he asked me for permission to go with my chauffeur — for a hair cut, and so on. ” “ What did you observe about his health?
hvd.hxdlsk	Or did you say it was long? ” “ I do n't think I said so.
hvd.hxdlsk	She went on tip- toe. ” “ Did she carry anything in her hands? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlsk	Suicide? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlsk	That was a lie, was it not?

hvd.hxdlsk	The library is back of the lounging- room. ” 108 KA S T L E K R A GS “ Then what did you do? ” “ I ran outside.
hvd.hxdlsk	Was I to cast sus- picion on a distinguished man on such fragile and uncertain grounds?
hvd.hxdlsk	Was I to tell of the cryptogram I had found beside the body, and its theft during the night?
hvd.hxdlsk	Was it not within the bounds of reason to assume that this cryptic message revealed the hiding place of the trea- sure?
hvd.hxdlsk	Was that the hand I had seen in the flash- light over my table the preceding night?
hvd.hxdlsk	We called back and forth, however. ” “ You kept track of one another all the time? ” “ I ca n't say that.
hvd.hxdlsk	We've been talking, and we've decided to send for some one to help you out. ” “ You have, eh? ” Slatterly stiffened.
hvd.hxdlsk	What became of the body?
hvd.hxdlsk	What do you think held him in? ” Fargo's hands gripped his chair- arms.
hvd.hxdlsk	What is it? ” “ Let's go in.
hvd.hxdlsk	What was it, please? ” Nealman's voice lowered perceptibly, and he answered with evident difficulty.
hvd.hxdlsk	What was to prevent last night's crime from recurring?
hvd.hxdlsk	What was to prevent the same thing from happening again?
hvd.hxdlsk	What's that book, open, on the table? ” I glanced at its leathern cover.
hvd.hxdlsk	Where else could he be? ” We turned once more into his room.
hvd.hxdlsk	Where's the knife?
hvd.hxdlsk	Why did you tell us what you did? ” “ I did n't see any use in trying to explain.
hvd.hxdlsk	Why should n't I direct the same method that made me a successful naturalist into the unrav- eling of this mystery?
hvd.hxdlsk	Would you say it was a cry of agony or of fear? ” “ Both.
hvd.hxdlsk	Yes — I would say it was a cry of both fear and agony. ” “ Then what did you do?
hvd.hxdlsk	You know who's coming? ” “ Lacone — Van Hope's detective. ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlsk	You're not angry, are you? ” No man could be angry at such a time; and she handed me a written copy of the message she had received over the wire.
hvd.hxdlsk	perhaps —? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ And I believe I see the way. ” K AS T L E K R A G S 123 “ You do, eh? ” He paused, studying my face.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ And how long have you occupied this house? ” “ Less than a month.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ And where were you, Mr. Dell, when the scream was heard? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Any luck? ” Nealman asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Bad news, old man? ” Van Hope blurted out at last, impulsively.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Because he was in the grasp of his assailant? ” “ Yes. ” “ Yet he still had his strength left.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Ca n't you take us up there? ” I was glad enough of the chance to be on hand for that search, so I did n't hesitate to an- swer.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Dell?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Did it occur to you that he was per- haps trying to get some religious consolation — just before he took some important or tragic step?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Did your party stay together in searching the gardens, or did they scatter out? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Do you s'pose we've got off on the wrong foot, altogether? ” “ What d'ye mean? ” “ Do you suppose that poor devil did himself in?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Do you s'pose we've got off on the wrong foot, altogether? ” “ What d'ye mean? ” “ Do you suppose that poor devil did himself in?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Do you s'pose we've got off on the wrong foot, altogether? ” “ What d'ye mean? ” “ Do you suppose that poor devil did himself in?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Good God, I did n't dream that, did I? ” he cried.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Have you seen Major Dell? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ How can you account for that, Miss Neal- man? ” Weldon asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ How did that happen?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ How did you happen to be fully dressed at the time of Nealman's disappearance last night? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ How further would you describe it? ” “ It was a distinct cry for help, ” Fargo an- swered.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ I suppose you are Mr. Killdare? ” she said quietly.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ If the murderer is among the servants we've got him — you found'em all, did n't you, Nealman? ” “ All of'em.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Is every one here? ” “ Here! ” It was Joe Nopp's voice, and he immediately joined us.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Is n't this the devil? ” Van Hope exclaimed as I came out.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Is there any use of hunting up Mr. Nealman to show us Florey's room? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Is there anything more we can do? ” “ Nothing more. ” His old confidence was gone from his voice.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ It K AS T L E K R A G S 61 sounded like the devil, did n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ It was very high and loud — I would say a very frantic scream. ” “ You would say it was a cry of agony?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ It's a dreadful thing, is n't it? ” she said.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ It's perfectly true. ” “ Then why, Miss Nealman, did you tell us a few minutes ago you had n't seen Mr. Nealman since afternoon?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Killdare, you're not troubled with a too- active imagination? ” “ I ’ll take a chance on it, ” I told him.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ My God, what's that? ” Van Hope asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ No trace of anything? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Some one phoned it in? ” “ De phone bell rung, jus'off de su'vant's rooms, ” he explained.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ The loss of some friend?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ This Charley Nixon? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Wait a minute, will you? ” he called.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Weldon? ” he asked jerkily.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What do you mean by coming here alone? ” I demanded.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What do you mean? ” “ Just that — he asked me to tell no one about my visit to the little study adjoining his room.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What do you think yourself? ” “ I think we're face to face with the worst deal, the biggest mystery that's come our way in years.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What have you found out, Slatterly? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What is it? ” he demanded in an irritable, rasping voice.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What is it? ” some one asked him, out of the gloom.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What kind of a gun can you scare up? ” “ I can get a gun, all right.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What now, Slatterly? ” Nopp asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What was it, Killdare? ” he asked me.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What was it? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What was the nature of the scream, Mr. Fargo? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ What's the use of fooling our- selves any more, Killdare? ” he replied quietly.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ When did you last see Mr. Nealman? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ When do you expect him? ” “ He ’s operating in the Middle West.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Who is going? ” “ Weldon, Nopp, you and myself — if you want to come.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Who is it — you, Killdare? ” He stared into my face, and his own looked white and masque- like in the moonlight.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Who is it? ” I asked quietly.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Why is it, Killdare?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Why were n't you with the others in the party? ” “ We were all running all over the house.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ Would you mind taking that post to- night, Marten? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You did n't remove your coat? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You did n't?
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You have made no subsequent discoveries? ” Just for a moment I was silent, conjecturing 112 KA S T L E K R A G S what my answer should be.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You have n't any idea how he died? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You heard the sound distinctly? ” “ Distinctly, but probably not so clearly as Mr. Nealman heard it.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You saw or heard nothing beyond that which these other gentlemen have testified? ” “ Nothing at all, ” I answered.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You say a telgram came for him, Wilkson? ” I asked gently.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You say that Nealman was your uncle? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlsk	“ You were n't aware, then, that he had an incurable malady? ” “ No.
hvd.hw1yqv	A detective? ” said she. hvd.hw1yqv A hundred thousand dollars. ” “ By what express company were they sent to you?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Alphonse Thauret? hvd.hw1yqv Are we at liberty to leave the train? ” Receiving an acquiescent nod the two friends walked to the other end of the coach.
hvd.hw1yqv	Are you in a hurry to take me with you?
hvd.hw1yqv	Are you sure of that? ”. hvd.hw1yqv But how should you avoid all that?"
hvd.hw1yqv	By the way, Mr. Barnes, would you mind saying where you found that button?.
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you feel the person take the pin from your hair?' hvd.hw1yqv Did you give her the amount demanded? ” asked Mr. Barnes.
hvd.hw1yqv	Discharged? hvd.hw1yqv Do n't like to eat alone, eh? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Have you the documents still?
hvd.hw1yqv	How was it set? ”It is made into a pin to be worn in the hair."
hvd.hw1yqv	In the first place, then, are you willing to say whether you ever knew a woman who called herself Rose Mitchel? ” “ Well, rather. hvd.hw1yqv Is not that an odd costume? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Jewels? hvd.hw1yqv Kissed you, did he?
hvd.hw1yqv	Lost one? hvd.hw1yqv Married or single? ”"Married; but my husband has been dead for several years."
hvd.hw1yqv	Mitchel, ” he began,how the deuce did that fellow Thauret get into this family? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Mr. Barnes, how was this thing done? hvd.hw1yqv Mr. Barnes, ” said Mr. Mitchel, “ I am sorry to dis- appoint you, but this is not my ruby. ”"Are you sure?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Mr. Mitchel, ” said Mr. Barnes,why did you object to my looking into this case? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Murderer? hvd.hw1yqv Not a part of your set?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Oho? hvd.hw1yqv Password?
hvd.hw1yqv	Queen, did you enjoy the opera last night?
hvd.hw1yqv	Seven,answered Mr. Mitchel, so promptly that Mr. Barnes could only repeat, amazed:"Seven?
hvd.hw1yqv	Then the other button has been: ost?
hvd.hw1yqv	Then what do you mean by saying that the set now is only six?
hvd.hw1yqv	Was Mr. Mitchel present that night?
hvd.hw1yqv	Well, ” said Mr. Barnes,have you succeeded?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Well, ” said the detective, “ can you manage it?
hvd.hw1yqv	Well, ” said the detective, “ what have you learned?
hvd.hw1yqv	What has all this to do with the case in hand?.
hvd.hw1yqv	Who is that girl?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why did you do that?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why not?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why, do you know Mr. Barnes also? ” cried Dora greatly surprised. hvd.hw1yqv You mean that you knew her?"
hvd.hw1yqv	'How much?'
hvd.hw1yqv	'Left you,'said I,'when?'
hvd.hw1yqv	* Do I understand you to seriously offer to commit a crime merely to decide a wager?
hvd.hw1yqv	18"Do you doubt it?
hvd.hw1yqv	19 the moment he is himself a — what you call it- suspect?
hvd.hw1yqv	213 I say it?
hvd.hw1yqv	279 I am indebted to you after all for recovering the stone, but tell us, how did you accomplish it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	31 Had any signal passed between these two detectives?
hvd.hw1yqv	53 cst, however, for he arose from his chair and, walking up to Mr. Barnes, he asked simply: “ Have you it with you?
hvd.hw1yqv	69 hoping to find the lost jewels, whereas I was not looking for the jewels, but for the thief. ” “ How could you do that?"
hvd.hw1yqv	A Boston man?"
hvd.hw1yqv	ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES, 153"Well, ” said he, angrily, “ what are you doing here?"
hvd.hw1yqv	After a pause he asked: “ You have known Mr. Mitchel for a number of years, I believe?"
hvd.hw1yqv	After securing the plunder, why did he thus lose it?
hvd.hw1yqv	Again she asked a question:"Money is not an object to you, in this? ” “ Miss Remsen, you insult me."
hvd.hw1yqv	Again, is Fisher the man who received the satchel from one of these men, and then took it to the hotel in New Haven?
hvd.hw1yqv	Am I accurate?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Am I not right, Mr. Barnes?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Am I right in supposing that you wish to marry Dora yourself? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Am I right?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Am I to understand that the losses annoy you, and that you wish an explanation? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	And aow will you excuse me whilst I complete my toilet?"
hvd.hw1yqv	And now tell me, are you going to catch the man who robbed the woman on the Boston train yesterday? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	And now — what are you going to do about it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	And what leads you to such a preposterous deduction?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Any man with a grain of sense, and with the knowledge of your wager, must see your hand in this?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Are you going to be a bungler all your life?
hvd.hw1yqv	Are you prepared to answer them?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Are you satisfied, Mr. Randolph? ”"Entirely.
hvd.hw1yqv	Are you still content?"
hvd.hw1yqv	At the further end some one was standing, and had attracted Mr. Mitchel's attention?
hvd.hw1yqv	Because I happened to be on the train and was compelled to submit to being searched by an order from a blundering detective?"
hvd.hw1yqv	But did he tell you which communicating door he came through?"
hvd.hw1yqv	But do I?
hvd.hw1yqv	But have you lost one?"
hvd.hw1yqv	But how have you recovered it?".
hvd.hw1yqv	But if one be born immoral, who is to blame?
hvd.hw1yqv	But let me ask you — how would you have hidden them, had you been in his place? ” This time the shot went home.
hvd.hw1yqv	But say, I'll tell you who can give it to you straight as a shingle. ” “ Ah, who is that? ” “ An old man named Neuilly.
hvd.hw1yqv	But tell me, Mr. Barnes, how did the man secrete the diamonds, I suppose they were diamonds, were they not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	But what class of crime will you commit?"
hvd.hw1yqv	But what is his name?"
hvd.hw1yqv	But who killed the woman?"
hvd.hw1yqv	By the way, I suppose you have the descrip- tion of the man who left the satchel at the hotel?
hvd.hw1yqv	Can you ask that? ” “ Can I?
hvd.hw1yqv	Can you ask that? ” “ Can I?
hvd.hw1yqv	Can you in some way arrange to have a talk with him yourself and draw him out, whilst I should be secreted where I could overhear the conver- sation?
hvd.hw1yqv	Come, what do you say; shall it be a thousand dollars?
hvd.hw1yqv	Could this be the den of a mur- derer?
hvd.hw1yqv	Did he know that the other also lived there, and did he go into her apartment after leaving his companion?
hvd.hw1yqv	Did n't you have brains enough to telegraph? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Did the man and the woman know each other in the southern city?
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you commit this robbery? ” “ Capital.
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you know a man named Leroy Mitchel who was at one time this woman's husband?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you know the person who would take the pin?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you mean to intimate that she has been murdered? ” Saying this he stopped for a second, and then slowly returned and sat down again.
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you pay the money demanded?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Did you see it done?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Do I make myself plain? ” “ Quite so,"said the detective, coldly, and much dis- appointed.
hvd.hw1yqv	Do n't you like him? ” “ Immensely.
hvd.hw1yqv	Do n't you see the danger that the younger sister is in, associating with that man?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you catch the idea? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you discover that, as you claim to have detected the thief, simply by looking at them?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you see the point?
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you see this ruby? ” taking a large ruby from the case before them.
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you suppose I could have an interview with the woman? ” “ You shall have it if you wish.
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you suppose I would track that man, and then let you turn Wilson on him again?
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you think that I committed this robbery? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you think that I would make an assertion only to draw back from by boast as soon as tried?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you think that your love is great enough to believe that when I do so it is from love of you, that I keep a secret from you?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you think this pale stone a match to mine?'
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you think you could identify this man Mitchel?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you wish me to continue the in- vestigation?
hvd.hw1yqv	Do you wish me to make a search for the stolen property?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Does it tally with that of my friend?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Dora- little sweetheart- do you, could you trust yourself to me?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Emily was dressed- but there, why should I attempt to describe what only a Worth could have furnished, and only wealth could afford?
hvd.hw1yqv	For what could she mean but that his chances were good, since if otherwise, how could the telling prevent her from winning her wager?
hvd.hw1yqv	Gentlemen, shall we drink to the health and success of Mr. Randolph? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Had that matchless schemer Mitchel sent her a note warning her to say that there were but seven in the original set?
hvd.hw1yqv	Has Thauret induced him to play, that together they may fleece the other members of the club?
hvd.hw1yqv	Has he, indeed? ” “ Yes!
hvd.hw1yqv	Have I wasted my time?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Have n't you any sense left at all?
hvd.hw1yqv	Have you followed it? ” “ No, I have not, ” she replied, snappishly.
hvd.hw1yqv	He said:"Mr. Mitchel, who do you think killed Rose Mitchel?"
hvd.hw1yqv	His name is Thauret?"
hvd.hw1yqv	How did it happen that you were travelling with so valuable a lot of jewelry? ” “ I have not lost jewelry, but jewels.
hvd.hw1yqv	How did you manage it?".
hvd.hw1yqv	How do I know that you are a detective at all? ” “ Quite right!
hvd.hw1yqv	How do you suppose that he would regain possession of the gems? ” “ By murdering the woman, ” answered the detective.
hvd.hw1yqv	How does that strike you? ”"My girl, you are a genius.
hvd.hw1yqv	How many buttons were made for this set?"
hvd.hw1yqv	How many did you have?"
hvd.hw1yqv	How many persons have left the train?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I am going to ask Bob"“ Bob?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I can not so easily pro- duce a mate to that ruby. ” “ Why not?
hvd.hw1yqv	I did ask you, Why?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I do n't suppose you told the girl to let me see her face, eh?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I had promised a friend to go, so we went. ” “ A gentleman?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I have promised not to. ” “ Promised not to, I do n't understand? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	I lived with her till she broke me. ” “ Do you know where she is now?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I mean that I half be- lieve that your sickness in Philadelphia was all a farce; that you came over, and yourself stole the gem. ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hw1yqv	I must give you further proof?
hvd.hw1yqv	I suppose on your trip up you saw nothing beautiful in the rain- storm that we had this afternoon? ” “ Nothing whatever,"said Mr. Randolph.
hvd.hw1yqv	I suppose you know that I am engaged to your friend? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	I suppose you know why I wished to stop your marriage?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I supposed that buttons were made by the thousand? ” “ Not all buttons.
hvd.hw1yqv	I think he cheated. ” “ Who was his partner?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I think he would like to kiss you, would you not, Mr. Neuilly?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I will wager that I can tell you what your theory is?"
hvd.hw1yqv	I wonder if he can keep an eye on that shrewd scoundrel?
hvd.hw1yqv	If he leaves he may take the jewels with him, yet what am I to do? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	If no one has left the train, then the thief must be aboard?"
hvd.hw1yqv	If so, how could she have retired and fallen to sleep so quickly?
hvd.hw1yqv	If so, why does he now let me know that he saw me?"
hvd.hw1yqv	If so, will she be in the plot, and make a hue and cry, so that the papers may make a noise?
hvd.hw1yqv	In a moment he had wiped the suds from his eyes, and looking at his friend he an- swered most unconcernedly: “ What of it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	In jewels? ” cried Mr. Barnes, startled.
hvd.hw1yqv	Is he so egotistic that he dares to guy me?
hvd.hw1yqv	Is he so sure that he can not be convicted?
hvd.hw1yqv	Is n't there one man that I can depend upon?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Is she not worthy of being my wife?
hvd.hw1yqv	Is that clear?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Is that it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Is that person our friend Thauret?
hvd.hw1yqv	Is that right?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Is that satisfactory?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Is there anything more you wish to say?"
hvd.hw1yqv	It looks like it, but why this sudden intimacy with Mitchel?
hvd.hw1yqv	It was to examine the buttons on my vest, was it not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	It would depend upon- my husband, would it not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Knew her name?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Legally I mean?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Looking him straight in the eyes he said in the coolest tones imaginable:"How did you discover that I am a physician?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Make a wager about what?"
hvd.hw1yqv	May I examine them?"
hvd.hw1yqv	May I have a few moments of strictly private conversation with you? ”"Certainly,"was the reply.
hvd.hw1yqv	May I see it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	May I tell you about it? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	May I?"
hvd.hw1yqv	May he not have bought his set from that very man, and may not this woman have stolen the duplicate set recently, and brought them to this country?
hvd.hw1yqv	Might I not thus do more harm than good by attracting your attention to a false scent?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Missing that, the woman would have naturally concluded that the jewels were gone, would she not?
hvd.hw1yqv	Mitchel, ” said Mr. Barnes,"will you wait a few minutes?
hvd.hw1yqv	Mr. Barnes, under the cir- cumstances I know you will excuse me, and forgive me, will you not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Mr. Thauret however, in a moment said: “ Are you not going to tell us the name of this sneak thief?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Mr. Thauret, shall I have a place set for you, also?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Now can you prove that she is not?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Now, Mr. Neuilly, I ask you, is not that the man who was known to you?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Now, if he was willing to tell me the name, and if he committed the crime, why did he remove the names from all the garments?
hvd.hw1yqv	Now, what was your object?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Or is that less sud- den than we know, and have they been long acquainted?
hvd.hw1yqv	Perhaps it may interest you?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Shall I read it to you?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Shall I tell you why?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Shall we go in?
hvd.hw1yqv	Shall we hear his report?"
hvd.hw1yqv	She did so, and I have never seen her again till to- day. ” “ Can you prove this story?"
hvd.hw1yqv	She looked up at him, evidently surprised at his tone, and asked: “ Is it important?"
hvd.hw1yqv	She takes your witness away from you, for I think you will stay, will you not, Mr. Neuilly?"
hvd.hw1yqv	So that is your little plot, is it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Suppose she married him! ” “ Well, what then? ” “ What then?
hvd.hw1yqv	Suppose she married him! ” “ Well, what then? ” “ What then?
hvd.hw1yqv	Suppose that as I were about to depart a sleep- ing, uncalculated- for pet dog should jump out and bark furiously?
hvd.hw1yqv	Tell me, were you near when the robbery occurred?
hvd.hw1yqv	That is your main objection to placing the case in my hands is it not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	That one is of course the thief, eh, Monsieur, do you not agree with me? ” He turned towards Mr. Barnes, addressing this last remark to him.
hvd.hw1yqv	The daugh- ter of the murdered woman? ”"Perhaps.
hvd.hw1yqv	The individual himself, or the antecedents, including both parentage and circumstances?
hvd.hw1yqv	The question to be answered is, did your friend steal those jewels?
hvd.hw1yqv	The thief evidently is clever, do you not think so?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Then I am to understand that Mr. Mitchel did not tell you in advance that he would do this? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	Then be- sides, if he did get out and take the things, where could he have hidden them, and how did they get to New Haven?
hvd.hw1yqv	Then what is it? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	They are six handsomely cut cameos, half the set having the profile head of Juliet, and the others a similar face of Romeo. ”"A romance?"
hvd.hw1yqv	This makes my action clear to you? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.hw1yqv	This one, they say, went crazy because his sweetheart gave him the mitten. ” “ Did you find out the woman's name?"
hvd.hw1yqv	This seemed extraordinary to us, you know, because why should it skip right over us and go to the big mountains?"

hvd.hw1yqv	Was it very wrong?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Was n't he sick?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Was there any significance in this fact?
hvd.hw1yqv	Was there anything peculiar about it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Was this the woman who had accompanied him to the theatre?
hvd.hw1yqv	Were these two men acquainted, accomplices, perhaps?
hvd.hw1yqv	What are you afraid of?
hvd.hw1yqv	What are you going to do about it?'”.
hvd.hw1yqv	What can that mean?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What deduction do you draw from that fact? ” “ What deduction!
hvd.hw1yqv	What do you advise?
hvd.hw1yqv	What do you mean?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What do you say, eh?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What do you see? ”"The moonlight shedding a beautiful ray over the lake."
hvd.hw1yqv	What do you think of it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What do you think? ” The girl once more became confused and stammered.
hvd.hw1yqv	What have you to do with the case?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What if I were to tell you that a detective watches me day and night?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What is it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What is it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What made you think that he had come to New York?
hvd.hw1yqv	What of them? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	What then? ” “ Why, stupid, that is what I send you down there for.
hvd.hw1yqv	What was your reason?"
hvd.hw1yqv	What wrong?"
hvd.hw1yqv	When he presented it to Cleopatra she cried out at him:'What fool's trick is this?
hvd.hw1yqv	Where did you meet him?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Where did you obtain this leather case, and what does it contain?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Who on earth has Miss Rem- sen abducted?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Why are you here?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Why did he place the satchel in the hotel, and then abandon it?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why did he show me that ruby and say that he meant to present it to his sweetheart?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why did you not frankly ask me to show you the buttons?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Why did you not prevent it? ”"I tried to do so, but could not.
hvd.hw1yqv	Why did you not report? ”"I went down again yesterday to try to learn more.
hvd.hw1yqv	Why do you ask?".
hvd.hw1yqv	Why not get one out and present it to the lady? ” “ You are mistaken, Randolph.
hvd.hw1yqv	Why not, since he had become the master of its mistress?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why, unless Rose Mitchel is an alias, and the real name is thus kept secret?
hvd.hw1yqv	Why, what object but a friendly one can I have?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Why? ”"I do n't know why, but that devil Mitchel is at the bottom of it.
hvd.hw1yqv	Why?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Will I go to Philadelphia to see him?
hvd.hw1yqv	Will he give it to her, and then rob her of it?
hvd.hw1yqv	Will that satisfy you? ”"Perfectly.
hvd.hw1yqv	Will you aid me? ”"That depends upon circumstances.
hvd.hw1yqv	Will you do me a great favor?
hvd.hw1yqv	Will you do this?
hvd.hw1yqv	Would you mind telling it to me?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Would you- would you be willing to wait? ” There was a tone of entreaty in her voice.
hvd.hw1yqv	Yet does it not require exquisite skill to carve so small an object?"
hvd.hw1yqv	Yet how many have ever ex- amined into the existing state of things, and analyzed the causes which make the criminal a possibility?
hvd.hw1yqv	Yet why should there be any trouble?
hvd.hw1yqv	You are not the thief, are you?"
hvd.hw1yqv	You can readily appreciate why we prefer to have this bauble in our own possession?".
hvd.hw1yqv	You do n't class me with Wilson, I hope? ” “ Never mind about Wilson; tell me your story."
hvd.hw1yqv	You do n't think I am horrid to bet, do you?
hvd.hw1yqv	You have noticed that, have you? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	You know what prompted me to speak? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	You may have one of those. ” “ What costume shall I ask for? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	You mischief, what have you to confess now?"
hvd.hw1yqv	You must be ready- Who is that?"
hvd.hw1yqv	You slept with him that night, what do you think?"
hvd.hw1yqv	You will forgive my sending you away?".

hvd.hw1yqv	selves to be searched?"
hvd.hw1yqv	sponsible?"
hvd.hw1yqv	were you?
hvd.hw1yqv	what about that button?
hvd.hw1yqv	would be excusable on the plea of mania?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ A Frenchman?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Abduction. ” “ Abduction?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ All similar to this?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ And that place is?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ And why so pray? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Any news of my wife's ruby? ” asked Mr. Mitchel, grasping the detective warmly by the hand.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Are you not admitting,"interrupted Mr. Barnes, “ that you harbored a murderous spirit? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Are you not getting inquisitive?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Are you not one?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Are you quite sure?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Are you really the great Mr. Barnes? ”"I am a detective, but scarcely a great one."
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Because it has my picture copied on it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ But Miss Remsen is not her mother? ” “ No, stupid.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ But how do you account for the fact that this button which I have is plainly a portrait of your friend, and a counterpart to those on your vest?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ But surely you must have guessed that —""Guessed what?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ But, ” he continued, “ will you tell me how you think the thief hid the treasure on the train?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Correct logic?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Did I understand you to say that this Rose Mitchel is your daughter?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Did he, indeed?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Did you know little Rose Mitchel?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Distrusted him?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Do n't you know our password? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Do you mean that you did not know it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Do you not know that it is suspicious for a man to submit to blackmail?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Do you remember the day you came to see me at the Fifth Avenue, about the button which you had found?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Had you any special reason for suggesting Number Ten? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Has Mr. Mitchel made Miss Remsen any present lately? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Have n't I done any good?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Have you never read Edgar Poe's tale, the one where a letter is stolen and hidden?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How are you this evening, Mr. Thauret?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How can you prove that?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How do you know that I can not prove it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How do you know that he is a Southerner?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How do you know that it is a man? ” asked Mr. Barnes amused at her impetuosity, aná pleased at the turn taken by the conversation.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How does that happen?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How long?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How should I know it?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ How so?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ I am thinking of having it set as a present to Miss Rem- sen. Will she not be envied when she wears it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ I did not suppose that you would go so far. ” “ So far as what?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ I do n't catch what you are driving at?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ I have one favor to ask. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ I owe you a dinner Mr. Barnes, and it shall be a good one, ” said Mr. Mitchel.. “ Would Mr. Barnes like to win another?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ I thought you said that you saw him steal the ruby?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ If you do not know it, why did you get married yesterday?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ In which, the robbery, or the murder?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Is that all?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Is this man Fisher the tool of Thauret?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ May I go now?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Nothing?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Of much?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ One of yours, why have you lost one?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Suppose I were to tell you that she is dead, and that she had left a hundred thousand dollars which is unclaimed?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Tell me quickly, have you succeeded? ” “ Yes, thoroughly."
hvd.hw1yqv	“ The Forty Thieves?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ The girl Rose Mitchel. ”* And who, pray, is the girl Rose Mitchel?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Then tell me, have you no suspicion as to who might have taken your jewel? ” The girl hesitated, and the detective watched her face keenly.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Then you accept the wager?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Then you refuse to help me?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Think?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ To the Remsens?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Upon what charge?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Well, did it?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Well, what is it?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Well? ” “ You have not done so.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What do I think of it?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What do you mean? ” asked the detective."
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What do you think? ” asked the conductor.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What has this to do with the criminal class? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What have you to say to that, Mitchel? ” “ Why, it is just that kind of thing that made me give up reading the newspapers.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What if I should decide to arrest you at once, and ask a jury to determine whether your original set included this button or not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What makes you so certain that this Lucette was my spy, as you term it?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What other affair?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What was it? ” “ That is a secret I have guarded for too many years to be willing to yield it now to a stranger.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What was the value of these jewels?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ What?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ When and where can I see this man? ”"He works in the shops of the Louisiana and Texas Railroad over in Algiers.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ When you say that no one has left the sleepers, I suppose you mean you saw no one leave?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Where are you going, Lucette? ” “ I have an errand to do, sir, ” she replied with a slight tremor,"Come into the parlor, first.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Where'll we go? ”"I think I'll take you to my hotel. ” And thither they proceeded.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Who are you? ” he asked roughly.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Why have n't you read the papers?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Why not?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Why so, Roy?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Why, suppose- suppose she fell in love with him?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Why?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Will you be seated?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Will you go with me, Mr. Neuilly?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Will you show me that seventh button, or breast- pin? ” “ That is asking a great deal, but I will grant your re- quest upon one condition.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Would you be willing to make a wager to that effect?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Would you mind — if I asked you to wait till — well, say the New Year? ” “ That is a long time, but if it is your will, I must."
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Wrong?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ Yes,"said he, “ and then? ”.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You admit then that you are her father?".
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You are Mr. Barnes the detective?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You are sure of this? ” “ Positive."
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You knew this girl?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You know him? ” Mr. Barnes was astonished that Mr. Mitchel should make such an admission.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You know of a Leroy Mitchel, who is now in this city? ”"I do.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You know that?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You mean as to making an arrest? ”"That is precisely what I mean.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You never knew me to make a failure, did you?
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You recovered the ruby?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You refuse? ” The words came from the other three men together.
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You wish to see me?"
hvd.hw1yqv	“ You would never guess, Mr. Barnes that that was once an ordinary button?"
hvd.hw1yqv	”"Found out all about it?
hvd.hxdh6a	3 ST. RONAN's PLACE “ What about it? ” asked the other blankly.
hvd.hxdh6a	58 SUSPECTED “ Now I wonder what he had picked up there? ” he said.
hvd.hxdh6a	75 76 SUSPECTED “ What were you talking about before I came down this morning? ” Hilary turned over the pages of the maga- zine in her lap.
hvd.hxdh6a	Am I a prisoner? ” “ A prisoner! ” interposed Eston.
hvd.hxdh6a	Any news of Silverdale? ” SUSPECTED 209 Wade shook his head gloomily.
hvd.hxdh6a	Any- way, I did it — got the papers — a bundle of let- ters — and handed'em to Eston. ” “ Was the girl there then? ” “ Sure.
hvd.hxdh6a	Are you going to trust me, or shall I pull things off by myself and perhaps upset the Cart? ” Garfield pulled his upper lip thoughtfully.
hvd.hxdh6a	But I suppose we got Eston? ” “ Oh, no.
hvd.hxdh6a	But why —? ” She held up a warning forefinger.
hvd.hxdh6a	Ca n't you be plain? ” “ I ’ll be plain then, my dear.
hvd.hxdh6a	Ca n't you see I'm busy? ” “ That ’s too bad, ” said a quiet voice.
hvd.hxdh6a	Can I assist you to get your things out? ” “ Thank you, ” said Hilary icily.
hvd.hxdh6a	Can you begin to put two and two together, Jimmie? ” The journalist leaned forward.
hvd.hxdh6a	Can you see me immedi- ately?
hvd.hxdh6a	Can you stand, Jimmie?
hvd.hxdh6a	Could he have inter- cepted the girls after he left you? ” Silverdale shook his head.
hvd.hxdh6a	Did anyone ever tell you that You have all the qualities of a consummate actress?
hvd.hxdh6a	Did you know it? ”- He choked back an expression used in mo- ments of stress by the Army in Flanders.
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you follow? ” Jimmie made a gesture of assent.
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you know he went straight off to Eston after he left you? ” Garfield drummed on his desk.
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you mean that? ” “ Mean it?
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you mean that? ” “ Mean it?
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you realize the danger? ” “ Danger? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you realize the danger? ” “ Danger? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you understand? ” The girl smiled, a half- mocking, cynical smile.
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you want me to come in with you?
hvd.hxdh6a	Do you- realize that you are suspected of the murder of Sir Harold Saxon?
hvd.hxdh6a	Eston explained to him that the murder was SUSPECTED 245 “ If you ’ve made up your mind about it, why trouble me? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdh6a	Ever hear of Sir Harold Saxon? ” “ The aëroplane man who pulled a million or so out of the war? ” 4 SUSPECTED “ That ’s the lad.
hvd.hxdh6a	Ever hear of Sir Harold Saxon? ” “ The aëroplane man who pulled a million or so out of the war? ” 4 SUSPECTED “ That ’s the lad.
hvd.hxdh6a	For one thing, she could never in- herit Saxon ’s fortune if she had killed him. ” “ Well? ” Eston shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hxdh6a	Get me? ” SUSPECTED 29 “ You mean you'll charge me with the mur- der? ”- “ I ’ll do that, ” said Garfield, nodding with grim emphasis.
hvd.hxdh6a	Get me? ” SUSPECTED 29 “ You mean you'll charge me with the mur- der? ”- “ I ’ll do that, ” said Garfield, nodding with grim emphasis.
hvd.hxdh6a	Get me? ” ‘ ‘ I get you.
hvd.hxdh6a	Get that?
hvd.hxdh6a	Has any- thing gone wrong? ” Essex shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hxdh6a	Has something happened? ”.
hvd.hxdh6a	Have you any matches? ” “ I have got one left, ” said the girl.
hvd.hxdh6a	He nodded to his “ aide. ” “ Got'em bottled up safe still, eh? ” Wade groaned.
hvd.hxdh6a	He seemed to be enjoying himself and I did n’t want to interfere. ” “ That so?
hvd.hxdh6a	He was with a bird 2 3 “ A girl? ” “ I said so, ” said Blunt aggrievedly.
hvd.hxdh6a	He wo n’t hold anything out on us. ” SUSPECTED 59 “ Why should he spirit them away, though? ” The chief inspector ’s eyes twinkled.
hvd.hxdh6a	He'll have me, if it ’s twenty years hence. ” “ Who ’s Eston? ” interrupted Jimmie.
hvd.hxdh6a	Hear me?
hvd.hxdh6a	His bank account shows gaps that no reasonable explanation but blackmail will cover. ” “ Surely he never paid by check? ” “ Not on your life.
hvd.hxdh6a	How do you propose to smoke them out? ” Garfield paused to light his pipe.
hvd.hxdh6a	How goes it? ” “ Bearing up, Silver.
hvd.hxdh6a	How ’s everything? ” “ Much as usual, Jimmie.
hvd.hxdh6a	How ’s things going with you? ” For a while conversation rambled round vari- ous points until at last Wade brought it to a definite question.
hvd.hxdh6a	I came be- cause of you. ” “ Of me? ” Eston took no trouble to conceal SUSPECTED 201 his sneering surprise.
hvd.hxdh6a	I do n’t pretend I ’d have known him until I be- gan to look for someone, other than a police Officer. ” “ Yes, but why should he do it?
hvd.hxdh6a	I have seen — I have heard — ” “ What? ” she snapped the question out de- fiantly.
hvd.hxdh6a	I have told the truth. ” “ You have nothing further to add — nothing to explain? ” The crook shook his head doggedly.
hvd.hxdh6a	I judge your man did n’t tell you the name of the lady? ” “ No. ” Silverdale detected something curi- Ous in the other ’s tone.
hvd.hxdh6a	I suppose this ex- plains your vivid and paternal interest in me?
hvd.hxdh6a	I thought then that they might believe I should be a witness against them — but even so, why should they handicap themselves?
hvd.hxdh6a	I wonder where she's got to? ” “ Do n’t know, I ’m sure, ” said the other, staring straight in front of him with absorption.
hvd.hxdh6a	I ’d have killed you both first! ” “ You would, eh? ” he said quietly.
hvd.hxdh6a	I ’ve put my proposition up to you, what do you think of it? ” 186 SUSPECTED Silverdale struggled to a sitting position.
hvd.hxdh6a	If Nora and Eston were concerned with the murder of Sir Harold Saxon, why did they trouble themselves about me?
hvd.hxdh6a	If you did n’t kill Sir Harold Saxon, Who did? ” White and shaken, Blunt shook his head dumbly.
hvd.hxdh6a	If you do n’t pull yourself together, what shall I do? ” He sat up, shakily.
hvd.hxdh6a	Is Miss Sloane there? ” “ She is not, ” answered Eston, and composed himself to his vigil.
hvd.hxdh6a	Is this just Pure altruism on your part to help a suspected murderess to escape, or what?
hvd.hxdh6a	It all sounds wildly fantastic and incredible, does n’t it, Jimmie?
hvd.hxdh6a	It is only right you should know that Rnuckleduster and Velvet have told their stories. ” “ Really? ” Eston's voice was icy.
hvd.hxdh6a	It would be an in- justice to saddle so chivalrous a man as your- self with a sordid, wretched woman such as I. Do n’t you agree with me?
hvd.hxdh6a	It's a problem, is n’t it? ” Eston studied her doubtfully.
hvd.hxdh6a	Meanwhile, I think we ’ll get back to town. ” “ Why? ” “ Jimmie, neither your brain nor your ob- servation is working at full pressure.
hvd.hxdh6a	Might he be so bold as to inquire whether it was a runaway match?
hvd.hxdh6a	Mr. Garfield upstairs? ” Wade shrugged his burly shoulders.
hvd.hxdh6a	Now if you ladies are ready! ” “ Will you arrange about getting the luggage down, dear? ” said Hilary to Nora.
hvd.hxdh6a	Our men know him well. ” “ Jimmie Silverdale — the Daily Wire man? ” “ That ’s he.
hvd.hxdh6a	Really, I'm not* fraid of the police — are you? ” There was challenge in her gray eyes — a con- ºmptuous challenge which somehow worried him.
hvd.hxdh6a	See here? ” He placed a broad thumb- mail on the reverse of Hilary ’s envelope, where a tiny faintly pen- ciled word could be seen.
hvd.hxdh6a	See that board up there? ” He pointed to a notice: WELL- APPOINTED FLATS TO LET APPLY CARETAKER No.
hvd.hxdh6a	See? ” SUSPECTED 19- “ Meaning you're going to prevent us going up? ” “ Sorry, old Sport.
hvd.hxdh6a	See? ” SUSPECTED 19- “ Meaning you're going to prevent us going up? ” “ Sorry, old Sport.
hvd.hxdh6a	She ’s some looker, is n’t she? ” The casual words stuck in his throat.
hvd.hxdh6a	Should I have said — Lady Saxon? ” Hilary Sloane's foot came abruptly to the floor.
hvd.hxdh6a	Silverdale? ” questioned his interrupter smoothly.
hvd.hxdh6a	Some- where, somehow, while we are walking along to- gether what happens —? ” “ You take your eyes off him, ” broke in Rack smilingly.
hvd.hxdh6a	Something must have gone wrong — yet what could have gone wrong?
hvd.hxdh6a	Suppose it's — by Heaven, Gar- field I? ’ Garfield's eyes were still twinkling.
hvd.hxdh6a	Suppose you go down for attempted murder?
hvd.hxdh6a	Surely I am entitled to consider things?
hvd.hxdh6a	Tea? ” The other gave his order and, as the waitress departed, leaned across the table.
hvd.hxdh6a	That she is a widow? ” A flicker of surprise passed across Jimmie's face to be instantly suppressed.
hvd.hxdh6a	That ’s a lie, is n’t it, Freddie? ”- He spoke mildly without any change of voice, and waited for a second for an answer to his challenge.
hvd.hxdh6a	That ’s what it all comes to, does n’t it? ”- “ Put it that way, if you like. ” She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.
hvd.hxdh6a	The police are in the flat, but they ’ve got their mouths shut tight as oysters. ”-- “ Seen Garfield? ” asked Jimmie.
hvd.hxdh6a	They ’ve slipped us! ” “ Have they? ” said Garfield resolutely.
hvd.hxdh6a	Understand? ” “ Good- by and thank you, ” said Hilary — in a low voice.
hvd.hxdh6a	Understand? ” “ Sure, I get you.
hvd.hxdh6a	Was she play- ing with him?
hvd.hxdh6a	Was she playing with him?
hvd.hxdh6a	Was this chatter, this brightness — a pose?
hvd.hxdh6a	Were they all friendly and happy together? ”- The cab- driver jerked his head in assent.
hvd.hxdh6a	What about it? ” ‘ ‘ Nope! ” declared Knuckleduster and shut his jaws tight.
hvd.hxdh6a	What about it? ” “ Cut out the kid stuff, ” said Wade.
hvd.hxdh6a	What am I going to have? ” He studied the menu with deliberate care and chose soundly and solidly.
hvd.hxdh6a	What are you going to have?
hvd.hxdh6a	What are you trying to dodge me for? ” “ Why, it ’s Mr. Wadel ” Jack made an ef- fort to conceal profound astonishment.
hvd.hxdh6a	What could I do?
hvd.hxdh6a	What d'yer take me for? ” Eston saw a figure round a bend towards them — the man Nora Dring had referred to as Jim.
hvd.hxdh6a	What did you Want? ” “ Let me alone, ” protested Blunt.
hvd.hxdh6a	What do you make of it, Silver? ” The journalist shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hxdh6a	What happened to Velvet? ” “ No one knows.
hvd.hxdh6a	What have you done with Silverdale? ” º There was a chuckling laugh from below.
hvd.hxdh6a	What have you got to say about it? ” An animal growl came from the white lips of the trapped man.
hvd.hxdh6a	What luck? ” “ I ’ve got all the facts up to now, Fort, ” said Silverdale.
hvd.hxdh6a	What on earth's the mat- ter? ” She laughed a trifle tremulously.
hvd.hxdh6a	What was Hilary Sloane doing in this galley?
hvd.hxdh6a	What were you doing at Chelsea this morning? ” “ So you know about that, ” said Jimmie slowly.
hvd.hxdh6a	What ’ll you'ave? ” “ Dry ginger, please, ” said Wade with in- ward nausea.
hvd.hxdh6a	What ’s the matter? ” Her apparent light- heartedness took Jimmie unawares.
hvd.hxdh6a	What's all this parade of mystery?
hvd.hxdh6a	When Eston was caught — what then?
hvd.hxdh6a	When will you be ready to start? ” “ In half an hour.
hvd.hxdh6a	Where can we go?
hvd.hxdh6a	Where did you see him? ” “ He was'aving dinner with a baby doll up at Duller's in Piccadilly.
hvd.hxdh6a	Where shall I find Garfield? ” “ Down at the flat, looking into things.
hvd.hxdh6a	Where will you be then?
hvd.hxdh6a	Which one of the young ladies was it, might he ask?
hvd.hxdh6a	Why go out of his way to look for us?
hvd.hxdh6a	Why had not the police carried out their raid?
hvd.hxdh6a	Why refuse?
hvd.hxdh6a	Why should n't I? ” “ You accuse me of keeping you a prisoner, ” he went on quietly.
hvd.hxdh6a	Why should she want to vanish?
hvd.hxdh6a	Why this formality? ” A dimple rippled momentarily in her cheek.

hvd.hxdh6a	Why, what ’s the matter with Hilary? ” “ Fainted, I think, ” said Jimmie.
hvd.hxdh6a	Will you? ” He laughed.
hvd.hxdh6a	Wo n’t you come in?
hvd.hxdh6a	You are going to help us out of town? ” He saw relief in the gray eyes as he nodded.
hvd.hxdh6a	You believe me, do n't you?
hvd.hxdh6a	You do n’t know her, I suppose, Velvet? ” The crook had been surveying Silverdale nar- rowly.

hvd.hxdh6a	You let him go, also? ” “ I took a chance.
hvd.hxdh6a	You will take a million and I will take the rest. ” “ And what about the police? ” A sneer passed across Eston ’s face.
hvd.hxdh6a	You ’ll do it — Jimmie? ” The man drew a deep breath.
hvd.hxdh6a	You're not making me this offer out of sheer altruism, I suppose? ” “ Scarcely, ” said Eston dryly.
hvd.hxdh6a	what was that? ” There was a shout behind them and, with a hasty glimpse over his shoulder, the reporter caught sight of men running.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ A SUSPECTED- 147 conspiracy to grab all the money Saxon made? ” “ Not the slightest doubt of it.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Ah! ” “ What do you make of this?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Am I speaking to Chief- Detective Inspector Garfield? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Are you there, Eston?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Are you trying to manufacture a case against this girl? ” he asked coldly.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Ask me? ” retorted Eston sarcastically.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Beautiful day, is n’t it? ” said he, making the opening gambit of a man willing for desul- tory conversation.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Been thinking it over? ” Rnuckleduster ’s gaze never shifted from his feet.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Big enough for you, eh? ” chuckled the other ponderously.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Boating? ” asked Eston.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Did you want anyone, sir? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Do you know that one of the women you took away from Glebe Crescent this morn- ing was Hilary Sloane — the girl whom we are looking for?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Do you know what an accessory after the fact is, Mr. Eston? ” He scowled at her.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Does that mean that you climb down? — that you are agreeing to marry me after all???
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Does that mean that you climb down? — that you are agreeing to marry me after all???
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Does that mean that you climb down? — that you are agreeing to marry me after all???
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Does that mean that you climb down? — that you are agreeing to marry me after all???
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Good heavens — don’t I know her well enough to know that she ’s dead straight? ” snarled Jimmie, answering his own thought aloud.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Has n’t it? ” said Velvet scornfully.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Have n’t you kept me hanging about here long enough?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Have you ever heard of Harold Saxon? ” “ I do n’t know.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ He accused you of the murder? ” “ He warned me I was suspected, ” said Hilary stonily.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Hope I'm not dis- turbing you? ” he apologized.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ How did things strike you?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ How long have you been living here, Silver? ” he continued genially.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ How's it going?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ I ai n’t been near Twyford to- day and I can prove it. ” “ How did you know this assault took place at Twyford? ” retorted Wade.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ I did n’t ask you anything. ” “ How'd you get on to this, anyway? ” asked the other.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ I guess I ’ve met you before, have n't I, Mr. Grimes?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ I suppose it ’s waste of breath calling you a liar? ” “ Ah, you are a little astonished.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ If I cough up all I know, you'll let me make a clean get- away? ” Wade hesitated.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ If all this is true, ” he said, “ and not a fantastic nightmare, where do I come in?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Is Mr. Garfield there?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Is that you, Jim? ” and the trapdoor swung back.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Knuckleduster? ” repeated Jack echoing the name.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Like that, is it?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Not overdone it, have you? ” he asked, more in a tone of casual curiosity than of one doubt- ful whether he has or has not assisted at murder.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Now our immediate problem seems to be where are we and how do we get out?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Now — getting right down to things — what's the game? ” Silverdale was absorbed in rolling a cigarette.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Now, how did you get away from Eston? ” “ Oh, there was nothing in that.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ She is not Lady Saxon? ” He pointed a slim finger at Hilary.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Sure about that, old man? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ That you, Garfield?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ The girl whose photograph was found in Saxon ’s flat? ” “ That's the lady.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Then why the policemen did n’t you let us hear from you?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ We com- ing back here? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Well, what does Miss Dring say? ” Nora Dring, her face white, her knees trem- bling, collapsed in a heap at Eston ’s feet.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Well? ” he asked at last.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What are we going to do about that swine? ” he said.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What are you hiding in there? ” He jerked his thumb vaguely in the direction of Saxon ’s flat.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What do you mean by it? ” “ Lemme alone, guv'nor, ” said the man.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What do you think? ” asked Garfield.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What does she say? ” asked Garfield.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What for? ” The other was brusque.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What happened? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What has that to do with me? ” she asked and he could see her lips were dry.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What have you been saying to her? ” she demanded angrily.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What is it? ” she whispered.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What sort of a job?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What were you doing in this flat? ” broke in Garfield.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What were you driving at, anyway? ” Silverdale intervened for the first time.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What ’s the game, old bean?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What's that you say? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What's the game, Hilary? ” She looked up, startled, apprehensive.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What's the game? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What's the matter, Jimmie? ” Garfield ’s suave voice broke in on him as from a great dis- 32 SUSPECTED 33 tance.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What's the next move?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ What? ” she demanded.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Who are they?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Who in blazes are you, and what do you mean buttin ’ in on us like this? ” “ Sock'i m in the jaw, ” advised his inamo- rata considerately.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Who is she? ” “ That's what we ’ve got to find out, ” said Garfield.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Who sent you?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Who ’s on the job for the Yard? ” “ Rack, the divisional man, handled it at first.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Why have I been helping you all this while, blindly, unhesi- tatingly?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Why not? ” he asked calmly.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Why waste time? ” he asked coldly.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Why, you scoundrel, you do n’t mean to say you did the same thing?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Why? ” “ Only there's that stuff they took off me.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Will you come down to this place where Miss Hilary Sloane hung out, sir? ” “ I was going to suggest it.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ Wo n't it, Hilary? ” Tied though he was, it took the united strength of his two assailants to hold Jimmie Silverdale back then.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You do n’t expect to get by on that bluff, do you? ” “ Bluff l ’ ” Silverdale was scornful.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You do n’t know the lady, do you? ” Silverdale pulled himself together, though for a perceptible second he hesitated.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You do n’t think I was thinking you committed this murder, do you? ” A slight touch of contempt crept into his voice.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You do n’t think — that? ” “ I think nothing, Hilary.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You got my note? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You want to go away? ”- “ Yes.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You ’re 252 SUSEPECTED sure you have got that ring all right? ” “ Sure.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You ’re not going back on that, Jimmie?
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You ’ve heard of this affair at Chelsea? ” “ I have n’t been in five minutes.
hvd.hxdh6a	“ You? ” “ Yes, even so humble a person as myself, Miss Sloane.

hvd.hnn6vz	Do you mean to pretend you are Scotch? ” says Fisher, frowning as well as breathing at me. hvd.hnn6vz Fight? ” he screamed.
hvd.hnn6vz	Have you ever known a woman before? ” I asked. hvd.hnn6vz Have you seen many Frenchmen?
hvd.hnn6vz	How do you do? ” He did not, however, take it; yet he evidently did not know what to do instead. hvd.hnn6vz I do not know what mis- take you have made, but my guests never ap- peared. ”"Is that the truth? ”"M. le Marquis! ”"Pardon.

hvd.hnn6vz	Is this all the aid you bring? ” he asked. hvd.hnn6vz It ai n't nothing I can lend a'and in, sir?"

hvd.hnn6vz	Who the devil are you, and what are you do- ing here, sir? ” he repeated, sternly. hvd.hnn6vz You are really feeling better to- day?"
hvd.hnn6vz	You both refuse to settle your differences ami- cably? ”I refuse,"replied Lumme.

hvd.hnqmg9	But in what especial way? ” Her nose crinkled slightly, her whole face was irrad- iated with the smile of a naughty child.
hvd.hnqmg9	But it's like every other game; it takes a lot of brains to be anything but a piker in it, and even then what do you get?
hvd.hnqmg9	But the sapphires?
hvd.hnqmg9	But then you!ll stay to dinner, of course?
hvd.hnqmg9	But what then are you going to do? ” “ Clear out, ” Colvin responded laconically.
hvd.hnqmg9	But where have you been? ” She flashed a mocking glance at him.
hvd.hnqmg9	But —?"
hvd.hnqmg9	By Jove, he must be forty now — just about the age of this Vernon person?
hvd.hnqmg9	By chance — or was it by chance?
hvd.hnqmg9	Ca n't that doctor of yours do something for you?
hvd.hnqmg9	Can you get down here by one? ” Son 254 THE HORNET'S NEST “ Oh, yes,"she agreed.
hvd.hnqmg9	Cer- tainly, you do not suspect him? ” “ The Colvin papers were taken,"he answered moodily.
hvd.hnqmg9	Colvin, with those proofs back in his hands, can — Good Lord, what ca n't he do? ”.
hvd.hnqmg9	Could it be — Was it possible?
hvd.hnqmg9	Did chance, fortune, fate ever deal the cards like that?
hvd.hnqmg9	Did it mean that she had recognized him?
hvd.hnqmg9	Do n't you think it's about time we talked a little of you? ” He leaned his elbow on the table, his cheek on his hand.
hvd.hnqmg9	Do n't you —? ” He stopped short, staring before him.
hvd.hnqmg9	Do you think for a minute that you have fooled me all these years?
hvd.hnqmg9	Do you understand? ” Freda's mouth felt dry.
hvd.hnqmg9	Do you understand? ” “ Perfectly, sir. ” With the “ Hornet's ” assurance, Wimms had resumed his normal manner and expres- sion.
hvd.hnqmg9	Does it lead into the hall? ” She started toward it as she spoke, but he raised a quick hand in caution.
hvd.hnqmg9	Expect to make a killing on the tips that I could give you?
hvd.hnqmg9	Frame- up, eh? ” He had leaned his elbows on the table, his piercing, Whitefield eyes on Colvin.
hvd.hnqmg9	Frighten you much? ” She lifted her shoulders slightly.
hvd.hnqmg9	Go down, and try to clean up the Street, eh?
hvd.hnqmg9	Had time stood still?
hvd.hnqmg9	Have I really stumbled on a scan- dal in ’ igh life — midnight rendezvous, and all that sort of thing?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Have you any business or profession?"
hvd.hnqmg9	He divined something of her thought, but what could he say?
hvd.hnqmg9	He drew one deep breath, and lifted his eyes — searchlights of hope — to the “ Hornet. ” “ Do you mean it?
hvd.hnqmg9	He went abroad, did n't he?
hvd.hnqmg9	Her mo- tive?
hvd.hnqmg9	Her strength was obvious, but what were her weaknesses?
hvd.hnqmg9	Hodgeson?
hvd.hnqmg9	Hope?
hvd.hnqmg9	How can I, when every avenue is closed, every opportunity is barred?
hvd.hnqmg9	How can you have him arrested under the circumstances — a robbery and a murder?
hvd.hnqmg9	How could I have foreseen it?
hvd.hnqmg9	How deeply are they tied up together?
hvd.hnqmg9	How do you and she happen to be on such intimate terms that she has persuaded you to lengthen out an afternoon call to take in dinner?
hvd.hnqmg9	How long have you known her?
hvd.hnqmg9	How soon will you be here? ” “ Five or ten minutes."
hvd.hnqmg9	How was I to know that those stones might not come into my hands?
hvd.hnqmg9	How will you have your tea? ”.
hvd.hnqmg9	How, for instance, would you employ the fifty thousand dollars I am to pay you?
hvd.hnqmg9	I had a lady customer at the same time. ” “ A lady customer?
hvd.hnqmg9	I propose to find out who the man is, who was here to see her last night. ” THE HORNET'S NEST 67"Did n't she tell you? ” “ Not she.
hvd.hnqmg9	I shall be the go- between. ” “ But-?
hvd.hnqmg9	I shall do so now. ” “ Yes? ” Her voice held a curious, waiting qual- ity.
hvd.hnqmg9	I wonder if many lives are doomed to such a horrible realization of it as mine? ” She had not asked the question of him, but he an- swered it.
hvd.hnqmg9	I'm Heinpstead — Fletcher Hempstead, you know. ” “ What? ” Whitefield gripped the arms of his chair.
hvd.hnqmg9	I've been looking for you to show up every day for a week. ” “ A week?
hvd.hnqmg9	If they ca n't get you any other way, they'll frame you; you know that, do n't you?
hvd.hnqmg9	If we are successful to- night, and if I may really stand clear once more before the world, will you help me to build up a future?
hvd.hnqmg9	Is n't there some way that we can get together for about fifteen minutes?
hvd.hnqmg9	Is that a new frock? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqmg9	Is that it? ” “ I want to be your pupil, ” she said with charming deference.
hvd.hnqmg9	It is in my possession now. ” “ But-? ” Ashe looked at him dubiously, and hesitated.
hvd.hnqmg9	It is n't much use to try to do any talking while the servants are in the room, is it?
hvd.hnqmg9	It would be odd, if I should happen to run across this friend of my wife's, would n't it? ” THE HORNET'S NEST 151 Ashe groaned impatiently.
hvd.hnqmg9	Let me see; you'll probably be at home after six, wo n't you?
hvd.hnqmg9	Looks like it on the surface, does n't it? ” he said.
hvd.hnqmg9	Low- down crook and thief, eh? ” “ We Whitefields ca n't afford to indulge in such pot- and- kettle repartee among ourselves, Uncle Wil- liam.
hvd.hnqmg9	Might it not be the “ Hornet'after all, just pulling off a new stunt on us? ” “ Pos- i- tively not."
hvd.hnqmg9	Muriel Fletcher?
hvd.hnqmg9	Muriel, have you a key to the hall door?
hvd.hnqmg9	Muriel?
hvd.hnqmg9	Must be something doing to bring you around at this time of night? ” THE HORNET'S NEST 113 Cruger sank down into a chair, and breathed heav- ily.
hvd.hnqmg9	My Lord, Sammy, why did n't you have sense enough to let me know sooner?
hvd.hnqmg9	Noth- ing unexpected has come up?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Now what's the connection?
hvd.hnqmg9	Oh, my dearest, listen to reason, listen to me. ” “ Dangers? ” She considered that a moment.
hvd.hnqmg9	Oh, tea?
hvd.hnqmg9	Oh, where did you come from?
hvd.hnqmg9	One of them was this Vernon. ” “ At Martina Vansittart's?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Partners? ” He caught up the other's offer.
hvd.hnqmg9	Perhaps I am asking too much, but if you could just trust me a little —? ” Their horses'feet made no sound on the soft loam of the bridle path.
hvd.hnqmg9	Perhaps you will explain how you happened to know that he would return it, also his name, and at what hour he would be here?
hvd.hnqmg9	Perhaps — who knows?
hvd.hnqmg9	She has a feeling that we have been treating her a little too much- How was it, you expressed it, Muriel?
hvd.hnqmg9	She has heard a good deal about me, you know, and she may have wanted to satisfy her curiosity. ” “ And did she? ” “ I do n't think so.
hvd.hnqmg9	Somebody else to see them folks? ” she grumbled at him.
hvd.hnqmg9	Something purely personal and confidential. ” “ Yes? ” still interrogatively.
hvd.hnqmg9	Strong box? ” he scoffed.
hvd.hnqmg9	Suppose, then, I agree to be at your house with the papers at exactly half- past six o'clock?"
hvd.hnqmg9	THE HORNET'S NEST 275 “ Just want to inform me of your intentions, eh?
hvd.hnqmg9	That can hardly be pleasant? ” He gave his quick, French shrug.
hvd.hnqmg9	That night at the dance — How could I accept what was so rashly and generously offered in a moment of beautiful impulse?
hvd.hnqmg9	That's right, is n't it?
hvd.hnqmg9	That's what comes of using unskilled labor. ” 94 THE HORNET'S NEST “ You mean you did n't do it?"
hvd.hnqmg9	The fifteen years I spent in hell are gone like smoke, but alone Muriel, Muriel, do you realize what a part habit plays in our lives?
hvd.hnqmg9	The lady that called on Mr. Vernon?
hvd.hnqmg9	The question is, then: Will he meet Muriel again, or will he not?
hvd.hnqmg9	Then where are they? ” His jaws were set like a trap.
hvd.hnqmg9	There was nothing, nothing in the world, that ever could stop him when he took the bit in his teeth?
hvd.hnqmg9	These, baldly, were: Where did you meet Martina?
hvd.hnqmg9	This matter is going to be sifted to the bottom. ”"Is it so important as that? ” she asked ingenu- ously.
hvd.hnqmg9	To come to the point then: Are you the Mr. Vernon who called to see Mr. Whitefield's niece the night of the robbery which occurred at our house?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Try to look at it in that way, wo n't you? ” She merely nodded, and starting up her horse, rode for nearly a mile in silence.
hvd.hnqmg9	Vernon, did you ever hear of my uncle, Wil- liam Whitefield, who owns this house?
hvd.hnqmg9	Vernon, do you remember that terrible and true line of Oscar Wilde's, “ And each man kills the thing he loves'?
hvd.hnqmg9	Vernon?
hvd.hnqmg9	Vernon? ” Her voice was so low that he barely caught it, and yet how familiar those soft, hesi- tating tones.
hvd.hnqmg9	Vernon?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Was Ollie Darnton the best that you could do?
hvd.hnqmg9	Was it a ruse to get him back into the game and into their power again some way?
hvd.hnqmg9	Was it not plausible to consider her mentally un- balanced?
hvd.hnqmg9	Was it so important that you could n't wait?
hvd.hnqmg9	Was she merely casting about in the dark, trying to solve the puzzle of his identity, or had she succeeded?
hvd.hnqmg9	Was the spinning ball to drop red for him at last after all these years of black?
hvd.hnqmg9	Well, what if it were?
hvd.hnqmg9	Were they really bounded by walls, the confines of a room?
hvd.hnqmg9	What about yours?
hvd.hnqmg9	What did anything mat- ter?
hvd.hnqmg9	What did they mean by letting that child wander about the streets, and give diamond pendants to stray tramps?
hvd.hnqmg9	What did you mean by it? ” He eyed her sharply.
hvd.hnqmg9	What had the little wretch in mind?
hvd.hnqmg9	What is it they say on them 52 THE HORNET'S NEST postal cards the LeBeaus down on the first floor gets from their brother on the other side?
hvd.hnqmg9	What is it you want? ”"Simply this.
hvd.hnqmg9	What is life without excitement?
hvd.hnqmg9	What on earth did she want? ”"Jewelry,"returned Colvin laconically.
hvd.hnqmg9	What on earth, he wondered, could have brought Wimms down there?
hvd.hnqmg9	What sort of a wild goose chase was he setting himself?
hvd.hnqmg9	What stopped you?
hvd.hnqmg9	What the deuce does this mean, man?
hvd.hnqmg9	What the devil did you mean by it?
hvd.hnqmg9	What was your motive? ” He paused a moment, but Colvin did not answer.
hvd.hnqmg9	What's back of all this, Freda?
hvd.hnqmg9	What's he good for, anyway? ”"I am all right. ” She sat up resolutely.
hvd.hnqmg9	When and where do I get those papers? ” She hesitated a moment.
hvd.hnqmg9	Where have you been all these years? ” She threw her arms about him, kissing and hugging him.
hvd.hnqmg9	Whitefield is out, eh? ” he repeated the sec- retary's report.
hvd.hnqmg9	Who are you, anyway, and what is your business in life?
hvd.hnqmg9	Who can tell, though, how long luck like that will hold? ” There was a fatalistic expression on his haggard face.
hvd.hnqmg9	Who shall I say wishes to speak to her? ” “ Hodgeson, her tailor. ” In a moment Muriel's voice sounded in his ear.
hvd.hnqmg9	Why do n't you stay and take lunch- con with me?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why had he not thought of him before?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why has she never spoken of you?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why not remain ‘ Vernon'?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why should a man like you have undertaken a profession like yours?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Why the devil do n't you make some move? ” That was what he wanted to say.
hvd.hnqmg9	Why was he thinking of all that?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why waste time on childish abstractions?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why, William, do you remember Fletcher?"
hvd.hnqmg9	Why, just at this especial time, did he have to be made to look so repulsive — so sinister?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why?
hvd.hnqmg9	Why? ”.
hvd.hnqmg9	Will you help me try and make a cornerstone of what the builders rejected?
hvd.hnqmg9	Will you sit down and have a cigar?
hvd.hnqmg9	Will you? ” A wave of emotion swept over her face.
hvd.hnqmg9	With every one at home, and the lights on?
hvd.hnqmg9	With those guards outside?
hvd.hnqmg9	Wo n't you come to my sitting- room a few minutes?
hvd.hnqmg9	Wo n't you sit there? ” She indicated a chair on one side of the table, and herself took another on the opposite side.
hvd.hnqmg9	Yes; but how about Mu- riel?
hvd.hnqmg9	Yet why these promises to the lady, and why do you come with them to me? ” He frowned.
hvd.hnqmg9	You can even wash your face, sir, if you use a bit of care. ” “ Who wants to wash one's face, and use a bit of care? ” Ashe grumbled.
hvd.hnqmg9	You never heard of a brand- new scar before, did you? ” He did his best to speak lightly.
hvd.hnqmg9	You trailed me down here like this?

hvd.hnqmg9	| But as this question took forn, in his mind, with all its improbabilities, there came another: How could he make sure?
hvd.hnqmg9	— I, who had worse than nothing?
hvd.hnqmg9	‘ From the desert, you come to we?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ A person's environment is so apt to be an expression of character, do n't you think?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ A scar?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ A scar? ” she gasped.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ About seven. ” “ And the value? ” “ Eleven or twelve thousand dollars, I should say."
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Actually going to confide in me, or ask my advice about anything? ” he exclaimed with exaggerated sar- casm.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ah, yes; and how is your wife? ” “ I have n't heard this week, ” returned the “ Hor- net"with equal gravity.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ah?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ah?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ah? ” Whitefield stood a moment reflective.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ah? ” with a nod.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Am I — that?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ And she did not leave word where she was going, nor when she would be back?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ And the pearls, too?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ And they left no ad- dress? ” “ Left about everything else,"she tittered.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ And when do I meet him?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ And you will let me join you there, will you not?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Anything else?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Anything especial on for to- day? ” he inquired, when he heard her voice in response.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Are you gloating this way over a few rings and brooches? ” “ Hell! ” The “ Hornet"deeply outscorned him.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Are you one of the'Hornet's'gang? ” His heavy brows were almost drawn together.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Beauties, are n't they?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Been riding with him this morning?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But about that matter of importance I wanted to discuss with you?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But are there not some things that you have failed to take into account?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But really, ” her tone changed, as she noticed that he did not smile at her flippancy, “ has anything an- noying happened?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But the circumstances?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But then, you see, I am not natural with either you or Aunt Freda. ” She waited a moment for him to retaliate: “ Whose fault is that?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But there are surely other ways that an heiress of nineteen might gain her freedom. ” “ You mean marriage? ” she asked immediately.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But were n't you a little reckless, eh, picking out so well patronized a place as this for our meeting?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But what about me?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But what do you know about it? ” After a rnoment's silence, she said quietly: “ I saw him this morning. ”.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But what have you been doing to yourself — if it is really you? ” “ You allude to the loss of my beauty spot? ” He touched his cheek.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But what have you been doing to yourself — if it is really you? ” “ You allude to the loss of my beauty spot? ” He touched his cheek.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But why did n't you mention such a loss to me be- fore? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ But,"testily, “ what did he look like, man?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Can a man ever really come back? ” he asked moodily, his eyes on the table, his cheek on his hand."
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Can they do a job like that?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Colvin?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Could n't you get one of the other servants to run your errands? ” he grumbled.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Delightful arrangement, do n't you think?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Did I suggest the rather difficult position you would find yourself in, if you resorted to extreme measures?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Did Vernon send you after me?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Distrustful still? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Do n't believe it, eh? ”.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Do you happen to know anything of Ashe Colvin's whereabouts?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Do you know the only kind of a man I will ever marry? ” Her voice now was like bubbling honey, her emerald eyes sparkled with fire and laughter.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Do you know, Muriel, I'm just begin- ning to realize that you are grown up?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Do you mean it?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Do you mean that it is painted on?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ever have that much in your hands before? ”"No,"she admitted.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ever hear of Cousin Samuel Cruger?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Fifteen thousand dollars?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Fletcher Hempstead? ” He studied him, squinting his eyes, and pursing his lips.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ For me? ” she whispered.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ For me? ” “ For you,"he replied; “ on one condition.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Foreign, eh? ” Whitefield gave this phase of the matter momentary but interested consideration.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Got me, how?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Has Freda one? ” “ Of course; but — ” She hesitated; then her face brightened.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Have a cup of tea with us? ” Muriel asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Have any bother in handling them? ”"No.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Have you got that all straight in your head?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Him? ” Again her laughter pealed.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How can I? ” Ashe asked dully.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How did you get that dreadful scar? ” His heart smote him to deceive her.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How did you happen to take up this particular expression of art, Wimms? ” he mumbled through closed lips.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How do you keep up that innocent, kid look, though?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How is that, sir?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How many carats?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How often are you going to dance with me? ” he asked, lowering his voice.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ How the dickens did you get to talk- ing with her? ” “ Just a word, sir; just a word.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ I caine quite on my own. ” “ You did, eh?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ I do n't see why you are so vicious to me, Ev- erett? ” Was that small, plaintive, almost tearful voice Muriel's?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ I do n't see why you are so vicious to me, Ev- erett? ” Was that small, plaintive, almost tearful voice Muriel's?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ I had a sort of a bet with myself that you would n't come, that you might think me crazy; almost any one would, would n't he?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ I wonder if it was not you and Darn- ton who planned this robbery together?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ If I promise to tell you at some future day, wo n't that do?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Important?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is Miss Fletcher in? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is Mr. — er — Vernon a New Yorker?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is it yours, sir?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is n't that what Dr. Watson always said to Sherlock Holmes? ” “ Quite so.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is n't there any way I can meet you, and have a real talk? ” “ This way, and that's all. ” The “ Hornet's ” tones were sharply decisive.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is n't there some other way, so that she need not be involved?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Is — is that absolutely necessary? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ It's perfectly true. ”"And the meaning of it? ” he drew in his breath ominously.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Look here, Freda; was n't Ashe Colvin some rela- tion of the Gansevoorts? ”.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Matter of importance, eh?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ May I venture to remark that you are looking very beautiful to- night?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Me? ” she cried, glancing up at him in surprise.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Money would have to slip mighty fast to get through your fingers, ” his lip twisted;"but just what ready money are you talking about, may I ask?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Mr.-?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Muriel, ” he said abruptly, “ will you marry me?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ My dear young woman, ” he said, “ have you just escaped from a'lunatic asylum?"

hvd.hnqmg9	“ Ninety days? ” suggested the “ Hornet. ” “ That's long enough, is n't it, Uncle William? ” “ Possibly.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Not dancing, Mr. Vernon? ” It was the voice of Freda.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Not ready for dinner?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Now what does this mean? ” he turned threat- eningly to Hazel Phillips as the door closed behind them.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Oh, 142 THE HORNET'S NEST why will you insist upon this game of cross- purposes? ” She pressed her arms down hard upon the sides of her chair.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Oh, if you'll only accept me as I am for a short while, ” he pleaded, “ and try to believe that I'm doing my best?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Oh, is n't there any forgiveness for me,"she cried; “ anywhere?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Oh, what on earth's the use of your taking it like that?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Oh, ” she showed the edge of her teeth in a flash- ing smile, “ you did have the nerve to follow it up?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Scandal soon dies, and South Amer- ica is a long way off? ” There was a brief silence.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Settling all your debts, Uncle?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ She knows, then?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ So likely that the police and everybody concerned would ignore a loss like that? ” The “ Hornet ” thrust his face close to Colvin's.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ So long?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ So your new acquaintance was interesting?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ So? ” he laughed; then matching her frankness of speech with his own:“What sort of a crook are you?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ So? ” he laughed; then matching her frankness of speech with his own:“What sort of a crook are you?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Sounds simple, does n't it?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Suppose, ” he questioned her, “ I should accept this proposal of yours, and agree to give you my advice and direction, what is your idea?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Sure you're well? ” Cruger's attention immediately reverted to himself.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Surely, you're not seri- ously proposing the surrender of those sapphires — worth a king's ransom,- for a mere fifteen thousand dollars?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Thank them,"he said briefly; and after a pause: “ Why not?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ That Johnson's flat? ” he asked, pointing to the door before which Colvin stood.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ That door yonder?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ That is all, sir?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ The Far East, was it?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ The girl?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Then is n't there some way to get me out of here? ” glancing around.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ There's nothing new, is there? ” She looked from one to the other.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ There's nothing you wish to talk to me about, you say?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Think I can get him, Hornet?."
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Threatening me?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Tight net, eh?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Tubby? ” At last he was caught off guard.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Well, how's everything? ” his deep, harsh voice asked over the wire.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Well, my boy, you seem to have been cutting quite a swath lately?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Well, what of it? ” Whitefield squared about and looked at her in astonishment.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Well? ” “ I walked down to Brentano's yesterday afternoon to order some books.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What are you talking about? ” impatiently.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What did you want to see me about, Uncle William?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What do you mean by a man like me? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What do you mean by his having stayed so long? ”"Any time over fifteen minutes would be long.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What do you mean? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What do you think those idiots from Headquarters have done now?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What does it amount to?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What does she want? ” “ She did not say, sir."
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What else is there to do? ” cried Colvin hotly.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What is the use of going into all sorts of futile explanations?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What kind of a fel- low was he?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What shall I do? ” she gasped.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What time is it?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What was that? ” Whitefield asked sharply as she came back to his side.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What's the game — yours and his?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What's up now?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What's up? ” he demanded sharply.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What, for instance? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ What? ” she said.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ When the lady finds out that she has n't got her jewels, nor her money either, what can she do about it?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Where did you leave him? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Where is Essie? ” she cried impatiently.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Where is she? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Where you been? ” The latter grumbled.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Where's my kiss? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Whip- sawed,"muttered the “ Hornet. ” But Muriel —?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Whitefield wits against Whitefield wits, with Ashe Colvin on the side, eh? ” He gave his malevolent, one- sided grin.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Who is the winter gardener; you, or Mr. Johnson? ” “ Oh, me."
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Who said anything about arresting him? ” 118 THE HORNET'S NEST Whitefield gave an impatient movement.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Who told you to go prospecting off on any such lay- out?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why did n't the detective I told you to hire report it then? ” he growled.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why did n't you speak of it at the time?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why did n't you speak of the loss of your purse when you came home? ” He pounded this question at her.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why do n't the police round up that damned cracks- man, ” he grumbled,"this ‘ Hornet'they talk so much about?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why do you hold your hand to your cheek?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why does an assumed name strike you as a part of living? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why expose your ignorance of technique, Uncle William?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why not use the one you had following me? ” Muriel replied imperturbably; and then with open in- solence.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why this outpost service? ” he laughed.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why, by simply marrying the girl,"returned the “ Hornet. ” “ Would n't that accomplish all I say?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Why?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Will Mrs. Whitefield be well enough to appear at 108 THE HORNET'S NEST the coming- out dance for that pretty Muriel Fletcher?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Will you give me ten minutes of your time within the next hour? ” he asked, throwing caution to the winds.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Will you smoke? ” she asked, and then took one herself.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ With the servants all about?
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Wo n't you sit here, Mrs. Whitefield? ” Mentally, he was both applauding and envying her woman's cleverness.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Wo n't you, ca n't you love me enough to marry me now? ” “ But it was only last night — ” “ Do n't, ” he repeated.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ Yes? ” Extreme formality shaded the politeness of his bow.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You are Mr. Vernon's man, are you not? ” she asked in an undertone.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You ca n't be absolutely in the dark? ” She passed her hand wearily over her hair.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You do not suppose I'm sitting idly by, waiting for them to finish me, do you? ” He gave a short laugh.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You got? ” Ashe looked at him speechlessly, and then faintly raised his brows.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You have been in town since the Whitefield robbery, have n't you, Mr. Ver- non?"
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You have? ” excitedly.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You mean my police record? ” He glanced up from the neat squares and triangles he was drawing on the table cover.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You — what? ” he was immediately alert.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You — you mean? ” he stammered.
hvd.hnqmg9	“ You've met her? ” she asked quickly, her eyes again alert and speculative.
hvd.hnqmg9	”"Ashe Colvin? ” Her hand fluttered to her breast; her pallor deepened perceptibly.
hvd.hnqmg9	• “ But, my dear fellow,"he argued, “ are n't you rather overestimating the complication?

hvd.hxdlbh	A girl — ” said I, “ what did she know?

hvd.hxdlbh	But if I find the formula. ” “ Well? ” said Uncle Adrian.
hvd.hxdlbh	But must you leave us? ” Marguerite arose, swiftly and silently, and bade us good- night.
hvd.hxdlbh	But why are you both so interested — what ’s the mystery? ” My uncle fairly snarled.
hvd.hxdlbh	But you, did you drive far? ” “ A long way on the Lorette road.
hvd.hxdlbh	Can you suggest anything? ” 100 CHAP.
hvd.hxdlbh	Can you swim? ” 232 THE QUINCUNX CASE CHAP.
hvd.hxdlbh	Cecil, do you know that you are keeping me waiting for dinner? ” Cecil apologized and fled.
hvd.hxdlbh	Did you notice any- thing wild in her talk?
hvd.hxdlbh	Did you see her go this morning, yourself? ” I asked, as I was about to move off.
hvd.hxdlbh	Do n't I always? ” “ No, not always ”, I replied a little sadly, and there was a pause.
hvd.hxdlbh	Do n’t be silly, Ce- cill What do you know about it?
hvd.hxdlbh	Do you hear, Cecil?
hvd.hxdlbh	Do you suppose he has asked me here except as a poor relation,-one who is not to presume on the invitation?
hvd.hxdlbh	Do you think it true? ” 124 CHAP.
hvd.hxdlbh	For which way should I go?
hvd.hxdlbh	Girls take these things so seriously; indeed, what wonder they do?
hvd.hxdlbh	Has he no reserves? ” “ I have often wondered, ” said she, “ but there was Balsamo, he was n’t shot. ” 300 THE QUINCUNX CASE CHAP.
hvd.hxdlbh	He is capable of anything to- day; and what good will it do you to get a bullet in your brain under her window?
hvd.hxdlbh	He talked with her, did he not — to get her to give up to him a paper like this? ” Pasqualino turned his surprised face toward Ine.
hvd.hxdlbh	He was thirty- five or forty. ” “ Unmarried? ” “ Yes. ” 48 CHAP.
hvd.hxdlbh	How could one man watch on all sides and take note of every door —?
hvd.hxdlbh	How far did you go? ” “ Only to Quebec, ” I said, “ I thought there might be some letters for me at the General Post- office.
hvd.hxdlbh	How much personal risk did I run, if the smuggling hypothesis were true?
hvd.hxdlbh	How old was he? ” “ We met in New York.
hvd.hxdlbh	I have cried myself blind these nights, and tortured myself — Are you mad, or wholly reckless that you stay here?
hvd.hxdlbh	I hope you left my friends Well? ” “ Very well, thank you.
hvd.hxdlbh	I must act, and act quickly, yet how?
hvd.hxdlbh	I myself wondered a little; why did this girl wish me not to stay?
hvd.hxdlbh	I pray you, dear Mr. Adrian, in the name of hospitality, if not of some tenderer emotion,( for we were very close in those days, were we not?)
hvd.hxdlbh	I see you sketch. ”( how did he see that?)
hvd.hxdlbh	I suppose you refer to my relatives? ” M. le Colonel ’s smile was open and charming.
hvd.hxdlbh	I want nothing save to be taken to Colonel Pétry — for it is he, is n’t it?
hvd.hxdlbh	II “ Graver pedagogue, with eye- glasses and a dictionary?
hvd.hxdlbh	II “ Is this my cousin Philip? ” she said.
hvd.hxdlbh	III “ Do you think there are any others? ” Cecil asked me.
hvd.hxdlbh	IV She looked puzzled an instant, then said slow- ly, “ He may have been mistaken — or, could the dying man have staggered there? ” “ Hardly.
hvd.hxdlbh	IV THE QUINCUNX CASE “ And you liked him? ” “ Immensely. ” “ Then why did you refuse him? ” She turned her flashing eyes on me.

hvd.hxdlbh	IX THE QUINCUNX CASE “ I rather think so, Mademoiselle. ” “ It is hard to test, is it not? ” she went on more rapidly.
hvd.hxdlbh	If you refuse to aid me the harm will come to her. ” “ I will help all I can — but if he should know? ” “ He must not know, that is all.
hvd.hxdlbh	Is it pos- sible you knew my lamented brother? ” “ The proper name of Mr. Joseph Balsamo, then, was Pétry? ” I asked.

hvd.hxdlbh	Let us look down the road the way the wind was blowing. ” “ You say there were two people? ” she con- tinued, as we walked.
hvd.hxdlbh	M'sieu sees I have kept it safely? ” We had drawn close together.
hvd.hxdlbh	Marguerite did not appear, and I began to wonder if she were being purposely removed, so to speak, from contact with myself?
hvd.hxdlbh	Moreover, how could I be sure I had not dreamed?
hvd.hxdlbh	Now shall I tell you the truth, Pasqualino?
hvd.hxdlbh	Now that I was likely to meet this man, both our masks laid aside, what was to be my course?
hvd.hxdlbh	Or is his de Pétry? ” “ Mon Dieu, I do not understand! ” “ You need not try.
hvd.hxdlbh	Shall I get Monsieur his umbrella? ” he offered.
hvd.hxdlbh	Shall I ring for the cab? ” I glared at her, but I knew her to be incorri- gible, young as she was.
hvd.hxdlbh	Shall we call it off till We are out of this? ” “ What were you doing with Colonel ’s pa- pers? ” he demanded a trifle less gruff.
hvd.hxdlbh	Shall we call it off till We are out of this? ” “ What were you doing with Colonel ’s pa- pers? ” he demanded a trifle less gruff.
hvd.hxdlbh	So that was their idea, was it?
hvd.hxdlbh	Suppose I am too friendly to oppose you, Antonio, what excuse can I give for coming empty- handed? ” “ It is the easiest thing in the world.
hvd.hxdlbh	Thank you and au revoir l ’ ’ “ Wo n't you come in at least and say good- bye to Claire? ” said he.
hvd.hxdlbh	The road ran in a cleft between two middling- sized hills, and at our right side down the ravine 24?
hvd.hxdlbh	There is an auberge, Picot's, about half- a- mile away; what do you say to trying for it?
hvd.hxdlbh	These my daughter vehemently asserted all through, and she was right, yet did not everything point to the contrary?
hvd.hxdlbh	VI THE QUINCUNX CASE chance that might disturb the present, or make a change in the direction of that current which swept me so powerfully along?
hvd.hxdlbh	VI THE QUINCUNX CASE •:""which suggested almost an abstraction?
hvd.hxdlbh	We had little economies, we had enterprise, and one fine March day( will it be believed?)
hvd.hxdlbh	What are we stopping for? ” I called a little angrily, for my watch said seven o’clock.
hvd.hxdlbh	When did you get yours? ” “ Oh, I ’ve a vivid imagination ”, I went on giddily, “ and the newspapers.
hvd.hxdlbh	Where are you? ” Just then my hands touched heavy folds of stuff, and then encountered wooden beads to which a cross with metal on it was attached.
hvd.hxdlbh	Where could I put my hand on anything out of the way in his behavior?
hvd.hxdlbh	Where is M. de Pétry? ” “ They are all at breakfast waiting for Monsieur. ” His hurry, his amazement had left him.
hvd.hxdlbh	Will it not be a good chance? ” “ Just as you like Phil, ” she answered, with a look of combined relief and alarm.
hvd.hxdlbh	Will you wish me good luck?
hvd.hxdlbh	X THE QUINCUNX CASE telling my errand, and so probably, losing for- ever the last chance of fathoming the mystery of this household?
hvd.hxdlbh	X “ Who could have? ” said the uncle pityingly.
hvd.hxdlbh	XI THE QUINCUNX CASE and if so, why seek me out, take me into the house, and proceed on their nefarious opera- tions under my very nose?
hvd.hxdlbh	XIV “ M'sieu means no harm to Mademoiselle? ” he asked doubtfully.
hvd.hxdlbh	XVII THE QUINCUNX CASE “ But those papers of the Colonel ’s?''
hvd.hxdlbh	XVII say to him?
hvd.hxdlbh	XVII with the old man, and last names do not count in the mountains. ” “ Is yours Wettori by any chance? ” I asked, at random.
hvd.hxdlbh	You are perfectly sure? ” Wondering more and more, I replied that I was.
hvd.hxdlbh	You did not see the body, I suppose? ” She shuddered.
hvd.hxdlbh	You have no objection to my telling Philip? ” Evidently she took his silence for consent, for she led the way swiftly out on the veranda.
hvd.hxdlbh	You once lived in the States, I think? ” “ Yes, M'sieu, ” he answered promptly.
hvd.hxdlbh	You speak very easily of the Chief — but have you ever seen him angry?
hvd.hxdlbh	You want to go to him at once? ” I saw something more of his face than I had done yet for the morning light fell clear on it.
hvd.hxdlbh	and I ‘ reverence the dreams of my youth. ” By- the- way that sentiment, do you know it?
hvd.hxdlbh	but I suppose you are a heretic? ” “ I suppose I am.
hvd.hxdlbh	in Balsamo's cottage, this morning?
hvd.hxdlbh	who sent you back for those papers?
hvd.hxdlbh	why, what is the matter, Mr. Gellatly? ” “ I fear I have torn a page, ” said I striving to hide my excitement.
hvd.hxdlbh	» 2 “ Ah, ” I cried, “ her wicked mother? ” “ Her wicked mother — ” the nun repeated solemnly, “ came and took her away.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ And if you do n’t find it? ” she said.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ And this Balsamo died, ” I went on slowly, “ under peculiar circumstances? ” This time he did not look at me.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ And you must really go? ” said Colonel de Pétry, “ Let me see if your man has come. ” He rang, the butler appeared and received the order.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ And you only want to be taken to the Colonel? ” “ That ’s all, ” said I, and ducked to avoid another wetting.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ And your father gave up all search of any formula which Balsamo may have left? ” “ He tried at first, but got no trace.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Any objections? ” he demanded truculently.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Are you the son of Mr. John Gellatly? ” asked my visitor abruptly.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ At that time you had a friend, a chemist — named Joseph Balsamo? ” He nodded assent.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ But I liked him too, and I knew he feared those closer than I, you understand?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ But look! ” I cried in dismay, “ could she have changed her mind and turned back?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ But really, we shall be delighted to have you stay, shall we not, Claire? ” “ Delighted! ” repeated his daughter.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Can I get your mail for you? ” said he.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Can she do it? ” I enquired.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Did you notice that? ” she said with a touch 140 CHAP.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Do n’t you think I deserve a reward now? ” I begged her.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Do you believe in it, too? ” I asked her.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Do you stay long in Quebec? ” was his next remark.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Dufour, what do you mean?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Have we other ties beside the Gellatly ’s of Boston?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Have you a good story up your sleeve, sir?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Have you said every- thing? ” “ You will take my message then? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Have you said every- thing? ” “ You will take my message then? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Have your wide experiences included them also? ” I asked gaily.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ He was a friend of mine,—is any- thing more necessary? ” “ Yes, ” I persisted, “ when did you meet?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ He was a friend of mine,—is any- thing more necessary? ” “ Yes, ” I persisted, “ when did you meet?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ How did you come to find these papers? ” he asked presently.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I Will take it. ” “ You will ask her to communicate with me, if she can? ” “ If she can. ” Was there a faint irony here?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I Will take it. ” “ You will ask her to communicate with me, if she can? ” “ If she can. ” Was there a faint irony here?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I hope it was n’t because you slept badly? ” “ You say that to a man just come from a hall bed- room of a Harlem boarding- house!
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I hope, ma soeur, ” I began awkwardly, “ Mademoiselle was not vexed at my request? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I suppose you think highly of all that? ” he asked, pulling at his cigar.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I think that is what you wanted, Mr. Adrian? ” said he.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ I ’m to go into the works as a clerk, if I fail, and why should I pretend to you, that I like that?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Is it a family place? ” “ Oh no, ” replied M. de Pétry filling my glass.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Is it you, Mr. Adrian? ” said Marguerite ’s voice.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Is there such a dreadful difference ” she asked, “ between what we ’ve spent here and that? ” She indicated our personalty with a gesture.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Is this your first visit to Quebec, Mr. Gellat- ly? ” she pursued again turning to her work.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Is your name Dufour, my friend?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ It was you, all the time? ” “ It was I, and you will not blame me when you understand, M'sieu Gellatly!
hvd.hxdlbh	“ May I question you a little on one or two points? ” I asked her.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Monsieur dropped this? ” he asked, hurry- ing up.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Monsieur has come back? ” he gasped out, and stared at me.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ My namesake? ” I enquired.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Not so loud M'sieu! ” he cried, “ not so loud! ” “ How dare you trick me? ” I repeated, for I was furious.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Now the papers that Balsamo left, ” I con- tinued, again facing Chavaignac, “ were in your charge? ” — I did not go on.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Of course, my uncle searched the cottage afterward? ” I asked Cecil.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Oh, but one does not like to think it is that. ” “ But what else could it be? ” I conjectured.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Oh, do they? ” I asked him, interested.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ She has left the Maison de l'Orme? ” I asked, “ and where has she gone? ” “ Yes, she left us early to- day.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ She has left the Maison de l'Orme? ” I asked, “ and where has she gone? ” “ Yes, she left us early to- day.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ The foiled detec- tive, the complete reasoner in one volume utterly refuted! ” “ Was I so pedantic as that? ” I asked, be- tween my teeth.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ The old man did n’t want to let you go, now, did he? ” “ Merely his hospitality, ” said I.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Then you are connected?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Then you know where to find him? ” “ Not quite, but I have hopes.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Tête- à- tête in the moonlight, eh, my dear child? ” he called playfully to the girl.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ We are going to some mountain village? ” I asked presently.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Well? ” said I.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ What do you think? ” I asked Cecil, as we turned the last page of Marianna's story.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ What is the matter? ” she called gaily, as I came up.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ What is worth trying? ” he interrupted.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ What ’s the matter?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ What ’s the matter? ” said he.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Which room did Balsamo die in? ” “ The one you have, ” was her prompt reply.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Why man! ” I said still laughing into his horrified face, “ how old do you take me for?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Why then, did M. du Caylus claim he shot Balsamo at the dressing- table, and yet he was found dead near the window?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Wo n't you come, Marguerite? ” she asked the other tepidly.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ Wo n’t they hurt you? ” She gave a shrug and a gesture.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ You got your information then? ” “ All I required, in full.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ You know the old man, do n’t you? ” said he.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ You mean it ’s the difference between three and six? ” “ More like three and twelve. ” I said gloom- ily.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ You say the pieces of paper this girl had were thrown away, then and there?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ You want to go?
hvd.hxdlbh	“ You will start to- morrow? ” he got out at last.
hvd.hxdlbh	“ ‘ Have n’t I made it clear? ” I could only nod.
hvd.hwptej	* “ You sent for me? ” he queried of Miss Cornelia sub- missively, ignoring the glowering Beresford.
hvd.hwptej	- But Miss Cornelia's face was still thoughtful, and he went on:- “ Is n't it clear, Miss Van Gorder? ” he queried, with a smile.
hvd.hwptej	- THE BAT 137 “ With searchlight? ” barked Anderson.
hvd.hwptej	- Would n't You Like fo Know. — • What happens when the indomitable Miss Van Gorder refuses to be frightened from the house of murder?
hvd.hwptej	- “ And you came here to telephone about your car?"
hvd.hwptej	- “ Because of that letter?
hvd.hwptej	- “ Beresford, will you go with this Jap to the kitchen? ” as Billy, grimly clutching his butcher knife, retraced his steps toward the hall.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Books? ” said Miss Cornelia dubiously.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Call you a spirited old lady, do they?
hvd.hwptej	- “ Dale, dear, did you know this young Bailey? ” she asked point- blank.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Dale, you said you saw a white light shining down from above? ” “ Yes, ” said Dale in a minor voice.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Doctor, have you a revolver? ” Anderson seemed to be going over the possible means of defense against this new peril.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Does n't remember anything, eh? ” he said dryly.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Has the new gardener come yet? ” “ He here, ” said Billy stolidly.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Hello — is that Mr. Johnson's residence?
hvd.hwptej	- “ Is this all right? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Now what do you mean — if that were all of it, Liz- zie? ” queried Miss Cornelia sharply as she took her THE BAT 23 letters from the tray.
hvd.hwptej	- “ That's the theory you gave headquarters, is n't it? ” said Anderson.
hvd.hwptej	- “ The outside? ” Instantly the detective had pulled aside a blind and was staring out into the darkness.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Then you know why I'm here? ” he stammered.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Well, Doctor? ” he grunted.
hvd.hwptej	- “ What's that? ” he said tensely.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Where were you when you saw the lights? ” º Unknown wet his lips with his tongue, pain- lly.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Why does n't somebody ask his name? ” queried"Pale, and, “ Where the devil is that detective? ” mut.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Why does n't somebody ask his name? ” queried"Pale, and, “ Where the devil is that detective? ” mut.
hvd.hwptej	- “ Would you mind putting that away? ” he said suavely.
hvd.hwptej	- “ You do n't remember how you were hurt? ” she asked gently.
hvd.hwptej	- “ You — you do n't really feel very well, do you, Dale? ” “ Oh — it's nothing.
hvd.hwptej	-- p “ Now, what was Fleming doing here? ” he asked Dale in a gentler voice.
hvd.hwptej	-- “ And when is the Universe's Finest Newspaper go- ing to burst forth with Bat Captured by BLADE Report- er? ” he queried sardonically.
hvd.hwptej	-- “ Get him?
hvd.hwptej	-- “ What do you mean by saying that paper is n't where you put it? ” he demanded in tones of extreme severity.
hvd.hwptej	148 THE BAT- “ You did n't hear any evidence of a struggle, did you? ” went on Beresford.
hvd.hwptej	All ready? ” Two silent nods gave assent.
hvd.hwptej	Am I ready, Lizzie? ”- “ You look like an angel, ma'am, ” said Lizzie, clasp- ing her hands.
hvd.hwptej	And then bring up some wine. ” “ Down there, where the Bat is? ” Lizzie demanded.
hvd.hwptej	And why everyone gasps at his identity?
hvd.hwptej	And yet — “ But what enemies can Aunt Cornelia have? ” she asked helplessly.
hvd.hwptej	Anderson? ” Dale shook her head.
hvd.hwptej	Anybody here recognize it? ” The detective silently held up the watch so that all present could examine it.
hvd.hwptej	As long as Jack was cleared — what matter what happened to herself?

hvd.hwptej	Bedst?
hvd.hwptej	By the way, did you bolt that door again? ” She moved toward the alcove.
hvd.hwptej	Curi- ous, is n't it? ” The detective still seemed puzzled.
hvd.hwptej	Dale saw his sharp glance travel over to 124 THE BAT story could she tell that would not bring ruin on Jack?
hvd.hwptej	Deacon Brodie — ever hear of him — the Scotch deacon that burgled his par- ishioners'houses on the quiet?
hvd.hwptej	Did you see that, Dale? ” The shoulders of the girl on the staircase straight- ened suddenly.
hvd.hwptej	Did you tap the wires to head- quarters? ” The Bat allowed himself a little sardonic smile.
hvd.hwptej	Do you suppose you would scream? ”- Dale's hands dropped, powerless, at her sides.
hvd.hwptej	Do you? ” Billy still shook his head.
hvd.hwptej	Does that mean anything to you? ” His eyes bored into the doctor, the eyes of a poker player bluffing on a hidden card.
hvd.hwptej	Failure of Union Bank — was n't that the bank of which Courtleigh Fleming had been president?
hvd.hwptej	Had something moved in that corner of blackness where her candle did not pierce?
hvd.hwptej	Had the money been taken out of the house or had it not?
hvd.hwptej	Have you any enemies? ” “ Do n’t insult me!
hvd.hwptej	He turned to 228 THE BAT here not long ago? ” He spoke without bitterness.
hvd.hwptej	He was all black where his face ought to be. ” “ Do you mean he wore a mask? ” “ Maybe.
hvd.hwptej	Hello — is that the country club?
hvd.hwptej	How do you know he is n't the Bat? ” could draw a reply from her.
hvd.hwptej	How on earth did he get out on the roof? ” Bailey glanced out the window.
hvd.hwptej	I ’ll stay right here in the dark and watch. ” “ Would you like some coffee to keep you awake? ” Anderson nodded.
hvd.hwptej	I've been going around the last month, looking at everybody I knew and thinking — are you the- THE BAT 11 Bat?
hvd.hwptej	In that mad rush for escape had the man hidden with Dale in the recess back of the mantel carried his booty with him, or left it behind?
hvd.hwptej	In what room? ” “ I wo n't tell you! ” The doctor's voice was sullen.
hvd.hwptej	Is Billy leaving too? ”.
hvd.hwptej	Is Dr. Wells there?
hvd.hwptej	Is Mr. Richard Fleming there?
hvd.hwptej	It'll be Sherlock Holmes from the spirit world! ” “ Well, ca n't you dig up a Sherlock? ” The editor spread out his hands.
hvd.hwptej	Look around the University Club — that white- haired man over there — dignified — respectable — is he the Bat?
hvd.hwptej	Mostly not expected. ” “ Do you think there was any other reason for her leaving? ”$ 4 THE BAT “ Maybe, ” said Billy blandly.
hvd.hwptej	No? ” Her expression was puzzled.
hvd.hwptej	Now what was the next step detectives always took?
hvd.hwptej	Now, “ Where's Anderson?
hvd.hwptej	Oh, Doctor! ” “ Yes? ” answered the doctor's voice from the main staircase.
hvd.hwptej	Oh, he's in a class by himself — and I very much doubt if he was a crook at all for most of his life. ” “ You mean? ”- “ I mean this.
hvd.hwptej	Only if they have, would you ask Lizzie to bring me one when she brings up the lemonade?
hvd.hwptej	Or devil? — spreading terror throughout a nation, flouting law and law- less alike.
hvd.hwptej	Or what you call the imagination? ” In spite of himself Anderson seemed to be impressed.
hvd.hwptej	She could not call the detective without ruining Jack — and yet, if Fleming escaped with the money — how could Jack ever prove his innocence?
hvd.hwptej	She had not re- membered the cap — why had n't she burned it, con- cealed it — as she had concealed the blueprint?
hvd.hwptej	She heard him at the door, then a murmur of voices — Dale's voice and another's—“Won't you come in for a few minutes?
hvd.hwptej	Should she tell him the truth?
hvd.hwptej	THE BAT 215 “ Did you know that room was there? ” he questioned, his doubts still unquieted.
hvd.hwptej	That's too 110 THE BAT- “ Do you know anything about a Hidden Room in this house? ” she asked.
hvd.hwptej	The doctor nodded, “ Yes. ” THE BAT 151 “ Have you a pocket- flash, Doctor? ” she asked him suddenly.
hvd.hwptej	The doctor was kind and thoughtful — more than that, he was an ex- perienced man of the world — if he could not advise her, who could?
hvd.hwptej	The gardener? ” THE BAT 107 of down by the drive.

hvd.hwptej	Vacant?
hvd.hwptej	Was a listener crouched behind those doors — or was it only a trick of carpentry — a gesture of chance?
hvd.hwptej	Well, many people at the country club? ” “ Not very many, ” he said, with a shake of his head.
hvd.hwptej	Were old wives'tales and witches'fables- THE BAT 127 true after all?
hvd.hwptej	What case do you want to be assigned to? ” The muscles of Anderson's left hand tensed on the arm of his chair.
hvd.hwptej	What deduction would he draw if he had heard?
hvd.hwptej	What have you been doing all day, darling? ”.
hvd.hwptej	What use of denial when every tiny circumstance was so leagued against her?
hvd.hwptej	Where is Miss Van Gorder — taking a nap? ” “ No, ” said Billy succinctly.
hvd.hwptej	Where's your revolver, Beresford? ” “ I dropped it in the alcove when I caught that man,"called Beresford, cursing himself for his carelessness.
hvd.hwptej	Who else would have the bravado to do that?
hvd.hwptej	Why did n't he get the money, if it was here, and get away? ” “ He may have had trouble with the combination. ” “ Perhaps.
hvd.hwptej	Why did they leave? ” “ Why do servants ever leave a good place? ” asked Miss Cornelia grimly.
hvd.hwptej	Why did they leave? ” “ Why do servants ever leave a good place? ” asked Miss Cornelia grimly.
hvd.hwptej	Why had Beresford's manner changed so, and what was he saying to Billy now?
hvd.hwptej	Why had n't she thought of such an explanation before?
hvd.hwptej	Will you come here, please? ” She started for the alcove.
hvd.hwptej	Wo n't you come with me, Aunt Cornelia? ”- “ Depends on your escort, ” said Miss Cornelia tartly.
hvd.hwptej	You did n't listen? ” “ Of course not, Miss Neily. ” Lizzie's face was a study in injured virtue.

hvd.hwptej	w “ Blueprints? ” He seemed to think it over.
hvd.hwptej	º “ Anderson?
hvd.hwptej	º “ What's your name? ” he asked, turning to her.
hvd.hwptej	‘ Leaving, are you? ” says I.
hvd.hwptej	‘ Money, money — who's got the money? ’ You know! ” For the dozenth time he stared at the unre- vealing walls of the room.
hvd.hwptej	‘ My sister has twins, ’ says she, ‘ I just got word, I must go to her right away. ’ ‘ What?'
hvd.hwptej	‘ You ’re a clever woman, are n't you? ” says she — the impudence!
hvd.hwptej	“ A cook — and a housemaid?
hvd.hwptej	“ A detective? ” said Fleming startled.
hvd.hwptej	“ Am I? ” The editor laughed grimly.
hvd.hwptej	“ And why did the lights go out — tell me that, Miss Neily?
hvd.hwptej	“ And yet he'd be better riddance than cook or housemaid. ” “ Now, Lizzie, how many times have I told you that you must conquer your prejudices?
hvd.hwptej	“ And you knew the money was in the room? ” “ Well, I was wrong, was n't I? ” parried the doctor.
hvd.hwptej	“ And you knew the money was in the room? ” “ Well, I was wrong, was n't I? ” parried the doctor.
hvd.hwptej	“ Anything else and I'll — but what's the use?
hvd.hwptej	“ Are all these questions necessary? ” she queried sharply.
hvd.hwptej	“ Because you happened to be in the room when a crime was committed? ”- “ But he has a perfect case against me, ” sighed Dale.
hvd.hwptej	“ Before Courtleigh Fleming died — did he tell you anything about a Hidden Room in this house? ” he queried cannily.
hvd.hwptej	“ Behind a fireplace, eh? ” he muttered.
hvd.hwptej	“ Beresford, did Fleming tell you why he came here tonight? ”- Beresford considered the question.
hvd.hwptej	“ Billy! ” “ Billy, what is it? ” The diminutive butler made a pitiful attempt at his usual grin.
hvd.hwptej	“ Billy, what's all this about the cook's sister not hav- ing twins? ” she said in an offhand voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ But tell me, Lizzie, did Miss Dale seem — well — this morning? ”- “ That she did not, ” said Lizzie promptly.
hvd.hwptej	“ But what then? ” Miss Cornelia tried to put her case as clearly and tersely as possible.
hvd.hwptej	“ But, you know the piece of blueprint you found in his hand? ” “ Yes, ” from the doctor tensely.
hvd.hwptej	“ By the way, has Miss Van Gorder a revolver? ” he queried casually, glancing at his wrist watch.
hvd.hwptej	“ Can I — can I sit in here with you, Miss Neily, just a minute? ” Lizzie's voice was plaintive.
hvd.hwptej	“ Could n't somebody else have done it? ” she queried tensely.
hvd.hwptej	“ Could such a sum as was looted from the Union Bank be carried away in a man's pocket? ” Bailey considered the question.
hvd.hwptej	“ Courtleigh Fleming's butler, eh? ” muttered Brooks.
hvd.hwptej	“ Dale! ” he said uncomprehendingly, “ do n’t you see where this places you?
hvd.hwptej	“ Did I frighten you? ”- “ Oh, Mr. Fleming — yes! ” Dale laid her aunt's re- volver down on the table.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did I understand you to say that you were not ac- quainted with the cashier of the Union Bank? ” he said to her with a new note in his voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did n't Billy tell you what I was doing?
hvd.hwptej	“ Did n't have time to say anything? ” “ Ask the young lady, ” said Anderson, with a jerk of his head.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did n't write it yourself, did you? ” he queried curtly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you ever see me before? ” demanded the latter.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you ever try a good cigar when you wanted to think? ” he queried suavely, puffing upon his own.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you go out after it? ” she persisted.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you happen to know that this inter- esting event was anticipated? ”- Billy drew in his breath with a polite hiss.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you locate that room? ” Dale hesitated.
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you, dear?
hvd.hwptej	“ Did you? ” She hesitated.
hvd.hwptej	“ Died instantly, I suppose? ” he said, looking over at the body.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do n’t you even know your name? ” queried Miss Cornelia of the Unknown.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do n’t you think I'd better stay here? ” “ Oh, yes- — ” said Dale, blinded to everything else by the rising hope in her heart.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do n’t you under- stand?
hvd.hwptej	“ Do n’t you? ” She hesitated.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do the servants know who I am? ” “ Only Lizzie, my maid. ” His eyes fixed hers.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you always carry a flashlight, Mr. Beresford? ” asked Miss Cornelia a trifle suspiciously.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you believe in circumstantial evidence? ” she asked him with seeming ingenuousness.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you believe that money is irrevocably gone? ” she asked of Anderson.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you know where there are any blueprints of the house? ” she asked at last.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you mind covering that body first? ” she asked crisply.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you mind letting me see that flashlight? ” she 138 THE BAT-* said.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you remember how you got in this house? ” The Unknown made an effort.
hvd.hwptej	“ Do you think all this — pure imagination? ” she said.
hvd.hwptej	“ Doctor, I shall ask you to stand at the foot of the small staircase, facing up. ” “ Now? ” queried the doctor with some reluctance.
hvd.hwptej	“ Does he belong to your aunt? ” “ No.
hvd.hwptej	“ Ever see this before? ” he said crisply, watching her face.
hvd.hwptej	“ Front door key, please? ” he asked urbanely.
hvd.hwptej	“ Go out in that kitchen alone? ” “ Billy's there, ” said Miss Cornelia wearily.
hvd.hwptej	“ Got it? ” “ Yes, ” gasped Bailey.
hvd.hwptej	“ Have I got to answer that? ” she wailed.
hvd.hwptej	“ Have you any matches? ”- “ Yes. ” He struck one — another — lit the candle — set it down on the table.
hvd.hwptej	“ Have you any theory about this occurrence to- night? ” She watched him eagerly as she asked the question.
hvd.hwptej	“ Have you got a gun on you? ” “ No. ” Bailey bowed his head.
hvd.hwptej	“ Have you had any experience with rubeola? ” she queried finally.
hvd.hwptej	“ Have you had anything to eat lately? ” she asked in a kindly voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ He had a key. ” “ Key to what door? ”- “ That door over there. ” Dale indicated the terrace door of the alcove.
hvd.hwptej	“ He told me he had built a hidden room in this house. ” “ Where? ” gasped Dale.
hvd.hwptej	“ Hello — is this Mr. Fleming?
hvd.hwptej	“ Hello — what's this? ” he said sharply, his eye light- ing on the broken glass below the shattered French window.
hvd.hwptej	“ How about you, Bill — are you the Bat? ” The editor smiled.
hvd.hwptej	“ How can you say such a thing? ” But Bailey pushed forward and took Lizzie by the shoulder.
hvd.hwptej	“ How did he get into the house? ” Dale brightened — no need for a lie here.
hvd.hwptej	“ How did he get into the house? ” “ He came through the terrace door some time ago, ” answered Miss Cornelia.
hvd.hwptej	“ How did you get the dope on this case?
hvd.hwptej	“ How did you happen to come to this house? ” she persisted, her voice unconsciously tuning itself to the slow, laborious speech of the Unknown.
hvd.hwptej	“ How do you know the cashier did it? ” she said in a THE BAT 67 low voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ How long have you lived in this house, Billy? ” “ Since Mr. Fleming built. ”- “ H'm. ” Miss Cornelia pondered.
hvd.hwptej	“ How old are you? ” he proceeded.
hvd.hwptej	“ How's this? ” t “ That's about right, ” said Dale uncertainly.
hvd.hwptej	“ I came to ask if I might telephone. ” “ Did it require a flashlight to find the house? ” Miss Cornelia asked suspiciously.
hvd.hwptej	“ I did not! ” “ And – you're sure you do n't walk in your sleep?"
hvd.hwptej	“ I feel a little queer. ” “ Who would n't in the dark here with that monster loose somewhere near by? ” But she stirred herself and got up.
hvd.hwptej	“ I was right about the doctor, was n't I? ” she insisted.
hvd.hwptej	“ In this house? ” repeated the doctor as if stalling for.
hvd.hwptej	“ Is n't that true? ” demanded Anderson.
hvd.hwptej	“ Is that true, Dale? ” she said sorrowfully.
hvd.hwptej	“ Is that true? ”- “ Yes, ” said Beresford.
hvd.hwptej	“ It's rather reasonable to suppose that I might want to return the funds to the Union Bank, is n't it? ” he queried in tones of heavy sarcasm.
hvd.hwptej	“ Just face — that's all. ” “ A — man's face? ” He shrugged again.
hvd.hwptej	“ Know anything about hardy perennials? ” she said in a soothing voice, while Lizzie regarded the inter- view with wondering eyes.
hvd.hwptej	“ Lizzie, did you ever take that key? ” the latter queried sternly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Lizzie, what are you looking at? ” she said with a nervous shake in her voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ Look here, ” the young man blustered, “ why are you asking me all these questions? ” He tapped his cigarette case with an irritated air.
hvd.hwptej	“ May I borrow your flashlight, Doctor?
hvd.hwptej	“ Miss Dale's gone into the city, ma'am. ”/ “ Gone into the city? ” “ Yes, ma'am.
hvd.hwptej	“ Miss Dale, for the dear love o'God, will you make her put it away? ” Dale laughed again.
hvd.hwptej	“ Miss Neily. ”- “ Yes, Lizzie? ” Miss Cornelia's voice was composed but her heart felt a throb of relief.
hvd.hwptej	“ My God, we're not going to bed, are we? ” she said, with her eyes as big as saucers.
hvd.hwptej	“ No connection with the outside, eh? ” “ No, ” said Dale absent- mindedly.
hvd.hwptej	“ No. ” “ How about you, Beresford? ” Beresford hesitated.
hvd.hwptej	“ Not feeling sick, are you? ” she asked.
hvd.hwptej	“ Not worried about anything? ” Miss Cornelia's eyes were sharp.
hvd.hwptej	“ Not — yet. ” “ Or where you came from? ” Once more the battered head made its movement of negation.
hvd.hwptej	“ Now what about this blueprint? ” he queried sharply.
hvd.hwptej	“ Now — what's your name? ” he said sternly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Now, shall I telephone for the coroner? ” persisted Miss Cornelia.
hvd.hwptej	“ Oh, are n't there any?
hvd.hwptej	“ Oh, for — lay off it, will you? ” said the city editor peevishly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Oh, ” she went on, “ by the way — have the afternoon papers come yet?
hvd.hwptej	“ Only the detective, Aunt Cornelia, Lizzie, and Billy. ”-- “ Billy's the Jap? ” “ Yes. ” Brooks paused an instant.
hvd.hwptej	“ Please, Doctor! ”- “ Oh, what are you going to do? ” said the doctor, coming out of a brown study.
hvd.hwptej	“ Poor fellow — straight through the heart. ”- “ Were there any powder marks? ” queried Miss Cornelia.
hvd.hwptej	“ See that Sunday story we had on THE BAT 9 the Bat? ” he asked.
hvd.hwptej	“ Shooting, Billy? ” “ Yes, ma'am.
hvd.hwptej	“ Sir?
hvd.hwptej	“ Spooky sort of place in the dark, is n't it? ” he said casually.
hvd.hwptej	“ Suppose I tell you that there are certain facts that you have overlooked? ” she said slowly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Sure, I sure! ” “ Where's that hysterical woman Lizzie? ” queried Anderson.
hvd.hwptej	“ That's absurd! ”- “ No. ”--- “ You do n't mean? ” said the doctor aghast.
hvd.hwptej	“ That's all, is it? ” “ That's enough when you're down and out. ” His words had an unmistakable accent of finality.
hvd.hwptej	“ That's not — Dick Fleming — is it? ” he said thickly.
hvd.hwptej	“ That's true, is it? ” “ That's true, ” said Miss Cornelia firmly.
hvd.hwptej	“ The Bat, eh? ” he muttered, then, changing his tone, “ you knew about this hidden room, Wells? ” he shot at the doctor.
hvd.hwptej	“ The Bat, eh? ” he muttered, then, changing his tone, “ you knew about this hidden room, Wells? ” he shot at the doctor.
hvd.hwptej	“ The Union Bank? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwptej	“ The but- ler has the paper now? ”- “ He does n't know he has it.
hvd.hwptej	“ Then you think the money is in this hidden room?"
hvd.hwptej	“ Then you think there is really danger? ” The doctor's eyes were grave.
hvd.hwptej	“ Then — you knew? ” she stammered.
hvd.hwptej	“ This is all you found? ” queried the detective, a curious note in his voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ This is the maid you referred to? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwptej	“ Two? ” she wailed.
hvd.hwptej	“ Was it here? ” Miss Cornelia's voice came muffledly from the head of the stairs.
hvd.hwptej	“ Was there a blueprint, and did you get it from Richard Fleming? ” It was Dale's turn now to bow her head.
hvd.hwptej	“ Well, Lizzie? ” “ Yes'm, ” said the latter, glaring at the phone.
hvd.hwptej	“ Well, why should n't I be on the terrace with a searchlight? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwptej	“ Were here? ” said Miss Cornelia in a curious voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ Were the others like this? ” he queried.
hvd.hwptej	“ What about that face Lizzie said you saw last night at the window? ” she asked in a steady voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ What are you?
hvd.hwptej	“ What did he look like? ”.
hvd.hwptej	“ What did they say to you, Lizzie — did they give any reason?'
hvd.hwptej	“ What did they yell? ” “ Just yelled a yell! ” “ Lizzie! ” º “ I heard them! ” But she had cried “ Wolf! ” too often.
hvd.hwptej	“ What did you see? ” Bailey found himself unable to answer for a mo- ment.
hvd.hwptej	“ What do you mean? ” she said fiercely.
hvd.hwptej	“ What do you think is the best treatment for urti- caria? ” she propounded with a highly professional Inanner.
hvd.hwptej	“ What does that mean? ” Dale swiftly informed him of the situation.
hvd.hwptej	“ What fire- place?
hvd.hwptej	“ What for? ”--- THE BAT 149 For once Billy's polite little grin was absent from his countenance.
hvd.hwptej	“ What has happened to you? ”- “ I ’m dazed! ” said the Unknown thickly and slowly.
hvd.hwptej	“ What is it? ” said Dale aghast.
hvd.hwptej	“ What papers did Fleming burn in that grate? ” he asked abruptly, turning back to Dale.
hvd.hwptej	“ What sort of people? ” he queried sharply.
hvd.hwptej	“ What time is it? ” Miss Cornelia glanced at the clock.
hvd.hwptej	“ What time is it? ” she asked.
hvd.hwptej	“ What were you and Richard Fleming doing with a blueprint? ” His eyes bored into Dale's.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's he looking at? ” asked Lizzie sepulchrally, pointing at the Unknown.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's his number? ”- 122 THE BAT “ He ’s not at his office; he's at the Johnsons', ” mur- mured Dale.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's in there? ”.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's my business here? ” queried the young man, obviously fencing with his interrogator.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's that? ” gasped Dale.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's the matter with you anyhow, Lizzie Allen? ” The nervousness in her own tones infected Lizzie's.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's your business? ” went on the detective.
hvd.hwptej	“ What's your name? ” Silence from the Unknown — and that blank stare of stupefaction.
hvd.hwptej	“ What? ” almost shouted Miss Cornelia.
hvd.hwptej	“ Where are the others? ” “ They're still searching the house.
hvd.hwptej	“ Where is that paper, now? ” she asked Dale sharply.
hvd.hwptej	“ Where's that ouija- board? ” she ques- tioned, rising, with determination in her eye.
hvd.hwptej	“ Where's the candle? ”- The doctor was still trying to explain his curious action of a moment before.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who are you? ”-- “ Who are you? ” said the young man with cool im- pertinence, giving him stare for stare.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who are you? ”-- “ Who are you? ” said the young man with cool im- pertinence, giving him stare for stare.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who did you see at the head of the small staircase? ” he queried imperatively.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who do you think wrote it? ” asked Dale breath- lessly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who else would have fastened a dead bat to the door down- stairs?
hvd.hwptej	“ Who screamed? ” said Dale tensely.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who's in this house besides ourselves? ” he queried.
hvd.hwptej	“ Who? ” he grunted tersely.
hvd.hwptej	“ Whose face? ” Again it was evident that Billy knew or thought he knew more than he was willing to tell.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why did n't you call for help?
hvd.hwptej	“ Why did you do such a thing? ”.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why did you tell me you were a professional gar- dener? ” she went on accusingly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why did you want blueprints? ” he thundered.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why do you want her? ” Dale blazed at him re- belliously.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why have you sent for the gardener? ” she inquired haltingly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why not accept my hospitality in the village to- night? ” he proposed reasonably.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why should that interest you? ” she parried, answer- ing his question with an icy question of her own.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why, my dear child? ” he asked lightly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Why? ” she queried mildly.
hvd.hwptej	“ Would that establish Jack Bailey's innocence? ” 146 THE BAT- The detective stared at her keenly for a moment.
hvd.hwptej	“ Yes. ” “ And — alopecia? ” pursued Miss Cornelia.
hvd.hwptej	“ You are Brooks, the new gardener? ”.
hvd.hwptej	“ You do n't know what may be inside. ” “ Mercy sakes, who wants to know? ” shivered Lizzie.
hvd.hwptej	“ You do n't suspect my household? ” she said in a low voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ You know better than that, though, do n't you? ” Billy's Oriental placidity remained unruffled.
hvd.hwptej	“ You know why I sent for Richard Fleming, do n't you? ” she said, her eyes fixed beseechingly on her lover.
hvd.hwptej	“ You said Fleming had probably been shot from above? ” she queried, thinking hard.
hvd.hwptej	“ You were using it a few minutes ago? ” She hesitated — what use to deny what she had al- ready admitted, for all practical purposes.
hvd.hwptej	“ You wo n't change your mind? ” he asked anew.
hvd.hwptej	“ You ’re not going to ask me to go out in that hall alone? ” she said in a hurt voice.
hvd.hwptej	“ You ’re sure of that, are you?
hvd.hwptej	“ You ’re sure of that, are you? ” he said roughly to Billy.

hvd.hxdmdi	Are n’t you coming along, too, to look after Aggie? ” “ Not at all, ” I observed calmly.
hvd.hxdmdi	BIT 137 people did n’t send my father those black hand let- ters he's been getting lately, I suppose? ” “ Tish! ” I called sharply.
hvd.hxdmdi	Besides, what the — what the dickens are you going to do with them?
hvd.hxdmdi	Burton, ” Tish called, “ do you mind hid- ing that tire until morning?
hvd.hxdmdi	But suppose I told her that?
hvd.hxdmdi	Can you deny that you have n't registered yet?
hvd.hxdmdi	Did Muldoon actually attack the cave?
hvd.hxdmdi	Did n't Tish have a cook once named Modestine? ” But it seemed that that was not it.
hvd.hxdmdi	Did you ever drive a car before? ” “ Not through a haystack, ” he said in a sulky voice.
hvd.hxdmdi	Did you or did you not hold up the C.& L. express car? ” We were too astounded to speak.
hvd.hxdmdi	Did you score that? ” “ How'll I score it? ” asked Hannah.
hvd.hxdmdi	Did you score that? ” “ How'll I score it? ” asked Hannah.
hvd.hxdmdi	Do you think I'd marry a girl like that? ” “ She's a nice little thing, ” I replied.
hvd.hxdmdi	Do you think for one moment that they'll expect another raid tonight? ” “ Do you think there will be one? ” I asked hopefully.
hvd.hxdmdi	Do you think for one moment that they'll expect another raid tonight? ” “ Do you think there will be one? ” I asked hopefully.
hvd.hxdmdi	Everything, that is, but my 22 “ Good name? ” Aggie suggested timidly.
hvd.hxdmdi	Great Scott, have n’t you any orders?
hvd.hxdmdi	Great heavens, do n't you see what you ’ve done?
hvd.hxdmdi	Had n't he just sent up Tish's own Italian fruit dealer for writing blackhand letters?
hvd.hxdmdi	Had she not, when she fell out of the tree, immediately left him all her prop- erty?
hvd.hxdmdi	Have n't any place else to go, you know. ” “ Are n't you putting on my nephew's socks? ” “ Extraordinary! ” he said.
hvd.hxdmdi	He persisted in making humorous sallies such as: “ Did any one remember the pepper and salt? ” and “ I hope somebody brought pickles.
hvd.hxdmdi	He says it is the most dangerous branch of the service. ” “ Oh, he does, does he? ” said the Red Cross young man.
hvd.hxdmdi	How Why, Miss Lizzie, how can he? ” “ Do n’t ask me.
hvd.hxdmdi	How can I apologize or explain?
hvd.hxdmdi	How many times, in the years of our association, has her active brain come to our rescue in trying times?
hvd.hxdmdi	How many wives? ” When of course she meant how many children.
hvd.hxdmdi	I do n't seem to be dying on my feet, do I?
hvd.hxdmdi	I do n't totter with feebleness, do I? ” “ You look as strong as a horse, ” I said some- what acidly.
hvd.hxdmdi	I do that, while you — ” “ Why do you go to St.-Nazaire? ” Tish in- quired.
hvd.hxdmdi	I — you do n't mind if I go and get a drink of water, do you?
hvd.hxdmdi	I ’d have got his coffee too, but in the fight he kicked it over. ”-- “ What fight? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	I ’ve made a lot of people happy. ” “ Why do n't you tell her you have heart dis- ease? ” Tish inquired in a gentler tone.
hvd.hxdmdi	I ’ve tried every branch and they've all turned me down, for a- for a physical infirmity. ” “ Flat feet? ” Tish asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	I'm talking about the woman at the farm. ” “ And — the one on the hill over there? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hxdmdi	If I want to take a walking tour it ’s my affair, is n't it? ” I8 MORE TISH Tish made a gesture of despair, but Aggie was determined.
hvd.hxdmdi	Ladies, I'm not going back empty- handed. ” “ Then you are in the Government service? ” Tish asked with more respect.
hvd.hxdmdi	Let me put these needles back, wo n't you?
hvd.hxdmdi	Lizzie, what is your idea of the next step? ” “ Anybody but a lunatic would know that, ” I said tartly.
hvd.hxdmdi	MR. C.: I?
hvd.hxdmdi	MR. C.: What's that got to do with it?
hvd.hxdmdi	MYRTLE( in a somewhat softened voice): Have you really suffered?
hvd.hxdmdi	Miss Lizzie, did you see his face? ” She then got up suddenly and put her arms around me.
hvd.hxdmdi	More than once, as she grew excited, I heard her say: “ Married?
hvd.hxdmdi	Myrtle came down soon after and said that Mr. Culver was bringing some water from the well, and would he be allowed to come in with it?
hvd.hxdmdi	Oh, Tish, Tish! ” “ Why would they kill her? ” I demanded.
hvd.hxdmdi	Or any permits? ” “ All that are necessary, ” Tish said, squinting into the barrel of her revolver.
hvd.hxdmdi	Or do they belong in some par- ticular place? ” “ They do, ” Aggie retorted grimly.
hvd.hxdmdi	Rachel — or was it Naomi? — mourning for her children.
hvd.hxdmdi	Some such conver- sation then ensued: TISH: Do you bring in the flag every night?
hvd.hxdmdi	THE Colon EL: I beg your pardon?
hvd.hxdmdi	The car's gone, and the house is closed. ” “ And the policeman? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	The question is, what is she up to? ” But we were unable to help him, and at last he went away.
hvd.hxdmdi	The red- bearded man, Naysmith, has sworn to get me. ” “ Get you? ” from Aggie.
hvd.hxdmdi	The time before you just missed me. ” “ Why did you stick your arm out? ” demanded Tish.
hvd.hxdmdi	They wo n't hurt women. ” “ Why do n't you shoot him? ” Aggie asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	They'll hear you. ” “ Where are you? ” “ B- b- behind the trough, ” she said, her teeth chattering.
hvd.hxdmdi	Was n't he the best sheriff the county had ever had?
hvd.hxdmdi	Was n't it Muldoon who had brought back the communion service to my church, with nothing missing and only a dent in one of the silver pitchers?
hvd.hxdmdi	We pulled off a raid last night, and he and a fellow named Sands got grabbed. ” “ Weber? ” said Mr. Burton, forgetting to whisper.
hvd.hxdmdi	Were n't the papers full of him week after week?
hvd.hxdmdi	Were you in it when he arrived?
hvd.hxdmdi	What can I say to you, who have just come through such an experience on my account?
hvd.hxdmdi	What does Hannah report? ” I am sorry to say that, fearing Tish ’s im- pulsive nature, we had felt obliged to have Han- nah watch her carefully.
hvd.hxdmdi	What for? ” “ What do you suppose I intend it for? ” I de- manded, tartly.
hvd.hxdmdi	What for? ” “ What do you suppose I intend it for? ” I de- manded, tartly.
hvd.hxdmdi	What is this white pin for? ” I believe she then pulled the pin, for I heard Mr. Burton yell, and a second later there was a loud explosion.
hvd.hxdmdi	Whatever do you mean, Miss Lizzie? ” “ I understand that Captain Weber has five.
hvd.hxdmdi	When we went back: “ Would n’t it be better to darken things up a bit? ” he suggested.
hvd.hxdmdi	Where to, oh, brave and radiant spirits? ”- “ We have n't quite decided, ” Tish said.
hvd.hxdmdi	Where's that man? ” “ Killed, probably, ” I retorted with a certain acidity.
hvd.hxdmdi	Why should he have it?
hvd.hxdmdi	Will you go on with her or start back home with me? ” But Aggie refused to do either.
hvd.hxdmdi	Would n't any one in his senses think that a young and able- bodied man could go and put his name down as being willing to serve his country?
hvd.hxdmdi	You are sure it was the colonel? ” So Tish repeated it, but when she came to the eiderdown pillow he held up his hand.
hvd.hxdmdi	You have n't heard her say anything more about aeroplanes, have you? ” “ No, ” I replied, for us both.
hvd.hxdmdi	You — you do n't mind, I suppose, if I take a moment to arrange my mind?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ A raid? ” she said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ And then I was never sure Why do you suppose he is n't fighting?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Be- cause she's trying to buy milk and eggs? ” “ B- because she knows too much, ” Aggie wailed.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Besides, what right have peo- ple over here to fuss about one bullet?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ But Tish, ” I said, in a last effort, “ do you remember when you tried to teach me to ride a bicycle?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ But how do you know I do n't love him? ” she demanded.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ But why should I bother you with my troubles? ” We were curious, of course; but it is hardly good taste to ask a man to confide his heartaches.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Ca n't you find a cave? ” asked Tish.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Did n't I tell you the minute she found she could have him she would n't want him?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Did n't you step on a nail last night? ” Well, I had, and at last we found it.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Did you expect to capture them with a walk- ing- stick? ” Tish demanded.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Did you see that? ” he said feebly.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Did you? ” said Tish.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Do I look queer or anything? ” “ Not at all, ” I replied.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Do you mean to say, Lizzie, ” she demanded, “ that you do n't recognize that advertisement? ” “ Modestine? ” I reflected.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Do you mean to say, Lizzie, ” she demanded, “ that you do n't recognize that advertisement? ” “ Modestine? ” I reflected.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Do you notice how thin he is?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ For that slacker outside? ” Suddenly Myrtle laughed.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Fright? ” “ When you shot at him. ” “ Oh, that one!
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Have n't you made a mistake? ” she inquired.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Have you ever heard of George Muldoon, generally known as Felt- hat Muldoon? ” Had we?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Have you ever heard of George Muldoon, generally known as Felt- hat Muldoon? ” Had we?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Have — or had? ” she asked in a terrible voice.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ He gave me my choice and I took an officer, with a nice upcurled mustache and 22 “ And five children? ” “ Five children?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ He gave me my choice and I took an officer, with a nice upcurled mustache and 22 “ And five children? ” “ Five children?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Hit or I4 MORE TISH miss? ” She went to the cellar wall and stood waiting, with a piece of charcoal in her hand.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ I do n’t make much, of course. ” “ But with the rewards and all that? ” asked Aggie, who'd been sitting forward with her mouth open.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ I had a cave, ” he said, “ but — ” “ But What? ”* “ Three charming women found it while I was out on the mountainside.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ I have to kiss somebody, and since he — may I kiss you? ” Well, of course I allowed her to, but I was sur- prised.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ I talked to one of the outlaws! ” “ What? ” screeched Aggie.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ I?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ If I could wash I ’d change my blouse and look like something. ” “ For whom? ” Tish demanded.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ If you see the lights of a car approaching, ” she called, “ just tell me, will you? ” However, I am happy to say that no car came near.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Is it — er — money? ” Aggie breathlessly asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Is n't keeping pigs a patriotic duty? ” Aggie demanded, glancing at me across the table.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Is she pretty? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Kiss him? ” Tish looked at him coldly.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Look here, ” he said, “ what's this about my having appendicitis? ” “ Well, you ought to know, ” I replied rather tartly.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Me, Miss Carberry?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Miss Lizzie, ” she said, “ do you think Miss Tish really enjoys sewing? ” “ Not particularly, ” I admitted.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ My wife! ”* “ You ’ve got a wife and two children, have n't you? ” He looked at us all and drew a long breath.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Now, what brings you women here? ” “ My nephew has been taken prisoner, ” Tish said coldly.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Of course, ” Tish said bitterly, “ you claim exemption. ” TISH DOES HER BIT I21 “ Me? ” he said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Or submarines? ” “ She's been taking swimming lessons again, ” I said, thoughtfully.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Rewards?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ That's it, is it? ” she asked gently.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ This is your cave? ”-- “ Not at all; it is yours.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Tish, have you an aeroplane hidden in that barn? ” “ No, ” she replied promptly.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ To trim a hat? ” “ I wo n't have a splint. ”- “ Very well, ” I retorted.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ We can talk it over later. ” “ But are you sure he sent for me? ” she de- manded, looking ready to cry again.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Well, what of it?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Well? ” I Said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Well? ” Said Tish.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Well? ” she said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Well? ” she snapped.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What about the church? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What advertisement? ” “ We know all about it, Tish, ” I said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What am I going to do if one of them comes up and makes an ass of himself? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What am I to do now? ” “ Oh! ” she said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What are you going to do with the matches? ” she demanded as he limped to the cave mouth.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What did he say? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What do you expect us to do? ” “ Call him back.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What do you mean, hang up my clothes? ” he said when we protested.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What does he know about raids?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What idiotic idea is in your head, Lizzie?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What pilgrimage? ” Tish demanded.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What sort of a raid? ” “ To capture Germans, Tish. ” “ A lot of chance he ’ll have! ” she said with a Sniff.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What time is it, Lizzie? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ What's she up to? ” He always referred to Tish as “ she, ” to Aggie and myself.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Where are you hurt, Tish? ” I asked, trembling.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Where is Aggie? ” It was then that the painful truth dawned on us.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Where is your clothing? ” he demanded, fiercely.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Which foot? ” “ Right foot.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Why not just have kept on?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Why stop at all? ” Aggie asked sarcastically.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ Would you make me more wretched than I already am?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You do n’t mean to tell me that, rain or no rain, you are going on? ” “ Certainly I am going on, ” said Tish, shutting her jaw.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You do n’t suppose I fell for all that patriotic stuff, do you? ” I could only stare at her in dumb rage.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You have a nephew, I understand, at the Front? ” Tish's face suddenly grew set and stern.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You see? ” she said.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You use vinegar, do n't you?
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You — you do n't mean Captain Weber? ” I asked after a sickening pause.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You — you have n't seen anything of the ban- dits, have you? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdmdi	“ You ’ve got to make a turn here. ” 96 MORE TISH “ How? ” I cried, frantically.
hvd.hnqlnx	A blind?
hvd.hnqlnx	A little before one o'clock, Wednesday morn- ing. ”Then did you go direct to bed?".
hvd.hnqlnx	Am I to find him by the process of elimination?
hvd.hnqlnx	And I have come tonight to confide in you..."Have you? ” dryly. hvd.hnqlnx And is the Secret Service not investigating the mat- ter?"
hvd.hnqlnx	And that is —?
hvd.hnqlnx	And what did you find?
hvd.hnqlnx	And what was Miss Grey doing in the attic at that hour of the morning?
hvd.hnqlnx	And what was Mr. Spencer doing the last time you saw him? ” asked the coroner, with quiet per- sistence. hvd.hnqlnx And where was that?"
hvd.hnqlnx	And where would you suggest that we hunt for this guilty party?
hvd.hnqlnx	And why not? ”His invention..."Spencer's laugh was not pleasant.
hvd.hnqlnx	And you think you can best accomplish that re- sult by avoiding the police?
hvd.hnqlnx	Are you dead to all sense of decency? ” she asked. hvd.hnqlnx Are you dining out tonight?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Are you ever joined while in your studio by your wife and daughter and their friends?.
hvd.hnqlnx	Are you familiar with his latest invention?.
hvd.hnqlnx	At what hour did death occur?
hvd.hnqlnx	At what hour did the members of your club de- part?
hvd.hnqlnx	Before dinner when she came to my bedroom to help me change my dress. ”Did she seem discontented with her situation?"
hvd.hnqlnx	But I did occasionally ask him to large entertainments. ”Did you see Miss Whitney before retiring on Tuesday night?"
hvd.hnqlnx	But why? ” Spencer's air castles were tumbling about his ears, but he stuck to his guns. hvd.hnqlnx Ca n't we get our wounded to the base hospital, Major? ” asked a younger officer.
hvd.hnqlnx	Can I get you a seat, sir?
hvd.hnqlnx	Can I leave you anywhere, Captain- Miller? ” she inquired frigidly. hvd.hnqlnx Can you tell us who did, Miss Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Could you tell from what floor the elevator came when you pushed your floor button? ” he asked. hvd.hnqlnx Did I?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Did Julie ever evince dislike to Mr. Spencer? ” Kathleen's hand crept to her throat and she plucked nervously at her veil. hvd.hnqlnx Did Julie, your wife's maid, ever evince undue curiosity in your work? ” Whitney wrinkled his brow in thought.
hvd.hnqlnx	Did Mr. Spencer communicate with you Tuesday by letter or tele- phone?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did she attend the meeting of your club? ”No, she is not a member."
hvd.hnqlnx	Did she ever meet Mr. Spencer away from the house? ” 189 AT THE MORGUE O'Leary. hvd.hnqlnx Did the bullet fit it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you enter Mr. Spencer's bedroom the next morning after hearing of his death?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you find anything in the room belonging to the deceased? ” 182 I SPY Valu. hvd.hnqlnx Did you go at all to Mr. Spencer's bedroom yes- terday morning after hearing of his death? ”"No."
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you receive your invitation to the Morton reception, Kathleen?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you see Julie, the French maid?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you see Kathleen?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you see either your father or your mother that night before retiring? ”No."
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you see your daughter before retiring?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you take up a special study while in Ger- many, Miss Whitney?.
hvd.hnqlnx	Do you mean- Spencer was murdered?
hvd.hnqlnx	Do you wish to see my father, Mr. Spencer?
hvd.hnqlnx	Does she?
hvd.hnqlnx	Does the kettle call the pot black? hvd.hnqlnx Fell? ” Spencer turned red, his self- esteem pricked at last.
hvd.hnqlnx	Finished your search? ” Not waiting for a reply he prepared to leave, and a covert sneer crossed his lips as he asked,Found anything criminal?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Finished your search? ” Not waiting for a reply he prepared to leave, and a covert sneer crossed his lips as he asked,Found anything criminal?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Followed me? ” prompted the latter, bending forward. hvd.hnqlnx Had it gotten about among your servants that you were working upon an important invention? ” “ It's very possible, ” Whitney conceded.
hvd.hnqlnx	Had the bed been slept in? ” “ Apparently it had, sir. hvd.hnqlnx Has either of you seen anyone enter my bed- room?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Has the size of the hand anything to do with the subject?
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you always resided in Washington?
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you been here long? ” he asked. hvd.hnqlnx Have you been to Ireland? ” The Secret Service agent smiled grimly as he took from his pocket a book of cigarette papers.
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you been working all night? ” she inquired. hvd.hnqlnx Have you discovered the drug used?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you ever seen this knife before? ” Whitney turned a shade whiter. hvd.hnqlnx Have you heard from her since her disappear- ance?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you no word for me?
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you pencil and paper? ” he asked. hvd.hnqlnx Have you seen Medusa's head? ” asked Whit- ney, tugging at her elbow.
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you seen her today?
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you seen results of the tests?
hvd.hnqlnx	Having a good time, dearie?
hvd.hnqlnx	Hein- rich,turning to the chauffeur, who stood respect- fully waiting,"did you learn the strength of the fleet?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Honest Injun, Dad? ” And her father, nodding vigorous assent, watched her go up the stairs, then with a brisk step entered the reception room. hvd.hnqlnx How am I to get in touch with the private ship- yards and munition plants? ” “ I will give you letters to residents loyal to their Fatherland.
hvd.hnqlnx	How are you going to prove it? hvd.hnqlnx How are you? ” he said, his off- hand salutation concealing much tribulation of spirit.
hvd.hnqlnx	How did Kathleen come to enter the elevator without seeing its occu- pant?
hvd.hnqlnx	How do you know it is n't completed and patent applied for? ”. hvd.hnqlnx How do you know she was not fully dressed?
hvd.hnqlnx	How is Dad?
hvd.hnqlnx	How is Kathleen? ”Sleeping, thank God! ” Mrs. Whitney lowered her voice.
hvd.hnqlnx	How is Whitney? ”. hvd.hnqlnx How large a dose was given? ” “ I do n't know, as there were no indications of it in the gastric contents."
hvd.hnqlnx	How long had Spencer been dead, Doctor, when you saw him?
hvd.hnqlnx	How was she?
hvd.hnqlnx	How, for instance?
hvd.hnqlnx	I can not answer positively, as I did not make 180 I SPYDid you search for the weapon with which Mr. Spencer's throat was gashed? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	I did. ” “ Unassisted?
hvd.hnqlnx	I have already met the young girl sitting next him,he said, “ and who is her dinner partner?"
hvd.hnqlnx	I have n't seen you before; where's Jenkins?
hvd.hnqlnx	I may have; there is nothing distinctive about the knife. ”Is it not used for modeling in clay?"
hvd.hnqlnx	I should almost imagine"That I am engaged to her? ” calmly. hvd.hnqlnx I suspect- Captain Miller. ”"Miller?
hvd.hnqlnx	I thank you for the complimient, ” with icy polite- ness, “ but I must decline your proposal. ” “ You — you refuse?
hvd.hnqlnx	If you plan to do that, may I get your chauf- feur to take me home?
hvd.hnqlnx	In what way was it different?
hvd.hnqlnx	Is Mademoiselle here? ” asked the French maid, peering in uncertainly from the hall door. hvd.hnqlnx Is Spencer really dead? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqlnx	Is it not good news?
hvd.hnqlnx	Is it that I speak for all?
hvd.hnqlnx	Is n't this the design copied in building your ele- vator, Mr. Whitney? ” he asked. hvd.hnqlnx Is that so? ” Von Fincke walked over to his desk and seated himself.
hvd.hnqlnx	Is the purchaser to be the same for whom you are collecting horses and ammunition? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqlnx	Is this a séance?
hvd.hnqlnx	Is this all the fighting strength of the United States navy?
hvd.hnqlnx	Is this an indignation meeting or an as- semblage of Sisters in Unity?
hvd.hnqlnx	Is this your first visit to Washington, Captain?
hvd.hnqlnx	Julie?
hvd.hnqlnx	Kia- metia, what do you mean to insinuate? hvd.hnqlnx Mademoiselle?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Miller? hvd.hnqlnx Mr. Spencer? ” Foster drew back.
hvd.hnqlnx	Much improved. ”Did Miss Whitney speak to you of Mr. Spen- cer?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Must you go out, Dad? ” she asked helping him with his overcoat. hvd.hnqlnx Oui, monsieur. ”"Have you money?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Quite certain, Vincent? ” holding out a treasury bill with a persuasive gesture. hvd.hnqlnx Quite sure, Miss Gray?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Really?
hvd.hnqlnx	SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FOR- GOT? ”. hvd.hnqlnx Shall I go to the studio? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	She did not. ” “ Did you question her on the subject of the mys- tery surrounding Mr. Spencer's death? ”I did not.
hvd.hnqlnx	Tell me, Julie, what has aroused your suspicion? ” “ Many things. hvd.hnqlnx The electric light is only needed at night. ”"Do you recognize this knife?"
hvd.hnqlnx	The evidence is conclusive, is it not?
hvd.hnqlnx	Then how could you see Mr. Spencer so clearly?
hvd.hnqlnx	Then if the knife wound was not fatal, and there was no indication of intoxication, what caused Mr. Spencer's death?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Julie a well trained servant? ”She was indeed; also good- natured, thoughtful, and obedient."
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Julie dis- contented with her place? ” he asked, somewhat harshly. hvd.hnqlnx Was Mr. Spencer a great friend of yours? ”"No,"with uncomplimentary promptness.
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Mr. Spencer asleep?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Mr. Spencer in your confidence?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Mr. Spencer's bedroom in darkness when you ushered Miss Grey into it?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Mr. Spencer's manner the same as usual when he called upon you Tuesday evening?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Mr. Whit- ney wearing his ordinary business suit? ” he in- quired. hvd.hnqlnx Was it your habit to supply Julie with money?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Was the electric light turned on in the elevator when you entered it?.
hvd.hnqlnx	Was there any indication, Doctor, of resistance on the part of the deceased? hvd.hnqlnx Well, why should n't she?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Wh- what d- did you say?
hvd.hnqlnx	What can I do for you? ” he asked, coldly. hvd.hnqlnx What can I do for you?"
hvd.hnqlnx	What detained you?
hvd.hnqlnx	What did you think of the speech today?
hvd.hnqlnx	What do you make out of it, sir?
hvd.hnqlnx	What do you think of the verdict?
hvd.hnqlnx	What have you to report? hvd.hnqlnx What is that in your lap? ” and the coroner pointed to a paper box.'
hvd.hnqlnx	What is the matter with Kathleen tonight? hvd.hnqlnx What is the matter with Miss Kathleen? ” de.
hvd.hnqlnx	What leads you to think that? ”. hvd.hnqlnx What precautions would you suggest?"
hvd.hnqlnx	What price then all these suspected plots and futile intrigues?
hvd.hnqlnx	What should we do without hope in this world? hvd.hnqlnx What was your object in trying to rub out a blood stain on the front of Mr. Spencer's white shirt, Miss Whitney, while you were in the elevator?"
hvd.hnqlnx	What's your little game, Spencer? ” he asked softly, and a hearty kick punctuated the question. hvd.hnqlnx When did you discover Sinclair Spencer in the elevator, Kathleen?"
hvd.hnqlnx	When did you last see Julie, your mother's maid?
hvd.hnqlnx	When did you last see Julie?
hvd.hnqlnx	When did you see him last?
hvd.hnqlnx	Where did you find this note? ” he asked Mitchell. hvd.hnqlnx Where did you get that piece of information?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Where is he?
hvd.hnqlnx	Where were you yesterday afternoon, Randall? ” she asked. hvd.hnqlnx While in his room Tuesday night did you ob- serve his clothes on a chair or table?
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney? ” The question sprang simultaneously from Foster and Miller. hvd.hnqlnx Who cares? ” Whitney shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hnqlnx	Who is this fellow, Charles Miller?
hvd.hnqlnx	Why did you select that room? hvd.hnqlnx Why dissemble any longer?
hvd.hnqlnx	Why do you wish to see me, Mr. Spencer?.
hvd.hnqlnx	Why does Kathleen avoid me?
hvd.hnqlnx	Why have you not declared yourself before?
hvd.hnqlnx	Why the devil should I take you through my studio? ” he thundered, his anger rising. hvd.hnqlnx Why, what happened? ” Miller bent eagerly forward.
hvd.hnqlnx	Why?
hvd.hnqlnx	Will he, mademoiselle? hvd.hnqlnx Will the President review the fleet?"
hvd.hnqlnx	With whom? ” and sudden, sharp anxiety lay behind the abrupt question. hvd.hnqlnx Wo n't you wait for Captain Miller?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Years? hvd.hnqlnx You believe that he was interested in my inventions? ” “ I do; his actions certainly point to that conclu- sion."
hvd.hnqlnx	You have not lost your —“ Courage? ” “ Effrontery,"she finished.
hvd.hnqlnx	You made a thorough examination of Miss Whit- ney's room?
hvd.hnqlnx	You made the autopsy upon Mr. Sinclair Spen- cer?
hvd.hnqlnx	You make this proposal, and at this time?
hvd.hnqlnx	You take it for granted that Spencer was dead at that time?
hvd.hnqlnx	You think she is in danger?.
hvd.hnqlnx	You think so? ” and Mrs. Whitney dimpled with pleasure. hvd.hnqlnx You use azurea perfume, do you not? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	You? ” she blurted out, her white lips barely forming the word. hvd.hnqlnx Your full name?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Your information was reliable. ”Pardon, is not my information always reliable?"
hvd.hnqlnx	..""Favor his suit?
hvd.hnqlnx	...""Is n't the one nearest the heart the surest guide?"
hvd.hnqlnx	...""What is that? ” “ I do n't know, sir. ” Miller, who had been leaning forward in his eagerness, drew back.
hvd.hnqlnx	...""Who would not love her?"
hvd.hnqlnx	127 I SPY"Did anyone beside your immediate family spend last night in this house, Mr. Whitney? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	154 A QUESTION OF LOYALTY"What does the cook say about Julie's disap- pearance?"
hvd.hnqlnx	205 I SPY"Did you then make Mr. Sinclair Spencer's ac- quaintance?"
hvd.hnqlnx	222 A PROPOSAL"Have you seen Senator Foster today?"
hvd.hnqlnx	238 I SPY"And why did he confide in you?"
hvd.hnqlnx	282 I SPY Spencer or his estate? ” and the scorn in her eyes hurt Foster as she looked at him.
hvd.hnqlnx	29 I SPY"Well, what is it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	73 I SPY"And how is that to be accomplished if you have not the young lady's consent?"
hvd.hnqlnx	81 I SPY"In what way?"
hvd.hnqlnx	93 I SPY"Where have you been since dinner, Dad?
hvd.hnqlnx	AT VICTORIA STATION"Fleeting fancy?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Again I ask, what was your object in attempting to remove the blood stain?"
hvd.hnqlnx	All ready?
hvd.hnqlnx	Am I outside the pale of affection?"
hvd.hnqlnx	And 30 I SPY-sarcastically—"sweatshop?
hvd.hnqlnx	Are you willing to shield her at all costs?"
hvd.hnqlnx	But tell me, do you 80 KAISER BLUMEN know nothing about the man's family_his char- acter?"
hvd.hnqlnx	But what —? ” trying to peer past Foster.
hvd.hnqlnx	By the way, Kiametia, what kept you so long upstairs when Mitchell asked you to find out if Miller was with Miss Kathleen?"
hvd.hnqlnx	CCO 274 “ TRENTON HURRY ” “ What”—Miller looked anxiously at the chauf- feur-"what brought on the stroke?
hvd.hnqlnx	CHAPTER IV"SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Can I do anything for you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqlnx	Can I see Mr. Whitney? ”"Yes, sir, certainly, sir.
hvd.hnqlnx	Can you find any candles on the mantel, sir?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Can"-clearing his throat—"can Spen- cer be moved?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Careful of that step,"and as the morgue master appeared, he asked, “ Is Miss Kiametia Grey here?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Cough all the time- beastly climate, Washington. ” “ Why stay here?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Could she keep up the farce much longer?'
hvd.hnqlnx	Could she place faith in his sincerity?
hvd.hnqlnx	Did not the coroner's jury convict me?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Did you get a copy in Edmonston's?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Do you think it has any hope of success? ” “ I believe so; Whitney declares the experiments are entirely satisfactory."
hvd.hnqlnx	Does Dr. McLane hold out any hope?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Does not his death come at a most unfortunate moment?"
hvd.hnqlnx	From whom could she get a newspaper?
hvd.hnqlnx	Good Lord! ”"What can you tell me about Captain Miller? ” Her feminine curiosity was instantly aroused at his quick change of expression.
hvd.hnqlnx	Got potted yourself, did n't you? ” noticing a thin stream of blood trickling down his companion's sleeve.
hvd.hnqlnx	Had Italy cast her lot with the Allies?
hvd.hnqlnx	Had Kathleen spoken to them of his proposal of marriage that morning and her refusal?
hvd.hnqlnx	Had grief for them and anxiety for her beloved country developed hal- lucinations?
hvd.hnqlnx	Had the maid taken leave of her senses?
hvd.hnqlnx	Have a seat, Captain? ” But Miller declined, and stood watching Mitchell as he made a thorough search of the apartment.
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you everything you want, Kathleen?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Have you forgotten our relationship in Germany? ”"That is hardly the term for it, ” she said proudly.
hvd.hnqlnx	He was one of father's friends, and much older than I. ”"Were you not reported engaged to him last fall?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Hello, what is that on your index finger — a half- moon? ” “ Yes. ” Miller smiled covertly; the spinster's seri- ousness amused him immensely.
hvd.hnqlnx	Henry, did Vincent telephone for the doctor?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Her mother told me she had gone to bed early. ”"Did you see Mr. Whitney? ”"No."
hvd.hnqlnx	How came Julie to be back in the house?
hvd.hnqlnx	How came Miller to send her flowers which he knew were connected with that past he so ardently wished forgotten?
hvd.hnqlnx	How dared he thrust his presence upon her?
hvd.hnqlnx	I call at the State Department- no news; it is not in touch with secret history. ” “ My dear Baron, what can you expect?"
hvd.hnqlnx	I hope that you are not a peace- at- any- price American? ”"Indeed I am not,"and Kathleen's eyes sparkled.
hvd.hnqlnx	I thought she was as tough as a horse? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	In the dead silence that followed the ticking of the small desk clock was distinctly audible.. “ Why not leave well enough alone?''
hvd.hnqlnx	Is there some place I can wait down- stairs? ”"Yes, sir, the reception room. ” The butler led the way to it.
hvd.hnqlnx	It's a scar, is n't it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Kathleen Whitney, her kind friend rather than employer, was convicted then her absence had not benefited her?
hvd.hnqlnx	Keep me company?
hvd.hnqlnx	Kiametia?
hvd.hnqlnx	Listen, is n't that a shot?"
hvd.hnqlnx	May I ask how you know who I am?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Mrs. Whitney gave me the whis- key and a dressing- gown. ”"Can you tell me if Mr. Spencer was wearing his pajamas in bed?"
hvd.hnqlnx	No? ” Foster pecked viciously at his lamb chop.
hvd.hnqlnx	Now, Minna, what did you ask me a few minutes ago? ”"If you will have some hot coffee.
hvd.hnqlnx	On answering the bell from Mr. Whitney's studio I found Miss Grey there trying to revive him. ”"You answered the bell at four in the morning?"
hvd.hnqlnx	On entering it I found Mr. Spencer, whom I knew slightly, lying there dead. ”"Did you make a thorough examination?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Quickly he forestalled the question he saw coming, “ And your plan of campaign, Hartzmann, what of it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Shall I send Julie to you? ” “ Tell her to go to my room and wait for me."
hvd.hnqlnx	She is at the impressionable age and as apt as not to pick up an undesirable parti. ”"Why did n't Kathleen remain a schoolgirl? ” fumed Whitney.
hvd.hnqlnx	Should she not take them to Miss Kiametia?
hvd.hnqlnx	Spencer?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Spencer?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Spencer?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Spencer?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Sup- pose Henry, for instance, should take it into his head to examine them?
hvd.hnqlnx	Surely, Mr. Spencer, you can not have ex- pected any other answer — cannot have deluded your- self into thinking that I could possibly accept you?
hvd.hnqlnx	Surely, surely they were past the last of the Allies'trenches?
hvd.hnqlnx	Tell me, Dad”—Kath- leen regarded Whitney intently—“how is it that I am not in jail?
hvd.hnqlnx	Tell me, mademoiselle, what is Roebling's?"
hvd.hnqlnx	The 179 I SPY butler informed me that my services were needed by Miss Whitney, and I went at once to her. ” “ In what condition did you find her?"
hvd.hnqlnx	The Cross may yet be yours. ” “ How can I express my gratitude?"
hvd.hnqlnx	The chauffeur? ”"But yes.
hvd.hnqlnx	Then madame engages Henry...""Henry?
hvd.hnqlnx	They were- wonderful —"the Senator puffed nervously at his cigar—"perfect maps. ”"Indeed?"
hvd.hnqlnx	To what had he brought her?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was Julie's mind unbalanced?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was it de- liberate murder or suicide?
hvd.hnqlnx	Was there anything else you wished to see me about?
hvd.hnqlnx	What can have brought on this attack of hys- terics, Kiametia? ”"The Lord knows.
hvd.hnqlnx	What did that mean?
hvd.hnqlnx	What do you do but give up your time to the Sisters in Unity?
hvd.hnqlnx	What had Mrs. Robin- son meant by telling her she did not take newspa- pers?
hvd.hnqlnx	What had come over her?
hvd.hnqlnx	What have you there?"
hvd.hnqlnx	What is it, Sylvester?"
hvd.hnqlnx	What of the army? ”"Nothing definite to report today, Herr Captain.
hvd.hnqlnx	What possessed Kath- leen Whitney?
hvd.hnqlnx	What was he there for?
hvd.hnqlnx	What's that?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Where is Julie?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Which would reach him first- the per- son creeping upstairs or the automatic electric ele- vator?
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney.?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Who is Kathleen?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Who sent you those orchids?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Who?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Why are you protect- ing Whitney, unless he's your tool?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Why did her letters to England remain unanswered?
hvd.hnqlnx	Why did n't she let me know she was coming down here?"
hvd.hnqlnx	Why do you not apply to Senator Randall Foster?
hvd.hnqlnx	Why not go to a front window and hail a newsboy; there might be one in the vicinity?
hvd.hnqlnx	Wo n't you sit down, dear? ” pull- ing forward a chair.
hvd.hnqlnx	Would Miller's plan for catching Spencer's murderer work out?
hvd.hnqlnx	Would that other prove loyal?
hvd.hnqlnx	Yes?
hvd.hnqlnx	You are to go to America —"“ I? ” “ Yes, at once.
hvd.hnqlnx	ansi I SPY months?
hvd.hnqlnx	n 185 I SPY"Were you awakened during the night by any noise?"
hvd.hnqlnx	·"Have you an answer for me? ” as the servant paused.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ A blind? ” he repeated.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ About Sheerness? ” questioned the Herr Chief of the Secret Service.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Ah, indeed?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Ah, then she was in the habit of coming? ” Miller's remark remained unanswered.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ And how is the excellent Mr. Spencer this morn- ing?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ And modeling?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ And what is that?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ And which servant im- parted that information to you? ”"Henry, the chauffeur."
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Any further news tonight, Heinrich?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Any mail for me in the noon delivery? ” asked Kathleen, and her smile faded at the butler's nega- tive reply.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Any news of Julie's where- abouts, Minna?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Any or- ders?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Are you prepared to take it up?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Are you pro- German, Kiametia?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Are you willing to let me curtail your note with a payment of five thousand dollars? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ As for instance...? ”"Leave our methods to us; you have your work.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ At what height were they taken?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ But I think there is also another motive behind Spencer's murder, the significance of which we have not fully grasped. ” “ And that is? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ But will she not read the papers? ” touching the Times.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Ca n't he wait until tomorrow?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Can I see Miss Whitney? ”"No, you must wait until she is composed; the doctor is just administering an opiate, ” replied Whit- ney hastily.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Can you let me have a hundred dollars?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Can you not see that your presence is an offense?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Can you spare me a moment, Winslow?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Change your mind and have some Scotch?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did Foster happen to tell you that Sinclair Spencer had in his will made him executor of his estate?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did Mr. Spencer make any attempt to persuade you to reconsider your refusal? ” “ Yes. ” Kathleen shot an impatient look at the coroner.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did he agree to it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did n't you tell me 123 I SPY that someone was ill and required medical assis- tance?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did not your husband tell you of Mr. Spencer's presence?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did she tell you so? ” “ Well, no.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did you discover his presence at once? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did you examine the bedroom Mr. Spencer occupied Tuesday night, Mitchell?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did you give her my note? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did you hear no report?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did you not refuse Mr. Spencer's offer of marriage on Tuesday morning? ” For a moment Kathleen stared at him in speech- less surprise.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Did you wish to see Miss Kathleen, sir?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Do you call half- past six o'clock soon? ” asked Mrs. Whitney following him into the room.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Do you not realize the depth of my love?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Do you still wish me to keep up this particular work? ”"No."
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Do you think I will trust you with the drawings and models of my latest inventions? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Do you think the unsupported statement of a woman suspected of murder will find credence?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Eggs all right, sir? ” he asked anxiously, a trace of accent in his pleasant voice.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Gentlemen of the jury, ” he said,"have you reached a verdict? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Has your household access to your studio when ou are not there?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Have you ever seen such a knife before? ” ques- tioned the coroner.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ How? ” Foster looked mystified.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ I do not for one moment believe that Spencer was working alone. ”"You hint at conspiracy? ” Whitney frowned per- plexedly.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ I never awoke that night. ”"What took you downstairs at so early an hour yesterday morning?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ I slep'that heavy I niver hear her a'movin'around. ”"Was it her habit to get up before you did?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ I trust that she will then be more composed. ” “ Did she say nothing to you and Minna when you were with her before the doctor arrived?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ I understood you were not married?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ If he was not one of us, how came he to be killed?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Instead, you and the police should make every effort to find Julie and protect her..."“ From what?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Is cyanide of potassium used in photography?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Is n't that accord- ing to Hoyle?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Is that another name for Captain Miller?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Is that so?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ It always dwindles to thirteen at the last moment, and I have a nervous chill until the number is completed. ” “ Whose place did I fill?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Julie, are you quite mad? ” exclaimed Kathleen, her eyes twice their usual size.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Kathleen- is she ill? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Me, monsieur? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Miller?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Miss Whitney, did you not attempt to rub off with your handkerchief from Spencer's blood- stained shirt, Captain von Mueller's finger print?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Monsieur, can you explain this telegram?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ More visitors?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ My car at the door? ” he asked, as the man approached.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ My dear, why, why did you try to whitewash Julie?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Naturalized, or born in this country?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ No?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Of what branch of the service?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Or shall I translate my request into German?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Quite sure you ca n't find out about Miller? ” he persisted.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Room for me on the back seat?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ So you think I murdered Spencer?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Tell me frankly, 334 LOVE PARAMOUNT Kathleen, did you accept me on Tuesday only be- cause you thought me Karl?".
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Tell me, Mrs. Whitney, was Sinclair Spencer visiting you for any length of time?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Tell me, how have you succeeded with the passports? ” Von Fincke's expression changed.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Tell me,"Kathleen lowered her voice, “ when will the Grand Jury meet?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ The moment I saw him in bed, I fled. ”"Was he asleep?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Then how was the drug administered?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Then, will you give me their wages...""Wages? ” Whitney flushed with anger.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Through the blood. ”"By means of the knife?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ To see you day after day — Will nothing I say convince or move you?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Under the same conditions? ” “ The Imperial Government can not be ques- tioned, ” retorted his chief, his anger rising.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Vincent said something about Captain Miller having called — is the Captain here?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Wait until the coroner comes. ” “ The coroner?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Was Mr. Spencer on a friendly footing with each member of your household?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Was Mr. Spencer visiting you? ” he questioned.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Was he rough, boisterous? ” “ The latter, yes.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ We are going up to my boudoir, Kathleen; wo n't you come, dear?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Well, what then?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Well?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Were there indications of death from extreme alcoholism, then?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Were you aroused during the night by any noise?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What about this Spencer mystery, Baron?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What can be keeping Miss Grey? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What conclusions did you draw at the in- quest?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What do you mean? ” Foster laid an impatient hand on the old servant's shoulder.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What is it, John?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What night?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What possessed her to go to the sub- cellar?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What prompted Spencer to de- sire to steal my inventions?".
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What's this murder?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What's your opinion of Miller?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ What?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ When will it be convenient, sir, for you to take me into your studio?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ When? ”"Some time last night. ”"Will he recover? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ When? ”"Some time last night. ”"Will he recover? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Where are you 232 THE YELLOW STREAK going, Mitchell? ” observing the detective's rather shaken appearance.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Where are you going? ” as she moved forward.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Where is the jury? ” he asked, as soon as the paroxysm of cough- ing was over.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Where will they be?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Where, pray, did you pick him up?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Whitney must not be an- noyed. ” “ Indeed? ” Spencer eyed his companion suspi- ciously.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Who is the man glaring at us from the end of the table? ”.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Why did you not deliver them to me last night? ” he asked curtly.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Why discuss the matter further? ” asked Kath- leen.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Why do n't you chaps arrest such speeders?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Will mademoiselle attend the meeting tonight?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Will you drive, sir?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Will you kindly inform us who you are? ” he demanded peremptorily.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Will you smoke?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Winslow, I've asked the servants, and they tell me she has disap- peared..."“ She?
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Wo n't you sit down?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Yes, had n't you better send for him?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Yes, ma'am. ” “ Is Mr. Whitney in his studio? ” “ Yes, ma'am.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Yes. ” “ Were you educated in this city?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ Yes? ” his hand raised toward his hat at sight of a woman.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You are not engaged to him? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You are quite certain the Baron said he would return on the night train?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You are sure he wore nothing over it?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You are willing to shield Mademoiselle Kathleen at all costs? ” he asked.."Oui, monsieur."
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You ask me that?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You called me?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You do not, then, wish to make a con- fidant of the police?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You mean his camera for use in aeroplanes?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You still have yours? ” “ Yes, you will find it in my desk drawer at home. ” “ Had you only the one knife, Miss Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You still have yours? ” “ Yes, you will find it in my desk drawer at home. ” “ Had you only the one knife, Miss Whitney?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You understand the English tongue?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You?"
hvd.hnqlnx	“ You?''

hvd.hwkyry	152 THE EVIL SHEPHERD “ Bobby Fairfax's lot, by any chance?"
hvd.hwkyry	6 Why not? ” the man who had asked himself that question a dozen times already, demanded.
hvd.hwkyry	Am I to under- stand that you lied to me this morning?"
hvd.hwkyry	And a retired prize- fighter brought me home once from an Albert Hall dance. ” “ How did he behave? ” Francis asked.
hvd.hwkyry	And now this, I do n't understand it at all. ” “ Was the boy hard up?"
hvd.hwkyry	And, by- the- bye, which shall it be — Bohemia or Mayfair?
hvd.hwkyry	Are you going to work for any one else?
hvd.hwkyry	As you see, it came off. ” “ And the cause of their quarrel?
hvd.hwkyry	But why the dickens should it?"
hvd.hwkyry	Ca n't THE EVIL SHEPHERD 83 we leave your father and his tastes alone for the present?
hvd.hwkyry	Can I come and see you at your rooms, sir?
hvd.hwkyry	Can we have a word together? ” “ Certainly, ” was the ready reply.
hvd.hwkyry	Can you play a concertina?

hvd.hwkyry	Did she lack strength to realise that in that half- hour at the in- quest he had placed on record for ever his judgment of her deed?
hvd.hwkyry	Do you follow me?"
hvd.hwkyry	Does my offer satisfy you? ” The detective hesitated.
hvd.hwkyry	Either, in the long run, is likely to cost you dear. ” “ If that is your opinion of your father, why do you live with him?
hvd.hwkyry	Fields gave him some part of the punishment he deserved. ” “ And you were there, Cynthia?"
hvd.hwkyry	For that sum I understand you promise to keep what you saw to yourself?'

hvd.hwkyry	Have n't you guessed that I am very glad indeed to see you again?"
hvd.hwkyry	Have n't you heard about his wonderful parties down at The Walled House? ” Wilmore struck the table by his side with his clenched fist.
hvd.hwkyry	He did n't call there on the Wednesday night, anyhow. ” “ Where's the gymnasium? ”.
hvd.hwkyry	He does n't say why. ” “ Is that necessary? ” Francis asked good- naturedly.
hvd.hwkyry	He found the money for the last interna- tional fight. ” “ Does he often come in alone like this?"
hvd.hwkyry	He had been stabbed through the heart with some needle- like weapon, and was quite dead. ” “ Was there any vital cause of quarrel between them?"
hvd.hwkyry	He has not been seen or heard of since. ” “ Well? ” the manager asked.
hvd.hwkyry	He looked at his companion curiously.. “ What the devil do you mean, old chap?
hvd.hwkyry	He scarcely seemed man enough for a murderer, did he, when he sat quaking on that stool in Soto's Bar while Mr. Ledsam tortured him?
hvd.hwkyry	He was saving up for a motor- car. ” “ Have n't I seen him once or twice at restaurants lately?
hvd.hwkyry	He's fond of dancing, and we none of us ever encour- aged him to be a stay- at- home. ” “ Any particular girl was he interested in?"
hvd.hwkyry	He's not going to chuck the profes- sion, is he? ” “ Not by any means, ” Wilmore declared.
hvd.hwkyry	Hilditch, ” he said, “ will you allow me to make my apologies?
hvd.hwkyry	How much?'
hvd.hwkyry	I came THE EVIL SHEPHERD 53 stealthily, you may object?
hvd.hwkyry	I do not wish any man, Mr. Ledsam, to talk to me as you are doing. ” “ You will not accept my friendship?"
hvd.hwkyry	I feel that I shall have to be very careful, Mr. Ledsam, or"“ Or what?"
hvd.hwkyry	I have always loved normal ways and 148 THE EVIL SHEPHERD normal people, and the woman I care for is differ- ent. ” “ Tell me about her?
hvd.hwkyry	I have reason to believe, sir, that we are being passed over for briefs. ” “ The reason being? ” “ One ca n't pick and choose, sir.
hvd.hwkyry	I intend her to become my wife. ” “ Did you encourage her to leave me? ” “ I did not.
hvd.hwkyry	I know you're dying to talk about the Hilditch case, are n't you?
hvd.hwkyry	I married him because I believed that by doing so I was obeying my father's wishes. ” “ Where was your father at the time, then?"
hvd.hwkyry	I object to your mar- riage with my daughter, and I shall take what steps I can to prevent it. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hwkyry	I saw her in travelling clothes get into the car and drive away. ” “ She left the cottage this morning before us?"
hvd.hwkyry	I should n't have thought that anything short of an earthquake would have stirred Margaret, these days. ”. “ These days?
hvd.hwkyry	I thought it best. ” “ Tell me what has happened since?"
hvd.hwkyry	I thought of offering myself to Mr. Barnes. ” “ Why do you want to leave me?"
hvd.hwkyry	I was with him when he went down to have his swim. ” “ Did he seem in his usual spirits?"
hvd.hwkyry	I will undertake that you are a welcome guest. ” “ At what time do I come and how shall I find your house?
hvd.hwkyry	I wonder if you are wise to go, Francis?"
hvd.hwkyry	I wonder if you can un- derstand?"
hvd.hwkyry	I'll wait here. ” “ What about you? ” “ I have some clothes in my locker.
hvd.hwkyry	Is n't it some- thing like that? ” “ I suppose it is, ” she admitted wearily.
hvd.hwkyry	Is that strite enough?
hvd.hwkyry	Is this the place which a man whom I understand they call Billy the Tanner frequents?"
hvd.hwkyry	It is not unreasonable, therefore, is it, that we should come to you for information?"
hvd.hwkyry	It seems, however, that she was anxious to get to a ball which was being given down in Kensington. ” “ There was a ball, was there?
hvd.hwkyry	Lately it seems to me that she has got into the wrong set. ” “ What do you call the wrong set? ” He hesitated for a moment.
hvd.hwkyry	Ledsam, ” he said, “ I have come to ask you if you know anything of my daughter's where- abouts?"
hvd.hwkyry	Ledsam? ” she enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	May I ask what they are? ” “ I will translate them into facts, ” Francis re- plied.
hvd.hwkyry	My only desire has been to reach the next place where men and women were. ” “ Irrespective of nationality?
hvd.hwkyry	Not one of my own special little pets, I hope? ” “ Her name is Miss Daisy Hyslop, ” Francis an- nounced.
hvd.hwkyry	Nothing to do but wait, what?
hvd.hwkyry	Nothing whatever, that is to say, except one almost insig- nificant thing. ” “ And that? ” “ A slight tendency towards bad company, sir.
hvd.hwkyry	Of course, you remember the old house, The Walled Palace, they called it?
hvd.hwkyry	Reginald Wilmore?
hvd.hwkyry	Shall I help you, Mr. Ledsam? ” “ I wish you would, ” Francis confessed.
hvd.hwkyry	Shall I tell you why?
hvd.hwkyry	THE EVIL SHEPHERD 135 “ Margaret,"he said, “ will you look after Mr. Ledsam for a little time?
hvd.hwkyry	THE EVIL SHEPHERD 141 “ Sir Timothy has been showing me some of the wonders of his villa — do you call it a villa or a pal- ace?
hvd.hwkyry	THE EVIL SHEPHERD 209 “ Where are you going? ” she asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyry	THE EVIL SHEPHERD 23 “ Any choice, Francis? ” his host enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	THE EVIL SHEPHERD tovi"“ Have n't I seen you before somewhere quite lately?"
hvd.hwkyry	Tell me about it at once?
hvd.hwkyry	Tell me what you care about most in life?"
hvd.hwkyry	That is rather a matter of your own choice, is it not? ” “ Perhaps so.
hvd.hwkyry	The guiltier a man, the greater the success if you can get him off. ” “ And turn him loose again upon Society?"
hvd.hwkyry	The man will probably present me with a gold pencil- case, and the woman-"“ Well, what about the woman? ” Wilmore asked, after a brief pause.
hvd.hwkyry	To tell you the truth, we came here to ask you a question about him. ” “ What is his name?"
hvd.hwkyry	Was I lurking out- side that night, Mr. Shopland, to guide that young man's flabby arm?
hvd.hwkyry	Was it remorse that troubled her, he wondered?
hvd.hwkyry	We shall see! ” “ Do you know the thing that I found most inter- esting about him?"
hvd.hwkyry	We understand one another?"
hvd.hwkyry	We will be back within the hour. ” “ We?"
hvd.hwkyry	Were you serious, Francis, when you told me that that was his wife? ” “ She herself was my informant, ” was the quiet reply.
hvd.hwkyry	What are we going to do?
hvd.hwkyry	What are you doing here by yourself?"
hvd.hwkyry	What are you going to do then? ” “ I am planning a long cruise.
hvd.hwkyry	What did he want?
hvd.hwkyry	What did you say, Margaret? ” he enquired, breaking off abruptly.
hvd.hwkyry	What do you say, Mr. Shopland?
hvd.hwkyry	What is there to love in me?
hvd.hwkyry	What there is to be done falls to my lot. ” “ Had the police anything to say about it?"
hvd.hwkyry	What woman?"
hvd.hwkyry	When can we dine together and talk about crime?"
hvd.hwkyry	Where are you living? ” “ For the present with my father in Curzon Street. ” “ With Sir Timothy Brast?"
hvd.hwkyry	Where are you living? ” “ For the present with my father in Curzon Street. ” “ With Sir Timothy Brast?"
hvd.hwkyry	Why do you now withhold yours from me?"
hvd.hwkyry	Why?"
hvd.hwkyry	Will you call and see me as soon as possible?
hvd.hwkyry	Will you let me mix you another drink, sir?
hvd.hwkyry	Would it be too much to ask you now, Mr. Ledsam, for that single minute alone?
hvd.hwkyry	You agree with me so far? ” “ Entirely, ” Francis assented.
hvd.hwkyry	You do n't care about trifling with Eternity, eh?
hvd.hwkyry	You do n't share his tastes, do you? ” “ Which ones?
hvd.hwkyry	You do n't share his tastes, do you? ” “ Which ones?
hvd.hwkyry	You find our methods harsh, Ledsam? ” he asked, turning a challenging gaze towards the latter.
hvd.hwkyry	You heard of the accident, for in- stance, to Norris?
hvd.hwkyry	You know the river name for it?
hvd.hwkyry	You like me, do n't you?
hvd.hwkyry	You practise your profession in the criminal courts, do you not?"
hvd.hwkyry	You spent the night at his country cottage, did you not, Mr. Ledsam?
hvd.hwkyry	You will excuse us, Led- sam?
hvd.hwkyry	You will not mind?"
hvd.hwkyry	You will re- member speaking to me of Sir Timothy Brast?"
hvd.hwkyry	You'll join us, sir?"
hvd.hwkyry	Your roses were beautiful, but whatever made you send them to me? ” “ Impulse, ” he answered.
hvd.hwkyry	girls who do the sort of rubbish I do on the stage. ” “ What do I look like?
hvd.hwkyry	it not, since we met? ” She stood by his side, and for a few moments neither of them spoke.
hvd.hwkyry	» “ What for? ” some one asked.
hvd.hwkyry	— a chapter in your day's work?
hvd.hwkyry	“ A big thing on to- night, is n't there, sir? ” he asked cautiously.
hvd.hwkyry	“ A bullet? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ A woman who met me outside the Court and told me the story of Oliver Hilditch's life. ” “ A stranger?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Abandon these futile attempts at black- mail and just come this way to the writing- table. ” “ You've got the tenner with you?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Adventuring?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ After all, why not? ” he asked, a little defiantly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ All very well, ” the young man grumbled, “ but what can we do?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Alone?
hvd.hwkyry	“ And do you mean to say that you keep that huge place empty? ” Francis asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyry	“ And that one person, sir? ” “ Miss Daisy Hyslop. ” “ The young lady whom I have already seen?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ And that one person, sir? ” “ Miss Daisy Hyslop. ” “ The young lady whom I have already seen?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ And then? ” he asked simply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ And this South American trip, ” he continued, as they turned towards the French windows, “ you'll call that off? ” Sir Timothy hesitated.
hvd.hwkyry	“ And you?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Any news? ” Francis enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Any progress, Mr. Shopland?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Anything fresh, Angrave?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are there really men who possess such things? ” “ I hope you will discover that for yourself some day, ” he answered.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are they gamesters, dope fiends, or simply vicious?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are they really so wonderful? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are we fortunate enough to find you disen- gaged, ” Hilditch suggested, “ to- morrow evening?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are we going to have luncheon?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are we really to dance?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are we to see the fight in the gymnasium?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you a devotee, Mr. Ledsam?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you accusing me — or any of us — Victor's pals? ” “ I accuse no one, ” Francis replied, unperturbed.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you dining any- where? ” “ I thought of staying on here, ” was the indif- ferent reply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you going to drop me?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you looking for Margaret?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you not also curious to penetrate the mysteries behind the wall, Mr. Ledsam?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Are you so sure of all these things, Margaret?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ As for the gist of my evidence, that was between my conscience and myself. ” “ Your conscience?
hvd.hwkyry	“ As, for instance? ” “ She goes to the National Sporting Club.
hvd.hwkyry	“ As, for instance?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ At present we are quite in the dark. ” “ You found the weapon, I hear? ” Shopland nodded.
hvd.hwkyry	“ At your suggestion, I presume?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Believe her?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ But how can you? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hwkyry	“ But if you knew all this, ” he demanded, “ why on earth did n't you come forward and give evidence?
hvd.hwkyry	“ But what on earth made you build it, so long as you do n't care to live there?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ But you'd come and dine with us? ” Sir Timothy hesitated.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Ca n't I come with you?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Can I have a word with you, Mr. Ledsam? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Can I speak to you for a moment, Mr. Ledsam? ” The barrister frowned slightly as he swung around to confront his questioner.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Can you solve a puzzle for me, Mr. Ledsam? ” “ I would do anything for you that I could, ” he answered.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Come and see me one afternoon, will you?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Come,"she said, “ must I remind you of your promise?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Could you come? ” “ I'll be there immediately, ” the doctor prom- ised.
hvd.hwkyry	“ D'yer know wot I'm going to do? ” “ I have no idea, ” Sir Timothy confessed.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Did you like it?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Did you think I meant to starve you? ”.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Did you'ear that, guvnor?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do I look like a person who knew what he was talking about? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do n't you think it is, perhaps, be- cause there has been no one to care for you as I do- as I shall — to the end of my days?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you believe now that he was pull- ing our legs?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you know a Mr. Wilmore who comes here sometimes? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you know that I kissed you last night? ” he reminded her.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you know where she is now?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you know you are the most beautiful thing on earth?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you mean to affirm solemnly that what you have been telling me is the truth? ” The woman continued to button her gloves.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you mean to say that you are the father of — of Oliver Hil- ditch's wife? ” “ Widow,"the other corrected gently.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you mind telling my friend what you told me the other day?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you mind, or would you rather have it here? ” “ I much prefer it there, ” he assured her.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you play golf, Ledsam? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you realise, father, that Cynthia is making the most brazen advances to you?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you rule out scenery as well as sport from amongst the joys of travel?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you want to make a girl of me again? ” “ Well, I should n't be a magician, should I?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Do you want to make a girl of me again? ” “ Well, I should n't be a magician, should I?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Does that matter, nowadays?
hvd.hwkyry	“ D’yer'ear?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Everything ready for the great show to- morrow night? ” Francis asked, as he served the cocktails.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Excellent tobacco, ” he murmured. “ By- the- bye, what did you say the young man's name was?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Five shillings a year. ” “ And how many members?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ For the first part?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Francis, ” he went on, studying his companion in- tently, “ what's the matter with you?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Harm?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Has Lady Cynthia arrived yet? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Have I any rights at all?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Have n't I seen you somewhere before?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Have one with me for luck? ” the young man invited brightly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Have you forgotten that our friend promised us a sensation before we left? ” Wilmore began to laugh a little derisively.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Have you found your friend?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ He was living with his mother, was n't he? ” “ Down at Kensington, but he has n't been there since Monday, ” Andrew replied.
hvd.hwkyry	“ His secretary has arrived from town with a very large correspondence which they are now engaged upon. ” “ And Mrs. Hilditch?
hvd.hwkyry	“ How can you possibly contemplate association with the daughter of a man whom you suspect and distrust as you do me?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ How does it seem, my arch- criminal, to be still breathing God's fresh air?
hvd.hwkyry	“ How long have you known her? ” “ We were at school together for a short time, ” she told him.
hvd.hwkyry	“ How much? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ How was he?
hvd.hwkyry	“ However was she induced to marry a person like Oliver Hilditch? ” Francis speculated.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Hullo, Andrew,"he greeted him, “ what are you doing here by yourself?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ I do n't think, ” Francis said quietly, “ that Sir Timothy is quite that sort of man. ” “ Dash it all, what sort of man is he?
hvd.hwkyry	“ I may hope to hear from you, then, sir?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ I say, what the hell are you getting at? ” he cried.
hvd.hwkyry	“ I should think she would fail, wo n't she? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ I was going to speak to you of nerves,"she said, “ but how would you ever understand?
hvd.hwkyry	“ I wonder whether you would mind look- ing after Lady Cynthia?
hvd.hwkyry	“ I've got to get up the'ill, ’ aven't I?
hvd.hwkyry	“ If it were not a perfectly fatuous question, I should ask what you were doing here, Jimmy?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ If there were — “ If there were? ” she asked, leaning a little for- ward and looking at him with a touch of the old brilliancy in her eyes.
hvd.hwkyry	“ If you please, sir,"he announced, “ you are wanted on the telephone. ” “ I? ” Francis exclaimed.
hvd.hwkyry	“ If you will excuse me, sir, this is where I should like to descend. ” “ You have no message for Mr. Wilmore, then? ” Francis asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ In what way?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Is Sir Timothy back yet? ” Margaret enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Is he to stay all the time?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Is no one else breakfasting? ” Francis asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Is there?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Is your brother a member?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ It seems unnatural to you, I suppose?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Jimmy, ” he asked, “ what goes on here besides dancing and boxing and gambling?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Lady Isabel?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Let me see, there was nothing stolen from the young man's person, was there?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Mar- garet, do you hear that music?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Mar- garet, what have you to say about all this?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ May I be allowed to call upon you? ” he went on, doggedly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ More applicants for invitations?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ More mysteries?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ My dear fellow, how do I know or care? ” was the indifferent reply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ My entertainments appeal more, as a rule, to men. ” “ Why do n't you be thoroughly original and issue no invitations to women at all?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Never again. ” “ Because of that woman's story?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ No one else? ” “ No one, under any pretext. ” Sir Timothy hurried back to the hall, and the others followed him in more leisurely fashion.
hvd.hwkyry	“ No?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Now cure me. ”* I could point out the promised land, but how could I lead you to it?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Now how's that for a first course?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Of course, you know that he was in prison for six months?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Outside in a taxi?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Responsibility?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Shall I lay the cloth? ” “ Leave everything on the tray, Brooks, ” Francis THE EVIL SHEPHERD 165 directed.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Shall I ring the gong, madam? ” he asked Mar- garet.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Shall we like her in the family, Francis? ” “ No airs! ” Lady Cynthia warned her.
hvd.hwkyry	“ She had nothing to say?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Shopland, ” he said, “ I believe that our intelli- gences, such as they are, are akin. ” “ What do you suspect Sir Timothy of?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Sir Timothy does n't care about cards being played here at all. ” “ What is the principal entertainment, then? ” Francis demanded.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Sit down, will you? ” Francis sat down and ordered his lunch.
hvd.hwkyry	“ So would you be if you'd sat opposite that woman for half- an- hour, and heard her story. ” «?
hvd.hwkyry	“ So you are going to keep your engagement to- night, Francis? ” he observed.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Soto's, for instance?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Still, I'm glad I have n't to go. ” “ Do you really mean that you would have come after me? ” she asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Tell me your plans?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Tell me, did you say anything to her last night?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Tell me, then, why my father asked you here to- night?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Tell me, what manner of a man is your father? ” Francis asked impulsively.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Tell us where you are going in all that splendour? ” Sir Timothy shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwkyry	“ That is all you have to say, Sir Timothy? ” he asked politely.
hvd.hwkyry	“ That suits you, Margaret?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ That's wot we does with big toffs who come'ang- ing around'ere. ” “ Do you? ” Sir Timothy said calmly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ That, ” he admitted, “ was due to chance. ” “ Shall we exchange notes? ” Sir Timothy sug- gested gently.
hvd.hwkyry	“ The Walled House? ” he ventured.
hvd.hwkyry	“ The boxing? ” The bartender shook his head.
hvd.hwkyry	“ The murderer was n't taking any chances, whoever he was. ” “ Have the police been sent for? ” The head- porter stepped forward.
hvd.hwkyry	“ The trouble seems to be, so far as I am concerned, that no one will tell me exactly of what I am suspected?
hvd.hwkyry	“ The two of you, d’yer'ear? ” he shouted.
hvd.hwkyry	“ There was a fight?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ There was noth- ing the matter with him so far as I know. ” “ He did n't say anything about going away?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ There was plenty here a few minutes ago. ” “ Scared of me, eh? ” the other repeated, staring hard at Sir Timothy.
hvd.hwkyry	“ This is all because of the Hilditch affair, I sup- pose? ” “ Entirely."
hvd.hwkyry	“ This is the place?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ This little banquet, then, was unpremeditated? ” “ Entirely,"Francis replied.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Upset you?
hvd.hwkyry	“ We poor mortals find it difficult to understand that with you all that show of passionate earnestness is merely — what did you call it?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well, my altruistic peerer into other people's affairs, how goes it?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well? ” The monosyllable was in her usual level tone.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Well?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ What about Francis? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What about moving on somewhere? ” he sug- gested.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What about our friend Sir Timothy Brast?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ What can I do for you, gentlemen? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What can I have the pleasure of making for you, sir?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ What did your father say when he discovered the truth?
hvd.hwkyry	“ What do you make of that lot? ” Francis asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What do you think of me now?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ What do you think of that? ”.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What do you want to speak to me about? ” he repeated bluntly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What do you want? ” he asked, a little curtly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What have those people been doing here? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What is happening?
hvd.hwkyry	“ What is the meaning of this? ” he demanded sharply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What manner of one? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What questions did you wish to ask?
hvd.hwkyry	“ What the devil are you doing? ” Sir Timothy demanded.
hvd.hwkyry	“ What the mischief is this?
hvd.hwkyry	“ What was his usual programme when he left the office?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ When did you see my father?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where are we going to now?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where do you suppose they disappear to?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where to?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where to?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where was it picked up?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where's all the crowd, Tom?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Where's your big friend? ” he shouted.
hvd.hwkyry	“ While I punt, I suppose?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Who can tell? ” was the speculative reply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Who the devil are you, sir,"he demanded, “ and where did you come from?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Who the mischief are the criminal classes?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Who wants me? ” “ It is Margaret Hilditch speaking, ” she an- nounced.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why ca n't I come with you? ” “ I am going where I can not take you,"was the firm reply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why ca n't you slip out and look for a taxi your- self? ” she suggested.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why do n't the police take a hand in the matter if the man is such a nuisance?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why is it,"the novelist continued speculatively, “ that, whenever we take another man's wife out, we think it necessary to order red roses?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why not?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why not?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why not?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why not? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why not?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why on earth ca n't he come in? ” “ I never heard such rot, ” another declared.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why should I be?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why should you think that? ” Francis shrugged his shoulders slightly.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why, my dear, ” she exclaimed, “ wherever did you vanish to last night?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why? ” was the puzzled reply.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Why?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Will you dine with me at Hatch End to- night?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Will you take me up to town, Mr. Ledsam? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ With how much of your knowledge of the affair are you going to indulge me?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ With me?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You actually saw the fight, then? ” Francis asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You are busy over there, father?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You are not angry? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You are puzzled, Mr. Ledsam?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You are quite sure you're not one of these amateur detectives one reads about?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You are surprised to see me here living with my husband, after what I told you yesterday after- noon?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You do n't mind my having asked Cynthia to lunch with us?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You going down, sir?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You have nothing more to say?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You know her? ” Margaret enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You know him?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You know whose party it is, of course?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You mean?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You motor down, I suppose?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You never cared for him, then? ” “ I tried to, ” she replied simply, “ but I found it impossible.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You remem- ber my friend Shopland, Sir Timothy?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You remember Mr. Ledsam? ” Francis drew a little breath of relief as he bowed over her hand.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You still believe all that I told you?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ You surely did n't expect I was going to get up?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You were going away without seeing me again? ” he asked reproachfully.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You will excuse me now?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You wo n't forget that my name is Francis, will you?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You'll be good to Margaret?
hvd.hwkyry	“ You're by the way of being a collector, are n't you? ” Wilmore shook his head.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You're not taking him seriously, are you? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkyry	“ You've been spy- ing on me?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Your father seems to have taken quite a fancy to me. ”"And you?"
hvd.hwkyry	“ Your first visit, is n't it, sir?
hvd.hwkyry	“ Your name is Francis Ledsam? ” “ It is, ” he admitted.
hvd.hwkyry	“ Your son- in- law? ” he repeated.
hvd.hwkyry	” Sir Timothy ob- THE EVIL SHEPHERD 117: “ Then what, ” Francis asked, “ has become of him?"
hvd.hwkyry	• Where?'
hvd.hwjs8i	- “ No, not that. ” “ I suppose your motives are a secret? ” Marion laughed a little, perhaps at her own curiosity.
hvd.hwjs8i	2 I 3 “ Well — yes — I do. ” “ Any particular costume? ” “ Yes — ” Brett hesitated slightly and smiled.
hvd.hwjs8i	2 I5 the story that he arrived in New York yester- day? ” “ What story? ” Brett asked, turning sharply upon the young man.
hvd.hwjs8i	2 I5 the story that he arrived in New York yester- day? ” “ What story? ” Brett asked, turning sharply upon the young man.
hvd.hwjs8i	205 “ I do not think you understand what friend- ship really means. ” “ Friendship? ” Brett exclaimed.
hvd.hwjs8i	225 “ Has anybody seen Brett here? ” inquired Goss.
hvd.hwjs8i	229 which other people will look at it? ” inquired Mr. Brown, sententiously.
hvd.hwjs8i	23 I Upon my soul, Vanbrugh, I can not see why it is so improbable. ” “ You are not in earnest, Brown? ” asked Brett.
hvd.hwjs8i	250 MARION DARCHE, “ And you do mind, I suppose? ” “ Yes — I am foolish enough to care, ” answered Vanbrugh, glancing at her.
hvd.hwjs8i	After all, what has he to do?
hvd.hwjs8i	After all, what is stock?
hvd.hwjs8i	After all, what is the use of choosing words and beating about the bush?
hvd.hwjs8i	All, dear? ” Suddenly his resolution broke down.
hvd.hwjs8i	Am I dreaming?
hvd.hwjs8i	Am I in the way?
hvd.hwjs8i	Am I right? ” Mrs. Darche blushed a little, and a shade of annoyance crossed her face.
hvd.hwjs8i	Am I right? ” “ To Some extent. ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	And do you think that I would hang such a weight as that about your neck? ” “ But you are wrong, ” answered Brett, earnestly.
hvd.hwjs8i	And he tells you all about the Darches, does he? ” “ Oh no!
hvd.hwjs8i	And if Vanbrugh were not himself in love with Marion, an idea which Dolly scouted with wrath, why did he not offer himself to her, Dolly Maylands?
hvd.hwjs8i	And who should the right man have been, pray? ” “ Oh no!
hvd.hwjs8i	And — and — where does Mr. Vanbrugh come in? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hwjs8i	Anything else you would like to ask? ” “ No — thanks.
hvd.hwjs8i	Anything important?
hvd.hwjs8i	Are not you three directors of the other road?
hvd.hwjs8i	Are there no laws?
hvd.hwjs8i	Are we to bow our heads and submit patiently to such a fate as that?
hvd.hwjs8i	Are you coming too? ” “ Yes, I am going to lunch with the Darches too. ” “ And you never told me so?
hvd.hwjs8i	Are you coming too? ” “ Yes, I am going to lunch with the Darches too. ” “ And you never told me so?
hvd.hwjs8i	Are you growing lazy in your old age, Mr. Vanbrugh? ” “ Awfully! ” “ How well you talk.
hvd.hwjs8i	Because I am not going far. ” “ How far? ” “ That is a rude question.
hvd.hwjs8i	Brown? ” “ Yes, thank you.
hvd.hwjs8i	But I think you are mistaken. ” “ Am I? ’ ’ Dolly asked, turning her face to him again.
hvd.hwjs8i	But I will forgive you on one condition. ” “ I never accept conditions. ” “ Unconditional surrender?
hvd.hwjs8i	But if you would only let me, in other ways, I could make it so much easier for you. ” “ Could you? ” asked John, turning upon her immediately.
hvd.hwjs8i	But you have had a perfectly fair trial. ” “ Will you not help me get away? ” Darche urged, knowing that this was his last chance.
hvd.hwjs8i	Come — what is it? ” “ You asked if I cared for one particular person, ” said Vanbrugh, gently.
hvd.hwjs8i	Could you not go along with them and see that the man is really set at liberty? ” 286 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	Darche never speaks of him, I believe? ” The question came from Bewlay.
hvd.hwjs8i	Darche, who landed from an Italian vessel last night. ” “ Have you seen him? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	Did you come here to quarrel with me, old man?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do n't you see that we have kept it all from him? ” “ Kept it all from me? ” asked the old gentle- man, fiercely turning upon her.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do n't you see that we have kept it all from him? ” “ Kept it all from me? ” asked the old gentle- man, fiercely turning upon her.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you know who sent them? ” “ Stubbs brought them in, a little while ago, ” Dolly replied.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you know?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you mean that we shall lose money? ” “ I mean that and I mean something more.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you mean to lend this money to some one?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you mean to say that they are trying to implicate the old gentleman too? ” Marton Darche.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you not know what I should feel if people looked askance at you, and grew cold in their acquaintance, and smiled to each other when you went by?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you not see how they go on together, always sitting in corners and talking in undertones?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you not see that if I married you now, I should be haunted through every minute of my life by the bitter presence of the wrong done you?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you not think life is very bearable as we are? ” By this time Marion had completely regained 7* IOO MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you not trust me now? ” “ Yes, ” Marion answered after a pause.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you not? ” “ I — oh, well, in a sort of a fatherly way, I suppose. ” He held up one of the photographs upside down and looked at it.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you suppose that such a woman would leave the poor old gentleman to be taken care of by strangers?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you think I am afraid?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you think I could see Mrs. Darche?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you think I would ever accept such a position as that?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you think that would be easy to bear?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you think you could explain, Mrs. Wil- loughby?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you understand now?
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you understand? ” Dolly had glanced at him several times while he had been speaking, but when he finished she looked into the fire again.
hvd.hwjs8i	Do you? ” He could hardly distinguish the words.
hvd.hwjs8i	Does it not? ” “ Yes, it does, ” said Brett, slowly.
hvd.hwjs8i	Does she dislike me especially — I mean more than most people — more than you do, for instance? ” “ John! ” 6O MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	Dolly Chilton has been dead these twenty years. ” “ What does he mean? ” asked Dolly in a whisper.
hvd.hwjs8i	Dolly Chilton?
hvd.hwjs8i	Dolly? ” repeated the old man.
hvd.hwjs8i	Drowning is not pleasant in this weather. ” “ Oh you do not really think he will be drowned? ” “ No.
hvd.hwjs8i	For a minute? ” “ I daresay, ” replied Cousin Annie, doubt- fully.
hvd.hwjs8i	Have you found out nothing?
hvd.hwjs8i	Have you nothing more to tell me? ” “ Yes, there is something to tell you. ” “ What? ” “ Bad news. ” “ Bad?
hvd.hwjs8i	Have you nothing more to tell me? ” “ Yes, there is something to tell you. ” “ What? ” “ Bad news. ” “ Bad?
hvd.hwjs8i	Have you nothing more to tell me? ” “ Yes, there is something to tell you. ” “ What? ” “ Bad news. ” “ Bad?
hvd.hwjs8i	Have you thought of what might happen if Darche were alive? ” he asked, reverting to the subject uppermost in his mind.
hvd.hwjs8i	He is sure to be found guilty, is he not? ” “ Quite sure, ” Brett answered slowly.
hvd.hwjs8i	He says just what he thinks. ” “ Does he?
hvd.hwjs8i	Historical?
hvd.hwjs8i	How can you be so sure?
hvd.hwjs8i	How do you define liking? ” “ Oh, it is very vague, ” said Dolly in an airy tone.
hvd.hwjs8i	How do you know? ” Marion knit her brows in annoyance.
hvd.hwjs8i	How long have you been married? ” “ I am not married, ” answered the young girl, suppressing a smile.
hvd.hwjs8i	How long is it since that note came? ” “ About twenty minutes, I should think. ” “ Doctors are generally punctual, ” observed Darche.
hvd.hwjs8i	How many women in your position ever had such a chance?
hvd.hwjs8i	However, you will not have much chance of showing off your weakness this morning. ” “ Why not? ” “ You might say you are sorry!
hvd.hwjs8i	I always felt that she had married him by mistake. ” “ By mistake?
hvd.hwjs8i	I am quite sure that he did not recognise me yesterday. ” “ Not recognise you? ” said John, with the same disagreeable laugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	I hardly think that Marion will marry again. ” “ I suppose they are admirably suited to each other? ” “ Who? ” “ Who?
hvd.hwjs8i	I hardly think that Marion will marry again. ” “ I suppose they are admirably suited to each other? ” “ Who? ” “ Who?
hvd.hwjs8i	I hardly think that Marion will marry again. ” “ I suppose they are admirably suited to each other? ” “ Who? ” “ Who?
hvd.hwjs8i	I hope you do not believe that is what I said?
hvd.hwjs8i	I know it is wrong but I can not help it, and you must try to be as patient as you can, my dear. ” “ I do try, John; I do try, do I not?
hvd.hwjs8i	I never make rash assertions. ” “ No?
hvd.hwjs8i	I see. ” “ Do you? ” “ Uncles and aunts sometimes marry, do they not? ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	I see. ” “ Do you? ” “ Uncles and aunts sometimes marry, do they not? ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	I think I had better not ask it. ” “ About Marion and Mr. Brett? ” “ Why? ” Dolly asked, looking up quickly, and then hesitating.
hvd.hwjs8i	I think I had better not ask it. ” “ About Marion and Mr. Brett? ” “ Why? ” Dolly asked, looking up quickly, and then hesitating.
hvd.hwjs8i	I thought he was your best friend. ” “ What has that to do with it?
hvd.hwjs8i	I will not be divorced from him; do you know why?
hvd.hwjs8i	I wonder whether it is very wrong to say such things. ” “ Wrong?
hvd.hwjs8i	I43 “ What an idea?
hvd.hwjs8i	II 3 other millions that have gone through his hands — gone heaven knows where. ” “ Millions? ” There was surprise in her tone.
hvd.hwjs8i	If it were an ordinary payment you would certainly not want it in notes in the house. ” “ How do you know? ” asked Marion, with Some impatience.
hvd.hwjs8i	If you were I should not like you. ” “ Do you like me? ” asked Vanbrugh quickly.
hvd.hwjs8i	In fact, I believe they are engaged to be married. ” “ Do you really?
hvd.hwjs8i	Io?
hvd.hwjs8i	Is John Darche acting honestly by the Company — and by other people?
hvd.hwjs8i	Is Mrs. Darche happy? ” Miss Maylands paused at the corner of the park, looked through the railings and smoothed 22 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is he quite mad? ” Mrs. Darche answered her only by a warning look, and then, turning away, seemed to hesitate 6+ 84 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is it not?
hvd.hwjs8i	Is old Simon Darche in his right mind, so as to understand what is going on?
hvd.hwjs8i	Is that all? ” “ Thank you, ” said John Darche, and for one moment a look of something like genuine grati- tude passed over his hard face.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is that it? ” “ Of course, ” Dolly answered without hesitation.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is that it? ” “ Or you and me, ” suggested Mrs. Darche in perfect innocence.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is that what you mean? ” inquired Marion with some Scorn.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is the report correct? ” “ I believe so, ” answered Brett, coldly.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is there any other? ” “ No, dear. ” But his eyes answered before he spoke.
hvd.hwjs8i	Is there no justice?
hvd.hwjs8i	Is this man who was dead to you and all the world, if not to me, to ruin both our lives?
hvd.hwjs8i	It does not upset my nerves as it does yours. ” “ You shall not say that gravity upsets my nerves! ” “ Shall not?
hvd.hwjs8i	It is assuming too much intimacy. ” “ Is it? ” asked Dolly innocently.
hvd.hwjs8i	It is very much the same thing, I fancy. ” “ Is that all? ” asked Vanbrugh with a short laugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	John, is this state of things to go on for ever? ”- “ I fancy not.
hvd.hwjs8i	Let me give you another cup of tea? ” “ Thanks, I have not finished, ” said Cousin Annie.
hvd.hwjs8i	Mr. John's dead, is he?
hvd.hwjs8i	Of course — you had reason to. ” “ What reason? ” Vanbrugh looked up quickly, as he asked the question.
hvd.hwjs8i	Really alive, after all — and this story to- day?
hvd.hwjs8i	Shall I ring the bell? ” “ Unless you mean to take me round Gramercy Park again and show me more nurses and per- ambulators and dirty dogs.
hvd.hwjs8i	Shall we go in? ” “ We?
hvd.hwjs8i	Shall we go in? ” “ We?
hvd.hwjs8i	She really gets much more rest than you or I, not to mention the fact — well, I suppose I ought not to say it. ” “ What?
hvd.hwjs8i	Should you like some tea, Dolly? ” “ Why not me?
hvd.hwjs8i	Should you like some tea, Dolly? ” “ Why not me?
hvd.hwjs8i	Since he is to live, what do you think is the matter with the Darche establishment?
hvd.hwjs8i	Sit down. ” “ And make myself at home?
hvd.hwjs8i	Something that you will refuse. ” “ That would be hard indeed. ” “ Will you promise not to be angry? ” asked Marion faintly.
hvd.hwjs8i	That I could ever feel as though the stain were wiped out and the disgrace forgotten by such a poor formality as a divorce?
hvd.hwjs8i	That is why you must say it too — for my sake. ” “ For your sake? ” “ Yes, ” she answered.
hvd.hwjs8i	There is no objection to my speaking privately to Mr. Vanbrugh, I suppose? ” he inquired, turning to the officer.
hvd.hwjs8i	This is quite earnest? ” “ Quite — quite — — ” While she was speaking his face was suddenly close to hers and his lips touched her cheek.
hvd.hwjs8i	To have loved really — of course you did — why should you deny it?
hvd.hwjs8i	Vanbrugh?
hvd.hwjs8i	Was it not natural that she should tell me? ” “ I hardly know. ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	Was not that a rash assertion?
hvd.hwjs8i	Well, do you know anything about the tides and currents in the Channel?
hvd.hwjs8i	Well, so you think there is something between them? ” “ My dear, of course there is, ” said Mrs. Wil- loughby without hesitation.
hvd.hwjs8i	What can a woman 9* I 32 MARION DARCHE, do on days like these?
hvd.hwjs8i	What can that possibly have to do with me? ” “ This, ” she said.
hvd.hwjs8i	What did you say the fellow ’s name was? ” “ Why, my dear man, that is three- quarters of the coincidence.
hvd.hwjs8i	What did you say, Marion?
hvd.hwjs8i	What difference does it make if he does not recognise people he only half knows?
hvd.hwjs8i	What do you mean? ” “ You told me some time ago that you were MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	What do you think about all this, Vanbrugh? ” “ The question must be settled one way or the other before to- night, ” answered the last comer.
hvd.hwjs8i	What doggerel is that? ” “ Did you never hear that? ” asked Dolly, laughing.
hvd.hwjs8i	What doggerel is that? ” “ Did you never hear that? ” asked Dolly, laughing.
hvd.hwjs8i	What is right?
hvd.hwjs8i	What is that proverb?
hvd.hwjs8i	What is that? ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	What is the matter? ” He came back a few steps and stood near her.
hvd.hwjs8i	What is the question, child? ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	What is the use of fighting against it, when we love each other so?
hvd.hwjs8i	What legal steps? ” Brett hesitated, asking himself whether he should be justified in telling her what he ex- pected as well as what he knew.
hvd.hwjs8i	What o'clock is it? ” “ Ten minutes to one. ” “ Have you time for another turn before I go in? ” “ Of course — all the time.
hvd.hwjs8i	What o'clock is it? ” “ Ten minutes to one. ” “ Have you time for another turn before I go in? ” “ Of course — all the time.
hvd.hwjs8i	Where is John?
hvd.hwjs8i	Where is John?
hvd.hwjs8i	Where is right now? ” “ Where you are, dear. ” He was holding both her hands in his.
hvd.hwjs8i	Who else? ” Dolly watched Mrs. Willoughby's face.
hvd.hwjs8i	Who in the world sends you such things? ” Mrs. Darche had risen from her seat and had buried her face in the thick blossoms while Dolly held them.
hvd.hwjs8i	Who is he? ” asked Dolly with affected surprise.
hvd.hwjs8i	Why are you angry?
hvd.hwjs8i	Why do you look at me so? ” “ It would not be a drop in the bucket, ” an- swered Brett, still not moving.
hvd.hwjs8i	Why do you use that word? ” The expression had hardly escaped Brett's lips when he realised the extent of his carelessness.
hvd.hwjs8i	Why do you wait?
hvd.hwjs8i	Why not?
hvd.hwjs8i	Why not? ” inquired Vanbrugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	Why should I say it?
hvd.hwjs8i	Why should I? ” “ I daresay you were right.
hvd.hwjs8i	Why should we have any now? ” “ The very reason why there must be one at all is the secret itself.
hvd.hwjs8i	Why?
hvd.hwjs8i	Why? ” She rose suddenly and began to move about the room.
hvd.hwjs8i	Will you do it? ” “ You were right, ” said Brett gravely.
hvd.hwjs8i	Without your name we could not have done it, could we, gentle- men? ” he asked, turning to the detectives as though appealing to them.
hvd.hwjs8i	You are successful, and rich and popular and happy, and lots of things. ” “ Am I? ” asked Vanbrugh rather sadly.
hvd.hwjs8i	You do not believe in fate?
hvd.hwjs8i	You do not believe it? ” Greene was the most sceptical of the party.
hvd.hwjs8i	You may think what I am going to ask touches it. ” “ What is it? ” He sat down beside her and prepared to listen.
hvd.hwjs8i	You used to say that you did. ” “ Did I?
hvd.hwjs8i	You wanted to marry her. ” “ What has that to do with it? ” asked Van- brugh, turning sharply upon him.
hvd.hwjs8i	You — you are very fond of her, are you not? ” She turned her face away as she asked the question.
hvd.hwjs8i	how can I? ” “ You told me that you loved me the other day — will you do it for my sake? ” A change came over Brett's face.
hvd.hwjs8i	how can I? ” “ You told me that you loved me the other day — will you do it for my sake? ” A change came over Brett's face.
hvd.hwjs8i	is that the way news is manufactured? ” inquired Brett, with some contempt.
hvd.hwjs8i	it? ” asked Greene, looking up from his letter again.
hvd.hwjs8i	the driver of the cab, and Michael Curly, and the express man — — ” “ What do all these people want? ” inquired Brett, sternly.
hvd.hwjs8i	then I am good, am I? ” “ Perhaps.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ A cheque? ” She repeated the word and seemed to hesitate.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ About what? ” Vanbrugh looked up quickly over his cup.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ All alone, Dolly? ” asked Mrs. Willoughby, entering the library.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ All?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Am I?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ And how about the big things? ” inquired Brett.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ And is that all you have to tell me after all that I have told you? ” she asked at last, as though in a dream.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ And this is not play any more?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Anything that we can do for you? ” “ I am Mrs. Darche.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Are things growing worse, John? ” at last she asked him.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Are you engaged to marry Mrs. Darche too? ” “ Nonsense! ” ejaculated Brown.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Are you thinking about it? ” she asked, with a smile.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ But then — what can it matter?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ But you play with so many people — — ” “ With whom, for instance? ” asked Vanbrugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Calling me “ sir ’?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Can I be of any use? ” “ Stay with Mrs. Darche. ” “ Shall we go? ” he asked, turning to John.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Can I be of any use? ” “ Stay with Mrs. Darche. ” “ Shall we go? ” he asked, turning to John.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Can you not give me another chance? ” “ What sort of chance? ” replied Vanbrugh, raising his eyebrows.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Can you not give me another chance? ” “ What sort of chance? ” replied Vanbrugh, raising his eyebrows.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Can you not help me? ” she asked earnestly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Could we not go a step farther? ” “ How? ” Dolly started a little and looked at him.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Could we not go a step farther? ” “ How? ” Dolly started a little and looked at him.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Dead is he?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Did you read that book I sent you, Mrs. Darche? ” he asked.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do I look as if I did? ” retorted the young lady.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do I look as though I associated with people who got up at dawn? ” Brett laughed.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do I?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you always do what you like? ” “ In little things. ” I 90 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you know the man? ” “ Evidently a reporter, ” said Brett.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you know what time it is, Marion? ” And not waiting for an answer, Mrs. Willoughby held out her hand.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you mean it? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you mean to say that you would ever let him come back to you? ” “ I mean that I will not be divorced.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you need money, John? ” she asked, look- ing at him anxiously.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you not trust me? ” said Brett, hoping to encourage her.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you often get up at dawn, Miss May- lands? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you really mean it, John? ” she asked at last.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you see now why I have fought so hard against telling you this thing? ” “ It is better so, ” she answered in a low and indistinct tone.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you take milk? ” “ Please, and one lump.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you think it is really true? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you think that I could ever be happy again?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Do you understand me now? ” he asked after a long pause.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Does it need much courage? ” asked Marion, sinking into a chair.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Does it?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Dolly?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Five years. ” “ Is that all? ” asked the younger man almost indignantly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ For you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ For your sake? ” he asked in an altered tone.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Happy? ” repeated Mrs. Darche, a little sur- prised by the sudden question.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Have I?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Have you all been reading this stuff?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Have you seen him? ” asked Bewlay.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ He has come to see you. ” “ Will you be good- natured and forgive my spoiling your tea? ” asked Vanbrugh, as he entered the room.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Here in this house? ” “ Yes—-or at least, under our hand, ” said Vanbrugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ How can I?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ How do you know that? ” asked Mrs. Wil- loughby.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ How much do you want? ” “ A hundred thousand dollars. ” Brett did not answer at once.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ How? ” she asked, looking at John again.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I daresay he would. ” “ He?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I do not understand — I thought — ” “ What did you think? ” “ I do not know what to think. ” She hesitated.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I say, Brett, how much of this did you actually say? ” asked Vanbrugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I say, Marion! ” “ Well. ” “ What are you making such a fuss about? ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I suppose it is all over? ” said Dolly softly, in a tone of interrogation.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I suppose you have seen this? ” “ About Darche?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I suppose you have seen this? ” “ About Darche?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I will not let you ruin yourself for nothing. ” “ Are you really my friend? ” She drew back a little and looked at him earnestly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I wish to be a good friend to her. ” “ And something more? ” suggested Dolly, in a tone of interrogation.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I — I am almost afraid — — ’ “ Afraid of me? ” “ Of you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I — I am almost afraid — — ’ “ Afraid of me? ” “ Of you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ I? ” “ Yes. ” 2 xx » 252 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ If you choose to put it in that way. ” “ And that is what you call being loved? ” “ Yes — being wanted.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is Brett here? ” he asked, looking about.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is Mrs. Darche at home if any one calls, Stubbs? ” she inquired.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is that all? ” asked Mrs. Willoughby with a slight laugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is that all? ” inquired Marion, rather incre- dulously.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is that your friendship? ” she asked reproach- fully.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is there anything I can do for you, John? ” she asked so that he could barely hear her.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Is there anything?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ It is a hard thing to ask. ” “ Will you do it? ” “ It is criminal, ” he answered.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ It is a queer story, is it not? ” observed Goss.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ It is very rude of me, is it not?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ It was not for the sake of anything. ” “ Mere caprice, then? ” asked Marion, watching him closely.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ John, did you never care for me in any other way — in any better way — from the heart?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Kind? ” repeated the young man, almost indignantly, and stopping in his walk as he spoke.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Legal steps?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ May I ask one question? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ May I inquire, Mr. Brett, if you yourself take a part in the entertainment? ” MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Meaning me? ” “ If you like. ” “ If I like! ” exclaimed Brett.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Miss Maylands as Queen Mary Stuart?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ No, to keep him from coming. ” “ And you have come to warn Marion? ” in- quired Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Not recognise you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Of all people in the world, dear? ” “ Yes — I think so — of all people. ” She MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Of whom, then? ” asked Vanbrugh.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh! ” he exclaimed, “ is that what you are driving at?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh, Marion, what is it?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh, are you here, Miss Maylands? ” he in- quired, discontentedly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh, ca n't you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh, confound it all, Brown, how can you say such a thing? ” exclaimed Brett.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh, nonsense, Dolly! ” “ Are you happy, Marion? ” asked Dolly, sud- denly growing very grave.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Oh, why do you suggest such a possibility — of what use is it?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Perhaps; how do you know that? ” “ She told me so, ever so long ago. ” “ She told you so? ” Vanbrugh's tone betrayed his annoyance.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Perhaps; how do you know that? ” “ She told me so, ever so long ago. ” “ She told you so? ” Vanbrugh's tone betrayed his annoyance.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Say it in American, will you not? ” “ You love Brett, and you are nice to Mrs. Marton Darche, 13 I Q4 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Something more? ” repeated Vanbrugh, “ I do not understand. ” “ O nothing!
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Stop that, wo n't you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ The name of the person to whom I give it? ” she asked at last, and she seemed to avoid his glance.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Then why do you do it? ” “ Why do we do it?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Then why do you do it? ” “ Why do we do it?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ They will be here in a few minutes. ” “ Shall you be present? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ They would make a handsome couple, would they not?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Think so?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ To care for some particular person — is that rude, or indiscreet, or horrid of me? ” “ Very!
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Two negatives make a positive, sometimes. ” “ A positive ‘ no ’? ” asked Vanbrugh, in- credulously.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Very well, then, will you take me, Mr. Wan- brugh?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Well?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Well? ” “ I can not answer your questions, ” Dolly an- swered at last, looking into his eyes.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What about him? ” “ I do not mean to be rude, nor inquisitive, nor- MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What consequences?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What did the doctors say? ” “ Oh, nothing at all.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What good can it do? ” “ You are always wanting to do good!
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What have you been doing this morning? ” asked Mrs. Darche, turning to him.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is it, my dear? ” “ One lump or two? ” inquired Dolly with hesitation.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is it, my dear? ” “ One lump or two? ” inquired Dolly with hesitation.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is it? ” asked Darche, when they were alone.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is it? ” he asked, almost before he had shaken hands.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is it? ” she asked under her breath.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is that? ” she asked.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is the matter? ” asked Marion, severely.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is this disturbance, Brown? ” asked Brett angrily.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What is this particular disagreeable thing you have given me to eat? ” inquired John, look- ing at his wife.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What were you going to say? ” he asked, struggling desperately to remember what she had said already.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What, child? ” “ Your life.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What, what?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ What? ” asked Brett, who hardly seemed to be listening to her.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ When you know that you could have a divorce for the asking? ” “ Which I would refuse if it were thrust upon me, ” she answered firmly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Whether it was natural or not? ” “ No, I was wondering whether you would still believe it. ”- “ Why should I? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Whether it was natural or not? ” “ No, I was wondering whether you would still believe it. ”- “ Why should I? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Who would not do as much if he could? ” “ Lots of people. ” “ Not of her friends — not of those who know her.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why Vanbrugh, of all people? ” he asked.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why can you not sit down comfortably? ” asked Mr. Darche, with a show of temper.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why not you?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why not? ” inquired Mr. Darche with start- ling directness.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why of course? ” “ Oh, because — ” “ Why not Harry Brett? ” asked Dolly, with the merciless insistence peculiar to very young people.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why of course? ” “ Oh, because — ” “ Why not Harry Brett? ” asked Dolly, with the merciless insistence peculiar to very young people.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why should I tell you what I am to do with it? ” she asked.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Why should there be?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will it help you at all? ” I O2 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will you do it for me? ” I 52 MARION DARCHE.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will you do it? ” “ For God's sake, give me time to think! ” He passed his hand over his eyes.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will you help my husband to escape? ” asked Marion in a whisper.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will you not let me help you to decide? ” For the first time in their acquaintance, Vanbrugh's voice grew tender.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will you not let me make you a nice cup of tea, Mr. Vanbrugh? ” “ No, thanks. ” “ Will you not light a cigarette? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Will you not let me make you a nice cup of tea, Mr. Vanbrugh? ” “ No, thanks. ” “ Will you not light a cigarette? ” asked Dolly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ With Mrs. Darche? ” Vanbrugh's voice ex- pressed genuine astonishment.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Worse?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Yes — that is the other answer. ” “ Do two positives make a negative? ” asked Vanbrugh, as their hands met.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Yes, do you want to ask me something? ” “ Yes, something that is very hard to ask.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Yes, why not?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Yes, yes — what did you say?
hvd.hwjs8i	“ You ask on general — general principles? ” she inquired presently, with a rather nervous smile.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ You did not mean me to go away with the crowd, did you? ” asked Brett, as the door closed behind Mr. Brown.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ You seem to forget that I am married. ” “ Do you not forget it sometimes? ” asked Dolly, laughing, but with less genuine mirth.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ You think so — you are not quite sure? ” asked Vanbrugh, although there was no longer any doubt.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ You were in love with her once? ” she said quietly.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ You will wait until I come back, will you not? ” “ Of course, ” replied Vanbrugh, as she left the room.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Your dress will be complete now with the lace, will it not, Dolly? ” “ Oh yes, ” answered Dolly in a careless tone.
hvd.hwjs8i	“ Your friend?
mdp.39015011950766	Ah,he said,"is it you, Mr. Woodlas?
mdp.39015011950766	Ah,she said, smiling,"it is you, Seflor?
mdp.39015011950766	But how in Heaven's name, Sidney, are we going to get the other five thousand? mdp.39015011950766 But,"said Harris, anxiously,"wo n't they take me down there?
mdp.39015011950766	Did n't the lawyer feller do nuthin at all, Dunk?
mdp.39015011950766	Do n't we need the trust fund doubled?
mdp.39015011950766	Do you know anything about this?
mdp.39015011950766	Have n't I broken through all the traps and plots that she could set?
mdp.39015011950766	Have you a middle name, sir?
mdp.39015011950766	Have you considered it?
mdp.39015011950766	Have you given me all the details?
mdp.39015011950766	How do you wish to deposit this money, gentle- men?
mdp.39015011950766	How?
mdp.39015011950766	I do n't know, hardly,said the shipper, turn- ing to his companion;"what do you think about it, Billy?"
mdp.39015011950766	I see,said the commission merchant;"but how is this loss to be shifted on any one?
mdp.39015011950766	Is n't that enough, man? mdp.39015011950766 Is that all?"
mdp.39015011950766	Is there any large fund,continued Mason,"in the hands of the officers of your county?"
mdp.39015011950766	Is there anything wrong with it?
mdp.39015011950766	Old tricks,said the little fat man, growing pale,"what in Heaven's name is wrong with him?
mdp.39015011950766	On what ground?
mdp.39015011950766	She? mdp.39015011950766 Sir,"he said to the man Barker,"are you wanted in New York?"
mdp.39015011950766	Sir,he said,"what in Heaven's name are you trying to do?"
mdp.39015011950766	Sir,said Mason, when the Virginian had seated himself,"which do you seek to evade, punishment or dishonor?"
mdp.39015011950766	Sir,said the New Yorker,"have you received a sealed package from the Adams Express Com- pany consigned to one Camden Gerard?"
mdp.39015011950766	T AM tired of your devilish hints, why ca n't 1 you come out with it, man?
mdp.39015011950766	Trouble,echoed Mason,"is it any new thing to meet?
mdp.39015011950766	Trow on de light, Barker,said the old man at the table;"what is de use of gropin*?"
mdp.39015011950766	Well, Judge,said Haines,"have you flipped the penny on it, and if so, who wins?"
mdp.39015011950766	Well,he said, lowering his voice,"are we going to try the other end of it?"
mdp.39015011950766	Well,said the jeweller, as he arose and put on his overcoat,"what is the good of the law anyhow?"
mdp.39015011950766	What did Mr. Mason think of your method of securing clients?
mdp.39015011950766	What do you mean by this?
mdp.39015011950766	What do you mean?
mdp.39015011950766	What do you think?
mdp.39015011950766	What do you want, then?
mdp.39015011950766	What does this mean, Parks?
mdp.39015011950766	What fool says I am wrong?
mdp.39015011950766	What is the use? mdp.39015011950766 What is the use?"
mdp.39015011950766	What is up, Billy?
mdp.39015011950766	What is wrong here, Carper?
mdp.39015011950766	When did you come into it? mdp.39015011950766 When was the building erected?"
mdp.39015011950766	When was this check cashed?
mdp.39015011950766	Who should know better than I?
mdp.39015011950766	Whom else did you ex- pect?
mdp.39015011950766	Why not?
mdp.39015011950766	Why should I do that?
mdp.39015011950766	Will you be quiet?
mdp.39015011950766	Would I be here in the office at two o'clock in the morning, with a detective and without a rea- son? mdp.39015011950766 Wrong?"
mdp.39015011950766	Yes; you mean the old ghost with the thin, melancholy face?
mdp.39015011950766	You have not?
mdp.39015011950766	You,said Mason to the old man,"what is your name?"
mdp.39015011950766	Your enemy?
mdp.39015011950766	r^ARKS,said Randolph Mason,"has Leslie 1 Wilder a country place on the Hudson?"
mdp.39015011950766	to what difficulty am I indebted for this honor?
mdp.39015011950766	77 vice?"
mdp.39015011950766	And how?
mdp.39015011950766	And then, if they would listen to explanation, what explanation was there to make?
mdp.39015011950766	Are not the bloody knife, the bloody dress, the bloody clothes of the prisoner, unimpeachable witnesses to the criminal act?
mdp.39015011950766	Are you ready to bear the brunt of this battle?"
mdp.39015011950766	But suppose I had rather concluded to break with your driver at the station?
mdp.39015011950766	Ca n't I have him arrested, sir?"
mdp.39015011950766	Can you piece out with that?"
mdp.39015011950766	Come with me to the cabin and I will show you how it may be wrested from the owners and no crime committed; do you under- stand me, Parks?
mdp.39015011950766	Did n't you know about it?
mdp.39015011950766	Did not the cursed thing go into the hands of a receiver the very moment we had gotten the stock cornered?
mdp.39015011950766	Did not the tools stick in both test wells within fifty feet of the sand, and all the saints could not remove them?
mdp.39015011950766	Do n't you remember how it helped Barton Woodlas rob our father in that shoe trust at Lynn?
mdp.39015011950766	Do you hear me?
mdp.39015011950766	Do you hear me?
mdp.39015011950766	Does any one doubt it in this case?
mdp.39015011950766	Had he not been selected by the great firm of Bartholdi& Banks to counsel with one who, he strongly suspected, was the private agent of princes?
mdp.39015011950766	He turned slowly to the cashier:"What became of that money?"
mdp.39015011950766	How could the dead masters lay down rules by which you could be beaten, sir?
mdp.39015011950766	How could we buy a house?"
mdp.39015011950766	How in God's name did you know it?
mdp.39015011950766	How in Satan's name do you figure it out?"
mdp.39015011950766	How much money have you?"
mdp.39015011950766	How your enemy?"
mdp.39015011950766	Is that enough?"
mdp.39015011950766	It is now near twelve; you will come with me to lunch at the club?"
mdp.39015011950766	Now, do you understand me?"
mdp.39015011950766	She trap you?"
mdp.39015011950766	Then he looked up, and said,"Brother, do you remember the little bald- headed man who stopped us on the steps of the Stock Exchange last week?"
mdp.39015011950766	Was he simply making shrewd guesses, or had he some mysterious knowledge of this matter?
mdp.39015011950766	What am I to do?"
mdp.39015011950766	What are you doing out here?"
mdp.39015011950766	What authori- ties were cited?"
mdp.39015011950766	What could the highwayman possibly mean by this queer move?
mdp.39015011950766	What did this strange man know?
mdp.39015011950766	What does the responsibility matter, provided the burden of loss can be placed upon other shoulders?
mdp.39015011950766	What's up?"
mdp.39015011950766	When did he come back to the States?"
mdp.39015011950766	Where in Heaven's name, man,'said the old Admiral, thunderstruck,'did you learn that mas- terpiece?'
mdp.39015011950766	Which is gone, your girl or your job?"
mdp.39015011950766	Why do you come back with your petty matters?"
mdp.39015011950766	Why not turn this idea of Mr. Mason to account?
mdp.39015011950766	Wo n't the Governor turn me over to them?"
mdp.39015011950766	You will see to it, Chief?"
mdp.39015011950766	cried Mason, turning upon him,"you dared to change my plans?"
mdp.39015011950766	he said,"the gentleman bases his motion on a failure to establish the corpus delicti 1 Does he jest, or has he forgotten the evidence?
mdp.39015011950766	other thing could he do?
mdp.39015011950766	said the Police Chief, wearily,"is there no way to get at him, ca n't we railroad him before a jury?"
mdp.39015011950766	shouted Woodlas,"what security have I but the mortgage?
mdp.39015011950766	wailed the little fat man,"is there no law to keep me from being ruined?

hvd.hwxydd	Have you Hindustani? ” “ No. ” “ Where were you initiated? ” “ At Moon Ali Lane."
hvd.hwxydd	Have you Hindustani? ” “ No. ” “ Where were you initiated? ” “ At Moon Ali Lane."
hvd.hwxydd	Have you any idea where he went when he left this house yesterday? ” “ Yes, yes.
hvd.hwxydd	Have you met this gen- tleman?"
hvd.hwxydd	He asked you that so long as two weeks ago? ” “ He did."
hvd.hwxydd	He drew his pipe from between his teeth, and: “ Yes, what do you want with me? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	He has n't been picking pockets or anything, has he?"
hvd.hwxydd	He has not reported to me so far to- night. ”"You mean that he may be following him? ” cried Wessex.
hvd.hwxydd	He is a valet to a gentleman who lives in the country. ” “ How do you know? ” “ He told me."
hvd.hwxydd	He said he would be at the Yard until six. ”"Has he obtained any information? ” asked Paul Harley, wearily, glancing at his little table clock.
hvd.hwxydd	Here in England I can no longer respect the accomplice of assassins. ” “ Assassins?
hvd.hwxydd	His excellency moves, then, in diplomatic circles?
hvd.hwxydd	How can I help? ” Harley stood up, facing Mr. Brinn.
hvd.hwxydd	How is it that I find you here? ” Stokes thrust his hands in his pockets and coughed uneasily.
hvd.hwxydd	Howett?"
hvd.hwxydd	I do not conceal from you, Miss Abing- don, that he is danger. ” “ In danger?"
hvd.hwxydd	I have been wondering ever since Doctor McMurdoch told me. ” “ You recognize the person to whom Sir Charles referred? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxydd	I know that Dad had met him and was very much interested in him. ” “ In what way? ”"I have no idea.
hvd.hwxydd	I met him at Lady Vail's. ”"Lady Vail's?
hvd.hwxydd	I – I ca n't tell you his name ” “ You mean you wo n't?"
hvd.hwxydd	In Bombay? ”"In Bombay."
hvd.hwxydd	In such a case and in such circumstances what do we look for? ” Innes shook his head.
hvd.hwxydd	In the first place, then, where were you going when I came here? ” “ To meet my boy at Vauxhall Station."
hvd.hwxydd	In the first place, would Mr. Har- ley have asked you to visit him at my home, if he had not been well assured that you could do so with propriety?
hvd.hwxydd	In the second place, should I, who re- spect you more deeply than any woman in the world, consent to your coming unchaperoned?
hvd.hwxydd	In which direc- tion should he move and to what end?
hvd.hwxydd	Is n't it plain enough, Innes?
hvd.hwxydd	Is that what your message means? ” “ My message means that because of- the thing you know about- I am suspected of the murder."
hvd.hwxydd	Just after a gentle- man had called here to see her. ” “ Someone from the police?"
hvd.hwxydd	Lay the table, sir, for dinner? ” “ For dinner- exactly.
hvd.hwxydd	May I ask you to recount that exa perience? ”"Mr. Harley, ” replied Brinn, suddenly standing up, “ I ca n't. ” “ You ca n't?"
hvd.hwxydd	May I ask you to recount that exa perience? ”"Mr. Harley, ” replied Brinn, suddenly standing up, “ I ca n't. ” “ You ca n't?"
hvd.hwxydd	May I count upon you to advise me of Miss Abingdon's return?
hvd.hwxydd	May not we find here an explanation, too, of this idea of his that some danger overhung Phil?
hvd.hwxydd	Miss Abingdon is out, I pre- sume? ” “ Yes, sir, ” replied Benson, sadly.
hvd.hwxydd	My assistant, Stokes, has distinguished himself. ”"In what way? ” asked Innes, dully, dropping back into his chair.
hvd.hwxydd	My father did not know him. ” “ Then I wonder why he mentioned him?"
hvd.hwxydd	NICOL BRINN GOES OUT 169"Are you satisfied, Detective Sergeant? ”"I am! ” Stokes spoke angrily.
hvd.hwxydd	Now, do you understand?
hvd.hwxydd	On the THE CATASTROPHE 261 “ And that is?
hvd.hwxydd	Paul Harley? ” “ Yes? ” “ Your last opportunity has come.
hvd.hwxydd	Paul Harley? ” “ Yes? ” “ Your last opportunity has come.
hvd.hwxydd	Paul Harley?"
hvd.hwxydd	Remain here until I'phone- whatever the hour. ” “ Shall I advise Wessex to stand by? ” Harley nodded.
hvd.hwxydd	She came out almost immediately after Stokes had gone up?"
hvd.hwxydd	She looked up at him, smiling pathetically: “ Do n't you think it was awfully kind of him?"
hvd.hwxydd	Something happened to me seven years ago"“ In India? ” “ In India.
hvd.hwxydd	Stokes, like an idiot, allowed 187 188 FIRE- TONGUE her to slip through his fingers and tried to arrest Brinn! ” “ What?
hvd.hwxydd	Surely you do n't suspect foul play?
hvd.hwxydd	Tell me: what was stolen? ” “ Nothing of the slightest value, Mr. Harley, to any one but myself- or so I should have supposed."
hvd.hwxydd	Thank goodness, she goes to- morrow, though. ” “ You do n't refer to Miss Phil? ” said Harley, intentionally misunderstanding.
hvd.hwxydd	The cloud?
hvd.hwxydd	The first is this: What is the name of the'well- known'man to whom you refer?
hvd.hwxydd	There is a matter of vital urgency, however, in which you can assist him. ” “ I? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hwxydd	USIS THE VEIL IS RAISED 129 “ You did this?"
hvd.hwxydd	Until then, wo n't you believe that I am acting for the best? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	Was it possible that she had been to visit Ormûz Khân?
hvd.hwxydd	Was this a delusion?
hvd.hwxydd	What did he intend to do?
hvd.hwxydd	What did he take? ” “ He took nothing."
hvd.hwxydd	What did he tell you to do with this serviette? ”"It — was in a box.
hvd.hwxydd	What do we know about Fire- Tongue?
hvd.hwxydd	What do you want me to do? ” NAIDA 161"I want you to release me from that vow made seven years ago. ” Naida uttered a stifled cry.
hvd.hwxydd	What does it mean? ” He ceased speaking abruptly, and stood with his elbow resting on a corner of the mantelpiece.
hvd.hwxydd	What else?
hvd.hwxydd	What harm was there? ” “ Harm enough! ” said Harley, grimly.
hvd.hwxydd	What is his name? ” “ My God! ” whispered the girl, and her face blanched swiftly.
hvd.hwxydd	What is your grade?"
hvd.hwxydd	What is your name? ”"Parker, sir.
hvd.hwxydd	What use is it, all this?
hvd.hwxydd	What was the origin of his fear?
hvd.hwxydd	What was this cloud, whence did it emanate, and by whom had it been called into being?
hvd.hwxydd	What's he done?"
hvd.hwxydd	What, is this something new? ” “ With a man's religion, however bloodthirsty it may be, I do n't quarrel so long as he sincerely be- lieves in it.
hvd.hwxydd	When could poison have been administered and by whom? ” “ When, indeed? ” murmured Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	When could poison have been administered and by whom? ” “ When, indeed? ” murmured Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	When did he die?"
hvd.hwxydd	When? ” “ Yesterday. ” “ That he was coming here? ” “ He did. ” Nicol Brinn sat down again upon the settee.
hvd.hwxydd	When? ” “ Yesterday. ” “ That he was coming here? ” “ He did. ” Nicol Brinn sat down again upon the settee.
hvd.hwxydd	Who knows?
hvd.hwxydd	Why should I offer them to one of your acute perceptions?
hvd.hwxydd	Why should any one want to harm Charley Abingdon?
hvd.hwxydd	Why? ” Nicol Brinn glanced rapidly about his own luxuri- ous room in an oddly apprehensive manner.
hvd.hwxydd	Will you ask him to come in, please? ” A few moments later Ormûz Khân entered.
hvd.hwxydd	Would you please inquire if Detective Inspector Wessex has gone? ” While awaiting a reply he looked up at Innes.
hvd.hwxydd	Yet she was not wholly immune from it, for: “ Does Your Excellency really mean that?"
hvd.hwxydd	You did n't chance to notice, I suppose, whether he had a temperature? ”"I did not, ” replied Harley, smiling slightly.
hvd.hwxydd	You do n't think I was in any way concerned in the death of Sir Charles Abingdon?
hvd.hwxydd	You understand me? ”"I understand absolutely,'replied Nicol Brinn.
hvd.hwxydd	You understand, Innes, I am engaged and not to be disturbed on any account?"
hvd.hwxydd	You? ” “ Yes, I, I!
hvd.hwxydd	you really think you have a clue at last?"
hvd.hwxydd	· Directly he goes, do n't fail to do what I told you'. ” “ And then? ” “ Another'phone call came for Sir Charles.
hvd.hwxydd	“ A dark fellow, foreign. ” “ French German?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ A paper. ” “ You mean that you stole Sir Charles's keys and opened his bureau? ” “ There was no stealing.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Alone?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Am I to under- stand that you claim to belong to the Seventh Kama? ” “ Certainly, ” replied Brinn in a toneless voice.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Am I to understand that Ormũz Khân is a Persian? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ And Mr. Nicol Brinn?
hvd.hwxydd	“ And now- what was it that'Sidney'stole from Sir Charles's bureau in the study? ” The girl started and bit her lip convulsively.
hvd.hwxydd	“ And then not again until to- day? ” “ No. ” “ Does he live in London? ” “ No.
hvd.hwxydd	“ And then not again until to- day? ” “ No. ” “ Does he live in London? ” “ No.
hvd.hwxydd	“ And then?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ And what is your impression of this follower? ” A CLIENT FOR PAUL HARLEY 7> “ A very hazy one.
hvd.hwxydd	“ And what reason did he give for his inquiry? ” Nicol Brinn began to tap the fender again with his foot.
hvd.hwxydd	“ And when he came last night she went away with him?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ And where did she go? ” asked Innes.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Are you quite sure that you want to go? ” Phil Abingdon nodded pathetically.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Are you sure? ” “ Quite sure. ” “ Do you know any one of that name? ” “ No, sir. ” “ And is this positively all you remember?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Are you sure? ” “ Quite sure. ” “ Do you know any one of that name? ” “ No, sir. ” “ And is this positively all you remember?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Are you sure? ” “ Quite sure. ” “ Do you know any one of that name? ” “ No, sir. ” “ And is this positively all you remember?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Been kicked out, gov'nor? ” the youth inquired.
hvd.hwxydd	“ But many things which are typically of the Orient would probably disillusion you, Miss Abingdon. ”"In what way?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ But the link with what, Mr. Wessex? ” asked Phil Abingdon.
hvd.hwxydd	“ But wo n't you tell me something more before you go? ” said the girl, beseechingly.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Can you give me any idea where this man Sidney came from? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Can you think of any reason why Sir Charles should have worried about this gentleman? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ City 400,"he said.... “ Is that the Commissioner's Office, New Scotland Yard?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Could you direct me to the house of his excellency Ormuz Khân? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Could you swear to it before a jury? ” “ You seem to doubt my word. ” Detective Inspector Wessex stood up.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Dare I venture,"he said in his musical voice, bending deeply over her extended hand, “ to ask you to accept these flowers?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Did the maid, Jones, handle any of these? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Did you follow, Wessex? ” he said.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Do you know what you have done to- night, Mr. Harley? ” “ THE GATES OF HELL ” 49 Paul Harley shook his head.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Do you still think I am beautiful? ” NAIDA 157 Her accent was quaint and fascinating, but her voice was very musical.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Do you think he had meant to drug you? ” “ Maybe,"replied Sir Charles.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Do you want to break my heart? ” He suddenly released her, clenched his big hands, and stared down at the carpet.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Every- thing coloured you see, shoot, unless I say no. ” “ Miss Abingdon? ” “ She's safe.
hvd.hwxydd	“ For God's sake, when did you hear that word? ” “ I heard it, ” replied Harley, slowly,"to- night."
hvd.hwxydd	“ Gone?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Have blackberries been served within the week, Mrs. Howett? ” “ We never had them on the table, Mr. Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ He gave no reason for his refusal? ” “ Oh, there was no refusal, Mr. Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ He is my guest, ” continued Ormûz Khân, “ my honoured guest. ” “ He is with you? ” exclaimed Phil, almost in- credulously.
hvd.hwxydd	“ He told him that?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Hello! ” “ Yes, ” came the voice of the operator—“what number? ” “ City 8951.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Hello, is that you, Mason? ” he said.
hvd.hwxydd	“ How is it I never noticed those stains, and what can have caused them? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ How is it possible?
hvd.hwxydd	“ How long has she known this man? ” “ Only a month or so, but she is crazy about him."
hvd.hwxydd	“ I am almost afraid to ask you, ” she said in a low voice,"but- if you hear anything, will you ring me up?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ I am informed, ” said he, abruptly, “ that Miss Abingdon is out of town? ” Doctor McMurdoch nodded in his slow, gloomy fashion.
hvd.hwxydd	“ I had never seen him before and I have never seen him since. ” “ Sure?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ I said frightened, I also said puzzled; and I am far awaited Wit feel called murdered?
hvd.hwxydd	“ In India?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Indian? ” snapped Wessex.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is Mrs. Howett in? ” “ She is, sir. ”"I shall be around in about a quarter of an hour, Benson.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is his excellency at home? ” asked the latter.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is it possible for me to remain silent while men are mur- dered here in a civilized country?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is n't it beautiful? ”"It's wonderful, ” said the girl, moving forward and drawing Harley along with her.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is that Benson? ” “ Yes, sir, ” answered the butler.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is that the extent of your information, Wessex? ” “ That's it, ” replied Wessex, with a laugh.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is there anything else? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Is there such a bank? ” she asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ It is this: What do you know of'Fire- Tongue'?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ It was not Ormûz Khân? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Just a moment, sir? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ May I ask you to bring the actual linen used at table on that occasion, Mrs. Howett? ” he said.
hvd.hwxydd	“ May I ask you to go and enquire?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Nicol Brinn?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ No wine? ” “ Wine was on the table but none had been poured out.
hvd.hwxydd	“ On my oath, it is. ” “ How often have you seen Sidney since your dis- missal? ” “ I saw him on the morning I left."
hvd.hwxydd	“ Perhaps you also disapprove of his excellency's kindness? ” she said, indignantly.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Rang you up?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Shall I await your return or do you expect to be detained? ” But Phil Abingdon had her own views on the matter.
hvd.hwxydd	“ She had arrived in a cab, which was waiting, and I learned from the man that he had picked her up at Victoria Station. ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ So soon?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Surely he should have returned by now? ” Ormûz Khân shrugged his slight shoulders and glanced at a diamond- studded wrist watch which he wore.
hvd.hwxydd	“ That is the osteolo- gist?
hvd.hwxydd	“ That you, Innes? ” said Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ The doctor has already told me of “ You know why I ask? ” She inclined her head.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Then where is she? ”"I could n't say.
hvd.hwxydd	“ This Or- mûz Khân, I understood you to say, actually re- sides in or near London? ”"He is at present living at the Savoy, I believe.
hvd.hwxydd	“ This is not the same table linen? ” he asked, suddenly.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Upon a technical subject? ” “ Scarcely a technical subject, Mr. Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Was Sir Charles a friend of Mr. Nicol Brinn? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Was it Brown? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Was it Brunn? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What can I do?
hvd.hwxydd	“ What do we do now? ” asked Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What do you mean by Indian?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ What happened? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What is his name? ” “ I'm not going to tell you.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What is it all about?-what does it all mean? ” “ The link with Mr. Paul Harley, ” replied Wessex.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What is it? ” inquired Nicol Brinn, and pro- ceeded to light his cigar.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What is the name of the place? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Once again — what is the name of the place?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ What is the name of the place? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Once again — what is the name of the place?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ What leads you to suppose that he is not? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What time last night? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What was that? ” asked Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ What? ”.
hvd.hwxydd	“ When, and by whom, may I ask? ” “ By Râhmâni, November 23, 1913."
hvd.hwxydd	“ When? ” “ The afternoon"“ Before Sir Charles's death?
hvd.hwxydd	“ When? ” “ The afternoon"“ Before Sir Charles's death?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Where do you want to go to? ” he inquired, open- ing the door.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Where have I heard that name? ” “ He visits England periodically, I believe.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Who were the other two, lad? ” “ The girl wot comes to do his nails.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Why do you per- sistently treat me like a child?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ Why do you say so? ” asked Nicol Brinn, rapidly.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Why should the sahib pay a thousand pounds?'
hvd.hwxydd	“ Will you come and see me? ” He promised to do so.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Will you place your foot upon this sheet of paper, sir? ” Ormûz Khân raised his right foot listlessly.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Will you smoke? ” “ Thanks, no,"was the answer.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Yes, you are right. ” “ Does this suggest a train of thought? ” prompted Harley.
hvd.hwxydd	“ Yes? ” he said.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You are quite fixed upon detaining me? ” “ Quite, ” said Stokes, watching him closely.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You do n't want me to believe there are English members? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You heard me?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ You mean a native of India? ” “ Yes, I should think so.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You mean that you are more or less constantly followed? ”"I do."
hvd.hwxydd	“ You mean the American millionaire?
hvd.hwxydd	“ You saw or heard nothing on your way across the square to suggest that any one having designs on your safety was watching you? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You think he was murdered? ” said Brinn in his high, toneless voice.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You took what?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ You wish to speak to Scotland Yard? ”"I do, ” said Stokes, grimly.
hvd.hwxydd	“ You're the third this morning. ” “ Is that so?"
hvd.hwxydd	“ You?
hvd.hwxydd	“ Your father did not appear anxious to bring Mr. Brinn to his home? ” he asked, eagerly.
hvd.hwxydd	• You remember, Benson? ” Benson inclined his head.
hvd.32044086835816	'Agree in what?' hvd.32044086835816 'And you have travelled far,'I said,'for the little boy who spoke to me is an Egyptian, I think?'
hvd.32044086835816	'Do you think so — would he have the patience to visit an old woman?' hvd.32044086835816 'Then you are not going to Dieppe?'
hvd.32044086835816	'Then you saw him after all, madame?' hvd.32044086835816 'To your house, madame?
hvd.32044086835816	'Your servant, madame?' hvd.32044086835816 Ah — and you feel indisposed to make me your confidant?"
hvd.32044086835816	Ah, I like your interest; but why'we'?
hvd.32044086835816	Ah, then Lady Anna was going to visit her dress- maker?
hvd.32044086835816	Ah, then, you have reason to believe"That some one has visited the house before me? hvd.32044086835816 Ah, you think that?
hvd.32044086835816	Am I not to share this interest?
hvd.32044086835816	Am I to suppose that they will take him to London by force?
hvd.32044086835816	Am I to understand that this saintly person will let poor Ferman die if he is not paid five thousand pounds?
hvd.32044086835816	And a very nice, well- dressed ham you are — do you recognise those bottles, my boy?
hvd.32044086835816	And about thirty years of age, Paul?
hvd.32044086835816	And after him?
hvd.32044086835816	And attach no importance to her evidence?
hvd.32044086835816	And being convinced that it was she — what then?
hvd.32044086835816	And consequently she spoke to you often about him?
hvd.32044086835816	And do you agree with them?
hvd.32044086835816	And do you say that this chain belonged to the heart of green jade?
hvd.32044086835816	And feel confident that he will discover for me this very mysterious Egyptian Pasha, upon whose ex- istence an honest man's fate may depend?
hvd.32044086835816	And he went at once?
hvd.32044086835816	And her occupation?
hvd.32044086835816	And if I do — the message?
hvd.32044086835816	And if it does so, your Highness believes that the whole story will be told?
hvd.32044086835816	And if it should disappoint you, mademoiselle, what then?
hvd.32044086835816	And if we had?
hvd.32044086835816	And in the same proportions?
hvd.32044086835816	And it remained on — this light over the table?
hvd.32044086835816	And madame, his wife?
hvd.32044086835816	And nothing was found?
hvd.32044086835816	And now?
hvd.32044086835816	And one worthy of sacrifice?
hvd.32044086835816	And our friend the count — what does he say?
hvd.32044086835816	And remarked no one near you?
hvd.32044086835816	And she had none then?
hvd.32044086835816	And she left no other address?
hvd.32044086835816	And that I must go away again immediately?
hvd.32044086835816	And that she had many friends?
hvd.32044086835816	And that she would never speak of it?
hvd.32044086835816	And that was the last time you heard of him?
hvd.32044086835816	And the Home Office will make its report imme- diately?
hvd.32044086835816	And the consequences?
hvd.32044086835816	And the man who bought the fidelity which was mine — your employer who bade you spy upon me for money, what of him, Arthur Blandy?
hvd.32044086835816	And the name of this interesting person?
hvd.32044086835816	And their evidence is false?
hvd.32044086835816	And upon the Tuesday, the day before her death?
hvd.32044086835816	And what about me?
hvd.32044086835816	And what is the particular we have overlooked?
hvd.32044086835816	And what makes you think that, Blandy?
hvd.32044086835816	And what next?
hvd.32044086835816	And what then?
hvd.32044086835816	And when you got there?
hvd.32044086835816	And where is this pretty traitor now?
hvd.32044086835816	And who knows,he added,"that Jack Ferman will not condescend to be of the party, Kitty?"
hvd.32044086835816	And without enemies?
hvd.32044086835816	And you are ready to swear that she had none of this medicine on the day of the murder?
hvd.32044086835816	And you attach no importance to its absence?
hvd.32044086835816	And you did not buy any note- paper?
hvd.32044086835816	And you did not go up to see who was there?
hvd.32044086835816	And you enjoyed her confidence?
hvd.32044086835816	And you have seen my sister?
hvd.32044086835816	And you have subjected them to analysis?
hvd.32044086835816	And you know nothing of his private affairs — of his wife or children?
hvd.32044086835816	And you propose to live here in the future?
hvd.32044086835816	And you remain a friend of the medical profes- sion?
hvd.32044086835816	And you repeat that when you entered your mis- tress's bedroom — but what time was that?
hvd.32044086835816	And you told him so?
hvd.32044086835816	And you were most desirous of making her com- fortable?
hvd.32044086835816	And you will not tell me?
hvd.32044086835816	And you, mademoiselle?
hvd.32044086835816	Are the village shops open for the sale of note- paper at ten o'clock?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you able to give any explanation of her con- dition?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you able to say if she was alone in the rooms?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you able to tell the jury a single word he said?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you aware that the nine minutes past ten train only runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you aware what remedies she took for them?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you quite sure of this, my girl? hvd.32044086835816 Are you telling me that she has been spied upon, Paul?"
hvd.32044086835816	At what time was this discovery made?
hvd.32044086835816	Ay, mate, and who be you?
hvd.32044086835816	Because of his English sympathies — is that why he is in danger?
hvd.32044086835816	Being then in an ordinary state of health?
hvd.32044086835816	But he spoke about the wind?
hvd.32044086835816	But how were you to prove it?
hvd.32044086835816	But is he not the best and the dearest of your friends?
hvd.32044086835816	But not on the day of her death?
hvd.32044086835816	But now?
hvd.32044086835816	But she knows of Stella's absence?
hvd.32044086835816	But surely there are no secrets at such an hour as this?
hvd.32044086835816	But this French gentleman — did not you tell me that you were alone in Dieppe?
hvd.32044086835816	But will you know her address, prince?
hvd.32044086835816	But you do not imagine?
hvd.32044086835816	But you had an interpreter?
hvd.32044086835816	But you had some other country than England in your mind when you came to this lonely house, Blandy?
hvd.32044086835816	But you heard his steps distinctly?
hvd.32044086835816	But you, yourself, saw no one with her?
hvd.32044086835816	But, Berthe, what charge do they bring against you?
hvd.32044086835816	But, now that it is put to you, you do see it?
hvd.32044086835816	But,interjected his lordship,"you say that the child obtained possession of it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can any one doubt when a woman loves?
hvd.32044086835816	Can we be sure of love or enmity?
hvd.32044086835816	Can you describe him to me?
hvd.32044086835816	Can you remember any particular occasion?
hvd.32044086835816	Can you remember the nature of the superstition?
hvd.32044086835816	Can you tell the jury his name?
hvd.32044086835816	Come, come, my friend, why should it be that? hvd.32044086835816 Comment, mademoiselle, you laugh?"
hvd.32044086835816	Could not have done — what does that mean?
hvd.32044086835816	Could there be any possible connection between this trinket which is missing and the crime you believe to have been committed?
hvd.32044086835816	Could you tell the Court if she enjoyed good health during that time?
hvd.32044086835816	Could you tell the Court when this poor lady last sent to Paris for any of this Seronal?
hvd.32044086835816	Could you tell the jury what time it was?
hvd.32044086835816	Did he do so?
hvd.32044086835816	Did he tell you so himself?
hvd.32044086835816	Did he tell you the nobleman's name?
hvd.32044086835816	Did her ladyship tell you as much?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she advise you to take the drug?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she carry out that intention?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she give you no account of the child?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she remain at the Castle on that day?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she take you into her confidence: tell you about her troubles or anything of that kind?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she tell you that?
hvd.32044086835816	Did the poor lady know anything of them?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you believe that?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you discover that story to be a lie?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you enter more than one bedroom?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you ever hear that Farmot was not his proper name?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you ever see him at Highlands?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you ever see this man at Highlands, Berthe?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you find the bedroom empty?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you help to dress her that night?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you look round quickly?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you meet any one?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you observe any significant fact — anything which might help the jury?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you observe that she wore any jewellery?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you see if she drank the water?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you see much of her during that time?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you speak to him?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you tell Paul of this?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you wake the lock- keeper?
hvd.32044086835816	Did your master specify a pencil when he sent you to search the wood?
hvd.32044086835816	Do the solicitors know nothing of it?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you believe all this of Captain Ferman?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you believe, then, that the story of an abduction is true?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you doubt it, then?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know anything of rice, Blandy?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know if Lady Anna went to London on either of these days?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know that face?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know when she left it for the second time?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you mean to say, monsieur, that the little girl is known to you?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you mean to say?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you mean to tell the jury that the Roumanian came to Streatly upon the night of the murder?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you mean, then, that I shall leave my work to become a policeman?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not think it possible that she purchased some on that day while she was in London?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you read the newspapers?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you remember the episode of the maid Berthe 266 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART and the man named Jules Farmot, who met her in London, Paul?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you see — the lady concealed by the curtain, monsieur?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you think he would help us?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you think that the drug was self- adminis- tered?
hvd.32044086835816	Does Ferman himself tell you nothing?
hvd.32044086835816	Does she speak French, by the way?
hvd.32044086835816	Does this concern my friends — is it also part of the sermon?
hvd.32044086835816	Does your own heart tell you that?
hvd.32044086835816	For two minutes?
hvd.32044086835816	For what were your eyes to be kept open?
hvd.32044086835816	From London?
hvd.32044086835816	Good God, monsieur, what is happening here?
hvd.32044086835816	Had she been long at Highlands, sir?
hvd.32044086835816	Has he been with them from the beginning?
hvd.32044086835816	Has he friends in England?
hvd.32044086835816	Have I a case?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you any description of the man meanwhile?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you been long in England, Excellency?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you been waiting long for me?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you seen him lately, Berthe?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you seen this mysterious Jules Farmot since the murder?
hvd.32044086835816	Having taken the opportunity of searching the poor lady's rooms before the police arrived?
hvd.32044086835816	He accompanied you — let me see, did Otto question you after you had visited the dressing- room?
hvd.32044086835816	He came secretly — you swear to that?
hvd.32044086835816	He missed the boat?
hvd.32044086835816	Heaven, sir, who'd have thought of such a thing?
hvd.32044086835816	Here? hvd.32044086835816 How a broken link?"
hvd.32044086835816	How can I serve him?
hvd.32044086835816	How could I forget it? hvd.32044086835816 How did you come to find it there?"
hvd.32044086835816	How do you come to know that?
hvd.32044086835816	How do you know that?
hvd.32044086835816	How do you know that?
hvd.32044086835816	How far is that from the house?
hvd.32044086835816	How long did you remain on the spot?
hvd.32044086835816	How long had you been in her service?
hvd.32044086835816	How long had you known her?
hvd.32044086835816	How long has he been married to this lady?
hvd.32044086835816	How was that?
hvd.32044086835816	I am aware of it, Paul — but do you not say that Gustave Faber is an excellent man, and that he is to take care of me?
hvd.32044086835816	I ask you in the name of Almighty God, did you murder Lady Anna Maclain?
hvd.32044086835816	I beg your Highness's pardon — but perhaps you did not receive her ladyship's telegram?
hvd.32044086835816	I believe I am correct in saying that you have known the dead lady for some years?
hvd.32044086835816	I do believe you — and then?
hvd.32044086835816	I never saw her there"Although you were stationed — in the Punjab, I think, for some years?
hvd.32044086835816	I say, monsieur, that I am upon Government busi- ness — cannot you help me? hvd.32044086835816 I?
hvd.32044086835816	If necessary — what do you mean by that?
hvd.32044086835816	If you please"Or perhaps half a minute?
hvd.32044086835816	Immediately, Highness?
hvd.32044086835816	In Chinon, sir?
hvd.32044086835816	In what state of health was she?
hvd.32044086835816	In what way is my husband concerned?
hvd.32044086835816	Indeed?
hvd.32044086835816	Is he not the chief of the police of Paris? hvd.32044086835816 Is it not well that one who was so bitter an enemy to her we loved should leave us at this time?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it your habit to be looking for pencil- cases in this plantation?
hvd.32044086835816	Is not this one more of the many mysteries I pray God we shall unravel?
hvd.32044086835816	Is not this our opportunity, Stella?
hvd.32044086835816	Is our family one that does not pay its gambling debts?
hvd.32044086835816	Is she not fortunate, then, in her brother?
hvd.32044086835816	Is that it?
hvd.32044086835816	Is that it?
hvd.32044086835816	Is that near to the room occupied by Lady Anna?
hvd.32044086835816	Is that the face of Michel Ghika, Paul?
hvd.32044086835816	Is that why she says,'Pray that the green heart may hide me when the hour comes'? hvd.32044086835816 Is there any other door but your own?"
hvd.32044086835816	It arrives at eleven o'clock; but, Excellency, is the Quai d'Orsay in the matter, then?
hvd.32044086835816	It is a question of honour as between man and woman, Captain Ferman?
hvd.32044086835816	It seems so ridiculous that you should go — but what can I do? hvd.32044086835816 It was not empty — who was there, then?"
hvd.32044086835816	It would not be in the interests of justice to speak of that?
hvd.32044086835816	It's a hound barking, sir"And it means?
hvd.32044086835816	Know — what do they know?
hvd.32044086835816	Knowing my opinion of him, and that I had for- bidden him this house?
hvd.32044086835816	Lady Anna thought that too?
hvd.32044086835816	Let me see it, Blandy — a rice pudding, did you say?
hvd.32044086835816	Let me see,he said at last,"you found this in Lady Anna's glove?"
hvd.32044086835816	Lightly — am I of a race that speaks lightly? hvd.32044086835816 Madame, it was because I hope to find my friend again that the doctor send me to Dieppe""And what were you to do at Dieppe, Berthe?"
hvd.32044086835816	Mais, madame?
hvd.32044086835816	May I hear it?
hvd.32044086835816	Meaning by that, I suppose, that it would make her invisible?
hvd.32044086835816	More likely to hang him, my excellent fellow, much more likely"Does your Highness seriously mean this?
hvd.32044086835816	Muck heap — what is that, pray?
hvd.32044086835816	Must I not know?
hvd.32044086835816	Must she then wear her heart on her sleeve? hvd.32044086835816 My dear fellow, have you been ill?"
hvd.32044086835816	My dear madame, are you really supposing that this is an affair of mine? hvd.32044086835816 My dear man, are you really so dreadfully annoyed with me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Nevertheless, I will be with you — does our dress matter?
hvd.32044086835816	No one else?
hvd.32044086835816	None the less,said Maurevale,"you were con- vinced of the steps?"
hvd.32044086835816	Nor why you visited Lady Anna's bedroom upon the night of her death — shall I tell you why, Arthur Blandy?
hvd.32044086835816	Not the line I am going to take?
hvd.32044086835816	Not to my knowledge"And therefore would not have been acquainted with Lady Anna at that time?
hvd.32044086835816	Nothing more?
hvd.32044086835816	Now come, my girl, on your oath will you swear that you heard Captain Ferman's voice?
hvd.32044086835816	Now really — was not I very ill?
hvd.32044086835816	Now you have said that you thought Lady Mac- lain was suffering from neuralgia on this Tuesday night; do you know if she took anything for it?
hvd.32044086835816	Now, sir, can you give the jury any help on cer- tain matters? hvd.32044086835816 Now, sir,"exclaimed Sir Horace in his sharpest tones,"tell the Court if you have ever seen this be- fore?"
hvd.32044086835816	Now, when was the last time you saw Captain Fer- man at Highlands?
hvd.32044086835816	Of course you have read about Sir William's re- port from the Home Office?
hvd.32044086835816	Of monsieur — of the Doctor Walther — do you know that he is dead, madame?
hvd.32044086835816	Of what telegram are you speaking?
hvd.32044086835816	Of what?
hvd.32044086835816	Oh, but that was very unusual — what was he doing there?
hvd.32044086835816	Oh, he is of that opinion, then — since when?
hvd.32044086835816	Oh, madame, madame,she sobbed, and then look- ing up with swollen eyes —"but you have heard the news, madame?"
hvd.32044086835816	Oh, she was speaking; and the other?
hvd.32044086835816	Oh,he cried,"but this is very interesting, Blandy; we seem to have come upon a playground, do we not?"
hvd.32044086835816	Oh,she cried,"my head is whirling"— and then,"why did you let me sleep?"
hvd.32044086835816	Oh,she exclaimed,"am I to understand, then, that I am watched?"
hvd.32044086835816	Or merely a question of taste,said Maurevale;"we change the colour of our doorposts, why not of our THE GREEN LANTERN 175 lanterns?
hvd.32044086835816	Otherwise you can tell the jury nothing?
hvd.32044086835816	Perfectly; have you any other commands for me?
hvd.32044086835816	Perhaps she would tell it to me if I visited her at the Rue Dauphine?
hvd.32044086835816	Quite so, and why not? hvd.32044086835816 Quite so, but you are ready to tell the jury that the analysis defies all common expectation and may speak of madness, temporary or permanent?"
hvd.32044086835816	Seen him — where?
hvd.32044086835816	Shall we say it was after ten o'clock?
hvd.32044086835816	Shall we sit, Captain Ferman?
hvd.32044086835816	She did? hvd.32044086835816 She has taken to love- making, then?"
hvd.32044086835816	She spoke to you of her friends, I suppose?
hvd.32044086835816	She was a good mistress to you?
hvd.32044086835816	So Madame Prevost has flattered me by running away, Paul? hvd.32044086835816 So it is that, my friend?
hvd.32044086835816	So that it might have been a hallucination?
hvd.32044086835816	So that you could not see the speakers'faces?
hvd.32044086835816	So what it comes to is this — that she is better in spirit but that she suffers from headache?
hvd.32044086835816	So you went straight from one to the other — neg- lecting other rooms?
hvd.32044086835816	So,he said,"it would appear that even my friends turn from me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Stella, do you believe that Captain Ferman loved Anna Maclain?
hvd.32044086835816	Sympathetic, I may take it?
hvd.32044086835816	Tell me,she exclaimed suddenly,"who came here to- night?"
hvd.32044086835816	That all this is known to me? hvd.32044086835816 That is a story of a hundred years ago, is it not?"
hvd.32044086835816	That's so; why do you ask?
hvd.32044086835816	That's very interesting — may I hear the name?
hvd.32044086835816	The assassin being discovered, I need hardly sug- gest that these mysterious deaths ceased in France?
hvd.32044086835816	The better reason a thousand times — I will present myself at six o'clock: you shall give me a cup of tea; is it understood, mademoiselle?
hvd.32044086835816	The dearest, certainly — why talk of him when I have so much to say to you and the time is so short?
hvd.32044086835816	The last time you saw him, but you heard him later on? hvd.32044086835816 The maid Berthe?"
hvd.32044086835816	The news of whom?
hvd.32044086835816	The picture?
hvd.32044086835816	The story is plausible,said his lordship presently;"but by what evidence is this theory of the glove sup- ported?"
hvd.32044086835816	The whole of the way?
hvd.32044086835816	Then I will promise — for, let us see, shall we say Saturday week?
hvd.32044086835816	Then bring me the news — shall we say at nine o'clock?
hvd.32044086835816	Then how did you recognise them?
hvd.32044086835816	Then if it had been necessary to summon her, to send a message or anything of that kind, you could not have done it?
hvd.32044086835816	Then no one has been?
hvd.32044086835816	Then our work has been in vain?
hvd.32044086835816	Then play the man — or must I play it for you? hvd.32044086835816 Then shall we say it was a minute?"
hvd.32044086835816	Then she must have entered the house almost upon your heels?
hvd.32044086835816	Then they did not insist?
hvd.32044086835816	Then why did you come?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you accuse me of a desire to return?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you are acquainted with her, prince?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you are less fortunate than the maid Berthe, who, I think, called upon you yesterday at the Hotel Gloucester?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you are willing?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you did not see what the English papers said about this Jules Farmot yesterday?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you do not hear it, monsieur?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you doubt my intentions?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you expect to hear from her?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you have seen this pencil before?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you have traced him, after all?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you hold him to be guilty?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you knew?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you must have known that there was a story?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you really have a case, Sir Horace?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you were in the hall?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you wish Michel Ghika to go to England?
hvd.32044086835816	Then you wish us to understand that you know of nothing which might have impelled her to self- de- struction?
hvd.32044086835816	Then your Excellency is offended?
hvd.32044086835816	Then your Excellency knows that I have been to Dieppe?
hvd.32044086835816	There is no evidence of any violence having been used? hvd.32044086835816 There was something in the glove, child?"
hvd.32044086835816	They are well off, the Farrards?
hvd.32044086835816	This was done, of course?
hvd.32044086835816	To Dieppe — why to Dieppe?
hvd.32044086835816	To Paris — here, to this hotel?
hvd.32044086835816	To know of your discoveries — which is odd, since you made none?
hvd.32044086835816	To speak to me about poor Ferman? hvd.32044086835816 To the East, Highness?"
hvd.32044086835816	Turning over the papers on the writing- table?
hvd.32044086835816	Upon the prince's undertaking that you should be here to- day?
hvd.32044086835816	Upon whose evidence?
hvd.32044086835816	Was her ladyship distressed upon receiving that?
hvd.32044086835816	Was it by his voice alone that you recognised him?
hvd.32044086835816	Was it dark there?
hvd.32044086835816	Was she an indulgent mistress?
hvd.32044086835816	Was she ever in India?
hvd.32044086835816	Was she upset by it?
hvd.32044086835816	Was the electric light turned on?
hvd.32044086835816	Was the message verbal or written?
hvd.32044086835816	Was there any trace of the commoner drugs, of caffeine and phenacetin?
hvd.32044086835816	Was there anything else extraordinary about her appearance?
hvd.32044086835816	Was this dastardly proceeding soon discovered, doctor?
hvd.32044086835816	Was this not the judgment of God? hvd.32044086835816 Well, Blandy, are we to dine comfortably?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well, Highness?
hvd.32044086835816	Well, Paul?
hvd.32044086835816	Well, monsieur, shall we resume? hvd.32044086835816 Well, my dear child, and what do you think of it all?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well, sir, I do n't know about that — but there is a stout gentleman"Did he give his name?
hvd.32044086835816	Well,exclaimed the prince,"why do you hesi- tate?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well,he exclaimed in the most natural voice pos- sible,"and are you better, my dear lady?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well,he said,"and what is the news I am to hear?"
hvd.32044086835816	Were you alone when you went to the village to get this note- paper on the Tuesday evening?
hvd.32044086835816	Were you looking for anything?
hvd.32044086835816	What day was that?
hvd.32044086835816	What did Captain Ferman answer?
hvd.32044086835816	What did Mr. Blandy say when you discovered him?
hvd.32044086835816	What did an old woman in such a place, and what was the meaning of her seclusion? hvd.32044086835816 What did you do when you had seen the cap- tain?"
hvd.32044086835816	What did you reply?
hvd.32044086835816	What do you make of that?
hvd.32044086835816	What do you mean by that?
hvd.32044086835816	What do you say, monsieur?
hvd.32044086835816	What have I got to get by it?
hvd.32044086835816	What have you done with him?
hvd.32044086835816	What kind of a glass did Lady Anna Maclain use when you saw her in the dressing- room on the eve of the murder?
hvd.32044086835816	What kind of a stick was it, inspector?
hvd.32044086835816	What leads your Excellency to such an opinion?
hvd.32044086835816	What made you think so?
hvd.32044086835816	What took you upstairs at such a time?
hvd.32044086835816	What train would that be?
hvd.32044086835816	What was he doing in Lady Anna's dressing- room?
hvd.32044086835816	What was he?
hvd.32044086835816	What was it?
hvd.32044086835816	What was she doing? hvd.32044086835816 What was the message, Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	What was your purpose in going there?
hvd.32044086835816	What's the good of he? hvd.32044086835816 What's up, my man?"
hvd.32044086835816	What, in Heaven's name, is it?
hvd.32044086835816	When did you first hear the news of the Lady Anna Maclain?
hvd.32044086835816	When did you last hear from him?
hvd.32044086835816	When was the last time you carried such a mes- sage?
hvd.32044086835816	Where did this recognition take place?
hvd.32044086835816	Where did you see it?
hvd.32044086835816	Where have you seen him?
hvd.32044086835816	Where is Tahir?
hvd.32044086835816	Where was that?
hvd.32044086835816	Where was that?
hvd.32044086835816	Which are, Monsieur Faber?
hvd.32044086835816	Which corridor?
hvd.32044086835816	Which he knew to be out on the previous evening?
hvd.32044086835816	Which one?
hvd.32044086835816	Who else? —-and poor Jack Ferman as well. hvd.32044086835816 Who is it that has sent you, sir — is it your friend Captain Ferman, the assassin?"
hvd.32044086835816	Who is it, Jules? hvd.32044086835816 Who told you that?"
hvd.32044086835816	Who told you the name of the murderer?
hvd.32044086835816	Who told you?
hvd.32044086835816	Who was with you?
hvd.32044086835816	Why did you go there?
hvd.32044086835816	Why did you receive them?
hvd.32044086835816	Why do you ask me that?
hvd.32044086835816	Why do you ask that?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should I be annoyed?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should I believe it?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should I? hvd.32044086835816 Why should he call it generosity?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should it be imprudent, sir? hvd.32044086835816 Why should my heart speak to me to- night?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why should she? hvd.32044086835816 Why should you know them?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why to Paris? hvd.32044086835816 Why upstairs?
hvd.32044086835816	Why was she anxious?
hvd.32044086835816	Why, Highness, I had a mind to peep inside of it this morning, and what do you think I found? hvd.32044086835816 Why, where the ashes go, ai n't it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why,he said,"and what is this, Stella?
hvd.32044086835816	Will that be for long? hvd.32044086835816 Will you not tell me the man's name?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you tell the jury just what you discovered there?
hvd.32044086835816	Will you tell the jury the result of that analysis?
hvd.32044086835816	Will you, doctor, be so good as to tell this Court something about it?
hvd.32044086835816	Without saying any more about the window?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he not indicate the nature of it?
hvd.32044086835816	Would that help Captain Ferman?
hvd.32044086835816	Would you be surprised to hear that he was not a chauffeur?
hvd.32044086835816	Would you expect to find them my good friends also?
hvd.32044086835816	Would you know it again?
hvd.32044086835816	Would you wish me to stay here all the time, Highness?
hvd.32044086835816	Yes, two or three"Whose were they?
hvd.32044086835816	You agree with me that she is a beautiful woman?
hvd.32044086835816	You are John Philip Ferman — late of the Second Battalion of the Manchester Regiment?
hvd.32044086835816	You are a groom in the service of Prince Maure- vale, I think?
hvd.32044086835816	You are quite clear about this?
hvd.32044086835816	You are quite positive about that?
hvd.32044086835816	You are quite sure, however, that the police watched you at Dieppe?
hvd.32044086835816	You are the Bimbashi Tahir, and you left Egypt five years ago?
hvd.32044086835816	You are the Bimbashi Tahir, and you left Egypt five years ago?
hvd.32044086835816	You believe, then, that she loves him; you have never doubted that, Stella?
hvd.32044086835816	You come from Strasburg?
hvd.32044086835816	You could hear it from the hall below?
hvd.32044086835816	You could not see him?
hvd.32044086835816	You did answer him, though — tell me that you did?
hvd.32044086835816	You did not watch him?
hvd.32044086835816	You do n't agree with them, Maurevale?
hvd.32044086835816	You do not believe it?
hvd.32044086835816	You entered the bedroom, and Mr. Blandy was there?
hvd.32044086835816	You have been to the Rue Dauphine?
hvd.32044086835816	You have other ideas, sir?
hvd.32044086835816	You have read of our little entertainment at Shoe- buryness?
hvd.32044086835816	You imagine that to have been the case?
hvd.32044086835816	You know it, prince?
hvd.32044086835816	You know that the count is supposed to be work- ing diplomatically for the French Government?
hvd.32044086835816	You mean Madame Ghika — did you tell her why you came?
hvd.32044086835816	You saw him at nine o'clock — what then?
hvd.32044086835816	You say that Captain Ferman came to this house on Tuesday last? hvd.32044086835816 You say that you know how Anna Maclain died?"
hvd.32044086835816	You say then?
hvd.32044086835816	You think they will come here then, sir?
hvd.32044086835816	You took the tickets of the passengers who arrived at Goring by the 6.10 train from London?
hvd.32044086835816	You went to Reading Police Station; when was that?
hvd.32044086835816	You were lately on the general staff — having passed the necessary examination, I think?
hvd.32044086835816	You were on duty at Goring Station on the night of Tuesday, June 30th?
hvd.32044086835816	You were one of Lady Anna's friends, I think?
hvd.32044086835816	You will introduce me to him?
hvd.32044086835816	You will see — what affair is it then of yours?
hvd.32044086835816	Your Highness has received the report concerning Herr Otto Walther?
hvd.32044086835816	Your Highness is quite convinced that this is wise?
hvd.32044086835816	Your Highness will see the brother, of course?
hvd.32044086835816	Your cottage at Wargrave?
hvd.32044086835816	Your own view being, Paul?
hvd.32044086835816	'"And yet I understand that he was a man about whom Cairo gossiped some years ago?"
hvd.32044086835816	'"I am sure that he would — shall I send a telegram to invite him here?'
hvd.32044086835816	's in safe custody?
hvd.32044086835816	*'Why should I?
hvd.32044086835816	,"Is your Highness alone?"
hvd.32044086835816	100 A NEW NAME IS HEARD 101"Herr Krussman, do you know the prince?
hvd.32044086835816	118 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Then Herbert has told you that I must go to town?"
hvd.32044086835816	20 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"You do not think it is antipyrin, or any of the nostrums for headache commonly used by women?"
hvd.32044086835816	204- THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Have you any agent in Chinon?"
hvd.32044086835816	212 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Naturally — and my sister?"
hvd.32044086835816	238 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"'So madame the countess sent you to spy upon me?
hvd.32044086835816	254 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Do I know them?"
hvd.32044086835816	278 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Why is it necessary, monsieur?"
hvd.32044086835816	298 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART Is this the time to ask me such a thing?
hvd.32044086835816	322 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"But you would not kill him, baron, for a few paltry francs?"
hvd.32044086835816	38 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"In what, Stella?"
hvd.32044086835816	384 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Will you tell the jury the names of some of those friends?"
hvd.32044086835816	390 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Ah, she asked for them on the morning of the day — you are speaking of the Tuesday?"
hvd.32044086835816	396 THE MYSTERY OP THE GREEN HEART"In which case, my good girl, you do not know that the man is dead?"
hvd.32044086835816	454 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Who, as a matter of fact, stood outside alto- gether?"
hvd.32044086835816	78 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"Now help me to unharness this obliging horse — do you hear what I say, Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	882 THE BARON IS SATISFIED 333"How do you know all this?"
hvd.32044086835816	92 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"A quick step?"
hvd.32044086835816	A NEW NAME IS HEARD 103"Then you will attend the council?"
hvd.32044086835816	ACROSS THE FRONTIER 299"Then what do they say, Jules?"
hvd.32044086835816	Admittedly, but at whose bidding, and why at such a moment of her career?
hvd.32044086835816	Ah,'she exclaimed at last — and I could see with what difficulty she spoke at all —'then you knew that unhappy lady?'
hvd.32044086835816	Am I a wizard?"
hvd.32044086835816	Am I right in this conclusion?"
hvd.32044086835816	Am I to suffer that dishonour?"
hvd.32044086835816	And after?"
hvd.32044086835816	And as we both appear to be without a destination, who do you say, monsieur, to a little supper at the Cafe Heinrich?"
hvd.32044086835816	And first will you permit me a certain freedom in recounting an older story?"
hvd.32044086835816	And if they had followed him, would his visit to Wargrave have escaped them?
hvd.32044086835816	And might it not be worth some thousand odd francs to him?
hvd.32044086835816	And now that Walther was dead, to whom would she turn, upon whom would her confidence be bestowed?
hvd.32044086835816	And now, what was I saying?
hvd.32044086835816	And so I come to you""To me, prince?"
hvd.32044086835816	And that is natural, for it was her own child, and who had a better right?"
hvd.32044086835816	And that reminds me, Edward, are you capable of taking charge of Miss Insole's maid?
hvd.32044086835816	And then as earnestly:"May not even you be mistaken in this?"
hvd.32044086835816	And then he asked:"If not he, who else?
hvd.32044086835816	And then she said:"Must you go? — is there no other way?"
hvd.32044086835816	And then she said:"Must you go? — is there no other way?"
hvd.32044086835816	And then, with a sudden blaze of passion, as though memory returned swiftly, he cried:"Why do you ask me this — you, in whose house she died?
hvd.32044086835816	And then?,"98 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART"She waited there as though expecting some one.
hvd.32044086835816	And upon this occasion our young friend Otto Walther was not there to help you as he had been on the night of which you speak?"
hvd.32044086835816	And was there not, besides, this talk of the police?
hvd.32044086835816	And what forbade her to speak openly if she meant to speak at all?
hvd.32044086835816	And why write it down for such an old friend as myself?
hvd.32044086835816	And, of course, her secrets are buried with her?"
hvd.32044086835816	Anyway, how does this man count?
hvd.32044086835816	Are there others?
hvd.32044086835816	Are they not to be obtained in London?"
hvd.32044086835816	Are we reduced to a recitation of Cook's gospel for the enlivenment of our dinner- tables?"
hvd.32044086835816	Are women barred?"
hvd.32044086835816	Are you able to say what he was doing there?"
hvd.32044086835816	Are you aware that this Madame Prevost has left Chinon?'
hvd.32044086835816	Are you aware, by the way, to what your friend Tahir owes his Eng- lish sympathies?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you not anxious to get back, Stella?
hvd.32044086835816	Are you not the target for every adventurer in Europe?"
hvd.32044086835816	Are you quite sure of that?"
hvd.32044086835816	As you are in such a hurry, and I see they are about to serve dinner, shall it be costume de voyage, and will you forgive me?"
hvd.32044086835816	At what hour did you first learn that Lady Anna Maclain was dead?"
hvd.32044086835816	At what time should I be likely to find mademoiselle alone?"
hvd.32044086835816	Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	But I do not doubt that I could quickly procure another copy if your Excellency desires it?"
hvd.32044086835816	But did you start from nothing, Highness?
hvd.32044086835816	But have you not sworn at the inquest and before the magistrates that it was the day of the murder?"
hvd.32044086835816	But he avoided any remark upon it and continued, suavely:"Did you know Lady Constance Heliers at all?"
hvd.32044086835816	But he is very rich, this Tahir Pasha, and what does it matter what we do while we are rich?
hvd.32044086835816	But how to find him?
hvd.32044086835816	But if he be no assassin, if the man who really killed poor Anna be beyond the borders of our inquiry, what then?
hvd.32044086835816	But is that the case: do I find evidences of it here in his daily life at Aizy- la- Belle?
hvd.32044086835816	But surely that is no reason why I should not go?
hvd.32044086835816	But what had madame to do with it?'
hvd.32044086835816	But with all this the mystery remained — how and when had he given her the poison, and how could the prosecution bring it home to him?
hvd.32044086835816	But you would not be interested; you forbid me to speak of it perhaps?"
hvd.32044086835816	But you would not be unprepared to help me if you could, sir?"
hvd.32044086835816	But, my dear Madame de Fours, how do you know this?'
hvd.32044086835816	By the way, does Ferman treat you better than he treats me?
hvd.32044086835816	By the way, you know they have a warrant for Blandy — my steward?"
hvd.32044086835816	By what magic had a master intellect woven the threads into this perfect whole?
hvd.32044086835816	Can not you state your business, mademoiselle?'
hvd.32044086835816	Can you assure me as much?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can you help the jury with any further information, in- spector?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can you imagine what purpose these links served?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can you say that such a man worked for English employers?
hvd.32044086835816	Can you tell me anything of this elusive monster, I wonder, or is that a question which should not be asked?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can you tell them, to begin with, how the stretchers of this boat were placed — were they set for a man or for a woman?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can you tell us anything of it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Can your Highness imagine who it was?"
hvd.32044086835816	Come, man, are you losing your wits?"
hvd.32044086835816	Come, my friend, will you not inform Monsieur Prevost?"
hvd.32044086835816	Could I answer that I was not the keeper of your heart, Stella — dare I say as much?
hvd.32044086835816	Could you, in conjunction with our friend Faber, put me in touch with such undesirable people at a short notice?
hvd.32044086835816	Desire of gain, jealousy, anger, shame, what further incentives did common sense re- quire?
hvd.32044086835816	Did I not see just such a heart of green jade in your house at Chinon?'
hvd.32044086835816	Did Lady Anna, I wonder, ever carry her tablets in a locket?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did he tell you what you must do?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did not I tell you so?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did not I tell you?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did not her very correspondence speak of approach- ing engagements, of hopes and promises and the pleas- ures of the hour?
hvd.32044086835816	Did not the police say that he, also, was among the suspects?
hvd.32044086835816	Did she see Captain Ferman often?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did the old count ap- prove of the adventure?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you agree with him?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you ever hear of a dean who hurried?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you find Dieppe amusing?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you hear his voice?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you hear them at the inquest?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you not know of it?'
hvd.32044086835816	Did you not send him to my house, then?'
hvd.32044086835816	Did you not start from a wine- glass and a little water?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you not take Olive to Chinon?
hvd.32044086835816	Did you not tell me, by the way, that this house was supposed to be owned by the Young Egyptian Party in Paris?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you obtain a copy of it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Did you think of that also?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do I ask too much of you?—does our friendship justify me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do I not come in the name of one with whom you were very well acquainted?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do I speak the truth, Captain Ferman?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do n't 844 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART you think that points to insanity?
hvd.32044086835816	Do n't you see that this is no tiff, or that sort of thing, but a determined passion lasting over many years?
hvd.32044086835816	Do n't you think his friends and Anna's could find the money?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do n't you understand the police are on your heels?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do n't you, Excellency?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you agree to that?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you agree with him, madame?'
hvd.32044086835816	Do you deny it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you happen to know the name of the chemist to whom she wrote?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you hear that, Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you hear that?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know anything of her story?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know her brother, the earl?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know much of his story?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know that Europe has begun to believe me when I have said there shall be no more war?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know that I could desire nothing better than this news?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know that be- tween you, you owe my friend Baltard and myself more than one hundred thousand francs?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know what people are saying?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know what the word'hasib'means?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know what this is, Monsieur Faber?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you know, Stella, that I was upon the point of attaining my desires, THE PRINCE AND STELLA INSOLE 41 fables that they seem?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you make anything of it? — do you know the lady?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you make anything of it? — do you know the lady?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you make anything of the case yet?—have you really gone into it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you mean that the house was empty?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not admit it yourself?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not find that an interesting recital, Highness?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not know that the police are on our track, and that I am at my FLIGHT 73 wits'ends to save you from them?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not owe it to her to remain here?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not still hear them, Blandy?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you not think of Highlands sometimes, as it is these summer days?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you re- member Archie Kerrington, Lord Sapiston's son?
hvd.32044086835816	Do you remember if she wore it upon the night you speak of?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you repose complete confidence in him?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you return to Highlands to- night?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you say he is in Paris at this moment?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you think it odd that his stick was found in the boat, Stella?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you think that you can save her life?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you think the maid Berthe had any grudge against him?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you under- stand me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you understand that, Faber?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you understand?"
hvd.32044086835816	Do you wonder that I break my habit of reticence and share with you of all my friends the knowledge of this great secret?"
hvd.32044086835816	Does he tell you anything of Lady Anna's story?"
hvd.32044086835816	Does it go so far as to suppose Captain Ferman's innocence?"
hvd.32044086835816	Does she believe that I can help you — she who knows very well how that lady died?'
hvd.32044086835816	Does your Excellency now perceive how very beautiful the young lady is?"
hvd.32044086835816	For if the police had been following the maid Berthe, would not her lover — the man must be her lover — have been followed also?
hvd.32044086835816	For myself, I must return to town, and if you really can trust your serv- ants to do the nursing?"
hvd.32044086835816	For what had he learned, and what did the knowledge contribute to the solution of the supreme mystery?
hvd.32044086835816	For what man with a glimmer of reason left to him would have murdered a woman and then rowed half- way from Goring to Pangbourne in a boat with her?
hvd.32044086835816	From which of these great houses had the deadly drug which killed Anna been purchased, and by what channels had it come into the murderer's hands?
hvd.32044086835816	HELIERS AT BAY 315"Then you would leave me alone here?"
hvd.32044086835816	HOUSE OF FIVE GREEN SHUTTERS 67 His loud shouts of"Hi, there — are you all asleep?"
hvd.32044086835816	Had I not the right to do it at such an hour and under circumstances so dramatic?
hvd.32044086835816	Had she enemies in her own country?
hvd.32044086835816	Had she no moments of self- reproach, of reflection, even of regret?
hvd.32044086835816	Had you ever been before?"
hvd.32044086835816	Has any one been here since you came?"
hvd.32044086835816	Has the woman left Strasburg?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have I his blood upon my hands?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have they any news of the earl, by the way?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have you any idea, can you form any opinion as to why this woman wishes to see me?'
hvd.32044086835816	Have you any one in the car with you, monsieur?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have you forgotten Mr. Blandy, my old steward?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you got anything in the way of an ambulance here?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you had any news of the maid Berthe, the young lady who is so very anxious to hang this unfortunate young fellow who is charged with the crime?
hvd.32044086835816	Have you not thought very badly of me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have you remembered that?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have you seen him lately?"
hvd.32044086835816	Have you seen him to- day, by the way?"
hvd.32044086835816	He had served great ambitions, and whither had they led him?
hvd.32044086835816	He is a victim to drugs?"
hvd.32044086835816	He tells me that he has seen you before — was it not at Blois?'
hvd.32044086835816	He to sell himself, he who had treated their offers with such a just scorn?
hvd.32044086835816	How are you going to convince us at Lausanne?
hvd.32044086835816	How came it that Ferman could not prove his statements?
hvd.32044086835816	How could it be, prince?
hvd.32044086835816	How damning is the testimony ■ — can innocence be imagined after hearing it?
hvd.32044086835816	How did he come — to lunch, to dinner?"
hvd.32044086835816	How did you come to be at Pangbourne at that hour in the morning?"
hvd.32044086835816	How do you know that the doctor is dead?
hvd.32044086835816	How does that suit?
hvd.32044086835816	How long ago was it that you heard a noise?"
hvd.32044086835816	How many years since I — but you know him well; he is an old friend of yours, mademoiselle?'
hvd.32044086835816	How might he see the man's face and yet go un- discovered?
hvd.32044086835816	How otherwise can I account for the impulses which have overtaken me, irresistible and ever sure?
hvd.32044086835816	How would he bear himself — how would he plead?
hvd.32044086835816	How would they save Captain Ferman from the gallows or help him, Arthur Blandy, to deny that he was accessory?
hvd.32044086835816	How would this be answered?
hvd.32044086835816	How, then, could I answer the man who told me that he loved you?"
hvd.32044086835816	How, then, if Anna's child came into the custody of such a man?
hvd.32044086835816	I am Maurevale of Dara — perhaps my name is known to you?"
hvd.32044086835816	I am assuming that she was so, monsieur, or you would not have spoken of her in such flattering terms?"
hvd.32044086835816	I am sure you must find it so?"
hvd.32044086835816	I ask you why, child?"
hvd.32044086835816	I do not think we need enter into that?"
hvd.32044086835816	I must assume that?"
hvd.32044086835816	I repeat, you are not against us, Maurevale?"
hvd.32044086835816	I tell you I stand in the shadow of death, and I know it; can I say more?"
hvd.32044086835816	If you can tell me?"
hvd.32044086835816	In how far had she been Walther's tool?
hvd.32044086835816	Indeed, this is a very great mystery, and who shall say that the truth of it will ever be made known?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is anything else apparent to you, Faber?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is he also a client of yours?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is he as fond of baccarat as ever?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is he good enough to add reasons?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is he not himself in danger?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is he not the father of your tame youth with the big eyes?
hvd.32044086835816	Is it ascertained beyond doubt?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not a fact that you searched Lady Anna's dressing- room after the police had been at Highlands?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not distance which lends enchantment to the view?
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not quite natural?'
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not so, Stella?
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not so, prince?
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not so, sir — and do you find fault with me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not so?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it not time that this interview should terminate?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it possible, do you think?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it so, or was I wrong to send for you?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it so?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it true or false?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is it understood — is that the oath to which we bear witness?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is not that a correct account?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is not that a heavy punishment for an indiscretion — is it justice, Stella?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is not this a lady whom I had the pleasure of meeting once at your house?
hvd.32044086835816	Is she not beautiful?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is that not strange, and she did not go to Chinon to end her days, as she told her neighbours?
hvd.32044086835816	Is that so?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is that so?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is that to stand against me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is that unexpected?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is that what you wish to tell the jury?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is that what you would tell us, Sir William?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is the Earl of Farrard expected home im- mediately?"
hvd.32044086835816	Is this also clear to you?
hvd.32044086835816	It did nothing of the kind, however, and there was not an instant when he did not ask himself the question: Have we time?
hvd.32044086835816	It was all about the great white diamond — but what should a child like you know of that?
hvd.32044086835816	It was to ask for my protection, of course?"
hvd.32044086835816	Kerrington?"
hvd.32044086835816	Lady Anna's maid?'
hvd.32044086835816	MAUREVALE ARRIVES AT STRASBURG 267"Would you say that he is the murderer?"
hvd.32044086835816	Madame, will you tell them?
hvd.32044086835816	Mademoiselle is Eng- lish, and will like to see the English pictures here in our country — is it not so, mademoiselle?'
hvd.32044086835816	Mademoiselle,'she said,'are you the true friend of Monsieur le Comte?'
hvd.32044086835816	Maurevale desired him to do so — then he said:"Do young Egyptian ladies take an interest in the story of French houses?
hvd.32044086835816	Maurevale indicated that he followed him, then he said:"But that is not the line you are going to take at the trial?"
hvd.32044086835816	May I tell Allulah that all is well with you?"
hvd.32044086835816	May I tell the jury that she was much beloved in society?"
hvd.32044086835816	May I use your name in this matter?"
hvd.32044086835816	Meanwhile you forbid me to carry good news to Captain Ferman's friends?"
hvd.32044086835816	Money, money, money, is it not terrible to be compelled to write always of that?
hvd.32044086835816	Montagu Wilson continued:"Did you recognise any of these men?"
hvd.32044086835816	Must I barter it, then, in the name of a woman who loved me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Must I be kennelled here like a dog for every coward to point a finger at?
hvd.32044086835816	Must he sell his honour?
hvd.32044086835816	No doubt the house has a history with which you would be familiar; is it not so, monsieur?"
hvd.32044086835816	No?
hvd.32044086835816	None of these things are now hidden 452 THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART of this sort without mistakes?
hvd.32044086835816	Now where did you find them, Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	Now, my dear Maurevale, do you really envy me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Now, my dear Sir Malcolm, was not that official obstinacy?"
hvd.32044086835816	Now, really, do n't you believe him to be quite innocent?"
hvd.32044086835816	Of what service, either to him or to the man who had employed him, were these witnesses to a prosperity for- eign to the marshes?
hvd.32044086835816	Of what use her testimony if her sanity were to be questioned?
hvd.32044086835816	Oh, come, are you not a man?
hvd.32044086835816	Or was her proposal mere bluff, the tale that came first to her lips, and one sug- gested by Maurevale himself?
hvd.32044086835816	Please take your money — perhaps you would like to run out and change the note while I am upstairs?"
hvd.32044086835816	Presently Sir Malcolm said:"By the way, do you ever use coniine here?"
hvd.32044086835816	Presently he said:"But why should you help me?
hvd.32044086835816	Presently she asked:"'Was it not the prince who sent you to Aizy- la- Belle?'
hvd.32044086835816	Presently she said in a low voice:"'How can I help you, mademoiselle — why do you think so?'
hvd.32044086835816	Presently she said:"Is it not that your friends may fear to speak — do they not trust you absolutely?"
hvd.32044086835816	Shall I confess ACROSS THE FRONTIER 305 that my own secrets came out of their hiding- places then and stood all about me?
hvd.32044086835816	Shall I drive you to the station, by the way, before my man stables the car?
hvd.32044086835816	Shall I follow you upstairs?"
hvd.32044086835816	Shall I remind you that you have led the magistrates to believe that it was at the boat- house itself?"
hvd.32044086835816	Shall I tell you how, Stella?—do you wish me to go on?"
hvd.32044086835816	Shall I tell you what he thinks?"
hvd.32044086835816	She allowed the woman to weep a little while in silence, then she said:"Were you alone in London?"
hvd.32044086835816	She is in London, is she not?"
hvd.32044086835816	Should I not hear that to begin with?"
hvd.32044086835816	Should I not say, Stella, that he is a guilty man?"
hvd.32044086835816	Since how long, I wonder?"
hvd.32044086835816	Some minutes passed and found him quite silent, but presently he asked:"Has she been away from Highlands at all?"
hvd.32044086835816	Such an offer would tie the woman's hands, but would it tie the man's?
hvd.32044086835816	Such is the evidence of Madame de Fours — should your lordship wish to bring that lady from France?"
hvd.32044086835816	Surely I must not suppose that this act of justice, this testimony which might save the life of an innocent man, is regarded by you as an affront?"
hvd.32044086835816	Surely your hypothesis would not make of him a traitor?"
hvd.32044086835816	Surely, my dear fellow, you are not against us?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE BARON CORTOT AND ANOTHER 253"Did I really talk nonsense?
hvd.32044086835816	THE BARON CORTOT AND ANOTHER 255"How — for money?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE BARON IS SATISFIED 335"I have always wished to believe it — what then?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE GARDEN GATE 197"Had you not better tell me at once that my hus- band murdered this lady?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE JURY IS PERPLEXED 21"Had you any reason to believe that she was in trouble?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE JURY IS PERPLEXED 29"But you can swear that you heard Lady Anna's voice?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE JURY IS PERPLEXED 83"She was an important guest?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN HEART he did so?
hvd.32044086835816	THE PRINCE AND THE ACCUSED 57"Why do you say that?
hvd.32044086835816	THE TRIAL 389"Did my lady tell you whom she met in London on the Tuesday?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE TRIAL 397"Have you recognised any of the passengers by that train since the day in question?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE TRIAL 411"This chain was found at the farm?"
hvd.32044086835816	THE YOUNG MAN SPEAKS 185"How can Tahir help you?
hvd.32044086835816	Tell me, was I wrong to let him go?
hvd.32044086835816	That is better, is it not?
hvd.32044086835816	That is both philosophic and patriotic, for how can one re- member one's country so kindly as when one is banished from it?"
hvd.32044086835816	The contents of a glass, appar- ently containing water, were sent you by the Reading police, I think?"
hvd.32044086835816	The coroner waited a little while for her to resume, and then continued:"You are willing to swear that you saw Captain Ferman?"
hvd.32044086835816	The evidence — I beg your pardon, but is that a button lying by the door — a red button?"
hvd.32044086835816	The little green box — in the name of humour, what next, mademoiselle?'
hvd.32044086835816	The man went to the Wilhelmstrasse — for what?
hvd.32044086835816	The ques- tion is, can they prove it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Then she said:"'And where is our friend Maurevale all this time?'
hvd.32044086835816	Then she said:"Did you know that Anna was some time in India?"
hvd.32044086835816	Then the door opened a little way and some one behind it asked,"Who is it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Then what shall I do — what shall I say to monsieur le proprietaire?
hvd.32044086835816	Then why is n't it in the brief — why is it kept from me?
hvd.32044086835816	There was no one whom Heliers knew at the Embassies in such a month — for was not all the world still at Dieppe or Aix, at Trouville or Etretat?
hvd.32044086835816	There was nothing whatever in that room, I remember, but a glove in the right- hand drawer of the dressing- table?"
hvd.32044086835816	They might have been ad- ministered by a person who had lost his reason tempo- rarily?"
hvd.32044086835816	They're all after'em — and why should n't my country get em?
hvd.32044086835816	Think what a tale you would be able to tell in the clubs — and, Archie, could n't you take gas?"
hvd.32044086835816	This poor lady could not possibly have been the victim of one who attempted to rob her?"
hvd.32044086835816	This was vain, however, and anon she said, as one speaking in a reverie:"Does the answer to that rest with me?"
hvd.32044086835816	This wizard knew — but would knowledge bring salvation?
hvd.32044086835816	To begin with, are your assistants still here?"
hvd.32044086835816	Very well, then — you undertake the commis- sion?"
hvd.32044086835816	Very well; shall I call at your hotel to hear of it — shall I do myself the honour?"
hvd.32044086835816	Walther?"
hvd.32044086835816	Walther?"
hvd.32044086835816	Was he an Englishman?"
hvd.32044086835816	Was he not saying that, after all, the police of Nancy were the proper people to see to this?
hvd.32044086835816	Was his life worth a month's purchase at any price?
hvd.32044086835816	Was it because he believed that Maurevale would marry her and put an end once and for all to the schemes of the intriguers?
hvd.32044086835816	Was it looked for?"
hvd.32044086835816	Was it not natural to safeguard it?
hvd.32044086835816	Was it not that, Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	Was it not to save it that I had you watched to- day?"
hvd.32044086835816	Was it possible that Anna had intrigued against the English as a mere girl in Cairo?
hvd.32044086835816	Was it possible, then, that this flight implied the final victory, which would prove Jack Ferman innocent and vindicate him before the world?
hvd.32044086835816	Was not I merely the friend upon whom your sympathy had been bestowed?
hvd.32044086835816	Was that to your knowledge?"
hvd.32044086835816	We know that certainly — but what follows after?
hvd.32044086835816	Well, after that?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well, then, must we not rely upon our- selves to give this excellent soldier his liberty?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well, then, what did madame say?"
hvd.32044086835816	Well, what then?"
hvd.32044086835816	Were there any others whom you saw in the quadrangle?"
hvd.32044086835816	Were these unnecessary?
hvd.32044086835816	Were you there for a minute?"
hvd.32044086835816	What business can you have to keep you in Strasburg?
hvd.32044086835816	What could I say to him?
hvd.32044086835816	What could he do for a master who would hardly wait for a travelling- bag?
hvd.32044086835816	What did he reply?"
hvd.32044086835816	What did this woman know?
hvd.32044086835816	What did you see at the Police Station?"
hvd.32044086835816	What did your master order you to look for?—anything in particular?"
hvd.32044086835816	What do I know about papers at this time of night?
hvd.32044086835816	What do they say?"
hvd.32044086835816	What easier, then, than to sell it to Maurevale for as many thousands?
hvd.32044086835816	What had happened in Strasburg; what tragic circumstances had sent them forth like this?
hvd.32044086835816	What had she to do with it?
hvd.32044086835816	What had taken John Fer- man to Highlands at such a tragic moment?
hvd.32044086835816	What have you to say to that?"
hvd.32044086835816	What hopes?
hvd.32044086835816	What is a woman's faith in a man's friendship if sacri- fice, at least, may not be asked of it?
hvd.32044086835816	What is your ob- ligation that you wish to be my friend?"
hvd.32044086835816	What mattered the truth if Stella Insole were not the first to hear it?
hvd.32044086835816	What more natural than that I should receive her?"
hvd.32044086835816	What more natural, then, than that his dread of possible con- sequences should prove stronger than his reason?
hvd.32044086835816	What new in- terest had come into her life to bend that daring spirit to these craven counsels?
hvd.32044086835816	What right had he, what title to forget, that she had been as his own daugh- ter, the child of his house, which had been honoured to shelter her?
hvd.32044086835816	What right has this young man to turn to me?"
hvd.32044086835816	What testimony can I give that is not better given by others?
hvd.32044086835816	What then, sir?"
hvd.32044086835816	What time is it, prince?"
hvd.32044086835816	What woman caring for children would forget a fact so obvious?
hvd.32044086835816	What would its promise of life be worth?
hvd.32044086835816	What's that got to do with it?"
hvd.32044086835816	When did he ask you?"
hvd.32044086835816	When she went to India did not this man follow her?
hvd.32044086835816	When the latter retorted,"But your lordship and I do not THE TRIAL 3T3 The judge looked up sharply"What is that?"
hvd.32044086835816	When was it received?"
hvd.32044086835816	Whence had the message come — and was it from the detestable baron?
hvd.32044086835816	Whence had this strange story come?
hvd.32044086835816	Where did you meet the captain?"
hvd.32044086835816	Where do you say the boat is?"
hvd.32044086835816	Where had he seen such a face before?
hvd.32044086835816	Where must the people who kept that house be sought?
hvd.32044086835816	Which way did she go?"
hvd.32044086835816	Whither should he seek the key which would unlock the golden door?
hvd.32044086835816	Who does not listen to the heralds as they stand at the street corners and blow their trumpets?
hvd.32044086835816	Who does not pay homage to the Judge as the High Sheriff carries him off in the state coach?
hvd.32044086835816	Who had murdered that gentle woman, and with what object?
hvd.32044086835816	Who has thought such a thing?"
hvd.32044086835816	Who knows that I may not be the very friend for whom you have been waiting?"
hvd.32044086835816	Who told you?"
hvd.32044086835816	Who was the third figure of the night, and what would he do?
hvd.32044086835816	Who, then, had spoken to him, and who had dared?
hvd.32044086835816	Whom did you see there?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why are people foolish enough to believe it?
hvd.32044086835816	Why did you not come to me before — after you had seen Madame Prevost, for instance?'
hvd.32044086835816	Why do n't you tell them it's a lie — why do n't my friends speak for me?
hvd.32044086835816	Why do they not set him free?'
hvd.32044086835816	Why do you ask me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why do you come to my house with this story — why do you affront me?
hvd.32044086835816	Why have you come so far to see an old woman like me, mademoiselle?'
hvd.32044086835816	Why not a little more frankness?
hvd.32044086835816	Why not come down to the duke's box for the week?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why should I remember it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Why should I?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should he have killed a woman who, if this account be true, was working for a common object?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should he risk his skin for a crazy curiosity which could lead nowhere?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should he?
hvd.32044086835816	Why should she wish him not to go?
hvd.32044086835816	Why so?'
hvd.32044086835816	Why, then, did he not hasten to her at Strasburg?
hvd.32044086835816	Why, then, did she propose to go to London?
hvd.32044086835816	Why?
hvd.32044086835816	Why?
hvd.32044086835816	Will you believe that?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you ever forgive me for this fiasco?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you please leave me now?
hvd.32044086835816	Will you please tell us the name of it?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you promise me a safe- conduct?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you say what is necessaire for me?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you swear it on your oath?"
hvd.32044086835816	Will you tell the jury why you went?"
hvd.32044086835816	Wo n't you tell me whom it was about?"
hvd.32044086835816	Would Prince Maurevale be dethroned by spies, or would he first establish his boast that there should be no more war?
hvd.32044086835816	Would any jury acquit such a man?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he ask her in all earnestness for that help of her comradeship which, hitherto, had been but the subject of his flattery?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he be still at Lausanne, or had he returned to London?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he find the murderer as he had prom- ised, or would discovery come too late?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he make the frontier safely?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he not rather have fled at once, making the most of the precious moments, and so winning his own freedom?
hvd.32044086835816	Would he say that she had done well?
hvd.32044086835816	Would her mind revolt against the in- evitability of the tragedy?
hvd.32044086835816	Would not he have to leave Paris or something?
hvd.32044086835816	Would not the prince have told her plainly if that were so?
hvd.32044086835816	Would she, a woman, accuse the vengeance which he had taken?
hvd.32044086835816	Would they put the prisoner in the box — would he be heard for him- self?
hvd.32044086835816	Would this bold coup, indeed, be rewarded by success?
hvd.32044086835816	Would you be good enough to describe the ornament?"
hvd.32044086835816	Would you know Monsieur Farmot if you saw his picture?"
hvd.32044086835816	Yes, it is a common railway guide, and the page is marked at the trains — why at the trains — where do you think, Blandy?"
hvd.32044086835816	You are keeping me a long time, and I do not think that my friend, Monsieur Lepine""Lepine — Lepine — who, then, is Lepine?"
hvd.32044086835816	You have assistants here,'Paul?"
hvd.32044086835816	You have seen this object before?"
hvd.32044086835816	You see, I am lucky; I might have missed you on the road; but I did not, and here we are, and the question is, at what time will the police arrive?"
hvd.32044086835816	You swear it?"
hvd.32044086835816	You were Lady Anna's maid?"
hvd.32044086835816	You were at Streatly on the night of the murder?"
hvd.32044086835816	You were doubtful about my going to Lausanne, then?"
hvd.32044086835816	You will not forget?'
hvd.32044086835816	You, however, gave the woman the best advice you could, Stella?
hvd.32044086835816	had been one affecting her honour and the honour of her race?
hvd.32044086835816	he asked, when dessert had been served;"but do you read the papers, by the way?"
hvd.32044086835816	he cried, almost as one in despair,"you do n't tell me that any one believes it?
hvd.32044086835816	intimate friends?"
hvd.32044086835816	of that?"
hvd.32044086835816	shall we outwit them?
hvd.32044086835816	she asked with asperity;'of what do you speak, mademoiselle?'
hvd.32044086835816	she exclaimed, a frown gathering upon her handsome face;'but what has she to do with it?'
hvd.32044086835816	t."Your servant, did you say, sir?"
hvd.32044086835816	they do n't think I killed her?"
hvd.hwspnw	Is it possible?
hvd.hwspnw	Well, what is it?' hvd.hwspnw Yes, yes, ” said Master.Martin,"you may in truth believe it; can I do any other since you have fulfilled my old grandmother's prophecy?
hvd.hwspnw	You say you went with him, how then were you not able to keep off the murderer, or hold him fast, or cry out for help?' hvd.hwspnw 'So then you will let my poor Antonio die?' hvd.hwspnw 'Somebody attempted to rob him?' hvd.hwspnw * For God's sake, what do you want?' hvd.hwspnw 193 out in the streets at so late an hour?' hvd.hwspnw 199 “ What spirit of darkness is it which has entangled me in this terrible affair? hvd.hwspnw 211 a sharp tone, piercing me through and through with his glittering eyes;'do you hesitate? hvd.hwspnw 229 “ Olivier Brusson?-that most unhappy of mortals? hvd.hwspnw 229 “ Olivier Brusson?-that most unhappy of mortals? hvd.hwspnw 231 deaths? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw ? hvd.hwspnw A pupil of Exili, like La Croix, she, like him, concocted the same subtle poison that killed and left no trace behind it; and so? hvd.hwspnw After Herr Vollrad had sung several? hvd.hwspnw And Madelon? hvd.hwspnw And so, kindly reader, if you ever ask a pretty child in Bamberg, “ What is your name, my little angel?
hvd.hwspnw	And the painter was right, was he not, Frederick?
hvd.hwspnw	And the youth Jonathan?
hvd.hwspnw	And what is my art against yours?
hvd.hwspnw	And what makes you think of giving me such an over- rich present?
hvd.hwspnw	And what more could we indeed compel you to do?"
hvd.hwspnw	And when he presses her to his benumbed bosom, when a gentle glow pervades his veins, where then is his ice and his snow?
hvd.hwspnw	And why, O golden skirts of sky, Look ye so kindly down on me?
hvd.hwspnw	Are we on the islands?
hvd.hwspnw	Are you mad? ” cried La Regnie, taking a couple of steps backwards and striking his hands together.
hvd.hwspnw	Are you speaking of the villain Cardillac's accomplice, Mademoiselle?
hvd.hwspnw	But upon whom does the friendly star of good fortune shine unchangeably with the same degree of splendour at all times?
hvd.hwspnw	But who can fathom the unsearchable depths in which the secret links of feeling are so strangely forged together as they were in Master Wacht's soul?
hvd.hwspnw	But why now weary the reader with all the minor details of the things that now took place one after the other?
hvd.hwspnw	Can there indeed remain traces of that which has vanished without leaving any sign behind it?"
hvd.hwspnw	Come, come, how can you think of despairing when you are in love?
hvd.hwspnw	Could the Junker then ever really love a poor maiden like me?
hvd.hwspnw	De Main- tenon softly whispered to Mademoiselle, “ Is n't she exactly like La Vallière,'the little thing?
hvd.hwspnw	Did I not tell you there was some mysterious magical power dwelling in me, which exercised an un- controllable supremacy over me?
hvd.hwspnw	Did you not a short time ago complete a handsome building which makes your house one of the ornaments of our renowned Imperial Town?'
hvd.hwspnw	Did you not your- self exhort the President to be human?
hvd.hwspnw	Do n't you believe, then, that when I set eyes on Rose the sluggish blood begins to leap in my old heart also?
hvd.hwspnw	Do n't you carry your head as erect and walk with as firm a step as you did forty summers ago?
hvd.hwspnw	Do n't you know that a faro- banker never dare lend of his winnings?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you desire that your president possess money and goods?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you hear the whisperings of the night- winds?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you hesitate to take up arms against a despotic caste whose cruelty robbed you of a father?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you not feel as if you were entering a deserted house?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you think we've nothing to do but to fix the staves into the trestles( hoops), so that the cask may hold together?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you want to make a fool of me, you fearful woman, till some insane attempt hurries me to destruction?
hvd.hwspnw	Do you want to rouse her up out of her sweet sleep?'.
hvd.hwspnw	Does your scarce- healed wound hurt you still?'
hvd.hwspnw	For I must positively speak with your mistress, and this very minute. ” “ Whatever are you thinking about?
hvd.hwspnw	For whom does the golden flower of hope blossom if not for the lover?
hvd.hwspnw	Frederick, my good lad, have you come home again?
hvd.hwspnw	God! ” whined the old dame, a prey to un- speakable pain, “ what fiendish spirit of darkness has put such fearful thoughts into your head?
hvd.hwspnw	Has a jour- neyman been preparing these staves for his “ mastership,'or a stupid apprentice who only put his nose into the workshop three days ago?
hvd.hwspnw	Has any man ever loved as I do?
hvd.hwspnw	Have I then gone and acted with wrong and foolish levity like some young giddy thing?
hvd.hwspnw	Have you any doubts now as to my being a comrade?
hvd.hwspnw	Have you got a clue? ” cried the President.
hvd.hwspnw	Have you lost your tongue?
hvd.hwspnw	Have you not your Angela?
hvd.hwspnw	Have you nothing to say?
hvd.hwspnw	Have you really lost everything- everything, really?
hvd.hwspnw	Her tears are only shed for this murderous rascal. ” “ What do you say? ” screamed De Scudéri; “ it can not possibly be.
hvd.hwspnw	His eyes were fixedly bent upon his platc; how could he possi- bly dream of eating the least morsel?
hvd.hwspnw	How came I ever to turn away from my divine art?
hvd.hwspnw	How can I describe to you, old woman, this moment of re- awakening?
hvd.hwspnw	How else than in this way could the narrator sketch the dear, darling child?
hvd.hwspnw	How indeed can the divine being whom I carry in my heart ever be my wife?
hvd.hwspnw	How long is it since Nenolo was married?
hvd.hwspnw	How much farther do you intend to travel to- day? ” Frederick replied, “ Yonder lies the goal of my journey before our eyes.
hvd.hwspnw	How would it be if you came back to work in my shop?
hvd.hwspnw	I bid you good hail, Master Martin. ” “ Well, and what do you want from Master Martin?"
hvd.hwspnw	I infer it from your style of modelling; or perhaps you are a worker in gold and silver?"
hvd.hwspnw	I presume you will allow my daughter to take her clothing with her?'
hvd.hwspnw	I shall look down upon you- eh?
hvd.hwspnw	I thought you might take up the suit; you might play a part in it yourself; perhaps I have chcated you as well?"
hvd.hwspnw	In'Volun- tary Singing''I either got into false'appendages,'?
hvd.hwspnw	Is it not the same with you, comrade?
hvd.hwspnw	Listen to the gentle splashing of the wavelets; are they not words of love which she is whispering to the husband who rules her?
hvd.hwspnw	Marry, how can you fancy lying in the arms of such a bride- of such a wild, wayward thing?
hvd.hwspnw	Mars to this Vulcan, let the consequences be what they might?
hvd.hwspnw	Must I then endure this in my old age?
hvd.hwspnw	O God, are words let fall half in jest capable of being stamped with such an atrocious inter- pretation?
hvd.hwspnw	O good Lord of all, what lovely angel of light is this, who is coming to meet you with such grace and such a bright starry smile?
hvd.hwspnw	O swelling bosom, wilt thou burst?
hvd.hwspnw	On the way the old woman muttered softly and sol- emnly, “ Antonio, do you see these dark stains of blood here on the ground?
hvd.hwspnw	Ought there to be any room in noble minds for petty envy or malicious hate? ” “ Never, certainly not, ” replied Frederick.
hvd.hwspnw	Pull yourself together, lad: what devil has entered into you that you are making a bungle of things like this?
hvd.hwspnw	Rose will be yours; how came I, unhappy wretch that I am, ever to hope for such happiness?"
hvd.hwspnw	Rose, so Reinhold is the favourite then?
hvd.hwspnw	She, she alone had brought all this about, she had saved the Chevalier from ruin — could anything be more flattering to her woman's vanity?
hvd.hwspnw	So softly and like friends together?
hvd.hwspnw	Soon after passing his"referendary ” examination, he was moved to the Supreme Court at Berlin, as a consequence of the promotion?
hvd.hwspnw	Speak out boldly?'
hvd.hwspnw	Spirits alive to all that goes forward, who can never meet anybody without asking eagerly, “ Where- ever has he been?
hvd.hwspnw	That he be the most skil- ful in workmanship?
hvd.hwspnw	That's how you reward me?"
hvd.hwspnw	The person below replied, “ Does Destiny, then, heed times and hours when it strikes, like the fatal flash, fraught with destruction?
hvd.hwspnw	Then for the first time will you be able to grasp the profound significance of?
hvd.hwspnw	Then he found his voice, “ O my dear master, is it all really true?
hvd.hwspnw	Then said the elder, “ And did not you too stand by me with invaluable counsel?
hvd.hwspnw	These Meistersinger technical terms( or slang?)
hvd.hwspnw	This, however, was a most formidable difficulty, for who knew the Count in this district?
hvd.hwspnw	Valentine dead? ” cried Master Martin, greatly startled.
hvd.hwspnw	Well, and what's to be done now?'
hvd.hwspnw	Well, how was it, youngster?
hvd.hwspnw	What are my father's and my uncle's and my husband's death in comparison with the blissful joy of your love?
hvd.hwspnw	What are we thinking about?
hvd.hwspnw	What do you look for in your president?
hvd.hwspnw	What does a dead man want diamonds for?"
hvd.hwspnw	What does she care about her father's death?
hvd.hwspnw	What else could they now do but calmly wait for the king's decision?
hvd.hwspnw	What have we, you and I, to do with years and their burdens?
hvd.hwspnw	What is my merit in comparison with that of my friend?
hvd.hwspnw	What need have we of money and prop- erty?
hvd.hwspnw	What news?
hvd.hwspnw	What on earth could I do if I did n't want her to die away in despair?
hvd.hwspnw	What work is this, Frederick?
hvd.hwspnw	What's all this about?"
hvd.hwspnw	What?'
hvd.hwspnw	When Hitzig entered the room after the terrible operation was over, Hoff- mann cried, “ Can you smell the flavour of roast meat?"
hvd.hwspnw	When there is but a single moment longer in which rescue is still possible, ought assistance to be delayed?
hvd.hwspnw	When they saw me they asked who I was, and what I was doing there?
hvd.hwspnw	Where can I find time to write, to sketch, to compose music?
hvd.hwspnw	Where was their unconstrained conversation, their bright good spirits, where their cheerfulness?
hvd.hwspnw	Where were they to find a man who could seize the unguided helm and direct the bark of the state aright?
hvd.hwspnw	Wherever is he going?
hvd.hwspnw	Who knows what sort of an intrigue Jonathan has got entangled in with the stranger, thinking it will bring him money, and be to his advantage? ”.
hvd.hwspnw	Who knows whether it is not some poor man being pursued and wants protection from Mademoiselle, who is always ready to do an act of kindness?
hvd.hwspnw	Who refuses to take the reward of his honest labour?
hvd.hwspnw	Who turns away from his threshold the de- faulting debtor when at length he comes to pay his long- standing debt?
hvd.hwspnw	Whom do I come from?
hvd.hwspnw	Why lose heart so quickly?
hvd.hwspnw	Why should the reader be longer wearied with Leberfink's and Rettel's folly?
hvd.hwspnw	Why whisper ye, ye darksome trees?
hvd.hwspnw	Will not Angela sustain you and tend you?
hvd.hwspnw	Will you have a president who is respected by noble and base- born alike?
hvd.hwspnw	Would an entire Vesuvius of fiery passion suffice to warm the icy bosom of such a false bride as that?
hvd.hwspnw	Would it become me at my years to trick myself out with such bright gems?
hvd.hwspnw	Would you believe it, Chevalier?
hvd.hwspnw	You say you are eighty years old; that is true; but do you measure old age then by years merely?
hvd.hwspnw	You think they have designs upon my life?
hvd.hwspnw	You will come, wo n't you, Nanni, my darling?
hvd.hwspnw	You will give me Rose to wife, and I may go back to my art?"
hvd.hwspnw	Young man, what are you about here?-Are you one of the band?-Away with him!!
hvd.hwspnw	Young man, what are you about here?-Are you one of the band?-Away with him!!
hvd.hwspnw	Your husband got his dangerous wound whilst working for me, and do you think I am going to let you perish of want?

hvd.hwspnw	but who will answer to me for it that she also is not an accomplice in the plot?
hvd.hwspnw	common things, are they?
hvd.hwspnw	did I not tell you?
hvd.hwspnw	do a murderous deed for others? ” asked De Scudéri, utterly astounded.
hvd.hwspnw	do n't you see that lovely Annunciata loves you with all the intensity, with all the agonised love of which a woman's heart is capable?
hvd.hwspnw	do you mean to break my cask in pieces? ” “ Ho!
hvd.hwspnw	exposing your life to danger, would it not be more agreeable to you? ” “ Why, of course, ” and Pietro burst into a good hearty laugh.
hvd.hwspnw	good heavens, Signor Vertua, is that you at last?
hvd.hwspnw	he who helped him in his evil deeds?
hvd.hwspnw	hi! ” chuckled the old woman; “ why do you begin to despair so soon?
hvd.hwspnw	honoured, highly esteemed lady, can you have lost all traces of recollection of me?"
hvd.hwspnw	how can I have gained the prize?
hvd.hwspnw	how can this cold treacherous water be your bride?
hvd.hwspnw	is it possible?
hvd.hwspnw	is my wife a slave, exposed as a mere thing to the brutal arbitrariness of a reprobate man, that he may trade with her, gamble with her?
hvd.hwspnw	keep your gold in your purse, ” chuckled and laughed the old woman; “ what should I do with your money?
hvd.hwspnw	lows all making love to you?
hvd.hwspnw	my Anne's son?
hvd.hwspnw	my comical little master, and why should I not?"
hvd.hwspnw	my dear sir, how can you notice such trifling?
hvd.hwspnw	my good sirs, has it then occurred to you at last that I- I must be president of our honourable guild?
hvd.hwspnw	neck with glittering ornaments?"
hvd.hwspnw	noble lady, how can you say so?
hvd.hwspnw	noble lady,'said I,'what misfortune has happened to you?
hvd.hwspnw	rejoined Miossens, “ innocent?
hvd.hwspnw	the accursed murderer! ” At length Desgrais appeared on the scene with a strong body of police, who formed a passage?
hvd.hwspnw	the longing moaning swell of the sea?
hvd.hwspnw	what am I in comparison with you?
hvd.hwspnw	what are you doing, my good Herr Leberfink?
hvd.hwspnw	what did I feel when I saw the sweet angel?
hvd.hwspnw	what does it all mean? ” said De Scuderi.
hvd.hwspnw	what have I done? ” and away he rushed out of the shop.
hvd.hwspnw	what in the world has happened to our dear darling?
hvd.hwspnw	what's happened to the man?"
hvd.hwspnw	where have I been?"
hvd.hwspnw	who was not entangled in some clandestine intrigue, and stole to his mistress at a late hour, often carrying a valuable present about him?
hvd.hwspnw	your niece? ” interrupted Falieri.
hvd.hwspnw	‘ Do n't you know I'm Antonio, and belong to the house?'
hvd.hwspnw	“ And could I be allowed to see this unhappy Olivier Brusson?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ And the girl?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ But is n't that a risky and break- neck adventure, Pietro, my friend?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ But what is it for?
hvd.hwspnw	“ But who is this paragon of loveliness of whom you are speaking?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ But why, in the name of wonder, at such a distance?'
hvd.hwspnw	“ But would not his daughter inherit everything? ” continued De Scudéri.
hvd.hwspnw	“ But you have never before known him to leave the house after nine o'clock in the evening, have you?'
hvd.hwspnw	“ But, Master Cardillac, recollect that my wedding is to- morrow. ”—“But what have I to do with your wedding?
hvd.hwspnw	“ Come now, ” cried Master Wacht, “ come now, friend Le- berfink, out with it — what is it that is making your heart burst?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ Do you hesitate?'
hvd.hwspnw	“ For God's sake, what has happened?
hvd.hwspnw	“ Has Angela ever enjoyed sweet sleep since you brought all this name- less misery upon her?'
hvd.hwspnw	“ In the name of all the saints! ” he began, “ tell me, Dame Martin- ière, what has happened?
hvd.hwspnw	“ O star of the gloaming eve! ” Would not Nanni's tears flow when her attractive writing- master began in this low and sol- emn fashion?
hvd.hwspnw	“ Share?
hvd.hwspnw	“ Then you have com- pletely forgotten Anne Guiot?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ What are you doing?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ What can be the matter with our Jonathan?
hvd.hwspnw	“ What do you mean, Mademoiselle?
hvd.hwspnw	“ What do you say?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ What! ” said Master Martin, “ what do you think of me then?
hvd.hwspnw	“ What's the matter with my dear child?"
hvd.hwspnw	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hwspnw	“ Whatever are you thinking about,'rejoined the Chevalier,'whatever are you thinking about, Signor Vertua?
hvd.hwspnw	“ You may also take your beds and other necessary household utensils, and such like; for what could I do with all the old lumber?
hvd.hwspnw	“ You want to speak to Mademoiselle in the middle of the night?

hvd.hx31z9	About half- past seven. ” “ And at that time she went to her room?
hvd.hx31z9	Ah, Mademoiselle,he said,"that just brings me to the point to which I was referring — that very'plaît- il?
hvd.hx31z9	And he was running? ”Well yes”—with a slight hesitation-"yes, I should say as he was running. ”"But what doubt could you have about it?"
hvd.hx31z9	And he was running? ”Well yes”—with a slight hesitation-"yes, I should say as he was running. ”"But what doubt could you have about it?"
hvd.hx31z9	And how did he look, Mademoiselle- Sir Ralph? ”He was white, ” said Céleste.
hvd.hx31z9	And if he was running, how was it that he did n't run into you — that you did n't catch him?
hvd.hx31z9	And now, how about her ladyship? hvd.hx31z9 And still, Monsieur,"she said, “ I might answer ‘ Plaît- il?'
hvd.hx31z9	And the difference in age was considerable, eh? ” Crisp suggested. hvd.hx31z9 And the door was shut- yes?"
hvd.hx31z9	And the last time that he was down here? ” he asked. hvd.hx31z9 And was there anyone had her ladyship an enemy? ”"Not that I am at all aware of- and I think I should have known it if she had."
hvd.hx31z9	And was there one rather than another of the young fellows that she seemed to like to be admired by?
hvd.hx31z9	And was this person, whom you recognised as Captain Vibart, still looking down the path when you went on, on your way home? ”. hvd.hx31z9 And what did the note contain? ” Sergeant Crisp asked.
hvd.hx31z9	And what did you do you and Heasden? hvd.hx31z9 And what did you see in the shrubbery, Mr. Live- say?"
hvd.hx31z9	And what time would that have been?
hvd.hx31z9	As if he was expecting someone?
hvd.hx31z9	Between the wind and his majesty?
hvd.hx31z9	But did it not strike you so at the time, Mr. Live- say?
hvd.hx31z9	But the dog? ” he enquired. hvd.hx31z9 But, then, if that's so, why is it that you're telling me all about it now, like this?"
hvd.hx31z9	Certainly that is my idea. ”But why do you suppose that he should have done it- why?
hvd.hx31z9	Did Sir Ralph seem fond of her? ” the detective asked. hvd.hx31z9 Did he have anything in his hand?''
hvd.hx31z9	Did n't it seem to you queer, Mademoiselle being out as late as that? ” Heasden was considerably confused. hvd.hx31z9 Did they? ” said Livesay.
hvd.hx31z9	D’you mean to say,he exclaimed, “ that I am not at liberty to take her back and lay her on her own bed?
hvd.hx31z9	Had you ever any suspicion of Heasden?
hvd.hx31z9	He had got a sight of you and was running away from you? ”Why no, ” said Livesay in rather a puzzled way.
hvd.hx31z9	He is the one that milady found in the shrubbery after the rabbits, is it not?
hvd.hx31z9	He was running already, was he?
hvd.hx31z9	How about the dog?
hvd.hx31z9	How was he looking? ” Crisp asked then. hvd.hx31z9 I asked, if you will recall it,'At what time did you see Jim Heasden last night?'
hvd.hx31z9	If you was to say to me ‘ George Live- say, would you go into court and swear as you see Jim Heasden running from the summer- house?' hvd.hx31z9 In case we arrest Jim Heasden? ” Larncombe ex- claimed, all aglow with excitment.
hvd.hx31z9	Is what possible, Mademoiselle?
hvd.hx31z9	It's something the same as being a detective, is n't it? hvd.hx31z9 Monsieur can ask'What then?'
hvd.hx31z9	No one, ” the Sergeant con- tinued, “ in the shrubbery at all that night except him?
hvd.hx31z9	No use of course?
hvd.hx31z9	No,I repeated, “ I do n't believe for a minute he did it. ”"But, may I ask, ” he said,"have you any reason? ” “ Yes,"I said, “ I have.
hvd.hx31z9	Not in bed? hvd.hx31z9 Not this man Heasden, for instance?"
hvd.hx31z9	Now could you, ” he asked,get me one of her ladyship's shoes, to compare with this one?
hvd.hx31z9	Of what value? hvd.hx31z9 Oh, then Sir Ralph objected to them sometimes, did he to all these young men who came about the house? ” “ Oh, well,'objected'!
hvd.hx31z9	On Thursday they were happy, were they? ” Crisp put in. hvd.hx31z9 Or'it may have been half- past?".
hvd.hx31z9	Perhaps two? ” The question was the first that seemed to embarrass him at all. hvd.hx31z9 Roughly then- between eleven and twelve?"
hvd.hx31z9	Shall I come? hvd.hx31z9 So when you had lost him in the bushes, what did you do?"
hvd.hx31z9	Something then is accounted for,the Sergeant observed, “ but in that case where is the other key- that which her ladyship had?
hvd.hx31z9	Spoilt her, did he- Sir Ralph? ”. hvd.hx31z9 That ringing- what did it mean?
hvd.hx31z9	Well, I come there about eleven o'clock. ” “ And went into the summer- house? ” “ No, certainly not, ” said Livesay, with indignation. hvd.hx31z9 Well, what happened when you got to the house? ” Livesay had noticed nothing remarkable.
hvd.hx31z9	Well? ” he said, rather impatiently. hvd.hx31z9 Were you not very cold driving? ” “ Not so very."
hvd.hx31z9	What has been moved since you saw the body first? ” the Sergeant asked Larncombe. hvd.hx31z9 What is her age? ” “ She'll be twenty- two come the ninth of February."
hvd.hx31z9	What made me think? hvd.hx31z9 What then?
hvd.hx31z9	What's the sense of that- in a manner of saying? ” the detective asked sharply. hvd.hx31z9 What?"
hvd.hx31z9	When the deuce d'you think the fellow's going? ” Uncle had said to me on the Wednesday, and I could give him no information. hvd.hx31z9 You and Sir Ralph, your uncle, dined alone?"
hvd.hx31z9	You did not attempt to go down to the house? ”. hvd.hx31z9 You saw no one that he was running from? ” Live- say shook his head.
hvd.hx31z9	You were very much attached to her ladyship?
hvd.hx31z9	'Tisn't likely as I'd go to windward. ”"Oh, ” Crisp said, innocently,"you were looking out for some one, were you? ”"Of course I was.
hvd.hx31z9	'Twas her ladyship as told me, now I come to think of it. ”"Oh, her ladyship was it?
hvd.hx31z9	( How had he known I thought it funny- I had not told him so?)
hvd.hx31z9	-Céleste appealed to monsieur- to win milady's thoughts back from the Captain, if that had been in any way possible?
hvd.hx31z9	Ah monsieur, who could have done this thing — so cruel?
hvd.hx31z9	All he said was: “ You there, Netty?"
hvd.hx31z9	And Monsieur has forgiven, has he not? ” “ But even now, Mademoiselle,"the Sergeant went on in his insistent way,"have you confessed every- thing?
hvd.hx31z9	And Monsieur has forgiven, has he not? ” “ But even now, Mademoiselle,"the Sergeant went on in his insistent way,"have you confessed every- thing?
hvd.hx31z9	And at least, he argued, what harm could there be — how could the poor clay lie better than in this peaceful house in the woods?
hvd.hx31z9	And he had not heard a sound?
hvd.hx31z9	And that was not the way, was it?
hvd.hx31z9	And what then?
hvd.hx31z9	And you thought he was poaching?"
hvd.hx31z9	Are you quite sure of that? ” The doctor looked nettled.
hvd.hx31z9	At close on midnight?"
hvd.hx31z9	At length my uncle said testily:"Well, what is it?"
hvd.hx31z9	At what hour was it that you saw the body? ”"Approximately, half an hour after midnight."
hvd.hx31z9	But did mon- sieur think that she ought to say?
hvd.hx31z9	But how was his name any the less likely to be brought in because he himself was abroad?
hvd.hx31z9	But if it was not Uncle who else could it have been? ” “ Ah, we will come to that immediately, if you please.
hvd.hx31z9	But if you was to say to me'George Livesay, would you go into court and swear as you seed Jim Heasden runing out of the summer- house?'
hvd.hx31z9	But is it not enough?
hvd.hx31z9	But is it possible?
hvd.hx31z9	But now, to come down to last night — how was it that you began to think that Heasden was in the shrubbery?
hvd.hx31z9	But of what value is it?"
hvd.hx31z9	But tell me, when he reached the summer- house, what did he do then? ”"Just stood and looked.
hvd.hx31z9	But you are not going to find a motive for murder in that?"
hvd.hx31z9	By- the- bye, what time was it?"
hvd.hx31z9	Did Jim Heasden tell you?"
hvd.hx31z9	Did Lady Carlton ever have any words with him at any time? ” “ Once she caught him trespassing and gave it to him for it, I know.
hvd.hx31z9	Did he not see you? ”:"No, we were in the shadow of the trees, and he passed by."
hvd.hx31z9	Did n't you open it and look in?"
hvd.hx31z9	Did not Céleste, on consideration, agree with him?
hvd.hx31z9	Did she seem very angry about it?"
hvd.hx31z9	Did you often see her ladyship?"
hvd.hx31z9	Does it not seem strange?
hvd.hx31z9	For what other purpose were these two rugs which he admitted to have brought?
hvd.hx31z9	Had he not been looking, with those gimletty eyes of his, all the while, for a long, a very long half hour and more?
hvd.hx31z9	Had he pre- sumed too far?
hvd.hx31z9	Had she, resisting his presumption, raised his hot gypsy blood to rage and had he struck, in blind fury?
hvd.hx31z9	Have you been penitent for everything?
hvd.hx31z9	He cackled, with a real appreciation of the excellent piece of acting in that: “ Plaît- il? ” but he did not trouble to answer it otherwise.
hvd.hx31z9	He had made a mistake in his judgment of her psychology and knew it even before she answered with a perfectly recovered demureness:"Plaît- il?"
hvd.hx31z9	He turned and went back down the path to the summer- house again. ”"You did not watch him, to see whether he went into the summer- house? ”.
hvd.hx31z9	He walked quickly. ” “ And what had he in his hand, what was he hold- ing?"
hvd.hx31z9	Her ladyship told me so herself. ” “ Ah, did she?
hvd.hx31z9	How did you find the conservatory door when you went out?
hvd.hx31z9	How then did she make her exit?

hvd.hx31z9	I was looking out for Jim Heas- den of course. ”"Ah- but what made you think he was likely to be there?"
hvd.hx31z9	I was quite warm. ” “ And these rugs — they were in the car or did you bring them to the garage from your rooms? ”"Neither.

hvd.hx31z9	Is that a probable statement?
hvd.hx31z9	It was with a great effort that I gasped out the entirely foolish question:"Good Heavens, Uncle Ralph, what is it?

hvd.hx31z9	My uncle held the door open, with a studious politeness, for Captain Vibart, and said, in a strained compressed way:"Oh, is Enid not here?

hvd.hx31z9	Of course I did not know that, but what else could he be sitting in the summer- house there for, except to see her?
hvd.hx31z9	Of course I had not seen the doctor, as he was always out when I tried to find him. ” “ And now?"

hvd.hx31z9	Then again, on the quite impossible hypothesis of the innocence of the accused, what conceivable motive could there be for his hurried flight?
hvd.hx31z9	Then he added: “ Well- you went to look at your snares — and what then?"

hvd.hnqp75	285 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM « That's all you can tell us?"
hvd.hnqp75	297 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM “ Why did you run away, Wilkins?"

hvd.hnqp75	34 THE BOX OF THE GOLDEN SERPENTS “ Oh, Maxwell, will you get me a wrap?
hvd.hnqp75	37 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM “ Do you know,"Fanny said, breaking the silence suddenly, “ how nice it is to know a man like you?"
hvd.hnqp75	38 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM “ How did you guess?
hvd.hnqp75	54 FANNY FOCUSSES ATTENTION “ Why sit here stabbing those present, ” she asked pointedly, “ when it is much easier to slander the absent?"
hvd.hnqp75	6 Do n't we count? ” “ Of course you do, Alfred.
hvd.hnqp75	6 What did Mrs. Cutshaw say?
hvd.hnqp75	6 What do you think about it, Maxwell? ” “ I have no opinion, sir."
hvd.hnqp75	6 What for? ” “ The same reason thousands of people did; to see the fire. ” 6 Well, that does n't explain your staying out all night."
hvd.hnqp75	6 What's wanted? ” “ It's Mr. Carrington, sir.
hvd.hnqp75	66 What?"
hvd.hnqp75	69 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM"Then nobody saw her after that? ” pursued Dr. Ben, putting the question generally.
hvd.hnqp75	A cocktail? ” Her hand was extended for the bell.
hvd.hnqp75	A pause, and then she said: “ I feared the same for you. ” « But why?"
hvd.hnqp75	A pretty ankle?"
hvd.hnqp75	A youngish woman with considerable dirt and good looks held the reins. ” “ Is that all?
hvd.hnqp75	About what time do you think it was when you left her? ” “ I did n't look at my watch afterward.
hvd.hnqp75	After a moment's silence she met his unspoken inquiry with a counter- question: “ Do you believe thinking of a thing can make you see it?"
hvd.hnqp75	Am I forgiven, Dicky? ” “ Please forgive me, ” he said impulsively.
hvd.hnqp75	Amy and Roger, who had slipped in quietly, occupied a window- seat 66 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM “ And after that?"
hvd.hnqp75	And I might as well have it as anybody else. ” “ What did happen to him, Maxwell?
hvd.hnqp75	And ca n't you give me a few minutes this morning?
hvd.hnqp75	And for what?
hvd.hnqp75	And is protected at her altar by snakes of gold? ” “ But you do n't take any stock in magic!
hvd.hnqp75	And it does n't 181 IN PERSISTENT MISUNDERSTANDING “ How do I know?
hvd.hnqp75	And it is the place. ” The time and the place for whom?
hvd.hnqp75	And no injury you noted? ” “ No. ” “ Now, Mrs. Hamlin, ca n't you tell us why you went to Mrs. Cutshaw's room?"
hvd.hnqp75	And no injury you noted? ” “ No. ” “ Now, Mrs. Hamlin, ca n't you tell us why you went to Mrs. Cutshaw's room?"
hvd.hnqp75	And of “ Jim ” — What had he to do with her end?
hvd.hnqp75	And was she not more beautiful?
hvd.hnqp75	And what of Carlotta?
hvd.hnqp75	And what was there to prove my story?
hvd.hnqp75	And when was it?"
hvd.hnqp75	And where? ” “ There'll be a way. ” Marston visualized himself as a performer in some duly rehearsed tragedy.
hvd.hnqp75	And who thought him important enough to justify another killing?
hvd.hnqp75	And with difficulty he refrained from adding: “ Did you? ” Carlotta ostentatiously turned a page, and began reading.
hvd.hnqp75	Any of you ever read it?
hvd.hnqp75	Are you going to drive us back to be roasted?"
hvd.hnqp75	As Maxwell placed the tray, and paused to ask, “ Is there anything else I can get for you, sir? ” he studied the butler's face.
hvd.hnqp75	As he did so something fell from an 307 MAXWELL MEETS THE EMERGENCY the chair, and the rose- bushes? ” Marston inter- jected.
hvd.hnqp75	As it scorched them he flung it away, with an added word:"How? ” “ By a stab at the base of the brain."
hvd.hnqp75	As they reached the steps he said, with his usual formality: “ May I bring you something before you retire, sir?
hvd.hnqp75	Be a man, ca n't you? ” Mar- ston had lost his temper.
hvd.hnqp75	Because she asked me to come. ” “ But what did she want of you?"
hvd.hnqp75	But I thought I heard the key turn as I went down the hall. ” “ You told your mistress about this, Fifi? ” “ Oh, no, sir. ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hnqp75	But I thought I heard the key turn as I went down the hall. ” “ You told your mistress about this, Fifi? ” “ Oh, no, sir. ” “ Why not?"
hvd.hnqp75	But if we are all to be cross- examined, it may as well be done in a proper way, and in accordance with rules of evidence. ”"Are you a lawyer?"
hvd.hnqp75	But were n't we talking of'La Tosca'?"
hvd.hnqp75	But what of the visitors of the night, the strange aviators of foreign look and accent?
hvd.hnqp75	CHAPTER V. DR. BEN SEEKS A CLUE “ Who's here? ” asked a brisk voice.
hvd.hnqp75	Ca n't you see? ” Marston's voice was sharp in overstrain.
hvd.hnqp75	Can you? ” “ But surely there is someone"“ No one till dinner.
hvd.hnqp75	Can you? ” “ I've no idea, ” Marston answered hastily, with a protective feeling he did not analyze.
hvd.hnqp75	Could it be?
hvd.hnqp75	Cutshaw was murdered. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Absolutely sure.
hvd.hnqp75	Cutshaw?"
hvd.hnqp75	Cutshaw?"
hvd.hnqp75	Dicky,"with an earnest accent, “ I think Carlotta likes you very much. ” “ You do?
hvd.hnqp75	Did I get your names mixed? ” as Mrs. Carrington corrected him.
hvd.hnqp75	Did Marston know Lady So- and- So?
hvd.hnqp75	Did any of you ever see a buttercup tree?
hvd.hnqp75	Did he come with good references? ” “ He had been longer than that with Ned Hunt.
hvd.hnqp75	Did he doubt it?
hvd.hnqp75	Did he hurt you much? ” “ Not seriously, ” he assured her, with a little thrill of pleasure at her solicitude."
hvd.hnqp75	Did he not know of her death?
hvd.hnqp75	Did it stir?
hvd.hnqp75	Did it?"
hvd.hnqp75	Did you say you were alone? ” “ Yes, unfortunately."
hvd.hnqp75	Do n't you think so?"
hvd.hnqp75	Do n't you think we ought to be going back? ” “ I'm afraid I have taken you too far,"he re- plied contritely.
hvd.hnqp75	Do n't you want to smoke? ” “ Not unless you wish me to.
hvd.hnqp75	Do you care for a top- coat?"
hvd.hnqp75	Do you care so much about everybody's wrongs? ” “ Why — ” he began, then looked at her half- suspicious.
hvd.hnqp75	Do you come as a detective, or a suspect? ” “ Neither. ” Marston tried for an impassive air.
hvd.hnqp75	Do you mind telling me about it?"
hvd.hnqp75	Do you mind? ”"Anything to oblige, ” Marston agreed.
hvd.hnqp75	Do you think the bookcase will walk away? ” “ No,"said Marston somewhat lamely.
hvd.hnqp75	Do you understand? ” “ Yes, sir, ” very soberly.
hvd.hnqp75	Do you?"
hvd.hnqp75	For Carrington's voice came over his head: “ What the devil are you doing, Dick?"
hvd.hnqp75	Gen- eral,"she continued, “ wo n't you show me that map?
hvd.hnqp75	Got'em handy? ” “ Smith will go and,-yes, you, Maxwell.
hvd.hnqp75	Had breakfast?"
hvd.hnqp75	Had he ever met the famous Mrs. Blish of Cairo?
hvd.hnqp75	Had his stealthy visit some bearing on Fanny's death?
hvd.hnqp75	Had she with her frail affections descended to blackmail?
hvd.hnqp75	Has anyone seen her to- day?"
hvd.hnqp75	Has he?"
hvd.hnqp75	Have you found out anything? ”"No,"said Marston with momentary hesitation.
hvd.hnqp75	He appealed again:“Won't you stay, and let me protect you?"
hvd.hnqp75	He hurled at her his first question: 6 Was n't you the last one with her? ” “ I ca n't tell. ” She met him calmly."
hvd.hnqp75	He hurled at her his first question: “ Was n't you the last one with her? ”"I ca n't tell. ” She met him calmly.
hvd.hnqp75	He recalled her obvious agitation; her anxious question as she stood there: “ Is it all right? ” What did she mean?
hvd.hnqp75	He recalled her obvious agitation; her anxious question as she stood there: “ Is it all right? ” What did she mean?
hvd.hnqp75	He tossed 126 TWISTED THREADS the fragments into the fireplace, as he put the next question: “ Does he suspect anyone?"
hvd.hnqp75	Helen, who was the fellow that had a case like this one?"
hvd.hnqp75	How could he get that?
hvd.hnqp75	How did you manage to tell her, most reticent of men?
hvd.hnqp75	How long ago did it happen?"
hvd.hnqp75	How old is she? ” Why did Carlotta blush?
hvd.hnqp75	How old is she? ” Why did Carlotta blush?
hvd.hnqp75	How old is she?"
hvd.hnqp75	How soon do you think we can get away? ” “ You can go now, if you want to, ” Marston ob- served.
hvd.hnqp75	I 192 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM What about this telephone to Saleport by some woman using your name? ” “ I have n't the slightest idea.
hvd.hnqp75	I burned what was left of the handkerchief before I went to bed. ” “ And afterward?"
hvd.hnqp75	I doubt if Mrs. Cutshaw knew what killed her. ” “ What do you think?"
hvd.hnqp75	I judge so from its color. ” “ May I pour you a glass? ” “ No, thank you.
hvd.hnqp75	I think I ought to climb down to look. ” “ What is the use? ” She pointed downward.
hvd.hnqp75	I'd rather go. ” “ But how?
hvd.hnqp75	In the Salome series? ” “ Yes, I know it. ” Her face showed mirthful ap- preciation.
hvd.hnqp75	In the library?
hvd.hnqp75	Is n't it 80, my dear? ” His manner was encouraging, almost paternal.
hvd.hnqp75	Is that so? ” “ He started out an hour ago, Mr. Carrington. ” “ Now, what I want is this.
hvd.hnqp75	Is there no way to prevent it?"
hvd.hnqp75	It beats all, do n't it? ”"It does seem strange, ” Marston allowed.
hvd.hnqp75	Know any of her relatives? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqp75	Marston?"
hvd.hnqp75	Mr. Marston — which one wears the sort of cloth you and I have just held in our hands? ” Marston did not answer.
hvd.hnqp75	Mrs. Cutshaw did not bring a maid. ” “ And last night was one of the times?"
hvd.hnqp75	Must I force you? ” Silence again, followed by slow retreating foot- steps.
hvd.hnqp75	No operator? ” “ No.
hvd.hnqp75	No wonder. ” 6 Then she has told you —? ” “ Everything.
hvd.hnqp75	No word was spoken as they marched, or when they paused, till the man by the machine addressed his companions: “ Have you not found him?"
hvd.hnqp75	No?
hvd.hnqp75	Nothing changed in the room, I suppose? ” His tone was sharply impersonal.
hvd.hnqp75	Now what do you say?"
hvd.hnqp75	Now what do you say?"
hvd.hnqp75	Now you have it all. ” “ What is your theory? ” asked Freddy- un- daunted.
hvd.hnqp75	Oh, that disappeared the night the In- dian did. ” “ Do you think he took it? ” Freddy persisted.
hvd.hnqp75	Only I'd say that he had n't any overcoat. ” “ Is that absolutely everything you can tell us? ” “ Everything, sir,"the butler affirmed.
hvd.hnqp75	Only it's a case of what we do n't know. ” “ You have n't a suspicion?
hvd.hnqp75	Or a brilliant effort to deceive?
hvd.hnqp75	Or did she dream dreadful dreams?
hvd.hnqp75	Or had his impression of eyes regarding him intently been only an optical delusion?
hvd.hnqp75	Or nasturtiums climbing into the branches of trees that showed thirty feet of clear trunk?
hvd.hnqp75	Or was he a commonplace criminal, hap- pening along, and far from highways of travel at that time?
hvd.hnqp75	Perhaps his question, “ Is she not well? ” was meant to throw inquirers off the scent.
hvd.hnqp75	Pres- ently he observed, in a casual tone: “ I suppose that was the last you saw of her, Mr. Marston? ” “ Yes, the last, ” Marston assented."
hvd.hnqp75	Seth, that's my man, found it when he turned the cows in this mornin'. ” “ Anybody hurt? ” “ That's the funniest part of it.
hvd.hnqp75	So I went in. ” “ You mean then? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ How did she seem, Fifi?"
hvd.hnqp75	So I went in. ” “ You mean then? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ How did she seem, Fifi?"
hvd.hnqp75	So you need n't dress. ” “ Do you mind if I stick to my room? ” Marston asked.
hvd.hnqp75	Some bacon and eggs, and a grape- fruit, with coffee?"
hvd.hnqp75	Sup- pose we have it carried to the garage, Alfred? ” 6 All right. ” “ Here, Smith, and Maxwell, and you,”—-motion- ing to the gardener."
hvd.hnqp75	The General countered with a question: “ Have you heard of Izana, the daughter of Vishnu, who plays with the sun as her golden ball?
hvd.hnqp75	The key, please?"
hvd.hnqp75	The perplexities of Carlotta?
hvd.hnqp75	Then Carrington said to the other two: “ What do you make of it?"
hvd.hnqp75	Then Marston turned to Carlotta with an abrupt ques- tion: “ Whose child is it? ” “ Fanny's,"she answered promptly.
hvd.hnqp75	Then he fixed upon Carlotta as a fresh victim to attack.."Let's see, your name is Mrs.-Hamlin?"
hvd.hnqp75	Then to Carlotta: “ Do n't you think we should go on now? ” He turned again to the woman: “ We are much indebted to you, Mrs. —?"
hvd.hnqp75	Then to Carlotta: “ Do n't you think we should go on now? ” He turned again to the woman: “ We are much indebted to you, Mrs. —?"
hvd.hnqp75	There is only one way to go. ” “ Have I hurt you much?
hvd.hnqp75	There was an airyplane fell right in our pasture. ” “ Did it?"
hvd.hnqp75	They separated before he died, and Fanny took up with a high caste Parsee. ” “ There? ” asked Marston, with a gesture toward the door.
hvd.hnqp75	Understand?"
hvd.hnqp75	Up there by the lake?
hvd.hnqp75	Was Carlotta, perhaps, preparing for dark days ahead?
hvd.hnqp75	Was a face suddenly withdrawn from the screen of tangled vines and bushes not many yards to the right?
hvd.hnqp75	Was he marked as one actively bent on detection of the murderer?
hvd.hnqp75	Was her sleep untroubled?
hvd.hnqp75	Was it a French plane, or Ameri- can?
hvd.hnqp75	Was it apprehension they expressed?
hvd.hnqp75	Was it defiance?
hvd.hnqp75	Was it mercurial temperament?
hvd.hnqp75	Was it pos- sible he had never eaten a salad at the Café de la Paix?
hvd.hnqp75	Was it some oppressor of the poor you waved your stick at so fiercely, Dicky?
hvd.hnqp75	Was n't you? ” The district attorney scowled.
hvd.hnqp75	Was she trying to conciliate him?
hvd.hnqp75	We do n't seem to have many mutual friends, do we?"
hvd.hnqp75	Were lids that shrouded the quiet eyes raised ever so 59 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM slightly?
hvd.hnqp75	What about Fanny was Carlotta afraid to discuss over the wire?
hvd.hnqp75	What did anybody think?
hvd.hnqp75	What did they suspect?
hvd.hnqp75	What do you make of that?"
hvd.hnqp75	What grudge had the Carringtons'faith- ful butler against the Carringtons'elderly and honored friend?
hvd.hnqp75	What had she to do with Catherine's rendezvous?
hvd.hnqp75	What interest, other than faithful service, could Carrington's veteran butler have in his em- ployer's elderly and distinguished friend?
hvd.hnqp75	What is it?"
hvd.hnqp75	What may I bring you, sir? ” “ Whatever you like. ” « Will you have it in the library? ” “ Yes, ” said Marston, heading that way.
hvd.hnqp75	What may I bring you, sir? ” “ Whatever you like. ” « Will you have it in the library? ” “ Yes, ” said Marston, heading that way.
hvd.hnqp75	What more natural than for a trusted servant, often in charge of the house dur- ing his employer's absence, to investigate a strange noise at night?
hvd.hnqp75	What then?
hvd.hnqp75	What was he, Mar- ston, supposed to know of such vital importance?
hvd.hnqp75	What was on the chiffonier?
hvd.hnqp75	What was the matter with Mrs. Cutshaw?
hvd.hnqp75	What was the use?
hvd.hnqp75	What was there between her and the Fanny of yesterday?
hvd.hnqp75	What were you out for, Maxwell?"
hvd.hnqp75	What will you smoke?
hvd.hnqp75	What's the latest?
hvd.hnqp75	What's this?"
hvd.hnqp75	When did you see that? ” Maxwell pointed to the Indian's body.
hvd.hnqp75	Where is Maxwell?"
hvd.hnqp75	Which are you- Watson or Holmes?"
hvd.hnqp75	While I was brushing her hair she told me to make sure the door was locked. ”"It was locked then?"
hvd.hnqp75	Who rose to meet him, in a far corner's candlelight?
hvd.hnqp75	Who shall be Salome?
hvd.hnqp75	Who was it she had promised to meet that day?
hvd.hnqp75	Who was “ Jim ”?
hvd.hnqp75	Whose child did she hold so tenderly?
hvd.hnqp75	Why did Carlotta blush?
hvd.hnqp75	Why did she ask it to call her “ Mother"?
hvd.hnqp75	Why had Fanny demanded money of him?
hvd.hnqp75	Why not? ” “ Because I do n't know."
hvd.hnqp75	Why should n't you let him know?"
hvd.hnqp75	Why?
hvd.hnqp75	Why? ” “ That's for you to find out.
hvd.hnqp75	Will you bring me a hammer and some nails?"
hvd.hnqp75	Will you send for Fifi and Maxwell, Helen?
hvd.hnqp75	With, “ Is there anything I can get for you, sir?"
hvd.hnqp75	Would it suit you? ” With a swift movement it was at his shoulder, ready for the imaginary game.
hvd.hnqp75	Yes? ” He surveyed Marston with the scornful detach- ment of a superior being.
hvd.hnqp75	You do n't like her, do you, Dicky?
hvd.hnqp75	You drink English break- fast tea? ” “ I like it very much, thank you."
hvd.hnqp75	You say the piece of yellow cloth you found was caught in the bush? ” “ Yes, ” said Marston.

hvd.hnqp75	« There were hard feelings between you? ” “ No,"she corrected him.
hvd.hnqp75	“ A precious souvenir?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ A woman, or a man?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ About a week before ” — Maxwell felt for the palliating word — “ before she died. ” 66 What else did he tell you?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ About breakfast?
hvd.hnqp75	“ About- your child? ” he pursued.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And if I did-? ”.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And its father-? ” “ He is. ” “ Then why keep it from him?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ And its father-? ” “ He is. ” “ Then why keep it from him?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ And she seemed well? ” Her voice sharpened in reply.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And this?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ And was n't she flustered afterward? ” “ I do n't know. ” Mr. Baumgarten became distinctly threatening.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And what made you think that? ” Marston shot his next question immediately.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And would you care for a dog? ” Marston looked uncertain.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And you did that for me?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ And you knifed a man, ” the General pressed on,"and ran away?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ And you never saw her afterward? ” “ No, sir. ” Fifi shivered, and her eyes filled with tears.
hvd.hnqp75	“ And you never saw her again, Maxwell?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ And you thought I had something to do with Fanny's death? ” “ I feared others would think so."
hvd.hnqp75	“ And you will do him no injury?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Any idea where Mrs. Hamlin is going, Farn- ham? ” Marston asked, as he rapidly put the ex- tended garments on.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Any luck?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Anybody down? ” “ Not yet, sir.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Anyway, I'm a democrat, Dicky. ” “ Is any woman a democrat? ” He regained for the moment something of the advocate's fervor.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Anyway,"he said, “ have n't I a right to keep it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Are n't you up rather late, or early? ” he said, speaking softly with an accent of jocularity.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Are we all here? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Are you goin'far? ” “ Not a great distance. ” It was Carlotta who answered.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Are you goin'far? ” “ Not a great distance."
hvd.hnqp75	“ Are you sure you have found your metier in 21 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM music, Freddy? ” inquired Marston.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Broken into? ” “ No,"Marston confessed.
hvd.hnqp75	“ But she did n't call you again? ” “ No, sir."
hvd.hnqp75	“ But why, ” in a final effort, “ all this secrecy?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ But you do dislike the General? ” There was no enlightenment in Maxwell's enig.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Can you get down to luncheon? ” asked Car- rington, looking at his watch.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Can you turn it at all? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Carlotta? ” Marston queried.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Could you swear it is the man you saw? ” ashed Marston.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did he say when he would get back?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did n't anybody sleep well last night? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you attend to it last night?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you come out for the moonlight?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you get up to see? ” “ No,"admitted Roger.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you hit anything but yourself? ” Carring- ton inquired, as he joined the group awaiting lunch.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you kill her with this?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you open it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you ring, sir? ” he inquired.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you speak to him?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you tell him we were playing? ” asked Car- rington, with an accent of reproof.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Did you throw away your hat?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do I understand you require a full explanation of my movements?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do a little scouting for us, wo n't you?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do n't you remember Schwartz? ” pressed Dr. Ben.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do n't you think we should be going on?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do n't you think we'll do well together? ” asked Carlotta, as they took their places.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do n't you think you might have better success as a nose specialist?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do what?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you love the fool? ” “ You are foolish.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you mean to drown me?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you object to my effort to help Dr. Ben, Al- fred?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you spy? ” The leader flung his question at Marston as an accusation.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you think I am made of stone? ” She flinched and half turned away.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you think you are trying a case with the General, Freddy?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you want company?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you want me to play bridge? ” “ No.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Do you want us? ” Carrington inquired.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Does anyone, ” he inquired, “ know as much about this man as the General knows about the box?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Has this thing gone to your 92 MARSTON IS TORTURED head?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Have n't I done what I could?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ How about a rub- ber?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ How about the rest of us? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ How did you happen to go there?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ How does it happen you know so much about what goes on in my house? ” Carrington cut in; he was obviously angry.
hvd.hnqp75	“ How does it happen you know so much about what goes on in my house? ” Carrington cut in; he was obviously angry.
hvd.hnqp75	“ How long have you had Maxwell, Al- fred?
hvd.hnqp75	“ I am going back to him. ” “ You will go to your room. ”"Are you my master? ” “ Physically, my dear Christine.
hvd.hnqp75	“ I can manage quite well with this stick. ” “ But are n't you imprudent? ”.
hvd.hnqp75	“ I performed the post- mortem on Mrs. Cutshaw, last night. ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ I suppose that is what you wanted to see me about?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ I suppose you killed him, too, Wilkins? ” the General interjected.
hvd.hnqp75	“ I suppose you regarded the call as urgent? ” “ Otherwise, I should not have gone."
hvd.hnqp75	“ I thought I would be suspected. ” “ Suspected of what? ”.
hvd.hnqp75	“ I trust Fanny is well?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ I wonder if we can get some breakfast here? ” “ You're from the city, I guess,"the woman said.
hvd.hnqp75	“ I wonder who has had a frock ruined? ” he said to himself, dropping the bit of cloth into a pocket.
hvd.hnqp75	“ I'm afraid. ” “ Afraid of what?
hvd.hnqp75	“ If I can be of service —?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is it Dr. Morrison? ” “ You guessed right.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is it all right?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is it far in now? ” he inquired of his unknown companion.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is n't this nice?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is she a friend of yours?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is that all you can tell us, Mrs. Hamlin?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Is there anything we can do?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ It is your name, is n't it? ” the General came in sharply.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Just what do you know about me, Alfred?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Leaving us, Carlotta? ” Carrington called, as she moved toward the door.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Let's see, your name is Mrs.-Hamlin? ” To Marston there was a suggestion of menace in the studious pause before her name.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Maxwell, will you tell Mrs. Hamlin lunch is served?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ May I bring you some breakfast now?
hvd.hnqp75	“ No luck, sir? ” he inquired, as he took charge of dog and gun.
hvd.hnqp75	“ No sign of illness?
hvd.hnqp75	“ No, master. ” “ Nor found you it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ No, sir, but he told Jackson to be ready to serve dinner. ” “ He did, eh? ” · Carrington meditated darkly.
hvd.hnqp75	“ No, sir. ” “ So you do n't know what was in it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ No?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Now I have answered for you all, who wants me to make a forecast for the afternoon?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Now what is your theory, Alfred?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Now, what did the woman want?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Now, what's this? ” He suddenly transferred his attention to the body on the floor.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Now,"he pursued in a businesslike way, “ where is the nearest bath- room? ” “ But why? ” She simulated alarm.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Now,"he pursued in a businesslike way, “ where is the nearest bath- room? ” “ But why? ” She simulated alarm.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Oh, Alfred, is n't there any shooting on your place?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Out all night? ” It was question turned into accusation.
hvd.hnqp75	“ See anything unusual?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Shall we rest here? ” he asked Carlotta, still mute as in their desperate dash through the flames.
hvd.hnqp75	“ She asked me to come. ” “ Do you mind telling us what she wanted?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ She called me to get a wrap, sir. ” 6 What time was it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ So you are the aviator?
hvd.hnqp75	“ So you doubt my word? ” Dr. Ben waited a full minute, or so it seemed, for Mr. Baumgarten's missing answer.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Suppose it is n't made at all?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Sure you're not giving secrets away?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Tell me, ” she said unsteadily, “ what is wrong? ” “ For God's sake, ” he said harshly, “ put it away."
hvd.hnqp75	“ That?
hvd.hnqp75	“ The undertaker has come. ” “ Does Mr. Carrington know? ” asked Marston.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Then it is n't fixed? ” “ No, Mrs. Hamlin.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Then you trust me? ” he pursued.
hvd.hnqp75	“ There were hard feelings between you? ” “ No,"she corrected him.
hvd.hnqp75	“ This time we tell?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ To put the box he gave me in her dresser, ” he said at length, “ and make sure it was covered up. ” “ Was that all?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Want to see it? ” Carrington extended a hand a little shaky.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Was n't you walking with the woman the night she was killed?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Was nothing better offered Mr.- Marston? ” 231 THE BODY IN THE BLUE ROOM “ Yes.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Well, Annie? ” said his vis- à- vis with a hint of impatience.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Well, Maxwell? ” questioned Mrs. Carrington.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Well? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Well? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Well? ” said Carrington.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Well?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Were n't you satisfied with what you had al- ready accomplished? ” “ I do n't know what you mean."
hvd.hnqp75	“ Were you making a test, Dick? ” she asked, as he selected a cigarette.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What are we out for?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What are you doing here, Maxwell?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What are you doing here? ” No answer.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What are you thinking about? ” asked Car.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What are you up to? ” he called from the sidewalk.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What can he do to us? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What did he say to that?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What do you know about this, Maxwell? ” “ Nothing, sir."
hvd.hnqp75	“ What does any man know about any woman?
hvd.hnqp75	“ What does he think?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What explanation? ” “ His story of the murder! ” “ Who did it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What explanation? ” “ His story of the murder! ” “ Who did it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What is it, Maxwell?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What is it? ” Clasping the child more closely, she stepped back at bay.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What is it? ” he asked, his eyes straining to pierce the darkness of roadside trees.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What is there for me to say?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What made you do it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What shall we do? ” “ View it at once.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What were you doing, Maxwell, outside Gen- eral Welles's door, the other night?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What —?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's her name? ” asked the farmer's wife as she touched a flushed cheek lightly.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's it all about? ” he asked, stepping into the room.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's that?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the idea?
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the matter? ” Marston managed to rush in with his question.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the matter? ” he asked anxiously.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the matter?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the matter?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the news, this morning? ” “ Nothing, sir.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the rest of it?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's the word? ” “ Nothing good.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's this? ” he asked, stooping to recover it.
hvd.hnqp75	“ What's up?
hvd.hnqp75	“ What?
hvd.hnqp75	“ When did you leave her, Fifi?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ When did you see Mrs. Cutshaw the last time? ”"You mean alive? ” “ Yes, ” Dr. Ben assented, “ I mean alive. ”"At dinner, last night.
hvd.hnqp75	“ When did you see Mrs. Cutshaw the last time? ”"You mean alive? ” “ Yes, ” Dr. Ben assented, “ I mean alive. ”"At dinner, last night.
hvd.hnqp75	“ When may we expect him?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ When she said something had upset her, natu- rally, I thought she meant you. ” “ But why?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ When was that? ” With his frown that was purely concentration on disclosures about his most trusted servant Carring- ton intimidated Annie more.
hvd.hnqp75	“ When was that?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where am I?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where are you going? ” he roughly demanded.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where is Maxwell? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where is it, then?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where the bush is the thickest, near the ground. ” “ You ask me if the murderer was a man, or a woman?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where's Fifi? ” “ Here, sir. ” “ Oh, yes.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Where's Smith?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Which way? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Which way? ” “ To the left, please.
hvd.hnqp75	“ While most of us play up to the crowd, you only recognize its existence by running yourself down. ” “ How do you know?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Who closes the house at night, Maxwell? ” Dr. Ben once more devoted himself to jingling his keys.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Who has an airplane in these parts, Carrington? ”.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Who knows now?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Who saw her after she came in with Mr. Mar- ston? ” Nobody answered, until Mrs. Carrington again came to the rescue.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Who's there? ” he called sharply.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why did n't you catch it? ” asked Freddy, who had listened with half- closed eyes, his rotund body comfortably wedged between chair and table.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why did n't you let me know? ” demanded Mar- ston.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why did n't you run away that night?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why do n't you speak?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why do you hate the General, Maxwell? ” “ I beg your pardon, sir."
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why not? ” “ Because I do n't know."
hvd.hnqp75	“ Why?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Will it do any harm if Amy and I take a little walk?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Will this do, Madam?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Will you have breakfast here, or in the library, sir?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ Will you have your breakfast now, sir?
hvd.hnqp75	“ Wo n't you have a look at the moon? ” he said haphazardly.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Wo n't you have some chartreuse? ” “ I ought not to, but I will.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Yes, sir. ” “ And after you? ” “ I'm not sure, sir.
hvd.hnqp75	“ Yes, what is it? ” It was Maxwell's voice at the other end, and deeply apologetic.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You are a resident of this vicinity?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You do n't remember anything about his clothes? ”: “ Oh, no, sir.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You do n't think the Indian killed Fanny?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You do n't want us to search him?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You have n't, have you?
hvd.hnqp75	“ You left the room as it was? ” “ I did n't touch a thing. ” “ Is that also your recollection? ” Dr. Ben looked at Marston.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You left the room as it was? ” “ I did n't touch a thing. ” “ Is that also your recollection? ” Dr. Ben looked at Marston.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You mean the place where some big bugs named Carrington live?
hvd.hnqp75	“ You mean, I suppose, to take the child home with you? ” “ No,"she said quietly, “ I must leave it on the way. ” “ Where?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You mean, I suppose, to take the child home with you? ” “ No,"she said quietly, “ I must leave it on the way. ” “ Where?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You mean?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You quarrelled, did n't you? ” “ I do n't remember that we did. ” The district attorney scowled and bit his lips.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You remember the night the airship came, sir?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You saved me? ” he questioned.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You should n't have allowed her to take a car out alone to- night. ” “ How could I help it, sir?"
hvd.hnqp75	“ You torture me. ” “ How? ” she asked, but seemed to shrink from his answer.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You want the details?
hvd.hnqp75	“ You want to save Mr. and Mrs. Carrington from unnecessary embarrassment, do n't you? ” “ Yes,"she answered, and looked at Helen piti- fully."
hvd.hnqp75	“ You went to Saleport? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnqp75	“ You're a lawyer, go ahead. ” “ Why did you run away, Wilkins? ” Marston's first question was casually abrupt.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You're sure you can establish self- defense? ” “ Absolutely.
hvd.hnqp75	“ You're sure you know your way?
hvd.hn3gs4	A'shot? hvd.hn3gs4 All settled?
hvd.hn3gs4	All through? ” Baird's voice was low. hvd.hn3gs4 Are you?
hvd.hn3gs4	Every eight or ten years, eh? ” She did not'jeer. hvd.hn3gs4 For my own good?
hvd.hn3gs4	For you? hvd.hn3gs4 From whom?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Have you told Mr. Landers that? ” he asked. hvd.hn3gs4 I can see myself dousing the young'un in the font — that what they use?
hvd.hn3gs4	I guess you do n't need any kisses on your white forehead, do you, Mr. Ladd? hvd.hn3gs4 Is it any of your business what I do outside this office? ”"It certainly is! ” snapped the elder brother.
hvd.hn3gs4	Lan- ders? ” She nodded. hvd.hn3gs4 Meaning that you were n't trying to lose me?
hvd.hn3gs4	Mr. James Mc- Pherson Ladd, junior? ” Climsby's voice became im- UNEASY STREET 127 mediately cordial. hvd.hn3gs4 Noblesse oblige, eh? ” “ Hardly that. ” 310 UNEASY STREET “ No?
hvd.hn3gs4	Noblesse oblige, eh? ” “ Hardly that. ” 310 UNEASY STREET “ No? hvd.hn3gs4 Some champagne- no; what are you drinking? ” the girl asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	Some li'l place, eh, Roddy me buck? ” said Jimmy. hvd.hn3gs4 That why you were frightened at Jimmy's call- ing?
hvd.hn3gs4	Well, you do n't have to, fortunately, eh? ” Baird tried to laugh lightly. hvd.hn3gs4 You came to me because you thought it might be easier, eh? ” Baird assented, rather miserable of tone.
hvd.hn3gs4	'Cause why?
hvd.hn3gs4	'Enough?
hvd.hn3gs4	..... 120 “ Suppose I tell you I can put Rodney Baird in jail? ”............. 226 Eileen rose and dropped him a courtesy.
hvd.hn3gs4	108 UNEASY STREET “ Like it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	11 “ Why should I? ” demanded Ladd, looking down at the outstretched member.
hvd.hn3gs4	170 UNEASY STREET “ Is Blackmar in politics? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	1—there's no particu- lar insult in a man's being jealous, is there?"
hvd.hn3gs4	208 UNEASY STREET Have a little drink, Baird? ” Cather was extremely effusive.
hvd.hn3gs4	242 UNEASY STREET “ Holben? ” interposed Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	306 308 UNEASY STREET “ You do n't think so? ” Blackmar sneered.
hvd.hn3gs4	A thousand dollars?
hvd.hn3gs4	A transaction matter"“ Why tell me?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Alive as a cricket, but”-he tapped his breast—"heart. ” “ Serious?"
hvd.hn3gs4	All right? ” Baird's heart almost stopped beating.
hvd.hn3gs4	All that sort of thing?
hvd.hn3gs4	All vanity. ” “ “ Vanity?
hvd.hn3gs4	An hour?
hvd.hn3gs4	And I could make good — but what's the use?
hvd.hn3gs4	And a doctor, and an author-anyone at all?
hvd.hn3gs4	And army pay do n't mount up very rapidly. ” “ Do you mind telling me what you are driving at? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	And because, at the outset, he avoids the best men, admitting that, at present, they are superior to him, is he a joke?
hvd.hn3gs4	And do you really know anything against Captain Baird? ”"I've told you all that I care to just now, Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	And her brother? ” “ Surely!
hvd.hn3gs4	And how much had she told Landers?
hvd.hn3gs4	And the critically honest man is never deceived by others. ” “ “ Critically honest?
hvd.hn3gs4	And what sort of person would he be to worry until the owner of that clear title appeared?
hvd.hn3gs4	And why?
hvd.hn3gs4	And with whom had she come?
hvd.hn3gs4	And would they let her fit herself for a job?
hvd.hn3gs4	And you wish it sent?"
hvd.hn3gs4	And you'll respect her more for it. ” “ Will I? ” Baird's sneer was patent now.
hvd.hn3gs4	Another thought came to him: How could he ever return the money now?
hvd.hn3gs4	Any other little things you want me to promise? ” The elder brother frowned.
hvd.hn3gs4	Anybody'd like to know that, would n't they? ” “ But you say that you may take it? ” She laughed.
hvd.hn3gs4	Anybody'd like to know that, would n't they? ” “ But you say that you may take it? ” She laughed.
hvd.hn3gs4	Are n't you going to spree it a bit and everything? ” “ With that disgusting brother on my neck?
hvd.hn3gs4	Are n't you going to spree it a bit and everything? ” “ With that disgusting brother on my neck?
hvd.hn3gs4	Are n't you good to come around so soon? ” Landers passed through the door.
hvd.hn3gs4	Are you really bored?".
hvd.hn3gs4	As long as one of the contracting parties has it — Oh, well, I'm a fine little match- maker, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	At last?
hvd.hn3gs4	Baird's the second- best match you could have made, Eileen. ” “ The first being? ” she laughed.
hvd.hn3gs4	Baird, ” in- stead of simply “ Baird ”?
hvd.hn3gs4	Be back at five?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Because we're the happiest folk in the country. ” “ You think so? ”"I know it, ” said Ladd emphatically.
hvd.hn3gs4	Been a waitress in Donchester — that's where she knew you, was n't it, Mr. Baird? ” Baird nodded again.
hvd.hn3gs4	Before the army — what? ” He shrugged again.
hvd.hn3gs4	Blackmar?
hvd.hn3gs4	Bring her, too, wo n't you? ” He colored.
hvd.hn3gs4	Bring him over to me, will you? ” He stared at her.
hvd.hn3gs4	But I didn't — there's no reason, when a girl is n't really engaged — even if I were, must I tell every man that I meet? ” He laughed.
hvd.hn3gs4	But a moment before, I did n't seem very upset, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	But another kind of song- Do you know the'Rock- ing- Chair Blues'? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hn3gs4	But contest?
hvd.hn3gs4	But does he want the lady to marry him because of his undoubted assets?
hvd.hn3gs4	But had it?
hvd.hn3gs4	But how did the money get into your room?"
hvd.hn3gs4	But if Donchester had thought that innocuous cabaret harmful, what would Donchester think of the performance going on here now?
hvd.hn3gs4	But if he could n't?
hvd.hn3gs4	But if he did n't tell her some such story, what would he tell her?
hvd.hn3gs4	But perhaps you I wanted a cocktail first?"
hvd.hn3gs4	But what difference did it make to him who had given it to her?
hvd.hn3gs4	But what of that?
hvd.hn3gs4	But where did he come into criticize her?
hvd.hn3gs4	But why be intense?
hvd.hn3gs4	But why do n't you sell?
hvd.hn3gs4	But why not?
hvd.hn3gs4	But why not?
hvd.hn3gs4	But why on earth had Sam refused to make good his hints of Sunday?
hvd.hn3gs4	But why should she pick on you? ” “ Heaven knows!
hvd.hn3gs4	But would he have been able to continue the acquaintance begun there with Eileen Elsing?
hvd.hn3gs4	But — what was there to do about it?
hvd.hn3gs4	But, meantime whither do we wend our blithesome way, Miss Holben? ” “ You may take me home,"she told him.
hvd.hn3gs4	But- did she?
hvd.hn3gs4	But- do you suppose that I told you of Sam Blackmar's jealousy merely to UNEASY STREET 193 flatter you? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn3gs4	But- he jumped Landers, took his gun away from him, kept the whole business quiet, and — how many men would have let Landers go?"
hvd.hn3gs4	By what right did he assume so much?
hvd.hn3gs4	By what right did this dead man reach out his stilled hand and cast a shadow over the life of him, Rodney Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	Ca n't see any reason why-""No?
hvd.hn3gs4	Chance for jealousy, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	Could I help? ” “ Men always want to help, do n't they?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Could I help? ” “ Men always want to help, do n't they?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Could it be possible that its last possessor did not intend to claim the money?
hvd.hn3gs4	Could it be possible that she had really, in five days, begun to care for a man about whom she knew noth- ing?
hvd.hn3gs4	Could the settings be changed? ” Arabin smiled.
hvd.hn3gs4	Dance with anyone else?
hvd.hn3gs4	Did Jeanne tell you?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Did he know I was there? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	Did n't miss anything, did you, when you was leavin'? ” “ Why, no.
hvd.hn3gs4	Did you know that his father has taken him into partner- ship? ” “ Great news! ” he said heartily.
hvd.hn3gs4	Did you know them? ” “ Eleanor?
hvd.hn3gs4	Did you know them? ” “ Eleanor?
hvd.hn3gs4	Dine with me? ” “ Sure thing!"
hvd.hn3gs4	Dining with her to- morrow night, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do I get it? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do I? ” He essayed a smile.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do any of us remain stationary in the eyes of those who know us?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do any sneer at him because he hopes to be champion?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do n't happen to know anything about him, do you? ” “ Except that he's a notorious gambler,"said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do n't understand it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do n't you like my little home? ” She was a bit too bright of voice.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you 320 UNEASY STREET suppose that she'd look at me again?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you bite, too? ” He sat bolt upright in bed.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you know him, too? ” Eileen forced a look of innocence.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you know that you're talking to a man of power, place, and influence?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you know, lots of women will do lots of things for just a pair of the right kind of shoes? ”"Men, too, ” he agreed.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you run round with the same people?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you suppose that any- thing less than caring too much would bring me here at this time?
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you? ” He shot the question at Baird, and, despite him- self, Baird felt that ever- ready flush mounting to his face.
hvd.hn3gs4	Do you”-eyes that were provocative last night were alluring now—"love me any the less for it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Doctor Crowninshield gave me a lecture and tipped me off. ” “ He's not ill now? ” demanded Baird anxiously.
hvd.hn3gs4	Does anyone know who and what anyone else is? ”"A philosopher!
hvd.hn3gs4	Does anyone?
hvd.hn3gs4	Does she hope to marry him?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Does she want to give them up?
hvd.hn3gs4	Does that seem barbarous? ” “ To want money? ” She glanced about her tiny dining- room.
hvd.hn3gs4	Does that seem barbarous? ” “ To want money? ” She glanced about her tiny dining- room.
hvd.hn3gs4	Drop around to- morrow afternoon? ”"Engagement.
hvd.hn3gs4	Eh, what?'
hvd.hn3gs4	Eh? ” He stammered an assent.
hvd.hn3gs4	Except for a minute or two, when I thought you'd pull Blackmar apart to see what made him tick. ” “ What does make him tick? ” demanded Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Fannie Holben had been a markswoman shoot- ing in the dark; but Blackmar- What were Blackmar's relations with Landers?
hvd.hn3gs4	Fannie Holben?
hvd.hn3gs4	Fannie say anything to you about it? ” “ Why~ no,"said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	For being drunk?
hvd.hn3gs4	For instance, Derriby's is a rather strict place, you know. ” “ Well? ” Baird felt his forehead grow warm.
hvd.hn3gs4	For, after all, as the head of Ladd& Company, I'm to be considered, eh? ” “ Yes, sir, ” said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	For- given?
hvd.hn3gs4	Frankie Landers will be out then. ” “ “ Out?
hvd.hn3gs4	Frankie Landers?
hvd.hn3gs4	Frankie Landers? ” Baird fumbled with his key.
hvd.hn3gs4	Frankie talked about bag- gage, did he?
hvd.hn3gs4	Get action?
hvd.hn3gs4	Get less than two thousand for it, I happen to know. ” “ Sure of that? ” he inquired.
hvd.hn3gs4	Going in with Jimmy. ” “ As one of the firm? ” She was frankly curious.
hvd.hn3gs4	Had a bit of a fever, but it's gone now. ” “ You think he'd like to- hear from me? ” “ Do n't talk foolishness, Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	Had its owner missed it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Had n't Jimmy Ladd stated that Eileen had broken with her relatives, that the daughters, her cousins, were jealous?
hvd.hn3gs4	Had n't he, Baird, been too ready to take alarm?
hvd.hn3gs4	Have n't you known from the beginning that we were to know each other well? ” “ I'd- hoped so, ” he stammered.
hvd.hn3gs4	Have you begun to love me already? ” The girl pursed her lips.
hvd.hn3gs4	Having tea with Miss El- sing? ” “ Yes. ” Baird's voice was cold.
hvd.hn3gs4	He could n't get the exact amount, but-"“ Cather?"
hvd.hn3gs4	He is a graceless vaga- bond, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	He knew at once what Grannan meant, yet he asked, “ You mean that she's waiting inside for me?"
hvd.hn3gs4	He nodi her whim coincided 218 UNEASY STREET “ Ready? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	He wondered what it was worth?
hvd.hn3gs4	He's done it before. ” “ And the lady — you've seen her with him?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Her lips framed a whispered question:"What does Sam want with you?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Him?
hvd.hn3gs4	How about Saturday with us? ” “ It's a go, ” said Baird"Fine stuff!
hvd.hn3gs4	How could a man care for a woman who stood for all the things to which he was opposed?
hvd.hn3gs4	How could a man help worrying when he had incurred obligations that were beyond his ability to meet?
hvd.hn3gs4	How could he return the money?
hvd.hn3gs4	How could he, Baird, do any harm to that owner by mere sequestration of the money?
hvd.hn3gs4	How did you get this way, Jimmy? ” “ Jealousy, ” declared Jimmy.
hvd.hn3gs4	How many kisses had Blackmar received in payment for his gifts to her?
hvd.hn3gs4	How many people in all New York were well- enough acquainted with Arabin to achieve entrance to his shop on a holiday?
hvd.hn3gs4	How much did she know?
hvd.hn3gs4	How much had Fannie Holben told him?
hvd.hn3gs4	How much?
hvd.hn3gs4	How on earth could he ever possibly pay for it?
hvd.hn3gs4	How on earth had it come into his room?
hvd.hn3gs4	How would you feel? ”"Like getting hold of some money, ” he replied.
hvd.hn3gs4	How you feeling? ” It was Jimmy Ladd, as cheerful as though his last nights festivities had had milk as their inspirational base.
hvd.hn3gs4	How'd you know her, anyway? ” Eileen shrugged.
hvd.hn3gs4	I can stand a Cather drinking, but when it comes to act- ing as private detective for a hotel waitress"“ What's that? ” exclaimed Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	I did n't even ask what she had to say against Mr. Baird. ” “ What did you do? ” asked Jimmy.
hvd.hn3gs4	I got his gun-"“ And let him go? ” gasped Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	I mean, are you ambitious for money only?
hvd.hn3gs4	I want to know the best way to keep his mouth shut. ”"His mouth shut? ” Baird's astonishment was palpable.
hvd.hn3gs4	I wo n't believe it's anyone else. ” “ Quite certain that I'm doing that sort of thing?"
hvd.hn3gs4	I'd have done the same thing if I had n't met her. ” “ Have you told her? ” demanded Ladd suddenly.
hvd.hn3gs4	I'll call for you at your diggings about seven, eh? ” “ Suits me. ” “ Will was read to- day.
hvd.hn3gs4	I'm awful blue. ” “ So?
hvd.hn3gs4	I'm hav- ing dinner with him to- night. ” “ Yes? ” Baird's voice was cold.
hvd.hn3gs4	I'm merely asking you if you are sure that I could n't have had some other money? ”"Sure enough, ” said Blackmar.
hvd.hn3gs4	I'm sorry, but-"“ You're no patron of the arts, eh? ” she said.
hvd.hn3gs4	IX V OU do n't care for them?
hvd.hn3gs4	If I had a few thousand to put into the show- do you get me?"
hvd.hn3gs4	If I've injured him-"“ How could you?
hvd.hn3gs4	If I've made a mistake, no harsh feelings, eh? ” “ None at all, ” he assured her.
hvd.hn3gs4	If a man owned the only spring of water on Manhattan Island, would his ownership prevent the other inhabitants from drinking his water?
hvd.hn3gs4	If you were more definite, if I knew what you meant, I might be angry, but-"“ But you are n't?
hvd.hn3gs4	In? ” It was Jimmy Ladd's voice.
hvd.hn3gs4	Is anyone?
hvd.hn3gs4	Is that all, you are quite sure? ” This was not what Fannie had come for.
hvd.hn3gs4	It is only when we are old that we ask, ‘ But how do we know that two is two?'
hvd.hn3gs4	It might enliven you? ” The barb in her voice, more than in her words, stung.
hvd.hn3gs4	It sort of- Well, if a poor girl has set her mind on a rich marriage, will a fortune in her own right change her ideas?
hvd.hn3gs4	It takes forever unless you've got some money – Will you give me the twenty- five hundred?"
hvd.hn3gs4	It was a merry laugh, “ Have I offended the poor little petulant man?
hvd.hn3gs4	It's low; it's — it's filthy! ”"Well,"Eileen admitted, “ it's not the sort of thing one wants in one's biography in ‘ Who's Who.?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Its acquisition, But who cared about that?
hvd.hn3gs4	Jailed?
hvd.hn3gs4	Join me?
hvd.hn3gs4	Just what did I do that surprised you? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Kept quiet about Landers- Rodney, is there any reason in the world why I should n't marry you?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Ladd in yet? ” demanded Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Ladd?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Landers has plenty of that. ” “ Do n't I know it well enough?
hvd.hn3gs4	Landers?
hvd.hn3gs4	Lay out your clothing for the evening, sir? ” Well, it was worth fifteen dollars a week to have even the part- time of so perfect a servant as this.
hvd.hn3gs4	Let's forget him. ” “ Did n't Captain Baird tell you that he had an engagement with me?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Let's not quarrel over an unimportant little pup that —"“ You mean Captain Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	Let's say that I'm annoyed. ” “ At what?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Make myself clear? ” “ Unnecessarily so,"replied Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	May I ask why you come to me, though? ” “ You may, ” she told him, her teeth clicking over the words.
hvd.hn3gs4	May I see you?
hvd.hn3gs4	May I smoke? ” She nodded.
hvd.hn3gs4	Me?
hvd.hn3gs4	Mean anything in your young life?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Mention a trunk of his? ” “ He did, ” said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Merely to look on? ”"Mr. Blackmar had an appointment. ” “ Here? ” She stared at him, recognizing the surprise in his tone.
hvd.hn3gs4	Merely to look on? ”"Mr. Blackmar had an appointment. ” “ Here? ” She stared at him, recognizing the surprise in his tone.
hvd.hn3gs4	Met him a few times — that's all. ” “ And does he seem the sort to tie himself up with a waitress?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Money?
hvd.hn3gs4	Mr. Baird would not mind giving references?
hvd.hn3gs4	Mr. Ladd not in? ” “ No; not yet, sir. ” “ Very well. ” Baird closed the door upon them.
hvd.hn3gs4	Must talk to somebody when you have something to say, eh? ” Baird laughed.
hvd.hn3gs4	My dear, why should I lie to you? ” She looked at him.
hvd.hn3gs4	Myself, I think that maybe Eileen is making a mistake, but eight millions make loud music. ” “ Would n't you have that sometime?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Not afraid of the job, are you, Rod? ” Baird colored.
hvd.hn3gs4	Not butting in, am I? ” She stood aside to let him pass.
hvd.hn3gs4	Not for her. ” “ Have something better in mind? ” “ Well, I think it's better.
hvd.hn3gs4	Not with electric atoms, I hope? ”"I'll try to think of another opening, ” he prom- ised.
hvd.hn3gs4	Oh, I wish that I were; but- oh, well, what's the use? ” “ Of what?
hvd.hn3gs4	Oh, I wish that I were; but- oh, well, what's the use? ” “ Of what?
hvd.hn3gs4	Oh, well- shall we walk? ” With fingers that shook with sudden relief, Baird UNEASY STREET 69 took from his pocket money for the taxi- man.
hvd.hn3gs4	On New Year's?
hvd.hn3gs4	One can make another fortune, but find an- other happiness"“ And I ca n't persuade you to marry me to- mor- row?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Or do you receive visitors so often? ” She was more than flippant; she was cheap- for the moment.
hvd.hn3gs4	Pilate asked,"What is truth?'
hvd.hn3gs4	Pretty protesta- tions were all very well, but if they were insincere, of what sense were they?
hvd.hn3gs4	Prove it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Punishment?
hvd.hn3gs4	Puzzle: Who did it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Queer ideas men get, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	Revenge was all very well, but where did it get a guy?
hvd.hn3gs4	Right away?
hvd.hn3gs4	Shave, sir?
hvd.hn3gs4	She was — How much did a kiss mean to her, anyway?
hvd.hn3gs4	She's UNEASY STREET 145 been talkin'a lot about you this afternoon, Mr. Baird. ”"Indeed? ” Baird was guardedly polite.
hvd.hn3gs4	Simple, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	So I thought you'd say good- by to him for me, tell what I've told you —"“ To whom did you give the warehouse receipt?
hvd.hn3gs4	So I would kiss it fondly farewell to- night. ” “ Make a big clean- up of your affairs in Don- chester?"
hvd.hn3gs4	So much cash- And why had n't it been claimed?
hvd.hn3gs4	So you're running two ménages, eh? ” Baird lighted a cigarette.
hvd.hn3gs4	So — I gave her the money she wanted and- stayed away. ” “ You stayed away, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	Sorry. ” “ Eileen?
hvd.hn3gs4	So’ve you, have n't you? ”"Eh? ” Baird was confused.
hvd.hn3gs4	So’ve you, have n't you? ”"Eh? ” Baird was confused.
hvd.hn3gs4	Still — what did she know?
hvd.hn3gs4	Still, why should n't Ladd have mentioned it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Suppose that he'd not permitted the illu- 174 UNEASY STREET sion as to his own means to gain ground in the mind of Jimmy Ladd?
hvd.hn3gs4	Suppose, at the end of the year, when he made out his income tax, he wanted to be strictly honest?
hvd.hn3gs4	Supposing that he'd had a thousand dollars in the bank?
hvd.hn3gs4	Sure you wo n't?
hvd.hn3gs4	That 86 UNEASY STREET she would hate to ask him to replace it?
hvd.hn3gs4	That there was a chance for him to win her?
hvd.hn3gs4	That was all. ” “ And since then?"
hvd.hn3gs4	That was three — is it days ago? ” “ Does it seem so long? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	That was three — is it days ago? ” “ Does it seem so long? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	That's the least I could do, is n't it? ” “ I'll bring one to- morrow! ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hn3gs4	The light hurt my eyes, and “ Why prevaricate?
hvd.hn3gs4	The money that I've- used-"“ Why not say stolen? ” interrupted Blackmar.
hvd.hn3gs4	The next time you come to dinner you shall meet her. ” “ A relative? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	Then I'm going to wash my hands of him- for good. ” “ Are n't you a bit cruel, Eleanor? ” Her visitor's eyes suddenly clouded.
hvd.hn3gs4	Then whose was it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Then, next time you are here""I am coming again?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Then- suppose you bring it to my apartment and dine with me?
hvd.hn3gs4	Thou- sand?
hvd.hn3gs4	To live here?"
hvd.hn3gs4	To the highest bidder, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	Too many people know of the money's loss""Blackmar tried to kill himself last night, did n't he?
hvd.hn3gs4	UNEASY STREET 109 “ A manager? ” “ The musical- comedy manager.
hvd.hn3gs4	UNEASY STREET 121 “ My room- number? ” Something sharp seemed to pierce his heart.
hvd.hn3gs4	UNEASY STREET 183 “ Why should you permit me to ask him?"
hvd.hn3gs4	UNEASY STREET 243 “ Where does Baird fit into this picture- puzzle? ” asked Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	UNEASY STREET 73 “ Friday, did he say?
hvd.hn3gs4	UNEASY STREET 91 “ Think so?
hvd.hn3gs4	Understand?
hvd.hn3gs4	Used to play with him, eh? ”"Oh, occasionally, ” said Baird idly.
hvd.hn3gs4	Vaguely, through a haze, he remembered the scandal about Cather, “ Do n't I know you? ” asked Cather.
hvd.hn3gs4	Want to hear a secret? ” “ Thrilled, ” he assured her.
hvd.hn3gs4	Want to hire a companion? ” “ Looking for a job? ” asked Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	Want to hire a companion? ” “ Looking for a job? ” asked Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	Was a search already being instituted?
hvd.hn3gs4	Was he not the intimate of Jimmy 188 UNEASY STREET Ladd?
hvd.hn3gs4	Was he not to enter Jimmy's employ to- morrow?
hvd.hn3gs4	Was it any of his business?
hvd.hn3gs4	Was it capable of rigid definition?
hvd.hn3gs4	Was n't it more honest to be matter of fact?
hvd.hn3gs4	Was she a love- sick miss whose lover must be perfect, must seem perfect?
hvd.hn3gs4	Well then, why had n't the person who left it here claimed it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Well, what differ- ence did that make?
hvd.hn3gs4	Well, who else? ” Baird shrugged.
hvd.hn3gs4	Well, who loves a quitter?
hvd.hn3gs4	Well, why think about returning it?
hvd.hn3gs4	What bit of glass could wreck his smooth ride now?
hvd.hn3gs4	What did Bob find out?
hvd.hn3gs4	What did he care whether she liked him, whether she thought him amusing?
hvd.hn3gs4	What did he expect from UNEASY STREET 113 so brief an acquaintance?
hvd.hn3gs4	What did he tell you?
hvd.hn3gs4	What did she suspect?
hvd.hn3gs4	What did that mean to Rodney Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	What difference did it make to him?
hvd.hn3gs4	What difference does it make where I got it, so long as it's information, not mis- information? ” “ If it only were,"smiled Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	What do you offer, Captain Baird? ” He gasped.
hvd.hn3gs4	What does he matter? ” “ I do n't know. ” She uttered the three words slowly; a meditative look crept into her eyes.
hvd.hn3gs4	What does it mean? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	What does matter is: do you want Franklie Landers to know you? ” “ You're rather cryptic, are n't you? ” he askea.
hvd.hn3gs4	What does matter is: do you want Franklie Landers to know you? ” “ You're rather cryptic, are n't you? ” he askea.
hvd.hn3gs4	What does one know of the sort of sort our dearest man friend is?"
hvd.hn3gs4	What had she meant?
hvd.hn3gs4	What if Blackmar did know Landers?
hvd.hn3gs4	What is the busi- ness? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	What more can be asked of you? ” “ You ask more,"said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	What right had Blackmar to assume that he, Rodney Baird, was not able to make good his own losses?
hvd.hn3gs4	What right had a man to drive a bargain with a woman whom he pretended to love?
hvd.hn3gs4	What right have you to be jealous?"
hvd.hn3gs4	What say?"
hvd.hn3gs4	What sort of a celebration did you attend last night, Miss Elsing? ” She chuckled.
hvd.hn3gs4	What sort of fool's paradise was he building for himself?
hvd.hn3gs4	What sort of man is he?
hvd.hn3gs4	What sort of person would he be to consider surrendering those nine points to anyone who could not prove a perfect title?
hvd.hn3gs4	What sort, Captain? ” “ Real estate. ” “ In Donchester?"
hvd.hn3gs4	What sort, Captain? ” “ Real estate. ” “ In Donchester?"
hvd.hn3gs4	What was honesty, any- way?
hvd.hn3gs4	What was it the girl had said?
hvd.hn3gs4	What was it you wished?"
hvd.hn3gs4	What was she doing here?
hvd.hn3gs4	What was the nature of the thing that he had done?
hvd.hn3gs4	What would Miss Elsing think?
hvd.hn3gs4	What's life but move- ment, change?
hvd.hn3gs4	What's the number of your room, Mr. Baird? ” HEIM CO Wild TUVAI JARER NOGOMERY FASG.
hvd.hn3gs4	What's wrong?
hvd.hn3gs4	What's wrong?"
hvd.hn3gs4	When I was thinking all sorts of things of you?
hvd.hn3gs4	When?
hvd.hn3gs4	Where'd you get it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Which is most important, money or ambition?
hvd.hn3gs4	Who is it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Who is she? ” “ I knew her in Donchester, ” said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Who mentioned police?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Who was this girl, anyway?
hvd.hn3gs4	Who was this man Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	Who were these people, anyway?
hvd.hn3gs4	Who would have dreamed that the tangled threads which involved him with Fannie Holben should have, unraveling, led to Eileen Elsing?
hvd.hn3gs4	Who's the man that owns the money?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Whose was it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why did n't one or all of those three persons come out in the open?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why did n't they demand it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why did n't you offer to do so yourself, then? ” “ You seemed to have made your decision, Eileen, and — I thought nothing of it.
hvd.hn3gs4	Why had n't he paid Fannie what she demanded?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why not ask Rod what it all means?"
hvd.hn3gs4	Why not tell him that he was in practically no circumstances at all, that he was dependent on the job waiting for him?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why not ten minutes?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why not? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	Why postpone the inevitable?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why should Miss Elsing, having an engagement, inform him of the fact?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why should a man yield his patent leathers to carpet slippers if he did n't choose to?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why should n't Eileen? ” “ But — but it comes down to- selling herself,"protested Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	Why should she accept jewelry from Blackmar?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why should she wave the mat- ter aside, profess not to mind, when he would know perfectly well that she did mind?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why should the Holben woman pay Cather to look up Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why take any risk?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why the devil had he missed his train?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why, then, shiver with apprehension?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why?
hvd.hn3gs4	Why? ” Jimmy blushed.
hvd.hn3gs4	Will you come across now? ” Baird's laugh was pleasant.
hvd.hn3gs4	Will you dance the evening hours away with me, for sweet charity's sake? ” 232 UNEASY STREET She eyed Ladd speculatively.
hvd.hn3gs4	Would Jimmy have invited him to his New Year's party?
hvd.hn3gs4	Would Mr. Baird care to come over at once?
hvd.hn3gs4	Would it be morally wrong for him to take a thousand from the canvas trunk, placing his own perfectly good check therein?
hvd.hn3gs4	Would you care to look round the building? ” Baird mumbled an excuse.
hvd.hn3gs4	Would you have her sell herself for a pretty speech or a pleasant smile or a good- looking face?
hvd.hn3gs4	Yet her voice, while not bored, was as casual as his own as she asked, when the maid had gone: “ Business?
hvd.hn3gs4	Yet, if the play has been entertaining, who regrets the time spent in listening to it?
hvd.hn3gs4	Yet, why should n't she be matter of fact?
hvd.hn3gs4	You do n't suppose we want any scandal about an employee of Ladd& Company, do you? ” The old gentleman fairly bristled at the thought.
hvd.hn3gs4	You know her?"
hvd.hn3gs4	You know that? ” “ Grannan will keep his mouth shut.
hvd.hn3gs4	You know what a little sister of the rich is?
hvd.hn3gs4	You like it in a man; why not respect it in a woman, even though it's a bit different? ” His face grew suddenly anxious.
hvd.hn3gs4	You paid him back next day. ” “ Sure of that? ” he asked lightly.
hvd.hn3gs4	You really do n't know what I'm talking about, do you? ” He grinned.
hvd.hn3gs4	You stole, did n't you? ” Crispness had become harshness.
hvd.hn3gs4	You think so?
hvd.hn3gs4	You two idiots — The conve- nances mean darned little to you two love- birds, do n't they?
hvd.hn3gs4	You would not interfere with my innocent amusements, would you? ” “ If you wanna dance, kid, go to it, ” said Mr. Landers.
hvd.hn3gs4	You'll be up here in fifteen minutes, eh? ” Baird was rather dazed as he hung up the re- ceiver.
hvd.hn3gs4	You've seen all you want UNEASY STREET 123 to it, but — she looks like a chicken I've seen around with Frankie Landers. ” “ Landers?

hvd.hn3gs4	possible chance, they did come, how would they prove that he had taken anything from the contents?
hvd.hn3gs4	« Jealous?
hvd.hn3gs4	«'Working? ” she echoed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ A couple of hundred, shall we say?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ A million? ” “ Maybe more.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ A rumless evening passes slowly, does n't it, old top?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ After you know me better and have learned to love me Who kept you waiting so long in the Plaza? ”"Huh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ After you know me better and have learned to love me Who kept you waiting so long in the Plaza? ”"Huh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ All the evidence in, Miss Holben? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ All the large ones?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ An Elsing trick? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And do n't I get any congratulation? ” demanded Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And just now I jumped down your throat, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And just what does that mean? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And she'd marry a man for his money?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And the point it makes? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And why should n't she want to know the people who live there? ” “ Because she does n't belong with them, ” snapped Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ And you do n't mind telling me where you ac- 214 UNEASY STREET quired this interesting misinformation? ” he asked gently.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Any special place you want to dine? ” “ Ready and not particular, ” said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Are all heroes mock- modest? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Are n't you saving it for yourself, rather? ” coun- tered Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Are you trying to?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ As it happens, 64 UNEASY STREET though, I doubt if another pin like it can be found in the city. ” “ How did you lose it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Baird get your pin, Eileen? ” Blackmar would ask.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Been under the weather yourself a bit, have n't you? ” Baird colored.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Beg pardon, ma'am? ” he heard Grannan say.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Besides, I was seeing Landers on a matter of busi- ness. ” “ What sort of business, Sam?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Blackmar's in bed to- day, is n't he?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Blackmar, you're pretty low. ” “ How about yourself?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Break me?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But I have n't any clothes — and who's'we? ” » “ We?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But I have n't any clothes — and who's'we? ” » “ We?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But I would be able, I think, to do for you""In the style to which I have been accustomed? ” She chuckled.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But even if I'm not purified, ” he said, “ my job is waiting for me? ” “ Certainly, certainly, ” said the elder brother.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But if you love him? ” “ Where do you get that love- stuff?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But if you love him? ” “ Where do you get that love- stuff?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But — what did Blackmar want to know? ” 190 UNEASY STREET “ Who and what you were."
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But, Miss Hol- ben, if you've banked too heavily on your'informa- tion,'I'm sorry for your disappointment. ” “ Eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ But, ” she went on,"why did he warn me that you could n't dance? ” “ Kindness,"replied Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Ca n't you see that I'm making an impression? ” “ Miss Elsing wants to know if you wo n't join her, ” said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Can I take you get a taxi? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Can you see me, Baird? ” Within the room, the two stared at each other.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Captain Baird, you are one of those who can- er — take it or leave it alone? ” “ He sure is!
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Captain Baird? ” He left a delightful shiver run up his back.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Certainly not; but — to say that you're not the man I thought you were — what does that signify?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Could I do anything for you, sir?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Could I see you this afternoon, Captain Baird? ” asked Blackmar.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Could n't you think of something newer? ” “ But you wanted something, and I do n't think quickly,"he retorted.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Dance, Eileen? ” Miss Elsing grinned at Jimmy Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Decent, eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did Mr. Ladd tell him?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did n't happen to have any queer experience at the Tramby, did you, Mr. Baird? ” “ Queer experience? ” ” Baird echoed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did n't happen to have any queer experience at the Tramby, did you, Mr. Baird? ” “ Queer experience? ” ” Baird echoed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did n't you make any good reso- lutions, Jimmy?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did not mean what?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did you know UNEASY STREET 317 that there was no danger of jail when you confessed to Blackmar?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did you know that I'm employed by Ladd& Company?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Did you want to see me, Landers? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do n't I do it rather well? ” He met her spirit of raillery.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do n't recognize me, do you, Mr. Baird? ” The overhead light gleamed upon two rows of very white and capable teeth.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do n't want me to take a class in Sunday- school, do you? ” he queried.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you believe in love at first sight, Miss Elsing? ” UNEASY STREET 103 She nodded thoughtfully.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you dare to intimate that you have not been paid ten times over? ” “ I could not be guilty of such a thing,"he said.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you demand sanity from your worshipers? ” “ Are n't we breathless, though? ” “ Why delay? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you demand sanity from your worshipers? ” “ Are n't we breathless, though? ” “ Why delay? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you demand sanity from your worshipers? ” “ Are n't we breathless, though? ” “ Why delay? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you know a doctor that'll keep his mouth shut? ” “ But can you wait-"“ It's stopped bleeding, ” announced Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you know, ” she laughed, “ that there is n't a great deal of sense to what you say?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you mean it, Captain Baird? ” “ Mean what? ” he stammered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you mean it, Captain Baird? ” “ Mean what? ” he stammered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Do you want me to go? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Does a job here mean that I must apolo- 84 UNEASY STREET gize for everything you do n't happen to approve of?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Does home always do that for you? ” “ New York is my home now, ” he answered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Does it?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Drink? ” he asked, as they sat down.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Eh? ” Conceit was not in the heart of Jimmy Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Eh? ” “ I do n't believe you. ” She stared at him com- batively.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Eileen?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Except that maybe you do n't care enough, Eileen? ” It was incredibly easy.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Except what?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Fannie and you quite old friends, Mr. Baird? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Father, ” demanded Jimmy, “ how can you tempt me?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Father? ” Jimmy bowed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ For what? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Frankie? ” “ Well? ” “ You're going to be you're going to be Frankie, you won't- His eyes softened.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Frankie? ” “ Well? ” “ You're going to be you're going to be Frankie, you won't- His eyes softened.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Get it? ” he finished.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Gets you pretty quick, does n't it, Rod? ” Baird nodded heavily, ponderously.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Gloomy old dump, eh, Rod? ” said Jimmy, on Monday morning.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Gone where? ” Baird threw his hands apart.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Grannan, I do n't want a thing, d'y hear?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Had breakfast? ” demanded Ladd abruptly.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Had n't we better have more wine? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Have some coffee? ” “ Wish I could,"said Miss Cather enviously.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ He told me that you'd mentioned me to him. ” “ Did n't say what I'd said? ” “ Why — no.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ He's sure a bear for action — isn't he? ” Baird followed her glance to meet the grinning face of Jimmy Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Hello, Rod?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Her chance? ” Baird's mouth remained open.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Honest?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Hors- d'æuvres wonderful?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How about the way you're talking to me? ” de- manded Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How do you do it, Jimmy?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How do you know? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How much time do you spend dressing yourself, Sam? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How should I know? ” he countered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How would you begin?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How you been getting along with Frankie, Mr. Baird? ” Other couples had intervened between himself and Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How'd you know it was money that made me try what I tried last night? ” “ You're hardly the sort to kill yourself for love,"said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ How's the business ap- peal to you? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I did n't come here to dance. ” “ No?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I have n't seen him. ” “ Refused to see him, eh? ” “ Well, supposing I have?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I have n't seen him. ” “ Refused to see him, eh? ” “ Well, supposing I have?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I knew that you did. ” “ Would I change overnight, do you think?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I moved to- day, though. ” “ Took all your baggage, eh? ” Landers laughed as though he had said something humorous.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I surprise you, eh? ” She 192 UNEASY STREET laughed, but her tone was very businesslike.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I trust, old top, that you can pay for this sumptuous repast? ” “ If you can eat it. ” Baird grimaced.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ I was extremely fond of the design of the other — could it be duplicated, Mr. Arabin?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ If you would n't mind"“ And you wo n't have any tea? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Instead – Eileen, where do you buy your rouge? ” “ Cat! ” said Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Is n't it enough? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Is that all you wished to say? ” “ It's enough, ai n't it? ” snapped Fannie.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Is that all you wished to say? ” “ It's enough, ai n't it? ” snapped Fannie.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ It does n't matter much, does it, Mr. Ladd? ” “ Matter!
hvd.hn3gs4	“ It is time, Captain Baird, that I sent you home. ” “ So early? ” “ I shall be a busy girl to- morrow.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ It worried you? ”"It's been worrying me for some time, ” inter- UNEASY STREET 63 posed Blackmar.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ It's a fault of yours, Sam- suspiciousness. ” “ Eh? ” His face expressed hurt surprise.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ It's a wonder- ful thing, is n't it? ” “ What?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ It's a wonder- ful thing, is n't it? ” “ What?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Its effect is almost instant, is n't it? ” 88 UNEASY STREET “ Perhaps it is n't New York that's the cause; it might be you, ” he said.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Jimmy told you I'd been under the weather a trifle? ” “ Why — er — I was passing by —"Ladd seemed not to notice the interruption.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Jimmy's a bit of an ass, is n't he? ” “ Eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Jimmy's a bit of an ass, is n't he? ” “ Eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Jimmy, I'm pretty small, am I not? ”"Well, you do n't measure up very big, old dear,"he told her.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Jimmy, you're my friend, are n't you? ” “ The best you'll ever have, Eileen, ” he assured her.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Just what did she say? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Just what do you mean by that?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Know that chap well? ” “ Not particularly, ” replied Baird cautiously.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Let us grab the bonnets and the capes and sally forth. ” “ Where to? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Linestream high school. ” “ You knew each other?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Making fun of you?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ May I help? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ May I? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Me? ” Ladd's laugh was not quite as care- free now.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Meaning I puzzle you?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Meaning that you wish I were, Eileen? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Mind handing me that cigar- box? ” Baird had not realized how nervous he was until he complied with the request.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Mind if I stick round long enough for a smoke? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Miss Elsing's pin?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ My pin?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ My poverty does not annoy you, then? ” “'Poverty'? ” He looked down the short hall, ob- serving the prettily furnished drawing- room.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ My poverty does not annoy you, then? ” “'Poverty'? ” He looked down the short hall, ob- serving the prettily furnished drawing- room.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ My'case? ” ” he echoed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ No reason at all, except — it's a queer place for business. ”"Is any place a queer place for business?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ No?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ No? ” The old man's voice was suddenly crisp.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Not even a legal rate of interest?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Not- Baird? ” She shrugged.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Of course that meant nothing in your young life, did it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Of crying for the moon. ” “ Does the moon have any name that I know? ” “ I do n't know,"she replied.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Oh, Eileen, don't-"“ What right have you to advise me, to- even threaten me — to insinuate? ” She was downright angry now.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Oh, a girl like Miss Holben wo n't take Jimmy seriously. ” “ You know her very well? ” asked Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Oh, come, Eileen; is n't that stretching things?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Oh, well, no harm done, is there, Mr. Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ On the level, Jimmy? ” “ Yea, verily, comrade in arms!
hvd.hn3gs4	“ One hundred and five thousand, you said? ” “ A few hundred either way.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Over the'phone?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Rock ’s? ” She seemed quite intimately acquaint- ed with the Cathers.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Say — it wo n't break you, will it?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ See much of Bob of late years?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Shall we dance? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Shall we dance? ” he suggested.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Silly little fib, was n't it?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ So soon? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ So you're coming back to New York? ” She broke in upon his musings.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ So — that's it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ So?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Sorry I ca n't ask you to come along, but I must pay a duty call in Gramercy Park — and you've to go to your hotel, I suppose? ” He nodded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Speaking of salary — a couple of thousand a month to begin?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Suppose that you go more deeply into the history of those twenty- six clam- like years?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Suppose that you had ambition, and some talent, too, and only needed money to get along?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Surely yesterday you did n't think me a thief, Eileen?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Surest thing — won't we, Miss Holben? ” agreed Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Tea? ” She looked from Baird to Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Thank you; no. ” “ Do n't mind if I pour myself a li'l jolt, eh? ” From the bucket beside him he lifted a bottle of champagne.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ That how it is with you? ” “ You said it. ” “ Hm. ” He cast a quick glance at her.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ That pin, you mean? ” Ladd shrugged.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ That's what I said a while ago- men's ideas of helping are- Oh, well, you would n't lend me the money, then? ” “ Have I refused? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ That's what I said a while ago- men's ideas of helping are- Oh, well, you would n't lend me the money, then? ” “ Have I refused? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ The bosses in? ” His voice unconsciously low- ered, and he flushed resentfully.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Theft is n't, though, eh? ” she countered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ There is, ” she said slowly, “ a certain- shall we call it crudity?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ There's young Ladd steals my doll, and now young Baird here grabs yours. ” “ Tired, Eileen? ” Blackmar asked, his brows lifting slightly.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ These young guys fresh from war certainly steal the gals, do n't they? ” remarked Landers.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ They naturally follow, do n't they?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Think I'd let you out with your bad arm?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Think, with all I got on the ball, I'm going to pitch for him and no one else?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Thought what?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Through?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Too much what?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Try another? ” The music had started up again.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Two ménages?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Want to hear about it, Eileen? ” “ I'd rather hear it from him,"she answered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Want to leave, Eileen? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Was I as bad as that? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Was there any particular branch of our business that appealed to you, Captain Baird? ” asked the old man.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ We have n't been intimate enough for a quar- rel, Jimmy. ” “ Then why does he think you're still out of town?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Well, Rod?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Well, are n't you? ” “ If I may."
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Well, what of it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Well? ” She tried to keep her voice steady and 236 UNEASY STREET succeeded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What about it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What am I to do first?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What are you weeping about? ” he demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What did he find out about Baird?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What did he steal? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What difference does that make?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What difference does that make? ” asked Jimmy resentfully.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What does it matter? ” asked Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What have you two quarreled about? ” Her lips curled a moment.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What is the big idea? ” she demanded.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What made you think so? ” His eye rested on her bosom.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What on earth will you do in five weeks? ” “ Marry you, I hope, ” he said.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What security would I get for my loan? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What time? ” asked Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What was it? ” called Baird, as Grannan hung up.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What's all right, Roddy me boy? ” asked Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What's he been up to now? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What's on your soul, Jimmy? ” “ On my soul, Jimmy?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What's on your soul, Jimmy? ” “ On my soul, Jimmy?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ What? ” “ You heard me.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Where did you learn all this, Jimmy? ” chaffed Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Where does a lawyer take his talent?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Where is the lady waiting?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Where we going? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Where you going?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Where? ” “ The Tramby Hotel on New Year's eve. ” She essayed a sniff.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who is he?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who is the pretty girl that you and Jimmy are rushing so strongly? ” “'Rushing?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who is the pretty girl that you and Jimmy are rushing so strongly? ” “'Rushing?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who knows exactly?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who's been cross- examined by whom? ” “ Eileen Elsing by Samuel Blackmar. ” “ Eh? ” They were in the drawing- room now.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who's been cross- examined by whom? ” “ Eileen Elsing by Samuel Blackmar. ” “ Eh? ” They were in the drawing- room now.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Who?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why did Mr. Blackmar cross- examine you? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why did she come to me? ” “ Thought you'd be interested enough to buy her off, ” suggested Jimmy.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why is it?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why not?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why not? ” “ It'd be a bit too much, ” he protested.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why not?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why should it? ” he countered.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why should n't I? ” she asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why try to deceive your uncle James? ” de- manded Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why? ” Blackmar propped himself up on the bed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Why? ” demanded Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Will you marry me, Eileen? ” he asked.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Wish to heaven I did n't know them! ” “ Why? ” Baird was frankly surprised.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ With the tale that I am stopping here? ” Baird laughed.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Would you wear it? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes? ” Baird's tone was cold.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes? ” He tried to be politely interested.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes? ” he said again.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes? ” he said.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes? ”"Lost a trunk.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ Yes?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You are- working- in New York? ” he ventured.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You ca n't pay the money, and you do n't want the alternative, eh? ” he said.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You did not mean,"she said icily, “ to let me know that you had spied last night. ” « Spied?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You do n't happen to have brought a ring with you? ” She smiled.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You do n't know? ” “ How should I? ” She smiled sweetly.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You do n't know? ” “ How should I? ” She smiled sweetly.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You do n't like him? ” said Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You do n't mind my telling you that I do n't care for it?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You had a nice talk with Frankie? ” Her eyes were very near his own.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You know my lot in Linestream? ” Gerritt, the junior partner, nodded assent.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You like my frock? ” “ I adore it — and you,"he told her.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You may take it?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You mean it? ” Flirtatiousness had left her manner now.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You mean that? ” Her eyes widened.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You mean, I take it, that you're leav- ing us? ” Baird stared at him in bewilderment.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You really have been blue, have n't you?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You really think there's a place for me in your office?"
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You remember Mr. Blackmar, Captain Baird? ” The smile on Blackmar's lips seemed faintly con- temptuous, superior, to Baird.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You'll forgive my feeling, Mr. Blackmar, that it's a matter I ca n't forget? ” The two men eyed each other a moment.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You'll say so, eh? ” Landers seemed to have taken an instantaneous fancy to Jimmy Ladd.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You're a most adorable girl! ” “ Really?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You're returning to New York, then?
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You've definitely quit real estate? ” asked Eileen.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ You've notified the hotel people? ” Lander's eyebrows lifted.
hvd.hn3gs4	“ “ Give?'
hvd.hn3gs4	“"Wrong?!
hvd.hn3gs4	“'Care?'
hvd.hn3gs4	“'Home?
hvd.hn3gs4	“'Many times,'eh?
hvd.hn3gs4	“'Proof, eh? ” Baird summoned amusement to his eyes.
hvd.hn6put	'Are you steadfast?' hvd.hn6put 'How much to let me off?'
hvd.hn6put	A family relic?
hvd.hn6put	A man had chained the woman to himself?
hvd.hn6put	A man's voice in a cry? hvd.hn6put Ah, what's the matter with your eyes?"
hvd.hn6put	Ah? hvd.hn6put Ai n't seen nothin'to make you feel bad, have you, Perfessor?"
hvd.hn6put	Ai n't you told'em, Professor Kent?
hvd.hn6put	All ready to haul?
hvd.hn6put	All?
hvd.hn6put	Already?
hvd.hn6put	Am I to infer that you have been waiting for me?
hvd.hn6put	An Indian?
hvd.hn6put	An'what kind of a seaman'd be putting of'em on a lady's wrists?
hvd.hn6put	An'wot does he do for a livin'?
hvd.hn6put	And bring down upon us unavoidably the publicity which we have escaped at so bitter a price?
hvd.hn6put	And for that reason you intend to bar me from the house? hvd.hn6put And he has come here before?"
hvd.hn6put	And now, Sedgwick,said Kent decisively,"if I'm to help you, suppose you tell me all that you know about the woman who called on you last evening?"
hvd.hn6put	And the fall broke the manacle from the right wrist?
hvd.hn6put	And the handcuffs?
hvd.hn6put	And the house was sold soon after?
hvd.hn6put	And the man broke off his?
hvd.hn6put	And west one open?
hvd.hn6put	And what can I do for you — before you leave?
hvd.hn6put	And where have you been?
hvd.hn6put	And where have you seen her since?
hvd.hn6put	And you are still looking? hvd.hn6put And you ca n't tell me who she was?"
hvd.hn6put	And you expect the stars to tell us something about my lost topazes?
hvd.hn6put	And you heard the woman cry out less than an hour later?
hvd.hn6put	And you like my picture of The Rough Rider?
hvd.hn6put	And you really met this mysterious wan- derer?
hvd.hn6put	And you want me as an accelerator, eh?
hvd.hn6put	And you'll think of me at least kindly?
hvd.hn6put	And you, I presume, are the incumbent?
hvd.hn6put	Any guess who it is?
hvd.hn6put	Any particular kind of things?
hvd.hn6put	Any scars or marks?
hvd.hn6put	Are n't you afraid of wearin'out the ink on it, Adam?
hvd.hn6put	Are you Mr. Blair? hvd.hn6put Are you asking me to run some danger?
hvd.hn6put	Are you at liberty to state what it is?
hvd.hn6put	Are you going inside?
hvd.hn6put	Are you looking for something lost?
hvd.hn6put	Are you not going to speak to me?
hvd.hn6put	Are you positive?
hvd.hn6put	Are you trying to learn me my business? hvd.hn6put Arrested on what charge?"
hvd.hn6put	As to what?
hvd.hn6put	At Lonesome Cove?
hvd.hn6put	Back from where?
hvd.hn6put	Because you've found nothing?
hvd.hn6put	Blair ill- treated her?
hvd.hn6put	Blair? hvd.hn6put Blair?"
hvd.hn6put	Body coming back?
hvd.hn6put	Breed? hvd.hn6put But how did you discover it?"
hvd.hn6put	But is it too late in your case? hvd.hn6put But not the whole truth?"
hvd.hn6put	But untrue?
hvd.hn6put	But what basis had you for suspecting me of the crime?
hvd.hn6put	But what conceivable motive could the dead woman have in dressing herself up like a party, going to meet a man, and chaining him to her- self?
hvd.hn6put	But what is there to prove it?
hvd.hn6put	But you have n't ever consulted him, your- self?
hvd.hn6put	But you're surprised to see him here?
hvd.hn6put	But, see here, Kent, can you afford it? hvd.hn6put By having him arrested?"
hvd.hn6put	By the way, what time is it?
hvd.hn6put	By whom?
hvd.hn6put	Ca n't you expand a bit? hvd.hn6put Can I see you in Boston?"
hvd.hn6put	Chance?
hvd.hn6put	Could we track the car?
hvd.hn6put	Could you tell from that tiny fragment whether or not the whole cloth is all wool?
hvd.hn6put	Did I hurt you? hvd.hn6put Did he overhear our conversation?"
hvd.hn6put	Did he seethe body?
hvd.hn6put	Did n't you know there was the same strain in young Wilfrid Blair, as there was in old Captain Hogg?
hvd.hn6put	Did none of the talk come to your ears of a strange woman found at Lonesome Cove?
hvd.hn6put	Did she show it?
hvd.hn6put	Did she throw overhand or underhand?
hvd.hn6put	Did you leave that there?
hvd.hn6put	Did you tell the crowd here that?
hvd.hn6put	Disguise?
hvd.hn6put	Do n't you know who I am?
hvd.hn6put	Do n't you see that the last thing the sheriff wants to do is arrest anybody?
hvd.hn6put	Do n't you think you overdo this business of mystification sometimes, Kent?
hvd.hn6put	Do n't you understand, Mr. Blair,he added with significant emphasis,"the source of that cry in the night, heard by Jax and Simon Groot?"
hvd.hn6put	Do n't your lamp work right, yet, Professor Kent?
hvd.hn6put	Do you do that often?
hvd.hn6put	Do you get the Agriculture Department pub- lications?
hvd.hn6put	Do you know anything of jiu- jutsu?
hvd.hn6put	Do you know him?
hvd.hn6put	Do you know most of the post- offices around here?
hvd.hn6put	Do you know of an old lady named Orcutt in Annalaka?
hvd.hn6put	Do you know room 571 at the Eyrie?
hvd.hn6put	Do you mean that she is a married woman?
hvd.hn6put	Do you think I'm going to let you take that kind of a chance for me?
hvd.hn6put	Do you understand what I mean?
hvd.hn6put	Does Dennett know the woman?
hvd.hn6put	Does she know anything of the manner of Blair's death?
hvd.hn6put	Drowned at sea?
hvd.hn6put	Eh? hvd.hn6put Eh?
hvd.hn6put	Eh? hvd.hn6put Exactly; but plus several pounds of clothing, and some dead metal extra?"
hvd.hn6put	Family?
hvd.hn6put	Find anything else?
hvd.hn6put	Flat out, Kent, do you know who the dead woman is?
hvd.hn6put	For what purpose?
hvd.hn6put	Forget it? hvd.hn6put From Gansett Jim?"
hvd.hn6put	Getting nervous?
hvd.hn6put	Going back to An- 158 HEDGEROW HOUSE nalaka, Mr. Smith? hvd.hn6put Had you ever been to this place before?"
hvd.hn6put	Has it?
hvd.hn6put	Have n't I? hvd.hn6put Have you a pamphlet issued by the Bureau of Entomology, Helmund on The Smarm Phe- nomenon in Lepidoptera?"
hvd.hn6put	Have you ever been in the house?
hvd.hn6put	Have you found or founded a new system of 33 THE SECRET OF LONESOME COVE coloring?
hvd.hn6put	Have you got any clue to him, Professor Kent?
hvd.hn6put	Have you lost your mind, Chet? hvd.hn6put Hay- ee?"
hvd.hn6put	Here?
hvd.hn6put	Him?
hvd.hn6put	Hogg's oldest sister was the grandmother of this young feller's mother, was n't she?
hvd.hn6put	How about a pass- key for the door?
hvd.hn6put	How are you, Jarvis?
hvd.hn6put	How came you by my daughter's jewels, then, if you did not take them from the body?
hvd.hn6put	How can you be sure, then, that the dead woman was my visitor?
hvd.hn6put	How could you have failed to see it?
hvd.hn6put	How did I know that Wilfrid Blair is dead?
hvd.hn6put	How did you do that?
hvd.hn6put	How do you figure that?
hvd.hn6put	How do you make that out?
hvd.hn6put	How do you propose to do it? hvd.hn6put How long since did he die?"
hvd.hn6put	How many people; two?
hvd.hn6put	How much does she know, or how little?
hvd.hn6put	How much money, would you guess?
hvd.hn6put	How much?
hvd.hn6put	How so?
hvd.hn6put	How so?
hvd.hn6put	How'd she come to be washed ashore from a wreck between last night and this morn- ing?
hvd.hn6put	How'd she come to be washed ashore from a wreck, anyway?
hvd.hn6put	How'd the grating get there, then?
hvd.hn6put	How'd you know I got the picture?
hvd.hn6put	How's a self- respecting lawyer going to earn a fee out of that? hvd.hn6put Howdy, Professor?
hvd.hn6put	Huh?
hvd.hn6put	Huh?
hvd.hn6put	Insane?
hvd.hn6put	Iry? hvd.hn6put Is he the author of Blair's Studies of Neuropterae?"
hvd.hn6put	Is he well?
hvd.hn6put	Is it about the news- papers?
hvd.hn6put	Is it possible that she foresaw her death?
hvd.hn6put	Is it possible that you really believe it?
hvd.hn6put	Is n't he about the hotel?
hvd.hn6put	Is n't it very painful?
hvd.hn6put	Is that all the information I get?
hvd.hn6put	Is that so?
hvd.hn6put	Is there an army post near by?
hvd.hn6put	It was you who found the body?
hvd.hn6put	It would look so, in the light of what has hap- pened, would n't it? hvd.hn6put It's curious how they all come in here, is n't it?"
hvd.hn6put	It's simply a case of crazy woman; is n't it, Professor Kent?
hvd.hn6put	Just a trifle non- committal, is n't it? hvd.hn6put Just because I'm a scientific man, is it to be assumed that I ought to be a frump?
hvd.hn6put	Just ten years ago that you graduated, was n't it?
hvd.hn6put	Kent, for the love of heaven, ca n't you do something for me?
hvd.hn6put	Last evening? hvd.hn6put Let's drop the subject for the time being, wo n't you?
hvd.hn6put	Like some more pillows?
hvd.hn6put	Manacled? hvd.hn6put May I get him to bring me?"
hvd.hn6put	Memory? hvd.hn6put More dev- ilment from the old Haven?
hvd.hn6put	Mostly? hvd.hn6put Mr. Kent, you, too?
hvd.hn6put	Mr. Kent? hvd.hn6put My dear Frank,"said the other quietly,"if there were anything I could do, do n't you think I'd be doing it?
hvd.hn6put	No? hvd.hn6put Nor any officers on special detail about?"
hvd.hn6put	North window closed?
hvd.hn6put	Not another murder?
hvd.hn6put	Not the Professor Kent of the Ramsay case?
hvd.hn6put	Not the same as the footprint, eh?
hvd.hn6put	Not washed up there, surely?
hvd.hn6put	Not? hvd.hn6put Not?"
hvd.hn6put	Now what does that mean?
hvd.hn6put	Now, Mr. Dennett, whom do you suppose this to be?
hvd.hn6put	Now, what cock- and- bull story has Alexander Blair told her?
hvd.hn6put	Now,said he,"what is this matter?
hvd.hn6put	Now? hvd.hn6put Of what use is my gun?
hvd.hn6put	Of what?
hvd.hn6put	Officially? hvd.hn6put Oh, are you all against me?"
hvd.hn6put	Oh, is it as bad as that?
hvd.hn6put	Oh; is it Blair that the Indian works for? hvd.hn6put Oh; was that Jupiter?
hvd.hn6put	On the scientific side?
hvd.hn6put	On what basis?
hvd.hn6put	Or are you calling your- 334 REWARDS self Mr. Blair nowadays? hvd.hn6put Or by introducing a large pendant earring which the copier has left out?"
hvd.hn6put	Or what she may think?
hvd.hn6put	Ought I to be ready for arrest?
hvd.hn6put	Pardon me?
hvd.hn6put	People are inclined to connect Mr. Sedgwick with the death of the woman?
hvd.hn6put	Perhaps you've heard something of this man?
hvd.hn6put	Possibly you did n't notice a cut on the cheek?
hvd.hn6put	Proof? hvd.hn6put Publicity is not to Mr. Blair's taste, then?"
hvd.hn6put	Pursuit? hvd.hn6put Racial instinct?
hvd.hn6put	Relics? hvd.hn6put Repair?"
hvd.hn6put	Right for what?
hvd.hn6put	Rough or smooth?
hvd.hn6put	Say, heard about the body on the beach?
hvd.hn6put	Say, who's runnin'this thing, anyhow? hvd.hn6put Say,"said he presently,"what's them queer little marks on the neck, under the ear?"
hvd.hn6put	Seafaring man, are n't you?
hvd.hn6put	Sedgwick; what was it your visitor said to you about Jupiter?
hvd.hn6put	Sedgwick?
hvd.hn6put	See what? hvd.hn6put Seems kinder int'rested, do n't he?"
hvd.hn6put	Seen any- thing? hvd.hn6put Setting up for an art critic, are we?"
hvd.hn6put	She was n't drowned?
hvd.hn6put	Since when?
hvd.hn6put	Sit with us, wo n't you? hvd.hn6put Slaves?"
hvd.hn6put	So you've got a gun on you, eh?
hvd.hn6put	Something queer about this Blair death?
hvd.hn6put	Sort of self- hypnosis?
hvd.hn6put	Spoilt? hvd.hn6put Still here, sir?"
hvd.hn6put	Still in the livery business, I suppose?
hvd.hn6put	Suppose the other was not left dangling?
hvd.hn6put	Surely that is n't enough?
hvd.hn6put	That is Alexander Blair's version of the tragedy?
hvd.hn6put	That is how far from here?
hvd.hn6put	That is n't quite fair, is it?
hvd.hn6put	That would naturally be the murderer, would n't it?
hvd.hn6put	The body has n't been identi- fied, I suppose?
hvd.hn6put	The great game?
hvd.hn6put	The mind- reader? hvd.hn6put The trail of the real murderer?"
hvd.hn6put	Then I may look for you again?
hvd.hn6put	Then did the other man, the man whom Jax heard cry out, walk without leaving any trace?
hvd.hn6put	Then he died within two hours or so?
hvd.hn6put	Then he does n't use this post- office?
hvd.hn6put	Then how did you expect to find it?
hvd.hn6put	Then how was it made?
hvd.hn6put	Then it was early when he met this woman?
hvd.hn6put	Then that is n't the coming adventure?
hvd.hn6put	Then the woman of Lonesome Cove bor- rowed that name from some old record?
hvd.hn6put	Then what do you think?
hvd.hn6put	Then who — what is buried in his grave at Hedgerow House?
hvd.hn6put	Then who, in heaven's name, is or was As- trsea?
hvd.hn6put	Then why are you so pleased with yourself?
hvd.hn6put	Then why did you leave out this earring in copying the picture?
hvd.hn6put	Then why do I find him here with you to- night: this night of all nights?
hvd.hn6put	Then you do n't think it is the woman of the beach?
hvd.hn6put	Then —224 THE MEETING"Marjorie,"interrupted Mr. Blair,"do you know this man?"
hvd.hn6put	Then, Mr. Smith, will you take a look at those lashings and tell me whether in your opinion they are the work of a sailor?
hvd.hn6put	There they hang; and with'em the chains and —"Is n't that lamp finished yet?
hvd.hn6put	There will be no arrest, then?
hvd.hn6put	They were valuable, these jewels?
hvd.hn6put	Those?
hvd.hn6put	Time enough? hvd.hn6put Time enough?"
hvd.hn6put	To that charlatan? hvd.hn6put Waiting for what?"
hvd.hn6put	Was Mr. Francis Sedgwick with you that night?
hvd.hn6put	Was she the thief?
hvd.hn6put	Was the old boy a cannibal?
hvd.hn6put	Wat yer gittin'with that rig?
hvd.hn6put	Well, do you consider that we've made a friend?
hvd.hn6put	Well, how do you account for that?
hvd.hn6put	Well, if I was taken for another man,said the puzzled astrologist,"why did n't she say so when she saw me?"
hvd.hn6put	Well, what about you?
hvd.hn6put	Well, what are you doing?
hvd.hn6put	Well?
hvd.hn6put	Were you alone when you found it?
hvd.hn6put	Wh- wh- whut'll I say? hvd.hn6put Whah was he the night of the killin'?"
hvd.hn6put	What about Gansett Jim? hvd.hn6put What about her gloves?"
hvd.hn6put	What about me?
hvd.hn6put	What about the ship?
hvd.hn6put	What am I up against? hvd.hn6put What are you doing on my property at this hour?"
hvd.hn6put	What are you going to do with me?
hvd.hn6put	What are you trying to get at?
hvd.hn6put	What became of Sedgwick?
hvd.hn6put	What brings him?
hvd.hn6put	What did she say when she saw you?
hvd.hn6put	What did the sheriff mean by asking Gansett Jim where he was the night of the murder?
hvd.hn6put	What do you do here?
hvd.hn6put	What do you know of love?
hvd.hn6put	What do you think?
hvd.hn6put	What do you want?
hvd.hn6put	What does it matter?
hvd.hn6put	What else can I do?
hvd.hn6put	What else can you expect?
hvd.hn6put	What else is there for us to do?
hvd.hn6put	What else should it be?
hvd.hn6put	What for?
hvd.hn6put	What has been passing, here? hvd.hn6put What has that planetary lunatic got to say that wo n't keep?"
hvd.hn6put	What he follow for?
hvd.hn6put	What in the world has wall- hopping to do with self- defense?
hvd.hn6put	What interest did Schlager and Bain have in the matter?
hvd.hn6put	What is it?
hvd.hn6put	What is that?
hvd.hn6put	What is there to be seen there, since you've said there are no marks?
hvd.hn6put	What kind of a person was he?
hvd.hn6put	What kind of a ship'ud be carryin''em now- adays?
hvd.hn6put	What mur- der?
hvd.hn6put	What occurred in the house where they took it?
hvd.hn6put	What of it?
hvd.hn6put	What on earth are you doing behind that bush?
hvd.hn6put	What passed between you?
hvd.hn6put	What were you doing on Hawkill Cliffs?
hvd.hn6put	What's it doing there?
hvd.hn6put	What's that gibberish?
hvd.hn6put	What's that?
hvd.hn6put	What's the game?
hvd.hn6put	What's what?
hvd.hn6put	What's wrong with it?
hvd.hn6put	When did you lose it, if it's not an impertinent question?
hvd.hn6put	When was it lost, then?
hvd.hn6put	When was that?
hvd.hn6put	When?
hvd.hn6put	Where can I get some tobacco?
hvd.hn6put	Where is the interment to be?
hvd.hn6put	Where was it, then?
hvd.hn6put	Where was my wits?
hvd.hn6put	Where's the body?
hvd.hn6put	Where?
hvd.hn6put	Which you did n't succeed in doing?
hvd.hn6put	Which?
hvd.hn6put	While taking that walk you spoke of?
hvd.hn6put	Who are they?
hvd.hn6put	Who are you?
hvd.hn6put	Who calls it? hvd.hn6put Who clubbed me?"
hvd.hn6put	Who did you say he was?
hvd.hn6put	Who discovered that the burial was a false one?
hvd.hn6put	Who else could it possibly be?
hvd.hn6put	Who ever said I did n't take'em from the body?
hvd.hn6put	Who gave it to you?
hvd.hn6put	Who have come?
hvd.hn6put	Who is he, anyway?
hvd.hn6put	Who is it with him?
hvd.hn6put	Who is this Dennett?
hvd.hn6put	Who was she?
hvd.hn6put	Who was the attending physician?
hvd.hn6put	Who, then?
hvd.hn6put	Who, then?
hvd.hn6put	Who?
hvd.hn6put	Whose were the footprints, that you found, Jim?
hvd.hn6put	Why could n't you have said so at first and saved this discussion?
hvd.hn6put	Why did you set that line there?
hvd.hn6put	Why do n't you move your things from the hotel and stay here with me?
hvd.hn6put	Why does the sheriff want me killed?
hvd.hn6put	Why not?
hvd.hn6put	Why not?
hvd.hn6put	Why should any one put one handcuff on a woman and leave the other dangling?
hvd.hn6put	Why so?
hvd.hn6put	Why was Mr. Sedgwick so eager to recover the trail, if he had not murder in his mind?
hvd.hn6put	Why, there has been time enough, has n't there?
hvd.hn6put	Wil- frid's body is where?
hvd.hn6put	Will you accept the commission?
hvd.hn6put	Will you drag our name, hers as well as mine, in the mud?
hvd.hn6put	With your signature on my certificate?
hvd.hn6put	With, or without me?
hvd.hn6put	Wonder if he knowed the corpse?
hvd.hn6put	Wot ye got there?
hvd.hn6put	Would you know the face of Camilla Gros- venor?
hvd.hn6put	Would you mind being more specific? hvd.hn6put Yes; but what constitutes body- snatching?"
hvd.hn6put	Yes? hvd.hn6put You are known, hereabouts?"
hvd.hn6put	You do n't see it yet?
hvd.hn6put	You found his trail?
hvd.hn6put	You got a theery? hvd.hn6put You have made no complaint, or published no advertisements for them?"
hvd.hn6put	You made no attempt to trace the woman?
hvd.hn6put	You mean reimburse the subscribers?
hvd.hn6put	You mean that I shall be accused of having a hand in her death?
hvd.hn6put	You mean the grave at Hedgerow House?
hvd.hn6put	You never saw her left hand, did you?
hvd.hn6put	You recognize it, though?
hvd.hn6put	You remember the — the picture of the face?
hvd.hn6put	You sell?
hvd.hn6put	You want to see Tim Breed?
hvd.hn6put	You was going to swim into Dead Man's Eddy?
hvd.hn6put	You were going to say'and handcuffs', were n't you?
hvd.hn6put	You wish me to subscribe?
hvd.hn6put	You would claim the body?

hvd.hn6put	You're an artist, are n't you?
hvd.hn6put	You're sure?
hvd.hn6put	You've examined it yourself?
hvd.hn6put	You? hvd.hn6put Your sister?"

hvd.hn6put	But somehow I — we — Will six citizens kindly volunteer to fetch the coffin back to my house?"

hvd.hn6put	But what about your reputation?"
hvd.hn6put	But what became of him?"
hvd.hn6put	But what damnable lie have you told her?"

hvd.hn6put	But why am I worth so much trouble to know?
hvd.hn6put	But why did he write the letter to Preston Jax for her to sign?"

hvd.hn6put	Finally, what con- nection has^all this with the body lying in Anna- laka burying- ground?"
hvd.hn6put	For long?"
hvd.hn6put	For what possible reason, in your belief, should I have killed him?"
hvd.hn6put	For what?"
hvd.hn6put	From what you do know, what do you think the sheriff meant?"
hvd.hn6put	Got it?
hvd.hn6put	Gov- ernment salaries do n't make men rich, do they?"
hvd.hn6put	Groot?"
hvd.hn6put	Had its occu- pants deserted it?

hvd.hn6put	Have you gone in for local society?"
hvd.hn6put	Have you the orig- inal here?"
hvd.hn6put	Have you turned Trappist monk?"
hvd.hn6put	He leaned over her:"'What shall assuage the unforgotten pain And teach the unforgetful to forget?'"
hvd.hn6put	He turned to the wall border again, and faced another picture out"What's this?
hvd.hn6put	How could I think with her lying there?
hvd.hn6put	How could it have been a rendezvous, when I came here, as you know, for another purpose?"
hvd.hn6put	How did you find me?"

hvd.hx2ycb	Retire or advance?

hvd.hx2ycb	Was it a new or an old grief?
hvd.hx2ycb	Was it mere physical fear, the insensate horror and repulsion that sometimes seizes men on contact with an avowed criminal?

hvd.hx2ycb	Would you mind packing up the books on the table and the little traps around the room?
hvd.hx2ycb	You two trying to murder each other? ” “ Nary a bit, my friend!

hvd.hx2ycb	“ And had n't ye heard the foine news, Master Phil?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And how are Mary and the babies?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And how long since you came down from there? ” “ About two years ago. ” DISCOURAGEMENT.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And now what has my small mentor to sug- gest?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And where else would you be expictin'to see me, in faith?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And you have really loved me through it all? ” His voice was solemn with awe and thanksgiving.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And you lost her?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ And your name? ” he said, briefly.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Andrew,"he said, haltingly, “ the children- where are they? ” A shadow of vexation crossed Murphy's face, He had anticipated the inquiry."
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Any men needed on wood- work, Jobson? ” “ We could make use of half a dozen more hands, Mr. Blakeman.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Are you sure you are not putting it a little too strong, Mr. King? ” demanded Mr. Clayton, pee- vishly.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ But how, Mrs. McKinehan?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ But if I have nothing to tell?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ By the way, King, what are you doing now? ”.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Ca n't I help you, Aunt Marcia? ”.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Did you come by this money hon- estly?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Did you ever hear of anything so funny in your life? ” appealed King's next neighbor, a girl of 176 THE MAN WHO WAS GUILTY.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do n't they bring damnation enough to men already on the road to hell, to leave the honest ones alone?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do n't you know you're playing the fool, young man, encouraging street beggary and the like? ” he demanded, testily.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do n't you remember me, Mr. McAllister?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do you suppose I do not remember — have not remembered — all these years?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do you suppose it can be traced?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do you think they will blame me, King? ” “ No fear of that.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Do you think — would she have been at all like me? ” God!
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Doctor, ” — the young girl laid her hand on the surgeon's arm, —"is there any danger?

hvd.hx2ycb	“ Have you been a prisoner? ” The questionet leaned forward in surprise.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Have you been away, Mr. King, or — what have I been saying? ” She turned, dismayed, from one to the other.

hvd.hx2ycb	“ I am very sorry for the poor fellows, Ruther- ford, ” he declared, with singular constraint, “ but what do you want me to do? ”.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ I wint up that way the day we came back, d'ye remember?

hvd.hx2ycb	“ Is he a man of cheerful disposition? ” Murphy drew Philip King through the door into the next room.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Is it a pain in the chest?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ King has erred, it is true, ” he argued; “ but how many men in the community are exempt from blame?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ King, how are you? ” Voice and words and manner unchanged.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Know him? ” queried the reporter, sharply.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Ladies, are you passing judgment on Philip King? ” The General confronted the questioner in evident THE SKIRMISH BEFORE THE BATTLE.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Let me see, what was your trade, Ellis?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Master Philip? ” The old soul was incredu- lous.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ May I ask what is the charge against you?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Mean?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Mr. King, what do you mean?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Mr. King, why did you come to me?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ My dear Madame, where have you been?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Per- haps you will be good enough to tell me what you did consider — a picturesque view, for instance, or the retirement of the place?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Philip! ” he said, abruptly, as the latter con- cluded his statement, “ why do n't you marry her? ” “ Marry whom?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Philip! ” he said, abruptly, as the latter con- cluded his statement, “ why do n't you marry her? ” “ Marry whom?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Philip, will you tell me do horses and pigs have wings when they die?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Pretty hard work to grub a living from this soil, old man?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Pretty little creature, is n't it?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ See here, Dick, do you know this fellow's ante- cedents? ” “ I only know he was at work on the wall when we took him.

hvd.hx2ycb	“ Warden Eames, I suppose?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Was n't there some talk about a pardon at the time of the big fire? ” asked King, after a short hesitancy.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Was she there? ” he anxiously queried.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Well, what ’re you keeping the court waiting for?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Well, what's wanted? ” “ Work. ” 66 What trade? ” “ Carpenter- cabinet- maker. ” “ What name? ” “ Philip King."

hvd.hx2ycb	“ What did you do with the money, King? ” he asked, after a short pause.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ What do you suppose we, your friends, have felt? ”.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ What is it, Stubbs?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ What name? ” “ Philip King. ” The ex- convict possesses one questionable advan- tage over his fellow- men.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ What wretched buffoonery is this, King? ” he demanded, sternly.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ What, King?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ What?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Where did you learn your trade? ” The super- intendent was a tenacious man, and the brief delay only served to whet his impatience.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Where did you learn your trade?"
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Where is the Marquis, Mr. King? ” “ Yes, where is the Marquis?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Where is the Marquis, Mr. King? ” “ Yes, where is the Marquis?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Where's the money they gave you when you were discharged? ” “ Money!
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Where's your manners, Philip King?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Why do n't you go? ” “ To that accursed den of infamy!
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Will you allow me to see a sick prisoner? ”.
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Will you be after belavin'in the new- fangled notion of spiritoolism?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Will you come into Miss Thaxter's little print- room, Mr. King, and give us the benefit of your opinion regarding the Rembrandt etchings?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Will you let me tell you where I think you bave erred?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Yes?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ You do not mind?
hvd.hx2ycb	“ Your children?"
hvd.hx2ycb	” 66 Yes? ” A mild interrogation crept unconsciously into his speech, which was all that was needed to draw out the guileless débutante.

hvd.hwkyrz	Absolutely out of the question! ” “ May I ask why it is out of the question? ” Mr. Hamil- ton Fynes inquired. hvd.hwkyrz An accident?"
hvd.hwkyrz	And if I have, my young friend, ” he said calmly, “ what the devil business is it of yours? ”. hvd.hwkyrz And what do you mean by asking me what I mean by it?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Are you in earnest, sir? ” he asked. hvd.hwkyrz As, for instance? ” the Inspector asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	By the bye, do you think there would be any chance of five minutes'interview with your chief? ”. hvd.hwkyrz Did he die in his sleep, I wonder? ” the station- master asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	Did you see much of Mr. Fynes on the other side, Mr. Coulson?
hvd.hwkyrz	I am to live in these two rooms? ” he demanded. hvd.hwkyrz Indeed? ” he said.
hvd.hwkyrz	Is he dead? ” the station- master asked. hvd.hwkyrz Is n't this a trifle indiscreet? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	Is there anything the matter? ” she asked. hvd.hwkyrz It is possible, ” he said,"that by this time Mr. — Mr. Smith, shall we call him, to match your Mr. Jones?
hvd.hwkyrz	Mr. Coulson,he said, “ will you allow me the privi- lege of offering you some refreshment? ” “ I thank you, sir, ” Mr. Coulson answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Mr. Vanderpole is a great friend of yours, Duchess? ” he asked. hvd.hwkyrz Some day, I suppose,"the Duchess remarked, as the service of dinner drew toward a close,"you will have restaurants like this in Tokio?".
hvd.hwkyrz	Were you shadowed on the boat? ” the young man asked. hvd.hwkyrz Where can I be alone and read this?"
hvd.hwkyrz	You are making a long stay here, Mr. Coulson? ” he asked. hvd.hwkyrz 180 THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE “ Neither in the case of Mr. Hamilton Fynes or in the case of Mr. Richard Vanderpole?
hvd.hwkyrz	321 “ Soto, what is this? ” the Prince asked sternly.
hvd.hwkyrz	80 THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE"Has anything happened to Dicky? ” Somerfield asked quickly.
hvd.hwkyrz	A week, a year, a span of years, 244 THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE- of what account are they to us who have sipped ever so lightly at the great cup?
hvd.hwkyrz	After that, what does it matter?
hvd.hwkyrz	Amongst them is one concerning which I should like to speak to you. ” “ To me, sir? ” Inspector Jacks repeated.
hvd.hwkyrz	Are you going back to London in the motor- car, then? ” “ Yes! ” the patient answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Are you really going to waste your last evening in talking about treaties and such trifles? ”"I am afraid I must, ” he answered regretfully.
hvd.hwkyrz	At least we can ask you why? ” The Prince sighed.
hvd.hwkyrz	Besides, that is a plain letter from the head of a business firm to — shall we say a client?
hvd.hwkyrz	But if they were? ” He raised her fingers to his lips and kissed them.
hvd.hwkyrz	But there is one subject in which I think I am wholly with my own country. ” “ And that?"
hvd.hwkyrz	But, apart from the sentimental side of it, do things like this happen in your country? ” “ Why not? ” the Prince answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	But, apart from the sentimental side of it, do things like this happen in your country? ” “ Why not? ” the Prince answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	By the bye, have you any friends with you?"
hvd.hwkyrz	By what time do you suppose that we shall reach London?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Ca n't you understand, ” she added, speaking in a tone of greater intensity, “ that that is why I hate him?
hvd.hwkyrz	Can I trouble you for your address? ” “ I am staying at Devenham House for the moment, ” she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Can you tell me whether he has arrived yet?
hvd.hwkyrz	Coulson, is n't it? ” the young man asked, accept- ing the other's outstretched hand.
hvd.hwkyrz	Did Mr. Fynes share secrets with Mr. Coulson?
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you agree with me, Miss Morse? ” “ I suppose so,"she faltered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you know anything? ” “ Not a d — d thing! ” Coulson answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you know that you were a quarter of an hour late?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you mean that you would look at home for the mur- derer?
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you read history, Mr. Jacks? ” The Inspector was doubtful.
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you really wish, sir, that the murderer or murderers of these two men shall be brought to justice?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you think he would have anything to do with them?
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you want to hear anything more about Mr. Hamilton Fynes? ” “ Of course I do, ” he declared.
hvd.hwkyrz	Do you, Bransome? ” “ None whatever, sir. ” “ I leave it to you to put it in your own words, ” Mr. Smith continued.
hvd.hwkyrz	Even now you are asking yourself,'What does he want to say to me — Prince Maiyo?
hvd.hwkyrz	Great boat, the Lusi- tania, is n't she?
hvd.hwkyrz	Has any arrest been made yet? ” MR. COULSON OUTMATCHED 95 “ Not yet, ” the Inspector admitted.
hvd.hwkyrz	Has it ever fallen to your lot to make a mistake? ” “ Very often indeed, ” the Inspector admitted frankly.
hvd.hwkyrz	Have they any idea who did it? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	Have you any objection, Prince, to discussing a certain matter here with us?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Have you felt anything of the sort?
hvd.hwkyrz	Have you seen the second edition? ” The girl shook her head.
hvd.hwkyrz	He does n't go in for sports, does he?
hvd.hwkyrz	He hired a special train and went down like a prince. ” “ What did he do that for?"
hvd.hwkyrz	He travelled about so much in later years, too, did n't he? ” Penelope's eyes were suddenly upraised.
hvd.hwkyrz	How can I have helped you? ” The Inspector stood very still for a brief space of time, very still and very silent.
hvd.hwkyrz	I am over here on a business trip, which I have just concluded. ” “ Satisfactorily, I trust? ” Sir Edward remarked.
hvd.hwkyrz	I believe I am one of the few people who could put the police upon the right track. ” “ Is there any reason why you should n’t? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	I ca n't make head nor tail of it. ” “ He had the papers, of course? ” “ Sewn in the lining of his coat, ” Coulson muttered.
hvd.hwkyrz	I fear that, for obvious reasons, my people would hardly be able to anticipate your wants. ” “ And about that examination?"
hvd.hwkyrz	I have n't quite made up my mind to do that yet. ” “ Tell me this? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	I presume you read your newspapers? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	I shall find you here, perhaps? ” “ Here or amongst the chaperons, ” she answered, as they passed on.
hvd.hwkyrz	I speak without authority, you understand?
hvd.hwkyrz	I suppose you are thinking what an indiscreet person I am, as usual? ” The young man considered the matter for a moment.
hvd.hwkyrz	I take it that your mind is made up, — you have arrived at definite conclusions?."
hvd.hwkyrz	I take it that your views are unchanged? ” The Prince assented.
hvd.hwkyrz	I thank you very much for it, but I must decline. ” “ Your mind is quite made up? ” the Prince asked regretfully.
hvd.hwkyrz	I trust that I have not unconsciously transgressed against your laws? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	I want to tell it you as quickly as possible and get away. ” “ À propos of our last conversation? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hwkyrz	I wanted to ask you to accept that position in my household for two months. ” “ Do you mean come and live here? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	I'll come and sit with you for half an hour next visiting day, if I may? ” he added, turning to the patient.
hvd.hwkyrz	I've got it in my room if you'd care to see it? ” Mr. Jacks listened to his companion's words with un- changed face.
hvd.hwkyrz	In one way or another, from the Emperor to the poor runner in the streets, we work. ”"Is there nothing which you will regret? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	In what fresh direction should you look then for the murderers of these two men? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hwkyrz	Inspector Jacks, between ourselves, you are just a little interested in me, is it not so? ” The detective was dumb.
hvd.hwkyrz	Inspector Jacks, have you discovered the murderer yet? ” “ Not yet, ” the detective answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Inspector? ” “ Holding the back of a taxicab, corner of Regent Street and Haymarket, ” Inspector Jacks reminded him.
hvd.hwkyrz	Is he going to ask me ques- tions, or will he tell me things which I should like to hear?'
hvd.hwkyrz	Is it not so?
hvd.hwkyrz	Is n't it possible to speak now and then of the present?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Is some one trying to make a record round the world? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	Is there any chance, do you think, Coulson, that this was an ordinary robbery?
hvd.hwkyrz	Is there any- thing more I can do for you? ” Inspector Jacks hesitated.
hvd.hwkyrz	Is this true? ”[ Page 26 MISS PENELOPE MORSE 27 once more.
hvd.hwkyrz	It is as you say. ” “ You like him personally, do n't you? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	It seems rather odd that he should have provided himself with these, does n't it? ” “ They were easy enough to get, ” Mr. Coulson answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	It's a pretty stiff amount, is n't it? ” “ It is, ” the Inspector admitted.
hvd.hwkyrz	Life has been a pleasant thing for me here. ” “ Why do you go so soon? ” she whispered.
hvd.hwkyrz	MISS PENELOPE MORSE 25 “ Will you pardon my asking, madam, if you have seen the newspapers this morning? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwkyrz	MR. COULSON OUTMATCHED 93 “ It's Mr. Jacks, is n't it? ” he asked, holding out his hand.
hvd.hwkyrz	Might be General Manager to hear him swear. ”"Is she signalled yet?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Mr. Jacks, ” she added, as the door closed, “ what do you mean?
hvd.hwkyrz	My duties are to be simply to treat you? ” “ When required, ” the Prince remarked dryly.
hvd.hwkyrz	Now can you tell me of anything in the man's life or way of living likely to provoke enmity on the part of any one?
hvd.hwkyrz	Now, put it in a business form, what can I do for you?
hvd.hwkyrz	Or do you mean that Scot- land Yard would have its orders, and that these men would go free?"
hvd.hwkyrz	PENELOPE INTERVENES 123 “ Does the Duchess know that you are taking me?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Perhaps you know the reason for his coming to Europe? ” The girl shook her head, ming to Eng?
hvd.hwkyrz	Perhaps you know the reason for his coming to Europe? ” The girl shook her head, ming to Eng?
hvd.hwkyrz	Prince, shall we let these young people follow us?
hvd.hwkyrz	Prince, you know my daughter Grace, and I am sure that you have met Miss Penelope Morse?
hvd.hwkyrz	Promise that until then you will not let me hear the sound of the word marriage? ” “ I promise, ” he said firmly.
hvd.hwkyrz	Shall I find your father in the library, Lady Grace? ” “ Yes! ” she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Shall we fetch you from the refreshment room when we are ready? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	Shall we have another turn?".
hvd.hwkyrz	Sup- posing I say that, believing you now to have a guilty knowledge of this murder, I repudiate our bargain?
hvd.hwkyrz	Sup- posing I should? ”"The matter would arrange itself in precisely the same way, ” the Prince answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	THE ANSWER 189 “ Sidney, will you see this gentleman out? ” he said.
hvd.hwkyrz	THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE “ What, now? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me quickly what it is that has happened? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me something about the future?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me what it is?
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me what you have been doing to- day? ” “ Pretty strenuous time, ” Sir Charles remarked.
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me what you thought of that marvellous restaurant where I saw you the other morning? ” The doctor drew a little breath.
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me, have you had any fortune yet?
hvd.hwkyrz	Tell me, is the way homeward safe for you? ” “ Wonderful person! ” Prince Maiyo said, smiling.
hvd.hwkyrz	That is so, is n't it? ”"Sure! ” Mr. Coulson answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	That is the word, is it not?
hvd.hwkyrz	The odds do not seem even, do they? ” “ Put in that way, ” Dr. Whiles admitted,"they cer- tainly do not.
hvd.hwkyrz	The only question for you to decide is whether A PRISONER 259 “ Penelope is coming, ” she said quickly, —"you know that?
hvd.hwkyrz	There must be others — why not your own groom?"
hvd.hwkyrz	They also have one other point of similitude. ” “ What is that? ” Penelope asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	They did, but how?
hvd.hwkyrz	To be silent together is a proof of great friendship, is it not?
hvd.hwkyrz	Was it a woman?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Was it heart disease? ” The doctor did not reply for a moment.
hvd.hwkyrz	Was that really the tinkling of a guitar, the perfume of almond and cherry blossom, floating to him down the warm wind?
hvd.hwkyrz	We had better not discuss possibilities, I suppose?
hvd.hwkyrz	What Mr. Jones asks you is — what would be your position if it should take place?
hvd.hwkyrz	What about that other friend of yours? ” Sir Edward glanced at his watch.
hvd.hwkyrz	What bothers me is an entirely different question. ” “ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	What brought them?
hvd.hwkyrz	What can I have told you?
hvd.hwkyrz	What have they to do with Mr. Hamilton Fynes? ” The clerk pointed to the open door of a small private office.
hvd.hwkyrz	What was the special gift, she wondered, which gave this man such insight?
hvd.hwkyrz	What would she think of him?
hvd.hwkyrz	When are the rest of them coming through? ”"Three specials leave here at nine o'clock to- morrow morning,"was the reply.
hvd.hwkyrz	When is the great arrest to take place?"
hvd.hwkyrz	When we go back, it is our reward. ” “ Then you are here now for her good? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	Who's driving her? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	Why have you sent for me?
hvd.hwkyrz	Why not?
hvd.hwkyrz	Will you allow me to send you something — a little brandy, perhaps? ” “ Nothing, thank you, ” she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Will you be content with that?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Will you come one night, if I get up a party? ” “ Oh, perhaps! ” she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Will you get some programmes, Sir Charles? ” Somerfield stopped for a minute, under pretence of seek- ing some change, and tore open his paper.
hvd.hwkyrz	Will you let me know, if you please, how much I owe you?"
hvd.hwkyrz	Will you take them with you? ” “ Why, sure! ” Vanderpole answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	Wo n't you tell me what it is?
hvd.hwkyrz	Would they let me ride for you? ” Nothing the Prince could have said would have as- tonished the little company more.
hvd.hwkyrz	You are not busy, I hope?
hvd.hwkyrz	You are not from my old friends Spencer& Miles, are you? ” “ Spencer& Miles, ” the young man repeated thought- fully.
hvd.hwkyrz	You are sure that the English doctor has had no opportunity of communicating with any one? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	You can talk with me for five minutes? ” The Inspector hesitated for a moment.
hvd.hwkyrz	You come to me, perhaps, from him? ” The Inspector shook his head.
hvd.hwkyrz	You had some reason, I presume, for wishing to see me? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	You mean that you have men so devoted to their native land that they were willing to run the risk of death by the hangman to aid her?
hvd.hwkyrz	You mean that your Secret Service is perfected to that extent, and that the scales of justice are held blindfolded?
hvd.hwkyrz	You mean this seriously? ” She gave him her hands and a very sad little smile.
hvd.hwkyrz	You read the newspapers of this country? ” “ Invariably,"the Ambassador answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	You will pardon me, Duchess?
hvd.hwkyrz	You're an outrageous flirt, I know, but you and I are never likely to get sentimental about one another. ” “ Why not? ” he grumbled.
hvd.hwkyrz	[ Page 149 150 THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE “ You ’ ve arranged about Maiyo coming down to you next week? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ A Japanese? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ And now, tell me, when are you going to electrify us all?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ And yet, if we had n't, what difference would it have made?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ And your name? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Are they symbols — the cord and the knife of destiny? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Are you off at once? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Are you sure of that, Pen? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ At what time do you usually lunch? ” The doctor smiled.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Ca n't you understand why I am here? ” she cried passionately.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Can I go out without seeing those others? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Can not you answer my question here? ” “ If madam will be so good, ” he persisted.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Can you patch me up till I get to London? ” The doctor looked him over.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Can you tell me, ” she asked, “ if Mr. Hamilton Fynes is staying here?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Climate and flowers only? ” she murmured.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Come, the other? ” the Prince remarked encouragingly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Dicky, ” she said, “ do you read the newspapers? ” “ Well, I ca n't say that I do regularly, ” he answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Did he say anything when you discovered them? ” the Ambassador asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Did you call him Prince? ” Inspector Jacks sighed.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Did you know anything of the object of his journey to Europe? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Did you say that you were expecting him by the Lusitania, madam? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Did you wish to speak to me? ” Sir Edward asked, drawing back from the step of his electric brougham.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do I understand that this young man came to you as a complete stranger? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you accept my offer? ” “ If I should refuse? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you accept my offer? ” “ If I should refuse? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you hear that?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you know that I was building up quite a romance about poor Mr. Fynes'life?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you know who lives there? ” The inspector nodded.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you mean that they do not take exercise,"he asked,"that they never breathe the fresh air? ” The Prince smiled.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you mean that you will go back for always?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you mean, sir, that they do not go out for holidays, for exercise, to the theatre? ” The Prince shook his head.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you mind, ” he asked, “ if I come, too, and Bran- some? ” “ Why, of course not, ” the Duke replied.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Do you see the time? ” 66 THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE Vanderpole glanced at the clock and whistled softly to himself.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Does the chief want me at all? ” Coulson asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ For what purpose? ” the Prince asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ From Scotland Yard, I understand, Mr. Jacks? ” he remarked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ From whom does the letter come? ” The young man hesitated.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Has any one been arrested?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Have n't you any luggage, though? ”"I checked what I had through from Liverpool to the hotel, ” Mr. Coulson answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Have n’t I told you that I never read the papers?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Have you any idea what department? ” Mr. Coulson was not sure.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Have you been reading the sensational papers, or stuffing yourself up with jingoism, or what? ” She laughed.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ He is odd, though, is n't he?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ He seems to be a great deal in your thoughts lately, Penelope. ” “ Why not? ” she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ He sent me a marconigram before he arrived at Queenstown. ” “ Is that so? ” Mr. Coulson exclaimed.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ He was as bad a correspondent as I am myself. ” “ You know nothing, then, of the object of his present visit to England?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ How do you know? ” his companion asked quickly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ How's that? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I HOBSON'S CHOICE 237 am to let no one know where I am, to write no letters, to receive none?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I did hear, but I never took any particular notice. ” “ Did you ever form any idea as to the nature of his work? ” Inspector Jacks asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I guess my room is all right, porter? ” — turning to the man who stood by his side, bag in hand.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I know it very well indeed. ” “ Dear Maiyo, ” the Ambassador asked, “ how well do you know it?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I mean the man whom you saw enter and leave the taxi? ” “ I think so — pretty sure!"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I read the New York Herald, but these London journals are a bit difficult, are n’t they?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I should think it very unlikely. ” “ You have no knowledge of any common pursuit or interest in life which the two men may have shared?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ I wonder, ” she remarked with apparent irrelevance, “ whether he dances. ” “ Shall I go and find out for you? ” Sir Charles asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ If he is, will you kindly ask him to step out and speak to me?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Is he known to us at all? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Is the man going to live? ” “ Not a doubt about it, ” she declared.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Is there any more news about that extraordinary murder? ”"Nothing fresh in the early editions, ” Sir Charles answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Is this true? ” Page 26 “ I guess your police over here are n't quite so smart as ours ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Is this true? ”"It appears to be perfectly true, madam, I regret to say, ” the clerk answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ It depends a good deal, does it not, ” he said,"upon ourselves?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ It does n't sound like our people, you know, does it? ”"I am quite surę, ” she declared confidently.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ It is Dr. Spencer Whiles? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ It is admirably put, ” he assented, “ and to continue? ” “ It is not my place to make suggestions to you, ” Pe- nelope said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ It is not, surely, well for them to be herded together like this? ” The Prince smiled.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ It's the Duchess, is n't it? ” “ The worst of having a distinctive voice, ” she sighed.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Just off the boat, eh?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Kind of queer, was n't it, ” Mr. Coulson remarked meditatively, “ how I seemed to get hung up with both of them?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Madam, ” he said, “ I understand that Mr. Hamilton Fynes was a friend of yours? ” “ An acquaintance,"she corrected him.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ May I leave Miss Penelope in your charge? ” he added with a little bow.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ May I take the liberty of feeling your pulse, Prince? ” The Prince extended his hand.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ May we stay? ” the former asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ My dear Bransome, ” he said, shaking hands, “ is n't this a little unreasonable of you?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ My dear Inspector, ” he said,"what is this that you have in your mind?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Never left the house? ” he repeated.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ No more luggage, sir? ” the guard asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Notwithstanding the fact,"Sir Edward reminded him quietly, “ that you were probably the last person to see Vanderpole alive?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Now, Mr. Jacks,"Sir Edward said, “ what can I do for you?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Now, how the devil do you know that? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Of the actual present? ” he asked softly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Of this very moment?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Only for a time, I suppose? ” Somerfield continued.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Ought I not to have taken them up? ” Almost as the words left her lips, she understood.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Penelope, what do you mean by it? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Penelope, you mean it?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Please tell me what it is that has hap- pened to Dicky? ” The Prince's face was grave.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Say, Mr. Jacks,"he exclaimed, “ what made you mention that young lady's name, anyway?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Say, are you still on this Hamilton Fynes business? ” Mr. Coulson asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Shall I ring up Mr. Haviland, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ She is natural, she has grace, and she has what I do not find so much in this country — would you say charm? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ She will marry, I suppose? ” he said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Should you know the man again? ” the Inspector asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Sir Charles, for instance?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ So you had n't anything to tell this young lady? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ So you really can not help us at all, madam? ” he said at length.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Supposing, ” he said, “ I decline to remain here?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Surely I made myself clear? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Tell me in what respect your tastes are so far apart? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Tell me in what way? ” she begged.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Tell me, Miss Pe- nelope, ” he added, “ may I ask your aunt or the Duchess to bring you one day to my house to see my treasures?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Tell me, ” the Duchess asked,"is it true that you are thinking of settling down amongst us?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Tell me, ” the latter asked, “ have you been shadowed at all? ” “ Not that I know of, ” Coulson answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Tell us what you mean? ” Penelope asked quickly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ The guvnor did n't let on who the note was from, I suppose? ” “ Not he, ” Liverpool answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ The guvnor took him off the mail specially. ” “ What's the fellow's name on board, anyhow? ” Crewe asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ The matter is urgent. ” “ Who are you? ” the captain asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ The only possible means being? ” Sir Edward asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ The train consists only of this carriage? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ There is no other passenger, for instance, travelling in the guard's brake? ” “ Certainly not, sir,"the station- master declared.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ There's no bad news, I hope? ” “ Nothing that concerns us particularly,"she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ To- morrow? ” he whispered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Was it meant to be worth anything?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ We've always been pretty good pals, have n't we? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Well, how has the remedy worked? ” the stranger inquired.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Well? ” he murmured.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Well? ” he said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Well? ” the Duke asked a little impatiently.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Well?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What about it?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What about this special? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What are these? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What brought her into your mind, any- way? ” “ Nothing particular, ” the Inspector answered care- lessly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What do you mean? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What do you say? ” the Inspector whispered hoarsely BANZAI!
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What is it that you really want? ”"I want to know this, ” the Ambassador said slowly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What of it? ” “ Nothing, except that it is a prejudice which you do not seem to share, ” he remarked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What on earth is the matter with you?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What on earth's got hold of you, Penelope? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What refreshments may I have the honor of serving? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What shall it be? ” the newcomer asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What was it? ” the young man asked eagerly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What were you doing in the road? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What's the matter? ” the man asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What's wrong with him?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What's yours, Mr. Jacks? ” “ Thank you very much, ” the Inspector said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ What, over here to Paris?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ When he was over here before, ” the inspector asked, “ do you know what his business was then? ” “ Not in the least,"she replied.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ When? ” SOME FAREWELLS 245 “ The exact day is not fixed, ” the Prince replied, “ but it is true that I am going home.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Where did you take your fare up? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Where does your master live? ” he asked the man.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Who can tell? ” The Prince sent away his carriage and walked home- ward, greeting every now and then an acquaintance.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Who is it?".
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Who was that? ” the doctor asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Who was this fellow, anyhow, and what were you doing lunching with him? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Who's this you're sending up to- night? ” the station- master asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Why have you told me about them?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Why not, my dear? ” the Duchess asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Why should I? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Why should he give you the letter when he was in London himself?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Why?".
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you allow me to precede you through the crush? ” he said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you allow me to take you back to your aunt? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you come and bring me back here afterwards, un- less you are engaged? ”.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you come in? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you find out if this gentleman is in?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you kindly let them know that? ” MISS PENELOPE MORSE The clerk shook his head.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you leave me? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Will you take me to my aunt? ” “ If it must be so,"he answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Would that hint which he dropped when he was here last help you to solve the mystery of his murder? ” “ It might, ” she admitted.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Yes? ” he murmured softly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You admire Miss Morse? ” the Duchess asked him.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are better, I trust, sir? ” Prince Maiyo said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are dancing again with the Prince? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are going away, Prince? ” the Inspector asked quickly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are going to ride this morning? ”"I suppose we all are, more or less,"she answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are n't thinking of doing anything in woollen machinery, are you? ” Sir Edward smiled.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are really going home? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are sure that you will not sit down? ” he per- sisted.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You are thinking of your friend of the other night? ” the Inspector remarked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You can tell us his address in the States? ” Inspector Jacks suggested.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You do n't suppose, ” he asked quietly, “ that it could have been the same man? ” The doctor was still looking across the room.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You do not connect the two affairs in any way?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You do not mind, ” he whispered, “ if I tell you that you must not stay here any longer? ” He led her toward the door.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You had no letter from him, then, previous to the mar- conigram?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You have n't committed yourself to asking any one, by the bye? ” “ Not a soul, ” his wife answered, “ except Sir Charles.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You have n't forgotten me, I hope?
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You know him? ” “ Know him! ” the General answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You know what is inside this? ” he asked, looking into his companion's face with some curiosity.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You mean that the time is really coming when we shall lose you? ” she asked suddenly.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You never heard, I suppose, of his having had a quarrel with any one? ” “ Never in my life, ” Mr. Coulson declared.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You read the particulars of the murder of Mr. Vander- pole, I suppose? ” the Inspector asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You saw him get in, did n't you? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You think that it will have a good effect upon your friends in Washington? ” “ Me? ” Mr. Coulson asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You think that it will have a good effect upon your friends in Washington? ” “ Me? ” Mr. Coulson asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You will spare me some dances? ” he pleaded.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You will try your best? ”"Oh, yes! ” she answered with a queer little laugh, “ I shall do that.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You wished to see me, sir? ” the official asked, merely glancing up from the desk at which he was sitting with a pile of papers before him.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You wo n't be coming back, then, miss? ” the man asked.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You'll let me know if anything turns up? ” the Home Secretary said.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You're not serious, are you? ” “ Perfectly, ” Inspector Jacks answered.
hvd.hwkyrz	“ You've nothing else upon you worth taking care of?"
hvd.hwkyrz	“ Your name is Mr. Hamilton Fynes, the Mr. Hamilton Fynes mentioned in this letter? ” “ That is so,"the passenger admitted.
hvd.hnp94i	I do n't suppose you thought of seeing me when you opened your door, Burchill? ” he remarked good- 82 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY pretending? hvd.hnp94i I do n't suppose you thought of seeing me when you opened your door, Burchill? ” he remarked good- 82 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY pretending?
hvd.hnp94i	I understand, Mountain, that you fetched Mr. Herapath from the House of Commons last night? ” began Barthorpe. hvd.hnp94i IN ecause Is t out, t3 man was a his feel t him, D?
hvd.hnp94i	Is there anything that occurs to you? ” he asked. hvd.hnp94i Just chuck the inspired prophet game for a while, will you?
hvd.hnp94i	That's one- what's the other? ” Barthorpe hesitated. hvd.hnp94i Then- your signature? ” 116 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ Look here! ” said Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	What charge? ” “ I should think you know as well as I do,replied Davidge quietly.
hvd.hnp94i	'"Yes, Mr. Burchill? ” she said quietly.
hvd.hnp94i	'You know St. Mary Abbot's Church, Kensington?'
hvd.hnp94i	-they'll certainly have to be put in evidence at Barthorpe Herapath's trial. ” “ What things? ” demanded the old lawyer, a little testily.
hvd.hnp94i	148 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ You hear, my dear? ” he said.

hvd.hnp94i	202 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ What do you say to next Friday morning, at ten o'clock?"
hvd.hnp94i	28 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ Yes? ” he said inquiringly and yet with a certain tone of command.
hvd.hnp94i	90 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ Circumstances! ” “ Have the circumstances anything to do with this secret? ” “ Everything!
hvd.hnp94i	A loan? ” “ If it's necessary to call it anything, ” replied Burchill suavely, “ you can call it a- well, say a dona- tion.
hvd.hnp94i	Again I say-what? ” Mr. Tertius stirred uneasily in his seat and shook his head.
hvd.hnp94i	Ah! ” “ What's the mystery? ” asked Carver, setting down his tankard.
hvd.hnp94i	All the same, if this chap is likely to annoy you, you've only to speak and-and- “ Yes? ” she said, smiling a little.
hvd.hnp94i	Alone, now?".
hvd.hnp94i	Am I not right, Tertius? ” “ I think you are right,"assented Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	And I mean to! ” “ Got any plan of campaign? ” asked Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	And his name's Burchill, eh?
hvd.hnp94i	And that burly gentle- man behind them, now — who's he? ” “ That's Professor Cox- Raythwaite, the famous scientist, ” answered Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	And the next?'
hvd.hnp94i	And then — you'll see! ” “ Well — what terms? ” demanded Barthorpe, a little suspiciously.
hvd.hnp94i	And this gentleman is, no doubt, Mr. Sel- wood, of whom I have heard?
hvd.hnp94i	And what might that gentleman's name be, now?"
hvd.hnp94i	And where are you going, now — if one may ask? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	And yet — why did n't Uncle Jacob divide it?
hvd.hnp94i	And — is it a sandwich?
hvd.hnp94i	And- where? ” Burchill evidently knew very well where he was going.
hvd.hnp94i	Are you certain?
hvd.hnp94i	Are you going to tell me if you signed that will I told you of? ” “ Certainly not before I've seen it,"answered Burchill promptly.
hvd.hnp94i	Are you sure of that?
hvd.hnp94i	As for the other two"“ I suppose there's no doubt of their guilt with respect to their conspiring to upset the will? ” said Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	As regards that part of the proceed- ings, ” said Mr. Tertius,"that is all. ” “ There was, then, another part? ” suggested Mr. Halfpenny.
hvd.hnp94i	B., eh? ” muttered Carver.

hvd.hnp94i	Besides, you'll be in a position to afford me something when you come into all that. ” “ The will? ” suggested Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	Burchill? — she had been thinking of him only a few minutes before the butler's entrance; thinking a good deal.
hvd.hnp94i	Burchill?"
hvd.hnp94i	But I do n't know- I suppose we shall feel it more when — when we realize it more, eh?
hvd.hnp94i	But I sup- pose the newspapers must be sensational. ” “ You do n't mean to say it's in the newspapers already? ” exclaimed Peggie.
hvd.hnp94i	But I've not been out since two o'clock this morning, so how could I hear?
hvd.hnp94i	But from what bit I see of him, sir, I should say he was a fresh- coloured gentleman. ” “ Tall and well built, you say?"
hvd.hnp94i	But if he had not made a mistake — what then?
hvd.hnp94i	But surely, Barthorpe, as nephew, and solicitor- eh?"
hvd.hnp94i	But we are really anxious to see Mr. Burchill- haven't you any idea where he's gone to live?
hvd.hnp94i	But- who's the guilty man?, Is it- can it be Burchill?
hvd.hnp94i	But- who's the guilty man?, Is it- can it be Burchill?
hvd.hnp94i	But-what?
hvd.hnp94i	By the by, Ter- tius, what sort of fellow is this Burchill? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	By the by, did Mr. Tertius say that it was my signature? ” “ What do you mean! ” exclaimed Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	By the by, have you Burchill's address? ” “ I have, ” replied Mr. Halfpenny.
hvd.hnp94i	By the by, who's the gentleman across there — just going up to the grave — the gentleman who looks like an actor?
hvd.hnp94i	Can I draw a cheque for that amount? ” “ Why not? ” replied the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	Can I draw a cheque for that amount? ” “ Why not? ” replied the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	Clearly there was something wrong, something deeply mysterious, something- At that point of his surmisings and questionings 64 IS THERE A WILL?
hvd.hnp94i	Come did you witness this will or not?
hvd.hnp94i	Come now — as all's being cleared up, is n't that so? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Come now, give it a name? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Could it be possible that there really was some mystery about that will of which only Bar- thorpe knew the secret?
hvd.hnp94i	Did he meet anybody? ” “ I saw no one, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	Did he say anything to you about going away early this morning? ” Mr. Tertius shook his head.
hvd.hnp94i	Did it did it?
hvd.hnp94i	Did you ever know him to use it? ” “ I've been to it myself,"answered Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	Did you notice his manner, his attitude — everything?
hvd.hnp94i	Do that at once- first thing to morrow morning. ” “ You do n't want to tell the police all this? ” asked Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	Do you know what I think?
hvd.hnp94i	Do you know? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Do you remember?"
hvd.hnp94i	Do you see that point? ” Mr. Tertius and Selwood muttered expressions of acquiescence, but Mr. Halfpenny shook his head.
hvd.hnp94i	Do you see? ” Mr. Playbourne laughed cynically.
hvd.hnp94i	Does it really mean that I get everything, and Barthorpe nothing? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Eh? ” Barthorpe jumped to his feet and thrust his hands in his pockets.
hvd.hnp94i	Eh? ” “ I remember very well, ” replied Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	Everybody says he was murdered who is doing anything to find the murderer? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Frightened of him because he took his answer, went away quietly, and has n't an- noyed you since?
hvd.hnp94i	Go into the room? ” “ No, sir!
hvd.hnp94i	Good Lord, why, who could help see it?"
hvd.hnp94i	Good gracious, man!-don't you see what a serious thing it is? ” “ How can I when I do n't know the contents of the will? ” asked Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	Good gracious, man!-don't you see what a serious thing it is? ” “ How can I when I do n't know the contents of the will? ” asked Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	Good, Tertius, good! ” “ You see it? ” said Mr. Tertius, delightedly.
hvd.hnp94i	Have n't you any notion — hasn't Barthorpe any notion? ” Mr. Tertius remained silent for a while.
hvd.hnp94i	Have you made any inquiry as to whether anybody heard Mr. Herapath moving about in the night, or leaving the house?
hvd.hnp94i	Have you said anything to Mr. Tertius? ”"Mr. Tertius is n't down yet, miss,"answered the butler.
hvd.hnp94i	Have you seen my signature as witness to a will made by Jacob Herapath? ” “ Yes, ” replied Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	Have you thought of the police — the detectives? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Have you, now, thought of telephon- ing to the estate office?
hvd.hnp94i	He isn't- dead? ” The inspector gave him a warning look.
hvd.hnp94i	He left our old friend? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	He may have omitted some slight thing, some infini- tesimal circumstance- “ Do you mean about himself or — what? ” asked Sel- wood.
hvd.hnp94i	Hear anything? ” “ Nothing,"replied Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	Heard anything? ” “ Piles! ” answered Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	Herapath ill? ” The butler shook his head and jerked his thumb towards the open door of the study.
hvd.hnp94i	How could Jacob Herapath be lying dead in his office at Kensington and nibbling at a sandwich in Portman Square at one and the same hour?
hvd.hnp94i	How did you come to think of it?
hvd.hnp94i	How do you do, sir, this even- ing?
hvd.hnp94i	How is it that somebody has n't been dis- covered?
hvd.hnp94i	How preserve this sandwich- just as it is? ” “ Nothing easier, ” replied the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	How will that do? ” “ That'll do,"answered Barthorpe after a mo- ment's consideration.
hvd.hnp94i	How's that?"
hvd.hnp94i	I did n't want much, you know. ” “ How much? ” asked Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	I do n't say so! ” “ What do you say it is, then?"
hvd.hnp94i	I have your permission to speak?
hvd.hnp94i	I saw him just putting the key in the latch as I drove off. ” “ And that's all you know?''.
hvd.hnp94i	I suppose all you want at present is to get a rough notion of how things were last night? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	I suppose we can get access to everything here at the house, and down at the office, too, ca n't we?
hvd.hnp94i	I then see it in the newspaper- English news, eh?"
hvd.hnp94i	I want to ask you what became of him afterwards?-you say you have full knowledge."
hvd.hnp94i	I was very much afraid when he came here the other day. ” “ You saw him? ” asked Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	I wonder if he left any address? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	I'm ashamed of myself — I must be braver- not so easily affected. ” “ But — the telegram? ” said Peggie.
hvd.hnp94i	IIas — has he annoyed you? ”"No,"answered Peggie.
hvd.hnp94i	IS IT MURDER?
hvd.hnp94i	IS THERE A WILL?
hvd.hnp94i	If Barthorpe Herapath intends to contest the legality of that will"“ Good heavens, is that possible? ” exclaimed Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	If you carry ten thousand in cash on you —"GREEK AGAINST GREEK 89 “ Is there a secret? ” asked Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	In the meantime"“ In the meantime, you're much more concerned and interested in the will, eh? ” said Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	In- spector, will you see to this arrangement we spoke of, and also tell the caretaker that we shall want him presently?
hvd.hnp94i	Is he an actor? ” “ That?
hvd.hnp94i	Is he an actor? ” “ That?
hvd.hnp94i	Is it certain he came in? ” “ Mountain saw him come in, ” she said.
hvd.hnp94i	Is it likely that his hand should have lost its cunning-even after several years?
hvd.hnp94i	Is it not probable that if he wanted to make a will be would have employed me, who had acted as his solicitor for fifteen years?
hvd.hnp94i	Is n't that good enough? ” “ Depend upon how I can bring it out, ” answered Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	Is n't that so, Hancock?"
hvd.hnp94i	It is this — will you meet your cousin at my office, with all the persons — witnesses to the will, I mean- and state your objections to the will?
hvd.hnp94i	It was certainly within a year of my coming. ” “ You remember his coming? ” “ Not particularly.
hvd.hnp94i	It's quite evident that we must postpone matters until this will is what do you call it?-presented, propounded- what is it?-for probate.
hvd.hnp94i	It's this did that conspiracy exist before November 12th?
hvd.hnp94i	Jacob Herapath's will, eh?
hvd.hnp94i	Just now there's the other thing to think about, is n't there? ” Peggie mopped her eyes and looked at him.
hvd.hnp94i	Leave this for the moment and come to see me-- now, when?
hvd.hnp94i	Let us go, my dear friend. ” “ Want me and these things? ” asked the Pro- fessor.
hvd.hnp94i	More than anything — now. ” “ Now — what? ” “ Now that Jacob Herapath is dead.
hvd.hnp94i	Mr. Halfpenny says it's duly and properly executed, witnessed, and so on- how can Barthorpe object to it? ” Mr. Tertius put down his cup and rose.
hvd.hnp94i	Mr. Selwood has, I am sure, had experience of that fact? ” “ To a certain extent- yes, ” agreed Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	Mr. Selwood — will you take Miss Wynne out to the car?
hvd.hnp94i	Mr. Selwood, will you come in, too? ” He stood at the door while those he had invited inside passed into the room where Peggie still sat.
hvd.hnp94i	Mr. Selwood, will you ring the bell? ” Burchill executed another profound and self- pos- sessed bow.
hvd.hnp94i	Mr. Selwood- are you engaged on any business? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Murder- eh?
hvd.hnp94i	Murder?
hvd.hnp94i	My dear, ” he continued, turning to Peggie, “ can you account for this?
hvd.hnp94i	Never seen it before, either of you?
hvd.hnp94i	Never took kindly to the motor, sir. ” “ Where did you meet him, Mountain?"
hvd.hnp94i	None? ” “ How can I have any doubt about what I actually saw? ” replied Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	None? ” “ How can I have any doubt about what I actually saw? ” replied Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	Now — when? ” “ Today is Tuesday,"said Mr. Halfpenny.
hvd.hnp94i	Now, did you ever hear my uncle speak of his will — whether he'd made one, and, if so, where he'd put it?
hvd.hnp94i	Now, did you see anybody about the entrance?
hvd.hnp94i	Now, in what way, Tertius? ” “ I do n't quite know,"replied Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	Now, what can we do?
hvd.hnp94i	Now, what did Barthorpe say about it? ” “ Nothing! ” answered Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	Now, what point suggests itself to you, Cox- Raythwaite? ” “ One in particular, ” answered the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	Now, which is the key?
hvd.hnp94i	Objects?-certainly!
hvd.hnp94i	Of course — the police are on the go? ” “ Oh, of course! ” “ All right, ” said Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	Of course! — who could help it?
hvd.hnp94i	Of course, they're his perhaps you recognize them? ” “ Yes,"answered Selwood, abruptly.
hvd.hnp94i	One matter I should have expected to find, we did n't find. ” “ What's that?"
hvd.hnp94i	Or- haven't you heard?
hvd.hnp94i	Perhaps Mr. Selwood knows of it, though, as he was his secretary. ” “ What peculiarity? ” asked the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	Pray, what is Barthorpe doing, what is anybody doing, about solving the mystery of my uncle's death?

hvd.hnp94i	See? ” “ So they do know something? ” muttered Triffitt sourly.
hvd.hnp94i	Shall I assist you by a suggestion?
hvd.hnp94i	Since my uncle's death he has made two attempts to see Burchill privately — why?
hvd.hnp94i	So he's gone in there, has he, Mr. Triffitt?
hvd.hnp94i	So this was written out by Mr. Jacob Herapath, and witnessed by — whom? ” asked Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	Some mystery, eh? ” Mr. Tertius drew a whiff or two of fragrant Havana before he replied.
hvd.hnp94i	Something to do with the will? ” “ A great deal to do with the will, I fear! ” replied Mr. Tertius, lugubriously.
hvd.hnp94i	So”—he went on, as he began to bustle about-"you did find- something?"
hvd.hnp94i	Specimens?
hvd.hnp94i	THE SECOND WARRANT 319 “ Not coming in? ”'asked Selwood, as he put a key in the latch.
hvd.hnp94i	Tell us — is it the worst?"
hvd.hnp94i	Ten thousand. ” “ The price of your silence, eh? ” suggested Bar- thorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	Tertius — what's the meaning of all this? ” Mr. Tertius groaned dolefully and shook his head.
hvd.hnp94i	Tertius, ” she said abruptly, “ why would n't Barthorpe let you come into that room down there at the office this morning? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Tertius? ” Burchill spoke the name with a good deal of subtle meaning, and Barthorpe suddenly looked at him with a rising comprehension.
hvd.hnp94i	That and the fact that Barthorpe and I were in league about the will?
hvd.hnp94i	That was all, sir. ” “ Did you actually see him enter the house? ” “ No, sir, ” replied Mountain, with a decisive shake of the head.
hvd.hnp94i	That's a point that must n't be overlooked. ” “ There's absolutely nothing else you can think of? ” asked Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	That's it, sir. ” “ And when he got out, which way did he go? ” asked Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	The entrance to the Herapath estate office was in IS IT MURDER?
hvd.hnp94i	The only question is for Peggie here does she wish to throw away nine thousand to save Barthorpe's neck?"
hvd.hnp94i	The only thing that mattered, my son, was the jury's verdict! ” “ And the jury's verdict was — what? ” demanded Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	The thing was what was to be done?
hvd.hnp94i	Then I found he'd had rooms of his own given him, and that he was there as a permanency. ” “ Settled down — just as he has been ever since?"
hvd.hnp94i	Then he go- leave us, eh? ” “ Oh, then, he's not here now, ” said Selwood, af- fecting disappointment.
hvd.hnp94i	There ought to be six keys here — the key of IS THERE A WILL?
hvd.hnp94i	Under- stand? ” The driver pocketed his sovereigns, and touched his forehead with a knowing look.
hvd.hnp94i	Valueless! ” “ You mean it? ” exclaimed Barthorpe incredu- lously.
hvd.hnp94i	Want to ask me anything about it? ” Barthorpe again drew the letter from the case.
hvd.hnp94i	Was he then to share his discoveries with officials?
hvd.hnp94i	Was it that man who sits by you — Burchill?
hvd.hnp94i	We just want to have a look around his little nest while he's off it, d'you see? ” “ How are you going to get in? ” asked Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	We just want to have a look around his little nest while he's off it, d'you see? ” “ How are you going to get in? ” asked Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	Well, Mr. Burchill, and what might this story be, now?
hvd.hnp94i	Well, and what am I to do, first? ” YOUNG BRAINS 139 “ Two things, ” responded Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	Well? ” he continued, going back to his chair and dropping heavily into it.
hvd.hnp94i	What I do n't under- stand about the present is — how can that will be up- set?
hvd.hnp94i	What about Burchill? ” “ Speak his name softly, ” answered Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	What about, friend Carver? ” “ If you could answer your own last question, we should know something, ” replied Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	What are you going to tell me?
hvd.hnp94i	What clue can there be in the fact that Barthorpe picked up a hundred pound bank- note from his uncle's writing- desk?
hvd.hnp94i	What did Jacob Herapath do with it between then and the time of the murder? ” “ Yes — that's a great point, ” asserted Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	What did you do?
hvd.hnp94i	What have I come for? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	What is a holograph? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	What is it? ” Burchill smiled deprecatingly.
hvd.hnp94i	What is there in it?
hvd.hnp94i	What more can one want? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	What on earth were these rev- elations which Barthorpe hinted at- these unpleasant truths which would so wound and hurt Peggie Wynne?
hvd.hnp94i	What secret?
hvd.hnp94i	What time did you get there? ” “ Exactly one o'clock, sir. ” “ You're certain about that time? ” “ Certain, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	What time did you get there? ” “ Exactly one o'clock, sir. ” “ You're certain about that time? ” “ Certain, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	What was he like, now, ma'am? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	What was it?
hvd.hnp94i	What were they finding?
hvd.hnp94i	What were those two doing in Burchill's rooms?
hvd.hnp94i	What would the result be?
hvd.hnp94i	What's up now, Triffitt?
hvd.hnp94i	What?
hvd.hnp94i	What? ” 292 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY Trixie, urged towards the cab, showed signs of un- easiness.
hvd.hnp94i	When — where? ” “ It's a longish story,"answered Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	When?
hvd.hnp94i	Where did he rejoin you? ” “ In the middle of the road, sir- right opposite that statue in the Square gardens."
hvd.hnp94i	Where? ” demanded Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	Who found out that Mr. Herapath was n't in the house this morning? ” “ Charlesworth, sir- Mr. Herapath's valet, ” replied the butler.
hvd.hnp94i	Who invented this cock- and- bull story?
hvd.hnp94i	Who- ever knew the police to find out anything, except by a lucky accident? ”"Just so, ” agreed Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	Why ca n't you tell me? ” “ You forget that I offered not to tell for- ten thousand pounds,"said Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	Why did he leave Barthorpe-- nothing?"
hvd.hnp94i	Why had he never said anything to her, why?
hvd.hnp94i	Why waste more time?
hvd.hnp94i	Why?
hvd.hnp94i	Why? ” demanded Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	Why? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	Will you just tell him your story? ” It appeared to Triffitt that Mr. Davidge was the least impressionable, most stolid man he had ever known.
hvd.hnp94i	Will you try a cigar? ” “ Very kind of you,"replied Davidge.
hvd.hnp94i	Yes? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	You are?
hvd.hnp94i	You ca n't think of anybody whose interest it was to get your esteemed relative out of the way? ” “ Nobody! ” said Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	You did n't notice anything else about your fare? ” he went on, after Peggie had left the room.
hvd.hnp94i	You did not know Mr. Herapath by sight, then? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	You do n't reply- readily?
hvd.hnp94i	You do n't?
hvd.hnp94i	You follow me?
hvd.hnp94i	You have no doubt about it? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	You heard the evidence about old Hera- path's keys?
hvd.hnp94i	You knew him well, then? ”"Better than I know you, ” replied Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	You know that is his will- what doubt can there be about it?'
hvd.hnp94i	You know what it is your uncle's will! ” “ What about my uncle's will — or alleged will? ” asked Barthorpe with a sneer.
hvd.hnp94i	You never know what you may come across during a search. ” “ You're going to search his rooms? ” asked Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	You see — what there is to see, Halfpenny?".
hvd.hnp94i	You see, the police have n't been in any hurry to approach you, have they?
hvd.hnp94i	You're curious to know why I'm com- ing?
hvd.hnp94i	You, too, my dear, painful as it may be, must also insist. ” “ On — what? ”'asked Peggie.

hvd.hnp94i	“ About what sized flat do you require? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Ah, yes, why not? ”"I'll tell you, ” continued Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ All I 18 IS IT MURDER?
hvd.hnp94i	“ And I ask you- how much? ” said Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And if he is, is he engaged? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And that's a serious offence, is n't it? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And that's — how long ago? ” “ Between fifteen and sixteen years,"answered Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And the other point?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ And this, ” continued Mr. Halfpenny, “ is Jacob Herapath's?—and this Mr. Burchill's?
hvd.hnp94i	“ And what's it all about, Tertius?
hvd.hnp94i	“ And who's the forger, pray? ” “ That man, there! ” said Barthorpe, suddenly pointing to Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And you came to me — why? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And you will go with Mr. Selwood? ” asked Peg- gie, with a touch of anxiety which was not lost on the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And you're equally certain about the diamond ring?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ And — you? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ And, as far as you know, is there no clue? ” asked the old lawyer.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Another safe at the Alpha, eh? ” he continued, musingly.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Any bit of good? ” “ There's the affair of the bank- note,"answered Sel- wood.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Any luck? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Anything that you can think of that would give a clue? ” suggested Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Are you certain of that?''
hvd.hnp94i	“ Are you sure it was my signature? ” asked Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Besides, it has nothing to do with me, eh?
hvd.hnp94i	“ But I'm sure you do Myself, eh?
hvd.hnp94i	“ But are n't there any little facts, Barthorpe? ” asked Peggie.
hvd.hnp94i	“ But there's one thought that strikes me just now- do you remember what Burchill's old land lady at Upper Seymour Street told us? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ But what does that mean, Mr. Tertius?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Ca n't you give us a mere outline? ”"I was going to,"answered Davidge.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Cash down on the spot, guv'nor? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Come, now? ” “ I quite apprehend your meaning, ” replied Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Con- found it, man, what do you beat about the bush so much for?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Could that tall, dark, nicely- dressed gentleman have been Burchill? ” he muttered.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Did Jacob ever tell you who he was? ” “ Never!
hvd.hnp94i	“ Did he leave no address to which his letters were to be sent? ” asked Barthorpe, affecting surprise.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Did he say anything particular then? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Did it stand good- did he get the woman's money? ” “ He did.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Did n't you notice that the man avoided any direct reply?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Did you see the late Jacob Herapath write- that? ” “ I did not!"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Dimambro? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Do n't keep things back! — do n't you see I want to know? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Do you accept this will, and are you going to act on your cousin's behalf?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Do you mean to say that you attach any importance to an entry like that?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Do you recognize any of these? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Do you see anything with any further pos- sible mystery attached to it? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Do you wish me to go away? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Does any- thing suggest itself? ” “ Why, this,"answered Barthorpe, rubbing his chin.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Does she know? ” “ She may have heard from her maid, sir,"replied JACOB HERAPATH IS MISSING 15 rather an hour later than usual.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Drop of whisky and soda, gentlemen? ” he said, hospitably.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Frightened of- Burchill?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Frightened? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Got such a thing as a muffin? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Got — who?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Had n't you better sit down again? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Had your cousin- Miss Wynne- come there then? ” “ Yes, she'd just about come.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Halfpenny and Farthing, of course, odd combination, is n't it?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Have we done any good? ” asked Peggie, draw- ing a deep breath of free air as soon as they were outside the gates.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Have you got a Mr. Luigi Dimambro staying at your hotel?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Have you got the real culprit?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Have you told Miss Wynne? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Have you? ” “ None!
hvd.hnp94i	“ He is dead? ” she asked in a low voice.
hvd.hnp94i	“ He say it for memfor both of us, eh? ” “ To be sure, sir, to be sure, ” said Davidge.
hvd.hnp94i	“ He tell you better, see? ” “ I am taking everything in order, ” said Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ He was n't wearing gloves, then? ” “ He had n't a glove on that hand, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Here? ” “ No, miss,"answered Kitteridge.
hvd.hnp94i	“ How can I say until I see it? ” asked Burchill, with seeming innocence.
hvd.hnp94i	“ How did the paper people come to know all this? ” asked Peggie, glancing rapidly over Triffitt's leaded lines.
hvd.hnp94i	“ How do you do, sir?
hvd.hnp94i	“ How do you do?
hvd.hnp94i	“ How does it strike you? ” Mr. Halfpenny slowly opened his pursed- up lips.
hvd.hnp94i	“ How go for the police? ” asked Carver doubtfully.
hvd.hnp94i	“ How was it X. did n't see you? ” “ Because I was on the opposite side of the street, in deep shadow, ” replied Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I do n't know whether we sha n't be glad of Mr. Halfpenny's professional services? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I do not hear of the murder, eh, until I am in Berlin- it is, yes, next day- day after I leave London — that I hear of it, you under- stand?
hvd.hnp94i	“ I fixed that, in anticipation. ” “ And — where? ” demanded Triffitt.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I mean- do you recognize it as having belonged to- him?
hvd.hnp94i	“ I suppose he's still here? ” But there Selwood, just as involuntarily, asserted an uncontrollable instinct.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I suppose no one was up at that time? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I suppose this really is of a private nature? ” he asked suspiciously.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I suppose you'll see to all the arrangements we spoke of? ” “ They're being carried out already,"answered the inspector.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I suppose you've no idea who murdered your uncle? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ I'll watch him — or, I'll watch that he- that- well, that no harm comes to — you know what I mean, do n't you? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ If I do n't look after myself, who's a- going to look after me- I asks you that, now? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ If anything ever happens suddenly'- had he then felt some fear, experienced any premoni- tion, of a sudden happening?
hvd.hnp94i	“ In strict confidence, ” he said, “ have you got any idea whatever on the subject? ” 109 110 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ None!"
hvd.hnp94i	“ In the dock? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94i	“ In the study?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Is it really necessary to see Mr. Burchill person- ally? ” she asked with a palpable nervousness which struck Selwood strangely.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Is it, indeed, ma'am? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Is that fair- is it generous?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Is that your signature on that will or not?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Is the Professor in, Mary? ” asked Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	“ It's about a dead certainty that Herapath was in his own house at Portman Square at one o'clock, is n't it?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Likely to bite? ”"Er- no!"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Look like residents, coming in or going out, puffing their cigars and their cigarettes, eh?
hvd.hnp94i	“ May I suggest that if you wish to talk to Miss Wynne, we should go to her house?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Midnight?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Miss Wynne? ” she said inquiringly.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Murdered? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Must he be found? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ My cousin is here, then? ” exclaimed Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	“ No area entrance or side- door?".
hvd.hnp94i	“ No one else is necessary. ” “ And you wish me to tell, plainly, why I refuse to believe that the will is genuine? ”'asked Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Nothing?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Now, how long do you think Mr. Herapath had been dead when you were called to the body? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Now, inspector,"he said, “ will you and your officer come in?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Now, then? ” he growled.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Now,"he said, “ this Mr. Frank Burchill — the other witness?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Now- have you the least idea who Tertius is? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Of course we must do that at once! ” she ex- CHAPTER II IS IT MURDER?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Of course! ” “ You intend to contest the matter? ” inquired Mr. Halfpenny.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Of course, it was a shabby thing to do, sort of robbing the dead, you know, but-"“ Do you see any way in which that can help?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Of what? ” “ Of something that I ca n't account for or realize, ” she replied.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Oh? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ On this table! ” “ Well — how would a couple o'fivers be, now? ” asked the anxious one.
hvd.hnp94i	“ On what evidence? ” asked Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	“ On- what?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Or, if that's too pointed a question at present, suppose we go back to-my letter?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Pretty things, ai n't they? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Queer story, is n't it, Halfpenny? ” he said lacon- ically.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Queer? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Recently, then?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Seems a great deal, does n't it?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Shall I omit them? ” IS IT MURDER?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Shall I omit them? ” IS IT MURDER?
hvd.hnp94i	“ So you know him — by sight, anyhow?
hvd.hnp94i	“ So- that's the secret you mentioned in that letter? ” “ Never mind, ” replied Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Sober earnest, now? ” “ I have no objection to answering that question, ” replied Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Some bad news?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Something alive? ” he asked laconically.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Sudden?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Suicide? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Tertius? ” he answered.
hvd.hnp94i	“ That Barthorpe Herapath had been to inquire for Burchill?-yes,"replied Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	“ That chap?
hvd.hnp94i	“ That is not your signature? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hnp94i	“ That it? ”"Practically — yes,"assented Mr. Halfpenny.
hvd.hnp94i	“ The Witnesses? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ The master, sir? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94i	“ The only question, Professor, ” said Peggie, re- provingly, “ iscan I do it?
hvd.hnp94i	“ The other gent told you what it is I can tell, guvʼnor?''
hvd.hnp94i	“ The proprietor, I presume? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ The thing is, ” he said, “ the only thing is — how long are you and I going to beat about the bush?
hvd.hnp94i	“ The wound may have been self- inflicted? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ There is! ” “ And you want ten thousand pounds for it? ” sug- gested Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	“ There is? ” “ There is!
hvd.hnp94i	“ There?
hvd.hnp94i	“ To hear those revelations you spoke of when you called on me this afternoon?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Usual place, sirin Palace Yard — just outside the Hall. ” “ What time was that? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Was n't that satisfactory?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Was the front door fastened as usual when you went to it at that time? ” “ It was fastened as it always is, sir, by the latch.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well — what next?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well, Triffitt, what do you make of it?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well, when can I see this chap? ” “ Tonight- seven o'clock, ” replied Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well- has it ever struck you that there was a secret between Tertius and Jacob Herapath? ”---- FOR TEN PER CENT 115 Barthorpe started.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well? ” said Mr. Halfpenny.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well? ” said Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Well?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ What do you think of this, Cox- Raythwaite? ” he asked, almost piteously.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What do you think? ” she asked, with a slight show of anxiety.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What do you want me to do?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ What do you wish to ask me?''
hvd.hnp94i	“ What happened then? ”.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What has gone on up there? ” asked Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What have I come for, ma'am? ” he repeated.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What have you got there?
hvd.hnp94i	“ What is it, Kitteridge? ” demanded Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What is it? ” “ Oh, I've a lot to say, ” replied Burchill.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What is known of this in Portman Square, Mr. Selwood? ” he inquired.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What is the secret? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What other thing? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What price? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What time was that?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ What's it all about — what does it mean?
hvd.hnp94i	“ What's that? ” asked Mr. Tertius.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What's this mean? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What's your own? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ What,"asked Barthorpe at last,“what was it that you wanted my uncle to oblige you with?
hvd.hnp94i	“ What? ” asked Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	“ When did you find out this secret? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Where is Mr. Burchill? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Where?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Where? ” Triffitt sank his voice to a still lower whisper.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Where? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Which, on being inspected, ” continued Barthorpe, “ proved to be a holograph- “ Pardon,"interrupted Burchill, “ A holograph?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Who would n't?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Whom do you propose to have present? ” asked Barthorpe.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Why did n't Mr. Tertius come into the room just now? ” she demanded.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Why did you not come back at once? ”'asked Cox- Raythwaite.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Why not answer mine? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Why should he want to see Burchill?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ Why so strange? ”'asked Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Why?
hvd.hnp94i	“ Will they let me? ”"Oh, that's all right, ” answered the Professor.
hvd.hnp94i	“ Will you tell me then? ” “ That entirely depends."
hvd.hnp94i	“ Yet — it may not have been? ” suggested Mr. Ter- tius, mildly.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You are sure?
hvd.hnp94i	“ You did n't notice anything unusual about him?'
hvd.hnp94i	“ You do n't know of any reason for this, do you? ” “ None, ” replied Selwood.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You drove him up to this door, I suppose? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You fetched him in the brougham, I believe? ” “ Yes, sir,"answered the coachman.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You have n't heard anything from New Scotland Yard? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You heard no sound after you got to bed? ” “ Nothing, sir- neither of us."
hvd.hnp94i	“ You heard — what? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You mean — designing? ” suggested Mr. Half- penny.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You never saw any one enter the archway during the time Mr. Herapath was in the office? ” “ No, sir."
hvd.hnp94i	“ You put it very cleverly. ” “ Then why do n't you answer my question?"
hvd.hnp94i	“ You remember the inspector said he found no keys in my uncle's pockets?
hvd.hnp94i	“ You see that tray, Mr. Sel- wood?
hvd.hnp94i	“ You think it is a case of murder? ” “ I'm sure it's a case of murder- cold, calculated murder,"replied Mr. Tertius, with energy.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You will stay here? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You wo n't follow us? ” 24 THE HERAPATH PROPERTY “ I shall stay here, ” she answered.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You'll go? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You're sure that he entered the house? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You're sure this is the man? ” asked Carver.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You've been on this job from the beginning, then-in connection with him? ” exclaimed Triffitt, nod- ding towards the door.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You've no fear of interruption? ” asked Triffitt, who would vastly have preferred action to inaction.
hvd.hnp94i	“ You- you are n't going down there? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94i	“'Signed by the testator in the presence of us IS THERE A WILL?
hvd.hwj9e9	Flower of the May, Saw ye one pass? hvd.hwj9e9 I'll beg ye to observe,'said Mr. Sanderson, that the question is not"why should n't he?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Oh, yes, ” he continued after a moment, looking up,oh, yes, I know you — Ezekiel Trenoweth, of course; or is it Amos, or Jasper?
hvd.hwj9e9	Well,'I asked, after a pause;what do you think of it?'
hvd.hwj9e9	'Tis a hard thought that I should outlive him; but, curse him, I've done it, and here's his cap for proof- why, what the devil is the lad staring at?"
hvd.hwj9e9	** What was that?
hvd.hwj9e9	- What, Joe? ” “ Why, to see the doctor tackle the lingo.
hvd.hwj9e9	183 how should I find the money?
hvd.hwj9e9	199 it would never cease; round and round, then slackened, slackened, hesitated and stopped — where?
hvd.hwj9e9	217 “ Please, forgive me; I was stupid, and am so sorry. ” Forgive her?
hvd.hwj9e9	233 oh, can you not see of what that day was the beginning?
hvd.hwj9e9	245 I always thought a woman should have brown eyes; we wo n't quarrel about inches, but you will give way in the matter of eyes, will you not?"
hvd.hwj9e9	33 Ezekiel Trenoweth?
hvd.hwj9e9	Am I still no more than the beggar who rescued your boat that day? ” “ Of course, you are my friend- now.
hvd.hwj9e9	Am I still nothing to you? ” She put up her hand as if to ward off further speech, but spoke no word herself.
hvd.hwj9e9	And at this hour? ” “ Yes, to- night.
hvd.hwj9e9	And he had a wife aboard, and a child born at sea, had n't he?
hvd.hwj9e9	And her so pretty too! ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hwj9e9	And how could I leave my mother alone?
hvd.hwj9e9	And how could she ever under- stand?
hvd.hwj9e9	And is she better? ” “ Aw iss, he've a seen her an ’ she be quieter: least- ways, he be bound to do her a power o good.
hvd.hwj9e9	And might this here place be Lantrig? ” “ Our house is on the cliff above the next cove, ” I replied.
hvd.hwj9e9	And what of the Mary Jane?
hvd.hwj9e9	And what were we, that night, as we stood upon the sands with that last hellish glitter still dancing in our eyes?
hvd.hwj9e9	And where was I lying?
hvd.hwj9e9	Are you better now?
hvd.hwj9e9	Are you faint? ” For my love had turned deathly pale, and seemed as though she would faint indeed.
hvd.hwj9e9	Are you not changed at all?
hvd.hwj9e9	Are you of the same mind now?
hvd.hwj9e9	As I did so the musical voice beside me murmured — “ The game is waiting: are you going to stake this time? ” I stammered out a negative.
hvd.hwj9e9	Blood?
hvd.hwj9e9	But as the curtain fell she said quietly- “ So you know Clarissa Lambert?"
hvd.hwj9e9	But could they be alone?
hvd.hwj9e9	But see, have you nothing — nothing?
hvd.hwj9e9	But what ailed her?
hvd.hwj9e9	But what bad with him?'
hvd.hwj9e9	But what be goin'back for?
hvd.hwj9e9	But what did it matter now?
hvd.hwj9e9	But what was that at its base?
hvd.hwj9e9	But what was that speck of white far down the bank — that brighter spot upon the universal brightness, moving, advancing?
hvd.hwj9e9	But when did hot youth behave with thought in a like case?
hvd.hwj9e9	But where?
hvd.hwj9e9	But why that extraordinary sum? ” “ Because that is the sum which has been hanging all day around me as a mill- stone.
hvd.hwj9e9	But why ” “ Should you know the place again?
hvd.hwj9e9	But you always were a true friend, always the one to depend upon, eh, John?
hvd.hwj9e9	But, Jasper, warn't it beauti- ful?"
hvd.hwj9e9	By the way, John, was n't there another with us?
hvd.hwj9e9	By the way, have you caught sight of Claire yet? ”.
hvd.hwj9e9	By the way, may I look at it for a moment? ” We were alone in the room, we three.
hvd.hwj9e9	Can I hope to succeed when so many with prayers so much more holy have failed?
hvd.hwj9e9	Can a man help worshipping her?
hvd.hwj9e9	Can you ever forgive? ” “ Forgive!
hvd.hwj9e9	Can you for- give?
hvd.hwj9e9	Can you move? ” I feebly put my hand up and felt a handkerchief bound round my head.
hvd.hwj9e9	Can you not care for me? ” I took the little hand.
hvd.hwj9e9	Can you not see whither these last four months have carried me? ” The sun struck slanting on the water and ran in tapering lustre to our feet.
hvd.hwj9e9	Can you read it?
hvd.hwj9e9	Claire, my love, are you sure?
hvd.hwj9e9	Come, Jasper, what do you think? ” “ I think, ” I replied, “ we had better look at the tin- box. ” “ Bless my soul!
hvd.hwj9e9	Confess now, what are Claire's beside them?
hvd.hwj9e9	Could I count upon determination enough to withhold my arms and let myself slowly drown?
hvd.hwj9e9	Could you find it? ” “ Easily. ” “ Then let us go and try our luck with this miser- able sum. ” “ Do n't be a fool, Jasper.
hvd.hwj9e9	Dead Man's Rock, eh?
hvd.hwj9e9	Dead Man's Rock?
hvd.hwj9e9	Did ever heart beat so tumultuously as mine, as I pushed the boat from under the boughs and began to row?
hvd.hwj9e9	Did ever little palm rest in more eager hand than hers in mine during that one heavenly moment?
hvd.hwj9e9	Did he jump too, John? ” John found speech at last.
hvd.hwj9e9	Did he tell you how I caught him upon Adam's Peak, sitting with this clasp in his hands before a hideous, graven stone?
hvd.hwj9e9	Did you mark what was engraved upon the blade?
hvd.hwj9e9	Did you sail in the same ship?
hvd.hwj9e9	Did you see, Jasper?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do I not look a witch? ” Indeed she did, as she sat there.
hvd.hwj9e9	Do n't you like it? ” “ It- begins well. ” Here followed another diversion.
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you agree? ”.
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you know him?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you know this Clarissa Lambert?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you know why I sent for you?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you mean to say I have never told you? ” “ Never, ” said Claire, meditatively.
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you think I am not suffering — that it is nothing to me to lose you?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you think I care for your knife now?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you think I might have any chance, the least chance?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you think she meant to encourage me?
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you wish me to buy it? ” “ Not exactly that, ” I explained; “ but if you think 204 DEAD MAN'S ROCK.
hvd.hwj9e9	Do you wonder why an old woman should wish to look upon a comely youth?
hvd.hwj9e9	Does the bandage pain you?
hvd.hwj9e9	Eh, Jasper? ” « « Well, here I am set,'"quoted I, content to humour him.
hvd.hwj9e9	Evidently the person that wrote them had been upon the Peak, and what, if they were lies, was to be gained by the cheat?
hvd.hwj9e9	Fate( do you believe in fate, Mr. Tre- noweth?)
hvd.hwj9e9	Father dead? ” “ No, my lad, t'other chap: him as this cap be- longed to.
hvd.hwj9e9	Fell sick in the Bay o'Biscay, like any land- lubber, did n't he?
hvd.hwj9e9	Fifty pounds it is, in notes — take it all. ” “ But you? ” I hesitated.
hvd.hwj9e9	Finally he gave a low laugh and nodding lightly, said “ Odd thing our meeting like this, eh?
hvd.hwj9e9	For me, Claire, what have I to pardon?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Had I heard aright?
hvd.hwj9e9	Had I known, as I bent over them, to what the oath in my heart would bring me, would I even then have renounced it?
hvd.hwj9e9	Had I offended?
hvd.hwj9e9	Half an hour: should I yet be in time?
hvd.hwj9e9	Has Uncle Loveday seen mother?
hvd.hwj9e9	Has he done you a favour?'
hvd.hwj9e9	Has its invisible horror left me now at last?
hvd.hwj9e9	Has your friend no money? ” “ No, this was all we had between us."
hvd.hwj9e9	Have you ever played before?
hvd.hwj9e9	Have you no boat?
hvd.hwj9e9	Have you not the other part? ” I shook my head, and she continued “ It is beautifully worked, and seems valuable.
hvd.hwj9e9	Have you seen her?"
hvd.hwj9e9	He is so clever! ” “ What is the name of this genius — I mean the other name? ” “ Why, Loveday, of course — Thomas Loveday.
hvd.hwj9e9	He listened in silence, and then said, after a pause- “ You have not, then, undertaken this lightly?'
hvd.hwj9e9	He was a fair man, I am dark. ” “ But your grandfather — was he not dark? ” “ I believe so,"I answered, “ but really —".
hvd.hwj9e9	He was lying sick below when she struck, was n't he?
hvd.hwj9e9	He's look- ing after the Cap- I mean the sailor, and said he would run in afterwards. ” “ What is this sailor like? ”!
hvd.hwj9e9	Holding the pieces together with the fore- finger and thumb of his right hand, he advanced and thrust it right under my sight- “ Do you see that?
hvd.hwj9e9	How I laughed in my sleeve while that uncle of yours was trying to make me understand- me- what was my name then?-oh, ay, Georgio Rhodojani.
hvd.hwj9e9	How came we so?
hvd.hwj9e9	How could I answer him?
hvd.hwj9e9	How could I tell her now?
hvd.hwj9e9	How could I tell him?
hvd.hwj9e9	How could you have told?
hvd.hwj9e9	How does the text run?
hvd.hwj9e9	How should I have the heart to tell him?
hvd.hwj9e9	How should I hide it?
hvd.hwj9e9	How was it possible to guess?"
hvd.hwj9e9	How were we to know?
hvd.hwj9e9	How wither the chaplet that already seemed to bind his brow?
hvd.hwj9e9	However, the poor fellow's gone;'fell off,'you say?
hvd.hwj9e9	I did not know it then; but when does childhood know or understand the suffering of later life?
hvd.hwj9e9	I had learnt her name to be Luttrell — Claire Luttrell; how often did I not say the words over to my- self?
hvd.hwj9e9	I have often thought — do you remember that day- reading your father's paper — and the key?"
hvd.hwj9e9	I have seen- ” “ What have you seen?
hvd.hwj9e9	I hope I have thanked you as far as I can, and"“ And what?"
hvd.hwj9e9	I must get out of this for a while. ” “ Where are you going? ” “ Oh, anywhere.
hvd.hwj9e9	I remembered the sound which I had heard, and almost in spite of myself asked, “ You heard about —"“ Claire?
hvd.hwj9e9	I suppose I must have signified my denial, for he went on-"You heard what he called me?
hvd.hwj9e9	I suppose she is much the same as other actresses, is she not?"
hvd.hwj9e9	I suppose- eh?-you have some credentials- some proof that you really are called Trenoweth?
hvd.hwj9e9	I suppose- eh?-you have some credentials- some proof that you really are called Trenoweth?
hvd.hwj9e9	I will forgive you if you weep during the next act; only on that condition. ” How shall I describe the last act?
hvd.hwj9e9	I'm on my way up, are you?
hvd.hwj9e9	In a boat?
hvd.hwj9e9	Is he really alive? ” “ Why, no, Jasper.
hvd.hwj9e9	Is it a lucky one? ” “ Never, until now, ” said I.
hvd.hwj9e9	Is it changed?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Is it on you to- night? ” I wore it, as a matter of fact, in my waistcoat pocket, attached to one end of my chain; but I hesi- tated for a moment.
hvd.hwj9e9	Is it so extraordinary?
hvd.hwj9e9	Is not that your boat lying there under the bank?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Jasper, my boy, can you walk now?
hvd.hwj9e9	Jasper, so am I. ” “ You? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hwj9e9	Jasper, what ails you? ” Incoherently I told my story, at first to Aunt Elizabeth alone, but presently, in answer to her call, I ASTONISH MY AUNT.
hvd.hwj9e9	John Railton's skull, no eyes in it though, “ For his glittering eyes are the salt sea's — “ Where is the skull?
hvd.hwj9e9	Look; is he tall and dark?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Love, love, was that fair?
hvd.hwj9e9	Lucy loved you when she would n't look at me, would she?
hvd.hwj9e9	Might I not just as well fling this accursed clasp after the rest?
hvd.hwj9e9	Mr. Eversleigh, indeed, assures me that my life has more than once been despaired of — and then what would have become of poor Margery?
hvd.hwj9e9	Music?
hvd.hwj9e9	Music?
hvd.hwj9e9	Need it be confessed that Saturday saw me also in my boat, expectant?
hvd.hwj9e9	No?
hvd.hwj9e9	Now each seemed to cry,"What have you done with your friend? ” This was my home- coming.
hvd.hwj9e9	Now, the question is, What was it?
hvd.hwj9e9	Now, what do you make of it?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Oh, Claire, Claire,'forgive'?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Oh, if I were only a man — but can you stand?
hvd.hwj9e9	Once between the acts I heard two voices in the passage outside my box- “ What do you think of it?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Once more we sat together by the widowed hearth, G?
hvd.hwj9e9	One half of the golden clasp being lost, the next question is, what has become of it? ” I nodded.
hvd.hwj9e9	Only as a light or two gleamed out, and Streatley twinkled in the distance, Claire said — “ Can it be true?
hvd.hwj9e9	Or had he, after all, no suspicions?
hvd.hwj9e9	Or why was it that the figure drooped closer, and the bird's note sprang up jubilant?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Out on the face of this rock, you say — what's the name?
hvd.hwj9e9	Presently he continued- “ Whittington is an overrated character, do n't you think?
hvd.hwj9e9	Presently it broke out again- “ Bird of the thorn, What his attire?
hvd.hwj9e9	Shall I never see the shores of England again?
hvd.hwj9e9	Shall I see you again?
hvd.hwj9e9	Shall We Know One Another?
hvd.hwj9e9	Shall it be all at once?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Shall we say, startling? ” In answer to my uncle's apologetic hesitation the stranger merely spread out his palms and shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwj9e9	She bent over it for a moment, then turned to me and asked “ Is this all of it?
hvd.hwj9e9	She must have mistaken my glance, for she went on:-“Is it that you wish?"
hvd.hwj9e9	She never opened her eyes, and as for me, what comfortable words could I speak?
hvd.hwj9e9	Should I go, or not?
hvd.hwj9e9	Should I speak and seek counsel?
hvd.hwj9e9	Should we be in time?
hvd.hwj9e9	Skeletons, eh?
hvd.hwj9e9	Sleep is ever so much nicer than being awake, is n't it? ” I wanted sleep, having had but little for two nights, and could therefore agree with him.
hvd.hwj9e9	So, for all power I had of speech, might we have stood until to- day had not the voice repeated- “ How can I thank you? ” I looked up.
hvd.hwj9e9	Something in the voices?
hvd.hwj9e9	Speak, ca n't you? ” ANOTHER.
hvd.hwj9e9	Still gazing out on the sea, he said-- “ Sailed in the Belle Fortune, barque of 600 tons, or thereabouts, bound for Port of Bristol?
hvd.hwj9e9	Strong as death, and can it be overcome so easily? ” She was trembling terribly, and from the little hand within mine I could feel her agitation.
hvd.hwj9e9	Surely, surely Heaven can not fix the seal of this crime upon us for ever?
hvd.hwj9e9	Swine did I say?
hvd.hwj9e9	Tell me, was he at all like you?"
hvd.hwj9e9	That I found my love peerless among women?
hvd.hwj9e9	The next question was, how many were the mutineers?
hvd.hwj9e9	The situation is striking, Jasper, you'll allow. ” “ What did the manager say about it? ” I asked.
hvd.hwj9e9	Then somehow over my weary mind stole the knowledge that this was Mrs. Luttrell — or was 332 DEAD MAN'S ROCK, it Claire?
hvd.hwj9e9	There was a pause and then I added — “ You see, you took me by surprise. ” “ Where were you when I first called?"
hvd.hwj9e9	To what had it all come?
hvd.hwj9e9	Trenoweth, it grieves me to taunt your miser- able case; but do you mind my saying that you are a fool? ” I simply stared in answer.
hvd.hwj9e9	Unbeliever, did ever man see such eyes?
hvd.hwj9e9	Uncle Loveday stole into the room on tip- toe, and looked at her; then turned and asked “ Has she spoken yet? ”"No."
hvd.hwj9e9	Understand?
hvd.hwj9e9	Up the river, perhaps. ” “ You do n't wish me to go with you? ”"No, I had rather be alone.
hvd.hwj9e9	Was ever mockery more fiendish?
hvd.hwj9e9	Was ever moment so sweet?
hvd.hwj9e9	Was ever the likes of it heard?
hvd.hwj9e9	Was it for my deceit?
hvd.hwj9e9	Was it that I heard a low mocking laugh within the box as I stepped out into the passage?
hvd.hwj9e9	We three, you know, may possibly never meet again, and I am sure our young friend — what name did you say?
hvd.hwj9e9	Well, it's a rum world, and a fine lot of lies gets told every day, but you do n't often get so accomplished a liar as that chap — what's his name?
hvd.hwj9e9	Well?'
hvd.hwj9e9	Were you not surprised when you saw my name as Clarissa Lambert? ”.
hvd.hwj9e9	Wert thou here to see, I would not have thee weep, but look- one stroke, And thus-2"What was that shriek far back there in the house?
hvd.hwj9e9	What I want to know is, why the devil he returned at all?
hvd.hwj9e9	What became of him?
hvd.hwj9e9	What day is it?
hvd.hwj9e9	What do I want with money if only you kill him? ” I bent and kissed her hand.
hvd.hwj9e9	What do you mean?
hvd.hwj9e9	What do you think of her? ” It was Tom's voice beside me.
hvd.hwj9e9	What do you think? ” Uncle Loveday cleared his throat and looked at me again with professional pride in his diagnosis.
hvd.hwj9e9	What does it matter if your real name be Lambert?
hvd.hwj9e9	What does it matter that our fathers fought and killed each other, if only we love?
hvd.hwj9e9	What had I to do with such?
hvd.hwj9e9	What have you done since you have been in London?".
hvd.hwj9e9	What if I had already said too much?
hvd.hwj9e9	What is it?
hvd.hwj9e9	What is the matter? ” Again a few meaningless syllables and that awful laugh.
hvd.hwj9e9	What is there to forgive?"
hvd.hwj9e9	What mad notion has taken you now? ”.
hvd.hwj9e9	What more should I know, or wish to know?"
hvd.hwj9e9	What nonsense has got into your head now? ” “ Because, mother, I met him to- day.
hvd.hwj9e9	What shall I do? ” I jumped to my feet, caught a glimpse of something white, and of two startled but appealing eyes, then tore down to the bank.
hvd.hwj9e9	What was it that made Sebastian as he entered rush suddenly forward and fall with awful cry before Francesca's body?

hvd.hwj9e9	What's the matter with the boy?
hvd.hwj9e9	What's this?
hvd.hwj9e9	What?
hvd.hwj9e9	What? ” He had started forward, and was staring at me with a wild surprise.
hvd.hwj9e9	When you began I was —"“ What?"

hvd.hwj9e9	Where? ” He made a motion forwards to look over the edge, but checked himself, and crouched down close against the rock.
hvd.hwj9e9	Where?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Which will it be, eh?
hvd.hwj9e9	Which will it be?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Who was I, and how came I to be staring upward so?
hvd.hwj9e9	Who?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Whose?
hvd.hwj9e9	Why are you so strange? ” I tried to look astonished, but broke down miserably.
hvd.hwj9e9	Why can you not curse me?
hvd.hwj9e9	Why go further?
hvd.hwj9e9	Why not?
hvd.hwj9e9	Why should I live?
hvd.hwj9e9	Why should anything have happened to him? ” He was still watching the waves as they danced and twinkled in the sun.

hvd.hwj9e9	Why, you've got Lucy, John: what more can you want?
hvd.hwj9e9	Why?
hvd.hwj9e9	Ye've a trustful way with ye that takes my liking; but it would surprise me very much, sir, did ye ever lay hands on that Ruby.?"
hvd.hwj9e9	Yes?
hvd.hwj9e9	Yet why do I go on?
hvd.hwj9e9	You admire her acting? ” “ I never saw it until to- night."

hvd.hwj9e9	You did n't happen to see a tall man with black hair, and rings in his ears? ” “ Oh, no, sir."

hvd.hwj9e9	“ Am I pale? ” she answered.
hvd.hwj9e9	“ And how can I tell you?
hvd.hwj9e9	“ And so, John, you saw him fall?
hvd.hwj9e9	“ And who is the boy, John?
hvd.hwj9e9	“ And yet, why did you make yourself so wet?

hvd.hwj9e9	“ But do you think I sent for you to tell you that?"
hvd.hwj9e9	“ But it was odd to swim when your boat was close at hand, was it not? ”.

hvd.hwj9e9	“ Good heavens! ” said my uncle, “ is that woman taking headers?
hvd.hwj9e9	“ Got any more? ” I was obliged to confess I had not, though sorely afraid of displeasing him.

hvd.hwj9e9	“ He did n't jump. ” “ No? ” “ He fell. ” “ Poor fellow, poor fellow! ” The words came in the softest, sweetest tones of pity.

hvd.hwj9e9	“ Jasper, you think — do you not — that your father was drowned?"
hvd.hwj9e9	“ Jasper, ” she said again at parting that night, “ you have no doubt, no grain of doubt, about my question, and the answer?

hvd.hwj9e9	“ Well?

hvd.hwj9e9	“ What d'ye think of it, boy, for a rare farce?
hvd.hwj9e9	“ What is your name? ” Truly this man had the strangest manner of questioning.
hvd.hwj9e9	“ What will you do? ” “ Go, first of all. ” “ And after? ” I shrugged my shoulders.

hvd.hwj9e9	“ You say this cut- throat fellow — this Rhodojani, as he called himself- spoke English? ” “ As well as we do.
hvd.hwj9e9	“ You will trust me? ” I pleaded, and the something in my words grew plainer.

hvd.hxdj3c	And if he killed himself, what became of the gun?
hvd.hxdj3c	Are you sure you heard a door latch click? ” This rather ruffled me and I replied rather warmly, “ Absolutely.
hvd.hxdj3c	As he straightened up, Bartley asked, “ Did you ever deliver the will to him? ” “ No, ” said the judge.
hvd.hxdj3c	As soon as he was out of hear- ing, Bartley said: “ I wonder why he lied to us about his glasses?
hvd.hxdj3c	Bartley waited till he was through and said, “ Which window did you try first? ” The butler turned and pointed to the central window.
hvd.hxdj3c	Bartley, they wo n’t arrest the young man, will they, sir?
hvd.hxdj3c	But I do not call this trouble, and do not know of any serious trouble. ” “ And no trouble over gambling? ” came the question.
hvd.hxdj3c	But he told a great story, and I do n’t see how any one can overthrow it. ” “ But suppose we tell what we saw? ” I suggested.

hvd.hxdj3c	But under the bed I found this gun. ” “ Are you sure this is the gun with which Underwood was shot? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	But we did not find any revolver, though we hunted the library over. ” “ Who do you mean by we? ” “ Williams, Mrs. Underwood, and myself.
hvd.hxdj3c	But what could he do?
hvd.hxdj3c	But what do you think was the motive? ” Bartley smiled.
hvd.hxdj3c	But what will they say was the motive for the murder? ” “ That, ” said Bartley, “ is the great problem.

hvd.hxdj3c	Have you noticed the same thing, yourself? ” ‘ ‘ I would say not, ” came the answer.
hvd.hxdj3c	He asked, “ Did you ever see your first husband after he left you? ” “ No.

hvd.hxdj3c	He waited till I finished, and then without looking up asked, “ You remember that revolver that I found in the young man ’s room?
hvd.hxdj3c	His death must have been instantaneous. ” “ Could the wound be self- inflicted? ” asked the COrOner.
hvd.hxdj3c	His eyes grew big with wonder as he looked, and in an awed voice he asked, “ Are you a detective? ”- I nodded back an assent.
hvd.hxdj3c	His eyes grew big with wonder as he looked, and in an awed voice he asked, “ Are you a detective? ”- I nodded back an assent.
hvd.hxdj3c	How did he know anything about it? ” She flushed, but answered bravely enough, “ He was my former husband's brother.
hvd.hxdj3c	How did you guess it? ” He simply laughed at my wonder.
hvd.hxdj3c	How did you know? ” Bartley smiled.
hvd.hxdj3c	I am his personal counsel, you know. ” “ But where is the will? ” asked Bartley.
hvd.hxdj3c	I did not hear any voices, for I was busy with my duties. ”- “ And that was the last time that you saw Mr. Un- derwood alive? ” “ Oh, no, sir.
hvd.hxdj3c	I did not see him again till round eleven that night. ” “ Are you sure of the time? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	I do n’t know how or when he came in last night. ” “ Do you know what they were quarrelling about? ” asked Bartley.
hvd.hxdj3c	I doubt if I was in the library over thirty minutes in all. ” “ How much money did he give you? ” came the ques- tion.
hvd.hxdj3c	I mean by that, when a man plays a high amount he will buy chips and not play the money itself. ” “ Now about that package of bills? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	I mean, tell me just what she did? ” “ Why, sir, she ran over to her husband's side, and knelt there, feeling of his hands.
hvd.hxdj3c	I tried to smile, and he smiled back, saying, “ Feel better?
hvd.hxdj3c	I will only say that I think I know now why Underwood was killed. ” “ Why? ” I asked eagerly.
hvd.hxdj3c	In fact I think — ” “ What? ” I asked eagerly.
hvd.hxdj3c	In fact there is no doubt that he would have blackmailed her later. ” “ But what did he say about the robbery? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	In fact, I am sure there was none, for I stood there a moment before I left the room. ” “ And what time was that? ” “ Around eight.
hvd.hxdj3c	In what way? ” I ventured.
hvd.hxdj3c	Is this the police station?
hvd.hxdj3c	Lnderwood. ” The young man glared at us, and snapped, “ Yes, my name is Underwood, but what is it to you?
hvd.hxdj3c	Mr. Underwood was seated at his desk. ” “ Did you, know then that he was dead? ” came the question.
hvd.hxdj3c	Now tell me, did Mr. Underwood use the machine while he was alone nights? ” The butler nodded.
hvd.hxdj3c	Now what do we make of this?
hvd.hxdj3c	Or did you hear any one in the library when you passed?
hvd.hxdj3c	Pointing to the floor, he asked, “ What stood here, Williams? ” The butler gave him a look as if he did not under- stand the question.
hvd.hxdj3c	SPILLED TOBACCO 191 And who would think of looking in a jar of tobacco that was on a desk in front of you?
hvd.hxdj3c	Severance had a pearl necklace stolen? ” “ Yes, and that seems to be it.
hvd.hxdj3c	So I went and got it, and he gave me a dollar. ” “ Can you describe the man that sent you? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	Suddenly Bartley said, “ What's the matter with Williams? ” I turned quickly and looked toward the house.
hvd.hxdj3c	THE DEAD MAN SITTING THERE 11 “ Now, Mr. Vance, is everything in this room just as you found it when you broke in and found Mr. Under- wood dead?

hvd.hxdj3c	That seemed to please him, and in the end we were on good terms. ” “ And you had no loud words? ” “ No, ” answered Underwood.

hvd.hxdj3c	The butler had started to pour my coffee when Bart- ley asked him: “ By the way, William, you locked up last night? ” The old man turned.
hvd.hxdj3c	The coroner asked, “ Did you see any one go into the library, after Vance left? ” “ Yes, sir, ” came the answer.
hvd.hxdj3c	The coroner saw this, for he asked, “ Did Mr. Under- wood, the son, return to the house? ” “ Not that I know of.
hvd.hxdj3c	The fact was not told the jury, both the coroner and the district attorney did not think it amounted to anything, but on it were WHY DO MEN DREAM?
hvd.hxdj3c	The library door was closed then. ” “ Was the outside door, I mean the door that opened into the house, locked? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hxdj3c	Then again, why throw the gun under the bed?
hvd.hxdj3c	Then all at once she cried in a high pitched voice: “ What do you mean by going away like that, and leaving me with all the baggage?

hvd.hxdj3c	They were made for his spe- cial order, and he would smoke no other kind. ” “ Do you ever smoke in his room? ” f “ Never, ” said Vance.

hvd.hxdj3c	We will have him locked up tomorrow night. ” “ And who is it? ” asked Bartley.
hvd.hxdj3c	What are you doing in my room? ” I noticed that Bartley was watching him narrowly to see the effect of his answer.
hvd.hxdj3c	What did it mean?
hvd.hxdj3c	What do you mean? ” “ Well, ” answered Underwood, “ Father was always a very busy man, but he was always cheerful.
hvd.hxdj3c	What do you think of it? ” ‘ ‘ Blackmail, ” I suggested.
hvd.hxdj3c	What do you think of it? ” ‘ ‘ Blackmail, ” I suggested.

hvd.hxdj3c	Whoever heard of a man that had just killed a person, murdered him, ever telling the police?
hvd.hxdj3c	Why Was this? ”"\ “ I returned from New York.
hvd.hxdj3c	Why are you uncertain of this? ” “ If I did hear any one speak, sir, it was only the A WOMAN ENTERs 91 tone of a voice.
hvd.hxdj3c	You are not in the habit of leaving it unlocked?
hvd.hxdj3c	You do n’t think so yourself, do you? ” I shook my head with a weary air.
hvd.hxdj3c	You do n’t think so yourself, do you? ” I shook my head with a weary air.
hvd.hxdj3c	You remember that story of Poe's?
hvd.hxdj3c	You say he did not go out last night? ” I shook my head.
hvd.hxdj3c	You see what I mean? ” That was plain enough, and I said so.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ And how did you find out about it? ” Again she flushed as she answered, “ Mr.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ And who is Mr. Ransome? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Are you sure regarding the money that he played? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ As if what? ’ ” came the impatient question of the COroner.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ But I thought he was away? ”* “ He went away last night; I do n’t know what time.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ But how can you do it? ” He made a gesture with his hands.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Did I? ” was all he said.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Did Mr. Underwood keep a revolver? ” was the next question.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Did you and your husband ever consider being re- married in another State? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Did you know if Mr. Underwood ever paid him any money? ” “ He told me that he had given him money at various times.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Did you look for any weapon? ” ‘ ‘ We did.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Did you sit in it last night?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Do you know where the boy is now? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Do you know who sent the message? ” asked the COTOner.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Do you remember the date of the sale? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Do you think, ” I ventured, “ that maybe he killed himself after all? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Find anything? ”- He was silent, setting back in his chair, with his eyes on my face, while I told him what I had discovered.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Has the news been given out yet? ” asked Bartley as he eyed Sullivan closely.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Have you any idea where he was going? ” He turned.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ How could he leave by the window when it was locked? ” For the first time, Bartley smiled.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ How in the devil could I?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ In other words, you are not just cer- tain that Underwood killed himself? ” Sullivan was silent a moment.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Is that not rather a strange thing?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Is this Mr. Pelt?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Is this one of his cigars? ” Vance took the cigar, studying it for a moment.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ It was not locked. ” “ But, ” said the chief, and in his eagerness his words fell over each other, “ how could he?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Jim, do you remember when we had the English car painted?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Suppose you do, what of it?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Then, maybe, you do n't agree with me? ” The reply came quick as a flash.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Was Mr. Underwood's son in the house at the time you found the body? ” I glanced at the young man before Vance gave the answer.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Was he here yesterday, at any time? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Was there any trouble between Mr. Underwood and his son?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What can I do for you? ” “ My name is Sullivan, ” said the man.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What can we tell?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What do you mean? ” “ Simply this.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What do you think of that fellow Vance? ” For a moment I said nothing, then replying, “ Oh, I do n’t know.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What happened? ” The young officer straightened himself.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What in the devil would you call that? ” He chuckled.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What in the devil would you call that? ” He chuckled.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What time was it when you saw your father last night? ” “ You mean the last time? ” asked the boy, looking up.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ What time was it when you saw your father last night? ” “ You mean the last time? ” asked the boy, looking up.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Where did you find it? ” “ Under the pile of letters, ” was the answer.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Who dared say that I killed my father?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Who is at the house now? ” Bartley asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Who told Mr. Underwood that his son was gam- bling? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Whose? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Why? ” “ Oh, several things made me think so.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Will you kindly tell us what they are? ” Bartley continued.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ Yes, but they were locked. ” “ In other words, ” said Bartley, “ both the door and windows were locked? ” ‘ ‘ That ’s it.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You are not Mr. Bartley? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You do n't know of course where the phone call came from? ”* The boy grinned.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You know who it is? ” I nodded, for the initials were those of Underwood's lawyer well known as one of the leaders of the New York bar.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You think that? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You thought what? ” came the quick question.
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You will pardon me, but is there anything in this that will hurt the house?
hvd.hxdj3c	“ You wished to see me? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5cf7	Did he ever beat you?
hvd.hx5cf7	All is possible; but what grounds have you for your opinion? ”The menacing letters he had received."
hvd.hx5cf7	Are you always to be found at your jewellery shop?
hvd.hx5cf7	Because of your Ambassador's orders? ” “ Yes. ” “ I will soon settle that, ” said Rojas. hvd.hx5cf7 But did you ask them about a case like this, subject to epileptic fits, or may be in a cataleptic condition?"
hvd.hx5cf7	But you knew there was none?'' hvd.hx5cf7 Can you tell me who you are?
hvd.hx5cf7	Come on,snapped Flores;"shall I finish for you?
hvd.hx5cf7	Could you tell us what time the fire started?'' hvd.hx5cf7 Do you think we are up to Beckert by now?''
hvd.hx5cf7	From unknown persons, but all bearing the postmark of Caleu. ” “ Of Caleu? hvd.hx5cf7 Had he acquired any vices since he left the regiment? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.hx5cf7	Have you a card?'' hvd.hx5cf7 Have you any documents to prove what you say?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Have you still no news of him?
hvd.hx5cf7	He is out of town. ” “ Where?
hvd.hx5cf7	He would have been back before now if nothing had happened to him?
hvd.hx5cf7	How big were they? ”. hvd.hx5cf7 How can you say such a thing when he was the best man, the most honourable man, that ever breathed? ” she answered hotly.
hvd.hx5cf7	How do you know it was coming, then?
hvd.hx5cf7	How far back do you want? hvd.hx5cf7 I am awfully sorry, Colonel; I will apologize to him; will you call him back?
hvd.hx5cf7	I do n't need to know German to know when people disagree. ”Could your son tell us more than you have told us? ” “ I do n't think so."
hvd.hx5cf7	I do n't think so, what else could we ask? ” queried Rojas. hvd.hx5cf7 I was[ 137] THE WHISPERING DEAD told the body was not recognizable, so how could they know it was not my poor husband?"
hvd.hx5cf7	If the body were exhumed, it is natural to suppose that there existed some doubt as to the identity; am I correct?!! hvd.hx5cf7 Is Calle Nataniel in District 14? ” asked Wel- check.
hvd.hx5cf7	Is that the Fire Department?'' hvd.hx5cf7 It is worth it, ” said Castor; then swinging round in his chair he added:"but please tell me, Inspector, where then is Herr Beckert?
hvd.hx5cf7	May I ask what the Chilean Government in- tend doing regarding the petition contained in Herr Beckert's letter? ” asked the Ambassador. hvd.hx5cf7 Mr. Dennis Lay? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5cf7	No, Baron, I have not; nor of the porter, Tapia. ” “ Do you think anything may have happened to them?' hvd.hx5cf7 Now for this treacherous old bird; but where the devil is · Señor Rojas?
hvd.hx5cf7	Only verbally. ”You refuse to comply with the order before you? ” asked Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	Please look at the jaws, can you identify the teeth? ” She controlled herself with a great effort and, concentrating all her strength, looked. hvd.hx5cf7 Sit down?
hvd.hx5cf7	That we do n't know; but we must find out; we shall soon hear from Caleu; and now tell me have you any news of Beckert?
hvd.hx5cf7	There is a gentleman who desires immediate speech with you, Señor Castor. ”Has he stated the nature of his business?!
hvd.hx5cf7	To what year do you refer?!! hvd.hx5cf7 Well, what is it?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Well, ” said he,we must get on our way at once; what do you propose?''
hvd.hx5cf7	What suspicious persons? hvd.hx5cf7 Where was the Chancellor's desk? ” asked Castor.
hvd.hx5cf7	Why do n't you put that in your report? ” asked Rojas. hvd.hx5cf7 Would you like to question the son?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Yes, sir,he replied, rising,"what can I do for you?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Yes, ” replied Welcheck, “ and if we find them? ” “ Then we must find the cause, Señor Baron. ” “ The murderers, you mean. hvd.hx5cf7 You have said you could recognize your hus- band by his teeth though mutilated and burnt? ”!
hvd.hx5cf7	... Well,"continued the chief, “ what are your Excellency's wishes?
hvd.hx5cf7	Am- bassador ordered them, in case they found any evidence to prove that the body was not Beckert's, to pass over it?
hvd.hx5cf7	Amende honorable for what?
hvd.hx5cf7	And you think he has gone?
hvd.hx5cf7	Answer came quickly: “ Will you hold the line a moment? ”'“ Certainly,"answered Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	Are the remains to be taken to the Club?"
hvd.hx5cf7	At last said he: “ May I offer the Señor Baron my sympathy?
hvd.hx5cf7	At last she muttered suddenly: “ Yes; I think I could. ” “ What? ” Rojas jumped up from his seat.
hvd.hx5cf7	Beckert must have known about it; was he there when it broke out?
hvd.hx5cf7	Besides, he was a diplomat, sir. ”"Have you an entry in the books???
hvd.hx5cf7	Besides, he was a diplomat, sir. ”"Have you an entry in the books???
hvd.hx5cf7	Besides, he was a diplomat, sir. ”"Have you an entry in the books???
hvd.hx5cf7	But how do you know he has a guide?!!
hvd.hx5cf7	By the way,"he looked up,"where is that fellow, the porter, Tapia?
hvd.hx5cf7	Can I see him?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Can you prove it absolutely?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Could Beckert's fears have been realized?
hvd.hx5cf7	Could it not?
hvd.hx5cf7	Did he not have his life insured? ” “ No, Monsieur le President, no; he only had his salary.
hvd.hx5cf7	Do not expose yourself to any danger; be careful, please, wo n't you, darling?
hvd.hx5cf7	Do you associate the persecution of those poor people with this fire?
hvd.hx5cf7	Do you mean to say we are under arrest?
hvd.hx5cf7	Do you now know, Señor Castor, that Herr Beckert has been fearing the assassin's knife for a year?''
hvd.hx5cf7	Do you think I come from Curico, where old men are said to act as new- born babies?
hvd.hx5cf7	Do you think you feel up to it?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Do you understand German?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Doctor Molina turned to several of the work- men and enquired: “ Were there any beams or steel joists over the body? ”.
hvd.hx5cf7	Excellency, shall we send Otto for a cab and go at once?
hvd.hx5cf7	Had anything happened to Beckert?
hvd.hx5cf7	Had he not, indeed, had the plans for it in his own keeping — the approved plans?
hvd.hx5cf7	Had he spotted them?
hvd.hx5cf7	Had the friends or"compadres ” of the men from Caleu carried out their threat?
hvd.hx5cf7	Had the officials at the Embassy given a motive?
hvd.hx5cf7	Had they not acted a little too harshly, demanding heavier penalties than were deserved?
hvd.hx5cf7	Have you any news? ”"No, Señor Castor, I have no news as yet.
hvd.hx5cf7	He broke the silence abruptly, saying in a mild voice:"And have you no news of your husband?!!
hvd.hx5cf7	He gave three or four turns and again consulted his watch; had it stopped?
hvd.hx5cf7	He had been talking to a coward, to an insect, yet when ad- vancing that one step, what did he see in this man Beckert's eyes?
hvd.hx5cf7	He laughed pleasantly, and added: “ Would you like to come nearer, the heat has died down?"
hvd.hx5cf7	He leant for- ward with quick eagerness and added: “ Could you identify the body? ” He was keeping control of an intense excite- ment.
hvd.hx5cf7	He only had eight hundred pounds a year; on what can such a claim be based?"
hvd.hx5cf7	He sudenly stopped in front of Rojas and said: “ How old was Tapia? ” “ Twenty- eight. ” “ And Beckert?"
hvd.hx5cf7	He sudenly stopped in front of Rojas and said: “ How old was Tapia? ” “ Twenty- eight. ” “ And Beckert?"
hvd.hx5cf7	He turned to Welcheck: “ Shall we send the remains to the morgue, Baron?
hvd.hx5cf7	Here we are, four days after the double crime of fire and murder, and not a trace of him. ” “ Are you sure he has not escaped to Argentine?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Herr Beckert, do n't you recognize me?'
hvd.hx5cf7	How can my Gov- ernment give largesse to foreigners and besides to our own people? ”.
hvd.hx5cf7	How could a subaltern criticise his chief's love for cheap ostentation which was the laughing stock[ 25] THE WHISPERING DEAD of Santiago Society?
hvd.hx5cf7	How dare you?"
hvd.hx5cf7	How was his face to stand the fearful sunburn produced by the rarefied Andean atmosphere, together with the re- flection of the eternal snows?
hvd.hx5cf7	How was the doctor getting on?
hvd.hx5cf7	How?"
hvd.hx5cf7	I am chilled to death; ca n't you see I can hardly walk?
hvd.hx5cf7	I am not busy yet, can I telephone your message?
hvd.hx5cf7	I ca n't sit down; do n't you know that Ciro Lara Motte is the name on the passport in Beckert's possession?"
hvd.hx5cf7	I wonder how he will take the news?"
hvd.hx5cf7	I wonder what he would have liked me to do? ”"He would have said, take it for the children, ” answered Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	I wonder where he is?
hvd.hx5cf7	If I change my name, how can I prove my identity?
hvd.hx5cf7	Is he alive?
hvd.hx5cf7	Is that so?"
hvd.hx5cf7	It seems incredible, Don Rafael; but- you see this let- ter?
hvd.hx5cf7	Mr. Beckert, you said?
hvd.hx5cf7	Nein du lieber, it is not right, besides being old- fashioned; what will Welcheck think of me in this prosaic occupation?
hvd.hx5cf7	Now, tell me where?
hvd.hx5cf7	Poor fellow! ”"May I take a few notes? ” asked Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	Rojas answered: “ Yes?
hvd.hx5cf7	Rojas could hardly believe what he heard; he hesitated, then asked doubtfully: “ Are you certain?
hvd.hx5cf7	Shall I tell you how you killed him?
hvd.hx5cf7	Shall we approach the fire?
hvd.hx5cf7	Tapia has not been there either? ” Welcheck exclaimed, really surprised to find that all his reasoning was falling to the ground.
hvd.hx5cf7	Tell me quickly if it is true?"
hvd.hx5cf7	The President's grey eyes lit up keenly as he asked in steady reply: “ Are you sure, Monsieur l'Ambassadeur?
hvd.hx5cf7	The carriage drove off, but such was my astonishment that I stood there as one in a trance, until Mr. Hengel called me, saying:'Are you coming in?
hvd.hx5cf7	The summit?"
hvd.hx5cf7	The thought occurred to both the Germans, were they really going to be arrested?
hvd.hx5cf7	To be liked, to be thought"simpaticos, ” to please every one, to gain each and everybody's confidence; had they failed?
hvd.hx5cf7	Veloso drank a glass, and, getting up, said: “ Where in perdition is our beauty?
hvd.hx5cf7	We can not find him; have you any news of him?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Welcheck, you will take care of him, wo n't you?
hvd.hx5cf7	Well; what do you propose?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Well?"
hvd.hx5cf7	Were the German Embassy officials quite correct, quite just in the case?
hvd.hx5cf7	What do you think of two thousand pounds a year for life?"
hvd.hx5cf7	What have I got?"
hvd.hx5cf7	What impression would a crime in the Embassy cause at the Foreign Office in Berlin?
hvd.hx5cf7	What number do you want?
hvd.hx5cf7	What the devil am I to do?"
hvd.hx5cf7	What the devil did he care what happened to his Chancellor, as long as the fellow did his work properly?
hvd.hx5cf7	What time did you arrive here? ”'[ 39] THE WHISPERING DEAD “ To be precise, three minutes after the midday gun.

hvd.hx5cf7	Where did the fire begin?'
hvd.hx5cf7	Where had he lunched?
hvd.hx5cf7	Who do you take me for?!
hvd.hx5cf7	Who would believe that in South America one could be cool in summer?
hvd.hx5cf7	Who?
hvd.hx5cf7	Why could not the Chancellor have been sealing a letter?
hvd.hx5cf7	Why could not the sealing- wax have caught fire?
hvd.hx5cf7	Why did he not arrive?
hvd.hx5cf7	Why had n't he asked Veloso what to do before?
hvd.hx5cf7	Why had they not examined the teeth micro- scopically as well?
hvd.hx5cf7	Why?'
hvd.hx5cf7	Will you please let me have the skull and lower jaw?
hvd.hx5cf7	Would he go to Headquarters and see Westenhoeffer's re- port, or would he stay and await Doctor Valen- zuela's report?
hvd.hx5cf7	Would the Chil- ean people sympathize with their countrymen, who, although of the lower classes, carried out the vendetta?
hvd.hx5cf7	Would they not have at- tempted it for the honour of their Fatherland?
hvd.hx5cf7	Yes?
hvd.hx5cf7	You could be sure? ” he asked keenly.

hvd.hx5cf7	“ So you still persist with your ridiculous idea about Von Bodmann and Welcheck?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Tell me, Señor Valenzuela; if Westenhoeffer made, as he says he did, an examination of the teeth, what conclusions do you draw?!
hvd.hx5cf7	“ The murdered person is Tapia? ” Rojas asked the question like an anxious child.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Then you think his body should be found where the fire took place?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Think so? ” “ Sure; prevent inflammation. ” “ Very well; I will put some on if I can get it."
hvd.hx5cf7	“ This revolver and rifle are brand new; what did you buy them for? ” No answer.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Veloso, my moustache is frozen; what shall I do? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Was he accompanied by a guide? ”"Found out last night he took Fragaza. ” “ Who is Fragaza??

hvd.hx5cf7	“ Was he going on a journey with the German gentlemen?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Was the head broken open?
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Was your husband good to you?'
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Well, Rojas, what have you done?
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Well, what news? ” asked Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Well, ” said Castor, “ it looks mighty like it; but what have you decided?
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Were Mr. Otto and Mr. Schultz partners in the gold mines??!
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Were Mr. Otto and Mr. Schultz partners in the gold mines??!
hvd.hx5cf7	“ What are you doing? ” asked Westenhoeffer hoarsely, stepping up to Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ What can I do for you, Herr Valenzuela? ” said he, in a mild mellifluous voice.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ What can I do for you? ” asked the Colonel in a sharp cutting voice like the crack of a whip.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ What did he go there for? ” “ To try and dishonour my daughter."
hvd.hx5cf7	“ What is your opinion?''
hvd.hx5cf7	“ What more powerful reason than the one be- fore us?.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ When do you hand in your report?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Where are our horses? ” enquired Rojas.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Where did Herr Beckert stay when at Caleu?'
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Where in the devil has he gone to? ” asked Veloso.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Where is your companion? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Which way did they go?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Which way would your fellow take?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Will you be long, doctor? ” “ Not more than an hour, although the written report will not be ready until tomorrow."
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Will you now let us have what we require?!!
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Will you work at home, doctor, or here?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Would a description of the watches do? ” asked Welcheck.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Do you think we shall get to the boundary before Beckert?''
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Yes. ” “ Why did n't you tell him?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Yes. ”"Where did the fire start?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Yes; the report says so. ” “ Was the key of the door found? ” asked Rojas quickly.
hvd.hx5cf7	“ You forged the Ambassador's signature on the passport of Ciro Lara's, what for?"
hvd.hx5cf7	“ Your left leg hurts you? ” “ Yes. ”"Dig your spur on the left side, and make him canter with his right foot foremost.

hvd.hxdj3y	- “ What connection then has Judge Parlin's state- ment with the crime? ” he asked uneasily.
hvd.hxdj3y	A Man Disappears I 25 “ What right had you to throw suspicion on him? ” she demanded.
hvd.hxdj3y	A Second Murder?
hvd.hxdj3y	After all, had he mistaken what he had seen, and was this the real secret he had been trying to un- ravel?
hvd.hxdj3y	Are the years since her wrongdoing to count for noth- ing?
hvd.hxdj3y	At any rate, I must find her out, ” Alive at Midnight 45 “ Can you do it on the feeble clue we have? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	But this new menace?
hvd.hxdj3y	Can you keep still on this subject two days? ” “ I kept still for eight years while I saw my hus- band crushed, ” she said reproachfully.
hvd.hxdj3y	Could he trust the woman?
hvd.hxdj3y	Did he say he had a letter to write in a way that makes you think he may have changed his mind? ”- “ No, ” she said.
hvd.hxdj3y	Did this man know also what Cranston had discovered?
hvd.hxdj3y	Do you s'pose I'd'a'waited till mornin ’ to rout ’em out ef it had ben?
hvd.hxdj3y	Do you see, Mr. Matthewson? ” “ You must excuse me from expressing any opin- ion one way or the other, ” he said, thus distinctly appealed to.
hvd.hxdj3y	Do you want it? ” Matthewson trembled, as he realised the full significance of this demand.
hvd.hxdj3y	Drowned him in the river at Millbank, where the big Falls are. ” “ What for he kill him? ” demanded the boy.
hvd.hxdj3y	Go by Aten's stage. ” “ Who told you so? ” demanded Trafford.
hvd.hxdj3y	Had he written it? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hxdj3y	Had the lawyer had any cause to fear?
hvd.hxdj3y	Has that any water- mark? ” “ It has the same water- mark. ” “ That will do.
hvd.hxdj3y	Have you a right to do this? ” “ As much right, ” retorted Matthewson hotly, In Matthewson's Chambers 233 doubt.
hvd.hxdj3y	Have you a suspicion of the motive for this murder, Mr. McManus? ” “ So far as I can see, it was motiveless, ” McManus answered.
hvd.hxdj3y	Have you ever seen this sheet before? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdj3y	He gave you no hope of securing the papers? ” “ None whatever.
hvd.hxdj3y	He was born out of wedlock. ” “ When did you first learn of this? ” “ On the eleventh of this month. ” “ The day succeeding the murder?
hvd.hxdj3y	He was born out of wedlock. ” “ When did you first learn of this? ” “ On the eleventh of this month. ” “ The day succeeding the murder?
hvd.hxdj3y	He went to the desk and took from it the letter which Wing had just sealed and directed — ” “ To whom? ” interrupted McManus.
hvd.hxdj3y	He's said to be on this Wing murder case. ” “ Oh, is that so? ” she said, raising her glasses again.
hvd.hxdj3y	How came they in Wing's hands? ” “ It is said they were stolen; but if so, not all.
hvd.hxdj3y	How could you hide them? ” “ Yes, ” she said, like a bewildered child, admit- ting a fault; “ they were stolen.
hvd.hxdj3y	How was that plunge made?
hvd.hxdj3y	I dropped them from the bridge into the pool below the Falls a half- hour ago. ” “ But where did you find them? ” was Frank Hunter's question.
hvd.hxdj3y	I have asked you before, what is the nature of the papers? ” 254 The Millbank Case “ Do not think me ungrateful, if I decline to an- swer.
hvd.hxdj3y	I saw the envelope and its address by accident a week or ten days before. ” “ Can you fix the exact date? ” “ I can not.
hvd.hxdj3y	I seed him turn as I come up the drive. ” “ But why did n't you see him?
hvd.hxdj3y	I should say you were more interested in that man over there than in me. ” “ Was I really giving attention to him? ” the son demanded.
hvd.hxdj3y	I wonder if the old judge ever wrote that paper?
hvd.hxdj3y	I'll call Cranston off at once. ” “ And Hunter? ” Charles asked in his turn.
hvd.hxdj3y	If he sinned, who of us is there that is without sin?
hvd.hxdj3y	If so, what had been the history of the few hours that elapsed before he plunged into the river to the death meant for Trafford?
hvd.hxdj3y	If so, whom did he come to see and why did he come and go so mysteriously?
hvd.hxdj3y	In this all who were concerned in em- ploying you are agreed. ” “ How long since? ” the man demanded inso- lently.
hvd.hxdj3y	In which of these men did he place the greater trust?
hvd.hxdj3y	Is my son to be the one to allow the wrong? ” This new phase of his mother's character struck him strangely and not pleasantly.
hvd.hxdj3y	Is this generation, that has grown up since all this happened, to be the judge of what she did before it was born?
hvd.hxdj3y	It is possible, of course, that A Second Murder?
hvd.hxdj3y	It ’s the fust time I ever heerd about it. ” “ Do you own a pistol? ” “ Nope.
hvd.hxdj3y	Jest as he was jumpin'on the train, I took it out o'my pocket an'put it in his'n. ” “ Do you call that giving it away? ” “ Yep!
hvd.hxdj3y	Might it not be simply to shield the murderer?
hvd.hxdj3y	Mr. Wing was in this ere room. ” “ How do you know? ” “ I saw his shadder on the curtain.
hvd.hxdj3y	Several bones broken, probably by the rocks, but that smashing of the collar bone came from a blow from above and A Second Murder?
hvd.hxdj3y	She walked the room, wringing her hands and asking herself: “ Why did n't I burn them; why did n't I burn them?
hvd.hxdj3y	Should he go to the woman and demand his price for silence; or should he give the sons the facts and make them the purchasers?
hvd.hxdj3y	Sup- pose I was P ” “ What were you there for? ” “ None of your business. ” Trafford chuckled.
hvd.hxdj3y	Suppose he should find them, would he have strength to put that offer from him?
hvd.hxdj3y	The coroner followed them: “ What do you make of it? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	The probabilities, how- ever, are against it. ” “ What follows then? ” demanded McManus.
hvd.hxdj3y	Then came the question which all were awaiting: “ Did your cousin give you a pistol the night you left Millbank? ” “ Not that I knows on.
hvd.hxdj3y	Then he came and laid his lips on her forehead and said: “ You are my mother: I shall obey your wish. ” CHAPTER X Žl ºecono MMutbet?
hvd.hxdj3y	This fact naturally raised the question, was it safe to go farther and, if so, how much farther?
hvd.hxdj3y	This man was with him till late? ” “ He left him at eleven o’clock and met me.
hvd.hxdj3y	Was this he who had cried so piteously on Millbank Bridge, “ Sacré; c'est moi, Pierre! ”?
hvd.hxdj3y	What do you make of that? ” “ It had been stolen! ” she gasped, looking pale and perplexed.
hvd.hxdj3y	What is it I ’m to do really? ” Again Henry Matthewson showed his superior masterfulness by deciding and acting.
hvd.hxdj3y	What was there, he asked himself, that was drawing him into this tragedy, of which he really knew nothing?
hvd.hxdj3y	What would Victor's wife do if he was dead?
hvd.hxdj3y	Where is the man who told it to you? ” The priest smiled and raised his hand in a sweep of the northern horizon: “ I can not track the wilderness.
hvd.hxdj3y	Where was the Pierre who had struck the blow on the bridge, and who must be able to tell the story of the man's drowning?
hvd.hxdj3y	Who entered the room first that morn- ing? ” and there was a sense of action in his tone that caused her to look up with sudden interest.
hvd.hxdj3y	Who knows that it was n't just that that sealed Wing's fate?
hvd.hxdj3y	Why do you say it's be- cause you are supposed to have the papers?
hvd.hxdj3y	Why is the dead past of that woman to be laid bare to the world?
hvd.hxdj3y	Why should n’t the thief be one and the same in both cases? ” “ Because many a man will steal where only one will commit murder.
hvd.hxdj3y	Why, then, had he called him to the door?
hvd.hxdj3y	Why? ” “ Thunder!
hvd.hxdj3y	Will you see to it, Mr. McManus, that the coroner does n’t re- convene the inquest until I can be here?
hvd.hxdj3y	Would it be so with this?
hvd.hxdj3y	Yep! ” “ When did you see him next? ” “ Lyin'a dead corpse on the doorstep at ten minutes arter six the next mornin'!
hvd.hxdj3y	Yes, it began about two years ago. ” “ It was not a habit learned from the judge, then? ”- “ Oh, no!
hvd.hxdj3y	Yet, what of a fight that involved life and honour?
hvd.hxdj3y	You know the spot? ” McManus nodded, attempting no other interrup- tion.
hvd.hxdj3y	You say, murdered — dead? ” Trafford nodded.
hvd.hxdj3y	You think so, Mr. Matthewson, do n't you? ” “ I think it will be a great wrong if such a wan- ton murder goes unpunished, ” he answered.
hvd.hxdj3y	man, how do you know these things? ” demanded McManus, his face ghastly as that of a week- old corpse.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ A sort of accessory after the fact? ” Matthew- son demanded.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Afraid of what? ” “ Just about two years ago, he found one morn- ing that his desk at the office had been ransacked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ And the other? ” “ I can get no trace of him.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ And you were the first one who came to this desk in the morning? ” when she had answered him as to the identity of the pad.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Are n't you a little hard?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Are the chambers charged? ” “ Four are.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ By a former marriage?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Certainly, ” he said, “ you do n't suspect rob- bery? ” “ I do n’t suspect anything, ” Trafford replied, somewhat brusquely.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Did he open the door for you? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Did you knock at the door before entering? ” “ Always. ” Again that slight suggestive raising of the head.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Did you pass the logging camp at the first rapids? ” “ I spent the night there, ” Trafford answered.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Do you dare deny one of them? ” retorted Traf- ford.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Do you desire to change your testimony last given? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Do you know who that man is? ” her son asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Do you own a pistol? ” demanded the coroner, as Oldbeg settled himself to his examination.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Do you think I ’ve ever failed to recognise that fact?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Do you think it was a dream or a nightmare? ” Trafford demanded, with some asperity.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ How do you know there ai n't? ” the other de- manded.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ How much will your silence cost me? ” “ Twenty- five thousand dollars, ” answered Cran- Ston.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ I ask again, who's been stirring up your conscience? ” “ Our mother, ” said Charles simply.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ I ’m a little afraid you underrate his ability. ” “ Why, what's he found out in his fortnight's work? ” demanded Hunter.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ In advance of this, would you believe it pos- sible? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Is it you, Charles, who are having this woman hunted down? ” “ What woman, mother? ” he asked in sur- prise.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Is it you, Charles, who are having this woman hunted down? ” “ What woman, mother? ” he asked in sur- prise.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Is that the blotting- pad that was here that night? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ It was, then, in your opinion no mere desire for sordid gain that impelled to the crime? ” “ Who has gained by it?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ It was, then, in your opinion no mere desire for sordid gain that impelled to the crime? ” “ Who has gained by it?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ My God, Trafford; do you see what that leads to? ” “ I see what you think it leads to.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ My profession has taught me some things! ” “ And this door? ” “ It was closed and locked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Suppose whoever's got them makes copies of them? ” Henry suggested.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ The outer door was wide open? ” Trafford said.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Was it his custom to spend the evening in your sitting room or the library? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Was that the end of it? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ We owe them thanks for putting him on to the job. ” “ Are you certain of your grounds for judgment, Mr. Hunter? ” Charles Matthewson asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What can it mean? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What do you mean by that? ” asked the other.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What is it about this new corpse that's been found at Millbank? ” Matthewson asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What is that? ” “ A thirty- two calibre Woodruff revolver. ” “ Did you ever see it before? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What is that? ” “ A thirty- two calibre Woodruff revolver. ” “ Did you ever see it before? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What is the nature of these papers? ” the other was asking.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ What kind of man would Judge Parlin have been, if the story were true? ” Mrs. Matthewson asked listlessly.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Where are they? ” asked Charles Matthewson and Frank Hunter, in a breath.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Why did n't that stupid coroner arrest that fellow Oldman — if that was his name?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Why do n't you arrest me then? ” “ Because I am satisfied you did not murder him, but can tell me who did, ” Trafford answered.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Why, have n't you got them? ” demanded Mat- thewson, between incredulity and fear.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Yep; but I gave it away. ” “ When? ” The Weapon is Produced 75 “ The night o'May tenth. ” “ To whom?"
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Yep; but I gave it away. ” “ When? ” The Weapon is Produced 75 “ The night o'May tenth. ” “ To whom?"
hvd.hxdj3y	“ Yes, ” said the mother carelessly; “ but the ino- Mrs. Matthewson and Trafford 91 tive?
hvd.hxdj3y	“ You certainly do n't suppose that I shot Mill- bank's leading citizen, do you? ” the lawyer de- manded, after a moment's pause.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ You have examined these letters? ” “ Only sufficiently to be able to identify them.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ You have met her, then? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
hvd.hxdj3y	“ You think it genuine? ” Hunter looked as if the question tired him.
hvd.hwp5u2	Did you close the door behind you when you went in?
hvd.hwp5u2	Do you ever take exercise? ” asked Tarling in- nocently. hvd.hwp5u2 Do you remember this? ” said Whiteside.
hvd.hwp5u2	Does your mother know that you are in Hert- ford?
hvd.hwp5u2	Fainted, eh? hvd.hwp5u2 Have n't you been out this beautiful morning? ” he asked innocently and this time she laughed aloud.
hvd.hwp5u2	I did n't pay him off. ” “ Your taxi, sir?
hvd.hwp5u2	Upon what?
hvd.hwp5u2	What are you going to do? ” asked Milburgh struggling. hvd.hwp5u2 , “ Who are you? ” It was Mrs. Rider's voice, and just then it was in- convenient for him to reveal himself. hvd.hwp5u2 - “ What does it all mean? ” asked Whiteside. hvd.hwp5u2 114 THE DAFFODIL MURDERFor what?"
hvd.hwp5u2	122 THE HEIR 123 “ The second? ” said Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	164 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ A loaded pistol? ” he asked, raising his eyebrows, “ but, my dear good Mr. Tarling, whatever are you talking about?
hvd.hwp5u2	164 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ A loaded pistol? ” he asked, raising his eyebrows, “ but, my dear good Mr. Tarling, whatever are you talking about?
hvd.hwp5u2	170 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ The three ledgers?"
hvd.hwp5u2	198 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ You know? ” “ Yes, Milburgh is your mother's second husband. ” Her eyes opened.
hvd.hwp5u2	204 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ You take something for granted, do n't you?"
hvd.hwp5u2	236 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ Now, do you see who killed Mrs. Rider? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	32 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ What does it mean? ” she pleaded.
hvd.hwp5u2	46 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ Do you know whether Miss Rider has friends at Hertford? ” he asked the porter.
hvd.hwp5u2	87? ” Tarling shot out a hand and gripping him by the coat, drew the helpless man towards him.
hvd.hwp5u2	A telegram was sent to Mr. Lyne asking him to come to my flat?
hvd.hwp5u2	Also there was another trouble — do you remember? ” The Chinaman looked him straight in the eyes.
hvd.hwp5u2	And if she THE WOMAN AT ASHFORD 77 was innocent, why had she disappeared so completely and in circumstances so suspicious?
hvd.hwp5u2	And now I think your bluff has gone on long enough. ” “ My bluff? ” said Tarling, in'his turn astonished.
hvd.hwp5u2	And the Hong?
hvd.hwp5u2	And what did Sam Stay know?
hvd.hwp5u2	And what had Milburgh been doing in the store by himself so late at night?
hvd.hwp5u2	And who had been the cause of it all?
hvd.hwp5u2	And why would you submit to this bondage?
hvd.hwp5u2	And why, if he was murdered here, should she trouble to pay that tribute of her respect? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	And you desired his death?"
hvd.hwp5u2	And, by the way, your young lady has slipped the shadow. ” “ What are you talking about? ” asked Tarling in surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	And, more par- 160 MR. MILBURGH SEES IT THROUGH 161 ticularly, what had he been doing in Thornton Lyne's private room?
hvd.hwp5u2	Are you safe?
hvd.hwp5u2	But how could that be?
hvd.hwp5u2	But how had he lured Thornton Lyne to the flat?
hvd.hwp5u2	But informa- tion has come to me this evening which renders it necessary that Miss Rider should be guarded. ” “ Guarded?
hvd.hwp5u2	But perhaps you will explain to me the meaning of this visit? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	But what of Milburgh, that suave and oily man?
hvd.hwp5u2	But what was the shame?
hvd.hwp5u2	But why should he be wearing list slippers?
hvd.hwp5u2	By the way, when did he buy these books?"

hvd.hwp5u2	Did it begin with an R? ”"How the'ell do I know?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Did it begin with an R? ”"How the'ell do I know?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Did she mention anybody's name? ” asked Whiteside.
hvd.hwp5u2	Did the cabman know the daughter?
hvd.hwp5u2	Do I understand that she is wanted in connection with the Daffodil Murder? ”"As a witness,"said Tarling glibly.
hvd.hwp5u2	Do I understand, Mr. Lyne has not sent you? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hwp5u2	Do n't you see, Odette, I want to help you?
hvd.hwp5u2	Do you mean the woman? ” The new theory was disturbing.
hvd.hwp5u2	Do you mean to tell me that you will not produce evidence that could prove your in- nocence, that you will make no attempt to defend your- self?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Had they gone driving together, and had she shot him in making the circuit of the Park?
hvd.hwp5u2	Has anything been heard of Stay?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Have I got it right? ” Whiteside nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	Have you a light? ” He had his electric lamp in his pocket and he put a beam upon the key- hole.
hvd.hwp5u2	Have you any other clue? ” “ None,"said the Commissioner.
hvd.hwp5u2	Have you found your Miss Stevens? ” “ Yes, ” said Tarling quietly.
hvd.hwp5u2	Have you seen these slips before? ” Tarling nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	He did it, he did it! ” “ Who?"
hvd.hwp5u2	He is a man of the greatest integrity and I would trust him with my life. ” “ Murdered with your pistol, eh? ” said the Com- missioner.
hvd.hwp5u2	He turned from side to side, thinking, think- ing, thinking Suppose there had been some mistake in the time of the accident at Ashford?
hvd.hwp5u2	He used to be a taxi- driver — did n't you know that? ” Tarling did not know that.
hvd.hwp5u2	He was a tourist, and tourists buy these foolish souvenirs?".
hvd.hwp5u2	He was alone, and told the butler he was going to his club. ” “ How was he dressed?
hvd.hwp5u2	Her name was Odette. ” “ Rider? ” said the other eagerly.
hvd.hwp5u2	How could it be your pistol?"
hvd.hwp5u2	How did you get away? ”."
hvd.hwp5u2	How did your interview with Miss Rider go off? ” Tarling shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwp5u2	I am quite worried about her. ” “ Worried about her? ” said Tarling quickly.
hvd.hwp5u2	I myself had this feeling when I hunted down Wu Fung, the strangler of 118 CHAPTER XVI THE HEIR"Your pistol? ” said Whiteside incredulously.
hvd.hwp5u2	I sup- pose it was something that happened outside. ” “ What did he hear? ” asked Tarling quickly and the porter laughed.
hvd.hwp5u2	I suppose you made en- quiries about your revolver?"
hvd.hwp5u2	I thought I made that clear to you when you were here this morn- ing? ” “ Go out? ” said the puzzled Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	I thought I made that clear to you when you were here this morn- ing? ” “ Go out? ” said the puzzled Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	I understand that letters of administration are to be applied for on your be- half? ” “ I believe that is so,"said Tarling quietly.
hvd.hwp5u2	I want to forget, I want to forget! ” “ What do you want to forget?"
hvd.hwp5u2	I wonder! ” “ You wonder what?".
hvd.hwp5u2	Is anybody suspected, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	Is n't she here? ” “ Here? ” said Mrs. Rider, wide- eyed, “ of course she is not. ”"But has n't she been here? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	Is n't she here? ” “ Here? ” said Mrs. Rider, wide- eyed, “ of course she is not. ”"But has n't she been here? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	Is n't she here? ” “ Here? ” said Mrs. Rider, wide- eyed, “ of course she is not. ”"But has n't she been here? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	Is n't that so? ” She nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	Is n't this a matter for the police?
hvd.hwp5u2	Is there any difference in them?
hvd.hwp5u2	Is there any fresh news? ” “ I ought to ask you that, ” said Tarling quietly.
hvd.hwp5u2	It's something more than a coincidence, do n't you think, Tarling?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Lyne's death? ” she stammered.
hvd.hwp5u2	MURDER 29 “ Against me?
hvd.hwp5u2	Mr. Milburgh could not have done it; he could not be so great a scoundrel. ” “ Who sent the wire to your mother saying you were not coming down?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Now, Miss Rider, you're going to be frank with me, are n't you?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Of theft?
hvd.hwp5u2	She is not going out?"
hvd.hwp5u2	So I went to the big store to search it. ”"Did you get in? ” asked Tarling in surprise, and again Ling Chu smiled.
hvd.hwp5u2	Suppose I left something unmistakably Chinese?
hvd.hwp5u2	Suppose Milburgh had com- mitted the crime?
hvd.hwp5u2	Suppose she had?
hvd.hwp5u2	Suppose the doctors were wrong and Thornton Lyne was murdered at an earlier hour?
hvd.hwp5u2	Suppose, to hide his defalcations, he had shot his employer dead?
hvd.hwp5u2	THE ARREST 267"Where did you see Thornton Lyne last? ” asked Tarling, and the man made a great effort to compose himself.
hvd.hwp5u2	THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ Daffodil murder? ” he repeated to himself and bought a newspaper.
hvd.hwp5u2	THE HUNTER DECLINES 13 “ You want me to get the evidence, eh? ” said Tar- ling curiously.
hvd.hwp5u2	Tarling? ” he repeated, looking at the card again.
hvd.hwp5u2	Tarling?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Tarling?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Tell us what happened?
hvd.hwp5u2	That young man? ” “ He was murdered in Hyde Park yesterday morn- ing, ” said Tarling, and she staggered back and col- lapsed into a chair.
hvd.hwp5u2	The big man had his back to me. ” “ What was he doing? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	The dead man was last seen alive at half- past nine. ” “ Well? ” said Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	The first to her mother, saying that she could not come; the second to Lyne, running: “ Will you see me at my flat tonight at eleven o'clock?
hvd.hwp5u2	There was a little pause and then: “ I suppose Lyne's estate will go to the Crown?
hvd.hwp5u2	Those sinister little red squares of · red paper with the two Chinese characters, one of which had been found in Thornton Lyne's pocket?
hvd.hwp5u2	To extract Tarling's revolver was an easy matter- but why, if he had murdered Lyne, would he have left the incriminating weapon behind?
hvd.hwp5u2	Very interesting. ” “ Well? ” asked Tarling impatiently, almost sav- agely.
hvd.hwp5u2	Was he in love with her?
hvd.hwp5u2	Was it possible that she had not heard of the murder?
hvd.hwp5u2	We've found the revolver. ” “ Where? ” asked Tarling quickly.
hvd.hwp5u2	What 36 THE DAFFODIL MURDER would she think of it?
hvd.hwp5u2	What did that man want? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	What do you mean? ” de- manded Tarling quickly.
hvd.hwp5u2	What happened?
hvd.hwp5u2	What if Ling Chu —?
hvd.hwp5u2	What is there extraordinary in this?".
hvd.hwp5u2	What others?"
hvd.hwp5u2	What's this you have? ” He wrenched something from the man's hand.
hvd.hwp5u2	When did you see Thornton Lyne last?"
hvd.hwp5u2	When was the man last seen alive? ” “ At half- past nine,"said Tarling with a little smile.
hvd.hwp5u2	Where are the servants? ” Then, unexpectedly, she broke away from him and raced back through the door into the wing they had left.
hvd.hwp5u2	Where had they met?
hvd.hwp5u2	Whiteside, get a cab, will you?
hvd.hwp5u2	Who was Miss Stevens, and why should she be journeying to Dover on the night of the murder?
hvd.hwp5u2	Who was Mrs. Rider's mysterious visitor?
hvd.hwp5u2	Who was her father — that mysteri- ous father who appeared and disappeared at Hertford, and what part did he play in the crime?
hvd.hwp5u2	Who was she expecting to see, wondered Tarling, and why did she check herself?
hvd.hwp5u2	Whose 59 60 THE DAFFODIL MURDER treachery had cut short this wonderful life?
hvd.hwp5u2	Why do n't you tell me something about your fa- ther —? ” es 140 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ My father? ” She looked at him in amazement.
hvd.hwp5u2	Why do n't you tell me something about your fa- ther —? ” es 140 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ My father? ” She looked at him in amazement.
hvd.hwp5u2	Why had this mys- terious person tried to get into the house again, and for whom or what were they searching?
hvd.hwp5u2	Why should Odette Rider be content to accept a servile position in Lyne's Stores when her mother was living in luxury at Hertford?
hvd.hwp5u2	Why should his coat be off, and why should the nightdress be bound round and round his body?
hvd.hwp5u2	Wo n't you sit down?"
hvd.hwp5u2	Wo n't you tell me all about it?
hvd.hwp5u2	Wo n't you tell me every- thing, please? ” “ No, no, no,"she murmured with a little catch in her voice.
hvd.hwp5u2	Wo n't you tell me? ” She shook her head without looking up.
hvd.hwp5u2	Yet why should he have this sign of'The Cheerful Hearts'in his pocket on the night he was murdered?
hvd.hwp5u2	You know that the police attach a great deal of importance to the discovery of one of these things in the dead man's pocket? ” Mr. Milburgh nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	You know them, sir?
hvd.hwp5u2	You must do something, do you hear?
hvd.hwp5u2	You were working with him, or he wanted you to work with him. ” “ Of whom are you speaking? ” asked Tarling quickly.
hvd.hwp5u2	ambulance, Whiteside, will you? ” “ Shall I give him some water? ” Tarling shook his head.
hvd.hwp5u2	ambulance, Whiteside, will you? ” “ Shall I give him some water? ” Tarling shook his head.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ A Chinaman, eh? ” said Lyne, looking at this unexpected apparition with curiosity.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ A private detective? ” she said in a troubled voice.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ A telegram from me?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ About that telegram, sir? ” asked Cole.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Adventurers? ” said Lyne with a little laugh.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Against what? ” she asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Am I doing that? ” he said in surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And all the proof of Milburgh's guilt gone up in smoke, eh? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And left the pistol behind? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And now that you have found me, ” she went on, speaking rapidly, “ what do you want?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And this is one of those? ” “ This is such a one.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And what induced her to leave London so hurriedly? ” Tarling gave a despairing gesture.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And when you said you would come with me to England, did you ex- pect to meet the bad Englishman? ” Ling Chu shook his head.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And you have told me that you suspected Miss Rider of defalcations? ” Again the pause and again the man nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And you mean to tell me,"he demanded, “ that Thornton Lyne was killed with your pistol? ” Tarling nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ And you're going to arrest me? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Any fresh news? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Are there laundry marks?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Are you expecting a visitor? ” he asked softly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Are you going abroad? ” she asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ As a witness, eh? ” he said drily.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But do n't you realise that you may be charged with being an accessory before or after the act? ” he urged.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But do n't you see that suspicion will attach to you? ” urged Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But it does not follow, ” said Whiteside, “ that the bare- footed person who was apparently in Mrs. Ri- da WHO KILLED MRS. RIDER?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But who in God's name wanted to get into the house after murdering Mrs. Rider? ” asked White- side irritably.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But why St. Mary Axe at this time of the afternoon?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But why on earth should he want to put in three new ledgers — they were new, were n't they?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ But why? ” asked Whiteside again.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ By all accounts she does n't get on with her father. ”"Her father?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Ca n't come in?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Can I have a glass of water? ” he begged, licking his dry lips.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Can he account for his movements last night and early this morning?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Can you come to the Yard for five minutes, Tar- ling?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Daffodils?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Did he also give you the key of his desk? ” asked the detective drily.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Did he send two wires, do you remember?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Did n't she arrive here two nights ago?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Did you ever meet Stay before? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Did you know Mr. Lyne? ” he asked after a while.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Did you read my little book? ” he asked suddenly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do n't you know? ” “ Know what?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do n't you know? ” “ Know what?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do n't you realise that I love you and would give my life to save you from unhappiness?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do n't you wish you might never come round, eh?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you accuse Miss Rider of complicity in this murder? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you feel well enough to go out now? ” asked Whiteside.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you hear? ” asked Lyne triumphantly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you know anything about daffodils, Whiteside?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you know the person who has been robbing you? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you know whom you are talking to? ” he asked, raising his voice.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you live here alone? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you mean to accuse —? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you mind if I smoke? ” THE HOSPITAL BOOK 93 “ Not a bit, ” said the doctor cheerfully.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you see that whorl?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you share this flat with somebody? ” “ I have a woman who sleeps here, ” she said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you think that Miss Rider had any reason for running away? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you think that he knows anything about this? ” Tarling shook his head.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Do you want — this? ” she asked, and pointed to the wallet on the table.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Does it enhance or de- preciate your position? ” Milburgh smiled.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Duty's duty,"she mocked him, “ and now tell me this — are you going to keep me under observation all the time?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Empty, of course? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Exercise, Mr. Tarling? ” he said with an air of mystification.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ For what?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Go out? ” said Milburgh, looking up in alarm.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Has he an heir? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Has he died?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Have n't you your own shop detective who could take that job in hand?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Have you any idea where she would be?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Have you any idea why he should want to out you? ” asked Whiteside.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Have you any news of her?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Have you arrested her? ” “ Not yet, ” said Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Have you heard any stories about Mr. Lyne? ” She looked up.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ He was good to you, was he not? ” 64 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ Good? ” The man drew a deep breath.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ He was good to you, was he not? ” 64 THE DAFFODIL MURDER “ Good? ” The man drew a deep breath.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ He? ” “ Yes – I remember.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How did you find it out?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How did you find that? ” “ I guessed that, ” he smiled, “ and she keeps her name Rider at Milburgh's request.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How do you know that he quick die? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How do you know that?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How do you mean? ” he asked."
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How long has it been gone?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How long have you been a clergyman, Mr. Mil- · burgh? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How long were you in the house? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How long will the examination take? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ How many people are concerned in this mur- der?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Hullo! ” said Tarling sarcastically, “ are these intended as a loving gift from Mr. Lyne to Miss Rider? ” The man was speechless with rage.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Hullo, what are you trying to do?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I happened to see the signature to that wire — Odette, is n't it? ” said the Scotland Yard man.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I have complained that sums of money have been missing for the past month? ” repeated Milburgh dully.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I hope I did n't hurt you?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I sup- pose you're taking her with you? ” Tarling nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I suppose you thought it rather curious that a man in my position should bother his head to write poetry; eh?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I suppose you're a friend of the young lady's, are n't you? ” and Tarling nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I suppose, Mr. Tarling, nothing has been discovered? ”"At any rate, I did n't expect to discover you here this morning!"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I think you were sorry for me,"she said,"and you were rather led into your wild declaration of- of — ” “ Love?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I was half beside myself with anx- iety. ” “ You take a tremendous interest in Miss Rider, do n't you? ” asked Whiteside drily.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I was never more serious in my life. ” “ But who would commit such an infernal act as that?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I wonder if they were the three books that Mil- burgh bought yesterday?'
hvd.hwp5u2	“ I've got the car here, sir, and we might discuss it on the way back to the Yard. ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ In the first place,"he asked bluntly, “ why are you here under the name of Miss Stevens? ” She thought a moment, then shook her head.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is anything wrong? ” Her voice shook for a second, but she recovered herself.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is it not possible for you to come out? ” he asked anxiously, and in spite of herself she smiled.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is n't that clever of you to discover that? ” he said admiringly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is n't that the fact? ” There was a long pause, and presently Milburgh nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is that you, Mr. Tarling?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is there a telephone here? ” “ Yes, sir,"replied the butler.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is there any necessity for your daughter working for a living? ” he asked bluntly and she dropped her eyes.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Is there any particular reason?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Listen to that? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Little night walks in the fog for the bene- fit of your health?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Love? ” he repeated incredulously and Tarling nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Mad? ” she asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Master, ” he said, “ may not the white- faced man who is now dead have brought such a thing from Shanghai?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ May I come with you? ” asked Ling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ May I go now, Mr. Lyne? ” she asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Might I ask the name of this party?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Miss Rider — oh no, impossible! ” “ Why impossible? ” demanded Mr. Lyne sharply.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Must I be butchered to make a detective's holi- day?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ My father, did you say?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Not from the girl's flat at all?."
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Now what do you wish me to do?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Now, Mr. Milburgh,"he said brusquely, “ I want to ask you: have you ever seen a piece of paper like this before?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Now, you will tell us, Ling Chu, did those printed words speak the truth? ” Ling Chu nodded."
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Of course, it was very horrid at first and — what do you want?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Of theft?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Oh, yes, I take an interest, ” he admitted,"but it is very natural. ” “ Why natural?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Oh, you sent for Ling Chu, did you? ” said White- side in surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ On Lyne's desk? ” Milburgh nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ On the charge of — murder? ” He nodded again.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ On the night of the fourteenth. ” “ On the night of the fourteenth?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Or on the handkerchiefs? ” “ None, ” replied Mr. Cresswell.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Others?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ She is not very well off, but extremely neat, fond of good things but not extravagant, eh?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ She is out for the evening. ” “ Has she a key? ” The girl shook her head.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ She was a good girl? ” he repeated, this time speaking in Chinese and using a phrase which had a more delicate shade of meaning.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ So it was committed with your pistol, Tarling? ” he said with a little smile.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ So this is where the young lady lives, eh?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ So you knew that, did you? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Some of the tenants up- stairs were making complaints. ” “ Complaints about what? ” asked Tarling and the man hesitated.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Supposing it were true that I had robbed the firm, why should I want to kill Mr. Lyne?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ That does n't seem to be a very offensive proceed- ing,"he said good- humouredly;"what sort of led- gers?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ That was the Chinese girl's name, eh?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ That's the idea, eh? ” he said, walked to the door, closed it and stood with his back to it.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Then she does suspect somebody? ” Tarling nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Then why did you not tell the police be- fore?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Then you do have watchers?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Then you have n't seen her? ” asked Mrs. Rider anxiously.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ They were n't in the fireproof vault?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ They, they?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ This is the lot? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Thornton Lyne? ” he repeated.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Though I am naturally pleased to be in a position to prove the girl's innocence. ” “ Prove her innocence?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ To the big shop? ” said Tarling in surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ To the flat? ” nodded Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Train to London, sir?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Used to having his way when WHO KILLED MRS. RIDER?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ We've got him as surely as if we had him in the pen! ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ We? ” She looked at him in surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well, Sam,"he said genially,"you did n't expect me?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well, and what next? ” he asked aloud.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well, what do you make of that, Whiteside?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well, what is the next move?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well? ” asked the detective impatiently.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Well? ” said the Commissioner at last.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What about the man? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What are you doing? ” he asked, halting by the side of the couch.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What did the Man with the Cunning Face say to my letter? ” “ Master, he said nothing.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What did you think of them? ” he asked pres- ently.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you expect to find from the mother? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you make of it?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you mean by bluff?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you say? ”.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you think of Milburgh's story? ” he asked and Tarling shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What do you think, Tarling? ” Tarling nodded and led the way back to the room.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What does it mean?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What effect has this murder had upon you per- sonally? ” he asked bluntly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What had he in common with the criminal? ” Commissioner Cresswell shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What happened then? ” “ Well, he went out, ” said the cabman, “ and pres- ently I heard a cab being cranked up.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What happened then? ”"He put the envelope in his pocket and went out.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What happened to my taxi? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What has happened? ” asked the girl in a trou- bled voice.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What have you against her? ” he asked, with an assumption of carelessness which he did not feel.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What is extraordinary? ” asked Tarling with an air of surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What is it?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What is it?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What is this?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What is wrong, what is wrong?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What is your theory, Ling Chu? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What of Face- White- and- Weak man, Ling? ” he asked in the vernacular.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What on earth's the matter?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What sort of a revolver is it?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What was the false statement?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ What were you going to see me about? ” he asked suddenly, remembering that Whiteside had been on his way to the hotel when they had met.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ When was this murder committed? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where am I to go? ” “ To Cannon Row Police Station,"said the practical Whiteside.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where are you — we — going? ” she asked awk- wardly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where does that door lead? ” he asked but she did not appear to hear him.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where is Mr. Whiteside? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where is my revolver?'
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where was it? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Where's the fire, constable? ” he asked.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who are they?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who are we? ” “ I am referring to myself and a girl to whom I made violent love at Hertford, ” said Tarling and she dropped her eyes.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who are you? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who has sent you?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who is the criminal? ” asked Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who is the lady, may I venture to ask, sir?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who took it?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who was the man?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who was the man? ” “ Stay,"said Tarling.

hvd.hwp5u2	“ Who?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why did she call herself Miss Stevens? ” asked Whiteside.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why do n't you make a confidant of me, Miss Rider? ” he said.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why do you ask?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why not? ”"Because it's not my kind of job,"said Tarling.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why should he be found with daffodils on his chest?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why to South America? ” asked the girl.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why unfortunately? ” asked Mr. Cresswell.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why, what has happened?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why, yes, sir,"smiled Milburgh, “ I've always worked hard. ” “ You were working pretty hard before Mr. Lyne was killed, were you not?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Why?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Will the master go back to Shanghai? ” asked the other, without any display of emotion.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Will you please take me back? ” She saw his embarrassment and was quick to under- stand its cause.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Will you please tell me what you did with the re- volver which you found on Mr. Lyne's desk?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Wo n't you sit down?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Would you like me to come along with you?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Would you like me to come along? ”"No, thank you,"said the other.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ Yes--"hesitated Milburgh, “ I can say honestly, that I was. ” MR. MILBURGH SEES IT THROUGH 163 “ Very late at night?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You are not going out tonight, then, Ling Chu?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You can not identify any of these with Miss Rider?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You did n't think I'd desert you, Sam, eh? ” said Mr. Lyne, all aglow with consciousness of his virtue.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You do n't mean that?
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You have been to the Man with the Cunning Face?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You have found out something, though? ” sug- gested Tarling quickly, and Whiteside nodded.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You have n't mixed your own footmarks up with somebody else's? ” he asked jocularly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You have no particular reason for wishing to shield Miss Rider, have you? ” he asked coldly.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You have? ” said Tarling in surprise.
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You know that around Lyne's chest a silk night- dress was discovered?"
hvd.hwp5u2	“ You mean Miss Rider? ” he asked.

hvd.hxdmde	Did you hear any sound outside, before you opened the door? ” “ A curious chopping sound. hvd.hxdmde How will you manage alone?"
hvd.hxdmde	What do you mean by a thing like that?
hvd.hxdmde	What do you think of that?' hvd.hxdmde What's the matter? ” she demanded.

hvd.hxdmde	Ai n't that it, boys? ” “ That, and a matter of brains, ” said Burns.
hvd.hxdmde	And by whom?"
hvd.hxdmde	Are those his exact words? ”"I do not recall his exact words."
hvd.hxdmde	Are you trying to discipline me?"
hvd.hxdmde	But I had angered her, and she went on cruelly:- “ Who are you, anyhow?
hvd.hxdmde	But we were only a few days out by that time, and, after all, what could they do?
hvd.hxdmde	But what other? ” She looked around — we were alone.
hvd.hxdmde	But which one?
hvd.hxdmde	Can you come out? ” She came a moment later, and I asked her to call into each cabin to see if every one was safe.
hvd.hxdmde	Did you see the mate, Mr. Singleton, during your watch? ”"Every half- hour from 12.30 to 1.30.
hvd.hxdmde	Do any of these keys fit the captain's cabin?'
hvd.hxdmde	Do you know what we have been doing, locked in down here?
hvd.hxdmde	Does n't go far, does it?
hvd.hxdmde	Going back to the 30th of July, when you were not ill, did you have any words with the captain? ” “ We had a few.
hvd.hxdmde	He has the binnacle lantern and two other lights. ” “ And no one came from the after house? ” “ No one."
hvd.hxdmde	He said he was going forward to lie down, and for me to strike them. ” “ Who struck the bell at three o'clock? ” “ I did, sir."
hvd.hxdmde	He wanted a chance to get at him. ” “ What happened after that? ” “ The captain came down and ordered the mate on deck.
hvd.hxdmde	He was pale and 246 TURNER'S STORY looked ill later, when the crew had gath- Ter ered. ” “ About this key: was it ever found?
hvd.hxdmde	He went to where the axe was kept. ” “ Where was that? ”.
hvd.hxdmde	How could you see? ” For reply, he leaned over and, turning down the lamp, blew it out.
hvd.hxdmde	How did it resemble a fountain? ”"Perhaps I should have said a fountain in moonlight- white, and misty, and — and flowing."
hvd.hxdmde	How did you see him?"
hvd.hxdmde	How- how d'ye like it? ” Mr. Vail came forward, the only cool one of the four.
hvd.hxdmde	Humorous duck, is n't he?
hvd.hxdmde	I am to submit to his inso- lence? ” She stopped and turned, and the smile faded.
hvd.hxdmde	I am —'Elsa's jail- bird?
hvd.hxdmde	I felt it. ” “ Did you know the first mate, Singleton, before you met on the Ella? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hxdmde	I heard him. ” “ Where did he go after that? ” “ He went aft. ” “ You could not see him?"
hvd.hxdmde	I heard him. ” “ Where did he go after that? ” “ He went aft. ” “ You could not see him?"
hvd.hxdmde	I mean, was he not able, apparently, to walk alone? ” “ He was able to walk.
hvd.hxdmde	I might not have noticed. ” “ Did you leave your cabin that night of August 11 or early morning of the 12th?"

hvd.hxdmde	Is he?"

hvd.hxdmde	It had nothing to do with this. ” “ What did she ask you to do? ” I persisted remorselessly.
hvd.hxdmde	It moved about, and then disappeared. ” “ How?"
hvd.hxdmde	It was locked, but almost instantly she spoke from inside:- “ What is it? ” “ Nothing much.
hvd.hxdmde	It was looking in. ” “ What sort of a thing? ” “ What I told you- white."
hvd.hxdmde	It was n't. ” “ How long was Mrs. Johns on deck? ” “ Not long."
hvd.hxdmde	Leslie, I am frightened — you know what I mean. ” “ Turner? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hxdmde	Let a drunken sot like that give us orders, and bang us with a belaying pin when we do n't please him? ”.
hvd.hxdmde	Mr. Vail and the captain got Mr. Turner to his room. ” “ How do you know that? ”"I opened my door."
hvd.hxdmde	Not one of our men? ”.
hvd.hxdmde	Oh, my God, Leslie! ” “ When you went back after the alarm, did you count the men? ”.
hvd.hxdmde	Shall I give it to you? ” I held it out to her on the palm of my hand.
hvd.hxdmde	Singleton said that he hoped the cap- 210 THE AFTER HOUSE “ What was its nature? ” “ They were quarreling."
hvd.hxdmde	Singleton was the first to speak:- “ How are you going to get back?
hvd.hxdmde	Sloane, do you recognize these two garments? ” He held up a man's dinner shirt and a white waistcoat.
hvd.hxdmde	That was all. ” “ There had been nothing suspicious earlier in the night? ” He lay thinking.
hvd.hxdmde	That was how I met Mrs. Turner. ” “ Where was your room on the yacht Ella? ” “ Off the chart- room."
hvd.hxdmde	That's agreeable to you, is it, Burns? ” “ But I do n't know anything about a ship, ” I objected.
hvd.hxdmde	That's the usual thing among pirates, is n't it? ” “ I have no answer to that, Mrs. Johns,"I said quietly, and turned to where Elsa sat.
hvd.hxdmde	The hospital?
hvd.hxdmde	The key to the storeroom? ” “ Yes. ” “ When? ” “ That same morning."
hvd.hxdmde	The key to the storeroom? ” “ Yes. ” “ When? ” “ That same morning."
hvd.hxdmde	The key was taken from me while I was unconscious. ” “ Did you ever see the white object that has been spoken of by the crew?"
hvd.hxdmde	The men can sail a course, but who is to lay it out?
hvd.hxdmde	The officer on watch carried the key. ” “ Could you see what he was doing? ” “ No; but he was fumbling at the box.
hvd.hxdmde	There was 200 THE AFTER HOUSE “ At this time, had you called the owner of the ship?"
hvd.hxdmde	There was no noise — just a sort of swishing sound. ” “ What did you do then? ”"I waited a moment, and hurried back to the after house."
hvd.hxdmde	They did n't have jugs, did they? ” “ You know the'Rubaiyat ’? ” she asked slowly.
hvd.hxdmde	They did n't have jugs, did they? ” “ You know the'Rubaiyat ’? ” she asked slowly.
hvd.hxdmde	They had been forgotten when the other trunks were packed. ” “ Had you washed them? ”"No."
hvd.hxdmde	Turner's revolver. ” “ What did he say when he gave it to you?"
hvd.hxdmde	We are trying one man, it is true, but, in a certain 225 THE AFTER HOUSE “ Ill, in his cabin. ” “ How ill? ” “ Very.

hvd.hxdmde	We were kind to you, were n't we?
hvd.hxdmde	What are those fish out there flying for, but to get out of the way of bigger fish? ” 29 THE AFTER HOUSE Charlie Jones surveyed me over his pipe.
hvd.hxdmde	What bell is registered? ” “ Three. ” “ Three! ” she said.
hvd.hxdmde	What is this book?"
hvd.hxdmde	What was Mr. Singleton's manner at the time you mention? ” “ He was excited.
hvd.hxdmde	What's the land, anyhow?
hvd.hxdmde	Where is the axe?"
hvd.hxdmde	Where's the captain? ” “ The mate's around. ” He raised his voice.
hvd.hxdmde	Which is correct? ” “ I saw them. ” “ You say that Mr. Singleton said he wished to'get at'the captain.
hvd.hxdmde	Which was yours?"
hvd.hxdmde	Who is with you? ” “ Vail, ” he replied promptly.
hvd.hxdmde	Why do n't you lock up Jones? ” “ We are all under suspicion, ” I admitted.
hvd.hxdmde	Why should I not call the men here and remind them of all that? ”"I do not believe you will.
hvd.hxdmde	Will you come to the door? ” “ In a moment."
hvd.hxdmde	Will you look at the bell register for me?
hvd.hxdmde	Will you wait outside?
hvd.hxdmde	Wine is wine, is n't it?
hvd.hxdmde	Would you have the innocent suffer with the guilty? ”.
hvd.hxdmde	Yes. ” 249 THE AFTER HOUSE “ Was the fact that Burns carried the key to the captain's cabin a matter of general knowl- edge?"

hvd.hxdmde	You are taking us back? ” “ Why not? ” She picked up the revolver and examined it absently.

hvd.hxdmde	You do not know law as well as medicine?"
hvd.hxdmde	You fellows have been mighty careful to destroy the evidence, have n't you? ” All that long day we made our deliberate progress up the river.

hvd.hxdmde	“ A white head? ” “ It was n't a head.
hvd.hxdmde	“ And Williams?
hvd.hxdmde	“ And she thought that it was Mr. Turner? ” “ Yes. ” The stewardess looked quickly at Mrs. Turner, and averted her eyes.
hvd.hxdmde	“ And the mate, Mr. Singleton? ” “ He is in the forward house."
hvd.hxdmde	“ Are you going to put us all in prison? ” “ That's as may be, ” I evaded.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Are you sure? ” I looked again.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Before that?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ But Singleton? ” I glanced aft.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Can you describe what he wore? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Delirium? ” “ Very marked.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Did she ask you to do something for her? ” Pale as he was, he colored; but he eyed me honestly.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Did the members of the crew know? ” “ I believe so.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Did you ever tell the prisoner where the axe was kept?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Did you hear any sound in Mr. Vail's cabin that night?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Do you know what I think? ” she said slowly.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Do you own the yacht Ella? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you recognize this chart? ” “ Yes.

hvd.hxdmde	“ Have you seen Mr. Turner? ” Miss Lee demanded.
hvd.hxdmde	“ How are you liking the sea, Leslie? ” she said, after she had tested her ankle and found the damage inconsiderable.
hvd.hxdmde	“ How can we know?
hvd.hxdmde	“ How do we know what you are giving him?
hvd.hxdmde	“ How does he know?
hvd.hxdmde	“ How does it happen to be in your posses- sion?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ How long after you felt the board rise?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ How long have you lived in the United States? ” “ Since I was two."
hvd.hxdmde	“ I do n't remember. ” “ When did you see Mr. Vail last?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ I do n't understand. ” “ Over the rail? ” “ Oh — no, sir.
hvd.hxdmde	“ I saw it gleaming. ” “ Gleaming? ” “ Sort of shining, ” he explained.

hvd.hxdmde	“ I'm in bad shape now; just getting over fever. ” “ Fever, eh?
hvd.hxdmde	“ Is it a pose?
hvd.hxdmde	“ Is it still raining?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Is n't it there? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Is there anything I can do for you? ” “ Yes, ” he snarled.
hvd.hxdmde	“ It is the key to my jewel- case. ” “ Will you let me see it?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Just now. ”"Has Mrs. Johns been told? ” “ Not yet. ” She went herself to Mrs. Johns's cabin, and knocked.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Karen exclaimed, ” Miss Lee said slowly, “ that some one was sitting on the companion steps? ” “ Yes, miss."
hvd.hxdmde	“ My- what?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ No. ” “ What did you do with the wheel when you left it?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Offer me something?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Or is it you behind that beard? ” “ It's I, all right, Mac, ” I said, somewhat huskily.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Singleton, you're the captain, d'ye hear?
hvd.hxdmde	“ Singleton, ” I said, “ if you did n't do it, – and I want to think you did not, — who did? ” He shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hxdmde	“ The — what?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Then this other one- forward, you call it, do n't you?
hvd.hxdmde	“ Then, ” I said, “ when the lookout saw you with the axe, you were replacing it?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Then- where is the key?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ There is n't- I suppose there's no chance of your needing another hand? ”"No."
hvd.hxdmde	“ They were drinking? ” “ Yes, Mrs. Turner.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Us?
hvd.hxdmde	“ Very much, Miss Lee. ” “ Do you intend to remain a — a sailor? ” “ I am not a sailor.

hvd.hxdmde	“ Was the axe gone then?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ We are back again, Leslie. ” “ Yes, Miss Lee. ” “ Back to — what?
hvd.hxdmde	“ Well? ” I demanded.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Well? ” — sullenly.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Were the connecting doors between your room and Mr. Vail's generally locked at night? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Were the shirt and vest similar to these I show you? ” “ Most of them things look alike to me.
hvd.hxdmde	“ Were they locked on this particular night?"
hvd.hxdmde	“ Were they washed on shipboard? ” 212 THE AFTER HOUSE to the rail.
hvd.hxdmde	“ What are we going to do with them? ” “ We'll have to take them back. ” “ But we ca n't do that.
hvd.hxdmde	“ What are you going to do when you get to land, Mr. Captain Leslie? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdmde	“ What are you going to do with them knives? ” I had an inspiration.
hvd.hxdmde	“ What are you going to do?

mdp.39015031228540	How do we^now that last night he was not in London, in this very house when Zichy and Chetney met?'
mdp.39015031228540	How do you know which card was that of the mur- dered man?"
mdp.39015031228540	How many letters did you leave here?'
mdp.39015031228540	If you know this man is a murderer, why is he at large?
mdp.39015031228540	Is this a game you have been playing?
mdp.39015031228540	What do you think?'
mdp.39015031228540	What does it mean?"
mdp.39015031228540	What was the man's name?"
mdp.39015031228540	Why in the name of common sense,'he cried,'should I have chosen that moment of all others to send my brother back to the grave?'
mdp.39015031228540	You have never seen a London fog, have you?'
mdp.39015013472033	-What do you know? ” ſaid Emily.—“O'ma'amſelle, we have no time for talking now; let us go on.

mdp.39015013472033	Aye, and then there is the picture; did you ſee that?
mdp.39015013472033	But hark!--what voice is that? ”"Oh, my Lord I that is the voice we often hear with the muſic.".
mdp.39015013472033	But how does that dear young gentleman do, M. Valancourt?
mdp.39015013472033	But then,'ſays he, how is one to keep the garden clear, if one is afraid to fire at a robber, when one ſees him?"
mdp.39015013472033	But what could one man do againſt four?
mdp.39015013472033	Did you never ſee her thus before? ”- Never,"ſaid Emily.
mdp.39015013472033	Did you, indeed, honour me with a thought- a tear?
mdp.39015013472033	Do not weep, Emily, ” continued the Count, taking her hand, “ there is happi- í neſs reſerved for you. ”?
mdp.39015013472033	Do, you think I do not know, that he loves you?
mdp.39015013472033	Dorothée, ” ſaid Emily, “ can that be poſſible? ”"I fear it was ſo, madam, there were ſtrange appearances!
mdp.39015013472033	Emily, will you not ſpeak to me?"
mdp.39015013472033	In the next moment, ſhe heard the following words,'“ Why you would not murder the whole gang?"
mdp.39015013472033	Let them be who they will, they are rich, or why all thoſe ſervants?
mdp.39015013472033	May I not alſo aſk, whether you could wiſh me to do this, if you really loved me?"

mdp.39015013472033	She watched to a late hou?
mdp.39015013472033	She ſighed deeply, and, after the pauſe of a moment, aſked Emily, by what means ſhe had diſcovered her name?
mdp.39015013472033	Then, turning to Ludovico, he aſked him with a ſerious air, whether he thought his courage would ſupport him through the night?
mdp.39015013472033	Was not that the veſper- bell? ”"No,"replied Frances, “ the evening ſervice is paſſed.

hvd.hwra7h	Ca n't you remember? ” “ No, no. ”Did you drink anything?"
hvd.hwra7h	Do you hear? ” asked the baron, in a whis- per. hvd.hwra7h Follow me. ” “ Into that dark passage? ” “ Are you afraid?".
hvd.hwra7h	Follow me. ” “ Into that dark passage? ” “ Are you afraid?.
hvd.hwra7h	Have you a telephone, monsieur? ”. hvd.hwra7h Here. ”"GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 189 any way?
hvd.hwra7h	In his cell? ” “ Yes. hvd.hwra7h No window? ” “ Yes, but it is closed up."
hvd.hwra7h	Proof? hvd.hwra7h The two brothers live together — rue de Provence, I think. ” “ Do you know any reason why he should commit suicide? ” “ None."
hvd.hwra7h	Then you think he will arrest Arsène Lupin?
hvd.hwra7h	Was it not you who found the hiding- place? hvd.hwra7h Was it you who brought me here? ” “ I?
hvd.hwra7h	Was it you who brought me here? ” “ I? hvd.hwra7h Well, what has that to do with me?".
hvd.hwra7h	Well?
hvd.hwra7h	Well?'' hvd.hwra7h What?"
hvd.hwra7h	Where?
hvd.hwra7h	.. On the other hand, it is true"“ What is true? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hwra7h	... From twelve to six- teen means from twelve to four o'clock. ” “ But this H- P, that will wait?"
hvd.hwra7h	..."“ How do you know? ” I asked.
hvd.hwra7h	178 ARSÈNE LUPIN “ What do you know about it? ” said Daspry to me.
hvd.hwra7h	206 ARSÈNE LUPIN “ They are hidden in this room. ” “ In that case, you know where they are. ” “ How should I know?".
hvd.hwra7h	24 ARSÈNE LUPIN “ Yes,"said Miss Nelly, aloud,"who can it be?"
hvd.hwra7h	52 ARSÈNE LUPIN “ Why so?
hvd.hwra7h	6.Well?"
hvd.hwra7h	6.What key?!
hvd.hwra7h	6.What proof is there of that?"
hvd.hwra7h	And how did they leave it?
hvd.hwra7h	And how?
hvd.hwra7h	And now you are here? ” “ It is I, always I, only I."
hvd.hwra7h	And then, was she not closely watched?
hvd.hwra7h	And where will he hide?"
hvd.hwra7h	And who does not remember the catas- trophe in which all that wealth was swallowed up?
hvd.hwra7h	And who would believe that ab- surd story about the guilty child?
hvd.hwra7h	And why did you have my brother and me tracked like wild beasts? ” “ To recover the plans. ” “ Nonsense!
hvd.hwra7h	And why had they sent them?
hvd.hwra7h	And you, my dear? ” “ I shall stay and finish. ” “ Finish!
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt at home?
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt know it?"
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt's card; it is he who now holds the correspondence and the evi- dence of the treachery of the Varin brothers. ” “ Who is he?"
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt, said: “ Yes or no?"
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt?
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt?"
hvd.hwra7h	Andermatt?''
hvd.hwra7h	Another question suggested itself: Had the substitution been arranged in advance?
hvd.hwra7h	Appearance?
hvd.hwra7h	Are all the facts re- lated by you quite correct? ” “ Absolutely so."
hvd.hwra7h	Are they destroyed?
hvd.hwra7h	Are they not evidence of her com- plicity?"
hvd.hwra7h	Are you sure of your servants? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	Are you will- ing?"
hvd.hwra7h	At that moment, a voice inquired: “ Doctor Harel.... what floor? ” “ Third floor, left.
hvd.hwra7h	B..... Who the devil can that be?....
hvd.hwra7h	Berlat, a friend of my husband. ” The commissary asked: “ But where is Arsène Lupin?"
hvd.hwra7h	Besides, was it not his obvious intention and desire to be recognized as such?
hvd.hwra7h	Besides, was there not, in my present situation, something startlirg and mysterious, calculated to dis- turb the most courageous spirit?
hvd.hwra7h	But GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 137 erar nobody knew that it was hidden in that cab- inet. ” “ No one? ” “ No one.
hvd.hwra7h	But a connection of what nature?
hvd.hwra7h	But for what purpose did he reveal them?
hvd.hwra7h	But how did I make his acquaintance?
hvd.hwra7h	But of what did it consist?
hvd.hwra7h	But the judge proceeded: “ Baudru, Désiré?
hvd.hwra7h	But the lady?
hvd.hwra7h	But the two brothers still defied him? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	But then, by what miracle had such a GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 89 plan, based on a series of improbable chances, been carried to success?
hvd.hwra7h	But was not that sufficient to af- firm that I had not been the plaything of a dream?
hvd.hwra7h	But what 156 ARSÈNE LUPIN do you think has become of this young man, this model son?
hvd.hwra7h	But what of that?
hvd.hwra7h	But where?
hvd.hwra7h	But who is the detective whose name and fame served as a magnet to attract the baron and draw him into your net? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	But why?"
hvd.hwra7h	But, for the moment, a more immediate and more serious question troubled me: How would this affair end?
hvd.hwra7h	But, in the centre of the wardrobe- room, being seized by some sudden fear, you leaned against the wall for support. ” “ How do you know that?
hvd.hwra7h	But, where the devil had I seen that face before?
hvd.hwra7h	CHAPTER VI THE SEVEN OF HEARTS AM frequently asked this question: “ How did you make the acquaintance CD of Arsène Lupin?"
hvd.hwra7h	Could a connection be estab- lished between the name of the sub- marine and the incidents which we have related?
hvd.hwra7h	Could it be possible that the black pearl had been cast into the mud and filth of the gutter to be picked up by the first comer?
hvd.hwra7h	Daspry observed it; he paced to and fro for a moment, then, turning to her, asked: “ Had you written to Louis Lacombe? ” “ Of course.
hvd.hwra7h	Devanne questioned the chauffeur: “ Edouard, who gave you orders to come here?"
hvd.hwra7h	Did I pursue my rôle of parlor- magician a step too far? ” She controlled herself, and replied, with her accustomed ease: “ Not at all, monsieur.
hvd.hwra7h	Did Louis Lacombe carry they away?
hvd.hwra7h	Did he have another key?
hvd.hwra7h	Did he succeed?
hvd.hwra7h	Did they fear that their title to them would be called in question?
hvd.hwra7h	Did they hide it?
hvd.hwra7h	Did you meet him?"
hvd.hwra7h	Did you write other letters?'.
hvd.hwra7h	Do I, Arsène Lupin, ever waste my time on such puerilities?
hvd.hwra7h	Do you blame me? ” “ I understand.
hvd.hwra7h	Do you know the part I played in that affair, or rather the part they made me play?
hvd.hwra7h	Do you pretend to say that we are trying the wrong man? ” “ In my opinion, yes.
hvd.hwra7h	Do you think that this man had the same feeling? ” “ I have no doubt that the mounting still exists.
hvd.hwra7h	Does anyone know him?"
hvd.hwra7h	Does he appear more gloomy, more anxious? ” “ No, I have n't noticed any change."
hvd.hwra7h	Dudouis know my business better than I do myself?
hvd.hwra7h	Every morning the Préfet of Police asked his secretary: “ Well, has he escaped yet? ” “ No, Monsieur le Préfet. ”.
hvd.hwra7h	For instance: What caused their flight?
hvd.hwra7h	From time to time I strike upon a golden opportunity- such as your case presents. ” “ My case? ” “ Yes, yours.
hvd.hwra7h	GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 287 park were filled with people, and at the very moment when the officers of the law were pursuing their investigations?
hvd.hwra7h	GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 305 “ Yours?
hvd.hwra7h	GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR “ What is to- morrow? ” “ The robbery!
hvd.hwra7h	Had he been enticed away by Arsène Lupin?
hvd.hwra7h	Had the guards made a mistake?
hvd.hwra7h	Had they been deceived by the resemblance and care- lessly substituted this man for their pris- oner?
hvd.hwra7h	Has monsieur arrived? ” Why that mysterious appellation?
hvd.hwra7h	Has monsieur arrived? ” Why that mysterious appellation?
hvd.hwra7h	Have we not convincing evidence of that fact?
hvd.hwra7h	He is a modern cracksman, right up to date. ”"And how would you proceed?"
hvd.hwra7h	He murmured, faintly: “ When must I give it to you? ” “ To- night- within an hour."
hvd.hwra7h	He ordered a bock and GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 75"Is this the prison de la Santé? ”'“ Yes."
hvd.hwra7h	He walked to and fro for a few minutes, then, stopping in front of Ganimard, he said:"You have nothing more to say, I sup- pose? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwra7h	Help him. ” “ How? ” “ Has your husband the document that completes the plans of Louis Lacombe? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hwra7h	Help him. ” “ How? ” “ Has your husband the document that completes the plans of Louis Lacombe? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hwra7h	His portrait?
hvd.hwra7h	How can I describe him?
hvd.hwra7h	How can I serve you, Gani- mard? ” “ Must I explain to you what steps the au- thorities have taken in the matter? ” “ Not at all.
hvd.hwra7h	How can I serve you, Gani- mard? ” “ Must I explain to you what steps the au- thorities have taken in the matter? ” “ Not at all.
hvd.hwra7h	How could anyone enter, and, more- over, how could anyone escape, leaving behind him a bolted door and a fastened window?"
hvd.hwra7h	How could he have acquired that information concerning things that no one had ever seen?
hvd.hwra7h	How dare you ask such a thing?"
hvd.hwra7h	How did she know the way?
hvd.hwra7h	How did they acquire such possession?
hvd.hwra7h	How did they gain access to the cas- tle?
hvd.hwra7h	How did those papers come into your possession? ” “ I have already told you, Mon.
hvd.hwra7h	How do you know it?"
hvd.hwra7h	How is it that no one has ever solved the mystery?"
hvd.hwra7h	How much time do you re- quire?"
hvd.hwra7h	How much?
hvd.hwra7h	I ask you your name? ” A thick, slow voice muttered: “ Baudru, Désiré. ” A murmur of surprise pervaded the court- room.
hvd.hwra7h	I assure you it is a most promising affair, provided you are inclined to be reasonable. ” “ But if I am not reasonable? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hwra7h	I could n't allow poor Baudru Désiré to be convicted. ” “ Then, ” murmured Ganimard, “ it was you that was there?
hvd.hwra7h	I forget what it was. ”"Where does he live?"
hvd.hwra7h	I may say that that is his expectation. ” “ But Arsène Lupin will remain?''
hvd.hwra7h	I should like to know---"“ What is it?"
hvd.hwra7h	I simply describe the events as they must have occurred. ” “ But what do you know about them? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	I warn you-"“ I say, you shall not go.?!
hvd.hwra7h	If I am wrong, excuse me, and accept my sincere thanks for your past favors...."What did the letter mean?
hvd.hwra7h	In the absence of that material and conclu- sive proof, I had nothing to fear; but would Miss Nelly decide to furnish that proof?
hvd.hwra7h	In the first place, let me ask, do you find the problem a complicated one?"
hvd.hwra7h	In the little room used by Henriette as a kitchen, were there not some shelves against the wall on which she placed her pans and dishes?"
hvd.hwra7h	Is it possible that the thief may have passed through your room? ” She laughed heartily, never supposing that she could be an object of suspicion.
hvd.hwra7h	Is that all you wish to ask me? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	Is that nothing?"
hvd.hwra7h	It is quite impossible for you to sell it; so what is the use of your keeping it? ” “ There are pawnbrokers.
hvd.hwra7h	It was n't you?
hvd.hwra7h	Let me see.... have I had sufifi- 240 ARSÈNE LUPIN cient time to rouse the doctor and be dis- missed by him?
hvd.hwra7h	Lupin foresaw even that the wheels would require oiling. ” “ Did he know about the other entrance? ” “ As well as I know it, ” said Holmes.
hvd.hwra7h	May I ask yours? ” “ Certainly, monsieur. ” And he handed Mon.
hvd.hwra7h	My husband had business with him"“ Apart from those business letters, had you written to Louis Lacombe.... other letters?
hvd.hwra7h	My husband was afraid.... of a scandal. ” “ But he has tried to recover the letters?"
hvd.hwra7h	No importance? ” cried the judge.
hvd.hwra7h	No one could 258 ARSÈNE LUPIN and hundreds of thousands and get nothing in return? ” “ You will get your life.
hvd.hwra7h	No, rather weakness, a total in- ability to move any portion of my body, com- bined with discretion; for why should I strug- gle?
hvd.hwra7h	Not the least sus- picion?
hvd.hwra7h	Nothing?"
hvd.hwra7h	Now, climb up.... All the letters are in relief, are n't they?".
hvd.hwra7h	Now, whence came those two thousand francs?
hvd.hwra7h	One word: yes or no?"
hvd.hwra7h	Or was he satisfied to let these two adversaries fight it out between themselves?
hvd.hwra7h	Our eyes met, and I read in hers so much anxiety and fear that I could not refrain from speak- ing to her: “ Are you ill, madame?
hvd.hwra7h	Private business transacted. ” Victor shuddered as he said: “ You are connected with the police?".
hvd.hwra7h	Provoke a scandal?
hvd.hwra7h	Ring?
hvd.hwra7h	Shall I open the window? ” Her only reply was a gesture indicating that she was afraid of our companion.
hvd.hwra7h	Shall I tell you how they came there? ”"Well!
hvd.hwra7h	Should I rise and seize my revolver?
hvd.hwra7h	Should I risk my life to save a few tapestries and bibelots?
hvd.hwra7h	Simple, is n't it? ” “ Marvelous!
hvd.hwra7h	Tell me, monsieur, did they count on that? ” He shrugged his shoulders, and added: “ I beg of you, monsieur, not to worry about me.
hvd.hwra7h	That candlestick, that clock; why were those articles not in their accus- tomed places?
hvd.hwra7h	The card bore these words: “ Georges Andermatt, 37 Rue de Berry. ” What did that mean?
hvd.hwra7h	The count spoke at last, and said: “ Who are you, monsieur? ” “ I?
hvd.hwra7h	The count spoke at last, and said: “ Who are you, monsieur? ” “ I?
hvd.hwra7h	The foreign securities or the gov- ernment annuities? ” GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 229 will tell monsieur.
hvd.hwra7h	The four or five millions? ” “ Yes, counterfeit! ” he exclaimed, in a fit of rage.
hvd.hwra7h	The latter turned to the banker, and asked: “ Is the check ready, Monsieur Ander- matt?"
hvd.hwra7h	The locks on the doors?
hvd.hwra7h	The man whispered to Lupin: “ What am I to do now?"
hvd.hwra7h	The money?"
hvd.hwra7h	The question is: How did Danègre leave the apartment?
hvd.hwra7h	The various incidents, which I shall record in writing at a later day, have established be- tween us certain ties.... shall I say of friend- ship?
hvd.hwra7h	Then he rose, and asked: “ Had the prisoner finished his breakfast?"
hvd.hwra7h	Then the other said: “ But you are not going to throw up the scheme?"
hvd.hwra7h	Then, gazing into my eyes, he said: “ Arsène Lupin, is it not?"
hvd.hwra7h	Then, in his anxiety and fear, the simple man will ask the assistance of the first- comer, will he not? ” “ Very likely."
hvd.hwra7h	Then, my God, who was Arsène Lupin?
hvd.hwra7h	These are the genuine letters. ” “ But.... the others? ” “ The others are the same, rewritten by me and carefully worded.
hvd.hwra7h	These auto- suggestions are frequently more imperious than the most positive reali- ties; but why should I struggle against them?
hvd.hwra7h	They have been gone for some time. ” “ Where did they go? ”"To the entrance of the tunnel.
hvd.hwra7h	Those bonds were false — they were counterfeit- every one of them — do you understand?
hvd.hwra7h	Those letters?
hvd.hwra7h	To what do I owe the honor of this visit? ” “ The Cahorn affair, ” declared Ganimard, frankly.
hvd.hwra7h	To whom did the tele- gram point, if it were not Rozaine?
hvd.hwra7h	Under what name, under what disguise was the famous Arsène Lupin con- cealing himself?
hvd.hwra7h	Unmask the man who had once robbed him?
hvd.hwra7h	Velmont?
hvd.hwra7h	Was fortune going to turn against me?
hvd.hwra7h	Was he going to throw himself upon the track?
hvd.hwra7h	Was he not a necessary party at this confer- ence?
hvd.hwra7h	Was it cowardice?
hvd.hwra7h	Was it not with premeditation and by means of an ingenious ruse that his pretended imbecile had sepa- rated him from his assistants?
hvd.hwra7h	Was that to conceal his agitation or, simply, to arrange himself for sleep?
hvd.hwra7h	We supposed him capable of assuming the most unexpected dis- GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR and Miss Nelly closer to each other?
hvd.hwra7h	Well, and what about the twenty agents of the Sûreté who accompanied us on foot, in fiacres ARSÈNE LUPIN and on bicycles?
hvd.hwra7h	Were not Daspry and Salvator the same person?
hvd.hwra7h	Were they prepared as a code for correspond- ence, or did they simply express the studious character of the reader?
hvd.hwra7h	What action would he take against the audacious guest?
hvd.hwra7h	What am I to do? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	What are they doing?
hvd.hwra7h	What bonds should we sell?
hvd.hwra7h	What did they do with it?
hvd.hwra7h	What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hwra7h	What do you mean?
hvd.hwra7h	What do you mean?
hvd.hwra7h	What for? ” “ To wait for you, monsieur, and your friend."
hvd.hwra7h	What frightful secret had been revealed to him?
hvd.hwra7h	What further proof do you want? ” “ I must remain alone in this room."
hvd.hwra7h	What had happened?
hvd.hwra7h	What had he seen?
hvd.hwra7h	What haunting fear compressed my throat?
hvd.hwra7h	What im- portance do they bear?
hvd.hwra7h	What is he in prison for? ” Two of the prison- guards were called and both of them declared that the prisoner was Arsène Lupin.
hvd.hwra7h	What more can I do?
hvd.hwra7h	What mystery surrounded the life of the so- called Floriani?
hvd.hwra7h	What use were the most formidable obstacles or the most careful precautions, if Arsène Lupin had decided to effect an en- trance?
hvd.hwra7h	What was I to do?
hvd.hwra7h	What was at the bottom of this proposi- tion?
hvd.hwra7h	What was that fact?
hvd.hwra7h	What was the man about to do?
hvd.hwra7h	What was the meaning of Lupin's reti- cence?
hvd.hwra7h	What were the intentions of my rascally com- panion?
hvd.hwra7h	What will he do?"
hvd.hwra7h	What would I have done without you?
hvd.hwra7h	What would be the outcome of this adventure?
hvd.hwra7h	What's the matter?"
hvd.hwra7h	What's the matter?"
hvd.hwra7h	What's your hurry? ” “ I am escorting mademoiselle. ” “ One moment,''he repeated, in a tone of authority.
hvd.hwra7h	When her husband en- tered, she asked: “ Are you going out?"
hvd.hwra7h	Where does he come from?
hvd.hwra7h	Where is it?"
hvd.hwra7h	Who can prove that they belong to me?".
hvd.hwra7h	Who could have put it in that place?
hvd.hwra7h	Who had ever seen such a key, and what had become of it?
hvd.hwra7h	Who had made the key, the indispensable key with- out which Danègre, on leaving the apartment, could not have locked the door behind him?
hvd.hwra7h	Who had seen the assassin's knife, and where is it now?
hvd.hwra7h	Who had sent them?
hvd.hwra7h	Who had stolen it?
hvd.hwra7h	Who prevented me?
hvd.hwra7h	Who told you that? ” Sherlock Holmes did not reply to the ques- tion, but continued his directions: “ Now, take the letter B.
hvd.hwra7h	Who was Ar- sène Lupin?
hvd.hwra7h	Who was this mysterious correspond- ent that dared to disturb the tranquillity of his retreat?
hvd.hwra7h	Who were they?"
hvd.hwra7h	Who were those GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR people?
hvd.hwra7h	Whose is it?
hvd.hwra7h	Why I, and not some one else?
hvd.hwra7h	Why could I not return it to the lady who had befriended me?
hvd.hwra7h	Why did I feel so depressed?
hvd.hwra7h	Why did he do it?
hvd.hwra7h	Why did they not take advantage of the help I unconsciously gave them?
hvd.hwra7h	Why did those moments appear so solemn and weird?
hvd.hwra7h	Why had he not reduced her to a helpless condition similar to mine?
hvd.hwra7h	Why not avoid the danger of a personality that is ever the 28 ARSÈNE LUPIN same?
hvd.hwra7h	Why was I selected to be his historiographer?
hvd.hwra7h	Why was Salvator not there?
hvd.hwra7h	Why, then, this letter of thanks?
hvd.hwra7h	Will that be enough? ” The detective, after a moment's reflection, said: “ Very well.
hvd.hwra7h	Will you stick to it?"
hvd.hwra7h	Would I have written that let- ter if I could have robbed the baron without writing to him?
hvd.hwra7h	Would she betray me?
hvd.hwra7h	Yes, but what about my thief?
hvd.hwra7h	Yet I could not refrain from asking myself: What rôle will they play in the drama?
hvd.hwra7h	Yet, to avoid that shameful dénouement, what could I do- bound and gagged, as I was?
hvd.hwra7h	You have the papers? ” “ Here they are all of them. ” Daspry examined them carefully, and then placed them in his pocket.
hvd.hwra7h	Your name, age, and occupation? ” Not receiving any reply, the judge re- peated: “ Your name?
hvd.hwra7h	Your name, age, and occupation? ” Not receiving any reply, the judge re- peated: “ Your name?
hvd.hwra7h	Your name?"
hvd.hwra7h	did you imagine that a Monsieur Durand or Dupont could manage an affair like this?
hvd.hwra7h	he has a brother? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	mine?
hvd.hwra7h	my dear monsieur, do you suppose I am going to rot upon the wet straw?
hvd.hwra7h	my good fellow, you are not in a position to refuse me anything I may ask. ” “ What is it.... you want?"
hvd.hwra7h	over you, also? ” “ Over me, in particular."
hvd.hwra7h	the telegram? ”"All mine.
hvd.hwra7h	what had happened in the dread silence of the night?
hvd.hwra7h	what is that?
hvd.hwra7h	what now? ” demanded his com- panion.
hvd.hwra7h	where was it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ An idea that I have. ” “ What is it?'.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And he did not denounce them? ” “ No."
hvd.hwra7h	“ And if it is not there? ” he said to Victor.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And that is? ” “ Arsène Lupin's personal enemy — the most illustrious Ganimard. ”"17"“ Yourself, Ganimard.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And the black pearl? ” he murmured.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And the letters? ” “ Written by me."
hvd.hwra7h	“ And the mysterious correspondent? ” “ Did not exist."
hvd.hwra7h	“ And the necklace? ” said the count.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And those letters came into the posses- sion of the Varin brothers? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hwra7h	“ And you allowed him to escape? ”'“ Of course I did.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And you have also the last document that you received from Louis Lacombe- the one that completes the plans of the sub- marine?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ And you knew it was Horace Velmont-- I mean, Arsène Lupin? ”_ 306 ARSÈNE LUPIN “ That is right.
hvd.hwra7h	“ And you- are you going away?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ And your prison- van?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Are you sure that those shelves are really fastened to the wooden brackets that support them?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Are you sure? ” “ Who is this woman Henriette? ” asked Mon.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Are you sure? ” “ Who is this woman Henriette? ” asked Mon.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Because there was something else in the satchel- something besides the papers of Louis Lacombe. ” “ What was it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ But how?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ But the vestibule door?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ But why this card? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	“ But you have not the wound? ” said Miss Nelly, naïvely.
hvd.hwra7h	“ But you must go — you must escape! ” “ Why should I go? ” “ Because — you must.
hvd.hwra7h	“ But you must have seen some one?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ But you, patron?".
hvd.hwra7h	“ But-"“ But what? ”"The two checks?
hvd.hwra7h	“ But-"“ But what? ”"The two checks?
hvd.hwra7h	“ By whom?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Can it be pos- sible? ” He leaned over them and, in turn, exam- ined them closely.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Can it be possible?!
hvd.hwra7h	“ Can that be the man's name? ” I asked.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Come in, Monsieur Lupin, come in, ” cried Madame Imbert,"are you not at home here?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Do you think so?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Does that help you? ” she asked.
hvd.hwra7h	“ For me? ” “ Yes, it is addressed: Sherlock Holmes, from Arsène Lupin."
hvd.hwra7h	“ From whose pocket did that come? ” asked Ganimard.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Ganimard! ” “ What is it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Get out of here?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Good God! ” she exclaimed, “ it ca n't be possible! ” “ And you have no idea?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Have you seen him? ” “ I met him a short time ago — on my way from the station."
hvd.hwra7h	“ He has eaten? ” “ Yes, ” replied the guard.
hvd.hwra7h	“ He leaped from the train, when passing through the tunnel. ” “ Are you sure that it was he? ” “ Am I sure!
hvd.hwra7h	“ Henriette?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Here already? ” said Daspry,"twenty minutes ahead of time!
hvd.hwra7h	“ How did you guess that? ” “ Quite easily.
hvd.hwra7h	“ How do you explain his disappearance? ” “ I can not explain it. ” “ And Mon.
hvd.hwra7h	“ How does that happen?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ How far is it down? ” he asked.
hvd.hwra7h	“ How?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ I ask only what is due me. ” “ Can you ask pay for returning papers that you stole?
hvd.hwra7h	“ If I refuse? ” “ If you refuse, I shall post this letter to the Procureur of the Republic; in which let.
hvd.hwra7h	“ If she had been an accomplice, would GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 153 she have thanked you for that money?
hvd.hwra7h	“ In an hour?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Is it money you want?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Is it you, monsieur, who lives here?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Is that all the evidence you have? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hwra7h	“ Is there nothing to show where it is?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ It is Ganimard. ” “ Ganimard? ” “ Yes, the celebrated detective who has sworn to capture Arsène Lupin.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Madame Andermatt is ill."He hastened to her, caused her to inhale some salts, and, while caring for her, ques- tioned me: “ Well, what did it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ My letter?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ My watch? ” “ Yes, it strayed into my pocket."
hvd.hwra7h	“ On what does this window open? ” “ A small inner court. ” “ And you have a floor above this?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ On what does this window open? ” “ A small inner court. ” “ And you have a floor above this?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ One thing more: your name? ” “ You ask that with an idea of seeking re- venge."
hvd.hwra7h	“ Out of that carafe? ”"Yes."
hvd.hwra7h	“ Should I make an assault upon the cas- tle at the head of a band of adventurers as they did in ancient times? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Something new?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Ten thousand. ” “ Monsieur Andermatt, are those letters worth ten thousand francs to you? ” “ Yes,"said the banker, firmly.
hvd.hwra7h	“ That would be foolish. ” “ Can I gain admittance by stealth or cun- ning? ” “ Impossible. ” “ Then there is only one way open to me.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Then what does this story mean?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Thirdly, he is blonde. ” “ Well?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ To Dieppe? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Unknown to your husband? ” “ Yes. ” GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 197 NE “ What do you think about it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Unknown to your husband? ” “ Yes. ” GENTLEMAN- BURGLAR 197 NE “ What do you think about it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Very complicated. ” “ Have you forgotten the key ve hold for the solution of the problem?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Was it there on the night of 22 June?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Was there a little casket in the large safe?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Well, then! ” exclaimed the judge, “ who is this man?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Well, what is it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Well, what of it? ” said the detective.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Well, where are you going, Varin? ” “ There is something about this affair I do n't like.
hvd.hwra7h	“ What about the time prior to those two months? ” “ Before that he occupied a cell in another part of the prison.
hvd.hwra7h	“ What did I tell you, Monsieur le Baron?
hvd.hwra7h	“ What do you think? ” “ I think it would be very interesting to have Ganimard and Rozaine in the same pic- ture.
hvd.hwra7h	“ What for? ”"To recover the black pearl. ” “ Black pearl?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ What for? ”"To recover the black pearl. ” “ Black pearl?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ What good will that do? ” “ Oh; it is well to try it.
hvd.hwra7h	“ What is it?''
hvd.hwra7h	“ What of it?
hvd.hwra7h	“ What of that?
hvd.hwra7h	“ What proof have you of that?''
hvd.hwra7h	“ What threat?
hvd.hwra7h	“ What?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Where are they, Varin? ” “ I have n't got them. ”.66Where are they, Varin?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Where are they, Varin? ” “ I have n't got them. ”.66Where are they, Varin?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Where, then? ” “ With Arsène Lupin. ” “ With Arsène Lupin!
hvd.hwra7h	“ Where?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Who can tell?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Why did you not appeal to the law? ” “ Why?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Why did you not appeal to the law? ” “ Why?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Why do I not answer? ” he said.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Why not?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Why so? ” “ Because, as you must know, the majority 158 ARSÈNE LUPIN of the diamonds were false.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Why, ” said he,"why should I retain a definite form and feature?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Yes, but for what purpose? ”"That is what we are going to find out. ” I led them to the large room.
hvd.hwra7h	“ Yes. ”"First, turn the letter I one way or the other. ” “ Which one?
hvd.hwra7h	“ Yes. ”"What did it contain?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ You had never communicated then to Horace Velmont? ”.
hvd.hwra7h	“ You have seen the shelves and the poker?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ You know him?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ You read it?"
hvd.hwra7h	“ Your check- book?
hvd.hnp94k	Did n't give you any hint as to what was in it? ” asked Rathbury.. “ None. hvd.hnp94k Have you seen anything of Mr. Elphick this morning? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Perhaps his scheme does n't fit in with yours, Mr. Spargo? hvd.hnp94k There! — what did I tell you? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	Well, but had n't the dead boy any relatives on his father's side? ” asked Spargo. hvd.hnp94k Well?"
hvd.hnp94k	What is it, Rawlins? ” he asked. hvd.hnp94k Where did you transact your business with him? ” “ Well, we met, now and then. ” “ Where?
hvd.hnp94k	Where did you transact your business with him? ” “ Well, we met, now and then. ” “ Where? hvd.hnp94k Who?"
hvd.hnp94k	'Aye?'
hvd.hnp94k	'No matter,'he says, “ I daresay there are lots of men in your line of trade- perhaps you can recommend me to a good firm?'
hvd.hnp94k	-“You see that? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	106 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ At what address? ” For some moments Aylmore had been growing more and more restive.
hvd.hnp94k	120 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ Then — to reiterate — it was you who took Marbury into the Temple that night? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	272 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ And where do you live, and what do you do? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	: “ Not there?
hvd.hnp94k	About- in fact, about his leather box. ” “ His leather box? ” said Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	Al- ways about the same time, sir. ” “ What time? ” “ Just about midnight, sir."
hvd.hnp94k	Also he writes a bit-I have accepted two or three articles of his for our literary page. ”"Well?"
hvd.hnp94k	And I think you can help me. ” “ How do you know that it is a murder case? ” asked Breton quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	And Marbury himself, sir, now?
hvd.hnp94k	And do you happen to be able to tell me the old cove's name and his address, Mollison? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	And for that very reason there's a theory about him in this very town to this very day! ” “ What? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	And how did you come to recognize Mr. Aylmore, Member of Parlia- ment? ” “ Well, sir, in this way.
hvd.hnp94k	And how much did he give you for it? ”'asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	And how was it put on you? ” Mollison grinned again and rubbed his chin.
hvd.hnp94k	And it was all no good, Spargo! ” “ He wo n't say anything? ” “ He'll say no more.
hvd.hnp94k	And now — what name do you know him by? ” The man grew evidently more bewildered.
hvd.hnp94k	And that he came from Australia? ” “ That's so,"answered Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	And the old cove took a fancy to it, eh? ” “ Bought it there and then,"answered Mollison, with something very like a wink.
hvd.hnp94k	And the question for him, Spargo, was — what to do?
hvd.hnp94k	And then he brought a gentleman with him. ” “ Aye? ” said Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	And then he rushed up to this here gentleman, and laid his hand on his arm- sudden- like. ” “ And — the gentleman? ” asked Spargo, quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	And then peo- ple began to talk, and they said what some of them say to this very day! ” “ What's that? ”'asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	And this unfortunate man had Mr. Ronald Breton's name and address in his pocket? ” Spargo nodded.
hvd.hnp94k	And what have you to tell? ” Mr. Webster looked into the crown of his hat, looked out of it, and smiled knowingly.
hvd.hnp94k	And what might your name be, now, sir?
hvd.hnp94k	And when you come to think of it, why should they?
hvd.hnp94k	And when you had beaten the hearthrugs — what then? ” Mollison smiled his weak smile again.
hvd.hnp94k	And why wo n't Aylmore tell?
hvd.hnp94k	And you really think, sir, that John Maitland and John Marbury are one and the same person? ” “ I'm sure of it, now, ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	And you took the stick to him? ” “ I took it there and then, ” replied Mollison.
hvd.hnp94k	And, of course, I had him in my eye when I took the stick away — see? ” “ I see.
hvd.hnp94k	And- he has! ” “ Does Aylmore know that he's been identified? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Anybody would recognize him from that, perhaps you'd let our hall- porter and the waiter I men- tioned just now look at it? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Anything about this ticket, for instance? ” “ Old sporting man! ” exclaimed Crowfoot.
hvd.hnp94k	Anyway, his name and address are here, are n't they? ” “ Come along, ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Are n't you, now, Evelyn? ” Evelyn Aylmore looked at Spargo, and smiled quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	Are you com- ing? ” “ Yes, ” replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Are you going? ” 92 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ I shall certainly go,"answered Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	As things stand- look here, does it strike you that your father is in a very serious position? ” “ Serious? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	As things stand- look here, does it strike you that your father is in a very serious position? ” “ Serious? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	Aye — but who found him?
hvd.hnp94k	Bless me!—most interesting. ” “ Where's Market Milcaster? ” enquired Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Breton- where's the nearest telegraph office?
hvd.hnp94k	But I think"“ Well? ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	But I thought- I thought some- body else had it! ” “ And this man, sir?
hvd.hnp94k	But can we get a mouthful of bread and cheese and a glass of ale first? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	But how did Marbury get into the Temple, unobserved?
hvd.hnp94k	But where did Mr. Breton say you wished to be taken? ” “ Into the gallery of number seven court, ” said the younger girl promptly.
hvd.hnp94k	But where else did 89 90 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER he go?
hvd.hnp94k	But why off?
hvd.hnp94k	But you'll give me a little matter to put in my pocket, young man?
hvd.hnp94k	But — what are you doing here, Spargo? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	But — what is it? ” The five old men all glanced at each other and made simultaneous grunts.
hvd.hnp94k	But- has it ever struck you, Spargo, that somebody beside yourself may have been investigating? ”"Possible,"replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	By the by, how did you get to know the Aylmores? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	By the by, when did he die, Miss Baylis? ” But Miss Baylis was going on again to the house.
hvd.hnp94k	Can you wait a bit?
hvd.hnp94k	Consequently, as you see, to be the holder of a silver ticket was to be somebody. ” “ And when the race- meeting fell through? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Could you recognize him- I mean, a photograph of him?
hvd.hnp94k	Criedir? ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Dead- ain't he?"
hvd.hnp94k	Dear me — dear me!-and you really believe that Chamberlayne is actually alive, Mr. Spargo? ” Spargo pulled out his watch.
hvd.hnp94k	Did Marbury say he'd call on Cardle- stone? ” “ He did.
hvd.hnp94k	Did Marbury tell you anything about the contents of the box? ” “ No.
hvd.hnp94k	Did he take the boy? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Did n't you introduce me to his daughters- only yesterday?"
hvd.hnp94k	Did you ever see him after he left prison?"
hvd.hnp94k	Did you see anything of his money, now, ma'am? ” he asked, suddenly turning to Mrs. Walters.
hvd.hnp94k	Did you see him? ” “ Just, ” replied the landlady.
hvd.hnp94k	Did you then leave England soon after knowing Marbury? ”"I did.
hvd.hnp94k	Do I understand that you never see Mr. Anderson except at night? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hnp94k	Do n't you see that Aylmore's ca- reer, previous to his return to England, is a blank past? ” “ I know- I know! ” said Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Do you recol- lect anything of anybody like Aylmore coming here to see Maitland, Mr. Quarterpage? ” “ I do n't, ” answered Mr. Quarterpage.
hvd.hnp94k	Do you remember the midnight of June 21st-22nd? ” “ I do, sir."
hvd.hnp94k	Do you see? ” “ I suppose that was possible, ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Do you wish any reply I may give you for publication? ” “ Not without your permission, ” replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Do you? ” Spargo sent a spiral of scented smoke into the air.
hvd.hnp94k	Eh? ” Before Spargo could reply to this suggestion an of- ficial entered the room and whispered a few words in the detective's ear.
hvd.hnp94k	Eh? ” Rathbury looked up.
hvd.hnp94k	Eh? ” THE SILVER TICKET 127 “ You think- people will say that? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	Eh? ” THE SILVER TICKET 127 “ You think- people will say that? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	Eh? ” “ And you think Mr. Aylmore can tell? ” asked Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Eh? ” “ And you think Mr. Aylmore can tell? ” asked Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Elphick still interesting himself in the Mar- bury case? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Gentlemen, I appeal to you if this is not the most ex- traordinary event that has happened in Market Milcaster for — I do n't know how many years?"
hvd.hnp94k	Going straight through with it now, I sup- pose, Mr. Spargo? ” Spargo dropped into the chair nearest to Rathbury's right hand.
hvd.hnp94k	Going to join'em, I reckon, sir? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Good! ” “ What are you going to do about it? ” asked Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Had n't he got an address in the Temple?
hvd.hnp94k	Had you dealings with him?"
hvd.hnp94k	Has anything more been discovered, young man? ” Spargo tried a chance shot- at what he did not know.
hvd.hnp94k	Have you any relations in England?"
hvd.hnp94k	He asks — why?
hvd.hnp94k	He certainly never came back. ”"That, ” observed Rathbury with a quiet smile, “ that is quite certain, ma'am?
hvd.hnp94k	He got inter- ested in this Chamberlayne case, and he began to make enquiries with the idea of getting hold of some good- what do you call it? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	He might have had nothing on him, eh? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	He talked a bit- said he'd just landed at Southampton from Melbourne. ” “ Did he mention his ship? ” asked Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	He was carrying a little box--"“ What sort of box? ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	He went out at half- past eleven. ” “ And the other gentleman?"
hvd.hnp94k	He"“ What time- exact time? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	He'd — but what's the use of enumeration in this case? ” “ A mere piling up of platitudes,"answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	He's certainly a good hand at playing the innocent game. ” “ And of what was he convicted?".
hvd.hnp94k	Help to write that piece in the paper, eh? ” Spargo hesitated.
hvd.hnp94k	How did he strike you? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	How else can you explain his presence in the Temple?
hvd.hnp94k	How should I get it in this town if I'm a stranger? ” “ Quite true, quite true! ” murmured Mr. Quarter- page.
hvd.hnp94k	How was he going to set about this difficult task?
hvd.hnp94k	I could swear no other, sir. ” “ Can you tell us, as near as possible, what time that would be? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnp94k	I met him in Fleet Street and told him. ” “ Had he received a call from Marbury? ” “ No!
hvd.hnp94k	I say, do have some more tea- cake?
hvd.hnp94k	I see there is a shorthand writer here who is taking everything down- ask him if that is not exactly what I said? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	I suppose you'll be doing a special account yourself, for your paper, eh?
hvd.hnp94k	I thought- now, where did Maitland, or Marbury, know or meet Aylmore twenty or twenty- two years ago?
hvd.hnp94k	I told you I'd sent a man to Fiskie's, the hatter?
hvd.hnp94k	I was figuring on my next step, and"“ Do you see it? ” asked Spargo, quickly.
hvd.hnp94k	I went to it often when I was a lad- often! ” “ And you say that's a ticket for the stand? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	I'm sure you've heard all about what's known as the Middle Temple Murder- the Marbury case? ” “ Yes, I've read of it, ” replied Mr. Quarterpage.
hvd.hnp94k	If he made an appointment for eleven?
hvd.hnp94k	In that case, the opening will be made early tomorrow morning. ” “ Shall you go? ” asked Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Is it anything I can tell her? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Is the tea all right? ” “ Beautiful! ” she answered, with a smile that made Spargo look at her again.
hvd.hnp94k	Is there the slightest clue that will fasten the guilt on anybody else? ” Spargo gave no answer to these questions.
hvd.hnp94k	Is this the man? ” Spargo knew from the expression of Mrs. Walters'face that she had no more doubt than Webster had.
hvd.hnp94k	It was an acquaintanceship of some time ago? ” began the suave, seemingly careless voice.
hvd.hnp94k	It was true. ” “ True?
hvd.hnp94k	Jane Baylis said good- night, and she and I left Cardlestone and the man together. ” “ No one had recognized him? ” said Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Just somand Mrs. Walters, I pre- sume?"
hvd.hnp94k	Look here, Breton,"he continued, aloud, “ have you access to Aylmore?
hvd.hnp94k	Look here, are you going to start your writing just now? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Look there, now?"
hvd.hnp94k	Lying dead- in the third entry down Middle Temple Lane?
hvd.hnp94k	No difficulty in recognizing of that, Mr. Spargo. ” “ You're absolutely sure? ” demanded Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Nothing doing in this town, then? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Now then, what will you bet on the chances of this chap's information proving valuable?"
hvd.hnp94k	Now, Mr. Elphick, can I come to see you tomorrow morning? ” “ Yes, yes, tomorrow morning! ” replied Elphick eagerly.
hvd.hnp94k	Now, if you were on our house committee, Spargo, old man, would you go in for the wine- cooler or the ventilat- ing fan?
hvd.hnp94k	Now, look here, between ourselves, how much do you know about your father's — past? ” The two sisters looked at each other and then at Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Now, the question is- Do we go straight there, or do we put up for the night?
hvd.hnp94k	Now, then, may I ask you a question or two? ” “ A thousand! ” responded Mr. Criedir with great geniality.
hvd.hnp94k	Now, where did Aylmore know him?
hvd.hnp94k	Now- but wo n't you take down what I've got to tell you? ” “ I am taking it down, ” answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Oh, he knows all right! ” “ And what did he say?"
hvd.hnp94k	Oh, there's no doubt of it, sir! ” “ And supposing you saw a photograph of the tall gentleman with the grey beard? ” suggested Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Perhaps you'll have to save your father from the consequences of his own- shall we say obstinacy?
hvd.hnp94k	Plain story you see, Spargo, when it all comes out, eh? ” “ All stories are quite plain — when they come out,"observed Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Portrait of a baby, eh? ” Spargo gave, what might have been called in anybody else but him, a casual glance at the baby's portrait.
hvd.hnp94k	Quarterpage, ” said Spargo, “ what's your own honest opinion? ” The old gentleman smiled.
hvd.hnp94k	Really? ” “ No doubt, to my mind.
hvd.hnp94k	Said he'd call as soon as he could- that day. ”"Have you told Cardlestone what you've just told me?'
hvd.hnp94k	See? ” Ronald Breton took the scrap of paper and looked at it with knitted brows.
hvd.hnp94k	So it was you who took that queer- looking stick out of Mr. Aylmore's rooms in Fountain Court, was it?"
hvd.hnp94k	So there?"
hvd.hnp94k	So this was in the dead man's pocket? ”"Found in a hole in his pocket, I understand: I was n't present myself.
hvd.hnp94k	Somebody'll identify him. ” “ You say he was murdered? ” said Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Something?
hvd.hnp94k	Soyou un- derstand? ” Myerst regarded Spargo in a new light.
hvd.hnp94k	Spargo? ” she said in a deep voice which seemed peculiarly suited to her.
hvd.hnp94k	That will do? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	The fact is — I suppose you want this for your paper, eh? ” he continued after a sudden breaking off.
hvd.hnp94k	The third entry, eh? ” “ Yes,"replied Spargo, simply.
hvd.hnp94k	Then I suppose Maitland did not stop long with you? ” Miss Baylis laughed her scornful laugh.
hvd.hnp94k	Then, I take it, you were very well known to each other twenty or twenty- two years ago? ” “ We wereyes, well known to each other."
hvd.hnp94k	There's no room for any false bottom or anything of that sort, d'you see? ” Rathbury also sized up the box's capacity.
hvd.hnp94k	Therefore, I can not make out how this young gentleman- from Lon- don, did you say, sir? ” “ From London, ” answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	They already know that he knows more about Marbury than he'll tell, that- “ But does he? ” she interrupted quickly.
hvd.hnp94k	They were going east- ward, then? ” “ They were walking by the way I'd come."
hvd.hnp94k	Think you can stick it?'
hvd.hnp94k	To keep as a curiosity, I suppose? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	To whom did he speak?
hvd.hnp94k	Unexpected?
hvd.hnp94k	Unless Miss Baylis has. ” “ Where does this Miss Baylis live? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Upon THE FINAL TELEGRAM 817 my honour, we did n't know him, either that night or next day! ” “ What happened when he came in?"
hvd.hnp94k	WITNESS TO A MEETING “ How do you do, sir? ” said Spargo, pointing a finger to one of the easy- chairs for which the Watchman office is famous.
hvd.hnp94k	Walters?
hvd.hnp94k	Want him?"
hvd.hnp94k	Was he a member of that institution? ” “ Not that I know of."
hvd.hnp94k	Was n't he found lying dead at the foot of Cardlestone's stairs?
hvd.hnp94k	Was n't he in the Temple?
hvd.hnp94k	We examined them in his room. ”"What did he do with them- afterwards? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	We have 276 278 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ You think my father was worked upon by this man Chamberlayne, sir?"
hvd.hnp94k	We want to solve the important ques- tion — who is, who was John Marbury, and how did he come by his death?
hvd.hnp94k	Well, Mollison- what about the stick? ” of the sticlandº Mollison looked round at the door, and then at the windows, and then at Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	Well, the best of thanks, Crowfoot, and I'll tell you all about it some day. ” “ Have another drink? ” suggested Crowfoot.
hvd.hnp94k	Well- anything come of your jaunt westward? ” “ Yes, ” replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Well- now how much is he mixed up? ” And he turned to the witness- box and from that mo- ment never took his eyes off the man who now stood in it.
hvd.hnp94k	What are you going to do next, Spargo? ” “ Seek out that Miss Baylis,"replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	What can it be? ” “ Do n't know- I never saw anything of the sort either, ” said Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	What did he do?
hvd.hnp94k	What do you say, Jim? ” The other policeman coughed.
hvd.hnp94k	What do you think of all that, Mr. Spargo? ” “ I think,"answered Spargo,"that Market Milcaster folk are considerably slow.
hvd.hnp94k	What place, office, resort? ” “ I ca n't remember particular places.
hvd.hnp94k	What was his name when you knew him at that time? ” “ His name?
hvd.hnp94k	What was his name when you knew him at that time? ” “ His name?
hvd.hnp94k	What was your business before you left England? ” “ I was interested in financial affairs. ”"Like Marbury.
hvd.hnp94k	What'll be done with those papers?"
hvd.hnp94k	What's he like, this man? ” Rathbury glanced at a clock which stood on the man- telpiece.
hvd.hnp94k	What's yours? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	What?"
hvd.hnp94k	When Marbury left you, did he put those stamps in his box again, as before? ” “ No, ” replied Mr. Criedir.
hvd.hnp94k	When you got close to Waterloo Bridge, did you meet anybody you knew? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnp94k	Where did you carry on your busi- ness? ” “ In London, of course."
hvd.hnp94k	Where did you know him?"
hvd.hnp94k	Where in the City?
hvd.hnp94k	Where is it? ” Breton started.
hvd.hnp94k	Where on earth did you get this, Spargo? ” Spargo took the ticket and carefully re- wrapped it, this time putting it in his purse.
hvd.hnp94k	Where, then, in heaven's name?''
hvd.hnp94k	Who was he? ” asked Spargo, intuitively conscious that he was coming to news.
hvd.hnp94k	Who'd remem- ber an ordinary man in a grey tweed suit? ” “ An ordinary man in a grey tweed suit,'” repeated Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	Why did you not make it before? ” “ For my own reasons.
hvd.hnp94k	Why do you ask now? ” Breton, who was still staring at the place on which he had fixed his eyes on walking into the entry, shook his head.
hvd.hnp94k	Why had she to do that, young man?'
hvd.hnp94k	Why should they remember him?
hvd.hnp94k	Why, then, the ex- traordinary interest which the Member of Parliament's appearance aroused?
hvd.hnp94k	Why, what else could they say? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Why?
hvd.hnp94k	Why?
hvd.hnp94k	Why? ” “ Because they're afraid of something coming out.
hvd.hnp94k	Why? ” “ Why?
hvd.hnp94k	Why? ” “ Why?
hvd.hnp94k	Why? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Will you buy'em, and how much will you give for'em?
hvd.hnp94k	Will you, can you, see him before he's brought up at Bow Street tomorrow? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	Without doubt? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	Would you like to come?"
hvd.hnp94k	Yes?
hvd.hnp94k	You are going to write about this for your paper? ” Spargo nodded.
hvd.hnp94k	You did n't see his face? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	You do n't recognize this handwriting, I sup- pose? ” Breton still held the scrap of paper in his fingers.
hvd.hnp94k	You have n't? ” “ I have n't,"replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	You know what you told me to do yesterday as regards Aylmore? ” “ To get him to tell all? — Yes,"said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	You know what you told me to do yesterday as regards Aylmore? ” “ To get him to tell all? — Yes,"said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	You re- member I told you of the photograph found with the silver ticket?
hvd.hnp94k	You remem- ber them, of course, quite well? ” Mr. Quarterpage got up and moved to the door.
hvd.hnp94k	You want to save your prospective father- in- law, do n't you? ” “ Of course! ” growled Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	You wish to speak to me? ” Spargo again bowed in silence.
hvd.hnp94k	You — you really think he was coming to me when he was struck down?".
hvd.hnp94k	Your sis- ter?—Breton? ” “ I left them on purpose to speak to you, ” she an- swered.
hvd.hnp94k	body you know? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	she says, “ Why, what have you to tell, I should like to know?'
hvd.hnp94k	the second, how much shall I tell him?
hvd.hnp94k	— yours?
hvd.hnp94k	“ A gentleman, now?
hvd.hnp94k	“ About Marbury being an ex- convict? ” “ That's so, Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	“ About that time. ” “ And at that place? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnp94k	“ Ah, you remember me?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Always on the Temple side? ” “ Just so, sir- straight along on that side."
hvd.hnp94k	“ And he kept silence now, I suppose, because he did n't want his daughters to know about his past? ” “ Just so, ” agreed Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And is n't Mr. Spargo writing all these articles about the Marbury case?
hvd.hnp94k	“ And nothing happened at the police- court? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And so you went along and looked? ” he suggested.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And that you know where he is? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And what did you say to that? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And what was it, sir? ” “ This,'replied the secretary.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And what will you do next, sir? ” enquired Mr. Quarterpage.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And who was John Maitland?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ And yet you and he must have had several business acquaintances at that time who knew you both? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And you think you can do it? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And you wanted to see me about this murder, Mr. Webster? ” “ I did, sir.
hvd.hnp94k	“ And — what are you do- ing- you, yourself?
hvd.hnp94k	“ And — who is he? ” “ I'll tell you the story,"answered Spargo, “ and in a summary.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Are there many? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Are you any nearer- is Rathbury any nearer?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Are you telling me that you accuse my guardian and his friend, Mr. Cardlestone, of being- murderers? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ At daybreak? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But the others?
hvd.hnp94k	“ But what makes him think that? ” he asked, peep- ing with curiosity beyond Driscoll's burly form.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But when you met, you knew each other at once? ” “ Well- almost at once. ” “ Almost at once.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But — the bank people? ” suggested Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But — why? ” he asked, showing great surprise.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But, ” he added, with a sly laugh, “ I suppose you want some more good copy, eh? ” Spargo glanced at his watch, rose, and picked up his hat.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But- how did you know they were his daughters? ” Spargo laughed as he sat down to his desk.
hvd.hnp94k	“ But- how do you know that was the thing that Marbury was struck down with? ” Rathbury smiled grimly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Can you tell me what that is? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Charing Cross, I suppose? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Close friends?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Come our way again then, sir? ” he remarked with a sudden grin of recognition.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Could I ever forget it?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Could you recognize him from that? ” “ Make no doubt of it, sir,"answered Mr. Webster.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did he pull out his purse in your presence, now? ” “ Yes, ” answered the landlady, with promptitude.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did n't Ayl- more say that the real culprit at Cloud hampton was an- other man — his clerk or something of that sort? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did n't I say I should get some news?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did n't you say that you knew a man who lives in that block in the entry of which Marbury was found? ” “ No, I did n't,"answered Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did you ever hear the name of the gentleman who took the boy away? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did you ever visit him in prison?''
hvd.hnp94k	“ Did you see Mr. Anderson enter then? ” “ Yes, sir, just after twelve."
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do the inhabi- tants die much of inanition? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you know Mr. Elphick, Mr. Spargo? ” enquired the younger Miss Aylmore.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you know him as an inmate of the Temple? ” The man stared at Aylmore, evidently confused.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you know the way to it? ” “ I do — I've been there."
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you know the way? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you object to that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you see him now, Mr. Lyell? ” 112 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ You walked after them?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you see him now, Mr. Lyell? ” 112 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ You walked after them?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you think he does? ” “ Yes! ” replied Spargo, with emphasis.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you think he'd tell me a bit about those Austra- lian stamps which Marbury showed to Criedir, the dealer? ” “ Certain, he would- delighted.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you think that old chap was killed for what he may have had on him? ” he asked, suddenly turning on the detective.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do you- do you think I could possibly see the body? ” “ It's at the mortuary,"answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Do?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Easy to find all these things out? ” she repeated.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Eh? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Ever heard from him? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Ever heard of him?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Ever seen that writing before? ” he suggested.
hvd.hnp94k	“ For what reason, eh?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Getting nearer- a bit nearer- eh? ” “ To what?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Getting nearer- a bit nearer- eh? ” “ To what?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Guardian, ” he said, “ why do n't you tell what you know?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Have you read the accounts of it in my paper, the Watchman? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ He would have it on him when he was — as we be- lieve he was- murdered and robbed? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ He's come to take charge of this case. ”"Oh? ” said Spargo blankly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How came Aylmore to be identified?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ How do you do? ” said Spargo slowly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How do you get to Market Milcaster? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How far did you follow them? ” “ I followed them until they came to the Embank- ment lodge of Middle Temple Lane, sir. ”"And then?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ How far did you follow them? ” “ I followed them until they came to the Embank- ment lodge of Middle Temple Lane, sir. ”"And then?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ How far? ” he asked Breton as they walked away from the station.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How long- roughly speaking? ” “ I should say from twenty to twenty- two or three years."
hvd.hnp94k	“ How much do you want for your secret? ” he sud- denly asked, turning to his companion.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How was the thing discovered? ” asked Spargo, anx- ious to get at facts.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ How? ” she demanded.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I do n't recognize it at all. ” “ Ca n't see in it any resemblance to any man you've ever known? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I know nothing more. ” “ But why should a man deposit an empty box? ”'be- gan the chairman.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I know who'll know where he is, if anybody does. ” “ Who, then? ”'asked Spargo, as they hurried out.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I remember you, ” said Mrs. Walters; “ you came with the detective- Mr. Rathbury. ” “ Have you seen him, since? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I said — What did you say to that?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ I say again what's all that to me? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I say, Spargo, is that really so? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I see- what, ” he went on, with sudden abruptness, “ what shall you do about Breton?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ I suppose he's said something?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ I suppose one can talk until the judge enters? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I suppose you read the newspapers and possibly the Watchman, Miss Baylis? ” But Miss Baylis shook her head.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I suppose you've got one. ” 76 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER “ Have you? ” asked Spargo, bluntly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I suppose you've heard the news? ” Spargo nodded as he dropped into a chair.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I understand that you desire to ask me some question about John Maitland, of Market Milcaster? ” she said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ I understand that you wish to see me?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ I? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ If you please, sir, is Mr. Spargo, of the Watchman, here?.
hvd.hnp94k	“ If you will hear what was done for the boy's sake- eh? ” “ That, ” answered Spargo, “ is precisely what I wish.
hvd.hnp94k	“ In 1891?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Indeed, sir? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is his name there? ” The old man ran the tip of his finger down the list of names.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is it possible to get that box opened? ” “ It'll have to be opened, ” answered Rathbury, rising.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is it what you think?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is n't Mr. Justice Borrow sitting in one of the courts this morning? ” he suddenly asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is that what you're going to say in your article to- night? ” she asked, quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is that-certain?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Is this really Mr. Breton's first case? ” “ His very first- all on his own responsibility, any way,"replied Spargo's companion, smiling.
hvd.hnp94k	“ It can be seen?
hvd.hnp94k	“ It was a South American curio that he had in his rooms in Fountain Court. ” “ Where was it found?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Lon- don's an ant- heap, is n't it?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Lots! ” “ Good? ” asked Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	“ May I be allowed to make an explanation, sir? ” he began.
hvd.hnp94k	“ May we speak to you? ” said Jessie.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Never saw him during that time until you met ac- cidentally in the way you have described to us? ” “ Never."
hvd.hnp94k	“ No — the boy was dead. ” “ Dead, eh?
hvd.hnp94k	“ No- body been in yet? ” asked Mr. Kaye.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Nothing that one might call material, you know. ” “ Did n't ask him what he meant? ” suggested Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Now, what did I argue from that?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Now, you're absolutely sure about what you heard 60 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER him exclaim? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Now-???
hvd.hnp94k	“ Now-???
hvd.hnp94k	“ Now-???
hvd.hnp94k	“ Odd how things turn up, is n't it?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Of, I see, the Watchman?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Oh, by the by,"he said,"is n't your guardian, Mr. Elphick, a big au- thority on philately? ” “ One of the biggest.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Oh- Mr. Spargo? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Oh? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Oh? ” he said—“Marbury?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Oh? ” he said—“Marbury?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Out with it! ” “ With what? ” “ You promised to tell me something — a great deal, you said- if we found that coffin empty.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Perhaps you know who did, then?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Put on you, was it? ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Quiet? ” “ That, ” continued Spargo, “ is precisely what I ob- served.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Quite a young'un! ” “ But what is it? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Quite sure about it?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Say?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Search him, d'ye see?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Seriously, do you think you're getting any nearer anything? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Shall I put the things on the table? ” “ Aye, put them on, my dear, put them on!"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Shall you be at Bow Street tomorrow morning?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ So that you knew him quite well? ” “ Oh yes, sir."
hvd.hnp94k	“ So, I suppose, are you, Cardlestone?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Some- body listening? ” There was a curious cackle of laughter from behind the hedge; then the cracked, husky voice spoke again.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Something hand- some, I hope? ” “ Couple o'quid, ” replied Mollison.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Soon- afterwards? ” “ Immediately after he was found.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Sud- den?
hvd.hnp94k	“ That he? ” “ That's the gentleman, sir,"replied Webster.
hvd.hnp94k	“ That is my name, sir. ” “ And you reside at 23, Cumbrae Side, Kilmarnock, Scotland? ” “ I do."
hvd.hnp94k	“ The Watchman's about the most powerful paper in London, is n't it? ” she said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ The object? ” he said, drily.
hvd.hnp94k	“ The question is-will it achieve its object? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Then they did n't believe what his counsel said — that Chamberlayne got all the money? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Then why, in the sacred name of common sense did no one ever take steps to make certain? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ There ai n't no danger of me being got into trouble along of that stick? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ This information, now? ” “ Well, ” said Mr. Criedir, “ we'll go on then.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Was Rathbury in court? ” he suddenly asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Was he alone? ”"No, sir; there was another gentleman with him."
hvd.hnp94k	“ Was n't it there, Spargo, just there, that Marbury, or, rather, Maitland, was found? ” “ It was just there,"answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Was n't it there? ” he said in a low voice, pointing at the place he looked at.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Was there no other way than this? ” he asked after a long interval of silence.
hvd.hnp94k	“ We settled yesterday, did n't 71 72 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER we, that you and I are to consider ourselves partners, as it were, in this job?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well — what are you going to do now, Spargo?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well, did he tell you that he was going to Aus- tralia? ” enquired Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well, now, perhaps you'll just tell me what you know of this man?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well, what about the lid, then?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well? ” he said to the boy.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well? ” he said, almost roughly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well? ” said Spargo, as he sprang out: “ How is it?'
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well? ” said Spargo, as he sprang out: “ How is it?'
hvd.hnp94k	“ Well? ” “ Well, young man, there you are, ” said his new ac- quaintance.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Were you? ” “ Certainly not!"
hvd.hnp94k	“ What are you, Mr. Lyell? ” “ Traveller, sir, for the firm of Messrs. Stevenson, Robertson& Soutar, distillers, of Kilmarnock."
hvd.hnp94k	“ What can I do for you, sir? ” he enquired.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What can he do to help us? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What d'ye think of today's doings, Spargo? ” he asked, as he proceeded to unlock a cupboard.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What did he come for? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What do you expect from — from what we've just heard? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What do you make of it? ” Rathbury leaned back in his chair in his apparently favourite attitude and stared hard at the dusty ceiling above him.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What do you say, Mr. Spargo? ” Spargo turned slowly, and for the first time since Myerst had entered made a careful inspection of him.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What do you say? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What does Aylmore say about it? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What is it, Spargo? ” “ I mean exactly what I told you,"answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What is it? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ What led to it? ” he asked abruptly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What next? ” asked Spargo, as they gained the street.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What next? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What then? ” “ Well, then, Mr. Marbury rang for some whiskey and soda, ” continued Mrs. Walters.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What time was that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What was he like? ” The landlord ruminated.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What way? ” he asked indifferently.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What were they doing? ”"Talking uncommonly earnestly, sir."
hvd.hnp94k	“ What — what's all this? ” Spargo quietly looked over Breton's shoulder.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What's all this to me?''
hvd.hnp94k	“ What's the object? ”'asked Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What's this?
hvd.hnp94k	“ What's your case — when ’s it down? ” “ I have n't got a case, ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What's your theory, Mr. Spargo? ” he asked sud- denly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What, Mr. Breton? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What, going to see an elderly gentleman in his rooms in the Temple, to offer to sell him philatelic rari- ties at- past midnight? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What, precisely, have we found out? ” asked the editor.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What, then?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ What, ” he asked meditatively, “ what will you do about getting this man identified? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What? ” he said sharply.
hvd.hnp94k	“ What?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Where did you get this? ” “ Never mind, just now,"replied Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Where did you leave him, sir?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ Who are you, anyway? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Who had, then? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Who is the man? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Who is this other witness? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Who's there? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why did n't they get an order for exhumation?".
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why- why- you do n't mean to say that Mr. Elphick has any- thing to do with this Marbury affair?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why?
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why? ” asked Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why? ” “ He says there's blood about him,"answered Dris- coll.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why? ” “ Why? ” exclaimed Mr. Quarterpage.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why? ” “ Why? ” exclaimed Mr. Quarterpage.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Why? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Will you step round and take a look at him, Mr. Breton? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Yes, of course, but how, how, how is it going to be done? ” exclaimed Breton.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Yes? ” he said quietly.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You are?"
hvd.hnp94k	“ You can- certain?
hvd.hnp94k	“ You expect us to believe that? ” exclaimed Breton incredulously.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You followed them eastward? ” “ I did I was going back to the hotel, you see."
hvd.hnp94k	“ You have only just given this information to the police, I understand? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You have?
hvd.hnp94k	“ You help me, and I help you, eh?
hvd.hnp94k	“ You know what it is? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You left the hotel together, I believe? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You mean that? ” “ Read your Watchman in the morning, ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You mean the- murder? ” “ I mean the murder.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You mean to find out who killed this man? ” he said at last.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You saw him? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You the landlord of this house, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You think he was unduly influenced by him? ”.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You think you could get something there? ” asked Rathbury.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You took it with you? ” said Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You want to find the somebody else? ” “ I want you to help me to find the somebody else, ” answered Spargo.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You will — won't you? ” Spargo allowed himself to retain possession of the hand.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You wish to see Miss Baylis? ” said this person, ex- amining Spargo closely.
hvd.hnp94k	“ You — you have not told the — the boy- Ronald- of what you know?
hvd.hnp94k	“ You'll tell me something?
hvd.hnp94k	“ You're a dealer in stamps- rare stamps?'
hvd.hnp94k	“ You're a news- paper man, sir? ” he suggested.
hvd.hnp94k	“ Your duties take you, I think, over to Paris occa- sionally? ” “ They do- once every six weeks I go to Paris."
hvd.hnp94k	“ Your name is David Lyell? ”.
mdp.39015027971640	Able? mdp.39015027971640 And do they live here?"
mdp.39015027971640	And then?
mdp.39015027971640	And who should struggle against the devil,he said,"single- handed as you say, and gain the victory at last, if not I, myself, Lucy?"
mdp.39015027971640	And you knew who she was when you saw her just now?
mdp.39015027971640	Break out about our poor boy?
mdp.39015027971640	Do you happen to know his name? mdp.39015027971640 Got a grudge against Walker, JjeP S tnen?"
mdp.39015027971640	He's a bachelor, is n't he, without wife or child? mdp.39015027971640 Hit or miss?
mdp.39015027971640	How did it all happen?
mdp.39015027971640	It's Lord St. Levan's now, is n't it?
mdp.39015027971640	Oh, Eustace,she said, hurriedly,"do you know what's hap- pened?
mdp.39015027971640	Oh, there's a history to him, is there?
mdp.39015027971640	On what part of the head?
mdp.39015027971640	Then he's staying down here on a visit?
mdp.39015027971640	Then you attribute it to the accident first of all?
mdp.39015027971640	Then you think it may succeed?
mdp.39015027971640	Then your uncle did n't suspect it?
mdp.39015027971640	We may come with you, may n't we?
mdp.39015027971640	Well, you do n't think much of it?
mdp.39015027971640	Well, you've no objection to my going, at any rate?
mdp.39015027971640	Well; which is it?
mdp.39015027971640	What can he want with it?
mdp.39015027971640	What do you mean?
mdp.39015027971640	What does he mean by coming after me up to London like this? mdp.39015027971640 What does he mean, then, by dogging my steps?"
mdp.39015027971640	Where and when did you meet her then?
mdp.39015027971640	Where's Tyrrel?
mdp.39015027971640	Which is St. Michael's Promontory?
mdp.39015027971640	Who in- deed, if not you? mdp.39015027971640 Who indeed?"
mdp.39015027971640	Why a Tyrrel more than the rest of us?
mdp.39015027971640	Why not?
mdp.39015027971640	Why so?
mdp.39015027971640	You do n't put a veto on your friends here, do you?
mdp.39015027971640	You think so?
mdp.39015027971640	You think they may take it?
mdp.39015027971640	You would?
mdp.39015027971640	You've met Miss Trevennack before? mdp.39015027971640 145Why, how do you know my name?"
mdp.39015027971640	169"Well, but how do you know what Walker's is like?"
mdp.39015027971640	23 i 3?
mdp.39015027971640	And it was a month or two, I have no doubt, before you noticed any seri- ous symptoms supervening?"
mdp.39015027971640	And then the question came up in his mind,"Would it be effectual after all?
mdp.39015027971640	But could I look at him to- day and not break down before him?"
mdp.39015027971640	But has your friend any interest with the directors — that's the question?
mdp.39015027971640	But what would you have?
mdp.39015027971640	But you thought his delusion wholly due to the accident, then?"
mdp.39015027971640	Day after day she put the discovery off, and solaced her soul with the best intentions — as what true woman would not?
mdp.39015027971640	Does he have frequent outbreaks?"
mdp.39015027971640	Even in his mad exaltation this strange assault astonished?
mdp.39015027971640	For Walter Tyrrel's sake, ought she to make his condition known to the world at large — and spoil Cleer's honeymoon?
mdp.39015027971640	For if you'd loosened a stone, and then this thing had happened, we'd both of us have believed it was you that did it?'
mdp.39015027971640	Have you got it?"
mdp.39015027971640	Have you reason to think, if he sends it in, and I hold back mine, his is the plan they'd be likely to pitch upon?"
mdp.39015027971640	How dare these rough fellows lay hands like that on the Prince of the Arch- angels and a superior officer in Her Majesty's Civil Service?
mdp.39015027971640	How much will you take to withdraw your own design, and to throw your weight into the scale in favor of my friend's here?"
mdp.39015027971640	Is he Satan himself?
mdp.39015027971640	Is he spending the summer about here?"
mdp.39015027971640	It's so dangerous, do n't you know?
mdp.39015027971640	Then, to hide her confusion, she went on hastily,"And are you going to be in England, too?
mdp.39015027971640	There's always someone wandering and scrambl- ing about these cliffs, do n't you see? — fishermen, tourists, geolo- gists.
mdp.39015027971640	There's genius in its con- struction, do n't you see?
mdp.39015027971640	Was he always to be in at the death of a Trevennack?
mdp.39015027971640	Was it her place to warn Eustace that Cleer's father might at any moment unex- pectedly develop symptoms of dangerous insan- ity?
mdp.39015027971640	Was she bound thus to wreck her own daughter's happiness?
mdp.39015027971640	What business had he with Cleer?
mdp.39015027971640	What can a man like that want to pile up filthy lucre for?"
mdp.39015027971640	What does he mean by tempting me?
mdp.39015027971640	What need, with such as him, to talk of bridges or viaducts?
mdp.39015027971640	What was his poor wife to do, then?
mdp.39015027971640	What was the fellow doing here now?
mdp.39015027971640	Who can say who may be walking underneath those rocks?
mdp.39015027971640	Will you do me the favor to look at them?
mdp.39015027971640	Wo n't you break your rule just for once, and come up on top here to see the view with me?"
mdp.39015027971640	Would Walker play him false?
mdp.39015027971640	Would he throw the weight of his influence into somebody else's scale?
mdp.39015027971640	Would the directors submit as tamely as he thought to his direction or dictation?"
mdp.39015027971640	You've seen her?
mdp.39015027971640	You've spoken to her?"
mdp.39015027971640	alive in the flesh, standing smiling on the steps of Sir Edward Jones'house?
mdp.39015027971640	also exceptionally safe as regards the lives and limbs of passengers and employes?"
mdp.39015027971640	decisive voice,"This is business, I suppose, business?
mdp.39015027971640	where are you?"
mdp.39015027971640	you could do anything to keep him out of Michael's way?
mdp.39015027971640	► t to last longest, to be freest from danger, to give rise in the end to least and fewest accidents?"
hvd.hxdm9p	- “ How in the world did you get that? ” Gates gasped, when he had sufficiently recovered his breath.
hvd.hxdm9p	- “ There, Lamson, I think we have our clue. ” “ But how?
hvd.hxdm9p	240 QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER, DETECTIVE “ Did your cook have a trunk when she came here? ” he questioned abruptly.
hvd.hxdm9p	88 QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER, DETECTIVE “ Do you know anything about where he came from originally?
hvd.hxdm9p	Also, why were the belts taken?
hvd.hxdm9p	Am I to take this intrusion as a social or a profes- sional visit? ” Gates grinned and stretched himself lazily.
hvd.hxdm9p	And why did Brown claim that pistol P Why did that fellow tackle me last night?
hvd.hxdm9p	And, if Brown did n't kill the young fellow, who did?
hvd.hxdm9p	Are you a friend of his? ” “ Yes, ” Quincy casually informed him, holding a half dollar conspicuously in his hand.
hvd.hxdm9p	Are you going to let us be pinched on any such fool charge, and in your own place? ” r “ Ah, cheese! ” was Tim's disgusted retort.
hvd.hxdm9p	Are you in on it? ” McKechnie grinned uncertainly and shifted his position slightly so as to obtain a better view of Quincy.
hvd.hxdm9p	Are you on a particular trail, or are you trusting to luck? ”"I am following a definite path, ” Quincy assured him.
hvd.hxdm9p	Are you sure of your ground? ” “ Absolutely, ” Quincy replied soberly.
hvd.hxdm9p	Been far? ” The last with a glance at the suitcase.
hvd.hxdm9p	But what in the world is the matter with you, man?
hvd.hxdm9p	But what is the use?
hvd.hxdm9p	But, what of him P ”- “ What is his name?
hvd.hxdm9p	Can it be possible that Hugo Blannett so cleverly hid his secret of the treasure that only his own reincarnated mind could rediscover it?
hvd.hxdm9p	Can it be that he was the reincarnation of the original Black Fen- ton?
hvd.hxdm9p	Come right away, wo n't you?
hvd.hxdm9p	Did he keep in prac- tice through fear of some secret enemy? ” “ Blessed if I know, ” Armitage replied slowly.
hvd.hxdm9p	Did you ever chance to hear either Mr. Fenton or his son refer to a former place of residence? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hxdm9p	Did you ever note the length of time necessary to produce complete anaesthesia?
hvd.hxdm9p	Do n't you see any- thing interesting about it? ” “ It looks like one of those daggers I just de- scribed, ” Gates responded slowly.
hvd.hxdm9p	Do n't you see the engraving there? ” Gates squinted thoughtfully at the point indi- cated.
hvd.hxdm9p	Do n't you see the peculiarity it possesses?
hvd.hxdm9p	Do you follow me?
hvd.hxdm9p	Do you know Tim McMahon's saloon over in the West End? ” “ Sure, ” Gates responded, fresh interest showing in his face.
hvd.hxdm9p	Do you know any- thing about this son of Fenton's?
hvd.hxdm9p	Do you know that? ” “ Yes, it is Edgar.
hvd.hxdm9p	Do you promise? ” Silently the two nodded, too much overcome by amazement to be really aware of what they were promising, or why.
hvd.hxdm9p	Do you think I'm goin'to butt in on the bulls and put my place to the everlastin'bad just for the likes of you?
hvd.hxdm9p	Drink or talk business? ” “ Talked business, I guess.
hvd.hxdm9p	Frightful! ” “ Which house? ” Quincy inquired, ignoring the door which Lamson held invitingly open.
hvd.hxdm9p	Get down as quickly as you can, please, because he wo n't talk until you are here. ” “ Wo n't, eh? ” Quincy's voice betokened surprise.
hvd.hxdm9p	Has anyone spoken for Room Eight?
hvd.hxdm9p	Has your daughter any other admirers, so far as you are aware? ” “ No, ” the captain replied.
hvd.hxdm9p	Have they been around here often of late? ” “ I ai n't seen'em before for two weeks.
hvd.hxdm9p	Have you a different theory, Sawyer? ” “ Why, yes, one which varies somewhat from yours.
hvd.hxdm9p	How are we to recognize them? ” Quincy lowered the photographs and turned im- pressively.
hvd.hxdm9p	How do you know you did?
hvd.hxdm9p	How was Silsby carried to the island? ” “ Another surmise, Gates, and one which it will not be necessary now to substantiate.
hvd.hxdm9p	How was she murdered, and do you suspect any- body?
hvd.hxdm9p	I also have another clue, but I shall leave that out of the mat- ter for the present. ” “ Then you will go to Gloucester? ” Lamson questioned.
hvd.hxdm9p	I saw the tracks, but what of them? ” “ Oh, I had forgotten, ” Quincy replied.
hvd.hxdm9p	I think he always locked them. ” “ How long have you been with Mr. Fenton, Jones? ” “ About two years, sir.
hvd.hxdm9p	I've been tied up ever since. ”- “ Why did n't you yell or raise a rough house to attract attention? ” Gates demanded.
hvd.hxdm9p	If Brown killed young Fenton, 110 QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER, DETECTIVE who killed the old man?
hvd.hxdm9p	If Brown killed young Fenton, who killed the old 82 QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER, DETECTIVE man?
hvd.hxdm9p	If so, where is it? ” “ I have never heard of the place nor have I the faintest idea as to where it may be, ” Gates re- plied.
hvd.hxdm9p	If this theory is true as you have mapped it out, then who choloroformed Edgerly and worked the other high jinks at the bank?
hvd.hxdm9p	Is H. B. ancient or modern, and if he is modern, how came his initials here?
hvd.hxdm9p	It's an awful thing and I simply must have help! ” “ But, what is it?
hvd.hxdm9p	Just when, so far as you can tell, did the murder take place? ” “ I ca n't say just when, ” Lamson informed him.
hvd.hxdm9p	No?
hvd.hxdm9p	Now, then, what are you going to do about it? ” At the conclusion of Quincy's remarks Rhodes fidgeted uneasily in his chair for a moment.
hvd.hxdm9p	Pretty work, is n't it, for a civilized country community like this? ” “ Did you see him? ” Ouincy questioned.
hvd.hxdm9p	Pretty work, is n't it, for a civilized country community like this? ” “ Did you see him? ” Ouincy questioned.
hvd.hxdm9p	Sawyer, what are we getting into? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hxdm9p	Sawyer? ” inquired the stranger politely.
hvd.hxdm9p	Say, are youse down and out? ” he asked with ready sympathy, correcting himself almost immediately.
hvd.hxdm9p	Shall we follow him, Sawyer?
hvd.hxdm9p	That, to me, is very evident. ” “ What is the name of that real estate company, Mr. Hemenway? ” Quincy asked.
hvd.hxdm9p	The word they spell is not a Hebrew word, but is rather the simple Eng- lish word “ belt. ” Do you now understand?
hvd.hxdm9p	Then Mr. Edgar said: “ You ’re not going to give it up to him are you?'
hvd.hxdm9p	There- fore, does our clue not point toward Gloucester as a starting- point in our search for the woman's identity and that of her murderer?
hvd.hxdm9p	They ca n't hear you above all that racket. ” “ But how do you know you followed the wrong man? ” Gates demanded.
hvd.hxdm9p	They've both been havin'lots of the ready lately, and I guess this joint got too cheap for ‘ em. ” “ What did they do in here this morning?
hvd.hxdm9p	This you, Sawyer? ” came an excited voice from the other end of the wire.
hvd.hxdm9p	Was he frightened?
hvd.hxdm9p	Was not that an in- dication of the reincarnated member of old Blan- nett's band?
hvd.hxdm9p	Were you facing the table or turned sideways to it? ” “ I was facing the table.
hvd.hxdm9p	What do you make of it? ” 148 QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER, DETECTIVE “ I make just this, ” Quincy replied.
hvd.hxdm9p	What do you make of this thing? ” “ Perhaps the suitcase will show us, ” Quincy sug- gested, placing it on the table between them.
hvd.hxdm9p	What do you suppose he wished to see? ” THE DOUBLE THUMB PRINT 15 Gates shook his head silently.
hvd.hxdm9p	What in the deuce is there to all that stuff that shows you anything? ” Lamson was fairly staggered with bewilderment.
hvd.hxdm9p	What is to prevent him from playing a trick on us like the other fellow played on these poor chaps?
hvd.hxdm9p	What'd you go to work and get my place mixed up in this for, anyway?
hvd.hxdm9p	What's the trouble? ” “ Nothing that need disturb your home- loving instincts, ” came the sarcastic reply.
hvd.hxdm9p	What's their job? ” “ So Ike's in it, is he? ” Quincy soliloquized.
hvd.hxdm9p	What's their job? ” “ So Ike's in it, is he? ” Quincy soliloquized.
hvd.hxdm9p	What, if anything, has this man Blan- nett and his gang to do with it?
hvd.hxdm9p	Where is he? ” Blannett's slow smile crossed his face.
hvd.hxdm9p	Who can tell?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why did n't he leave it just where it fell?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why did n't you tell us that in the THE GOLDEN BELT 91 first place?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why else should young Fenton have been on that land, so close to Brown's house, unless it was for the pur- pose of meeting Brown?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why not?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why, fool that he was, had he not given Gates warning, or why had he, himself, stepped back out of reach before making his accusation?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why?
hvd.hxdm9p	Why?
hvd.hxdm9p	Will you accompany me, Mr. Hemenway? ” Hemenway readily assented, and was half- way to the door before the voice of his grandmother arrested him.
hvd.hxdm9p	Will you come? ” “ Of course I will.
hvd.hxdm9p	Will you take hold of it with me? ” He stared at Quincy anx- iously as he finished.
hvd.hxdm9p	Would they know you over there if you should show up? ” “ Tim would, but he's pretty straight himself, no matter what his patrons may be.
hvd.hxdm9p	You have no enemies who would be likely to use such methods as have been employed? ” “ None, so far as I know.
hvd.hxdm9p	You have the plan correctly? ” Gates nodded quietly and Quincy sank back in an excellent assumption of a drunken stupor.
hvd.hxdm9p	You say they lived together? ” “ I know of him, yes, although I have not yet met him.
hvd.hxdm9p	You will help us out, wo n't you? ” he concluded anxiously.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ A healthy bunch of regard you're showin'for my place all of a sudden, ai n't you?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ All that is interesting and necessary, but how did you settle on Long Tom?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ And how were you sitting?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are THE GOLDEN BELT 67 you wondering if this man might have been mis- taken for me? ” he asked somewhat anxiously.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are n't we taking a long chance in arresting these men?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are n't you sorry?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are you able to recall the facts preceding the blow which rendered you unconscious? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are you busy this morning, Mr. Sawyer? ” Gates inquired in a voice of drawing- room polite- 116SS.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are you certain that your observation is not at fault, Gates? ” Quincy replied finally.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are you fully awake, Silsby? ” Quincy inquired quietly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Are you going to stand for this?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ But is not Mr. Rhodes a bit — er — elderly?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ But see here, Gates, does n't everything seem to point to the fact that Brown had every op- portunity to do the deed himself?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ But what of that pistol?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ By what reason do you make any such remark- able statement as that? ” Burr demanded, finally, in a tone of angry disgust.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Could not the stain have been formed by axle grease from the buggy? ” “ No, I do not think so, ” Silsby replied at once.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Did n't you find her? ” Edgerly's voice betrayed the first sign of emotion that Quincy had noticed in it.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Did the doctor say that the man bore any indica- tions of having been drugged? ” “ He did n't say, ” the captain responded slowly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Did you ever hear of Lurie, Vermont?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do n’t you think we had better discover what it contains? ” “ Oh, very well.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do we go there tonight? ” “ We do not, ” Quincy replied emphatically.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do you chance to know what security Mr. Ed- gerly offered Jabez Rhodes when borrowing that money? ” Jay's eyes flashed angrily.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do you know him? ” Gates whispered.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do you know, Gates? ” Quincy replied with a low chuckle, “ that I sometimes think I have missed my calling?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do you know, Gates? ” Quincy replied with a low chuckle, “ that I sometimes think I have missed my calling?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do you think you have found the knife? ” “ No, no, not the knife, but a knife, ” Quincy re- plied.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Do you wonder I'm so anxious to catch the man who struck her? ” Quincy nodded briefly, and glanced up at the sound of the woman ’s voice.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Doctor, why do you suppose Dobell chose this lonely spot for a place of abode? ” “ He hated people, ” was the doctor's brief reply.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Everything going well? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Gates, do you know Ike Mc- Kechnie and Long Tom? ” Gates shook his head negatively after several moments of careful reflection.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Giving up so early in the game, Mr. Sawyer? ” he inquired, a slightly sneering accent in his voice.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Got a table vacant, Sport? ” Quincy demanded in a loud tone of Rabbit, sinking his voice to a whisper as he fired a second question.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Has that been examined, Gates? ” Quincy in- quired, pointing toward the wallet.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Has this mirror been moved, Gates? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ He kind of got you fellows with your eyes shut, did n't he? ” Silsby grinned.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ He was a fine man once. ” “ But how did you settle on him? ” Silsby de- manded, from where he lay propped on one elbow.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ How did you come to employ the woman when you had absolutely no knowledge of her, or of her previous state of life? ” he asked, after a time.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ How long has that man been dead, in your opin- ion, Doctor? ” he inquired of the examiner.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ How was I to suppose that an attempt would be made inside this very house?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ I smell it, Gates, but where the deuce is it? ” Quincy spoke in a voice rendered hoarse by sus- pense.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ I wonder if it can be possible. ” “ What are you talking about? ” Gates de- manded.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Is he gone? ” Captain Orcutt questioned sol- emnly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Is it one man or a dozen? ” Gates whispered, as he paused to reload his revolver.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Is n't she plucky? ” Gates whispered admiringly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Is that sparkler the real thing? ” “ The real thing in paste, yes.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ It required an unusual number of them to do the work, do n't you think? ” he inquired meekly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Notoriety?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Now, why should you continue to keep the secret buried?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Oh, then you received him socially?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Our game, Ike? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Our men? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Sawyer?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Say, this wo n't be gettin'me into trouble, will it? ” “ No, you're safe enough, ” Quincy assured him.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Say, what's up, anyhow? ” he continued anxiously.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ See here, Mr. Rhodes; did you ever watch a physician while he was administering an anaesthetic?.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Seen Long Tom lately? ” Quincy inquired in a low voice, after an interval of silence.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Shall we go to Vermont? ” “ We certainly shall, ” Quincy replied with con- viction.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ So it's him, is it? ” Rabbit muttered in a voice equally low.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ That you, Sawyer?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ They were all closed, but they were not locked. ” “ Were they habitually left unlocked? ” “ I think not, sir.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ They're trying to put my place in bad with the bulls, are they? ” he growled in a voice indicative of rising wrath.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ This is your Wife? ” “ Yes, we were married on the evening preceding the time set for Oscar's wedding.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Was Ike alone? ” he inquired, when the waiter had returned.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Well, Gates, did you locate our man? ” Quincy inquired, dropping into a chair without awaiting an invitation to do so.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Well, what do youse want? ” he demanded, approaching slowly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Well, what is it? ” Quincy inquired mildly after a pause of several seconds.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Well, what shall we do now? ” he snapped, when the parcel had been reconsigned to its original resting place.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What are they? ” Lamson questioned eagerly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What do they do, these foreigners, to earn their living? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What do you make of it, Mr. Sawyer? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What do you make of that? ” Gates questioned in a whisper.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What do you want? ” he questioned, as he drew up in the shade of the bush.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What is it? ” he questioned eagerly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What kind of a plant is this? ” he demanded savagely.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What room is Long Tom's friend in? ” “ Naw, there ai n't none vacant, ” Rabbit responded with a gleam of recognition in his eyes.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What the deuce are you doing here? ” Gates settled comfortably back on his heels be- fore replying.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What was fastened there? ” he demanded abruptly of Armitage and the state officer collect- ively.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What'll you have? ” was his husky greeting.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ What's up?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ When you photographed that thumb print, Gates, by what part did you hold the mirror? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Where do all these different folks come in, anyhow?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Where is Lieutenant Denham? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Where were you last evening after leaving the bank? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Where's your room?'"
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Who are the Blannetts?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Who are they? ” For a few moments the doctor toyed idly with a teaspoon before replying.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Who are you that you question me in this manner? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Who can fathom the mental processes of a madman? ” he questioned.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Why should he have done it?
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Will Mrs. Patterson be able to see us this morn- ing? ” he then inquired.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Will you allow me to return to my paper now? ” “ Paper nothing!
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You are sightseers? ” he inquired, carelessly.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You are sure of that? ” “ Positive, sir. ” Another nod of the head ac- companied the statement.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You did not find the knife with which Fenton was stabbed, did you, Gates? ” he inquired, after a thoughtful pause.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You fool, what did you do that for? ” “ They told me to, ” Rabbit whined in protest.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You know nothing whatever of Dobell's former his- tory? ” Armitage shook his head.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You mean that you have discovered the murderer? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You were n't suspiciously urgent in making the latter demand, were you, Captain? ” he questioned.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ You ’ll make certain they do n't es- cape while we are gone? ” Quincy continued.
hvd.hxdm9p	“ Young Fenton went armed, did he?
mdp.39015013472025	-Will you allow me to aſk your reaſon for the queſtion, fir?"
mdp.39015013472025	Are you ſo? mdp.39015013472025 What man? ” enquired Emily."

mdp.39015013472025	: “ How long have you lived in this deſo- late place?"
mdp.39015013472025	:"Why call me cruel? ” faid the man, 16 I would remove you from this dreary ſolitude to a merry party below.

mdp.39015013472025	And- why ſhould I conceat from you, that play is not his only vice?
mdp.39015013472025	At length ſhe ſaid, fuddenly, “ I think I will go to him my- ſelf;-where is he?"
mdp.39015013472025	Bok • Who told you ſo? ” he repeated, more fternly.
mdp.39015013472025	But I know, you know, ma'am, who you are going to ſee. ” « Pray did Barnardine tell you this? ” “ He!
mdp.39015013472025	But what can they mean by coming here?
mdp.39015013472025	But what is to become of me and you,.ma'amfelle, and Ludovico?
mdp.39015013472025	But why did he deſire I would come alone, Annette?"

mdp.39015013472025	Do thoſe plains, or thoſe woods, or that fine expanſe of water, deſerve the name?"
mdp.39015013472025	Do you hear nothing now? ” “ Obey my order,"repeated Montoni.
mdp.39015013472025	Do you not know me?".
mdp.39015013472025	How can the poor nume and friars feel the full feryaur of de- votion, if: they never ſee the fun rife, or ſet?
mdp.39015013472025	How does your comrade account for it? ” ſaid Emily.
mdp.39015013472025	I un- derſtood, that the chateau had been ſhut up for ſome years?"
mdp.39015013472025	I was afraid his joy would have betrayed him to the ſentinel at the door. ” “ But how does he look, Ludovico? ” in.

hvd.hnqirh	A- a stunt?
hvd.hnqirh	About a lady who came to see Mr. Gilbert last night, ” I explained shortly; then,Who was she, Chung? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Ah- Boyne — isn't it? ” Bowman greeted me; I thought our coming relieved the situation. hvd.hnqirh All right. ” A pause, then, “'Skeels arrived here from'Frisco this morning shall I arrest?
hvd.hnqirh	And no one — not one of all these people could differentiate him?
hvd.hnqirh	Anything about money?
hvd.hnqirh	Anything in what Boyne says, Cummings? ” Dyke- man asked anxiously. hvd.hnqirh At Santa Ysobel. ” “ What?
hvd.hnqirh	Barbara,I broke in across their talk,"who was the woman who came here to this place last night?"
hvd.hnqirh	Bill still keeps the old place?
hvd.hnqirh	Bonding company will hound him, wo n't they? ” young Gilbert put it bluntly. hvd.hnqirh Boyne,"he said impatiently, “ what's the matter with you?
hvd.hnqirh	But you'll be back by dinner time? ” Ina added quickly. hvd.hnqirh But you're going, are n't you, Mr. Boyne? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnqirh	Ca n't I help with that?
hvd.hnqirh	Cap- tain Gilbert brought that eight hundred thousand cash and securities in a- er- in a very strange way. ” “ What d'you mean, strange way? hvd.hnqirh Could he — the man I've described — come through here — through this office and neither you nor Louie see him?"
hvd.hnqirh	Craps?--they say our boys did shoot craps a good deal over there. hvd.hnqirh Dang it all, Mr. Vandeman, if you did n't want to get mussed up, what made you fight like that? ”"Fight?"
hvd.hnqirh	Dang it all, Mr. Vandeman, if you did n't want to get mussed up, what made you fight like that? ”Fight?"
hvd.hnqirh	Dark girl? ” Worth had interest enough to lean into the place where I got my view; after he did so he remained to stare. hvd.hnqirh Deduce it?"
hvd.hnqirh	Description?
hvd.hnqirh	Did I?
hvd.hnqirh	Did she come here — to the study? ” I asked. hvd.hnqirh Do I need to? ” I asked.
hvd.hnqirh	Do do you deduce that, Barbara? ”. hvd.hnqirh Do n't you notice that a girl always says a blue- eyed man or a brown- eyed man?
hvd.hnqirh	Do we go now? ” the older man asked, wincing. hvd.hnqirh Do you think the little girl will really be of any use? ” I spoke to the back of Worth's head as he continued to stare after them.
hvd.hnqirh	Does n't either of you want to hear the answer? ” she asked. hvd.hnqirh Does n't it look like Van, Barbie? ” Skeet kept up the conversation.
hvd.hnqirh	Eight minutes to ten? hvd.hnqirh Ends? ” As my voice halted young Gilbert's word came like a bullet.
hvd.hnqirh	Every word and part of a word- every letter? ” Her eyes smiled into mine with a reassurance that was like balm. hvd.hnqirh Exactly and precisely,"he said,"the same words you had in that other fool description of him. ”"Of whom?"
hvd.hnqirh	Father still kept Eddie?
hvd.hnqirh	Fired Hughes? hvd.hnqirh Five feet seven or eight; weighs about hundred and forty. ” “ Blue eyes you say?"
hvd.hnqirh	Friends of yours?
hvd.hnqirh	Friends? hvd.hnqirh Gonestolen? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnqirh	Guessed at it?
hvd.hnqirh	He let himself go to Steve Skeels — won't that do you? ”No,"she said so positively that it was annoying.
hvd.hnqirh	He lived here — years, you say?
hvd.hnqirh	He married our Sarah, you know — was that before you went away? hvd.hnqirh Hello, Mr. Boyne? ” DR.
hvd.hnqirh	House mousy, or field mousy? ” Cummings wanted to know. hvd.hnqirh How about publicity, if this goes? ” Whipple sud- SIGHT UNSEEN 19 denly interrogated, raising his voice to top the pack- yell.
hvd.hnqirh	How could she grow up to be like this — a child that was n't allowed any child- hood? hvd.hnqirh How did you know it was this window?"
hvd.hnqirh	How do you get the exact minute Clayte arrived? ” Anson stopped me at this point,and the positive knowledge that he had the suitcase with him?"
hvd.hnqirh	How do you get the exact minute Clayte arrived? ” Anson stopped me at this point,and the positive knowledge that he had the suitcase with him?"
hvd.hnqirh	How long ago was this building reroofed?
hvd.hnqirh	How long do you think it might have been planned or prepared for? hvd.hnqirh How much? ” began heavy- set, heavy- voiced old Anson, down at the lower end, but stuck and got no further.
hvd.hnqirh	How was that? ”You know we saw him at Tait's last night.
hvd.hnqirh	Huh?
hvd.hnqirh	I know Skeels; have known him for years. ”Years?
hvd.hnqirh	I suppose Clayte was bonded- for what that's worth? ”Fifteen thousand dollars,"Knapp, the cashier, gave the information dully.
hvd.hnqirh	If — if you fail you lose a lot of money; was n't that what you said?
hvd.hnqirh	In spite of the fact that she was engaged to Worth Gilbert?
hvd.hnqirh	Is that what they gave you at the St. Dunstan — what he was wear- ing when he came in? ” I nodded. hvd.hnqirh Is that — that stuff in those damnable books?"
hvd.hnqirh	Is- is Mr. Boyne interested in stunts — such as I used to do?
hvd.hnqirh	Just back from the south yourself, are n't you? ” I countered. hvd.hnqirh Ladies?"
hvd.hnqirh	Made all the observations you want to, Bobs?
hvd.hnqirh	Maybe you think Worth Gilbert will sleep well to- night- in jail?
hvd.hnqirh	Might be Tim Foley? ” he appealed to the Kite, who nodded gravely and chewed his short mustache. hvd.hnqirh Miss Wallace, ” I said sharply, “ what's this Steve Skeels stuff?
hvd.hnqirh	Mr. Boyne,the black eyes came around to me with a flash, “ do you suspect me of trying to pay off a spite on Ina Vandeman? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Mr. Boyne”—Vandemán missed the sarcasm,when I got back to this town to- day, what do you suppose I found?
hvd.hnqirh	Not in four years? hvd.hnqirh Nothing proved yet. ” “ Nothing proved?"
hvd.hnqirh	Now why did you run to them? hvd.hnqirh Oh, Mr. Cummings, did they send you for me?
hvd.hnqirh	Oh, does it?
hvd.hnqirh	Oh, the money? hvd.hnqirh Oh, well then, what color was it?
hvd.hnqirh	Only now? ” smiling. hvd.hnqirh Reroofed? ” repeated the puzzled clerk, much more civil to her than he had been to me.
hvd.hnqirh	Seat for me?'' hvd.hnqirh Securities? ” croaked Dykeman.
hvd.hnqirh	See? hvd.hnqirh Since 1907—or thereabouts. ”"Was he always a gambler?"
hvd.hnqirh	Some one in there? hvd.hnqirh Suppose a State bank examiner walks in on you Monday?"
hvd.hnqirh	The quarrel between Captain Gilbert and his father d'ye mean? ” Dykeman asked his first question. hvd.hnqirh The rest of the bunch?"
hvd.hnqirh	Then it leaks we have a run- and where are you?
hvd.hnqirh	Then it's not just a stunt? ” She settled dowly back in her chair. hvd.hnqirh Two and two are making about three and a half this afternoon, are they? ” “ What we've got to- day ought to land something,"I maintained.
hvd.hnqirh	Was it supposed to be a description?
hvd.hnqirh	Was n't that enough to call you names for? ”. hvd.hnqirh Well, is n't it?"
hvd.hnqirh	Well, why not? ” Dykeman shrilled. hvd.hnqirh Well,"I grunted, “ Barbara deduced the slipping of some bolts to please you once- why ca n't she again?"
hvd.hnqirh	Well? ” he grunted, scarcely above his breath. hvd.hnqirh What I want to know is how much have you raised? ”"See here, Cummings, ” again I mixed in.
hvd.hnqirh	What about those library books he carried in the suitcase? ” Worth came in with an echo from the bank meeting. hvd.hnqirh What do you say, Gilbert? ” The attorney looked toward the young man, who, all through the discus- sion, had been staring straight ahead of him.
hvd.hnqirh	What for? ” he asked huskily. hvd.hnqirh What sort of looking person was this man Skeels? ” she asked.
hvd.hnqirh	What time is it?
hvd.hnqirh	What you got, Cummings? ” I prompted again, im- patiently. hvd.hnqirh When did you see him last? ”"On the day of the funeral.
hvd.hnqirh	When?
hvd.hnqirh	Where are you, Jerry? ”. hvd.hnqirh Where you been all day?"
hvd.hnqirh	Where'd he go?
hvd.hnqirh	Where?
hvd.hnqirh	Who bought your house, Barbara? ” I asked her. hvd.hnqirh Who's down there? ” “ Eddie Hughes has a room off the garage."
hvd.hnqirh	Who's in there? ” I cried. hvd.hnqirh Why did he unmask, then? ”"Did n't want to.
hvd.hnqirh	Worth,I asked,"did you see that 1920 volume when you were here last night? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Worth? ” I shouted, at last, and he answered me instantly, hallooing from behind me, and to one side of the house. hvd.hnqirh You say my father removed something he had written? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqirh	'And when there was no reply but a surprised look,"How do you stand now?"
hvd.hnqirh	'”"By Golly — you see it now yourself, do n't you, Jerry? ”"I see that you're holding up work, ” I said im- patiently.
hvd.hnqirh	... They~""Is Bronse Vandeman here? ” I questioned Fong Ling.
hvd.hnqirh	14 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE"Girls?
hvd.hnqirh	166 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE"I understand that Captain Gilbert met his engage- ment with you; was he short of the sum agreed?"
hvd.hnqirh	168 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE Who would n't shadow that crook?
hvd.hnqirh	182 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE he come with her from the house, or joined her on the cross- cut path?—could that be Worth Gilbert?
hvd.hnqirh	240 THE MAGNET 241 “ Was that Cummings? ” holding my hat on.
hvd.hnqirh	298 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE"You heard what she said?"
hvd.hnqirh	80 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE “ Why not? ” I countered.
hvd.hnqirh	? ” Worth did n't even glance at me as he made this arrangement for us both.
hvd.hnqirh	A gambler at night, a bank employee by day?
hvd.hnqirh	A hint of it was in Whipple's voice as he asked, gravely: “ Do you bind yourself to pursue Clayte and bring him, if possible, to justice?"
hvd.hnqirh	After profiting by it for five years, he was going to rake that up?"
hvd.hnqirh	Ai n't I your hus- band? ”"Doctor Bowman, ” peppery little old Dykeman spoke up from the depths of his chair.
hvd.hnqirh	An in- decisive slackening of the machine, and Little Pete asked, “ Where now, sir?"
hvd.hnqirh	And I demanded of Ina Vandeman, “ You tell us your husband's present — in this room?
hvd.hnqirh	And heavy- faced Anson asked bluntly, “ Who's to set the price on it?
hvd.hnqirh	And now, honest to goodness, has n't Barbie with the plum- blossoms got Ina and her artificial flowers skun a mile?"
hvd.hnqirh	And when I continued to stare silently at him, he A SHADOW IN THE FOG 119 writhed a shoulder with, “ What's doing?
hvd.hnqirh	And when I looked surprised, “ Might need that box, and you not be in the office. ”"Need it?"
hvd.hnqirh	Any word, Worth?"
hvd.hnqirh	Are you quitting on me?
hvd.hnqirh	As I plunged for the door I was conscious of his hoarse whisper following me,"What's Steve done, Jerry?
hvd.hnqirh	As though her words had suggested it, Worth spoke again, A TIN- HORN GAMBLER 97 “ Where did you meet Cummings?
hvd.hnqirh	As we began to worm a slow way toward my office, I suggested, “ You'll come upstairs with me, and- er- sort of outline a policy?
hvd.hnqirh	As we headed away for the other end of town, he spoke again, half interrogatively,"Vandeman shot her?"
hvd.hnqirh	Bowman and his wife- and that man who was just in here — Jim Edwards? ” Worth turned a hostile back; Barbara seemed to shrink in her chair.
hvd.hnqirh	Bowman came run- ning with the girl's hat, and, “ What about me, Mr. Boyne?
hvd.hnqirh	Bowman that we met last night at Tait's — she was a special friend of your mother's? ” “ They were like sisters — in more than one way."
hvd.hnqirh	Bowman's uncle bought it and gave it to her. ”"And they went in on the first of June, 1916?"
hvd.hnqirh	Bowman-any connection with him? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Boyne's roadster is in our garage. ” “ Anything wrong with Eddie Hughes? ” Edwards asked as he stepped in to get his driving gloves.
hvd.hnqirh	Boyne, will you take Laura and me home?"
hvd.hnqirh	Boyne?"
hvd.hnqirh	But Clayte, slipping in here to do this murder-and why?
hvd.hnqirh	But she was plainly holding back for a further development, her eyes on the entrances; and what the devil was my next move?
hvd.hnqirh	But suppose there was n't, how would you find any wonder- fulness in a creature as near nothing as this Clayte?"
hvd.hnqirh	But what if the thing worked another way?
hvd.hnqirh	But when I talked to him last night, right here in this room, he did n't seem to me a man ready to take his own life. ” “ You quarreled? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	But would Edwards go in with him — or was he only along to drive the ma- chine?
hvd.hnqirh	But you will come over to our table- for a minute anyhow?
hvd.hnqirh	Ca n't you see, Mr. Boyne?
hvd.hnqirh	Can he make it?
hvd.hnqirh	Can you declare to me as executor, where it is?
hvd.hnqirh	Could that be worked?
hvd.hnqirh	Covering the transmitter with my hand, I told Worth the situation and asked,"Any suggestions?".
hvd.hnqirh	Crank on education? ”"Psychology, ” Worth said briefly.
hvd.hnqirh	Did Captain Gilbert fail to meet his engagement with you Monday morning? ” Whipple shook his head.
hvd.hnqirh	Did he an- swer you in person — from out there? ”"That's what I told you, Jerry."
hvd.hnqirh	Did he supply an alibi so neatly because of that shadowy head on the door panel?
hvd.hnqirh	Did it mean that he'd seen his father and got a calling down?
hvd.hnqirh	Did n't he have a girl? ” “ Not a girl. ”"No associates- no girl?
hvd.hnqirh	Did n't he have a girl? ” “ Not a girl. ”"No associates- no girl?
hvd.hnqirh	Did she say so? ”"No, but she imitated the voice of a woman who came weeping to get those pages from the diary; and who else would that be?
hvd.hnqirh	Did she say so? ”"No, but she imitated the voice of a woman who came weeping to get those pages from the diary; and who else would that be?
hvd.hnqirh	Did you find that Skeels was Clayte?".
hvd.hnqirh	Did you phone ahead to see how things was out to the house? ” “ Tried to, ” Worth said.
hvd.hnqirh	Do n't think I ever laid eyes on the man myself. ” A description of Edward Clayte?
hvd.hnqirh	Do you think he can make it?"
hvd.hnqirh	Down?
hvd.hnqirh	Drifters — you see so many of the sort in a restaurant- why would n't they hanker after the strength and ruthlessness of a man like Worth?
hvd.hnqirh	Dykeman wanted to know about the one hundred and eighty seven thou- sand odd dollars not covered by Worth's offer — did they lose that?
hvd.hnqirh	Eddie Hughes ought to be on the job out there — but would he?"
hvd.hnqirh	Exactly, under- stand?"
hvd.hnqirh	Folks you know well? ” “ Used to."
hvd.hnqirh	For the love of Mike, what could such a man intend to do with all that money?"
hvd.hnqirh	Friends?—could a man have friends who regarded humanity through such un- kindly, wide open, all- seeing eyes?
hvd.hnqirh	From the top of a stepladder, Skeet Thornhill yelled to us,"Where you two going?
hvd.hnqirh	Get it, Roberts?
hvd.hnqirh	Get me?"
hvd.hnqirh	Gilbert?"
hvd.hnqirh	Got a costume here, have n't you?"
hvd.hnqirh	Got it?"
hvd.hnqirh	Has Murray got in touch with Foster? ” “ Not yet.
hvd.hnqirh	Has n't he been with you ever since the place was rebuilt after the earthquake? ” “ Steve?"
hvd.hnqirh	Has n't he been with you ever since the place was rebuilt after the earthquake? ” “ Steve?"
hvd.hnqirh	Has the man you're trying here to describe anything to do with money- in large amounts — financial affairs of importance?"
hvd.hnqirh	Have n't I made you understand what happened there at the study?
hvd.hnqirh	He came straight from there?
hvd.hnqirh	He did all that?
hvd.hnqirh	He did — or was that yesterday?
hvd.hnqirh	He finished with the abrupt question, “ Were you at Santa Ysobel last night?"
hvd.hnqirh	He had made the latter into a separate package, and now looked up at me with,"Want this in here, too, Jerry?".
hvd.hnqirh	He looked a little startled, and I prompted,"Were you too excited to have noticed a detail like that?"
hvd.hnqirh	He may not be back here before midnight. ” “ Midnight? ” I echoed.
hvd.hnqirh	He walked off with nearly a million cash to- day. ”"From you? ” with a quick breath.
hvd.hnqirh	How did you find it?"
hvd.hnqirh	How did you get wise?"
hvd.hnqirh	How long is it going to take him?"
hvd.hnqirh	How long would that coroner's verdict of suicide sat- isfy the public?
hvd.hnqirh	How many times did I fire? ”"Once, you crazy Indian! ” and the question of sound- proof walls was settled.
hvd.hnqirh	How many?"
hvd.hnqirh	How much time do you want to give to it? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	How much? ” His voice was hard and dry; it did n't sound good to me.
hvd.hnqirh	How soon would some seepage of fact indicate that the death was murder and set the whole town to looking for a murderer?
hvd.hnqirh	How the hell could I?
hvd.hnqirh	How would you like that? ” Apparently Hughes did not resent Barbara's refus- ing his help and accepting Worth's.
hvd.hnqirh	How'd you come here? ” The Kite as a hotelman was a new one on me.
hvd.hnqirh	How's my friend Steve? ” I began to select a cigar, and said shortly,"It's all in reports waiting for you at my office."
hvd.hnqirh	I added, a bit sar- castically, AN APPARITION 53 ey will, ” she always sayshat she sees"Or you, Miss Wallace?"
hvd.hnqirh	I answered that question with another,"When did you see or hear from Worth Gilbert last?"
hvd.hnqirh	I began in exasperation — hadn't I just shown the impractical little creature that those locks could n't be manipulated from outside?
hvd.hnqirh	I came and went, and when I came, it was playtime for the little girl. ”"What was her father?
hvd.hnqirh	I could not deny it when Dykeman yipped at me,"Ai n't that true?
hvd.hnqirh	I did n't share his confidence, but I rather admired it as he finished, poising the tongs,"One lump, or two? ” Of course I knew what he meant.
hvd.hnqirh	I feel""Mr. Dykeman,"Barbara turned quietly to her em- ployer, “ could we pass out through your room?"
hvd.hnqirh	I heard her catch her breath, and Worth scowled at me,"Trance?
hvd.hnqirh	I jumped to my feet with a brisk,"Girl, where's your hat?
hvd.hnqirh	I lingered a minute on that corner looking down the THE BLOSSOM FESTIVAL 279"Is that all Skeet said?
hvd.hnqirh	I mean, how many people's observation of the man does this represent?''
hvd.hnqirh	I ought to have any possible infor- mation you can give me, so's not to make any more wrong moves than we have to. ”"Information?"
hvd.hnqirh	I put my back against the door and asked,"Is Bronson Vandeman a fatuous fool; or does he take me for one?"
hvd.hnqirh	I returned to Miss Wallace, with, “ Ready, Barbara? ” 90 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE “ Yes, Mr.
hvd.hnqirh	I should n't wonder if by now Santa Ysobel's set the exact hour of the quar- rel. ” A LUNCHEON 177: him?
hvd.hnqirh	I stepped to the door, with,"Fixed the radiator, did you? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	I suppose you raised that money for Worth — the seventy- two thousand that was lacking, I mean?"
hvd.hnqirh	I suppose, ” stretching up his head to see across his noisy associates, “ I suppose, Captain Gilbert, you'll be retaining Boyne's agency?
hvd.hnqirh	I tried every way in the world to get him to be specific about this voice; did it sound like that of a young lady?
hvd.hnqirh	I turned to Worth and asked,"When will Edwards be here?"
hvd.hnqirh	I turned to congratulate her and at the same instant Worth cried, “ What's the matter, Bobs?"
hvd.hnqirh	I'll be at the Little Italy restaurant- you know, do n't you?
hvd.hnqirh	I've seen them all. ” “ You've seen them — all? ” a long, furtively drawn breath.
hvd.hnqirh	If he did n't take it, do n't you think he counted it? ” “ Worth,"I said sharply.
hvd.hnqirh	If it was anybody else, would n't you see the connection?
hvd.hnqirh	If it's never recovered? ” Knapp asked huskily; he was least able of any'man in the room to stand the loss.
hvd.hnqirh	If more than one woman spoke in that voice where would it take me?
hvd.hnqirh	If she could slip away for it, why not Ina Vandeman?
hvd.hnqirh	If so, where'd they take him?
hvd.hnqirh	In that case, do you give him the publicity he wants? ” “ Course he does! ” Dykeman hissed.
hvd.hnqirh	In the Gold Nugget, Clayte was a very average Gold Nugget guest — don't you see?
hvd.hnqirh	Is it all right to let him know? ” “ It's all right,"I assented.
hvd.hnqirh	Is it gone — are you sure it is gone? ” Eagerly her eyes were searching desk, cab- inet, the shelf where the other diaries made their long row.
hvd.hnqirh	Is that it?'
hvd.hnqirh	Is that the idea? ” I gave him look for look, but no answer.
hvd.hnqirh	Is that the way you saw it?"
hvd.hnqirh	Is that what you've been wasting your time over, Boyne?
hvd.hnqirh	It works like a cinema camera; I've only to turn the crank the other way to be looking at any past record. ”"But can you —?"

hvd.hnqirh	May I go now, Worth? ” she said, still with that dashed, disappointed look from one of us to the other.
hvd.hnqirh	Miss Wallace, why do you think a des- cription like that could be shouted on the street with- out any one being the wiser? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Mr. Boyne, do you call that a paradox? ”"No an unkind slam at a poor old man's ability in his profession.
hvd.hnqirh	No?"
hvd.hnqirh	Not the kind of a scrap I care for; in a half light you ca n't tell friend from foe; but Worth went to it- and what was there to do but follow?
hvd.hnqirh	Now yer in, what about it? ” What about it, indeed?
hvd.hnqirh	Now yer in, what about it? ” What about it, indeed?
hvd.hnqirh	Now — what is it you want to know? ” Cummings'expression said plainer than words that they did n't want to know anything.
hvd.hnqirh	Now, what do you know about that?
hvd.hnqirh	Now?"
hvd.hnqirh	Oh- you want Ernestine and Cora?
hvd.hnqirh	On account of Worth's engagement with them to- morrow morning?
hvd.hnqirh	Or would you rather go up to the house?"
hvd.hnqirh	Promised Worth, had I?

hvd.hnqirh	She had to break off 222 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE “ I would. ” “ When?"
hvd.hnqirh	She was concentrating now; could she stand the strain of it, with its weakening of the heart action, its pumping all the blood to the brain?
hvd.hnqirh	She'd landed him once; what was to hinder her being successful with the same tactics — whatever they'd been- a second time?
hvd.hnqirh	Should that clue have been followed up before I moved on Eddie Hughes?
hvd.hnqirh	Skeet regarded the manifestation askance, ask- ing jealously,"When did you see Worth last, Barbie?
hvd.hnqirh	So he could have sent Eddie to the pen,-eh?
hvd.hnqirh	Suppose I meet you, say, at ten o'clock to- night? ” “ Suits me. ”"At Tait's.

hvd.hnqirh	That's where I get my cash back. ”"Oh, that's where, is it? ” The lawyer's dry tone might have been regarded as humorous.
hvd.hnqirh	The bride glanced from one to the other of them, and spoke sharply,"What's the matter with you two?
hvd.hnqirh	The light had come from there, but bow?
hvd.hnqirh	The man at the desk looked at me, calling a quick,"Hello, Jerry_what's up?"
hvd.hnqirh	The study's separate from the house?"
hvd.hnqirh	Then suddenly, “ And why do I tell you that?
hvd.hnqirh	They're partial facts. ”"Would n't help me? ” I ejaculated.
hvd.hnqirh	Things that have happened since the boy's gone?
hvd.hnqirh	Three of'em! ”"How much of this are these ladies to stand for? ” I demanded.
hvd.hnqirh	Told you I thought the man was crazy. ” “ And you, Edwards? ”"Let it go as Bronse says.
hvd.hnqirh	Told you of it at the time, did n't I, Jerry?"
hvd.hnqirh	Too velly much bad. ” A pause, then, looking around at the four of us,"I get dinner? ” “ We've all had something to eat, Chung, ” Worth said.
hvd.hnqirh	Vandeman began anxiously, and Skeet took a look around at our faces and fairly wailed, “ What is it?
hvd.hnqirh	Vandeman, you've told your wife that Cummings swore to the complaint? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	WORTH GILBERT 11 “ You think so? ” I said wearily.
hvd.hnqirh	WORTH GILBERT 15"Brass rings and lock, I suppose? ” “ Brass or nickel; I do n't remember.
hvd.hnqirh	Was n't that exceed- ing your orders?
hvd.hnqirh	Was n't that queer?
hvd.hnqirh	Was this one of the things Barbara Wallace had let out to her employer?
hvd.hnqirh	Was this some more of her deductive reasoning, or had Cum- mings dropped a hint?
hvd.hnqirh	We lingered a moment chatting, then,"Shall we go and look at the artists working?"
hvd.hnqirh	We were getting in toward the noise and the light when I felt her shiver, and stopped to say, “ Did I forget your coat?
hvd.hnqirh	We ”"Oh, that was why you wanted me to come back with you? ” She had got hold of herself now.
hvd.hnqirh	We're forced to. ”"Forced? ” Worth had sat up a little and reached far forward for a stone that lay among the weeds down there.
hvd.hnqirh	We've caught Skeels. ”"So soon? ” was all he said.
hvd.hnqirh	Well — if this is all, then? ” and at my nod, she went up the steps, turn- ing at the side door to smile and wave at me.
hvd.hnqirh	Well, please ma'am, who locked the window after him?"
hvd.hnqirh	Were those pages stolen? ”"How should I know? ” said Worth, and added, helpfully,"Pity they did n't steal the whole lot.
hvd.hnqirh	Were those pages stolen? ”"How should I know? ” said Worth, and added, helpfully,"Pity they did n't steal the whole lot.
hvd.hnqirh	Whaddye think? ” Hughes was at work on something for a girl; she perched at one end of his bench, swinging her feet.
hvd.hnqirh	What could she have done with a young outlaw like Worth?
hvd.hnqirh	What d'ye want him for? ” I catapulted across the sidewalk and into the machine.
hvd.hnqirh	What d'yuh want of me?"
hvd.hnqirh	What did it mean?
hvd.hnqirh	What do the police say of it? ” “ We've not thought well to notify them yet."
hvd.hnqirh	What do you mean, Boyne?
hvd.hnqirh	What do you mean, failed to locate?"
hvd.hnqirh	What do you think they're doing to Worth in there, Barbie?"
hvd.hnqirh	What do you think you're hint- ing at?"
hvd.hnqirh	What had she told Cummings?
hvd.hnqirh	What is your idea?
hvd.hnqirh	What mixed him up with affairs here?
hvd.hnqirh	What result did you get?"
hvd.hnqirh	What she wants? ” Over the shoulders of the crowd she gave Barbara Wallace a venomous look, then came at me.
hvd.hnqirh	What up to?
hvd.hnqirh	What you doin'there?"
hvd.hnqirh	What you getting at? ” “ Just this.

hvd.hnqirh	What'd you say, Knapp? ”"I would n't know now, if it was canvas and tin,"replied the harried cashier.
hvd.hnqirh	What's it for? ”"Never mind.

hvd.hnqirh	What's the matter?
hvd.hnqirh	What's their idea? ”"It is n't their idea; it's mine,"with dignity.
hvd.hnqirh	What's this reroofing stuff?

hvd.hnqirh	What, exactly, had the Van Ness Avenue Bank lost?
hvd.hnqirh	When?"
hvd.hnqirh	Where are the others? ” She had come to her feet, and reached for the coat.
hvd.hnqirh	Where do you think you are? ” was like a lash.

hvd.hnqirh	Where's th'other man?
hvd.hnqirh	Where?
hvd.hnqirh	Who else would want them? ”"You're off the track, Boyne, ” he drew a great, shuddering sigh of relief.
hvd.hnqirh	Who was she? ” THE MISSING DIARY 135"Not see um good, ” he repeated, plainly reluctant.
hvd.hnqirh	Who's the dark girl?
hvd.hnqirh	Whose tool was he?
hvd.hnqirh	Why could n't he have spoken that way to the girl herself?
hvd.hnqirh	Why does n't he settle it one way or another, and be done? ” Why did n't he?
hvd.hnqirh	Why does n't he settle it one way or another, and be done? ” Why did n't he?
hvd.hnqirh	Why had Worth gone to the shed hunting a crowbar to open the door?
hvd.hnqirh	Why had n't I remembered then?
hvd.hnqirh	Why had n't he taken her home, instead of leaving it to Edwards?
hvd.hnqirh	Why in blazes did he run so? ”"Because you were shooting him up, I'd say, ” Jim Edwards suggested.
hvd.hnqirh	Why not?
hvd.hnqirh	Why should he phone for you? ” Bow- man wheeled on him at last.
hvd.hnqirh	Why was n't he in that office to defend himself against what they're hinting? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Why was n't this shift of the enemy a blessing in dis- guise?
hvd.hnqirh	Why, where's your hat?"
hvd.hnqirh	Will you hear one now?
hvd.hnqirh	Will you please see for me?"
hvd.hnqirh	Worth cut in with, “ Do you consider the roof another fact, Bobs?"
hvd.hnqirh	Worth spoke again in a sort of dragging voice, “ What do you want to look at them for, Jerry?"
hvd.hnqirh	Worth's head poked from his upstair's window as he shouted, “ What's the excitement down there? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	Would he miss his appointment?
hvd.hnqirh	Would it bring Clayte up before any one who had never seen him?
hvd.hnqirh	Would you say he had it in his head right then to murder you — or Bar- bara- if you came too hot on his trail?"
hvd.hnqirh	Yeah--he keeps a little room up under the roof. ”"Has he had it for as long as four years?"
hvd.hnqirh	Years?"
hvd.hnqirh	You could n't get much idea of the lay of the land when you were down there Wednesday, could you?"
hvd.hnqirh	You do n't even know that he did raise it?
hvd.hnqirh	You do n't want to play with me — is that it?"
hvd.hnqirh	You know what she said about calling Ina a vamp. ” And Skeet drawled innocently,"That it hit too near the truth to be funny- wasn't that it?"
hvd.hnqirh	You or us?
hvd.hnqirh	You saw it when I was showing you the latch, did you?"
hvd.hnqirh	You see what that means? ”"That Clayte- or some accomplice of his- had been using the route more than four years ago.
hvd.hnqirh	You were n't still living in Santa Ysobel when he left, were you?"
hvd.hnqirh	You work for Dykeman. ”"I work for Dykeman?"
hvd.hnqirh	You'll talk about anything in a smoker. ”"Oh, will you?"
hvd.hnqirh	You're not un- easy about Worth's callers, are you?".
hvd.hnqirh	You're sure? ”"Sure of that, yes, miss.
hvd.hnqirh	You've not come through?
hvd.hnqirh	You've not dug up what I sent you after? ” I could see that the lawyer was absolutely nonplussed.

hvd.hnqirh	“ And now could you tell me what action you took, on this state of affairs? ” “ Action?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ And you connect Jim Edwards with this crime?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ And you did n't go to your father for it last night? ” Cummings returned to his question.
hvd.hnqirh	“ And you'll burn anything, I suppose, that a match'll set fire to? ”"Go easy, Jerry Boyne."
hvd.hnqirh	“ At the Thornhills'? ” It might be handy to have her there; but she shook her head, looking a little self- conscious.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Barbara,"I said, “ will you accept my apologies? ” A LUNCHEON 175 “ Oh, yes, ” she smiled vaguely.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Been stepping on tacks, Mister? ” he hailed, having looked at the tires before he took stock of the human freight.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Better come along? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Break? ” Worth gave me back one of my words.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Bulls after him? ” Louie asked, and I turned away from him wearily.
hvd.hnqirh	“ But this quarrel was more bitter than usual? ” “ The last quarrel would seem the bitterest, would n't it, Jerry? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ But this quarrel was more bitter than usual? ” “ The last quarrel would seem the bitterest, would n't it, Jerry? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ But where is he now?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Ca n't you see?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Cummings, Worth inherits everything under his father's will; what's the difference about a small ir- regularity in taking possession?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Do n't you see that does n't do any good, Ina?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Do you think Worth Gilbert would put me on the track of a man he did n't want found? ” Cummings cut in ahead to answer for him,"Just the point.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Do you think it will? ” “ Sure,"and Eddie approached the magnet to her 244 THE MILLION- DOLLAR SUITCASE face.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Does he hang around here much? ”"Him and Chung visit back and forth a bit.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Does n't she look the vamp?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Find that all out to- day in San Francisco? ”"No."
hvd.hnqirh	“ Get it over, ca n't you?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Get the idea, do you, Boyne? ” Anson lunged at me in his ponderous way.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Gilbert, ” he said,"where are you going?-right now, I mean."
hvd.hnqirh	“ Had n't heard? ” I echoed.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Heh? ” he barked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How big a guy? ” he asked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How could I? ” The girl's tone was defensive.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How did he brush his hair? ” I questioned.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How do you know? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How does it look for recovering the money, Boyne? ” Edwards questioned as we drove along.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How long ahead should you say he planned it? ”"Or had it planned and prepared for him,"I re- minded her.
hvd.hnqirh	“ How much? ” came the quick question.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Huh?
hvd.hnqirh	“ I'll not stand for you throwing sus- picion on Jim. ”"Did I- do that? ” her lip trembled.
hvd.hnqirh	“ In Flanders? ” How many times had this lad been jilted?
hvd.hnqirh	“ In Flanders? ” How many times had this lad been jilted?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Is n't it an exquisite thing, Worth? ” displaying her- self before him.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Is n't it, Knapp? ” “ Why, I was going to say lighter,"admitted the cashier, discouragedly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Is that all?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Is that usual? ”"Used to be.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Know what time to- day he left here? ” I asked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Left last night, you think? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Light blue- gray blue. ”"How was he tucked up?".
hvd.hnqirh	“ Me? ” I echoed sheepishly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ More? ” Her eyes on Worth's face talked louder than her tongue, but that also gained fluency as he looked back at her and nodded.
hvd.hnqirh	“ No movement of the sort yet? ” She stopped and faced round toward me.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Oh, it was the Brundage clew that took you south? ” “ Yep.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Or rather, where have you been? ” “ Getting a bar to pry off these boards. ” “ A bar? ” I echoed stupidly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Or rather, where have you been? ” “ Getting a bar to pry off these boards. ” “ A bar? ” I echoed stupidly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Or would the bank prefer to have them turned over in their present form?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Out of ON THE ROOF 73 the door?
hvd.hnqirh	“ See here, Bobs; you and I used to be pals, did n't we? ” She nodded, her look brightening.
hvd.hnqirh	“ See?
hvd.hnqirh	“ She wants your mask off. ” No flicker of response from the man, but the Em- press of China dragged down her mask, crying,"Heard what she said?
hvd.hnqirh	“ So the way into the study is through the skylight, Hughes?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ So you found the body? ” He nodded and gulped.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Take dictation: “'We offer five hundred dollars —'You authorize that, Worth?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ The death took place within an hour preceding midnight. ” “ You are positive it could n't be this morning? ” I asked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ The lady changed her mind while you were across? ” I risked the query.
hvd.hnqirh	“ To be con- verted —?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Trying'em on? ” Dykeman whispered at him.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Want to go along and see me use it? ” “ No- no- ” in hushed protest.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Wanted in, did ya?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Was n't it cute of him?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Was that it all the time? ” I asked.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Well — wasn't it his? ” “ All right,"I said shortly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Well? ” he looked at me uncomfortably.
hvd.hnqirh	“ What besides this meeting?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ What if I told you Cummings'engagement was with our friend Dykeman- only Dykeman does n't know it yet?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ What in God's name for? ” I asked in exaspera- tion.
hvd.hnqirh	“ What the hell do you want in my room for? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnqirh	“ What was there to do?
hvd.hnqirh	“ What would you call this, Worth?
hvd.hnqirh	“ What you got?
hvd.hnqirh	“ What's down there?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ What's the big idea? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	“ What's this?
hvd.hnqirh	“ What?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Where did he spend his time when he was n't in the bank?".
hvd.hnqirh	“ Where was your wife from seven to half past nine on the evening of Gilbert's murder?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Who gave you this description of Steve Skeels?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Who the devil is it?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Who told them I was here? ”"I do not know,"the Chinaman spoke unnecessarily AN ARREST 259 as Worth was crossing to the door.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Who would n't?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Why do n't you? ” Vandeman gave passing atten- tion.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Why not because of this? ” Cummings demanded sharply.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Why not?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Why should I? ” He swung one long leg free and stopped idly, half in the car, half out.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Why should n't I?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Will the Clearing House help you out?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Will you open this window for me, please?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Will you read me that?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ Wo n't you — this one time-take orders? ” I went on past the corner.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Worth,—had you thought that it might have been happening down here, right at the time we all sat at Tait's together? ”.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Worth”—I put it quietly—"what say I go to Santa Ysobel with you?
hvd.hnqirh	“ Would he have a big scar on his left cheek? ”"He would not, ” I said shortly.
hvd.hnqirh	“ Yeh, ” he assented absently,"she's good looking- but where did she learn to dress like that — and play the game?"
hvd.hnqirh	“ You been getting a place for Bowman, Cummings? ”: “ Certainly, ” the lawyer dodged with swift, practical neatness.
hvd.hnqirh	“ You'll do that, wo n't you, Barbara? ”"I had intended to.
hvd.hnqirh	“ You'll go with us to- morrow morning? ” She gave me one of those adorable smiles that brought the dimples momentarily in her cheeks.

mdp.39015003941856	Finished lunch?
mdp.39015003941856	Fly to London?
mdp.39015003941856	Got any keys on you? ” “ I do n't think so, ” said Paul.
mdp.39015003941856	Got that?
mdp.39015003941856	Had his mind become unhinged by his solitude?
mdp.39015003941856	Had n't you both better have some tea and hear my piteous story?
mdp.39015003941856	Have n't been in to see us lately, eh?
mdp.39015003941856	Have n't we all been doing the same thing for the past week? ” “ Speak for yourself, ” said Adelaide, holding out her plate.
mdp.39015003941856	He's doing some magnificent work — did you see any of it? ” Paul shook his head.
mdp.39015003941856	How annoyed Leech will be. ” “ Good Lord — d'you really think it was? ” “ Of course — and our Mr. Paleidos is obvi- ously a jewel fence.
mdp.39015003941856	How are you going to manage it? ” “ Would you care to come along?
mdp.39015003941856	How are you going to manage it? ” “ Would you care to come along?
mdp.39015003941856	How did one begin?
mdp.39015003941856	How soon can you be ready?
mdp.39015003941856	How were they managing to be so cheer- ful when things had taken on such a sinister appearance?
mdp.39015003941856	How's that? ” Benvenuto nodded.
mdp.39015003941856	I do n't see why one should dress the part, do you?
mdp.39015003941856	I have a distinct weakness for it myself — don't you ad- mire the allegorical painting of Hope following Appetite?
mdp.39015003941856	I like not to not oblige, but what will you?
mdp.39015003941856	I say, by the way, would you really like some cham- pagne? ” “ Oh my dear no.
mdp.39015003941856	I say, do you really paint? ” “ Why do you look so astonished? ” she laughed.
mdp.39015003941856	I say, do you really paint? ” “ Why do you look so astonished? ” she laughed.
mdp.39015003941856	I say, would n't you like to bathe soon? ” “ Rather.
mdp.39015003941856	I shall have to do a painting to- morrow, I know I shall. ” “ A painting? ” asked Paul in surprised tones.
mdp.39015003941856	I suppose, actu- ally, the French Riviera is about as exciting as Bath or Tunbridge Wells? ” “ That depends where you go.
mdp.39015003941856	I think there was a chambermaid coming out of one of the rooms. ” “ But no one you knew by sight? ” “ Certainly not.
mdp.39015003941856	I was staying at Green's. ” “ Did you see anyone when you left her room — in the corridor, for instance? ” “ No- not that I remember.
mdp.39015003941856	I22 T H E C R IM E COA ST “ What the devil do you want? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015003941856	In one place a blob of paint was running down the hot rock — of what did it remind him?
mdp.39015003941856	Is she the woman Adrian Kent got in such a mess over? ” Benvenuto nodded.
mdp.39015003941856	It begins to shape — but does it though?
mdp.39015003941856	It's a per- fectly sweet little alibi, is n't it? ” “ What time on Wednesday did you see him? ” said Paul, feeling like the complete detective.
mdp.39015003941856	It's a per- fectly sweet little alibi, is n't it? ” “ What time on Wednesday did you see him? ” said Paul, feeling like the complete detective.
mdp.39015003941856	Let's see — you're a bit conspicuous like that, are n't you? ” looking at Paul's essentially quiet gray- flannel suit.
mdp.39015003941856	May I look at it?
mdp.39015003941856	Mr. Ashby, will you have some of my Spanish brandy?
mdp.39015003941856	Must you go?
mdp.39015003941856	No?
mdp.39015003941856	Now I put it to you — wouldn't a business man have cut off hers? ” He glared fiercely round.
mdp.39015003941856	Now where's my little bit o'skirt gone?
mdp.39015003941856	Oh, Ben, what can we do?—how can we save him? ” “ Drink this brandy.
mdp.39015003941856	Oo are yer, anyway? ” “ Never mind about that.
mdp.39015003941856	Or was that all a dream, too?
mdp.39015003941856	Or will you tell me? ” “ Ben, you know? ” “ Yes. ” Adelaide dropped her head on her arms and sobbed.
mdp.39015003941856	Or will you tell me? ” “ Ben, you know? ” “ Yes. ” Adelaide dropped her head on her arms and sobbed.
mdp.39015003941856	Ought n't we to do some- thing?
mdp.39015003941856	Ought n't we to go and reassure them? ” Benvenuto looked at her wearily.
mdp.39015003941856	Poor old scoundrel — he did n't get much of a run for his money, did he?
mdp.39015003941856	Really we have a good time, do n't we, Paul?
mdp.39015003941856	Say what?
mdp.39015003941856	Shall I tell you?
mdp.39015003941856	She gave him a French cigarette from her case and then said: P. L. M. 4I “ Is that to- day's London paper you've got?
mdp.39015003941856	She told me nothing, nothing at all. ” “ You are sure? ” Adelaide stiffened.
mdp.39015003941856	Simply amazing the way it alters you. ” “ Well, you're looking rather dressy yourself, are n't you?
mdp.39015003941856	So then I got quite ecstatic and said how marvellous it would be, but how could it be done?
mdp.39015003941856	Suppose Adrian offered resistance — or worse, denied all knowledge of him and refused to move from his seat?
mdp.39015003941856	Supposing someone else had used Adrian Kent's name on the telephone in order to throw suspicion on him?
mdp.39015003941856	Tap- tap- TAP- TAP/ Could nothing save him?
mdp.39015003941856	The interpreter was unequal to this and said, “ Pardon? ” “ Seein ’ a bit of life, ” elaborated the host, raising his voice hoarsely.
mdp.39015003941856	Then, after consuming a mouthful of egg and bacon, “ Nice chap, is n't he? ” he said.
mdp.39015003941856	Then: “ Ah, young man, ” he said portentously, “ what is Truth? ” He turned to Adelaide, leaving Paul puzzled.
mdp.39015003941856	There was no car outside; who on earth could he be?
mdp.39015003941856	They hate our costumes, manners, and customs — so why not leave us alone?
mdp.39015003941856	They jump to the wrong conclu- sion, in fact, and what right have we to laugh at them?
mdp.39015003941856	Three hours to spare — what could one do in three hours?
mdp.39015003941856	To make confusion worse confounded — why had De Najera established an alibi if he had n't done it himself?
mdp.39015003941856	Want to come? ” Paul chuckled.
mdp.39015003941856	Was Ben- venuto trying to get hold of something to put the authorities off the scent while he got Adrian away into safety?
mdp.39015003941856	Was De Najera planning a get- away?
mdp.39015003941856	Was it a man or a woman?
mdp.39015003941856	Was it the light of the match — or had it a horrible deathly pallor?
mdp.39015003941856	Was it wet when you left England? ” Paul nodded.
mdp.39015003941856	Was n't I seeing what I ex- pected to see — jumping to conclusions?
mdp.39015003941856	Well, he saved you some trouble at the end, did n't he?
mdp.39015003941856	What are your con- clusions about all this money changing? ” “ Do n’t you think it looks as though he were planning a getaway? ” Paul asked.
mdp.39015003941856	What are your con- clusions about all this money changing? ” “ Do n’t you think it looks as though he were planning a getaway? ” Paul asked.
mdp.39015003941856	What d'you suppose is the matter? ” Benvenuto caught sight of her and grinned.
mdp.39015003941856	What had happened?
mdp.39015003941856	What is it now, grouse? ” Louis raised his eyes to heaven.
mdp.39015003941856	What was Benvenuto going to do?
mdp.39015003941856	What was she hiding?—what was there that she could n't tell them?
mdp.39015003941856	When I told her, she sounded very excited and said yes, she could. ” “ Was it Adrian speaking? ” “ No, it was someone speaking for him.
mdp.39015003941856	Why had she rushed away?
mdp.39015003941856	Why on earth was Benvenuto interested in the Slosher now — when Adelaide had made plain Adrian's guilt?
mdp.39015003941856	Why then, in heaven's name, was De Najera receiving money from him instead of paying it to him?
mdp.39015003941856	Why trouble to hide anything now? ” He relapsed into a gloomy silence.
mdp.39015003941856	Why was n't he able to flirt graciously with her?
mdp.39015003941856	Will you take the sheet? ” He clambered on board as she started the engine, and in a moment they were chug- chug- ging out of the little bay.
mdp.39015003941856	You heard what that Argentine fellow said about him to- night?
mdp.39015003941856	vous voulez boire?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Adrian Kent? ” he shouted.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Ah, mon vieux, vous allez bien? ” he roared, grasping his hand, and Paul saw to his great delight that he was wearing a flannel nightgown.
mdp.39015003941856	“ And what shall we do this morning? ” “ Oh, two of the usual, I think, Louis. ” He turned to Paul.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Are you going to bring him back here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Are you prepared to listen to a long story?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Ben, could n't you reproach me a bit? ” she said.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Ben, ought n't you to be in bed? ” Adelaide looked critically at him as he sat down beside her.
mdp.39015003941856	“ But may I ask y) “ Got a card on you? ” interrupted Benvenuto.
mdp.39015003941856	“ By what right, m'sieur, do you question me regarding my clients? ” he began, when Benve- nuto interrupted him savagely.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Ca n't go out for a minute — curse the girl — but what did I tell you?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Can I get you some more coffee?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Can you dive with your eyes open? ” she said.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Can you let me see that letter? ” She looked at him, startled.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Combien? ” he de- manded, and insult added to injury, found he had to part with an enormous sum.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Do n’t you think it's about time, my dear, ” he said gently, “ that you told me the truth? ” She sat very still, staring at him.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Do you paint, too? ” she asked.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Does Loty's bath powder mean anything to you?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Does anyone live out there? ” Adelaide shook her head.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Er — care to have a look at my papers while I ’m at dinner? ” “ Well, that's very kind of you.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Er — did you say his name was Benvenuto Brown? ” he asked her quietly.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Expecting me to take out my truncheon?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Got a match, Ashby? ” Paul struck a light and they made for the door of the salon.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Has n't she? ” Benvenuto answered abstract- edly.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Has the Open Season for Crooks recom- menced? ” she asked.
mdp.39015003941856	“ How about a whisky, sir? ” said Paul nerv- ously, rather at a loss as to how to deal with the situation.
mdp.39015003941856	“ How about going along to the Rendezvous Bar?
mdp.39015003941856	“ How's that? ” “ Charming, ” replied Paul, regarding him in some astonishment.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Hullo — all silent and all damned?
mdp.39015003941856	“ I did n't see him very clearly, ” said Paul, “ but was it — the Slosher? ” Benvenuto nodded.
mdp.39015003941856	“ I never done it — wajjer mean?
mdp.39015003941856	“ I take it you'd actually been there first? ” Benvenuto smiled back at her.
mdp.39015003941856	“ I ’d no idea taxi driving was so profitable. ” “ What happened? ” asked Paul.
mdp.39015003941856	“ If this chap De Najera did kill his sister, and it looks very like it, surely he would n't be going about giving parties and drinking in cafés?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Is n't this a wonderful place?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Look here — can you lunch on sandwiches?
mdp.39015003941856	“ My God — do you think he's killed himself? ” Benvenuto jumped up from the bed.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Never tasted absinthe, Paul?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Notice anything peculiar about them?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Oh, Ben, and I am so consumed with curiosity. ” “ What about? ” He paused a moment.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Smells good, does n't it? ” remarked Benve- nuto, pausing on his way to the stairs.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Stayin'in Marsails? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003941856	“ That's the perfect reaction, is n't it?
mdp.39015003941856	“ This is more like it, is n't it? ” she said.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Was that De Najera's plane that went up a few minutes ago? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015003941856	“ We all hate bankers, do n't we?
mdp.39015003941856	“ We're going straight to the gendarmerie — CHAPTER XVIII A NT I – C L IMAX “ My BLESSED children, what is the matter?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Well, my little white sheets are calling me, so allow me to wish you all a very good night — or morning, should I say?
mdp.39015003941856	“ What about Miss Moon? ” he said.
mdp.39015003941856	“ What do we do now — try the hotels? ” Benvenuto considered, and then said: “ I think on the whole we'll try the station again first.
mdp.39015003941856	“ What the devil for? ” “ I want to find our friend the Slosher.
mdp.39015003941856	“ What's up? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Who d'you mean? ” he demanded hoarsely.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Who entered the Signora's room between six and six- fifteen?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Why for our sakes? ” asked Adelaide quickly.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Why? ” Benvenuto shook his head at Paul.
mdp.39015003941856	“ Will a champagne cocktail suit you, Ashby?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Wo n't you have a cocktail, too, to wash away our stormy encounter? ” Paul gave in gladly; she was making a party of it, and, damn it, why not?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Wo n't you have a cocktail, too, to wash away our stormy encounter? ” Paul gave in gladly; she was making a party of it, and, damn it, why not?
mdp.39015003941856	“ Wot abaht painting the town pink ternight? ” he was saying expansively, as they got near enough to catch his words.
mdp.39015003941856	“ You must cultivate Tina. ” “ Her methods are rather — er — direct, are n't they? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015003941856	“ You see?
mdp.39015003941856	“ ‘ ’ Ere, ” he said, ‘ can you make out what this Jane is talking about?

hvd.hw1xz8	I did not notice. ” “ Not notice? ” in a tone of intense surprise. hvd.hw1xz8 I have nothing to say, Mr. Converse. ” “ Not even in the face of evidence seriously compromising Miss Westbrook?
hvd.hw1xz8	I suppose all this is necessary? ” “ It is, indeed. ” “ Well, I expected to see one of two young men.
hvd.hw1xz8	My business goes behind those years, ” he said;and if you please, it is none of yours. ” “ Indeed?

hvd.hw1xz8	Was it of this, ” she continued, “ that you talked to Charlotte Fairchild this morning? ” No doubt now why Joyce had inquired for him. hvd.hw1xz8 Was it your intention to send this letter to Señor de Sanchez? ” the examination proceeded.
hvd.hw1xz8	Well, Slade, ” she began, with unconscious but none the less galling patronage, “ what can I do for you? hvd.hw1xz8 What is it? ” the young man asked, breathlessly.
hvd.hw1xz8	Where did Doctor Westbrook usually keep this dagger, or paper- knife? ”. hvd.hw1xz8 '? ” But the Captain did not respond to the lawyer's banter- ing humor. hvd.hw1xz8 '” “ And now? ” She looked at him inquiringly. hvd.hw1xz8 ( 132) Cherchez la Femme “ What is it? ” demanded the Captain. hvd.hw1xz8 ( 188) A Door is OpenedMay my sister retire? ” asked Doctor Westbrook.

hvd.hw1xz8	( 232) “ Paquita — What Do You Spell? ”"Who?

hvd.hw1xz8	... And how am I to keep you informed on the march of events?
hvd.hw1xz8	... Could you recognize General Westbrook's voice? ” She smiled slightly, as though the question were amusingly reminiscent.
hvd.hw1xz8	... How's that? ” Miss Carter bestowed a hasty side- glance upon the night floor- walker.
hvd.hw1xz8	...'Suppose I did?'
hvd.hw1xz8	.... And have you had occasion to put a new point in it lately? ” Doctor Westbrook now did stop.
hvd.hw1xz8	.... What were you saying, Slade?
hvd.hw1xz8	A DUPLEX PROBLEM Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?
hvd.hw1xz8	A Door is Opened to move with the utmost caution, wherein we must rely solely upon our own judgment?
hvd.hw1xz8	After a silence which seemed to grow interminable, Doc- tor Westbrook cleared his throat, and hoarsely asked:“What do you wish?
hvd.hw1xz8	And Mr. Lynden's extreme agitation — what did that signify?
hvd.hw1xz8	And do you know who she is? ” Mr. Converse raised a protesting hand.
hvd.hw1xz8	And now, can all this be mere coincidence?
hvd.hw1xz8	And that man: what do you know of him? ” “ I am glad you asked this question, because it touches upon a point about which I wish to speak fully."
hvd.hw1xz8	And was the voice you heard last night General Westbrook's? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Do n't know?
hvd.hw1xz8	And was the voice you heard last night General Westbrook's? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Do n't know?
hvd.hw1xz8	And what hand was upon that pretty hilt when last it was held in anger?
hvd.hw1xz8	And what was there to show for it?
hvd.hw1xz8	And what's queer about that? ” McCaleb considered a minute.
hvd.hw1xz8	And who was this mysterious stranger?
hvd.hw1xz8	And who was — the — murderer? ” He spoke deliberately, his harsh voice lowering itself strangely.
hvd.hw1xz8	And why'a man'?
hvd.hw1xz8	And yet, after all, could it be possible that the momentous intelligence actually was there, and only human eyes were blind?
hvd.hw1xz8	Are these gentlemen trying to conceal anything?
hvd.hw1xz8	Are they shielding her for her sake or their own?
hvd.hw1xz8	Are you Mr. Vargas?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Are you ready?
hvd.hw1xz8	At what time did he call at your office? ” “ At about five- thirty or six o'clock. ”"Was he alone? ”"No, sir.
hvd.hw1xz8	At what time did he call at your office? ” “ At about five- thirty or six o'clock. ”"Was he alone? ”"No, sir.
hvd.hw1xz8	But how could this idea be reconciled with his wild words of death?
hvd.hw1xz8	But that dagger,'I said,'what does that mean?'
hvd.hw1xz8	But the truth is far from being so romantic; it is quite sordid, in fact. ” “ The truth?
hvd.hw1xz8	But what do mere denials amount to in the face of this suspicion?"
hvd.hw1xz8	But what does it mean?
hvd.hw1xz8	But what threatened General Westbrook?
hvd.hw1xz8	But where is the guest of this eerie banquet?
hvd.hw1xz8	But who threw it, and why was he there at that particular time?
hvd.hw1xz8	But why enlist the services of Señor Vargas, a stranger?
hvd.hw1xz8	But why should Mr. Converse's aspect abruptly become so grim and portentous?
hvd.hw1xz8	But why?
hvd.hw1xz8	But why?
hvd.hw1xz8	But, dearest, now — now, ” he came quickly close up to her, “ now can you make this confession and still hesi- tate?
hvd.hw1xz8	By the way, what time did he de- part?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Ca n't you hold the light a little more out of my eyes?
hvd.hw1xz8	Can you look at me and still say that any obstacle stands between us?
hvd.hw1xz8	Come now, what about it?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Come, now, who was with you? ” Still silence.
hvd.hw1xz8	Consider before you answer; will you give me your confidence?
hvd.hw1xz8	Converse asked:( 306] Opening Ways"If you had been familiar with the sound, could you have identified it?
hvd.hw1xz8	Converse sat quietly apprais- ing the young man; and at last he abruptly said: “ Would you like to go home? ”"I!
hvd.hw1xz8	Converse, is this confidence buried within your own bosom?
hvd.hw1xz8	Could any mortal — especially a woman — resist such an appeal?
hvd.hw1xz8	Could it have been your ‘ Silver Blade,'I wonder?
hvd.hw1xz8	Could she be present? ” He proceeded no further, when he noticed the Doctor shaking his head in a decided negative.
hvd.hw1xz8	De Sanchez, of course, is responsible for the first; but how about the other?
hvd.hw1xz8	Dear? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Did You Do This?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Did n't you see or hear some one else when the door was thrust wide open?
hvd.hw1xz8	Did the odor of stephanotis blind him utterly to the brother's and sister's grief?
hvd.hw1xz8	Did you do this? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Did you do this?'
hvd.hw1xz8	Did you ever hear of such pre- sumptuous conceit? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Did you hear no other foot- steps?
hvd.hw1xz8	Did you miss it from its accustomed place? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hw1xz8	Did you notice whether it was open or closed?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Did “ Paquita ” contain a hidden charm- some invisible potency — to guide the hand to its hideous, self- appointed task?
hvd.hw1xz8	Dispense with preliminaries; what do you want of me?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Do n't worry, Mrs. Westbrook; matters are not so bad as they appear just now. ” “ How can you prevent it? ” she demanded anxiously.
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you compre- hend that?
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you hear me?
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you mean Doctor Mobley Westbrook?
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you notice anything peculiar about the footmarks on the floor? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you recognize it?
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you see? ” Mountjoy, very grave now, merely nodded.
hvd.hw1xz8	Do you think Doctor Westbrook could have done it?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Does that explain anything? ” He regarded her with undisguised admiration.
hvd.hw1xz8	Does that strain your credulity?
hvd.hw1xz8	Does the circumstance tell you anything? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Drink and be merry, as the old saying is – Epicurus, eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	Error?
hvd.hw1xz8	Even before his finger had pressed the trigger, the silent death shot from my hand to his heart; yet, will you believe it, señores?
hvd.hw1xz8	First, do you know why she re- mained silent before my questions this morning? ” She lowered her head, and sat for a time in deep reflec- tion.
hvd.hw1xz8	Follett? ” he queried vaguely.
hvd.hw1xz8	Funny, war n't it?
hvd.hw1xz8	Great heavens, what did she mean?
hvd.hw1xz8	Had General Westbrook been seated at his desk writing when some midnight caller interrupted him?
hvd.hw1xz8	Had a conference then followed which crescendoed rapidly through the various stages of a quarrel, a verbis ad verbera, to a sudden resort to violence?
hvd.hw1xz8	Had every incident of the past half- hour been a dream?
hvd.hw1xz8	Had such been the case, how about Doctor Westbrook's state- ment that De Sanchez came on steadily to the reception- room door?
hvd.hw1xz8	Had the man committed suicide?
hvd.hw1xz8	Had the weapon been withdrawn from the wound? ”[ 20] Exit Señor de Sanchez The young man evinced unaccountable hesitancy.
hvd.hw1xz8	Has Vargas begun a little detective work on his own account?
hvd.hw1xz8	Has he been mur- dered?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Has not the entire matter become irrelevant?
hvd.hw1xz8	Has one of the shadows been summoned forth from the dismal chambers to share it?
hvd.hw1xz8	He is an important factor, however. ” His glance swerved to Joyce with a light that asked quite plainly, “ Is he not?"
hvd.hw1xz8	He — he — ” “ Which way was he facing? ” “ Straight ahead — toward the end of the hall.
hvd.hw1xz8	Hear from her what she has to say. ” “ Does your reticence include the interchange of messages between Miss Joyce and Mr. Fairchild? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Here was a confession of that gallant señor's infamy over his own signature; and what did I with it?
hvd.hw1xz8	How are we to account for his participa- tion in the crime?
hvd.hw1xz8	How can you account for the fact that his suit was not only favored, but that pressure was brought to bear upon Joyce to gain her consent?
hvd.hw1xz8	How could I refrain from thinking of it?
hvd.hw1xz8	How could human ingenuity supply an explanation for so incongruous a circumstance?
hvd.hw1xz8	How did they come by it?
hvd.hw1xz8	How ever in the world did you discover so many details?
hvd.hw1xz8	I also will be at — what you call la posado?
hvd.hw1xz8	I am relating them as briefly as possible; but they are necessary in leading[ 224] “ Paquita- What Do You Spell? ” up to my next question.
hvd.hw1xz8	I cried, holding the pretty toy in my hand, ‘ Paquita mia, how could you do me, your brother, this cruel wrong?'
hvd.hw1xz8	I cried,'What does this mean?'
hvd.hw1xz8	I do this?
hvd.hw1xz8	I had just finished a letter to no other than Señor de Sanchez himself. ” “ Is this it?"
hvd.hw1xz8	I left Barton to watch the house, and I came on to report. ” “ Very good. ” “ And what shall I do now? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	I should say now, as a guess, that one of the three times when you saw Miss Joyce was night before last, eh? ” “ Yes, sir, ” was the reply.
hvd.hw1xz8	I think the three of us most concerned will agree to that? ” He looked to Char- lotte and Clay, who nodded acquiescence.
hvd.hw1xz8	I wonder who she is? ” he added, musingly, and colored when Mr. Mountjoy laughed.
hvd.hw1xz8	If General Westbrook had been seated in the desk- chair, who had occupied this one so near the handily opened win- dow?
hvd.hw1xz8	If he did not know the woman — if what he had beheld behind the nearly closed door was only a shadow – why had he not said so at once?
hvd.hw1xz8	If so, she was reading the document — and what was its effect?
hvd.hw1xz8	If the situation is such that a full explanation can not be given, — tell me, is not our position onerous — unbearable?
hvd.hw1xz8	In the end he stammered[ 359] An Arrest “ Did you bring it? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	Is a prolongation of it a part of what I have to endure?
hvd.hw1xz8	Is his name to be smirched – to be dragged in the mire — now — now that he is dead? ” He considered his reply.
hvd.hw1xz8	Is it permissible to inquire what particular purpose you think I may serve? ” The inquiry was ignored.
hvd.hw1xz8	Is it some premonition of the truth that causes you to hesitate?
hvd.hw1xz8	Is it strange that I adored her?
hvd.hw1xz8	Is my father dead?
hvd.hw1xz8	Is n't it pretty plain she had some reason to be suspicious of the young lady's manquvres last night?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Is the loss irreparable?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Is there any attachment between your brother and Miss Westbrook? ” She regarded him with serious eyes.
hvd.hw1xz8	Is there any one in the city to whom you could ascribe a motive?
hvd.hw1xz8	Is this blank likely to be permanent? ” “ God knows that I hope not.
hvd.hw1xz8	It appears that he is in attendance upon some suburban pa- tient. ” “ Who discovered the tragedy? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	It is he, then, who has caused all this recent trouble?
hvd.hw1xz8	It was much to the same effect. ” “ Well? ” “ I told him to go to the devil.
hvd.hw1xz8	It was — ” “ Oh, not Joyce?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Maybe — if I had a lens — something more to go on — ” “ But is there nothing that particularly attracts your at- tention?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Mother an invalid?
hvd.hw1xz8	No footsteps in the hall?
hvd.hw1xz8	No... Paquita and...[ 175] The Silver Blade Was this a portion of the “ conjure paper ”?
hvd.hw1xz8	Nothing of that kind? ” Lynden shook his head.
hvd.hw1xz8	Now it introduced the response to his question, “ Do you think Doctor Westbrook could have done it? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Now then, question one: Did you ever hear of any other Paquita? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, from your association with Señor de Sanchez, do you know of any such person, or any such affair?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, may I suggest that you be seated?
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, what did you mean by that?-or rather, why did you make use of that par- ticular phrase in the sense you did?
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, what did you mean by that?-or rather, why did you make use of that par- ticular phrase in the sense you did?
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, what emotions would cause one to so maltreat a pen?
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, why did he turn off here?
hvd.hw1xz8	Now, why should you hesitate in regard to the weapon?
hvd.hw1xz8	On the other hand, De Sanchez( 394] The Silver Blade light- well?
hvd.hw1xz8	One of them, a lady, grabbed Mrs. Westbrook, and asked,'What is it, Lou?'
hvd.hw1xz8	Or could either your mother or Mr. Clay do so?
hvd.hw1xz8	Or did you pass a woman either in the hall or on the stairway? ”"Lady! ” the witness exclaimed.
hvd.hw1xz8	Paquita — what do you spell?
hvd.hw1xz8	People will say,'Slade?
hvd.hw1xz8	Polly Ann in- quired, anxiously: “ Is you a docteh? ” “ No, Aunty.
hvd.hw1xz8	Pres- ently she asked with bated breath: “ What will happen?
hvd.hw1xz8	Probably in a hurry; or else the bullet clipped him about that time — eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	Queer how them furriners can talk an'read some outlandish lingo an'not know good plain English, ai n't it?
hvd.hw1xz8	Question by the Coroner: “ Could you see the books on the evening of November fourth? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hw1xz8	Question:"Did Señor de Sanchez owe you anything at the time of his death?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Quien sabe? ” During this time General Westbrook was usually in the United States.
hvd.hw1xz8	Shall the door remain closed — or shall I open it? ” For one brief moment Joyce had all the appearance of some hunted thing hopelessly cornered.
hvd.hw1xz8	She seemed to be looking at or trying to see something about on a level with her head. ” “ On a level with her head, eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	Some of it is very valuable now, and the matter is worth looking into. ”"Indeed?
hvd.hw1xz8	Spanish, I suppose?
hvd.hw1xz8	Spy?
hvd.hw1xz8	Still tiptoeing, too — see?
hvd.hw1xz8	Suddenly becoming sensible of the fact that he was holding it in his hand, he exclaimed, “ You do n't think I stabbed him, do you?
hvd.hw1xz8	That leaves three, four, and five — were they open or closed? ” No one heard the reply.
hvd.hw1xz8	The latter looked up inquiringly, and, struck at once by the young man's appearance, asked with sudden sharpness: “ What's the matter?
hvd.hw1xz8	The main thing is, now, do you ” — he emphasized the pronoun – “ appreciate the seri- ousness of Miss Westbrook's position?
hvd.hw1xz8	The result has been somewhat queer; but we'll pass that up for the present. ” “ It's no easy matter just a- sortin'out the known facts, is it?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Then checking himself, he asked me, ‘ But who did?
hvd.hw1xz8	Then the one you did see — the fact of its being Mr. Lynden — removed a cause of worry? ”"You are correct.
hvd.hw1xz8	Then, what occasioned that suspicion?
hvd.hw1xz8	There was no light in that room. ” “ Had there been a person in Mr. Nettleton's private room at that time, could you have seen him?"
hvd.hw1xz8	There's a girl, too, is n't there?
hvd.hw1xz8	They asserted under oath that no woman was present; did they one and all perjure themselves?
hvd.hw1xz8	They will inevitably ruin her if she is not freed from them; and if it lies within our power to do so — do you hear me, Mobley?
hvd.hw1xz8	Time is of some moment now. ” “ I am to go? ” she returned, wide- eyed.
hvd.hw1xz8	To what mysterious depths of our being do they owe their source, and why is it customary to deride them?
hvd.hw1xz8	Understand? ” During the rest of that day Slade conducted himself like a man dazed.
hvd.hw1xz8	Was Joyce Westbrook the woman?
hvd.hw1xz8	Was is possible that the uncompromising attitude of this mere girl, and it alone, was responsible for the deadlock?
hvd.hw1xz8	Was it a stifled cry that had reached his ears?
hvd.hw1xz8	Was it light enough for you to see distinctly?
hvd.hw1xz8	Was it the herald of his wretched end?
hvd.hw1xz8	Was she anxious for an expression of his views upon this point?
hvd.hw1xz8	What are your wishes? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	What caused them?
hvd.hw1xz8	What could I do but deliver my testimony over to her?
hvd.hw1xz8	What could the absorbed reader conclude otherwise than that he had an even dozen terminations of the name De Sanchez?
hvd.hw1xz8	What did William Slade, son of a treacherous steward, want of her mother — the poor wreck of woman- hood who could bestow nothing?
hvd.hw1xz8	What do you know? ” As she awaited his reply her bosom- rose and fell tumultuously.
hvd.hw1xz8	What do you mean?
hvd.hw1xz8	What does this mean? ” He sat with his eyes glued upon it, the centre of a dumfounded group.
hvd.hw1xz8	What errand required such speed, and at such an hour?
hvd.hw1xz8	What has that horri- ble man done to frighten you so?
hvd.hw1xz8	What have you learned that has moved you to kindlier feelings? ” He spoke lightly; but there was an intelligible purpose in his concluding question.
hvd.hw1xz8	What have you to do with Charlotte? ” “ A good deal, young man.
hvd.hw1xz8	What in the world do you mean?"
hvd.hw1xz8	What is the use for me to say that Peyton Westbrook was a scoundrel, if I can not prove it?
hvd.hw1xz8	What may happen if I obey you?
hvd.hw1xz8	What next? ” “ Well, this black man brought the General a letter.
hvd.hw1xz8	What occasioned it? ”[ 105] The Silver Blade Doctor Westbrook frowned as at a disagreeable memory.
hvd.hw1xz8	What of her? ” “ Can you attend to what I say now? ” returned Converse.
hvd.hw1xz8	What of her? ” “ Can you attend to what I say now? ” returned Converse.
hvd.hw1xz8	What other name had completed the signature to the destroyed missive?
hvd.hw1xz8	What possible object could Howe have in doing so?
hvd.hw1xz8	What powerful motive had dictated to- night's intrusion?
hvd.hw1xz8	What reason have you had to consider the possibility at all, if some suspicion has not been engendered in your mind?
hvd.hw1xz8	What was I saying?
hvd.hw1xz8	What was it he dreaded?
hvd.hw1xz8	What was it he feared?
hvd.hw1xz8	What worried Doctor Westbrook?"
hvd.hw1xz8	When did you first hear me? ” “ I heard the door open, and next, you tiptoeing across the room.
hvd.hw1xz8	Whence come these pre- monitions of impending evil?
hvd.hw1xz8	Where can he be?
hvd.hw1xz8	Where is he?
hvd.hw1xz8	Where is the Mexican woman now, who smokes a cigarette while she waits for her victim?
hvd.hw1xz8	Where was it?
hvd.hw1xz8	Which was the first door you observed to be entirely closed? ”"That to number six. ” “ Was there a light in that room?."
hvd.hw1xz8	Which was the first door you observed to be entirely closed? ”"That to number six. ” “ Was there a light in that room?."
hvd.hw1xz8	Which way was she looking- up — down? ” “ Straight ahead, sir, — west.
hvd.hw1xz8	While you were returning from Mrs. Farquier's last night, why did you peer so closely into the darkness?
hvd.hw1xz8	Who do n't?'
hvd.hw1xz8	Who has been murdered?
hvd.hw1xz8	Who has betrayed you?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Who is your witness? ” Of a sudden McCaleb sprang toward them.
hvd.hw1xz8	Who should know better where he is than his sister? ”: “ Believe me, Mr. Converse,"she began quickly; but he held up a restraining hand.
hvd.hw1xz8	Who?
hvd.hw1xz8	Who? ” Converse queried bluntly.
hvd.hw1xz8	Whom were you expecting to see? ” A faint flicker of wonder penetrated the mask of her countenance, but quickly disappeared.
hvd.hw1xz8	Whose fingers had tightened slowly[ 60] Mr. Converse Appears as Chorus over the dainty feminine name, as the unsuspecting victim approached?
hvd.hw1xz8	Why did she not speak?
hvd.hw1xz8	Why do you delay? ” She thrust forward two little white hands, two slender wrists.
hvd.hw1xz8	Why do you draw so far away from me?
hvd.hw1xz8	Why do you stare at me so?'
hvd.hw1xz8	Why should Dr. Westbrook be so pale?
hvd.hw1xz8	Why should he make so obvious an attempt to divert suspicion from you?"
hvd.hw1xz8	Why should his face be so drawn?
hvd.hw1xz8	Why?
hvd.hw1xz8	Why? ” She advanced nearer and lowered her voice.
hvd.hw1xz8	Why? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	Will you have to go into the past record of Señor de Sanchez?
hvd.hw1xz8	Witness answered, with visible relief: “ I did. ”, “ How light was it?
hvd.hw1xz8	You began your work this morning — tell me, why do you torture me with this delay?
hvd.hw1xz8	You must believe, now, that I have worked untiringly – unceasingly — in this matter? ” “ I believe that, Mr.
hvd.hw1xz8	You must have seen; who was in the hall, man?'
hvd.hw1xz8	You say General Westbrook was innocent of any wrong- doing; how should you know?
hvd.hw1xz8	You will hear the dead vilified and yourselves damned roundly; but, dear me, what of that? ” he asked, cheerfully.
hvd.hw1xz8	You, Doctor? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	Your sister — ” “ Charlotte?
hvd.hw1xz8	[ 17] The Silver Blade “ You are Mr. J. Howard Lynden, are you not? ” he presently asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	[ 240] Miss Charlotte Becomes a Factor “ How can I tell now?
hvd.hw1xz8	and where you commonly kept it? ” “ Oh, yes.
hvd.hw1xz8	do you suppose me absolutely devoid of curiosity?"
hvd.hw1xz8	even now he may be assaulting the doctor – Mobley — do you hear me?
hvd.hw1xz8	he cried in a hurt tone, as though pained that I could entertain such a thought; “ is it possible you can so misconstrue my words?'
hvd.hw1xz8	he muttered, still eyeing me with that crafty look; “ suppose, now, that I did?
hvd.hw1xz8	how horrible! ” “ Error?
hvd.hw1xz8	is dat whut's de matteh? ” Then, in a hoarse whisper, “ Anything happen ter Docteh Mobley Wes’brook? ” she asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	is dat whut's de matteh? ” Then, in a hoarse whisper, “ Anything happen ter Docteh Mobley Wes’brook? ” she asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	or were the worry and the shadow still there?- Neither the District Attorney nor Mr. Converse could determine.
hvd.hw1xz8	thing happened to Mobley? ”"No, no; be assured.
hvd.hw1xz8	was he afraid he would betray some momentous secret, so that he did not talk like other people?
hvd.hw1xz8	what could that mean?
hvd.hw1xz8	why do you not place the hand- cuffs upon me, and drag me to prison?
hvd.hw1xz8	you do not doubt me? ” he cried.
hvd.hw1xz8	·"I suppose, ” said he, “ the door has not been locked this evening? ” The young man merely shook his head.
hvd.hw1xz8	— cold, callous, indifferent, incapable of any feeling? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	— or has any murder been done?
hvd.hw1xz8	— trouble?
hvd.hw1xz8	— who?"
hvd.hw1xz8	— whom?"
hvd.hw1xz8	— why, of all persons, to her?
hvd.hw1xz8	— will suffer for it. ” Still inflexibly barring the entrance: “ Do you mean that your errand concerns Clay?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ A friend?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ A knife?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ According to your statement — the man who was killed — will you repeat his name? ”"De Sanchez.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ After all, ” he began at length,"it's going to be a hard matter for me to tell you just what you ought to know. ” “ Why?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Again, Abram, would these complications involve the woman or some one else?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Ah, I see, ” McCaleb continued; “ General Westbrook nearly winged him, did n't he?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Ah, do you like that, now? ” rejoined Converse, with( 52) A Search for Clues the first display of enthusiasm he had yet shown.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Am I to suppose that I am under arrest also? ”"If you insist on leaving the room, yes, ” was the blunt answer.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ An audience? ” — the word caught —"a conference?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ An audience? ” — the word caught —"a conference?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ An officer? ” inquired Slade.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ And Miss Carter, I take it, heard something unusual last night — must have, to hold her attention, eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ And the murdered man? ” “ General Westbrook's friend, Señor de Sanchez."
hvd.hw1xz8	“ And this is what you discovered? ” said she.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ And why not? ” came the next question.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ And you saw and heard no one else? ” Mr. Merkel persisted.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ And you say these windows ca n't be seen from the street?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Are you familiar with many of the voices — of the old patrons, that is? ” he inquired.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ As he was leaving, De Sanchez said, You desire to know( 109) The Silver Blade more of my past relations with your honored father?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“ But Doctor Westbrook rather emphatically opposed it, did he not?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ But about Miss Carter, Henty,"said one of the voices; “ sure she did n't dream it after reading the papers this morn- ing? ” “ Oh, no.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ But he knew of it, did n't he?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ But this unknown woman?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ By way of the Doctor? ” the Captain added.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ By what? ” “ I can not say. ”"Was it a human form? ” Witness's voice was again becoming inaudible.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ By what? ” “ I can not say. ”"Was it a human form? ” Witness's voice was again becoming inaudible.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Can you find some excuse for knocking? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Can — can — you — you — can you save Joyce, ” she faltered, “ without dishonoring my — without dishonoring the dead? ” Could he?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Can — can — you — you — can you save Joyce, ” she faltered, “ without dishonoring my — without dishonoring the dead? ” Could he?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Charlotte, will you not stay?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Child, who was it?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Clancy, ” he asked, “ who's been sitting in that chair?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Clay? ” Dr. Westbrook returned.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Come, John, what have you discovered? ” he concluded more soberly.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Come, Miss,"he at last finished, “ if you do n't admit me you — your mother — your brother — your brother, eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Come, Mr. Lynden, ” said he,"was there not something about that form that struck you as being familiar?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Converse?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Coom een, ” he said, cordially; “ entre Ustedes — ah, Señor Nettletone — como está U sted?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Could the Doctor, then, have delivered the fatal thrust?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Did Joyce speak of that? ” was the unnecessarily cau- tious response.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Did he?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Did it occur to you that the unnamed lady was none other than Miss Westbrook? ” The lawyer looked his astonishment, but said nothing.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Did she steady her nerves and beguile the time until her victim's approach, with a cigarette?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Did you notice what colors?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Did you then ask what number was wanted?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Do you know or suspect an enemy in this country — here — or elsewhere?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Do you mean that I'm not wanted? ” “ Not here, at any rate.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Do you mean to say that a man was stabbed in the presence of Doctor Westbrook, and that he knows nothing about it? ” “ No – no.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Do you? ”"Mr. Converse,"her dignity was impressive, “ I have his word. ” Again he laughed.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Doctor Westbrook, do you mean? ” said Clay, surprised.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Does the name appear elsewhere besides on Doctor Westbrook's paper- knife? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ During the evening of No- vember fourth — Wednesday — were you not in the Nettle- ton Building? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Every one knows Mobley West- brook's character; would he do such a thing?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Fernando? ” Converse interpellated, sharply.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ General, did not Señor de Sanchez desire to marry your daughter? ” “ He did. ” “ With your approval, of course?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ General, did not Señor de Sanchez desire to marry your daughter? ” “ He did. ” “ With your approval, of course?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Going to start a private agency, eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Has there been anything betwixt him and the Fairchilds since, besides him now ownin'their old home an'lettin'it go to rack an'ruin? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Have I not loved you since the day you were born?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Have the ashes from the kitchen been dumped here since you cleaned the library grate last? ” Converse inquired.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ He must have come in while you were in the light- well. ” “ He?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ How about that man — the Mexican — Vargas?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ How came you here and in this plight? ” It was Señor Vargas.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ How is Miss Joyce?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ How long is this absence to continue?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Howe, where were you? ” The man, who apparently had been a stranger to every- body in the room, now advanced.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ I have not. ” But was that an expression of relief that hid the worry in his eyes, that lightened the shadow on his face?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ I know you have been terribly troubled, ” she went on, evenly;"but have you been afraid of me, Mobley? ”"My God, Charlotte, no!
hvd.hw1xz8	“ I must ask you to recollect carefully, Mr. Lynden: Was there a lady – a woman — in the hall?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ I suppose it was a man? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ I suppose this is the one General Westbrook was using? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ I suppose you have seen the extra edition of the Her- ald? ” the latter asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ If you will be seated for a few minutes-"he added; but she again interrupted: “ Tell me — at once-- what wrong has my husband done?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ In Mexico? ” he asked, quickly.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Indeed? ” with ingenu- ous surprise.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Is Doctor Westbrook here? ”[ 140] The Second Problem “ No, sir; but efforts are being exerted to find him.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Is it so seri- ous?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Is it you, Captain Converse? ” the rider began, breath- lessly.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Is this the dagger? ” “ That is the one that lay on Doctor Westbrook's table- his paper- knife.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ It is agreed, then, that I shall read this aloud? ” he asked, looking from one to the other.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ It was so remarkable — I was so overcome — that I simply sat there listening. ” “ Did you hear anything more?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ It was — it was — I mean- good God, what do I mean?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ It's just this: they have reason to suspect that the woman is mixed up some way in the matter; but how?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Love him?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ May I ask you a question?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Miss Charlotte, is it not?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Miss Westbrook wrote it?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Miss Westbrook, I would not presume to advise you, but you are wrong, wrong — and how can I convince you?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Miss Westbrook, ” said he, “ is it of any use for me to make another appeal to you?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Mobley?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Mon, whut yer do ter Miss Cha’lotte?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Murder? ” querulously, and with no show of interest.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ My God! ” he exclaimed, “ do n't I know it?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ My sister? ” he repeated; “ Joyce?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ My sister? ” he repeated; “ Joyce?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Next, what night was it?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Not another sound?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Not yourself? ” Clancy cast an appreciative glance at the comfortable Morris chair, and then one of contempt at the less inviting seat.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Oh, I have no statement to make; why should I?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Oh, I knew it was very, very wrong, ” she cried, sorely troubled at his obvious dismay; “ but what could I do?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Oh, why does not Mr. Converse return?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Oh, yes, seh; she suttenly did. ” “ How do you know that?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ PAQUITA — What Do You SPELL? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Paquita and — ” whom?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Pardon me, ” he began, “ but if the question is not pre- mature, are you able to form a theory?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Pray, sir, how long is this suspense to continue?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Serious?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Silent and enigmatical servant of Destiny, who knows what momentous knowledge is hidden behind that impassive exterior?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ So Miss Westbrook came upstairs before entering the library?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ So that is yours? ” the Coroner soberly asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ So they have sent you, have they?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ So this is your revenge, is it?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Tell me plainly, Mr. Converse — is this the — the trouble?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Tell me, Miss Westbrook, were you alone? ” The lovely, subdued eyes flashed forth a startled look; but Joyce made no reply.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Tell me, ” Lynden insisted with furious vehemence, “ what does this mean?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ That damn'Peyton Wes'brook; he's a ghos', hey?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ That is Miss Westbrook's bedroom. ”[ 253) The Silver Blade “ Yes?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ That was on — let me see, what night was it? ” he inquired.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ The Doctor is a strong, vigorous man, is n't he?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ The mother instead of the daughter; now, what does that mean? ” he observed, mentally.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ The next door you noticed to be closed — which was it? ” “ The regular offices of the Guaranty Trust Company."
hvd.hw1xz8	“ The next? ” He moistened his lips, and his voice was barely audible.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ This is not the ghost of Fernando del Castillo, señor,'I said;'perhaps it would be pleasanter for you if it were — si?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Three times? ” “ Yes — ” But Charlotte's gentle voice interrupted.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Touch you, you filthy thing?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Was any one else present, Doctor? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Was number four open?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Was there a light in that room?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Was there then a thought of Paquita — of Fernando del Castillo in his mind?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ We may presume, then, that she was not in complete sympathy with the idea?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ We nearly made a mess of it, did n't we?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Well, Adams? ” said he.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Well?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Well?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Well?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Were you satisfied with such an arrangement? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What did the man look like?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What do you do with the ashes, Sam?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What do you mean, McCaleb? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What do you think? ” asked Mountjoy.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What do you want?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What does he want?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What does the creature say?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What else? ” “ What became of that document?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What else? ” “ What became of that document?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What emotions stirred uneasily in that dark bosom, señores?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What fo'she ax me'bout her pa, if she done been in de lib’ry?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is it you want? ” she asked over one shoulder, and almost in a whisper.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is it?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is it?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is it? ” she asked.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is that perfume? ” he demanded sharply.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is that?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What is? ” “ Why, the way noises act here.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What kept you so long?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What of the weapon – was it a knife — sword — axe — hatchet?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What then? ” “ Why — why — he all at once became terrified at some- thing in front of him.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What time that night?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What time was that murder? ” asked the abstracter.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What was it Howard Lynden was afraid of betraying? ” continued Mr. Converse, warming to his subject.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What was it Mr. Ferdinand Howe was afraid of betraying?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What — what do you know of him? ” she demanded in a hoarse, distressed whisper.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What's that, McCaleb?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“ What, Mrs. Westbrook?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Where?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who can give me young Mr. Fairchild's address?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who in the city can write such a hand? ” he mused.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who is the murderer?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who is your witness? ” For once his eyes had ceased to rove; they were held by Charlotte's — hypnotized by their compelling magnetism.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who is your witness? ” She was apparently oblivious of the little by- play.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who is your witness? ” she repeated, sternly — not to be denied.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Who — who — Good God, what are you?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Why should you ask that? ” He waved the question to one side.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Would you mind doing so?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Yes. ” “ And Mrs. Westbrook's? ” “ Certainly, ” returned the witness, with a mild expres- sion of astonishment.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Yes. ” “ Well, are they?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ Yes. ”( 07) The Silver Blade “ Did you observe any shadow on the door? ” “ No."
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You are familiar with the saying about one convinced against his will, eh?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You are sure you can trust me now, Miss Westbrook?"
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You are thinking of the reward?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You attach no importance to it, do you?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You did n't let it go at that, I suppose?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You did not know, of course, that Slade witnessed her departure from the Nettleton Building? ”.
hvd.hw1xz8	“ You think I am a strange woman, do you not?
hvd.hw1xz8	“ “ Was that a shot?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“'And do you think now that I could see Joyce go to such a man?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“'Do you contemplate murder?'
hvd.hw1xz8	“'Otherwise?'
hvd.hw1xz8	” What, indeed?
hvd.hw1xz8	” inquired the lawyer, mildly, in his precise way, “ to see to the braying of the trumpets and the clashing of the cymbals?"
hvd.hw1xz8	” “ I believe he was not very successful in concealing his feelings. ” “ Will you repeat what Doctor Westbrook said on that occasion?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did you go to Flint House? ” he asked sharply. hvd.hnp8kv Had n't you some idea that the marks on the arm might have been caused by the removal of the body into the next room?"
hvd.hnp8kv	He's come back, Thalassa — he's come back. ” “ He? hvd.hnp8kv How can you be Remington?'
hvd.hnp8kv	How did you get in?
hvd.hnp8kv	How do you account for the two forms of spelling your family name? ” observed Dr. Ravenshaw. hvd.hnp8kv In any case the present claim could not be gone on with, could it? ” THE MOON ROCK 175 “ No.
hvd.hnp8kv	Is it still your opinion that Miss Turold is guilty- after this letter? ” he asked. hvd.hnp8kv Is it the Cornish savage from the churchtown — him with the straw helmit? ” said Thalassa, with a harsh laugh.
hvd.hnp8kv	Luggage, miss, in the van? ” he asked. hvd.hnp8kv Surely you notice the passengers you carry? ” Mr.
hvd.hnp8kv	What do you mean? hvd.hnp8kv What do you want to know? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	What do you want? ” he said. hvd.hnp8kv Why did you go away from Cornwall with- out a word?
hvd.hnp8kv	Your brother is dead. ” “ Dead? hvd.hnp8kv Your husband is upstairs? ” he asked in a voice which was little more than a whisper.
hvd.hnp8kv	'A little while?"
hvd.hnp8kv	'And did you see him — your uncle?'
hvd.hnp8kv	'What young woman was that?'
hvd.hnp8kv	178 THE MOON ROCK “ Is this all you wanted to show me? ” Mr. Brims- down hinted.
hvd.hnp8kv	186 TH THE MOON ROCK “ Was Charles Turold showing you the marks when I found you in the other room?"
hvd.hnp8kv	270 THE MOON ROCK “ Is that all? ” Bitter disappointment rang in Charles's voice.
hvd.hnp8kv	300 THE MOON ROCK 301 “ Do you propose to tell me the truth? ” he asked, with a slight cynical emphasis on the last word.
hvd.hnp8kv	62- THE MOON ROCK “ Are you going to leave him there like that? ” whispered Mrs. Pendleton.
hvd.hnp8kv	A ghost?
hvd.hnp8kv	A warning obviously — but a warning for what purpose?
hvd.hnp8kv	A woman can inherit the throne of England, so why not a title?
hvd.hnp8kv	After all, what's a con- science to a liver?
hvd.hnp8kv	Again — what things?
hvd.hnp8kv	All the facts — but what were they?
hvd.hnp8kv	And Sisily?
hvd.hnp8kv	And afterwards?
hvd.hnp8kv	And do you knaw, I declare to gudeness she never said nawthen, not so much as a word! ”"Perhaps she was dumb? ” Barrant suggested.
hvd.hnp8kv	And he left the room. ” “ What time did you reach Flint House that night?"
hvd.hnp8kv	And the noises?
hvd.hnp8kv	And was that after or before he was shot, or shot himself?
hvd.hnp8kv	And whose footsteps had she heard?
hvd.hnp8kv	Anything which has not been brought to light, I mean? ” Mrs. Pendleton proceeded to give her reasons.
hvd.hnp8kv	Are the works intricate?
hvd.hnp8kv	Are you aware that there were nearly four thousand names in the last Royal bestowal of Orders of the British Empire?
hvd.hnp8kv	As he did not speak she broke the silence in a low tone “ What do you wish to say to me?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Barrant picked it up, glanced at it, and said: “ Is your son likely to be there? ” “ He may be, but he said nothing to me about going there.
hvd.hnp8kv	Before the waar I've had London ladies say to me: “'Ave you ever seen the Bay of Naples, or the Canaries?
hvd.hnp8kv	Besides, had I not seen that horrible old man- servant glaring through the door?
hvd.hnp8kv	Besides, there was aik pirit lurking in opposite with there they help?
hvd.hnp8kv	Brimsdown? ” she said.
hvd.hnp8kv	But did not your brother confide this story to you before yesterday?"
hvd.hnp8kv	But how can I help you? ” She had anticipated that question, and proceeded to unfold her plan.
hvd.hnp8kv	But how did Austin Turold come to know that his brother kept his will in the clock- case?
hvd.hnp8kv	But how?
hvd.hnp8kv	But if I had only known- if I could have foreseen...""Mr. Turold's death? ” said Mr. Brimsdown, filling in the pause.
hvd.hnp8kv	But if it was excluded, how was the silence of Thalassa to be explained?
hvd.hnp8kv	But is there any need for this to be known?
hvd.hnp8kv	But that stupid old fule Garge pulled up as usual and bawls through the window,'Are you going to keep me here all night, Peter?'
hvd.hnp8kv	But what else had she heard?
hvd.hnp8kv	But what has that got to do with it?"
hvd.hnp8kv	But what was the good of that?
hvd.hnp8kv	But what's to come next?
hvd.hnp8kv	But who is to tell her the truth?
hvd.hnp8kv	But who would find the way to such a lonely spot to commit murder, if murder had been committed?
hvd.hnp8kv	But why had she delayed so long?
hvd.hnp8kv	But why should Thalassa spring on his master in maniacal excitement?
hvd.hnp8kv	CHAPTER X WAT HY should Robert commit suicide?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Can I get a conveyance back to Penzance? ” 108 THE MOON ROCK “ There is a public wagonette.
hvd.hnp8kv	Can I stop here for a bit?
hvd.hnp8kv	Can not it be proved? ”"I could tell them when you left, ” he said in a low tone.
hvd.hnp8kv	Can you conceive of any reason?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Can you explain that? ” “ How can I explain what I do not know? ” Charles was silent for a moment, then added bitterly.
hvd.hnp8kv	Can you explain that? ” “ How can I explain what I do not know? ” Charles was silent for a moment, then added bitterly.
hvd.hnp8kv	Can you tell me if the brothers were on good terms?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Come to think of it, though, some- body did get out at the cross- roads last night. ” “ A man or woman? ” asked Barrant with eagerness.
hvd.hnp8kv	Come, what are you afraid of?
hvd.hnp8kv	Could anybody else have posted it?
hvd.hnp8kv	Could his late master have gone there to post it that night?
hvd.hnp8kv	Could it be that he was mis- taken, that his fears were imaginary?
hvd.hnp8kv	Could the unexpected appearance of his daughter have startled him in that fashion?
hvd.hnp8kv	Crows, with the air of one propounding an in- soluble riddle, asked his fare why should he take notice of his passergers?
hvd.hnp8kv	Diamonds they were after?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did Robert tell him, or did he find it out?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did Thalassa hold his master in a grim clutch while the girl took the revolver out of the drawer and shot him?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did he fear anybody? ” She raised thoughtful eyes to his in reply.
hvd.hnp8kv	Did he wish for me?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did his father share his secret knowledge?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did she know or guess something of the hidden events of that night, or had she played the spy since?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did somebody send for you?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did you call down Heaven's vengeance on the murderer in approved fashion?
hvd.hnp8kv	Did you ever observe this peculiarity in him? ” “ I have observed that he used to walk at a quick pace."
hvd.hnp8kv	Did you notice that she did not speak a word during dinner? ”"Perhaps she was overcome with grief, my dear. ” “ Nonsense!
hvd.hnp8kv	Did your brother confide the information to you beforehand- before his public announcement, I mean?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you know anything about the brother? ” “ I know nothing personally.
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you not agree with me, Austin? ” “ Do not ask my opinion,"his brother coldly re- plied.
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you not think my plan a good one?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you remember the disclosure he made to us this afternoon?
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you suppose he could climb up here from outside? ”"It might have been his spirit, ” murmured the other.
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you suppose you can go off to London like this, leaving me here alone, at such a moment?
hvd.hnp8kv	Do you think more of your own skin than her safety?
hvd.hnp8kv	Does not your daughter succeed you if you gain it, and not your brother? ” “ No, ” replied Robert Turold.
hvd.hnp8kv	For I suppose she must be told? ” “ I want you to tell her, ” said Robert Turold.
hvd.hnp8kv	For what?
hvd.hnp8kv	Good- bye. ” “ Is it good- bye, then? ”"It must be.
hvd.hnp8kv	Had Fate decreed her or- iginal mistake of taking a return ticket when she needed only a single one?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had he any grudge against his master? ” “ Thalassa?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had he any grudge against his master? ” “ Thalassa?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had he followed her?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had he forgotten about the cursed Jew who got a hundred pounds out of them?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had he really seen anything, after all?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had she really heard a footstep?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had somebody called her name?
hvd.hnp8kv	Had the cry come from there?
hvd.hnp8kv	Hark, what was that? ” The girl spoke with a sudden uplifting of her head.
hvd.hnp8kv	Has somebody fallen off the cliffs- been drowned?
hvd.hnp8kv	Have you any idea — the faintest suspicion?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Have you anything to support it?
hvd.hnp8kv	Have you no idea where your niece is likely to have sought refuge? ” Mrs. Pendleton shook her head.
hvd.hnp8kv	Have you those sheets of unfinished writing which were found in Robert Turold's study? ” Dawfield produced two sheets of foolscap from his desk.
hvd.hnp8kv	Have you told Sisily? ” be aliinly shouteplied on would be you to THE MOON ROCK 83 “ Yes.
hvd.hnp8kv	He asked him- self with aching heart what was to be the outcome of it all?
hvd.hnp8kv	He glanced up expectantly, and his lips formed one word “ Well?"
hvd.hnp8kv	He is mixed up in it in some way. ” “ Oh, why do you think that?"
hvd.hnp8kv	He may have suffered from agora- phobia. ” “ What is that?"
hvd.hnp8kv	He says he was in the coal cellar when his master met"That I could get nothingil ar when his m THE MOON ROCK 161 Didat took pla Some seconds?
hvd.hnp8kv	He was — what was the phrase? — wanted by the police.
hvd.hnp8kv	How can he have come back?
hvd.hnp8kv	How could I know that unless I'd seen her? ” “ What else?"
hvd.hnp8kv	How could I know that unless I'd seen her? ” “ What else?"
hvd.hnp8kv	How could a rough seaman like himself, who could hardly write his own name, turn the stones into the large sum of money they represented?
hvd.hnp8kv	How did it happen?
hvd.hnp8kv	How did the man of parchments take it? ” 210 THE MOON ROCK “ You have no heart,"said his son, flushing darkly under this sarcasm.
hvd.hnp8kv	How did ye get away from the island? ” Ravenshaw raised his head to reply, then stood mute, in a listening attitude.
hvd.hnp8kv	How far away is this place?"
hvd.hnp8kv	How had he found out the two facts?
hvd.hnp8kv	How long has this man been in your brother's employ?"
hvd.hnp8kv	How often must I tell you that he is dead? ” “ You mean that you thought he was dead, Thalassa.
hvd.hnp8kv	How was he to instil belief that he spoke the truth?
hvd.hnp8kv	How, then, could you have killed Robert?
hvd.hnp8kv	However, there it was. ” “ And do you think that after all these years, Rem- ington is really alive? ” said Charles, looking at him earnestly.
hvd.hnp8kv	I am in- vestigating the case. ” “ Yes?"
hvd.hnp8kv	I am very sorry that he did n't. ” “ Do you know how long your brother has been aware of this earlier marriage?"
hvd.hnp8kv	I work for the Duchy, I do, which is almost the same as being in Guvverment, ai n't it?
hvd.hnp8kv	I'm to say what you want to save it?
hvd.hnp8kv	I've been thinking it all over, and I'm half sorry now that I consented to take charge of her. ” “ Then why do it? ” said her husband placidly.
hvd.hnp8kv	If he had been murdered, as in the first flush of her indignation she had declared, who had killed him?
hvd.hnp8kv	If he was not a detective, why was he watching him?
hvd.hnp8kv	If it was not Thalassa, who could it have been?
hvd.hnp8kv	If so, how did she escape from the room and leave the door locked inside?
hvd.hnp8kv	Is it logical to suppose that he would terminate all these plans and ambitions by destroying himself?
hvd.hnp8kv	Is she mistaken in you, Thalassa?
hvd.hnp8kv	Is she upstairs in her room, Robert?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Is that it?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Is that plain enough? ” “ Quite.
hvd.hnp8kv	Is that what brought you here?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Is there anything wrong? ” “ That's what I do n't know.
hvd.hnp8kv	It was a house, and it was furnished; what more was THE MOON ROCK 27 necessary?
hvd.hnp8kv	It was dusk, and she could not see my face, but she heard my startled ex- clamation — Married?
hvd.hnp8kv	Just as he turned 288 THE MOON ROCK “ Whom did my uncle marry? ” asked Charles.
hvd.hnp8kv	Let'em set in the dark. ” “ Not enough passengers, eh? ” “ Moren enough fat old wommen on the out journey,"declared Mr.
hvd.hnp8kv	Life had receded from us — what had we to do with its fever, its regrets, its passions and futile joys?
hvd.hnp8kv	May I ask the reason of these questions, Detective Barrant? ” Barrant did not choose to reply.
hvd.hnp8kv	Next morning I found the front room window wide open. ” “ Were there any footprints outside the window?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Oh, can not they believe that?
hvd.hnp8kv	Once more, will you tell me the truth? ” “ I've told you all I know."
hvd.hnp8kv	One more question he es- sayed- “ Can you tell me where Miss Turold is to be found? ” “ I know, but I am not going to tell you."
hvd.hnp8kv	Ought I to go down?
hvd.hnp8kv	Pendleton, will you wait downstairs while we investigate? ” suggested Dr. Ravenshaw.
hvd.hnp8kv	Perhaps his last thought was to indicate the name of the murderer on the white face of the clock. ” “ In his blood?
hvd.hnp8kv	Prospector's license- a schurfschein?
hvd.hnp8kv	Really, Detective Barrant, may I constrain you to give me some explanation of all this?
hvd.hnp8kv	Robert can well afford it. ” “ Do you think your brother Austin would agree? ” “ Of course he would n't.
hvd.hnp8kv	She thought it called her name, Ah, what was that cry?
hvd.hnp8kv	She was in bed and asleep. ” “ Are you sure you did n't dream this? ” Mr. Brims- down asked, with a shrewd penetrating glance.
hvd.hnp8kv	So I just says to her,'Good ebenin', miss, are you waitin'for the wagonette too?'
hvd.hnp8kv	So I leant across to her an'says,'Caan't you say a word, miss?
hvd.hnp8kv	Some- thing has happened to your father. ” “ What has happened?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Suppose it was her husband, after all?
hvd.hnp8kv	Surely that is enough? ” “ This is not a straightforward case.
hvd.hnp8kv	THE MOON ROCK 201 “ You are the late Mr. Turold's legal adviser?"
hvd.hnp8kv	THE MOON ROCK 271 Suppose she is caught and tried and condemned, Tha- lassa?
hvd.hnp8kv	Tha- lassa posted that letter. ” “ Did he tell you so? ” asked Barrant quickly.
hvd.hnp8kv	Thalassa knew more than he had yet revealed, but what did he know?
hvd.hnp8kv	Thalassa secured his license and went"pros- pecting. ” “ Dost a'know anything about diamonds- digging for them? ” he broke off to ask.
hvd.hnp8kv	Thalassa's brown cheek paled slightly, but he an- swered quickly and roughly- “ What nonsense are you talking now?
hvd.hnp8kv	Thalassa”-he spoke more gently—“will you try and understand me? ” “ Red on black.
hvd.hnp8kv	That read like the advertisement of a Cheapside tailor — what was a gentlemanly ap- pearance, if he had it?
hvd.hnp8kv	That's rather a cyni- cal name for a Cornish inn, is n't it? ” “ Oh, the Cornish people are not ashamed of the old wrecking days, I assure you."
hvd.hnp8kv	That's the formula, is n't it, or something to that effect?
hvd.hnp8kv	The door was partly opened, and Thalassa's voice from within parleyed: “ Who's there? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hnp8kv	The great point is — where are the proofs?
hvd.hnp8kv	The lamp and the footstep — what did they mean?
hvd.hnp8kv	The point is, is it suspicious enough to upset the theory of suicide?
hvd.hnp8kv	The question remained, what was to be done?
hvd.hnp8kv	There's nathin'to beat it in the world. ”"It's good, is it? ” said Barrant, with his accustomed affability to strangers.
hvd.hnp8kv	These were facts which could not be gainsaid, but where did they lead?
hvd.hnp8kv	This servant with the strange name — Thalassa, is it?"
hvd.hnp8kv	To secure the revolver to shoot him?
hvd.hnp8kv	To see Thalassa, as he said, in order to try and get at the truth?
hvd.hnp8kv	To whom?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was Austin aware of the contents of the will?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was Charles dead?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was he afraid?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was he going to go back to her penniless?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was he in to supper? ” Austin reflected rapidly.
hvd.hnp8kv	Was he to fail, now, after finding Sisily?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was he?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was his idea to destroy the will?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was it conceivable that Robert Turold would break off in the middle of a sentence, in the middle of a word, and shoot himself?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was it grief for his wife? ” His face showed unusual agitation- distress even.
hvd.hnp8kv	Was it really his daughter?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was it the attitude of a man who had committed suicide?
hvd.hnp8kv	Was my brother quite dead when you found him?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Was there some trap about it, some danger to himself?
hvd.hnp8kv	Were they real, or had she imagined them?
hvd.hnp8kv	Were they?
hvd.hnp8kv	What about the key? ” 304 THE MOON ROCK “ The key?"
hvd.hnp8kv	What about the key? ” 304 THE MOON ROCK “ The key?"
hvd.hnp8kv	What can I tell you?"
hvd.hnp8kv	What did Charles Turold know?
hvd.hnp8kv	What did she suspect?
hvd.hnp8kv	What did that diabolical female know, really?
hvd.hnp8kv	What did these things mean, and what was to be the end?
hvd.hnp8kv	What did you 264 THE MOON ROCK find when you returned?
hvd.hnp8kv	What do you mean? ” “ I heard his footsteps pattering around the house, as clear and distinct as that night on that hellish island.
hvd.hnp8kv	What do you think of it? ” “ It sounds convincing enough."
hvd.hnp8kv	What does that mean — now? ” But he under- estimated Barrant's intelligence.
hvd.hnp8kv	What else is there to say, when she's told you everything?"
hvd.hnp8kv	What had brought him back?
hvd.hnp8kv	What had brought the clock down, and why had Robert Turold fallen almost on top of it, his outstretched hands resting on the dial?
hvd.hnp8kv	What had he to say about hood clocks?
hvd.hnp8kv	What had made it flare up like that and go out?
hvd.hnp8kv	What had the police discovered about him?
hvd.hnp8kv	What happened afterwards?
hvd.hnp8kv	What happened during that interview?
hvd.hnp8kv	What inference was to be drawn from that?
hvd.hnp8kv	What is Justice?
hvd.hnp8kv	What is her name? ” “ I have made a mistake, I am afraid."
hvd.hnp8kv	What is human retribution to the ferocity of Time's revenge on us all?
hvd.hnp8kv	What is the object of this visit?
hvd.hnp8kv	What is this shameful secret to which you refer? ” Austin Turold looked surprised in his turn.
hvd.hnp8kv	What name, please? ” “ No name.
hvd.hnp8kv	What sent your wife mad?
hvd.hnp8kv	What then?
hvd.hnp8kv	What then?
hvd.hnp8kv	What then?
hvd.hnp8kv	What took Robert Turold to the clock in his dying moments?
hvd.hnp8kv	What took place in that brief yet vital space of time?
hvd.hnp8kv	What was his share in the business?
hvd.hnp8kv	What was the explanation of the letter?
hvd.hnp8kv	What was the good of his own efforts to help her?
hvd.hnp8kv	What was to hap- pen then?
hvd.hnp8kv	What was to prevent him getting the diamonds on his own account, without sharing with anybody?
hvd.hnp8kv	What will? ” interrupted the lawyer testily.
hvd.hnp8kv	When he found him, but where was he to be found?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where had they gone to?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where has he gone? ”"I do n't know.
hvd.hnp8kv	Where to com- mence?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where was Jasper, and why did he not return?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where was Thalassa?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where was his wife?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where was the nearest pillar box?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where, then, were they to look for hope?
hvd.hnp8kv	Where?
hvd.hnp8kv	Who could have dropped it there except you? ” “'Tweren't me.
hvd.hnp8kv	Who could have foreseen this tragic event? ” “ Do you know anything about this peerage? ” “ Not till latterly.
hvd.hnp8kv	Who could have foreseen this tragic event? ” “ Do you know anything about this peerage? ” “ Not till latterly.
hvd.hnp8kv	Who could it be?
hvd.hnp8kv	Who had gone to the lonely old house in the darkness of the night, and struck him down?
hvd.hnp8kv	Who is to judge when the scales are even?
hvd.hnp8kv	Who? ” “ You know whom I mean well enough.
hvd.hnp8kv	Why are you so ele- mentary?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why did I not know of this before?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why did Robert go to the clock?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why did he want to bring two strangers into the business?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why did you think about that?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Why do n't you look what yer doin'when givin'up yer ticket?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why had she not come to him with her story, and asked for money to shut her mouth?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why had she not waited to make sure that she was followed?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why in the name of heaven had this Brierly woman been such a fool?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why indeed?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why not go to them?"
hvd.hnp8kv	Why should I look at a lot of fat old wommen?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why should Robert commit suicide?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why should a man who spent half his lifetime putting together a clock presume to tell his fellow creatures to make the most of the passing hour?
hvd.hnp8kv	Why was she sobbing and snivel- ling downstairs now, when it was too late?
hvd.hnp8kv	Will you be at your hotel? ” “ If not, I will leave word where I can be found,"replied Mrs. Pendleton, rising as she spoke.
hvd.hnp8kv	Will you come? ” “ Of course, ” he began again, in a different tone, as she still kept silent, “ it may be that I have misunder- stood.
hvd.hnp8kv	Would it help Sisily if he gave himself up and told all he knew?
hvd.hnp8kv	Would they help?
hvd.hnp8kv	You fear being haunted, do you?
hvd.hnp8kv	You said that you would give your right arm to save her, but what is the good of that if you wo n't tell the truth now?
hvd.hnp8kv	You said the house was locked up for the night, I think?"
hvd.hnp8kv	You think you'll fit a rope round my neck?
hvd.hnp8kv	You were busy in the coal cellar at the time, I think you said? ” “ At what time? ” said Thalassa with a quick glance.
hvd.hnp8kv	You were busy in the coal cellar at the time, I think you said? ” “ At what time? ” said Thalassa with a quick glance.
hvd.hnp8kv	You'll get nothing more out of me if you question me till Doomsday. ” “ But why should you keep anything back?"
hvd.hnp8kv	You'll have your supper up here, I suppose? ”.
hvd.hnp8kv	and calling her to him?
hvd.hnp8kv	he hoarsely exclaimed, pointing, “ what's that?
hvd.hnp8kv	he said—'what has brought you here at this hour?'
hvd.hnp8kv	she stone bravenous with 246 THE MOON ROCK “ Why did you not tell me, Sisily? ” he said in a tone of reproach.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ About what?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Afterwards — where? ” “ I went after him to tell him that Sisily was inno- cent."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ And found the door open and your uncle lying dead upstairs?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ And have you discovered it?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ And how did it get back into the room afterwards? ” Charles paused to consider his reply, but the detec- tive supplied it.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ And what then? ” Thalassa went on, but a little moodily.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ And where would he be running to?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ And, since then, I have loved you more and more. ” “ Oh, why have you told me this now? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Any message, sir?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Are n't you going to light up inside? ” asked Bar- ránt, when the lamp was flickering faintly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Are the circumstances of his death likely to tell against my succeeding?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Are you Mr. Brimsdown? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Are you going to stay much longer in the forsaken hole? ” “ Not much longer,"replied his master in a mild tone.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Are you sorry you are leaving Cornwall? ” he hesi- tatingly began.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ But so far the proof of his daughter's illegitimacy rests on his unsupported statement, which would be quite valueless in a court of law?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ But what can I tell you that you do not already know? ” exclaimed Austin, raising his eyebrows with a helpless look.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ But where's the key?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ But why did he send for you? ” “ That I can not even guess. ” “ You surely must have some idea."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ But why should he destroy himself? ” he queried.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ But you invested his fortune for him, did you not? ” “ I did, ” the lawyer agreed.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Can I help you? ” he said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Can not the story THE MOON ROCK 21 be kept quiet — if not for Alice's sake, at least for Sisily's?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Can you tell me what time Charles Turold came in that night? ” “ I have no idea.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Can you tell me where Miss Sisily is, Thalassa? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Can you tell me where he is staying in London? ” “ I have not the least idea,"returned Austin negli- gently.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Could I see her? ” he eagerly said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Could you not tell them — the police — that?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did that clock upstairs keep good time? ” he asked in a low voice.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did this young woman travel up with you by this wagonette last night? ” Mr.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did you hear me? ” Barrant asked sharply.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did you hear what I said to you? ” angrily de- manded Barrant.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did you observe any marks when you examined the body? ” asked Barrant as he rose to his feet.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did you see Miss Turold there? ” “ I was coming to that.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did you see his face? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did you see the wagonette on the road? ” “ Not a sign of it.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did your brother make his will down here? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Did your wife hear the noise? ” “ No.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you intend to go and see your brother to- night? ” he said, with an air of surprise.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you know any other games of patience? ” Bar- rant asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you know how these marks were made? ” he said, turning to Charles.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you know where I am likely to find her? ” Thalassa pointed vaguely through an open window.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you mean that he has been killed?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you mean the night after he met his death? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you mean to say that because you took a dislike to this unfortunate man's face, you think he has murdered Robert?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you mean to tell me that you did not see your master's daughter, or let her into the house? ” “ I did not."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you really mean what you say?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you remember what you told me about your mother's old nurse, and our memory pictures of her name?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you take me for a fool? ” he said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you think it was he who murdered my uncle? ” “ Happen maybe, happen not.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you think she imagined it? ” “ No; I think somebody was there, but it is by no means certain that it was Thalassa.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you think she will recover? ” “ It is impossible to say. ” “ How do you think the shock was caused?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you think she will recover? ” “ It is impossible to say. ” “ How do you think the shock was caused?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Do you think the world is the loser by his death? ” he said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Does Mrs. Pursill live here? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Flint House?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ For what purpose? ” “ To see if I could find out anything which might throw light on the mystery.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ For what reason?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ For what? ” “ To have the truth out of you, you infernal scoun- drel!"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Gone?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Had Robert Turold any ene- mies? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Had your brother's servant any reason, so far as you know, to be listening at the door? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Had your father any enemy?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Happen I did, what good'd come of telling them? ” “ To save Sisily."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Has Miss Sisily been here? ” The question thundered out in the empty silence.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Has your niece any friends in Cornwall or London, or anywhere, for that matter, who would receive her? ” Barrant abruptly demanded.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Have you any other reason for suspect- ing him?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Have you discovered something? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Have you reflected what that implies? ” he asked in a low tone.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ He did not return with you after the funeral? ” “ No, he did not. ” “ Where did he go?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ He did not return with you after the funeral? ” “ No, he did not. ” “ Where did he go?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ He feared pursuit — some unknown danger, then? ” “ I can not say.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Here? ” he breathed.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How could I expect any one to believe a story which sounds improbable in my own ears?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How could anybody get in?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How did he come by his money?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How did it happen? ” “ I know very little more than yourself.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How did you discover them? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How did you know it was her?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How did you learn of them? ” asked the detective quickly, in a changed tone.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How do I get to Euston Road? ” asked the girl with a quick realization of the fact that she had ob- tained London value for her shilling.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How do you know? ” “ Because I saw you.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How do you know? ” “ I heard him. ” “ Heard him!
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How long after was the body carried into the bed- room?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How much do you consider your brother ought to allow Sisily? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ How's your patient?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ I am afraid that is impossible. ” “ Why?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ I suppose you have come to Cornwall to investigate the cause of his death? ” Mr. Brimsdown remained silent, waiting to hear more.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ I suppose you know you are wanted by the police?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ I understand you came to Cornwall at your brother's request?""
hvd.hnp8kv	“ If I could only see Thalassa — for five minutes —"“ What good would that do? ” he abruptly demanded.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ If I find out the truth, nothing shall come between us then, Sisily?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ In spite of her disappearance?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ In what circumstances? ” “ It is rather a strange story, ” replied Mr. Brims- down slowly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ In what way?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is Austin Turold a poor man?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is it about Mr. Turold's murder? ” “ It- it may be."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is it necessary? ” she pleaded.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is it not enough? ” “ I do not see that it throws any light on Miss Tur- old's disappearance.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is it too late to try it now? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is it you, Tha- lassa? ” he said hesitatingly, and Thalassa recognized the voice of Austin Turold.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is the story to be believed, do you think? ” “ A fisherman of the churchtown told my man in a graphic sort of way.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is there no way of keeping this matter quiet, Rob- ert?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is this merely an assertion, Mr. Turold? ”"It is more than an assertion.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Is- is he dead, doctor? ” Dr. Ravenshaw crossed to the centre of the room and bent over the body, feeling the heart.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ It would be exceedingly improper to drink a toast at such a moment. ” “ What's the matter with the moment? ” “ The day, then.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ It's rather late, is n't it? ” he suggested.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Meantime"“ Why not investigate it immediately? ” asked Charles in a disappointed voice.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ My daughter's birth was irregular. ” “ Do you mean that she is illegitimate? ” asked Dr. Ravenshaw.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Oh, Charles, how did you find me?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Oh, I “ Why not? ” Embarrassment, perceptible as a cloud, deepened on Robert Turold's face.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Oh, that's it, is it? ” Thalassa turned a cautious THE MOON ROCK 45 deindows which looked and smote themed sharply.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Oh, what did I come for?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ On what grounds did he base that belief? ” Mr. Brimsdown cautiously asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Or to stay with your father? ” “ No!"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Robert, Robert, what is the matter?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Sergeant Pengowan regards it as a case of suicide, does he not?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ She was quite alone? ” “ As lonely as any she ghooste, standin'theer by the old crass.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Sisily, why did you go away? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ So that's it, is it?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Sooper? ” The innkeeper scratched his chin doubt- fully.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Suppose we dropped the last of our money? ” Remington asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Surely my sister imparted this to the Penzance police inspector, when she besought his assistance?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Thalassa? ” “ It's not for me to explain,"said Thalassa quickly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Thalassa?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ That afternoon, when my father was talking to you all in the front room downstairs do you remember? ” “ Yes, yes, ” he said impatiently.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ That is so. ” “ If these proofs are found, do you think that my chance of regaining the title is as good as Robert's? ” Austin asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ That story sounds incredible, even to you, does n't it?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ The House of Lords will require proof on that point, will they not? ”"I shall be able to satisfy them, ” returned Robert Turold.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ The question is — are you telling the truth?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Then do you want to go with Aunt to London? ” he persisted, trying to catch a glimpse of her hidden face.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Then is it still your intention to go to the police with this terrible suspicion? ” he asked, in a voice that trembled with agitation.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Then this is the game you were playing on that night? ” “ What night?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Then this is the game you were playing on that night? ” “ What night?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ There is an excur- sion train through to Paddington to- night, and I shall catch it. ” “ You are determined on it, then? ”.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ There is no doubt on that point, is there?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ They'd not help to save her. ” “ Do you think she shot her father? ” Thalassa gave him another dark look, but remained silent.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ This evening — before dark — when you were out. ” “ And you would n't let her in?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ This man has been in your brother's service for a long time, has he not? ”"For a great number of years.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Was Robert Turold's daughter a girl of this sort? ” asked the lawyer in surprise.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Was he attached to her, do you think? ” “ I know nothing of that. ” “ That's rather a pity, ” he said with a gentle shake of the head.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Was that made by the right or left hand? ” “ The right hand was resting on the clock- face.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Was your brother talking about his marriage at the time? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Was your son in to dinner that night? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Were you not told not to interfere with these rooms in any way?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What about? ” “ About Sisily.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What are you doing up here? ” he said sternly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What are you suggesting?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What are you trying to badger me for, like this?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What be yewer doin'yare? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What be you going to do? ” “ I must go to Scotland Yard and tell them your story.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What can I do for you?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What can we do?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What did you find when you got back? ” “ The house was dark and the door open.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you know about it, Sisily? ”"I have heard of nothing but the title ever since I can remember, ” she replied.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you mean by that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you mean by that? ” “ Never mind what I mean.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you mean? ” she said breathlessly, His rejoinder was a long time in coming.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you say, Ravenshaw? ” he said, glancing round at the silent figure of the doctor.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you suggest? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you want? ” she said, framing the words with an obvious effort.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What do you wish me to do? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What does this mean?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What happened while you were away from the house?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What has happened at Flint House, Ravenshaw?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What has happened?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What has happened? ” “ Miss Sisily fell over the cliffs by the Moon Rock.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What has that to do with what we are talking about? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What is it, Thalassa?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What is the cause of agoraphobia?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What is the reason?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What makes you say so?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What makes you think that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What patient do you mean- Mrs. Thalassa? ” asked Dr. Ravenshaw in some surprise.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What sort of a noise? ” “ Like the rustling of paper.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What sort of an influence? ” “ It is difficult to describe, ” she hesitatingly answered.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What time was it when you left the house with Sisily? ” “ Agone half- past eight: perhaps ten minutes after.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What time was it? ” “ It would be about midnight, I reckon."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What were you doing there at that late hour, and why was Ravenshaw with you? ” Mrs. Pendleton told him, and he listened coldly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's he like, Ruby? ” “ Quite the gentleman, miss — young and very good- looking."
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's the glass like to- night, Thalassa? ” re- marked Robert Turold absently.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's the matter with my estimable landlady? ” he murmured as he withdrew from the window.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's the matter with you, man?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's the matter with you?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's the matter? ” said Austin, pausing in the act of pouring some whisky into a glass.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ What's the need for to look at them?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ When I leave Cornwall —"“ You mean we, do n't you? ” Thalassa interrupted.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ When did he go? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ When did she go out? ” asked Mrs. Pendleton, struck by a sudden thought.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ When?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where are Mr. Turold's rooms? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where have I seen that face before? ” he mur- mured to himself.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where is Sisily? ” he asked, with a glance at the girl's vacant place.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where is Tha- lassa? ” she faltered.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where is he?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where was she going? ” asked Charles, flushing slightly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Where's your husband? ” asked Sergeant Pengowan.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who has charge of THE MOON ROCK 75 the keys in your brother's house?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who might you be? ” Barrant did not deign to reply to this inquiry.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who told him about the marks? ” he said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who was it then?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who was it then? ” Charles asked breathlessly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who was your fellow passenger last night? ” “ Now you're asking me a question which takes a bit of answerin', ” replied Mr. Portgartha.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Who's there? ” he cried; then his eye fell on Bar- rant, advancing swiftly from the darkness towards the light.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why did n't you wear your coat?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why do you ask?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why do you call her suspicion absurd? ” asked Bar- rant cautiously.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why does n't he come away?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why has your son gone to London- perhaps you can tell me that much? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why not leave it until the morning? ” said her hus- band, with a lingering glance at the cheery glow of the log- fire in the lounge.

hvd.hnp8kv	“ Why? ” he echoed.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Will you not be seated? ” he said, placing a chair for her.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Will you regard what I have to say to you in strict confidence?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Without waiting for your visit, do you mean?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Wo n't? » said his father.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would it be an accurate timekeeper, do you think?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would it be possible to make marks on a corpse after that length of time? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would it not be better to consult the police first? ” he temporized.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would that be quite safe? ” he hazarded doubtfully.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would you give me the address? ” the girl wist- fully asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would you know her again if you saw her? ” asked Barrant eagerly.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Would you mind going and looking for Sisily? ” she said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Yes. ” “ What time was that? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Yes. ” “ What time was that? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Yes. ” “ Why have you not come forward with this story before?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Yes; I did not go out again after I returned from the funeral. ” “ Was your son home with you? ” “ Most of the time.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You are leaving England? ” A quick ear would have caught a strange note in her soft voice.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You are the late Mr. Turold's servant? ” he said.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You do not intend to make this scandal public, Rob- ert?"

hvd.hnp8kv	“ You recall the disclosure Robert made to us yes- terday afternoon? ” “ About his marriage and Sisily?"

hvd.hnp8kv	“ You say your brother was talking about some fam- ily matters at the time? ” asked Inspector Dawfield, as she related that part of her story.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You surely do not suspect the brother?"
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You think her disappearance suggests guilt? ” asked Mr. Brimsdown.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You took the key away with you? ” Charles nodded with the feeling that the ice was cracking beneath him.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You were here last night when they brought you the news of your brother's death, I understand? ” re- marked Barrant, in a casual sort of way.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You wish to stay on here until you have made other arrangements for your future is that so? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ You, too? ” he said simply.
hvd.hnp8kv	“ Your own opinion is that your brother committed suicide? ” he asked again.
hvd.hnp8kv	“'Tain't as thow'e had a passel of passer- gers to be teeren rownd after. ” “ Can you give me some supper while I'm waiting?"

mdp.39015005041283	Well, what in the name of Bedlam do you mean?
mdp.39015005041283	Well,asked Father Brown, rubbing his dusty hair up,"what do you think of Leonardo da Vinci?
mdp.39015005041283	Well,asked Usher,"does that interest you?"
mdp.39015005041283	Well,observed Brown confidentially,"do n't you think it's the best thing she can do to stop out- side — with you to look after her?
mdp.39015005041283	Well,said Sir Walter patiently,"what was the outline like?
mdp.39015005041283	Well,said the poet tartly,"do people still think me too romantic?
mdp.39015005041283	Well,said the priest patiently,"and what did you do next?"
mdp.39015005041283	Well?
mdp.39015005041283	Well?
mdp.39015005041283	Well?
mdp.39015005041283	What authority have you for what you say?
mdp.39015005041283	What became of this Hedwig eventually?

mdp.39015005041283	What is it? mdp.39015005041283 What is there about Mr. Glass and his money troubles that should impel such urgency?"
mdp.39015005041283	What is there wrong about a miser that is not often as wrong about a collector? mdp.39015005041283 What is your object in all this?"
mdp.39015005041283	What man do you mean? ”I mean the man with the comically ill- fitting clothes you saw running across the ploughed field.

mdp.39015005041283	What the deuce are you frightened of?
mdp.39015005041283	What the devil do you mean?

mdp.39015005041283	What?
mdp.39015005041283	What?
mdp.39015005041283	When did your friend the Admiral tell you this family history?
mdp.39015005041283	Where's that dagger of mine?
mdp.39015005041283	Who's that man in the passage?
mdp.39015005041283	Whom did you con- sult?
mdp.39015005041283	Why should he be innocent of that crime?
mdp.39015005041283	Why should n't a blackmailer,asked Brown, in a low voice,"threaten his victim with himself?
mdp.39015005041283	Why, what do you mean?
mdp.39015005041283	Why, what has happened, Maggie?
mdp.39015005041283	Why, what's he done?
mdp.39015005041283	Why?
mdp.39015005041283	Why?
mdp.39015005041283	Will you stand there talking nonsense about yourself with a woman to save and three strong men to help you? mdp.39015005041283 Will you tell his lordship how you knew it was a man?"
mdp.39015005041283	Will you understand my motives,asked Father Brown quietly,"if I say you have done all you can to hurt?"
mdp.39015005041283	You mean he committed suicide?
mdp.39015005041283	You mean the information is wrong?
mdp.39015005041283	You're a journalist, are n't you?

mdp.39015005041283	20I THE WISDOM OF FATHER BROWN"For what other reason,"asked Father Brown,"do you mean that it has been rebuilt?"
mdp.39015005041283	242 THE GOD OF THE GONGS"Not so sure he was murdered?"

mdp.39015005041283	29 THE WISDOM OF FATHER BROWN"Do you seriously mean,"said the specialist with a smile,"that there is no such person?"
mdp.39015005041283	81 THE WISDOM OF FATHER BROWN And you and I have to do it while he is leaving the country. ” “ But what can this mean? ” cried Flambeau.
mdp.39015005041283	And how can he write about Normans if the man's only a solicitor?
mdp.39015005041283	And then he added, quite sud- denly and irrelevantly, “ You know Giles is back from Australia?!"
mdp.39015005041283	And vine- gar,"producing that condiment,"have n't I heard something about vinegar and brown paper?
mdp.39015005041283	And what about Duffey?
mdp.39015005041283	And whom are you conducting?"
mdp.39015005041283	Are there, I wonder, any brig- ands left in the mountains?"
mdp.39015005041283	Are you going to see the fight?"
mdp.39015005041283	Be- fore he came within earshot, Father Brown had added quite composedly,'Why does he really hide the secret of what he does with the purple wig?
mdp.39015005041283	But I ca n't see how he can come into the thing by any process of thought, unless""Well?"
mdp.39015005041283	But granted his harmless qualities, does n't that banker strike you as a splendid instance of my argument?

mdp.39015005041283	Butler, K.C., sprang to his feet in an extraordi- nary stillness, and said quite calmly:"Your lord- ship will allow me to cross- examine?"
mdp.39015005041283	By what?"
mdp.39015005041283	By whom?
mdp.39015005041283	Ca n't you see the whole character is different, in good and evil?
mdp.39015005041283	Care enough to marry her and make her a good husband, I mean?"
mdp.39015005041283	Did Sir Claude kill himself?"
mdp.39015005041283	Did he see anything in the pas- sage?
mdp.39015005041283	Did n't you ever hear of the time when he very nearly lost all the estates?'
mdp.39015005041283	Do n't you really believe in the family story at all?"
mdp.39015005041283	Do you feel sure a wise murderer would always want the spot to be lonely?
mdp.39015005041283	Father Brown, who had been looking dully at the carpet, lifted his round face and said,"What do you mean?"
mdp.39015005041283	First, why should a gentleman so dressy as our friend Glass leave his hat behind him, if he left of his own free will?
mdp.39015005041283	Had n't you better go and investigate him?
mdp.39015005041283	Has her sorrow come on her already?"
mdp.39015005041283	Has n't the.machine done for him?
mdp.39015005041283	Have I made a bad shot if I guess you do n't want these old things talked of before your butler?"
mdp.39015005041283	He went off at last, 163 THE HEAD OF C^SAR miracle?
mdp.39015005041283	His clerical friend asked faintly,"But how?"
mdp.39015005041283	His first act when he burst out of the archway was to call in a clarion voice down the street,"Are there any Frenchmen here?"
mdp.39015005041283	Hood, with huge and silent amusement,"what does she want? ”"Why, she wants to marry him, ” cried Father Brown, sitting up eagerly.
mdp.39015005041283	How could he have found out?
mdp.39015005041283	How do you account for signs of struggle, like the dress dragged off the shoulder?"
mdp.39015005041283	How do you know, if you come to that, that he did not observe your manner?
mdp.39015005041283	I think we hold what the all- wise police call a clue — have you sent for them?"
mdp.39015005041283	I want ” “ Who in hell are you? ” yelled Usher, suddenly sitting up straight.
mdp.39015005041283	IOI THE WISDOM OF FATHER BROWN At this the other two men dropped their quarrel and darted after him, Cutler calling out:"What are you doing?
mdp.39015005041283	If there is no Mr. Glass, whose hat is this?"
mdp.39015005041283	Is n't that better evidence than a lot of gabble from witnesses: the evidence of a reliable machine?"
mdp.39015005041283	Is this some of your tricks?"
mdp.39015005041283	Look a bit dry, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015005041283	Might not that line through the ship be one of those parti- per- pale lines, indented, I think they call it?
mdp.39015005041283	Miss Cew Yorkers lye hundred est you?"
mdp.39015005041283	Must you be going on?
mdp.39015005041283	No feminine curves?
mdp.39015005041283	No?
mdp.39015005041283	Now, what can be more important than that?"
mdp.39015005041283	Now, what have you got to say to my poor little machine after that?
mdp.39015005041283	Or do you prefer to say that the woman and I have done for him?"
mdp.39015005041283	Or was he here earlier to- day?"
mdp.39015005041283	Shall I tell you?
mdp.39015005041283	The figure, if I understand you, was rather heavy and square than otherwise?"
mdp.39015005041283	Then he said at last,'Do n't you know who he is?'
mdp.39015005041283	Then the barrister said in a lower voice, which seemed at once sympathetic and creepy:"Did you see it distinctly?"
mdp.39015005041283	Then, after a bewildered pause, he said:"Was it a burglar?"
mdp.39015005041283	There was a long silence, and then the priest said quietly but abruptly:"Am I right, then?
mdp.39015005041283	They both started as if guiltily, and Cutler said sharply:"To hurt whom?"
mdp.39015005041283	They never go into such places from choice, except,""Well?"
mdp.39015005041283	Todhunter?"
mdp.39015005041283	Treason?"
mdp.39015005041283	Was it, for instance, like the figure of the murdered woman?"
mdp.39015005041283	Was the bullet at all pe- culiar?"
mdp.39015005041283	Well, we have seen something of the figure and quality of Mr. Glass; what are the chief facts known of Mr. Todhunter?
mdp.39015005041283	Well, what shape was it?"
mdp.39015005041283	Well, who was the man you saw in the pas- sage?"
mdp.39015005041283	Were n't there parsons in the old days, when they fought without gloves?
mdp.39015005041283	What could Tod- hunter get out of this one old hat?"
mdp.39015005041283	What do you call your- self?"
mdp.39015005041283	What do you think of it?"
mdp.39015005041283	What is a weapon?
mdp.39015005041283	What may be the third objection to the King of the Thieves?"
mdp.39015005041283	What, then, were these vessels to contain?
mdp.39015005041283	Who are you?"
mdp.39015005041283	Who but a Yankee would think of proving anything from heart- throbs?
mdp.39015005041283	Who else in this re- public has any reason to jump at the name of a newly arrived Englishman like Falconroy except the man who's shot him?
mdp.39015005041283	Who is he?'
mdp.39015005041283	Who is the King of Thieves?"
mdp.39015005041283	Who is to prove that you were not tre- mendously agitated?
mdp.39015005041283	Who would not pay triple this sum for another day's association with such a do- mestic circle?
mdp.39015005041283	Whose prints they were I have no earthly clue; but why should anybody hold a sword half- way down?
mdp.39015005041283	Why does n't he conceal the family curse better, if he's really so ashamed of it?
mdp.39015005041283	Why does our brigand- courier call this his chief fortress and the Paradise of Thieves?
mdp.39015005041283	Why not?
mdp.39015005041283	Why should he show every stranger over such a 187 THE WISDOM OF FATHER BROWN Chamber of Horrors unless he is prond of it?
mdp.39015005041283	Why should n't it work?
mdp.39015005041283	Why- should Ezza Montano want so specially to tell all Europe that he had picked the pocket before he levied the blackmail?"
mdp.39015005041283	You do n't doubt him?"
mdp.39015005041283	You know the great fight between Malvoli and Nigger Ned is coming off, after all?"
mdp.39015005041283	You say the words have to come in a natural way; but how do you know that you did it naturally?
mdp.39015005041283	You say you observed his manner; but how do you know you observed it right?
mdp.39015005041283	You will per- mit me the impertinent intimacy; but do you care 59 THE WISDOM OF FATHER BROWN about that girl?
mdp.39015005041283	called out Miss MacNab,"are n't you going to untie the man first?"
mdp.39015005041283	cried Father Brown,"ca n't you see he's laughing?"
mdp.39015005041283	cried Flambeau, with an incredulity quite frightful—"apologise?"
mdp.39015005041283	cried the Due de Valognes impatiently;"why on earth should n't they meet like other people?"
mdp.39015005041283	fWhat do you mean, you shuffler?"
mdp.39015005041283	he asked, and then, remembering a vague fear of his own,"or can you be thinking of Muscari?"
mdp.39015005041283	he asked, in an altered voice.."Well, what?"
mdp.39015005041283	he exclaimed,"do you — er — do you gen- erally cut out a new front door whenever you want to go for a walk?"
mdp.39015005041283	or how can any one but Philip and myself know I gave him a tiny coin in the middle of the sea?"
mdp.39015005041283	repeated the doctor, with a start,"but what on earth can he be laughing at?"
mdp.39015005041283	well, what would you call it?"
mdp.39015005041283	what is this?"
mdp.39015005041283	“ But why?"
mdp.39015005041283	“ Do you mean suicide? ” he asked.
mdp.39015005041283	“ Does it pay well?"
mdp.39015005041283	“ Is that the last of your list of trades?
mdp.39015005041283	“ What is that fire over there? ” asked Father Brown, with a gentle suddenness pointing to the woods on the left river- bank.
mdp.39015005041283	“ What is the nursery- rhyme?"
mdp.39015005041283	“ Where did you last see our precious Colonel? ” asked Flambeau irritably.
mdp.39015005041283	“ Where did you last see our precious Colonel?"
mdp.39015005041283	“ Will he be there still, do you think?"
mdp.39015005041283	“'But,'I stammered, “ if that is the Duke, why does he damn all the old dukes like that?'
mdp.39015005041283	“'That is an extraordinary old gentleman,'I said to the other two;'do you happen to know what the Exmoor family has done to him?
hvd.hnp94e	Do you happen to know the name of the gentle- man who was speaking to you just now? ” asked Viner, going straight to his point. hvd.hnp94e Do you know whereabouts it is? ” The chauffeur knitted his brows and shook his head.
hvd.hnp94e	Have we done any- thing? hvd.hnp94e He knew, you see, that we were just about setting off home. ” “ He did n't ask you to his house? ” inquired Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	He merely remarked that it was an odd case, and said no more. ” “ What made him mention it?
hvd.hnp94e	How now? ” “'Pon my honour, ” answered Mr. Carless, “ I should n't wonder if you're right!
hvd.hnp94e	Mr. Pawle, I understand? ” he said. hvd.hnp94e Perhaps you'll go there with me?".
hvd.hnp94e	Then you're a Lancashire man?' hvd.hnp94e Well?"
hvd.hnp94e	Where did you find those valuables this morn- ing? ” asked Viner. hvd.hnp94e 'Not many changes in this old place, landlady, in your time?' hvd.hnp94e 'You've known Marketstoke before,'I said to my- self. ” “ You did n't ask him that? ” inquired Mr. Pawle, eagerly. hvd.hnp94e 118 THE MIDDLE OF THINGS “ My trade, do n't it? hvd.hnp94e 122 THE MIDDLE OF THINGS comes from Van Hoeren? hvd.hnp94e 130 THE MIDDLE OF THINGS “ Have you seen that gentleman lately that I've sometimes talked to in the corner there? ” he asked. hvd.hnp94e 270 THE BACK WAY 273 longer, Mrs. Killenhall will be too late for the bank. ” “ What bank? ” asked Viner. hvd.hnp94e :Physical culture, eh? ” observed Mr. Carless, smil- ing.
hvd.hnp94e	A silk hat- patent leather boots- and muffled to the eyes in a white silk handker- chief. ” “ Could you see his face? ” asked Drillford.
hvd.hnp94e	Again, I say — why Marketstoke?
hvd.hnp94e	All that correct?
hvd.hnp94e	Am I right in that supposition? ” “ I do n't like your terminology, Mr. Carless, ” an- swered the visitor with a slight frown.
hvd.hnp94e	And I can tell you where he very often spent an hour or two of an evening. ” “ Yes — where? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	And I expect it'll be like most cases of the sort! ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	And I wish —"“ What? ” demanded Miss Penkridge after a pause, during which Viner had sat staring at the floor.
hvd.hnp94e	And I wonder who the man is? ” “ What I'd like to know,"said Viner, “ is — who is the other man?
hvd.hnp94e	And I wonder who the man is? ” “ What I'd like to know,"said Viner, “ is — who is the other man?
hvd.hnp94e	And after that he would say no more — he has n't even asked to see a solicitor. ” “ What will be done next? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	And are Marketstoke and Wickham and Ashton all one and the same man? ” “ Upon my word, it's a strange muddle! ” ex- claimed Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	And had robbery been the real motive of the murder?
hvd.hnp94e	And he said it was WHAT WAS THE SECRET?
hvd.hnp94e	And not in any return, gentlemen! she has promised to give me something which I shall prize far more than any title or any estate- you understand?
hvd.hnp94e	And now about your recollections of this poor gentleman, ma'am? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	And talking about forgeries, what about old Barrett, who was the great man at Pumpney, when your mother and I were girls there?
hvd.hnp94e	And was it likely that he and Pawle were going to find any really important evidence in an obscure Buckinghamshire market- town?
hvd.hnp94e	And we are so grateful to you — and oh, do you think you can save him?"
hvd.hnp94e	And what did he say?"
hvd.hnp94e	And what, too, was this mystery about Miss Wickham and her father?
hvd.hnp94e	And when a man's at that stage, do you think he's going to stop at anything?
hvd.hnp94e	And who might have got you on to it, if one may ask? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	And why this, the very first place in England?
hvd.hnp94e	And why?
hvd.hnp94e	And your grandmother's name is-what?"
hvd.hnp94e	And — these were in Mr. Ashton's possession? ” “ We have just found them — Mr.
hvd.hnp94e	And — where is she? ” “ And- possibly a much more pertinent question,"said Viner,"where is this Dr. Martincole?
hvd.hnp94e	And — where is she? ” “ And- possibly a much more pertinent question,"said Viner,"where is this Dr. Martincole?
hvd.hnp94e	And — who is he?
hvd.hnp94e	And — who is he?"
hvd.hnp94e	And —"WHO WAS MR. ASHTON?
hvd.hnp94e	And- had it anything to do with, did it lead up to, his murder?
hvd.hnp94e	Are you coming, Mr. Viner?
hvd.hnp94e	As Mr. Viner says, what would Hyde be doing with this stuff in his pocket? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	As Viner and the Inspector walked into the police- WHO WAS MR. ASHTON?
hvd.hnp94e	Ashton was carrying a big diamond about in his pocketbook? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	Ashton! ” “ You know him?"
hvd.hnp94e	Business! ” “ You've done business with Mr. Ashton? ” asked the old lawyer.
hvd.hnp94e	But 240 242 THE MIDDLE OF THINGS check he has given? ” suggested Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	But I believe Mr. Viner has something to say? ” “ Yes — this,"answered Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	But I'll tell you what, Mr. Viner,"he added with a grin: “ as you're so confident, why do n't you find him?"
hvd.hnp94e	But if he gets showing it to other people, in public places — what? ” “ Just so! ” asserted Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	But it's all very vague. ” “ Do you remember where you lived?"
hvd.hnp94e	But now, if Lord Ellingham refuses that offer, does your client intend to commence proceedings? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	But now, what do I know?
hvd.hnp94e	But now, who is he?
hvd.hnp94e	But now, ” continued Mr. Pawle, “ how far does this take us toward solving the mystery of my client's death?
hvd.hnp94e	But oh, do you think there is any chance for him? ” “ Every chance! ” declared Viner, pretending more conviction than he felt.
hvd.hnp94e	But the murderer?
hvd.hnp94e	But when is the adjourned inquest? ”"Day after tomorrow,"replied Mr. Pawle, after glancing at his desk- diary.
hvd.hnp94e	But — what are you going to do? ” “ Going in here,"affirmed Mr. Pawle, “ to the fountain- head.
hvd.hnp94e	But — what does he know?
hvd.hnp94e	But — who is he?"
hvd.hnp94e	But, what made you watch these people? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	But, what more can you tell us? ” “ Nothing more, I'm afraid, ” answered the bar- rister.
hvd.hnp94e	But, who's behind him?
hvd.hnp94e	But, ” added the old lawyer, shaking his head, “ what does all this imply?
hvd.hnp94e	But- how did you get to know Mr. Ashton and to hear of this diamond?
hvd.hnp94e	But- you can tell us more, Mr. Armitstead? ” “ Unfortunately, very little, ” replied the visitor.
hvd.hnp94e	But- you think this is very serious. ” “ Serious?
hvd.hnp94e	CHAPTER XXII IS THIS MAN RIGHT?
hvd.hnp94e	CHAPTER XXIX WHO IS TO TELL HER?
hvd.hnp94e	Can you tell me anything about Mr. Ashton's usual habits Had he any business?
hvd.hnp94e	Clear case! ” THE RING AND THE KNIFE 41 “ What did he say?"
hvd.hnp94e	Clothes, pocket- money, and so on? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Curiously, ” he added with another IS THIS MAN RIGHT?
hvd.hnp94e	Dead?
hvd.hnp94e	Dealers in diamonds, see?
hvd.hnp94e	Did Ashton tell you the name of this man?"
hvd.hnp94e	Did anything happen? ” “ You mean relating to what he'd told us? ” said Fosdick.
hvd.hnp94e	Did anything happen? ” “ You mean relating to what he'd told us? ” said Fosdick.
hvd.hnp94e	Did he come to you? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Did he go?
hvd.hnp94e	Did he lose his reason or his memory, and wander away and away?
hvd.hnp94e	Did he murder John Ashton for them?
hvd.hnp94e	Did he think of her maiden name, Wickham, when he wanted a new one for himself?
hvd.hnp94e	Did n't Mr. Ashton tell you?".
hvd.hnp94e	Did n't the old lady say that the seventh Earl died intestate?
hvd.hnp94e	Did n't you?".
hvd.hnp94e	Did you know this Lord Marketstoke before he disappeared? ” “ I only saw him two or three times,"replied the landlady.
hvd.hnp94e	Do you know the Rue Royale?
hvd.hnp94e	Do you know what I think?
hvd.hnp94e	Do you know who paid yours?"
hvd.hnp94e	Do you see my idea? ” “ Capital! ” exclaimed Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	Does anybody know him?"
hvd.hnp94e	Dr. Cortelyon, will you see him when he comes along?
hvd.hnp94e	Eh? ”"In plain language,"said Mr. Pawle,"he wanted to be bought."
hvd.hnp94e	Eventually she approached me, and at once asked me if I had kept secret the receipt of the mysterious letter?
hvd.hnp94e	Failing proofs in other directions, fail- ing the discovery of the real murderer, how was that case going to be upset?
hvd.hnp94e	First- why had he come forward after this long in- terval?
hvd.hnp94e	For example, you evidently do not ad- mit my claim? ” “ We certainly admit nothing, at present!"
hvd.hnp94e	For what reason?
hvd.hnp94e	Friends, now?
hvd.hnp94e	Grandfather living? ” “ No, sir."
hvd.hnp94e	Had she anything to do with the secret?
hvd.hnp94e	Had they ever met?
hvd.hnp94e	Have you a card? ” The footman who took the cards looked doubtfully at them and their presenters.
hvd.hnp94e	Have you ever seen a starved dog eat?
hvd.hnp94e	He already knew the two lawyers, and ex- changed comprehending words with them, but he WHO IS TO TELL HER?
hvd.hnp94e	He used to come here a good deal, you know. ” “ Do you think, you'd know him again, Portle- thwaite, after all these years?"
hvd.hnp94e	He was often WHO WAS MR. ASHTON?
hvd.hnp94e	He — What is it? ” Viner had suddenly gripped his companion's arm and pulled him to a halt.
hvd.hnp94e	His general appearance, now- how did that strike you? ” “ He was certainly a man of great distinction of manner, ” declared Mr. Armitstead.
hvd.hnp94e	How did you get that ring? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	How did you get them?"
hvd.hnp94e	How is it this man was n't found in possession of them?"
hvd.hnp94e	How long have you known him? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	How many murders go undetected- how many burglaries are never traced how many forgeries are done and never found out?
hvd.hnp94e	How was it, if legal proceedings were likely to arise out of it, that Ashton had not told Pawle about it?
hvd.hnp94e	I do n't know,"he went on, glancing at the card which still lay on Mr. Pawle's blotting- pad, “ if you know my name at all?
hvd.hnp94e	I have it here,"continued the witness, producing a pocketbook and taking out IS THIS MAN RIGHT?
hvd.hnp94e	I mean when Hyde was brought up the first time?"
hvd.hnp94e	I suppose you've never seen such a document?
hvd.hnp94e	I was afraid of being followed. ” “ Now why were you afraid of being followed? ” “ I was famishing! ” answered Hyde.
hvd.hnp94e	I wish you may — if he ever existed! ” “ You do n't believe Hyde? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	I wonder if he rented a box at any of the safe- deposit places?
hvd.hnp94e	I've just had another talk with Hyde. ” “ Well? ” demanded Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	If he did n't put these things there, who did? ” Viner gave him a steady look.
hvd.hnp94e	In fact, as soon as I'd seen it, I never thought about him any more, nor looked at him again. ” “ What was it?"
hvd.hnp94e	In the first, how on earth did the man contrive to get away un- observed from a town in which, presumably, every soul knew him?
hvd.hnp94e	In- spector Drillford's compliments, and would Mr. Viner come round?
hvd.hnp94e	Instead of going direct to Tichborne, where you'd naturally have thought all his affection and interests rested, where did he go?
hvd.hnp94e	Is his body lying at the bottom of some hole by some roadside?
hvd.hnp94e	Is n't it a queer thing? ” he went on, laughing again.
hvd.hnp94e	Is n't that what I said?
hvd.hnp94e	Is that really so? ” Mr. Carless pointed to Mr. Perkwite.
hvd.hnp94e	Is that the family name? ” inter- rupted Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	Is this man some fellow that he picked up on the way?
hvd.hnp94e	It seems — by George, Millwat- ers,"he suddenly exclaimed, “ what if this is some in- fernal plant- trap- something of that sort?
hvd.hnp94e	It's another likely thing for Hyde to possess, and to carry about, is n't it?"
hvd.hnp94e	Just so- and your grandmother, who sent you here, keeps an inn there?"
hvd.hnp94e	Killenhall?
hvd.hnp94e	Likely thing for Langton Hyde to be carrying in his pocket, eh? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Mirrapore Street?
hvd.hnp94e	Miss Wickham, some- thing has alarmed these birds and they've flown. ” “ But why were we brought here? ” asked Miss Wickham.
hvd.hnp94e	Miss Wickham, you always understood that Mr. Ash- ton and your father were very close friends, I be- lieve?"
hvd.hnp94e	Miss Wickham? ” began Drill- ford, looking sharply from one to the other.
hvd.hnp94e	Naturally, therefore, I should like to know that man's name. ” “ You're not a detective? ” suggested the land- lord.
hvd.hnp94e	Now then- but what's your name, my dear?"
hvd.hnp94e	Now what's he like? ” “ He's a tall gentleman, ” said the boy, after some evidently painful thought.
hvd.hnp94e	Now — which? ” Mr. Pawle glanced at the prisoner.
hvd.hnp94e	Now — who?
hvd.hnp94e	Now, I ask you again — where's Ashton's purse?
hvd.hnp94e	Now, Mr. Cave, you got no informa- tion out of the woman? ” “ None! ” answered Mr. Cave.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, Pawle, what do you really say about all this? ” Mr. Pawle smote his clenched right fist on the palm of his open left hand.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, did Mr. Ashton never tell you any- thing much about your father? ”"No, he never did.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, gentlemen, shall we go? ” Outside, Mr. Carless took Lord Ellingham's arm, “ You know what this really means to you? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, gentlemen, shall we go? ” Outside, Mr. Carless took Lord Ellingham's arm, “ You know what this really means to you? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, have you any recollection of your father? ” “ Only very vague recollections.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, he can go straight to that door and de- mand to see her, and"·"Why ca n't we? ” interrupted Perkwite.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, is that another coin- cidence?
hvd.hnp94e	Now, ma'am, what can you tell about him?"
hvd.hnp94e	Now, sir, are you not the person who claims to be the rightful Earl of Ellingham? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, then — where did he get them?
hvd.hnp94e	Now, then, did this claimant steal them?
hvd.hnp94e	Now, then- mind, you're on your oath!-is Edward Cave your real or full name?"
hvd.hnp94e	Now, what do you think of the proceedings we've just heard?
hvd.hnp94e	Now, what sort of man was he in appearance?"
hvd.hnp94e	Now, whatever can he be doing there, Mr. Perkwite? ” “ Whatever can any of them be doing there! ” mut- tered Perkwite.
hvd.hnp94e	Now, who is het And what made him in such a deuce of a hurry?"
hvd.hnp94e	Now,"he went on, turning to the sergeant,"about that search?
hvd.hnp94e	ON REMAND 221 “ What is the object of this? ” he asked, glancing at the defending counsel.
hvd.hnp94e	Of course, I remembered it very well. ” “ Well, ma'am, ” said Mr. Pawle, “ and what then?"
hvd.hnp94e	Of course, that man is the actual murderer. ” “ You think that?"
hvd.hnp94e	Once there, let him be asked how he came into pos- session of these papers?
hvd.hnp94e	Or is it that there's some connection between her and all these dead and gone Avices? ” “ Very strange! ” admitted Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	Or- another question — what could we, police officials, do?"
hvd.hnp94e	Pawle,"he began, “ has told us of your rela- tionship with the late Mr. Ashton- you always re- garded him as your guardian? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Pawle? ” he inquired as he dropped into the chair which the old lawyer silently indicated at the side of his desk.
hvd.hnp94e	Pray, did he never show you anything of a valuable nature which he carried in his pocketbook? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Put out of the way! ” “ Why, now? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	So I come to tell you what I know, see?
hvd.hnp94e	So he really was a schoolmate of yours? ” “ Certainly! ” said Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	So of course I opened it, and there was the watch and chain and ring. ” “ Just folded in the papers that you handed to the police?"
hvd.hnp94e	So! ” “ Did he want to sell it? ” demanded Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	So! ” “ Well- what is it? ” demanded Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	So,"he went on,"you reside at the Belmead Hotel, in Lancaster Gate, and your name is Edward Cave? ” “ At present,"answered the witness, stiffy.
hvd.hnp94e	So- shall we go round? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Stephens and I are about forty- Ashton was sixty. ” “ You've always known of him as a townsman of Melbourne? ” “ That's so.
hvd.hnp94e	Ten sharp?
hvd.hnp94e	Ten thou- sand?
hvd.hnp94e	That was never solved, never! ” “ Do you mean to tell me the man was never caught?''
hvd.hnp94e	That's fact, Mr. Viner. ” “ What did you do?"
hvd.hnp94e	That's one of the most expensive schools in England, is n't it?"
hvd.hnp94e	The native place called him, do you see?
hvd.hnp94e	Then, in that case, that girl outside there"“ Well?"
hvd.hnp94e	Thereupon I gave her the check which had been agreed upon, and we parted. ” “ And that is all you know of her? ”'asked Mr. Mill.
hvd.hnp94e	These two women- did they feel it much?''
hvd.hnp94e	They puzzled me?
hvd.hnp94e	Viner, I sup- pose you're going home?
hvd.hnp94e	Viner?"
hvd.hnp94e	Viner?'
hvd.hnp94e	WHAT WAS THE SECRET?
hvd.hnp94e	WHO IS TO TELL HER?
hvd.hnp94e	WHO WAS MR. ASHTON?
hvd.hnp94e	Was he murdered in broad daylight on a public road?
hvd.hnp94e	Was he really her guardian? ” “ Has this anything to do with it?"
hvd.hnp94e	Was he really her guardian? ” “ Has this anything to do with it?"
hvd.hnp94e	Was it possible that he had gone to some other solicitor?
hvd.hnp94e	Was it the man he was with in Paris?
hvd.hnp94e	We merely wish to make search for a certain legal purpose, eh? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	We saw Miss Wickham and Mrs. Killenhall — there's Miss Wickham, but where's the other lady?
hvd.hnp94e	Well, I in- troduce him to some of the other boys in the Garden, see?
hvd.hnp94e	Well, and what's the message your grandmother sent me?
hvd.hnp94e	Well, now, do you remember your father? ” “ Only just- and very faintly, Mr. Pawle, ” replied Miss Wickham.
hvd.hnp94e	Well- you may be surprised, but — that's all. ” “ All you can tell? ” exclaimed Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	Well-any more? ” “ Plenty!"
hvd.hnp94e	Were there often as strange ones as that upon which he had so unexpectedly stumbled?
hvd.hnp94e	Westbourne Grove way, you say this fellow went?
hvd.hnp94e	What business can be have in this place?
hvd.hnp94e	What can anybody think? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	What did he do with his time?"
hvd.hnp94e	What did she know about him?
hvd.hnp94e	What did you find on him?"
hvd.hnp94e	What do you know about it?
hvd.hnp94e	What do you think Methley and Woodlesford came to tell him?
hvd.hnp94e	What do you think about your friend now, Mr. Viner? ” “ Precisely what I thought before and shall continue to think, ” retorted Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	What do you think?
hvd.hnp94e	What do you think? ” “ I think not, at present,"replied Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	What number did my man say it was — seven? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	What on earth does it mean?
hvd.hnp94e	What school? ” “ Ryedene School. ” “ Ryedene!
hvd.hnp94e	What sort of thing is that for an innocent, harmless man to carry about him?
hvd.hnp94e	What was I saying?
hvd.hnp94e	What was it?
hvd.hnp94e	What was this secret affecting one of the first families in England, of which Ashton had told his two Melbourne friends?
hvd.hnp94e	What were you doing with that knife in your possession? ” he went on, turning to Hyde.
hvd.hnp94e	What's it all about?"
hvd.hnp94e	What's the obvious conclusion?
hvd.hnp94e	What, frankly, is your opinion? ” “ I had better tell you something that's just hap- pened, ” replied Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	When did you come down here? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	Where did he go at night?
hvd.hnp94e	Where had they met?
hvd.hnp94e	Where is she?"
hvd.hnp94e	Where's Ashton's purse?
hvd.hnp94e	Who is he, by the by? ” “ Felpham, of Chancery Lane, ” replied Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	Who left this? ” he went on, as a clerk entered the room with some letters.
hvd.hnp94e	Who was the man?
hvd.hnp94e	Who's at the back of him?
hvd.hnp94e	Who, then, was the guilty man?
hvd.hnp94e	Who- to be plain — who's making a cat’s- paw of him?
hvd.hnp94e	Why Marketstoke?
hvd.hnp94e	Why did he go?
hvd.hnp94e	Why did he shoot her?
hvd.hnp94e	Why not go to the expense — when there's so much at stake?
hvd.hnp94e	Why, I saw it — and its significance- instantly, just now, which was the first time I'd seen it! ” “ What is it that's on it?"
hvd.hnp94e	Why, as Pawle had remarked, were there no papers or docu- ments, concerning her to be found anywhere?
hvd.hnp94e	Why, then, when this man- if he is the real man- returned home, did he not come to us?
hvd.hnp94e	Why?
hvd.hnp94e	Would Hyde, his wits sharpened by danger, be able to spot him as the muffled man of Lonsdale Passage?
hvd.hnp94e	Yes, for several min- utes. ” “ Who found him here? ” demanded the inspector.
hvd.hnp94e	Yes?
hvd.hnp94e	Yes? ” “ Miss Wickham's Christian name is Avice,"said Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	You absolutely claim to be the ninth Earl of Ellingham? ” “ Yes! ” “ Where have you been during the last thirty- five years?'
hvd.hnp94e	You absolutely claim to be the ninth Earl of Ellingham? ” “ Yes! ” “ Where have you been during the last thirty- five years?'
hvd.hnp94e	You did n't see anybody about, sir? ” “ Yes,"replied Viner, “ that's just it.
hvd.hnp94e	You know nothing about them, sir? ”"Not even as much as your man knew.
hvd.hnp94e	You know where they are buried? ” “ Oh, yes!
hvd.hnp94e	You never heard of him out there?
hvd.hnp94e	You see how they're signed — you see how they're ad- dressed?
hvd.hnp94e	You see what it is?
hvd.hnp94e	You think this matter of the man in the muffler impor- tant?"
hvd.hnp94e	You ’re from Marketstoke eh?
hvd.hnp94e	You'll go round there with me? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	You've some idea? ” “ Gentlemen, ” answered the elderly clerk.
hvd.hnp94e	and how, and where?"
hvd.hnp94e	he continued, glancing at Miss Wickham,"was n't it in order? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	of course, I'd no idea of that! ” “ And that's the whole truth? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	troduce an element of doubt into the case against Hyde, and that will benefit him. ” “ Tomorrow? ” said Fosdick.
hvd.hnp94e	“ A bad accident? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ A man WHAT WAS THE SECRET?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Ah, that's still your impression? ” remarked Drillford.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Ah- have you seen it? ” “ Several times I see it, ” replied Mr. Van Hoeren.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Am I to go away with the impression that you be- lieve our client to be an impostor? ” he said quietly.
hvd.hnp94e	“ And I dare say you saw me go with the rest of them to Mr. Viner's, in Markendale Square? ” said Perkwite.
hvd.hnp94e	“ And from whom?''
hvd.hnp94e	“ And in the meantime,"suggested Mr. Carless, “ Miss Wickham might be asked to remain here- un- der the wing of the excellent Miss Penkridge?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ And no doubt conversed with the people he met there? ” suggested Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ And that somebody? ” he asked in hushed ac- cents.
hvd.hnp94e	“ And the young lady- her name? ” asked the Inspector.
hvd.hnp94e	“ And there's something you know about this case?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ And what said your lordship to their- or the claimant's proposition?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ And why is Lord Ellingham, whoever he may be, there? ” inquired Miss Wickham."
hvd.hnp94e	“ And why, pray?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ And you have, no doubt, been long in it?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ And you were at Ryedene twelve years?".
hvd.hnp94e	“ And you've no doubt heard the murder dis- cussed? ” suggested Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ And — what happened next?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Any men to dine, or anything of that sort? ” “ No- not once.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Anyway,"suggested Drillford, glancing over the particulars which he had written down,"you'd know him again if you saw him? ” “ Oh, certainly!"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Are you sure you've got the right man? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Are you- suspecting Mrs. Killenhall of anything, Mr. Viner? ” Viner gave her a quick glance.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Are you? ” he said in low tones.
hvd.hnp94e	“ As for me why, I'm thinking of some- thing that seems absolutely- obvious! ” “ What, then?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Aye, I fancied that would be the game! ” “ You think it a game? ” suggested Mr. Carless.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Be careful, now; you heard what the doctor said about it, in court? ” “ I've nothing to conceal, ” replied Hyde.
hvd.hnp94e	“ But now, this memoran- dum, evidently written by Ashton himself, in Lon- don, soon after he got here? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ But we have not disposed of the first, have we? ” suggested Lord Ellingham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ But what- why?
hvd.hnp94e	“ But — the door's open, is n't it? ” “ Yes — that is so,"answered Viner, who was dis- tinctly puzzzled.
hvd.hnp94e	“ But — where are you going? ” he broke off as Miss Penkridge, seizing an umbrella, started for the door.
hvd.hnp94e	“ But — who knows anything? ” Mr. Pawle looked at the two ladies.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Can I have a word with you, in private? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Can you describe the man who came out of the passage as you entered it? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did he ever mention any club? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did he ever tell you much about your father? ” “ No, very little indeed.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did he ever tell you whether your father left you any money?''
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did she go out anywhere? ” “ Yes, ” replied Miss Wickham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did they mention a sum to Your Lordship? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did they seem serious? ”... “ Oh, I think they were quite serious,"replied Lord Ellingham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did you ever hear Ashton mention the name?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did you find him, Mr. Viner? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did you marry out there? ” “ Never!"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did you see me in the police- court this morning? ” “ I did- listening for all you were worth,'an- swered the clerk.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did you try to trace her, or her principals, through the district messenger who brought the letter? ” “ Certainly not!
hvd.hnp94e	“ Did your client mention to you that he knew Carless and Driver as the family solicitors? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do n't think me inquisitive, but what was the amount of the check you gave her? ” “ There was no amount stated, ” replied Miss Wick- ham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do n't you recognize that? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do n't you remember, sister, what a quantity of poetical pieces he knew by heart when he was quite a child?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you know anything about Mrs. Killenhall's movements this morning? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you know anything of Mr. Ashton's move- ments since he came to London? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you know what her maiden name was? ” “ No, only her Christian name; that was Catherine.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you know where he went?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you know who your mother was? ” “ Only that she was some one whom my father met in Australia."
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you know why?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you mean that Mr. Ashton called on Lord Ellingham, or what?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you see? ” he whispered.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Do you think I'd have been such a fool as to try to pawn or sell a ring that belonged to a man who'd just been murdered? ” he demanded.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Eh? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Emphatically 80! ” 186 THE MIDDLE OF THINGS “ May I have a word with you? ” he asked, drawing him aside.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Extraordinary! ” “ Shall you tell her? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Found out anything more, Doctor? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ From whom?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Give my word for any of'em, eh?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Got any recollection of his exact look? ” inquired the Inspector.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Have n't we heard already, that a man named Wickham handed over his daughter Avice to Ash- ton's care and guardianship? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Have you heard of the murder in Lonsdale Pas- sage? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Have you mentioned it to your neighbours, for instance, or to any one in the town? ”"No, sir! ” declared Mrs. Summers promptly.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Have you some busi- ness to discuss, Mr. Pawle? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Have you, ma'am? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ He wanted to sell it? ” suggested Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Here's a curious fact which, in view of what we heard last night, may be of use to us. ” “ What's that? ” demanded Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ How did he come by the ring, then? ” he asked, pointing at his prisoner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ How did they come into your possession, then? ” asked Mr. Millington- Bywater.
hvd.hnp94e	“ How do you know that's one of Mr. Ashton's rings? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ How long, so far as you remember, did you live with Mr. Ashton there? ” “ Not very long, I think.
hvd.hnp94e	“ How much? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I do n't know if you remember, but I saw you the other night in the parlour of that old tavern in Notting Hill — you came in while I was there?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ I generally look in about that time- nine- thirty to ten. ” “ Did you leave them talking there?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ I had told him of several. ” “ You're well up in the peerage, ma'am? ” sug- gested the old lawyer.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I happened to see her, and I attended to her myself. ” “ Did she present a check from me?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ I have had considerable doubt on 292 WHO IS TO TELL HER?
hvd.hnp94e	“ I hope my aunt called on you this morning? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I mean — have you got the man I saw run- ning away from the passage? ” “ You shall settle that yourself, ” answered Drill- ford.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I suppose all the people you introduced him to are all right? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I suppose you never heard Mr. Ashton mention the Grey Mare? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I suppose you never heard anybody about, that night? ” he asked turning to the greengrocer.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I suppose you've been at the Grey Mare since Mr. Ashton's death? ” he asked as they walked along.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I understand you live close by them? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I wanted to know if my companion, Mrs. Kil- lenhall, had called here this afternoon? ” begun Miss Wickham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ I was not to ask questions, you remember. ” “ You took her for a gentlewoman? ” “ Yes — from her speech and manner."
hvd.hnp94e	“ I'm sure of it. ” “ What's that, Doctor? ” asked Drillford.
hvd.hnp94e	“ If there is any- thing that I can do, or that my aunt Miss Penk- 32 THE MIDDLE OF THINGS ridge, who lives with me, can do?
hvd.hnp94e	“ In Australia. ” “ What part? ” “ Chiefly in Melbourne.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Is Mr. Ashton dead?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Is that man Cave still with you? ” “ No! ” answered Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Is that really all you can think of? ” he asked, with a keen glance.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Is that really sowould it be so? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Markendale Square way?
hvd.hnp94e	“ May I say a word that's just now much more important to me than all this?'
hvd.hnp94e	“ Maybe nobody do n't know nothings about it, what?
hvd.hnp94e	“ More mystery? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ More ques- tions?
hvd.hnp94e	“ My friend Stephens, here, is a man of few words; he credits me WHAT WAS THE SECRET?
hvd.hnp94e	“ No? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Nor who he was?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Nor, I think, does Mr. Pawle?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Not much in it, is there?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, I suppose you were at the Ellingham Arms when this Mr. Ashton came there? ” “ Oh, yes, sir; I live there! ” “ To be sure!
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, I wonder what's in here? ” “ Shall I fetch Miss Wickham? ” suggested Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, I wonder what's in here? ” “ Shall I fetch Miss Wickham? ” suggested Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, at what time are these miscreants to be put in the dock to- morrow?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, have you said as much as that to anybody before? ” he asked, eying her significantly.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, is it a coincidence that Miss Wickham's name should be Avice?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, my friend, ” he said, “ you've already sent your own solicitor to Hyde, have n't you?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, then- what are these proofs? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, who on earth is Mr. Armitstead Ashton Armitstead, of Rouendale House, Rawtenstall?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, why, Mr. Viner? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now, why, ma'am did you wonder that? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Now- where is it, then?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ One of your partners, no doubt? ” he added, looking again at Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Partner of yours? ” asked Fosdick.
hvd.hnp94e	“ See that girl outside? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ See that?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Seen that paragraph in the evening papers? ” said Felpham without preface.
hvd.hnp94e	“ She is dead? ” “ She died two years ago,"answered Miss Wick- ham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ She's the reason of my ringing you up. ” “ Yes? ” said Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ So you saw that?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ So you're on that game, Mr. Perkwite? ” remarked Millwaters.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Spent any of it? ” asked Mr. Pawle dryly.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Stuff? ” demanded Miss Penkridge, who had resumed her knitting.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Such as what? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Sure he's dead, sir? ” “ Dead- yes!
hvd.hnp94e	“ Talking in their usual corner. ” “ And you say you do n't know who this man is?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Tell me between ourselves?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ That Ashton told him, in Paris, that he, Ashton, hailed from Lancashire? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ The tallish gentleman with a grey beard?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Then you saw them? ” “ Yes- he showed me the whole lot, ” replied Mr. Perkwite.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Then — the question now is — who is to tell her?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ There's one thing you ’re forgetting, are n't you?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Unusual device, is n't it? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Upon my honour,"he exclaimed, “ I do n't know who she is! ” “ What do you mean?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Very satisfactory they were, no doubt, ma'am? ” suggested Drillford.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Viner! ” he said, in a low, concentrated tone, “ do n't you know me?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Was he clean- shaved, or bearded, or what? ” “ I tell you he was muffled to the very eyes, ” an- swered Hyde.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Was he well known?".
hvd.hnp94e	“ Was n't particular about it, you know- rich man. ” “ Did he tell you anything about it — how he got it, and so on? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Was there any history attached to it? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ We'll answer anything. ” “ He did n't tell you what the secret was? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Well, Carless? ” said Mr. Pawle at last.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Well, and what else? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Well, now, these papers? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Well? ” asked Viner as they walked across the square to the Ellington Arms.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Well? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Were these things loose? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What are they?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What are we going to hear next?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What are we going to hear this time?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What did he do with himself?''
hvd.hnp94e	“ What do they really think in there? ” he whis- pered.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What do you think of that?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What do you think of this matter? ” he asked, when they had got outside the house.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What had happened?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is it that's been found, exactly?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is it, Dr. Cortelyon? ” he asked as he pushed himself to the front.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is it, Mr. Barleyfield?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is it, Mr. Pawle? ” she demanded as she shook hands with her two squires.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is it, Viner? ” Viner gathered them round him with a look.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is it?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is the relevancy of this in relation to the prisoner and the charge against him? ” he inquired.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What is the truth? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What may it be? ” Mr. Van Hoeren made a significant grimace; it seemed to imply that there was a great deal to be told.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What time was that?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ What's it look like?
hvd.hnp94e	“ What's that? ” “ Smell for yourself,"answered Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What's to be done next? ” inquired Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What, for instance? ” asked Drillford.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What, then?'
hvd.hnp94e	“ What? ” demanded Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ What? ” “ That unlucky fellow Hyde, who is on remand, is to be brought before the magistrate tomorrow morn- ing,"answered Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ When was this?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Where are you taking me? ” “ To a solicitor's office- friends of mine,"an- swered Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Where did you get that, my dear? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Where is he? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Where is that?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Where is the rest of Mr. Ashton's property- his watch, chain, the other ring, his purse, and — wasn't there a pocketbook?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Which Countess of Ellingham, and which Lord Marketstoke? ” asked Viner. “ There have been- must have been- several during the last century."
hvd.hnp94e	“ Who found them? ” demanded Felpham.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Who was he?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Why did you not reply to them?
hvd.hnp94e	“ Why, then? ” demanded Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Why?!!
hvd.hnp94e	“ Why?!!.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Why?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ Will Mr. Ashton's body be brought here- to- night? ” she asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Will you take that off, and let me look at it? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ With no result? ” asked Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Would n't that be a good way? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Yes, I think I do remember — you were sitting in a corner near the hearth? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Yes, but what else — has he got a beard? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Yes? ” said Methley.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You did n't bring them to London with you? ” “ Of course not! ” answered the witness.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You did n't press him?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ You have come to town today? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You know something about it?
hvd.hnp94e	“ You know that I was at your people's office yes- terday? ” said Perkwite.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You mean to tell me that Ashton was walking about London with a dia- mond worth fifty thousand pounds in his pocket?
hvd.hnp94e	“ You mean- he had it on him when he was mur- dered? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You must know something about his daily life? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You must remember I was little more than five years old. ” “ Can you remember what he was like? ”.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You never knew that man's name? ” continued Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You only wish what, Hyde? ” asked Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You say there is something you can tell? ” ob- served Mr. Pawle.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You think that this Mr. Ashton was in possession of a secret relating to the missing man- my uncle, Lord Marketstoke? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You want to tell me something about this Ashton case?
hvd.hnp94e	“ You wanted me, I think? ” “ Our senior clerk, ” observed Mr. Carless, by way of introduction.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You wish to see memon business?"
hvd.hnp94e	“ You'll excuse me if I ask what relation you ladies are to Mr. Ashton? ” he said with a significant glance at Mrs. Killenhall.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You're a pretty good hand yourself, I think? ” suggested the barrister, with a smile.
hvd.hnp94e	“ You're still convinced of it? ” “ More than ever since seeing him just now,"af- firmed Viner.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Your clerk has no doubt already told you what I came about, Mr. Pawle? ” he said.
hvd.hnp94e	“ Your relations? ” questioned Viner.
mdp.39015000542996	And the time?
mdp.39015000542996	And what about your father's trial? mdp.39015000542996 And who is that bunch of scissorbills back in the bunk- house? ” asked Hank.
mdp.39015000542996	Any idea of where he might be?
mdp.39015000542996	Are you carrying your gun? ” She reached into her handbag, then stamped her foot with annoyance and surprise. mdp.39015000542996 Are you going to come peaceably? ” repeated Gilligan to Leonard.
mdp.39015000542996	Are you in the meat- packing business?
mdp.39015000542996	Boss'e go? ” “ Boss plenty hot. mdp.39015000542996 But how can we clear Father without involving Rain- No- More? ” “ That is the least of my troubles, ” Evans said.
mdp.39015000542996	Can I help you?
mdp.39015000542996	Can you fly as low as fifty feet? mdp.39015000542996 Did you know that an airplane stampeded Leonard's herd last night, on purpose?"
mdp.39015000542996	Did you mugs want something? ” he asked, then burst into raucous laughter as he neared the campfire. mdp.39015000542996 Did your son always have such a good head of hair? ” on vaseline, bay rum,$ 1.75.
mdp.39015000542996	In the name of Heaven, what is that gruesome object with human hair?
mdp.39015000542996	Is a sheriff supposed to go wandering out of the State? ” asked the Professor, who read law books in the long winter evenings. mdp.39015000542996 Is she safe?"
mdp.39015000542996	Is something wrong? ” he asked. mdp.39015000542996 Is that the consensus, boys? ” asked Jim Leonard, who was presiding.
mdp.39015000542996	Is this regular? ” asked Gilligan. mdp.39015000542996 Is your name Luigi, too?"
mdp.39015000542996	Now what would an Indian be doing over here at this time of night?
mdp.39015000542996	Shall I work on his puss? ” asked Hjalmar of Evans. mdp.39015000542996 Should we take a ride down Cottonwood Creek, to save a few steers? ” Hank asked.
mdp.39015000542996	The rough stuff? mdp.39015000542996 What day is it?"
mdp.39015000542996	What is Mr. Santo's profession?
mdp.39015000542996	What'll we do? mdp.39015000542996 Where did they get the body? ” asked Miriam.
mdp.39015000542996	Where is your Winchester 40- 40? mdp.39015000542996 Where is your place?"
mdp.39015000542996	Where will the sheepmen cross the deadline? mdp.39015000542996 Who has Leonard got to help him, if Gilligan and his gang try to run him out of the valley?"
mdp.39015000542996	Why ca n't I set a limit on the time for argument on the question of dismissal? mdp.39015000542996 Wise guy, eh?
mdp.39015000542996	You are sure young Santo will talk? ” Rain- No- More per- sisted. mdp.39015000542996 You said, friend Evans, that you had heard of me?
mdp.39015000542996	You're sure the dog wo n't misunderstand?
mdp.39015000542996	... Now what would Donniker Louey be doing in Circle, Montana?"
mdp.39015000542996	192 “ Are you sure? ” asked the sheriff.
mdp.39015000542996	336 asked Fish, Jr. “ Is he, perhaps, entitled to some special privi- leges or immunities not usual in a court of law? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	A bit corny, I'll admit, but there's something in it. ” 205 “ I could paint this God- forsaken country, but who'd believe it? ” said Hjalmar.
mdp.39015000542996	A man knows his own son, does n't he?"
mdp.39015000542996	All of a sudden he stopped short, circled and shot at something with his rifle. ” “ Where was Louey then?"
mdp.39015000542996	And with the judge, the jury and a countryful of Gilligan's witnesses all controlled by the sheepmen, what chance would her father have to go free?
mdp.39015000542996	And, by the way, you're all set to go west at six- twelve?"
mdp.39015000542996	Are they merely playing pranks?
mdp.39015000542996	Both of them are gone. ” “ Do you lock your cabin door? ” asked Evans.
mdp.39015000542996	Bullhorrors?"
mdp.39015000542996	By the way, Lvov Vassilievitch, exactly who are our enemies and what is the row about?
mdp.39015000542996	By the way, are you boys hungry? ”"I long for meat, ” said Rain- No- More.
mdp.39015000542996	By the way, is this Louisiana, this beauteous department?"
mdp.39015000542996	By the way, when does Gilligan bring his sheep back from Idaho? ”"Not before the last of May, ” Trout- tail said.
mdp.39015000542996	Can do or no can do?"
mdp.39015000542996	Can this young rah- rah boy ask me about my private business?
mdp.39015000542996	Can you think up some- thing before Jackson gets here? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	Could I tell Father?
mdp.39015000542996	Could it be defended against the thoughtless folk then living?
mdp.39015000542996	Did he not go straight to my Hydrangea, who was lost on the prairie?
mdp.39015000542996	Did n't you see him at Muddy Creek? ” asked Hjalmar.
mdp.39015000542996	Diverting? ” Evans asked.
mdp.39015000542996	Do I continue, in English, or shall we go into a brace or two of doctrines in Latin?
mdp.39015000542996	Do n't you know a pickpocket who would under- take an easy job for a liberal honorarium?
mdp.39015000542996	Do you reckon Gilligan's crazy enough to put a bunch of hungry sheep there now? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	Do you regret leaving Paris for a while?"
mdp.39015000542996	Do you use the oil of this lowly but beneficent serpent straight or diluted, may I inquire? ” Trout- tail III smiled.
mdp.39015000542996	Does that deter Gilligan?
mdp.39015000542996	Fish if I may talk with him, in the upstairs reception room?"
mdp.39015000542996	Gilligan, would you mind taking the stand again?"
mdp.39015000542996	Gilligan?"
mdp.39015000542996	Had another stranger disappeared?
mdp.39015000542996	Has he got a badge?"
mdp.39015000542996	Have you ascertained?"
mdp.39015000542996	His sheep and his men were safely on the cattle range; so what could a single airplane do?
mdp.39015000542996	How could Rain- No- More prove he 77 was guilty, if the sheriff would not take his word for it, which was not within the realm of probability?
mdp.39015000542996	How could you be so careless?
mdp.39015000542996	How should he proceed?
mdp.39015000542996	How was it possible for her to dig up on an hour's notice more money than he had made raising cattle in the last five years?
mdp.39015000542996	However did you find him?"
mdp.39015000542996	I could put on camping or shooting togs, if I could find any here, but do you think the jury'd resent my inflection?
mdp.39015000542996	I talked with him day before yes- terday, and he wanted me to bring him certain thingumabobs 326 “ Fish, did you say?"
mdp.39015000542996	In fact, how many of us owe our lives to Evans, on how many occasions? ” Hjalmar reached for his hat.
mdp.39015000542996	Is it getting us anywhere? ” asked Gilligan.
mdp.39015000542996	Is that really true?"
mdp.39015000542996	Is that understood?"
mdp.39015000542996	Just how should he begin?
mdp.39015000542996	Leaves at six- ten, if I'm not mistaken. ”"And how am I going to eat? ” the reporter asked.
mdp.39015000542996	May I ask if any among you know how to fly this machine? ” The buckaroos and all the others shook their heads with chagrin.
mdp.39015000542996	May I ask what for? ” “ Look here, Judge.
mdp.39015000542996	Monsieur Evans, you who have encyclopedic knowl- edge, what is, exactly, a Susie Q?
mdp.39015000542996	My father?
mdp.39015000542996	No use kicking against the pricks, as the Talmud says, or is it the New Testament?"
mdp.39015000542996	Not surprised, did you say?
mdp.39015000542996	Nothing awful has happened?"
mdp.39015000542996	Now ai n't it a bleedin'shame?
mdp.39015000542996	Now who would have been obtuse enough to commit an idiocy like that? ” “ The sheepherders, ” Miriam said.
mdp.39015000542996	Oh, not the scalp?"
mdp.39015000542996	Oh, why did n't I shoot Gilligan, and argue with officials afterward?
mdp.39015000542996	Or should I make him talk slowly?
mdp.39015000542996	Say, what is this here omnia prae- something or other?
mdp.39015000542996	Shall she keep him company? ” asked Paperhanger Stuntz.
mdp.39015000542996	Shall we prove in court that the corpse is not Louey, or merely that your father did not send its soul soaring upward before its time?
mdp.39015000542996	Should he consult Evans, and thus lose sight of the Englishman, who obviously was a confederate of Gilligan, or should he stick where he was?
mdp.39015000542996	So what can a lawyer do or say? ” the rancher had repeated again and again.
mdp.39015000542996	The question is: can he be of further use to us, alive?
mdp.39015000542996	The question is: what has aroused their curiosity, and how deeply is it rooted in their youthful minds?
mdp.39015000542996	The question was: would they believe him?
mdp.39015000542996	Then, of Wing Lee, he asked: “ Gilligan'e go? ” The Chinks nodded.
mdp.39015000542996	They might reach the railroad and find their children, but how, in a blizzard, could they get back again?
mdp.39015000542996	This evening?
mdp.39015000542996	Understand? ”"He's got a warrant, signed and sworn, ” said Gilligan.
mdp.39015000542996	Was he catching the fever that drove so many of his countrymen to pointless activity?
mdp.39015000542996	Was it by any chance that one I saw last night within reach of your bed?
mdp.39015000542996	Was the Law about to make an- other onslaught?
mdp.39015000542996	We can slaughter them at will, as the first Great White Father did the Hes- sians. ” “ Are the whites supplied with liquor?"
mdp.39015000542996	Were you in earnest, or in kindness trying to put me at ease in a strange country?"
mdp.39015000542996	What brings him out to Bridgeport?
mdp.39015000542996	What could a Chicago tenderfoot do with an injured man in the brush?
mdp.39015000542996	What did Gilligan have in mind?
mdp.39015000542996	What else did the herders see? ” Gilligan turned to Stumpbroke.
mdp.39015000542996	What else would he have those gangsters for?"
mdp.39015000542996	What have you got to say?"
mdp.39015000542996	What is the matter? ” she asked, her hands poised in their characteristic interrogatory and expectant way.
mdp.39015000542996	What position would I be in, if there should be an abduction?
mdp.39015000542996	What shall I do? ” The handsome young Indian smiled.
mdp.39015000542996	What to do?
mdp.39015000542996	What were them strays, antelopes? ” asked Hank.
mdp.39015000542996	What would I be doing, passing my last afternoon in Chi with a lot of toxicologists?
mdp.39015000542996	When do we start?
mdp.39015000542996	When does it begin? ” Hjalmar asked.
mdp.39015000542996	Where is she? ”"I do n't know her, ” grunted Nutcracker Ike.
mdp.39015000542996	Where you from? ” Tom, seeing the star on Hockaday's shirt front, felt some- what relieved.
mdp.39015000542996	Which one of us has not, since landing in America, felt the urge to lay aside his native caution?
mdp.39015000542996	Who knows?
mdp.39015000542996	Who knows? ” asked Homer.
mdp.39015000542996	Why did your father send you here? ” “ The story is a long one, ” Rain- No- More began.
mdp.39015000542996	Why do n't you speak your little piece yourself? ” Slipnoose Pete, at that point, ambled over and placed his back against the door.
mdp.39015000542996	Why high- hat this Eastern fellow, just because he's weighted down with money?
mdp.39015000542996	Why not I? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	Why not go on to Glendive?
mdp.39015000542996	Why stop at this farm house?
mdp.39015000542996	Will he squeal?"
mdp.39015000542996	Will you undertake to help me? ” Both agreed without reservation.
mdp.39015000542996	Wo n't that look good?
mdp.39015000542996	Would Monsieur Weiss be with us here tonight?
mdp.39015000542996	You do n't mind a consultation? ” Trout- tail III bowed courteously.
mdp.39015000542996	You remember the place, Miriam?
mdp.39015000542996	You remember the sorrel?
mdp.39015000542996	You ting luffnecks catchim one- piece dead fella? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	You'll keep that under your hat, wo n't you, Terry? ”"Even if I blow my top, I wo n't give you away, ” the heir of Gilligan said.
mdp.39015000542996	Your son, whom I saw just recently, is anxious, I am sure, for you to behave circumspectly. ” “ You would n't hurt the boy?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ A new fad you've taken up?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ And what business did he have with the boss?
mdp.39015000542996	“ And what if I do?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Any news from the lower valley? ” he would ask.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Any news? ” Evans asked, observing the reporter's uneasiness.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Any questions? ” Rain- No- More asked curtly.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Are there other ranches besides Leonard's on the cattle range east of Redwater? ” Homer inquired.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Are you a war veteran? ” the Chief of Detectives asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Are you going to answer civil questions, or shall I kick this snow away? ” Hank asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Are you kidding? ” asked Jackson.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Be quiet, ca n't you? ” the Professor said.
mdp.39015000542996	“ But Dad?
mdp.39015000542996	“ By the way, is there any feeling, any sectional feeling, I mean, against East- erners?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Ca n't you orangoutangs rub out one punk without artillery?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Can the other boys get in on this? ” he asked, his misgivings lulled by the potent rye.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Can you find out where he is, and what he's doing? ” Evans asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Can you qualify as an arms expert in a court of law?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Chief, ” he said, “ you have been sent to America to study methods of tracking down criminals, have you not? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Did he bring references from any persons or concerns for whom he had worked? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Do n't you ever hanker to go back teaching school? ” asked Pete.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Do you know him?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Do you or any of your boys want to call me a liar? ” asked Leonard, and all the cowboys rose.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Do you think he's holding out on us? ” the Republican from Butte would ask.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Do you want to start now, at this time of day?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Does it not seem, ” asked Dr. Hyacinthe Toudoux of Fré- mont,"that our friend from Boston is running the chance of antagonizing the jurymen?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Evans. ” “ What the hell do you want?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Everything iake? ” asked the agent.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Excuse me, sir, but where shall you place the posters? ” asked Sergeant Bonnet.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Father of a family?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ First of all, Mr. Gilligan, I wish to ask you if you are sure that you talked with the deceased on November 28? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Gilligan? ” he asked, when the connection was established.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Got any chicken feed? ” asked Santo, tossing out a hundred dollar bill.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Have you got the radiograms from Hank and Hugo Weiss? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ He is mistaken about his profession, why not about his offspring?
mdp.39015000542996	“ He'd better not try any rough stuff, had he?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ He's Larkspur Gilligan's son. ” “ Does he know you?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ How about the eight ball?
mdp.39015000542996	“ How about them Indians? ” demanded Leonard.
mdp.39015000542996	“ How about you? ” asked Leonard of the former railroad dick.
mdp.39015000542996	“ How are chances for a job?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ How could I have doubted you for a moment? ” she said.
mdp.39015000542996	“ How far back do the records of your tribe go, about scalping, I mean? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	“ How is Wibaux in the spring?
mdp.39015000542996	“ How many of them are there?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ How soon, in your judgment, will the Shoshones attack? ” “ Two hours, three at the most,"said the Indian.
mdp.39015000542996	“ I beg your pardon? ” the judge said, obviously rattled.
mdp.39015000542996	“ I felt sorry for the old man and asked him to stay at my place, that's all. ”"You did n't prime him a bit, by any chance? ” Bang!
mdp.39015000542996	“ I knew he'd come through. ” “ Then why is n't this bloody Indian on the lam?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ I must ask the counsel for the defense to state where this questioning is leading?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ I'm goin'back to the homestead and get in my oats before the witnesses are called. ”"Ca n't you submit a brief? ” asked the judge, of Fish.
mdp.39015000542996	“ I'm just along for the exercise. ” “ Is that the way you feel, Pete? ” asked Leonard.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Is Monsieur Evans with you? ” The Boxer shook his head.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Is it, perchance, like the reforms of Julius Caesar or Code Napoléon? ” “ Ah, capital.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Is n't that banana who's kneading the ivories a gon from Chi? ” whispered the Paperhanger hoarsely.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Is she really so unruly in your absence?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Is this stuff perti- nent? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ May I watch? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ May we not thrash out the ethics of this maneuver at some later date, preferably when our loved ones are in a place of safety?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Moritz, like me, is attracted by the unusual. ”"Oh, are you, Homer? ” breathed Miriam, standing close to him.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Moritz,"he continued, “ would you like another workout, or would that be asking too much? ” For answer the dog rose to his feet and got set.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Now what did he want to come a- hornin'into Dawson County for?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Now what short unathletic man would be ass enough to venture into the lower Yellowstone region at this season in stylish low Ox- fords?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Now why ca n't you and me get together?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Now would n't that rattle a man? ” he said.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Oh, Homer, are you sure?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Oh, what the hell's the use of all that stuff?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Oh, ” gasped Miriam,"was that necessary, Elk Calf, my childhood friend? ”"Quite,"said the Indian.
mdp.39015000542996	“ On the level?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Perhaps I shall attempt it, who knows?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Pop away. ” “ Will you tell me why you thought you might find Evans here in Mondak? ” asked Rain- No- More.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Profession? ” A.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Purely by chance, or did you send for him? ” A.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Say, who in hell is prisoner here, anyway? ” demanded Santo.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Shall I help you get the thing going?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Shall we try him out with a stranger? ” asked Evans.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Should the blackest of despair descend upon us and our unhappy land forever and a day, could it be said that we have lived in vain?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Since when do we do business with sheepherders? ” asked Hank, looking him straight in the eye and setting himself to rise.
mdp.39015000542996	“ That's fair enough, is n't it?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ The hell you say?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Then your father killed another duffer?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ They hang around the store in wintertime..."“ How come those two herders are n't down in Idaho on the winter range, where they belong?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ They wo n't find a dead man, or will they? ”"If not, I shall be surprised, ” Evans said.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Wakeful, Bird Cherry? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Was that the first time you ever saw him?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Well, Doc?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ What about Galilee Zach?
mdp.39015000542996	“ What business had this lousy pair of sheepherders on the east side of Redwater?
mdp.39015000542996	“ What for no makee path to can? ” he asked indignantly.
mdp.39015000542996	“ What friends? ” asked Miriam, as her heart leaped in anticipation.
mdp.39015000542996	“ What is the talk about? ” asked Stenka, in French.
mdp.39015000542996	“ What shall we do? ”"Let me talk with Weiss,"Tom said.
mdp.39015000542996	“ What the devil?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ What's loose down below? ” he asked of Bat- ear.
mdp.39015000542996	“ What's this? ” Jim Leonard came up gruffly; then his face turned crimson with rage and surprise.
mdp.39015000542996	“ What?
mdp.39015000542996	“ When an adversary is crawling out on a limb, why offer discouragement?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Where are you fellers from? ” demanded Jim Leonard grimly.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Where were you, Mr. Gilligan, on the 28th of November last?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Where's Homer?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Who ai n't?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Who goes there? ” asked Evans.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Who knows?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Who was the friend who recommended him?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Who's that with them? ” asked the Professor, squinting.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Who's the tenderfoot?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Why did n't you wait till then to raise this hullabaloo?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Why do n't you try to improve your mind? ”.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Why not hold this scoundrel and his plane and press him and it into service?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Why not pinch the bridge near 381 Bison Creek, haul it up river with an eighteen- horse team, then sling it across where we want it?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Why wait? ” humanitarian motives, but in order to preserve the hootch supply from possible ruin.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Why?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Will that help? ”"No judge would refuse us time, in that case, ” Fish said, and dabbed at his forehead with his handkerchief.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Will you do me another favor? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Will you go peaceably?
mdp.39015000542996	“ Will you join me for a smoke? ” asked Homer.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Wo n't one of the men do better? ” asked Jim Leonard.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Wo n't you have a drink? ” Homer asked of Zach, who was enchanted with the atmosphere of tasteful luxury.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Would you mind going to my cabin for the book that is on the bed- table? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000542996	“ You do n't remember what you told us last night? ” asked the sheriff.
mdp.39015000542996	“ You do n't say? ” he asked, assuming his best poker face.
mdp.39015000542996	“ You mean the doctors?
mdp.39015000542996	“ You the sheriff? ” he asked, ignoring the re- quest for autobiographical details.
mdp.39015000542996	“ You wish to cross- examine the witness?"
mdp.39015000542996	“ Your name? ” A.
mdp.39015000542996	“ Ça c'est parfaitement logique, pas?"
hvd.hwkyuw	A what?
hvd.hwkyuw	By the bye, ” Lutchester inquired, “ is Fischer still in New York? ” “ No, he's in Washington,Van Teyl replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	What does it matter,he demanded, “ who handles this formula — you or I?
hvd.hwkyuw	Why particularly this evening?
hvd.hwkyuw	. “ But why make it to me?"
hvd.hwkyuw	... And uncle's plans, ” she went on re- flectively, “ have become a little changed, have n't they?"
hvd.hwkyuw	... New Zealand?"
hvd.hwkyuw	... Ninety- five?
hvd.hwkyuw	... Say, who's that?"
hvd.hwkyuw	... What's that?
hvd.hwkyuw	... What?
hvd.hwkyuw	... “ You and Jimmy? ” “ I guess that's so,"Mr. Fischer assented.
hvd.hwkyuw	222 THE PAWNS COUNT “ That so?
hvd.hwkyuw	298 THE PAWNS COUNT “ What has Governor Roughton been doing, Mr. Fischer?
hvd.hwkyuw	32 THE PAWNS COUNT “ What, the guy that missed his lunch to- day? ” he growled.
hvd.hwkyuw	6 Is that true of Mr. Fischer? ” “ Absolutely,"Lutchester assured her.
hvd.hwkyuw	6 Well, ” he inquired, “ what do you make of it? ” “ There's more in that question than you think, James, ” Pamela replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	6 Why, Mr. Lutchester,"she demanded, “ how on earth did you get here? ” “ Across the Atlantic, ” he replied amiably.
hvd.hwkyuw	6 You wo n't mind?
hvd.hwkyuw	66 Tell me some more about your little adventure in Fifth Avenue?
hvd.hwkyuw	66 To wait on Mr. Van Teyl and Mr. Fischer, eh?
hvd.hwkyuw	66 Yes. ” “ What time will the New York sail? ” “ In three- quarters of an hour.
hvd.hwkyuw	86 THE PAWNS COUNT “ Just what do you mean by that? ” he asked thickly.
hvd.hwkyuw	98 THE PAWNS COUNT “ You have n't heard, then? ” “ I have heard nothing.
hvd.hwkyuw	? ” “ Of course I do, ” he assented.
hvd.hwkyuw	A foreb she nary type of a nice, well- bred, unintelligent, self- sufficient Englishman, or"“ Or what? ” Fischer asked, with interest.
hvd.hwkyuw	Accustomed to self- analysis, she asked herself swiftly — what?
hvd.hwkyuw	Ah, well, why should I be surprised?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Am I not right?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Am I to go to Scotland Yard and tell them so?
hvd.hwkyuw	And so far as regards Fischer, I do not wish him interfered with for the present. ” “ You do not wish him interfered with?
hvd.hwkyuw	And you think that these written words —? ” “ Give the key to me,"he begged, “ and ask no questions."
hvd.hwkyuw	And, Graham. ” 58 THE PAWNS COUNT 6 Yes?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Anything else, Mr. Fischer?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Are you going to give me an idea of what's moving?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Are you quite sure that we have n't missed him? ” “ There has n't been a sign of him,"Molly declared promptly.
hvd.hwkyuw	Bookam?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Burning something when I came in, were n't you?
hvd.hwkyuw	By the bye, will you both come out and dine with me to- night? ” Van Teyl glanced at his sister.
hvd.hwkyuw	By the bye, you got my letter? ” THE PAWNS COUNT 193 “ I have n't opened it yet, ” Fischer snapped.
hvd.hwkyuw	By the bye, ” he went on, “ is your brother in, do you happen to know?
hvd.hwkyuw	Can you not realise why Japan is keeping out of this war?
hvd.hwkyuw	Come, what do they do with the people who disappear from the restaurant?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Could n't you ring up Scotland Yard now?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Did you examine the contents of the pocket- book?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Do I have the key of that chapel? ” “ You do not. ” “ Have you got it? ” “ Right here, ” Joseph assented, dangling it before her eyes.
hvd.hwkyuw	Do I have the key of that chapel? ” “ You do not. ” “ Have you got it? ” “ Right here, ” Joseph assented, dangling it before her eyes.
hvd.hwkyuw	Do you feel the life going out of you?
hvd.hwkyuw	Do you happen to have seen the latest telegrams?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Do you know much about the Japanese, Miss Pamela?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Do you know that I came up on deck in a state of great agitation?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Does that go? ” “ You'll find the deposit there, ” Fischer promised.
hvd.hwkyuw	Fifth Avenue way and the swagger parts, eh?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Fischer, ” she asked, “ what about that news?
hvd.hwkyuw	Fischer?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Fischer?"
hvd.hwkyuw	For you Germany comes first. ” “ But ca n't you realise,"he went on eagerly,"that THE PAWNS COUNT 137 even this is for the best?
hvd.hwkyuw	Forgive me, but are n't we wasting time, Mr. Lutchester?
hvd.hwkyuw	Got any enemies? ” “ None that I know of, ” Lutchester answered cautiously.
hvd.hwkyuw	Got anything with you? ” Fischer nodded.
hvd.hwkyuw	Had a pleasant voyage? ” “ Storms for the first few days — after that all right, ” Fischer replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	Have you any theories, Miss Van Teyl? ” “ I can tell you who has,"she replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	Have you anything to say to me, Ni- kasti?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Have you earned it? ” he added, a little curiously.
hvd.hwkyuw	Have you heard from your brother lately?"
hvd.hwkyuw	He is a great patron of yours, is he not?
hvd.hwkyuw	He is thoroughly Ger- man, is n't he?"
hvd.hwkyuw	He rang her up on the tele- phone. ” “ Did they suspect Miss Van Teyl, then, of having taken your pocketbook? ” Graham shook his head.
hvd.hwkyuw	He thought he had us in a corner last night, and then a miracle happened. ” “ You mean that fellow Lutchester turning up?"
hvd.hwkyuw	How can you be sure of it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	How did you hear about it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	How far might it not drag him down?
hvd.hwkyuw	How much do you owe him, Jimmy?"
hvd.hwkyuw	How should I hear? ” “ I took him straight back to my rooms after we left you,"Lutchester began.
hvd.hwkyuw	I am right so far, am I not? ” Hassan answered nothing.
hvd.hwkyuw	I have had one shock already this evening, and you are the second. ” “ The first, I trust, was not disagreeable? ” She shrugged her shoulders.
hvd.hwkyuw	I have scarcely thanked you yet for returning the pocketbook, have I? ” His face was inscrutable.
hvd.hwkyuw	I saw her come down again, three minutes later. ” “ Miss Van Teyl? ” Fischer exclaimed, with a frown.
hvd.hwkyuw	I should have thought your interests would have lain the other way. ” “ As an individual? ” “ As an American."
hvd.hwkyuw	I suppose it's the wind, or is it the stars, or the silence, or what?
hvd.hwkyuw	I swear to you, Dick, I've done it! ” “ Done what?
hvd.hwkyuw	I wonder what he's doing here... Jimmy! ” “ Hallo, Sis?"
hvd.hwkyuw	I'm good enough, are n't I?
hvd.hwkyuw	If I move my revolver the other two will get the drop on me — I think that is the correct expression?
hvd.hwkyuw	If I need your help, will you give it me? ” “ If I can,"she promised.
hvd.hwkyuw	If she is all the world to you, why did you send me that little note?
hvd.hwkyuw	If you do that, I think a way will be found for you out of your troubles. ” “ But what is to become of me?"
hvd.hwkyuw	If, indeed, he knew 126 THE PAWNS COUNT what was passing around him to that extent, how much more knowledge might he not possess?
hvd.hwkyuw	Is that Claridge's Hotel? ” Fischer went on.
hvd.hwkyuw	Is that it, eh, Fischer?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Is that neutrality?
hvd.hwkyuw	Is that, perhaps, another word too slight, eh? ” He met the provocative gleam of her eyes with a smile of amusement.
hvd.hwkyuw	It is Miss Van Teyl who speaks?
hvd.hwkyuw	It is one of the secrets on which the future of Germany depends. ” “ And the price?
hvd.hwkyuw	It makes quite a small world of it, does n't it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	It was n't altogether by accident you met him down at Baltusrol, was it? ” “ It was not, ” he confessed.
hvd.hwkyuw	It will remain there until I get to Washington, or until Mr. Haskall comes to me. ” “ Haskall, the Government explosives man?"
hvd.hwkyuw	It will save trouble. ” “ Are you mad? ” she demanded breathlessly.
hvd.hwkyuw	Leaving aside that other matter, what is your proposition to me?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Looked like a cable, eh? ” “ A dispatch from London, ” Nikasti confided.
hvd.hwkyuw	May I introduce Philip Downing?"
hvd.hwkyuw	No offence, eh? ” “ Certainly not, ” Lutchester replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	No, say about what?
hvd.hwkyuw	Not one of them even knows where it is. ” “ But the attack upon me?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Now I, on the other hand, have n't shown you my hand yet. ” “ Heard all that Mr. Fischer has to say?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Now will you kindly tell Hassan that I wish to speak to him, or shall I go and find him for myself?"
hvd.hwkyuw	On the other hand, there's just one thing I want from you. ” “ What is it?
hvd.hwkyuw	One moment, ” he added quickly, as Mrs. Hastings stepped forward to meet them; “ the reception at the British Embassy to- night?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Perhaps it would be more convenient if I came round in the morning?
hvd.hwkyuw	Perhaps that is the reason why I have never married. ” “ Dear me, are you a woman- hater? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	Perhaps you will tell me what it is that you do want?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Repeat that, will you?
hvd.hwkyuw	Say, can I ask you a question?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Say, is anything wrong with you?
hvd.hwkyuw	Seen your sister yet? ” “ Not yet.
hvd.hwkyuw	Shall I begin to buy back for you?
hvd.hwkyuw	Shall I call out? ” His hands and knee were gone from the table.
hvd.hwkyuw	Sup- posing for a moment that Lutchester was also out for the great things, was he fooled by her attitude?
hvd.hwkyuw	Surely we're going for him?"
hvd.hwkyuw	THE PAWNS COUNT 175 “ Some swell, I suppose?
hvd.hwkyuw	THE PAWNS COUNT 187 “ So Fischer has taken you into his confidence, has he? ” he murmured.
hvd.hwkyuw	THE PAWNS COUNT 31 “ What the hell are you talking about? ” he gasped.
hvd.hwkyuw	THE PAWNS COUNT 51 “ A woman? ” he repeated.
hvd.hwkyuw	THE PAWNS COUNT “ Where is the formula? ” Fischer asked fiercely.
hvd.hwkyuw	THE PAWNS COUNT “ You are sure, ” she asked, “ that you do not mind my leaving the rest of this affair in your hands?
hvd.hwkyuw	Take my sister and Miss Van Teyl in, will you?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Tell me at once?
hvd.hwkyuw	Tell me more about it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Tell me something about your work at the War Office?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Tell me the truth at once? ” He leaned forward in his chair towards her.
hvd.hwkyuw	Tell me, what have you done with your prize? ” Mr. Fischer looked very humble.
hvd.hwkyuw	Tell me, ” he added, looking around,"we are to be alone here? ” “ Absolutely,"Fischer replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	That is why I was on the lookout, the day I went there. ” “ You mean the day that pocketbook was stolen that the whole world seems crazy about?"
hvd.hwkyuw	That the office of Neville, Brooks and Van Teyl?
hvd.hwkyuw	That was a wonderful luncheon you gave us to- day. ” “ Madame is very kind. ” “ Will you do me a favour?"
hvd.hwkyuw	That would be my text. ” “ Shall I be perfectly frank? ” Pamela asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	The German and British fleets have met, and the victory has remained with us. ” “ With us?
hvd.hwkyuw	The orchestra consists entirely of Americans, I sup- pose?
hvd.hwkyuw	The thing to do seems to me to follow him. ” “ To follow Fischer? ” Graham repeated vaguely.
hvd.hwkyuw	The words, when they came, sounded strange to him, “ What-- where am I?
hvd.hwkyuw	There is the musicians'room, is n't there, just over the entrance hall?
hvd.hwkyuw	There was more than a dash of melodrama in it, was n't there?
hvd.hwkyuw	There will be news in the evening papers. ” “ News?
hvd.hwkyuw	There's news in the air. ” “ There has been a great battle, perhaps?"
hvd.hwkyuw	They believe that secretly he is in 278 THE PAWNS COUNT sympathy with Nikasti's reports- but you do n't know about those, I suppose? ”.
hvd.hwkyuw	They're after the financial interest, I suppose. ” “ Is your uncle a keen politician?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Very well, then, I ask you, what has Japan gained?
hvd.hwkyuw	Was it possible that Lutchester was the other and the central figure in that remarkable rescue?
hvd.hwkyuw	Was n't he here for several hours with you this afternoon?
hvd.hwkyuw	Was there any pos- sible explanation of his opportune appearance on the night before with a dummy pocketbook and a concocted story?
hvd.hwkyuw	We are n't. ” 186 THE PAWNS COUNT “ What was your profession?
hvd.hwkyuw	We offer a great and substantial advantage, a safeguard for THE PAWNS COUNT 229 your country's future, in return for what?
hvd.hwkyuw	We'll be at the Oriental at eight o'clock, eh? ” 198 THE PAWNS COUNT Fischer looked up from the fascinating patchwork below.
hvd.hwkyuw	Were these the thoughts you had in your mind when you sent your little note?
hvd.hwkyuw	Were you in any way troubled or embarrassed by the pres- ence of the little Japanese gentleman?"
hvd.hwkyuw	What about Australia?
hvd.hwkyuw	What about the great German victory in the North Sea, Mr. Fischer?
hvd.hwkyuw	What are you going to Washington for? ” She smiled.
hvd.hwkyuw	What are you thinking of me — that I am a little animal who loves comfort too much, eh? ” Lutchester smiled.
hvd.hwkyuw	What did you say your name was? ” “ Nikasti, sir."
hvd.hwkyuw	What do you mean?"
hvd.hwkyuw	What do you say, Nikasti?
hvd.hwkyuw	What do you think?
hvd.hwkyuw	What do you think?
hvd.hwkyuw	What do you want with me?
hvd.hwkyuw	What does she want it for, do you think?
hvd.hwkyuw	What have I to do with any proposition you may have to make? ” “ Just this, ” he explained.
hvd.hwkyuw	What have you to do with my brother, any- way?"
hvd.hwkyuw	What in thunder does it all mean? ” Pamela looked at the fragments of paper upon the floor and sank back in an easy chair.
hvd.hwkyuw	What price are Anglo- French?
hvd.hwkyuw	What price are Anglo- French?
hvd.hwkyuw	What the devil have you got to do with it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	What the hell do they want you for? ” Nikasti shook his head slowly.
hvd.hwkyuw	What you want here, mistress?"
hvd.hwkyuw	What's the figure?"
hvd.hwkyuw	What?
hvd.hwkyuw	When she arrives here to- night, it will in all probability be in her possession. ” “ Well?
hvd.hwkyuw	Where are the enemies'ears to come from, I should like to know? ” Where we least expect to find them, as a rule,"was the grave reply.
hvd.hwkyuw	Where are you dining? ” “ Downstairs,"Van Teyl replied gloomily.
hvd.hwkyuw	Where do I go? ”"I'll show you, ” Lutchester volunteered.
hvd.hwkyuw	Where do you come in, anyway?
hvd.hwkyuw	Where is it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Which do you think would be better for America- That Germany and Austria won this war, or the Allies?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Who?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Why could n't you tell me that Lady Rid- lingshawe was your cousin?
hvd.hwkyuw	Why do n't you try one of the summer hotels on Long Island? ” Nikasti shook his head.
hvd.hwkyuw	Why not Oscar Fischer?
hvd.hwkyuw	Why not let Fischer do the business?
hvd.hwkyuw	Why not wait till next week?
hvd.hwkyuw	Why should n't Eng- land have the advantage from her navy?
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you accept our mission?
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you go back to Tokio and see the Emperor? ” Nikasti bowed.
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you have a Western bishop or a rather dull Englishman? ” “ What is the name of the Englishman? ” Pamela asked, with sudden intuition.
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you have a Western bishop or a rather dull Englishman? ” “ What is the name of the Englishman? ” Pamela asked, with sudden intuition.
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you marry me? ” Pamela shook her head.
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you sit down, please?"
hvd.hwkyuw	Will you stand by the girls for a moment, Lutchester, while I have a look round? ” he added.
hvd.hwkyuw	Yes?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You answer China?
hvd.hwkyuw	You are not angry with me?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You are not going to suggest that we do n't turn the police on to that damned place?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You are staying with your uncle and aunt in Washington, are you not?
hvd.hwkyuw	You are willing to face that?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You ca n't suggest that I am to leave these fellows alone and not give information to the police?
hvd.hwkyuw	You have heard of him?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You know Ed Swindles? ” “ Not by name, ” Fischer confessed.
hvd.hwkyuw	You know me? ” 26 THE PAWNS COUNT “ Yes, mistress,"he answered unwillingly.
hvd.hwkyuw	You know that the Baron von Schwerin has a dinner- party? ” “ I know that, ” he assented.
hvd.hwkyuw	You know where we met last?
hvd.hwkyuw	You know you stand to net at least half a million, Mr. Lut- chester?
hvd.hwkyuw	You remem- ber the Château d'Albert?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You understand me?
hvd.hwkyuw	You understand? ” “ I always understand,"Van Teyl muttered.
hvd.hwkyuw	You understand?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You want the formula back, do n't you? ” “ My God, yes! ” Graham muttered fervently.
hvd.hwkyuw	You were at Henry's were n't you, on the night the Lapland sailed?
hvd.hwkyuw	You will be my friend, John?
hvd.hwkyuw	You will finish telling me your experiences another time, wo n't you?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You will not fight again, eh?
hvd.hwkyuw	You will not leave me all alone? ” He patted her hand.
hvd.hwkyuw	You're not going to tell me that Lutchester's in the THE PAWNS COUNT 131 game?
hvd.hwkyuw	You've gone through the papers I sent you?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You've got to help me with your sister. ” “ But how? ” Van Teyl demanded.
hvd.hwkyuw	You've heard of the Heste case? ” “ You mean the girl who was murdered?"
hvd.hwkyuw	You've heard of the Heste case? ” “ You mean the girl who was murdered?"
hvd.hwkyuw	« Queer set out, is n't it?
hvd.hwkyuw	« Well, what is it that you do, then?
hvd.hwkyuw	» “ Why not?"
hvd.hwkyuw	— is it superfluous or not?"
hvd.hwkyuw	— when you chose to show yourself once more in my life?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Absolutely certain. ” “ Do you think you can remember now what hap- pened when you went upstairs?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And England?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And from there? ” Hassan was suddenly voluble.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And now? ” Nikasti asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And see her brother disgraced, ” Fischer re- minded him, “ tried at the Criminal Court for theft and sent to Sing Sing?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And the autograph letter? ” “ That I have, ” Fischer announced.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And the quid pro quo?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And the second thing you mentioned?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And what exactly is that?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And why is the Atlantic unnegotiable?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And why not?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ And your golf with Senator Hamblin?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Any chance of it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Any one called me up?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Any submarines? ” “ Not a sight of one.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Anything wrong, old fellow? ” he asked anx- iously.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are n't you hurt?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are those things under present consideration?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are you a chemist, Mr. Fischer? ” she inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are you going to repeat that you want this formula for Washington and not for Berlin?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are you sure that you had it with you when you came into Henry's? ” Lutchester inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are you sure,"she asked, “ that the formula it- self would not find its way into your father's coun- try?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Are you there, Kato?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Besides, I should hate you to marry her. ” “ A little blunt, are you not, my young friend? ” Fischer remarked amiably.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Bit too far the other way round. ” “ Yes, but what on?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ But where did you get it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ But why not? ” “ For certain very definite reasons with which you need n't trouble yourself just now,"Lutchester pro- nounced.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ But you are well and strong again now, is it not so?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ But you?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ By the bye, are you particularly fond of your uncle? ” “ Not riotously, ” she admitted.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ By the bye, do you remember all that fuss about the disappearance of a young soldier that morning at Henry's?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Ca n't you hear them yapping about in the office outside?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Can you do anything with it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Could n't keep a thing that did n't belong to me, could I?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Could n't we go there for a few mo- ments?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Dear me! ” “ How do you know that I searched him?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Did any one else enter the musicians'room whilst he was lying in the alcove?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Did they come direct from the States?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Did you recognise the man with whom he was playing? ” Pamela inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do I seem so? ” he replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do I under- stand that he has been down in?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do n't tell me, Mr. Fischer,"she protested,"that ever in your practical life you have spent a single moment in dreams?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do you come here to dance?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do you mean that you, too, are thinking of taking a holiday from your strenuous labours?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do you remember Baron Sunyea making a re- mark afterwards?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do you want to save yourself, Joseph?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Do you want to see him alone?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Done your bit o'business, eh? ” the landlady asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Enough?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Even the pocketbook was a fake, then? ” She nodded.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Feel strong enough to walk about fifty yards?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Fischer is a Westerner, is n't he?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Fischer, are you sure of what you're saying?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Fischer, ” he asked, “ what made you go into this so big?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ For negligence? ” “ For participation,"was the grave reply.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ For the greatest of all. ” “ Do I take anything but words to Tokio? ” the Japanese asked softly.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ For whom do you speak?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ From James?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ From Washington, eh?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Gay scene, is n't it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Get any references with him?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Golf?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Got a head like a turnip and a tongue like a lime- kiln, but I'm beginning — to feel myself. ” “ How's your memory? ” “ Hazy.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Got you into a kind of hornets'nest, eh? ” he observed.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Has Mr. Fischer gone, Ferrani? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Have you tried the bar? ” Lutchester inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ He's at his prayers. ” “ At what? ” Pamela exclaimed.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How came you to speak English like this?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How dare you ask me to give away my secrets?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How did she come by the prize? ” “ Played up for it, just as I did, ” Fischer replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How do you know this?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How is our friend Fischer this morning? ” “ I walked with him for an hour in the Park,"Pamela replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How long are you going to stay in Washington? ” “ A few hours or days or weeks — until I have fin- ished the work that brought me here."
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How long should you require the letter for? ” “ One hour, ” he replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How much is Mr. Fischer going to lose? ” “ God knows!
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How much of this are you responsible for?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ How's that? ” “ All those gifts, ” he assured her, “ I possess. ” She fanned herself for a moment and looked at him.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ However, you are satisfied, I sup- pose, that my advice is good?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Hullo, Lutchester, how are you?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Hurt? ” Nikasti replied wonderinglý.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I am permitted to take a copy?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I believe, ” he said, “ that I have the honour of addressing Mr. Lutchester? ” Lutchester rose to his feet.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I have n't disturbed your morning, I hope?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I intended to become an ambassador. ” “ Do you think you have the requisite gifts?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I picked him up wandering about by the professionals'shed. ” “ Did you talk politics with him?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I should like to tell you about it right now. ” THE PAWNS COUNT 71 “ Could I guess it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I suppose you always get your own way in the end, do n't you, Mr. Fischer? ” “ Generally, ” he admitted.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I suppose you want to know what became of poor Graham? ” A sudden bewilderment appeared in her face.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I was going to ask you, Mr. Van Teyl, ” he in- 188 THE PAWNS COUNT quired, “ whether your Japanese servant was alto- gether a success?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I wonder why?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ I'm out of humour with London just now. ” “ Perhaps we shall be fellow- passengers on Thurs- day?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ If you will kindly be seated, I will fetch him. ” “ How long have you been valet here? ” Pamela asked curiously.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is Mr. Fischer one of your typical millionaires, Miss Van Teyl? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is anything the matter? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is he a sphinx or a fool?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is it as exciting as fighting?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is n't Captain Graham here yet?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is n't that a little dangerous?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is that necessary?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is that the office of the American Steamship Company?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is that, by any chance, one of our missing guests, Captain Holderness?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is there anything more I can do before I go to bed, sir? ” he asked, with his usual reverential little bow.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is this neutrality? ” Fischer demanded, his rather harsh voice almost raucous now with a touch of real feeling.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is this part of your European manners, Pamela?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is this seclusion vanity or flattery?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is this true?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Is your leader a man of nerves?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ It is better that he should tell you everything. ” “ Everything?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ It is the style you admire, is it not? ” He murmured something vague, but he knew that he was forgiven.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ It was Karl Neumann, was it not, on whom you relied?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ It was ar- ranged in London, that? ” “ Partly in London and partly here, ” Fischer replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ It was locked?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ It was not for this that you sought me out, eh?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Just how do you know that?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Listen to you?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Look here, ” he said, “ I'm sane enough now, are n't I, and in my proper senses?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Mind my smoking?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Miss Van Teyl? ” he replied, a little hesitatingly.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Mr. Bookam has n't drawn any cheques lately for large amounts?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ My dear child, ” she exclaimed, “ how extraordi- nary to find you here! ” “ Is it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Nikasti?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Nothing that would interest me, eh? ” “ It was a family message,"was the calm response.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Now do n't you agree with me that Fisch- er's game is just a little too daring?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Of seeing you? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Prefers departmental work to fighting, were you going to add?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Queer tastes, have n't I, Jimmy? ” 6 Queer for a girl. ” “ That's prejudice, ” she objected, shaking her head.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Rather an odd sort of lodger for you, is n't he?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Save myself from what, eh?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Say, Mr. Lutchester, you have n't any twin brother, have you? ” “ No brother at all, ” Lutchester admitted.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Say, did n't that Jap fellow get the pocketbook from your rooms at all, then?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Say, do you know who's coming to the next table?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Say, this is Mr. Lutchester, is n't it? ” he in- quired, holding out his hand.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Say, what is it you want with me? ” he demanded truculently.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Shall I send out for some brandy? ” “ Not for me, ” Fischer scoffed.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Sharing rooms in the Plaza Hotel?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ She was the friend of Count Maurice Ziduski, was n't she?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ So Uncle Theodore started it, did he?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ So he's your spark, is he? ” Joseph observed slowly, his eyes blinking as he leaned a little for- ward.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ So that's the game, James Van Teyl, is it?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ So you're Nikasti?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Submarine alarms from the stewardess?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Tell me now, ” she begged, “ about Captain Graham?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Tell me, ” he inquired, “ is that your house — the next one to this?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Tell me, ” she begged, “ the whole extent of your mission in America?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Tell us what you have been doing in Berlin, then? ” Pamela inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ That you, Van Teyl?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ That's all right, but what about this job?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ That's the worst of having an uncle in the Ad- ministration, is n't it?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ The negative? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Then had n't it better come, ” Pamela suggested, “ and clear the ocean for your commerce? ” “ That is n't the point, ” Fischer insisted.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Then, how did you get over here?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ There is, perhaps, now,"she asked, “ a woman in your life?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ There was danger for poor little me?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ There, ” she added, throwing open the door which led into the premises behind, “ ca n't you hear him, poor soul?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ This afternoon, ” she said softly, “ I met Mr. Lutchester. ” “ Is he back in New York? ” Fischer asked, frowning Pamela nodded.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ This, ” Pamela admitted, “ is quite interesting, but it is entirely in the realms of conjecture, is it not?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ To Germany?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ To begin at the beginning, then — about that destroyer? ” “ My mission over here was really important, ” he admitted.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ To where? ” “ The wine cellars."
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Two thousand! ” The Irishman whistled and looked thoughtfully down at the table. ” “ Is n't it enough?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Wait! ” “ Have you any news you're keeping up your sleeve?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Want the boss? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ We are leaving for Washington to- morrow. ” “ By the three o'clock train, I hope? ” he ven- tured.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well, tell me about that, then?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well, you seem to have done that pretty effectu- ally! ” “ Also, ” he went on calmly, “ to keep an eye upon “ Professionally?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well, you're not asking for my sympathy, I sup- pose? ” he observed drily.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well? ” he asked, at last.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well? ” “ I wish to see him."
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Well?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Were n't you knocked down by à taxicab,"Pamela asked,"outside the hotel? ” Nikasti looked from one to the other with an air of gentle surprise.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Were you born in America — or England?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What I want to know, ” Van Teyl continued con- fidentially, “ is how you get that long run on your cleek shots?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What about our alliance? ” “ You scarcely need my aid, ” she observed, with a shrug of the shoulders.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What are they? ” “ Secrecy, subtlety, caution, and highly- developed intelligence, ” she replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What did you say about the markets? ”.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What do you mean to do, then? ” “ Leave them alone for the present.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What do you propose to do, then? ” “ I am going round to Scotland Yard myself. ” Lutchester rose to his feet.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What do you wish? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What does this mean?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What is it, then, of which I am in search?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What is she like?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What is that? ” Fischer, as though to give due emphasis to his statement, indulged in a brief pause.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What might you be wanting with him?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What papers did the police take away with them? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What's he been up to? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What's the hurry? ” Van Teyl demanded.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What's the matter? ” “ Pamela and I have taken a little flat in Fifty- eighth Street.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ What, this morning? ” “ Gone away on his Government work, ” Pamela announced.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ When did these flowers come, Leah? ” Pamela asked the maid who was moving about the room.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where do they keep it?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where is he?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where is it, then — the real thing? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where shall I tell the man to go to? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where should we start?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where the devil do you come in at all?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where's Mr. Van Teyl? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Where's Mr. Van Teyl? ” “ He has gone out with his sister, sir — the young lady in the next suite, ” Nikasti announced.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Who are you, anyway? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Who can tell?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Who is your opponent?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Who the devil are you, anyway, Lutchester?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Who wants to give up a very agreeable profession and enter upon a career of bloodshed, abandon all one's habits, and lose most of one's friends?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Why are you so sure that I have the formula?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Why not?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Why was I locked in here?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Why, I thought you did n't like him, aunt? ” “ I can not remember saying so, my dear, ” Mrs. Hastings replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Why, are you going, too? ” “ I hope so. ” “ I should have thought most of the munition works, ” she observed, “ were further north."
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Why, where is Mr. Van Teyl?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Will Germany be in a position to help us after the war?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Will you not interpret? ” “ The end of the war will be a peace of exhaus- 152 THE PAWNS COUNT tion,"Von Schwerin explained.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Will you take my message with you to Washington to- morrow?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Will you talk to me, Japan? ” Lutchester asked calmly.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Will you tell me why a cautious man like you engages, without reference, a chauffeur who turns out to be a murderer?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You are not thinking of the trip home yet, Miss Van Teyl? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You are sure? ” she exclaimed.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You are wondering how I got hold of this, of course? ” he observed.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You believe that it was I who searched your stateroom?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You ca n't settle accounts like that. ” “ Ca n't I?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You can make, then, the unwilling speak? ” Nikasti demanded.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You did n't hear the end of the affair, I sup- pose?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You do n't approve of Hassan's little cere- mony?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You do n't mind being put into the witness box, do you?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You do n't sug- gest that I should rob her of it, I suppose?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You ex- pect to have a little spare time, then? ” “ Well, I hope so,"Lutchester replied.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You give me credit for intelligence, then? ” “ I give you credit for every gift a woman should have, ” he answered enthusiastically.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You have an object in being kind to Jimmy, then?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You have had some news?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You have it then? ” he asked fiercely.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You have not had anything stolen?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You hear?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You know Mr. Lutchester, do n't you, aunt? ” Mrs. Hastings remembered her late dinner guest, but her recognition was icy and barely polite.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You know my friends, do n't you?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You know that things are moving with our friend Fischer?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You know that — that I'm under ar- rest?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You mean that Mr. Fischer showed it to you? ” she exclaimed incredulously.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You noticed, perhaps,"he said, “ the American girl — the beautiful young lady with this guy's friends?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You rather asked for it, did n't you? ” Graham moved uneasily in his place.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You think so?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You think that we shall reach Misery Island be- fore the tide turns?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You want the truth, do n't you? ” “ I never think anything else is worth while."
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You will let me see that they bring your car round? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You wish to see my master- Mr. Van Teyl?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You wish to speak to him?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You'll come?"
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You're clever enough. ” “ You like me, do n't you, Mr. Fischer? ” “ Beter than any woman in the world, ” he an- swered promptly.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ You're here to stay, I guess, Nikasti?
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Your brother? ” “ I sent Jim to his club, ” she said.
hvd.hwkyuw	“ Your jewellery? ” “ Deposited with the purser. ” “ I congratulate you, ” he said.
hvd.hwkyuw	” she whispered, “ that you dine alone in a resturant with an acquaintance?
hvd.hwkyuw	” “ From you?"
hvd.hwkyuw	” “ I reached the lavatory all right — you were with me then, were n't you? ” Graham said reflectively.
mdp.39015005009785	About poor Harry?
mdp.39015005009785	Against your will, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	An open verdict was returned?
mdp.39015005009785	And at his rooms, whom did you find?
mdp.39015005009785	And by whom is it alleged that I am a dealer in base money, pray?
mdp.39015005009785	And during the time you were at the King's Head, did the doctor ever visit Sir Hugh?
mdp.39015005009785	And he also came over to Beccles to see your stepfather?
mdp.39015005009785	And he compelled Sir Hugh to take you to his consulting room, eh? mdp.39015005009785 And mostly paid with English notes, eh?"
mdp.39015005009785	And pray how does that concern you? mdp.39015005009785 And so you refuse to do this service which I requested of you, yesterday, eh?"
mdp.39015005009785	And the fourth?
mdp.39015005009785	And the young lady goes back to Hill Street with her stepfather, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	And then you return to London, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	And to whom do you think he was sent?
mdp.39015005009785	And what would be the use of that, pray, when my secret will not be mine alone? mdp.39015005009785 And where has Mr. Fetherston gone?"
mdp.39015005009785	And you expect me to believe this lame story — eh?
mdp.39015005009785	And you ladies are going out for a run, eh? mdp.39015005009785 And you, happily, refused?"
mdp.39015005009785	Are you mad, messieurs?
mdp.39015005009785	Are you quite certain of this?
mdp.39015005009785	Are you quite certain of this?
mdp.39015005009785	Are you so anxious to get away from here, Enid?
mdp.39015005009785	Are you taking me to Paris?
mdp.39015005009785	But Sir Hugh will go abroad this winter, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	But at least you will allow me to say fare- well to my wife and child — to make excuse to them for my absence?
mdp.39015005009785	But can not this man Barker be induced to make some statement?
mdp.39015005009785	But can not you discover the truth?
mdp.39015005009785	But if she had poisoned him, surely he would not send for her?
mdp.39015005009785	But surely I am not to be thus denounced by an anonymous enemy?
mdp.39015005009785	But surely these solicitors will wait? mdp.39015005009785 But what caused you to break from him at last?"
mdp.39015005009785	But what was its nature?
mdp.39015005009785	But what?
mdp.39015005009785	But why are you here?
mdp.39015005009785	But why are you here?
mdp.39015005009785	But you begged me to re- ply to you in my own interests — why?
mdp.39015005009785	But you in France are always on the alert?
mdp.39015005009785	But — but is the matter very serious? mdp.39015005009785 But, surely, that is not possible, is it?
mdp.39015005009785	By which route do you intend travelling to Italy to- morrow?
mdp.39015005009785	Can not we free my step- father? mdp.39015005009785 Did Monsieur Le Pontois leave any other message for madame?"
mdp.39015005009785	Do n't you realise that by this last demand of yours you've driven me into a corner?
mdp.39015005009785	Do you understand, Enid? mdp.39015005009785 Do you usually make searches?"
mdp.39015005009785	Forgive me, wo n't you?
mdp.39015005009785	Gallet is downstairs, is n't he? mdp.39015005009785 Has he returned?"
mdp.39015005009785	Have you any idea why your stepfather sent him up to London?
mdp.39015005009785	Have you been here before?
mdp.39015005009785	Have you ever seen that lady down here before, sergeant?
mdp.39015005009785	Have you fully reflected upon what this refusal of yours may cost you, General?
mdp.39015005009785	Have you no pity for me?
mdp.39015005009785	Have you told me the whole truth — all that you know, Enid?
mdp.39015005009785	He was with him in the Boer War, was he not?
mdp.39015005009785	How can I assist?
mdp.39015005009785	How can I tell?
mdp.39015005009785	How do you mean unwilling? mdp.39015005009785 How — how can he?"
mdp.39015005009785	I know,he added reflectively,"that Enid dislikes me —*? hy, I can never make out."
mdp.39015005009785	I suppose you are never very dull here, with so much always going on?
mdp.39015005009785	I thought you wished to explore the place before he arrived?
mdp.39015005009785	I won- der,he added,"I wonder who inspires these denials?
mdp.39015005009785	I wonder what the lighthouse men think of it now?
mdp.39015005009785	I'm in no way 202 The Doctor of Pimlico would in future save to “ the syndicate ” the sum of five thousand pounds per annum? mdp.39015005009785 If you are so certain that Enid Orlehar is implicated in the affair, if not the actual assassin, why do n't you interrogate her?"
mdp.39015005009785	In my interests?
mdp.39015005009785	In what direction?
mdp.39015005009785	In what way?
mdp.39015005009785	Is Enid at home?
mdp.39015005009785	Is it What Confession would Mean 149 out of mere idle curiosity? mdp.39015005009785 Is that really your opinion, Sir Hugh?"
mdp.39015005009785	Is there one in existence?
mdp.39015005009785	It is fortunate, Doctor, that the public are in ignorance of the real nature of our work, is n't it, eh? mdp.39015005009785 My dear General,"said the doctor quite calmly,"you're not yourself to- day; suffering from a slight attack of remorse, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	No one saw the lady call at his chambers?
mdp.39015005009785	No,he protested in a low, earnest, hoarse voice;"I told you the truth, Enid, but""But what?"
mdp.39015005009785	Not to- day?
mdp.39015005009785	Of the disgrace if the truth were known, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	Pray why?
mdp.39015005009785	Regarding the forged English notes you were prepared to sell, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	So you do not deny that you received money from that man?
mdp.39015005009785	Surely you will remain and say au revoir to Paul? mdp.39015005009785 The letter in question was not mentioned at the inquest?"
mdp.39015005009785	Then Enid Orlebar killed him?
mdp.39015005009785	Then may I not write a line to my wife, just one word of excuse?
mdp.39015005009785	Then perhaps you will tell us the reason you took that early drive?
mdp.39015005009785	Then you disbelieve the Richmond story?
mdp.39015005009785	Then you learned nothing, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	Then you really suspect her?
mdp.39015005009785	Then, after all the inquiries you insti- tuted, you were really unable to point to the actual assassin?
mdp.39015005009785	Those figures are, I be- lieve, in your handwriting?
mdp.39015005009785	Travelling in search of fresh material for your books, I suppose? mdp.39015005009785 Very well,"replied the younger man,"when you get back, sell them, will you?"
mdp.39015005009785	Was he a forger, then?
mdp.39015005009785	Was there any other fact heside the feather which would lead one to suppose that a lady had visited him?
mdp.39015005009785	We have met before?
mdp.39015005009785	Well — because it concerns a woman's hon- The Accusers 197 your hand?
mdp.39015005009785	Well?
mdp.39015005009785	What are they? mdp.39015005009785 What do you wish to know?"
mdp.39015005009785	What is his address?
mdp.39015005009785	What is that?
mdp.39015005009785	What is your opinion?
mdp.39015005009785	What more should I know?
mdp.39015005009785	What secret do you suggest might have been divulged?
mdp.39015005009785	What shall we do?
mdp.39015005009785	What terrible secret could there possibly be that could only be preserved by Bellairs'silence?
mdp.39015005009785	What was that?
mdp.39015005009785	What were they like?
mdp.39015005009785	What's the charge, sir?
mdp.39015005009785	What?
mdp.39015005009785	When responsible papers wilfully mislead the public, what can be expected?
mdp.39015005009785	Where he had dined that night has never been discovered, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	Where is he now?
mdp.39015005009785	Who are you here?
mdp.39015005009785	Why are you here, Weirmarsh?
mdp.39015005009785	Why did you do that?
mdp.39015005009785	Why did you send me that extraordinary note?
mdp.39015005009785	Why do you ask me this?
mdp.39015005009785	Why have you been watching us like this?
mdp.39015005009785	Why have you come here?
mdp.39015005009785	Why have you returned here to taunt and irritate me again?
mdp.39015005009785	Why not?
mdp.39015005009785	Why should I? mdp.39015005009785 Why?"
mdp.39015005009785	Why?
mdp.39015005009785	Why?
mdp.39015005009785	With what offence am I charged?
mdp.39015005009785	You admit making that calculation?
mdp.39015005009785	You are Paul Le Pontois?
mdp.39015005009785	You believe, then, that he possesses some occult power?
mdp.39015005009785	You believe, then, that he was poisoned?
mdp.39015005009785	You believe, then, that those consultations I have had with the doctor are at his own instiga- tion?
mdp.39015005009785	You do n't think so?
mdp.39015005009785	You do not believe in this peace, and in the Paul Le Pontois 95 sincerity of the enemy, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	You have no idea, then, what was the na- ture of the communication which the captain wished to make to you?
mdp.39015005009785	You mean that you received money from him, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	You recollect, too, a certain man named Bellairs?
mdp.39015005009785	You refuse?
mdp.39015005009785	You say that Mr. Fetherston met the young lady outside after luncheon, and they had an argument in secret, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	You thought him toibe a doctor — and noth- ing else?
mdp.39015005009785	You took it?
mdp.39015005009785	You wish to prejudice me against him, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	Your father and mother will remain at home, I suppose?
mdp.39015005009785	After luncheon you met him in the garden of the hotel, and""How do you know all this?"
mdp.39015005009785	And how will such an attitude benefit you, pray?"
mdp.39015005009785	And this,"he laughed,"in face of what you and I know, eh?
mdp.39015005009785	And what was the secret of his success?
mdp.39015005009785	Are those details correct?"
mdp.39015005009785	Ask him to send me over three men at once, will you?"
mdp.39015005009785	At last Walter asked:"Your stepfather has been up to the fortress with Monsieur Le Pontois, I suppose?"
mdp.39015005009785	Besides, 134 The Mysterious Mr. Maltwood 135 did not the captain write a note to her with his last dying effort?
mdp.39015005009785	Besides, even though we took the matter in hand, what could we do?
mdp.39015005009785	But as long as your wife does n't mind it, what matters?"
mdp.39015005009785	But how do you know all this?"
mdp.39015005009785	But what for?
mdp.39015005009785	Captain Bel- lairs was in his usual health that day when he left you at Salisbury, was he not?"
mdp.39015005009785	Captain Bellairs died — died suddenly, did he not?"
mdp.39015005009785	Could it be that this man was actually in possession of the truth?
mdp.39015005009785	Did I not?"
mdp.39015005009785	Did he really and honestly love her?
mdp.39015005009785	Do you hear?"
mdp.39015005009785	Does it concern yourself?"
mdp.39015005009785	Enid, ring the bell, dear, will you? ” Then continuing, she added in warm enthusiasm: “ Really, Mr. Fetherston, you are quite a stranger!
mdp.39015005009785	From death? ” “ No, from falling a prey to a great tempta- tion set before him."
mdp.39015005009785	H2 The Doctor of Pimlico"When do you return to London?"
mdp.39015005009785	Had he divined it?
mdp.39015005009785	Have you seen it?
mdp.39015005009785	He was one of the best and 1 244 The Doctor of Pimlico name of the woman to whom you refer?"
mdp.39015005009785	He was silent for a moment; then he said slowly:"I think Sir Hugh was in command of a big training camp in Norfolk early in the war, was he not?"
mdp.39015005009785	How could the truth come out?
mdp.39015005009785	How much did she know?
mdp.39015005009785	However, can not you give us some explanation of that secret visit of yours to Thillot?
mdp.39015005009785	I believe the tragic event happened on September the sec- ond, did it not?"
mdp.39015005009785	I won- der why Barker, in his evidence, made no men- tion of that perfume or of the discovery of the feather?"
mdp.39015005009785	I wonder if he goes to pay this Mr. Baily, or Bai- ley, a visit? ” “ Perhaps, ” laughed Walter.
mdp.39015005009785	If Sir Hugh really intended to abandon himself to remorse and make a fool of himself, why should he stretch forth a hand to save him?
mdp.39015005009785	In Which Enid Orlebar is Puzzled 61 “ Of what man? ” he asked in quick surprise.
mdp.39015005009785	Indeed, has he not told her so?
mdp.39015005009785	Is the danger so very real, then?"
mdp.39015005009785	No, I only point out this peril for your family's sake- and your own. ” “ Is Mr. Fetherston such an evil genius, then? ” she asked.
mdp.39015005009785	Or is it because- be- cause, knowing that Harry loved me, you wish to cause me pain by recalling those tragic circum- stances?
mdp.39015005009785	Pity and sympathy filled 207 208 The Doctor of Pimlico his heart; therefore, how could he turn from her and abandon her at this moment of her peril?
mdp.39015005009785	She was a lady driver during the war. ” “ Do you know her name? ” “ Miss Bailey.
mdp.39015005009785	Suppose the doctor revealed the actual truth by means of some anonymous communication?
mdp.39015005009785	That might be true, but might she not have arrived after her secret visit to Half Moon Street?
mdp.39015005009785	The Coming of a Stranger 23 Was it her beauty that had attracted him?
mdp.39015005009785	The Silence of the Man Barker 241 “ And afterwards? ” “ He left the club in a taxi at eight.
mdp.39015005009785	The other shrugged his shoulders, saying:"How can that point be cleared up?
mdp.39015005009785	Then you admit making the calcula- tion?
mdp.39015005009785	Then you do not deny that you were attracted by the promises of substantial pay- ment for certain forged English notes which you could furnish, eh?"
mdp.39015005009785	Then, in a low, intense voice, he said:"Can not you be quite frank with me, Enid — cannot you give me more minute details of the sad affair?
mdp.39015005009785	Then, looking into her beautiful coun- tenance, he asked:"Have you no idea of the nature of this man's influence over Sir Hugh?"
mdp.39015005009785	These two facts had aroused the man- servant's curiosity. ” “ What time did the captain return? ” “ Almost immediately.

mdp.39015005009785	Three Gentlemen from Paris 167"For where?"
mdp.39015005009785	Under what pre- text?"
mdp.39015005009785	Was Barker an enemy, or was he a friend?
mdp.39015005009785	Was his son- in- law, Le Pon- tois, in jeopardy?
mdp.39015005009785	Was it any wonder that she was hor- rified when she recalled that gruesome episode of the death of a brave and honest man?
mdp.39015005009785	Was it pos- sible, she reflected, that he had actually become aware of the ghastly truth?
mdp.39015005009785	Was it possible that he held any suspicion of the ghastly truth?
mdp.39015005009785	Was it possible, he wondered, that he had seen that striking face in some photo- graph, or perhaps in some illustrated paper?
mdp.39015005009785	We are not interested in espionage, either of us, are we?"
mdp.39015005009785	What about that let- ter of his? ” Trendall was thoughtful for a few minutes.
mdp.39015005009785	What do you wish?"
mdp.39015005009785	What have you to say?"
mdp.39015005009785	What interest have you in my acquain- tances?"
mdp.39015005009785	What proof was there that the pair had not dined together?
mdp.39015005009785	What the Dead Man Left 251 to a suspicion of Sir Hugh's criminal conduct?
mdp.39015005009785	What was the mystery?
mdp.39015005009785	What was there to prevent him from coming in to wish me good- bye when he was actually at the gate?"
mdp.39015005009785	What would the amiable doc- tor think if he knew that I held the key which will unlock his past?"
mdp.39015005009785	What, for instance, do you think of Barker, the dead man's valet?
mdp.39015005009785	What, he wondered, did the future hold in store for him?
mdp.39015005009785	Who could possibly have made such unfounded charges against him?
mdp.39015005009785	Who would suspect you — a lonely bachelor in such quarters as these?"
mdp.39015005009785	Why are you paying a visit to this house at such an hour?"
mdp.39015005009785	Why do n't you be open with me and give me your reasons for this sugges- tion?"
mdp.39015005009785	Why do you ask that?"
mdp.39015005009785	Why had he treated her thus?
mdp.39015005009785	Why had the police searched The Yews?
mdp.39015005009785	Why, indeed, had Harry Bellairs fallen the victim of a secret as- sassin?
mdp.39015005009785	Why?
mdp.39015005009785	Why?
mdp.39015005009785	Why?
mdp.39015005009785	Why?
mdp.39015005009785	Will that suit you? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015005009785	Yet how could he make any direct charge against the gen- eral's stepdaughter, who had always been most generous to him in the matter of tips?
mdp.39015005009785	Yet what do I deserve?"
mdp.39015005009785	Yet why had Barker remained in the neigh- bourhood of Piccadilly Circus if sent by his mas- ter with a message to Richmond?
mdp.39015005009785	You and he were friends, eh?"
mdp.39015005009785	You know it- why, therefore, should I de- scribe it?
mdp.39015005009785	You still want money — and lots of it, do n't you?"
mdp.39015005009785	You will commit no foolish and cowardly act?
mdp.39015005009785	Your stepfather does not know, of course, that this letter exists?"
mdp.39015005009785	exclaimed Fetherston, as the girl reluctantly crossed the threshold with downcast head,"what is the meaning of this?
mdp.39015005009785	he cried sharply in his low, strident voice,"what's that bay there?
mdp.39015005009785	how long will the British public be lulled to sleep by anonymous scribblers?"
mdp.39015005009785	“ And I think that you may trust a secret with me? ” The old man made no reply, and the crafty.
mdp.39015005009785	“ And the girl you spoke of, Enid Orlebar? ” “ The girl will share the same fate as her step- father,"was Weirmarsh's hard response.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Any other visitors? ” asked Fetherston, in his quick, impetuous way, as he polished his pince- nez.
mdp.39015005009785	“ But he was engaged to Lady Blanche? ” “ He intended to marry her, probably for wealth and position.
mdp.39015005009785	“ But if suspicion falls upon me?
mdp.39015005009785	“ But what secret could Enid Orlebar desire to hide? ” exclaimed Fetherston wonderingly.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Did he not explain what the errand was?"
mdp.39015005009785	“ Did the Englishman say there was no reply? ” she asked.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Does he receive any visitors? ” “ Very few- he's away such a lot.
mdp.39015005009785	“ From what?
mdp.39015005009785	“ Have you heard of the doctor since you left London? ” he asked.
mdp.39015005009785	“ He had a private talk with your stepfather, of course? ” “ Yes, as usual, they were in the study for quite a long time- nearly two hours.
mdp.39015005009785	“ He has been of use to us, eh? ” “ Of considerable use, but his usefulness is all but ended, ” replied the doctor.
mdp.39015005009785	“ He was killed, was he not- deliberately murdered? ” For a few seconds the silence was unbroken save for a whir of a taxicab passing outside.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Is he well known? ” inquired the novelist.
mdp.39015005009785	“ My own idea is that a woman killed him. ” “ Why? ” cried Walter quickly.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Not a breath of suspicion has ever fallen upon you up to the present, has it?
mdp.39015005009785	“ Of Doctor Weirmarsh. ” “ Why?
mdp.39015005009785	“ She is in Paris — and is leav- ing to- night for London. ” “ Is Paul coming? ” inquired Enid eagerly.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Then I urge you to continue to follow the advice I give you, namely, to agree to the terms. ” “ And who will be aware of the matter? ”.
mdp.39015005009785	“ We can not risk betrayal. ” “ Then she knows something? ” “ She may or she may not.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Well, ” she exclaimed, “ if you will not come to the château, where shall we meet? ” “ I will write to you, ” he replied.
mdp.39015005009785	“ What kind of a woman? ” “ Oh, she's a lady about thirty- five- beauti- fully dressed always.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Whom is it from? ” “ Only from Blanche, ” he answered in a low, strained voice.
mdp.39015005009785	“ Why did she go?
mdp.39015005009785	“ Why, what's the matter? ” asked his wife.
mdp.39015005009785	“ You did not discover their names?
mdp.39015005009785	“ You do not conceal it? ” “ No,"he answered.
mdp.39015005009785	“ You do not think that he holds some secret of your stepfather's?
mdp.39015005009785	“ You know him, then? ” “ Oh yes, mademoiselle.
hvd.hx5gsg	And how was this new mystery discovered? ” Bobby caught the implication. hvd.hx5gsg Exactly. ” “ Then what good am I?
hvd.hx5gsg	Feeling better, Bobby? ” The boots were drawn in. hvd.hx5gsg Is it kind, ” she asked, “ so soon after he has left his house? ” Paredes started.
hvd.hx5gsg	What are you doing up here, Katy? ” he qua- vered. hvd.hx5gsg What are you talking about? ” the doctor cried.
hvd.hx5gsg	What have you two been doing up there? ” Bobby asked Graham. hvd.hx5gsg Where you going? ” Graham asked sharply.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did you ever hide that stuff in Miss Kather- ine's room? ” Bobby asked. hvd.hx5gsg You mean, ” Bobby said, “ that you heard a wo- man crying? ” Jenkins nodded.

hvd.hx5gsg	122 THE ABANDONED ROOM “ Who knows? ” Doctor Groom mused.
hvd.hx5gsg	148 THE ABANDONED ROOM “ Only thatthat he gave it to me to mail just before he went up to the old room. ” “ You mailed it?"
hvd.hx5gsg	180 THE ABANDONED ROOM, “ You'll tell Miss Perrine, Doctor? ” The doctor showed that he understood the warning Graham wished to convey.
hvd.hx5gsg	276 THE ABANDONED ROOM “ What do you make of it? ” the district attorney asked Rawlins.
hvd.hx5gsg	:: “ What are you looking at? ” “ No use, Hartley.
hvd.hx5gsg	An automobile, a carriage, a train?
hvd.hx5gsg	And THE ABANDONED ROOM 231 suppose he should accomplish something useful?
hvd.hx5gsg	And have you found the sharp instrument that caused death? ” The detective answered tolerantly: “ I have found a number of sharp instruments.
hvd.hx5gsg	And what about this afternoon- that ghastly disturbing of the body?"
hvd.hx5gsg	And who would know his way around that dark house like me?
hvd.hx5gsg	Are there two influences at work in this house — one for me, one against me? ”"Let's think of the human elements,"Graham an- swered with a frown.
hvd.hx5gsg	Are you coming? ” Graham asked Bobby.
hvd.hx5gsg	As she went on, however, his sense of bewilder- ment increased, and when she had finished he burst out: “ But where is the proof of murder?
hvd.hx5gsg	At any rate, you'll never lead that sort of life again? ” Her fingers sought his.
hvd.hx5gsg	But why had he come here?
hvd.hx5gsg	By the way, has Paredes ever bor- rowed any large sums? ” Bobby hesitated.
hvd.hx5gsg	Ca n't we forget to- night that we dis- agree about Paredes?
hvd.hx5gsg	Ca n't you see I'm alive? ” He broke down and covered his face.
hvd.hx5gsg	Can you find any trace of a conspir- acy against me in this last ghastly adventure? ”"It complicates everything, ” Graham admitted.
hvd.hx5gsg	Cor- oner, these are all that were in the front part of the house when you were here before?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Could there have been a conspiracy against him in the New York café?
hvd.hx5gsg	Could you ask more? ” Bobby shrank from the man with whom he had idled away so much time and money.
hvd.hx5gsg	Did Paredes, in fact, have some devious purpose in remaining at the Cedars?
hvd.hx5gsg	Did any one leave the place with me?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Did he say anything, if I might make so bold as to ask? ” “ Go away, ” Bobby groaned.
hvd.hx5gsg	Did his normal self come back to him when the shell was put from our sight, and he awakened?
hvd.hx5gsg	Did n't she say when she would be back? ” The girl nodded.
hvd.hx5gsg	Did n't you wonder where I was, Katy?
hvd.hx5gsg	Did these ginks sit back and take the show for what it was worth?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do n't you see how absurd it is that Carlos, Maria, or any one else should have had a hand in it?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do n't you see?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do n't you suppose he looked for a hiding place or a secret entrance the first thing?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you know it's after ten o'clock? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you know where he is now? ” “ Have n't the slightest idea, Mr.
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you realize what that means to me?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you remember the time? ” “ Not exactly.
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you see?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you think I had any idea of killing you? ” Bobby studied the reserved face which even now was without emotion.
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you think I'm guilty of these atrocious crimes, or do n't you?
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you think it's true?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Do you understand?
hvd.hx5gsg	Even so, why do you suspect young Blackburn? ” “ Without a scrap of evidence it's plain as the nose on your face,"the detective answered.
hvd.hx5gsg	For God's sake, why do n't you arrest me? ” A chuckle came from the man in ambush behind the yellow flame.
hvd.hx5gsg	For the last time, will you bring your cousin down?
hvd.hx5gsg	Give me until morning to prove how wrong you are. ” “ What would be the use? ” Robinson asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	Granted life, how would it have been possible for Silas Blackburn to have left the room to commence his period of drowsiness?
hvd.hx5gsg	Had he been drugged?
hvd.hx5gsg	Had his exclamation been drawn by an accuser?
hvd.hx5gsg	Had she sought it?
hvd.hx5gsg	Has Mr. Bobby come back?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Has something happened I know nothing of? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hx5gsg	Have n't I a right to come in my own house?
hvd.hx5gsg	Have n't you a feeling that the dead are in this dark hall with us?
hvd.hx5gsg	Have- have you seen him?"
hvd.hx5gsg	He cried out hysterically: “ Why do n't you do something?
hvd.hx5gsg	He must have mentioned the evidence, but what does that amount to since it's disappeared along with the duplicate of the report, if Howells made one?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Her voice, moreover, was too un- certain, too full of misgivings: “ What is going on down there?
hvd.hx5gsg	His grand- son, his niece, and those who saw him frequently, 266 THE ABANDONED ROOM Was she glad of this solitude?
hvd.hx5gsg	His voice broke the silence tentatively: “ If this house makes you so unhappy, young man, why do you stay? ” Paredes paused in his walk.
hvd.hx5gsg	Honestly, is n't that what you were thinking of, Hartley?
hvd.hx5gsg	How could he reasonably get out?
hvd.hx5gsg	How deep is it? ”** The black surface of the water seemed to Bobby like an opaque glass, hiding sinister things.
hvd.hx5gsg	How else? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	How had he come here?
hvd.hx5gsg	How had the murderer entered and left the room with both doors locked on the inside, with the windows too high for use?
hvd.hx5gsg	How was it done?
hvd.hx5gsg	I have n't been out of the house since just after luncheon. ” 166 THE ABANDONED ROOM “ Can you prove that? ” “ It needs no proof.
hvd.hx5gsg	I must have an answer, if it condemns me; and how could I have had anything to do with what has happened to- night? ” He withheld nothing.
hvd.hx5gsg	I tell you they found him in the court. ” Silas Blackburn's voice rose, shrill and angry: “ What's the matter with you all?
hvd.hx5gsg	I wo n't think of it. ” “ If it's so far- fetched, ” Graham asked quietly, “ why do you revolt from the idea? ” Bobby turned on him.
hvd.hx5gsg	I wonder if it was he or Paredes who followed you through the woods? ” “ Why should Carlos have followed me? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	I wonder if it was he or Paredes who followed you through the woods? ” “ Why should Carlos have followed me? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	I've a sort of plan for to- night, but it's only a chance. ” “ What? ” Graham asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	If I had been planning to kill Bobby, why did n't I bring the weapon?
hvd.hx5gsg	If he did you wo n't get out of town. ” “ What could he find? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	If his friend had shaken hands with him would he have grasped emptiness?
hvd.hx5gsg	If it was hard to face sleep before, what do you think, it is now?
hvd.hx5gsg	If she is n't, if she has n't been back for the last twenty- four hours — don't you see?
hvd.hx5gsg	Is Bobby not capable of choosing his own company?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Is all the world to see my companions leave in the midst of a dinner as if I were plague- touched?
hvd.hx5gsg	Is n't that so, Bobby? ” “ Since you wish it, ” Bobby said.
hvd.hx5gsg	Is there a fire in the hall?
hvd.hx5gsg	It never occurred to me that the detective or the coroner might be there moving around. ” “ You were alone up here? ” Graham said.
hvd.hx5gsg	It seems the bloodhounds of the law left us out of their confi- dence. ” “ What's all this? ” the doctor rumbled.
hvd.hx5gsg	Mr. Graham, is it not?
hvd.hx5gsg	Neither have I. ” “ Then what the devil have you been doing here? ” Robinson snapped.
hvd.hx5gsg	Shall I fetch it, sir? ” Graham nodded, and Jenkins shuffled up the stairs.
hvd.hx5gsg	She burst out excitedly: “ What is one to do?
hvd.hx5gsg	Some scheme to get my money? ” “ You slept in the old room the other night?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Some scheme to get my money? ” “ You slept in the old room the other night?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Such a secret door had never been mentioned to you, had it, Bobby? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	Suppose Paredes, instead of coming to a rendezvous, had been led?
hvd.hx5gsg	Suppose he should succeed where Graham had failed?
hvd.hx5gsg	THE ABANDONED ROOM 117 “ Have you ever seen that house before? ” Bobby asked quickly.
hvd.hx5gsg	THE ABANDONED ROOM 261 “ What do you mean? ” Blackburn cried.
hvd.hx5gsg	THE ABANDONED ROOM 275 them a spectacle of veiled activity and thought, grasped the truth?
hvd.hx5gsg	THE ABANDONED ROOM 29 “ What is it trying to tell me? ” he asked himself.
hvd.hx5gsg	THE ABANDONED ROOM 321 “ You do n't mean we've been talking to a dead man?"
hvd.hx5gsg	THE ABANDONED ROOM 81 “ What you want? ” he grumbled.
hvd.hx5gsg	The autopsy? ” “ Coroner's out of the county, ” Graham replied, “ and Howells wo n't have an assistant.
hvd.hx5gsg	The coroner's thin tones expressed his alarm: “ What the devil was that?
hvd.hx5gsg	The doctor grunted then: 118 THE ABANDONED ROOM “ The wound at the back of the head was the same as in your grandfather's case? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	The old room was about to disclose its secret, but would it permit him to depart with his knowledge?
hvd.hx5gsg	The policeman?
hvd.hx5gsg	Then I said to myself, why should a woman prowl around the Cedars?
hvd.hx5gsg	Then what happened last night?
hvd.hx5gsg	There have been no- no more tragedies? ”"Would you mind joining us for a moment? ” Robinson asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	There have been no- no more tragedies? ”"Would you mind joining us for a moment? ” Robinson asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	This stranger Maria brought up?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Trying to be funny, ai n't you?
hvd.hx5gsg	Understand?
hvd.hx5gsg	WHAT was the dread secret of the Blackburn Clan?
hvd.hx5gsg	WHY was Jenkins, the butler, so eager to hide the damning evidence against Bobby Blackburn?
hvd.hx5gsg	WHY were Carlos Paredes and Dr. Groom so eager to suggest supernatural causes?
hvd.hx5gsg	Was it, like this room, empty and deserted?
hvd.hx5gsg	Was that where the evidence pointed?
hvd.hx5gsg	Was there anything in that room capable of forbidding his intention?
hvd.hx5gsg	Was there, in short, a surer, more malicious force for evil than his unconscious self, at work in the house?
hvd.hx5gsg	What about Mr. Blackburn? ” Graham interfered.
hvd.hx5gsg	What am I to do?
hvd.hx5gsg	What are a man's personal fears and desires if he can help his friends?"
hvd.hx5gsg	What are you afraid of? ” He did n't answer.
hvd.hx5gsg	What are you thinking about?"
hvd.hx5gsg	What are you thinking of? ” “ Of showing them how wrong they are, ” Graham said.
hvd.hx5gsg	What can he want, forcing himself here?
hvd.hx5gsg	What did I do?
hvd.hx5gsg	What difference did that make?
hvd.hx5gsg	What disintegration and coming together again has taken place since we buried that shell in the old graveyard?
hvd.hx5gsg	What do you think I am, Mr. Graham? ” “ Sorry,"Graham said.
hvd.hx5gsg	What do you think?"
hvd.hx5gsg	What good would it do? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	What had happened since he and Paredes had left?
hvd.hx5gsg	What happened in the café last night?
hvd.hx5gsg	What happened then? ” “ That's all, ” Blackburn answered, “ except this long sleep I ca n't make out.
hvd.hx5gsg	What held him here?
hvd.hx5gsg	What house was this?
hvd.hx5gsg	What is it?
hvd.hx5gsg	What is the matter with him?"
hvd.hx5gsg	What is the matter with me?
hvd.hx5gsg	What the deuce are you doing here? ” · The Panamanian expelled a cloud of smoke.
hvd.hx5gsg	What was I doing there?
hvd.hx5gsg	What was the man's game?
hvd.hx5gsg	What were you doing up there?
hvd.hx5gsg	What would any man do first of all? ” Robinson nodded.
hvd.hx5gsg	What would you do?
hvd.hx5gsg	What you got to be afraid of? ” “ I'm afraid because you are, ” she urged.
hvd.hx5gsg	What you talking about?
hvd.hx5gsg	What's happened? ” He shuddered.
hvd.hx5gsg	What's he after now?
hvd.hx5gsg	What's he talking about?
hvd.hx5gsg	What's the matter with you?
hvd.hx5gsg	What's the matter?
hvd.hx5gsg	What, then, was their intention?
hvd.hx5gsg	When are you going out to the Cedars? ” Bobby flushed.
hvd.hx5gsg	When did the first letter that frightened your master come? ” “ The day he went to Smithtown and talked to the detective, ” the butler quavered.
hvd.hx5gsg	When the man came did you take him upstairs, Jenkins?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Where did you think it came from? ” Bobby demanded.
hvd.hx5gsg	Where had he gone after he had left them?
hvd.hx5gsg	Where have you been? ” There were tears in her eyes.
hvd.hx5gsg	Where is Katherine?
hvd.hx5gsg	Where is there even a suggestion?
hvd.hx5gsg	Where's Katherine, Doctor?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Where, indeed, was he?
hvd.hx5gsg	Which is young Mr. Blackburn? ” Bobby stepped forward.
hvd.hx5gsg	Who are you?
hvd.hx5gsg	Who is that be- hind you?
hvd.hx5gsg	Who would have found out so easily that my grandfather had changed his room?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Who's Howells? ” And as Robinson told him of the second crime he sank back in his chair again, whimpering from time to time.
hvd.hx5gsg	Who's sick?
hvd.hx5gsg	Who, in the semblance of Silas Blackburn, had drowsed without food for three days in the house at Smithtown?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why am I routed out?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did I come down at this ungodly hour except on the chance of getting some word?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did I put my hand through the opening before I was ready to strike?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did I use my left hand-my injured hand?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did n't the butler come?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did you bring me?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did you talk all the time about ghosts? ” “ I had to go on tiptoe, ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why did you throw sand in our eyes?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do n't you arrest me then?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do n't you lock me up?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do n't you put the case on a reasonable basis? ” He waited, trembling.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do n't you send for some one- a man? ”"Leave me alone, ” he mumbled.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do you ask such things?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do you come?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do you cry through the woods? ” But the dusk was too thick, the forest too eager.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why do you talk of ghosts and my being dead?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why does n't Groom tell me why I slept so long? ” “ I only know,"Groom rumbled, “ that the wound.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why has n't my man made any re- port on her?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why have n't you ar- rested him? ” In this room the detective's satisfied chuckle was an offence.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why have you been friendly with people like4like that Spaniard?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why have you done it these last few months?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why in the name of heaven should any one kill the old man, place all this money in my hands, and at the same time send me to the electric chair?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why not go out and arrest her then?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why should any one have remembered?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why should n't she have addressed it to the Cedars where there was a fair chance of its being opened and read by the police?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why should you keep it active and dangerous by trying to find who is guilty?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Why should you threaten poor Maria?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why were you afraid of your grandson? ” “ Maybe he can tell you better than I can, ” the THE ABANDONED ROOM 255 old man answered.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why wo n't you tell me what you were doing? ” “ Only keeping Rawlins from trying to make more mischief, ” Graham answered.
hvd.hx5gsg	Why, Bobby, did you think I was the-the woman in black?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why, even in so much confusion, had Gra- ham and he failed to think of those tell- tale marks in the court?
hvd.hx5gsg	Why? ” she asked hysterically.
hvd.hx5gsg	Will you come downstairs with me for a moment?
hvd.hx5gsg	Will you come up?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Will you come while there's time?
hvd.hx5gsg	Will you go through and unlock the door leading from the old bedroom to the private hall so we can get up?"
hvd.hx5gsg	Would Robinson accuse him now, before he had gone into the case for himself?
hvd.hx5gsg	Yet, granted that, who, in the semblance of Silas Blackburn, had they buried to vanish com- pletely?
hvd.hx5gsg	You can tell us everything 42 THE ABANDONED ROOM you did last night after I left you, and early this morning? ” Bobby shook his head.
hvd.hx5gsg	You did come from town?
hvd.hx5gsg	You did n't do that for me? ”"I was n't there, Bobby.
hvd.hx5gsg	You fellows all know Hartley Graham?
hvd.hx5gsg	You look like death. ” “ There's death, ” she said.?
hvd.hx5gsg	You mean you suspect- You're placing me under arrest? ” The detective's straight smile returned.
hvd.hx5gsg	You through, Coroner?
hvd.hx5gsg	You understand?
hvd.hx5gsg	You want the truth, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” Bobby said, “ even if it does for me.
hvd.hx5gsg	You were n't there?
hvd.hx5gsg	You will go?"
hvd.hx5gsg	You wo n't answer me? ” 302 THE ABANDONED ROOM"No,"she said, backing away from him.
hvd.hx5gsg	You wo n't fail me, Bobby?
hvd.hx5gsg	You'd do anything to have that, would n't you?
hvd.hx5gsg	You'll forget that I am a guest in your house? ” Bobby flushed.
hvd.hx5gsg	You'll kill such a ridiculous suspicion. ” “ Or? ” Paredes drawled.
hvd.hx5gsg	You're sure he guessed that you cared for me? ” In that place, at that moment, there was a tragic colour to her coquetry.
hvd.hx5gsg	You're sure the doors were locked? ” “ No doubt about that, ” Rawlins said.
hvd.hx5gsg	thing new at the lake. ” “ You do n't know anything about it, do you, Katherine?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Am I to be humiliated so?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ And the disappearance of the evidence? ” Bobby defended himself.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ And why do you fill my mind with such thoughts?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Another lawyer? ” he sneered.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Are n't there enough riddles in this house? ” Doc- tor Groom asked with frank disapproval.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ At what time?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ But you and Hartley?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Can you account for Silas Blackburn's return? ” the doctor asked eagerly.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Daresay you know the room- the way to it? ” Bobby did n't answer.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Did you know they'd taken him?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Do n't you know you're sick, boy? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Do n't you think I was as much puzzled as the rest by that strange, disappearing light?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Do you know anything about this, Hartley?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Do you realize, Mr. District Attorney, what this man is saying? ” But Robinson motioned him to silence.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Do you think any jury would listen to such a theory? ” Katherine put her finger to her lips.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Doctor Groom?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Handcuffs? ” he asked Rawlins.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Hartley thinks something may have been put in my wine. ” “ What for? ” the doctor asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Has he ever paid you back?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Has he questioned you? ” Graham asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ He learned nothing new last night? ” “ I was with him at breakfast.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ He's told you, too?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ How can I forget it?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ How did you guess that?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ How far is it? ” “ Not much more than a mile, ” Groom answered.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ How long had you been asleep?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ How was that wound made? ” The crouched figure wagged its head from side to side.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I am glad, but why did n't you say so then? ” The intoxication faded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I am sorry to suggest the need of corrobora- tion. ” “ You doubt my word? ” she flashed.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I do n't know why I have stayed. ”: 230 THE ABANDONED ROOM “ How shall I find the courage to sleep to- night? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I do n't know. ” “ It was a long time? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I may witness this outrage? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I want to get the lamplight on your head. ” “ I ai n't badly hurt? ” Blackburn whined.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ I'm right so far, am I not, Jenkins?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ If the court was planted, ” Graham answered, “ why should n't these rooms have been? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ If you did n't think it was one of the maids,"Graham asked, “ what did you make of it? ” “ I thought it came from outside.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ If you had killed him you would have taken the cast and the hand- kerchief and destroyed them?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ If you had n't come, Carlos, where would I have been? ” “ Why did you come? ” Graham asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ If you had n't come, Carlos, where would I have been? ” “ Why did you come? ” Graham asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ If, ” he answered,"the source of these crimes is, as you think, spiritual, why not ask the spirits for a solution?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Is it likely?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Is n't it clear I must go in my own service? ” he said, trying to smile.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Is n't that an automobile coming through the woods? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Is the doctor with you? ” He nodded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ It was before luncheon yesterday. ” “ Did she leave no instructions?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ It's happened, Jenkins- whatever he feared. ” “ Not Mr. Silas? ” “ We have to break in, ” she said with a shiver.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ It's no laughing matter. ” “ Then she has definitely disappeared? ” Graham said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ May I?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Might I suggest, ” Graham said, “ that Howells is n't out of the case yet?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ No tricks, Bobby? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Ought I to want you to stand by me? ” Bobby said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Ought n't I to make a clean breast of it?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Seems to me, ” Blackburn went on, “ that I was in the private staircase, but did I walk downstairs?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Shallow around the edges?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Suppose I come back? ” he said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Suppose he's in the old room where How- ells lies? ” But Rawlins found him nowhere upstairs.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Tell us, ” he said, “ when you first woke up?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ That your mistress was coming back? ” Graham flashed.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ That's the voice you heard from the house? ” Graham nodded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ That's what worries me, for she said she would be back after the performance last night. ” “ She left no instructions? ” Graham repeated.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ The motive? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Then how are we to take it? ” Graham persisted angrily.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Then you suspected what they were about? ” he asked her.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Then, ” Bobby asked,"you do n't think I did it? ” “ God knows who did it.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ There has been so much death in this housewho knows? ” Languidly he placed his fingers on the edge of the table opposite hers.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ There is one, ” she had said, “ at twelve- fifteen- time for a little something in the café, and who knows?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Those men? ” Bobby asked wearily.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Trying to scare me?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Want me to drop you, old sawbones? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Was that it?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What ails you, Doctor? ” the coroner was squeak- ing.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What am I to do?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you doing? ” Dr. Groom asked hoarsely.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you driving at? ” Robinson snapped.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you driving at?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you going to do? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you going to do? ” Paredes wanted to know.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you talking about?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What are you trying to do? ” “ I'm sorry, ” Paredes said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What did you wear? ” Robinson asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you know about his report? ” Bobby cried.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you mean?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you mean? ” She pointed to the door of the private staircase.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you mean? ” the detective snarled.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you see? ” “ The house, Bobby! ” Paredes cried.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you suppose he means by that? ” the detective said to Graham.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you think of Paredes coming back as if nothing were wrong? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What do you think of that, Rawlins? ” But the detective stepped close and whispered in the district attorney's ear.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What else is there? ” she asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What had these people to gain by drugging you?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What has all this to do with the Cedars?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What has it got to do with the case as it stands to- night? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is it, Bobby?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is it, Katherine? ” Graham demanded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is it? ” Bobby demanded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is it?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is one to do? ” he ended.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is one to make of it, sir? ” Paredes spoke softly to Graham.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What is there to keep me? ” Yet he sat back in his chair again and appeared to have forgotten his intention.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What makes you ask that? ” the other whined.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What more do you want?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What then? ” the detective asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What they doing here? ” He indicated Paredes.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What was it?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What was that?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What were you doing? ” Graham asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What you crying for, Katy?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What you doing, Doc- tor Groom?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's amazing about that? ” he jerked out.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's that?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's that?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's that? ” he asked sharply.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's that? ” she asked sharply.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's the matter now? ” he demanded in his gruff voice.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's the matter with the back of your neck? ” Blackburn drew fearfully away.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's the matter with you two?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's the matter with you, Jenkins?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's the matter? ” “ You're there.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's the rumpus? ” “ Run this man to Smithtown,"Robinson di- rected.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's this fellow doing here?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's to be done now, sir? ” Rawlins asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's to prevent his running away? ” “ I'm offering him every opportunity.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's up? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ What's your plan? ” Robinson asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ When did she go out? ” Graham asked the hall man.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ When your grandfather's buried, ” Graham an- swered softly, “ we'll all feel happier. ” “ Why? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ When, ” he asked,"did you see her last?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where are you going? ” he heard Robinson de- mand.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where are you going? ” she whispered.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where are you, Mr. Robert? ” “ Here, ” Bobby answered sleepily.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where did you come from?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where have you been? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where is the report now?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where you been? ” Robinson demanded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where's Katherine? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Where's Robinson? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Who are you? ” The stranger with his free hand threw back his coat lapel.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Who is that? ” Robinson cried.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Who is that? ” he called.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Who is this? ” he asked, indicating Graham.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Who would be in that room?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Who-- who is it?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why am I here in the woods near the Cedars?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why are you dressed like that, Bobby?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why are you looking at me like that? ” Her contralto laugh rippled.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why did he ever come here to sleep? ” he asked in his rumbling bass voice.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why did n't she write to me? ”"Have you been very friendly with Katherne lately?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why did n't she write to me? ”"Have you been very friendly with Katherne lately?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why did you maintain this extraordinary secrecy?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why did you tell me to make no attempt to find the guilty person? ” “ Because, ” she answered, “ you were too sure it was yourself.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why do you ask?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why do you come, Katherine? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why do you go?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why do you say that? ” Her hand left his arm.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why do you talk about ghosts? ” he whined.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why do you talk to me like this? ” “ Because I tell you I'm on the case, and I want you to turn about and go straight to the Cedars."
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why does he keep repeating that it is full of ghosts?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why does that court draw him? ” Robinson asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why go outside for that? ”.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why have you come?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why have you stayed?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why not?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why should I have killed him if not to destroy those? ” Bobby took her up with a quick hope.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why should I stay? ” he grumbled.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why should he give me a chance to slip away? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why should we bother about his money? ”"I wish you had bothered about several things besides your ghosts, ” Paredes said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why should you have gone to that room this afternoon? ” Graham asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why then,"he asked,"did you attempt to oblit- erate them?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why, in the name of heaven, Bobby, do you run around with that damned Panamanian?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why, ” he asked simply, “ do you say he was murdered?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Why? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Will you come, Bobby? ” As they crossed the dining room they heard a stir- ring in the kitchen.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Would you mind if I came, too?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Would you, ” he asked, “ call a man going about in an asphasia quite human?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ Yet how could she know there'd be a search?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You acknowledge these footmarks were here, Mr. Blackburn? ” “ Certainly, ” Bobby answered.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You are quite sure, ” he asked, puzzled,"that Hartley understood?"
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You came out and aroused up at once? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You coming on this little joy ride like a lamb or a lion?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You could recognize the woman who attacked you? ” Rawlins said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You did n't get the cast and the handkerchief? ” he said.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You got the cast and the handkerchief, Bobby? ” And when he did n't answer at once she asked with a sharp rush of fear: “ What's the matter?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You got the cast and the handkerchief, Bobby? ” And when he did n't answer at once she asked with a sharp rush of fear: “ What's the matter?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You heard it? ” Bobby breathed.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You remember me? ” Bobby asked.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You saw nothing put in his wine? ” Paredes laughed.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You trying to make a fool of me?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You trying to scare me, Katy? ” he asked sus- piciously.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You trying to tell me I ca n't stay with you? ” He pointed to Paredes.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You want me to go there- and — and take from his pocket those things? ” She nodded.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You'll be at the grave-- as chief mourner? ” Bobby walked from the room.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You'll permit this, Bobby?
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You'll take no chances, Hartley? ” 112 THE ABANDONED ROOM Graham's smile was n't pleasant.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You're quite through? ” The coroner's eyes blazed.
hvd.hx5gsg	“ You're sure you locked the door? ” Robinson asked “ Yes.
hvd.hwkysr	... Shall we go? ” The woman had wholly triumphed.
hvd.hwkysr	10 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO my he shrus carlo tod her shoull of hou should “ May I ask where you are staying here? ” he enquired presently.
hvd.hwkysr	12 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO “ And yet you are here? ” “ Yet I am here."
hvd.hwkysr	126 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO “ and as for the signature, do you mean to say really that that is not yours? ” “ Certainly not, ” he assured her.
hvd.hwkysr	22 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO might be agreeable?
hvd.hwkysr	318 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO “ Markets about the same, I suppose?

hvd.hwkysr	AN AMAZING ELOPEMENT 363 “ My father?
hvd.hwkysr	All the same, what you have said does n't make any differ- ence. ” “ Does not make any difference?"
hvd.hwkysr	An immense amount of blood would be shed, treasure recklessly poured out, Europe be rendered desolate, for the sake most largely of whom?
hvd.hwkysr	Are n't you up rather early this morning? ” “ I could n't sleep, ” she sighed.
hvd.hwkysr	Are you alone? ” Hunterleys hesitated.
hvd.hwkysr	Are you going to ask your husband?
hvd.hwkysr	Are you here in Monte Carlo to look after your wife, or in search of change of air and scene?
hvd.hwkysr	Are you plotting to dethrone the Prince of Monaco and take his place? ” “ Not exactly that, ” Hunterleys replied, a little wearily.
hvd.hwkysr	Are you sure that you did not come here to spy upon me?"
hvd.hwkysr	Are you used to winning en plein like that? ” She turned her head and looked at him.
hvd.hwkysr	At the last moment, however, she was not well enough, and he almost insisted upon my taking her place. ” “ Is it necessary to explain?
hvd.hwkysr	By the by, you've nothing about the place, I suppose, if you should be raided?"
hvd.hwkysr	Ca n't I go in just for a moment?
hvd.hwkysr	Ca n't you even be safe in your room for five minutes without keeping one of those little articles under your newspaper while you read your letters?
hvd.hwkysr	Ca n't you trust me, Violet? ” he im- plored, his voice softening.
hvd.hwkysr	Can you come up later — say at one o'clock? ” “ Certainly, ” Hunterleys answered.
hvd.hwkysr	Could n't I have a 6 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO week's holiday?

hvd.hwkysr	Do you indeed wish to invade England? ” Selingman poured himself out a glass of wine from the bottle which stood at his elbow.
hvd.hwkysr	Do you know that this is the first time I have played since I have been in Monte Carlo? ” She watched him half in fear.
hvd.hwkysr	Do you know that your face was one great beam when I came in?"
hvd.hwkysr	Do you mind being paid now?
hvd.hwkysr	Do you think that I should be a severe creditor?

hvd.hwkysr	For a few mo- ments their conversation was conventional “ I trust that you think your wife looking better for the change? ” Draconmeyer began.
hvd.hwkysr	Had he ever ex- plained the matter fully and carefully enough to her?
hvd.hwkysr	Had he really been too much engrossed in his work?
hvd.hwkysr	Had it been his fault?

hvd.hwkysr	Henry “ WHO IS MR. GREX? ” 55 had been at Bordighera and San Remo and I came out with Mr. and Mrs.
hvd.hwkysr	Here am I, craving for noth- ing so much on earth as the sympathy, the affection of — shall I say such a woman as you?
hvd.hwkysr	How did “ TAKE ME AWAY! ” 201 your wife do last night?
hvd.hwkysr	How is Linda this morning? ” Draconmeyer smiled a little ruefully as he returned.
hvd.hwkysr	How much have you got on you? ” “ Precious little, thank heavens! ” Richard mut- tered.
hvd.hwkysr	I am content to wait. ” “ To wait for what?
hvd.hwkysr	I am not my own master. ” “ Not your own master?
hvd.hwkysr	I am practically free of his room but what's the good?
hvd.hwkysr	I brought nine hundred pounds out with me, and I have nothing more to come until June. ” “ And how much have you left of the nine hundred pounds?
hvd.hwkysr	I came to see if you felt disposed for a motor ride this morning? ” “ I should love it, ” she assented.
hvd.hwkysr	I can only give you one little piece of advice. ” “ Well, what is it?
hvd.hwkysr	I have been staying fur- ther down the coast. ” “ Happen to know any one of the name of Grex?
hvd.hwkysr	I hope that you will dine with us to- night?
hvd.hwkysr	I only hope, Dick, that she is —"“ She is what? ” he demanded, looking at her steadfastly.
hvd.hwkysr	I see that your husband's little protégée, Felicia Roche, is here. ” “ My husband's protégée? ” she repeated.
hvd.hwkysr	I shall try my luck with your money? ” “ Violet!

hvd.hwkysr	I won- der what time it is? ” “ Half past four, ” Lord Weybourne announced, glancing at his watch.
hvd.hwkysr	IN THE MISTS 93 “ That brute — did n't touch you, did he? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	If there is no one else, tell me, why there should n't be 96 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO the slightest chance for me?
hvd.hwkysr	In plain words, what do you want with me? ” “ I am here with reference to the affair of last night, ” the other declared.
hvd.hwkysr	In what respect?
hvd.hwkysr	Is it likely that he could have any business whatever to transact for the Govern- WILY MR. DRACONMEYER 213 ment in Monte Carlo?
hvd.hwkysr	Is n't a humiliation for her when she does stop to think of it?
hvd.hwkysr	Is n't that the truth, now, honestly?
hvd.hwkysr	Is that so?
hvd.hwkysr	Is that your honest motive for being here?
hvd.hwkysr	Is there any one of the men of your country whom you have met, whom you want to marry? ” She frowned slightly.
hvd.hwkysr	Is your brain working?
hvd.hwkysr	It is an apartment better by far than the one you have been occupying, and the price is the same. ” “ But what on earth has happened in my room?
hvd.hwkysr	It is really quite impossible. ” “ If I go now, will you be at the Club to- morrow afternoon? ” he pleaded.
hvd.hwkysr	Kind of a blithering idiot, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	Lane?"
hvd.hwkysr	Makes one feel quite homesick, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	May I not remind you that you are not alone in your sorrows?
hvd.hwkysr	Monsieur desires my address?
hvd.hwkysr	My name is Hugot?
hvd.hwkysr	Now I know that I can not do it. ” “ Do you really mean that? ” he asked, in a tone of deep disappointment.
hvd.hwkysr	Now ca n't you tell me something about the affair? ” They came forward.
hvd.hwkysr	One speaks quite plainly, I imagine, before our friend the enemy? ” he added, smiling towards Selingman.
hvd.hwkysr	Perhaps, later on, you may look at the matter differently. ” “ Later on? ” Mr. Grex murmured.
hvd.hwkysr	Please tell me why not? ” Richard begged.
hvd.hwkysr	Please try and be yourself, wo n't you?"
hvd.hwkysr	Say, are you English, or French, or what? ” he asked, point blank.
hvd.hwkysr	Say, what are you going to do about it, Sir Henry? ” “ There is only one thing I can do, ” Hunterleys replied grimly.
hvd.hwkysr	See?
hvd.hwkysr	Shall we finish our promenade, Lady Hunterleys?
hvd.hwkysr	Sir Henry, ” she added suddenly, “ did I see Lady Hunterleys to- day on the Terrace?
hvd.hwkysr	Supposing I were to offer my services as an intermediary?
hvd.hwkysr	Supposing he threw up his work and let things take their course?
hvd.hwkysr	Surely, though, you do n't find the Italian Riviera very amus- ing? ” “ I am abroad for a rest, ” Hunterleys replied.
hvd.hwkysr	Tell me again, you are sure that there is no one? ” “ Certainly not, ” she replied stiffly.
hvd.hwkysr	Tell me exactly what it is you want me to do? ” “ I want you, ” Hunterleys explained, “ to risk a smash, if you do n't mind.
hvd.hwkysr	Tell me how you first heard of the affair? ” “ I got wind of it in Sofia, ” Hunterleys explained.
hvd.hwkysr	Tell me, do you really mean to go on with this at- tempt of yours to- night?
hvd.hwkysr	Tell me, my co- guardian, how you are going to excuse your- self?
hvd.hwkysr	That is to say, they'll wait to capture him instead of shooting. ” “ Say, you do n't mean this seriously?
hvd.hwkysr	That, however, I could scarcely ex- pect, considering ” “ Considering what? ” he insisted, watching her steadfastly.
hvd.hwkysr	There is a sheer drop of fifty feet on to the beach. ” “ You think they have no suspicion about the roof?"
hvd.hwkysr	There is n't anything likely to bring trouble upon — them, is there? ” “ Certainly not, ” he replied promptly.
hvd.hwkysr	There is something else in your life — you have some other feeling about this man Hunterleys'death?
hvd.hwkysr	They are both waiting for you, I think. ” “ And you? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	They seemed quite comforta- ble, so I begged them to remain on as my guests for a short time. ” “ To remain?"
hvd.hwkysr	V. “ Who is Mr. Grex? ”.
hvd.hwkysr	Violet, ca n't you give me as much as this? ” His hand, hot and trembling, sought hers, touched and gripped it.
hvd.hwkysr	Was that Simpson who came by the Luxe this morning?"
hvd.hwkysr	We do not understand it in mine. ” “ Do n't your men ever tell your women that they love them? ” he asked bluntly.
hvd.hwkysr	We'll lunch across at Ciro's, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	Well, I made up my mind about you the first moment we met. ” “ About me?
hvd.hwkysr	Well? ” “ At ten o'clock, Draconmeyer and Selingman ar- rived.
hvd.hwkysr	What about a round of golf at La Turbie?
hvd.hwkysr	What am I to do if you send me away?
hvd.hwkysr	What are they up to, anyway?
hvd.hwkysr	What are you do- ing here? ” “ I've got a little boat in the harbour, ” Richard replied, as he drew up a chair.
hvd.hwkysr	What are you going to do?
hvd.hwkysr	What can he have to write about?
hvd.hwkysr	What did you want, Henry? ” “ I should like, ” he explained, “ to talk to you for a quarter of an hour.
hvd.hwkysr	What do they want to get rid of us for?
hvd.hwkysr	What do you say?
hvd.hwkysr	What do you want with me?
hvd.hwkysr	What do you want with me?
hvd.hwkysr	What does Sidney say about it?"
hvd.hwkysr	What does it mean, I wonder?
hvd.hwkysr	What does it mean? ” “ I have been talking to him for twenty minutes in here before you came,"Draconmeyer said.
hvd.hwkysr	What does she think of that, I wonder?
hvd.hwkysr	What have you against Hunterleys? ” “ His nationality, ” Draconmeyer answered coolly.
hvd.hwkysr	What inference was he to draw?
hvd.hwkysr	What is it that you wish from me? ” “ Not political information, ” Mr. Draconmeyer declared, his eyes blinking behind his glasses.
hvd.hwkysr	What is the nature of these enquiries of yours?"
hvd.hwkysr	What is your object, Herr Se- lingman?
hvd.hwkysr	What more natural than revenge?
hvd.hwkysr	What more natural than that the Wolves should revenge themselves upon the man who captured one of their leaders?
hvd.hwkysr	What on earth do you mean when you say that you can not leave Monte Carlo? ” “ I mean just what I say, ” he replied.
hvd.hwkysr	What place could suit us better?
hvd.hwkysr	What then? ” “ I should say that you were a fool! ” Hunterleys shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwkysr	What will they say, those who suspect us, if they see us drinking tea and eating many cakes together?
hvd.hwkysr	What's happening, Dick? ” The young man's face was almost transformed.
hvd.hwkysr	Where had he been with Richard Lane?
hvd.hwkysr	Who gave you this roving commission, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	Who is the quarry?
hvd.hwkysr	Who is the quarry?
hvd.hwkysr	Who wants a ruined France?
hvd.hwkysr	Who was he?"
hvd.hwkysr	Who's the French Johnny who arrived last night?"
hvd.hwkysr	Why do I find it locked against me? ” “ By order of the Director of the Police, mon- sieur, ” was the parrot- like reply.
hvd.hwkysr	Why do I find my room closed and this gendarme outside?"
hvd.hwkysr	Why do you ask? ” “ Oh, I've seen an elderly man and a young lady about once or twice,"Lane explained.
hvd.hwkysr	Why is it that no one in the world understands,"he cried, “ what Germany wants?
hvd.hwkysr	Why not here?
hvd.hwkysr	Why not?
hvd.hwkysr	Why not?
hvd.hwkysr	Why should we pretend that there is any more interesting subject to men like ourselves, in whom is placed the trust of our country?"
hvd.hwkysr	Why should we, too, not speak of fateful things? ” Mr. Draconmeyer glanced around.
hvd.hwkysr	Why should you sacrifice yourself for her? ” Monsieur Douaille stroked his little grey imperial.
hvd.hwkysr	Will you be good enough to give me five minutes'con- versation? ” “ With pleasure, ” Hunterleys replied.
hvd.hwkysr	Will you come? ” “ Violet, I can not, ” he replied hoarsely.
hvd.hwkysr	Will you do so?
hvd.hwkysr	Will you give me a chance?"
hvd.hwkysr	Will you have some tea with us? ” “ Do, Henry, ” his wife begged.
hvd.hwkysr	Will you please be very kind, Violet, and not ask me too much about this?
hvd.hwkysr	Will you tell me the truth?
hvd.hwkysr	Wo n't you be brave, Fedora?
hvd.hwkysr	Wo n't you go now?
hvd.hwkysr	Wo n't you please go now? ” “ When may I come again?
hvd.hwkysr	Wo n't you please go now? ” “ When may I come again?
hvd.hwkysr	Wo n't you try and forget that you have lost a few pennies; forget, also, your other worries, whatever they may be?
hvd.hwkysr	Would you object to driving with me — say as far as Mentone and back? ” “ I will come if you wish it,"she answered, looking a little surprised.
hvd.hwkysr	Yes, is that the enquiry of- fice?
hvd.hwkysr	You are Richard Lane, are n't you?
hvd.hwkysr	You are going to sing again, are n't you? ” “ If there is no change, ” she replied.
hvd.hwkysr	You are n't a queen, are you, or anything of that sort?
hvd.hwkysr	You are not, I presume, alone here? ” She eyed him a little defiantly.
hvd.hwkysr	You are quite sure that you will not change?"
hvd.hwkysr	You are, perhaps, a stranger to civilised society?"
hvd.hwkysr	You can surely leave a place or not at your own will? ” “ It happens, ” he sighed, “ that I can not.
hvd.hwkysr	You could n't clear out for a little time, ” he suggested, “ both of you?
hvd.hwkysr	You do n't know much of the world, do you?
hvd.hwkysr	You do n't suppose that by any chance she imagined — that you came to see me? ” Hunterleys was struck by the thought.
hvd.hwkysr	You do n't want her to break down, do you? ” “ Good heavens, no! ” her brother exclaimed.
hvd.hwkysr	You have n't minded — what I've said?"
hvd.hwkysr	You have received no indication of that, I suppose? ” “ None whatever, ” Hunterleys answered.
hvd.hwkysr	You understand what I mean? ” “ You mean that you are threatened with assas- sination? ” the manager asked gravely.
hvd.hwkysr	You understand what I mean? ” “ You mean that you are threatened with assas- sination? ” the manager asked gravely.
hvd.hwkysr	You wo n't send David after him?"
hvd.hwkysr	You wo n't — you wo n't rob me of everything in life, will you?
hvd.hwkysr	You would like to bring about better relations with my country, would you not, Sir Henry?
hvd.hwkysr	You've nothing to tell me, I suppose, as to how he met with his wound? ” “ Nothing. ” They walked out together into the night.
hvd.hwkysr	Your husband does n't come into the rooms much? ” Violet shook her head.
hvd.hwkysr	what is that I see? ” he added, rising suddenly to his feet.
hvd.hwkysr	“ A Spanish lady, altogether ravishing, the equal of Otéro at her best — Signorina Melita. ” “ She dances alone?
hvd.hwkysr	“ A rest?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Am I — ought I to go and see her?
hvd.hwkysr	“ An accident?
hvd.hwkysr	“ And a party?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ And while we are talking in a more or less friendly fashion, ” he went on earnestly, “ might I give you just one more word of counsel?
hvd.hwkysr	“ And why should you have them addressed to the bank? ” He folded up the paper then and put it in his pocket.
hvd.hwkysr	“ And you will not give me a reason?
hvd.hwkysr	“ And you'll have to be amiable to some one you've never seen in your life before, I suppose?
hvd.hwkysr	“ And your present anxiety is to know where I spent the inter- vening time, and why I am here in Monte Carlo?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Any breakfast, monsieur?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Any more scraps going? ” Hunterleys sipped his whisky and soda thought- fully.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Anything fresh?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are all the men of your nation so self- confi- dent?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are there any con- ditions?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you feeling it?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you going to shoot up?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you inclined to tell me with whom your ap- pointment is, and for what purpose? ” she asked coldly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you married?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you not a little mysterious this afternoon, Mr. Draconmeyer? ” he asked coldly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you quite ready for tea, Lady Hunterleys?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you serious?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you so colossal a fool as only to have guessed it at this moment?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you sure that I am not detaining you? ” “ Not in the least.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Are you the valet on this floor?
hvd.hwkysr	“ As for you, Miss Fedora — you do n't mind my calling you Miss Fedora, do you?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Be- sides, I hate the place. ” “ Did you happen to notice whether Mr. Grex was in there?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Because I want to marry you? ” She stamped with her foot upon the ground.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Besides, what does it matter?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Break down? ” David repeated.
hvd.hwkysr	“ But do you mean really that those guns all the time were n't loaded? ” “ I do n't believe they were, ” Richard declared stoutly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ But has he any pull here, this Mr. Grex?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ But have I not told you already, ” she protested, “ that I do not receive callers?
hvd.hwkysr	“ But how do you know what I am?
hvd.hwkysr	“ But look here, ca n't I do something?
hvd.hwkysr	“ But what good are you doing here, anyway? ” Hunterleys smiled and glanced carefully around the room.
hvd.hwkysr	“ But why? ” EXTRAORDINARY LOVE- MAKING 261 “ Come, ” he protested, “ that's a little too bad.
hvd.hwkysr	“ By the Luxe?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Ca n't you tell me at least what has happened?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Can not?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Can we change the subject, please?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Can you spare me one moment? ” They stood a little on one side, out of the way of the moving throng of people.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Cheerful time we had last night, had n't we? ” he remarked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Coffee for one or two, sir? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Come and sit down for a moment, will you, Sir Henry? ” he invited.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Could n't we sit down somewhere in these wonderful gardens of yours and talk?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Could you recognise the person who presented it — you or your clerk? ” SIGNS OF TROUBLE 103 The manager shook his head.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Coulois, ” he whispered, “ the wolves bay loudest at night, is it not so? ” The man sat quite still.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Dead?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Dicky, are you, by any chance, in earnest?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Dicky, ” she murmured, wiping her eyes, “ tell me, is that why you are sitting there, looking as though you could see right into Heaven?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Did I do as you wished, dear? ” she asked him anxiously.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Did you want me? ” she asked, with a little start.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do n't you find it dull? ” “ If I do, ” she went on,"it is only for a little time.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do n't you think I'm big enough to take care of myself?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do n't you think, ” she returned, “ that you are a little outstepping your privileges?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do people talk like this to casual acquaintances in your country?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you address me? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you feel well enough to walk as far as Lady Hunterleys'apartment with the aid of my arm?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you know anything about this affair?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you know him personally?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you know the time?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you mean that my wife is gambling beyond her means? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you mean this?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you mind telling me of what nationality you are? ” “ I see no reason why I should tell you anything."
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you offer it to me as Linda's husband?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you really mean take you back to London, Violet?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you think that I want to buy you?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Do you want to come in?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Does Linda know how much you have lent me?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Does Mr. Draconmeyer know that you are leav- ing? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Does Violet want me? ” “ She is still feeling the shock, ” Draconmeyer 252 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO said.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Does it matter, ” he asked abruptly, “ that I am rich — very rich?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Engaged? ” she murmured.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Engaged?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Fedora does n't mind? ” Hunterleys asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ For a day, perhaps, or two. ” “ What do you know about him? ” Draconmeyer asked, his eyes suddenly bright beneath his spectacles.
hvd.hwkysr	“ For how long?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Forgive me if I was a little prolix, ” he said, “ but, after all, what would you have?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Found his way into my room? ” Hunterleys re- peated.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Frenhofer? ” Hunterleys repeated, interroga- tively.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Has anything happened here, Peter?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Has he had it?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Have I been a brute? ” he asked softly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Have I ever seen you before? ” “ Never, monsieur, unless you happened to notice me on your visit to the prison.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Have I not 40 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO done my best to reciprocate?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Have you copies of your reports to London?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Have you heard anything about Henry?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Have you made any plans?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ He came back a few minutes ago, ” Draconmeyer replied, “ and has gone out again. ” “ Gone out again? ” Draconmeyer nodded.
hvd.hwkysr	“ How can I tell that?
hvd.hwkysr	“ How did the fellow get into my room?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ How do the rehear- sals go? ” “ The rehearsals are all right, ” she admitted, look- ing up at him almost pathetically.
hvd.hwkysr	“ How do you do, Sir Henry? ” Hunterleys returned his greeting, a little blankly at first.
hvd.hwkysr	“ How do you know that?
hvd.hwkysr	“ How go things, friend Allen?
hvd.hwkysr	“ How's Fe- licia?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ How's the nerve, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	“ I am afraid that my interest was rather mercenary. ” “ You want to borrow some money? ” he enquired, taking out his pocket- book.
hvd.hwkysr	“ I can count on you, of course, if I arrange any- thing? ” “ I am afraid not, ” Hunterleys regretted.
hvd.hwkysr	“ I do n't understand. ” “ Did you write that? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ I have n't offended you? ” he begged.
hvd.hwkysr	“ I know it, ” the other admitted, “ but what am I to do?
hvd.hwkysr	“ I say, Sir Henry, you wo n't mind if we leave early? ” “ I shall be jolly glad to get away, ” Hunterleys assented heartily.
hvd.hwkysr	“ I should just like to know who it is trying to get me kicked out. ” “ Ca n't you guess?
hvd.hwkysr	“ I should like to ask you, Selingman, ” he said, “ whether you have made any definite plans for your conflict with the British Navy?
hvd.hwkysr	“ I suppose there is no doubt that Henry is at the Club? ” she asked, looking eagerly around the hall.
hvd.hwkysr	“ I suppose, ” she said, “ that you are quite sure of what you told me the other evening about this young singer — Felicia Roche?
hvd.hwkysr	“ I want you to tell me the name of the gentleman and young lady who are sitting over there at the corner table?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ I wonder,"she murmured, “ could I send an- other message to him?
hvd.hwkysr	“ I'd like to be introduced to her before four o'clock, propose to her this evening, and — and — ” “ And what?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ If I come, ” she whispered, “ you are quite sure that you mean it all?
hvd.hwkysr	“ If I have other feelings of which I have not spoken,"he said quietly, “ have I not kept them to myself?
hvd.hwkysr	“ If I make my excuses and leave Monte Carlo to- night, ” she went on, “ will you come with me?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ If it would not be regarded as a liberty, ” he said at last, as Hunterleys rose to move off, “ may I be permitted to present myself?
hvd.hwkysr	“ If you are in earnest, and I have no doubt that you are, I should clear out. ” “ What is it you are trying to make me under- stand?
hvd.hwkysr	“ If you had?
hvd.hwkysr	“ In return, may I say something to you?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is Mr. Grex at home? ” Richard enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is Sidney back? ” Hunterleys asked eagerly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is he hurt?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is n't this rather a new departure of yours?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is that all he told you of his movements?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is that what you came to say? ” The other shook his head.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is the door closed?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is the young man in love, do you suppose?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is there any news of Sidney? ” he asked quickly, as he took her hand.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is there anything wrong with my appearance?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is there dancing here to- night? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is this just curiosity? ” “ Rather more than that, ” Richard said boldly."
hvd.hwkysr	“ Is your keeper anywhere in the vicinity? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ It is n't quite correct, is it? ” he answered, a lit- tle absently.
hvd.hwkysr	“ It is only a sudden feeling on your part, is n't it?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Just a little impetuous, are n't you? ” “ I should say so, ” he admitted.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Just as well you were in the room, though. ” “ Surrounded by mysteries, are n't you, old chap?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Lane,"he said, “ I have given you several hints during the day, have n't I? ”.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Messieurs will be pleased to descend. ”"What the — what's wrong?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Monsieur Picard, ” he exclaimed, “ what on earth HUNTERLEYS SCENTS MURDER 243 is the meaning of this?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Monsieur is doubtless a stranger to Monte Carlo?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Monsieur's friend has departed? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ My dear Dick, that does n't sound very reasonable, does it? ” “ I tell you that they do, ” he persisted.
hvd.hwkysr	“ No! ” “ Do you care very much for any one else? ” “ No! ” she told him softly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ No,"she confessed, “ I am not a queen, and yet — ” “ And yet? ” “ You must go back,"she insisted, rising abruptly to her feet.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Not from Linda's husband? ” She threw her cigarette into the grate and stood looking at him.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Not going up to La Turbie, by any chance? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Now what do I do, monsieur?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Now what is it that you want? ” Hunterleys asked, a little brusquely, as soon as they were alone.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Now what is the nature of this mission, please?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Of all places in the world, ” she murmured, “ to meet you here! ” “ Is it so extraordinary? ” “ I find it so, ” she admitted."
hvd.hwkysr	“ Or are you trying to incite a supposititious curiosity?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Or even what I am like?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Personally?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Rather an uncommon name, is n't it?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Richard, ” Hunterleys said, “ will you see me through?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Say, do you know where Sir Henry is?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Say, have you got a valet here with you? ” the young man enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Say, old chap, are you in a hurry or anything?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Say, what do you mean by this?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Say, where are you off to, Sir Henry? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Send this up to Sir Henry, will you?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Shall we go? ” he suggested.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Since you defy my authority, ” he said, “ may I ask whether my wishes have any weight with you? ” “ That depends, ” she replied.
hvd.hwkysr	“ So they've got you, too, Dicky, have they?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Some champagne? ” he suggested.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Still no success, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Succeed? ” Selingman interrupted.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Successful, I trust?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Tell us what it's all about, anyhow? ” he asked coolly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ That may have been so at first, ” Hunterleys agreed, “ but how about since then?

hvd.hwkysr	“ The affair of last night?
hvd.hwkysr	“ The hotel people seem all to look upon it as in the day's work. ” “ I wonder if Henry had my note? ” she faltered.
hvd.hwkysr	“ The little affair at La Turbie?
hvd.hwkysr	“ The little girl's told you the news, I suppose?
hvd.hwkysr	“ The whole thing is a forgery. ” “ But who in the world should want to get your letters?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Then may I ask how you really mean to get more money?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Then who could this person have been?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Then why have you come?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Then you're not going to take advantage of your little warning and clear out? ” Hunterleys contin- ued.
hvd.hwkysr	“ There is one person who I think would be quite as well pleased to see the back of you. ” “ Here in Monte Carlo?
hvd.hwkysr	“ They ca n't do more than arrest him as a trespasser, or something of that sort, surely?

hvd.hwkysr	“ Well, dear philosopher, ” he exclaimed, “ why this subdued aspect?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Well, unless what?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Well?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Were you waiting for me? ” The young man fell into step by his side.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What about the young lady?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What about your friend Mr. Grex?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ What are you going to do about it?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What are you here for? ” Jean Coulois said nothing.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What do you mean? ” 154 MR. GREX OF MONTE CARLO that you know the truth.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean that I am here in Monte Carlo not for my own pleasure.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What do you mean? ” “ You knew, of course, that they were engaged? ” he explained.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What do you mean? ” “ You knew, of course, that they were engaged? ” he explained.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What do you want?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ What does Hunterleys do here? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What does that mean?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What else is there that I do not know?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ What is it that you wish to tell me? ” she asked patiently.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What is it?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What is the use of telling her?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What is your name?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What sort of weather did you have in Algiers?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ What the mischief are you doing here? ” Hun- terleys demanded.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What the mischief have you got there? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What we want to discover is, exactly how much does Hunterleys know of certain operations of ours which are going on here?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What's it all about, eh?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What's it all about?
hvd.hwkysr	“ What's the matter with you all here? ” Hunter- leys demanded, irritably.
hvd.hwkysr	“ What's the matter with you, Richard? ” “ She is n't here, ” the young man declared.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Whatever is the matter with you both?
hvd.hwkysr	“ When did you arrive?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Whenever you feel that you would like to go down and have something, do n't mind me, will you? ” she begged.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Where can I find him? ” Hunterleys asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Where is she?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Where's Sidney? ” “ He's working now.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who are you? ” Hunterleys demanded.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who are you? ” he muttered.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who in the name of mischief,"he exclaimed softly, “ is Mr. Grex! ” CHAPTER V “ WHO IS MR. GREX?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who is coming with me to the Club?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who is it?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who knows but that the big things may come, even this afternoon?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who knows?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who the devil are you? ” he enquired.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Who the mischief is my prospective father- in- law? ” Richard demanded, almost testily.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Whom — whom are you going down with? ” “ I am with Richard Lane, ” he answered, “ in his two- seated racer. ” She bit her lip.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why do you ask?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why do you call her your little protégée?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why in the name of mischief should I do that?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why may not I form a harmless unit of it? ” “ Why not, indeed?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why may not I form a harmless unit of it? ” “ Why not, indeed?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why not, indeed?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why not?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why not?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why should I not come to Monte Carlo?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Why, you talk like a prince, ” she murmured, “ and yet you know how impossible it is. ” “ Is it? ” he asked quietly.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Will he go?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Will our friend take this very reasonable hint and depart?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Will you allow me to get it changed for you? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Will you forgive me if I talk without reserve for a few moments? ” he began, leaning a little towards her.
hvd.hwkysr	“ Will you tell me something, Mr. Draconmeyer?
hvd.hwkysr	“ Will you tell me why you refuse my offer?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ You are Mr. Richard Lane, is it not so, mon- sieur? ” “ You've guessed it in one, ” Richard admitted.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You are not going to play?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You are not leaving Monte Carlo at present, then, Sir Henry?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ You do n't anticipate any scrapping, or anything of that sort?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You do n't know her? ” Richard asked, in a dis- appointed whisper.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You do not mean that you will persist after what I have told you? ” He looked at her, almost surprised.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You had my note, Henry? ” Her tone was almost beseeching.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You have been losing?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ You have n't told me yet, ” he added, “ how the game went last night? ” “ I lost every penny of that thousand pounds,"she declared.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You have something more to say, have n't you?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You know, of course, of the little surprise our young American friend had prepared for Mr. Grex? ” Hunterleys shook his head.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You mean that they have eloped? ” HONEYMOONING 377 two young people was most impressive.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You mean to say that Mr. Draconmeyer wrote that order-- that he wanted to get possession of your letters?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You mean, ” he asked, dropping his voice a little, 66 that it is finished?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ You mean,"she faltered, “ that you will not come?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You still up?"
hvd.hwkysr	“ You were not alone up in that gallery! ” “ Getting warm, are n't you? ” Richard murmured.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You will send this off from Cannes with your own, Briston?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You would n't believe that I was a fatalist, would you?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You would n't — you could n't drive down with us, could you? ” “ Have you plenty of room?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You would n't — you could n't drive down with us, could you? ” “ Have you plenty of room?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You'll do everything you can, doctor? ” he begged.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You'll excuse me, wo n't you? ” he begged.
hvd.hwkysr	“ You'll take me away this morning?
hvd.hwkysr	“ You're sure it did n't inconvenience you?

hvd.hnp7li	Curiosity succeeded: how came the receipt here?

hvd.hnp7li	Wake up there, will you? ” “ What's the row?"
hvd.hnp7li	Was it a horse outside against the brushwood fence?
hvd.hnp7li	Was the father a liar or the son something worse?
hvd.hnp7li	Was the latter the first father who had deemed his son's folly a crime, and never forgiven it?
hvd.hnp7li	We did not know the family — you heard of the quarrel?
hvd.hnp7li	We do n't all show it in our faces, do we?"
hvd.hnp7li	We've only one man left, and the Board ca n't split ’ i m into three. ”"Oh, you have one, have you?
hvd.hnp7li	Well, you are nobler even than I thought; do you know what you are doing?
hvd.hnp7li	What can have happened to the fellow — between West End and this?
hvd.hnp7li	What can have happened?"
hvd.hnp7li	What cause?
hvd.hnp7li	What chance do you think you've got?
hvd.hnp7li	What could he do?
hvd.hnp7li	What could he say?
hvd.hnp7li	What could it be?
hvd.hnp7li	What d'ye mean by it, eh? ” “ What I say.
hvd.hnp7li	What do you say?"
hvd.hnp7li	What do you say?"
hvd.hnp7li	What do you suppose was the first thing I found in his pocket?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you suppose?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think I did?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think he said?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think of that?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think of that?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think?
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think? ” “ Claire? ” said Nicholas Harding.
hvd.hnp7li	What do you think? ” “ Claire? ” said Nicholas Harding.
hvd.hnp7li	What else?"
hvd.hnp7li	What had brought Nicholas Harding to New South Wales?
hvd.hnp7li	What had he done?
hvd.hnp7li	What had he found out in those few days, since the discovery of Daintree's crime still came as a surprise to him?
hvd.hnp7li	What have you been doing with them?
hvd.hnp7li	What have you to say for yourself, you ruffian, before I have you put in irons and locked up?"
hvd.hnp7li	What if here were one, and this corpse their handiwork?
hvd.hnp7li	What if it never were accomplished?
hvd.hnp7li	What if it was a mere whim — and not altogether my own?
hvd.hnp7li	What is it? ” “ I would rather not say. ” “ And I insist on knowing. ” “ Very well, then; it is to give Tom Erichsen another chance."
hvd.hnp7li	What is your interpretation?"
hvd.hnp7li	What kind of a pin, now, should you say that it was? ” “ A diamond pin."
hvd.hnp7li	What should you say, Aunt Emily?
hvd.hnp7li	What sort of a watch?"
hvd.hnp7li	What the blazes did he do to get here? ” Suggestions followed, beast capping beast with bestial humour.
hvd.hnp7li	What then was his offence?
hvd.hnp7li	What then?"
hvd.hnp7li	What value can there be in such a love?"
hvd.hnp7li	What was 60 THE ROGUE'S MARCH he doing?
hvd.hnp7li	What was I to do?
hvd.hnp7li	What was he before they kicked him out of his own country?
hvd.hnp7li	What was it he had done and been found out in, this cub whose teeth were always showing, but whose voice was never heard?
hvd.hnp7li	What was it that he heard?
hvd.hnp7li	What was your object? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	What, would you shake my hand?
hvd.hnp7li	What?
hvd.hnp7li	When?
hvd.hnp7li	Where did you find them, eh? ” The tone was loud and blustering, but uncertain and surprised.
hvd.hnp7li	Where to? ” “ Oh, as far as you go! ” Tom's eyes were on the crumpled scrap, and filled to overflowing by half- a- dozen ill- written words.
hvd.hnp7li	Where was Greenacre?
hvd.hnp7li	Where would he be hanged?
hvd.hnp7li	Which do you say, sir?"
hvd.hnp7li	Who could he be?
hvd.hnp7li	Who got that?
hvd.hnp7li	Who threw me on the mercy of kind good folks like you — yes, and made a sponge of me in my turn?
hvd.hnp7li	Who took him away from the iron- gang?
hvd.hnp7li	Who were they?
hvd.hnp7li	Who would have treated him like a brother from that day?
hvd.hnp7li	Why am I rotting and starv- ing here?
hvd.hnp7li	Why did you begin it; why do you go on?
hvd.hnp7li	Why do n't you scorn me and leave me to my fate?
hvd.hnp7li	Why do n't you speak?
hvd.hnp7li	Why is n't Claire married?
hvd.hnp7li	Why not?
hvd.hnp7li	Why not?
hvd.hnp7li	Why not?
hvd.hnp7li	Why pretend this revulsion?"
hvd.hnp7li	Why should I insult you too?
hvd.hnp7li	Why should I?
hvd.hnp7li	Why should he go back to the farm at all — to be bullied and beaten to death or desperation in a cruel and unequal war?
hvd.hnp7li	Why, what do you expect? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	Why, what now?"
hvd.hnp7li	Will he?
hvd.hnp7li	Will you come with me, Erichsen?
hvd.hnp7li	Will you come?
hvd.hnp7li	Will you come?
hvd.hnp7li	Will you come?"
hvd.hnp7li	Will you go? ” “ Will I not!
hvd.hnp7li	Will you marry him if he asks you when it's all over?"
hvd.hnp7li	With whom, pray?"
hvd.hnp7li	Would the roan hold out?
hvd.hnp7li	Would the roan hold out?
hvd.hnp7li	Would you know him again?
hvd.hnp7li	Wrote out my cheque in Dick Vale's cheque- book — you recollect Dick Vale?
hvd.hnp7li	Yes or no? ” “ No, sir; it is impossible. ” “ You shall do just exactly what you like.
hvd.hnp7li	Yes, I'd hang for the hound, and think the satisfaction cheap at the price! ” “ What is his name? ” demanded Claire.
hvd.hnp7li	Yet once the thought stole over him, had he been worthy of Claire when she loved him, would all this ever have been?
hvd.hnp7li	Yet was he not?
hvd.hnp7li	Yet was he?
hvd.hnp7li	Yet you knew nothing about me, it seems? ” And still his tone was that of purely impersonal speculation.
hvd.hnp7li	You do n't ’ appen to be goin'to the'anging on Tuesday?
hvd.hnp7li	You gave him a receipt — and then? ” Tom finished with a leaden heart and tongue.
hvd.hnp7li	You have not done so yet — why should you?
hvd.hnp7li	You know I thought so at the time; you know, I be- lieve, how I backed my opinion to the tune of several hundreds?
hvd.hnp7li	You remember it, do you?
hvd.hnp7li	You remember that point in the de- fence?"
hvd.hnp7li	You suspected nothing, saw nothing suspicious in his manner, nothing familiar in his face?"
hvd.hnp7li	You who said you would do anything in your power to help me?
hvd.hnp7li	Yours?
hvd.hnp7li	ca n't he pitch it in?
hvd.hnp7li	casred Cur so o 12:3 you to think?
hvd.hnp7li	ging Daintree to the trial?
hvd.hnp7li	non 256 THE POGCE'S MARCH “ Are they?"
hvd.hnp7li	on earth come to be?"
hvd.hnp7li	so you've not heard from that villain yet? ” “ Not a line."
hvd.hnp7li	well? ” cried Daintree.
hvd.hnp7li	who will pay for it?"
hvd.hnp7li	why was his heart beating so fast?
hvd.hnp7li	you dare to doubt my word?"
hvd.hnp7li	you keep madmen here as well?"
hvd.hnp7li	you will have it, will you?
hvd.hnp7li	you would, would you?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ A diamond pin; you can swear it was a diamond, can you?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ A friend? ” said he.
hvd.hnp7li	“ A hundred what?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ A runaway convict, of course? ” The question was terribly abrupt, but Tom told the truth.
hvd.hnp7li	“ A very awkward time! ” “ That could n't be helped; the point is, what has hap- pened to him?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Ah then, Tom, an'must I be lavin'ye? ” Her voice was altered.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Ah, but what do n't I owe to you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Already? ” she cried.
hvd.hnp7li	“ An ’ what about you? ” “ I stay with my mates."
hvd.hnp7li	“ An'do n't ye know? ” said she, masking a trembling lip with a smile.
hvd.hnp7li	“ An'is it the new groom ye are?
hvd.hnp7li	“ An'why would they? ” cried Peggy.
hvd.hnp7li	“ And could you identify that gentleman, too? ” Dead silence and a puzzled grin.
hvd.hnp7li	“ And for these you'll hold your tongue until after the trial?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ And what is your object, Hannah?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ And what made you think you were our man? ” asked another trooper suspiciously.
hvd.hnp7li	“ And what of this rascal? ” he added.
hvd.hnp7li	“ And which is the worst, I wonder- them that does or them that does n't?
hvd.hnp7li	“ And who's the overseer? ” inquired Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ And why not? ” chirruped the other.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Another friend of papa's. ” “ Another new friend? ” “ Newer than Mr. Daintree.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Are you not ashamed of yourself, that you can stand there looking me in the face?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ At what? ” “ Your bride disliking to be waited on by convicts.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Bad rations? ” he would croak, when the salt meat was rancid or the fresh meat strong.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Been a groom before? ” “ Only since we left Sydney."
hvd.hnp7li	“ But I did n't quite see the force of that last one, ” said he; “ what was he driving at there?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ But about this overseer of yours: a ticket- of- leave, I understand?
hvd.hnp7li	“ But how can that be?
hvd.hnp7li	“ But how?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ But in this case you have obviously found some- thing; or how would you know who he was?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ But what can Daintree do? ” “ What you thought of doing yourself. ” “ He has never consented? ” “ Eagerly.
hvd.hnp7li	“ But what can Daintree do? ” “ What you thought of doing yourself. ” “ He has never consented? ” “ Eagerly.
hvd.hnp7li	“ But when? ” “ To- morrow- if all goes well."
hvd.hnp7li	“ But why never?
hvd.hnp7li	“ But you know it now?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ But you seemed in such a state about poor Blaydes? ”"I was."
hvd.hnp7li	“ But — shall I tell you something? ” “ Well?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ But — shall I tell you something? ” “ Well?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ By bushrangers? ” observed Major Honeybone.
hvd.hnp7li	“ By not what?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Ca n't you answer?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Ca n't you see that it would kill her not to marry me?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Ca n't you see?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Call that a flogging? ” he would quaver from his ledge.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Can the ruffian ride? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Can you say that you did not?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Can you wonder at it?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Cause?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Come from the country? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Come now, my good fellow,"said his normal voice,( what the deuce is all this?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Could you identify the gentleman who told you the time if you were to see him again?
hvd.hnp7li	“ D'ye know the Southren Cross now?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Darling, what can it be that has kept you here, and so silent all this time; or did you go out and come straight back?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Decline to order him another fifty for a bloodthirsty outrage like this?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Did I say too much? ” asked Mr. Strachan, biting at a cheroot, when the magistrates were left alone.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Did I?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Did he say where he was going? ” “ No; but I heard him tell the coachman it was only a mile."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Did you see him?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Did you see the man's face?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Did you tell him how much I should like to see him before I die — to thank him?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Do you know what I used to call you in my heart when I had one?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Do you know who that was? ” said Tom's master when they were once more on their way.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Do you think that that colossal sum is beyond my means? ” “ For a man of whom you know nothing — who has no clain upon you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Do you think that that colossal sum is beyond my means? ” “ For a man of whom you know nothing — who has no clain upon you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Do you want to be alone with him?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Does he know me? ”"No."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Feel cold, Erichsen?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ For- give you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Game?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Give who it? ” roared the other.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Gone? ” chuckled the doctor.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Got no money? ” said the sergeant.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Got the time about yer, guv'nor? ” said a high, hoarse voice.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Got whom, eh?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Got whom? ” said her father, sharply.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Has Captain Blaydes arrived? ” The black eyes gleamed.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Has no- body run for brandy?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have n't you a watch?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have n't you slept? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have you forgotten your word of honour, that nobody should ever suspect what had existed between you and Erichsen?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have you got that cheque?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have you no sympathy with him — you, of all men? ” asked the last speaker in an indignant whisper.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have you seen an evening paper?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Have you so utterly forgotten your God? ” began the poor man, with the tears in his eyes.
hvd.hnp7li	“ He?
hvd.hnp7li	“ How do you know he dursn't? ” “ Too many in it; he'd be torn to little bits.
hvd.hnp7li	“ How do you know that? ” “ What you lost I found.
hvd.hnp7li	“ How many days are they out? ” asked Daintree, aiming wildly with the glass “ Ninety- nine. ” “ She could never do it!"
hvd.hnp7li	“ How many more times are you going to save my life? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Hungry? ” he chirped, giving Tom a playful push in the ribs.
hvd.hnp7li	“ I do n't understand you. ” “ Sure, an'how would you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ I have n't heard, miss; shall I see?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ I heard the thraps snorin'in their slape. ” “ Had you heard something else?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ I know all about you and your inn; who does n't?
hvd.hnp7li	“ I shall never think the same of him again; nor of myself either; but what does that matter, since I can never think the same of Tom?
hvd.hnp7li	“ I suppose you lost that cheque?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ I think you said that no power on earth would shift you out of this?
hvd.hnp7li	“ I thought he was gov'nor? ” Tom heard Roberts re- mark.
hvd.hnp7li	“ I was — sorry for you. ” “ You believed me guilty — even when you tried to save my life?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ I would rather see her in her coffin. ” “ You soon will if you prevent it! ” “ You would murder her too?
hvd.hnp7li	“ I — want them to? ” cried Bassett, blushing.
hvd.hnp7li	“ I'm afraid I — I do n't seem to have a coin in my pocket! ” “ Oh, you ’ aven't, ’ aven't you? ” “ No- I have not!
hvd.hnp7li	“ I'm known there, too! ” “ What of that? ” “ They'd make a mark of me.
hvd.hnp7li	“ I'm respited, ai n't I?
hvd.hnp7li	“ If you do n't believe in me, what's the use of giving you my solemn word?
hvd.hnp7li	“ If you get him off with his neck — what then?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ If you were to hear it was that young Erichsen- would it surprise you very much?
hvd.hnp7li	“ In half a minute. ” “ Half a what?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is anything following us? ” said Daintree once.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is he Nat Sullivan? ” said Tom to the officers as the stout young man staggered off.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is it how ye can make such as me your wedded wife?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is it no notion ye have at all?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is my friend going to make two speeches? ” said he, sarcastically.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is that the flat?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is there a single man who'll take the coves'side in the time of need?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Is this the rod in pickle for him? ” “ That's the rod in pickle.
hvd.hnp7li	“ It's manny a convict has escaped on raf's before ye, so why would n't you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Mischief, my good man? ” replied a rich deep voice, a little overladen with superior scorn.
hvd.hnp7li	“ No power, eh? ” “ Short of a file of red- coats, which you ca n't spare."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Non cuivis homini — what other bridegroom would have had such luck?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Nor his appearance?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Nor of him?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Nor yet when you gave him the newspaper, and he read you an account of the very crime with which he stands indicted?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not altogether on its merits, eh?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not at your house? ” cried Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not got any? ” cried the sergeant.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not if you'd been cleaned out as I have, by as blackguardly a dodge?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not phthisis, eh? ”-"That was it, sir!
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not swear to him? ” said Daintree, stepping for- ward.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not swear to him?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Not yet. ” “ Not his name?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Now I think you'll have no objection to giving me back that worthless cheque?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Now, in such cases, ” said Mr. Harding, feeling for another coin, “ what is done with the dead man's papers?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Now, wot's all this?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Of course, she had never given the woman a thing; but rather than have her put in prison- you see?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Oh, it's you, eh? ” he added, and seemed in doubt.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Oh, you did; all three? ” “ No; a watch- chain and a pin. ” “ A watch- chain and a pin.
hvd.hnp7li	“ One little fifty?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Or is it that you sympathise with the man who felled my son? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Pawn your watch?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Ready, Mary?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Really? ” remarked the major, wilfully unmoved.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Saddle a horse? ” “ Yes. ” “ And ride him after? ” “ Better try me. ” “ Well, so I will!
hvd.hnp7li	“ Saddle a horse? ” “ Yes. ” “ And ride him after? ” “ Better try me. ” “ Well, so I will!
hvd.hnp7li	“ Seen anything of Blaydes? ” he cried out to Claire, who started at the question, and then at her father's face.
hvd.hnp7li	“ She is in love with Blaydes! ” “ Blaydes?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Since you have made up your mind, why should I? ” “ It is only your word that I ask: your solemn word to me that you are innocent."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Slit his juggler? ” he repeated with a chuckle.
hvd.hnp7li	“ So he owes his life to you? ” said the major at last.
hvd.hnp7li	“ So you're interested in him, are you? ” cried the SEALED LIPS 183 Superintendent.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Stand by him? ” cried one.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Suppose they put me in the witness- box, what would you gain by it?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Sure an’ye've not forgotten Peggy the cook?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Surely we who have must give to you who have not, be it roof or boot?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Telling me what, my good girl? ” She was trem- bling now.
hvd.hnp7li	“ That I love?
hvd.hnp7li	“ That he should never know what I know, ” said he, “ is right enough; but why carry the thing so far?
hvd.hnp7li	“ That kid?
hvd.hnp7li	“ That would have been my look- out. ” “ Mine too, perhaps. ” “ What do you mean? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ That's never you? ” “ I wish it was n't, sir. ” “ You've left the force?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ That's never you? ” “ I wish it was n't, sir. ” “ You've left the force?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ The band you speak of. ” “ Then where's the Italian? ” “ You saw him for yourself about an hour ago!"
hvd.hnp7li	“ The fact is a solicitor is engaging counsel-"“ Then why the hell could n't you say so at first?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ The kind man! ” “ An'is n't he?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ The man that did it! ” “ Did what?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ The man who is at the bottom of all this, ” said she:"who is he?
hvd.hnp7li	“ The murderer of Captain Blaydes? ” “ No. ” “ Who then?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ The murderer of Captain Blaydes? ” “ No. ” “ Who then?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then give me his address! ” “ Tom — I can not. ” “ You can not?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then how could you tell the hour? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then if your worship will grant us a few minutes?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then suppose we turn back to your rooms, and you pay me there and now! ” “ And where are my rooms, pray?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then we might pin up this chart. ” “ What, and follow the course?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then what did it occur to you to do? ” Hookey Simpson shrugged his shoulders, as one who would rather not say.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then who is it, Claire?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then will you go?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Then you do n't mean to stop at Castle Sullivan? ” cried Tom, amazed.
hvd.hnp7li	“ This instant, eh?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Time?
hvd.hnp7li	“ To me?
hvd.hnp7li	“ To my house — my protection — my friendship? ” Horror and mortification were in the rich, strong tones, and in the flushed and swarthy face.
hvd.hnp7li	“ To return to your fare, ” said counsel; “ did you notice any valuables upon his outer person?
hvd.hnp7li	“ To the sea? ” “ An'further! ” “ My dear, how can I?
hvd.hnp7li	“ To the sea? ” “ An'further! ” “ My dear, how can I?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Tom! ” “ Miss Harding?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Too late?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Transported for life; have you ever come across his name? ” And he was spelling it when the other gave a whistle.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Unfair on the girl?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Very natural, very natural; but what if I can guess?
hvd.hnp7li	“ WE SHALL BE TOO LATE! ” “ Too late wot for? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ We can turn back — what, is n't there time?
hvd.hnp7li	“ We shall do unto them as we've all been done by. ” “ But you were never here yourself? ” “ Next door to it, ” returned Hookey Simpson.
hvd.hnp7li	“ We're just at the fork; you must have seen which way he went, and you've got to tell us. ”"And what if I refuse? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well — well?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, I'm darned: you would n't think it of'i m, now would yer?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, Jonathan, how are you? ” “ How's yourself, Jim?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, Jonathan, how are you? ” “ How's yourself, Jim?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, but what have I got to do with this?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, sir?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, well, ” said he, “ I was thinking it would never do to leave you here. ” “ Why not? ” “ You were probably heading for the sea."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, what if I did see him?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, what if I had? ” said Tom, beginning to feel sorry he had not.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well, what? ” said her companion.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well? ” said Hookey.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well? ” “ If I had told them all you said to me that very night — that very hour! ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Well?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ What about that night?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What ails you? ” cried the matron, seeing him shud- der and hang back.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What are you doing out of your room?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What are you doing with those horses? ” “ What's that to you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What are you doing with those horses? ” “ What's that to you?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What are your reasons? ” he asked at length.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What can I do for you? ” “ The honour of glancing at my card, ” said the stranger, with a bow as elaborate as his scorn.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What did I tell you as we came up to the house? ” Harding thought a little.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What did it? ”"A bullet; caught me on the funny- bone and paralysed half my hand.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What difference could it make — even supposing you believed me? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What do you mean by saying that?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What do you suppose he's do'n'at this moment?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What do you want me for?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What has he done? ” “ Him good- fellow belonging?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What has he done? ” “ Him good- fellow belonging?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What have I said?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What have you to say to that? ”.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What if I do, Mrs. Adcock?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What is it, dear? ” she asked him tenderly.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What is it, then? ” “ A sov'rin! ” And the soft Irish brogue was rich with honest satis- faction.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What is the use?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What now?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ What on earth did you mean by saying that?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ What on earth have I done? ” “ You ken weel.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What shall I do?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ What then? ” inquired Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What then? ” “ What you've got in your'and. ” “ This! ” cried Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What was it?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What ’s he been doing of? ” said the sentry, wetting his hand on his chest to cool his musket- stock.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What's about it?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What's he good for? ” “ Groom."
hvd.hnp7li	“ What's that about a watch?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ What's the use? ” he asked.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What's up now?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ What?
hvd.hnp7li	“ What? ” cried both gentlemen at once.
hvd.hnp7li	“ What?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ When are the sessions? ” asked Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Where did it come from? ” asked Peggy with the coin to a shining crevice.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Where did they move to?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Where's the dog? ” he cried.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Whereabouts?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Who are you? ” “ Name's Wyeth.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Who is the gentleman? ” “ Blaydes it seems his name is; or rather was! ” 66 Was?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Who is the gentleman? ” “ Blaydes it seems his name is; or rather was! ” 66 Was?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Who is this Captain Blaydes I hear so much about?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Who wrote them? ” asked Tom after a pause.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Whose cell is that? ” “ Nobody's now. ”"It was Greenacre's!
hvd.hnp7li	“ Whose was it? ” “ My servant's; he made her, and he moved her on each day.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Whose watch? ” “ One belonging a murdered man, ” replied Jim.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why depend upon it? ” he snapped.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why does n't somebody put a bullet through them both? ” “ Because the coves have got the pluck.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why never? ” he cried irritably.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why not get up and go inside? ” “ Why should I? ” rejoined the youth, raising eyes deep- sunken in a mass of skin and bone.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why not get up and go inside? ” “ Why should I? ” rejoined the youth, raising eyes deep- sunken in a mass of skin and bone.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why not? ” said Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why was all that? ” said Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why, Harry? ” cried Daintree.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why, bless the man, does he think he's got to choose from that lot?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why, who are you? ” cried they.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Why?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Will you swear — to me — that you are innocent? ” But Tom was gone.
hvd.hnp7li	“ Worse than Greenacre, I say. ” “ How so? ” “ Done for robbery; that there watch and diamond pin! ”"Ah!"
hvd.hnp7li	“ Wot for are you a- bringin'noo boys here for?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Yes, Erichsen? ” “ You're to keep out of it."
hvd.hnp7li	“ Yes?
hvd.hnp7li	“ Yes?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ You are going? ” she cried.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You are never going to find five — hundred- guineas? ” “ And why not?
hvd.hnp7li	“ You are never going to find five — hundred- guineas? ” “ And why not?
hvd.hnp7li	“ You do n't keep it to use yourself?
hvd.hnp7li	“ You do n't like him, then?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ You heard of the outrage the other night at Castle Sullivan? ” began Mr. Nat.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You may leave out that bit. ” “ And you could n't describe the man? ” “ Not too well.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You mean that she believed in me too? ” he asked with a mild sort of incredulity; and he saw from the other's face that she had not.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You mean your wife and family?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ You never saw the woman who took Claire's jewel- lery? ” said Nicholas Harding.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You profess some gratitude towards me, I believe? ” said Daintree, with a biting ceremony of voice and manner.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You saw the blow, Dr. Sullivan? ” “ You dare to ask me?
hvd.hnp7li	“ You saw the blow, Dr. Sullivan? ” “ You dare to ask me?
hvd.hnp7li	“ You still think it may have been manslaughter? ” “ You know what I think, ” was the reply.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You suppose I am? ” cried Daintree, looking rather queerly at Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You think I have n't the ghost of a chance?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ You will be by sundown,'says the overseer,'an'do you think we want you about the place till to- morrow, you selfish man?'
hvd.hnp7li	“ You will now, I think, allow me to proceed on my way alone?
hvd.hnp7li	“ You wo n't?"
hvd.hnp7li	“ You would have no more to do with him? ” said she very slowly.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You'll come with me, wo n't you, Peggy? ” “ Yes, Tom, if you want me. ” And a humid light was in the sweet Irish eyes.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You're never going to pay with that, Mac? ” “ An'what for no? ” “ There's the farm brand staring you in the face!
hvd.hnp7li	“ You're never going to pay with that, Mac? ” “ An'what for no? ” “ There's the farm brand staring you in the face!
hvd.hnp7li	“ You've half killed him! ” “ Half killed him? ” roared Tom.
hvd.hnp7li	“ You? ” exclaimed Tom in an altered voice.

hvd.hx6hx3	224 BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS “ Well, what of it? ” asked Mott.
hvd.hx6hx3	32 BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS “ Is there anything more you wish to know? ” asked Mrs. Missioner, rising.
hvd.hx6hx3	8O BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS “ You believe in me, do n't you? ” she murmured.
hvd.hx6hx3	A diamond has fallen over the rail. ” “ What can be the matter? ” asked a thousand women of a thousand escorts.
hvd.hx6hx3	A- 246 BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS “ Mind letting me see what it is? ” Sands shook his head slowly, decisively.
hvd.hx6hx3	And are you sure you know her thoroughly? ” Donnelly manifestly was enjoying his rôle to the utmost.
hvd.hx6hx3	And they took her in tow for that? ” The priest nodded.
hvd.hx6hx3	And this is only a- say, what the mischief is it?
hvd.hx6hx3	Ar I42 BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS “ What's wrong here? ” asked a voice at the win- dow.
hvd.hx6hx3	Are you jollying yourself with the idea that I ’m a Turkish Grand Vizier with all the genii at my command?
hvd.hx6hx3	Are you missing heirs? ” Britz and Fitch laughed.
hvd.hx6hx3	Are you really trying to clear my fiancée of all this horrible mass of false evidence which has been collected about her?
hvd.hx6hx3	Are you really, deep down inside of you, con- vinced of her innocence — are you as convinced as I am? ” A steady look was the only response.
hvd.hx6hx3	At this hour? ” came in Dorothy's child treble.
hvd.hx6hx3	BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS 23 “ You notice that — huh!—Carson? ” said Donnelly, wheeling on his mate.
hvd.hx6hx3	BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS 29 “ How can I be sure?
hvd.hx6hx3	BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS 2I3 “ You really do n't believe her innocent? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS 47 “ This one's the goods, eh? ” the detective went on.
hvd.hx6hx3	Besides, what was it the Hindoos had taken from Sands's desk?
hvd.hx6hx3	Britz, was it a man or a woman who ordered the stone? ” The detective's hand slipped into the inner pocket of his coat.
hvd.hx6hx3	Bruxton has done me several good turns. ” “ You think that square look of his is not a front, then? ” inquired the detective.
hvd.hx6hx3	Bruxton, what am I to do about that girl? ” The millionaire was visibly perplexed.
hvd.hx6hx3	But surely a young person clever enough to get away with a diamond the size of the Maharanee could n't be stupid?
hvd.hx6hx3	But what?
hvd.hx6hx3	But who was Millicent?
hvd.hx6hx3	By whom?
hvd.hx6hx3	Came so easy it was a shame to take it — eh?
hvd.hx6hx3	Can we not take it back in all its present purity?
hvd.hx6hx3	Can you guess the orders the Maharajah laid upon me when he bade me come with you? ” The Swami still maintained a dignified silence.
hvd.hx6hx3	Could it be great detec- tives wasted time on compliments, too?
hvd.hx6hx3	Could it be he was not going to clear the girl after all?
hvd.hx6hx3	Did the clubman make the sketches only to have the millionaire give them to the artisan with the order for the manufacture of a fraudulent gem?
hvd.hx6hx3	Did the management know him?
hvd.hx6hx3	Do n't you know Mrs. Missioner's husband bought it from a Maharanee, that they brought it all the way from India?
hvd.hx6hx3	Do n't you know it's the finest diamond in America? ” Griswold shook his head.
hvd.hx6hx3	Do you think I am a whole Russian Secret Service system rolled into one?
hvd.hx6hx3	Ever do anything along transmutation lines? ” Fitch, despite his anxiety for Elinor, grinned.
hvd.hx6hx3	From first to last, as the afternoon sped on, his heart asked him, “ What are you doing here?
hvd.hx6hx3	Funny how chatter zigzags, is n't it?
hvd.hx6hx3	Get me? ” Miss Holcomb “ got him"in the sense he meant.
hvd.hx6hx3	Good news? ” The detective's head was motionless.
hvd.hx6hx3	Good- looking? ” Not without influence on his ideals had he taken a post- graduate 56 BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS course among London's Gaiety girls.
hvd.hx6hx3	Government agents or river pirates? ” “ Neither, ” answered Britz, “ as you very well know, Mr. Kananda.
hvd.hx6hx3	Has the real necklace ever been abroad? ” BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS 103 “ Mrs.
hvd.hx6hx3	Has your heart turned to water? ” The Swami did not answer.
hvd.hx6hx3	He ca n't get away. ” “ Well, who's the thief? ” the Chief inquired tersely.
hvd.hx6hx3	He says he did n't know they were stolen 5* “ Who says that? ” she interrupted.
hvd.hx6hx3	He's hopelessly insane. ” “ Has he thrown no light on the case at all? ” “ Yes, some light, ” Britz admitted reluctantly.
hvd.hx6hx3	How can you stand it? ” Elinor shuddered.
hvd.hx6hx3	How could it have been made?
hvd.hx6hx3	How could there well be a league between men as antipodally dissimilar as these two — Sands and Griswold?
hvd.hx6hx3	How could they have been mistaken? ” “ Easily enough, ” said the Swami.
hvd.hx6hx3	How do we know he is not getting ready to flee with the jewels to- night?
hvd.hx6hx3	How do you know she has n’t sold them? ” “ This note » y “ Oh, I know all about that, ” laughed the Prince.
hvd.hx6hx3	How do you suppose they got it to Paris, had it duplicated, and then had the counterfeit sent back here in four weeks?
hvd.hx6hx3	How long has it been missing this time? ” “ Nobody knows, unless it be its present possessor.
hvd.hx6hx3	I called you up to tell you we had arrested the jewel thieves and — beg pardon?
hvd.hx6hx3	I did n't like the satisfaction he showed when suspicion was directed toward her. ” “ Did he seem pleased? ” inquired Fitch.
hvd.hx6hx3	I have given my life to it. ” “ Find it profitable? ” inquired the sleuth.
hvd.hx6hx3	I hope, ” she added hastily, “ you have no professional pride on that point? ” “ None whatever, ” returned the detective.
hvd.hx6hx3	I remember, too, that my East In- dian servant brought my new dress. ” “ Do you believe Miss Holcomb is the thief? ” sud- denly fired Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	I suppose you were sleeping? ”- “ I was dozing, I fear, ” smiled the girl.
hvd.hx6hx3	I thought the Maharanee was made quite recently? ” “ I do n't know how long it's been, ” the detective replied.
hvd.hx6hx3	I want your help. ” “ My help? ” A gleam of anxious inquiry darted from the doctor's eyes.
hvd.hx6hx3	IHow's that?
hvd.hx6hx3	If Sands did not know there was justification for the search, why did he take it so calmly?
hvd.hx6hx3	If Sands got Martin to make the false Maharanee diamond why did he do so?
hvd.hx6hx3	If they had n't arrested Miss Holcomb, Griswold might n't have shown his hand so easily. ” “ Have you any other evidence? ” asked the doc- tor.
hvd.hx6hx3	In them nature has wrought mas- terpieces of glory no human plagiarist can reproduce. ” “ Not even in Paris? ” inquired the visitor.
hvd.hx6hx3	Ingratel Thief 1? ” Each word was like the snap of a lash that brought a wincing start from Griswold as if a black snake whip had stung him.
hvd.hx6hx3	Is it a question of a reward? ” “ Not in that sense, ” said the Swami quickly.
hvd.hx6hx3	It's not possible you're playing with me in a case like this? ” Fitch continued.
hvd.hx6hx3	Looked good to you, did n't it?
hvd.hx6hx3	Missioner — what of her? ” she asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	Most of the ventures proved failures? ” “ You seem to know something of his business affairs, ” Mott fired back.
hvd.hx6hx3	My time is too valuable. ” “ Well, what are you going to do about these fel- lows? ” asked Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	No, I guess they took him to the other place; but what do you want to know for?
hvd.hx6hx3	Now how did it get mixed up with your trinkets? ” “ I do n't know, ” she moaned.
hvd.hx6hx3	Now, is n't it a fact, Miss Holcomb, that Griswold was the preferred suitor? ” “ I do not think so, ” she said in a low voice.
hvd.hx6hx3	Now, what do you expect of me?
hvd.hx6hx3	Now, where are those dia- monds? ” She eyed him in mild protest.
hvd.hx6hx3	Or will you content yourselves with the safer occupation of dips?
hvd.hx6hx3	Sands and Mr. Griswold are fre- quent visitors at the house of Mrs. Missioner? ” “ Both call very frequently, ” Miss Holcomb replied.
hvd.hx6hx3	Shall I have'em in here? ” Mrs. Missioner bowed and sent Blodgett to sum- mon his comrades.
hvd.hx6hx3	Sioux 2 Maybe he's an Apache? ” Mrs. Missioner smiled.
hvd.hx6hx3	So what's the use of denying it? ” “ I do deny it, I do deny it, ” she protested.
hvd.hx6hx3	That's the way I want him to remain. ” “ Who do you think did the trick? ” suddenly ques- tioned Mott.
hvd.hx6hx3	Then whose is this — the Maharanee?
hvd.hx6hx3	Then, medita- tively, “ Half a dozen, you say?
hvd.hx6hx3	This gentleman can show us the way? ” and Donnelly turned inquiringly to the footman.
hvd.hx6hx3	Turning to Gordon, he asked: “ Do you know how to run this sort of boat? ” Gordon did know.
hvd.hx6hx3	Very elevating, you know, and — well, different. ” “ Modern, Miss March? ’ ” “ It has two periods.
hvd.hx6hx3	Was Maharanee made there, too? ” 17o BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS Britz tapped a bell and looked up as a Headquarters patrolman opened the door.
hvd.hx6hx3	Was he close enough to the table to touch the necklace? ” “ I remember the incident very well, ” she replied.
hvd.hx6hx3	Was the attention they had bestowed and were undoubtedly bestowing on the widow's necklace the result merely of cupidity, or of a less sordid motive?
hvd.hx6hx3	Was there a com- pact between Sands and Griswold?
hvd.hx6hx3	Were the Easterners merely a well- organ- ized band of jewel thieves?
hvd.hx6hx3	Were you present at that brutal scene? ” “ I was. ” Fitch eyed the detective suspiciously.
hvd.hx6hx3	What I want to know is what kind of a Hindoo? ” “ I should say he was a Sepoy, ” remarked Griswold.
hvd.hx6hx3	What are you?
hvd.hx6hx3	What did you say — your jewels have been returned to you?
hvd.hx6hx3	What do you expect to get in the next four weeks? ” “ Conclusive evidence of Miss Holcomb's innocence, ” solemnly announced Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	What do you know about Bruxton Sands? ” “ I know he's all right, ” Fitch replied.
hvd.hx6hx3	What do you say, Mr. Sands? ” Sands said nothing.
hvd.hx6hx3	What do you think of yourselves, anyhow P Think you'll cut out this ‘ second story'game?
hvd.hx6hx3	What does the public amount to, anyhow 2 What's the use of talking to me about the public?
hvd.hx6hx3	What if they had reason to believe they would surely find what they sought in that room?
hvd.hx6hx3	What is she?
hvd.hx6hx3	What mattered it?
hvd.hx6hx3	What motive could there have been to despoil the widow whom both wished to marry?
hvd.hx6hx3	What was it?
hvd.hx6hx3	What were you doing here? ” A slow grin was the response.
hvd.hx6hx3	What's the use of being a multi- millionaire if you're no safer than in an eighteen- dollar flat?
hvd.hx6hx3	Where had the man got his misinformation?
hvd.hx6hx3	Where is she? ” exclaimed Mrs. Delaroche.
hvd.hx6hx3	Where's your telephone? ” Sands indicated the instrument and Britz took it up and called for 31oo Spring.
hvd.hx6hx3	Who but Miss Holcomb? ” “ I will find someone who had almost as good an opportunity, ” Britz returned confidently.
hvd.hx6hx3	Who could have most to gain by causing her arrest and conviction?
hvd.hx6hx3	Who could her early visitor be?
hvd.hx6hx3	Who helped you to undress? ” “ My maids were asleep, ” said Mrs. Missioner, “ and I called Miss Holcomb, who occupies the room next to mine.
hvd.hx6hx3	Who, then, was most likely to have placed the dia- mond in the secretary's room?
hvd.hx6hx3	Why should he have done so, unless with the idea of sub- stituting it for the real diamond?
hvd.hx6hx3	Why, Bruxton, how do we know what effect this dreadful incarceration might have upon her?
hvd.hx6hx3	Wo n't you be seated? ” “ Why, huh!—no, Miss Missioner — Mrs.
hvd.hx6hx3	Yet how should he get away?
hvd.hx6hx3	You are prepared? ” “ I am prepared. ” “ You will not stay your hand when it comes to the point? ” The Swami did not answer.
hvd.hx6hx3	You are prepared? ” “ I am prepared. ” “ You will not stay your hand when it comes to the point? ” The Swami did not answer.
hvd.hx6hx3	You heard my orders?
hvd.hx6hx3	You say you have all your jewels?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ A glorious jewel, a won- derful jewel, a queen's jewell Gone, did you say?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ A woman, eh?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And Mrs. Missioner — she prefers which one? ” “ I do n't know, ” came the prompt response.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And his name? ” inquired the detective curtly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And how, may I ask, ma'am, do you know that? ” “ I say, I have known her many years, ” said Mrs. Missioner.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And if you do, what will it mean? ” asked the Chief.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And the brethren? ” he asked angrily.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And the other servant? ” “ About a year.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And they all believe me guilty? ” she asked despairingly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And you have come straightway with the news? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ And you've withheld the information from me? ” “ The manufacturer of the stone is useless as a witness.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Anyone been inquiring for her? ” the Chief sud- denly snapped.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Anything wrong with him? ” asked Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are these all the servants? ” asked the large de- tective.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are they all there? ” asked the millionaire.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are they real? ” asked the widow.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are you afraid? ” pursued the Prince.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are you going to answer my questions? ” he blurted.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are you sure the real diamonds are gone? ” Mrs. Missioner made a gesture toward the safe and indicated the heap of false gems on the table.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Are you sure? ” asked Dorothy.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ But who had the opportunity to see the necklace a sufficient number of times and long enough to make the sketches?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ By the way, have you discovered any new evi- dence? ” he asked in a tone of unconcern.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ By whom? ” “ By — by a friend of mine, ” she replied.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Can it be you have a thought for these Western dogs when your own brothers of the faith are suffering the shame and pain in which we left them?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Choctaw P Cherokee?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Conclusive of what? ” demanded Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Did any of those present help you place it about your neck? ” “ No.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Did anybody else have the combination of the safe? ” “ One, ” responded Mrs. Missioner.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Did she make any statement on the way to Head- quarters? ” inquired the Chief.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Did you say, madam, the Maharanee diamond? ” “ Yes, ” she answered, and waves of pain rippled across her face.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do n’t you really know, Mr. Gris- WOld P ” “ Know what, Miss March? ” asked the clubman.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do n’t you see you have got to tell it to square your- Self? ”- “ What do you mean, sir? ” she asked with a pretty show of indignation.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do n’t you see you have got to tell it to square your- Self? ”- “ What do you mean, sir? ” she asked with a pretty show of indignation.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do you ever wear dia- monds? ” he asked mysteriously.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do you happen to know anything of his financial affairs? ” asked the prosecutor.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do you know what salary he is receiving? ” “ He gets$ 10,000 a year, ” the attorney informed him.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Do you wish to ask Miss Holcomb any further questions? ” Fitch asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Does n't he recall who ordered the duplicate? ” the prosecutor asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Ever have a whack at the philoso- pher's stone?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Ever hear of such a thing as perspective, de- tective? ” he asked condescendingly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Ever try to make an elixir of youth? ” inquired the detective.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ For God's sake, man, you're not going to bring her down here? ” “ That's just what I'm going to do, Mr. Griswold, ” replied Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Gone, eh? ” said Fitch, in an undertone.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Got a patient here, Larry? ” they asked him jokingly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Got to finish a contract on time? ” the Head- quarters man pursued.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Has Donnelly or Carson reported anything new? ” he inquired.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Have I not told you, madam, the jewels were stolen? ” Thrills were shooting through the bathrobe squad at the rate of a hundred a minute.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Have n't got the case quite clear in your mind? ” he questioned.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Have the police discovered no clew to the theft? ” “ I have n't heard a word from them, ” Dr. Fitch said.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Have you seen the afternoon papers? ” “ No, ” the prosecutor replied.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Have you thought of anything better to do? ” he returned.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ He tells me you induced Mott to postpone it for a month? ’ ” “ That is true, ” the detective responded.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Headquarters? ” he asked over the wire.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ His name? ” she returned wonderingly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How can they think me capable of it? ” The Chief opened a drawer of his desk and brought forth the accusing diamond.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How could it be done?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How did you ever think of it? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How did you get the letters? ” he asked brusquely.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How do you do, doctor? ” he said.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How do you know that, Mr. Sands? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How does this affect you? ” she asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How long has the footman been in your employ? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How long has your maid been away? ” “ About a month, ” the widow told him.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ How? ” quickly asked Dr. Fitch.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ I can not bear any longer the idea of her suffering in that dread- ful place. ” “ Well, what are we going to do about it? ” asked Sands.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ I guess you'll admit you're on the wrong lay? ” he jeered.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ I suppose your work is purely scientific? ” “ It is more than science, ” answered Martin.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ I think, however, ” he said, “ I shall spare a few minutes to read that chap's — what did he call it, story?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is Mrs. Missioner at home? ” asked Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is anybody in? ” Silence as heavy and oppressive as the darkness be- yond the radiance of his little pocket lamp answered him again.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is that as far as you've arrived?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is that your property, madam? ” asked the house detective.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is there evidence to convict? ” he asked inter- estedly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is this the man who robbed you, madam? ” asked one of the two men who had caught the burglar.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Is thy servant a dog or the son of a dog? ” he said under his breath menacingly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ It is Curtis Griswold, is n't it? ” said the Head- quarters man incisively.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ It ’s about up to us to do a little searching now, is n't it? ” asked Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ It's humiliating, is n't it? ” she said naively.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ MORE THAN TWO MILLIONS FOR TUBERCULOSIS CURE* “ What has that to do with the diamond robbery? ” Mott inquired.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ May I examine the safe? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ May I go to the jail and assure her of my belief in her? ” she asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ May I inform Mrs. Missioner of the contents of the letters? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ May I speak with Miss Holcomb in private a few moments? ” asked the young man into whose arms she had fallen.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ My dear old chap, ” said the Prince, “ is it likely we would go to such extraordinary lengths without being most painstaking in that respect?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Nothing more do- ing in the artillery line. ” “ That was your last cartridge? ” Britz bent his head affirmatively.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Now, then, you dusky beauties, suppose you come along with me. ” “ Going to carry them? ” asked Sands.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Oh, you have?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ One of the best ever. ” “ Known him long? ” “ Several years.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Or, perhaps, I had better tell it to you? ” An inquiring look was her reply.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Perhaps if you make an effort, you can recall something about the- the prisoner's past, Mrs. Missioner? ” The pad was in his hand.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Pretty busy man, eh? ” said Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Remain here? ” she murmured questioningly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Say, ” said Fitch, “ you know something? ” Britz nodded.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Sepoy — huh? ” Donnelly turned to Carson.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ She ca n't believe I did it? ” she moaned.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Since your husband gave you a history of the stone, surely you can not doubt its authen- ticity? ” “ Oh, of course not, ” said the widow.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Something else, eh? ” asked Britz.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Something important?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Still working on that line? ” inquired Manning, permitting himself the luxury of a slightly sarcastic inflection.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Suppose she declines? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Takes it pretty bad, eh? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ The question is, where are they now? ” “ The woman has them, ” returned the scholar.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ The search was thorough? ” asked the scholar.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Then how was the substitution made? ” queried the other.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Then you, too, believe she is guilty? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Then, ” said Mrs. Missioner at last, in a low, tense tone, “ this is — this is y?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ There is something more you wish to know? ” She was not in the mood for discussion of the de- tective's quest this evening.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ There will be nothing about this interview in ‘ The Times. ’ ” “ No? ” returned Kananda.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Therefore, why should n't the lonely, starving Miss Vincent enjoy gay little dinners and, perhaps, gayer little suppers with him?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Think we had better look upstairs? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Van- ished 1''“ And you did not get it? ” “ Swami, I did not.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Was it Dr. Fitch who called to see the prisoner in the Missioner diamond robbery? ” he asked the door- IIlail.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Well, Mr. Britz? ” This challengingly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Well, you're one of her employés, ai n't you? ” growled Donnelly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What about yourself?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What are you going to do? ” asked the sleuth, visibly anxious.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What are your orders? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What can I do for you?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What can I do for you? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What causes you to suspect him? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What did the stranger want with it? ” demanded the detective.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What did you do with those stones? ” blurted the Chief.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What do you know about that? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What do you make of it? ” he snapped.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What do you think of it, Britz? ” asked Man- ning.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What do you value them at? ” “ Half a million dollars. ” An appreciative “ Huh! ” broke from Donnelly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What does all this mean? ” he said to Carson, ig- noring the other.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What has it done for us?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What have you discovered? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What is it, then, you wish? ” she asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What of it? ” he inquired.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What thief? ” she asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What time are you going to arraign her? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What time will I see you? ” asked Rawson.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What were you doing in Maiden Lane the other day? ” asked Donnelly sharply.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What's doing in this case anyhow? ” suddenly flashed Griswold.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What's the objection? ” “ It is not anything that can possibly interest you, ” returned the millionaire.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ What's the row, your reverence? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ When I began my investigation, I was firmly convinced of your in- nocence — ” “ And now? ” interrupted Dr. Fitch.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ When did you miss them? ” Again the widow recited the incident of the opera box.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ When was that? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Where are you going? ” asked Fitch.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Where are you going? ” asked the physician.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Where is the jewel? ” he asked sternly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Where were the jewels stolen from? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Which rooms? ” Mrs. Missioner was not at all pleased.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Who are you? ” gruffly demanded Donnelly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Who knows, holy man? ” replied the visitor.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Who was in the party? ” Mrs. Missioner told him.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Who- huh! — do you suspect? ” There seemed to be a sort of astigmatism in his breathing.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Why not a private detective? ” Griswold sug- 18 BRITZ, OF HEADQUARTERS gested.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Why should you be at such pains to find and restore the dia- mond?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Why, he is devoted to me. ” “ So? ” The Swami's eyebrows went up.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Why? ” demanded Manning.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Will you confess? ” the Chief repeated with added menace.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You are sure this is the place? ” asked the de- tective.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You do n't expect to find your diamond there? ” inquired Griswold amazedly.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You do n't think it possible he also is implicated in the theft? ” he asked.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You do n’t mean to hint that you believe Miss Holcomb innocent? ” flashed Griswold.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You have an inventory, of course? ” asked Sands.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You know nothing of her engagement to a Har- vard undergraduate, then? ” he persisted.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You mean she has never indicated her prefer- ence to you?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You sent, huh, for us, Chief? ” “ Yes, ” said Manning.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You surely do n't suspect either of them? ” re- turned Mrs. Missioner.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You will never desert me? ” she murmured grate- fully.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You wish to see me? ” she inquired.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You wished to see me? ” inquired Dorothy.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You wo n't mind if I peep in the paper, young lady?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ You would n't use me as a tool to build up a case against that girl?
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Your car is downstairs? ” he inquired.
hvd.hx6hx3	“ Your marvelous gems are not proof against imita- tion? ” he said inquiringly.

mdp.39015002717935	And Halsey?
mdp.39015002717935	And Mr. Arnold Armstrong came there, while you were talking?
mdp.39015002717935	And he brought it?
mdp.39015002717935	And he knew who the tenants were?
mdp.39015002717935	And our ghost? mdp.39015002717935 And so you showed it to Sam, at the club, and asked him if he knew any one who owned such a link, and Sam said — what?"
mdp.39015002717935	And tell me this: has your firm made any plans for a house recently, for a Doctor Walker, at Casanova?
mdp.39015002717935	And the broken china — in the basket?
mdp.39015002717935	And then?
mdp.39015002717935	And what did you say?
mdp.39015002717935	And when she went back, it was to get — the tele- gram?
mdp.39015002717935	And you are still going to stay?
mdp.39015002717935	And you never thought then that the intruder who came later that night might be a woman — the woman, in fact, whom you saw on the veranda?
mdp.39015002717935	And you think Halsey helped him to escape?
mdp.39015002717935	And you think Louise knows something?
mdp.39015002717935	And you?
mdp.39015002717935	And — after that,Mr. Jamieson went on,"you went directly to bed?"
mdp.39015002717935	And — did you see a man who limped?
mdp.39015002717935	And — this thing to- night?
mdp.39015002717935	Another thing, Halsey,I said,"have you ever heard Louise mention a woman named Carrington, Nina Carrington?"
mdp.39015002717935	But the man who did it — he would be known?
mdp.39015002717935	But the motive?
mdp.39015002717935	But what could have done it?
mdp.39015002717935	But when the bonds are offered for sale, Halsey, wo n't the thief be detected at once?
mdp.39015002717935	Can you tell me when these intrusions occurred, and what the purpose seemed to be? mdp.39015002717935 Car-- 154 THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE rington?
mdp.39015002717935	Carrington?
mdp.39015002717935	Could n't you stop him, Halsey? mdp.39015002717935 Did he ask for Halsey?"
mdp.39015002717935	Did he chase you out of the house and back again?
mdp.39015002717935	Did he — not meet you?
mdp.39015002717935	Did n't he say anything else you could under- stand?
mdp.39015002717935	Did n't you sleep last night?
mdp.39015002717935	Did they go toward the club?
mdp.39015002717935	Did you ever long, and long, for money — money to use without question, money that no one would take you to task about? mdp.39015002717935 Did you have two cups of coffee at your dinner?"
mdp.39015002717935	Did you help with that?
mdp.39015002717935	Did you know Mrs. Armstrong and Louise are in the village?
mdp.39015002717935	Did you know of this?
mdp.39015002717935	Did you notice on the six- o'clock train any person — any man — who limped a little?
mdp.39015002717935	Do you know at what time they left?
mdp.39015002717935	Do you know what I believe?
mdp.39015002717935	Do you know where he went? mdp.39015002717935 Do you suppose,"Gertrude asked doubtfully,"that she really meant that blanket for Thomas?"
mdp.39015002717935	Doctor,I asked at a venture,"have you ever heard of a child named Lucien Wallace?"
mdp.39015002717935	Doctor,I asked,"is there any one in the neigh- borhood named Carrington?
mdp.39015002717935	Five children, has n't she?
mdp.39015002717935	Flinders?
mdp.39015002717935	For how long?
mdp.39015002717935	Ger- trude, when you brought down a revolver that night for Jack to take with him, what one did you bring? mdp.39015002717935 Going to build that house at Rock View?"
mdp.39015002717935	Good gracious, Aunt Ray,she exclaimed,"what is the matter?"
mdp.39015002717935	Halsey,I asked gravely, leaning forward,"have you the slightest suspicion who killed Arnold Arm- strong?
mdp.39015002717935	Halsey,I said when he sauntered in,"is there a policeman in Casanova?"
mdp.39015002717935	Halsey?
mdp.39015002717935	Has Mr. Bailey gone back to the city,I demand- ed,"or to the club?"
mdp.39015002717935	Has she been informed of this — double bereave- ment?
mdp.39015002717935	Have n't you a thumb- print, too?
mdp.39015002717935	He had not been living with the family for some years, I believe?
mdp.39015002717935	He is not — dead?
mdp.39015002717935	He was here yesterday evening, I believe?
mdp.39015002717935	He was sober?
mdp.39015002717935	How did you hear it?
mdp.39015002717935	How did you know the watch?
mdp.39015002717935	How is your patient?
mdp.39015002717935	How long did he stay?
mdp.39015002717935	How long did sne stay?
mdp.39015002717935	How long has Lucien been here?
mdp.39015002717935	I — I did not leave the billiard- room at once —"Why?
mdp.39015002717935	In cash?
mdp.39015002717935	In what part?
mdp.39015002717935	Is King's a children's outfitting place?
mdp.39015002717935	Is everything — right?
mdp.39015002717935	Is he efficient? mdp.39015002717935 Is n't it something that we could attend to instead?"
mdp.39015002717935	Is that the horse's name?
mdp.39015002717935	Is that you, Liddy?
mdp.39015002717935	Is the gentleman down in the town?
mdp.39015002717935	Is there any one you can think of who could be relied on to watch the outside of the house to- night?
mdp.39015002717935	Is there anything new?
mdp.39015002717935	Is this one of the servants'blankets, Mrs. Wat- son?
mdp.39015002717935	It's bad enough, is n't it? mdp.39015002717935 Leaving Mr. Bailey alone in the billiard- room?"
mdp.39015002717935	Liddy,I said sternly,"did you breathe a word about everything not being right here?"
mdp.39015002717935	Lucien Wallace?
mdp.39015002717935	Miss Innes, has it occurred to you that Mr. Bailey might know some- thing of this?
mdp.39015002717935	Miss Innes,Mr. Jamieson was saying,"in the last three days, have you seen a — any suspicious, figures around the grounds?
mdp.39015002717935	Miss Innes,he said quickly,"will you come with me and light the east corridor?
mdp.39015002717935	Miss Innes,he said, taking off his hat,"do you know where Alex, the gardener, is?"
mdp.39015002717935	Miss Innes,he said,"I am in a peculiar position; I understand your attitude, of course; but — do you think you are wise?
mdp.39015002717935	Mr. Bailey did not see him on his way across the lawn?
mdp.39015002717935	Mr. Jamieson, did you ever think that Paul Arm- strong might not have died a natural death?
mdp.39015002717935	Mr. Jamieson, do you know what your words imply? mdp.39015002717935 Mrs. Watson,"I said severely,"will you be so good as to explain this rather unusual occurrence?"
mdp.39015002717935	No news?
mdp.39015002717935	Nobody hurt, is there?
mdp.39015002717935	Not any member of the family?
mdp.39015002717935	Oh, Halsey, what can he do now?
mdp.39015002717935	Oh, Halsey, where have you been?
mdp.39015002717935	Riggs,I asked suddenly,"did you get into this house a day or two after I took it, at night?"
mdp.39015002717935	Somebody — had it?
mdp.39015002717935	Tell me everything, wo n't you, Halsey?
mdp.39015002717935	That is — unless — you did n't see any one cross- ing the lawn or skulking around the house, did you?
mdp.39015002717935	The family consists of yourself alone, Miss Innes?
mdp.39015002717935	The what?
mdp.39015002717935	Then it would be unlikely that he came here last night to get possession of anything belonging to him?
mdp.39015002717935	Then why did he leave at all?
mdp.39015002717935	Then you did n't lock the laundry last night?
mdp.39015002717935	Then you know nothing of Mr. Armstrong's movements after he left the house?

mdp.39015002717935	You say there have been intruders in the house?

mdp.39015002717935	But what?

mdp.39015002717935	Could it have been Thomas?
mdp.39015002717935	Did Louise and her mother know of the shameful and wicked deception?
mdp.39015002717935	Did any one come out here yesterday to repair the telephone, and examine the wires on the roof?"
mdp.39015002717935	Did either of them know where Halsey was, or what had happened to him?

mdp.39015002717935	If any such case comes to you, will it be too much trouble for you to let me know?"
mdp.39015002717935	If either he or Jack Bailey had heard an intruder in the house and shot him — as they might have been justified in doing — why had they run away?
mdp.39015002717935	If it had not been the murdered man who had entered the house that night, who had it been?
mdp.39015002717935	If it was she who came here as Mattie Bliss, what did she tell Halsey that sent him racing to Doctor Walker's, and then to Miss Arm- strong?

mdp.39015002717935	Is it likely I would kill her brother?"
mdp.39015002717935	Is it — because there is some one else?"
mdp.39015002717935	Is n't he here?"
mdp.39015002717935	Is n't that the act of an innocent man?"
mdp.39015002717935	Is she — is she very bad, Mis'Innes?"
mdp.39015002717935	Is that you, Thomas?

mdp.39015002717935	Or a fourth, the time Mr. Jamieson had locked.some one in the clothes chute?
mdp.39015002717935	Or perhaps it's the one the milk- boy heard: a tramp washing a dirty shirt, pre- sumably bloody, in the creek below the bridge?"

mdp.39015002717935	Then it was decided that — that they should both go away —""Ca n't you be more explicit?"

hvd.hx5feh	Do n't you?
hvd.hx5feh	Do they expect us to back down?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you feel pretty certain of having Grell under arrest by that time? hvd.hx5feh Do you know Sir Hilary Thornton?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know this writing?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you mean to say Grell is not dead?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you mean to say that Grell has been here — here to- day?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you think that I am a murderess? hvd.hx5feh Er — won't you sit down?"
hvd.hx5feh	For the matter of that, what are you doing?
hvd.hx5feh	Fred Trevelyan? hvd.hx5feh Fred who?"
hvd.hx5feh	From Liverpool?
hvd.hx5feh	From the colonies, I suppose, Mr. Maxwell? hvd.hx5feh Got a minute to spare?"
hvd.hx5feh	Had a cold night?
hvd.hx5feh	Have a cigar? hvd.hx5feh Have you been looking at blue pencils to- day?"
hvd.hx5feh	Have you carried the case any further?
hvd.hx5feh	Have you got that down, Green? hvd.hx5feh Have you seen a man call over the road lately?"
hvd.hx5feh	Have you seen any of these ladies before? hvd.hx5feh Have you seen the Wire this morning?"
hvd.hx5feh	He gave no hint of where he was going when he left you?
hvd.hx5feh	Honour?
hvd.hx5feh	How are you, Eden?
hvd.hx5feh	How are you? hvd.hx5feh How did it happen?"
hvd.hx5feh	How did you get his finger- prints if he was never convicted?
hvd.hx5feh	How do they come in your posses- sion?
hvd.hx5feh	How do you do, Mr. Grell? hvd.hx5feh How long have you known this?
hvd.hx5feh	How long was she in there?
hvd.hx5feh	How?' hvd.hx5feh I have an elementary idea that to unravel them 163 164 THE GRELL MYSTERY you work from the most frequently recurring letter; E, is n't it?"
hvd.hx5feh	I'm not a mug, am I? hvd.hx5feh If I do n't see you after we've bagged him I'd better charge him with housebreaking, I suppose?"
hvd.hx5feh	If I do, will it mean that you will arrest Grell for murder?
hvd.hx5feh	In fact, you pretended to have little acquaintance with English?
hvd.hx5feh	In what way?
hvd.hx5feh	Is he there? hvd.hx5feh Is that Mr. Foyle?
hvd.hx5feh	Is there anything fresh for me?
hvd.hx5feh	Is there some one else in this job?
hvd.hx5feh	Is this man — this gentleman from the Yard?
hvd.hx5feh	It was a woman, then?
hvd.hx5feh	Me?
hvd.hx5feh	Mr. Jerrold, ca n't we settle this without quarrel- ling? hvd.hx5feh Mr. Malley, will you stay with this gentleman for five minutes?
hvd.hx5feh	Murder?
hvd.hx5feh	New thing for you to come all the way to the East End to take charge of a gambling raid, is n't it?
hvd.hx5feh	Now, sir, will you board her with me? hvd.hx5feh Now, what about the letter?"
hvd.hx5feh	Now, what the devil does she mean by that?
hvd.hx5feh	Now, when are you going down to Grave Street again? hvd.hx5feh Oh, play the game, guv'nor.. You are n't going to have that raided after what I've done for you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Oh, that is it?
hvd.hx5feh	Out on the Ports- mouth Road, I suppose?
hvd.hx5feh	Pretty toy, is n't it?
hvd.hx5feh	Queer thing, is n't it?
hvd.hx5feh	Really? hvd.hx5feh Really?
hvd.hx5feh	Shall I read it aloud?
hvd.hx5feh	Shall I tell Lady Eileen you called, sir?
hvd.hx5feh	Shall we be plain with one another?
hvd.hx5feh	Shall we leave it till to- night, sir? hvd.hx5feh She?"
hvd.hx5feh	So I'm on my defence, then?
hvd.hx5feh	So he sent a wire from Liverpool, did he? hvd.hx5feh So that advertisement was the key to a cipher?
hvd.hx5feh	So that's the lay, is it?
hvd.hx5feh	So you let this man Ivan go? hvd.hx5feh So you're the cab- driver we're looking for, are you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Suppose it is because since I left you this morning, Ivan Abramovitch has made a full statement to me?
hvd.hx5feh	Tell me if your father signed the cheque you cashed, or whether you put his signature to it yourself?
hvd.hx5feh	That so?
hvd.hx5feh	That would n't be of much use, would it?
hvd.hx5feh	That you, sir? hvd.hx5feh That's done with fifty- four cards to the pack, is n't it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Then you can tell me how to read it?
hvd.hx5feh	To see me alone?
hvd.hx5feh	Waiting to see me? hvd.hx5feh Was Sir Ralph Fairfield in?"
hvd.hx5feh	Waverley?
hvd.hx5feh	Well, and if I did?
hvd.hx5feh	Well, what about it? hvd.hx5feh Well?"
hvd.hx5feh	Well?
hvd.hx5feh	Well?
hvd.hx5feh	Well?
hvd.hx5feh	Well?
hvd.hx5feh	Well?
hvd.hx5feh	What 232 THE GRELL MYSTERY happened? hvd.hx5feh What about her?"
hvd.hx5feh	What are you hinting at?
hvd.hx5feh	What can I do for you, Lady Eileen?
hvd.hx5feh	What did she want?
hvd.hx5feh	What do I get?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you make of it, Green?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you make of the infernal thing?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you propose to do?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you say, Sir Ralph? hvd.hx5feh What do you want?"
hvd.hx5feh	What has brought you here so early? hvd.hx5feh What is it?"
hvd.hx5feh	What is it?
hvd.hx5feh	What is that to do with you? hvd.hx5feh What other woman?"
hvd.hx5feh	What reason should there be?
hvd.hx5feh	What was her name? hvd.hx5feh What was the name of the shop?"
hvd.hx5feh	What was the number mentioned in your adver- tisement?
hvd.hx5feh	What was the number of the cab?
hvd.hx5feh	What's all this?
hvd.hx5feh	What's on?
hvd.hx5feh	What's that to do with me?
hvd.hx5feh	What's the ad- dress of this gambling- joint where you first met him?
hvd.hx5feh	What's the use of chucking it at this time o'night? hvd.hx5feh When did you last see Goldenburg?"
hvd.hx5feh	Where did you get that?
hvd.hx5feh	Where did you get this?
hvd.hx5feh	Where did you get'em?
hvd.hx5feh	Where is he?
hvd.hx5feh	Where is it?
hvd.hx5feh	Where is she? hvd.hx5feh Where is the butler?
hvd.hx5feh	Where's Ivan? — Russian, I suppose, by the name? hvd.hx5feh Where's Ivan? — Russian, I suppose, by the name?
hvd.hx5feh	Which room is he in?
hvd.hx5feh	Who have you fixed your suspicions on?
hvd.hx5feh	Who was she?
hvd.hx5feh	Who's he?
hvd.hx5feh	Why did n't she call out?
hvd.hx5feh	Why did n't you say why you brought me here?
hvd.hx5feh	Why not? hvd.hx5feh Why should I be telling you if you was n't?
hvd.hx5feh	Why — forgive me, Bob — why not say that you are gone out to keep an appointment?
hvd.hx5feh	Why?
hvd.hx5feh	Why?
hvd.hx5feh	Will you come with me?
hvd.hx5feh	Will you kindly hold out your hands?
hvd.hx5feh	Will you sign that, please? hvd.hx5feh Will you tell me if you had any visitors on the evening of the murder?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you use it if I do?
hvd.hx5feh	Will you wait for her, or shall I?
hvd.hx5feh	With mine? hvd.hx5feh Without my knowledge?"
hvd.hx5feh	Wo n't it cut this short if I admit that I killed Goldenburg? hvd.hx5feh Wo n't you sit down, Mr. Grell?
hvd.hx5feh	Yankee, eh?
hvd.hx5feh	Yes, then?
hvd.hx5feh	You admit you are Ivan, then?
hvd.hx5feh	You are about to make an arrest?
hvd.hx5feh	You ask me that?
hvd.hx5feh	You do n't say so?
hvd.hx5feh	You fully understand?
hvd.hx5feh	You have not found him, then?
hvd.hx5feh	You nearly arrested him?
hvd.hx5feh	You realise that you are making a very grave ac- cusation, Lady Eileen?
hvd.hx5feh	You really think I killed that man?
hvd.hx5feh	You say that Bob asked you to lie to me?
hvd.hx5feh	You see the last train through, I suppose?
hvd.hx5feh	You still think that Grell had a hand in it?
hvd.hx5feh	You think she really meant to kill me?
hvd.hx5feh	You think we shall catch one man by advertising for another?
hvd.hx5feh	You'll charge him with the murder directly you reach town, I suppose?
hvd.hx5feh	You're William White?
hvd.hx5feh	You're still convinced that Grell is guilty?
hvd.hx5feh	You've been after Lady Eileen, have n't you? hvd.hx5feh You, Sir Ralph?"
hvd.hx5feh	'How did I get here?'
hvd.hx5feh	'Is the thing they accuse you of true?'
hvd.hx5feh	'Is there no other way it can be put a stop to?'
hvd.hx5feh	'Now, tell me, my boy,'I said,'what did you do with the money you stole from your father on such and such a date?'
hvd.hx5feh	'Struth; what did you want to fetch us out for at all?
hvd.hx5feh	'What can I do?'
hvd.hx5feh	192 THE GRELL MYSTERY"Wo n't you try one of mine?"
hvd.hx5feh	6 6 Am I?'
hvd.hx5feh
hvd.hx5feh	And Lola — where THE GRELL MYSTERY 315 does Lola stand?
hvd.hx5feh	And then, more alertly,"Is he still on the telephone?
hvd.hx5feh	And then, more seriously:"How far is it to this place?
hvd.hx5feh	And you, Mr. Green?
hvd.hx5feh	Any of you boys know the lady?"
hvd.hx5feh	Are you coming back?"
hvd.hx5feh	Are you so ready to judge hastily again?"
hvd.hx5feh	As I was saying, what with these'ere murders and things""Have they shut the Grange up, or is there still some one living there?"
hvd.hx5feh	As he crossed the footway of Hunger- ford Bridge, a biting wind swept up the river and he THE GRELL MYSTERY 295 this way?
hvd.hx5feh	Attempt to murder?"
hvd.hx5feh	Besides, she asked herself, what had she to fear?
hvd.hx5feh	Besides, where is the motive?"
hvd.hx5feh	Bob is dead? ” Her hair had fallen about her shoulders, and, beau- tiful in her grief, she inspired the man with almost supernatural awe.
hvd.hx5feh	Business good?
hvd.hx5feh	But if you like to lose sight of me when we reach Liverpool""Well?"
hvd.hx5feh	But the finger- prints on the warning?"
hvd.hx5feh	By the way, may I ask your name?"
hvd.hx5feh	By the way, sergeant, do you know whose estate we're on?"
hvd.hx5feh	By the way, sir, what do you think of Sir Ralph?"
hvd.hx5feh	By the way, we understand that that dagger had belonged to Harry Goldenburg — how came it to be lying about your room?"
hvd.hx5feh	Ca n't you see, Ivan came out and that Waverley never had time to give the tip to his man, but followed him straight away?
hvd.hx5feh	Can I give him any message?
hvd.hx5feh	Can yon let me have a pen and some paper?"
hvd.hx5feh	Can you explain?"
hvd.hx5feh	Can you find your own way out?"
hvd.hx5feh	Can you let him have, say, five hundred pounds at once?"
hvd.hx5feh	Can you prove where you were be- 114 THE GRELL MYSTERY tween ten o'clock, when you left the Palatial Hotel, and midnight on that date?"
hvd.hx5feh	Can you suggest any steps we can take?"
hvd.hx5feh	Care to see the present I'm giving her to- morrow?
hvd.hx5feh	Could I do less when it came to my turn?
hvd.hx5feh	Could n't you have dropped a hint, Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Could n't you have dropped on'em before?"
hvd.hx5feh	Dalehurst Grange or something?
hvd.hx5feh	Did he tell you that?"
hvd.hx5feh	Did n't you think I could be trusted for fair does over the stuff inside?
hvd.hx5feh	Did n't you think he was dead?"
hvd.hx5feh	Did she say where she was going?
hvd.hx5feh	Did you speak to him?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do detectives often make mistakes?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do his finger- prints agree?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you follow?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know Goldenburg or any of his pals?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know I am the Princess Petrovska?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know if he left you to keep an appoint- ment?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know that there are people who would not stick at murder to get a thing like that?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know when I shall get a message?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you know why?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you mind answering the telephone if I'm rung up by any one?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you object to me having a blow on the river?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you remember the Mighton Grange case?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you still deny that you visited Mr. Grell's house on the night that the murder took place?
hvd.hx5feh	Do you think he'll be able to swim across the river, Wrington?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you think it is fear for myself that has driven me into hiding?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you think that wise?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you think you'll be able to manage alone?"
hvd.hx5feh	Do you think your smooth- faced hypoc- risy deceives me now?
hvd.hx5feh	Does n't it appear a fair assumption that he might have taken steps to arrange the presence of the person most interested, next to yourself?
hvd.hx5feh	Even if he were a de- tective, what had she to fear?
hvd.hx5feh	Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Foyle?"
hvd.hx5feh	Give me a hand here, will you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Going to the big fight?"
hvd.hx5feh	Goldenburg was blackmailing you, eh?
hvd.hx5feh	Good God, man,'he cried,'why did you let them leave it here?
hvd.hx5feh	Green?"
hvd.hx5feh	Grell was his name, was n't it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Grell?"
hvd.hx5feh	Grell?"
hvd.hx5feh	Had he done right?
hvd.hx5feh	Had the man followed her, or was it a mere coincidence?
hvd.hx5feh	Had the river given up its secret?
hvd.hx5feh	Had the two managed to communicate?
hvd.hx5feh	Has Bob repented of his bargain and sent you to call it off at the last moment?"
hvd.hx5feh	Has he got any idea of what we're on?"
hvd.hx5feh	Have you any knowl- edge of ciphers?"
hvd.hx5feh	Have you any of your own?
hvd.hx5feh	Have you bought him a typewriter lately?"
hvd.hx5feh	Have you got the twirls?"
hvd.hx5feh	He is n't just guessing?
hvd.hx5feh	How are you, Mr. Foyle?
hvd.hx5feh	How dare you molest me?'
hvd.hx5feh	How did he take it?"
hvd.hx5feh	How did you know?"
hvd.hx5feh	How do you account for it?"
hvd.hx5feh	How do you propose to find him?"
hvd.hx5feh	How do you regard the burnt paper?
hvd.hx5feh	How had he come- to be involved in an affair that looked so black against him?
hvd.hx5feh	How had his own feelings towards Eileen influenced him in his decision not to help the man who had been his friend?
hvd.hx5feh	How have you got on?"
hvd.hx5feh	How long have I been lying here?"
hvd.hx5feh	How long was this chap in with your master?"
hvd.hx5feh	How many people are there in this house?"
hvd.hx5feh	How would he break through his silence?
hvd.hx5feh	How would she receive him if he visited her unexpectedly with Foyle?
hvd.hx5feh	How would she take it?
hvd.hx5feh	I suppose you made no suggestion to him?"
hvd.hx5feh	I suppose you never saw him?"
hvd.hx5feh	If I could help you I s'pose you'd drop this case?"
hvd.hx5feh	If you have no other way of obtaining money, will you try to get an open cheque from your father?
hvd.hx5feh	If you'd been a minute or two later, you'd"THE GRELL MYSTERY 139"Why talk of these unpleasant things, Freddy?"
hvd.hx5feh	If you've made a mistake, then why not now?"
hvd.hx5feh	Is any one keeping an eye on the place for Ike?"
hvd.hx5feh	Is he ill- dead? ” Sir Ralph choked over his reply.
hvd.hx5feh	Is it important?"
hvd.hx5feh	Is it not plausible to suppose that he is an accessory either before or after the fact?"
hvd.hx5feh	Is it safe?
hvd.hx5feh	Is she a widow?"
hvd.hx5feh	Is that you, dear?
hvd.hx5feh	Is the Princess Petrovska there?
hvd.hx5feh	Is the man who says that to be relied on?
hvd.hx5feh	Is there anything on?"
hvd.hx5feh	It was all very well to be"in with"the police; but suppose their plans mis- carried?
hvd.hx5feh	It will pay you to behave yourselves — you over there, put that knife away, do you hear?"
hvd.hx5feh	Jerrold?"
hvd.hx5feh	Left last night at ten o'clock?
hvd.hx5feh	Let me have a little graphite, will you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Let me in, wo n't you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Maybe he had letters which you would n't have liked Lady Eileen to see — what?"
hvd.hx5feh	My bankers?"
hvd.hx5feh	Need I go over them?
hvd.hx5feh	Nobody hurt much, I suppose?"
hvd.hx5feh	Now we are working together- are we not?"
hvd.hx5feh	Now, are you willing to have your statement taken down by a shorthand writer — so far as it refers to events in London?"
hvd.hx5feh	Now, if she was not the veiled woman who came later, who was?
hvd.hx5feh	Only you'll have to leave the Palatial to- night, Jimmy — to- night, do you understand?
hvd.hx5feh	Open the door, ca n't you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Say I'm here, but I'm frightfully busy clearing up some business matters, will you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Shall I put him through?"
hvd.hx5feh	Shall I ring through?"
hvd.hx5feh	Shall I tell his Grace?"
hvd.hx5feh	Shall I write out an exact account for you?"
hvd.hx5feh	She THE GRELL MYSTERY 281"You — know — that?"
hvd.hx5feh	Should he throw in his lot with Foyle and assist in bringing Grell within the reach of the law?
hvd.hx5feh	Still picking flowers?"
hvd.hx5feh	Suppose Grell had paid a visit to Fairfield and the man had recognised him?
hvd.hx5feh	Suppose Red Ike and his unknown friends got to know that the"double cross"was being put on them?
hvd.hx5feh	Suppose she told all she knew?
hvd.hx5feh	THE GRELL MYSTERY 197 What's wrong?"
hvd.hx5feh	THE GRELL MYSTERY 305 finger- prints on the dagger with which Goldenburg was killed, eh?"
hvd.hx5feh	That person must have been Lady Eileen — therefore she must have been the veiled woman — you see?
hvd.hx5feh	That the Palatial?
hvd.hx5feh	That was how we first became acquainted. ” “ That would be almost five years ago?"
hvd.hx5feh	The detective's face was full of ingenuous surprise as he answered — “ Did n’t I?
hvd.hx5feh	The question was, who was the man he had taken away?
hvd.hx5feh	Then more directly,"Why, what harm could a poor creature like myself do to a great stalwart man like you?
hvd.hx5feh	Then, as a thought occurred to him,"She is not under arrest?"
hvd.hx5feh	There are several people mixed up in it, we know; but how is it that they are all loyal to him?
hvd.hx5feh	There is ever the feeling, conscious or unconscious:"Why out of so many millions of people should this happen to me?"
hvd.hx5feh	There was a touch of hauteur in his tone when he Teplied,"Do you suggest that I am hiding him?"
hvd.hx5feh	There's a doctor here, I suppose?
hvd.hx5feh	Threatening the skipper?
hvd.hx5feh	Was Grell's course the wisest, after all?
hvd.hx5feh	Was he a detective?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it a political crime?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it altogether chance, he wondered, that Petrovska had chosen the day to make a move?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it blackmail?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it jealousy?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it revenge?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it robbery?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it the work of a madman?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it to her, by any chance, that the letters were directed?
hvd.hx5feh	Was it without your knowledge, Sir Ralph?"
hvd.hx5feh	Was she associated with the crime?
hvd.hx5feh	Was she merely a friend, or did she stand in closer relationship to either of you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Was there some point he had overlooked?
hvd.hx5feh	Well, he was waiting there for us""What kind of a looking man was he?"
hvd.hx5feh	What THE GRELL MYSTERY 87 about this lodger of yours?
hvd.hx5feh	What about this man Ivan?"
hvd.hx5feh	What advantage would it be to be placed under lock and key?
hvd.hx5feh	What advertisement?
hvd.hx5feh	What are you doing down here?"
hvd.hx5feh	What complexion would that statement bear when it was exposed as a lie — in the light of the tragedy?
hvd.hx5feh	What did it mean?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you mean?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you say I have done?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you say to walking in the front door, opening it with a key, and with the THE GRELL MYSTERY 143 keys of the rest of the house in my'sky'?
hvd.hx5feh	What do you say?"
hvd.hx5feh	What do you say?"
hvd.hx5feh	What do you think, Green?"
hvd.hx5feh	What do you want first?"
hvd.hx5feh	What does it all mean?
hvd.hx5feh	What does the advertisement say?"
hvd.hx5feh	What happened?"
hvd.hx5feh	What harm was there?
hvd.hx5feh	What harm would there be in a ciga- rette?
hvd.hx5feh	What has been the trouble?"
hvd.hx5feh	What has gone wrong?"
hvd.hx5feh	What have I to gain by Grell's death?"
hvd.hx5feh	What is it to be?
hvd.hx5feh	What is it?"
hvd.hx5feh	What luck did you have?"
hvd.hx5feh	What number was her taxi?"
hvd.hx5feh	What time did you get the note?"
hvd.hx5feh	What time was he murdered?"
hvd.hx5feh	What was I to think?"
hvd.hx5feh	What was it?"
hvd.hx5feh	What was she like?"
hvd.hx5feh	What would a servant know which he would recognise as of obvious importance?
hvd.hx5feh	What would be the effect 238 THE GRELL MYSTERY upon Grell's plans when he learned that Ivan had been captured?
hvd.hx5feh	What's her name? — Petrovska, I think."
hvd.hx5feh	What's that?'
hvd.hx5feh	What's the game?
hvd.hx5feh	What's the next move?
hvd.hx5feh	What's wrong?"
hvd.hx5feh	What?
hvd.hx5feh	When do you think he will be free?"
hvd.hx5feh	Where are you taking me? ” The detective smiled easily as he answered in the formal words of C.I.D.
hvd.hx5feh	Where did the paper you used come from?"
hvd.hx5feh	Where did you get the keys of the house?"
hvd.hx5feh	Where does the girl's aunt live?
hvd.hx5feh	Where is Mr. Grell? ” Foyle's hand had stolen to his chin and he rubbed it vigorously.
hvd.hx5feh	Where is it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Where was the 134, THE GRELL MYSTERY reason for this extraordinary tangle of complications?
hvd.hx5feh	Where was the motive?
hvd.hx5feh	Where's Fred?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who are they?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who else is in it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who is he?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who is it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who is this Harry Goldenburg, anyway?
hvd.hx5feh	Who killed this man Goldenburg?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who put Ike up to it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who was the mysterious veiled woman?
hvd.hx5feh	Who would be likely to know something?
hvd.hx5feh	Who would believe it?
hvd.hx5feh	Who'd like to be the first?"
hvd.hx5feh	Who'll I ask for if you're not at your office?"
hvd.hx5feh	Why deny a fact that is plain?"
hvd.hx5feh	Why did Foyle wish him to go?
hvd.hx5feh	Why did n't you let a man try single- handed?
hvd.hx5feh	Why had n't he thought of this?
hvd.hx5feh	Why not now?
hvd.hx5feh	Why not the servant?
hvd.hx5feh	Why should I lie now?"
hvd.hx5feh	Why should I?"
hvd.hx5feh	Why should he disappear?
hvd.hx5feh	Why should he go to Cape Town via New York?
hvd.hx5feh	Why should he hide if he is not dead?
hvd.hx5feh	Why should he mix himself up with the shady crew he is with — people who have twice tried to murder me, and who knocked out and kidnapped Waverley?
hvd.hx5feh	Why should he not come here himself?
hvd.hx5feh	Why should he send you?"
hvd.hx5feh	Why should she have taken part in this business?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you be going back there?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you do that?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you explain?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you help us?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you lend me some money?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you let me know what you want to say and have done with it?"
hvd.hx5feh	Will you not trust us and wait a little?
hvd.hx5feh	Wo n't you sit down, Lady Eileen?
hvd.hx5feh	Would he go to men he was less intimate with — or would he endeavour in person to enlist the aid of the woman he was to marry?
hvd.hx5feh	Would n't it be better to let her know that Grell is alive?"
hvd.hx5feh	Would you like a drink?
hvd.hx5feh	Would you mind if I had a look at it?"
hvd.hx5feh	You follow me?
hvd.hx5feh	You follow me?
hvd.hx5feh	You got it?"
hvd.hx5feh	You know ol'Bill Reid"— this almost pleadingly —"he'll tell you I'm allri', eh?"
hvd.hx5feh	You know they're excavating the foundations for a big hotel in Piccadilly?
hvd.hx5feh	You surely have n't come to cross- examine me on my habits of per- sonal extravagance?"
hvd.hx5feh	You were to get certain letters from him for Mr. Grell if you could?"
hvd.hx5feh	You would dare?
hvd.hx5feh	You — who knows?"
hvd.hx5feh	You'll do it, wo n't you?"
hvd.hx5feh	You've asked the county constabulary to make inquiries and to watch the railway stations round about, of course?
hvd.hx5feh	You've got the duplicate key all right?"
hvd.hx5feh	could you dig anything out of any of the others?
hvd.hx5feh	custom: “ I am a police officer-perhaps I need n't tell you that — and I am taking you to Malchester Row Police Station. ” “ To arrest me?
hvd.hx5feh	isiness of mine and ordinarily I would it?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Answer — why do n't you answer?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Has he been there long?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Here, you, where is she gone? ” He shook the woman roughly by the shoulder.
hvd.hx5feh	“ I do n't believe him to be a murderer, but why does he remain in hiding?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Is n't this the Goldenburg who engineered the South American gold mine swindle? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5feh	“ Is there anything more? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5feh	“ My daughter?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Oh, what's the use of talking nonsense?
hvd.hx5feh	“ The one who gave the alarm. ” “ My daughter?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Well?
hvd.hx5feh	“ What does this mean?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Where's that girl? ” said the detective curtly.
hvd.hx5feh	“ Who is this man, Mr. Foyle?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Why did n't you tell me you knew the secret of the cipher?"
hvd.hx5feh	“ Why do you look like that?
hvd.hx5feh	“ Why should they suspect me?
mdp.39015019984122	A little too much in the hands of the major states?
mdp.39015019984122	Ah, has the woman question, then, over in your country — died out? mdp.39015019984122 And what, then, is Wilbraham's ex- planation of the affair Chang?"
mdp.39015019984122	And who,said the acting- President med- itatively to those round him( he was an acute, courteous, and gentle Chinaman),"is this Lo?
mdp.39015019984122	But who are they? mdp.39015019984122 Ca n't the rest wait?"
mdp.39015019984122	Chi sa? mdp.39015019984122 Do you like Geneva?
mdp.39015019984122	Do you think the League will last?
mdp.39015019984122	Do you? mdp.39015019984122 E cosa fa tra questo bel giovanotto e quel Charles Wilbraham?"
mdp.39015019984122	Got a story already?
mdp.39015019984122	Hallo, what's up?
mdp.39015019984122	How did they guess that the old lady was going to invite me in?
mdp.39015019984122	How do you know?
mdp.39015019984122	I suppose you've got to crab the show, whatever it does, have n't you?
mdp.39015019984122	Is Maxse visiting Geneva by any chance?
mdp.39015019984122	Is there a new woman? mdp.39015019984122 Might I hear these sinister facts?"
mdp.39015019984122	Not done a get- away, you mean? mdp.39015019984122 Our only Lord B., or that Secretariat fellow?"
mdp.39015019984122	Rather capitalist in tendency, perhaps?
mdp.39015019984122	That's quite a question, is n't it? mdp.39015019984122 That's what widows are, is n't it?
mdp.39015019984122	The New Woman?
mdp.39015019984122	The woman question, sir? mdp.39015019984122 Thought what?"
mdp.39015019984122	What do you think can have happened to Svensen?
mdp.39015019984122	What then?
mdp.39015019984122	What's the 8th?
mdp.39015019984122	What,he demanded,"is being done with this last object?
mdp.39015019984122	Where, you may demand of me,pro- ceeded the President,"is M. Wilbraham now?
mdp.39015019984122	Which troubles you?
mdp.39015019984122	Which way did your plotters take, Beechtree? mdp.39015019984122 Whom do they pitch on?
mdp.39015019984122	Why so?
mdp.39015019984122	Why, Mr. Beechtree, you do n't suspect foul play, do you?
mdp.39015019984122	Will there be treats?
mdp.39015019984122	You do n't then agree that we should at- tempt a world- cosmogony? mdp.39015019984122 You have n't,"he suggested,"notes of what has actually passed between Wilbraham and Kratzky on the subject?"
mdp.39015019984122	You have rea- son,he added,"to think badly of Mr. Wil- braham, I infer?"
mdp.39015019984122	You mean by Georgians those persons who are now flourishing under the sovereignty of King George the Fifth of England? mdp.39015019984122 You're not a dog lover?"
mdp.39015019984122	You've not been out here before, have you?
mdp.39015019984122	A further question arose: were women News to their own sex, or only to men?
mdp.39015019984122	A ripe black fig, gaping to show its scarlet maw — what could be more lovely, and more lusgious to the palate?
mdp.39015019984122	An elderly English clergyman behind Henry tapped his shoulder with a pencil and said,"What paper do you represent?
mdp.39015019984122	And did Wilbra- ham and his criminal associates visit them from time to time with food and drink?
mdp.39015019984122	And for what pur- pose?
mdp.39015019984122	And how many more in Geneva knew of this trap- door and its secret?
mdp.39015019984122	And were men per- haps News to women?
mdp.39015019984122	And whom, precisely, are you tracking?"
mdp.39015019984122	And, knowing, had they not thought, when the recent troubles began, to explore these avenues?
mdp.39015019984122	Are not their skirts too short, or their sleeves?
mdp.39015019984122	Are spinsters superfluous?
mdp.39015019984122	Are women so unlike men then?"
mdp.39015019984122	Are you a Catholic, Miss Longfellow?"
mdp.39015019984122	Are you acquainted with the Middle West?"
mdp.39015019984122	As he unbolted a side door, Henry said to him,"You know something about Signor Wilbraham, then?"
mdp.39015019984122	Beechtree?"
mdp.39015019984122	Beechtree?"
mdp.39015019984122	Behind those windows burnt who knew what of passion and of plot?
mdp.39015019984122	Both so true, are n't they?
mdp.39015019984122	But for the moment might I be allowed to ask for a little personal explanation?
mdp.39015019984122	But is it, I won- der, enough to make one wonderful that one's husband should disappear alive?
mdp.39015019984122	But what on earth did they mean to do with me?
mdp.39015019984122	But who is to prove that, I ask you?
mdp.39015019984122	But who?
mdp.39015019984122	But why 74 MYSTERY AT GENEVA this curious insistence on the nation as a unit?
mdp.39015019984122	But your Geor- gians — they too are a gifted generation, is it not so?"
mdp.39015019984122	Ca n't you see all the little eyes lighting up?"
mdp.39015019984122	Could human flesh and nerves endure it?
mdp.39015019984122	Did the town authorities know?
mdp.39015019984122	Did they lurk, planning some evil, farther along the tunnel, just out of earshot?
mdp.39015019984122	Did you hear what he said about me at the committee meeting?
mdp.39015019984122	Do you know him, then?"
mdp.39015019984122	Do you think the League will be moved some- where else?
mdp.39015019984122	Every day that they can retard 86 MYSTERY AT GENEVA about the Irish delegates?
mdp.39015019984122	Exist?
mdp.39015019984122	Familiar in- deed, for was it not one of his own works?
mdp.39015019984122	Feet?
mdp.39015019984122	Fought to a finish, perhaps, with honours to the victorious sex?"
mdp.39015019984122	Had Svensen a private enemy?
mdp.39015019984122	Had he not always said that Italians( unless it were Albanians) had done this thing?
mdp.39015019984122	Have they a sense of humour, of honour, of direction?
mdp.39015019984122	Have we not been warned not to penetrate into the more squalid parts of the city by night?
mdp.39015019984122	Have you any theories, Mr. Beech- tree?"
mdp.39015019984122	He entered this system of secret passages last night in 204 MYSTERY AT GENEVA"Who is he?"
mdp.39015019984122	He's an Englishman, I assume, this friend of yours?"
mdp.39015019984122	Heard the latest news?"
mdp.39015019984122	Henry tiptoed forward; should he follow?
mdp.39015019984122	How could it be that gifts go in generations?
mdp.39015019984122	How did you get into this rat- trap?
mdp.39015019984122	How many people knew that it was under- run by this so intricate tunnel system?
mdp.39015019984122	How old is the chateau?"
mdp.39015019984122	How?"
mdp.39015019984122	I ask you, what would the League staff say of one of their members of which this should be revealed?
mdp.39015019984122	I was accusing and do accuse, no one; I was zo6 MYSTERY AT GENEVA spirited away, or even murdered, the missing delegates, may I ask?"
mdp.39015019984122	I wonder will there be any processions here?"
mdp.39015019984122	Is he very ig- norant, or merely perverse?"
mdp.39015019984122	Is it true, by the way?"
mdp.39015019984122	Is it, perhaps, a taunt from some one who wishes to remind me of the tran- sience of my office?
mdp.39015019984122	Is n't it a real pity the French are so obstructionist?
mdp.39015019984122	Is n't it all too weird?
mdp.39015019984122	Is n't it too awful for their wives, poor things?
mdp.39015019984122	Is that the case?
mdp.39015019984122	Luck did not favour our little plan, did it?"
mdp.39015019984122	MYSTERY AT GENEVA 15"Treats?
mdp.39015019984122	MYSTERY AT GENEVA 33"What interests them so much?"
mdp.39015019984122	MYSTERY AT GENEVA 83 Woman question?
mdp.39015019984122	Makes up for the seedy delegates and journalists, what?

mdp.39015019984122	Marry?
mdp.39015019984122	Mr. Beechtree, you will be able to direct them to the means of entry, will you not?"
mdp.39015019984122	My, is n't it queer what people will do?"
mdp.39015019984122	Now which do you think is the best?"
mdp.39015019984122	Now, I ask you, what would one talk about to Kratzky all that time except some iniquitous intrigue?
mdp.39015019984122	Or an impersonal motive, such as a desire, for some reason, to damage and retard the doings of the Assembly?
mdp.39015019984122	Or had they emerged by some other exit?
mdp.39015019984122	Or should all literature, art, and humour be a cul- de- sac, suggesting no idea whatsoever?
mdp.39015019984122	Or without?
mdp.39015019984122	Personal enmity?
mdp.39015019984122	Possibly you came across him out in the States?"
mdp.39015019984122	Revenge?
mdp.39015019984122	Robbery?
mdp.39015019984122	Should not everything be suggestive?
mdp.39015019984122	Should they smoke?
mdp.39015019984122	Should they work?
mdp.39015019984122	Such as myself?
mdp.39015019984122	Take orders?
mdp.39015019984122	That the nations should be as brothers, and concern themselves with one another's famines, one another's rev- olutions, one another's frontiers?
mdp.39015019984122	The horrid four who had pre- ceded him — where were they?
mdp.39015019984122	The question was, as an intelligent member of the Secretariat pointed out, who stood to benefit by the disappearance of Svensen from the scenes?
mdp.39015019984122	They say all sorts of comforting things about this distressing world, do n't they?
mdp.39015019984122	To be born a Catholic, that is one thing, and who can help it?
mdp.39015019984122	To whom, then, might such a desire be attributed?
mdp.39015019984122	Vote?
mdp.39015019984122	Was it indeed really funny at all?
mdp.39015019984122	Was it really funny even when to the lady thus unattired there entered a gentle- man, either M. l'Amant or M. le Mari?
mdp.39015019984122	Was murder their object, or merely abduc- tion?
mdp.39015019984122	Was only one thing funny, as some persons believed?
mdp.39015019984122	Was that, Henry speculated, really funny?
mdp.39015019984122	Well now, why should he, after all?
mdp.39015019984122	Were they kept immured underground, these unfor- tunate captive delegates?
mdp.39015019984122	What and whose was the unseen hand behind these dastardly deeds?
mdp.39015019984122	What do you think?"
mdp.39015019984122	What is a gov- ernment, that we should regard it as a con- necting link?
mdp.39015019984122	What is a race, that queer, far- flung thing whose boundaries march with those of no nation?
mdp.39015019984122	What new world?
mdp.39015019984122	What provision is being made for the safety of our persons?"
mdp.39015019984122	What remains?
mdp.39015019984122	What secret enemies of the League were so cunningly and assiduously at work?
mdp.39015019984122	What was all this prating?
mdp.39015019984122	What was it( though it had its own charm) as a dwelling- place for those of civilised and cosmopolitan minds?
mdp.39015019984122	What woman 82 MYSTERY AT GENEVA question?
mdp.39015019984122	What, after all, could he do?
mdp.39015019984122	What, in fact, is this patriotism, this love of country, that we all feel, and that we nearly all exalt as if it were a virtue?
mdp.39015019984122	Where is the chap?
mdp.39015019984122	Where tarried it?
mdp.39015019984122	Where was Dr. Sven- sen?
mdp.39015019984122	Which should be followed?
mdp.39015019984122	Who for?
mdp.39015019984122	Who saw him going into the Bergues?"
mdp.39015019984122	Who'd have thought it of him?"
mdp.39015019984122	Whose turn would it be next?
mdp.39015019984122	Why ask questions about them?
mdp.39015019984122	Why did n't your people finish the job they began on myself — if it was your people, and not, as I suspect, some Sinn Fein scoundrels?"
mdp.39015019984122	Why dwell on them, or, in detail, on the strange — or rather the now familiar, but none the less sinister — events which marked each?
mdp.39015019984122	Why was it?
mdp.39015019984122	Will the Americans come in?"
mdp.39015019984122	Will you leave a message?"
mdp.39015019984122	Will you, Mr. President, request Mr. Beech- tree to be seated?
mdp.39015019984122	With nothing, perhaps, but taunts?
mdp.39015019984122	Women believe what they are taught, as a rule, do n't they?"
mdp.39015019984122	Would he be regarded as a fit incumbent of the office he holds?
mdp.39015019984122	Yards?
mdp.39015019984122	You are a descendant of his?"
mdp.39015019984122	You have a line of inquiry to follow?"
mdp.39015019984122	and then what?
mdp.39015019984122	but at least we have your good wishes, Lord John, have n't we?"
mdp.39015019984122	who knows?
hvd.hxdlh1	And what could he want with Grant?
hvd.hxdlh1	Any new freak weapon which he may have added to his collection?
hvd.hxdlh1	Are n’t you the official, duly elected officer in that capacity?
hvd.hxdlh1	Are they intimate friends of yours, Mrs. Sowerby? ” Crane asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	At a bank here or in town? ” “ Neither.
hvd.hxdlh1	Bowles, would you mind going with Murdock to see that they are all de- tained?
hvd.hxdlh1	But what about this new point in your case?
hvd.hxdlh1	But what can I do for you, Mr. Crane?
hvd.hxdlh1	But your name was not ‘ Carter ” then either. ” “ What do you mean? ” she demanded sharply.
hvd.hxdlh1	By the way — from where you were seated in the conservatory could you see the main staircase?
hvd.hxdlh1	By the way, I understand he is the assistant cashier at your bank, Sowerby?
hvd.hxdlh1	By the way, do you mean that brother of yours from Texas? ” Fraser nodded, and Sowerby turned to Estridge.
hvd.hxdlh1	Can you tell me where she came from and who were her social sponsors?
hvd.hxdlh1	Carter, is it to be the Mayblossom Inn? ” She rose with a slow shake of her head.
hvd.hxdlh1	Could there be wheels within wheels in this quiet, conservative community?
hvd.hxdlh1	Could there, after all, have been some other possible motive than the theft of the necklace for the murder of Jim Doyle?
hvd.hxdlh1	Did you bring the cſippings? ” “ Right here. ” The operative opened his brief case upon the bed, and a mass of newspaper cut- tings fell out.
hvd.hxdlh1	Did you not fear that some gossip might have reached your husband ’s ears, or those of Mrs. Dorrance?
hvd.hxdlh1	Did you not sus- pect him of being other than he appeared?
hvd.hxdlh1	Did you think it Was the other shot?
hvd.hxdlh1	Do n’t you think the way she wears her hair drawn over her ears makes her look posi- tively saintly? ” Alice demanded with girlish enthusiasm.
hvd.hxdlh1	Do you feel inclined to discuss it?
hvd.hxdlh1	Do you mean that we are — are both going to get into trouble?
hvd.hxdlh1	Do you mean to insinuate that I killed him?
hvd.hxdlh1	Do you remember our conversation yesterday?
hvd.hxdlh1	Do you suppose it means a special meeting of some kind?
hvd.hxdlh1	Do you think that I or any one else present could forget it?
hvd.hxdlh1	Does anybody know?
hvd.hxdlh1	Does he still ride that hobby of his? ” Jack Fraser laughed.
hvd.hxdlh1	Fraser”—Renwick Crane's incisive tones Sut the tension in the air like the thrust of a knife—“what do you know of this?
hvd.hxdlh1	Gentlemen, do you know what our well- meant efforts have stirred up in this peaceful little community?
hvd.hxdlh1	Got a revolver or pistol here at the club? ” “ None that I know of, sheriff, ” Estridge said.
hvd.hxdlh1	Grant is on the veranda, you say? ” Without waiting for a reply, he was off, while Gerald gazed after him for a moment in amaze- ment.
hvd.hxdlh1	Grant, is n’t it?
hvd.hxdlh1	Had the dead operative considered only the girl ’s motive and opportunity, or had he other cause to suspect her?
hvd.hxdlh1	Had the dead operative considered only the girl ’s motive and opportunity, or had he other cause to suspect her?
hvd.hxdlh1	Have n’t I always maintained that this club was too small to need a salaried one?
hvd.hxdlh1	Have you actually witnesses who are prepared to swear that two shots were fired? ” “ Not actually. ” Crane smiled.
hvd.hxdlh1	Have you interviewed them? ” “ Not yet. ” He rose.
hvd.hxdlh1	Have you noticed the width of that window before which Doyle was stationed?
hvd.hxdlh1	Have you seen her? ” “ Yes. ” Mrs. Dorrance moved heavily off in step with him, carefully conserving her breath.
hvd.hxdlh1	He brought down an outfit of everything suggested to him in a sporting- goods shop. ” “ Did he bring anything else, Mrs. Fraser?
hvd.hxdlh1	He handed it back and asked casually: “ Have n’t seen an odd driver lying about here anywhere, have you? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlh1	He is n’t dead, Saunders? ” “ No, but he ’s dead to the world! ” Saunders responded.
hvd.hxdlh1	He told me how you discovered their romance. ” “ How did you? ” Crane laughed.
hvd.hxdlh1	He was a detective, we know that, but I have heard of no robbery at the club, have you? ” Bowles shook his head.
hvd.hxdlh1	He ’s not —'?
hvd.hxdlh1	Here it ’s been more than a month since the affair happened, and what has been accomplished?
hvd.hxdlh1	How are things coming with your investigation?
hvd.hxdlh1	How is Lindsay?
hvd.hxdlh1	How many cars brought people here this evening?
hvd.hxdlh1	How was the market?
hvd.hxdlh1	How — how did Mr. Sowerby treat you at the bank to- day? ” “ The same as usual — just as though I did n’t exist. ” Gerald Landon shrugged.
hvd.hxdlh1	I am wondering 3 y “ Yes? ” he asked, as she hesitated once more.
hvd.hxdlh1	I could n't! ” “ Suppose I had n’t taken it for a mild sort of flirtation? ” Phil asked grimly.
hvd.hxdlh1	I did n’t kill him, after all?
hvd.hxdlh1	I did n’t kill him, after all?
hvd.hxdlh1	I hope he has n’t been officious about the accounts or anything?
hvd.hxdlh1	I ’ll give you the real one to- morrow. ” “ I thought so? ” Estridge said.
hvd.hxdlh1	If Doyle had intended those notes for himself alone why on earth had n’t he written the names, or at least initials?
hvd.hxdlh1	If you want to talk to me, would n’t you rather sit out here?
hvd.hxdlh1	If you will ex- “ I KILLED HIM ’?
hvd.hxdlh1	Ignoring her remark about the secretary, he repeated, as he prepared to depart: “ Gerald Landon?
hvd.hxdlh1	In reality had she been upstairs at the moment the fatal shot was fired?
hvd.hxdlh1	Instead he asked gravely: “ But did you not know what his real object was in coming here?
hvd.hxdlh1	Instead he asked: “ Do you know of any enmity which you may have THE SHOT FROM THE AIR 165 incurred, Mrs. Carter, either here, or elsewhere?
hvd.hxdlh1	Is Mr. Grant in his Office? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hxdlh1	Is it the same wo- man? ” “ I could n’t swear to it from here, ” Lovell re- sponded after an interval.
hvd.hxdlh1	Is she a resident of the neighborhood? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlh1	Is there a chance that the shot which killed Doyle might have been intended for another?
hvd.hxdlh1	Just who, for instance, are the Frasers? ” “ Thoroughly good people in every way, ” re- plied the attorney emphatically.
hvd.hxdlh1	Landon, call Rutherford Sowerby, will you? ” “ Who is this man, anyway? ” Phil Dorrance's voice fairly squeaked in his excitement.
hvd.hxdlh1	Landon, call Rutherford Sowerby, will you? ” “ Who is this man, anyway? ” Phil Dorrance's voice fairly squeaked in his excitement.
hvd.hxdlh1	Let us go out to the ver- anda for a few minutes and get a breath of air. ” “ You wo n’t take cold? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	Little touch of the gout to- day? ” he asked with half- bantering sympathy.
hvd.hxdlh1	Locked the stable door after the horse was stolen, have you? ” Sowerby stood gazing grimly down at the body.
hvd.hxdlh1	May I ask what other possibilities you suggest, Mr. Crane? ” “ Where do you keep your emeralds when you are not wearing them?
hvd.hxdlh1	May I ask what other possibilities you suggest, Mr. Crane? ” “ Where do you keep your emeralds when you are not wearing them?
hvd.hxdlh1	May I join you?
hvd.hxdlh1	May we drop you at your place on our way home? ” “ Thanks, I ’m staying on here a little longer.
hvd.hxdlh1	Murdock, the story you told me was partly the truth, then? ” “ Yes, sir, partly. ” Murdock wiped his eyes and straightened in his chair.
hvd.hxdlh1	Murdock, the story you told me was partly the truth, then? ” “ Yes, sir, partly. ” Murdock wiped his eyes and straightened in his chair.
hvd.hxdlh1	Oh, what is Crane doing? ” A tall vase of autumn flowers rested upon a stand beside the couch upon which Mrs. Carter was seated.
hvd.hxdlh1	Older than you, is n’t he, Jack?
hvd.hxdlh1	Perhaps you reasoned that he was too stupid to realize that? ” THE SHADOW ON THE DOOR 269 The detective smiled.
hvd.hxdlh1	SOWERBY 145 “ Who is she? ” Crane asked with seeming indif- ference.
hvd.hxdlh1	Say that again, IN THE BOXWOOD BUSHES 131 Will you, doc?
hvd.hxdlh1	Shall I take you back now to your husband? ” She looked at him, and the sneer gave place to a whimper.
hvd.hxdlh1	That young friend of the Frasers?
hvd.hxdlh1	That ’s really all I can tell you, sir. ”- “ Did you notice any one move after the singin started, except that waiter? ” Crane asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	The red- haired lady, Mrs. Carter, for one instance? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlh1	The shot that missed? ” THE CURIOSITY OF MES.
hvd.hxdlh1	The stage had evidently been set for a carefully rehearsed scene, but why so much effort to make an impression upon him?
hvd.hxdlh1	Then suppose we join those of your members who are still being detained? ” Crane suggested.
hvd.hxdlh1	These are from the principal Dallas papers. ” “ Dallas? ” the attorney asked, as Crane bent CHAPTER XIX “ THE TRIANGLE TURN??
hvd.hxdlh1	These are from the principal Dallas papers. ” “ Dallas? ” the attorney asked, as Crane bent CHAPTER XIX “ THE TRIANGLE TURN??
hvd.hxdlh1	These are from the principal Dallas papers. ” “ Dallas? ” the attorney asked, as Crane bent CHAPTER XIX “ THE TRIANGLE TURN??
hvd.hxdlh1	They have lived out here for six or seven years. ” “ And Mr. Jack Fraser's brother? ” pursued Crane.
hvd.hxdlh1	Was it fear that he read in them — the same fear which had covered the less well- poised little Mrs. Sowerby with confusion?
hvd.hxdlh1	Was she merely another of the neurasthenics with whom he had more than once come into contact, or had she some deeper reason for this reception?
hvd.hxdlh1	Were you not told? ” The girl ’s delicate face turned white to the lips, but she met his eyes fearlessly this time.
hvd.hxdlh1	What about the young girl — the niece of Mrs. de Forest — she is an heir- ess, is n’t she? ” asked the detective perfunctorily.
hvd.hxdlh1	What could have been the matter with Dor- rance?
hvd.hxdlh1	What did you hear?
hvd.hxdlh1	What excuse would you have given? ” “ None but the truth, ” Estridge replied quietly.
hvd.hxdlh1	What has happened to him? ” a voice demanded sharply.
hvd.hxdlh1	What motive had you? ” “ None, sir, I swear it! ” Murdock raised a face suddenly grown old and haggard.
hvd.hxdlh1	What then? ” Her anger flamed up anew.
hvd.hxdlh1	What was it, jewelry?
hvd.hxdlh1	What was the matter with Mrs. Sowerby and Mrs. Carter and Bowles?
hvd.hxdlh1	What was the secret which Dorrance had threat- ened to divulge concerning Mrs. Carter, and whence had come her sudden decision to leave Broadlawns?
hvd.hxdlh1	What were your impressions? ” “ I do n’t know! ” She passed a hand across her eyes.
hvd.hxdlh1	What's all this about your infernal secretary?
hvd.hxdlh1	What's that?
hvd.hxdlh1	When they heard the gate latch the former asked: “ Were you serious about that, Crane, or was it a bluff?
hvd.hxdlh1	Where could they be?
hvd.hxdlh1	Where had he got those infernal numbers, any- way?
hvd.hxdlh1	Where is Mr. Estridge? ” “ In the billiard room, sir.
hvd.hxdlh1	Where were you? ” She bit her lips, and her eyes narrowed, as she replied coldly: “ You have been misinformed.
hvd.hxdlh1	Where ’s the one this came from? ” ‘ ‘ I KILLED HIM ’ ” 189 son.
hvd.hxdlh1	Which one of the boys is it?
hvd.hxdlh1	Who found him? ” Saunders stared at the mention of the private detective ’s name.
hvd.hxdlh1	Who told you? ” “ I do n’t know!
hvd.hxdlh1	Who was he? ” “ I do n’t know, sir. ” A suspicion of a shrug lifted Murdock's lean shoulders.
hvd.hxdlh1	Who were the other four? ” “ The two Fraser brothers and Mrs. Jack Fraser with little Miss Dare stood here, near the door of the billiard room.
hvd.hxdlh1	Why had Mrs. Sowerby lied and claimed to have been in the conservatory?
hvd.hxdlh1	Why had he taken up his station at that particular window and never left it?
hvd.hxdlh1	Why had n’t Dorrance gone to Mur- dock if he had wanted anything?
hvd.hxdlh1	Why should I have been? ” “ Because you knew what had occurred at the A PIECE OF RIBBON 259 Harvest dance, ” he replied slowly.
hvd.hxdlh1	Why should I want to — to murder our club secre- tary?
hvd.hxdlh1	Why was he sent here to spy upon us?
hvd.hxdlh1	Why was she so concerned?
hvd.hxdlh1	Will you see to it?
hvd.hxdlh1	With what size bullet did You think Doyle had been killed?
hvd.hxdlh1	Would you care to use that? ” asked Estridge.
hvd.hxdlh1	You are going to perform the autopsy now? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlh1	You are not going, Mr. Crane?
hvd.hxdlh1	You did not wear it like that down in Dallas four years ago, did you?
hvd.hxdlh1	You live near here? ” “ Yes, scarcely a mile away, at the Horton Cot- tage.
hvd.hxdlh1	You see? ” His voice was almost apologetic, but Crane shook his head.
hvd.hxdlh1	You see? ” His voice was almost apologetic, but Crane shook his head.
hvd.hxdlh1	You trusted to luck that your wife would not discover the substitution for months to come, did n’t you?
hvd.hxdlh1	You were accused 7 y “ What? ” Gerald was ready to explode, but neither of them heeded him.
hvd.hxdlh1	You were present when the shot was fired? ” She shuddered and shrank back within the screening wings of her chair.
hvd.hxdlh1	You — you wo n’t tell, Mr. Crane? ” He promised, congratulated them again, and took his leave.
hvd.hxdlh1	You ’ve met him?
hvd.hxdlh1	You're dead certain that it was a thirty- two? ” For answer the Coroner held out in his palm a tiny, steel- coated object.
hvd.hxdlh1	Your constable can be released for more important duty. ” “ But what could be more important? ” asked Jack Fraser in surprise.
hvd.hxdlh1	de Forest is very wealthy herself, is she not? ” the detective asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	gone out, have n’t they?
hvd.hxdlh1	mean?
hvd.hxdlh1	‘ ‘ ‘ Too late? ’ ” she asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ And going out into the center of the hall, fired that shot which seemed to come from up in the air?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Are you in any pain? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Are you ready to go home now, auntie? ” she asked in the dazed accents of a child suddenly awakened.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ As I told you I have no possible theory to offer, but may I voice a sugges- tion?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ But all this is dangerously close to 172 THE TRIGGER OF CONSCIENCE gossip, is n’t it?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Ca n’t I get your wrap for you?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Can I help you in any way, Mr. Crane?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Did she give you any information of value?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Did the autopsy disclose what we ex- pected? ” Crane nodded.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Did you hear that?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Do n’t you remember? ” Wharton asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Do n’t you remember? ” Wharton asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Do n’t you suppose I realize my position as it is?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Do the other people whom I interviewed to- night all belong to the club?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Do you mean that you heard or saw something which you have not men- tioned?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Do you re- call a certain conversation between your aunt and yourself on reaching home that night?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Doctor, do you realize that a straight 136 THE TRIGGER OF CONSCIENCE range may not mean the rear of the hall, alone?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Ever meet him? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Getting on to the work all right, Grant?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Have I kept you waiting, dear?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Have you examined the wound? ” “ Only superficially, ” the attorney responded.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Have you finished with the wit- nesses, Crane? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Have you met the new secretary of the club — the one whom the committee engaged to succeed poor Mr. Martin?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Henry, upon what telephone did Mr. Dor- rance call up? ”- “ The main one, sir, on Murdock ’s desk, ” Henry replied.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ How could you know that? ” Alice asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ How do I know that you were accused the other night, after Doyle was shot, of having put what had been stolen back where it was found?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ How do you do, Mr. Estridge?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ I presume you know what that kind of a message will do, do n’t you?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ I say, old man, have you seen anything of that chap Grant?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ I ’m going to get at the truth of this What was Alice accused of stealing and putting back?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ If you shot Doyle how did you do it, Murdock?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Is n’t there an extension, also, in the office which was occupied by Martin and the late — er — Grant? ” Crane had paused in the doorway.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Is that you, Estridge? ” the latter called cautiously.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Is there any way in which I may assist you? ” “ It is barely possible, Mrs. Carter.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ It is like summer, is n’t it, Mr. Crane? ” she asked gushingly, as she patted a chair beside her invitingly.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ It is the driver missing from your set of clubs, is it not, Mr. Fraser?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ It ’s almost as small as a toy. ” “ Small enough for a woman to use, eh? ” asked the other.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ It ’s the truth you are telling me?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ It ’s the truth you are telling me?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Just what are you driving at? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Man about forty, gray hair at temples, walks like a cat; know him, Mr. Crane? ” he asked with- out preamble.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Might he not have been peering in at the extreme right or left of the casing? ” The coroner started.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Miss Dare is also a newcomer, is she not?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ My confession?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Nothing new turned up here about that Walker business, has there?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ One of the ladies was robbed?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Perhaps Mr. Crane would prefer to have it switched to one of the extensions in the locker room? ” the lawyer suggested.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Strike something? ” asked Jewett, his stolidity gone.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Suppose I ’d burned both our bridges?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ That bunch still out on the porch? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ That was the reason why the old man picked him for this case. ” “ But why the disguise?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ That ’s not RENWICK CRANE ARRIVES 67 Mrs. de Forest ’s necklace, the famous de Forest diamonds? ” Samuel Estridge nodded.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Those three members of the house committee have gone home, I suppose? ” THE MAN IN THE BUSHES 103 Doctor Fellowes chuckled.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Was there no maid assigned there? ” “ Oh, yes, but I fancy she had gone down to the kitchen or pantry.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What did Harlier say about my emeralds? ” Dorrance moistened his lips nervously and shook his head.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What did you see or hear before or after that shot was fired, while you lay upstairs in one of the resting rooms?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What did you see then, Mrs. Carter?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What do you make of it, doc? ” Sheriff Co- burn asked with the familiarity of lifelong asso- ciation.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What do you think of this latest development, Mr. Estridge? ” the latter asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What does this mean? ” Sowerby ’s voice rose above the rest.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What does this mean? ” Sowerby's voice rose above the rest.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What hit me? ” the latter repeated faintly over and over.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What is it, Dorry?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What ’s it mean? ” Jewett demanded in a whis- per and proceeded to answer himself.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What's the verdict, doctor? ” he asked quickly before Fraser could speak.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ What, Mrs. Fraser?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Where is that bag now?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Who did it, sir?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Who is it?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Who is this fellow, Grant, Estridge?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Who is this mysterious woman I am accused of being?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Who the deuce asked you to think for the whole club, Sam?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Why are you so anxious to know, Mrs. Sow- erby? ” he demanded bluntly.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Why do you think so now, Mrs. Sowerby? ” “ Oh, I do n’t know what to think! ” She struck one of the cushions with her clenched fist.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Why should any one wish to harm me, Mr. Crane?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Why was he here disguised like that? ” No one paid any heed to him, however.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Wo n't you come over, Mr. Crane?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ Wo n’t you come in and let me give you a cup of tea, Mrs. Fraser? ” “ You come in and join us, ” she suggested in- stead.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You are the Fra- sers ’ friend, Mr. Landon, are n’t you?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You did not hold any conversation with Mrs. Sowerby when you came upon her in the dressing room? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You found something to interest you? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You see?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You stretched out your hand to touch this waiter from behind your desk? ” Murdock flushed but replied promptly: “ No, sir.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You were alone in the conservatory when the crime took place, I think you said, Mrs. Sowerby? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You will wear your diamond necklace, of course? ” Mrs. de Forest shook her head, and her lips tightened.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You would rather dance? ” Bowles asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You — you mean that, sir? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You — you mean that, sir? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You ’ll forgive me, wo n’t you, if I run away to the dress- ing room upstairs and rest for a few minutes?
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You ’re the wonderful Mr. Crane, are n’t you? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ You, Murdock? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hxdlh1	“ ‘ Loss? ’ ” repeated the other.
hvd.hx5ch7	How much was it?'
hvd.hx5ch7	What do you mean, then?'
hvd.hx5ch7	And so you came? hvd.hx5ch7 And what explanation will the District At- torney give to the police of his presence here at this hour?'
hvd.hx5ch7	Another clue?' hvd.hx5ch7 Are you still working on that?
hvd.hx5ch7	Did you see this officer go in with Mrs. Cox? ” indicating Dooley. hvd.hx5ch7 Do you want me to take that message, Mr. Dalrymple?
hvd.hx5ch7	Have you told anybody what you are with- holding from me?
hvd.hx5ch7	How did it happen?
hvd.hx5ch7	Then you must know the name of the cus- tomer you sold the first of these coats to? ” Macoy looked at Molossi. hvd.hx5ch7 What do you want to know? ” she inquired.
hvd.hx5ch7	What have we in the thermos bottle? hvd.hx5ch7 What kind of a hat did he wear? ” continued Macoy.
hvd.hx5ch7	Where do you keep it when you're home? ” She shot a suspicious glance at her ques- tioner. hvd.hx5ch7 Where would you like to take me?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Why did n't you detain him? hvd.hx5ch7 You knew that, did you? ” “ Of course I knew it.
hvd.hx5ch7	'And who shot him'?
hvd.hx5ch7	14 THE HOUSE OF CARDS"Where is this woman now? ” inquired the Inspector.
hvd.hx5ch7	146 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Did you know the people he was with? ” Kane went on.
hvd.hx5ch7	218 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ What was the trouble? ” said Farrell.
hvd.hx5ch7	30 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Then you think he was sitting in the chair and some one stood over him?".
hvd.hx5ch7	64 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Who does do it?"
hvd.hx5ch7	74 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Oh, what has happened?"
hvd.hx5ch7	A finer steppin'colleen you would n't find this side of Cork. ” “ Oh, she was young then?
hvd.hx5ch7	A man ca n't be trusted with any woman when he's drunk. ” “ Did you observe the bottles closely? ” said Wallace.
hvd.hx5ch7	ANOTHER CLUE 133 The question is — did he get it from Burrell, and how deep into the business did Barwood go?
hvd.hx5ch7	Am I right?
hvd.hx5ch7	Am I right? ” “ Quite right.
hvd.hx5ch7	Am I too frank?"
hvd.hx5ch7	And are the executors of his estate obliged to give them up?
hvd.hx5ch7	And had he taken justice into his own hands?
hvd.hx5ch7	And if he had known, where would he have gone?
hvd.hx5ch7	And if they do, is there any way to keep the police from making those vouchers public?"
hvd.hx5ch7	And what is the pace?
hvd.hx5ch7	And your neckties- ah, can I trust you with your ties and socks, or must I buy them myself?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Are you going to get a tray and help me with these things?
hvd.hx5ch7	Are you ill? ” Mrs. Grayson solicitously inquired, noting the perspiration on his brow, and his y apparent trepidation.
hvd.hx5ch7	Are you losing your reason, Nath- alie? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hx5ch7	Barwood him- self?".
hvd.hx5ch7	Barwood was shot- Wednesday morning, was n't he? ” “ Yes, about eight- thirty o'clock.
hvd.hx5ch7	Burrell, where was Mr. Barwood when you last saw him?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Burrell, ” he commented, “ that note book of yours must be a prize. ”"You think so, Mr. Knowles?"
hvd.hx5ch7	But I do n't see what it all means. ” “ Are you sure you can talk it over and not have it exhaust you? ” he remonstrated.
hvd.hx5ch7	But how about your wife after I have circulated a few innuen- does concerning that voucher?
hvd.hx5ch7	But what I mean is, are n't you hungry? ”"Just ravenous,"he exclaimed, joyfully;"you just stay on the porch while I bring on the feast."
hvd.hx5ch7	But, granted that they had quar- relled, how do you account for the fact that the murder occurred in the reception room?
hvd.hx5ch7	By the way, do you know Jack Dal- rymple? ” “ Yes; he's a curb broker- a pretty smooth article.
hvd.hx5ch7	By the way, is it against etiquette to smoke in the dock? ” he bantered.
hvd.hx5ch7	Ca n't you see you are giving the sleuth all your points? ” interrupted Flynn.
hvd.hx5ch7	Can we actually show a mo- tive?
hvd.hx5ch7	Can we furnish the weapon? ” Kane held on doggedly.
hvd.hx5ch7	Can we prove that Mrs. Dalrymple quarreled with Barwood?
hvd.hx5ch7	Can you make sandwiches? ” Her assistant proved an adept in his task.
hvd.hx5ch7	Come, now, could n't you? ” “ She did n't take anybody's life, ” reiterated the exasperating witness.
hvd.hx5ch7	Could she have re- ceived some shock that morning?
hvd.hx5ch7	Could you make a guess from that about the ap- proximate time he was shot? ” “ With such a wound he would immediately become unconscious.
hvd.hx5ch7	Cox, are you aware that we have no- body's word but yours that there was another woman there?
hvd.hx5ch7	DALRYMPLE HEDGES 107 “ How did you happen to be there at the same time?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Dalrymple?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Dalrymple?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Dalrymple?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Did Mr. Barwood shoot somebody?
hvd.hx5ch7	Did Turner bring her, too? ” “ No, she arrived alone in a Black and White taxi."
hvd.hx5ch7	Did he fill your mind with suspicion? ” “ Yes,"she nodded.
hvd.hx5ch7	Did he or the woman in the black coat fire the shot?
hvd.hx5ch7	Did n't Mr. Barwood call her by name? ” Turner laughed amusedly.
hvd.hx5ch7	Did n't she know any of them? ” pursued the District Attorney.
hvd.hx5ch7	Did n't you know that Mr. Barwood was in a very critical condition, and a minute or two might make the difference in saving his life?
hvd.hx5ch7	Did n't you read them in school? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	Did they find a list of names, or any clue to the identity of these people?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Did you and Flynn search the basement that morn- ing?!
hvd.hx5ch7	Did you ever hear of Dick Colby?
hvd.hx5ch7	Did you ever hear of the Jacob Cone case?
hvd.hx5ch7	Did you think I went to the office in an airplane? ” He was n't quite satisfied, but he could n't think of a proper retort.
hvd.hx5ch7	Did you think it was horns and a tail I had? ” At this the waxen image became human.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do many ladies wear them on their gowns? ” n 260 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Yes, beads are used quite a good deal on evening dresses.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do n't you think there is some danger in neglecting a young and beautiful wife who is as fond of the social whirl as Sidney is? ” she cautioned.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do they think I shot the man? ” he asked gruffly.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you expect me to arrest you? ” She met his eyes bravely, but hers were burning with feverish fire, and there were dark circles beneath them.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you know anything about that? ” he asked.

hvd.hx5ch7	Do you know what perjury means? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the woman's eyes snapped.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you like them? ” “ Yes,,but they puzzle me.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you mind telling me where you buy your neckties? ” “ At the Ten Cent Store.
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you see that shell — the shell of some little crea- ture- a horseshoe crab, I think you call it?
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you see the position you are in if the police assume there was no woman there?
hvd.hx5ch7	Do you think a visitor took him by surprise? ” “ Undoubtedly, but to find out who and why is up to the police.
hvd.hx5ch7	For 302 THE HOUSE OF CARDS God's sake, Sidney, whose signature?'
hvd.hx5ch7	Grayson, are those dresses very com- mon?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Had he found that Sidney was com- promised in some way?
hvd.hx5ch7	Has something happened to trouble you? ” 281 282 THE HOUSE OF CARDS She withdrew her hand and motioned him to a seat.
hvd.hx5ch7	Have n't I the right to wear the kind of clothes I want to, so long as I pay my bills and live straight? ” he inquired, genuinely puz- zled.
hvd.hx5ch7	Have you ever seen Miss Johnson before?"
hvd.hx5ch7	He had n't cashed it?'
hvd.hx5ch7	He was not satisfied with any- thing short of producing the criminal, and that is why he did n't give you his clues. ” “ What were his clues?
hvd.hx5ch7	His tone was almost casual as he said: “ Indeed, and what was she like? ” “ She was a medium sized woman dressed all in black.
hvd.hx5ch7	How could the woman get away from there and get back again in fifteen min- utes?
hvd.hx5ch7	How did it come about, Nathalie? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	How do you explain that? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	How do you happen to have all these names so handy? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	How long had you been here when Mrs. Cox came? ” “ How come I know how long I bin?
hvd.hx5ch7	How long had you been here when Mrs. Cox came? ” “ How come I know how long I bin?
hvd.hx5ch7	How much magnesia shall I fix for you, Mrs. Gray- son?
hvd.hx5ch7	I did n't shoot Gregory Barwood. ” “ You did n't?"
hvd.hx5ch7	I do n't own the place. ” “ What time did you come to New York to- day?"
hvd.hx5ch7	I know Mrs. MACOY IS DAZZLED 267 bead ca n't be duplicated in New York, do you? ” he asked, a dawning hope appearing in his voice.
hvd.hx5ch7	I say, ” repeated Macoy, speaking in a louder tone, “ Do n't you take care of the Barwood house? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	I suppose it would n't be consistent of me to eat one, now, would it? — Oh, I do n't mean a horseshoe — the other kind, you know.
hvd.hx5ch7	I think it will be less than two- why defer so great a pleasure?
hvd.hx5ch7	INSPECTOR STRIKES A SNAG 75 “ And then what did you do? ” continued the Assistant District Attorney.
hvd.hx5ch7	If I do n't repudiate the signature of that check, what can be done about it?
hvd.hx5ch7	If she fails us, and we get noth- ing more from her, what is our next move?
hvd.hx5ch7	If the visitors were familiar with the routine of the establish- ment, did they not know that Mrs. Cox was due to arrive at that hour?
hvd.hx5ch7	Is it a cab you'd be after having?"
hvd.hx5ch7	It is n't a large place. ” “ How much truth was there in the story he told yesterday, or was n't there any?"
hvd.hx5ch7	It was no cheap joint, I'll tell the world. ” “ Do you know their real names? ” “ Not on your life!
hvd.hx5ch7	It's a sin to waste it, now, ai n't it?"
hvd.hx5ch7	James Macoy, Reporter'?
hvd.hx5ch7	Just what do they want me for?
hvd.hx5ch7	Just what line of talk do you want?
hvd.hx5ch7	Let it go that you got there in the course of time, and your passenger went into the house, did he?"
hvd.hx5ch7	MACOY AS HOST 201 At length she spoke to him:“What does this all mean to you, Spirit of Youth? ” He did n't quite understand her.
hvd.hx5ch7	May not that have belonged to some woman in our social set?
hvd.hx5ch7	Mr. Dalrymple, was there any trouble in your party on West Street, that night? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	Nathalie, what are you say- ing?"
hvd.hx5ch7	No one else could have taken it. ” “ Have you found the gun, Inspector? ” Wal- lace inquired.
hvd.hx5ch7	Now I can destroy them and where is your proof?'
hvd.hx5ch7	Now who was the brains of the deal?
hvd.hx5ch7	Now you want to know where I was- what night?
hvd.hx5ch7	Now, Mr. Wallace, wo n't you take me on this Bar- wood case?
hvd.hx5ch7	Now, Mrs. Cox, ca n't you state something more definite than that?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Now, for the sake of all concerned, and to avoid a scandal that will smirch the names of half the society women in the city, ca n't we talk it over?'
hvd.hx5ch7	One evening she said: “ How does it happen you have never read these things before?
hvd.hx5ch7	See the connection?
hvd.hx5ch7	Shall I find her for you? ” “ Yes, the sooner I question her, the better, ” said the Inspector briskly.
hvd.hx5ch7	She examined it carefully and then said: “ Sherlock, would you trust this paper to me until to- morrow evening at this time?
hvd.hx5ch7	She had a taxi called, and she left, taking with her a small trunk such as they carry on automobiles. ” “ You found the cab? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	She had opportunity, motive, intention probably, and all the stock things you fellows demand, did n't she? ” laughed Knowles.
hvd.hx5ch7	She poured tea into a shell of a cup, and pausing with a lump of sugar in the tongs, she uttered the usual formula: “ One lump or two?"
hvd.hx5ch7	She said she came in at eight- thirty, but who saw her come in?
hvd.hx5ch7	Sidney, innocent and guiltless, but about to be proclaimed otherwise before the world?
hvd.hx5ch7	Slow spoken, was he, and a bit diffident like the woman? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	So, you see, they are not exactly sporty coats. ” “ And who bought the other one?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Sort of a gentleman he was more like. ” “ Where did you take them? ” “ I took them to West Street."
hvd.hx5ch7	Steward? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	Swagger, are n't they? ” he commented.
hvd.hx5ch7	Swell young THE REPORTER 57 classes of people there?
hvd.hx5ch7	THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY 301 “ Just what was it, dear?'
hvd.hx5ch7	Tell me, now, where are your thoughts most of the time these days? ” “ Why — you know.
hvd.hx5ch7	The Ajax. ” “ And what garage did you put it in at Bronx- ville? ” “ My own, or rather the one belonging to the place.
hvd.hx5ch7	The Excelsior Club got a liberal supply of it?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Then he said: “'You say you bought the coat yourself?'
hvd.hx5ch7	They say that the murder occurred between eight and eight- thirty?".
hvd.hx5ch7	To be exact, he dined there. ” “ Did you see him again after that? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	Twenty years, was n't it?
hvd.hx5ch7	Unless he — what?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Was Mrs. Cox implicated, or did she accidentally arrive at a moment when she might encounter the man, and did encounter the woman?
hvd.hx5ch7	Was Mrs. Dalrymple with you? ” “ Why, man alive, of course she was with me.
hvd.hx5ch7	Was he a jealous husband, or was there collusion be- tween the man and woman?
hvd.hx5ch7	Was n't there a milkman, a delivery boy, or a janitor anywhere on this block? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	Was she ridiculing him?
hvd.hx5ch7	Was she tall or short? ” “ Sure, there was no call for me to measure 124 THE HOUSE OF CARDS her; but she was just tall enough, and not too tall.
hvd.hx5ch7	Was the party who remained at Barwood's house to op- erate the telephone a man or a woman? ” Burrell retired into his former reserve.
hvd.hx5ch7	What I want to know is — did you ever see any just exactly like Mrs. Wallace's? ”"No, not exactly like them, ” she told him.
hvd.hx5ch7	What can I do for you? ” Wallace sat down and regarded his visitor curiously.
hvd.hx5ch7	What chance had the little crab against that tremendous avalanche?
hvd.hx5ch7	What does he want with me?"
hvd.hx5ch7	What evidence?"
hvd.hx5ch7	What has Sidney got to do with it? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	What is it all about, and how did I happen to make that hideous mis- take?"
hvd.hx5ch7	What is it?
hvd.hx5ch7	What the deuce were they doing there at that time of the night?"
hvd.hx5ch7	What understanding did he possess that would warn him of the coming danger?
hvd.hx5ch7	What was it?'
hvd.hx5ch7	What was troubling Stephen?
hvd.hx5ch7	What's a little thing like a traffic law between friends?
hvd.hx5ch7	What's the use? ” “ Yours truly wo n't give it to the police for two reasons.
hvd.hx5ch7	When you win, is n't it all right to take a check and cash it?'
hvd.hx5ch7	Where were you at that time? ” 108 THE HOUSE OF CARDS"I was up in Bronxville, eating my breakfast.
hvd.hx5ch7	Where will her pretty clothes and her good times come from if I do n't stick to business? ” he protested warmly.
hvd.hx5ch7	Who knows how many respectable women have fallen into the snare?
hvd.hx5ch7	Who was with you? ” “ Nobody but Mrs. Dalrymple. ” “ What garage was your car in?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Who was with you? ” “ Nobody but Mrs. Dalrymple. ” “ What garage was your car in?"
hvd.hx5ch7	Whose signature?
hvd.hx5ch7	Whut you- all aimin'to do, Mistah? ” Macoy was quick to take advantage of this unexpected opening.
hvd.hx5ch7	Why add another joyless woman to the long list?
hvd.hx5ch7	Why claim my help? ” sar- castically.
hvd.hx5ch7	Why did n't somebody see her?
hvd.hx5ch7	Why did n't the police arrest her themselves?
hvd.hx5ch7	Why do n't you answer me, child? ” She rose and flung away'her cigarette, 90 THE HOUSE OF CARDS danger of a scandal is quite over.
hvd.hx5ch7	Why do n't you take Sidney and run away for a few days, and let the police look after the Bar- wood case?
hvd.hx5ch7	Why need there be a trial if I confess? ” she pleaded.
hvd.hx5ch7	Will you do so now?
hvd.hx5ch7	You did n't lose more than that, did you? ” Mrs. Lambert's tone was one of genuine distress.
hvd.hx5ch7	You did n't see anybody inside, or a face at the door? ” Blake pursued eagerly.
hvd.hx5ch7	You know Mr. Barwood's house, do n't you? ” “ Yas, sah, I knows it, ” admitted the fright- ened darkey.
hvd.hx5ch7	You know how it is — no, of course you do n't, how could you? ” he apologized.
hvd.hx5ch7	the reason money is so much freer at night than in the daytime?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Alone? ” he said.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And his manner?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And how long have you been steward of the Excelsior Club? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And no one came out of the house with her?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And now that our troubles are all over,'I said,'we will not play for money any more, will we?'
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And that there was a woman in the house when it occurred? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And that's all there is to the story, Mr. Knowles? ” the Inspector inquired guilelessly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And the housekeeper?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And the overcoat? ” “ Mine — but a perfectly innocent coat- as in- nocent as I am, ” he smiled reassuringly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And what did you think, ladies?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And who shot him?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And who was the other?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And you are going to arrest the woman? ” “ I ca n't state that positively, now,"he re- plied.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And you ca n't give me any further descrip- tion of her?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And you do n't know where she went? ” “ That I could n't know, sorr, unless I fol- lowed her, ” said Shanahan reproachfully.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ And you read about the Barwood murder AN EYE- WITNESS 241 and sent for me to tell me something about it?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Are you employing me, Mr. Wallace?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Are you good for a walk of a mile and a half? ” Macoy questioned.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Are you the cab driver?'
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Could Shanahan give any description of the two men? ” asked Kane.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Could it be, ” he said, “ that Barwood was the man to look after that end of it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Dammit, man, what do you want?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did she carry anything in her hand- any luggage? ” “ Not what you'd rightly call luggage.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you bring him home in his car at that time?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you clean the steps this morning? ” the Inspector continued persuasively.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you get any dope on who the other fu- neral directors were? ” Kane asked humorously.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you lose much?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you really take a man there too? ” he said, “ That ’s odd, is n't it? ” He tried to make his manner casual.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you really take a man there too? ” he said, “ That ’s odd, is n't it? ” He tried to make his manner casual.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you see Mrs. Cox when she came? ” the Inspector went on.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you see any one else at the house? ” “ I ca n't rightly say that I did or I did n't.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you see the man go into the house? ” “ No, he mus'a gwine in'fore I done got yeah,'cause I neber did saw him come.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you sell that other coat, Molossi? ” he inquired of a dapper young salesman standing near by.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Did you take anything away or conceal any- thing? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do I understand you that no living being but yourself has any knowledge of these two objects which you call clues? ” “ No one, ” he said.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do n't you know that you can be held as an accessory after the fact for letting that woman go? ” Kane made no attempt to conceal his vexation.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do n't you know the lady was Mrs. Lawson's sister? ”'probed the Inspector.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do n't you know what has happened? ” Mrs. Cox inquired.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do n't you realize, Mrs. Cox, ” her ques- tioner continued, “ that you have committed a very grave offense, if not a criminal one?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you consider them important? ”"The paper must surely be.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you have a key to this house? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you know what I am going to do? ” he questioned enthusiastically, standing, hat in hand, preparing to take his leave.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you know where to find a good tailor? ” “ Well, yes, I rather think I know the best of them, ” he responded promptly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you know whether the man who accom- panied him home entered the house? ” Kane continued to probe.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you like that? ” his eyes brightened.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you think I ever want to look a card in the face again?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you think the person who shot him stood as close to him as that? ” Kane asked doubt- fully.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you think you have played exactly safe? ” said Kane meaningly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Do you usually work as late as that and re- port again at ten o'clock in the morning? ” “ I have no regular hours.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Does my gown look com- mon?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Does n't look much like a family room, does THE TRAGEDY 13 it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Ever lent it?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Evidence?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Fifteen years — to be exact, fifteen years and one month. ” “ Was Mr. Barwood a member of the club?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Got anything?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Has something happened? ” he asked ea- gerly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Have n't we spent several thousand years in shaping the present- day woman?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Have you any idea where these people are now?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Have you any reason to connect the bead with the paper?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Have you any theories, Mr. Burrell? ” Kane asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Have you ever lost your key?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ He does n't seem so formidable, does he, Ellen? ” “ He does n't, somehow, look as terrible as I thought, ” responded Ellen.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How about that, Harding?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How can you say I am not? ” “ Well, losing, you know, is a part of the game, my dear, ” he reminded her.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How come she could see me?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How could I dream that you would come into pos- session of any knowledge of it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How definite? ” she asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How did it happen Mrs. Cox did n't see you pick up the money? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How did it work? ” “ Admirably.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How did the crooks ever get all that stuff out of the warehouse? ” Kane suddenly scented a reflection on the police department.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How did you get on the trail of Burrell? ” Kane inquired.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How do you know she did n't commit the crime?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How do you know? ” Kane ventured this question prepared for the evasion which fol- lowed.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How long after that did Mrs. Cox come out? ” Macoy continued.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ How long was Mrs. Cox in the house before she came out for the policeman?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ I really do n't, do I?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ I see, I see,"mused the Inspector, “ then this one did n't remind you of any one you had ever seen before? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ I suppose the doctor will notify the coro- ner?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Is he- is he dead? ” she whispered.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Is it the police that's after us?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Is n't there a quiet place on the shore some- where, where we could watch the sea? ” she sug- gested.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Is your name Shanahan? ” inquired Blake.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Just as soon as I came in. ” “ Did you give the alarm at once? ” “ Yes, sir, just as fast as I could go."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Lord, no, but what have clothes to do with a man?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Luncheon? ”'echoed her mistress.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Macoy, the reporter. ” “ That kid? ” rather contemptuously.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ My heart's in my mouth, my pulse is accelerated, and my tongue — what does a tongue do?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ No, he has n't been to the police or to any- body but me. ” “ And you- believed-1-shot- Barwood? ” “ Oh, Stephen, forgive me,"she groaned.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Not a detective, are you? ” he inquired.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Not much, ” he muttered, “ but who knows what it may lead to? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now are you ready, Turner?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now who was the man with the blue face that foiled the plan of Nature? ” “ That answers to the description of Dal- rymple, ” said Blake.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now will you answer my question? ” asked the Inspector.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now would you be so kind and accommodating as to tell me who did take care of it when there was one? ”"How come I know who- all took care of it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now would you be so kind and accommodating as to tell me who did take care of it when there was one? ”"How come I know who- all took care of it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now would you mind telling me where you and Mrs. Dalrymple were the night previous to the mur- der?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now, have you any other clues?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Now, then, Mrs. Cox, ” Inspector Kane be- gan,"you admit that your first statements were false?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Only one?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ See here, young man, are you arresting me? ” Dalrymple looked piercingly at the detec- tive.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ She did. ” “ Who did she remind you of? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Sidney, ” said Anne suddenly, “ Did you lose any money that night?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Slow spoken was it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Some one else suspects? ” he queried anx- iously."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ THE HUNCH ” 171 “ Hello, Jerry, have n't they arrested you yet? ” His salutation was wholly unpremedi- tated and without ulterior purpose.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Tell me, ” she urged gently, “ do you have to economize so much on your clothes?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ That overcoat,'he said, in a rasping, un- natural voice, whose is it?'
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Then I suppose you would n't remember whether the party in the house had any special connection with the man who left with Bar- wood?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Then what in the name of the devil were you shielding her for? ” Kane was growing more and more exasperated.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Then whose pistol is that? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Think anybody else got there ahead of you? ” There was a note of reproof in his voice.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ To be exact- yes, I know it. ” “ Had you ever seen the Brazilian banker be- fore?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Want to hear more, do you?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Was Mrs. Dalrymple with you? ” The spark of irritation kindled into flame.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Was the door locked when you arrived this morning?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Was the door unlocked? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Was this man who left with Barwood one of those who thought he had double- crossed'em? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Well — what then? ” prompted the District Attorney.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Well, Dooley, what is this you're after hav- ing here?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Well, what do you want of me?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Well, who knows but she did? ” said Kane knocking the ashes out of his pipe on the palm of his hand,"if she was there.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What I want to know, Steve, are the police apt to call for Barwood's papers?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What are you giving us Dooley?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What are you going to do with it? ” he in- quired.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What color was her wrap? ” “ Black, sorr, black it was, and black, too, was her veil.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What did she look like, Shanahan? ” “ Well, I could n't mostly say.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What did you think of her, Shanahan, was she a rounder? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What do you expect me to do with this confession, Nathalie?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What do you mean by"afterwards'-after I left the house? ” “ No, sir, it was while you were still in the house talking to all those people.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What do you mean, Nathalie? ” he asked quickly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What do you really think of Mrs. Cox? ” he suddenly asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What do you think, Coroner, about Mr. Bar- wood shooting himself?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What is it?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What is there funny about that?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What is your name?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What kind of a looking man was he?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What makes you think it was the same woman? ” “ Well, I used to drive them around together a good deal.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What makes you think they were not to- gether?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What sort of a man was it you took there, Shanahan? ” asked Blake.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What the devil do you mean, Inspector? ” inquired Burrell irritably.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What things do you know that you have n't told the police? ” sharply inquired the District Attorney.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What time did you get here? ” “ I opened the door at just half past eight."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What time did you go to Bronxville?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What time did you leave? ” “ At my usual time, half past five.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What time was it when he telephoned you? ” “ It was before one o'clock.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What time was that? ” The chauffeur's manner stiffened.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What time was that?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What was that, Mr. Knowles? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What was your question, Officer? ” Turner asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What would you say to another woman be- ing there that night, or the same woman twice? ” Blake bounded from his chair.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What's the matter with our women, Steve?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ What's the trouble? ” he asked the woman, eagerly.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ When did you last see Mr. Barwood? ” “ He came in about five o'clock yesterday. ” “ How did he appear?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ When did you last see Mr. Barwood? ” “ He came in about five o'clock yesterday. ” “ How did he appear?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ When did you see Mr. Barwood last, Mr. Dalrymple? ” “ Oh, I should think it was about two months ago at Bar Harbor."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ When was he there last, Mr. Burrell? ” “ On Tuesday, the day before he was — unfor- tunately, shot.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ When was that, Jerry? ” he man- aged to say, “ how long before Mrs. Cox came? ” “ Mos'no time'tall, ” Jerry declared.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ When was that, Jerry? ” he man- aged to say, “ how long before Mrs. Cox came? ” “ Mos'no time'tall, ” Jerry declared.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Where are they?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Where did she get out of the cab? ” “ At the Vanderbilt Avenue entrance, it was."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Where did you find it?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Where did you tell me you were when it hap- pened?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Where was he when he gave the order?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Where's your telephone? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who are Blake and Harding?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who are the stock- holders? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who are you, woman, that you should be the judge of whether or not she committed the crime? ” “ Nobody.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who are you, young man?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who else has keys? ” Dooley queried.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who else has keys?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who gave you the order? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who were they? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who will believe it is blackmail?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Who?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Why do you let anybody make you feel that 188 THE HOUSE OF CARDS way?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Why have n't you called the family? ” he asked.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Why, what makes you look so queer?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Will you send my card up immediately? ” he requested.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You are going to confess what, Nathalie? ” he gently urged.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You are sure of that? ”"Positively."
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You are the housekeeper here? ” he began.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You bought the liquor outright from the stockholders, then, and sold it to the club? ” “ Not so fast, Inspector.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You do n't mind confiding in me, do you? ” she urged, as she noticed a trifling hesitation in his manner.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You have found a witness who did see her enter before eight- thirty? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You have no idea who she was?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You imply that Mr. Barwood did n't want 22 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Look like a woman's job? ” “ Why do you ask that? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You imply that Mr. Barwood did n't want 22 THE HOUSE OF CARDS “ Look like a woman's job? ” “ Why do you ask that? ”.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You keep thinking about that, do n't you, Mrs. Grayson?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You mean —? ” he said.
hvd.hx5ch7	“ You see the trend of my thoughts, do n't you, Sherlock?
hvd.hx5ch7	“ Your telephone calls, now, Mr. Burrell, ” Kane went on, “ you may perhaps have a record of them?"
hvd.hx5ch7	“'Yes,'he said hoarsely,'whose is it?'
hvd.hxdlfk	- “ Five chambers loaded? ” she asked innocently, unsus- pectingly.
hvd.hxdlfk	. ” But Shirley was not yet satisfied, and went on to protest:- “ But what is it?
hvd.hxdlfk	. ” “ Bribery? ” asked the justice, somewhat startled.
hvd.hxdlfk	. ” “ Well? ” “ He ought to know it. ” “ What do I care about Murgatroyd!
hvd.hxdlfk	. ” “ What if he does? ” protested Broderick.
hvd.hxdlfk	. ” “ Why did you hide from me? ” quickly returned Shirley.
hvd.hxdlfk	116 THE RED MOUSE “ Then it is about this Challoner affair that you have come to see me? ” he asked tactlessly.
hvd.hxdlfk	162 THE RED MOUSE “ What ’s that? ” exclaimed Graham Thorne in af- fected astonishment.
hvd.hxdlfk	33 “ Good news?
hvd.hxdlfk	A fair fight and no favour — let ’s be de- cent. ” “ Why do n’t you get your ammunition in the open, then? ” asked the prosecutor.
hvd.hxdlfk	A woman with social ambitions loves a man with none; can she I24 THE RED MOUSE make him happy?
hvd.hxdlfk	After a second he answered: — “ Challoner. ” “ Laurie Challoner?
hvd.hxdlfk	Again, will you marry me? ”- “ Do n’t be silly!
hvd.hxdlfk	Ai n’t we got too far? ” After an instant of confusion, Shirley conceded the fact with a frank laugh.
hvd.hxdlfk	All right — only let me sleep when I get there, will you?
hvd.hxdlfk	Am I right? ” “ I ’m afraid you are, ” he answered dully.
hvd.hxdlfk	And he cried joyfully:- “ Confessed?
hvd.hxdlfk	And he did n’t have any when he went away? ” Miriam wept.
hvd.hxdlfk	And if I should — where is the inducement?
hvd.hxdlfk	And other houses as well as Cradlebaugh ’s have an opening on that street, have n’t they?
hvd.hxdlfk	And should he hold a mere slip of a girl responsible for putting into words what every woman thinks?
hvd.hxdlfk	And yet after a little while she began to wonder whether his conscience troubled him — whether it had cost him anything?
hvd.hxdlfk	Are n’t you ashamed, Mir- iam?
hvd.hxdlfk	Are you retained?
hvd.hxdlfk	As a busi- ness, ” he went on, “ what can be more profitable than concrete?
hvd.hxdlfk	As for Shirley?
hvd.hxdlfk	At once a hardness crept into her voice, and she asked coldly: — “ For whom? ” And for a moment she delayed pull- ing off her wraps.
hvd.hxdlfk	At the window of this room, which was bedroom and living- room com- THE RED MOUSE 193 “ Well?
hvd.hxdlfk	Broderick gasped: “ W – what? ” Pemmican drew himself together.
hvd.hxdlfk	But again Murgatroyd persisted: — “ What of Mrs. Challoner? ” “ I ’ll take care of Mrs. Challoner, ” responded Thorne.
hvd.hxdlfk	But perhaps Murgatroyd did n’t smite those chaps hip and thigh You know what it meant, do n’t you?
hvd.hxdlfk	But what does he want? ” Stevens shook his head, for they were now well in hearing.
hvd.hxdlfk	But what of it? ” asked Shirley and Miriam in one breath.
hvd.hxdlfk	But what of that?
hvd.hxdlfk	But where could she find the man in whom she could put her faith?
hvd.hxdlfk	But why am I kept locked up in this house of detention? ” McGrath grinned and spoke for the prosecutor.
hvd.hxdlfk	But why did n’t you say so before? ” Miriam smiled softly.
hvd.hxdlfk	By the way, Mixley, ” he added, “ take this carbon copy over to Thorne, will you?
hvd.hxdlfk	By the way, Pemmican, perhaps you do n’t know that Challoner has confessed? ” Pemmican ’s physiognomy lost its doleful appear- ance.
hvd.hxdlfk	Can the butterfly make a book- worm happy, much as she may love him?
hvd.hxdlfk	Chal- loner quarrelled with Colonel Hargraves 35 “ What about? ” asked Shirley impulsively.
hvd.hxdlfk	Challoner caught it “ on the fly. ” “ Do you recognise that? ” Murgatroyd demanded.
hvd.hxdlfk	Challoner, what do you mean by this?
hvd.hxdlfk	Confessed?
hvd.hxdlfk	Do you know what happened there last night? ” Thorne smiled grimly and pointed to the pile of morning papers on his desk.
hvd.hxdlfk	Do you recall the compact made nearly six years ago? ” “ Yes, yes, ” she answered, in a manner that showed plainly her desire to conciliate him.
hvd.hxdlfk	Do you think that he do n’t know how to mix concrete?
hvd.hxdlfk	Do you understand me? ” “ Perfectly, ” was Challoner's reply.
hvd.hxdlfk	Do you understand? ” he declared emphat- ically.
hvd.hxdlfk	Finally he inquired: — “ What did you do? ” The desk- sergeant grinned.
hvd.hxdlfk	Found? ” To the great surprise of the prosecutor no emotions other than joy and relief were visible on the woman ’s face.
hvd.hxdlfk	Hang the luck! ” “ How can it be helped? ” reasoned McGrath.
hvd.hxdlfk	Happy? ” she re- peated as she nestled closer to him.
hvd.hxdlfk	He ’ll want to see it. ” “ Shall I tell him? ” faltered Mixley.
hvd.hxdlfk	Her grasp became a clutch as she repeated: — “ What have you got to say to me?
hvd.hxdlfk	How do you feel? ” The prisoner, still half man, growled: — “ Better.
hvd.hxdlfk	How many barrels of cement a day?
hvd.hxdlfk	I do n’t know what it is — what is it, anyhow? ” he gulped.
hvd.hxdlfk	I had promised, do n’t you See? ” “ That was clever in Murgatroyd, ” admitted Shir- ley.
hvd.hxdlfk	I pulled that gun and fired at him point blank! ” “ And then? ” THE RED MOUSE 111 “ I killed him; and I would do it over again, I assure you.
hvd.hxdlfk	I say, what do you think the votes of the “ wise ’ assemblymen were quoted at — on the market last night? ” “ I do n’t know.
hvd.hxdlfk	I want you to tell me what it is. ” “ What is it, Shirley? ” asked Miriam, bringing it closer to the light.
hvd.hxdlfk	If I did take the money, what in the world have I done with it — tell me that?
hvd.hxdlfk	If I win, I keep the ten thou- sand — and my chances. ” “ And if you do n’t win? ” a bit breathlessly.
hvd.hxdlfk	Is n’t that it? ” “ I do n’t want the captain to work it out on any theory! ” yelled Broderick.
hvd.hxdlfk	Is that right?
hvd.hxdlfk	It was the Ter- williger tract — I was chairman of the common coun- cil, finance committee, you remember?
hvd.hxdlfk	Look here — do you know who killed Hargraves? ” “ No. ” “ Does anybody know? ” “ Not yet. ” “ So far so good.
hvd.hxdlfk	Look here — do you know who killed Hargraves? ” “ No. ” “ Does anybody know? ” “ Not yet. ” “ So far so good.
hvd.hxdlfk	MEPHISTOPHELEs Wherefore forsakest thou the lovely maiden That in the dance so sweetly sang?
hvd.hxdlfk	Marriage would not make me happy; it would 92 be misery “ Misery? ” he snatched the word from her lips.
hvd.hxdlfk	Mixley, still lingering, now asked: — “ Any news from the Court of Errors and Ap- peals? ” Murgatroyd nodded.
hvd.hxdlfk	Murgatroyd? ” The tone was one of surprise.
hvd.hxdlfk	Now ca n’t you see what it would mean if we tried the experiment of mar- riage?
hvd.hxdlfk	Now, then, that ’s a dark street, is n’t it?
hvd.hxdlfk	Prosecutor, what have you got to say? ” asked the Court, a trifle apologetically.
hvd.hxdlfk	Prosecutor? ” a little scornfully.
hvd.hxdlfk	She spoke as though in a trance: – 122 THE RED MOUSE “ Can you understand me when I say that I have got to have something more than love?
hvd.hxdlfk	Shirley, THE RED MOUSE 187 “ How did he kill himself? ” “ Cyanide!
hvd.hxdlfk	Somehow, she had fallen grievously in her own estimation'And society ’s estimation?
hvd.hxdlfk	Suddenly a voice from overhead broke in upon his thoughts with: — “ Front entrance, sir? ” Challoner started.
hvd.hxdlfk	Suddenly he said: — “ But somebody killed Hargraves — who did it? ” The prosecutor looked at the man incredulously.
hvd.hxdlfk	THE RED MOUSE 103 “ Are you James Lawrence Challoner? ” asked Mixley loudly, peremptorily.
hvd.hxdlfk	THE RED MOUSE 117 “ I suppose you realise that this thing is going to kill Miriam Challoner? ” The man shook his head vigorously.
hvd.hxdlfk	The fruit was devoured; of what value was the rind?
hvd.hxdlfk	Then I ’m the first to announce it?
hvd.hxdlfk	Then turning to Mrs. Challoner, he went on in the same tone: – “ Do you see these seals? ” “ Yes, ” she whispered.
hvd.hxdlfk	There was a hungry look in the man ’s eyes as he spoke:- “ And if I do?
hvd.hxdlfk	This is n’t a case for the police — not yet. ” “ Then for who? ” The desk- sergeant looked dubious.
hvd.hxdlfk	Thorne, ” said the Court, “ if this charge be made in good faith, and even assuming it to be liter- ally true, is n’t the prosecutor right?
hvd.hxdlfk	Two more barrels of cement go in there — do you understand? ” But the mixer merely grinned.
hvd.hxdlfk	Was not that the mod- ern idea — the spirit of the age?
hvd.hxdlfk	We ’ve gone and got married! ” “ Married?
hvd.hxdlfk	Well, and why not?
hvd.hxdlfk	What are they saying? ” she went on, nestling closer to him.
hvd.hxdlfk	What can I do for you? ” For a moment Mrs. Challoner did not answer, but looked suspiciously about to see whether any one else was present.
hvd.hxdlfk	What do you smell? ” Mrs. Challoner smiled faintly.
hvd.hxdlfk	What does he want, Stevens? ” She was plainly excited.
hvd.hxdlfk	What for, pray? ” º “ For blurting out in the court- room what I did when the jury found Laurie guilty.
hvd.hxdlfk	What frauds? ” “ Why, where have you been that you have n’t seen the papers? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdlfk	What frauds? ” “ Why, where have you been that you have n’t seen the papers? ” he inquired.
hvd.hxdlfk	What good news? ” Miriam asked in- credulously.
hvd.hxdlfk	What has he made of it?
hvd.hxdlfk	What have you got to say? ” Murgatroyd looked at her, but he did not answer.
hvd.hxdlfk	What is it? ” There was no answer.
hvd.hxdlfk	What is money?
hvd.hxdlfk	What with? ’ ” “ With your ten thousand! ” It was well said.
hvd.hxdlfk	What ’s your price?
hvd.hxdlfk	Who might he be?
hvd.hxdlfk	Why did n't you tell me? ”.
hvd.hxdlfk	Why did n’t you say so before?
hvd.hxdlfk	Why did n’t you tell me, Mr. Challoner? ” “ I did n’t know it, ” Challoner told him shortly.
hvd.hxdlfk	Why do you ask? ” Mrs. Challoner wrung her hands; she seemed uncer- tain how to proceed.
hvd.hxdlfk	Why should we?
hvd.hxdlfk	Why, look at me? ” he went on glibly, “ I ’ve been in a lot of deals; but that gets me!
hvd.hxdlfk	Why?
hvd.hxdlfk	Why?
hvd.hxdlfk	William Murgatroyd?
hvd.hxdlfk	Wo n’t you wait, please? ” Mrs. Challoner answered for the girl: — “ Shirley, do n’t be in any hurry.
hvd.hxdlfk	Work?
hvd.hxdlfk	You agree? ” Mrs. Challoner bowed.
hvd.hxdlfk	You seen us take this here firearm from Mr. Chal- loner just now, did n’t you? ” Miriam and Shirley nodded in acknowledgment.
hvd.hxdlfk	You understand the terms?
hvd.hxdlfk	You understand? ” “ He sure does kick, ” laughed McGrath.
hvd.hxdlfk	You will — won’t you? ” There was a suspicion of moisture in the girl ’s eyes.
hvd.hxdlfk	You — you do n’t think him guilty, Mr. Mur- gatroyd? ” Murgatroyd walked toward the door.
hvd.hxdlfk	You ’re fair and we ’re fair — see? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlfk	You ’re going to bring that fifty dollars back here to me! ” “ Indeed?
hvd.hxdlfk	You ’ve got Challoner outside? ” the prosecutor asked.
hvd.hxdlfk	You ’ve paid me well, but you ’ve had blamed good returns for it, have n’t you?
hvd.hxdlfk	You'll go on his bond, wo n’t you? ” she asked with a wan smile.
hvd.hxdlfk	Your Honour! ” 164 THE RED MOUSE “ What is it, Madam? ” asked the justice.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ And I ’ll find you waiting for me? ” “ At the top of the hill, Billy! ” She held out her hand.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ And Laurie — how is he? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ And Mr. Murgatroyd sanctions such methods — will use us for evidence — make a case by us? ” But even then Miriam did not understand.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ And have I failed as yet? ” “ Yes, ” she answered fiercely.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ And that ’s all you have? ” he asked a moment later.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ And you — what are you doing here? ” she asked quickly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Are n’t you going to join the family circle, Laurie? ” the prosecutor said lightly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ At Gravesend? ” Pemmican looked long and quizzically into Chal- loner ’s eyes.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Bribery? ” For an instant there was a subdued uproar.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But how about him? ” The girl shook her head and answered somewhat sadly:- “ I know, I know, she ’s blind to everything, Miriam is.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But the people — the people believe in me? ” Shirley smiled again in spite of herself.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But what about the wall? ” Challoner asked himself when once more alone.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But why did you come? ” Miriam kept on protest- ing.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But why? ” he faltered, turning his eyes inquisi- tively on her.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But you know where she went? ” he asked mean- ingly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But — you do n’t want money? ” he protested.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ But — you want to, do n’t you? ” “ Indeed I do not! ” returned Broderick, indignantly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ By this conviction! ” “ What was our compact? ” he asked sternly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Can the girl who must have money make a poor man happy, much as she may love him?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Can you stand it, dear? ” “ What is it? ” asked his young wife, trembling with the horror of it all.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Can you stand it, dear? ” “ What is it? ” asked his young wife, trembling with the horror of it all.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Concrete? ” “ Yes, ” answered Challoner enthusiastically.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Could he have anything to do — with the case? ” she gulped.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Do n’t you hear the newsboys?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Do n’t you hear voices below?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Do you mean this, Murgatroyd? ” he queried.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Do you see this? ” He grunted fearlessly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Do you think that I do n’t know it ’s a crisis? ” He went back to his desk, drew forth a cheque- book and wrote a cheque.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ For three days you have been away — where have you been? ” The necessity for saying something alone was responsible for the question.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Frauds?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Gentlemen of the jury, ” said the clerk rapidly, “ have you agreed upon your verdict? ” “ We have, ” came in chorus.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Guilty of what? ” queried the Court impatiently.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Hargraves murder? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Has he talked? ” Murgatroyd asked, standing over Challoner.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Have n’t I ambition?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ He told you that? ” “ Yes — before he got the money. ” Mrs. Challoner deprecated.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ He understands that you ’re counsel for Cradlebaugh’s — see? ”!
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Here ’s their opinion — just handed down. ” “ Reversal? ” Murgatroyd shook his head.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ How did you come out? ” he asked, much to the other ’s surprise.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ How long? ” he inquired, thrusting in his head, by way of greeting to the group at the table.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ How much have you got left? ” responded Brod- erick.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ How much?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ How's the joint ballot? ” called Mixley from across the room.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ I did n’t know that you were in on that. ” “ In on it? ” snorted Broderick.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ I prefer to see a man do with a good grace that which he has to do. ” “ And who has got to do? ” queried Broderick, also rising.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ I suppose, of course, that you have had the report that your husband has been found in Chicago? ” “ What!
hvd.hxdlfk	“ I took it?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ I tried to bribe him, but 99 “ Bribe him How?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ If I win, ” at last he said with great earnestness, “ you will swear to leave me — you will leave us alone? ” Challoner nodded.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ If Murgatroyd comes here, ” suggested Broderick, “ or sends for you, you keep mum — do you under- stand?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Is that you, Letty? ” the voice went on.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Is the thing loaded? ” queried McGrath.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Is there more comin ’? ” questioned Broderick, with a howl.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ It is subject to mortgage, then? ” “ Of course, ” she answered glibly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ It was you, my dear, who saved it. ” “ I? ” returned Miriam, who never seemed happier than when sacrificing herself.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ It ’s in my room, Madam. ” “ With the other notables? ” And Letty Love lifted her eyebrows.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Know it?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Look at this here figure on this here gun, will you, ma’am?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Miriam, what are you saying?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Murgatroyd, ” he cried fiercely, with an injured air, “ what ’s this?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ My home — only. ” “ But that ’s mortgaged, I understand? ” There was more than idle curiosity in the speaker's eyes.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Never told you?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ No; but have n’t you? ” Thorne shook his head.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Now just where did this thing happen? ” 60 THE RED MOUSE Pemmican looked at the captain, at Broderick and then at Thorne before answering.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Oh, Mr. Challoner, ” she cried, springing forward, “ why did you tell him? ”- “ Come on P ’ Challoner called out gruffly to the men.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Oh, Mrs. Challoner, ” then spoke up Foster, “ what do you think?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Oh, that?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Pemmican? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Precisely. ” “ Why not emulate Mr. Thorne and get both?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Rather like putting up something that does n’t be- long to you, eh, Challoner? ” Challoner was not feazed; it was the answer he ex- pected.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Same, sir, I suppose? ” asked the boy.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Say you ’ll forgive me, Laurie, dear? ” His answer was a snore.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Shirley, are n’t you hard on Murgatroyd?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Surely you ’re not going to detain me any longer? ” whispered Pemmican to the officers who had placed themselves on either side of him.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ The captain wants to know what he ’s to do about this Hargraves murder? ” Broderick stared hard at him.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Then come 74 THE RED MOUSE back, but do n’t leave me to- night — you'll stay, wo n't you? ” “ Yes, ” the girl assured her.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Thorne, ” he exclaimed, lounging back comfortably in a chair, “ have you seen about this thing?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Unbroken, are they not? ” “ Yes, ” again she assented faintly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Want to see me? ” he inquired suavely.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Was Colonel Hargraves down there alone? ” His voice was thick, hoarse.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Well, then, you know what is inside of them; I do not. ” “ I? — ” faltered Miriam.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Well, what of it? ” “ Give me that money, ” she insisted, approaching him.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Well, why do n’t the rest of you come in? ” Chal- loner growled, fastening his eyes on the woman.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What Har- graves? ” The sergeant told him.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What about? ” “ Money, ” admitted the conscience- stricken woman — “ money.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What am I going to do?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What are the proper concrete proportions? ” was.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What are you doing? ” exclaimed Foster with in- 68 THE RED MOUSE dignation, but made no attempt to release herself from his embrace.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What are you gettin'at? ” 242 THE RED MOUSE Murgatroyd opened a drawer within his desk and took out a bulky batch of papers.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What are you going to do? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What are you looking at? ” Murgatroyd asked.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What do you think, chief? ” asked McGrath of Murgatroyd, one day after the appeal had been argued.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What do you want of me? ” he broke in sud- denly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What have you been hiding from me for the past few weeks, Miriam? ” presently asked Challoner.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What have you been putting away there every night for the last few weeks?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What have you left? ” he ventured.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What is in them? ” she asked in be- wilderment.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What is it?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What kind of work? ” “ Tell her about your invention, Laurie, ” suggested his young wife with pride.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What now, Thorne, what now? ” “ Most unfair, ” repeated the other counsellor- at- law.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What ’s that? ” she started suddenly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What's Peter Broderick got to do with it? ” inquired the desk- sergeant, still doubtful.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What's the matter with you? ” he whispered, at the same time placing his arm about her.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What? ” McGrath nodded.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What? ” came from Miriam Challoner shrilly; and the next moment all the colour had left her face; she was pale as death.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ What? ” came from the clogged brain of Challoner.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Where have you been all this time? ” he queried.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Where? ” returned Pemmican, as if he had misun- derstood.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Which one? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Who did it? ” wailed Foster.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Who did this thing? ” asked Thorne.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Who do you say shall answer for you? ” The eleven men pointed toward their foreman.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Who the deuce is Pem- mican? ” “ Thunderation! ” burst from the lips of McGrath.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Who wo n’t go your bail? ” he queried interestedly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Who ’s saying all this?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Why are n’t you more of a gentleman — where ’s your man- ners?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Why bless me, did n’t you know?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Why do n’t you try Colonel Hargraves? ” whispered the latter.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Why, I thought you liked him, Shirley? ” The girl hunched her shoulders expressively.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Will I ever be anythin ’ else? ” Murgatroyd continued to reprove him.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ With the ‘ ginneys ’? ”- “ With the “ ginneys, ’ ” assented Challoner.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Yes, yes, ” returned the girl, “ but do n’t you think we had better warn him?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ Yes? ” said Shirley eagerly.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ You here? ” Shirley held out her hand.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ You left them outside, Stevens? ” Miriam was calm and apparently in full control of herself now.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ You may investigate it, if you like — no? ” And dismissing the maid, went over to the piano and began to strum the refrain of a popular song.
hvd.hxdlfk	“ You want to take me into custody?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ You would n’t give him any money?
hvd.hxdlfk	“ You ’ve done as I instructed?

hvd.hxdkzt	- 41 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ Your Excellency surely does not mean to give it away?
hvd.hxdkzt	19 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY Are only the bare walls left?
hvd.hxdkzt	234 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ Then will you tell me who was talking to you a few minutes ago?
hvd.hxdkzt	254 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY Could you reach those beams if I gave you a back? ” He did not answer.
hvd.hxdkzt	82 CHAPTER VIII “ DID you see the London Times of let me see — I believe it was the day before yesterday? ” asked St. Hilary presently.
hvd.hxdkzt	All the rooms? ” The old man bowed.
hvd.hxdkzt	An interest that conflicts with mine, for instance? ” and he looked at me curi- ously.
hvd.hxdkzt	And Isaiah said, Shall the shadow of the dial go back ten degrees or shall the shadow go forward?
hvd.hxdkzt	And Jacque- line herself?
hvd.hxdkzt	And always on the lookout for himself, hein? ” The duke's apartments were almost empty of furniture.
hvd.hxdkzt	And as he fled, the goldsmith called after him very bitterly: “ Did I not say thou wert a fool?
hvd.hxdkzt	And had she not said that the duke was hunting for it without a mo- ment's rest?
hvd.hxdkzt	And how did you receive this request?
hvd.hxdkzt	And if I do find it, Jacqueline? ” “ I shall be so glad, ” she said shyly.
hvd.hxdkzt	And if I were to confess that this old clock interests me beyond belief, why should you not satisfy my curiosity?
hvd.hxdkzt	And if you sent instructions that the box was to be put carefully away until your return? ” “ My dear fellow, you are a jewel of thought- fulness.
hvd.hxdkzt	And if, still later, the duke discovered that St. Hilary had paid this midnight visit to his room?
hvd.hxdkzt	And now what will madame choose? ” “ Could I examine that decrepit old clock in the hidden room again?
hvd.hxdkzt	And now what will madame choose? ” “ Could I examine that decrepit old clock in the hidden room again?
hvd.hxdkzt	And on the background was there not something in bas- relief?
hvd.hxdkzt	And sup- posing that I could tell them the very hiding- place, would one of all those hundreds, even the poorest, take the trouble to go and see?
hvd.hxdkzt	And this was the VerSe: And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign?
hvd.hxdkzt	And was I really interested in writing the book — that is, for its own sake?
hvd.hxdkzt	And what kind of a duke is this gentle- man? ” “ Of the very flower of the Italian nobility.
hvd.hxdkzt	And where? ” “ To an old Venetian palace on the Grand Canal.
hvd.hxdkzt	And, indeed, when one came to think over the matter calmly, was it worth while attempting to discover one?
hvd.hxdkzt	Are you going to find fault because it has been set going without any trouble or delay?
hvd.hxdkzt	Aside from the extraneous aids of the directory, what methods would a postmaster use?
hvd.hxdkzt	At home with the keys? ” He looked at me with half- shut eyes.
hvd.hxdkzt	Because I had taken her pre- cisely at her word, surely she would not find fault with that?
hvd.hxdkzt	Because I have said nothing, Jacqueline, have you thought me idle and indifferent?
hvd.hxdkzt	Below waits the confederate. ” “ And this confederate? ” I asked breathlessly.
hvd.hxdkzt	But Jacqueline?
hvd.hxdkzt	But after discovering me, would he think it likely that I should return to continue the search?
hvd.hxdkzt	But did any one believe him?
hvd.hxdkzt	But if he had not done so, how would he attempt to escape from me?
hvd.hxdkzt	But if this were true — if these stories were indeed the key — was the riddle easier of solu- tion?
hvd.hxdkzt	But so few of us have faith. ” “ And have you your information as well as your abundant faith, St. Hilary? ” I inquired with mock solicitude.
hvd.hxdkzt	But the camera? ” “ I have a very good one with an admirable lens.
hvd.hxdkzt	But the other scenes — would they be equally clear?
hvd.hxdkzt	But the thief was his confidential Clerk. ” “ Who else should know so well the combina- tion of the safe? ” I asked indifferently.
hvd.hxdkzt	But was it all?
hvd.hxdkzt	But we know that his fortune was completely tied up in the jewels. ” “ But why did he not pawn the jewels? ” I interrupted.
hvd.hxdkzt	But why is Venice in that regard more mysteri- ous than other great cities? ” I thought Mrs. Gordon right.
hvd.hxdkzt	But why, I wonder, did da Sestos lead us to this landmark by the way of the House of the Angel?
hvd.hxdkzt	But why?
hvd.hxdkzt	But, Jacqueline, is your answer quite final?
hvd.hxdkzt	But, oh, so unconsciously. ” “ You encouraged him unconsciously?
hvd.hxdkzt	By the way, I met the duke on the Riva as I was going to the station to meet you. ” “ Indeed? ” I said indifferently.
hvd.hxdkzt	CHAPTER VII “ SHALL we now proceed to chapter two? ” he asked presently.
hvd.hxdkzt	Can I say nothing that will influence you? ” She gathered her shawl about her, and looked 120 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY at me with stony indifference.
hvd.hxdkzt	Capitall I had quite for- gotten my errand. ” “ And that is? ” “ To deprive you of my clock, my friend.
hvd.hxdkzt	Certainly we must go to that ball. ” “ Without an invitation, and costumes? ” “ Assuredly not.
hvd.hxdkzt	Come, is that not sportsmanlike? ” “ Hardly, ” I replied, laughing again.
hvd.hxdkzt	Could I do that?
hvd.hxdkzt	Could I watch St. Hilary steadily going on with the search and be quite indifferent as to his success or failure?
hvd.hxdkzt	Could he travel thus without attracting atten- tion?
hvd.hxdkzt	Could that make you love him more than you do at present? ” “ Why should it not? ” she answered, a little defiantly.
hvd.hxdkzt	Could that make you love him more than you do at present? ” “ Why should it not? ” she answered, a little defiantly.
hvd.hxdkzt	Da Sestos was the thief? ” “ Consider for a moment the character of this Messer Giovanni.
hvd.hxdkzt	Dare I put the most favorable meaning into the message?
hvd.hxdkzt	Dear Jacque- line, I had left one thing out of my calculations in building this fool's paradise. ” “ And that? ” Jacqueline looked troubled.
hvd.hxdkzt	Did it afford you so much pleasure to play with me, to tease me, that you pushed your game so dan- gerously far?
hvd.hxdkzt	Do n’t you think that was in extremely bad taste? ” “ My dear fellow, desperate cases require des- perate remedies. ”.
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you forget that we were to telegraph Madame Gordon in St. Petersburg?
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you get the idea? ” “ It sounds reasonable, ” I replied thought- fully.
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you hear?
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you know if there is any legend connected with the clock? ” The old man hesitated.
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you see nothing peculiar about that camel's head? ” I took the magnifying- glass and studied the photograph carefully.
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you think we shall find them on the pavement?
hvd.hxdkzt	Do you trust him more than you trust me?
hvd.hxdkzt	Does not that keep me in your thoughts?
hvd.hxdkzt	Even if she had any doubts, how could she prove them?
hvd.hxdkzt	Fie, fiel ” “ You are not going to steal the costumes and the tickets? ” I cried in dismay.
hvd.hxdkzt	For what goldsmith could not be bribed to Swear to such a story?
hvd.hxdkzt	For, though the casket were lost, did I not make a greater marvel?
hvd.hxdkzt	Granting, then, that he is mad, in what form will this madness manifest itself?
hvd.hxdkzt	Had Jacque- line confessed to her aunt her love for me?
hvd.hxdkzt	Had he really known that I was here, or was he lying as usual?
hvd.hxdkzt	Had he seen me come out of the house?
hvd.hxdkzt	Had she not regretted, with a hint of reproach in her words that still rankled, that my search for the casket had been so fruitless of results?
hvd.hxdkzt	Has every temple been ravaged?
hvd.hxdkzt	Has the vandal prowled in the very holy of holies?
hvd.hxdkzt	Have I not said that the jewels remain in Venice to this day?
hvd.hxdkzt	Have you a rope?
hvd.hxdkzt	Have you any interest in it?
hvd.hxdkzt	Have you never heard how the Hermes of Praxiteles was discovered? ” She shook her head.
hvd.hxdkzt	He attempts the impossible gladly, and sometimes I think he will accom- plish it. ” “ The duke has been searching for the casket?
hvd.hxdkzt	He has 264 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ But where does the window lead? ” I de- manded.
hvd.hxdkzt	He has a villa there. ” “ So you have no trace of the missing papers? ” “ No trace, ” he replied gloomily.
hvd.hxdkzt	He is an American. ” “ His name? ” “ St.
hvd.hxdkzt	Here, in Venice? ” “ Yes, and without a moment's rest, so he assures me.
hvd.hxdkzt	Hil- ary played fair? ” “ So far as I know, ” replied the duke indif- ferently.
hvd.hxdkzt	Hilary! ” I cried with affected gaiety, “ what brings you here at two o'clock in the morning? ” “ Ah, what! ” he grumbled.
hvd.hxdkzt	How can we be sure which numbers count, and which do not? ” “ We can not be sure, I suppose, ” I replied thoughtfully.
hvd.hxdkzt	How could I be sure that his send- ing me off to St. Petersburg was not a ruse to get me conveniently out of the way?
hvd.hxdkzt	How did you come to know about the Diary of Sanudo?
hvd.hxdkzt	How did you guess that the clock was in the da Sestos palace?
hvd.hxdkzt	I am beginning to think that it is valuable when people break into my rooms to observe it. ” “ Break into your rooms? ” He looked at me angrily.
hvd.hxdkzt	I am glad you had wit enough not to speak. ” “ And now? ” I asked impatiently.
hvd.hxdkzt	I began to wonder, at last, if he did not really love me. ” “ Had you never been sure that I really loved you, Jacqueline? ” I asked sadly.
hvd.hxdkzt	I called 131 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ And have you found out that it is not, after all, an automaton clock? ”- “ My dear fellow, be reasonable.
hvd.hxdkzt	I do need help; but could you go to extreme ends with me patiently and relentlessly?
hvd.hxdkzt	I have not taken too great a liberty? ” he said in French.
hvd.hxdkzt	I promised you I would not be- tray myself; but could you have lain quiet in my place? ” “ Of course I could, ” he mumbled.
hvd.hxdkzt	I shall be late for luncheon, and I have an appointment at three. ” “ Then I sha’n’t see you this afternoon? ” “ Perhaps.
hvd.hxdkzt	I thrust the rays of the candle at the little doorway, and I saw — what?
hvd.hxdkzt	I want you to release me from it. ” “ It is leading you from me? ” she repeated wonderingly.
hvd.hxdkzt	I will not keep you long. ” “ Well, Dick, what is it? ” she asked when she was seated.
hvd.hxdkzt	If I had not kept that sacred tryst, was it not because in failing to do so I was really serving her?
hvd.hxdkzt	If I shared it with you, could you bring to it these qualities? ” “ Try me, ” I said firmly.
hvd.hxdkzt	If I trust you now, will you follow where I shall lead? ” “ Try me, ” I said again.
hvd.hxdkzt	If he has the luck to stumble on this casket, will that prove that he is more worthy 182 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY of your regard than I?
hvd.hxdkzt	If it were sent to a wrong address, by mistake, or to your shop, for example?
hvd.hxdkzt	In that cabinet, behind the por- tière there?
hvd.hxdkzt	In what other way might I read a meaning into the numbers?
hvd.hxdkzt	Interesting old palace, eh? ” I nodded, and blew a cloud of cigarette- smoke into the air.
hvd.hxdkzt	Is his enemy to triumph at last?
hvd.hxdkzt	Is it any wonder that, after all, one is a slave to the beauty of this Venice?
hvd.hxdkzt	Is it because that Mr. Hume made me ridiculous before you?
hvd.hxdkzt	Is that fair? ” 7 91 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ It is more than fair. ” “ That's settled then.
hvd.hxdkzt	Is that what you mean? ” “ I asked myself naturally that.
hvd.hxdkzt	Is there in the whole world anything inanimate so graceful, so almost alive, so light and so cruelly sharp and strong as the prow of a gondola?
hvd.hxdkzt	It is full of interest. ” 216 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ The Caesarini Palace, you said, I think? ” inquired St. Hilary, still scribbling.
hvd.hxdkzt	It is the third back. ” “ The third back? ” I repeated mechanically.
hvd.hxdkzt	Look at the 173 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ Are you not a little too sanguine, St. Hilary?
hvd.hxdkzt	May I trouble you to ring the bell near that window?
hvd.hxdkzt	Might he dare, would I think it too presuming, if he asked me for the loan of ten lire until to- morrow?
hvd.hxdkzt	No. ” “ Then who can have been in my rooms? ” I heard St. Hilary chuckle in the darkness.
hvd.hxdkzt	Now that my cards are on the table, what have you done with the clock? ” “ Is that what you call being frank?
hvd.hxdkzt	Now that my cards are on the table, what have you done with the clock? ” “ Is that what you call being frank?
hvd.hxdkzt	Now, at least, we know what not to look for. ” “ The automata themselves, then, hold the Secret? ” “ So far as we can tell at present.
hvd.hxdkzt	Of what use could a dial be under a roof?
hvd.hxdkzt	Oh, they will gladly oblige me, those young gentlemen. ” “ But why? ” “ Why, my friend?
hvd.hxdkzt	Oh, they will gladly oblige me, those young gentlemen. ” “ But why? ” “ Why, my friend?
hvd.hxdkzt	Only the very skel- etons of all that pride of the flesh?
hvd.hxdkzt	Or did you not guess?
hvd.hxdkzt	Or had he some purpose more useful than that?
hvd.hxdkzt	Or that superb cloisonné Kioto vase?
hvd.hxdkzt	Or would he ridicule it?
hvd.hxdkzt	Petersburg? ” I demanded stormily.
hvd.hxdkzt	Return your love?
hvd.hxdkzt	Shall we go at once? ” 28 CHAPTER III THE Palazzo da Sestos was for many years one of the sights of the Grand Canal.
hvd.hxdkzt	Shall we go to the reception- rooms again?
hvd.hxdkzt	She pawned them to the Doge of Venice to raise money for her husband's army. ” “ And they have absolutely disappeared? ” I insisted.
hvd.hxdkzt	Should I never have regrets that I had not kept at it a little longer?
hvd.hxdkzt	Simply to gloat over me?
hvd.hxdkzt	So you have actually discovered a hidden chamber? ” “ Quite what one might expect in an old Vene- tian palace, ” added Mrs. Gordon.
hvd.hxdkzt	St. Hilary, ” expostulated Mrs. Gor- don severely, “ you would not have had him do otherwise? ” “ I suppose not.
hvd.hxdkzt	Supposing that the duke should bring you this casket, could that possibly 181 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY alter your feeling toward him?
hvd.hxdkzt	Surely we are not the first to attempt 95 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY to solve the secret of the hours?
hvd.hxdkzt	THE CLOCK AND THE KEY me, what would the duke naturally infer?
hvd.hxdkzt	Tell me why you refuse to keep your word?
hvd.hxdkzt	That is to be ex- pected of a nobleman of his rank. ” “ Then, Mrs. Gordon, may I ask just what you do mean? ” I inquired suavely.
hvd.hxdkzt	The broken feather was point- ing, as it were a human hand, straight to a round 92 “ Not another round hat? ” I cried in despair.
hvd.hxdkzt	The connection between this envelope, for instance, and the da Sestos casket? ” “ Call Venice the state; the city, the Grand Canal.
hvd.hxdkzt	The other door to that passage is just to the right of your chair. ” “ And how do you know that? ” I demanded, staring at it.
hvd.hxdkzt	The question was, where should I find St. Hilary?
hvd.hxdkzt	Then I thought of you. ” “ Would I do as much?
hvd.hxdkzt	Then aloud, in Italian, “ Shall we go into the ball- room? ” I took St. Hilary's arm.
hvd.hxdkzt	Then must he confess?
hvd.hxdkzt	Then what were you looking for a min- ute or two ago?
hvd.hxdkzt	There are millions of fools to labor doggedly — to keep the world a- going — why should you be dragged into the ranks of the slaves to the lash?
hvd.hxdkzt	There is no more to be said? ” “ I told my aunt that I was going to church.
hvd.hxdkzt	They were stolen, and stolen, if the legend be true, from one of his Grace's ancestors. ” “ An ancestor of mine? ” cried the duke.
hvd.hxdkzt	To tell her that the duke was a liar and a cheat?
hvd.hxdkzt	Understanding Italian life, as you do, living in Venice so lon 25 “ Make inquiries, Mrs. Gordon? ” I interrupted coldly.
hvd.hxdkzt	Was it possible she had told Mrs. Gordon of my love for her?
hvd.hxdkzt	Was it possible that already he had seen the book St. Hilary had just been speaking to me about?
hvd.hxdkzt	Was there not, behind the little 141 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY figure, a background of bronze, a drop- curtain, so to speak?
hvd.hxdkzt	Was this another of the duke's tricks, a more elaborate one?
hvd.hxdkzt	Was this theory that promised so well to be discarded in its turn like a dozen others?
hvd.hxdkzt	What did she wish me to say?
hvd.hxdkzt	What do you think of my story? ” “ What has that story to do with an old time- piece? ” he blustered.
hvd.hxdkzt	What do you think of my story? ” “ What has that story to do with an old time- piece? ” he blustered.
hvd.hxdkzt	What else could I do?
hvd.hxdkzt	What else do you see in the background of the fourth hour? ” “ A well, ” I answered promptly.
hvd.hxdkzt	What humble attraction had I for the noble gentleman?
hvd.hxdkzt	What if his master should question him, presently, if he had seen any suspicious characters about?
hvd.hxdkzt	What if the man told his master that he had seen me come sneaking out of the house one minute, to return noisily the next?
hvd.hxdkzt	What palace is that?
hvd.hxdkzt	What then?
hvd.hxdkzt	What was I to think?
hvd.hxdkzt	What would St. Hilary say when he knew that I had abandoned it?
hvd.hxdkzt	What would be the most obvious? ” “ That he should select the numbers that really counted in the various stories, ” replied St. Hilary.
hvd.hxdkzt	What's the news? ” 52 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ Oh, I have just dropped in for a smoke.
hvd.hxdkzt	When shall I meet you? ” “ Outside Florian's, on the Piazza at three.
hvd.hxdkzt	Where's your whisky?
hvd.hxdkzt	Where? ” “ I shall be off to Amsterdam; you, to St. Petersburg.
hvd.hxdkzt	Whom could I trust?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why are not your antiquities in the shops? ”- He looked at me with a strangely thoughtful expression.
hvd.hxdkzt	Why are not your canvases in the museums?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why did you not go on with it alone?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why do you intend going to Am- sterdam?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why had he brought me to his apartment?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why is it not behind the glass cases in St. Mark's yonder?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why not attempt that? ” “ Oh, that! ” I exclaimed discontentedly.
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should I not abide by the decision of fate?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should I?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should I?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should it not be?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should she expect me “ abso- lutely ”?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should you be a slave to conscience?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should you be dragged into the ranks of those slaves to an ideal?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should you deny it?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why should you go back to America and the hideous?
hvd.hxdkzt	Why the devil St. Peters- burg? ” But St. Hilary was already asleep — or pre- tended to be.
hvd.hxdkzt	Why, my friend, do you dwell in this barbarous Giudecca? ” Then his eyes fell on the table, where the clock ticked loudly.
hvd.hxdkzt	Why? ” “ I have had a tiff, dear Jacqueline, with your aunt, and she has ordered me off.
hvd.hxdkzt	Will you go with me?
hvd.hxdkzt	Will you marry him for that? ” Jacqueline looked at me a moment in silence.
hvd.hxdkzt	Will you? ” I held out my hand.
hvd.hxdkzt	Would he already have left Venice?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would he not, indeed?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would he obediently attempt it?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would she forgive me for breaking my appointment, even though I was at last to bring her the casket?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would the Bible stories be more readily understood than the Venetian stories?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would the Jewish shop- keepers, the antiquarian in the library, the tour- ists, who had come three thousand miles to feast their eyes on wonders?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would the hunchbacked bootblack in the Arcade there, gnarled and twisted with the cold of winter and the heat of summer?
hvd.hxdkzt	Would you show us yours? ” St. Hilary ’s question was not so idle as might appear.
hvd.hxdkzt	You and I have a long journey ahead of us to- morrow. ” “ A journey?
hvd.hxdkzt	You are going to your rooms, I suppose? ” We were scarcely seated when he turned eagerly toward me.
hvd.hxdkzt	You are ready for chapter three? ” 81 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ Your own theories about this extraordinary mystery?
hvd.hxdkzt	You are ready for chapter three? ” 81 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ Your own theories about this extraordinary mystery?
hvd.hxdkzt	You are wide enough awake to listen to it for an hour or two 2''“ It concerns the clock? ” “ It concerns the casket and the clock.
hvd.hxdkzt	You believe that if you could discover the secret you would have a clue to the D'Este jewels?
hvd.hxdkzt	You have heard of Beatrice d’Este, the Duchess of Milan and wife of Ludovico the MOOr? ” “ Practically only what you have told me about her.
hvd.hxdkzt	You left the lamp burn- ing, I see. ” 134 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY “ I?
hvd.hxdkzt	were St. Hilary and I bent to- night?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Ah, then you confess that you were even des- 57 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY perately anxious to have the clock?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Am I to give up writing the legend of the clock?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And have you yet received an answer to your telegram? ” “ But yes.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And how are you to prove this? ” asked Mrs. Gordon, a little skeptically.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And if he brings it to you, you are going to listen to him?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And now that we have found the eighth landmark? ” I asked quietly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And now, perhaps, you understand, Hume, why it is necessary for one of us to go to Amsterdam? ” I hesitated.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And now? ” I whispered, when we had trussed him up, for all the world like a fat fowl.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And the background of the sixth hour? ” I asked, studying the photograph through a pow- erful magnifying- glass.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And the program? ” “ It is very simple.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And there is absolutely no clue to them? ” demanded Jacqueline.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And this interest really conflicts with mine? ” “ Why not? ” I answered, smiling at him.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And this interest really conflicts with mine? ” “ Why not? ” I answered, smiling at him.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And those twelve doors certainly mean that it is an automaton, do they not, Mr. St. Hilary?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And what brings Mr. Hume to St. Peters- burg? ” I murmured something about studies in the Imperial Library.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And what interest has Mr. Hume in au- tomaton clocks? ” demanded the duke, when the director had turned his back.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And why its mystery? ” “ Listen.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And why not? ” “ It must be an entire change of life — of habits and ambition and tastes.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And you really like it? ” she asked, still won- deringly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ And, as host, may I receive my guests? ” “ Do, ” I urged, and seated myself in his chair, the casket on my knees.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ As to there being no further search, why did you wait here if you intended to relinquish it?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Because we are going to see the box that is said to have contained the casket. ” “ In the palace of our duke? ” asked Jacque- line's aunt.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But at least tell us whose the gems were? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But how did you get into my closet? ” I de- manded.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But is it not rather wide from our Venetian palace?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But is this necessary? ” I expostulated.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But the dial? ” I cried impatiently.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But what if the duke gets wind of this precious legend, and feels curious enough to try his hand at solv- ing the riddle?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But where is it now — all that treasure, that beauty?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But why are you reminded of them so particularly this afternoon? ” I persisted curi- ously.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ But why should you think that the clock- maker copied the head of that particular camel in the background of the fourth hour?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ By Jove, St. Hilary, does that mean you have stumbled on one of the twelve land- marks? ” “ Patience.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Can you catch the afternoon express, Hume?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Dear Jacqueline, do you think that it is too late for me to begin again? ” Jacqueline was silent.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Dear Jacqueline, how can I make you under- stand?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Did you ever happen to see that gondolier before? ” demanded St. Hilary as we walked on.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Do you forget the fourteen pages?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Do you know anything derogatory to him, Mr. Hume? ” “ No, ” I answered bluntly, “ I know nothing of him. ” She sighed out her relief.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Do you know how long I have been living in Venice? ” I asked presently, with apparent irrelevance.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Do you see now that I am answering your question? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Do you think that I asked my questions without reason?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Do you think your suspicions and vulgar curiosity quite apropos, St. Hilary? ” I de- manded vexatiously, as we turned from the door.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ E dove? ” demanded the gondolier, after we had taken our seats.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Even the long feather in the round hat? ” I could not resist asking.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Everything, signore. ” “ That door, where does it lead? ” Luigi pressed down the handle and threw it Open.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Fathom?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Good heavens, Mr. St. Hilary! ” cried the duke, “ are you looking for the gems you have been romancing about?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Has it any meaning? ” “ Yes, yes, signora.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Has this quest troubled you so much?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Have we seen everything?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Have you been able to identify either of the two figures seated on the balcony? ” “ Both, ” he replied with more animation.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Have you looked into that book yet? ” asked St. Hilary, as he bowed to the bookseller within.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Have you no imagination?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ He will bring you the casket soon? ” I re- peated blankly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ How are we to find our way out? ” I de- manded.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ How could I be?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ How do you propose to interpret the first numbers, 7, 30, 30? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ If I confess that I am not disinterested, as you call it?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ In the palace of our duke, madame. ” “ And how did it come there? ” I asked in my turn.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Is it safe? ” He nodded, and I took one of the candles from its sconce.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ It is a mat- ter to laugh over that thieves should rob one of a telegram and one's keys, hein? ” “ Decidedly, ” I said uneasily.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ It is possible that the thieves who broke into my rooms some months ago stole it after all. ” “ Thieves|? ” “ Yes, my friend, thieves.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ It may be that here in Venice is a task. ” “ In Venice?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Jacqueline, ” I cried, “ when did you come to Venice? ” She looked at me with a sort of gentle won- der.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ May I assume that I have awakened your interest? ” “ You may certainly assume that. ” I smiled at his smug assurance.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ My dear Richard, will you answer me one question? ” “ Gladly, if it is not too difficult.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ My dear, will you fetch me my shawl?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ No?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ No? ” She looked after her niece thought- fully.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Now what do you think that brave promise means, Mr. St. Hilary? ” “ Pooh, pooh, madame!
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Of a week? ” I stammered.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Only too well, Jacqueline? ” I repeated anxiously.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Rather, say, who is in your room?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Really?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Shall I light one of these candles? ” I whis- pered.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Shall I risk jumping down for it? ” “ No, no.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Shall we now leave this mad dealer to his own devices?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ So happy? ” he retorted, shrugging his shoulders; then, with apparent frankness, “ But I am to see Mr. St. Hilary again.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ So they have robbed you, these thieves? ” I asked indiscreetly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ So you applied this interesting test to me? ” I exclaimed.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ That you wished to avenge your- self?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ The Signori are of course expected? ” asked the servant hesitatingly, as he unlocked this gate.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ The ninth hour? ” demanded St. Hilary hoarsely.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Then if he must perish, was the secret of the casket to be sealed on his lips forever?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Then it is the beauty of Venice that impresses you both? ” he was saying.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Then why not? ” “ Because you are too much of the dilettante, the dreamer, ” he said angrily.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Then you believe, St. Hilary, that the clock holds the secret?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Thief? ” I cried, alarmed, and rushed to my bedroom.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ To Venice this evening, and without saying good- by to me?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Until? ” repeated St. Hilary mockingly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ We are going to hire costumes from a shop? ” “ What! ” he cried in horror.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Well, indefatigable peerer and pryer for the rare and odd, what is the news of the past ten days? ” I asked, reaching for the Scotch.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Well, why not? ” I answered roughly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Well, ” I asked sleepily, “ have you had any luck? ” “ None whatever.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Well? ” I asked curiously, returning it to him.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What is it? ” “ It is so difficult to make you understand, ” she cried, distressed.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What is that square tower over there?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What is the signore doing in there? ” he demanded with an anxiety that seemed to me rather uncalled for.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What is this on the shelf here? ” “ A clock! ” exclaimed Jacqueline.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What the deuce are the six cubits and a span? ” “ Let us look around. ” I motioned to the gondolier to rest on his oars.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What would they do with your keys?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ What, what does it mean, you going away like this? ” she panted.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Why not throw him out without any ado? ” 136 THE CLOCK AND THE KEY St. Hilary looked at me with contempt.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Why not? ” I asked, yawning, and casting a longing eye toward my bedroom.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Why should I have any sentiment for a place and for things that are as strange to me as to you?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Why should I not go to Amsterdam, and you to St. Petersburg? ” That was the question that I might very pertinently have asked him.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Will you clap your hands for the servant in my launch to come up? ” asked the duke.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Will you please tell the gondolier to row faster?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Will you tell me how long that toy must tick before the cover can be opened? ” interrupted the duke.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Yes, yes, you get the idea?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ You are going, Jacqueline?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ You fool, ” he answered violently, “ do you think I have not thought of that?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ You forgive me? ” I asked humbly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ You re- member the scene of the seventh hour? ” “ And in the seven and twentieth day of the month was the earth dried, ” I murmured.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ You walk toward the Piazza?
hvd.hxdkzt	“ You — you are still searching for it? ” “ Of course I am! ” I answered almost gruffly.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ Your hotel is the de l'Europe, I believe? ” “ But unfortunately I am rarely at home, ” I said ungraciously.
hvd.hxdkzt	“ ‘ The duchess answered boastingly( and who indeed could blame her, seeing that the Doge should not have said what he did?
hvd.hwsqtb	;Well if yer know it all, why should I tell yer about it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Did you hear that whistling, sir? ” asked the man. hvd.hwsqtb Did you know that Erlach possessed two valuable miniatures, representing Napoleon and Josephine?
hvd.hwsqtb	Do n't you want to look at my newly blossoming chrysanthemums? ” asked Maximoff. hvd.hwsqtb I wonder what's the matter with her? ” thought Till again.
hvd.hwsqtb	Is it all right now? hvd.hwsqtb It is absolutely mysterious — incomprehensible- if it is he, why am I still alive?
hvd.hwsqtb	- my fault? ” “ Whose else?
hvd.hwsqtb	- my fault? ” “ Whose else?
hvd.hwsqtb	- or was it robbery?
hvd.hwsqtb	- what have you done? ” he asked again.
hvd.hwsqtb	- what is the matter?
hvd.hwsqtb	. “ What's the matter? ” said Karl lazily.

hvd.hwsqtb	66 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD “ Did that fool Stillinger give me away — when there was no need for it?
hvd.hwsqtb	: “ It is n't necessary that your architect should know everything, is it?
hvd.hwsqtb	Am I not right? ” “ Perfectly,"said the Lieutenant with a faint smile.
hvd.hwsqtb	An act of personal revenge?
hvd.hwsqtb	An arrange- ment with Stillinger, eh? ”"Sure.
hvd.hwsqtb	And as yet I am the only person who knows it. ” “ You?
hvd.hwsqtb	And did you dis- cover anything more? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	And had he persuaded the old gentleman to sell him the picture?
hvd.hwsqtb	And have n't come to any conclusion yourself yet? ” The detective shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwsqtb	And if anything did happen, what would it matter about me?
hvd.hwsqtb	And if it is not he, why these two lies to- day?
hvd.hwsqtb	And now once more: do you know what you are to do? ” “ Yes, sir,"said Karl, now quite grave.
hvd.hwsqtb	And then what else? ” “ Oh, there were other cases."
hvd.hwsqtb	And then? ” “ The official followed these tracks up to the house, stepping carefully beside them.
hvd.hwsqtb	And those enormous footprints that I saw down there by the gate?
hvd.hwsqtb	And we can easily take care of your valet also. ” “ May I be quite frank? ” “ Please do."
hvd.hwsqtb	And what do you suppose?
hvd.hwsqtb	And who else could have known of the de- tective's presence there except the masked man who had taken flight so hastily that night?
hvd.hwsqtb	And why did you follow me here? ” “ See here, young friend, you'd better not be asking so many questions.
hvd.hwsqtb	And yet even he asked himself again and again: “ Did I really see it or did I mis- take?
hvd.hwsqtb	And yet they say that there was no woman in his life? ” “ I am telling you the truth and have letters to prove it.
hvd.hwsqtb	And you did n't see it in the papers?"
hvd.hwsqtb	And you have n't let him get out of your sight since then, have you? ”"Muller!
hvd.hwsqtb	And you're sure that you will not be afraid to sleep there?
hvd.hwsqtb	And you're to find this treasure for him?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Any- thing more you'd like to ask?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Anyway the gardener has n't been here for some time. ” “ Then you do n't have a gardener regularly for all this work? ” asked Hartmann.
hvd.hwsqtb	Are they going to bring me to trial? ” “ Why, of course.
hvd.hwsqtb	Are you in such a hurry? ” “ I'm not, but the Russian seems to be.
hvd.hwsqtb	Are you omnipresent?
hvd.hwsqtb	Are you particularly interested in that line of study too?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Are you really so badly in debt? ” The Commissioner bent over to look his friend in the eyes, a sincere sympathy in his own glance.
hvd.hwsqtb	As he handed her the list and the money, he looked at her sharply, and asked: “ Are you ill, Mrs. Tonner?
hvd.hwsqtb	Bauer, will you kindly telephone to the police station?
hvd.hwsqtb	Be- cause every now and then I am forced to do what They insist upon. ” “ Who are They?"
hvd.hwsqtb	But I do n't have to answer you, do I?"
hvd.hwsqtb	But I — and that is the difference between us- I can not yet believe the very worst of your son. ” “ You ca n't — you ca n't?
hvd.hwsqtb	But are you sure — absolutely sure that those were Erlach's earrings? ” “ Yes, there is no doubt possible.
hvd.hwsqtb	But first I want to know if you can give me some medicine. ” “ What sort of medicine do you want? ” “ I want something to quiet my nerves.
hvd.hwsqtb	But he had scarcely found his position before he left it again and came out into the moonlight, saying with a light laugh: “ Oh, it's you is it?
hvd.hwsqtb	But he has one serious fault. ” “ That's interesting, what is it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	But how do you know so much about me?
hvd.hwsqtb	But if the figure seen through the fog was Erlach's murderer, where was the old man himself?
hvd.hwsqtb	But if you permit it I will come soon again. ” “ Permit it?
hvd.hwsqtb	But my chief, the Baron, knows who it is that he sent to me? ” “ Naturally.
hvd.hwsqtb	But now tell me, why did you want to continue the journey at once?
hvd.hwsqtb	But now tell me, would you rather be domiciled down stairs or up one flight?
hvd.hwsqtb	But to this matter?
hvd.hwsqtb	But where do you think that half of the cigar was found? ” “ I have n't an idea. ” “ No, nobody could imagine it that had n't heard of it.
hvd.hwsqtb	But why should Erlach do such a thing?
hvd.hwsqtb	But you look as if you wanted to ask a question — well, what is it? ” Muller sat down comfortably, lit a cigar and offered Karl one.
hvd.hwsqtb	But your kindness will do the poor man so much good. ” The invalid smiled sadly as she replied:"For me?
hvd.hwsqtb	Ca n't we go into the house?
hvd.hwsqtb	Ca n't you remember any such secret admirer? ” “ Oh, yes!
hvd.hwsqtb	Can I assist THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD 181 you to your room? ” asked Mr. Hartmann with a tone of friendly sympathy.
hvd.hwsqtb	Can a soul like his hate enough to murder — or murder for the joy of it?
hvd.hwsqtb	Did he seem to be carrying anything?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Did n't we have to borrow Sergius'carriage the other day, because our own was being fixed, and we had to be out until dark?
hvd.hwsqtb	Did n't you? ” she said, snuggling up to the guest with an air of childish importance.
hvd.hwsqtb	Did that happen in Linz too? ” “ No, that began in Mauer, you know, the little vil- lage outside of Vienna where we lived for nearly a year."
hvd.hwsqtb	Did the man whom Stillinger had seen go down this avenue or did he turn off into one of the side roads which crossed it?
hvd.hwsqtb	Did you have a house of your own there? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	Do n't I know how good and how faithful your heart is?
hvd.hwsqtb	Do n't they know? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	Do n't you know enough to shut the door? ” he cried to the girl and then walked quickly to the now entering visitor.
hvd.hwsqtb	Do you know how to use a revolver? ” “ Oh, yes. ” Muller opened his trunk, took out a pistol and handed it to Karl with a box of ammunition.
hvd.hwsqtb	Do you remember any of your friends in the habit of using it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Do you remember what month it was? ” “ Yes, I remember that.
hvd.hwsqtb	Do you think this mur- derer will spare you either, now that he knows you belong to me?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Do you want me to tell you about that?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Does that pro- gram appeal to you? ” Mr. Hartmann took the hand that was stretched out to him and pressed it warmly.
hvd.hwsqtb	Er- lach himself when he saw his life threatened?
hvd.hwsqtb	Finally she spoke: “ If I tell you all that I know, the only thing I know, must you then go to the authorities?
hvd.hwsqtb	For the Erlach who wrote those letters is long since dead. ” “ But how do you know that, if you have n't seen him for so long?"
hvd.hwsqtb	From letters that were found in his desk we discovered that he corresponded with you. ” “ They found my letters?
hvd.hwsqtb	Had Maximoff been there once more, without the knowledge of Mrs. Tonner or the Tills?
hvd.hwsqtb	Hartmann, will you please make my ex- cuses? ” he said hastily.
hvd.hwsqtb	Has he been murdered? ” “ You know then?
hvd.hwsqtb	Has he been murdered? ” “ You know then?
hvd.hwsqtb	Has he come home yet? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwsqtb	Has your uncle's disappearance anything to do with it? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	Have n't you got a heart? ” “ About as much as you have, to judge by your conduct towards your mother."
hvd.hwsqtb	Have the po- lice been watching me?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Have they been arrested yet? ” asked Mrs. Plöhn.
hvd.hwsqtb	Have you been friends with him for some time? ” “ For several weeks now.
hvd.hwsqtb	Have you forgotten any- THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD 15 thing?
hvd.hwsqtb	He could see it quite 106 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD of my he?
hvd.hwsqtb	He said to go to my mother about it. ”"And you asked her for a hundred crowns?
hvd.hwsqtb	He suddenly jumped out from behind a tree and ran off over the moor. ” “ Did you call after him?"
hvd.hwsqtb	He thanks you for it himself. ” “ You know that too?"
hvd.hwsqtb	He would have to meet his representative somewhere along the line of the journey, so why not Oswiecim as well as any place?
hvd.hwsqtb	He's the best detective I ever knew or heard of. ” “ What's his name?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Hello, who's that? ” he ex- claimed as the bell of the back door jangled over their heads.
hvd.hwsqtb	Here they're brought by a messenger. ” “ Now may I ask where you lived in Mauer?
hvd.hwsqtb	Here?
hvd.hwsqtb	His hood had one other pecu- liarity also. ” “ What is it?
hvd.hwsqtb	Hold on, I know the man you want! ” “ A capable man? ” “ Capable?
hvd.hwsqtb	Hold on, I know the man you want! ” “ A capable man? ” “ Capable?
hvd.hwsqtb	How can I drag Nellie into this?
hvd.hwsqtb	How can she help us?"
hvd.hwsqtb	How did the old ferret in the dark compartment know this?
hvd.hwsqtb	I confess that I'm growing very fond of you. ”"Is that really true?".
hvd.hwsqtb	I do n't know why that should interest the police?
hvd.hwsqtb	I dropped in there in the hope of seeing you, and asking you to lend me one of your Lombroso books? ” “ Oh, why did n't you take what you wanted?
hvd.hwsqtb	I dropped in there in the hope of seeing you, and asking you to lend me one of your Lombroso books? ” “ Oh, why did n't you take what you wanted?
hvd.hwsqtb	I fired at him twice, but I'm sorry to say I did n't hit him. ” “ Oh, then it was you who did the shooting that night?"
hvd.hwsqtb	I must learn to wait patiently — do n't you think so, Sonya?
hvd.hwsqtb	I notice the difference possibly, be- cause it's two years since I saw you last. ” “ Yes, that was in Pegli, was n't it?
hvd.hwsqtb	I suppose you've been up to some mischief and have been sent to Vienna to be punished, eh?
hvd.hwsqtb	I thought you were an intelligent man! ” “ Should I have told you right away? ” “ Yes — yes — of course.
hvd.hwsqtb	I wanted to get him out of the way so that I could send him on the Russian journey with Simirenko. ” “ You feel better now — more rested?
hvd.hwsqtb	I was living in hopes then, too. ” “ Concerning me?
hvd.hwsqtb	I will be responsible for him and you can recommend him to Maximoff without fear. ” “ George Münzer?
hvd.hwsqtb	I wonder if there is any connection here?
hvd.hwsqtb	I've been in Vienna since the 20th 184 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD Something about an old man was n't it?
hvd.hwsqtb	If this man has not the brain to have planned these crimes, might he not have been the instrument used by another?
hvd.hwsqtb	Is it so very important?
hvd.hwsqtb	Is n't it to your taste? ” Mr. Hartmann hastened to assure his host that the beverage was in every way satisfactory.
hvd.hwsqtb	Is n't there any limit to your heartlessness and your impudence? ” Karl Tonner's head sank again.
hvd.hwsqtb	Is she not a treasure?
hvd.hwsqtb	Is there anything I can do for you? ” “ No, thank you, ” she murmured, straightening up again in her cushions.
hvd.hwsqtb	Is this not so, Mrs. Tonner?
hvd.hwsqtb	It was a bit of black cord of an unusual sort. ”"And the criminal, or criminals, were not discov- ered?"
hvd.hwsqtb	It was he who drove me to do it — to go to my mother that evening,- and he waited outside for me. ” “ Why did you want a hundred crowns?
hvd.hwsqtb	It wo n't be easy for you to get work THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD 81 “ But he asked for a hundred. ” “ Oh, you know that, do yer?
hvd.hwsqtb	Joseph Muller? ” he murmured.
hvd.hwsqtb	Karl looked at him pleadingly and answered: “ I really want to do it this time — will I be allowed to see my mother —?
hvd.hwsqtb	Karl need n't know everything —"is not an ordinary workingman. ” “ And why do you think that?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Karl — I am going now — have n't you a word for me? ” Karl Tonner did not raise his head.
hvd.hwsqtb	Landed proprietor and respectable houseowner?
hvd.hwsqtb	Let us hurry to greet them. ” “ Where's your little girl? ” asked Muller as they walked on more quickly.
hvd.hwsqtb	Maximoff whirled round on the piano stool and said laughingly: “ Our music has driven you all away, has n't it?
hvd.hwsqtb	May I see the presents? ” Eva opened the box her sister brought out.
hvd.hwsqtb	Might not a man have said that, in just that way, who knew perfectly well that the detective of whom he spoke had been in the Green House?
hvd.hwsqtb	Muller looked at him pityingly, although his mind was busy with the question: “ Who then, is the unknown murderer, and where must I seek him?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Muller rose. “ Have you anything else to say to me, sir?
hvd.hwsqtb	Muller?
hvd.hwsqtb	My betrothed is com- ing with her relatives. ” “ But had n't I better go away?"
hvd.hwsqtb	My housekeeper sent me word on a postal card, did you ever hear of such stupidity?
hvd.hwsqtb	Need I as- sure you of my sympathy for you? ” “ No, I think I can feel it without words.
hvd.hwsqtb	No one saw me go out either, for I did not leave until it was quite dark. ” “ Did you go into the house too? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	Nobody's safe from you, I suppose? ” 160 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD few home.
hvd.hwsqtb	Now how the mischief did you know that?
hvd.hwsqtb	Now let me see, you've been wearing a gray suit here, have n't you?
hvd.hwsqtb	Now tell me what you were doing with yourself to- day? ” Karl's report was explicit, but contained very little of value.
hvd.hwsqtb	Now?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Oh, dear! ” “ What's the matter now?
hvd.hwsqtb	Oh, how could I — how could I have ever thought it? ” “ I can understand, ” said the old detective, gently.
hvd.hwsqtb	Oh, why?
hvd.hwsqtb	Only my letters of thanks?
hvd.hwsqtb	Or did his voice sound muffled?
hvd.hwsqtb	Or his murderer?
hvd.hwsqtb	Or is it something you wanted to say to the police? ” Mrs. Tonner shook her head, controlled herself and sat down at the table again.
hvd.hwsqtb	Or is this only an- other mistake of mine?
hvd.hwsqtb	Or should he have still kept the — others?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Or- I have been mistaken before in my life, may he not be deeper than I think?
hvd.hwsqtb	Plöhn looked at him in astonishment and asked: “ Why, what's the matter?
hvd.hwsqtb	Shall I not come some other time?"
hvd.hwsqtb	So if there is any- thing that you have to say to me, Mr. —?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Soon — real soon?
hvd.hwsqtb	Still I do n't know then, why he should have lied to me?
hvd.hwsqtb	Suddenly he changed his mind, took up the egg again and asked: “ Can you make an egg stand on its end? ” Karl Tonner was astonished.
hvd.hwsqtb	THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD 129 “ You are Miss Geiringer?"
hvd.hwsqtb	THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD 203 “ Why that sigh? ” asked Muller, who had risen and come up behind the young man.
hvd.hwsqtb	That happened since you've been here. ” “ Oh, then Miss Plöhn has n't lived here always?"
hvd.hwsqtb	That is another expensive fad. ” “ Are you interested in that sort of thing?"
hvd.hwsqtb	That was all I heard. ”"And you did n't tell me that before now?
hvd.hwsqtb	The detective looked after her, his face very grave. ” “ Why did she lie to me?
hvd.hwsqtb	The detective smiled at this unnecessary question: “ It must have been a young man, or if not young, still very active. ” “ Who told you that?"
hvd.hwsqtb	The window near which the table stood?
hvd.hwsqtb	The woman smiled sadly and answered: “ Oh, yes, she's at home. ” “ May I speak to her? ” he asked again.
hvd.hwsqtb	Then I may ask you some- thing?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Then after a pause he asked: “ Then you saw the man only very indistinctly? ” “ Yes, just dim like in the fog."
hvd.hwsqtb	Then he answered in a tone of astonishment: “ Why, have n't you understood yet?
hvd.hwsqtb	Then he said, in a lower tone: “ Is that the reason you are sending me away?
hvd.hwsqtb	Then he turned 150 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD poise of shield and hislaimed the do friend?
hvd.hwsqtb	Then turning to Muller with a look of distrust she continued: “ Do you come from there?
hvd.hwsqtb	Then what do yer ask me about it? ” Muller looked straight at the man and the bully's eyes sank.
hvd.hwsqtb	Then you could n't wait till to- morrow?
hvd.hwsqtb	Then you've been in Aus- tria for some time? ” “ Oh, I've been here before that even.
hvd.hwsqtb	Then you've engaged a de- tective about your uncle? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	There, do you see that red roof behind the trees?
hvd.hwsqtb	They want to find out about the other matter, the more important one. ” “ What other matter?
hvd.hwsqtb	They're going to send another detective? ”"I am going away because there is nothing more to do here."
hvd.hwsqtb	This about the father- in- law, do n't you understand?
hvd.hwsqtb	This agreed with what Mrs. Tonner had said- but might it not have been a lie after all?
hvd.hwsqtb	This is how I came to know that my uncle was perfectly satisfied with the Tills and with his housekeeper. ” “ With his housekeeper too?"
hvd.hwsqtb	This window was half opened, he said? ” “ Yes, that was the window, but it was n't half open. ”"How was it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	This window was half opened, he said? ” “ Yes, that was the window, but it was n't half open. ”"How was it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	This — mad- man was dear to us all — and to you — very dear to you — ”"To me? ” her voice rose to a higher note.
hvd.hwsqtb	Was it a murder? ” Muller volunteered no information, but while the others were talking he watched Maximoff with the greatest interest.
hvd.hwsqtb	Was it right?
hvd.hwsqtb	Was the “ dreadful night ” of which Karl Tonner wrote, the night of the 9th of September?
hvd.hwsqtb	Was there nothing to give you an idea of the time? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	Was there some clue, some trace of his presence that he may have remembered leaving, and that he wanted to take away?
hvd.hwsqtb	Was this merriment called forth by the conversation just closed?
hvd.hwsqtb	We did n't see him again, but he must have followed us. ” “ What?
hvd.hwsqtb	Well, doctor, why do n't you say some- thing?"
hvd.hwsqtb	What could he want in this room?
hvd.hwsqtb	What do you mean?
hvd.hwsqtb	What do you mean? ” “ Now do n't get excited.
hvd.hwsqtb	What do you mean? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	What has happened here?
hvd.hwsqtb	What is it that is driving you away?
hvd.hwsqtb	What is it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	What makes her so excited?"
hvd.hwsqtb	What opinion have you formed about your uncle's disap- pearance? ” “ Then you've been following the case in the papers?
hvd.hwsqtb	What opinion have you formed about your uncle's disap- pearance? ” “ Then you've been following the case in the papers?
hvd.hwsqtb	What was it? ” “ A rich old man disappeared mysteriously."
hvd.hwsqtb	What were the contents of the other letter you speak of? ” “ Just about the same as this."
hvd.hwsqtb	What will happen then?"
hvd.hwsqtb	What's the good?
hvd.hwsqtb	When Mr. Hartmann joined the circle he said to the doctor: “ Do you know that I have just come from Rose Cottage?
hvd.hwsqtb	When Muller had finished dressing, he said to Karl: “ You know what you are to do to- day? ” Tonner bowed: “ Yes, Mr. Muller. ” “ Mr.
hvd.hwsqtb	Where did I hide it? ” he murmured, then after a pause: “ I- I hid it — ” “ Well, where did you hide it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Where did I hide it? ” he murmured, then after a pause: “ I- I hid it — ” “ Well, where did you hide it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Where did you hide Erlach's body? ” Muller pretended embarrassment.
hvd.hwsqtb	Who are you — who are you? ” The words came low from between her trembling lips.
hvd.hwsqtb	Who had underscored these words?
hvd.hwsqtb	Who's going to help me if not my own mother? ” “ Have n't I helped you many times? ” “ But your affection appears to have a limit.
hvd.hwsqtb	Who's going to help me if not my own mother? ” “ Have n't I helped you many times? ” “ But your affection appears to have a limit.
hvd.hwsqtb	Why am I on a train? ” he asked him- self.
hvd.hwsqtb	Why did n't he tell me that he had the man he wanted instead of in- sisting that I was to find someone right away?
hvd.hwsqtb	Why did n't you want to stop over night in Oswiecim?"
hvd.hwsqtb	Why did they arrest him again then?
hvd.hwsqtb	Why do you have to go so suddenly?
hvd.hwsqtb	Why had the unknown criminal desired to give the bed the appearance of having been slept in?
hvd.hwsqtb	Why, what's the matter Mr. Muller?
hvd.hwsqtb	Wo n't you join us in the sit- ting- room until the place is ready?
hvd.hwsqtb	Would n't you think they could have said a few more words?
hvd.hwsqtb	You ai n't getting me a position for nothing?"
hvd.hwsqtb	You alone know it? ” murmured Mrs. Tonner, slipping to her knees and holding out her hands, clasped in pleading: “ And you will not say anything?
hvd.hwsqtb	You alone know it? ” murmured Mrs. Tonner, slipping to her knees and holding out her hands, clasped in pleading: “ And you will not say anything?
hvd.hwsqtb	You believe then that I am Robert Hartmann from Poland?
hvd.hwsqtb	You confessed to the other matter, might it not have been the same with Erlach?
hvd.hwsqtb	You have n't the faintest idea who I really am. ” “ Are n't you Robert Hartmann, landowner from Poland? ” Maximoff's guest laughed heartily.
hvd.hwsqtb	You remember my excitement at the moment?
hvd.hwsqtb	You say you do not know how long your faint lasted?
hvd.hwsqtb	You see I heard the shots and saw him running away. ” “ Did you climb over the wall again?
hvd.hwsqtb	You see this · Prost Mahlzeit ’?
hvd.hwsqtb	and tell you that I find myself taking a great liking to you. ” “ Why do you speak so low?"
hvd.hwsqtb	nothing at all that would give us a clue to the writer of this letter? ” “ No, nothing at all.
hvd.hwsqtb	one ought to learn to be patient? ” Sonya was anxious to lead him to the cabinet but he resisted and began the tour of the bookcases.
hvd.hwsqtb	what was it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	who is it — who is it he is talking about — what is it that you know — why do you look so horrified — why do you hold me so?
hvd.hwsqtb	why do you believe that? ” cut in Maxi- moff, greatly surprised.
hvd.hwsqtb	you're treating me as if I were Her Royal Highness, who 164 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD “ What hope? ” Greng looked at his guest carefully.
hvd.hwsqtb	— and now may I bother you with a few questions?"
hvd.hwsqtb	— do you really think so? ” exclaimed the doctor warmly.
hvd.hwsqtb	— oh, I know you will not — and you wo n't force me to speak?
hvd.hwsqtb	— or — have they arrested him again? ” Muller was surprised, but now he knew why Karl Tonner left Vienna.
hvd.hwsqtb	— what has happened? ” exclaimed the woman.
hvd.hwsqtb	— what is it that you think me capable of then? ” Karl's voice shook with anger in which there was a note of fear.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ A comfort?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ A painful surprise?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And did you think anything else? ” “ Well, I thought, sir, that you had better take double care not to meet this man again.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And has Mrs. Grützner left? ” “ Yes, sir,"said the young man, taking Muller's hat.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And that's why you claim to be the Man with the Black Cord? ” he murmured, rising and beginning again his uneasy pacing of the room.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And what did you find out from my trunk? ” the woman queried again, in a tone of bitter contempt.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And when your mother could n't give you the money what did you do then? ” inquired the detec- tive.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And who are you? ” asked the man who sat at THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD 79 the table, a true type of bully of the tenement dis- tricts.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And why? ” asked Muller with a cheery laugh, as the other led him to a soft corner of the sofa and piled up the cushions invitingly.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And yer going to get me a place for that? ” “ Yes, a place and a chance to be a decent man.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ And you do not know that he sent money away the first of every month? ” “ I did n't know that it happened every month.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Anything new? ” he asked the young man, as the latter came to take his hat and overcoat.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Anyway I should have to suggest to him a rather peculiar method of payment. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Lehr.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Are you alone in the world then? ” The question came quite naturally from Muller's lips.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Are you in a corridor car? ” asked Muller.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ But why are you so sure that the man must be one of your workmen?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ But why is all that so important? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Certainly, what is it? ” “ Would you be ready for a journey? ” “ Out of the country? ” “ To Russia."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Certainly, what is it? ” “ Would you be ready for a journey? ” “ Out of the country? ” “ To Russia."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Certainly, what is it? ” “ Would you be ready for a journey? ” “ Out of the country? ” “ To Russia."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Did he send for him to spy on the dwellers in the pavil- ion? ” But his sudden merriment did not last long.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Did the man change his direction after you called to him?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Did you bring in supplies for supper? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Well, then, go out into your own room and make yourself comfortable.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Did you bring the money?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Did you just come too? ” he asked.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Did your mother know that? ” “ No, I did n't tell her.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Do tell me, dear madam, what you mean by this?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Do they know who did it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Do you know anything about a woman by the name of Eva, who stood in some relation to Erlach? ” “ No."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Do you think so? ” “ Yes, I do.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Erlach has never been here? ” “ No.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Even you can not always control your feelings?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ For as long as the man is here you might as well have your talk with him without being hurried. ” “ Are you really going? ” “ Yes, I must.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ From the way he spoke. ” “ You heard him speak? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Had I better tell you that? ” Hartmann's eyes took on a renewed look of sly cunning.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Had that anything to do with Maximoff — I mean with that man's insanity?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Has that anything to do with his madness? ” “ A great deal.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Has the new cook arrived?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Have n't you heard of the occurrence in Inzers- dorf, sir?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Have n't you noticed that I seem to enjoy your company?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Have they taken good care of you? ” said Hart- mann when he was left alone with his valet.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Have you any of them? ” asked Paul eagerly.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Have you gone mad? ” he exclaimed.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ He's been here several times then? ” he asked."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ He's not here either. ” “ Not there either? ” repeated Mrs. Tonner be- wildered.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ How do you know that? ” exclaimed Erlach.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ How much schooling have you had? ” “ Normal school and a business school. ” “ And yet you've never been able to accomplish any- thing?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ How much schooling have you had? ” “ Normal school and a business school. ” “ And yet you've never been able to accomplish any- thing?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ I have been examining that spot. ” “ You were there?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ I suppose of course you have documents to prove the truth of the history of this really remarkable col- lection?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ I wonder if that's any relation to my comrade Paul Erlach?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ I- I- I did n't half try, I'm afraid. ” “ Do you know any foreign languages? ” “ I can talk French.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ I- you never thought of me as avaricious, did you? ” Lehr laughed."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is Mr. Erlach ill? ” “ No, sir, he's gone — nobody knows where or how."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is he able to do anything for himself yet? ” asked the anxious mother timidly.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is he dead?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is he still with the injured — or dead man? ” “ It was only an injury,"said the manager.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is n't he here yet? ” he asked.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is not that some comfort to you? ” asked the de- tective.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is that really true? ” asked the doctor and his eyes gleamed.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is that so important?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is there anything I can do for you until he comes? ” “ No, thank you, ” said Muller.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is there anything I can do for you?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Is this what was worrying you? ” she asked.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ It is he. ” “ Sergius?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ May I ask how you know all this about the serv- ants?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ May I come back again if I have anything of im- portance to tell you? ” asked the detective.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ May I sit down? ” asked Joseph Muller, pulling a chair near to the desk.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Must be, you say? ” he asked.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Must you leave this evening?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ My dear doctor, wo n't you give me a light? ” said the detective calmly.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ No, I've been here some time. ” “ And no one saw you yet? ” he continued.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ No, no — I ca n't — I ca n't. ” “ Very well then — I must do without your assist- ance. ” “ Assistance?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ No, nothing has been discovered. ” “ Why did they think of me?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Not at all — never? ” he whispered in her ear.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Now can you please tell me the names of all the visitors whom you have ever seen in Erlach's house? ” 136 THE MAN WITH THE BLACK CORD he began.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Oh ho, we're defiant, are we?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Oh, do n't they know anything about him yet? ” she exclaimed clasping her hands.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Oh, that's it, is it?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Oh, what is it?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Oh, you mean the garden door bolted on the in- side?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Oh, you're there, are you? ” he answered angrily.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Other murders? ” “ No, minor crimes. ” “ For instance? ” “ An empty house was broken into.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Other murders? ” “ No, minor crimes. ” “ For instance? ” “ An empty house was broken into.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Pay particular attention to big men?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Perhaps even the possibility that I might have something to do with it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Say, what was the matter with you two last even- ing? ” Plöhn asked at once.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Shall I send your tea up to your own room?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Shall I take your trunk? ”"Please do.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ That is it exactly. ” “ And why do you fear that? ” “ Because I can not always control myself.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ The Judge?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ The body — the body?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ The main point is, why did he come to you in such secrecy that night?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then I may be equally frank?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then from eleven o'clock on you must stay at home. ” “ Here? ” “ No, in my house in the city.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then his love at least was not madness?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then my name is George Münzer? ” “ Yes, you are George Münzer, a private detective by profession.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then they have arrested him already?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then what'd yer come for? ” he asked, sitting down again.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then will you please take a seat, Mr. Muller, and tell me what it is?'
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you are a detective? ” he said.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you are going away? ” the manager asked.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you have n't taken a dislike to him?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you have sunk- as low as that? ” “ Pretty low — and it's your fault. ” “ Mine?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you have sunk- as low as that? ” “ Pretty low — and it's your fault. ” “ Mine?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you have — —? ” “ I opened your trunk.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Then you know what my duty demands, if you will not speak?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ They have taken him — to the city. ” “ To prison? ” “ No — to the asylum."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ They've naturally been looking up your record. ” “ On account of that little fool thing?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ To me?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Was it lighter then than it is now? ” asked Muller.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Was n't it foolish of me? ” he asked.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Was there anything you particularly noticed about him?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Was there much taken from the house? ” “ There was nothing taken at all. ” “ Then the criminal — or criminals, were fright- ened away?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Was there much taken from the house? ” “ There was nothing taken at all. ” “ Then the criminal — or criminals, were fright- ened away?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, and then? ” Maximoff's breath came quickly and Muller's hand was clasped tightly around the neck of the chloroform bottle in his pocket.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, it took long enough to reach here, did n't it? ” “ I'll send Wilhelm to you to help you pack.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, my dear Muller, do answer? ” “ To Russia, you say?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, my dear Muller, do answer? ” “ To Russia, you say?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, suppose you are right? ” began the doc- tor with a delicate smile.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, then, what's the matter? ” “ Oh, I do n't mean that.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, then?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well, what of that?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Well?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What am I doing here?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What are you doing here? ” he asked in surprise, as Karl Tonner slipped hastily through the opening.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What are you doing?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you know about it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you know about the way the house is built? ” interrupted Erlach, in surprise which was in- creased by the detective's answer.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you mean by that? ” he cried harshly.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you mean by that? ” “ I mean that you are greatly interested, or I have understood that you are, in crime and criminals.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you mean? ” he said, in a tone that was like a hiss of anger.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean that Erlach's murderer has been discov- ered and is already in security."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you say now?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What do you want?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What happened there? ” Tonner's voice was full of defiance.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What happened to them?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What happened two weeks ago then? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What was that man doing there? ” he asked half aloud.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What was the difficulty of which the other spoke?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What will you think of me?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What's the matter here? ” exclaimed a cheerful voice at the door.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What's the matter?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ What's the matter? ” asked Plöhn, who saw the girl first.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ When can you send him to me?".
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Where am I?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Where did you meet him?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Where is Sergius?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Where is he now? ” There was a sudden unnatural calm about her.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Who are the three attackers?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Who could it have been? ” he said.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Who had? ” “ The man I met as I ran up here."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Who is it that worries you? ” asked Maximoff, entering the room just then.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Who is the victim? ” “ He's one of the newer men.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Who was it who was here a few moments back?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why are you going away now?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why ca n't you? ” “ Because They — have no names."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why did n't you creep into a rat- hole and be done with it? ” “ That is what I would like to do,"said Mrs. Ton- ner bitterly.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why do you think that? ” “ Because the man who shot at you yesterday — ” Muller started to interrupt, then concluded that he would n't.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why not? ” “ Because if I do attract too much attention- then I'm done for. ” “ Now I do n't understand you at all."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why should it frighten you, dear?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why should you not take the help that was offered you?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why so indefinite? ” “ Why, I do n't know,"said the lady.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why, what are you doing? ” he exclaimed, draw- ing away his hand.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why? ” “ You ask? ” Mrs. Tonner covered her face with her hands and sat for a few moments in silence.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Why? ” “ You ask? ” Mrs. Tonner covered her face with her hands and sat for a few moments in silence.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Will I have all this trouble when I start my brick factory? ” Plöhn laughed.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Will you take up your studies again to- morrow? ” asked the Manager, when Hartmann finally rose to go.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Would you be in a position to know if he did speak of it?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Yes, a very good one, they tell me. ” “ And yet nothing's been discovered, no word of your uncle — or of his death? ”.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ Yes, that's it. ” “ He came here about it?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You are Johann Stillinger?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You are n't well? ” the men behind the bushes heard Maximoff say.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You are not well?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You are quite sure there was only one? ” “ Yes, there was only one, that was proved by the tracks in the snow.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You did n't call my name, did you? ” “ Oh, no."
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You have not been successful here?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You may possibly be right about that. ”. “ Possibly?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You mean Mr. Kress?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You mean the big footprints outside the wall? ” asked Muller.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You mean the locking of the doors on the inside?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You sent for me, sir?"
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You want to know who I am? ” asked Muller with a smile.
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You want to lay them at once?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You — know — that too?
hvd.hwsqtb	“ You're going to send me away?
hvd.hwsqtb	” “ I do n't think so- but I could n't really tell. ” “ You could n't?
hvd.hwsqtb	” “ Well? ” Maximoff's face expressed great in- terest.

mdp.39015014541554	I know... but did she?
mdp.39015014541554	I suppose there'd be some profit in it for her?
mdp.39015014541554	I think they had a splendid success,he declared, and went on to ask,"Are you an only child too, bearing the full weight of parental attention?"
mdp.39015014541554	I understand you have had some experience in sickrooms?
mdp.39015014541554	In other words, you had nothing to hide from anyone?
mdp.39015014541554	Including a trip to Germany between February and July 1882?
mdp.39015014541554	Is Mrs. Osgood home?
mdp.39015014541554	Is it any more indelicate for me to say you're drunk than for you to get in that state?
mdp.39015014541554	Is n't it true that for all his cheerful disposition the deceased had a quick, violent temper?
mdp.39015014541554	Is there anything I can do?
mdp.39015014541554	Is this the first you have heard of it, madam?
mdp.39015014541554	It was n't serious and it was n't my fault, but he said"Mr. Simon Redding?
mdp.39015014541554	Larry — how did you know to come so soon?
mdp.39015014541554	Larry? mdp.39015014541554 Madder, did n't he?"
mdp.39015014541554	Mrs. Osgood tells me you have spoken to her of taking poison — what's the meaning of that?
mdp.39015014541554	Mrs. Redding and you did n't go upstairs together?
mdp.39015014541554	Mrs. Redding drinks excessively?
mdp.39015014541554	Mrs. Redding threw him over for Mr. Redding, did n't she? mdp.39015014541554 My God, Bess, how can I say?
mdp.39015014541554	No? mdp.39015014541554 Nothing so rude as a letter penned by a masculine hand must intrude upon the young female, eh?"
mdp.39015014541554	Now, as one who knew the deceased well all his life: Were you surprised when you heard that he was supposed to have com- mitted suicide?
mdp.39015014541554	Oh, Simon, how can you say that? mdp.39015014541554 Oh, what happened?"
mdp.39015014541554	Oh, will you do that? mdp.39015014541554 On reaching the second floor, did you go directly to her room?"
mdp.39015014541554	Poison?
mdp.39015014541554	Preference?
mdp.39015014541554	Really?
mdp.39015014541554	Shall I get you something? mdp.39015014541554 Shall I read it to you?"
mdp.39015014541554	Shall I ring for Phoebe to help her undress?
mdp.39015014541554	Shall we consider where we stand in the light of these — uh — remarkable statements the two ladies have sent usr?
mdp.39015014541554	She did not inform you that Mr. Redding had told her he had taken poison?
mdp.39015014541554	She was there when you went in?
mdp.39015014541554	Simon said that? mdp.39015014541554 Simon, why does she hate me so?"
mdp.39015014541554	Simon, will you let me come, then, and get her ready for bed? mdp.39015014541554 That accident Simon had this afternoon — could that have had anything to do with his attack?"
mdp.39015014541554	That's odd, is n't it? mdp.39015014541554 Then how did it get there?"
mdp.39015014541554	Then why do you do it? mdp.39015014541554 Then would you say your son had more knowledge than the average person of poisons and their actions on the human body?"
mdp.39015014541554	There's no hope at all for me, is there?
mdp.39015014541554	There's to be a post- mortem examination and — well, that makes it very serious, does n't it?
mdp.39015014541554	Those were the exact words of the deceased?
mdp.39015014541554	To read it again and again and make yourself miserable?
mdp.39015014541554	To what do you attribute the seizure?
mdp.39015014541554	Was any further reference made to the quarrel which you say took place that morning?
mdp.39015014541554	Was n't the deceased noted for his closeness in money matters?
mdp.39015014541554	Well, what do you suggest?
mdp.39015014541554	Well, what would you expect them to say?
mdp.39015014541554	Well?
mdp.39015014541554	Were there any other guests?
mdp.39015014541554	What did the doctors say?
mdp.39015014541554	What did they say?
mdp.39015014541554	What did you take, old man?
mdp.39015014541554	What do you make of that?
mdp.39015014541554	What do you think it was, Nellie?
mdp.39015014541554	What hap- pened to him?
mdp.39015014541554	What happened to her?
mdp.39015014541554	What is it, Finch?
mdp.39015014541554	What kind of a seizure did Mr. Redding have? mdp.39015014541554 What poison do the doctors say Mr. Redding took?"
mdp.39015014541554	What was your impression of their marriage?
mdp.39015014541554	Whatever did I do without you? mdp.39015014541554 When Amy finally shows herself will you tell her that?"
mdp.39015014541554	Where is it now?
mdp.39015014541554	Where was I? mdp.39015014541554 Where would we be, though, if we held them?
mdp.39015014541554	Who could sleep in such a storm?
mdp.39015014541554	Who is she exactly?
mdp.39015014541554	Why ca n't you return to that little house of yours in Linden? mdp.39015014541554 Why did you wait?"
mdp.39015014541554	Why do n't you go out?
mdp.39015014541554	Why do n't you go today? mdp.39015014541554 Why not?
mdp.39015014541554	Why, hello, Larry, how are you?
mdp.39015014541554	Why?
mdp.39015014541554	Why?
mdp.39015014541554	Will it be convenient if I call for you at eight?
mdp.39015014541554	Will you give us her exact words, Doctor?
mdp.39015014541554	Will you have some more?
mdp.39015014541554	Will you stop being stub- born? mdp.39015014541554 Will you tell us how long you knew the deceased?"
mdp.39015014541554	Will you tell us what the deceased said to Dr. Hungerford the night before he died? mdp.39015014541554 Would n't it have been true that anyone in the room that night could have taken a drink from that bottle?"
mdp.39015014541554	Would the man's stomach know it was self- administered?
mdp.39015014541554	Would you say the deceased treated his wife with affection?
mdp.39015014541554	Yes?
mdp.39015014541554	Yes?
mdp.39015014541554	You had an accident, you mean?
mdp.39015014541554	You were present when he spoke to the doctor?
mdp.39015014541554	Your address?
mdp.39015014541554	Your daughter, then, was financially independent?
mdp.39015014541554	Your name, please?
mdp.39015014541554	Your occupation?
mdp.39015014541554	124"But you yourself never heard the deceased quarrel with your daughter about him?"
mdp.39015014541554	73"Could it have been an accident?"
mdp.39015014541554	Aloud she said,"Had n't you better get ready for bed?"
mdp.39015014541554	And, as the father: Do you have any suspicion of foul play?"'
mdp.39015014541554	Are we to let them get away with murder?"
mdp.39015014541554	Are you just home from school?"
mdp.39015014541554	Are you sure you wo n't change your mind and come with me?"
mdp.39015014541554	At the end there had been in Stephen Redding's expression a little flicker of — what was it?
mdp.39015014541554	Brandy, perhaps?"
mdp.39015014541554	But can we prove she's lying?
mdp.39015014541554	But that was a long time ago, and when he said,"Yes, Amy?"
mdp.39015014541554	But what confidence can we place in her word?"
mdp.39015014541554	But what has that got to do with us?"
mdp.39015014541554	But would n't it be unwise?"
mdp.39015014541554	But would you say antimony could be a layman's choice?"
mdp.39015014541554	Carrington?"
mdp.39015014541554	Did Grace Redding know where her son was bound when he left home that afternoon?
mdp.39015014541554	Did Mrs. Osgood threaten to tell about Alice if you said anything after your husband died?"
mdp.39015014541554	Did you make such a statement?"
mdp.39015014541554	Did you sleep well?"
mdp.39015014541554	Did you?"
mdp.39015014541554	Do you know anything about it?"
mdp.39015014541554	Have you met him?"
mdp.39015014541554	He added,"Why do n't you go back to Whitman?"
mdp.39015014541554	He said,"Will you tell Miss Osgood, please, that Larry Whitman is here?"
mdp.39015014541554	He told her she was looking well and asked,"Is Bess home?"
mdp.39015014541554	He was a fine judge of wine and would, Finch no"Who gave you your instructions about the water bottle?"
mdp.39015014541554	Her lips shaped a question:"Is he dying?"
mdp.39015014541554	How can you ask such a question?"
mdp.39015014541554	How can you show such want of delicacy?"
mdp.39015014541554	How could I let Simon's brutality pass without notice?"
mdp.39015014541554	How do you feel a second inquiry should be con- ducted, Coroner?"
mdp.39015014541554	How had they produced a daughter like Amy?
mdp.39015014541554	How is she getting along at school?"
mdp.39015014541554	How much of oneself was trans- mitted?
mdp.39015014541554	How much self- identification with one's son could there be?
mdp.39015014541554	Hungerford?"
mdp.39015014541554	I realize you are his wife — I do n't want you to think I'm thrusting you aside — but will you allow us to have full charge of him?
mdp.39015014541554	I said jokingly,'What were you doing in the stables, Nellie?
mdp.39015014541554	I thought it was kind of him to come here for Simon's funeral, but you did n't see much of him, did you?"
mdp.39015014541554	I wonder why she sent for young Whitman?
mdp.39015014541554	Is n't he"—she was fired with enthusiasm again—"the noblest of men?"
mdp.39015014541554	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015014541554	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015014541554	It wo n't be too much trouble?"
mdp.39015014541554	Keep- ing the horses company?'
mdp.39015014541554	Mr. Hichens asked,"When did you first discuss with Mrs. Redding the fact that her husband's illness was the result of poison?"
mdp.39015014541554	Mr. Hichens finally dropped it and inquired,"When he made this alleged statement, did you ask him what poison he took?"
mdp.39015014541554	Oh, what is his name?
mdp.39015014541554	Osgood — I'm one of the neighbors — are you a friend of hers?"
mdp.39015014541554	Osgood?"
mdp.39015014541554	Osgood?"
mdp.39015014541554	Osgood?"
mdp.39015014541554	Perhaps you ladies will do me the honor of allowing me to take you?"
mdp.39015014541554	Pneumonia, you said?
mdp.39015014541554	Redding?"
mdp.39015014541554	Redding?"
mdp.39015014541554	Redding?"
mdp.39015014541554	Redding?"
mdp.39015014541554	Redding?"
mdp.39015014541554	Redding?"
mdp.39015014541554	Sayers?"
mdp.39015014541554	Sayers?"
mdp.39015014541554	Sayers?"
mdp.39015014541554	She added teasingly,"The gravest financial problems at the bank had to give way to its arrival, did n't they?"
mdp.39015014541554	She did n't give any reason at all?"
mdp.39015014541554	She had kissed him and cried,"Father, did you bring me a present?
mdp.39015014541554	She said,"Amy, my dear, are n't you letting this affair become too much for you?
mdp.39015014541554	She was lying — and if she was innocent, why?
mdp.39015014541554	Shipley?"
mdp.39015014541554	Something remembered and brought into place?
mdp.39015014541554	The beginning of conjecture?
mdp.39015014541554	The coroner relayed it:"Have you considered the possibility that the deceased put it in the burgundy himself?"
mdp.39015014541554	The water bottle?
mdp.39015014541554	Then it's more inexplicable than ever, is n't it?"
mdp.39015014541554	Tomlinson?"
mdp.39015014541554	Was Amy Redding going to tell them to the son of her former lover?
mdp.39015014541554	Was she rational?"
mdp.39015014541554	What caused it?"
mdp.39015014541554	What did he have to do with the case?
mdp.39015014541554	What did you do that day?"
mdp.39015014541554	What else could there be?"
mdp.39015014541554	What her mother did — that wo n't change your feeling toward Bess, will it?"
mdp.39015014541554	What was Amy thinking of?
mdp.39015014541554	What was there to say?
mdp.39015014541554	What will Amy's family and friends think?
mdp.39015014541554	When did his excessive drinking become noticeable?"
mdp.39015014541554	When did it take place?"
mdp.39015014541554	When he had finished his glass of wine and declined a second, he said,"Will you excuse us, Mrs. Redding?
mdp.39015014541554	When it was ended Mr. Hichens asked,"Did your son at any time in your presence state the cause of his seizure?"
mdp.39015014541554	When she was gone Bess looked at the doctor over the rim of her glass and asked,"How is Larry?"
mdp.39015014541554	Whitman?"
mdp.39015014541554	Whitman?"
mdp.39015014541554	Whitman?"
mdp.39015014541554	Who was Dr. Whitman?
mdp.39015014541554	Why should I have?"
mdp.39015014541554	Why should any- one fortunate enough to live in their city want to leave it?
mdp.39015014541554	Why should she be eager to show that her husband was disposed toward suicide?
mdp.39015014541554	Why the devil should I have sent for you fellows if I knew what was the matter with me?"
mdp.39015014541554	Why was she encouraging Simon?
mdp.39015014541554	Why, I ca n't believe he'd Dr. Shipley did n't mention it in his note — are you sure you did n't misunderstand him?"
mdp.39015014541554	Will you fetch him, please?'"
mdp.39015014541554	Will you get me one and bring it up to me, please?"
mdp.39015014541554	Will you marry me right away?
mdp.39015014541554	Will you say it, darling?"
mdp.39015014541554	Will you tell me, please, just how bad you think my husband's condition is?"
mdp.39015014541554	Wo n't you see her in the morning before you leave for Boston and try to change her mind?
mdp.39015014541554	Would you say it could have been put in the burgundy the deceased drank at dinner?"
mdp.39015014541554	You would look out for her?"
mdp.39015014541554	You yourself ca n't tell what she's thinking, can you?
mdp.39015014541554	to having your mother- in- law and her maid take full charge of him?"
mdp.39015014541554	why had she ever married him?
mdp.39015059386097	And so you think you have a clew?'' mdp.39015059386097 Aw trouble?
mdp.39015059386097	Did you blow up the building?
mdp.39015059386097	Have we met? ” asked Miss Watts, with a questioning look at the stranger. mdp.39015059386097 Is the swag safe? ” asked one of the rob- bers, hoarsely.
mdp.39015059386097	What do I care for one hundred thousand dollars, when my honor and my country's fair name are at stake?
mdp.39015059386097	What do you mean? ” asked Mr. Watts. mdp.39015059386097 What is the effect of ozonotic gas on human tissue? ” asked the youth, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
mdp.39015059386097	What is this? ” he asked. mdp.39015059386097 Where's Wolf Pete? ” asked Edgar Black, with an oath.
mdp.39015059386097	Why do you not pursue an investigation of the case, that you may bring the guilty parties to justice? ” asked Lawrence Hether- 97 Bang! mdp.39015059386097 You understand?"
mdp.39015059386097	And you?"
mdp.39015059386097	Can you find the thief? ”"I can, ” replied Clarence, and, drawing his notebook, he hastily made a few notes.
mdp.39015059386097	Chapter 4 QUICK WORK W HAT was our hero to do?
mdp.39015059386097	Could aught save him?
mdp.39015059386097	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015059386097	Have you your revolvers with you? ” “ Yes, ” said Alexander, producing his trusty weapons and inspecting them care- fully.
mdp.39015059386097	Is there no one else who can identify this tooth? ” “ There is a way, ” said our hero.
mdp.39015059386097	Slowly the glorious eyes opened, and then she asked, in tremulous tones: “ Where is he?"
mdp.39015059386097	Then her ne Wrere you going? ”.
mdp.39015059386097	We must be off. ”"Have you the orders? ” “ Never mind the orders, ” said the bearded stranger, drawing a revolver.
mdp.39015059386097	What he read was as follows: 91- Ado Ap of V/ E T P D G 2 ° y se J?
mdp.39015059386097	What was he to do?
mdp.39015059386097	What were they going to do?
mdp.39015059386097	Who are you? ” “ I will show you, ” said she, and with a swift movement the wig was removed.
mdp.39015059386097	Who are you? ”"Í, ” said the youth in the box, “ am Eddie Parks, the Newsboy Detective!"
mdp.39015059386097	Who was she?
mdp.39015059386097	e ho “ Do you know what this means? ” asked the stranger with a grim smile.
mdp.39015059386097	ever used that tooth? ” asked the lawyer.
mdp.39015059386097	“ And he escaped?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ And now what do you propose doing?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ And why did you purloin the cuffs? ” asked the Chief.
mdp.39015059386097	“ Are you sure that you can hypnotize Hiram Clivington? ” asked one.
mdp.39015059386097	“ Are you sure the money is on this train?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ Are you sure they will perish in the flames? ” asked Herbert Blusco, with an oath.
mdp.39015059386097	“ But tell me, have you secured any evidence?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ Did you ring for towels, gents? ” asked she in a pleasant manner.
mdp.39015059386097	“ Hello! ” “ Who is this?
mdp.39015059386097	“ How dare you strike this woman?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ How dare you strike this woman?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ How did you come into possession of this information?"
mdp.39015059386097	“ Major Claro? ” “ Yes, sir. ”"'I am Captain Rico Portico, and I have just returned from a secret mission to Chi- cago.
mdp.39015059386097	“ May I trust you? ” he asked, taking the hand of Captain Portico.
mdp.39015059386097	“ Then you refuse? ” asked Mortimer Blake, with a hiss.
mdp.39015059386097	“ What do you mean? ” she asked, in doubt and fear.

hvd.hwkl2i	126 CAUGHT IN THE NET What do you think they did then?
hvd.hwkl2i	146 CAUGHT IN THE NET “ What! ” said he; “ is it you that I have been keeping waiting?
hvd.hwkl2i	260 CAUGHT IN THE NET “ But what shock has she received? ” asked André.
hvd.hwkl2i	354 CAUGHT IN THE NET “ And who has been employing you?"
hvd.hwkl2i	A FRIENDLY RIVAL 245 “ Are you M. André? ” asked De Breulh.
hvd.hwkl2i	A STARTLING REVELATION 165 “ But this man, ” said he, after a long pause, — “ how do you manage ever to see him?
hvd.hwkl2i	All the servants in the house hate you, and would be glad to see you come to grief. ” “ Is that really so, sir?
hvd.hwkl2i	All these were good times, while now"“ Well, what have you to grumble at now?
hvd.hwkl2i	And ai n't we just dunned! ” “ But the Mussidans are wealthy?"
hvd.hwkl2i	And now, lastly, where is the receipt? ” Madame de Bois Arden turned very pale and trem- bled violently.
hvd.hwkl2i	And then, what then?
hvd.hwkl2i	And what shawl?
hvd.hwkl2i	Are we not as clever as this fine fellow?
hvd.hwkl2i	Are you not my father?
hvd.hwkl2i	Are you sure of your servants? ” “ Certainly; my valet has been sixteen years in my service.
hvd.hwkl2i	As soon as André had released her hand, Sabine took off her hat, and, handing it to Modeste, remarked, “ How am I looking to- day, André?
hvd.hwkl2i	Be- fore giving up the game, would it not be best to be satisfied on these points? ” Paul felt a little reassured.
hvd.hwkl2i	Be- sides, can you not understand that your dress is too shabby for you to make an impression on the people you go to see?
hvd.hwkl2i	Beaumarchef seemed highly flattered, but continued, — “ This is not all. ” “ What else is there to tell?"
hvd.hwkl2i	But they spoke in whispers. ” “ So you did not hear what they said? ” “ Do you take me for a flat?
hvd.hwkl2i	But they spoke in whispers. ” “ So you did not hear what they said? ” “ Do you take me for a flat?
hvd.hwkl2i	But why should a cryptogram have been used?
hvd.hwkl2i	Can it be that he is sharper than I fancied?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Can it be that she has any knowl- edge of the birth of this natural child? ” “ I do n't think much of your idea,"returned Tan- taine carelessly.
hvd.hwkl2i	Can not we form an alliance to ward off this attack?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Can they have received a more advantageous offer of marriage already?
hvd.hwkl2i	Can this be true?
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you forgive me?
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you give good references? ” These words seemed to be uttered by rote.
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you guess how?
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you lend me twenty thousand francs?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you not get the receipt from De Croisenois?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you recall what I said?
hvd.hwkl2i	Can you send it me in two hours?
hvd.hwkl2i	Certainly, he has led rather a fast life; but what young man is immaculate?
hvd.hwkl2i	Come, is he there? ” “ I think so. ” “ Thank you, I will call on him then.
hvd.hwkl2i	DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND 289 “ Why did you put a man to watch her? ” asked Tantaine.
hvd.hwkl2i	De Croisenois started; he had never suffered from hunger, but how could he tell what the future might bring?
hvd.hwkl2i	Did he submit without a word to such treatment? ” “ He certainly said nothing,"replied Madame de Bois Arden.
hvd.hwkl2i	Did not M. Mascarin, on my recommendation, put you in a way of earning your livelihood?
hvd.hwkl2i	Did she write to make the blow fall heavier?
hvd.hwkl2i	Did this man propose patronizing André, and thus place his position and wealth in contrast with that of the obscure painter?
hvd.hwkl2i	Did you not hear what the old woman said?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do n't I hand you a five- franc piece every day that you are at work? ” “ But that ai n't good enough.
hvd.hwkl2i	Do n't you think I'm up to you?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do not throw up all; am not I here ready to do your bidding, whatever it may be?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you by any chance regret your promise?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you care to learn my trade?'
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you ever read the Gazette des Tribunaux?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know M. de Croisenois? ” re- turned André.
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know him?'
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know my son? ” asked he, sud- denly turning upon André.
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know that you are an insolent rogue even to venture to look on Sabine de Mussidan?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know the end of them?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know what I was doing at your age?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you know what an heiress really is? ” “ Well, really —"“ Permit me to continue.
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you mean that the locket contains the likeness of some one that you intend to make use of later on?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you not recollect this winter that you detected a young man cheating at cards?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you not understand that with one word of hope from you I can live on? ” Sabine raised her head heavenwards.
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you not understand weak natures like his?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you now know why at this last moment I appeal to you, and not to Catenac for assistance?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you really think that I am an idiot?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you remem- 308 CAUGHT IN THE NET ber that Madame de Bois Arden told us that during Sabine's illness her father and mother never left her bedside?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you remember what he said the last time he was here?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you think I did n't live better before MASTER CHUPIN 195 I had anything to do with this blooming old cove?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you think it likely that old Nicholas Gandelu would ever have been ass enough to call his son Gaston?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you think that those days taught me nothing? ” “ You will be able to judge me all the more clearly then,"returned André.
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you think that we are such a pair of fools as to risk all these hazards without some almost certain chance of success?
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you think that your nose and eyelids are not real telltales?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Do you think,"he continued in tones of deep sarcasm, “ that we can not speak openly before the Marquis?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Does her husband know that she has an account with us?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Does it not work smoothly like a perfect piece of mechanism?
hvd.hwkl2i	Does not all this form a chain of strange coincidences?
hvd.hwkl2i	Does that surprise you?
hvd.hwkl2i	FATHER AND SON 295 “ Ah, it is you, is it?
hvd.hwkl2i	Had Hortebise failed?
hvd.hwkl2i	Had the reply of Charles been in the affirma- tive?

hvd.hwkl2i	Has there been a robbery? ” “ How can I tell?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have I neglected anything for your happi- ness? ” asked the banker, with a sigh.
hvd.hwkl2i	Have I not gone from publisher to pub- 10 CAUGHT IN THE NET lisher to sell those songs of my own composing — those songs that you sing so well?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have I not met you at my father's house?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have we not reached the acme of misery? ” The old man raised his hand to heaven, as if to seek for aid from above.
hvd.hwkl2i	Have we not succeeded in nearly all our schemes?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have you always been deaf to the whisperings of conscience?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have you ever been hungry, M. de Croisenois?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Have you finished that report on Gandelu, Beaumarchef?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have you forgotten this marriage of De Croisenois?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have you never had any suspicion?
hvd.hwkl2i	Have you not everything to insure success?
hvd.hwkl2i	He could make nothing, however, of his visitor, and said, “ Whom do you wish to see, sir?"
hvd.hwkl2i	He had arrived at the desired spot; how should he set to work to obtain the information that he required?
hvd.hwkl2i	He is never home until after four in the morning. ” “ And what does his wife say?"
hvd.hwkl2i	He wanted to squander money, and to have the sympathy of some companions,—but where should he go, for he had no friends?
hvd.hwkl2i	How did you find her, Beau- marchef? ” “ Well, an idea occurred to me."
hvd.hwkl2i	How do we stand now with regard to the Viscountess Bois Arden? ” Van Klopen gave his shoulders a shrug as he an-'swered, “ She is all right.
hvd.hwkl2i	How do you get on with Count de Mussidan? ”.
hvd.hwkl2i	How goes the great affair?
hvd.hwkl2i	How many days will that last us?
hvd.hwkl2i	How much do you want for these papers? ”"Oh, my lord! ” exclaimed Mascarin; “ surely you do not think that I could be guilty-?"
hvd.hwkl2i	How much do you want for these papers? ”"Oh, my lord! ” exclaimed Mascarin; “ surely you do not think that I could be guilty-?"
hvd.hwkl2i	How should we live?
hvd.hwkl2i	I ask you, have I left one stone unturned?
hvd.hwkl2i	I easily found out her address, and set a watch on her. ” 290 CAUGHT IN THE NET “ And of what use will she be to you? ” “ Very little, I fear.
hvd.hwkl2i	I had made up my mind to be a painter. ” “ And you kept your vow? ” “ But with the greatest difficulty.
hvd.hwkl2i	I have just sent her several most expensive costumes. ” “ How much does she owe you? ” “ Say twenty- five thousand francs.
hvd.hwkl2i	I offer you a fresh lease of life; will you become a new man? ” Paul heaved a deep sigh.
hvd.hwkl2i	I only wished to ask you if you would know the girl again? ” “ Perfectly — a really splendid girl, with hair that you do not see every day.
hvd.hwkl2i	I shall have an excellent report to make of you to M. Mascarin. ” “ I am so glad; and now my husband and I are quite safe?"
hvd.hwkl2i	I took a match, and said, “ Have a light, 24 CAUGHT IN THE NET my noble swell?'
hvd.hwkl2i	If it is impossible to lay our hands upon the real boy, why should we not sub- stitute another? ” At this suggestion, Tantaine started violently.
hvd.hwkl2i	If so, why was the last word not in cipher?
hvd.hwkl2i	Is not this lucky? ” Mascarin made a little grimace.
hvd.hwkl2i	Leave us, Beaumarchef, ” said the latter, with an imperious wave of his hand;'“ and now, my dear boy, what is it? ” Paul sank into a chair.
hvd.hwkl2i	M. Rigal or Mademoiselle Flavia might interrogate me at any moment? ” “ I see; but do not disquiet yourself.
hvd.hwkl2i	Mad?
hvd.hwkl2i	Mascarin? ” asked Paul hesitatingly.
hvd.hwkl2i	May I ask his name?
hvd.hwkl2i	Men will say, “ Do you see what Croisenois is at now?
hvd.hwkl2i	Now, suppose that one man should gain possession of all of them, would he not be sole and absolute master?
hvd.hwkl2i	Now, will you let me have the number of the note, if you still have it?
hvd.hwkl2i	Oh, the Duke —"“ Was it the Duke de Champdoce?"
hvd.hwkl2i	PUTTING ON THE SCREW 21 “ Most certainly, ” answered M. Melusin; “ but how did you know that?
hvd.hwkl2i	PUTTING ON THE SCREW Do you think that, in order to be rich, you must per- force be a rogue?
hvd.hwkl2i	Paul Violaine?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Perhaps you have not forgotten a fatal accident which took place out shooting, and darkened the earlier years of our mar- ried life?
hvd.hwkl2i	Pray go into my private room; and this gentleman is with you?
hvd.hwkl2i	Pray how much does a man earn who climbs the ladder with a bricklayer's hod upon his shoulders?
hvd.hwkl2i	Pray, what can you do?
hvd.hwkl2i	Shall I in- troduce you to him? ” “ Am I a perfect fool, to throw away such a chance? ” “ Good!
hvd.hwkl2i	Shall I in- troduce you to him? ” “ Am I a perfect fool, to throw away such a chance? ” “ Good!
hvd.hwkl2i	Shall I tell it to you?
hvd.hwkl2i	Shall I try again?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Shall I, ” continued the grocer, “ send one of the errand boys to the nearest police station?"
hvd.hwkl2i	She is a splendid woman, and does n't she just squander the shiners?
hvd.hwkl2i	She knocked at the door, and in she went, while I lounged about outside. ” “ Do you know who lives there? ” “ Of course I do.
hvd.hwkl2i	She wo n't Aling away the money that she has paid for fees. ” “ And what do you think that she cares for ten sous or ten francs?
hvd.hwkl2i	Splendid animals, are they not?
hvd.hwkl2i	THIEF “ But what do you think I can do? ” “ Everything, sir; but let me tell you the whole hideous complication."
hvd.hwkl2i	Tell me, is there any chance of my doing so?'
hvd.hwkl2i	The gal said, “ Do you understand?-to- morrow.
hvd.hwkl2i	The grocer round the corner told me that it was inhabited by the Duke what was his blessed name?
hvd.hwkl2i	The pearl which lies in the depths of the ocean is not lost for ever; for may not some skillful diver bring it to the surface?
hvd.hwkl2i	The question was, had the old man heard anything of the preceding conversation?
hvd.hwkl2i	The rogues say that they can prove everything. ” “ Have you the letter with you? ” De Clinchain drew the missive from his pocket.
hvd.hwkl2i	Then he added, aloud, “ Would you not like to know her name? ” “ Tell me, I entreat you."
hvd.hwkl2i	Then he considered, for whom had the painter dressed himself with such care?
hvd.hwkl2i	Then the swell chap, says he, ‘ Do you promise?'
hvd.hwkl2i	There is a mystery in the lives of the Duke and Duchess, — of this there is no doubt,—but what is this secret?
hvd.hwkl2i	There is some secret that we must learn, for we dare not work in the dark. ”"Shall I go to the Hôtel de Mussidan? ” asked Hortebise.
hvd.hwkl2i	This seems strange to you, does it?
hvd.hwkl2i	Van Klopen is engaged, is he?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was he alive?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was he to be trusted?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was her husband acquainted with the existence of the letters?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was it an allusion to the past?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was it because the demand was of so dan- gerous and compromising a character that it was im- possible to put it in plain language?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was not Van Klopen's behavior very unexpected?
hvd.hwkl2i	Was there any one inside? ” “ I should think there was!
hvd.hwkl2i	Well, Beaumarchef, how did you get on? ” “ All right, sir,"returned he, with a look of tri- umph.
hvd.hwkl2i	Were not our positions entirely similar?
hvd.hwkl2i	Were you or were you not ignorant that the Duke de Champdoce had a certain way of recognizing his son, and that was by a certain inefface- able scar?"
hvd.hwkl2i	What are they?
hvd.hwkl2i	What better position could you be in? ” “ But I have the reputation of being a reckless spend- thrift. ” “ All the better.
hvd.hwkl2i	What can I get on that threadbare coat of yours?
hvd.hwkl2i	What could I do?
hvd.hwkl2i	What did he say when he asked you to introduce him to the Mussidans? ” “ Nothing pointed. ” “ Then, madame, do not disturb yourself to- night.
hvd.hwkl2i	What did the liveried servants, who waited at table with such an affectation of inter- est, care for the sorrows of their master or mistress?
hvd.hwkl2i	What did you do instead of studying law?
hvd.hwkl2i	What do you mean? ”.
hvd.hwkl2i	What do you think of Paul Violaine? ” Hortebise walked up and down the room two or three times, and finally stopped opposite to his friend.
hvd.hwkl2i	What do you think, André?"
hvd.hwkl2i	What engagement was to be can- celled, and how could such a rupture affect her father or his friend?
hvd.hwkl2i	What fresh efforts can I try?
hvd.hwkl2i	What have you seen? ” During this conversation they were walking slowly along the quay, and had passed the Hôtel Dieu.
hvd.hwkl2i	What is his position?"
hvd.hwkl2i	What on earth possessed him to go into Company work?'
hvd.hwkl2i	What terrible event has hap- pened since then?
hvd.hwkl2i	What would the neighbors say?
hvd.hwkl2i	What would you do, were you in my place?
hvd.hwkl2i	When De Breulh referred to fortune- hunters, was this a side blow at André?
hvd.hwkl2i	When did you see him last?"
hvd.hwkl2i	When my only wish was to win you for my wife, how did I know that you were weaving a hideous conspiracy against me?
hvd.hwkl2i	When people saw you so gay and careless under the oak- trees of your ancestral home, who could have suspected that your heart contained a dark secret?
hvd.hwkl2i	Who can say that your father may not have been of the noblest blood of France, and that he has not lands and wealth?
hvd.hwkl2i	Who could have expected to find such a sum concealed beneath the old man's tatters, and how could he have obtained so much money?
hvd.hwkl2i	Who could this man be whom she so fondly loved and preferred be- fore all others?
hvd.hwkl2i	Who has not done some of it in his time?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why did I not tell you this before?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why did she lie to me?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why do they worry me when I unhesitatingly pay the extravagant interest they are pleased to demand?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why should I not profit by this stolen secret?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why should not Paul have been in good spirits?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why, pray, should I not find a wife for him among those heiresses who have a million or two to give the man they marry?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why, then, is not the marriage a suitable one?
hvd.hwkl2i	Why, what can she be telling him?
hvd.hwkl2i	Will you wait for him in his private room?
hvd.hwkl2i	Wo n't Flavia be awfully pleased? ” CHAPTER II.
hvd.hwkl2i	Would I not see him?
hvd.hwkl2i	Would he not be able to sway society in any manner he might think fit?
hvd.hwkl2i	Would he not be more powerful than a despot on his throne?
hvd.hwkl2i	Would it not add to his impor- tance if he were to go and pay this debt?
hvd.hwkl2i	Would not that be a strong point? ”.
hvd.hwkl2i	Would you like to be a duke? ” “ Ah, sir, ” stammered the young man.
hvd.hwkl2i	Yes, this is what took place. ” “ Why do n't you say at once that the whole scheme is knocked on the head? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hwkl2i	You are engaged in a secret on his behalf. ” “ You know that also? ” “ I know everything that may be made subservient to our ends.
hvd.hwkl2i	You did — what?
hvd.hwkl2i	You envy me my good fortune, but did we not all start penniless?
hvd.hwkl2i	You have now seen my establish- ment; what do you think of it?"
hvd.hwkl2i	You know Lorin?
hvd.hwkl2i	You may look for that shawl, Catenac, but you will not find it. ” “ Have you got that shawl?"
hvd.hwkl2i	You will ask why?
hvd.hwkl2i	You would like that, I suppose?"
hvd.hwkl2i	Your carriage is waiting, is it not?
hvd.hwkl2i	Zora is a quaint name, is it not?
hvd.hwkl2i	and have you never thought of the future punishment which most certainly awaits you?
hvd.hwkl2i	and what did she say?"
hvd.hwkl2i	and why had he requested him not to smoke?
hvd.hwkl2i	cried the Countess; “ what, then, do they require?
hvd.hwkl2i	do you have ideas at your time of life? ” Beaumarchef put on an air of importance.
hvd.hwkl2i	have I not caused him sufficient annoyance already without this crowning sor- row?
hvd.hwkl2i	how long ago? ” “ About three o'clock, madame."
hvd.hwkl2i	indeed? ” mused the Countess.
hvd.hwkl2i	no success?
hvd.hwkl2i	not with all your means?
hvd.hwkl2i	open the book and count the notes before he gave the receipt? ” The Viscountess thought for a moment.
hvd.hwkl2i	or had he any suspicion of the influence that had been brought to bear upon her?
hvd.hwkl2i	or had the phrase dropped from her husband's lips accidentally?
hvd.hwkl2i	portance, but this morning Toto Chupin came. ” “ He had not lost Caroline Schimmel, I trust?"
hvd.hwkl2i	the woman who was in the service of the Duchess of Champdoce?"
hvd.hwkl2i	they are respectable, are they? ” “ I'll answer for that.
hvd.hwkl2i	what can a man in your circum- stances have to fear?
hvd.hwkl2i	what shall I do without Van Klopen?
hvd.hwkl2i	who told you?"
hvd.hwkl2i	you have seen this done? ” “ Of course I have. ” “ And had you a share in the swag? ” “ To a certain extent.
hvd.hwkl2i	you have seen this done? ” “ Of course I have. ” “ And had you a share in the swag? ” “ To a certain extent.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ A nice position we are in! ” said she at last. “ What do you think will become of us? ” “ Alas!
hvd.hwkl2i	“ A room, do you say?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ After all, ” thought he, “ why should I refuse?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Ah! ” said he majestically, “ a business agent, are you?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Ah, is that you?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Ah, sir! ” said he, and this time he spoke in softer accents, “ what can you possibly do for us? ” “ Who can say?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Ah, sir! ” said he, and this time he spoke in softer accents, “ what can you possibly do for us? ” “ Who can say?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Ah,"said the doctor pleasantly, “ do you take your nips of brandy regularly? ” “ Only occasionally, sir,"stammered the man.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ All is over, and I am dismissed. ” “ Where are you going to?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ All the better for me,"ex- claimed he; “ and now let us hunt up Caroline Schim- mel. ” “ Is she here?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Am I a fool? ” asked Mascarin contemptuously.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Am I not the master here? ” exclaimed he in ac- cents of intense rage.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Am I not too happy? ” he would say to himself.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Am I to re- main for the rest of my days in this villain's power?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Am I wrong in looking to you for this trifle?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Am not I the head of this association?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And am I not so? ” answered the Marquis.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And do you know what use my son would make of my fortune?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And how can you insist?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And is this the reason that you say you are dis- honored?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And now we are friends, are we not?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And now, ” continued Mascarin, “ I have come to your aid, and what do you say to a situation with a salary of twelve thousand francs?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And pray, who is this woman? ” asked Mascarin.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And so this is your opinion, is it?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And so,"murmured she, “ the little lady's name was Sabine- a pretty name; and she is ill, is she?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And so,"said he, turning to Catenac, “ you have only two hundred thousand francs?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And suppose I accept, ” asked he, “ what will be the end of the farce? ”.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And suppose,"said he, “ that I, the lender, was to put the borrower in a position to repay the advance before a month had passed?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And that is all? ” asked she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And where do you think that a foundling, as I am, would find a protector? ” Paul opened his eyes.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And why do you love him?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And why not? ” asked he in astonishment.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And why should n't I?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And yet he called on you to- day?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And you, what are you?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ And, ” continued André, “ how was it that Van Klopen knew De Croisenois'name?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ André, ” said she, impatiently, “ are you never coming up?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Anything new, La Cordille? ” enquired the old man.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Are these letters, then, so terribly compromising? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Are you alarmed? ” asked Mascarin, readjusting his spectacles.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Are you certain of this statement?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Are you joking? ” said she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Are you mad? ” said they at length, with one voice.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Are you speaking seriously? ” said he angrily.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Because this visit will be my last, André. ” “ The last?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Besides, ” continued Mademoiselle de Mussidan, “ what is to be done with the portrait?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But I assure you, sir-"“ Do you not remember I told you that you had asthmatic symptoms?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But for all that he could remember that he had writing materials with him, and give you a receipt? ” The Viscountess was utterly bewildered.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But how can I help you? ” “ You can go and make inquiries at the house."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But how does this trouble you? ” “ I will tell you.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But if you exerted your influence? ” The Countess shook her head.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But what about the accusation of theft? ” “ I am coming to that, ” returned the young man.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But who is the other?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But why should you introduce me to her then?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ But, ” said André, “ your bill was not exactly twenty thousand francs, was it? ” “ No,"answered the Viscountess.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Can I see Florestan? ” “ In Count de Mussidan's service, I believe?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Can I see Florestan? ” “ In Count de Mussidan's service, I believe?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Can it be, ” said he, “ that the fellow is not a real servant, after all?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Can you not work? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Can you tell me the gentleman's name, to whom Madame said all this? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Clarisse, ” stammered he, “ how did you know of her?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Could you hear what they said?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Dear me, ” remarked Mascarin, appearing much shocked, “ surely that was not right? ” “ I do n't care a rap whether it was right or not.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did Father Canon tell you that I was here? ” asked the young man, who was the Florestan Mascarin had been inquiring for.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did I do it all right? ” asked she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did not this letter go straight to your heart? ” asked Tantaine.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did she go home?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did the allowance cease at your mother's death?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did you hear all?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did you hear that? ” asked he, as soon as he had closed the door of his room with an angry slam.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did you not try and find out that?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Did you tell the woman just what I ordered you to say?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do all my repeated assurances count as nothing? ” “ We do not want promises now; what we do want is good faith and real co- operation."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you dare, under my roof, to deprive those poor children of an ounce of food?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you know where he lived before he came here? ” “ Of course I do, for I went to inquire about him in the Rue Jacob.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you love him, then, even now? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you mean that you think he would betray us? ” said he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you mean, ” said he, “ that De Breulh and this painter are friends?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you think as how I'm going to work like a horse, and not get a wink of sleep, just for a'thank ye, Chupin?'
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you think,"asked he, “ that Caroline can lead the life she does without money?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you want a receipt? ” asked the man.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Do you wish to enter your name?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Eh, sir? ” said Beaumarchef, much mystified.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Good! ” “ What are you talking about? ” asked the doctor.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Great heavens! ” said he, “ why did you not speak sooner?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Has any other suitor present- ed himself?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have I not bid you fifty times that at the word'palace you are to place your bow on the fourth chalkmark and draw it across?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you any plan?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you considered every point carefully? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you done? ” asked he, all at once.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you ever tried the dodge yourself, then? ” sneered Polyte.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you examined your diary, and are the three leaves really missing? ” “ They are. ” “ How were they stolen?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you examined your diary, and are the three leaves really missing? ” “ They are. ” “ How were they stolen?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Have you informed my mother of M. de Breulh- Faverlay's arrival? ” asked she, as the footman ap- peared at the door.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ He has one friend at least; can you guess who it is?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How about the second time? ” “ Ah, that is a longer story.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How can I come to grief?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How could I anticipate such an infidelity, when only the evening before she swore by all she held most sacred that she loved me only?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How did you find out my little establishment down here? ” asked Perpignan.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How much do you want?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How shall we find this out? ” 6 I will see Florestan and try and find out."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How so? ” “ Because for twelve months past, I have given food and shelter to a girl of the name of Clarisse.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ How the deuce does the man know me? ” muttered he, forgetting that his name was over the door in gilt letters fully six inches long.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ I can hardly believe my senses,"muttered he; “ where on earth did the Marquis pick this fellow up?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ I wonder if that is all I have to say? ” mused Tan- taine.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is Mademoiselle going to be married? ” asked he with an air of respectful curiosity.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is he always like this, or only at intervals?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is he going to propose a berth of a hundred francs a month to me?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is it a vision, or only a miracle? ” But the smile died away, upon her lips, as she caught a glimpse of her visitor's pale and harassed face.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is it your wish to insult me, M. André? ” “ As you choose to take it. ” M. de Breulh was not gifted with an immense stock of patience.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is that all that you have to propose? ” asked she, in the same glacial tone.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is that all? ” asked she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is there any reply?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is there any- thing the matter?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is this the first time you ever saw well- dressed women?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Is this the way you execute your errands? ” asked Daddy Tantaine, snarling.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ It is as safe a mode of prac- tice as any other. ” “ Do you really think so? ”.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ It is not so fine as this, but more in accordance with your position. ” “ Where is it? ” asked Paul.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ It would seem as if you had known the contents of your mistress's letters? ” remarked Mascarin with a smile.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Might I ask what it is? ” “ I speak confidentially.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ My company ai n't any business of yours. ” “ Well, I give you warning, you will come to grief. ” “ How? ” returned Toto Chupin sulkily.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ No,—well, must I give you more?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Not money?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Now, sir, ” said she, “ do you comprehend me?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Now, ” remarked Mascarin, “ let me see,-on what footing do you stand with the Mussidans?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Of course you read it?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Of what other son- in- law are you speaking? ” asked she negligently.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Pooh, pooh! ” replied her husband, M. Loupins;"they will do well enough. ” “ Is that really your opinion? ” “ I know that I am right.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Pooh, ” cried Rose, “ what matters a name?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Pray, have you seen his cards?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Shall I ever be able to prove my gratitude to you? ” said he impulsively.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Sir, the young man is here. ” “ What young man?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Suppose, ” said she, “ I could give you a ray of future hope, what would you do then? ” “ What would I not do then?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Suppose, ” said she, “ I could give you a ray of future hope, what would you do then? ” “ What would I not do then?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ The Marquis de Croisenois?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Then you think that M. de Breulh- Faverlay will be a happy man?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Then you think that he will like me? ” asked she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Then, ” remarked Mascarin, savagely, “ that great booby, staggering about on his friend's arm, is your young lady's lover? ”.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Then, ” said he, “ Mademoiselle Sabine is the only nice one in the house? ” “ Yes, she is always gentle and considerate."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ To his studio? ” “ Yes, I have sat to him several times for my por- trait; but I have never done anything that I need blush to own.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Very slightly; he is of good family, and his brother George was much esteemed by all who knew him. ” “ Has he plenty of money?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Was it courage you lacked? ” asked the old man, turning for the first time to his son.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Was there ever such a girl? ” whispered he; “ but there, do n't jump at conclusions.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ We have known each other for five and twenty years,—what do you mean to imply?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, have you invented a costume that will be worthy of Madame's charms?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, tell me why you are watching her? ” “ How can you ask me?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, tell me why you are watching her? ” “ How can you ask me?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, what do you draw from this?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, what do you say, now? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, what news?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, what news?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, you can give an average? ” “ Say three francs then. ” “ Three francs!
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Well, ” said he, “ I will give up this idea; but how do I know that these documents are not forgeries?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What are you saying? ” said he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What are you saying? ” said he.. “ I say, ” repeated the agent, “ that I am sent to you in connection with this same marriage."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What can I do for you, sir? ” asked he with great politeness.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What could your mother have done for you more than I?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What did you say?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do I care for your orders?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do I hear? ” roared Perpignan.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you know about that? ” faltered she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you mean? ” asked the Viscountess, look- ing from one to the other.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you mean? ” stammered he; “ what is it you say now?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you mean? ” stammered he; “ what is it you say now?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you think of her? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you want here, sir? ” asked he angrily.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you want with him?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What do you want?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What errands?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What has happened?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What have I done to make you angry? ” asked she; “ and why do you have such evil thoughts of him?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What have I done to make you angry? ” asked she; “ and why do you have such evil thoughts of him?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What have you lost? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What idiot is coming here to annoy me? ” roared he, as soon as the door was opened.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is annoying you, Octave? ” asked she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is it that is so important?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is it?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the good of saying this to me?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the matter — are you not well? ” “ Madame! ” “ Will you have the kindness to tell me what has taken place?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the matter — are you not well? ” “ Madame! ” “ Will you have the kindness to tell me what has taken place?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the matter, Clotilde?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the matter?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the matter? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the matter? ” cried I.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is the state of your finances? ” Mascarin made a grimace.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is there to be frightened at?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What is this marriage contract which my poor Sabine announces to me, as if it was her death- war- rant?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What then, doctor?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What! ” said he, as he clenched his hand firmly, “ shall the headstrong passion of this foolish boy mar my plans?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What, you here again! ” cried Mascarin, angrily; “ am I to have no peace to- day?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What, ” said he, “ do you still let your thoughts dwell on that woman?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ What, ” said his patron reproachfully, “ have you no pride?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ When will he be back?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Where can he get his money from? ” asked Mascarin of himself; and, after a long search, he succeeded in solving the riddle.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Where does she live?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Where is she living now? ” Beaumarchef was utterly overwhelmed by this sim- ple question.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who am I then? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who can say?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who do you want here? ” growled she.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who is the next one? ” asked he, rudely.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who told you all this? ” gasped he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who went with her? ” “ Her maid, Modeste. ” “ Did Mademoiselle say where she was going to? ” “ No, madame."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Who went with her? ” “ Her maid, Modeste. ” “ Did Mademoiselle say where she was going to? ” “ No, madame."
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why are you so certain?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why ca n't M. André take his meals with us? ” asked she of her aunt.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why do you flash that trinket at me? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why do you not do something instead of talking so much? ” “ That is not at all the same kind of thing,"answered she coolly.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why doubt, then, if you do not understand?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why not, pray?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why not?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why should he not if it were to his interests to do so?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why then this resolve? ” asked he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why, how could you prevent it?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Why, in talking of this imaginary fortune?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Will you never forget that I am wealthy?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Will you take a glass of beer, or a liquor of brandy, sir? ” said he.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Would it not be a cruel injustice, madame, to draw a comparison be- tween you and this unhappy girl?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Yes, my cove, that and no less. ” “ And what will you give in return?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ Yes; was it not through you that I was accused of theft by that old hag, Madame Loupins?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You are afraid, then?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You are an idiot. ” “ Why so?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You are horrified, are you? ” continued the Count, with a sneer.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You are in pain, sir? ” said André.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You are, ” remarked he, civilly, “ Paul Violaine, are you not?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You give in, do you?
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You have an account to settle with me? ” asked Daddy Tantaine with a puzzled smile.
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You know a banknote then?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You may tell this, ” continued the Count, “ to those by whom you are employed. ” “ Excuse me, my lord"“ But what?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You must have known M. Paul for some time, as you seem so thoroughly acquainted with his habits?"
hvd.hwkl2i	“ You under- stand that you can no longer remain at the Hôtel de Perou?
hvd.hwkl2i	“'How much do you want for that?'
hvd.hwkl2i	“'You have picked up the scraps of paper I threw away?'
hvd.hwkl2i	” asked he,“the fellow that looks like an Englishman? ” “ Do you not know? ” returned the lackey.
hvd.hwkl2i	” asked he,“the fellow that looks like an Englishman? ” “ Do you not know? ” returned the lackey.
hvd.hwkl2i	” retorted Perpignan; “ do you think each of the lads bring in such a sum as that? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl2i	” “ Was the house in the Rue de la Tour d'Au- vergne? ” broke in Mascarin.
hvd.hxdiaw	*- “ Oh, no; standing on a very substantial roof. ” “ But what is it all about? ” I questioned.
hvd.hxdiaw	- “ Feel better? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	- “ What is it? ” Swain asked, looking at me.
hvd.hxdiaw	- “ Where did you first meet Silva? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	. ” “ This what? ” Hinman interrupted.
hvd.hxdiaw	198 THE GLOVED HAND “ You thought that would be the natural thing for Mr. Swain to do, did you not? ” the coroner inquired.
hvd.hxdiaw	296 THE GLOVED HAND What was she doing in there?
hvd.hxdiaw	5* “ Is it you, doctor? ” asked Godfrey, leaning Out.
hvd.hxdiaw	98 THE GLOVED HAND “ Where is this man Swain? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	After all, what claim have you upon her? ” “ I admit that I have no claim, ” I said, more calmly.
hvd.hxdiaw	After all, why not?
hvd.hxdiaw	After that, I stayed for Miss Marjorie's sake. ” “ You thought she needed you? ” “ Yes, I did.
hvd.hxdiaw	Am I laying awake nights worrying about them?
hvd.hxdiaw	And I think I can guess at the stake he's playing for. ” “ You mean Miss Vaughan? ”- THE GLOVED HAND I35.
hvd.hxdiaw	And how did he get there?
hvd.hxdiaw	And it was a beau- tiful scoop! ” “ What time did you get up? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	And thank you very much, Mrs. Hargis. ”, “ Is there anything else I can do, sir? ” 50 THE GLOVED HAND “ No, thank you. ” “ Mr.
hvd.hxdiaw	Are these cigars purchasable?
hvd.hxdiaw	But I'm going to see if I ca n't prove one part of it true to- night. ” “ Which part? ” “ About his being a fakir.
hvd.hxdiaw	But he urged it only for my father's sake. ” “ So you determined to appeal to Mr. Swain? ” The colour deepened in her cheeks again.
hvd.hxdiaw	But how did you get in? ” “ The gates were open, ” Hinman answered, “ so I drove right through.
hvd.hxdiaw	But is n't such an explanation pos- sible? ” “ I do n't think so.
hvd.hxdiaw	But tell me, Swain, what is it you fear? ” “ I fear Silva ” said Swain, in a voice husky with emotion.
hvd.hxdiaw	But there are some things you will have to tell me. ” “ What are they? ” “ Do you desire a minister? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdiaw	But there are some things you will have to tell me. ” “ What are they? ” “ Do you desire a minister? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdiaw	But what if she will not go? ” “ Then she must be made to go. ” “ Another “ must'1"he rejoined lightly.
hvd.hxdiaw	But what's the proposition? ” “ I ’m staying at a little place I've leased for the summer up on the far edge of the Bronx.
hvd.hxdiaw	But where are the servants?
hvd.hxdiaw	But where were they?
hvd.hxdiaw	But, in the next step of the tragedy, one detail is uncertain — whose hand was it drew the cord around your father's throat?
hvd.hxdiaw	Can I give you a bed, Sim- monds? ” “ No, thanks, ” said Simmonds.
hvd.hxdiaw	Can you tie such a knot? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hxdiaw	Could n't you arrest him on suspicion and keep him locked up for two or three days, Simmonds? ” “ I might, ” Simmonds grunted.
hvd.hxdiaw	Did he follow us? ” She stopped again, as she saw the look in Goldberger's eyes, and then the look in mine.
hvd.hxdiaw	Did you see him? ” “ Only for a minute.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do n't you agree, Mr. Godfrey? ” “ That is a possible explanation, ” Godfrey con- ceded.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do n't you think so, Mr. Swain? ” 6o THE GLOVED HAND Swain nodded vacantly, but I could see that he had not understood.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do n't you think you deserve it? ” “ Yes, ” I agreed with conviction, “ I do; ” and I cast my mind rapidly over the affairs of the of.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do you feel the button? ” “ Yes, ” I said, and pressed it.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do you know how she is this morning? ” “ No, ” I said; “ I have n't seen Hinman.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do you see the difference? ” “ I see what you mean; but I do n't think it amounts to much.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do you see the other victim?
hvd.hxdiaw	Do you want to go and see? ” “ No, ” I said decidedly, “ I do n’t.
hvd.hxdiaw	Do you? ” I groaned as I thought of the inferno I called my bedroom.
hvd.hxdiaw	During your altercation with Mr. Waughan, did you at any time touch him? ” “ Touch him?
hvd.hxdiaw	During your altercation with Mr. Waughan, did you at any time touch him? ” “ Touch him?
hvd.hxdiaw	Even a roadside juggler does n't do his tricks for nothing — what reward is it this fellow's working for?
hvd.hxdiaw	Even with the men on guard, you may be too late. ” “ Just what is it you're afraid of? ” I asked him, curiously.
hvd.hxdiaw	Ever hear of him? ” I shook my head.
hvd.hxdiaw	Godfrey, THE GLOWED HAND 83 I added, “ does n't the absence of servants seem strange to you? ” “ Very strange.
hvd.hxdiaw	Godfrey? ” “ Whose house we're staying at, ” I explained.
hvd.hxdiaw	Had he been there?
hvd.hxdiaw	Have a cigar? ” “ No, ” I said, sitting down very content with THE GLOVED HAND 13.
hvd.hxdiaw	He found the Way, and he has set her feet upon it. ” “ What way? ” I demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	He had taken a violent dislike to him. ” “ Do you know why? ” “ Yes, ” and she flushed a little, but went on bravely.
hvd.hxdiaw	He says the murder was done either by one of the Hindus or by young Swain. ” “ What do you think? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	He seems a finely- educated man. ” “ Is he a lunatic, too? ” Swain hesitated.
hvd.hxdiaw	He's impressive; he's consistent; I almost believe he's sincere. ” “ Have you considered what that belief im- plies? ” asked Godfrey.
hvd.hxdiaw	He's the fellow who kicked me out. ” “ Does he speak English? ” “ Better than I do.
hvd.hxdiaw	His grandmother's remains? ” he asked, at last.
hvd.hxdiaw	How could Miss Vaughan do it, ill as she was?
hvd.hxdiaw	How did Miss Vaughan's father come to burst in on her and Swain like that?
hvd.hxdiaw	How did he know they were in the arbour?
hvd.hxdiaw	How did it get there, Mr. Lester?
hvd.hxdiaw	How did you happen to dis- cover the crime? ” THE GLOWED HAND 97 The question was asked carelessly, but I could feel the alert mind behind it.
hvd.hxdiaw	How long did he sit there? ” “ I do not know — but it seemed an age to me.
hvd.hxdiaw	How many people are there in the world, Swain? ” “ I ’m sure I do n't know, ” and he stared at me in bewilderment.
hvd.hxdiaw	How was one to reply to such jargon?
hvd.hxdiaw	How were they to get any human interest out of a transcript?
hvd.hxdiaw	I fancy Miss Vaughan will change her mind, now, about be- coming a priestess of Sival"“ But, Godfrey, ” I asked, “ what happened?
hvd.hxdiaw	I gave it to her this afternoon. ” “ What did she say? ” “ She did n't say anything, but I could see the idea did n't impress her.
hvd.hxdiaw	I have a right to know the truth. ” “ What right? ” I queried.
hvd.hxdiaw	I saw Simmonds in town to- night. ” “ Ah, ” I said; “ and what did he tell you? ” “ Nothing I did n't know already.
hvd.hxdiaw	I should like to be your friend also. ” “ And Swain's? ” I queried, a little brutally.
hvd.hxdiaw	I won- der who ordered that done? ” “ Miss Vaughan, no doubt, ” I answered.
hvd.hxdiaw	I wonder what the man with the snake is doing? ” “ Still staring into the crystal, no doubt.
hvd.hxdiaw	If he has n't, we'll have to go and look for him. ” “ What is it you fear, Godfrey? ” I demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	If they did n't hear those screams the other night, do you think they would hear any others?
hvd.hxdiaw	If they do not, they will be returned to you. ” “ And if they do? ” Goldberger laughed.
hvd.hxdiaw	If you persuade her to accompany THE GLOVED HAND 47 you to- night, where would you take her?
hvd.hxdiaw	Is Miss Vaughan in here? ” and when Godfrey nodded, he opened the door and closed it softly behind him.
hvd.hxdiaw	Is she better? ” “ Yes, much better.
hvd.hxdiaw	Is there any reason why she ca n't be taken there to- day? ” The doctor considered for a moment.
hvd.hxdiaw	It seemed to me I heard a step, but when I looked back I saw no one. ” “ Did that fact make you uneasy?"
hvd.hxdiaw	It's lucky it was n't total, or Toto would have got you! ” “ Toto?"
hvd.hxdiaw	Marryat, for instance; who reads Marryat nowadays?
hvd.hxdiaw	Might it not, indeed, be a rehearsal of some sort — private theatricals — make- believe?
hvd.hxdiaw	Mr. Vaughan was his disciple. ” “ Where did the yogi come from? ” Godfrey asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	Now, what's it all about, anyway? ” “ Well, ” I said, “ in the first place, neither God.
hvd.hxdiaw	One nurse, or even two, would n't stop them. ” “ Stop them from what? ” “ I do n't know, ” and he twisted his fingers helplessly.
hvd.hxdiaw	Perhaps Swain was right — perhaps it was Silva who was using every minute to increase his influ- ence; but what could I do?
hvd.hxdiaw	Rather foolish of me, was n't it? ” “ Well, it was mighty fortunate, anyway.
hvd.hxdiaw	THE GLOWED HAND IO5 Yes, I know that at midnight the soul of my pupil passed over. ” “ How did you learn that? ” Goldberger de- manded.
hvd.hxdiaw	That is all? ” Goldberger nodded, and the two strange figures walked slowly away toward the house.
hvd.hxdiaw	That's a good trade, is n't it? ” “ Splendid! ” assented Mr. Royce, warmly.
hvd.hxdiaw	That's reasonable, is n't it? ” “ Yes, ” he agreed, and held out his hand.
hvd.hxdiaw	The handkerchief Miss Vaughan used would prob- ably be in that condition, would it not? ” “ Yes, ” Swain answered, his voice still low.
hvd.hxdiaw	Then Goldberger turned back to me, “ Have you anything further, Mr. Lester? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	There is one nurse on duty all the time, is n't there, doctor? ” “ Yes. ”- “ All right, then; we'll risk one night more.
hvd.hxdiaw	Un- derstand? ” “ Ye — yes, sir, ” faltered the girl.
hvd.hxdiaw	Understand? ” Swain nodded vaguely, and permitted Godfrey to lead him to a chair near the outer door, where he sat down.
hvd.hxdiaw	What connection could that have with the blood- stains on the robe?
hvd.hxdiaw	What did he ex- pect them to do — photograph the transcript?
hvd.hxdiaw	What did they see in the sphere?
hvd.hxdiaw	What do you think of that, Simmonds? ” he added, and pointed to the safe.
hvd.hxdiaw	What do you want? ” “ It's Lester, ” I said, and Godfrey flashed his torch into my face, then back to Swain's.
hvd.hxdiaw	What evidence? ” For answer, Hinman flipped something through the air to him.
hvd.hxdiaw	What if Swain's finger- prints were missing from the book?
hvd.hxdiaw	What is it, Mr. Lester?
hvd.hxdiaw	What is the light, anyway? ” “ That's what I've brought you out here to find out.
hvd.hxdiaw	What motive lay behind?
hvd.hxdiaw	What was happening in that silence?
hvd.hxdiaw	What was it for which he had pled so earnestly?
hvd.hxdiaw	What was it the younger man had urged so pas- sionately upon her, but at which she had rebelled?
hvd.hxdiaw	What was passing in that inscrut- able brain?
hvd.hxdiaw	What was the meaning of Miss Vaughan's emotion?
hvd.hxdiaw	What was the meaning of the scene?
hvd.hxdiaw	Where is everybody? ” The same thought was in my own mind.
hvd.hxdiaw	Who was it she had expected to find listening at the door?
hvd.hxdiaw	Who would arrange for the funeral on the morrow?
hvd.hxdiaw	Who would give orders to clear away this litter?
hvd.hxdiaw	Whose hand was it had thrown that cord about the throat and drawn it tight?
hvd.hxdiaw	Will you come, Mr. Swain? ” “ No, thank you, ” Swain replied.
hvd.hxdiaw	Will you make the trial? ” His eyes were distended with excitement, his lips were trembling with eagerness.
hvd.hxdiaw	Will you stay? ” “ Yes, ” I said, “ of course.
hvd.hxdiaw	Will you wish to accompany it? ” “ No, no! ” she cried, with a gesture of repug- nance.
hvd.hxdiaw	Would God- frey?
hvd.hxdiaw	Would Simmonds be able to divine that motive, to build the case up bit by bit until the murderer was found?
hvd.hxdiaw	You heard Swain remark that Vaughan was a collector of finger- prints? ” 4.
hvd.hxdiaw	You remember that clearly, do n't you? ”- “ Oh, yes, ” said Swain.
hvd.hxdiaw	You've got your whistles?
hvd.hxdiaw	body by violence. ” “ How did you know that? ” broke in Gold- berger.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ A spiritual manifestation? ” I confess I had no answer ready.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Afraid of upsetting her? ” “ I would n't have stopped for that, if her evi- dence would have helped Swain.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ After all, Mr. Lester, ” said Silva, kindly, “ what is this fate that you would prepare for her?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ An adept? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ And how about Miss Vaughan? ” asked the COroner.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ And that has changed recently? ” “ It has changed completely in the last few months.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ And the other photographs? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ And the yogi — is he also a Thug? ” w “ Oh, no; a White Priest of Siva could never be a Thug.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Any clue to the murderer? ” he asked, at last.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Are these the clothes? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ At what time? ” “ You ’d better be there by ten. ” “ Very well; that's all the more reason for get- ting back to my base of supplies.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ But did n't any- body live in this house except that old man and his daughter?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ But what is it you suspect? ” I stammered.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ By myself? ” I echoed, and glanced at the dead man and at the quivering girl.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Ca n't he hear you? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Can you forgive me? ” she demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Can you identify that? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Can you identify this? ” he asked, and handed it to the witness.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Can you identify this? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Can you make anything of it? ” I asked, but he only shook his head.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Can you suggest any other, Miss Vaughan? ”- “ No, ” she said, slowly; “ no, ” and walked once or twice up and down the room.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Did I understand you to say that he went to sleep? ” “ He certainly did.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Did he agree to do so? ” “ He did, ” answered the yogi, still more calmly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Did n't you get that far? ” and Godfrey picked up one of the books and ran rapidly through the pages.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Did she tell you anything? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Did you find the hand- kerchief?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do n’t you think that proves the case? ”- “ Yes, ” I said, thoughtfully.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do what? ” “ Keep so fit. ” “ By getting a good sleep every night.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you be- lieve it? ” she demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you know that Mr. Vaughan is dead? ” The adept made a little deprecating gesture.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you know where he was to meet Miss Vaughan? ” “ At an arbour in one corner of the grounds, ” I answered.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you know who it was? ” she gasped.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you see that big straight limb running out to your right? ” “ Yes, ” I said, for my eyes were growing ac- customed to the darkness.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you think Swain's in danger? ” “ I do n't know what I fear; but there's some- thing wrong over there.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Do you think her life's in danger? ” “ Worse than that! ” said Swain thickly, his face suddenly livid.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Does he live with a Hindu mystic? ” “ Yes, ” said Swain, bitterly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Ever had any training in making money? ” THE GLOVED HAND 29 “ No, only in spending it, ” retorted Freddie, easily.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Fifty thousand? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ For What? ” “ For treating you so badly!
hvd.hxdiaw	“ For what purpose? ” asked the yogi.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Have you any objection to giving me a set of your finger- prints? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Have you examined the body, sir? ” “ Only very casually, ” answered Hinman.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Have you found out who it was? ” “ We suspect who it was, ” answered Goldberger gravely.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Have you nerve enough to stay here half an hour by yourself, Lester? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Have you reached a verdict, gentlemen? ” the coroner asked, after his clerk had polled them.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Have you strength to tell me just what hap- pened, Miss Vaughan? ” I asked gently.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How did Miss Vaughan come to find the body? ” he asked at last, and I told him the story as she had told it to me.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How did you get this, Mr. Lester? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How do you do it, Godfrey? ” I asked, as he sat down.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How does one get out here from New York, Mrs. Hargis? ” I asked, as I sat down.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How have you been getting along? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How is he? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How is she hurt? ” Godfrey persisted, bend- ing closer above the unconscious girl.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How is she, doctor? ” Godfrey asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How is she? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ How long has he been dead? ” Godfrey asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ I can parole him in your custody, I suppose, Mr. Lester? ” the coroner asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ I did n't get a very good look at him. ” “ What was he doing? ” Goldberger demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ I do n't know — but the girl showed a light at her window. ” “ You heard nothing? ” “ Not a sound. ” Simmonds hesitated.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ I had dinner in town and came up afterwards. ” “ What time was that? ” asked Godfrey, quietly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ I suppose there are some other servants some- where about the place? ” asked Goldberger.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ If it is, it's a mighty artistic piece of work. ” “ And if it is n't hocus- pocus, what is it? ” God- frey retorted.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ In Paris. ” “ What was he doing there? ” “ He was practising mysticism.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Information as to the manner of Mr. Vaughan's passing — can you tell us anything of that?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Is Miss Vaughan ill? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Is her father dead? ” “ Yes, ” I said, and he fell to rubbing his head again.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Is it hocus- pocus, Godfrey? ” I asked, at last.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Is she dead? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Is this your verdict, gentlemen? ” he asked quietly; and each juryman replied in the affirma- tive as his name was called.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ It belongs to Worthington Vaughan. ” “ And you know him? ” “ At one time, I knew him quite well, sir, ” and his voice was still lower.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ It is to be to- morrow? ” “ Yes — at eleven o'clock.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ It might have been merely the breeze, might it not? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Look here, Godfrey, ” I said, “ do you realise that what we're about to do is pretty serious?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ May I see you to- morrow? ” “ If you wish. ” “ I shall come some time during the afternoon, ” I said, and took up my hat.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Not bad, is it? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Now, friends, ” he said, “ will you not enter? ” Goldberger led the way into the room and stopped to look about it.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Now, what are the clues to the murderer?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Oh, is it you, Annie? ” she said, and I saw the Irish maid standing just outside.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Oh, what is it?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Rather nerve- racking, was n't it, Lester? ” he remarked, and then his gaze wandered to the couch, and he stepped toward it quickly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Shall I come up?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Shall we read it now? ” “ Yes, I should like to read it, ” she answered quietly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ So you think I am the murderer? ” he asked, quietly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Something terrible to your father? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Something's wrong, and we've got to find out what it is. ” THE GLOWED HAND 28 I “ How will we get down? ” asked Simmonds.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Sylvester's evidence makes it look bad for him. ” “ Will you introduce me to Sylvester?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ That is all for to- day, ” he said; “ unless Mr. Simmonds has some questions? ” and he looked at his companion.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ That is, if one does n't happen to own a motor car? ” “ Why, very easily, sir.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ The Arabian Nights? ” “ No, ” said Godfrey, and in his voice was the ring of triumph.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ The Thug? ” I echoed.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ The adept has a pet cobra. ” “ A snake? ” “ The deadliest snake in the world. ” Goldberger drew back a little, as did all the others.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ The nurses are still here, are they not? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ There are three — they sleep on the floor above. ” “ Are they Hindus, too? ”- “ Oh, no, ” and the adept smiled.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ They are the cook and the gardener. ” “ Do you recognise your father's writing? ” “ Oh, yes; there can be no question as to that."
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Was your father always opposed to your mar- riage? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ We must explain to him how important it-??
hvd.hxdiaw	“ We must explain to him how important it-??
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Well, what are they? ” I began at the beginning and related the day's adventures.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Well, ” I asked, at last, “ what now? ” “ We must see if Swain has returned, ” he an- swered.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Well, ” I said; “ what then? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Well? ” he whispered.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Were the Hindus obtrusive in any way? ” asked the coroner.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What are those things?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What has happened now? ” “ It's Miss Vaughan — she's been half- suffo- cated.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What information, sir? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is it you desire? ” His voice was rich and deep, and he spoke with a peculiar intonation, but without accent.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is it, Swain? ” I cried, and seized him by the arm; but he shook me off roughly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is it? ” Godfrey asked, stepping past me into the room.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is it? ” I asked, and hastened to her.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is it? ” she whispered, her hands against her heart.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is this, anyway? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What is your name? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What kind of a freak dress is this, anyway? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What now? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What was that? ” “ There's an adept in one of the rooms up- stairs. ” Goldberger sat up and stared at him.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What will you do? ” Mr. Royce inquired.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What's that you've got? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What's that? ” “ An expert in mysticism.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What's the matter here? ” he asked, touching it with his finger.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ What's wrong? ” Simmonds asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Where are you going? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Where did that blood come from? ” and he pointed to the dark spots on the collar of the white robe.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Where does it lead? ” “ The Way of life.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Where is that book of finger- prints you spoke about, Lester? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Where's the man I left on guard here? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Who are these witnesses? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Who is it?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Why are you asking me these questions, Mr. Lester? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Why did n't you put her on the stand to- day, Lester? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Why did your father require all this money? ” I asked, but Miss Vaughan shook her head.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Why not go out on the lawn? ” Godfrey sug- gested.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Why should that light descend every midnight?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Will Miss Vaughan be able to testify? ” Gold- berger inquired, just before the doctor stepped down.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Will Mr. Swain please take the stand? ” he said; and Swain took the chair.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Will you hold the shirt up so the jury can see it? ” Swain held the garment up, and everybody's eyes were fixed upon the blood- soaked sleeve.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ With Swain as the murderer? ” “ How did you know? ” she asked, astonished.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ With Swain as the murderer? ” “ How did you know? ” she asked, astonished.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Yes, ” said Swain quietly, “ I ’m feeling all right again. ” “ How is Miss Vaughan, doctor? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Yes; but did you look at him, Lester?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Yes; he's been there three- quarters of an hour. ” “ Why do you suppose Miss Vaughan named so late an hour? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You are sure of that? ” asked Godfrey ear- nestly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You are what is called an adept? ” he asked, at last.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You heard? ” I asked.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You know Mr. Swain cut his wrist as he came over the wall that night? ” “ Yes, he told me.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You mean there's no one here?
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You realise, Mr. Lester, ” he said, more seri- ously, “ that it is plainly my duty to cause Swain's arrest? ” “ Yes, ” I assented.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You think that's the reason of her be- haviour? ” I asked, quickly.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You understand what you're to do? ” he asked the maid, and she nodded mutely.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You ’ll come, then? ” said Godfrey, who had been following my thoughts.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ You'll come back with me, wo n't you? ” “ Yes; I may be useful, ” and he turned the car back the way we had come.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ Your lunch is ready. ” “ I suppose there's a telephone somewhere about? ” I asked, as I followed her through the hall.
hvd.hxdiaw	“ ‘ Did the time really seem so long?'
mdp.39015002753286	'Why not?' mdp.39015002753286 Admitted,"said Sir Terence"And it is therefore possible that he might have come upon the body of the deceased just as Mullins came upon it?"
mdp.39015002753286	After the state- ment he has just made?
mdp.39015002753286	All of them?
mdp.39015002753286	Am I not interested? mdp.39015002753286 And Samoval knew this?"
mdp.39015002753286	And have n't I been thankful to sleep in a ditch? mdp.39015002753286 And how did this happen?"
mdp.39015002753286	And is Sylvia the temptation, Ned?
mdp.39015002753286	And is that all? mdp.39015002753286 And is that all?"
mdp.39015002753286	And is that so? mdp.39015002753286 And nothing else?"
mdp.39015002753286	And that?
mdp.39015002753286	And the monks drink this nectar?
mdp.39015002753286	And this unsympathetic Sir Terence did not explain them to you?
mdp.39015002753286	And what of Una?
mdp.39015002753286	And what the devil can I do?
mdp.39015002753286	And whatever did you tell him?
mdp.39015002753286	And when he is taken,she asked,"what — what will I happen to him?"
mdp.39015002753286	And who shall blame Lady O'Moy?
mdp.39015002753286	And who the devil asks for your assurances? mdp.39015002753286 And who the devil asks you to contemplate it?"
mdp.39015002753286	And you allowed it?
mdp.39015002753286	And you did n't arrest them?
mdp.39015002753286	And you do n't intend to, I suppose?
mdp.39015002753286	And you say that Samoval was aware of the man's real identity?
mdp.39015002753286	And you say the sergeant has reason to believe that Mr. Butler did not survive his folly?
mdp.39015002753286	And you see that you were wrong in judging Terence as you did?
mdp.39015002753286	Are the odds of numbers so heavy?
mdp.39015002753286	Are there no letters for me?
mdp.39015002753286	Are things going well?
mdp.39015002753286	Are you guilty of these charges or not guilty?
mdp.39015002753286	Are you ill, Una?
mdp.39015002753286	Are you looking for O'Moy? mdp.39015002753286 Are you seeking information, sir, or are you bestowing it?"
mdp.39015002753286	Are you there? mdp.39015002753286 Aware of it?"
mdp.39015002753286	But how are we to get him out of the country?
mdp.39015002753286	But if he is — if he is?
mdp.39015002753286	But if there were not that pleasure?
mdp.39015002753286	But in your own interests, my dear General, I trust there will be no weakening when this Lieutenant Butler is caught, and"Vho?
mdp.39015002753286	But it would hardly be natural that he should linger by the body of a man he had himself slain, thereby incurring the risk of being discovered?
mdp.39015002753286	But must I go home?
mdp.39015002753286	But no doubt you will desire the presence of the Commissary- General?
mdp.39015002753286	But not asleep — or were you asleep?
mdp.39015002753286	But suppose anything were to happen to you? mdp.39015002753286 But then,"she cried, a new horror breaking on her mind —"if this is discovered — Terence, what will become of you?"
mdp.39015002753286	But what am I to do with you now?
mdp.39015002753286	But what can he have been doing here?
mdp.39015002753286	But what did you see from the balcony?
mdp.39015002753286	But what has Captain Tremayne to do with Dick?
mdp.39015002753286	But what of Dick?
mdp.39015002753286	But which you expect me to offend?
mdp.39015002753286	But who would have tampered with them?
mdp.39015002753286	But you did eventually?
mdp.39015002753286	But you spoke of poverty?
mdp.39015002753286	But your Excellency understands the terms — the only terms upon which his lordship will so continue?
mdp.39015002753286	But, Dick, what is to become of Ned?
mdp.39015002753286	Can your Excellency tell me what was this officer's business at the monastery of the Dominican fathers?
mdp.39015002753286	Come?
mdp.39015002753286	Could you suppose that I should wish to purchase my life at such a price? mdp.39015002753286 Count Samoval'said Tretnayne shortly Grant's tace remained inscrutable"Really I"he said sottly"So that is Jeronymo de Samoval eh?
mdp.39015002753286	Covento Dominicano?
mdp.39015002753286	D'ye wonder?
mdp.39015002753286	Degrading?
mdp.39015002753286	Deplorable to whom?
mdp.39015002753286	Dick?
mdp.39015002753286	Did Captain Tremayne submit at once?
mdp.39015002753286	Did he make any statement beyond that when he delivered that letter?
mdp.39015002753286	Did n't you see? mdp.39015002753286 Did you notice the windows of the building at all during that time?"
mdp.39015002753286	Did you see anything, my dear?
mdp.39015002753286	Do you forget that he is depending entirely upon you — that if you should fail him he will be lost?
mdp.39015002753286	Do you tell me that you have never so much as seen the plans of these fortifications?
mdp.39015002753286	Do you think he will consent?
mdp.39015002753286	Do you, Messieurs, detect a flaw in these arguments?
mdp.39015002753286	Do?
mdp.39015002753286	Does Captain Tremayne say that?
mdp.39015002753286	Does Una know? mdp.39015002753286 Does it contribute any fresh fact regarding the discovery of the body?"
mdp.39015002753286	Does it? mdp.39015002753286 Does she?"
mdp.39015002753286	Eventually, then, what was it that you saw?
mdp.39015002753286	Falsehood, sir?
mdp.39015002753286	For whom is your concern? mdp.39015002753286 Happen?"
mdp.39015002753286	Has no suspicion crossed your mind that I may know the whole truth? mdp.39015002753286 Have n't I?"
mdp.39015002753286	Have you a copy of the note, sir?
mdp.39015002753286	Have you any questions for the witness, Captain Tremayne?
mdp.39015002753286	Have you any questions for the witness?
mdp.39015002753286	Have you any questions to ask the witness, Captain Tremayne?
mdp.39015002753286	Have you been informed of the details? mdp.39015002753286 Have you ever heard,"quoth a heavy dragoon, who was also a heavy jester,"that in heaven the last shall be first?
mdp.39015002753286	Have you not heard?
mdp.39015002753286	Have you not received news of what has happened at Tavora? mdp.39015002753286 Having found Castalia here,"said the Count,"shall I not drink its limpid waters?"
mdp.39015002753286	He was quite calm, not at all perturbed?
mdp.39015002753286	Here? mdp.39015002753286 Honour?"
mdp.39015002753286	How could I?
mdp.39015002753286	How do you suppose I could?
mdp.39015002753286	How long had he been here?
mdp.39015002753286	How long have you been there?
mdp.39015002753286	How much did you overhear?
mdp.39015002753286	How say you, then, Captain Tremayne?
mdp.39015002753286	How should I know that?
mdp.39015002753286	How so?
mdp.39015002753286	How thoughtless of you, Ned, to provoke Count Samoval at such a time as this I"Did I provoke him? mdp.39015002753286 I wonder to whom she would have gone on her own impulse?"
mdp.39015002753286	I wonder? mdp.39015002753286 If I might take you literally now""Should I have suffered you to bring me here if I did not?"
mdp.39015002753286	Indeed?
mdp.39015002753286	Infamous of whom?
mdp.39015002753286	Is it decided yet?
mdp.39015002753286	Is it no reason why you should do what you can to save him?
mdp.39015002753286	Is it not plain? mdp.39015002753286 Is n't it obvious to any- one?"
mdp.39015002753286	Is there anything on your mind?
mdp.39015002753286	It may be desperate, but Can you trust her?
mdp.39015002753286	It'll not have occurred to you that the lady may have feelings which having aroused you ought to be consider- ing?
mdp.39015002753286	Just what you're meaning? mdp.39015002753286 Just what?"
mdp.39015002753286	Laugh, is it?
mdp.39015002753286	Made what plain?
mdp.39015002753286	May I come in?
mdp.39015002753286	Me?
mdp.39015002753286	My God, CarruthersI What must he think of me?
mdp.39015002753286	Nothing?
mdp.39015002753286	Now wharra devil may this mean?
mdp.39015002753286	Of what you hoped?
mdp.39015002753286	Oh Isaid O'Moy,"that was it?"
mdp.39015002753286	Oh, and is that all?
mdp.39015002753286	Oh, but how could they? mdp.39015002753286 Plenty of foxes; a rough country, though; but what's that to an Irish- woman?"
mdp.39015002753286	Report myself under arrest?
mdp.39015002753286	Samoval, eh? mdp.39015002753286 Samoval, is it?"
mdp.39015002753286	Shall I leave you?
mdp.39015002753286	Shall we get to work, then?
mdp.39015002753286	Suppose you had been seen by any of the scandal- mongering old wives of the garrison? mdp.39015002753286 Sure, sir, you'll not be after""Will you answer my question, man?"

mdp.39015002753286	Then why did you not remain to hear?
mdp.39015002753286	Then why unnecessarily distress this lady?
mdp.39015002753286	Then you stood listening?
mdp.39015002753286	They ca n't do anything to Ned until they find him guilty; and how are they going to find him guilty when he's innocent?
mdp.39015002753286	This?
mdp.39015002753286	To what affair will your Excellency be alluding?

mdp.39015002753286	What did you say?
mdp.39015002753286	What do you mean?
mdp.39015002753286	What does he mean? mdp.39015002753286 What does your Excellency suggest was this mistake?"
mdp.39015002753286	What else? mdp.39015002753286 What grounds had you, Colonel Grant, for assuming that Count Samoval was going to Monsanto?"
mdp.39015002753286	What happened next?
mdp.39015002753286	What has Dick Butler been doing?
mdp.39015002753286	What has he done? mdp.39015002753286 What have I destroyed?"

mdp.39015002753286	What is your feeling in this matter, O'Moy?
mdp.39015002753286	What knowledge should I possess?

mdp.39015002753286	What was that?
mdp.39015002753286	What was the nature of it?
mdp.39015002753286	What were you doing here?
mdp.39015002753286	What's on your mind, Ned?
mdp.39015002753286	What's that?

mdp.39015002753286	Whatever is the matter, sir?
mdp.39015002753286	Which way did Colonel Grant come?

mdp.39015002753286	Who is he?
mdp.39015002753286	Why did you let them take him?
mdp.39015002753286	Why do n't you answer her?
mdp.39015002753286	Why do you apply these words to Captain Tremayne?
mdp.39015002753286	Why do you talk of being shot? mdp.39015002753286 Why do you utter these set speeches to me?"
mdp.39015002753286	Why not?
mdp.39015002753286	Why this?
mdp.39015002753286	Why will you for ever be misunderstanding me?
mdp.39015002753286	Why, how would you know them if you saw them?
mdp.39015002753286	Why,he burst out suddenly,"why did you do it?
mdp.39015002753286	Why?
mdp.39015002753286	Why?

mdp.39015002753286	Yes — why not? mdp.39015002753286 Yes?"
mdp.39015002753286	Yet if I retain your own?
mdp.39015002753286	You are offering me a challenge, then?
mdp.39015002753286	You are quite certain of that?
mdp.39015002753286	You bade her come to me?
mdp.39015002753286	You can forgive me, Ned?
mdp.39015002753286	You dare to take that tone?
mdp.39015002753286	You do not then intend to ask me to marry you?
mdp.39015002753286	You found him here? mdp.39015002753286 You have left him there?"
mdp.39015002753286	You have spoken to Lord Wellington?
mdp.39015002753286	You ordered him? mdp.39015002753286 You published my order against duelling, did you not?"
mdp.39015002753286	You said in your evidence that Captain Tremayne arrived at Monsanto between half- past eleven and twenty minutes to twelve?
mdp.39015002753286	You said your name is Armytage, I think?
mdp.39015002753286	You think it something to laugh at?
mdp.39015002753286	You'll stay to luncheon?

mdp.39015002753286	'I was coming to see you,'says the captain'What about?'
mdp.39015002753286	'What the devil's this now?"
mdp.39015002753286	'What were ye doing here, then?'

mdp.39015002753286	A moment he stood there, then came forward The Duel"You called, Sir Terence?"
mdp.39015002753286	A morning whet, Samoval?"
mdp.39015002753286	Abruptly he asked:"Where's Tavora?"
mdp.39015002753286	After the body ot Count SamovaJ had been removed irom the courtyard, did Mullins, my butler, come to you?"
mdp.39015002753286	Ah, but why should we despond on that account?"
mdp.39015002753286	And as I've a mind to shoot you dead'"Shoot, did you say?"
mdp.39015002753286	And he asked point- blank:"What's tempting you?"
mdp.39015002753286	And then asked:"How long do you think that you could keep him hidden?"
mdp.39015002753286	And then from above, ringing upon the deathly stillness, he caught a sibilant whisper:"What was that?
mdp.39015002753286	And was Captain Tremayne liere when you came out?!
mdp.39015002753286	And was n't I campaigning before that?
mdp.39015002753286	Are you not ready to bear witness as to his character?
mdp.39015002753286	At inidnight?"
mdp.39015002753286	At the mean wine- shop of that hamlet Mr. Butler in- quired his way by the simple expedient of shouting"Tavora?"
mdp.39015002753286	Besides, what is there I can do? ” he asked again, and ended testily: “ Faith, man, I do n't know what you're thinking of."
mdp.39015002753286	But Sylvia""Have you spoken to her?"
mdp.39015002753286	But shield him from what?"
mdp.39015002753286	But what makes you so sure?
mdp.39015002753286	But whatever he was doing, can your lordship, believe that he would have come here to fight a secret duel?"
mdp.39015002753286	By my soul, if Sylvia tempts you, man, why the devil do n't ye just succumb and have done with it?
mdp.39015002753286	Can you hide me, do you think, for a day or two?
mdp.39015002753286	Can you not deal with them?"
mdp.39015002753286	Could it be expected of the dragoons that they should tamely suffer themselves to be massacred?
mdp.39015002753286	Could you suppose that your honour Q 242 The Snare 9 was not more precious to me than"my life?

mdp.39015002753286	Dick is in trouble?"
mdp.39015002753286	Did ye remark the way she melted to him — beauty swooning at the sight of temptation I Bad luck to him I Who is he at all?"
mdp.39015002753286	Do you believe in premoni- tions, Sylvia?"
mdp.39015002753286	Do you mean that I shall have to give evidence?"
mdp.39015002753286	Do you possess some knowledge that you have not revealed?"
mdp.39015002753286	Do you remember it?"
mdp.39015002753286	Finally:"Is this really Lord Wellington's last word?"
mdp.39015002753286	For Count Samoval or Ned?"

mdp.39015002753286	How can you?
mdp.39015002753286	How could I be grateful?
mdp.39015002753286	How did it happen that you did n't notice the windows?"
mdp.39015002753286	How do you know?
mdp.39015002753286	How has it happened?"

mdp.39015002753286	I"You mean that he will be shot?"
mdp.39015002753286	If so, what must be the attitude of the others?
mdp.39015002753286	Indeed, what question could he have asked?
mdp.39015002753286	Is it true?
mdp.39015002753286	Is it true?"
mdp.39015002753286	Is n't that the phrase?"
mdp.39015002753286	Is not some of my property in question?"
mdp.39015002753286	It promptly sent her off at a tangent:"You like Ned, do n't you, dear?"
mdp.39015002753286	It would be natural that he should investigate the identity and hurt of the man he found there?"

mdp.39015002753286	Mr. Butler addressed them in the best French he could command:"What do you fear?
mdp.39015002753286	Mr. Butler, never dreaming — as indeed how could he? — that Fate was taking a hand in this business, gave way, and they sat down to dinner.

mdp.39015002753286	No word from'Dick?"
mdp.39015002753286	No?

mdp.39015002753286	Of the violation of a convent by a party of British soldiers?

mdp.39015002753286	Should 1 have acted thus if I had been upon such an errand as alleged?
mdp.39015002753286	Sir Terence turned to the sergeant of the guard,"How long is it since Captain Treinayne arrived?"
mdp.39015002753286	Sir Terence?"
mdp.39015002753286	Strange that O'Moy should never have mentioned that,"he muttered, and then inquired suddenly:"Where was Tremayne arrested?"
mdp.39015002753286	Tell me, one of you, of your charity, what is there left for me to do?"
mdp.39015002753286	That he is the very soul of honour, a man incapable of anything base or treacher* ous or sly?"
mdp.39015002753286	That is your Excellency's proposal, is it not?"
mdp.39015002753286	The Affair at Tavora 33"How came such a mistake to be made?"
mdp.39015002753286	The Challenge 145"For nothing?"
mdp.39015002753286	The Champion 177"Why did you not say so before?
mdp.39015002753286	The Intelligence Officer 113"And that?"
mdp.39015002753286	Then he dismissed the matter with a shrug and a smile"Well, and what of it?"
mdp.39015002753286	Then"When does Cap- tain Glennie sail?"
mdp.39015002753286	Then, turning to O'Moy again:"Well,"he demanded, his voice hard,"have you nothing to add?"
mdp.39015002753286	There was a moon, I think — a full moon?"
mdp.39015002753286	They had deemed him an old fool I What was the expression that Samoval had used — Pantaloon in the comedy?
mdp.39015002753286	Three of his troopers were down by now, and hi?
mdp.39015002753286	To be compelled with their own hands to destroy their homes and lay waste the lands upon which they have laboured — what could be more cruel?"
mdp.39015002753286	Was he prejudged already, and by his best friend?
mdp.39015002753286	Well?"
mdp.39015002753286	What can I do?"
mdp.39015002753286	What conclusions have you reached?
mdp.39015002753286	What do you know?"
mdp.39015002753286	What do you suggest that I implied or seemed to imply?"
mdp.39015002753286	What happened when you returned?"
mdp.39015002753286	What has he done?"

hvd.hwpa9c	Do you really believe that?
hvd.hwpa9c	First of all, who do you think killed Samuel Appleby? ” A This question was shot at him by Burdon, and all waited in silence for the answer. hvd.hwpa9c From my father's desk drawer, where he always keeps it. ” “ You are familiar with firearms?"

hvd.hwpa9c	It may be,agreed Stone. “ Doubtless we can find out “ How?"

hvd.hwpa9c	A FINAL CONFESSION 325 “ He confessed?"
hvd.hwpa9c	A tap at the door of Stone's sitting- room was followed by a “ May I come in?"
hvd.hwpa9c	After this awful business is all over, may n't I come back with a hope that you'll smile on me? ” “ Do n't talk that way, Sam.
hvd.hwpa9c	Agree?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Ai n't you? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Allen?"
hvd.hwpa9c	And Dan feels the same way about it. ” “ But do n't you consider your daughter?
hvd.hwpa9c	And he's my devoted slave. ” “ As who is n't? ” exclaimed Appleby.
hvd.hwpa9c	And if you lived elsewhere, what then?"
hvd.hwpa9c	And oh, please, Mr. Appleby, wo n't you give up the question?
hvd.hwpa9c	And then- what happened next? ” “ Why nothing.
hvd.hwpa9c	And what did you do with the weapon you used? ” “ I threw it out of the window.".
hvd.hwpa9c	And what is the best way for me to go about remedying the situation?
hvd.hwpa9c	And when? ” Appleby flashed a quick glance at Maida, which she rightly interpreted to mean to let Keefe rest unenlightened as to his error.
hvd.hwpa9c	And where to?
hvd.hwpa9c	And who could say what words had passed be- el THE GARAGE FIRE tween them at that final interview?
hvd.hwpa9c	And why, oh, why does the valuable Rachel choose this time to vanish?
hvd.hwpa9c	And worse, upon the ladies- angels, both of them! ” “ You are fond of the family, then? ” “ I am that!
hvd.hwpa9c	And you replied?

hvd.hwpa9c	Appleby?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Are you and Keefe special friends? ” Genevieve looked at him a moment, and then said, very frankly: “ If we're not, it is n't my fault.
hvd.hwpa9c	Are you going to confess also? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Are you not springing that theory in a further attempt to direct suspicion away from Mr. Wheeler?"
hvd.hwpa9c	As to right and justice you've confessed the crime, have n't you? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you confess it to me, now?
hvd.hwpa9c	As to right and justice you've confessed the crime, have n't you? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you confess it to me, now?
hvd.hwpa9c	Because dad did all he could to keep Mr. Appleby from being governor. ” “ But did n't succeed?"
hvd.hwpa9c	But I doubt Appleby's being unable to see through your trick, and then — where are you? ” “ That would n't matter.
hvd.hwpa9c	But I know he never will grant it, so you may as well give up hope. ” • “ You know that, do you, Maida? ” Appleby's voice was almost wistful.
hvd.hwpa9c	But could she do it?
hvd.hwpa9c	But could she, even if willing to sacrifice herself, could she ask Sam Appleby to take her?
hvd.hwpa9c	But could you not be persuaded? ” “ By what means?"
hvd.hwpa9c	But could you not be persuaded? ” “ By what means?"
hvd.hwpa9c	But it ai n't likely, is it now, that a rank outsider would come right up to the window and fire through it, and not be seen by anybody? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	But it is possible, and, in my opinion, that is the only direction to look. ” “ But what direction?
hvd.hwpa9c	But my father commit a crime?
hvd.hwpa9c	But the pardon was on condition- oh, I say – hasn't dad ever told you, Keefe? ” “ Never."
hvd.hwpa9c	But why did she go? ” “ I ask you why."
hvd.hwpa9c	But — what next? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	But, first of all, will you tell me who you think killed Appleby? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	By that time you and I will be- where will we be, Maida? ” “ I do n't know, Jeff"“ Well, we'll be together, anyway.
hvd.hwpa9c	By the way, I suppose that it was Mills, then, who started the fire in the garage?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Ca n't you go on, Miss Wheeler? ” “ There's little to tell.
hvd.hwpa9c	Ca n't you see that my father and mother are both trying to shield me?
hvd.hwpa9c	Can I do more? ” “ Yes; if you are telling the truth, go on, and relate details.
hvd.hwpa9c	Can I help you? ” “ Do you mean that? ” “ Why, yes, if I can do anything practical. ” “ Oh, you can!
hvd.hwpa9c	Can I help you? ” “ Do you mean that? ” “ Why, yes, if I can do anything practical. ” “ Oh, you can!
hvd.hwpa9c	Can you do that? ” “ No,"Maida said, after an interval of silence.
hvd.hwpa9c	Can you hesitate?
hvd.hwpa9c	Can you not bring matters to a crisis?
hvd.hwpa9c	Cheer her up all you can. ” “ What's the trouble?
hvd.hwpa9c	Cook was scream- ing, but nobody paid any attention to her. ” “ The fire was soon over? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Did I do right? ” 168 THE MYSTERY OF THE SYCAMORE “ In lying to save some one you love?
hvd.hwpa9c	Did I do right? ” 168 THE MYSTERY OF THE SYCAMORE “ In lying to save some one you love?

hvd.hwpa9c	Did you see the place much as he has described it?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Do I, Jeffrey?
hvd.hwpa9c	Do I, Mr. Keefe? ” She looked at these two for help.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do n't you love the old tree, dad? ” “ Of course, as I love every stick and stone about the place.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do n't you suppose I've 96 THE MYSTERY OF THE SYCAMORE tried every argument I know of, with that old dun- derhead?

hvd.hwpa9c	Do you make anything out of that? ” “ Ca n't see anything in it.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you mean in regard to Mr. Appleby? ”"Of course I mean in regard to Mr. Appleby.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you need to keep Mr. Keefe and Miss Eane for any reason? ” “ Why, I do n't think so,"the detective said.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you promise me this?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you remember that your mother has no funds outside the estate she inherited?
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you say to me that you killed Samuel Appleby? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you suppose I'd come here and urge it- beg for it- if I did n't think it abso- lutely necessary? ” “ No; I suppose not.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you think we can enter a plea of insanity? ” Keefe looked at her, a new thought dawning in his mind.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you understand? ” His keen gaze at her made her understand.
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you want to plunge them into penury, into pauperism, in their declining years?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Do you?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Downstairs she found only Jeffrey in the din- ing- room “ Hear anything funny in the night, Maida? ” he asked her.
hvd.hwpa9c	Either he did or did n't kill Mr. Appleby, but in either case, he's in bad. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Allen.
hvd.hwpa9c	Faded?
hvd.hwpa9c	First, why did you kill him?"
hvd.hwpa9c	For, what became of him?
hvd.hwpa9c	Forgive me, if I ask you to leave me-- will you? ” “ Of course, you poor child!
hvd.hwpa9c	Have I your per- mission to talk to Maida, alone? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hwpa9c	Have you asked them? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Have you quizzed all the servants?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Have you realized that your father has no business interests nor can he find any at his age?
hvd.hwpa9c	Have you seen any of the servants? ” “ Some.
hvd.hwpa9c	He only said, that when the big sycamore tree went into Massachusetts I could go. ” “ What a crazy thing to say, was n't it?"
hvd.hwpa9c	He went straight to the two who were sitting under the big tree, and spoke directly: “ What does this mean, Maida?
hvd.hwpa9c	Heaven help me how can I. know?
hvd.hwpa9c	Help me to tell Jeffrey- you tell him, ca n't you, mother?
hvd.hwpa9c	How are you?
hvd.hwpa9c	How can I be troubled when you're here? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	How can I best do that? ” But Maida could not tell him.
hvd.hwpa9c	How can I convince you? ” “ Only by circumstantial evidence.
hvd.hwpa9c	How can I help you, dear, unless I know what you're doing — or trying to do?
hvd.hwpa9c	How can you find out who blew that bugle? ” “ I do n't know yet, but I shall try to find out.
hvd.hwpa9c	How did it happen?"
hvd.hwpa9c	How do you do?
hvd.hwpa9c	How far did you say the shooter person stood from his victim?"
hvd.hwpa9c	How'd you guess it?"
hvd.hwpa9c	How's that? ” “ I do n't see any sense in it at all."
hvd.hwpa9c	However, use your head, and do all you can with it. ” “ And where do I come in? ” asked Genevieve, who had been an interested listener.
hvd.hwpa9c	I did n't see who did it. ” “ Are you sure, Miss?
hvd.hwpa9c	I do n't mean I'm specially fond of Genevieve, but she was kind to me, and now I do seem so alone. ” “ Alone, Maida?
hvd.hwpa9c	I had to get an- other in place of it. ” “ And you think the fire was the result of a dropped cigarette or match by Mr. Appleby's chauffeur?"
hvd.hwpa9c	I have such a profound respect for the truth that I never use it except on very special occasions. ” “ Is this one? ” “ It is not!
hvd.hwpa9c	I know Wheeler — if he turns stubborn- well, Balaam's his- toric quadruped had nothing on him! ” “ Does Mr. Wheeler know Sam?
hvd.hwpa9c	I mean, did I do right to confess my crime at once?
hvd.hwpa9c	I s'pose you've looked there for it? ” “ Yes, raked the place thoroughly. ” 208 THE MYSTERY OF THE SYCAMORE “ All right.
hvd.hwpa9c	I saw Mr, Appleby fall over sideways"“ Did n't you hear the shot?"
hvd.hwpa9c	I say, Maid, young Sam is n't coming down here, is he?"
hvd.hwpa9c	I tell you I know it to be Mills ”. ” “ Will you send for the cook, please?".
hvd.hwpa9c	I'm not asking anything wrong, am I?
hvd.hwpa9c	I'm taking it for granted you want the criminal found? ” “ Oh, I say, Mr.-er- Burdon, have a little com- mon decency!
hvd.hwpa9c	I'm thinkin'it was, but yet, I could n't speak it for sure. ” “ Then you went on to the fire? ” “ Yes, sor."
hvd.hwpa9c	I've confessed my crime; now they have to try me do n't they?"
hvd.hwpa9c	I've got three whole days — how's that? ” “ Splendid!
hvd.hwpa9c	I've heard that he was entirely innocent of the forgery! ” “ Have you, indeed? ” Appleby's tone was un- pleasantly sarcastic.
hvd.hwpa9c	If he had any such fear, he kept it to himself. ” FLEMING STONE 195 “ He knew of your enmity toward him? ” “ Of course.
hvd.hwpa9c	If they chanced to fling said revolver far to the left, where would it land?
hvd.hwpa9c	In that moment, Mr. Wheeler, that psychological mo- ment, Curtis Keefe shot and killed Samuel Appleby. ” “ And Mills?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Intuition told her it was better not to resent his speech or meaning, so she only said, quietly: “ Look out for me — how?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Is it a secret? ” “ It is.
hvd.hwpa9c	Is it any wonder that we should honestly wish he were dead?
hvd.hwpa9c	Is it possible that for fifteen years Mr. Wheeler has never stepped over to the forbidden side of his own house? ” “ Perfectly true.
hvd.hwpa9c	Is it possible?
hvd.hwpa9c	Is it yes, my darling? ” The girl stared at him, her big brown eyes full of agony.
hvd.hwpa9c	Is n't it logical? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Is there a camp near by? ” “ No; nothing of the sort.
hvd.hwpa9c	Is there really a bugler tradition? ” “ Not over here.
hvd.hwpa9c	It has been a real haven to me in my perturbed life. ” “ Suppose you had to leave it, daddy? ” “ I think I'd die, dear.
hvd.hwpa9c	It is the front door, is n't it?
hvd.hwpa9c	It looks as if it would stand there forever! ” “ Do you think so?
hvd.hwpa9c	It occurred at the time of the shooting, you say?
hvd.hwpa9c	It was proved on him — or the jury thought it was — and he was convicted-"And sentenced? ” “ Yes; to a long prison term.
hvd.hwpa9c	It's a pretty place, you say? ” “ Wonderful.
hvd.hwpa9c	It's far more likely he'd kill me! ” “ Why? ” exclaimed Keefe.
hvd.hwpa9c	It's only to keep off the grass, regarding young Sam. ” “ You mean not to try to charm him myself?
hvd.hwpa9c	Just as one would expect them to look on the occasion of witnessing a horrible tragedy. ”"Whether they were responsible for it or not? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwpa9c	Just let him show his rubicund countenance in these parts- if he wants trouble! ” “ Does anybody ever want trouble?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Keefe?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Keefe?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Keefe?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Keefe?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Looky here, youngster, ca n't you go up and coax Mr. Stone to see me just a few minutes?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Maida, my little girl, what is this thing that has warped your sense of right and wrong?
hvd.hwpa9c	May I say that I'm very 116 THE MYSTERY OF THE SYCAMORE sorry for you, and may I offer my help, if you can use me in any way?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Maybe he's begun his fasting and prayer over this phenomenal case. ” “ Does he do that?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Mother, what did that old will say?
hvd.hwpa9c	NORTH DOOR AND SOUTH DOOR 45 “ You, doubtless, said the same to him, sir? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	No babbling-- you understand? ” “ Yes, sir, ” and the maid went away, her attitude still one of importance, and her face wearing a vague smile.
hvd.hwpa9c	None of us would want him to do that, Maida! ” “ Does n't necessity ever justify a fraud, Jeff? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Nothing would induce me to break that vow! ” “ Not even your lover?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Now if they slung the thing over toward the right, where would it land? ” “ On the smooth lawn. ” “ And you did n't find it there! ” “ No.
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, Maida, girl, even if you do n't love me very much yet, ca n't you say yes, in view of what I offer you? ” “ How can you torture me so?
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, Maida, girl, even if you do n't love me very much yet, ca n't you say yes, in view of what I offer you? ” “ How can you torture me so?
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, Miss Lane, where were you? ” “ I was at the fire.
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, Mr. Keefe, did he tell you how he set that fire? ” “ No, he did not, ” was the short reply.
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, do you understand why I killed him?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, drop that foolishness. ” “ Jeffrey, ” and Maida spoke very solemnly, “ do n't you believe that I could kill a man?
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, have you any idea why Maida has ” “ Has picked him up with the tongs?
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, how do sweet- hearts get word to each other?
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, if I were to marry and leave him — why, I simply could n't do it! ” “ Ca n't Mr. Allen live in Connecticut?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, what have you to say?
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, where do we go from here? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, will you say yes? ” “ You ca n't do all that, ” she said, speaking in an awestruck whisper, as if he had proposed to perform a miracle.
hvd.hwpa9c	Now, you use that influence for me and I'll do something for you. ” “ What'll you do? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Of course, as you say, in such MAIDA'S DECISION 287 intimacy as we three are, it would be impossible for me not to know. ” “ And- it was Maida?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Oh, I know you did n't kill him"“ But I did! ” “ If you did, you could n't take it so calmly"“ How dare you say I take it calmly?
hvd.hwpa9c	Oh, can you save her?
hvd.hwpa9c	Oozed out?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Or to put it bluntly, I want to acquit all three of them — even if-"“ Even if one of them is guilty?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Queer, though, was n't it? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Rachel- is that her name? ” “ That's a pretty thing, too! ” Fibsy spoke up.
hvd.hwpa9c	See? ” “ Not yet, but go ahead. ” “ Well, it's this way.
hvd.hwpa9c	She did n't take any lug- gagen"“ How did she go? ” “ Nobody knows.
hvd.hwpa9c	Sit here, beneath the old sycamore- you know about the tree?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Skipped?
hvd.hwpa9c	Slid?
hvd.hwpa9c	So, I ask you what you learned just now from Miss Wheeler, and why did she run to the house, weeping like a willow tree?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Soon it will be too cool for that. ” “ Which veranda?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Stringing me?"
hvd.hwpa9c	THE MYSTERY OF THE SYCAMORE “ Pretend?
hvd.hwpa9c	Tell me this: how far from the victim did the shooter stand?
hvd.hwpa9c	Tell me this: where did you get a pistol? ” “ I used Mr. Wheeler's revolver."
hvd.hwpa9c	Tell me! ” “ And have you thought what it will mean to them to leave this place?
hvd.hwpa9c	Tell me, darling, wo n't you? ” “ I ca n't, Jeff.
hvd.hwpa9c	That worthy ex- governor, while in the act of engaging Keefe to be his confiden- tial secretary, observed: “ They call you Curt, do they?
hvd.hwpa9c	That you must live in Massachusetts?"
hvd.hwpa9c	That's what it amounts to! ” “ Wiped out- how? ” “ Figuratively and literally!
hvd.hwpa9c	The odds in favor of Mr. Wheeler indicating his guilt or innocence?"
hvd.hwpa9c	The piper who piped some nights previous had noth- ing to do with the case! ” “ Sure, Terence?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Then I felt for his heart and found it was still. ” “ You a doctor?
hvd.hwpa9c	Then when Mrs. Wheeler wanted her she was n't to be found. ” “ And has n't sence ben sane?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Then — what about self- defence?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Then, the next point was, would Mr. Appleby tell?
hvd.hwpa9c	There can be no breach of confidence in that. ” “ Why do you want to know?"
hvd.hwpa9c	There was n't any man on the south veranda. ” “ Sure, Terence? ” “ Yessir, I'm pretty sure.
hvd.hwpa9c	They ca n't both be guilty. ” “ And you do n't know which one is? ” “ N — no,"came the faltering reply.
hvd.hwpa9c	They never convict a woman, do they, Mr. Keefe? ” “ So that's what you're banking on!
hvd.hwpa9c	Wait, has she a lover? ” “ Well, they do say Fulton, the chauffeur, is sweet on her, but I never noticed it much."
hvd.hwpa9c	Want to see an example? ” “ Yes, I do."
hvd.hwpa9c	Was n't it rather strange? ” “ Rath- er!
hvd.hwpa9c	Was that naughty of me?"
hvd.hwpa9c	We are in Connecticut, are n't we?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Well, I somehow felt that it was Mills — and so I went to see him. ”"At the hospital?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Well, Terence, what luck?".
hvd.hwpa9c	Well, belike, he was the murderer and that sets my people free. ” “ Important if true, but are you both sure?
hvd.hwpa9c	Well, then- he was killed to prevent the information going any farther. ” “ Killed by whom? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Were you there with her? ” “ Yes; we had been there half an hour or so.
hvd.hwpa9c	What a queer little chap that boy of Stone's is! ” “ Fibsy?"
hvd.hwpa9c	What about this criminal case of ours?
hvd.hwpa9c	What are you doing?
hvd.hwpa9c	What are you going to do with them? ” “ Going to find out which is the true one,"an- swered Burdon, with a dogged expression.
hvd.hwpa9c	What are you here for? ” Outwardly placid, but almost consumed with curiosity, Curt Keefe changed his seat for one nearer the window of the den.
hvd.hwpa9c	What could he reply to this very definite question?
hvd.hwpa9c	What did Mr. Appleby mean when he said to you some- thing about Keefe and the airship?"
hvd.hwpa9c	What did she tell you?
hvd.hwpa9c	What did you do or say?
hvd.hwpa9c	What do you know about it?
hvd.hwpa9c	What has got into you? ” “ I'm incorrigible, I guess"“ You are! ” and Allen smiled fondly at her.
hvd.hwpa9c	What have you done to him, Miss Lane? ” “ Maida, child, do n't speak like that!
hvd.hwpa9c	What he says goes- goes, understand?"
hvd.hwpa9c	What is the flower that rambles all over it?
hvd.hwpa9c	What is the matter with you?

hvd.hwpa9c	What is troubling you? ” “ Trouble?
hvd.hwpa9c	What made you think of such a thing? ” “ Oh, I'm thinking of all sorts of things to- day.
hvd.hwpa9c	What shall we do first, Jeffrey?"
hvd.hwpa9c	What started it? ” But nobody knew what started it.
hvd.hwpa9c	What was Mr. Wheeler doing? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hwpa9c	What was her own freedom of conscience compared with his tranquillity?
hvd.hwpa9c	What was her own peace of mind compared with her father's?
hvd.hwpa9c	What was the trouble, Mr. Wheeler? ” Daniel Wheeler gave a start.
hvd.hwpa9c	What weapon did you use? ” “ My own revolver."
hvd.hwpa9c	When did she go away? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	When you have your parents and me?
hvd.hwpa9c	Where did he vanish to?
hvd.hwpa9c	Where did you get the revolver?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Where is she? ” “ Do n't go to her, Jeff.
hvd.hwpa9c	Where is the man? ” asked Stone, his dark eyes alight with interest.
hvd.hwpa9c	Where is this maid who saw him clearly?
hvd.hwpa9c	Where might she be? ” “ She might be'most anywhere, but she is n't anywhere,"was the cryptic reply.
hvd.hwpa9c	Where shall I go to look for her? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.hwpa9c	Where shall I go to look for her? ” “ How should I know?
hvd.hwpa9c	Where's the weapon? ” “ I do n't have to tell you anything except that I did it.
hvd.hwpa9c	Where? ” Keefe showed his disap- pointment.
hvd.hwpa9c	Who could have done such a trick? ” “ I do n't know who, but somebody did.
hvd.hwpa9c	Who else could it have been?
hvd.hwpa9c	Who is the heir?
hvd.hwpa9c	Who plays the thing around here? ” “ No one, that I know of.
hvd.hwpa9c	Who was he?
hvd.hwpa9c	Who's Wheeler, anyhow? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Who's your musical neighbor? ” But Daniel Wheeler did not smile.
hvd.hwpa9c	Why are you talking like that?
hvd.hwpa9c	Why call her names?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Why does Mr. Wheeler act so polite most of the time, and then do some outrageous thing, like"“ Like what?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Why have n't you told this before? ” ma was m.
hvd.hwpa9c	Why is it so dreadful to want to see an arbor instead of a tea- house?
hvd.hwpa9c	Why not?
hvd.hwpa9c	Why should he do it?"
hvd.hwpa9c	Why, when Maida's own confes- sion does n't convince me, what else could?
hvd.hwpa9c	Will you condemn Maida to a broken- hearted life? ” “ Maida must decide for herself.
hvd.hwpa9c	Will you take your mother away — and return? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	Wo n't she come back? ” “ Who knows?
hvd.hwpa9c	Wo n't she come back? ” “ Who knows?
hvd.hwpa9c	Wo n't you trust me to do what I know to be right- and when I tell you I must marry Mr. Keefe, wo n't you believe me?
hvd.hwpa9c	Would n't every decent person?
hvd.hwpa9c	Would n't you like to kill him? ” THE OTHER HEIR 105 “ No, child — not that. ” “ But you'd be glad if he were dead!
hvd.hwpa9c	Would n't you?
hvd.hwpa9c	Years ago, Daniel Wheeler was pardoned for a crime he had committed"“ He did commit it, then? ” interrupted Keefe.
hvd.hwpa9c	You can save my little girl?
hvd.hwpa9c	You did n't do the killing, did you? ” “ Of course not!
hvd.hwpa9c	You did n't think it was he, though, did you? ” “ I wanted to yes, I think I did.
hvd.hwpa9c	You do n't be- lieve he did, do you? ” “ God help me!
hvd.hwpa9c	You know he ca n't do that! ” “ And yet you expect me to favor him! ” “ But do n't you see the difference?
hvd.hwpa9c	You know what compound- ing a felony means, do n't you?
hvd.hwpa9c	You know, Maida, how your mother holds this estate? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	You see, he bumped up against dad once, and got the worst of it. ” “ How?"
hvd.hwpa9c	You'll be here, wo n't you?
hvd.hwpa9c	You're Mr. Appleby's secretary, I believe?
hvd.hwpa9c	You've heard about him? ”.

hvd.hwpa9c	some THE BUGLE SOUNDED TAPS 99 “ How do you know?"
hvd.hwpa9c	you- oh, could n't you, bring yourself, somehow, to do what Mr. Appleby wants you to do?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ A menace, how? ” he asked, softly.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Am I to be consulted?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Am I to go up in an airship?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And Miss Wheeler?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And from where you sat, you could see the whole affair? ” “ I might have if I had looked — but I did n't.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And it dropped on the lawn? ” “ Not dropped; I threw it far out- as far as I could."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And signed this just before he died?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And so, you want me to soften him by persuad- ing his daughter to line up on our side?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And that lets out the women?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And this same Mills was the phantom bugler? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And thought no more about the person on the veranda?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And you killed Appleby for that reason? ” cried Allen.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ And you killed Mr. Appleby because he hounded your father in addition to the long depriva- tion he had imposed on him? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Are they equally determined? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Are you an authority on trees?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Are you sure of that? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Bless my soul, what do you mean?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ But what motive would Mrs. Wheeler have? ” “ The same as the others.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ But you ca n't conscientiously do it, eh? ” Appleby laughed.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ By a fraud? ” “ I do n't know"“ I wo n't have it!
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Ca n't you persuade him?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Can you do it? ” she asked, tremulously.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Can you give me any fact or suggest to me any theory that points toward any one but Mr. Daniel Wheeler as the murderer of Samuel Appleby? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Can you prove it- I mean, to my satisfaction?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Can you tell me? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Circumstances? ” repeated Rachel, wrinkling her brow.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Come for a ramble with me, wo n't you? ” And, knowing that the encounter was inevitable, Maida went.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Could n't she describe him?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Could n't you have overlooked it?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Did old Appleby want to marry Maida? ” “ Yes, he did.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Did you hear it? ” “ Of course I did.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Do n't speak flippantly of such subjects. ” “ Well, father, why not be honest?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Do n't you just adore it? ” “ Oh, yes.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Do you care to tell me the details?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Do you feel that way, too? ” he asked, looking at her a little absently.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Got any clue, sir?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Has n’t Wheeler tried for a pardon all this time?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Have you lived here so long? ” Genevieve was alert for information.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Have you? ” laughed Maida.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ He stuck to his faked yarn as long as the sticking was good, and then he caved in. ” “ Open and shut case, Terence? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Her parents-- or, one of them? ” “ That is the reasonable supposition.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Honest, now, do you want to help? ” he asked.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How are you certain? ” “ Her father saw her. ” “ Saw her shoot? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then, I'm glad you told me.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How are you certain? ” “ Her father saw her. ” “ Saw her shoot? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then, I'm glad you told me.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How could they be heard if they did n't?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How could we know?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How do I know?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How do you know? ” she smiled at him.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How do you know?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How'd it start?".
hvd.hwpa9c	“ How'd you happen to? ” “ Oh, I just snooped around till I came to it.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ I ca n't quite make you out, ” he declared; “ either you're a very brave heroine- or- “ Or? ” queried Maida.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ I can — but do I want to?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ I was there, in the room- I could see that he did n't kill him! ” “ Who did then? ” and the detective turned to her.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ I would like to ask, ” Hallen said, “ what Mrs. Wheeler meant by crying out that it was the work of a'phantom burglar'? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ I've something to say, for I am en- gaged to Curtis Keefe myself. ” “ Does he think you are? ” Stone said, rather casually.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Is it Goethe's?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Is that John Mills'signature? ” he asked, show- ing her the paper.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Just how do you propose to find out?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Just what did she say?".
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Looked there? ” “ No; I have n't."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Meaning just what, Mr. Allen? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Need I go on?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Never see one like it? ” “ No; have you? ” “ Yes, I have.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Never see one like it? ” “ No; have you? ” “ Yes, I have.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ No?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Nothing can alter that? ” “ Nothing, Samuel Appleby. ” “ That remains to be seen.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Now, as I've just told Allen, I'm coming back as soon as I can make it, and until I do, wo n't you try to hold off those men?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Now, can you find this man, Mr. Stone? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Now, see here,"Stone said, kindly; “ you want to do anything you can, do n't you, to help your hus- band and daughter? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Oh, is that so?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Oh, that's his idea?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Oh, then she only waits on first- class ladies? ” “ Yes; that's why she's so fond of me.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Poor little girl,"he said, the quick tears spring- ing to his eyes; “ what dreadful thing can that man have held over her to force her to this?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Self- defence?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ She does, and what can I say to disprove her belief?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ She had been with you, in the den? ” “ I do n't know."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Since when? ” “ Why, I saw her last about two hours ago.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Standing?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Suppose one should appear, what then? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ That might not be at all a bad plan, ” he said, slowly;"are you in earnest?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ The secret was Appleby's? ” “ Yes; that is, he knew it.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ The whole tribe?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Then he'll be down again shortly? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Then who could it have been? ” and Sara Wheeler looked amazed.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Then you went down because of the quarreling voices not because of the fire- alarm? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Then you'll do it? ” “ Of course I will — if I get opportunity. ” “ Oh, you'll have that.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Then?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Thought you were wondering about the fire?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Vamoosed?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ We can get in touch with you at any time, Mr. Appleby? ” he asked.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Well, I was passing the veranda"“ Coming from where and going where? ” inter- rupted Stone, speaking gently.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Well, he might have been moving — I dunno. ” “ Are you sure it was a man?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Well, ” he laughed, “ I'm quite ready to admit that the wish was father to the thought. ” “ Why do you call that an admission? ” 44.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Well, ” said Allen, “ where does all this lead us? ” “ It leads us, ” Keefe returned, “ to the necessity of a lot of hard work.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What Keefe is going up in an airship?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What about?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What are we going to do? ” she exclaimed to him.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What did they do about the Massachu- setts business?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What did you do?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What did you do? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What did you find out? ” Burdon asked, com- ing out from behind a nearby clump of shrubbery.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What did you mean by making up that string of falsehoods?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What do you know about the Wheeler busi- ness, kid?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What do you mean by that? ” cried Wheeler, turning quickly toward the speaker.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What do you mean?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What is it? ” he asked.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What were those coats doing in an unused car? ” asked Stone.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What would make you want to?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What's Curtie Keefe doing with your girl?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What's the pretty letter all about, Curtie?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What's this about the tree going to Massachu- setts? ” Fibsy asked, his freckled face earnestly inquiring.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ What? ” “ Yep.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Whatcha want? ” he demanded.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ When did you take it from the drawer?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where did you get it? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where is it? ” “ I threw it out of the window."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where is the lady? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where was Mr. Wheeler?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where's the weapon, whoever did it?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where's the weapon, ” asked Keefe, abruptly, “ if Mr. Wheeler did it?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Where, in the car? ” “ I asked that, ” Fibsy returned, “ and they were hanging on the coat- rail.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Which one do you think it is? ” demanded Allen, angrily.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Which one, for choice?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Which one? ” asked Maida.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Which way? ” he asked as they crossed the south veranda.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Which window?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Who am I that I should judge you, dear?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Who do you want to tell you the secret we're ready to give away? ” “ Both, ” Fibsy spoke up.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Who is it?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Who killed him? ” said Genevieve, in a hushed tone, as she left the telephone.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Who said he was? ” “ Mostly she said it herself. ” “ She ought to know!
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Who'll take your place?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Whom then do you suspect?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why difficult? ” Dan Wheeler said, quickly.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why do n't you know which it was? ” asked Burdon, bluntly.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why for? ” “ Well, she's plain disappeared, if you know what that means."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why is Mr. Keefe coming here?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why not?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why should anybody do it, except myself?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why should he?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why the written confession?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why, I- I was coming from the — the garage"“ Where you had been talking to Fulton? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Why, dads, what are you looking miserable about?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Wo n't he get pardoned now? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Yes; and what did you see? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Yes; but if I could get him back, do n't you suppose I would?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ Yes; for instance, where was Mrs. Wheeler when you heard the shot? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You agree, do n't you, Mr. Stone, that it was no phantom who blew audible notes on a bugle? ”.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You are not well, Mrs. Wheeler? ” Stone asked, courteously.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You can help us pick out the murderer- for, I take it, you want justice done? ” “ Yes — yes, of course."
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You did n't get up and go to find out?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You know young Sam Appleby? ” he asked, casually.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You think not?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You — you have them in charge? ” Maida asked, quite evidently agitated at the thought.
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You're going to save her?
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You're out of the running?"
hvd.hwpa9c	“ You're sure? ”.

mdp.39015030225992	TEIE SECRET SPRING 9 When we got to the end of it Vignerte asked me: “ Where is the last post of the 23rd? ” We visited it.
mdp.39015030225992	THE SECRET SPRING 135 “ What do you mean, monsieur? ” said Aurora of Lautenburg.
mdp.39015030225992	THE SECRET SPRING 167 “ I was asked: “ What does your Highness require? ’ “ ‘ Everything,'I replied coldly.
mdp.39015030225992	THE SECRET SPRING 89 “ Taras- Bulba| Is that her horse? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030225992	Then I added quickly: “ What about you?
mdp.39015030225992	Then I thought, “ What does it matter?
mdp.39015030225992	Then what on earth does?
mdp.39015030225992	To put it shortly, may I ask you a ques- tion which sums up all this?
mdp.39015030225992	Was I always to be the man who “ worked very hard, ” I, whose nights were passed in dreams of a voluptuousness that none suspected?
mdp.39015030225992	Was I always to wear the pedant's gown?
mdp.39015030225992	Was I really being a fool?
mdp.39015030225992	Was Sophie- Dorothea Königsmark's mistress?
mdp.39015030225992	Was Sophie- Dorothea's marriage a spur to his old love or a blow to his vanity?
mdp.39015030225992	Was the Count, as some say, buried in a grave in the park?
mdp.39015030225992	Was this gentle, listless creature, indeed, the THE SECRET SPRING 97 Amazon of the morning?
mdp.39015030225992	What about my own vanity, when I ascended the steps of the Foreign Office at his side?
mdp.39015030225992	What about your- self?
mdp.39015030225992	What are you after now?
mdp.39015030225992	What ca n't you say? ” I cursed my clumsy and premature exclamation, which looked like compromising in one second two months of patient approach.
mdp.39015030225992	What can I say to you?
mdp.39015030225992	What cared I for dryasdust History at that moment?
mdp.39015030225992	What could I have said?
mdp.39015030225992	What did I care?
mdp.39015030225992	What had I done?
mdp.39015030225992	What had given me that con- fident step, that self- assurance, that lightness of heart?
mdp.39015030225992	What impulse was urging me on that evening, I, who confined myself to the tawdry delights of the Latin Quarter and never crossed the bridges at night?
mdp.39015030225992	What is it? ” He came in, followed by the two men, who had their arms full of bunches of flags.
mdp.39015030225992	What is the cause of your suffering?
mdp.39015030225992	What on earth should I have said, had I been challenged?
mdp.39015030225992	What shall we do with you? ” “ You have a spare horse to lend him? ” said the Grand Duchess.
mdp.39015030225992	What shall we do with you? ” “ You have a spare horse to lend him? ” said the Grand Duchess.
mdp.39015030225992	What was it?
mdp.39015030225992	What was the good of exchanging them?
mdp.39015030225992	What wealth of meaning had I not read into them?
mdp.39015030225992	What's in that paper? ” I had the greatest difficulty in controlling my feelings.
mdp.39015030225992	What's this new craze of yours?
mdp.39015030225992	When do you start? ” “ Tomorrow, ” I said.
mdp.39015030225992	Where do you expect to find the colonel at a review?
mdp.39015030225992	Where was this river going?
mdp.39015030225992	Who drew it up?
mdp.39015030225992	Why was he so moved tonight?
mdp.39015030225992	Will you tell me, ” she added, “ how this paper came into your possession? ” 126 THE SECRET SPRING s I told her the whole story of my discovery.
mdp.39015030225992	Wo n’t you speak to me, Wignerte, wo n’t you tell me?
mdp.39015030225992	Would you let him go to Lauten- burg? ” He looked straight at me, and replied firmly,&&.
mdp.39015030225992	You dine with us, of course? ” “ My friend Vignerte wants you to give him the pleasure of being your host, ” said Ribeyre.
mdp.39015030225992	You do n’t suppose that dur- ing my long, lonely nights I had forgotten the con- fidences of a man of Professor Thierry's standing?
mdp.39015030225992	You understand, now?
mdp.39015030225992	Your salary is to be ten thousand marks, is n’t it?
mdp.39015030225992	nobos would think of it? ” THE SECRET SPRING 217 appearance, and with difficulty suppressed an ex- clamation.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Any telephone messages, Fabien? ” “ Yes, sir, one from the Minister of Commerce.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Anything fresh? ” I asked him.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Anything serious? ” she asked simply.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Are you always working, Monsieur Vignerte? ” asked Aurora, with a smile tinged with delicate irony.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Are you armed? ” she said.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Are you certain that the proposal has been made to you on behalf of the Grand Duke of Lauten- burg- Detmold? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Are you going to the review tomorrow? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Are you sure of the number?
mdp.39015030225992	“ But really, lieutenant, what's all this about?
mdp.39015030225992	“ But what's your job now?
mdp.39015030225992	“ But who could have told him that we should come tonight? ” said the Grand Duchess.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Ca n't we ever get hold of you? ” he said, laughing.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Can I assist you in any way? ” “ Most certainly you can, ” said Aurora.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Danger? ” “ Yes, Herr von Hagen.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you call what you have just told me important or not?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you know Baron von Boose? ” “ Excuse me, madame, ” I stammered.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you know if the raid of the 22nd succeeded?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you know that writing? ” she asked, holding out a letter.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you like that? ” Aurora asked.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you play bridge? ” she asked.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you read poetry well? ” I was somewhat taken aback, though the question was disarmingly simple.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you realize your sentries arrested me off- hand just now?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Do you realize, Lieutenant, how far this jesting may carry you?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Does that surprise you? ” she continued.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Every now and then the Grand Duke turned round: “ ‘ I ’m not going too fast, am I?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Has the Herr Professor had a pleasant journey?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Have I the honour of addressing Her Highness the Grand Duchess of Lautenburg? ” he said, stif- fening to attention.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Have you any objection to leaving the country for a bit?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Have you read this libelous stuff, sir? ” He held out La Peau de Chagrin.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Herr von Hagen, are you mad? ” “ No, Your Highness, ” replied the little officer, in a low, insistent voice.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Herr von Hagen, ” she said, coming back, “ are you to take Monsieur Vignerte to the citadel?
mdp.39015030225992	“ How can I serve Your Highness? ” “ Very easily, ” said the Grand Duchess.
mdp.39015030225992	“ I presume General von Offenburg is still commanding at Thionville?
mdp.39015030225992	“ I presume, Herr von Hagen, that you have your identity card and mobilization orders on you? ” He rose, quivering with horror.
mdp.39015030225992	“ I think you found me much better- looking this morning before seeing her, did n't you? ” she whispered.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Infantry or Jäger? ” “ Infantry.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Is n’t it, Madame Mazerat? ” The manicuriste made a sharp, clucking noise to demonstrate the pleasure my performance had given her.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Libelous stuff? ” I said in amazement.
mdp.39015030225992	“ My dear master, ” I said, “ will you be really frank with me?
mdp.39015030225992	“ My mobilization orders? ” he repeated, deadly pale.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Sha n't I? ” said Aurora, smiling.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Since when have officers under arrest acquired the habit of leav- ing the citadel? ” Hagen stood like a rock and said nothing.
mdp.39015030225992	“ So soon? ” “ Yes, ” said Aurora.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Stop him I? ” But I was already too far.
mdp.39015030225992	“ The 24th of the 218th Regiment, sir. ” “ Are you taking over the Blanc- Sablon trenches? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Good.
mdp.39015030225992	“ The boiled lobster?
mdp.39015030225992	“ To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Vignerte, what on earth's the trouble? ” An even more convulsive clasp of his hand was all my reply.
mdp.39015030225992	“ We ’ll leave them all behind, wo n’t we? ’ “ He nodded amiably to show he'd understood, and I went out to try on my riding- habit.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Well? ” I said.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What Company?"
mdp.39015030225992	“ What about yourself, Fräulein? ” “ I?
mdp.39015030225992	“ What about yourself, Fräulein? ” “ I?
mdp.39015030225992	“ What are they? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What are you up to? ” “ You can see for yourself, ” I said, somewhat stung.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What can you play? ” “ Ecarté, sir. ” “ All right; Écarté. ” For a full hour Wignerte lost steadily.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What do you mean, sir? ” he murmured in alarm.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What do you wish me to do? ” he murmured in a tremulous, hoarse voice.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What does that mean? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What is it, then? ” she said, in that slightly scornful tone she immediately assumed when she thought you were trying to mystify her.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What news have you at your end? ” I asked the man.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What time is it? ” I lit my electric torch.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What time? ” “ Six o'clock.
mdp.39015030225992	“ What ’s the time?
mdp.39015030225992	“ Where are you going? ” the Grand Duchess inquired.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Where is Lieutenant Wignerte? ” “ At the head, sir. ” A hand was placed on my shoulder.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Where's he going? ” cried Aurora.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Where's the Grand Duchess? ” I murmured to Marçais.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Who goes there? ” “ Masséna. ” ‘ ‘ Melun. ’ ’ “ It is the officer of the 24th sent to get into touch with you.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Will the Herr Professor kindly get out? ” said the lackey, opening the door while the chauffeur sounded his horn.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Will the Herr Professor please step this way? ” I was now in a kind of arbour.
mdp.39015030225992	“ Will you be kind enough to explain?
mdp.39015030225992	“ You ’ve accepted it? ” “ What else could I do? ” I answered sharply.
mdp.39015030225992	“ You ’ve accepted it? ” “ What else could I do? ” I answered sharply.
mdp.39015030225992	“ ‘ What's that noise? ” he asked in a low tone.
mdp.39015030225992	“ ‘ You consented, without waiting to ask me? ’ I broke in.
mdp.39015018621642	A bullet from my.351 did kill Charlotte?
mdp.39015018621642	Alicia's my pet prohibitionist, did you know?
mdp.39015018621642	And a gun?
mdp.39015018621642	And something to eat before you go to bed?
mdp.39015018621642	Are you all right? mdp.39015018621642 Are you all right?
mdp.39015018621642	Are you going to marry Jim Holland? mdp.39015018621642 At once?"
mdp.39015018621642	But, good God, Chris, why?
mdp.39015018621642	Ca n't you find out,she said in a low voice,"where they all were when that man was hit?"
mdp.39015018621642	Ca n't you put off your trip?
mdp.39015018621642	Charlotte Foy was n't killed with a revolver or a flintlock or a shotgun, she was killed with a bullet from Bruce Cun- ningham's.351—or was she?
mdp.39015018621642	Charlotte — what does she suspect?
mdp.39015018621642	Did they seem surprised to see Eve Flavell?
mdp.39015018621642	Did you see what it was, Captain?
mdp.39015018621642	Did you talk to Susan, Inspector?
mdp.39015018621642	Do you get the apparent contradiction, Miss Fla- vell? mdp.39015018621642 Do you have to tell her, In- spector?
mdp.39015018621642	Edgar? mdp.39015018621642 Has anything impor- tant been discovered, Inspector?"
mdp.39015018621642	Have a look, Inspector?
mdp.39015018621642	Hello there, build a new plane today, my bucco?
mdp.39015018621642	How are you going to prevent it?
mdp.39015018621642	How could Buchanan do anything for Bruce?
mdp.39015018621642	How do you know?
mdp.39015018621642	How is Gerald, Alicia? mdp.39015018621642 How many for dinner?"
mdp.39015018621642	How many have you had already?
mdp.39015018621642	How's the book coming, Father?
mdp.39015018621642	In case of Natalie's death, to whom would her money go, Mr. Gor- ham?
mdp.39015018621642	In- spector?
mdp.39015018621642	Inspector McKee? mdp.39015018621642 Is it — Bruce?"
mdp.39015018621642	Is n't there a back way in, Nat?
mdp.39015018621642	Is she going to get better? mdp.39015018621642 It has to be one of them?"
mdp.39015018621642	It's about Miss Foy, I suppose? mdp.39015018621642 It's all been said, has n't it?"
mdp.39015018621642	It's rather like Cornwall, is n't it, Eve?
mdp.39015018621642	Look for a drug, a sedative of some sort, will you? mdp.39015018621642 Money?"
mdp.39015018621642	Mr. Flavell? mdp.39015018621642 Natalie — what are you saying?
mdp.39015018621642	News, Eve? mdp.39015018621642 Nice little hell cat, is n't she?"
mdp.39015018621642	Not in the box?
mdp.39015018621642	She is n't looking well, is she? mdp.39015018621642 She's — is she dead?"
mdp.39015018621642	So you think I killed her?
mdp.39015018621642	Surprised? mdp.39015018621642 The shop?
mdp.39015018621642	The third time, Miss Flavell?
mdp.39015018621642	Then it was Charlotte who made you do this?
mdp.39015018621642	Then what in hell are you doing with those things?
mdp.39015018621642	Then why were they removed? mdp.39015018621642 We can see Eve tomorrow, In- spector?"
mdp.39015018621642	Well, McKee?
mdp.39015018621642	Well, well, well, so you forgot your wallet? mdp.39015018621642 What about money?
mdp.39015018621642	What did he look like, Eve?
mdp.39015018621642	What did you do with the contents of that?
mdp.39015018621642	What happened? mdp.39015018621642 What is it, Joan?"
mdp.39015018621642	What time did you leave here, Lieutenant?
mdp.39015018621642	What was in it?
mdp.39015018621642	What was the financial arrangement before last April, during her minority?
mdp.39015018621642	Where have you been all day? mdp.39015018621642 Where is it now, Pierson?"
mdp.39015018621642	Where is it?
mdp.39015018621642	Where is she now?
mdp.39015018621642	Where is she — Eve?
mdp.39015018621642	Where were the bonds?
mdp.39015018621642	While we're on the subject, McKee, why pull that quick- change act in the corridor in the Norwalk Hospital? mdp.39015018621642 Who let you in, Miss Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	Who was it?
mdp.39015018621642	Whoever did it had to know where Charlotte was going to be — and how could any- one know who did n't hear her telephone to Bruce?
mdp.39015018621642	Why did you go back, Miss Flavell?
mdp.39015018621642	Will you look at this, Mrs. De Sange, please?
mdp.39015018621642	Yeshe said, anger thick in him,"what has Eve done that the police — why could n't she come to the phone?"
mdp.39015018621642	Yes? mdp.39015018621642 You came all the way here without missing your purse, although I presume you took a cab?
mdp.39015018621642	You came here to get your rifle, did n't you, Lieutenant?
mdp.39015018621642	You do n't mean to say you did n't spot the gent in the iron derby at the funeral, my pet? mdp.39015018621642 You know how your t aunt died, Miss Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	You know what ought to be in the box?
mdp.39015018621642	You understand the questions I'm going to ask you are purely routine, Lieutenant? mdp.39015018621642 You were with my father?
mdp.39015018621642	You would n't want your sister to marry a man like that, come now, would you, Miss Flavell?
mdp.39015018621642	You — heard, Alicia?
mdp.39015018621642	You're at it again, are n't you?
mdp.39015018621642	You're convinced Cunningham is our man?
mdp.39015018621642	You're sure Bruce Cunningham was in his room here in the village when Bently was slugged?
mdp.39015018621642	You're sure there's nothing I can do, that you do n't want me to stay?
mdp.39015018621642	You're sure you wo n't come in?
mdp.39015018621642	You've come about Charlotte? mdp.39015018621642 Your idea is that Edgar Bently knows something?"
mdp.39015018621642	.?"
mdp.39015018621642	.?"
mdp.39015018621642	102 Could Gomam remember a Susan De Sange, a young widow?
mdp.39015018621642	176"What did she say?
mdp.39015018621642	50 I the fact that it was a nasty night, you returned to get it, through the fog?"
mdp.39015018621642	95"Not too hot, are you, baby?
mdp.39015018621642	?"
mdp.39015018621642	A man who paid his way with charm,"that's the only thing I've plenty of, baby"?
mdp.39015018621642	A prospective buyer had turned up, was there now — would Miss Flavell come?
mdp.39015018621642	After that?
mdp.39015018621642	Alicia said brightly,"Well, darling, you're alive, I see — which of us is for the torture chamber next?"
mdp.39015018621642	Am 1 going through with what —?"
mdp.39015018621642	And now Charlotte Foy's will, the will she spoke of changing when she reached Boston?"
mdp.39015018621642	And what about Bently?"
mdp.39015018621642	Are you all right?"
mdp.39015018621642	Are you coming or going?"
mdp.39015018621642	Are you going through with it?"
mdp.39015018621642	Are you going through with your marriage, or are you going to put it off?"
mdp.39015018621642	Are you in love with Holland?
mdp.39015018621642	As for waiting — what good would it have done?
mdp.39015018621642	As long as I'm it, whoever killed Charlotte wo n't make another move?"
mdp.39015018621642	At her elbow Jim said quietly,"What is it, darling?
mdp.39015018621642	Behind him, Cunningham said,"What is it, Inspector?"
mdp.39015018621642	Bruce was under arrest, but if the New York police were certain he was guilty why were they having them followed and watched?
mdp.39015018621642	Business folded?"
mdp.39015018621642	But his glance at her was puzzled and — was there a question in it?
mdp.39015018621642	But how can I talk to him with all those people around?
mdp.39015018621642	But what about motive?
mdp.39015018621642	But, would you mind telling me why you did n't come out in the open, Lieutenant?
mdp.39015018621642	Can I be of any assistance?"
mdp.39015018621642	Charlotte Foy had been shot and killed before 11 p.m. the previous night — but how long before?
mdp.39015018621642	Could she make it?
mdp.39015018621642	Did he say anything about Bruce?"
mdp.39015018621642	Did she — kill herself?"
mdp.39015018621642	Eve said flatly,"Natalie ca n't help it if her money's in- vested in a factory that turns out aeroplane gauges, can she?"
mdp.39015018621642	Eve thought despairingly, Why did he have to come now?
mdp.39015018621642	Exactly what hap- pened after Miss Flavell fainted?"
mdp.39015018621642	Exercise — have you been taking your walks?"
mdp.39015018621642	Fernandez murmured rumina- tively,"perhaps a scarf — remember how Isadora Duncan was killed?"
mdp.39015018621642	Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	Good Lord, he's not mixed up in this?"
mdp.39015018621642	Good news?"
mdp.39015018621642	Had he gone out for his accustomed walk in the park on the night Charlotte died?
mdp.39015018621642	Had he heard Susan and the man in the polo coat talking?
mdp.39015018621642	Have n't you got the right key?"
mdp.39015018621642	Have the police been at you again?"
mdp.39015018621642	Have you any idea, any inkling, of what Miss Foy had on Cunningham that made it necessary for him to kill her?"
mdp.39015018621642	Have you been doing what Doctor Hendricks ordered?"
mdp.39015018621642	Have you been overdoing it with your countless aid things?
mdp.39015018621642	He did n't believe for a moment that she had killed her aunt in cold blood, but what about hot?
mdp.39015018621642	He jerked himself out of stillness to say, turning to her frowningly,"Ha — well, did you see anything that helps, Eve?"
mdp.39015018621642	He kissed her, said briskly,"Hi, Nat — Ready?"
mdp.39015018621642	He said impatiently,"Well?"
mdp.39015018621642	He said in a slow level voice, eyeing Alicia steadily,"Are you out of your mind?"
mdp.39015018621642	He said,"Eve suspected you, Susan?
mdp.39015018621642	He said,"What the devil are you up to?"
mdp.39015018621642	He said,"What was your own reaction, Mr. Gorham?
mdp.39015018621642	He was strikingly hand- some and — a little soft?
mdp.39015018621642	His own whereabouts between six- fifty and eight the night before?
mdp.39015018621642	Holland?"
mdp.39015018621642	How are you?
mdp.39015018621642	How did it come on?
mdp.39015018621642	How did you manage to get away?
mdp.39015018621642	How much would it have come to?
mdp.39015018621642	How soon will Bently be ready for me?"
mdp.39015018621642	How was she going to get rid of him?
mdp.39015018621642	How would it affect their interests?
mdp.39015018621642	How would you ever get the poison out of your veins?
mdp.39015018621642	How's Bunny?"
mdp.39015018621642	I've been trying to get you for the last hour?"
mdp.39015018621642	If she went to the police with that they'd say,"Uh- huh — so what?"
mdp.39015018621642	If someone wanted to kill her with Bruce's rifle — why wait that long?"
mdp.39015018621642	In strict confidence, 101 of course?
mdp.39015018621642	In the burial of a woman who had been murdered?
mdp.39015018621642	Interested in what?
mdp.39015018621642	Is it a promise?"
mdp.39015018621642	It had n't yet come but how long would this state of affairs last?
mdp.39015018621642	Kent said,"What do you think of it, Inspector?"
mdp.39015018621642	May I come in and have a look?"
mdp.39015018621642	McKee said pleasantly,"Miss Flavell?"
mdp.39015018621642	McKee said,"Looking for something, Mrs. De Sange?
mdp.39015018621642	Natalie said,"If she's not here, where can she be?"
mdp.39015018621642	Natalie said,"Oh, Eve dear, ca n't you stay?"
mdp.39015018621642	No, she would n't have either, but she would like a cup of tea... there was n't a pinch in the house?
mdp.39015018621642	No?
mdp.39015018621642	Now is n't that nice?"
mdp.39015018621642	Now — do you know anything that will shed any light on her death?"
mdp.39015018621642	On business?"
mdp.39015018621642	Ought you to be making this effort?"
mdp.39015018621642	Outside the door of the apartment a detective said,"What's the matter, Mr. Graham?
mdp.39015018621642	Question the people here now?
mdp.39015018621642	She dashed tears from her lashes and turned on her father,"You do n't believe Bruce did kill Aunt Charlotte, do you?"
mdp.39015018621642	She said aloud, marveling at her own mendacity,"I.... Where did you spring from?
mdp.39015018621642	She said sharply,"What?"
mdp.39015018621642	She said, balancing her glass and a cigarette in a long jade holder and looking from Eve to Jim,"What about you two?
mdp.39015018621642	She said, lightly and too casually,"My dear, where did you spring from?"
mdp.39015018621642	She turned, lifted the instrument, said"Yes?
mdp.39015018621642	She was offering him insolence as a red herring — for what?
mdp.39015018621642	She was saying in an icy little tone,"You heard about — Charlotte, Bruce?
mdp.39015018621642	Step on it, will you, Edwards?"
mdp.39015018621642	Suppose other people had keys, too?"
mdp.39015018621642	Suppose the police were already there?
mdp.39015018621642	Suppose they came back here?
mdp.39015018621642	Tea?
mdp.39015018621642	The Flavells?
mdp.39015018621642	The effect?
mdp.39015018621642	There now, you see?"
mdp.39015018621642	Tonight, I mean?
mdp.39015018621642	Was n't he with the Inspector at the shop that first day?"
mdp.39015018621642	Was n't it rather stupid of you to come straight here?"
mdp.39015018621642	Was such a man likely to have shot down an elderly and defenseless woman out of the dark?
mdp.39015018621642	Was that all he wanted?"
mdp.39015018621642	Was this coincidence, or was it something more sinister?
mdp.39015018621642	We are making nuisances of ourselves, are n't we?
mdp.39015018621642	Well, Inspector, what do you make of it?"
mdp.39015018621642	Were they on their way to nth Street now?
mdp.39015018621642	What about Edgar?"
mdp.39015018621642	What about your plans?
mdp.39015018621642	What brings you to the old manse?
mdp.39015018621642	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015018621642	What did it matter?
mdp.39015018621642	What did the Inspector want?
mdp.39015018621642	What did you think?
mdp.39015018621642	What do you know?"
mdp.39015018621642	What does it mean?
mdp.39015018621642	What had Eve Flavell been referring to when she said,"I did n't tell the police about last night?"
mdp.39015018621642	What had Virginia, Natalie's mother and Hugh Flavell's second wife, died of?
mdp.39015018621642	What he said, musingly, almost indifferently, was:"You could n't wait, could you, Eve?
mdp.39015018621642	What possible reason could I have for killing Charlotte Foy?
mdp.39015018621642	What should she do with the rifle, where could she conceal it so that it would n't be easily found?
mdp.39015018621642	What significance did it have?"
mdp.39015018621642	What was he doing there, idling in front of the house?
mdp.39015018621642	What was she afraid of?
mdp.39015018621642	What was that?
mdp.39015018621642	What was the matter with her, why could n't she think?
mdp.39015018621642	What was worrying her aunt and Alicia and Gerald — and even Natalie?
mdp.39015018621642	What were the others, what was Natalie thinking?
mdp.39015018621642	What's the matter?
mdp.39015018621642	When did you decide?
mdp.39015018621642	When would the search take place?
mdp.39015018621642	When's it to be?"
mdp.39015018621642	Where could she put it?
mdp.39015018621642	Where had the detectives gone?
mdp.39015018621642	Where's Dalligan?"
mdp.39015018621642	Who are you, what do you want?"
mdp.39015018621642	Who produced it?
mdp.39015018621642	Who was outside on the pavement demanding admit- tance?
mdp.39015018621642	Whose photograph was it, Mrs. De Sange?
mdp.39015018621642	Why ca n't we find a trace of them anywhere?
mdp.39015018621642	Why could n't he have stayed away until it was over and I 17 was gone?
mdp.39015018621642	Why could n't people leave her alone?
mdp.39015018621642	Why did n't you come to my Thanks- giving party?
mdp.39015018621642	Why did she 44 come back?
mdp.39015018621642	Why did she pretend, like that, in the cemetery?"
mdp.39015018621642	Why did she try to conceal from me that she knew Mr. Bently?
mdp.39015018621642	Why did you stand there gaping at those nurses, and at the orderly coming out of Bently's room?"
mdp.39015018621642	Why do n't you come clean?
mdp.39015018621642	Why had Bruce mentioned the rifle here, now, before them?
mdp.39015018621642	Why have they dis- appeared?
mdp.39015018621642	Why should anyone wait like that, without a purpose?
mdp.39015018621642	Why should anyone want to hurt Eve?"
mdp.39015018621642	Why should either of them care if Hugh and Susan were to marry?
mdp.39015018621642	Why was it torn?
mdp.39015018621642	Why you hid in there in that closet under the stairs?"
mdp.39015018621642	Will the others, my father and Natalie, have to know?
mdp.39015018621642	Would Mr. Graham be in Bruce's apartment?
mdp.39015018621642	Would n't you like to go outside and get a breath of air?"
mdp.39015018621642	Would she have a Scotch, or he could shake up a cocktail?
mdp.39015018621642	Would you like to talk to him, Commissioner?
mdp.39015018621642	Would you mind telling me what you were doing, where you were, during that time?"
mdp.39015018621642	Yes, sir, if you'll wait here?"
mdp.39015018621642	Yet — what cot3fld they, the police, do to hold the line?
mdp.39015018621642	You going to talk to them some more?"
mdp.39015018621642	You see?
mdp.39015018621642	You were in the shop all last evening with the estimable Mr. Holland, I presume?
mdp.39015018621642	You're coming with us?
mdp.39015018621642	You're sure about it?
mdp.39015018621642	j The better not to see you with, my dear?
hvd.hxdnbh	. ” “ But What about Ferail? ” “ Ferail, otherwise No.
hvd.hxdnbh	. ” “ Have I? ” said Wallion, laughing.
hvd.hxdnbh	. ” “ Tell lies?
hvd.hxdnbh	. ” “ That your father?
hvd.hxdnbh	. ” “ Why use that word? ”- “ Because I know so well that for all you have done, it is impossible to.

hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI duty?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI gan to consider what he should do; but what could he do all alone?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI he said; “ but who are E. R. and Toroni? ” At the mention of Toroni ’s name Dreyel set his lips and snatched the paper from Murner.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI main here?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI the cabin; Dixon is a fine fellow, is n't he?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ And suppose they should retire to their cabins again? ” said Tom vexed.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ At once, do you understand?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ Everything? ” she said, solemnly looking up at him.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ Is n’t it rather a waste of time to wait here any longer? ” “ What do you mean? ” said the inspector in a grumbling tone.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ Is n’t it rather a waste of time to wait here any longer? ” “ What do you mean? ” said the inspector in a grumbling tone.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ What do you mean? ” asked Murner, “ Are you afraid of it? ” “ No, ” replied Dreyel, “ but no one must lay a finger upon it.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ What do you mean? ” asked Murner, “ Are you afraid of it? ” “ No, ” replied Dreyel, “ but no one must lay a finger upon it.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ What on earth is it? ” said Tom, rather scared.
hvd.hxdnbh	13 TORONI “ Why did I let her go?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 Toron?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 Toroni Ferail had given a sign to Doctor Corman?
hvd.hxdnbh	13 Toroni?
hvd.hxdnbh	? ” “ The little lady?
hvd.hxdnbh	? ” “ The little lady?
hvd.hxdnbh	After a time he remarked: “ Where did you get that? ” Wallion answered: “ Allow me a question first.
hvd.hxdnbh	After a while Tom heard him mutter to himself: “ Anyhow, he is most interesting as a repre- sentative of a certain type. ” “ Who?
hvd.hxdnbh	Ah, well, I know as little, maybe even less. ” “ Do you really mean what you say? ” asked the journalist.
hvd.hxdnbh	And what for, may I ask? ” he queried in despair.
hvd.hxdnbh	And why did Dreyel seek his help now?
hvd.hxdnbh	Are you a conjurer?
hvd.hxdnbh	Are you aware that the police are looking for her? ” The doctor gave no answer.
hvd.hxdnbh	At 6:30 he telephoned to Director Edward A. Dixon. ” “ To whom, did you say? ” burst out Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	At first I took you for an American. ” “ Why should you take me for an American? ” “ Well, have n’t you just come from America?
hvd.hxdnbh	At first I took you for an American. ” “ Why should you take me for an American? ” “ Well, have n’t you just come from America?
hvd.hxdnbh	At last Dixon said, impatiently, “ Bah, Elaine?
hvd.hxdnbh	At last he asked: “ What are you going to do? ” “ I am going to unravel the mystery, of course, ” replied Wallion, rather irritably.
hvd.hxdnbh	Ca n't the girl remain quietly where she is? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdnbh	Can a mine disappear so entirely in the space of six- teen years?
hvd.hxdnbh	Can you imagine such a thing? ” he burst out, raising his clasped hands.
hvd.hxdnbh	Chris- tian Dreyel, I presume? ” The man looked at him with undisguised curiosity.
hvd.hxdnbh	Could it be possible that Maurice Wallion, with only such slight data to go upon, had already come to some conclusion regarding this wretched affair?
hvd.hxdnbh	Could it be that these small hands were stained with the lifeblood of Victor Dreyel?
hvd.hxdnbh	Could those fellows that drove away in Dixon's car have set to work in peace and quiet to exploit a stolen gold- mine?
hvd.hxdnbh	Did she hope she might see the smoke of a liner?
hvd.hxdnbh	Did you get my wire? ” His angular features simply beamed with pent up energy, and he was evidently much excited as he spoke.
hvd.hxdnbh	Did you see her?
hvd.hxdnbh	Do n't you know that every one calls him the ‘ problem solver ’?
hvd.hxdnbh	Do you mean to imply that the doctor and the girl acted in Collusion? ” “ Not at all.
hvd.hxdnbh	Do you take me? ” The young man was dumbfounded.
hvd.hxdnbh	Do you understand that?
hvd.hxdnbh	Doctor Corman? ” interrogated Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	Elaine?
hvd.hxdnbh	Had he got weary of the Elaine Robertson mystery after the unforeseen intermezzo?
hvd.hxdnbh	Had she seen him?
hvd.hxdnbh	Had the police come already?
hvd.hxdnbh	Had the search for the girl in gray been totally aban- doned?
hvd.hxdnbh	Has Victor Dreyel got himself into a mess? ” “ EHe was murdered half- an- hour ago. ” said Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	Has any one touched him? ” The porter's wife denied having done so, and he advanced a step nearer to the body.
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you a match? ” “ How long will it take him to recover? ” said Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you a match? ” “ How long will it take him to recover? ” said Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you a time- table handy?
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you any advice to give? ” Ferlin turned crimson to the roots of his hair, gazed for a moment at Tom and said: “ Mr.
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you got him fast? ” “ Him?
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you got him fast? ” “ Him?
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you heard anything of the woman since you came down from the studio?
hvd.hxdnbh	Have you seen her?
hvd.hxdnbh	He is dead, but the same danger threatens you. ” “ The danger of being murdered, do you mean?
hvd.hxdnbh	He must have slipped out at the very moment the girl went to your door; perhaps he recognized her — who can tell?
hvd.hxdnbh	He shuddered at the bare thought and yet how could the situation be explained?
hvd.hxdnbh	He was beside himself at the awkwardness of the situa- tion and angrily inquired: “ How did you get here?
hvd.hxdnbh	How does that strike you? ” “ It sounds very likely, ” replied Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	How should I know?
hvd.hxdnbh	How was the affair going to end?
hvd.hxdnbh	I have already said I consider it remarkable. ” “ Just so, but did she tell us the truth?
hvd.hxdnbh	If so, might not the assassin, too, be on his way there?
hvd.hxdnbh	In a steady voice she at Once added: “ And if I refused to say anything? ” “ About whom? ” asked Wallion kindly.
hvd.hxdnbh	In a steady voice she at Once added: “ And if I refused to say anything? ” “ About whom? ” asked Wallion kindly.
hvd.hxdnbh	In what way, do you suppose, can the even numbers be of more value than the odd ones?
hvd.hxdnbh	Is that Aspe- land walking about up there? ” “ I think it must be, ” answered Tom feebly.
hvd.hxdnbh	Is that clear to you now?
hvd.hxdnbh	Is this one of Dixon's Summer ho- HOTEL “ GOLDEN SNARE ” 209 tels? ” asked Wallion in surprise.
hvd.hxdnbh	It came at once: “ Who Wants ‘ AlbatroSs2? ” “ Maurice Wallion, on board the ‘ Ariadne, ’ ” replied Moreland.
hvd.hxdnbh	It is the first door on the left; there you'll find the document as well as a list of the twelve. ” “ What twelve? ” broke in Wallion excitedly.
hvd.hxdnbh	It was Toroni, ” TRACK OF THE “ INVISIBLE ” ONE 93 “ What?
hvd.hxdnbh	May he not also have one of those ‘ likenesses'of the ‘ dead ’ which bring misfortune to the ‘ living'?
hvd.hxdnbh	Murner, I presume? ” The young man bowed slightly.
hvd.hxdnbh	My daughter has told me all about you and your friend. ” In a low and hopeless tone he added, “ But you have come too late. ” “ Too late?
hvd.hxdnbh	No?
hvd.hxdnbh	Now What more? ” “ Ferail inquired whether the ‘ goods ’ had come.
hvd.hxdnbh	Now listen, Toroni, would A “ WELCOME ” GIFT AT SEATTLE 165 it not be wiser to save yourself and the Govern- ment police a heap of trouble?
hvd.hxdnbh	Now what about the other figures?
hvd.hxdnbh	Now, may I request you to return to your cabin?
hvd.hxdnbh	On several oc- casions, having noticed that she seemed to look upon her brother with contempt, he said to him- self: “ What does she know?
hvd.hxdnbh	Pray, are you always so imprudent? ” “ Of course, life would be so monotonous other- wise. ” Dixon showed no sign of having heard this re- mark.
hvd.hxdnbh	R. ’ and William Robertson?
hvd.hxdnbh	R. ’? ” At the mention of the initials Christian Dreyel made a movement of surprise, leant for- ward and said; “ ‘ E.
hvd.hxdnbh	R. ” be, whom Dreyel was so anxious to re- ceive alone that evening?
hvd.hxdnbh	R.?
hvd.hxdnbh	R.?
hvd.hxdnbh	So this was Hurricane Island, and over there the “ Black Valley ”?
hvd.hxdnbh	Tell me, did you ever have it in your hands? ” Tom nodded.
hvd.hxdnbh	The nar- row- minded and proud relations who forced him to leave his native land are all gone. ” “ They forced him? ” interposed Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	The poor man, a prisoner rather than a patient, the object of their search — would he be able to answer the questions put to him?
hvd.hxdnbh	Then he went on deck, and Tom heard him shout: “ Are you there, Weston?
hvd.hxdnbh	They had been so near each other during the journey, and how was it going to be now?
hvd.hxdnbh	To me that seems a natural conclusion. ” “ And the Wooden doll? ” “ I confess that is an extraordinary detail, 54 NO.
hvd.hxdnbh	Tom accompanied MADAME LORRAINE'S SURPRISE 28?
hvd.hxdnbh	Tom took a seat by Elaine and asked: “ Are you not surprised to see us here? ” “ No, ” she said.
hvd.hxdnbh	Tom vouchsafing no answer, he resumed: “ Is our client ready to give information?
hvd.hxdnbh	Toroni has been dead more than fifteen years. ” “ Dead, you say?
hvd.hxdnbh	Turning to Tom, she asked eagerly: “ Is that so? ” He nodded assent and turned for confirma- tion to Wallion, who drew up a chair and joined them.
hvd.hxdnbh	Wallion, how do you do?
hvd.hxdnbh	Was another catastrophe about to happen?
hvd.hxdnbh	Was he again coming too late?
hvd.hxdnbh	Was it the act of a madman?
hvd.hxdnbh	Was it, Wallion? ” Tom moved impatiently.
hvd.hxdnbh	Well, what did she say? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hxdnbh	What Was he like? ” She made no answer.
hvd.hxdnbh	What Window? ” “ That one over there, ” said Wallion pointing to the One furthest from the door.
hvd.hxdnbh	What about that window there, does that look into the street? ” Tom drew a long breath.
hvd.hxdnbh	What are you going to do with him, Doctor? ” he asked, with a movement of his hand in the direction of Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	What are you making such a fuss about?
hvd.hxdnbh	What did he know?
hvd.hxdnbh	What do you wish me to do? ” “ That depends ”.
hvd.hxdnbh	What had he been going to say?
hvd.hxdnbh	What has happened?
hvd.hxdnbh	What has she to do with the wooden dolls? ” “ I got that doll from her.
hvd.hxdnbh	What is her object?
hvd.hxdnbh	What is this infernal secret you are carrying about with you?
hvd.hxdnbh	What might Dreyel be doing now?
hvd.hxdnbh	What should you say if I had you arrested on the spot and your four trunks containing ‘ antiques, ’ searched?
hvd.hxdnbh	What sort of place might that be?
hvd.hxdnbh	What was it that had really happened?
hvd.hxdnbh	What was it that so deeply engrossed their thoughts at this moment?
hvd.hxdnbh	What was the use of speculating when ELAINE ’S SECOND DISAPPEARANCE 201 Elaine might be on the road to renewed dangers?
hvd.hxdnbh	What would he have said if he had been here and seen the doctor drive away with her in his car?
hvd.hxdnbh	What?
hvd.hxdnbh	What?
hvd.hxdnbh	When may I count upon your visit to my Home? ” “ The sooner the better, ” replied Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	Where and how did it happen? ” Tom, in an incoherent manner, told him.
hvd.hxdnbh	Where does he hail from?
hvd.hxdnbh	Where had she sprung from?
hvd.hxdnbh	Where have you been?
hvd.hxdnbh	Where is Borne?
hvd.hxdnbh	Where is it? ” “ I can repeat it to you from memory, ” said Wallion evasively, at the same time doing so.
hvd.hxdnbh	Where is my daughter? ” ELAINE ’S SECOND DISAPPEARANCE 203 “ You must take things quietly now, ” said Wallion kindly.
hvd.hxdnbh	Where is your mysterious friend Dreyel? ” Tom stood as if turned to stone.
hvd.hxdnbh	Who are they?
hvd.hxdnbh	Who knows whether the solving of the mystery connected with those wooden dolls does, indeed, await us?
hvd.hxdnbh	Who might she be?
hvd.hxdnbh	Who on earth is this Doctor Corman, with his sar- castic, satanic countenance? ” said Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	Who was this girl who had claimed his hospitality in such an unaccountable manner?
hvd.hxdnbh	Who was “ Toroni, ” and what secret had he got to know?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why did not Robertson and the Dreyels go back again if it could be worked anew?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why do n’t you have me arrested now, eh? ” “ Have you arrested?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why do n’t you have me arrested now, eh? ” “ Have you arrested?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why had Wallion given in so quickly?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why not the same on this one?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why such profound silence up there?
hvd.hxdnbh	Why was Elaine not with her father?
hvd.hxdnbh	With a side glance at Toroni, Dixon said: “ Has a miracle happened?
hvd.hxdnbh	Would n’t it be better for him to go up- stairs at once?
hvd.hxdnbh	Would you describe the two wooden dolls also as antique Curios? ” Ferail had not moved, but he continued to stroke his beard.
hvd.hxdnbh	You can comfort her, ca n’t you? ” “ Poor little thing, ” said Madame Lorraine, “ I ’ll look after her.
hvd.hxdnbh	You know Maurice Wallion well, do n't you? ” Murner nodded, much surprised.
hvd.hxdnbh	You?
hvd.hxdnbh	Your girl in grey, the stranger?
hvd.hxdnbh	all? ” Darkness was gathering in the corners of the room and the golden light of the western sun had resolved itself into a narrow glowing band.
hvd.hxdnbh	and what does she expect?
hvd.hxdnbh	are you not afraid I might be an adventuress? ” she said in a scarcely audible Voice.
hvd.hxdnbh	at Seattle, or where? ” Ferail turned livid with anger, but he neither looked up nor spoke.
hvd.hxdnbh	awful “ Awful?
hvd.hxdnbh	but how are you off for food? ” Tom put on a woeful expression and Wallion grinned.
hvd.hxdnbh	but one day you got to know that he was a friend of Toroni ’s, did you not? ” 184 NO.
hvd.hxdnbh	but where? ” “ Lay her on the couch in the smoke- room, ” suggested Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	but why should not we two be frank With each other?
hvd.hxdnbh	did that plan fit in with Toroni ’s calcula- tions?
hvd.hxdnbh	he frightened me so. ” “ Who Was it?
hvd.hxdnbh	must have come from Robertson Must, did I say?
hvd.hxdnbh	or did he not?
hvd.hxdnbh	what age? ” “ About twenty. ” “ I do n't understand, ” murmured Christian Dreyel, sinking back in his chair.
hvd.hxdnbh	what do you intend to do with his daughter? ” That was a matter which had long occupied Tom ’s thoughts and now sent a shiver down his spine.
hvd.hxdnbh	where?
hvd.hxdnbh	why should I, though? ” she broke off with a smile.
hvd.hxdnbh	without result. ” “ Has he escaped again, then? ” asked Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	would a third be found at Christian Dreyel ’s?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ A wooden image? ” he added fixing his eyes on Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ After all what are we really here for?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ And how is our patient to- day? ” “ I ’ll go and see, ” she said, as she withdrew with even a broader smile.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ And what about Corman ’s asylum? ” “ It ’s quite correct that he is a medico, ” the Scotsman said, shrugging his shoulders.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ And who the duece is Mrs. Toby? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Are you aware that the skylight above the saloon is open? ” she asked.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Are you going? ” “ I promised Christian Dreyel I would do my best, ” replied Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Are you in Mr. Dixon's employ? ” “ I am, ” said the man, and yawned.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Are you referring to your father?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ As far as Seattle? ” he repeated in an en- tirely indifferent tone.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ At the end of the journey? ” repeated Tom, in a voice which shook with excitement.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ But about the girl, the murderess?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Can I speak to him at once? ” he said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Can I speak to the landlord? ” said Wallion, turning to the man, who stood there gaping.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Did Aspeland say anything more about the girl? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Did n't you leave the light on? ” Wallion asked, standing still.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Did you think I could not shake off that simpleton McTuft?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Do you know Mr. Wallion? ” the Chief finally inquired with a long, searching look at Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Do you know, ” he said, “ why Miss Elaine is in hiding here?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Do you mean that I shall be arrested the moment we arrive at Seattle? ” he said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Do you really know everything? ” he gasped.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Do you see him? ” he whispered.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Does my society bore you so much? ” “ No, oh no, I am glad; you have done far too much for me already, I can never.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Good evening, Aspeland, ” said Wallion, “ how are you? ” Aspeland turned quickly.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Hallo, what next?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Have n't you settled it yet, boys?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Have you brought him with you? ” 6- NO.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Have you heard what has happened to Maurice Wallion? ” he cried, whilst still on the threshold.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Have you really searched everywhere? ” she said with indifference.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ How can I thank you? ” she said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ How did your father know the ad- dresses of the two cousins? ” “ I believe he was in correspondence with an Information Bureau in Stockholm.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ How in the world did you get here? ” asked the latter, breathlessly.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ How long respite do you want? ” “ Twenty- four hours. ” Wallion lighted a cigar and attentively watched the Greek.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ I am delighted to see you have returned from the land of feverish dreams. ” He took a chair and continued, “ You know who I am, do n’t you?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ I knew you were on board. ” “ Do n’t you wonder what brought us here? ” “ Well, perhaps.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ I suppose it is useless to put any more ques- tions to you, Mr. Murner? ” said Dixon after a pause.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Is that all? ” asked Tom, when Wallion had finished; but with a curiously absent manner the journalist once more examined the satchel.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ It will afford me much pleasure to prove every word I have said, Captain Hawkins. ” “ How are you going to do that?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Now about Dixon himself, he got out here, did n't he?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Of course, but why should n’t it have been that one?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Quick, get in again, Mr. Wallion, and let us be after them. ” “ No, ” said Wallion, “ I stay here. ” “ What's that you say?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ She may be William Robertson's daughter, what of it?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Tell me, ” said Tom, leaning forward, “ how is it that you can speak Swedish and English equally well?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Then you do n’t believe me? ” she said in a low voice.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ This time? ” he said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Throw them overboard, ” he said abruptly; “ they are no longer wanted. ” “ Throw them overboard? ” retorted Dixon, re- proachfully.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ To go shares and dissolve partnership at once? ” laughed Dixon.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ To what do we owe the honor of a visit from you? ” Tom said with an effort.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Toroni? ” he repeated after a pause, “ Tor- oni.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Wallion, ” he said at last, “ do you believe the poor girl did it? ” “ Who?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Wallion, ” he said at last, “ do you believe the poor girl did it? ” “ Who?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Wallion? ” he whispered, wild with delight and relief.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Want to know anything more?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ We were bound to meet on the way, were we not? ” “ Of course, if one's destination happened to be the same, ” he replied.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Well, and what about the sister? ” inquired Wallion when McTuft had finished.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Well, what did he want?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Well, what is it? ” asked Dixon abruptly.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Well? ” growled the Doctor.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What are we waiting for? ” inquired Tom, at last.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What are you talking about? ” she said in a monotonous tone.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What could be easier than to make an in- quiry by wireless, requesting McTuft to prove our identity? ” 288 NO.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you intend to do? ” inquired his friend.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you mean? ” he said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you mean? ” inquired Corman, with some asperity.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you think it means? ” he asked eagerly.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you think of that? ” whispered Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you think of the conversation among our three fellow travelers? ” asked Wallion af- ter a pause.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What do you want here? ” he called out with- out turning round.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What does all this mean? ” asked Tom con- fusedly.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What has been going on?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What in the world did you do that for? ” cried Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What is all this delay about? ” he said sharply.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What is the meaning of it all? ” he said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What is your job here? ” he asked gruffly.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What things? ” said Tom, taken aback.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What was it you said? ” he asked hoarsely.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What's the use of asking me? ” he said.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What's the use of guessing?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ What's up now? ” said Dixon angrily.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Whatever are you doing there, Mr. Wallion? ” he asked with apparent interest.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Whatever is it? ” he thought.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Where are you? ” he cried.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Where is McTuft? ” asked Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Who can he be? ” “ Well, we must see.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Who fired? ” he asked quite confused.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Who frightened you? ” asked Tom.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Why do n’t you do something? ” Wallion vouchsafed no answer; he kept look- ing at the clock; it was getting dark.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Why do you wish to see Ferail run, as you said yesterday at dinner? ” 154 NO.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Will you render me a service, Murner? ” he said, “ I ca n’t quite explain, but I have had a wire which has put me into a damned hole.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Wo n't you tell me who you are? ” he contin- ued more gently.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Wo n’t you say once more what you said just now? ” he murmured, rather incoherently.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Would n’t it be rather amusing to see an antiquary run? ” he answered Quite seriously.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Would you like to view the corpse? ” he in- quired of Wallion.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Yes, when the porter's wife gave the alarm I forgot it and left it open, but now?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ You are silent?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ You are talking like an idiot; who said any- thing about the law?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ You do n’t know?
hvd.hxdnbh	“ You, too? ” he said, lamely.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ You? ” She cried.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ You? ” “ Yes, ” he replied, taking her hands, “ and you ca n’t turn me out now, ” he added, half in jest.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Your employer's car pulled up here a little while ago, did n't it? ” The man nodded.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ Your father sent you here, did he not? ” he said with emotion.
hvd.hxdnbh	“ ‘ The Problem Solver, ’ as sure as I am alive, ” he said awkwardly, “ however did you get here?
hvd.hn2ygt	'ihe other genelman do n't feel inclined to put his name to the cheque, too, does he?
hvd.hn2ygt	A divorce?
hvd.hn2ygt	A relation of the Colemans, per- haps?
hvd.hn2ygt	Am I to understand you as still refus- ing?
hvd.hn2ygt	And Grace?
hvd.hn2ygt	And I believe that Mr. Lagger's move- ments are equally unknown to you?
hvd.hn2ygt	And I suppose — hoping I do n't in- trude in asking — I suppose you ca n't afford to pay any one lor taking care of her?
hvd.hn2ygt	And I, too, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	And Lady Tremlett?
hvd.hn2ygt	And Mr. Francis Tremlett?
hvd.hn2ygt	And Pen — zance?
hvd.hn2ygt	And did you? hvd.hn2ygt And have fallen by his hand?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And have you been accepted?
hvd.hn2ygt	And have you walked all the way?
hvd.hn2ygt	And he told you —?
hvd.hn2ygt	And help him to rub his wings clean on the table- cloth?
hvd.hn2ygt	And how is he? hvd.hn2ygt And how is the poor gentleman, now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And how long after their departure from Ipswich was it that you heard your sister Susan had gone to live at Mangerton Chase?
hvd.hn2ygt	And if I fail in my search for the missing leaf?
hvd.hn2ygt	And if he directed you to this place, whatever or wherever it may be, would anything happen prejudicially to one of our faith?
hvd.hn2ygt	And if he has not, shall you go on without him?
hvd.hn2ygt	And now,he said,"shall I tell his wor- ship why them laborers came a- rushin'up?
hvd.hn2ygt	And pray where do you think you are going in this unceremonious and highly reprehensible manner?
hvd.hn2ygt	And since that time he has been travel- ling abroad?
hvd.hn2ygt	And so we really were successful in finding you a comfortable room, my dear Mrs. Spraggle? hvd.hn2ygt And so you are going to shoot to- mor- row?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And still on the table cloth?
hvd.hn2ygt	And the numbers — the numbers?
hvd.hn2ygt	And the room in which this panel is — where is that?
hvd.hn2ygt	And the walls?
hvd.hn2ygt	And this brother of yours, of whom you were speaking some time ago, of course he will be there to welcome you?
hvd.hn2ygt	And we can find out all this at the church?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what am I to send it up in, my dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what did you please to want with me?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what is to become of Bill Grant?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what was the opinion, Mr. Sprag- gle, that, after careful consideration, I ar- rived at?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what, in the name of fortune, do they charge against me?
hvd.hn2ygt	And where has she gone now?
hvd.hn2ygt	And who's an executor de son tort in the name of wonder?
hvd.hn2ygt	And wo n't he give me any of that stuff as does me good without?
hvd.hn2ygt	And yet you have done so?
hvd.hn2ygt	And yet you noticed the dates in the other parts?
hvd.hn2ygt	And yet you suspect Sir George Trem- lett of being the murderer of John Bran- dron?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you did not ask him?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you do n't know anybody that is — down Westborough way?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you do n't know how he come to send his wife to Mangerton Chase?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you have told me all that I have divulged and you suspect?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you were driving in the road?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you will not?
hvd.hn2ygt	And you will very soon return, Stevie, wo n't you? hvd.hn2ygt And you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Anything discovered about poor Bran- dron?
hvd.hn2ygt	Anything else remarkable?
hvd.hn2ygt	Anything pass, mamma?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are my wishes never to be consulted, Francis? hvd.hn2ygt Are they gone — all gone?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you a widow, Mrs. Spence?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you in earnest?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you mad?
hvd.hn2ygt	At any rate, you found the papers just produced exactly where he told you they would be?
hvd.hn2ygt	Ay, it is; what do you think of it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Before I answer that question,said Stephen,"you must tell me what brought you to Tremlett Towers, and why you entered that room?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But I can not understand — I do not see Did you read the papers found in Mangerton Chase?
hvd.hn2ygt	But did you not hear how Sir George accounted for it?
hvd.hn2ygt	But have I said anything — anything that you could understand?
hvd.hn2ygt	But he is a relation of the Dean; and what has he done?
hvd.hn2ygt	But how did he know where the origi- nal was to be found?
hvd.hn2ygt	But how, man? hvd.hn2ygt But my leave, — mv papers, — my debts?
hvd.hn2ygt	But not with Champneys?
hvd.hn2ygt	But suppose Stevie were to go there?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what fib did you tell, dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what have you dis- covered respecting this suspicious per- son named Riley?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what on earth is he to do if he be de- prived of a home? hvd.hn2ygt But where did you find me, and when?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But where did you find me? hvd.hn2ygt But where?
hvd.hn2ygt	But why, Mr. Torrington? — why?
hvd.hn2ygt	But why, Mr. Torrington? — why?
hvd.hn2ygt	But you forgive me — say you forgive me, Stevie?
hvd.hn2ygt	But you have not walked from Derbyshire this afternoon, surely?
hvd.hn2ygt	But you saw it when it was open?
hvd.hn2ygt	Ca n't you tell me where the clergy- man lives? hvd.hn2ygt Can it be possible?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Can not you guess?
hvd.hn2ygt	Can you not wait till I go, and accompany me?
hvd.hn2ygt	Consulted you? hvd.hn2ygt Could he have been her father?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Cuddy, how can I show you my gratitude?
hvd.hn2ygt	Cut down, my love?
hvd.hn2ygt	Dead?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did I mention names?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did anything disturb you, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did he go in there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did he mention his name?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did not what, dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did others hear all this?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did they know who the other gentle- man was?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you come to tell me so, my love?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you ever fish a fly out of your cream- pot?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you find them there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you hear anything, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you see him when you were there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you, dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do I understand you to hint, Miss Lee,inquired Stephen gravely,"that any one has dared to — to?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do n't you see she's daft?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do not say they,was her reply;"B down my tree?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you believe it was a tree scraping against the wall, that made the noise last night?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you know Durmstone?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you know Manchester?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you know him, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you know that Khoda has been here twice this week, evidently to see her? hvd.hn2ygt Do you know where he is now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you know where they went from thence?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you like India, then? hvd.hn2ygt Do you mean where the child's father took her?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you mind me writing to Mrs. Cole- man to ask the girls and Miss Lee to come and help me to make the arrangement?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you really think it a trifle?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you remember,he asked,"that day when we came back from church, through Collyer's farm, when I found that my old tree was gone?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you suppose that Grace wants to hear about your Johnsons and Thompsons?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you think he would come back?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you think it right to obstruct the course of justice?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do?
hvd.hn2ygt	Does it really?
hvd.hn2ygt	Does my father know you are going?
hvd.hn2ygt	Exactly where he told you they would be?
hvd.hn2ygt	For me? hvd.hn2ygt Four days ago?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Frank has been saying something to you about me?
hvd.hn2ygt	From O'Hara?
hvd.hn2ygt	From whence did it proceed?
hvd.hn2ygt	From whom?
hvd.hn2ygt	Gerty, Gerty,it said, in a low voice,"are you awake, dear Gerty?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Go to the workhouse, I suppose you mean?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had he good news?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had you then those suspicions of your father?
hvd.hn2ygt	Has any one else told you? hvd.hn2ygt Has he ever written to you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Has n't she got any friends in London who would take care of her whilst you were away?
hvd.hn2ygt	Has not Mrs. Riley left any money, then, papa?
hvd.hn2ygt	Has the late incumbent resigned?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have n't Master Hillyard told'e then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have n't you, really?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you brought me anything to eat?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you brought the papers you were subpoenaed to produce, Captain Frankland?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you ever been in it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you ever had a presentiment of evil, Frankland?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you heard of Richard's good luck? hvd.hn2ygt Have you no respect — no pity?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you not received my telegram, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you not told him?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you seen him, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	His loving you only a little?
hvd.hn2ygt	His surname?
hvd.hn2ygt	How came it — he asked himself in vain — that he felt so anxious to keep his fath- er's name out of the case? hvd.hn2ygt How can I possibly say,"replied the astute damsel,"unless I know why he went?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How can I possibly say?
hvd.hn2ygt	How can I?
hvd.hn2ygt	How can you possibly know that?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do we get there?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know I was there?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know he has not got a friend to share it with?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know that the person you saw was his lordship?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know?
hvd.hn2ygt	How is it that you speak entirely of your half- brother?
hvd.hn2ygt	How long shall we be before we sight Perim?
hvd.hn2ygt	How long will you be before you get to your bitter beer? hvd.hn2ygt How should I?
hvd.hn2ygt	How wretchedly ill you look,she added, half to herself:"has your wound been very painful?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I am afraid the light has dazzled you; shall I draw the curtain?
hvd.hn2ygt	I am most unfortunate in my ques- tions,Frankland rejoined;"but you can not think that I would intentionally touch upon what would give you pain?
hvd.hn2ygt	I did, — I do; but what of her?
hvd.hn2ygt	I have only now to request, as I can not get the information from her, that you will be so obliging as to direct me to Mangerton Chase? hvd.hn2ygt I mean, where do your friends re- side?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I say, Gracey,demanded Master Bobby, confidentially sliding up to her, and giving her a dig with his elbow,"has Ma been rowing you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I thought he was coming from the wood?
hvd.hn2ygt	I thought you knew?
hvd.hn2ygt	I will do anything and everything for you; only tell me of whom do you speak?
hvd.hn2ygt	I will; I promise you on my word, as a soldier and a man, that I will; only tell me where are they? hvd.hn2ygt I — no — have I?
hvd.hn2ygt	If I only knew what would hap- pen then?
hvd.hn2ygt	If ye did find him out, would it be to his detriment?
hvd.hn2ygt	If you'd'a kept out of the way, Jim,explained Mr. Lagger,"they'd'a sed,'Where's Jim Riley?'
hvd.hn2ygt	If you're the Missis Wantley as I'm a seeking for, you've got a son called Bob, leastwise, Robert Wantley?
hvd.hn2ygt	In God's name, what has happened?
hvd.hn2ygt	In Heaven's name, why?
hvd.hn2ygt	In Heaven's name, why?
hvd.hn2ygt	In her room?
hvd.hn2ygt	In notes or gold, mother?
hvd.hn2ygt	In the town?
hvd.hn2ygt	In this county?
hvd.hn2ygt	Indeed,rejoined the Captain;"and the name of this wonder?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is all discovered?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is anything wrong, Miss Treherne?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is he in the Indian army?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is he still living?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is it evening yet?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is it not written, that the sins of the fathers shall be visited on the children?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is it possible,he thought,"that I have been drugged?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is it really, my love? hvd.hn2ygt Is she quite imbecile?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is that all? hvd.hn2ygt Is that far from here?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is that the ghost?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is that your own case?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is there a room up there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is there anything I can do for you?
hvd.hn2ygt	It was certainly very sultry,mused the metaphysician;"but are you quite sure, my dear Augustus, that you were not misled by fancy?
hvd.hn2ygt	It was not a bribe, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Let me call lillyard?
hvd.hn2ygt	May I ask in what her'queerness'consists?
hvd.hn2ygt	May I ask in what regiment?
hvd.hn2ygt	May I ask in what year he filled this?
hvd.hn2ygt	May I ask,he said,"if your appointment was with a gentleman from India, named Brandron?"
hvd.hn2ygt	May I say, Grace dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	Maybe he is a foreigner?
hvd.hn2ygt	Maybe, then, you are one of those who led my poor lad into crime and mis- ery?
hvd.hn2ygt	Murder? hvd.hn2ygt My dear, I understood that he left the message with you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	My dear,expostulated the poor Pro- fessor,"did I say I wanted it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	My love,said Lady Tremlett, ad- dressing her husband, who had just come up from fussing over Stephen's luggage,"where's Francis?"
hvd.hn2ygt	My love?
hvd.hn2ygt	My own darling Gracie, are you bet- ter?
hvd.hn2ygt	Never heard tell of a gentleman named Brandron, I dare say?
hvd.hn2ygt	Never heard tell of him?
hvd.hn2ygt	Not VOr with some public department?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Not a little, — little bit?
hvd.hn2ygt	Not behind the tapestry under the skirting boards?
hvd.hn2ygt	Not even the name of that family?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now I should n't won- der if you'd got some friends down in Kent?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now do you see,Stephen continued,"how fearfully strong a chain of evidence can be — perhaps already is — forged against my wretched father?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now some wine?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, Sir, I venture to ask you plainly, did he make any accusation against Lord Rossthorne?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, is there not a deep valley there, between the road and the wood?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, tell me truth, Laura; did anything pass between you and Steeve before he went to India?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, what were you going to say, you bad, wicked boy?
hvd.hn2ygt	Of what Presidency?
hvd.hn2ygt	Of what description?
hvd.hn2ygt	Of what?
hvd.hn2ygt	Oh, Grace, what have you heard against Captain Frankland?
hvd.hn2ygt	Oh, Mr. Brandron said so, did he?
hvd.hn2ygt	Or even read of him? hvd.hn2ygt Or from either of the two other paths?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Or where is Mangerton Chase, in which they lived?
hvd.hn2ygt	Or you to him?
hvd.hn2ygt	Perhaps they have only left for the day?
hvd.hn2ygt	Perhaps you do n't live about here?
hvd.hn2ygt	Playing the eavesdropper,replied Stevie, coloring,"what do you mean?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Please tell me which is the way to Kernden?
hvd.hn2ygt	Please tell me?
hvd.hn2ygt	Pr'aps you're a going to lend him the money?
hvd.hn2ygt	Really?
hvd.hn2ygt	Resigned? hvd.hn2ygt Revelation?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I break open the door?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I go up to him, drop a curtsey, and say,'Please, Sir, give me your confi- dence'?
hvd.hn2ygt	She has refused you, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	She might have written to some of her relations unknown to you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shelmordine's, then, is 55?
hvd.hn2ygt	Stevie, with all her faults, you loved your stepmother?
hvd.hn2ygt	Stevie, you know my position here?
hvd.hn2ygt	Surely, if, as I gather from what you have just said, her going there gave you offence, you must be able to tell where she went?
hvd.hn2ygt	Tell me one thing at once, and quick- ly,said Stephen;"Where did this hap- pen — where was he found?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Tell me one thing though,said Ste- phen, with a smile;"is it up there that you keep the ghost?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Tell me what you remember of the appearance of the chamber?
hvd.hn2ygt	Tell me,he said,"what we were speaking of before I sent for my desk and papers?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Tell me,he said,"who it is who holds the packet, and was about to place it in the cabinet when you prevented her?"
hvd.hn2ygt	That goose of a Maud Treherne, what does she mean by writing so much about him?
hvd.hn2ygt	The dear old governor is awfully super- stitious, is n't he?
hvd.hn2ygt	The first bell has not rung yet,said Stevie, as soon as the visitor was out of hearing;"will you walk a little way with me, now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Then all you can really say is, that you saw him mounting the slope?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then he does know?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then he is not so thorough a rascal, after all?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then he lives in England?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then how do you ac- count for the gap in the numbers?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then please show me the way to Kernden Rectory?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then tell me what it was like?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then what have you been crying for?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then who is it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then who made you — their son — a judge between them?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then why did he not have the tree cut down?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then why did he take me into that villanous old musty hall? hvd.hn2ygt Then why do n't you see him properly provided for?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Then why do not you take yours?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then will you be good enough to give me the address of your sister?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you are determined to go?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you are going shooting?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you are not quite certain, my love?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you do love her?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you do n't mind being left?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you will know Mr. Coleman, of Ruxton Court?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then you'll put off going out till the third?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then, why this flying visit?
hvd.hn2ygt	There appeared a long account of the inquest in this case in most of the London papers, I think?
hvd.hn2ygt	There is no truth, then, in his story that he has been unjustly condemned?
hvd.hn2ygt	Thus pretending not to care about what everybody likes?
hvd.hn2ygt	To beard the knife- grinder in his den, — the Riley in his hall? hvd.hn2ygt Was he screwed, then?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Was he sensible?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was it a very valua- ble one?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was the Lucy Alston whom you have mentioned ever in the service of the Penruthyns?
hvd.hn2ygt	We have been married, if I am not incorrect, Mr. Spraggle, for eleven years?
hvd.hn2ygt	We should quarrel dreadfully if they did,replied Stevie with a gayety he did not feel;"but why do you say so now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, if you should be passing there and want work — But what are you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, my dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, that's no reason why he should take it all, Cousin Cuthbert, is it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, then, did Brandron direct you to find any other papers relative to the subject of those already in evidence?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, when I saw it — I mind it well"One moment; was it shut up then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, — what then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well,said Stephen, smiling,"I did not expect""Did not expect what?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Well?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well?
hvd.hn2ygt	Were you aware that certain papers bearing upon business of his were hidden in your house, — I mean Mangerton Chase that was?
hvd.hn2ygt	Were you, or were you not, aware that Captain Frankland was expected with Mr. Lindsay? hvd.hn2ygt What I de- duce from them there letters is — but where's the marriage certificate you had in your hand last night when I came in up yonder?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What Ste Captain Frankland, I mean, awkward?
hvd.hn2ygt	What are these men doing here?
hvd.hn2ygt	What business have you to think? hvd.hn2ygt What can she be doing?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What could I do? hvd.hn2ygt What did he find?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What do I think of Captain Frankland now?
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you know about Adam more than you hear in church, or Mr. Tremlett either?
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you know about shooting?
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you know about the murder of John Brandron?
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you mean by'Not exactly?' hvd.hn2ygt What do you mean?
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you mean?
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you mean?
hvd.hn2ygt	What else am I to do?
hvd.hn2ygt	What for, dearie?
hvd.hn2ygt	What for? hvd.hn2ygt What has he done?
hvd.hn2ygt	What house?
hvd.hn2ygt	What is it, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	What is it?
hvd.hn2ygt	What of him? hvd.hn2ygt What on earth else should I be going to do on the'first of September?'"
hvd.hn2ygt	What on earth is the meaning of this?
hvd.hn2ygt	What sort of a gentleman was the other gentleman?
hvd.hn2ygt	What time are you to call for your friend at Westborough, Steeve?
hvd.hn2ygt	What time does young Wantley get there in the morning?
hvd.hn2ygt	What was it, then? hvd.hn2ygt What was it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What was?
hvd.hn2ygt	What would you advise me to do?
hvd.hn2ygt	What would you have me do?
hvd.hn2ygt	What's disgraceful?
hvd.hn2ygt	What's in a name? hvd.hn2ygt What, in the dark?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What, proposed for her?
hvd.hn2ygt	What? hvd.hn2ygt When and where did you see her last?"
hvd.hn2ygt	When did you go abroad?
hvd.hn2ygt	When was it that you first informed the police that you could give the evi- dence we have just heard from your dep- osition?
hvd.hn2ygt	When was it? hvd.hn2ygt When you found that she returned your love, did you resolve to deserve it all your life?
hvd.hn2ygt	When you've quite done talking non- sense, Cuthbert, perhaps you'll hand me the bread?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where all that old tapestry hangs?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where are the entries of marriages which took place in the mean time?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where are they?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where did you put them? hvd.hn2ygt Where is Captain Frankland?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Where there are two heaps of stones?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where was that?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where were you to find them?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where will you go then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where's Grace?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where's that, Sir?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where?
hvd.hn2ygt	Whereabouts were you in the road when you first saw him?
hvd.hn2ygt	Which is the nearest station where there is one?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who am I,he re- plied,"that I should be so particular?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who do you mean?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who have only just come in?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who is he?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who is he?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who said they were not, my love?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who the dickins is she?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who was that, if I may ask?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who, and what, is he?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why am I here?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why did you not get up and see what was making it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why do n't you give yourself up, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why do you ask?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why do you speak to me thus now? hvd.hn2ygt Why not?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why not?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why should you doubt it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why should you go out to be broiled to death again?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why so cross, dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why was that, if I might make bold to ask?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why, George, how can you be so absurd? hvd.hn2ygt Why, do n't you know that Mr. Tre- herne is my uncle?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why, do n't you know what has hap- pened?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why, what can be keeping dinner?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why, where is our strong- minded Grace, who used to profess such contempt for finery, and all the van- ities?'
hvd.hn2ygt	Why?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will I come to your cousin's ball? hvd.hn2ygt Will he be away long?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will he die?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will my Bob be tried again?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will not these letters help to disclose what you wish me to know?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you come?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you enable me to see some of your connections to ask?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you leave it all to me then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you lend me a horse to carry me there, and not mind my riding him hard?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you tell me under what circum- stances?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you tell me where you lived when your sisters left home?
hvd.hn2ygt	Would n't it be better to engage a private room in the hotel?
hvd.hn2ygt	Yes'"Do you wish to speak respecting the mur respecting what has happened to you?
hvd.hn2ygt	You ai n't repented having trusted me, Captain Frankland, eh?
hvd.hn2ygt	You are connected with the law?
hvd.hn2ygt	You are sure that I mentioned no names?
hvd.hn2ygt	You clever little thing, what is it?
hvd.hn2ygt	You considered it impossible, I dare say,asked Markham,"that a man like Lord Rossthorne could have any part in such a crime?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You could?
hvd.hn2ygt	You did not see him in the wood?
hvd.hn2ygt	You do n't mean to say that you do n't know?
hvd.hn2ygt	You do not want to be friends with me any longer then?
hvd.hn2ygt	You have a reason for declining, I suppose?
hvd.hn2ygt	You have never spoken to her of love?
hvd.hn2ygt	You have sent for me,she said, wav- ing aside the proffered seat;"what do you want?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You have traced them, then?
hvd.hn2ygt	You remember that person who called himself Colonel Vincent Champ- neys?
hvd.hn2ygt	You require comforting?
hvd.hn2ygt	You seem to have settled everything to your satisfaction?
hvd.hn2ygt	You tell me that you are going to England to do an act of justice? hvd.hn2ygt You think she is dead, then?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You very strange child, why?
hvd.hn2ygt	You will go straight through France, I suppose?
hvd.hn2ygt	You'd better,said the unrelenting Lagger;"but where are we now?
hvd.hn2ygt	You've been precious hard upon that young fellow, Sam Lagger, — precious hard,he mused, as he passed along;"but what are you to do?
hvd.hn2ygt	You've found out what you wanted then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Your sister lived there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Your tree?
hvd.hn2ygt	flow so, when there is the register?
hvd.hn2ygt	'1 Captain Frankland, I presume?"
hvd.hn2ygt	15 leasing himself from her grasp;"but if you know this gentleman, as you seem to do,* surely you can tell me whereabout he lives?"
hvd.hn2ygt	151 yoji can make in- quiries without suspicion agin you, having already took to meddlin'with the books?
hvd.hn2ygt	203"What was it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	51 to imprison it, and would hunt you like a felon at the last?
hvd.hn2ygt	97 your reception here?
hvd.hn2ygt	; it's about as far from Manches- ter as it is from Pen — zance, and you go there by railway; now you know, do n't you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	All that about the breech loader was a kind pretext to put me off my intended sport to- mor- row?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Am I not correct in suppos- ing that you have a sister named Susan, who once — long ago — lived at Mangerton Chase?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Am I to suppose that this invitation is meant as a sort of peace- offering from your family?
hvd.hn2ygt	And did you hear all we said after- wards?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And do you think the work has been left incomplete?
hvd.hn2ygt	And how did Mr. Tremlett behave?
hvd.hn2ygt	And how's the family, Mrs. W.?
hvd.hn2ygt	And if there be joy in heaven over one sinner that repentctli, shall no delight be expressed on earth, my brothers?
hvd.hn2ygt	And so you still preserve that faded bouquet?
hvd.hn2ygt	And this is, that she became silent and — must it be said?
hvd.hn2ygt	And truly how many ghosts there are which can be laid by a blue pill?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what did other people say?
hvd.hn2ygt	And what splen- did weather for the harvest, eh?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And where's brother Jim?"
hvd.hn2ygt	And who danced with her all night at the Mansion House?
hvd.hn2ygt	And who, by some curious coincidence, was entering the gate at Chiswick just as Mrs. Coleman and her young charge drove up?
hvd.hn2ygt	And why did she do this?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are all the missing people who are advertised about in the second column of the Times cheats, and runaways, and ne'er- do- wells?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are the arrangements thus elegantly enunciated agreeable to the persons interested?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are there not two path- ways, right and left, at the bottom of that valley, as well as the one straight on, which leads past the church into the wood?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are ye quite sure ye'll not take a glass of toddy, or anything else?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you ill?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you mad, Grace?
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you one of the men who got off?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Are you troubled with rats here, Sir George?"
hvd.hn2ygt	At a certain period of its enjoyment, what would he have given to Bill not to have had it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Ay, where was brother Jim?
hvd.hn2ygt	Be in peace where nobody knows you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Besides, after all, what could it matter?
hvd.hn2ygt	Bless me, why did n't you write?
hvd.hn2ygt	Brandron started from the state of trance in which he had answered the previous questions, and with flashing eyes cried —"Who dares deny it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Brandron?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But how came Grace to Kern- den?
hvd.hn2ygt	But how came he to have the opportu- nity of thus distressing his worthy parent?
hvd.hn2ygt	But how on earth has the news reached you?
hvd.hn2ygt	But how was Stephen to com- mence these inquiries — and where?
hvd.hn2ygt	But if I was to go to see him, do you think they would let ine in?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But oh, Stevie! — may I call you Stevie just for a little time?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But tell me now, first of all, what's his surname?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But tell me, how is he now?
hvd.hn2ygt	But then, was he not named after the Regent?
hvd.hn2ygt	But to what do you al- lude?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But what brings the Captain to her, and what's Mangerton Chase to him?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what can I do?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what did he say?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But what had become of their owner?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what in the name of wonder brings you this way?
hvd.hn2ygt	But what is the use of my going through link after link, when I tell you that he has con- fessed his guilt?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But what is to be done?
hvd.hn2ygt	But where was the stone?
hvd.hn2ygt	But where's Frank?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But who is that dreadful- looking old fellow up there?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But whose was the power to keep the deadly fever they had produced within their bounds?
hvd.hn2ygt	But, oh, Cuddy, do let me explain all after- wards, and tell me now, how is she — how is Grace?"
hvd.hn2ygt	But, oh, dear Mrs. Coleman, what will people say?
hvd.hn2ygt	By whom, or what, in the name of wonder?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Can I assist you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Can I do any- thing for you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Can he suspect?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Can it be that it is too late?
hvd.hn2ygt	Can you give me no clue to it — no clue to any one who may know it, or the name of its owner?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Can you realize how I must love and honor those who have loved and honored my child in spite of the dark stain that I have cast upon her birth?
hvd.hn2ygt	Can you spare me a little time, or are you going to be busy this morning?
hvd.hn2ygt	Can you wonder now that I fled the house?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Captain Stevenson opened his mouth and raised his eyelids, and so made those expressive features reply —"Who the deuce, then, is he?"
hvd.hn2ygt	D'ye mind?
hvd.hn2ygt	D'ye understand?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Dear ladies, was I wrong in taking the general public into the sanctum of those young girls, and playing the eaves- dropper as I have done?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did I not tell you how it would end?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did I not tell you that I had a presentiment of what would happen?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did I speak of the of what had happened to me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Did he make anything like a proposal, or had you reason to think he would propose when he returned?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Did he mention my name at all?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did he not have preserved and stuffed the two unfortunate partridges who fell victims to his boy's precocious skill?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did he say any- thing to you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did not Sir George say so?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you find Angelina less agreeable than usual at that period of the evening?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you go there to see him?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you love her yesterday?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you not read it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you notice the look she gave me when I asked the doctor if I was not dying?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you resolve to give her all your heart in return, and to keep it always hers?
hvd.hn2ygt	Did you write?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Dis- appearance?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do I address Miss Alston?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do n't you know Mr. Tre- herne?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do n't you remember how exquisitely she decorated the church last Christmas?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do n't you see how she clings to everything as- sociated with him?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do n't you see there's some one at the door?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do n't you see?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you imagine that we should leave you in these chambers alone with the sil- ver spoons?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you know what it is to have received a wound which you have not nerve enough to look at?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you not care to remain in your own country as long as you can?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you not know that sort of dreamy preoccupation which sometimes steals over one when alone with a person dreamily preoc- cupied?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you remember giving it to me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you suppose that little Maud and I have not noticed you start, and turn pale, and trem- ble, when it has rustled past you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you suppose that we are all deaf and dumb and blind down in Kent here?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you suppose, gentle- men, that you have all the talk to your- selves, in your club windows and smoking- rooms?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you think he turned out to be a hypocrite, and came to a bad end?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you think he will ever come back?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you think he will take his poor victim there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you think that any woman who loved her husband would let him feel that he was dependent upon her bounty for his daily bread?
hvd.hn2ygt	Do you understand me?
hvd.hn2ygt	Does it invest in gorgeous foil for the armor of its favor- ite knights?
hvd.hn2ygt	Does it sigh for a silver cim- eter, valued at the unrealizable sum of sixpence, to place in the doughty hand of the Conqueror of Bajazet?
hvd.hn2ygt	Father, can you forgive me?
hvd.hn2ygt	First of all,"Gerty commenced,"tell me; you have no sister?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Get- ting on middling, eh?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Give me more of that drink?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Grace had a manner of saying"How dare you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Grace turned round upon him sharply and demanded —"What has that — what has Mr. Trem- lett been doing now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Grace?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Guilty of what?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had Captain Frankland left it at the station?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had he been dreaming?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had not he( Brandron) prophesied that they would be so glad of his visit, — have so much to ask him; and had not his words proved true?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had not the poor creature's brother brought good news of Bob?
hvd.hn2ygt	Had"mamma's"goodnature departed?
hvd.hn2ygt	Has she told aught to any one else?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Has the time yet come when the words may be blotted out?
hvd.hn2ygt	Has the youth of the present day lost the taste lor gorgeous illustrations which distinguished some of its fathers?
hvd.hn2ygt	Has your bricklayer never come for orders in what was once a black satin waistcoat?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have I hurt you?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have I not been punished enough?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Have I not said that if I am"wanted"I should dine at Simpson's and take lodgings in Regent Street upon the reasoning before stated?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have I not told you that I have been away twenty years?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have n't you ever heard tell of the Honorable Horace Pen- ruthyn?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Have n't you got a ghost story to match?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Have we now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you ever had a question trembling on your lips which you would give the world to have answered, but dared not ask?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you ever met with a serious acci- dent in a foreign country, or felt some illness creeping over you when amongst strangers?
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you got any money?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Have you searched for him?
hvd.hn2ygt	He can not have a deliberate intention to wound either of us — why should he?"
hvd.hn2ygt	He com- mit a murder?
hvd.hn2ygt	He does love you, Gracey?"
hvd.hn2ygt	He forced a laugh, and replied, —-"What possible interest can I have in making out that he was in one place more than another?
hvd.hn2ygt	He looked him full in the face, and asked where he had been all yesterday?
hvd.hn2ygt	He's just the man to fancy a clever girl like you, and, — and you're my own dearest friend; but you do n't love him the least bit, Gracey, dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	His movements upon leaving this were very unsettled; do you wish me to follow them?
hvd.hn2ygt	His time's pretty nigh up now, is n't it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How about these here papers, have you got them with you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How came that?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How can you go near her?
hvd.hn2ygt	How can you suppose that I could do such a thing?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How comes it that small children of this class can not be run over?
hvd.hn2ygt	How could I?
hvd.hn2ygt	How could I?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How could it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How could those papers prove that?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How dare you detain me thus, when I wish to leave?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How dare you sit there and smile, you wicked girl, like that?
hvd.hn2ygt	How dare you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How did he get that blow on the head which he makes such a fuss about?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How did you sleep?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you feel yourself to- night — picking up your crumbs, eh?
hvd.hn2ygt	How do you know?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How else shall I ever find it?
hvd.hn2ygt	How is it that I am here?
hvd.hn2ygt	How is it, that people who serve you with eatables and drinkables always regard you with such sovereign contempt?
hvd.hn2ygt	How is my poor boy?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How long will this business, whatever it is, occupy you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How many entries was there in the last one for this month of June, 1835?"
hvd.hn2ygt	How much more am I bound to quit it now?
hvd.hn2ygt	How on earth should it?
hvd.hn2ygt	How open the sub- ject?
hvd.hn2ygt	How should it?
hvd.hn2ygt	How should they?
hvd.hn2ygt	How the deuce, though, did he get hold of that name?
hvd.hn2ygt	I am so agi- tated — so confounded by what you say, that — that But if his secret rests with you, how can he be in danger now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I ax you agin, — you ai n't re- pented having trusted me, eh?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I do n't know if I'm intruding, Sir; but was you one of the family?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I have not been de- lirious yet, Stephen?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I have read, —( who has not?)
hvd.hn2ygt	I mean where?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I think we both mean the same spot — just about twenty yards short of the milestone?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I thought — Maud said Gertrude wanted me — and — and-""Then you heard what followed?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I told you yesterday that mother wo n't give me any more, and —""Why the hell do n't you steal some then?"
hvd.hn2ygt	I warned you — if you remember?
hvd.hn2ygt	I wonder how that there young gal got along with her second- hand article?
hvd.hn2ygt	I wonder if her relations could have told me anything?
hvd.hn2ygt	I wonder what it is?
hvd.hn2ygt	If I had thought that you, — you, he had been warned?
hvd.hn2ygt	If so — how?
hvd.hn2ygt	If you do not love him, why should n't I?"
hvd.hn2ygt	If you have, did not a wild yearning seize you to hurry home, in spite of all assurances that you would be safer and better tended where you were?
hvd.hn2ygt	If you please, may the gal sit down?
hvd.hn2ygt	In the mean while, what had the little great world down in Derbyshire to say about him?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is a felon's blood pure and unstained?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is he a spy?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is he awake yet?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is he well?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is he?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is her husband alive?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is it pos- sible to overtake — to save her?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is it too bright for you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is n't it, Grace?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is that not so, Mr. Torring- ton?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is that you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is there an electric tele- graph, my Lord, at your station?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Is there any thing disgraceful in that?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is this real?
hvd.hn2ygt	Is this your gun?"
hvd.hn2ygt	It is a very disagreeable subject — why not let it drop?"
hvd.hn2ygt	It is easy to hide a lighted candle from a blind man; but is it easy to hide a lighted candle?
hvd.hn2ygt	It was still on the high road and the top of the hill?
hvd.hn2ygt	It's been an awful bore for you, of course?
hvd.hn2ygt	Just begin at the begin- ning, will you, Sir?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Knowing what you now know, will you quit this house?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Lady, had agreed to walk home from church, sister Su vased by this except Mr. across the fields, accompanied by a goodly Chase?
hvd.hn2ygt	Lagger?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Let me take'em down again, Sir; and you have your dinner in the parlor?
hvd.hn2ygt	May I ask in what part of England is your home?"
hvd.hn2ygt	May I come in?"
hvd.hn2ygt	May I go on?
hvd.hn2ygt	May I see those papers?"
hvd.hn2ygt	May I speak to dear Charley's friend as I would have spoken to dear Charley himself, if God had spared him to us?"
hvd.hn2ygt	May n't I ride Spot?"
hvd.hn2ygt	May we speak now as equals?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Nature was altogether wrong, was n't she?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now tell me exactly where they are?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, did you not say in one of your letters, when you first went to live with the Colemans, that that was the old name for Tremlett Towers?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, do'e let me lay it out?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, tell me how you found all at home?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, what shall we do?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, what were they to do — what were gentlemen of the county of Derby to do, when one of these men returned full of honors to his home?
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, which turning am I to take?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Now, will you promise me, — will you gentlemen promise me, — not to touch this very old, and ha, — ha, — ha, — very dusty tapestry?
hvd.hn2ygt	O'Hara?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Of spending the happiest hours of my life in the company of the best, the most beautiful, and the dearest of little wives?
hvd.hn2ygt	Oh, Mr. Tremlett, tell us what Presidency does Captain Frankland belong to?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Oh, Williams,"she said to the servant, as he entered with some dish,"have you called Captain Frankland?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Perhaps it had not stood there then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Perhaps you can tell me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Please to give me some more of that drink, which strengthens me, and then leave me with my friend?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Regularly?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Rhoda, what do you say?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Safe?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I go and rouse your servant?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I open the drawer?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I stay at home?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I tell thee all about it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall I tell you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall it be so?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall we ask our friends to cruise with us in our new yacht before it has left the stocks?
hvd.hn2ygt	Shall you go early?
hvd.hn2ygt	Snugly?"
hvd.hn2ygt	So soon?"
hvd.hn2ygt	So we will, — so we will — we'll have a grand battue, and you shall manage it, — will you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	So you want to find Father Eustace, eh?
hvd.hn2ygt	Steeve, is it true?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Stephen then knelt on the floor beside the bed, so that his lips should be on a level with the sufferer's ear, and said —"Can you hear what I say?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Stevie, you will come back to us again?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Stevie, you will not betray me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Such common- sense from a priest, eh?
hvd.hn2ygt	Suppose she begins to cry, or faints, what on earth am I to do?
hvd.hn2ygt	Tell me, what do I say?"
hvd.hn2ygt	The girl has relations, I suppose?"
hvd.hn2ygt	The man begged to be excused if he presumed — he was sure he did not mean any disre- spect — but had anything happened?
hvd.hn2ygt	The padre did not laugh this time, but grew suddenly grave, and asked abruptly —"Wh at do you want him for?"
hvd.hn2ygt	The rector's tone was very kind, but so firm, that Stevie gave in at once, — in- deed, how could he do otherwise?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Then I was over- persuaded by my wife's sister, — you remember her, George?
hvd.hn2ygt	Then he paused where Ste- phen sat, and, laying his hand on his shoulder, said, in a voice half choked with emotion, —"Do you love her?"
hvd.hn2ygt	There is no Country now, so, how can there be country gentlemen?
hvd.hn2ygt	There is something white over there; is that the light?"
hvd.hn2ygt	There was no armory; so how could there be a chamber over it?
hvd.hn2ygt	To be obliged to let them go again?
hvd.hn2ygt	Torrington?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Treherne?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Tremendously plucky thing for a little fellow like me to do, was n't it now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Was Jim Riley wrong in stating that he would be tried for that offence?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was he brave?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was he ir- resolute?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was he not a tall party in black?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was her grief so wild?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Was it in Kent or Sussex?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was it not enough for him that she should be happy — that she should lead the life that to her was the pleasantest and best?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was it that young lady who was here with Mr. Coleman and his family the night that I arrived?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Was it you who walked with John Brandron into Westborough Wood on the afternoon of the 29th July, 1858?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Was that what you were going to say?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Was the publisher acquainted with any person who would be likely to know?
hvd.hn2ygt	Was there anything disgraceful in that?
hvd.hn2ygt	We all in- tend to turn back some day; do n't we?
hvd.hn2ygt	We are lords of the crea- tion, are we not?
hvd.hn2ygt	We are wo nt to declare very glibly that to the brave and resolute most things are easy; but who is brave?
hvd.hn2ygt	We're accustomed to this sort of thing, ai n't us, Jim?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, I think that np to a certain point the one has no more to do with happiness than the other; do n't you, Stevie?
hvd.hn2ygt	Well, is this'ere a good security?
hvd.hn2ygt	Were there not books of reference in which the seats of the nobility and county families were described?
hvd.hn2ygt	Were there not others to cut down?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Were they to decline to place upon record their admiration of his conduct?
hvd.hn2ygt	Were they to give him the cold shoulder?
hvd.hn2ygt	Were you, Frank?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What a whining, dreamy fool she must think me?
hvd.hn2ygt	What about the man of men?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What am I to say to her?
hvd.hn2ygt	What are we to think of such conduct?
hvd.hn2ygt	What business had I to go gaping at a lot of grimy old pictures of people whom I do n't care a straw about?
hvd.hn2ygt	What could he have been think- ing about in the interim?
hvd.hn2ygt	What did he( meaning the"clumsy idi- ot"aforesaid) think?
hvd.hn2ygt	What did you say was the name of your boy as is locked up?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you mean?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you pro- pose to do now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What do you want to know?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What fault do you find?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What have I done?
hvd.hn2ygt	What is Sir George to me, that I should wait upon him because he particularly asks me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What is it my love?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What is it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What is the meaning of those placards, with the ghastly heading"Found Dead,"which glare at us from the doors of police- stations and work- houses?
hvd.hn2ygt	What is your opinion of him?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What is"However"?
hvd.hn2ygt	What made him await the replies to such queries so anxiously?
hvd.hn2ygt	What more have I to tell?
hvd.hn2ygt	What next?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What occasion was there to tell her anything — what need of an explanation, if she did not care for him?
hvd.hn2ygt	What of my poor, poor Bob 1""I suppose you knows where he is?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What office?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What on earth can it be?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What on earth do you mean?
hvd.hn2ygt	What possible interest eould I have in suppressing anything?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What rea- son had you for speaking of the wood?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What right have they to get in honest people's way, and tread on their corns?
hvd.hn2ygt	What right have you to make him miserable for a certainly, because you fancy there is a chance of his making you unhappy some day years hence?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What shall I do?
hvd.hn2ygt	What shall I do?
hvd.hn2ygt	What was Mrs. Wantley"by trade?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What was it to them what the fighting was about, so that we got the best of it?
hvd.hn2ygt	What was that for?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What were the names in the other two?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What will he think?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What will people say?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What would you do then, if you was me, eh?"
hvd.hn2ygt	What, acquitted?
hvd.hn2ygt	What, then, could he be doing under the walls of Rossthorne Cas- tle?
hvd.hn2ygt	What, then, could the fair Flora do but take the vacant place, and preside?
hvd.hn2ygt	What?
hvd.hn2ygt	When I sez,'He wo n't give more than five- and- twenty shillings a bushel for it,'you should have re- plied'Oh, he wo n't, wo n't he?'
hvd.hn2ygt	When did they go?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where are you going now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Where can I have heard it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where have they gone?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where is Frank- land — where, where?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where is it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Where is this'ere travelling tinker?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where's Frankland?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Where's the doctor?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Where- upon the father would shout,"Can it be?
hvd.hn2ygt	Where?
hvd.hn2ygt	Which is it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who can tell?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who could prevent it from fly- ing where an outraged Providence direct- ed it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who does not?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who has been talking to him about Mangerton Chase?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who has come down to this'ere little game a pur- pose to give a sanction to the pro — ceed- mgs?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who has lived and spent all his life amongst gentle- men as know about these sort of things?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who is here that is in the confidence of half the squires in the county?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who is this Colonel Vincent, whom Sir George and Lady Tremlett ap- pear to have taken such a fancy for?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who is this Mr. Brandron?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who keeps the lodging- house?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who killed Saville Kent?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who knows,"she continued, more gayly,"that you are not fretting yourself about nothing at all?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who lived there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who placed those bloody remains of mor- tality upon the coping- stones of Waterloo Bridge?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who says they were?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who sent it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who shall dare to laugh at our Crimean beards?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who was it with V and what had been the result?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who were they?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who would be pestered with girls and their foibles and fancies?
hvd.hn2ygt	Who's got the key?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Who, then, had a right to demand blood for blood?
hvd.hn2ygt	Whoever heard of a dog being called"Doggie"as a name?
hvd.hn2ygt	Whose mur- der?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why am I not with my regiment?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why can not they acquire a taste for novelty?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why could not he leave me alone?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why destroy that old tree?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why did he not quit Tremlett Towers as his father had recommended?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why did he not say this?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why did n't you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why did you ever delay it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why did you say he was coming from the wood, witness?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why do n't he go?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why do you not reply?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why has he done a score of paltry spiteful things of which you are yet ignorant?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why is it so very dark?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why not form new ones?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why not?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why on earth could not I have said just what I had made up my mind to say and no more?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why should he do so?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why should he not acknowledge the child?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why should he step in with his cursed pride — his vain ambition, and blight her in her prime?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why should you suppose that there should be more than two in June?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why this hesitation?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why trouble the mind of a dying man with thoughts of vengeance?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why wait till then?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why was he not expiating in Maidstone Jail his defeated attempt to escape from his punishment in that prison?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why was it that he felt guilty of deceit for not hav- ing stated that he had met Sir George in the lane leading from Mrs. Riley's cottage?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why, then, should I blame him for affect- ing other people and their ways, more than me and mine?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Why, — why did you bring him here into the very jaws of death?
hvd.hn2ygt	Why?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will any of these letters tell me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will he see them?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will it be wise to issue invita- tions to our grand house- warming before the new mansion is roofed in?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will it possess the genuine Indian flavor?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will that do?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will the race be to the swift?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will this do?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you back a man with a rickety, broken leg to win a foot- race?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you come with me to Westborough, and then I will go with you where you please?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you ever be able to get it all down again?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you go to Paris in twelve hours, and remain there?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you keep a dance or two disengaged for me?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you not let me know where I shall find you at home, — I mean, where you will stay when you arrive in England?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you swear it?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you take it?'
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you take ship for Aus- tralia?
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you tell me what you do n't want him for, if I put a few questions to ye?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Will you wait till he comes?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Wo nt I?
hvd.hn2ygt	Would Stephen call again?
hvd.hn2ygt	Would any one give me employ- ment under that which I have disgraced?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Would he have been a better dog, in his life, if he had known what a grand funeral he was to have when all was over?
hvd.hn2ygt	Would the Honorable Reginald Fitz- Shultz think of wearing a tail- coat in the daytime?
hvd.hn2ygt	You ai n't in a par- ticular hurry to get to London, are you, Captain?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You ai n't much of a speaker, Jim, but you ai n't often took in;-what do you call it?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You ai nt in the hop line though, are you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You are, probably, acquainted with that college?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You ask me if I did not feel guilty during those two days which intervened between your departure from Craigsleigh and your arrival at home?
hvd.hn2ygt	You ca n't put a quart of beer in a pint pot, can you now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You do n't love me less than you used in the old days, do you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You do n't mind trusting little Maud, do you, dearie?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You have said so, Mary, with your own sweet lips, — or is it a dream?

hvd.hn2ygt	You was a thinkin'of it no later than yesterday — and what happens this afternoon?
hvd.hn2ygt	You were not disturbed again?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You will give me credit for this, Miss Tre- herne?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You will take my place, will you not, and do what I should have done?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You're sure you did not see his Lordship there — about Westborough, I mean — that day?"
hvd.hn2ygt	You've told me to say exactly what I think; did n't you now?"
hvd.hn2ygt	Your tall, awk- ward friend, Maud, by any other name, would be quite as uninteresting to Gracey; would n't he, dear?
hvd.hn2ygt	and are they not now hanging up in a glass- case in the hall?
hvd.hn2ygt	and did you see him?"
hvd.hn2ygt	and do n't you remember the fit of delirium tremens which he had that night when he frighten- ed Miss Lee so, in the old Hall?
hvd.hn2ygt	and whose were they?
hvd.hn2ygt	and would it not be a great thing for him to be able to tell his children that he had seen the crown placed upon his anointed brow?

hvd.hn2ygt	echoed his father, who had determined to humiliate him;"that I should not have four hundred shillings?
hvd.hn2ygt	exclaimed Colonel Vincent;"my dear Sir George, you do not suppose I consider ratting'sport?'
hvd.hn2ygt	exclaimed Mr. Lagger;"what's all this about?"
hvd.hn2ygt	exclaimed the peer;"how dare you lay your hand on me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	gasped Stevie;"you cut down my tree?"
hvd.hn2ygt	has the post come in already?"
hvd.hn2ygt	have you followed me?"
hvd.hn2ygt	he added shortly afterwards, in a more serious tone;"how on earth did you know that we were going?"
hvd.hn2ygt	he added, almost fiercely;"what does it matter if it does make life burn away the quicker?
hvd.hn2ygt	he added, when this was done —"any- thing you want in your cabin?"
hvd.hn2ygt	he cried, raising himself on his elbow, as Bob Wantley limped into the room,"where have you been all this time?"
hvd.hn2ygt	he ex- claimed,"can anything have happened to him?"
hvd.hn2ygt	he exclaimed,"when did he come?
hvd.hn2ygt	he exclaimed:"may I not choose my own friends?"
hvd.hn2ygt	his niece, who was wuth( Coketown for worth) her fifty thousand, married to a beggarly baronet whom his foreman could buy up?

hvd.hn2ygt	said Jackson, when the door close upon his host,"what's the mat- ter?"
hvd.hn2ygt	said her husband;"how would you like to dine off nothing else for a month?"
hvd.hn2ygt	said the poor fellow, in a reproachful tone;"how came that?"

hvd.hn2ygt	what am I talking about?
hvd.hn2ygt	what do you mean?"
hvd.hn2ygt	what does it matter?
hvd.hn2ygt	what has happened?

hvd.hn2ygt	why did n't you say that before?
hvd.hn2ygt	why did you not tell me before?
hvd.hn2ygt	why has he not come?"
hvd.hn2ygt	will he ever forget that first pipe?
hvd.hn2ygt	you hear?"
hvd.hn2ygt	you're there, are you?"
hvd.hn2ygt	« My Dear Miss Brucb,"How could you have imagined that you had offended me?
hvd.hn2ygt	« Why not?"
hvd.hn2ygt	»"Who has dared to?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— Do you propose[ this to Lagger] taking me hence to- night?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— You were arrested this morning for four hundred pounds?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— all alone — on foot?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— and where?
hvd.hn2ygt	— but has he really come?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— ca n't you speak, man?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— eh?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— how?
hvd.hn2ygt	— how?
hvd.hn2ygt	— the prize to the strong?
hvd.hn2ygt	— was Captain Frankland ill?
hvd.hn2ygt	— what enemy?"
hvd.hn2ygt	— what has happened?

hvd.hwkm5s	A great success, was it? ” 246 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY “ One last question,he said.
hvd.hwkm5s	A minute?
hvd.hwkm5s	About fifteen years ago, was n't it? hvd.hwkm5s Afraid of what?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And now you do n't think so?
hvd.hwkm5s	And stopped to listen?
hvd.hwkm5s	And that's all you heard?
hvd.hwkm5s	And what does Mark say?
hvd.hwkm5s	And what happened yesterday?
hvd.hwkm5s	And what has happened to Mark since?
hvd.hwkm5s	And what was Mark's attitude?
hvd.hwkm5s	And which is your particular fancy, Bill?
hvd.hwkm5s	And you actually walked right into it?
hvd.hwkm5s	And you owe no loyalty to anyone concerned?
hvd.hwkm5s	Any address?
hvd.hwkm5s	Any good?
hvd.hwkm5s	Any way, he did come in here sometimes?
hvd.hwkm5s	Any word of Mr. Ablett — of Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	Anyhow, it was more convenient to have him in Australia?
hvd.hwkm5s	Anyhow, it would n't begin on an upstairs floor, would it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Anything else there?
hvd.hwkm5s	Apprehension?
hvd.hwkm5s	Are n't I going at all?
hvd.hwkm5s	Are there any points on which you would like to correct Mr. Cayley? — anything that he left out after you arrived here?
hvd.hwkm5s	Are there any points on which you would like to correct Mr. Cayley? — anything that he left out after you arrived here?
hvd.hwkm5s	Are we going to watch him?
hvd.hwkm5s	Are we really? hvd.hwkm5s Are you going to arrest him, or help him to escape?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Are you sure?
hvd.hwkm5s	Arranging things for you?
hvd.hwkm5s	As a matter of fact, Betty — Miss Calladine happens to be jolly keen on — what's the beggar's name?
hvd.hwkm5s	Asking for money?
hvd.hwkm5s	Beverley, and the others?
hvd.hwkm5s	But are n't we going to have a look at it?
hvd.hwkm5s	But he had just told you to stand by in case he wanted you; so why should he lock you out? hvd.hwkm5s But is n't there a drive, or a road or anything?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But is that the one?
hvd.hwkm5s	But it does n't matter, does it? hvd.hwkm5s But there's one thing that worries me rather. ” OUTSIDE OR INSIDE?
hvd.hwkm5s	But were you bound to see him? hvd.hwkm5s But what about luggage and tradesmen and that kind of thing?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But what about the key?
hvd.hwkm5s	But what was I saying? hvd.hwkm5s But what?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But why afraid?
hvd.hwkm5s	But why should he want to throw it away?
hvd.hwkm5s	But, look here, Tony, why do you want to bother about this end of it? hvd.hwkm5s Can we get to the village that way, or must we go by the road? ”.
hvd.hwkm5s	Can you see him in court now?
hvd.hwkm5s	Come on where?
hvd.hwkm5s	Come with us?
hvd.hwkm5s	Could Mark be hiding there?
hvd.hwkm5s	DO YOU FOLLOW ME, WATSON? ” 85 “ Oh, by the way,said Bill, taking his place on the bed,"your idea about the keys is a wash- out."
hvd.hwkm5s	DO YOU FOLLOW ME, WATSON?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did anybody come out of the house before this gentleman's arrival?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did he express his surprise that his brother should be in England?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did he write Mark sometimes?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did he?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did n't you hear what he said?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did you hear anything?!
hvd.hwkm5s	Did you know him well?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did you notice the postmark?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did you see it at all?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did you see or hear the last witness at all?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do You Follow Me, Watson?.
hvd.hwkm5s	Do n't you think so? hvd.hwkm5s Do you mean that he has killed himself?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you mean that he's been hiding there all the time?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you mean you would n't have been asked here again?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you really think we might find Mark hiding there?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you recognize it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you remember,he said,"one of Holmes's little scores over Watson about the number of steps up to the Baker Street lodging?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you still think Mark's body might be there?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you think he had a revolver with him?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you want to go noticing in there now?
hvd.hwkm5s	Does n't one?
hvd.hwkm5s	Elsie?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ever been here before?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ever been over there?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ever read'em, Cayley?
hvd.hwkm5s	Exciting? hvd.hwkm5s Finished what?"
hvd.hwkm5s	For Joe?
hvd.hwkm5s	Got a match?
hvd.hwkm5s	Got any brothers, Major?
hvd.hwkm5s	Hallo, Major,he said as he came in,"how's the goat?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Hallo, what's the matter?
hvd.hwkm5s	Hallo, you madman, have you come to stay, or what?
hvd.hwkm5s	Has Cayley got to be out of the house for the other thing too?
hvd.hwkm5s	Has n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Have they finished?
hvd.hwkm5s	Have you any other explanation?
hvd.hwkm5s	Have you ever locked your door?
hvd.hwkm5s	Have you ever seen Mark Ablett?
hvd.hwkm5s	Have you noticed the other rooms — the billiard- room, and library, and so on?
hvd.hwkm5s	Have you?
hvd.hwkm5s	He came all right just now?
hvd.hwkm5s	He was fond of him?
hvd.hwkm5s	He was n't there when the ghost walked?
hvd.hwkm5s	Hear what?
hvd.hwkm5s	His collar?
hvd.hwkm5s	How do you mean, what about him?
hvd.hwkm5s	How do you mean?
hvd.hwkm5s	How do you mean?
hvd.hwkm5s	How do you mean?
hvd.hwkm5s	How far away is Middleston?
hvd.hwkm5s	How soon after you had heard this did the shot come?
hvd.hwkm5s	How? hvd.hwkm5s How?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I beg your pardon, sir, but will there be an inquest?
hvd.hwkm5s	I said to Mrs. Stevens — didn't I, Mrs. Stevens? —'That was in the house,'I said.
hvd.hwkm5s	I said,'How?'
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, Tony, do you really mean it?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, are you being the complete detective?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, did you hear me tapping?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, do you really think he's there? ”. hvd.hwkm5s I say, do you really think it is?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, do you really?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, do you think so? ”! hvd.hwkm5s I say, has it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, have you really found it all out?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, however do you know that?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, is it anything rather exciting?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, it's a bit of a business, is n't it? hvd.hwkm5s I say, ought I to tell him how sorry I am and all that sort of thing?
hvd.hwkm5s	I say, really? hvd.hwkm5s I shall light a pipe before I open it,"he said,"What about you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I suppose you meant that Cay- ley deliberately betrayed Mark, and tried to make him look like a murderer??? hvd.hwkm5s I suppose you meant that Cay- ley deliberately betrayed Mark, and tried to make him look like a murderer???
hvd.hwkm5s	I suppose you meant that Cay- ley deliberately betrayed Mark, and tried to make him look like a murderer??? hvd.hwkm5s I wonder if you'd take this letter to Jallands for me?"
hvd.hwkm5s	If anybody had come out of the office while you were in the library, would you have heard it?
hvd.hwkm5s	If you please, sir,she said in a low, respectful voice,"can you tell me where the master is?
hvd.hwkm5s	In the pond?
hvd.hwkm5s	In what terms?
hvd.hwkm5s	In what way?
hvd.hwkm5s	Inconvenient questions?
hvd.hwkm5s	Inquests and that sort of thing?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is he dead?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is he generally in form?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is it all right?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is n't that rather odd?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is the car there?
hvd.hwkm5s	It did n't quite fit in?
hvd.hwkm5s	It need n't begin here at all, need it?
hvd.hwkm5s	It reconciles you to the departure of — some of the others?
hvd.hwkm5s	It's all very well to say'Well?' hvd.hwkm5s It's awtully decent of you,"said Bill awkwardly,"but weer""You will, wo n't you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	It's safe, is it? hvd.hwkm5s Jolly little place, is n't it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Just now?
hvd.hwkm5s	Key of the office?
hvd.hwkm5s	Keys?
hvd.hwkm5s	Let me see; it's over in that direction, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Mark Ahlett never talked about him?
hvd.hwkm5s	Mark good?
hvd.hwkm5s	Mark kept him busy?
hvd.hwkm5s	Mark? hvd.hwkm5s Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	May I — er — look round a bit?
hvd.hwkm5s	May have drowned himself, knowing that he could n't get away? hvd.hwkm5s Mean what?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Meaning that Cayley went down and killed him afterwards — after you had come, after the police had come?
hvd.hwkm5s	Mr. Robert Ablett? ” THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY quiet- like. hvd.hwkm5s Mr. Robert. ” MR. GILLINGHAM'S NEW PROFESSION 55"How do you know it was Mr. Robert?
hvd.hwkm5s	My God, can you see it?
hvd.hwkm5s	My dear Tony,said Bill delightedly,"need you ask?"
hvd.hwkm5s	No, that's rather hopeless, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Nobody left the house by the front door after the shot?
hvd.hwkm5s	Nor what?
hvd.hwkm5s	Now, about this letter, Mr. Beverley?
hvd.hwkm5s	Oh, by the way,he put in,"If I may interrupt a moment, will you want to see them at all?
hvd.hwkm5s	Oh, that? hvd.hwkm5s Oh, this was only quite lately?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Oh, you were going to show me that, anyhow, were n't you? hvd.hwkm5s Oh?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Or are you always playing billiards? ” 128 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERYI have a look at'Badminton'sometimes,"said Bill.
hvd.hwkm5s	Or would you rather I did it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Over four or five hundred yards of open park?
hvd.hwkm5s	Over here?
hvd.hwkm5s	Perhaps you were n't listening when Cayley went ir?
hvd.hwkm5s	Quite sure?
hvd.hwkm5s	Rather good, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Rather high- pitched, you know, and — well, one ca n't explain, but―"Yes?
hvd.hwkm5s	Really, Bill?
hvd.hwkm5s	Robert Ablett, did n't you say?
hvd.hwkm5s	Robert?
hvd.hwkm5s	Robert?
hvd.hwkm5s	Rum, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Running?
hvd.hwkm5s	Shall I have to give my evidence, sir?
hvd.hwkm5s	She could n't have been hiding in the ditch? hvd.hwkm5s So that you were n't surprised when you saw him coming down?"
hvd.hwkm5s	So you do n't really know whether he lad been merely wild or — or wicked??! hvd.hwkm5s So you do n't really know whether he lad been merely wild or — or wicked??!
hvd.hwkm5s	Staying in the house?
hvd.hwkm5s	Still, Mark might have given him a hand?
hvd.hwkm5s	Suppose it was an accident, as Cayley says, would he lose his head and run away?
hvd.hwkm5s	Suppose we find Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	Sure we have n't missed it?
hvd.hwkm5s	That was about five minutes afterwards?
hvd.hwkm5s	That was like it?
hvd.hwkm5s	The Ancient Mariner—water, water, every- where or was that something else?
hvd.hwkm5s	The Major and I might be useful anyway,said Bill,"Is n't that what you mean, Mrs. Calladine?
hvd.hwkm5s	The Red House? hvd.hwkm5s The key?"
hvd.hwkm5s	The one he is advertised as having run away in?
hvd.hwkm5s	The one that goes with the rest of the clothes? hvd.hwkm5s The police?
hvd.hwkm5s	The sort which old gentlemen have to keep out draughts?
hvd.hwkm5s	The'Plough and Horses'- just at the corner where the road goes up to the station — is that the one you mean?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then he might easily drop the chauffeur at his lodge and go off to Stanton, or wherever he wanted to, on his own?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then how do you explain the letter?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then how do you know?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then what do you want to do?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then where do I sleep to- night?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then where is he going?
hvd.hwkm5s	Then why did n't he call for you? hvd.hwkm5s Then you did n't see Mr. Mark at all? ”.
hvd.hwkm5s	This morning?
hvd.hwkm5s	This was a business meeting rather than a broth- erly one? hvd.hwkm5s Triumphantly? ” “ As much as to say his chance had come."
hvd.hwkm5s	Useful for what?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was Mark fond of swimming?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was Mark in the room too?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was he angry with all of you?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was it he?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was that our friend Cayley?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was that what you were looking for in the cup- board?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was the library door open?
hvd.hwkm5s	Watson?
hvd.hwkm5s	Weeds?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, Elsie?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, but where does that lead you?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, did he say anything f ”He said,'Robert's here?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, everybody else is bundled off except me, and I get put through it by that inspector as if I knew all about it — what's the idea?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, how else could he have got away? hvd.hwkm5s Well, sir, he said,'Is Mister Mark Ablett at home?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, that's what we've got to find out, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, the office is the most likely, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, what do you expect to find there?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, where's the front door?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, why did you say you did?
hvd.hwkm5s	Well,he said eagerly, as he sat down to the business of the meal,"what are we going to do this morning?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well,he said reluctantly,"suppose Mark confessed that he'd murdered his brother?"

hvd.hwkm5s	Well?

hvd.hwkm5s	Yes?
hvd.hwkm5s	Yes?
hvd.hwkm5s	Yes?
hvd.hwkm5s	Yesterday?
hvd.hwkm5s	You and Miss Calladine were playing together?
hvd.hwkm5s	You ca n't bathe?
hvd.hwkm5s	You devil, I suppose you did think of it, then?
hvd.hwkm5s	You did n't hear what she told the inspector? hvd.hwkm5s You did n't see Mark, then?"
hvd.hwkm5s	You do n't know what was in it, then? ” 282 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERYI said,'This is the Red House.
hvd.hwkm5s	You do n't mean you went out at the other end?
hvd.hwkm5s	You guessed that I meant Cayley?
hvd.hwkm5s	You mean that he was n't afraid of violence, or blackmail, or anything of that sort?
hvd.hwkm5s	You mean that he's hidden something there? hvd.hwkm5s You mean that it makes it seem more deliber- ate?"
hvd.hwkm5s	You mean that we sha n't have time?
hvd.hwkm5s	You mean you saw him at the time, but that you've only just remembered it — reconstructed it in the way you were explaining just now? ”. hvd.hwkm5s You mean you'd give yourself a bit of a run for your money?"
hvd.hwkm5s	You mean,said Bill excitedly,"That the key was on the outside of the door when Mark went into the room?"
hvd.hwkm5s	You see my tree and the other coat?
hvd.hwkm5s	You will come with us, Ruth?
hvd.hwkm5s	You will let me have their names and addresses in case I want to communicate with them?
hvd.hwkm5s	You will tell him, wo n't you, how dreadfully sorry I am about about what has happened? hvd.hwkm5s You would have seen her long before, would n't you, if she had come the way we came?"
hvd.hwkm5s	You're certain of that?
hvd.hwkm5s	You're going down to the village?
hvd.hwkm5s	You're quite ready for what we may find?
hvd.hwkm5s	You're ready to go?
hvd.hwkm5s	You're staying here, in the house?
hvd.hwkm5s	You're sure she did n't come across the park when none of you were looking?
hvd.hwkm5s	Your cousin?
hvd.hwkm5s	Your suggestion?
hvd.hwkm5s	'What's to be done, Cay?
hvd.hwkm5s	( But what on earth, he wondered to himself, were they betting about?)
hvd.hwkm5s	-"Hallo,"said Bill to himself, as they approached the house,"is n't that old Tony?"
hvd.hwkm5s	... And Mr. Ablett has n't been found yet?"
hvd.hwkm5s	... Was it possible?
hvd.hwkm5s	... Was it?
hvd.hwkm5s	... Would he have time now to unlock the door, slip in, open the French win- dows and slip out again?
hvd.hwkm5s	... Would you call Mark a hasty- tem- pered man? ” 288 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY “ Thank you, Mr.
hvd.hwkm5s	... and here was Antony saying that he was — what?
hvd.hwkm5s	100 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY “ What?"
hvd.hwkm5s	184 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY “ The front door?
hvd.hwkm5s	192 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY"By Jove, you mean that he will go out at the far end by the bowling- green?"

hvd.hwkm5s	67 “ What's that?"

hvd.hwkm5s	A collar all by itself?'
hvd.hwkm5s	A man?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ablett and your daughter?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ablett?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Afraid that and"Well you"What's the safest place in which to hide anything very important?"
hvd.hwkm5s	After all, what does one go into a library for, except to take books down?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Aloud he said,"What do they expect to find? ”"They think that Mark ” He broke off and shrugged his shoulders.
hvd.hwkm5s	Also whom do you suspect?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And I remembered — what, Bill???
hvd.hwkm5s	And I remembered — what, Bill???
hvd.hwkm5s	And I remembered — what, Bill???
hvd.hwkm5s	And again why run, if he did want to give him time?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And how near can the car get to Jallands?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And if Cayley had been hiding the truth about the keys, why should he not be hiding the truth about Mark's entry into the office?
hvd.hwkm5s	And knowing that he had com promised himself by trying to get away at all?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And thought it safest to hide it in the pond?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And what about your luggage?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And what letter would convey anything to Antony?
hvd.hwkm5s	And when did Miss Calladine last read'The Excursion'aloud to you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	And where was Gillingham?
hvd.hwkm5s	And why is n't there a star called Beverley's Belt?
hvd.hwkm5s	And yet where else can it be?
hvd.hwkm5s	Anyway, he'd bang on it, and you would n't answer, and then what would he think?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Anyway, you want to go on with it, do n't you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Are n't you going into it at all?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Are n't you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Are you going to undress here or in the boat?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Betty was leaning across to Miss Norris and saying, 40 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY"Who's killed?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Bill chewed a piece of grass thoughtfully, and then said,"Does it make much difference?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Bill made a suitably sympathetic noise, and An- tony said with a shrug of the shoulders,"Well, he was bound to do that, was n't he?
hvd.hwkm5s	Bill was silent, too, not liking to interrupt his thoughts, but at last he said:"Shall I put these things back, Tony?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Bill, when did you last read'Paradise Lost?".
hvd.hwkm5s	Bill, where does the secret passage begin?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But I'm right, are n't I, about why he went out this way?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But alarm for whose safety?
hvd.hwkm5s	But how did Miss Norris appear sud- denly- over five hundred yards of bare park?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But how was it possible?
hvd.hwkm5s	But how?
hvd.hwkm5s	But if so, why send the collar quite casually to the wash in the ordinary way, and take immense trouble to hide everything else?
hvd.hwkm5s	But if the bodies were brought together somehow... and Robert's death looked like suicide?
hvd.hwkm5s	But is n't it overdoing it rather to make him change his underclothes and everything?
hvd.hwkm5s	But suppose Robert were dead, too?
hvd.hwkm5s	But suppose it is n't there?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But what on earth had Miss Norris got to do with it?
hvd.hwkm5s	But what quotation?
hvd.hwkm5s	But where was the body which Antony had expected so confidently or, if there were no body, where was Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	But why should he want to give Robert time in which to get away?
hvd.hwkm5s	But why were you so certain of the particular place?"
hvd.hwkm5s	But, after all, why should n't he?
hvd.hwkm5s	CHAPTER V OUTSIDE OR INSIDE?
hvd.hwkm5s	CHAPTER VIII"DO YOU FOLLOW ME, WATSON?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Can I leave my practice for a week?
hvd.hwkm5s	Coffee?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Could ha have seen him coming down the drive?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Could he have come in, and gone up to his room, without your seeing him?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Could he have kept it a secret in the dining- room?
hvd.hwkm5s	Could n't Cay- ley have brought him another one in the passage, to escape in, and then have had the brown one on his hands?
hvd.hwkm5s	Could the deceased have been killed accidentally?
hvd.hwkm5s	Could you be a sleuth- hound, Bill — one of these that travel on their stom- achs very noiselessly?
hvd.hwkm5s	D'you see how the shadow moves across?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did Anthony know it?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did Bill know it himself, if it came to that?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did I deceive you at all?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did I tell you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Did she love him — or the other or neither?
hvd.hwkm5s	Did you hear the shot?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Dinner was announced at that moment, and as they went in, he added,"What's the good of talking about it at all, if it comes to that?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Do n't you see?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you call it the moat, by the way?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you haunt the lake much in the ordinary way?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you know anything about Orion's Belt, for instance?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you know anything about the stars, Mr. Beverley?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you know the bowling- green?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you mind?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you think he means trouble?'
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you think that Mark was unfair to his brother?
hvd.hwkm5s	Do you want any assistance, or do you prefer choos- ing your own breakfast?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Does n't that seem rather to bear out the escaping theory?
hvd.hwkm5s	Enter W. Beverley, R.""Are you often like this at breakfast?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Ever heard of her?"
hvd.hwkm5s	For which of them had she the greater feeling — Cayley or Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	For who saw Mark go into the office?
hvd.hwkm5s	Fortunate, was n't it, Mr. Gillingham?
hvd.hwkm5s	Got a match?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Got that?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Guess the answer to be does that satisfy all the conditions of the problem?
hvd.hwkm5s	Had Antony understood?
hvd.hwkm5s	Had he left it out by mistake?
hvd.hwkm5s	Had he left it out on purpose?
hvd.hwkm5s	Had he said"six"to Antony?
hvd.hwkm5s	Had you heard his voice before?"
hvd.hwkm5s	He had begun to think about something quite different CHAPTER IX POSSIBILITIES OF A CROQUET SET W H AT'S the matter?"
hvd.hwkm5s	He hesitated, and then said,"Is he dead?
hvd.hwkm5s	He meant,"Were you fond of him?"
hvd.hwkm5s	He's got such a frightful lot, has n't he?
hvd.hwkm5s	How could Antony have taken such a risk?
hvd.hwkm5s	How could Robert be made to seem the murderer, if Robert were alive to deny it?
hvd.hwkm5s	How could he help feeling that this was not real tragedy, but merely a jolly kind of de tective game that he and Antony were playing?
hvd.hwkm5s	How could he possibly guess?
hvd.hwkm5s	How did one signal to anybody?
hvd.hwkm5s	How do ghosts appear?
hvd.hwkm5s	How do we work it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	How do you think I got back here?"
hvd.hwkm5s	How had the deceased met his death?
hvd.hwkm5s	How have you found out?
hvd.hwkm5s	How long to wait before Cay- ley came up?
hvd.hwkm5s	How long was it before you heard the shot?"
hvd.hwkm5s	How long would it be before Cayley came up?
hvd.hwkm5s	How much longer have I got to go on doing this?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I just came to say,"he went on to Antony,"that naturally they've rather lost their heads in the kitchen, and dinner wo n't be OUTSIDE OR INSIDE?
hvd.hwkm5s	I like books of travel, do n't you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I mean, could you get near enough to the pond to make sure that Cayley is still there, without letting him see you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I suppose she could n't have made a mistake, Bill?
hvd.hwkm5s	I suppose you could do with a drink, could n't you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	I'm sure you agree with me?"
hvd.hwkm5s	If Bill could imi- tate it so successfully, why not Cayley?
hvd.hwkm5s	If so, why — and where was it?
hvd.hwkm5s	If the other OUTSIDE OR INSIDE?
hvd.hwkm5s	If they disbelieved in this possibility of suicide, what remained?
hvd.hwkm5s	If you would n't mind it, Bill?"
hvd.hwkm5s	If your cousin Mark Ablett was in the room with this"—he indicated the body"this man, then―""Who said he was?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is a man in Mark's state of mind, frightened to death lest he should be found with the body, going to do anything so fool- hardy as that?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is he down?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is he going to walk across the park in the moonlight, with all those windows staring at him?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is he?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is it somewhere where we can talk without being overheard?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is n't he in the office?
hvd.hwkm5s	Is n't that right? ”!
hvd.hwkm5s	Is that likely?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is that right?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is that right?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is there a lake?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Is there anything else you want to know?
hvd.hwkm5s	It does n't sound very hollow, does it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	It was possible, but then would Mark Ablett have run away?
hvd.hwkm5s	It was quite an accident your being outside just then?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Just killed him and then run away?
hvd.hwkm5s	Let's surprise Cayley with it, shall we?"
hvd.hwkm5s	MR. GILLINGHAM'S NEW PROFESSION 51 “ Yes; would you like to see him?"
hvd.hwkm5s	More immediately, however, where was Cayley?
hvd.hwkm5s	Naturally I began to say to myself, Where have I seen a collar lately?
hvd.hwkm5s	No guests?"
hvd.hwkm5s	No instinctive turning of the key now, is there?
hvd.hwkm5s	No more. ”-“Well, what does it amount to?"
hvd.hwkm5s	No?
hvd.hwkm5s	Not the Red House, Stanton?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Now then, he arrived, you say, about three o'clock?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Now then, what was it you heard?
hvd.hwkm5s	Now what really happened?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Now, what's the next thing?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Now, why did he tell you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	OUTSIDE OR INSIDE?
hvd.hwkm5s	OUTSIDE OR INSIDE?
hvd.hwkm5s	Occa- sionally he said,'What do you think he wants?
hvd.hwkm5s	Only, in that case — why run?
hvd.hwkm5s	Or a novel?
hvd.hwkm5s	Or do you call it the summer- house?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Or do you stay indoors and play billiards all the time?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Or does he ask him what's happened?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Or is this a new game?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Or the body of a man?
hvd.hwkm5s	Or was that seventh bit of a twig an acci- dental bit which had been on the ground anyhow?
hvd.hwkm5s	Perhaps it was true that inspectors liked dragging ponds, but the question was, Did Cayleys like having them dragged?
hvd.hwkm5s	Plenty of money to spend, eh?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ripping night, is n't it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Robert accidentally shot?
hvd.hwkm5s	Robert dead in the office, and Mark dead in the pas- sage — how does that help?
hvd.hwkm5s	Shall he bury the body in the passage and let it be thought that Mark ran away, frightened at the mere thought of his brother's arrival?
hvd.hwkm5s	She did hear him?"
hvd.hwkm5s	So I got in front of him like, and said,'What do you want, eh?
hvd.hwkm5s	So you know who I am, eh?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Some false clue which he wants the police to find?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Suddenly he said:"What is your theory of Robert's death?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Suppose Robert were dead, too?
hvd.hwkm5s	Surely Mark did n't let you play croquet on his bowling- green?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Surely it would have been quicker to have run round to the right?

hvd.hwkm5s	The revolver?
hvd.hwkm5s	The way to the village? ” •"Yes.
hvd.hwkm5s	Then he said,"You're staying near here?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Then, as if resent- ing suddenly these questions from a stranger,"Who are you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Then, struck by an idea, he turned back to Antony and said,"Do you think I had better go up to the pond to make sure that they're still at it?
hvd.hwkm5s	There's no ob jection to that, I suppose?"
hvd.hwkm5s	They are n't finding any- thing at the pond, are they?"
hvd.hwkm5s	They natu- rally want to get hold of your cousin, innocent or guilty. ” 66 THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY “ Which do you think he is, Mr. Gillingham?"
hvd.hwkm5s	This is the way we came yesterday, is n't it?
hvd.hwkm5s	This is where she appeared, is n't it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	This letter that Mark got — did you see it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	To give the murderer time to escape?
hvd.hwkm5s	To hate?
hvd.hwkm5s	Tony, are you mad, or am I?
hvd.hwkm5s	Ugly, black- jawed devil, is n't he?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Unduly hard on him?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Was Cay- ley under the table, for example?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was Cayley anxious about it, or quite indifferent?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was Mark very angry afterwards?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Was it a pistol- shot?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was it only a coincidence that Mr. Gillingham had turned up just when he did?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was it seven?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was it to give Mark more time in which to escape?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was she really prepared to marry Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was that right?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was the office window open?
hvd.hwkm5s	Was there anything there to give away the secret?
hvd.hwkm5s	Water, water everywhere"Tony?
hvd.hwkm5s	We've got to make up our minds, have n't we?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well now, about these servants?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, that knocks your theory on the head, does n't it?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, the police will want to say a word about that, wo n't they?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well, then you suddenly saw her?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Well?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What about bed?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What about the bowling- green?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What about you?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What are his emotions now?
hvd.hwkm5s	What are they dragging it for?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What are we going to do?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What could Cayley want to hide other than a key or a revolver?
hvd.hwkm5s	What did he think of Mark?
hvd.hwkm5s	What do you mean?
hvd.hwkm5s	What do you say, Mr. Gillingham?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What does Cayley expect?
hvd.hwkm5s	What had Miss Norris got to do with it?
hvd.hwkm5s	What had he done?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What is he to do?
hvd.hwkm5s	What letter?
hvd.hwkm5s	What letters did he know?
hvd.hwkm5s	What on earth is the point of keeping in your head an unnecessary fact like that?
hvd.hwkm5s	What sort of terms was he on with the guests-- you and Miss Norris and all of them?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What was C?
hvd.hwkm5s	What was in the bag?
hvd.hwkm5s	What was in the bag?
hvd.hwkm5s	What was the truth?
hvd.hwkm5s	What were you telling me about that?
hvd.hwkm5s	What's happened to you suddenly?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What's the good of talking as if Mark was a murderer?"
hvd.hwkm5s	What's the point of Cayley behaving like that?"
hvd.hwkm5s	When Antony spoke, it was to ask another question:"Can Cayley drive a car?"
hvd.hwkm5s	When he's gone down to the passage and got the body, what will he do next?"
hvd.hwkm5s	Where did I go wrong?
hvd.hwkm5s	Where do I come in, exactly?"

mdp.39015063512993	Why, ” she said, “ can- not you see? mdp.39015063512993 You thought things looked ugly for Trethewy once, did you not?
mdp.39015063512993	Alas, even to the test cui bono, “ that stock question of Cassius,'whom did it profit?
mdp.39015063512993	And so Vane- Cartwright was to go unhanged, and why not, after all?
mdp.39015063512993	And then what did he expect to gain by the interview which he had sought with us?
mdp.39015063512993	And what did it matter, and why did some one say it?
mdp.39015063512993	And why not, it might be asked, by Callaghan, against whom at one time such good grounds of suspicion were to be found?
mdp.39015063512993	As for the manner of Peters'death, what further place was there to look in for some fresh dis- covery?
mdp.39015063512993	But what possessed him to throw them away, any- how? ” “ Oh,"said the Superintendent,"they mostly have plenty of half- clever ideas.
mdp.39015063512993	But why?
mdp.39015063512993	But, oh, what am I saying?
mdp.39015063512993	Could he have imagined that he was likely to do so?
mdp.39015063512993	Could it after all be one of the servants?
mdp.39015063512993	Could not I see him?
mdp.39015063512993	Did I know this “ C."?
mdp.39015063512993	Did I suspect that person?
mdp.39015063512993	Did I suspect this person?
mdp.39015063512993	Did he not go away just after the letter came, though he had not been intending to go so soon?
mdp.39015063512993	Did he not laugh rather strangely as he read it, though I never ma[ 85] TRACKS IN THE SNOW heard him laugh at anything amusing?
mdp.39015063512993	Did it[ 64] TRACKS IN THE SNOW even go beyond the truth in this, that the man's thoughts had never been so black as he made them out?
mdp.39015063512993	Had I done nothing worse than betray vague suspicions?
mdp.39015063512993	Had I no- ticed that handwriting before?
mdp.39015063512993	Had I not rather won- dered at the pains he had kindly taken to help me with several letters before?
mdp.39015063512993	Had I not seen this very letter in the hands of"C. ”?
mdp.39015063512993	Had I not thought it rather odd that he, a man so decidedly"all there, ” had opened and read it before it was given to me?
mdp.39015063512993	Had he really read in that letter that he need not have feared Peters, and that he had- yes, murdered him for nothing?
mdp.39015063512993	Had the fearful strain under which he had been living of late taken away the coolness and acuteness of his judgment?
mdp.39015063512993	Had"C. ” another initial to his surname, a double name?
mdp.39015063512993	How was I to take this confession?
mdp.39015063512993	I asked myself of each in turn, is he the guilty man?
mdp.39015063512993	I did not expect the good luck of meeting you again so soon. ” Where was I staying?
mdp.39015063512993	I do not know what Vane- Cartwright had said, but suddenly Peters said,'Sailed in what?'
mdp.39015063512993	I was busy and therefore happy enough, and I did not often but I did sometimes ask myself, would nothing more ever turn up?
mdp.39015063512993	Is that Mr. Trethewy's house, sir? ” for we were by this time close to it.
mdp.39015063512993	It ought to have en- riched and ennobled my life, ought it not?
mdp.39015063512993	Might he not, in that case, be the posses- sor of information more valuable than he knew?
mdp.39015063512993	Mrs. Trethewy would be there in a moment and could help us out; or- why did not that old rustic help us?
mdp.39015063512993	Now I see clearly that I am wrong to draw inferences, but again, I ask, could I help inferring what I did?
mdp.39015063512993	Or had he some other far more sinister hope than that of stirring us to unworthy pity or generosity?
mdp.39015063512993	Or perhaps Who said Long- hurst and his ship went down?
mdp.39015063512993	Shall I repeat my question?
mdp.39015063512993	There is Trethewy, I suppose they will let him out some day; but who is going to employ him?
mdp.39015063512993	There is that correspondence with a Dutch legal gentleman at Batavia which occurred a little afterwards, or a little before was it?
mdp.39015063512993	Was Trethewy after all an accomplice in the crime?
mdp.39015063512993	Was he relying overmuch upon the skill and mastery of himself and others which he would bring to bear in this strange interview?
mdp.39015063512993	Was it lifeless?
mdp.39015063512993	Was it the simple truth all through?
mdp.39015063512993	Was it- each of us in turn?
mdp.39015063512993	Was the candle which was found burnt out a new candle the evening before, or a candle- end, or what?
mdp.39015063512993	Was the mental history which the man gave of himself a cunning inven- tion for accounting for the known quarrel and the known threats?
mdp.39015063512993	Was the story true with this grave correction that Trethewy had carried out his in- tent?
mdp.39015063512993	What good chance brought me there?
mdp.39015063512993	What of that?
mdp.39015063512993	What opinion had he formed of the mental weaknesses of the two men with whom he was playing?
mdp.39015063512993	Which of them held this dark secret, and how was I to elicit it?
mdp.39015063512993	Why had the Sergeant not noticed this in the morning?
mdp.39015063512993	Why not delay it this time as usual?
mdp.39015063512993	Why was Trethewy there?
mdp.39015063512993	Would I mind trying to find this out from the landlord at the inn?
mdp.39015063512993	“ Why were you so frightened? ” I asked.

mdp.39015003350215	9I that book you were reading, Mrs. Williams? ” I asked after a moment of vain searching.
mdp.39015003350215	A futile sort of smile, that said—“You see, what is the use? ” Dr. Cadel raised his eyebrows.
mdp.39015003350215	Above all, why had Ted disappeared?
mdp.39015003350215	Afraid?
mdp.39015003350215	After all, what could we do?
mdp.39015003350215	All the way down I kept saying, “ What if Ted is n’t really gone?
mdp.39015003350215	And another thing — how would Ted have money with him?
mdp.39015003350215	And if you want my honest opinion, we will find the y WHAT DID Gypsy KNow?
mdp.39015003350215	And lots for Felice, and a letter for me, thank heavens! ” “ A package for me? ” I asked incredulously.
mdp.39015003350215	And oh, by the way, ” he paused at the foot of the stairs—“Did Felice tell you there is to be an extra couple at our party? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015003350215	And were — how many shots were fired, could you say? ” “ Oh, I do n’t have any idea of that.
mdp.39015003350215	And what if Briel had not been with me?
mdp.39015003350215	And you see, Cartier did n’t recognize me at all — that was the good joke. ” “ Why was that?
mdp.39015003350215	Any one we know? ” IO MURDER IN THE CELLAR “ No. ” Cartier shook his head, and looked sober for a moment.
mdp.39015003350215	Anybody know where those things are kept around here? ” “ There ’s a flashlight out in our car in the drive- way, ” I managed to say.
mdp.39015003350215	Anyhow this says, “ went outdoors to throw away a cigar stub?
mdp.39015003350215	Are n’t you coming, Walter? ” Walter glanced at his watch.
mdp.39015003350215	Are they for- eigners? ” “ No, but they have been on the Continent.
mdp.39015003350215	Are you accustomed to do your own work? ” “ No, ” answered Felice haughtily.
mdp.39015003350215	Are you still sure that you left Romas at eleven or was it later? ”- The girl ’s face changed and she grasped at the back of a chair.
mdp.39015003350215	As for the little scare over the radio, what was it all about, anyhow?
mdp.39015003350215	Briel could n’t fix it? ” I asked.
mdp.39015003350215	But I wanted him to hear — hear what Ted should tell, so confident was I that his next words s º** CHAPTER VIII whAT DID GYPSY KNow?
mdp.39015003350215	But he had a fat chance. ” “ How does it happen that you know so much about this man Ramsay? ” asked the sheriff curiously.
mdp.39015003350215	But how did he get past the guards?
mdp.39015003350215	But seems to me Cartier's last few shots were very slowly spaced. ” “ What do you mean by spaced? ” asked the sheriff with interest.
mdp.39015003350215	But something will turn up in the morning, and we ca n’t do a blessed thing now anyway. ” “ Is — is Felice all right? ” I asked him.
mdp.39015003350215	But the loud overcoat — had Ted bought it in Pittsburgh?
mdp.39015003350215	But where are the others? ” “ Lazy, ” I replied, with a laugh.
mdp.39015003350215	But whom are you hiding, Mrs. Smith?
mdp.39015003350215	But why THE SHOT I57 should she wish to burn the pages at all?
mdp.39015003350215	But why dream?
mdp.39015003350215	But why should he?
mdp.39015003350215	But — did you ever read that story by W. W. Jacobs called “ The Monkey's Paw ’? ” “ No, ” I answered.
mdp.39015003350215	But, Mr. Smith, how did you and your wife drive down here?
mdp.39015003350215	By the way, did the Cadels go straight back to Pittsburgh? ” “ They went to the Grand Hotel to make reserva- tions for to- night.
mdp.39015003350215	By the way, how long is it since your husband went upstairs? ” I figured back.
mdp.39015003350215	Can I help you? ” The words were kind enough, but the man ’s face repelled me as be- fore, from its very lack of sympathy and interest.
mdp.39015003350215	Can you have it ready by then? ” The man agreed.
mdp.39015003350215	Could n't this finger- print expert come down in person? ” “ Yes, there ’s a train at four forty, ’ ” said Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	Could n’t some one have gone down cellar then? ” “ Not very easily, for the sheriff and I guarded the place.
mdp.39015003350215	Could you prove this? ” “ I ’m not sure whether my landlady was still up when I returned or not, ” replied Briel.
mdp.39015003350215	Did he give it to you, or did you find it? ” Gypsy's brows drew together in bewilderment.
mdp.39015003350215	Did he remember you? ” “ No, he did n't remember me, so many people Mosquitoes STING I39 come and go in the daytime.
mdp.39015003350215	Did n't you notice, Mrs. Smith, how clean the cellar was?
mdp.39015003350215	Did you ever see such weather?
mdp.39015003350215	Did you know, dear, about this reward that Dr. Cadel is offering for the solution of the murder case?
mdp.39015003350215	Did you notice by any chance what time the shooting ceased? ” “ No. ” “ But one more question, Mrs. Cadel, and I will let you go.
mdp.39015003350215	Did you see any car drive out at that time? ” “ No, I was n’t around at the back of the house.
mdp.39015003350215	Did your husband? ” “ No, he was out at lodge.
mdp.39015003350215	Do n’t you go to bed early? ” The other looked sullen.
mdp.39015003350215	Do n’t you see what it is doing to poor Wal- ter? ” She put her arm about him and patted his tense shoulder.
mdp.39015003350215	Do they always commit crimes with other people's weapons?
mdp.39015003350215	Do you know how he made his escape? ” “ By the trellis, Mrs. Smith said, ” said Mrs. Wil- liams.
mdp.39015003350215	Do you know what he will do?
mdp.39015003350215	Do you leave lots of lights on till he gets back? ” The young woman laughed.
mdp.39015003350215	Even in that case, however, it could be done by an expert. ” “ It could be done? ” repeated Walter leaning over the table.
mdp.39015003350215	Feel the draft? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015003350215	First It'ink I kill her — then I think why wash my hands in blood?
mdp.39015003350215	For instance, who could have known the exact moment that the boys would be alone, in the basement?
mdp.39015003350215	Forget it! ” I could n’t type for thinking what sort of ruffians were they, anyway?
mdp.39015003350215	Funny, his coat is still on the rack downstairs. ” “ Which coat? ” I asked.
mdp.39015003350215	God, I wish I could find the murderer! ” “ What I ’m interested in just now is who fired that last shot? ” said Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	Good?
mdp.39015003350215	Had Ted sent him up for something?
mdp.39015003350215	Had you ever NIGHTFALL I8I told her about this experience when you were in the same company? ” “ She did not.
mdp.39015003350215	Have you lost your taste for that since the night of the murder?
mdp.39015003350215	He had planned nothing for the evening except a few hours at the Cadels — could he have had so much money in his dinner jacket without forethought?
mdp.39015003350215	He knows that I need a little drink now and then, just as a matter of health, but do you sup- pose that he will let me have it?
mdp.39015003350215	He turned back to say, “ Sheriff, will it be all right for Swigard and his wife to go home? ” The sheriff nodded.
mdp.39015003350215	Heaven knows it never made my blood run cold when I got “ What Is This Thing Called Love? ” three or more times in succession on the radio.
mdp.39015003350215	Her black hair hung in wisps about her lovely face — but how could I call it lovely now with that look upon it — a gleeful, un- holy look?
mdp.39015003350215	Here's another thing your husband forgot be- sides his hat and coat. ”- I88 MURDER IN THE CELLAR “ What? ” I cried, staring at him.
mdp.39015003350215	His lie — was it not also Briel ’s?
mdp.39015003350215	How are you sure that the murderer came back later? ”* But for a minute Stingley did not answer me.
mdp.39015003350215	How will that be?
mdp.39015003350215	How would I have known about any emergency cord?
mdp.39015003350215	I called the room clerk again and asked under what name the room was engaged, and when he told me I had another shock. ” “ Why?
mdp.39015003350215	I had n’t seen her in five years. ” “ Did you know Mr. Dow then, also? ” There was a moment ’s pause.
mdp.39015003350215	I know she lie. ” “ You think, Swigard, that Romas killed my son? ” asked the doctor quietly.
mdp.39015003350215	I take care Mr. Ca- del ’s house. ” “ How many revolvers or guns did Mr. Cadel have?
mdp.39015003350215	I think I am honest to the point of fanaticism, but I could n’t tell her the truth very well, then, could I?
mdp.39015003350215	I wished that some pleasant WHAT DID Gypsy KNow?
mdp.39015003350215	I6 MAN's ESTATE 17 “ Oh, for heaven's sakes, ” laughed Gypsy, “ why bother about eating again, when we ’re all so full?
mdp.39015003350215	Is he in the habit of taking mid- night walks?
mdp.39015003350215	Is n’t this a new kind? ” “ Safe as any of them, ” answered Briel.
mdp.39015003350215	Is there anything I can do for you?
mdp.39015003350215	It was only a shed, anyhow. ” “ Then you signaled a train? ” Ted nodded.
mdp.39015003350215	LADY MACBETH 117 “ Is n’t there a train back to Pittsburgh? ” asked the expert, dissatisfied.
mdp.39015003350215	Lights were on at one o'clock?
mdp.39015003350215	MURDER IN THE CELLAR “ How should I know? ” answered Ted, not looking at him.
mdp.39015003350215	Make a home of it, fill its somber walls with voices and laughter?
mdp.39015003350215	My car gone — Cartier shot — I disappear?
mdp.39015003350215	My husband already told you that he ca n't even hold a gun, let alone shoot one. ” “ How about you, Mrs. Ramsay? ” asked Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	No hard feelings, I hope? ” “ No hard feelings, ” I replied.
mdp.39015003350215	No?
mdp.39015003350215	Now where and why and what about this jaunt number two, that your husband has just engaged upon?
mdp.39015003350215	Oh, yes, and I found I had two hundred dollars in my pocket. ” “ Oh, you did? ” asked the detective.
mdp.39015003350215	One is, did you notice at any time — early or late — the sound of a car being driven in at the back? ” “ A car?
mdp.39015003350215	One is, did you notice at any time — early or late — the sound of a car being driven in at the back? ” “ A car?
mdp.39015003350215	Only it's too late now. ” “ Because you're married?
mdp.39015003350215	Only thing is, why did this person revisit the basement? ” “ Maybe he left something, ” said the assistant superintendent, smiling.
mdp.39015003350215	Or anything at all unusual? ” Mrs. Swigard shook her head.
mdp.39015003350215	Or could the voice you heard have been Mr. Smith ’s? ” “ I ’m pretty sure it was Mr. Cadel, ” said Mrs. Williams.
mdp.39015003350215	Or was it as the others thought — my lie?
mdp.39015003350215	Perhaps you picked it up in cleaning? ” Swigard ’s wife looked at the sheriff steadily.
mdp.39015003350215	Queer, is n’t it? ” I retired to my own room, and lay on the bed, still feeling rather weak and shaken.
mdp.39015003350215	Rather, first I read awhile — ” “ Name of book? ” asked the tireless Mr. Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	Say, did you notice something? ” She leaned forward, her blue eyes on mine.
mdp.39015003350215	See?
mdp.39015003350215	Shall I come up and get them? ” “ No, please do n’t, ” I begged.
mdp.39015003350215	She came back in a moment, but WHAT DID GYPSY KNow?
mdp.39015003350215	She had forgotten some- thing — was that the something that her father- in- law had suggested when he whispered in her ear?
mdp.39015003350215	So- so you comfort her for me, will you? ” I could n’t have said another word, the tears were so close.
mdp.39015003350215	Swigard had not mentioned lodge, had he?
mdp.39015003350215	Swigard work early turn and I come over and make up beds and dust. ” “ I wonder if you heard any automobile in the night?
mdp.39015003350215	Ted is n’t used to drinking and nobody knew that better than Cartier. ” 88 WHAT DID GYPSY KNow?
mdp.39015003350215	That looks pretty bad, do n’t you think? ” “ Do n’t hang the man, ” said Briel, with a quiet smile.
mdp.39015003350215	That you again, Briel?
mdp.39015003350215	That ’s all right, but whom to suspect in about four hundred miners?
mdp.39015003350215	That's Gordon's gun, and Gypsy put it there herself! ” “ Wh- what? ” asked the bewildered sheriff, spin- ning around.
mdp.39015003350215	The houseparty was arranged several weeks ago when Ted was here visiting my husband. ” “ Ted — you mean Mr. Smith? ” asked the sheriff.
mdp.39015003350215	Then there was the office gun. ” “ Did the office gun disappear? ” asked the sheriff, suddenly, to the mine superintendents.
mdp.39015003350215	There — wasn’t that an announcer then?
mdp.39015003350215	They shoot down cellar till real late. ” “ How many guns did Mr. Cadel have? ” asked the sheriff.
mdp.39015003350215	They wo n’t last forever. ” “ Did you telephone the police or the doctor? ” asked his wife.
mdp.39015003350215	Too good a coal cutter, eh? ” “ Yeh, too good, ” snarled Swigard, with a black look at the smaller man.
mdp.39015003350215	Was he in love with you? ” “ I ’ll say he was.
mdp.39015003350215	Was it prearranged?
mdp.39015003350215	Was this one of his? ” The sheriff held up the.45 that had been found beside Cartier.
mdp.39015003350215	We want to get married, do n’t we, Ted? ” and Ted kept on say- ing ‘ No. ” That's about all he could say, by now. ” Gypsy laughed.
mdp.39015003350215	Well, are you not afraid to be left alone?
mdp.39015003350215	Were you worried when I did n’t come this afternoon, or were you pleased? ” “ Oh, Ted, ” I said, remembering my state of mind.
mdp.39015003350215	What are you talking about? ” “ You know — last night, ” I said, “ when you came into my room to talk.
mdp.39015003350215	What are you trying to pin on me, anyhow? ” “ Not a thing, ” I hastened to say.
mdp.39015003350215	What can so young a girl know about love? ” She turned piteously to Dr. Cadel.
mdp.39015003350215	What date is Wednesday, Walter? ” Walter considered.
mdp.39015003350215	What did you hear? ” “ That's it, ” I answered, slowly.
mdp.39015003350215	What difference did it make?
mdp.39015003350215	What had he been doing in my room?
mdp.39015003350215	What happened? ” “ Say, introduce me to your friend, ” said Ted irritably.
mdp.39015003350215	What if it did n’t stop?
mdp.39015003350215	What was in this book that made it so entertaining?
mdp.39015003350215	What was the name of this book, please?
mdp.39015003350215	What would have been easier than for me to have kept watch for Ted, or helped him make his getaway?
mdp.39015003350215	When the cat was away the mouse would play with the cat ’s catnip, would he?
mdp.39015003350215	Where is Mr. Smith? ’ ” “ He ’s upstairs, ” I replied.
mdp.39015003350215	Where is everybody? ” “ Sh- h- h! ” said Mr. Stingley in a co- respondent I 30 MURDER IN THE CELLAR manner.
mdp.39015003350215	Where is the gang?
mdp.39015003350215	Where's Cartier? ” She called to him shrilly, and then went out, tearing off her apron as she went.
mdp.39015003350215	Where's Cartier? ” Stingley looked at me and I looked at Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	Where?
mdp.39015003350215	Who cared?
mdp.39015003350215	Who wants them?
mdp.39015003350215	Who was lying — and why?
mdp.39015003350215	Who would ever live in it now?
mdp.39015003350215	Whose was this?
mdp.39015003350215	Why all this mail? ” Ted laughed and shook his head, handing me the parcel.
mdp.39015003350215	Why did n’t we think of that? ” Walter looked at me, and then looked quickly away.
mdp.39015003350215	Why do n’t we go in the house and trace the call he made from Pittsburgh?
mdp.39015003350215	Why do n’t we search the house?
mdp.39015003350215	Why do n’t you play the radio?
mdp.39015003350215	Why had no one ever questioned Briel as to the names of the miners who were working at the mine the night of the murder — Friday night?
mdp.39015003350215	Why is it too late, and whom are you talking about? ” “ Him. ” Gypsy pointed a white fat finger toward heaven.
mdp.39015003350215	Why not come down with us? ” Dr. Cadel shook his head.
mdp.39015003350215	Why spoil it?
mdp.39015003350215	Why was it that I, only, and that, when I was busy with a radio, had been the one to feel sure when the firing had stopped?
mdp.39015003350215	Why were you up so late last night?
mdp.39015003350215	Will you type your notes, Mrs. Smith?
mdp.39015003350215	Williams, did n’t it? ” He handed a page to the sheriff.
mdp.39015003350215	Wo n't you stop and talk to the others? ” “ Stop?
mdp.39015003350215	Wo n't you stop and talk to the others? ” “ Stop?
mdp.39015003350215	Work ’s “ Auction Bridge ’? ” Mrs. Williams looked injured.
mdp.39015003350215	Yes, two in one night, ” he added, seeing Stingley's mouth open; “ quite an event, was n’t it?
mdp.39015003350215	You want sometings? ” The sheriff stood up and motioned her to his chair, and then he wandered over to the window and looked out.
mdp.39015003350215	You're not afraid, are you? ” His lips turned back in a sort of sneer as he went on with his work.
mdp.39015003350215	‘ Shall I summon the witnesses?”—Did you hear Mr. Smith ’s voice at all?
mdp.39015003350215	“ A red necklace? ” He reached into his pocket.
mdp.39015003350215	“ And Ted certainly did not want to get married, did he? ” “ Oh, he did n’t know what it was all about.
mdp.39015003350215	“ And have you, Mrs. Dow, anything to add that might help clear up this mystery?
mdp.39015003350215	“ And we can go out doors now — is it all right? ” Ted half arose, and then sat back again.
mdp.39015003350215	“ And, Mrs. Williams, did you notice when the shooting stopped? ” She shook her head in negation.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Any of the miners? ” “ No, not one, ” answered the sheriff, sinking into a deep chair gratefully.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Anyway, I get by with you, do n’t I, dear?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Are n't criminals ever obvious?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Are n’t the Cadels going to stay? ” “ Not a thing is wrong, ” said Stingley jubilantly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Are n’t you coming? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Arrested for intoxication?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Because I swear I did n’t register at that hotel, and moreover the writing is not my own. ” “ When did the clerk say you registered?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Betts, how much do you spend on your clothes, anyway? ” “ Do n’t ask, kind gent, ” I laughed.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Betts, that you? ” “ Y- yes. ” I could n’t have managed asyllable more.
mdp.39015003350215	“ But goodness, why did n’t you wire us all not to come?
mdp.39015003350215	“ But was n’t I smart to make up a new rhyme?
mdp.39015003350215	“ But what are you going to do? ” asked little Mrs. Williams.
mdp.39015003350215	“ But where did he get the coat? ” she asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ But who cares?
mdp.39015003350215	“ By the way, ” asked Stingley, “ was it you or Mr. Cadel who left the cellar door open? ” I34.
mdp.39015003350215	“ By the way, ” asked the sheriff, “ do you know of any enemies that your husband may have had?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Ca n't one of you girls cook any- thing? ” “ I suppose you mean me, ” said I, aggrieved.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Ca n't we discuss this later, Father? ” Dr. Cadel bit his lip and rose.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Cartier shot? ” he repeated.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Could you get the person you telegraphed to, to wire us regard- ing this? ” Ted looked bothered.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did he have two hats? ” “ He had a gray Fedora, ” I answered.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did n't you hear it? ” “ I certainly did, ” said Stingley from between his teeth and he whipped out a small business- like auto- matic.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did n’t you hear that report a minute ago?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did you bring that set of impressions that I told you were missing? ” “ Oh, yes. ” The man searched through the pages in his brief case.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did you get the other prints? ” I asked him.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did you tell Gypsy what happened? ” asked Gor- don.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Did you — could you say who it was? ” But I had to shake my head.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Do n’t be too startled, Ted, but Cartier — was"“ Was what? ” said Ted with a laugh.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Do you suppose it is? ” Stingley shaded his eyes with his hand.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Drunk again, eh? ” said Stingley, looking at him in scorn.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Drunk again, eh? ” said Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Eating another meal? ” he said, and laughed shrilly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Fifteen dollars — oh, Ted, ca n’t we return it? ” Ted did n't answer, still absorbed in his letter.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Gee, Felice is surely taking the old dayvil stove right by the horns, is n’t she?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Got a date? ” But as I went into the hall, the doorbell rang.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Had you been down to dinner, too? ” “ Down here?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Had you been down to dinner, too? ” “ Down here?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Hardly seemed reasonable, did it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Has Mrs. Smith found a new suspect for us? ” I ca n’t give you any idea of how hateful this man ’s personality and manner were.
mdp.39015003350215	“ He did n’t? ” Briel ’s tone was astonished.
mdp.39015003350215	“ He does n’t look like a drinking man. ” “ Does n’t he?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Hongry? ” she asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ How about a little game of ‘ Rummy ’?
mdp.39015003350215	“ How are you, how are you? ” asked the sheriff hospitably.
mdp.39015003350215	“ How could it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ How does it work? ” he asked Briel.
mdp.39015003350215	“ I am starved — is there anything to eat? ” She sat down at the table, and then got up and moved to another place.
mdp.39015003350215	“ I do n’t like that man. ” “ Why? ” I asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ I go back and feenish doing my hair and come later to get supper. ” Was it imagination, or did she cast a malevolent look upon me as she passed?
mdp.39015003350215	“ I hid this one — guess where? ” I shook my head.
mdp.39015003350215	“ I mean he registered yesterday noon. ” “ Yesterday noon? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015003350215	“ I ’ve noticed a lot, but what in particular? ” I asked, starting.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Insulting me again, are you? ” said the detective, and he thrust his thin ugly face close to Ramsay ’s.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is 138 MURDER IN THE CELLAR that all you have to say?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is Felice conscious? ” “ Yes, ” answered Gypsy, shivering.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is SwigARD ’s WIFE 243 there a train this afternoon?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is Ted here? ” she asked eagerly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is it safe?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is n't it train time? ” I demanded of the two men who were still below where I had left them.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is n't that tea made yet? ” “ I put in too little water before, and it burned, ” I said, without any hesitation.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is n’t that against the rules? ” Briel shook his head thoughtfully.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is that not so? ” Stingley nodded.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is the phone repaired? ” he called back.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is the sheriff here? ” asked he.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is the train in yet? ” she asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Is this where Cadels live? ” asked the mosquito- like one in a shrill unpleasant voice.
mdp.39015003350215	“ It was n’t anything like this, was it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ It would not be a definite hide? ” “ Oh, certainly not, ” answered the expert.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Listen, what was that? ” I whispered.
mdp.39015003350215	“ May I see them please?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Me?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Nine is one of the lucky numbers, is n’t it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Not I, ” she said, “ I ’m all in. ” Her husband looked at her intently, and then said, “ How about rehearsing our lines, Gypsy?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Now have you any ideas as to who the murderer might be? ” “ No, ” I answered, “ I do n’t know, of course.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Now tell me the whole story. ” “ Did n’t you even know your hubby had been mar- ried before? ” asked Gypsy.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Now, I wonder, were you in this house yesterday before the company arrived? ” “ Yes, in morning early.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Oh, did n’t you stay? ” she said rather disagreeably.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Oh, he had?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Oh, it is n’t that, ” she said, still red with mirth, “ only, why in the world would I flirt with Ted Smith?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Oh, it's you, is it? ” she said, upon seeing me.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Oh, you will operate the elevator? ” asked Sting- ley with a malignant glance at him.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Oh, ” she cried, seeing me, “ how can — how dare you come in here?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Ramsay, how did you spend last evening? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Rather bad taste, do n’t you think? ” he said in explanation.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Scared, eh? ” he said, pityingly scornful, and then looked off down the road to where I saw a rapidly approaching machine.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Shall I call him? ” “ Oh, do n’t bother now.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Smoke, wo n't you?
mdp.39015003350215	“ So all husbands have lodges? ” But I did not echo his laugh for my mind was too busy with assimilat- ing what the woman had said.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Some one at the door, is n't there, Mrs. Smith? ’ ” he whispered sibilantly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ That is quite a central location, is n’t it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ That was the approximate time of the murder, was n’t it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ The Dows?
mdp.39015003350215	“ The one that ’s dead — Cartier. ” “ Was Cartier — ” I gasped, “ was it Cartier who was Ted's rival at Prep school?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Then where is every one? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015003350215	“ They can tell you I did not work late Friday night. ” “ Briel, ” said the sheriff slowly, “ why did you lie about the paycheck business?
mdp.39015003350215	“ This happened when Ted was at West Point? ” I asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ This is Mr. Stingley. ” “ How do you do? ” The two men eyed each other like a couple of stray cats.
mdp.39015003350215	“ This is all, then? ” he asked Stingley.
mdp.39015003350215	“ This is strange — these are marked the same as the office money — Let's see, Mr. Smith, did you need money? ” Ted smiled grimly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Unless — didn’t Swigard bring lanterns with him? ” “ Yes, ” I said impatiently, “ but tell us about what you just said.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Want your egg sunny side up? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Was Mr. Smith in the habit of spending week- ends here in Coalville? ” “ He has spent several.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Well, that's nothing to cry about, is it?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Were you invited to supplant me — or something? ” This was n’t like Ted at all.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What business is it of yours? ” replied Ramsay, going toward him.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What day is this? ” asked Stingley, suddenly, cof- fee cup in hand.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What do you mean by a short while? ” “ Oh, ten or fifteen minutes.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What do you mean, a party? ” she asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What happened to you? ” “ I thought — maybe some one had shot you, ” I whispered faintly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What is it? ” I looked at the thick tan volume before me with great distaste.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What is it? ” called Ted's familiar voice, irritated.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What is wrong, Mrs. Smith? ” he asked, eyeing me as I leaned against the wall, one hand still on the doorknob.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What note?
mdp.39015003350215	“ What shot? ” asked Ted.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What was that? ” she said in a half whisper, as though she were afraid the sound of her voice might direct a shot toward herself.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What was the name of this station, please? ” Mosquitoes STING 137 “ I do n’t know, ” said Ted.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What — no ash- trays? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What — was Mr. Cadel upstairs then, dur- ing the target practice? ” “ No, I do n't think he was upstairs.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's happened? ” came the fussy, blessedly matter- of- fact voice of Mr. Williams.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's it all about? ” We trooped into the living room and Gordon took the floor.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's so funny around here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's so funny in that? ” I demanded as soon as she was quieter.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's that? ” he gasped.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's the hurry, Mouse? ” “ Yes, you may go, ” said the sheriff, smiling tol- erantly.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's the matter? ” asked Felice nervously.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's up? ” “ Romas still has n’t shown up, ” began the other with a worried look, but stopped at Stingley's up- raised hand.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's wrong, Mrs. Smith?
mdp.39015003350215	“ What's wrong? ” I asked the sheriff as I came upon him pacing the living room floor.
mdp.39015003350215	“ What? ” he demanded incredulously.
mdp.39015003350215	“ When did the shooting stop, for goodness ’ sake? ” asked Felice.
mdp.39015003350215	“ When did you come back downstairs, then? ” the sheriff asked Mrs. Williams.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Where am I? ” she asked in terror.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Where are these other men? ” he asked.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Where is WHAT DID GYPSY KNow?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Where would I get bail?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Where's young Smith? ” asked the sheriff, look- ing around.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Who is that in such a hurry? ” “ Perhaps it's Romas, ” I said, above the noise of the machine, for it was tooting away at a great rate.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Who remained below? ” “ Let me think.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Who shall I do first? ” he asked, after he had taken out his materials.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Why, Swigard, what have you got against Romas?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Why, nobody knows we are here, do they?
mdp.39015003350215	“ With my skirt trailing on the ground and those terrible earrings?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Would you mind if we walked about the house? ” The detective laughed.
mdp.39015003350215	“ Yes, sir. ” “ But how did you know there would be any train? ” asked the sheriff.
mdp.39015003350215	“ You are n’t keeping the secret for him, are you? ” Stingley cast him a bitter glance.
mdp.39015003350215	“ You are the early riser, are you? ” He said it as though he had been waiting to catch just such a guilty early riser, and I felt quite abashed.
mdp.39015003350215	“ You arrived late last night? ” asked the sheriff, as Ted was silent.
mdp.39015003350215	“ You know that night when you let each of us look at our own cards, and my wife and I got ours mixed?
mdp.39015003350215	“ You people were en route then, were n’t you?
mdp.39015003350215	“ You ’re not going to let what a drunken man says keep you awake at night, are you?
mdp.39015003350215	“ Your case looks queer, even sunny side up. ” “ But why was n’t the clew much of a clew? ” I asked Ted later, up in our room.
mdp.39015012355502	Ah, my dear,—- those are the friends that count Iand she nearly added,"Do n't you find it so?"
mdp.39015012355502	Ah,she said,"but the riddle is n't solved yet, Mr. Baynton, is it?"
mdp.39015012355502	And Pavely?
mdp.39015012355502	And are you finding all the money?
mdp.39015012355502	And if Godfrey died, mother?
mdp.39015012355502	And is nothing of that sort possible here?
mdp.39015012355502	And then, mother?
mdp.39015012355502	And without seeing Laura again? mdp.39015012355502 And you?"
mdp.39015012355502	And, mother —?
mdp.39015012355502	Any news?
mdp.39015012355502	Are you her confidante?
mdp.39015012355502	Are you tired? mdp.39015012355502 Aunt Letty?
mdp.39015012355502	Aunt Letty? mdp.39015012355502 But she met Pavely here?"
mdp.39015012355502	But supposing he and Godfrey do meet?
mdp.39015012355502	Can you keep a secret?
mdp.39015012355502	Can you read French?
mdp.39015012355502	Could you let me have that two hundred pounds this afternoon?
mdp.39015012355502	D'you mean the big money- lender?
mdp.39015012355502	D'you mean you'd really give me two hun- dred pounds now?
mdp.39015012355502	Did Godfrey come back last evening after all?
mdp.39015012355502	Did he go from a French port?
mdp.39015012355502	Did you make the marriage, mother? mdp.39015012355502 Different?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do they throw any light on the mystery?
mdp.39015012355502	Do you ever think of that possibility?
mdp.39015012355502	Do you feel ill, my darling? mdp.39015012355502 Do you like Jim Beath?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do you really mean that, Laura? mdp.39015012355502 Do you really think she's to be pitied, mother?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do you think we shall find anything?
mdp.39015012355502	Do you, Oliver — do you? mdp.39015012355502 Do you?"
mdp.39015012355502	Does n't Mr. Privet know where he is?
mdp.39015012355502	From something Godfrey said the other day I gather that he's really grateful to you, Oliver?
mdp.39015012355502	Gilbert Baynton — very much at your service?
mdp.39015012355502	Had n't I better call out to him? mdp.39015012355502 Has Laura told you this?"
mdp.39015012355502	Has anything gone wrong, Godfrey?
mdp.39015012355502	Has he indeed?
mdp.39015012355502	Has it ever occurred to you,he said suddenly,"that Pavely may be dead, mother?"
mdp.39015012355502	Have I, Katty? mdp.39015012355502 Have I?"
mdp.39015012355502	Have they indeed?
mdp.39015012355502	Have you any reason to suppose that Godfrey 228 Love and Hatred Pavely was really associated in business with this mysterious man?
mdp.39015012355502	Have you got a copy of the letter?
mdp.39015012355502	How can we keep Laura's name out of our discus- sion? mdp.39015012355502 How long d'you expect to be in France?"
mdp.39015012355502	How long, mother?
mdp.39015012355502	How so, Laura? mdp.39015012355502 I do n't know what you expect me to say?
mdp.39015012355502	I expect that it was you who answered the tele- phone message I sent half an hour ago, eh?
mdp.39015012355502	I felt this so strongly that the thought did actually flash across me more than once—'Is this man engaged in establishing an alibi?' mdp.39015012355502 I gather that he and Tropenell do n't quite hit it off?"
mdp.39015012355502	I gather you still see him very often when he's at Knowlton Abbey?
mdp.39015012355502	I hope Gillie has n't been getting into any scrape since you've come home?
mdp.39015012355502	I quite understand — you mean that it all began again?
mdp.39015012355502	I see,he said lightly,"you were away yourself, and probably moving about?"
mdp.39015012355502	I should have thought telephone calls quite as important as telegrams?
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose Gillie still hates Godfrey?
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose he was much the same then as later, or — or was he different then, mother?
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose the real reason he came to- day was that he's afraid to let a stranger be Laura's trustee?
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose we shall meet some time to- morrow?
mdp.39015012355502	I thought you meant to stay in England right up to Christmas?
mdp.39015012355502	I wonder if you're right, mother?
mdp.39015012355502	I wonder what he's going to talk to you about?
mdp.39015012355502	I write to know if you will allow Laura to come up to town with me for a few days? mdp.39015012355502 I've always liked playing for high stakes — you know that, eh?"
mdp.39015012355502	I've really come to ask if you know where God- frey is? mdp.39015012355502 If/ forget, will you?"
mdp.39015012355502	Is Gillie very upset? mdp.39015012355502 Is that you, Privet?
mdp.39015012355502	Is there an answer?
mdp.39015012355502	Laura wholly satisfies you?
mdp.39015012355502	Laura's child?
mdp.39015012355502	Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	Lonely?
mdp.39015012355502	May I tell my mother?
mdp.39015012355502	Mother, may I come in?
mdp.39015012355502	Mother?
mdp.39015012355502	Mother?
mdp.39015012355502	Mother?
mdp.39015012355502	Mother?
mdp.39015012355502	Mrs. Wins- low? mdp.39015012355502 Not even if I made it worth his while?"
mdp.39015012355502	Oh, then you have n't been into Laura's boudoir?
mdp.39015012355502	Oliver?
mdp.39015012355502	Perhaps Laura and little Alice will come back with you to tea? mdp.39015012355502 Perhaps you will be so kind as to make the tea?"
mdp.39015012355502	Poor devil? mdp.39015012355502 Scot- land Yard?
mdp.39015012355502	Shall I come with you, my darling?
mdp.39015012355502	Shall I wire to Oliver Tropenell that we are com- ing?
mdp.39015012355502	Sure? mdp.39015012355502 Surely the reward has lapsed now?
mdp.39015012355502	Surely you can stay for a few minutes? mdp.39015012355502 Surely you would n't be so unkind?'
mdp.39015012355502	Then do you regard response as essential in every relationship be- tween a man and a woman?
mdp.39015012355502	Then if, as is of course possible, you and I do n't meet again for years and years, am I to think of you as always going on in exactly the same way?
mdp.39015012355502	Then in my place you would do nothing?
mdp.39015012355502	Then there's no cutting the Gordian knot?
mdp.39015012355502	Then you would n't tell anybody here?
mdp.39015012355502	Then?
mdp.39015012355502	Time stood still with Godfrey too, eh?
mdp.39015012355502	To return to Laura — what should have been her fate had the gods been kind?
mdp.39015012355502	Tools?
mdp.39015012355502	Two men?
mdp.39015012355502	Was it? mdp.39015012355502 Well,"she said stonily,"what are you going to do about it?
mdp.39015012355502	Well? mdp.39015012355502 What I mean is that Laura"Tropenell stopped him with a passionate gesture:"Can not we keep Laura's name out of our discus- sion?"
mdp.39015012355502	What d'you mean exactly, mother, by different ideals of life?
mdp.39015012355502	What do you mean, mother? mdp.39015012355502 What is it you wish to say, Laura?"
mdp.39015012355502	What is your theory?
mdp.39015012355502	What led to the marriage of Laura Baynton x 62 Love and Hatred 63 and Godfrey Pavely? mdp.39015012355502 What makes you think that?"
mdp.39015012355502	What part does my fine brother- in- law play? mdp.39015012355502 What sort of an investment exactly is it?"
mdp.39015012355502	What was the message exactly?
mdp.39015012355502	What would you say, Lord St. Amant, if you and I were to go up there now, to Duke House — accom- panied, of course, by two of my men? mdp.39015012355502 What's his name?"
mdp.39015012355502	When was he here last?
mdp.39015012355502	Who was it telephoned just now?
mdp.39015012355502	Why a disappoint- ment, Laura? mdp.39015012355502 Why is it that Laura is so much fonder of you than you are of Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	Why should n't he? mdp.39015012355502 Why should n't we go in and ask Katty to come to tea?"
mdp.39015012355502	Why should n't you come up to lunch, Katty? mdp.39015012355502 Why that?"
mdp.39015012355502	Why, what's the matter?
mdp.39015012355502	Will it be all your money and my thousand 168 Love and Hatred pounds, Godfrey? mdp.39015012355502 Will that cost you seventeen thousand pounds?"
mdp.39015012355502	Will you be in to- morrow?
mdp.39015012355502	Will you come over to tea?
mdp.39015012355502	Will you go down to him, Laura? mdp.39015012355502 Will you go through the house into the garden?
mdp.39015012355502	Yes — queer, is n't it? mdp.39015012355502 Yes, Godfrey?
mdp.39015012355502	Yes, I quite understand that 138 Love and Hatred Laura would never do anything she thought wrong — queer, is n't it?
mdp.39015012355502	Yes, of course I did — you mean about Mr. Apra 238 Love and Hatred here? mdp.39015012355502 Yes,"he said, in a low voice,"the same — but nicer, do n't you think so, Alice?"
mdp.39015012355502	Yes?
mdp.39015012355502	Yes?
mdp.39015012355502	You cared for Laura's mother as if she had been your sister — didn't you, mother? mdp.39015012355502 You come too — to Mexico?"
mdp.39015012355502	You do n't feel it cold?
mdp.39015012355502	You do n't mean with Gillie there?
mdp.39015012355502	You do n't remember me?
mdp.39015012355502	You got my cable?
mdp.39015012355502	You know all about the Beath affair?
mdp.39015012355502	You? mdp.39015012355502 173 174 Love and Hatred Laura turned to the servant:Did Mr. Pavely give you any message to send on to the Bank?"
mdp.39015012355502	18?
mdp.39015012355502	196 Love and Hatred"I wonder —"Laura grew a little pink—"I won- der,"she said again,"if you know on what business Godfrey went up to town?
mdp.39015012355502	A friend?
mdp.39015012355502	A long time ago?
mdp.39015012355502	A queer chap?
mdp.39015012355502	After a pleasant journey together, as they were steaming into York station Godfrey suddenly asked:"Must you go on to your friends at once?
mdp.39015012355502	After a while Laura and Oliver slipped away into the smaller drawing- room, and Lord St. Amant and 330 Love and Hatred never to part?
mdp.39015012355502	All at once Oliver turned and said so suddenly that she, walking by his side, started:"Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	Am I the first man that has com- mitted murder,"he waited a moment—"in his heart?"
mdp.39015012355502	Am I to have all the profit, and you all the risk?"
mdp.39015012355502	Am I to understand that this suggestion has your Love and Hatred 33 approval?
mdp.39015012355502	And Godfrey?"
mdp.39015012355502	And Katty?
mdp.39015012355502	And Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	And Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	And Oliver, with"I do n't think he'll keep me long, mother; I suppose you'll still be here when I come back?"
mdp.39015012355502	And as Oliver made no answer, she went on a trifle maliciously:"I suppose you will be going off soon, too?"
mdp.39015012355502	And he had said,"Ca n't I?
mdp.39015012355502	And she answered,"It was?
mdp.39015012355502	And she forced herself to add:"Perhaps you'll be coming over this afternoon?"
mdp.39015012355502	And then Katty cut in:"You'll let me know, Laura, Avon't you, if you have any special news?
mdp.39015012355502	And then Oliver said, in a low, moved voice,"I'm afraid that this last business has made you very un- happy, Laura?"
mdp.39015012355502	And then he asked anxious- ly,"D'you see any objection to my telephoning to Messrs. Drew& Co.—they're the agents, you know?
mdp.39015012355502	And then he began, with no preamble:"I want to know if you really meant what you said last night about letting this house furryshed for a year?
mdp.39015012355502	And then rather suddenly, Laura asked a question:"How long is Oliver going to stay in England, Aunt Letty?"
mdp.39015012355502	And then, look- ing straight down into her troubled face, he asked:"Mother?
mdp.39015012355502	And then,"Tropenell?
mdp.39015012355502	And what are you thinking of doing, my dear?"
mdp.39015012355502	And what exactly did she mean by saying that it was her request, not Laura's?
mdp.39015012355502	And what was going to happen now?
mdp.39015012355502	And yet?
mdp.39015012355502	And yet?
mdp.39015012355502	And, Privet?"
mdp.39015012355502	And, hav- ing gone away for so long, why had he now come back?
mdp.39015012355502	Are you going to accept Lord St. Amant's in- vitation?"
mdp.39015012355502	At last he an- swered, very deliberately,"Is Godfrey away then?"
mdp.39015012355502	Baynton?"
mdp.39015012355502	Baynton?"
mdp.39015012355502	But I do n't see what call you have to ask me all these questions?"
mdp.39015012355502	But Love and Hatred 201 think that would make him very angry — if he's all right, I mean?"
mdp.39015012355502	But Oliver, her beloved, the only human being in the world that really mattered to her — what was wrong with him?
mdp.39015012355502	But how could they be friends if — if it was true that Oliver loved her?
mdp.39015012355502	But how on earth had he learnt all that?
mdp.39015012355502	But now Laura asked, with some eagerness,"And Gillie?
mdp.39015012355502	But was there any hope of such a thing coming to pass?
mdp.39015012355502	But what a fine, strong, vigorous- looking 356 Love and Hatred are you not, Oliver?"
mdp.39015012355502	But what made these French bankers pick you out, Godfrey?
mdp.39015012355502	CHAPTER XV WELL, my dear — any more news?"
mdp.39015012355502	Ca n't you remember anything about it?
mdp.39015012355502	Could n't you telephone to them to meet you by a later train?
mdp.39015012355502	Could she — should she believe what this man said?
mdp.39015012355502	D'you want to go in yet, mother?"
mdp.39015012355502	Did it not occur to you to let the London police know of Mr. Pavely's non- appearance?"
mdp.39015012355502	Did n't I see a letter written to her by Mr. Godfrey Pavely?
mdp.39015012355502	Did you really advise her to take that fellow?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do n't you see there must have been a postmark on the envelope?
mdp.39015012355502	Do you call that a marriage?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do you know what — what response means to a man?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do you realise that?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do you recognise that as being the body of Godfrey Pavely?"
mdp.39015012355502	Do you remember this time last year?"
mdp.39015012355502	Does proper Godfrey know?
mdp.39015012355502	Does that give you enough time?"
mdp.39015012355502	Does that mean you wish that I should give up coming to The Chase?"
mdp.39015012355502	Doing some planting?"
mdp.39015012355502	Following a sudden impulse, she, who had trained herself to do so few things on impulse, called out,"Is that you, my darling?"
mdp.39015012355502	Gilbert Baynton — Laura Pavetys brother?
mdp.39015012355502	Gillie Baynton?
mdp.39015012355502	Gillie?
mdp.39015012355502	Godfrey is an unhappy man, Oliver — come, admit that you know that?"
mdp.39015012355502	Godfrey — dead?
mdp.39015012355502	Good?
mdp.39015012355502	Had Laura flushed, as she sometimes did flush, with a deep, un- becoming reddening of her pale face, when moved or startled?
mdp.39015012355502	Had n't I better say you're here?"
mdp.39015012355502	Half ashamedly she asked herself why they should not all three go back to the happy conditions which had lasted all the summer?
mdp.39015012355502	Hanging her head as a child might have done, she said defiantly:"I suppose you're surprised?"
mdp.39015012355502	Has Oliver Tropenell seen you?
mdp.39015012355502	Have you done anything, Laura?"
mdp.39015012355502	Have you heard anything?
mdp.39015012355502	Have you news of Godfrey?"
mdp.39015012355502	Have you only just come?
mdp.39015012355502	He answered quietly,"I wonder why you feel so sure of that?
mdp.39015012355502	He declared he could n't make any one hear at the back, and so he came round to the front door — rather impudent of him, eh?"
mdp.39015012355502	He stopped short for a moment, then in a very low voice, he asked her,"Is there no way of cutting it through, mother?"
mdp.39015012355502	He ventured a question:"And the contents of the envelope?"
mdp.39015012355502	He waited a few moments, then said slowly,"I've been wondering whether you would mind going up with Laura to London for a few days?
mdp.39015012355502	He's a rather queer fish, is n't he, Godfrey?"
mdp.39015012355502	Her brother, her dear, dear Gillie, coming home?
mdp.39015012355502	Her lips formed the words:"Then — they've found him?"
mdp.39015012355502	How long in England does an unloving widow mourn?"
mdp.39015012355502	How was all this to end?
mdp.39015012355502	I sup- pose in a way I am inhuman?"
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose it's the work of some clerk whom you've dismissed in the last few weeks?"
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose you know that he and I had a row years ago?"
mdp.39015012355502	I suppose you're staying with Laura, at The Chase?"
mdp.39015012355502	I take it that he was on more confidential terms with this lady than he was with his own wife?"
mdp.39015012355502	I take it that we can be quite sure that he will do nothing mad or foolish — that he will not try to get away, for instance?
mdp.39015012355502	I won- der if you would do me the great pleasure of being there, Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	In that case I suppose we shall get all the profits?"
mdp.39015012355502	Is he much disappointed?"
mdp.39015012355502	Is he still abroad?"
mdp.39015012355502	Is priggish Godfrey jealous?"
mdp.39015012355502	It is Miss Fenton, is n't it?"
mdp.39015012355502	It's all right is n't it, Katty?
mdp.39015012355502	Katty heard Oliver Tropenell say in a low voice:"May I walk with you?"
mdp.39015012355502	Katty uttered an inarticulate exclamation — was it of surprise or of satisfaction?
mdp.39015012355502	Katty, after all, was not Godfrey's wife, or — or was it widow?
mdp.39015012355502	Later on, Mr. Privet, when he thought the inter- view over, could almost hear the voice of Sir Angus repeating slowly, inexorably:"Thursday?
mdp.39015012355502	Laura and Oliver Tropenell?
mdp.39015012355502	Love and Hatred 223 And then, when Laura had taken it out of her bag, she asked,"Where's the envelope?
mdp.39015012355502	Love and Hatred 257"Then Mrs. Winslow was Pavely's rather than Mrs. Pavely's friend?"
mdp.39015012355502	Love and Hatred 29"I suppose,"he said slowly,"that Laura is like her?"
mdp.39015012355502	May I come in?"
mdp.39015012355502	Moving a little nearer to the low chair on which she was sitting—"Yes?"
mdp.39015012355502	Mrs. Winslow had again been away, was it for four days, or five?
mdp.39015012355502	Oh, of course I know you are telling me the truth as you see it now — but, but surely, mother?"
mdp.39015012355502	Oliver muttered something — was it,"I'd give my soul to know it true"?
mdp.39015012355502	Oliver was not the man to hang up his hat in another man's house — be- sides, why should he do so?
mdp.39015012355502	Perhaps you'll be bored too?
mdp.39015012355502	Privet?"
mdp.39015012355502	Shall I send over now?"
mdp.39015012355502	She added, her false calm giv- ing way,"And to me such a bitter, bitter disappoint- ment 1""Why?"
mdp.39015012355502	She asked herself if this exalted passion could last, and whether, after all, Oliver were not happier now than he could ever hope to be again?
mdp.39015012355502	She heard Oliver exclaim, in accents at once im- ploring and imperious:"Laura?
mdp.39015012355502	She opened a door which gave out of the hall on the left, and called out,"Harber?
mdp.39015012355502	She said nervously,"Wo n't you finish your break- fast?"
mdp.39015012355502	She was grateful for the darkness, but her trembling voice betrayed her as she exclaimed,"Oliver?
mdp.39015012355502	Should she burn these too — or keep them?
mdp.39015012355502	Sir Angus took out of his pocket the two letters 342 Love and Hatred or the day after to- morrow?
mdp.39015012355502	Sir Angus went on:"D'you remember something I told you concerning Mr. Pavely's day at York?
mdp.39015012355502	So all she said, in a voice which sounded very cold to herself, was,"But that, Oliver, would surely not be fair — to you?"
mdp.39015012355502	Suddenly she heard uttered in the corridor, outside the door, the eager words,"Is Mrs. Pavely there?
mdp.39015012355502	Surely he and Oliver Tropenell, at last alone to- gether, could combine to put an end to this foolish, vulgar gossip?
mdp.39015012355502	Surely she was the first woman he had ever loved?
mdp.39015012355502	The Scotland Yard man bent forward and said something in a low voice, and the porter exclaimed, with an air of astonishment,"What?
mdp.39015012355502	Then he asked in a lower voice,"Have you said anything to her?"
mdp.39015012355502	Then he had been at The Chase yesterday?
mdp.39015012355502	Then, after a minute's pause:"Do you think Laura would mind much?"
mdp.39015012355502	Then,"I suppose you've consented to act?"
mdp.39015012355502	They looked at one another like two augurs, and he said under his breath,"Well, it's a pretty kettle of fish I've come home to, eh?
mdp.39015012355502	Though it's early for tea, perhaps you'll stay and have a cup with me?
mdp.39015012355502	Tropenell turned on him sternly:"What sort of thing?"
mdp.39015012355502	Tropenell?"
mdp.39015012355502	Two miles and a bit?
mdp.39015012355502	Vengeance?
mdp.39015012355502	Was Laura absolutely innocent?
mdp.39015012355502	Was Laura as blind to the truth as she seemed to be, or was she shamming — as women, God or the devil helping them — so often sham?
mdp.39015012355502	Was Mrs. Winslow go- ing to bring in Oliver Tropenell?
mdp.39015012355502	Was he going to say"Oliver Tropenell"?
mdp.39015012355502	Was it because he was afraid of giving himself away to his coarse- minded, jovial partner?
mdp.39015012355502	Was it her fault that Oliver Tropenell had come so to despise Godfrey?
mdp.39015012355502	Was it possible that of late Laura was deliber- ately avoiding her?
mdp.39015012355502	Was it possible, conceivable, that Katty was thinking of Jim Beath as a second husband for herself?
mdp.39015012355502	Was it true, as some of the gossips said, that he had remained a widower for that same friend's sake?
mdp.39015012355502	Was pretty little Katty a widow?
mdp.39015012355502	Was that what he said, in a very low, tense voice?
mdp.39015012355502	We were engaged in beating up the next field, when some one said,'Where is Tropenell?'
mdp.39015012355502	Well, little girl?
mdp.39015012355502	What could she be coming to say?
mdp.39015012355502	What d'you take me for?
mdp.39015012355502	What did this wonderful old man mean?
mdp.39015012355502	What do you think has happened to God- frey Pavely?"
mdp.39015012355502	What exactly was her position in the Pavely menage?"
mdp.39015012355502	What had been his and Laura's real attitude to one another during Godfrey Pavely's lifetime?
mdp.39015012355502	What is it?
mdp.39015012355502	What right had you to think me different from other men?"
mdp.39015012355502	What was it she was going to tell him?
mdp.39015012355502	What was it she was going to tell him?
mdp.39015012355502	What was it that Oliver answered then?
mdp.39015012355502	What was the handwriting like?"
mdp.39015012355502	What were their real relations the one to the other?
mdp.39015012355502	What would happen to the country if all the married people who did n't get on with one another were to separate?"
mdp.39015012355502	What's happened to Gillie?
mdp.39015012355502	Whatever is the matter?
mdp.39015012355502	Where is your hand?"
mdp.39015012355502	Who could it be?
mdp.39015012355502	Who would have thought that she would ever like any man as much as she seems to like him?
mdp.39015012355502	Why could n't she be content to stay quietly at Rose- dean?
mdp.39015012355502	Why did n't you wire?"
mdp.39015012355502	Why had he gone away just when things were looking promising?
mdp.39015012355502	Why not telephone through and say you've been delayed,—that you ca n't be at the Bank till eleven?"
mdp.39015012355502	Why should I be hypo- critical — with you?
mdp.39015012355502	Why should I be?
mdp.39015012355502	Why should n't he take you and Alice to France or Italy for a month?"
mdp.39015012355502	Why should n't she?
mdp.39015012355502	Why should n't you say any- thing you like about these people?
mdp.39015012355502	Why, Laura?"
mdp.39015012355502	Why, it must be, let me see, quite twelve years ago?"
mdp.39015012355502	Will you come too, Alice?"
mdp.39015012355502	Will you see that I'm not disturbed till I ring?"
mdp.39015012355502	Winslow?"
mdp.39015012355502	With as little or as much reason?
mdp.39015012355502	Would he go straight upstairs — as she, in her stormy, passionate youth, would have done in his place?
mdp.39015012355502	Would you care for a good long walk, eh?
mdp.39015012355502	Would you care to come into the garden for a few minutes?"
mdp.39015012355502	Yet her voice faltered in spite of herself, as she said,"Had n't we better ride round?
mdp.39015012355502	You and Godfrey have nothing in common between you, and that being so, I suppose there's nothing to be done?"
mdp.39015012355502	You ca n't be treacherous to a person who does n't care, can you?
mdp.39015012355502	You do n't mean to say the gentleman's'wanted'?"
mdp.39015012355502	You do n't respect — or even like — Godfrey?"
mdp.39015012355502	You feel quite sure about this thing, Baynton?
mdp.39015012355502	You wo n't talk again of go- ing away?"
mdp.39015012355502	You're Oliver Tropenell's partner, are n't you, Mr. Baynton?
mdp.39015012355502	You're sure?
mdp.39015012355502	You've been away nearly a fortnight, have n't you?"
mdp.39015012355502	he exclaimed,"and you've got a fire?
mdp.39015012355502	he exclaimed,"is n't all this rather — well, highfaluting rot?
mdp.39015012355502	he said to himself, but aloud he ob- served kindly:"I presume Mr. Pavely wrote to you during the early days of his stay in London?"
mdp.39015002658618	A frock- coat and a straw hat?
mdp.39015002658618	Ah, on you, too?
mdp.39015002658618	Ah, so you're chaffing me, sirrah? mdp.39015002658618 Am I to enter it by stealth?"
mdp.39015002658618	Am I to try to carry it by assault, as in the old days, at the head of a band of adventurers?
mdp.39015002658618	An express letter?
mdp.39015002658618	And Monsieur Andermatt?
mdp.39015002658618	And are those the letters which the brothers Varin had in their possession?
mdp.39015002658618	And are you going out?
mdp.39015002658618	And did he not lodge an information?
mdp.39015002658618	And did you take it?
mdp.39015002658618	And do n't you think that he would, if he had found the letters? mdp.39015002658618 And have you also the last document, which Louis Lacombe left with you, completing the plans of the submarine?"
mdp.39015002658618	And have you had a warning, like Baron Ca- horn?
mdp.39015002658618	And have you no suspicion of the reason why he shot himself?
mdp.39015002658618	And how do you account for his disappear- ance?
mdp.39015002658618	And if I do n't?
mdp.39015002658618	And if you do n't get it?
mdp.39015002658618	And it is you that are here?
mdp.39015002658618	And put out his hand?
mdp.39015002658618	And suppose Arsene Lupin slips through your fingers?
mdp.39015002658618	And the black pearl?
mdp.39015002658618	And the mysterious correspondent?
mdp.39015002658618	And the notes?
mdp.39015002658618	And the rest?
mdp.39015002658618	And then? mdp.39015002658618 And this man is not the prisoner who was given into your keeping?"
mdp.39015002658618	And what about our good King Louis XVI.?
mdp.39015002658618	And what do you conclude?
mdp.39015002658618	And who goes to God?
mdp.39015002658618	And you have another floor above this?
mdp.39015002658618	And you have no idea, not the smallest ink- ling? mdp.39015002658618 And you knew that he was Horace Velmont — I mean to say, Arsene Lupin?"
mdp.39015002658618	And you let him escape?
mdp.39015002658618	And your prison- van?
mdp.39015002658618	Are you sure it was he?
mdp.39015002658618	Be off? mdp.39015002658618 But before those two months?"
mdp.39015002658618	But by whom?
mdp.39015002658618	But how do you know all this?
mdp.39015002658618	But the hall door?. mdp.39015002658618 But what was your object in making those researches?
mdp.39015002658618	But what?
mdp.39015002658618	But where to?
mdp.39015002658618	But who is H. P.? mdp.39015002658618 But why should we not be able to conduct our own inquiry just as well as old Ganimard, Lupin's personal enemy, might do?"
mdp.39015002658618	But why that card?
mdp.39015002658618	But why this persistency?
mdp.39015002658618	But your face? mdp.39015002658618 But, in that case,"cried the judge,"who is this man?
mdp.39015002658618	But... the others?
mdp.39015002658618	By what means?
mdp.39015002658618	By whom? mdp.39015002658618 Can they have been?"
mdp.39015002658618	Catch hold of the letter H, and tell me wheth- er it turns in either direction?
mdp.39015002658618	Could that be the man's name?
mdp.39015002658618	Did you have a drink?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you hear that?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you know him?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you think so? mdp.39015002658618 Ganimard?"
mdp.39015002658618	Has he had his dinner?
mdp.39015002658618	Has his attitude towards you changed? mdp.39015002658618 Has your husband that document which com- pletes Louis Lacombe's plans and allows them to be employed?"
mdp.39015002658618	Have I nothing to say?
mdp.39015002658618	Have you a telephone, sir?
mdp.39015002658618	He has a brother?
mdp.39015002658618	Henriette? mdp.39015002658618 How can I tell?
mdp.39015002658618	How do you know?
mdp.39015002658618	How do you know?
mdp.39015002658618	How do you mean?
mdp.39015002658618	How far down?
mdp.39015002658618	How far is Monterolier?
mdp.39015002658618	How should I know?
mdp.39015002658618	How?
mdp.39015002658618	Hundred thousand spondulics?
mdp.39015002658618	I presume/'said M. de Dreux to the commis- sary, when they were alone again—I presume that you do not suspect her?
mdp.39015002658618	In his cell?
mdp.39015002658618	Is Monsieur Andermatt in? mdp.39015002658618 Is it money you want?
mdp.39015002658618	Is it possible?
mdp.39015002658618	Look here, Ganimard, confess that, a week after our interview at the Same prison, you stayed in for me, at four o'clock, as I asked you to?
mdp.39015002658618	Looks out on this yard?
mdp.39015002658618	Mine? mdp.39015002658618 Monsieur Andermatt, are those letters worth ten thousand francs to you?"
mdp.39015002658618	Monsieur Velmont? mdp.39015002658618 My watch?"
mdp.39015002658618	No nonsense, do you understand? mdp.39015002658618 No window?"
mdp.39015002658618	Nobody?
mdp.39015002658618	Oh, do you want a ladder and a lantern?
mdp.39015002658618	Oh, nothing will happen,"Well, look here, is three thousand francs enough?
mdp.39015002658618	On that evening did nothing lead you to think that you would never see him again?
mdp.39015002658618	On what do you base your conviction?
mdp.39015002658618	One thing more: your name?
mdp.39015002658618	Out of that bottle there?
mdp.39015002658618	Rather clumsy? mdp.39015002658618 So Arsene Lupin is sure of being caught?"
mdp.39015002658618	So Monsieur Andermatt knows?
mdp.39015002658618	So you expected to see him soon?
mdp.39015002658618	So you've seen him?
mdp.39015002658618	So?...
mdp.39015002658618	Spoke of it before me? mdp.39015002658618 Suppose he escapes?
mdp.39015002658618	Surely they will end by finding something?
mdp.39015002658618	The black pearl?
mdp.39015002658618	The one in a green frock- coat with an um- brella?
mdp.39015002658618	The two checks? mdp.39015002658618 Then who is he?"
mdp.39015002658618	Then... it was after he discovered the disap- pearance of the cash- box that my brother com- mitted suicide?
mdp.39015002658618	Then? mdp.39015002658618 Twenty minutes before their time?
mdp.39015002658618	Unknown to Monsieur Andermatt?
mdp.39015002658618	Was I wrong in thinking that I could rely on you to oblige me?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it there when you came here on the night of the twenty- second of June?
mdp.39015002658618	We've said all that we had to say to each other, I suppose?
mdp.39015002658618	Well what? mdp.39015002658618 Well?
mdp.39015002658618	Well?
mdp.39015002658618	Well?
mdp.39015002658618	Well?
mdp.39015002658618	Well?
mdp.39015002658618	What Russian prince, what vain and idiot Rajah, will end by becoming the owner of this treasure? mdp.39015002658618 What about yourself, governor?"
mdp.39015002658618	What are you doing, Varin?
mdp.39015002658618	What can I do more? mdp.39015002658618 What did I tell you, monsieur le baron?
mdp.39015002658618	What did it say?
mdp.39015002658618	What do you know of them?
mdp.39015002658618	What do you mean by saying you think?
mdp.39015002658618	What do you mean?
mdp.39015002658618	What do you think of it?
mdp.39015002658618	What do you think?
mdp.39015002658618	What does the window look out on?
mdp.39015002658618	What does this mean?
mdp.39015002658618	What fee will you take to spend Wednesday night at the castle?
mdp.39015002658618	What floor does she live on?
mdp.39015002658618	What idea?
mdp.39015002658618	What is it?
mdp.39015002658618	What is it?
mdp.39015002658618	What is?
mdp.39015002658618	What makes you think so?
mdp.39015002658618	What was inside it?
mdp.39015002658618	What's the good?
mdp.39015002658618	When did you see him last?
mdp.39015002658618	Where are they, Varin?
mdp.39015002658618	Where are they, Varin?
mdp.39015002658618	Where does he live?
mdp.39015002658618	Which clews?
mdp.39015002658618	Who are you?
mdp.39015002658618	Who can tell? mdp.39015002658618 Who is that?"
mdp.39015002658618	Who is this lady?
mdp.39015002658618	Who told you that we were considering the likelihood of a theft committed by this way?
mdp.39015002658618	Who?
mdp.39015002658618	Who?
mdp.39015002658618	Whom do you mean?
mdp.39015002658618	Why not?
mdp.39015002658618	Why should you?
mdp.39015002658618	Why, my dear fellow, you surely do n't think s 59 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN that I mean to rot in gaol? mdp.39015002658618 Why, was n't the necklace in the closet?"
mdp.39015002658618	Why,he asked,"should I have a definite, fixed appearance?
mdp.39015002658618	Why? mdp.39015002658618 Why?
mdp.39015002658618	Why?
mdp.39015002658618	Why?
mdp.39015002658618	Why?
mdp.39015002658618	Would she have written to thank you for the money if she had been an accomplice? mdp.39015002658618 Yes,"she said, aloud,"who is it?"
mdp.39015002658618	You have just received a telegram?
mdp.39015002658618	You would n't have me risk a life as precious 228 MADAME IMBERT'S SAFE as mine for nothing, I hope? mdp.39015002658618 You're lunching there?"
mdp.39015002658618	Your check- book? mdp.39015002658618 Your trial, your defence, your examination: is n't that enough for you to amuse yourself with?"
mdp.39015002658618	Yours? mdp.39015002658618 * 7? mdp.39015002658618 * Were Daspry and 6 Salvator'really one, as every- thing led him to presume? mdp.39015002658618 *'It's there? mdp.39015002658618 ... Is that all you wanted to know?
mdp.39015002658618	... Is there nothing there?"

mdp.39015002658618	.?"
mdp.39015002658618	.?"

mdp.39015002658618	.?"
mdp.39015002658618	121 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE Was luck about to turn against me?
mdp.39015002658618	137 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"Is there no other inlet through which it is pos- sible to enter the closet?"
mdp.39015002658618	140 THE QUEEN'S NECKLACE"How do you know?"
mdp.39015002658618	174 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"And to do that?
mdp.39015002658618	189 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"Is that your own opinion?"
mdp.39015002658618	190 THE SEVEN OF HEARTS Daspry observed her, took a few steps aside, and, returning to her:"Did you write to Louis Lacombe?"
mdp.39015002658618	191 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"In that case, if you have nothing to lose, what do you fear?"
mdp.39015002658618	200 THE SEVEN OF HEARTS"Are they there already?"
mdp.39015002658618	2164 THE BLACK PEARL"If I give you back the pearl,"he stuttered,"how much will you give me?"
mdp.39015002658618	233 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"But what about the opposition?"
mdp.39015002658618	250 THE BLACK PEARL Was it that sleeping woman that impressed him, that life so close to his own?
mdp.39015002658618	261 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"Sincleves?"
mdp.39015002658618	266 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"And if it's not there?"
mdp.39015002658618	61 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"And out of whose pocket does this come?"
mdp.39015002658618	93 THE: EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN"So it was you that were there?"
mdp.39015002658618	?|gpis very moment, when you might be looking for a clew, discovering something, you're not even stirring!"
mdp.39015002658618	A humorous revenge, what?
mdp.39015002658618	A silence followed, and Velmont sneered:"It's not as clear as daylight, is it?"
mdp.39015002658618	A silence; and then the other ventured:"So you're not giving it up?"
mdp.39015002658618	After a moment the man said:"Well, governor?"
mdp.39015002658618	After a moment's silence, Daspry asked:"This is a mere conjecture, is it not?
mdp.39015002658618	Ah, sir, did n't I tell you that he was travelling by this train?
mdp.39015002658618	Am I right?"
mdp.39015002658618	Am I to throw up the game and give up the treasures which I covet because the castle that contains them happens to be inaccessible?"
mdp.39015002658618	And by what means?
mdp.39015002658618	And for what purpose?"
mdp.39015002658618	And how did the rector find out?"
mdp.39015002658618	And how did they get out?
mdp.39015002658618	And how do you know?"
mdp.39015002658618	And look at the eyes: did he ever have those drunkard's eyes?"
mdp.39015002658618	And then?
mdp.39015002658618	And what about the twenty detectives escorting us on foot, on bicycles, and in cabs?
mdp.39015002658618	And who does not remember the catastrophe in I which all these treasures were swallowed up?
mdp.39015002658618	And who would believe this story of a guilty child?
mdp.39015002658618	And, turning to me,"Do say, Mon- sieur d'Andrezy, you're such friends with the cap- tain, have n't you heard anything?"
mdp.39015002658618	Are you sure of your servants?"
mdp.39015002658618	Besides, as Daspry said, what was she risking?
mdp.39015002658618	Besides, was she not kept under supervision?
mdp.39015002658618	Besides, was there not something perturbing in all this, something inexplicable — enough to trouble the most undaunted soul?
mdp.39015002658618	But Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015002658618	But Daspry, who had never ceased watchi her, came up to her, and said:"Will you allow me to put a few questions you, madame?"
mdp.39015002658618	But I thought the chauffeur had n't returned?"
mdp.39015002658618	But how did I come to know him?
mdp.39015002658618	But how...?"
mdp.39015002658618	But surely the two brothers were on their guard?"
mdp.39015002658618	But the explana- tion to which he refers only serves to confuse matters/'"But tell us what it is""Do you really care to hear?"
mdp.39015002658618	But the two thousand francs which Henriette received every year: is not that the best sign of her complicity?"
mdp.39015002658618	But then who, in Heaven's name, was Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015002658618	But was there no hinged pane?"
mdp.39015002658618	But what could his object be?
mdp.39015002658618	But what fact?
mdp.39015002658618	But what is the axe that turns?
mdp.39015002658618	But what possible clew could they follow up in that darkness?
mdp.39015002658618	But where?
mdp.39015002658618	But why do you ask?"
mdp.39015002658618	But why struggle against this kind of auto- sug- gestion, which is often more urgent than the most precise facts?
mdp.39015002658618	But, according to you, what became of that exemplary young man, that model son?
mdp.39015002658618	But, after all, why should n't she believe?
mdp.39015002658618	But, for the moment, a more immediate and serious care was worrying me: what was to happen next?
mdp.39015002658618	But, speaking of his face, where on earth had I seen it before?
mdp.39015002658618	By what stroke of luck did it happen to be immediately over Ludo- vic's office?
mdp.39015002658618	Can not the hands of a clock be shifted to any hour that seems convenient?"
mdp.39015002658618	Come, Gani- mard, tell me to what I owe the honor of this visit?"
mdp.39015002658618	Come?
mdp.39015002658618	Could it be there?
mdp.39015002658618	Did doors, draw- bridges, walls, so much as exist for Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015002658618	Did he have another key made for his own use?
mdp.39015002658618	Did he mean to fling himself on the permanent way?
mdp.39015002658618	Did he succeed?
mdp.39015002658618	Did it not form part of his plan to interfere?
mdp.39015002658618	Did they hide it somewhere?
mdp.39015002658618	Did you meet him?"
mdp.39015002658618	Did you write any other letters?"
mdp.39015002658618	Did* the mere bringing together of the banker and Varin appear to him enough?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you admit t;he accuracy of these facts?"
mdp.39015002658618	Do you realize all that the fact implies when a woman whom one loves casts her eyes upon one?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you really imagine that I, Ar- sene Lupin, waste my time with such childish pranks as that?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you remember that you had the honor to effect my arrest?
mdp.39015002658618	Do you stick to it?"
mdp.39015002658618	Does Monsieur Dudouis know more than I do about what concerns me?
mdp.39015002658618	Does any one know Mon- sieur Rozaine?"
mdp.39015002658618	Dreams of love and dreams more practical: why not confess it?
mdp.39015002658618	Every morning the prefect of police asked his secretary:"Well, is n't he gone yet?"
mdp.39015002658618	For it was you, was it not, who sent me that?
mdp.39015002658618	Foreigners or Rentes?"
mdp.39015002658618	Had he an object in view?
mdp.39015002658618	Had he been suborned by Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015002658618	Had only one per- son expressed a doubt, had only one person uttered this simple reservation,'But suppose it is Arsene Lupin?'
mdp.39015002658618	Had the substitution been planned in advance?
mdp.39015002658618	Had the warders made a mistake?
mdp.39015002658618	Had they themselves, in an inattentive moment, deceived by the superficial likeness, substituted this man for their prisoner?
mdp.39015002658618	Has Monsieur Andermatt said anything to you?"
mdp.39015002658618	Has he seemed to you to be brooding or betrayed any anxiety?"
mdp.39015002658618	Has monsieur come?"
mdp.39015002658618	Have I carried my little comedy of drawing- room magic too far?"
mdp.39015002658618	Have you the papers?"
mdp.39015002658618	He asked:"What is it?
mdp.39015002658618	He muttered:"When do you want it?"
mdp.39015002658618	He reflected, and then asked:"Did you know Louis Lacombe?"
mdp.39015002658618	He rose and asked:"Had the prisoner finished his lunch?"
mdp.39015002658618	He said:"Well?"
mdp.39015002658618	He skirted them, and, going up to the municipal guard who was standing sentry at the gate, raised his hat, and said:"Is this the Sante Prison?"
mdp.39015002658618	His likeness?
mdp.39015002658618	His wife asked him, eagerly:"What is it?
mdp.39015002658618	Holmlock Shears interrupted him:"May I ask you to get me a ladder and a lan- tern?"
mdp.39015002658618	How can I trace it?
mdp.39015002658618	How did they get in?
mdp.39015002658618	How did you discover that?
mdp.39015002658618	How do you explain it?"
mdp.39015002658618	How does he come to be in the dock?"
mdp.39015002658618	How is it that the mystery was never seen through?"
mdp.39015002658618	How long do you want?"
mdp.39015002658618	How much?"
mdp.39015002658618	Hullo, what's the matter now?"
mdp.39015002658618	I am going to reveal a thing to you that will strike you dumb: the Cahorn case is about to be withdrawn/'"What?"
mdp.39015002658618	I took it oiat and glanced through it:"To begin with, I see that there are only thirteen persons whose names begin with an R.""Only thirteen?"
mdp.39015002658618	I want them to be fully informed as regards that blackguard's actions/'"Shall I pull the alarm- signal?"
mdp.39015002658618	Is it likely that I should have written the letter if I could have rifled the baron without it?
mdp.39015002658618	Is the problem so complicated?"
mdp.39015002658618	Is there nothing better to be done?
mdp.39015002658618	Jump out of bed?
mdp.39015002658618	Miss Underdown asked, innocently:"But have you a wound?"
mdp.39015002658618	Monsieur Berlat, a friend of my husband's/'"But where is Arsene Lupin?"
mdp.39015002658618	My rest must begfn to- morrow/'"And where are you dining, may I ask?"
mdp.39015002658618	No one in the world, perhaps; but Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015002658618	Of what use were the most ingeniously contrived obstacles, the most skilful precautions, once that Arsene Lupin had decided to attain a given object?
mdp.39015002658618	Oh, what was happening in the frightful darkness?
mdp.39015002658618	One of them exclaimed:"But, I say, was n't Arsene Lupin seen on the coast after his famous performance in the train between Paris and Le Havre?"
mdp.39015002658618	Or would he once more baffle authority, that authority of which I was the incarnation?
mdp.39015002658618	Perhaps that was what they were reckoning on?"
mdp.39015002658618	Provoke a scandal?
mdp.39015002658618	Prudence also; for, after all, why struggle?
mdp.39015002658618	Seize a revolver?
mdp.39015002658618	She said:"Are you the gentleman that lives here?"
mdp.39015002658618	Should I get the best of him?
mdp.39015002658618	Suddenly I gave a start and, in answer to her question, I replied:"Do you see that little old man standing by the gang- plank?"
mdp.39015002658618	Suppose that you were a police commissary, and had to make an inquiry?
mdp.39015002658618	THE SEVEN OF HEARTS VI THE SEVEN OF HEARTS 1HAVE often been asked this question:"How did you come to know Arsene Lupin?"
mdp.39015002658618	THE SEVEN OF HEARTS"Well, but what happened?"
mdp.39015002658618	The article ended with this brutal implied threat] But what force did it possess?
mdp.39015002658618	The card bore the words: GEORGES ANDERMATT 37, Rue de Berry 178 THE SEVEN OF HEARTS What did this mean?
mdp.39015002658618	The judge, at first taken aback, exclaimed:"What do you mean?
mdp.39015002658618	The letters are all in relief, are they not?"
mdp.39015002658618	The locks of the doors?
mdp.39015002658618	The magistrate having bantered him on 76 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN object did he divulge them?
mdp.39015002658618	The money?
mdp.39015002658618	The only question that obsessed my mind was, would Nelly furnish it or not?
mdp.39015002658618	The question is, How was Danegre able to leave the flat?
mdp.39015002658618	The windows?
mdp.39015002658618	Then where will he hide himself?"
mdp.39015002658618	Then why was his heart beating like a mad bull?
mdp.39015002658618	Then, stopping:"What do you think of my letter to the baron?"
mdp.39015002658618	There are two mysteries: How could the thief get in?
mdp.39015002658618	There was another silence, and then Ganimard asked:"And what are you going to do now?"
mdp.39015002658618	They went up to the car, and Devanne said to the chauffeur:"Victor, who told you to come here?"
mdp.39015002658618	To ring the bell?
mdp.39015002658618	To try him would have been absurd — what charge was there against him?
mdp.39015002658618	Under what name, under what disguise was the famous Arsene Lupin lurking?
mdp.39015002658618	Unmask the villain who had robbed him?
mdp.39015002658618	Varin gave it to Daspry, who asked:"Is the check ready, Monsieur Andermatt?"
mdp.39015002658618	Victor Danegre?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it cow- ardice on my part?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it not he who had brought us together?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it not to him that I owed the right to abandon my- self to my fondest dreams?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it the excitement?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it the fatigue of a piece of work carried out in the heat of too fierce a sun?
mdp.39015002658618	Was it worth while to risk my life to save a few hangings and knick- knacks?
mdp.39015002658618	Was this enough to avouch that I had not been the sport of a dream?
mdp.39015002658618	Was this to conceal his agitation, or was he merely preparing to go to sleep?
mdp.39015002658618	Were these conventional signs, or were they marks denoting the reader's devotion to a particular book?
mdp.39015002658618	What 249 THE EXPLOITS OF ARSENE LUPIN do you want next?
mdp.39015002658618	What are you saying?
mdp.39015002658618	What are you talking about?"
mdp.39015002658618	What bird is it whose wing opens?'
mdp.39015002658618	What conclusion were we to draw from the fact that the submarine built in accordance with Louis Lacombe's plans bore the name of the Seven of Hearts?
mdp.39015002658618	What did it all mean?
mdp.39015002658618	What did she mean?
mdp.39015002658618	What did they do with the key?
mdp.39015002658618	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015002658618	What do you think, Velmont?"
mdp.39015002658618	What do you think, my dear fellow?"
mdp.39015002658618	What for?
mdp.39015002658618	What for?"
mdp.39015002658618	What frightful secret had he sur- prised?
mdp.39015002658618	What gave me that sense of oppression?
mdp.39015002658618	What had happened?
mdp.39015002658618	What had he discovered?
mdp.39015002658618	What had he seen?
mdp.39015002658618	What importance were we to attribute to them?
mdp.39015002658618	What is he sure to do?"
mdp.39015002658618	What is the good of keeping it?"
mdp.39015002658618	What line of conduct was he to adopt towards this daring individual?
mdp.39015002658618	What mystery concealed the life of this self- styled Floriani?
mdp.39015002658618	What part did they play in the drama?
mdp.39015002658618	What risk do you run?"
mdp.39015002658618	What shall you do?"
mdp.39015002658618	What vague fear compressed my throat?
mdp.39015002658618	What was I to do?
mdp.39015002658618	What was he look- ing for?
mdp.39015002658618	What was it prevented me?
mdp.39015002658618	What was the mean- ing of these thanks?
mdp.39015002658618	What was there underlying this proposal?
mdp.39015002658618	What will happen next?"
mdp.39015002658618	What's all this?"
mdp.39015002658618	What's your hurry?"
mdp.39015002658618	Where did that two thousand francs come from?
mdp.39015002658618	Where does he come from?
mdp.39015002658618	Where is it?"
mdp.39015002658618	Where should I have been without you?
mdp.39015002658618	Where was it?"
mdp.39015002658618	Whether they had this material and decisive piece of evidence against me, what cared I?
mdp.39015002658618	Which do you think we ought to sell out?
mdp.39015002658618	Who are these people?
mdp.39015002658618	Who but Rozaine answered to the description in the wireless telegram?
mdp.39015002658618	Who can tell?
mdp.39015002658618	Who could baffle Lupin's plans better than the cunning and patient Ganimard?
mdp.39015002658618	Who could have put it there?
mdp.39015002658618	Who had informed Lupin of things which nobody had ever seen?
mdp.39015002658618	Who had made the key, the indispens- able key, without which Danegre could not have double- locked the door of the flat on leaving?
mdp.39015002658618	Who had seen the murderer's knife, and what had become of that?
mdp.39015002658618	Who had seen this key, and what had become of it?
mdp.39015002658618	Who had sent it?
mdp.39015002658618	Who is to wait for him?"
mdp.39015002658618	Who was Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015002658618	Why I rather than another?
mdp.39015002658618	Why did those moments seem to me more solemn than any others?
mdp.39015002658618	Why not avoid the dangers attendant upon a personality that is always the same?
mdp.39015002658618	Why should it not be restored to the kind friend who had rescued me?
mdp.39015002658618	Why this enigmatical designation?
mdp.39015002658618	Why was I favored to the extent of becoming his biographer?
mdp.39015002658618	Why was"Salvator"not there?
mdp.39015002658618	Why were they not in their usual places?
mdp.39015002658618	Without condescending to go in pursuit, the new- comer stooped and asked:"Are you hurt, sir?"
mdp.39015002658618	Would she act as an irreconcilable foe, or as a woman who remembers, and whose contempt is softened by a touch of indulgence — a shade of sympathy?
mdp.39015002658618	Would she betray me?
mdp.39015002658618	Would she ruin me?
mdp.39015002658618	Would you take the camera?
mdp.39015002658618	Yes; but what about my robber?

hvd.hxdlgn	- “ What is it? ” Her voice was a mere toneless whisper.
hvd.hxdlgn	- “ Who lives here? ” asked the inspector, as they halted before the corner apartment on the next floor.
hvd.hxdlgn	A hat, for instance? ” “ ‘ Lost a hat! ’ ” the young man repeated, as he took the cigar.
hvd.hxdlgn	ANOTHER OF THEM| I33 have n't you? ” he asked at once.
hvd.hxdlgn	About how far down would he be flinging the rope from, Denny? ” “ The nearer the top, the more likely, ” Dennis averred.
hvd.hxdlgn	After all I have sacrificed?
hvd.hxdlgn	All ready?
hvd.hxdlgn	And have you gone through the Glamorgan like that?
hvd.hxdlgn	And what for? ” “ For my health!
hvd.hxdlgn	And what would your own opinion be, Jimmie? ” “ That I ’m wasting my time here. ” The young man slid off the table.
hvd.hxdlgn	And why had he been selected instead of Terhune?
hvd.hxdlgn	Anxious. ” The third, directed to Mrs. Lavinia Platt, is: “ Is Ivy with you?
hvd.hxdlgn	Any fellow with his muscles developed pº 274 THE CLUE IN THE AIR thought it?
hvd.hxdlgn	Are there any marks on it? ” McCarty shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgn	Are you coming down to the bar? ” “ I am not, and mind you do n’t get matching for the drinks and tell your family history, ” McCarty warned.
hvd.hxdlgn	But I ran in to- night, Mac, to ask you to a little party I'm giving to- morrow evening in my own rooms. ” “ A party?
hvd.hxdlgn	But do I ever get a bit of credit?
hvd.hxdlgn	But what if he ai n't the right fellow at all?
hvd.hxdlgn	But when he had done so, would they be any nearer a solu- tion to the initial problem confronting them?
hvd.hxdlgn	But where?
hvd.hxdlgn	But which one?
hvd.hxdlgn	But why? ” “ You can search me! ” replied Dennis, after a pause.
hvd.hxdlgn	By the way, your name is Antonio, is n't it? ” He nodded.
hvd.hxdlgn	Ca n't you ever let a chap alone?
hvd.hxdlgn	Ca n't you keep it quiet?
hvd.hxdlgn	Can you identify the woman? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgn	Could he have heard aright?
hvd.hxdlgn	Could it be mere coincidence again?
hvd.hxdlgn	Could that exceedingly frank, ingenuous young man have, after all, been connected THE MEETING AT THE BRIDGE II9 with the tragedy?
hvd.hxdlgn	Dat young lady was in trouble, Sure'nuff. ” “ Did she notice any of the other passengers? ” “ No, sir, I do n’t believe she even saw'em.
hvd.hxdlgn	Denny, where ’ve you got to? ” But Dennis did not reply.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did anything suggest itself to you, McCarty?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did he believe it himself, or was it part of a diabolical plot, a plot which reached its climax in that shattered body on the pavement?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did n't you get that?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did n't your guest, Miss Collins, tell you?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did she seem depressed? ” “ No, on the contrary.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you discover anything else? ” McCarty shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you ever see any sign of craziness on Miss Rowntree's part? ” “ I ca n't say I ever did. ” He strode to the window.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you get a slant at that register? ” “ How could I, with you on top of it?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you get a slant at that register? ” “ How could I, with you on top of it?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you get message on train?
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you know Miss Rowntree? ” “ No, but I wanted to tell him what I had heard that night — that voice calling out about a stepfather.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you read what he told the inspector, after? ” McCarty nodded.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you see and speak to your friend that night? ” Grafton Foxe rose slowly and went to his wife.
hvd.hxdlgn	Did you see him when he came in?
hvd.hxdlgn	Do n't you see those tracks through that wheat field?
hvd.hxdlgn	Do you happen to know what he did that night, sir?
hvd.hxdlgn	Do you suppose she stole them? ” “ Not shel Mrs. Doremus gave them to her.
hvd.hxdlgn	Does it look to you as if it had been planned ahead? ” asked McCarty.
hvd.hxdlgn	Doremus, where did you first meet Mr. Allen? ” “ I — I do n't remember.
hvd.hxdlgn	Elmsford, can you add anything to what McCarty here has just stated?
hvd.hxdlgn	Ever see her before? ” McCarty rapped out.
hvd.hxdlgn	For God ’s sake wire relieve anxiety. ” What caused this extreme anxiety? ” “ I should think that was self- evident, ” she shrugged.
hvd.hxdlgn	Foxe, why was your need to communicate with her so imperative?
hvd.hxdlgn	Grafton had written a sketch which was on the same bill, and that's how I met him. ” “ ‘ Cats ’? ” repeated the detective.
hvd.hxdlgn	Had he stumbled upon a more significant clue than he had dreamed of finding?
hvd.hxdlgn	Had morbid curiosity alone drawn her to the scene?
hvd.hxdlgn	Had she really been of unsound mind, or was it a long- maturing plan of his to secure a permanent control of her property?
hvd.hxdlgn	Had the crucial scene which must have preceded the tragedy been enacted in that room where he had found the paper- knife on the floor?
hvd.hxdlgn	Have a cigar? ” McCarty declined in disgust, and departed without further conversation.
hvd.hxdlgn	Have you made this connection, Bassett? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the assistant replied, as he, too, left the screened enclosure.
hvd.hxdlgn	Having corroborated that, I suppose I am at liberty to leave?
hvd.hxdlgn	He all but kissed me! ” “ And what did you do that for? ” demanded Dennis.
hvd.hxdlgn	He has great influence, he will not forge 32 I94 THE CLUE IN THE AIR “ The public? ” repeated McCarty.
hvd.hxdlgn	He would n't see the corpse, either. ” “ But why? ” McCarty's jaw dropped.
hvd.hxdlgn	He ’s the drunk ſ ” “ What drunk? ” “ The one I told you about, when I first met you on the corner.
hvd.hxdlgn	He'll do for himself if he ai n't careful one of these days! ” “ Friend of yours? ” asked McCarty quietly.
hvd.hxdlgn	He's a circus clown, is n't he? ” McCarty asked, while Dennis gave a sudden snort.
hvd.hxdlgn	How did he get in and get out, and where the devil is he now?
hvd.hxdlgn	How did you happen upon that point? ” “ Me?
hvd.hxdlgn	How did you happen upon that point? ” “ Me?
hvd.hxdlgn	How long have you known the deceased? ” “ Marion?
hvd.hxdlgn	How long have you known the deceased? ” “ Marion?
hvd.hxdlgn	However did you light on that? ” “ Mere observation once more, and a little deduction.
hvd.hxdlgn	I must believe it; I must, if I am not to go mad, too! ” “ But you are not finding it any too easy to convince yourself, are you?
hvd.hxdlgn	I think that is correct? ” “ Perfectly.
hvd.hxdlgn	I told you what the porter said; ca n't you dope it out for yourself?
hvd.hxdlgn	I want to know how Ivy Collins came to her death! ’ ” CHAPTER XXIII SEALED LIPS& g ND how did Terhune take it all?
hvd.hxdlgn	I went off for my lunch pretty soon after. ” “ And what time did this lady call to- night? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hxdlgn	I wonder if Terhune did?
hvd.hxdlgn	I wonder why she turned out the light in here and left it on in the drawing- room and hall when she went out? ” McCarty did not reply.
hvd.hxdlgn	I ’m no mind- reader. ” “ And she said nothing more?
hvd.hxdlgn	I92 THE CLUE IN THE AIR Does Mr. Quimby know what you have discovered?
hvd.hxdlgn	If only you could discover where she is-> “ Then suppose you give me the other address? ” sug- gested McCarty.
hvd.hxdlgn	If this do n't rip their tires, I ’ll shoot! ” “ How do you know they'll come this way? ” Denny asked, between crashes of glass.
hvd.hxdlgn	In Seattle, I think. ” “ You were not married then?
hvd.hxdlgn	Keeping who prisoner? ” “ Marion Rowntree, of course.
hvd.hxdlgn	Look here, inspector, what are you driving at?
hvd.hxdlgn	McCarty, why did you question my little nephew in the park this morning?
hvd.hxdlgn	Me? ” McCarty glanced up in amazement.
hvd.hxdlgn	Miss Beckwith had spoken of others who knew of her niece's mental condition; who could they be?
hvd.hxdlgn	Miss Beckwith, you want the truth, 178 THE CLUE IN THE AIR do n't you?
hvd.hxdlgn	Miss Rowntree remained in, the house until late in the afternoon? ” “ Yes. ” “ Did you observe anything unusual in her manner? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgn	Miss Rowntree remained in, the house until late in the afternoon? ” “ Yes. ” “ Did you observe anything unusual in her manner? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgn	Miss Rowntree, will you tell us your own story of that night? ” Terhune pulled forward an arm- chair and waved McCarty to another.
hvd.hxdlgn	Mr. Allen arrived at about seven and left at ten? ” She nodded curtly, her eyes snapping.
hvd.hxdlgn	Mrs. Doremus, what had that man, and you, to do with the crime? ” The woman did not answer.
hvd.hxdlgn	NShe was a child performer then. ” “ On the stage?
hvd.hxdlgn	No objection to our using your office awhile longer? ” The doctor bowed again, and taking the hint, with- drew.
hvd.hxdlgn	No offense, but I suppose you'll swear to that, if necessary? ” “ Of course, of course, ” Mr. Keeler replied hurriedly as they rose.
hvd.hxdlgn	No?
hvd.hxdlgn	Nothing apart from this in her own affairs? ” “ Certainly not. ” She moved toward the door.
hvd.hxdlgn	Now, all I want is a statement from Miss Collins, and all you want is to know where she is?
hvd.hxdlgn	Now, do you begin to understand my method? ” McCarty brought his hand down smartly on the desk- top.
hvd.hxdlgn	Now, if you'll tell me what time you came back here, from the theater? ” “ Around ten o’clock.
hvd.hxdlgn	Oh, how glad I am! ” “ It was stolen, then?
hvd.hxdlgn	Oh, if you find her, you'll let me know? ” “ I will that. ” McCarty signaled with his eye to Dennis and rose.
hvd.hxdlgn	Only the day before he left, father told Aunt Pauline he was the most com — com>> “ Competent? ” “ That's it!
hvd.hxdlgn	Or had she been driven by her own tor- turing doubts to disclose them to another and, in seeking to convince him, reassure herself?
hvd.hxdlgn	Oriel? ” he asked, with bland deference.
hvd.hxdlgn	Pad I ’ ” “ Is she — gone? ” The young man who had helped carry the girl in voiced his question in a hushed tone, but no one replied.
hvd.hxdlgn	SEALED LIPS 257 “ When did you get that, I'd like to know?
hvd.hxdlgn	Say, it'll be soon, wo n't it?

hvd.hxdlgn	See? ” “ Oh, I see right enough, but suppose the chauffeur do n't take my view of it?
hvd.hxdlgn	She arrive in ze auto, it is an hour. ” “ What's that, Girard? ” McCarty paused.
hvd.hxdlgn	She come to look at apartments. ” “ Who showed them, you or the superintendent? ” “ Me.
hvd.hxdlgn	She could n't sleep all that time, could she?
hvd.hxdlgn	She do n’t live hyar. ” “ Ever seen her before? ” The boy hesitated, beads of perspiration standing out on his forehead.
hvd.hxdlgn	She had barely time to say good- by to us and board her train. ” “ Where has she gone? ” “ To Chicago. ” “ Is that her home?
hvd.hxdlgn	She had barely time to say good- by to us and board her train. ” “ Where has she gone? ” “ To Chicago. ” “ Is that her home?
hvd.hxdlgn	She must have been overcome suddenly with madness! ” “ Is that what Mr. Quimby thinks? ” McCarty de- manded.
hvd.hxdlgn	She must have walked down the stairs, and I thought it was kind of funny — four flights. ” “ How was it you did n't see her?
hvd.hxdlgn	She said she'd call again. ” “ What apartments did you show her on this side of the house? ”- “ Not a one.
hvd.hxdlgn	Sit down, wo n't you? ” He dropped into a chair himself as he spoke.
hvd.hxdlgn	So she's to be dropped from the investigation, is she? ” “ Not while Terhune's in the game, ” the inspector re- plied grimly.
hvd.hxdlgn	Soft?
hvd.hxdlgn	Somebody hit you with a brick? ” Mike smiled faintly in acknowledgment of the pleas- antry, but the smile ended in a grimace of pain.
hvd.hxdlgn	Terhune, would you mind showing me that list of questions? ” There was a new note in McCarty's voice.
hvd.hxdlgn	The fellow who helped you carry her in — didn't he hear a word out of her? ” “ Why, does he say he did?"
hvd.hxdlgn	The fellow who helped you carry her in — didn't he hear a word out of her? ” “ Why, does he say he did?"
hvd.hxdlgn	The people in that house were all strangers to her 33 “ Are you sure of that? ” interrupted McCarty.
hvd.hxdlgn	The superintendent was busy. ” “ Did she give any name? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hxdlgn	The woman was n't stabbed, was she?
hvd.hxdlgn	The young man with the invention? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgn	Then she burst out impetuously: “ Why did you approach him at all?
hvd.hxdlgn	There's just one thing puzzles me, though. ” “ What? ” Dennis was flushed with victory.
hvd.hxdlgn	There's nothing to show they even knew her, let alone a motive; and what would she be doing there, in the first place?
hvd.hxdlgn	They beat it the minute her body hit the sidewalk! ” “ What's that got to do with it? ” “ Something, or they would n't have gone so quick.
hvd.hxdlgn	Three days ago. ” “ She was here?
hvd.hxdlgn	Tony and I used to have lots of sport, though. ”- “ Who's Tony? ” “ Father's chauffeur.

hvd.hxdlgn	Was he in town, I mean? ” “ You mean, was he near the Glamorgan, do n't you? ” The detective laughed good- naturedly.
hvd.hxdlgn	Were you wanting me? ” “ I wanted to shake hands with you!
hvd.hxdlgn	What could it have meant?
hvd.hxdlgn	What could she have meant?
hvd.hxdlgn	What could you have thought to learn from him?
hvd.hxdlgn	What did she fear for the girl?
hvd.hxdlgn	What did that mean? ” “ Why, that maybe something had happened to her. ” “ Yes, ” McCarty added grimly.
hvd.hxdlgn	What do you mean?
hvd.hxdlgn	What do you mean? ” “ I was called away — I had to run my elevator.
hvd.hxdlgn	What do you think of this mystery? ” Dennis glanced down at the paper between his knees.
hvd.hxdlgn	What do you want now? ” “ Just a word, Mr. Sturtevant, and I ’ll not bother you again.
hvd.hxdlgn	What does he look like?
hvd.hxdlgn	What does he say about it? ” “ Oh, you ca n't get near him now with a ten- foot pole. ” Jimmie veered off suddenly on a new tack.
hvd.hxdlgn	What explanation would she give of her errand?
hvd.hxdlgn	What for? ” McCarty was staggered.
hvd.hxdlgn	What happened at the afternoon session of the inquest? ” “ Nothing but more denying.
hvd.hxdlgn	What have you come to tell us? ” “ You saw Miss Collins, ” the detective repeated slowly.
hvd.hxdlgn	What if he lands me at a station- house, and has me run in for a sloping crook? ” “ In this town? ” retorted McCarty, with immense scorn.

hvd.hxdlgn	What made her pulse leap at the fifth picture, the one of the mad- woman being held by nurses, and again at the sixth, the will?
hvd.hxdlgn	What night was it? ” He turned to the landlady, unheeding her swiftly warning gesture.
hvd.hxdlgn	What shall I do?
hvd.hxdlgn	What should I be trying to worm anything out of the kid for?
hvd.hxdlgn	What should I know about the case? ” “ You are out of condition, and that ’s a fact, ” observed Dennis tactlessly.
hvd.hxdlgn	What time did you get there, sir? ” “ About seven, or a little after.
hvd.hxdlgn	What was her object in taking this journey? ” THE BROADENING TRAIL 33 “ Lord, no!
hvd.hxdlgn	What was it the inspector used to call that list of yours? ” “ My elimination chart, and a good name, too.
hvd.hxdlgn	What was it, a fight? ” “ It was murder, sir. ” The inspector faced him under the light.
hvd.hxdlgn	What was the purport of this self- sought interview?
hvd.hxdlgn	What was your maiden name? ” She wet her lips with the tip of her tongue.
hvd.hxdlgn	What're you givin'us? ” “ A cigar, then, instead, if you'll have it, ” McCarty responded, producing the article from his pocket.
hvd.hxdlgn	What's become of it? ” “ Do n’t run away with that idea, Martin, ” objected the inspector.
hvd.hxdlgn	What's happened you?
hvd.hxdlgn	What's your name and address? ” “ What for? ” the young man countered swiftly.
hvd.hxdlgn	What's your name and address? ” “ What for? ” the young man countered swiftly.
hvd.hxdlgn	Whatever were you trying to pump the kid for?
hvd.hxdlgn	When it comes to hitting the bull's- eye blindfolded, you beat any fancy shot going! ” “ And what is it now? ” demanded his friend.
hvd.hxdlgn	When she began to keep to herself last autumn, and would n't go about, we all thought it was because of an affair. ” “ A love affair?
hvd.hxdlgn	When the man was found, would he prove to have been the slayer of Marion Rowntree?
hvd.hxdlgn	Where else do you think she went, then?
hvd.hxdlgn	Where is he? ” McCarty's face went white.
hvd.hxdlgn	Where're you going? ” Dennis caught his arm.
hvd.hxdlgn	Who and what could have been “ the flying man ”?
hvd.hxdlgn	Who could have retained him to safeguard their interests?
hvd.hxdlgn	Who did she come to see? ” “ Nobody — that is, she was n't payin ’ no call.
hvd.hxdlgn	Who is he? ” “ The young man who has the apartment next to Mr. and Mrs. Foxe, on the fourth floor.
hvd.hxdlgn	Who was that man? ” She dropped her hands with a little hopeless gesture.
hvd.hxdlgn	Who was the murderer?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why ca n't we work together, and nobody the wiser? ” Mrs. Foxe sat for a long minute with her head buried in her hands.
hvd.hxdlgn	Why could n't you keep your mouth shut? ” “ Sure, ’ twas surprised I was to see you!
hvd.hxdlgn	Why did he do it?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why did it go like hell when the girl came flying out the window?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why would Mrs. Doremus take so much trouble to keep him out of it, and lie and get in Dutch about it herself if they was as innocent as she makes out?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why would he make use of an apart- ment house full of tenants on a public street? ” “ That will all be made clear, ” Terhune assured him.
hvd.hxdlgn	Why would you put it back in the box if it were not to be returned, and why return it unless it failed to fit satisfactorily?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why, then, should she hide like a crim- inal? ” “ Well”—Mrs.
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why?
hvd.hxdlgn	Why? ” “ That's easy answered, ” Dennis observed.
hvd.hxdlgn	Will you come out and tell me what this means? ” The draperies parted once more, and a very sheepish McCarty appeared.
hvd.hxdlgn	Will you shut that door?
hvd.hxdlgn	Would n't you rather know than have to just believe blindly, no matter what the outcome of it is?
hvd.hxdlgn	Would you know him again if you should see him? ” “ I just guess I would!
hvd.hxdlgn	Yes, that was mine, but is n't this drawing it rather fine?
hvd.hxdlgn	You did n't just lose it? ” “ No, indeed!
hvd.hxdlgn	You get- a de woman fall- a smash, boss? ” So the suggestion of suicide or accident had gone by the board, and murder was an accepted fact!
hvd.hxdlgn	You had dinner at the Fitz- Morris on Monday night? ” “ With Mr. Quimby, ” returned Keeler firmly.
hvd.hxdlgn	You made me think of poor Corcoran — remem- ber?
hvd.hxdlgn	You mind I told you when we started for Chicago that I meant to find Ivy Collins if she was above the sod?
hvd.hxdlgn	You mind that list I made out of what the witnesses in this case failed to do; that start of an elimination chart?
hvd.hxdlgn	You recognized her clothes, perhaps, but did you see her face? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hxdlgn	You see how simple it is, my dear McCarty. ” “ But — my trip to Ireland and the pig- headed red tape that interfered with my getting a passport?
hvd.hxdlgn	You'll be wanting me to tell you about that? ” “ If you will.
hvd.hxdlgn	You'll excuse me, wo n't you?
hvd.hxdlgn	You'll get nothing out of him. ” “ No? ” returned McCarty sarcastically.
hvd.hxdlgn	You'll see them before you leave, I promise you. ” “ However did you get them, sir?
hvd.hxdlgn	You're sure she has n’t come in yet? ” “ She ai n't coming back.
hvd.hxdlgn	You, will be merciful and keep the public from knowing that Mr. Quimby was in the house when that terrible thing happened?
hvd.hxdlgn	in cold blood and stand around like a graven image 52 THE CLUE IN THE AIR after?
hvd.hxdlgn	what have we to do with it? ” “ Mrs.
hvd.hxdlgn	‘ Twas you turned the trick, and you ought to get the credit of it! ” “ What do I want it for? ” returned McCarty quietly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Accident? ” he asked briskly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Ai n’t in for a sick spell, is he?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ And was n't they talking about the show the night be- fore, and dinner at the Fritz — something?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ And what do you think of it?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ And what was the row about; did you hear? ” The little boy glanced up again, this time in quick ap- prehension and he drew shyly back.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ And where is Tony now? ” “ I do n't know. ” The little boy's face clouded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ And you do n't know who the girl was, or how she got in, or where she fell from'You're sure it was n’t sui- cide?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Anything doing? ” His question was casually put, but behind it was a note of wistful eagerness lost on the other.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Are they heading for the coast, I wonder? ” McCarty muttered at length.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Are you sure of that, sir? ” “ Well, I did n't have subpoenas issued, ” Terhune tem- porized, smilingly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Are you sure, Mrs. Doremus?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Are you sure, Mrs. Foxe?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Been tackling the kid, eh?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ But did he?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Can you tell me, please, if a coat was found in the station here a week ago last night? ” he asked blandly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Could we disturb you, ma'am?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Denny, did you ever hear tell of a woman without curiosity?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did n't he remind you of any one you know? ” “ Mr.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did n't your father like him? ” “ I guess he did at first, but father's awful cross, most all the time.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did you get that?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did you notice the initials in that feſlow's hat — the fellow who helped you carry the woman in here?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did you speak to her? ” “ But yes.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did you want to see me? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Did your sister like Tony as well as you did? ” he asked artfully.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Do n’t you see, Mac, that screaming would draw atten- tion to the fact that the window had been closed before?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Do you mean they never looked at the body at all — not once? ” “ They did not.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Do you mean to tell me that Terhune can make any- thing out of those crow- tracks? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Do you think after trailing along through the whole case I'll be left out in the cold now?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Do you think if a man once got foot- loose from a woman like that he'd be after coming around again? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Do you want to get run down, entirely?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Does your sister come out here with you, and feed these little rascals, too? ” McCarty asked without glancing at his small companion.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Four blocks up, you say? ” “ Yes, sir; on the corner.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Give him a chance, ca n't you?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Has any one of your acquaintances a stepfather? ” “ A stepfather?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Has any one of your acquaintances a stepfather? ” “ A stepfather?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Have you any theory or suspicions? ” he demanded curtly, annoyed at being forced to frame a direct question.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Have you got an idea about it, Denny?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Have you got the man? ” Terhune frowned.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ He looks like the kind that would stand no trifling with, do n't he?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ He ’s done gone. ” “ Gone where? ” McCarty wheeled about sharply.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Himmell Votiss diss, more policers?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How did he get in and out again? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How did he get out, anyway?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How did the girl who went to Chicago get out, and Quimby, or whoever the man was who was behind the glass closet, and any one else who wanted to?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How did they take it? ” asked McCarty.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How did you people get hold of that?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How do you know it was just ten o'clock? ” Coroner Selby asked.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How many are in your family?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ How was Marion dressed?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ However did you dope that out? ” “ She ’d want to lose it as quick as she could, would n't she?'
hvd.hxdlgn	“ However did you dope that out? ” “ She ’d want to lose it as quick as she could, would n't she?'
hvd.hxdlgn	“ I do n’t know, boss. ” “ Do n’t know?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ I want to know who her sweetheart is, who is called Jack. ”- “ Which sweetheart do you mean?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ I went there to see him. ” “ What for?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ I wonder if'twas here Mike stopped two weeks ago? ” he said in a careless aside to Dennis.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ I — there was only a moment, you know, and the gates were on the point of closing — ” “ Did one word pass between you, Mrs. Foxe?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ I'd like to have a look up there right now. ” “ What is it? ” McCarty asked curiously.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ If I could only be sure — but what am I saying?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ In Quimby's house?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is it here yet? ” “ It is not.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is it out of your head you ’ve gone, entirely?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is it the air they are afraid of, on a night like this? ” mused McCarty.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is it true, what Alfred here just told us? ” she de- manded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is n't it the author- ities he should be worrying about?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is that the girl? ” asked Wade Terhune, and scarcely waiting the other's nod, he approached her.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Is there a doctor in there? ” demanded McCarty bruskly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ It was after he done cyarry that daid lady in. ” “ How long after? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ It's Mr. Terhune, is n't it? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Jumped, did she? ”; “ OUT OF THE NIGHT ” 5 “ Or was thrown, ” McCarty returned.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Mac, are you there?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Mac, what the devil brings you hanging around?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Mike who? ” the proprietor asked, with a keen glance.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ My wife dropped hers — a long tan one with a silk lining. ” “ Any name in it, or maker's tab? ” demanded the clerk.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Mystery? ” he repeated reflectively.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Now, what do you make out of that? ” “ Delirium, maybe, ” McCarty hazarded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Oh, come, Miss Wilkinson, you do n't mean to tell us you did n't glance at the envelopes? ” “ I do n't read what's not meant for me.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Oh, please, where is Dr. Elmsford?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Only, did you notice her feet?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Quite sure that she went to a certain house just by blind chance, without knowing any one there, and killed herself with no reason?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Say, Mr. Delano, have you lost anything else lately?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Shall we follow him? ” that amateur sleuth suggeste eagerly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ She admitted it? ” he gasped.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ She is here. ” “ In your shop? ” McCarty went hastily to the door and stopped.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ She might have known we could find out from the hall- boy who had called. ” “ But did you? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ She ’s a grand little kidder, but you do n't mean he fell for her? ” “ Fell hard.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ She's — dead? ” he asked haltingly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Since when are you back on the force? ” “ Since — ” McCarty pulled himself up with a sheep- ish grin.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Ter — do you mean to say, Mac, you've been hobnobbing with the like of him? ” McCarty nodded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ The park, is it?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Then why did she drop out of sight? ” retorted Mc- Carty.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ There's no other trouble, I suppose, that you're fearing for Miss Collins?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ These do n’t seem like the clothes of a servant girl, do they? ” He laid them out on the bed, and Dennis examined them gingerly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ They went out'long about eight, and the young lady, she left after you- all come. ” “ What young lady? ” “ Miss Collins, sir.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ They've given us the slip! ” “ But where'd they go to? ” Dennis's jaw dropped.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Throwing the bull in great style, was n't she?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Was anything wrong with her mind? ” Miss Beckwith bowed her head.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Was n't there?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Was she sick, then, before she went away? ” “ Father said so, but I did n't know.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Was that just a wild guess of his that the fellow was there after the girl was killed, or did he know?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Well, he found out about the man in the corner, did n’t he? ” “ He did, and it was good work.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Were you looking for me, ma'am? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What are you doing here yourself? ” retorted Mc- Carty.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What color were his eyes, do you remember? ” “ They were n't blue, like yours. ” The child stared I68 THE CLUE IN THE AIR critically.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What did I tell you?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What did she keep back? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What did you think of the inquest to- day? ” McCarty glanced up at that.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What does it mean? ” “ We have been making an examination of all the apartments, ” the inspector explained suavely.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What else did you hear from above? ” “ Oh, nothing!
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What is it that you are trying to say?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What is it? ” asked McCarty sharply.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What the devil is that? ” exclaimed Dennis.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What took you all of a sudden? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What's it to you if I did or not? ” She tossed her head.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What's that you've got there? ” McCarty held it out, without remark.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What's the good word? ” “ Denny! ” McCarty whispered and sat down heavily on the side of the cot.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What's up? ” he demanded, his breath rasping in his throat.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ What?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Whatever would Mr. Quimby say?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ When she came to, she broke down and confessed? ” “ Not so that you could notice it, ” McCarty replied grimly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Where have you been, man?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Where ’ll we take her? ” “ In here. ” McCarty indicated the apartment- house entrance.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Where's fire?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Who are you? ” “ Us? ” Dennis stepped forward before McCarty would reply, and flashed his own badge.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Who are you? ” “ Us? ” Dennis stepped forward before McCarty would reply, and flashed his own badge.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Who was it?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Who was it?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Who would want to take Marion ’s life?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Why not watch from the wings? ” suggested Dennis.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ With all those questions in your mind, you're willing to let the matter rest? ” “ But there is no question, to me.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Would any one have believed it of him?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ Would it bear the weight of him, do you think? ” “ It ’s strong enough to hold up three of him! ” declared the other.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You fellers have n’t been walking around in the sun too much, have you?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You got it the first time. ”| “ What did you make of it? ” •* s. “ What would anybody?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You got it the first time. ”| “ What did you make of it? ” •* s. “ What would anybody?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You know this woman?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You mean it?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You mean that I am to be under surveillance?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You mean that one with the window open, and the 78 THE CLUE IN THE AIR roses? ” he asked, breathlessly.
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You mind when we were up on the roof of the Glamorgan yesterday afternoon, what a high wind there was?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You saw them yourself, then?
hvd.hxdlgn	“ You — you know that? ” A faint flush appeared in the cheeks of his visitor.
hvd.hxdlgn	• Where had McCarty seen that pasty, cadaverous, deeply lined, yet oddly youthful countenance, with the enormous ears standing out on either side?
hvd.hn2ve8	'And how did you get here?' hvd.hn2ve8 'And was he not surprised to see you drop from the clouds'at this time of the year?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'Can it be a trap?' hvd.hn2ve8 'Is that quite prudent?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'On purpose?
hvd.hn2ve8	'True?' hvd.hn2ve8 'What?
hvd.hn2ve8	A bargain?
hvd.hn2ve8	A crime? hvd.hn2ve8 A plot?"
hvd.hn2ve8	A visitor?
hvd.hn2ve8	Ah I"Have you any idea what that could have been?
hvd.hn2ve8	Ah, do we know that, indeed? hvd.hn2ve8 Ah, sir I Has not that woman com- mitted a crime for which M. de Boisco- ran, though innocent, will be arraigned in court?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Ah, what does the money matter? hvd.hn2ve8 Ah, why?
hvd.hn2ve8	All?
hvd.hn2ve8	Alone?
hvd.hn2ve8	Am I at liberty,asked M. de Bois- coran,"to write a few lines to my father and my mother?
hvd.hn2ve8	Am I not one of the hospital physi- cians? hvd.hn2ve8 An inquiry founded upon what?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And Jacques,Dionysia asked eager- ly —"how did he look?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And Jacques?
hvd.hn2ve8	And M. de Boiscoran has a copy of Cooper's novels in his prison?
hvd.hn2ve8	And Miss Chandore?
hvd.hn2ve8	And all that appears quite natural to you?
hvd.hn2ve8	And all that is for me?
hvd.hn2ve8	And also because you miss Valpin- son?
hvd.hn2ve8	And as I kept silent for some time, she asked me coldly, —'Well?'
hvd.hn2ve8	And as she looked around with all the signs of genuine fear, I answered, —'And what do you fear?
hvd.hn2ve8	And did you have time to look at the gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	And even if I, your friend,con- tinued M. Magloire,"should believe you, how would that help you?
hvd.hn2ve8	And father?
hvd.hn2ve8	And has he never mentioned the lady again?
hvd.hn2ve8	And how did he behave?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if I did not save him? hvd.hn2ve8 And if I were to beg you, Dionysia, instead of commanding?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if all hope fails?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if the countess should not be guilty?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if you could do so to- morrow?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if you saw her portrait?
hvd.hn2ve8	And is that a good deal?
hvd.hn2ve8	And last night, how was it?
hvd.hn2ve8	And my father? hvd.hn2ve8 And next day,"he said,"when I am back, how will you explain that hole?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And now,he went on,"what other evidence remains there?
hvd.hn2ve8	And now?
hvd.hn2ve8	And of what, little one?
hvd.hn2ve8	And she?
hvd.hn2ve8	And she?
hvd.hn2ve8	And that is your plan?
hvd.hn2ve8	And the count's room,asked Jacques,"where is that?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And the countess?
hvd.hn2ve8	And the countess?
hvd.hn2ve8	And the countess?
hvd.hn2ve8	And the fire?
hvd.hn2ve8	And the person?
hvd.hn2ve8	And then you went to bed?
hvd.hn2ve8	And then?
hvd.hn2ve8	And these same trees prevented the sound of the two shots fired at Count Claudieuse from reaching your- ear?
hvd.hn2ve8	And unknown to the prosecution?
hvd.hn2ve8	And what did he say?
hvd.hn2ve8	And what did you see?
hvd.hn2ve8	And what do you think, sir?
hvd.hn2ve8	And what does he say?
hvd.hn2ve8	And when do you think it came to an end?
hvd.hn2ve8	And when had he gone out?
hvd.hn2ve8	And when he had kindled the fire,said the magistrate again,"what did he'do next?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And why did you not refuse? hvd.hn2ve8 And why did you want to kill the count?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And why?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you did not recognize him?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you did not speak?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you own it still?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you refuse to aid me in estab- lishing his innocence? hvd.hn2ve8 And you saw nothing?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And you think that is natural?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you think you can defend me, you think you can save me, without tell- ing the truth?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you think you have more in- fluence over him than his mother?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you will be able to make it all out?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you,he said,"you call me so?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And your aunts?
hvd.hn2ve8	And, if you let an innocent one be condemned, what would that be?
hvd.hn2ve8	And, in order to be avenged, she at- tempted to murder her husband; eh?
hvd.hn2ve8	And, lowering her voice, she added, —'Can I forget you?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are the children also to perish? hvd.hn2ve8 Are you going up to see the poor man, doctor?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you never alone with M. de Bois- coran?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you not expected to be there?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you not the count's physician?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you quite sure it was he?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you quite sure of that?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you quite sure?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you sick?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you surprised to find me so well informed? hvd.hn2ve8 At Count Claudieuse's?"
hvd.hn2ve8	At this hour?
hvd.hn2ve8	Because, for the first time in her life, I am not doing what ray grand- daughter wants me to do?
hvd.hn2ve8	But after that,he asked,"when you left the house?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But ca n't you be quiet?
hvd.hn2ve8	But did you ever see this lady?
hvd.hn2ve8	But do you not see that Anthony evidently thinks our son is guilty?
hvd.hn2ve8	But how, if Cocoleu refuses to talk after the witnesses have been intro- duced?
hvd.hn2ve8	But sir—"And what does Cocoleu depose?
hvd.hn2ve8	But still—"And what did he say, after all?
hvd.hn2ve8	But suppose he never went there?
hvd.hn2ve8	But then,she repeated, almost pant- ing,"is it true, can it really be true, that you think I have committed it?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But what is to be done?
hvd.hn2ve8	But what is to be done?
hvd.hn2ve8	But where is your husband?
hvd.hn2ve8	But who did it? hvd.hn2ve8 But you saw how he was dressed: you can give me a description?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But your liberty?
hvd.hn2ve8	But, if you were so well off at Val- pinson, why did you set it on fire?
hvd.hn2ve8	By me? hvd.hn2ve8 By whom?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Can I do otherwise in my position? hvd.hn2ve8 Can he have an alibi?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Can it be possible, sir, that you be- lieve the words of that idiot?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can you hear the Brechy bells from here?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can you show me the gun he took with him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can you?
hvd.hn2ve8	Could not father leave his collec- tions for a few days? hvd.hn2ve8 Could there have been two murder- ers?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Did he ever have one?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did he have a gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did he take his gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you cross the Seille marshes?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you find any thing there?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you hear him say so?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you love her?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you not see just now how I carried on the inquiry? hvd.hn2ve8 Did you see it commence?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you speak to him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do n't you believe him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do n't you know that he is idiotic?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do n't you see?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you begin to see now that M. Folgat was right when he said the case was far from being so clear as you pre- tended?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you expect she will do it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you know where he went?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you know who he is?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you remember, doctor,he said,''the day we were questioning little Mar- tha, she said she was terribly frightened by the statues in the garden?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think Cocoleu is lost? hvd.hn2ve8 Do you think I would be here, if he thought you were guilty?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think the jury would credit allegations which M. Magloire did not credit? hvd.hn2ve8 Do you think you are the only one in this country who has a gun by this maker?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Does he still own the house in Vine Street?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does she know any thing?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does the woman think Jacques is guilty?
hvd.hn2ve8	Escape?
hvd.hn2ve8	From whom?
hvd.hn2ve8	Goadar?
hvd.hn2ve8	Good or bad?
hvd.hn2ve8	Has Jacques written to you about the matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	Has any thing new been discovered?
hvd.hn2ve8	Has he told you what he proposes to do?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have I brought about this catastro- phe?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have I not paid you as much as your place is worth?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have the doctors decided that he is not an idiot?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have we any bad news?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have we not the railway?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you a permit, ladies?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you ever spoken of that to the priest?
hvd.hn2ve8	He 1 A man who has no sense? hvd.hn2ve8 He did not appear to you different from usual?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He had no other relatives in this country?
hvd.hn2ve8	He would give me his house in Vine Street?
hvd.hn2ve8	He?
hvd.hn2ve8	Heard nothing?
hvd.hn2ve8	Horrible? hvd.hn2ve8 How am I to go about to let M. de Boiscoran have your note?
hvd.hn2ve8	How are you, little Martha?
hvd.hn2ve8	How can Iever sufficiently thank you, sir?
hvd.hn2ve8	How could I help knowing him, when I lived all my life here at Boiscoran in the service of master's uncle?
hvd.hn2ve8	How could I want to offend you, when I ask of you more than my life? hvd.hn2ve8 How could he confess when he is innocent?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How did he do it?
hvd.hn2ve8	How did he spend his evenings?
hvd.hn2ve8	How did it commence?
hvd.hn2ve8	How did you go about to find it out?
hvd.hn2ve8	How do I know? hvd.hn2ve8 How is the count?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How much do I have?
hvd.hn2ve8	How was he dressed?
hvd.hn2ve8	How was that?
hvd.hn2ve8	How, then, did the countess become aware of the accident?
hvd.hn2ve8	How? hvd.hn2ve8 How?"
hvd.hn2ve8	I can not, I must not, escape I"You refuse me, Jacques?
hvd.hn2ve8	I can not?
hvd.hn2ve8	I explained to her the difficulties I had met with on my way there; and then I asked her, —'But where is your husband?'
hvd.hn2ve8	I went to hand M. Gransiere the let- ler which you gave me for him—"What did he say?"
hvd.hn2ve8	I?
hvd.hn2ve8	If I offered you fifteen'thousand?
hvd.hn2ve8	If he is so dear to you, how could you dare read the letter he had written to Dionysia?
hvd.hn2ve8	If he is so dear to you,broke in Miss Adelaide,"why do n't you set him free?"
hvd.hn2ve8	If she had an accomplice?
hvd.hn2ve8	If you were going there, what road would you take?
hvd.hn2ve8	In gold?
hvd.hn2ve8	In other words, he has to be believed on his own word?
hvd.hn2ve8	In that case, there would have been premeditation,he objected;"and how, then, came the gun to be loaded with small- shot?"
hvd.hn2ve8	In which he tells you he is coming up?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is Jacques dead?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is he here?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it a serious fire?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it possible?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it possible?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it really true,he said with an air of assumed pity, —"is it really true, what they tell me, that this unlucky mistake was made by you?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it such a terrible secret?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is not the way much shorter through the forest?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is that enough?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is there a human being in this world,he said,"whose misfortunes equal mine?
hvd.hn2ve8	Jacques, M. de Boiscoran, do you forget that ypu have given me your word of honor?
hvd.hn2ve8	Let us see,said M. Seneschal:"what is burning?"
hvd.hn2ve8	M. Goudar, madam?
hvd.hn2ve8	M. de Boiscoran has set Valpinson on fire?
hvd.hn2ve8	M. de Boiscoran?
hvd.hn2ve8	Madam I"You would let an innocent man be condemned, when by a single word you could remove the mistake of which he is the victim? hvd.hn2ve8 May I see?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Must I tell you again and again,he said,"that every thing is on fire, — barns, outhouses, haystacks, the houses, the old castle, and every thing?
hvd.hn2ve8	My son's situation appears to you very serious, sir?
hvd.hn2ve8	Never mind'te what was he doing here?
hvd.hn2ve8	Now will you go to Boiscoran?
hvd.hn2ve8	Now, my friends,said M. Galpin,"which of you has found this cartridge- case?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Now,said the magistrate again,"if fire should break out at Valpinson, would you see it from here?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Of course you have the title- papers?
hvd.hn2ve8	One more hope gone?
hvd.hn2ve8	Perhaps he went to Brechy to see a friend?
hvd.hn2ve8	Perhaps he would not do it, because he is a nobleman, and because he is rich?
hvd.hn2ve8	Perhaps you wish to speak io me alone, sir?
hvd.hn2ve8	Proof of what?
hvd.hn2ve8	Really?
hvd.hn2ve8	Shot? hvd.hn2ve8 Sir?"
hvd.hn2ve8	So that you do not know what your master may have done?
hvd.hn2ve8	So that you have heard nothing? hvd.hn2ve8 So that you must, as a matter of course, have been at a spot where such a car- tridge- case as this has been found?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Still,continued M. Folgat,"after this information, what did M. de Bois- coran do?
hvd.hn2ve8	Still,he said,"if we could bring in- fluential men to help us?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Suppose he did not see anybody there? hvd.hn2ve8 That is not your final decision, my dear Goudar?"
hvd.hn2ve8	That man who had escaped from jail?
hvd.hn2ve8	The doctor has told you what the state of Cocoleu's mind is?
hvd.hn2ve8	The first time I saw her again, I asked her, —'What are these numbers?'
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he has explained?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then how does she explain it to her- self that I am not set free?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then it is perfectly notorious that he is imbecile?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then what kind of a man is he?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then you confess?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then you think, that, in spite of the charges brought against him, we must believe in his innocence?
hvd.hn2ve8	Thenshe asked,"you think M. de Boiscoran is not much overcome?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then, he is really dead?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then, my little one,insisted Dr. Seignebos,"you are quite sure your mamma was in your loom when the first shot was fired?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then, pray tell me all you know of the sad events of to- night?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then, what do you call the act of that miserable man who meanly, disgracefully robs another man of his wife, and palms off his own children upon him? hvd.hn2ve8 There is nothing to hope from her, then, no pity, no remorse?"
hvd.hn2ve8	They have had great difficulties be- tween them?
hvd.hn2ve8	They have water enough,replied the peasant,"but no engines: so what can they do?
hvd.hn2ve8	This fact about the gun will save him, wo n't it?
hvd.hn2ve8	To whom?
hvd.hn2ve8	Tome?
hvd.hn2ve8	Traces?
hvd.hn2ve8	Trumence?
hvd.hn2ve8	Trumence?
hvd.hn2ve8	VVho, then, could be guilty?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was he any better,asked the doc- tor,"when he denounced M. de Bois- coran?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Was it proper when I came and spent a night here? hvd.hn2ve8 Was there any thing else?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Well, at least Cocoleu is willing to repeat his evidence?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well, ave we going down now?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well, doctor,he asked,"first of all, have you any objection to my question- ing your patient?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Well, gentlemen,he asked,"what have you resolved?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Well, sir, have I not told you before that I have seen a hundred times children pick up these cases to play with? hvd.hn2ve8 Well, then?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Well,said M. Daubigeon,"what do you think of that?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Well?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well?
hvd.hn2ve8	Were you asleep when the fire broke out?
hvd.hn2ve8	Wh ere is Anthony?
hvd.hn2ve8	What I Is he going to be exam- ined?
hvd.hn2ve8	What Icried Dionysia,"you have a letter for me, and you do n't give it to me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What am I to do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What are they?
hvd.hn2ve8	What are you thinking of, dear child?
hvd.hn2ve8	What can the old man suspect?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did I say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did I say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did I tell you?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did he do after he came home?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did he do before he went out?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did you do then?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do his counsel say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you expect?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you know about it?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you mean to do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you mean?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you propose telling her?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you propose to do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you want me to do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you want of him at this hour, when all honest people are* in bed?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you want with so much money? hvd.hn2ve8 What does it matter?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What does the doctor say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What for?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is his name? hvd.hn2ve8 What is his name?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What is his name?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is it now?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is the matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is the matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is to be done?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is to be the future of the human race? hvd.hn2ve8 What is your opinion?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What must we do with him?
hvd.hn2ve8	What prisoner?
hvd.hn2ve8	What said the countess when she recovered her consciousness?
hvd.hn2ve8	What sum? hvd.hn2ve8 What then?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What time was it?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would be the result of such a step?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would the public think if they heard all of a sudden that you had with- drawn? hvd.hn2ve8 What, Martha?
hvd.hn2ve8	What, again?
hvd.hn2ve8	What, at this hour?
hvd.hn2ve8	What? hvd.hn2ve8 What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What? hvd.hn2ve8 What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What? hvd.hn2ve8 What?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	When did you last fire this gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	When did you last wash your hands?
hvd.hn2ve8	When did you see him?
hvd.hn2ve8	When?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where are you going?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where can they be going?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where has he been put?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where is it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where is the magistrate?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where is your brother going?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where was the religious ceremony to take place?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where was your wedding to be?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where were you going?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where? hvd.hn2ve8 Which?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who came here to see him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who do you think will believe such an absurd story? hvd.hn2ve8 Who knows?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who knows?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who, then?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why did you not give warning?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why did you not say so at once?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why dou't you say at once, my mother, that Jacques is an incendiary and an assassin?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why have they left you alone?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why not?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why not?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why not?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why not?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why not?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should the gendarmes take you again?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why so?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why so?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why will you tell me a falsehood?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why, sir, why, should I not be deeply, passionately, interested in any thing that regards the man who is to be my hus- band?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why,he said,"what is the matter, my dear friend?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Why? hvd.hn2ve8 Why?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Will they really give it to me?
hvd.hn2ve8	Will we not summon her anyhow?
hvd.hn2ve8	Without hope?
hvd.hn2ve8	Would it at least be possible to plead in behalf of M. de Boiscoran a difference in time? hvd.hn2ve8 Would it be cowardly?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Would it be worth while,he mur- mured,"to be acquitted on such terms?
hvd.hn2ve8	Would you recognize her?
hvd.hn2ve8	Would you recognize him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Xow, my dear sir,said the prisoner,"you will render me a service, will you not?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Yes, my sister: why?
hvd.hn2ve8	Yes; but there are no merry evenings here, Trumence, eh? hvd.hn2ve8 You are aware that they are on bad terms?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You are not sick, my dear young lady'? hvd.hn2ve8 You are quite sure of what you say?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You are sadder than usual: why are you so?
hvd.hn2ve8	You are sure he can not get up?
hvd.hn2ve8	You brought her, however?
hvd.hn2ve8	You can not really believe that M. de Boiscoran is guilty?
hvd.hn2ve8	You come from Valpinson?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not doubt my word, M. Blan- gin, do you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not doubt your master?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not know that he had any lady friend?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not really mean to examine him?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not say so? hvd.hn2ve8 You do not think I would let you go off with empty pockets?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not think she will deny it to my face? hvd.hn2ve8 You had not seen the murderer?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You have been successful, have you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You have found Suky?
hvd.hn2ve8	You have no suspicion?
hvd.hn2ve8	You have surely heard that I am to be married to M. de Boiscoran?
hvd.hn2ve8	You know him?
hvd.hn2ve8	You know me, do n't you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You love him very dearly, do you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You must be sorry you are no longer there?
hvd.hn2ve8	You permit me to accompany you, I hope?
hvd.hn2ve8	You refuse me, when I swear to you that I will join you, and share your exile? hvd.hn2ve8 You think, as M. Folgat does, that every day adds to the danger to which he is exposed?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You took your gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	You want him to be punished, do n't you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You will not have pity?
hvd.hn2ve8	You wo n't help them in the vintage?
hvd.hn2ve8	You would make a great sacrifice for my benefit 1"For yours? hvd.hn2ve8 You would not go across the marsh?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You would really do that?
hvd.hn2ve8	You,he said;"but the others?
hvd.hn2ve8	'''And you were afraid?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'''From whom?'
hvd.hn2ve8	''And when you were told that a crime had been committed?"
hvd.hn2ve8	''And who tells you that Count Clau- dieuse does not know all, and wants to save his wife, and ruin rde?
hvd.hn2ve8	''And, without giving me time to reply, she asked, —"'Where are my letters?'
hvd.hn2ve8	''But what reasons does he give?''
hvd.hn2ve8	''Do you really wish to make my prison hours a thousand times harder than they are?
hvd.hn2ve8	''I think I can even now see the look in her eyes as she said, —"'I fear nothing in the world — do you hear me?
hvd.hn2ve8	''W'ould he make friends also at the bar?"
hvd.hn2ve8	''Was I really free?
hvd.hn2ve8	''Why not?
hvd.hn2ve8	''You did not ask him even what those improbable facts were?"
hvd.hn2ve8	'- Is it not enough?"
hvd.hn2ve8	'-'Are we not going to see Jacques again?"
hvd.hn2ve8	'Did you know this cross- road?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'Had I not to see you first?
hvd.hn2ve8	'Have I ever left any thing to chance?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'Where were you,'they ask me,'at the time of the murder?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'Why, is it you, sir?'
hvd.hn2ve8	'Will he not wonder at your ab- sence?'
hvd.hn2ve8	*'Jacques,"said the marquis,"the Countess Claudieuse hints, as you say, that one of her daughters, the youngest, is your child?"
hvd.hn2ve8	-"And upon the strength of the senseless words of a poor imbecile I am charged with incendiarism, with murder?"
hvd.hn2ve8	-'A gendarme?"
hvd.hn2ve8	-'Involuntarily, you mean?"
hvd.hn2ve8	15 be based upon this grave and all- impor- tant point?"
hvd.hn2ve8	171"Who could imagine such a thing?
hvd.hn2ve8	187 and which had blackened your hands so badly?
hvd.hn2ve8	199"Would it be such a very great sacri- fice?"
hvd.hn2ve8	33 found, he showed it to M. de Boiscoran, and asked him, —"Do you recognize this?"
hvd.hn2ve8	55 they would be back for dinner, and that they need not be troubled about them?
hvd.hn2ve8	61"And you were not surprised at the name he mentioned?"
hvd.hn2ve8	85 « Who wants me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	>'But surely, my dear child, Jacques told you — you — something more pre- cise?"
hvd.hn2ve8	A bitter smile rose on M. de Boiscoran's lips, as he said, —"And you too, my old friend: you think I am guilty?"
hvd.hn2ve8	A charge has been brought against me, and you, M. Galpin, come to my house to examine me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	A hundred Napoleons?
hvd.hn2ve8	A man must have a home, affections which the world acknowledges'—"'And I,'she broke in;'what am Ito you?'
hvd.hn2ve8	AVhat do you want?
hvd.hn2ve8	AVhat should I say?
hvd.hn2ve8	AVould your fate appear less cruel to you, if there were two victims instead of one?"
hvd.hn2ve8	AYhy did he not explain at once?
hvd.hn2ve8	After a few moments he turned to his young colleague, and asked him, —"Have you any plan?
hvd.hn2ve8	After having asked him his name, his first names, and his age, M. Galpin said, —"What do you know?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Ah I if M. de Boiscoran had nothing to lose I But do you know among all your friends a happier man than he is?
hvd.hn2ve8	Ah, why did not Goudar commence his experiment a little sooner?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Alas, what have I to pardon?
hvd.hn2ve8	Although he saw very well the doctor's drift, M. Folgat started: ip, —"What?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Am I not free to let the prisoners go?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Am I not here?'
hvd.hn2ve8	And Dionysia?
hvd.hn2ve8	And I am innocent I What more could be done if I were a mur- derer?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And after a moment she said again, —"'Well, and when is the wedding?'
hvd.hn2ve8	And did you not also tell me that the wedding- day was fixed?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And do you think they will survive my condemnation?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And does that profession also prevent you from giving us that letter after having read it?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And how should I ever have dared to doubt?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if I should be mistaken?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if a dozen cartridges were burnt?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if he found neither potatoes in the fields, nor apples in the orchards, what could he do but climb a fence, or scale a wall?
hvd.hn2ve8	And if, instead of gathering proof of his innocence, I should only meet with more evidence of his guilt?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And immediately she drew M. de Chandore aside into one of the little card- rooms adjoining the parlor, and asked him, —"Grandpapa, am I rich?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And is this what is in store for us old people?
hvd.hn2ve8	And now are you ready to tell the truth with regard to that business which prevented you from spending the evening with your betrothed?
hvd.hn2ve8	And on what pretext?'
hvd.hn2ve8	And repeating with crushing irony the words just uttered by the countess, he said, —"If you are innocent, who, then, could be the guilty man?
hvd.hn2ve8	And suppose Jacques is guilty, and, when he sees you, confesses his crime, what then?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And then I, old man, was left alone with that child; and who knows but she may have in her the germ of the same disease which killed her mother?
hvd.hn2ve8	And then, who would be in a bad box?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And then?
hvd.hn2ve8	And this Jacques de Boiscoran — if he were guilty, after all?
hvd.hn2ve8	And to come to such an abortive story —- was that the reason of his obsti- nate silence?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And what is the end and aim of all your crimes?
hvd.hn2ve8	And what will happen then, if he is in court?
hvd.hn2ve8	And what would become of me if I should lose my place?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And when the two shots were fired, where was the countess then?
hvd.hn2ve8	And when they reached it, out of breath, and perspiring, after having made two or three miles at double- quick, they found what?
hvd.hn2ve8	And who could help it in your place?
hvd.hn2ve8	And whom did he want to hit?
hvd.hn2ve8	And yet, if the Countess Claudieuse and M. de Boiscoran are both innocent, who is the guilty one?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And you call yourself impar- tial?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And you expect, that, holding a weapon in his hand, he should not use it'?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you think it quite natural that the old lovff should make a footstool of her love and her honor for the new love?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you would see him with quiet conscience mount the scaffold?
hvd.hn2ve8	And you,'she said after a short pause, —'are you happy?'
hvd.hn2ve8	And, as he made no reply, she repeat- ed, —"Where are you going?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And, besides, would the exposure do me any harm?
hvd.hn2ve8	And, breaking out all of a sudden, he cried, —"Af tor'all, sir, what do you want of me?
hvd.hn2ve8	And, in a tone of offensive iron}', he added, —"No doubt another story of adultery; eh?"
hvd.hn2ve8	And, in fact, whom does he meet?
hvd.hn2ve8	And, overcome by the terrible reality of M. Folgat's apprehension, he added, —"How can we get out of that?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Answer frankly, What did you do last night?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Anthony, what can you let us have?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Are not my opin- ions more radical even than those of M. de Boiscoran?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are these our chil- dren?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are those the clothes which you wore the evening of the crime?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are we really so stupid and bereft of common sense?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you afraid?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you in earnest, Trumence?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you no longer the man whose marvel- lous eloquence is the pride of our country?
hvd.hn2ve8	Are you quite resolved to see the Countess Clau- dieuse?"
hvd.hn2ve8	As if the question had been addressed to some one else, he said cold- iy,-"Will you please show us your hands, sir?"
hvd.hn2ve8	As soon as the wandering minstrel had left them, he asked his young colleague, —"You know that individual?"
hvd.hn2ve8	As soon, therefore, as Anthony's breath gave out a moment, he said, —"Why did you not come and tell me all that immediately?"
hvd.hn2ve8	At last M. Dau- bigeon asked, —"Well?"
hvd.hn2ve8	At last he asked, trembling, —"What do you want me to do, ma- dam?"
hvd.hn2ve8	At last he thought of one reason for refusing, and stammered out, —"And if I were found out?
hvd.hn2ve8	At the risk of ruining myself?"
hvd.hn2ve8	At what time was he seen to come to this place?
hvd.hn2ve8	Besides, if I had really been at Valpinson, why should I deny it?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Between that cleaning and the time when you set a cartridge on fire, in order to burn the letters of the Couutess Claudieuse, did you fire your gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	But Dionysia went on speaking in a firmer voice, —** Did you think I would be mean enough to forsake the friend who is betrayed by everybody else?
hvd.hn2ve8	But I pretended not to hear her; and, turning still to Martha, I asked again,'And it was this gentleman who frightened you so?'
hvd.hn2ve8	But after that?
hvd.hn2ve8	But are they clean?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But do you think what life would be after a condemnation?
hvd.hn2ve8	But go on, sir?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But how could he allow his betrothed to see his despair?
hvd.hn2ve8	But how would that help us?
hvd.hn2ve8	But how?
hvd.hn2ve8	But is not all passion ab- surd and insane?
hvd.hn2ve8	But is that any- proof against me?
hvd.hn2ve8	But the commonwealth attorney made him a sign to keep quiet; and, turning again to the girl, he asked, —"And the visitor?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But the magistrate did not seem to hear his words; and, turning to Cocoleu, he asked him, in a deeply- agitated tone of voice?
hvd.hn2ve8	But the magistrate remonstrated, —"You do not mean to reproach me, sir, for having followed the impulses of my conscience?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But the silence is so deep, that when the president asks him the usual question,"Do you swear to tell the whole truth?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But was not Jacques de Boiscoran's reputation as a man of honor also above all doubt?
hvd.hn2ve8	But what better can be found?
hvd.hn2ve8	But what do you think of Jacques?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But what is fire in my house in comparison with the ruin of all my faith?
hvd.hn2ve8	But what is to become of me when you are married?'
hvd.hn2ve8	But what would have happened if I had listened to you?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But when she has comprehended it?
hvd.hn2ve8	But where?
hvd.hn2ve8	But why should he say so, since all inquiry was prohibited, and a single imprudent word might ruin everything?
hvd.hn2ve8	But why, then, did you say it was M. de Boiseoran who shot the count?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But will they accept it?
hvd.hn2ve8	But will we know it?
hvd.hn2ve8	But will you ever forgive me for having made you come to a place like this, untidy and ugly, without the fatal poetry of horror even?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But, as soon as she came to, she exclaimed, —"Am I mad to give way thus?
hvd.hn2ve8	But, father, do you really think so?
hvd.hn2ve8	But, interrupting the quotation, M. Galpin asked his clerk, —"Well, what else?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But, then, how can M. Galpin prove the guilt?"
hvd.hn2ve8	But, then, would she confess?
hvd.hn2ve8	But.Jacques went on, —"Was this threat of the countess meant in earnest?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can I offer you one?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Can I tell it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can I undo the three state- ments made by the witnesses, and con- firming so strongly the suspicions aroused by the first charge?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Can one and the same person be at once so unusually clever and so unusually stupid?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can that be done?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can we prove that?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can you not com- prehend that such a suspicion is quite sufficient to imbitter a whole life, to ruin the life of that girl?
hvd.hn2ve8	Can you understand that?
hvd.hn2ve8	Certainly a hundred Xapoleons are not to be despised; but what would they do for me if I were turned out?
hvd.hn2ve8	Claudieuse, to tell me what your rela- tions are to M. de Boiscoran?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Cocoleu not idiotic?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Come, answer me and confess, that it occurred to you too soon after all, since you have carried it out?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Could I really be sared?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Could I tell the doctor so?
hvd.hn2ve8	Could you at- tach any weight to his word?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Could you not believe me a few days more?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Did Coeoleu follow him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did Dionysia herself come and suggest to him that act of supreme de- spair, from which his counsel had so strongly dissuaded him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Did I not tell you in my letter from Jersey that I was sure of suc- cess?''
hvd.hn2ve8	Did M. de Bois- coran keep a mistress?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Did he make the difficulties out greater than they really were?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did he understand her?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did he want to extort more money?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did they expect a protest, an answer, any thing at all?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you never think of the grief Count Claudieuse would feel if he should learn the truth?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you not see how white she looked, and how faint her voice was?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you not tell me tllat Jacques is in love with that little Dionysia Chandore?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you see me start when Cocoleu first mentioned M. de Boiscoran's name?
hvd.hn2ve8	Did you think of the immense variety of fire- arms, French and English, American and German, which are nowadays found in everybody's hands?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do n't you know at whose house you are making such a row?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do n't you know who I am?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do n't you see that it is a ques- tion of life and death?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do they release M. de Bois- coran on that account?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do we know any thing of M. de Boiscoran's temper at that time?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you believe the statement made by M. de Boiscoran?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you deny it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you doubt my word?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you fear that my grandfather or my aunts might keep me here in spite of myself?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you find that his stomach is big and pendent, that his hands drop upon his thighs, that his legs are awkward, and the joints unusually large?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you hear?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you know that you are accusing a man of a horrible crime?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you know what brought her here?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you know what has happened at Valpinson?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you not feel, that, in order to escape from one crime, you are committing another which is a thousand times worse?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you not see that I know every thing, and that I have guessed what they have not told me?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you not see that I love Dionysia as woman never was loved before?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you really think, that, in spite of his habitual imbecility, he may have glimpses of sense?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you recognize it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you recollect the morning after your uncle's death, when you, now a rich man, proposed that we should flee?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you recollect what happened the other night at Valpinson?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you see him there in his bed, wounded, and covered with blood?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you see the countess, how she suffers?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think I am a child, from whom the truth must be con- cealed, or so feeble and good for nothing, that I can not bear my share of your troubles?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think that a demand for a change of venue would prevent M. Gal- pin from carrying on his proceedings'?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think that if to- morrow somebody accused me of having robbed the till of some shopkeep- er, I would take the trouble to defend myself?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think they confess?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you think we should be the first to act thus?
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you want me to set them all free?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Do you want to deprive me of my last remnant of strength and of courage?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does M. de Bois- coran take either of the two?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does any- body know why one day we have sunshine in our hearts, and another day dismal clouds?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Does he think I am guilty?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Does his deformed head sway from side to side, being too heavy to be supported by his neck?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does it depend on me to set aside Cocoleu's accu- sation, however stupid, however absurd, it may be?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does it follow that I hold him responsible for his actions?
hvd.hn2ve8	Does the costume which you describe correspond with those clothes?
hvd.hn2ve8	Dr. Seignebos bent down to kiss her rosy cheeks, and then, looking at her, he said, —"You look sad, Martha?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Dr. Seignebos returned a most ironical bow, and then asked, —"Is there really only one door in the chateau at Valpinson?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Even if he had succeeded, what would have become of him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Evidently M. de Chandore had been hoping for something more; for he inter- rupted her, asking, —"And the marquis?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Far from it: he said in the quietest tone, —"To be sure; but how?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Folgat?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Folgat?"
hvd.hn2ve8	For your sake?
hvd.hn2ve8	God be thanked, you are safe I""Who knows?
hvd.hn2ve8	Good housewives in the country would, it is true, greet him with a"Well, what do vou want here, good- for- nothing?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Had I a right to take him into Miss Dionysia's secret?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Had Jacques confessed?
hvd.hn2ve8	Had he really done harm to Jacques de Boiscoran, while he meant to help him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Had he really offered such a toast?
hvd.hn2ve8	Had not I been charged by you yourself, M. Galpin, with keeping watch over M. Jacques?
hvd.hn2ve8	Has anybody been hurt?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Has he a large flat face, disproportionate mouth, a yel- low, tanned complexion, thick lips, defec- tive teeth, and squinting eyes?
hvd.hn2ve8	Has he not done wonders already?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Have they not received their well- known pun- ishment?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have we any.means to prove that his obstinacy in not replying to any ques- tions arises from his fear that his answers might convict him of perjury?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you full confidence in him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you never heard your wife speak of me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you never told yourself that such a'doubt inflicts a more atrocious punishment than any thing you have yet suffered?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you no longer confi- dence in me?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you really no confidence in me any longer?
hvd.hn2ve8	Have you taken too much wine?
hvd.hn2ve8	He asked, —"And the day after, when they came to arrest you, what was your first im- pression?''
hvd.hn2ve8	He asked, —"Do they accuse any one?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He asked, —"My dear Anthony, did M. Galpin take all of your master's cartridges away with him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He cried, —''Unhappy man i How can you dare accuse the Countess Claudieuse of such a crime?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He had put his immense broad- brimmed hat on the table, and, looking around the room at all the sad faces he asked, —"And you have no news yet?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He had taken the hand of the great advo- cate of Sauveterre, and, pressing it con- vulsively, he went on, —"You will save him, Magloire, wo n't you?
hvd.hn2ve8	He is the man I'"And could you hesitate after such evi- dence?
hvd.hn2ve8	He said at once, —"You told me in this very place, that, if I wished to escape, Hlangin would fur- nish me the means, did you not?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He said he had gone to Brechy to see his wood- merchant"—"And why should he not?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He said, —"What I You know his name?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He smiled; and, looking at the young advocate, he said, —"But why all these preliminaries?
hvd.hn2ve8	He stammered, —"Cocoleu?
hvd.hn2ve8	He stopped her by a threatening ges- ture, and cried, —''Are you always the same?
hvd.hn2ve8	He was knocking fiercer and fiercer, when at last Anthony's voice was heard from within, —"Who is there?"
hvd.hn2ve8	He went on, —"Friends?
hvd.hn2ve8	He would say in reply, —"Whose fault is it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Hence, when he saw him come up very respectful, and cap in hand, he asked, —"What is it, Trumence?"
hvd.hn2ve8	His voice, however, betrayed him as he asked Trumence, after a solemn pause, —"Why did you not come and tell us all that at once?"
hvd.hn2ve8	His way for a quarter of an hour is the same as the woman's: does he keep her company?
hvd.hn2ve8	How can I defend myself?
hvd.hn2ve8	How can I move you?
hvd.hn2ve8	How can we unmask her?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How can you doubt me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How could I recognize my man in that vagabond costume, with a violin in his Jiand, and a provincial song set to music?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How could an outsider guess what book the correspondents have chosen?
hvd.hn2ve8	How could he ever say so?
hvd.hn2ve8	How could he overcome such wise con- clusions and such excellent reasons?
hvd.hn2ve8	How could the officers help accusing our Jacques if his own mother suspects him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How could you think of her in the midst of all your anxieties?
hvd.hn2ve8	How do I know what I said?
hvd.hn2ve8	How do I know?
hvd.hn2ve8	How do you know but he would be the very first to blame you cruelly for such a step?"
hvd.hn2ve8	How was he the day before the fire?"
hvd.hn2ve8	However powerful his memory may be, how can he recall an answer which he may have given weeks and weeks before?
hvd.hn2ve8	I calculate, I bargain?
hvd.hn2ve8	I do not know if I express myself clearly?"
hvd.hn2ve8	I presume that is quite a large sum, and it would be rather diffi- cult for you, grandpa, to get it together by to- morrow morning?"
hvd.hn2ve8	I said to myself,'What can this be?'
hvd.hn2ve8	I should endure three months more of this anguish which tortures me?
hvd.hn2ve8	I should have com- mitted such a fearful, cowardly crime?
hvd.hn2ve8	I will ask you only one question:'Yes or no, do you believe in M. de Boiscoran's innocence?'"
hvd.hn2ve8	I, I ask you how the most cruel enemy could have acted more atrociously?"'
hvd.hn2ve8	I, at least, I have to make amends for a great wrong; but she — Great God, why did I ever come across her path?"
hvd.hn2ve8	I?
hvd.hn2ve8	If I make him a sign, I fear he will not understand me; and, if I make him a sign, will not M. Galpin see it?
hvd.hn2ve8	If he did, why did he not summon Cocoleu?
hvd.hn2ve8	If he really saw M. de Boiscoran set the house on fire, and hide himself in order to murder me, why did he not come and warn me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	If his judgment was too forcibly controlled by his counsel, he would have had a right hereafter to say,"Why did you not leave me free to choose?
hvd.hn2ve8	If it is not I who fired at Count Claudieuse, and set Valpinson on fire, who is it?
hvd.hn2ve8	If the accused had well- founded objections'to the magistrate, why did he not make them known?
hvd.hn2ve8	If you are innocent, who, then, could be the guilty man?"
hvd.hn2ve8	If you are innocent, why not explain the matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	Immediately?"
hvd.hn2ve8	In this state of weakness?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Indignation gave Jacques strength to reply, —"Whom else should I accuse?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is he not innocent?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Is his body deformed, and his spine crooked?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it a warning?'
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it even likely?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it not evident that he is innocent?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it not evident, that, if I had been guilty, my first effort would have been to put every evidence of my crime out of the way?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is it possible?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Is not that quite natural?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is not the story of all of us women the same?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is that admis- sible?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is that likely?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is that possible?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is that so?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Is that what you want?
hvd.hn2ve8	Is there one among you who would dare assert that the terrible excitement of this poor man has not restored to him for a time the use of his reason?
hvd.hn2ve8	It is a treacherous, dishonest weapon, to be sure; but have I been frank and honest?
hvd.hn2ve8	It was more than three years since they had seen each other; and how often had they seen each other then?
hvd.hn2ve8	It was very hard not to cry out to M. Jacques and the countess,'You poor people, do n't you see that the count is there?'
hvd.hn2ve8	It would be a mean, ignoble vengeance, you will say; but what was the offence?
hvd.hn2ve8	Jacques has not con- fessed?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Laying aside the dish which he was examining, he said with an anxious voice, —"What is the matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	Let us see, on Thursday — are you free then?
hvd.hn2ve8	M. Folgat slapped Michael amicably on the shoulder, and said, —"But you, if you choose?
hvd.hn2ve8	M. Galpin had sunk into a chair: he stammered, —"Did anybody ever hear such a thing?"
hvd.hn2ve8	M. de Boiscoran came home late last night?"
hvd.hn2ve8	M. de Boiscoran must have had powerful reasons to de- prive himself of the pleasure of spend- ing the evening with Miss Dionysia?"
hvd.hn2ve8	M. de Boiscoran sprang up as if moved by a spring, and said, —"What?
hvd.hn2ve8	M. de Chandore was so struck by this, that he asked, first of all, —"What is the matter with you, my good Anthony?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Magloire?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Magloire?"
hvd.hn2ve8	May I look at it?
hvd.hn2ve8	May I not know what you are going to do in that time?"
hvd.hn2ve8	May diminishing her exquisite beauty, the I beg you will be more explicit?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Might it open a door for reconciliation?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Must I not know every thing that happens in my jail?
hvd.hn2ve8	Must I remind you of the torture this man suffers, whom they charge with being an assassin?
hvd.hn2ve8	Must I tell you what horrible anguish we suffer, we, his friends, his relatives? — how his mother weeps, how I weep, I, his betrothed!
hvd.hn2ve8	Must he not fancy himself despised and abandoned?
hvd.hn2ve8	N"And you call this a legal inquiry?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Need I stoop to assure you that I am innocent?
hvd.hn2ve8	On what pretext could we ask for it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Once free, and Diouysia by my side, what cared I for the world?
hvd.hn2ve8	Or if any one came and wanted to see you while you are gone?
hvd.hn2ve8	Or if they saw you come back again?
hvd.hn2ve8	Or was this the last outburst of passion at the moment when, the last ties were broken off?
hvd.hn2ve8	Ought he not, on the contrary, do every thing to re- assure her?
hvd.hn2ve8	Our letter to Miss Dionysia. — why do you refer to that?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — And for such a visit you took your gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — And on your return, why did you go through the forest of Rochepom- mier?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — And that operation blackens the hands?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — And thus you get a light?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — And you think it a plausible one?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — And, when Count Claudieuse re- fused, you were incensed?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — But it was known all over the country that you hated him?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — But now?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — But you very soon found out that you were in danger?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Did you not write to your be- trothed a few hours before the crime was committed?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Do you also recognize this basin?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — How long a time was there be- tween the first and the second shot?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — In the marshes?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Is that your explanation?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Then, why were you so fright- ened upon meeting young Ribot at the Seille Canal?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Was that time enough to dis- tinguish the murderer?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Were you not soon to be mar- ried?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — What did you write to her?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — What is the matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — What was that business?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — What were your relations with Count Claudieuse?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Why did you not tell the truth then?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Why did you tell a falsehood?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Why were you so reticent in your first examination?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — Why, then, did you take such pains to explain your being there?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — You can tell us, no doubt, how he was dressed?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — You have heard of what crimes you are accused?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — You know that the priest of Brechy was dining out that day?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — You see that you hoped to meet no one?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — You told him, also, that you were going through the marshes to shoot birds, and at the same time you showed him your gun?
hvd.hn2ve8	P. — You were seen in the forest by a woodcutter, called Gaudry?
hvd.hn2ve8	Perhaps that is rather much?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Perhaps?
hvd.hn2ve8	Rather discour- aged he, asked once more, —"After all, my dear Anthony, this great love- affair of your master's has come to an end?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Repairs?
hvd.hn2ve8	Science has reached that point, has it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Shall I advise him to send for the magis- trate, and to confess it all?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Shall I send for my carriage?"
hvd.hn2ve8	She cried, —"What will become of us?"
hvd.hn2ve8	She looked at me with a strange air, and asked me, after a moment's hesitation, —"'Are you serious?
hvd.hn2ve8	She threw her head back, and with half- closed eyes, bending with her whole person toward him, she said in melting tones, —"Say, Jacques, will you?
hvd.hn2ve8	She told you to do it, did she?"
hvd.hn2ve8	She turned deadly pale; a spasm of rage convulsed her features; and draw- ing back, stiff and stern, she said, —"What else do you want?"
hvd.hn2ve8	She went on ask- ing, —"What do they call here to be well off?"
hvd.hn2ve8	She went out hastily, and, as soon as she had disappeared, Jacques asked Dionysia, —"How much have you paid Blangin so far?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Should he adopt the views of his coun- sel, employ subterfuges and falsehoods?
hvd.hn2ve8	Should he follow his first im- pulse, tear the veil aside, and proclaim the truth?
hvd.hn2ve8	Should we be compelled again, like the year before, to resort to these perilous trips to Fontainebleau?
hvd.hn2ve8	Still you are at law with him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Suddenly M. Galpin asked, —-("Are we not getting near?
hvd.hn2ve8	Suppose it was only a pretext to satisfy Ribot's imperti- nent curiosity?"
hvd.hn2ve8	That poor epileptic idiot whom the Countess Claudieuse has picked up?"
hvd.hn2ve8	That was more certain of success; but to be successful in this way — was that a real victory?
hvd.hn2ve8	The doctor jumped up, and in a mo- ment his hat on his head, and stick in hand, asked, —"Where is he?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The magistrate went on, —"You confess, then, that last night, between ten and eleven, you were at Val- pinson?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The man obeyed: and immediately a youthful, hearty voice replied from within, —"Who is there?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The old servant ventured to shrug his shoulders slightly, and replied, —"How could I?
hvd.hn2ve8	The prosecution will say,'If that is the truth, why did not M. de Boiscoran say so at once?
hvd.hn2ve8	The rascals who have formed this abominable plot against Master Jacques are capable of any thing, do n't you think so?
hvd.hn2ve8	The walls| summoned to trial, and that he may be were wainscoted with beautiful woods, condemned?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The young advocate employed the ut- most caution in preparing them for the truth; but at the first words Dionysia asked, —"Where is Jacques?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The young girl drew back, and stam- mered with an air of utter bewilder- ment, —"You do not want to flee?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The young lawyer started, and asked, —"Since when are you here?"
hvd.hn2ve8	The young lawyer stopped him by a friendly gesture, and said, —-"If I were to offer you ten thousand francs?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Their burning desire to know was thus combined with vague terror; and, when they got back to their room, the younger asked, —"Did you see?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then bending over Dionysia, so that she felt his breath in her hair, he said, —"And when he can not, when he can- not, establish his innocence?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then changing his tone, —"And Dionysia?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he added in a louder voice, —''And you do not think all this very strange, very extraordinary?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he asked sudden-"How far is it from here to Valpin- son?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he asked, —"And what would you do in my place?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he asked, —"How was M. de Boiscoran dressed?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he goes on, —"But what need is there of such ques- tions after the crushing evidence of Count Claudieuse?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he said, laughing scornfully, —"Ah, these are your orders, are they?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then he thought of going back there?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then the priest at Brechy was your friend?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then — why should I not confess it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Then, drawing M. Folgat aside, he asked, —"What is the matter, pray?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Then, pressing the hands of his counsel, he added, —"And you, my friends, how shall I ever express to you my gratitude?
hvd.hn2ve8	There is not one who does not exclaim, —''AVhat, I said that?
hvd.hn2ve8	They asked each other,—-"AA7hat can Miss Dion3-sia have to say to brother?"
hvd.hn2ve8	They have not killed him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	They have paid me for my place, have not they?
hvd.hn2ve8	They have put the gendarmes on his track; but will they catch him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	They would always reply,'If M. de Boiscoran is innocent, why does he not speak?"'
hvd.hn2ve8	They would surely not quarrel at the bedside of a dying man?
hvd.hn2ve8	This being granted, what is to be done?
hvd.hn2ve8	This fire will probably ruin us; but what mat- ters that, so long as my husband and my children are safe?"
hvd.hn2ve8	This was a new light for M. Galpin: suddenly changing the form of his inter- rogatory, he asked Cocoleu, —"Where did you spend the night?"
hvd.hn2ve8	This was the work of an instant; and, as soon as he had reached the ground, he turned round, and asked, —"Well, and what do you think of my garden?"
hvd.hn2ve8	WTho knows but you have been followed?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was he once more giving himself up to that fatal idea of suicide?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was it not I who opened and locked his door, who took him to the parlor, and brought him back again?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Was it possible?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was it really a love- match, as people called it at Sauveterre?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was not I, so to say, under- jailer?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was she deceived?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was she thus to let her opportunity slip, — an opportunity such as she had never dared hope for?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was that really his mother, — that thin old lady with the sallow complexion, the red eyes, and trembling hands?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was the chain really broken?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was there a man upon earth who could receive a more glorious proof of love and devo- tion?
hvd.hn2ve8	Was this, as he says, the Countess Claudieuse?
hvd.hn2ve8	We had gone quite far already; and the question was, Shall we go on without smoking, or return?
hvd.hn2ve8	We must find out the in- cendiary; we must I You want it to be done, do n't you?
hvd.hn2ve8	Well, how did he get here?
hvd.hn2ve8	Were you really fired at the moment you showed yourself at the door?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What am I accused of?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What are the great obstacles in the way of progress?
hvd.hn2ve8	What are the wounds in my body in com- parison with that wound in my heart, which never can heal?
hvd.hn2ve8	What can have happened to him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What could have been his feelings during the twenty- four hours which had brought him no news from his friends?
hvd.hn2ve8	What could the two old ladies want of him?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did I care for your threats or for his hatred?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What did he tell you?
hvd.hn2ve8	What did they say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do I say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you desire?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you think of that, gentlemen?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you wait for?
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you want me to confess?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What do you want of me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What does Mrs. Courtois say?
hvd.hn2ve8	What does he tell you?
hvd.hn2ve8	What does it matter whether he be innocent or guilty, since Dionysia loves him?
hvd.hn2ve8	What does it say?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What does that matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	What does that matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	What else can be found?
hvd.hn2ve8	What evi- dence has he to offer of his innocence?
hvd.hn2ve8	What had he to do with politics to drag them into the affair?
hvd.hn2ve8	What happened last night at Count Clau- dieuse's house?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What has become of him?
hvd.hn2ve8	What has hap- pened?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What have you to fear?
hvd.hn2ve8	What hindered him?
hvd.hn2ve8	What idea was that, Genevieve?
hvd.hn2ve8	What is it?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What mean those cries of horror which suddenly rise on all sides?
hvd.hn2ve8	What more could he have said or done?
hvd.hn2ve8	What must I do?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What must we do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What pretext will you plead for your sudden appearance at Boiscoran?'
hvd.hn2ve8	What should he do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What was he doing there?
hvd.hn2ve8	What was he doing this for?
hvd.hn2ve8	What was his desperate purpose that he should have come to such a decision?
hvd.hn2ve8	What was the motive?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What were M. de Boiscoran's habits when he was here?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What will be his fate on the day when M. Jacques's innocence is established?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What will be the charge in court against you?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would I do?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would all these people say, who have heard Cocoleu's deposition, and the evidence given by the witnesses, if the inquiry were stopped?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would become of him then?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would happen then?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would have been the purpose in such a crime?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would you do if this poor fellow should make a formal charge against any one?
hvd.hn2ve8	What would you do?"
hvd.hn2ve8	What would you do?'
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	What?
hvd.hn2ve8	When Dr. Seignebos saw this, he exclaimed, —"What do you mean, friend Magloire?
hvd.hn2ve8	When he heard the sand grate under the footsteps of the new- comer, ho turned his head, and at once said, —"Why, M. Folgat?
hvd.hn2ve8	When her grandfather be- came silent, she said, —"But if I must?"
hvd.hn2ve8	When her husband reproached her thus, she rose, pale, with swollen eyes and distorted features, and said in a piercing voice, —"What?
hvd.hn2ve8	When people met in the streets, they simply asked, —"What are they doing now?"
hvd.hn2ve8	When the lawyer had finished, he simply said, —"Well?"
hvd.hn2ve8	When was he seen returning home?
hvd.hn2ve8	When you faced the Prussians, did you ever think of blowing out your brains?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where are they when their son, victimized by unheard- of fatality, is struggling in the meshes of a most odious and infamous plot?
hvd.hn2ve8	Where does the mud come from with which they are cov- ered?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Where should I go when I have not a cent?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Where was I?
hvd.hn2ve8	Which of us knows the real truth?
hvd.hn2ve8	Which of us was right?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Which science?
hvd.hn2ve8	While she was wiping the chimney, and trimming the wick, she asked her brother, —"Are you not going to the Orpheon?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who am I?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who can prevent me from seeing my patient?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who could tell us that?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who does he think will believe that story?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who had started this paper?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who knows but behind one of these trees there may be eyes even now watching us?'
hvd.hn2ve8	Who knows but he dreams he is free, and in his beautiful chateau?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who knows if she might not give us the means to escape from the trial, to avoid such exposure?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who knows what he may not have discovered since we left him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who tells us that Count Claudieuse will really give evidence?
hvd.hn2ve8	Who would believe me, if you, my friend, can not believe me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Who would pity them, besides?
hvd.hn2ve8	Whv did he not I come down?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why did she not come to you when she found that you were in prison, and falsely accused of an abominable crime?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Why did she not come with you?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Why do you affect this gayety and tranquillity, which are so far from your heart?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why do you think it so improbable and impossible that the Countess Claudieuse should have betrayed her duties?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why else should his family be so very anxious to see him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why might not one of you gentlemen make the attempt?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Why might not they come some night, and break the seals?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why not get a house in a remote quarter of town?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should I not carry out my plan?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should he not?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should we be so sad?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should we not find this Suky Wood, whose birth- place and family we know, and who has no reason for concealment?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should you not be willing to tell me what you have been doing during those four hours?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why should you not have gone to see the priest at Brechy, my dear client?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why will you deny it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why will you refer to relations which must be forgotten?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why?
hvd.hn2ve8	Why?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Will that make him love me?
hvd.hn2ve8	Will you give me your hand?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Will you let me perish, Genevieve, when you know I am inno- cent?
hvd.hn2ve8	Will you please tell me, Mr. Mayor, when Count Claudieuse was roused by the fire, was the countess by him?
hvd.hn2ve8	Without any further opposition, and( who knows?)
hvd.hn2ve8	Without finding out what is going on behind these pitiless walls; without knowing even whether Jacques is dead or alive?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Would I really be exculpated by such proceedings?
hvd.hn2ve8	Would any one else believe it?
hvd.hn2ve8	Would he dare to plead this statement, and assert that the Countess Claudieuse had been Jacques's mistress?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Would he not have loaded his gun with a ball, if he should ever have really thought of mur- dering the count?
hvd.hn2ve8	Would it be proper?"
hvd.hn2ve8	Would not my whole life thereafter be disgraced by suspicions?
hvd.hn2ve8	Yes, but if Jacques should be innocent?
hvd.hn2ve8	You are astonished, are you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You are not making fun of me?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You come to join me at breakfast?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not know what a terrible calam- ity"-"A calamity?
hvd.hn2ve8	You do not think me guilty?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You hesitate?
hvd.hn2ve8	You know it, M. Seneschal?
hvd.hn2ve8	You know, no doubt, all the law officers of Sauveterre?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You love her very much, do you?'
hvd.hn2ve8	You see her before you, do n't you?
hvd.hn2ve8	You surely do not doubt his innocence?
hvd.hn2ve8	You suspect the prisoner upon the evidence of such a creature?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You think little of my being dis- graced, provided she be honored; of my weeping bitterly, if she but smile?
hvd.hn2ve8	You thought it was all settled?
hvd.hn2ve8	You were out last night?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You were seen"—"Who is the wretch?"
hvd.hn2ve8	You will not let me see you again, at least from afar?'
hvd.hn2ve8	You would not refuse me?
hvd.hn2ve8	You would say to yourself,'It is unlucky; but I have sworn not to speak"?
hvd.hn2ve8	^ How could all these circumstances have agreed so precisely, if they had not been pre- ar- ranged, and calculated beforehand?
hvd.hn2ve8	and had 1 become once more my own master?
hvd.hn2ve8	and how?
hvd.hn2ve8	and is it not open to me by night and by day?"
hvd.hn2ve8	and what for?"
hvd.hn2ve8	and what have we to expect?"
hvd.hn2ve8	and what need was there to consult his counsel?'"
hvd.hn2ve8	and when will you put good stout nurses in the place of these holy damsels?"
hvd.hn2ve8	any idea?
hvd.hn2ve8	as if, in his despair, he had hoped for some help or advice in his troubles, —"well?"
hvd.hn2ve8	asked the mayor in a half- stifled voice,"Valpinson is on fire?"
hvd.hn2ve8	broke in Dionysia,"how can you, who are a friend of Jacques, say so?"
hvd.hn2ve8	broke in M. Folgat,"whose?
hvd.hn2ve8	but M. de Chandore's and M. Folgat's?
hvd.hn2ve8	but M. de Chandore?"
hvd.hn2ve8	by whom?"
hvd.hn2ve8	do I know it myself?
hvd.hn2ve8	do you think M. Galpin has looked for it?
hvd.hn2ve8	exclaimed Dionysia,"how can I ever 1"—"How much may I offer him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	for which of my sins dost thou punish me in my children?
hvd.hn2ve8	ground? ” As M. Folgat was bowing, she asked,- Without saying a word, M. Folgat drew"You are M. de Boiscoran's counsel?"
hvd.hn2ve8	ground? ” As M. Folgat was bowing, she asked,- Without saying a word, M. Folgat drew"You are M. de Boiscoran's counsel?"
hvd.hn2ve8	he said, according to a habit he had when he was at a loss what to do;"hm, hm I"And who would not have been embar- rassed in his place?
hvd.hn2ve8	he said,"always Coco- leu?"
hvd.hn2ve8	he said,"why did you, contrary to everybody's opinion, insist upon examining Cocoleu, a poor idiotic wretch?"
hvd.hn2ve8	he said,"you do not know, I presume, that master is engaged to Miss Dionysia?"
hvd.hn2ve8	he said,"you think so, and you refuse to support Dr. Seignebos, who is certainly an honest man?"
hvd.hn2ve8	how can I convince you?
hvd.hn2ve8	how or upon what do you want me to swear that I am ready to disappear?
hvd.hn2ve8	how shall I ever thank you for your sublime fidelity in my misfortune?
hvd.hn2ve8	how?
hvd.hn2ve8	is not only troublesome, but actually dangerous, right across the swamps?
hvd.hn2ve8	or if, not being mistaken, I should be unable to prove the truthfulness of my accusation?
hvd.hn2ve8	she does not also think I am guilty?"
hvd.hn2ve8	she replied,'and would I be apt, at this time, to be imprudent?
hvd.hn2ve8	she said,"do n't mind your place: do n't you know I have promised you a better one?"
hvd.hn2ve8	the means to go and live in the country?"
hvd.hn2ve8	was there any thing of the kind in Paris?"
hvd.hn2ve8	what am I talking about?
hvd.hn2ve8	what do you think of measles which make sitting up at night necessary?
hvd.hn2ve8	what does it matter?'
hvd.hn2ve8	what is the meaning of this?
hvd.hn2ve8	when shall we have laymen for our hospitals?
hvd.hn2ve8	when we all know that he is raining himself by his obstinacy?"
hvd.hn2ve8	when?
hvd.hn2ve8	which she had spent by her husband's"To me? ” she said.
hvd.hn2ve8	who would not have been de- ceived as I was?
hvd.hn2ve8	why could we not save him?"
hvd.hn2ve8	why did I not think of it?
hvd.hn2ve8	why did I refuse to speak that first day?
hvd.hn2ve8	why did you induce him to talk?
hvd.hn2ve8	why did you not say so at once?"
hvd.hn2ve8	why lose so many words?"
hvd.hn2ve8	wilt thou leave me all alone here upon earth?
hvd.hn2ve8	would I not do it if I could?"
hvd.hn2ve8	»"What is it?"
hvd.hn2ve8	— what does it matter?
hvd.hn2ve8	—"Ah, you bought a house?"
hvd.hn2ve8	—"Did you see the gentleman?"
hvd.hn2ve8	—'Frightened at what, my darling?'
hvd.hn2ve8	—'What, then?'
mdp.39015006995040	Have you been trying to milk him, then? ” Arthur asked.
mdp.39015006995040	About what, Joe? ” Miss Kenyon put in, speak. mdp.39015006995040 All alone? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	All the same, you know that your grandfather wants to keep you here? ”. mdp.39015006995040 Am I the least like them? ” he inquired with a faint trepidation in his voice.
mdp.39015006995040	And he would n't let you become an artist? ”'Arthur put in. mdp.39015006995040 And how long do you think you could stand being shut in here?"
mdp.39015006995040	And if I went? mdp.39015006995040 And if he wo n't?".
mdp.39015006995040	And then, sir?
mdp.39015006995040	And there's Elizabeth,she put in,"you rather like her, do n't you?"
mdp.39015006995040	And you're staying on?
mdp.39015006995040	And you? mdp.39015006995040 Anything out of the ordinary? ” She looked at him out of the corners of her eyes and softly blew her relief.
mdp.39015006995040	Are n't there some cousins of mine I ought to know? ” he asked. mdp.39015006995040 Are we to understand, Joe,"she said,"that Arthur Woodroffe knows all about us now?
mdp.39015006995040	Are you going to say anything to him about Hubert?
mdp.39015006995040	As medical attendant to a hypochondriac mil- lionaire?
mdp.39015006995040	Been playin'golf? ” he asked, with a supercilious air when Eleanor had made the introduction. mdp.39015006995040 Blowing a bit, were n't you, at the mention of Canada? ” Arthur said.
mdp.39015006995040	Both of you? ”For a time.
mdp.39015006995040	But he wants you to? ” Elizabeth pressed him. mdp.39015006995040 But surely you must be pining to get back to your golf and billiards and croquet?"
mdp.39015006995040	But that does n't weigh with you?.
mdp.39015006995040	But why have you gone on staying there if you feel like that?
mdp.39015006995040	But why? ” he persisted. mdp.39015006995040 But why?"
mdp.39015006995040	But will you promise? ”. mdp.39015006995040 But you do n't deny that you had that in your mind, when you began to speak to me about Hubert?"
mdp.39015006995040	But, good Lord, why does Mr Kenyon want him to come and live here? ” Arthur broke out. mdp.39015006995040 Care to have a game of pills? ” he asked, com- ing over to Arthur as they were leaving the dining- room.
mdp.39015006995040	Care to take me on for nine holes — haven't time for more?
mdp.39015006995040	Damn it, Esther, what do you mean by every- thing? ” Joe Kenyon exploded defensively. mdp.39015006995040 Did he say anything to you about my father yesterday?"
mdp.39015006995040	Do n't you know what it is?
mdp.39015006995040	Do you really, sir?
mdp.39015006995040	Do you think he'll have a down on you for gambling?
mdp.39015006995040	Does n't the old man allow them anything? ” he asked. mdp.39015006995040 Esther?
mdp.39015006995040	Feel a bit doubtful about settling down here? ” he went on. mdp.39015006995040 Feel pretty young, what? ” his uncle said with.. a chuckle.
mdp.39015006995040	Giving up the Canada idea, any way? ” was his response. mdp.39015006995040 Had n't you? ” Arthur murmured encouragingly.
mdp.39015006995040	Has n't it? ” he asked, as if he doubted that inference. mdp.39015006995040 Have you all got some terrible secret that you're hiding? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	Have you no battles of your own to fight?
mdp.39015006995040	Have you really? ” he commented politely. mdp.39015006995040 He keeps awfully fit, though, does n't he? ” Arthur went on.
mdp.39015006995040	How did you pick'em up again?
mdp.39015006995040	I believe it is true, is it not, ” he asked, “ that the really normal man was not subject to these nerve troubles?.
mdp.39015006995040	I could n't possibly refuse him, could I? mdp.39015006995040 I do n't know what we're waiting here for? ” he said.
mdp.39015006995040	I hope I have n't bored you with all this? ” his uncle's voice murmured. mdp.39015006995040 I mean what possible reason could I have for giving you away?"
mdp.39015006995040	I wonder how long it'll be before he comes back? ” he thought. mdp.39015006995040 I'm afraid she does n't like me? ” he explained.
mdp.39015006995040	I'm to respect your motives, of course,he said defiantly;"but you're at liberty to impute any sort of cowardice to me? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	I? mdp.39015006995040 I?
mdp.39015006995040	If he'll ever come back? ” In his mind's eye he had a disgustingly clear image of the solemn, carnest face of young Bates. mdp.39015006995040 Is my brother out there?"
mdp.39015006995040	Is that all?
mdp.39015006995040	Is there so much for me to learn here? ” he asked dryly. mdp.39015006995040 It is n't exactly a gay house, is it?"
mdp.39015006995040	Like to pretend I'm still in leading strings, do n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	Loose end? mdp.39015006995040 Mean?
mdp.39015006995040	Might I speak to you a minute, sir? ” Arthur made his opening curtly, almost contemptuously. mdp.39015006995040 Need we go back to that?"
mdp.39015006995040	No money?
mdp.39015006995040	Nothing much else to do, ” he explained,"except get licked by Elizabeth at croquet. ”And what's your game?"
mdp.39015006995040	Ohl do you play for medical reasons?
mdp.39015006995040	So Hubert wants to marry Miss Martin, does he? ” he asked, returning to the point at issue; “ and has sent you to plead for him.
mdp.39015006995040	So you did speak to him after all?
mdp.39015006995040	So you're thinking of joining the family party for a time, I hear? ” he began in a friendly voice. mdp.39015006995040 That how you feel about it?"
mdp.39015006995040	Then why does n't Eleanor wait until you've felt your feet a bit? ”She wo n't.
mdp.39015006995040	This holiday of yours is not altogether an ex- ception to the general rule, then? ” he asked. mdp.39015006995040 Was I right?"
mdp.39015006995040	Well, have I? ” he persisted feebly. mdp.39015006995040 Well, is it possible for a man to lose all decent, human feeling even for his own family?"
mdp.39015006995040	Well, it's no good arguing that, is it?
mdp.39015006995040	Well, shall you be ready in ten minutes? ” she threw at him over her shoulder. mdp.39015006995040 Well, then, why does n't he? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	Well, what happened this morning? ” he asked. mdp.39015006995040 Well?"
mdp.39015006995040	Well?
mdp.39015006995040	What about a last game? ” he asked, making a daring reference to the forbidden topic. mdp.39015006995040 What are you going to live on? ” Somers asked.
mdp.39015006995040	What is it, then? ” he asked ten- derly. mdp.39015006995040 What is it, then? ” he insisted.
mdp.39015006995040	What is the point then? ” he asked in bewilder- ment. mdp.39015006995040 What is this business? ” he asked., Hubert, who had got into that uneasy- looking pose of his, looked down at his crossed ankles.
mdp.39015006995040	Which of them shall I be like if I stay long enough, Uncle Joe, or Mr Turner, or Hu- bert...Are n't they all rather alike in one way? ” she asked.
mdp.39015006995040	Who is the girl he wants to marry? ” Mr Ken- yon put in. mdp.39015006995040 Why are you going?
mdp.39015006995040	Why do n't you finish your breakfast?
mdp.39015006995040	Why should he want to keep me as much as all that?
mdp.39015006995040	Why should n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	Why should they be prejudiced?
mdp.39015006995040	Why's that?
mdp.39015006995040	Why? ” snapped Miss Kenyon. mdp.39015006995040 Would you stay on if I went?"
mdp.39015006995040	You could hardly be called a relation of Mr Kenyon's, could you?
mdp.39015006995040	You had your little talk with my father this evening? ” she said then in a tone that sounded, he thought, a faint note of propitiation. mdp.39015006995040 You realise, of course, ” Mr Kenyon continued, “ that this will put an end to your engagement?
mdp.39015006995040	You surely do n't mean that you would care to stay — to live here? ” she was saying. mdp.39015006995040 You're rather great on giving advice, are n't you?"
mdp.39015006995040	You're supposed to know something about psy- chology, are n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	You've been having a talk with Eleanor? ” he remarked in his usual friendly tone. mdp.39015006995040 You've definitely made up your mind to chuck this job, then? ” Somers asked.
mdp.39015006995040	( He might possibly retain just enough to give him a small- a very small independent income?)
mdp.39015006995040	...""Sorry for him? ” Mr Kenyon repeated with a faint surprise.
mdp.39015006995040	After all, why should n't they?
mdp.39015006995040	All that side of the affair was comprehensible enough, but what of that other point from which the narrative had so casu- ally rambled away?
mdp.39015006995040	Allow the old man to regard him as an ungrateful cad?
mdp.39015006995040	Always listening to other people's complaints? ” Arthur had never considered that aspect of the doctor's life.
mdp.39015006995040	And Mr Kenyon?
mdp.39015006995040	And did he not keep his whole family in idleness from one year's end to another?
mdp.39015006995040	And if that release were denied, what could he do?
mdp.39015006995040	And so long as a man has that, you know, and there's nothing organically wrong...""Might easily live another ten years?"
mdp.39015006995040	And so you like doctoring, do you?
mdp.39015006995040	And then, what about the idea of marrying Elizabeth if she would have him?
mdp.39015006995040	And yet, what else had life, any life, to offer him?
mdp.39015006995040	And you know, do n't you, that thirty years ago it began in just the same way with the others?
mdp.39015006995040	And, possibly, Eleanor would be on his side?
mdp.39015006995040	And- and- well, he could n't keep it up. ”"And then?"
mdp.39015006995040	Are you absolutely deter- mined to go?"
mdp.39015006995040	Are you sure that at the end of the week you wo n't want to put it off again?"
mdp.39015006995040	Arthur did not know, but he nodded as he re- plied, “ Are they staying here for the week- end? ” “ Oh!
mdp.39015006995040	At the same time I suppose you realise what it may mean for you?"
mdp.39015006995040	Be pretty much like murder, would n't it?''
mdp.39015006995040	Beddington said he was as fit as a flea, still, but a bit absent- minded. ” “ And the thought of going down there has un- settled you, has it?"
mdp.39015006995040	But I know a fellow, a Harley Street specialist, great authority on the heart...""Sir Stephen Hunt? ” Arthur put in.
mdp.39015006995040	But I suppose he'll tell us nothing until the old man's dead. ”"You interested? ” the specialist asked.
mdp.39015006995040	But are you? ”"I've done it twice in the last ten days, ” she said.
mdp.39015006995040	But as it is what difference will a year, two years at most, make to you at your time of life?
mdp.39015006995040	But does n't it strike you that this is a queer household?
mdp.39015006995040	But it might be that she had not yet heard of the unsigned agreement that he had made in imitation of her own method?
mdp.39015006995040	But suppose, just for the sake of argument, that the old man left him, Arthur, nothing after all?
mdp.39015006995040	But surely, my dear boy, you can at least see that you've got it in your power to give any of us away to the old man? ”"Oh, good Lord!"
mdp.39015006995040	But what was the matter with them all?
mdp.39015006995040	But why does he?
mdp.39015006995040	But why should he, in either case, want him to come and live at Hartling?
mdp.39015006995040	But you can tell me about that, ca n't you? ” He pushed her inquiry on one side.
mdp.39015006995040	But you said one or two things on that occasion, did n't you, that made me feel you understand better than any of the others?
mdp.39015006995040	But — I do n't know, I wanted to tell you, and that affair of Ken's makes you think a bit, does n't it?
mdp.39015006995040	Ca n't you put yourself in that position and see what a temptation it would be? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	Can he?"
mdp.39015006995040	Coming back into the other room?"
mdp.39015006995040	Could Eleanor put it in his hands?
mdp.39015006995040	Did n't he say anything to you about his will? ” Arthur was glad that she could not see the blush that again burnt his face.
mdp.39015006995040	Did n't you meet her up at the club- house?
mdp.39015006995040	Did she know?
mdp.39015006995040	Did you know they were n't trances, by the way? ”"No.
mdp.39015006995040	Do n't you feel exalted by being in the presence of all this wealth? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	Do n't you find yourself getting in the way of looking at every one as a possible patient? ” “ Lord, no,"Arthur replied, laughing.
mdp.39015006995040	Do n't you think I might say some- thing to Mr Kenyon about it?
mdp.39015006995040	Do n't you think it looks very orderly and business- like? ” He agreed without enthusiasm.
mdp.39015006995040	Do you know that there are securities in this room worth well over half a million?
mdp.39015006995040	Do you know?
mdp.39015006995040	Do you mean that this is a new freedom for you? ” She manifestly hesitated before she replied to that, and her “ Oh, no!
mdp.39015006995040	Do you mean that you're leaving here for good?"
mdp.39015006995040	Do you mind if I go on?
mdp.39015006995040	Does n't it seem to you as if he were their master rather than their father? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015006995040	Eh, Joe? ” Joe Kenyon pursed his mouth.
mdp.39015006995040	Ever heard of him? ” Somers shook his head.
mdp.39015006995040	Got a practice, or what? ” Turner asked.
mdp.39015006995040	Had Fergusson been promised a place in that untidy will as compensation?
mdp.39015006995040	Had he and his sister been quarrelling?
mdp.39015006995040	Had he, perhaps, had his sister's hands also; those white, strong managing hands that were now so threateningly clenched?
mdp.39015006995040	Had he, perhaps, heard or guessed at the quarrel between them in the next room?
mdp.39015006995040	Had not Turner been right after all?
mdp.39015006995040	Had you ever seen him lose his temper? ” Joe Kenyon considered that question for a mo- ment or two before he said, “ No!
mdp.39015006995040	Have n't you realised that they never interfere with him?
mdp.39015006995040	Have you finished your tea?
mdp.39015006995040	Have you told him everything?"
mdp.39015006995040	He THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 233 if he is not an inhuman, heartless brute?"
mdp.39015006995040	He believed that he had convinced her, until she said gently, — “ And if my grandfather lives more than five years?
mdp.39015006995040	He keeps himself so aloof — if you know what I mean?
mdp.39015006995040	He thought he detected the suggestion of some reservation in her answer, and said,"Only lately?
mdp.39015006995040	He wondered if it might be a case of petit mal, minor epilepsy?
mdp.39015006995040	He wondered if she still remembered her early troubles, if she occasionally grieved for her father and mother?
mdp.39015006995040	He's as calm as Fate, ” Eleanor said, “ and as cruel. ”"But why is he going up to town?
mdp.39015006995040	Her people are n't well off and I simply have n't got a bean of my own. ”"You might get a job somewhere else as an es- tate agent?"
mdp.39015006995040	Honestly, Arthur, how long do you think it's possible he might hang on? ” Arthur shook his head.
mdp.39015006995040	How d’you mean?"
mdp.39015006995040	How on earth.could one open the subject to him without impertinence?
mdp.39015006995040	However, he told me to ask you if you could n't stay on for a day or two; whether you need go back to town on Monday?
mdp.39015006995040	Hubert took me up there 130 THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING had been of his sister's breed?
mdp.39015006995040	I ca n't boast that I'm any sort of example for you, eh, Catherine?"
mdp.39015006995040	I can trust you, ca n't I?"
mdp.39015006995040	I dare say you ca n't understand that? ” “ I can.
mdp.39015006995040	I do n't think any of us has got the old man's cruelty — he was damned cruel, that's true enough. ”"Not even Miss Kenyon? ” Arthur put in.
mdp.39015006995040	I suppose nothing particular has upset you lately, has it?
mdp.39015006995040	I suppose you've asked her advice?"
mdp.39015006995040	I told him about Jim, if that's what you mean? ” 128 THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING Miss Kenyon began to drum her fingers on the arm of her chair.
mdp.39015006995040	I've had my youth stolen from me and I want to get a little of it back — six months or a year is n't too much return to ask surely?
mdp.39015006995040	If Elizabeth was willing to marry him, would not her companionship alleviate the occasional tediousness and loneliness of life at Hartling?
mdp.39015006995040	If Hubert's own family would not put in a word for him, why should a comparative stranger interfere?
mdp.39015006995040	If I broke my promise and went instead, would you stay? ”"I might for the sake of the others, ” she said.
mdp.39015006995040	If she goes to- morrow?"
mdp.39015006995040	If she merely despised him, as she obviously did, what was the use of trying to win her confi- dence?
mdp.39015006995040	If that warm generosity of hers did not betray her?
mdp.39015006995040	If you are going?
mdp.39015006995040	Indeed, was not that the explanation of the pretended secret of Hartling?
mdp.39015006995040	Insist?
mdp.39015006995040	Is he going to see Ken himself?"
mdp.39015006995040	Is it about him-Mr Kenyon? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	Is n't that visit of yours being amaz- ingly protracted?
mdp.39015006995040	Is n't this rather a new departure for you? ” The look of eagerness left his face.
mdp.39015006995040	Is there some secret about it?"
mdp.39015006995040	It was inevitably his uncle that Arthur chose as 246 THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING"Is it possible to live on that, in these days?"
mdp.39015006995040	It's like the fear one has in a dream, the fear of something with an unearthly power that you THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 255"Can you see Arthur now?
mdp.39015006995040	Jolly?
mdp.39015006995040	Make a clean breast of everything and say that one or the other of them had to go, and he preferred that it should be himself, for excellent reasons?
mdp.39015006995040	Makes you feel such an infernal ass. ”"But suppose,"Arthur suggested,"that you simply did n't do what he wanted you to?
mdp.39015006995040	May I come in?".
mdp.39015006995040	Might it not be said that old Mr Kenyon had made a worthy use of his wealth in creating this gar- den?
mdp.39015006995040	Nor did the fun the general situacrandfather on 98 THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING “ How do you mean?"
mdp.39015006995040	Not that that matters, does it?
mdp.39015006995040	Now, d'you mean to tell me honestly that you can help looking out for symptoms like that, more THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 33 or less?
mdp.39015006995040	Only we are so — what shall I say? — so self- sufficient.
mdp.39015006995040	Or do n't you think you'd ask to be let off? ”"I might ask to be let off,"he admitted, after a few seconds'thought.
mdp.39015006995040	Or do n't you want to tell me that?!!
mdp.39015006995040	Or do you think it takes longer than that to get assimilated?"
mdp.39015006995040	Or have you got a permanent job there as tame medico to the old man?
mdp.39015006995040	Or is it a girl?
mdp.39015006995040	Or is it just this beastly money of yours?
mdp.39015006995040	Or make Eleanor bear witness?
mdp.39015006995040	Or threatens them in any way? ” Arthur asked.
mdp.39015006995040	Or with him?
mdp.39015006995040	Putting that hypothetical legacy out of the question, would he not be doing this old man a real service by accepting his offer?
mdp.39015006995040	Reason with him?
mdp.39015006995040	Say calmly that he meant to go whether he were released or not?
mdp.39015006995040	Seen my son anywhere? ” “ Yes, he's on the middle terrace with Eleanor,"Arthur said.
mdp.39015006995040	Shall we go to that place where you found me with Hubert the day I came?
mdp.39015006995040	She looked round at him as she added, “ Are n't you dazzled?
mdp.39015006995040	She might not have heard of his verbal compact with the family made the previous day?
mdp.39015006995040	She waited while her uncle played his shot and then turning to Arthur said:-"Would you mind dressing early to- night, Mr. Woodroffe?
mdp.39015006995040	She wants to get away quite as much as I do- more, I think. ”"But where's she going to- to- morrow?
mdp.39015006995040	Should he go down now and try his luck?
mdp.39015006995040	So Hubert wants to marry Miss Martin, does he?"
mdp.39015006995040	Something in the pose of those indifferently diligent women, perhaps?
mdp.39015006995040	Supposing I'd got protuberant eyes, for instance?"
mdp.39015006995040	THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 151 “ Will you give Hubert the message or shall I send some one?"
mdp.39015006995040	THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 231"Why me? ” Arthur objected.
mdp.39015006995040	There began, and without waiting for a reply, continued: “ Depressing kind of profession, is n't it?
mdp.39015006995040	These are the fancies of a very old man, no doubt, but after all why should I not indulge them if I can?
mdp.39015006995040	They had sat there in absolute silence for more than ten minutes when Arthur at last said,"Well, shall we talk now and — and get it over?"
mdp.39015006995040	Things atmething we thing thatcontinuede for later to THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 109"Has n't it?
mdp.39015006995040	Unless that alternative was being held over him as a kind of threat?
mdp.39015006995040	Was he pledged in any way to plead Hubert's cause with his grandfather?
mdp.39015006995040	Was he, perhaps, extending the interval of waiting after he had recovered con- sciousness, exulting in the exercise of his power?
mdp.39015006995040	Was it not possible that the head of the house was slightly insane?
mdp.39015006995040	Was it possible that that quiet expression veiled a threat?
mdp.39015006995040	Was it possible that the old man had temporarily escaped from his keeper?
mdp.39015006995040	Was it worth while attempting his own defence?
mdp.39015006995040	Was she afraid that he might be designing to cut out the rest of the family?
mdp.39015006995040	Was she doing this, he wondered, in order that he might stay on?
mdp.39015006995040	Was she inclined to be critical of her grandfather's whims?
mdp.39015006995040	Was she, perhaps, desperately ready to marry young Turner in order to escape from Hart- ling?
mdp.39015006995040	Was that the reason for their tepidity?
mdp.39015006995040	We've all passed through that stage, but you soon become reconciled; why should n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	Were the Kenyons to be pitied?
mdp.39015006995040	What could he do? ” The mere suggestion seemed to make Hubert uneasy.
mdp.39015006995040	What did Eleanor say?"
mdp.39015006995040	What did it matter whether or not she despised him?
mdp.39015006995040	What did you do? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	What difference would a few thou- sands out of the Kenyon fortune make to them?
mdp.39015006995040	What the devil were they, then?"
mdp.39015006995040	What then? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	What was his objection? ” he said.
mdp.39015006995040	What was it he had said?
mdp.39015006995040	What was it his uncle had called her?
mdp.39015006995040	What was it the place and the people reminded him of?
mdp.39015006995040	What was there to wait for in such a life as that except death?
mdp.39015006995040	What's that?"
mdp.39015006995040	What? ” Turner inquired.
mdp.39015006995040	What?"
mdp.39015006995040	Whatever is the good of talking to me about it?''
mdp.39015006995040	When are you going to Canada?"
mdp.39015006995040	Where does Eleanor come in?"
mdp.39015006995040	Who knew what the old man might do in some fit of eccentricity?
mdp.39015006995040	Who suc- ceeds? ”"We do n't know yet,"Arthur replied.
mdp.39015006995040	Why could not Eleanor have undertaken this mis- sion herself?
mdp.39015006995040	Why had she done that?
mdp.39015006995040	Why not?"
mdp.39015006995040	Why should n't he enjoy life in his own way?
mdp.39015006995040	Why should there be?"
mdp.39015006995040	Why the devil should n't he?
mdp.39015006995040	Why?
mdp.39015006995040	Why?
mdp.39015006995040	Will you give me at least one more chance to talk to you alone before I go? ”"Oh!
mdp.39015006995040	Would he stay as long as he could?
mdp.39015006995040	Would it be possible for me to see you ever, after you go to stay with those people?"
mdp.39015006995040	Would it be very rotten to take on a job like that with the idea of having money left to you?
mdp.39015006995040	Would it not be bet- ter from every point of view to leave it alone?
mdp.39015006995040	Would you care to come out into the garden? ” “ Love to,"Arthur responded eagerly.
mdp.39015006995040	Would you, honestly?
mdp.39015006995040	You know Miss Martin, do n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	You would n't like, would you, to stay here in- definitely, even if you could? ” He knew that he was being a trifle perverse as he answered that.
mdp.39015006995040	You're a full- fledged doctor, are n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	You're practically one of us now, are n't you? ” But some spirit in Arthur rebelled furiously against that suggestion.
mdp.39015006995040	You've got to admit now, have n't you, that ours is a dirty job, take it all round?"
mdp.39015006995040	to trust his word without any damned deeds and so on? ” “ Oh, quite!
mdp.39015006995040	what can he do, when it comes to the point?
mdp.39015006995040	what could he do?"
mdp.39015006995040	what do you think we ought to do?
mdp.39015006995040	you've met her too, have you?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ A little strange, is n't it, ” she asked, “ for you to offer to finance us? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	“ A lovely, solemn little chit?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Am I? ” was all she said, and Arthur instantly regretted his rudeness.
mdp.39015006995040	“ And are you?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ And that other favour?
mdp.39015006995040	“ And what good do you expect to do to yourself or anybody else by speaking to my father about Hubert's engagement?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ And yet he never loses his temper with them, does he?
mdp.39015006995040	“ And you wish...? ” Mr Kenyon suggested, without the least sign of displeasure.
mdp.39015006995040	“ And you, what did you say?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ And you? ” she asked sharply.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Any way, what is it you're hankering after, my good chap? ” he concluded.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Anything the matter?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Are you always with your grandfather? ” he asked, 182 THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING to- day,"he said.
mdp.39015006995040	“ But I say, how did it happen? ” his uncle asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ But are you quite sure of yourself?
mdp.39015006995040	“ But is he actually cruel?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ But now you know why I'm going, do n't you?
mdp.39015006995040	“ But what has made you change your mind?
mdp.39015006995040	“ But you still believe in him?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ But, good Lord; why? ” he asked in a voice that sufficiently expressed the depth of his incomprehension.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Care to come and have a look at the gar- den? ”"Thanks.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Could n't you tell me how things are, a bit more?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Difficult! ” he repeated, and then, “ I suppose you have n't got a cigar on you?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Do I look uplifted? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Do n't say that. ” “ True, though, in a way, is n't it?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Do n't you want me to stay? ” Arthur asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Do you know this girl, Dorothy Martin?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Do you mean that you have only been feeling like that just lately? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Do you really mean that? ” he asked, hardly understanding his own excitement.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Does he believe that you are n't capable of looking after your own interests too? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Does n't it to you?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Does that count for nothing with you? ”"I'm sorry, sir.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Does that mean that you're staying on inde- finitely?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Eleanor?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Going out? ” she asked coldly.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Have n't you changed your mind because you're afraid of having to leave here?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ He did n't seem upset at dinner. ” “ He?
mdp.39015006995040	“ How long have you been making these plans? ”"Only this afternoon."
mdp.39015006995040	“ How're you? ” he said indifferently to the newly recovered nephew.
mdp.39015006995040	“ I thought that we agreed..."“ Do n't you want me to go? ” she asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Is anything up? ” he asked in an undertone.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Is n't it cowardice then?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ It'll be rather too wet for tennis, wo n't it?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ It's almost too hot to talk here, is n't it?".
mdp.39015006995040	“ Known him twenty- five years, have you? ” he commented.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Lord, no- secret?
mdp.39015006995040	“ My father said that, did he?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ No harm in trying, though, is there?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ No, I've got a letter to write, ” Arthur said, remembering that Somers would expect an answer THE PRISONERS OF HARTLING 173 ang?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Of course I must keep my promise in any circumstances. ” “ I suppose you do really believe that?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Of this sort?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Oh, well,"he said, “ no good discussing that, is it?
mdp.39015006995040	“ On what grounds? ” Miss Kenyon put in sharply.
mdp.39015006995040	“ One of your perquisites? ” he asked, smil.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Plus two, is n't it, now, Hubert? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Quite,"Arthur agreed, and then added: “ This wo n't affect you in any way, will it, uncle?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Reason? ” he reflected.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Remember, Esther?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Six months or a year at the outside? ”.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Then what's your objection?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ There's no reason why I should be, is there?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ Thinks he'll be company for you and me, per- haps? ” Hubert suggested.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Was it really? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Well, no need to go into that, eh, Charles? ” he asked nervously.
mdp.39015006995040	“ What a won- derful girl she is, is n't she?
mdp.39015006995040	“ What are you going to do with your holiday? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ What do you mean, by having no money?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ What made you ask that? ” he said in what he congratulated himself was a non- committal tone.
mdp.39015006995040	“ What time is Mr Kenyon going? ” he asked at last, addressing his question vaguely to the company at large.
mdp.39015006995040	“ What? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ When are you going to see him? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Who's going to make him?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Why are you so sure that your grandfather will refuse? ” Arthur now broke in, looking at Hubert.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Why from the'out- side'?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Why me? ” she replied.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Will my going have the least effect on your own plans? ” He considered that for a moment before he re- plied with perfect sincerity.
mdp.39015006995040	“ Worried?
mdp.39015006995040	“ Yes, but why take it for granted that I should be wasting my life?"
mdp.39015006995040	“ You despised me for wanting to stay, did n't you? ” he said.
mdp.39015006995040	“ You do n't find anything wrong with him, do you?
mdp.39015006995040	“ You know the whole amount's under fif- teen hundred, and what's that to a man worth over half a million?
mdp.39015006995040	“ You mean that you're afraid to face life with me on five hundred a year? ” he asked.
mdp.39015006995040	“ You're not afraid of him, are you?"
hvd.hxdlgd	- If it were only possible to silence Millard| But the latter continued with evident relish: “ And why was it missing?
hvd.hxdlgd	- “ You ’re not going yet? ” Storm asked mechanically.
hvd.hxdlgd	.That you, George?
hvd.hxdlgd	A cry or anything of that sort?
hvd.hxdlgd	A cup of coffee perhaps? ” Dr. Bellowes shook his head, but his eyes traveled to the humidor on the table, and Storm followed his glance.
hvd.hxdlgd	A motive?
hvd.hxdlgd	Alaska? ” repeated Storm with unconscious envy.
hvd.hxdlgd	All right, fix it, will you?
hvd.hxdlgd	Am I going mad? ” “ It ’s the shock, ” George said quietly.
hvd.hxdlgd	And he?
hvd.hxdlgd	And what's burning?
hvd.hxdlgd	Any kids? ”- “ No, ” replied his host shortly.
hvd.hxdlgd	Are you sure? ” Storm assumed an uncon- sciously clever imitation of Millard's eager curiosity.
hvd.hxdlgd	Beautiful woman, was n't she?
hvd.hxdlgd	Bleat to this fathead and give him an opportunity to gloat?
hvd.hxdlgd	But I was afraid of disturbing her — ” He paused, and Dr. Carr asked quickly: “ You returned late and thought she had retired? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlgd	But Storm must know 11101 e. “ Then I suppose congratulations are in order? ” he que- ried, eying his guest through narrowed lids.
hvd.hxdlgd	But was it?
hvd.hxdlgd	But what did it matter what any of them thought?
hvd.hxdlgd	But what news could there be?
hvd.hxdlgd	But what was he thinking?
hvd.hxdlgd	But would peace come?
hvd.hxdlgd	But would the time ever come?
hvd.hxdlgd	By Jingo, I hope they get them l ’ ” “ Do they think some gang were out after him? ” Storm asked.
hvd.hxdlgd	CHAPTER II THE TRAP 66 IDN'T you sleep well, dear?
hvd.hxdlgd	Ca n't I offer you something before you start on your ride back?
hvd.hxdlgd	Can I get you anything? ”- IO2 ASHES TO ASHES Storm sank back with a sigh of relief.
hvd.hxdlgd	Coming my way, Holworthy? ” “ Eh P ” George glanced up with a start, as if suddenly aroused, his near- sighted eyes blinking.
hvd.hxdlgd	Could George sleep like that, exhausted though he well might be, if he had gained an inkling of the truth?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could Homachi have seen it from where he stood in the doorway?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could he endure his presence in the days which must decently elapse before the funeral?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could he get the fifty thousand from Foulkes at such short order, to say nothing of arranging the mortgage on the Greenlea house?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could it be a latent suspicion?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could it be after all that luck had not deserted him?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could it be his own with that sickly, bluish pallor, unshaven jaw, and haunted, sunken eyes which stared from dark- rimmed sockets?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could it be that Horton I54 ASHES TO ASHES was a fugitive from justice?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could it be that perverse fate would or- dain that the maids should over- sleep this day of all days and prolong his agony?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could it mean Hor- ton's body?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could old George have begun to suspect the truth after all?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could old George, obtuse as he was, have divined the truth and been trying in his stupid, blundering fashion, to warn him?
hvd.hxdlgd	Could this have been all a blind?
hvd.hxdlgd	Dare he ask his companion for particulars?
hvd.hxdlgd	Dared he burn it?
hvd.hxdlgd	Dared he trust a porter?
hvd.hxdlgd	Dick's not a fool; he'll either blow up some day or find somebody's else wife to sympathize ” Was that the solution?
hvd.hxdlgd	Did Carr accept the situation at its face value?
hvd.hxdlgd	Did George know?
hvd.hxdlgd	Did he remember the face of the man who had given it into his charge?
hvd.hxdlgd	Did she think to deceive him, to keep him indefinitely in the state of fatu- ous complacency in which he had pitied other husbands?
hvd.hxdlgd	Did you take that sleeping stuff Carr left for you? ” Storm shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgd	Do n't you know better than to scream like that?
hvd.hxdlgd	Do you ever see anything of the old crowd? ” “ I run into one or another of them at the club now and then. ” Storm put down his glass.
hvd.hxdlgd	Do you know how much I ’ve got here, old scout?
hvd.hxdlgd	Do you know if she touched it before you got down here? ” Storm shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgd	Do you think she was trying to — er, stall? ” “ No. ” The Captain shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgd	Do you want to leave any message? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgd	Does this desk set go in, too? ” “ Yes. ” Storm breathed more easily, but his vaunted foresight had received a shock.
hvd.hxdlgd	Ever hear anything from him? ” “ Not since he beat it for Japan with another man's wife. ” “ You do n't say! ” Horton's eyes widened.
hvd.hxdlgd	For one thing, I have found you out, my dear! ” “ ‘ Found me out? ’ ” she repeated advancing toward him in sheer wonderment.
hvd.hxdlgd	From whence, if he had indeed lost that, had come the money for this long foreign trip so suddenly decided upon without apparent reason?
hvd.hxdlgd	Gad, how easy it had been 1 “ What do you think of Homachi? ” George's question broke in upon his self- congratulation.
hvd.hxdlgd	George knew him, did he?
hvd.hxdlgd	George would be pained, of course, but what did that matter?
hvd.hxdlgd	Given the incentive and the opportu- nity, how do we know where anyone gets off? ” “ Oh, come, Norman l ’ ” George's tone was scandalized.
hvd.hxdlgd	God, could he endure it and keep his sanity?
hvd.hxdlgd	God, could there be something prophetic in Mil- lard's words?
hvd.hxdlgd	God, how heavy it was 1 Could he ever get it up to the top of the wall?
hvd.hxdlgd	Got any Scotch? ” Storm produced the bottle, siphon and two tall glasses, and went into the kitchen to crack some ice.
hvd.hxdlgd	Got any place where I can lock it up?
hvd.hxdlgd	Great God, must every- one he encountered remind him?
hvd.hxdlgd	Great heavens, if he appeared like that before even the servants his guilt would be patent to all the world!—But would it?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had George noted anything unusual?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had George noticed?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had George seen?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had a phoenix risen from them to cry the deed in tones audible only to MacWhirter's susceptible Celtic ear?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had he an inkling of Storm's state of mind that night?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had he be- trayed himself?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had he been sufficiently interested to try to probe Millard for further news?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had he been trying to excuse them on the score of propinquity?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had he too palpably ignored the other's intimation that a blow had been struck?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had it been discovered?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had n't we better be getting back?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had not everything gone like clock- work, exactly as he had anticipated?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had that inquisition been merely the formality that the young official claimed, or had they stumbled on the truth?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had the bag been already discovered at the station, and was the porter's me- mory for faces more keen than he had judged?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had the glancing but deadly blow which knocked it off to catch it by a miracle upon the vine spattered it with Horton's blood?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had the rain stopped?
hvd.hxdlgd	Had those ashes of his first crime bred a fatal growth there among the flowers?
hvd.hxdlgd	He could have turned and struck the man beside him — Leila 1 Greenleal Damn them all, would they never allow him to forget, even for a moment?
hvd.hxdlgd	He could n't fool him?
hvd.hxdlgd	He knew the strength of first impressions; were the circumstantial proofs of acci- dental death obvious enough to preclude all suspicion of foul play?
hvd.hxdlgd	He might have only subconsciously noted the trivial episode of the other night; but would he remember it later?
hvd.hxdlgd	He told me when he called me up to ask about the papers — ” “ What papers? ” Storm interrupted.
hvd.hxdlgd	He wanted them out of his sight, destroyed utterly, but where?
hvd.hxdlgd	He's coming over for dinner. ” “ That ’s the reason for the début of the new white gown, eh? ” Storm laughed.
hvd.hxdlgd	His secretiveness, his evident intention at first to deny his identity: what could they portend?
hvd.hxdlgd	Horton had been a mere acquaintance of his of years gone by; why should he take such a profound interest in the murder?
hvd.hxdlgd	Horton had boasted volubly of the trust reposed in him; but what if, unknown to him, the company had placed a guard or checker upon him?
hvd.hxdlgd	How about dining with me in an hour at the Rochefoucauld where we met last night?
hvd.hxdlgd	How about to- morrow? ” Storm shook his head, checking the shudder which came involuntarily at the suggestion.
hvd.hxdlgd	How could he ever live through them?
hvd.hxdlgd	How could he rid himself of it and of the pistol and hat as well?
hvd.hxdlgd	How could the beast know?
hvd.hxdlgd	How did the con- demned spend the last hours before the end?
hvd.hxdlgd	How did you get rid of the Brewsters? ” “ Well, it was n't easy! ” A faint smile lighted George's tired face.
hvd.hxdlgd	How did you reach home? ” “ Why, the way we came, of course, in Julie's car. ” Leila's voice trembled slightly and her eyes wavered.
hvd.hxdlgd	How do you feel?
hvd.hxdlgd	How — how did it happen —? ” “ We do n't know yet. ” Storm gripped the agitated little man ’s arm for a moment as if for support.
hvd.hxdlgd	How?
hvd.hxdlgd	I could come back and start all over again »- “ But your position with the Trust Company? ” George sputtered.
hvd.hxdlgd	I did wonder at your surprise for I had seen you both in town at noon. ” “ You had — seen us both? ” Storm repeated.
hvd.hxdlgd	I do not believe that Jack ever reached the city. ” “ Why not, Miss Saulsbury? ” The stern note quickened to imperative demand.
hvd.hxdlgd	I have n’t heard of either of them in years, have you? ” Storm shook his head, unable to frame a word.
hvd.hxdlgd	I hope you are good and hungry; I know I am. ” “ But what's all this mystery? ” George demanded, after Homachi had served them.
hvd.hxdlgd	I hoped you would when I saw you passing. ” “ What's wrong, old chap?
hvd.hxdlgd	I say, if you're alone wo n't you join me? ” To his surprise Storm found himself responding almost jovially.
hvd.hxdlgd	I say, there was something rather fine, was n't there, about that girl? ” w “ She was rather pretty, ” Storm admitted, with a shrug.
hvd.hxdlgd	I suppose it is no use to ask you to stay overnight, George? ” He shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgd	I told them to stop in at Carr's and send him here. ” THE ESCAPE 103 “ What did I say?
hvd.hxdlgd	I trust that you yourself did not fall a victim to him? ” Storm's eyes flashed, but he held himself rigidly in control.
hvd.hxdlgd	I will, this afternoon. ” “ Well, have you sent word out to MacWhirter to have your fishing gear brought in: How about your clothes?
hvd.hxdlgd	I ’ll catch the twelve- forty>> “ Why?
hvd.hxdlgd	I've been thinking about that trip I proposed takin 32 “ Yes? ” George urged eagerly as he paused.
hvd.hxdlgd	If I can get Abbott's car to- morrow afternoon, do you want to run out somewhere for dinner?
hvd.hxdlgd	If it were n't for that bag of mine — ” “ What's in it, anyway? ” Storm asked idly.
hvd.hxdlgd	If old George thought his manner odd, how would it impress others?
hvd.hxdlgd	If what he suspected were true, did any of them know already?
hvd.hxdlgd	It happened somewhere about here, did n't it, Officer? ” “ Just here, sir.
hvd.hxdlgd	It has been established, then, that a man did check it?
hvd.hxdlgd	It is like some horrible nightmarel You wo n't leave me?
hvd.hxdlgd	It was the gold they were after l No attempt was made to check up on that, was there?
hvd.hxdlgd	It ’s too awful, I ca n't — ” “ But where is she?
hvd.hxdlgd	Later it would be deserted enough; but how to get Horton out there P “ Lose'Genie? ” Horton repeated.
hvd.hxdlgd	Leila| What possible errand could have brought her to the city and to this portion of it?
hvd.hxdlgd	Let me see; your month is up —? ”- “ Tomorrow, sir. ” There was unconcealed eagerness in the man's tone.
hvd.hxdlgd	Morning?
hvd.hxdlgd	Nervy of him to go back to France when he knew the Government was out after him, was n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	New scenes and all that sort of thing?
hvd.hxdlgd	No other girl in the running? ” “ No, sir!
hvd.hxdlgd	No sound of a fall, or disturbance of any kind? ” “ Nothing. ” Storm started from his chair.
hvd.hxdlgd	Not so old, eh?
hvd.hxdlgd	Not your wife? ” Storm nodded.
hvd.hxdlgd	Oh, if you do n’t find him! ” “ Your name, please? ” A note of sternness crept into the Captain's tones.
hvd.hxdlgd	Perhaps you're on the way to it now, who knows? ” Only six blocks more and then they would reach that turn in the path!
hvd.hxdlgd	Re- member the love letters on pink paper that we sent to the old chemistry prof- what was his name?
hvd.hxdlgd	Say, why do n't you meet me at the Club? ” Storm made a quick gesture of rejection.
hvd.hxdlgd	See this? ” He reached in his hip pocket and produced a blunt- nosed pistol which winked wickedly in the light.
hvd.hxdlgd	Shall we ask Millard to join us? ” “ Heavens, no!
hvd.hxdlgd	She had told a deliberate falsehood; but why?
hvd.hxdlgd	She made only one misstatement, or attempt at evasion. ” “ What was that? ” Storm drew closer to catch the reply.
hvd.hxdlgd	So that little lady was in love with Horton, eh?
hvd.hxdlgd	So this was what he had been driving at- And Leila herself?
hvd.hxdlgd	Still think you are going to win? ” “ I wish I were as sure of eternal salvation l ” the other retorted stoutly.
hvd.hxdlgd	Stop smiling! ” What queer, grating whisper was that which repeated the words endlessly over and over in unison with the throb- bing in his brain?
hvd.hxdlgd	Storm had concluded then that the whole thing had gone miles over George's head; but what if it had struck home?
hvd.hxdlgd	Suppose Horton had been followed on the previous night after all by some emissary of the company whose funds were in his charge?
hvd.hxdlgd	Suppose by sheer accident or stroke of fate Horton and Storm had met near the station and the latter had taken Horton to his rooms?
hvd.hxdlgd	Suppose it, too, bore traces?
hvd.hxdlgd	Suppose the watcher had lost sight of him at the terminal the night before; was Storm running too great a risk by returning to the same station?
hvd.hxdlgd	Suppose, after all, the man should be an impostor?
hvd.hxdlgd	Surely it would not be unusual 198 ASHES TO ASHES when a man was carrying sums of such magnitude in cash?
hvd.hxdlgd	THE LONG NIGHT 43 God, why did such hideous thoughts intrude themselves now?
hvd.hxdlgd	THE VERDICT 71 “ How long have you been married, and what was Mrs. Storm's maiden name? ” “ Leila Talmage.
hvd.hxdlgd	Take it to the parcel room, will you? ” “ It ’ll be a dime, suh, ” the porter announced, taking over the burden nonchalantly.
hvd.hxdlgd	Taxi, suh? ” Storm eyed the dusky, stolid countenance keenly for a moment, and then made his decision.
hvd.hxdlgd	Tell me what is at the bottom of this crazy move of yours, wo n't you?
hvd.hxdlgd	Tell me, was anyone there at the Inn whom you knew? ” Leila hesitated, biting her lips.
hvd.hxdlgd	That's the Chief Medical Examiner's car, is n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	The bag had been discovered, but did the porter remem- ber checking it?
hvd.hxdlgd	The floors and ceilings were thick, and no ordinary sound could penetrate from above; but had he not heard a step upon the stair?
hvd.hxdlgd	The pet Parmachini Belle of yours would make any bass in the lake give you a laugh! ” Another dangerous chance eliminated Danger?
hvd.hxdlgd	The police- man does n't remember hearing anything a little later?
hvd.hxdlgd	The return to that empty house day after day; could he endure it without going mad?
hvd.hxdlgd	There was no use in disturbing the ser- vants. ” “ Why did n't you call me? ” demanded the other.
hvd.hxdlgd	They have a description of him, per- haps? ” He waited breathlessly for the answer, but George merely shrugged.
hvd.hxdlgd	They were for the twenty- eighth, thirtieth and thirty- first of May, and the first, third and fourth of June, he said; did n't he?
hvd.hxdlgd	They were nearing the top of the incline where the wall sheered down — was that a crowd collecting there on the path?
hvd.hxdlgd	This is Saturday night, and what progress has been made in the case?
hvd.hxdlgd	Want to see the picture? ” He pulled out his watch, Snapped the case open and ex- tended it across the table.
hvd.hxdlgd	Was he to be spoken of, for instance, as George Holworthy had spoken of Dick Brewster the night before?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was he to go through a repetition of the scene with Langhorne?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was he under surveillance, his every mood and gesture subject to analysis?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was he waiting pur- posely to spy upon him?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was his light not often going as late as this, or later, and had he ever before paused to think or care whether it disturbed the servants or not?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was it nearer now?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was it only last Monday night?—and Leila told us she had lunched that day at the Ferndale Inn, when in real- ity she had been to the city?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was its hiding place really secure?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was she gossiping with the milkman, idling on the porch?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was that what George had meant when he spoke of people being thrown together intimately with too much money and not enough to do?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was the body lying just like this, face upturned, when you saw it first? ” Storm nodded.
hvd.hxdlgd	Was there a stir, a vibration from some- where in the house above?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was there a suggestion of criticism in the other's tone?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was there something prophetic in Horton's speech?
hvd.hxdlgd	Was this agony to be stretched out interminably?
hvd.hxdlgd	We motored out to the Ferndale Inn 22 “ Alone, Mrs. Storm? ” “ Alone, of course.
hvd.hxdlgd	We'll miss you — ” “ Leaving? ” Storm stared.
hvd.hxdlgd	Were any of them pitying him with that careless, half- contemptuous pity reserved for the deceived?
hvd.hxdlgd	Were de- tectives even now scouring the city for a man of his per- sonal description?
hvd.hxdlgd	What a fool he was Where had his nerve gone?
hvd.hxdlgd	What caused it? ”- “ Dr.
hvd.hxdlgd	What could it mean?
hvd.hxdlgd	What could the girl be doing?
hvd.hxdlgd	What did Millard know of Horton?
hvd.hxdlgd	What did it matter, anyway?
hvd.hxdlgd	What did she know of love or loyalty?
hvd.hxdlgd	What did the future hold for him now?
hvd.hxdlgd	What did the man fear?
hvd.hxdlgd	What do they know of this? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hxdlgd	What do you carry that thing around with you for? ” Storm gasped.
hvd.hxdlgd	What had brought them here?
hvd.hxdlgd	What had he done, what had he said when the revelation of Leila's innocence swept him from his moorings of self- control?
hvd.hxdlgd	What has happened? ” He was leaning over the stair- rail now, and his voice, although subdued, held just the proper note of sharp inquiry.
hvd.hxdlgd	What have they done so far?
hvd.hxdlgd	What have they done with her? ” George glanced toward the closed door, and Storm shook his head.
hvd.hxdlgd	What if Carr's sympathetic, friendly manner had been assumed to cloak a suspicion of the truth?
hvd.hxdlgd	What if George had suspected or even known of Leila's affair with Brewster?
hvd.hxdlgd	What if Homachi had discovered and MISSING 207 “ Where shall it be? ” the latter asked.
hvd.hxdlgd	What if Horton should suggest that he go alone?
hvd.hxdlgd	What if commonplace Jack Horton with his petty affairs and affections and ambitions had been snuffed out?
hvd.hxdlgd	What if he had been unlucky in past speculations, if old Foulkes did consider him an unstable weakling?
hvd.hxdlgd	What if he had not got- ten Millard here to- night and loosened his tongue?
hvd.hxdlgd	What if the betraying odor lingered in the room?
hvd.hxdlgd	What is it, Norman?
hvd.hxdlgd	What is on your mind? ” “ What do you mean? ” Storm's eyes narrowed and his voice was ominously calm.
hvd.hxdlgd	What is on your mind? ” “ What do you mean? ” Storm's eyes narrowed and his voice was ominously calm.
hvd.hxdlgd	What matter?
hvd.hxdlgd	What must be his part in this drama which he was staging?
hvd.hxdlgd	What of the man who did not over- reach himself; the man who perfected his coup in advance and left no clues whatever behind?
hvd.hxdlgd	What on earth did he care about the papers that were found in the bag?
hvd.hxdlgd	What right had Jack Horton to flaunt that money in his face?
hvd.hxdlgd	What time was it?
hvd.hxdlgd	What was fifteen thousand a year in a treadmill of precedent and prejudice to a hundred and twelve thousand and the world before him?
hvd.hxdlgd	What was he doing there, dressed save for his shoes and collar, instead of being in pajamas in his own bed, and why was George hanging around?
hvd.hxdlgd	What was that?
hvd.hxdlgd	What was the gist of this letter, Storm? ” “ An intimation that you would advance the loan, ” he responded dully.
hvd.hxdlgd	What was the matter with him to- day?
hvd.hxdlgd	What was the use, anyway?
hvd.hxdlgd	What was there now in all the world for him to fear?
hvd.hxdlgd	What were the officials doing in there so long?
hvd.hxdlgd	What would he say and do when the early edition of the evening papers brought the tidings to him?
hvd.hxdlgd	What would his face reveal?
hvd.hxdlgd	What's the idea? ” “ I ’m not very well; nerves gone to pieces.
hvd.hxdlgd	When, in heaven's name, would he be free from them all?
hvd.hxdlgd	Where are you bound for? ” “ A jumping- off place back in the Alleghanies. ” Horton grimaced.
hvd.hxdlgd	Where had he seen that pretty, piquant, slightly sullen face before?
hvd.hxdlgd	Where were the police, I should like to know? ” Storm smiled.
hvd.hxdlgd	Why could he not bear that in mind?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why could n't he control his treacherous, wandering thoughts?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why could n't the other let him alone?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why could n't they let him alone?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why could she not have fallen so to- night?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why did n't George get rid of them as he had been told to do?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why did n't he keep his smug counsels for those who came sniveling to him for them?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why did n't they have done with it and get out of his house?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why did the fellow stare so infer- nally at him?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why do n't you take it off his hands and close up the house out there?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why drag in the Ferndale Inn and Julie Brewster?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why had Leila kept every scrap of his handwriting as though she treasured it, as though it were precious to her?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why had n't he destroyed those confounded outer sheets of the newspaper?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why had that blundering ass, Millard, told him yesterday?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why not get rid now of the cap which Horton had worn on that fate- ful walk?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why not these also?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why on earth did n't he follow them?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why should golf hold such particularly poignant memories for him?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why, if she wished to conceal her errand to town, had she not been content merely to deny her presence there?
hvd.hxdlgd	Why? ” “ Oh, I ’ve heard things. ” The tip of Holworthy's cigar described a glowing arc as he gestured vaguely.
hvd.hxdlgd	Will he know what to pack? ” George's tone was filled with an anxious solicitude that was almost ludicrously maternal.
hvd.hxdlgd	Will you tell me where you were yesterday? ” Leila laughed lightly but with an unmistakable note of confusion.
hvd.hxdlgd	Would even the elements defy him in his plan?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would he ever clear out?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would his flabby muscles stand the strain of carrying it?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would his implied suggestion bear fruit?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would it have been more natural for him to have presupposed viol- ence, murder, as the physician obviously had done?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would it never catch?

hvd.hxdlgd	Would it never end?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would she note that he had used one less than usual?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would she set all the other rooms to rights before approaching the den, or did she mean to shirk it altogether?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would the thing ever stop rolling?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would this hideous darkness en- velop him forever?
hvd.hxdlgd	Would you have had a policeman dog our footsteps to see that we did n't murder each other?
hvd.hxdlgd	Yes, but he has only gone to the I2 ASHES TO ASHES station with George Holworthy; he'll be back any minute, and then what can I say?
hvd.hxdlgd	You are the head of this bureau, are you not? ” “ I am Captain Nairn, ” the official nodded gravely.
hvd.hxdlgd	You do n't look as if you were much of a hand at it. ” “ Are you? ” Horton laughed boisterously.
hvd.hxdlgd	You have n't been speculating again? ” “ Good Lord, no! ” Storm breathed more freely.
hvd.hxdlgd	You heard nothing after you went upstairs?
hvd.hxdlgd	You know how I'm situated It's been some evening, though, has n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	You read of it, of course? ” Storm pondered.
hvd.hxdlgd	You remember when she told us that she had been out to the Ferndale Inn with Julie?
hvd.hxdlgd	You — you wanted to see him? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgd	You'll find out if he has been hurt or imprisoned somewhere? ” She had taken his assurance as a dismissal and, rising, held out her hand in appeal.
hvd.hxdlgd	You'll keep it a secret that you met me? ” “ Of course. ” Storm nodded.
hvd.hxdlgd	You'll stay here and see me through? ” “ I ’m here, ai n't I? ” George gulped fiercely.
hvd.hxdlgd	You'll stay here and see me through? ” “ I ’m here, ai n't I? ” George gulped fiercely.
hvd.hxdlgd	You're not married, I suppose? ” “ Not me! ” the other laughed, then amended: “ At least, not yet.
hvd.hxdlgd	You've got the habit of luxury xx II4 ASHES TO ASHES “ And no business head?

hvd.hxdlgd	‘ Head bashed in 1 ’ How could he do it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ A cigar, then? ” He opened the humidor and passed it around.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ A trite, time- worn trick of the deceived husband, I admit, but it served 1 You thought yourself secure, did n't you?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ About the other matter P ” “ You mean Leila's estate? ” Foulkes'tone softened.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ All your fishing gear is down at Greenlea, is n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Any time limit? ” “ Oh, well, if the fellow succeeds in getting out of the country ” Millard hedged.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Burglars here in the night?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ But let me carry that bag, wo n't you?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ But this — Du Chainat is all right, you say? ” he stam- mered.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Ca n't you realize that it will avail you nothing, that it did not deceive me even yesterday?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Carry yo'bag, suh?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Cocktail? ” he asked suggestively.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Come on, old man, your umbrella's leaking. ” “ Is there a subway station near you? ” “ Yes, of course, only a block or two away.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Come up about seven, will you? ” He rang off, his mind in a quandary.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Could n't we move her, sir?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Did n't Leila tell you?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Did n't the papers speak of a struggle?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Did you get George Holworthy on the'phone, Doctor? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Disposition of the house? ” he echoed.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Do n’t you think it would be well to call in Carr and have him look you over and give you something quieting?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Do n’t you think it's a bit stuffy in here?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Do you know, Mr. Storm, if your wife had any enemies?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Do you remember that she complained of feeling ill that night? ” George nodded.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Du Chainat?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Early enough for your golf, I mean? ” “ No, I sha n’t be out here until late.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Even I — well, it did look pretty black against him, did n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ For you, I mean?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Getting deaf, or something?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Good God, man, ca n't you see I ’m in no condition to listen to a lot of vapid condolences?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Has anyone touched the body? ” Dr. Carr spoke with professional brusqueness.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Have n’t you looked at the evening papers? ” asked I34 ASHES TO ASHES George.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Have you any reason for thinking that he met with foul play other than the fact of his disappearance, Miss Saulsbury?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Have you forgotten what day to- morrow is? ” “ ‘ To- morrow? ’ ” Storm repeated blankly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Have you forgotten what day to- morrow is? ” “ ‘ To- morrow? ’ ” Storm repeated blankly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ His cleverness did n't get him far, did it? ” he remarked with elaborate carelessness.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ His proposition was legitimate? ” “ Absolutely.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How about our wager, Millard?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How about the South American investment?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How can they be sure? ” he stammered.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How is everyone out at the Coun- try Club? ” “ Fine! ” Millard waxed enthusiastic at the welcome change of topic.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How long will it take you to convert my securities into cash? ” he demanded.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How on earth are we going to start on Monday if you do n't make up your mind where you want to go?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How're you going to tell a crook nowadays?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ How's the golf coming along? ” “ Hang golf l ’ Millard exploded.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I knew that my wife had not been with you. ” Could that be his own voice speaking with such quiet restraint?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I mean, if you should stay over with me —? ” “ Trouble?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I mean, if you should stay over with me —? ” “ Trouble?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I say, is n't there anything that I can do?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I say, though, why do n't you get up early now and then and play a round or two with me before breakfast?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I say, you have seen the papers? ” Storm started.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I wonder if it could have been Jack Horton and another man whom the policeman saw? ” George cogitated.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I wonder who was giving the stag house- party up in West- chester for which the Colonel was bound when he hailed me?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I ’ve been roughing it for years, in one way and another; mining camps, oil leases, cattle ranches and even a tramp steamer. ” “ Really?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ I ’ve reproached myself a hundred times with not being at hand, but how could I know? ” “ Forgive me!
hvd.hxdlgd	“ In Heaven's name, ca n't they respect my — my grief?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Invented what luncheon? ” “ Do n’t you remember when I dined here with you God!
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Is n't it hell? ” he soliloquized.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Look here, Storm, have you questioned the servants?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Look here, what have you got up your sleeve? ” he de- manded.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Looks like business, does n’t it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Mammoth Trust, eh? ” he repeated.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Money for your gang out there? ” “ You ’ve guessed it, son. ” Horton sat up suddenly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Norman I When did you come in P Why do you look at me so strangely?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Norman, do n't you want to pack up and come and stay in town with me for a few days?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Not much danger of his having suffered an attack of apha- sia, is there, Captain?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Not taken your shower?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Not — not in town to- day, you say? ” “ He ‘ phoned just now from his country place; he'll be in to- morrow.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Odd about those papers which were stuffed into the bag, was n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Odd thing, was n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Of course I'll win, Storm; that man and the money will be found! ” “ So it is ‘ that ’ man now, eh? ” Storm watched him nar- rowly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Oh, Mr. Langhorne, you've heard of a man named Du Chainat, I believe? ” The president looked up in surprise at his subordinate's presumption.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Oh, did I tell you that I saw Horton's girl yesterday; this Miss Saulsbury? ” “ Where? ” George demanded, staring.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Oh, did I tell you that I saw Horton's girl yesterday; this Miss Saulsbury? ” “ Where? ” George demanded, staring.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Oh, what are you going to do? ” Brewster drew himself up, and his slight, dapper figure assumed a sudden dignity it had not borne before.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Old Jim certainly knows how to live, does n't he, from percolators to night- lights?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ One of my old attacks you mean? ” She laughed lightly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Papers? ” he repeated vaguely.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Run out to Greenlea and dine with us soon, Holworthy; I suppose it is no good asking you, Storm?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ See that place on the wall there by the bush?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Shall we be getting on, Norman?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Some different from your berth here, is n't it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ That couple walking, I mean?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ That so? ” Horton looked up, interested.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ That was why she invented that luncheon at the Ferndale Inn — ” “ What? ” demanded Storm, aghast, How much did George know?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ That was why she invented that luncheon at the Ferndale Inn — ” “ What? ” demanded Storm, aghast, How much did George know?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ The Jap you got for me?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ The manse or Bryan's or out on the Post Road? ” Storm did not reply.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ The murderers and the money? ” Storm laughed.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ The other gentlemen —? ” “ They're still here.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Too small a proposition for him to tackle, eh? ” he ob- served.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ We ’re not going anywhere this evening! ” “ Are n't we? ” Storm laughed.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Well, what is it? ” Storm demanded peremptorily, but still in that subdued tone.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What about the bag?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What are you silent about, old man? ” “ Nothing; I ’ve been thinking, ” George responded.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What do you mean? ” Storm shot the question at him almost fiercely.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What do you say to a little stroll, Jack, before we hit the hay? ” he asked with a studied carelessness.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What do you take me for?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What do you think about the case yourself? ” he queried at last, abruptly cutting off the flow of reminiscence.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What is his line? ”- “ Real estate.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What is it, old man? ” he began genially, and then at sight of the other's face he paused abruptly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What is it?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What is the game, anyway, Jack?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What is your proposition, Monsieur, if I may ask?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What is your theory as to how Jack came to his death? ” “ Well, ” George helped himself to a cigar.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What on earth are you doing down here?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What should be on my mind, George? ”- “ I do n't knowl Hang it, I wish I did l ’ ” the other re- torted.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What's the matter with you? ” George demanded in good- natured sarcasm.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ What?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ When did this Du Chainat leave America? ” “ Three weeks ago, according to the paper.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Where are we going, anyway?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Where are you living? ” he asked, with a trace of ner- VOuSneSS.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Where are you off to? ” “ Lunch, ” replied the other briefly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Where did you get your philosophy? ” “ From sticking it out. ” George stared straight ahead of him, and his tone was a trifle grim.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Where is your old camp outfit? ” he asked.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Where, old chap?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who are all those telegrams from?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who are you, my dear? ” His fatherly tones showed no indication of change or added interest.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who in the world did it, sir? ” Storm started.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who is she? ” he asked; then correcting himself hastily, “ I mean, where does she come from?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who is she? ” he asked; then correcting himself hastily, “ I mean, where does she come from?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who re- voked twice in one evening —? ” “ That was because we were playing for low stakes.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Who turned on that light instead of drawing aside the curtains? ” “ It must have been on all night.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Why do you think that? ” “ Well, you see, I ’ve watched the Captain before, ” replied Millard.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Why?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Will you answer one more question, please?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Will you smoke?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Win?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You are not actually preparing to go away, are you? ” “ I told you on Sunday, ” Storm reminded him grimly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You ca n't tell what a man will be in twenty years'time. ” Was that his own voice speaking so coolly, so casu- ally?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You do n't know that policeman's number, do you, Millard?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You reside here in New York? ” “ No.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You seem hardened, defiant, just in the frame of mind to do something desper- ate?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You were eavesdropping, spying upon me in your insane, unfounded jealousy and suspicion'Why did you not follow me as well?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You ’ll be going in for the tournament? ” he enquired briefly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You ’ll come too, George? ” George nodded and blew his nose resoundingly.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You ’ll go away for a- a rest, wo n't you?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You ’ll ring, sir, if you want anything?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ You ’re traveling light, but I can make you com- fortabe for the night — ” “ Comfortable? ” Horton spread his legs out luxuriously.
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Your friends at Headquarters have given up the idea of a gang, then?
hvd.hxdlgd	“ Your old man was a big bug there at one time, was n't he?

mdp.39015011022574	And you, Sam? mdp.39015011022574 Aw, Mr. Mellon, who ever done the like of that to a lady? ” the old Irishman began.
mdp.39015011022574	Con? ” He whispered it, unaware that he did so. mdp.39015011022574 Did Mr. Thomas forget his umbrella, Thady? ” he asked.
mdp.39015011022574	Did you kill her? ” she asked, in a hushed voice. mdp.39015011022574 Did you take its number? ” Aimée shook her head.
mdp.39015011022574	Do you mind stopping at Miss Ruland's with me? ” This was a change of subject with- out intentional avoidance. mdp.39015011022574 Do you think I carry this for ornament?
mdp.39015011022574	Friend of the murdered woman? ”Most unlikely.
mdp.39015011022574	Have you ever asked yourself if Harvey could have done this thing? mdp.39015011022574 Here in this foyer?"
mdp.39015011022574	How could you think such a thing? mdp.39015011022574 How did she explain them? ” “ The best she could.
mdp.39015011022574	How do you find him? ” she asked. mdp.39015011022574 How do you happen to speak such excel- lent English, Aimée? ” Sam asked, abruptly.
mdp.39015011022574	I leave it to everybody — was there any hint that this was to be a Cinderella party? mdp.39015011022574 IMI kill Connie? ” Sam at last found his tongue.
mdp.39015011022574	Is Mr. Thorne her nephew?
mdp.39015011022574	Is that all you know of the matter, Aimée? ” “ Not quite, m'sieur. mdp.39015011022574 Is that you, Miss Livingston?
mdp.39015011022574	Jealousy, huh? mdp.39015011022574 Let's see what you'd say?"
mdp.39015011022574	Listen, Sam, ” said Ed, as solemn as one making a vow: “ I'm done with all women, do you hear me? mdp.39015011022574 Lou all right?"
mdp.39015011022574	Money? ” Oliver started as if he had been talking to himself and was surprised to find that he was not alone. mdp.39015011022574 Nor any dame in a white dress?"
mdp.39015011022574	Perhaps, then, when ye come back, ye'll be tellin'me what I'm to do with the um- brella?
mdp.39015011022574	Really, Lou, is n't it a little silly to flare up like that about an affair that is very plainly pure business on Ed's part? mdp.39015011022574 Shall we go at once?"
mdp.39015011022574	Surely that shows she was afraid? mdp.39015011022574 We were ready to sail today, but where is he, I ask you?
mdp.39015011022574	What umbrella? ” Sam paused in button- ing his overcoat to the chin. mdp.39015011022574 Where was Sing the night that Connie died?"
mdp.39015011022574	Who did you think would be calling on me at this ungodly hour that you warned me to let no one else in?
mdp.39015011022574	Who's the other 282 DEATH WEARS A MASK skirt? mdp.39015011022574 You are n't blaming me for what? ” he asked.
mdp.39015011022574	You ca n't mean that anyone would be so brutal as to fancy that I'd harm Connie, Miss Lucilla? ”'he burst out at last. mdp.39015011022574 You mean she was n't a society dame? ” The Inspector had pricked up his ears at this ex- change between uncle and nephew.
mdp.39015011022574	You? ” she exclaimed involuntarily, and then wished she had remained silent when Gor- man replied in a nasty tone: “ Yeah, it's me. mdp.39015011022574 -It's all right”-the tears still stood in her eyes—"you understand now; but how am I 256 DEATH WEARS A MASK ever going to make Gorman see it?

mdp.39015011022574	... Did you find fingerprints? ” he ended, with sudden curiosity.
mdp.39015011022574	... How about Harry Thaw, did you say?
mdp.39015011022574	... Nine?
mdp.39015011022574	... Oh, Sam, where could he have hidden? ” She bent her brows, then her face cleared.
mdp.39015011022574	... You did?...

mdp.39015011022574	840 DEATH WEARS A MASK now what am I going to do?
mdp.39015011022574	? ” Sam had begun, when Miss Livingston interposed: “ Harvey is man enough to bear the truth, Commissioner Mellon.
mdp.39015011022574	A broker's office is a hotbed of gossip. ”"Do n't I know that? ” Louise's scorn was apparent.
mdp.39015011022574	After all, I was all she had in the world. ” “ Was money her hold over you?"
mdp.39015011022574	Alix?

mdp.39015011022574	An Italian singer, was n't he?
mdp.39015011022574	And did he go out to find her?"
mdp.39015011022574	And if Harvey had slain his wife, what was he going to do about it?
mdp.39015011022574	And she's always effective on the stage. ” “ If you saw us, why were you so damn'un- friendly?"
mdp.39015011022574	And that dagger hilt?
mdp.39015011022574	And the answer is that I know positively that he did not do it, so do n't give that another thought. ”"How do you know?"
mdp.39015011022574	And was he himself free of blame in the matter since he had given him a clue to Con- suela's whereabouts that night?
mdp.39015011022574	And what had become of Hugh Oliver?
mdp.39015011022574	And yet what good would that do?
mdp.39015011022574	Are you game enough to do this?
mdp.39015011022574	At least he does n't seem so to me. ”"How does he seem to you? ” Sam asked, lazily.
mdp.39015011022574	But the blood- surely that had been real blood?
mdp.39015011022574	But why must I hide that I was there?
mdp.39015011022574	But why, why, why?"
mdp.39015011022574	Ca n't you understand that?
mdp.39015011022574	Call a doctor?
mdp.39015011022574	Call up Alix-"“ She'll be at the party — “ Without a mask?
mdp.39015011022574	Cleverer men than you have tried it and failed. ” “ Would you mind telling me on what you base this accusation? ” Sam asked, warily.
mdp.39015011022574	Connie's square emerald gone?
mdp.39015011022574	Could he by any chance be the person disguised as a nun who had escaped by way of Jane Toole's room?
mdp.39015011022574	Could he give him up, turn over to pub- lic justice that soul who must now be on the rack?
mdp.39015011022574	Could he have overheard the conversation between them?
mdp.39015011022574	Could he have washed it and forgotten it?
mdp.39015011022574	Could she consult Dolan?
mdp.39015011022574	Could she say whether Miss Ruland wore white at the masquerade party at which Mrs. Thorne lost her life?

mdp.39015011022574	Did n't you see my cos- tume?
mdp.39015011022574	Did she show you the emerald ring she took? ” A flush crept into Oliver's pale cheeks.
mdp.39015011022574	Did this mean that the Inspector had understood his calculated in- terruption?
mdp.39015011022574	Did you accomplish any- thing?"
mdp.39015011022574	Did you hope it was your boy friend back again?

mdp.39015011022574	Do you expect your criminals to come up and tip their hats for permission to go here, there, or the other place?
mdp.39015011022574	Do you mean a stran- ger to Mrs. Thorne, Aimée? ” “ That, too, perhaps. ” Aimée nodded ener- getically.
mdp.39015011022574	Do you re- member that terribly cold winter at St. James's?
mdp.39015011022574	Do you think maybe he's mixed up in this murder? ”"I think it more likely he's ashamed to show his face ” Sam began.
mdp.39015011022574	Do you think she knew who it was? ” Aimée pondered this for some time without replying.
mdp.39015011022574	Do you think you ought to have your furs?"
mdp.39015011022574	Do you truly like me?
mdp.39015011022574	Does he expect me to punch a time- clock when I go in or out?
mdp.39015011022574	Does that mean that you never got over Consuela? ”.
mdp.39015011022574	Europe?
mdp.39015011022574	Even a cut when shaving would not be so liberal with blood and who ever shaved in a dress shirt?

mdp.39015011022574	First requirement for houseman, can he see a joke?
mdp.39015011022574	Für instance, I never suspected — did you, Sam? — that she was en- gaged to Hugh Oliver?"
mdp.39015011022574	Für instance, I never suspected — did you, Sam? — that she was en- gaged to Hugh Oliver?"
mdp.39015011022574	Had Consuela Thorne had DEATH WEARS A MASK 217 something that had tempted the house man to commit the deed?
mdp.39015011022574	Had Mrs. Thorne consulted a doctor recently?"
mdp.39015011022574	Had he not once been jilted by the victim?
mdp.39015011022574	Has she cut it?
mdp.39015011022574	Have you seen Connie? ” “ God forbid! ” Thorne said, devoutly.
mdp.39015011022574	He averted his eyes even when the Commissioner addressed him jocularly: “ What's it all about, McCurdy?
mdp.39015011022574	He had a sudden flash of intuition- of warning- what if he himself were not freed from suspi- cion in the eyes of the police?
mdp.39015011022574	His tone was not unfriendly, for who could be hard on one so broken?
mdp.39015011022574	How about something from the Chinese?
mdp.39015011022574	How could he until he had explained the situation?
mdp.39015011022574	How dare she try to befool him?
mdp.39015011022574	How dared you? ” Louise gasped.
mdp.39015011022574	How in hell do you know who was here and who was n't?
mdp.39015011022574	How long had she been dead?
mdp.39015011022574	How much was it worth?"
mdp.39015011022574	How was I to know you did n't fancy yourself a sleuth?
mdp.39015011022574	How was he to explain that?
mdp.39015011022574	How was he to set about it?
mdp.39015011022574	How was she killed?
mdp.39015011022574	I assume that I shall be permitted access to a lawyer?"
mdp.39015011022574	I do n't suppose she killed the poor girl, but that's not sayin'I do n't think she's equal to it. ” “ And now what next? ” Sam asked.
mdp.39015011022574	I even suspected sometimes that she relished the thrill in the possibility that there might be something in it. ”"Danger?
mdp.39015011022574	I heard you tell your uncle. ” “ You heard me tell my uncle?
mdp.39015011022574	I know nothing of Pittsburgh upstarts, sir. ” “ And you kept this from me? ” Sam infused all the reproach possible into the question.
mdp.39015011022574	I presume there's little hope Mrs. Thorne was far- sighted enough to make a will?
mdp.39015011022574	I suppose you tried to find out where it was bought? ”.
mdp.39015011022574	I suppose you're too busy to drop in and back me up?"
mdp.39015011022574	I think it probable that duty will devolve on my niece and Miss Alix Ruland. ” DEATH WEARS A MASK 139"The actress?"
mdp.39015011022574	I think it's the third, but she will have to look. ” Sam started toward the elevator, then called: “ Oh, John! ” “ Yes, sir?"
mdp.39015011022574	I told her to leave the door open because I expected Gor- man to follow me —""Did he?"
mdp.39015011022574	I trust that satisfies your curiosity?"
mdp.39015011022574	I wonder where the little liar really went?
mdp.39015011022574	I'll see her the first chance I find. ” “ Sam, ” Louise hesitated, “ might n't it make a lot of trouble?
mdp.39015011022574	I'm going to this fancy- dress ball as- can you guess, Sammie? ” Sam stood off from her and regarded her critically.
mdp.39015011022574	I've an idea it was a man. ” “ Why?"
mdp.39015011022574	If Harvey were guilty, where did his duty lie?
mdp.39015011022574	If anyone discovered it how could he explain it?
mdp.39015011022574	If she did it, I'm sure it was in a moment of-exaltation, can we say?
mdp.39015011022574	If so, where?
mdp.39015011022574	If some one living here done her in, the most likely place is the empty apartment, the Car- ters', did n't you say?"
mdp.39015011022574	In fact, I'd forgotten all about it till I recognized it last night. ” “ So you saw it last night?
mdp.39015011022574	Is there any objection to that?
mdp.39015011022574	Is there anything else you think we ought to do here?
mdp.39015011022574	It cost me nothing and I have no fur- ther use for it. ” It cost him nothing?
mdp.39015011022574	It was a relief when she answered, promptly, “ Is that you, Ed? ” “ No, it's Sam.
mdp.39015011022574	Maybe Miss Ruland will want to go there with us. ”"In a Police Department car?"
mdp.39015011022574	Mr. Mellon had said his man was out, but had anyone checked up on his movements?
mdp.39015011022574	Must one not have a respect for what one fears?"
mdp.39015011022574	Need it, Inspec- tor?
mdp.39015011022574	Now is n't that amusing?
mdp.39015011022574	Now is there anything that you wish me to explain to you? ” Dolan, a little red in the face, stuck to his guns.
mdp.39015011022574	Oliver has not communicated with the apartment here?"
mdp.39015011022574	Only who's to swear they were there all the time?
mdp.39015011022574	Ought you to be going out so soon when you've had a touch of the grippe?"
mdp.39015011022574	Put her in Miss Ruland's place?
mdp.39015011022574	Ruin a real actress for her, who was only going on the stage again out of vanity?
mdp.39015011022574	Sam nodded reassuringly as he asked,"Have you seen Alix? ” “ No, she's not here, is she?
mdp.39015011022574	Sam nodded reassuringly as he asked,"Have you seen Alix? ” “ No, she's not here, is she?
mdp.39015011022574	Securing his attention under difficulties, Sam mentioned that Harvey wanted to know where the yacht was berthed and when he expected to sail?
mdp.39015011022574	Shall I ask her if he came?"
mdp.39015011022574	Shall we get going, In- spector? ” DEATH WEARS A MASK 249 her.
mdp.39015011022574	She only laughed. ” “ Was this a large woman? ” Sam was try- ing to find a reason for a fear that evidently was not assumed.
mdp.39015011022574	She was leaving just as Miss Ruland came into the foyer. ” “ Did they speak? ” Dolan asked.
mdp.39015011022574	She was placed there afterward. ”"Louise, ” Sam spoke with an effort,"as a woman, do you judge Alix to be capable of such a deed?"
mdp.39015011022574	She would say, when she came in,'Comment ça va, Aimée?
mdp.39015011022574	Shooting craps, was n't he, instead of being on his job?
mdp.39015011022574	Since Louise had not committed the murder, who had?
mdp.39015011022574	Sing had said,"She was quite dead before I took the ring- Before I took — ” But how was she to go about convicting him?
mdp.39015011022574	Sing?"
mdp.39015011022574	So your mother did this herself?
mdp.39015011022574	Some of your own bene- dictine, or Scotch?
mdp.39015011022574	Suppose he had an- other woman?
mdp.39015011022574	Suppose we go and sit in it while we talk?
mdp.39015011022574	Surely no living woman was ever as motion- less as that form posed so lightly in the corner of the bench?
mdp.39015011022574	Surely that's being an actress?
mdp.39015011022574	Tell him, Aimée. ” “ It is a strange woman, m'sieur, who has come again and again demanding madame. ”"A strange woman?
mdp.39015011022574	That is, unless she had been ill. How about that, Aimée?
mdp.39015011022574	That man appears to have the Midas touch. ” “ About the little lady in black? ” Alix asked.
mdp.39015011022574	That seemed unlikely, for if he had committed DEATH WEARS A MASK 121 the crime, why, knowing Connie to be dead, would he go to the ball?
mdp.39015011022574	That will make my directing things here more natural. ” “ Had Connie anything to leave? ” “ Strangely enough, she may have had con- siderable.
mdp.39015011022574	The evening paper?
mdp.39015011022574	The way he disap- peared now — that ai n't natural, is it?
mdp.39015011022574	Then she gave me orders not to admit a little lady in black silk. ”"Had you described her? ” Sam asked sharply.
mdp.39015011022574	Then, with a certain hope in the cadence of his voice, “ Has she changed? ”( Perhaps he thought a change would bring him release.)
mdp.39015011022574	There certainly ought to be a law-- Suppose Mrs. Thorne stood in his way more'n we know?
mdp.39015011022574	This woman passée- past her prime — what was it Louise had said?
mdp.39015011022574	Thorne's?"
mdp.39015011022574	Thorne? ” Sam supplied the name.
mdp.39015011022574	US 16 DEATH WEARS A MASK"You heard me, Sing?
mdp.39015011022574	Understand, without my testimony it is doubtful if they could convict him; but what is to prevent my giving it? ” 818 DEATH WEARS A MASK unmarked.
mdp.39015011022574	Understand?
mdp.39015011022574	Was Sing a legitimate suspect?
mdp.39015011022574	Was he the sort of man who would rather see her dead than know her married to an- other?
mdp.39015011022574	Was it the time element?
mdp.39015011022574	Was it then in the possession of the police?
mdp.39015011022574	Was suspi- cion in this case to be directed away from one of his friends only to settle more firmly on another?
mdp.39015011022574	Was that the key to the riddle?
mdp.39015011022574	Well, it's none of my business, but why 126 DEATH WEARS A MASK lie gratuitously?
mdp.39015011022574	Were there any other messages for me?"
mdp.39015011022574	Were you coming home?"
mdp.39015011022574	What danger are you talking about? ” Dolan growled.
mdp.39015011022574	What did that indicate?
mdp.39015011022574	What did that mean?
mdp.39015011022574	What do I try him with?
mdp.39015011022574	What do you say?
mdp.39015011022574	What had he done with it?
mdp.39015011022574	What if his wire were tapped?
mdp.39015011022574	What provoca- tion could have caused him to commit such a crime, if he had committed it?
mdp.39015011022574	What time do you usually start for your office?
mdp.39015011022574	What use?
mdp.39015011022574	What was it Harvey had said?
mdp.39015011022574	What will you have?
mdp.39015011022574	What you all want is to get in here, is n't it?
mdp.39015011022574	What's to prevent his storing this bus till we've forgotten all DEATH WEARS A MASK 239 about it?
mdp.39015011022574	When the school gave a torchlight skating party on the lake and the ice on the 12 DEATH WEARS A MASK trees dripped fire?
mdp.39015011022574	Where could I have had the news?
mdp.39015011022574	Where was she killed?
mdp.39015011022574	Where? ” Dolan 136 DEATH WEARS A MASK 137 asked, sharp suspicion in his keen stare; and Sam was aware of the pitfall he had prepared for himself.
mdp.39015011022574	Who had been in the elevator with her?
mdp.39015011022574	Who had done this frightful deed?
mdp.39015011022574	Who then had dealt her that blow in the back?
mdp.39015011022574	Why did n't I remember it before?
mdp.39015011022574	Why did no one say that be- fore? ”"It never occurred to me that you did n't know it, ” Sam replied, truthfully.
mdp.39015011022574	Why did she never go on the stage again?
mdp.39015011022574	Why does he feel that he must keep up a bluff with me?
mdp.39015011022574	Why was Sing spying on him?
mdp.39015011022574	Why, it's done every day. ” “ Of course it's possible;?
mdp.39015011022574	Without thought of gain?
mdp.39015011022574	Wo n't you be an angel and give us a decent cocktail before we go up?
mdp.39015011022574	Wode- 342 DEATH WEARS A MASK house or the New Yorker?
mdp.39015011022574	Woke up sudden like, out"“ What is your name? ” “'Tis Jane Toole.
mdp.39015011022574	Would he never find rest and quiet?
mdp.39015011022574	Would this death prove a release for him from the spell his wife had thrown over him?
mdp.39015011022574	Would this nightmare never end?
mdp.39015011022574	Yet what was the use of going to bed if he could n't sleep?
mdp.39015011022574	You are Police Commissioner now, are n't you?
mdp.39015011022574	You do n't deny that? ” “ Why should I?
mdp.39015011022574	You do n't deny that? ” “ Why should I?
mdp.39015011022574	You must have noticed that. ” “ And was they all crying? ” The detective muttered, belligerently.
mdp.39015011022574	You would need to see them to believe. ” “ Big? ” Alix had a vision of waving ostrich plumes.
mdp.39015011022574	You? ” “ No.
mdp.39015011022574	“ A lady in a white nightgown? ” Sam ad- dressed the detective, while his heart sank at this mention of Alix in her Josephine costume.
mdp.39015011022574	“ After that pretty piece you sent to the papers, what rights do you think you have?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ Ai n't that the best place they could be if they did it?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Alix? ” he commenced in a strangled voice, then cleared his throat.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Am I to be insulted as well as for- cibly restrained and humiliated?
mdp.39015011022574	“ An'you do n't read the evening papers?
mdp.39015011022574	“ And what becomes of my fine promises to DEATH WEARS A MASK 71 uphold the cause of justice at any cost?
mdp.39015011022574	“ And why did you go out?
mdp.39015011022574	“ And why do you assume that he does not also know?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Any more news of that car?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ Been on edge, has he?
mdp.39015011022574	“ But why should I waste even one lie on you when the truth will serve?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Ca n't you trust Sam? ”"Yes, ” said Alix Ruland; then to Louise's ear her voice took on a deeper note: “ Yes, you're right.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Can we have stumbled on the murderer?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Connie?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ Dead, murdered? ” As if unable to com- prehend what was stated so uncompromis- ingly.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Did Mrs. Thorne never receive her? ”"Never.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Did either of you know this man Oliver???
mdp.39015011022574	“ Did either of you know this man Oliver???
mdp.39015011022574	“ Did either of you know this man Oliver???
mdp.39015011022574	“ Did n't I tell you she was marvelous?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Did you never hear that'Too many cooks spoil the broth?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Do you know how to manage this gadget? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Do you make sense of that? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Do you see that sawed- off man walking away from us?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Do you think the police should be told?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Do you think you can manage him?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ Do you want me to think that my uncle knows about this murder and is concealing his knowledge?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Does a man buy a play outright?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Gay little lady? ” Dolan suggested gen- ially.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Go after Lou yourself. ”"What time is it?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ How about these people? ” The Inspector stared around.
mdp.39015011022574	“ How came the body to be put back in the elevator? ” Sam objected.
mdp.39015011022574	“ How could I bear to learn the part?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ How did you happen to discover the body, Miss Liv- ingston?
mdp.39015011022574	“ How do you know?
mdp.39015011022574	“ How do you mean buy it from him, Miss Ruland? ” It was Dolan, exploring new fields, who asked the question.
mdp.39015011022574	“ How is that possible?
mdp.39015011022574	“ How- how did you get back into the apartment in Beekman Place without being seen? ” Sam shrugged his shoulders irritably.
mdp.39015011022574	“ I judge that is all, Inspector? ” “ Just one question, ” said Dolan.
mdp.39015011022574	“ I mean to find Connie's mur- derer, and then-""And then? ” Sam repeated, interrogatively.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Is it you is tellin'me that?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Is that all you know? ” “ Every damn'thing,"Dolan said, gloom- ily.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Is that all? ” Sam asked, grimly.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Louise? ” he said, interrogatively.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Miss Ruland left no message for me?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ More?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ Of what? ” Alix cried, goaded beyond her endurance.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Offhand, who would you expect him to be?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ Oh, it's you, is it?...
mdp.39015011022574	“ Oh, ma'am, where are you going? ” she de- 338 DEATH WEARS A MASK manded.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Oh, poor Sammie, what did you do?
mdp.39015011022574	“ On what do you base it? ” “ On the following evidence.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Second floor? ” “ An old grouch named Scott, aged seventy or a hundred.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Servants living there? ” “ I believe not.
mdp.39015011022574	“ She did n't say who that was? ”!
mdp.39015011022574	“ She had not even little sick- nesses like other people. ”"You would have known of it?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ So you think I'll pass? ” DEATH WEARS A MASK 21 “ Pass?
mdp.39015011022574	“ So you think I'll pass? ” DEATH WEARS A MASK 21 “ Pass?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Sup- pose I drop in on you this evening?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Sure now, Mr. Mellon, ca n't ye tell this man to quit pesterin'me?
mdp.39015011022574	“ Tell me, Aimée, when the automobile drove away, what did you do? ”"Me? ” Aimée was surprised.
mdp.39015011022574	“ Tell me, Aimée, when the automobile drove away, what did you do? ”"Me? ” Aimée was surprised.
mdp.39015011022574	“ The police?"
mdp.39015011022574	“ There is something else you have thought of? ” “ No, mademoiselle, nothing new.
mdp.39015011022574	“ There's something greater than justice, Sam dear. ” “ What's that? ” he asked, curtly.
mdp.39015011022574	“ This young lady left quite early in the evenin. ” “ Are you sure of that, Thady?"

hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—And why should n't Mr. Bonnington ride, sir, as long as there's a carriage in my stable?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—But, sir, why did n't the carriage come, I say?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—Oh, you were minded to do it in Italy, were you?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—Well?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—What?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—Why do you grin, you Cheshire cat?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—Why, John, you are not going to leave me?
hvd.hw1ynh	MILLIKEN.—You come into your property?
hvd.hw1ynh	MRS. B.—When did you say your son was coming, Lady Kickle- bury?
hvd.hw1ynh	MRS. P.—And the under- clothing, my love- little Amelia's under- clothing?
hvd.hw1ynh	MRS. PRIOR.—How is your cough, Mr. Howell?
hvd.hw1ynh	Making for my hand, Max, says she, will you forgive me?'
hvd.hw1ynh	Mamsell, ontondy- voo?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mary.—Law, John, whathever do you mean?
hvd.hw1ynh	Master Frederick was not hurt, I hope?
hvd.hw1ynh	Max, dear Max, will you forgive me?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.-Oh, Touchit knew it, did he?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—How can I ask your pardon, Miss Prior?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—How do you mean I know?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—I suppose, Miss Prior, you will also be disposed to — to follow Mr. Howell?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—Sink the name?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—So you are ashamed of your father's name, are you, George, my boy?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—Why was the carriage not sent for me, Howell?
hvd.hw1ynh	MilliKEN.—Why?
hvd.hw1ynh	Milliken.—Well, sir, suppose her ladyship did take the carriage?
hvd.hw1ynh	Milliken.—What is this I hear?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mine was the ruin of me: what might I not have been now but for that wig?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.--And, Captain Touchit, you will stay, I hope, and dine with Mr. Milliken?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.-And you kept my secret?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.-But you will still wait upon us — upon Mr. Milliken, for a day or two, wo n't you, John?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.-Do you know the meaning of that threat, Mr. Howell?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.-They have been a little spoiled, and I think Mr. Milliken will send George and Arabella to school, mamma: will you not, Horace?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.—To quit you, now you know what has passed?
hvd.hw1ynh	Miss P.—You did not give him your new grey coat?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mr. Tom replied immediately, “ I wo n't be a good lad, and I'd rather go to than stay with you! ” “ Will you leave your brothers and sisters?"
hvd.hw1ynh	Mrs. B.- Is this collusion, madam?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mrs. B.-And what is that, Prior?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mrs. B.-What is this I hear, my son, my son?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mrs. B.—Do you really like it?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mrs. P.-And I may come, too?
hvd.hw1ynh	Mrs. P.-Is it- is it true, Julia?
hvd.hw1ynh	My lady with the ermine tippet and draggling feather, can we not see that she lives in Portland Place, and is the wife of an East India Director?
hvd.hw1ynh	Nay, are there not men who would pay anything to be employed rather than remain idle?
hvd.hw1ynh	Nay, to cut all historical instances short, by going at once to the earliest, what did Adam do when Eve tempted him?
hvd.hw1ynh	No one can say a word against her — not a word. ” “ And pray, Corporal, who ever did?
hvd.hw1ynh	No, Ma; drivin's too slow: and you're goin'to call on two or three old dowagers in the Park?
hvd.hw1ynh	Now do you know who I am?"
hvd.hw1ynh	Now, Mister ah! — What's- your- name?
hvd.hw1ynh	Now, who would imagine that an artist could make anything of such a subject as this?
hvd.hw1ynh	Of Mr. Milliken's mother; of the parson's wife who writes out his stupid sermons, and has half- a- dozen children of her own?
hvd.hw1ynh	Of all European people, which is the nation that has the most haughtiness, the strongest prejudices, the greatest reserve, the greatest dulness?
hvd.hw1ynh	Of you, my dear, to be sure: who else should he care for?
hvd.hw1ynh	Or does ingratitude go so far as that a man should forget the author of his good fortune?
hvd.hw1ynh	Ought n't I to be grateful for these blessings?-yes, I say blessings.
hvd.hw1ynh	Prior, I dare say you would like to dine best, would n't you?
hvd.hw1ynh	Prior?

hvd.hw1ynh	Shall I tell how I became a poet for the dear girl's sake?
hvd.hw1ynh	Shall I tell what wild follies I committed in prose as well as in verse?
hvd.hw1ynh	Shall I whisper to you the story of one or two of my attachments?
hvd.hw1ynh	She is holding out for a settlement; who knows if not for a marriage?
hvd.hw1ynh	She tried to sing as she went up the hill — what was it?
hvd.hw1ynh	Should n't you like to live a lady in your own county again?
hvd.hw1ynh	Sir John Soing to dine, I Kicklebury?
hvd.hw1ynh	Sir, I actually asked one of these fellows, “ What was the nick to seven?
hvd.hw1ynh	Such instances might be carried out so as to fill a volume; but cui bono?
hvd.hw1ynh	Suppose I am your father, do you want to murder me?
hvd.hw1ynh	Suppose all the accessories were away, could not one swear that the man was stone- deaf, beyond the reach of trumpet?
hvd.hw1ynh	TOUCHIT.—How d'ye do, Milliken?
hvd.hw1ynh	TOUCHIT.—What?
hvd.hw1ynh	TOUCHIT.—Why?
hvd.hw1ynh	Take a public- house?
hvd.hw1ynh	Take the twenty- four first men who come into the club, and ask who they are, and how they made their money?
hvd.hw1ynh	Tell me, are the nightingales still singing there, and do the roses still bloom? ”.
hvd.hw1ynh	That woman will do for your honour some day, if you provoke her. ” “ Do for me?
hvd.hw1ynh	The Milliken children, I suppose, have dined already?
hvd.hw1ynh	The gentleman auctioneer must be an artist above all, adoring his profession; and adoring it, what must he not know?
hvd.hw1ynh	The other honest gentleman in the fur cap, what can his occupation be?
hvd.hw1ynh	There was some delay; a call for fresh bones, I think; and would you believe it?
hvd.hw1ynh	They ought to send me away, sir; but I have acted honestly by the children and their poor mother, and you'll think of me kindly when- I- am- gone?
hvd.hw1ynh	They were handed about in confidence at court, and made a frightful sensation: “ Is it possible?
hvd.hw1ynh	This was all very well in France and England; but in Germany what was I to do?
hvd.hw1ynh	Tom stepped out of the coach first; and Hayes asked him, with an oath, where he had been?
hvd.hw1ynh	TouchiT.-What madness?
hvd.hw1ynh	Touchit, will you make a fourth?
hvd.hw1ynh	Touchit.-Miss Prior generally plays, does n't she?
hvd.hw1ynh	Touchit.—What have I said?
hvd.hw1ynh	Touchit.—What is this comedy going on, ladies and gentlemen?
hvd.hw1ynh	Touchit.—Why dress?

hvd.hw1ynh	Was it not an honour to a country lass that such a noble gentleman should look at her for a moment?

ien.35556034075739	Is the security suffi- cient?

ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ May I ask where you live, sir? ’ said I.
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Mr. Hatherley? ’ said he, with something of a German accent.
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ My sole duties, then, ’ I asked, ‘ are to take charge of a single child?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ What are you doing there? ’ he asked.
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ What papers?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Where could I find him?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Why do you think that I lock this door?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Why that?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Why, what do you think?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Yes, I promise. ’ “ ‘ Absolute and complete silence, before, during, and after?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ Yes, sir. ’ “ ‘ As governess?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ You are looking for a situation, miss?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ You do promise, then?
ien.35556034075739	“ ‘ You doubt its value? ” he asked.
ien.35556034075739	“\Vhat ’s in here? ” he asked, tapping the safe.
ien.35556034075739	” I whispered; “ did you see it?
ien.35556034075739	” “ About a month then. ” “ How did he come?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Always. ” “ And why?"
ien.35556034075739	” “ I am afraid the doctor wo n’t allow it. ” “ The doctor?
ien.35556034075739	” “ I do. ” “ Murdered?
ien.35556034075739	” “ I fear not. ” “ Then what has happened to him?
ien.35556034075739	” “ I saw her in conversation with her maid. ” “ And who is her maid?
ien.35556034075739	” “ I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph. ” “ And for present expenses?
ien.35556034075739	” “ In San Francisco, a year ago. ” “ You were travelling in the States?
ien.35556034075739	” “ It was an hour ’s good drive. ” “ And you think that they brought you back all that way when you were unconscious?
ien.35556034075739	” “ No. ” “ Then, what clue could you have as to his identity?
ien.35556034075739	” “ None. ” “ No legal papers or certificates? ” “ None. ” “ Then I fail to follow your Majesty.
ien.35556034075739	” “ Oh, yes, sir; I have only just left him. ” “ And has your business been attended to in your absence?
ien.35556034075739	” “ One of his hands. ” “ One?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Only as much as we can deduce. ” “ From his hat?
ien.35556034075739	” “ She was angry, and said that I was never to speak of the matter again? ” “ And your father?
ien.35556034075739	” “ She was angry, and said that I was never to speak of the matter again? ” “ And your father?

ien.35556034075739	” “ To an English lawyer named Nor- ton. ” “ But she could not love him?
ien.35556034075739	” “ To ruin me. ” “ But how?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Well. ” “ You have a clue? ” “ I have them in the hollow of my hand.
ien.35556034075739	” “ Well?
ien.35556034075739	” “ What do you mean? ” He took an orange from the cupboard, and, tearing it to pieces, he squeezed out the pips upon the table.
ien.35556034075739	” “ What then?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Where, indeed?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Yes, it was only put there a couple of years ago. ” “ Your sister asked for it, I suppose?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Yes, there are nearly always some there. ” “ Ab, and what did you gather from this allusion to a band — a speckled band?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Yes. ” “ Did you become engaged then? ” ‘ i NO., ’ ‘ “ But you were on a friendly footing?
ien.35556034075739	” “ Yes. ” “ Did you become engaged then? ” ‘ i NO., ’ ‘ “ But you were on a friendly footing?

mdp.39015011935346	A fallacy?
mdp.39015011935346	A howl, you call it?
mdp.39015011935346	A long trek?
mdp.39015011935346	Am I disturbing a serious conversation?
mdp.39015011935346	And I suppose that every one else has the same idea?
mdp.39015011935346	And Lady Dominey?
mdp.39015011935346	And Mr. Mangan — he thinks that you are safe over here?
mdp.39015011935346	And help you?
mdp.39015011935346	And how is the doctor?
mdp.39015011935346	And in the second?
mdp.39015011935346	And my own mission?
mdp.39015011935346	And that?
mdp.39015011935346	And that?
mdp.39015011935346	And that?
mdp.39015011935346	And the compass?

mdp.39015011935346	And the news?
mdp.39015011935346	And this one hallucination?
mdp.39015011935346	And this story of his?
mdp.39015011935346	And what about that horrible woman, Mrs. Un- thank?
mdp.39015011935346	And what good would that do? mdp.39015011935346 And who on earth was Mr. Ludwig Miller, after all?"
mdp.39015011935346	And why not?
mdp.39015011935346	And why the devil did the doctor here tell me that your name was Von Ragastein?
mdp.39015011935346	And you are German?
mdp.39015011935346	And you are really well off?
mdp.39015011935346	And you mean to tell me that you really are Everard Dominey?
mdp.39015011935346	And you, dear — I shall call you Everard, may n't I? mdp.39015011935346 And you?"
mdp.39015011935346	And you?
mdp.39015011935346	And your ghost?
mdp.39015011935346	Any from the Black Wood?
mdp.39015011935346	Any ghost alarms last night?
mdp.39015011935346	Any other trouble looming?
mdp.39015011935346	Anything been heard of the rest of my party?
mdp.39015011935346	Anything more from Schmidt's supposed emis- sary?
mdp.39015011935346	Are you aware,Dominey asked him,"that I am expected to call upon the Princess Eiderstrom at seven o'clock?"
mdp.39015011935346	Are you content to live and die like this?
mdp.39015011935346	Are you lumps of earth — clods — creatures without courage and intelligence? mdp.39015011935346 Are you very devoted to my wife?"
mdp.39015011935346	As a matter of curiosity,he asked,"why?"
mdp.39015011935346	At what hour was your appointment?
mdp.39015011935346	Before we leave, could you instruct your clerk to have a list of the Dominey mortgages made out, with the terminable dates and redemption val- ues?
mdp.39015011935346	But how can I leave here?
mdp.39015011935346	But what do you want to drill them for?
mdp.39015011935346	But what possessed you to come without giving us notice? mdp.39015011935346 But where are we?"
mdp.39015011935346	But why not? mdp.39015011935346 But — your wife?"
mdp.39015011935346	But, your Excellency,he ventured,"what about the matter from our point of view?
mdp.39015011935346	By the by, Sir Everard,he enquired, a little later on,"where are you going to sleep to- night?"
mdp.39015011935346	By the by, my friend,he went on,"do you know that you yourself are forgetting your usual caution?"
mdp.39015011935346	By the by,Mr. Mangan enquired,"what sort of terms are we on with the Germans out there?"
mdp.39015011935346	Ca n't you believe,he asked hoarsely,"that I am really Everard — your husband?
mdp.39015011935346	Can a person be perfectly sane,he asked,"and yet be subject to an hallucination which must make the whole of her surroundings seem unreal?"
mdp.39015011935346	Can it be, Leo- pold, that you have lost your love for me? mdp.39015011935346 Come across anything unusual yet?"
mdp.39015011935346	Come, what about these circumstances?
mdp.39015011935346	Cut yourself, eh?
mdp.39015011935346	Dear Henry was always a little cranky, was n't he?
mdp.39015011935346	Did she ever tell you the reason for her journey to Africa?
mdp.39015011935346	Did you kill Roger Unthank?
mdp.39015011935346	Did you see anything of the Germans out there? mdp.39015011935346 Disappeared?"
mdp.39015011935346	Do I fail so often to come up to his standard?
mdp.39015011935346	Do I understand, then,he asked, addressing the newcomer,"that you knew Sir Everard in Africa?"
mdp.39015011935346	Do n't you want to get back to where a different sort of sun will warm your heart and fill your pulses? mdp.39015011935346 Do you hear the wind, how it shrieks at us?
mdp.39015011935346	Do you know whom she mistook you for in the Carlton grill room?
mdp.39015011935346	Do you know, when I was telling it I had the same feeling. — Do you mind crouching down a little now? mdp.39015011935346 Do you mean gone away for good?"
mdp.39015011935346	Do you mind my coming for a few minutes?
mdp.39015011935346	Do you propose,Dominey enquired,"to stay in these parts long?"
mdp.39015011935346	Do you really think so?
mdp.39015011935346	Do you remember,he asked,"that when we talked over your plans at Cape Town, you showed me a picture of — of Lady Dominey?"
mdp.39015011935346	Do you think Sir Everard shoots as well as he did before he went to Africa?
mdp.39015011935346	Doctor, you've got some whisky, have n't you?
mdp.39015011935346	Does he call himself by his own name?
mdp.39015011935346	Does he still select the park and the terrace out- side the house for his midnight perambulations?
mdp.39015011935346	Does n't it say somewhere in the Bible —'A life for a life'? mdp.39015011935346 Ever- ard Dominey pay off the mortgages?"
mdp.39015011935346	Ever- ard? mdp.39015011935346 Everard pay his debts?"
mdp.39015011935346	Exactly what do you want to say to me, Sir Everard?
mdp.39015011935346	Exactly why?
mdp.39015011935346	Expecting visitors to- day?
mdp.39015011935346	Give you a black at snooker, what?
mdp.39015011935346	Good God, do you see this, Harrison?
mdp.39015011935346	Has any one ever seen it?
mdp.39015011935346	Has he locked him- self in?
mdp.39015011935346	Has he sent you to reason with me?
mdp.39015011935346	Has the Princess a suite of rooms here?
mdp.39015011935346	Have n't you ever got up and gone out to see what it was?
mdp.39015011935346	Have we stumbled up against a local supersti- tion?
mdp.39015011935346	Have you the latest news of the Russian mobi- lisation?
mdp.39015011935346	He is to work under your auspices?
mdp.39015011935346	He really left that message?
mdp.39015011935346	Heinrich,he said,"you are sure that the Herr Englishman has the whisky?"
mdp.39015011935346	Hence your presence here, Johann Wolff, eh?
mdp.39015011935346	Her Grace,he began —"Well?"
mdp.39015011935346	His — body has not been found?
mdp.39015011935346	How do you do?
mdp.39015011935346	How is the motor business, Eddy?
mdp.39015011935346	How long will it take?
mdp.39015011935346	How much do you know personallySeaman asked,"of the existent circumstances?"
mdp.39015011935346	How much food?
mdp.39015011935346	How much sugar, please, and will you pass those hot muffins to the Princess? mdp.39015011935346 Human or animal?"
mdp.39015011935346	I am happy. — But, dear, what is the matter? mdp.39015011935346 I am not afraid,"he assured her,"but —""Ah, but you will not scold me?"
mdp.39015011935346	I am to take that as a challenge?
mdp.39015011935346	I cured my- self of that by reading aloud in the bush. — Go on, please?
mdp.39015011935346	I hope you are looking after those troublesome tenants of mine in Leicestershire?
mdp.39015011935346	I suppose I am pretty rocky, eh?
mdp.39015011935346	I thought that you had wormed the whole story out of that drunken Englishman?
mdp.39015011935346	I trust,he observed, chiefly for the sake of say- ing something,"that you are thinking of settling down here for a time now?"
mdp.39015011935346	I, sir? mdp.39015011935346 If I had killed him,"Dominey pointed out,"why was his body not found?"
mdp.39015011935346	If I were n't,she demanded,"should I have been here all these years?"
mdp.39015011935346	If he has so small a following, why do n't you leave him alone?
mdp.39015011935346	If the body should ever be found, am I liable, after all these years, to be indicted for man- slaughter?
mdp.39015011935346	If you walk in your sleep to- night, then,he begged,"you will leave your dagger behind?"
mdp.39015011935346	In a time like this,he remarked significantly,"one begins to understand why one of our great writers — was it Bernhardi, I wonder?
mdp.39015011935346	In this house?
mdp.39015011935346	In what respect?
mdp.39015011935346	In what way?
mdp.39015011935346	In what way?
mdp.39015011935346	Indirectly, then? mdp.39015011935346 Is he the Gov- ernor, or something of that sort?"
mdp.39015011935346	Is her ladyship very much changed?
mdp.39015011935346	Is it not almost time,Dominey enquired,"that the way was made a little clearer for me?"
mdp.39015011935346	Is it of any use sending for specialists?
mdp.39015011935346	Is it very wrong of me?
mdp.39015011935346	Is she on the way home?
mdp.39015011935346	Is there any European news?
mdp.39015011935346	Is this going to be serious?
mdp.39015011935346	Is this wise?
mdp.39015011935346	It has doubtless occurred to you,she continued,"that our friend has accommodated himself wonder- fully to English life and customs?"
mdp.39015011935346	It is something which you do not wish the Eng- lishman to hear?
mdp.39015011935346	It is to be, then?
mdp.39015011935346	It is very good of you to warn me, Middleton,Dominey said,"but I can lock my door, can I not?"
mdp.39015011935346	It was you who planned his disappearance? mdp.39015011935346 It's an old- fashioned way of looking at things now, is n't it?"
mdp.39015011935346	Just a little unsympathetic, is n't he?
mdp.39015011935346	Just one word — so? mdp.39015011935346 Knew him?"
mdp.39015011935346	Lecturing?
mdp.39015011935346	Making money?
mdp.39015011935346	Mangan,he asked a little abuptly,"is it the popular belief down here that I killed Roger Un- thank?"
mdp.39015011935346	May I come in and say good night for two min- utes?
mdp.39015011935346	May I have one more look at it?
mdp.39015011935346	Middleton,he said,"you keep up the good old customs, I suppose, and spend half an hour at the'Dominey Arms'now and then?"
mdp.39015011935346	Mind?
mdp.39015011935346	Mrs. Unthank,he said,"I should like to know why you have been content to remain my wife's at- tendant for the last ten years?"
mdp.39015011935346	My dear Princess,a good- humoured voice re- marked from the window,"four to two the other way, I think, what?"
mdp.39015011935346	Neat, I think?
mdp.39015011935346	No other way in which I can serve you?
mdp.39015011935346	No wife?
mdp.39015011935346	Not on your knees yet?
mdp.39015011935346	Now for something serious?
mdp.39015011935346	Now let me hear what you have to say for your- self, sir? mdp.39015011935346 One hundred thousand pounds, and more?"
mdp.39015011935346	Perhaps you will tell me,Dominey demanded,"what more he would have?
mdp.39015011935346	Presents?
mdp.39015011935346	Really,he replied,"there is not anything so very extraordinary about it, is there?
mdp.39015011935346	Shall I ever have mine?
mdp.39015011935346	She is still in attendance upon Lady Dominey, then?
mdp.39015011935346	She is still, I presume, the only companion whom Lady Dominey will tolerate?
mdp.39015011935346	She regards me still as the murderer of Roger Unthank?
mdp.39015011935346	Should you be very unhappy if I sent her away and found some one younger and kinder to be your companion?
mdp.39015011935346	Sir Everard Dominey?
mdp.39015011935346	Sir Everard Dominey?
mdp.39015011935346	So soon?
mdp.39015011935346	So there were no ghosts walking last night, eh?
mdp.39015011935346	So you two were really friends in Africa?
mdp.39015011935346	Such as?
mdp.39015011935346	Supposing this hallucination of hers should pass? mdp.39015011935346 Supposing,"the doctor suggested,"this man Dominey should return to England?"
mdp.39015011935346	Surely you had your chance out here?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me a little about your career now and your life in Germany before you came out here?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me exactly in what respects you consider me changed?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me that?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me whom to send for?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me, Middleton,Dominey asked,"is Lady Dominey terrified at these — er — visitations?"
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me, what does it mean?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell me?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell us about this hobby?
mdp.39015011935346	Tell us what you meant, Middleton,the lawyer asked, with ill- assumed indifference,"when you spoke of the howling of Roger Unthank's spirit?"
mdp.39015011935346	Terniloff?
mdp.39015011935346	The Kaiser?
mdp.39015011935346	The Princess?
mdp.39015011935346	The beef is salt?
mdp.39015011935346	The boys have their orders?
mdp.39015011935346	The country, when you can get ice, is a paradise this weather, especially when London's so full of ghastly rumours and all that sort of thing, eh? mdp.39015011935346 The superstition remains, then?"
mdp.39015011935346	The time for action has arrived?
mdp.39015011935346	Then for her sake,Dominey suggested in a softer tone,"ca n't you forget how thoroughly you disapprove of me?
mdp.39015011935346	Then it is his ghost, I imagine, who haunts the Black Wood?
mdp.39015011935346	Then what are you looking at?
mdp.39015011935346	Then why do n't you bring your chair forward and come and sit a little nearer to me?
mdp.39015011935346	Then why have you suffered her to remain there all those years?

mdp.39015011935346	There is no water or soda water in the pack?
mdp.39015011935346	There might surely have been some middle way?
mdp.39015011935346	These things have been decided?
mdp.39015011935346	They absolutely believe the place to be haunted, then?
mdp.39015011935346	They know that I wish to start at dawn?
mdp.39015011935346	Unreasonable, you call it?
mdp.39015011935346	Upon me?
mdp.39015011935346	Very terrible, was it?
mdp.39015011935346	Was n't that the Princess Eiderstrom with whom you were talking?
mdp.39015011935346	Welcome?
mdp.39015011935346	Well, you are the master of your own actions, are you not?
mdp.39015011935346	Well?
mdp.39015011935346	Well?
mdp.39015011935346	Well?
mdp.39015011935346	Well?
mdp.39015011935346	Well?
mdp.39015011935346	Well?
mdp.39015011935346	What about that horrible woman?
mdp.39015011935346	What about the Navy, guv'nor?
mdp.39015011935346	What are you afraid that I shall do?
mdp.39015011935346	What are you, you two?
mdp.39015011935346	What brought you out here really — lions or ele- phants?
mdp.39015011935346	What do you say? mdp.39015011935346 What do you think of that fellow and his visit?"
mdp.39015011935346	What do you understand?
mdp.39015011935346	What else?
mdp.39015011935346	What is it that has happened?
mdp.39015011935346	What is it, Middleton? mdp.39015011935346 What is it?"
mdp.39015011935346	What is my preserver's name?
mdp.39015011935346	What is that?
mdp.39015011935346	What is the trouble about my coming back, eh?
mdp.39015011935346	What is your position here?
mdp.39015011935346	What is your will with the wood?
mdp.39015011935346	What shall I tell the gentleman, sir?
mdp.39015011935346	What the mischief do you find to do so far from headquarters, if you do n't shoot lions or elephants?
mdp.39015011935346	What time is that fellow going?

mdp.39015011935346	Where shall we lunch?

mdp.39015011935346	Where the mischief am I?
mdp.39015011935346	Where to?
mdp.39015011935346	Whom do you mean?
mdp.39015011935346	Whose?
mdp.39015011935346	Why do you want to kill me?
mdp.39015011935346	Why not?
mdp.39015011935346	Why should it be?
mdp.39015011935346	Why the mischief is she going out there?
mdp.39015011935346	Will you examine our patient, Herr Doctor, and prescribe for him what is necessary? mdp.39015011935346 Will you permit me,"he added,"to bring back to your memory a relative who has just returned from abroad — Sir Everard Dominey?"
mdp.39015011935346	Will you please listen to me, Leo- pold?
mdp.39015011935346	Will you take me upstairs?
mdp.39015011935346	With regard to anything in particular?
mdp.39015011935346	With the plate?
mdp.39015011935346	Would you care about a partridge drive, or should we go through the home copse?
mdp.39015011935346	Would you meet them?
mdp.39015011935346	Yes, dear?
mdp.39015011935346	Yes,she said a little plaintively,"it's very com- fortable. — Everard?"
mdp.39015011935346	Yet in any great crisis of a nation's history,Dominey queried,"surely there is safety in a multi- tude of counsellors?"
mdp.39015011935346	You are better?
mdp.39015011935346	You are comfortable?
mdp.39015011935346	You are giving up your work here?
mdp.39015011935346	You are going away?
mdp.39015011935346	You are looking for the person who arrived this evening from abroad, sir?
mdp.39015011935346	You are not afraid?
mdp.39015011935346	You are not fond of Mrs. Unthank?
mdp.39015011935346	You are sure, sir,Dominey asked,"that you are not confusing personal popularity with national sentiment?"
mdp.39015011935346	You believe, sir, that that is possible?
mdp.39015011935346	You came to say good- bye,she repeated,"and?"
mdp.39015011935346	You consent?
mdp.39015011935346	You do n't mean to say that you're really Everard Dom- iney?
mdp.39015011935346	You do not know me?
mdp.39015011935346	You find me changed?
mdp.39015011935346	You forgot what?
mdp.39015011935346	You have no idea with whom you are talking?'
mdp.39015011935346	You have remembered all that he told you?
mdp.39015011935346	You know what news has come to me from Berlin?
mdp.39015011935346	You know, then?
mdp.39015011935346	You make difficulties? mdp.39015011935346 You making money, Sir Everard?"
mdp.39015011935346	You mean if the governing party in Germany should change?
mdp.39015011935346	You mean it?
mdp.39015011935346	You mean that I am to go to Germany?
mdp.39015011935346	You mean to deny that you are Leopold von Ra- THE GREAT IMPERSONATION 35 gastein?
mdp.39015011935346	You mean to say that this is altogether on her side, then?
mdp.39015011935346	You mean to say that you've taken up this sort of political business just for its own sake, not for sport?
mdp.39015011935346	You probably had not met the Princess before?
mdp.39015011935346	You refuse to help?
mdp.39015011935346	You say that the Princess is waiting here?
mdp.39015011935346	You think that I have changed, then?
mdp.39015011935346	You think there is no affection between the two?
mdp.39015011935346	You will not enter,she pleaded,"for a short time?"
mdp.39015011935346	You would dare to send me away?
mdp.39015011935346	You would n't put the beaters in there, Squire?
mdp.39015011935346	You would n't shoot at it, Squire?
mdp.39015011935346	You've heard it then, Middleton?
mdp.39015011935346	You, too, are one of those, then, Captain Bar- tram, who are convinced that Germany has evil de- signs upon us?
mdp.39015011935346	You, who came home to her with the blood on your hands of the man whom, if only you had kept away, she might one day have loved? mdp.39015011935346 Your last letter?"

mdp.39015011935346	I fancy I know a little more about gee- gees than I do about the inside of motors, what?"
mdp.39015011935346	I gather that your personation of this English baronet has been successfully carried through?"

mdp.39015011935346	Will you take me upstairs, please?
mdp.39015011935346	Will you walk with me, Caroline?"
mdp.39015011935346	Would you like to hold as a wife's the hand which frightened you so last night?"
mdp.39015011935346	You are not angry?
mdp.39015011935346	You are rather sweeping, are you not, Caroline?"
mdp.39015011935346	You are sure that you perfectly understand your position there as regards your — er — domestic af- fairs?"
mdp.39015011935346	You came to me a little tired to- night, did n't you?
mdp.39015011935346	You can let him stand there — the Englishman who has murdered my lover, who has befooled you?

mdp.39015011935346	You see those wreaths of mist down by the river?

mdp.39015016781372	Call me up if you get anything, will you?
mdp.39015016781372	Called up — about what?
mdp.39015016781372	Can I take you to your home?
mdp.39015016781372	Can you do short- hand?

mdp.39015016781372	Did you tell the police everything?
mdp.39015016781372	Do you know, there is one that resembles you remarkably?
mdp.39015016781372	Does it hurt us much?
mdp.39015016781372	Does n't it mean a damn thing to you?
mdp.39015016781372	Does that help any?
mdp.39015016781372	Downtown?
mdp.39015016781372	Ever hit bottom?

mdp.39015016781372	Got any ideas?
mdp.39015016781372	Got anything?
mdp.39015016781372	Hear about Frey making a confession?
mdp.39015016781372	How about reading them in the barber shop?
mdp.39015016781372	How about the passengers in that tri- motor plane?
mdp.39015016781372	How about this cousin of yours — this cop Bracker?
mdp.39015016781372	How come?
mdp.39015016781372	How do you do it?
mdp.39015016781372	How do you know how I went at him?
mdp.39015016781372	How does Frey look?
mdp.39015016781372	How long have the lines been in the script, Maya?
mdp.39015016781372	How many scripts are there?
mdp.39015016781372	How much did she give you, Doll?
mdp.39015016781372	How much is it?
mdp.39015016781372	How was the concert?
mdp.39015016781372	How'd they know just when they were going out?
mdp.39015016781372	How's business? ” Brenniger coughed heavily. mdp.39015016781372 Howard Frey- killed Reiner? ” Jardinn grunted.
mdp.39015016781372	Hurt much?
mdp.39015016781372	I'm a sociable chap — come along?
mdp.39015016781372	If the last picture was a louse,he said in a shaken tone,"it was your work, you see?
mdp.39015016781372	If you did a human in, Brenny, and had a hundred thousand in cash, you'd use it to keep out of stir — yes?
mdp.39015016781372	If you got something why in hell did n't you get to me with it?
mdp.39015016781372	Is he sober?
mdp.39015016781372	Is it important?
mdp.39015016781372	Is n't that taking it a bit big? mdp.39015016781372 Is that a professional opinion, Max?"
mdp.39015016781372	It's a dead spot, eh?
mdp.39015016781372	It's a tough one, eh, Bennie? mdp.39015016781372 Know who I think did the Reiner job?"
mdp.39015016781372	Like the pajamas, Bennie?
mdp.39015016781372	Listen, Ben- nie, I do n't get to see you —Not Jealous 133"What picture actress?"
mdp.39015016781372	Listen, Irish — you keep away from the office, see?
mdp.39015016781372	Listen, Irish,he said,"did Frey's bootlegger tip some one off that Howard was going a- gunning tonight?"
mdp.39015016781372	May I use your'phone?
mdp.39015016781372	Mind if I stroll around the Bowl?
mdp.39015016781372	Not sneaking out of buying me a lunch, are you?
mdp.39015016781372	Not sore at me, Ede?
mdp.39015016781372	Not that?
mdp.39015016781372	Or are you just using words?
mdp.39015016781372	Read it? mdp.39015016781372 Relative of yours, Ben?"
mdp.39015016781372	Say, want to take that photo along?
mdp.39015016781372	See Irish around anywhere?
mdp.39015016781372	See tonight's papers?
mdp.39015016781372	Should I have seen him?
mdp.39015016781372	Suppose you are caught getting her away? mdp.39015016781372 Sure you were n't tagged?"
mdp.39015016781372	That talk- at the bungalow? ” She nodded. mdp.39015016781372 Then why did you come to me and try to drag Maya Rand into this murder, because you heard her repeating words that were in your script?"
mdp.39015016781372	Want me to pay for the wire you're going to send for a transcript of the court testimony on the case?
mdp.39015016781372	Want me to set her back?
mdp.39015016781372	Want to hear Frey's idea of what happened?
mdp.39015016781372	Want to let the boys in?
mdp.39015016781372	Was he? mdp.39015016781372 We're not going — so soon?"
mdp.39015016781372	Well? ” she said. mdp.39015016781372 What a sweet one who put on?"
mdp.39015016781372	What about Howard Frey?
mdp.39015016781372	What did she say?
mdp.39015016781372	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015016781372	What do you want me to do?
mdp.39015016781372	What explanation am I about to offer you?
mdp.39015016781372	What fear have you?
mdp.39015016781372	What happened to the kid?
mdp.39015016781372	What in hell happened out here? ” he demanded. mdp.39015016781372 What made the bullet mush- room?"
mdp.39015016781372	What made you check up with my watch?
mdp.39015016781372	What makes you think Reiner's life is in danger?
mdp.39015016781372	What part was that?
mdp.39015016781372	What the hell?
mdp.39015016781372	What time have you got, Max?
mdp.39015016781372	What was she sore about?
mdp.39015016781372	What's your play?
mdp.39015016781372	When shall I come to your house? ” She glanced towards her white slippers. mdp.39015016781372 When you looked around, did you see Howard Frey?"
mdp.39015016781372	When you reached the shell, after the lights had come on again, you said:'Hans — what have they done to you?' mdp.39015016781372 Where are you sit- ting?"
mdp.39015016781372	Where'd you get this Brown kid, Ben?
mdp.39015016781372	Where'd you spot him, Irish?
mdp.39015016781372	Who in hell says he did? ” he replied. mdp.39015016781372 Who'd you sell out to, Irish?"
mdp.39015016781372	Who's Bonner? ” Jardinn shrugged. mdp.39015016781372 Who's going to hurt you?"
mdp.39015016781372	Who's going to tag her — and see what she does next? ” Jardinn whistled something from Dvorak's “ New World Symphonybadly.
mdp.39015016781372	Why are you here, Jardinn?
mdp.39015016781372	Why do n't you come through, and let us help Reiner?
mdp.39015016781372	Why do n't you get him in a cellar and make him talk?
mdp.39015016781372	Why do you come to me with this explanation?
mdp.39015016781372	Why do you not break her story down now?
mdp.39015016781372	Why in hell would she set your watch ahead?
mdp.39015016781372	Why not a knife in the back?
mdp.39015016781372	Why not?
mdp.39015016781372	Why the big show?
mdp.39015016781372	Why?
mdp.39015016781372	Why?
mdp.39015016781372	Will I see you out there?
mdp.39015016781372	Yes? ” She said. mdp.39015016781372 Yes?"
mdp.39015016781372	You are afraid Frey will do some- thing to them?
mdp.39015016781372	You believe that sort of thing?
mdp.39015016781372	You had n't met Hans Reiner, had you?
mdp.39015016781372	You have n't any idea regarding the murder?
mdp.39015016781372	You mean — the maestro — was murdered?
mdp.39015016781372	You putting the Gunsted woman on Carol?
mdp.39015016781372	You ran into Carol Torney running around town, early this morning?
mdp.39015016781372	You suspect Howard Frey?
mdp.39015016781372	You think Ernst Reiner did a murder job on his brother?
mdp.39015016781372	You think Frey will murder you?
mdp.39015016781372	You think I did n't work a rifle — but maybe I put the boys there?
mdp.39015016781372	You with him?
mdp.39015016781372	You've got it, have n't you?
mdp.39015016781372	17 i8 Death in a Bowl Jardinn said:"Good enough — how about Howard Frey?"
mdp.39015016781372	A thirder?
mdp.39015016781372	A voice behind him said:"Hello, Jardinn — going to the circus?"
mdp.39015016781372	After he had lighted up the detective said: 66 Death in a Bowl"Anyone working on you?"
mdp.39015016781372	After she'd got through explaining he said: 64 Death in a Bowl"All right — what do you know about this agency, or me?"
mdp.39015016781372	Ai n't you? ” Carol Torney stood in the doorway and swore at Jar- dinn.
mdp.39015016781372	All right — what about it? ” Frey said:"You're cold as hell — but I think you're honest."
mdp.39015016781372	Am I supposed to have done it?
mdp.39015016781372	And do you know what she did?
mdp.39015016781372	Any suggestions?"
mdp.39015016781372	Anyway, he bowed and said:'The pugilist, I believe?'
mdp.39015016781372	Are the bulls working on him?
mdp.39015016781372	Are you all right for that time?"
mdp.39015016781372	Are you going to be square with me?"
mdp.39015016781372	At twelve- thirty, perhaps?"
mdp.39015016781372	Been drinking?"
mdp.39015016781372	Better take a trip away —"Cohn said:"Listen, Ben — what's the use of making it rough for her?
mdp.39015016781372	But I've got to get things right, here in the office. ” She said shakily:"Then why'd you show me the- gun? ” He smiled.
mdp.39015016781372	But what can I do about it?"
mdp.39015016781372	But what has it all to do with my brother's death?"
mdp.39015016781372	But who was lying- Carol or Max?
mdp.39015016781372	Central's voice said methodically:"What was the number you were calling?"
mdp.39015016781372	Cohn asked:"What's the matter with your face — it looks hurt?"
mdp.39015016781372	Cohn said:"Jeeze — trying to figure time, eh?
mdp.39015016781372	Cohn said:"You look all in, Ben — get anywhere?"
mdp.39015016781372	Curlew said:"Any idea who did the job?"
mdp.39015016781372	Death Again i57"What are you doing for me, Jardinn?
mdp.39015016781372	Did n't he let you fire Belle?
mdp.39015016781372	Did you get the keys?"
mdp.39015016781372	Did you hear what I said about keeping away from the office?"
mdp.39015016781372	Did you stay out late tonight?"
mdp.39015016781372	Do I look like a killer?"
mdp.39015016781372	Do you know what that one thing is?"
mdp.39015016781372	Does it matter?"
mdp.39015016781372	Does that make sense?"
mdp.39015016781372	Ever act in a show?"
mdp.39015016781372	Feel better?"
mdp.39015016781372	Frightened thing, is n't she?
mdp.39015016781372	Get anything from her?"
mdp.39015016781372	Got a start?"
mdp.39015016781372	Got anything important on Irish?"
mdp.39015016781372	Got my ticket?"
mdp.39015016781372	Great evening, eh?
mdp.39015016781372	Has n't he tried to fix it with you so that I'll be suspected?"
mdp.39015016781372	Have any of the papers got the studio fight stuff?"
mdp.39015016781372	Have you got any trace of the real criminal?"
mdp.39015016781372	Have you told us every- thing? ” She said firmly:"Howard's dead.
mdp.39015016781372	He around here someplace?"
mdp.39015016781372	He called out again:"Oh, Eddie- give me a ring tomorrow, will you?"
mdp.39015016781372	He did n't knife Irish just because he was drunk and she was working in the agency. ” The plainclothes man said:"I thought you'd fired her, Ben?"
mdp.39015016781372	He grinned, thought: When the hell did she get here?
mdp.39015016781372	He replied:"Miss Rand?
mdp.39015016781372	He said in a steady voice:"Rifle bullet wounds?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said in an angered voice:"You wish to protect a woman who is attempting to black- mail me?
mdp.39015016781372	He said nastily:"What in hell would I want to take that one along for, Leon?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said quietly, almost lazily:"What picture did Carren work on — with you, Maya?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said sleepily:"Yes?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said slowly:"What happened at the paper?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said suddenly:"What about this Rand woman?
mdp.39015016781372	He said to Carol Torney:"What picture actress?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said very quietly:"Perhaps you knew Howard Frey better?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said very softly:"Can you imagine Carol Torney saying about the same thing?
mdp.39015016781372	He said:"Maya — Rand?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said:"Miss Torney, was n't it?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said:"That's too bad — who did it?"
mdp.39015016781372	He said:"Well- she did, eh?
mdp.39015016781372	He said:"What next?"
mdp.39015016781372	How come?"
mdp.39015016781372	How do you like the job?"
mdp.39015016781372	How do you think I know you quarreled with him, in the theatre, if there was n't some- one present?
mdp.39015016781372	How much have you got coming? ” Max Cohn sucked in his breath sharply.
mdp.39015016781372	How'd she- get in?
mdp.39015016781372	How'd you come with the lady from Lajolla?"
mdp.39015016781372	How's Max and that swell kid, Miss Torney?"
mdp.39015016781372	How's the blonde?"
mdp.39015016781372	I mean, at the time of the murder?
mdp.39015016781372	I'd figure that ship out of the deal, would n't I?
mdp.39015016781372	I'm through with you, understand?
mdp.39015016781372	If it comes to you — you will help?"
mdp.39015016781372	If you do n't be- lieve me —"Jardinn said in a mild tone:"Ever read the script of'Death Dance,'Frey?"
mdp.39015016781372	Is he all right, pretty well covered? ” Bracker said thickly:"You ca n't hang this one on Frey, Jardin.
mdp.39015016781372	It might even happen to me, eh? ” Phaley said: “ It might. ” There was the sound of brakes squealing, in front of the bungalow.
mdp.39015016781372	Jar- dinn said:"When this tympani player found the switch there was no one near it?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn asked:"What case?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn asked:"What did he tell Carren?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn asked:"What night was this, Frey?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn closed his eyes and said:"Goddam it — why do n't you keep a pencil on your ear?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn grinned:"That nance O'Reilly?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn narrowed his eyes a little and said absently:"Which one?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said in a low voice:"You were in the shell — when the lights went out?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said with mockery in his voice:"When does the killing come off?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said, still smiling:"What picture did he work in, Maya?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said: “ Dead? ” The man nodded.
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said: “ How'd Irish get out to my place?
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"All right, but why did he turn on you?
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"Anything new?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"Did you talk like that?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"Good — can you get back here around nine?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"How about Carren — could he see it coming?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"How do you know Reiner gave me any sort of a statement?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"How'd you come with the lady from Lajolla?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"Howard Frey in?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"There were no blows struck?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"What city was he tried in?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"What in hell were you doing out at that time?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"What in hell's the use, Pat?
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"What was Maya Rand saying? ” The writer spoke very quietly.
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"Where'd you spot him, Irish?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"You get anything — on the Carren end?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"You have n't been accused of anything yet — why get all nervous before anything tough breaks?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"You think he just happened to wing that plane over there, Brenny?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"You went backstage at any theatres?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"You were acquainted with Hans Reiner, Miss Rand?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn said:"You're not making any mistake?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn?"
mdp.39015016781372	Jardinn?"
mdp.39015016781372	Know any- thing I can use without hurting your graft too much?"
mdp.39015016781372	Know any- thing about music?"
mdp.39015016781372	Know him?"
mdp.39015016781372	Know what she's doing now?
mdp.39015016781372	Maya said coldly, looking Doll Crissy in the eyes:"You say that you know me — that I hired you to get me information regarding Jardinn's agency?"
mdp.39015016781372	My clock ran down — what's the hour?"
mdp.39015016781372	Never mind that — what did you do? ” Cohn stared at Jardinn.
mdp.39015016781372	Not Jealous"What makes you think he killed himself?"
mdp.39015016781372	Odd, was n't it?"
mdp.39015016781372	Or did you just want a job?"
mdp.39015016781372	Phaley asked:"How long, Doc? ” Boyce shrugged his narrow shoulders.
mdp.39015016781372	Phaley called:"How about a drink, Doc?"
mdp.39015016781372	Play fair with me — are you in here for a reason?
mdp.39015016781372	Reiner leaned forward across his desk and asked:"How did you learn of — this scene?"
mdp.39015016781372	Reiner or Frey?
mdp.39015016781372	Reiner?"
mdp.39015016781372	She cried out, panic in her tone:"You there, Bennie- you're coming over, are n't you?
mdp.39015016781372	She might be down there, if you ca n't get her uncle at the house. ” Jardinn said:"What made you think I wanted to get in touch with her?
mdp.39015016781372	She said excitedly:"Oh, why do n't you go away?
mdp.39015016781372	She said quietly:"Want to see the script of'Death Dance'?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said slowly:"You think Howard Frey did murder Hans Reiner?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said slowly:"You're sure I wo n't get hurt?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said thickly:"Carren- the plane pilot? ” Jardinn nodded.
mdp.39015016781372	She said unsteadily: “ What are you getting at? ” Jardinn leaned over her dark head.
mdp.39015016781372	She said weakly:"Well?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said, after a long silence, in a voice that was barely a whisper:"Well?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said, smiling:"Why?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said, with it creeping into her tone:"Does that matter?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said: Lovely Lady 77 Jardinn said:"What next?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said:"Carren hit you — before he killed himself, eh?
mdp.39015016781372	She said:"Did he fall for it?"
mdp.39015016781372	She said:"For God's sake, what is this?
mdp.39015016781372	She tried to cross you, eh? ” Jardinn nodded.

mdp.39015016781372	That gave you a laugh, did n't it?"
mdp.39015016781372	That was a terrible thing, out at the Bowl, eh?"
mdp.39015016781372	The coroner's assistant lighted a cigarette and said:"Where's the body, Jardinn?"
mdp.39015016781372	The desk sergeant said:"Yeah — will you repeat that now?"
mdp.39015016781372	The director stuffed his handkerchief back in a pocket,"What?"
mdp.39015016781372	The photographer said:"How about a picture?"
mdp.39015016781372	Want to hear his story?"
mdp.39015016781372	Want to tell me some- thing else?"
mdp.39015016781372	Well. ” Jardinn said:"How about Frey?
mdp.39015016781372	What about it?"
mdp.39015016781372	What about?"
mdp.39015016781372	What are they doing, framing Frey?"
mdp.39015016781372	What are you clipping — ads for other jobs?"
mdp.39015016781372	What did you do with the money?"
mdp.39015016781372	What did you want to put that Gunsted woman on Cohn for?"
mdp.39015016781372	What do the papers read like?"
mdp.39015016781372	What do you mean, no concert?"
mdp.39015016781372	What do you think Frey will do?"
mdp.39015016781372	What for?"
mdp.39015016781372	What got him — rifle fire?"
mdp.39015016781372	What happened while you were out at the Bowl?"
mdp.39015016781372	What happened — did someone cut her throat?
mdp.39015016781372	What happened?"
mdp.39015016781372	What in hell you going to call the kids?"
mdp.39015016781372	What in hell's it all about?"
mdp.39015016781372	What in hell's the matter with you, Irish?
mdp.39015016781372	What is it you're not telling me?"
mdp.39015016781372	What makes you think I've been around the office?"
mdp.39015016781372	What more would we have to talk about?"
mdp.39015016781372	What of it?"
mdp.39015016781372	What was he stop- ping you from doing? ” Jardinn grinned.
mdp.39015016781372	What will make it easier, Jardinn?"
mdp.39015016781372	What would I do that for — don't I need help?
mdp.39015016781372	When he reached the living- room again Cur- lew said:"Was that nice?"
mdp.39015016781372	Where — at the studio?"
mdp.39015016781372	Where've you been?"
mdp.39015016781372	Who bought you off?"
mdp.39015016781372	Who called you — and what did they say?
mdp.39015016781372	Who is doing the office work?"
mdp.39015016781372	Who worked with you on the lights? ”.
mdp.39015016781372	Who's been in?"
mdp.39015016781372	Who's calling?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why did he put you in that position?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why did you use those words?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why do n't you hunt for the murderer the way — others do?
mdp.39015016781372	Why do you think Frey told that?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why should I?
mdp.39015016781372	Why should I?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why the kick- out, Bennie? ” Jardinn seated himself in the chair back of the center table, near his desk.
mdp.39015016781372	Why were you using this Crissy kid?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why? ”.
mdp.39015016781372	Why?"
mdp.39015016781372	Why?"
mdp.39015016781372	Will you work with me?"
mdp.39015016781372	Wonder how he likes — playing second fiddle?"
mdp.39015016781372	Would she make a good witness in court, I wonder?"
mdp.39015016781372	You coming down here today?"
mdp.39015016781372	You coming?"
mdp.39015016781372	You got a transcription of Reiner's state- ment, eh?"
mdp.39015016781372	You got out of that box in a hurry — what was the idea?"
mdp.39015016781372	You know Ernst Reiner, Leon?"
mdp.39015016781372	You made it bad, you see?"
mdp.39015016781372	You think that someone might take Reiner's life, and that, under the circumstances, you would be suspected?"
mdp.39015016781372	You're a reporter or a cop, I suppose?"
mdp.39015016781372	You're pretty well pro- tected, my dear. ” She moved her head on the silk of a pillow, said bit- terly:"What has this all to do with me, anyway?
mdp.39015016781372	walk?"
mdp.39015016781372	“ Cordova — where's he?
mdp.39015016781372	“ God, I'm tired. ” Phaley said:"How about a drink? ” Jardinn pointed towards the dining- room and the de- canter.
mdp.39015016781372	“ Howard Frey spent money on me?
mdp.39015016781372	“ Know him? ” he asked.
mdp.39015016781372	“ Want to tell me anything- before I start?"
mdp.39015016781372	“ Well? ” Phaley said calmly, using a tooth- pick between words:"Frey knifed Irish- goddam his soul.
mdp.39015016781372	“ What makes you think that? ” he said, getting surprise into his voice.
mdp.39015016781372	“ Yeah? ” he said.
mdp.39015050777385	And what did you see while you were leaning against the pillar? ” was Culligore's next question. mdp.39015050777385 And when you have found him, inspector, what are you going to do with him? ”"Eh? ” Stapleton seemed to think the question a strange one.
mdp.39015050777385	And when you have found him, inspector, what are you going to do with him? ”Eh? ” Stapleton seemed to think the question a strange one.
mdp.39015050777385	Any luck?
mdp.39015050777385	Are you sure?
mdp.39015050777385	Azurecrest?
mdp.39015050777385	But why does The Gray Phantom interfere in the affairs of Mr. Shei? ” Slade chuckled grimly. mdp.39015050777385 But — but I do n't even remember seeing the man, ” she protested artlessly, “ so why should I suppose him to be Mr. Shei? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	By the way, when do we inoculate the young lady? ” “ Better wait till evening, ” suggested Slade. mdp.39015050777385 Do n't you think it strange that the murderer should go to all that risk and trouble to remove the body? ” she went on.
mdp.39015050777385	Do you know where you are? ” the woman went on, tightening her grip on Helen's arm. mdp.39015050777385 For me? ” The Phantom stared incredulously at the instrument.
mdp.39015050777385	Granted, ” said The Phantom, smiling, “ but is that any reason for exterminating the feminine sex? ”! mdp.39015050777385 Have you any idea where your daughter might have gone?
mdp.39015050777385	How about the motive for the murder? ” HELEN EQUIVOCATES 47 “ We're pretty much in the dark there, too, ” admitted Culligore. mdp.39015050777385 How do you like my play? ” She scarcely heard his answer.
mdp.39015050777385	I suppose,Slade went on in melancholy tones, PERPLEXITIES 71 “ that she told you the usual story of mistreatment and persecution?"
mdp.39015050777385	Keeping something up your sleeve again? ” de- manded the inspector, who had noticed the gesture. mdp.39015050777385 Miss Hardwick? ” inquired a drawling voice which she instantly recognized.
mdp.39015050777385	Mr. Vanardy, eh? ” He drew an instrument from his pocket and flashed an electric gleam in her face. mdp.39015050777385 Murderer?
mdp.39015050777385	Not to see what?.
mdp.39015050777385	Now you can understand, ” he concluded,why AN EAVESDROPPER 149 “ But the telephone message? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	Pardon, but have n't we met before? ” The Phantom felt a faint thrill of apprehension. mdp.39015050777385 See that cop? ” Mr. Fairspeckle pointed to a blue- coated figure half a block ahead.
mdp.39015050777385	So, ” said the scientist in queer tones,you think you know him? ” The Phantom nodded.
mdp.39015050777385	Speak a little louder, ca n't you? ” urged the lieu- tenant. mdp.39015050777385 Surprised? ” he inquired, and his smile exposed two rows of flashingly white teeth.
mdp.39015050777385	Well, doctor? ” The stout man turned on the med- ical examiner, whose rubicund face wore a puzzled scowl. mdp.39015050777385 Well, ” said Wade again, this time a little testily,"just what are you going to do about it? ” The Phantom did not answer immediately.
mdp.39015050777385	What do you want to see him about? ” he demanded gruffly. mdp.39015050777385 What else? ” he demanded quietly.
mdp.39015050777385	What's your grievance against the fair sex, Wade? mdp.39015050777385 Why do you call me'poor thing'? ” she inquired.
mdp.39015050777385	Why, if I may ask? ”. mdp.39015050777385 You are Mr. Starr, I believe? ” began The Phan- tom, recognizing the other from photographs he had seen in the newspapers.
mdp.39015050777385	You mean The Gray Phantom? ” “ Yes. ” He hesitated, still searching her face in the light of the electric flash. mdp.39015050777385 You mean the murder of Miss Darrow?
mdp.39015050777385	180 THE ELUSIVE MR. SHEI 181"And just what do you propose to do? ” Miss Dale airily waved her slim, white hand.
mdp.39015050777385	And what were your reasons? ” 40 THE GRAY PHANTOM “ Would you be hurt if I told you I would rather not explain them just now? ”"No; I trust you.
mdp.39015050777385	And what were your reasons? ” 40 THE GRAY PHANTOM “ Would you be hurt if I told you I would rather not explain them just now? ”"No; I trust you.
mdp.39015050777385	Any success? ”"Nope,"he replied complainingly.
mdp.39015050777385	Are n't you starting this thing from the wrong end? ” The Phantom gave him a puzzled glance.
mdp.39015050777385	But how had the man at the other end of the wire learned that The Phantom was in Fair- speckle's apartment?
mdp.39015050777385	But who was Mr. Shei?
mdp.39015050777385	But, if I tell you, you will bring me a bottle of the antidote?"
mdp.39015050777385	By the way, did you obtain any light on the things that were puzzling you? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	By the way, ” and The Phantom fairly jabbed the question at the lieutenant, “ have you seen anything of Miss Helen Hardwick?"
mdp.39015050777385	By the way,"and Culligore frowned disapprovingly, “ what's the idea?
mdp.39015050777385	Ca n't you guess, doctor? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	Can you beat it? ” The Phantom's veins tingled as he hung up.
mdp.39015050777385	Can you trust me?"
mdp.39015050777385	Did Mr. Fairspeckle sus- pect that Mr. Shei and The Gray Phantom were iden- tical?
mdp.39015050777385	Do you agree with them? ” Culligore pulled thoughtfully at his cigar.
mdp.39015050777385	Do you know who Mr. Shei is? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	Does n't the safety of a certain young lady mean anything to you at all? ”"Everything! ” exclaimed The Phantom impulsively.
mdp.39015050777385	Ever suffer from insomnia? ” “ Never."
mdp.39015050777385	Excuse me, will you? ” He strode irately from the room and slammed the door.
mdp.39015050777385	Fairspeckle?"
mdp.39015050777385	For instance, how do I know that you are not a news- paper reporter looking for a sensation?
mdp.39015050777385	Has it occurred to you that I might refuse? ”"Certainly."
mdp.39015050777385	He would lose his hold over you the moment he released Miss Hardwick, and what guarantee would he have that you would carry out your promise?"
mdp.39015050777385	How could he possibly further his scheme by an act of that kind?
mdp.39015050777385	How did you happen to find it? ”"Mr. Vanardy once gave me the directions.
mdp.39015050777385	How did you happen to think of it, Mr. Fairspeckle? ” The other man stroked his lean chin with a self- satisfied air.
mdp.39015050777385	How do you account for the similarity of methods?"
mdp.39015050777385	How is Fairspeckle? ” The lieutenant, a little bleary- eyed and with a trace of diffidence in his manners, looked queerly at the ques- tioner.
mdp.39015050777385	How is the death of Miss Darrow going to help him in an undertaking of that kind? ” A sly smile twitched the corners of Mr. Fairspeckle's lips.
mdp.39015050777385	I almost said some- thing that time, did n't I? ” Helen, conquering her forebodings, ate in silence for a time.
mdp.39015050777385	I seem to remember, though, that a motor horn sounded while we were talking. ” “ Yes, and then? ” Slade bent eagerly forward.
mdp.39015050777385	I suppose you are very anxious to find him? ” “ Rather. ” “ Is n't it strange that he did not give you his new address?"
mdp.39015050777385	I suppose you are very anxious to find him? ” “ Rather. ” “ Is n't it strange that he did not give you his new address?"
mdp.39015050777385	If Mr. Fairspeckle suspected that he was Mr. Shei, why had he not handed his guest over to the police?
mdp.39015050777385	If she were alive I am sure she could tell us several interesting things about — But what's the good of supposing?
mdp.39015050777385	In a few days ”"What about Miss Darrow? ” inquired The Phantom brusquely.
mdp.39015050777385	In the latter case, what could be his reason?
mdp.39015050777385	In the morning, bright and early, I shall start a little campaign. ”"Campaign? ” Wade's eyes bulged.
mdp.39015050777385	Is n't it so? ” The Phantom, momentarily baffled by the older man's shrewd deductions, gazed pensively at the ceil- ing.
mdp.39015050777385	Is n't that true?"
mdp.39015050777385	Just what are you driving at?
mdp.39015050777385	Know of any reason why Mr. Shei should go out of his way to abduct the old geezer? ” “ No, I do n't, ” admitted Stapleton after some thought.
mdp.39015050777385	Mind if I have a look? ” Lowering the weapon a trifle, he picked up the sheet of paper Mr. Fairspeckle had just drawn from the machine.
mdp.39015050777385	Never attend her studio parties?
mdp.39015050777385	Now, in the light 30 THE GRAY PHANTOM of what has happened, I can see it was meant as a warning. ” “ Warning?"
mdp.39015050777385	Remember? ” 126 THE GRAY PHANTOM Helen knew that the critical moment had come.
mdp.39015050777385	SHEI ” “ Miss Darrow saw him, did n't she?".
mdp.39015050777385	Say, boss, would n't it be a joke on you if Mr. Shei should turn out to be a graduate of your own gang?"
mdp.39015050777385	Shei?"
mdp.39015050777385	Then where is he? ” “ That I do n't know.
mdp.39015050777385	Then you spoke a name. ” “ A name?"
mdp.39015050777385	This is a bit out of the ordinary — eh, Wade? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	To begin with, what is the nature of your business with Mr. Vanardy? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	Vanardy not here?
mdp.39015050777385	Want me to? ” His tones were soft and teasing.
mdp.39015050777385	Was n't the murderer's purpose accomplished with the killing of Miss Dar- row? ”"Hard telling.
mdp.39015050777385	Was that it? ” Helen smiled engagingly.
mdp.39015050777385	Was the shot fired at you or at him? ” “ Shot? ” For a moment The Phantom stared be- wilderedly.
mdp.39015050777385	Was the shot fired at you or at him? ” “ Shot? ” For a moment The Phantom stared be- wilderedly.
mdp.39015050777385	What atrocious crime have the women perpetrated against you to de- serve such cruel punishment?
mdp.39015050777385	What became of the bullet? ” mon ame 144 THE GRAY PHANTOM The Phantom explained.
mdp.39015050777385	What do you make of them? ” Stapleton picked up the slips and glanced at them.
mdp.39015050777385	What do you think, my dear? ” Helen's head was lowered over her coffee cup.
mdp.39015050777385	What have you done to Doctor Tagala? ” A thin smile hovered about The Phantom's com- pressed lips.
mdp.39015050777385	What is the matter? ” he murmured.
mdp.39015050777385	What shall we do with this pestiferous Mr. Shei? ” “ What would you suggest? ” cautiously inquired The Phantom, lifting the cup to his lips.
mdp.39015050777385	What shall we do with this pestiferous Mr. Shei? ” “ What would you suggest? ” cautiously inquired The Phantom, lifting the cup to his lips.
mdp.39015050777385	What were we talking about?
mdp.39015050777385	What's your idea, Culligore?
mdp.39015050777385	Who do you suppose it could have been? ” There was no response.
mdp.39015050777385	Why did n't I realize that she was trying to warn me?
mdp.39015050777385	Why should a murderer use a hypodermic injection when there are so many simpler and easier ways of accom- plishing the same result? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	Why the devil did n't you stay where you belong? ”"I could n't, ” replied The Phantom.
mdp.39015050777385	Wo n't you come inside, Miss — er, Hardwick?
mdp.39015050777385	Wo n't you sit down and be comfortable?
mdp.39015050777385	Would Mr. Shei dare let her live after her usefulness to him was past?
mdp.39015050777385	Would you be- lieve that for days at a time I live on nothing but coffee?
mdp.39015050777385	Would you mind opening the window?
mdp.39015050777385	You do n't doubt that Fairspeckle was kidnaped by Mr. Shei's agents? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	You do n't suppose Fairspeckle kidnaped himself? ” “ Stranger things have happened, inspector.
mdp.39015050777385	You were lying down?"
mdp.39015050777385	You will admit the coinci- dence is rather striking? ”"Some people might deduce from it that I am Mr. Shei, ” suggested The Phantom, smiling.
mdp.39015050777385	Your heart is intact, I hope?"
mdp.39015050777385	me? ” 238 THE GRAY PHANTOM A hush, charged with an electric tension, followed the ultimatum.
mdp.39015050777385	“ A bit dictatorial, are n't you?
mdp.39015050777385	“ And the laugh- how do you account for that?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Another cup of coffee, dad? ” was her only reply.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Any- thing wrong? ” The Phantom scarcely heard him.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Are n't you overlooking something, inspector? ” Stapleton stared perplexedly at his subordinate.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Are n't you well? ” “ Yes, dad.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Are you convinced now?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ But what was the object?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Could n't you have shown a little more originality? ” An inarticulate mumble came from Mr. Fairspeckle's lips.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Did she mean,"inquired someone, “ that Mr. Shei was here — that she saw him?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Do n't you know there's a warrant out for your arrest? ” 142 AN EAVESDROPPER 143 “ Several of them, I believe,"calmly replied The Phantom.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Do n't you know? ” The woman, busying herself with a vial of smelling salts, gave Helen a puzzled look.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Do n't you see?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Do with him?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Do you mean that they are going to kill me?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Great bracer for fagged nerves, eh?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Have n't you any idea? ” “ None.
mdp.39015050777385	“ How about the motive? ” suggested Lieutenant Culligore.
mdp.39015050777385	“ How did you know? ”"My sense of smell is fairly good, ” said Culligore, sniffing.
mdp.39015050777385	“ How many letters did you intercept? ” “ I think there were two.
mdp.39015050777385	“ How the devil did you get in? ” he exclaimed ex- 206 THE GRAY PHANTOM"How?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ How the devil did you get in? ” he exclaimed ex- 206 THE GRAY PHANTOM"How?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ I came here to see the Gray — to see Mr. Vanardy. ”"Azurecrest? ” The woman's mind seemed to be slowly struggling out of a daze.
mdp.39015050777385	“ I searched every square inch of the place without finding what I was after. ” “ Yes? ” Starr seemed politely curious.
mdp.39015050777385	“ I suppose we're alone? ” “ Not another soul in the building.
mdp.39015050777385	“ If you've got something on your mind, why do n't you spring it?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ In plain words, then, it's a case of murder? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Is n't he here? ” Slade's lips twitched.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Is n't it just like a woman to act first and look into her reasons afterward? ”"I — well, I suppose so.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Is n't that strange?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Is n't the air stifling? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Is there any reason why anyone should wish to put you out of the way?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Not going away?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Now, is n't that queer? ” he remarked with a wheezy chuckle.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Oh, you mean Miss Hardwick? ” There was an odd tension in The Phantom's tones.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Something queer about that old goat's disappearance-eh, inspector?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Standing up, then? ”"I was n't standing, either."
mdp.39015050777385	“ Strange that the same idea should have come to both of us, is n't it?
mdp.39015050777385	“ That's why I sent for you, Miss"“ You have found no trace of the body?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Then you think Fairspeckle is Mr. Shei? ”"If he is n't, why should he be typing those notices?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Then you think Fairspeckle is Mr. Shei? ”"If he is n't, why should he be typing those notices?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Typewriter? ” he mumbled.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Was your reticence last night prompted by a wish to shield someone? ”"No,"was her prompt reply, and her eyes gazed frankly into his.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What about the seven capitalists? ” the lieutenant went on.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What are you doin'here? ” queried a gruff voice.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What are you doing here? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What did she think of Mr. Shei? ” “ How can anybody tell what a woman thinks?
mdp.39015050777385	“ What did she think of Mr. Shei? ” “ How can anybody tell what a woman thinks?
mdp.39015050777385	“ What did you gain by murdering her? ” DOCTOR TAGALA'S DISCOVERY 221"Really, I wish you would drop that unpleasant word from your vocabulary.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What do the doctors say?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ What do you make of it, Wade?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ What do you make of it? ” The examiner wagged his head.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What do you suppose she meant by that? ” he asked.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What do you want to know? ” she asked.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What do you want? ” he asked ungraciously as he reached the gate.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What else could she have meant? ” The speaker cast an uncertain glance at the dead woman.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What is your theory?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ What kind of campaign? ” “ The biggest one of my life, I think.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What name?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ What put such a thought into your head? ”"I scarcely know.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What was it, Miss Hardwick?
mdp.39015050777385	“ What — what do you want me to do? ” he stam- mered.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What — what's that? ” she asked hoarsely, indicat- ing the hollow.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What's that old saw about great minds traveling in the same channel?
mdp.39015050777385	“ What's that? ”"I called up her home this morning.
mdp.39015050777385	“ What? ” Helen half rose from the chair.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Where are you, Mr. Fairspeckle? ” “ I can't- can't tell you, ” came gropingly over the wire.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Where did Miss Hardwick go from here? ” Culligore shrugged.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Which way?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Who are you? ” A jumble of split words and syllables sounded dis- tantly in his ear.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Who is she?"
mdp.39015050777385	“ Why should they do such a thing? ”.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Why single out Fairspeckle?
mdp.39015050777385	“ Why? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015050777385	“ Would n't a knife thrust have been quicker and safer? ” he suggested.
mdp.39015050777385	“ You did n't suppose I would give up so easily; did you, doctor?
mdp.39015050777385	“ You think she was killed because she had in some manner discovered Mr. Shei's identity?"
mdp.39015020087337	'This sort of thing'?
mdp.39015020087337	A fat envelop? mdp.39015020087337 Admitting that,"he persisted again,"how about Naomi and me?
mdp.39015020087337	All right?
mdp.39015020087337	All to live here, sir?
mdp.39015020087337	Am I morbid?
mdp.39015020087337	And to the servants?
mdp.39015020087337	And turn on the lights? mdp.39015020087337 And you have n't them?
mdp.39015020087337	And you heard no more about him till you had to go for him again that Thursday night?
mdp.39015020087337	And you were moved by the same high intellectual curiosity, Henry?
mdp.39015020087337	Anne Price? mdp.39015020087337 Any one ready for a game of billiards?"
mdp.39015020087337	Anything unexpected about it?
mdp.39015020087337	Are you apt to be nervous in the darkness?
mdp.39015020087337	As we're all together now, why do n't we go over the house and select our quarters?
mdp.39015020087337	At home?
mdp.39015020087337	Beg pardon, sir,he said hurriedly,"but might I have a word with you?"
mdp.39015020087337	But as it evidently was n't a pleasant experience, do n't you think it would be a good plan to have a rubber of bridge before you go to bed?
mdp.39015020087337	But how about the two- hundred- dollar check, made out by you and signed by her? mdp.39015020087337 But was n't it a fact, Doctor, that you and the specialists you called in had practically given her an- other year or two?"
mdp.39015020087337	But why did she think something unusual was going on? mdp.39015020087337 But you're not looking for another place?"
mdp.39015020087337	Ca n't I mix you a high- ball, sir?
mdp.39015020087337	Ca n't we call it friend- ship? mdp.39015020087337 Can you come into the library for a few minutes'talk?"
mdp.39015020087337	Can you find a room on the fourth floor for Stevens? mdp.39015020087337 Can you spare the time?"
mdp.39015020087337	Could she have had it hidden and taken it herself?
mdp.39015020087337	Could you? mdp.39015020087337 Did Naomi come again?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did he say that?
mdp.39015020087337	Did n't you get references when Mother sublet to her?
mdp.39015020087337	Did n't you think dear Catherine looked beautiful?
mdp.39015020087337	Did she say anything?
mdp.39015020087337	Did she strike you as the type of woman who'd let some one poison her and get away with it?
mdp.39015020087337	Did you notice what young Bryce said at the table, about her be- longing to the Bradford Webbs? mdp.39015020087337 Did you want to see me, Bryce?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do I have to sit in that particular chair?
mdp.39015020087337	Do n't you realize you're starting our association here in the wrong spirit?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you come from the Bradford Webb branch?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you know?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you mean the night you came to see Miss Chandler?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you mean to say,Lily Price jerked out,"that we've got to go up into that vault and sit there with- out a blim?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do you mean why have n't I a job?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you really think, knowing her as you did, that that's possible?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you think Catherine has been happy these last few years? mdp.39015020087337 Do you think fatigue would account for your faint?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do you think she suspected any particular per- son?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you want me to come to your office?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you want me to go after them?
mdp.39015020087337	Do you want to stir up the household? mdp.39015020087337 Does he work?"
mdp.39015020087337	Does it seem that way?
mdp.39015020087337	Does'urns guilty conscience prick'um in the dark?
mdp.39015020087337	Even though you promised her there would n't be any autopsy?
mdp.39015020087337	Everything's quite understood, is n't it? mdp.39015020087337 H- m."He returned to his first question:"You're sure Miss Chandler did n't see any one else?"
mdp.39015020087337	Had n't she perhaps exhausted herself with all the business and dictation and letter- writing I un- derstand was going on?
mdp.39015020087337	Has she gone up to her apartment?
mdp.39015020087337	Has that fool nurse said anything to you that's made you ask these questions?
mdp.39015020087337	Have it out* side the gates, not at the door — understand?
mdp.39015020087337	Have n't you any affection at all for the girl, or at least any gratitude?
mdp.39015020087337	Have they come yet?
mdp.39015020087337	Have you given a hint of this notion of yours to any one else?
mdp.39015020087337	How about giving us the rest of the rules?
mdp.39015020087337	How about the little upstairs pilgrimage?
mdp.39015020087337	How could Naomi Sabin have got hold of the money?
mdp.39015020087337	How could you?
mdp.39015020087337	How did you get in?
mdp.39015020087337	How did you manage it that time, with Miss Sabin on guard?
mdp.39015020087337	How did you persuade Mother to come back last night?
mdp.39015020087337	How do you know that?
mdp.39015020087337	How does Naomi explain your presence, to her?
mdp.39015020087337	How does Naomi explain your presence, to her?
mdp.39015020087337	How does he live?
mdp.39015020087337	How does one know what one's going to strike next?
mdp.39015020087337	How long before her death was this first visit made?
mdp.39015020087337	How long did he stay that second night?
mdp.39015020087337	How long have they been using drugs?
mdp.39015020087337	How many evening gowns shall you need?
mdp.39015020087337	How many of them are in there?
mdp.39015020087337	How much longer have we got to endure that woman?
mdp.39015020087337	How was the black cell?
mdp.39015020087337	I suppose there's no way of breaking that second will — of proving undue influence or unsound mental powers or anything of the kind?
mdp.39015020087337	I suppose you've heard of the little experiment Miss Chandler is making on us all?
mdp.39015020087337	If it's all guesswork, as it appears to be, what was your object in telling me now?
mdp.39015020087337	If she died of poison — assuming for a moment 54 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA that you're right — mightn't she have taken it her- self?
mdp.39015020087337	If you feel like that, why the devil did you come downstairs?
mdp.39015020087337	If you're going up,she said to Catherine,"why not go now?"
mdp.39015020087337	Is any one in there, Johnson?
mdp.39015020087337	Is he taking a nap? mdp.39015020087337 Is it possible,"she asked,"that you do n't see what that means?"
mdp.39015020087337	Is it that you wish to join them for a treat- ment?
mdp.39015020087337	Is n't there a drink in the house?
mdp.39015020087337	Is she a fool nurse?
mdp.39015020087337	Is there any reason why we should make a secret of this expedition?
mdp.39015020087337	Is there any sense in going to a dance from eleven to twelve? mdp.39015020087337 Is there?"
mdp.39015020087337	It was rather unex- pected at the end, was n't it?
mdp.39015020087337	Just what do you mean, Henry?
mdp.39015020087337	Kate, how could you?
mdp.39015020087337	Left? mdp.39015020087337 Listening to what other things, dear?"
mdp.39015020087337	Mademoiselle,said a cold voice, in English much more perfect than the visitor's,"why did you force your way in here?"
mdp.39015020087337	May I ask, sir,George Dixon said with sudden gravity,"if that last rule applies to you and Miss Webb as well as to us?"
mdp.39015020087337	Mr. Long, what does she mean by the family of nine?
mdp.39015020087337	Mr. Long, why do you keep harping on that sub- ject?
mdp.39015020087337	Mr. Long? mdp.39015020087337 Mrs. Price has just returned, has n't she?"
mdp.39015020087337	Must we go?
mdp.39015020087337	Notwithstanding Miss Chandler's own statement, you think it's unfounded?
mdp.39015020087337	Now, just what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015020087337	Of course Sabin was alone with Miss Chandler while he was in her house?
mdp.39015020087337	Oh, did n't you know that? mdp.39015020087337 Oh, have you?
mdp.39015020087337	Oh, what's the use? mdp.39015020087337 Oh, why did you wait?"
mdp.39015020087337	Or am I perhaps seeing things a little more clearly? mdp.39015020087337 Or without you?"
mdp.39015020087337	Premature?
mdp.39015020087337	Really?
mdp.39015020087337	Sabin? mdp.39015020087337 See here,"he said cajolingly when he had exhaled it:"why not be philosophical about this business?
mdp.39015020087337	She trusted you, did n't she?
mdp.39015020087337	Sneaked off? mdp.39015020087337 So that's why you got the two hundred dollars and the other large checks?"
mdp.39015020087337	So you discovered that?
mdp.39015020087337	So you went last night?
mdp.39015020087337	So you're familiar with the new rules?
mdp.39015020087337	So you've put Mrs. Price in High Crest? mdp.39015020087337 THE BUNCH"CONFERS 265"Bryce,"Long said abruptly,"why are n't you doing some work?"
mdp.39015020087337	That's your final conclusion?
mdp.39015020087337	The Troubadour?
mdp.39015020087337	The dinner is mine, of course,Long told him,"but would you like to order it?"
mdp.39015020087337	The other visitor?
mdp.39015020087337	Then I think there's nothing else?
mdp.39015020087337	Then how can we pay our debts?
mdp.39015020087337	Then she told you?
mdp.39015020087337	Then what is it?
mdp.39015020087337	Then why not let us have the plan?
mdp.39015020087337	Then will you have your man Stevens come down and hide in the closet and breathe adenoidally while you're listening?
mdp.39015020087337	Then would n't it be a good idea to make the best of things?
mdp.39015020087337	Then you would oppose a post mortem now?
mdp.39015020087337	Then you're going back to work, after Lil's cure?
mdp.39015020087337	Then you've changed your mind, Doctor?
mdp.39015020087337	Then —Long spoke with the first interest he had felt in-the lad—"may I ask what attraction you find in this sort of thing?
mdp.39015020087337	Then, you say, you went for him a second time the Thursday before she died?
mdp.39015020087337	There was nothing else, was there?
mdp.39015020087337	There will be some light from somewhere, wo n't there?—through the windows, or a transom?
mdp.39015020087337	Two or three?
mdp.39015020087337	Was Naomi the one you knew about?
mdp.39015020087337	Was she conscious?
mdp.39015020087337	Was that wise?
mdp.39015020087337	Well, does n't that settle it?
mdp.39015020087337	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015020087337	What are you telling me?
mdp.39015020087337	What are your faults?
mdp.39015020087337	What can I do?
mdp.39015020087337	What did Cary say to it?
mdp.39015020087337	What did Catherine know about her? mdp.39015020087337 What did you imagine?"
mdp.39015020087337	What did you mean by that?
mdp.39015020087337	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015020087337	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015020087337	What do you want to know?
mdp.39015020087337	What else did you think happened?
mdp.39015020087337	What else do you think she'd do?
mdp.39015020087337	What girl? mdp.39015020087337 What made you so sure, Naomi?"
mdp.39015020087337	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015020087337	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015020087337	What next, Catherine?
mdp.39015020087337	What nonsense is this?
mdp.39015020087337	What of it? mdp.39015020087337 What of it?"
mdp.39015020087337	What the devil did she want to get at?
mdp.39015020087337	What time did Miss Connolly go on duty?
mdp.39015020087337	What was horrible about it?
mdp.39015020087337	What was it like, toward the end?
mdp.39015020087337	What woman?
mdp.39015020087337	What's that you're say- ing?
mdp.39015020087337	What's the penalty if one is n't in by twelve?
mdp.39015020087337	What's the use of keeping seven people in a hell of suspicion? mdp.39015020087337 What's wrong with Henry?"
mdp.39015020087337	When did you see them? mdp.39015020087337 When did you suspect that there was anything wrong about them?"
mdp.39015020087337	Where are they?
mdp.39015020087337	Where are we going?—to town?
mdp.39015020087337	Where could she have hidden it? mdp.39015020087337 Where shall we find them?"
mdp.39015020087337	Which of us is going to- night?
mdp.39015020087337	Which one was it?
mdp.39015020087337	Who was he?
mdp.39015020087337	Who was it?
mdp.39015020087337	Why did n't you tell me all this before?
mdp.39015020087337	Why did n't you walk downstairs on your hands?
mdp.39015020087337	Why did you come?
mdp.39015020087337	Why did you go in for this sort of thing, Naomi?
mdp.39015020087337	Why in God's name should any one kill her?
mdp.39015020087337	Why not marry me and be the boss of it, as I've been urging right along? mdp.39015020087337 Why not?"
mdp.39015020087337	Why should I call?
mdp.39015020087337	Why should I need calming?
mdp.39015020087337	Why should n't people suspect?
mdp.39015020087337	Why should they? mdp.39015020087337 Why the devil did Aunt C. C. want us to go to her room and sit there in solitary state?"
mdp.39015020087337	Why would n't it? mdp.39015020087337 Why?
mdp.39015020087337	Why?
mdp.39015020087337	Will it work?
mdp.39015020087337	Will you be good enough to explain what you mean?
mdp.39015020087337	Will you be quite frank with me?
mdp.39015020087337	Would I like to?
mdp.39015020087337	Would n't an autopsy have shown?
mdp.39015020087337	Would you care to see the late Miss Chandler's rooms first, sir?
mdp.39015020087337	Yes? mdp.39015020087337 Yes?"
mdp.39015020087337	Yes?
mdp.39015020087337	Yes?
mdp.39015020087337	Yes?
mdp.39015020087337	Yes?
mdp.39015020087337	You did n't hear what she and Sabin said when they were together?
mdp.39015020087337	You do n't like her?
mdp.39015020087337	You do n't like him, do you?
mdp.39015020087337	You do n't like to have the paragon criticized, do THE HOUSEWARMING 129 you? mdp.39015020087337 You do n't want an autopsy, do you?"
mdp.39015020087337	You do? mdp.39015020087337 You have n't changed your mind?"
mdp.39015020087337	You know about that?
mdp.39015020087337	You mean Miss Chandler's?
mdp.39015020087337	You mean you're all living together? mdp.39015020087337 You mean,"she asked slowly,"that you ca n't let me have the money?"
mdp.39015020087337	You really think that, Doctor? mdp.39015020087337 You remember that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015020087337	You say he was at the farm most of the time?
mdp.39015020087337	You think he did?
mdp.39015020087337	You thought it was n't?
mdp.39015020087337	You want the truth, do n't you?
mdp.39015020087337	You — what?
mdp.39015020087337	You'll let me know when you want to talk it over?
mdp.39015020087337	You've seen him, then?
mdp.39015020087337	'"If you thought these things, why did you wait till now to report them?"
mdp.39015020087337	124 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA"Yes?"
mdp.39015020087337	16 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA"Another drink, sir, before you go upstairs?"
mdp.39015020087337	228 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA"Madame Dalmier?
mdp.39015020087337	272 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA"You think she'll keep it?"
mdp.39015020087337	70 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA"Then you're convinced, Doctor, that Miss Chand- ler's death was due to her disease and to no other cause?"
mdp.39015020087337	?"
mdp.39015020087337	A moment later he put through his message:"Mrs. Price?
mdp.39015020087337	Again?
mdp.39015020087337	And being at school in Paris?"
mdp.39015020087337	And how about Naomi?
mdp.39015020087337	And if she felt that she must do it in the end, why the devil should n't she have a little fun with us first?"
mdp.39015020087337	And if she was n't using him, why did n't she hustle him out of the country?"
mdp.39015020087337	And if there are rules and regula- tions, as I suppose there must be, ought n't we to know them, too?"
mdp.39015020087337	And the worst of the fight is over now, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015020087337	And we've got to save Lily, have n't we?"
mdp.39015020087337	And with the conviction in her mind that one of them poisoned her?"
mdp.39015020087337	And — this last was the most persistent question of all — why had Naomi fainted to- night?
mdp.39015020087337	Are you Madame Dalmier?"
mdp.39015020087337	Are you absolutely convinced that Cath- erine Chandler died from disease and not from poison- ing?"
mdp.39015020087337	Are you ill?"
mdp.39015020087337	But I could n't understand how they had got there, so I said,'Did Miss Webb leave them out for you?'
mdp.39015020087337	But do n't you think that in simple fairness we ought to know what the tests are?
mdp.39015020087337	But he's the first man — he's with you, though, is n't he?"
mdp.39015020087337	But probably you wo n't need more than a few minutes?"
mdp.39015020087337	But that would n't be pretty, would it?"
mdp.39015020087337	But why?"
mdp.39015020087337	By the way —"his voice changed—"you have n't forgotten that our old friend did n't want this done?"
mdp.39015020087337	By the way, who's going to make the upstairs pilgrimage to- night?"
mdp.39015020087337	C.?"
mdp.39015020087337	Ca n't you make up your mind to do that?"
mdp.39015020087337	Can you deny that?"
mdp.39015020087337	Can you see me in ten minutes or so?"
mdp.39015020087337	Could you look after me?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did Miss Chandler make any comment on the little episode?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did Naomi call that morning?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did n't the bigwigs give me two years more?'"
mdp.39015020087337	Did n't you know that?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did she leave here under any sort of cloud?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did she?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did you have a feeling that some one was in the room with you?"
mdp.39015020087337	Did you know what she was doing?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do I understand, sir, that you yourself are to be with us?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do n't you feel up to it now,"he ended anxiously,"for the sake of the children?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do n't you think that's it?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do you and Mr. Long have to make these calls too, Miss Webb?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do you know anything about a creature they call'Madame Dalmier'?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do you remember her?"
mdp.39015020087337	Do you remember the morning — by Jove?
mdp.39015020087337	Had he been there before?"
mdp.39015020087337	Has any one else noticed anything unusual about her visitors?"
mdp.39015020087337	Has it ever occurred to you that that accident was n't an accident?"
mdp.39015020087337	Has she left?"
mdp.39015020087337	Have n't you thought of the effects of this thing on the health and nerves of your girls?"
mdp.39015020087337	Have you any idea what it was?"
mdp.39015020087337	Have you thought of that?"
mdp.39015020087337	Have you time to go over the house with us?"
mdp.39015020087337	He decided to switch her back to the main subject:"Is your sister really interested in the youth who is dining with us to- night?"
mdp.39015020087337	He put his next question almost reluctantly:"Had you reason to think that Miss Connolly sus- pected anything was wrong?"
mdp.39015020087337	He stopped, thought an instant, and shot a question at her so suddenly that she jumped:"Did you give Miss Chandler one of the powders he brought her?"
mdp.39015020087337	Her mother's question was an unexpected tribute to Long:"Have you been gone a whole half- hour, dear?"
mdp.39015020087337	How about Aunt Anne?"
mdp.39015020087337	How about it?"
mdp.39015020087337	How about some golf this morning, darling?"
mdp.39015020087337	How can you talk such rot?"
mdp.39015020087337	How could he work and be tagging after Lil sixteen hours a day?"
mdp.39015020087337	How could she?—a girl like that?
mdp.39015020087337	How did it feel to sit there in the dark and meditate on Aunt C. C.'s virtues?"
mdp.39015020087337	How did you catch on?"
mdp.39015020087337	How did you guess?"
mdp.39015020087337	How long before Miss Chandler's death did you last see her?"
mdp.39015020087337	I mean, did she turn down the proposition?"
mdp.39015020087337	I never left medicine lying around that way, and neither did Miss Webb, so I said to Miss Chandler,'What are these things?'
mdp.39015020087337	I said,'Did Mr. Sabin leave them?'
mdp.39015020087337	Incidentally, how about saving me?
mdp.39015020087337	Is it just the fascination of see- ing others make beasts of themselves?"
mdp.39015020087337	Is the world treating you well?"
mdp.39015020087337	Is there any way I can?
mdp.39015020087337	Is there anything else?"
mdp.39015020087337	It's enough that we're there, is n't it?
mdp.39015020087337	Just what did the child mean by that remark about her mother?
mdp.39015020087337	LONG HAS A SHOCK 53"How do you happen to know so much about it?"
mdp.39015020087337	Long?"
mdp.39015020087337	May I come up?"
mdp.39015020087337	Miss Webb?
mdp.39015020087337	Naomi Sabin — What's she doing now?"
mdp.39015020087337	Oh, well, what's the use of thinking about it?
mdp.39015020087337	Or do you even admit that she was?"
mdp.39015020087337	Pretty neat of the old girl, was n't it?"
mdp.39015020087337	Price?"
mdp.39015020087337	See to that end of it, will you, Johnson?"
mdp.39015020087337	Shall I ask her?"
mdp.39015020087337	Shall I give you a check?"
mdp.39015020087337	Should he slip out of the room with merely a murmured excuse for a few moments'ab- sence?
mdp.39015020087337	Surely you remember that?"
mdp.39015020087337	That's queer, too, is n't it?"
mdp.39015020087337	The pro- r 160 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA comfortable and happy for six months after giving them that awful jolt about the will?
mdp.39015020087337	The same room, I suppose?"
mdp.39015020087337	Then Sabin rang the bell and gave Mr. White's card to Johnson —""He was the man that used the card?"
mdp.39015020087337	There was something special you wanted to say to me?"
mdp.39015020087337	They had a lot of set- tos about it —""You mean quarrels?"
mdp.39015020087337	To Johnson he added,"There are no quarters here for Stevens, I suppose?"
mdp.39015020087337	Was some one else leaving the house?
mdp.39015020087337	What are a few lovers more or less to the independent young woman of to- day?"
mdp.39015020087337	What can it matter to her whether we sit or walk during those idiotic visits?
mdp.39015020087337	What could you do if you did know?
mdp.39015020087337	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015020087337	What do you think her neighbors imagined?
mdp.39015020087337	What had Catherine meant by writing that anything that happened was"up to"her and not to the young folks?
mdp.39015020087337	What help did she think she could give them now?
mdp.39015020087337	What is it?"
mdp.39015020087337	What made you think that?"
mdp.39015020087337	What the devil made me think of that now?"
mdp.39015020087337	What would you suggest?"
mdp.39015020087337	What's the big idea?
mdp.39015020087337	What's your notion of the next step?"
mdp.39015020087337	When did she move in?"
mdp.39015020087337	Where did you get that notion?"
mdp.39015020087337	Where?"
mdp.39015020087337	Which of them was her mother's?
mdp.39015020087337	Which one is it to be?"
mdp.39015020087337	Who the devil but Miss Chandler could I mean?"
mdp.39015020087337	Who was he?"
mdp.39015020087337	Who's she?"
mdp.39015020087337	Whom else could I mean?
mdp.39015020087337	Why did she tell Miss Webb to keep her mouth shut?"
mdp.39015020087337	Why do n't you two girls tell us as much as you can?
mdp.39015020087337	Why do we have to know which, if any one, did it?"
mdp.39015020087337	Why should she want to experiment on Sabin?
mdp.39015020087337	Why the devil should she do it?
mdp.39015020087337	Will it?"
mdp.39015020087337	Wo n't you try to be more open- minded?
mdp.39015020087337	Would you?"
mdp.39015020087337	Yet was it?
mdp.39015020087337	You arranged them, I suppose?"
mdp.39015020087337	You mean a letter?"
mdp.39015020087337	You mean they've left the house?"
mdp.39015020087337	You see that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015020087337	You wo n't mind?"
mdp.39015020087337	You're not stopping over?"
mdp.39015020087337	for her sake?"
mdp.39015020087337	have poisoned herself?"
mdp.39015020087337	how did you know about that?"
mdp.39015020087337	idea?"
mdp.39015020087337	it seems weeks ago, but it was only a few days!—when Catherine said at breakfast that she thought Aunt C. C. was trying to help them all?"

mdp.39015020087337	s 84 THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA"That's all right,"Henry Hutchins unexpectedly observed,"but how about me?
mdp.39015020087337	she moaned,"how in God's name can we go through with it?"
mdp.39015020087337	she sent you?"

mdp.39015059375645	As the lumbering tread of Boy Blue was heard on the stairs, he shook her again —"Dissa cup, huh?
mdp.39015059375645	At last he spoke, quietly: “ So this is where you meet your lover?
mdp.39015059375645	Bluebell- he was asking me for you. ” “ Yes?
mdp.39015059375645	But you know, do n't yeh?
mdp.39015059375645	Ca n't you see Tom's bleeding? ” “ Very well. ” She fussed over Tom, tender- wise, mater- nally, and wound the scarf tightly about his wrist.

mdp.39015006963899	And Georges is no doubt the chauffeur whom I saw at work as I crossed the courtyard?
mdp.39015006963899	And I asked you afterwards whether Waberski might not be telling a true story of himself and attributing it to Mademoiselle Harlowe?

mdp.39015006963899	And after the funeral, on your return to this house, the notary opened and read the will?
mdp.39015006963899	And at what hour did you go?
mdp.39015006963899	And death would have fol- lowed in fifteen minutes?
mdp.39015006963899	And how did you get into the house?
mdp.39015006963899	And how far away was this bedroom?
mdp.39015006963899	And how often do they catch the innocent in them? mdp.39015006963899 And in Boris Waberski's presence?"
mdp.39015006963899	And it is discovered now?
mdp.39015006963899	And it is you who tell me that, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	And it was not discovered by you?
mdp.39015006963899	And on Sunday morning by the post comes the anony- mous letter?
mdp.39015006963899	And so you came to the Maison Grenelle?
mdp.39015006963899	And that little secret?
mdp.39015006963899	And that will be all?
mdp.39015006963899	And the poison arrow could have been used?
mdp.39015006963899	And there was a trained nurse always in the house?
mdp.39015006963899	And there was no narcotic dissolved in it?
mdp.39015006963899	And this gentleman?
mdp.39015006963899	And what do you say to this story, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	And what of to- night?
mdp.39015006963899	And what were they, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	And when?
mdp.39015006963899	And where would Jean Cladel have learnt to handle the paste with safety, how to prepare the solution?
mdp.39015006963899	And will you tell the ladies that we are ready?
mdp.39015006963899	And you have told this story to no one until this moment?
mdp.39015006963899	And you rang no bell? mdp.39015006963899 And you received this 66 Jim Changes His Lodging letter on the Sunday morning?
mdp.39015006963899	And you?
mdp.39015006963899	Are n't you going a little too fast?
mdp.39015006963899	At the point where you started after tightening the strap of the tool- box, on the edge of the town, a big country house stands back in a park?

mdp.39015006963899	But Betty's not arrested?
mdp.39015006963899	But how far is it?
mdp.39015006963899	But that does n't bring us any nearer to finding out what is Boris Waberski's strong suit, does it? mdp.39015006963899 But that was not done on this night?"
mdp.39015006963899	But what are we to do? mdp.39015006963899 But what is there to be got?"
mdp.39015006963899	But what was this letter about and to what doctor?
mdp.39015006963899	But, after all, we are not such alarming people, the Police, eh? mdp.39015006963899 But, who then?
mdp.39015006963899	By such acts, for instance, as staying away from a dance to which she knew that you had meant to go?
mdp.39015006963899	By whom?
mdp.39015006963899	Case?
mdp.39015006963899	Come to take posses- sion, I suppose?

mdp.39015006963899	He took it away with him?
mdp.39015006963899	His secretary, then?
mdp.39015006963899	How do you know all this, Jim?
mdp.39015006963899	How long has Francine Rollard been with you?
mdp.39015006963899	How?

mdp.39015006963899	Is that true?
mdp.39015006963899	Is there a door into the garden from the street?
mdp.39015006963899	It is possible, no doubt But if so, why did the murderer stay so long? mdp.39015006963899 It is still too early?"
mdp.39015006963899	It is true, then?
mdp.39015006963899	It was a curiosity, an item in a collection — why should one trouble to destroy it? mdp.39015006963899 It was placed on a table, I suppose, ready for her every night?"
mdp.39015006963899	It was the same voice which whispered them twice, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	It's done?
mdp.39015006963899	Jean Cladel exists?
mdp.39015006963899	Jean Cladel?
mdp.39015006963899	Jim,he said suddenly,"could you arrange your work so that you could get away at short notice, if it becomes advisable?"
mdp.39015006963899	Large rooms?
mdp.39015006963899	Mademoiselle, how shall I thank you?
mdp.39015006963899	Mademoiselle,he asked with a breathless sort of eagerness,"what is it you have to tell me?"
mdp.39015006963899	May I see what you have written?
mdp.39015006963899	May I smoke?
mdp.39015006963899	Meanwhile I tear this, do I not?
mdp.39015006963899	Mind?
mdp.39015006963899	Monsieur Hanaud?
mdp.39015006963899	Monsieur Sabin the watch- maker in the Rue de la Liberte has had it more 126 The House of the ArrowYou wish to ask a question?"
mdp.39015006963899	My dear boy, what are you thinking of?
mdp.39015006963899	No? mdp.39015006963899 Nor the Commissaire?"
mdp.39015006963899	Nothing, eh? mdp.39015006963899 Now tell me, Mademoiselle, where did this nurse sleep?
mdp.39015006963899	Now, Mademoiselle, at what hour did you arrive home?
mdp.39015006963899	Now, Mademoiselle, will you please repeat exactly your movements here on the night when Madame Har- lowe died? mdp.39015006963899 Now, what's your bad news, Jim?"
mdp.39015006963899	Oh, I say all that, do I?
mdp.39015006963899	Oh?
mdp.39015006963899	Oho, there is a sedan chair in that museum?
mdp.39015006963899	Oho?
mdp.39015006963899	On so short an acquaintance, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	Paying?
mdp.39015006963899	Shall I make you a copy of the letter, Monsieur Hanaud?
mdp.39015006963899	Shall we go? mdp.39015006963899 She slept alone in her room that night?"
mdp.39015006963899	She told us this story — when? mdp.39015006963899 She was left rich, I suppose?"
mdp.39015006963899	She wore it, then, on the day of her death?
mdp.39015006963899	So my young friend, the secretary engaged you when I had gone?
mdp.39015006963899	So that you did not hesitate to go on that evening to a Idance given by some friends of yours?
mdp.39015006963899	So this alarming thing happened just before three o'clock in the morning?
mdp.39015006963899	So you left your hotel in the Place Darcy, after all, eh, my friend? mdp.39015006963899 So you showed him the telegram?"
mdp.39015006963899	Something better?
mdp.39015006963899	Something else?
mdp.39015006963899	Surely we started before eleven?
mdp.39015006963899	That is the clock which marked half- past ten, Mademoiselle, during the moment when you had the light turned up?
mdp.39015006963899	That was her rule?
mdp.39015006963899	The Commissaire, then?
mdp.39015006963899	The affair is simple, you say?
mdp.39015006963899	The anonymous letters?
mdp.39015006963899	The corridor with the windows on to the courtyard on the one side and the doors of the receptions on the other?
mdp.39015006963899	The facade of Notre Dame?
mdp.39015006963899	The poor little girl, she is afraid now, eh? mdp.39015006963899 The tourist?"
mdp.39015006963899	Then exactly a week later, on Saturday, the seventh of May, he goes off quickly to the Prefecture of Police?
mdp.39015006963899	Then what's troubling you?
mdp.39015006963899	Then why is he in Dijon? mdp.39015006963899 Then you agree with me?"
mdp.39015006963899	This happened at the front door, or at those big iron gates, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	This is the door of the dressing- room?
mdp.39015006963899	To come to this house?
mdp.39015006963899	To him?
mdp.39015006963899	Two big reception- rooms between, eh? mdp.39015006963899 Unnoticed?
mdp.39015006963899	Waberski?
mdp.39015006963899	Waberski?
mdp.39015006963899	We have finished then?
mdp.39015006963899	Well, I fairly asked for it, did n't I?
mdp.39015006963899	Well, Nicolas?
mdp.39015006963899	Well?
mdp.39015006963899	Well?
mdp.39015006963899	Well?
mdp.39015006963899	Were the curtains drawn across all those windows too, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	What could be more charming?
mdp.39015006963899	What could she have to gain by murder?
mdp.39015006963899	What did you do after that clear whisper reached your ears?
mdp.39015006963899	What did you do then?
mdp.39015006963899	What do you make of that?
mdp.39015006963899	What does the nurse report that Madame said to her about me, as soon as the door was closed?
mdp.39015006963899	What happened on that night in the Maison Gre- nelle?
mdp.39015006963899	What have you there?
mdp.39015006963899	What in the world has this to do with the affair?
mdp.39015006963899	What is it that you are looking at?
mdp.39015006963899	What is it you have to tell me?
mdp.39015006963899	What is it?
mdp.39015006963899	What is the matter?
mdp.39015006963899	What more can we do?
mdp.39015006963899	What was that drink?
mdp.39015006963899	What with?
mdp.39015006963899	What would you say of it, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	What?
mdp.39015006963899	When are the iron gates locked?
mdp.39015006963899	When did Waberski first suggest that you should join Mademoiselle Harlowe?
mdp.39015006963899	When did he admit it?
mdp.39015006963899	When, then, did you first hear of Madame Harlowe's death?
mdp.39015006963899	When?
mdp.39015006963899	When?
mdp.39015006963899	Where does she spring from? mdp.39015006963899 Where was she to- night?"
mdp.39015006963899	Who burnt these papers so very carefully?
mdp.39015006963899	Who can have murdered him?
mdp.39015006963899	Who could tell what wonderful things Hanaud might not discover with his magnifying glass when he arrived from Paris? mdp.39015006963899 Who is that?"
mdp.39015006963899	Who knew of this necklace of yours, Mademoiselle, beside yourself?
mdp.39015006963899	Who's that?
mdp.39015006963899	Who?
mdp.39015006963899	Why Betty Harlowe took to writing anonymous letters, Monsieur — who shall say? mdp.39015006963899 Why are you troubled?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why do you look at me like that?
mdp.39015006963899	Why must we pre- tend now the dreadful thing which was lived then?
mdp.39015006963899	Why not Waber- ski?
mdp.39015006963899	Why not? mdp.39015006963899 Why should Ann Upcott write to me?
mdp.39015006963899	Why should Boris Waberski expect her support?
mdp.39015006963899	Why was that communicating door thrown open? mdp.39015006963899 Why?"
mdp.39015006963899	Will you be seated?
mdp.39015006963899	Will you fetch the Commissary of the district and a doctor? mdp.39015006963899 Will you go first, Madame?"
mdp.39015006963899	Will you look through it, please, and see whether anything is missing?
mdp.39015006963899	Will you shut our door now, if you please?
mdp.39015006963899	Will you sit down for a moment? mdp.39015006963899 Will you take a seat?
mdp.39015006963899	Within fifteen minutes? mdp.39015006963899 Within fifteen minutes?"
mdp.39015006963899	Yes, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes, who is that?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes? mdp.39015006963899 Yes?"
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Yesterday, in Paris?
mdp.39015006963899	You are amused, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	You are going to break those seals now?
mdp.39015006963899	You are going to dance now?
mdp.39015006963899	You are going to leave that necklace just like that in a table drawer?
mdp.39015006963899	You are still up?
mdp.39015006963899	You are sure of that exact time? mdp.39015006963899 You are sure of the hour?"
mdp.39015006963899	You are sure?
mdp.39015006963899	You are thoughtful, Monsieur?
mdp.39015006963899	You are very sure of that, I suppose? mdp.39015006963899 You can?"
mdp.39015006963899	You did n't make an appointment, did you?
mdp.39015006963899	You did n't really mind my going back for his gloves, did you?
mdp.39015006963899	You did not find it, then?
mdp.39015006963899	You did not visit Jean Cladel in the street of Gam- betta at ten o'clock on the morning of the 7th of May?
mdp.39015006963899	You do not charge the nurse, Jeanne Baudin, with complicity in this crime?
mdp.39015006963899	You do not specify the narcotic?
mdp.39015006963899	You had met Waberski before that night?
mdp.39015006963899	You have Francine Rollard?
mdp.39015006963899	You have been interfering with me too, have n't you, Ann? mdp.39015006963899 You have found the arrow, then?"
mdp.39015006963899	You have lunched already?
mdp.39015006963899	You have n't an electric torch with you, of course?
mdp.39015006963899	You have seen everything, Monsieur Hanaud?
mdp.39015006963899	You miss something, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	You remember with whom you danced? mdp.39015006963899 You say'we'?"
mdp.39015006963899	You want to know what I believe of Ann Upcott?
mdp.39015006963899	You went then to your room?
mdp.39015006963899	You will bring your lug- gage from your hotel and stay here, wo n't you?
mdp.39015006963899	You will come and stay here? mdp.39015006963899 You will send me home, wo n't you?
mdp.39015006963899	You'll bolt the door when you come in, wo n't you?
mdp.39015006963899	You?
mdp.39015006963899	You?
mdp.39015006963899	You?
mdp.39015006963899	Your maid is still with you?
mdp.39015006963899	Your sitting- room?
mdp.39015006963899	''And then?"
mdp.39015006963899	( 2) What was it which so startled him upon the top of the Terrace Tower?
mdp.39015006963899	( 3) What was it that he had in his mind to say to me at the Cafe in the Place D'Armes and in the end did not say?
mdp.39015006963899	( 4) Why did Hanaud search every corner of the treasure room for the missing poison arrow — except the interior of the Sedan chair?
mdp.39015006963899	11 The House of the Arrow"You saw no one, then?"
mdp.39015006963899	136 A New Suspect How did she come into that house?
mdp.39015006963899	236 A Plan Frustrated"Did you know, my friend,"he asked very gravely,"that Ann Upcott has gone to- night to Madame Le Vay's fancy dress ball?"
mdp.39015006963899	254 The Corona Machine hand?
mdp.39015006963899	49 The House of the Arrow Is n't that so?
mdp.39015006963899	56 Betty Harlowe Answers"Was Madame alone?"
mdp.39015006963899	57 The House of the Arrow"Does it not, Monsieur?"
mdp.39015006963899	61 The House of the Arroxv"Was your maid waiting up for you, Mademoiselle?"
mdp.39015006963899	88 The House of the Arrow"Oh, I say that?"
mdp.39015006963899	98 The Booh"Have you ever seen the arrow, Mademoiselle?"
mdp.39015006963899	A few shivers of discom- fort?
mdp.39015006963899	After all, who more likely if criminal there was, since Boris Waberski thought himself an inheritor under Mrs. Har- lowe's will?
mdp.39015006963899	After all, why not?
mdp.39015006963899	Already, then, it is mine — yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Am I not Hanaud?
mdp.39015006963899	And as we go, will you tell me what you think of Boris Waberski?"
mdp.39015006963899	And from whom?
mdp.39015006963899	And had passed out again, each one contributing his little to complete the old man's knowledge and sharpen the edge of his wit?
mdp.39015006963899	And how did you answer him?"
mdp.39015006963899	And in what character did Mademoiselle propose to go?"
mdp.39015006963899	And people without brains are always dangerous, are n't they?"
mdp.39015006963899	And then?
mdp.39015006963899	And what kind of letters, if you please?"
mdp.39015006963899	And when?
mdp.39015006963899	And who was bending over Ann Upcott when she waked up?
mdp.39015006963899	And why did n't Betty Harlowe write to you, who have had her affairs in your care?"
mdp.39015006963899	And your letter?
mdp.39015006963899	April 30th, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	Are n't you fortunate to be without it?
mdp.39015006963899	Are the cupboards and drawers open?"
mdp.39015006963899	At once Hanaud replied to him:"Ca n't it?"
mdp.39015006963899	Avarice?
mdp.39015006963899	Betty Harlowe has the rest of the arrow- poison and the needle to put in some safe place, and where else is safe?
mdp.39015006963899	But ask yourself this:'What are youth and good looks compared with Hanaud?'"
mdp.39015006963899	But here in France it's different, is n't it?
mdp.39015006963899	But that is kind, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	But these are the questions I want answered, and where shall I find the answers?"
mdp.39015006963899	But what does that matter if it only comes to light in the office of the exam- ining magistrate, and does not pass beyond the door?"
mdp.39015006963899	But what had he seen?
mdp.39015006963899	But what of that arrow head in the pen tray?
mdp.39015006963899	But who whispered,"That will do now"?
mdp.39015006963899	By the way, Made- moiselle, where was Boris Waberski on the night of the 27th?"
mdp.39015006963899	By the way, how were you informed in London that I, Hanaud, had been put in charge of this case?"
mdp.39015006963899	Ca n't you answer, you pretty fool?"
mdp.39015006963899	Can you show it to me, Mademoiselle?"
mdp.39015006963899	Could there be a more transparent sub- terfuge?
mdp.39015006963899	Crunch one of them between your teeth and — fifteen minutes?
mdp.39015006963899	Did I not tell you, Mon- sieur, that we are all the servants of Chance?"
mdp.39015006963899	Did Waberski know that I was going to be sent for?
mdp.39015006963899	Did he expect quite another reply?
mdp.39015006963899	Did he hear that at the Prefecture when he lodged his charge on the Saturday or from the exam- ining magistrate on the same day?
mdp.39015006963899	Did he imagine that this Madame Grolin, the milliner, was an accomplice of Waberski's too?
mdp.39015006963899	Did he play at the tables?"
mdp.39015006963899	Did you know of her will?"
mdp.39015006963899	Did you recognise those voices?"
mdp.39015006963899	Do I understand yet?
mdp.39015006963899	Do n't you see that he was bound to?
mdp.39015006963899	Do you believe it?"
mdp.39015006963899	Do you know what Madame Harlowe kept in this, Monsieur Bex?"
mdp.39015006963899	Do you remember the first morning I came to the Maison Grenelle?
mdp.39015006963899	Eh?
mdp.39015006963899	Eh?
mdp.39015006963899	Else how comes it that Jean Cladel was murdered too to- night?"
mdp.39015006963899	Fatality?
mdp.39015006963899	Fled?
mdp.39015006963899	For Hanaud laid down his pen again and said in ominous tones:"The water- lily, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	Frobisher?"
mdp.39015006963899	Frobisher?"
mdp.39015006963899	Frobisher?"
mdp.39015006963899	From the top of the stairs Jim heard him ask:"Do you know Jean Cladel by sight?"
mdp.39015006963899	Hanaud broke off his savage irony to ask,"And whose voice did you think it was that whispered so clearly,'That will do now?'
mdp.39015006963899	Hanaud himself said:"You screamed?
mdp.39015006963899	Has she no motive now?
mdp.39015006963899	Hatred?
mdp.39015006963899	Have you any plans?"
mdp.39015006963899	Having whispered, he cried aloud towards the door- way in his natural voice:"Did you hear, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015006963899	He had no time to ask"how,"for he was already asking"What next?"
mdp.39015006963899	He said very gently,"I can understand that, ca n't you?
mdp.39015006963899	He was following out no suspicions; is n't that so?
mdp.39015006963899	How are you sure that you reached the Maison Grenelle exactly at twenty minutes past one?"
mdp.39015006963899	How did it come there?
mdp.39015006963899	How do you know?"
mdp.39015006963899	How does she find herself in the Maison 19 The House of the Arrow Grenelle?
mdp.39015006963899	How is it that the nurse did not sleep in that suitable room with the communicating- door?
mdp.39015006963899	How long will they last?
mdp.39015006963899	How should I cope with him and prove that it brought no more security than arsenic or prussic- acid?
mdp.39015006963899	I asked myself with a shiver, what would have happened to me if just at that moment I had not waked up?
mdp.39015006963899	I cried at once,'Who's there?'
mdp.39015006963899	I want you — how shall I put it so that I may persuade you?
mdp.39015006963899	If it was necessary, could you give me a list of your partners?"
mdp.39015006963899	If she could get to England they could n't bring her back, could they?
mdp.39015006963899	If she thought that the nurse Jeanne Baudin was in the bedroom, why did she turn and fly?
mdp.39015006963899	In the end what do we know of her at all except that she is the paid com- panion and therefore poor?
mdp.39015006963899	Indeed why should you?"
mdp.39015006963899	Is Ann Upcott another?
mdp.39015006963899	Is Ann Upcott guilty?
mdp.39015006963899	Is Mademoiselle Ann interested in such matters as Sporan- thus Hispidus?
mdp.39015006963899	Is it that sort of movement you mean, Mademoiselle?"
mdp.39015006963899	Is n't it so?
mdp.39015006963899	Is that a behaviour?
mdp.39015006963899	Is that under- stood?"
mdp.39015006963899	It is pretty, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	It is wonderful, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	It was Georges who told you the time at the actual moment of your arrival?"
mdp.39015006963899	It was here?"
mdp.39015006963899	Jim felt that he was never going to move, and in a voice of exaspera- tion he cried:"Is the door locked?"
mdp.39015006963899	Love?
mdp.39015006963899	Madame Harlowe, during the last years of her life, drank?"
mdp.39015006963899	Madame cried in the hoarse, harsh voice we knew:'Stripped, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	May I please see the telegram?"
mdp.39015006963899	Might that letter not have been a blind and a rather cunning blind?
mdp.39015006963899	Monsieur Bex put it to me very — how shall I say?"
mdp.39015006963899	Next door to Madame?"
mdp.39015006963899	No?
mdp.39015006963899	No?
mdp.39015006963899	Nothing you said, Monsieur Frobisher, but did your quick answer cover the ground?
mdp.39015006963899	Now how are you to go?"
mdp.39015006963899	Of what dread- ful event was that laughter to be the prelude?
mdp.39015006963899	One fights for one's skin, eh?"
mdp.39015006963899	Or at the clock in the hall?
mdp.39015006963899	Or had she anything to hope for from Madame Harlowe's death?
mdp.39015006963899	Or is Ann Upcott lying from beginning to end?
mdp.39015006963899	Or what?
mdp.39015006963899	Shall I open it?"
mdp.39015006963899	Shall I tell you what that risk was?
mdp.39015006963899	Shall we say three for the Commissary of Police?
mdp.39015006963899	Shall we see?"
mdp.39015006963899	So the light, Mademoiselle, came from the far room?"
mdp.39015006963899	Something bad and vicious and ab- normal born in her, part of her, and craving more and more expression as she grew in years?
mdp.39015006963899	Surely no one could have so mimicked fear?"
mdp.39015006963899	That is what you mean?
mdp.39015006963899	The anonymous letters?
mdp.39015006963899	The arrow had not been dis- covered when we first entered these rooms?"
mdp.39015006963899	The craving for excitement?
mdp.39015006963899	The dulness of life for a girl young and beautiful and passionate in a pro- vincial town, as our friend Boris suggests?
mdp.39015006963899	The exacting at- tendance upon Madame?
mdp.39015006963899	The guillotine?
mdp.39015006963899	The slender fingers, they do not snap themselves any longer, eh?
mdp.39015006963899	The stranger's you spoke of in the library this morning?"
mdp.39015006963899	Three cheers for Waberski?
mdp.39015006963899	Thus:( 5) What was the exact message telephoned from Paris to the Prefecture and hidden away in an enve- lope marked by Hanaud:"Address"?
mdp.39015006963899	Waberski's one of them, of course?
mdp.39015006963899	Was he disappointed, Frobisher wondered?
mdp.39015006963899	Was he in Hanaud's eyes the criminal?
mdp.39015006963899	Was he now, since the experiment had failed, resorting to another trick, setting a fresh trap?
mdp.39015006963899	Was she perhaps Waberski's friend?
mdp.39015006963899	Was that the whisper which reached your ears on the night when Madame died?"
mdp.39015006963899	Was the letter a trick?
mdp.39015006963899	Was there ever a failure more abject?"
mdp.39015006963899	Was there no room nearer which could have been set aside for the nurse?"
mdp.39015006963899	Was there not once a pearl necklace in England which was dropped in a match- box into the gutter when the pursuit became too hot?
mdp.39015006963899	Was this pres- ent geniality of his any less assumed than his other moods?
mdp.39015006963899	What 273 The House of the Arrow was it that I saw from the top of the Terrace Tower?
mdp.39015006963899	What age was she?
mdp.39015006963899	What are they but good qualities developed be- yond the bounds?
mdp.39015006963899	What can I do?"
mdp.39015006963899	What could he expect to find in that box?
mdp.39015006963899	What did I say to you in Paris?
mdp.39015006963899	What did that matter?
mdp.39015006963899	What do you know?"
mdp.39015006963899	What do you think?"
mdp.39015006963899	What does a little distress matter to you?
mdp.39015006963899	What had happened in that lighted room upstairs and in the dark room behind it?
mdp.39015006963899	What had he to do with Ann Upcott's escape?
mdp.39015006963899	What if that animal Waberski, with- out knowing it, were right, and Madame Harlowe was murdered in the Maison Grenelle?
mdp.39015006963899	What in the world had happened to Hanaud?
mdp.39015006963899	What is it that you miss?"
mdp.39015006963899	What is the strongest passion in the world?
mdp.39015006963899	What is the time, Gaston?"
mdp.39015006963899	What is this?
mdp.39015006963899	What more easy?
mdp.39015006963899	What more likely than that he should imagine Ann meant to run away and that Betty was helping her?
mdp.39015006963899	What was Hanaud seeking there?
mdp.39015006963899	What was I going to do with it?
mdp.39015006963899	What was it doing there?
mdp.39015006963899	When did you first suspect Betty Harlowe?"
mdp.39015006963899	When?
mdp.39015006963899	Where did she spring from?
mdp.39015006963899	Where is it?'
mdp.39015006963899	Where is to- day Simon Harlowe's arrow?"
mdp.39015006963899	Where was that shaft of the poison- arrow before?
mdp.39015006963899	Where?"
mdp.39015006963899	Whereto?"
mdp.39015006963899	Which was travesty and which truth?
mdp.39015006963899	Who filled it?
mdp.39015006963899	Who is she, Jim?
mdp.39015006963899	Who put this book back upon its shelf?
mdp.39015006963899	Who was to be stripped to the skin by that violent woman?
mdp.39015006963899	Who went straight out from the Maison Grenelle the moment I had gone, and went alone?
mdp.39015006963899	Who whispered'That will do now'?
mdp.39015006963899	Who would be the first poisoner to use it?
mdp.39015006963899	Who?
mdp.39015006963899	Who?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why could n't they leave well alone?
mdp.39015006963899	Why did Hanaud endure it?
mdp.39015006963899	Why did n't Jean Cladel come down and open the door upon the street of Gambetta?
mdp.39015006963899	Why did n't they hear Nicolas Moreau's soft whistle or the sound of his voice?
mdp.39015006963899	Why had n't they both spoken before?
mdp.39015006963899	Why is he at the door now?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why must she be where she could hear no cry, no sudden call?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why must they speak now?
mdp.39015006963899	Why should Made- moiselle still be going to the shop of Jean Cladel?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why should he question and question as if there were solid weight in the accusation?
mdp.39015006963899	Why should you?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why, then, should Hanaud give this mountebank of a fellow a free opportunity to slander Betty Harlowe?
mdp.39015006963899	Why?
mdp.39015006963899	Why?"
mdp.39015006963899	Why?"
mdp.39015006963899	Will you give me your friend's address?"
mdp.39015006963899	Will you go on with your questions?"
mdp.39015006963899	Will you help me to get all these troublesome dates now clear?
mdp.39015006963899	With your permission?"
mdp.39015006963899	Would a cry from Madame 51 The House of the Arrow Harlowe at night, when all the house was silent, be heard in the nurse's room?"
mdp.39015006963899	Would she resume?
mdp.39015006963899	Would she, indeed, within the next few minutes learn the truth?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?
mdp.39015006963899	Yes?"
mdp.39015006963899	You are content?
mdp.39015006963899	You are ready?
mdp.39015006963899	You are ready?"
mdp.39015006963899	You have met Julius Ricardo?
mdp.39015006963899	You have that?"
mdp.39015006963899	You have those two letters which Waberski wrote your firm?"
mdp.39015006963899	You inherit, I believe, the whole fortune of Madame?"
mdp.39015006963899	You looked at your watch?
mdp.39015006963899	You remember what I told you about Hanaud?
mdp.39015006963899	You roused no one?
mdp.39015006963899	You understand that?
mdp.39015006963899	You will go there to- day?"
mdp.39015006963899	You will see — what?
mdp.39015006963899	You will take your coffee, dear?"
mdp.39015006963899	You'll look pretty in handcuffs, wo n't you, Betty?
mdp.39015006963899	your dossier begins, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	'Usky. ” “ Oh, it is, is it?
mdp.39015000619877	- “ All clear? ” “ Yes, sir, ” replied the constable.
mdp.39015000619877	- “ Henry Hamper live here? ” “ What d'yer want'i m for? ” “ So he does live here, eh?”—quietly, from the doctor.
mdp.39015000619877	- “ Henry Hamper live here? ” “ What d'yer want'i m for? ” “ So he does live here, eh?”—quietly, from the doctor.
mdp.39015000619877	- “ Tall?
mdp.39015000619877	. ” “ Oh, I know what its colloquial meaning is, all right, Miss, but when did he tell you this? ” “ Why, when — when.
mdp.39015000619877	. ” “ Then why did you consent to speak to me after re- fusing to do so? ” “ Merely curiosity.
mdp.39015000619877	. ” “ Well? ” a casual voice at the other end of the wire answered him.
mdp.39015000619877	. ” “ What's your trouble? ” “ Well — er.
mdp.39015000619877	. ” “ When you saw him last, eh? ” “ Yes”—eagerly.
mdp.39015000619877	249 250 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ And who are you? ” in a similar tone of voice.
mdp.39015000619877	38 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ Inspector Higgins, sir?
mdp.39015000619877	44 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ Oh? ” An inflection in his voice, resentful of this Comment.
mdp.39015000619877	45 46 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ This second man looked frightened, you say? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	A CAR IS BORROWED I49 “ D'ye think ye own the road or what? ” he demanded, his voice squeaky with emotion.
mdp.39015000619877	Again he muttered but a single word: “ Incendiarism. ” “ What? ” the other shouted, scandalised.
mdp.39015000619877	All the way. ” “ Did you go up to the top again? ” “ Once, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	And at eleven fif- teen? ” “ Nearly here, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	And how many were there?
mdp.39015000619877	And if he went alone what sort of a reception awaited him?
mdp.39015000619877	And if the hat and gloves did not belong to Hamper, to whom did they belong?
mdp.39015000619877	And if the man had arrived after him, why had he not been warned by the open area door?
mdp.39015000619877	And in great distress, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	And now I've seen him, sir, I ’m reminded that he bought a cap from us fairly recently. ” “ He did, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	And of whom?
mdp.39015000619877	And supposing the chimney widened just a trifle as one were squirming upwards?
mdp.39015000619877	And the buttonhole business, and the absence of any clue as to the man's identity — was this deliberate or ac- cidental?
mdp.39015000619877	And the constable who had wilfully misdirected him?
mdp.39015000619877	And the man's voice?
mdp.39015000619877	And the smashed car — you found that, I sup- pose? ” “ Lumme, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	And then what?
mdp.39015000619877	And was Soapy's assistant with the ladder the owner of that ob- noxious voice?
mdp.39015000619877	And what about the other?
mdp.39015000619877	And what is the result? ” 252 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ I — I’ve got nothing to say, sir. ” “ What?
mdp.39015000619877	And what is the result? ” 252 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ I — I’ve got nothing to say, sir. ” “ What?
mdp.39015000619877	And what were the other two up to?
mdp.39015000619877	And where did he book to? ” “ Threepenny fare, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	And who had told him?
mdp.39015000619877	And who was the pseudo- constable?
mdp.39015000619877	And why delay?
mdp.39015000619877	And why had he started to enter that front room?
mdp.39015000619877	And why had the bogus constable gone to the trouble to explain that there was a uniformed police official in the other car?
mdp.39015000619877	And why oil?
mdp.39015000619877	And why post the letter at all?
mdp.39015000619877	And why were they found in that room at Bulstroade's Buildings?
mdp.39015000619877	And why wo n't you go? ” “ Do n’t like hospitals, ” the youth explained, sullenly.
mdp.39015000619877	And you think I'm one of the gang, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	And you think Tommy was locked in that upper room all night? ” “ Of course.
mdp.39015000619877	And — could the shot have been fired from another bus, do you think? ” “ Hardly.
mdp.39015000619877	And, more important of all, had Hamper written it?
mdp.39015000619877	Angry?
mdp.39015000619877	Any family? ” “ One.
mdp.39015000619877	Any more? ” “ Four more, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Anything else? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Anything else? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015000619877	Anything wrong with the old man? ” “ Dead, that's all. ” “ H'm.
mdp.39015000619877	Arm damaged, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	Assum- ing that he had taken the note at its face value, what would he have done?
mdp.39015000619877	At any rate”—with a grim smile—“he did n't, which is the main thing. ” “ And what of Mrs. Hick?
mdp.39015000619877	At the best it would greatly add to the hazardous mode of entry adopted, and what could be the reason?
mdp.39015000619877	Bit of a proposition, ai n't it? ” “ An'it's damned cold and damned dark.

mdp.39015000619877	But how to get down?
mdp.39015000619877	But of what?
mdp.39015000619877	But was the man still waiting at the bottom of the next flight of stairs?
mdp.39015000619877	But when were you locked in? ” “ The night before last. ” “ Good Lord!
mdp.39015000619877	But where? ” “ ’ OW sh’d I know? ” “ Well.
mdp.39015000619877	But where? ” “ ’ OW sh’d I know? ” “ Well.
mdp.39015000619877	But why anger? ” “ Ask me another.
mdp.39015000619877	But why come to me? ” She gazed at him in complete surprise.
mdp.39015000619877	But why here? ” “ My boy followed a bloke in here last night, and I ai n't seen him since. ” Inspector Higgins started.
mdp.39015000619877	But why return with the gun?
mdp.39015000619877	But why should he do such a thing as that?
mdp.39015000619877	By the way, to whom does that cottage a little further along the road belong? ” “ Dunno, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Can I give you a lift? ” “ That's kind of you, Doc. ” The two police officials descended the stairs to the base- Iment.
mdp.39015000619877	Can you oblige me with the address of the manager or of someone in authority? ” “ Certainly, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Cold and calcu- lating?

mdp.39015000619877	Could a man be arrested for stealing his own property?
mdp.39015000619877	D'ye reckon'e'd find out? ” “ Oi – Oi'opes not.
mdp.39015000619877	Did he ask for a drink or anything when you found him? ” “ No.
mdp.39015000619877	Did he travel on the top deck to avoid contact with other passengers?
mdp.39015000619877	Did n't his son think they were worth taking? ” “ ’ E give'em to me, sir, ” said Mrs Hick.
mdp.39015000619877	Did that sudden intake of breath indicate that the man realised that all was not well within the room?
mdp.39015000619877	Did the man expect to be able to bluff the police when enquiries were made?
mdp.39015000619877	Did you examine the key? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Did you, or did you not look behind that skirting- board? ” “ I — I had the floor- boards up, sir, ” the man hedged, almost in despair.
mdp.39015000619877	Do you think we might come to some — er — arrangement? ” “ Cuthbert, you pain me beyond expression.

mdp.39015000619877	Finished with him, Doc? ” Dr. Pape nodded affirmatively.
mdp.39015000619877	Five in all. ” “ Five?
mdp.39015000619877	Gimme a straight answer! ” 2I2 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ I — I- er — thought » “ Did you or did you not? ” shouted Higgins.
mdp.39015000619877	Had Heckenstein been warned, either by the pro- prietor or by the weary- looking assistant?
mdp.39015000619877	Had anyone on the first or second floor a sporting rifle or other gun?
mdp.39015000619877	Had either the policeman or the big man posted the letter for him?
mdp.39015000619877	Had he been offered suitable compensation to give a hand?
mdp.39015000619877	Had he returned for something — some clue or other — which he hoped to redeem?
mdp.39015000619877	Had she noticed whether the large man had been hatless when he left?
mdp.39015000619877	Had the boy's revenge started with that crime?
mdp.39015000619877	Had they a licence?
mdp.39015000619877	Has he passed through our hands, then? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Have you looked any further? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	He did n't finish up with ‘ Ora pro nobis'by any chance? ” “ No, sir”—stolidly.
mdp.39015000619877	He did n't mean him. ” “ How d'y'know? ” “ He only used the usual phrase.
mdp.39015000619877	He firmly believed he could descend to the ground by this method — but Tommy?
mdp.39015000619877	He got home all right? ” “ Quite all right.
mdp.39015000619877	He says he's a friend of Mr. Sudd. ” Sudd?
mdp.39015000619877	He — he looked — well — er — frightened, Sir. ” “ What was he like? ” “ He held a handkerchief to his face, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	He- he's been so funny since his father died. ” “ In what way? ” “ He ’s sworn all sorts of vengeance to the men he thinks responsible.
mdp.39015000619877	Here's the point — are you certain that you would be able to recognise him were you to see him again? ” “ Well — I do n't really know.
mdp.39015000619877	Holler?
mdp.39015000619877	How did you come to miss this? ” “ I — I could have sworn I looked behind the floor- edging, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	How did you get in? ” The boy leaned over and whispered: “ Soapy let me in the back door.
mdp.39015000619877	How to repel the attack, with the others armed?
mdp.39015000619877	How was it then he had forgotten to take Hamper's hat with him?
mdp.39015000619877	How's the missus?
mdp.39015000619877	How's this sound to you?
mdp.39015000619877	I do n't'ave ter go, do I? ” “ I'm afraid so.
mdp.39015000619877	I made a bad break there. ” “ What made you shoot Sanderson? ” “ I was somewhat hasty, Sis.
mdp.39015000619877	I meant to convey that Mr. Raymond — er — no longer lives here. ” “ I thought I heard him speak in the hall just now. ” “ That?
mdp.39015000619877	I saw him go. ” “ So he got away all right, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	I saw the man Raymond that night, and paid him one hundred pounds in notes. ” “ Why? ” “ To keep him quiet about something”—ashamedly.
mdp.39015000619877	I suppose I can have the car back? ” “ Certainly, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	I wonder who our ‘ frend'is?
mdp.39015000619877	I would go to the po- lice for protection, but what's the good?
mdp.39015000619877	I ’ve never purchased my freedom yet and — ” “ D'y'think I want your filthy money? ” interrupted Higgins in a loud voice.
mdp.39015000619877	In fact, I ’ve been waiting for you to ask me that, and I'm dead sure I did n't. ” “ What about you, George? ” “ Too busy to notice, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	In that case, why had n't the previous searchers found it?
mdp.39015000619877	Inspector Higgins? ” Higgins was immediately galvanised into life, his body tensed and became rigid.
mdp.39015000619877	Irretrievably?
mdp.39015000619877	Is it a busy route, for instance? ” “ X87, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	Is it a busy route, for instance? ” “ X87, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	Is it from you to Tommy? ” The girl made no reply, merely nodding affirmatively.
mdp.39015000619877	Is that all? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Is that you, Chief?
mdp.39015000619877	Is that you, sir? ”( The inspector sighed wearily.)
mdp.39015000619877	Is the dear inspector — er — non com- pos — I mean hors de combat? ” A pause.
mdp.39015000619877	Is there anything I can do for you on the way or when I get there? ” Summers made a gallant attempt to pull himself to- gether.
mdp.39015000619877	It seemed to point to sudden flight, yet, if this were correct, what had warned Mapell and Heckenstein of impending danger?
mdp.39015000619877	It was no hoax, eh? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	It's a lesson. ” “ But why did he do that, sir? ” “ Because, I imagine, he was quick to seize upon an opportunity.
mdp.39015000619877	Jill what? ” “ Jill Crawford. ” Higgins made a mental note of the name, and deter- mined to make suitable enquiries.
mdp.39015000619877	Medium?
mdp.39015000619877	Mr. William Succour?
mdp.39015000619877	My car's here. ” “ I ’d better meet you at the Buildings, sir, had n't I? ” “ Do n’t be a fool.
mdp.39015000619877	No harm in that, was there?
mdp.39015000619877	No one would dare — ” “ Would n't they? ” Higgins broke in upon the other's remarks.
mdp.39015000619877	Nothing, eh? ” A sudden explanation occurred to the inspector.
mdp.39015000619877	Now I ask you, as man to man — ” “ What Mansions? ” queried the inspector, casually.
mdp.39015000619877	Now what?
mdp.39015000619877	Now where had he —?
mdp.39015000619877	Now you come to mention it, there were n't. ” “ And why? ” “ It licks me, sir. ” “ I ’ll tell you.
mdp.39015000619877	Now, how the deuce had he got into this mess?
mdp.39015000619877	Quartet?
mdp.39015000619877	Raymond is no longer with us. ” “ Dead? ” HE MEETS ANOTHER OLD FRIEND I2I “ I'm afraid I express myself rather badly.
mdp.39015000619877	Remember the date? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	SUMMERS COMMENCES OPERATIONS 25 I'm agoin ’? ” Constable Summers watched her retreat, then cast his eye round for another victim.
mdp.39015000619877	Seen him lately? ” “ No. ” “ You do n't seem as worried as you did some time ago.
mdp.39015000619877	Send — er — what's that new man's name? ” “ Summers, sir? ” “ That's the fellow.
mdp.39015000619877	Send — er — what's that new man's name? ” “ Summers, sir? ” “ That's the fellow.
mdp.39015000619877	Sergeant Mercier opened the notebook and read out therefrom: “ XX 57936. ” “ You have? ” said Higgins, interested at last.
mdp.39015000619877	Short?
mdp.39015000619877	Should he keep the knowledge to himself, or should he let the pair see that in spite of the mask he had identified the intruder?
mdp.39015000619877	Show her up, please. ” Now what did Tommy's girl, Miss Jill Crawford, want?
mdp.39015000619877	So he had three left — or was it two?
mdp.39015000619877	So that was it — was it? ” “ It was. ” “ It ’s just been reported, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	So we do n't know what Mansions, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	So you've seen the solicitors and un- burdened your soul?
mdp.39015000619877	Specially as we're open all night. ” “ Will you attend to all that? ” A SUPERINTENDENT FAILS TO OBLIGE 163 “ Of course, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Still alive and kicking, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	Still here? ” he asked unnecessarily.
mdp.39015000619877	Stuck his head in a gas- oven or something, did n't he? ” “ More or less.
mdp.39015000619877	Succour and Son?
mdp.39015000619877	Sudd?
mdp.39015000619877	Suddenly: “ Got it! ” “ What, sir? ” queried the conductor, open- mouthed.
mdp.39015000619877	Suicide? ” He looked up at the constable.
mdp.39015000619877	Supposing all this — why send the letter?
mdp.39015000619877	Sure? ” “ Positive, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Surely, he reflected, they would have the nous to telephone the Yard for the required help?
mdp.39015000619877	THE INSPECTOR SHOWS HIS PACES Io9 “ Too big? ” repeated the inspector, unbelievingly.
mdp.39015000619877	Tell the ambulance men that I'm here, will you?
mdp.39015000619877	Thank God it's all over now! ” “ Why? ” “ The man's dead, is n't he? ” “ That's nothing”—brutally.
mdp.39015000619877	Thank God it's all over now! ” “ Why? ” “ The man's dead, is n't he? ” “ That's nothing”—brutally.
mdp.39015000619877	That would be the driver. ” “ Pardon, sir? ” “ Nothing, Mercier.
mdp.39015000619877	That you, Bill?
mdp.39015000619877	The bonds presumably were bought for cash? ” Inspector Higgins nodded.
mdp.39015000619877	The conductor in question, Charles Northcote — what can you tell me of him? ” “ Northcote — Northcote.
mdp.39015000619877	The only heavy thing he could think of at the moment was Mr. Sanderson, but surely he had no corners?
mdp.39015000619877	Then he's been moved? ” “ ’ Course'e'as. ” A gratuitous comment from one of the onlookers.
mdp.39015000619877	Then the place where the man had boarded the bus, Glass- well Street — could one assume that this was near to the home of the deceased?
mdp.39015000619877	Then what? ” “ You let out an awful yell when you dropped, sir, and a bloke what was further along the passage started run- ning, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Then where did the policeman come in?
mdp.39015000619877	Then: THE INSPECTOR IS ATTACKED I57 “ In disguise, sir? ” he queried diffidently.
mdp.39015000619877	Then: “ Did you recognise the man? ” “ No.
mdp.39015000619877	Then: “ I- I do n't think I'd better say any more. ” “ Why not, me dear?
mdp.39015000619877	There's a telephone here, is n't there?
mdp.39015000619877	They do you?
mdp.39015000619877	They rang up to give word that they were resuming their duties now instead of coming straight to the Yard. ” “ They did, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	Too high, I suppose? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015000619877	Two des- peradoes, adequately armed, and himself with — how many bullets left?
mdp.39015000619877	Under the circs? ” Inspector Higgins did not answer, but motioned the other to proceed.
mdp.39015000619877	Was Glasswell Street near a railway station, and, if so, what was the line?
mdp.39015000619877	Was Higgins justified in disturbing the coroner's verdict — “ Suicide whilst of unsound mind ”?
mdp.39015000619877	Was Mapell speaking the truth when he suggested that he consistently disguised his voice?
mdp.39015000619877	Was Sanderson telling the truth?
mdp.39015000619877	Was he as big as me? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Was he not crediting the “ voice ” with too much ingenuity?
mdp.39015000619877	Was he quick- witted enough for such an action?
mdp.39015000619877	Was he still hankering after his melodramatic revenge?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it his usual voice or was it merely a pose for effect and possibly protection?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it imagination or could he detect a faint smell of gas?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it likely that the man Mapell had worn the gloves whilst in the presence of his associates and before his suspicions had been aroused?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it likely, therefore, that Henry Hamper, a tenant of but three weeks, should have known the old name?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it not possible that he had returned by the same route unbeknown to the constable left on guard?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it not possible that the omission of the hat had been A BURGLARY IS COMMITTED 22I deliberate?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it possible that after all Raymond had been shot by young Hamper?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it that subtle sixth sense which sometimes cautions the habitual criminal?
mdp.39015000619877	Was it two or three?
mdp.39015000619877	Was she likely to have committed suicide?
mdp.39015000619877	Was that covered with paper — like you said the windows were? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Was the consequent delay worth the information?
mdp.39015000619877	Was the constable's suggestion that it had been placed there since the search to be discarded because it was highly improbable?
mdp.39015000619877	Was there any connection between the two men?
mdp.39015000619877	We have accomplished his purpose. ” “ And that was? ” “ To invite enquiry into the house.
mdp.39015000619877	We were crawling » “ On hands and knees? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	We'll make a further search, if you'll be good. ” “ You ’ll let him go, wo n't you? ” “ I hope so.
mdp.39015000619877	We've had the other communication which you said we might receive. ” “ You ’ve got the messenger? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Wearily he lifted the re- ceiver, and voiced a desultory “ Hullo! ” “ Someone wishes to speak to you, sir. ” “ Who is it?
mdp.39015000619877	Well, of course, that is an alternative, but — is there not a chance that the whole thing may turn out to be a hoax? ” “ Hoax, sir?
mdp.39015000619877	Well, of course, that is an alternative, but — is there not a chance that the whole thing may turn out to be a hoax? ” “ Hoax, sir?
mdp.39015000619877	Well, who is he? ” “ I dunno who he is, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Were the official police revolvers six- or seven- cham- bered?
mdp.39015000619877	Were there any known crooks of exceptional size?
mdp.39015000619877	What about it? ” “ I — I never thought of that, sir. ” “ H'm.
mdp.39015000619877	What about those?
mdp.39015000619877	What are you afraid of? ” The girl remained silent.
mdp.39015000619877	What are you doing here? ” “ N- n- nothing, sir. ” “ H'm.
mdp.39015000619877	What came out at the inquest? ” “ You ought to know, Higgins.
mdp.39015000619877	What could be deduced from this?
mdp.39015000619877	What d'you make of it? ” queried Inspector Higgins, who had been studying the other keenly whilst he was reading the letter.
mdp.39015000619877	What did they gain by placing the letter in a plain envelope before posting it?
mdp.39015000619877	What did you do when he first entered the room to open the window? ” The answer came back over the wire with the utmost prompti- tude.
mdp.39015000619877	What do you want me to do? ” 257 258 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ I ’ll let you know to- morrow morning. ” “ Right.
mdp.39015000619877	What does that tell us?
mdp.39015000619877	What fools these mortals be! ” “ So that's his lay, is it?
mdp.39015000619877	What made you think of the name of ‘ Jill'? ” “ Dunno.
mdp.39015000619877	What must I do? ” Constable Summers thought furiously, for, as far as he was aware, there was nothing further to be done.
mdp.39015000619877	What of Tommy?
mdp.39015000619877	What on earth did he expect to gain even though he killed or captured the inspector?
mdp.39015000619877	What purpose did the letter serve?
mdp.39015000619877	What the deuce do you think you all want?
mdp.39015000619877	What things? ” “ Coo.
mdp.39015000619877	What was it that other conductor had said about a buttonhole?
mdp.39015000619877	What was that?
mdp.39015000619877	What was the big idea just now? ” “ I thought you locked me in. ” “ Well, I did n't.
mdp.39015000619877	What was the first step?
mdp.39015000619877	What was the other man like? ” “ Big feller.
mdp.39015000619877	What would be the man's reaction on finding the open door?
mdp.39015000619877	What would happen?
mdp.39015000619877	What would have been his reaction to the sound of the shot?
mdp.39015000619877	What's it matter, anyway?
mdp.39015000619877	What's that?
mdp.39015000619877	What's that?
mdp.39015000619877	What's the next item on your pro- gramme? ” The other made no attempt at reply, but Inspector Higgins, for his part, did not expect one.
mdp.39015000619877	What's up? ” “ You did n't notice a smell of gas, did you?”—unfortu- nately expressed.
mdp.39015000619877	What, if anything, was the peculiar significance of this?
mdp.39015000619877	When and where was it written?
mdp.39015000619877	When did it arrive? ” “ Ten minutes before you came, sir. ” “ Thanks.
mdp.39015000619877	When he had fin- ished: “ And what, exactly, do you want from me, Inspector? ” “ First of all, sir, particulars of this bus- route.
mdp.39015000619877	When you see him, tell him I ’d like to have a talk with him, will you? ” “ Certainly. ” “ Thanks very much.
mdp.39015000619877	Where was he locked in, by the way? ” “ Attic. ” “ Any signs? ” “ I ’m just going up to have another look around. ” “ Right.
mdp.39015000619877	Where was he locked in, by the way? ” “ Attic. ” “ Any signs? ” “ I ’m just going up to have another look around. ” “ Right.
mdp.39015000619877	Where was the most likely place to find that mysterious clue which either Thomas Hamper or the “ voice ” had left behind?
mdp.39015000619877	Where were they?
mdp.39015000619877	Where's Smart gone to? ” “ Getting some water, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	Whilst he was so close upon his quarry, could he afford the time to stop and telephone ahead?
mdp.39015000619877	Who are you? ” Inspector Higgins infused into his voice just a faint suggestion of asperity to bolster up his remark.
mdp.39015000619877	Who do you take me for? ” The girl did not reply.
mdp.39015000619877	Who then was the policeman?
mdp.39015000619877	Why ca n't you leave my boy alone? ” Like an angry kitten, with blazing eyes she stormed for a moment, then once more seemed afraid.
mdp.39015000619877	Why do n't you go in the next room — there's a fire laid there? ” “ Good idea.
mdp.39015000619877	Will it help you if I say that we know the man to have been a blackmailer? ” Not exactly the truth, perhaps, but — “ I see.
mdp.39015000619877	Wo n't me own do? ” “ All right.
mdp.39015000619877	Would Dryan in his turn be killed or kidnapped?
mdp.39015000619877	Would the last bus on this route be crowded or not?
mdp.39015000619877	Would the “ voice ” make the same mistake again?
mdp.39015000619877	Yet why had n't Heckenstein come along and paid his shilling to recover the notes?
mdp.39015000619877	Yet why stay in the house afterwards?
mdp.39015000619877	Yet, if they were right, where was the bullet?
mdp.39015000619877	You ca n't kill a chap merely because he gives you — what did you call it?
mdp.39015000619877	You know where he is? ” 228 THE MURDER ON THE BUS “ No. ” “ H'm.
mdp.39015000619877	You want information, eh? ” “ Yes”—eagerly.
mdp.39015000619877	You ’d probably have told him that in any case?
mdp.39015000619877	You're not too sure that he is innocent, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	You're sure? ” A thorough search failed to reveal any more weapons of that make.
mdp.39015000619877	You're the police surgeon? ” “ I am.
mdp.39015000619877	You've squared the land- lady all right? ” “ Yes. ” A pause.
mdp.39015000619877	Your first impres- sion — generally right, by the way — was that on coming down the steps his face — er — what is that American word?
mdp.39015000619877	and possibly took the er — necessary steps. ” “ But we'll never know, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	‘ Found drowned'was the verdict, I think you said? ” “ Ah!
mdp.39015000619877	“ A gentleman to see you, sir. ” “ What's he want? ” “ Dunno, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ A letter for you — er — Chief! ” “ Chief? ” Higgins frowned.
mdp.39015000619877	“ An accident? ” he queried, of no one in particular.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And do the police always catch the criminal, Mr. Higgins? ” queried Jill Crawford, thrilled to the core.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And have we breakfasted this morning? ” he enquired: Dumbly she shook her head, and Higgins forthwith pressed a bell upon his desk.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And how did he know? ” “ I dunno, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And is there not sufficient coal- gas to kill a man in one pennyworth? ” “ It is just about possible, sir, but highly improbable.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And it was like this when you arrived on the scene, I suppose? ” The constable nodded dumbly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And now what? ” he queried.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And the Fire Brigade Superintendent?
mdp.39015000619877	“ And the address? ” “ I, Horse Street, Poplar. ” “ Gosh.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And what did you find in that inside pocket, Constable? ” “ A wad o'notes, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And what of Tyndall's shop in Shoreditch? ” “ Very useful, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ And where's that? ” “ Rahnd the corner, ” replied the other in some sur- prise.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Anything wrong, sir? ” A very anxious voice from the regions below asked the question eagerly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Awful sight, ai n't he, sir? ” “ He certainly is.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Bobby, what a magnificent humbug you are! ” “ Are n't I?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Bulstroade's Buildings, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ But we'll have to wait until the guard arrives, wo n't we, Higgins? ” “ No.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Can I borrow your car? ” The superintendent was nonplussed — and looked it.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Can I operate in here, sir?
mdp.39015000619877	“ D'ye think I pinched'em? ” she shouted.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Dead, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Did either of you hear a shot? ” The conductor spoke first, immediately the question had been asked.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Did the son take anything away? ” “ Nuthin'worth takin'—'cept the key.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Did you ever find out why Mapell followed us into that house at Horton? ” “ Ca n't say.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Did you know this poor devil had been shot twice? ” “ What? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Did you know this poor devil had been shot twice? ” “ What? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Did you make the call, sir? ” “ No, miss. ” “ Then if you'll replace your receiver they may ring up again, and.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Do n’t we just know it! ” “ Do you want me to look into it, sir? ” “ I do.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Do you mean to tell me that the car I lifted belonged to a- er — brother profes- sional? ” “ Something like that, Bobby. ” “ Gosh!
mdp.39015000619877	“ Do you remember him getting on? ” “ As a matter of fact, I do, sir. ” Ah!
mdp.39015000619877	“ Drive? ” Higgins nodded.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Er — er — are you in charge of the bus murder, sir? ” The words came with a rush, the hoarseness of the voice being due to emotion.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Er — excuse me, sir, but — er — why do you want to see them? ” ventured the constable diffidently, most anxious to learn.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Er — how's your Tommy? ” “ I ’m just on my way to see him, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Five foot eight? ” he queried.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Got that?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Holler?
mdp.39015000619877	“ How about Mr. Hamper's hat and gloves?
mdp.39015000619877	“ How d'you know? ” he queried artlessly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ How do you know? ” “ I — I do n't really know, but I feel it. ” “ H'm. ” Higgins, the sceptic, emitted an unchivalrous grunt.
mdp.39015000619877	“ How far are my feet from the chimney, Tommy? ” he gasped.
mdp.39015000619877	“ How long has he been a tenant of yours? ” “ Three weeks. ”( She giggled, having recently read a book with a similar title.)
mdp.39015000619877	“ How long, Doctor? ” “ Better wait five minutes.
mdp.39015000619877	“ How's tricks?
mdp.39015000619877	“ I — I'm looking for my T- Tommy, sir. ” “ And who's Tommy? ” “ My boy”—proudly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Inspector Higgins?
mdp.39015000619877	“ London wants you. ” A period of splutterings and ear- splitting noises, then: “ Inspector Higgins, please? ” “ Speaking. ” “ Oh.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Lost your tile, Higgins? ” “ Yes”—shortly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Me and my gang, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Mother Hubbard? ” queried the doctor, looking up from his gruesome task and noting the bare shelves.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Murder?
mdp.39015000619877	“ No friends? ” She shook her head, dumbly, and the inspector felt a surge of pity.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Not there?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Nothing doing. ” “ Eh? ” “ Nothing doing.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Now what? ” “ Sorry, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Often? ” “ Well, sir, he's wore one each time I ’ve seen him.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Pape? ” queried the other disrespectfully.
mdp.39015000619877	“ She knew nothing of us. ” “ The car was in your name, was n't it, Tommy? ” “ Yes. ” Hamper frowned.
mdp.39015000619877	“ So our bus man has not yet been reported missing, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ So the swine squeaked, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ So there's nothing doing, eh? ” “ Bull's- eye! ” “ Ah, well.
mdp.39015000619877	“ So you did n't look, eh? ” remarked Higgins as he surveyed the heap of soot.
mdp.39015000619877	“ So, my dear Sanderson, you have failed, eh? ” A fierce menace in the words.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Someone's been on guard here all the time? ” “ Yessir. ” “ Then how could this have been put there without your knowledge?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Someone's been on guard here all the time? ” “ Yessir. ” “ Then how could this have been put there without your knowledge?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Straight ahead? ” it queried.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Suppose the poor devil's still alive, sir?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Sure? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ The back seat, Constable? ” The man nodded.
mdp.39015000619877	“ There were half a dozen in the gang. ” “ D- do you think they'll be after me again? ” “ Sure to”—cheerfully.
mdp.39015000619877	“ They were no good to'i m. ” “ Why? ” “ Too big”—laconically.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Thomas?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Was there a moon last night? ” he queried, without preamble.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well, Higgins, who's dead? ” “ Nobody yet, but this boy wants to run amok with a hatchet.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well, Sergeant? ” “ I ’ve carried out your instructions, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well, my dear? ” Again a hint of tears, instantly suppressed.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well, sir? ” The man gave a start at being addressed, and licked his lips in a harassed manner.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well, sonny?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well? ” he queried, smilingly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Well? ” “ It was at Glasswell Street, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What about the skylight?
mdp.39015000619877	“ What d'y'want? ” “ I ’ve been trailing that girl, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What d'yer mean? ” she demanded truculently, yet with a tinge of apprehension.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What do you know of him? ” “ ’ E were n't a mucher.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What do you mean, my dear?
mdp.39015000619877	“ What's he want? ” THE YOUNG LADY RETURNS IOI “ Dunno, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What's his voice like? ” “ ’ Usky, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What's up, mate? ”( Two of them!
mdp.39015000619877	“ What's up, old chap? ” he asked encouragingly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ What, sir? ” “ So, after all, you are satisfied as to the deceased's identity. ” “ Gosh, sir, I forgot all about what you said!
mdp.39015000619877	“ When you entered, Sergeant, were there any foot- marks in the rooms like yours? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Where's the landlady? ” “ Gorn P ’ “ What d'you mean, ‘ Gorn'? ” Summers was startled.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Where's the landlady? ” “ Gorn P ’ “ What d'you mean, ‘ Gorn'? ” Summers was startled.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Who are you? ” he asked abruptly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Who are you? ” queried Higgins, testily.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Who is it? ” “ Me, sir — er — Constable Jones, sir, ” the man amended quickly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why 7"“ What about the lamp on the bus which lights up the indicator board at the rear? ” “ A good point, Doc, but it wo n't hold water.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why did n't the kid try to break down the door, I wonder? ” “ Because it opens inwards.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why not tell me all about it, Mr. Adams?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why the blazes did n't I think of that before? ” he muttered.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why the blazes did n't you come to us in the first place? ”- The man stared ashamedly at the floor, but made n reply.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why the hell do n't the poor fools come to us? ” he muttered, through his teeth.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Why?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Will you come and try to identify the man — if called upon? ” “ I – er — I ca n't very well.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Worth my while, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ Would you marry a murderer, my dear? ” The girl did not answer, so Higgins turned again to the youth.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Yes? ” she queried timidly.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Yes? ” “ Dr.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Yessir. ” “ Who did you see? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015000619877	“ Yessir? ” The doctor continued with a smile: “ Take his finger- prints.
mdp.39015000619877	“ You have a duplicate key of this room, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ You have n't cleaned up his room, I suppose? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000619877	“ You know what he was, I suppose? ” Summers nodded affirmatively.
mdp.39015000619877	“ You recognise him, eh?
mdp.39015000619877	“ You ’ve got photographs of the deceased, I suppose? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015018391675	A little hazy yet, eh?
mdp.39015018391675	All hopped up to- night?
mdp.39015018391675	And The Beast — who is he?
mdp.39015018391675	And about my other business — do you want to know about that — have some one with me wherever I go?
mdp.39015018391675	And he had a father called D. Perry Davidson?
mdp.39015018391675	And how do I know that? mdp.39015018391675 And the Kid?"
mdp.39015018391675	And the Kid?
mdp.39015018391675	And the crime?
mdp.39015018391675	And the paper this morning, Benny?
mdp.39015018391675	And the will — you'll bring that?
mdp.39015018391675	And what good is a will if the maker of it has noth- ing to will?
mdp.39015018391675	And what proof must you have of my integrity?
mdp.39015018391675	And you agree?
mdp.39015018391675	And you were to kill Muriel Davidson — why?
mdp.39015018391675	And you'll take the blame for any shooting that comes in the way of my duty — duty to the force, eh?
mdp.39015018391675	And you'll take the money?
mdp.39015018391675	Anything else — automobile accidents? mdp.39015018391675 Anything?"
mdp.39015018391675	Are n't my answers to your questions satisfactory? mdp.39015018391675 Are you sure,"I stared straight down at her,"that there is n't blood on the money now — that it is n't just blood money?"
mdp.39015018391675	Are you the girl — that Danny had the fight — the shooting over, when he went to prison?
mdp.39015018391675	Briskey has n't gone in to see him — or any one?
mdp.39015018391675	Briskey, eh?
mdp.39015018391675	But what have you got on me?
mdp.39015018391675	But you'll go — drop the case?
mdp.39015018391675	Central Office men?
mdp.39015018391675	Come — will you go in with me; work with me when possible until we get this man?
mdp.39015018391675	Did he tell you anything?
mdp.39015018391675	Did you lock him up?
mdp.39015018391675	Do n't know much about this place though — this Dr. DeLancy, is he any good?
mdp.39015018391675	Do you know any more jokes?
mdp.39015018391675	Do you know the gent?
mdp.39015018391675	Do you now?
mdp.39015018391675	Do you think he should be sent away?
mdp.39015018391675	Do you want to get tossed out?
mdp.39015018391675	Does she know all this — and your mother — your stepfather? mdp.39015018391675 For how much will you go?"
mdp.39015018391675	Got a friend sick?
mdp.39015018391675	Got — The Beast?
mdp.39015018391675	Gunman, Benny?
mdp.39015018391675	He spoke of money — his inheritance — a sister — great wealth?
mdp.39015018391675	He told you that?
mdp.39015018391675	He wrote you?
mdp.39015018391675	He's dead?
mdp.39015018391675	How did you know I had such a paper?
mdp.39015018391675	How do you know? mdp.39015018391675 I —?
mdp.39015018391675	I'm a Headquarters'man — where's the light?
mdp.39015018391675	If some one has n't anything to fear from Danny — then why the attempt upon his life?
mdp.39015018391675	Is n't it true?
mdp.39015018391675	Is n't it true?
mdp.39015018391675	Is the man's right name — his real name — Daniel Davidson?
mdp.39015018391675	It's late — what do you say?
mdp.39015018391675	Join the force?
mdp.39015018391675	Just where are you?
mdp.39015018391675	Kill Muriel David- son? mdp.39015018391675 Know where Doctor DeLancy's Sanitarium is, brother?"
mdp.39015018391675	Late? mdp.39015018391675 Mr. Williams — Race Williams — can you come to me — here in Spuyten Duyvil?
mdp.39015018391675	Must — or lose the opportunity, eh?
mdp.39015018391675	Of course,I added,"none of the story is true?"
mdp.39015018391675	Really, it's too kind of you — and if I do n't agree, what then?
mdp.39015018391675	Shall I bring the girl in?
mdp.39015018391675	Some one dead?
mdp.39015018391675	Suppose I should trap you here — put you in danger of your life — and that life was saved; what then?
mdp.39015018391675	That night at my house? mdp.39015018391675 The Snarl of the Beast,"I heard Coglin mutter — then as another shot broke the silence, he called —"Clancy, are you all right?"
mdp.39015018391675	Their— who was"their"?
mdp.39015018391675	Then why do you fear the other side — fear me — my investigation?
mdp.39015018391675	There by the door — ain't that Ed — or — give him a call; did he let the dirty skunk, Race Williams, slip?
mdp.39015018391675	This you?
mdp.39015018391675	To- night — late?
mdp.39015018391675	Was that a shot? mdp.39015018391675 Well,"he said after a bit,"what do you say?"
mdp.39015018391675	What became of her?
mdp.39015018391675	What did he tell you?
mdp.39015018391675	What do I say to that?
mdp.39015018391675	What do you know of Jake Minely?
mdp.39015018391675	What do you know of this?
mdp.39015018391675	What do you say? mdp.39015018391675 What else did he tell you?"
mdp.39015018391675	What else? mdp.39015018391675 What happened to him to- night — beneath your win- dow?"
mdp.39015018391675	What have I got to do with the police?
mdp.39015018391675	What have you done for me, Race Williams — what have you done?
mdp.39015018391675	What of Danny?
mdp.39015018391675	What right have I to think of love? mdp.39015018391675 What was that?"
mdp.39015018391675	What — what are you going to do?
mdp.39015018391675	What's the game, Jake — what were you doing under my win- dow — why kill me — and what of the girl there?
mdp.39015018391675	What's the game? mdp.39015018391675 What's the price?"
mdp.39015018391675	What's wrong?
mdp.39015018391675	Who is this girl? mdp.39015018391675 Who told you this?"
mdp.39015018391675	Who — who is this?
mdp.39015018391675	Why am I indebted to you for this visit — forcible entry, they call it?
mdp.39015018391675	Why bother?
mdp.39015018391675	Why had Barton Briskey come to me?
mdp.39015018391675	Why have you come to me?
mdp.39015018391675	Why to- night — why not bust in on me every night — make a habit of it?
mdp.39015018391675	Will I light the lamp — now?
mdp.39015018391675	Will he talk?
mdp.39015018391675	Will you — will you take the money?
mdp.39015018391675	Ya would, would ya?
mdp.39015018391675	Yes,I said,"I can — where?"
mdp.39015018391675	You came to my house for what purpose?
mdp.39015018391675	You did n't believe it — believe him?
mdp.39015018391675	You get the credit and I get the lead, eh?
mdp.39015018391675	You have a case then — another case?
mdp.39015018391675	You have my letter — with you?
mdp.39015018391675	You say they're on the front stairs, Briskey? mdp.39015018391675 You should have sent flowers,"I said — then more seriously,"Who sent you word?"
mdp.39015018391675	You threaten me?
mdp.39015018391675	You understand his — his condition?
mdp.39015018391675	You wo n't arrest — Milly?
mdp.39015018391675	You wo n't betray him — what good can it do you? mdp.39015018391675 You — you wish to consult me on business?"
mdp.39015018391675	You—she cocked her head up at me like a bull pup—"why did you come and put him like this?
mdp.39015018391675	You'll forget it all then — your visit here — and he did n't give you anything, did he?
mdp.39015018391675	166 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST"Where is Danny?"
mdp.39015018391675	174 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST"Suppose I sent you away on a case, and later you discovered that there was no case — what then?"
mdp.39015018391675	197 to step into the light?
mdp.39015018391675	198 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST And in a hoarse voice,"Hey, Ed — did he — did the meat come that way?"
mdp.39015018391675	212 IN THE HANDS OF THE LAW 213"Made a haul?"
mdp.39015018391675	226 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST"You mean Jake Minely?"
mdp.39015018391675	263 264 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST"Barton Briskey does n't look so pleasant, eh, Benny?"
mdp.39015018391675	60 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST"About what?"
mdp.39015018391675	A bullet proof body?
mdp.39015018391675	A bullet?
mdp.39015018391675	A forty- four?
mdp.39015018391675	A hard, cold business?
mdp.39015018391675	A letter she- A HAND ON THE SILL 133 thought I had?
mdp.39015018391675	A little too well dressed?
mdp.39015018391675	A paid murderer or one who sought private vengeance?
mdp.39015018391675	A party of youths tooting their defiance to prohibition?
mdp.39015018391675	After all was it true that Danny had gotten in touch with her?
mdp.39015018391675	After my escape from almost certain death, was I now going to a surer end?
mdp.39015018391675	Again if there was nothing com- ing to Danny, why fear him?
mdp.39015018391675	Again, who was head of the gang?
mdp.39015018391675	Am I to under- stand that you're giving me my freedom now to kill this — this Beast?"
mdp.39015018391675	And also what of the stranger who had gone through the tenement doorway?
mdp.39015018391675	And did Davidson hold some information that made the underworld thirst for his blood?
mdp.39015018391675	And had Danny really written them?
mdp.39015018391675	And had the man across the street seen me duck into the alley?
mdp.39015018391675	And if she had whispered something, what was it?
mdp.39015018391675	And the girl Milly — was she with him — why did n't she talk?
mdp.39015018391675	And the girl?
mdp.39015018391675	And the time?
mdp.39015018391675	And what bank?
mdp.39015018391675	And what was the girl to me?
mdp.39015018391675	And what's more he particularly mentioned CHAPTER XXV A CERTAIN LADY AGAIN Could Barton Briskey's story after all be true?
mdp.39015018391675	And when he did n't answer at once,"Come clean, Coglin — what do you intend to do with her?"
mdp.39015018391675	And who would have nerve enough to take such a chance?
mdp.39015018391675	And why had Danny been told once that the Davidson fortune was his — or had he been told it?
mdp.39015018391675	And why had n't some one heard those shots already and notified the police?
mdp.39015018391675	And with a sudden thought,"The money — the cops did n't frisk you for it?"
mdp.39015018391675	Away?
mdp.39015018391675	Be kind and generous and —"Then suddenly,"He did n't give you an en- velope?"
mdp.39015018391675	Beautiful?
mdp.39015018391675	Bestial — madness — that snarl?
mdp.39015018391675	Blood on the money — her blood, or Danny's blood?
mdp.39015018391675	But if there was, why did n't she want my help?
mdp.39015018391675	But one more shot —""You think it's death?"
mdp.39015018391675	But they wanted something from me, else why bring me there — why let me live at all?
mdp.39015018391675	But was Hairy- Hands the leader?
mdp.39015018391675	But were the sobs real?
mdp.39015018391675	But what did I want with her?
mdp.39015018391675	But what good would that do?
mdp.39015018391675	But what of that?
mdp.39015018391675	But what of the girl — Milly?
mdp.39015018391675	But what of the lad upon the sidewalk?
mdp.39015018391675	But who's to handle The Beast when things are over?"
mdp.39015018391675	But why did she follow me into the hall?
mdp.39015018391675	But why had n't she pulled them before?
mdp.39015018391675	But why?
mdp.39015018391675	But would he?
mdp.39015018391675	But — Who put you wise to this joint?"
mdp.39015018391675	By ignoring Briskey's offer, had I slipped up on a real piece of change?
mdp.39015018391675	By now was he alive or dead?
mdp.39015018391675	CHAPTER XVII A RESCUE Just a coincidence that he was there?
mdp.39015018391675	Can you come to see me?"
mdp.39015018391675	Central Park?"
mdp.39015018391675	Cold?
mdp.39015018391675	Come — give it up — quick — do ya want me to smack you one?"
mdp.39015018391675	Damn my knees; was I going to cave in now?
mdp.39015018391675	Death?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I have a client or did n't I?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I hear the man's deep breath?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I hear the step?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I mean it?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I mean it?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I mean it?
mdp.39015018391675	Did I suddenly discover that I was in love — madly and blindly in love with the most beautiful woman in the world?
mdp.39015018391675	Did Milly smile?
mdp.39015018391675	Did a feeling of security and an easy indifference to danger come with this new found police protection?
mdp.39015018391675	Did eyes watch me from the heavily curtained win- dows as I mounted the front steps and stabbed the door bell?
mdp.39015018391675	Did he expect to get away with that stuff on me?
mdp.39015018391675	Did he go then?
mdp.39015018391675	Did he take me for a child?
mdp.39015018391675	Did her eyes just glisten with the brightness of youth or the thrill of battle?
mdp.39015018391675	Did n't I see him plunge to the ground before the echo of my shot had died away?
mdp.39015018391675	Did she speak to me — whisper something in my ear as her hair brushed my cheek and the smell of per- fume nearly put me under again?
mdp.39015018391675	Did she tell you why Barton Briskey visited me?"
mdp.39015018391675	Did she think for a moment that I believed such a wild yarn?
mdp.39015018391675	Did she think that I'd betray him or —?
mdp.39015018391675	Did the police watch that little alley door?
mdp.39015018391675	Did they think they could stand there and plan my death?
mdp.39015018391675	Do I make myself clear?"
mdp.39015018391675	Dramatic?
mdp.39015018391675	Dumb?
mdp.39015018391675	Empty talk?
mdp.39015018391675	Expensive, you think?
mdp.39015018391675	Foolish that I did n't open it?
mdp.39015018391675	For his sister, who already had it?
mdp.39015018391675	For what?"
mdp.39015018391675	Funny that — had the boys quit alto- gether?
mdp.39015018391675	Given half the chance — but why keep writing this?
mdp.39015018391675	Good to feel?
mdp.39015018391675	Great stuff that?
mdp.39015018391675	Gruesome to think of that at such a time?
mdp.39015018391675	Had Danny's business more than punctured arms behind it?
mdp.39015018391675	Had I discovered his presence, and if THE MAN IN THE BLACKNESS 143 I had, would I shoot?
mdp.39015018391675	Had I figured her all wrong?
mdp.39015018391675	Had I waited too long?
mdp.39015018391675	Had a tire gone flat on it and was it hard for the girl to control the wheel?
mdp.39015018391675	Had any threatening messages — or — oh, anything?"
mdp.39015018391675	Had he actually planned to trap me there — or was he trying to affect my nerves so that I'd take the money and make a deal with him?
mdp.39015018391675	Had it busted?
mdp.39015018391675	Had n't Danny said something about using that letter as a threat over their heads?
mdp.39015018391675	Had one of them seen me, taken in the situation, and was ready to protect me?
mdp.39015018391675	Had she sold out to Briskey?
mdp.39015018391675	Had some one let him know that I was on the stairs — could he have seen me from the window above?
mdp.39015018391675	Had the attack on me followed quickly upon the letter?
mdp.39015018391675	Had the cold of the winter night stilled the flow?
mdp.39015018391675	Had they been lay- ing for me on the deserted block?
mdp.39015018391675	Had they caught him?
mdp.39015018391675	Had they lost their nerve?
mdp.39015018391675	Had they trapped him as Barton Briskey said?
mdp.39015018391675	Had this girl tried, through Barton Briskey, to buy me off and failed — now would she make the attempt in person?
mdp.39015018391675	Had this youth after all made monkeys out of me?
mdp.39015018391675	Hairy- Hands — with the snarl of the beast?
mdp.39015018391675	Hard to explain, that?
mdp.39015018391675	Have n't you heard anything lately?"
mdp.39015018391675	Have you got the time for such a trip — with adequate pay?
mdp.39015018391675	How about this time?
mdp.39015018391675	How are the rest of the boys?"
mdp.39015018391675	How bad was she?
mdp.39015018391675	How could it be?
mdp.39015018391675	How could people like this be mixed up with the scum of the underworld, Barton Briskey, the wreck Danny, and — The Beast?
mdp.39015018391675	How did I know all this?
mdp.39015018391675	How did she account for her associates — how about Jake Minely beneath that window?
mdp.39015018391675	How do you know I did n't turn it over to some one who will produce it the moment anything happens to me?"
mdp.39015018391675	How many of them?"
mdp.39015018391675	How often had she played such a trick and gotten away with it?
mdp.39015018391675	How true was it?
mdp.39015018391675	How would you like to play it differently for once — play it with the whole force of the law behind you — with me behind you?"
mdp.39015018391675	I could hear her all right — and the man in the room, could he?
mdp.39015018391675	I did n't want a wreck then and what difference did it make?
mdp.39015018391675	I had placed a bullet in him before, and what good did it do me?
mdp.39015018391675	I have had charge 312 THE SNARL OF THE BEAST"Did her uncle know?"
mdp.39015018391675	I tried to peer down through those slits — did I catch a distant sparkle of wide, staring eyes?
mdp.39015018391675	If I proved a stranger to him would he drag me in for the desk sergeant to have a look at?
mdp.39015018391675	If it were true, what good would it do me at that moment?
mdp.39015018391675	If there were guards watching that house they had better shoot first and holler"who goes there?"
mdp.39015018391675	If you do n't —""If I don't — what?"
mdp.39015018391675	In other words, Race — can you go south"—he snapped his shrewd little sunken eyes at an old clock upon the mantel—"this morning?"
mdp.39015018391675	Is there more to tell?
mdp.39015018391675	It would n't kill her, and what did I owe to her?
mdp.39015018391675	It's rather unsportsmanlike, is n't it?"
mdp.39015018391675	Like a beast?
mdp.39015018391675	Look at him — do n't you understand?
mdp.39015018391675	Nerves?
mdp.39015018391675	Nothing heroic about getting a man that way?
mdp.39015018391675	Nothing new in the whole business?
mdp.39015018391675	Now — what do you say to that?"
mdp.39015018391675	Now — what?
mdp.39015018391675	Now — will he do anything for her — even if he has the chance?"
mdp.39015018391675	Now, Miss David- son,"and I put a world of sarcasm into the name,"can any one hear what I say to you — will I speak out now or let you call me back?
mdp.39015018391675	Now, what else was on his mind?
mdp.39015018391675	Now, what of Danny?
mdp.39015018391675	Now, what was he driving at?
mdp.39015018391675	Now, what would some one look for in my house at three o'clock in the morning?
mdp.39015018391675	Now, where did I fit into the picture?
mdp.39015018391675	Now, who was the judge who had so little respect for his own slumber that he would stay awake waiting to sign such a warrant?
mdp.39015018391675	On which side was the question?
mdp.39015018391675	Or had I?
mdp.39015018391675	Or was it Milly — did they have her too?
mdp.39015018391675	Or was it?
mdp.39015018391675	Or was there a tenseness about her body — a stiffness that was unnatural?
mdp.39015018391675	Or was this Ed Jackson of the weaker type, one who gloried in the dramatic and whose weak little soul was satisfied with vengeance?
mdp.39015018391675	Playing for the gallery, like the woman of the stage?
mdp.39015018391675	Poor haunted little child, eh?
mdp.39015018391675	Pretty?
mdp.39015018391675	Promised him his life if he de- livered me into their hands?
mdp.39015018391675	Put the fear of The Beast in him?
mdp.39015018391675	Rough that?
mdp.39015018391675	She trusted me now — but did I trust her?
mdp.39015018391675	Should I jump forward and fire?
mdp.39015018391675	Should I protect the girl?
mdp.39015018391675	Silent?
mdp.39015018391675	Sincerity there?
mdp.39015018391675	Strong, powerful, proof against lead?
mdp.39015018391675	Surprise?
mdp.39015018391675	Tears?
mdp.39015018391675	That was news, but what good would it do me now?
mdp.39015018391675	The dregs of the underworld were after my hide, were they?
mdp.39015018391675	The emergency squad?
mdp.39015018391675	The germ of the crook might be in her soul, but was it in her body yet?
mdp.39015018391675	The phone?
mdp.39015018391675	The show was on — would they continue with the play or ring down the curtain?
mdp.39015018391675	Theatrical?
mdp.39015018391675	Then what of the taxi driver?
mdp.39015018391675	Then what?
mdp.39015018391675	Then what?
mdp.39015018391675	Then what?
mdp.39015018391675	Then what?
mdp.39015018391675	To save the flame — or a signal?
mdp.39015018391675	To see him stretched out like that?
mdp.39015018391675	Was Briskey after all just a plain bluff?
mdp.39015018391675	Was Danny promised her free- dom to get me?
mdp.39015018391675	Was I angry at myself that I had waited so long; that I had missed seeing her face?
mdp.39015018391675	Was I fooling myself by thinking it was a cop who had remained behind?
mdp.39015018391675	Was he after all playing a part?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it a command or a request?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it a trap?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it another of Hairy- Hands'friends?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it just coincidence that he should be after me and the boy at the same time?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it just weak- ness; the environment and association of the big gray walls, or —?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it my girl of the night?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it that she thought some one might shadow her, or was it that she was just in a hurry and did n't bother about either one of the reasons?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it that the girl did n't fear the law?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it the man who had lurked across the street she feared — or did she fear me?
mdp.39015018391675	Was it the warm kiss of a woman who loves, or the cold kiss of a woman who plays?
mdp.39015018391675	Was she an amateur or just nervous?
mdp.39015018391675	Was she in danger from the man who lurked some place in that hallway?
mdp.39015018391675	Was she in my house by acci- dent?
mdp.39015018391675	Was she sending a message to me?
mdp.39015018391675	Was she simply a poor distracted girl?
mdp.39015018391675	Was the game up?
mdp.39015018391675	Was the girl lying about the letters, or was it true that she did n't trust them in my hands?
mdp.39015018391675	Was there a warning in my voice?
mdp.39015018391675	Was this a rescue party?
mdp.39015018391675	Was this the girl?
mdp.39015018391675	Well — the police wanted to drag me in, did they?
mdp.39015018391675	Were Jake Minely's words after all the ramblings of a dying man?
mdp.39015018391675	Were the gang in the car coming back?
mdp.39015018391675	Were there others in that house?
mdp.39015018391675	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015018391675	What are you go- ing to do with me?"
mdp.39015018391675	What are you to him?"
mdp.39015018391675	What did he mean that I'd come in for a pretty fortune if Danny died?
mdp.39015018391675	What did he want the money for?
mdp.39015018391675	What did you do with the bird you got under my window the night before last?"
mdp.39015018391675	What if Inspector Coglin burst in, looking for me, and the whole mess became public?
mdp.39015018391675	What is she to you?"
mdp.39015018391675	What makes you think that I have that envelope in a safe deposit box?
mdp.39015018391675	What of Benny sitting out there in the car?
mdp.39015018391675	What of a trap?
mdp.39015018391675	What of my alibi if I was questioned on that bit of shooting?
mdp.39015018391675	What of my client?
mdp.39015018391675	What of my note then?
mdp.39015018391675	What of the dead policeman?
mdp.39015018391675	What of the man who had gone in at that doorway and had n't come out?
mdp.39015018391675	What of them?"
mdp.39015018391675	What right had they to play at the game of life and death?
mdp.39015018391675	What she sold out I did n't know — but had she sold out?
mdp.39015018391675	What sort of birds were these fellows?
mdp.39015018391675	What sort of game was this?
mdp.39015018391675	What was his trouble then?
mdp.39015018391675	What was she searching for?
mdp.39015018391675	What was that?"
mdp.39015018391675	What was the use of following her?
mdp.39015018391675	What would be the caliber of the bullet found in his head?
mdp.39015018391675	What would she do to gain her liberty or protect her identity?
mdp.39015018391675	What's a ticket or two?
mdp.39015018391675	Where is Muriel Davidson?"
mdp.39015018391675	Where is he?"
mdp.39015018391675	Why are you here?"
mdp.39015018391675	Why do n't you go?"
mdp.39015018391675	Why do you think I came here to- night?"
mdp.39015018391675	Why had Barton Briskey come to me?
mdp.39015018391675	Why the desperate, repeated efforts to take my life — and at once?
mdp.39015018391675	Why was n't she glad to get it?
mdp.39015018391675	Why when I had only to step back and the mask would slip to the floor?
mdp.39015018391675	Why when it was too late?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Why?
mdp.39015018391675	Will you bring this — this man here?"
mdp.39015018391675	Will you lift that mask or will I take it off?
mdp.39015018391675	Williams?"
mdp.39015018391675	Wo n't you believe me — spare me — not lift my mask?
mdp.39015018391675	Would I drop the girl and let her take a chance on the fall?
mdp.39015018391675	Would I follow them?
mdp.39015018391675	Would I get that look?
mdp.39015018391675	Would I see him now — now that it would do no good?
mdp.39015018391675	Would that be the blonde — Milly maybe — or Inspector Coglin?
mdp.39015018391675	Would they crowd in the door or come one at a time?
mdp.39015018391675	Would they just kill me or —?
mdp.39015018391675	Would this cop know me, and if he did would it hurt or help me?
mdp.39015018391675	You had a visitor INSPECTOR COGLIN 129"Maybe you're mixed up in running him down, eh?"
mdp.39015018391675	You're sure that this is your sister and — Is she a blonde — well built?"
mdp.39015043588543	A game of Russian bank?
mdp.39015043588543	All right?
mdp.39015043588543	Alone?
mdp.39015043588543	Alone?
mdp.39015043588543	And forget them entirely the rest of the time?
mdp.39015043588543	And he could have his emotional excitements else- where? mdp.39015043588543 And how much have you lost in that time?"
mdp.39015043588543	And promises what you promise?
mdp.39015043588543	And see a secret panel in one's bedroom slide open at two in the morning and the skeleton come out of it?
mdp.39015043588543	And why, Mr. Bones, would you ask me to marry you?
mdp.39015043588543	Are n't most of us doing that sort of thing these days?
mdp.39015043588543	Are you going out into the highways and byways to gather in some wedding guests, or something of that sort?
mdp.39015043588543	But what is it, Doctor? mdp.39015043588543 But who is she?"
mdp.39015043588543	But why have n't they married, all these years?
mdp.39015043588543	But —Bing was stammering incoherently"— is all that necessary?
mdp.39015043588543	Can I help with the bookkeeping?
mdp.39015043588543	Can you drive a car?
mdp.39015043588543	Comfort,she asked abruptly,"you have often seen the skeleton, have n't you?"
mdp.39015043588543	Could you two wipe the last four hours out of your memories? mdp.39015043588543 Did I say an'thing wuz the matter?
mdp.39015043588543	Did I? mdp.39015043588543 Did you get my letter?"
mdp.39015043588543	Did you notice that it even has a few witches'win- dows left in it?
mdp.39015043588543	Did you see them again?
mdp.39015043588543	Do I really have to be serene all the time?
mdp.39015043588543	Do n't you realize how unmaidenly that would have been?
mdp.39015043588543	Do n't you remember me, Comfort? mdp.39015043588543 Do you feel any pain?"
mdp.39015043588543	Do you mind having her at the table, just this once?
mdp.39015043588543	Do you really do that? mdp.39015043588543 Do you really think so?"
mdp.39015043588543	Do you sign it?
mdp.39015043588543	Do you still want me to drive?
mdp.39015043588543	Do you?
mdp.39015043588543	Does this mean that you're not very keen on the project yourself?
mdp.39015043588543	Dutch courage?
mdp.39015043588543	Eh?
mdp.39015043588543	Ever heard of the Lord tempering the wind to the shorn lamb?
mdp.39015043588543	Getting fond of the place, are n't you?
mdp.39015043588543	Going to be home to- night?
mdp.39015043588543	Great fun, do n't you think?
mdp.39015043588543	Had n't he — known about it?
mdp.39015043588543	Handicaps?
mdp.39015043588543	Have n't you any family that will feel it?
mdp.39015043588543	Have n't you noticed that?
mdp.39015043588543	Have these appearances, as you prefer to call them, anything to do with the disap- pearances? mdp.39015043588543 Have you any idea,"she asked him,"how fascinating it is to come into possession of a house that's all yours?
mdp.39015043588543	Have you ever seen them?
mdp.39015043588543	Have you made all your summer plans?
mdp.39015043588543	Hear that, Lucy? mdp.39015043588543 Hold her hand?"
mdp.39015043588543	How about dinner out of town?
mdp.39015043588543	How about you, Mr. Vance? mdp.39015043588543 How did you finally get Haven down there?"
mdp.39015043588543	How long were they there?
mdp.39015043588543	How soon do you want us?
mdp.39015043588543	How the dickens are we going to get a line on him, or learn to love him, if he just sits there and smokes?
mdp.39015043588543	How were they dressed?
mdp.39015043588543	If she wants a rest cure why should n't she have it, even if she does n't need it? mdp.39015043588543 Is Benedict waiting in the lower hall?"
mdp.39015043588543	Is it as bad as that?
mdp.39015043588543	Is n't Benedict going to sing or dance or converse or something?
mdp.39015043588543	Is n't it? mdp.39015043588543 Is there a special story about the skeleton?
mdp.39015043588543	Is there room for her between us?
mdp.39015043588543	Is this place you speak of an Inn?
mdp.39015043588543	Just what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015043588543	My God, has the fellow no perception at all? mdp.39015043588543 No signs of murder?
mdp.39015043588543	No, but —"Then why do n't you go in with us? mdp.39015043588543 No, but —""There's nothing else you especially want to do, I take it?"
mdp.39015043588543	Not even with a French?
mdp.39015043588543	Or must I bring up some outsider from New York, who will never care for Avalon as you and I do?
mdp.39015043588543	Really?
mdp.39015043588543	Satisfied?
mdp.39015043588543	Shall I build a fire? mdp.39015043588543 Shall we go?"
mdp.39015043588543	Shall you mind having Mrs. Kirkpatrick at the table to- night?
mdp.39015043588543	Should n't he rest longer, Miss Rogers?
mdp.39015043588543	Sit here?
mdp.39015043588543	So make my outfit principally sport clothes, wo n't you, darling?
mdp.39015043588543	Sup- pose I go and pluck him like a flower and bring him up here? mdp.39015043588543 Tell me what?"
mdp.39015043588543	Then she is n't working anywhere else now?
mdp.39015043588543	Then you mean that he blurted it out — just like that? mdp.39015043588543 Thinking of living there?"
mdp.39015043588543	Tired?
mdp.39015043588543	Was n't it? mdp.39015043588543 Well, what's the decision?"
mdp.39015043588543	Well, where do you live? mdp.39015043588543 What are you going to do?"
mdp.39015043588543	What are you looking at?
mdp.39015043588543	What can that purpose be?
mdp.39015043588543	What did they look like?
mdp.39015043588543	What difference would it make if I did?
mdp.39015043588543	What do you care whether they call or not?
mdp.39015043588543	What do you do with Mary when you get there?
mdp.39015043588543	What do you think, Miss Rogers?
mdp.39015043588543	What else could I do?
mdp.39015043588543	What is there to know? mdp.39015043588543 What kind of liquors are here?"
mdp.39015043588543	What kind of men?
mdp.39015043588543	What the devil do they know about it?
mdp.39015043588543	What the devil does that mean?
mdp.39015043588543	What the devil is this all about, anyway?
mdp.39015043588543	What's that for?
mdp.39015043588543	What's the mat- ter with it? mdp.39015043588543 What's the matter with him?"
mdp.39015043588543	What's the matter?
mdp.39015043588543	What's the matter?
mdp.39015043588543	What's the story?
mdp.39015043588543	What's the use?
mdp.39015043588543	What? mdp.39015043588543 Where can she and I be alone?"
mdp.39015043588543	While I'm — what was it — a serene and steady- going wife?
mdp.39015043588543	Who am I to object to as many reputable boarders as I can get? mdp.39015043588543 Why do n't you come with us, if we go?"
mdp.39015043588543	Why do n't you have Comfort frighten away the ghosts?
mdp.39015043588543	Why do n't you tell me about it?
mdp.39015043588543	Why should it be altruism?
mdp.39015043588543	Why was that, do you suppose?
mdp.39015043588543	Would any one else work there?
mdp.39015043588543	Would you mind having them stay here if their references stand investigation Monday morning?
mdp.39015043588543	You aimin'to stay in the house alone an'do it?
mdp.39015043588543	You do n't mind, do you?
mdp.39015043588543	You infernal young idiot, do n't you know better than that?
mdp.39015043588543	You mean that you're a poet?
mdp.39015043588543	You notice a lot of things, do n't you?
mdp.39015043588543	You would n't dare touch that — or would you?
mdp.39015043588543	You'll wait here?
mdp.39015043588543	You're sure Alida will be all right now?
mdp.39015043588543	You've heard of the four disappearances, have n't you?
mdp.39015043588543	30 THETRAP"You're not staying in New York, are you?"
mdp.39015043588543	84 THETRAP 85"How be ye, Miss French?
mdp.39015043588543	Abram's off, too, is n't he?
mdp.39015043588543	After all, what did she know about this woman?
mdp.39015043588543	Ai n't I ben a man'thout no home?
mdp.39015043588543	Ai n't my son ben kep'from me an'not let know I wuz his father?
mdp.39015043588543	And all furnished, too?
mdp.39015043588543	And what — oh, what in God's name — are they trying to do to us?"
mdp.39015043588543	And, of course, there are tales of horrible sounds and shadowy shapes —""How many have disappeared?"
mdp.39015043588543	Are n't you writing a play or a book or something?"
mdp.39015043588543	Are n't you, Gene?"
mdp.39015043588543	Are you admitting that you're afraid to leave me here alone?
mdp.39015043588543	Are you, a college man, really admitting that you believe the idiotic stories about Avalon?
mdp.39015043588543	Besides, what would hooks or pegs be doing there?
mdp.39015043588543	But can you support a wife?"
mdp.39015043588543	But how did they get there?
mdp.39015043588543	But what is it?
mdp.39015043588543	But what is it?"
mdp.39015043588543	But what's the matter with putting her in the rumble seat?"
mdp.39015043588543	But will you feel up to all that so soon?
mdp.39015043588543	But, darling, how can I help speaking after what we've just gone through?
mdp.39015043588543	Ca n't you realize how much needs to be done?
mdp.39015043588543	Can he do all that?
mdp.39015043588543	Can we go into your study?"
mdp.39015043588543	Can you get in touch with Vance and tell him to come along?"
mdp.39015043588543	Can you stand that?"
mdp.39015043588543	Could you forget what Cunningham told me?"
mdp.39015043588543	Did Comfort know about this?
mdp.39015043588543	Did Vance or Benedict know the difference between the bow and the stern of a boat?
mdp.39015043588543	Did any one know about it?
mdp.39015043588543	Did he drink all that was in those empty shelves?"
mdp.39015043588543	Did n't I tell you my work was serious?
mdp.39015043588543	Did n't you see how her face changed when I spoke of her job as that of house- keeper?
mdp.39015043588543	Did you know that?"
mdp.39015043588543	Do n't you realize that there must have been dozens and dozens of searches and inquiries and investigations?
mdp.39015043588543	Do you know anything about me?"
mdp.39015043588543	Do you realize that, Miss French?
mdp.39015043588543	Do you remember the man just ahead of me that day?
mdp.39015043588543	Do you think you could get us some hot tea and toast?
mdp.39015043588543	Folks don't — don't go in the daytime, do they?"
mdp.39015043588543	Friendly?
mdp.39015043588543	Get me?"
mdp.39015043588543	Had she been absolutely frank with these new associates?
mdp.39015043588543	Have I made myself clear?"
mdp.39015043588543	Have n't you any faith at all in your resident physician and the best nurse that ever came out of the Medical Center?"
mdp.39015043588543	Have you invested your savings in an abandoned New England farm?"
mdp.39015043588543	Have you noticed that there are strong bolts on the inside of all the bedroom doors?
mdp.39015043588543	Have you plenty of blankets and bedding and mosquito- netting at Avalon?"
mdp.39015043588543	Have you seen him?"
mdp.39015043588543	How about Bing and Spring?"
mdp.39015043588543	How about forty?
mdp.39015043588543	How about having him up and looking him over?
mdp.39015043588543	How about it?"
mdp.39015043588543	How can I help it?
mdp.39015043588543	How can we talk to him when he comes back?
mdp.39015043588543	How do I know I can get any cook to work in that house?
mdp.39015043588543	How do I know how comfortable I can make you?
mdp.39015043588543	How does my suggestion strike you, Miss French?
mdp.39015043588543	How long d'y'spose'twould be a secret suller ef all the folks in this house knowed it?
mdp.39015043588543	How much am I asked for that?"
mdp.39015043588543	How near does Comfort live to Avalon now?"
mdp.39015043588543	How soon do you want the lad to call for you?
mdp.39015043588543	How soon will you be ready to leave?"
mdp.39015043588543	How the devil did it all happen?
mdp.39015043588543	If Comfort was interested would she think the matter over in the interval and give Miss French her decision when she arrived?
mdp.39015043588543	If it had really occurred, why was Comfort Folger ready to remain at Avalon and risk another such encounter?
mdp.39015043588543	If she upset the chair would n't she have picked it up — or would she?"
mdp.39015043588543	In half an hour?
mdp.39015043588543	Is n't it the loveliest thing you ever saw?
mdp.39015043588543	Is that morbid, or is it just plain silly?
mdp.39015043588543	Is the electric light on?"
mdp.39015043588543	Is the telephone working?
mdp.39015043588543	Is the water connected?
mdp.39015043588543	Moved by the contrition in the old eyes that were watch- ing her, she added impulsively,"Mrs. Tucker, may I ask you a question?"
mdp.39015043588543	My God, what real difference does it make,"he added with sudden violence,"whether I die now or fifty years from now?"
mdp.39015043588543	No blood, no stains, no new- made graves under the barn or in the cellar?
mdp.39015043588543	No charred bodies in the furnace?"
mdp.39015043588543	Oh, how could he be so cruel?"
mdp.39015043588543	Or have they developed since your Uncle Amos went?
mdp.39015043588543	Or is it New England conscience?"
mdp.39015043588543	Or was he merely bluffing?
mdp.39015043588543	Or would we?"
mdp.39015043588543	Probably she wanted — what was it she had called it? — an inventory of the licker in that, too.
mdp.39015043588543	Rather unusual, was n't it?
mdp.39015043588543	Ready, Lucy?"
mdp.39015043588543	Ready, Miss French?"
mdp.39015043588543	Ready, Miss French?"
mdp.39015043588543	So where's your problem now?"
mdp.39015043588543	Suppose she considered a young country lawyer too in- significant a suitor for her daughter?
mdp.39015043588543	Suppose she did n't like him?
mdp.39015043588543	Suppose she had big social ambitions for the girl?
mdp.39015043588543	THE TRAP 173"What do you mean by Them, Nat?
mdp.39015043588543	THE TRAP 267"What's the matter?"
mdp.39015043588543	THE TRAP 65"Difficult?
mdp.39015043588543	That peering and staring up at the house — There's no hospital or insane asylum around here, is there?"
mdp.39015043588543	That's sound, is n't it?"
mdp.39015043588543	That's understood, is n't it, Miss Rogers?"
mdp.39015043588543	Vance?"
mdp.39015043588543	Want a sleeping tablet?"
mdp.39015043588543	Was it sympathy alone?
mdp.39015043588543	Was she justified in allowing others to join her?
mdp.39015043588543	Was she justified in taking this trustful pair of strangers into the sinister atmosphere of her tragic house?
mdp.39015043588543	What are those figures?"
mdp.39015043588543	What are you going to charge us?"
mdp.39015043588543	What books have you been reading?"
mdp.39015043588543	What can we say to him?"
mdp.39015043588543	What could be better for you?
mdp.39015043588543	What does it mean?"
mdp.39015043588543	What else can I do?"
mdp.39015043588543	What had he in common with the daughter of such a bird- of- paradise?
mdp.39015043588543	What might she not do down in the square black space that confronted them?
mdp.39015043588543	What more do you want?"
mdp.39015043588543	What time do you expect to come?"
mdp.39015043588543	What was the doctor's yarn, Vance?"
mdp.39015043588543	What was the thing?
mdp.39015043588543	What's all this going to mean to her?
mdp.39015043588543	What's it all about?
mdp.39015043588543	What's she doing to yours?"
mdp.39015043588543	What's the answer?
mdp.39015043588543	Who knew what was in their heads or what plans they had made?
mdp.39015043588543	Who leaked, do you suppose?"
mdp.39015043588543	Why did you follow him that time?"
mdp.39015043588543	Why is she putting it up?
mdp.39015043588543	Why should I?
mdp.39015043588543	Why, then, was he presenting her with this ineffec- tive camouflage of social lightness?

mdp.39015043588543	Will he let me ride back in the elevator with him?"
mdp.39015043588543	Will they become more frequent?"
mdp.39015043588543	Will you attend to that?
mdp.39015043588543	Will you come next Thurs- day?
mdp.39015043588543	Will you go to sleep now?"
mdp.39015043588543	Will you look into that, too, Miss French?
mdp.39015043588543	Will you make arrangements for them, too?
mdp.39015043588543	Would she also recommend a helper and be ready to give the house a thorough cleaning?
mdp.39015043588543	Would she go mad in the interval?
mdp.39015043588543	Would the sti- fling air in that living grave keep her alive three hours or more?
mdp.39015043588543	Would you mind mentioning once more that you love me?
mdp.39015043588543	You can see the complications there, ca n't you?
mdp.39015043588543	o.k.?"
mdp.39015043588543	“ Busy? ” he asked smilingly.
mdp.39015043588543	“ Yes. ” THE TRAP 233 needs advice?
mdp.39015043588543	“ You may count on that. ” “ And you wo n't let her alienate you by some foolish- ness or selfishness or temporary neglect?"
mdp.39015000625247	A bag? mdp.39015000625247 Advice?
mdp.39015000625247	And without warning she just blew up on you?
mdp.39015000625247	And you do n't know who threw the film on the fire?
mdp.39015000625247	Are you all here, who were in the room at the time?
mdp.39015000625247	Are you leaving Taxco?
mdp.39015000625247	Arson too? mdp.39015000625247 But how did it get here? ” he rasped.
mdp.39015000625247	But if it was n't a suicide pact, the garden hose becomes a little too much of a complication, does n't it? ” asked Stevens. mdp.39015000625247 But why would they come to Taxco and pass me up like that? ” he mused.
mdp.39015000625247	Ca n't we get outside? ” asked Reevers. mdp.39015000625247 Can you tell us what she means about this buzzards and cemeteries business, Mr. Wiley? ” inquired Martindale.
mdp.39015000625247	Could I. be of some more services, señores.?
mdp.39015000625247	Could any one of them have carried it off with him?
mdp.39015000625247	Could he have drunk it immediately before, or, even, soon after you gave him the hypodermic?
mdp.39015000625247	Could we see the letter? ” asked Martindale hopefully. mdp.39015000625247 Deputy sheriff? ” he said pointedly, addressing Rogers.
mdp.39015000625247	Did n't you see anything of Mrs. Pettybone or her husband, or Doctor Fulbright?
mdp.39015000625247	Did you and Will ever really get over disliking Benton Slater for what he did to you?
mdp.39015000625247	Did you buy any silver in Taxco?
mdp.39015000625247	Did you, Miss — Miss Tatum, or did you see anybody else take it?
mdp.39015000625247	Do I get it right, Mrs. Pettybone, that you're accusing your husband of the murder of Elsie Tatum? ”Now, Amelia! ” shouted Will Pettybone.
mdp.39015000625247	Do you think his life would be in danger? ” Reevers gave a startled exclamation, then answered his own question. mdp.39015000625247 Does McBride live in California?"
mdp.39015000625247	Exactly — if Edward Durkin was the dead stranger. ” “ If he was the dead stranger? ” “ There's no proof he was. mdp.39015000625247 Fair?
mdp.39015000625247	Feeling better? ”I'll be practically well when I can feel the good old U.S.A. under me once more."
mdp.39015000625247	Fulbright? mdp.39015000625247 Have you any private suspicions that you've kept to your- self in this thing?
mdp.39015000625247	Have you been here all the time since he went to war? ” “ Yes, sir; that is, I've been in Mr. Durkin's employ con- stantly. mdp.39015000625247 Have you the slightest notion why the dead stranger might figure in these odd happenings? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	How did it happen?
mdp.39015000625247	How so? ” 110 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 111You would n't be here, if it was n't something special.
mdp.39015000625247	I did n't see how he come or how he went away, sir. ”You're sure he's the man you saw? ” said Reevers indicating the photograph.
mdp.39015000625247	I do n't know. ”Was something thrown on the fire? ”"No.
mdp.39015000625247	I do n't see how. ”Could somebody have put it in there accidentally or pur- posely?"
mdp.39015000625247	I heard it. ”Well? ” The question was challenging, but Doctor Fulbright ignored it.
mdp.39015000625247	I hope it is — ” “ Hope it is? ” Pettybone snapped. mdp.39015000625247 I — Did a Miss Tatum live at this address? ” Durkin glowered at the officer.
mdp.39015000625247	Is it possible, then, Doctor,pursued Martindale,"to have administered a lethal dose in that manner?"
mdp.39015000625247	Is n't there something written on that purse?
mdp.39015000625247	Is n't this the thing you bought in Taxco from the boy?
mdp.39015000625247	Is that the bludgeon there? ” asked Reevers, pointing to a two- foot length of new two- by- four on the window sill. mdp.39015000625247 Is this car going to Mexico City?"
mdp.39015000625247	It disappeared before the fireplace exploded. ”Well, saying it was your can of film, Professor, how would it have got into the fireplace?"
mdp.39015000625247	It kinda seems to me I have. ”How long did you say you'd worked here?"
mdp.39015000625247	It may never be completed, in which case all is well and good. ”And if it is completed? ”"I'll never know it, Hunt."
mdp.39015000625247	It would have to be, would n't it? ” “ Yes. mdp.39015000625247 It's certainly plausible. ” “ But why did n't he go ahead, then, and kill himself too, if there was a suicide pact?"
mdp.39015000625247	Just mislaid, was it, in the excitement?
mdp.39015000625247	Just what happened? ” Rogers asked. mdp.39015000625247 Just what happened?"
mdp.39015000625247	Maybe I should word it differently, ” said Martindale, “ how was it possible for him to die of morphine poisoning?
mdp.39015000625247	No, sir. ”Have you been here all the time?"
mdp.39015000625247	No?
mdp.39015000625247	Now, what happened here last night? mdp.39015000625247 Oh — that makes a difference. ”"Who's this Dan McBride they mentioned last night?
mdp.39015000625247	Picture films? ” “ Yes. ”Could one of those have got into the fireplace?"
mdp.39015000625247	Picture films? ” “ Yes. ”Could one of those have got into the fireplace?"
mdp.39015000625247	Quarreling? mdp.39015000625247 Quitting?"
mdp.39015000625247	Really? ”He obtained a tourist card at the Mexican consulate here in Los Angeles on that date."
mdp.39015000625247	See anything of Cousin Will?
mdp.39015000625247	See that, Hunt? mdp.39015000625247 Shall we go up and eat? ” We had finished the papaya before we got back to our con- versation.
mdp.39015000625247	She ate her meals here, did she? ” “ Of course, ” Dan McBride answered, after a glance at his uncle. mdp.39015000625247 Slater?
mdp.39015000625247	The dead stranger has a way of popping up in our path, has n't he, Wiley?
mdp.39015000625247	The dog? ” said Reevers with an amused smile. mdp.39015000625247 Was it you who were monkeying around the garage?"
mdp.39015000625247	Was she here for dinner last night?
mdp.39015000625247	Well — while it's all fresh in everybody's mind, why do n't we ask a few questions? mdp.39015000625247 Well, but slamming a door —"THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 141 him?
mdp.39015000625247	Well, he just told us that she was dead, did n't he? mdp.39015000625247 Well, where was everybody else, then, at this time? ” de- manded Reevers, moving ahead in the inquiry.
mdp.39015000625247	Well, why did Mrs. Fulbright's uncle bring up a possible debt I owed Slater? mdp.39015000625247 Well, ” he said, when he saw us all waiting, “ have we got to go through all this again?"
mdp.39015000625247	Well, ” interrupted Reevers with amusement,did you or did n't you?
mdp.39015000625247	Well- I might as well — what is it?
mdp.39015000625247	What I mean is, did the same person who killed Slater do this too? mdp.39015000625247 What about your luggage, sir?"
mdp.39015000625247	What are you trying to do, make a mystery of my wanting to see it again?
mdp.39015000625247	What can you tell me about this?
mdp.39015000625247	What do you make of it? ” she inquired when she had read the note. mdp.39015000625247 What do you say it is, Professor? ” Sterling asked.
mdp.39015000625247	What is it? ” he asked, taking it from me. mdp.39015000625247 What is it?"
mdp.39015000625247	What is it?
mdp.39015000625247	What kind of dream, Uncle Felix?
mdp.39015000625247	What time was that? ” McBride looked about at Canby who was standing in the back- ground. mdp.39015000625247 When and how did you get back into the house after you killed your uncle?"
mdp.39015000625247	When did you last see him, Doctor? ”About six- thirty. ”"Was he all right at the time? ”"He was.
mdp.39015000625247	When did you last see him, Doctor? ”About six- thirty. ”"Was he all right at the time? ”"He was.
mdp.39015000625247	When did you last see him?
mdp.39015000625247	When did you miss it?
mdp.39015000625247	When did you see him?
mdp.39015000625247	Where did you get it? ” The boy seemed disappointed. mdp.39015000625247 Where was he running away to; and what was he running away from? ” asked Craigie.
mdp.39015000625247	Where was it you found the body, boys? ” he demanded. mdp.39015000625247 Where was the body, outside the car?"
mdp.39015000625247	Which of you gentlemen is Mr. Durkin? ” one of the figures asked. mdp.39015000625247 Which, Mrs. Fulbright?
mdp.39015000625247	Why did Slater and Miss Tatum go down there?
mdp.39015000625247	Why did she die?
mdp.39015000625247	Why did you all go to Mexico? ”Me? ” responded Durkin.
mdp.39015000625247	Why did you all go to Mexico? ”Me? ” responded Durkin.
mdp.39015000625247	Why did you want to see the first reel again?
mdp.39015000625247	Why do you say that, sir?
mdp.39015000625247	Why do you say that? ” asked Doctor Fulbright. mdp.39015000625247 Why does anybody ever want to kill anybody else? ” “ Looked rather bad for a while for Pettybone. ”"I ca n't think Will did it.
mdp.39015000625247	Why the figure three? ” There was no reply. mdp.39015000625247 Why the inquiry?"
mdp.39015000625247	Why would n't I? mdp.39015000625247 Why would she use that particular symbol for a signature, though?
mdp.39015000625247	Why, recently, I think. ”Did you ever know Mr. Durkin's son, who was killed over- seas? ” “ No, I never did.
mdp.39015000625247	Would Elsie Tatum have time to do it while the house was on fire?
mdp.39015000625247	Yeah? mdp.39015000625247 Yes, sir. ”"By the way, Canby,"Rogers asked,"did you see Miss Tatum write a note while the fire was being fought? ”"No, sir.
mdp.39015000625247	Yes? ” A look of curiosity was in Rogers'eyes. mdp.39015000625247 Yes? ” The blond young woman on the bench beside her brother sat up a little straighter.
mdp.39015000625247	Yes? ”Is there any particular person whom you suspect?"
mdp.39015000625247	Yes? ”Is there any particular person whom you suspect?"
mdp.39015000625247	You did n't by any chance see him in Mexico?
mdp.39015000625247	You did n't happen to be listening to the news broadcast just now, did you, Wiley? ” There was a portent of evil in his abrupt question. mdp.39015000625247 You did n't happen to see Benton Slater in Mazatlán?
mdp.39015000625247	You did n't see Edward Durkin while you were in Mexico? ” McBride's dark eyes were fixed upon Rogers. mdp.39015000625247 You mean on our last trip?
mdp.39015000625247	You mean that things are working out? mdp.39015000625247 You saw the funeral, did n't you, Professor? ” a woman's voice inquired.
mdp.39015000625247	You see what I mean when I say you make it hard for me? mdp.39015000625247 You'd almost have to have medical knowledge in order to know that, eh, Ful- bright? ”"Oh, I do n't know,"the doctor flared.
mdp.39015000625247	You're acquainted with him, then?
mdp.39015000625247	You're staying for dinner? ” I asked. mdp.39015000625247 You're sure you put it on the mantel? ” “ Yes, sir."
mdp.39015000625247	'”"When was that? ”"Oh, that was some little time before the fire.
mdp.39015000625247	... You did?
mdp.39015000625247	1 —""What were you going to say?"
mdp.39015000625247	132 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER “ Do n't you think you'd better ask for a police guard, Mr. Durkin, until this thing is straightened out?"
mdp.39015000625247	15 16 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER"Has n't the breakfast bell rung yet? ”"No."
mdp.39015000625247	50 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER each other at Taxco, although we all stopped at the Telva. ” “ Are the —?"
mdp.39015000625247	A fellow who'd kill Slater would n't be above trying to burn me out, would he?"
mdp.39015000625247	Am I right? ” Rogers'face was solemn, and he replied seriously.
mdp.39015000625247	And I'll tell you the news. ”"News?"
mdp.39015000625247	And how was anybody going to make certain of those facts now?
mdp.39015000625247	And never came back. ” “ Chauffeur?
mdp.39015000625247	And now, let's ask a few questions — But, first where's the envelope the note came in, Mr. Wiley?
mdp.39015000625247	And the other three cars were in the garage all evening after Miss Tatum drove away? ” “ Yes, sir."
mdp.39015000625247	And then later you wrote a note to that person saying,'Why did you do it?'
mdp.39015000625247	And then realized that she had to kill him to shut him up?"
mdp.39015000625247	And was Canby right in his timing?
mdp.39015000625247	And what you said about the dead stranger?
mdp.39015000625247	And when?
mdp.39015000625247	And why should she recall the conversation about buzzards and cemeteries?
mdp.39015000625247	And you remember the little cemetery on the hill below the Rancho Telva?
mdp.39015000625247	And you're not a painter, are you? ” THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 23 the coffin maker had given it to him.
mdp.39015000625247	Any notion at all who it might be?"
mdp.39015000625247	Anything new in the case? ” He sat down on the edge of the bench.
mdp.39015000625247	Anything serious?"
mdp.39015000625247	At eleven o'clock?"
mdp.39015000625247	But I knew him and knew what his moods portended. ” “ Did n't he give any inkling at all, Will? ” asked Dan McBride.
mdp.39015000625247	But if he were going to kill his uncle for his money, why kill Slater and Elsie Tatum before he got around to his uncle?
mdp.39015000625247	But the butler was n't, of course, in on the Slater angle, was he?
mdp.39015000625247	But the figure'3? —?"
mdp.39015000625247	But the figure'3? —?"
mdp.39015000625247	But the folks at home, say, in Xalitla or Chilpancingo, or Cuernavaca — if that's where he came from — will they ever know?
mdp.39015000625247	But this time it was different. ”"Who else left the house?
mdp.39015000625247	But was she?
mdp.39015000625247	But what difference would that make? ” “ That's what puzzles me.
mdp.39015000625247	But what do you think?
mdp.39015000625247	But who was this person?
mdp.39015000625247	But who would do it, and why? ” Durkin's voice rose testily.
mdp.39015000625247	But why did Will Pettybone lie about that scratch? ”"Did you know that too?"
mdp.39015000625247	But why did Will Pettybone lie about that scratch? ”"Did you know that too?"
mdp.39015000625247	But why not the police, or Huntoon Rogers?
mdp.39015000625247	But you find yourself asking the question: Why, if he were in Taxco, did n't he go to see his father? ”"Perhaps he did n't know he was there."
mdp.39015000625247	Ca n't find it anyhow. ”"Just walked off, eh? ”"You might say that.
mdp.39015000625247	Coming?"
mdp.39015000625247	Could he have taken it by mistake?"
mdp.39015000625247	Could n't Mrs. Pettybone have killed him before the police picked her up?
mdp.39015000625247	Could n't it have been a kidnap, attack, robbery, or what have you?
mdp.39015000625247	Could n't she have waylaid her uncle?
mdp.39015000625247	Could she have written the note- having seen the person in the act of throwing the film into the fire, and thereby sealing her own doom, so to speak?"
mdp.39015000625247	Did all this take half an hour?
mdp.39015000625247	Did n't you get mad at him and throw your bag of knitting at him?"
mdp.39015000625247	Did n't you owe Slater a lot of money?"
mdp.39015000625247	Did she see him?"
mdp.39015000625247	Did somebody suspect that there was more behind the destruction of the film than was apparent on the surface, or was in the minds of most of us?
mdp.39015000625247	Did that dis- appear too?"
mdp.39015000625247	Did the fire burn you? ” Miss Tatum's voice held a flutter of hysteria, then calmed down instantly.
mdp.39015000625247	Did you get that, Fulbright? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015000625247	Did you notice near the plaza a crowd of people and a dead man lying on the ground? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015000625247	Do n't you feel well? ” Petty- bone's voice penetrated my odd confusion.
mdp.39015000625247	Do you mind sharing it?"
mdp.39015000625247	Do you sup- pose she told her suspicions to Felix Durkin? ”"I wonder.
mdp.39015000625247	Doctor Fulbright, how about it?
mdp.39015000625247	Does anybody recognize the handwriting as Miss Tatum's? ” He offered the envelope generally to us.
mdp.39015000625247	Does it suggest anything?"
mdp.39015000625247	Durkin?"
mdp.39015000625247	Durkin?"
mdp.39015000625247	Durkin?"
mdp.39015000625247	Durkin?"
mdp.39015000625247	Especially after the news that Edward Durkin was alive comes out, as it will?
mdp.39015000625247	First, however,"he walked to her side,"did you ever see this piece of silver before?"
mdp.39015000625247	For we had been talking of Cousin Felix-""Oh, you had, had you? ” said Felix Durkin sarcastically.
mdp.39015000625247	Get me?"
mdp.39015000625247	Going through?"
mdp.39015000625247	Had I shared a drink of tequila with him somewhere sometime at a bar in a home where there was a red tile floor and rattan furniture?
mdp.39015000625247	Had she made a memo about a sub- scription, or had she written the note which I now had in my pocket?
mdp.39015000625247	Have you got any friends or acquaint- ances left?
mdp.39015000625247	He had n't been to Los Angeles for a long time, had you, Pancho? ” “ No, sir, ” the Pullman porter answer with a toothy smile.
mdp.39015000625247	He opened a desk drawer and 106 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER “ Was n't an attempted assault, was it?"
mdp.39015000625247	He said,'Remember this, Giles?
mdp.39015000625247	He went away to war, then. ” “ Never seen him since?"
mdp.39015000625247	He would n't want anybody to know what he was doing, would he?"
mdp.39015000625247	He's on the train now; but they had to bring him to the station in an ambulance. ”"Why?
mdp.39015000625247	His plans were all right, but they went sour; the victim put up a scrap, and he had to shoot her. ”"Well, then, whose gun is it?"
mdp.39015000625247	How are you, Sterling?"
mdp.39015000625247	How come?"
mdp.39015000625247	How could the deceased get hold of enough morphine to kill himself?
mdp.39015000625247	How far did you go down the road?
mdp.39015000625247	How long did you search?"
mdp.39015000625247	How long have you been the gardener? ” Rogers asked.
mdp.39015000625247	How many cars have you got here? ” This multiple question made Julius blink.
mdp.39015000625247	How many more of you know something- oh, you may not know you know it — which may endanger your own lives?
mdp.39015000625247	How would I do errands?
mdp.39015000625247	How's this one shaping up?"
mdp.39015000625247	How?
mdp.39015000625247	How?"
mdp.39015000625247	I do n't know why he wants to lie, though. ”"Lie?"
mdp.39015000625247	I happened to be there""Oh, is that the fellow?
mdp.39015000625247	I know I did. ”"At about the time in question, Mr. McBride? ”"No; earlier.
mdp.39015000625247	I left here the twenty- fifth of January. ” “ Did you hear any rumors when you returned affecting Ed- ward Durkin? ”"Why, no.
mdp.39015000625247	I like to argue with him. ” “ Off so soon? ” Miss Tatum said, shaking hands.
mdp.39015000625247	I mean, did anybody else from the house follow her in a car?
mdp.39015000625247	I never drank a tequila cocktail with one in my life. ” “ Odd, is n't it?"
mdp.39015000625247	I stopped at their place for a cocktail on my way home. ”"Why would he say what he did, then? ” Dan McBride shrugged his shoulders.
mdp.39015000625247	I'd naturally have enjoyed seeing it again. ” “ And that was the only reason? ”"Yes, ” snapped Durkin.
mdp.39015000625247	I'm Huntoon Rogers, ”"Rogers?
mdp.39015000625247	I've got a hunch that this thing is all hooked together somehow —""Hooked together? ” said Felix Durkin with a dry cackle.
mdp.39015000625247	If anything happened on the road while I was out, I did n't see it. ” “ Where was the dog, when you finally found him?"
mdp.39015000625247	If there's anything I can do to help, you just let me know. ” 21"What's the matter, Mr. Wiley?
mdp.39015000625247	Imagine that! ” “ What's Doctor Fulbright got to do with it? ” Rogers asked.
mdp.39015000625247	In the car coiled —? ” Rogers was curious too.
mdp.39015000625247	In the excitement when the report came of Miss Tatum's death, you took the opportunity to conceal the note in your purse, is that it?"
mdp.39015000625247	Is Dan on the train? ” This fact only added to her aston- ishment.
mdp.39015000625247	Is any- body ever a stranger?
mdp.39015000625247	Is he?"
mdp.39015000625247	Is it a private car?
mdp.39015000625247	Is it all right with you, Mr. Durkin? ” “ All right?
mdp.39015000625247	Is it all right with you, Mr. Durkin? ” “ All right?
mdp.39015000625247	Is that right, Wiley?"
mdp.39015000625247	Is there a chauffeur?
mdp.39015000625247	Is there or not any other family of Durkins here in this vicinity?"
mdp.39015000625247	It was in the papers —""You were away some time in January or February? ”"I lost my sister who lived back East.
mdp.39015000625247	It's THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 149 enough to let me tell my own story? ” Pettybone's voice was angry.
mdp.39015000625247	It's never locked up —"“ That's very true, Mrs. Pettybone, but,""And why would n't they take our hose?
mdp.39015000625247	Killed overseas. ” “ You knew him, then, did you? ”"Yes, sir."
mdp.39015000625247	Let'er burn! ” “ Has anybody called the fire department?"
mdp.39015000625247	Let's go find out. ” “ Where do we go?"
mdp.39015000625247	Like to go along?
mdp.39015000625247	McBride?"
mdp.39015000625247	Mrs. Giles told me one time that his boy being killed in the war had hit him awful hard. ” “ Did you know the boy? ” Rogers inquired.
mdp.39015000625247	Nervous, upset, or jovial — or what?"
mdp.39015000625247	On the other hand, though, did it eliminate Petty- bone?
mdp.39015000625247	Or do you know? ” “ She saw the body on the street.
mdp.39015000625247	Pettybone, ” Rogers began, “ may I ask you a question?"
mdp.39015000625247	Pettybone?"
mdp.39015000625247	Remem- ber the Janeway case in Bel- Air?"
mdp.39015000625247	Rogers said: “ It's quite possible, yes, but, What were you going to say, Doctor Fulbright? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	Say it, then where do we go? ”"You immediately think of relatives who will inherit.
mdp.39015000625247	She could n't come with me. ” “ Really?
mdp.39015000625247	She was sharp. ”"And how did you manage to give Slater that morphine? ” de- manded Fulbright.
mdp.39015000625247	She —""What's happened? ” asked Marian Fulbright in a strange voice.
mdp.39015000625247	She's been in his employ a great many years. ”"You heard the inquiry, Canby; do you have any ideas about who killed Benton Slater?"
mdp.39015000625247	She's coming down from up this way, see?
mdp.39015000625247	Since I did n't find Amelia about the place, I wondered if perhaps she had gone up to Durkin's. ” “ Why Durkin's?
mdp.39015000625247	Slater?"
mdp.39015000625247	So what difference does it make?"
mdp.39015000625247	So what do I do? ”"I would n't do anything if I were in your situation.
mdp.39015000625247	So what?
mdp.39015000625247	Some damn fool thought he'd play a practical joke on me. ”"Who would he be?"
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 153 about it except what Julius tells me. ”"You do the gardening here and at the Pettybones'too? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 177"Obviously that's what the burner of the film feared; Felix Durkin was the whom, but who is the who?"
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 185"What day did you cross the border going to Mexico?".
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 35 would they be down here for? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 59 “ Just who are you hitting at, Mel?"
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 77 Who else of the crowd, so to speak, saw it?"
mdp.39015000625247	THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 81"You say the housekeeper has been there a long time?"
mdp.39015000625247	That would not be un- usual, but what was odd was that he was making rather violent sounds"“ What kind of sounds?
mdp.39015000625247	That's how, I suppose, you gave it to him?
mdp.39015000625247	That's the part that is n't the dream. ”"And, therefore, you have a feeling that you knew him?"
mdp.39015000625247	The message was brief, and began without a salutation:"Do you remember the conversation in Taxco about buzzards and cemeteries?
mdp.39015000625247	The note did n't say, “ Did you do it?"
mdp.39015000625247	They say a car on the Acapulco road must have killed him. ” “ But what will they do?
mdp.39015000625247	They were these:"Why did you do it?"
mdp.39015000625247	Vitamin pills, was n't it, that they all got to swallowing?
mdp.39015000625247	Was Elsie Tatum lying?
mdp.39015000625247	Was I never to be rid of that scene of the dead stranger on the stone cobbled street of Taxco?
mdp.39015000625247	Was it to shield somebody, or later to blackmail him?
mdp.39015000625247	We'll get that tomorrow. ”"Was?"
mdp.39015000625247	What can you tell us about him- he'd be your cousin, would n't he?"
mdp.39015000625247	What did she do last night?
mdp.39015000625247	What else happened?"
mdp.39015000625247	What happened?
mdp.39015000625247	What is it, Canby? ”"Just this, sir.
mdp.39015000625247	What is it?"
mdp.39015000625247	What kind of advice?"
mdp.39015000625247	What time?"
mdp.39015000625247	What was her manner?
mdp.39015000625247	What was so important? ” “ Oh, that!
mdp.39015000625247	What was your idea? ” “ It was just an idea that did n't work out.
mdp.39015000625247	What's it all about? ” He addressed his remarks to Rogers, his broad dark face beaming as he spoke.
mdp.39015000625247	What's that got to do with it all? ” “ I wish I knew, Patsy.
mdp.39015000625247	What's that, Jack? ” Sterling pointed with the rays of his flashlight at something under the shovel.
mdp.39015000625247	What's the motive back of Slater's death?
mdp.39015000625247	What's up?"
mdp.39015000625247	When in Mexico? ” Her eyes widened a trifle.
mdp.39015000625247	When is then?
mdp.39015000625247	When was that? ” “ About sundown.
mdp.39015000625247	Where are you? ”"Home again.
mdp.39015000625247	Where were you others? ” 142 144 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER"Would you accept this as proof, sir, of Mr. McBride's state- ment? ” asked Canby.
mdp.39015000625247	Where were you others? ” 142 144 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER"Would you accept this as proof, sir, of Mr. McBride's state- ment? ” asked Canby.
mdp.39015000625247	Where's he now?
mdp.39015000625247	Where's his luggage? ” “ In the upper."
mdp.39015000625247	Which is it? ”"No,"she said quietly, a faint smile on her lips.
mdp.39015000625247	Who could have killed him, except the doctor?
mdp.39015000625247	Who do you think did it, Reevers? ” He turned an inquiring glance upon the detective.
mdp.39015000625247	Who else? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	Who had it last?"
mdp.39015000625247	Who is he?"
mdp.39015000625247	Who said anything about quarreling, Marian?
mdp.39015000625247	Who was the man who got killed, Hunt?"
mdp.39015000625247	Who's got some information?
mdp.39015000625247	Who's he?"
mdp.39015000625247	Why ca n't you be more careful in your statements —?".
mdp.39015000625247	Why do n't I come out with the truth?
mdp.39015000625247	Why does n't somebody accuse Durkin?
mdp.39015000625247	Why had she done that?
mdp.39015000625247	Why not Dan McBride?"
mdp.39015000625247	Why was Durkin in such a nervous state on the train?
mdp.39015000625247	Why would I recognize him? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	Why would I want to kill him? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	Why, there- fore, should there arise out of that incident a train of events affecting our lives?
mdp.39015000625247	Why? ”"Was he driving?"
mdp.39015000625247	Why? ”"Was he driving?"
mdp.39015000625247	Why?"
mdp.39015000625247	Why?"
mdp.39015000625247	Wiley?"
mdp.39015000625247	Wiley?"
mdp.39015000625247	Wiley?"
mdp.39015000625247	Wiley?".
mdp.39015000625247	Will noticed. ” 184 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER"Did you recognize the dead man? ”"Recognize him? ” The doctor's voice rose oddly.
mdp.39015000625247	Will noticed. ” 184 THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER"Did you recognize the dead man? ”"Recognize him? ” The doctor's voice rose oddly.
mdp.39015000625247	Would n't you say so, Hunt?"
mdp.39015000625247	You did n't see Canby going around the turn in THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 197 the upper hall just as you topped the stairs, did you?"
mdp.39015000625247	You did n't see me go out? ” “ No, but I heard you out whistling for Sparky."
mdp.39015000625247	You have n't been off the place?"
mdp.39015000625247	You knew her? ” “ She was the kind who would put up a scrap."
mdp.39015000625247	You know him, do n't you, Hunt? ” “ I've heard you speak of him; I have n't met him. ”"He's coming down from Los Angeles.
mdp.39015000625247	You mean yelling and calling out?"
mdp.39015000625247	asked Martindale, “ his or hers? ” Sergeant Craigie lifted the gun from the desk and looked at it closely.
mdp.39015000625247	·"What is it? ” Sterling inquired.
mdp.39015000625247	‘ About Durkin family matters?'
mdp.39015000625247	“ A lot of money?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Also, why not Pettybone, or Doctor Fulbright, and/or their respective wives?
mdp.39015000625247	“ And he does n't like the niece?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ And now who else knows where he was? ”"I was at home in bed reading,"said Marian Fulbright promptly.
mdp.39015000625247	“ And you did n't see him while you were in Mexico recently?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ And you did n't write the note? ”"No."
mdp.39015000625247	“ And you never saw the boy himself? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	“ And, now, Mr. Pettybone, ” inquired Martindale,"can you give us any information?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Are you Professor Huntoon Rogers? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you remember me?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Are you Professor Huntoon Rogers? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you remember me?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Are you all right, darling? ” he inquired solicitously.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Are you hurt, Canby?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Became mysterious?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Business matters. ”"Is it pertinent to the inquiry what that business was? ”"I do n't think so.
mdp.39015000625247	“ But what if it is n't yours, dear? ” said Marian.
mdp.39015000625247	“ But why the garden hose? ” Martindale pressed.
mdp.39015000625247	“ But why would it be put in deliberately?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ But why would that reel of film be thrown into the fireplace?
mdp.39015000625247	“ But you did n't live here then. ”"Live here then?
mdp.39015000625247	“ But, why not let Professor Rogers do the worrying?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Buzzards and ceme- teries? ”"Yes,"I answered the young woman.
mdp.39015000625247	“ By any chance did you ever happen to know Dan McBride — his nephew?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ By any chance, Pedro, ” asked Rogers,"did the coffin maker say where the silver came from?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Dan McBride?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Dan is your nephew?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Desperately? ” Our doorbell rang, and Patsy went to see what was wanted at this late hour, for it was nearly ten o'clock.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did Elsie see the dead stranger, Wiley?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did Fulbright kill this fellow Slater?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did he seem all right, then? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did n't I tell you that Slater's my lawyer?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did n't he drive you pretty hard in that real estate develop- ment that went flooey several years back?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did she have a sweetheart, though?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did the government send it back to Felix?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did we? ” She turned to the Fulbrights.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did you ever know an Edward Durkin, son of Felix Durkin?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did you know him? ” Rogers'blue eyes were intent upon mine.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did you put that note in my purse, Dan?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did you see the dead man's face? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Did you see your brother in Guadalajara?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do n't you remember the dead stranger, Professor?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do n't you think, Bent, that the boss has been more so lately?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you know what you're hinting?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you mean- she's dead? ” “ Yes, lady."
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you mind?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you remember how the buzzards fly all day over Taxco?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you remember the patio of the hotel, Mr. Wiley? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you see any short cuts to this thing yet, Professor?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you suspect anyone? ”.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Do you think it has anything to do with the murder of Mr. Slater? ” I have no way of knowing that.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Does Mr. Durkin live in Los Angeles? ” “ In Brentwood — not far from Santa Monica."
mdp.39015000625247	“ Does a name or the circumstance of some meeting back home with a person resembling the dead stranger occur to you?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Does anybody know anything of her actions after dinner?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Does it suggest anything further?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Does that strike you that the murder wagon is beginning to roll?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Ever see that man? ” Rogers asked.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Forget something? ” Elsie Tatum asked.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Going far? ” THE AFFAIR OF THE DEAD STRANGER 31 plained.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Going to call the kettle black, are you, Fulbright?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Have a nap?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ He never came back while you were here? ” The butler shook his head.
mdp.39015000625247	“ How did it get started?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ How do you mean kept it up?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ How does it happen, though, that you did n't ask Mr. McBride to help in the search for his uncle?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ How else would it have been taken?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ How long had you been sitting in the room before it happened?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ How should I know? ” Durkin replied sourly.
mdp.39015000625247	“ How so, Doctor?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ How's the hand? ” Rogers asked.
mdp.39015000625247	“ I had a nice visit with him. ”"By the way, did you know that Mr. Durkin is on the train?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ I hope not —""You always seem to bust right into the middle of these things, do n't you, Professor? ” said Frankie Peters.
mdp.39015000625247	“ I know what you're going to ask: are the Pettybones anathema to Uncle Felix too?
mdp.39015000625247	“ I mean about my angle of it?
mdp.39015000625247	“ I mean did he whistle and call continuously, while you were outside looking for Mrs. Pettybone, or just once in a while?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Is another one of your cases starting? ” Rogers laughed.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Is it-?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Is n't he here yet?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Is n't there a patio?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Is n't who here yet, Mel? ” Will Petty bone called out.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Is this Frankie Peters with you? ” “ Yes, I'm Peters,"replied the other.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Kept it up, did he?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Late? ” scoffed Felix Durkin, glancing at the grandfather clock as we stood about in the hall.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Let me see — January thirty- first. ” “ If Edward Durkin had been on that train would you have seen him?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Look anything like a Mexican?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Mexican?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Mexico?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Mine's in there. ”"Is your statement susceptible to proof? ” asked Durkin slyly.
mdp.39015000625247	“ More so, Elsie?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ No, not once. ”"Did you mention it to him, either? ”"No."
mdp.39015000625247	“ Not for a very long time. ”"You were on Pancho's car coming up from Mexico, were n't you? ” asked Stevens pointedly.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Now, who took it off of there? ” The officer glared about the library at the persons gathered.
mdp.39015000625247	“ On the front steps waiting for me to let him in. ” “ And, now, all your cards are on the table, Doctor?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Police?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Practically that. ”"Practically?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Remember the murder case over in Bel- Air — movie writer, she was?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Since all the men of the family are involved, except him?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Somebody stole the other one. ”"When was that?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Something, is it?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Still working on the Slater case? ” I inquired.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Strange?
mdp.39015000625247	“ That settles that, then, does n't it? ”"It's perfect — if we can prove the signature.
mdp.39015000625247	“ That was Elsie Tatum trying to telephone me. ” “ Yes, but what does she mean'buzzards and cemeteries'?
mdp.39015000625247	“ That's the man who died, is n't it? ” inquired Deputy Mar- tindale's voice in the darkness.
mdp.39015000625247	“ The first night on the train out of Mazatlán. ”"Rifled your kit, did they?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ The next morning. ”"Is this your syringe?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ The note, ” I said,"from Miss Tatum. ” “ Have n't you got it?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Then what happened? ” “ I went to bed, sir.
mdp.39015000625247	“ There's no chance, is there,"asked Dan McBride anxiously,"that he got it accidentally? ” “ How?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ There's no chance, is there,"asked Dan McBride anxiously,"that he got it accidentally? ” “ How?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Things are moving along, are n't they?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ This fellow — the dead stranger- was hit by an automobile on the highway, so what difference does it make?
mdp.39015000625247	“ This may be a digression, Canby, but tell me, when Mr. Durkin is away in Mexico, does the household keep going just as though he were there?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Too?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ We ai n't figured that out yet, Sheriff. ”"Just where was it?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Well, any grist from the mill? ”"Not much, Wiley.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What about this Tatum woman the hose, I mean?
mdp.39015000625247	“ What do I know? ” he repeated, leaning forward and knock- ing the ash from his cigarette.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What do you mean, Mel? ” Will Pettybone's voice was cau- tious.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What does he look like? ”"He's young- about thirty; quite dark of complexion.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What else could it be? ” Durkin's voice was sharp.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What else?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ What for?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ What happened? ” he asked when he had sorted Durkin from among us as the owner.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What was in the bag? ”"We do n't know.
mdp.39015000625247	“ What would he have on his mind, Will?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ What's Taxco got to do with it, and who died in Taxco?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Who was she?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Why bring it up?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Why did n't Elsie Tatum recognize the dead stranger? ”| asked.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Why do you have to say that, Will?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Why not?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Why say that?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Why would it blow up like that?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Wo n't you have a glass of beer with me?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes, from Nogales. ” “ What's he doin'here, if it's any of our business?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes, sir, Mr. Wiley; I realize that. ” “ How's everything over at the Durkins'? ” Roger inquired.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes, why not? ” he answered thoughtfully.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes, ” Mrs. Giles answered, “ that, or one just like it. ”"When did you last see it? ”"The day Edward Durkin went to war."
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes?
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes? ” The doctor faced about.
mdp.39015000625247	“ Yes?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ You did n't go out to look around, did you?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ You do n't happen to know of another Edward Durkin, do you?
mdp.39015000625247	“ You gave him a drink of water? ” stressed the deputy, his bright eyes looking at me curiously.
mdp.39015000625247	“ You mean all the time, every minute?
mdp.39015000625247	“ You mean deliberately?"
mdp.39015000625247	“ You think the fire was an ac- cident- or something else? ” Evidently he had been talking to the fire chief.
mdp.39015000625247	“ You were looking for one of your reels of film, were n't you?"
mdp.39015011958959	'Least of all a woman?' mdp.39015011958959 -"Yo'ca n't?"
mdp.39015011958959	A man, Trant? mdp.39015011958959 A premonition, Gordon?"
mdp.39015011958959	Able to, Trant?
mdp.39015011958959	After the way the papers treated you and Isabel when you married? mdp.39015011958959 Ain'yo'sorry for him, Miss Iris?"
mdp.39015011958959	An accident?
mdp.39015011958959	An'the papers? mdp.39015011958959 And Caylis — what did he never read?"
mdp.39015011958959	And Landers?
mdp.39015011958959	And Mr. Murray? mdp.39015011958959 And did she also break off this brass knob which was used in sliding the door back and forth, or had that been done previously?"
mdp.39015011958959	And he has come to gain his estate in that way?
mdp.39015011958959	And her father, the dock superintendent — how much?
mdp.39015011958959	And it would not necessarily entail calling in the police? mdp.39015011958959 And ruined his own son, Mr. Trant?
mdp.39015011958959	And the other half within the week, I suppose, Taint?
mdp.39015011958959	And then?
mdp.39015011958959	And there was no one else with Mr. Axton, except THE AXTON LETTERS 297 his friend Lawler who, you say, was drowned in a wreck?
mdp.39015011958959	And therefore was present, though not mentioned, at Cairo, Calcutta and Cape Town?
mdp.39015011958959	And they found no other marks or indications of the person's presence except those you have men- tioned?
mdp.39015011958959	And what do you want me to do?
mdp.39015011958959	And what has brought you here, from your phrenology?
mdp.39015011958959	And what is it possible that I could tell to save young Jim?
mdp.39015011958959	And what is this you have made her say?
mdp.39015011958959	And you will have two or three scientists present to watch the experiments? mdp.39015011958959 Anything else?"
mdp.39015011958959	Are they?
mdp.39015011958959	Are you a madman?
mdp.39015011958959	As a secret agent for the Government?
mdp.39015011958959	As they stopped Landers?
mdp.39015011958959	Before you went motoring, Mrs. Eldredge,the psychologist pressed,"what happened?"
mdp.39015011958959	But he would be interested in them?
mdp.39015011958959	But his letters were all merely personal — like these letters you have given me?
mdp.39015011958959	But how could he have known — if she shot him — that she was going to kill him just at eleven?
mdp.39015011958959	But in spite of its excited character, your mother THE CHALCHIHUITL STONE 195 could be sure it was the voice of a stranger?
mdp.39015011958959	But no more screams?
mdp.39015011958959	But she does n't look big and dark to you now, does she?
mdp.39015011958959	But tell me first,he demanded,"how did the boy come to be taken out of the park?
mdp.39015011958959	But the fact of the catch would not be evident from outside — it would be known only to some one familiar with the premises?
mdp.39015011958959	But the screams were still going on?
mdp.39015011958959	But what else can we do?
mdp.39015011958959	But what is he doing? mdp.39015011958959 But you know him, do you not?
mdp.39015011958959	But you think it's him?
mdp.39015011958959	But you were not engaged to him until just the week before his death?
mdp.39015011958959	But your sister knew nothing of this?
mdp.39015011958959	But — who laid Lawrie there?
mdp.39015011958959	Can I THE AXTON LETTERS 317 tell you who he is? mdp.39015011958959 Can not you proceed, Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	Can she see Iris last Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock?
mdp.39015011958959	Can you describe him?
mdp.39015011958959	Cause?
mdp.39015011958959	Cheating here under my direction?
mdp.39015011958959	Clearly?
mdp.39015011958959	Commence, Captain Crowley?
mdp.39015011958959	Confession?
mdp.39015011958959	Dead? mdp.39015011958959 Did n't you see how she shut up when she saw me?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do I know him?
mdp.39015011958959	Do n't you think it's a bit premature,the psy- chologist suggested,"to assume that she killed him?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do n't? mdp.39015011958959 Do they mean nothing to you?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do you know an American named Paul Tobin, Wong Bo?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you know that man, Wong Bo?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you mean by that that you have reason to believe a woman did it?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you mean me to understand that your brother shot Tyler?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you mean the miners live in the cabin and carried him in there after he was shot?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you mean, Trant, that you think Mar- garet knows anything of the loss of this money? mdp.39015011958959 Do you mean,"she looked up quickly,"that you bring me news instead of coming to ask it?"
mdp.39015011958959	Does Isabella know of Iris Pierce?
mdp.39015011958959	Dr. Pierce, were you exact in saying a moment ago that your ward, since she has been in your care, has exhibited no peculiarities? mdp.39015011958959 Enoch Findlay help me?"
mdp.39015011958959	Findlay?
mdp.39015011958959	For why should I tell him about them? mdp.39015011958959 From Boston?"
mdp.39015011958959	Guilty associations?
mdp.39015011958959	Hallucinations?
mdp.39015011958959	Harrison?
mdp.39015011958959	Harrison?
mdp.39015011958959	Has she the'mark of the devil's claw'?
mdp.39015011958959	He chose Caylis, Sweeny, did you hear that?
mdp.39015011958959	He said that to you when he was absorbed?
mdp.39015011958959	He was?
mdp.39015011958959	He?
mdp.39015011958959	Her evidence confirmed?
mdp.39015011958959	Hot work?
mdp.39015011958959	How did you guess that? mdp.39015011958959 How did you know that?"
mdp.39015011958959	How do you know that?
mdp.39015011958959	How do you know the man who shot him stood by the outer door?
mdp.39015011958959	How else can it be? mdp.39015011958959 How impossible?"
mdp.39015011958959	How old is Isabella?
mdp.39015011958959	How old is she?
mdp.39015011958959	How, Steve? mdp.39015011958959 How?
mdp.39015011958959	Howard Axton?
mdp.39015011958959	Hugh Larkin, Wong Bo?
mdp.39015011958959	In Central America, Dr. Pierce?
mdp.39015011958959	In case the person was not admitted at the front deor, which I assume was locked, was there any other pos- sibility?
mdp.39015011958959	Including the weighing?
mdp.39015011958959	Inspector Walker, how long before Mr. Bronson was killed was any of the'ring'likely to put him out of their way?
mdp.39015011958959	It begins to revive memories in Iris,the voice answered quickly;"but she says bravely,'What is that to me?
mdp.39015011958959	It came in at 10.30, as expected? mdp.39015011958959 Kanlan, eh, Ed?"
mdp.39015011958959	Lawler? mdp.39015011958959 Leaving what others in the house?"
mdp.39015011958959	Like this?
mdp.39015011958959	Morning, Mr. Trant; giving us some more of the psycho- palmistry? mdp.39015011958959 Morse, eh?
mdp.39015011958959	Motherly?
mdp.39015011958959	Mr. Trant; you got my note of last night?
mdp.39015011958959	Mrs. Eldredge is not your sister?
mdp.39015011958959	My complicity in the death of Landers and the disappearance of Morse?
mdp.39015011958959	My risk?
mdp.39015011958959	Neal shot Len and made you shoot old Jim Tyler fork?
mdp.39015011958959	Never heard of Sheppard's White Palace, did you? mdp.39015011958959 No; what are you doing, uncle?"
mdp.39015011958959	No?
mdp.39015011958959	Nor one named Ralph Murray?
mdp.39015011958959	Nor this?
mdp.39015011958959	Nor to this — or this — or this?
mdp.39015011958959	Not much psychology in that, is there? mdp.39015011958959 Nothing?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now the voice your mother heard — it was a strange voice?
mdp.39015011958959	Oh, Henry, is it you? mdp.39015011958959 Oh, Lawrie, why did I put you off to the last moment?"
mdp.39015011958959	Or Walcott, the American patent medicine man?
mdp.39015011958959	Or think that I shall ask you anything more except — you have not altered your decision, Iris?
mdp.39015011958959	Paid? mdp.39015011958959 Perhaps Doc- tor O'Connor comes to see your son?"
mdp.39015011958959	Premature, was I — eh?
mdp.39015011958959	Pro- vided it is possible to arrange this with Mr. Welter, how soon can you let me know?
mdp.39015011958959	Professor Reiland,she demanded, in a quick voice,"do you know where my father is?"
mdp.39015011958959	Rob the bank?
mdp.39015011958959	Shall we go down to the study?
mdp.39015011958959	She has not left the library? mdp.39015011958959 She — she"— Caylis's hands clenched —"peached on me — but you — got her?"
mdp.39015011958959	Shrill and excited, as if arguing with some one else?
mdp.39015011958959	So plain, Dr. Joslyn? mdp.39015011958959 So there was cause for my belief that something serious underlay these mysterious appearances?"
mdp.39015011958959	So you got nothing at all out of them?
mdp.39015011958959	So you thought, before your palmistry, you could string us with that?
mdp.39015011958959	So you're going to try me, too?
mdp.39015011958959	So you've been following it, have you?
mdp.39015011958959	So, Don Canonigo Penol,Trant addressed him,"that was the way of it?
mdp.39015011958959	Some one?
mdp.39015011958959	Sweeny, what paper did Kanlan always read?
mdp.39015011958959	Tell me, Miss Rowan,said Trant,"this imple- ment — have you by any chance mentioned it to Presi- dent Welter?"
mdp.39015011958959	Tell me,he demanded, swiftly,"the night Mr. Bronson was killed, was there anything the matter with the telephone?"
mdp.39015011958959	The break was on the inside — I mean, the man worked in the house?
mdp.39015011958959	The door was locked inside?
mdp.39015011958959	The events of Wednesday had to do with this trust left you by your father?
mdp.39015011958959	The papers? mdp.39015011958959 The screams continued?"
mdp.39015011958959	The seven o'clock train from Chicago?
mdp.39015011958959	Then it was Neal that shot Len and — and started the murder among us?
mdp.39015011958959	Then the bell did not ring again?
mdp.39015011958959	Then the company, or some other officer?
mdp.39015011958959	Then the rest lied and it is a conspiracy of the witnesses against her?
mdp.39015011958959	Then there is something you want to tell me that you can not tell in the presence of the others?
mdp.39015011958959	Then what was he trying to hide? mdp.39015011958959 Then where is my son, and who has taken him?"
mdp.39015011958959	Then why have you sent for me at all?
mdp.39015011958959	Then you think Howard honestly believes the man still means nothing?
mdp.39015011958959	Then you — you still stick to that?
mdp.39015011958959	Then you,he addressed her directly,"are Miss Waldron, of Drexel Boule- vard?"
mdp.39015011958959	There is no clew to the perpetrator?
mdp.39015011958959	They are different?
mdp.39015011958959	They still heard screams?
mdp.39015011958959	This is Mrs. Mitchell's paper,he demanded,"the one she always reads?"
mdp.39015011958959	This is a good portrait?
mdp.39015011958959	To steal? mdp.39015011958959 Unless the'spell'on Miss Pierce can be broken by the means I have just spoken of?"
mdp.39015011958959	Walter Newberry?
mdp.39015011958959	Was it right that evening?
mdp.39015011958959	Was the engine room occupied?
mdp.39015011958959	Well, Trant, what do you say now?
mdp.39015011958959	Well, Trant,he asked now,"what is it?"
mdp.39015011958959	Well, Trant?
mdp.39015011958959	Well, professor, what fireworks are you going to show us to- night?
mdp.39015011958959	Well, what have you for that now, son?
mdp.39015011958959	Well, what's the matter with the show?
mdp.39015011958959	Were the witnesses examined sep- arately? — that is, none of them heard the testimony given by any other?
mdp.39015011958959	Were the witnesses examined sep- arately? — that is, none of them heard the testimony given by any other?
mdp.39015011958959	What are all these tricks?

mdp.39015011958959	What is the matter, Joslyn?
mdp.39015011958959	What is the matter? mdp.39015011958959 What madness is this, Trant,"the president de- manded impatiently,"when the facts are so plain be- fore us?"

mdp.39015011958959	Which of us?
mdp.39015011958959	Who is Wilson?
mdp.39015011958959	Who is it that is speaking?
mdp.39015011958959	Who said anything about thinking?

mdp.39015011958959	Why did n't you tell me that before? mdp.39015011958959 Why do you ask that?"
mdp.39015011958959	Why do you not say at once, Mrs. Eldredge, that you know he has consulted me and asked me to come and examine you this afternoon? mdp.39015011958959 Why have you brought that?"
mdp.39015011958959	Why not?
mdp.39015011958959	Why was that?
mdp.39015011958959	Why, Mr Trant; if this is Mr. Lawler, as this man says and you believe, then where is Mr. Axton — oh, where is Howard Axton?
mdp.39015011958959	Will you take me, then, to the rooms where these^ things happened?
mdp.39015011958959	Without — Iris?
mdp.39015011958959	Yes — your wife, Caylis?
mdp.39015011958959	Yes; and intimately, how long?
mdp.39015011958959	Yes; you'll go back home now, wo n't you, Leigh?
mdp.39015011958959	You are leaving the house?
mdp.39015011958959	You are sure of that? mdp.39015011958959 You are — Mrs. Walter Newberry?"
mdp.39015011958959	You ca n't?
mdp.39015011958959	You can hear this tick?
mdp.39015011958959	You doubted- he was there?
mdp.39015011958959	You followed him?
mdp.39015011958959	You got nothing out of him yet?
mdp.39015011958959	You have never gone to this house, Wong Bo?
mdp.39015011958959	You have nothing more to tell me which might be of assistance?
mdp.39015011958959	You here? mdp.39015011958959 You knew that he knew her?"
mdp.39015011958959	You know about that?
mdp.39015011958959	You know him?
mdp.39015011958959	You mean that you offered to marry him?
mdp.39015011958959	You mean the words'reship'and'ethics'?
mdp.39015011958959	You mean you are sure they meant only to take the ten thousand?
mdp.39015011958959	You mean you want to try me?
mdp.39015011958959	You mean, Mr. Axton, that you prefer to investi- gate it personally?
mdp.39015011958959	You mean, has she an anaesthetic spot on her shoulder through which at times she feels no sensation? mdp.39015011958959 You mean,"Siler's eyes rose slowly from the pa- per,"that she must have told him what she was going to do — premeditated murder?"
mdp.39015011958959	You mean,cried Siler,"you are going to test the woman?"
mdp.39015011958959	You said'Walter came home'— but, what brought him here? mdp.39015011958959 You say his watch was fast?
mdp.39015011958959	You say the Indians regarded her with venera- tion?
mdp.39015011958959	You say you can have no doubt of Miss Hen- dricks'veracity?
mdp.39015011958959	You say you have made the test, Trant?
mdp.39015011958959	You see the date of the paper?
mdp.39015011958959	You still see Iris?
mdp.39015011958959	You think I did it?
mdp.39015011958959	You want to stop at your office, I suppose,Shep- pard asked,"for you have n't brought the steins you used in your test with us?"
mdp.39015011958959	You were the one who was calling me up this morning and this afternoon?
mdp.39015011958959	You're sure it was a woman's voice on the phone?
mdp.39015011958959	Your wife, sir?
mdp.39015011958959	''But Neal, Enoch?
mdp.39015011958959	'Have you got the other kind?'
mdp.39015011958959	'What are your five,'I said at a venture;'soft- nose?
mdp.39015011958959	* Who filled this out?"
mdp.39015011958959	158 THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUTHER TRANT"What did you find in Morse's bureau?"
mdp.39015011958959	16 THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUTHER TRANT"Well, Trant, what is it?"
mdp.39015011958959	222 THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUTHER TRANT"What is this you have done to her now?"
mdp.39015011958959	240 THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUTHER TRANT"In retaliation, because he thought Tyler had shot LenFindlay?"
mdp.39015011958959	252 THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUTHER TRANT"You mean,"Sheppard gasped,"that Jim did not killNeal?"
mdp.39015011958959	98 THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LUTHER TRANT"Did you see the boy in the picture, Miss Hen- dricks?"
mdp.39015011958959	Ain'yo'sorry, honey, dem pa- pers is gone — buhned up; dem papers he thought so much of — all buhned by somebody?"
mdp.39015011958959	And how did you know that the other cartridge, the one Jim — the other fellow — did n't even try to fire — was n't loaded, too?"
mdp.39015011958959	And is that all you know?"
mdp.39015011958959	And where — where is Adele?"
mdp.39015011958959	And why have they brought Jim here — this way?"
mdp.39015011958959	And you will allow me to be there also and assist?"
mdp.39015011958959	Are you going to use sporting lead on me?'
mdp.39015011958959	As to the gifts that have been already received — will you be good enough also to look up the convention under these circumstances?"
mdp.39015011958959	As to who shot Neal"What's all this tomfoolery with steins got to do with who shot Neal Sheppard?"
mdp.39015011958959	At three o'clock, then, at your house?"
mdp.39015011958959	Axton?"
mdp.39015011958959	Because he knows the house?
mdp.39015011958959	Before the gas was turned on he was dead — struck dead —""Struck dead?
mdp.39015011958959	Branower's?"
mdp.39015011958959	Branower, you offer nothing in your de- fense?"
mdp.39015011958959	Branower?"
mdp.39015011958959	Branower?"
mdp.39015011958959	But Trant went on swiftly:"Are Sheppard- Tyler shells so poorly loaded, Mr. Sheppard, that two out of ten of them are bad?
mdp.39015011958959	But do they apply it?
mdp.39015011958959	But had you never seen it before then?
mdp.39015011958959	But how could you tell that from the steins?"
mdp.39015011958959	But meanwhile Mrs. Eldredge had taken charge of the child?"
mdp.39015011958959	But on the night after which the body was found — was it occupied that night?"
mdp.39015011958959	But that was like Neal, was n't it, Steve?
mdp.39015011958959	By the way, Miss Gordon, what luck are you having with your typewriting?"
mdp.39015011958959	By the way, professor, is Mr. Welter familiar with these experiments of yours?"
mdp.39015011958959	By whom?"
mdp.39015011958959	Can you send a plain- clothes man and a patrolman at once to Ashland Avenue?
mdp.39015011958959	Can you tell me, then, whether any peculiarity in your ward has been noted previous to this, which could not be accounted for?"
mdp.39015011958959	Can you tell us who he is?"
mdp.39015011958959	Caryl demanded,"without investigation?"
mdp.39015011958959	Caryl?"
mdp.39015011958959	Chapin?"
mdp.39015011958959	Did Gordon tell you last night?"
mdp.39015011958959	Did he come to see you?"
mdp.39015011958959	Did you also see his book?"
mdp.39015011958959	Did you ever hear of such a carnival of arrest?
mdp.39015011958959	Did you look into that at the time?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do you feel able to go home alone, dearie?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you follow her beliefs so much farther?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do you know him?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you re- alize what that implies?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do you suppose that I could not pick out among those sixteen men the Bronson murderer?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you think it possible that he was going to Doctor O'Con- nor's, or have you never thought of that?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do you think that I, with that method, would not have known eighteen months ago that Lawton was innocent?
mdp.39015011958959	Do you understand, my dear?"
mdp.39015011958959	Do you understand?'"
mdp.39015011958959	Does his death alone seem cause enough for her prostration?
mdp.39015011958959	Dr. Pierce, will you bring your ward to me in the study?"
mdp.39015011958959	Eldredge?"
mdp.39015011958959	Everything was as usual be* tween you?"
mdp.39015011958959	For he was only — only —""Only getting the combination for you?"
mdp.39015011958959	Gen- tlemen,"the young assistant tensely added,"I must ask you which of you three was the one in this room with Dr. Lawrie last night?"
mdp.39015011958959	George Lawler?"
mdp.39015011958959	Gordon is right?"
mdp.39015011958959	Had the boys whom the chauffeur said stopped around his car anything to do with it?"
mdp.39015011958959	Had you any reason for supposing they had not been burned?"
mdp.39015011958959	He stayed too?"
mdp.39015011958959	Hied"THE CHALCHIHUITL STONE 223 was here and did that?"
mdp.39015011958959	How could anyone have left the room after the firing of the last shot?
mdp.39015011958959	How did you come to shoot Neal two weeks ago — how did all that make you?"
mdp.39015011958959	How long had you known Mr. Bron- son, Miss Allison?"
mdp.39015011958959	How much negro blood is there in him?"
mdp.39015011958959	How, for instance, do you know he was following him, if Mr. Axton is so reticent about the affair?"
mdp.39015011958959	How?"
mdp.39015011958959	Howell?"
mdp.39015011958959	Howell?"
mdp.39015011958959	Howell?"
mdp.39015011958959	I expect him back with the boy within a few minutes: and mean- while —""What is that?"
mdp.39015011958959	I lied"222"What's all this tomfoolery with steins got to do with who shot Neal Sheppard?"
mdp.39015011958959	I suppose you were acting for President Welter — of whom I have heard — in sending for me?"
mdp.39015011958959	If Welter himself comes, as you think, it will not change the plan?"
mdp.39015011958959	In the library?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is Dickey waiting?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is it absolutely out of the question that he held back the missing bills?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is it not so, sir?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is there an- other secret in this amazing affair?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is there still a good chance of his coming here or — must I go to see him?"
mdp.39015011958959	Is this the West End Police Station?
mdp.39015011958959	Is your name Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	It is not too much to ask you to go over them with me?
mdp.39015011958959	It is suicide?"
mdp.39015011958959	Leigh,"her uncle's voice trembled as he spoke to the girl,"what are you doing here?"
mdp.39015011958959	Man, you ca n't tell me that from that evidence?"
mdp.39015011958959	May I try it?"
mdp.39015011958959	Me?"
mdp.39015011958959	Miss Lawrie answered feebly See page 25 THE MAN IN THE ROOM 27 mouthpiece from Dr. Reiland and speak into it some different one?"
mdp.39015011958959	Mitchell?"
mdp.39015011958959	Mitchell?"
mdp.39015011958959	Mr. Branower exclaimed;"you here?
mdp.39015011958959	Mr. Bronson called upon you that evening, Miss Allison?
mdp.39015011958959	Mr. Bronson, I believe, was still boarding on Superior Street at a bachelor's boarding house?"
mdp.39015011958959	Mr. Trant,"she smiled brightly at the psychologist,"do n't you think this room is beautiful in the morn- ing sunlight?"
mdp.39015011958959	Mr. Trant?
mdp.39015011958959	Newberry?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now do you understand?
mdp.39015011958959	Now the queer, quiet little man with the scar on his cheek who came to see Morse; no one could tell you anything about him?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now what are the other facts?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now what word was that?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now — you know me?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now, what was that you were telling Crowley?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now, what's the answer?"
mdp.39015011958959	Now, will you rearrest Caylis at once and hold him till I can get the galvanometer on him?"
mdp.39015011958959	Oh, there has been trouble there before?
mdp.39015011958959	Reiland?"
mdp.39015011958959	Rowan, what is he talking about?"
mdp.39015011958959	See here; do you know who this is, speak- ing?
mdp.39015011958959	She hears that, does n't she?"
mdp.39015011958959	Sheppard?"
mdp.39015011958959	So far, it is clear?"
mdp.39015011958959	So now — exactly how much do you know about me, Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	THE RED DRESS 89"What?"
mdp.39015011958959	Tell me, how can this be?"
mdp.39015011958959	That is right; you had better keep hold of him, Sullivan; and now, Burns, who is this man?
mdp.39015011958959	That is, your brother has finally been found in the woods — dead?"
mdp.39015011958959	That was it, was it not, Lawler?"
mdp.39015011958959	That was like Neal, was n't it, Steve?
mdp.39015011958959	That was like him, clear to the last, looking for any unfair advantage he could take?
mdp.39015011958959	That's all good, respectable and satisfactory, is n't it?
mdp.39015011958959	The cashier alone had not What do you want to see that machine for?
mdp.39015011958959	The combination, I suppose, is a word?"
mdp.39015011958959	Then you will get together the witnesses?
mdp.39015011958959	This morning?"
mdp.39015011958959	Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	Trant?"

mdp.39015011958959	Trant?'
mdp.39015011958959	Was Kanlan's one of the best or the worst?"
mdp.39015011958959	Was it here?"
mdp.39015011958959	Was there property then, which belonged to her that you wanted to get?"
mdp.39015011958959	Was there some one for me?"
mdp.39015011958959	Waste- basket'gave him trouble, too?"
mdp.39015011958959	We have in here,"the psychologist looked to the door of an inner THE ELEVENTH HOUR 357"You know no reason at all why you should be brought here?"
mdp.39015011958959	We need only go to the docks and watch them while they weigh, and see how they use it, and arrest them and then we have them at last, eh, old man?"
mdp.39015011958959	Welter, what do you think of that?"
mdp.39015011958959	Welter?"
mdp.39015011958959	What are you doing, Gor- don?"
mdp.39015011958959	What charge?
mdp.39015011958959	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015011958959	What do you want to see that machine for?"
mdp.39015011958959	What is it — Oh, what is it, Mr. Trant?
mdp.39015011958959	What is it?"
mdp.39015011958959	What is that?
mdp.39015011958959	What is that?"
mdp.39015011958959	What is the matter with him now?"
mdp.39015011958959	What made you wait three days before calling in even me?"
mdp.39015011958959	What then, Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	What was the cause?
mdp.39015011958959	What — what, Trant?"
mdp.39015011958959	What?
mdp.39015011958959	Where are they, Shaf- fer?
mdp.39015011958959	Where can we get his ad- dress?"
mdp.39015011958959	Where does this lead?"
mdp.39015011958959	Where is the fifth?"
mdp.39015011958959	Which one?
mdp.39015011958959	Who are you, anyway?
mdp.39015011958959	Who just to- day tried to break into my old typewriter desk?"
mdp.39015011958959	Who told you?"
mdp.39015011958959	Who took my pocketbook?
mdp.39015011958959	Who was it?"
mdp.39015011958959	Who, between half past ten and two, could have done this, and for what reason?
mdp.39015011958959	Why did n't you ask me for it?"
mdp.39015011958959	Why did you let me keep it?
mdp.39015011958959	Why did you not at once give it the greatest publicity?
mdp.39015011958959	Why did you say vanished?
mdp.39015011958959	Why do I feel now that I can not marry him?
mdp.39015011958959	Why do you tell me about it?'
mdp.39015011958959	Why else should they search my waste- basket?
mdp.39015011958959	Why have THE RED DRESS 77 you not called in the police?
mdp.39015011958959	Why have you brought him here?
mdp.39015011958959	Why is dat — since yo'foun'dat little green stone?"
mdp.39015011958959	Why was my coat taken?
mdp.39015011958959	Why were you going to that trouble to get the com- bination if you were not going to rob the bank?"
mdp.39015011958959	Why, loving Richard as I did, did I not care at all about the papers?
mdp.39015011958959	Why, since I saw that little green stone, am I indifferent whether he loves me in that way or not?
mdp.39015011958959	Why?"
mdp.39015011958959	Will you be good enough to test it for me?
mdp.39015011958959	Will you explain to us what these tell you?"
mdp.39015011958959	You are ready?
mdp.39015011958959	You are sending Detective Siler?
mdp.39015011958959	You do not believe in that accident, Miss Rowan?"
mdp.39015011958959	You do not happen to know what has become of that German freight agent, Schultz?"
mdp.39015011958959	You have n't spent or lost them?"
mdp.39015011958959	You have no objection to my seeing it?"
mdp.39015011958959	You have seen it?"
mdp.39015011958959	You heard five?"
mdp.39015011958959	You see how very- terribly it simplifies our problem?
mdp.39015011958959	You see?"
mdp.39015011958959	You think, Mr. Trant, that an investigation such as you suggest, would satisfy Miss Waldron — make her easier in her mind, I mean?"
mdp.39015011958959	You will let me see you home again this morning?
mdp.39015011958959	You, too, Miss Allison, can you give no possible rea- son why Mr. Bronson might have gone out?"
mdp.39015011958959	_"Do you mind if I sit down?
mdp.39015011958959	and the American Commodities Company, eh?"'
mdp.39015011958959	did n't Neal have it coming?"
mdp.39015011958959	he said helplessly; then, irritated by his own weakness, he turned testily toward the door:"I wonder what is keeping them out there?"
mdp.39015011958959	i"What's all this tomfoolery with steins got|b do with who shot Neal Sheppard?"
mdp.39015011958959	what do you want?"
mdp.39015011958959	— the papers, Ulame?"
mdp.39015020213396	'What is that fool Ed doing?' mdp.39015020213396 3 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"What, do you think the receiver is as bad as the thief?"
mdp.39015020213396	Ah, monsieur,he cried,"back already?
mdp.39015020213396	Ah, you see an additional likeness between my uncle and myself this morning, then? mdp.39015020213396 Am I acquainted with him?"
mdp.39015020213396	Am I ever likely to forget him?
mdp.39015020213396	Am I to infer, Lady Alicia, that you are in pos- session of certain facts unknown either to your uncle or the police?
mdp.39015020213396	Am I under arrest?
mdp.39015020213396	And Podgers has been all over the place?
mdp.39015020213396	And may I place within some little design of my own which will astonish your friends the English, and delight my friends the French?
mdp.39015020213396	And now, Monsieur Valmont, do you wish smoke to issue from this imitation bomb?
mdp.39015020213396	And that was the last you saw of them?
mdp.39015020213396	And the evening papers?
mdp.39015020213396	And the fare you were following? mdp.39015020213396 And this you refused?"
mdp.39015020213396	And what became of the money?
mdp.39015020213396	And what did you do? mdp.39015020213396 And what of Lord Rantremly's son?"
mdp.39015020213396	And you saw nothing of the closed cab right at your elbow?
mdp.39015020213396	And your fare?
mdp.39015020213396	Anything else, Podgers? mdp.39015020213396 Anything further I can do?"
mdp.39015020213396	Are there any women servants in the house?
mdp.39015020213396	Are they very valuable?
mdp.39015020213396	Are you connected with Scotland Yard, Monsieur Valmont?
mdp.39015020213396	Are you going to meet him to- morrow?
mdp.39015020213396	Are you no longer in Government service then?
mdp.39015020213396	Are you sure of that?
mdp.39015020213396	As this strong box was bought second- hand and not made to order, I suppose there can be no secret crannies in it?
mdp.39015020213396	At what hour does your master retire to his study?
mdp.39015020213396	At what time did you reach the Pont de Neuilly?
mdp.39015020213396	But surely sensible men do not pay any attention to such a rumor?
mdp.39015020213396	But surely, my lord, a man who owns, as one might say, a principality in this wealthy realm of England, can not be penniless?
mdp.39015020213396	But which is it? mdp.39015020213396 By one of the passengers?"
mdp.39015020213396	Confession? mdp.39015020213396 Did I kill him?"
mdp.39015020213396	Did he look behind, or appear to know that he was being followed?
mdp.39015020213396	Did he show any surprise when you mentioned the theft?
mdp.39015020213396	Did he use a separate key, or one of a bunch?
mdp.39015020213396	Did you ever see your master with this bunch of keys?
mdp.39015020213396	Did you give that name to the police?
mdp.39015020213396	Did you notice that extracts have been clipped from any of them?
mdp.39015020213396	Did you put them ashore between here and De- nouval?
mdp.39015020213396	Did you take up a passenger a few minutes past three o'clock on the Boulevard des Italiens, near the Cre- dit- Lyonnais? mdp.39015020213396 Direct?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do they appear to have been read very carefully?
mdp.39015020213396	Do you know where he lives? mdp.39015020213396 Do you mean to tell me that the second man who came on your launch at the Pont de Neuilly is not the American who engaged you?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do you mind the change being'all in silver, sir?
mdp.39015020213396	Do you wish me to give you the name of the criminal?
mdp.39015020213396	Does Mr. Summertrees keep a scrapbook?
mdp.39015020213396	Does he come out for lunch?
mdp.39015020213396	Does he go away before breakfast?
mdp.39015020213396	Does he go direct to the dining room?
mdp.39015020213396	Does he ring, or let himself in with a latchkey?
mdp.39015020213396	Does the clerk ever dine with your master?
mdp.39015020213396	Does the safe unlock with a word or a key?
mdp.39015020213396	Does the steward know the money is missing?
mdp.39015020213396	Does this evidence convince you that he stole the necklace?
mdp.39015020213396	Eccentric?
mdp.39015020213396	Enough to go on with? mdp.39015020213396 For how long was he sentenced?"
mdp.39015020213396	For some one in England?
mdp.39015020213396	From what quay?
mdp.39015020213396	Had it anything to do with silver spoons?
mdp.39015020213396	Has my uncle acquainted you with particulars of the robbery?
mdp.39015020213396	Have n't you followed the clerk?
mdp.39015020213396	Have n't you found out where the money comes from?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you asked him to do this?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you done nothing about this for the past ten years?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you ever met this learned doctor, Mr. Mac- pherson?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you fallen heir to the lands as well as to the title?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you had the library cleared out?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you kept up communication with the young man?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you received the money?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you seen him unlock the safe, and put in the money?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you spoken to anyone of your loss?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you the numbers of the notes?
mdp.39015020213396	He paid you well, I suppose?
mdp.39015020213396	His anvil?
mdp.39015020213396	How about the ghost with a clubfoot, my lord?
mdp.39015020213396	How are you getting on?
mdp.39015020213396	How came he to die?
mdp.39015020213396	How can a sane man hold a theory about a ghost? mdp.39015020213396 How could you guess that?"
mdp.39015020213396	How dared you burn that sheet?
mdp.39015020213396	How did he take your news?
mdp.39015020213396	How did you come to be in the yacht at all?
mdp.39015020213396	How do you know he is not the real coiner him- self?
mdp.39015020213396	How do you know?
mdp.39015020213396	How does he carry the money?
mdp.39015020213396	How many know it?
mdp.39015020213396	How many waiters served it?
mdp.39015020213396	How many?
mdp.39015020213396	How much money do you estimate he accumu- lated?
mdp.39015020213396	How, for instance, did you learn that I was a bib- liophile?
mdp.39015020213396	I must say you use extraordinary terms, Mr.—Mr. — What did you say the name was?
mdp.39015020213396	I need not ask if you have searched the library?
mdp.39015020213396	I suppose you want me to take Podgers's position?
mdp.39015020213396	I thought you said he did n't speak?
mdp.39015020213396	If that is true, why did he scream as he went over?
mdp.39015020213396	If that was not your name, why did you use it?
mdp.39015020213396	If the walls are so thick that a prisoner's cry has not been heard, how could you hear his footsteps, which make much less noise?
mdp.39015020213396	In his pocket, you mean?
mdp.39015020213396	In other words, you wish me to bribe the officials of the jail?
mdp.39015020213396	Inspector Standish,I cried,"is it within your power to arrest a man on suspicion?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is Summertrees a married man?
mdp.39015020213396	Is he still butler?
mdp.39015020213396	Is he the son of the late lord?
mdp.39015020213396	Is his name known to you?
mdp.39015020213396	Is it foggy outside?
mdp.39015020213396	Is it possible that there may have been some com- munication on the white border of a newspaper?
mdp.39015020213396	Is there a window looking out from the reception room?
mdp.39015020213396	It's not all the new coinage, then?
mdp.39015020213396	Lady Alicia, surely you would not countenance the profaning of that lovely old edifice with a mock ceremonial? mdp.39015020213396 Locks the door on the inside?"
mdp.39015020213396	Looks like a stable, does n't it?
mdp.39015020213396	May I take it that in the City, that sen- sible, commercial portion of London, no spirits are be- lieved in except those sold over the bars?
mdp.39015020213396	Monsieur Valmont,began Lord Chizelrigg,"do you ever take up cases on speculation?"
mdp.39015020213396	Monsieur Valmont?
mdp.39015020213396	Neither of them went into the reception room, I take it?
mdp.39015020213396	No one takes breakfast to his room?
mdp.39015020213396	No precautions need be taken?
mdp.39015020213396	No; I do not believe that he actually stole it, but I am persuaded he was an accessory after the fact — is that the legal term? mdp.39015020213396 Nothing suspicious about the old curiosity shop?"
mdp.39015020213396	Of Park Lane? mdp.39015020213396 Of what am I accused?"
mdp.39015020213396	Of what is his household comprised?
mdp.39015020213396	Oh, an author, is he? mdp.39015020213396 Oh, does Dacre refer to his own conjuring?"
mdp.39015020213396	Oh, is that you, Monsieur Valmont? mdp.39015020213396 Oh, you know what I mean: the Summertrees affair?"
mdp.39015020213396	On speculation, sir? mdp.39015020213396 Pardon me, but do these facts tend to incrimi- nate the young man?"
mdp.39015020213396	Possibly you put the task into incompetent hands?
mdp.39015020213396	Searched it? mdp.39015020213396 So now you understand how important it is that I should regain possession of my property?"
mdp.39015020213396	Suppose I take this book at ten pounds, what in- stallments should I have to pay each week?
mdp.39015020213396	The dinner was fetched in from outside, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015020213396	The house consists of four stories and a basement, does it?
mdp.39015020213396	The other cab was an open vehicle, you say?
mdp.39015020213396	The silver spoons?
mdp.39015020213396	Then the American is still aboard?
mdp.39015020213396	Then the clerk unlocks his leather money bag?
mdp.39015020213396	Then the tall man with the black beard is still with you?
mdp.39015020213396	Then why are you standing here like a fool?
mdp.39015020213396	Then why should he jump overboard?
mdp.39015020213396	Then why should you indulge him?
mdp.39015020213396	Then you must have reached Neuilly bridge about four o'clock?
mdp.39015020213396	This game has been going on under your noses for how long?
mdp.39015020213396	This go- between, as we may call him, is the third person in the secret? mdp.39015020213396 This has happened every day since you've been there?"
mdp.39015020213396	To me? mdp.39015020213396 Valmont,"he said quietly,"on whose behalf did you search my house?"
mdp.39015020213396	Was he a Frenchman?
mdp.39015020213396	Was he carrying a box?
mdp.39015020213396	Was the ceremony genuine, then?
mdp.39015020213396	Was the man who had the jewels a Frenchman?
mdp.39015020213396	Was your uncle a religious man?
mdp.39015020213396	Well, captain, is there anything else you have to tell me? mdp.39015020213396 Well, madam, what do you expect of me?"
mdp.39015020213396	Well?
mdp.39015020213396	Were they fastened on the night of the dinner party?
mdp.39015020213396	What I mean is, do you accept a case on a con- tingent fee? mdp.39015020213396 What are you doing there?"
mdp.39015020213396	What are you laughing at?
mdp.39015020213396	What are you?
mdp.39015020213396	What bearing has all this on our own case?
mdp.39015020213396	What became of him?
mdp.39015020213396	What became of the cheap paper?
mdp.39015020213396	What could I do?
mdp.39015020213396	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015020213396	What do you wish me to do?
mdp.39015020213396	What forces you to that conclusion, my lady?
mdp.39015020213396	What has become of the clergyman?
mdp.39015020213396	What is he, then?
mdp.39015020213396	What is the evidence against him?
mdp.39015020213396	What is the name of this young man?
mdp.39015020213396	What is your own theory?
mdp.39015020213396	What is your theory regarding this ghost, my lord?
mdp.39015020213396	What jewels, sir?
mdp.39015020213396	What job?
mdp.39015020213396	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015020213396	What name?
mdp.39015020213396	What of Dacre?
mdp.39015020213396	What time does he leave the house?
mdp.39015020213396	What was his crime?
mdp.39015020213396	What was its number?
mdp.39015020213396	What work did he do at his forge?
mdp.39015020213396	What's perfectly plain?
mdp.39015020213396	What, and have never let me know? mdp.39015020213396 When did you leave there?"
mdp.39015020213396	When does he read?
mdp.39015020213396	When is breakfast served?
mdp.39015020213396	Where are the morning papers placed?
mdp.39015020213396	Where are you going?
mdp.39015020213396	Where did he tell you to drive?
mdp.39015020213396	Where did you come from?
mdp.39015020213396	Where do you sleep?
mdp.39015020213396	Where does the master sleep?
mdp.39015020213396	Where is my father?
mdp.39015020213396	Where is that butler?
mdp.39015020213396	Where is the American?
mdp.39015020213396	Where is this room?
mdp.39015020213396	Where shall we begin?
mdp.39015020213396	Which guest drew your attention to the money?
mdp.39015020213396	Which one?
mdp.39015020213396	Who engaged you to make this voyage?
mdp.39015020213396	Who is he?
mdp.39015020213396	Who is your father?
mdp.39015020213396	Who takes them, from the study?
mdp.39015020213396	Who told you that?
mdp.39015020213396	Who was Eugene Valmont?
mdp.39015020213396	Why did n't they arrest him?
mdp.39015020213396	Why did n't you follow the cab?
mdp.39015020213396	Why do n't you arrest and question him?
mdp.39015020213396	Why? mdp.39015020213396 Why?"
mdp.39015020213396	Will Brother Simard come forward?
mdp.39015020213396	Will you name him?
mdp.39015020213396	Will you oblige me by removing your false beard?
mdp.39015020213396	Will you pardon me if I decline to answer this question at the present moment?
mdp.39015020213396	Will you tell me whom you suspect?
mdp.39015020213396	Yes; and this money?
mdp.39015020213396	Yesterday afternoon, you mean?
mdp.39015020213396	You admit yourself, then, indirectly at least, re- sponsible for his drowning?
mdp.39015020213396	You are acting for some one else,, I suppose?
mdp.39015020213396	You are certain he has no knowledge of the hid- ing- place of this treasure?
mdp.39015020213396	You are employed during the day,11 take it?
mdp.39015020213396	You are sure of what you say?
mdp.39015020213396	You believe he escaped, then?
mdp.39015020213396	You have been living at the Chase since your uncle died?
mdp.39015020213396	You have n't got any Kentucky or Canadian?
mdp.39015020213396	You have no marriage certificate, of course?
mdp.39015020213396	You have no official standing as a detective, then, Monsieur Valmont?
mdp.39015020213396	You have not changed your mind?
mdp.39015020213396	You hear noth- ing?
mdp.39015020213396	You know nothing of his circumstances?
mdp.39015020213396	You received no letters from the young man?
mdp.39015020213396	You reported that very striking fact to your chief, of course?
mdp.39015020213396	You saw him open the safe once, I am told?
mdp.39015020213396	You surely would not break the wall without per- mission from his lordship in London?
mdp.39015020213396	You think the clergyman also was murdered?
mdp.39015020213396	You were known in prison as Wyoming Ed?
mdp.39015020213396	You will then take the night train to- morrow for Paris?
mdp.39015020213396	You wish me to trace them, perhaps?
mdp.39015020213396	You would do it under the hour?
mdp.39015020213396	You're not offended at what I said in the meeting, I hope?
mdp.39015020213396	Your man Johnson?
mdp.39015020213396	'"What, all the morning papers?"
mdp.39015020213396	128 The Clew of the Silver Spoons"He wishes it returned, does he?"
mdp.39015020213396	179 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont Saw no signs of a coining establishment?"
mdp.39015020213396	183 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"Once the money is in and the safe locked up, what does the clerk do?"
mdp.39015020213396	19 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"Was the man to whom he gave the box an Amer- ican also?"
mdp.39015020213396	285 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"What am I to call you?"
mdp.39015020213396	286 Liberating the Wrong Man"Did you know Wyoming Ed?"
mdp.39015020213396	30 The Midnight Race Down the Seine"What American, sir?"
mdp.39015020213396	35- The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"Why did you do that?"
mdp.39015020213396	45 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"What is your proof against this Italian?"
mdp.39015020213396	95 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"Sir,"said I,"do you remember Eugene Valmont?"
mdp.39015020213396	Am I right in supposing that everything hinges on the man who is to throw the bomb?"
mdp.39015020213396	And how is that supposed to interest me?
mdp.39015020213396	And now you are determined to adopt ille- gal means?
mdp.39015020213396	And now, monsieur, was my hint regarding the silver spoons of any value to you?"
mdp.39015020213396	And this sum of money is to be paid to the third person you referred to?"
mdp.39015020213396	And you have come to learn whether or no I can lay the ghost in that old castle to the north which bears your name?"
mdp.39015020213396	Are they separate or in a bunch?"
mdp.39015020213396	Are you going to tell me the truth, or are you not?"
mdp.39015020213396	Are you hurt, Jack?'
mdp.39015020213396	But why are you here?
mdp.39015020213396	Can you do that, or are they mixed up in a heap in the coal cellar?"
mdp.39015020213396	Carter?"
mdp.39015020213396	Confederates?"
mdp.39015020213396	Did Higgins remember anything regarding it?
mdp.39015020213396	Did he carry a small box in his hand and order you to drive to the Madeleine?"
mdp.39015020213396	Did you notice any writing on the margins of the newspapers you examined?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do my eyes deceive me, or is the sum exactly a hundred pounds?
mdp.39015020213396	Do n't you see the subtlety of my action?
mdp.39015020213396	Do you agree with me, Mon- sieur Valmont?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do you get that?
mdp.39015020213396	Do you happen to have about you one of those new five- shilling pieces which you believe to be illegally coined?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do you know how I joined?
mdp.39015020213396	Do you know where it is?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do you mean to say you go round London with a hundred and fifty pounds'worth of goods under your arm in this careless way?"
mdp.39015020213396	Do you think you can ride your horse?'
mdp.39015020213396	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015020213396	Does that console you?"
mdp.39015020213396	Eh, my good friend?"
mdp.39015020213396	Every profession is marred by its little jealousies, and why should the coterie of detection be exempt?
mdp.39015020213396	Gibbes?"
mdp.39015020213396	Gibbes?"
mdp.39015020213396	Had he a short black beard?
mdp.39015020213396	Had he, then, penetrated my disguise?
mdp.39015020213396	Hard at it from half past nine till toward seven, I imagine?"
mdp.39015020213396	Has he prevented him going from top to bottom of the house?"
mdp.39015020213396	Has the son made any suggestion regarding his release?"
mdp.39015020213396	Have I made it plain now why I began with a question which you had every right to resent?"
mdp.39015020213396	Have you a cab at the door?"
mdp.39015020213396	Have you ever seen anything like it?
mdp.39015020213396	Have you seen my uncle?"
mdp.39015020213396	Have you spoken of this to anyone but me?"
mdp.39015020213396	He greeted me abruptly with:"I say, Valmont, how long do you expect to be on this job?"
mdp.39015020213396	He was somewhat eccen- tric, was he not?"
mdp.39015020213396	How are you, Rogers?"
mdp.39015020213396	How came you to suspect he was penniless?"
mdp.39015020213396	How can you ask such a question?
mdp.39015020213396	How did you hit it?"
mdp.39015020213396	How do my erasures correspond with yours, Mon- sieur Valmont?"
mdp.39015020213396	How far is it?"
mdp.39015020213396	However, what is a man to do?
mdp.39015020213396	I called the waiter, and said to him:"Do you know my friend here?"
mdp.39015020213396	I cried with vim,"have you ever seen that sheet before?"
mdp.39015020213396	I did not send for you, did I?"
mdp.39015020213396	I hope I may never follow an example so 298 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont than by its dismemberment and sale piecemeal?
mdp.39015020213396	I suppose this encyclopedia, as you call it, is in the shop at Tottenham Court Road?"
mdp.39015020213396	I took aside one of my own men in plain clothes and said to him:"You have seen the American who has bought the necklace?"
mdp.39015020213396	If France and England became as friendly as France and Russia, might not the refuge which England had given to anarchy become a thing of the past?
mdp.39015020213396	If I am invited in, I ask the occupant the question I asked you just now:'Are you interested in rare editions?'
mdp.39015020213396	If unable to swim, why should he at- tempt it encumbered by the box?"
mdp.39015020213396	If we can find such a man in that company, do you not agree with me that he is likely to be the thief?"
mdp.39015020213396	In the direction of a man, of course?"
mdp.39015020213396	In what way are you concerned in these occurrences?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is Mr. Summertrees in?
mdp.39015020213396	Is he a person who could do so dishonorable an action?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is it any wonder that I threw up my hands in despair at finding myself among such a people?
mdp.39015020213396	Is that the tragedy of which you speak?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is that true?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is the man to be sent to perdition for a momentary weakness?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is there a pleasant country around Chizelrigg Chase?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is there a spare bed in the manor house, or shall I take down a cot with me, or let us say a hammock?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is there any com- paratively new volume in the library?"
mdp.39015020213396	Is there any restriction on the going and coming of your man Podgers?"
mdp.39015020213396	Leave the Manor of Blair in the morning?
mdp.39015020213396	Macpherson?"
mdp.39015020213396	May I ask how you came to hear of me?"
mdp.39015020213396	May I ask if you suspect anyone in particular?"
mdp.39015020213396	No, no, and in any case how can I be sure you come from Eugene Valmont?
mdp.39015020213396	Now, Macpherson, what have you to say in your defense?"
mdp.39015020213396	Now, am I right in my conjecture, monsieur, that you come here alone; that you bring with you no train of followers and assistants?"
mdp.39015020213396	Now, mon ami, do you want my assistance, or have you enough to go on with?"
mdp.39015020213396	Now, monsieur, what will you do?"
mdp.39015020213396	Now, shall we return to my office, or go to a cafe?"
mdp.39015020213396	Oh, is that you, Podgers?
mdp.39015020213396	Out of what?
mdp.39015020213396	Poor young man, if this mummery were to console him for the rest of his life, why should I not indulge him in it?"
mdp.39015020213396	Should you know the cabman if you saw him again?"
mdp.39015020213396	So Summertrees has succeeded in com- pletely disconcerting your man?
mdp.39015020213396	So you can not complete your plans un- til you have met this man?"
mdp.39015020213396	Stood here like a post, I suppose?"
mdp.39015020213396	Summertrees?"
mdp.39015020213396	Sure you ca n't remember?"
mdp.39015020213396	The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont"Then, if you can prove that, why not apply for a new trial?"
mdp.39015020213396	The first 9 121 The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont question he will ask you may be this:'Why did not Dacre come and borrow the money from me?'
mdp.39015020213396	The man who engaged you is still aboard?"
mdp.39015020213396	The packet did n't drop out and remain un- noticed in some corner?"
mdp.39015020213396	Then he looked up at me and said:"You do n't expect me to give a pal away, do you?"
mdp.39015020213396	Then he said to me:"Do you know a girl named Sophia Brooks?"
mdp.39015020213396	Then why do n't you nab him one day when his pockets are stuffed with illegitimate five- shilling pieces?"
mdp.39015020213396	They say to themselves,'What chance is there successfully to steal bars of silver while Mr. Hale is at Scotland Yard?'
mdp.39015020213396	Thompson, will you show this person out?
mdp.39015020213396	Time and again France has demanded the extradition of an anarchist, always to be met with the question:"Where is your proof?"
mdp.39015020213396	Unless I am very much mistaken, this is Monsieur Valmont of Paris?"
mdp.39015020213396	Was I on the verge of hearing a confession?
mdp.39015020213396	We heard him say:"Is this the residence of Mr. Summertrees?
mdp.39015020213396	What did he do?"
mdp.39015020213396	What do you know of his circumstances before the din- ner of the twenty- third?"
mdp.39015020213396	What grounds have you for such a belief if you did not see the struggle?"
mdp.39015020213396	What have you to say of the mur- der in Greenwich Park?"
mdp.39015020213396	What in the second place?"
mdp.39015020213396	What is done with them?"
mdp.39015020213396	What is the first account you wish further light upon?"
mdp.39015020213396	What is the name of the volume he bought?"
mdp.39015020213396	What is your remaining account?"
mdp.39015020213396	What silver spoons?"
mdp.39015020213396	What then, Monsieur Valmont?
mdp.39015020213396	What time does he arrive in the evening?"
mdp.39015020213396	What was his conjuring?"
mdp.39015020213396	What were the contents of that letter?"
mdp.39015020213396	What will you drink, Ducharme?"
mdp.39015020213396	What's the name of the old steward?"
mdp.39015020213396	What's the next item on the pro- gramme?"
mdp.39015020213396	What, the encyclopedia's out of print?
mdp.39015020213396	What?
mdp.39015020213396	When does he do his writing?"
mdp.39015020213396	When the waiter returned I whispered to him in some anxiety:"Not the police, surely?"
mdp.39015020213396	Who is he?"
mdp.39015020213396	Who is that person?"
mdp.39015020213396	Who is that speaking?
mdp.39015020213396	Who would believe my story?
mdp.39015020213396	Why did n't you call one of our men, whoever was nearest, and leave him to shadow the Amer- ican while you followed the cab?"
mdp.39015020213396	Why did you not do so?"
mdp.39015020213396	Why, I'm an old mar?.
mdp.39015020213396	Why?"
mdp.39015020213396	Will you take a hansom, drive to Mr. Innis's house on the Cromwell Road, confront him quietly, and ask for the return of the packet?
mdp.39015020213396	Would five shillings be too much?"
mdp.39015020213396	Would you mind letting me know to what point your researches have led you?"
mdp.39015020213396	Would you mind tell- 200 The Queer Shop in Tottenham Court Road ing me the name of the owner of these books in the West End?"
mdp.39015020213396	Yet, if such were his mission, why did he attract the attention of all members by this open- eyed scrutiny?
mdp.39015020213396	You can take me into the house, I suppose, when you return?"
mdp.39015020213396	You do n't intend to send me back to that hellhole, do you?"
mdp.39015020213396	You do n't mean to tell me you have so soon got to the bottom of the silver- spoon entanglement?"
mdp.39015020213396	You had two passengers aboard?"
mdp.39015020213396	You never heard of Dr. Willoughby, I suppose?"
mdp.39015020213396	You said all, I think, Podgers?"
mdp.39015020213396	You say that Summertrees has no business?"
mdp.39015020213396	You say you exam- ined all the papers?"
mdp.39015020213396	been in there only ten years?
mdp.39015020213396	you knew it was the police, then?"
mdp.39015020213396	•"You succeeded in following it?"
mdp.39015063514650	A private of Marines with plenary powers from the First Lord? mdp.39015063514650 Am I responsible,"wailed Madame,"for the allotment of rooms by hoteliers?"
mdp.39015063514650	Am I then so very unattractive?
mdp.39015063514650	And if I do not, of whom is the fault?
mdp.39015063514650	And what will become of Hagan?
mdp.39015063514650	And when you are well you will again fly for France?
mdp.39015063514650	Are they to be allowed to go to their homes when they come off their shifts?
mdp.39015063514650	But is a man a white angel because he has the honour to be your friend?
mdp.39015063514650	But what are you?
mdp.39015063514650	But where in the world does he raise these men? mdp.39015063514650 Can you let me know more details, my lord?"
mdp.39015063514650	Can you not give him another chance?
mdp.39015063514650	Can you not give me any guidance?
mdp.39015063514650	Did you know me?
mdp.39015063514650	Do you know that man?
mdp.39015063514650	Does he ever come to you in disguise?
mdp.39015063514650	Excuse me,I cried, intensely interested,"but how could one conceal a paper in bread or in chocolate without leaving external traces?"
mdp.39015063514650	Find out what?
mdp.39015063514650	Had the Captain Rouille joined St. Cyr as a cadet officer, or had he served in the ranks of the French Army?
mdp.39015063514650	Have I your permission, madam?
mdp.39015063514650	Have you ever watched an electric bulb fade away when the current is failing?
mdp.39015063514650	Have you evidence that what is possible has in fact been done?
mdp.39015063514650	Have you met our friend Dawson lately?
mdp.39015063514650	How did you find me out?
mdp.39015063514650	How did you find out that I wrote a story about you?
mdp.39015063514650	How? mdp.39015063514650 Howthe — how the — do you do it?"
mdp.39015063514650	I can not make conditions,replied Dawson gently;"but ask yourselves why I brought my Marines all the way from Chatham to deal with this meeting?
mdp.39015063514650	If admirals can joyfully go afloat as lieut.-com- manders, as lots of them are doing, what is to prevent a Colonel of Marines serving as a subaltern? mdp.39015063514650 If the shore party had all gone, how was it that I saw Petty Officer Trehayne in the ship?"
mdp.39015063514650	In what Service?
mdp.39015063514650	Ma foi, mon ami, what would I not give for one hour of peace and rest, away from this swarming hive of men and women? mdp.39015063514650 Madame is of my country, is it not so?"
mdp.39015063514650	May I ask one of you? mdp.39015063514650 May we read it?"
mdp.39015063514650	Met him? mdp.39015063514650 Met him?"
mdp.39015063514650	Never?
mdp.39015063514650	Now what do I know of Burnham?
mdp.39015063514650	Of Germany?
mdp.39015063514650	Oh, that?
mdp.39015063514650	Perhaps you will tell me to what happy circumstance I owe the honour of this visit?
mdp.39015063514650	Shall I also learn a lesson from you in unkind- ness and say'No'?
mdp.39015063514650	Shall I repeat what you have said, word for word?
mdp.39015063514650	The old man,remarked that officer, a typical, stolid, faithful detective sergeant,"is 79 GUESSWORK 81"What is he at now?"
mdp.39015063514650	Then how do you account for this?
mdp.39015063514650	Then what can we possibly do?
mdp.39015063514650	Then you think that the Antinous and the Antigone were both damaged by the same man, and that he may have designs upon the Mal- plaquet?
mdp.39015063514650	This? mdp.39015063514650 To- morrow?"
mdp.39015063514650	Was it for this that you came?
mdp.39015063514650	Were you not rather rash,I asked of Madame Gilbert,"to give yourself away so completely?
mdp.39015063514650	What about that story of mine in The Cornhill Magazine, which you still carry about next your heart?
mdp.39015063514650	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063514650	What became of Hagan?
mdp.39015063514650	What do you say, not for a gentleman? mdp.39015063514650 What have you to do with secrets which con- cern the fate of nations at war?"
mdp.39015063514650	What is the programme? mdp.39015063514650 What is your idea?
mdp.39015063514650	What made you think it was Trehayne?
mdp.39015063514650	What more natural,cried the patron,"than that the brave captain should be eager to read the sweet confession of your love?"
mdp.39015063514650	What relation is to your wife?
mdp.39015063514650	What will your prisoners get by way of punish- ment?
mdp.39015063514650	What words are these to find upon the lips of lovers? mdp.39015063514650 What — what is it?"
mdp.39015063514650	Where do I come in?
mdp.39015063514650	Where does Trehayne come from? mdp.39015063514650 Why did that man say that he prepared the description of the ship for you?"
mdp.39015063514650	Why did you want it?
mdp.39015063514650	Why,I asked in turn of Rust,"did you begin by telling lies to the charming Madame Gilbert?"
mdp.39015063514650	Why? mdp.39015063514650 Will it not be far too risky to let him take my Notes even if you do shadow him closely afterwards?
mdp.39015063514650	Will you explain to Mr. Dawson what we want of him or shall I?

mdp.39015063514650	Will you permit me to offer you a cup of tea so as to wash from your mouth the unpleasant taste of my brutal refusal?
mdp.39015063514650	Would it not be well if we gave him an opportunity of tell- ing us what his views are?
mdp.39015063514650	Yes, how?
mdp.39015063514650	Yes, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514650	You are sure of that?
mdp.39015063514650	You have not by any chance seen that paper before?
mdp.39015063514650	You have served?
mdp.39015063514650	You have the principal all right?
mdp.39015063514650	You knew that he was no longer in my ser- vice?
mdp.39015063514650	You recognise it?
mdp.39015063514650	You say that the Antinous is all right now?
mdp.39015063514650	You will let that poor devil of a draughtsman down easily?
mdp.39015063514650	Your plans are —?
mdp.39015063514650	'Ma foi, do I see before me a Boy Scout?'
mdp.39015063514650	'Who is re- sponsible for the ship?'
mdp.39015063514650	'You or me?'

mdp.39015063514650	Am I not a gentleman, I, who speak, a Froissart, a Count of I'ancien regime, a Royalist almost?
mdp.39015063514650	Am I to approve of you?"
mdp.39015063514650	And what was my reward?
mdp.39015063514650	Are you a Marine, or a too clever German spy, or what?
mdp.39015063514650	Are you going to keep Plymouth and Devonport in the dumps for long?"
mdp.39015063514650	Authority endorsed by Jacquetot?
mdp.39015063514650	Be content?
mdp.39015063514650	But how did my letters, books, and magazines con- taining information, the most secret and urgent, pass through the censorship unchecked?
mdp.39015063514650	But how in the world did you near anything about them?"
mdp.39015063514650	But then how was I to know that the dear woman knew as much about aeroplanes as I did myself?
mdp.39015063514650	But what can one do with these savage brutes in the North?
mdp.39015063514650	But what to me were risks?
mdp.39015063514650	But why the hell, man, do you dress up as a Marine?"
mdp.39015063514650	Can I trust you?"
mdp.39015063514650	Can it be you whom I meet thus unexpectedly?
mdp.39015063514650	Can the brief space between these dates have been merely an accident?
mdp.39015063514650	Can you give me a list of the men who are or have been on this sort of work during the past few years?"
mdp.39015063514650	Cary is not nervous or im- aginative — have I not said that he springs from a naval stock? — but even he now and then felt anxious.
mdp.39015063514650	Cary took off the earpiece and I listened to a one- sided conversation somewhat as follows: — BAFFLED 77"What I Is that you, Mr. Dawson?
mdp.39015063514650	Could I have committed this frightful treason to love and remained other than an object of scorn and loathing to honest men?
mdp.39015063514650	Could you come if I sent for you?"
mdp.39015063514650	Curious, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063514650	Dawson?"
mdp.39015063514650	Dawson?"
mdp.39015063514650	Did he say that he had given it to me personally, into my own hand?"
mdp.39015063514650	Did she not, inquired Rust, greatly daring, find it rather hard and scratchy?
mdp.39015063514650	Did she really clout you over the head and chuck you into the street?"
mdp.39015063514650	Do you grasp the simplicity and subtlety of the device?
mdp.39015063514650	For who would then write of your exploits and pour upon your heads the bright light of fame?
mdp.39015063514650	GUESSWORK 85"Still,"I persisted, passing over the snub,"you have a theory?"
mdp.39015063514650	Go ahead, what is the game?"
mdp.39015063514650	Had he, an English public school boy, played the game according to the immemorial English rules?
mdp.39015063514650	Have you ever been surprised by anything?
mdp.39015063514650	Have you suspected me?
mdp.39015063514650	He had evaded a trap, and had involved an unloved colleague in its meshes; what more could be required of a highly placed Minister?
mdp.39015063514650	How can I tell?
mdp.39015063514650	How did I guess?
mdp.39015063514650	How do you know that Maynard has n't a second establishment hidden away some- where in the Three Towns?
mdp.39015063514650	How is it done?"
mdp.39015063514650	How was it done?"
mdp.39015063514650	I have it in my mind to score off him; what do you say, mon ami?"
mdp.39015063514650	I play, I kiss, I philander — as you call it — but what are these trifles?
mdp.39015063514650	In what capacity?"
mdp.39015063514650	Is he then stupid as an owl?'
mdp.39015063514650	Is it in this way, you shameless woman, that you preserved from reproach the honour of the late imaginary stove man?"
mdp.39015063514650	Is it not so?"
mdp.39015063514650	Is she much damaged?"
mdp.39015063514650	It is a pre- caution of the censorship, childish and laughable, for what is easier than to imitate official wrappers?
mdp.39015063514650	Look here, my fine fellow, who the devil are you?
mdp.39015063514650	Makepeace?
mdp.39015063514650	Mother and me?"
mdp.39015063514650	No, thank you, Mrs. Cary, I have had my breakfast, but if I might trouble you for a cup of coffee?
mdp.39015063514650	Now who could know that this was the gun cable, and the only one in which damage might escape detec- tion while the ship was in harbour?
mdp.39015063514650	Royal Aircraft Factory engine( R.A.F.)?
mdp.39015063514650	See?"
mdp.39015063514650	Shall I grant leave?"
mdp.39015063514650	Shall I telephone to my office and say that I shall be unavoidably detained from duty for an indefinite time?'
mdp.39015063514650	Shall I tell you how I got my information through?
mdp.39015063514650	Stop?
mdp.39015063514650	Sure you have n't a bee in your bonnet, Dawson?
mdp.39015063514650	TREHAYNE'S LETTER 115 could I remain the lover of an English girl without telling her fully and frankly exactly what I was?

mdp.39015063514650	The Antigone?
mdp.39015063514650	The French officer approached, saluted, and bowed:"Is it permitted, madame, to inconvenience you?"
mdp.39015063514650	The point is: what am I to do?
mdp.39015063514650	Was it not that I would not put upon you the pain and humiliation of arrest at the hands, of your own sons and brothers?
mdp.39015063514650	We know a man whom we think is the genuine article — but is he?
mdp.39015063514650	What about her?
mdp.39015063514650	What are you?
mdp.39015063514650	What do you say, gentlemen?"
mdp.39015063514650	What do you say?
mdp.39015063514650	What do you want of us?"
mdp.39015063514650	What do you want — martial law?"

mdp.39015063514650	What is it?
mdp.39015063514650	What is now the game that you want to play off on the old man as a proof of your unapproachable loyalty?"
mdp.39015063514650	What sort of person should you say made those drawings and wrote that description?"
mdp.39015063514650	When you get upon a track which seems promising, follow it up, and do not be — what shall I say? — do not be too squeamish.
mdp.39015063514650	Where have you served?"
mdp.39015063514650	Whose wires have been cut?
mdp.39015063514650	Why again should he hesitate over his name, and then give so impossible a one as Rouille?
mdp.39015063514650	Why could you not have told him the truth?"
mdp.39015063514650	Why did I send Trehayne to the Anti- gone?"
mdp.39015063514650	Why did she not ask him point blank what he was doing in that galley?
mdp.39015063514650	Why has he a mother in Essex, and why has she died just now?
mdp.39015063514650	Why is this?"
mdp.39015063514650	Why on earth do you suppose I came here to- day if it were not to enlist your help?
mdp.39015063514650	Why should not madame have given it to him if she wished to write that which she was too modest to say?"

hvd.hwxq93	-the cold bore of a revolver barrel touched her temple and wrung a quaking gasp of terror from her—Do you feel that?
hvd.hwxq93	And do they say that?
hvd.hwxq93	And so you are that great man Cleek, are you?
hvd.hwxq93	Another? hvd.hwxq93 By gums, guv'ner,"Dollops added as he looked down on the whirling waters,"what an egg- beater it would make, would n't it, sir?
hvd.hwxq93	Ca n't you grasp the situation? hvd.hwxq93 Do you not remember what I said, madame?
hvd.hwxq93	Do you think I could persuade anybody if a third man perished? ” said the baronet, answering one question with another. hvd.hwxq93 Father,"he said,"am I to do the trick to- night?
hvd.hwxq93	Has anybody else entered or attempted to enter the house? ” “ Not a soul, ” replied Miss Lorne. hvd.hwxq93 Henry, will you never be warned; never take these awful lessons to heart?
hvd.hwxq93	How did I guess it? ” said Cleek, replying to the major's query, as they sat late that night discussing the affair. hvd.hwxq93 How did I suspect it?
hvd.hwxq93	How did it all start? hvd.hwxq93 How did the Earl of Wynraven's son come to meet this singularly fascinating lady, and where? ”"In Turkey or Arabia, I forget which.
hvd.hwxq93	I said the assassin was a fool; I said the blunders made it possible for the case to be concluded to- night, did I not? hvd.hwxq93 Is anybody interested in your not putting Black Riot into the field on Derby Day?
hvd.hwxq93	It did come, then? ” CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 159 “ Yes. hvd.hwxq93 Johnston, stop!- turn round!-are you out of your head?
hvd.hwxq93	Just have a look at it, will you? hvd.hwxq93 Lady Wilding, will you oblige me by standing here?
hvd.hwxq93	Now, what are you after, you goat? hvd.hwxq93 Oh, that? ” laughed the old man, turning round and seeing to what he was alluding.
hvd.hwxq93	We shall find your master in his sitting- room, I suppose, my em- bryo Vidocq? ”Speaking to me, sir?
hvd.hwxq93	We shall find your master in his sitting- room, I suppose, my em- bryo Vidocq? ”Speaking to me, sir?
hvd.hwxq93	Who the deuce asked you for your opinion? ” rapped out theseñor ” savagely.
hvd.hwxq93	Why? hvd.hwxq93 — to the chauffeur—"Lanisterre, do you hear? ” “ Oui, monsieur. ” “ Give her her head and get to the mill as fast as you can.
hvd.hwxq93	'Ere you are, Miss Lorne- lay hold of his little lordship, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	258 CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE “ Coriander?
hvd.hwxq93	: CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 187"Have you come yet, Mr. Cleek? ” he called out, as he shut the door and stood in the pitch- black hall.
hvd.hwxq93	A double quick change?
hvd.hwxq93	A great hurry, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	A man to get a magic belt; to put it on, and then CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 163 to melt away?
hvd.hwxq93	A woman of that class? ”"Pardon me, sir, but you have, for all your cleverness, fallen a victim to the prevailing error.
hvd.hwxq93	After CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 45 “ Clodoche?
hvd.hwxq93	Ai n't et summink wot's disagreed with you, have you, sir? ” “ I?
hvd.hwxq93	Ai n't et summink wot's disagreed with you, have you, sir? ” “ I?
hvd.hwxq93	Ai n't got such a thing as a biscuit CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 97 about yer, have you?
hvd.hwxq93	All ready there, Marguerite?
hvd.hwxq93	All ready, Mr. Narkom?
hvd.hwxq93	An absurb belief, to be sure, but who can argue with a superstitious people or hammer wisdom into the minds of babies?
hvd.hwxq93	And a whacking big one, too. ” “ And Lady Wilding is, of course, the beneficiary? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hwxq93	And even if I had I could n't have bolted it on the inside after I'd left it, could I?
hvd.hwxq93	And he went into that compartment with his victim! ” “ Yes; but, man alive, how did he get out?
hvd.hwxq93	And in London?
hvd.hwxq93	And sheah, monsieur, why is she always with him?
hvd.hwxq93	And that has been lost, that gem so dear to Mauravania's people, so important to Mauravania's crown? ” to Mauravanin, dear to Mauro est.
hvd.hwxq93	And what can that have to do with your impoverished state? ”"It has everything to do with it.
hvd.hwxq93	And what does all that gibberish and that word'Ayupee'mean? ”"Nothing- nothing.
hvd.hwxq93	And what's a Brazilian doing in the army of the Kaiser?
hvd.hwxq93	And who so likely to be the guardian of these as the Baron de Carjorac?
hvd.hwxq93	And why not?
hvd.hwxq93	And why should he include me? ”"I do n't know,"said Narkom in reply.
hvd.hwxq93	And yet- and yet- Ah, monsieur, how can I fail to feel as I do when this change in the lion came with that man's coming?
hvd.hwxq93	And you were our last hope, too! ” “ Why give it up then, Miss Lorne?"
hvd.hwxq93	And you will, Mr. Cleek, and you will, wo n't you?
hvd.hwxq93	And, Mr. Narkom. ” “ Yes, old chap? ” “ Do me a favour, please.
hvd.hwxq93	And, oh, I say, guy'ner? ” “ Yes? ” said Cleek inquiringly, stopping in his two- steps- at- a- time ascent of the stairs.
hvd.hwxq93	And, oh, I say, guy'ner? ” “ Yes? ” said Cleek inquiringly, stopping in his two- steps- at- a- time ascent of the stairs.
hvd.hwxq93	And- Mr. Narkom? ” “ Yes? ”"We'll stick to the name'George Headland'if you please.
hvd.hwxq93	And- Mr. Narkom? ” “ Yes? ”"We'll stick to the name'George Headland'if you please.
hvd.hwxq93	Anything else? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	Are we to fly at once to the mill and join him?
hvd.hwxq93	Are you here? ” And again the silence alone answered him.
hvd.hwxq93	Are your sympathies with the unfortunate so keen, monsieur, that even this stray cur may claim them? ”"Perhaps,"replied Cleek enigmatically.
hvd.hwxq93	As a matter of fact, it was through him that Fordyce got to know the dad and became in- terested in his case, and What's that?
hvd.hwxq93	As for his identification of the body- well, if the widow herself could find points of undisputed resemblance, why not he?
hvd.hwxq93	At once, at once, do you hear?
hvd.hwxq93	Ayupee! yes, assuredly, Ayupee! ” “ What the dickens are you talking about, Cleek?
hvd.hwxq93	Bawdrey?"
hvd.hwxq93	Better? ” “ No, I'm afraid not, doctor,"replied the old seaman.
hvd.hwxq93	Better? ” “ Yes- much,"said Mrs. Bawdrey in reply.
hvd.hwxq93	Bully boy! ” “ It's a compact, then? ” “ It's a compact- Cleek. ” “ Thank you, ” he said in a choked voice.
hvd.hwxq93	But about this letter?
hvd.hwxq93	But enlighten me upon a puzzling point, Sir Henry: What do you use coriander and oil of sassafras for in a stable?"
hvd.hwxq93	But how?
hvd.hwxq93	But is there anybody who would have a. particular interest in your failure? ” “ Yes — one: Major Lambson- Bowles, owner of Min-- now.
hvd.hwxq93	But tell me, does she show no anxiety, no fear of a search? ” “ None, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	But the question is, when did he get in and how did he get out?
hvd.hwxq93	But then I do not care to get on the back of one, so why? ” “ Oh, you know very well what I mean,"he rapped out angrily.
hvd.hwxq93	But what interest could she or any of her tribe have in the death of Lady Chep- stow's little son?
hvd.hwxq93	But what of it?
hvd.hwxq93	But what of that?
hvd.hwxq93	But what?
hvd.hwxq93	But yes, vat shall that mean- eh?"
hvd.hwxq93	But, pardon me, have you met with an accident, Mr. Bawdrey?
hvd.hwxq93	By what means?
hvd.hwxq93	By what means? ” 288 CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE “ Get spades, forks, anything, and dig a hole outside in the paddock, ” he went on.
hvd.hwxq93	CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 205 “ Why'hopelessly,'Mr. Narkom?
hvd.hwxq93	CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 218 “ Were you? ” said Cleek, a trifle testily.
hvd.hwxq93	CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 331 How has it come about?
hvd.hwxq93	Ca n't you do some- thing?
hvd.hwxq93	Ca n't you see how nervous, how frightened I am?
hvd.hwxq93	Ca n't you suggest something?
hvd.hwxq93	Call this sort of tomfoolery being protected by the police?
hvd.hwxq93	Can you take me there? ”"Certainly.
hvd.hwxq93	Can you, monsieur, can you? ” “ Watch for the light at the window, count.
hvd.hwxq93	Captain Morrison is heir- at- law, and that poor girl will benefit. ” “ There was an estate, then? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	Captain and Mrs. Glossop were giving a reception, and Her Grace of Heatherlands was there? ” “ Yes — as their guest.
hvd.hwxq93	Case?"
hvd.hwxq93	Cleek?
hvd.hwxq93	Cleek?"
hvd.hwxq93	College man, are n't you?
hvd.hwxq93	Could any man'go straight with a fateful gift like that if the laws of Nature said that he should not?"
hvd.hwxq93	Could n't manage to take me round behind the scenes, so to speak, if Mr. Narkom will lend us his motor to hurry us there?
hvd.hwxq93	Could, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	Dear God in heaven, Mr. CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 125 Cleek, what are you hinting at?"
hvd.hwxq93	Dear God, can this be true?".
hvd.hwxq93	Did Ulchester take kindly to this housing of the mummy of his father- in- law and the eventual coffin of his wife?
hvd.hwxq93	Did he come?
hvd.hwxq93	Did she? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	Did the men on guard hear no cry?"
hvd.hwxq93	Did yourself out of a share in a reward of two hundred quid when you'd only to shut your hands and hold on to it! ” “ Two hundred quid?
hvd.hwxq93	Do I puzzle you by that?
hvd.hwxq93	Do it?
hvd.hwxq93	Do look at it, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	Do me a favour, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	Do n't mind if I sit in that corner and draw the curtain a little, do you? ” his frank, boyish face suddenly clouding.
hvd.hwxq93	Do n't you hear, you idiot?"
hvd.hwxq93	Do n't you see the answers, the acknowl- edgments, in the'Personal columns of the papers now and again?
hvd.hwxq93	Do you grasp it? ”"Not in the least. ” “ Bothered if I do either, ” supplemented Sharpless.
hvd.hwxq93	Do you know me?
hvd.hwxq93	Do you know who you had in your hands?
hvd.hwxq93	Do you know who you let go?
hvd.hwxq93	Do you know?
hvd.hwxq93	Do you mean that ripping old firebrand? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	Do you mind? ” “ Of a certainty not, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	Do you think I could get to see it some time without either? ” “ Yes, certainly you can.
hvd.hwxq93	Do you think the riddle you have brought is beyond my powers? ”"Oh, no; not that- never that! ” he made reply.
hvd.hwxq93	Do you understand? ” The response to this fairly took the wind out of him.
hvd.hwxq93	Do, pray, tell me what it all means, what you make of this amazing case? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	Does your father do so, too? ”"Oh, no!
hvd.hwxq93	Dol Oh, there you are at last, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	Doubtless you have heard of that? ” “ Yes, ” said Cleek.
hvd.hwxq93	Eh? ”"I am sure of it.
hvd.hwxq93	Facts! ” “ Facts?
hvd.hwxq93	Feel that you can rely on Logan, do you? ”"To the last grasp.
hvd.hwxq93	Friends or relatives? ”"Neither, I'm afraid.
hvd.hwxq93	From whose hand? ” “ I do n't know!
hvd.hwxq93	Give me a start, give me a chance, give me a lift on the way up! ” “ Good heaven, man, you — you do n't mean?"
hvd.hwxq93	Got any more amazing things, gems, I mean, like that wonderful scarab?
hvd.hwxq93	Has he been here?
hvd.hwxq93	Has he succeeded?
hvd.hwxq93	Has it anything to do with the case you have in hand? ” “ Anything to do with it?
hvd.hwxq93	Has it anything to do with the case you have in hand? ” “ Anything to do with it?
hvd.hwxq93	Has she come out of her retirement yet? ” “ Yes, Mr. Cleek.
hvd.hwxq93	Have Gaston and Serpice arrived yet with the rest of the document, Margot la reine? ” “ Not yet, ” she answered.
hvd.hwxq93	Have you any idea?
hvd.hwxq93	Have you caught him?
hvd.hwxq93	Have you found such things here? ” “ No; simply smelt them.
hvd.hwxq93	He talks well, he sings well, he is very hand- some and- well, what difference can it make to you?
hvd.hwxq93	He'd not be expectin'a stable to be scented with eau de cologne, would he?
hvd.hwxq93	Heaven forbid it, of course, but if any- thing should happen to Logan to- night, who would you put on guard over the horse to- morrow?"

hvd.hwxq93	Hide the pearl in it?
hvd.hwxq93	Hopes of what? ” “ That some time you'll come for the guy'ner to investigate a crime wot's been committed in a cookshop, sir- and then, wot ho!
hvd.hwxq93	How are they managing it, those two?
hvd.hwxq93	How can you?
hvd.hwxq93	How could the tossing of that coin have settled the sex of the wearer of those garments? ” “ My dear Major, it is an infallible test.
hvd.hwxq93	How did the duchess come to have the Siva stones in her personal possession at that time?
hvd.hwxq93	How did you get them out of the house? ” “ I have not done so yet. ” “ But can you?
hvd.hwxq93	How did you get them out of the house? ” “ I have not done so yet. ” “ But can you?
hvd.hwxq93	How does the lady take it?
hvd.hwxq93	How is the poor old dear this morning, darling?
hvd.hwxq93	How, then, could you guess?"
hvd.hwxq93	Hungry still, Dollops?"
hvd.hwxq93	I am sure it makes interesting read- CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 321 Avenge his death?
hvd.hwxq93	I confess I have n't the ghost of an idea regard- ing the case, captain; but if you do n't mind letting your daughter show me the room""Mind?
hvd.hwxq93	I could n't sell them, could I, marked things that every 282 CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE diamond dealer in the world knows?
hvd.hwxq93	I said in the beginning that this was either a case of swindling or a case of murder, did I not?
hvd.hwxq93	I said, did I not, that I wanted to win her, wanted to be worthy of her, wanted to climb up and stand with her in the light?
hvd.hwxq93	I say, Mr. Narkom, do give me a cup of tea, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	I say, guv'ner, take off his silver wristlets, will you, sir, and lemme have jist ten minutes with him on my own?
hvd.hwxq93	I say, sir, ” agitatedly,"look wot's wrote on the envellup, will yer?
hvd.hwxq93	I should have thought he could have managed that, should n't you, Mr. Narkom, if he could have managed the business of making him melt into thin air?
hvd.hwxq93	I suppose you know that my uncle, Sir Horace Wyvern, married again last spring?
hvd.hwxq93	I suppose, Mr. Headland, that Mr. Narkom has told you something about the case? ” “ A little- a very little indeed.
hvd.hwxq93	I want to climb up to her, to win her, be worthy of her, and to stand beside her in the light. ” “ Her?
hvd.hwxq93	I, too! ” “ You, Miss Lorne? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	If it turns out as I hope, this little riddle will be solved to- morrow. ” “ But how, Mr. Cleek?
hvd.hwxq93	If they are Well, I shall either have the Siva stones in my hand before eight o'clock to- night, or-"“ Yes, old chap?
hvd.hwxq93	In that safe? ” “ No, ” replied Sir Horace.
hvd.hwxq93	Intends to take no further step toward proy- ing it? ” “ It has been proved to her satisfaction.
hvd.hwxq93	Is he dead? ”"I hope so,"responded the major fervently.
hvd.hwxq93	Is it done? ” “ Yes, yes, yes! ” shouted back Serpice, throwing up his cap and capering.
hvd.hwxq93	Is n't he about? ” 306 CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE"Not just at present; be in to tea, though.
hvd.hwxq93	Is nothing else possible?
hvd.hwxq93	Is she safe? ” ex- claimed Sharpless excitedly, as he whirled away from his cousin's side and bore down upon the baronet.
hvd.hwxq93	Is that agreeable, Mr. Van Nant? ” “ Quite, Mr. Headland.
hvd.hwxq93	Is that the letter in your hand?
hvd.hwxq93	Is the old captain's malady a natural one, in spite of all these suspicions?
hvd.hwxq93	Is there any- thing we can do to help? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	Is this the door of the picture gallery, Sir Horace? ” “ Yes, ” answered Sir Horace, as he fitted a key to the lock.
hvd.hwxq93	Is this the way?"
hvd.hwxq93	Is this the welcome you give the bringer of fortune, Margot? ” “ But from the sewer? ” she repeated.
hvd.hwxq93	Is this the welcome you give the bringer of fortune, Margot? ” “ But from the sewer? ” she repeated.
hvd.hwxq93	It could not have happened then! ” “ Villa de Carjorac?
hvd.hwxq93	It is not the Cracksman- it is the real Clodoche we have killed! ” and a The hair is reais ou saying? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	It may be that he will stumble upon something of importance — who knows?
hvd.hwxq93	It was a significant glance, and said as plainly as so many words: “ What do you think of it?
hvd.hwxq93	It was horribly disfigured by contact with the piers and passing vessels, but she and Anita- and- and my son- “ Your son, Major?
hvd.hwxq93	It's after nine already, so he'll soon be here. ” “ Anybody a- comin'with him, sir? ”"I do n't know, he did n't say.
hvd.hwxq93	Just look at it, will you, old chap?"
hvd.hwxq93	Landlady, see that we are not disturbed, will you, and that nobody is admitted but the parties I mentioned?"
hvd.hwxq93	Last night I drugged every man in it, and I found out. ” “ But how? ” “ By finding the one who could not sleep stretched out at full length.
hvd.hwxq93	Let me put it on your shoulder, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	Let's have a game of'Slap Hand,'you and I- what?
hvd.hwxq93	Look here, Captain Travers; what do you think of this fellow's little game?
hvd.hwxq93	Look here, Mrs. Bawdrey; look here, Captain Travers; what do you think of a little rat like this?"}
hvd.hwxq93	Look here, do you know who you're dealing with now?
hvd.hwxq93	Lost in speculation?
hvd.hwxq93	Mates?
hvd.hwxq93	May I trouble you for a pin?
hvd.hwxq93	Mr. Cleek, are you here?
hvd.hwxq93	Mr. Narkom, is your motor ready?
hvd.hwxq93	Mr. Narkom”-he turned to the superintendent—"keep an eye on Dollops for me, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	My God, what are they doing it with?
hvd.hwxq93	My dear Cleek, you do n't believe that the man has been murdered?"
hvd.hwxq93	My life is changed forever. ”"In the name of Heaven, man, who and what are you? ” “ Cleek — just Cleek: let it go at that, ” he made reply.
hvd.hwxq93	My signal is already hung out; shall we agree to the conditions and give him yours?"
hvd.hwxq93	My very hope in life depends upon that. ” “ May I ask why? ” “ I am desirous of marrying his widow!"
hvd.hwxq93	Narkom could not the staircase, “ Dollops — Dollops, you snail, where are you?
hvd.hwxq93	Narkom, do me a favour, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	Narkom?"
hvd.hwxq93	Narkom?"
hvd.hwxq93	Narkom?"
hvd.hwxq93	Never heard of the case, Mr. Cleek. ” “ Did n't you?
hvd.hwxq93	Nobody can go by his looks; so how do you know? ” “ Know, you footler! ” growled Smathers disgustedly.
hvd.hwxq93	Not so much of a money grabber as that muff Headland wanted you to believe, is hemeh?
hvd.hwxq93	Now then, what is it?
hvd.hwxq93	Now what do you make of it?"
hvd.hwxq93	Now what's the password that Clodoche must give to Margot to- night at'The Twisted Arm'?
hvd.hwxq93	Now, if you please, Mr. Sharpless, will you stand beside her ladyship while I take up my place here immediately behind you both?
hvd.hwxq93	Now, the wig and beard, and after that What's that you say?
hvd.hwxq93	No‘smile'for your old Tom, is there, Nero, boy, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	Of course I agreed — who would n't for a mate at a time like that?
hvd.hwxq93	Oh, Mr. Cleek, can we?
hvd.hwxq93	Oh, Mr. Headland, do you think it is anything in the nature of a clue? ”"It may be,"he replied evasively.
hvd.hwxq93	Oh, Mr. Narkom, can this be true? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	Oh, monsieur, wizard though you are, can you get them past her guards?
hvd.hwxq93	Oh, who could have the heart?
hvd.hwxq93	Oil of sassafras?
hvd.hwxq93	One of my mates is a- signalling me. ” “ Mates, monsieur?
hvd.hwxq93	Only'grateful,'I wonder?
hvd.hwxq93	Or is there really any case at all?
hvd.hwxq93	Or not this week at all?
hvd.hwxq93	Or was he willing to stand for anything so long as he got possession of the huge fortune the old man left? ” “ He never did get it, Mr. Cleek.
hvd.hwxq93	Or what? ” “ Or the Hindu's got'em and they're already out of the country for good and all.
hvd.hwxq93	Or, if you have not, do you think your fiancée has? ” “ Why, yes,"he made reply.
hvd.hwxq93	Oxon or Cantab? ” “ Cantab- Emmanuel. ” “ Oh, Lord!
hvd.hwxq93	Pardon, but surely I have had the pleasure of meeting monsieur before?
hvd.hwxq93	Quite settled, both of you?
hvd.hwxq93	Ready with the motor, chauffeur?
hvd.hwxq93	Remem- ber me to Colonel Goshen when you go back to your rooms, will you?
hvd.hwxq93	Ripping of him, was n't it?"
hvd.hwxq93	Ripping, was n't it?
hvd.hwxq93	Seriously? ”"Oh, very, sir, very.
hvd.hwxq93	Shall I tell the ladies and gentlemen of your promise?
hvd.hwxq93	Shall we give him the pledge he asks, Sir Horace?
hvd.hwxq93	She is so satisfied of her husband's death that she deems no further question necessary?
hvd.hwxq93	Signalling?
hvd.hwxq93	Sir Horace, why did n't you think to tell me of this thing before? ” said Narkom excitedly.
hvd.hwxq93	So for the past three months I have been living here in Paris with Athalie and her father, the Baron de Car- jorac. ”"Baron de Carjorac?
hvd.hwxq93	So this dear, deluded old gentleman, having failed to secure a'rune'in Java brought back something equally cryptic — a woman?
hvd.hwxq93	Speak up, speak up, you hear?
hvd.hwxq93	Struggle, struggle, you goat, and save the film! ” “ Save the what? ” gasped Collins.
hvd.hwxq93	Suppose you could get your father not to sleep here to- night for a change? ” “ Would n't like to try.
hvd.hwxq93	Sure of it, Sir Henry? ”"Absolutely.
hvd.hwxq93	Surely she was not in- sane enough to keep the gems in the house with her? ”"No; she never did that.
hvd.hwxq93	Surely they have got the wretch at last?"
hvd.hwxq93	Surely when you see it you will be able to satisfy any misgivings you may have? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	Tell me I'll respect it- tell me, for God's sake, man, who are you?
hvd.hwxq93	Tell me what it is; if you want your life, tell me what it is? ” “ I'll see you dead first!"
hvd.hwxq93	That French lady, or the red- headed party in the gray suit? ” “ Yes, yes, of course I am.
hvd.hwxq93	That you have been reading about the prepara- tions for the forthcoming coronation of King Ulric of Mauravania?"
hvd.hwxq93	That's an ugly place you have on your palm. ” “ That?
hvd.hwxq93	That's the idea, is n't it?"
hvd.hwxq93	That's the sculptor fellow you said in the beginning had gone through his money, is n't it? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	That's what you might call'giving with both hands, Major, eh?"
hvd.hwxq93	That's why you have come to me, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	The Siva stones have ut- terly and completely disappeared. ” “ And no other jewels besides? ” “ Not a solitary one, Mr.
hvd.hwxq93	The beard is real?
hvd.hwxq93	The hair is real?
hvd.hwxq93	The legend runs, does it not?
hvd.hwxq93	The necessary sections to construct a sort of bridge could be packed in either? ”"Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	The next day?
hvd.hwxq93	The question is, which?
hvd.hwxq93	Them beauties?
hvd.hwxq93	Then Mr. Sharpless has been to South America, has he?"
hvd.hwxq93	Then who connected with the hall has been? ” “ Oh, I see what you are driving at, ” said Sir Henry, following the direction of his gaze.
hvd.hwxq93	Then:"Is that true, count? ” he asked.
hvd.hwxq93	There's another, eh? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	There's only one creature in the world I ever heard of as having a good word to say for the man. ” “ And who might that be?"
hvd.hwxq93	They will not come off?
hvd.hwxq93	This is Tuesday evening, is n't it?
hvd.hwxq93	This is a mis- fortune indeed. ” “ A misfortune, my friend?
hvd.hwxq93	Those must have been trying times, Lady Chepstow, for the commandant's wife, the mother of the commandant's only child? ”"Horrible!
hvd.hwxq93	Thought you had a noodle to deal with, did n't you, Mr. Philip Bawdrey?
hvd.hwxq93	To do a thing like that?"
hvd.hwxq93	To whom did he part with this gem, a woman? ”"Monsieur, yes!
hvd.hwxq93	To- morrow?
hvd.hwxq93	Two hun- W- what are you talking about?
hvd.hwxq93	Was he liv- ing in the same house with his fiancée, then?
hvd.hwxq93	Was n't it a kine- matograph picture, after all? ” “ No, you fool, no!"
hvd.hwxq93	Was n't it true?
hvd.hwxq93	Was the lady of his choice a native or merely an inhabitant of the island? ” “ Merely an inhabitant, my dear fellow.
hvd.hwxq93	Was the place his home as well as Cap- tain Morrison's, then? ” “ On the contrary.
hvd.hwxq93	Was there any mark on the door of the steel stall? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	Was there no struggle?
hvd.hwxq93	Well, Captain, and how are we to- day, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	Well, whatever other amazing thing have you'unearthed'?
hvd.hwxq93	What a detective he'd'a'made, would n't he, if he'd only a- turned his attention that way, and been on the side of the law instead of against it?.
hvd.hwxq93	What about me, old chap?
hvd.hwxq93	What are you doing, admiring the view or taking stock of Mrs. Culpin's roses?"
hvd.hwxq93	What are you doing? ” “ Compounding a felony in the interest of humanity,".
hvd.hwxq93	What are you giving me, you josser? ” said Collins, with a wink and a grin.
hvd.hwxq93	What are you talking about?"
hvd.hwxq93	What are you, dear friend? ” “ Cleek, ” he made reply.
hvd.hwxq93	What are you?
hvd.hwxq93	What can possibly have caused the good lady to do a thing like for the ar to P led t that?"
hvd.hwxq93	What circumstances? ” “ Two very extraordinary ones.
hvd.hwxq93	What could I want with the Siva stones?
hvd.hwxq93	What do you make of that? ” Cleek looked at him for an instant.
hvd.hwxq93	What do you think, Henry?
hvd.hwxq93	What for? ”"To leave one of his blessed notices, the dare- devil.
hvd.hwxq93	What furnace?
hvd.hwxq93	What game, Mr. Bawdrey?
hvd.hwxq93	What has happened? ” cried Lady Wilding, as she came hurrying in, followed closely by Sharpless and the Rev.
hvd.hwxq93	What is it that has happened to your countenance?
hvd.hwxq93	What is it that she is doing? ”"She's killing my old dad! ” he answered, with a sort of sob in his excited voice.
hvd.hwxq93	What is it?
hvd.hwxq93	What is it?
hvd.hwxq93	What is it?
hvd.hwxq93	What is it?"
hvd.hwxq93	What is the password of the brother- hood to the cause of Germany, stupid?
hvd.hwxq93	What lion- Nero?
hvd.hwxq93	What next, I wonder?".
hvd.hwxq93	What next?
hvd.hwxq93	What of him?"
hvd.hwxq93	What on earth can be his object?
hvd.hwxq93	What others?
hvd.hwxq93	What paralysed him, do you think? ”"Heavens knows.
hvd.hwxq93	What steps have you taken, count, to prevent this? ” “ All that I can imagine, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	What the dickens did I do with my key?
hvd.hwxq93	What the dickens did you mean just now when you spoke about the lion's change'and'the lion's smile'?
hvd.hwxq93	What the dickens is this?
hvd.hwxq93	What'her'? ”"That's my business, Mr. Narkom, and I'll take no man into my confidence regarding that. ” “ Yes, my friend, but ‘ Margot'? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	What'her'? ”"That's my business, Mr. Narkom, and I'll take no man into my confidence regarding that. ” “ Yes, my friend, but ‘ Margot'? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	What's driven you to a dog's life like this? ”"A natural bent, perhaps; a supernatural gift, certainly, Sir Horace,"he made reply.
hvd.hwxq93	What's his little game, I wonder?
hvd.hwxq93	What's it all about? ”"Necromancy- wizardry- fairy- lore- all the stuff and nonsense that goes to the making of'The Arabian nights'!"
hvd.hwxq93	What's next- eh? ” “ Only this, ” said Cleek quietly, making a feint of dropping his cane and stooping to recover it.
hvd.hwxq93	What's that?
hvd.hwxq93	What's that?
hvd.hwxq93	What's that?
hvd.hwxq93	What's that?
hvd.hwxq93	What's that?
hvd.hwxq93	What's un name, sir? ” “ Cleek. ” “ Hur!
hvd.hwxq93	What?
hvd.hwxq93	When Baron de Carjorac recovered his senses after his horrifying experience""That document was gone?"
hvd.hwxq93	When and how did it all begin? ” “ I think it was about eight months ago that Aunt Ruth wrote me about it,"the lieutenant replied.
hvd.hwxq93	When did you learn of it?"
hvd.hwxq93	When, sir- when? ”"When?
hvd.hwxq93	When, sir- when? ”"When?
hvd.hwxq93	When?
hvd.hwxq93	Where and how does that come in?"
hvd.hwxq93	Where are the jewels?
hvd.hwxq93	Where is he?
hvd.hwxq93	Where is the boy now?"
hvd.hwxq93	Where's the narker- where- where? ” “ Here, if anywhere!"
hvd.hwxq93	Which way did he go?
hvd.hwxq93	Who are they?
hvd.hwxq93	Who are you?
hvd.hwxq93	Who are you? ” “ Cleek, ” he made answer.
hvd.hwxq93	Who does not?
hvd.hwxq93	Who is he?"
hvd.hwxq93	Who is he?"
hvd.hwxq93	Who would be likely to connect him with the death of a beast- tamer in a circus, who had perished in what would appear an accident of his calling?
hvd.hwxq93	Who would not mother a thing that is to bring one four hundred thousand francs? ” “ Let me see it?
hvd.hwxq93	Who would not mother a thing that is to bring one four hundred thousand francs? ” “ Let me see it?
hvd.hwxq93	Who would, after having been promised wealth, education, everything one had confessed that one most desired?
hvd.hwxq93	Who's to tell as he are n't in with they devils as is after Black Riot?
hvd.hwxq93	Who, then, is in it?
hvd.hwxq93	Whose life, may I ask?
hvd.hwxq93	Why a'misfortune,'pray?
hvd.hwxq93	Why could not fate have spared the Villa de Carjorac?
hvd.hwxq93	Why did n't you say so in the beginning?
hvd.hwxq93	Why do you say that you do n't like it?"
hvd.hwxq93	Why does she curry favour of him and his rich friend? ” “ He has a rich friend, then? ” “ Yes, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	Why does she curry favour of him and his rich friend? ” “ He has a rich friend, then? ” “ Yes, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	Why in the world did n't you tell me in the first place? ” exclaimed Narkom irri- tably, as he glanced round the place searchingly.
hvd.hwxq93	Why, how could you?"
hvd.hwxq93	Why, oh, why were we ever driven to that horrible Château Larouge?
hvd.hwxq93	Why, then, was he being done to death?—and how?
hvd.hwxq93	Why?
hvd.hwxq93	Why?
hvd.hwxq93	Why? ” “ Nothing, but that it solves the riddle, and the lion has smiled for the last time!
hvd.hwxq93	Why? ”"Nothing, but, I've a whim to see the place, and without anybody's knowledge.
hvd.hwxq93	Will this way lead me out?
hvd.hwxq93	Will you do nothing for her? ” said an excited, an imploring voice.
hvd.hwxq93	Will you, Mr. Narkom?
hvd.hwxq93	Will you, therefore, be at 17 Sunnington Crescent, Wandsworth, this afternoon be- tween the hours of three and four?
hvd.hwxq93	Will you? ” “ Will I?
hvd.hwxq93	Will you? ” “ Will I?
hvd.hwxq93	Wo n't you and Mr. Narkom go up and search without me?
hvd.hwxq93	Wonder if it's yours, madam? ” glancing at Zuilika.
hvd.hwxq93	Wonder if there is any connection between the two? ” “ Should n't think so.
hvd.hwxq93	Would you mind letting him make the feint you yourself made a few minutes ago?
hvd.hwxq93	You ai n't a- going to tell me that he's been there?
hvd.hwxq93	You ai n't never went and forgot my name after all these months, have you, Mr. Narkom? ” said Dollops, not understanding the allusion.
hvd.hwxq93	You alone are to enter, remember that. ” “ To receive the jewel and the letter? ” eagerly.
hvd.hwxq93	You are going for a ride with me; and if- Oh, that's your little game, is it?"
hvd.hwxq93	You are still stopping in the house, you and your son, I think you remarked?
hvd.hwxq93	You ca n't possibly think that Abdul ben Meerza really did send the thing?"
hvd.hwxq93	You came in your limousine, of course?
hvd.hwxq93	You did?
hvd.hwxq93	You do n't mean to tell me that you had him, had him in your hands, and then let him go?
hvd.hwxq93	You do n't mean to tell me that you let them take you in like that- those two?
hvd.hwxq93	You grabbed him, did n't you- eh? ” “ Of course I grabbed him.
hvd.hwxq93	You hear that, my good ser- vitors?
hvd.hwxq93	You heard his scream, heard his fall, but he was dead when you got to him- dead- and you found no one here? ” “ Not a soul, Sir Henry.
hvd.hwxq93	You heard me signal you to head him off, did n't you?"
hvd.hwxq93	You held them?
hvd.hwxq93	You know that blessed room at the angle just opposite the library, the one with the locked door?"
hvd.hwxq93	You really do? ” “ Oh, I do more than ‘ hope,'count, I have succeeded.
hvd.hwxq93	You really hope to get the things?
hvd.hwxq93	You remember when I excused myself and went back on the pretext of having forgotten my magnify- ing glass the other day?
hvd.hwxq93	You took possession of them last night?
hvd.hwxq93	You'd think her heart was breaking, would n't you?
hvd.hwxq93	You're not going back on me, are you? ” “ Going back on you?"
hvd.hwxq93	You're not going back on me, are you? ” “ Going back on you?"
hvd.hwxq93	You're not going to ruin the show, are you, and after all the money I've put into it?
hvd.hwxq93	You've come for us, I suppose?
hvd.hwxq93	You, mon- sieur?
hvd.hwxq93	You- you do not mean to tell me that he caused that?
hvd.hwxq93	Your son? ”"Yes! ” replied the major in a sort of half whisper.
hvd.hwxq93	Yours? ” “ No,"he made reply, with a sort of groan.
hvd.hwxq93	a secret door?
hvd.hwxq93	and, also, why?
hvd.hwxq93	body does with him, sir, that I would n't do off- hand and feel quite safe. ” “ Even to putting your head in his mouth? ” queried Cleek.
hvd.hwxq93	do you think that you can find it in your heart to give it? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	here; I say, now, how do you know it was him?
hvd.hwxq93	or what?
hvd.hwxq93	then he is dead, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	there's a lotion, is there?"
hvd.hwxq93	what are you saying? ” “ The truth, mon roi — the truth!
hvd.hwxq93	what do you suppose that means? ” He knew in the next moment.
hvd.hwxq93	what is it?
hvd.hwxq93	what is wrong?"
hvd.hwxq93	what's that?"
hvd.hwxq93	when?
hvd.hwxq93	who?
hvd.hwxq93	why do n't you answer me, instead of staring at me like this?
hvd.hwxq93	will no one tell me what has happened? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	will not that hurry you, la reine?"
hvd.hwxq93	wo n't your missis be proud when you take her to see that bloomin'film?"
hvd.hwxq93	you never let him get away, did you?
hvd.hwxq93	you?
hvd.hwxq93	“ A little searching party of her own, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Ah, do you? ” she answered, with a scream of laughter.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Ai n't you found out even yet, you silly?
hvd.hwxq93	“ All serene, guy'ner? ” questioned that young man in an eager whisper.
hvd.hwxq93	“ An operation to be performed upon my baby boy?
hvd.hwxq93	“ And did n't?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ And he did hear of him, then? ” CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE 167 “ Yes,"replied Narkom.
hvd.hwxq93	“ And stop until you hear from me? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	“ And the letter, monsieur, the damning letter?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ And they said that no mystery was too great for you to get at the bottom of it, no riddle too complex for you to find the answer?
hvd.hwxq93	“ And what are you doing in here, anyhow?
hvd.hwxq93	“ And you want to find out if he really carried out that threat and did put an end to himself, I suppose?
hvd.hwxq93	“ And you?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Awful thing, was n't it?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Bad blood between you, then? ” “ Yes, very.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Bimbi says maybe he's going to be my daddy one day- did n't you, Bimbi?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ But how?
hvd.hwxq93	“ But one may expect them at any minute. ” “ Where is the fragment we already possess?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ But to save Mauravania's queen, monsieur?
hvd.hwxq93	“ But what's that got to do with drugging the whisky?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ But you'll come, wo n't you? ” exclaimed Sir Henry agitatedly.
hvd.hwxq93	“ By the Lord Harry, do you dare to assert that I- I sir- killed the man? ”"No, I do not.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Ca n't you? ” said Cleek, with a half smile.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Can I help you?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Catch on to that, Suburbs?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Circumstances?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Cleek in France?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Cleek! ” he said, in a voice that shook with nervous catches and the emotion of a soul deeply stirred, “ Cleek to take the case?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Cleek?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Clients? ” queried Cleek, as the door closed and they were alone together.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Collusion? ” queried Narkom's answering look.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Colonel Goshen, eh? ” he said quietly.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Competent surgeon, do you think? ” “ Who- Fordyce?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Competent surgeon, do you think? ” “ Who- Fordyce?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Dad?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Do n't you? ” he made answer.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Do you mean to tell me that is what kept you at home?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Does Marise pay you to sit there like mourners?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Does it lead into a passage or a room?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Does it? ” said Cleek.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Has that been lost? ” he said in a low, bleak voice.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Helping you?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Her what?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Here, ” tapping her bodice and laughing, “ tenderly shielded, mon ami; and why not?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Here? ”"Yes, unless you've been fooled, and let him get away!
hvd.hwxq93	“ Hopes?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Hungry, sir?
hvd.hwxq93	“ I have seen you often in London; and to find you here, like this?
hvd.hwxq93	“ I wonder if the chevalier himself would be as safe if he were to make a feint of doing that?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Is it a panel?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Is that a fact? ” queried Cleek sharply, glancing over at Miss Lorne.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Is that all, Miss Lorne, or am I right in supposing that there is even worse to come?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ It will be the story of last night over again, of course?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Knew, Mr. Cleek?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Maurice Van Nant?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Monsieur, you then are the great, the astonishing Cleek?
hvd.hwxq93	“ My dear Cleek, did you find anything? ” he queried as he took a seat beside him, and the motor swung out into the road and whizzed away.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Never ex- isted?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Nothing worth looking into, superintendent?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Of course, Carboys treated it as the veriest rubbish- who would n't?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Oh, Mr. Narkom, what was it — that noise I heard?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Oh, he did that, did he?
hvd.hwxq93	“ On your word of honour as a soldier and a gentleman, is that true? ” “ As true as Holy Writ, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Or, at least to have you point out the hiding- place of them? ” “ No; we should be shot down like dogs if I undertook a mad thing like that."
hvd.hwxq93	“ Others?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Related, by any chance, to that ‘ Colonel Goshen ’ who testified on behalf of the claimant in the great Tackbun case?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Ripping day, is n't it?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Rum sort of a thief, was n't it, to cut off with only half the booty?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Sir Henry,"he said, after a moment, “ may I ask how long it is since you were in South America? ” “ I?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Sir Henry,"he said, after a moment, “ may I ask how long it is since you were in South America? ” “ I?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Sir Horace came down to look at the furnace?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Sir Horace came down? ” she repeated, moving back a step and leaning heavily against the banister.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Slipping off, sir?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Smart capture, Bobby, was n't it? ” sang out a derid- ing voice that set the crowd jeering anew.
hvd.hwxq93	“ So the lady was of the careful and calculating kind?
hvd.hwxq93	“ So you failed to get the rascals, did you, Mr. Narkom? ” Cleek was saying.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Sometimes I am wild enough to suspect even Captain Hawksley, unjust and unkind as it seems. ” “ Captain Hawksley?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Surely you have heard what Mrs. Brink- worth has said about seeing him in town to- day? ” “ Yes, I have heard, Captain.
hvd.hwxq93	“ That Patagonian plant, eh?
hvd.hwxq93	“ That is your ladyship's son, is it not? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Then Fifi's husband is n't the only man with a grievance and a cause?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Then the blunderer shot the child instead of the native?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Then why should you? ” “ Because I can not help it, monsieur.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Then, monsieur, how are we to seize them?
hvd.hwxq93	“ There is a mauso- leum being built, is there not? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwxq93	“ To business? ” he repeated.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Well, what next?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Well? ” he said with a sort of gasp.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Well? ” said Cleek, as he came in.
hvd.hwxq93	“ What a trial he must have been to the glove trade, must n't he?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ What do you make of it, Cleek?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ What do you make of it, Mr. Cleek? ” “ Not much in the way of a clue, Sir Henry, a clue to any possible intruder, I mean.
hvd.hwxq93	“ What do you mean by saying that Sir Horace came down? ”.
hvd.hwxq93	“ What do you mean by that?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ What do you mean by'eating'him, Mr. Bridewell?
hvd.hwxq93	“ What do you mean by'that's all'?
hvd.hwxq93	“ What is the difficulty?
hvd.hwxq93	“ What monstrous juggle is this?
hvd.hwxq93	“ What shall you mean by that'going back on you', eh?
hvd.hwxq93	“ What's a horse, even the best, beside the loss of an honest life like that? ” and flung out a shaking hand in the direction of dead Logan.
hvd.hwxq93	“ What's on the other side of this?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ What's that? ” roared out the colonel furiously.
hvd.hwxq93	“ What? ” “ The condition of these two candles.
hvd.hwxq93	“ What?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ When you what? ” fairly yelled Smathers.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Which, of course, he declined to do?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Who and what was the man?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Who in this house could?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Who is responsible for that ridiculous assertion, I wonder?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Who told him that it does better in the atmosphere of a stable? ”"Lady Wilding's cousin, Mr. Sharpless.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Who?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Why did n't you say it was you, sir?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Why not go on letting me be your last hope your only hope? ” “ Yes, but they — they spoke of a funeral wreath."
hvd.hwxq93	“ Why should n't I know when I've been after him ever since he left Scotland Yard half an hour ago? ” CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE “ Left what?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Why should n't I know when I've been after him ever since he left Scotland Yard half an hour ago? ” CLEEK, THE MASTER DETECTIVE “ Left what?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Why should n't it?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Why?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Working out a problem, old chap? ” he ventured.
hvd.hwxq93	“ Wot's the lay now?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Yes; why not?
hvd.hwxq93	“ Yes? ” “ Do you happen to know where they come from?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ Yes? ” “ Do you happen to know where they come from?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ You are certain it is not a fancy, but an absolute fact? ” “ Yes; oh, yes! ” she made answer agitatedly.
hvd.hwxq93	“ You feel satisfied of that, do you not, my dear fellow? ” “ Thoroughly, Mr. Narkom; there ca n't be two opinions upon that point.
hvd.hwxq93	“ You found out?
hvd.hwxq93	“ You found them?
hvd.hwxq93	“ You have brought your motor, of course?
hvd.hwxq93	“ You hear that, Clopin?
hvd.hwxq93	“ You know me, then?
hvd.hwxq93	“ You looked into heaven, and- well, what then?
hvd.hwxq93	“ You think it was fired, then? ”"I do now, although I had no suspicion of it at the time.
hvd.hwxq93	“ You — you do n't mean that she- that Zuilika- killed him?"
hvd.hwxq93	“ You, is it, Mr. Narkom? ” Cleek said, as the anthem broke off at an agreed point, which point, by the way, was altered every twenty- four hours.
hvd.hwxq93	“ You, sir, are that great man?

mdp.39015000613680	I suppose you have the coins for disposal then? mdp.39015000613680 I think you have a tin opener, Mrs Bellmark?"
mdp.39015000613680	Is it something that you think I can help you with?
mdp.39015000613680	Mr Carlyle? mdp.39015000613680 Mr Carrados? ” he said inquiringly.
mdp.39015000613680	Mr Frank Whitmarsh? mdp.39015000613680 Oh, that proves that I was right?"
mdp.39015000613680	Or anything at all that is whitewashed? mdp.39015000613680 Perhaps in the circumstances,"suggested Bellmark nervously — “ you remember the circumstances, Elsie?
mdp.39015000613680	So you brought them to England? ”Si, Signor.
mdp.39015000613680	That was the first time you missed it?

mdp.39015000613680	What have they to lose by it, Max? mdp.39015000613680 What's the matter with the parlour now?"
mdp.39015000613680	Why the States, Max? ” “ That was a sighting shot on my part. mdp.39015000613680 Yes; it is rather sweet, is n't it?
mdp.39015000613680	You hardly imagine that I have not considered this eventuality, do you?
mdp.39015000613680	You hear someone coming up the steps?
mdp.39015000613680	You think something may come of it, sir? mdp.39015000613680 'What about the typist?' mdp.39015000613680 '” “ Even with a lion- handled it?

mdp.39015000613680	... Are n't you having me?
mdp.39015000613680	... Do you mean that Hutchins? ”"Neither Mead nor Hutchins.
mdp.39015000613680	... Have you any idea what my business is? ” “ You shall tell me, ” replied Carrados.
mdp.39015000613680	... You are very shocked, Mr Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	107 still? ” “ Yes, sir."

mdp.39015000613680	7436?
mdp.39015000613680	A small bottle, eh?"
mdp.39015000613680	About six. ” “ And do any of those- say, during the rush- do any of those run non- stop from Lambeth to Swanstead?
mdp.39015000613680	An Indian gentleman, I presume?"
mdp.39015000613680	And how do they come to pick on me?
mdp.39015000613680	And it is?"
mdp.39015000613680	And that blinded you?"
mdp.39015000613680	And this gentleman?
mdp.39015000613680	And why was it always so on Thursday? ” “ It had to do with the early closing, I'm told.
mdp.39015000613680	And your father? ” “ He never did.
mdp.39015000613680	And, besides, who's going to engage a lawyer?
mdp.39015000613680	And, finally, how is he possibly to deter- mine beforehand whether there is anything in my safe to repay so elaborate a plant?
mdp.39015000613680	Are n't you happy at this moment?
mdp.39015000613680	Are there a few yards of string hanging loose from it?
mdp.39015000613680	Are there any of the porters or officials about here?
mdp.39015000613680	Are you the; British Museum?"
mdp.39015000613680	Are you willing to give me a roving commission to investigate?"
mdp.39015000613680	Besides, why should n't you?
mdp.39015000613680	Besides, why should n't you?
mdp.39015000613680	Besides; I do n't want it to be known that I came to see you in any case. ” “ Why?"
mdp.39015000613680	Brickwill?
mdp.39015000613680	But at the moment the facts themselves monopolized his attention. ” “ You are not disappointed that I can tell you so little?

mdp.39015000613680	But is the incident closed?
mdp.39015000613680	But was the engine- driver responsible?
mdp.39015000613680	But what is the drift of all this? ” “ His clothes?"
mdp.39015000613680	But what is the drift of all this? ” “ His clothes?"
mdp.39015000613680	But why are you pitied?"
mdp.39015000613680	But why should there be?
mdp.39015000613680	But will anyone who can tell me be there now?
mdp.39015000613680	But you will come and clear my father's name? ” “ I will come, ” he replied.
mdp.39015000613680	But, I mean, how did he study his model?
mdp.39015000613680	But, I mean, how did he study his model?"
mdp.39015000613680	But, of course, that is all over now. ” “ You have broken it off?"
mdp.39015000613680	By what prescience was he to know at what exact minute his opportunity would occur?"
mdp.39015000613680	Can you see if my car is below?"
mdp.39015000613680	Can you tell me what he has achieved by that?
mdp.39015000613680	Clever fellow, that, what?
mdp.39015000613680	Could you not carry this one through?"
mdp.39015000613680	Creake,'he said,'oh, he's the man with the romantic typist, is n't he?'
mdp.39015000613680	Did he by any chance come here on Monday?
mdp.39015000613680	Did uncle tell you?"
mdp.39015000613680	Did you give them to me, Teddy? ” “ No, ” replied Straithwaite from the other end of the room.
mdp.39015000613680	Do I succeed in interesting you, Mr Drishna?"
mdp.39015000613680	Do I understand you to say that you will post me on the report of the case from Dover?"
mdp.39015000613680	Do n't you see how exciting it is becoming? ”"If you are excited already you do n't need much champagne, ” argued her husband.
mdp.39015000613680	Do n't you see, he will spot something?
mdp.39015000613680	Do you by any chance know Zinghi's in Mercer Street?"
mdp.39015000613680	Do you care to come round to dinner? ” “ Delighted, ” warbled Mr Carlyle, without a moment's consideration.
mdp.39015000613680	Do you care to see it? ” “ Please. ” Straithwaite left the room and Stephanie flung herself into a charming attitude of entreaty.
mdp.39015000613680	Do you happen to carry a revolver? ” “ Not when I come to dine with you, Max, ” replied Carlyle, with all the aplomb he could muster.
mdp.39015000613680	Do you know whether your brother- in- law has any practical know- ledge of electricity, Mr Hollyer? ” “ I can not say.
mdp.39015000613680	Do you think that you would be able to find me an oil lamp?
mdp.39015000613680	Do you think that you would permit me to choose the spot for it, Mrs Bellmark?
mdp.39015000613680	Do you want to see it before he goes?"
mdp.39015000613680	Does he call upon the authorities?
mdp.39015000613680	Does your cousin Frank smoke cigarettes?"
mdp.39015000613680	Does your theory in- volve the certainty of the fireman being killed, Louis?
mdp.39015000613680	Frank,"she called down the passage,"you're wanted. ” “ What is it, mother? ” responded a man's full, strong voice rather lazily.
mdp.39015000613680	HARRY THE ACTOR'S EXPLOIT 151 “ Suppose I happen to forget it?
mdp.39015000613680	Have you any idea what my business is? ” “ You shall tell me, ” replied Carrados.
mdp.39015000613680	Have you any idea whether Mrs Creake has real ground for it?
mdp.39015000613680	Have you ever tried to see a copy of a telegram addressed to someone else?
mdp.39015000613680	Have you got a photograph of Mr Creake?"
mdp.39015000613680	Have you noticed that you were pulled up oftener on a Thursday than on any other day? ” A smile crossed the driver's face at the question.
mdp.39015000613680	Have you seen him?"
mdp.39015000613680	He merely said:'Mr Straithwaite?'
mdp.39015000613680	He sat down, however, and added more quietly: “ But why do I tell you all this?
mdp.39015000613680	He sat down, however, and added more quietly: “ But why do I tell you all this?
mdp.39015000613680	He told me that he had had experience of coal in Natal. ” “ There was no absolute ostracism between you then?
mdp.39015000613680	How did you recognize me?
mdp.39015000613680	How do we proceed?"
mdp.39015000613680	How do you arrive at that?
mdp.39015000613680	How does that strike you for one of your own family, Mr Carrados?"
mdp.39015000613680	However, is it probable?
mdp.39015000613680	I am a blind man- I have n't seen my servant for twelve years — what idea can you give me of him?
mdp.39015000613680	I do n't think that you and I have met as yet, Mr Brebner? ” “ No, sir,"said the voice diffidently, “ but I have looked forward to the pleasure.
mdp.39015000613680	I fear that I must deny myself after all. ”"Is it important?
mdp.39015000613680	I had a sort of desperate faith that you would be able to vindi- cate papa. ” “ By the time of the inquest, you mean?"
mdp.39015000613680	I hope everything is all right?
mdp.39015000613680	I sent out for some tea, and in the course 168 MAX CARRADOS “ How long was she alone in here?"
mdp.39015000613680	I suppose it is large enough to burn for a whole evening? ”.
mdp.39015000613680	I suppose you happened to discover that Nina Brun had gone there?"
mdp.39015000613680	I think I have every- thing I want. ” “ You will excuse me a few minutes?"
mdp.39015000613680	I want you to go up the steps — there are steps up the signal, by the way?"
mdp.39015000613680	I wonder who else in the world would have done so much for a forlorn creature who just flashed across a few days of his busy life?
mdp.39015000613680	I, romantic?
mdp.39015000613680	If it is n't burglary, what motive could the man have for any such nocturnal perambulation?"
mdp.39015000613680	If, therefore? ”"Very well, ” acquiesced the manager.
mdp.39015000613680	In places it is scorched brown. ” “ Anything else?"."

mdp.39015000613680	Is he a good watch- dog, Louis?"
mdp.39015000613680	Is it not conceivable, Louis, that an even 148 MAX CARRADOS more remarkable series might be brought about by design?"
mdp.39015000613680	Is it one that is familiarly on the lips of the criminal classes?
mdp.39015000613680	Is that true?
mdp.39015000613680	Is the return of my irreplaceable notes on'Polyphyletic Bridal Customs among the mid- Pleistocene Cave Men to depend on a solitary director?
mdp.39015000613680	Is there a signal at either end of the platform?"
mdp.39015000613680	Is there anything in that way that I can do for you?
mdp.39015000613680	Is there anything you wish done? ” There was no time for deliberation.
mdp.39015000613680	Is there no one who can really say whether the thing is genuine or not?"
mdp.39015000613680	Is there nothing more that I can do now?
mdp.39015000613680	Is there something inherently comic about me or the atmosphere of The Turrets?
mdp.39015000613680	Is there — anything?"
mdp.39015000613680	It is all a mystery as yet. ” “ What is missing? ” asked Carrados.
mdp.39015000613680	It is not the necklace that the lady had insured. ” “ Not the necklace?"
mdp.39015000613680	It is too small, is n't it? ” “ Not necessarily.
mdp.39015000613680	It was to be a loan. ” “ A loan?"
mdp.39015000613680	Just now- look here, Baxter, ca n't you give me a line of introduction to some dealer in this sort of thing who happens to live in town?
mdp.39015000613680	KNIGHT'S CROSS SIGNAL PROBLEM 53 “ What are you doing, Max? ” demanded Mr Carlyle, his curiosity overcoming the indirect attitude.
mdp.39015000613680	KNIGHT'S CROSS SIGNAL PROBLEM 65 “ But what guarantee have we that he will not escape?"
mdp.39015000613680	Lastly, will you persuade your husband not to decline his firm's offer until Monday?
mdp.39015000613680	Let me know anything, and, if you see your chance yourself, come round for a talk if you like on- to- day's Wednesday?
mdp.39015000613680	MASTE?
mdp.39015000613680	May I ask if it has been effective?"
mdp.39015000613680	May we proceed?"
mdp.39015000613680	Mrs Straithwaite's — pearl necklace?
mdp.39015000613680	My country; O my country! ”"Is it really Monsieur Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	Not another scuttling case, Mr Hollyer?
mdp.39015000613680	Now do you know how this place is secured, Max? ”.
mdp.39015000613680	Now the other glove, Mrs Straithwaite; what became of that? ” “ An odd glove is not very much good, is it?"
mdp.39015000613680	Now the other glove, Mrs Straithwaite; what became of that? ” “ An odd glove is not very much good, is it?"
mdp.39015000613680	Now what do you think?
mdp.39015000613680	Now what do you want me to do, Max?"
mdp.39015000613680	Now what is it?
mdp.39015000613680	Now who goes through? ” “ Mr Hollyer will open the door for us.
mdp.39015000613680	Now your servants, Mrs Straithwaite?
mdp.39015000613680	Now, Louis, where does this Direct Insurance live?."
mdp.39015000613680	Now, Mead, what is he like?
mdp.39015000613680	Now, Mr Carlyle, where are we in this business? ” “ I have your letter of yesterday.
mdp.39015000613680	Now, you would like to see these men?. ” “ I expect so; in any case, I will see Hutchins first. ” “ Both live in Holloway.
mdp.39015000613680	Obviously, they could not both be right. ” “ Why, Louis?
mdp.39015000613680	One point- the glove? ” “ That was an afterthought.
mdp.39015000613680	Only a very stupid man can take hanging easily. ” “ What do you want me to do instead, Mr Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	Perhaps you, Mr Stoker?"
mdp.39015000613680	Read me the letter- press of the poster before us. ” “ This'Oxo'one, sir? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015000613680	Really?
mdp.39015000613680	Ring the bell again. ” “ Seriously?
mdp.39015000613680	Shall I ask Hutchins to come here to see you- say to- morrow?
mdp.39015000613680	Shall I read it for you?"
mdp.39015000613680	Shall I read it?
mdp.39015000613680	Shall you mind going down to the shops for a bottle?"
mdp.39015000613680	She brought her camera, of course- quite a small affair. ” “ And contrived to be in here alone?
mdp.39015000613680	She came here, of course?"
mdp.39015000613680	She will not?
mdp.39015000613680	So I broached the subject and said that I should like to have it now as I had an opportunity for investing. ” “ And you think?
mdp.39015000613680	So we are there?"
mdp.39015000613680	Some of those perhaps?"
mdp.39015000613680	Stephanie and I are finding that out, are n't we, dear?
mdp.39015000613680	Suppose Mr Bellitzer's confidential clerk happens to be the sweet- heart of your maid?
mdp.39015000613680	Suppose, for the sake of curiosity, that I decline?"
mdp.39015000613680	THE TILLING SHAW MYSTERY 219 “ You were even prepared to send an innocent man to the gallows?"
mdp.39015000613680	Take the case of your quite commonplace neighbour —""That is really what you came about?
mdp.39015000613680	Tell your sister that your leave is unexpectedly cut short and that you sail to- morrow. ” “ The Martian?"
mdp.39015000613680	That does not suit us, Mr Drishna. ” “ And how do you propose to prevent it?
mdp.39015000613680	That is, if you? ”"Thank you, I do, ” he replied.
mdp.39015000613680	That makes you smile?"
mdp.39015000613680	That makes you smile?"
mdp.39015000613680	That would argue a fairly intimate acquaint- anceship. ” “ But do you mean that he is going to direct a flash of lightning?"
mdp.39015000613680	That, surely, is n't Providence?
mdp.39015000613680	The cheque, of course, to be given immediately the goods are delivered?"
mdp.39015000613680	The date?"
mdp.39015000613680	The engine- driver is your client, of course?"
mdp.39015000613680	The jury were inclined to exonerate the signal- man, were n't they?
mdp.39015000613680	Then I closed the tin box again, took it back, locked up the safe and came out. ” “ Without notifying anything wrong?"
mdp.39015000613680	Then what else has he done? ”"What else, Max?"
mdp.39015000613680	Then what else has he done? ”"What else, Max?"
mdp.39015000613680	Then you do n't think there will be any trouble, sir?
mdp.39015000613680	There is much that we can only guess. ” “ That is all there is to know, Mr Carrados?"
mdp.39015000613680	There is no doubt that it is yours?"
mdp.39015000613680	There is no need for the services of both and so-"“ Is it settled?"."
mdp.39015000613680	There is no wad lying within sight?"
mdp.39015000613680	There is not much room for variety in that. ”"You noticed, in fact, nothing special by which Parkinson could be identified?
mdp.39015000613680	There is one to each safe, I think? ” “ Yes, so I imagine.
mdp.39015000613680	These things can not be simulated. ” “ You seriously suggest that the man was not Pro- fessor Bulge — that he was an impostor?"
mdp.39015000613680	This is not""It was a safety deposit?

mdp.39015000613680	Throwing kittens?
mdp.39015000613680	Unless, ” she added hopefully,"the turnip bed will do instead?
mdp.39015000613680	Was n't it about him and the Purloined Letter? ” Carrados smiled discreetly.
mdp.39015000613680	We may be leaving here very soon. ”"Just when you had begun to get it well in hand?
mdp.39015000613680	We may only have a few seconds before we are interrupted. ” “ What do you mean? ”.
mdp.39015000613680	Well —?"
mdp.39015000613680	Well, what is it you want to know?"
mdp.39015000613680	Well, what of that?
mdp.39015000613680	Were you referring to any particular point, sir?
mdp.39015000613680	What am I to do, Mr Carrados?"
mdp.39015000613680	What are you doing? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015000613680	What did it matter if he recognized?
mdp.39015000613680	What did you do, Mr Whitmarsh? ” “ I had n't gone there to quarrel, ” replied the young man, half sulky at the recollection.
mdp.39015000613680	What do I find?
mdp.39015000613680	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015000613680	What do you make of the thing? ” “ There is the second genuine string — the one Bellitzer saw.
mdp.39015000613680	What do you say, Teddy? ” “ Nothing, dear; it was only my throat ticking. ” “ I wore the pearls often and millions of people had seen them.
mdp.39015000613680	What has the company done with your man? ” “ Both are suspended.
mdp.39015000613680	What have you done on that line?"
mdp.39015000613680	What have you done? ” “ Nothing, ” replied Carrados.
mdp.39015000613680	What is being done?
mdp.39015000613680	What is he like?"
mdp.39015000613680	What is it?"
mdp.39015000613680	What is the explanation?
mdp.39015000613680	What jewellery did Miss Hutchins wear?
mdp.39015000613680	What of that?
mdp.39015000613680	What possible connexion is there between them?"
mdp.39015000613680	What reason have you?"
mdp.39015000613680	What time to- morrow shall I find you in, Miss Whitmarsh?
mdp.39015000613680	What was there for me to do?
mdp.39015000613680	What's on, I say?
mdp.39015000613680	What's that?"
mdp.39015000613680	What's the game, I say?
mdp.39015000613680	When we differ over any project upon which she has set her heart Stephanie has one strong argument. ” “ That you no longer love her?"
mdp.39015000613680	Where are the police?"
mdp.39015000613680	Where are you staying now?"
mdp.39015000613680	Where are you staying? ” Draycott hesitated.
mdp.39015000613680	Where does he live?"
mdp.39015000613680	Where next, Max?"
mdp.39015000613680	Where were you on Monday, Professor? ”"I was on a short lecturing tour in the Midlands.

mdp.39015000613680	Who are the guilty persons?
mdp.39015000613680	Who is he? ” “ Funny name,"replied Baxter.
mdp.39015000613680	Who recognized you, Nina? ” “ How should I know?"
mdp.39015000613680	Who recognized you, Nina? ” “ How should I know?"
mdp.39015000613680	Who, Max?
mdp.39015000613680	Why did you not tell me?
mdp.39015000613680	Why do n't he do something for his money?
mdp.39015000613680	Why have I heard nothing of it before?"
mdp.39015000613680	Why indeed?
mdp.39015000613680	Why on earth should he want to know about London?
mdp.39015000613680	Why?"
mdp.39015000613680	Will that suit you?"
mdp.39015000613680	Will you be serious and discuss it?
mdp.39015000613680	Would you like to test them?"
mdp.39015000613680	Wynn Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	Yes?"
mdp.39015000613680	You can show them to me?"
mdp.39015000613680	You do n't feel inclined to put me on the track of a mystery, Louis?"
mdp.39015000613680	You do n't know her, of course, Parkinson?"
mdp.39015000613680	You have seen him, of course?"
mdp.39015000613680	You must miss such a fearful lot. ” “ Has anyone else recognized you?
mdp.39015000613680	You really mean that?"
mdp.39015000613680	You regard me, Mr Carrados, either as a detected rogue or a repentant ass?
mdp.39015000613680	You remember the awful smash on the Central and Suburban at Knight's Cross Station a few weeks ago? ” “ Yes, ” replied Carrados, with interest.
mdp.39015000613680	You see the inference?
mdp.39015000613680	You see?
mdp.39015000613680	You think you will be able to clear me?
mdp.39015000613680	You want it repeated?
mdp.39015000613680	You were to some extent friends? ” “ Scarcely. ” She appeared to reflect.
mdp.39015000613680	You will not- you will not desert us? ”"I should have to stay a week, ” replied Carrados briskly, “ and I'm just off now.
mdp.39015000613680	You wo n't mind, will you?"
mdp.39015000613680	You would like the particulars of that?
mdp.39015000613680	You'll excuse me now, Mr Carlyle, wo n't you?
mdp.39015000613680	You've had to do with'expert witnesses,'I suppose?

mdp.39015000613680	do you realize that you are responsible for the death of scores of innocent men and women?"
mdp.39015000613680	he is here; what more do you want?
mdp.39015000613680	it is n't Max Wynn- old'Winning'Wynn?"
mdp.39015000613680	or 162 MAX CARRADOS “ Who is this, sir? ” demanded the exasperated professor at large.
mdp.39015000613680	tion if he thought in the dark that it was the arrival of the police — who knows?"
mdp.39015000613680	to know what I had?
mdp.39015000613680	you do n't mean to say that you have got Mead to admit it?
mdp.39015000613680	Ια? ”"Nein, nein! ” almost hissed the agonized official.
mdp.39015000613680	“ A sufferer like myself?
mdp.39015000613680	“ About deep enough, Mr Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Aha,'says Gian,'what have we here?'
mdp.39015000613680	“ An arrest hangs on it and nothing short of certainty is any good to me. ” “ Is that so, Mr Carlyle?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ An eagle carrying off a hare, a figure flying with a wreath, a trophy of arms?
mdp.39015000613680	“ And all were out on Tuesday evening?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ And having got me here, how do you propose to keep me? ” “ Of course that detail has received consideration.
mdp.39015000613680	“ And how do you know what to mark?
mdp.39015000613680	“ And now you know all that is to be known until Drishna arrives. ” “ But will he come?
mdp.39015000613680	“ And this glove, Mrs Straithwaite?
mdp.39015000613680	“ And we gave him cham- pagne! ” “ But nothing came of it; so it does n't matter?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ And what does that amount to?
mdp.39015000613680	“ And would you allow my man to go through into the garden- in case I require him?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ And you really do all the work of it yourselves?
mdp.39015000613680	“ And, apropos of that, will you show me over your garden before I go, Mrs Bellmark? ”"With pleasure, ” she assented, rising also.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Anything in it besides soil, Elsie?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Are they particular to a day? ” There was a moment's hesitation before Mr Carlyle replied.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Are you crazy?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Are you sure, Nina, that you have not brought a man from Scotland Yard instead?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Are your ears never hoodwinked, may I ask?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ As a matter of fact, ” explained the young man, “ the present tenant is under our notice to leave. ” “ Unsatisfactory, eh?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Beyond that who shall prophesy?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ But I have n't reached the end of my requirements yet, Miss Chubb. ”"No, sir?
mdp.39015000613680	“ But how the deuce did you know?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ But if it is, as it probably is, in Creake's pocket, how do you propose to get it?
mdp.39015000613680	“ But in the great Palace of Justice?
mdp.39015000613680	“ But it is wonderful. ” “ The even more celebrated Monsieur Dompierre, unless I am mistaken? ” retorted Carrados blandly.
mdp.39015000613680	“ But there was no particular reason why you should not?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ But this Glorie, so carefully trained?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ But we have no champagne, I suppose?
mdp.39015000613680	“ But what does it mean?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ But what is the use of defying fate, and who successfully evades his destiny?
mdp.39015000613680	“ But, I say, you are blind, are n't you?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ But... Mr Carrados"“ Yes? ” “ The inquest is on Monday afternoon.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Can not we trust our own eyes?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Can you see a way in?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Can you see any policemen inside?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Capital, was n't it? ” he replied.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Connected with the Arcady Theatre?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Could anything be more absurd?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Creake, Brookbend Cottage?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Did n't Whitstable?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Did you know that I was engaged?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do I look interested?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you care to see the garden?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you happen to have a wooden foot- rule convenient?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you know any of these insurance people at all intimately, Mr Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you mean literally blind?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you mean that?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you remember how we used to pile it up on that obtuse ass Sanders and then roast him?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you unearth many murders?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you unearth many murders?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you wish to make it natural?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Do you?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Does the restriction lapse now; will Mr Frank junior be able to mine?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Even if I had any reason to doubt, the internal evidence was convinc- ing, but how could I doubt?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Fill it all up again?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Ghoosh?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Gold might remain gold, but what imaginable use could be made of bank- notes after the end of the world?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Good heavens! ” he managed to articulate, “ how do you know?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Has any doubt been cast upon it?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Have I?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Have you ever reflected what human beings will think of us a hundred years hence?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Have you? ” “ In one or two cases I have perhaps been an accessory to the act.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Here are my family heirlooms — a few decent pearls, my grandfather's collection of camei and other trifles — but who —?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ How can we possibly take all this money, though?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ How do you come to know of Nina Brun and Lord Seastoke?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ How do you propose to get that telegram, Max? ” “ Ask for it, ” was the laconic explanation.
mdp.39015000613680	“ How does one know these things?
mdp.39015000613680	“ How ever did he do it?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ How ever did he do it?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ However, this is straightforward enough. ” “ Then, of course, you have not thought it worth while to look for anything else?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I alone can put the police in the right way of doing it. ” “ And you will do that, Mr Carrados?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I am here — what more do you want?
mdp.39015000613680	“ I can not be mistaken. ” “ Then can you tell me, without looking, what colour Professor Bulge's eyes are?
mdp.39015000613680	“ I do not accompany you, sir? ” he inquired, with the suggestion plainly tendered in his voice that it would be much better if he did.
mdp.39015000613680	“ I expect that there is a certain amount of repair needed? ” he said, after standing there a moment.
mdp.39015000613680	“ I have Uncle Louis's voice?
mdp.39015000613680	“ I have my lunch sent in. ” “ And this room could not be entered without your knowledge while you were about the place?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I have not been away a day this year. ” “ Meals?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I ought to be able to control myself 156 MAX CARRADOS “ Quite empty? ”"No."
mdp.39015000613680	“ I remember"“ Yes, Louis?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I simply drenched my handkerchief with it. ” “ You have other gloves of the same pattern?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I suppose Mr Greatorex is n't still here by any chance, Parkinson? ” he asked, referring to his secretary.
mdp.39015000613680	“ I suppose you are very fond of gardening? ” “ I detest it,"she replied.
mdp.39015000613680	“ I think it ought to be in every garden. ” “ Thank you — but is it worth while? ” replied Mrs Bellmark, with a touch of restraint.
mdp.39015000613680	“ I wonder if you happened to mark the order of these in the chambers?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ I wonder if you would allow me to send you a small hawthorn- tree?
mdp.39015000613680	“ If I am wrong, Louis, the next hour will expose it. ” “ But why- why- why?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Important? ” The line conveyed a caustic bark of tragic amusement.
mdp.39015000613680	“ In spite of? ”.
mdp.39015000613680	“ In what way? ”.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is he interested in aviation?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is it all bunkum, Max?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is it usual?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is it?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is n't it Louis Calling?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is n't that what you wanted of me?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is she unmarried?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is that sum contingent on any specific perform- ance?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Is there really anything in it, Max? ” he asked at.
mdp.39015000613680	“ It has become more intricate than you expected?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Late Flemish, is n't it?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Late Flemish, is n't it?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ MY DEAR FRIENDS,—-Aren't you glad?
mdp.39015000613680	“ May I inquire if it is a recent photograph of the gentleman, sir? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000613680	“ May I make a suggestion?
mdp.39015000613680	“ May I step out on to the balcony?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Me- I? ” she stammered.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Mean what?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Mr Baxter, I think?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Mr Carrados, you will get them back for us, wo n't you?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Mr Hollyer knows of my disability?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Mrs Bellmark, will you accept one thousand pounds as a full legal discharge of any claim that you may have on this property?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ My daughter, sir; you would n't have her not know?
mdp.39015000613680	“ My dear Dompierre, why beat the air with futile questions?
mdp.39015000613680	“ My dear Louis, ” he said, “ one- fifth of the mystery is already solved. ” “ One- fifth?
mdp.39015000613680	“ My dear Stephanie, what are you thinking of?
mdp.39015000613680	“ No indication of anyone coming to us from there?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ No; you told me yourself. ” 244 MAX CARRADOS “ I?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Oak boards, sir, with a heavy cross- beam. ” THE TILLING SHAW MYSTERY 205 “ Are there any plaster figures about the room?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Of course you will not mention this to Uncle Louis yet, Mr Carrados?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Oh, it is you, sir, is it?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Oh, whatever is the matter?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Oh, ” he commented softly, “ always; and it was quite a saying, was it?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Our tawny friend?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Paris, egad?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Possibly he did not get on well with his father?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Say the word? ” Carrados smiled and shook his head.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Shall Amy take a message? ” He acquiesced and turned to the servant who had appeared in response to the bell.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Shall I go? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Something in your line that France can take from us since the days of — what's- his- name- Vidocq, eh?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Sure I can be of no further use?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Surely it would have been an easy matter to have altered that afterwards?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Surely my man has got your name wrong? ” he exclaimed.
mdp.39015000613680	“ That is dated April the seventh?
mdp.39015000613680	“ That was your business all day- running between Notcliff and Ingerfield?
mdp.39015000613680	“ The Markham necklace?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ The State Antonio Five per cent, Bond Coupons?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ The great collector of the antiquities?
mdp.39015000613680	“ The next thing we knew of him was that he had taken the other house as soon as it was finished. ” “ Then he would scarcely require this?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ The papers and the glove have been with you ever since?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ The shooting gallery?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ The thing is, where do we stand? ” he remarked tentatively.
mdp.39015000613680	“ The windows are frosted?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Then Frank had his father's grievance over again. ” “ He wished to mine?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Then it is in the papers, after all?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Then what in the name of goodness are you talking about, may I ask? ” he demanded caustically.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Then why do n't you take him into the parlour?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Then you are not blind?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Then you desert me, Mr Carrados?
mdp.39015000613680	“ There is a tobacconist's shop directly opposite?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ There is. ” “ What do they sell on the first floor?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ They can be stopped, I take it? ” “ Stopped?
mdp.39015000613680	“ They can be stopped, I take it? ” “ Stopped?
mdp.39015000613680	“ This is a most important clue, Sir Benjamin-"Hey, what?
mdp.39015000613680	“ This scheme commended itself to you, Mr Straith- waite?
mdp.39015000613680	“ This was a safety deposit, nicht wahr?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ This was a string that I let Markhams send me to see if I would keep. ” “ The one that Bellitzer saw last Saturday?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Unless I am misinformed, you are not so ungallant as to include everyone you have met here in your execration?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Voices mean a great deal to me, Mrs Bellmark. ”"In recognizing and identifying people?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ We are not going direct? ” suddenly inquired Hollyer, after they had travelled perhaps half- a- dozen miles.
mdp.39015000613680	“ We are passing a hoarding, are we not?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Well, Max?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Well?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What can you or anyone else do anyhow?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What can you tell me about that?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ What colour were his eyes?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What did I tell you?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What do you make of it, Parkinson? ”.
mdp.39015000613680	“ What does he mean? ” he demanded pungently.
mdp.39015000613680	“ What does it involve?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ What does it matter?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What is in the papers, Louis?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ What is it that you really want to know?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What is that?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What is the ceiling made of?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What is the fee?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What next, Louis?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ What on earth has that got to do with it, may I inquire?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What shall I say?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What word will you take? ” Parkin- son, it may be said, had been left in the hall.
mdp.39015000613680	“ What you said about the revolver- that your father could not have had it?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What's this?
mdp.39015000613680	“ What, however, are the facts?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Where on earth am I to go now?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Where shall I be in reality?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Where were you at the time of the tragedy?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Who can say?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Who's the foreign gentleman he's bring- ing?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Why can not things be agreeable?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Why do you ask me that?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Why in heaven's name have we Markhams coming into it now? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Why, that actually was the number of his engine- how do you know it?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Why?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Why? ” “ Well, sir, we were always pulled up on Thursday; 42 MAX CARRADOS practically always, you may say.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Will it take long? ” he inquired carelessly, as he pulled on his glove.
mdp.39015000613680	“ Will you come into papa's room then?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Will you do it?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Will you go in, sir?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Will you try a cigarette?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ Would you like to see her?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Yes, but why could he not have it on Thursday? ” “ I noticed that it was gone.

mdp.39015000613680	“ Yes?
mdp.39015000613680	“ Yet how do you know, even now, that he is, as you say, an innocent man?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ You 2 MAX CARRADOS hardly remember me, I suppose?
mdp.39015000613680	“ You are prepared to put your own arrangements aside? ” he demanded of his visitor.
mdp.39015000613680	“ You did not visit High Barn? ” “ Oh no."

mdp.39015000613680	“ You kept the paper, of course?
mdp.39015000613680	“ You know?

mdp.39015000613680	“ You read?
mdp.39015000613680	“ You really mean this, Carrados? ” he said.
mdp.39015000613680	“ You really think that we ought? ” “ Of course we must, Roy.
mdp.39015000613680	“ You saw that girl- my own daughter, that I've worked for all her life? ” “ No,"replied Carrados.
mdp.39015000613680	“ You saw that, sir?
mdp.39015000613680	“ You see the whole sequence, of course?"
mdp.39015000613680	“ You still mean that_seriously?"

mdp.39015000613680	“ You wish to see over the house?
mdp.39015000613680	“ You wished to see me? ” said Drishna, unable to stand the ordeal of the silence that Carrados imposed after his remark.
mdp.39015000613680	“ You wo n't believe that there is nothing to explain- that it was purely second- sight? ”"No,"replied Carlyle tersely; “ I wo n't."

mdp.39015023537197	Oh dear, why did n't Simeon come?
mdp.39015023537197	Oh, did you? mdp.39015023537197 Oh, the steamer, you mean?"
mdp.39015023537197	Oh, what is it?
mdp.39015023537197	Please, what is it? mdp.39015023537197 Police?"
mdp.39015023537197	Ridiculous, eh? mdp.39015023537197 Shoals?
mdp.39015023537197	Sick? mdp.39015023537197 Simeon Coleman, you do n't mean to tell me you left that poor shipwrecked soul all alone in the dark?
mdp.39015023537197	So there is nothing between you and Dykes?
mdp.39015023537197	Sounds as if he really wanted to come, did n't it? mdp.39015023537197 Sounds like a car, do n't it?
mdp.39015023537197	Stirred up? mdp.39015023537197 Sup- per ready?
mdp.39015023537197	Sure? mdp.39015023537197 Then you will marry me — soon?"
mdp.39015023537197	Think he'll be back to- morrow?
mdp.39015023537197	Think not? mdp.39015023537197 Trouble?
mdp.39015023537197	Uncle Simeon,she begged,"will you please be sensible?
mdp.39015023537197	Uncle which?
mdp.39015023537197	Up in where?
mdp.39015023537197	Was this Coombes fellow with you when you left here this morning — or last night, or whenever you did leave — or was n't he?
mdp.39015023537197	Well, who would n't?
mdp.39015023537197	Well, whoever he is, I — Eh? mdp.39015023537197 Well,'tis older, ai n't it?
mdp.39015023537197	Well?
mdp.39015023537197	Wet?
mdp.39015023537197	What ails you? mdp.39015023537197 What are you going to do after you leave here?"
mdp.39015023537197	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015023537197	What are you talking about?
mdp.39015023537197	What did you say?
mdp.39015023537197	What do you mean?
mdp.39015023537197	What for?
mdp.39015023537197	What have you de- cided to do?
mdp.39015023537197	What in the world's that?
mdp.39015023537197	What is all this that is so important?
mdp.39015023537197	What is it?
mdp.39015023537197	What is it?
mdp.39015023537197	What is strange about it?
mdp.39015023537197	What is the joke?
mdp.39015023537197	What shall I do?
mdp.39015023537197	What was his name?
mdp.39015023537197	What was the name of that book that used to be on the shelf in the sitting- room closet when I was a kid? mdp.39015023537197 What?
mdp.39015023537197	Where have you been, I ask you?
mdp.39015023537197	Where is he nowadays?
mdp.39015023537197	Who is that with you?
mdp.39015023537197	Who — Why, hello, Emily Eh? mdp.39015023537197 Who, do you suppose?"
mdp.39015023537197	Why not? mdp.39015023537197 Why not?
mdp.39015023537197	Why not?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should there be any trouble?
mdp.39015023537197	Why, nothin'maybe, only — There is n't any- thing wrong, is there, Emmie? mdp.39015023537197 Why, what do you mean, Uncle Sim?"
mdp.39015023537197	Why? mdp.39015023537197 Why?
mdp.39015023537197	Why?
mdp.39015023537197	Wild life?
mdp.39015023537197	Wreck?
mdp.39015023537197	Wrong? mdp.39015023537197 Yes, Uncle Simeon?"
mdp.39015023537197	You ai n't chuckin'any asparagus at Lettie, are you? mdp.39015023537197 You haven't — I mean you have no rea- son for thinking there is, have you?"
mdp.39015023537197	You kept the books, did n't you? mdp.39015023537197 You told him that?"
mdp.39015023537197	You wo n't? mdp.39015023537197 You — you mean you are not going — to- morrow?"
mdp.39015023537197	You're Emily Blanchard, Miss?
mdp.39015023537197	You're sure? mdp.39015023537197 124 STORM GIRLAlways?
mdp.39015023537197	18 STORM GIRL"Well, what?"
mdp.39015023537197	256 STORM GIRL"Where on earth has he gone?"
mdp.39015023537197	68 STORM GIRL"You do n't know who that bird out there is, do you?"
mdp.39015023537197	82 STORM GIRL"Eh?
mdp.39015023537197	A little dizzy, that's all.... What was it, anyway?"
mdp.39015023537197	After all — she was thinking more coolly now — why should she fear Ed Coombes?
mdp.39015023537197	After all, life is pretty hopeless, is n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	After all, why should n't I be happy — really happy?"
mdp.39015023537197	After you are married, you will have a husband to pay the family expenses and I'm almost one of the family, do n't you think?
mdp.39015023537197	Afterwards — but what did afterwards matter?
mdp.39015023537197	Ai n't his first name Chester?
mdp.39015023537197	Ai n't started to put on airs, I hope, have you?
mdp.39015023537197	All taut and shipshape again, are you?
mdp.39015023537197	And I think he's real nice- lookin', do n't you, Emmie?"
mdp.39015023537197	And did you look at her?
mdp.39015023537197	And now what should she do?
mdp.39015023537197	And suppose he did not understand?
mdp.39015023537197	And three or four more scattered'round hither and yon?
mdp.39015023537197	And what do you suppose he said?
mdp.39015023537197	And what does he tell me?
mdp.39015023537197	And what had he meant by asking if there had been any trouble?
mdp.39015023537197	And what might happen to her after that, who could tell?
mdp.39015023537197	And why does he keep so still?
mdp.39015023537197	And why should n't she be?
mdp.39015023537197	And — Oh, what's that?"
mdp.39015023537197	And, if not, why not?
mdp.39015023537197	Are you sure?"
mdp.39015023537197	Are you well enough?
mdp.39015023537197	Be neighborly, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Beautiful but dumb, eh?"
mdp.39015023537197	Besides, how do you know I ai n't?
mdp.39015023537197	Better come clean, had n't you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Boy, she's a knock- out if I ever saw onel Who is she?"
mdp.39015023537197	Business all right?"
mdp.39015023537197	But I have as much chance as any other nobody?"
mdp.39015023537197	But how could he?
mdp.39015023537197	But now you do know it, so what can I say?"
mdp.39015023537197	But now —""Now?
mdp.39015023537197	But stay — how long?"
mdp.39015023537197	But the car — where was the car?
mdp.39015023537197	But what's all this about'firm's con- fidence'and'promotion and advancement'and'little mistakes'and all that?
mdp.39015023537197	But where — and how?
mdp.39015023537197	But who helped me cover up the job?
mdp.39015023537197	But, when you come to think of it, that kind of simplifies things, do n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	Ca n't you see Emmie is frightened half to death?"
mdp.39015023537197	Ca n't you see?"
mdp.39015023537197	Came from here in Trumet in the beginnin', did n't he?"
mdp.39015023537197	Can you walk as far as that?"
mdp.39015023537197	Can you, Auntie?"
mdp.39015023537197	Chet and his crew, you mean?
mdp.39015023537197	Danger for them?
mdp.39015023537197	Did n't Emmie tell you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Did n't use no words that parson do n't use every Sunday, did I?'
mdp.39015023537197	Did n't you hear me?
mdp.39015023537197	Did not believe —?
mdp.39015023537197	Did you say somethin', Em?"
mdp.39015023537197	Do n't you see what it would mean?
mdp.39015023537197	Do n't you want to?"
mdp.39015023537197	Do n't you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Do you get that?"
mdp.39015023537197	Do you suppose I do n't know why?
mdp.39015023537197	Do you think I can sit on the beach and watch him drown?
mdp.39015023537197	Dykes?"
mdp.39015023537197	Ed did not really care for her; how could he?
mdp.39015023537197	Eh?
mdp.39015023537197	Eh?
mdp.39015023537197	Emily, you will marry me, wo n't you?
mdp.39015023537197	Forgive you, my dear?
mdp.39015023537197	Givin'up her nice place there in Gloucester and everything?"
mdp.39015023537197	Go on, why do n't you?
mdp.39015023537197	Going to tell Captain Chester?
mdp.39015023537197	Had this menace been removed forever for her life, from her future — hers and Chet's?
mdp.39015023537197	Have n't got a Boston and Maine time- table around, have you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Have n't you been there at all?"
mdp.39015023537197	Have you read Frozen Souls?"
mdp.39015023537197	He could have had me arrested, they might have believed him, and then your name would have been — Oh, you see, do n't you, dear?
mdp.39015023537197	He just looked high hat at me through his spectacles and drawled,'Oh — 106 STORM GIRL er — do you think so?'
mdp.39015023537197	He leaned forward:"Look here,"he demanded, as if the suspicion had just occurred to him;"you have n't been talking, have you?
mdp.39015023537197	He scratched a match and observed,"Well, I guess that's about all, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	He.... Eh?
mdp.39015023537197	Heard enough, eh?
mdp.39015023537197	Heard from Emmie lately, have you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Heard from him?"
mdp.39015023537197	Her comin'back here this way, without writin'us a word?
mdp.39015023537197	Her face, I mean?"
mdp.39015023537197	His mother?
mdp.39015023537197	His motor's stopped, has n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	How about it?"
mdp.39015023537197	How about that letter?"
mdp.39015023537197	How about the wreck?"
mdp.39015023537197	How about this?"
mdp.39015023537197	How are things going here?
mdp.39015023537197	How can you?
mdp.39015023537197	How could he?
mdp.39015023537197	How could she help it?
mdp.39015023537197	How do you know there ai n't a Mrs. Sim Coleman up in — er — Green- land or somewheres cryin'her eyes out this minute?
mdp.39015023537197	How do you know what I knew — or may know when the time comes to do any swear- ing about what happened?
mdp.39015023537197	How does the idea strike you, Kitten?"
mdp.39015023537197	How much of this have you told Chet?"
mdp.39015023537197	How?... What am I doing down here?
mdp.39015023537197	I am your partner now in everything, everything, and —'"He paused, grinned maliciously and observed:"See, do n't you, Kitten?
mdp.39015023537197	I do n't know what you mean?"
mdp.39015023537197	I like that line, do n't you?
mdp.39015023537197	I mean nothin's happened to — to make you feel bad or anything like that?"
mdp.39015023537197	I'll leave my boat there and fetch her'round into the harbor later on Eh?
mdp.39015023537197	If he could help her; but how could he?
mdp.39015023537197	If you do I'll — I'll —""Eh?
mdp.39015023537197	It is really you, Em, is n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	It was brief, stating merely that he had gone away on a short business trip and that, if anything unexpected or urgent 40 STORM GIRL ticularly?
mdp.39015023537197	It will be all right, though, for me to drop in once in a while, as I've been doing, just to say hello to my neigh- bors?"
mdp.39015023537197	Just as liable as not to swear in front of the minister and when I scold him for it he looks innocent and says'Why not?
mdp.39015023537197	Little risky, is n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	Loathe me, eh?
mdp.39015023537197	Look at her face?
mdp.39015023537197	Look here, dear, you are n't sorry I know it, are you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Look here,"turning upon her savagely,"you do n't think I kept it on purpose, do you?"
mdp.39015023537197	My board and lodging?
mdp.39015023537197	Next month?
mdp.39015023537197	Next week?
mdp.39015023537197	No need for me to read any more, is there?
mdp.39015023537197	No trouble of any kind?"
mdp.39015023537197	No- body you knew amongst'em, was there, Sim- eon?"
mdp.39015023537197	Nobody has a chance, you say?"
mdp.39015023537197	Now what set me to talkin'about him?
mdp.39015023537197	Now what was her name?
mdp.39015023537197	Now what's the matter?
mdp.39015023537197	Now you would n't want Em's marriage to turn out that way, would you, Dizzy?"
mdp.39015023537197	Now, let's see — when did Coombes show up at the office the last time?"
mdp.39015023537197	Of all the pro- vokin'— Where on earth have you been?"
mdp.39015023537197	Oh, Dizzy?
mdp.39015023537197	Oh, my land, it ai n't the storm, is it?
mdp.39015023537197	Oh, why did that Myrick man have to pick you to prophesy about?"
mdp.39015023537197	Oh, will you stop and say something?"
mdp.39015023537197	One of the first questions asked an acquaintance by a youthful new arrival of the male sex was:"Who is that girl over there by the desk?
mdp.39015023537197	Or that he will enjoy having his wife jailed?
mdp.39015023537197	Please answer me — why do n't you?"
mdp.39015023537197	Proud of the old man, are you, Dizzy?
mdp.39015023537197	Read it and see for yourself.... Why are you shaking your head?
mdp.39015023537197	STORM GIRL 13"Storm?
mdp.39015023537197	STORM GIRL 231"What are you sittin'in the dark for?"

mdp.39015023537197	Say, Dizzy, why not fetch my meals to me on the back steps, same as you do the cat's?
mdp.39015023537197	Say, Emmie, he seems to have taken quite a shine to you; why do n't you marry him?
mdp.39015023537197	See?"
mdp.39015023537197	Shall we go to the shed and wait until the rain stops?"
mdp.39015023537197	She had not imagined — STORM GIRL 217 do n't you think you'd better decide to listen to the rest of my proposition and be reasonable?
mdp.39015023537197	She is that aunt you used to talk about so much, is n't she?
mdp.39015023537197	She will know he was a good prophet, wo n't she?
mdp.39015023537197	Simeon and I love to hear you say it, of course, only —""Only what, Aunt Desire?"
mdp.39015023537197	Simeon, what are we goin'to do for a cook this comin'summer?
mdp.39015023537197	Simeon, what does all this mean, anyhow?
mdp.39015023537197	So he did n't let you know he was going on the Blue Eyes, eh?"
mdp.39015023537197	So what?"
mdp.39015023537197	So why should it be deferred?
mdp.39015023537197	Suppose I swear that you were in with me in the whole business?
mdp.39015023537197	Suppose he has walked to the depot?
mdp.39015023537197	Sure of that?"
mdp.39015023537197	Sweet of me, Kitten, was n't it?
mdp.39015023537197	That do n't mean what I'm scared it does mean, does it, Emmie?
mdp.39015023537197	That sounds silly, dear, does n't it?
mdp.39015023537197	That they've gone to- gether, I mean?"
mdp.39015023537197	That we had fixed the whole scheme up together?"
mdp.39015023537197	That you helped me spend the plunder, know- ing all the time where it came from?
mdp.39015023537197	That's right, ai n't it, Em- mie?"
mdp.39015023537197	The one you lived with after your father died?"
mdp.39015023537197	The rest of it — well, what's the use of botherin'her about that?
mdp.39015023537197	The — er — Bluebell, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015023537197	The — er — eighteenth, was it?"
mdp.39015023537197	Then You do understand what I mean, do n't you?
mdp.39015023537197	Then all my worry would have been silly, would n't it?
mdp.39015023537197	Then why did n't you know, or at least suspect, what was going on?"
mdp.39015023537197	They pay to be made comfortable, do n't they?"
mdp.39015023537197	Think I have fifty dollars in my pocket so often that I ca n't keep account of what I do with it?"
mdp.39015023537197	Think he did n't look at another woman all that time, I suppose, eh?"
mdp.39015023537197	Think he will want to marry a girl who can be proved to be a thief?
mdp.39015023537197	Three days, eh?
mdp.39015023537197	Told you to leave everything to your Uncle Sim, did n't I?
mdp.39015023537197	Understand?"

mdp.39015023537197	We was considerin'it though, was n't we, Lem?"
mdp.39015023537197	Well, Em, what's it all about?"
mdp.39015023537197	Well, I kept it this time, did n't I?"

mdp.39015023537197	What is there to forgive?
mdp.39015023537197	What might happen before it was over?
mdp.39015023537197	What must he be thinking now?

mdp.39015023537197	What now?
mdp.39015023537197	What other reason?"

mdp.39015023537197	What would I be lookin'at — her feet?
mdp.39015023537197	What would I be sick about?"
mdp.39015023537197	What's happened in these two or three days to make you change your mind?
mdp.39015023537197	What's the matter aboard here?"
mdp.39015023537197	What's the matter with her?
mdp.39015023537197	What's the matter with it?
mdp.39015023537197	What's the matter with it?"
mdp.39015023537197	What's the matter?"
mdp.39015023537197	What's wrong about it?"
mdp.39015023537197	What?
mdp.39015023537197	What?...
mdp.39015023537197	When I came down here — Well, what do you suppose I came to Trumet for, anyway?
mdp.39015023537197	When can we be together — really together, so that I may tell you?"

mdp.39015023537197	Where did you come from?"
mdp.39015023537197	Where'd you come from?"
mdp.39015023537197	Where's that trunk I've heard talk about?"
mdp.39015023537197	Who on earth — at this time of night?
mdp.39015023537197	Who said STORM GIRL 75 I was drunk?
mdp.39015023537197	Who started this marryin'foolishness, anyway?"

mdp.39015023537197	Who was he, anyway?
mdp.39015023537197	Who was in on it with me?
mdp.39015023537197	Why had n't she waited in the village until the storm was over or until Uncle Sim came?
mdp.39015023537197	Why in the world had she been such a ninny as to start out on foot from the bank?
mdp.39015023537197	Why not?
mdp.39015023537197	Why not?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should he want to talk with Emily?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should it?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should it?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should she have to superintend their meals and — and cater to their petty wants?"
mdp.39015023537197	Why should she have to wait upon others and make herself uncomfort- able in order that they may be so comfortable?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should the blackguard be frightened of him any STORM GIRL 261 more than the rest of us?
mdp.39015023537197	Why should they wait?
mdp.39015023537197	Why?"
mdp.39015023537197	Why?"
mdp.39015023537197	With that fish?
mdp.39015023537197	With the en- gine shut off and the anchor overboard I ought to have been all right, had n't I?
mdp.39015023537197	Would Uncle Sim start out at all in the car in such a storm?
mdp.39015023537197	You do n't know who he is, you say?"
mdp.39015023537197	You do n't think Captain Kelly is going to stir up trouble for us about that, do you?
mdp.39015023537197	You do n't think Simeon had anything to do with his goin', do you?
mdp.39015023537197	You do n't think that — that creature will come back?"
mdp.39015023537197	You do, do n't you?"
mdp.39015023537197	You have n't told any of the gang around here who I am?"
mdp.39015023537197	You have n't told your Willie boy or any one that you used to know me or where you knew me?"
mdp.39015023537197	You look as if — as if —""As if I were happy again?
mdp.39015023537197	You mean — you think he sailed on that schooner?
mdp.39015023537197	You think he was doing the square thing by you all the time this engagement business was going on, do n't you?
mdp.39015023537197	You understand that, dear?"
mdp.39015023537197	You're comin'here to stay — for — for good?
mdp.39015023537197	You're dead sure?
mdp.39015023537197	You've brought a trunk?
mdp.39015023537197	i4o STORM GIRL angrily,"am I telling you all this?
mdp.39015059407547	'Boy or girl?' mdp.39015059407547 'Have yon any?'
mdp.39015059407547	'If they ask a ransom for her, shall you pay it?' mdp.39015059407547 'Out of the way?'
mdp.39015059407547	'Where'11 you be seein'my wife?' mdp.39015059407547 A hint of what?"
mdp.39015059407547	All alone?
mdp.39015059407547	Am I never to hear the last of this?
mdp.39015059407547	And is this what you call'golden'?
mdp.39015059407547	And now what are you going to do till Elise comes for you?'' mdp.39015059407547 And what did the Madam say?"
mdp.39015059407547	And what makes you so dead certain that she does n't?
mdp.39015059407547	And what will you give Rhoda if she ties your hat on pretty?
mdp.39015059407547	And what's happened to your fine nurse, dear?
mdp.39015059407547	And who is its mother?
mdp.39015059407547	And you found it?
mdp.39015059407547	Are you sure of this, Molly?
mdp.39015059407547	Are you the man who recovered my friend[ 154] COLD COMFORT Mrs. Suydam's vanity case?
mdp.39015059407547	Because you think she'd have told you all about it?
mdp.39015059407547	Boardin'school?
mdp.39015059407547	But how would a strange child do that?
mdp.39015059407547	But what are we to think when we find this young lady's a very par- ticular friend of Mr. Waldron's? mdp.39015059407547 But where is she?"
mdp.39015059407547	But wherever did she come from, Thomas?
mdp.39015059407547	But who can she be?
mdp.39015059407547	But who would you like to see?
mdp.39015059407547	By the way,he said casually,"do you hap- pen to know where Miss Eveleth was about four years ago?"
mdp.39015059407547	By the way,said the Colonel to Mrs. Red- field later that evening, trying to speak non- chalantly,"was Harry engaged to Eleanor Eveleth?"
mdp.39015059407547	Ca n't you see that? mdp.39015059407547 Caroline, what nonsense are you talking?"
mdp.39015059407547	Date, name, sex an'age?
mdp.39015059407547	Did I ever tell you the turn- up Miss Valentine had with Mrs. Gilbert at lunch the other day?
mdp.39015059407547	Did you have the money?
mdp.39015059407547	Do oo fink F'uffy Wuffles eated up my pinky s'ippers too? mdp.39015059407547 Do you call it red?"
mdp.39015059407547	Do you call your nephew, Mr. Harry Wald- ron,'common'?
mdp.39015059407547	Do you mean me to infer, Caroline, that V[ 22] MISS MUFFET STAYS you, of all people, mean to accept this child? mdp.39015059407547 Do you mean that they lock you in, my pre- cious lamb?"
mdp.39015059407547	Good Heavens, are there two?
mdp.39015059407547	Had he seen her?
mdp.39015059407547	Had you no notion?
mdp.39015059407547	He had another girl, had n't he?
mdp.39015059407547	How are you, old thing?
mdp.39015059407547	How can I keep my mind on these extraneous matters if you disturb my train of thought? mdp.39015059407547 How can you be so sure?"
mdp.39015059407547	How can you joke about anything so serious? mdp.39015059407547 How did you discover this?"
mdp.39015059407547	How did you find that out?
mdp.39015059407547	How does a child[ 178] A FRIEND IN NEED^ usually come into the possession of his own mother, I'd like to ask you? mdp.39015059407547 How tall was this person?"
mdp.39015059407547	I suppose the little girl got home safely?
mdp.39015059407547	I suppose they would cut Miss Muf- fet's beautiful curls and dress her in blue cal- ico? mdp.39015059407547 I want you to think I'm a nice- minded, refined retiring, shy, young girl, do n't I?
mdp.39015059407547	If I had any proof of what you say —''Proof?''
mdp.39015059407547	Is it Rosie Silk you're talkin'about? mdp.39015059407547 Is it in the papers?"
mdp.39015059407547	Is that what you think?
mdp.39015059407547	Is there anything else I can do for you?
mdp.39015059407547	Kidnappin'?
mdp.39015059407547	Mr. Harry's? mdp.39015059407547 Nelson?"
mdp.39015059407547	No, but remember the mother; what must she have been?
mdp.39015059407547	Now how did the child come to be lost?
mdp.39015059407547	Now how did you guess that?
mdp.39015059407547	Now what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015059407547	Now what do you think of that?
mdp.39015059407547	Oh, what shall I do? mdp.39015059407547 On what charge?"
mdp.39015059407547	S'e said:'My Dod, my Dod, tan't oo see I'm busy?' mdp.39015059407547 Still sellin'that bum grease?"
mdp.39015059407547	Suppose there had been only a tack in the slipper?
mdp.39015059407547	Surely you do your mother the justice of believing that the kid is well cared for? mdp.39015059407547 Tan't Zhimmy tome to see me, Auntie Tawol?"
mdp.39015059407547	The necklet — where is the necklet?
mdp.39015059407547	Then are you supposing that he had the child left with her in the first place?
mdp.39015059407547	Then there was n't anyone else?
mdp.39015059407547	Then those are not your usual charges?
mdp.39015059407547	This woman, I mean?
mdp.39015059407547	Two? mdp.39015059407547 Two?"
mdp.39015059407547	Uneasy about me?
mdp.39015059407547	Was there nothing by which she could be identified? mdp.39015059407547 Wby should I do that, Eleanor?"
mdp.39015059407547	Well now, ai n't that funny?
mdp.39015059407547	Well, and what do you think?
mdp.39015059407547	Well, as I said, he left us some money, promisin'to send more; but when months went by and no word from him, why we began to wonder what was up? mdp.39015059407547 Well,"said Thomas, when their indigna- tion had vented itself,"what are we goin'to do about it?"
mdp.39015059407547	What can we do?
mdp.39015059407547	What did she look like?
mdp.39015059407547	What did you do?
mdp.39015059407547	What difference does[ 164] COLD COMFOBT it make?
mdp.39015059407547	What do ye mean?
mdp.39015059407547	What do you know about him that Mrs. Eveleth does n't?
mdp.39015059407547	What do you know?
mdp.39015059407547	What do you want now, Eleanor?
mdp.39015059407547	What do you want?
mdp.39015059407547	What is it, dear?
mdp.39015059407547	What is it?
mdp.39015059407547	What is the nature of the case?
mdp.39015059407547	What makes you so cock- sure of her station in life? mdp.39015059407547 What makes you so sure I want to pack her off?"
mdp.39015059407547	What ought we to do to find her?
mdp.39015059407547	What was that the child called you?
mdp.39015059407547	What will your mother sayf She will not approve of this at all —"You think not?
mdp.39015059407547	What would I be doin'with a doll with a broken head? mdp.39015059407547 What would you suggest my doing?"
mdp.39015059407547	What's your second mystery?
mdp.39015059407547	What?
mdp.39015059407547	Where an'when was Mr.Waldron mar- ried?"
mdp.39015059407547	Where are you, dear?
mdp.39015059407547	Where did she marry Bat Sheldon?
mdp.39015059407547	Where has the day gone?
mdp.39015059407547	Where is her home, ma'am?
mdp.39015059407547	Whereabouts?
mdp.39015059407547	Who is she?
mdp.39015059407547	Who is she?
mdp.39015059407547	Whose child did you tell her it was?
mdp.39015059407547	Whose child is she?
mdp.39015059407547	Why this particular child?
mdp.39015059407547	Wonder why the cases you do n't take up se- rious always seem as if they must be more inter- estin'than those you do? mdp.39015059407547 Ye'11 excuse me, sir,"he began;"but may I have a word alone with ye in private?''
mdp.39015059407547	You and Harry are engaged? mdp.39015059407547 You certainly do n't expect me to rejoice over that?"
mdp.39015059407547	You certainly know whom your own ward married?
mdp.39015059407547	You do n't mean to tell me she lost the child?
mdp.39015059407547	You got her back again though, did n't you?
mdp.39015059407547	You mean to say there have been no explanations — nothing?
mdp.39015059407547	You said its name was Muffet — who is its father?
mdp.39015059407547	You sent for me?
mdp.39015059407547	You think not?
mdp.39015059407547	You'll arrange it, wo n't you, Mr. Par- kins?
mdp.39015059407547	Your own nephew's?
mdp.39015059407547	'And where'11 you get the money?'
mdp.39015059407547	'Out of the way?'"
mdp.39015059407547	( Heaven help her, what was the penalty for abduc- tion?)
mdp.39015059407547	/"Why not leave her here until such a family is found?"
mdp.39015059407547	/[ 195] ANOTHEB CLIENT then he'll mutter:'Oh, where is"Watson?
mdp.39015059407547	An'Mrs. Cook bein'that brave until the time come?
mdp.39015059407547	And did you find Mr. Gibbon's Bible?"
mdp.39015059407547	And how can you be held responsible for what you do n't know?"
mdp.39015059407547	And says she:'It's me pajamas,'pointin'to it,( which I hope the ladies will excuse me men- tionin')'And who do ye want to see?'
mdp.39015059407547	And what business is it of yours, anyway?"
mdp.39015059407547	And what was it she said to you in her queer language?"
mdp.39015059407547	And where do you suppose he took me?
mdp.39015059407547	And you put an innocent child to be brought up by a member of the Burns gang?"
mdp.39015059407547	And, by the way, this woman you put the child with — she's a respectable person in every way?
mdp.39015059407547	But I suppose you want us to go with you to see you make a laughin'-stock of yourself, bringin'in a boy when you're sent lookin'for a girl?
mdp.39015059407547	But the detective ignored the interruption and went on:"'What was the license, Bub?'
mdp.39015059407547	But why do you suppose Mother took the baby there?"
mdp.39015059407547	By the way, who are they?
mdp.39015059407547	Could it be possible that, while he was making love to her he was married to another girl?
mdp.39015059407547	Could it be true that the child was Harry's?
mdp.39015059407547	Do n't you see that if she were his daughter, he would wish above all things to have her stay where she was?"
mdp.39015059407547	Do n't you see that's where we're safe as safe?
mdp.39015059407547	Do ye remember how scared we was to send her up to the Madam an'how we stood in the hall, waitin'to hear the fuss?
mdp.39015059407547	Do you suppose I could learn chauffeurin'?"
mdp.39015059407547	Do you think it's possible?"
mdp.39015059407547	Even if she's dead now, I ca n't forget that, can I?
mdp.39015059407547	Failing this, he leaned down and asked in his most conciliatory manner:"And what do you want, little lady?"
mdp.39015059407547	Good woman to rear a kid?
mdp.39015059407547	Have n't you ever spec- erlated about her?"
mdp.39015059407547	Have you any theory who left the child at Mrs. Redfield's in the first place?"
mdp.39015059407547	Have you no self- respect, Caroline?"
mdp.39015059407547	How can you bring yourself to adopt a child without a name?
mdp.39015059407547	How do you know you did n't steal her from her own parents or grandparents?''
mdp.39015059407547	How will you bear it when her dissolute parents come here and have rows on your front lawn?
mdp.39015059407547	Hum, I wonder if she knows whose it is?
mdp.39015059407547	Hum, who'll I give it to if I find it?
mdp.39015059407547	I suppose, if I see they're on your track, you'd rather skip the country?"
mdp.39015059407547	If the little girl is Mr. Sheldon's daughter, why did no one ever hear of his marriage?
mdp.39015059407547	Is it jewels or a reputation?
mdp.39015059407547	It pleases me to fancy she's a valentine — and whoever heard of returning a valentine?"
mdp.39015059407547	It was'veiled glance'you said, was n't it?"
mdp.39015059407547	It's all vague- like and perhaps I imagined it, though I could n't hardly have made it up, could I?"
mdp.39015059407547	Let me see, where was I?
mdp.39015059407547	Maybe, maybe?
mdp.39015059407547	Meanwhile what was she to do about the child?
mdp.39015059407547	Mrs. Eveleth wrote nervously, asking"Why have you not ad- vised me where the child is?"
mdp.39015059407547	Naturally I felt myself the perfect ass, for how could anyone forget that address?
mdp.39015059407547	No note, no explanation?"
mdp.39015059407547	No?
mdp.39015059407547	Now who do you think would take that much interest in a baby except its mother?"
mdp.39015059407547	Now why did she swaller this, like as if it was a lump o'sugar?
mdp.39015059407547	On the other hand, if it were his own, why had he not told her?
mdp.39015059407547	Or do the p'lice think the stork brings'em?
mdp.39015059407547	Or — not married?
mdp.39015059407547	P'ease, Auntie?"
mdp.39015059407547	Parkins?"
mdp.39015059407547	Parkins?"
mdp.39015059407547	Poor but honest, eh?
mdp.39015059407547	Redfield?"
mdp.39015059407547	Redfield?"
mdp.39015059407547	See what I mean?
mdp.39015059407547	See?
mdp.39015059407547	She was stole from us and I think I'm justified in takin'her back any way I can, do n't you?"
mdp.39015059407547	She's after the money — al- ways has been, which ai n't no surprise — only how did she get hold of the child?
mdp.39015059407547	So I says to him that last evenin'we was together:"'Is there any message I can give your wife?
mdp.39015059407547	So long as you do n't know anything about it, how can you protest?
mdp.39015059407547	Suppose she wo n't give it up?
mdp.39015059407547	Suppose the woman were a de- tective?
mdp.39015059407547	Surely you know by this time?"
mdp.39015059407547	Tell me, is that what you're hinting?
mdp.39015059407547	The detective nodded:"Maybe you remem- ber that the car was covered with mud?
mdp.39015059407547	The officer answered categorically:"First; How did this child come into the pos- session of this woman?
mdp.39015059407547	This waif from the gutter, this —"Mrs. Redfield interrupted laughing:"Is n't that a little strong, Rachel?
mdp.39015059407547	To which Miss Muffet returned reproach- fully,"But Thomas, how tan I do to dinner in my pinky pajamas wif boo s'ippers?"
mdp.39015059407547	Was she not the mother of six model children?
mdp.39015059407547	Well, I'm off to St. Louis anyway — but what I want to know is, am I a detectuf or what am I?"
mdp.39015059407547	Well, at that trial there was a lot of holy Joes and such waitin''round to save a soul here and there, and maybe you remember the lady that lit on me?
mdp.39015059407547	Well, we was meanin'to get Molly one w'y or'nother, thinkin'she was bein'p'yed for it, see?
mdp.39015059407547	What are you driving at?"
mdp.39015059407547	What could I have said to a newspaper reporter?
mdp.39015059407547	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015059407547	What is it you want me to do?"
mdp.39015059407547	What other course could I have taken?
mdp.39015059407547	What right had you to grab that child out of that automobile and hand her over to anyone else?
mdp.39015059407547	What shall I do?"
mdp.39015059407547	What time?
mdp.39015059407547	What was he so scared about?
mdp.39015059407547	What was it that Sheldon had written him about the kid?
mdp.39015059407547	What will you have to say for yourself if I find you've taken her from her own mother?"
mdp.39015059407547	What would Thomas think of a sweetheart who was a jailbird?
mdp.39015059407547	What's become of him I never heard, did ye?"
mdp.39015059407547	Where is she now?"
mdp.39015059407547	Where is the mother?
mdp.39015059407547	Who sent you?"
mdp.39015059407547	Who was Carola de Riviere?"
mdp.39015059407547	Who would be glad to have that child out of the way?"
mdp.39015059407547	Who would want the child of strang- ers imposed upon her in this way?"
mdp.39015059407547	Whom did Bat Sheldon marry?"
mdp.39015059407547	Why did n't you say so?
mdp.39015059407547	Why is n't she entrusted to some of his people?
mdp.39015059407547	Why?
mdp.39015059407547	With every evidence of necessary haste she picked up Miss Muffet and thrust her head out[ 171] A FBIEND IN NEED all right now, ai n't you, sonny?"
mdp.39015059407547	Would n't it be swell if there were n't so many good guys with work for me?"
mdp.39015059407547	Would you mind moving a little nearer the window?"
mdp.39015059407547	Yet why, if there had been a marriage, had it been kept secret?
mdp.39015059407547	You can appreciate my position, ca n't you?
mdp.39015059407547	You can see that?"
mdp.39015059407547	You do n't tell me so?"
mdp.39015059407547	You have no doubt that this is his child?"
mdp.39015059407547	You knew of that?
mdp.39015059407547	You must have heard Harry speak of Bat Sheldon, one of his college friends?
mdp.39015059407547	You remember Molly Burns?"
mdp.39015059407547	You understand that this is an unusually delicate matter?"
mdp.39015059407547	You'd like to go with me, would n't you, baby?"
mdp.39015059407547	You've lost the child, and you want me to find her for you; that's it, eh?"

mdp.39015059400153	Any damage? ” he shouted. mdp.39015059400153 Anything else, sir? ” he asked harshly.
mdp.39015059400153	Anything wrong?
mdp.39015059400153	Are you all right? ” the voice demanded. mdp.39015059400153 Are you hurt? ” he demanded anxiously.
mdp.39015059400153	Ashore? ” Joe repeated. mdp.39015059400153 Blimme, he loves it, do n't he?"
mdp.39015059400153	Blimme, it's Carnegie. ” “ Want a drink?
mdp.39015059400153	But you'll find it is n't going to be easy to get a command again. ”What? ” Samson jumped to his feet and glared trucu- lently at the other.
mdp.39015059400153	Ca n't we tell someone what we suspect? ” the other demanded. mdp.39015059400153 Can I go ashore? ”"Oh, go to hell if you like! ” Barclay cried.
mdp.39015059400153	Can I help you with that, sir?
mdp.39015059400153	Captain Samson? mdp.39015059400153 Captain aboard? ” the chief asked.
mdp.39015059400153	Captain aboard?
mdp.39015059400153	Captain, why keep on with that story? mdp.39015059400153 Coasting? ” Samson's voice was scornful.
mdp.39015059400153	D'ye want to drown? ” He roared with laughter in his excitement. mdp.39015059400153 Did Davis get insurance for that vessel? ” Samson de- manded.
mdp.39015059400153	Did I, son? ” Joe's voice expressed mild interest. mdp.39015059400153 Did n't he say something about our cook? ” Joe asked.
mdp.39015059400153	Did they get anything? ” he asked. mdp.39015059400153 Did you find anywhere, sir? ” The fireman who had been in the boat's crew snorted.
mdp.39015059400153	Did you fix up a lawyer for him?
mdp.39015059400153	Do you mean that, captain? ” he asked quietly. mdp.39015059400153 Do you mean the man Harry? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	Do you still persist in your statement, Captain Sam- son? ” the Board of Trade lawyer asked coldly. mdp.39015059400153 Do you think I'd allow that? ” he asked almost gently.
mdp.39015059400153	Find anything? mdp.39015059400153 Had a night of it, Joe? ” the ordinary seaman said hu- morously.
mdp.39015059400153	Harry did not mention where he had this written state- ment? ” Joe shook his head. mdp.39015059400153 Has Captain Samson heard of this yet? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	Hi, Joe, d'ye know who that is? ” the newcomer de- manded excitedly. mdp.39015059400153 Hi, there, what's the game? ” Samson demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	How about a wet, cookie?
mdp.39015059400153	How about the tell- tale in your room, sir, and the spare compass aft? ” “ Go and have a look at them, ” Barclay said humorously. mdp.39015059400153 How the hell did it happen anyhow? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	How the hell did it happen anyhow?
mdp.39015059400153	I have Samson on board still, and Barclay smells a rat — thanks to Samson. ”Samson?
mdp.39015059400153	I have an idea the owner does n't mind having everything seem cared for. ”Seem?"
mdp.39015059400153	Is he biting, Joe? ” the newcomer whispered. mdp.39015059400153 Is he biting, Joe?"
mdp.39015059400153	Is it? ” the mate said annoyedly. mdp.39015059400153 Is n't there something we could do?"
mdp.39015059400153	Is she holed badly? ” Samson demanded. mdp.39015059400153 Is that all you wanted me for, mister? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	Is that all you wanted? ” he demanded. mdp.39015059400153 Is the mate on board? ” Samson demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	Joe? mdp.39015059400153 Let me down, mate. ”"Sick, are you? ” Joe stood and considered the matter.
mdp.39015059400153	Looking for me, capt'n? ”Yes. ” Samson was at his best master- mariner now.
mdp.39015059400153	Might I ask why, sir?
mdp.39015059400153	Mister, ” he demanded,am I going mad?
mdp.39015059400153	No, sir; he just kept saying he had it writ down. ”Where is he now? ” Barclay inquired.
mdp.39015059400153	Not'i m?
mdp.39015059400153	Now then, Samson, what's going on here? mdp.39015059400153 Now, for God's sake,"the shipowner demanded, when the two men were alone over their port,"what is happen- ing? ” Bart smiled.
mdp.39015059400153	Samson, did ye say?
mdp.39015059400153	Samson? ” Barclay was surprised. mdp.39015059400153 Samson? ” Barclay was surprised.
mdp.39015059400153	Smilie? ” Samson's face expressed his unbelief. mdp.39015059400153 Smilie? ” Samson's face expressed his unbelief.
mdp.39015059400153	So that's what he's up to, is it? ” he said, and his face had a shiny red flush. mdp.39015059400153 That got you, mister; you thought nobody saw. ” “ What the hell are you talking about?"
mdp.39015059400153	The wreck? ” There was an indrawing of breath, and silence. mdp.39015059400153 Was that the kids'boots you chewed?"
mdp.39015059400153	Well, did you get them? ” he asked eagerly. mdp.39015059400153 Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015059400153	Well, why take all this trouble to arrange for her safety? ” Barclay demanded. mdp.39015059400153 Well, you swab? ” he demanded challengingly.
mdp.39015059400153	Well? mdp.39015059400153 Well? ” Bart demanded harshly.
mdp.39015059400153	Well? ” he asked. mdp.39015059400153 Well? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	Well? ” he repeated. mdp.39015059400153 What about Harry?
mdp.39015059400153	What about Samson? ” the other demanded. mdp.39015059400153 What are you going to do? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	What can ye do, mister? ” he demanded. mdp.39015059400153 What do you think? ” he demanded indignantly.
mdp.39015059400153	What do you think? ” he demanded indignantly. mdp.39015059400153 What do you want?"
mdp.39015059400153	What the hell's happened?
mdp.39015059400153	What the hell's it got to do with you? ” he shouted. mdp.39015059400153 What the hell? ” he cried, and then he saw the blood on the man's face.
mdp.39015059400153	What's all writ down on paper, mate? mdp.39015059400153 What's going to happen now? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	What's going to happen now? ” the chief asked. mdp.39015059400153 What's happened? ” Samson demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	What's right? mdp.39015059400153 What's the game? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	What's the job, captain? ” The man was a tall, starved- looking fellow with pinched features blue with cold. mdp.39015059400153 What's this for? ” he demanded, struggling to rise.
mdp.39015059400153	What's wrong with you? ” he demanded. mdp.39015059400153 What's wrong? ” he demanded in a shriller tone.
mdp.39015059400153	What? ” he demanded. mdp.39015059400153 When are we leaving here? ” the chief asked when he arrived in the shipmaster's room.
mdp.39015059400153	When are we leaving here? ” the chief asked when he arrived in the shipmaster's room. mdp.39015059400153 Where does he live? ”"You'll find him down Newlyn. ” Samson nodded curtly and strode away.
mdp.39015059400153	Where'd you pinch the cash, mate? mdp.39015059400153 Who asked you to talk to me? ” he demanded of one man.
mdp.39015059400153	Who asked you to talk to me? ” he demanded of one man. mdp.39015059400153 Who's a rat? ” Harry demanded, then he saw the ex- pression on the other's face.
mdp.39015059400153	Who's he?
mdp.39015059400153	Who?
mdp.39015059400153	Why? mdp.39015059400153 Will I make you some breakfast, Joe? ” the ordinary seaman said sympathetically.
mdp.39015059400153	With a cargo almost on board? ” Barclay frowned. mdp.39015059400153 Yes? ” Samson said defensively.
mdp.39015059400153	Yes? ” he asked. mdp.39015059400153 Yes? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	You do n't think he realized what he had said and has run away? ” Barclay asked.
mdp.39015059400153	You have n't gone and told him anything?
mdp.39015059400153	You his keeper? ” he asked. mdp.39015059400153 You know what you are doing? ” he asked evenly.
mdp.39015059400153	You know what you are doing? ” he asked evenly. mdp.39015059400153 You said, ” he demanded, “ you said Harry and the cook were talking?
mdp.39015059400153	You wish me to cancel my action and not discharge this man?
mdp.39015059400153	You're calling me a liar, mister? ” he demanded. mdp.39015059400153 ... What's his game? ” Samson demanded suspiciously. mdp.39015059400153 107But what about Barclay and Samson?
mdp.39015059400153	135"How did you manage to get drunk last night? ” he asked gently.
mdp.39015059400153	17"Your captains, mister? ” Samson repeated inquiringly.
mdp.39015059400153	17"Your captains, mister? ” Samson repeated inquiringly.
mdp.39015059400153	245"Who'll not let me?"
mdp.39015059400153	69"Your cook? ” he said slowly.
mdp.39015059400153	85"Did I hear some trouble forra'd there? ” Barclay asked mildly.
mdp.39015059400153	A proper tough number. ”"What did you want?"
mdp.39015059400153	And why?
mdp.39015059400153	Are you all right? ” Voices said"All right ” grudgingly and Barclay smiled.
mdp.39015059400153	As he passed Samson he said,"Did ye hear he was going to put her ashore again? ” Samson had not heard.
mdp.39015059400153	As he reached the floor there was a knock at the door and an authorita- tive voice asked:"Captain there?"
mdp.39015059400153	Been knocking somebody down? ” Captain Samson, A.B.
mdp.39015059400153	But what about it?
mdp.39015059400153	Can hardly see her head from the bridge. ”"Is the captain on deck? ” Samson demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	D'you understand? ” Barclay had backed against the drawer under his bunk.
mdp.39015059400153	Did n't he?
mdp.39015059400153	Did you hear what they said?
mdp.39015059400153	Did you, man? ” Joe shook his head.
mdp.39015059400153	Do you want anything else done? ” Barclay considered, then nodded.
mdp.39015059400153	Do you want anything else done? ” Barclay considered, then nodded.
mdp.39015059400153	Do you want to do seven years in a nice prison? ” The shipowner was sunk in his chair.
mdp.39015059400153	D’you understand? ” Barclay had backed against the drawer under his bunk.
mdp.39015059400153	Going to the engine- room door, Samson shouted:"All ready below? ”"All ready, Captain Samson, ” the chief answered.
mdp.39015059400153	He looked up at the ordinary seaman and asked in a hoarse, throaty voice:"Was I bad, kid?"
mdp.39015059400153	He watched Joe half- empty the pot, then said,"How's your mate?"
mdp.39015059400153	Here, where the hell did you find this? ”"Let go, let go, ” Harry screamed.
mdp.39015059400153	How did you find me here? ” Harry, the seaman, sat beside his shipmate and wriggled with sly delight.
mdp.39015059400153	How will you explain it?
mdp.39015059400153	I dunno how else we can get at him. ” “ But, Samson, ” Barclay said eagerly,"could n't we dis- cover something about the loss of the Sunart?
mdp.39015059400153	I want to offer you a berth in one of my boats. ”"Coasting?"
mdp.39015059400153	I'm goin'to take you aboard, see? ” He beamed down on Harry.
mdp.39015059400153	I'm her captain. ”"Are ye, capt'n? ” Joe said interestedly.
mdp.39015059400153	If they suspect?
mdp.39015059400153	Is that clear?"
mdp.39015059400153	Just where had Bart planned that she would meet her end?
mdp.39015059400153	Mate?'
mdp.39015059400153	Mate?'
mdp.39015059400153	Mate?'
mdp.39015059400153	Mate?'
mdp.39015059400153	Money- Joe cast his seeking desires round his shipmates — who had money?
mdp.39015059400153	My ticket was taken away from me. ”"Yes, captain? ” the manager said softly, his keen eyes watching Samson.
mdp.39015059400153	Now?"
mdp.39015059400153	Oh, Samson?
mdp.39015059400153	Or was he in the game and had been fool- ing him, Captain Samson, all the time?
mdp.39015059400153	See that rock? ” He pointed and laid a finger on the chart close to the place where the harbor plan showed.
mdp.39015059400153	She needs just a start and she'll slide back. ” “ Will we do that now, sir? ”"Yes, now.
mdp.39015059400153	She needs just a start and she'll slide back. ” “ Will we do that now, sir? ”"Yes, now.
mdp.39015059400153	So why should we worry about their god- damned ship?"
mdp.39015059400153	That suit ye, capt'n? ” Samson nodded.
mdp.39015059400153	The beach is pebbles and nearly flat. ” “ Did the men find a way up the cliff? ” Barclay called.
mdp.39015059400153	The beach is pebbles and nearly flat. ”"Did the men find a way up the cliff? ” Barclay called.
mdp.39015059400153	The second mate hesitated, then said petulantly:"Now then, what's all this? ” Samson seemed not to hear.
mdp.39015059400153	Then he added, “ Now, all we need is scrub out forra'd and this ship'll be clear of the other bugs — she's lousy with them. ”"Is she?"
mdp.39015059400153	Then he said sneeringly: “ Who's going to make me? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	There's a mug in your room, sir; can I take it? ”"Yes, of course,"Samson said, still pleasantly.
mdp.39015059400153	This fog is getting worse than ever. ” “ What will we do, sir?"
mdp.39015059400153	Was the man mad?
mdp.39015059400153	What about him?"
mdp.39015059400153	What are we going to do about this ship?
mdp.39015059400153	What are you doing here? ” An arm rose and a heavy lead weight used to hold down the chart descended on the mate's head.
mdp.39015059400153	What has he done? ” The detective looked over his shoulder to his companions.
mdp.39015059400153	What is it? ” the officer demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	What sort of ship is this?
mdp.39015059400153	What was the man playing at?
mdp.39015059400153	What'll my missus do? ”"We'll see she's looked after, Joe, ” Barclay promised.
mdp.39015059400153	What's hap- pened?
mdp.39015059400153	Where the hell did you learn your job?"
mdp.39015059400153	Where's Captain Barclay?"
mdp.39015059400153	Where's the captain? ”"Captain Samson'll tell you, sir, ” Sam said grudgingly.
mdp.39015059400153	Where's the mate?
mdp.39015059400153	Who is he? ” the other demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	Who was on the bridge?
mdp.39015059400153	Who's for putting her ashore? ” 246 Captain Samson, A.B.
mdp.39015059400153	Why, what the hell has he got to do with it? ” The young man's voice showed his irritation.
mdp.39015059400153	Would Bart use the same method on the Troubadour?
mdp.39015059400153	You do n't think the mate was in with him?"
mdp.39015059400153	You understand what I'm saying?
mdp.39015059400153	You understand what I'm saying?
mdp.39015059400153	Your last will and testament? ” Harry smiled uneasily.
mdp.39015059400153	that case we're ” Old Sam shook his head and added,"But that ca n't be right. ” “ What ca n't be right? ” Barclay demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Any of you men want to earn a pound? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Anything wrong?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ But you'll find it is n't going to be easy to get a command again. ”"What? ” Samson jumped to his feet and glared trucu- lently at the other.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Christ, ca n't you see you're swinging her too far over? ”"You'll have the ship ashore, ” he said again.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Did n't he kill the mate of the Sunart?
mdp.39015059400153	“ Did n't he tell us where he got that cash? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Did you hear what he's going to do? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Did you see who got into that car across there? ” Captain Barclay looked across the roadway and saw no car.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Do you know where we are? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Do you mean the far- from- beautiful but estimable Bart?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ Does that mean? ”"It means nothing except a delay,"Bart assured him.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Got a gold mine, mate? ” Joe inquired humorously.
mdp.39015059400153	“ He is n't an author or anything fancy? ”"Bloody little rat,"Joe said.
mdp.39015059400153	“ He shot himself. ”"He what? ” the second mate stared his horror, then he looked stupidly at Sam and from Sam to Samson.
mdp.39015059400153	“ He shot himself? ” he repeated dazedly.
mdp.39015059400153	“ How can we use this in- formation, Samson? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	“ How does that rock bear from the harbor? ”"South ten west magnetic,"the harbor- master said with- out looking at the chart.
mdp.39015059400153	“ How many men will I take? ” Barclay had everything thought out.
mdp.39015059400153	“ How'd you get her on the Gear? ” Samson bridled.
mdp.39015059400153	“ How's that, Samson? ” Samson scowled.
mdp.39015059400153	“ I have an idea the owner does n't mind having everything seem cared for. ”"Seem? ” the chief asked in surprise.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Is that true, Samson? ”"You — ” Samson was stuck for words.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Is this a mad- house? ” Joe was gone.
mdp.39015059400153	“ There is n't a way up or round? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Was he on board the Sunart?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ Were you speaking to me? ” The other laughed softly.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What about our lives? ” In the seamen's forecastle the four deck- hands had nothing to say to each other.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What are you after? ” Harry laughed shrilly.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What can I do for you? ” There was a humorous insolence in the clean- shaven, well- cared- for face that infuriated Samson.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What did you want to know from me? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What do you think of that, Samson? ” Barclay de- manded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What kind of men have you around here? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What next, Captain Samson? ” Samson answered him hurriedly, but pleasantly.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What the hell's it got to do with him?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ What the hell's the fellow talking about? ” Captain Samson, A.B.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What's the drawing-a puzzle? ”"Something the kid drew,"the other explained with too glib friendliness.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What's wrong now? ”"Wrong! ” the young man cried melodramatically.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What's wrong there? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ What's wrong? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Where the hell did you afford to buy double whiskies? ” He saw Harry lay a sovereign on the counter and his eyes opened with amazement.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Where the hell would I get a car? ”"The man who paid you for wrecking the Sunart could tell me that, ” Samson retorted.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Who are we?
mdp.39015059400153	“ Who was at the wheel? ”"The cook, sir, ” the mate answered worriedly.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Who's the long fellow wilt- ing away over that dock- rail? ” “ Dunno, Joe. ”"Find out,"the other said shortly.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Who's the long fellow wilt- ing away over that dock- rail?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ Why do n't you get out of her, mister, if you do n't want to see the end of this business? ” Samson demanded.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Why should we care a damn about another man's ship?
mdp.39015059400153	“ Why the hell do n't he get wise to hisself and let's get into the boats? ”"She'll float off again, ” the ordinary seaman argued.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Will you have fish for tea? ” Barclay smiled.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Will you have fish for tea? ” Barclay smiled.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Will you keep me for the rest of my life if I lose my license? ” the driver demanded scornfully.
mdp.39015059400153	“ Wrong with me?
mdp.39015059400153	“ Wrong with me? ” Samson almost screamed.
mdp.39015059400153	“ You fancy Samson'll get you out of this?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ You fancy Samson'll get you out of this?"
mdp.39015059400153	“ You lost her? ” Samson nodded.

hvd.hwrffb	And you did this? ” 108 THAT AFFAIR NEXT DOOR. hvd.hwrffb I? ” she faltered, with a frightened air.
hvd.hwrffb	Is there any reason”-it is the Coroner, of course, who is speaking—“why there should be any falling off in your mutual confidence? hvd.hwrffb Now,'said he,'you look well, but how about the time when you will have to take the gossamer off?

hvd.hwrffb	83 “ Did you recognize this bit of steel as belonging to any instrument in the medical profession?"
hvd.hwrffb	A real lady, whatever they say about her! ” “ And happy?
hvd.hwrffb	A young man who had a key-"“ A key?
hvd.hwrffb	Am I to blame for anticipating this with so much happiness? ” I sighed.

hvd.hwrffb	And did you notice her hat? ” “ O, I have seen the hat often.
hvd.hwrffb	And do you think us called upon to part with all or any of the secrets of our office?
hvd.hwrffb	And how do you account for that? ” “ She was preoccupied.
hvd.hwrffb	And look here, darling, wo n't you go to the desk and ask for a room?
hvd.hwrffb	And now is there any other little cherished fact known to the police which you would like to have imparted to you?"
hvd.hwrffb	And now what other clue was offered me, save the one I have already mentioned as being given by the clock?
hvd.hwrffb	And now will you come down to supper, Miss Butterworth? ” “ No,"I replied.
hvd.hwrffb	And now, madam, where is that pin?"
hvd.hwrffb	And so you let her into the house and left her there when you went out of it?
hvd.hwrffb	And then she had money — Do you know what her trouble was? ” This again to Lena, and with an air at once suspicious and curious.

hvd.hwrffb	And what do you do for a living? ” rapidly followed.
hvd.hwrffb	And what was she doing in this great empty place?"
hvd.hwrffb	Are these the articles you found under your cushions? ”"If you will examine the neck of the lady's gossa- mer, you can soon tell, sir.

hvd.hwrffb	At all events she went on in another moment as if I had not spoken: “ But what became of her pretty dress?
hvd.hwrffb	But do you suppose she will allow you in her room?"
hvd.hwrffb	But had I not searched for them in every available place without success?
hvd.hwrffb	But have you not thought of another way in which he could have obtained it, a perfectly harmless way, involving no one either in deceit or crime?

hvd.hwrffb	But however did she get into the house?
hvd.hwrffb	But it was neat enough to have been true, was it not, Inspector?".
hvd.hwrffb	But the point is to find out how much help, and to whom it was given. ” “ And your scheme for doing this? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	But the rings?
hvd.hwrffb	But what could I say to her?
hvd.hwrffb	But when did she wind the clock? ” “ At five o'clock, ma'am; just before I left the house."
hvd.hwrffb	But where was I in my story?
hvd.hwrffb	But who had identified the scar?
hvd.hwrffb	But why should a gentleman like him do that? ” “ It is n't worth while for you to bother your head about it,"I expostulated.
hvd.hwrffb	But why should it have been left lying about in that careless way?
hvd.hwrffb	But you asked me under what circumstances she came to me? ” “ Yes, on what day, and at what time of day?

hvd.hwrffb	Can you say that her death was a natural one, and that the falling of the shelves was merely an unhappy accident following it?"
hvd.hwrffb	Can you say what was the color of her gloves?"
hvd.hwrffb	Could I encounter him again and live?
hvd.hwrffb	Could he not see that it would be the height of ill- manners for me to rush out in the face of any one coming in?
hvd.hwrffb	Could not that fact be explained by the presence of a considerable sum of money in her shoes?
hvd.hwrffb	Could she have gone for Mrs. Boppert already, or had she slipped into another room to hide the money which had come so unexpectedly into her hands?
hvd.hwrffb	Could she not bear ques- tioning?
hvd.hwrffb	Could the supposition of suicide advanced by Howard before the Coroner be entertained for a moment, or that equally improbable suggestion of accident?
hvd.hwrffb	Could this have been bought before then? ” “ Possibly, for this is an imported hat.
hvd.hwrffb	Dear?
hvd.hwrffb	Desberger is a kind woman; what does she want of me?"
hvd.hwrffb	Did n't she tell you? ” “ She told nothing.
hvd.hwrffb	Did she refer to the one I had picked up from the floor and placed on a side- table?
hvd.hwrffb	Did she think I could n't see the length of her dining- room table through the crack of the parlor door?
hvd.hwrffb	Did she think Mrs. Desberger in society?
hvd.hwrffb	Did they realize at the first glance that I was destined to prove a thorn in the sides of every one connected with this matter, for days to come?
hvd.hwrffb	Did you hear any one say?"
hvd.hwrffb	Did you know your sister- in- law, and do you think she could have been beguiled into your father's house in that way? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	Did you lock her in when you left the house?"
hvd.hwrffb	Did you not think it a remark- able coincidence? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	Did you notice that her hand was gloved when she came into the house?"
hvd.hwrffb	Did you notice what time it was when you drove away? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	Did you pick them up here?
hvd.hwrffb	Did you see her that time when we were coming out of Clark's?
hvd.hwrffb	Did you see her? ” I hate a lie as I do poison, but I had to exercise all my Christian principles not to tell one then.
hvd.hwrffb	Did you see the lady?"
hvd.hwrffb	Did you wind it? ” “ O no, no, no, I would as soon think of touching gold or silver.
hvd.hwrffb	Do you hear that, Isabella?
hvd.hwrffb	Do you object to such confidences as these? ” “ On the contrary,"I answered.
hvd.hwrffb	Do you suppose Miss Butterworth means the pin- cushion?".
hvd.hwrffb	Do you think that the- the person who com- mitted that awful crime went up- stairs?
hvd.hwrffb	Do you think they will do anything to me if they know it?"
hvd.hwrffb	Do you think we had better release the head? ” he went on, glancing up at the portly man at his side.
hvd.hwrffb	Do you understand, Caroline?
hvd.hwrffb	Do you wish me to go now?"
hvd.hwrffb	Does it correspond with yours? ” XXXI.
hvd.hwrffb	Filled with this startling idea, I remarked: “ The young lady wore a watch, of course? ” But the suggestion passed unheeded.
hvd.hwrffb	First, was the death of this young woman an acci, dent?
hvd.hwrffb	For if we ignore the latter part of Howard's testimony, which was evidently a tissue of lies, what remains against him?
hvd.hwrffb	From something she said yesterday I am convinced she is a married woman; and that her husband- “ Well, madam?"
hvd.hwrffb	Had he this order with him?
hvd.hwrffb	Had sentiment got the better of me, Amelia Butterworth, and was I no longer capable of looking a thing squarely in the face?
hvd.hwrffb	Had the avenue anything better to offer?
hvd.hwrffb	Had they no meals in your house? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	Had you any reason to think she was not? ”."
hvd.hwrffb	Had your sister- in- law any special admirers among the other sex?"
hvd.hwrffb	Has any one said that these two women were alike? ” Having to speak, I became myself again in a trice, and nodded vigorously.
hvd.hwrffb	Has the person answering it been in this house?"
hvd.hwrffb	Has your brother done anything to displease you? ” “ We did not like his marriage."
hvd.hwrffb	Have I enlightened you on a point that has hitherto troubled you?"
hvd.hwrffb	Have you a paper, Mrs. Desber- ger, I want to look at the advertisements?'
hvd.hwrffb	Have you a sample of this hair here to show us? ” “ I have, sir.
hvd.hwrffb	Have you any better ones to advance now?
hvd.hwrffb	Have you been suited, Miss Althorpe? ” “ O yes; I have a young person with me whom I like very much. ” “ Ah, you are supplied!
hvd.hwrffb	Have you found those rings, or have you not?"
hvd.hwrffb	He had said it was his wife; I had proven to myself that it was the rival; was he right, or was I right, or were neither of us right?
hvd.hwrffb	He said he might want to go into the house before his father came home. ” “ Did he say why he wanted to go into the house?"
hvd.hwrffb	He was a man- what's that? ” “ Nothing but the tea- caddy; I knocked it over with my elbow. ” THE WINDINGS OF A LABYRINTH.
hvd.hwrffb	How account for your intrusion? ” “ O I will find means, and they wo n't be too cruel either.
hvd.hwrffb	How could the two be made to agree, and which, since agreement was impossible, should be made to give way, the theory or the testimony of the clock?
hvd.hwrffb	How did I know this?
hvd.hwrffb	How long did they remain in your house? ” “ They left in the evening; after tea, I should say. ”"How?
hvd.hwrffb	How long did they remain in your house? ” “ They left in the evening; after tea, I should say. ”"How?
hvd.hwrffb	How then?
hvd.hwrffb	How was the gentleman dressed when you saw him? ” “ In a linen duster and a felt hat. ” “ Let the jury remember that.
hvd.hwrffb	I am sorry for young folks when they get into trouble, ai nt you?
hvd.hwrffb	I can not give the ex- act hour. ” “ And where did you go? ” “ To a hotel on Broadway; you have already heard of our visit there."
hvd.hwrffb	I chose to be independent, and I am, and what more is there to be said about it?
hvd.hwrffb	I did n't know it till yesterday- was it yester- day?
hvd.hwrffb	I do n't know. ” “ And that is all you have to tell us about them?"
hvd.hwrffb	I do n't wonder you shudder. ” Did I shudder?
hvd.hwrffb	I do not know why I stopped, or in his own house. ” “ In his own house?
hvd.hwrffb	I never thought anything would happen to her. ” “ Of course not, why should you?
hvd.hwrffb	I saw it in her cheerful- ness, which was forced and not always well timed. ” “ And where is that bag now?"
hvd.hwrffb	I saw the white cuff. ” “ And how long was it before they called you? ” “ Fifteen minutes, I should say.
hvd.hwrffb	I saw them, and perhaps you did yourself? ”"I did not; I did not look closely enough."
hvd.hwrffb	I thought you knew all about it from the way you talked. ” Had I been indiscreet?
hvd.hwrffb	I trust him implicitly, and – Do I talk too freely?
hvd.hwrffb	I'm not too weak to help. ” “ Do you know who this person is?"
hvd.hwrffb	If I meddle in this matter at all it will not be as your coadjutor, but as your rival. ” “ My rival?"
hvd.hwrffb	If it could, then why had not Mr. Gryce produced it?
hvd.hwrffb	If she did not die from the wounds inflicted by the objects which fell upon her, from what cause did she die?
hvd.hwrffb	If the rival and not the wife lay before me, then which of the two accompanied him to the scene of tragedy?
hvd.hwrffb	If you saw Mrs. Van Burnam so often, you are ac- quainted with her personal appearance?"
hvd.hwrffb	If you will note him from your window I will be obliged. ” “ To see whether he is the same one I saw last night?
hvd.hwrffb	In the house in Gramercy Park, do you mean? ” “ Yes, he has no other."
hvd.hwrffb	In what direction do they point?-tell me."
hvd.hwrffb	Instantly she cried: “ But you wo n't say anything about it, will you, ma'am?
hvd.hwrffb	Is Richard Clapp in the room?"
hvd.hwrffb	Is Seth Brown here? ” A man, who was so evidently a hackman that it seemed superfluous to ask him what his occupation was, shuffled forward at this.
hvd.hwrffb	Is it so? ”."
hvd.hwrffb	Is not that a carriage I hear stop- ping?
hvd.hwrffb	Is not that a good answer, sir? ” “ Good, but not good enough.
hvd.hwrffb	Is not that plausible, sir? ” “ I could not have reasoned better myself, madam.
hvd.hwrffb	Is she any one you know?"
hvd.hwrffb	Is she at home? ” The tassel slipped from his hand.
hvd.hwrffb	Is that too simple a method for disposing of certain encumbering bundles, to be believed, sir? ” MISS BUTTERWORTH'S WINDOW.
hvd.hwrffb	Is that true? ” “ It is."
hvd.hwrffb	Is there any reason for my thinking as I do?
hvd.hwrffb	Is there anything in the dead to be afraid of?
hvd.hwrffb	Is this the lady? ” “ Lalee talk; I no see face, I hear speak. ” “ Have you seen this man before?"
hvd.hwrffb	Is this the lady? ” “ Lalee talk; I no see face, I hear speak. ” “ Have you seen this man before?"
hvd.hwrffb	It can be done, can it not, Miss Butterworth?
hvd.hwrffb	It cost twenty dollars, if not thirty, and if for any reason its owner decided not to take it with her, why did n't she pack it away properly?
hvd.hwrffb	It looks like a dressmaker's box, but why such emotion over a gown?
hvd.hwrffb	It was made by the thrust of some very slender instrument through —""The heart?

hvd.hwrffb	Let me ask you, if you found any marks upon this body which might aid in its identification?"
hvd.hwrffb	Meanwhile, with this theory accepted, what explana- tion could be given of the very peculiar facts surround- ing this woman's death?
hvd.hwrffb	Miss Butterworth, the cabinet is about to be raised; do you feel as if you could endure the sight?"
hvd.hwrffb	Miss Oliver gone? ” I cried to the maid whom I found trembling in a corner of the hall.
hvd.hwrffb	My face and figure will not spoil the effect, will they?"
hvd.hwrffb	Not even in his complicity, I suppose? ” ven- tured the Inspector.
hvd.hwrffb	Not noticeable in any way, sir, except for his hang- dog air and evident desire not to be noticed. ” “ But you saw him later? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hwrffb	Now she could only do this at the steamer or in-"“ Why do you not proceed, Mr. Van Burnam? ” “ I will.
hvd.hwrffb	Now why would not my mind subscribe to it?
hvd.hwrffb	Now, could this bundle be found?
hvd.hwrffb	Now, did you see her hands? ” “ Not to remember them."
hvd.hwrffb	Now, do you know that he was older?"
hvd.hwrffb	Now, what do you think of this one? ” He held out another letter which had been directed to him, and which he had opened.

hvd.hwrffb	On foot or in a carriage?"
hvd.hwrffb	Or should I except Mr. Gryce?
hvd.hwrffb	Or was it after their encounter there?
hvd.hwrffb	Otherwise I should die of horror and my grief. ” “ And how do you hope to gain compensation by this delay? ” expostulated the Superintendent.
hvd.hwrffb	Perhaps you can tell us who she is? ” “ I? ” Mr. Van Burnam seemed quite shocked.
hvd.hwrffb	Perhaps you can tell us who she is? ” “ I? ” Mr. Van Burnam seemed quite shocked.
hvd.hwrffb	Provoked at her impassibility, I shook her with an angry hand, imperatively demanding: “ What are you thinking of?
hvd.hwrffb	Quite a remarkable means of death, do n't you think?
hvd.hwrffb	Really dead?
hvd.hwrffb	Second, was it a suicide?
hvd.hwrffb	Second: was it effected by her own hand?
hvd.hwrffb	Shall I pass them down to the jury?".
hvd.hwrffb	Shall I venture, Miss Althorpe?"
hvd.hwrffb	Shall not Mr. Van Burnam accompany you?"
hvd.hwrffb	She did all the busi- ness. ” “ Then you saw her face? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	She gave you some, of course?"
hvd.hwrffb	She has not been out, I believe? ” “ Not since she came into the house."
hvd.hwrffb	She is not honest, then?
hvd.hwrffb	She wants to see you; are you willing to visit her?".
hvd.hwrffb	She was coming to see me, but I prevailed upon her to go up- town. ” “ What time was this? ” “ After ten and before noon.
hvd.hwrffb	She was killed, but not by the falling cabinet. ” “ Killed, and not by the cabinet?
hvd.hwrffb	Some blue stuff, is n't it?"
hvd.hwrffb	Some common suicide who thought the house empty- But how did she get in?"
hvd.hwrffb	Such an imagi- nation I possess, but how can I be sure that you do?"
hvd.hwrffb	That is, if you were simply engaged in playing, as you say, a game upon your father, and not upon the whole community?"
hvd.hwrffb	The Coroner asked him but one question: “ Had the lady no parcel when you saw her last?"
hvd.hwrffb	The girl never breathed after. ” “ But what of those things under which she lay crushed?"
hvd.hwrffb	The police never found out what you had to do with this woman's death, did they? ” “ No, ma'am, O no, ma'am.
hvd.hwrffb	The policeman, to whom these remarks had evi- dently been addressed, growled out some unintelligible 12 THAT AFFAIR NEX?
hvd.hwrffb	The two hats?
hvd.hwrffb	There was no pin to be seen in the hat when you looked at it? ” “ None.
hvd.hwrffb	These are the queries: First: was her death due to accident?
hvd.hwrffb	They came in June. ” “ Are they with you still? ” “ Virtually, sir.
hvd.hwrffb	They say so, but I had no interest in looking. ” “ Why, may I ask?
hvd.hwrffb	Third, was it a murder?
hvd.hwrffb	Third: was it a murder?
hvd.hwrffb	This couple was of the kind what do n't. ” “ Did you sweep the room after their departure?"

hvd.hwrffb	Was I dreaming?
hvd.hwrffb	Was I going to allow these proud young misses to think I had exerted myself to please them?
hvd.hwrffb	Was her tone refined and her language good? ” “ They were, sir."
hvd.hwrffb	Was it a look from Franklin which made him stop?
hvd.hwrffb	Was it before either of them entered Mr. Van Burnam's house?
hvd.hwrffb	Was it his handwrit- ing we see in your register? ” “ No, sir.
hvd.hwrffb	Was it in that condition when sent? ” “ It was not, sir."
hvd.hwrffb	Was it in the morning or late in the afternoon she came? ” “ Do n't you know, ma'am?
hvd.hwrffb	Was it in the morning or late in the afternoon she came? ” “ Do n't you know, ma'am?
hvd.hwrffb	Was it the body of any one you know? ” “ I do not think so."

hvd.hwrffb	Was she dressed well, or did her clothes look shabby? ” “ She came on the very day I advertised; the eigh.
hvd.hwrffb	Was she not pretty?
hvd.hwrffb	Was she not very pretty when in distress and looking up thus?
hvd.hwrffb	Was she throttled or stabbed with a knife? ” “ I have said the means were peculiar.
hvd.hwrffb	Was that hand the hand of her husband?
hvd.hwrffb	Was there any one here to admit them?"
hvd.hwrffb	Was there any other wound upon her which you regard as mortal?"
hvd.hwrffb	We have informed you that we have new and startling evidence against the older brother; should not that be sufficient for you?"
hvd.hwrffb	Well, she is in good hands; with Mrs. Desberger, in short; a woman whom I believe you know. ” “ With Mrs. Desberger? ” I was surprised.
hvd.hwrffb	Were they in your possessiou then?"
hvd.hwrffb	Were you not the woman who entered Mr. Van Burnam's house at midnight with this man?"
hvd.hwrffb	What am I to gather from such levity?
hvd.hwrffb	What are you thinking of?'
hvd.hwrffb	What connection is there between this fact and an endeavor on your part to find your wife? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	What could have happened to her?
hvd.hwrffb	What did it mean?
hvd.hwrffb	What did the poor thing mean?
hvd.hwrffb	What did the woman want?
hvd.hwrffb	What do you say, Miss Oliver? ” “ That you are God's messenger to me, ” burst from the other, as if her tongue had been suddenly loosed.
hvd.hwrffb	What do you think the ingenious user of such an in- strument would do with it?"
hvd.hwrffb	What do you think?"
hvd.hwrffb	What has made you change your mind?".
hvd.hwrffb	What makes you think I know anything about her?
hvd.hwrffb	What name does she go by? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	What night were these people here?"
hvd.hwrffb	What reason have you for this statement?".

hvd.hwrffb	What should she do to escape it?
hvd.hwrffb	What was I to think?
hvd.hwrffb	What was coming?
hvd.hwrffb	What was in those packages, and where did you dispose of them before you entered the second carriage? ” Howard made no demur in answering.
hvd.hwrffb	What way do you see out of the difficulty? ” “ Only this.
hvd.hwrffb	What way?
hvd.hwrffb	What will you say to her?
hvd.hwrffb	What would be the verdict of the jury, and could this especial jury be relied upon to give a just verdict?
hvd.hwrffb	What young girl?
hvd.hwrffb	When will father and Franklin come back?
hvd.hwrffb	Where is the man?
hvd.hwrffb	Where should she go?
hvd.hwrffb	Where where was that hat found? ” stammered the witness, so far forgetting himself as to point towards the object in question.
hvd.hwrffb	Where, then, could they have thrust them? ” My eyes, as I muttered this, were on the one shop in my line of vision that was still open and lighted.
hvd.hwrffb	Whereabouts in Franklin Van Burnam's desk were these rings found, and how do you know that his brother did not put them there? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	Which of the two had perished?
hvd.hwrffb	Which?

hvd.hwrffb	Why?"
hvd.hwrffb	Will it continue to remain a secret, or shall I see it in the faces of all my fellow- boarders to- morrow?'
hvd.hwrffb	Will it not all come out in the papers a few hours hence, and have I not earned as much at your hands as the reporters?"
hvd.hwrffb	Will you allow me to wake her?"
hvd.hwrffb	Will you tell me what it was that gave point to your assertion?"
hvd.hwrffb	Would not this account for all the phenom- ena to be observed in connection with this otherwise unexplainable affair?
hvd.hwrffb	Would you be able to identify him on sight? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	Would you like to see those adver- tisements?
hvd.hwrffb	Yes. ” “ Will you give us that reason? ” “ I had more than one.

hvd.hwrffb	You mean old woman, do you not?
hvd.hwrffb	You surely saw one or both of them then? ” “ No, sir, I did n't.

hvd.hwrffb	“ All were in perfect order?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Also new? ” I suggested.
hvd.hwrffb	“ And Franklin proceed on his way undisturbed? ” She tried not to answer, but the words would come.
hvd.hwrffb	“ And Howard heard it?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And are you ready to accept the consequences? ” “ If any especial consequences follow, I must accept them, sir."
hvd.hwrffb	“ And asked to be let in?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And did not they — my father and brother, I mean-recognize her?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And did you change your mind at the second? ” He looked troubled, but answered firmly: “ No, i can not say that I did.
hvd.hwrffb	“ And from this you concluded she was not your wife?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And has remained for the most part in her own apartment?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And his height? ” “ Was medium, and his figure slight and elegant.
hvd.hwrffb	“ And how come you to be cleaning the house?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And it was Franklin who connived at your change of clothing there, and advised or allowed you to dress yourself in a new suit from Altman's?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And may I ask for what purpose you used this dis- guise, and allowed your wife to sign a wrong name? ” “ To satisfy a freak.
hvd.hwrffb	“ And may I ask if you have been so good as to bring it with you? ” He was playing with me, this aged and reputable detective.
hvd.hwrffb	“ And now what have you to tell me?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ And now, when may we ex- pect to hear from you again?".

hvd.hwrffb	“ Doctor,"continued the Coroner, as soon as the murmur had subsided, “ did you notice the color of the woman's hair?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Doctor,"he asked, “ are you prepared to say how long a time elapsed between the infliction of this fatal wound and those which disfigured her?".

hvd.hwrffb	“ Is it your wife's hat? ” persisted the Coroner with MISS BUTTERWORTH'S WINDOW.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Is not that a ring I see now on your little finger? ” “ It is; my seal ring which I always wear. ” “ Will you pull it off?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Is not that a ring I see now on your little finger? ” “ It is; my seal ring which I always wear. ” “ Will you pull it off?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Is that a last spring's hat? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Is there any one in the room back there?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Is there any way of getting a carriage?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Is this the lady who left the clothes here a few nights ago?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ It was Franklin who was with you at the Hotel D-?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Just as Miss Ferguson has described. ” “ Did she bring her hand- bag to your house? ” “ Yes, and left it there.
hvd.hwrffb	“ M ADAM, I hope I see you satisfied?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ May I ask, ” said he, “ where the transference of these keys took place?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Meanwhile we must ask how many rings your wife is in the habit of wearing? ” “ Five.
hvd.hwrffb	“ No; but it began very soon after. ” “ Did you examine the wounds made by the falling shelves and the vases that tumbled with them?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ No; he would not look at it. ” “ Did you invite him to? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Nor ring the bell? ”"No."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Nor you? ” I urged, carelessly, turning towards Caroline.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Now, what does this mean? ” asked Mr. Alvord.
hvd.hwrffb	“ O no, sir. ” “ And Mr. Van Burnam?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Of course I will stay here; why not?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Of course; would you have me keep them for treas- ures?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Of the three persons mentioned. ” “ No others? ”"No."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Of what color?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Of what rings do you speak, madam?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Satisfied?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Shall I put Mr. Gryce on his oath again? ” asked the Coroner, mildly.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Shall I wait outside till you have had yours?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Shall we go to Arnold's? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Shall we humor Miss Butterworth? ” asked the Inspector.
hvd.hwrffb	“ She had the gossamer on still, then?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ She must have pulled those things over herself, do n't you think so, ma'am?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Similar to this? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ So that she might have worn any dress under that gossamer? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ And any hat under that veil? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ So that she might have worn any dress under that gossamer? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ And any hat under that veil? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ So that you merely went up the stoop and down again at the time Mr. Stone saw you? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ So that you would not know him if you saw him again?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Sufficiently so; as well as I know that of my ordi- nary calling- acquaintance. ” “ Was she light or dark? ” “ She had brown hair."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Talk? ” “ Of other matters besides business, I mean.
hvd.hwrffb	“ The house in which this dead girl was found? ” “ Yes,”-impatiently.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Then who is, ” I corrected, “ the best person after D'Aubigny?
hvd.hwrffb	“ They were. ” “ Did she always wear them? ” “ Almost always.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Till the next morning. ” “ And how was she dressed?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ To- morrow, then? ” said I.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Unless necessary, I prefer not to say. ” “ It is necessary. ” “ I went to Coney Island. ” “ Alone?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was Howard at his wife's funeral?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was it a lady's voice?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was it an unhappy one? ” “ It was not a suitable one."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was it not, Mr. Gryce?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was it on the right foot?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was that found in my father's house?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was that not opposed to your usual principles — to your way of doing things, I should say? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was that the only clock you wound? ” “ Only clock?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Was that the only clock you wound? ” “ Only clock?
hvd.hwrffb	“ We have had no quarrel. ” “ Did he return the keys you lent him?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Well, afterwards? ” “ The deed he had thought so complete began to assume a different aspect.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Well, ” said he, “ what about the visitor who came to see me last night? ”"Like and unlike,"I answered.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What about the pin- cushion? ” I asked.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What are you looking at there? ” growled the policeman.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What can I do for you? ” “ I wish to buy me a dress,"was her unexpected reply.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What do you want? ” I asked, not understanding her and having nothing to conceal.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What do you wish? ” asked Mr. Gryce.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What has happened?
hvd.hwrffb	“ What is your full name, and where do you live?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ What is your name? ” asked the Coroner.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What kind of a dress do you want?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ What kind of a parcel? ”"A brown- paper parcel, like clothing done up."
hvd.hwrffb	“ What kind of a scar?
hvd.hwrffb	“ What name did you say? ” cried Mrs. Desberger, eager enough to learn all she could of her late mysteri- ous lodger.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What reason did she give for wanting to stay in the house all night? ” “ What reason, ma'am?
hvd.hwrffb	“ What reason did she give for wanting to stay in the house all night? ” “ What reason, ma'am?
hvd.hwrffb	“ What reasons have you to urge in ex- planation of it? ” “ Very simple and very well known ones; at least, among the profession.
hvd.hwrffb	“ What was the amount, may I ask? ” “ Here is our cash- book, sir.
hvd.hwrffb	“ When did they leave?
hvd.hwrffb	“ When did you go? ” “ At five, ma'am; I always go at five."
hvd.hwrffb	“ When did you lose the keys which you say you have not now in your possession?
hvd.hwrffb	“ When did you reach your rooms?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ When we found it, do you mean?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Where do you live?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Which brother? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Which of you was the first to go through the rooms upstairs?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Which the deceased also has? ” “ That I do not know.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Who are you? ” I asked.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Who are you?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Who carried the articles ordered, to the address given? ” “ A man in our employ, named Clapp."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Who's hurt? ” “ Is it a man? ” “ Is it a woman?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Who's hurt? ” “ Is it a man? ” “ Is it a woman?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Who's hurt? ” “ Is it a man? ” “ Is it a woman?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Whose is this?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why do you call it new?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why do you say mur- dered? ” For reply I drew from my pocket the bill on which I had scribbled my conclusions in regard to this matter.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why do you speak to me of my maid in one breath and of a girl in gray in another?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why not, if you left your wife within, alive and well?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why should you think I had anything to confide?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why were you at this house two days ago? ” “ To scrub the kitchen floors, sir, and put the pan- tries in order."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Why?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will we? ” thought I.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will you be so good, madam, as to relate over again, what you saw from your window last night?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will you give me that?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will you not sit down? ” he suggested.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will you not take a look at her?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will you send for one from your office, Coroner Dahl?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Will you state on what line of cars you came from your office? ” “ I came up Third Avenue. ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwrffb	“ Would you know them if they were shown you? ”"I would know them if they unlocked our front door."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes, ma'am. ” “ Young Mrs. Van Burnam?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes, sir, on the walk outside. ” “ Was she then on the way to the train? ” “ Yes, sir."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes, sir. ” “ And a veil? ” “ Yes, sir. ”"Only that the hat it covered was smaller?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes, sir. ” “ And a veil? ” “ Yes, sir. ”"Only that the hat it covered was smaller?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes, sir. ” “ And now, how did you account to yourself for the parcel and the change of hat?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes, why not; what have they in common?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes. ” “ Did you see anybody there you know?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yes; Mrs. Van Burnam carried a bag, but it was a very small one. ” “ Large enough to hold a dress? ”.
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yet you must have followed very closely behind him?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yet you must have seen that the woman was in the habit of wearing rings, even if they were not on her hands at that moment? ” “ Why, sir?
hvd.hwrffb	“ Yet you must have seen that the woman was in the habit of wearing rings, even if they were not on her hands at that moment? ” “ Why, sir?
hvd.hwrffb	“ You are Miss Butterworth? ” he inquired.
hvd.hwrffb	“ You are in doubt, then, concerning him? ” “ I am. ” Mr. Gryce bowed, reminded me of the inquest, and left.
hvd.hwrffb	“ You are, then, the Mr. James Pope, whose wife registered in the books of the Hotel D- on the seven- teenth of this month?".
hvd.hwrffb	“ You did? ” murmured my interlocutor, whom I had by this time decided to be a detective.
hvd.hwrffb	“ You do n't like it? ” I remarked.
hvd.hwrffb	“ You do not?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ You have read Poe's story of the filigree basket? ” he now suggested, running his finger up and down the filigree work he himself held.
hvd.hwrffb	“ You hear what this gentleman calls you? ” said he.
hvd.hwrffb	“ You lost the keys; may I ask when and where?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ You tellee me lalee die; how him lalee when lalee die?"
hvd.hwrffb	“ You then acknowledge the victim to have been your wife? ” “ I do."
hvd.hwrffb	“ You think she's sane? ” “ I do."
hvd.hwrffb	“ Young ladies, what do you think of this?

mdp.39015030728094	A perfect gent'man I ’d call him. ” “ You knew him? ” asked Miss Townsend.
mdp.39015030728094	And that ’s the reason I asked you so many questions. ” “ But why do you ask questions? ” inquired Miss Townsend suddenly.
mdp.39015030728094	And they were all three in your room last night? ” “ They were, worse luck.
mdp.39015030728094	And what do you think?
mdp.39015030728094	And what is Barclay Leland run- ning away for?
mdp.39015030728094	And what was he up to at your end of the car? ” Durkin tossed his cigarette over the rail and lit another.
mdp.39015030728094	Are n’t you interested in murders, Mrs. Gray? ” she added plaintively.
mdp.39015030728094	Before you left your berth, did you hear anyone moving around? ” “ No, suh.
mdp.39015030728094	Both of us forgot it in a minute. ” “ Did n't you quarrel about that girl? ” “ What girl? ” “ Miss Le Grand, ” Durkin thundered.
mdp.39015030728094	Both of us forgot it in a minute. ” “ Did n't you quarrel about that girl? ” “ What girl? ” “ Miss Le Grand, ” Durkin thundered.
mdp.39015030728094	But first, what possible precautions could he take to conceal any traces of his presence in this room?
mdp.39015030728094	But to sit down and talk to one — that really warmed my heart. ” “ So he was talking to a down- and- outer? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030728094	But was he dead?
mdp.39015030728094	But what was this club you held over Jones's head?
mdp.39015030728094	But where was he between two o'clock in the morn- ing and six?
mdp.39015030728094	But, when it comes to fighting for my property, I ’m a Lion of Judah. ” “ And then, what? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030728094	Did you expect to give all the money you got from Jones, supposing he let you have any, to Strang?
mdp.39015030728094	Did you hear anything? ” “ I swear, ” she replied earnestly, “ after the party I went right off sound asleep.
mdp.39015030728094	Did you leave your berth last night? ” Miss Townsend leaned forward intently.
mdp.39015030728094	Do I have to answer these questions? ” “ You certainly do, ” Durkin insisted.
mdp.39015030728094	Do n’t you think he's a charming, fascinating sort of man? ” Miss Townsend looked hard into the soft, dark eyes.
mdp.39015030728094	Do you live in New Orleans? ” “ No, we travel around a lot.
mdp.39015030728094	Durkin? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030728094	From the fourteenth floor, one hundred and fifty feet above the ground, how should he reach the street undetected?
mdp.39015030728094	Give himself up?
mdp.39015030728094	Had Davidson gone back a second time?
mdp.39015030728094	Had anyone recognized him when he came to this apartment?
mdp.39015030728094	He got on the through train to New Orleans, and so did I. ” “ Did he see you on that train? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030728094	He said if I pressed him too far he'd commit suicide be- fore he ’d give me anything. ” “ What did he say? ” exclaimed Holcombe.
mdp.39015030728094	He ’d stolen the Goldstein jewelry, but what good was it if he was without money?
mdp.39015030728094	He's traveling under an assumed name; he tries to hide his identity — why?
mdp.39015030728094	How did he get the[ I21] MURDER OF A MISSING MAN money?
mdp.39015030728094	How do you get out of Hudson?
mdp.39015030728094	How do you know? ” “ Aw, how do I know? ” he muttered, in such a low tone that it was difficult to catch his words.
mdp.39015030728094	How do you know? ” “ Aw, how do I know? ” he muttered, in such a low tone that it was difficult to catch his words.
mdp.39015030728094	How in hell can I get a policeman for you? ” “ All right, ” cried Goldstein even more loudly than before.
mdp.39015030728094	How should I know who he is? ” replied the[ 39] MURDER OF A MISSING MAN conductor peevishly.
mdp.39015030728094	I do n’t care how you get it, but get it. ” Do you know Strang? ” Davidson asked suddenly.
mdp.39015030728094	I have very sharp ears, you know. ” “ Did you see anyone? ” asked Miss Townsend.
mdp.39015030728094	I just like to tour around. ” “ Have n't you got a home?
mdp.39015030728094	I picked up what I could find, but what does it amount to?
mdp.39015030728094	I plumb forgot all about it in five minutes. ” “ Ever kill a man? ” asked the Captain softly.
mdp.39015030728094	I travel a great deal. ” “ What do you travel for? ” “ Pleasure.
mdp.39015030728094	I was surprised to meet him here. ” “ Oh, you were? ” said Durkin with a sneer.
mdp.39015030728094	I yelled “ Solly, what's the matter?'
mdp.39015030728094	I ’ve started something, too; you ’ll see when the wrecking train gets here. ”[ Io2] OFF THE TRACK “ What is it?
mdp.39015030728094	Is n’t that the way it was? ” She nodded.
mdp.39015030728094	Know any- one who fits that picture?
mdp.39015030728094	Leave Jim out of it; he was n’t there. ” “ He was n’t there?
mdp.39015030728094	Leland?
mdp.39015030728094	My Lawd, w”at nex ’? ” There was no result from the search of the bed- ding.
mdp.39015030728094	Now what on earth could take that old man toward the rear of the train at two o'clock in the morning?
mdp.39015030728094	Now, did you hear him before old Scuff- Scuff came by, or after? ” “ A little before, ” Miss Townsend replied.
mdp.39015030728094	Now, have you anything against him outside of a general suspicion? ” Goldstein, murmuring “ A detective! ” subsided.
mdp.39015030728094	Now, one thing I ’d like to know is, why was this door left open?
mdp.39015030728094	Now, who could have killed him, when we're all strangers to him and to each other?
mdp.39015030728094	Now, will you ask the conductor to hold the train, while I get my hat?
mdp.39015030728094	Oh dear, now why should that repulsive old crea- ture be aboard?
mdp.39015030728094	Say — ” Durkin interrupted himself suddenly — “ does that description remind you of anyone? ” Miss Townsend's eyes narrowed.
mdp.39015030728094	Shall I read it to you? ” “ If you like, ” Strang answered.
mdp.39015030728094	She tells me she knows men from the ground up. ” “ Oh yeah?
mdp.39015030728094	Should I raise an alarm?
mdp.39015030728094	Should he raise an alarm?
mdp.39015030728094	So I tiptoed into the passage- way and peeped around the curtain of the smoking- room, and what did I see? ” Goldstein paused impressively.
mdp.39015030728094	So ah puts mah key in de do ’ — ” “ Was it locked? ” asked Durkin quickly.
mdp.39015030728094	So now the question is, who killed him?
mdp.39015030728094	So she asked me what she should do, and I advised her to hide it. ” “ Why should she want to hide it?
mdp.39015030728094	Something sinister in these stealthy movements?
mdp.39015030728094	Tell that boob of a con- ductor?
mdp.39015030728094	That being the case, why was he traveling on this train?
mdp.39015030728094	That's life, so why worry?
mdp.39015030728094	The description fits, and the initials in his hatband are B. L. They do n't stand for C. Milton Davidson, do they?
mdp.39015030728094	The next day he got on this train for El Paso and so did I. ” “ Where did you meet young Strang? ” asked Hol- combe.
mdp.39015030728094	The squirrels and the sparrows chattering and twittering in the trees about would be fed then, but how about these for- lorn people?
mdp.39015030728094	Then I heard whispers. ” “ Whispers? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015030728094	Then I peeped out through the opening between the curtains. ” “ What did you see? ” inquired the traveling man eagerly.
mdp.39015030728094	Then he became[ 18] “ BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE ME A DIME? ” aware that his companion was watching him sharply.
mdp.39015030728094	There may be a reason why he is afraid now to display that ring. ” “ What reason? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030728094	There were lights enough for that. ” “ Did you sleep any of the time? ” The brakeman was positive that he had not.
mdp.39015030728094	There's some kind of lit- erary term for that sort of thing; what is it, Miss Townsend? ” “ Irony of fate, ” she replied.
mdp.39015030728094	Wake peo- ple up?
mdp.39015030728094	Was he dead, Barclay asked himself in agony, fixing his gaze on the face turned up to his as if those parted lips could an- swer?
mdp.39015030728094	Was there danger abroad?
mdp.39015030728094	Well, what does that mean?
mdp.39015030728094	Well, where did he go?
mdp.39015030728094	Well, who is he?
mdp.39015030728094	What about?
mdp.39015030728094	What do you mean? ” “ I happen to know that Miss Le Grand boarded the train at San Antonio at about eight o'clock last evening.
mdp.39015030728094	What do you say to that? ”[ 141] MURDER OF A MISSING MAN Slowly and with a great effort Miss Le Grand began to regain her self- control.
mdp.39015030728094	What does the Law do to one who has killed a man?
mdp.39015030728094	What had happened to it last night?
mdp.39015030728094	What is the connection between these two?
mdp.39015030728094	What on earth could he be hiding, thought Miss Townsend, agog with excitement?
mdp.39015030728094	What use is the paper to you, or your friend here, anyway? ” “ Jes ’ wanted to pick off some numbers to play policy, ” muttered Theophilus.
mdp.39015030728094	What was happening in this darkened car, she wondered, while her heart beat quickly?
mdp.39015030728094	What was it?
mdp.39015030728094	What's the other bit of information? ” he asked abruptly.
mdp.39015030728094	What's the proposition? ” Barclay swallowed a little, and then decided to take the leap.
mdp.39015030728094	When and how? ” “ I have never met a real detective, ” she replied, “ but I ’ve read about them in fiction.
mdp.39015030728094	Where did they come from?
mdp.39015030728094	Where does he come from? ” “ Well, that's a funny part of this business, ” Dur- kin replied.
mdp.39015030728094	Where's the porter of this car? ” “ Hyah ah is, suh. ” The voice of Theophilus sounded from somewhere in the press.
mdp.39015030728094	Where? ” “ Out in the desert in the dark.
mdp.39015030728094	Who are the people on this train, isolated from police ma- chinery?
mdp.39015030728094	Who had owned it?
mdp.39015030728094	Who is he?
mdp.39015030728094	Who was angry?
mdp.39015030728094	Who was there then?
mdp.39015030728094	Who would kill anybody? ” “ Have n’t you heard? ” asked the widow, with the pleased air of one who has something worth while to impart.
mdp.39015030728094	Who would kill anybody? ” “ Have n’t you heard? ” asked the widow, with the pleased air of one who has something worth while to impart.
mdp.39015030728094	Who's Bark? ” The question sounded like a dog's bark, sudden and threatening.
mdp.39015030728094	Why in hell does he let his wife go round all decked out like a jewelry store, and not expect to be robbed?
mdp.39015030728094	Why should something steal noiselessly past her berth?
mdp.39015030728094	Why was he afraid of you? ” “ I knew he had committed a crime, ” Davidson answered in a low voice.
mdp.39015030728094	Why?
mdp.39015030728094	Why?
mdp.39015030728094	Why?
mdp.39015030728094	Wish I ’d gone to bed early like a good little gur’rl. ” “ You played cards? ” the Captain continued, in his gentle, insinuating manner.

mdp.39015030728094	“ All right, then; Jim did it. ” “ Jim? ” “ Yes, he got the money that was in the dead man's room.

mdp.39015030728094	“ Brother, ” he said, “ could you spare me a cigarette? ” Barclay opened his gold case, and offered it to the stranger.
mdp.39015030728094	“ But how do you know he was murdered? ” “ There was an attempt, ” Durkin replied seri- ously, “ to make the thing look like suicide.

mdp.39015013423283	Do n't you think the local police should be informed?
mdp.39015013423283	Do n't you want the creature to be caught?
mdp.39015013423283	Do n't you · 58 MURDER COULD NOT KILL realize that at best you will be suspected, questioned, and suffer hell generally? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	Do you actually tell me that he does n't know you have been helping him?"
mdp.39015013423283	Do you live far from here?
mdp.39015013423283	Do you remember using it the night you mur- dered Sherwood Dexter- eh?"
mdp.39015013423283	Do you think it possible that Lessing realizes you're not so sure of him — that you sus- pect him in any way?
mdp.39015013423283	Do you think this is possible?
mdp.39015013423283	Do you want to get in?"
mdp.39015013423283	Does he know you're down here? ” She shook her head.
mdp.39015013423283	Does n't it remotely occur to you that the police can look into them better than you?
mdp.39015013423283	D’you mean to tell me you come along here, and — you're sure there's nothing wrong? ” “ What could there be?
mdp.39015013423283	D’you mean to tell me you come along here, and — you're sure there's nothing wrong? ” “ What could there be?
mdp.39015013423283	D’you think as I'm in love with it myself?
mdp.39015013423283	D’you think it's on the level? ” Trevor continued grimly.
mdp.39015013423283	D’you want to risk my neck? ” Her head moved in terrified disavowal; but she still did not go.
mdp.39015013423283	Espe- cially, in the circumstances, with him?
mdp.39015013423283	First and very important: any danger that Brett may reveal that you've been helping him?
mdp.39015013423283	Foster?"
mdp.39015013423283	Get a doctor?
mdp.39015013423283	Get that?
mdp.39015013423283	Good God, have you no soul above mere lucre?
mdp.39015013423283	Had he been absurd in his fears?
mdp.39015013423283	Had he been drinking when you met him?"
mdp.39015013423283	Had her alarm been real or assumed?
mdp.39015013423283	Had she been concerned in their schemes?
mdp.39015013423283	Had she forgotten that they had last parted on unhappy terms?
mdp.39015013423283	Had she?
mdp.39015013423283	Has he never spoken to you, Hester, never come right face to face with you in London here? ” Hester Rogan slowly shook her bowed head.
mdp.39015013423283	Has n't nobody around here gotten any sort of a wet drink?
mdp.39015013423283	Has your latest misleading lady handed you the ice- bowl and given you the dull thud?"
mdp.39015013423283	Have n't I gone over all that al- ready?
mdp.39015013423283	Have n't you done so here, by the way?
mdp.39015013423283	Have they to get off scot free?"
mdp.39015013423283	Have you seen him- do you know?"
mdp.39015013423283	He did not care to trouble her with questions at such a time, but he could not restrain himself from asking tentatively:"London is not your home?"
mdp.39015013423283	Hidden?
mdp.39015013423283	Honestly, I was quite glad he did n't retaliate in the same direction to any extent. ” “ What did you say his name was?-Maurice Gordon?
mdp.39015013423283	Honestly, I was quite glad he did n't retaliate in the same direction to any extent. ” “ What did you say his name was?-Maurice Gordon?
mdp.39015013423283	How can it be fixed in time?
mdp.39015013423283	How could any one believe that?
mdp.39015013423283	How could he know that I had learned who he really was?
mdp.39015013423283	How did it come about that Mr. Lessing made this threatening gesture to you which re- sulted in your seeing the scar on his arm? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	How in heaven's name did she come on the job?"
mdp.39015013423283	How much d'you think he's rumbled? ”"It fair beats me,"answered the other as he got to his feet and started to move nervously about the little room.
mdp.39015013423283	How the blazes could she, without giving herself away?
mdp.39015013423283	How would it be if we took a walk through the Park?
mdp.39015013423283	How would that do? ” “ Splendidly: I have a lot in hand just now.
mdp.39015013423283	How's that, artist man? ” “ My dear, you've missed your vocation.
mdp.39015013423283	How's that?"
mdp.39015013423283	I did all that you told me to do, did n't I?"
mdp.39015013423283	I did n't see the bonnet. ” “ What about you, Laurette? ” Lessing proceeded.
mdp.39015013423283	I do n't suffer from that female weakness, the headache complex. ”"Would you rather I came back later?
mdp.39015013423283	I got no note from Miss van Buren. ” “ You did n't?
mdp.39015013423283	I got that information only yesterday. ” “ Does he suspect you sent it?"
mdp.39015013423283	I have a certain right to know your intentions, since circumstances have implicated me in the matter. ” “ Circumstances?
mdp.39015013423283	I just ca n't understand- it. ” “ Why, whatever is the matter?
mdp.39015013423283	I knew, for example, that he was a murderer in fact, just as to- night he was by intention. ” “ Of whom? ” demanded the detective sharply.
mdp.39015013423283	I mean in this deal?-you did n't feel he was keeping anything back? ”"I feel there was n't anything he had to keep back.
mdp.39015013423283	I mean to quit and clear- I know the signs. ”"When?"
mdp.39015013423283	I mean, have you exhibited at all- or had any shows on your own?
mdp.39015013423283	I mean, was he inclined to be violent- liable to go off at the deep end?
mdp.39015013423283	I only discovered to- night who he was. ” “ Yes; what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015013423283	I quite naturally wanted to know why he was having my movements followed. ” “ Yes: well: go on: what happened? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	I say, Prosser, how high up are you here? ” 156 MURDER COULD NOT KILL “ Not more than six or eight hundred feet, sir."
mdp.39015013423283	I say, what about going over there and doing a little intelligent in- vestigating?
mdp.39015013423283	I should imagine it's been losing money right from the start. ” “ You have n't heard who is behind it?"
mdp.39015013423283	I simply ca n't spell the word risk then. ” “ You mean to tell him that and nothing more? ”"I ca n't tell him moremnor is it necessary: not yet.
mdp.39015013423283	I take it you mean I was shadowed be- cause I was seen following Miss Dexter? ” “ You may take what you please.
mdp.39015013423283	I waited and waited, but not hear- ing from you- however, here you are: what shall we do?
mdp.39015013423283	I won- der who put the crape on your door at the finish?
mdp.39015013423283	I wonder who else you crossed?"
mdp.39015013423283	I'll say, though, that I'd be more ready to accept it had you been frank with me. ” “ You mean I should have told you I'd followed you?
mdp.39015013423283	I'm afraid you're on a hopeless quest. ” “ I am, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	I'm prac- tically all right now, though. ”"Your head?
mdp.39015013423283	I'm sorry you take it as 56 MURDER COULD NOT KILL “ You mean- surely you ca n't mean you intended helping him?"
mdp.39015013423283	If I had once let that perisher blow the gaff on his- self and I had n't gone right off to Scotland Yard what'd he have thought?
mdp.39015013423283	If so, why?
mdp.39015013423283	In any case, you've been bitten by that yourself, or you would n't have started this ‘ valuable'paper- wasn't that what our lady- friend called it?
mdp.39015013423283	In the door- way she added: “ I suppose everybody's gone?
mdp.39015013423283	Indeed, no one ever goes near the whole top floor at any time. ” “ What about Mr. Lessing?
mdp.39015013423283	Is Maurice in?
mdp.39015013423283	Is n't it a piece of luck, though, that he was n't? ”"H'm.
mdp.39015013423283	Is n't that proof of my love?
mdp.39015013423283	It is merely be- cause you think he is innocent that you have been shielding him?"
mdp.39015013423283	It must, of coạrse, strike you that you're not paying me nearly enough? ” “ You would pounce on that.
mdp.39015013423283	It seemed absolutely absurd. ” “ Why more absurd then than it is now?"
mdp.39015013423283	It was lying clear, I take it?"
mdp.39015013423283	It's Foster, ai n't it? ” the other proceeded swiftly before Robin could continue.
mdp.39015013423283	Jack Sheean?
mdp.39015013423283	Just as when you tried to do in Mr. Foster, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	Just what is it that's puzzling you most? ”"Why there should be this arrangement to kill you. ” “ Good man.
mdp.39015013423283	Laurette, what are you going to do with him?
mdp.39015013423283	Lessing closed the door of the recess carefully before he demanded:"Nobody saw you? ”"No; I do n't think so.
mdp.39015013423283	Letter?
mdp.39015013423283	Like to come back in and have tea and talk there? ” By this time she had joined him and stood by his side.
mdp.39015013423283	Look here, Gideon, what microbe has got hold of you?
mdp.39015013423283	MURDER COULD NOT KILL 103"Mr. Lessing? ” Laurette said interrogatively, observing that the butler did not immediately usher her forward.
mdp.39015013423283	MURDER COULD NOT KILL 191"Is that so? ” said the inspector, making a not- too- successful effort to disguise his keenly aroused interest.
mdp.39015013423283	MURDER COULD NOT KILL 53 “ Eh? ” ejaculated Robin, staring at her.
mdp.39015013423283	MURDER COULD NOT KILL “ Who was it?
mdp.39015013423283	May I not go to see my fiancé?
mdp.39015013423283	Meantime, will you have something to drink? ”"Not for me, ” Gordon replied abruptly as he watched him under his heavy lids.
mdp.39015013423283	News from Wichington? ” “ Everything.
mdp.39015013423283	Nothing whatever? ”"No, nothing of significance.
mdp.39015013423283	Now, tell me, did your father ever speak to you of Brett? ”"Only occasionally- never directly.
mdp.39015013423283	Now, what have you to tell me? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	Now, what object could he have in shooting Sherwood Dexter? ” “ I have wondered myself from the moment I saw that scar.
mdp.39015013423283	Now, why should he have done that?
mdp.39015013423283	Oh, Robin, what can have happened? ” Laurette stammered blankly.
mdp.39015013423283	On the other hand, if Lessing knew, what use was he going to make of the knowledge?
mdp.39015013423283	Or drugged?
mdp.39015013423283	Or to your home?
mdp.39015013423283	Or what he wanted Mr. Dexter for?"
mdp.39015013423283	Our imme- diate problem is: who the devil is it that has wafted Brett away?
mdp.39015013423283	Perhaps you would care to come in and wait?
mdp.39015013423283	Peter Lessing's. ”"What? ” The detective jerked forward; he had spoken in a whisper.
mdp.39015013423283	Peter, you're not regretting that Laurette Dexter, are you?
mdp.39015013423283	Please count me as a friend. ” “ That's just too sweet of you — Miss Dexter, is n't it?
mdp.39015013423283	Precisely in what way had Lessing learned that?
mdp.39015013423283	Quarrel?
mdp.39015013423283	Refuse to give it to her?
mdp.39015013423283	Remember you made the same accusation against me?
mdp.39015013423283	Remorse?
mdp.39015013423283	Robin declined and she continued:"You're quite a young man, Mr. Foster; have you done much?
mdp.39015013423283	Run the car to get both the near wheels over his neck, see?
mdp.39015013423283	See?
mdp.39015013423283	See?
mdp.39015013423283	See?
mdp.39015013423283	Seen anybody around? ”"Nobody but the stage manager,"Hester Rogan answered, 136 MURDER COULD NOT KILL somehow queer.
mdp.39015013423283	She could n't have been there by accident- could she? ” he added angrily.
mdp.39015013423283	Should he try to effect an entrance into “ The Man with a Scythe"to see if Laurette were all right- or was it a matter for the police?
mdp.39015013423283	Since he was marrying Miss Dexter, however was n't that almost as good as having it?
mdp.39015013423283	So I did n't like to leave him too flat- you know what I mean?
mdp.39015013423283	So she was engaged?
mdp.39015013423283	Some one who had taken mighty good care not to leave the impression of his own finger- prints on it? ” She asked the question challengingly.
mdp.39015013423283	Sorry to be so very personal, but even in the matter of his will is n't it to your advantage?
mdp.39015013423283	Strange, is n't it, that the murderer dropped his weapon?
mdp.39015013423283	Sure you wo n't have a drink?"
mdp.39015013423283	Surely you can explain- make me under- stand?
mdp.39015013423283	Surely you have no objection? ” “ I? ” he said quickly.
mdp.39015013423283	Surely you have no objection? ” “ I? ” he said quickly.
mdp.39015013423283	Telephone the cottage and leave a message for him when he arrives? ” The man looked at her with an apprehensive movement of dissent.
mdp.39015013423283	Thanks very much. ” “ Shall I let him know who...?"
mdp.39015013423283	That has been arranged. ” “ The servants here? ”"None of them know anything about him.
mdp.39015013423283	That the blow would fall unexpectedly. ” “ Did he tell you who this old enemy was? ” “ Of course.
mdp.39015013423283	That would make him sit up, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	That's a teaser, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	That, by the way, seems true enough; in some way Brett must have been after him, or why has n't he faced the music?
mdp.39015013423283	The States? ” Lessing glanced at him sharply, and then slowly shook his head.
mdp.39015013423283	The lock has n't been forced or anything?"
mdp.39015013423283	Then he added with cutting sar- casm: “ You, I fancy, wish to be recompensed for your gal- lantry, and so on, is that it?
mdp.39015013423283	Then: “ What's come over you, Robin Foster?"
mdp.39015013423283	There was a knock at the door and a voice: “ May I come in, darling?"
mdp.39015013423283	There's no necessity to mention it to her at any time — understand?
mdp.39015013423283	They did n't say as they've found any one who saw him after me, did they? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	They're just about due now, anyway, are they not?"
mdp.39015013423283	Think you can run over me because you've got your own bunch back of you, huh?"
mdp.39015013423283	This is n't what's known as Lessing's room, is it?"
mdp.39015013423283	This pose you suggest is how you first saw me, is n't it? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015013423283	Under- stand?
mdp.39015013423283	Want to lift my face, too?
mdp.39015013423283	Was he aggressive?
mdp.39015013423283	Was he drunk when you met him?"
mdp.39015013423283	Was it possible that Lessing knew all about her visit to"The Man with a Scythe"and deliberately was lying low?
mdp.39015013423283	Was it purely by chance you exam- ined that pistol to- night? ” The other averted her eyes.
mdp.39015013423283	Was it she who had warned him that the police were on his track?
mdp.39015013423283	Was it sincere?
mdp.39015013423283	Was n't being Peter Lessing bad enough? ” “ Lessing was n't his name when I knew him ten years ago.
mdp.39015013423283	Was n't that Miss van Buren's message?"
mdp.39015013423283	Was she wrong in her surmise?
mdp.39015013423283	We're taking a note of your replies, re- member, so you are n't forced to answer those you do n't want to. ” “ Why should n't I want to?"
mdp.39015013423283	We've been consommé- ed with the utmost delicacy and completeness, but — what or who is behind the idea of the kidnapping?
mdp.39015013423283	Were you afraid?"
mdp.39015013423283	What about the people at"The Man with a Scythe'? ” “ Only two were in the know — the proprietor, Joe Marks, and one other.
mdp.39015013423283	What are we going to do now? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	What are you implying? ” “ I'm implying nothing, Mr. Foster,"the inspector answered sternly.
mdp.39015013423283	What d'you think?
mdp.39015013423283	What d'you think?
mdp.39015013423283	What did it mean?
mdp.39015013423283	What do you make of that?
mdp.39015013423283	What do you mean to do to him? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015013423283	What do you think it is that impels them to feel what I forbid any contributor to this paper to call'the lure of the footlights'?
mdp.39015013423283	What d’you think of all that?
mdp.39015013423283	What else could you be?
mdp.39015013423283	What exactly is in that damned cocktail you gave me?
mdp.39015013423283	What first takes a girl on to the stage?
mdp.39015013423283	What game has she got on, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	What had she been doing there?
mdp.39015013423283	What have I done to you?
mdp.39015013423283	What have I done wrong?
mdp.39015013423283	What if this extraordinary creature, Brett, had been made the victim of a"frame- up ” without her connivance?
mdp.39015013423283	What note, sir?
mdp.39015013423283	What object had you?
mdp.39015013423283	What on earth are you talking about? ” he queried blankly.
mdp.39015013423283	What on earth has made you suddenly swing over like this?
mdp.39015013423283	What on earth was he playing at?
mdp.39015013423283	What on this earth happened to you?
mdp.39015013423283	What precisely is he?"
mdp.39015013423283	What ques- tions can you ask?
mdp.39015013423283	What tale could he pitch about that, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	What was Laurette doing here at all?
mdp.39015013423283	What was that?
mdp.39015013423283	What will you have, sir? ”"I'll just have a simple whisky and soda, ” said Robin- “ Scotch, please.
mdp.39015013423283	What you gettin'at?
mdp.39015013423283	What you working up to?
mdp.39015013423283	What's brought you'ere? ” he asked in an alarmed whisper.
mdp.39015013423283	What's coming to Robin Foster?
mdp.39015013423283	What's gettin'you?
mdp.39015013423283	What's gone wrong?
mdp.39015013423283	What's happened to make you change your mind? ”"I have n't changed my mind, Barbara.
mdp.39015013423283	What's the best time to get him?"
mdp.39015013423283	What's wrong with having another one- or another dozen if I choose?
mdp.39015013423283	What's'appened?
mdp.39015013423283	When Robin Foster was here last night you showed every intention of coming; now, did n't you? ” “ That's right.
mdp.39015013423283	When was the first?
mdp.39015013423283	Where did you find it? ” “ On the floor inside Mr. Dexter's car.
mdp.39015013423283	Where is he located? ” No one answered immediately.
mdp.39015013423283	Where shall I meet you, then?
mdp.39015013423283	Where's Dexter?
mdp.39015013423283	Where's all your art for art's sake?
mdp.39015013423283	Where's he got to?".
mdp.39015013423283	Where's your head?
mdp.39015013423283	Where?
mdp.39015013423283	Who but Peter Lessing?
mdp.39015013423283	Who could know I would be at the Van Buren's cottage except herself and perhaps her other guests?
mdp.39015013423283	Who else could have done it when we consider all the facts?
mdp.39015013423283	Who followed me and why? ” “ That is my business."
mdp.39015013423283	Who had inspired this murderous attack on him?
mdp.39015013423283	Who is speaking? ” To his astonishment an unknown voice, a man's voice speaking hurriedly, replied: “ Never mind that.
mdp.39015013423283	Who put you up to it?
mdp.39015013423283	Who wants to cut short my bright young life?
mdp.39015013423283	Who was it? ” Robin hesitated, then, shrugging his shoulders in a gesture of indifference, smiled.
mdp.39015013423283	Who's doin'all this?
mdp.39015013423283	Why all this buttinski business, anyway?
mdp.39015013423283	Why all this sudden mystery?
mdp.39015013423283	Why an accident?
mdp.39015013423283	Why d'you ask?
mdp.39015013423283	Why did n't you bring her up?
mdp.39015013423283	Why did n't you tell Miss Rogan?
mdp.39015013423283	Why do n't they go in for doing an honest job o'work instead?
mdp.39015013423283	Why do n't we just out'i m an'be done with it?"
mdp.39015013423283	Why had she not told him last night?
mdp.39015013423283	Why on earth should she maintain secrecy on such a matter?
mdp.39015013423283	Why should he, if he had no real cause?
mdp.39015013423283	Why should he?
mdp.39015013423283	Why should n't I be frank with you, darling?
mdp.39015013423283	Why should she run away?
mdp.39015013423283	Why should you be dragged into this unpleasantness?
mdp.39015013423283	Why this change now?
mdp.39015013423283	Why, then, should he want Dexter's money?"
mdp.39015013423283	Why, why-?"
mdp.39015013423283	Why? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	Will you be my guest?
mdp.39015013423283	Will you come up?"
mdp.39015013423283	Without raising her head she asked, “ Gideon, did n't Hester Rogan say he was still around here?"
mdp.39015013423283	Wo n't you be more frank with me?
mdp.39015013423283	Wo n't you change your mind about going up to town and just stay right here to join my party, Miss Dexter?"
mdp.39015013423283	Wo n't you come across? ” Lessing kissed her again rather patronizingly.
mdp.39015013423283	Wo n't you tell me- have I not said enough? — do you mean to go through with this Foster business?
mdp.39015013423283	Wo n't you tell me- have I not said enough? — do you mean to go through with this Foster business?
mdp.39015013423283	Would you mind coming to the point?
mdp.39015013423283	Yes: since Lessing had learned about him why had he not asked Laurette the reason for her visit to “ The Man with a Scythe ”?
mdp.39015013423283	You and Lessing mean to take Brett with you? ” Dowson, a figure of hopeless despair, nodded feebly.
mdp.39015013423283	You are engaged to him, are you not? ” Barbara's gaze it was that wavered and fell.
mdp.39015013423283	You ca n't tell us, eh? ”"Tell you!
mdp.39015013423283	You could n't have made any mistake in a matter like that, could you?"
mdp.39015013423283	You do n't know what they quarreled about? ”"Some letter, I gather.
mdp.39015013423283	You do n't mean to say you did not speak to your fiancé about Brett as you have been speaking to me?
mdp.39015013423283	You got your passport? ” The other nodded.
mdp.39015013423283	You have forgiven me, have n't you?
mdp.39015013423283	You know where he is now, then?"
mdp.39015013423283	You know, too, do n't you?-that's what we've been talking about. ”"Is it?
mdp.39015013423283	You mean you're going to tell Lessing what you told me?"
mdp.39015013423283	You remember how all along I have been suggesting Brett had been drugged?
mdp.39015013423283	You say she really is a good actress?"
mdp.39015013423283	You will be Mr. Foster?
mdp.39015013423283	You're not going to fall down and swoon, or anything like that? ”"Oh, no, ” Robin replied, again feeling the aching spot on his head.
mdp.39015013423283	You're not trying to tell me that you do n't know what's behind this little week- end party of yours? ” he asked seriously.
mdp.39015013423283	You're sure you never worked with Pinkerton?
mdp.39015013423283	Your luggage will be following, sir? ” continued the man inquiringly.
mdp.39015013423283	Your statement is that you thought it might be useful for finger- prints? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	look what a clever fellow this is'?
mdp.39015013423283	of this room?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ A bit off your usual track, is n't it? ” she added, with a note of challenge in her voice.
mdp.39015013423283	“ And having satisfied yourself as to my safety perhaps you will tell me what you intend to do now. ”"What I intend to do?
mdp.39015013423283	“ And there's no danger that they'll find out about Gideon Trevor?
mdp.39015013423283	“ And why the hell 108 MURDER COULD NOT KILL should n't you?
mdp.39015013423283	“ And you merely decided to shooting Lessing because you discovered he had tried to make you kill your friend?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Are n't you feeling well? ” he asked sympathetically, 50 MURDER COULD NOT KILL “ Oh, I'm all right.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Are you aware, sir, that you have intruded?
mdp.39015013423283	“ But if they should change their minds? ”"It wo n't matter — to me, ” he replied with a careless, arro- gant laugh.
mdp.39015013423283	“ But why should this happen to you?
mdp.39015013423283	“ But, assuming — until we have a report on the caliber of the bullet- this was the weapon used, surely he had time to pick it up again?
mdp.39015013423283	“ But, good God, do you realize? ” He broke off and in agitation began to walk about the room.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Ca n't I still persuade you? ” persisted Barbara.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Ca n't you? ” said Robin with a rather mirthless laugh.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Can we be so sựre that he did? ” His eyes widened in blank amazement.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Certainly: who else?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Dexter?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Did n't that flunkey guy hand it out?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do I require to be reminded? ” he rejoined, smiling gaily.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do n't you accept my explana- tion of why I did follow you? ” “ I suppose I must.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do n't you see? ” Gordon wiped his forehead.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do n't you think he'll be safer indoors?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do n't you think they can keep?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do you guys mean that I? ”"You'd better not say any more,"interrupted the inspector, who had unostentatiously moved between Brett and the door.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do you know a man named Gideon Trevor? ”"Yes; that is, I met him once.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do you know anything about Lessing? ” Robin asked.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Do you think you have got me anyway near fixed? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Drunk?
mdp.39015013423283	“ God! ” he whispered;"who's this? ” A slight, boyish figure in jodhpur riding breeches ap- proached them.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Granted; but all the same, if your maid comes again for more what am I to do?
mdp.39015013423283	“ He had to clamber wholly or partially into the car to get into Mr. Dexter's pocket, had n't he? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	“ He — was merely a chance acquaintance, then?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Here? ”"I did not disclose anything about the poor gentleman, sir,"the well- trained servant said, still addressing his master.
mdp.39015013423283	“ How the devil did you know?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ However did all this come to happen? ”"Do n't worry about that now, ” replied Robin.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Hullo, Denny, everything all right? ” he asked the man inside, the sole occupant of the tiny room, who was busily pulling on an overcoat.
mdp.39015013423283	“ I beg your pardon, sir? ” said Prosser.
mdp.39015013423283	“ I thought you were?
mdp.39015013423283	“ I've had week- end parties before, have n't I?
mdp.39015013423283	“ If you want me to get to the point, here it is — what right have you to have my movements followed?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Is Mr. Less- ing coming down? ”"At once, sir.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Is he not in?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Is he unconscious... or- or drunk?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Jack Sheean?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Look here,"ejaculated Robin, when he saw what the other had done, “ are n't you giving yourself a bit extra going through at the Admiralty?
mdp.39015013423283	“ May I say a word or two, Inspector?
mdp.39015013423283	“ May I suggest you give him a drink, sir? ” the inspector asked Mr. Lessing quietly.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Me? ” exclaimed Robin, laying down the walking- stick; “ calling me?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Me? ” exclaimed Robin, laying down the walking- stick; “ calling me?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Miss Dexter did?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Never saw him before? ”"Never."
mdp.39015013423283	“ No, sir. ” “ Been in your room long? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	“ No?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Now, Mr.? ” “ Foster is my name — Robin Foster."
mdp.39015013423283	“ Of his murderer no trace. ”"What motive, you think?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Oh, it's dawning on you, is it?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Over some letter, you say?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Put him au fait, will you, please?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Quick, move your hand and I'll give him the kosh. ” Where had he heard that voice before?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Recognize it? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Removes the memory of the event, eh?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Since the Yard told you about me what the hell's the sense of all this?
mdp.39015013423283	“ That does n't bring much comfort to me, does it?
mdp.39015013423283	“ The car-- you say you saw nothing of its number, make, or MURDER COULD NOT KILL 17 anything special about it that you would recognize again?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Then is n't it curious they were down here more than a full day beforehand? ” He stared, looked at her frowningly.
mdp.39015013423283	“ This man who you say hit you when you jumped on the running- board of his car — did he wear gloves? ” “ I did n't notice.
mdp.39015013423283	“ To see Peter Lessing? ”.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Trouble?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Want me just now? ” “ No.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Well, what's the program?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Well- why do n't you go ahead?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Well? ” Robin realized it would be foolish to try to hide anything.
mdp.39015013423283	“ What did you intend to do with him, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What do you mean? ” It was in a quick whisper that her friend replied: “ You know that prop automatic I use in the third act?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What do you mean? ” It was in a quick whisper that her friend replied: “ You know that prop automatic I use in the third act?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What do you think I intended to do, then?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ What does all this mean?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What have I let myself in for, then?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What is his name, sir?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ What is it you've got against me?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What is it, Mr. West? ”"Oh, it's you?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What is it, Mr. West? ”"Oh, it's you?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What makes you think that? ”"Think?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What makes you think that? ”"Think?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What other idea could any one have had for murdering'him? ” Robin countered.
mdp.39015013423283	“ What sort of accident?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What was the idea behind all this?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What's best to be done?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What's gone wrong?
mdp.39015013423283	“ What's gone wrong? ” “ Nothing, Maurice; nothing has gone wrong.
mdp.39015013423283	“ What's the trouble, Maurice?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Whatever is wrong? ” Barbara repeated, drawing a chair alongside her friend's.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Where are you heading for? ” he asked anxiously.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Where had you him hidden? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Where is Sherwood Dexter? ” Brett again demanded thickly.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Where was I before that?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Where were you before that? ” Brett blinked.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Where's the safest place?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Who in this world does n't?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Who is it, I ask you?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Who is it?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Who is speaking? ” he at length asked.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why did n't you let me know this at the time?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why did you lie to me, darling? ” The question was asked in a quiet, calm voice.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why strange?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why — why on earth should I have?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why, Mr. Peter Lessing, is it not?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why, though, did you keep his secret?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Why?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ Will you please switch on the light, please, Miss Dexter? ” he asked.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Would n't you call that rather amazing? ” the detective queried calmly.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Would n't you? ” countered Robin, smiling.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Would you care to go in front?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Yes — and who thought o'that if I did n't, eh?
mdp.39015013423283	“ Yes, Simmons, what is it? ” Lessing asked curtly.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Yes? ” she returned.
mdp.39015013423283	“ Yes?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ You actually plugged this hound Gordon, then? ” he ex- claimed in open- eyed admiration.
mdp.39015013423283	“ You did n't know what he meant? ”"Hanged if I did! ” “ So you went off to'The Three Choughs ’? ”"I did."
mdp.39015013423283	“ You did n't know what he meant? ”"Hanged if I did! ” “ So you went off to'The Three Choughs ’? ”"I did."
mdp.39015013423283	“ You did n't throw that cigarette end away?"
mdp.39015013423283	“ You do n't think there's been anything wrong, do you, madam?
mdp.39015013423283	“ You feel all right?
mdp.39015013423283	“ You wo n't worry if I ask you to travel down by train, alone?
mdp.39015013423283	“ You'll help me out, wo n't you? ”"We've got a loose end to tuck in first, ” said Lessing som- berly, as though setting forth a condition.
mdp.39015013423283	“ You'll wait a long time for him. ” “ What do you mean? ” There was no doubt of the intensity of Dowson's alarm.
mdp.39015013423283	“'Cause them's my instructions, see? ” said Gordon savagely.
mdp.39015051113317	About as easy as shelling peas — eh? ” he asked. mdp.39015051113317 And what do you think he's done, Mr. Red- mayne?"
mdp.39015051113317	Are they?
mdp.39015051113317	Then you do think Mr. Albert Redmayne is in danger?
mdp.39015051113317	What did he want to do that for?'' mdp.39015051113317 Why do you need this, Peter?"
mdp.39015051113317	Why?
mdp.39015051113317	'” THE SUDDEN RETURN TO ENGLAND 255 “ How can I forget what I do n't know?
mdp.39015051113317	'”"How is everybody? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	18 THE RED REDMAYNES “ Convict escaped?
mdp.39015051113317	209 of this sort?
mdp.39015051113317	40 THE RED REDMAYNES “ You have n't found the body?".
mdp.39015051113317	A CLUE “ Have you noticed that man?"
mdp.39015051113317	A GHOST 279 yesterday might just as easily have been aimed at you, had you been in my place. ” “ A shot?
mdp.39015051113317	A hideous speech?
mdp.39015051113317	A pretty bobbery to- mor- row. ”"A convict escaped, Will? ” asked the detec- tive, yawning and longing for bed.
mdp.39015051113317	A smuggler perhaps?
mdp.39015051113317	A week ago I was walking out of the post- office, when who should suddenly stop in front of me on a motor bicycle but Uncle Robert?
mdp.39015051113317	AA THE RED REDMAYNES “ Can the men say if anything was done last night- in the way of work on the bungalow? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	Albert wants me. ”"Could you get off in a week? ” “ A week!
mdp.39015051113317	And may I ask what you design to do and if it is in my power to serve you personally in any way?"
mdp.39015051113317	And should you not warn the police about Uncle Robert and give them a de- scription of him?"
mdp.39015051113317	And then what happens?
mdp.39015051113317	And what have you just told me?
mdp.39015051113317	And why?
mdp.39015051113317	And you can ask yourself a still more vital question: Are these two men dead at all?"
mdp.39015051113317	And you have found it out?
mdp.39015051113317	And you — you have nothing, or you would have let me hear it?"
mdp.39015051113317	And, after all, what would success have amounted to?
mdp.39015051113317	Are you never sleepy?"
mdp.39015051113317	Because you know me now and find me a very dull dog?"
mdp.39015051113317	Besides all that, surely none could question the hideous proofs of what happened?
mdp.39015051113317	But I was patient and made him understand that I had not come as an enemy. ” “ Is he sane?"
mdp.39015051113317	But how he lives and what he lives for — who can tell?".
mdp.39015051113317	But suppose the worst happens presently and he's found to be a lunatic, what becomes of his stuff? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	But the blood was proved to be human? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015051113317	But why do you say that you wonder no more?
mdp.39015051113317	By the same token, how much do you love your niece? ” Mr. Redmayne did not answer instantly.
mdp.39015051113317	Can you go? ” “ Yes; I've appealed to my chief and got per- mission to pick this up again.
mdp.39015051113317	Can you tell me anything about the lady to whom your uncle is engaged? ” “ I can give you her name and address.
mdp.39015051113317	Can you tell me from where this letter came?
mdp.39015051113317	Did he seem to know me?
mdp.39015051113317	Did he take the right hand for Dart- meet, or the left for Post Bridge and Moreton?"
mdp.39015051113317	Did n't you forge yourself and leave yourself dead on the ground?
mdp.39015051113317	Did you ever notice any signs that these troubles had left any mark upon him? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	Did you mark if he had a watch to know the hour?"
mdp.39015051113317	Do you imagine it possible that he could be alive?
mdp.39015051113317	Do you reckon that Mr. Red- mayne is in any danger? ”"Do n't you?"
mdp.39015051113317	Do you reckon that Mr. Red- mayne is in any danger? ”"Do n't you?"
mdp.39015051113317	Does Doria know more about him than you or I do?
mdp.39015051113317	Does Giuseppe know that you no longer love him?"
mdp.39015051113317	Does he get off with it and wander over Europe as a free man for a year?
mdp.39015051113317	Does he know Italy? ” she said.
mdp.39015051113317	Doria?"
mdp.39015051113317	Even if he'd remembered meeting you six months before in the dusk at Foggintor, why should he think you were a man who was hunting him?"
mdp.39015051113317	For just a moment he slipped, but how could he help it?
mdp.39015051113317	Have I not suffered enough? ” “ If I am wrong, I'll be the first to own it, ma'am,"he answered.
mdp.39015051113317	Have you a portrait of your husband?".
mdp.39015051113317	Have you any ideas?
mdp.39015051113317	Have you asked yourself why Bendigo Redmayne's diary is missing? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	He was not angry. ” “ Why is he here?
mdp.39015051113317	He will not seek them — nor could he reach them if he did. ” “ Did he ever visit you here in the past?
mdp.39015051113317	How could you assume otherwise?
mdp.39015051113317	How did you know that?"
mdp.39015051113317	How has he come and where from?"
mdp.39015051113317	How would the law stand?
mdp.39015051113317	I am glad that I was in time. ” “ So Robert Redmayne, the murderer of Michael Pendean, has turned up?"
mdp.39015051113317	I never hoped much from it; but to think they have only been married three months! ” “ How does he treat her? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	I shall go, of course. ” “ May I hope that you have friends who are coming forward? ” She shook her head.
mdp.39015051113317	I shall see you some time to- day. ” “ Can you give me any sort of hope?".
mdp.39015051113317	I should say there could n't be a shadow of doubt. ” “ What shall you do next? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	Is he re- garded here as a domestic or an equal? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	Is it not so?
mdp.39015051113317	Is it true that my master and my friend is a dead man — the old sea wolf dead? ” “ Yes,"said Brendon drearily.
mdp.39015051113317	Is not Michael's widow Doria's wife?"
mdp.39015051113317	Is that pos- sible? ” “ To a very powerful man it might be.
mdp.39015051113317	Is the boat fast?"
mdp.39015051113317	Is your husband within 276 A GHOST 277 reach?
mdp.39015051113317	It follows — while we are away- do you not see?
mdp.39015051113317	It looks all right; but suppose, for their own ends, that Jenny Doria and her spouse want to create this impression?
mdp.39015051113317	Let us fly, signora. ” “ Which way did he go? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	May I speak of your niece a moment before I go? ” Bendigo shrugged his round shoulders and pushed his hand through his red hair.
mdp.39015051113317	Meanwhile what of to- night and to- morrow night?"
mdp.39015051113317	My fault has been to assume his return to sanity. ” “ What more natural?
mdp.39015051113317	No ill news of Giuseppe? ” “ Come home quickly,"she answered,"and I will explain.
mdp.39015051113317	Not the red man?
mdp.39015051113317	Now what has happened since you wrote, Mrs. Doria? ” “ Tell them, Giuseppe,"directed Mr. Red- mayne.
mdp.39015051113317	PETER TAKES THE HELM 217 Brendon read: G G 0 Omega Alph 0 D?
mdp.39015051113317	Pendean?"
mdp.39015051113317	Perhaps he and not Robert Redmayne, or any other, cut Michael Pendean's throat?"
mdp.39015051113317	Pretty steep- eh?
mdp.39015051113317	Redmayne rules; but what is the good of a home to a man if he does not rule?
mdp.39015051113317	Redmayne?"
mdp.39015051113317	Redmayne?"
mdp.39015051113317	She is as deep as hell. ” “ You mean that she understands what is hap- pening and will not tell her uncle or you?"
mdp.39015051113317	Suppose that their object is to lead you and me to imagine that they are not friends?"
mdp.39015051113317	Suppose you catch him presently?
mdp.39015051113317	Supposing Jenny begged him to hold his hand and spare Robert Redmayne, would he then be justified in keeping his discovery to himself?
mdp.39015051113317	Surely God is all powerful and would not suffer my interesting and harmless life to be snatched away from me by poison?
mdp.39015051113317	Surely you have no bias against other nationalities — a man with a cosmopolitan record like yours?".
mdp.39015051113317	THE COMPACT 141 “ Who could but be patient with the poor wretch?'
mdp.39015051113317	Tell me a little about your- self, if I may venture to ask? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	The elder laughed., “ What does Goethe say somewhere? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	The very writing shows a lack of restraint and self- control. ”"The writing was really his?"
mdp.39015051113317	Then, ” “ But who was to know he meant mischief?
mdp.39015051113317	This is n't going to spoil your holi- day, after all. ” “ What is it going to do, I wonder? ” thought Brendon.
mdp.39015051113317	This should be the great and primal concern of religion; for what, after all, is the basis of all morality?
mdp.39015051113317	Till I have escaped from him, he must not dream that I have changed. ” “ That's your feeling?
mdp.39015051113317	To whom would she look?
mdp.39015051113317	Was I the man to make carrion of myself in national quarrels?
mdp.39015051113317	We are not going to catch Robert Redmayne. ” “ You throw up the sponge, signor? ” asked Giuseppe in astonishment.
mdp.39015051113317	What are castles and titles- pomp and glory- when weighed against her?
mdp.39015051113317	What can offer an experience so tremendous as murder?
mdp.39015051113317	What did Robert say?"
mdp.39015051113317	What did you make of my brother?"
mdp.39015051113317	What follows?
mdp.39015051113317	What has science, philosophy, religion to give us comparable with the mysteries, dangers and triumphs of great crime?
mdp.39015051113317	What is in his mind this morning?
mdp.39015051113317	What is that question, Signor Doria? ” “ It is one I have already asked myself, ” re- plied Giuseppe.
mdp.39015051113317	What is there anti.. pathetic in his nature to you, and in yours to him?
mdp.39015051113317	What name, sir?"
mdp.39015051113317	What was his love worth if it could not triumph over the handicaps of Chance?
mdp.39015051113317	What would you make of her? ” “ It is n't what I'd make of her.
mdp.39015051113317	What's the weather like? ” 66'Tis foggy and soft; and Mr. Pendean- poor dear soul"“ Go away, Milly.
mdp.39015051113317	Where was he now and why had he come hither?
mdp.39015051113317	Whither would she go?
mdp.39015051113317	Who can tell what meas- ures he took to win her?
mdp.39015051113317	Who could have felt any interest in poor Uncle Bendigo's diary but ourselves? ” Mr. Ganns considered.
mdp.39015051113317	Who else could have warned him- except Bendigo Red- mayne himself?"
mdp.39015051113317	Who is Peter Ganns?
mdp.39015051113317	Who is it?"
mdp.39015051113317	Who sent it?
mdp.39015051113317	Who should be his enemy- he who is the friend of every man?
mdp.39015051113317	Who was to know that he came here to kill his brother?"
mdp.39015051113317	Who would come to the rescue now?
mdp.39015051113317	Why d'you call me slenth'? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	Why did not somebody hint to me that I was doing wrong to we d?".
mdp.39015051113317	Why do n't you fish?"
mdp.39015051113317	Why do you say he only came into it at ‘ Crow's Nest'?
mdp.39015051113317	Why jump to any con- clusion?
mdp.39015051113317	Why not?
mdp.39015051113317	Why should you?
mdp.39015051113317	Why, Mr. Brendon — what have you to envy him?"
mdp.39015051113317	Why?"
mdp.39015051113317	Will you, I wonder?
mdp.39015051113317	Would Mr. Ganns like you to tell Doria anything?"
mdp.39015051113317	Would you care to see a medical man? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	Would you not have judged that close acquaint- ance with one so amiable and large- hearted must have wakened a spark of compassion in their souls?
mdp.39015051113317	Yet how am I going to beat it and leave my old friend at the mercy of this threat?
mdp.39015051113317	Yet what are the respective achievements of the police?
mdp.39015051113317	Yet who shall presume to dogmatize?
mdp.39015051113317	Yet, when the time came, what was there that he could say to her?
mdp.39015051113317	You are going to stop for dinner?
mdp.39015051113317	You ca n't call Mrs. Pendean's evidence impartial. ” “ Why not?
mdp.39015051113317	You can assure me of that?"
mdp.39015051113317	You feel it. ” “ He interests you? ” “ He does, ” she confessed frankly.
mdp.39015051113317	You have heard of the Doria?"
mdp.39015051113317	You never thought of Robert's dead brother, Henry, PETER TAKES THE HELM 219 did you?
mdp.39015051113317	You take me? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	You wo n't mind? ”"The last of the Doria!
mdp.39015051113317	You would not like me to lie in readiness to come for- ward if you want me?"
mdp.39015051113317	You'd never think now, would you, that she was a red Redmayne — one of us — short of temper, peppery, fiery?
mdp.39015051113317	You've found'em, then? ” “ Found what? ” asked the detective.
mdp.39015051113317	You've found'em, then? ” “ Found what? ” asked the detective.
mdp.39015051113317	“ A good master- eh?
mdp.39015051113317	“ A spirit?
mdp.39015051113317	“ And presently what will happen if he is not caught and hanged?
mdp.39015051113317	“ And still you say he behaved like a sane man, Mrs. Pendean? ” asked Brendon.
mdp.39015051113317	“ And that is all you know? ” asked Brendon.
mdp.39015051113317	“ And what about her, Giuseppe?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ And what about me?".
mdp.39015051113317	“ And what of your meeting with him?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ And who is Mr. Pendean? ” “ The gentleman what's building the bungalow down to Foggintor."
mdp.39015051113317	“ And yet he behaves to you as though he were a devil?
mdp.39015051113317	“ And yet you're a detective ‘ first and last and always'-eh?
mdp.39015051113317	“ And you think she will accept him, Mr. Red- mayne?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Another thing: Doria was the servant of Bendigo Redmayne at the time. ” “ And how do you know even so much? ” Brendon showed impatience.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Are you sure that you are wise?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Be quick; what the devil's the matter?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Before you mentioned it?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ But if the danger lies with Doria, as you seem to hint, how can you, or anybody else, save Mr. Redmayne from it?
mdp.39015051113317	“ But this one- d'you see it?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ But what is the question?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Ca n't you believe me?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Can it be that you think him not a man at all but a ghost, Mr. Ganns? ” asked Jenny, round- eyed.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Can the launch go to sea? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Could anybody but an old sailor have created this place?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ D'you remember the night you left ‘ Crow's 220 THE RED REDMAYNES Nest'after your first visit?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did Ringrose also report the sack behind the motor bicycle?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did Robert Redmayne kill Michael Pen- dean?'
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did anybody have a chance?".
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did he mention Mr. and Mrs. Pendean? ” “ Not a word.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did he quarrel often?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did he recognize me, Assunta?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Did he talk like a sane man? ” asked Brendon.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Do you begin to see any light? ” “ Not much upon the main problem.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Do you believe all Doria tells you?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Had your husband seen her?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Have I not seen Mrs. Doria under affliction and in situations unspeakably difficult?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Have the workmen been in here this morn- ing?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Have you another communication something from the past I can compare with this? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Have you ever met with any such thing be- fore?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ He is now the last of'the red Redmaynes,'as our family was called in Australia. ” “ Why the adjective? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	“ He may correspond with Miss Reed if he gets to France?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ How can you tell that he is near, if he has not yet been to his brother?".
mdp.39015051113317	“ How comes it you are not back in your own country, now the war is over? ” he asked Doria.
mdp.39015051113317	“ How old was he?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ How was he dressed?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ How?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ If this is a ghost, that's a way out, of course; but in that case why are you frightened for Albert Redmayne's life?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Is he sure that it really does come from his brother? ” “ Yes; there is no doubt about that.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Is she ready to see me?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Is that like him?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Is that so?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Is there danger to the signor from his brother?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ May I?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Might my husband be alive?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Next week in all probability, unless something unexpected happens to prevent it, I go back to England. ” “ Ca n't I go?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ No news?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Not a spook?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Not likely to break out again and cut another throat?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Plenty of smugglers in the mountains I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Shall I go out to the man, or has he gone? ” “ And as for me; do n't think twice about it,"added Brendon.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Surely you have caught everybody you ever tried to catch, Peter?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ That's about the only fun you get up here, is n't it?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ That's why you wanted Bendigo Redmayne's log then? ” “ One of the reasons certainly.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Was he all right then? ” Bendigo considered and scratched in his red beard.
mdp.39015051113317	“ What about you?
mdp.39015051113317	“ What d'you make of it?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ What do you think of Mrs. Pendean, inspec- tor?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ What do you think of this business? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	“ What is it about Dart- moor?
mdp.39015051113317	“ What is the question Giuseppe puts to himself and, you put to yourself, Peter?
mdp.39015051113317	“ What of it?
mdp.39015051113317	“ What shall you do and where may I count upon finding you if I want you, Mrs. Pendean? ” he asked presently.
mdp.39015051113317	“ What sort of a man was he? ” “ A friendly fashion of chap — Cornish — a paci- fist at heart I reckon; but we never talked war politics."
mdp.39015051113317	“ What was his age? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	“ What's that shindy? ”, he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	“ What, then?
mdp.39015051113317	“ When you say that her husband altered his wife's character, in what way did he do so? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Where does this place lead?".
mdp.39015051113317	“ Where is Uncle Albert?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Where is she, and where is Doria???
mdp.39015051113317	“ Where is she, and where is Doria???
mdp.39015051113317	“ Where is she, and where is Doria???
mdp.39015051113317	“ Where's the body?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Which way did he go after he had passed, Mr. French? ” asked Brendon, who knew the Dartmoor country well.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Who makes acrostios like that? ” “ Nobody.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Who shall say?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Why do you speak of secrets? ” “ Because you did.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Why not?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Why should he hurt me?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Why should you have doubted what you heard?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Why, what is wrong?
mdp.39015051113317	“ Will you let me know if you leave here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	“ Will you lunch with me here in the grillroom at two o'clock?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Would you like to leave the rest?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ Would you not have thought some ray of human truth might have touched their hearts in the company of that childlike and kindly spirit?
mdp.39015051113317	“ You are contented, then? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You are positive? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You ca n't trust him with me, then? ” “ It's not you.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You can go, Mr. Ganns? ”.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You cared much for him?
mdp.39015051113317	“ You do n't deceive yourself? ” “ No I know what I have to market.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You do not fear on account of Mr. Red- mayne? ” “ I much fear on account of him,"answered Doria.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You feel quite steady in your nerves?
mdp.39015051113317	“ You have neither seen nor heard of the cap- tain since?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ You have no reason to think her as an un- happy bride?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ You hold that I go in some peril from this unhappy man? ” “ I do think so, Albert.
mdp.39015051113317	“ You think, then, that Doria and Robert Red- mayne may be running in double harness?
mdp.39015051113317	“ You want to get there before we're ex- pected?"
mdp.39015051113317	“ You'd say trail Jenny? ” “ That is what I would say.
mdp.39015030727971	All the time? ” “ No, she came in just before I left. ” “ I see.
mdp.39015030727971	And do you[ 8] THE BUTLER SERVES know what I shall call it?
mdp.39015030727971	And how did they know there was a dimner party here tonight, and a lot of rich people, and one woman with a fortune in jewelry on her?
mdp.39015030727971	And how is Mrs. Tilden bearing up under the shock of her be- reavement? ” “ As well as can be expected.
mdp.39015030727971	And was he crazy about me?

mdp.39015030727971	And why should the question as to who was guilty be driving Merritt Shaw mad?
mdp.39015030727971	Are those your everyday clothes? ” “ I ’ve been in a cell all night, ” Stein replied.
mdp.39015030727971	Are you looking for clues?"
mdp.39015030727971	Are you sure? ” “ Yes, ma'am. ” “ Then, thank God, there is some justice in the world, ” exclaimed Linda fervently.
mdp.39015030727971	But the thing that is driving me mad is — who is guilty? ” Shaw gazed out over the garden, his features twitch- ing and working.
mdp.39015030727971	But this morning it turned up, and where in the world do you think I found it? ” “ I do n't know, ” Shaw muttered.
mdp.39015030727971	But we took that rug to the laboratory, and what do you think they were? ” “ What? ” “ Blood.
mdp.39015030727971	But we took that rug to the laboratory, and what do you think they were? ” “ What? ” “ Blood.
mdp.39015030727971	But what then; is he guilty of murder?
mdp.39015030727971	But who held that glass?
mdp.39015030727971	But why should they try to murder our host? ” “ And it might have been a double murder at that, ” Linda continued.
mdp.39015030727971	But your bed was empty; the moonlight showed me that. ” “ And you suspected me? ” “ I did not suspect you, ” declared Miss Townsend stoutly.
mdp.39015030727971	But, I am sorry to confess, things like this do occur now and then. ” “ Really?
mdp.39015030727971	But, Miss Townsend wondered with half- closed eyes, was life as smooth and easy and secure for these people as it seemed to be?
mdp.39015030727971	But, Miss Townsend wondered with half- closed eyes, was life as smooth and easy and secure for these people as it seemed to be?
mdp.39015030727971	But, how in time did those blood spots get on the rug?
mdp.39015030727971	But, if somebody did slip in and hide at some time during the day; or one of the crooks sneaked back into the bedrooms, where is he now?
mdp.39015030727971	But, ” Durkin insisted, “ he did come through that hall, did n't he? ” “ Well, yes, ” Biddle admitted.
mdp.39015030727971	Could this be[ 94] THE SHADOW IN THE DARK Laura Tilden, the pale, quiet, self- contained, re- served woman, whom she had compared to a white orchid?
mdp.39015030727971	Did Mrs. Tilden touch that glass?
mdp.39015030727971	Did he go by the window?
mdp.39015030727971	Did n't Merritt go into the library to telephone the police after the hold- up?"
mdp.39015030727971	Did you ever, ” she asked cautiously, “ hear of anything queer in his fam- ily?"
mdp.39015030727971	Did you happen to notice where she came from? ” “ Why, yes.
mdp.39015030727971	Did you notice me? ” “ I have a way of noticing things, ” replied Miss Townsend drily.
mdp.39015030727971	Did you touch him? ” “ Oh, no, no, no, ” the butler protested.
mdp.39015030727971	Did you try to help him?
mdp.39015030727971	Do you deny it? ” “ I did n't say that, ” the butler protested, with a back- to- the- wall air.
mdp.39015030727971	Do you know anybody who wanted to kill Mr. Tilden? ” The other shook his head.
mdp.39015030727971	Do you see that ledge at the foot of it?
mdp.39015030727971	Do you see that the same ledge runs back sheer across the side of the penthouse?
mdp.39015030727971	Do you think I was wrong? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030727971	Does it mean that Tilden was killed in his room, and the body dragged into the bathroom?
mdp.39015030727971	Does n't that woman ever do anything abruptly, or[ 6] THE BUTLER SERVES spontaneously, or get excited, or passionate, or show emotion in any way?
mdp.39015030727971	Drank too much, I suppose. ” “ Were you there long? ” “ Quite a while, I think.
mdp.39015030727971	Durkin, ” Miss Townsend protested, “ do you want to keep me here all night?
mdp.39015030727971	Ed, Mr. Tilden, asked me to come to his room for a few minutes. ” “ Why did he do that? ” “ We were old friends.

mdp.39015030727971	Exactly what has happened? ” “ Murder, ” he replied grimly.

mdp.39015030727971	Good God, why did n't you say so before?

mdp.39015030727971	He tried to hit me — at least I think he tried to hit me — and then — ” “ And then? ” said Miss Townsend breathlessly.
mdp.39015030727971	He was through with me. ” “ How do you know that? ” asked Miss Townsend.
mdp.39015030727971	Hey, Nick, is that the guy?"
mdp.39015030727971	How about that glum- faced butler?
mdp.39015030727971	How could you help hearing them? ” “ I told you last night, and I tell you again, the door into the next room was closed. ” “ Closed was it?
mdp.39015030727971	How could you help hearing them? ” “ I told you last night, and I tell you again, the door into the next room was closed. ” “ Closed was it?
mdp.39015030727971	How did they know that?
mdp.39015030727971	I am very fond of Mrs. Tilden. ” “ But not her husband?
mdp.39015030727971	I can prove it. ” “ How can you prove it? ” asked Sophie in a sharp tone.
mdp.39015030727971	I felt him, too, for he brushed against me. ” “ Who was it? ” Durkin asked again.
mdp.39015030727971	I've had him three years, and a friend of mine had him for five. ” “ Ever see anything funny about him? ” “ No- o, ” said Tilden slowly.
mdp.39015030727971	If the murderer was some- one whom we have n't seen and ca n't account for, how in the world did he get away?
mdp.39015030727971	Is n't our ad- venture tonight unique? ” “ I wish I could say so, ” Miss Townsend replied, “ for the reputation of my native city.
mdp.39015030727971	Is n't that a darling thought? ” Her neighbor on the left attracted Miss Townsend's attention.
mdp.39015030727971	Is she forever pale, and calm, and reserved?
mdp.39015030727971	Is that cor- rect? ”- “ Quite correct, ” Richards replied.
mdp.39015030727971	Is that right? ” “ Quite so, sir. ” “ Could you see into the bathroom, or the closet, or both? ” “ I did n't look.

mdp.39015030727971	Istand here and ask myself:—‘Am I the one that killed him?"
mdp.39015030727971	It was all arranged between him and that other woman. ” “ What other woman? ”[ 95] TWENTY MINUTES TO KILL “ The Baker woman, Sophie Baker.
mdp.39015030727971	It was earlier. ” “ Good God! ” cried Durkin in exasperation, “ why do n't you carry an alarm clock around with you?
mdp.39015030727971	It was she who got up in the dead of night and buried the stiletto in the bed of tulips. ” “ You knew that, did you? ” Durkin ejaculated.
mdp.39015030727971	It'll be better for you in the end. ” “ What do you think of him? ” Durkin asked as the door closed behind the butler.
mdp.39015030727971	May I see them? ”- “ They're not here.

mdp.39015030727971	Most heels wear down on the outside. ” “ Would a person who is knock- kneed wear down the heels on the inside? ” Miss Townsend demanded.
mdp.39015030727971	No answer. ” “ Well? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030727971	Now what's the matter? ” “ The maids have disappeared, ” his mother an- swered.
mdp.39015030727971	Now, Merritt, did your step- father lock the door after your mother left? ” Shaw paused and frowned.
mdp.39015030727971	Now, Miss Townsend, honest, did you ever hear of Merritt having fits? ” Miss Townsend hesitated.
mdp.39015030727971	Now, how about the servants? ” “ Well, ” Tilden replied, “ they've all been with us two years, or more.
mdp.39015030727971	Now, if he were really drunk would he have reacted more quickly than the other people, who were sober? ” “ I guess not, ” said Durkin.
mdp.39015030727971	Now, who, Miss Townsend, of the people here this evening has dyed hair? ” “ That's a question you can answer as well as I, ” she replied.
mdp.39015030727971	Or was it something else — loyalty to an old friend which made her set her teeth in the determination not to see what she did not want to see?

mdp.39015030727971	Shaw, ” cried Durkin suddenly, “ can you throw any light on this thing?
mdp.39015030727971	Shaw, ” he said, “ have you any middle ini- tial? ” “ No. ” “ Just ‘ M.S.
mdp.39015030727971	So, Stein is my first bet. ” “ Did this “ tough Tommy'person explain why he tried to kill Mr. Tilden? ” “ Not a word out of him about that.
mdp.39015030727971	Such a fright they gave us. ” “ How on earth did they get in? ” asked Mrs. Biddle.
mdp.39015030727971	Take that dag- ger, or stiletto, did that help?
mdp.39015030727971	That will be something[ 181) TWENTY MINUTES TO KILL to talk about for the rest of your life, wo n't it, Pack? ” “ Yes, ma'am.
mdp.39015030727971	That's logical, is n't it, the butler being the one to give them the tip- off?
mdp.39015030727971	That's the sort of place you might get to talking to some smooth- looking bird, and he'd say:—What sort of a place have you got?'
mdp.39015030727971	The servants — well, I know of nothing that would make me suspect any one of them. ” “ Anything more to tell me? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030727971	Then, the window opened and it disappeared outside. ” “ And what did you do? ” asked Durkin.
mdp.39015030727971	There, Miss Townsend, is that about the picture? ” “ As a picture my criticism is that it is too vague and impressionistic, ” she replied.
mdp.39015030727971	WHAT Is A CRIME?
mdp.39015030727971	Was it a heart attack? ” “ No, ” Flynn replied shortly, “ it was n't.
mdp.39015030727971	Was it a trick of the imagination, or did that door move slowly, ever so slowly?
mdp.39015030727971	Was it fear that made Miss Townsend shut her eyes as tightly as they could be shut, and be as still as if she were devoid of consciousness?
mdp.39015030727971	We did, however, turn up one pistol. ” “ Where? ” “ In a drawer of Tilden's desk in the library.

mdp.39015030727971	What do you propose? ” “ I have some news for you and the other people here, ” Durkin answered.
mdp.39015030727971	What sort of man was he?"
mdp.39015030727971	What was Mrs. Baker's true opinion of Bobby, who seemed devoted to the task of drinking himself into a dipsomaniac's grave?

mdp.39015030727971	Where did you see it last? ” he asked Prudence sharply.
mdp.39015030727971	Where's the nearest one? ”[ 35] TWENTY MINUTES TO KILL The butler motioned toward the adjoining library.
mdp.39015030727971	Which one is at the bottom of this business? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Shaw might have done it. ” “ He might.
mdp.39015030727971	Who'd have a hundred- foot rope along when he killed Tilden, and where's the rope?
mdp.39015030727971	Why is that? ” “ Partly because I'm not, like you, convinced that Merritt Shaw is the criminal, ” she replied calmly.
mdp.39015030727971	Why should she? ” Durkin seemed to find it difficult to explain why she should.
mdp.39015030727971	Why would n't a mar- riage with him be on the up and up?'
mdp.39015030727971	Why? ” Miss Townsend asked herself.

mdp.39015030727971	Without the flicker of a change of expression she re- plied calmly: “ Yes, I was there. ” “ This was after dinner? ” “ Oh, yes.

mdp.39015030727971	You admit that you said that, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” the butler replied with some hesitation.
mdp.39015030727971	You did n't stop him? ” “ I had no orders to stop him. ” “ Yes, you did.

mdp.39015030727971	“ These people, the Tildens, friends of yours? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030727971	“ They're gone! ” “ Who's gone? ” someone exclaimed.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Think of anything else? ” Pack shook her head and at a nod from Durkin left the room.
mdp.39015030727971	“ To go back to the champagne, ” Durkin said cas- ually, “ did you break the glass, after you drank from it? ” “ No, ” she replied.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Two, or twenty? ” “ I ’m not sure, maybe five. ” “ Five minutes, you say.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Unusual? ” echoed Willett, with a humorous ex- pression.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Well, Pack, what have you got in your hand? ” Pack faced him with her impassive look, and those strange eyes with the semi- circles of white.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Well, what of it? ” Durkin asked briskly.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Well, what's a few minutes?"
mdp.39015030727971	“ Well, who's next? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Well? ” she said, in a low and rather husky voice, as Durkin was silent.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What do we know about his intentions?
mdp.39015030727971	“ What do you mean? ” asked Laura, in a very weak voice.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What do you mean? ” he said.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What do you mean? ” “ I knocked on his door several times, but he did not answer. ” “ Did you try the door? ” “ Yes, madam.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What do you mean? ” “ I knocked on his door several times, but he did not answer. ” “ Did you try the door? ” “ Yes, madam.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What do you want? ” growled Durkin.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What does he amount to?
mdp.39015030727971	“ What has hap- pened? ” “ I ca n't speak, ” the other woman whispered.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What have you got to prove it? ” Durkin barked.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What of it?"
mdp.39015030727971	“ What time did you go back to the living room? ” Shaw took time to consider.
mdp.39015030727971	“ What was the weapon that — that was used? ” asked Richards.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Where did you see your son? ” Durkin asked sud- denly.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Where did you see your son? ” Durkin repeated steadily.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Where is Mr. Shaw? ” asked Durkin suddenly.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Where were you? ” “ In the room across the hall. ” “ The Bakers'room? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Where were you? ” “ In the room across the hall. ” “ The Bakers'room? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Who is it? ” “ I wo n't tell you.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Who is the insider? ” “ Well, that's a mystery for the present.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Who was in the room? ” “ I do n't know, sir.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Who was it? ” he snapped.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Who's making who screech? ” asked Miss Town- send ungrammatically.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Why should I?"
mdp.39015030727971	“ Will you tell me where you were between, say, 9:45 and lo:45?"
mdp.39015030727971	“ Yes, Lieutenant. ” “ And you let him go by?
mdp.39015030727971	“ Yes, all alone. ” “ Why did n't you wake your husband? ” “ He was sound asleep and snoring heavily, ” she answered.
mdp.39015030727971	“ You saw her? ” “ Yes, ” said Miss Townsend again.
mdp.39015030727971	“ You say he went out half an hour ago? ” Durkin roared.
mdp.39015030727971	“ You sent for me? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030727971	“ You thought, awhile ago, that I'd run away, did n't you? ” “ So did everybody else. ” “ Everybody else was wrong, ” he replied angrily.
mdp.39015030727971	“ You ’re staying here tonight? ” The other man nodded.
mdp.39015030727971	“ You're her son, are n't you? ” he asked, with a look toward the woman the young man was supporting.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Your name, ” said Durkin briskly, “ is Prudence Pack? ” “ Yes, sir, ” she replied in a colorless voice.
mdp.39015030727971	“ Y”know, ” she exclaimed, “ I do n't know just what to think. ” “ Think about what? ” “ About Merritt.
mdp.39015030727971	“ ’ Aven't I a right to aid the police? ” “ You can overdo it, ” said Miss Townsend coldly.
mdp.39015022379567	All right, but what do you hope to find out?
mdp.39015022379567	And did you get the samples?
mdp.39015022379567	And finally?
mdp.39015022379567	And how did that knife of Stilwell's get out of the house?
mdp.39015022379567	And nothing in the room has been disturbed?
mdp.39015022379567	And show your hand to everybody?
mdp.39015022379567	And the servants?
mdp.39015022379567	And then?
mdp.39015022379567	And who are you?
mdp.39015022379567	And you still refuse to tell us what that business was?
mdp.39015022379567	Anything new?
mdp.39015022379567	Anything unusual happen during the dinner?
mdp.39015022379567	Are you a beneficiary under his will?
mdp.39015022379567	Are you alone? ” asked Thorne as they reached the living room. mdp.39015022379567 Are you letting him go?"
mdp.39015022379567	Assuming that for some reason unknown to us, Hayward did murder the judge, who were these four men who put him away? mdp.39015022379567 But how about our friend Hayward?"
mdp.39015022379567	But why did n't you arrest Quint, then?
mdp.39015022379567	But why did n't you take me into your confidence?
mdp.39015022379567	But, Probus, when did you learn that David Quint was Harkley?
mdp.39015022379567	By the way,he said at last in the most casual manner,"have you checked up the junk in old Morley's back rooms?"
mdp.39015022379567	Ca n't say that it does especially, why?
mdp.39015022379567	Ca n't you give him some kind of a stimulant, Doc- tor? ” urged Thorne,it's terribly important that we hear what he has to say."
mdp.39015022379567	Can you come, Doctor, at once?
mdp.39015022379567	Confessed? mdp.39015022379567 Damn,"Thorne announced to the universe a minute 48 WHY MURDER THE JUDGE?
mdp.39015022379567	Did Harkley mention my untimely demise?
mdp.39015022379567	Did anyone,asked Probus Thorne,"among those present, have the opportunity to poison the judge's liquor?"
mdp.39015022379567	Did he telephone any of these graphologists?
mdp.39015022379567	Did you call Mr. Johnson? ” he asked. mdp.39015022379567 Do I git de reward?"
mdp.39015022379567	Do n't you ever read the papers?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you happen to know anything of the business that brings Hayward here?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you happen to know where we can reach any of Mr. Hayward's near relatives?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you have any idea who did it or what's back of it?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know any reason why the judge should contemplate suicide?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know of anyone who had reason to wish him out of the way?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know what that is?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know when he will be back?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know when he will return?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know where he has gone?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know where you could reach him?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you know why?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you realize that you can be made to talk?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you really think it was suicide?
mdp.39015022379567	Do you think it may have been suicide?
mdp.39015022379567	Does he usually call you if he is detained on a case?
mdp.39015022379567	Does he?
mdp.39015022379567	Does that kind of poison always kill so quick?
mdp.39015022379567	Does the man who found the keys know that you are calling me?
mdp.39015022379567	Does the worthy Commissioner know that I was n't really killed, Mac?
mdp.39015022379567	Easy there, my dear MacKean, no need to run over 41 42 WHY MURDER THE JUDGE? mdp.39015022379567 Everything is in readiness. ”"Let's see: sure you have everything- masks, tools, and all that sort of thing?"
mdp.39015022379567	Feel like talking?
mdp.39015022379567	Find anything?
mdp.39015022379567	Francois said that you wish to see me?
mdp.39015022379567	Has he talked?
mdp.39015022379567	Have a smoke?
mdp.39015022379567	Have the Styles been here much since the wed- ding?
mdp.39015022379567	Have you any of her writing?
mdp.39015022379567	Have you formulated any theory?
mdp.39015022379567	Have you found it?
mdp.39015022379567	Have you got him?
mdp.39015022379567	Have you questioned Morley and Wattles?
mdp.39015022379567	Have you read the will?
mdp.39015022379567	Hayward? mdp.39015022379567 He remained unconscious to the end?"
mdp.39015022379567	He sure did, Mr. Thorne, but how did you know about it?
mdp.39015022379567	He what? mdp.39015022379567 Hello; Probus Thorne?
mdp.39015022379567	How about having Brother Harkley help us out? mdp.39015022379567 How did you know I was here?"
mdp.39015022379567	How do the measurements tally, boys?
mdp.39015022379567	How do you feel this morning?
mdp.39015022379567	How is Probus Thorne, Doctor?
mdp.39015022379567	How long have the keys been lost, Mrs. Bard- well?
mdp.39015022379567	How long have you known the Haywards?
mdp.39015022379567	How long were you all busy with the book?
mdp.39015022379567	How so?
mdp.39015022379567	How soon may I see Inspector MacKean?
mdp.39015022379567	How?
mdp.39015022379567	I thought Nikko was a butler?
mdp.39015022379567	I took him to call on a friend an hour ago and he told me not to wait. ”Where did you take him?"
mdp.39015022379567	I understand that there were only two other servants in the house; where were they when the tragedy occurred?
mdp.39015022379567	Is he dead? ”No, but near it, ” the physician replied.
mdp.39015022379567	Is there any certainty that the poison was meant for the judge?
mdp.39015022379567	Is there anyone,he asked,"who knows Mr. Van Dorn's address in Europe?"
mdp.39015022379567	Is this Peter Van Dorn's residence?
mdp.39015022379567	It was his, but who is getting it? mdp.39015022379567 It's Probus Thorne, Mr. Morley, will you come down a minute?"
mdp.39015022379567	Just how did he show his displeasure?
mdp.39015022379567	Just who are in the parlor?
mdp.39015022379567	Know what I think, Inspector?
mdp.39015022379567	May I ask,interposed Thorne,"if you and the judge had occasion to talk business at any time during the evening?"
mdp.39015022379567	Me? mdp.39015022379567 Mean to say a man has to be a certain age to commit suicide?"
mdp.39015022379567	Meaning just what?
mdp.39015022379567	Mr. Harkley,began the inspector,"I understand 22 WHY MURDER THE JUDGE?
mdp.39015022379567	Nikko, are we going out?'' mdp.39015022379567 Now last night after the drinks had been served in this room, just what happened?"
mdp.39015022379567	Now what the hell do you think of that, Probus? mdp.39015022379567 Now where could that damn book have gone to?"
mdp.39015022379567	Now, Floyd,said MacKean, as they and Thorne were left alone,"you've kept everybody here, I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015022379567	Oh, about Morley, you mean?
mdp.39015022379567	Oh, so you are awake?
mdp.39015022379567	Only the motive?
mdp.39015022379567	Pardon me, Miss Harkley,interposed Thorne,"but were you going away?"
mdp.39015022379567	Probus Thorne? mdp.39015022379567 Say, Mr. Thorne, ” expostulated Floyd,"what does that heathen know about writing?
mdp.39015022379567	Say, Probus, ” said MacKean, digressing from the case, “ that François Valois, Harkley's clerk, would in- terest you. ” “ How so?
mdp.39015022379567	Shall I call him?
mdp.39015022379567	Sleep? mdp.39015022379567 So they all got away?"
mdp.39015022379567	So we're all ready, Probus; what next?
mdp.39015022379567	So you do n't think much of the New York police?
mdp.39015022379567	So you think Mrs. Stilwell killed her husband? ”. mdp.39015022379567 So you're a wise guy, are you?"
mdp.39015022379567	So, then, he knows where I am?
mdp.39015022379567	Suicide? mdp.39015022379567 Suppose I do n't care to answer?"
mdp.39015022379567	Then perhaps you will be good enough to explain this?
mdp.39015022379567	Then they could have had no part in the matter?
mdp.39015022379567	Then what made you suspect it, Probus?
mdp.39015022379567	Then you think that Valois was not this'Louis the Poisoner'at all?
mdp.39015022379567	Then you think there is no cause for her anxiety?
mdp.39015022379567	Then,interrupted the inspector somewhat de- jectedly,"you did n't find out anything at all?"
mdp.39015022379567	Theory? mdp.39015022379567 This Probus Thorne?"
mdp.39015022379567	Those fellows do play rather roughly, now do n't they?
mdp.39015022379567	Trouble, sir? mdp.39015022379567 Was n't there a chance that someone else might have gotten it?"
mdp.39015022379567	Wat's de idee of de pinch?
mdp.39015022379567	Well, Inspector,he said, pausing before MacKean,"the routine stunt is to get a statement of some kind from each of these folks, what?"
mdp.39015022379567	Well, Tasker, what's the trouble?
mdp.39015022379567	Well, damn it, why do n't you tell me? mdp.39015022379567 Well, how would you go about it?
mdp.39015022379567	Well, well, how's the invalid?
mdp.39015022379567	Well, what can we do?
mdp.39015022379567	Well, you see, this guy thought that if we found 156 WHY MURDER THE JUDGE? mdp.39015022379567 Well, you'll be in plenty danger in a minute, see?"
mdp.39015022379567	Well,said Thorne, lighting a cigarette,"I sup- pose you have a lot of interesting things to report?"
mdp.39015022379567	Well? ” queried Thorne. mdp.39015022379567 Well?"
mdp.39015022379567	Well?
mdp.39015022379567	What are you going to do about it, Mac?
mdp.39015022379567	What do you want here?
mdp.39015022379567	What happened, Mac?
mdp.39015022379567	What have the police to do with it?
mdp.39015022379567	What in hell has the bank got to do with it?
mdp.39015022379567	What is your own plan now, Thorne?
mdp.39015022379567	What makes you so sure that Styles is innocent, Thorne?
mdp.39015022379567	What man?
mdp.39015022379567	What sort of a chap is he?
mdp.39015022379567	What the hell were you up to last night, Thorne,he growled,"you and that damned Jap?"
mdp.39015022379567	What then?
mdp.39015022379567	What time is it?
mdp.39015022379567	What time was that?
mdp.39015022379567	What was Harkley's attitude toward your investi- gation at their office?
mdp.39015022379567	What was his address here in town?
mdp.39015022379567	What was the trouble?
mdp.39015022379567	What's back of this Stilwell case, anyway?
mdp.39015022379567	What's that about the eyes?
mdp.39015022379567	What's that? mdp.39015022379567 What's the difference?"
mdp.39015022379567	What's the next move, Thorne?
mdp.39015022379567	What, store was it?
mdp.39015022379567	What?
mdp.39015022379567	When did you learn to draw?
mdp.39015022379567	When did you next return to this room?
mdp.39015022379567	When shall I see you again, Probus?
mdp.39015022379567	Where am I and how did I get here?
mdp.39015022379567	Where did you get him, Thorne?
mdp.39015022379567	Where did you hear that?
mdp.39015022379567	Where does a foreigner come in on the Stilwell case?
mdp.39015022379567	Where does fear come In? mdp.39015022379567 Where have you been, ” he asked, “ and why did you beat it?"
mdp.39015022379567	Where is Mr. Quint, your employer? ” he was asked. mdp.39015022379567 Where is he?
mdp.39015022379567	Where is he?
mdp.39015022379567	Where is the injured man?
mdp.39015022379567	Where was he and what does he say for himself?
mdp.39015022379567	Who are there?
mdp.39015022379567	Who are you, anyway?
mdp.39015022379567	Who are you?
mdp.39015022379567	Who do you want?
mdp.39015022379567	Who had such an opportunity?
mdp.39015022379567	Who is his lawyer?
mdp.39015022379567	Who is this Peter Van Dorn?
mdp.39015022379567	Who's hurt?
mdp.39015022379567	Why am I disturbed in this manner? ” he asked as he stood blocking the door. mdp.39015022379567 Why am I here under arrest? ” asked Styles.
mdp.39015022379567	Why did you do it?
mdp.39015022379567	Why, was n't everything cleared up?
mdp.39015022379567	Will you do as I tell you?
mdp.39015022379567	Will you leave a message?
mdp.39015022379567	Yeah?
mdp.39015022379567	Yes, I see, but how about the eyes?
mdp.39015022379567	Yes, always; and when he is called out at night it has been his rule for years to leave a note on his desk 96 WHY MURDER THE JUDGE? mdp.39015022379567 Yes, sir, thank you, sir,"and with an inscrutable air 36 WHY MURDER THE JUDGE?
mdp.39015022379567	Yes, we know,interposed Thorne;"but while you were all looking at the book was there time for some- one to poison the judge's drink?"
mdp.39015022379567	Yes, what is it?
mdp.39015022379567	Yes,interrupted the inspector,"and you might add: Who threw that book out of the judge's window?
mdp.39015022379567	Yesterday?' mdp.39015022379567 You are sure that Valois has entire charge of these matters?"
mdp.39015022379567	You kept it a secret, of course, that his wife's finger prints were on the bottle?

mdp.39015022379567	He smoked in silence for a few minutes and then asked:"Anything else new?"

mdp.39015047750586	And do n't you think that every detective at one time or another has a tendency toward crime, either as a thief or as an assassin?
mdp.39015047750586	And how are you, my dear boy? mdp.39015047750586 And suppose he had n't chosen?
mdp.39015047750586	And the diamond?
mdp.39015047750586	And the murder of Susy d'Orsel?
mdp.39015047750586	And these men found nothing unusual?
mdp.39015047750586	And this Marie Pascal is the last person who saw 56 A ROYAL PRISONER Susy d'Orsel alive, excepting, of course, the King? mdp.39015047750586 And where is this third person?"
mdp.39015047750586	And while you were away hunting the doctor and the police, did you leave the door of the house open?
mdp.39015047750586	And who rescued you?
mdp.39015047750586	And why do you want to know that?
mdp.39015047750586	And why not, Wulf?
mdp.39015047750586	And why not, if you please?
mdp.39015047750586	And why not?
mdp.39015047750586	And you are sure he recognized him at the Royal Palace?
mdp.39015047750586	And you let him go?
mdp.39015047750586	And,continued the journalist,"as this belonged to the Marquis de Serac?"
mdp.39015047750586	Anything to report?
mdp.39015047750586	At his house?
mdp.39015047750586	Before Juve left he had proved to me that the King was the real King; is n't that so?
mdp.39015047750586	By the way,pursued M. Annion, oblivious of Juve's trouble,"you did n't happen to learn any details concerning the King's toilette at Glotzbourg?"
mdp.39015047750586	Can I see you for a couple of minutes? mdp.39015047750586 Can you hear me?"
mdp.39015047750586	Can you tell me where Wulf is?
mdp.39015047750586	Do they know in Glotzbourg?
mdp.39015047750586	Do you wish me to come with you, Monsieur, or would you prefer to return alone?
mdp.39015047750586	Does he take me for the King too? mdp.39015047750586 Fandor, old chap,"he soliloquized,"what's the 155 A ROYAL PRISONER 157"You are not a reporter?"
mdp.39015047750586	Fantomas arrested? mdp.39015047750586 Fantomas?"
mdp.39015047750586	For the love of God, who are you?
mdp.39015047750586	Have a cocktail, Wulf?
mdp.39015047750586	Have you a telephone?
mdp.39015047750586	Have you done with your lamentations?
mdp.39015047750586	Have you heard?
mdp.39015047750586	He must go to the Station?
mdp.39015047750586	He's still a bit soused,he muttered to himself, then wagging a reproving finger at the King, he con- tinued:"Who am I?
mdp.39015047750586	How about the bill?
mdp.39015047750586	How should I know? mdp.39015047750586 I have a feeling that something happened here,"he muttered,"but what?"
mdp.39015047750586	Idiot, do n't you understand what's happening? mdp.39015047750586 If it is n't Juve who is speaking, who is it?"
mdp.39015047750586	If our man is n't on the first train that passes Cour- celles, then we must hurry over to the Bois de Bou- logne Station, understand?
mdp.39015047750586	In your letter?
mdp.39015047750586	Is Justine in her room now?
mdp.39015047750586	Is Marie Pascal in?
mdp.39015047750586	Is it here the tragedy took place?
mdp.39015047750586	Is that all?
mdp.39015047750586	Is that so? mdp.39015047750586 It was you who arrested him?"
mdp.39015047750586	Let me see, what is your name, Monsieur?
mdp.39015047750586	Look here, what does this mean?
mdp.39015047750586	Louis must go to the Station?
mdp.39015047750586	Ma- dame Ceiron has n't by any chance taken it away, has she?
mdp.39015047750586	Madame Ceiron?
mdp.39015047750586	Mademoiselle Marie Pascal?
mdp.39015047750586	Maybe she has received letters which will tell usl Have you the key of her room?
mdp.39015047750586	Nearly killed you? mdp.39015047750586 No, what of it?"
mdp.39015047750586	No, why?
mdp.39015047750586	Of course it is rather appalling, but why do you go there, Madame Ceiron?
mdp.39015047750586	Oh, what can be done?
mdp.39015047750586	Public opinion?
mdp.39015047750586	Sire, can you hear me? mdp.39015047750586 Sire, is this the place?"
mdp.39015047750586	Sire,whispered the gentle voice of Marie Pascal,"may I remind you of a promise?
mdp.39015047750586	Stolen by Fantomas?
mdp.39015047750586	Suppose you both come and lunch with me to- morrow, will you?
mdp.39015047750586	That has to be proved, has n't it?
mdp.39015047750586	The diamond?
mdp.39015047750586	Then Monsieur means to say that a third person was present?
mdp.39015047750586	Then why did you steal those jewels? mdp.39015047750586 There is no such thing as unnecessary economy, is there, cousin?"
mdp.39015047750586	To hate her? mdp.39015047750586 To her house?"
mdp.39015047750586	Twenty- four hours gained anyway, but I wonder where the devil I can get hold of this Wulf? mdp.39015047750586 Was he alone?"
mdp.39015047750586	Was he alone?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, Doctor?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, Mademoiselle, what can I do for you?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, Monsieur Juve, and what do you think of my detective instinct?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, did you see the King?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what do you want?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what do you want?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what is new? mdp.39015047750586 Well, what of it?"
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what then?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what then?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what's new? mdp.39015047750586 Well, you probably know that the King of Hesse- Weimar, Frederick- Christian II, has been staying in- cognito in Paris?"
mdp.39015047750586	Well, you were successful?
mdp.39015047750586	Were you in bed when the suicide took place?
mdp.39015047750586	What are you doing?
mdp.39015047750586	What are you doing?
mdp.39015047750586	What can Juve be doing?
mdp.39015047750586	What d'you want?
mdp.39015047750586	What did he do then?
mdp.39015047750586	What did you do, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015047750586	What do you know about them?
mdp.39015047750586	What do you mean?
mdp.39015047750586	What do you want?
mdp.39015047750586	What does she want?
mdp.39015047750586	What friends has he seen?
mdp.39015047750586	What have you found out?
mdp.39015047750586	What is his name?
mdp.39015047750586	What is it you wish to inquire about?
mdp.39015047750586	What is it?
mdp.39015047750586	What is to be done? mdp.39015047750586 What must I do?"
mdp.39015047750586	What on earth does all this mean?
mdp.39015047750586	What on earth for?
mdp.39015047750586	What the devil does that mean? mdp.39015047750586 What the dickens is he gassing about?"
mdp.39015047750586	What was Conchita asking you just now?
mdp.39015047750586	What was it?
mdp.39015047750586	What's that?
mdp.39015047750586	What's that?
mdp.39015047750586	What's that?
mdp.39015047750586	What's the matter? mdp.39015047750586 What's this all about?"
mdp.39015047750586	What's your name?
mdp.39015047750586	What?
mdp.39015047750586	When did you get back?
mdp.39015047750586	When you went back just now to the scene of the accident, did n't you learn any of the details?
mdp.39015047750586	Where are you going, Monsieur Wulf?
mdp.39015047750586	Where are you going?
mdp.39015047750586	Where is the King, Fandor?
mdp.39015047750586	Where the devil are they going to take me?
mdp.39015047750586	Who is it now? mdp.39015047750586 Who is speaking?
mdp.39015047750586	Who is there?
mdp.39015047750586	Who knows that?
mdp.39015047750586	Who? mdp.39015047750586 Why do you call me Monsieur le Baron?"
mdp.39015047750586	Why? mdp.39015047750586 Why?"
mdp.39015047750586	Will His Majesty the King be present at the Queen's reception to- day?
mdp.39015047750586	Yes, I have the key; would you like to go up?
mdp.39015047750586	You are awake, Monsieur?
mdp.39015047750586	You are looking for some one?
mdp.39015047750586	You are sure he will come?
mdp.39015047750586	You are sure of that?
mdp.39015047750586	You are sure you put it there?
mdp.39015047750586	You do n't know why he left so early? mdp.39015047750586 You must be getting uneasy?"
mdp.39015047750586	You see, Mademoiselle, that is conclusive, is n't it? mdp.39015047750586 Your Majesty did n't receive it?"
mdp.39015047750586	Your colleague?
mdp.39015047750586	Your what, Sire? mdp.39015047750586 * CHAPTER XXI HORRIBLE CERTAINTYXT THAT has happened to that idiot Juve?
mdp.39015047750586	... Is that it?"
mdp.39015047750586	.?"
mdp.39015047750586	192 A ROYAL PRISONER"Have you thought over a way we can effect the exchange?"
mdp.39015047750586	68 A ROYAL PRISONER Without thinking the journalist asked:"Is she pretty?"
mdp.39015047750586	A ROYAL PRISONER 215"Very good, and then?"
mdp.39015047750586	A delightfully poetic and thoroughly Parisian idea, is n't it?"
mdp.39015047750586	A voice from the depth of the cushions inquired:"What bad news?"
mdp.39015047750586	Again, was the personnel of the hotel really duped by the substitution?
mdp.39015047750586	Am I not right?"
mdp.39015047750586	And did you get my letter?"
mdp.39015047750586	And what about this"Wuir?
mdp.39015047750586	And what did he mean by'the discretion of his men?'"
mdp.39015047750586	And what's all this about a letter?"
mdp.39015047750586	And where?
mdp.39015047750586	Another cup of coffee?"
mdp.39015047750586	Any friend?"
mdp.39015047750586	Anything that'he'asks for let him have, you understand?"
mdp.39015047750586	Are inspectors 42, 59 and 63 there?
mdp.39015047750586	Are n't we still a republic, I should like to know?"
mdp.39015047750586	Are we in the presence of a phenomenon similar to that recalled just now by M. Anastasius Baringouin?
mdp.39015047750586	Are we, at the beginning of the twentieth century — the century of Science and Precision — victims of halluci- nation or sorcery?
mdp.39015047750586	As for the diamond, of what possible use could it be to the thief?
mdp.39015047750586	At this moment a soft and charming voice spoke:"Sire, are you there?
mdp.39015047750586	At this moment a violent knocking began and a voice from the hall cried out:"What's the matter?
mdp.39015047750586	But a prisoner of whom?
mdp.39015047750586	But how to do it?"
mdp.39015047750586	But if I do take him away, how the devil will Juve and I be able to catch the accomplices of Fantomas, if he has any?"
mdp.39015047750586	But under what conditions was he living?
mdp.39015047750586	But what is the matter with you?"
mdp.39015047750586	But what was Lady Beltham doing there known to the Hesse- Weimar people as the Grand Duchess Alex- andra?
mdp.39015047750586	But where was he?
mdp.39015047750586	But why in this particular room?
mdp.39015047750586	CHAPTER IV WHO DO THEY THINK I AM?
mdp.39015047750586	CHAPTER XIII THE KINGDOM OF HESSE- WEIMAR"T"TAS Monsieur le Baron any trunks to be ex- I I amined?

mdp.39015047750586	CHAPTER XXVIII INNOCENT OR GUILTY?
mdp.39015047750586	CHAPTER XXXII THE ARREST OF FANTOMAS"OOD evening, Monsieur Caldoni, so you are\^ f starting soon?"
mdp.39015047750586	Ca n't you understand that we must absolutely come to some decision?
mdp.39015047750586	Can I beg you to persevere in the work to which your special aptitude calls you?"
mdp.39015047750586	Can it be possible?"
mdp.39015047750586	Can you hear me?"
mdp.39015047750586	Choosing several dishes at random, he returned the menu, and the man, bowing deeply, inquired:"Where shall we serve breakfast?
mdp.39015047750586	Dare I ask for a souvenir?"
mdp.39015047750586	Did n't I save the King's life a second time?"
mdp.39015047750586	Did they want to trap him into an unwary admission?
mdp.39015047750586	Do n't you care enough for him to realize that the very idea of sharing him with another would have been in- tolerable?
mdp.39015047750586	Do n't you remem- ber?
mdp.39015047750586	Do you know if the door to the one used by the servants was locked?"
mdp.39015047750586	Do you know what they found?"
mdp.39015047750586	Does that convey nothing to you?
mdp.39015047750586	Fandor, who was listening with the closest attention, now asked:"What do you deduce from that, Mad- emoiselle?"
mdp.39015047750586	For the twentieth time he asked Fandor the same question:"But, Sire, why the deuce are you wearing a false moustache and whiskers to- day?"
mdp.39015047750586	Frederick- Christian glanced at his companion and then burst out laughing:"What is your name, anyway?"
mdp.39015047750586	Furthermore, why did n't she simply walk through the several intervening cars and talk to him?
mdp.39015047750586	Giraud?"
mdp.39015047750586	Had he been sufficiently tactful?
mdp.39015047750586	Had the King taken vengeance upon his mistress in a moment of jealous insanity?
mdp.39015047750586	Had the day come?
mdp.39015047750586	Has he got my name?
mdp.39015047750586	Have I the pleasure of speaking to Monsieur Juve?"
mdp.39015047750586	He asked:"Upon what do you place this supposed impos- ture?"
mdp.39015047750586	He had seen Lady Belthaml CHAPTER XVII ON THE RIGHT TRAIL"r| iHE Bureau of Public Highways, if you please?"
mdp.39015047750586	He made some remark to this effect and the journalist answered:"Why not, Wulf?
mdp.39015047750586	He put the usual question:"You do n't happen to have seen a fat little man, drunk and profusely decorated?"
mdp.39015047750586	He then decided to call out: 38 A ROYAL PRISONER"Is there anyone here?"
mdp.39015047750586	He turned to Wulf:"Monsieur Wulf, you recognize this garment, do n't you?
mdp.39015047750586	How can I get him out of here?
mdp.39015047750586	How can anyone be sure that I really found the chemise?"
mdp.39015047750586	How did Susy d'Orsel come to fall out of the window?
mdp.39015047750586	How had Fandor managed the affair?
mdp.39015047750586	How had the arrest of Fantomas been effected?
mdp.39015047750586	How had the monster died?
mdp.39015047750586	How was it possible to over- take him?
mdp.39015047750586	I have to take a look around from time to time, so wo n't you come with me?"
mdp.39015047750586	I mean after the death?"
mdp.39015047750586	I was forgetting it is Fan- tomas who is supposed to be caught, then are they going to give out that Fantomas is dead?
mdp.39015047750586	I'm going to see a girl I know you understand?"
mdp.39015047750586	In a few moments he heard the door- chain with- drawn, and a woman's voice cried:"Who is there?"
mdp.39015047750586	In the boudoir?"
mdp.39015047750586	Innocent or Guilty?
mdp.39015047750586	Is anyone hurt?
mdp.39015047750586	Is he tall, broad shouldered, about forty- five, with gray hair and clean shaven?"
mdp.39015047750586	Is that a new one?"
mdp.39015047750586	Is that your Majesty?"
mdp.39015047750586	Is the lover of our lady upstairs a good- looking man?"
mdp.39015047750586	Is there anything I can do for you?"
mdp.39015047750586	Juve began:"What does this mean?
mdp.39015047750586	Juve, are you in?"
mdp.39015047750586	Look here, Wulf, are you married?"
mdp.39015047750586	M. Annion continued:"And what do you think happened yesterday after- noon?
mdp.39015047750586	Might she not have become weary of the yoke which joined her to this monster and be really repentant of her crimes?
mdp.39015047750586	Must I count all the carriages?"
mdp.39015047750586	Nothing has happened, has n't it?
mdp.39015047750586	Now what is our situation?
mdp.39015047750586	Now, what do you say to my proposition?"
mdp.39015047750586	Oh, M. Juve, what do you think?"
mdp.39015047750586	On the other hand, if they knew that Juve was not 206 A ROYAL PRISONER Fantomas, why the devil had this suicide story been invented?
mdp.39015047750586	Ought he to have arrested the individual now at the Station?
mdp.39015047750586	Rather sensational news, is n't it?"
mdp.39015047750586	She continued, pointing to the King:"Who is this man?
mdp.39015047750586	Suppose he had hesitated before the possible scandal of a rupture?
mdp.39015047750586	Susy d'Orsel expect any other visitor?
mdp.39015047750586	Susy d'Orsel, the King's mistress, which, by a curious coincidence, occurred in this very house?"
mdp.39015047750586	Susy d'Orsel?"
mdp.39015047750586	The King was n't here then, and yet they were heard singing?"
mdp.39015047750586	The Marquis crossed the room and opened the door; Wulf could heaf him talking: A ROYAL PRISONER 113"Is that you, Madame Ceiron?"
mdp.39015047750586	The Marquis gave a slight start:"Ah, and Juve has found nothing, suspects no- body?"
mdp.39015047750586	The real King?
mdp.39015047750586	The servants had gone to bed?"
mdp.39015047750586	The young man was pale and anxious:"Your orders have been carried out, Madame, are you satisfied?"
mdp.39015047750586	Then it was n't suicide?"
mdp.39015047750586	Then turning to the Chamberlain:"We have some very excellent schools here, have we not, Monsieur Kampfen?"
mdp.39015047750586	Then with an air of innocence he asked:"What telegram are you speaking of?
mdp.39015047750586	Then, smilingly, he said:"Well, Sire, feel better?"
mdp.39015047750586	There is no doubt that it came from Jacob and Company, the Glotzbourg tailors?"
mdp.39015047750586	Vicart?"
mdp.39015047750586	Was Fandor himself a victim?
mdp.39015047750586	Was he awake or was he dreaming?
mdp.39015047750586	Was it possible he had taken seriously the innocent flirtation between Susy and himself?
mdp.39015047750586	Well, what do you think of that?
mdp.39015047750586	Were you aware of that?"
mdp.39015047750586	What about public opinion on the one hand and the extraordinary audacity of this monarch on the other?"
mdp.39015047750586	What are you coming at this hour for?"
mdp.39015047750586	What are you trying to get at?"
mdp.39015047750586	What can I do for you, my dear Juve?"
mdp.39015047750586	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015047750586	What could be the motive powerful enough to prevent the mistress rejoining.her lover?
mdp.39015047750586	What did this extraordinary visit mean?
mdp.39015047750586	What did this mysterious ad- dress portend?
mdp.39015047750586	What did you see?"
mdp.39015047750586	What does this mean?"
mdp.39015047750586	What does your Majesty mean?"
mdp.39015047750586	What had happened?
mdp.39015047750586	What have you done?"
mdp.39015047750586	What new and diabolical projects were on foot to bring the monster and his mistress together in this honest, bourgeois court of Hesse- Weimar?
mdp.39015047750586	What on earth could Wulf want to go there for?
mdp.39015047750586	What on earth shall I do with him now?
mdp.39015047750586	What on earth shall I tell him?"
mdp.39015047750586	What should you think of his testimony?"
mdp.39015047750586	What sort of welcome had he received from M. Heberlauf?
mdp.39015047750586	What time is it?"
mdp.39015047750586	What was to be done now?
mdp.39015047750586	What was to be done?
mdp.39015047750586	What was to be done?
mdp.39015047750586	What would you have done in my place?
mdp.39015047750586	What's the result of your investigation, Juve?"
mdp.39015047750586	What, however, could have been the motive of such odious savagery?
mdp.39015047750586	What?
mdp.39015047750586	Where 174 A ROYAL PRISONER 175 the deuce did he get it?
mdp.39015047750586	Where had he heard that name before?
mdp.39015047750586	Where have you been?"
mdp.39015047750586	Where is the King?
mdp.39015047750586	Where is the victim of the crime?"
mdp.39015047750586	Where?"
mdp.39015047750586	Which one belonged to the King?
mdp.39015047750586	Which would be the best to take?
mdp.39015047750586	Who Do They Think I Am?
mdp.39015047750586	Who are you?
mdp.39015047750586	Who had taken his place?
mdp.39015047750586	Who is that?
mdp.39015047750586	Who is this man?"
mdp.39015047750586	Who was it?
mdp.39015047750586	Who?"
mdp.39015047750586	Why are you here, Monsieur Juve?
mdp.39015047750586	Why do n't you search?"
mdp.39015047750586	Why do you think the King is not the King?"
mdp.39015047750586	Why have you the key of Susy d'Orsel's apartment in your possession?"
mdp.39015047750586	Will you kindly explain to me what they are?
mdp.39015047750586	Would you believe that at seven o'clock this evening there was a shouting, howling mob in front of the Royal Palace?
mdp.39015047750586	Wulf, what would you say to two plump white arms around your neck?"
mdp.39015047750586	You are ready for anything?"
mdp.39015047750586	You can furnish absolute proof of what you say?
mdp.39015047750586	You do n't happen to know who the real murderer is, do you?"
mdp.39015047750586	You have n't the least idea Then what answer could you make?"
mdp.39015047750586	You know already?"
mdp.39015047750586	You probably have seen them yourself?"
mdp.39015047750586	You've been shadowing him?"
mdp.39015047750586	and you say he struck him?"
mdp.39015047750586	but what about the night Susy d'Orsel was killed?
mdp.39015047750586	but who was duping them, and why?
mdp.39015047750586	d'Orsel had no relations?"
mdp.39015047750586	d'Orsel?"
mdp.39015047750586	exclaimed the King,"what influence have I been under during these last four days?"
mdp.39015047750586	good God, what has happened?"
mdp.39015047750586	however, that's not our fault, is it, Wulf?"
mdp.39015047750586	queer taste, is n't it?"
mdp.39015047750586	shall I order your Majesty a bottle?"
mdp.39015047750586	the King?
mdp.39015047750586	understand?"
mdp.39015047750586	what are you doing?"
mdp.39015047750586	what does the whole thing mean?
mdp.39015047750586	what have you done since I left you?
mdp.39015047750586	what's the matter with you, Sire?
mdp.39015047750586	why the deuce do n't you read the papers?
mdp.39015047750586	you grasp my meaning?"
mdp.39015014603115	Any idea who it might have been? ” he asked. mdp.39015014603115 Are you not making a mistake, sir? ” he asked with mock politeness.
mdp.39015014603115	As far as I can say, The Scor- pion's prints have never been recorded. ” CHAPTER XV WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE? mdp.39015014603115 Can you perform on Lander? ” asked Barnard pres- ently.
mdp.39015014603115	Did he speak? ” “ No, just groaned, and passed out. mdp.39015014603115 Did n't I see you with the Captain this morning? ” Dick agreed that he had, and Carfax turned to Kiley.
mdp.39015014603115	Did you see the milk come in? ”Sure.
mdp.39015014603115	Do n't you see it, Trotter? ” he demanded. mdp.39015014603115 Do you know her? ” “ Do I know Lola Demaine?
mdp.39015014603115	Do you know her? ” “ Do I know Lola Demaine? mdp.39015014603115 Do you know how to operate the doors from the in- side? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	Does anything strike you about that milk supply? ” demanded the Chief Inspector suddenly. mdp.39015014603115 Fingerprints? ” queried Forster, interested.
mdp.39015014603115	Frightful shock for you, eh? ” observed Dick Marlow as Hanson hurried off. mdp.39015014603115 Have you asked Doctor Hanson to join us at dinner to- night, Uncle?"
mdp.39015014603115	Have you inquired of the French or Belgian police?
mdp.39015014603115	He's working with you, is n't he?
mdp.39015014603115	How did you first meet him? ” “ Sammy Lander introduced me some months ago,re- plied Cardon quickly.
mdp.39015014603115	How much more so, then, might the influence be increased under cer- tain conditions by the more powerful and trained will of another? mdp.39015014603115 How the flaming hell did you get here? ” ejaculated Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	How you feel now? ” she asked. mdp.39015014603115 I suppose that there is no doubt that it was an acci- dent? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	I wonder who Simon Wernick really is? ” mused Ann presently. mdp.39015014603115 I wonder? ” he murmured.
mdp.39015014603115	Is Marlow at Jermyn Street? ” he asked. mdp.39015014603115 Is it possible that they have pooled their finances in preparation for a big haul? ” suggested Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Is that so? ” murmured Trotter thoughtfully. mdp.39015014603115 It is nothing to do with his life in China, is it?"
mdp.39015014603115	It's still there, I suppose? ” “ Yes, it's still there. ” “ Has it been unloaded?
mdp.39015014603115	It's still there, I suppose? ” “ Yes, it's still there. ” “ Has it been unloaded?
mdp.39015014603115	Lander tried to bung me under the car, did n't he? ” “ He did! ” agreed Barnard grimly. mdp.39015014603115 Looks better than the Strand, do n't it? ” he re- marked.
mdp.39015014603115	Not a trace, eh? ” “ Nothing that I can see, sir. ” “ A wise qualification, Forster. mdp.39015014603115 Precious few cows, ai n't there? ” “ Looks pretty dead, ” agreed Brett.
mdp.39015014603115	Well, Forster, ” inquired the Chief Inspector, “ any de- velopments? ” “ No, sir. mdp.39015014603115 Who is that? ” he asked Kiley.
mdp.39015014603115	Whose car? ” demanded Barnard, as Trotter paused. mdp.39015014603115 Yes, and why not?
mdp.39015014603115	You no dance, Deek? ” she smiled, gazing into his eyes intently. mdp.39015014603115 You- you are absolutely sure? ” she faltered in a husky whisper.
mdp.39015014603115	127 “ You were saying? ” prompted the crook.
mdp.39015014603115	142 SCORPION'S TRAIL “ Are you folks coming to tea? ” she asked, smiling.
mdp.39015014603115	168 SCORPION'S TRAIL “ Jolly, eh? ” smiled Dick, with an ell- embracing sweep of his hand.
mdp.39015014603115	172 SCORPION'S TRAIL Why was it that she seemed to have become a magnet for violence and death?
mdp.39015014603115	? ” Dick looked across to the table and observed a fat, yellow- faced Oriental who reminded him of a big toad.
mdp.39015014603115	? ” He tittered again, the silly giggle of a half- wit.
mdp.39015014603115	A dreadful confession to make, is it not?
mdp.39015014603115	Ah, like myself, waiting upon the divine Lola, eh? ” Dick nodded.
mdp.39015014603115	All clear now? ” “ Yes, ” growled Dick in disgust.
mdp.39015014603115	All very satisfactory information; but was it sufficient to support the arrest of Carfax and Lola Demaine?
mdp.39015014603115	An interesting experience which afforded me much pleasure. ”"Did you come into contact with any outstanding crim- inals? ” asked Kotlar.
mdp.39015014603115	And that youngster ai n't likely to be the manager, is he? ”"No, of course not.
mdp.39015014603115	And what, after all, is the price? ”"A lot of money, ” rasped Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	And why was he here now?
mdp.39015014603115	And you have received vague impressions on several occasions? ” “ That my father was near me, yes.
mdp.39015014603115	Anything else? ” “ No, Chief. ”"Right!
mdp.39015014603115	Anything more, Doctor? ” “ No, they all went to bed afterwards.
mdp.39015014603115	Anyway, are we going to stand in?
mdp.39015014603115	Are you subjected to attacks of this nature? ” “ Unfortunately I am.
mdp.39015014603115	Bring up that case I left in the car, will you? ” “ The jolly old magic box of tricks! ” laughed Dick, go- ing off to get it.
mdp.39015014603115	But I imagine that he must. ” “ What must I do? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015014603115	But I suppose I'm not mad? ” he added with a shudder as he sat upright upon the divan.
mdp.39015014603115	But how shall we recognize it?
mdp.39015014603115	But how? » time, that 1.
mdp.39015014603115	But is it pos- sible to wipe out slums?
mdp.39015014603115	But was the impression a conscious effort on the part of some brain near him?
mdp.39015014603115	But what brings you here at this unholy hour? ” Dick helped himself to a cigarette and sat on the corner of the table, swinging one leg.
mdp.39015014603115	But what possible connection have I with one of The Scorpion's crew?
mdp.39015014603115	But what'll this bloke do with the girl? ” Barnard shrugged his shoulders.
mdp.39015014603115	But whose print?
mdp.39015014603115	But why the heck do n't she smile? ” “ Not exactly bursting with joy, is she? ” returned the cameraman and clicked the shutter.
mdp.39015014603115	But why the heck do n't she smile? ” “ Not exactly bursting with joy, is she? ” returned the cameraman and clicked the shutter.
mdp.39015014603115	But you realize what that would mean? ” Ann nodded.
mdp.39015014603115	But, blimey, it takes a lot of believing, do n't it?
mdp.39015014603115	By the way, Kiley, what put you on to Pilkington? ” Kiley thought for a moment.
mdp.39015014603115	By the way, Sergeant, have the diamonds been recovered? ” Trotter grinned.
mdp.39015014603115	By the way, what is your name?
mdp.39015014603115	By the way, what was Carfax like in appearance? ” Dick described the man as accurately as he could.
mdp.39015014603115	Chan- Fu is only there at odd times and one ca n't al- ways see him. ”"But you can, eh? ” said Barnard quietly.
mdp.39015014603115	Coming, Marlow? ” Dick followed them from the room to the corridor where the gas jet spluttered.
mdp.39015014603115	Coming? ” Kiley shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	Conway had no such illusion and saved himself when the crash came. ” “ What is Conway's record? ” asked Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Could he continue to do the same in the United Kingdom?
mdp.39015014603115	Curious how The Scorpion's trail crosses her own, is it not?
mdp.39015014603115	Curious, eh? ” THE KILLER STRIKES AGAIN 99 “ It is, Doctor,"agreed Barnard, in his slow, deliberate voice.
mdp.39015014603115	Curiously enough, the matter reached its climax during the time I was in Paris. ”"Oh, a French case, eh? ” exclaimed Kotlar.
mdp.39015014603115	Damn, I've got it! ” “ Yes, sir? ” prompted Forster eagerly as Hanson stopped.
mdp.39015014603115	Dashed bad luck, what? ” he said, as Dick concluded.
mdp.39015014603115	Did n't you meet her? ” he asked, and fully expected the lie which came.
mdp.39015014603115	Did you read quite recently of the assassination of a French Count outside a London church? ”"I saw the headlines, but I did n't read the account.
mdp.39015014603115	Do I bore you, Dick? ” “ Unquestionably you do.
mdp.39015014603115	Do I recognize him?
mdp.39015014603115	Do I?
mdp.39015014603115	Do you feel equal to talking? ” “ Yes, rather.
mdp.39015014603115	Do you know how Kotlar became ac- quainted with him? ” Ann thought for a moment.
mdp.39015014603115	Do you know if the man was given a receipt? ” Trotter shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	Do you know where the village constable might be found, Miss Penhayle? ” “ No, Doctor Hanson, ” Ann replied regretfully.
mdp.39015014603115	Do you know who he really is, Barnard? ” Barnard shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	Do you not agree with me? ”"I can not entirely agree with you, ” replied Hanson, politely.
mdp.39015014603115	Do you recall Baron Lafontaine's death?
mdp.39015014603115	Do you think it would be possible for Ann to be exempted from attendance at the inquest on that unfortunate young man?
mdp.39015014603115	Do you think that I would have stayed here so quietly if I did not know?
mdp.39015014603115	Do you- er- doubt it? ”.
mdp.39015014603115	Does it not seem possible that the man who hypnotized him might also have supplied the weapon? ” Barnard swore softly to himself.
mdp.39015014603115	Even if they do suspect a particular individual and question him, what can he tell them?
mdp.39015014603115	Ever seen any- thing like it before? ” Dick shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	Feel equal to a bit of exploring? ” Kiley glanced at Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	For that matter, how could he know that we even existed? ”"I ca n't explain how or why, Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	Fortunately for us he chose this soft, bare patch to do it. ” “ Yes, but why three marks only?
mdp.39015014603115	Got up proud, ai n't she, Chief?
mdp.39015014603115	Had a good day? ” he asked casually, stilling a yawn.
mdp.39015014603115	Had they been the victims of an attempted holdup by road bandits?
mdp.39015014603115	Hanson WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE?
mdp.39015014603115	Has he returned? ” Barnard nodded, and Hanson continued.
mdp.39015014603115	Have I? ” Ann's flushed face was answer enough.
mdp.39015014603115	Have you mentioned this to Mr. Clayton? ” Ann smiled a little wistfully.
mdp.39015014603115	He ai n't likely to recognize you. ” “ So you think it possible that he is an old lag? ” asked Brett in surprise.
mdp.39015014603115	He did- yes, I am sure he did. ” “ But nothing else? ” persisted Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	He find me de engagement, see?
mdp.39015014603115	He fought off the impulse and said in a voice, none too steady: “ I'm not welcome this morning, Lola?
mdp.39015014603115	He has gone to London? ” Dick did not answer.
mdp.39015014603115	He smiled and, holding the tiny pill in his palm, asked, “ Paper and all, Lola? ” Lola shrugged her shoulders expressively.
mdp.39015014603115	He went down the road to a coffee stall and I got on to him. ” “ A Londoner? ” asked Barnard.
mdp.39015014603115	Her name is Lola Demaine. ” “ What? ” “ Lola Demaine, ” repeated Dick, wondering why his friend looked so startled.
mdp.39015014603115	How did you know? ”"From Doctor Hanson's description.
mdp.39015014603115	How does that time suit you? ” Dick breathed a big sigh.
mdp.39015014603115	How had Wernick come by the letter?
mdp.39015014603115	How many more would there be, detected or undetected, before they laid the master murderer by the heels?
mdp.39015014603115	How much? ” Mr. Kotlar's sallow face lost some of its servile good humor.
mdp.39015014603115	How often are seamen caught by the Customs officers?
mdp.39015014603115	How will that do you? ” “ Marvelous! ” exclaimed Dick, and meant it.
mdp.39015014603115	How, then, could he blame Trotter?
mdp.39015014603115	How? ”"Maybe it was introduced into the oil or petrol, ” sug- gested Forster.
mdp.39015014603115	How?"
mdp.39015014603115	I am sure that he was n't an ordinary road bandit. ”"Is this feminine intuition, I wonder? ” laughed Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	I do n't remember any gentlemen, Parker. ” “ No, sir?
mdp.39015014603115	I guess it's every man to his own trade, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	I mean, know that it is his? ” “ That's a chance we must take, of course,"admitted Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	I think that the man was hiding up there on the bank waiting for us. ” “ But, my dear sweet little soul, how could he have been?
mdp.39015014603115	I was just going out. ” “ Hampstead? ” asked Hanson with a smile.
mdp.39015014603115	I will have them brought along. ” “ Well? ” demanded Barnard, as the surgeon left the ward.
mdp.39015014603115	I'll be round for you in the old rattletrap six- thirtyish? ” Ann nodded her agreement.
mdp.39015014603115	I'll look into things, Doctor. ” “ From the Cornish end? ” “ From both ends and all the way up."
mdp.39015014603115	If the letter had been posted in Eng- 310 SCORPION'S TRAIL land, how had Valiente obtained possession?
mdp.39015014603115	Iing pr “ So? ” CHIEF INSPECTOR BARNARD's eyebrows twitched and his steely eyes narrowed as he stared at Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	In safety now she sat up and gasped: “ Somebody shot at us, Dick? ” Dick's pleasant face was no longer smiling.
mdp.39015014603115	Instead he asked: “ You have seen nothing? ” Ann shook her fair head.
mdp.39015014603115	Is Cleeve his first effort in England? ” Hanson sent a cloud of smoke ceilingward.
mdp.39015014603115	Is it not so?
mdp.39015014603115	Is that not the great proof of our glorious survival after earthly death?
mdp.39015014603115	It occurred in Paris eight months ago. ” “ Lafontaine? ” repeated Barnard thoughtfully.
mdp.39015014603115	It was good stuff you have dis morning, n'est- ce pas? » Kiley roused himself to a display of well- simulated en- thusiasm.
mdp.39015014603115	It's Three- Fingered Jimmy, is n't it? ” “ It is.
mdp.39015014603115	It's not nice, is it? ” Ann looked up at the gray eyes and the tanned face and found them pleasant.
mdp.39015014603115	It's the darkest for the whole month. ” “ What idea had Mr. Barnard in mind, do you think? ” asked Brett.
mdp.39015014603115	Know her? ” Hanson did not reply.
mdp.39015014603115	Know him?"
mdp.39015014603115	Kotlar did n't think him inoffensive, eh? ” 166 THE SNIPER 167 Ann shook her fair head thoughtfully.
mdp.39015014603115	Lola Demaine, she calls herself. ” “ A Frenchwoman? ” queried Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Looks like we struck some- thing good here, lad! ” “ How do you know he's the manager? ” asked Brett, and then wished he had n't.
mdp.39015014603115	Lord, I wish I was a crook! ” den- WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE?
mdp.39015014603115	May I come in? ” Without waiting for a reply he placed one hand upon the sill and vaulted into the room.
mdp.39015014603115	May I get you something- a drink- or-? ” “ You can get me some breakfast, Parker, ” replied Han- son.
mdp.39015014603115	Meet him casually, that's the idea, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	No news of the woman, I suppose? ”-“You suppose correctly, ” snapped Barnard, and strode away.
mdp.39015014603115	Not even with the French Sûreté? ” “ No, ” replied Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Not that it's likely to be very dark for any night this month, if the weather holds fine. ” TROTTER GOES TO CORNWALL 221 “ What do you propose?
mdp.39015014603115	Not to alarm you, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	Nothing more you want, Doctor? ” “ No, I'm satisfied.
mdp.39015014603115	Now when was it?
mdp.39015014603115	Now why does he do it?
mdp.39015014603115	Now, what can it be?
mdp.39015014603115	Now, when do I meet Sir Roger Pilkington? ” Kiley glanced at his wrist watch.
mdp.39015014603115	Of what use was all his knowledge and experience if he was going to allow himself to be impressed in this way?
mdp.39015014603115	Oh, so very annoying, n'est- ce pas?
mdp.39015014603115	Or do I get my idea from the novelists? ” “ I think you must, Mr. Kotlar,"replied Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Or had the ambush been pre- pared for them alone?
mdp.39015014603115	Rather peculiar smell? ” “ That's an exact description, Doctor.
mdp.39015014603115	Say, what about a little flutter while we wait for'em. ”"Flutter? ” asked Kiley in his tired voice.
mdp.39015014603115	Several from the man who was murdered at In- stow, Tracey Cleeve. ” “ Do they in any way explain his death?"
mdp.39015014603115	Shall I go right in? ” Ann watched him go up the path with his short, quick steps and breathed a little sigh of relief.
mdp.39015014603115	Shall we be going?
mdp.39015014603115	Shall we- er- discuss the arrange- ments? ” Kotlar cocked his head on one side and studied him with interest.
mdp.39015014603115	She bent closer and whispered in his ear: “ You come see me soon, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	She collects'em for Kotlar and sends'em along about once a week. ” “ She does not come herself? ” “ Apparently not, Chief.
mdp.39015014603115	She knows all about the kind of dope Carfax smokes, eh, sailor? ”"Does he smoke himself?
mdp.39015014603115	She knows all about the kind of dope Carfax smokes, eh, sailor? ”"Does he smoke himself?
mdp.39015014603115	Smuggling by sea has gone out of fashion. ” “ Aëroplane? ” asked Brett.
mdp.39015014603115	So you will appreciate now that there has been some very curious work going on around you, eh? ” Ann was frankly mystified.
mdp.39015014603115	That it? ” “ That was the arranged official verdict, but it was not the truth.
mdp.39015014603115	That suit you, Doctor? ” Hanson signified his agreement and Barnard left them.
mdp.39015014603115	That's right, is n't it? ” “ It is, sir, ” admitted the Divisional Inspector gruffly.
mdp.39015014603115	The future is going to see some amazing developments in the study of mind and its present mysteries. ” “ So?
mdp.39015014603115	Then he drew him aside and whispered: “ What's happened to the woman, sir?
mdp.39015014603115	Then, glancing up: “ You are still going on with that insane adventure, Doc- tor? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	There was nothing of any use from the servants, I suppose? ” Barnard shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	There will be an inquest? ”"Oh yes, that is certain,"replied Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	They ca n't be chucked out of the country as undesirable aliens then. ”"Is n't anything at all known about the woman? ” asked Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	This is murder, I take it? ” Hanson nodded slowly.
mdp.39015014603115	This murder was n't a woman's job. ” « Why not? ” questioned Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	To watch all night, every night? ” “ To watch every night when Basher gives the pub a miss, ” replied Trotter.
mdp.39015014603115	Understand? ” Forster saluted and stepped back as Barnard switched on the engine.
mdp.39015014603115	Understand? ” “ Yeah, ” grinned the youth.
mdp.39015014603115	Vander?"
mdp.39015014603115	WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE?
mdp.39015014603115	WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE?
mdp.39015014603115	WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE?
mdp.39015014603115	WHERE IS LOLA DEMAINE?
mdp.39015014603115	WHERE THE SNIPER LAY 207 “ And what's it supposed to be? ” asked Dick, as the last entry in the diary was made.
mdp.39015014603115	Was he, by striking now, acting prematurely?
mdp.39015014603115	Was this the danger of which he had spoken?
mdp.39015014603115	Was this, he wondered, the collective effect of all those evil thoughts which had been radiated in this room by drug- maddened brains?
mdp.39015014603115	Well, you do n't want to stay, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	What I meant was, how do you men of science explain the- er- supernormal phenomena?
mdp.39015014603115	What about it? ” Kiley rose slowly to his feet.
mdp.39015014603115	What about it? ” Kiley, having no knowledge of the real reason for the window being open, naturally drew a wrong conclusion.
mdp.39015014603115	What about it?"
mdp.39015014603115	What about that? ” Hanson's lean face relaxed its severity.
mdp.39015014603115	What exactly do you propose to do? ” “ Take a chance, Barnard, ” replied Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	What exactly is this poison? ” “ Actually, it is a brand of poison gas introduced by the Germans in 1918 but not extensively used then.
mdp.39015014603115	What had you in mind, Doctor? ” “ I was wondering why Kotlar goes all the way to Corn- wall for his milk supply.
mdp.39015014603115	What is more, two months ago a farm hand was savaged at that very spot. ” “ Thereby suggesting the method of murder? ”"Possibly.
mdp.39015014603115	What matters how I came?
mdp.39015014603115	What of Mr. Marlow? ”"Oh, just a nasty cut- a mere scalp wound.
mdp.39015014603115	What of the tire tracks?
mdp.39015014603115	What says that sign- post?
mdp.39015014603115	What sort is Kiley really? ” “ Jolly good fellow, ” replied Dick promptly.
mdp.39015014603115	What the hell was he doing?
mdp.39015014603115	What was it Cardon had found so amusing?
mdp.39015014603115	What was it Doctor Hanson had said about ghosts?
mdp.39015014603115	What was it like- loosely packed with thick tobacco, paper ends folded over with dried leaves inside the tobacco?
mdp.39015014603115	What was it- barbed wire? ” “ Something more flexible than stiff wire, Mr. Marlow.
mdp.39015014603115	What was that fright- ful vision he had just beheld?
mdp.39015014603115	What was that he could hear; the faintest rustle of silk?
mdp.39015014603115	What you might call strange, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015014603115	What's the drug? ” “ Cannabis Indica, hashish, bhang, the tender tops and sprouts of Indian hemp.
mdp.39015014603115	Whatever made me do it? ” Hanson had a shrewd idea of the truth, but he was not prepared just then to voice it.
mdp.39015014603115	Where did they get'em? ” “ They are family names, quite common in Cornwall. ”"Family names!
mdp.39015014603115	Where is he taking you, my dear? ” “ To the Adelphi Theater, to- night. ” “ Adelphi?
mdp.39015014603115	Where is he taking you, my dear? ” “ To the Adelphi Theater, to- night. ” “ Adelphi?
mdp.39015014603115	Where's he gone? ” he added, looking back.
mdp.39015014603115	Where? ” “ Instow, North Devon. ” “ Blast! ” Barnard cursed with disgust.
mdp.39015014603115	Whither wouldst thou go, brother? ” “ Charing Cross, Southern, ” replied Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	Who do you think it was? ” Hanson shrugged his shoulders regretfully.
mdp.39015014603115	Who else? ” Kiley shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
mdp.39015014603115	Who is he?
mdp.39015014603115	Who is she, by the way? ” “ Poppy Fredmann is a dirty little blackmailing prosti- tute.
mdp.39015014603115	Who the blazes are you, anyway? ” Wernick's grinning lips suddenly hardened into a straight, bloodless line.
mdp.39015014603115	Who the blazes was that shouting at him?
mdp.39015014603115	Who the devil was Simon Wernick?
mdp.39015014603115	Who the devil was The Scorpion?
mdp.39015014603115	Who the devil was he, anyway?
mdp.39015014603115	Who the devil was he?
mdp.39015014603115	Who was the little man?
mdp.39015014603115	Who?
mdp.39015014603115	Why did n't they do in Tracey Cleeve that way? ” “ Because this is a new innovation.
mdp.39015014603115	Why did she feel so charitably disposed toward him?
mdp.39015014603115	Why did the woman keep such letters?
mdp.39015014603115	Why had Lander been shot?
mdp.39015014603115	Why had she ever consented to marry him?
mdp.39015014603115	Why leave the engine running all that time, and at that hour of the night? ” “ Why, indeed! ” agreed Hanson enigmatically.
mdp.39015014603115	Why not four all to- gether and the thumb mark at an angle to them? ” asked Dick, still unconvinced.
mdp.39015014603115	Why should I be shot at, anyway? ”( Why was Jules Valiente murdered? ” retorted Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Why should I be shot at, anyway? ”( Why was Jules Valiente murdered? ” retorted Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	Why should mere geographical position affect it?
mdp.39015014603115	Why the devil did n't he go to bed and let Trotter do likewise?
mdp.39015014603115	Why?
mdp.39015014603115	Why? ” Hanson smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
mdp.39015014603115	Why? ” Hanson took out his case and, selecting a cigar, carefully lit it.
mdp.39015014603115	Why? ”"Do n't you see through the vile scheme?"
mdp.39015014603115	Why? ”"Do n't you see through the vile scheme?"
mdp.39015014603115	Why? ”"I was thinking that the time may come when we shall find it necessary to enlist his aid seriously.
mdp.39015014603115	Will you come up? ” The little man bowed his acceptance and together they went up the broad stairway.
mdp.39015014603115	Will you do it? ” “ Great guns, of course! ” exclaimed Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	Will you then pass it to Sir Roger in the morning?
mdp.39015014603115	Would it surprise you to learn that the gallant Count was really a thief and an impostor?
mdp.39015014603115	Would you? ” “ I should love it, ” replied Ann, glancing questioningly at her guardian, who, however, appeared to be lost in his thoughts.
mdp.39015014603115	You are spending the night with Captain Kiley, I understand? ” “ What's left of it, ” grinned Dick."
mdp.39015014603115	You believe that mind may exist apart from matter, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	You can think of no other person? ” “ Absolutely none, Paul.
mdp.39015014603115	You did not love the Frenchman, did you? ” ANN LEARNS THE TRUTH 135 Ann shook her head emphatically.
mdp.39015014603115	You do n't want it on your fingers and later, perhaps, in your mouth or eyes, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	You expected it? ”"Not to- day, Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	You have searched all the other flats? ” Barnard made a gesture of impatience.
mdp.39015014603115	You know it? ” “ Yes, ” replied Dick eagerly.
mdp.39015014603115	You observe how the prints were made? ” “ Sink me!
mdp.39015014603115	You understand?
mdp.39015014603115	You were engaged on official business in Paris, Doctor? ” Hanson nodded affirmation.
mdp.39015014603115	You were up there too? ” Sir Roger shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	You will, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	You will, eh? ” “ We shall be delighted, ” accepted Hanson, with a side- glance at Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	You would like to see him, of course? ” They followed the surgeon to the private ward in which Kiley lay, swathed in bandages and still unconscious.
mdp.39015014603115	Your tea, sir. ”- “ What?
mdp.39015014603115	what now?"
mdp.39015014603115	“ A bad habit for a doctor, eh? ” “ You've got a far worse habit, ” retorted Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	“ A ghost did you say?
mdp.39015014603115	“ Ai n't it? ” grinned Trotter, totally unabashed.
mdp.39015014603115	“ An unforgivable offense, eh?
mdp.39015014603115	“ And Kiley? ”"Had a slight accident with his car, but not seriously hurt.
mdp.39015014603115	“ And absolutely nothing further to help with Ann? ” “ Nothing, ” replied Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	“ And so you believe me to be the thief? ” he asked quizzically.
mdp.39015014603115	“ And the symptoms, Doctor? ” “ Extreme pallor, clammy skin, contraction of pupils, breathing heavy when moved, and hallucinations."
mdp.39015014603115	“ Anyway, do you think we shall nobble the jolly old Scorp? ” Hanson shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Are you a ruddy ghost, or what the devil are you? ”"Oh, tut, tut!
mdp.39015014603115	“ Are you familiar from practical experience with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning? ” he asked politely.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Are you fit, Miss Penhayle?
mdp.39015014603115	“ Are you returning to Bexley, Doctor? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Are you, by any chance, on the board of di- rectors? ” Carfax made a laughing gesture of repudiation and turned to Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Autosuggestion stuff, eh? ” murmured Barnard.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Been collecting scarecrows in my absence? ” asked Dick in a stage whisper.
mdp.39015014603115	“ But did you ever meet a really clever criminal? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ But who killed Valiente and Three- Fingered Jimmy? ” asked Dick presently, as Penhayle paused in his narrative.
mdp.39015014603115	“ But why not wait and tell Doctor Hanson all about it?
mdp.39015014603115	“ But you admit the joke? ” he insisted.
mdp.39015014603115	“ But you do n't believe in ghosts, Doctor Hanson? ” “ He ought to,"laughed Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	“ But, blimey, where? ” Barnard thrust back his chair with considerable violence.
mdp.39015014603115	“ By the way, Barnard, ” he asked, “ do you still harbor those vile suspicions against the girl? ”"No, Doctor, I do not.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Curse the idiot, he's rung off! ” “ What news? ” asked Hanson eagerly.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Did Miss Pen- hayle leave her room?
mdp.39015014603115	“ Did you discover that? ”"Only that his name is Robinson and that he was sent down from town to start the place going.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Did you say that Ann was safe, or did I dream that? ”"Ann is perfectly safe and waiting impatiently for you, ” smiled Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Died- eight months ago? ” she exclaimed.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Do you know him?"
mdp.39015014603115	“ Do you know where we are now, sir? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Ever heard of diphenyl cyanarsine, Cardon? ” Cardon licked a dry tongue over drier lips and shook his head, not trusting himself to speak.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Genuine corpse? ” queried Dick, eying him with frank curiosity.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Getting your hand in well with the old dame, ai n't you? ” grinned Trotter, as their hostess left the room.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Going? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Have you copies of the press photographs? ” asked Hanson.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How did I get home last night, Parker? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How did the harmless charity secretary explain his possession of such a weapon? ” P Harison smiled... inoly, I think.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How did you first meet Jules Valiente? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How does Mr. Kotlar impress you? ”"In the same manner, my dear Dick, as a fine culture of leprosy would impress an enthusiastic bacteriologist.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How long is that trance going to last, Doctor? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How the devil do you know there's been any trouble? ” “ My dear Dick, it's written so large upon your face that one can not possibly miss it.
mdp.39015014603115	“ How's the luck, Jerry? ” inquired Carfax, as they passed.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Hullo, what's the trouble out there? ” The voice of the trim maid was raised in voluble protest.
mdp.39015014603115	“ I do n't know. ” “ You do n't, eh? ” snapped Barnard grimly.
mdp.39015014603115	“ I see you again, eh? ” This last to Dick.
mdp.39015014603115	“ I suppose it is you? ” he added doubtfully, coming closer and sub- jecting the amused Hanson to a closer inspection.
mdp.39015014603115	“ I suppose you are not going that way? ” The prospect of a drive with the oily Mr. Kotlar did not appeal and Dick shook his head.
mdp.39015014603115	“ I suppose you realize what actually was wrong with Kiley? ” “ Not quite.
mdp.39015014603115	“ If it's the man I have in mind I fancy you have discovered more than his mere identity. ” “ You think he is an indexed criminal? ” “ I do.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Is n't he the crook who ran a gaming place down in Canning Town? ” “ That's him, lad.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Kiley was not inquisitive? ” Dick grinned.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Last evening, by the merest chance, I struck his trail. ” “ So?
mdp.39015014603115	“ Lola, what hell brew is that? ” he demanded, setting the glass upon the table.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Looking for butterflies'eggs, Paul? ” he grinned.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Lord love us, he looks bad, do n't he, Chief? ” com- mented Trotter.
mdp.39015014603115	“ May I ask what gave you the first clew, sir? ” he added with some hesitation.
mdp.39015014603115	“ My dear, ” said Clayton,"Mr. Marlow has asked my permission to ask you — to- to- request — What was it again, Mr. Marlow? ” Dick grinned.
mdp.39015014603115	“ No address or suggestion of where he might be found, or how he got in touch with him?"
mdp.39015014603115	“ No?
mdp.39015014603115	“ Now what about yours?"
mdp.39015014603115	“ Oh!—and why? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015014603115	“ One moment, Doctor Hanson, may I speak to you? ” Hanson paused and stared hard at him.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Or per- haps found some other method of making a living? ”"I've considered that, ” replied Barnard, “ and I do n't think it probable.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Queer cigarettes those, ai n't they, Chief? ” remarked Trotter.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Recognize him? ” asked Brett, equally excited.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Shall I see you in the club? ” But Dick left without replying.
mdp.39015014603115	“ Shall we say two hundred pounds? ” he said softly, keeping his gaze fixed upon Hanson's twitching lips.

mdp.39015014603115	“ You are quite sure that it was Wernick who came from Miss Penhayle's house? ” he asked.
mdp.39015014603115	“ You can provide me with the panacea I seek? ” asked Hanson, in a harsh, though slightly tremulous voice.
mdp.39015014603115	“ You did not recognize him, I suppose, Miss...? ” “ Ann Penhayle, ” she offered, shaking her head in nega- tive reply.
mdp.39015014603115	“ You feel good now, eh? ” The effect upon Kiley was plainly beneficial.

mdp.39015063525094	“ O Henry! ” said she hopefully, “ you do set by Annette, do n't you? ” “ Set by? ” Henry repeated angrily.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Readin ’? ” Ann looked up, keeping a forefinger on her place.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Same as he ought to? ” Annette shrieked at her.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Say, ” said she, “ should you think I could be called a crook?
mdp.39015063525094	“ Seliny, ” said she eagerly, “ do n't you want I should defend your case? ” “ No, ” said Selina, with unexpected acumen.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Seliny, ” she said, her hand still on the meager shoulder, “ ai n't it a wonderful night? ” “ Yes, ” said Selina indifferently.
mdp.39015063525094	“ She ai n't out of her head, is she? ” “ No, I guess not, ” said Emma wearily.
mdp.39015063525094	“ She did? ” he said incredulously.
mdp.39015063525094	“ She do n't think ’ twas her melon I've got here? ” she asked strenuously.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Show'em what? ” gasped Ann.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Tain't for me to tell what I done, ” she re- marked, adding, with a sly intelligence, “ Do n't ye know what they tell ye?
mdp.39015063525094	“ That you? ” asked Selina, her voice shrill and uncontrolled.
mdp.39015063525094	“ The one for you to put out o’the way?
mdp.39015063525094	“ They were after me. ” “ Who? ” said Ann.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Things?
mdp.39015063525094	“ This ai n't Saturday, is it? ” Annette stood there before them, blowzy of disordered hair and pink from running.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Well, any ways, ” said she, “ le ’s have dinner. ” “ Over to your house? ” Selina enquired hope- fully.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Well, ” said Ann, “ what d'he say?
mdp.39015063525094	“ Well, ” said he curtly, “ you know what's happened? ” “ Yes, ” said Ann eagerly.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What do you suppose, ” said she, “ has hap- pened to Cousin Jason? ” Emma gasped.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What for? ” “ What for? ” repeated Henry, as if anybody ought to have known immediately.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What for? ” “ What for? ” repeated Henry, as if anybody ought to have known immediately.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What is it? ” asked Ann kindly.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What kind of an arrant? ” asked Mirandy, arr Oswe une[ 169) THE MYSTERIES OF ANN V gathering impetus from the wonder of actually being answered.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What kind? ” she inquired.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What say? ” asked Henry, catching the mur- mur of the words.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What under the heav- ens d’you do that for? ” “ I told you, ” said Selina miserably.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What under the sun d’you steal things out 0 Was O[ 133] THE MYSTERIES OF ANN o'your pantry winder for? ” she asked.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What under the sun is it, anyways? ” she inquired.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What was it? ” Mrs. Holt asked curiously.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What was it?"
mdp.39015063525094	“ What you doin'? ” she inquired.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What you doin?
mdp.39015063525094	“ What you goin'into Ann Hale's for? ” he inquired, his own eyes narrowing in unconscious challenge.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What you takin'on like that for? ”.
mdp.39015063525094	“ What's that got to do with it?
mdp.39015063525094	“ What's that? ” “ It's bein'abandoned on an island an'the crew sailin'away from ye. ” But Ann forbore to elab- orate further.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Where's your hat an'coat? ” said Ann.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Whose name is it burnt into the handle? ” He seemed to Ann, not alarming, but indescriba- bly foolish.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why ca n't ye? ” she inquired curiously.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why did n't you go into the kitchen door? ” “ Why, ” said Ann,"ca n't you guess?
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why did n't you go into the kitchen door? ” “ Why, ” said Ann,"ca n't you guess?
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why do n't you know? ” enquired Mirandy.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why had n't I ought to done it? ” Ann in- quired boldly.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why, Ann Hale, ” said Mrs. Holt, “ you do n't mean you set down an'mull over ways o'makin''way with your fellar men?
mdp.39015063525094	“ Why, Ann Hale, ” said she, “ you ai n't been through any such thing as that, have you?
mdp.39015063525094	“ Will you, ” said he,"tell me what this is? ” Ann looked.
mdp.39015063525094	“ Yes, he did set by them. ” “ Set by'em? ” said Selina ragingly as if her mind could hardly compass the breadth of his devotion.
mdp.39015063525094	“ You acknowledge it then, do you? ” said he.
mdp.39015063525094	“ You ai n't been an'killed Cousin Jason after all? ” “ No, ” said Ann grimly, “ but I've done what's harder to explain.
mdp.39015063525094	“ You ai n't got an arrant, have you?
mdp.39015063525094	“ You ai n't left it in the Cave?"
mdp.39015063525094	“ You ai n't made way with it? ” Ann repeated, incredulously.
mdp.39015063525094	“ You do n't mean to say you've got Cousin Jason's will right there in your hand? ” “ Yes, ” said Selina indifferently.
mdp.39015063525094	“ You have? ” said Ann.
mdp.39015063525094	“ You poor dear creatur?
mdp.39015063525094	“ You remember Cousin Jason's old sugar house, do n't ye?
mdp.39015063525094	“ You want to see it?"
mdp.39015056725909	And d'ye mean to say that's worth one hundred thousand dollars?
mdp.39015056725909	And it is worth, you say, a hundred thousand dollars?
mdp.39015056725909	And it was twenty- five thousand dollars, you said, was n't it, chief?
mdp.39015056725909	And so I am to supply the place of the panned story that blew up — is that it? mdp.39015056725909 And that splice of Calhoun's, Lanson?
mdp.39015056725909	And would he be aware that this'grounding'process was going on?
mdp.39015056725909	And — and what guarantee have I,the French- THE WIRE DEVILS man burst out,"that you will give me the rube after you have taken my money?"
mdp.39015056725909	Any more of those messages?
mdp.39015056725909	Anything in that?
mdp.39015056725909	Are the rest of'em all like you?
mdp.39015056725909	Are you sure? mdp.39015056725909 Boarding here?"
mdp.39015056725909	But how do you know?
mdp.39015056725909	But it's no cinch to turn it into money without a big split — savvy?
mdp.39015056725909	But what's wrong, conductor?
mdp.39015056725909	But, now that you are here, are you pre- pared to settle?
mdp.39015056725909	Calhoun — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Caught with the goods this time, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Conmore — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	D'ye get him?
mdp.39015056725909	Did you see the Jour- nal on the'Crime Wave'this afternoon?
mdp.39015056725909	Do n't move, my bucko — understand? mdp.39015056725909 Do you identify this?"
mdp.39015056725909	Do you mean to say I've got your cash box?
mdp.39015056725909	Go?
mdp.39015056725909	Got anything against him?
mdp.39015056725909	Got his description?
mdp.39015056725909	He's west of here, you say?
mdp.39015056725909	How do you know I did?
mdp.39015056725909	How do you know it's a counterfeit — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	How long did you say?
mdp.39015056725909	How long since they've been arming the baggagemen on this road? mdp.39015056725909 How long you been here?"
mdp.39015056725909	How much?
mdp.39015056725909	I am a physician — Doc- tor Moreling is my name — and from what you have said I imagine that possibly you are a medical man yourself?
mdp.39015056725909	I say, I do n't suppose there's a chance of getting a squint at it, ch?
mdp.39015056725909	I wonder what's up?
mdp.39015056725909	I wonder what's up?
mdp.39015056725909	I wonder,communed the Hawk with himself,"who's the spider that spun the web; and I wonder how many little spiders he's got running around on it?"
mdp.39015056725909	I wonder,muttered the Hawk grimly,"when I'll run up against him?
mdp.39015056725909	I'm sure you did not know that it was not good, and ten dollars is a great deal to lose, is n't it? mdp.39015056725909 I'm well enough aware of it — but the necklace is n't any more important than any one of the other affairs, is it?
mdp.39015056725909	Is that all?
mdp.39015056725909	Is that right, conductor?
mdp.39015056725909	Is that straight?
mdp.39015056725909	It is you then, after all, who stole it — eh? mdp.39015056725909 Look here,"said the Butcher ingratiatingly, ig- noring the question,"I guess it's a case of split — eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	Look here,ventured the Hawk,"what's up?"
mdp.39015056725909	Make anything of it?
mdp.39015056725909	Nothing yet, by any chance, of course?
mdp.39015056725909	Now then, my bucko, what are you doing here?
mdp.39015056725909	Oh, your son — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	One of our own men — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Operation on a Japanese?
mdp.39015056725909	Panned?
mdp.39015056725909	Parson Joe, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Pretty good one, is n't it? mdp.39015056725909 Quite within my means?"
mdp.39015056725909	Satisfied?
mdp.39015056725909	Shall I introduce myself — Parson Joe?
mdp.39015056725909	So he's going to wait here, eh? mdp.39015056725909 So it's you — is it?
mdp.39015056725909	So you admit it, do you?
mdp.39015056725909	So you were after that, too, were you?
mdp.39015056725909	So you're the Hawk they're talking about, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	So you've thought better of it, have you? mdp.39015056725909 Sort of a glori- fied pawnbroker, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	That lets me out a little, does n't it?
mdp.39015056725909	That you, Butcher? mdp.39015056725909 The Hawk?
mdp.39015056725909	The Hawk?
mdp.39015056725909	The counter- feit ten- dollar bill you showed me last night?
mdp.39015056725909	The diamonds?
mdp.39015056725909	We do n't like to see an innocent man suffer — un- derstand? mdp.39015056725909 Well — any results?"
mdp.39015056725909	Well, there's no harm in saying a'High Personage'then, is there? mdp.39015056725909 Well, what about this Sing Sing convict, the Hawk, that the papers are featuring to- night?"
mdp.39015056725909	Well, what do you suggest?
mdp.39015056725909	Well, where do you come from?
mdp.39015056725909	Well, why did n't you say so before?
mdp.39015056725909	Well, you can do it pretty quick, ca n't you?
mdp.39015056725909	Well, you're here all right, Lanson, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Well?
mdp.39015056725909	Well?
mdp.39015056725909	What am I to do?
mdp.39015056725909	What d'ye think?
mdp.39015056725909	What did he say to you?
mdp.39015056725909	What did you say?
mdp.39015056725909	What do you do for a liv- ing?
mdp.39015056725909	What do you know about what happened in there?
mdp.39015056725909	What do you mean?
mdp.39015056725909	What do you say, Lanson? mdp.39015056725909 What do you want?"
mdp.39015056725909	What is it that you want?
mdp.39015056725909	What is it?
mdp.39015056725909	What — what does this mean?
mdp.39015056725909	What — what is it?
mdp.39015056725909	What's he sending?
mdp.39015056725909	What's that door there?
mdp.39015056725909	What's that fellow's moniker, Butcher?
mdp.39015056725909	What's the lay? mdp.39015056725909 What's the matter with Calhoun?"
mdp.39015056725909	What's the matter with it?
mdp.39015056725909	What's the meaning of this?
mdp.39015056725909	What's this?
mdp.39015056725909	What's this?
mdp.39015056725909	What's your business? mdp.39015056725909 What?"
mdp.39015056725909	Where'd you come from?
mdp.39015056725909	Where's the others, d'ye say?
mdp.39015056725909	Where? mdp.39015056725909 Who was it?"
mdp.39015056725909	Who's there?
mdp.39015056725909	Will you?
mdp.39015056725909	With what would I buy it back? mdp.39015056725909 Wonder how much of a haul I can make to- night?"
mdp.39015056725909	Yes? mdp.39015056725909 You do n't mind, do you, Doctor Meunier?
mdp.39015056725909	You get the idea, do n't you? mdp.39015056725909 You know what you're here for, Martin — what you've to do?
mdp.39015056725909	You mean — you recovered the bag?
mdp.39015056725909	You noticed the difference in strength, did n't you? mdp.39015056725909 You recognise it?
mdp.39015056725909	You think he's?
mdp.39015056725909	You, monsieur — is there not something that can be done?
mdp.39015056725909	Your room, is it?
mdp.39015056725909	310 THE WIRE DEVILS"Where?"
mdp.39015056725909	A drawer in the SOME OF THE LITTLE SPIDERS 108 desk, then, perhaps?
mdp.39015056725909	A mile?
mdp.39015056725909	Am I crazy?"
mdp.39015056725909	And how did you know that Kirschell accused me of being in it?"
mdp.39015056725909	And how many more were there?
mdp.39015056725909	And that's what I got — see?"
mdp.39015056725909	And the big one's got the green boys — eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	And was the reporter lying, or how did you work it to get him on the train?"
mdp.39015056725909	And what about the institution that owns it coming across big and no questions asked to get it back again?
mdp.39015056725909	And what do you think I made the break of whispering so Kir- schell would hear me for?"
mdp.39015056725909	And what interest could Kirschell, a New York crook, have in a place like Conmore, that was little more than a hamlet?
mdp.39015056725909	And where the head office is?"
mdp.39015056725909	And who does he shove it off on?"
mdp.39015056725909	And who he is?
mdp.39015056725909	And why ar* you staying here?
mdp.39015056725909	And, besides, who's receiv- ing the messages?
mdp.39015056725909	Any clue to that necklace?
mdp.39015056725909	Are you crazy?
mdp.39015056725909	But why?
mdp.39015056725909	But, say, how'd you like to break in here to- night like I did, and find another fellow'd got all the swag?
mdp.39015056725909	But, say, you do n't happen to remember, do you, a little talk you had with a'stranger up the line to- day?
mdp.39015056725909	Carries it around with him — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Cer- tainly, young man, why should you not say anything I have told you?
mdp.39015056725909	Conmore — eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	Did they get the diamonds from you after they shot you?"
mdp.39015056725909	Did you tell those men where they were?"
mdp.39015056725909	Do you get it?
mdp.39015056725909	Do you get me — Martin?"
mdp.39015056725909	Do you remember where you got it?"
mdp.39015056725909	Do you stumble to that?
mdp.39015056725909	Everything all right?"
mdp.39015056725909	Fly- cop?"
mdp.39015056725909	For instance, how did you come to make the break of wanting Kirschell to indorse the payment on the back of the note, which made him open his safe?"
mdp.39015056725909	Get me?
mdp.39015056725909	Get me?
mdp.39015056725909	Get that?
mdp.39015056725909	Had Dixer succeeded — or was the money still behind him there in the private car?
mdp.39015056725909	Had MacVightie found all — or nothing?
mdp.39015056725909	Had he made a mistake?
mdp.39015056725909	Had they resorted now to code words as well, to a cipher within a cipher?
mdp.39015056725909	Have any trouble?"
mdp.39015056725909	He's away now putting the cash box where it wo n't come to any harm — savvy?
mdp.39015056725909	How do you know?"
mdp.39015056725909	How far along those three miles from Burke's Siding to where the Butcher was waiting had the train already come?
mdp.39015056725909	How far had the Butcher taken the car before deserting it?
mdp.39015056725909	How long you been out in these parts, Butcher?"
mdp.39015056725909	How'd you get wise to this game to- night?"
mdp.39015056725909	How, for instance, unless they too had a"Bud"back there in New York, did they know of this diamond shipment coming through to- night?
mdp.39015056725909	How?"
mdp.39015056725909	I could n't afford to get into a row, and maybe miss the local, and spill the beans, could I?"
mdp.39015056725909	I guess there'll be some little side- step- ping to do — what?
mdp.39015056725909	I suppose you got it, did n't you — or you would n't be here?"
mdp.39015056725909	I — I guess I'm going out — ai n't I?
mdp.39015056725909	I'm getting to be some joker, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	I'm going to keep my mouth shut, ai n't I?
mdp.39015056725909	I'm — I'm going out — I — I've got what's coming to me, and that's — enough — is n't it — without her knowing too?
mdp.39015056725909	If they find any- thing at all, they'll find the spot where the messages are coming from, wo n't they?
mdp.39015056725909	If you hesitate on a word, I'll fire — and not through my pocket, you yellow curl Understand?
mdp.39015056725909	If you thought — what?"
mdp.39015056725909	Is this the Hawk?"
mdp.39015056725909	It's no wonder I never tumbled to that lay until the Ladybird opened the bagl I did n't recognise those news- counter fel- lows, did I?
mdp.39015056725909	Kind of sunk in, and you bit — eh, Calhoun?
mdp.39015056725909	Kirschell?"
mdp.39015056725909	Marakof renewed the note — why ca n't you?"
mdp.39015056725909	Mon Dieu, what does this mean?
mdp.39015056725909	Mouser and Jack were to report to Kirschell, were n't they?"
mdp.39015056725909	Mr. Lanson has told you?"
mdp.39015056725909	No harm done, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	No message in the Wire Dev.?
mdp.39015056725909	Not danger- ous?
mdp.39015056725909	Now then — if the Cricket will oblige?
mdp.39015056725909	Or, if found, what would prevent them tapping the wire on the next occasion many miles away?
mdp.39015056725909	Savvy?
mdp.39015056725909	Say, it's damned rough, ai n't it?
mdp.39015056725909	Say, maybe you might an- swer the same question yourself — eh?
mdp.39015056725909	See where you would have been?
mdp.39015056725909	She shook her head again; and then:"But you have not told me yet what you would like, sir?"
mdp.39015056725909	So that's the game — eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	So the old Shylock called the turn on you, did he?"
mdp.39015056725909	So you called the turn when the Bantam followed me — eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	Started your outside line inspection?"
mdp.39015056725909	THE LEAD CAPSULE 161"A — squint?"
mdp.39015056725909	THE MAN WITH THE SCAR 199"Was it?"
mdp.39015056725909	THE MAN WITH THE SCAR 205"And how did you know me, then?"
mdp.39015056725909	THE PAYMASTER'S SAFE 39-'How'd you suppose?"
mdp.39015056725909	Tell that to the guy that's supposed to have the brains of your out- fit, will you?
mdp.39015056725909	That him?"
mdp.39015056725909	That's good enough, is n't it?"
mdp.39015056725909	That's plain talk, is n't it?"
mdp.39015056725909	That's what I was after — see?
mdp.39015056725909	That's — quite — plain — isn't — it?
mdp.39015056725909	The biggest case of the lot, he said, was n't it?"
mdp.39015056725909	The tail- light?
mdp.39015056725909	The two of us are aplenty, are n't we?
mdp.39015056725909	Then in its leisurely drawl the sounder broke again; and again Martin read aloud:"'Pleasant — evening — isn't — it?
mdp.39015056725909	Then, after a short pause, anxious- ly:"Anything turned up at all, MacVightie?
mdp.39015056725909	Those are the cases up there by the forward door, are n't they?
mdp.39015056725909	Three miles east of Burke's Siding, eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	Two miles — three?
mdp.39015056725909	Under- stand?
mdp.39015056725909	Unless the line is tapped somewhere, it's a cinch that a sta- tion key is being used, is n't it?
mdp.39015056725909	Was it coming now?
mdp.39015056725909	Was it the dummy parcel — or the twenty- five thousand in cash?
mdp.39015056725909	Was the speed greater?
mdp.39015056725909	Was there another house in the neighbour- hood?
mdp.39015056725909	We want you — and when we want anything, we get itl See?
mdp.39015056725909	Well — the question came again, more insistent, more imperative, more vital — well, his life was in the bal- ance, what was he to do?
mdp.39015056725909	Well, it's a nice mess, eh?
mdp.39015056725909	Well?
mdp.39015056725909	Were they suspicious at last that he had the key to their cipher?
mdp.39015056725909	Were they tapping the wire somewhere?
mdp.39015056725909	What about you?
mdp.39015056725909	What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015056725909	What can I get you, sir?"
mdp.39015056725909	What chance was there to find out where?
mdp.39015056725909	What did it mean?
mdp.39015056725909	What encyclopedia did you get that'Becquerel burn'dope out of?
mdp.39015056725909	What is it?"
mdp.39015056725909	What is that?
mdp.39015056725909	What was he to do then?
mdp.39015056725909	What was it?
mdp.39015056725909	What was she saying?
mdp.39015056725909	What was the game — as planned?
mdp.39015056725909	What was the game?
mdp.39015056725909	What was the object of drugging the man if they did not take immediate advantage of it?
mdp.39015056725909	What was the signi- ficance of the word?
mdp.39015056725909	What would you have done?
mdp.39015056725909	What's become of him?"
mdp.39015056725909	What's he waiting for?
mdp.39015056725909	What's the wife and the kids you're talking about going to do if you go up for twenty years?"
mdp.39015056725909	What, then, had prompted Kirschell's trip to Con- more and return?
mdp.39015056725909	When?"
mdp.39015056725909	Where and how, for instance, was the next trap they would set for him to be laid?
mdp.39015056725909	Where is he?
mdp.39015056725909	Where was that?"
mdp.39015056725909	Where's Dixer?"
mdp.39015056725909	Where's the elec- tric- light switch?"
mdp.39015056725909	Who is the Hawk?"
mdp.39015056725909	Who was Isaac Kirschell?
mdp.39015056725909	Who's that?"
mdp.39015056725909	Who, for instance, was the master brain behind the, organisation?
mdp.39015056725909	Why at this time?
mdp.39015056725909	Why did you say you could n't come until night, when I gave you until to- day as the last day in which to settle?
mdp.39015056725909	Why do n't you ask for the whole of it?
mdp.39015056725909	Why not?
mdp.39015056725909	Why should I?
mdp.39015056725909	Why should her illusions be dispelled?
mdp.39015056725909	Why the Rainy River bridge?
mdp.39015056725909	Why this morning?
mdp.39015056725909	Why?
mdp.39015056725909	Wised you up, did he?
mdp.39015056725909	Wonder if there's another ripe little melon here go- ing to be shoved my way on a gold platter by the Butcher and his crowd?"
mdp.39015056725909	Wonder what 75 76 THE WIRE DEVILS Kirschell's got in his cash box that's so valuable?
mdp.39015056725909	Wonder what Mr. Isaac Kirschell's business is?"
mdp.39015056725909	You ai n't going to leave me out in the cold, are you?
mdp.39015056725909	You are satisfied that it is your tube of radium?"
mdp.39015056725909	You are sure — you are sure?
mdp.39015056725909	You do n't have to, do you?
mdp.39015056725909	You had to pull a story that any newspaper would jump at and feature, did n't you?
mdp.39015056725909	You see, Lanson, it's not so easy — eh?"
mdp.39015056725909	You were in an accident, then?"
mdp.39015056725909	You'd know almost instantly whether he was east or west, would n't you?
mdp.39015038676337	'Why, you're not Eugene Morley?' mdp.39015038676337 A very comforting sight for the well, would n't you say?"
mdp.39015038676337	A woman?
mdp.39015038676337	Am I to understand I am under a cross examina- tion?
mdp.39015038676337	And did you see how they all looked at us when we told them an airplane took off from the lake?
mdp.39015038676337	And the body was found day before yesterday?
mdp.39015038676337	And who knew that we had obatined this infor- mation?
mdp.39015038676337	And who was that hawk- faced fellow that kept snooping around the edge of the cellar all the time?
mdp.39015038676337	Anything else?
mdp.39015038676337	Anything you want to look at, Wilbur, before we mutilate these beautiful remains?
mdp.39015038676337	Are you hurt, Alice?
mdp.39015038676337	Are you talking, Jack, or is it the Coon Hollow?
mdp.39015038676337	Are your county officers O.K.?
mdp.39015038676337	But could you tell me where I might get a little good liquor?
mdp.39015038676337	But how did Morley get a burial certificate for Pierre LaVell-? mdp.39015038676337 But the attempt against our lives?
mdp.39015038676337	But the plates that identified Morley?
mdp.39015038676337	But what's it all about?
mdp.39015038676337	Coat buttons with shanks? mdp.39015038676337 Conceal what?
mdp.39015038676337	Could I have a few words with you concerning the case?
mdp.39015038676337	Definitely?
mdp.39015038676337	Did I understand you to say that you expected to learn something from watching me?
mdp.39015038676337	Did I? mdp.39015038676337 Did Morley have an abdominal operation at any time?"
mdp.39015038676337	Did Mrs. Morley crawl into that floor compartment and accidently burn up? mdp.39015038676337 Did it occur to you that he might have been killed — murdered — and that his body was placed in the cottage?
mdp.39015038676337	Did n't I tell you I'd pack up all of our important belongings?
mdp.39015038676337	Did n't you say they intended to bury Morley today?
mdp.39015038676337	Did she do that?
mdp.39015038676337	Did you find the key to the cottage in Morley's clothes?
mdp.39015038676337	Did you find the scars?
mdp.39015038676337	Did you learn any more?
mdp.39015038676337	Did you want to see any one of the brothers in particular?
mdp.39015038676337	Do n't you think we'd better let them rest in peace? mdp.39015038676337 Do you know anything about his financial con- dition?"
mdp.39015038676337	Do you know him? mdp.39015038676337 Do you know whether the patient wore dental plates?"
mdp.39015038676337	Do you mean to in- sinuate that I have lied? mdp.39015038676337 Do you think a woman would go to that cottage at a late hour of night carrying fifty thousand dollars?"
mdp.39015038676337	Do you think one of us deliberately shot my wife?
mdp.39015038676337	Does LaVell have to fit into this conspiracy?
mdp.39015038676337	Does n't it seem strange to you that Morley could operate with impunity over a long period of time without local protection?
mdp.39015038676337	Ever been any talk about LaVell and Mrs. Mor- ley?
mdp.39015038676337	For how long?
mdp.39015038676337	Gray? mdp.39015038676337 Had n't I better slip out and report this to the sheriff?"
mdp.39015038676337	Had n't it been inspected several times with the idea that Morley's body might be there?
mdp.39015038676337	Has any aquaplane ever landed on the lake since you took up residence here?
mdp.39015038676337	Have the doctors arrived yet?
mdp.39015038676337	Have you a glass, Wilbur?
mdp.39015038676337	Have you the gun?
mdp.39015038676337	Hello, is this you, Joe?
mdp.39015038676337	How are you going about it?
mdp.39015038676337	How do you get out there?
mdp.39015038676337	How do you know?
mdp.39015038676337	How in hell do I know with all these big news- papers givin'accident insurance policies with sub- scriptions? mdp.39015038676337 How is your snake collection?"
mdp.39015038676337	How much were the Scotts worth?
mdp.39015038676337	How's business, Felix?
mdp.39015038676337	How's that?
mdp.39015038676337	I am wondering if you have any recol- lection of burying a man by the name of Scott — Wil- liam Scott, of 1648 DeVon Place?
mdp.39015038676337	I do n't imagine any of the four will object to finger printing?
mdp.39015038676337	I suppose LaVell buys his caskets direct from Tully, does n't he?
mdp.39015038676337	I think I've heard you say you did not believe in coincidences?
mdp.39015038676337	If Mr. Morley had the only key, how did you and Mrs. Morley intend to enter the cottage?
mdp.39015038676337	If there was nothing seen at these examinations of the cottage prior to your discovery of the body, why was Mrs. Morley so afraid?
mdp.39015038676337	Is Mr. Fallows in?
mdp.39015038676337	Is n't it a fact that you are sort of a political czar in these parts?
mdp.39015038676337	Is n't there anyone around? mdp.39015038676337 Is that a button from Morley's blue serge suit?"
mdp.39015038676337	Is that nice?
mdp.39015038676337	Is that so? mdp.39015038676337 Is that you, Lyman?"
mdp.39015038676337	Is there anything I can do for you gentlemen?
mdp.39015038676337	It WHOSE FOOTPRINTS? mdp.39015038676337 It is juicy, is n't it?"
mdp.39015038676337	It would carry a corpse?
mdp.39015038676337	It's Coon Hollow, is n't it?
mdp.39015038676337	It's about four weeks since Morley disappeared?
mdp.39015038676337	It's about time for the autopsy, is n't it?
mdp.39015038676337	Just one more?
mdp.39015038676337	Just what can you tell me about the Morley case?
mdp.39015038676337	Just who would do that, most likely, knowing what you do?
mdp.39015038676337	May I see it?
mdp.39015038676337	May I see it?
mdp.39015038676337	Maybe I am jumpy, but when one gets that way what can one do?
mdp.39015038676337	Me? mdp.39015038676337 Meaning which?"
mdp.39015038676337	Oh, I ca n't, eh?
mdp.39015038676337	Oh, Morley had insurance?
mdp.39015038676337	Oh, the sheriff just happened along?
mdp.39015038676337	Oh, you're Lyman K. Wilbur, eh?
mdp.39015038676337	Oh, you're accusing me of murder, eh?
mdp.39015038676337	One of yours? ” said Jack. mdp.39015038676337 Say, are you guys going to town?"
mdp.39015038676337	Say, what in the world is the matter with you? mdp.39015038676337 Say, what kind of a dumb dick do you think I am?"
mdp.39015038676337	Take them off?
mdp.39015038676337	That's rather strange, too, do n't you think?
mdp.39015038676337	The aviator?
mdp.39015038676337	The cottage, you say, had been unoccupied?
mdp.39015038676337	The powder you mean?
mdp.39015038676337	There are no others whom you recall?
mdp.39015038676337	They are alike, are n't they?
mdp.39015038676337	They're not liable to be mixed up in a liquor racket?
mdp.39015038676337	This Ambrose Fallows would do such a thing, you think?
mdp.39015038676337	This is the way it was when you found it?
mdp.39015038676337	Was n't he in the hole pretty much a couple of years ago?
mdp.39015038676337	Well, are we going to get a lift into town or will we have to call a car?
mdp.39015038676337	Well, how about a little Coon Hollow for a change?
mdp.39015038676337	Well, how are you going to prove which it was?
mdp.39015038676337	Well, how on earth do you happen to be here and how did you learn of my arrival?
mdp.39015038676337	Well, if you know so much about it, why ask me?
mdp.39015038676337	Well, what might have been going on in the cellar?
mdp.39015038676337	Were the doors locked?
mdp.39015038676337	Were you surprised when you found out we were here?
mdp.39015038676337	Whafs the idea, Alice?
mdp.39015038676337	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015038676337	What became of Pierre LaVell and what was his connection?
mdp.39015038676337	What can I do for you gentlemen?
mdp.39015038676337	What can I do for you? mdp.39015038676337 What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015038676337	What caused it?
mdp.39015038676337	What could the space contain that it would be necessary to hide?
mdp.39015038676337	What did you do with the clothing you took off?
mdp.39015038676337	What did you expect the undertaker would use? mdp.39015038676337 What do you make of that, Jack?"
mdp.39015038676337	What do you suggest that we do?
mdp.39015038676337	What do you think?
mdp.39015038676337	What else?
mdp.39015038676337	What is it all about?
mdp.39015038676337	What is it?
mdp.39015038676337	What is your idea?
mdp.39015038676337	What the?
mdp.39015038676337	What was she afraid of?
mdp.39015038676337	What was the occasion of this discovery?
mdp.39015038676337	What'll we do?
mdp.39015038676337	What's a doctor's office got to do with it?
mdp.39015038676337	What's purring?
mdp.39015038676337	What's strange about that?
mdp.39015038676337	What's the big idea? mdp.39015038676337 What's the dope?"
mdp.39015038676337	What's the next move?
mdp.39015038676337	What's the theory, Lyman? mdp.39015038676337 What's your idea about it, Joe?"
mdp.39015038676337	What's your idea of his connection with the Morley case?
mdp.39015038676337	What? mdp.39015038676337 What?"
mdp.39015038676337	Where are the guns, Jack?
mdp.39015038676337	Where did you burn it?
mdp.39015038676337	Where do you suppose? mdp.39015038676337 Where is the money?
mdp.39015038676337	Where is this liquor?
mdp.39015038676337	Where on earth have you been? mdp.39015038676337 Where's all the booze comin'from?"
mdp.39015038676337	Where's the undertaker? mdp.39015038676337 Which one?"
mdp.39015038676337	Which spells?
mdp.39015038676337	Whiskey or coffee?
mdp.39015038676337	Who can it be?
mdp.39015038676337	Who did it and why? mdp.39015038676337 Who done it?"
mdp.39015038676337	Who else?
mdp.39015038676337	Who said he had a gray suit on?
mdp.39015038676337	Who said you did? mdp.39015038676337 Who was it?"
mdp.39015038676337	Who was that?
mdp.39015038676337	Who's that?
mdp.39015038676337	Who's there?
mdp.39015038676337	Why not try the hospitals?
mdp.39015038676337	Why not?
mdp.39015038676337	Why not?
mdp.39015038676337	Why separate him? mdp.39015038676337 Why should a lake cottage be built with a double floor?
mdp.39015038676337	Why was n't this done when the body was there? mdp.39015038676337 Why?"
mdp.39015038676337	Will he be engaged long?
mdp.39015038676337	Will your records show where this patient came from?
mdp.39015038676337	Wo n't you sit down, gentlemen?
mdp.39015038676337	Wonder why he did n't bother to see what we were doing in the tunnel?
mdp.39015038676337	Would you care to dance, Miss Fallows?
mdp.39015038676337	Would you have another drink of Coon Hollow?
mdp.39015038676337	Would you like a little highball? mdp.39015038676337 Would you recognize a photograph of the pa- tient?"
mdp.39015038676337	Would you say that was genuine or a clever fake?
mdp.39015038676337	You are certain, however, of an irritant poison?
mdp.39015038676337	You are not anticipating any more lady slip- pers?
mdp.39015038676337	You can't — you do n't mean that Alice?
mdp.39015038676337	You did n't han- dle it?
mdp.39015038676337	You did n't see where her finger was missing when she examined the glove, did you? ” Jack asked Wilbur. mdp.39015038676337 You do n't know anything more concerning Mor- ley — anything which might aid me in this case?"
mdp.39015038676337	You do n't think you could have given Mrs. Morley that pair of shoes by mistake?
mdp.39015038676337	You mean Fallows and Tully?
mdp.39015038676337	You mean ladies'shoes, earrings, and what have you? mdp.39015038676337 You notice the sand, do n't you?"
mdp.39015038676337	You say that Mr. Morley wore a blue serge suit the day he disappeared?
mdp.39015038676337	You see it, eh?
mdp.39015038676337	You still believe it is murder?
mdp.39015038676337	You think Morley may have been involved in the illegal liquor traffic?
mdp.39015038676337	You would n't know where I could get some Coon Hollow?
mdp.39015038676337	You'd think she'd tidy this joint up a bit, would n't you?
mdp.39015038676337	You're very intimate with Mr. Tully, are n't you?
mdp.39015038676337	coon hollow103"It picked up in rather a startling fashion, did n't it?"
mdp.39015038676337	'They're not grains of Ballistite powder?"
mdp.39015038676337	108 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE"It's a great deal better than it was a couple of years ago?"
mdp.39015038676337	132 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE “ Oh say, did you bring the Coon Hollow?"
mdp.39015038676337	230 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE"Who shall I say is calling?"
mdp.39015038676337	24 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE"Mrs. Morley was the beneficiary?"
mdp.39015038676337	76 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE “ What's your idea?"
mdp.39015038676337	88 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE"Rather strange that?"
mdp.39015038676337	98 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE"Who was that?"
mdp.39015038676337	A Mrs. Haughton. ” “ Now they're gone and you're sure she did not get them? ” “ Oh no, she did n't get dem.
mdp.39015038676337	A nice suit?
mdp.39015038676337	Alcohol?"
mdp.39015038676337	And 196 THE SECRET OF THE MORGUE why did he object to the post mortems so strenuously when we actually found so little?
mdp.39015038676337	And now is there anything else that we want to do before returning to the cottage?"
mdp.39015038676337	And what might these two men have been carrying?"
mdp.39015038676337	And where did it come from?"
mdp.39015038676337	And where has LaVell gone?
mdp.39015038676337	And why should he?
mdp.39015038676337	And you say the Morleys had no other living relative? ”"None whatever. ” “ Hum!
mdp.39015038676337	Any finger prints on it?"
mdp.39015038676337	Any other woman who might be mixed up in the case?"
mdp.39015038676337	Are these your earrings?"
mdp.39015038676337	Are you ready?"
mdp.39015038676337	At Summitville — Cashier of the Citizens Trust?
mdp.39015038676337	Between the flooring along the far wall WHOSE FOOTPRINTS?
mdp.39015038676337	But getting back to the Morley case, what about the gun?
mdp.39015038676337	But honest, Lyman, what is the low- down?"
mdp.39015038676337	But how are we going to get it out?
mdp.39015038676337	But they may have the nationality as well as the name. ” “ What's the trouble?"
mdp.39015038676337	But what can I do for you?"
mdp.39015038676337	But who killed him?"
mdp.39015038676337	But who would do it?"
mdp.39015038676337	But why should n't bootlegging flourish in a community where they can get away with murder?
mdp.39015038676337	But why two floors?"
mdp.39015038676337	D'you think there's an embargo on?
mdp.39015038676337	Did n't the coroner burn Morley's clothes when he found the body?
mdp.39015038676337	Did n't you say that you remem- bered it clearly?"
mdp.39015038676337	Did she know too much?
mdp.39015038676337	Did you ever know that Eugene Morley was interested in the traffic of illegal liquor?"
mdp.39015038676337	Did you make a blue serge suit of clothes for Mr. Morley the coat buttons of which had shanks instead of eyes?"
mdp.39015038676337	Did you tell me that or did I read it in the paper?"
mdp.39015038676337	Do you mean to infer that I am in collusion with a murderer?
mdp.39015038676337	Do you recall the color of the suit Morley wore the day he disappeared?"
mdp.39015038676337	Do you see why it may be valuable?"
mdp.39015038676337	Do you suppose it might be Fallows, or Tully, or both?
mdp.39015038676337	Do you understand me?"
mdp.39015038676337	Does she resemble anyone you know?
mdp.39015038676337	Fallows?"
mdp.39015038676337	Furthermore why should he keep it out here instead of in town at his residence if it was his private stock?
mdp.39015038676337	Gosh all hemlock, how do you guys look at dead ones all the time?"
mdp.39015038676337	Gott und Himmel, what's the use?
mdp.39015038676337	Haughton?"
mdp.39015038676337	Have you any idea where it was?"
mdp.39015038676337	Have you changed your mind about the Prairie River bridge, or do you still think that con- tractor is nursing his grudge?"
mdp.39015038676337	He seated himself and then asked,"And now of what service can I be to you?"
mdp.39015038676337	He strolled about the boathouse and examined the WHOSE FOOTPRINTS?
mdp.39015038676337	How do you explain the death of Mrs. Morley and the disappearance of the insurance money?"
mdp.39015038676337	How far is it to the lake now?"
mdp.39015038676337	How is she?
mdp.39015038676337	How is the stuff?"
mdp.39015038676337	How large is the ship?"
mdp.39015038676337	How long might a button remain in a person?"
mdp.39015038676337	How should I know anything?"
mdp.39015038676337	How would a man get to a cottage on Ramona Lake as ill as Morley without help?
mdp.39015038676337	How's yours, Carter?"
mdp.39015038676337	I do n't remember but a lady brought dem in dat's living in a cottage on Ramona Lake. ” “ A Mrs. Haughton? ” Wilbur suggested.
mdp.39015038676337	I suppose you are acquainted with the salient facts?"
mdp.39015038676337	III WHOSE FOOTPRINTS?
mdp.39015038676337	If he were behind this whole affair and knew that the autopsies could reveal no more than they did, why did he object?
mdp.39015038676337	If she did what did her knowledge concern?
mdp.39015038676337	If she was killed why was she killed?
mdp.39015038676337	If so, why was she trying to burn up the cottage?
mdp.39015038676337	If someone did bring him there why are they silent?"
mdp.39015038676337	If there has n't been foul play why are so many people evasive?
mdp.39015038676337	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015038676337	Is that likely?"
mdp.39015038676337	It is lawless to steal a watermelon from a farmer's patch, yet who is there that denies the pleasure of a melon obtained in that manner?
mdp.39015038676337	It may be thirty miles to Summitville this way since the bridge is out but what matter?
mdp.39015038676337	It sounds plausible, does n't it?"
mdp.39015038676337	It was n't blue?"
mdp.39015038676337	Let me go?"
mdp.39015038676337	Me?"
mdp.39015038676337	Might Morley have furnished the funds?
mdp.39015038676337	Might a demand of his for a return of that money have caused his associates to kill him?
mdp.39015038676337	Might he not have known that his appro- priation was about to be discovered?
mdp.39015038676337	Morley was n't expecting to make much of a haul, was he?"
mdp.39015038676337	Morley's death?
mdp.39015038676337	Morley?"
mdp.39015038676337	Morley?"
mdp.39015038676337	Morley?"
mdp.39015038676337	Morley?"
mdp.39015038676337	Mrs. Morley's death?
mdp.39015038676337	Now what have we discov- ered that points to the murder theory the strongest?"
mdp.39015038676337	Now, does that clear up everything?"
mdp.39015038676337	Oh, by the way did you tell Alice about the peculiar glove?"
mdp.39015038676337	One thing more: has the body been buried?"
mdp.39015038676337	Or was he mistaken?
mdp.39015038676337	Or was she killed and her body placed there by other hands?
mdp.39015038676337	Or what have you?"
mdp.39015038676337	Rodney?"
mdp.39015038676337	Scott?"
mdp.39015038676337	Shall we pry the lid?"
mdp.39015038676337	Since you have been so zealous to run down the ownership of the Morley cottage, did you learn who tried to kill us?
mdp.39015038676337	Suppose the doctor really knew?"
mdp.39015038676337	The Chicago method is much better, do n't you think?—where they give you a sieve- like expression?"
mdp.39015038676337	The casket business is very good, is n't it?"
mdp.39015038676337	The coroner and others have probably destroyed anything which an inspection of the cot- tage would reveal?"
mdp.39015038676337	The liquor business?
mdp.39015038676337	Those prints were fresh, but You have n't been about the Morley cottage lately, Alice?"
mdp.39015038676337	Tully?"
mdp.39015038676337	Turning to Jack, Wilbur asked:"Where's your deed, Jack?"
mdp.39015038676337	Turning to Wilbur he added,"You're not on the wagon?"
mdp.39015038676337	Turning to Wilbur he addressed him directly,"There's nothing further that I can do for you, is there?"
mdp.39015038676337	Turning to the boy called Blondie, Loomis asked:"You'll run us in, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015038676337	Two hundred thousand gone and no trace of it?—Looks like an inside job?
mdp.39015038676337	WHOSE FOOTPRINTS?
mdp.39015038676337	WHOSE FOOTPRINTS?
mdp.39015038676337	Was it bootlegging, absconding, or something else?
mdp.39015038676337	Was it the shank buttons with the blue serve covering?
mdp.39015038676337	Was it the whiskey cache and the underground tunnel?"
mdp.39015038676337	Were they taken?"
mdp.39015038676337	What about the liquor racket?"
mdp.39015038676337	What about their impressions?
mdp.39015038676337	What d'you want on the'burgers — catsup or onion?"
mdp.39015038676337	What does that mean, an aquaplane taking off at this hour in the morning under a cloak of darkness?
mdp.39015038676337	What is false?
mdp.39015038676337	What is the lowdown on this affair?"
mdp.39015038676337	What is your hobby now?"
mdp.39015038676337	What might be going on in anybody's basement in these days of prohibition?
mdp.39015038676337	What of it?"
mdp.39015038676337	What secrets of the morgue are disclosed?
mdp.39015038676337	What was it?
mdp.39015038676337	What was the reason for the double floor?
mdp.39015038676337	What's it about?
mdp.39015038676337	What's that?"
mdp.39015038676337	What's the idea?"
mdp.39015038676337	When the lips are silent what good can we possibly do anyhow?"
mdp.39015038676337	When were you down there?"
mdp.39015038676337	Where is LaVell?
mdp.39015038676337	Where is most of the repair work done?"
mdp.39015038676337	Where is the corpse?"
mdp.39015038676337	Where's your baggage?"
mdp.39015038676337	Which one is most likely to connect Morley's murder with that of his wife?
mdp.39015038676337	Who did the shooting?"
mdp.39015038676337	Who owns the boathouse?"
mdp.39015038676337	Who was in this illegal business with Morley?
mdp.39015038676337	Who would n't under the circumstances?
mdp.39015038676337	Who'd have ever thought you and I would get to- gether in this neck of the woods?
mdp.39015038676337	Who's wearing them?
mdp.39015038676337	Whom has your wife been intimate enough with — to the extent that they could ascertain the fact that she wears her shoes off as she does?"
mdp.39015038676337	Whose corpse?"
mdp.39015038676337	Why a double floor like that in any place?
mdp.39015038676337	Why did he disappear?
mdp.39015038676337	Why did he go?"
mdp.39015038676337	Why did they not want to have an autopsy?"
mdp.39015038676337	Why have some people at- tempted Haughton's life, his wife's and mine?
mdp.39015038676337	Why not have it appear that you made the footprints of his wife?
mdp.39015038676337	Why not?
mdp.39015038676337	Why was she killed?
mdp.39015038676337	Wilbur?"
mdp.39015038676337	Wilbur?"
mdp.39015038676337	Wo n't you sit down and wait?"
mdp.39015038676337	Wo n't you sit down?"
mdp.39015038676337	Would anyone bring him there in such a condition and leave him?
mdp.39015038676337	Would you take a little nip of some good liquor with me, Mr. Fallows — just so we'll feel sociable?"
mdp.39015038676337	You are sure no one has broken into your cottage and stolen a pair of your shoes?"
mdp.39015038676337	You do n't suppose he did commit suicide to end his suffering?"
mdp.39015038676337	You do n't suppose she's got anything planted on this road?
mdp.39015038676337	You get my idea?"
mdp.39015038676337	You have a morgue suit- able?"
mdp.39015038676337	You never flew with your husband?"
mdp.39015038676337	You think he's gone?"
mdp.39015038676337	You told the sheriff to bring that over sure, did n't you?"
mdp.39015038676337	You wanted to talk to me about the seaplane, I suppose?
mdp.39015038676337	You've a wonderful new home, have n't you — a Rolls- Royce and independence now?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ Any luck?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ Are you sure that's your glove?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ Did I understand you to say that you were burying Mrs. Scott's brother to- morrow?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ Did you ever see this glove before? ” Wilbur took the glove which he had picked up at Baker's Landing from his pocket and handed it to her.
mdp.39015038676337	“ Did you try the bell hop out? ” “ You bet!
mdp.39015038676337	“ Do any of you know who owns the boat house at Baker's Landing?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ How's the casket business?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ I surely did n't. ”"Well, you never will in the ordinary course of WHOSE FOOTPRINTS?
mdp.39015038676337	“ Sew that body up?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ Should I proceed any further, Mr. Wilbur? ” asked LeClair.
mdp.39015038676337	“ Suppose de lady comes for de shoes? ”"She wo n't, Herman.
mdp.39015038676337	“ What ailed the brother? ”"Ptomaine poisoning.
mdp.39015038676337	“ Where'd you find it?"
mdp.39015038676337	“ Whose shoes were they? ” “ De name was on de shoes.
mdp.39015024198718	Age?
mdp.39015024198718	All in good time —"Get out of my room, d'ye hear?
mdp.39015024198718	Am I talking your head off, my dear, and never permitting you to get a word in edgewise? mdp.39015024198718 Am I?"
mdp.39015024198718	And do you remember?
mdp.39015024198718	And do you think that shall stop you or prevent me from having you, when I've set my heart on it?
mdp.39015024198718	And how, pray, did all this come about?
mdp.39015024198718	And the rest of the things — your rugs?
mdp.39015024198718	And there'll be danger —?
mdp.39015024198718	And what if it is?
mdp.39015024198718	And why was that so distinctly understood, please?
mdp.39015024198718	And why yourself?
mdp.39015024198718	And you did n't, really?
mdp.39015024198718	And you do n't think you could take her back?
mdp.39015024198718	And you have that much confidence in me?
mdp.39015024198718	And you hold me responsible, sehorita? mdp.39015024198718 And your middle name — how do you spell it?"
mdp.39015024198718	And your sources of information?
mdp.39015024198718	And —?
mdp.39015024198718	Another?
mdp.39015024198718	Anything you'd like me to get you, miss?
mdp.39015024198718	Are we in danger, then —?
mdp.39015024198718	Are you going to desert?
mdp.39015024198718	Are you going to the dogs on my account, Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	Are you sure, Bruce? mdp.39015024198718 Are you sure?"
mdp.39015024198718	At least, she's in no immediate danger?
mdp.39015024198718	Bad?
mdp.39015024198718	Bruce, are you there?
mdp.39015024198718	Bruce, has anything hap- pened? mdp.39015024198718 Bruce,"Cynthia's voice sounded again through the shadows,"you're not angry with me?"
mdp.39015024198718	Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	But I assure you —He was interrupted by a voice from below — Claret's, lifted impatiently:"I say, Perez, what'll we do with this pig?
mdp.39015024198718	But are you?
mdp.39015024198718	But could anything be worse than this?
mdp.39015024198718	But how have I deceived you? mdp.39015024198718 But how, miss?"
mdp.39015024198718	But unarmed?
mdp.39015024198718	But why back?
mdp.39015024198718	But why did n't you wake me?
mdp.39015024198718	But why do you want her, rather than anybody who might chance to see that advertisement, to get the situation?
mdp.39015024198718	But why should they? mdp.39015024198718 But why —?"
mdp.39015024198718	But why —?
mdp.39015024198718	But why?
mdp.39015024198718	But you wo n't mind using her as you would a stewardess, in such matters as your baths and so forth, will you? mdp.39015024198718 But you've accepted, have n't you?"
mdp.39015024198718	But you? mdp.39015024198718 But, Madame,"stammered Cynthia,"is it true — about the jewels?"
mdp.39015024198718	By the way, have you seen him this morning?
mdp.39015024198718	Ca n't you make 222 CYNTHIA- OF- THE- MINUTE it six?
mdp.39015024198718	Can — can nothing be done for him?
mdp.39015024198718	Careful? mdp.39015024198718 Come here, please — to the light,"said Madame in her most impressive manner; and when Cynthia had complied:"You wished to see me?"
mdp.39015024198718	Crittenden — that you?
mdp.39015024198718	Dear me, is it really as bad as that? mdp.39015024198718 Dispossess notice — what?"
mdp.39015024198718	Do n't you care?
mdp.39015024198718	Do n't you know?
mdp.39015024198718	Do n't you think it likely?
mdp.39015024198718	Do n't you wonder why I ask?
mdp.39015024198718	Do you mean it's really a promising opening for you?
mdp.39015024198718	Do you mean me to understand you gave in on my account alone?
mdp.39015024198718	Do you mind giving me a bill of particulars? mdp.39015024198718 Does n't the same argument apply to Perez?
mdp.39015024198718	Engaged? mdp.39015024198718 From what, Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	Goin'downtown, I suppose?
mdp.39015024198718	Got a gun?
mdp.39015024198718	Hand it to you —?
mdp.39015024198718	Has he been talking, do you know?
mdp.39015024198718	Has he seen us?
mdp.39015024198718	Have you any resources?
mdp.39015024198718	He's been talking to you about this business?
mdp.39015024198718	Health good?
mdp.39015024198718	Honest?
mdp.39015024198718	How dare you judge him?
mdp.39015024198718	How did you get in here?
mdp.39015024198718	How do you know that?
mdp.39015024198718	How do you know?
mdp.39015024198718	How does it strike you?
mdp.39015024198718	How is he?
mdp.39015024198718	How long have you known this?
mdp.39015024198718	How —?
mdp.39015024198718	How's this, now?
mdp.39015024198718	Huh?
mdp.39015024198718	I did n't value you highly enough, you think?
mdp.39015024198718	I presume you mean I ought to let you take care of my jewels?
mdp.39015024198718	I presume you're after something —?
mdp.39015024198718	I wonder?
mdp.39015024198718	I'm sure I do n't know —"Is he the dramatist?
mdp.39015024198718	I?
mdp.39015024198718	If I'd known that —"What?
mdp.39015024198718	If Miss Grayce is quite ready —?
mdp.39015024198718	If you please, ma'm,came a voice, subdued but eager,"it's I — the steward, Acklin, ma'm —""What do you want?"
mdp.39015024198718	In full? mdp.39015024198718 Indeed?"
mdp.39015024198718	Indeed?
mdp.39015024198718	Indeed?
mdp.39015024198718	Is it — is n't it —?
mdp.39015024198718	Is it?
mdp.39015024198718	Is n't it true?
mdp.39015024198718	Is n't it?
mdp.39015024198718	Is she living, Madame — your daughter?
mdp.39015024198718	Is that a bargain?
mdp.39015024198718	Is that all?
mdp.39015024198718	Is that all?
mdp.39015024198718	Is that impudence, Mr. Perez?
mdp.39015024198718	Is that the only reason you have for be- lieving his intention to be dishonest?
mdp.39015024198718	Is there any reason why we should n't be overheard?
mdp.39015024198718	Is there any- thing else you need to know?
mdp.39015024198718	Is this normal — does it go on this way all the time?
mdp.39015024198718	It's not much trouble — is it, miss? mdp.39015024198718 Joke —""Whom have you told about it?
mdp.39015024198718	Just like that, huh? mdp.39015024198718 Just the same,"she said with sly malice,"you were confident it would be relieved, sooner or later — were n't you?"
mdp.39015024198718	Just what kind of a job, precisely?
mdp.39015024198718	Listen — was that true about the women?
mdp.39015024198718	Madame Savaran said you had something to tell me?
mdp.39015024198718	Madame Savaran?
mdp.39015024198718	Madame called?
mdp.39015024198718	Madame?
mdp.39015024198718	Madame?
mdp.39015024198718	Married or single?
mdp.39015024198718	May I be privileged to assist the bravest lady I ever had the honour of meeting?
mdp.39015024198718	May I suggest this is hardly a scene for your eyes, senorita?
mdp.39015024198718	Meaning you've gone too far to draw back?
mdp.39015024198718	Meaning, I presume, you were a fool to marry me, Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	Meaning, if I am telling the truth?
mdp.39015024198718	Miss Gr'yce, sir?
mdp.39015024198718	Miss Grayce —?
mdp.39015024198718	My dear child, do you really need that light? mdp.39015024198718 Name, please?"
mdp.39015024198718	Never studied no trade or profession at all?
mdp.39015024198718	No friends to turn to?
mdp.39015024198718	No one else you can trust?
mdp.39015024198718	No one else?
mdp.39015024198718	None you care to speak about, huh?
mdp.39015024198718	Occupation?
mdp.39015024198718	Oh, so we are interested in the fate of the gentleman who's nothing to us, eh? mdp.39015024198718 On you?"
mdp.39015024198718	Or a romance in the making, eh?
mdp.39015024198718	Perhaps,Crittenden suggested,"you'd like me to go away for a few minutes?"
mdp.39015024198718	Presumably you ca n't suggest anything sane, George Rhode?
mdp.39015024198718	She's in'er styteroom, syfe?
mdp.39015024198718	Sounds like what?
mdp.39015024198718	Surely Serior Perez —?
mdp.39015024198718	Swim, miss — you?
mdp.39015024198718	That girl,he demanded —"what d'you know about her?"
mdp.39015024198718	That is n't all you wanted to know, my dear?
mdp.39015024198718	That was the Red Man with you, was n't it?
mdp.39015024198718	That'd help a lot — would n't it? mdp.39015024198718 That's right, huh?"
mdp.39015024198718	The Cydonia, you mean?
mdp.39015024198718	The steamer,Cynthia pleaded in a breath —"you say we must be on board to- night — what steamer?
mdp.39015024198718	Then suppose you go a step farther and tell me what this is all about?
mdp.39015024198718	Then what is the truth?
mdp.39015024198718	Then you do n't mean to publish —?
mdp.39015024198718	Then you may never lunch at Suzanne's again, you think?
mdp.39015024198718	Then you think,she said in a low voice,"that matters may become so — so complicated that the women on board might need protection?"
mdp.39015024198718	Then you, 15 6 CYNTHIA- OF- THE- MINUTE too, really think there's something under the surface —?
mdp.39015024198718	Then,the girl said, wondering, hurt and hesi- tant —"then, since you love me, why —?"
mdp.39015024198718	There's a paper on your door — did you see it?
mdp.39015024198718	They had you locked up, did n't they, after you butted into that row with Rhode?
mdp.39015024198718	This is n't a trick?
mdp.39015024198718	This is yours?
mdp.39015024198718	Thurlow? mdp.39015024198718 Tired?"
mdp.39015024198718	To get what?
mdp.39015024198718	To try to buy me back, Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	True? mdp.39015024198718 Truly?"
mdp.39015024198718	Under lock and key — that's my motto where she's con- WHO KNOWS? mdp.39015024198718 Very badly...""Bad enough to take most anythin'?"
mdp.39015024198718	Want to marry her, of course?
mdp.39015024198718	Was I? mdp.39015024198718 We will miss our boat...?"
mdp.39015024198718	Well, Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	Well, because I —?
mdp.39015024198718	Well, my dear?
mdp.39015024198718	Well, then, the man with you: who was he?
mdp.39015024198718	Well,she said harshly,"you've got your eyes open now, have n't you?"
mdp.39015024198718	Well... we got ta have a purser —"On the Cynthia, late Cydonia? mdp.39015024198718 Well?"
mdp.39015024198718	Well?
mdp.39015024198718	Well?
mdp.39015024198718	Well?
mdp.39015024198718	Well?
mdp.39015024198718	Wha- what do you mean?
mdp.39015024198718	What are you doing there, Acklin?
mdp.39015024198718	What do you want?
mdp.39015024198718	What do you want?
mdp.39015024198718	What do you want?
mdp.39015024198718	What do you want?
mdp.39015024198718	What do you want?
mdp.39015024198718	What is it about? mdp.39015024198718 What is it?"
mdp.39015024198718	What is it?
mdp.39015024198718	What is it?
mdp.39015024198718	What is it?
mdp.39015024198718	What makes you so concerned to protect me and my jewels, if you please?
mdp.39015024198718	What signature did it have? mdp.39015024198718 What would you think, if you were I?"
mdp.39015024198718	What'd I tell you?
mdp.39015024198718	What's become of your desk?
mdp.39015024198718	What's he been tellin'you about it?
mdp.39015024198718	What's his first name?
mdp.39015024198718	What's she up to now?
mdp.39015024198718	What's that compared with the advantage of setting his inventive brain to work on your behalf? mdp.39015024198718 What's that you say?
mdp.39015024198718	What's that?
mdp.39015024198718	What's the matter?
mdp.39015024198718	What's this?
mdp.39015024198718	What's this?
mdp.39015024198718	What's your interest in Madame Savaran?
mdp.39015024198718	What's your interest in our side of this business, Acklin?
mdp.39015024198718	What,queried Madame Savaran —"what precisely is your understanding of your duties, should I engage you?"
mdp.39015024198718	What,she purred gently —"what if I had come to tell you I'd found out my mistake, Bruce?"
mdp.39015024198718	What,she went on in her silken accents,"if I wanted you to take me back?"
mdp.39015024198718	What? mdp.39015024198718 Whatever shall I do?"
mdp.39015024198718	Where is he?
mdp.39015024198718	Where is that pawn- ticket, Sidonie?
mdp.39015024198718	Whereas a true British accent is a rare thing — and precious one?
mdp.39015024198718	Which?
mdp.39015024198718	Who sent you here?
mdp.39015024198718	Who sent you?
mdp.39015024198718	Who told you about the advertisement I had in mind? mdp.39015024198718 Who — me?
mdp.39015024198718	Who's that with you?
mdp.39015024198718	Who's there?
mdp.39015024198718	Who've you got in there, anyway?
mdp.39015024198718	Why are you so concerned for us, rather than for the side of the biggest guns?
mdp.39015024198718	Why are you still there? mdp.39015024198718 Why do n't we wait here?"
mdp.39015024198718	Why have/ done that? mdp.39015024198718 Why not ask Madame Savaran?"
mdp.39015024198718	Why not dramatise this harrow- ing story you've been telling me? mdp.39015024198718 Why not rest?"
mdp.39015024198718	Why not s- u- l- a?
mdp.39015024198718	Why not? mdp.39015024198718 Why not?
mdp.39015024198718	Why'too'?
mdp.39015024198718	Why,she persisted, with a tremor in her voice, —"why did he stay when you returned?"
mdp.39015024198718	Why,she said, her voice hard, —"why did you do that?"
mdp.39015024198718	Why?
mdp.39015024198718	Will he never come?
mdp.39015024198718	Will you be coherent or do you want me to turn you out of this stateroom?
mdp.39015024198718	Wo n't you come in?
mdp.39015024198718	Wo n't you sit down?
mdp.39015024198718	Worse than you anticipated?
mdp.39015024198718	Would it annoy you,he said,"to have me walk with you as far as Fifth Avenue — if you go that way?
mdp.39015024198718	Yes —?
mdp.39015024198718	Yes —?
mdp.39015024198718	Yes, my dear?
mdp.39015024198718	Yes?
mdp.39015024198718	Yes?
mdp.39015024198718	You admit it? mdp.39015024198718 You believe in your lucky star, then?"
mdp.39015024198718	You ca n't forget that engraved invitation to come to our party that I sent you by special messen- ger, can you?
mdp.39015024198718	You discharged your husband, Madame?
mdp.39015024198718	You do n't mean —? mdp.39015024198718 You do n't mind telling me —?"
mdp.39015024198718	You do n't mind?
mdp.39015024198718	You do, really,the girl pursued, a little timidly,"invent occupations?"
mdp.39015024198718	You have n't been long in this country, have you?
mdp.39015024198718	You have n't forgotten how to be melodramatic, have you, Bruce?
mdp.39015024198718	You have the ticket, I presume?
mdp.39015024198718	You in any rush to get home?
mdp.39015024198718	You just got ta know the worst all at once, have n't you?
mdp.39015024198718	You knew her?
mdp.39015024198718	You leave New York?
mdp.39015024198718	You mean you're committed to loyalty to — them?
mdp.39015024198718	You really think so?
mdp.39015024198718	You really want work, now?
mdp.39015024198718	You said that was all, miss?
mdp.39015024198718	You saw all that in the advertisement?
mdp.39015024198718	You think so? mdp.39015024198718 You understand,"said Crittenden, controlling his voice with difficulty,"what this means to me — what I am to infer from what you've told me?"
mdp.39015024198718	You will be able to find your way back all right?
mdp.39015024198718	You will be seated —?
mdp.39015024198718	You will? mdp.39015024198718 You wo n't be long, miss?"
mdp.39015024198718	You wo n't mind —?
mdp.39015024198718	You would n't think so, would you?
mdp.39015024198718	You would n't, huh? mdp.39015024198718 You'll try it on, then?"
mdp.39015024198718	You're kinda all in about Miss Cynthia, ai n't you?
mdp.39015024198718	You've been ashore?
mdp.39015024198718	You've worked on the big boats — the Trans- atlantic steamers — then?
mdp.39015024198718	Your name, please?
mdp.39015024198718	Your trunk is packed, Sidonie?
mdp.39015024198718	*'May I ask just what you learned about me?"
mdp.39015024198718	, WHO KNOWS?
mdp.39015024198718	,"You've found something to do?"
mdp.39015024198718	..."Child,"she said with a hint of ready arms and a bosom warm with comfort,"is there anything I can do for you?"
mdp.39015024198718	178 CYNTHIA- OF- THE- MINUTE"Why did you ship such a rabble?
mdp.39015024198718	250 CYNTHIA- OF- THE- MINUTE were you talking to?"
mdp.39015024198718	76 CYNTHIA- OF- THE- MINUTE"Who was she?"
mdp.39015024198718	?
mdp.39015024198718	?"
mdp.39015024198718	And by the way, what about your young man?"
mdp.39015024198718	And how did it happen?
mdp.39015024198718	And my stake?
mdp.39015024198718	And not only that, but what's he doing in this galley if he's an honest man?
mdp.39015024198718	And so you'll renege on your bargain, throw down your partner, abandon your filthy plot — will you?
mdp.39015024198718	And then where'll your blessed fifteen thousand be?
mdp.39015024198718	And what was convention to such as they, hapless wanderers astray in the baffling maze of things?
mdp.39015024198718	And where is she going?"
mdp.39015024198718	And why not?
mdp.39015024198718	Angry with you?

mdp.39015024198718	But after a moment coloured by the Red Man's air of gentle melancholy, he saw fit to inquire:"And Madame Savaran?"
mdp.39015024198718	But since it had to come, is it any worse coming to- night than to- morrow?
mdp.39015024198718	But what's the use?

mdp.39015024198718	Crittenden, whose interest was nowhere else, was moved to inquire:"Why the frown?"

mdp.39015024198718	Did you notice that he never returned?"
mdp.39015024198718	Did you really think of ASHES 71 killing me?

mdp.39015024198718	Do you believe her story?"
mdp.39015024198718	Do you blame me for feeling exasperation?"

mdp.39015024198718	How is one to dream creations with a pig of the gutter like that at one's elbow?

mdp.39015024198718	Huh?"
mdp.39015024198718	I guess you've got an idea I go stumbling around with my eyes shut, just because I happened to speak to you without a letter of introduction?"
mdp.39015024198718	I have no way of thanking you but by my appreciation — but is it too much to ask you for a further kindness, a word of advice?"
mdp.39015024198718	I just found it out, and —""What on earth are you raving about, George Rhode?"
mdp.39015024198718	I was afraid at first there might be —"What?"

mdp.39015024198718	Is Tommy already beginning to be bored by your temper?
mdp.39015024198718	Is it a bar- gain?"
mdp.39015024198718	Is it my part to interfere with Senor Rhode's quarrels?"
mdp.39015024198718	Is n't that true?"
mdp.39015024198718	Is that agreed?"
mdp.39015024198718	Is that what you hunted me up for — to raise a row and rant and rage?
mdp.39015024198718	It must be terrible —""What must be terrible?"

mdp.39015024198718	May I hope my assurance that she, at least, has nothing to fear, will serve to comfort her?"
mdp.39015024198718	Not a word, not a sign of encouragement to offer the erring spouse?
mdp.39015024198718	Not seriously, George?"
mdp.39015024198718	Now tell me more of yourself?"
mdp.39015024198718	Now,"she shifted abruptly,"who was that good- looking young fellow you bowed to?"

mdp.39015024198718	Or do n't you know?"
mdp.39015024198718	Or is n't the stage of the Princesse big enough for your rehearsals?"
mdp.39015024198718	Or is there, possibly, something else?"
mdp.39015024198718	Or perhaps you did n't notice —?"
mdp.39015024198718	Or was that worth while — would it not be dignifying the thing with an undue importance, since apparently it had been thrown away as worthless?
mdp.39015024198718	Ready?
mdp.39015024198718	Really?"
mdp.39015024198718	Rhode?"
mdp.39015024198718	Shall I put him out of his misery — ask him over?"
mdp.39015024198718	Shall you be there?"
mdp.39015024198718	She heard herself say"No?"
mdp.39015024198718	She replied submissively,"Yes, Mad- ame?"
mdp.39015024198718	Should she call Jean and leave it with him to be returned to its putative owner, the Red Man?
mdp.39015024198718	Sidonie said I simply this: that the Crimson Rambler —""Who?
mdp.39015024198718	So what's the odds?
mdp.39015024198718	So you see...""You, Madame Savaran — you were Madame Blessington?
mdp.39015024198718	Something in Madame's tone brought a soft flush to Cynthia's face as she replied:"Mr. Crit- tenden —""Crittenden?

inu.30000128228180	Golden hair?"
inu.30000128228180	Had Miss Dow eloped with some one besides Mason?
inu.30000128228180	Had he a rival who might desire his death?
inu.30000128228180	Had he any rival?
inu.30000128228180	Had he recently acquired any new information as to these jewels?
inu.30000128228180	Harry what? ” Manning stared at the reporter for a moment in amazement, then gradually a smile came to his lips.
inu.30000128228180	Harry – Harry — what? ” He drew from his pocket several letters and half a dozen scraps of paper and ran over them.
inu.30000128228180	Has he a family?
inu.30000128228180	Hatch, will you walk through the financial district with Mr. Doane? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	Hate?
inu.30000128228180	Have you any- thing to add?"
inu.30000128228180	Have you heard much about this ghost story? ” he asked, and there was a slight smile on his face.
inu.30000128228180	Have you that first linen note, warden?"
inu.30000128228180	Have you the handkerchief? ” 1 THE FLAMING 241 PHANTOM I suppose I might get it,"was the doubtful reply.
inu.30000128228180	He leaned over her, and asked one question: “ What system of shorthand do you write? ” “ Pitman,"was the astonished reply.
inu.30000128228180	He was 66 THE GREAT AUTO MYSTERY 189 “ Has anybody? ”'No, sir. ” “ What direction was the car going when it struck?"
inu.30000128228180	He was 66 THE GREAT AUTO MYSTERY 189 “ Has anybody? ”'No, sir. ” “ What direction was the car going when it struck?"
inu.30000128228180	Heard the news? ” asked the manager.
inu.30000128228180	How about the airship?"
inu.30000128228180	How can I help you? ” “ I am lost, hopelessly lost, ” the stranger resumed.
inu.30000128228180	How did I know?
inu.30000128228180	How long would it take you to get to the studio? ” “ Half an hour."
inu.30000128228180	How many electricians came in? ” he asked, over the short'phone.
inu.30000128228180	How was it the gas was put out at no time of the score or more nights Mr. Henley him- self kept watch?
inu.30000128228180	How was the plotter to satisfy himself positively of the time when Mr. Hen- ley was asleep?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How?
inu.30000128228180	How? ” Cur- tis seemed speechless.
inu.30000128228180	How? ” asked Hatch, startled.
inu.30000128228180	I believe the first remark he heard was that copper had gone to smash-down, I presume that means? ” “ Yes, ” the reporter replied.
inu.30000128228180	I came with him. ” “ Miss Dow? ” asked Hatch, quickly.
inu.30000128228180	I did n't remove these; I left the body just as it was for the medical examiner. ” “ How was she dressed? ” Hatch went on.
inu.30000128228180	I do n't suppose you know anything else about it?"
inu.30000128228180	I have been out of the city for several weeks, and What's the mat- ter? ” he demanded suddenly.
inu.30000128228180	I presume in daytime, eh Bill?
inu.30000128228180	I recall it now. ” And what made you recall it?
inu.30000128228180	I remember the capital D clearly. ” “ Was it anything like the handwriting of the broker- what's- his- name?—Ernest Weston?"
inu.30000128228180	Identical, so far as I can see. ” you have any baggage or checks for baggage? ” “ No.
inu.30000128228180	If she had been reading by the gas light, how was it then that it went out and suffocated her before she could arise and shut it off?
inu.30000128228180	If so, who?
inu.30000128228180	If so, whose?"
inu.30000128228180	In his rooms?
inu.30000128228180	In it he asked these questions: “ Has there ever been any financial trouble in Blank National Bank?
inu.30000128228180	In that case is he what he pretends to be a man who does n't know himself? ” asked the reporter."
inu.30000128228180	In- stantly in my mind the question was aroused: Was it Miss Melrose who was killed?
inu.30000128228180	Is Mr. Cabell here? ” asked the scientist of the elevator boy.
inu.30000128228180	Is he at home now?
inu.30000128228180	Is he coming, Mr. Hatch? ” Yes,"was the reply.
inu.30000128228180	Is he here? ” she demanded, breathlessly.
inu.30000128228180	Is he in love with you? ” again came the question.
inu.30000128228180	Is it anything like the handwriting you write now?
inu.30000128228180	Is it clear?"
inu.30000128228180	Is it possible for anyone to overhear us here? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	Is she dead? ” “ Shut up that young fool's mouth, Mr. Mallory,"commanded the scientist, sharply.
inu.30000128228180	Is that perfectly clear to you? ” The woman's lips were pressed tightly together.
inu.30000128228180	Is that right? ” Again the prisoner was surprised into a mute acquiescence.
inu.30000128228180	Is that so? ” he demanded quickly, as Curtis faced about wonderingly.
inu.30000128228180	Is there a doctor near here?"
inu.30000128228180	Is there any question but that Miss Dow did elope with Mr. Mason and not some other man? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	Is there anyone else?
inu.30000128228180	It all comes to the one vital question: Who in the bank uses perfume? ”"I do n't know,"said the two officials.
inu.30000128228180	It has electricians?"
inu.30000128228180	It was all perfectly new. ” “ Name of the maker on it?"
inu.30000128228180	It was simply an act of charity. ” “ What was the cause of your sudden determina- tion to go South to- night? ” asked the scientist.
inu.30000128228180	It was the possibility of a threat,-“ill you. ” Did it mean “ kill you or- or what?
inu.30000128228180	Jealousy of what?
inu.30000128228180	Jealousy?
inu.30000128228180	Just what is it you want me to answer?'
inu.30000128228180	Knew her how?
inu.30000128228180	Lawyer?
inu.30000128228180	Light all right, eh? ” the warden asked, through the'phone.
inu.30000128228180	Love?
inu.30000128228180	Man or woman?
inu.30000128228180	May I look them over?"
inu.30000128228180	May I see it? ” The valet, without a word but with a sullen glance at the questioner, turned and left the room.
inu.30000128228180	May I sit there a moment? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	Mean- while where is Harrison?"
inu.30000128228180	Money?
inu.30000128228180	Motive?
inu.30000128228180	Not afraid, are you?"
inu.30000128228180	Now the question is — who?
inu.30000128228180	Now will you talk?"
inu.30000128228180	Now, Mr. Cabell, will you THE SCARLET THREAD 91 « Miss please tell me just who Miss Austin is, and where she is, and her mental condition?
inu.30000128228180	Now, please, what does it all mean? ” asked MacLean, who up to this time had been silent.
inu.30000128228180	Now, what one person knew most about the jewels?
inu.30000128228180	Now, what shall I do?"
inu.30000128228180	Now, what was the plot?
inu.30000128228180	Now, where is Miss Dow? ” asked The Think- ing Machine, in turn.
inu.30000128228180	Oh, you shut it off to- night, then?"
inu.30000128228180	One electrician too many?
inu.30000128228180	Or, if she had had the knife, could you have seen it?"
inu.30000128228180	Part of the office regulation?
inu.30000128228180	Please, please, is he here? ” “ A moment, madam,"said The Thinking Ma- chine.
inu.30000128228180	RALSTON BANK BURGLARY 301 And, Mr. Dunston, you will give me credit for some good, wo n't you — some good in that I loved you? ” she pleaded.
inu.30000128228180	Remember that jack full I held?
inu.30000128228180	See? ” And between the scientist's long fingers the jailer saw a small gray rat struggling.
inu.30000128228180	Shall we not, dear?"
inu.30000128228180	Smell anything? ” asked The Thinking Ma- chine.
inu.30000128228180	So when you ran and the — the THING moved away or disappeared you found yourself in the library? ” The Thinking Machine asked at last.
inu.30000128228180	Some one was arrested for this, and you want to give me the name of that man?"
inu.30000128228180	Speak to anyone in the inn?
inu.30000128228180	Suppose she had been cast off because of the engagement to a young woman of Henley's own level?
inu.30000128228180	Suppose she had confided in the valet here?
inu.30000128228180	THE FLAMING PHANTOM 243 “ Do you think that necessary? ” asked Weston.
inu.30000128228180	THE GREAT AUTO MYSTERY 183 “ It's “ You believe, then, that she did kill herself? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	THE PROBLEM OF 17 CELL 13 “ Ai n't you got anything better to do than to catch rats? ” asked the jailer.
inu.30000128228180	THE PROBLEM OF CELL 13 9 And what is the third request?
inu.30000128228180	THE SCARLET THREAD 87"Do you know where the woman- Miss Austin-is now?
inu.30000128228180	THE SCARLET THREAD 99 How was this watch kept?
inu.30000128228180	Take it away. ” “ Take what away? ” asked the warden.
inu.30000128228180	That a tailor- made suit? ” asked the scientist.
inu.30000128228180	That all?"
inu.30000128228180	That being true, it is perfectly possible that she was his ideal for a wife, is n't it?"
inu.30000128228180	That is, does it light up a room, for instance?"
inu.30000128228180	That is, knowing it yourself now, do you have any reason to suppose that he previously knew?"
inu.30000128228180	That's when it was done, is n't it? ” he asked suddenly of the valet.
inu.30000128228180	The Thinking Machine was the first to break the silence: “ You believe Cabell is the man who attempted to kill Henley?
inu.30000128228180	The capital D's? ” They are not unlike the one the- the THING wrote, but they are not wholly like it, ” was the reply.
inu.30000128228180	The ghost — where is he?"
inu.30000128228180	The guard brought you those, then? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	The next question was how was a watch kept on Mr. Henley?
inu.30000128228180	The question was: Would it reach him?
inu.30000128228180	Then again: Well, well! ” What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	Then came the dread misty light in the reception- hall, or was it in the library?
inu.30000128228180	Then he asked another question: “ Who attends to those arc lights? ” “ Man from the company.'
inu.30000128228180	Then she was found dead. ” “ With the gas turned on? ” “ With the gas turned on.
inu.30000128228180	Then what did I have?
inu.30000128228180	Then, What?
inu.30000128228180	Then, after a pause: the figure is white and seems to be flaming?"
inu.30000128228180	Then: How long has Cabell been in Boston?
inu.30000128228180	Then: “ Do n't you remember me? ” she asked again and again.
inu.30000128228180	Then: “ Is Miss Dow a blonde or brunette?"
inu.30000128228180	Then: “ You know I'm not a criminal, do n't you?"
inu.30000128228180	There might be an explosion. ” “ Do you know Mr. Weldon Henley?"
inu.30000128228180	There were many things he did not understand, but the principal question in his mind took form: “ Why did you turn Curtis over to the police, then?"
inu.30000128228180	There were other things, too, but I did n't hear them. ” That was last night, eh? ” asked the warden.
inu.30000128228180	There- fore, where did it come from?
inu.30000128228180	Therefore still the question — how?
inu.30000128228180	Therefore was it his?
inu.30000128228180	Therefore what was this noise?
inu.30000128228180	These are the men who blew the safe, ” The Thinking Machine explained, indicating the prison- “ Does anyone here recognize them?"
inu.30000128228180	They stepped inside as a man's voice called from another room: “ Who is it?"
inu.30000128228180	They were things which would have been permitted any prisoner under sentence of death, were they not, warden?"
inu.30000128228180	Three workmen in jumpers and overalls and the manager?
inu.30000128228180	Three,"was the reply; “ Miss Clarke, who is my secretary, and two general stenographers in the outer office. ” “ How many men?"
inu.30000128228180	To whom?
inu.30000128228180	True, Miss Field had last been seen on Wednesday, but then?-nothing.
inu.30000128228180	Two came out?"
inu.30000128228180	Two reporters, eh?
inu.30000128228180	Used to be? ” the other repeated with a laugh.
inu.30000128228180	Want a cup of coffee or something? ” Thanks, no,"the girl replied.
inu.30000128228180	Was Bell also a thief?
inu.30000128228180	Was Miss Melrose dead at all?
inu.30000128228180	Was it possible that she killed Miss Melrose?
inu.30000128228180	Was it the purpose to keep the workmen away?
inu.30000128228180	Was she acting under the direction of some one else?
inu.30000128228180	Was the doctor in?
inu.30000128228180	Was there an embezzlement or shortage at any time?
inu.30000128228180	Weldon Henley?
inu.30000128228180	Well, how- in what manner- did it come where you found it?"
inu.30000128228180	Well, then, suppose we say the constable and you and I? ” asked the broker; “ to- night? ”* All right."
inu.30000128228180	Well, then, suppose we say the constable and you and I? ” asked the broker; “ to- night? ”* All right."
inu.30000128228180	Well, what is it this time? ” he asked, genially.
inu.30000128228180	Well, what was it?"
inu.30000128228180	Well, why not with St. George? ”"St. George? ” gasped Hatch.
inu.30000128228180	Well, why not with St. George? ”"St. George? ” gasped Hatch.
inu.30000128228180	Well? ” he queried.
inu.30000128228180	West?"
inu.30000128228180	Weston, you understand, of course, that I came into this thing to aid Mr. Hatch? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	What about him?"
inu.30000128228180	What are you trying to do? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	What caused his condition?
inu.30000128228180	What day of the month is it? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	What does it all mean? ” he asked, bewildered.
inu.30000128228180	What happened at the bank?"
inu.30000128228180	What happened to you this afternoon in Winter Street?"
inu.30000128228180	What is all this, anyway?"
inu.30000128228180	What is his real name?
inu.30000128228180	What is it all, any- way?"
inu.30000128228180	What is it, please?"
inu.30000128228180	What is it?
inu.30000128228180	What is it? ” he inquired.
inu.30000128228180	What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	What is my name?"
inu.30000128228180	What is reputation of Cashier Bell?
inu.30000128228180	What is reputation of President Harrison?
inu.30000128228180	What is the matter with her? ” he demanded.
inu.30000128228180	What mo- tive?
inu.30000128228180	What was it, Mr. Mallory?"
inu.30000128228180	What were the circumstances, exactly?"
inu.30000128228180	What would have a motive to kill Henley? ” What person III THERE was a pause as they walked on.
inu.30000128228180	What's he accused of?"
inu.30000128228180	What's his attitude toward Henley now?"
inu.30000128228180	What's that?
inu.30000128228180	What's the matter, Marguerite? ” asked Curtis, as he glanced around.
inu.30000128228180	What's the matter? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	What, for instance?
inu.30000128228180	What, then?
inu.30000128228180	What?
inu.30000128228180	What?
inu.30000128228180	What? ” exclaimed both men.
inu.30000128228180	What? ” gasped Hatch.
inu.30000128228180	When does the inspector come here to read the meter?"
inu.30000128228180	Where does he live?
inu.30000128228180	Where had The Thinking Machine found this new piece of linen?
inu.30000128228180	Where is the other man? ” asked Hatch.
inu.30000128228180	Where?
inu.30000128228180	Where?
inu.30000128228180	Where?
inu.30000128228180	Where?
inu.30000128228180	Where?
inu.30000128228180	Where?
inu.30000128228180	Where? ” asked Hatch.
inu.30000128228180	Which do you want to learn more about?"
inu.30000128228180	Which?
inu.30000128228180	Which?
inu.30000128228180	Who had access to these apart- ments?
inu.30000128228180	Who is he?"
inu.30000128228180	Who killed her?
inu.30000128228180	Who might have used your bath robe?
inu.30000128228180	Who was the woman?
inu.30000128228180	Who was then in these apartments?
inu.30000128228180	Who was this some one?
inu.30000128228180	Who — who was murdered, then?"
inu.30000128228180	Whom?
inu.30000128228180	Why Curtis's?
inu.30000128228180	Why did it appear just at the moment they went to begin the work Mr. Weston had ordered?
inu.30000128228180	Why did n't I think of that before? ” he de- manded of himself.
inu.30000128228180	Why did she ask these questions?
inu.30000128228180	Why did you bring them, then?
inu.30000128228180	Why did you never ask Miss Melrose to marry you?"
inu.30000128228180	Why did you say sell copper?
inu.30000128228180	Why was it there?
inu.30000128228180	Why?
inu.30000128228180	Why?
inu.30000128228180	Why?
inu.30000128228180	Why?
inu.30000128228180	Why? ” demanded The Thinking Machine, quickly.
inu.30000128228180	Why? ” “ Because he had the motive- disappointed love."
inu.30000128228180	Why? ” “ Have n't you seen the afternoon papers?"
inu.30000128228180	Why? ” “ Have n't you seen the afternoon papers?"
inu.30000128228180	Why? ” “ Is this a third degree? ” demanded Curtis, angrily, and he arose.
inu.30000128228180	Why? ” “ Is this a third degree? ” demanded Curtis, angrily, and he arose.
inu.30000128228180	Why?"
inu.30000128228180	Why?"
inu.30000128228180	Why?"
inu.30000128228180	Why?"
inu.30000128228180	Wire cut beside Cell 13?
inu.30000128228180	With the mask on you could n't see her face?"
inu.30000128228180	Would he hurry?

inu.30000128228180	Would she have any motive for killing Henley?
inu.30000128228180	Would she see a reporter?
inu.30000128228180	Would you consider a financial reward for aiding me to escape?'
inu.30000128228180	Would you like to know why? ” Sure,"said the detective.
inu.30000128228180	Yes, sir. ” “ How many rooms has Mr. St. George? ” asked the scientist.
inu.30000128228180	You are in the engine room or near it all night every night? ” began The Thinking Machine.

inu.30000128228180	tell us?
inu.30000128228180	you remember me, John?"
inu.30000128228180	“ A gentleman to see you, sir,"she said, “ Name?"
inu.30000128228180	“ A great artist elope with a shop- girl?
inu.30000128228180	“ A mystery? ” Hatch inquired, eagerly.
inu.30000128228180	“ A thousand?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Acid?"
inu.30000128228180	“ After that?"
inu.30000128228180	“ All right down there? ” Hatch called.
inu.30000128228180	“ All right, sir? ” Dunston inquired.
inu.30000128228180	“ All right? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Am I a prisoner? ” “ Not at all,"said The Thinking Machine, quietly.
inu.30000128228180	“ Am I?"
inu.30000128228180	“ And I suppose the country place was being put in order as a Summer residence?"
inu.30000128228180	“ And Jack Curtis?
inu.30000128228180	“ And how did he happen to be here?"
inu.30000128228180	“ And if you do not?
inu.30000128228180	“ And meantime?"
inu.30000128228180	“ And the girl?
inu.30000128228180	“ And the ladies? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ And the receiving teller? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ And the woman who is she?
inu.30000128228180	“ And this gentleman? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ And this is the bath robe you wore, is n't it?
inu.30000128228180	“ And where — where does he get anything to write with? ” demanded the warden of the world at large.
inu.30000128228180	“ And you never drop off to sleep at night for a few minutes when you get lonely?
inu.30000128228180	“ Are there any more questions?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Are you going to be married?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Are you on friendly terms with him?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Are you sure you are not Miss Austin?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Are you sure? ” Certain, ” said Hatch, positively.
inu.30000128228180	“ Been drinking? ” “ Might have had a few drinks, ” responded the reporter.
inu.30000128228180	“ Both transoms closed, I suppose? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ But how did he mail that letter?"
inu.30000128228180	“ But how did you do it? ” insisted the warden.
inu.30000128228180	“ But if not aphasia, what was it?
inu.30000128228180	“ But the-- you had two tens and a five — what the-how do you do it?
inu.30000128228180	“ But who do you think committed the crime?
inu.30000128228180	“ But you did n't notice particularly that some were çot dusty?"
inu.30000128228180	“ But your actually leaving the prison grounds and then coming in through the outer gate to my office?"
inu.30000128228180	“ By the way,"the other went on, “ do you hap- pen to remember the name of that Winter Street store that Curtis went in?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Ca n't you go down with us to- night? ” Hatch asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Cashier Bell? ” He leaned forward eagerly and watched the face of his patient; Hatch unconsciously did the same.
inu.30000128228180	“ Cashier of the Blank National Bank of Butte, Montana?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Could anyone outside hear that, for instance?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Could she, wearing an automobile mask, see either side of herself without turning?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Counterfeit?
inu.30000128228180	“ Counterfeit?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Cracks in the doors stuffed?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did Miss Regnier know Henley?
inu.30000128228180	“ Did Willis know she was the original of that painting?
inu.30000128228180	“ Did any of my men change this money for you-on your word of honor?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did he do that?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did n't he even remember that? ” “ And what's his business?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did n't he even remember that? ” “ And what's his business?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did or did you not ever hear Mr. Willis threaten Miss Field?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did or did you not know that Miss Field was the original of the painting?
inu.30000128228180	“ Did the handwriting recall nothing?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did you know what those scraps of paper you brought me contained?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Did you search his rooms? ” asked The Think- ing Machine of the detective who had made the double arrest.
inu.30000128228180	“ Did you see Ernest Weston's handwriting?'
inu.30000128228180	“ Did you see the body, Mr. Hatch?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do n't you know me?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you admit that it was a fair test?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you believe it now?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you deny it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you happen to remember Preston Bell? ” he demanded, emphasizing the name explosively.
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you know an expert? ”"Yes."
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you know anyone in Providence who can get some information for you?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you know his name? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you know the circumstances of your arrival at the hotel? ” he asked at last.
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you know — not conjecture, but know — whether or not Miss Field, or Grace, as you call her, was engaged to Willis?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you know, then, what the valet, Jean, knows of the affair?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you recognize any person in this room?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you smell gasoline? ” Curtis asked suddenly, turning to the others.
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you speak any foreign language? ” “ No."
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you think Fraser had anything to do with it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you think you've got enough to get to the inn?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you use gas in these apartments?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Do you want to buy or sell?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Does anyone else in the house keep gas going all night? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Does he know that you are accused of murder? ” asked The Thinking Machine, in a quiet, conversa- tional tone.
inu.30000128228180	“ Does it give out any light?
inu.30000128228180	“ Does it occur to you that there is any connection whatever between Henley and Miss Regnier?
inu.30000128228180	“ Does n't it strike you as perfectly possible, Mr. Hatch, ” he asked finally, “ that Miss Melrose did kill herself?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Does that look like counterfeit to you? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Does the gas in the house all come through the same meter? ” “ Yes, so the manager told me.
inu.30000128228180	“ Does the word mean anything to you? ” asked Hatch quickly.
inu.30000128228180	“ Escaped?
inu.30000128228180	“ Ever use that flagpole?
inu.30000128228180	“ Find it? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Find them? ” Hatch repeated.
inu.30000128228180	“ Four?
inu.30000128228180	“ French, is n't he?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Got what? ” he asked, sharply.
inu.30000128228180	“ Harrison — do you know him?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Has anybody who lives in the village seen the ghost?'
inu.30000128228180	“ Has she fainted?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Has this woman given any name? ” was the scientist's first question.
inu.30000128228180	“ Have you a fireman? ” was The Thinking Ma- chine's next question.
inu.30000128228180	“ Have you a mirror in these apartments about twelve inches by twelve inches?
inu.30000128228180	“ Have you such a knife as was used to kill Miss Melrose? ” he asked at the end.
inu.30000128228180	“ Have you that scrap? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ He's going away on the midnight train- going South, to Virginia. ” “ Going away to- night? ” Hatch gasped.
inu.30000128228180	“ He's in hospital, shot. ” 330 THE MYSTERY OF A STUDIO Is there a key to his place?
inu.30000128228180	“ He's now in Boston?
inu.30000128228180	“ Her name? ” “ Mrs.
inu.30000128228180	“ How did you do it?
inu.30000128228180	“ How did you do it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How did you do it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How do you account for it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How far away is the water? ” “ The place overlooks the water, but it's a steep climb of three hundred yards from the water to the house."
inu.30000128228180	“ How far is the river over there?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How far?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How long ago was that? ” “ Three years, was n't it, Harry? ” asked Man- ning.
inu.30000128228180	“ How long ago was that? ” “ Three years, was n't it, Harry? ” asked Man- ning.
inu.30000128228180	“ How long has Miss Austin known Mr. Henley?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How long have you been employed here? ” asked the scientist, suddenly.
inu.30000128228180	“ How many women employed in the bank? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ How was it disarranged?"
inu.30000128228180	“ How's your head? ” came the answering ques- tion.
inu.30000128228180	“ How?
inu.30000128228180	“ How? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ How?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I believe she wore a veil and an automobile mask at the time she was killed?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I did not. ” “ It is a semi- nude picture, is n't it?
inu.30000128228180	“ I do n't sup- pose there's any chance of her returning here unex- pectedly if I should happen to take her apartments?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I do n't suppose it's very serious if a man pro- poses to a girl seven times, is it? ” Reid asked, banteringly.
inu.30000128228180	“ I do n't suppose you ever had occasion to handle the gas meter? ” insisted The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ I fainted, did n't I?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I presume you examine and know that the time check in the engineer's room is properly punched every half- hour during the night? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ I suppose they are very small? ” “ Too small to crawl through, if that's what you're thinking about, ” was the grinning response.
inu.30000128228180	“ I suppose you consider that this turning on of the gas was an attempt on your life?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I think I'll run in and scare up some sort of a hot drink, if you'll excuse me?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I understand some blood was thrown on you at the Weston place the other night?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I understood Medical Examiner Francis to say she had dark hair?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I wonder if you would give me a card of introduc- tion to him?
inu.30000128228180	“ I — have we, Jean? ” Oui, ” replied the valet.
inu.30000128228180	“ I'll do what I can. ” “ And tell me who and what I am?"
inu.30000128228180	“ I've just gotten a letter from Springfield stating that he was there on the day Grace went away — and- “ Know who did n't do what?"
inu.30000128228180	“ If she was in this plot to kill Henley, why did she light the jet in her room?
inu.30000128228180	“ If this William Dineen is at large you believe he did this?"
inu.30000128228180	“ In a good humor? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ In my lower coat pocket. ” “ By the way, what kind of looking woman was Miss Melrose?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Indeed? ” asked the reporter.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is Mr. St. George in his apartments?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Is he dead? ” “ No, but he is unconscious.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is he still here? ” Yes.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is he unpacking?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Is it Mr. Curtis's knife? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is it too late for anyone to get down from Bos- ton to- night? ” he asked the constable.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is that the same?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Is that you, Marguerite? ” he asked finally.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is there any question about the letter being in her handwriting?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Is there anything I could tell you?
inu.30000128228180	“ Is there nothing you can do?
inu.30000128228180	“ Is this a joke? ” “ No, my God, man, ca n't you see? ” exclaimed Doane, fiercely.
inu.30000128228180	“ Is this a joke? ” “ No, my God, man, ca n't you see? ” exclaimed Doane, fiercely.
inu.30000128228180	“ It is perfectly horrible in its simplicity. ” What was it? ” Hatch insisted, eagerly."
inu.30000128228180	“ It might be better for you if you told the story then? ” suggested The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ It's perfectly hideous, is n't it?
inu.30000128228180	“ Just how much was the gas turned on? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Just what was said, Mr. Hatch, before he col- lapsed?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Last time I saw you was in Pittsburg, was n't it? ” Manning rattled on, as he led the way into a nearby café.
inu.30000128228180	“ Man's or woman's?"
inu.30000128228180	“ May I see them? ”.
inu.30000128228180	“ Miss Clarke, is young Dunston in love with you?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Miss Dow?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Miss Field knew him before you did, I think you said?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Murder?
inu.30000128228180	“ My husband?
inu.30000128228180	“ No chance at all for Cabell? ” Hatch suggested.
inu.30000128228180	“ No glimpse of her hair?'
inu.30000128228180	“ No laundry marks on your linen either, suppose?
inu.30000128228180	“ No one thinks for a- “ Well, well, the handkerchief? ” interrupted The Thinking Machine, in annoyance.
inu.30000128228180	“ Nobody else has been overcome as he has been? ” 62 THE SCARLET THREAD"No.
inu.30000128228180	“ Not be back? ” Reid repeated.
inu.30000128228180	“ Not on a night as dark'as this?
inu.30000128228180	“ Oh, John, do n't you remember me?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Or her exact relationship to Cabell?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Or her precise mental condition? ” “ No."
inu.30000128228180	“ Plan number three fails, eh? ” he asked, good- naturedly.
inu.30000128228180	“ Preston Bell? ” the other repeated, and again the mental struggle was apparent on his face. “ Pres- ton Bell!"
inu.30000128228180	“ Professor Van Dusen here?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Professor Van Dusen? ” Cabell inquired.
inu.30000128228180	“ Shall I ask some questions?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Suppose we were seeking a motive for Miss Melrose's suicide, what would we have?
inu.30000128228180	“ That's where the other thing happened, is n't it? ” he asked, rather thickly.
inu.30000128228180	“ That's where the screw was, is n't it? ” he asked, as he indicated a small hole in the frame of the mir- ror.
inu.30000128228180	“ The drainage pipes of the prison lead to the river, do n't they? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ The ghost down on the South Shore, or my forth- coming marriage?
inu.30000128228180	“ The girl who eloped last night with Morgan Mason? ” “ Yes, ” replied Curtis.
inu.30000128228180	“ The man who eloped with Miss Dow? ” asked Hatch, breathlessly.
inu.30000128228180	“ The manager or a hall boy? ” “ Never. ” “ In the last two months?
inu.30000128228180	“ The manager or a hall boy? ” “ Never. ” “ In the last two months?
inu.30000128228180	“ Then what is he?
inu.30000128228180	“ This gentleman has good medical attention, I suppose? ” “ Yes, sir.
inu.30000128228180	“ This is your valet? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ Tomorrow night? ” Hatch insisted.
inu.30000128228180	“ Two big electric lights in front of the building, are n't there?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Was Henley ever a party to a liason of any kind?
inu.30000128228180	“ Was Miss Austin ailing any way? ” asked Hatch.
inu.30000128228180	“ Was it a man's or woman's writing? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
inu.30000128228180	“ Was she blonde or brunette?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Well, do you make it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Well, do you really think it necessary in my case?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Well, if that- what- what do you think of that? ” he asked, dazed.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well, now what do you think o'that? ” he de- manded, still grinning.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well, what is it? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well? ” asked the scientist.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well? ” he demanded, and there was a smile on his face.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well? ” he demanded, as he glanced up.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well? ” inquired the reporter.
inu.30000128228180	“ Well?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Well?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Were both the doors of the room closed?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Were the jewels ever found? ” asked the reporter.
inu.30000128228180	“ What did it say?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What did she look like?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What did you hear? ” “ 1-I ca n't tell you, ” stammered the prisoner.
inu.30000128228180	“ What did you write in the note you sent to Cabell that made him start to unpack? ” asked the reporter, curiously.
inu.30000128228180	“ What did you write this with?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What do you know?
inu.30000128228180	“ What does it seem to be? ” Hatch examined it closely.
inu.30000128228180	“ What elopement?
inu.30000128228180	“ What happened to- night — what frightened you just now?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What is all this? ” asked Hatch, bewildered.
inu.30000128228180	“ What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What is it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What is more natural than she should have sought something — the knife, say — in the tool bag or kit, which must have been near her?
inu.30000128228180	“ What is that noise in there? ” asked Dr. Ran- some, through the bars.
inu.30000128228180	“ What remained?
inu.30000128228180	“ What the deuce does it mean, anyhow? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ What was it, a file?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What was more possible than Mr. Henley and Miss Regnier had been acquainted?
inu.30000128228180	“ What was this?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What woman? ” asked Manning.
inu.30000128228180	“ What — what is it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What's that? ” demanded The Thinking Ma- chine, aggressively.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter with her? ” demanded Reid, fiercely.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter with you, anyhow? ” insisted the warden, impatiently.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter? ” demanded the warden.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the matter?. ” he demanded.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the next move?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What's the number of the car? ” It did n't have any.
inu.30000128228180	“ What's this in the bed?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What?"
inu.30000128228180	“ What?"
inu.30000128228180	“ When did you see him last?
inu.30000128228180	“ When you went over the house in daylight, did you notice if any of the mirrors were dusty? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where are you from? ” began the scientist.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where are you going? ” asked Hatch, curiously.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where did it come from?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Where did you carry it when it was not in your auto kit?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Where do you usually sit at night here? ” the next question.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where is the handkerchief? ” “ In my desk, ” Fraser replied.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where was the handkerchief found? ” de- manded The Thinking Machine, at last.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where — how did you get it?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Where're we going? ” he demanded.
inu.30000128228180	“ Where? ” “ I used my brain, that's all,"was the reply.
inu.30000128228180	“ Who is she? ” he asked, as he bent over the still figure and fumbled about the throat and breast.
inu.30000128228180	“ Who is that?
inu.30000128228180	“ Who is this fellow?
inu.30000128228180	“ Who shot him?
inu.30000128228180	“ Who shot you? ” he was asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Who was the woman? ” demanded Curtis.
inu.30000128228180	“ Who — what — who is she?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Who?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Why do you ask me? ” he demanded.
inu.30000128228180	“ Why do you tell me? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Why does he have a light at all?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Why not unlocked? ” “ It was done because Henley had firmly barred answer.
inu.30000128228180	“ Why was the door smashed in?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Why — what — what is all this? ” demanded Mal- lory, amazed.
inu.30000128228180	“ Why? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Will you tell how you did it or shall I?."
inu.30000128228180	“ Would it be possible for me to see Miss Stanford for just a moment? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Would it be possible for us to see the gentleman who was hurt?"
inu.30000128228180	“ Would you mind telling me why you were so anxious to get away to- night? ” he asked.
inu.30000128228180	“ Would you mind turning your car a little so I can run in off the road? ” “ I do n't know how, ” she replied, helplessly.
inu.30000128228180	“ You are positive this gentleman is your hus- band?
inu.30000128228180	“ You ca n't recall a wife or children? ” “ No."
inu.30000128228180	“ You do n't doubt but what it was murder?'
inu.30000128228180	“ You figure that the THING, as you call it, must have been just about in the door?
inu.30000128228180	“ You have no electricians in the building? ”"No."
inu.30000128228180	“ You know, of course, that this man is not your husband?
inu.30000128228180	“ You'll never say anything about that other thing — the knife — will you? ” pleaded Curtis.
inu.30000128228180	“ Your friend Reid did n't happen to be in love with her, too, did he? ” “ Oh, no,"was the reply.
inu.30000128228180	“ Your wife?
inu.30000128228180	“'Too bad, is n't it?"
inu.30000128228180	” he asked,"or will you tell it?
inu.30000128228180	• “ Is he under arrest? ” Hatch inquired of the detective, aside.
mdp.39015014147568	A feeling, George?
mdp.39015014147568	Ah, was that so? mdp.39015014147568 Am I not good enough now?
mdp.39015014147568	Am I not?
mdp.39015014147568	Amused? mdp.39015014147568 And Miss Susan?"
mdp.39015014147568	And about the lands here?
mdp.39015014147568	And the other things — the foreclosures?
mdp.39015014147568	And was it not?
mdp.39015014147568	And what, now, about the case of the water- front at the bend?
mdp.39015014147568	And why not?
mdp.39015014147568	And you think this man does suffer?
mdp.39015014147568	And you were positive?
mdp.39015014147568	And you wo n't delay?
mdp.39015014147568	And, dear,she went on,"suppose the impos- sible; suppose you ruin this wretch, make him suf- fer, what good will it do?"
mdp.39015014147568	Are you doing well on the bluff?
mdp.39015014147568	Are you going to leave me here alone?
mdp.39015014147568	Are you sure? mdp.39015014147568 Are you, my dear sister?
mdp.39015014147568	As you look up, now, do you see the face?
mdp.39015014147568	Before I answer, may I venture to ask if this spectral illusion came only at times and then more and more often, and was there any immediate cause? mdp.39015014147568 But does he?
mdp.39015014147568	But had you not better hear the rest of the evi- dence?
mdp.39015014147568	But how remarkable?
mdp.39015014147568	But what am I to read?
mdp.39015014147568	But what did the man mean by it all?
mdp.39015014147568	But what do you mean to do?
mdp.39015014147568	But what does Susan say?
mdp.39015014147568	But what will you do, George?
mdp.39015014147568	But what will you do? mdp.39015014147568 But who is Constance like?"
mdp.39015014147568	But will she? mdp.39015014147568 But you mean to tell her?
mdp.39015014147568	But, George, even if he forgave them his own sufferings, how could he pardon them for the poor old father's misery? mdp.39015014147568 But,"said Averill,"if we win, will you not then consider the unfortunate accident which has cost these people so dear, and arrange the matter?"
mdp.39015014147568	Ca n't you arrest him? mdp.39015014147568 Can not I be present?"
mdp.39015014147568	Can she know the man?
mdp.39015014147568	Can you hold your tongue, Tom? mdp.39015014147568 Can you say that?"
mdp.39015014147568	Can you swear to the trees marking the east- ward bound? mdp.39015014147568 Could you come up in the afternoons and help me in my garden, for three dollars a week?"
mdp.39015014147568	Could you not go away and live elsewhere?
mdp.39015014147568	Could you say where on it the trees would be you have spoken of — those on the inland side? mdp.39015014147568 Did any one tell you not to answer?"
mdp.39015014147568	Did he blaze only with the ax?
mdp.39015014147568	Did he express himself in regard to it when he heard of it?
mdp.39015014147568	Did he shoot Tom's brother?
mdp.39015014147568	Did they like your toast?
mdp.39015014147568	Did you really do that, uncle?
mdp.39015014147568	Did you take his morals in hand?
mdp.39015014147568	Did you tell him he would be scalped? mdp.39015014147568 Did you tell my wife you would do as she has said?"
mdp.39015014147568	Did you? mdp.39015014147568 Did your husband know of your intention to intervene between him and Coffin?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do I ever forget you, Constance?
mdp.39015014147568	Do I understand your charges to allude in any way tome?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you expect to be present?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you know his character for truth and vera- city in the community in which he resides?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you know what will happen if you do not reply as you are sworn to do?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you not think, Edward, that she may be a little — well, not quite sane? mdp.39015014147568 Do you still feel that all chance of settlement is out of the question?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do you think he is really — I mean because of that — better than I am? mdp.39015014147568 Do you think you were altogether wise to make him angry?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do you want me any more?
mdp.39015014147568	Does this kind of thing occur often, Constance?
mdp.39015014147568	How are you?
mdp.39015014147568	How could that be?
mdp.39015014147568	How do you know the trees are those said to have been blazed?
mdp.39015014147568	How do you know them?
mdp.39015014147568	How long have I been ill?
mdp.39015014147568	How long?
mdp.39015014147568	How old were you at that time?
mdp.39015014147568	How were you employed in the survey?
mdp.39015014147568	How will it end?
mdp.39015014147568	I ask again, What passed between you on this occasion?'' mdp.39015014147568 I have had,"she said,"some acquaintance with an institution like yours, and now may I learn finally how much per head per day it costs you?"
mdp.39015014147568	I missed you,he said, as they sat down in the little library;"what made you so late?"
mdp.39015014147568	I see that you do not wear your Loyal Legion button — I suppose we are to forget?
mdp.39015014147568	I see, dear; and what did you say to that im- probable old man?'' mdp.39015014147568 I see,"said Trescot;"but were you not a little hasty?"
mdp.39015014147568	I was picking these flowers for you; will you care to carry the basket, or shall I send them? mdp.39015014147568 I?
mdp.39015014147568	I? mdp.39015014147568 If winning be so certain, why seek for a compro- mise?
mdp.39015014147568	In every way? mdp.39015014147568 In what way, uncle?"
mdp.39015014147568	Indeed? mdp.39015014147568 Is he dead?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is it always as warm as this in your July weather?'' mdp.39015014147568 Is it necessary that you do this — I mean tell him?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is it so common, Conny?'' mdp.39015014147568 Is it unnatural, Eleanor?
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that fine, Conny?
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that pretty, sir? mdp.39015014147568 Is not love enough?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is not that unwise, sister?
mdp.39015014147568	Is that all, ma'am?
mdp.39015014147568	Is that all, or is there anything else?
mdp.39015014147568	Is that all?
mdp.39015014147568	Is that your own wisdom, Uncle Rufus?
mdp.39015014147568	Is the land so good?
mdp.39015014147568	Is there anything else, Coffin?
mdp.39015014147568	Is there anything you need for him?
mdp.39015014147568	Is this all, Miss Wilson?
mdp.39015014147568	Is this phantasm that of a face you have ever seen?
mdp.39015014147568	Is this true? mdp.39015014147568 It is all nonsense, of course, but —""But what?"
mdp.39015014147568	Like it? mdp.39015014147568 Like?
mdp.39015014147568	May I ask what was Miss Constance's reply?
mdp.39015014147568	May I come in? mdp.39015014147568 May I, too, apologize?"
mdp.39015014147568	Mrs. Trescot,he said,"as you have spoken of that sad calamity, may I venture to say that I am a distant cousin of Qeorge Trescot?
mdp.39015014147568	My dear Constance, were you not rather hard on that man?
mdp.39015014147568	No new trouble?
mdp.39015014147568	Of which has he none — faith or intellectual assimilation?
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, Conny, what have I done?
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, George, how can I leave you?
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, indeed? mdp.39015014147568 Oh, my poor Conny, why was I not told sooner?
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, shall I not? mdp.39015014147568 Oh, sir, did he see her?"
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, what is it?
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, whether or not; and you wo n't miss the ease of home, the varied life, your carriage and riding- horse?
mdp.39015014147568	Oh, you heard us? mdp.39015014147568 Perplexed?"
mdp.39015014147568	Repented, Kent? mdp.39015014147568 Shall I go on?"
mdp.39015014147568	Shall I go with you? mdp.39015014147568 Suppose my husband were to offer to do one of two things?"
mdp.39015014147568	Taxes go for little in land cases, and where are the receipts? mdp.39015014147568 That is very terrible, my dear child; how could she have done it — or done it as she has?"
mdp.39015014147568	Then may I ask what you propose to do?
mdp.39015014147568	Then you agree to divide the water- front?
mdp.39015014147568	Therefore, when Coffin abuses my husband I shall say:'Are the geraniums doing well?' mdp.39015014147568 They what?"
mdp.39015014147568	This is too bad, George,said Constance;"can we never be left alone?''
mdp.39015014147568	Toast or nervous shock?
mdp.39015014147568	Upon my word, Constance, what about the blind belief we call love? mdp.39015014147568 Was I wrong, George?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was Thomas Coffin ever charged with any crime?'' mdp.39015014147568 Was he not terribly broken up by that extraor- dinary land purchase?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was he?—he and my old captain?
mdp.39015014147568	Was it natural for Joseph to forgive his brothers — and so easily, too? mdp.39015014147568 Was that all, dear?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well, Constance,said Trescot, as he reentered the library,"how much did you hear of that fel- low's agreeable talk?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well, dear?
mdp.39015014147568	Well, dear?
mdp.39015014147568	Well, dear?
mdp.39015014147568	Well, shall I give up my friend of many camp- fires, of sad days, of long night- rides?'' mdp.39015014147568 Well, what is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well, what is it?
mdp.39015014147568	Well, why not? mdp.39015014147568 Well, will you never go on?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well,he said quickly,"what of it, Constance?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well,said Greyhurst, flushing and ill pleased,"what passed between you and Coffin?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well,she said,"Tom, how is your brother- in- law?"
mdp.39015014147568	Well?
mdp.39015014147568	Well?
mdp.39015014147568	Were you not deserting?
mdp.39015014147568	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015014147568	What could I say? mdp.39015014147568 What did Mrs. Trescot say to you?
mdp.39015014147568	What did he say? mdp.39015014147568 What did she do?"
mdp.39015014147568	What did you say, George?
mdp.39015014147568	What do I care? mdp.39015014147568 What do you mean, doctor?"
mdp.39015014147568	What had I done? mdp.39015014147568 What have you been doing now, Conny?"
mdp.39015014147568	What is it, my love?
mdp.39015014147568	What is it? mdp.39015014147568 What is it?
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?
mdp.39015014147568	What is there to perplex? mdp.39015014147568 What kind of man is he?
mdp.39015014147568	What kind of man was Mr. Trescot? mdp.39015014147568 What kind of man was he?"
mdp.39015014147568	What the deuce do you mean?
mdp.39015014147568	What you call contempt of court?
mdp.39015014147568	What's your business?
mdp.39015014147568	What, dear?
mdp.39015014147568	What?
mdp.39015014147568	Where are the trees?
mdp.39015014147568	Where did you know him?
mdp.39015014147568	Where have you been? mdp.39015014147568 Where is George?"
mdp.39015014147568	Who is he?
mdp.39015014147568	Who is it?
mdp.39015014147568	Who on earth can make me?
mdp.39015014147568	Who told you that? mdp.39015014147568 Who's going to make sure of the pay?"
mdp.39015014147568	Whom else did you see?
mdp.39015014147568	Why did you go there?
mdp.39015014147568	Why not divorce as an additional argument? mdp.39015014147568 Will no one tell me?
mdp.39015014147568	Will she live?
mdp.39015014147568	Will you do me the favor to speak to me a few minutes? mdp.39015014147568 Will you have the goodness to say what you mean?"
mdp.39015014147568	With pleasure; but first may I ask for a few minutes'talk over the business of those lands? mdp.39015014147568 Wo n't you say that again?"
mdp.39015014147568	Would you believe him on his oath?
mdp.39015014147568	Would you come in, ma'am, out of the sun?
mdp.39015014147568	Would you like any one who did not think George Trescot a legal angel?
mdp.39015014147568	Would you mind my asking you to tell me something?'' mdp.39015014147568 Would you say three hundred, ma'am?"
mdp.39015014147568	Would you, indeed?
mdp.39015014147568	Yes, am I not?
mdp.39015014147568	You are no doubt right; but what can I do? mdp.39015014147568 You are not hurt?"
mdp.39015014147568	You are well otherwise?
mdp.39015014147568	You want me to find out? mdp.39015014147568 You were wounded, were you not?"
mdp.39015014147568	You will not forget me?
mdp.39015014147568	You will not forget the flowers for Sunday?
mdp.39015014147568	You? mdp.39015014147568 Your name is Thomas Coffin?"
mdp.39015014147568	''And for what?''
mdp.39015014147568	''And you will pay?
mdp.39015014147568	''Answered?''
mdp.39015014147568	''Are you a good shot?''
mdp.39015014147568	''But it is horrible, and what can you do?
mdp.39015014147568	''Can not a man make himself what he really wants to be?"
mdp.39015014147568	''That seems probable,''said Susan, with complete gravity;"but did they agree with you, uncle?"
mdp.39015014147568	''Was he?
mdp.39015014147568	''Well, what then?
mdp.39015014147568	''You were, I believe, on the sixth of June, at the cabin of Thomas Coffin?"
mdp.39015014147568	'Absurd waste of paper,'he says; and then, with his inconsequent felicity,'What would I do if you were dead?'
mdp.39015014147568	188 CONSTANCE TRE8COT Showing him the surveyor's plot, Trescot asked:"Do you understand this map?"
mdp.39015014147568	360 CONSTANCE TBESCOT She laid it down and, looking up, said:"Mrs. Trescot is a friend of yours?"
mdp.39015014147568	42 CONSTANCE TRESCOT"Am I not simple?"
mdp.39015014147568	58 CONSTANCE TRESCOT Constance, thanking her, rose, saying:''You will let me come again?''
mdp.39015014147568	64 CONSTANCE TKESCOT"And for me,"queried Trescot, smiling,"much more risk?"
mdp.39015014147568	A little bourbon?
mdp.39015014147568	A telegram?"
mdp.39015014147568	After the usual preliminaries, Trescot asked:"What do you know of the survey of this tract on the bluff?"
mdp.39015014147568	Am I now breaking under it?
mdp.39015014147568	And Averill?
mdp.39015014147568	And I am forgiven?
mdp.39015014147568	And how am I to do without you?"
mdp.39015014147568	And still Trescot held his tongue; but, as Grey- hurst seemed to pause for a reply, he said:"Well, Mr. Greyhurst, what else?"
mdp.39015014147568	And then she added:"But the things 7 OS CONSTANCE TKESCOT he said — oh, George, do you think you are still in any danger here?
mdp.39015014147568	And was n't it like Susan just to go away and leave us to ourselves, and Mrs. Averill too?"
mdp.39015014147568	And why — shall I dare to say — are old maids good judges of men?"
mdp.39015014147568	And you liked the story?"
mdp.39015014147568	And, after all, if you were an old man like my uncle, would you willingly part with so delightful an inmate as my sister?"
mdp.39015014147568	Ann?"
mdp.39015014147568	Ann?"
mdp.39015014147568	Ann?"
mdp.39015014147568	Another julep, doctor?"
mdp.39015014147568	Any more such wise comments, dear?"
mdp.39015014147568	Are that so?"
mdp.39015014147568	Are we so surprising?"
mdp.39015014147568	Are you ever sorry for things you do?"
mdp.39015014147568	Are you going to stay, ma'am?"
mdp.39015014147568	Are you sure?
mdp.39015014147568	Are you well?"
mdp.39015014147568	As Trescot gave him his left hand he added in a cordial way:"Have you met with an accident?
mdp.39015014147568	As he lingered Constance asked: 4 50 CONSTANCE TRESCOT"What have you to do, George?
mdp.39015014147568	As he rose, Constance said:"You will come again?"
mdp.39015014147568	As she turned aside, repressing the sharp answer she felt inclined to make, Constance said:''Where is 312 CONSTANCE TRESCOT the paper?
mdp.39015014147568	At last Mrs. March said: CONSTANCE TBESCOT 345"Eleanor, I wonder if it is really true?
mdp.39015014147568	At last she said:"What do you suppose he wanted?''
mdp.39015014147568	At last, during a pause in his repetitions, she said:"What do you mean to do about the squatters?"
mdp.39015014147568	At last, one day, the doctor, uneasy at her changeless melan- choly, said to her:''You are better; do you not feel better?"
mdp.39015014147568	At last, one morning, after a natural slumber, she sat up and said to Mrs. Averill:"Where am I?
mdp.39015014147568	But am I to believe, general, that an opponent lawyer deliberately advises an assassination?"
mdp.39015014147568	But have you heard the latest news?"
mdp.39015014147568	But how could she become more reasonably sure of what this man was?
mdp.39015014147568	But it is n't like that — was not that a pure superstition?"
mdp.39015014147568	But what about that time- table?"
mdp.39015014147568	But what is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	But what would be gained by that — by waiting?''
mdp.39015014147568	But, George, do you know that this will be the first time I have ever been present at a church service?"
mdp.39015014147568	CONSTANCE TRESCOT 49 Meanwhile Mrs. Trescot said:"George, did you notice that gentleman?"
mdp.39015014147568	CONSTANCE TRESCOT 9"What had you done?"
mdp.39015014147568	Can I bear this strain?
mdp.39015014147568	Can not you see how I suffer?"
mdp.39015014147568	Can not you wait until the suit for the water- front has been tried?"
mdp.39015014147568	Can revenge bring happi- ness?
mdp.39015014147568	Can you understand that?''
mdp.39015014147568	Coffin?"
mdp.39015014147568	Come, now, what will you take?"
mdp.39015014147568	Constance thought it unlikely, but said languidly:"Have the orphans got over the mumps, or refused hash?"
mdp.39015014147568	Could not you join us later?"
mdp.39015014147568	Could she desire to ask his advice?
mdp.39015014147568	Did Greyhurst know who was behind him?
mdp.39015014147568	Did Mr. Trescot send you?
mdp.39015014147568	Did he tell you that I had said so, and that no reputable gen- tleman in St. Ann would accept the position?"
mdp.39015014147568	Did she recognize the man?
mdp.39015014147568	Did you fetch the Book?
mdp.39015014147568	Did you keep my secret?"
mdp.39015014147568	Did you read to him?''
mdp.39015014147568	Did you shoot him?"
mdp.39015014147568	Did you tell him of this?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do they live near here?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do you all carry revolvers?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do you go armed?"
mdp.39015014147568	Do you like that?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you mean that he is using George because he could get no one else?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you suppose I mean to have a love- sick girl maundering about my house for two years?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you think this kind of thing will go on?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you think, doctor, that he has ever sincerely repented of that awful murder?
mdp.39015014147568	Do you want to stop in Washing- ton on your way North?"
mdp.39015014147568	Does anything worry you?"
mdp.39015014147568	Does he go to any houses?
mdp.39015014147568	Does he live here?"
mdp.39015014147568	Does he visit any one — any woman?''
mdp.39015014147568	Does it not keep in your mind thoughts of a bad man, in place of the beauty and nobleness of the man whose death you wish to avenge?
mdp.39015014147568	Does it or the other trouble represent any probability of mental failure?"
mdp.39015014147568	Does that suit you, Susan?"
mdp.39015014147568	Does this mean any- thing serious — that is what I want to know — this specter — that fear?
mdp.39015014147568	Get any deer?"
mdp.39015014147568	Grey- hurst asked the usual formal questions, and then:"Do you know Thomas Coffin?"
mdp.39015014147568	Had his head been clear of late — his mem- ory unimpaired?
mdp.39015014147568	Has it been disturbed?''
mdp.39015014147568	Has not your open- mindedness left you with the door of the mind very hard to open wide?
mdp.39015014147568	Has uncle told you?''
mdp.39015014147568	Have you never read it?"
mdp.39015014147568	Have you seen Mr. Greyhurst lately?"
mdp.39015014147568	He glanced at her with interest, and returned gaily,"Can a woman?"
mdp.39015014147568	He has given me his own account of it; but it is natural he should make the best of it; and, oh, wo n't you, dear Mrs. Averill — wo n't you help me?
mdp.39015014147568	He laid down the paper, and said:"What does the man mean?
mdp.39015014147568	He lifted a hand in appeal:"God knows, dear, that I feel for you; but what can you do?"
mdp.39015014147568	He looked steadily at the old colonel, and added:"I CONSTANCE TRESCOT 297 hope I make myself understood?"
mdp.39015014147568	He returned earnestly:"May not that give me the privilege of taking with you a liberty greater than our brief acquaintance justifies?"
mdp.39015014147568	He said next, with a certain timidity:"Would you do me the great favor to allow me to refer to you some business matters while I am absent?"
mdp.39015014147568	He said yes; but when a man shot one of your people, what could you do?
mdp.39015014147568	He said,"Are you, indeed?"
mdp.39015014147568	He says would you come and read out of the Bible to him?
mdp.39015014147568	He took it shyly, as she said:"Are you busy all day?"
mdp.39015014147568	He was at once sub- dued, but said:"Then you advise me to settle with them, divide, do something?"
mdp.39015014147568	Her head wabbles about as if she were a feeble chicken, and her nose — did you ever notice her nose?"
mdp.39015014147568	Hood does not own that land?"
mdp.39015014147568	Hood's or Mr. Trescot's envoy, you visited the cabin of Coffin at any other time?"
mdp.39015014147568	Hood?"
mdp.39015014147568	How am I to go away?"
mdp.39015014147568	How are Wilson and Coffin and my cat?
mdp.39015014147568	How can I be without you so long?
mdp.39015014147568	How can I hope to convince him if you failed?"
mdp.39015014147568	How can he be dead?''
mdp.39015014147568	How can he damage us?
mdp.39015014147568	How can you say such things?"
mdp.39015014147568	How could a child accept a creed?
mdp.39015014147568	How could she be certain that he had told her the facts as they had appeared to less par- 354 CONSTANCE TRESCOT tial witnesses?
mdp.39015014147568	How could she, a young woman, enter into it with power to ruin and make him suffer?
mdp.39015014147568	How could that be?
mdp.39015014147568	How could you?''
mdp.39015014147568	How did I know?
mdp.39015014147568	How do you know?
mdp.39015014147568	How does any one know?
mdp.39015014147568	How is poor Wilson?"
mdp.39015014147568	How is she?
mdp.39015014147568	How is the general?''
mdp.39015014147568	How the deuce could she want to come back here?
mdp.39015014147568	How would that do?
mdp.39015014147568	How would this end?
mdp.39015014147568	I hear that the general is ill. Shall you have any other counsel?''
mdp.39015014147568	I heard a man near by say to a younger man:'Did you see that woman?'
mdp.39015014147568	I mean to teach these peo- ple that —""What people?"
mdp.39015014147568	I said to him bluntly:'Why did you try to kill my husband?'
mdp.39015014147568	I said:'Do?
mdp.39015014147568	I sat down at that queer old piano, and what do you think I did?"
mdp.39015014147568	I want 362 CONSTANCE TRESCOT cot's letter on Mrs. Averill's lap, who said inno- cently:"Of course, my dear; what is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	I wonder what St. Paul meant by vain genealogies?"
mdp.39015014147568	If a man was to kill your man, you would n't forgive him, now would you?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is he dead?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is he still?
mdp.39015014147568	Is he waiting for some offer from us?
mdp.39015014147568	Is it I or is it the church that is so restful?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is it never to end?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't it horrid?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that Jupiter, George?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that a form of goodness?
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that a form of secession?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that silly, George?
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that simple enough?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is n't that what is always said, doctor?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is that a riddle, sir?
mdp.39015014147568	Is that all?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is that all?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is that in the Bible?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is that so?
mdp.39015014147568	Is that the whole of our case?
mdp.39015014147568	Is there any doubt about it?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is there anything else I can do for you?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is there anything else?
mdp.39015014147568	Is there such a thing as pure, causeless fear?"
mdp.39015014147568	Is there to be no record?
mdp.39015014147568	It is useless to deny it, and the fact is, Mr.—what is your name?"
mdp.39015014147568	Kent was surprised, and said to himself,"He must have heard, but how could he have heard?"
mdp.39015014147568	Longing to pass on Susan's contributions to her husband, Constance asked:"Whom did you meet there?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I ask if, when you rode out with her to the meeting this afternoon, you were aware that I was to speak?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I ask you if that man is pros- perous, if people have condoned his act?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I ask you to tell me where the Averills live?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I be pardoned if I ask why Mrs. Trescot never comes to church?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I come again?
mdp.39015014147568	May I inquire how many children you have in your home?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I take the journal home?"
mdp.39015014147568	May I tempt you?''
mdp.39015014147568	Miss Bland, who sat on her right, said:"Oh, thank you; and do n't you want to see our printed report?"
mdp.39015014147568	Must this man live and go his way just as before?
mdp.39015014147568	No headaches?"
mdp.39015014147568	No?
mdp.39015014147568	Now, Mr. Andrews, do you know why Coffin killed the man?"
mdp.39015014147568	Or 92 CONSTANCE TRESCOT will you come into the library and see Mrs. Tres- cot?"
mdp.39015014147568	Pity?
mdp.39015014147568	Pres- ently she laid the book beside him, saying: 30 CONSTANCE TRESCOT"Is there anything else?"
mdp.39015014147568	Presently she said:"Will you drive me to the churchyard this after- noon?
mdp.39015014147568	Realizing what must have happened, and not al- together sorry, he said:"What was your trouble, my love?
mdp.39015014147568	Said Constance:"Has your rector, or director, gone?
mdp.39015014147568	Shall I read to you?"
mdp.39015014147568	She hesitated, and then said quickly,"Yes, I will come; but can not his wife read?''
mdp.39015014147568	She made no immediate reply, but after a little CONSTANCE TRESCOT 147 asked inconsequently:"Were you ever afraid, George?"
mdp.39015014147568	She said:"Will you kindly give me a drink of water, and may I sit down?
mdp.39015014147568	She stood still in thought; at last he asked:"Was you worried over that vermin?"
mdp.39015014147568	She walked on in silence, and then returned:"I understand you; but do you think I could ever love you more or better than I do?"
mdp.39015014147568	She was unlikely to re- main; and even if her stay should be long, what did it matter?
mdp.39015014147568	She went out of the room and met her sister, who, seeing her agitation, said:"My dear Conny, what is the matter?"
mdp.39015014147568	Some one named Greyhurst( is n't he one of the claimants?)
mdp.39015014147568	Some one said:"How was it, Greyhurst?
mdp.39015014147568	Something in his gen- eral bearing disturbed her; was it because he looked like some one?
mdp.39015014147568	Suddenly she asked:"And the child?"
mdp.39015014147568	Susan was shocked; but after a moment replied:"Well, why not let her choose her morals?
mdp.39015014147568	The counsel within the rail smiled; the audience tittered; and Greyhurst said angrily:"You may go, do you hear?"
mdp.39015014147568	The general smiled and was dismissed, when Trescot, interposing, said,"Did the Baptistes, at any time since the war, pay taxes?"
mdp.39015014147568	Then Constance said,"How did you live through it?"
mdp.39015014147568	Then another, a shy little old maid, said,'Would you mind playing"My Maryland"?'
mdp.39015014147568	Then she said:"What will you do about this letter — this in- scription?"
mdp.39015014147568	There had been ill feeling between them?
mdp.39015014147568	Think what these people have suffered, and what now have they left, except splendid memories and a song?
mdp.39015014147568	This is Saturday, is n't it?"
mdp.39015014147568	Those which were blazed?"
mdp.39015014147568	To whom could she pray?
mdp.39015014147568	Trescot thanked him and said:"You will do no- thing with Hood; but could not we do something with these men if you and I saw them together?"
mdp.39015014147568	Trescot?"
mdp.39015014147568	Trescot?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was Mr. Tres- cot a man to — to provoke or grossly insult another?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was he about to be ill?
mdp.39015014147568	Was he trying to scare me, or was it a game of bluff?
mdp.39015014147568	Was it a symptom of some impending mental dis- aster?
mdp.39015014147568	Was it on the sixth of June?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was that all?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was that — that man ever tried?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was there anything else?"
mdp.39015014147568	Was this a time for deceit?
mdp.39015014147568	Well, what else?''
mdp.39015014147568	Well, you'll come soon?
mdp.39015014147568	Were you at the meeting?"
mdp.39015014147568	Were you ever in the Con- federate service?"
mdp.39015014147568	Were you ever shot at?"
mdp.39015014147568	Were you hurt in the war?
mdp.39015014147568	What am I to read to a dying man?
mdp.39015014147568	What brought you here, Constance?''
mdp.39015014147568	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015014147568	What can Ido?"
mdp.39015014147568	What can you do?
mdp.39015014147568	What can you find to talk about?
mdp.39015014147568	What did Mrs. Trescot say to you, and what did you say to her?"
mdp.39015014147568	What did he do?"
mdp.39015014147568	What did it mean?
mdp.39015014147568	What did she say first?"
mdp.39015014147568	What did you say?"
mdp.39015014147568	What do you mean?
mdp.39015014147568	What do you talk about?"
mdp.39015014147568	What does that mean?"
mdp.39015014147568	What else is there in your sister's letter?"
mdp.39015014147568	What else is there?"
mdp.39015014147568	What else is there?"
mdp.39015014147568	What else was said?''
mdp.39015014147568	What had the devil's minute brought?
mdp.39015014147568	What have you done to him, Conny?"
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	What is it?"
mdp.39015014147568	What now did he dread?
mdp.39015014147568	What was that, George?
mdp.39015014147568	What were his thoughts?
mdp.39015014147568	What would George have said?
mdp.39015014147568	What would she say?
mdp.39015014147568	What would she think?
mdp.39015014147568	What would the"years of God"bring?
mdp.39015014147568	What would you be or become?
mdp.39015014147568	What would you do?"
mdp.39015014147568	What's that about the Holy Ghost?
mdp.39015014147568	What, love?"
mdp.39015014147568	When they were seated she said promptly:"And now, my dear, what can I do for you?"
mdp.39015014147568	When they were seated, Trescot said:"Do you want it now in black and white?"
mdp.39015014147568	When will I come?
mdp.39015014147568	When will it be over?"
mdp.39015014147568	Where else could she go?
mdp.39015014147568	Where now is your mind absent?
mdp.39015014147568	Where, he asked, did it begin — at what points?
mdp.39015014147568	Who is in danger?"
mdp.39015014147568	Who said that, George?
mdp.39015014147568	Who was it ran from an unarmed man?"
mdp.39015014147568	Who was it?"
mdp.39015014147568	Whom did you meet?"
mdp.39015014147568	Why can not he get a preacher?
mdp.39015014147568	Why did men confess to her?
mdp.39015014147568	Why do n't you answer?
mdp.39015014147568	Why do n't you ask me what you said to me about Mr. Trescot the week before I told about the trees?"
mdp.39015014147568	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015014147568	Why in- sist on her being, as a child, truthful, and charit- able?
mdp.39015014147568	Why insist on good manners?
mdp.39015014147568	Why not?
mdp.39015014147568	Why not?
mdp.39015014147568	Why should I be shot at?"
mdp.39015014147568	Will he live here?
mdp.39015014147568	Will it not serve only to keep open wounds which ought to close?
mdp.39015014147568	Will not that put an end to your sister's strange conduct?"
mdp.39015014147568	Will she die?
mdp.39015014147568	Will this trial last two days?''
mdp.39015014147568	Will you allow me to say one thing?"
mdp.39015014147568	Will you do as George wants, or will you not?"
mdp.39015014147568	Will you keep it to yourself?"
mdp.39015014147568	Wo n't you tell me all about what you and General Averill think should guide me?
mdp.39015014147568	Would I wish him to change?
mdp.39015014147568	Would every one be as kind as Mrs. Averill?
mdp.39015014147568	Would he forgive me?
mdp.39015014147568	Would such an hour ever come to her?
mdp.39015014147568	Would you read some?"
mdp.39015014147568	You have given me yourself — how can I ask more?
mdp.39015014147568	You have pledged me without thought to what your uncle will never agree to do; and the money — where is it to come from?"
mdp.39015014147568	You will come again, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015014147568	You will let him settle with the squatters?"
mdp.39015014147568	You wo n't mind, will you?
mdp.39015014147568	and how can I live here with the chance of having you brought home to me dead?
mdp.39015014147568	have you no pity?
mdp.39015014147568	he exclaimed,"who told you that?"
mdp.39015014147568	he murmured,"who can that be?
mdp.39015014147568	what am I saying?"
mdp.39015035824963	An accident?
mdp.39015035824963	And now wo n't we go to the fire and be cosy?
mdp.39015035824963	Are n't we happy,he said, pausing in his kisses to gaze down at what was now his face, for was it not much more his than hers?
mdp.39015035824963	Are they going to run away?
mdp.39015035824963	Are you deaf, woman?
mdp.39015035824963	Are you so hot?
mdp.39015035824963	Been there?
mdp.39015035824963	But ca n't it be unsettled?
mdp.39015035824963	But does n't that rather discourage people?
mdp.39015035824963	But what would I have done without you?
mdp.39015035824963	But why do n't we go back now, if you feel like it?
mdp.39015035824963	But wo n't the tea get cold?
mdp.39015035824963	Buts again?
mdp.39015035824963	Ca n't we — don't we — have coffee in the hall?
mdp.39015035824963	Ca n't you leave it alone?
mdp.39015035824963	Change my room? mdp.39015035824963 Choked?"
mdp.39015035824963	Come along — but is n't it a jolly window, little Love?
mdp.39015035824963	Did it seem insolent? mdp.39015035824963 Did you say fried soles?"
mdp.39015035824963	Did you say we?
mdp.39015035824963	Did you shoot them all yourself?
mdp.39015035824963	Do n't you read newspapers here?
mdp.39015035824963	Do n't you see there's a button off?
mdp.39015035824963	Do n't you think that's a good place to have a gong?
mdp.39015035824963	Do they?
mdp.39015035824963	Do what?
mdp.39015035824963	Do you follow me?
mdp.39015035824963	Do you know who you've married?
mdp.39015035824963	Do you mind very much going up to the sitting- room?
mdp.39015035824963	Done? mdp.39015035824963 Eh?"
mdp.39015035824963	Even when we're visibly col- lected?
mdp.39015035824963	Everard, how can you say such a thing?
mdp.39015035824963	Good Lord,he said, looking at his watch,"it'll 240 VERA"Who's got a forgiving husband?"
mdp.39015035824963	Hadn't — hadn't the window better be shut?
mdp.39015035824963	Has your temperature been taken?
mdp.39015035824963	Has your trouble anything to do with — death?
mdp.39015035824963	Have n't you done yet?
mdp.39015035824963	Have you got to go into that bedroom too?
mdp.39015035824963	Have you lost any- thing?
mdp.39015035824963	How can I remember? mdp.39015035824963 How dare you stand there in my own house talking to me of Vera?"
mdp.39015035824963	How do you propose to set about it?
mdp.39015035824963	How long has he been there?
mdp.39015035824963	How old are you?
mdp.39015035824963	I hope it was n't anybody you — loved?
mdp.39015035824963	I suppose you know you're taking a great deal upon yourself unasked"What? mdp.39015035824963 I think that was rather amusing — don't you?"
mdp.39015035824963	I'm sorry, sir,she panted, her hand on her chest,"I was changing my dress""Shut the door, ca n't you?"
mdp.39015035824963	Is it possible,she thought,"that I am abject?"
mdp.39015035824963	Is life all — only death?
mdp.39015035824963	Is n't it your business to attend to this room?
mdp.39015035824963	Is n't this as it should be? mdp.39015035824963 Is that you, Aunt Dot?"
mdp.39015035824963	Is that your father?
mdp.39015035824963	Kiss me, wo n't you, Everard? mdp.39015035824963 Kiss you?"
mdp.39015035824963	Lord, you do n't suppose I shall want to play bridge now that I've got you?
mdp.39015035824963	Miss who? mdp.39015035824963 Mr — Mr — We — We — Wemyss""Wemyss?
mdp.39015035824963	Must you really go away?
mdp.39015035824963	My bedroom? mdp.39015035824963 My doctor?"
mdp.39015035824963	My little love is n't going to do anything that spoils her Everard's plans after all the trouble he has taken?
mdp.39015035824963	Not an illness?
mdp.39015035824963	Not yet?
mdp.39015035824963	Nothing serious, I hope?
mdp.39015035824963	Now was n't I right?
mdp.39015035824963	Now what has the little thing got into its head this time?
mdp.39015035824963	Oh Everard — what is it?
mdp.39015035824963	Oh Everard — what is it?
mdp.39015035824963	Oh Everard —she said,"not even me?"
mdp.39015035824963	Oh Everard,she said, her cheek against his,"do you think we're really old enough to marry?"
mdp.39015035824963	Oh, Everard — have you actually ordered tur- keys?
mdp.39015035824963	Oh, but I did n't mean"What? mdp.39015035824963 Oh?"
mdp.39015035824963	Or, rather, what do you not see?
mdp.39015035824963	Ought n't you—after another pause—"to see a doctor?"
mdp.39015035824963	People? mdp.39015035824963 Shall I pour it out?"
mdp.39015035824963	Shall I pour out the tea?
mdp.39015035824963	Shall we go into the drawing- room?
mdp.39015035824963	She refused to?
mdp.39015035824963	Then ought n't it to have been called The Cows?
mdp.39015035824963	Then why not stay here?
mdp.39015035824963	There's only one way of looking at a thing, and that's the right way,as he said,"so what's the good of such a lot of talk?"
mdp.39015035824963	Time?
mdp.39015035824963	Used you to travel much?
mdp.39015035824963	Was she — very ill?
mdp.39015035824963	We?
mdp.39015035824963	Well, whose fault is it we have n't been alone to- gether all this time?
mdp.39015035824963	What are you thinking of?
mdp.39015035824963	What do you not see?
mdp.39015035824963	What do you see?
mdp.39015035824963	What do you see?
mdp.39015035824963	What has she done?
mdp.39015035824963	What is it, Everard?
mdp.39015035824963	What is it, Lucy?
mdp.39015035824963	What is it, little Love?
mdp.39015035824963	What is to- morrow?
mdp.39015035824963	What is wonderful?
mdp.39015035824963	What sort of an accident?
mdp.39015035824963	What would I have done without you?
mdp.39015035824963	What's the matter?
mdp.39015035824963	What, and upset all the plans, and arrive home before my birthday?
mdp.39015035824963	What, in August?
mdp.39015035824963	What? mdp.39015035824963 What?
mdp.39015035824963	What? mdp.39015035824963 What?
mdp.39015035824963	What? mdp.39015035824963 Which of all these do you like best?"
mdp.39015035824963	Who cares? mdp.39015035824963 Who cares?"
mdp.39015035824963	Who is that?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's another baby?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's my duddely- umpty little girl?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's my pretty little girl?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's my pretty little girl?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's my very own baby?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's that?
mdp.39015035824963	Who's what?
mdp.39015035824963	Who?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did she refuse?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did you give her such a dreadful scolding?
mdp.39015035824963	Why does n't she leave off?
mdp.39015035824963	Why is tea in the library?
mdp.39015035824963	Why is there no fish?
mdp.39015035824963	Why not to the mulberry tree?
mdp.39015035824963	Why the devil do n't you go and fetch that button?
mdp.39015035824963	Why was your name on posters?
mdp.39015035824963	Why, where? How?
mdp.39015035824963	Why, where? How?
mdp.39015035824963	Why, you do n't suppose anything else would reduce me to the state I'm in?
mdp.39015035824963	Why? mdp.39015035824963 Why?"
mdp.39015035824963	With me or with Lucy?
mdp.39015035824963	Without my hat, Everard?
mdp.39015035824963	Wo n't it rather be a lesson to us?
mdp.39015035824963	Wo n't it — be draughty?
mdp.39015035824963	Wo n't we be happy when it's time to go back to England and not have to see any more sights?
mdp.39015035824963	Wo n't you wear it out?
mdp.39015035824963	Would it?
mdp.39015035824963	Would n't you like me to read aloud to you a little while before you go back to bed?
mdp.39015035824963	Yes what?
mdp.39015035824963	You admit you've been deliberately wicked?
mdp.39015035824963	You do think it's a jolly window, do n't you, little Love?
mdp.39015035824963	You know I ca n't bear it, I ca n't bear it if we quarrel"Then what do you mean by saying'Oh yes,'in that insolent manner?
mdp.39015035824963	You mean she painted it?
mdp.39015035824963	You mean—she could hardly get herself to men- tion the fatal things—"you mean — the window?"
mdp.39015035824963	You? mdp.39015035824963 You?
mdp.39015035824963	'Yes, but?'"
mdp.39015035824963	( Was this same parlourmaid here in Vera's time?
mdp.39015035824963	... And that, for instance?
mdp.39015035824963	... Now where did that come from?
mdp.39015035824963	... Then — what was he saying?
mdp.39015035824963	... Was there anything in the world so blackly desolate as to be left alone in grief?

mdp.39015035824963	216 VERA"By the way, who ordered the fire?"
mdp.39015035824963	And Lucy said, How was it possible to misunderstand him, to misunderstand any one so transparently good, so evidently kind?
mdp.39015035824963	And having ruined it, what did she care?
mdp.39015035824963	And how, in what words sufficiently tactful, sufficiently gentle, would she be able to avoid his being offended?
mdp.39015035824963	And the expression of her mouth,—what had she been trying not to laugh at that day?
mdp.39015035824963	And what was she going to do?
mdp.39015035824963	And who spoils his little woman? ” Before she could answer, he loosened her hand from his neck and said, “ Come and look at yourself in the glass.
mdp.39015035824963	And who were the people?
mdp.39015035824963	And who's got a sitting- room all for herself, just as jolly?
mdp.39015035824963	And why should it come at all?
mdp.39015035824963	Another but?"
mdp.39015035824963	Are n't they a set, little Love?"
mdp.39015035824963	Are n't they a set?
mdp.39015035824963	Are n't you my wife?"
mdp.39015035824963	As though it had n't been terrible enough already""The inquest?"
mdp.39015035824963	Aunt Dot, what's the use?"
mdp.39015035824963	Besides, are n't you dying to see our bedroom?"
mdp.39015035824963	Besides, she was certainly going to have to live at The Willows, so what was the use of talking?
mdp.39015035824963	Besides, why should she sleep in broad daylight?
mdp.39015035824963	But had the child strength?
mdp.39015035824963	But how could she know?
mdp.39015035824963	But resting on what?
mdp.39015035824963	But to- morrow,—what would happen to- mor- row, when all these people had gone away again?
mdp.39015035824963	But were those dear eyes intelligent enough?
mdp.39015035824963	But where could she go?
mdp.39015035824963	But where's the place?"
mdp.39015035824963	But would she, herself, pres- ently be photographed too and enlarged and hung there?
mdp.39015035824963	But — have I got to go into that bedroom too?"
mdp.39015035824963	Ca n't possibly?"
mdp.39015035824963	Ca n't you see?"
mdp.39015035824963	Come in now""And — look, what are those bare things without any leaves yet?"
mdp.39015035824963	Did all engagements pursue such a turbulent course?
mdp.39015035824963	Did n't Aunt Dot think it was a great thing to know one's own mind?
mdp.39015035824963	Did n't I tell you to be careful?
mdp.39015035824963	Did n't Og the King of Bashan have one?
mdp.39015035824963	Did n't it cut one off from growth?
mdp.39015035824963	Did n't it shut one in an isolation?
mdp.39015035824963	Do you hear that?
mdp.39015035824963	Do you mind if I tell you?
mdp.39015035824963	Do you remember how we set our clocks by him when he came to tea in Eaton Terrace?"
mdp.39015035824963	Do you suppose I'd tolerate windows in my house that let in draughts?"
mdp.39015035824963	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015035824963	Doubling seemed the proper, even the symbolic expression of his feelings, for was n't he soon going to be doubled himself?
mdp.39015035824963	Eighteen?
mdp.39015035824963	Else how could she have married Wemyss?
mdp.39015035824963	Escaped your memory?
mdp.39015035824963	Everard — he could n't have meant- he did n't mean — what would he think- what would he think- oh, where was that handle?
mdp.39015035824963	Everard — where was her Everard?
mdp.39015035824963	Forgot about his birthday?
mdp.39015035824963	Good heavens, he thought, did she think he was talking about Vera?
mdp.39015035824963	Had Jim known?
mdp.39015035824963	Had she by any chance got religion?
mdp.39015035824963	Had she the smallest natural gift for them?
mdp.39015035824963	Have you forgotten?"
mdp.39015035824963	He repeated, staring,"Fifteen years this time?"
mdp.39015035824963	How can I know them when I've only just come?"
mdp.39015035824963	How could he be happy, as happy as that all in a moment?
mdp.39015035824963	How could you bring a girl like Lucy — any young wife — to this house?
mdp.39015035824963	How long has it been made?"
mdp.39015035824963	How long was it 217 VERA 219 offending, but fear?
mdp.39015035824963	How old was she?
mdp.39015035824963	How was that?
mdp.39015035824963	I agree with Napoleon, who said concerning the French Revolution,'II awrait faMu mitrailler cette canaiVLe?
mdp.39015035824963	I think they did it very well, do n't you little Love?"
mdp.39015035824963	I've ordered""What?
mdp.39015035824963	If it had been Vera, now — but Lucy?
mdp.39015035824963	If she had discovered, how had she discovered?
mdp.39015035824963	If you had fifty aunts, all being upset, what would it matter?
mdp.39015035824963	Instead of wobbling about, wasting one's thoughts and energies on side- shows?
mdp.39015035824963	Is n't it a fine gong?
mdp.39015035824963	Is n't it jolly being so close to it?
mdp.39015035824963	It was natural; but would he think so?
mdp.39015035824963	It was so vital that he should under- VERA 311"The staying power of?"
mdp.39015035824963	Just you and me, and nobody to watch or interfere?"
mdp.39015035824963	Lucy had forgotten?
mdp.39015035824963	Miss Ent- whistle therefore merely echoed, as she herself felt foolishly,"No?"
mdp.39015035824963	Now is n't this a fine room?
mdp.39015035824963	On that last of his birthdays at which Vera would ever be present, did any thought of his next birthday cross her mind?
mdp.39015035824963	Ostend, for instance?
mdp.39015035824963	Ought n't it to have been?"
mdp.39015035824963	Pres- ently, of course, he would n't be a strange husband, he would be a familiar husband; but would he be any the better for that?
mdp.39015035824963	Sexual allurements?
mdp.39015035824963	She is n't coming up?
mdp.39015035824963	She might be too morbid, but was n't it possible to be too wholesome?
mdp.39015035824963	She must get in- before he came — what had possessed her?
mdp.39015035824963	She's to come up for all that as arranged, tell her, and if she needs doctors there are more of them here anyhow than — what?
mdp.39015035824963	Surely the right thing to do was to shut the window before Lizzie opened the door and caused a second convulsion?
mdp.39015035824963	The beasts they belonged to?
mdp.39015035824963	The doctor?
mdp.39015035824963	Then he noticed she had a knitted scarf round her shoulders, and he said,"Whatever have you got that thing on in here for?"
mdp.39015035824963	Then she said,''Is n't it nearly tea- time?"
mdp.39015035824963	There's no river like it in the world, is there, little Love?
mdp.39015035824963	They shall be stopped out of your Lucy, where are you going?"
mdp.39015035824963	This convulsed stranger — was he real?
mdp.39015035824963	Twenty- eight?
mdp.39015035824963	VERA 177"But what will you do with me, who do n't play bridge?"
mdp.39015035824963	VERA 235 “ Yes sir? ” she said.
mdp.39015035824963	VERA 69"What did she die of?"
mdp.39015035824963	VERA 81"What do you say?
mdp.39015035824963	Vera"Who is Vera?"
mdp.39015035824963	Was anything real?
mdp.39015035824963	Was ever a girl so much loved?
mdp.39015035824963	Was it possible, thought Lucy, her eyes carefully on her toast and butter, that Aunt Dot suspected?
mdp.39015035824963	Was n't it nature's own protection against too much death?
mdp.39015035824963	Was n't it, frankly, rather like death?
mdp.39015035824963	Was n't there much in what that short- haired child was so passionately saying about the lightness, the saneness, of reaction from horror?
mdp.39015035824963	Was not sweetness really far more manifest in them than intelligence?
mdp.39015035824963	Was she changing her dress too?
mdp.39015035824963	Was she really only a conventional spinster, shrinking back shocked at a touch of naked naturalness?
mdp.39015035824963	Was the story of Balaam to be reversed, and the angel be held up by the donkey?
mdp.39015035824963	Well, if he had a temper how could he help it?
mdp.39015035824963	Well, if the parlourmaid did n't mind, and Everard did n't mind, why should she mind?
mdp.39015035824963	Wemyss?"
mdp.39015035824963	Wemyss?"
mdp.39015035824963	Wemyss?"
mdp.39015035824963	Wemyss?"
mdp.39015035824963	What can it matter to us?"
mdp.39015035824963	What could she do with Everard?
mdp.39015035824963	What could she do, what could she say to help him, to soften at least these dreadful memories?
mdp.39015035824963	What could she possibly be, compared to Lucy's own Everard?
mdp.39015035824963	What did he mean?
mdp.39015035824963	What did it matter if they were n't the sort of houses you would, left to yourself, choose so long as in them dwelt happiness?
mdp.39015035824963	What did it matter what their past had been so long as their present was illuminated by contentment?
mdp.39015035824963	What did it matter whether she sat under the mulberry tree or stood at the gate?
mdp.39015035824963	What did it matter?
mdp.39015035824963	What did the woman mean by coming in like that?"
mdp.39015035824963	What do you think of it?"
mdp.39015035824963	What does anything else matter?
mdp.39015035824963	What had her aunt been about?
mdp.39015035824963	What had she against him?
mdp.39015035824963	What illness was it?"
mdp.39015035824963	What is he besides being a widower?"
mdp.39015035824963	What is she for, I should like to know?"
mdp.39015035824963	What room?"
mdp.39015035824963	What was an aunt after all?
mdp.39015035824963	What was he really like?
mdp.39015035824963	What was he saying?
mdp.39015035824963	What was she doing?
mdp.39015035824963	What was the point of it?
mdp.39015035824963	What were they?
mdp.39015035824963	What would be the effect on her of this final blow?
mdp.39015035824963	What would have happened if he had?
mdp.39015035824963	What, indeed, when such sweet means of communion existed, was the good of a lot of talk?
mdp.39015035824963	What, pray, do you mean now?"
mdp.39015035824963	What?"
mdp.39015035824963	What?"
mdp.39015035824963	When and bow could she talk to him about things like this?
mdp.39015035824963	When there is n't any breakfast?"
mdp.39015035824963	When would he be in such a mood that she would be able to do so without making them worse?
mdp.39015035824963	Where and with whom could she be so happy as with him?
mdp.39015035824963	Where are those flowers?"
mdp.39015035824963	Where did he suppose she was?
mdp.39015035824963	Where had he dropped from?
mdp.39015035824963	Where in heaven's name was her mind wandering to?
mdp.39015035824963	Where in the whole house was any refuge, any comfort?
mdp.39015035824963	Where was she running VERA 185 to?
mdp.39015035824963	Where was the handle?
mdp.39015035824963	Where would one be without them and bathrooms, — places of legitimate lockings- in, places even the most indignant host was bound to respect?
mdp.39015035824963	Where?
mdp.39015035824963	Where?"
mdp.39015035824963	Who is it?"
mdp.39015035824963	Who was this middle- aged, prosperous outsider who had got hold of Jim's daughter?
mdp.39015035824963	Why Elgar?
mdp.39015035824963	Why could n't she be at least as wholesome about going to that house as Everard?
mdp.39015035824963	Why could n't she come down and apologise properly dressed?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did Lucy want just those, and look so odd and guilty about it?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did n't Everard say what he wanted, instead of leaving her to guess?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did n't he come and take care of her?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did n't the parlourmaid come?
mdp.39015035824963	Why did n't you call me?
mdp.39015035824963	Why do you think I've changed it?"
mdp.39015035824963	Why should Miss Entwhistle suppose he had never particularly loved anybody?
mdp.39015035824963	Why should he be left like that to be miserable, just because of a lot of clothes and papers?
mdp.39015035824963	Why should she have been defeated?
mdp.39015035824963	Why should she have given up?
mdp.39015035824963	Why should she have to read Vera's books?
mdp.39015035824963	Why should they be condemned to search for relief separately?
mdp.39015035824963	Why should they wait any longer?
mdp.39015035824963	Why state it?"
mdp.39015035824963	Why stick to that absurd convention of the widower's year?
mdp.39015035824963	Why, thought Lucy, uncon- sciously nodding proud agreement, did n't people have goodwill and a little common sense?
mdp.39015035824963	Why, what will the child think?"
mdp.39015035824963	Wo n't we kiss and be friends?"
mdp.39015035824963	Would a really devoted wife?
mdp.39015035824963	Would a really loving woman be able to do that?
mdp.39015035824963	Would it ever have occurred to her to mind, to feel it as a grievance?
mdp.39015035824963	Would n't she hate it if she thought he pitied her for her failings?
mdp.39015035824963	Would she not have been filled with tender- ness for his lameness if he had happened to be born 194- VERA like that?
mdp.39015035824963	Would the house up there be shut, and he, Wemyss, left alone again with his bitter, miserable recollections?
mdp.39015035824963	Would they take Lucy and the aunt with them?
mdp.39015035824963	Yes, are n't they?
mdp.39015035824963	You do n't mean to say you want people already?"
mdp.39015035824963	You still here?"
mdp.39015035824963	You're send- ing for the doctor?"
mdp.39015035824963	suppose a question should get into her head whether perhaps, after all, Vera's death?
mdp.39015035824963	“ About my wife's? ” “ Yes,"said Miss Entwhistle, very earnestly.
mdp.39015035824963	“ But it was n't? ” “ How could it be?
mdp.39015035824963	“ But it was n't? ” “ How could it be?
mdp.39015035824963	“ Can you wonder if I'm nearly off my head?
mdp.39015035824963	“ Is n't it a jolly room?"
mdp.39015035824963	“ Still there? ” he asked; and Lucy said she was.
mdp.39015035824963	“ The cause of death? ” echoed Lucy.
mdp.39015035824963	“ Waiting?"
mdp.39015035824963	“ Well? ” he said again.
mdp.39015035824963	“ Well? ” he said.
mdp.39015035824963	“ What is it, Everard? ” “ I'm waiting, ” he said.
mdp.39015035824963	“ Who's got far and away the best bedroom in Strorley?
mdp.39015036870296	A mummy? mdp.39015036870296 And in the meantime? ” asked the old man.
mdp.39015036870296	Have you opened it? ” he asked Davis. mdp.39015036870296 I was just going to send after you, ” A KING IN BABYLON 275 “ Faint?"
mdp.39015036870296	Is it so, Mustafa? ” Creel demanded. mdp.39015036870296 Is it time for lunch? ” and Davis looked up in surprise."
mdp.39015036870296	Is it you? ” he muttered. mdp.39015036870296 Is it — is it still coming?"
mdp.39015036870296	Is she French? ” “ Yes — and exactly the type I want! mdp.39015036870296 Iss anything else required, saars? ” he asked, looking around at us.
mdp.39015036870296	It has n't hurt anybody yet. ” “ How about Jimmy? ”. mdp.39015036870296 It is n't a real mummy?"
mdp.39015036870296	Oh, what's the use of trying to bluff me?
mdp.39015036870296	Splendid, is n't it? ” I said, reining nearer to her. mdp.39015036870296 Well,"said Ma Creel, “ what was it about?
mdp.39015036870296	What the deuce is the matter with those fel- lows? mdp.39015036870296 What's what? ” I asked, staring too, but seeing nothing but the empty waste.
mdp.39015036870296	Why the inclined plane? ” I questioned. mdp.39015036870296 100 A KING IN BABYLON “ The stuff they eat is included in the twenty- five hundred?
mdp.39015036870296	12 A KING IN BABYLON “ Who'll I get in place of them?"
mdp.39015036870296	268 A KING IN BABYLON “ Is it?"
mdp.39015036870296	A KING IN BABYLON 213 “ Is that the mystery you were talking about?"
mdp.39015036870296	A KING IN BABYLON 255 “ Did you not hear them?
mdp.39015036870296	A KING IN BABYLON 365 “ How do you know?
mdp.39015036870296	After all, what did it matter?
mdp.39015036870296	And Creel?
mdp.39015036870296	And he ventured a kindly word of advice: the Apex people were putting out stuff with pep in it why not take the cue from them?
mdp.39015036870296	And then he's rather mad about that Frenchwoman, is n't he? ” “ You mean his mind is gone? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	And then he's rather mad about that Frenchwoman, is n't he? ” “ You mean his mind is gone? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	And then, after a moment, “ Would you like to see her?"
mdp.39015036870296	And then, in a lower tone, “ Did you feel it?"
mdp.39015036870296	And you forgive me?"
mdp.39015036870296	Anybody else? ”"No — nobody but people we've got.
mdp.39015036870296	Are n't you? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	Are you coming, Jimmy?"
mdp.39015036870296	Are you coming? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	Are you ready, Billy?
mdp.39015036870296	Are you ready, Billy?"
mdp.39015036870296	Besides, if the pun- ishment was deserved..."“ But suppose he found out it was n't? ” “ He might regret his haste.
mdp.39015036870296	But I've seen no signs of her, so I guess she cleared out. ” “ And how are the ruins?"
mdp.39015036870296	But go ahead, professor, and tell us some more.. What is a Copt, anyway?"
mdp.39015036870296	But had she?
mdp.39015036870296	But he was evidently shaken — and I could n't see any spur... “ Did I? ” sneered Jimmy.
mdp.39015036870296	But how could I get the atmosphere, the color, the wind through the palms, the desert perfume, the sound of that weird chant?
mdp.39015036870296	But suddenly I woke up, with a sense of something ghastly standing right there by my cot. ” “ Well, was there? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	But what could it be that he and Mustafa were discussing so earnestly?
mdp.39015036870296	But what good would it do to steal anything out here?
mdp.39015036870296	But what was it he feared?
mdp.39015036870296	But where did he get that story?"
mdp.39015036870296	By George, it was a strenuous afternoon- eh, Digby?"
mdp.39015036870296	Ca n't you hear her? ” Yes, I could hear her — that deep, regular breath- ing might have been an echo of Jimmy's.
mdp.39015036870296	Canne vas A KING IN BABYLON 143 “ What's the matter? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	Could it be that she was addicted to some drug?
mdp.39015036870296	Could that be the explanation of her pale face and languid air and lack- lustre eyes?
mdp.39015036870296	Do n't you want to go over?"
mdp.39015036870296	Do you know anything about masonry? ” “ I know enough to pull off this job, ” Digby as- sured him.
mdp.39015036870296	Do you really think it is just the heat, Professor? ” Davis was combing his beard thoughtfully.
mdp.39015036870296	Do you really think th is is it?"
mdp.39015036870296	Do you think-- it was — just acting? ” “ No,"said Creel shortly.
mdp.39015036870296	Do you? ” “ I do n't know,"said Creel, slowly.
mdp.39015036870296	Do you?"
mdp.39015036870296	Even with the best will in the world, how, he has demanded, could he find time for such a task?
mdp.39015036870296	Ever since I stumbled over you and Mustafa back yonder. ” “ Have you — have you seen anyone?"
mdp.39015036870296	For God's sake, what's the matter, Creel? ” “ There's something here! ” he breathed, and his grip tightened.
mdp.39015036870296	Got any idea? ” re A KING IN BABYLON 15 Creel's face, which had been overcast, suddenly lighted up.
mdp.39015036870296	Had he really rolled himself in his blankets on the ground, in order to guard his treasure?
mdp.39015036870296	Had the same thought occurred to him, I wondered, that had occurred to me?
mdp.39015036870296	Have you been over there?
mdp.39015036870296	Have you not seen it?"
mdp.39015036870296	How about it?"
mdp.39015036870296	How could you do it, Mollie?"
mdp.39015036870296	How did you get permission?"
mdp.39015036870296	How do you feel? ” “ Like a new man! ” said Jimmy.
mdp.39015036870296	How long does it take to get to this oasis?"
mdp.39015036870296	How much did you lose on'The Soul of Rachel'?
mdp.39015036870296	How was it going to end?
mdp.39015036870296	I could n't budge them. ” “ What was the matter? ” “ Some ignorant superstition.
mdp.39015036870296	I delivered Mollie, half- fainting, into Ma Creel's arms... “ Where's Davis?"
mdp.39015036870296	I hope you do n't mind?".
mdp.39015036870296	I'll make up my mind to- morrow. ” “ I suppose you know I'm going? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	I'll work out the details on the way over. ” “ The way over where? ” asked the old man.
mdp.39015036870296	I've never drawn you on I've never given you any hope! ” “ Is n't there any hope, Mollie? ” I asked huskily.
mdp.39015036870296	IUN was 188 A KING IN BABYLON “ Is there anything we can do for him?"
mdp.39015036870296	If any catastrophe does happen..."“ Well?"
mdp.39015036870296	Is n't Mustafa gorgeous? ” And just then Jimmy came out, and I heard the gasp which ran around the group of natives when they saw him.
mdp.39015036870296	Is the Princess still asleep?"."
mdp.39015036870296	Is there any danger of these cut- throats murdering us some night? ” he added, casting his eyes over the motley crowd.
mdp.39015036870296	It almost made me pro- German! ” “ What happened to the Arabs? ” questioned Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	It was almost like those shadowed days in the desert... “ Do you know the position of that oasis?
mdp.39015036870296	It's a great chance, but if you do n't want to go...""Is Mollie going?"
mdp.39015036870296	It's an oasis, is n't it? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	Just get that firmly in your head, will you?".
mdp.39015036870296	May I see you again to- night, Mollie?"
mdp.39015036870296	Only remember, he's Irish! ” “ Are Irishmen so dangerous? ” Creel laughed.
mdp.39015036870296	Ready?
mdp.39015036870296	Ro- land all right? ” he asked carelessly “ She fainted,"said Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	Roland did not smile — did not even lis- tèn?
mdp.39015036870296	Roland is sleeping, too? ” asked Davis, who was scrabbling thoughtfully at his beard.
mdp.39015036870296	Roland want to go wandering off through dream- land together, why need we care?
mdp.39015036870296	Roland? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	Roland?"
mdp.39015036870296	Said you were quite enough for her! ” “ Did she? ” I said grimly.
mdp.39015036870296	She got up and peeped in to see if you were asleep, and you woke up just as she let the flap fall..."“ Why should she have done that?"
mdp.39015036870296	She's aching to get at me! ” “ Love? ” queried Davis.
mdp.39015036870296	The lore of ancient Egypt, its customs and superstitions?
mdp.39015036870296	There have been too many things..."“ Things like — like those we saw?"
mdp.39015036870296	Twenty thou- sand? ” “ All of that."
mdp.39015036870296	Was it often done? ”"It was the usual punishment for certain crimes,"said Davis.
mdp.39015036870296	Was n't he over at the ruins with you? ” “ Yes; but he left before we did.
mdp.39015036870296	We wo n't have any rest till you do! ” “ Why do n't you write it?"
mdp.39015036870296	Well, has he seen her? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	Were you going to take a picture?"
mdp.39015036870296	What are you going to do next?
mdp.39015036870296	What are you up to?"
mdp.39015036870296	What could happen to it?
mdp.39015036870296	What did all this stuff cost? ”"About twenty- five hundred dollars.
mdp.39015036870296	What did anything matter?
mdp.39015036870296	What did he say?"
mdp.39015036870296	What do we pay these brigands?"
mdp.39015036870296	What do you think of the first nugget?"
mdp.39015036870296	What dread- ful thing would happen to him there?
mdp.39015036870296	What is it I am to do?"
mdp.39015036870296	What made that bruise on her cheek? ” “ I guess she struck it when she fainted, ” said Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	What right have you to plaster me with'Do n't Touch'signs?
mdp.39015036870296	What the devil is that? ” he added, for from the direction of the native camp the night wind bore to our ears a sound as of a low crooning.
mdp.39015036870296	What was going to happen?
mdp.39015036870296	What was it?".
mdp.39015036870296	What were you going to do to- night? ”"I was coming over to see how that'Red Cloak'picture turned out.
mdp.39015036870296	What would happen to him there?
mdp.39015036870296	What's going to happen? ” “ I do n't know,"she said again, and brushed her A KING IN BABYLON 167. free hand in front of her eyes.
mdp.39015036870296	What's the matter with Allen?"
mdp.39015036870296	What's this?"
mdp.39015036870296	Where was it I had read that all decaying things pos- sessed a certain phosphorescence?
mdp.39015036870296	Who do you want for the leads? ” “ I want Jimmy Allen, for one."
mdp.39015036870296	Who is it after? ”"It's after Jimmy,"I answered, in the merest breath.
mdp.39015036870296	Why should we be frightened?
mdp.39015036870296	Why they'd be chestnuts to Sekenyen- Rē! ” “ Sekenyen- Rē?"
mdp.39015036870296	Wo n't anybody else do?"
mdp.39015036870296	Wo n't there be danger of the roof coming down?"
mdp.39015036870296	You could see the ribs sticking up, and the abdomen had fallen away into the pelvis... “ What do you think of her? ” asked Creel proudly.
mdp.39015036870296	You do n't mind if I sit down?"
mdp.39015036870296	You do n't mind the sun, do you?"
mdp.39015036870296	You fear this fascination because it leads to the un- known — but why should one be afraid of the un- known?"
mdp.39015036870296	You know it's something else! ” “ What else could it be? ” I countered feebly.
mdp.39015036870296	You said two weeks, I think?"
mdp.39015036870296	You would deceive the Muslims themselves! ” “ Do you think so? ” she laughed.
mdp.39015036870296	and following his gesture and A KING IN BABYLON 217 and go quietly to sleep?
mdp.39015036870296	man way? ” “ Oh, quite frequently.
mdp.39015036870296	thing was all right. ” “ And was it?"
mdp.39015036870296	was S 172 A KING IN BABYLON “ What did you see? ” I demanded, exasperated.
mdp.39015036870296	“ A king might inflict such a punishment upon a favorite whom he had tired of, or had grown to hate? ” “ Yes, I suppose so.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Alive? ” asked Creel, almost in a whisper.
mdp.39015036870296	“ An Egyptian face?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ And the women?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ And you call them original? ” I had to confess that most of them reminded me of the literary exercises at a country school.
mdp.39015036870296	“ And you think he has won? ” asked Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ And you, Mees Adams,"she went on, “ you have had a pleasant afternoon, I trust? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Anything else?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Are n't you glad you came? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Are n't you sleepy?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Are n't you well? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Are they all dead? ” But they were not dead.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Be- sides, where's Jimmy? ” For the light from Davis's torch had swept across Jimmy's bed, and we had all seen that it was empty.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Been out for a walk? ” “ That you, Billy? ” and he paused a moment.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Been out for a walk? ” “ That you, Billy? ” and he paused a moment.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Better luck?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Billy,"she said in a low voice, “ I'm worried. ” “ What about? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Bitten, eh?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Blowing cold this morning?."
mdp.39015036870296	“ But afterwards — what happened afterwards?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ But how did I get in?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ But how did you ever know where to begin?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ But suppose she wo n't go? ” “ Oh, she'll go, ” said Creel easily.
mdp.39015036870296	“ But where did he go? ” Jimmy persisted, his voice a little shrill.
mdp.39015036870296	“ But where is she?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ But where is that man Allen? ” Davis was sweeping it with his shaft of light.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Can I be of any help? ” “ Oh, no, thanks.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Come along! ” “ Along where? ” I asked, and looked around to find that the others were already on their feet.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Could it have gone into the tent?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Could n't we take some condensed milk? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Did I?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Did she get you, too? ” “ She tried to claw my eyes out,"answered Digby, intensely.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Did you offer her enough?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Did you see it? ” asked Creel, relaxing his grip and wiping the sweat from his face.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Did you see it? ” he asked at last.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do n't you think it a good likeness?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do n't you think that was enough?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do n't you think that's better? ” he added, turning to the girl.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do they have to handle her? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you get it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you mean that somebody else has been see- ing things?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you mean to say that ten camels can carry all of this stuff?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you mean to say you dug all that out?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you really believe in ghosts?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you really think so? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you suppose I could rest content with anything less than that?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you suppose that was where Mustafa struck her? ”"I should n't be surprised, ” said Creel, grimly.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Do you think it would be all right? ” “ Of course it would be all right.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Does she seem amused?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Expiation for what?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Feeling better? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Flinders? ” questioned Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Found something?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Four piastres a day. ” “ How much is a piastre? ” “ About five cents. ” “ What?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Four piastres a day. ” “ How much is a piastre? ” “ About five cents. ” “ What?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ From behind that wall?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Get where? ” he asked, waking out of a sort of dream.
mdp.39015036870296	“ God help him! ” “ Jimmy? ” “ He knows, ” I said.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Has Davis been talking to you?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Have they been talking of ghosts? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Have you been over there? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Have you ever seen one?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Have you found her, Warrie? ” she asked, running to him.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Have you got something planted back there? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Have you seen her? ” asked Jimmy.
mdp.39015036870296	“ He ran past into your tent and stayed there a minute, and then came out and ran toward the camp..."“ Is the Princess still asleep?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ He's welcome to his theories,"said Mollie; “ but he must n't be allowed to open that wall! ” “ How can we prevent it?
mdp.39015036870296	“ How about costumes?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ How are those for backgrounds? ” Creel de- manded, triumphantly; and I could only say that they were as nearly perfect as such things could be.
mdp.39015036870296	“ How could he disappear like that?
mdp.39015036870296	“ How could it get in there? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ How do I know?
mdp.39015036870296	“ How do you feel? ” asked Creel, stopping in front of him and eyeing him severely.
mdp.39015036870296	“ How do you feel? ” he asked, lowering his voice so as not to disturb the women, who were to be per- mitted to sleep as long as they liked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ How do you know there is an inner chamber? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ How does it come you never mentioned this burying- alive business?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ How much will it cost?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ How would he explain what we saw? ” “ As cloud shadows — or wisps of vapor like those out yonder.
mdp.39015036870296	“ I was just going to turn in. ” “ How long have you been here?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ I wonder how it ever affected us like that? ” I was squinting down at it, and I was n't so sure.
mdp.39015036870296	“ I've had enough of that nonsense! ” “ Did n't you see her? ” Jimmy demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ If? ” I echoed.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is all the stuff here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is everything all right? ” Creel asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is it a her?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is it as plain as that?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is it so that he ca n't miss the river if he holds to the west?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is it you, Jimmy?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is it you?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is n't it an oasis?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is not that a nice place to be born?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is there any'if'about it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is this an oasis? ” I asked Davis.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Is — is it all right?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Iss eet not one grand eeday? ” But there- to try to reproduce her ac- Va 56 A KING IN BABYLON cent is merely to travesty it!
mdp.39015036870296	“ It does n't matter, does it?
mdp.39015036870296	“ It is but one riddle of a thousand, is it not? ” she asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ It was great- consummatel Suppose she did spit in your face?
mdp.39015036870296	“ It will only send him off again. ” “ Better not let Jimmy see what?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ It's quite a place, is n't it? ” he said; and a minute later he added,"It seems to be empty."
mdp.39015036870296	“ Look here, Professor,"and Creel swung full upon him, “ on your word of honor, now, do you really believe it was an ape?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ No wonder I dropped the torch, eh?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Nobody confides in a cameraman, Miss Roland. ” “ Do they not? ” she smiled.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Now — what's out there? ” “ That — that thing! ” I stammered.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Now, ” said Jimmy to Creel, “ what was it I was n't to see? ” “ Oh, nothing! ” said Creel nervously.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Oh, ” says the old man,"are you going to Egypt? ” “ There's no use to go to Babylon,"says Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Per- haps a little tobacco, also? ” 163 164 A KING IN BABYLON “ Yes- a little tobacco, also, ” Creel assented.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Really? ” I asked, for I could n't for the life of me tell by looking at the thing whether it was a fake or not.
mdp.39015036870296	“ See that welt? ” and I saw that there was an ugly red welt across the knuckles.
mdp.39015036870296	“ See what? ” demanded Davis.
mdp.39015036870296	“ See what?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Shall we go? ” he asked; and there was an un- dercurrent of challenge in the words.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Some night there'll come a knock at the door..."Will there?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Sure you were n't dreaming? ” I suggested.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Sure?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Surely — why not?
mdp.39015036870296	“ That he hopes to make a great find?
mdp.39015036870296	“ That he really is a re- incarnation of the mummy in the coffin there? ” asked Davis, smiling.
mdp.39015036870296	“ That some catastrophe will follow?
mdp.39015036870296	“ That you, Billy? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ That's the way girls do, is n't it?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ Then it's a fake? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Then what was his object?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Then what was it? ” Ma Creel demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Then you're done out here? ” “ There is still the rear wall of the tomb to open.
mdp.39015036870296	“ This is Mr. Creel? ” “ Yes,"said Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Tina?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Tired?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ To keep the natives in order? ” “ Oh, no,"he laughed; “ Mustafa attends to 144 A KING IN BABYLON that.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Trouble?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Was n't I just ask- ing you if I might? ” “ Oh, so you were, ” she said.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Was n't there? ” I echoed.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Was that her name? ”"It was my name for her."
mdp.39015036870296	“ Well, suppose what he says is true,"Davis went on, evenly;"suppose something did knock the torch from his hand — what of it?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Well, was there? ” I asked, in a voice I tried vainly to make unconcerned.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Well, what of it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Well, why not?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Well? ” Creel demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Well?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What are the goats for? ” Creel demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What are those for? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What are we going to do about Jimmy?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What are you doing out here?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What are you standing there whispering about? ” “ Billy and I were comparing notes on the ghost,"said Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What desire?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What did you see last night? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do they think is the matter with the place?
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do we do now?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do you know about the odor of grave- clothes?
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do you mean by that? ” he demanded, and glared at me.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do you mean by that?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do you mean? ” I asked, looking at him; and I saw that at last we had got to the subject he wanted to talk to me about.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do you think of him, Professor?
mdp.39015036870296	“ What do you want with Mustafa? ”"Fact is, ” said Davis, “ if I ca n't get Mustafa to help, I will have to do the job myself.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What does interest you most?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ What does it mean? ” Creel asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What else could it be? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What else would you call it? ” Creel demanded, glad to get the talk away from Jimmy.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What happened?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What in blazes is the matter now?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What in heaven's name is the matter? ” Creel demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is it he wants you to do?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is it, Billy?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is it, Professor?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is that for? ” he demanded, with an acerbity which surprised me.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is that terrible noise?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is that?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is there about me to startle her?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What is this show, anyway? ”"I do n't know,"I said, “ except that there's a mummy in it-- the ugliest one I ever saw.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What mystery? ” Creel demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What provisions will he need? ” “ He should have provisions for a week, saar. ” “ Give him provisions for two weeks, ” said Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What sort of odor was it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What sort of perfume?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What sort of prayer do they say?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What the deuce is that? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What the devil is he up to?
mdp.39015036870296	“ What the devil's the matter with your camera- man, Creel? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What time is it, anyway?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was it brushed past us? ” “ There was n't anything brushed past us. ” “ Yes, there was; I felt it- so did Billy.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was it like? ” “ Just a — a sort of gray shape."
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was it you heard? ” asked Creel, at last.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was it, Billy? ” asked Jimmy, turning to me.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was it? ” I asked, and all pretense had A KING IN BABYLON 237 and we'll need all the rest we can get.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was the matter, Billy? ” he asked, more in sorrow than in anger.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was the matter? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What was the use of coming away out here in A KING IN BABYLON 127 the desert, anyway?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's all this noise?
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's all this?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's impossible?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's so strange about that? ” Creel de- manded.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's that for? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's that?
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter with her? ” asked Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter with you two lobsters, anyway? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter with you? ” asked Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter, Jimmy?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter, man? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter? ” I gasped.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter? ” Mollie asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ What?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ When can we start?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where are the girls?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where did you discover it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where is he now? ” asked Davis, “ He's in his tent,"said Ma Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where the deuce are we? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where's Jimmy?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where's Mary? ” he shouted, waltzing Mollie around the room.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Where's my wife?
mdp.39015036870296	“ Which sea? ” asked Creel.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Who did you think it was?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Who is it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Who is she?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Who was he?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ Who's your other lead? ” I asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Why did n't you borrow the original?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Why did n't you shoot that ape?".
mdp.39015036870296	“ Why not? ” demanded Creel."
mdp.39015036870296	“ Why should n't I admit it?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Why should n't it look like me? ” asked Jimmy quietly."
mdp.39015036870296	“ Why, yes — I saw Davis. ” “ Davis?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Will I do? ” she asked, and swept a beaming glance round upon us.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Will it have to be handled?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ Will you be my companion, M'sieu Beelee? ” “ Will II ” I said, and jumped to my feet.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Will you have some more to- morrow? ” “ Yes — but nothing so exciting.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Will you need the natives to- morrow? ” Davis asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Would you care to see it? ”.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Yes, there is a fascination about it,"I agreed at last,"but it's a fascination a fellow ought to fight against..."“ Why? ” Jimmy broke in.
mdp.39015036870296	“ Yes,"I agreed;"and I do n't understand it. ” “ What do n't you understand?
mdp.39015036870296	“ You did n't forget those trowels, did you? ”"Sure not, ” said Digby, who never forgot any- CS thing.
mdp.39015036870296	“ You do n't mean to say no Egyptian will steal?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ You have n't started to open up that wall, then?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ You really expect to find a mummy in there? ” he asked.
mdp.39015036870296	“ You really think so? ” “ You bet I do! ” I said.
mdp.39015036870296	“ You really think there's a tomb back of that wall? ”"I'm sure of it.
mdp.39015036870296	“ You're not ill?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ You're sure you do n't need my help?"
mdp.39015036870296	“ You've only seen me now and then — you've been away so much...""I've seen you as often as you've seen me, have n't I?"
mdp.39015036870296	” “ Truly? ” she asked, eagerly.
mdp.39015036870296	” “ What does he know about it? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015036870296	” “ Why not let well enough alone, Davis?"
mdp.39015059406465	A jest?
mdp.39015059406465	A start — for what?
mdp.39015059406465	All lost but his honor — Wall Street honor, eh?
mdp.39015059406465	Am I interrupting a family council?
mdp.39015059406465	Am I yellow?
mdp.39015059406465	And has your Dulcinea red hands and a flat nose and freckles like the lady of Toboso?
mdp.39015059406465	And how long will you stay with them?
mdp.39015059406465	And then — where?
mdp.39015059406465	And trample you?
mdp.39015059406465	And what's yours for yourself?
mdp.39015059406465	And when his wife frees herself and he mar- ries again — where will you go?
mdp.39015059406465	And why is it here?
mdp.39015059406465	And you both remember it, after all these years?
mdp.39015059406465	And you prefer to worship afar, and to send her news of your triumphs instead of going to her yourself?
mdp.39015059406465	And you've never seen him since Battle Field?
mdp.39015059406465	Anyhow, what's the use of anticipating 28 THE COST trouble? mdp.39015059406465 Are n't you mine?"
mdp.39015059406465	Are you asleep?
mdp.39015059406465	Are you ill, dear?
mdp.39015059406465	Are you sure?
mdp.39015059406465	Are you the same person you were a month ago? mdp.39015059406465 Are you there, Pauline?"
mdp.39015059406465	Besides, do n't we want the public to take part of our stock? mdp.39015059406465 But how am I to prevent that?"
mdp.39015059406465	But how do you know what you'll want in the future? mdp.39015059406465 But if it leads down?"
mdp.39015059406465	But if you were — were!—married?
mdp.39015059406465	But it's coeducation, is n't it? mdp.39015059406465 But should n't you like to be rich and famous and — all that?"
mdp.39015059406465	But what am I to tell her? mdp.39015059406465 But what is it?
mdp.39015059406465	But what shall I do for him?
mdp.39015059406465	But would n't he have won no matter where he was?
mdp.39015059406465	But you know it was n't because I'm not grate- ful, do n't you? mdp.39015059406465 But,"he said aloud, as if contemptuously dis- missing a suggestion,"why should I shoot my- self?
mdp.39015059406465	Did I?
mdp.39015059406465	Did he look then as he does now?
mdp.39015059406465	Did you get my note?
mdp.39015059406465	Did you learn in the stable?
mdp.39015059406465	Do I interrupt?
mdp.39015059406465	Do I look like that?
mdp.39015059406465	Do n't you think a man ought to have ambi- tion?
mdp.39015059406465	Do n't you think it would be a good match?
mdp.39015059406465	Do n't you think maybe we've been a little — too — severe?
mdp.39015059406465	Do you notice a resemblance to any one you know?
mdp.39015059406465	Do you really mean it?
mdp.39015059406465	Does everybody belong to a fraternity?
mdp.39015059406465	Does he think I'm a fool?
mdp.39015059406465	Does n't it grow on you?
mdp.39015059406465	Does n't it sound queer?
mdp.39015059406465	Does she? mdp.39015059406465 Eyes red?
mdp.39015059406465	Father,said she, when they were alone on the side porch after supper,"have you noticed how hard Polly is taking — it?"
mdp.39015059406465	Forget it?
mdp.39015059406465	Got any figgers?
mdp.39015059406465	Has Scarborough made much headway?
mdp.39015059406465	Has it been stolen?
mdp.39015059406465	Have you got money put by?
mdp.39015059406465	He's handsome, is n't he?
mdp.39015059406465	Here?
mdp.39015059406465	Horribly cold, is n't it?
mdp.39015059406465	How could I have done it? mdp.39015059406465 How do things look, Joe?"
mdp.39015059406465	How do you mean?
mdp.39015059406465	How many times must I tell you?
mdp.39015059406465	How old are you, Scarborough?
mdp.39015059406465	I mean, do you like him?
mdp.39015059406465	I said unpleasant, did n't I? mdp.39015059406465 I think""Scarborough, is n't it?"
mdp.39015059406465	I? mdp.39015059406465 I?"
mdp.39015059406465	I?
mdp.39015059406465	Idiot I Is there no way out at the rear?
mdp.39015059406465	Imperiling a cause that needs lies and bribes to save it?
mdp.39015059406465	In trouble again?
mdp.39015059406465	Is Mr. Dumont in?
mdp.39015059406465	Is he here now?
mdp.39015059406465	Is it something from home?
mdp.39015059406465	Is it true, Polly?
mdp.39015059406465	Is my little girl ill?
mdp.39015059406465	Is n't it inspiring,Scarborough said,"to see so many young men in arms for a principle?"
mdp.39015059406465	Is that enough?
mdp.39015059406465	Is your list of reasons complete?
mdp.39015059406465	Is your mother?
mdp.39015059406465	Is'Bella going to pay your way through?
mdp.39015059406465	It was dreadful, was n't it?
mdp.39015059406465	MY SISTER- IN- LAW, GLADYS173"Why did you look so queer when you first caught sight of him?"
mdp.39015059406465	May I turn and walk with you?
mdp.39015059406465	Mine?
mdp.39015059406465	Morning?
mdp.39015059406465	Of my — proposition?
mdp.39015059406465	Old — that's an unpleasant thought, is n't it?
mdp.39015059406465	Pauline,he began,"has everything been — been well — of late between you and — your husband?"
mdp.39015059406465	Queer we do n't get word of some sort, is n't it?
mdp.39015059406465	She has —"What day is it?
mdp.39015059406465	Splendid girl, is n't she?
mdp.39015059406465	Suppose I had n't; suppose you had taken my advice? mdp.39015059406465 That you, Pierson?"
mdp.39015059406465	The basement door would n't help very much, would it?
mdp.39015059406465	Then it was a jest?
mdp.39015059406465	Then why do n't you?
mdp.39015059406465	Then why does it shield the scoundrel?
mdp.39015059406465	They'll sign a few papers, and when they're done, what'll have happened? mdp.39015059406465 To look after the house?
mdp.39015059406465	We're very changeable, we women, are n't we? mdp.39015059406465 Well, fellow pirate: how go our plans for a merry winter for the poor?"

mdp.39015059406465	What'd be the sense in that?
mdp.39015059406465	What'd be the use of smashing'em?
mdp.39015059406465	What's happened?
mdp.39015059406465	What's happened?

mdp.39015059406465	Why did you tell me, then?
mdp.39015059406465	Why do n't I do this oftener?
mdp.39015059406465	Why does he treat me — treat you — like two naughty little children?

mdp.39015059406465	You are a strange combination, are n't you? mdp.39015059406465 You are happy to- day?"
mdp.39015059406465	You are tired of wan- dering? mdp.39015059406465 You did n't lose anything by it, did you?"

hvd.hw5y1w	... Will he look through?
hvd.hw5y1w	... You're surely not afraid because they're three to our two?"
hvd.hw5y1w	...""Who are you? ” asked Patrice.
hvd.hw5y1w	...""Why, have n't I eyes to read with?
hvd.hw5y1w	..."And, turning to Don Luis: “ And you, sir, ” Valenglay asked, “ is it your last word? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	..."Then he stopped and asked: “ But how do I know that I shall be paid the money?
hvd.hw5y1w	..."“ The men I saw last night? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	145 PATRICE AND CORALIE I heard him speaking to Essarès in a very angry tone, apparently threatening him. ” “ With what? ” “ I do n't know.
hvd.hw5y1w	157 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ But the name?
hvd.hw5y1w	207 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE 0"But why?
hvd.hw5y1w	233 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ Was it through this ventilator that the bags were let down?"
hvd.hw5y1w	254 THE BELLE HELENE"Eh, what?
hvd.hw5y1w	281 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ Then what about the shot which we have just heard, four or five hours later?"
hvd.hw5y1w	313 SIMEON'S LAST VICTIM “ What name have you put?
hvd.hw5y1w	318 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE gling him?
hvd.hw5y1w	41 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE What could it all mean?
hvd.hw5y1w	65 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE Does it burn, Essarès?
hvd.hw5y1w	71 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ Then you have something different to propose?"
hvd.hw5y1w	77 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ What about the colonel? ” asked one of the others.
hvd.hw5y1w	87 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ What reason?"
hvd.hw5y1w	: “ The examining- magistrate, I presume, sir?"
hvd.hw5y1w	?!
hvd.hw5y1w	?"
hvd.hw5y1w	?"
hvd.hw5y1w	?"
hvd.hw5y1w	A demigod? ” Ya- Bon grunted again, merrily this time, and withdrew his arm.
hvd.hw5y1w	A fortnight?".
hvd.hw5y1w	A genius of sorts?
hvd.hw5y1w	A man's name? ” muttered the old man, almost with a groan.
hvd.hw5y1w	A number of plans occurred to him: which was he to choose?
hvd.hw5y1w	A pack of addle- pates, you say?
hvd.hw5y1w	A pendant?
hvd.hw5y1w	Absolute silence and quiet. ”"And old Siméon, sir?"
hvd.hw5y1w	After all, it was the only possible theory. ”"But what theory?
hvd.hw5y1w	After the Belle Hélène do you want to attack the Chamois?
hvd.hw5y1w	Ah, have you got it now?
hvd.hw5y1w	Ah, you would defy me, would you?
hvd.hw5y1w	All his life long he worked to bring us together: surely he would not kill us deliberately?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Am I not right, Little Mother Coralie?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Am I not the favorite of the gods?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Am I the man for the job?
hvd.hw5y1w	Am I wrong?"
hvd.hw5y1w	An amethyst pendant? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	An hour?
hvd.hw5y1w	And Patrice said huskily, in a choking voice: 202 IN THE ABYSS “ Who will it be?
hvd.hw5y1w	And by whom?
hvd.hw5y1w	And could all the French police, overworked as they are, give me the indispensable assistance?
hvd.hw5y1w	And do n't you also see what my only means of escape will be?
hvd.hw5y1w	And do n't you mean to?
hvd.hw5y1w	And do you know how the letter was signed?
hvd.hw5y1w	And for whose benefit?
hvd.hw5y1w	And he too put himself the same question: What was he to do?
hvd.hw5y1w	And how can they have gone out?
hvd.hw5y1w	And how will he keep the gold for himself?
hvd.hw5y1w	And how's your prisoner?
hvd.hw5y1w	And in the same manner?
hvd.hw5y1w	And madame —'Little Mother Coralie'-is she better?
hvd.hw5y1w	And now that you know as much as I do, what do you think of it?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And she added, in a quivering voice, “ The others?
hvd.hw5y1w	And she shook hands with them af- fectionately:"Well, Ribrac, how's that leg of yours?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And still the same agonizing ques- tion rose to their minds: what was going to hap- pen?
hvd.hw5y1w	And the key?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And then we'll be off. ” “ How?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And then... and then it was like a flash of light...."Don Luis paused to think and, in a lower voice, continued:"But who the devil can this woman be?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And these three words once again were: Patrice and Coralie “ What do you say to that?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And this first thought led to another: why not investigate matters at once?
hvd.hw5y1w	And what about your diary? ” “ I had no notion..."“ But, captain, every page is an indictment of the man.
hvd.hw5y1w	And what are you proposing to do if I decline to accept it?
hvd.hw5y1w	And what became of the body?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And what could they do to ward it off?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And what for, sir?
hvd.hw5y1w	And what miracle brought you all here? ”"We'll talk about that later, Little Mother Co- ralie.
hvd.hw5y1w	And what would Patrice Belval not have given for a smile from Little Mother Coralie?
hvd.hw5y1w	And what would be the form of the sacrifice de- manded?
hvd.hw5y1w	And where does the al- bum come from? ” M. Masseron supplied the answer:"It was the surgeon who found it.
hvd.hw5y1w	And who can have collected them together with yours, madame? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	And who could defend her? ” “ If anything happens to me,"Siméon had said.
hvd.hw5y1w	And who was it that had written their two names, ten years ago, in white pebbles, within the thickness of a wall?
hvd.hw5y1w	And why sha'n't I see you again, Little Mother Coralie?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And why this intermediate stage in the basement, in the Rue Ray- nouard?
hvd.hw5y1w	And yet why should I?
hvd.hw5y1w	And you are M. Siméon's enemy?
hvd.hw5y1w	And you have duplicates of the keys that open the cupboards in the walls of those rooms, have n't you?
hvd.hw5y1w	And you imagine that Bournef and his friends will be such fools?
hvd.hw5y1w	And you imagine that you are going to start a new life, without me?
hvd.hw5y1w	And you want to...?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And you will leave France, of course? ” “ As soon as I can."
hvd.hw5y1w	And you would still deny the truth?
hvd.hw5y1w	And you, Jorisse? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	And your father, gasping for breath, shouts,'Is that you, Patrice?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, I say, here's Ya- Bon coming; and Ya- Bon always laughs. ” She rose suddenly:"Do you think he can have overtaken one of the two men?"
hvd.hw5y1w	And, above all, what brought her here?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, addressing Patrice Belval with a question- ing air:"Captain?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, as Siméon, still dazed, seemed not to un- derstand and sat gazing at him stupidly, he repeated, in a harsher tone:"Where's Coralie?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, continuing to give ear, he resumed: “ The golden triangle?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, even so, we shall make a fight for it, shall we not?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, if, on the other hand, it was you, why put you on your guard?
hvd.hw5y1w	And, looking at Ya- Bon in amazement, “ Are you in your right mind?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are his crimes to be explained by the huge treasure 244 THE BELLE HELENE placed at his disposal on the day when he discov- ered the secret?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you afraid of what might happen if you obeyed him?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you afraid?".
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you giving up?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you going back?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you happy?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you prepared to go all lengths, friends? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you still hoping?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you suggesting Arsène Lupin to me?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you sur- prised to see me?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you there?
hvd.hw5y1w	Are you there?
hvd.hw5y1w	As enemies, who knows whether the victor will sur- mount all the obstacles that will still stand in his path?
hvd.hw5y1w	As for the death of the watch- dog, I can put that down to your Senegalese, ca n't I? ” Patrice was beginning to understand.
hvd.hw5y1w	At that moment, Essarès appeared to get his call, for he asked: “ Is that 40.39?
hvd.hw5y1w	Bad luck for him, was n't it?
hvd.hw5y1w	Because you ca n't pay a man with what already belongs to him. ” “ What's that you're saying? ” cried Siméon, in dismay.
hvd.hw5y1w	Besides, is it really a signal?"
hvd.hw5y1w	But I want to know, is my room still free?'
hvd.hw5y1w	But by whom and for what reason, in consequence of what tragedies?
hvd.hw5y1w	But can any one see you without loving you?
hvd.hw5y1w	But first of all, what do you know? ” “ Pretty well everything."
hvd.hw5y1w	But how are we to imagine that he could have done it with such precision?
hvd.hw5y1w	But how was the miracle brought about?
hvd.hw5y1w	But is this not the time to take the necessary precau- tions?"
hvd.hw5y1w	But it dated a long way back. ”"Did he know where the gold was hidden? ” asked M. Masseron.
hvd.hw5y1w	But shall I confess to you that my happiness is still a little — what shall I say?-a little dim, a little timid?
hvd.hw5y1w	But suddenly Don Luis cried:"Did you hear?"
hvd.hw5y1w	But suddenly I remem- bered that, in the first barge, the Nonchalante, the person who gave us information- do you recollect?
hvd.hw5y1w	But the other, the leader, almost im- mediately burst into a rage:"Eh?
hvd.hw5y1w	But what was the price of the promise?
hvd.hw5y1w	But what's the matter, cap- tain? ” Patrice had stifled a cry: “ There.
hvd.hw5y1w	But when will you tell your dear son the truth?
hvd.hw5y1w	But why should you?
hvd.hw5y1w	But why this hatred of Coralie?
hvd.hw5y1w	But you know those foot- prints, do you not?
hvd.hw5y1w	But you swore not to say anything, did n't you?
hvd.hw5y1w	But, I say, have you been wounded in the head again? ”"Yes, an accident of no importance,"replied Patrice.
hvd.hw5y1w	But, Lord forgive us, what have the scoundrels done to you?
hvd.hw5y1w	But, in that case, how had she procured the means of carrying out this enterprise?
hvd.hw5y1w	But, in war- time, it wo n't do at all. ”"Surely, monsieur le président, you will make an exception in my case?"
hvd.hw5y1w	But, on reaching the door, he said: “ Twenty thousand francs?
hvd.hw5y1w	But, to his great surprise, he recognized M. Masseron, who opened the door and came towards him with outstretched hand:"Well, captain, how are you?
hvd.hw5y1w	But, you obstinate brute, do n't you understand the situa- tion?
hvd.hw5y1w	By Bournef and his friends?
hvd.hw5y1w	By what miracle was the unknown person who had sent it him able to guess that he would be in a posi- tion to use it without further instructions?
hvd.hw5y1w	By what unprecedented mir- acle was the key just the key of this very door?
hvd.hw5y1w	Ca n't we follow it?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Ca n't you find it?
hvd.hw5y1w	Can it be the thought of the gold that has hypnotized him?
hvd.hw5y1w	Can you move? ” “ Yes,"said Patrice.
hvd.hw5y1w	Can you, without his assistance, find the place where the gold is hidden?
hvd.hw5y1w	Colonel Fakhi's, for instance?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Coralie is really alive, is n't she?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Coralie?
hvd.hw5y1w	Could anything be clearer?
hvd.hw5y1w	Could he abandon that hope and resign himself to the inevitable?
hvd.hw5y1w	Could we meet at the hospital, for instance, at three o'clock this afternoon?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Counsel me! ” But the father answered the son with nothing but more words of challenge and despair: “ Who can rescue us?
hvd.hw5y1w	Counting on your wife, perhaps?
hvd.hw5y1w	Did Siméon col- lect them without any definite object, mechanically?
hvd.hw5y1w	Did she tell you what hap- pened this afternoon?
hvd.hw5y1w	Did the two facts announced by the speakers at the restaurant not form part of the same suspicious machination?
hvd.hw5y1w	Did you find it, sir?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Did you hear the cries?
hvd.hw5y1w	Did you hear?.
hvd.hw5y1w	Did you say Ya- Bon?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Do n't you agree?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do n't you agree?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Do n't you remember?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do n't you see what his plan is, his abominable plan, once I am his prisoner?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do n't you think you'd better come in here with me, until you've recovered and taken a little rest?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you consent?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you imagine that I can stay now, after the colonel's given me away?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you imagine things go like that in real life?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you know about Essarès'last night?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you know him?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you know some- thing for certain?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you know why I joined the hospital in the Champs- Élysées, the hospital where you were lying wounded and ill?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you mind answering them? ” “ I will answer them, sir, as plainly as you put them."
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you recollect?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you refuse?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you see me, Lupin, making more or less witty jokes upon your imminent death while my friend Patrice is in danger?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you still deny it?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you take me for a helpless dunderhead? ” 1813.
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you think I did n't see it?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you think it was Ya- Bon and not Siméon who killed the woman? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you think so too?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you understand, Coralie?
hvd.hw5y1w	Do you want them or do n't you?
hvd.hw5y1w	Does everything fit in so accurately?
hvd.hw5y1w	Does it repel you?
hvd.hw5y1w	Does none of this tell you anything? ”"No.
hvd.hw5y1w	Does that rob a man of his brain or heart?
hvd.hw5y1w	Don Luis cleared the grating and said, jestingly:"Have you noticed that the doors are never locked in this adventure?
hvd.hw5y1w	Don Luis continued: “ Do you believe that I would even encourage you to hate him, if he were your father?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Es- sarès told you those details?
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès at the telephone began to lose patience:"Are you there?
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès died of an accident?
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès fired the first shot:"Well,"he asked, “ what are you looking at me like that for?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès ill? ” 104 NINETEEN MINUTES PAST SEVEN"It's nothing,"said the maid.
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès knew? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès took it I'm concerlie's here?
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès'bed- room?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès'opinion also? ” She reddened slightly and answered: “ Yes."
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès?
hvd.hw5y1w	Essarès? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hw5y1w	Father, will you tell us nothing to save your Coralie's daughter?
hvd.hw5y1w	For behaving a little treacherously and locking me into the studio of the lodge?
hvd.hw5y1w	For saving your life and saving Coralie's?
hvd.hw5y1w	For the sake of money?"
hvd.hw5y1w	For they did kill him, did n't they?
hvd.hw5y1w	For thinking me capable of keeping the treasure on the day when I discovered it?
hvd.hw5y1w	For- tunately, we happen to have an alibi. ”"Easy to prove? ”"Impossible to upset. ” “ We'll look into it.
hvd.hw5y1w	Give up a windfall like that?
hvd.hw5y1w	Grégoire? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Had the wretched man heard?
hvd.hw5y1w	Had you seen him since Es- sarès Bey's death? ” “ No, it was the first time.
hvd.hw5y1w	Has Patrice been?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Has a decent man transformed himself into a bandit to satisfy a sudden instinct?
hvd.hw5y1w	Has she come back, believing us on our way to Le Hâvre?
hvd.hw5y1w	Has she escaped? ” “ Yes, through her window."
hvd.hw5y1w	Have n't you guessed it yet?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have they squeezed your throat a bit too tight with their cords?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you a husband or are you a widow?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you a telephone- direc- tory?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you any hope of discovering the secret which you have been seeking for weeks and months? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you done that? ” After a moment, Bournef answered:"Yes, I've finished.
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you ever seen a picture of Hell?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you got your breath back?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you had your breakfast?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you never seen that head anywhere? ” It was a very big head, with black hair, plastered down with grease, and a thick beard.
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you seen a barge lately, lying at Berthou's Wharf?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you seen the doctor?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you some other view?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you started scribbling yet?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you the key of the door?
hvd.hw5y1w	Have you the key?
hvd.hw5y1w	He began to laugh: “ Right hand and left leg; left hand and right leg: what does it matter which we have saved, if we know how to use it?
hvd.hw5y1w	He bent over the man, felt his heart and, on 19 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE seeing that he had only fainted, asked the nurse: “ Do you know him?''
hvd.hw5y1w	He killed that man; and that man was your father, Patrice; he was Armand Belvall Now do you un- derstand? ” Patrice did not understand.
hvd.hw5y1w	He lifted a hanging, opened a door and called out: “ Well, captain, how are you getting on?
hvd.hw5y1w	He made a last attempt: “ And the golden triangle?
hvd.hw5y1w	He made a. sign to Patrice: “ Will you allow me to clear up this business, captain?
hvd.hw5y1w	He put on a solemn air:"You forbid me?"
hvd.hw5y1w	He put the question frankly: “ So there was no murder?"
hvd.hw5y1w	He replied:"What's that you say?
hvd.hw5y1w	He rose: “ Do you wish to see him, Little Mother Coralie?"
hvd.hw5y1w	He said nothing about it, therefore, and asked: “ What do you think of the letter? ”"Upon my word, I do n't know what to think.
hvd.hw5y1w	He suddenly made up his mind and, with both receivers glued to his ears, said, in English: “ Is that you, Grégoire?
hvd.hw5y1w	He thought for a moment and resumed:"You still have a second key to each of the rooms which they use as bedrooms?
hvd.hw5y1w	He threw himself into the sea from a rock;'and you pretend that you know him? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	He turned suddenly to Ya- Bon, who was stand- ing depressed by his silence: “ What's the matter with you, putting on that lug- ubrious air?
hvd.hw5y1w	He was not murdered? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	He would take some kill- ing. ”"Whom can he have instructed to avenge him?
hvd.hw5y1w	Her room also is far away; and she has n't heard anything either?
hvd.hw5y1w	Here?
hvd.hw5y1w	Hold your tongue, will you?
hvd.hw5y1w	How are you feeling now?
hvd.hw5y1w	How much do you want? ” The doctor pointed to the door.
hvd.hw5y1w	How was he to defend himself?
hvd.hw5y1w	How will he take it away? ” A motor- car arrived from the direction of the Trocadéro.
hvd.hw5y1w	However, one thought in- sistently possessed him; and he stammered: “ That was my father?
hvd.hw5y1w	I expect he's had enough. ” 59 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE He went up to the victim:"Well, my dear Essarès,"he asked, “ what do you think of it?
hvd.hw5y1w	I found a pendant, cut out of a solid block of amethyst and held in a set- ting of filigree- work. ”"What's that? ” cried Captain Belval.
hvd.hw5y1w	I have plenty more to say on the subject, but it ca n't all be said in a day, can it?
hvd.hw5y1w	I heard his voice, you say?
hvd.hw5y1w	I hold him in my hand as I hold this leaf. ” “ But how?"
hvd.hw5y1w	I need n't prove it to you, need I, since Coralie's here?
hvd.hw5y1w	I need n't tell you more, need I?
hvd.hw5y1w	I need n't, need I?
hvd.hw5y1w	I thought for a moment that, as we had our first visit from the Zeppelins a week ago... are you listening to me?"
hvd.hw5y1w	I want to know his name, before I destroy him. ”"His name?
hvd.hw5y1w	I'll talk about it to Bournef. ”"Nothing fresh on his side?"
hvd.hw5y1w	I'm punctual for the appointment, am I not?
hvd.hw5y1w	If Ya- Bon could find some one to care for him, might not the most sadly mutilated heroes aspire likewise to all the joys of love?
hvd.hw5y1w	If his father had failed before him, how could he hope to succeed?
hvd.hw5y1w	If not, how could I have res- cued you? ”"But,"said Patrice, anxiously,"suppose the scoundrel returns to the attack.
hvd.hw5y1w	If not...'“ Ah, ” said Patrice, rising from his stooping pos- ture,"will this also be repeated?
hvd.hw5y1w	If so, how are we to know that the same thing did n't happen this time?".
hvd.hw5y1w	If what you say is true, why did you plot against Coralie and me?
hvd.hw5y1w	Imprisoned?
hvd.hw5y1w	In M. Essarès'hand?"
hvd.hw5y1w	In the evening... in the evening you yourself witnessed the final episode. ” “ But why yesterday evening rather than another?"
hvd.hw5y1w	In the first place, who was the man murdered by Essarès, at nineteen minutes past seven in the morning, on the fourth of April?
hvd.hw5y1w	In what name is it to be? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	In what respect have we fallen off?
hvd.hw5y1w	In what way?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is M. Lupin no longer able to follow a scent?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is he in love with her, as he is trying to finish me off too?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is it a bargain?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is it clear? ”"Perfectly clear,"said Patrice,"but I never sent you that note."
hvd.hw5y1w	Is it he, in his madness, who has set the machine working again?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is it not rather living, in one instant, the most wonderful of lives? ” He resisted her embrace.
hvd.hw5y1w	Is it possible?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is n't it odd?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is n't it well- arranged?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that dying?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that enough?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that enough? ”"Do you want me to ring?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that enough? ”"Do you want me to ring?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that nothing?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that so?
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that so?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Is that what you wish, Patrice?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Is your wound healed?
hvd.hw5y1w	It gave me a turn, too... “ What sight? ” One of the gentlemen left the group and ap-.
hvd.hw5y1w	It was for her that I was praying over the'way? ”"For her, Coralie, and for my father.
hvd.hw5y1w	It was he, lastly, who paid and dismissed the men- servants. ” “ But why?
hvd.hw5y1w	It was n't?
hvd.hw5y1w	It was signed Grégoire. ”"Grégoire?
hvd.hw5y1w	It's a queer thing, though: I feel frightened! ” “ What of? ” asked Don Luis, who was plucky enough himself to understand this presentiment.
hvd.hw5y1w	It's a question of price, is it not?
hvd.hw5y1w	Join me here?
hvd.hw5y1w	Look here, do n't you understand any- thing?
hvd.hw5y1w	M. Masseron at last said:"I found it in the dead man's hand. ”"In the dead man's hand?
hvd.hw5y1w	M. Masseron raised an objection:"Two undeniable facts, you say, Captain Belval?
hvd.hw5y1w	May I also confess that I am curious to learn how you discovered the secret?
hvd.hw5y1w	Nevertheless he went on talking: “ I need n't worry, need I?
hvd.hw5y1w	Nevertheless, he made a last effort:"And if I ordered you to go, Coralie?"
hvd.hw5y1w	No moving about the house, do you understand?
hvd.hw5y1w	No news?
hvd.hw5y1w	No one in the porter's lodge: that 316 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE you think me capable of abandoning him like that?
hvd.hw5y1w	No?
hvd.hw5y1w	No?
hvd.hw5y1w	No?
hvd.hw5y1w	No?
hvd.hw5y1w	No?
hvd.hw5y1w	Not a word, not an incident, in all that you have told me, suggests the least idea to me. ” “ You have no enemies, to your knowledge?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Not even a funeral oration, eh?
hvd.hw5y1w	Now that Essarès Bey was dead, who was continuing his work?
hvd.hw5y1w	Now the ques- tion is, did Siméon succeed in fetching Little Mother Coralie, or did he run away before fetching her?
hvd.hw5y1w	Now what would a car want to stop here for, on the quay, opposite a wall with no house near it?"
hvd.hw5y1w	One leg short?
hvd.hw5y1w	One month?
hvd.hw5y1w	One of them shouted:"I saw the figure of a man making off that way. ” “ Which way?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Only- reflect — why should a murder have been committed?
hvd.hw5y1w	Open this, will you? ” There was no reply.
hvd.hw5y1w	Or am I to assume that Siméon is merely an instru- ment of the enemy's?
hvd.hw5y1w	Or at least I remember a dream I had: it happened in the lodge, did n't it, as before?
hvd.hw5y1w	Or have you a glimmer of hope?
hvd.hw5y1w	Or one of your friends? ” “ We thought that you would suspect us.
hvd.hw5y1w	Or should he commit it himself by breaking the man's head with a bullet from his revolver?
hvd.hw5y1w	Ought we not to take some precautions?
hvd.hw5y1w	Paris? ”"Well, of course!"
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice asked one more question:"Did you ever notice that Siméon sought your company?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice looked at him wildly: 320 SIMEON'S LAST VICTIM “ Do you but he were your fatha jou mean that “ Do you know something?
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice pushed it aside, growling: “ Will you explain what it all means?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice was becoming more and more anxious:"Then you think the danger's over? ” “ Oh, I do n't say that!
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice was filled with alarm: 279 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE “ Can it be Ya- Bon? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice was more astounded than ever: 226 A STRANGE CHARACTER “ Then Siméon knows you? ” he asked.
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice, quiver- ing with rage, stared at him fixedly: “ Who are you?
hvd.hw5y1w	Patrice? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	Presently he asked:"And where does this pendant come from?
hvd.hw5y1w	Presently she asked:"Why did n't you warn me?".
hvd.hw5y1w	Rue Raynouard?
hvd.hw5y1w	Run away?
hvd.hw5y1w	Sentenced?
hvd.hw5y1w	Shall I remind you of my words? ”"No."
hvd.hw5y1w	Shall I tell you the reason?
hvd.hw5y1w	Shall we ever be able to take our re- venge?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Shall we ever find him again, the scoundrel?
hvd.hw5y1w	Shall we make an appointment?
hvd.hw5y1w	She had been strangled. ” “ So you know nothing more than that?"
hvd.hw5y1w	She shuddered at her image of the man who had killed her mother; and she asked:"It was he, was it not?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Shot, do you say?
hvd.hw5y1w	Should I have compelled him to speak?
hvd.hw5y1w	Should he inform the police?
hvd.hw5y1w	Should he intervene?
hvd.hw5y1w	Should he return to the Rue Ray- nouard?
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon Diodokis is on his way to join her. ”"How long have you known Siméon Diodokis? ” “ It's the first time we saw him.
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon Diodokis? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon can drive far out of Paris, stab the man in the back... and then when shall we get to know?".
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon has failed in his attempt and is thinking only of saying his own skin... and his bags of gold. ” “ You insist, do you? ”"Absolutely."
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon laughed and quietly, with a pause after each figure: “ Thirty thousand? ” he asked.
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon, your old secretary?
hvd.hw5y1w	Siméon?
hvd.hw5y1w	Six months?
hvd.hw5y1w	So Coralie's hus- band knew him by name?
hvd.hw5y1w	So it's all finished, eh?
hvd.hw5y1w	So it's settled, I pre- sume: you're going to speak?"
hvd.hw5y1w	So you have nothing more to reveal? ” “ No.
hvd.hw5y1w	So you know of the conversation which I overheard yesterday at the restaurant? ” “ Yes. ”"And the attempt to kidnap Mme.
hvd.hw5y1w	So you refuse to give up your secret, Es- sarès, old man?
hvd.hw5y1w	So..."“ And then? ”"And then?
hvd.hw5y1w	So..."“ And then? ”"And then?
hvd.hw5y1w	Some friend of Essarès', continuing his work?
hvd.hw5y1w	Speak, will you, you old num- skull! ”"You, kill M. Siméon?
hvd.hw5y1w	Still..."“ And what's the price of that apparatus of yours? ” “ Five hundred francs."
hvd.hw5y1w	Suppose Ya- Bon has laid hands upon him?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Suppose that no one answered, would that prove that the murder had been committed in the house, or merely that no one was yet about?
hvd.hw5y1w	That plot hatched against you?
hvd.hw5y1w	That plot which your assailants are so afraid to see discovered that they go to the length of kill- ing the one who allowed himself to be caught?
hvd.hw5y1w	That was all first- class work, do n't you think?
hvd.hw5y1w	That wound in your shoul- der?"
hvd.hw5y1w	That'll be enough. ”"Enough?
hvd.hw5y1w	That's how they found him, I suppose?"
hvd.hw5y1w	That's so, Siméon, is n't it: you will take it there to- morrow?
hvd.hw5y1w	That's the position, is n't it, Masseron? ” “ Yes, monsieur le président."
hvd.hw5y1w	That's understood be- tween us, is n't it?
hvd.hw5y1w	That's what he wants, is n't it?"
hvd.hw5y1w	The ambassador shall receive his instructions this evening. ” 339 FIAT LUXI “ What do you mean? ”"Exactly what I say.
hvd.hw5y1w	The argument was so unanswerable that Bournef'ceased discussing and asked: “ Is the safe in this room?"
hvd.hw5y1w	The battle has begun. ”"But Coralie..."“ What are you afraid of for her?
hvd.hw5y1w	The buttressing- walls?
hvd.hw5y1w	The consequence is...""Well?"
hvd.hw5y1w	The cook?
hvd.hw5y1w	The housemaid?
hvd.hw5y1w	The idea of taking hold of the flesh and squeezing?
hvd.hw5y1w	The internment- camp is the worst that can await me. ” “ Then you refuse to answer? ” said M. Mas- seron.
hvd.hw5y1w	The ivy?
hvd.hw5y1w	The leader rapped out an oath and went on: “ What do you mean?
hvd.hw5y1w	The one who lies here, mur- dered?"
hvd.hw5y1w	The terraces?
hvd.hw5y1w	Then again, how would they have entered the house?
hvd.hw5y1w	Then he held out a bundle of papers: “ You know your father's handwriting, do n't you, captain? ” he said.
hvd.hw5y1w	Then he pulled slightly, so as to make the pressure felt, and asked, unemo- tionally: “ Yes or no? ” “ Yes."
hvd.hw5y1w	Then it was he who called to me? ” “ Yes, Patrice, your father. ” 321 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE"And the man who killed him...
hvd.hw5y1w	Then she asked:"What is it, Patrice?
hvd.hw5y1w	Then who gave us away?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Then why stay?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Then, coming to himself entirely, he looked at Patrice, who at once, in a stifled voice, asked: “ Where's Coralie? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	There was only one criminal, one, do you understand, Patrice?
hvd.hw5y1w	Therefore, Patrice, if I am to die in a few hours, why not die now, in your arms... at the same time as yourself, with my lips to yours?
hvd.hw5y1w	They do, how- over, throw a very vivid light on the past. ” “ Do they explain what we saw two days ago? ” she asked, anxiously.
hvd.hw5y1w	They no wall, or perhaps on the invisi next?
hvd.hw5y1w	They're looking through the bars and trying to see us. ” “ How do you know?
hvd.hw5y1w	This much is certain, that Ya- Bon broke the window- panes...""To jump into the Seine, wounded as he was, with his one arm? ” said Patrice.
hvd.hw5y1w	Those two men?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Three months?
hvd.hw5y1w	Throughout this ad- venture, from the first day to the last, there was not a crime committed but was his handiwork: not one, do you follow me?
hvd.hw5y1w	To do what?
hvd.hw5y1w	To take in people, I suppose, so that they may not notice that I've lost a bit of mine?
hvd.hw5y1w	Tried?
hvd.hw5y1w	Un- der these conditions, how could he hesitate to in- terfere in a matter in which his revelations would enlighten the police?
hvd.hw5y1w	Under the tombstone?
hvd.hw5y1w	Unfortunately..."“ Well?"
hvd.hw5y1w	Valenglay, I believe?
hvd.hw5y1w	Was he even alive?
hvd.hw5y1w	Was it his duty to prevent Coralie from committing the irrep- arable deed?
hvd.hw5y1w	Was it punish- ment?
hvd.hw5y1w	Was it revenge?
hvd.hw5y1w	Was it the gratification of hatred?
hvd.hw5y1w	Was this the end of the tragedy?
hvd.hw5y1w	We are agreed?
hvd.hw5y1w	We shall have to talk it all over and get some light on it, sha'n't we?
hvd.hw5y1w	We'll go halves, shall we?
hvd.hw5y1w	We'll talk about this to- morrow, shall we, captain? ” He shook hands with Patrice again, bowed to Mme.
hvd.hw5y1w	We've all got to, have n't we?
hvd.hw5y1w	Well, then, are you humbugging me, or what?
hvd.hw5y1w	Well, was I right or not?
hvd.hw5y1w	Well, why do n't you answer?
hvd.hw5y1w	What I want to know is your opinion of the business itself? ” Without a second's hesitation, she replied:"I have none.

hvd.hw5y1w	“ No, only a parcel. ”"From whom?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Noth- ing to examine? ” He looked at Coralie, who kept her eyes fixed upon him attentively.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Nothing at all. ”"Was it this morning? ”.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Nothing else?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Of thanking me?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Oh, so you've worked for M. Essarès?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ On the basis suggested?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ One Grégoire. ”"Who was he?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Or his plans concerning Pa- trice Belval?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Presently, at twelve o'clock. ” “ And if you're arrested?"

hvd.hw5y1w	“ Still..."“ Still what?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ That Siméon escaped?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ That is to say, ” she murmured, “ if you ordered me to go to that man and surrender myself to him?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ That's what I think, monsieur le président,"said Don Luis.. “ Ah, do you know me, sir?"

hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then the proof which destiny has given you of its wishes does not satisfy you? ” he said, good- humoredly.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then there will be no magistrate's examination?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then what will you do with that man?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then who do you think it is?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then who was it?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then you did n't know of the murder at that time?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Then you have a pass? ”.

hvd.hw5y1w	“ Was the door open? ”"No, but Siméon happened to be coming out at that moment.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Well, what will happen?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What about it?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What about that man to whom your two assail- ants were to hand you over and who says that he knows you?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What about those men who tried to kidnap you?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What am I to do?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What are you afraid of?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What are you doing there?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What are you doing, Little Mother Coralie? ” He gave a start.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What are you frightened of, Coralie?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What are you going to do?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What are you saying, Patrice?".
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What did I tell you? ” he said between his teeth.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What did it say?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What do you mean? ”"I love you."
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What do you think of all this, Master Ya- Bon? ” asked the captain, walking arm- in- arm with 47 THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE him.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What do you want, Ya- Bon? ” The hand pushed him against the wall.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What does it matter, if he's a beast and a black- guard?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What does this mean?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What is it, dear? ” he repeated.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What is the address?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What is the use, Patrice?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ What makes you think that?"

hvd.hw5y1w	“ Where are they now?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Where are they? ”"In a hiding- place that ca n't be got at."
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Which was the clue that put you on the track?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Who are you?"

hvd.hw5y1w	“ Yes, was n't it a curious coincidence? ” he said.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Yes, why not? ” he asked himself.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Yes, your death will make it easier for us. ”"My death?
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Yes. ”"Do you mean to say that you have met him since he died?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ Yes?"
hvd.hw5y1w	“ You had found out? ”"I had found out.
hvd.hw5y1w	“ You're quite sure you fastened the door?"

mdp.39015059391691	Much of a deposit?

mdp.39015059391691	12 WALLINGFORD IN HIS PRIME “ You'll have a nip of something before you go, wo n't you? ” invited Benssy hospitably.

mdp.39015059391691	About how much salary do you think you want — Caruso's or just Tetrazzini's? ” “ Only what I earn, ” stated Melissa modestly.
mdp.39015059391691	Am I in on this half- million dollars that you're out to make? ” “ You're always in for some of it, are n't you? ” demanded Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	Am I in on this half- million dollars that you're out to make? ” “ You're always in for some of it, are n't you? ” demanded Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	And why tie his hands for thirty days — so as to quiet his nerves? ” Wallingford smiled seraphically.
mdp.39015059391691	Are there any re- marks? ” asked Mr. Guile, stroking his benevolent whiskers.
mdp.39015059391691	Are you in the city on business?
mdp.39015059391691	Are you ready, gentlemen?"

mdp.39015059391691	Bring it right down, and get your money; and say, Binky, come the back way, will you? ” Petey Wilks loved that little deal.
mdp.39015059391691	But do you know who opened his guard to me to- day?
mdp.39015059391691	But what can you do in that meeting?
mdp.39015059391691	By the way, I put you down for a thousand dollars. ” “ You what? ” “ One thousand bones.
mdp.39015059391691	By the way, Sergeant, what are they for? ” “ Why, do n't you know? ” inquired the driver in surprise.

mdp.39015059391691	By the way, who is Melissa?
mdp.39015059391691	By the way, you're not going to charge anything for the loan of them, are you? ” “ Certainly not, ” Wallingford assured him.
mdp.39015059391691	Ca n't you wait? ” Wallingford shook his head promptly.
mdp.39015059391691	Could n't it ever be wound up and started going again?
mdp.39015059391691	Could this be possible?
mdp.39015059391691	Delancy and Lawrence and Devoe are all right, but they have n't had decent parts for three seasons; so what can you expect?
mdp.39015059391691	Did he swindle you out of anything? ” “ Well, no, ” admitted Mr. Spooger reluctantly.
mdp.39015059391691	Did you see me call young Benssy back?

mdp.39015059391691	Do you know? ” Wallingford, writing an elaborate receipt for the mayor to sign, shook his head regretfully.
mdp.39015059391691	Do you object to parting with some of them? ” Alec considered the matter doubtfully.
mdp.39015059391691	Do you think so? ” inquired Sickels eagerly.
mdp.39015059391691	Does the board of aldermen make any restrictions on your contracts?
mdp.39015059391691	Even the reporter for the German paper stopped eating “ Will you hold tight to that, and let me feel the other end of it?"

mdp.39015059391691	Have you seen in the papers how Dougalville was built overnight?
mdp.39015059391691	He carries a hand- bag and a big suit case. ” “ Yellow? ” asked Blackie excitedly.
mdp.39015059391691	He paid cash for them; and he may do with them as he likes. ” “ But how did he get so many? ” “ Bought them. ” Mr. Spooger considered.
mdp.39015059391691	He's most licked me. ” “ What brought on the battle?
mdp.39015059391691	How about you?
mdp.39015059391691	How are they?"
mdp.39015059391691	How did you come out with the houses, Jim? ” “ Not so badly, ” said Wallingford, brightening.
mdp.39015059391691	How is his health now? ” “ Could n't be better,"returned Mr. Hammond.
mdp.39015059391691	How long an en- gagement do you guarantee me? ” “ One minute,"returned Violet, tearing a piece of insertion out of her gown.
mdp.39015059391691	How much do I get back out of my thou- sand?

mdp.39015059391691	I wonder why he does n't buy the Item? ” “ He wo n't need to,"decided Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	I'd be a better man. ” “ Still plenty of money in sight down there, is there?"
mdp.39015059391691	I'm agin you; see?
mdp.39015059391691	If you chose to sell any of the stock, how much would you want for it?"
mdp.39015059391691	Is n't that fair, Mr. Bezazzum? ” “ Hear!
mdp.39015059391691	Is this allegation true? ” “ I refuse to answer."
mdp.39015059391691	Is this fair? ” Violet Bonnie nearly choked.
mdp.39015059391691	Is this one of Mrs. Hammond's miniatures?
mdp.39015059391691	It has n't been doing a paying business for years, has it? ” “ I should say not, ” confessed Sickels.
mdp.39015059391691	It is five thousand acres in extent! ” “ Is it all under cultivation?"
mdp.39015059391691	It makes me feel so old, and I wo n't be old! ” “ That's it, is it?
mdp.39015059391691	Now it keeps me so broke that I'm a rich man and take a holiday if I have seven dollars in my pocket. ” “ Why did n't you sell?
mdp.39015059391691	Now, gentlemen, what shall it be?

mdp.39015059391691	Where are my handkerchiefs?

mdp.39015059391691	Will you? ” “ There's nothing else in sight. ” “ Here's your five thousand back,"and Walling- ford handed him the money.

mdp.39015059391691	“ And what'll I have'em do? ” asked Mike Dim- ple, puzzled as to his duties.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Any other remarks? ” asked Mr. B. Guile, formally but hastily.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Anybody else? ” The black- freckled young man with the nose critically surveyed the contestants as he rolled a cigarette.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Are n't you going back? ” demanded Blackie, surprised.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Are there any more strawberries?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Are you on the dead level about this? ” “ Why, certainly I am!
mdp.39015059391691	“ Are you selling any stock? ” asked Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Back?
mdp.39015059391691	“ But how did you get in? ” puzzled Blackie.
mdp.39015059391691	“ But who's father?
mdp.39015059391691	“ But you do n't think I'm sending that answer to President Falls, do you?
mdp.39015059391691	“ But you want your money first, do n't you?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Can I trust Charley Jackson with a thousand dollars?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Can you blame him? ” inquired Blackie.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Church opens some place around breakfast- time, do n't it? ” “ Eleven o'clock.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Come on, Dan, tell me, honestly, what do you think about it?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Delancy?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Did I understand the gentleman to say that he offered a compromise? ” he queried in tones of intense thought.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Did you try buying any at the factory? ” he asked, eager for news of Blackie.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Do you expect it back? ” asked Blount.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Do you know how I stumbled on that lucky minute?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Do you know what the political thieves and outcasts are trying to do in this town?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Do you mind if I give him knock- out drops? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Does nobody ever take anybody's word in this town? ” he dis- gustedly wanted to know.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Eh, Crompers?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Eighty? ” Alec still stood in indecision.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Fannie's there, and Violet wo n't let her go home. ” “ Give my regards to Violet Bonnie, wo n't you? ” begged Sickels.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Fine evening, is n't it? ” he ventured.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Have a little relief? ” offered Wallingford, who was an habitual good Samaritan with liquor.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Have n't you cleaned up on that yet?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Have you had value received for this? ” he inquired, now glaring at Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	“ He admits that he tricked us. ” “ Was clever, was n't it? ” agreed Wallingford, pausing to admire himself.
mdp.39015059391691	“ He had enough of sun engines to last him a lifetime. ” “ How do you know? ” retorted Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Hello, Bessmer; how's Oak Center? ” the dentist greeted the stranger.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Here's'Friend's?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Honest, am I? ” and Violet hurried to the mir- ror.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How about it, boys? ” suggested Lybarger, glancing particularly at Sam Harvey.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How about you, Mr. Wallingford?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ How could they do that? ” he asked with the keen interest of a good business man.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How did you know there were two companies? ” he de- manded in a panic.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How do you know? ” sharply asked Closby, iurning upon him a scared countenance.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How long shall you be in the city? ”"It depends upon local financial conditions.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How much did you get for your share? ” he wanted to know.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How much do you want for your three hundred thousand dollars'worth of stock?
mdp.39015059391691	“ How much is thirty- five times a hundred and twenty- five?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ How much money did you propose to invest in an amusement park? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How much of the operating company stock would you sell? ” The brothers glanced at each other incredulously.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How much will you give?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ How soon will you be up? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How's that for legerdemain? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015059391691	“ How's the machine coming on, Ed?
mdp.39015059391691	“ I believe it, ” replied Blackie courteously, passing back the paper; “ but why be so mournful about it?
mdp.39015059391691	“ I suppose I'm up against it, eh?
mdp.39015059391691	“ I want you to send a policeman down here right away to arrest J. Rufus Wallingford. ”"Is he back in town? ” asked Jack Tawney.
mdp.39015059391691	“ I was just talking with the police department about your arrest. ”"Is that so?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ I was n't, ” confessed the defiantly truthfi?
mdp.39015059391691	“ I wonder how much the city council would take to let me pay my hotel bill and leave town? ” he pondered.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is Jack Tawney still chief of police? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is n't that about in line with what we suspected, Yard? ” Wallingford, suddenly aware that Blackie was addressing him, grunted.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is that all?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is that club still retarding progress in Prize City? ” inquired Wallingford, remembering Ham- mond's bitter partisanship.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is there no honor among you?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is this Mr. Steven Saghorn?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is this Mr. Thompson? ” asked the suave voice of Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Is this by way of restitution? ” he asked, as- suming his severest Bible- class expression.
mdp.39015059391691	“ It may not pay dividends for five years to come, but I'll bring it to par value before then. ”"Did you help get me into this, Will Bessmer?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Just we three in it, eh? ” “ Well, the fact of the matter is that Mr. Kreiger owns two- thirds, ” Wallingford cheerfully told him.
mdp.39015059391691	“ La who? ” demanded Violet Bonnie, slipping from the arm to the seat of her chair and leaning forward with eager interest.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Me?
mdp.39015059391691	“ My Bessmer stock? ” he remarked, poking a pen behind his left ear, which was better suited for the purpose than his right one.
mdp.39015059391691	“ No trouble to find investors, I suppose? ” he ven- tured.
mdp.39015059391691	“ No, Blackie, I?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Now what do you want? ” he asked.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Now what's the matter?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Now, as one detective to an- other, what did he say? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Say, how does Closby make this stuff?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Simple, is n't it?
mdp.39015059391691	“ So you are the one who has the balance of stock hidden away? ” he commented.
mdp.39015059391691	“ That's right; you did n't know about Melissa, did you? ” inquired Violet, with a flush of anger which ended in a laugh.
mdp.39015059391691	“ The booger man, eh? ” repeated Blackie, smil- ing.
mdp.39015059391691	“ The city owns the electric- light plant, I believe? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ The committee?
mdp.39015059391691	“ The sooner it's there the better it is for your mine? ” Another tilt.
mdp.39015059391691	“ The whole town's comin'up Main Street, an'they say they're goana hang both of youse on top o'the big derrick. ” “ But for what?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Then I ca n't get stung if I do business with him? ” he ventured.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Then, yes. ” “ Will Mr. Jackson do what he promises?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ There is n't anything they could pinch us for, is there, Jim?
mdp.39015059391691	“ They're our watchmen. ” “ Where are they? ” “ Wherever the most excitement is, ” returned Frank with a grin.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Wake me up when the boy comes, wo n't you? ” The reply of J. Rufus to that request was inarticu- late, as he shuffled painfully back to bed.
mdp.39015059391691	“ We have some great fights. ” “ What is your business, if I may ask?
mdp.39015059391691	“ We'd have to entrust you with the money, I suppose? ” ventured Mr. Collop with professional caution.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Well, Dan, what do you think of the piece? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Well, you see what I'm up against, do n't you?
mdp.39015059391691	“ What are you going to start? ” “ I wo n't make up my mind until just before dinner- time,"announced Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What did he say? ” he insisted.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What did we spend it for, Blackie? ” “ Why, do n't you remember? ” returned Blackie reproachfully.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What did we spend it for, Blackie? ” “ Why, do n't you remember? ” returned Blackie reproachfully.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What did you say?
mdp.39015059391691	“ What do you intend to do?
mdp.39015059391691	“ What do you manage, prin- cipally? ” “ The oil- can, till the engineer hid it, ” Blackie in- formed him with regret.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What do you think of the prospects of this mine? ” asked Wallingford, bending forward with apparent anxiety.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What do you want with a boy in the middle of the night? ” he demanded."
mdp.39015059391691	“ What do you want? ” he finally de- manded, his eyes, however, still remaining at the diamond level.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What do you want?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ What does Prize City need? ” they chorused.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What else did he say? ” Wallingford was anx- ious to discover.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What in the name of heaven do you call that noise? ” he implored.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What right has a man to be a stranger, anyhow? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What success are you having with it? ” Mr. Dillon restored his toys to their original po- sition.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What time is it?
mdp.39015059391691	“ What time is it?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ What will Violet Bonnie say? ” he wanted to know.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What will you take for your farm? ” “ I never do business on Sunday,"asserted Dad Thompson sanctimoniously.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What'll you give me for it? ”"A thousand dollars,"replied Wallingford promptly.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What's all that machinery for they put off back there? ” he next inquired.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What's it for? ” he asked, quite natur- ally.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What's the difference? ” laughed Steele.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What's the excitement?
mdp.39015059391691	“ What's the matter with you? ” he asked, sud- denly remembering that Blackie had scarcely spoken except under compulsion.
mdp.39015059391691	“ What's your line- mines? ” asked Blackie, chalking his cue.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Whatchyou want? ” rumbled the deep voice of Foreman McCorkle.
mdp.39015059391691	“ When did he get in? ” “ Yesterday,"replied Toad.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where are you going? ” asked Wallingford in surprise.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where are you going? ” demanded Closby, jumping up also, his usually ruddy face now turning a deep scarlet.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where did you dig it up? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where did you sit? ” A THIRTY- DAY OPTION 165"In the left stage box,"replied Wallingford in- dignantly.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where have you been?. ” “ I rode in the caboose,"replied Toad cheerfully.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where is Onomo, Vi? ” asked Mrs. Walling- ford, with an innocent intention to lead gradually, away from this embarrassing topic.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where is it, boys? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where will I find one of them? ” This time there was a considerable hesitation be- fore he replied, “ Well, I'm Alec Dougalbobber."
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where's he stopping?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where's my ten thousand dol- lars?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where's one of the Dougalbobbers?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Where's the chauffeur, Toad? ” “ He stopped for a stew, and he got it, ” replied the boy.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Which of you is next? ” And brutal speculation kindled his eye as he looked them over.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Which one? ” demanded McCorkle.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Who gets it? ” demanded Jinks Woods, stand- ing on tiptoe in his eagerness.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Who was the boy, and what else did he say?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Who's run- ning this mine? ” “ The Dougalbobber brothers, ” was the prompt and rather emphatic response.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Who's taking this train?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Who's the party on? ” “ It's on you, I guess, ” came from the man who had laughed.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why 166 WALLINGFORD IN HIS PRIME all this grouch against Dillon?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why ca n't we make them take it back? ” Mrs. Davidson wanted to know.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why ca n't we sell it?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why could n't we get out of taking that stock? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why did n't you tell me? ”.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why do n't you grab it? ” “ Nobody dares,"regretted Mr. Jackson.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why do n't you sell your Bessmer stock? ” sug- gested Petey.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why not? ” demanded Wallingford, laughing.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why should he?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why would n't it be a ripping good novelty for us all to go into trade?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why, you blooming fool, how did you come to fall for it?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Why?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Will you buy our houses?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Will you excuse me a moment while I step down to the of- fice?"
mdp.39015059391691	“ Will you say that louder?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Wo n't you have a cigar with me? ” “ Much obliged, ” accepted the postmaster, putting the cigar in his pocket.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Would you call this piffling little amuse- ment revenge?
mdp.39015059391691	“ Would you seriously contemplate selling all? ” he asked quietly.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You do n't mean to say you were stung? ” in- quired Blackie softly.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You do n't suppose I'd put a hoodoo on one of my own places, do you?
mdp.39015059391691	“ You do n't want cash for this amount! ” pro- COMING ON 419 “ Is Mr Daw all right? ” he wanted to know.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You expect to have a town over there by and by? ” The aeroplane tilted once more, its thin wafer of a fore rudder cleaving the way.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You have a bunch of hired wallopers, have n't you? ” asked Wallingford.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You know Blackie's home, do n't you? ” “ Is that so! ” exclaimed Wallingford, and uncon- sciously threw more speed on the car.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You mean that you intend to start a straight business, with no trick about it? ” he wanted to know, retaining the check that he had been about.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You said, last night, you wanted some money, did n't you, Binky? ” he began.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You understand what I want, do n't you, Mr. Jackson? ” and he proffered two five- hun- dred- dollar bills.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You wo n't take it as deserting your colors, Benssy, if I book Rickey for his next hun- dred, will you? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015059391691	“ You're about a week late in your trip to Chicago, are n't you? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015059391691	“ Your client?
mdp.39015059391691	” “ Honest, is she that awful?"
mdp.39015023947578	'Honor bright?' mdp.39015023947578 *"What seemed to be the reason you said that?"
mdp.39015023947578	A fellow can love you in jail, ca n't he?
mdp.39015023947578	A fellow can tie a knot, or he can un- tie it, ca n't he? mdp.39015023947578 A hundred dollars, eh?"
mdp.39015023947578	A stone on it, and the river?
mdp.39015023947578	About what?
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't I been sayin'that right along?
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't I been tellin'you you was a fool to be scared of an old feller like White- Whiskers? mdp.39015023947578 Ai n't it curyus how a feller catches onto a thing like that all to once?"
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't it?
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't it?
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't that better than beatin'him up? mdp.39015023947578 Ai n't you heerd?"
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't you told the police?
mdp.39015023947578	And did you get him?
mdp.39015023947578	And does the name Jones bring back the memory of any rememberance to you?
mdp.39015023947578	And he ai n't ever hit you yet?
mdp.39015023947578	And he says,'Snooks, did you hear what the Ladies'Temperance League did last night?' mdp.39015023947578 And if Schrecken- heim did those claws, you'll take Syrilla away from this show?
mdp.39015023947578	And now, having shown our unity of interest with young Mr. Turner, there can be no harm in telling us where that beer is, can there?
mdp.39015023947578	And now, how aged was the dog when he was purloined away from you?
mdp.39015023947578	And the fiends in human form that stole him are to be given the full limit of the law?
mdp.39015023947578	And then come back and tell you what it says?
mdp.39015023947578	And then what?
mdp.39015023947578	And what did that say?
mdp.39015023947578	And what happened?
mdp.39015023947578	And what if she does?
mdp.39015023947578	And you can arrest a feller and lodge him in jail?
mdp.39015023947578	And you do n't care, dearie, that I'll be creepy all through the show, do you?
mdp.39015023947578	And you was there?
mdp.39015023947578	And you would have dared to pull the trigger?
mdp.39015023947578	And, when found,said Mr. Gubb,"the said stolen goods is to be returned to you?"
mdp.39015023947578	Are they in this house?
mdp.39015023947578	Are ye foolin'?
mdp.39015023947578	Are you going to leave the thing in Gubb's hands?
mdp.39015023947578	Are you hungry again?
mdp.39015023947578	Are you prepared to contract to say you'll pay me just for hunting for him?
mdp.39015023947578	Are you this here detective feller?
mdp.39015023947578	Billy,he said severely,"is this another of your jokes?"
mdp.39015023947578	Bilton had n't signed that side?
mdp.39015023947578	Boss,he said with a laugh,"I showed you where that murdered man's bones was buried, wo n't you stake me to a meal?"
mdp.39015023947578	But I guess it will be — hey, old pal? mdp.39015023947578 But how about putting Correspondence School Detective Gubb onto the job?"
mdp.39015023947578	But some one was your guardian in charge of you, no doubt?
mdp.39015023947578	But what would I say when I lec- tured about him? mdp.39015023947578 But wo n't you come out?"
mdp.39015023947578	But you did n't?
mdp.39015023947578	But you were here?
mdp.39015023947578	But, Snooksy,begged Mrs. Turner,"do n't you know they'll send me to the penitentiary if you go back to that old jail?"'
mdp.39015023947578	Can you tell me, from your knowledge and belief, if the work there done was the work of a Mr. Herr Schreckenheim? mdp.39015023947578 Clue?"
mdp.39015023947578	Come for the dog?
mdp.39015023947578	Common sense would tell you that, would n't it? mdp.39015023947578 Crowds?
mdp.39015023947578	Detecting ai n't very good right now?
mdp.39015023947578	Detective?
mdp.39015023947578	Did he fight you?
mdp.39015023947578	Did you do all that?
mdp.39015023947578	Did you notice which side he had not signed?
mdp.39015023947578	Did you see the pistol?
mdp.39015023947578	Did you tell him it was upstairs, in bed?
mdp.39015023947578	Did you, indeed?
mdp.39015023947578	Did you?
mdp.39015023947578	Disguised up?
mdp.39015023947578	Do n't I know it?
mdp.39015023947578	Do n't I know that?
mdp.39015023947578	Do n't seem hardly necess'ry, does it?
mdp.39015023947578	Do you desire to wish me to understand that they are not the work of Mr. Herr Schreckenheim?
mdp.39015023947578	Do you know Jack Har- burger?
mdp.39015023947578	Do you know what you have there?
mdp.39015023947578	Do you know which you signed last?
mdp.39015023947578	Does a dog- house drive all of ye crazy? mdp.39015023947578 Does he?"
mdp.39015023947578	Does — does she glance through to about near to page fourteen?
mdp.39015023947578	Except for that, you've got her all right, have you?
mdp.39015023947578	Expecting me?
mdp.39015023947578	Fight? mdp.39015023947578 Got it?"
mdp.39015023947578	Gubb,he said,"did that fellow tell you what his business was?"
mdp.39015023947578	Gubb? mdp.39015023947578 Half for you and half for me?'
mdp.39015023947578	Have you got it now?
mdp.39015023947578	Have you heard from Miss Syrilla recently of late?
mdp.39015023947578	He is n't in any way inter- ested in my affairs or in the affairs of Mrs. Henry K. Lippett, is he?
mdp.39015023947578	He is, is he?
mdp.39015023947578	He'd know you?
mdp.39015023947578	Hit me?
mdp.39015023947578	Honest?
mdp.39015023947578	How I done it?
mdp.39015023947578	How goes it for to- night, Philo?
mdp.39015023947578	How is he shootin'you to death?
mdp.39015023947578	How long have you been married?
mdp.39015023947578	How much might you pay to be let work on a case like that?
mdp.39015023947578	How'd I know but what you was a detective?
mdp.39015023947578	I can see that,said Mr. Gubb;"but what's the uselettin'me win it if I've got to bring it back?"
mdp.39015023947578	I come to you, did n't I?
mdp.39015023947578	I do n't suppose,said Mr. Gubb, when he had screwed up his courage,"you have had no tele- graphic communications from Miss Syrilla?"
mdp.39015023947578	I meet him at your room, do I?
mdp.39015023947578	I presume to suppose,he said,"that Mr. Wiggins asked the stock- keeper for a new bulb to replace one that was burned out?"
mdp.39015023947578	I said to Gribble,said Mr. Witzel slowly,'"Gribble, is this the town where a detective by the name of Grubb lives?'"
mdp.39015023947578	I say, old chap,he said in a pleasant and well- bred tone,"stop waving that dangerous- looking weapon at me, will you?
mdp.39015023947578	I told you I'd got to learn it better, did n't I?
mdp.39015023947578	I wonder if William J. Burns has a son? mdp.39015023947578 I'd make a guess that Mrs. Canterby do n't buy her writing- paper off you neither?"
mdp.39015023947578	If you wish to help us in this case, Miss Kil- fillan,he said,"will you go to the jail and ask Snooks where is the beer and the beer- opener?"
mdp.39015023947578	In his room? mdp.39015023947578 In other words,"said Mr. Burch,"you signed one side before Mr. Bilton signed and one side after he signed, but you do n't know which?"
mdp.39015023947578	In referring to human form, ma'am,he asked,"do you include them oorangootangs and apes?"
mdp.39015023947578	Is the oubliette prepared?
mdp.39015023947578	It stands to reason, if a crook wants to be a crook, he's got to be crooked, ai n't he?
mdp.39015023947578	Knowin'you are a detective makes me all nervous,complained Mr. Critz;"and a man in my business has to have a steady hand, do n't he?"
mdp.39015023947578	Let me go, will you, Wittaker? mdp.39015023947578 Me?"
mdp.39015023947578	Metterbrook? mdp.39015023947578 Mister Dorgan,"he said, in quite another tone than he had used to his laborers,"should I fetch that wild man cage to the grounds for you to- day?"
mdp.39015023947578	Mr. Philo Gubb?
mdp.39015023947578	Nine, eh?
mdp.39015023947578	Nobody'd know a swell dresser like I am in this rig, would he? mdp.39015023947578 Now, then,"said Philo Gubb, when he had arranged his captive to suit his taste,"what you got to say?"
mdp.39015023947578	Now, this case of mine — What sort of a case would you pay to work on?
mdp.39015023947578	Now, what do you say, Detective Gubb? mdp.39015023947578 Now, what is all this?"
mdp.39015023947578	Oh, this here paper- hanging and decorating stuff? mdp.39015023947578 Oh, would you?"
mdp.39015023947578	Old Hard- Boiled? mdp.39015023947578 On both sides,"said Mr. Gubb,"and who comes to your house most?"
mdp.39015023947578	One hundred dollars, eh?
mdp.39015023947578	One of what?
mdp.39015023947578	Paper- hanging or deteckating?
mdp.39015023947578	Pay for bein'al- lowed to sharpen up and keep bright? mdp.39015023947578 Pinkish, and bald?
mdp.39015023947578	Right now?
mdp.39015023947578	Riverbank Country Club, Duffers'Golf Trophy, 1909? mdp.39015023947578 Sal?"
mdp.39015023947578	Say, Gubb, where's Aunt Martha?
mdp.39015023947578	Say, me a paper- hanger?
mdp.39015023947578	Say, pard,he said,"how about giving me a, bite?
mdp.39015023947578	Say, what's the joke O'Hara was cooldn'up, anyway?
mdp.39015023947578	See here, bo,he said suddenly,"is this straight about you being a detective, or is that a bluff, too?"
mdp.39015023947578	See here, if he's shoot- in'at me like that, it ai n't no joke, is it? mdp.39015023947578 She and him has been boardin'with Mother Smith, ai n't they?
mdp.39015023947578	So Gribble says to me,said Mr. Witzel,"'Why do n't you and Gubb combine?'
mdp.39015023947578	So the question is, old chap, where am I to be panted?
mdp.39015023947578	So you wo n't interfere with Joe in the pursoot 77 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE of his dooty no more, will you, Gubby?
mdp.39015023947578	So?
mdp.39015023947578	Somebody named with that cognomen is writ- ing letters to you like a Black Hand would?
mdp.39015023947578	Tactfulness is strongly ad- vised into the lessons of the Rising Sun Deteckative Agency Correspondence School of Deteckating —"Slocum, Ohio?
mdp.39015023947578	That Winterberry? mdp.39015023947578 That ai n't a square game,"said Mr. Gubb seriously,"is it?"
mdp.39015023947578	That ai n't any reason I ca n't sell it, is it? mdp.39015023947578 That mail- order detective?
mdp.39015023947578	That so?
mdp.39015023947578	That's odd, ai n't it?
mdp.39015023947578	That's our affair, ai n't it?
mdp.39015023947578	That's so, ai n't it?
mdp.39015023947578	The remains of what?
mdp.39015023947578	The widow?
mdp.39015023947578	Then you know nothing regarding the — the articles young Turner is charged with stealing?
mdp.39015023947578	Through? ” O'Toole asked Wiggins. mdp.39015023947578 Turbine?"
mdp.39015023947578	Und how does she get those claws on her?
mdp.39015023947578	Under Mr. Bilton's name again?
mdp.39015023947578	Want me to scare him?
mdp.39015023947578	Was it this side that men- tions Mrs. Doblin, or this side that mentions Mrs. Kinsey? mdp.39015023947578 Was this a rooster or a hen?"
mdp.39015023947578	Was you ever shot with a cannon?
mdp.39015023947578	Was — was there one?
mdp.39015023947578	Wasthe news into it good?
mdp.39015023947578	We tol'him one thousand, did n't we? mdp.39015023947578 We want to make him disgorge first, do n't we?
mdp.39015023947578	Well, I put the pea down like this, and I dare you to bet which shell she's goin'to be under, and you do n't bet, see? mdp.39015023947578 Well, he was, was n't he?"
mdp.39015023947578	Well, just because him and me had words in fun,said Mr. Wiggins, “ I leave it to you, ca n't a man say words in fun once in a while? ”.
mdp.39015023947578	Well, what if I did buy it?
mdp.39015023947578	Well, why do n't you hunt for it, then?
mdp.39015023947578	Well, you got plated spoons and forks, ai n't you?
mdp.39015023947578	Well,'twa'n't ourn, was it?
mdp.39015023947578	What beer and what beer- opener?

mdp.39015023947578	What did he do?
mdp.39015023947578	What did it do?
mdp.39015023947578	What did you do with them?
mdp.39015023947578	What do you want I should do?

mdp.39015023947578	Wo n't he come out?
mdp.39015023947578	Wo n't you take a seat onto a chair?
mdp.39015023947578	Yes, but they're not on me now, are they?
mdp.39015023947578	Yes, sir?
mdp.39015023947578	Yes,said the Judge,"and Mr. O'Hara blotted it with a piece of blotting- paper, did he not?"
mdp.39015023947578	Yes?
mdp.39015023947578	You ai n't got a locket with the photo'of your mother's picture into it?
mdp.39015023947578	You are, hey?
mdp.39015023947578	You did what?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't aim to sell the gold- brick to him, do you?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't believe in transmi- gration, do you?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't expect to find your missing party in that wad of wool, do you, Gubb?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't mean old Mr. Westcote, do you?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't object to my attempting to try?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't, hey?
mdp.39015023947578	You have done nothing yet?
mdp.39015023947578	You never knew Henry K. Lippett, did you?
mdp.39015023947578	You remember when Griggs'& Barton's Circus burned down years ago? mdp.39015023947578 You will get Snooks out of jail, wo n't you?
mdp.39015023947578	You're who?
mdp.39015023947578	You've seen him have a pea- shooter?
mdp.39015023947578	You?
mdp.39015023947578	'Cause why?
mdp.39015023947578	'My dear young lady,'I said,'is Mr. Gribble in?'
mdp.39015023947578	'Where'll1 sign it?'
mdp.39015023947578	1"And he came back?"
mdp.39015023947578	105 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"What if we have?"
mdp.39015023947578	122 THE TWO- CENT STAMP"Yar, hey? ” said Slippery.
mdp.39015023947578	133 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"What do you want to ask him?"
mdp.39015023947578	134 THE TWO- CENT STAMP"Do n't you love your old auntie any more?
mdp.39015023947578	166 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE “ How about it, Chicago man?"
mdp.39015023947578	177 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"What's the matter?"
mdp.39015023947578	183 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"What do you think about it?"
mdp.39015023947578	207 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"What the dickens?"
mdp.39015023947578	224 WAFFLES AND MUSTARD"You have possession of the Waffles dog at the present time?"

mdp.39015023947578	327 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE “ Hungry?"
mdp.39015023947578	335 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"You will work on this case, Mr. Gubb, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015023947578	346 PHILO GUBB'S GREATEST CASE"And what does Wiggins remark on that sub- ject?"

mdp.39015023947578	62 THE EAGLE'S CLAWS"Claws?
mdp.39015023947578	86"Who sent you here, anyway?"
mdp.39015023947578	93 PHILO GUBB, THE DETECTIVE"But how can you tell what's goin'to happen?"
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't Mother Smith been handin'the Chicken money when he needed it, because he said he was workin'up this job with us?
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't five hundred enough?
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't that so, Pete?"
mdp.39015023947578	Ai n't that so?
mdp.39015023947578	All this is strictly confidential, of course?
mdp.39015023947578	Always right on the job when there's crime being done, ai n't you?
mdp.39015023947578	And I started to say back something pleasant, but what I said was,'Please, missus, wo n't you give a poor cove a hand- out?
mdp.39015023947578	And me and the kid! ” “ To what kid do you refer to?"
mdp.39015023947578	And now, will you just come across the hall for one minute?"
mdp.39015023947578	And what did I do?
mdp.39015023947578	And what do you think it did?"
mdp.39015023947578	And what do you think that pig did?"
mdp.39015023947578	And when the Chicken do n't come back, ai n't she goin'to guess something happened to the Chicken?"
mdp.39015023947578	And your meals?".
mdp.39015023947578	At his side was a mass of lilac bushes, seem- 109 THE UN- BURGLARS"Well, did you get it?"
mdp.39015023947578	Bilton?"
mdp.39015023947578	Blue eyes?
mdp.39015023947578	Broken into?
mdp.39015023947578	But did n't Sal know all three of us was goin'out on that job that night?
mdp.39015023947578	But facts are facts, ai n't they?"
mdp.39015023947578	But how did it come that he had pansy stains on the knees of his trousers?
mdp.39015023947578	But hurry up, will you?"
mdp.39015023947578	But should we, as citizens, and as members of the Prohibition Party, permit you, Mr. Gubb, to land Aunt Martha Turner in the calaboose?"
mdp.39015023947578	But you do n't believe it could have been Henry, do you?
mdp.39015023947578	Can you inform me where a chap can get a pair of trousers hereabout?"
mdp.39015023947578	Canterby?"
mdp.39015023947578	Could I not save all expense of tights by having myself tattooed so that my skin would represent scales?
mdp.39015023947578	Could you?'

mdp.39015023947578	Is this job com- plete?
mdp.39015023947578	It ai n't goin'to do me no good, is it?"
mdp.39015023947578	It was all right — nice trip — until we got to Dubuque, and then what happened?
mdp.39015023947578	It was then he heard a voice: —"Say, are you the feller they call Bugg?"
mdp.39015023947578	It would n't be nobody's business but yours and mine, would it?
mdp.39015023947578	It's only right that a thief should pay for the time and trouble he puts you to, ai n't it?"

mdp.39015023947578	Just because a man buys eggs once — or twice — ai n't any reason he should n't go into the business of egg- selling, is it?

mdp.39015023947578	Maybe if I was to pay you for your time and trouble five dollars a night?
mdp.39015023947578	Mayhap he was speakin't'ye iv his arrist? ”"He was conversing with me of that occurrence,"said Philo Gubb.

mdp.39015023947578	Now what is the answer?"
mdp.39015023947578	Now, is this a threatening letter or a scurrilous letter?"
mdp.39015023947578	Now, what's all this nonsense about shooting me?"
mdp.39015023947578	Now, where would you rush out to borrow a book if you wanted to borrow one in a hurry? ” “ To Mrs. Canterby's house!"
mdp.39015023947578	Now, which is she?"
mdp.39015023947578	Now, who was murdered, and when was he murdered, and why was he murdered?
mdp.39015023947578	O'Toole?"
mdp.39015023947578	Old Had'was bound to have his joke, was n't he?"
mdp.39015023947578	Old John Westcote, and pansy stains on his trouser knees, was it?
mdp.39015023947578	On the terms we settled on?"
mdp.39015023947578	Ought I to arrest the ele- phants and the camels?"

mdp.39015023947578	Say, Gubby, what does this old guy look like?"
mdp.39015023947578	Say, did he have a coughin'spell and choke red in the face?
mdp.39015023947578	Say, pard, how about giving me a half- dollar to get breakfast?
mdp.39015023947578	See?

mdp.39015023947578	The chicken was a fancy bird, ai n't it so?"
mdp.39015023947578	The few sleepy passengers did not open their eyes; the conductor, as he took Mr. Gubb's ticket, merely remarked,"Joining the show at West Higgins?"
mdp.39015023947578	The question is, ‘ Did you murder him alone, or did you and William Gribble murder him together? ” Mr. Witzel- Wetzel- Wetzler's mouth fell open.
mdp.39015023947578	The question was: Who was the murderer?
mdp.39015023947578	The third window on the top floor?"
mdp.39015023947578	There's the eagle you did on me — do you see any claws on it?

mdp.39015023947578	Would you rather see me go to prison — suffer?"
mdp.39015023947578	You are a detective, and I'm a detective, Witzel or Wotzel or Wutzel — who cares?
mdp.39015023947578	You do n't believe that, do you?"

mdp.39015023947578	in the'Hearthstone and Farm- side,'did you?"
mdp.39015023947578	says the Judge, tickled,"and how is your uncle, may I ask?"
mdp.39015023947578	that paper- hanger- detective fellow?

mdp.39015023947578	“ And did Mr. O'Hara say anything more on the occasion when you signed the will?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ And have him be the first man- monkey to speak the human language, only he's got a cold and ca n't talk to- day?
mdp.39015023947578	“ And maybe you do n't recall who ever bought writing- paper like this into the case here?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ And no clue?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ And what's your name?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Are you Detective Gubb?
mdp.39015023947578	“ Aunt Martha Turner?

mdp.39015023947578	“ Could n't you borry an ape from the menag- erie?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Could n't you put Orlando in it, and get up a spiel about him?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Did I understand the meaning of what you said was that you saw a Fat Lady named Syrilla?".
mdp.39015023947578	“ Did you 80 THE OUBLIETTE see a man in the window across the street?

mdp.39015023947578	“ I'd look nice explainin'anything, would n't I?
mdp.39015023947578	“ If I gave you five dollars to hire you to hunt for them, could you find them seven bottles of beer and that beer- opener for me?

mdp.39015023947578	“ What did he want?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ What in the dickens are you, anyway?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ What you come about was this — this"— he looked at the letter in his hand —"this Bald Impostor, was n't it?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ What you want Ah shu'd do fo'it?".
mdp.39015023947578	“ What you want with it?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ What'd he find up there?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ What's that you remarked about?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ What's the matter?
mdp.39015023947578	“ What's this for? ” he asked, and Wixy suddenly blazed forth in anger.
mdp.39015023947578	“ What's this?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Who was up?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Who you detectin'for now?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Will you step inside into the room?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ With who?
mdp.39015023947578	“ Wo n't you be seated upon one of them bundles of wall- paper?".
mdp.39015023947578	“ Yes, sir, Mr. Gubb, Mr.- ah, what is it?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ You a Tasmanian Wild Man?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ You ai n't been after the dynamiters, have you?''
mdp.39015023947578	“ You do n't aim to believe nothing of that sort, do you?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ You do n't believe I could do it, do you?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ You do n't think you look like a Tas- 38 THE PET manian Wild Man, do you?
mdp.39015023947578	“ You know me and Snooksy was always chums, do n't you, Gubby?
mdp.39015023947578	“ You left the pig alone in the alley by itself?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ You're a paper- hanger, ai n't you?"
mdp.39015023947578	“ Your boat is not into a workable condition?"
mdp.39015023947578	• i"See?"
mdp.39015023947578	•"Are you ready to die?"
mdp.39015023947578	•"What do you know about beer and beer- openers?"
mdp.39015039723500	A walk?
mdp.39015039723500	Ah, Carstairs, what's the use being crude? mdp.39015039723500 Ah, forget itl I ca n't help it if Miss Lanyard suddenly decides to take a walk, can I?"
mdp.39015039723500	And you were going thirty- five miles an hour?
mdp.39015039723500	Anybody dead?
mdp.39015039723500	Anybody ever see this before?
mdp.39015039723500	Apropos of what?
mdp.39015039723500	Are you deaf?
mdp.39015039723500	Are you sure of that? mdp.39015039723500 Backwards?"
mdp.39015039723500	Besides, how could a man get into a car traveling over thirty- five miles an hour?
mdp.39015039723500	But Stoddard?
mdp.39015039723500	But does that make the list complete? mdp.39015039723500 But how did the coffin, with the diamonds in it, get into Carmody's possession?"
mdp.39015039723500	But suppose he did?
mdp.39015039723500	But this letter? mdp.39015039723500 But what about the night of the murder?"
mdp.39015039723500	But what about yourself? mdp.39015039723500 But what could it be?"
mdp.39015039723500	But where did he go?
mdp.39015039723500	But why should Tarkin take the diamonds to Car- mody's house?
mdp.39015039723500	But you knew Mooreland?
mdp.39015039723500	By the way, the battery of a Waynefleet is in the back, is n't it?
mdp.39015039723500	Ca n't you see? mdp.39015039723500 Can you beat it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Carmody?
mdp.39015039723500	Carstairs, what did you do with Miss Lanyard?
mdp.39015039723500	Could n't you think up a better one?
mdp.39015039723500	Danger?
mdp.39015039723500	Dead?
mdp.39015039723500	Did Garbo tell him?
mdp.39015039723500	Did I make a noise?
mdp.39015039723500	Did Martin Carmody tell you that he is Miss Lan- yard's father?
mdp.39015039723500	Did Miss Lanyard go out for a walk?
mdp.39015039723500	Did it?
mdp.39015039723500	Did n't you call me your confederate just now?
mdp.39015039723500	Did you get out of the car while Garbo worked on it?
mdp.39015039723500	Did you know,he 143 The Back- Seat Murder asked,"that old David Mooreland was the owner of this hotel?"
mdp.39015039723500	Did you see Marsh the day he was murdered?
mdp.39015039723500	Did you see which way that car went?
mdp.39015039723500	Did you stop anywhere along the road?
mdp.39015039723500	Did you?
mdp.39015039723500	Do I get the two grand?
mdp.39015039723500	Do n't you know he's gone in there to torture her?
mdp.39015039723500	Do n't you know?
mdp.39015039723500	Do n't you understand? mdp.39015039723500 Do you know that, or are you only guessing?"
mdp.39015039723500	Does it matter? mdp.39015039723500 Does it matter?
mdp.39015039723500	Eh? mdp.39015039723500 Eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Ever see this before?
mdp.39015039723500	For a good, stiff consideration?
mdp.39015039723500	Get that, 20 A Strange Letter Harrington? mdp.39015039723500 Good place to die — eh, Harrington?"
mdp.39015039723500	Had n't we better look around?
mdp.39015039723500	Had n't you better come back in the morning?
mdp.39015039723500	Harm's way?
mdp.39015039723500	Have you no idea at all, Storm?
mdp.39015039723500	He was n't in the habit of going out bareheaded, was he? mdp.39015039723500 He — er — proved an efficient guide, did n't he?"
mdp.39015039723500	Her — what?
mdp.39015039723500	How can I talk if you dislocate my jaw?
mdp.39015039723500	How can you be sure? mdp.39015039723500 How could anybody slip in when they was n't no- body around?
mdp.39015039723500	How did it happen,he asked,"that Marsh's hat was found in Carmody's house?"
mdp.39015039723500	How did it happen?
mdp.39015039723500	How do you know it is n't? mdp.39015039723500 How is business?"
mdp.39015039723500	How should I know? mdp.39015039723500 How so?"
mdp.39015039723500	How what happened?
mdp.39015039723500	How — how did you get here?
mdp.39015039723500	I did n't say he was n't, did I? mdp.39015039723500 I know, but where did Carstairs get that box?
mdp.39015039723500	I suppose Storm is on his way to Crooked Creek bridge?
mdp.39015039723500	I've got eyes and ears, have n't I?
mdp.39015039723500	If I had a real motive, would n't I know it?
mdp.39015039723500	If I made no noise, what brought you down here?
mdp.39015039723500	If Marsh was murdered on account of that thing you have in your pocket, how come that it is n't in the murderer's pos- session?
mdp.39015039723500	In a hurry, eh? mdp.39015039723500 Is n't he?"
mdp.39015039723500	Is n't it true?
mdp.39015039723500	Is that a promise?
mdp.39015039723500	Is that why you came down?
mdp.39015039723500	Is this how Marsh sat?
mdp.39015039723500	It was true, was n't it?
mdp.39015039723500	It's my car, is n't it? mdp.39015039723500 Joking?
mdp.39015039723500	Just what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015039723500	Kill her?
mdp.39015039723500	Like this?
mdp.39015039723500	Live here?
mdp.39015039723500	Look here,surlily,"you are n't going to welch?"
mdp.39015039723500	Looking for anything in those ashes?
mdp.39015039723500	Marsh was n't in the habit of greasing the soles of his shoes, was he?
mdp.39015039723500	Marsh went out? mdp.39015039723500 Miss Lanyard,"he asked,"what were you doing in the attic a little while ago?"
mdp.39015039723500	Mr. Marsh? mdp.39015039723500 Mr. Whittaker,"he said,"are you good at reading faces?"
mdp.39015039723500	Murder?
mdp.39015039723500	Murdered?
mdp.39015039723500	Murdered?
mdp.39015039723500	My house?
mdp.39015039723500	Nervous this morning, Harrington? mdp.39015039723500 No hurry, is there?"
mdp.39015039723500	No objection, but do n't you think he ought to rest a little longer?
mdp.39015039723500	No? mdp.39015039723500 Not so good, eh, Tarkin?"
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Now, what's the use kickin'up a fuss?
mdp.39015039723500	Now, would I be likely to tell, after the way you've been treating me? mdp.39015039723500 Oh, I ami""But that was n't your reason for coming here to- night?"
mdp.39015039723500	Oh, Miss Lanyard, you're a nurse, are n't you?
mdp.39015039723500	Oh, do we?
mdp.39015039723500	Oh, he found it?
mdp.39015039723500	Oh, smoking, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Oh, still here, Tarkin? mdp.39015039723500 Oh, would n't I?
mdp.39015039723500	Pretty good, eh? mdp.39015039723500 Queer, eh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Recognize it?
mdp.39015039723500	Remember how many trips you made between the garage and the car while Mr. Harrington was here?
mdp.39015039723500	Ridiculous?
mdp.39015039723500	Roscoe Carstairs?
mdp.39015039723500	Satisfied?
mdp.39015039723500	Say, lay off me, ca n't you? mdp.39015039723500 Say, what's up?
mdp.39015039723500	See anything of Storm's car?
mdp.39015039723500	See how the road swings out in a half circle? mdp.39015039723500 See?"
mdp.39015039723500	See?
mdp.39015039723500	Shall I give him the five thousand?
mdp.39015039723500	She handed you a note?
mdp.39015039723500	Shot himself?
mdp.39015039723500	So you gave up the chase?
mdp.39015039723500	So you think this is the place where David Mooreland was murdered, do you?
mdp.39015039723500	So, it's possible, is n't it,Whittaker suggested,"that Marsh slipped into the car after Garbo had fin- ished his work and gone inside?"
mdp.39015039723500	Stoddard, eh? mdp.39015039723500 Suppose you took the wrong one?
mdp.39015039723500	Tell me,said Whittaker,"did you have any idea as to whether Marsh was struck from the side or from the back?"
mdp.39015039723500	That would be embarrassing, would n't it?
mdp.39015039723500	That's the old, narrow road that leads to the Hill- top View Hotel?
mdp.39015039723500	The attic?
mdp.39015039723500	The left? mdp.39015039723500 The letter?"
mdp.39015039723500	The — what jewels?
mdp.39015039723500	Then you do n't trust me?
mdp.39015039723500	Then you think I'm a fraud?
mdp.39015039723500	Thickset and white- faced? mdp.39015039723500 Think I want to sit here all night?"
mdp.39015039723500	Think so, Storm? mdp.39015039723500 Think so?"
mdp.39015039723500	Think so?
mdp.39015039723500	Thinking of selling out?
mdp.39015039723500	Trouble?
mdp.39015039723500	Two coffins? mdp.39015039723500 Uncertain, eh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Voluntarily? mdp.39015039723500 Want gas?"
mdp.39015039723500	Want to disturb every- body in the house? mdp.39015039723500 Was it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Was there any one else about when you worked on Mr. Marsh's car?
mdp.39015039723500	Well, Stoddard?
mdp.39015039723500	Well, Storm,he now added,"who was the one that looked too innocent?"
mdp.39015039723500	Well, life is a pretty uncertain proposition, is n't it? mdp.39015039723500 Well, then, are n't you going to cut these cords?"
mdp.39015039723500	Well, what of it? mdp.39015039723500 Well, what then?"
mdp.39015039723500	Well, would you mind going up and seeing how Mr. Carmody is getting on?
mdp.39015039723500	Well?
mdp.39015039723500	Were n't you cold?
mdp.39015039723500	What about the letter?
mdp.39015039723500	What am I bid?
mdp.39015039723500	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015039723500	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015039723500	What do you know about this box?
mdp.39015039723500	What do you propose to do with it?
mdp.39015039723500	What do you say, Miss Lanyard?
mdp.39015039723500	What do you want to know?
mdp.39015039723500	What do you want, Tarkin?
mdp.39015039723500	What does it prove, Storm?
mdp.39015039723500	What hap- pened to him?
mdp.39015039723500	What is it?
mdp.39015039723500	What is it?
mdp.39015039723500	What kind?
mdp.39015039723500	What led you to suppose that you would find me here?
mdp.39015039723500	What made you so certain?
mdp.39015039723500	What now?
mdp.39015039723500	What now?
mdp.39015039723500	What was that?
mdp.39015039723500	What was your idea? mdp.39015039723500 What will you bet that I can make her talk?"
mdp.39015039723500	What would we look for? mdp.39015039723500 What would you gain by going to jail?"
mdp.39015039723500	What's Carmody fretting about?
mdp.39015039723500	What's the matter, Harrington? mdp.39015039723500 What's your name?"
mdp.39015039723500	What?
mdp.39015039723500	What?
mdp.39015039723500	What?
mdp.39015039723500	What?
mdp.39015039723500	When was that?
mdp.39015039723500	Where did he go?
mdp.39015039723500	Where did it come from?
mdp.39015039723500	Where did you find it?
mdp.39015039723500	Where did you get that ice pick?
mdp.39015039723500	Where do you suppose a secretary and a nurse would find five thousand?
mdp.39015039723500	Where do you suppose they are taking her?
mdp.39015039723500	Where else would he go?
mdp.39015039723500	Where is Miss Lanyard?
mdp.39015039723500	Where is Miss Lanyard?
mdp.39015039723500	Where is she?
mdp.39015039723500	Where is the letter?
mdp.39015039723500	Which way do you think he went?
mdp.39015039723500	Which way, Tarkin?
mdp.39015039723500	Which way?
mdp.39015039723500	Who admitted you?
mdp.39015039723500	Who are you?
mdp.39015039723500	Who else could have shot him?
mdp.39015039723500	Who else would it be?
mdp.39015039723500	Who is this man?
mdp.39015039723500	Who murdered him?
mdp.39015039723500	Who the deuce are you?
mdp.39015039723500	Who the devil are you?
mdp.39015039723500	Who?
mdp.39015039723500	Why did he want to kill you?
mdp.39015039723500	Why did you kill David Mooreland?
mdp.39015039723500	Why do you want to kill me?
mdp.39015039723500	Why not? mdp.39015039723500 Why on earth should he do that?"
mdp.39015039723500	Why should Marsh do that? mdp.39015039723500 Why should you suppose that?"
mdp.39015039723500	Why, indeed?
mdp.39015039723500	Why?
mdp.39015039723500	Why?
mdp.39015039723500	Will you tell, or will you take the beating of your life? mdp.39015039723500 Will you tell?"
mdp.39015039723500	Will you tell?
mdp.39015039723500	Will you tell?
mdp.39015039723500	With your profound knowledge of feminine wiles, you realize, of course, that when gentleness fails one must try more drastic measures?
mdp.39015039723500	Would n't we have met him if he had done that?
mdp.39015039723500	Yes,said Harrington wonderingly,"Storm found the overalls and the jacket, but how did you find the solution?"
mdp.39015039723500	You are not afraid of burglars, are you, Harrington?
mdp.39015039723500	You are not denying you kidnaped her?
mdp.39015039723500	You did n't see anything of Mr. Marsh yester- day?
mdp.39015039723500	You did n't see anything of the murderer?
mdp.39015039723500	You do n't know anybody that wants to buy a nice garage, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	You found something in the ash heap?
mdp.39015039723500	You give me your word of honor?
mdp.39015039723500	You have n't found any motive, have you?
mdp.39015039723500	You know Tarkin, do n't you? mdp.39015039723500 You know what this note says?"
mdp.39015039723500	You know, do n't you,Tarkin pursued,"that Mr. Marsh will never again sit in this chair?
mdp.39015039723500	You mean when Storm returns from Crooked Creek bridge?
mdp.39015039723500	You saw no weapon, no hand reaching out, or any- thing of that sort?
mdp.39015039723500	You saw the pistol in the mirror?
mdp.39015039723500	You see now how it happened, do n't you?
mdp.39015039723500	You see?
mdp.39015039723500	You think Stoddard is the murderer?
mdp.39015039723500	You want to know who murdered David Mooreland, do n't you?
mdp.39015039723500	You're Mr. Harrington, are n't you? mdp.39015039723500 You've been a long time delivering it — eh, Mr. Harrington?
mdp.39015039723500	Your car is waiting, is n't it? mdp.39015039723500 *Are you a detective in disguise?
mdp.39015039723500	119 CHAPTER XII Iron Bars"Who's there?"
mdp.39015039723500	122 Iron Bars"I infer Miss Lanyard has told you everything?"
mdp.39015039723500	144 Pharaoh's Coffin"Oh, you think so?
mdp.39015039723500	186 The Look of Guilt"Which one?"
mdp.39015039723500	22 A Strange Letter"But you are practically accusing Miss Lanyard and me of plotting your murder?"
mdp.39015039723500	226 In the Glass"Carmody's house?"
mdp.39015039723500	270 Alias Luke Gar bo"How?"
mdp.39015039723500	2?
mdp.39015039723500	54 The Abandoned Hotel"At- attic?"
mdp.39015039723500	6 The Ash Pile"Really?"
mdp.39015039723500	72 The Back- Seat Murder"Any more bids?"
mdp.39015039723500	81 The Back- Seat Murder"You say these doors and windows were locked?"
mdp.39015039723500	84 The Law Takes Its Course"While you were still turned around in your seat and facing him?"
mdp.39015039723500	9 The Back- Seat Murder"You know?
mdp.39015039723500	A bit sweet on her, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	A rescue from what?"
mdp.39015039723500	A thickset man with a very white face — the whitest face in the world?"
mdp.39015039723500	Am I right?"
mdp.39015039723500	And did the imaginary knife give you an inspiration?"
mdp.39015039723500	And kept it, of course?"
mdp.39015039723500	And was it the murderer of Marsh who was now lurking behind the study door?
mdp.39015039723500	And what about Luke Garbo?
mdp.39015039723500	Anyway, did n't you two pledge a sort of partnership night before last?
mdp.39015039723500	Apro — Say, that's a new one, ai n't it?
mdp.39015039723500	Are n't you?"
mdp.39015039723500	Are you a real secretary?"
mdp.39015039723500	Are you in love, Stoddard?"
mdp.39015039723500	But it does n't really prove anything, does it?
mdp.39015039723500	But let's look 230 The Back- Seat Murder"What's up?"
mdp.39015039723500	But tell me, why should a hard- working secretary spend his nights searching an ash pile unless he hoped to find — certain things?"
mdp.39015039723500	But who was the other?
mdp.39015039723500	But why should one cry like that if one did not suffer?
mdp.39015039723500	By the way, did you happen to look in on Mrs. Marsh while you were up- stairs?"
mdp.39015039723500	By the way, has the car been cleaned since the murder?"
mdp.39015039723500	By the way, have you a gun?"
mdp.39015039723500	By the way, how did you come?"
mdp.39015039723500	By the way,"and his face clouded of a sudden,"if anything should happen to him —""Yes,"with a nod,"people would probably blame you and me?
mdp.39015039723500	Ca n't prove it, though, so what's the use talking?
mdp.39015039723500	Ca n't you captivate them any longer?"
mdp.39015039723500	Care to make a bet?"
mdp.39015039723500	Come now, why did you go up to the attic?"
mdp.39015039723500	Confederate?
mdp.39015039723500	Could there have been a movement back there in the dusk which his eyes had failed to catch?
mdp.39015039723500	Curious, is n't it?
mdp.39015039723500	Did Tarkin tell you anything?"
mdp.39015039723500	Did he think that any man would remain idle while such a hideous thing went on?
mdp.39015039723500	Did he trust the diabolical deftness of his fingers to that extent?
mdp.39015039723500	Did n't I tell you Miss Lanyard went to powder her nose?
mdp.39015039723500	Did n't she wish to see me?"
mdp.39015039723500	Did n't some one come in and ask for Cuban Queen and then, when he found you did n't have it, buy one of these instead?"
mdp.39015039723500	Did she run all right?"
mdp.39015039723500	Did you have any reason for asking him that?"
mdp.39015039723500	Did you look around?"
mdp.39015039723500	Do I get the two grand?"
mdp.39015039723500	Do I have to beg your per- mission to ride in it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Do I look like a man who would joke about his own death?"
mdp.39015039723500	Do n't you think, a dimple in her left cheek would improve her beauty?"
mdp.39015039723500	Do you know anything else?"
mdp.39015039723500	Do you wish to see her?"
mdp.39015039723500	Does n't it strike you that way, Storm?"
mdp.39015039723500	Got that, Harrington?"
mdp.39015039723500	Had Carmody worked a hoax on him?
mdp.39015039723500	Had Marsh directed him to this desolate spot only to kill him?
mdp.39015039723500	Had she, like himself, entered the Marsh household under false pretenses, in pursuit of some ulterior motive?
mdp.39015039723500	Had some one been listening?
mdp.39015039723500	Harrington?"
mdp.39015039723500	Harrington?"
mdp.39015039723500	Harrington?"
mdp.39015039723500	Have one, Mr. Harrington?
mdp.39015039723500	Have you any idea who killed him?"
mdp.39015039723500	He could not be certain, but had n't there been a swift movement in the upper dusk as he glanced up along the stairway?
mdp.39015039723500	He's got a long job — Well, how is the patient, Miss Lan- yard?"
mdp.39015039723500	How come?"
mdp.39015039723500	How could Tarkin know?
mdp.39015039723500	How did Marsh get in?
mdp.39015039723500	How did Marsh get in?"
mdp.39015039723500	How did he hold it?
mdp.39015039723500	How did you know I had the box?"
mdp.39015039723500	How do you know I'm not the murderer?
mdp.39015039723500	How many trips did you make?"
mdp.39015039723500	How much?"
mdp.39015039723500	How, then, had the murderer reached his victim?
mdp.39015039723500	I believe that an investi- gation — Good heavens, Harrington, ca n't you keep your mind on what you are doing?"
mdp.39015039723500	I do n't suppose you want to go back to the attic any more to- night?"
mdp.39015039723500	I struck it about right, did n't I?
mdp.39015039723500	I suppose it occurs to you that, out of these four, you are the only one who was with Marsh when he died?"
mdp.39015039723500	I suppose you know that?"
mdp.39015039723500	I suppose, Mr. Whittaker, you will turn it over intact to the executor of the Mooreland estate?
mdp.39015039723500	I'm wise to what Carstairs does — see?
mdp.39015039723500	I'm wise — see?
mdp.39015039723500	If I die, who is going to open the safe for you?"
mdp.39015039723500	If he thinks we are after his life, why does n't he do something besides write a letter?"
mdp.39015039723500	If there was no fire, what was the sense in standing up close?"
mdp.39015039723500	If you did n't come to me with the idea of killing me, why did you come?"
mdp.39015039723500	In this rain?"
mdp.39015039723500	Is n't that being tantalizing?"
mdp.39015039723500	Is n't that good psychology, Storm?"
mdp.39015039723500	Is that right?"
mdp.39015039723500	Is there any objection?"
mdp.39015039723500	Is this the way Marsh held it?"
mdp.39015039723500	It is n't her real name, but who cares?"
mdp.39015039723500	It would n't be so good, would it?"
mdp.39015039723500	It's no crime to be poking about in a pile of ashes, is it?"
mdp.39015039723500	It's wonderful to be able to lie down and sleep after 123 Iron Bars"Real motives?"
mdp.39015039723500	Just the same, you like Miss Lanyard, do n't you?
mdp.39015039723500	Know where you're going?"
mdp.39015039723500	Like a man who knows how to handle firearms?"
mdp.39015039723500	Luke Garbo?
mdp.39015039723500	Marsh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Moreover, what perverted sense of humor could have induced him to dictate such a letter to him, Harrington?
mdp.39015039723500	Mr. Harrington, are you going to deliver that letter?"
mdp.39015039723500	Mr. Harrington, would you mind sitting down at the wheel again?
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Not so good, eh?"
mdp.39015039723500	Now, Mr. Ashman, we understand each other, do n't we?"
mdp.39015039723500	Oh, where are those keys?"
mdp.39015039723500	Or was Carstairs working a hoax on him now?
mdp.39015039723500	Queer, eh?
mdp.39015039723500	Say, what has all this got to do with my two grand?"
mdp.39015039723500	See that old ruin straight ahead?
mdp.39015039723500	See?"
mdp.39015039723500	Sell many of this brand?"
mdp.39015039723500	Should he take an aggressive stand at once, or should he wait and let the man behind the door show his hand?
mdp.39015039723500	So Mooreland left an estate, did he?
mdp.39015039723500	So that little rat is blackmailing you?"
mdp.39015039723500	Stoddard?"
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose Mr. Marsh should never come back?
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose he's been murdered?
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose his dead body should turn up somewhere?
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose that the note had been forged after all, in spite of the inti- mate allusion to the ash pile?
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose the police found out that Marsh had been suspecting you of plotting his death?
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose the whole thing had been a clever trick to lure him away from Theresa at a time when she was in desperate need of capable assistance?
mdp.39015039723500	Suppose, for instance, that Mr. Marsh was murdered under your very nose, so to speak, and that you could n't explain how it hap- pened?
mdp.39015039723500	Tarkin?
mdp.39015039723500	Tarkin?"
mdp.39015039723500	That's correct, is n't it?"
mdp.39015039723500	The Crooked Creek bridge?
mdp.39015039723500	The murderer?
mdp.39015039723500	Then why stress such an unimportant point?"
mdp.39015039723500	There will only be a few —""Oh, dad, what do I care?
mdp.39015039723500	Three trips out and two in?
mdp.39015039723500	Too bad about Mr. Marsh, was n't it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Travelin'pretty late, ai n't you?"
mdp.39015039723500	Was Marsh indulging in a grewsome jest, or was he acting on a deep- laid plan?
mdp.39015039723500	Was n't there, Storm?"
mdp.39015039723500	Was she as staid and dig- nified and coolly capable as she looked, or was she playing a role of some sort?
mdp.39015039723500	Was there ever such a grotesque situation?
mdp.39015039723500	Well, do we close the deal?"
mdp.39015039723500	Well, well I Is that the sort of work Marsh is paying you for?"
mdp.39015039723500	Well, what are you offering for sale this time?"
mdp.39015039723500	Well?"
mdp.39015039723500	What about Tarkin?
mdp.39015039723500	What about a little kiss?"
mdp.39015039723500	What about the letter Marsh wrote yes- terday?"
mdp.39015039723500	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015039723500	What are you up to now?"
mdp.39015039723500	What do you know about this place?"
mdp.39015039723500	What do you make of that?"
mdp.39015039723500	What do you think?"
mdp.39015039723500	What had happened to Theresa?
mdp.39015039723500	What if he were too late?
mdp.39015039723500	What kind of button, I wonder?
mdp.39015039723500	What on earth could she have meant by that?
mdp.39015039723500	What on earth was 203 The Back- Seat Murder Whittaker's idea?
mdp.39015039723500	What should he do with Tarkin?
mdp.39015039723500	What sort of understanding could exist between Theresa Lanyard and this sleek, dark- faced man with the subtly un- pleasant voice?
mdp.39015039723500	What's the information worth to you?"
mdp.39015039723500	When had he gotten into the car?
mdp.39015039723500	Where did it come from if it did n't come from my safe?
mdp.39015039723500	Where had he come from?
mdp.39015039723500	Where was Theresa now?
mdp.39015039723500	Which of the two?
mdp.39015039723500	Which one was it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Who done it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Who was that enemy, and why was he seeking Marsh's life?
mdp.39015039723500	Whose eyes?
mdp.39015039723500	Why did n't Marsh begin, 19 The Back- Seat Murder and what was the meaning of that curious look in his face?
mdp.39015039723500	Why did n't she run?
mdp.39015039723500	Why did you want me along?"
mdp.39015039723500	Why do n't you try subtlety instead of violence?"
mdp.39015039723500	Why on earth did you give such an incredible account of it?"
mdp.39015039723500	Why was he murdered?
mdp.39015039723500	Will he be back soon?"
mdp.39015039723500	Would it inspire still another murderous deed?
mdp.39015039723500	Would n't they now?"
mdp.39015039723500	Would you mind repeating?"
mdp.39015039723500	Yes, Miss Lanyard and himself were surely plotting against Marsh, but where on earth had the man got the idea that they were plotting murder?
mdp.39015039723500	You actually know?
mdp.39015039723500	You are joking, are n't you?"
mdp.39015039723500	You are n't a lady detective, are you?"
mdp.39015039723500	You did n't happen to sell one of these cigars yesterday?"
mdp.39015039723500	You do n't happen to know anybody who wants to buy a nice little garage?"
mdp.39015039723500	You have found some proof?"
mdp.39015039723500	You saw me, so why should I deny it?
mdp.39015039723500	You see, do n't you?"
mdp.39015039723500	You want me to bring her back alive, do n't you?
mdp.39015039723500	You're going to chase him, I suppose?
mdp.39015039723500	You've still got the gun I handed you, I suppose?"
mdp.39015051168238	'IT MAY be life, but ai n't it dull?' mdp.39015051168238 A fake? ” “ Yes, it was my man, Pug.
mdp.39015051168238	About Edward? ” he said. mdp.39015051168238 Afraid of what?"
mdp.39015051168238	Ai n't I glad my old lady was a tart,Pug com- mented complacently, “ and left me on a doorstep?
mdp.39015051168238	Ai n't It Dull?
mdp.39015051168238	Ai n't you got enough dames on your hands with- out goin'out and huntin'trouble? ”Maybe I've got too many.
mdp.39015051168238	And I am?
mdp.39015051168238	And I suppose you received a certain fee for doing this? ” “ Certainly.
mdp.39015051168238	And during those twenty years have you seen him often?
mdp.39015051168238	And just how does all this I mean Fairleigh and an illegitimate child and Linda Crossley — how does it all tie up with the Ealing murder?
mdp.39015051168238	Anything I can get for you, do for you?
mdp.39015051168238	But could she still be on the island?
mdp.39015051168238	But how does Edward come in?
mdp.39015051168238	But how,he said quietly,"did you get this? ” “ I said a woman gave it to me."
mdp.39015051168238	But to whom does he really belong? ” “ We never did know that.
mdp.39015051168238	But what has Mr. Fairleigh to do with you and your wife and this boy whom you call your nephew?
mdp.39015051168238	But why not do the simple, obvious thing?
mdp.39015051168238	But why the dead faint when I pulled that fast one?
mdp.39015051168238	But why- why?
mdp.39015051168238	By whom, do you know?
mdp.39015051168238	Did he say who the mother was or the father?
mdp.39015051168238	Did he usually stay such a short time or were his visits of longer duration?.
mdp.39015051168238	Did not the papers say that the police had searched this island?
mdp.39015051168238	Did you see the police officers when they were here?
mdp.39015051168238	Did you tell anyone where you were going, what you were going for?.
mdp.39015051168238	Did you — did she say anything about- about what I showed you in the paper?
mdp.39015051168238	Does that not seem fairly obvious, too?
mdp.39015051168238	Fairleigh? ” she said. mdp.39015051168238 First edition of the World- Telegram out yet? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051168238	Has Mr. Fairleigh been to see you recently? ” Polk hesitated. mdp.39015051168238 Has she always lived there in that gloomy old house with her grandfather?"
mdp.39015051168238	Have any come for that box number? ”. mdp.39015051168238 Have n't I Met You Somewhere Before? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	He's a liar or there's more damn fools in the world than I thought. ” “ Yes, but are n't they lucky?
mdp.39015051168238	How about Fairleigh? mdp.39015051168238 How did it happen? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051168238	How long have you known Mr. Fairleigh?
mdp.39015051168238	How long?
mdp.39015051168238	How much is that in American money?.
mdp.39015051168238	How's the kid, Teddy? ” Pug asked when he was settled comfortably, smoking. mdp.39015051168238 How- how did it happen?"
mdp.39015051168238	I beg pardon, sir? ” The voice was soft and dis- creet in the best traditions of English butlerdom. mdp.39015051168238 I can not tell you that. ” “ You mean you do n't know? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	I have no idea. ” “ What was in that safe that you wanted?
mdp.39015051168238	I imagine, ” he said quietly, “ that that is just what Fairleigh and Maysie Ealing thought. ”How do you mean?".

mdp.39015051168238	Miss Ealing, my secretary, told you — that? mdp.39015051168238 No, sir. ” “ Sure?"
mdp.39015051168238	No? mdp.39015051168238 Not here? ” The young man inquired in polite surprise.
mdp.39015051168238	Notice anything when you were in here? ” Worse and More of It 239 RSSOne more thing, Inspector!"
mdp.39015051168238	Oh- pretty often. ”What do you mean by'pretty often'?"
mdp.39015051168238	Remember me? mdp.39015051168238 She was very devoted to him?"
mdp.39015051168238	Since Fairleigh was in New Jersey all afternoon, what is his motive in withholding that informa- tion?
mdp.39015051168238	Sure, do n't you see? mdp.39015051168238 Talk any? ”"Not much and not so's you could understand anything."

mdp.39015051168238	Then why for fourteen years have you supported him? ” “ That again is something I can not tell you.
mdp.39015051168238	Was there anybody else in the drug store at the time?

mdp.39015051168238	We do n't feel that you have been entirely — ah-candid with us. ”In what way, may I ask? ” There was a hard, flat note to Fairleigh's voice.
mdp.39015051168238	Well — we got the report from the men I sent out to Sark Island. ” “ Yes?
mdp.39015051168238	Well, whaddaya think of that? mdp.39015051168238 Well, what should he have discovered it with-a divining rod?"
mdp.39015051168238	Well, what?
mdp.39015051168238	Well? ” Spike said at last. mdp.39015051168238 Whaddaya mean? ” Pug looked suddenly appre- hensive.
mdp.39015051168238	Whaddaya mean? ” Pug looked suddenly appre- hensive. mdp.39015051168238 What about this fellow Watson?
mdp.39015051168238	What about? ” he asked, his voice muffled. mdp.39015051168238 What do you do, Pug, when you do n't know what in God's name to do? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	What do you do, Pug, when you do n't know what in God's name to do?
mdp.39015051168238	What do you suppose it means? mdp.39015051168238 What for?"
mdp.39015051168238	What is that?
mdp.39015051168238	What is your opinion?
mdp.39015051168238	What's his name and how shall I get in touch with him?

mdp.39015051168238	Who's been here since we left? ” Herschman de- manded. mdp.39015051168238 Who?
mdp.39015051168238	Why did you go to all this hocus- pocus?
mdp.39015051168238	Why, is it not plain enough? mdp.39015051168238 You a friend of hers? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	You did n't happen to go into the spare room by any chance while he was sleeping? ”No, sir."
mdp.39015051168238	You do n't know where she's gone, do you? ”Just over the next street to a rooming house.
mdp.39015051168238	You knew her when she was just nineteen?
mdp.39015051168238	You know the murder weapon in both cases, the triangular bladed bayonet with the serrated edges? ” Koenig nodded. mdp.39015051168238 You mean about her bein'- queer? ” “ Now, now, Mrs. Quigley, she was n't queer.
mdp.39015051168238	You want to see something? ” he asked in a low, conspiratorial tone. mdp.39015051168238 You were not- down there this morning?"
mdp.39015051168238	You're sure that he was asleep in your spare bedroom all that time?

mdp.39015051168238	And then what happens?
mdp.39015051168238	And who are these Polk people? ”"He's a nice lad, but just at present he's naturally a good bit bewildered.
mdp.39015051168238	Any clothes or anything?"
mdp.39015051168238	Anything else? ”"If I'm not out tomorrow, call me at the same time, same place."
mdp.39015051168238	Are the windows open or closed?
mdp.39015051168238	Are you just pretending?"

mdp.39015051168238	But I do not fear so much for her now. ” “ You mean on account of the Ealing murder? ” Koenig nodded.
mdp.39015051168238	But what has it got to do with — with anything, this delica- tessen store keeper knowing a man who has been dead for years?"
mdp.39015051168238	But what have I?
mdp.39015051168238	But what was the other?
mdp.39015051168238	But you were going to see her, you were on your way?"
mdp.39015051168238	CHAPTER IX"Have n't I Met You Somewhere Before?"
mdp.39015051168238	Do n't it sort of give you the creeps though? ” Mr. Heffenbaugh shrugged his shoulders with superior nonchalance.
mdp.39015051168238	Do n't you really want to keep Edward?
mdp.39015051168238	Do n't you see? ” Suddenly Herschman saw.
mdp.39015051168238	Do you believe — he was already — dead — when I went in there- to him?"
mdp.39015051168238	Do you feel well enough — do you think you could go home, now, today?"
mdp.39015051168238	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015051168238	Does he know who she is, where her folks are?"
mdp.39015051168238	Does he love her as he should?
mdp.39015051168238	Does she know Linda Crossley?"
mdp.39015051168238	Finally he turned to Pug.. “ Well, what do you think?"
mdp.39015051168238	Funny, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015051168238	Have n't I seen you some place before? ” She giggled.
mdp.39015051168238	He cared for her, I suppose, in his selfish, strange way, but her life with him was no life for a girl. ” “ Girl?
mdp.39015051168238	He looked very much like you, did n't he?"
mdp.39015051168238	He'll be all right if they'll leave him alone. ” “ They?"
mdp.39015051168238	How about you two? ” Herschman chewed his cigar and the district at- torney deepened his frown.
mdp.39015051168238	How come you tracked her to Sark Island?"
mdp.39015051168238	How the hell are those damn stamps mixed up in it?"
mdp.39015051168238	How's she takin'it?"
mdp.39015051168238	How's she today?"
mdp.39015051168238	I answered Mr. Fairleigh's ad and he employed me. ”"Had you known Mr. Fairleigh before you entered his employ? ”"No.
mdp.39015051168238	I bet you got about ten cops hanging round you down there, and you're giving them all the eye, are n't you?
mdp.39015051168238	I ca n't understand..."Found- an Unmarried Mother 225 nown"How long have you known Miss Ealing? ” “ Six or seven months."
mdp.39015051168238	I do n't know what it means?"
mdp.39015051168238	I may point out that at that time we were not entirely convinced of your — ah""Honesty? ” Fairleigh suggested.
mdp.39015051168238	I was just thinking...."“ What with?"
mdp.39015051168238	I'm not feeble- minded. ” “ You mean you wo n't tell? ” “ Yes, if you wish to put it that way."
mdp.39015051168238	If I'm gon na be a butler, I'm gon na be a good butler, like when I was a fighter, I was a good fighter, see?"
mdp.39015051168238	Incidentally, where was he the night Koenig was shot? ” “ At the theater with his wife.
mdp.39015051168238	Is it a real one- an original?"
mdp.39015051168238	Is that right?"
mdp.39015051168238	Is there anything more to tell than that?"
mdp.39015051168238	It was a bit after four when a young man of lazy"Have n't I Met You Somewhere Before?"
mdp.39015051168238	Just what are your purposes? ” Spike hesitated a moment before he spoke.
mdp.39015051168238	Just what did he mean when he said,'the onerous task of sav- ing her from the consequences of her own indis- cretions?'"
mdp.39015051168238	Maysie did n't want to be alone in the apartment and could you blame her?
mdp.39015051168238	P. S. Do you know a book that says that stamps are good for you?
mdp.39015051168238	Polk? ” he inquired with the engaging voice of a salesman using the approach approved in the selling manual.
mdp.39015051168238	Remem- ber the picture, the one that was in the Saugus Index? ” Both Herschman and the district attorney nodded.
mdp.39015051168238	See? ”"I do n't see, but it's O.K.
mdp.39015051168238	See?"
mdp.39015051168238	See?"
mdp.39015051168238	See?"
mdp.39015051168238	She had her child- at last. ” “ And what kind of a child is he?
mdp.39015051168238	She is happy?"
mdp.39015051168238	She is safe?
mdp.39015051168238	So what does he do?"
mdp.39015051168238	So what now?
mdp.39015051168238	Surprising at least to"Ai n't It Dull?"
mdp.39015051168238	The Huddlestons, maybe?"
mdp.39015051168238	The one they always use, is n't it?"
mdp.39015051168238	The time?
mdp.39015051168238	Then who is? ” “ The father is dead."
mdp.39015051168238	Then:"Had it- any- thing to do with that clause in Crossley's will? ” “ I have never seen Crossley's will.
mdp.39015051168238	They must of got him there. ”"You do n't know how- how they'got'him, do you?"
mdp.39015051168238	Three Frightened People 253"How long were they there in the Park? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	Told you that she was the mother of this child, Edward?"
mdp.39015051168238	Too emphatic?
mdp.39015051168238	Tracy?"
mdp.39015051168238	Tracy?".
mdp.39015051168238	Was it devotion or hatred that prompted those im- passioned, unguarded words?
mdp.39015051168238	Was it too quick?
mdp.39015051168238	Was the door locked from the inside or the out?
mdp.39015051168238	We gave him the Edward part, too, after a brother of my wife's that died. ”"And in all these years he has never mentioned the real parents?
mdp.39015051168238	What about the third murder- or rather I should say the third at- tempted murder- me? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	What am I on the carpet for now- drinking, women or embezzle- ment?"
mdp.39015051168238	What did it say?"
mdp.39015051168238	What did you stop to write a letter for? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	What do you mean er- roneous conclusion?"
mdp.39015051168238	What does that mean? ” The hard blue eyes of Fairleigh met the direct gaze of the district attorney.
mdp.39015051168238	What explanation did he give for this request?"
mdp.39015051168238	What have you both been do- ing with yourselves?
mdp.39015051168238	What if she has no logical, credible alibi for the day on which Mrs. Ealing was murdered?
mdp.39015051168238	What name did they give?"
mdp.39015051168238	What sort of a person was he? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	What was he like?
mdp.39015051168238	What was it? ” Koenig's cigar had gone out again and he was sitting, staring now into the darkness.
mdp.39015051168238	What was your idea in asking her if Linda had been there? ” “ I do n't know exactly.
mdp.39015051168238	What we want to know now is, who is he?"
mdp.39015051168238	What would you suggest? ”"Oh, ” said Spike nonchalantly, “ I'm not'suggest- ing'anything.
mdp.39015051168238	What's the matter?"
mdp.39015051168238	When I want a"Ai n't It Dull?"
mdp.39015051168238	When I want a"Ai n't It Dull?"
mdp.39015051168238	When?
mdp.39015051168238	Where were you on the afternoon when Mrs. Deborah Ealing was mur- dered?"
mdp.39015051168238	Where'd you get it?"
mdp.39015051168238	Who is Box 71? ”"I do n't know, but I'm going to find out.
mdp.39015051168238	Who is that woman?
mdp.39015051168238	Who was it?
mdp.39015051168238	Who — who?"
mdp.39015051168238	Why does anyone take a job?
mdp.39015051168238	Why should I throw you a beautiful woman, Richard?
mdp.39015051168238	Why should poets be the only ones with special license?
mdp.39015051168238	Why were you interested in it?"
mdp.39015051168238	Would you mind, just once again ex- plaining the meaning of that?"
mdp.39015051168238	Yes, yes... What?
mdp.39015051168238	You have it with you? ” For answer Fairleigh reached for his brief case and drew out a document bound in stiff blue paper.
mdp.39015051168238	You have seen her?
mdp.39015051168238	You re- member that clause in old Crossley's will?
mdp.39015051168238	You see I was right. ”"Look here, where'd you write this letter?"
mdp.39015051168238	You wanted to see me?"
mdp.39015051168238	You're right in the news, are n't you?...
mdp.39015051168238	and who heard the clock strike ten?
mdp.39015051168238	and"Who killed Mrs. Deborah Ealing?"
mdp.39015051168238	leigh. ”"Is hema frequent visitor at your house?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Ai n't It Dull? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Am I?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ And did she?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ And do you know anyone by the name of Fair- leigh?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ And having got the job, did you — ah- I mean why did you take the job?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ And you're the young man who was here last week, with your car broke down, ai n't you?".
mdp.39015051168238	“ Are these visits which Mr. Fairleigh makes to your place every month or so'purely- ah- friendly visits?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Are they there now?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Are you, ” he said slowly as if trying to make sure in his own mind,"trying to intimate that I am the father of this child out in West Albion?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ But can I help it, ” Spike protested,"if life takes 198 The Way- Down- East Motif 199 OU on a Way- Down- East pattern?
mdp.39015051168238	“ But that telephone call?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ But what about, Henry?
mdp.39015051168238	“ But what did Fairleigh say when he brought him The Truth and Nothing But 191 to you?
mdp.39015051168238	“ But what is it?
mdp.39015051168238	“ But why not admit where he was out in Jersey at this Polk place? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ But why should he lie?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ But why,"he said softly, “ must you go away from here- tomorrow? ” She opened her eyes and returned his steady gaze.
mdp.39015051168238	“ But why?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ But you have been here frequently?".
mdp.39015051168238	“ Did she say who she was coming to see?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Did you make any attempt to search for her? ”"Search?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Did you make any attempt to search for her? ”"Search?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do I have to go over all that again?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do n't you know? ”"No.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you believe her?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you con- sider$ 50,000 a'small bequest Mr. Fairleigh? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you know of any reason why the person who murdered Prentice Crossley and stole$ 85,000 worth of stamps should also murder Mrs. Deborah Ealing?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you know who killed Prentice Crossley and if not why not?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you — believe me?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you — do you know — what it is? ” Spike nodded.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Do you?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Does that matter?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Does this by any chance look anything like David Ealing? ” he asked as he shoved it across the counter.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Doing what, may I ask?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Ever see her before she answered the ad? ” “ Never."
mdp.39015051168238	“ Everything's O. K. I mean it's just the same. ”"She conscious yet? ” “ No.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Given — to you?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Had she no other friends beside you? ”"A few acquaintances, yes.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Hers and David Ealing's. ” “ Who?
mdp.39015051168238	“ How come she's your secretary? ”"My old one left to get married and I adver- tised for a new one and she answered the ad."
mdp.39015051168238	“ How did that get here and what does it mean? ” He pressed a buzzer and almost immediately Lovelace, the district attorney's secretary, appeared.
mdp.39015051168238	“ How much did you pay for it, my friend?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ How much? ” Milo pursed his lips uncertainly.
mdp.39015051168238	“ I can imagine no one..."“ Then he was one of those lovable old gentle- men without enemies? ” “ Oh, I would not exactly say that.
mdp.39015051168238	“ I'm not a member of the Teachers'Build- ing and Loan Society, I have no intention of driving"Ai n't It Dull?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ If, as you say, Mr. Tracy, it is n't true, and I was not in my friend's library, where was I?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Incidentally, why did Pug Forgets He's a Wodehouse Butler 139 you'pull that fast one?'
mdp.39015051168238	“ It is very certain that the same person did both of them. ” “ Are you so sure?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Just what does it mean, then?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Lis- ten, did anyone know you were going up there?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Listen Fairleigh, do you know where Linda Crossley is? ” The last breath of air went out of the balloon.
mdp.39015051168238	“ No, sir. ”"Anyone been in this room?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ No?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Perkins, what the hell?".
mdp.39015051168238	“ Recommended for what?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Say, listen here, who are you and these two birds over there?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Say, what the hell? ” The little round man laughed aloud this time, the merry laugh of one who is enjoying his gentle joke.
mdp.39015051168238	“ So that the$ 50,000 bequest is what you might call a work of supererogation? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Tell me some- thin'—are you sure your ma did n't put nothin'over on your old man? ” Spike laughed, then sobered quickly.
mdp.39015051168238	“ That was the beginning of our beautiful friend- ship, was n't it?
mdp.39015051168238	“ That was the first time that you had seen him in how long?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ The mother- talking to her- herself?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Then she is n't?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Then why the hell did you tell this cock- and- bull story about being in New York? ” Another moment of silence.
mdp.39015051168238	“ They make the shift any easier?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ To the exclusion of everyone else? ”"As far as I know, yes. ” The district attorney switched to another tack.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Too bad about her mother, was n't it?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Very well, then,"Koenig went on,"what if the police do n't believe Linda's story of her movements on the night her grandfather was murdered?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Well then, as such you must know a great deal about the more personal side of Crossley's affairs?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Well, ” he said,"what do you say?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What I want to know is what prog- ress have you made? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ What about it? ” “ You admit that you inserted that advertisement in the paper?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What about it? ” “ You admit that you inserted that advertisement in the paper?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What about this letter you mentioned?
mdp.39015051168238	“ What about this? ” He pointed to the stamp.
mdp.39015051168238	“ What are they going to do to us? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ What are you going to do with it?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What did she mean?
mdp.39015051168238	“ What did the man say, the one that told you about it?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What do you mean by'once in a while'?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What does she say of her whereabouts the day Mrs. Ealing was killed? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015051168238	“ What should we do about it?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What time?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What was the name of his parents? ” Fairleigh hesitated for just the fraction of a sec- ond.
mdp.39015051168238	“ What was the purpose of this second visit? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ What would you say to that, Miss Ealing?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What — what are you saying?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What'd you tell'em?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What's new now?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What's that?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What's that?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What's the matter?
mdp.39015051168238	“ What's the matter?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What's the matter?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ What,"inquired Mrs. O'Brien,"is a vendetta?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Where did you take it from?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Where's Teddy?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Where,"he said weakly,"am I?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Who's she?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Who, the Spaniards? ” 115 116 A Most Immoral Murder"No, no, the police and the newspaper reporters.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Who? ” “ The damn fools.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Why did I take it?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Why did you go to work for John Fairleigh six months ago? ” Her hand raising the cigarette to her lips paused in mid- air.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Why — why did you lie to them?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Why?
mdp.39015051168238	“ Why? ” Another long pause.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Why?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Will you keep it now — after this? ” “ Of course — if I want to. ”"And do you want to? ”"Yes — well, for a while, anyway.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Will you keep it now — after this? ” “ Of course — if I want to. ”"And do you want to? ”"Yes — well, for a while, anyway.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Will you please do as I ask?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yeah, what the hell is the idea of stealing them from Crossley if whoever did it is going to scatter'em all over the place, afterward?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes, but who gets'em all?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes, it did. ” “ How do you account for it then?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes, what about it?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes, yes, what was it?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes; may we sit down? ” She looked at him, uncertainty and suspicion in her steady gaze.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes? ” Mrs. Quigley was eager.
mdp.39015051168238	“ Yes? ” he said.
mdp.39015051168238	“ You admit that the'fourteen year old boy re- sembling this picture,'is your son? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ You all right, old man? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ You are from the district attorney's office?
mdp.39015051168238	“ You are not a collector your- self? ” he asked.
mdp.39015051168238	“ You do n't mean you think Fairleigh-""Well, ” said Spike,"is n't he?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ You mean Edward?".
mdp.39015051168238	“ You mean prayin'and takin'jelly to the sick? ”.
mdp.39015051168238	“ You mean you do n't know?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ You were at your desk all the time? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015051168238	“ You're quite sure of that?"
mdp.39015051168238	“ You- you think you know — where she is? ” Spike shook his head.
mdp.39015031224317	* “ Do they have to do that? ” he inquired piteously.
mdp.39015031224317	- “ How was the body lying? ” “ On its back.
mdp.39015031224317	50 MURDER UNLEASHED “ Or will we keep this up all night?
mdp.39015031224317	6 MURDER UNLEASHED “ How do I know? ” he retorted.
mdp.39015031224317	64 MURDER UNLEASHED “ Byrne? ” He cocked an interrogative eyebrow at that immovable but somehow forceful large person.
mdp.39015031224317	8 MURDER UNLEASHED “ What time'd you come here? ” Cassidy asked.
mdp.39015031224317	82 MURDER UNLEASHED “ What do you think of this guy, anyway? ” Peter demanded.
mdp.39015031224317	A former parishioner of his was dying, and they sent a big, dark car for him to come. ” “ Where is this place? ” Kennedy asked.
mdp.39015031224317	About that ex- football hero who 36 MURDER UNLEASHED ran a man down and let him die in the road?
mdp.39015031224317	After a while, Blake said softly, urgently, “ Dennis? ” He did n’t turn around.
mdp.39015031224317	All he'd said was, “ What is your name? ” “ Er — er! ” stumbled Dennis helplessly for an agoniz- ing second.
mdp.39015031224317	All it takes is a little extra pace, to reason out his next move. ” “ You think I lack logical reasoning power, too? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	All the unlikely people, you know. ” MURDER UNLEASHED 59 “ The hotel manager? ” suggested Blake, wrinkling her nose.
mdp.39015031224317	And he's failed. ” “ What about Bowden? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	And now I ’m the last man on earth, remembering it, and you coming across the fields, and ‘ Drink to me only. ” Surely you ’ve for- gotten?)
mdp.39015031224317	And now would Dennis let go his shoulder and let him get some sleep?
mdp.39015031224317	And people do n't 29 “ Do n’t they? ” Dennis asked grimly and surveyed the abashed faces about him.
mdp.39015031224317	And tackle Dennis's inspector? ” “ Okay by me, ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	And the door, of course. ” “ Fingerprints? ” the hotel manager said.
mdp.39015031224317	And what a lad Dennis is for getting his picture in the paper, is n’t he?
mdp.39015031224317	And would I be afther kidnaping a priest? ” “ No, ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	And you were sleeping away on the couch in the same room with all of this rumpus about Fersen! ” “ He did n’t talk? ” asked Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	Anyone you want me to call up? ” Then Dennis remembered someone.
mdp.39015031224317	Anything wrong? ” Dennis said, “ Thanks.
mdp.39015031224317	Are you in or not? ” A muffled roar answered him.
mdp.39015031224317	At six o'clock on a cloudy November morning?
mdp.39015031224317	Because we know one more thing about our killer now. ” “ What's that? ” Peter asked, as they went on down the stairs again.
mdp.39015031224317	Because why?
mdp.39015031224317	Because you're the one witness they're liable to try to pin it onto. ” “ Immunity? ” said Dennis, widening his eyes inno- cently.
mdp.39015031224317	Better, should I say? ” There was a nice and calculated deadliness in his smooth voice.
mdp.39015031224317	Bits of string, and paper, and a cigarette butt?
mdp.39015031224317	Blake, do you remember Morgan; 128 MURDER UNLEASHED The guy on Dennis's hotel floor?
mdp.39015031224317	But all this, ” said Dennis carefully, “ is n’t much good without a motive, is it?
mdp.39015031224317	But you do n’t treat me like that — like a mere girl. ” “ How else would I treat you? ” asked Dennis, sur- prised.
mdp.39015031224317	But you put the policeman at their door, did n't you, Sullivan? ” “ Sure I did, ” said Sullivan.
mdp.39015031224317	But — did you kill her, Malloy? ” The tired dark voice persisted.
mdp.39015031224317	Can I trust you to stay here while I ’m gone? ” There was n’t any answer.
mdp.39015031224317	Can you come with us? ” That stout- hearted gentleman shook his massive head, still more reluctantly.
mdp.39015031224317	Canned. ” “ By request? ” Kennedy asked.
mdp.39015031224317	Chapter 11 THE HOUNDS OF FEAR “ THEN what? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	Circumstantial evidence?
mdp.39015031224317	Coming? ” “ I ’d like to, ” said Kennedy with conviction.
mdp.39015031224317	Could he tell him about Wong?
mdp.39015031224317	Dennis stared at them, his face white and bitter as the bitter and unbelieving hurt in his voice when he spoke, slowly: “ Do n’t you see?
mdp.39015031224317	Dennis, do n't you really know him? ” “ I wish I did, ” said Dennis simply.
mdp.39015031224317	Dennis, just how much of all this stuff do you believe, anyway? ” “ Believe? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	Dennis, just how much of all this stuff do you believe, anyway? ” “ Believe? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	Dennis, what are you going to do?
mdp.39015031224317	Did anyone ever tell you there was wirehaired fox terrier in you? ” “ No, ” said Dennis truthfully.
mdp.39015031224317	Did it matter?
mdp.39015031224317	Did n't they, Lucy?
mdp.39015031224317	Did they see anyone or hear anything?
mdp.39015031224317	Did we, Lucy? ” “ No’m, ” said Lucy.
mdp.39015031224317	Did you stop on the return trip going down? ” “ No, sir, I did not. ” “ At any floor? ” “ No, sir, ” Malloy said patiently.
mdp.39015031224317	Did you stop on the return trip going down? ” “ No, sir, I did not. ” “ At any floor? ” “ No, sir, ” Malloy said patiently.
mdp.39015031224317	Did you take her up to the fourth floor? ” “ Of course, ” said Malloy a bit blankly, looking at the coroner with frank surprise.
mdp.39015031224317	Did you — did you happen to look out of your door at any time while I was singing?
mdp.39015031224317	Did you? ” That was Cassidy.
mdp.39015031224317	Do I get them? ” 32 MURDER UNLEASHED “ Yes, ” Dennis said.
mdp.39015031224317	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015031224317	Do n’t they?
mdp.39015031224317	Do n’t you see it — her theatrical ad- dress?
mdp.39015031224317	Do you like golf? ” “ Do you mind getting out of here? ” asked Fersen, restrainedly.
mdp.39015031224317	Do you like golf? ” “ Do you mind getting out of here? ” asked Fersen, restrainedly.
mdp.39015031224317	Do you mean — we ran into a dead man on that highway? ” His visitor shrugged, faintly seen.
mdp.39015031224317	Do you realize that it need n't have been any- one you know, any enemy of yours?
mdp.39015031224317	Do you realize that?'
mdp.39015031224317	Do you remember I said that about “ an old man, going into darkness ”?
mdp.39015031224317	Do you want ’em all to think I did it? ” He grinned at Peter, and before Peter could stop him he was up and going forward.
mdp.39015031224317	Does he mean so much? ” Blake's eyes were two blue meadows, abloom with lupin.
mdp.39015031224317	Does n’t it occur to you that both you and he seem to have this country in common?
mdp.39015031224317	Dºnnis Devore? ” “ He ’s a tenor ºver the radio — one of these midnight canaries, ” chirpºſed the shrewd, not- to- be- denied voice.
mdp.39015031224317	Everything seems to happen while I ’m around, does n’t it?
mdp.39015031224317	Father Malletti was here, and alive, and that was wonderful — but where was Wong?
mdp.39015031224317	Finally: “ Do you have to do that? ” he yelped.
mdp.39015031224317	From the police? ” “ No. ” Dennis grinned that brief glimmer of a grin over mouth and eyes, as he looked at the press table.
mdp.39015031224317	Funny, is n't it?
mdp.39015031224317	Get her going, will you?
mdp.39015031224317	Get me?
mdp.39015031224317	Good Lord, did this man, this respectable man, hate him, the unrespectable, so much?
mdp.39015031224317	Had Wong gone willingly?
mdp.39015031224317	Had he had time to do the killing?
mdp.39015031224317	Had she stopped in the hall, or had she kept on walking down the corridor, do you know? ”- “ She walked right off, sir.
mdp.39015031224317	Have you forgotten him?
mdp.39015031224317	He claims it was t said ‘ Yeah? ’ and home from the studio.
mdp.39015031224317	He darn ’ near made it, too. ” “ How'd he know? ” asked Peter softly but thunder- ously.
mdp.39015031224317	He did, eh? ” “ He did, ” Dennis said.
mdp.39015031224317	He had n’t come back by then. ” “ Why'd you go to look for him just then? ” asked Sullivan keenly.
mdp.39015031224317	He might be anywhere around here, and what chance have we of picking up his trail?
mdp.39015031224317	He thinks they ’ll be after him, not Dennis. ”- “ So you think there's a First and a Second Murderer, do you? ” asked Peter grimly.
mdp.39015031224317	He was a Native Son, eh?
mdp.39015031224317	He was layin ’ down. ” “ You mean — you saw us hit Farnese? ” Dennis said quietly, from a dry throat.
mdp.39015031224317	He's had lots of time to come in by now. ” “ Want us? ” Peter rumbled.
mdp.39015031224317	He's not here. ” “ Where is he? ” Kennedy took him up quickly.
mdp.39015031224317	He's there now, for the week, taking orders from the shoe men. ” “ A man alone? ” said Peter, keen- eyed.
mdp.39015031224317	Her — the face was upward. ” “ Did you touch it? ” “ No. ” It sounded like a dark wing drooping, that low word.
mdp.39015031224317	His clothes? ” “ He did n’t have a hat, ” Malloy said.
mdp.39015031224317	How can I think they're so rotten, even the worst of them, when I see them going on to that?
mdp.39015031224317	How could Dennis be so unmoved by it, making it so beauti- ful?
mdp.39015031224317	How did things happen that way, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	How do I know if he ’d be a murderer?
mdp.39015031224317	How does Dennis stack up with him?
mdp.39015031224317	How does he come into it? ” Dennis was frightfully tired.
mdp.39015031224317	How would a clubman dispose of his enemies anyway, Byrne?
mdp.39015031224317	How ’re you going to get past that cop on the stairs, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	How'd you like to report every doing of yours twice a week to a hard- boiled probation officer?
mdp.39015031224317	I ca n’t. ” “ The inspector does n’t like you, Dennis? ” “ I would n't say that, ” Dennis considered.
mdp.39015031224317	I found her there. ” “ Yeah? ” Sullivan came into it now.
mdp.39015031224317	I had to open the door with my key and then turn on the lights at the door. ” “ The door was locked, eh? ” Sullivan boomed in.
mdp.39015031224317	I have n’t got anyone like that in my past, thank heaven. ” “ Well, is that all the bag? ” Peter asked Blake.
mdp.39015031224317	I know damn ’ well what it means — do you think I'd forget those dates so easily?
mdp.39015031224317	I think I ’ll order in a machine gun and a pair of sandbags to prop up against the windows. ” “ What d'you mean? ” asked Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	I think this football bird I ’m telling you about got her home okay. ” “ Really? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	I would n't care to have anyone like that in my intimate circle of enemies. ” “ Was he? ” Blake asked keenly.
mdp.39015031224317	I ’ll show you — where are the old sandwiches? ” “ I ’ve eaten them, ” said Dennis simply.
mdp.39015031224317	I ’m going to warn you anything you say can be used against you, Devore. ” “ Do you mean I ’m under arrest?'
mdp.39015031224317	If he was just finishing off the family, why did n’t he do it all at once, a year ago?
mdp.39015031224317	Is he — could he be — our murderer? ” Peter shook his head positively.
mdp.39015031224317	Is that a clue? ” “ I would n’t call it that, ” offered Malloy, frankly puzzled.
mdp.39015031224317	Is there anyone on God ’s earth you could n’t make friends with, Dennis? ” Dennis grinned.
mdp.39015031224317	It all depends. ” “ On what? ” asked Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	It used to be mine. ” “ ‘ Sure you did n’t borrow it? ” he says, very quiet and sarcastic.
mdp.39015031224317	It's my theory, is n’t it? ” “ Well, ” Kennedy said, “ I just wanted to make sure.
mdp.39015031224317	It's too much his own work, his forces have been engaged in it so. ” “ Is it fingerprints you'll be meaning, sir? ” asked Malloy.
mdp.39015031224317	It's your callous guy you ought to suspect, not the man who's bowled over by a glimpse of the body. ” “ Then what happened? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015031224317	It's — the restless grave, betraying his murderer after all this time. ” “ Yeah, ” Sullivan said only, “ but who? ” Dennis shook his head.
mdp.39015031224317	Just say how she died, not who did it. ” “ Yes, I know, ” said Dennis impatiently, “ but how ’d you get them to fall in with that?
mdp.39015031224317	MURDER UNLEASHED 33 “ Do you think I look like a professional card player? ” he asked, rather coldly still.
mdp.39015031224317	MURDER UNLEASHED 93 N “ Well, what does it mean, Dennis? ” he asked hoarsely.
mdp.39015031224317	Me and — the murderer. ” “ Have you got any clues on him, Misther Devore? ” Malloy said humbly, still a bit shaken.
mdp.39015031224317	Mr. Malloy, will you tell us anything you remember about his arrival?
mdp.39015031224317	Murder?
mdp.39015031224317	Never stays in the evenings. ”* “ Why do n’t you offer to take her home? ” Dennis retorted.
mdp.39015031224317	Of course, but what else was there in this case?
mdp.39015031224317	Okay so far? ” 96 MURDER UNLEASHED He cocked an eyebrow at his audience.
mdp.39015031224317	Okay? ” “ There must be some white man ’s blood in you, ” 67 68 MURDER UNLEASHED Kennedy said gratefully.
mdp.39015031224317	Only — Farnese?
mdp.39015031224317	Only, “ Have you got them? ” he whispered to Peter fiercely, as the flivver engine started and all other noise was undercovered by it.
mdp.39015031224317	Or about that time, you know? ” “ No, ” said Mrs. Appleby very decisively, “ we did n’t.
mdp.39015031224317	Or an order from the desk? ” 274 MURDER UNLEASHED the man inquired more alertly but still suspiciously, not stirring.
mdp.39015031224317	Or had he gone — as Father Malletti had gone?
mdp.39015031224317	Or looking for fingerprints?
mdp.39015031224317	Or was it — an- other?
mdp.39015031224317	Otherwise, why the long wait?
mdp.39015031224317	Peter, you do n’t want to die? ” Peter murmured, like a cello string plucked hard, as if Dennis had picked out a chord on his heart.
mdp.39015031224317	Peter, you ’ll take headquarters, wo n't you?
mdp.39015031224317	Rather — short of breath. ” “ What are we in for, anyway? ” Peter said, sobering.
mdp.39015031224317	See?
mdp.39015031224317	Shall I tell'em, Pete, or you? ” “ You, ” said Peter briefly, beginning to eat.
mdp.39015031224317	She did n’t have to stop at all to look around. ” “ You did n’t notice any room doors open, or ajar?
mdp.39015031224317	She thought: “ Does n’t he feel anything? ” It was like a curious sort of balance.
mdp.39015031224317	She was Mrs. Victor Farnese! ” “ What of it? ” asked Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	Since last night( Last night?
mdp.39015031224317	So I hissed at her, “ What's your name? ’ and she hissed back, “ June Oliver!
mdp.39015031224317	Sorry to have bothered you, but — thanks. ” “ What for? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	Spring a totally new one on them?
mdp.39015031224317	Stranger?
mdp.39015031224317	Sullivan thinks we're cuckoo, Peter. ” 214 MURDER UNLEASHED Malletti's going away, do you? ” Dennis went on.
mdp.39015031224317	Sullivan?
mdp.39015031224317	Suppose Bianca was going to put it on Dennis?
mdp.39015031224317	Suppose he is n’t?
mdp.39015031224317	Suppose he was here in Delroy all the time?
mdp.39015031224317	Thanks a lot for this stuff. ” “ Inquest? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	That clear? ” “ Perfectly, ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	That mean anything to you?
mdp.39015031224317	That narrow it down a bit?
mdp.39015031224317	That okay? ” “ Swell! ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	That right? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ No communication! ” thought Dennis scornfully, of the little dry- voiced coroner.
mdp.39015031224317	That's all. ” t MURDER UNLEASHED 127 l “ And now he's sleeping it off while young master's in jail? ” asked Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	That's what I think of Wong! ” “ Then why did he skip? ” demanded Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	The coroner was asking, “ Did you see what time it was when you got down to the lobby again? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015031224317	The kind o MURDER UNLEASHED 237 things any street sweeper can pick up in the streets?
mdp.39015031224317	Then I remembered Fersen had been working late, alone, in his office the night MURDER UNLEASHED 305 “ Which one? ” asked Blake.
mdp.39015031224317	Then he ’d stammered it out — there was someone dead here, in his room — at the Ancaster — how'd he know what it was about?
mdp.39015031224317	Then what happened? ” The coroner made His favorite move again.
mdp.39015031224317	Then where was Wong?
mdp.39015031224317	Then, was she killed outside somewhere and then brought into the room, or was she killed in your room? ” Blake went on keenly.
mdp.39015031224317	Then: “ How do you like this? ” he said expressionlessly.
mdp.39015031224317	There was n’t anything. ” “ Where was she when you went down again?
mdp.39015031224317	There were two brothers — must have been brothers, or else why the change in name of one?
mdp.39015031224317	They called her Bianca — Bianca Fior. ” “ You know her — about her? ” Kennedy thrust in, keen as a bright thin dagger's blade.
mdp.39015031224317	They shoot you, yes? ” “ Yes, ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	They've got me, have n’t they?
mdp.39015031224317	Those money- order receipts — where are they? ” He picked up his knife and fork again.
mdp.39015031224317	Waiting for him?
mdp.39015031224317	Want to read?
mdp.39015031224317	Was it Wong that Father Malletti had meant?
mdp.39015031224317	Was it that late when I phoned?
mdp.39015031224317	Was n’t there a whisper of the murderer's name running through the quarter?
mdp.39015031224317	Was that what it was to be an artist?
mdp.39015031224317	Was there any connection?
mdp.39015031224317	Was there — could there be — a sort of flicker of light deep in their small dark depths, like a passing signal?
mdp.39015031224317	Was this the way they treated prisoners — real prisoners?
mdp.39015031224317	Was this what he'd feared?
mdp.39015031224317	We ’ll do what we can on our own first. ” “ Sure you do n’t want company? ” Peter tried again.
mdp.39015031224317	Were the lights in the hall on as usual? ” Malloy paused briefly, to answer both questions.
mdp.39015031224317	What about this passkey business? ” Cassidy was on Dennis's trail again, yapping at his heels, as it were.
mdp.39015031224317	What could they do?
mdp.39015031224317	What do you make of that, now?
mdp.39015031224317	What do you think then? ” The silence seemed icy cold, in that little closed cage lit by the glaring electric globe above them.
mdp.39015031224317	What do you think, Blake? ” He was suddenly impressive again, with a stern weight of integrity in him that bulked sheer as his big self.
mdp.39015031224317	What do you think? ” He looked at Malloy, broad and big in his dark blue uniform, there alone in the elevator with him.
mdp.39015031224317	What else does he say? ” “ Dennis has discovered the Einsteinian theory of the relativity of time, ” Blake reported.
mdp.39015031224317	What for? ” Cassidy asked.
mdp.39015031224317	What had she done?
mdp.39015031224317	What in the devil was the proper name to give now?
mdp.39015031224317	What is he — a friend? ” “ He ’s a lawyer, ” Dennis said hurriedly, as Sullivan grasped his arm and made a way for them impatiently.
mdp.39015031224317	What is it?
mdp.39015031224317	What more is your enemy going to do to you?
mdp.39015031224317	What time had Dennis come up to his room, and what time was it that he ’d phoned for the police?
mdp.39015031224317	What were they doing when she was killed here? ” The manager shrugged again, as one who gives up riddles.
mdp.39015031224317	What's the idea? ” “ Always meant to, ” mumbled Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	What?
mdp.39015031224317	When I get back? ” “ Of course, ” said Blake, holding him there.
mdp.39015031224317	When was that? ” Peter grinned.
mdp.39015031224317	Where are we? ” “ Returns coming in from all counties.
mdp.39015031224317	Where are we? ”- “ H- how'd you get here? ” asked Dennis huskily, instead.
mdp.39015031224317	Where are we? ”- “ H- how'd you get here? ” asked Dennis huskily, instead.
mdp.39015031224317	Where did Peter Byrne and that bird Sullivan go, Kennedy? ” Kennedy shrugged.
mdp.39015031224317	Where ’d he ever get the money, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	Where ’ll we four meet next? ” “ What are you going to do, Blake? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	Where ’ll we four meet next? ” “ What are you going to do, Blake? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	Where ’ve you been, and what doing, Dennis? ” “ I ’ve been to the wars, ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	Where's your friends, the Byrnes? ” “ How do I know? ” said Dennis wearily.
mdp.39015031224317	Where's your friends, the Byrnes? ” “ How do I know? ” said Dennis wearily.
mdp.39015031224317	Who was keeping her?
mdp.39015031224317	Why Delroy, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	Why did Bowden get his tonight, after we'd gone there to see him?
mdp.39015031224317	Why not just say there was someone sick in San Mateo, or Palo Alto, or any of the near- by peninsula towns?
mdp.39015031224317	Why should n't I?
mdp.39015031224317	Why, for instance, should anyone select Mr. Devore's room in which to do such a terrible deed — a murder? ” The implication was n’t pleasant.
mdp.39015031224317	Why?
mdp.39015031224317	Why? ” It was n’t tangible.
mdp.39015031224317	Will you?
mdp.39015031224317	Without a trace, you know. ” “ How about the elevator man who brought Bianca up? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	Wotsa mattla you, Dennis, fo'not coming back heah? ” The thin high cackle of a hen disturbed in her ma- ternal duties beat on them relentlessly.
mdp.39015031224317	Would n’t that be funny, if true?
mdp.39015031224317	Would you back either of them as a murderer? ” Blake was a bit tense, but determined to see this through.
mdp.39015031224317	Would you say — clubs? ” “ I ’d say spades, ” Kennedy said.
mdp.39015031224317	You looked at my music stuff there. ” “ Blackmail? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	You're as bad as Sullivan. ” “ That's where — what? ” his active small tormenter said.
mdp.39015031224317	by?
mdp.39015031224317	pened, anyway? ” “ What did n’t? ” said Peter, sticking a cigarette in the invalid's mouth and striking a match to it.
mdp.39015031224317	pened, anyway? ” “ What did n’t? ” said Peter, sticking a cigarette in the invalid's mouth and striking a match to it.
mdp.39015031224317	º “ Clues? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	“ A bird named Peter Byrne, eh?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Afraid?
mdp.39015031224317	“ After dinner. ” “ What kind of a man? ” asked Blake.
mdp.39015031224317	“ And breakfast. ” “ Breakfast? ” said Dennis wistfully.
mdp.39015031224317	“ And if he wants to do it up properly, how about a little more of that nice red wine across the way to do it with?
mdp.39015031224317	“ And that it was n’t yours again — for an hour last night?
mdp.39015031224317	“ And then — why not my room? ” he went on.
mdp.39015031224317	“ And what else would it be, with a knife sticking in her back? ” broke in Cassidy with a certain bitter Sarcasm.
mdp.39015031224317	“ And will you let me out of this jail and keep your mouth 238 MURDER UNLEASHED closed about my being here?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Are n’t we ever going to sleep? ” he said plaintively.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Are you in this or are n’t you? ” the police reporter wanted to know, still in that deliberate, rather deadly voice.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Are you really in love with him, Blake? ” Peter said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ As a guest of your hotel? ” “ He was. ” The answer was brief but somehow pretty comprehensive.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Because I might be a murderer?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Blackmail, eh? ” Kennedy commented.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Blackmail, eh? ” he said thoughtfully.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Blake, ” Peter said, puzzled, “ do you know a guy named Dennis — Dennis Devore? ” MURDER UNLEASHED 19 “ Heavens, no, ” Blake said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Blake, ” he said, “ what about Dennis, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Business? ” he said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ But why, ” he wanted to know, “ your room? ” Dennis looked at him steadily with dark eyes staring through him and far away beyond him.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Confession? ” he barely breathed.
mdp.39015031224317	“ D'you think I see murder's work every day?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Dark night? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Darling, ” wrote Dennis, dark head bowed closely over his inadequate tools, “ do you wish me to be seri- ous?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Dennis, ” Blake said curiously, watching him drive, “ you love this place of yours, do n’t you? ” “ ‘ Where the heart is.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Dennis, ” Blake said suddenly, “ where are you going? ” “ I do n’t quite know. ” Dennis wrinkled his brow mildly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Did she wear any jewels? ” “ Sure, she might have, sir.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Did you open the windows? ” “ No. ” Sullivan slouched in his seat.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Did you see any cause of death, or know she was dead? ” “ I knew she was dead, ” Dennis said simply.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Did, eh?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do I hear the whip crack? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do I look as if I was fresh? ” “ You look as if you needed a shower and a shave, ” Peter commented frankly on his appearance.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do I look interesting? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do n’t you remember?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do n’t you see? ” appeal- ing to them as a judge would instruct a jury, patiently.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do you get it, Blake?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do you mind signing for it? ” His voice was bland and innocent again.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do you recognize the man who came into the lobby at a few minutes after twelve that night? ” He did, and pointed Dennis out, by name.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do you remember saying that, Dennis, yesterday morning?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do you remember those rotten puns Dennis made? ” she asked, a bit wistfully but with her eyes shining.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Do you think anyone, on the night of the murder, used those stairs to go — down, from Mr. Devore's room on the fourth floor?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Does it matter? ” Dennis retorted.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Father Malletti? ” asked Kennedy.
mdp.39015031224317	“ First, who was she?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Go in and get him! ” “ With what? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Got the dates — see? ” he said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Hand ’em over, Pete, will you? ” This ceremony was accomplished with no other for- mality than a grunt of acknowledgment by Sullivan.
mdp.39015031224317	“ He did n’t stop, or come back until next morning? ” Peter inquired, expressionless.
mdp.39015031224317	“ He is n't there now? ” the coroner followed that up quickly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ He is, is n’t he? ” The shoutin'bearcat cackled in delight.
mdp.39015031224317	“ He knocked on the door, and before I could open it he'd shoved right in on his key. ” “ Before you could open it? ” Sullivan said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ He told Kennedy and me about it night before last — remember?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Her folks had quite a lot of influence down there, did n’t they? ” he asked, grinning.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How come it's the same colors? ” “ Listen, ” Peter said, “ you may be right — they never found the shawl.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How do I know? ” he said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How'd these receipts get here?
mdp.39015031224317	“ How'd you do it? ” “ This is an inquest, not a trial, ” Peter reminded him.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How'd you know me — of me? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How's the head? ” Sullivan asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How's this look to you?
mdp.39015031224317	“ How's tricks? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ How's your head? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Huh? ” he saiºtă to the crisp voice over the line.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I almost wish we'd never get home. ” “ Good God, are we only going to your place, Den- nis? ” Peter boomed.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I did n't at the time. ” “ How is Father Malletti? ” asked Blake of Sullivan softly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I give him that, anyway. ” “ Is that all? ” asked Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I sing over it every night, at the same time. ” “ Eleven forty- five to twelve, eh? ” Sullivan said, ex- pressionless.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I think, ” Blake said slowly, “ the only thing the matter with Dennis is that he's too chivalrous. ” “ What? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I told you we know a lot more about our unknown than we did! ” “ What, for instance? ” Peter suggested.
mdp.39015031224317	“ I told you who Wong is, did n't I?
mdp.39015031224317	“ If I could break it off now What's the use?
mdp.39015031224317	“ If you wait till I can get my things on again will you promise not to sing?
mdp.39015031224317	“ In particular?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Is he, do you know, wearing the same suit he was wearing when you saw him come in that night at that time? ” The hotel clerk thought he was.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Is that necessary? ” Blake asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ It was n’t found? ” Dennis asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Killed? ” The manager took him up sharply.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Known — as the police say — to me? ” Dennis shook his head.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Leaving us? ” He took out his cigarette case and offered Dennis a smoke.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Lights on? ” Cassidy said, glancing around the room.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Like he always does — as if he was going places, and in a hurry. ” “ Indeed? ” said the coroner.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Listen, ” he said, “ send the manager up here right away, will you? ” “ He ’s just gone up in the elevator, ” the clerk said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Love letter? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Matches? ” he asked Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Mind if I smoke? ” “ Do, ” said Blake.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Murder, eh? ” he went on.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Murder? ” emphasized the little round coroner.
mdp.39015031224317	“ My bare hands? ” “ He gave your name, ” Blake said softly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Oh, yeah?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Oh, you're wanting to speak to him? ” the woman asked shrewdly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Oh? ” said Peter as softly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ One more question: Do you recognize Mr. Devore from among those in the room now? ” Malloy's deep Irish eyes rested on Dennis for a second.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Only — it looked like a man might, layin ’ down. ” “ Did you touch it — afterwards? ” asked Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Only — who did it? ” Dennis withdrew his gaze from the tablecloth that he ’d been staring at.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Or a flashlight, any of you? ”- Peter struck a match.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Or are clues the things you do n’t do?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Or does your plowman send these home to his old mother, Dennis? ” Peter and Dennis began spreading the receipts out on the table.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Or well known. ” “ Ah, ” said Peter, “ but do we? ” “ Of course you do, ” said Blake briskly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Recognize this? ” “ Money- order receipts, ” confirmed Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Shall I give it to you now? ” “ All you ’ve got, ” grunted Peter, dropping down onto the side of the bunk.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Smoke? ” Kennedy said and fished out a packet of cigarettes.
mdp.39015031224317	“ So I'm to stay in all day?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Some people, ” he said slowly, “ are a long time dying, are n't they?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Step on it, guy. ” “ Got a press badge?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Stepped out a second?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Sure he's a good guy. ” “ What do you think of him compared to Dennis?
mdp.39015031224317	“ That mean anything to you? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ That means white flower, does n’t it?
mdp.39015031224317	“ That was all there was to it? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ That was all, sir. ” “ How long did you stay with the car up there after she got out? ” “ Not a second, sir.
mdp.39015031224317	“ That was for last week- end, was n’t it?
mdp.39015031224317	“ That's our war cry. ” “ Smoke? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Then that leaves — me, does n’t it?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Then there's Dennis, what were you going to say just now? ” she pounced suddenly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Then what? ” He wanted to be doing something, to be in action.
mdp.39015031224317	“ There was no further conversation between you? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Things are beginning to break, eh? ” said Kennedy.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Things do n’t come to an end, do they? ” he asked huskily.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Think I want to shoot myself accidentally some day?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Think, Dennis. ” “ Think? ” cried Dennis furiously, hopelessly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ This case? ” MURDER UNLEASHED 101 s- “ Rapier ’s. ” That was Peter's judicial opinion, briefly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Touch anything? ” Sullivan asked now.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Trace the knife? ” Kennedy thrust at him.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Twenty- five minutes past twelve, you said?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Was it — Farnese? ” Bowden shrugged again, less clearly seen than ever.
mdp.39015031224317	“ We ’re going places. ” “ Now? ” said Dennis wonderingly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ We'd better find out his proper name, by the way, if he ’s going to be our relative. ” “ Does it matter? ” asked Blake.
mdp.39015031224317	“ We'll have to take your fingerprints, ” he said to Dennis, “ if that ’s agreeable. ” “ Why not? ” Dennis said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well what? ” Byrne growled back at him.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well, Dennis, ” Peter gave in, “ what happened down at the Hall, after that? ” “ It was a great deal like being X- rayed, ” he replied.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well, what happened in there? ” he nodded toward the closed door.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well, what happened then?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well, what's Morgan like, really? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well, ” he said, “ I ’m not such a dumb dick after all, am I? ” Kennedy stared at him pityingly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well? ” it said, slowly, deliberately, a bit contemptu- ously, into the continued silence.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Well? ” said a tense Blake, at the end of the wharf.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Were you at Stanford? ” He waited suspiciously for those familiar words of a claim on him to come.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What are clues?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What are friends, Blake? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What are you doing down here in those clothes? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What are you doing here, then? ” It was like a ghost summoning one to judgment.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What can we do? ” Peter said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What country, love, is this? ” said Dennis to himself, as though he were trying to remember something he'd forgotten.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What did Mr. Devore have to say about this dis- covery? ” asked the coroner keenly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What did you do then, Mr. Devore? ” “ I thought of opening the windows, ” Dennis said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What did you tell her? ” The deep old eyes shone darkly alive as Dennis's own eyes, in that sunken mask of an indomitable old face.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What do I think? ” said the boy bleakly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What does he look like, Dennis? ” Peter said quietly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What else did you expect her to be? ” “ Was that why he would n’t let me — ” Peter nodded.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What happened to it? ” “ A bullet tried to make connections with it, ” Peter said, “ but just missed the train.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What in hell is Victor Farnese's name doing here?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What was his appear- ance?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What was that bumpy thing in your side pocket — a gun? ” 112 MURDER UNLEASHED “ Cigarette case. ” Dennis showed it to her, grinning.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What would keep you, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What ’ll it be? ” asked Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's Inspector Sullivan like? ” asked Blake with a proper awe of the constabulary.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's his name?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's that big building — the gray one? ” Dennis asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's that?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's that?
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's that? ” “ An old American custom, ” Peter explained.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's the idea? ” “ Under your hat, Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What's your name? ” “ Devore, ” he told them.
mdp.39015031224317	“ What? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Where does he belong? ” “ Bowden belongs to the stupidly cruel, I think, ” Dennis answered.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Where have I heard that word before? ” The roof garden was cool.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Where ’ll we eat? ” demanded Peter, as they stood on the outside steps beside Sullivan.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Where's Blake? ” he asked hurriedly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Which one — Bianca's?
mdp.39015031224317	“ White — with red roses? ” asked Blake swiftly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who are you, anyway? ” Cassidy snapped.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who d'you mean? ” asked Dennis, with quickening breath.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who did it? ” He was like a fierce little hunting terrier now, sharp in excitement, merciless.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who did it? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who is he, and why? ” She dropped into the big chair by the hall table and managed to wind herself up in its seat like a cat.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who is she? ” Cassidy demanded, jerking his head first at the woman and then at Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who is she? ” asked the hotel manager, still staring at her.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who reports first? ” he asked, looking up.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who were my pleasant neighbors? ” he asked grimly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who ’s that? ” he whispered hoarsely to Sullivan.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who're in these rooms along this hall, anyway?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who's that guy? ” Sullivan rumbled an answer.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Who, ” she retorted, “ knew as much about Dennis's affairs as he did himself?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Why was it necessary? ” “ It was n't, ” Dennis retorted.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Why would n't I? ” The shadow of a grin went around the room.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Why would n’t I be? ” thought Dennis furiously.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Why'd he keep these? ” Blake asked them, her eyes going wide and bluer in the flare of the oil- lamp light.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Why, what could there be? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Why? ” “ Always meant to, ” said Bowden lazily, “ sometime.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Will you shut up? ” said Dennis in a restrained but ferocious voice.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Wong wo n't mind, and if he does, why, who's the boss here, anyway? ” “ Wong, ” said Peter.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Would I risk my mortal soul to do such a thing?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Yeh, but how do I know if Kennedy is good for a long ride like this? ” “ You ’ll know! ” said Dennis ominously.
mdp.39015031224317	“ Yes? ” he said.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You Devore? ” Dennis nodded.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You did n’t get fresh with them, did you? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You do n’t mind if I go over it? ” he asked offhand- edly and disappeared down the companionway to the cabin.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You do n’t think you ’re coming back here to stay, do you? ” he asked coldly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You heard noth- ing when you came in? ” “ Nothing, ” Dennis said tiredly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You heard?
mdp.39015031224317	“ You know this man — Devore? ” the coroner asked as a form of beginning, indicating Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You tell them 25* “ Ca n’t they? ” said Dennis.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You wanted Father Malletti? ” said the beautiful voice.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You ’d better go to bed again. ” º “ Where are you going? ” his sister asked, preparing to go.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You ’ll be a great drawing card now, kid. ” “ Oh, yeah? ” asked Dennis coldly.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You ’re Byrne, are n't you? ” He hesitated a second.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You ’re not of our faith? ” he said again.
mdp.39015031224317	“ You?
mdp.39015031224317	“ Your boat? ” inquired Peter, going ahead grimly with his duty anyway.
mdp.39015030741030	A beer?
mdp.39015030741030	A hundred thousand?
mdp.39015030741030	A man? mdp.39015030741030 A private home?"
mdp.39015030741030	A woman?
mdp.39015030741030	About me?
mdp.39015030741030	About what?
mdp.39015030741030	Ahh —"Sounds good, huh? mdp.39015030741030 Aitchison did n't say anything, did he?"
mdp.39015030741030	All?
mdp.39015030741030	Alone?
mdp.39015030741030	Am I in the wrong room? mdp.39015030741030 Am I not good?"
mdp.39015030741030	Ami?
mdp.39015030741030	And Miss Travers?
mdp.39015030741030	And how do I stand?
mdp.39015030741030	And the keys?
mdp.39015030741030	And the manner of his death?
mdp.39015030741030	And you can sell it all over again, huh?
mdp.39015030741030	And you did n't find the gun?
mdp.39015030741030	And you?
mdp.39015030741030	Are n't you MacKinnon?
mdp.39015030741030	Are n't you ever going in?
mdp.39015030741030	Are n't you two ever going in?
mdp.39015030741030	Are you going to change your dress?
mdp.39015030741030	Arriba?
mdp.39015030741030	At what time?
mdp.39015030741030	Because they'd killed your husband?
mdp.39015030741030	Being a little exclusive, are n't you?
mdp.39015030741030	Between friends?
mdp.39015030741030	Business?
mdp.39015030741030	But do I detect a slight edge in your tone?
mdp.39015030741030	But do n't you think you should wait?
mdp.39015030741030	But tell me in here, will you? mdp.39015030741030 But — what did they want?"
mdp.39015030741030	By what?
mdp.39015030741030	Cigarette?
mdp.39015030741030	Come here often?
mdp.39015030741030	Coming?
mdp.39015030741030	Could you come down for a little while? mdp.39015030741030 Date?"
mdp.39015030741030	Denny Clarke is no good, huh? mdp.39015030741030 Denny double- crossed you a little, did n't he?
mdp.39015030741030	Did he?
mdp.39015030741030	Did the doorman say if he was big — this blond guy?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you declare this when you came through the Customs?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you get two?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you have any special amount in mind?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you know him in Lisbon?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you stay long?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you talk with her? mdp.39015030741030 Do you know Luiz Rodriguez?"
mdp.39015030741030	Do you know about that business at the Palm Hotel?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you know him?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you like him?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you mind? mdp.39015030741030 Do you re- member pretty well what was in that manuscript?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you think we should?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you think you could manage one?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you want me to?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you want to go into the bar for a while? mdp.39015030741030 Do you, Paul?"
mdp.39015030741030	Do — do you really think so?
mdp.39015030741030	Does Alfredo understand English?
mdp.39015030741030	Does being a cop entitle you to search other people's rooms?
mdp.39015030741030	Does he always come alone?
mdp.39015030741030	Does it matter who he is? mdp.39015030741030 Does there have to be any- thing else?"

mdp.39015030741030	For what?
mdp.39015030741030	For yourself?
mdp.39015030741030	From Dave Adams?
mdp.39015030741030	Got another job now, hunh?
mdp.39015030741030	Have I?
mdp.39015030741030	Have you a match?
mdp.39015030741030	Have you any other bright ideas?
mdp.39015030741030	Have you found out anything more? mdp.39015030741030 Have you gone to bed?"
mdp.39015030741030	Have you got time to ride back to the Palm with me?
mdp.39015030741030	Have you had dinner?
mdp.39015030741030	Have you worked it out?
mdp.39015030741030	Having fun?
mdp.39015030741030	He does n't know you're following him? mdp.39015030741030 He was a cop?"
mdp.39015030741030	He's in Germany now, is n't he?
mdp.39015030741030	Held you up? mdp.39015030741030 Hey, where you kids been?"
mdp.39015030741030	Hot, hunh?
mdp.39015030741030	How about it, Mac? mdp.39015030741030 How are you doing?"
mdp.39015030741030	How are you fixed for money?
mdp.39015030741030	How are you fixed for time?
mdp.39015030741030	How could she hate me so?
mdp.39015030741030	How could she, Paul?
mdp.39015030741030	How did you get in?
mdp.39015030741030	How did you know I had this manuscript?
mdp.39015030741030	How do I know? mdp.39015030741030 How do you feel?"

mdp.39015030741030	How much is there?
mdp.39015030741030	How much,he said,"do you think an American publisher would give Winston Churchill as an advance on his memoirs?
mdp.39015030741030	How much?
mdp.39015030741030	How the hell could I now?
mdp.39015030741030	How were the races?
mdp.39015030741030	How would you like a slap in the mouth?
mdp.39015030741030	How'd you like to go to Havana?
mdp.39015030741030	Hunh?
mdp.39015030741030	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015030741030	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015030741030	I know but —"You mean you have n't got anything anyone wants?

mdp.39015030741030	If it is Mr. MacKinnon's idea,she said, speaking to Rodriguez,"why does he not do the explaining?"

mdp.39015030741030	It does not bother you?
mdp.39015030741030	It was what you wanted?
mdp.39015030741030	It would n't be because you're still a little soft about her, would it?
mdp.39015030741030	It's probably the heat... Where's Adrienne?
mdp.39015030741030	Leon? mdp.39015030741030 Like what?"
mdp.39015030741030	Look,he said;"have you got a date for"dinner?"
mdp.39015030741030	Manuel who?
mdp.39015030741030	May I see it?
mdp.39015030741030	Me?
mdp.39015030741030	Me?
mdp.39015030741030	Meaning me?
mdp.39015030741030	Must you pace like the caged lion?
mdp.39015030741030	Neither of you were hurt, were you?
mdp.39015030741030	Next time,he said,"we'll have a nightcap or three, hunh?"
mdp.39015030741030	Norma? mdp.39015030741030 Now what's the matter?"
mdp.39015030741030	Oh — you do not feel well?
mdp.39015030741030	Oh, what difference does it make? mdp.39015030741030 Oh, what difference does it make?
mdp.39015030741030	Oh, you mean boxing matches? mdp.39015030741030 Oh?
mdp.39015030741030	Oh? mdp.39015030741030 Oh?"
mdp.39015030741030	Oh?
mdp.39015030741030	Oh?
mdp.39015030741030	Oh?
mdp.39015030741030	Oh?
mdp.39015030741030	Okay?
mdp.39015030741030	Or should we call the police?
mdp.39015030741030	Or was it Adrienne?
mdp.39015030741030	Or with the gun?
mdp.39015030741030	Or your pals in the United Chemical cartel — or both?
mdp.39015030741030	Palm Hotel? mdp.39015030741030 Paul?"
mdp.39015030741030	Phony papers? mdp.39015030741030 Phuie?
mdp.39015030741030	Ready for another job?
mdp.39015030741030	Really?
mdp.39015030741030	Saturday, huh?
mdp.39015030741030	Sevigny was going to write a book?
mdp.39015030741030	Sevigny — Travers — what dif- ference does it make? mdp.39015030741030 Sevigny?"
mdp.39015030741030	Sevigny?
mdp.39015030741030	Shall we go back,he said,"or would you like another drink?"
mdp.39015030741030	She did? mdp.39015030741030 She was the blonde* one — Miss Travers?"
mdp.39015030741030	She will come tonight?
mdp.39015030741030	Shoot the breeze?
mdp.39015030741030	So what?
mdp.39015030741030	So what?
mdp.39015030741030	So what?
mdp.39015030741030	Sorry?
mdp.39015030741030	Sort of an autobiography?
mdp.39015030741030	Still touchy?
mdp.39015030741030	That's all it is but — look, you do n't think you were followed? mdp.39015030741030 That?"
mdp.39015030741030	The lady would n't like that, would she? mdp.39015030741030 The man in 319 was shot?"
mdp.39015030741030	The refugee Frenchmen who are afraid to go back unless it's destroyed?
mdp.39015030741030	The way I dance?
mdp.39015030741030	Then he did have such a manuscript?
mdp.39015030741030	Then how about eating with me?
mdp.39015030741030	Then why were you waiting for her at the Customs House the morning she arrived?
mdp.39015030741030	Then,said MacKinnon,"how does it get to be my fault?"
mdp.39015030741030	There was a little trouble when Vidal attempted to-"Where is he?
mdp.39015030741030	Was I? mdp.39015030741030 Was he a big guy?"
mdp.39015030741030	Was that why I found the door unlocked? mdp.39015030741030 Was that your idea?
mdp.39015030741030	Well, was n't it?
mdp.39015030741030	Well, what do you know?
mdp.39015030741030	Were you working with her, Denny?
mdp.39015030741030	What I want to know,MacKinnon said,"is how Mrs. WOMAN AT BAY[ 23I Gerand got into the picture?
mdp.39015030741030	What about Adrienne?
mdp.39015030741030	What about her?
mdp.39015030741030	What about him?
mdp.39015030741030	What about the man in the car?
mdp.39015030741030	What about this?
mdp.39015030741030	What about you?
mdp.39015030741030	What are we supposed to want?
mdp.39015030741030	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015030741030	What did he hope to get out of it, money?
mdp.39015030741030	What did she look like?
mdp.39015030741030	What did you expect to get out of it?
mdp.39015030741030	What did you say?
mdp.39015030741030	What do you mean, all? mdp.39015030741030 What do you mean, no, Mac?"
mdp.39015030741030	What do you say?
mdp.39015030741030	What do you think, Leon? mdp.39015030741030 What do you want?"
mdp.39015030741030	What does he do?
mdp.39015030741030	What does your cable say?
mdp.39015030741030	What else?
mdp.39015030741030	What good would that do?
mdp.39015030741030	What guy?
mdp.39015030741030	What happened to the original?
mdp.39015030741030	What happened?
mdp.39015030741030	What have you done since Spain, Paul?
mdp.39015030741030	What is it, Paul?
mdp.39015030741030	What is that,he said,"sarcasm?
mdp.39015030741030	What name?
mdp.39015030741030	What was his racket?
mdp.39015030741030	What was the trouble?
mdp.39015030741030	What were you going to do with it? mdp.39015030741030 What would you have done?"
mdp.39015030741030	What're you doing?
mdp.39015030741030	What's on your mind?
mdp.39015030741030	What's on your mind?
mdp.39015030741030	What's that house?
mdp.39015030741030	What's that place?
mdp.39015030741030	What's that stuff?
mdp.39015030741030	What's up?
mdp.39015030741030	What's up?
mdp.39015030741030	What? mdp.39015030741030 What?"
mdp.39015030741030	What?
mdp.39015030741030	What?
mdp.39015030741030	What?
mdp.39015030741030	When can I hear from you?
mdp.39015030741030	When do we get to the murder?
mdp.39015030741030	When're you going to South America? mdp.39015030741030 When?
mdp.39015030741030	When?
mdp.39015030741030	When?
mdp.39015030741030	When?
mdp.39015030741030	When?
mdp.39015030741030	Where are you bound?
mdp.39015030741030	Where does Aitchison come in?
mdp.39015030741030	Where is he?
mdp.39015030741030	Where shall I start?
mdp.39015030741030	Where'd you see him?
mdp.39015030741030	Where? mdp.39015030741030 Where?
mdp.39015030741030	Which way does he come?
mdp.39015030741030	Who are they, Paul? mdp.39015030741030 Who can say?
mdp.39015030741030	Who got the divorce?
mdp.39015030741030	Who helped you?
mdp.39015030741030	Who is he?
mdp.39015030741030	Who is he?
mdp.39015030741030	Who is he?
mdp.39015030741030	Who told you?
mdp.39015030741030	Who're you working for? mdp.39015030741030 Who's Arturo?
mdp.39015030741030	Who's bringing it in?
mdp.39015030741030	Who's kidding who?
mdp.39015030741030	Who's that over there, Carlos? mdp.39015030741030 Who?"
mdp.39015030741030	Whose mistake?
mdp.39015030741030	Why could n't we go up to your place and just have a couple of drinks and shoot the breeze a while?
mdp.39015030741030	Why did Mrs. Gerand send the maid in?
mdp.39015030741030	Why did he leave?
mdp.39015030741030	Why did n't you get it yourself? mdp.39015030741030 Why did you come?"
mdp.39015030741030	Why does any woman travel so far?
mdp.39015030741030	Why not? mdp.39015030741030 Why not?"
mdp.39015030741030	Why should she take it to Cuba — if she had it?
mdp.39015030741030	Why should you think it was at the post office at all?
mdp.39015030741030	Why would he do that?
mdp.39015030741030	Why?
mdp.39015030741030	Why?
mdp.39015030741030	Why?
mdp.39015030741030	Why?
mdp.39015030741030	Will water do?
mdp.39015030741030	Will you do it?
mdp.39015030741030	Will you have the next one with me?
mdp.39015030741030	Will you watch for Mrs. Brissard and Miss Travers?
mdp.39015030741030	Will you?
mdp.39015030741030	With your hand?
mdp.39015030741030	Would this be the man who drove the car for the blonde woman?
mdp.39015030741030	Would you bring me luck, Paul?
mdp.39015030741030	Would you have time for one drink? mdp.39015030741030 Would you like to have breakfast with me?"
mdp.39015030741030	Would you like to hear it?
mdp.39015030741030	Would you say it was a coincidence that you should be here when a wife you have n't seen in years arrives from Lisbon?
mdp.39015030741030	Would you want to go out somewhere and dance?
mdp.39015030741030	Yeah, but —"You are curious that I should know how to say it? mdp.39015030741030 Yesterday?"
mdp.39015030741030	You agree then that the same person killed both Molina and Zayas?
mdp.39015030741030	You are John Macy?
mdp.39015030741030	You are a writer?
mdp.39015030741030	You are an old friend of Miss Travers, are you not? mdp.39015030741030 You are saying that Mrs. Brissard killed Victor Molina?"
mdp.39015030741030	You can prove this?
mdp.39015030741030	You checking up on Norma now?
mdp.39015030741030	You could n't cut it short, could you? mdp.39015030741030 You did all the dirty work and what did you get?"
mdp.39015030741030	You did n't know Norma before you sailed?
mdp.39015030741030	You did n't tell anyone why you wanted the informa- tion?
mdp.39015030741030	You did not do this?
mdp.39015030741030	You do n't like the vacation story?
mdp.39015030741030	You do n't really think she has anything to do with it, do you?
mdp.39015030741030	You do not deny you sold the manuscript to Mr. Aitchi- son?
mdp.39015030741030	You felt this would help your country's war effort?
mdp.39015030741030	You had no desire to take an active part in the war? mdp.39015030741030 You had some trouble?"
mdp.39015030741030	You had to pay more in the end, did n't you?
mdp.39015030741030	You have been downtown?
mdp.39015030741030	You have your passport?
mdp.39015030741030	You just do n't give a damn, do you, Mac?
mdp.39015030741030	You knew I had information? mdp.39015030741030 You know her?"
mdp.39015030741030	You know the name?
mdp.39015030741030	You know what she was?
mdp.39015030741030	You know what would go good now?
mdp.39015030741030	You mean he owns it?
mdp.39015030741030	You mean off the record?
mdp.39015030741030	You never did have the manuscript, did you?
mdp.39015030741030	You refer to Mrs. Brissard? mdp.39015030741030 You refer to the lack of proof?"
mdp.39015030741030	You think I'm going to yell for you to get me out?
mdp.39015030741030	You think this has something to do with what happened in 319?
mdp.39015030741030	You two know each other?
mdp.39015030741030	You want a ride?
mdp.39015030741030	You were downtown together? mdp.39015030741030 You were going to Spain, were n't you?"
mdp.39015030741030	You were n't very nice to Denny, were you?
mdp.39015030741030	You will excuse me?
mdp.39015030741030	You will give me a forfeit if I do not agree?
mdp.39015030741030	You will give me ten minutes?
mdp.39015030741030	You wonder why I do not go back to France now that it is free again?
mdp.39015030741030	You would like me to follow him?
mdp.39015030741030	You would n't want a drink, would you?
mdp.39015030741030	You write stories?
mdp.39015030741030	You're awfully touchy about it, are n't you?
mdp.39015030741030	You're sort of reaching, are n't you?
mdp.39015030741030	You're sure?
mdp.39015030741030	You've met everyone? mdp.39015030741030 Zayas searched their rooms,"MacKinnon said, aware that Rodriguez was not telling all the story,"but what was he bother- ing me for?
mdp.39015030741030	* Oh?"
mdp.39015030741030	10] WOMAN AT BAY"You think his name might be in that diary — if there is a diary?"
mdp.39015030741030	124] WOMAN AT BAY"Breakfast?"
mdp.39015030741030	150] WOMAN AT BAY"You know who she is?"
mdp.39015030741030	44] WOMAN AT BAY"What are you thinking, Paul?"
mdp.39015030741030	88] WOMAN AT BAY"What else have you got that says so?"
mdp.39015030741030	92] WOMAN AT BAY"Oh?"
mdp.39015030741030	94] WOMAN AT BAY"With Miss Travers?"
mdp.39015030741030	A man's voice said:"Mozo?"
mdp.39015030741030	About me, I mean?"
mdp.39015030741030	Aitchison's and another which said:"How the hell do I know?
mdp.39015030741030	Aitchison's?"
mdp.39015030741030	Am I right so far?"
mdp.39015030741030	Am I supposed to arrest her and then prosecute the case?"
mdp.39015030741030	And how long do you think it would take her to go from her bedroom to Norma's and take care of Zayas?"
mdp.39015030741030	And what the hell good would that do?
mdp.39015030741030	And why, then, had she not turned the manuscript over to the State Department there?
mdp.39015030741030	And will you come as soon as I phone you?
mdp.39015030741030	And you want me to help, so what do I do?"
mdp.39015030741030	Are there any fights in town?"
mdp.39015030741030	Are we ready?"
mdp.39015030741030	Are you alone?
mdp.39015030741030	Are you going to be around awhile?"
mdp.39015030741030	As a personal favor, is that it?
mdp.39015030741030	As though she had read his mind and found a common meeting ground, she said:"You did n't quite believe me yesterday, did you?"
mdp.39015030741030	At your place?"
mdp.39015030741030	Brissard?"
mdp.39015030741030	Brissard?"
mdp.39015030741030	But how did he know that in this case the police meant Rodriguez?
mdp.39015030741030	Clarke?"
mdp.39015030741030	Clarke?"
mdp.39015030741030	Clarke?"
mdp.39015030741030	Did anything happen today?"
mdp.39015030741030	Did we bore you?"
mdp.39015030741030	Did you bother to look?
mdp.39015030741030	Did you ever happen to run into her in Lisbon?"
mdp.39015030741030	Did you know who she was, MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	Did you think I was tight?"
mdp.39015030741030	Djd she come into your room?
mdp.39015030741030	Do you agree to this or shall we stop on our way and get an order giving me the necessary authority?"
mdp.39015030741030	Do you know Rodriguez?"
mdp.39015030741030	Do you know them?"
mdp.39015030741030	Do you not think his killer should be made to pay the penalty?"
mdp.39015030741030	Does my nose shine?"
mdp.39015030741030	For any special reason?"
mdp.39015030741030	For what, a miracle?
mdp.39015030741030	From scratch, was n't it?"
mdp.39015030741030	Gerand?"
mdp.39015030741030	Has he eaten yet?"
mdp.39015030741030	Have you anything on?"
mdp.39015030741030	Have you seen her?"
mdp.39015030741030	He caught it and she said:"I do n't suppose you'd be interested to know just how much I detest you, would you?"'
mdp.39015030741030	He glanced at her and she was watching Denny too, so finally he said:"Now what do I do?"
mdp.39015030741030	He got around, hunh?
mdp.39015030741030	He heard himself say:"Could we get that nightcap in your room?"
mdp.39015030741030	He put on what he thought was an expression of polite surprise and said,"Yesterday?"
mdp.39015030741030	He said:"I think I saw you down at the Customs House this morning, did n't I?"
mdp.39015030741030	He signalled the waiter and then he said,"You met Arturo in Switzerland?"
mdp.39015030741030	He was all set, was n't he?
mdp.39015030741030	History would be different, would n't it?
mdp.39015030741030	How are you?"
mdp.39015030741030	How could that someone find out?"
mdp.39015030741030	How did he know the guy would be so good?
mdp.39015030741030	How do you like that?
mdp.39015030741030	How is Miss Travers this afternoon?"
mdp.39015030741030	How long've you been here?
mdp.39015030741030	How would one o'clock strike you?"
mdp.39015030741030	I got quite close to the Spanish border without trouble and after that —"She faltered and glanced away and MacKinnon said:"Victor Molina?"
mdp.39015030741030	I mean what were you going to pay Clarke for following Norma here from Lisbon?"
mdp.39015030741030	I mean, what stores?"
mdp.39015030741030	I need someone who —"she faltered, groping for a word and he said:"After six years?"
mdp.39015030741030	I under- stand Aitchison backs it and a lot of Frenchmen go there —""Backs?"
mdp.39015030741030	If Ramon comes — oh, but you do not know him, do you?
mdp.39015030741030	If it had been delivered this afternoon?"
mdp.39015030741030	If you had n't run away —""Oh, it was all my fault?"
mdp.39015030741030	If your being here is just coincidence —""How remote?"
mdp.39015030741030	Is something the matter?"
mdp.39015030741030	Is that it, Denny?
mdp.39015030741030	It could n't be Bruce Aitchison, could it?"
mdp.39015030741030	It was nothing to worry about, was it?
mdp.39015030741030	Like I'd do for any lovely dame?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon grinned inwardly and thought, Afternoon or evening?
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon said,"What?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon told him and Clarke said,"What were you doing in a place like that?
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	MacKinnon?"
mdp.39015030741030	May I have another?"
mdp.39015030741030	Maybe after lunch I —"She stopped, her eyes sliding past him; then she smiled and said,"How was it?"
mdp.39015030741030	Maybe this is just another Dave Adams pipe dream, but follow me, will you?
mdp.39015030741030	Molina?"
mdp.39015030741030	More business?"
mdp.39015030741030	Mr.—Brissard?"
mdp.39015030741030	Now he half- closed one eye and said:"What did you say?"
mdp.39015030741030	Now if you will tell me where you got it?
mdp.39015030741030	Now what is next?"
mdp.39015030741030	Or are you scared of me?"
mdp.39015030741030	Or did you have a key and leave it unlocked on purpose so that anyone trying the door could walk in and find the body?"
mdp.39015030741030	Or shall we search the place?"
mdp.39015030741030	Or shall we take the woman first?"
mdp.39015030741030	Or were you getting dressed?"
mdp.39015030741030	Or why did n't Clarke?"
mdp.39015030741030	Presently he said:"Who was the guy?"
mdp.39015030741030	Presently, with that same remoteness in her voice, she said:"Do you remember the first time I offered you a drink?"
mdp.39015030741030	Ready, my dear?"
mdp.39015030741030	Shall I tell you why?"
mdp.39015030741030	Shall we eat?"
mdp.39015030741030	Shall we go along and carry their bundles?"
mdp.39015030741030	She had managed to reach Madrid, had n't she?
mdp.39015030741030	She made you believe it too, did n't she?
mdp.39015030741030	She shook her head and he said:"Suppose someone knew you had a key to room 319 at the Palm Hotel?
mdp.39015030741030	She's one of your servants, is n't she?"
mdp.39015030741030	So far you have n't trusted me very much, have you?
mdp.39015030741030	So what did that leave?
mdp.39015030741030	So where was the manu- script now?
mdp.39015030741030	Someone must have been waiting but"— a shrill overtone crept into her words—"how could anyone know?
mdp.39015030741030	Sure you never heard of it?"
mdp.39015030741030	That's what happened, was n't it?
mdp.39015030741030	The Corrubedo still in port?"
mdp.39015030741030	The man had this gun?
mdp.39015030741030	The one in South America?
mdp.39015030741030	The room is yours, Lieutenant... Is it all right if I ask some questions?"
mdp.39015030741030	The telephone rang just after he snapped off the light and when he answered it Norma's voice said:"Did I wake you, Paul?"
mdp.39015030741030	Then how would anyone know about room 319?"
mdp.39015030741030	Then stick with it a while longer, will you?
mdp.39015030741030	Then why did n't you turn it over to the State Department in Lisbon?
mdp.39015030741030	Then you are not John Macy?"
mdp.39015030741030	This gun you carried you took from him?"
mdp.39015030741030	WOMAN AT BAY[ 155"What about your work?"
mdp.39015030741030	WOMAN AT BAY[ 197"Oh?"
mdp.39015030741030	WOMAN AT BAY[ 225"Who are you?"
mdp.39015030741030	WOMAN AT BAY[ 57"What about it?"
mdp.39015030741030	Was that it?"
mdp.39015030741030	Was there any mention of Bruce Aitchison?"
mdp.39015030741030	Well, look, can I come up?
mdp.39015030741030	Well, which way does it vary?"
mdp.39015030741030	Were you afraid to rent room 322 yourself?"
mdp.39015030741030	Were you in love with her — a little?"
mdp.39015030741030	What about you, Paul?
mdp.39015030741030	What about you?"
mdp.39015030741030	What broke it up?
mdp.39015030741030	What did he do, anyway?
mdp.39015030741030	What did he expect to prove by pulling a gun on me and searching my car?"
mdp.39015030741030	What difference does it make?"
mdp.39015030741030	What do you know?"
mdp.39015030741030	What do you think, Paul?"
mdp.39015030741030	What had Clarke done with it immediately after he had killed Victor Molina?
mdp.39015030741030	What happened to you last night?"
mdp.39015030741030	What is that?"
mdp.39015030741030	What other reason might there be?"
mdp.39015030741030	What're you getting out of it, pal, besides a lot of grief?"
mdp.39015030741030	What's his business?"
mdp.39015030741030	What's with you?'
mdp.39015030741030	What's wrong with that?
mdp.39015030741030	When Carlos left MacKinnon said,"What was the original price?
mdp.39015030741030	When Zayas continued to watch the street he said:"Who wants to know about that, Manuel?"
mdp.39015030741030	When did he come?"
mdp.39015030741030	When he closed the top lefthand one MacKinnon said:"What are you supposed to be looking for?"
mdp.39015030741030	When he could he said:"Where is she now?"
mdp.39015030741030	When they were inside Rodriguez said:"Will you get it for me, Mrs. Brissard?
mdp.39015030741030	When was all this?"
mdp.39015030741030	Where does the hunch come in?"
mdp.39015030741030	Where is Norma, Paul?
mdp.39015030741030	Where's that?"
mdp.39015030741030	Where've you been?"
mdp.39015030741030	Why all the third degree?"
mdp.39015030741030	Why did n't you come over and grab that guy last night?
mdp.39015030741030	Why do n't you look him up?
mdp.39015030741030	Why had she not turned it over to the Embassy in Lisbon if her true pur- pose was to see that justice was done?
mdp.39015030741030	Why is she going to Cuba first?
mdp.39015030741030	Why should he risk his life like that?"
mdp.39015030741030	Why should she go all the way to Cuba?"
mdp.39015030741030	Why?"
mdp.39015030741030	Will you go up now?"
mdp.39015030741030	With her already under some suspicion of the first mur- der, it took the pressure off, did n't it?
mdp.39015030741030	With whom?"
mdp.39015030741030	Wo n't it?"
mdp.39015030741030	You did not know she would be in Havana?"
mdp.39015030741030	You have the manuscript, have n't you?"
mdp.39015030741030	You know United Chemical?"
mdp.39015030741030	You know about Pierre Merard?"
mdp.39015030741030	You made no effort to participate as a fighting man?"
mdp.39015030741030	You mean here in the hotel?
mdp.39015030741030	You mean they robbed you?"
mdp.39015030741030	You're a cop, are n't you?
mdp.39015030741030	You're getting awfully nosy, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030741030	You're not married, are you?
mdp.39015063540408	'Sure, the man's intoxicated,'is it? mdp.39015063540408 /?
mdp.39015063540408	About what, Dad?
mdp.39015063540408	About what, dear?
mdp.39015063540408	And have you spread the glad tidings in a nice, ex- citing story? mdp.39015063540408 And vanish completely, by accident?
mdp.39015063540408	And waste a good effect? mdp.39015063540408 Are n't you going?"
mdp.39015063540408	Are you all right, Ruth? mdp.39015063540408 Are you hurt?"
mdp.39015063540408	Are you sure it was me, and not the car? mdp.39015063540408 Are you worrying about Dad, or the ponies, Mums?"
mdp.39015063540408	Back to the room?
mdp.39015063540408	Believe everything you read in the papers?
mdp.39015063540408	Bill, my angel, what are you talking about?
mdp.39015063540408	Brother, I've TIME WILL FLY 277 Grimly the reporter challenged,Want to test that?
mdp.39015063540408	But we planned to, Jim, did n't we? mdp.39015063540408 But what became of him?"
mdp.39015063540408	But why should we?
mdp.39015063540408	But why'd you pick on this poor fish? mdp.39015063540408 But — doesn't he have to report?"
mdp.39015063540408	But, are n't you going to —?
mdp.39015063540408	But, how do you explain the letter, then?
mdp.39015063540408	Ca n't you see, yet? mdp.39015063540408 Can he afford a week in jail?"
mdp.39015063540408	Can you use all three, Grace?
mdp.39015063540408	Checking up on Miss Allison's friends again, Annie? mdp.39015063540408 D'you mind, Larrabee?"
mdp.39015063540408	D'you think, if the chairs were soft enough, you could stand the sight of more food? mdp.39015063540408 Did he say —?
mdp.39015063540408	Did n't like it here, eh?
mdp.39015063540408	Did that scrawl on the back,she puzzled,"have something to do with it, or was it just on the paper?"
mdp.39015063540408	Did you find Mike's at all?
mdp.39015063540408	Do n't you ever do any of the work?
mdp.39015063540408	Do with what?
mdp.39015063540408	Do you think Ryan'd be likely to lend me ten bucks?
mdp.39015063540408	Does your restaurant have com- fortable chairs?
mdp.39015063540408	East Sixty- eighth Street? mdp.39015063540408 Evans around?"
mdp.39015063540408	Evans, you do n't think —?
mdp.39015063540408	Evans?
mdp.39015063540408	Going to Joan's cocktail party?
mdp.39015063540408	Got a match?
mdp.39015063540408	Got a permit?
mdp.39015063540408	Grace,Ruth asked, laughing, as she came up the steps,"I've often meant to ask you before, are you on a party wire?"
mdp.39015063540408	Gu — Gu — Grace?
mdp.39015063540408	Henry Moriarty —Dave actually whispered, his excitement was so overpowering,"stop maundering and tell me — Where did Kay go?
mdp.39015063540408	Here, sir? mdp.39015063540408 His eyes, Doctor — Are they — Will they —?"
mdp.39015063540408	His list? mdp.39015063540408 How d'you get in and out?
mdp.39015063540408	How d'you land so far out in the wilds, anyhow?
mdp.39015063540408	How many years does that add to the sentence?
mdp.39015063540408	Huh?
mdp.39015063540408	Huh?
mdp.39015063540408	I beg your pardon, ma'am?
mdp.39015063540408	I thought you said he was in New York?
mdp.39015063540408	I wonder what train Helen is coming by?
mdp.39015063540408	I'd like a chance to talk to you, if you do n't mind?
mdp.39015063540408	If I'd had a few dollars, you do n't think I'd have put in the last week in jail, do you? mdp.39015063540408 If one of the men had been a Negro, would you hijack all Harlem?
mdp.39015063540408	Is n't there something —?
mdp.39015063540408	It? mdp.39015063540408 Jim?"
mdp.39015063540408	Joanie, darling, just what does it say? mdp.39015063540408 Miss Allison — my partner — the kid with blue eyes — Where'd she go?"
mdp.39015063540408	My life, we know all that — but what does it mean?
mdp.39015063540408	No doubt; but if you do, who'll drive the car? mdp.39015063540408 No?
mdp.39015063540408	No?
mdp.39015063540408	Now, Miss Ruth, why should I be repeating the nonsense that young hussy puts about? mdp.39015063540408 Now, where's that hat?"
mdp.39015063540408	Of course, you do n't look or act in the least blind to me, Mr.—McKay, is n't it?
mdp.39015063540408	Permit? mdp.39015063540408 Pete romantic?
mdp.39015063540408	Pete, old man,he said at last, gently,"do your eyes hurt?"
mdp.39015063540408	Raymond?
mdp.39015063540408	Remembered about that necklace?
mdp.39015063540408	Should I have turned?
mdp.39015063540408	So I was drunk?
mdp.39015063540408	So they're right?
mdp.39015063540408	So what? mdp.39015063540408 Station?"
mdp.39015063540408	Street address? mdp.39015063540408 Sup- pose we sit down to finish this?"
mdp.39015063540408	Suppose I had been the owner, where'd you be now? mdp.39015063540408 Taking you?
mdp.39015063540408	Tell Dad? mdp.39015063540408 The Tavern?"
mdp.39015063540408	The guy that was handling the Grandon theft, until — You remember, some egg swiped the Grandon emeralds, last summer? mdp.39015063540408 Then where the devil have you been this past hour?
mdp.39015063540408	Then you really did mean to write up the thing? mdp.39015063540408 Then, it would be quite safe for you to come down with me?
mdp.39015063540408	Thirty bucks? mdp.39015063540408 Toothache?"
mdp.39015063540408	Valet?
mdp.39015063540408	We — ell,—is that the end of the program?
mdp.39015063540408	Well, Dad?
mdp.39015063540408	Well, I did n't want my real address on the police records —"You did n't have to lie now, though?
mdp.39015063540408	Well, suppose they found him? mdp.39015063540408 Well, what d'you suppose her car's doing out there?
mdp.39015063540408	Well, what do I do now?
mdp.39015063540408	Well, why should n't he? mdp.39015063540408 What about his car?"
mdp.39015063540408	What are you talking about?
mdp.39015063540408	What d'you mean?
mdp.39015063540408	What happened?
mdp.39015063540408	What in the world,demanded the startled on- looker,"are you doing now?"
mdp.39015063540408	What man?
mdp.39015063540408	What the devil d'you mean by that?
mdp.39015063540408	What the devil is all that supposed to mean?
mdp.39015063540408	What's the street address?
mdp.39015063540408	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063540408	What? mdp.39015063540408 Where are the emeralds?"
mdp.39015063540408	Where d'you say I was?
mdp.39015063540408	Where did you come from, Dave?
mdp.39015063540408	Where did you get that name?
mdp.39015063540408	Who,Dave asked feebly,"is Inspector Hawley?
mdp.39015063540408	Why McKay?
mdp.39015063540408	Why do n't we go over to the drug- store there, and have some hot coffee? mdp.39015063540408 Why do we?
mdp.39015063540408	Why leave the parcel, if that was it? mdp.39015063540408 Why not?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why'd she want to come here, anyhow?
mdp.39015063540408	Will you, dearest? mdp.39015063540408 Wo n't you be reasonable?
mdp.39015063540408	Would I have taken up safe- cracking if I had any- one I could get to stake me in my own racket? mdp.39015063540408 Yes, Miss Ruth?"
mdp.39015063540408	Yes, but — Well, what do you do now?
mdp.39015063540408	Yes, old man?
mdp.39015063540408	Yes?
mdp.39015063540408	You broke?
mdp.39015063540408	You do n't know where they went, do you? mdp.39015063540408 You do n't like her, Ailsa?"
mdp.39015063540408	You do n't think he swallowed that story, do you? mdp.39015063540408 You think she's looking for something?"
mdp.39015063540408	You'll have to buy him off, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063540408	You're a reporter? mdp.39015063540408 You're quite sure it's not something Annie in- vented?"
mdp.39015063540408	You've known her a long time?
mdp.39015063540408	Young lady?

mdp.39015063540408	A fire and a friend and a good smoke were all — ALLIANCE BY MOONLIGHT 155 Aloud he said,"I wonder if it's true?"
mdp.39015063540408	A sergeant whom he had never seen before looked up from the charge book and said,"Huh?"
mdp.39015063540408	After a moment, Pete suggested,"The subway?
mdp.39015063540408	All set, now?"
mdp.39015063540408	All you were saying about —?"
mdp.39015063540408	And let him take you to Ruth's dance?
mdp.39015063540408	And so, we break into his private rooms, and tear them apart, just because he acts queer?"
mdp.39015063540408	And what good would it have done you to have my editor fire me for passing up news?
mdp.39015063540408	And what kind of clues?
mdp.39015063540408	And why did you do it?
mdp.39015063540408	And would a planned disappear- ance, such as that would have made it, have overlooked the spoils so singularly?
mdp.39015063540408	And, besides, as I'm the only person you'll have to talk to for some time — unless you've changed your mind? —""Hell, no!
mdp.39015063540408	Are n't you, dear?"
mdp.39015063540408	Are you going out again, Ruth?"
mdp.39015063540408	Are you sure you're calling the right room?
mdp.39015063540408	As she put her hands up to the dials,"You're not going to open his safe?"
mdp.39015063540408	As she swung uptown, Ruth added,"I wonder if she's his mistress?
mdp.39015063540408	Been waiting long?"
mdp.39015063540408	Before he could rally, she inquired lightly,"Or do you prefer Raymond?"
mdp.39015063540408	Busted the study safe, neat as a whistle, while some kind of big party was going on, an'about five hundred guests were all over the place?
mdp.39015063540408	But after that?
mdp.39015063540408	But why could n't you tell the truth, instead of filling us up with lies?"
mdp.39015063540408	But why — What are you doing here in my- my cousin's place, opening his private desk and —?"
mdp.39015063540408	But, if they're the same gang that took the emeralds, what are they hanging around for now?
mdp.39015063540408	But, my stubborn young — are you young? — You must be, to be so childish!"
mdp.39015063540408	By the way, do you run this game by yourself, or do you belong to a gang?"
mdp.39015063540408	Ca n't you see?"
mdp.39015063540408	Ca n't you think of a better lie than that?"
mdp.39015063540408	Can I speak to Ryan for a bit?
mdp.39015063540408	Can you manage?"
mdp.39015063540408	Can you use the other?"
mdp.39015063540408	Car?"
mdp.39015063540408	Could you hand it to me?"
mdp.39015063540408	Cross- word puzzles?"
mdp.39015063540408	Dave almost strangled in his surprise, but in the end he managed to gasp,"What the —?
mdp.39015063540408	Dave cut in,"Buy me?"
mdp.39015063540408	Did he get in touch with you, or did you just happen to come along that morning?"
mdp.39015063540408	Did he hurt you?
mdp.39015063540408	Did n't you hear the name at all?"
mdp.39015063540408	Did you find a place?"
mdp.39015063540408	Did you leave your hat in the car?"
mdp.39015063540408	Did you speak to him? ” “ Why, no.
mdp.39015063540408	Did you think I was insane?
mdp.39015063540408	Do I have to go around with middle- aged wrecks?
mdp.39015063540408	Do n't you see, you ass?
mdp.39015063540408	Do we look respectable enough to use it?"
mdp.39015063540408	Do you mean that you're the Grandon secretary, the one they're hoping can give them a clue to what happened?"
mdp.39015063540408	Do you think you can transform yourself into a middle- aged crank, just for a few days?
mdp.39015063540408	Does n't Miss Allison know where it is?"
mdp.39015063540408	Ed Shaugh- nessy's pal, that Randolph jailed?
mdp.39015063540408	Evans asked,"Do you know the way?"
mdp.39015063540408	Evans urged acidly,"How about it?"
mdp.39015063540408	Even an amachoor shoulda known better — Did n't you see it in the papers this morning?"
mdp.39015063540408	Even if you're right, what's that got to do with it?
mdp.39015063540408	First,"she pointed the glowing cigarette end at the ruffled woman,"when was it?"
mdp.39015063540408	Fishing for a nickel, he asked,"Does this car run any- where near the station?"
mdp.39015063540408	For whose benefit?"
mdp.39015063540408	For, had n't he taken the freckled boy up to the Smiths?
mdp.39015063540408	From you, Mr. Robber! — Where are the emeralds?"
mdp.39015063540408	Have you forgotten everything we agreed about yesterday morning?
mdp.39015063540408	Have you forgotten what we —?"
mdp.39015063540408	He drew a long breath and asked,"What did I do, anyhow?
mdp.39015063540408	He had it all the time — I wonder how he got it, anyhow?
mdp.39015063540408	He listened with an air of exaggerated patience, then said, gruffly,"Got what you wanted?"
mdp.39015063540408	He shifted a little and crossed his legs, then asked,"Did you have much trouble?"
mdp.39015063540408	He slipped the necklace caressingly through his fingers, sighed and asked,"What'U we do with it, Pete?
mdp.39015063540408	Her companion, who was already much calmer, asked quietly,"Where are we going, Al?
mdp.39015063540408	How about it?
mdp.39015063540408	How can you win, if you expect to lose already?"
mdp.39015063540408	How d'you mean, was n't McKay?
mdp.39015063540408	How does that sound?"
mdp.39015063540408	How had they all gotten together?
mdp.39015063540408	How'd you like your stay in the jug?"
mdp.39015063540408	How, he demanded heatedly, could a man, a blind man and therefore a helpless one, disappear completely?
mdp.39015063540408	I could n't help thinking it must be you that —""'Just like me'?
mdp.39015063540408	I did n't mean to scare — Why, Red, your eyes?
mdp.39015063540408	I mean, burglary is all very well in its way, but — d'you always do it so casually?
mdp.39015063540408	I never was quite sure —""Why not try?
mdp.39015063540408	I think it would be rather awkward, do n't you, Ruth?"
mdp.39015063540408	I think they'd be rather glad to find him — don't you?"
mdp.39015063540408	If they're not, why in the world should one of them hide in a house that has just recently been robbed?
mdp.39015063540408	If you were writing a message on two sides of a page, would you write in different direc- tions?"
mdp.39015063540408	If you've any friends in town you can trust —?"
mdp.39015063540408	In the house?"
mdp.39015063540408	In the middle of a particularly mad pirouette, he checked abruptly and demanded,"Have you a phone?"
mdp.39015063540408	In this building?"
mdp.39015063540408	Jim inquired, curiously,"How old are you, Kay?"
mdp.39015063540408	Jim made an effort to rally and asked, feebly,"We?
mdp.39015063540408	Jim swallowed twice and asked, carefully,"What McKay business?"
mdp.39015063540408	Just because he liked music?
mdp.39015063540408	Leave Pete?
mdp.39015063540408	Leave him behind, alone, in the dark?
mdp.39015063540408	Lee, you know I'll hate it — but, if you want to go, dear —""Well, I — Ruth, do you want the tickets?"
mdp.39015063540408	Let me finish, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063540408	Listen, will you?
mdp.39015063540408	Look here — tell me where you got it?
mdp.39015063540408	McKAY'S BODY FOUND IN EAST RIVER"BLIND THIEF"SUICIDE OR MURDERED?
mdp.39015063540408	Not the drug- store brand?"
mdp.39015063540408	Now is n't that nice of me?"
mdp.39015063540408	Now, try to remember and tell me — Do you know where the man went to?"
mdp.39015063540408	Now, what about this drink?
mdp.39015063540408	Now, would n't you?"
mdp.39015063540408	Okay?"
mdp.39015063540408	Or are you too far away from the Hall here?"
mdp.39015063540408	Or perhaps he could n't draw that insane outline the other way —""But why could n't he?
mdp.39015063540408	Or some quite incalculable stranger?
mdp.39015063540408	Or — you do n't suppose he came back and —?"
mdp.39015063540408	Perhaps I can assist you?"
mdp.39015063540408	Pete said,"The hat, Jim?"
mdp.39015063540408	Private or public?
mdp.39015063540408	Raymond?"
mdp.39015063540408	Ruth laughed, agreed that it was a darn shame, and asked,"Where do I come in?"
mdp.39015063540408	Ruth smiled again, and said to her murmuring car, patting the wheel as she waited, 54 GREEN WOOD BURNS SLOW"So Miss Allison's dentist moved?
mdp.39015063540408	Ruth stammered, choking,"Is — is n't this room 1702?"
mdp.39015063540408	Ryan do you any good?"
mdp.39015063540408	Say, who d'you think you are, anyhow?
mdp.39015063540408	Shaken by the impact, Jim swayed a moment, listening to the other man call, as he picked himself up,"Joan — Joanie, are you hurt?"
mdp.39015063540408	Shall I announce you?"
mdp.39015063540408	She called after him as he ran down the steps,"Where's mother?
mdp.39015063540408	She has n't been back since breakfast?
mdp.39015063540408	She looked up into the surprised blue eyes of the secretary, smiled and said, lightly,"Been delivering Father's messages to Reade?
mdp.39015063540408	She slowed, called questioningly,"Bill?"
mdp.39015063540408	She waved at the carpet, adding,"Got any ash- trays?
mdp.39015063540408	Someone I had n’t seen in months! ” “ Who, Ruth? ” Joan laid the tickets down tenderly, stroking them with loving finger- tips.
mdp.39015063540408	Station?"
mdp.39015063540408	Tell me where the necklace is?"
mdp.39015063540408	Tell us, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063540408	That if this — McKay — and the other man had n't been together, the other one would come to see if it really was his partner, prob- ably?"
mdp.39015063540408	That is, if you really want the drink?"
mdp.39015063540408	That was you, of course?"
mdp.39015063540408	That'll save you the trip to Gray's, Miss — Why, what happened to Miss Alli- son?"
mdp.39015063540408	That's over beyond Lex- ington, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063540408	That's the fourth time today you've told me I ca n't stay here, but I ca n't help it, can I?"
mdp.39015063540408	The bags obtained, he called a porter and started back to his companion, telling the ambling Red- cap,"Hurry it, will you?
mdp.39015063540408	The girl I took'em off of would n't be wearin'fakes —""Yuh gon na argue with me?
mdp.39015063540408	The girl beside her jumped, but answered in clear and steady tones,"Yes, Miss Grandon?"
mdp.39015063540408	The husky voice said,"Official, Jim?
mdp.39015063540408	The other two sighed, but gathered obediently over the creased paper, the girl murmuring,"Why does it have to be a cipher, anyhow?
mdp.39015063540408	The's —""Where'd yuh pinch'em?
mdp.39015063540408	Then he asked,"Who are you?
mdp.39015063540408	Then, before she could utter the flaming retort that sprang to her lips, he continued,"If you did n't come in Ruth's car, what's it doing out front?"
mdp.39015063540408	There was in his tone an amusement which provoked his listener into demanding,"What d'you mean?"
mdp.39015063540408	Think it's too dangerous to hang on?"
mdp.39015063540408	Was he leaving town?
mdp.39015063540408	Was it Kay, or the servant to whose existence the or- derly rooms bore witness?
mdp.39015063540408	We were pretty busy. ” “ Young men?
mdp.39015063540408	Well, the boy's broke and needs ten bucks or so — Can you —?
mdp.39015063540408	Were they going for dinner or tea or dancing, or what?
mdp.39015063540408	What am I to do for a job, if the Captain or the Commissioner blow in and see you sitting there?
mdp.39015063540408	What did I hit — a truck?"
mdp.39015063540408	What did I –?
mdp.39015063540408	What ever ails you, Kay?
mdp.39015063540408	What floor did she get off at?"
mdp.39015063540408	What happened to you, brother?
mdp.39015063540408	What happened?"
mdp.39015063540408	What has he —? ” Red groaned, pacing the floor.
mdp.39015063540408	What is it, Pete?
mdp.39015063540408	What mad idea are you playing with now?"
mdp.39015063540408	What paper?
mdp.39015063540408	What the devil's going on here?"
mdp.39015063540408	What was it, Dave?"
mdp.39015063540408	What were you doing, infant?
mdp.39015063540408	What were you trying to do?"
mdp.39015063540408	What would he be doing, back in Providence, that night?
mdp.39015063540408	What —?"
mdp.39015063540408	What'll you give me for these?"
mdp.39015063540408	What?"
mdp.39015063540408	Where can I park?"
mdp.39015063540408	Where d'you keep them?
mdp.39015063540408	Where did you get it?"
mdp.39015063540408	Where do we put on this performance?
mdp.39015063540408	Where you headed, buddy?"
mdp.39015063540408	Where's Evans now?"
mdp.39015063540408	Where?
mdp.39015063540408	Why bother me?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why bother to act?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why did you sit up?
mdp.39015063540408	Why do n't you kids take a hand?
mdp.39015063540408	Why does n't it mean what it says?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why in heaven's name should n't it be?
mdp.39015063540408	Why not give your partner a look- in at the game?
mdp.39015063540408	Why not tell me what I want to know, and cut your losses?
mdp.39015063540408	Why should you think I do?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why the hurry, anyhow?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why would he send you something so complicated it could n't be solved, to start with?
mdp.39015063540408	Why, I'd walk right through them, to come back —""time is money"243"Why bother?
mdp.39015063540408	Why?
mdp.39015063540408	Why?"
mdp.39015063540408	Why?"
mdp.39015063540408	Will I ever see?"
mdp.39015063540408	Wonder they have n't been killed! — Are the Smiths home?"
mdp.39015063540408	Would it have made any dif- ference if he made it half that size?"
mdp.39015063540408	Would you just tell me that?
mdp.39015063540408	You and Annie have been cooking up all sorts of stories about Father's secretary, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063540408	You did n't expect me to shut them all up, did you?
mdp.39015063540408	You got ta clear out — I do n't want to take any more chances than I have to for that thirty bucks, see?"
mdp.39015063540408	You phoned?"
mdp.39015063540408	You remem- ber that guy you picked the fight with?
mdp.39015063540408	You remember?
mdp.39015063540408	You would n't condemn an old friend to starve, would you?"
mdp.39015063540408	You — you would n't —?"
mdp.39015063540408	You'll make the Swede look like a rag- picker — How about it?"
mdp.39015063540408	gone far enough?
mdp.39015063540408	this man McKay?
mdp.39015063540408	“ And you do n’t know where —?
mdp.39015063540408	“ You saw Jim Larrabee, this morning?
mdp.39015063521317	A few minutes after one, I think. ” “ And then? ”I went to my brokers, Halstead and Rice, and stayed there until the market closed.
mdp.39015063521317	A one o'clock train, eh? ” Bryce repeated, biting off his words. mdp.39015063521317 Ah; well, then of course you'd have no idea as to where he could be found now?"
mdp.39015063521317	And Coles? ” Bryce suggested. mdp.39015063521317 And it must have been about six- thirty when we left, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063521317	And so? mdp.39015063521317 Anyone been here?"
mdp.39015063521317	Anything happen? ” He asked the question glumly as if a negative answer was a foregone conclusion. mdp.39015063521317 Anything? ” The man shook his head.
mdp.39015063521317	Assuming you're right, ” Hanley broke in, “ the question is: What are we going to do about it? mdp.39015063521317 Can you tell me if either of them went out this noon, and when? ” “ Not Old Jeremy.
mdp.39015063521317	Dickson sort of lost his head, did n't he? ” he ventured presently. mdp.39015063521317 Did n't have much to say, did he?".
mdp.39015063521317	Did you want Steve- Mr. Coles — about Mr. THURSDAY, APRIL 7TH 189 Morton, or what? ” She gasped the question. mdp.39015063521317 Did you want to talk to him?"
mdp.39015063521317	Do you have any idea where your father could have been at that time?
mdp.39015063521317	Do you know the Donegans? ” Fenner asked the checker. mdp.39015063521317 Do you mind telling us where you went from here this noon?"
mdp.39015063521317	Do you remember what time you left the bank? ” Fenner pursued the inquiry. mdp.39015063521317 Do you remember who did? ”"I'm not sure.
mdp.39015063521317	Have you got a phone not connected through the switchboard? ” Bryce asked when Hanley had finished. mdp.39015063521317 Have you met her?"
mdp.39015063521317	Have you really an idea this is an inside job?
mdp.39015063521317	Have you uncovered anything more in connec- tion with Morton's affairs?
mdp.39015063521317	Here, Bryce,he said; and to the girl: “ Whose clothing have you there? ” “ Why, the patient's, of course."
mdp.39015063521317	How do you account for that? ” Dickson hesitated, puzzled for a moment. mdp.39015063521317 How do you know? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	How do you suppose a fellow like Morton could've gone from Thursday noon to Monday morning without seeing a newspaper? mdp.39015063521317 How does it work? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	How long after your talk here ended did Mr. Morton get hurt? ” “ Not more than five minutes,Dickson answered positively.
mdp.39015063521317	How long have you been in the employ of Mr. Morton?
mdp.39015063521317	How long would that take?'' mdp.39015063521317 How were all of these men dressed?"
mdp.39015063521317	I'll be going along, then? ” he asked rather than stated, and at Fenner's permission he hurried out. mdp.39015063521317 I'm not sure if I would or not. ” “ Would you know the man? ” “ Maybe; but it was pretty dark then."
mdp.39015063521317	In what way?
mdp.39015063521317	Inside job? ” he asked rather than suggested, quite casually. mdp.39015063521317 Is anything wrong about- him?"
mdp.39015063521317	Is there anything else you'd like to ask me, sir? mdp.39015063521317 It looks as if the frame, or maybe the whole vault, has tilted back, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063521317	It's gotten quite a little worse over night, has n't it, Donegan? ” he asked. mdp.39015063521317 It's sort of rough on the boy, is n't it? ” he argued.
mdp.39015063521317	Looks like the answer, does n't it?
mdp.39015063521317	Many accidents at night? ” he asked. mdp.39015063521317 Now will you be good enough to go ahead from where you left off?
mdp.39015063521317	Now will you be good enough to tell us just why you decided to clear out when you did?
mdp.39015063521317	Oh, yeah? ” from Bryce. mdp.39015063521317 Oh; I say, how was the market today?"
mdp.39015063521317	Parcel check? mdp.39015063521317 Say, how big was this sack?"
mdp.39015063521317	Seen his man around? mdp.39015063521317 She come alone?"
mdp.39015063521317	Then why was Borden here this morning?.
mdp.39015063521317	Trouble? ” Fenner looked at the engineer for a long, searching moment. mdp.39015063521317 Well, how about something to eat?
mdp.39015063521317	Well, how would it be to keep right on with him as you're doing, and with Dickson and Borden you could simply switch your two pairs about?
mdp.39015063521317	Well, what is it?
mdp.39015063521317	Were you able to get anything out of her at the hospital the other evening?
mdp.39015063521317	What do you know of your father's health?
mdp.39015063521317	What is she waiting for?
mdp.39015063521317	What's the word on Mr. Morton, Doctor? ” “ Whom do you represent? ” the physician coun- 170 THE BANK VAULT MYSTERY uncertainly. mdp.39015063521317 What's the word on Mr. Morton, Doctor? ” “ Whom do you represent? ” the physician coun- 170 THE BANK VAULT MYSTERY uncertainly.
mdp.39015063521317	When you stopped for your friend's things on Thursday, did you go inside or did you wait in your car? ” Fenner asked thoughtfully. mdp.39015063521317 When you went to your home Thursday evening MONDAY, APRIL 4TH 103 for your things was the door locked?"
mdp.39015063521317	When? ” Fenner smothered his impatience. mdp.39015063521317 Where did it fall from?"
mdp.39015063521317	Where is she; do you know? ”She works somewhere near here in an office.
mdp.39015063521317	Where were you when Morton was hurt? ” Bryce asked. mdp.39015063521317 Where'd you say the girl worked?"
mdp.39015063521317	Who else was down here with you and Mr. Morton?
mdp.39015063521317	Why do you so quickly assume Morton will deny your story? ” Fenner asked quickly. mdp.39015063521317 Would you mind tell- ing me, ” he asked,"where the briefcase now is which you carried on Thursday?"
mdp.39015063521317	Yes? mdp.39015063521317 You know Coles?
mdp.39015063521317	You mean they agreed on a story? mdp.39015063521317 You say Borden went to Knoeckler's yesterday afternoon at your summons?
mdp.39015063521317	You say they had to shift the truck a little in order to set up this instrument? ” Fenner asked when Jeremy had finished. mdp.39015063521317 You were away, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063521317	You're sure?
mdp.39015063521317	Your men through in the cellar? ” “ We're all done, Chief.
mdp.39015063521317	'”"You think he's done in, too? ” Bryce gasped.
mdp.39015063521317	124 THE BANK VAULT MYSTERY"Did your father know of your friendship with Mr. Morton?"
mdp.39015063521317	240 THE BANK VAULT MYSTERY “ Where's Coles now? ”"I do n't know."
mdp.39015063521317	26 THE BANK VAULT MYSTERY “ Knoeckler's?
mdp.39015063521317	30 THE BANK VAULT MYSTERY"You're both absolutely sure there's no mistake? ” he urged.
mdp.39015063521317	: “ Well, how about it? ” Fenner urged kindly.
mdp.39015063521317	Always quite satisfactory?"
mdp.39015063521317	And have you given over your suspicions of Mr. Morton?"
mdp.39015063521317	And what more obscure, secure place than Knoeckler's little shop to leave it temporarily?
mdp.39015063521317	And what more plausible explanation of Morton's solic- itous assumption of the burden of the old man's affairs?
mdp.39015063521317	And you suspect it may not have been accidental? ” Hanley ventured shrewdly.
mdp.39015063521317	Any ideas before we adjourn for the day?"
mdp.39015063521317	Any- thing develop the last twenty- four hours?"
mdp.39015063521317	Anything more?
mdp.39015063521317	Anything on the others? ” “ Not a blessed thing!"
mdp.39015063521317	Anything out of order yet in our'little daily stories'? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	Are we pretty well cleaned up here? ” “ I think so."
mdp.39015063521317	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063521317	As things now point it would be easy to go off half- cocked. ”"As things now point? ” “ Of course.
mdp.39015063521317	Been here long?"
mdp.39015063521317	Borden said shortly:"That's all we discussed. ”"How do you suppose Morton got that tag?"
mdp.39015063521317	But if he was right in everything else and wrong about the tag, then where did the tag come from?
mdp.39015063521317	But was n't he at work?
mdp.39015063521317	But what object?
mdp.39015063521317	But what puzzles me is: what prompted him to try it just then?
mdp.39015063521317	But what the devil has this got to do with? ”"I'll tell you what, ” Fenner cut him off quickly.
mdp.39015063521317	But who —?
mdp.39015063521317	But why?
mdp.39015063521317	By the way, ” Fenner asked Jeremy, “ you say you had your lunch here?
mdp.39015063521317	Can you tell me who that's most likely to have been?"
mdp.39015063521317	Clear? ” The girl nodded.
mdp.39015063521317	Coles?"
mdp.39015063521317	Could Dickson or Borden answer to that description?
mdp.39015063521317	Could you show us the way down there?".
mdp.39015063521317	Could your father not have come in during the time you were upstairs packing, without your hearing him? ” “ No; he could n't have."
mdp.39015063521317	Did he seem much disturbed? ” Fenner asked, ignoring his col- league's comment.
mdp.39015063521317	Did he tell you any- thing else about himself or Morton?"
mdp.39015063521317	Did n't you know any of your father's friends?"
mdp.39015063521317	Did you call his house? ”"His name's not listed.
mdp.39015063521317	Did you know a lot of plaster fell down up on the fifth floor yes- terday?
mdp.39015063521317	Do n't you think that would be the best way to handle it? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	Do n't you?
mdp.39015063521317	Do you know whether he indicated that he contemplated a trip? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	Do you remember our inter- view?
mdp.39015063521317	Do you think I ca n't see I've been taken for a ride?
mdp.39015063521317	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015063521317	FRIDAY, APRIL 1st 75 When he had finished Fenner asked: “ Knoeckler lived in the rooms upstairs, did he?"
mdp.39015063521317	FRIDAY, APRIL 8TH 235 “ Where did you get it and when?"
mdp.39015063521317	Father only goes a few steps around the corner and sometimes leaves it unlocked. ” “ When you went out did you lock it? ” “ I do n't remember.
mdp.39015063521317	Funny, is n't it?
mdp.39015063521317	Had he con- templated going away?
mdp.39015063521317	Had she heard?
mdp.39015063521317	Hanley got to his feet, suggesting:"Shall we go downstairs now? ” Fenner rose but the elderly bank executive re- mained in his chair.
mdp.39015063521317	Have you gone over it again?"
mdp.39015063521317	He always pre- ferred to stay to himself. ” “ Do you know the newsdealer, Schmidt? ” Fen- ner next asked.
mdp.39015063521317	He likes to inspect all of the pier bottoms before they're concreted. ”"Was that what brought him down to the job today?"
mdp.39015063521317	He paused but continued: “ Would n't it help now to give something to the newspapers? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	He started to back out and then, somehow, the shooting commenced. ”"Your gun he had, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063521317	He'd be there at this hour, would n't he? ” He reached for his hat but did not get up.
mdp.39015063521317	He's still morning?"
mdp.39015063521317	How about him?"
mdp.39015063521317	How about some of those guards, or almost anyone on the inside? ” “ As a matter of fact, he ca n't be.
mdp.39015063521317	How are you?"
mdp.39015063521317	How could he?
mdp.39015063521317	How did you happen to notice it?"
mdp.39015063521317	How long have you known Borden?"
mdp.39015063521317	I ca n't say that I do; unless"“ Unless what?"
mdp.39015063521317	I do n't see how he pays his rent with the little busi- ness he gets, but somehow he seems to. ”"He does, huh? ” Morton led on.
mdp.39015063521317	I sup- pose now you've started a page for Randolph Mor- ton, too?"
mdp.39015063521317	I suppose you gathered from his talk yesterday afternoon that he is anxious?
mdp.39015063521317	I think he's at the bank job right now. ”"I think we'd better — and also that man you've got on him; Murphy, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063521317	If Mr. Dickson turns up, would you mind amusing him until I get back? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	If anything turns up I presume we can get in touch with you at your office?".
mdp.39015063521317	Impossible?
mdp.39015063521317	Is that all clear? ”"It's not at all clear, but I understand what you want me to do,"Elsa answered.
mdp.39015063521317	Is that in Fulton Street?"
mdp.39015063521317	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063521317	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063521317	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063521317	It is n't the same one, is it?"
mdp.39015063521317	Let me have that address again, will you?"
mdp.39015063521317	Let me have the time and the telephone number of the booth, will you? ” Bryce leafed through the notes and read off the phone number.
mdp.39015063521317	Let me know the results of your autopsy as soon as you can, will you?
mdp.39015063521317	Lowman, I believe? ” Fenner smiled.
mdp.39015063521317	Morton did n't by any chance leave with you, did he?"
mdp.39015063521317	Morton or I would have seen him. ” “ When you came down with your bag Mr. Mor- ton was standing by the desk, you told me this morn- • ing?"
mdp.39015063521317	Morton was too particular and it was slowing up the job. ” “ That all? ” “ That's a lot of boloney, Max,"Bryce cut in gruffly.
mdp.39015063521317	Motive, what?
mdp.39015063521317	Mr. Morton had never been to my home. ” “ Until last Thursday evening, you mean?"
mdp.39015063521317	Next he asked:"What's the word from the hospital this morning?".
mdp.39015063521317	Not well, though; not nearly so well as Father did. ”"He and your father were very friendly?"
mdp.39015063521317	Now about the check-?"
mdp.39015063521317	Now maybe you can tell us if there were any other visitors or customers in the afternoon or eve- ning — say, after I left? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	Now what about the other fellow?"
mdp.39015063521317	Now what's he look like? ” Hanley gave him a brief description of Morton.
mdp.39015063521317	Now with all the red tape and rigma- role they have in a place like that, how can he be so sure so quickly?
mdp.39015063521317	Of course you've heard?"
mdp.39015063521317	Oh, by the way, did you find Mr. Dickson?"
mdp.39015063521317	On the other hand, if Fenner was sure of Hanley, why had he not reported the inci- dent as would have been the natural thing to do?
mdp.39015063521317	One, assuming that Morton robbed the bank, why the devil would he still be carting that telltale tag around with him?
mdp.39015063521317	Only why had he not come directly to the police with his in- formation?
mdp.39015063521317	Precisely what the devil did he mean by that?
mdp.39015063521317	Quinn looked up from tying a shoelace, nodded curtly and asked:"How's Morton?
mdp.39015063521317	Rather, how did Morton acquire it?
mdp.39015063521317	Right away?
mdp.39015063521317	SV FRIDAY, APRIL 8TH 239 “ How did you leave Knoeckler?
mdp.39015063521317	Shall we get hold of him?
mdp.39015063521317	Shall we go inside? ” “ Might as well, ” Fenner agreed cheerily.
mdp.39015063521317	She asked casually:"When do you expect Mr. Morton back?"
mdp.39015063521317	She walked back and forth and sometimes came home at noon. ”"When did you last see Knoeckler alive?"
mdp.39015063521317	Still, could anything be considered unbelievable in this fantastic case?
mdp.39015063521317	Suppose I had spilled the beans?".
mdp.39015063521317	Take a look at them, will you?"
mdp.39015063521317	Take the boss up yet? ” “ Nope; Mistah Dickson ai n't been in yet. ”.
mdp.39015063521317	Tell me, did your father have any money over and above the returns from his business there?"
mdp.39015063521317	That was some blast, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063521317	The men walk around on the bracing a great deal. ” “ Where's the bull point now?"
mdp.39015063521317	The nurse hesitated, then said uncertainly:"Why, just about, I think. ” “ Will you please tell me? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	The probability, then, is that he did n't go out at all. ”"I suppose there's no question about Schmidt, eh?"
mdp.39015063521317	Then you really have n't left the vault at all since this happened?"
mdp.39015063521317	There'll be formalities, I pre- sume?"
mdp.39015063521317	These men are from the police. ”"Did you, yourself, remove these articles from the patient's suit? ” Fenner first asked her.
mdp.39015063521317	They knew about the old man?
mdp.39015063521317	This is terrible! ” The thought evidently set his faculties working again, for he asked quickly: “ Where is she?
mdp.39015063521317	Was anything new?
mdp.39015063521317	Was he the man they just took away?
mdp.39015063521317	We thought he might possibly be able to shed some light on it. ” “ Killed, eh?
mdp.39015063521317	Were they getting anywhere?
mdp.39015063521317	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063521317	What could he bring her except ultimate unhappiness?
mdp.39015063521317	What difference does it make?"
mdp.39015063521317	What do you mean? ” Bryce bit the words off savagely.
mdp.39015063521317	What do you mean? ”"Just what I say — parcel check.
mdp.39015063521317	What do you say?"
mdp.39015063521317	What do you think of that?"
mdp.39015063521317	What had he ever done for Maxwell Fenner?
mdp.39015063521317	What hap- pened between five and seven and who was the caller?
mdp.39015063521317	What happened to Morton, anyway?"
mdp.39015063521317	What has that got to do with your shortage?
mdp.39015063521317	What have you done with her? ”"She's all right,"Fenner assured him.
mdp.39015063521317	What more innocent than to give Elsa a package to keep for him?
mdp.39015063521317	What more proof could we want? ” The answer convinced Fenner not at all, but for the moment he refrained from reiterating his dis- agreement.
mdp.39015063521317	What next? ” Bryce turned back to his notes.
mdp.39015063521317	What sort of a fellow is this Knoeckler? ”"He does good work, if that's what you mean,"Borden replied.
mdp.39015063521317	What train did he take?
mdp.39015063521317	What was that for? ” Hanley inquired when the inspector had concluded.
mdp.39015063521317	What would become of her if Morton died — if he was already dead?
mdp.39015063521317	What'd you find out? ” The last was to Fenner.
mdp.39015063521317	What's happened to him?"
mdp.39015063521317	What's that?"
mdp.39015063521317	When do you want to tend to it?"
mdp.39015063521317	When he told me who it was I went back down into the cellar again. ” “ What did you say happened to him?"
mdp.39015063521317	When they had sat down Fenner looked at him curiously and said: “ You found nothing; right?
mdp.39015063521317	When?
mdp.39015063521317	Where can I call you this evening? ” Bryce gave him a telephone number and added a little enviously: “ You're a lucky devil!
mdp.39015063521317	Where did Morton's trail cross Borden's after that event?
mdp.39015063521317	Where to? ” Schmidt shrugged his shoulders.
mdp.39015063521317	Where's Coles? ” Quinn interrupted:"He left as soon as Morton was put in the ambulance.
mdp.39015063521317	Where?
mdp.39015063521317	Which reminds me- How about all of our clients?
mdp.39015063521317	Which would you say was nearer?"
mdp.39015063521317	Who could tell?
mdp.39015063521317	Who is this speaking? ” Hanley rattled off the questions impatiently.
mdp.39015063521317	Who was calling?
mdp.39015063521317	Why did n't you pinch him then?
mdp.39015063521317	Why do n't you see him?"
mdp.39015063521317	Why had not Morton come forward with his find?
mdp.39015063521317	Why take the chance?
mdp.39015063521317	Would you want him to get better then?"
mdp.39015063521317	Yeah; they did. ” “ Too well, maybe. ”"What do you mean?
mdp.39015063521317	You're going to stay here, are you? ” Burke nodded.
mdp.39015063521317	You're not in any particular hurry, are you? ” The last was to Hanley.
mdp.39015063521317	You're satisfied the girl was surprised this morning?"
mdp.39015063521317	been told, do you? ” Bryce asked.
mdp.39015063521317	crossed Morton and took the money or because he brained him in a fit of jealousy over the girl? ”"He's gone.
mdp.39015063521317	ton's missing assistant fit into that picture?
mdp.39015063521317	ton? ” “ Yes, ” Morton affirmed, curious.
mdp.39015063521317	“ About noon, I think. ” “ Where did you go from there?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Always have your lunch here? ” “ Almost always."
mdp.39015063521317	“ And Elsa Knoeckler? ” “ Yeah; sure."
mdp.39015063521317	“ And keep Bryce posted if there's any change in Morton's condition? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ And the little tag —? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Any change?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Anybody else? ”"Oh, yes; Elsa, his daughter.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Anybody see it happen? ” WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6TH 161 “ I guess not.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Anything new? ” he asked absently.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Anything new?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Anything strike you as odd about them? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Anything you want to ask Mr. Borden? ” Fenner inquired.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Are ye preety sure of the list ye sent in this marnin', lad? ”"Sure?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Are ye preety sure of the list ye sent in this marnin', lad? ”"Sure?
mdp.39015063521317	“ But he did n't? ”"No."
mdp.39015063521317	“ But this fellow, Morton, who seems to have disappeared?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ But today? ”"Nope; alone today."
mdp.39015063521317	“ But what the devil shall I tell him?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ But when could he?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Ca n't you recall exactly what he did say — his words? ” Bryce insisted.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Can you recall from which pocket each article was removed?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Can you recall what he said?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Can you show us the cracks and put the truck about where it was at that time?".
mdp.39015063521317	“ Can you step down a minute, sir?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Coles made threats against Mr. Morton?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Did Mr. Morton in that time ever have occasion to meet your father? ”"No."
mdp.39015063521317	“ Did he ever meet him in a business way? ”"No.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Did he see him?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Did they leave him when you did?".
mdp.39015063521317	“ Did you expect to find him there? ” Elsa hesitated.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Did you see anyone while you were waiting downstairs? ” Fenner asked.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Do you make anything of it?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Do you recall the position of the truck in the vault?""
mdp.39015063521317	“ Does the work keep going like this every night? ” “ Oh, yes,"Dickson volunteered the answer.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Drunk?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Find anything? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Given you the slip?
mdp.39015063521317	“ How did you know that? ” Fenner snapped.
mdp.39015063521317	“ How'd Knoeckler's funeral go off?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ I came in the store alone. ” “ Why do you suppose he decided to follow you in?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Is there any way of checking up on that?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Morton's and the girl's, you mean?
mdp.39015063521317	“ No; not a soul. ” “ Now, think carefully, did you leave the front door unlocked when you left? ”"I'm afraid I ca n't answer that.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Now then, what do you think of it?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Now, how about the other two? ” Without replying Hanley again picked up the telephone, this time calling the construction com- pany's offices.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Oh, not badly. ”"You've seen nothing of him today, of course? ” Fenner put in.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Pretty clean, ai n't they — for a man that's fallen forward from the top of those stairs?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Suppose I were to tell you I had an eye- witness who saw you drop that bull point on Randolph Morton's head?
mdp.39015063521317	“ That is, I suppose he is. ” “ When did you see him last?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ That truck in your way?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Their stories tallied pretty well, did n't they?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Then why did you go to Knoeckler's shop that afternoon?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ There'd be no use for one up there?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Thought you might be able to give us some help. ” “ Why, is n't he here?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Usually alone?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Was it fully loaded, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Wednesday afternoon about five or five- thirty, I think. ”"Do you know Coles well?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Well, old man, what's new? ” he greeted Bryce.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Well, then, what's the answer? ” Bryce put the question a shade impatiently.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Well, what's the next step?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Well? ” Fenner asked.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What are you going to do with them? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What did you do after you left the Grand Central Ter- minal?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What do you make of this case? ”"Ah, yes."
mdp.39015063521317	“ What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What do you think of it now? ” the inspector asked warily.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What is a bull point used for?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What is all this about, anyway?
mdp.39015063521317	“ What kind of a car was it?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What of it? ” “ Would n't the natural answer have been:'I do n't know him so very well ’? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What of it? ” “ Would n't the natural answer have been:'I do n't know him so very well ’? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What time did you get to your office?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What was Borden's errand here this morning? ” Lowman looked away and rubbed his hand over his mouth thoughtfully.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What was Mr. Morton doing when you came downstairs?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What were you and Mr. Morton arguing about on Wednesday afternoon a short time before he was hurt? ” Fenner asked after a moment's thought.
mdp.39015063521317	“ What's he want?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What's the latest on Morton?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What's the story?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What's up?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ What's your idea about the affair?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ When Morton wakes up? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ When did the girl come in? ”.
mdp.39015063521317	“ When did you last see Coles?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ When did you see him last?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Where are your Donegans now?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Where is Borden?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Where is Mr. Morton now?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Who was that other bird with him at first yes- terday?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Why not?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Why was n't the truck checked as soon as it came in, Jeremy? ” he asked the older man sharply.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Why, I- See here; who are you, anyway?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Why?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Will you come upstairs with me and have lunch? ” he suggested.
mdp.39015063521317	“ Would you know it again if you saw it?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Yeah; they moved it out a little to get into the corner behind it. ”"Was that after you and the doorman had stepped out to try the door?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ Yeah?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Yes?
mdp.39015063521317	“ Yesterday, just before noon — here in this office. ”"Is that when he made the threats?"
mdp.39015063521317	“ You do n't suppose there's any connection between the- er- accident and our affair here, do you? ” he asked when Bryce had finished.
mdp.39015063521317	“ You mean he was dead before Mor- ton and the girl got there? ”"Not necessarily, but he was a man of regular habits.
mdp.39015063521317	“ You mean it's not an accident?
mdp.39015063521317	“ You say he left word on Wednesday to have it serviced?
mdp.39015063521317	“ You will come over? ” It was more a suggestion than a ques- tion.
mdp.39015063521317	“ You're not by any chance accusing me of being connected with your shortage? ” he demanded indignantly.
mdp.39015063521317	“ You're sure? ” “ Yes; I remember them distinctly."
mdp.39015056990628	And I suppose you have been able to learn from them how your husband views the separation?
mdp.39015056990628	And assuming the crime to have been committed at that place, what would it prove?
mdp.39015056990628	And the articles that were recovered from the river, too, I suppose?
mdp.39015056990628	And the lease of the house?
mdp.39015056990628	And what about this old woman?
mdp.39015056990628	And what is the pro- posal?
mdp.39015056990628	And what might you be doing in Rochester, Strange- ways?
mdp.39015056990628	And what time does she usually come in?
mdp.39015056990628	And what,asked Thorndyke,"might be the analogy that you are suggesting?
mdp.39015056990628	Any news, Sergeant?
mdp.39015056990628	Any patients?
mdp.39015056990628	Are n't you taking rather a lot for granted?
mdp.39015056990628	Are you going to annex the frying- pan to produce in evidence?
mdp.39015056990628	Are you in any pain?
mdp.39015056990628	Are you sure?
mdp.39015056990628	But how do you account for one of her buttons being here?'' mdp.39015056990628 But how do you know where she'll come up?"
mdp.39015056990628	But look'ere, mister,he objected;"what's the police got to do with this'ere box?"
mdp.39015056990628	But what can you expect to do with a gang of corner- boys who've never done a job of real work in their lives?
mdp.39015056990628	But what do you suppose is Israel's idea?
mdp.39015056990628	But why was the body being carried up the lane? mdp.39015056990628 But you made a soft job for the grave- diggers, did n't you?
mdp.39015056990628	But,I asked,"what does the finding of these thiDgs suggest to you?"
mdp.39015056990628	But,he urged,"do n't you think you should try to forget it?
mdp.39015056990628	But,she said,"you are not the doctor who came to see me that night?"
mdp.39015056990628	By the way, how comes it that he does n't know her address? mdp.39015056990628 By the way, what do you suppose he has come down here for?
mdp.39015056990628	Can we get down to the shore from here?
mdp.39015056990628	Can you give us no suggestion as to the cause of death?
mdp.39015056990628	Can you recall the sergeant's exposition of the case?
mdp.39015056990628	Can you tell me,the sergeant asked patiently,"which vessel that is, and where she is at present?"
mdp.39015056990628	Did you discover who pawned it?
mdp.39015056990628	Did you find a bullet?
mdp.39015056990628	Did you look downstairs?
mdp.39015056990628	Do I understand that I am not required to continue the attendance?
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you know anyone in Rochester?
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think it possible that she might have fallen into the river accidentally?
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think we ought to let the police know?
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think,he asked, after a pause,"that it is rather queer that the man Frood should have gone off so soon?
mdp.39015056990628	Do they seem to you to offer any intelligible sugges- tions?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you happen to have seen a man answering that de- scription?'' mdp.39015056990628 Do you happen to know the nature of it?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you happen to know which particular vessel he belongs to?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know anything of Frood's movements about the time of the disappearance?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know how it came to be in the wall?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know if he belongs to any of the craft that trade here?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know what brought this attack on?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know when?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you mean a mental or a physical shock?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you mean that Cobbledick has found the missing key?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you mean that you do your own cooking and house- work?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you mean, Doc,he said in a low voice,"that you were in love with her?''
mdp.39015056990628	Do you often get cases of illness here?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you suppose the body would be unrecognizable now?
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think it quite impossible that the package could have been carried to that place and dropped there?'' mdp.39015056990628 Do you think the coroner will get through the case in one day?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think,she asked,"that the matron paid his fare out of her own pocket?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you usually give your patients a week- end holi- day?
mdp.39015056990628	Does he?
mdp.39015056990628	Does n't it?
mdp.39015056990628	Dr. Strangeways? mdp.39015056990628 Even if your landlady happens to be your patient?"
mdp.39015056990628	Had your husband been jealous of Mr. Fordyce pre- viously?
mdp.39015056990628	Has anything happened to occasion these forebodings?
mdp.39015056990628	Have you any reason for thinking so?
mdp.39015056990628	Have you any theory as to what has actually hap- pened?
mdp.39015056990628	Have you checked the inventory?
mdp.39015056990628	Have you made any other inquiries?
mdp.39015056990628	How can it be corked when it is just out of the cask?
mdp.39015056990628	How do you mean — in a sense?
mdp.39015056990628	How in the name of Fortune did you know that Bundy was Angelina?'' mdp.39015056990628 I say, governor, can you tell me where I can find a doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose we need hardly go on with the search any further?
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose you have heard nothing?
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose you have n't cut yourself off completely from all your friends?'' mdp.39015056990628 I suppose,"said Bundy,"you left it in the gate?"
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose,said I,"there is no likelihood of his hopping out at Strood to get a drink and losing the train?"
mdp.39015056990628	If he is in communication with your banker,said I,"he could, I suppose, get a letter forwarded to you?"
mdp.39015056990628	In what respects?
mdp.39015056990628	Is he subject to attacks of this kind?'' mdp.39015056990628 Is it a fact that lime is as corrosive as he made out?"
mdp.39015056990628	Is n't that the lane that we went down after leaving our friends on the day of the Great Perambulation?
mdp.39015056990628	Is n't there? mdp.39015056990628 Is the house your property?"
mdp.39015056990628	Is the likeness as good as in the silver prints?
mdp.39015056990628	Is there any need for me to be there?
mdp.39015056990628	Is there any reason for this presentiment?
mdp.39015056990628	Is there no other hospital?
mdp.39015056990628	Is this evidence admissible?
mdp.39015056990628	La Giaconda Dunkibus? mdp.39015056990628 Leaving the town, is he?"
mdp.39015056990628	Let ■ ine see,said I, falling instantly into the trap,"what was that reason?"
mdp.39015056990628	Might one inquire,I asked, as I put away my watch,"what kind of shock it is that you are suffering from?"
mdp.39015056990628	No special marks that you know of?
mdp.39015056990628	No wound, for instance?
mdp.39015056990628	No, I have n't, but I suppose nothing has been taken away?
mdp.39015056990628	Now, doctor, can you tell us how she was dressed?
mdp.39015056990628	Now, why do you hope that?
mdp.39015056990628	Now,she exclaimed,"is n't that an extraordinary thing?
mdp.39015056990628	Oh, I'll manage that,said she;"and about the medi- cine?"
mdp.39015056990628	Oh, it belongs to Mrs. Frood, does it?
mdp.39015056990628	Perhaps it would,she agreed doubtfully, and then, with a faint smile, she added:"I suppose you are wondering what on earth made me marry him?"
mdp.39015056990628	Please?
mdp.39015056990628	Rum way of building a wall, is n't it?
mdp.39015056990628	Serious?
mdp.39015056990628	Shall I ring the bell?
mdp.39015056990628	She's living in lodgings, then, I suppose?
mdp.39015056990628	Something, you mean, connected with her past life and the people she knew?
mdp.39015056990628	That mark?
mdp.39015056990628	The doper, you mean?
mdp.39015056990628	The key of the strong- room? mdp.39015056990628 The question is,"said the matron,"what is to be done with him?
mdp.39015056990628	Then you are really a sort of lawyer?
mdp.39015056990628	Then you really do n't know who pawned it?
mdp.39015056990628	There, Doctor,said he, complacently;"what do you say to that?"
mdp.39015056990628	They are quaint little things, are n't they?
mdp.39015056990628	This is a facer, Doctor, is n't it? mdp.39015056990628 This is a gruesome affair, John, is n't it?"
mdp.39015056990628	This is a horrid business, is n't it?
mdp.39015056990628	This man is on tramp, is he?
mdp.39015056990628	To see if the bag is there, too?
mdp.39015056990628	Tucker will be the man for him, wo n't he, Japp? mdp.39015056990628 Vos it tied on?"
mdp.39015056990628	Was that Japp who was inspecting us through that preposterous pair of barnacles?
mdp.39015056990628	Was that quite in order — legally, I mean?
mdp.39015056990628	Was the scarf found floating?
mdp.39015056990628	Was you looking for anything in partickler?
mdp.39015056990628	Well, John,said he,"coming out to play?"
mdp.39015056990628	Well, doctor,said the matron,"what do you think of him?"
mdp.39015056990628	Well, why could n't you say so at first?
mdp.39015056990628	Well,Cobbledick demanded impatiently,"have you seen him?"
mdp.39015056990628	Well,he said, in his brusque way,"how is she?"
mdp.39015056990628	Well,said Bundy, when we rejoined him,"what had Mr. Noah to say?
mdp.39015056990628	What 168 THE MYSTERY OP ANGELINA FROOD use do you suppose the shoe is to me if I do n't know where you found it? mdp.39015056990628 What Sam Weller would call a'priory attachment'?"
mdp.39015056990628	What about him?
mdp.39015056990628	What about it?
mdp.39015056990628	What about the body in the mortuary?
mdp.39015056990628	What are the experiments that you refer to?
mdp.39015056990628	What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?
mdp.39015056990628	What do you mean by proper precautions?
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say to that?
mdp.39015056990628	What do you suppose he wants me for?
mdp.39015056990628	What does Sergeant Cobbledick think of the new de- velopments?
mdp.39015056990628	What for?
mdp.39015056990628	What is in the wind, Doctor?
mdp.39015056990628	What is it?
mdp.39015056990628	What is the need of this secrecy?
mdp.39015056990628	What is to be done with the originals?
mdp.39015056990628	What key is it?
mdp.39015056990628	What kinds of violence would be unaccompanied by injury to the bones?
mdp.39015056990628	What shall 1 say in answer?
mdp.39015056990628	What time was it when you went out?
mdp.39015056990628	What used you to do to Mrs. Dunk,I asked,"to make her so furious?"
mdp.39015056990628	What was he looking miserable about?
mdp.39015056990628	What's your name, sonny, and where do you live?
mdp.39015056990628	When do you want to move in?
mdp.39015056990628	When does the demonstration take place?
mdp.39015056990628	When does the inquest open?
mdp.39015056990628	Where did he find it?
mdp.39015056990628	Where did these things come from?
mdp.39015056990628	Where did you find it, Israel?
mdp.39015056990628	Where did you find this?
mdp.39015056990628	Which doctor are you addressing?
mdp.39015056990628	Which is Black Boy- lane?
mdp.39015056990628	Which way did he go?
mdp.39015056990628	Whose else could they be?
mdp.39015056990628	Why are n't you at work?
mdp.39015056990628	Why do you say that?
mdp.39015056990628	Why fortunately?
mdp.39015056990628	Why is it odd?
mdp.39015056990628	Why the deuce could n't Cobbledick carry on by himself? mdp.39015056990628 Why,"I exclaimed,"what on earth have you been doing to your neck?"
mdp.39015056990628	Will you hand that to the coroner, please?
mdp.39015056990628	Will you just take a look at it?
mdp.39015056990628	Wine, hey?
mdp.39015056990628	With regard to the objects that were found with the skeleton; did you put them there?'' mdp.39015056990628 Would it really?"
mdp.39015056990628	Would it?
mdp.39015056990628	Would you think me very in- quisitive if I asked where you had seen him?
mdp.39015056990628	Yes, how did you?
mdp.39015056990628	Yes,replied Bundy, looking at him in astonishment,"but how did you know its name?"
mdp.39015056990628	You are coming back to lunch with us, Angelina?
mdp.39015056990628	You are not dependent on the practice, then?
mdp.39015056990628	You are not overlooking the circumstance that it was buried in a bed of quick- lime?
mdp.39015056990628	You are quite sure she has n't come back?
mdp.39015056990628	You are quite sure,I said, after an interval of si- lence,"that she did not return from Chatham?"
mdp.39015056990628	You could see there were no whiskers?
mdp.39015056990628	You do n't mean Mrs. Frood's husband?
mdp.39015056990628	You do n't mean that my husband has gone?
mdp.39015056990628	You have n't a photograph of the missing lady, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015056990628	You have seen him?
mdp.39015056990628	You have seen the bills, then?
mdp.39015056990628	You may be sure he would contest that application pretty strongly, and what case would she have in support of it? mdp.39015056990628 You mean the mystery of the disappearing lady?
mdp.39015056990628	You think she would be willing to stay?
mdp.39015056990628	You think,said I, as we halted opposite the station approach,"that we can get everything completed to- day?"
mdp.39015056990628	You've got Dr. Strangeways's agreement ready, have n't you, Bundy?
mdp.39015056990628	Your name is Jimmy, is n't it?
mdp.39015056990628	Your name is —?
mdp.39015056990628	''And did she know it?"
mdp.39015056990628	''Can you make any suggestion as to what has probably happened?"
mdp.39015056990628	''Should I be in the way if I walked there with you?''
mdp.39015056990628	''Then you think it probable that she was murdered and her body flung into the river?"
mdp.39015056990628	''What for?"
mdp.39015056990628	'The question is,"said I,"what is to be done?
mdp.39015056990628	,"Any news?"
mdp.39015056990628	166 THE MYSTERY OP ANGELINA FROOD"You could get the schooner held up at Sheerness, could n't you?"
mdp.39015056990628	214 THE MYSTERY OF ANGELINA FROOD"How do you suppose it got there?"
mdp.39015056990628	A creeper, hey?
mdp.39015056990628	And d'you mean to say as this'ere box was'ers?
mdp.39015056990628	And how are you feeling?
mdp.39015056990628	And if she did not, I should I make myself known?
mdp.39015056990628	And if the latter, was it to avert suicide or murder?
mdp.39015056990628	And that involved the further question: when should I make my next visit?
mdp.39015056990628	And what other explanation was possible?
mdp.39015056990628	And what, in the name of Fortune, can have become of the body?
mdp.39015056990628	And when could I have possession?"
mdp.39015056990628	And where was it being carried to?"
mdp.39015056990628	And, if she is, what was the cause and what were the cir- cumstances of her death?'
mdp.39015056990628	Are they both aware of the page?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you any better?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you com- ing out?
mdp.39015056990628	Are you coming in?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you coming to the inquest with us?
mdp.39015056990628	Are you coming with us, Bundy?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you going to have a look at them?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you going to pay the premium now?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you staying any longer?"
mdp.39015056990628	Are you?''
mdp.39015056990628	As the car slowed down I asked: THE DOPER'S WIFE 5"What is this lady's name?"
mdp.39015056990628	At length I asked, huskily:"Where did you get it?"
mdp.39015056990628	But are you an expert, too?''
mdp.39015056990628	But how long had he been in Rochester?
mdp.39015056990628	But how, in the name of For- tune, did he come here?"
mdp.39015056990628	But if he had been put in a room with a dozen moderately intelligent persons, and those persons had been asked,"Is this individual a man?
mdp.39015056990628	But in which direction?
mdp.39015056990628	But is he cer- tain that she is here?"
mdp.39015056990628	But now that you are home, what have you got to say for yourself?
mdp.39015056990628	But of what interest should it be to me?
mdp.39015056990628	But ought n't he to have been identified by somebody who knew him better?"
mdp.39015056990628	But perhaps you have forgotten the date on which the key disappeared?"
mdp.39015056990628	But that does n't sound very restful, does it?"
mdp.39015056990628	But the question is now, what are we to do?
mdp.39015056990628	But was it possible that those objects bore some signifi- cance that I had overlooked?
mdp.39015056990628	But what about the house?''
mdp.39015056990628	But what better mean3 can you suggest than publishing her portrait?"
mdp.39015056990628	But what in creation in- duced your City Fathers to allow that charming little build- ing to be turned into a picture theatre?''
mdp.39015056990628	But why are you going there?
mdp.39015056990628	But why should a noticeably short man wear almost abnormally low heels?
mdp.39015056990628	But wo n't you come in for a mo- ment?"
mdp.39015056990628	But would it be inarticulate to him?
mdp.39015056990628	But,"he continued, addressing the witness,"the con- ditions that you found would not exclude violence, I pre- sume?"
mdp.39015056990628	By a murderer to get at his victim?
mdp.39015056990628	By the way, do you know what she was going to Chatham for?"
mdp.39015056990628	By the way, what did you think of Mrs. Frood?
mdp.39015056990628	Can anyone identify this lady?"
mdp.39015056990628	Can you come up with me?"
mdp.39015056990628	Can you give me a description of her?''
mdp.39015056990628	Can you manage that?"
mdp.39015056990628	Could it be that she had seen her husband on that day when I had followed him?
mdp.39015056990628	Could these three persons be a party of"dopers,"and the tragedy the outcome of an orgy of drug- taking?
mdp.39015056990628	Could you bring your ideas of locality to a somewhat sharper focus?
mdp.39015056990628	Did he know all that the sergeant knew?
mdp.39015056990628	Did he perchance know more?
mdp.39015056990628	Did she know anybody at Chatham?"
mdp.39015056990628	Did that cloak conceal anything?
mdp.39015056990628	Did you happen to talk to him about this case at all?"
mdp.39015056990628	Did you know that that body had been buried in the wall?"
mdp.39015056990628	Did you make it clear to Mr. her husband?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think it would be well to question her a little more closely?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think so, Thorndyke?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think so, gentlemen?''
mdp.39015056990628	Do n't you think that his dis- appearance throws some light on the mystery?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you happen to know, Doctor, who employed the workmen?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you happen to know?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you know, John?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you see what it is?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think he is in any danger?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think it would be safe for him to stay here for the night if he had a little medicine of some kind?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think she can have run up against hubby in the town?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think we need stay?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think we ought to communicate with the police?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think you could ask him, too?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you think you really are?"
mdp.39015056990628	Do you understand that?"
mdp.39015056990628	Doctor, is it?"
mdp.39015056990628	For what purpose could he have provided him- self with that formidable weapon?
mdp.39015056990628	Frood?"
mdp.39015056990628	Gillow?"
mdp.39015056990628	Gillow?"
mdp.39015056990628	Gillow?"
mdp.39015056990628	Had n't you a beard then?"
mdp.39015056990628	Has the doctor told you about it?"
mdp.39015056990628	Have they found the body?"
mdp.39015056990628	Have you got anything special to do?"
mdp.39015056990628	Have you got something to show us?"
mdp.39015056990628	Have you had a summons?"
mdp.39015056990628	Have you had any experiences of bodies recovered from the water?"
mdp.39015056990628	Have you?"
mdp.39015056990628	He again reflected for a few moments and then asked:"Would you like to see the place where Israel found the pin?"
mdp.39015056990628	He took off his hat( he was in plain clothes as usual) 196 THE MYSTERY OF ANGELINA FROOD"Did he find the hat- pin that you spoke of?"
mdp.39015056990628	Here Angelina interrupted:"But what, about that brooch?
mdp.39015056990628	Here Mr. Pilley recovered himself and demanded ex- citedly:"Do we understand this gentleman to say that he is the deceased?''
mdp.39015056990628	How are the men getting on?"
mdp.39015056990628	How are the tides, Hooper?"
mdp.39015056990628	How do you like them?
mdp.39015056990628	How long will she be gone?"
mdp.39015056990628	How long would it have taken to pick out that loose stuff?''
mdp.39015056990628	How much did Thorndyke know?
mdp.39015056990628	How soon will you be ready?"
mdp.39015056990628	I am sorry to see you looking so ill. What is the matter?
mdp.39015056990628	I followed him up the alley, and as he halted I asked:"What have you come here for?"
mdp.39015056990628	I named the fee, and, when he had paid it, I said:"You understand that she will require very careful and tender treatment while she is so weak?"
mdp.39015056990628	I sup- pose you get some exercise?''
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose he wishes you to go back to him?''
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose it encircled the town completely at one time?''
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose you do n't happen to know the name — Frood?"
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose you have somewhere to go to in London?"
mdp.39015056990628	I suppose you two gentlemen would n't care to come and have a look at the place with me?"
mdp.39015056990628	I"Has she sustained any injuries?"
mdp.39015056990628	I'd better pop round with him and introduce him, had n't I?
mdp.39015056990628	Is it any good?"
mdp.39015056990628	Is n't he in?"
mdp.39015056990628	Is n't this your property?"
mdp.39015056990628	Is she dead?
mdp.39015056990628	Is there anyone present who can swear to the identity of this — er — person?
mdp.39015056990628	It is really certain that she did not come back last night?"
mdp.39015056990628	It was being taken up into the town; but where?
mdp.39015056990628	It's ages and ages and ages since you came to see us, is n't it, Martha?
mdp.39015056990628	JOHN THORNDYKE 71"Does Mrs. Gillow know the state of affairs?"
mdp.39015056990628	Japp?"
mdp.39015056990628	Let me see, now, when was it?"
mdp.39015056990628	MRS. GILLOW SOUNDS THE ALARM 95 And what did she mean by a presentiment?
mdp.39015056990628	Mr. Japp, for instance?"
mdp.39015056990628	Now when was it?
mdp.39015056990628	Now, what sort of a person was he 1 Could you describe him?"
mdp.39015056990628	Now, where have you been all this long time?
mdp.39015056990628	Of whom or of what was she afraid?
mdp.39015056990628	On this peaceful scene the sergeant burst sud- denly and hailing the rope- coiler demanded:"Have you seen a man run past here?"
mdp.39015056990628	Or by a rescuer?
mdp.39015056990628	Or had he been in the town again — this very day, perhaps?
mdp.39015056990628	Or was he only an oracle?"
mdp.39015056990628	Or was there some more sinister motive?
mdp.39015056990628	Or was there something yet more significant, something even more menacing?
mdp.39015056990628	Prood?"
mdp.39015056990628	Pumphrey?"
mdp.39015056990628	Quaint, is n't it?
mdp.39015056990628	Rather gruesome, is n't it?"
mdp.39015056990628	SERGEANT COBBLEDICK IS ENLIGHTENED 213"And what is your bad news?"
mdp.39015056990628	SERGEANT COBBLEDICK TAKES A HAND 121"Why do you think so?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall I give him the duplicate to lock up the place?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall I put them back where we found them?''
mdp.39015056990628	Shall I take the address, or are you driving me back?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall I tell Japp you will join the merry throng?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall I trot over and see what sort of mess they are making of things?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall we clear out now?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall we have it in a more direct form?"
mdp.39015056990628	Shall we see you next Friday evening?
mdp.39015056990628	Shall we start now?
mdp.39015056990628	She's a Rochester woman, is n't she?"
mdp.39015056990628	Strangeways?"
mdp.39015056990628	Supposing Mrs. Frood had been extremely like Bundy, could it possibly have entered Strangeways's head that they might be one and the same person?
mdp.39015056990628	THE DOPER'S WIFE 13"She has,"he replied; and then he asked:"You do n't think she is in any danger, I hope?"
mdp.39015056990628	That they were charged with some message that I had failed to decipher?
mdp.39015056990628	The door slammed, and the vehicle moved of?
mdp.39015056990628	The mariner dropped the rope, and looking up drowsily, repeated:"Have I seen a mahn?"
mdp.39015056990628	The next question is: was it being carried by one person or by more than one?
mdp.39015056990628	The question is, how on earth did it get here?"
mdp.39015056990628	The question was: when should I broach the subject?
mdp.39015056990628	The question ■ is, how did she get there?
mdp.39015056990628	The question,'Who is the murderer?'
mdp.39015056990628	Then he looked at me reflectively and asked:"Are you interested in archaeology, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	Then turning to me, he asked:"Where did you learn these good tid- ings, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	Then, by whom had it been broken in?
mdp.39015056990628	Then, with a sudden change of manner, he asked:"What about that wall job, Japp?
mdp.39015056990628	There is n't any doubt about it, is there, Doctor?''
mdp.39015056990628	There is nothing the matter, I hope?''
mdp.39015056990628	Thorndyke?"
mdp.39015056990628	To which of these alternatives did the circumstances point?
mdp.39015056990628	Towards the town or towards the river?
mdp.39015056990628	Was he bent merely on extorting money or on sharing her modest in- come?
mdp.39015056990628	Was n't Captain Bunsby an expert witness?
mdp.39015056990628	We turned towards the bridge, and he re- sumed:"The first question and the most important one is, which way was the body travelling?
mdp.39015056990628	Well, Israel, what's a- doing?
mdp.39015056990628	What coulcLthey do if they did find him?
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say to a stroll in the direction of Mount Ararat?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say to that?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say, Bundy?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say, Peter?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say, doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you say?''
mdp.39015056990628	What do you think of it, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	What do you think we had better do, sir?"
mdp.39015056990628	What does he want?
mdp.39015056990628	What if Angelina had been, as it were, snatched from the grave only to be placed in the dock on a charge of murder?
mdp.39015056990628	What is on the other side of these fences?"
mdp.39015056990628	What is the best time to find you at home?"
mdp.39015056990628	What is the matter?"
mdp.39015056990628	What is your objection, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	What the deuce can have happened to her?"
mdp.39015056990628	What was her future to be?
mdp.39015056990628	What was it that Thorndyke had in his mind?
mdp.39015056990628	What was it that had happened in that house?
mdp.39015056990628	What was it?
mdp.39015056990628	What was the bearing of that?
mdp.39015056990628	What was this man's purpose in pursuing her?
mdp.39015056990628	What we have to settle beyond the shadow of a doubt is the ques- tion,'What has become of Angelina Frood?
mdp.39015056990628	What we want to know is, who is the criminal?"
mdp.39015056990628	What's Japp up to?
mdp.39015056990628	What's up now?"
mdp.39015056990628	When we had transacted our business we strolled out together, and he asked:"What are you going to do now, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	Where on earth did you find it, Sergeant?''
mdp.39015056990628	Who is the photographer?"
mdp.39015056990628	Whom did you see?"
mdp.39015056990628	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015056990628	Why not?"
mdp.39015056990628	Why should a particular pair of human beings single one another out from the mass of their fellows as preferable to all others?
mdp.39015056990628	Why should anyone want to do her any harm?
mdp.39015056990628	Why to one particular man does one particular woman and no other become the exciting cause of the emotion of love?
mdp.39015056990628	Will Dr. Thorndyke be here to- morrow?''
mdp.39015056990628	Willard?"
mdp.39015056990628	Would she recognize me?
mdp.39015056990628	Would you like to come up and have a look, Doctor?
mdp.39015056990628	Would you think it very immoral if I were to ask you for something that would give me a few hours'rest?"
mdp.39015056990628	You affirm seriously that you are Angelina Frood?"
mdp.39015056990628	You agree to that, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	You are a nice little baggage, are n't you?"
mdp.39015056990628	You are not going to leave these photographs there, are you?"
mdp.39015056990628	You do n't happen, I suppose, to know what the bag contained?"
mdp.39015056990628	You said Tucker, did n't you, Japp?"
mdp.39015056990628	You saw her last night, did n't you?"
mdp.39015056990628	You see the points that these fresh finds raise?"
mdp.39015056990628	You understand that?''
mdp.39015056990628	You understand, Smith?
mdp.39015056990628	You'll try to forgive me, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015056990628	You'll want to taste a few samples, I presume, Doctor?"
mdp.39015056990628	Your friend, Bundy, has helped me to renew my youth; and who could have done one a greater service?''
mdp.39015056990628	he asked after a short pause,"and call up the spirit of the Dunklett from the vasty deep?
mdp.39015056990628	or is he a woman with short hair and dressed in man's clothing?"
mdp.39015056990628	says the skipper,'what's bones a- doin'in a cargo of fresh lime?'
mdp.39015038745884	A chief- inspector from New Scotland Yard, eh? mdp.39015038745884 Again?
mdp.39015038745884	All aboard?
mdp.39015038745884	All right? mdp.39015038745884 And the best?"
mdp.39015038745884	And the boxes?
mdp.39015038745884	And the wife?
mdp.39015038745884	And what about my launch?
mdp.39015038745884	And who the hell are you?
mdp.39015038745884	And you think they'll all come charging up to see the cause of the trouble? mdp.39015038745884 And you went in?"
mdp.39015038745884	And you, me dear?
mdp.39015038745884	And—thoughtfully—"embedded in my front door, I think you said?"
mdp.39015038745884	Another man, eh? mdp.39015038745884 Are you hurt, dear?
mdp.39015038745884	Are — are you all right, old man? mdp.39015038745884 Baker with you?"
mdp.39015038745884	Bought them, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	Bruce?
mdp.39015038745884	But if I do, well—an expressive shrug of his massive shoulders—"I've then suffered no loss, have I?"
mdp.39015038745884	But — but I"So it was you, was it? mdp.39015038745884 Can you guess?"
mdp.39015038745884	Carried him to the Daydream, presented him with the launch, and swum back, I suppose? mdp.39015038745884 Catch the men after these?"
mdp.39015038745884	Charlie — Younger — dead?
mdp.39015038745884	Could n't you see anything?
mdp.39015038745884	Could you wireless to Scotland Yard for me, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	Dead? mdp.39015038745884 Did he get much from you?"
mdp.39015038745884	Did n't you feel the door when you first entered?
mdp.39015038745884	Did that man pass you?
mdp.39015038745884	Do you think a couple of your crew could give me a hand with these boxes?
mdp.39015038745884	Dunno?
mdp.39015038745884	Eh, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	Fingerprints?
mdp.39015038745884	Footprints in the mud?
mdp.39015038745884	Got a gun, Higgy?
mdp.39015038745884	Got a gun, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	Got any spare clobber?
mdp.39015038745884	Got much petrol aboard?
mdp.39015038745884	Got your notebook?
mdp.39015038745884	Half an hour, eh? mdp.39015038745884 Happen to see a car ahead of us, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	Have you struck? mdp.39015038745884 Have you touched your switch, Chief?"
mdp.39015038745884	He ran aft, you say, Charlie? mdp.39015038745884 He told you he was Higgins, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Hefty? mdp.39015038745884 Hi, you — you're a Horton slop, are n't you?"
mdp.39015038745884	Hoping I'll make a slip, eh? mdp.39015038745884 How did you come aboard?"
mdp.39015038745884	How do I know? mdp.39015038745884 How is the Chief?"
mdp.39015038745884	How many times has the detective been asked home to dinner only for one of the guests to be killed? mdp.39015038745884 How the hell do I know?
mdp.39015038745884	How?
mdp.39015038745884	I mean — could they have got out? mdp.39015038745884 I thought you wanted neither help nor hindrance?"
mdp.39015038745884	I'll — what?
mdp.39015038745884	If you have nothing to hide, why fence?
mdp.39015038745884	In a borrowed boat?
mdp.39015038745884	In difficulties?
mdp.39015038745884	Is it likely?
mdp.39015038745884	Is there anywhere we can talk, sir? mdp.39015038745884 Its number?
mdp.39015038745884	Know that engaging gentleman?
mdp.39015038745884	Let who go? mdp.39015038745884 Make for the shore, will you, please?
mdp.39015038745884	Me kill Charlie Younger?
mdp.39015038745884	Meanin'me?
mdp.39015038745884	No chance of anyone getting away, I suppose?
mdp.39015038745884	Not our lucky day, is it? mdp.39015038745884 Not there?"— unbelievingly.
mdp.39015038745884	Now what?
mdp.39015038745884	Obtained under duress, do you think?
mdp.39015038745884	Oh, he does, does he? mdp.39015038745884 Oh, it was, was it?
mdp.39015038745884	Oh? mdp.39015038745884 Oh?"
mdp.39015038745884	Powerful sort of throw, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Rescued from the house at Sungate? mdp.39015038745884 Rest, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Rufus Reilly still there, eh? mdp.39015038745884 Run along and ask my wife to come here, will you, please, Brownall?
mdp.39015038745884	Seen anybody in the street?
mdp.39015038745884	Sh — shall I scream again?
mdp.39015038745884	Signalling to anyone? mdp.39015038745884 Sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	So you let'em go, Reilly?
mdp.39015038745884	Someone throw it?— unbelievingly.
mdp.39015038745884	Sorry an'all that, sir, but, coming as he did from the Yard itself, how could I help believing him?
mdp.39015038745884	Stole it, eh? mdp.39015038745884 Struck?
mdp.39015038745884	Sunk? mdp.39015038745884 Suppose they're armed?"
mdp.39015038745884	Sure?
mdp.39015038745884	Sure?
mdp.39015038745884	Sure?
mdp.39015038745884	Sure?
mdp.39015038745884	Sure?— doubtfully.
mdp.39015038745884	That one, sir? mdp.39015038745884 That you, Lofty?"
mdp.39015038745884	That you, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	The others likely to get away?
mdp.39015038745884	The tin boxes?
mdp.39015038745884	The — the what? mdp.39015038745884 Then it is not your car?"
mdp.39015038745884	Then it was a pretty good guess, was n't it? mdp.39015038745884 Then what about that dog?"
mdp.39015038745884	Then what the devil do you think you're doing?
mdp.39015038745884	Then where are they?
mdp.39015038745884	Then where's me cab?— promptly.
mdp.39015038745884	Then why is the globe broken?
mdp.39015038745884	Then you do n't know?
mdp.39015038745884	Then you intend to keep me here?
mdp.39015038745884	They did, sir? mdp.39015038745884 They paid for their passages, then?"
mdp.39015038745884	They've what? mdp.39015038745884 This is the Sungate road, is n't it?"
mdp.39015038745884	Thomson? mdp.39015038745884 To the police?
mdp.39015038745884	Want an escort?
mdp.39015038745884	Want to sweep the foreshore, sir? mdp.39015038745884 We brought four — didn't we, Lofty?"
mdp.39015038745884	We can wait all right, but in this fog"How about the fog? mdp.39015038745884 Well, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	Well? mdp.39015038745884 Well?"
mdp.39015038745884	Well?— apprehensively.
mdp.39015038745884	Well?— uncompromisingly.
mdp.39015038745884	Wh- what is it, dear?
mdp.39015038745884	What about a spot yourself, inspector? mdp.39015038745884 What about getting your prisoners ashore?"
mdp.39015038745884	What about it?
mdp.39015038745884	What about that chap you chased after?
mdp.39015038745884	What about the window, Higgy?
mdp.39015038745884	What about the — er"Exhibits, etc?
mdp.39015038745884	What clue? mdp.39015038745884 What could they do?
mdp.39015038745884	What d'yer mean? mdp.39015038745884 What do you mean, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	What do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	What do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	What do you mean?
mdp.39015038745884	What does that matter? mdp.39015038745884 What floor are we on, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	What for?
mdp.39015038745884	What happened? mdp.39015038745884 What have you been up to, dear?"
mdp.39015038745884	What is it?— irritably.
mdp.39015038745884	What of it, sir? mdp.39015038745884 What of it?
mdp.39015038745884	What of it? mdp.39015038745884 What of it?"
mdp.39015038745884	What sort o'man?— impatiently.
mdp.39015038745884	What time? mdp.39015038745884 What was he like?
mdp.39015038745884	What's behind, Chief?
mdp.39015038745884	What's the big idea?
mdp.39015038745884	What's the cove in front done, Higgy? mdp.39015038745884 What's the matter, dear?
mdp.39015038745884	What's the matter? mdp.39015038745884 What's the procedure, Higgy?
mdp.39015038745884	What's this about a murder?
mdp.39015038745884	What's up?
mdp.39015038745884	What's wrong with Wembley? mdp.39015038745884 What's wrong, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	What's your man think he's up to?
mdp.39015038745884	What, both of'em?
mdp.39015038745884	What, me?
mdp.39015038745884	What? mdp.39015038745884 What?"
mdp.39015038745884	What?
mdp.39015038745884	What?
mdp.39015038745884	What?
mdp.39015038745884	What?
mdp.39015038745884	What?
mdp.39015038745884	When?
mdp.39015038745884	Where is she? mdp.39015038745884 Where is this pub of Wily Went worth's?"
mdp.39015038745884	Where's the other two?
mdp.39015038745884	Where's this Wily hang out?
mdp.39015038745884	Where's your own? mdp.39015038745884 Where?"
mdp.39015038745884	Which one? mdp.39015038745884 Who are you, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	Who did it?
mdp.39015038745884	Who is he, then?
mdp.39015038745884	Who lives there?
mdp.39015038745884	Who showed him up to your room?
mdp.39015038745884	Who's he?
mdp.39015038745884	Who? mdp.39015038745884 Why did you stop her, then?"
mdp.39015038745884	Why not open it?
mdp.39015038745884	Why, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	Why? mdp.39015038745884 Why?"
mdp.39015038745884	Why?
mdp.39015038745884	Wodyer want?
mdp.39015038745884	Would you mind sending her across?
mdp.39015038745884	You all right, sir?
mdp.39015038745884	You did n't happen to recognize the man who answered the door there, I suppose? mdp.39015038745884 You have?
mdp.39015038745884	You mean — you mean you're going there alone?
mdp.39015038745884	You owe him something, do n't you, Bruce boy?
mdp.39015038745884	You saw the gun, I suppose? mdp.39015038745884 You think so, eh?"
mdp.39015038745884	You too?
mdp.39015038745884	You were in the dark, then?
mdp.39015038745884	You'll look after yourself, wo n't you?
mdp.39015038745884	...""Am I likely to forget?"
mdp.39015038745884	.?
mdp.39015038745884	104 INSPECTOR HIGGINS HURRIES Which way had they gone?
mdp.39015038745884	2.35 p m. 205"Got a searchlight?"
mdp.39015038745884	3- 55 a.m. 83"Got further to go, ai n't'e?
mdp.39015038745884	54 INSPECTOR HIGGINS HURRIES"And your — er — friend?"
mdp.39015038745884	68 INSPECTOR HIGGINS HURRIES"And since when has what you think mattered?"
mdp.39015038745884	7 p.m. 267 leaving their launch untended in midstream — a menace to navigation?"
mdp.39015038745884	74 INSPECTOR HIGGINS HURRIES Why on earth did they take such a soul- searing noise with such seeming tranquillity?
mdp.39015038745884	8.15 a.m. 141"And what of this dagger?"
mdp.39015038745884	A boat?
mdp.39015038745884	A duplicate key had been made, which duplicate was now in the inspector's possession — and if a duplicate, why not a triplicate or quadruplicate?
mdp.39015038745884	A long period of concentration ahead; then:"How d'you know they have n't turned off, Higgy?"
mdp.39015038745884	A trap?
mdp.39015038745884	All gone?"
mdp.39015038745884	All right?
mdp.39015038745884	All very nice and fine — but what the deuce were they after?
mdp.39015038745884	American accent?
mdp.39015038745884	And I'm so glad""Chief Dryan, eh?"
mdp.39015038745884	And Inspector Higgins?
mdp.39015038745884	And Muriel?
mdp.39015038745884	And could he?
mdp.39015038745884	And had they not made a second attempt on the in- spector's life?
mdp.39015038745884	And if he had, then surely someone would have been sent to stand guard 4- 45 a.m. 105 over the wreck of the car at the foot of the cliff?
mdp.39015038745884	And if it took two to lift, what hopes had he and Muriel to get away with it?
mdp.39015038745884	And might not Wily Wentworth have wished to know what the police were up to without having any ulterior motive?
mdp.39015038745884	And now that he was on board, what did he propose to do?
mdp.39015038745884	And now what?
mdp.39015038745884	And on the shore?
mdp.39015038745884	And supposing Higgins were to ask the River Police to leave the Daydream, would not Reilly immediately push off and leave Foxy- face to his fate?
mdp.39015038745884	And the photograph itself?
mdp.39015038745884	And the taxi?
mdp.39015038745884	And the watch itself?
mdp.39015038745884	And was it too much jumping to conclusions to think that Foxy- face and his satellites were within?
mdp.39015038745884	And was the inspector barking up the wrong tree in messing about this incongruously named Mermaid?
mdp.39015038745884	And what of Dryan?
mdp.39015038745884	And what of food?
mdp.39015038745884	And what of it?
mdp.39015038745884	And what of this chief?
mdp.39015038745884	And what then?
mdp.39015038745884	And what was the man doing on Inspector Higgins's doorstep at the time he was killed?
mdp.39015038745884	And what was the meaning of that?
mdp.39015038745884	And what would it avail him if he did?
mdp.39015038745884	And what would they find when they arrived?
mdp.39015038745884	And where could Higgins obtain help at this time of night?
mdp.39015038745884	And where do/ come in?"'
mdp.39015038745884	And where was Brewster now?
mdp.39015038745884	And where were those tin boxes likely to be?
mdp.39015038745884	And who had arrived?
mdp.39015038745884	And who was the caller?
mdp.39015038745884	And whose brute is that?"
mdp.39015038745884	And why not?"— tersely.
mdp.39015038745884	And why should anyone want to kill Higgins?
mdp.39015038745884	And why was he slain?
mdp.39015038745884	And would a man about to undertake an unauthorized inspection of another man's house be likely to advertise the fact?
mdp.39015038745884	And — do you know Horton?"
mdp.39015038745884	And, if not, was not he himself taking on a mite more than he could manage?
mdp.39015038745884	And, if so, what were they doing about it?
mdp.39015038745884	And... By the way, what about a police launch?
mdp.39015038745884	Any reports coming in?"
mdp.39015038745884	Any- how, what happened then?"
mdp.39015038745884	Are n't we investigating the car smash down the road?"
mdp.39015038745884	Are you on this?"
mdp.39015038745884	As someone knocking around your beat at Wembley?
mdp.39015038745884	Because he was at the back?
mdp.39015038745884	Been robbing a pawnshop?"
mdp.39015038745884	Between ten and eleven, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Brewster inquisitive?"
mdp.39015038745884	Brewster made too sure, did he?
mdp.39015038745884	But to stop it?
mdp.39015038745884	But what about us?
mdp.39015038745884	But what did it all mean?
mdp.39015038745884	But where?
mdp.39015038745884	But whether or not he knows anything about motor- launch engines, what's the worst can happen to him out there?"
mdp.39015038745884	But why?
mdp.39015038745884	But would not Baker's eyes be also directed towards the door- way and not away from it?
mdp.39015038745884	But — er — ahem! — the — er — red tape?"
mdp.39015038745884	Can do?"
mdp.39015038745884	Can you find it in the dark?"
mdp.39015038745884	Care to see it?"
mdp.39015038745884	Changed it, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Could you possibly run me up to Waterloo Bridge?
mdp.39015038745884	Dare he cross that illuminated wedge?
mdp.39015038745884	Dare he flash a light?
mdp.39015038745884	Dare he peep within?
mdp.39015038745884	Daydream, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Delayed us getting there in the first place, and""What was the destroyer doing — if anything?"
mdp.39015038745884	Did he exist outside Thomson's imagination?
mdp.39015038745884	Did they get anything?"
mdp.39015038745884	Did they get away with the metal boxes?"
mdp.39015038745884	Did you hear anything?"
mdp.39015038745884	Do you think we want to be all night?
mdp.39015038745884	Got anything to say?"
mdp.39015038745884	Got it?
mdp.39015038745884	Got it?
mdp.39015038745884	Had he lost his nerve?
mdp.39015038745884	Had it been a clumsy attempt to saddle the inspector himself with the crime?
mdp.39015038745884	Had she and Chief- Inspector Dryan yet made contact?
mdp.39015038745884	Had the man been robbed after death?
mdp.39015038745884	Had they already left the premises?
mdp.39015038745884	Had those tins contained dope?
mdp.39015038745884	Half an hour, you say?
mdp.39015038745884	Have a spot of your own booze?"
mdp.39015038745884	Have you ever seen one of his type — and a chucker- out of a pub at that — abroad at such an unearthly hour as this?"
mdp.39015038745884	Having a spot o'bother?"
mdp.39015038745884	Having one, where could one get the other?
mdp.39015038745884	He could make out the shape of the anchor itself — but what was that clinging to the stock of the anchor?
mdp.39015038745884	How did he know that it was n't a trap by the police?
mdp.39015038745884	How did you know that?"
mdp.39015038745884	How far am I justified in detaining him?"
mdp.39015038745884	How long will it take?"
mdp.39015038745884	How the deuce did one either steer or stop a ship?
mdp.39015038745884	How's the lumbago?"— maliciously.
mdp.39015038745884	I ask myself,'What is the little game?'"
mdp.39015038745884	I want all the dope regarding the Wembley murder""Murder?
mdp.39015038745884	I wonder if you'll support my application for extra pay for my journey to Sungate last night, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	If he re- called the River Police from the Daydream and Reilly bolted, what of it?
mdp.39015038745884	If so, why had he waited too long?
mdp.39015038745884	If so, why?
mdp.39015038745884	If that were so, why had this cove run away?
mdp.39015038745884	If we'd got away with it, what did it matter?
mdp.39015038745884	Is she all right?"
mdp.39015038745884	Is that it?"
mdp.39015038745884	It was a bit difficult, was n't it?
mdp.39015038745884	It was all very well for the boss to ask what of it, but what would the boss have done in a similar predicament?
mdp.39015038745884	It was your fare, was n't it?"
mdp.39015038745884	Looks as if someone were after your blood, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015038745884	May I give you a lift home?"
mdp.39015038745884	May I search your ship for the boxes?"
mdp.39015038745884	Might he not assume that Rufus Reilly had betrayed him?
mdp.39015038745884	Might he not take more care the second time?
mdp.39015038745884	Mr. Dryan told you you'd have a surprise when you got home, did n't he?
mdp.39015038745884	Necessarily?
mdp.39015038745884	No?
mdp.39015038745884	Not entirely satisfied with his inspection, Higgins turned and whispered to his Chief:"Well, sir, what do you make of it?"
mdp.39015038745884	Not quite long enough, eh, Hefty?
mdp.39015038745884	Nothing?
mdp.39015038745884	Now what?
mdp.39015038745884	Now what?
mdp.39015038745884	Or did they?
mdp.39015038745884	Or had the man been killed elsewhere and dumped here?
mdp.39015038745884	Or hiding in a cupboard?
mdp.39015038745884	Or were they in some cellar or outbuilding which the sound of the scream had failed to penetrate?
mdp.39015038745884	Perhaps Foxy- face and his pals had made off to another ship after leaving the abandoned dinghy ashore as a false clue?
mdp.39015038745884	Perhaps you could catch'em broadside on, Higgy, and""With my car, sir?"
mdp.39015038745884	Recognize'em from my descriptions?"
mdp.39015038745884	Right or left?
mdp.39015038745884	Rufus Reilly — the innocent I And now what was he up to?
mdp.39015038745884	Safe?
mdp.39015038745884	Scotland Yard?
mdp.39015038745884	So Foxy- face was called Stanmore, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	So Thomson had thrown that dagger) had he?
mdp.39015038745884	So that's what we call him, do we?"
mdp.39015038745884	So this was the blighter who had smashed Higgins in the face through the broken rear window, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Someone holding it?
mdp.39015038745884	Something as un- savoury — if that were possible! — as his previous venture?
mdp.39015038745884	Something was about to break — but what?
mdp.39015038745884	Sorry an'all that, but — how did you get into the ditch?"
mdp.39015038745884	Sure you do n't mind me leaving you here?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely Dryan by this time would have raised a squad and notified the locals of the smash of the car?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely Foxy- face and Baker had n't already completed their mysterious doings in the vaults below?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely old Higgins was there when it happened?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely someone must have heard the smash and reported the matter to the police?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely the lights had n't been turned off at the main?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely they could hear the row he was making?
mdp.39015038745884	Surely to goodness the car was n't returning?
mdp.39015038745884	Tall, thin, hatchet- faced cove, dressed in black and going bald?"
mdp.39015038745884	That guy who was killed — he was about your build, was n't he?"
mdp.39015038745884	That's different, is n't it?"
mdp.39015038745884	The local police?"
mdp.39015038745884	The man smiled blandly, and looked from Higgins to Dryan as though for enlightenment; then:"When?"
mdp.39015038745884	The only answer which would hold water was because they had n't heard it?
mdp.39015038745884	The other placed his revolver in a pocket of his jacket; then:"And what can I do for you, gentlemen?"
mdp.39015038745884	The others are bunking forrard, I take it?"
mdp.39015038745884	The smash was lucky, though, for one of the manager's assistants had got up to see the fun""Fun?
mdp.39015038745884	The subsequent burglary?
mdp.39015038745884	Then from where?
mdp.39015038745884	Then it was n't the chap who was killed?"
mdp.39015038745884	Then the boat was found with your waistcoat in it — it was yours, was n't it? — and he'phoned particulars to Scotland Yard.
mdp.39015038745884	Then this was the one which finished Charles Younger, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	Then what had happened?
mdp.39015038745884	Then what the deuce had he fallen over?
mdp.39015038745884	Then what?
mdp.39015038745884	Then whose was it?
mdp.39015038745884	Then why had Foxy- face left it?
mdp.39015038745884	Then why had n't he done anything in the matter, if he made so sure?
mdp.39015038745884	Then why had n't he shot Higgins a few moments back when he had been walking towards his house?
mdp.39015038745884	Then why make them a present of the knowledge by providing duplicates?
mdp.39015038745884	Then why steal it — if that was all it showed?
mdp.39015038745884	Then why the deuce did n't you bolt?"
mdp.39015038745884	Then, after a short pause:"And you waited, I suppose?"
mdp.39015038745884	They had stumbled on to something — but what?
mdp.39015038745884	Thomson?
mdp.39015038745884	Thomson?
mdp.39015038745884	To lay a false clue was quite according to the criminals'Hoyle, but why by means of the boxes?
mdp.39015038745884	Was Rufus Reilly's easy acquies- cence due to the fact that he expected the vanished four to return?
mdp.39015038745884	Was it not the man's businesssto know the comings and goings of the police generally?
mdp.39015038745884	Was it possible to climb up the pillar in an endeavour to reach the trap- door?
mdp.39015038745884	Was it worth while trying to find out?
mdp.39015038745884	Was not the obvious solution that he had intended open- ing that very front door?
mdp.39015038745884	Was the game worth the candle?
mdp.39015038745884	Was this a mild bluff?
mdp.39015038745884	Well, gentlemen?"
mdp.39015038745884	Were the entire inhabitants of this benighted place out to hoax the police?
mdp.39015038745884	Were the two attempts connected?
mdp.39015038745884	What could he do?
mdp.39015038745884	What d'y'mean?
mdp.39015038745884	What does he think he's up to?"
mdp.39015038745884	What had Foxy- face said?
mdp.39015038745884	What had Rufus Reilly said?
mdp.39015038745884	What had been the big idea?
mdp.39015038745884	What had presaged the rush?
mdp.39015038745884	What happened after you picked him up?
mdp.39015038745884	What is your name?"
mdp.39015038745884	What next?"
mdp.39015038745884	What of the Daydream?"
mdp.39015038745884	What of the house itself?
mdp.39015038745884	What on earth had he hoped to accomplish unaided and alone against this ship?
mdp.39015038745884	What on earth had the fellow thought there was of value in this house to steal?
mdp.39015038745884	What the deuce is the matter?"
mdp.39015038745884	What the deuce was it?
mdp.39015038745884	What was he like?"
mdp.39015038745884	What was it either Baker or Hefty had said at Horton police station?
mdp.39015038745884	What was it?
mdp.39015038745884	What was that man doing on the doorstep of the house at Wembley?
mdp.39015038745884	What was the man after?
mdp.39015038745884	What was up with them?
mdp.39015038745884	What weapon would the man have?
mdp.39015038745884	What were they up to?
mdp.39015038745884	What's the big idea?"
mdp.39015038745884	What's the big idea?"
mdp.39015038745884	What's the charge?"
mdp.39015038745884	What's the difference?"
mdp.39015038745884	What's up?
mdp.39015038745884	What's up?"
mdp.39015038745884	What's your name?"
mdp.39015038745884	Where did you take him?"
mdp.39015038745884	Where does one usually find them?"
mdp.39015038745884	Where from?
mdp.39015038745884	Where had Higgins seen him before?
mdp.39015038745884	Where had he heard it before?
mdp.39015038745884	Where had they gone — and what was the hurry?
mdp.39015038745884	Where the blazes was his police- whistle?
mdp.39015038745884	Where were they now?
mdp.39015038745884	Where, for instance, had an original been obtained from which the duplicate key had been made?
mdp.39015038745884	Where?"
mdp.39015038745884	Where?"
mdp.39015038745884	Which do you think was your knife- throwing expert?"
mdp.39015038745884	Who by?"
mdp.39015038745884	Who did it?"
mdp.39015038745884	Who had the only functioning electric torch of the party, eh?"
mdp.39015038745884	Who sent you?
mdp.39015038745884	Who the deuce was he chasing, anyway?
mdp.39015038745884	Whoever would have thought of looking on a bell- push or a coin for finger- prints?"
mdp.39015038745884	Whom did he expect at this time of night?
mdp.39015038745884	Why call on me?
mdp.39015038745884	Why did n't they have soft collars with a boiled shirt?
mdp.39015038745884	Why did n't you go back?"
mdp.39015038745884	Why had Foxy- face deemed it necessary to duplicate his boxes?
mdp.39015038745884	Why had he not turned to face the danger?
mdp.39015038745884	Why had n't he seen the likeness before?
mdp.39015038745884	Why had n't he thought of that before, whilst the fog was but a gentle mist?
mdp.39015038745884	Why had n't they heard it?
mdp.39015038745884	Why not, if the dog was so antipathetic to the man?
mdp.39015038745884	Why the deuce did n't they answer?
mdp.39015038745884	Why the deuce had n't Muriel left some indica- tion of her whereabouts?
mdp.39015038745884	Why the deuce had n't the occupants dashed about to find out the reason for the sudden hair- raising scream?
mdp.39015038745884	Why were women never sure of times?
mdp.39015038745884	Why, therefore, had the file been stolen?
mdp.39015038745884	Why?
mdp.39015038745884	Why?"
mdp.39015038745884	Why?"
mdp.39015038745884	Why?"
mdp.39015038745884	Will the insurance cover it?"
mdp.39015038745884	With what, I wondered?
mdp.39015038745884	Would he not be almost invisible outside to those within?
mdp.39015038745884	Would it not place both himself and his wife once more in jeopardy?
mdp.39015038745884	Would not Rufus Reilly by some means or other warn the fugitives of the danger?
mdp.39015038745884	Would not a little strategy force them into the open?
mdp.39015038745884	Would not he, too, be more than a little interested in this night caller of the Boss?
mdp.39015038745884	Would that be quicker?"
mdp.39015038745884	Would they not be merely advertising their presence, the chance of getting away with it being so small?
mdp.39015038745884	Yet what did time matter at the moment?
mdp.39015038745884	Yet why answer at all?
mdp.39015038745884	Yet why had he been killed?
mdp.39015038745884	Yet why had n't he seen Higgins when he had crossed the road and vaulted the gate?
mdp.39015038745884	Yet would he make a break whilst the River Police 2.35 p m. 203 remained aboard?
mdp.39015038745884	You do n't know him, I suppose?"
mdp.39015038745884	You seem to know this place, eh?
mdp.39015038745884	You will have your little joke, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015038745884	You wish to prefer a charge against them?"
mdp.39015038745884	You've let'em get away?"
mdp.39015038745884	Your Constable Thomson: O.K., I suppose?
mdp.39015038745884	an'who's with you?"
mdp.39015038745884	destroy it?
mdp.39015038745884	had he ever aroused sufficient hate which only his death could satiate?
mdp.39015038745884	why?
mdp.39015010806266	217 when I interrupted him at that sentence? mdp.39015010806266 A dark brown beard?"
mdp.39015010806266	A novel?
mdp.39015010806266	A solemn confidence, to be violated under no cir- cumstances?
mdp.39015010806266	About the secret?
mdp.39015010806266	Alicia, my darling, what is it?
mdp.39015010806266	Alicia, you've been crying?
mdp.39015010806266	Alone? mdp.39015010806266 Always as cheerful as she is now?"
mdp.39015010806266	And do you suppose/ care for it?
mdp.39015010806266	And if you receive no answer?
mdp.39015010806266	And is here still, I suppose?
mdp.39015010806266	And it was quite out?
mdp.39015010806266	And left again immediately?
mdp.39015010806266	And my lady, Sir, was she quite well?
mdp.39015010806266	And not since?
mdp.39015010806266	And she came to you —?
mdp.39015010806266	And she is very pretty?
mdp.39015010806266	And she was an orphan, I believe?
mdp.39015010806266	And sho came from London?
mdp.39015010806266	And what do you infer from all this?
mdp.39015010806266	And what have you been doing since you came home?
mdp.39015010806266	And you do not believe in his having sailed for Australia?
mdp.39015010806266	And you go back to Mount Stanning with them this afternoon?
mdp.39015010806266	And you succeeded?
mdp.39015010806266	And you tell me to stop?
mdp.39015010806266	And your motive is a worthy one?
mdp.39015010806266	Another way?
mdp.39015010806266	Are you glad to see me, Luke?
mdp.39015010806266	Are you going to bed, George?
mdp.39015010806266	Are you, Alicia?
mdp.39015010806266	As gay and light- hearted as ever, Sir?
mdp.39015010806266	At the Castle Inn?
mdp.39015010806266	Because what, my dear?
mdp.39015010806266	Bob,he said,"where are we?"
mdp.39015010806266	But do we accept him — yes or no? mdp.39015010806266 But have you never thought him eccentric?"
mdp.39015010806266	But he was eccentric?
mdp.39015010806266	But in all that time did you never write to your wife?
mdp.39015010806266	But is there any one else whom you love?
mdp.39015010806266	But is there no one you love in England? mdp.39015010806266 But she has not gone where she'll bo cruelly treated: where she'll be ill- used?"
mdp.39015010806266	But she laughed it off like, and says,'Lor, Luke, what could have put such fancies into your head?' mdp.39015010806266 But tell me,"said my lady, with an entire change of tone,"what could have induced you to come up to this dismal place?"
mdp.39015010806266	But what did he say, Lucy?
mdp.39015010806266	But what if the handwriting is a very uncommon one, presenting marked peculiarities by which it may be recognised among a hundred?
mdp.39015010806266	But why do you want him to leave?
mdp.39015010806266	But why not take care of him yourself, George?
mdp.39015010806266	But why not?
mdp.39015010806266	But why should you go to- night, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	But you are not seriously alarmed about him, are you?
mdp.39015010806266	But you can not tell me the^date of her de- parture?
mdp.39015010806266	But you can not tell me where she went on leaving here?
mdp.39015010806266	But you have communicated with her?
mdp.39015010806266	But you have not dined, perhaps? mdp.39015010806266 But you recollect your uncle, I suppose?"
mdp.39015010806266	But you were with him while he examined the locks, I suppose?
mdp.39015010806266	But you wo n't be too abrupt, dearl You wo n't be rude?
mdp.39015010806266	But you'll have a bit of dinner first, sir?
mdp.39015010806266	But, Lucy, tell me what, in Heaven's name, has put this idea into your head?
mdp.39015010806266	By itself, very little,replied Robert Audley;"but with the help of other evidence —""What evidence?"
mdp.39015010806266	Can I do any- thing for you, ma'am? mdp.39015010806266 Can I ever forget it?"
mdp.39015010806266	Can I send a telegram from hero to London?
mdp.39015010806266	Can you tell me how long Mr. Maldon and his daughter remained at Wildernsea after Mr. Talboys left them?
mdp.39015010806266	Can you tell me where Miss Graham came from when she entered your household?
mdp.39015010806266	Captain Maldon, sir?
mdp.39015010806266	Dare I defy him?
mdp.39015010806266	Dawson is a good fellow, is n't he?
mdp.39015010806266	Did I, my love?
mdp.39015010806266	Did Mr. Maldon hear from his daughter after she had left Wildernsea?
mdp.39015010806266	Did she speak of me?
mdp.39015010806266	Did she tell you?
mdp.39015010806266	Did you ever hear anything particular about her?
mdp.39015010806266	Did you ever hear that she was eccentric — what people caU'odd'?
mdp.39015010806266	Do I?
mdp.39015010806266	Do the birds annoy you, George? mdp.39015010806266 Do you know, Lady Audley, that Mr. Talboys, the young widower, has been here asking for Sir Michael and for you?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know, Phoehe, I have heard some people say you and I are alike?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you re- member them?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you remember a lieutenant in the navy, on half- pay I believe at that time, called Maldon?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you remember the gentleman that came down to Audley with me, Smithers?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you remember what Macbeth tells his physi- cian, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think I am a baby, that you may juggle with and deceive me — what is it? mdp.39015010806266 Do you wish the time shorter?"
mdp.39015010806266	Does my cigar annoy you, MissMorley?
mdp.39015010806266	Does your friend send any address?
mdp.39015010806266	Eh, what?
mdp.39015010806266	For a time?
mdp.39015010806266	For town?
mdp.39015010806266	George — George who?
mdp.39015010806266	George,said Robert, after watching him for some time,"are you frightened at the lightning?"
mdp.39015010806266	Go and put the bar up yourself, then, ca n't you?
mdp.39015010806266	Had I really now hotter hold my tongue to the last?
mdp.39015010806266	Had I?
mdp.39015010806266	Had we better ask at one of the hotels about a Mrs. Talboys, George?
mdp.39015010806266	Has Sir Michael Audley lately married?
mdp.39015010806266	Has she baffled me by some piece of womanly jugglery? mdp.39015010806266 Have I done right?"
mdp.39015010806266	Have yon taken Lady Audley back to the Court?
mdp.39015010806266	Have you any idea of where you will stay?
mdp.39015010806266	Have you any letters of your brother's, Miss Tal- boys?
mdp.39015010806266	Have you anything more to say to me, Robert?
mdp.39015010806266	Have you ever studied your cousin's character, Alicia?
mdp.39015010806266	He has not been very ill, has he?
mdp.39015010806266	He is here, then?
mdp.39015010806266	He was a stranger to you, my lady, was he not?
mdp.39015010806266	Heaven help us all,he muttered once;"is this paper, with which no attorney has had any hand, to be my first brief?"
mdp.39015010806266	Her portrait used to hang by the side of mine,he muttered;"I wonder what they have done with it?"
mdp.39015010806266	How can you ask a poor little woman about such horrid things?
mdp.39015010806266	How can you ask me such a question? mdp.39015010806266 How do you mean,'particular'?"
mdp.39015010806266	How if she had taken advantage of George's ab- sence to win a richer husband? mdp.39015010806266 How many years have you lived here?"
mdp.39015010806266	How should you know that I loved him? mdp.39015010806266 I ca n't tell you nothin'you do n't know?"
mdp.39015010806266	I do wish to send a message; will you manage it for me, Richards?
mdp.39015010806266	I know that I shall distress you — or you will laugh at me, and then —"Laugh at you? mdp.39015010806266 I must give you the last sovereign in my puree, but what of that?
mdp.39015010806266	I only sent for you to ask if anybody has been here; that is to say, if anybody has applied to you for the key of my rooms to- day — any lady?
mdp.39015010806266	I say again, what's a hundred pound?
mdp.39015010806266	I shall ask to see you for half an hour's conver- sation in the course of to- morrow, my lady? ” “ Whenever you please. mdp.39015010806266 I think I am going to faint, Phoebe,"she said;"where can I get some cold water?"
mdp.39015010806266	I wonder whether settlers in the back- woods of America feel as solitary and strange as I feel to- night?
mdp.39015010806266	I'd better show Mrs. Marks out, my lady, had n't I,asked the maid,"before I go to bed?"
mdp.39015010806266	If I do n't find him there, I shall go to South- ampton,he said"and if I do n't find him there —""What then?"
mdp.39015010806266	In my room, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	Influence me against you?
mdp.39015010806266	Is Sir Michael gone?
mdp.39015010806266	Is it interesting?
mdp.39015010806266	Is it me the flying female wants?
mdp.39015010806266	Is it the gardener?
mdp.39015010806266	Is n't that nice?
mdp.39015010806266	Is n't there a secret passage, or an old oak chest, or something of that kind, somewhere about the place, Alicia?
mdp.39015010806266	Is papa coming to dinner?
mdp.39015010806266	Is she at home to- night?
mdp.39015010806266	Is there any room in which I can talk to you alone?
mdp.39015010806266	Is this all you have to say to me, Robert?
mdp.39015010806266	It is not about your own — health — that you wish to consult me?
mdp.39015010806266	Lady? mdp.39015010806266 Lord, Luke,"she said,"how can'ee ask me such questions?
mdp.39015010806266	Lucy, Lucy! ” cried the baronet,what is the meaning of this?
mdp.39015010806266	Lucy, you heard me?
mdp.39015010806266	May I ask how much you know of that lady's history since her departure from your house?
mdp.39015010806266	May I ask who that person is?
mdp.39015010806266	Miss Talboys,he said,"what can I?
mdp.39015010806266	My dear Mr. Talboys, why do you think of these things? mdp.39015010806266 My dear girl, what are you thinking of?"
mdp.39015010806266	My lady has left tho Court, I hear, sir?
mdp.39015010806266	My lady, my lady,cried Phoebe, pointing to this lurid patch,"do you see?"
mdp.39015010806266	My lady,she cried,"you are not going out to- night?"
mdp.39015010806266	My uncle Robert?
mdp.39015010806266	Never to come back, sir?
mdp.39015010806266	Nor from his mother's family?
mdp.39015010806266	Not wasting your time, I hope?
mdp.39015010806266	Now, Phosbe,she said,"it is three miles from here to Mount Stanning, is n't it?"
mdp.39015010806266	Of what intention?
mdp.39015010806266	Oh, my dear love, how can I tell you?
mdp.39015010806266	Oh, what am I doing? mdp.39015010806266 One place was the same to him as another, anywhere out of England; what did he care where?"
mdp.39015010806266	Perhaps you'd like some lunch?
mdp.39015010806266	Quito forgot what?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I bring you some dinner here, sir, before you go upstairs?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I go down to Southampton,he thought,"and endeavour to discover the history of the woman who died at Ventnor?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I take off the label?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I tell him you are here?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I tell you by whose agency the destruction of the Castle Inn was brought about, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I tell you the story of my friend's dis- appearance as I read that story, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I tell you?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall we try the secret passage, George?
mdp.39015010806266	She's been very kind, has she?
mdp.39015010806266	SirMichael is better, I hope, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	So you have come back to us, truant?
mdp.39015010806266	Sure I never knocked, Misther Audley, but walked straight in with the key"Then who did knock? mdp.39015010806266 That I can not do until""Until when?"
mdp.39015010806266	The first husband disappeared — how and when? mdp.39015010806266 The person is a gentleman, is he not, my lady?"
mdp.39015010806266	The revelation made by the patient to the phy- sician is I believe as sacred as the confession of a penitent to his priest?
mdp.39015010806266	The tvhat, ma'am?
mdp.39015010806266	Then why, in goodness'name, did you make that row at the door, when you had a key with you all the time?
mdp.39015010806266	Then will you tell me at what date the young lady first came to you?
mdp.39015010806266	Then you can give me no clue to Miss Graham's previous history?
mdp.39015010806266	Then you did n't see any one at the door, or on the stairs?
mdp.39015010806266	Then you do n't particularly care to live at Mount Stanning?
mdp.39015010806266	To- day?
mdp.39015010806266	Trust me to do what?
mdp.39015010806266	Was ever anything so provoking?
mdp.39015010806266	Was he dressed in grey?
mdp.39015010806266	Was he eccentric — I mean to say, peculiar in his habits, like your cousin?
mdp.39015010806266	Was the gentleman any relative?
mdp.39015010806266	Well?
mdp.39015010806266	Were they poor?
mdp.39015010806266	What about?
mdp.39015010806266	What am I in the hands of this woman, who has my lost friend's face and the manner of Pallas Athene? mdp.39015010806266 What are we to do, George?"
mdp.39015010806266	What are you blubbering for, lass?
mdp.39015010806266	What are you going to do with the child?
mdp.39015010806266	What are you reading there, Alicia?
mdp.39015010806266	What can I do?
mdp.39015010806266	What can be the matter?
mdp.39015010806266	What can be the meaning of all this?
mdp.39015010806266	What can have happened in such a short time as that?
mdp.39015010806266	What can that man Marks want with me?
mdp.39015010806266	What circumstantial evidence?
mdp.39015010806266	What could have put such a horrible fancy into the unhappy boy's head? mdp.39015010806266 What did he say, Lucy?"
mdp.39015010806266	What did it matter?
mdp.39015010806266	What do you care what becomes of me, and whom I marry? mdp.39015010806266 What do you mean by all this?"
mdp.39015010806266	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015010806266	What do you mean, girl?
mdp.39015010806266	What do you mean?
mdp.39015010806266	What do you mean?
mdp.39015010806266	What do you think Major Melville told me when he called here yesterday, Alicia?
mdp.39015010806266	What does all this mean? mdp.39015010806266 What does he mean by these absurd goings- on?
mdp.39015010806266	What does it matter? mdp.39015010806266 What does it mean?"
mdp.39015010806266	What has happened to upset him so?
mdp.39015010806266	What has happened to upset him so?
mdp.39015010806266	What has kept you so long away from me?
mdp.39015010806266	What have I done to you, Robert Audloy,she cried passionately —"what have I done to you that you should hate mo so?"
mdp.39015010806266	What have I done?
mdp.39015010806266	What have the Essex papers to do with the death of Mrs. Tal- boys?
mdp.39015010806266	What have you been doing all this morning?
mdp.39015010806266	What if I answer no?
mdp.39015010806266	What in goodness'name is the matter with my cousin Robert?
mdp.39015010806266	What is it, Lucy?
mdp.39015010806266	What is it, Luke, deary?
mdp.39015010806266	What is one of the strongest diagnostics of madness — what is the first appalling sign of mental aber- ration? mdp.39015010806266 What is that to you, Mr. Robert Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	What is the matter with you?
mdp.39015010806266	What is the matter?
mdp.39015010806266	What is this place, Robert Audley?
mdp.39015010806266	What letter?
mdp.39015010806266	What on earth is the matter with this woman?
mdp.39015010806266	What pretty lady?
mdp.39015010806266	What reason have you to wish to know more?
mdp.39015010806266	What reason?
mdp.39015010806266	What shall I tell him,he thought;"shall I tell the truth — the horrible ghastly truth?
mdp.39015010806266	What should he be but a stranger?
mdp.39015010806266	What was she but a servant like me? mdp.39015010806266 What would become of this place if my uncle were to die?"
mdp.39015010806266	What's she up to there?
mdp.39015010806266	What's the gal a sayin', there?
mdp.39015010806266	What's the good of being rich, if one has no one to help spend one's money?
mdp.39015010806266	What's this?
mdp.39015010806266	What's too horrible?
mdp.39015010806266	What, has he come?
mdp.39015010806266	What, indeed, is a hundred pounds to a man possessed of the power which you hold, or rather which your wife holds, over the person in question?
mdp.39015010806266	What, that?
mdp.39015010806266	What?
mdp.39015010806266	When?
mdp.39015010806266	Where are you going to take me?
mdp.39015010806266	Where are you going?
mdp.39015010806266	Where's my gold watch? mdp.39015010806266 Which exists only in your mind?"
mdp.39015010806266	Who is it by?
mdp.39015010806266	Who is that handsome young man I caught tete- a- tete with you, Clara?
mdp.39015010806266	Who is that?
mdp.39015010806266	Who said it was the doctor's stuff I wanted?
mdp.39015010806266	Who sent you here?
mdp.39015010806266	Who would have been sorry for me? mdp.39015010806266 Who would have believed that Audley church could boast such an organ?"
mdp.39015010806266	Who would have thought that I could have grown so fond of the fellow,he muttered,"or feel so lonely without him?
mdp.39015010806266	Who's Billy?
mdp.39015010806266	Who's dead?
mdp.39015010806266	Why ca n't women dress according to their station? mdp.39015010806266 Why did he send you?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why did that unaccountable terror seize upon me?
mdp.39015010806266	Why do I go on with this?
mdp.39015010806266	Why do I go on with this?
mdp.39015010806266	Why do n't you take th'chile'way, er wash's face? mdp.39015010806266 Why do you bring me to this horrible place to frighten me out of my poor wits?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why does n't she run away? mdp.39015010806266 Why is he sorry, then?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why is he sorry, then?
mdp.39015010806266	Why not?
mdp.39015010806266	Why should he not be mad?
mdp.39015010806266	Why stupid?
mdp.39015010806266	Why was it that I saw some strange mystery in my friend's disappearance? mdp.39015010806266 Why, I never saw this before,"she said,"I wonder what there is in it?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why, in Heaven's name, what has the man done with himself?
mdp.39015010806266	Why, my dear Robert, should we be so very ceremonious towards each other? mdp.39015010806266 Why, what can have become of the man?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why, what could you find to say to Mr. Dawsou, or he to say to you?
mdp.39015010806266	Why, what was she in Mr. Dawson's house only three months ago?
mdp.39015010806266	Why?
mdp.39015010806266	Why?
mdp.39015010806266	Will he stop for fear of me? mdp.39015010806266 Will it annoy you if I make notes of your replies to my questions?"
mdp.39015010806266	Will you be so good as to let me have a little water and a piece of sponge?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you come into the lime- walk, Lady Aud- ley?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you come with me and help me put up the bar?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you let me see them?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you take a walk with mo in the quadrangle?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you tell me more about this Lady Audley, Fanny?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you walk with me inside the plantation?
mdp.39015010806266	Would it now?
mdp.39015010806266	Would other people l1ve in the old house, and sit under the low oak ceilings in the homely familiar rooms?
mdp.39015010806266	Would the gentleman send in his card? mdp.39015010806266 Would you object to a cigar, Mrs. Marks?
mdp.39015010806266	Yes, I tell you; why do you worry me about your candle? mdp.39015010806266 Yes, and then —?"
mdp.39015010806266	Yes, it is pretty, is it not? mdp.39015010806266 Yes; is there any door, leading through some of the other rooms, by which we can contrive to get into hers?"
mdp.39015010806266	Yes?
mdp.39015010806266	Yon knew nothing of his intention, then?
mdp.39015010806266	Yon will go with me?
mdp.39015010806266	You are aware that Mrs. Talboys left rather ab- ruptly?
mdp.39015010806266	You are nervous, my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	You are not going to leave England?
mdp.39015010806266	You are sure he was going to stay at the Castle to- night?
mdp.39015010806266	You are sure my cigar does not annoy you, Lady Audley?
mdp.39015010806266	You can wait, then, while I write the message?'
mdp.39015010806266	You do n't mind the pipe, do you George?
mdp.39015010806266	You do n't remember him, then?
mdp.39015010806266	You do not think him very ill?
mdp.39015010806266	You had no reference, then, from Miss Graham?
mdp.39015010806266	You have come straight from the Court, Sir?
mdp.39015010806266	You knew Lady Audley when she was Miss Lucy Graham, did you not?
mdp.39015010806266	You know Audley Court?
mdp.39015010806266	You know who I am, then?
mdp.39015010806266	You mean the Mr. Talboys who went to Austra- lia?
mdp.39015010806266	You surely are not in love with the awkward, ugly creature, are you, Phoebe?
mdp.39015010806266	You think he'll murder you, do you? mdp.39015010806266 You think she had secrets, then?"
mdp.39015010806266	You understand? mdp.39015010806266 You will come and dine with us to- morrow, and bring your interesting friend?"
mdp.39015010806266	You wo n't forget?
mdp.39015010806266	You would never let any one influence you against me, would you, my darling?
mdp.39015010806266	You'll let me go with you?
mdp.39015010806266	You'll take some hot brandy- and- water, George?
mdp.39015010806266	You're growing more like your father every day, Georgey; and you're growing quite a man, too,he said;"would you like to go to school?"
mdp.39015010806266	You're not connected with — with the tally busi- ness, are you, sir?
mdp.39015010806266	Your beautiful husband will sit up for you, I suppose, Phoebe?
mdp.39015010806266	£> you know that the day after to- morrow is the 1st of September? mdp.39015010806266 'Very well then,'he says,'look here, you know Audley Court?' mdp.39015010806266 'Whose lady's- maid?' mdp.39015010806266 .07 is George Talboys to me that you should worry me about him?
mdp.39015010806266	109 my Pompadour china, Leroy's and Benson's ormolu clocks, or my Gobelin tapestried chairs and ottomans?
mdp.39015010806266	113 passage you would fly at my throat and strangle me, would n't you?"
mdp.39015010806266	131 Had anything happened to the poor dear gentle- man?
mdp.39015010806266	151"You'll not try to deprive me of your father's affection?"
mdp.39015010806266	17"What am I in her hands?"
mdp.39015010806266	2 v. A Vagabond Heroine 1 v. Leah: A Woman of Fashion 2 v. A Blue- Stocking 1 v. Jet: Her Face or Her Fortune?
mdp.39015010806266	2* 20 LAD?
mdp.39015010806266	20?, ful against my lady, for he says if she'd have let him have a place at Brentwood or Chelmsford, this would n't have happened.
mdp.39015010806266	218 lad?
mdp.39015010806266	285 treachery, that I wish to see vengeance done upon the traitor?
mdp.39015010806266	295 likely his friend would be indifferent to his uneasiness?
mdp.39015010806266	2i;"Will you carry that to the nearest hotel for me?"
mdp.39015010806266	305 tat ion?
mdp.39015010806266	4 34 LAD?
mdp.39015010806266	68 of Helen Talboys so closely, that the most dexterous expert could perceive no distinction between the two?"
mdp.39015010806266	70 LAD?
mdp.39015010806266	81 “ But what about, my love? ” asked the baronet.
mdp.39015010806266	All the other servants have gone to bed, then, I suppose?"
mdp.39015010806266	Am I bound to dis- cover how and where he died?
mdp.39015010806266	Am I coming nearer to it now, slowly but surely?
mdp.39015010806266	Am I tied to a wheel, and must I go with its every revolution, let it take me where it will?
mdp.39015010806266	And could he withdraw now from the investigation in which he found himself involved?
mdp.39015010806266	And then he says,"Do you know Mr. Audley, as is nevy to Sir Michael?'
mdp.39015010806266	And yet why should I; now?"
mdp.39015010806266	Are there wolves where you live?"
mdp.39015010806266	Are there wolves where you live?"
mdp.39015010806266	Are they in good order, Phoebe?"
mdp.39015010806266	Are women merciful, or loving, or kind in proportion to their beauty and their grace?
mdp.39015010806266	Are you going to wait here for your friends, Miss Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Barkamb?"
mdp.39015010806266	But did either of them answer to the description of my friend?"
mdp.39015010806266	But had she yet discovered how dear she was to her brother's friend?
mdp.39015010806266	But then what could an ignorant heavy dragoon like me do with such a child?
mdp.39015010806266	But was it the footstep?
mdp.39015010806266	But what if she sends me away to fight the battle, and marries some hulking country squire while my back is turned?"
mdp.39015010806266	But where could I go?
mdp.39015010806266	But would she hear me any more because I love her truly and purely; because I would be constant, and honest, and faithful to her?
mdp.39015010806266	But, my darling, why were you so frightened by Robert's wild talk?
mdp.39015010806266	Could he stop now?
mdp.39015010806266	Could he, for any selfish motive of his own, tell her this terrible story?
mdp.39015010806266	Could it be that he was returning to his uncle's house without the woman who had reigned in it for nearly two years as queen and mistress?
mdp.39015010806266	D'yer want to ruin me?
mdp.39015010806266	D'yer want to'stroy me?
mdp.39015010806266	Dang me, Phoebe, I suppose when we've saved money enough between us to buy a bit of a farm, you'll be parlyvooing to the cows?"
mdp.39015010806266	Dawson?"
mdp.39015010806266	Dawson?"
mdp.39015010806266	Did Miss Graham leave any books or knick- knacks, or any kind of property what- ever, behind her, when she left your establishment?"
mdp.39015010806266	Did Robert say this, Lucy?"
mdp.39015010806266	Did he really say this, Lucy, or did you misunderstand him?"
mdp.39015010806266	Did she trace every sin of her life back to its true source?
mdp.39015010806266	Do n't you?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do they feel a heroic fervour of virtuous in- dignation, or do they suffer this dull anguish which gnaws my vitals as I talk to this helpless woman?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do wo marry the baronet, and is poor Cousin Bob to be best man at the wedding?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you dislike me?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you follow me?"'
mdp.39015010806266	Do you hear?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know how I escaped perishing in that destruction?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know the pretty lady?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know what I infer from this?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know what inductive evidence is, Miss Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know what it is to wrestle with a madwoman?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you know, Phoebe Marks, that my jewel- case has been half emptied to meet your claims?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you re- member?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you remember how long it is since she came to us at Crescent Villas?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you remember that, mother?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you remember the seventh of last September?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you suppose I would let you go alone?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think I shall fail to discover those missing links?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think papa will go to- night?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think the gifts which you have played against fortune are to hold you exempt from retribution?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think there is anything I would not do to lighten any sorrow of my father's?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think there is anything I would not suffer if my suffering could lighten his?"
mdp.39015010806266	Do you think, then, if murder is in him, you would be any safer as his wife?
mdp.39015010806266	Do you want to drive me mad?
mdp.39015010806266	Does Mrs. Vincent owe you money, too?"
mdp.39015010806266	Fooll"she exclaimed, suddenly turning upon Phoebe Marks in a transport of anger,"do you want to destroy me that you have left those two men together?"
mdp.39015010806266	For any con- sideration?
mdp.39015010806266	Gl bo baffled?
mdp.39015010806266	Good heavens, Lucy, can you imagine for a moment that I have any higher wish than to promote your happiness?
mdp.39015010806266	Ha, Alicia, is that you?"
mdp.39015010806266	Had any of the passengers entered their names within a short time of the vessel's sailing?
mdp.39015010806266	Has my beauty brought me to this?
mdp.39015010806266	Have I ever been really wicked, I wonder?"
mdp.39015010806266	Have I plotted and schemed to shield myself, and laid awake in the long deadly nights trembling to think of my dangers, for this?
mdp.39015010806266	Have you any proof to offer against this evidence?
mdp.39015010806266	Have you heard her maiden name?"
mdp.39015010806266	Have you seen him lately?"
mdp.39015010806266	He closed the door care- fully behind him before- he continued; —"Alicia, can I trust you?"
mdp.39015010806266	He has gone to sleep at Mount Stanning, then, I suppose?"
mdp.39015010806266	He is going away; but he must not go alone, must he, Alicia?"
mdp.39015010806266	He is not too ill to receive me, I suppose?"
mdp.39015010806266	He is some relation of Sir Michael Aud- ley, I suppose?"
mdp.39015010806266	He was thinking as he spoke to her —"How much does she guess?
mdp.39015010806266	How could I press her for a reference under these cir- cumstances?
mdp.39015010806266	How could he answer this direct question?
mdp.39015010806266	How could he ever look into her earnest eyes, and yet withhold the truth?
mdp.39015010806266	How could he smooth the way to the trouble that was to come?
mdp.39015010806266	How do I know that it was not some one with a mes- sage or a letter from George Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	How do you know that the fire is at Mount Stanning?
mdp.39015010806266	How if she had mar- ried again, and wished to throw my poor friend off the scent by this false announcement?"
mdp.39015010806266	How is it all to end?"
mdp.39015010806266	How long is that nephew of yours going to stay here?"
mdp.39015010806266	How many knots an hour was the vessel doing?
mdp.39015010806266	How much is this debt?"
mdp.39015010806266	How shall I satisfy you next?"
mdp.39015010806266	How should I dare to betray my love for him in that house, when I knew that even a sister's affection would be turned to his disadvantage?
mdp.39015010806266	How stupid of me, to be sure?"
mdp.39015010806266	How then could he dare to meet her with that secret held back from her?
mdp.39015010806266	How then?"
mdp.39015010806266	How unequal the fight must be between us, and how can I ever hope to conquer against the strength of her beauty and her wisdom?"
mdp.39015010806266	How was he to deal with this epicure of five years old, who rejected bread- and- milk and asked for veal cutlets?
mdp.39015010806266	How was he to deal with this epicure of five years old, who rejected bread- and- milk and asked for veal cutlets?
mdp.39015010806266	How was it?
mdp.39015010806266	How — how should he be dead?"
mdp.39015010806266	How — how should he he dead?"
mdp.39015010806266	I ai n't going to murder you, am I?"
mdp.39015010806266	I believe that I know by whom, but I will take no step to set my doubts at rest, or to confirm my fears?'
mdp.39015010806266	I had to work hard for my living, and in every hour of labour — and what labour is more wearisome than the dull slavery of a governess?
mdp.39015010806266	I may tell you where she lives, then, sir?
mdp.39015010806266	I suppose you are fascinated as well as everybody else?"
mdp.39015010806266	I — I want to know, please, what your business may be with her — because — because —""You can give me her address if you choose, ma'am?
mdp.39015010806266	If I could find that letter, it might bo dated, you know — might n't it, now?"
mdp.39015010806266	If you'd only been here a week earlier?"
mdp.39015010806266	In what manner do those reasons influence you?"
mdp.39015010806266	Is it a bargain, Lucy?"
mdp.39015010806266	Is it to be so, Alicia, or not?"
mdp.39015010806266	Is it wonderful that there have been quietists in the world ever since Christ's religion was first preached upon earth?
mdp.39015010806266	Is that all you have to say?"
mdp.39015010806266	Is the radius to grow narrower day by day, until it draws a dark circle round the home of those I love?
mdp.39015010806266	Is there no one you love looking out for your arrival?"
mdp.39015010806266	Is there no other way of getting into the room, Alicia?"
mdp.39015010806266	Is your hus- band such a precious bargain that you should be gro- velling there, lamenting and groaning for him?
mdp.39015010806266	It is what I said just now, is it not?"
mdp.39015010806266	It was there that you made some dis- covery, then?"
mdp.39015010806266	It was yours, was it not?"
mdp.39015010806266	Lady Audley, did you ever study the theory of circumstantial evidence?"
mdp.39015010806266	M.?"
mdp.39015010806266	Maldon?"
mdp.39015010806266	Maldon?"
mdp.39015010806266	Maldon?"
mdp.39015010806266	Maloney?"
mdp.39015010806266	Marks?"
mdp.39015010806266	May I rely upon that?"
mdp.39015010806266	Mother, give us down that tinbox on the shelf over against the chest of drawers, will you?"
mdp.39015010806266	Oh, George Talboys, George Talboys, am I ever to come any nearer to the secret of your fate?
mdp.39015010806266	Or can I sit down here to- night and say, I have done my duty to my missing friend; I have searched for him patiently, but I have searched in vain?
mdp.39015010806266	Please may I have a veal cutlet, with egg and bread- crumb, you know, and some lemon- juice, you know?"
mdp.39015010806266	Please may I have a veal cutlet, with egg and bread- crumb, you know, and some lemon- juice, you know?"
mdp.39015010806266	Plowson?"
mdp.39015010806266	Robert, what has happened?"
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I ever grow old, Phoebe?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I go to that miserable old man, and charge him with his share in the shameful trick which I believe to have been played upon my poor friend?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I grow old like this, I wonder,.with every minute of my life seeming like an hour?"
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I ring and tell them to bring you something a little more substantial than biscuits and transparent bread- and- butter?"
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I take them out of the room?"
mdp.39015010806266	Shall I work underground, bribing the paltry assistants in that foul conspiracy, until I find my way to the thrice guilty principal?
mdp.39015010806266	Shall we go up by the express, or shall we stop here and dine with my uncle to- night?"
mdp.39015010806266	Shall you or I find my brother's murderer?"
mdp.39015010806266	She had scarcely listened to these common- place details; why should she care for this low- born waiting woman's perils and troubles?
mdp.39015010806266	She told him that she stood alone in the world, did she not?
mdp.39015010806266	She was no age in particular, an?
mdp.39015010806266	Should I be justified in doing this?
mdp.39015010806266	Should you re- cognise Mrs. Talboys if you were to see her?"
mdp.39015010806266	Sir Harry Towers, of Towers Park, in the county of Herts, has been making you an offer of his hand, eh?"
mdp.39015010806266	Suppose we stroll about all day, take another turn with the rod and line, and go up to town by the train that leaves here at 6- 15 in the evening?"
mdp.39015010806266	Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	That's what you mean to say, is n't it?"
mdp.39015010806266	The child did not answer, but presently, fixing his eyes upon Robert's face, he said abruptly, —"Where's the pretty lady?"
mdp.39015010806266	The fogs of intoxication got the better of the light of sobriety for a moment, and the lieutenant answered vaguely:"Thought so?
mdp.39015010806266	The place takes its name from your family, I suppose?"
mdp.39015010806266	There were a gentleman came here to see your missus yesterday, warn't there; a tall young gentleman with a brown beard?'
mdp.39015010806266	They want freedom of opinion, variety of occupation, do they?
mdp.39015010806266	They're all alike — they can only drop their eyes and say,'Lor, Sir Harry, and why do you call that curly black dog a retriever?'
mdp.39015010806266	This is a house for mad people, this, is it not, Madame?"
mdp.39015010806266	Through all the dreary time of that probation, her pretty white hand beckoning me onwards to a happy future?
mdp.39015010806266	Tonks, did Miss Graham tell you whore she came from?"
mdp.39015010806266	Vincent?"
mdp.39015010806266	Vincent?"
mdp.39015010806266	Was Captain Maldon at home?
mdp.39015010806266	Was he still watching her or was he thinking?
mdp.39015010806266	Was he to be haunted for ever by the ghost of his unburied friend?
mdp.39015010806266	Was it I to whom life was such an easy merry- go- round?
mdp.39015010806266	Was it a monition or a monomania?
mdp.39015010806266	Was she long in tho surgeon's family?"
mdp.39015010806266	Was the man sure that it was at two Mr. Talboys called?
mdp.39015010806266	Was the wind favourable?
mdp.39015010806266	We wo n't let him run away again, will we, Alicia?"
mdp.39015010806266	Well, how's it to be, Alicia?
mdp.39015010806266	Were you talking of Sir Michael all the time?"
mdp.39015010806266	What am I to do, then, if I mean to keep my promise to Clara Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	What am I to do?
mdp.39015010806266	What am I to do?"
mdp.39015010806266	What bad he to do next?
mdp.39015010806266	What can I do to appease you?
mdp.39015010806266	What can be more ridiculous than this idea which you have taken into your head?
mdp.39015010806266	What can he the meaning of all this?"
mdp.39015010806266	What can there be for me henceforth but suffering?
mdp.39015010806266	What could I do?
mdp.39015010806266	What could I teach him except to smoke cigars, and idle about all day with his hands in his pockets?"
mdp.39015010806266	What could he say to him?
mdp.39015010806266	What could there be so extraordinary in the simple fact of a gentleman being late for his dinner?
mdp.39015010806266	What do men know of the mysterious beverage?
mdp.39015010806266	What do we know of the mysteries that may hang about the houses we enter?
mdp.39015010806266	What do you say to that, Georgey?"
mdp.39015010806266	What do you say to that, Georgey?"
mdp.39015010806266	What does it matter?
mdp.39015010806266	What does your cousin mean to do for a living when you are married?"
mdp.39015010806266	What harm had I ever done you that you should make yourself my persecutor, and dog my steps, and watch my looks, and play the spy upon me?
mdp.39015010806266	What has become of the first husband?"
mdp.39015010806266	What has happened to cause the change?"
mdp.39015010806266	What if I am wrong after all?
mdp.39015010806266	What if that should have been George's fate?
mdp.39015010806266	What if the young man's greedy old father- in- law had tried to separate them on account of the monetary trust lodged in Robert Audley's hands?
mdp.39015010806266	What if this Helen Talboys ran away from her home upon one day, and I entered my employer's house upon the next, what does that prove?"
mdp.39015010806266	What if this chain of evidence which I have constructed link by link, is woven out of my own folly?
mdp.39015010806266	What if this edifice of horror and suspicion is a mere collection of crotchets — the nervous fancies of a hypo- chondriacal bachelor?
mdp.39015010806266	What if this woman's hellish power of dissimulation should be stronger than the truth, and crush him?
mdp.39015010806266	What if you receive no answer to your advertisements?"
mdp.39015010806266	What is Robert Audley to you, that you behave like a maniac, because you think he is in danger?
mdp.39015010806266	What is the cold to me?"
mdp.39015010806266	What is to become of me when I grow old?"
mdp.39015010806266	What man?"
mdp.39015010806266	What of that?
mdp.39015010806266	What on earth made you go out upon such a night?"
mdp.39015010806266	What refreshment could he possibly provide for a boy who called it afternoon at three o'clock?
mdp.39015010806266	What refreshment could he possibly provide for a boy who called it afternoon at three o'clock?
mdp.39015010806266	What shall I do if I find him ill; very ill; dying perhaps: dying upon her breast?
mdp.39015010806266	What shall I do?"
mdp.39015010806266	What should I say to him?
mdp.39015010806266	What should happen to him?
mdp.39015010806266	What should you say to a public- house for you and me, by and by, my girl?
mdp.39015010806266	What sort of person is this young Mr. Talboys?
mdp.39015010806266	What time, sir?"
mdp.39015010806266	What time, sir?"
mdp.39015010806266	What warfare could such a feeble creature wage against her fate?
mdp.39015010806266	What was to be done?
mdp.39015010806266	What was to be done?
mdp.39015010806266	What was to be done?
mdp.39015010806266	What was to be- come of him?
mdp.39015010806266	What were this woman's troubles to me?
mdp.39015010806266	What would I not do to bring him back?
mdp.39015010806266	What would I not do?"
mdp.39015010806266	What would be- come of me?
mdp.39015010806266	What would she say to me?
mdp.39015010806266	What's fifty pound, or what's a hundred pound —?"
mdp.39015010806266	What's she a sayin'?"
mdp.39015010806266	Where are you taking me?"
mdp.39015010806266	Where had you been living prior to your appearance at Crescent Villas?
mdp.39015010806266	Where have you been, and what have you been doing?"
mdp.39015010806266	Who can forget that almost terrible picture of Dr. Samuel Johnson?
mdp.39015010806266	Who cares whether I am well or ill?"
mdp.39015010806266	Who could have ever expected that a dragoon would drink six- penny ale, smoke horrid bird's- eye tobacco, and let his wife wear a shabby bonnet?"
mdp.39015010806266	Who has not been, or is not to be, mad in some lonely hour of life?
mdp.39015010806266	Who is quite safe from the trembling of the balance?
mdp.39015010806266	Who is to say which shall be the one judicious selection out of the nine hundred and ninety- nine mistakes?
mdp.39015010806266	Who shall decide from the first aspect of the slimy creature, which is to be the one eel out of the colossal bag of snakes?
mdp.39015010806266	Who was it that walked off?
mdp.39015010806266	Who's dead?"
mdp.39015010806266	Whoever heard of a woman taking life as it ought to be taken?
mdp.39015010806266	Why ca n't she use her duplicate key, instead of dragging a man out of bed when he's half dead with fatigue?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why could you not let me alone?
mdp.39015010806266	Why did he harp upon this forbidden subject?
mdp.39015010806266	Why did he insist upon recalling the date of George's mur- der?
mdp.39015010806266	Why did n't I think of it before?
mdp.39015010806266	Why did she come to London?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why did you come out in such weather, Lady Audley?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why do n't I love her?
mdp.39015010806266	Why do you come and say these things to me?
mdp.39015010806266	Why do you come and try to put such fancies into my head, when I am going home to my darling wife?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why does n't she run away while there is still time?
mdp.39015010806266	Why does n't she run away?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why does n't she take it, and run away?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why have you tormented me so?
mdp.39015010806266	Why is it that although I know her to be pretty, and pure, and good, and truthful, I do n't love her?
mdp.39015010806266	Why should I study his character?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why, how was that?"
mdp.39015010806266	Why, what busi- ness can he possibly have in that out- of- the- way.place?
mdp.39015010806266	Will anything stop him — but death?"
mdp.39015010806266	Will he go to the pit- hole?"
mdp.39015010806266	Will he stop for fear of me when the thought of what his uncle must suffer has not stopped him?
mdp.39015010806266	Will he stop now that he has once gone so far?
mdp.39015010806266	Will my hair ever drop off as the leaves are falling from those trees, and leave mo wan and bare like them?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you come there with me?"
mdp.39015010806266	Will you do so?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you go into the high road and tell the man to drive on a little way?
mdp.39015010806266	Will you love me?"
mdp.39015010806266	Will you see Lady Audley alone?"
mdp.39015010806266	Would Clara Talboys have been sorry?
mdp.39015010806266	Would Mr. Audley go to his uncle's room?
mdp.39015010806266	Would Mr. Audley walk in?
mdp.39015010806266	Would it be in ten days, in eleven, in twelve, in thirteen?
mdp.39015010806266	Would it not be cruel to refuse to go, to delay an hour unnecessarily?
mdp.39015010806266	Would the gentlemen walk in and sit down a bit?
mdp.39015010806266	Would you like to see the box?"
mdp.39015010806266	Yea or no?"
mdp.39015010806266	Yes, I'm getting old upon the right side; and why — why should it be so?"
mdp.39015010806266	You find the beard makes a great difference, do you not, sir?"
mdp.39015010806266	You go to London by the mail?"
mdp.39015010806266	You have n't deceived me, have you?"
mdp.39015010806266	You in London already?"
mdp.39015010806266	You know the secret which is the key to my life?"
mdp.39015010806266	You re- member giving me the money for the brewer's bill, my lady?"
mdp.39015010806266	You remember the lady whose name I wrote upon my card?"
mdp.39015010806266	You say a blacksmith has been here?"
mdp.39015010806266	You understand me?"
mdp.39015010806266	You will do this, will you not?"
mdp.39015010806266	You will write to me from time to time, will you not?
mdp.39015010806266	You wish to follow her life backwards from the present hour to the year fifty- three?"
mdp.39015010806266	You wo n't try to injure me?"
mdp.39015010806266	You'll go to bed very early, wo n't you, and take great care of yourself?"
mdp.39015010806266	You'll go with me, George?"
mdp.39015010806266	You've done a good stroke of work to- day, I'll wager — made a lucky hit, and you're what you call'standing treat,'eh?"
mdp.39015010806266	and did she discover that poisoned fountain in her own exaggerated estimate of the value of a pretty face?
mdp.39015010806266	and of what was he thinking?
mdp.39015010806266	and what are they?
mdp.39015010806266	as that wretched creature whose shadow falls upon the path beside me?"
mdp.39015010806266	come out into the chill sunshine of the March after- noon to wander up and down that monotonous pathway with the step- daughter she hated?
mdp.39015010806266	could you think so badly of me as to think that I would not try to be a comfort to my father in his grief?"
mdp.39015010806266	cried Alicia,"you surely wo n't go away without seeing papa?"
mdp.39015010806266	cried George,"do n't you know me?"
mdp.39015010806266	cried Luke Marks, with a horse laugh;"who wants you to be genteel, I wonder?
mdp.39015010806266	cried the girl, with a look of terror;"how can you speak about such things?"
mdp.39015010806266	dare I?
mdp.39015010806266	der?
mdp.39015010806266	especially when I saw that she was a perfect lady?
mdp.39015010806266	exclaimed Alicia;"how should I in- jure you?"
mdp.39015010806266	exclaimed George Talboys,"is this the way you welcome me?
mdp.39015010806266	exclaimed Mrs. Plowson,"what has the poor old gentleman been taking on about?
mdp.39015010806266	exclaimed Mrs. Plowson,"what has the poor old gentleman been taking on about?
mdp.39015010806266	exclaimed the baronet;"is Robert here?"
mdp.39015010806266	exclaimed the stranger, reproachfully,"you do n't mean to say that you've forgotten George Talboys?"
mdp.39015010806266	he asked;"and how did it happen?"
mdp.39015010806266	he asked;"did she speak of me at — at — the last?"
mdp.39015010806266	he asked;"were they pinched for money while she was ill?"
mdp.39015010806266	he cried, with a joyous peal of laughter;"was n't I working for my darling?
mdp.39015010806266	he said,"what is the meaning of this?
mdp.39015010806266	he said;"how can I ever cease to hate myself for having brought this grief upon you?"
mdp.39015010806266	he thought,"can these two women be of the same clay?
mdp.39015010806266	he thought;"can I ever forget his blank white face as he sat opposite to me at the coffee- house, with the Times newspaper in his hand?
mdp.39015010806266	how can I ever forgive myself?"
mdp.39015010806266	how can I rob my blessed angel?'
mdp.39015010806266	how much does she suspect?"
mdp.39015010806266	la that a sufficient answer, Alicia?"
mdp.39015010806266	lives might be sacrificed?
mdp.39015010806266	my dear?"
mdp.39015010806266	my lady?
mdp.39015010806266	or being, as I think, on the road to that discovery, shall I do a wrong to the memory of George Talboys by turning back or stopping still?
mdp.39015010806266	or,'Oh, Sir Harry, and did the poor mare really sprain her pastern shoulder- blade?'
mdp.39015010806266	said Sir Michael, suddenly;"have you told Alicia?"
mdp.39015010806266	said my lady;"and what reason could any one have for announcing the death of Mrs. Tal- boys, if Mrs. Talboys had been alive?"
mdp.39015010806266	she exclaimed;"papa grieved?
mdp.39015010806266	she muttered,"Dare I?
mdp.39015010806266	suspicions, which may grow upon me till 1 become a monomaniac?
mdp.39015010806266	wet streaming down your coat- sleeves?
mdp.39015010806266	what am I doing?"
mdp.39015010806266	what have I done?"
mdp.39015010806266	what may not have happened?"
mdp.39015010806266	why did not the Argus go down with every soul on board her before I came to see this day?"
mdp.39015010806266	you knew that he was coming to South- ampton?"
mdp.39015010806266	your answer?"
mdp.39015010806266	— or could he think that if he told her she would suffer her murdered brother to lie unavenged and forgotten in his unhallowed grave?
mdp.39015010806266	—'how soften the cruel blow of the great grief that was preparing for that noble and trusting heart?
mdp.39015010806266	“ He wanted to talk to me, he said, and I went, and he said such horrible things that"“ What horrible things, Lucy?"
mdp.39015010806266	“ I must go in, my lady, ” she said, “ Wo n't you come? ”"Presently, ” answered Lady Audley.
mdp.39015010806266	“ Lucy, what do you mean? ” “ I told you that Mr. Audley insisted upon my going into the lime- walk, dear, ” said my lady.
mdp.39015010806266	“ Tell me what it is, my dear? ” he whispered, ten- derly.
mdp.39015010806266	“ What could Robert have to say to you? ” My lady did not answer this question.
mdp.39015010806266	“ Would you believe it, Sir Michael? ” he said.
mdp.39015010806266	“ You always thought that I should take him away? ” asked Robert, scrutinising the half- drunken countenance with a searching glance.
mdp.39015034809080	A man does n't have to be a father to be liked, does he? mdp.39015034809080 A. Mr. Charvan himself?
mdp.39015034809080	Afraid?
mdp.39015034809080	After they parked the car in front of your store, did you notice it again during the evening?
mdp.39015034809080	After this,thought I,"the deluge?"
mdp.39015034809080	Alibis?
mdp.39015034809080	All right, Mr. Van Garter?
mdp.39015034809080	Alone up there most of the time, too, I suppose?
mdp.39015034809080	And Helene? mdp.39015034809080 And I — what?"
mdp.39015034809080	And Mr. Keasy remained convinced — or should I say unconvinced?
mdp.39015034809080	And is all this serious?
mdp.39015034809080	And it was you, was n't it,said he, addressing an aghast Mr. Gold- berger,"who was bellyaching around about getting things smeared up?
mdp.39015034809080	And then,Mr. Shautz embroidered inquiry with innocence,"take the rod away with'em where it could n't be found high nor low?"
mdp.39015034809080	And your bill?
mdp.39015034809080	And your meaning?
mdp.39015034809080	Any objections to our moving the body now?
mdp.39015034809080	Any the rest of you folks come home in a taxi tonight?
mdp.39015034809080	As — yet?
mdp.39015034809080	Besides that,she went on,"if he killed himself how on earth did the pistol get away out there in the yard?
mdp.39015034809080	Blue note?
mdp.39015034809080	But do n't you see,said Vicky, sweetly patient,"that is exactly what they are all trying to make me do?
mdp.39015034809080	But the fingerprints would have been Mr. Charvan's, would they not? mdp.39015034809080 But the food, Sarah?
mdp.39015034809080	But what about Dot? mdp.39015034809080 But what it is, Helene?
mdp.39015034809080	But why?
mdp.39015034809080	Came straight up home after that, did n't you?
mdp.39015034809080	Could Oswald come and sit here, too, for a little while?
mdp.39015034809080	Could n't,Mr. Goldberger coaxed,"kind of guess about it, even?"
mdp.39015034809080	Could you prove that she was not in love with him?
mdp.39015034809080	Could you,Oswald leaned forward eagerly,"give me his birthplace and dates?"
mdp.39015034809080	Dare we? mdp.39015034809080 Dear heaven, what in the world made you think of — well, just that one thing to 12 THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY do?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did Tony leave a note saying that he killed himself because of me? mdp.39015034809080 Did it?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did n't get a chance to step out for a cold drink or anything?
mdp.39015034809080	Did n't happen to notice whether the page was torn out of your book, did you, this evening?
mdp.39015034809080	Did n't say where they was going, did they?
mdp.39015034809080	Did n't seem troubled, depressed — nothing of the kind?
mdp.39015034809080	Do n't you remember? mdp.39015034809080 Do you by any chance think that I shot Tony?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do you insist that I call an officer to arrest Mrs. Parnham now, at once?
mdp.39015034809080	Do you know positively, with no margin of doubt, that Sarah Parnham is guilty?
mdp.39015034809080	Do you remember that evening, when Sarah washed the dishes, she did n't unfasten her cuffs and roll them back? mdp.39015034809080 Do you think I murdered him?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do you want the door closed?
mdp.39015034809080	Does he often keep you waiting on corners?
mdp.39015034809080	Does n't it seem to you that Vicky's gone rather long on her errand? mdp.39015034809080 Does she eat up here?"
mdp.39015034809080	Eat later, ugh? mdp.39015034809080 Far as you could see he acted just the same as ever tonight?"
mdp.39015034809080	From the chart?
mdp.39015034809080	Front door unlocked all this time?
mdp.39015034809080	Gee, how on earth would I know?
mdp.39015034809080	Go alone, did you?
mdp.39015034809080	Good friend of yours?
mdp.39015034809080	Got kind of discouraged, I suppose, account of finding so much oil on the roads over that way?
mdp.39015034809080	Had what?
mdp.39015034809080	Hang what?
mdp.39015034809080	Has everything been all right with Vicky to- day?
mdp.39015034809080	Have they made any other dis- coveries downstairs?
mdp.39015034809080	Have you been talking to the de- tectives?
mdp.39015034809080	Have you taken photographs?
mdp.39015034809080	He's kind of cute, do n't you think? mdp.39015034809080 Heads or tails?"
mdp.39015034809080	Honest, Dottie? mdp.39015034809080 How could someone from the outside unlock the back door from the inside?
mdp.39015034809080	How did you know? mdp.39015034809080 How do they go?
mdp.39015034809080	How do you know it was n't?
mdp.39015034809080	How do you know she did n't, for sure?
mdp.39015034809080	How long, in your opinion, since death occurred?
mdp.39015034809080	How'd he happen to show it to you?
mdp.39015034809080	I believe,she said,"from your inability to stay in the dining room this evening that, at last, we are allies; are we not?"
mdp.39015034809080	I believe,she went on,"that I'll go to my room now, if you will excuse me?"
mdp.39015034809080	I mean — did you believe that there was a murderer among us?
mdp.39015034809080	I should think,she further chatted,"that the first thing you'd want to consider would be who killed poor Mr. Charvan and the — what is that word?
mdp.39015034809080	I was just thinking, Captain,said she,"is n't it customary, you know what I mean, to find out who was the last person to see the victim alive?"
mdp.39015034809080	I was just wondering,he said, speaking to Dot,"why you was waiting to bawl him out this evening in parti- cular?"
mdp.39015034809080	I was wondering, though; aside from throwing the pistol out of the win- dow, you made no other changes in the room, did you?
mdp.39015034809080	I was wondering,said she,"why you opened the front door, when you knew the custom was to go through the kitchen into the garage?"
mdp.39015034809080	If some person were coming up to Meriwether to commit a crime, why should he wait about to use Helene's car?
mdp.39015034809080	In other words,she said, at last,"you'd be unwilling to state, right now, that you, yourself, did not commit the murder?"
mdp.39015034809080	Is it an axiom that district attorneys are always wrong?
mdp.39015034809080	Is the girl dangerous — something of the sort — in these moods?
mdp.39015034809080	Is there a possibility of suicide?
mdp.39015034809080	Is this the district attorney's outline of the case?
mdp.39015034809080	It does seem incredible, does n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	Jeze, Van Garter — you do n't mean? mdp.39015034809080 Knew him pretty well, did you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Laugh?
mdp.39015034809080	Liked him pretty well, did you?
mdp.39015034809080	May I ask what difference it made?
mdp.39015034809080	Me?
mdp.39015034809080	Men friends, up here?
mdp.39015034809080	Mr. Keasy found it"Yeah? mdp.39015034809080 Mrs. Bailey,"Paul asked,"do you think Dot should talk that way this morning?
mdp.39015034809080	Must we — should we?
mdp.39015034809080	Need we call it that? mdp.39015034809080 No- body could of come in here while we was right here, could they?"
mdp.39015034809080	No? mdp.39015034809080 Notice anything peculiar about actions of deceased this evening?"
mdp.39015034809080	Now what,said Vicky to me, as if I had known for a long time and had refused point- blank to tell,"did that crazy thing mean by all that?"
mdp.39015034809080	Oh, that? mdp.39015034809080 Oh, yeah?"
mdp.39015034809080	Positive that your mother told this story to no one but yourself?'
mdp.39015034809080	Pretty hot up there tonight, was n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	Promise me that you wo n't try to fight it, no matter what she may demand? mdp.39015034809080 Reason?"
mdp.39015034809080	Say, what's your nationality?
mdp.39015034809080	Seems so, does n't it? mdp.39015034809080 Shall we begin with her room, then?"
mdp.39015034809080	She smokes'em herself, do n't she?
mdp.39015034809080	Sleep? mdp.39015034809080 So that's it, is it?
mdp.39015034809080	So then in your room you got sort of afraid, did n't you? mdp.39015034809080 Stepped out, ugh?"
mdp.39015034809080	Subnormal intelligence, do n't you think?
mdp.39015034809080	Swacked?
mdp.39015034809080	That these were merely manifestations of my funny little ways for tragic occasions?
mdp.39015034809080	That's exactly what I mean, by George I What's the matter with you, Fleep? mdp.39015034809080 The modern mode of the amorous?"
mdp.39015034809080	Then you know the identity of the murderer merely by means of your woman's intuition?
mdp.39015034809080	They didn't,—he offered me a cigarette which I refused—"seem to get hold, quite; did they?"
mdp.39015034809080	Things?
mdp.39015034809080	This seems to prove suicide, does n't it? mdp.39015034809080 Those who are under suspicion?"
mdp.39015034809080	Too?
mdp.39015034809080	Uncle,she called,"as soon as you are disengaged may I speak to you, please, in my room?"
mdp.39015034809080	Vick, what are you talking about? mdp.39015034809080 Vicky,"I questioned,"what have I ever done that justifies your pleading with me, like this, for such a promise?
mdp.39015034809080	Was it cooler over there?
mdp.39015034809080	Was n't what?
mdp.39015034809080	Was you at the radio station all evening?
mdp.39015034809080	We were speaking of the murder — or suicide — were we not?
mdp.39015034809080	Weepon?
mdp.39015034809080	Well, but,said Vicky,"who ever said drugstores were n't dignified?
mdp.39015034809080	Well, if you know, what do you say two murders for, then?
mdp.39015034809080	Well, it had been latched before I opened it, and"Why did you throw the pistol out into the yard?
mdp.39015034809080	Well, that was just exactly what I was going to do, was n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	Well, then, between ten o'clock and a quarter to twelve you was just kind of riding around, here and there, and all alone? mdp.39015034809080 Well, this is a fine time,"she retorted,"to drag out those moldy old stories, is n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	Well, you know it now, do n't you?
mdp.39015034809080	Well,he finally answered Vicky's question, though he spoke to me,"what could I think?"
mdp.39015034809080	Well,urged Lieutenant Wirt, nervously,"what about it?
mdp.39015034809080	What about it, Vicky?
mdp.39015034809080	What about the latch on the screen door?
mdp.39015034809080	What difference,said Nicky to Vicky,"could money make, when I love you like I do?"
mdp.39015034809080	What if I did?
mdp.39015034809080	What made you call it a murder? mdp.39015034809080 What makes you think so?"
mdp.39015034809080	What the hell's the good of powdering prints when we ai n't even sure it's a mur- der yet or what?
mdp.39015034809080	What time did you get home here?
mdp.39015034809080	What's biting you?
mdp.39015034809080	What's going on in here?
mdp.39015034809080	What,thought I,"is one small mystery, more or less, in a publishing world full of mysteries?
mdp.39015034809080	What?
mdp.39015034809080	Where'd you go?
mdp.39015034809080	Where,I complied,"is this hating and fearing going on?"
mdp.39015034809080	Which Van Garter?
mdp.39015034809080	Which matter?
mdp.39015034809080	Which of you folks,questioned he,"were here in the house at the time this here thing transpired?"
mdp.39015034809080	Who do you think took the gun away with him in his pocket?
mdp.39015034809080	Who hates whom?
mdp.39015034809080	Who is touching anything?
mdp.39015034809080	Who's sick? mdp.39015034809080 Who, then, fears whom?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why do n't you ask me?
mdp.39015034809080	Why would he of had to bring him in with him?
mdp.39015034809080	Why,Sergeant Campbell asked,"the hell do n't it?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why,asked the wily Mr. Goldberger,"was you watching him so particular?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why?
mdp.39015034809080	Will you give me your reasons for this opinion?
mdp.39015034809080	Will you telephone now, please?
mdp.39015034809080	Will you tell me what you told him?
mdp.39015034809080	Would it be my idea?
mdp.39015034809080	Would it make a very loud noise?
mdp.39015034809080	Yeah? mdp.39015034809080 Yeah?
mdp.39015034809080	Yeah? mdp.39015034809080 Yeah?"
mdp.39015034809080	Yes?
mdp.39015034809080	Yes?
mdp.39015034809080	You accomplished all this in the short space of fifteen minutes?
mdp.39015034809080	You are n't meaning, are you,he questioned,"that you think the two crimes are unrelated?"
mdp.39015034809080	You are sure it was n't Louisiana?
mdp.39015034809080	You did n't tell the men last night about your latching the screen, did you?
mdp.39015034809080	You do n't believe in it, I suppose?
mdp.39015034809080	You do n't say? mdp.39015034809080 You do n't,"said Dot, when I re- turned,"care at all for music, do you, Mr. Van Garter?"
mdp.39015034809080	You do?
mdp.39015034809080	You mean the police officers — detectives?
mdp.39015034809080	You wanted people to think that I had killed Tony, was that it?
mdp.39015034809080	You was in your room just nowl"Should n't I have gone in? mdp.39015034809080 You was present at the time of this fight?"
mdp.39015034809080	You would n't have any idea, I suppose, about somebody who had it in for him — wanted to kill him for some reason or other?
mdp.39015034809080	You yourself was at the show all evening with Mrs. Bailey, was n't you?
mdp.39015034809080	You — hope sol Hope so?
mdp.39015034809080	You'd be willing to swear that it was n't latched between ten and eleven o'clock?
mdp.39015034809080	You'd know, would n't you, if you heard a pistol shot in the house?
mdp.39015034809080	You'll drive me to the depot, wo n't you, Vicky? mdp.39015034809080 You've all been handling this, have n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Your name's Oswald Fleep, ai n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	.?
mdp.39015034809080	134 THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY Lieutenant Wirt, unsmiling, questioned,"Well, where was we at?"
mdp.39015034809080	156 THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY"But — would you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Absolutely extraordinary, if you know what I mean?"
mdp.39015034809080	After we came in?
mdp.39015034809080	Alive?
mdp.39015034809080	And is n't it odd,"—she gave the pistol to me —"or do you think so, that we should find two weapons in the yard?
mdp.39015034809080	And that if she keeps on asking, you'll keep on paying?
mdp.39015034809080	And to what avail?
mdp.39015034809080	And why?
mdp.39015034809080	And you thought you might betray your nervousness if you came right down- stairs?
mdp.39015034809080	And, speaking of Evadne, did you notice that she remained below stairs while the others of us were above trying to open Mrs. Bailey's door?
mdp.39015034809080	And, to me, in an undertone as we walked up the stairs,"Is there an astrologer living here?"
mdp.39015034809080	And, when Oswald as- sented,"You're the — I mean a — um — what- you- may- call- it — astrologer, are n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Answer it, will you, Tony?
mdp.39015034809080	Anyhow, if he did write the note here him- 108 THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY self, we'd of liked to had his prints to prove it, would n't we?"
mdp.39015034809080	Are the Scotch a punctilious people?
mdp.39015034809080	Are you telling the truth or just trying to kid me along?"
mdp.39015034809080	As if, for in- stance, she were afraid to go through the passageway at the back of the house into the garage to get out the car?"
mdp.39015034809080	Bailey?"
mdp.39015034809080	Break it yourself, and decide to blame me and make Mother pay for it?"
mdp.39015034809080	But Where was I?
mdp.39015034809080	But could she, I questioned myself, have come downstairs and gone through the remainder of the evening quietly, carelessly, stolidly?
mdp.39015034809080	But did she do so?
mdp.39015034809080	But how else could I explain why Vicky came from the back of the house and what she had been doing there?
mdp.39015034809080	But supposing Helene and Tony had known each other before, why should she try to keep us from informing his family?"
mdp.39015034809080	But that carving knife, now?
mdp.39015034809080	But what was you going to say, lady, THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY 147 before Wirt here butted in?
mdp.39015034809080	But why waken her now?
mdp.39015034809080	But you see what I think, do n't you?

mdp.39015034809080	Carelessness?
mdp.39015034809080	Chiefly he wanted to know what I was up to in the house while the others were out on the porch""But how did he know that you were in the house then?
mdp.39015034809080	Come go along with us, you two, wo n't you?
mdp.39015034809080	Could n't he move?"
mdp.39015034809080	Could n't it be termed ac- cumulated experience, accuracy of analysis — some- thing else?
mdp.39015034809080	Could n't we let her sleep as long as she will?"
mdp.39015034809080	Could the Dane be a small round object?
mdp.39015034809080	Could the removal of the pistol be an attempt to in- volve some innocent person in crime?
mdp.39015034809080	Could there be an object other than the obvious one of wishing to delay the police call?

mdp.39015034809080	Decoration Day, when we went to see that little house in Clark's Wood?
mdp.39015034809080	Did I move your xylophone two inches back, or one inch forward""Oh, you did it, did you?
mdp.39015034809080	Did Mr. Charvan lock himself in the room and remove the key?
mdp.39015034809080	Did he come alone?
mdp.39015034809080	Did he come home?
mdp.39015034809080	Did he say where?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did it have some closer connection with the tragedy?
mdp.39015034809080	Did n't she, Mr. Van Garter?
mdp.39015034809080	Did n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did or did not Oswald Fleep act in any way peculiarly when he came into the kitchen?
mdp.39015034809080	Did she find it?
mdp.39015034809080	Did someone else remove the key in order to lock and unlock the door at will with the pass key?
mdp.39015034809080	Did the same hand close the front door?
mdp.39015034809080	Did they talk before you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did you notice Sarah's poor old wrists?
mdp.39015034809080	Did you notice the exact time — fifteen minutes to twelve — again given?
mdp.39015034809080	Did you substitute the poem?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did you take it, Candy?"
mdp.39015034809080	Did you think he was in love with her?
mdp.39015034809080	Do I hear a question?
mdp.39015034809080	Do any of you folks happen to know what book it come out of, or anything about it?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do n't I, Sassy?
mdp.39015034809080	Do n't happen to know what time you finally did get in, do you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do we deftly palm a coin or pull a rabbit from a hat?
mdp.39015034809080	Do you know what?
mdp.39015034809080	Do you remem- ber, Vicky?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do you seriously believe that he would kill Helene, whom he loved, because she had given him the wrong birth date?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do you suppose Patsy's mother or Marjorie's would allow him in their homes?
mdp.39015034809080	Do you think that I stabbed Helene?"
mdp.39015034809080	Do you think we should say something to the police, and investigate the rest of the house?"
mdp.39015034809080	Does it say, why, then, in all con- science had I not noticed on the astrological chart that she had given her birth year as 1888?
mdp.39015034809080	Does my chart, too, indicate the uselessness of sacrifice?"
mdp.39015034809080	Does she call her stepdaughter'Sassy'?
mdp.39015034809080	Does this note suggest that more than one per- son was involved in the affair?
mdp.39015034809080	Evadne did n't notice Sarah's wrists, or she could n't have said I told you that, though, did n't I?
mdp.39015034809080	Fear?
mdp.39015034809080	For Helene's sake, wo n't you help me with this?
mdp.39015034809080	Further seeking, why did I not find this motive in a world full of wage- earning women whose bitter enemy is age and loss of position therefrom?
mdp.39015034809080	Had Anthony Charvan locked himself in the room with this key?
mdp.39015034809080	Had Dot, in her terror, confessed to her mother?
mdp.39015034809080	Had she kept this pose?
mdp.39015034809080	Had someone been searching for something in this room?
mdp.39015034809080	Had the telephone cord been cut, as I stood there waiting on account of my slight deafness for silence, should I have noticed it?
mdp.39015034809080	Has she wakened?"
mdp.39015034809080	Haste?
mdp.39015034809080	Have n't been to your room since you come in, have you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Have we a secret?
mdp.39015034809080	Have you found the motive?"
mdp.39015034809080	He just felt sorry for her, but"THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY 223"Orilla?"
mdp.39015034809080	He left it, for a message?"
mdp.39015034809080	Honest, now?
mdp.39015034809080	How come you changed your minds about it?"
mdp.39015034809080	How could you stay away so long?
mdp.39015034809080	How did you discover that Sarah Parnham committed the murders?"
mdp.39015034809080	How did you know it was n't suicide?"
mdp.39015034809080	How do you know?"
mdp.39015034809080	How had Helene Bailey known of Dot's guilt?
mdp.39015034809080	How long does it take body heat to leave the body?
mdp.39015034809080	How long was she up there?
mdp.39015034809080	How long will it take me to go there in a cab?"
mdp.39015034809080	How should you like this?
mdp.39015034809080	How soon do you think Miss MacDonald will arrive?"
mdp.39015034809080	I filled my pipe and asked,"Was anything more found out in the yard?"
mdp.39015034809080	I had my antagonist, had I not?
mdp.39015034809080	I imagined him writing,"Not an enemy on earth,"in shorthand, before he questioned,"Was you present when the body was found?"
mdp.39015034809080	I just told you that he killed himself, did n't I?
mdp.39015034809080	I presume that is what you mean?
mdp.39015034809080	I questioned, and prompted,"Such as?"
mdp.39015034809080	I take it that you and Mr. Keasy agreed on the final conclusion?
mdp.39015034809080	I take it that you find yourself unwilling to shoulder the blame in order to save her?"
mdp.39015034809080	If delay was the object, then why was the pass key left where it could be found?
mdp.39015034809080	If he does not know, what is the cause of this embarrassment deeply onerous to us both?"
mdp.39015034809080	If he wanted to write a note, why would he come in here to set down half a dozen words when he had to take a pencil to sign'em anyway?"
mdp.39015034809080	If he were, as he seemed to be, independent of his earnings, why in the nation should he trouble to sing at a jerkwater radio station?
mdp.39015034809080	If she is under a cloud, no young gentlemen will want to carry her to parties, or court her — you- all understand?"
mdp.39015034809080	If so, at what time?
mdp.39015034809080	If so, why was the note not destroyed?
mdp.39015034809080	If so, why was the pistol thrown into the yard?
mdp.39015034809080	If suicide, how, why, and by whom was the pistol removed from the body and thrown into the yard?
mdp.39015034809080	If you are fond of me — and I believe that you are — will you do something to please me?"
mdp.39015034809080	If you find it, you can tell — can't you?—whether or not it was fired from this pistol?"
mdp.39015034809080	If you was sore at him then, why did n't you bawl him out when THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY 139 you had the chance?
mdp.39015034809080	In particular, why was the pass key left beside the telephone?
mdp.39015034809080	Is that the idea?"
mdp.39015034809080	Is that usual — and allowable?"
mdp.39015034809080	Is there significance in the fact that Dot went to procure other keys?
mdp.39015034809080	Is this true?"
mdp.39015034809080	It may be regrettable, though, that Oswald Fleep, before he went for police aid, had neither heard the question,"How do you know it is suicide?"
mdp.39015034809080	It was all just ter- rible, was n't it, Mr. Van Garter?"
mdp.39015034809080	It was, was n't it?"
mdp.39015034809080	Jealousy and greed?
mdp.39015034809080	Just what time did this Charvan get home?"
mdp.39015034809080	Later, perhaps, Toulon?"
mdp.39015034809080	Let me in, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Let me see, though — where was I?"
mdp.39015034809080	Like I said, what's one more little secret, anyway?
mdp.39015034809080	Long enough, perhaps, to ascend to the attic and en- gage Orilla the housemaid to shoot Mr. Charvan in- stantly upon his arrival above stairs?
mdp.39015034809080	May I put them at your disposal, during your stay here?"
mdp.39015034809080	Maybe that's naughty of me?
mdp.39015034809080	Might it be possible that he was killed elsewhere and carried into the room later?
mdp.39015034809080	Might of been a woman, might n't it?"
mdp.39015034809080	Miss MacDonald caught up with them,"Astrol- ogy?"
mdp.39015034809080	Miss Van Garter?
mdp.39015034809080	Mother said that one day last February when she went to market she came out of the THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY 247"You are positive of that?"
mdp.39015034809080	Mr. Goldberger said,"Seventeen?
mdp.39015034809080	Mr. Shautz asked,"Does anybody recognize the knife?"
mdp.39015034809080	Mr. Shautz said,"Who?"
mdp.39015034809080	Mrs. Bailey said,"Are you leaving, officers?"
mdp.39015034809080	Mrs. Bailey said,"May I see it, please?"
mdp.39015034809080	Mrs. Bailey said,"Really, Lieu- tenant, are these schoolgirl aversions of any impor- tance?
mdp.39015034809080	Mrs. Bailey spoke to me in a lowered voice:"Mr. Van Garter, I wonder — will you help me?
mdp.39015034809080	Narrows it down neatly, does n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	Never, I think, have I heard a more welcome sound than her cross, sleepy voice as she answered,"Yes?
mdp.39015034809080	No?
mdp.39015034809080	Nothing that's out there's going to run off before sunrise, is it?
mdp.39015034809080	Now how about Banff or Norway?
mdp.39015034809080	Now then: Are the servants'rooms on this floor?"
mdp.39015034809080	Now then: What time does the radio announcer leave the station on Sunday?"
mdp.39015034809080	Now what did I say?
mdp.39015034809080	Now?
mdp.39015034809080	O. K. by you, Wirt?"
mdp.39015034809080	Often?
mdp.39015034809080	Oh But what is happening to us here?
mdp.39015034809080	Or could you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Or shall I go over it again?"
mdp.39015034809080	Or should we go into it all just once more, to be certain that we have everything straight?"
mdp.39015034809080	Or — at least, let me see — was it Bayou Grove?
mdp.39015034809080	Ornament, or something?
mdp.39015034809080	Oswald Fleep knelt beside the body, and was standing again shaking his head slowly when Sarah Parnham asked,"Should n't we send for the police?"
mdp.39015034809080	Out of your own book, eh?"
mdp.39015034809080	Parnham?"
mdp.39015034809080	Pass key right here in the house — right on this very table; was n't it?"
mdp.39015034809080	Promise me that you wo n't consult your lawyer?
mdp.39015034809080	Promise me that you'll pay, right off, whatever she asks?
mdp.39015034809080	Promise me, Candy?
mdp.39015034809080	Promise, darling?"
mdp.39015034809080	Remember, it was she who first said that it was n't suicide, and who kept in- sisting that it was n't suicide?"
mdp.39015034809080	Said he,"Malengrin?"
mdp.39015034809080	Sarah Parnham repeated,"You'll like helping a famous detective, wo n't you?
mdp.39015034809080	See, Mother?
mdp.39015034809080	Seeing me, gentlemen, and considering my age and THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY 171"Why did I not do so?
mdp.39015034809080	Sergeant Campbell rubbed the back of his head and countered,"Yeah, but why would anybody else do that, either?"
mdp.39015034809080	Shall I call a doctor?"
mdp.39015034809080	Shall I do that, darling?
mdp.39015034809080	Shall we ask Miss Van Garter if she'd be willing to tell Miss Bailey?
mdp.39015034809080	Shall we talk of something else?"
mdp.39015034809080	She is utterly selfish — but that is egotism again, is n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	She is wonderful, is n't she?
mdp.39015034809080	She sighed, and finished crossly:"Mother, ca n't we go into the living room and sit down?
mdp.39015034809080	Should you have told those men, if they had n't asked you, and you had been in my place?"
mdp.39015034809080	So how can we know whether we were here or not?"
mdp.39015034809080	Something to fight, something to get my false teeth into and bite on?
mdp.39015034809080	Something you noticed, you said, in your room?"
mdp.39015034809080	Stupidity?
mdp.39015034809080	THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY 277"Little and fat?"
mdp.39015034809080	Temperament?
mdp.39015034809080	That Vicky mentioned Evadne's having a pass key some months ago?
mdp.39015034809080	That he has been rude to you?"
mdp.39015034809080	That is correctly stated, is it not?"
mdp.39015034809080	That mine was to be the better part, as it were?"
mdp.39015034809080	That poem Where is it?
mdp.39015034809080	That was right, was n't it, Candy?
mdp.39015034809080	That woman and her proofs, and her'Poohsl'""But my dear,"said I,"I thought you liked Miss MacDonald?"
mdp.39015034809080	The detective who is coming?
mdp.39015034809080	The door key was found inside the room on the book's torn page, was it not?
mdp.39015034809080	The key?
mdp.39015034809080	The police, I think, had decided to be — baffled; that's the word, is n't it?
mdp.39015034809080	The signature was forged, was n't it?"
mdp.39015034809080	The trouble is — will the others know this?
mdp.39015034809080	There are ever so many Danes here in Satoria — but are Danes ever little and fat?"
mdp.39015034809080	They think that Tony and Mrs. Bailey must have had a secret in common, and the same enemy"Old Sherlock stirred within me,"Closed the drawer?"
mdp.39015034809080	They will find him, wo n't they, Mr. Van Garter?
mdp.39015034809080	To direct suspicion away from himself?
mdp.39015034809080	To find something else?
mdp.39015034809080	To find the pistol?
mdp.39015034809080	To shield someone else?
mdp.39015034809080	Tony Charvan would have to unlock it, would n't he?
mdp.39015034809080	Vicky asked, as if she did n't care,"Is anyone at home?"
mdp.39015034809080	Vicky asked,"Dot, dear, should you know your father if you were to see him now?"
mdp.39015034809080	Vicky asked,"Why do you stay out here in this miserable cold fog?"
mdp.39015034809080	Vicky said,"It does n't matter, though, does it, about Dot's age?"
mdp.39015034809080	Vicky said,"Oh, Paul — have you — heard?"
mdp.39015034809080	Vicky's immediate question,"What was written on that paper?"
mdp.39015034809080	Walked, I suppose?"
mdp.39015034809080	Was Evadne Parnham's mind, then, since it was she who first questioned our theory of suicide, the superior mind among us?
mdp.39015034809080	Was it about you, or about somebody else?"
mdp.39015034809080	Was it thrown from the window?
mdp.39015034809080	Was it used to cut the telephone cord?
mdp.39015034809080	Was n't it yours, Uncle?
mdp.39015034809080	Was the note put under the door by someone who wished to throw suspicion upon Mr. Fleep?
mdp.39015034809080	Was the note put under the door by the detec- tive who claimed he found it there, in order to force Mr. Fleep to talk if he had anything to say?
mdp.39015034809080	Was the pass key I found on the telephone stand the key that had been used to lock it?
mdp.39015034809080	Was this torn from the book and typed and forged by the murderer in order to make the death seem to be suicidal?
mdp.39015034809080	Was this torn from the book and typed and signed by Antony Charvan?
mdp.39015034809080	Was your question concerning Louisiana as a birthplace an astrological question only?"
mdp.39015034809080	We found it not far from the east windows of the living room, and""And the rod?"
mdp.39015034809080	Well, what was you told, and who told you?"
mdp.39015034809080	What chance had I?
mdp.39015034809080	What chance has any man with the adorable, infuriating Vickys of the world?
mdp.39015034809080	What did you do, fall or something?"
mdp.39015034809080	What did you do?
mdp.39015034809080	What has become of it, in a minute, pray?
mdp.39015034809080	What is it?"
mdp.39015034809080	What is it?"
mdp.39015034809080	What is the trouble?"
mdp.39015034809080	What is this chattering?"
mdp.39015034809080	What shall I do?"
mdp.39015034809080	What time did you shut up your store?"
mdp.39015034809080	What was it the lady had said?
mdp.39015034809080	What was the knocking I heard on the kitchen door?
mdp.39015034809080	What'a you say we go out now, if Goldy's got no objections, thinking we'd ruin his pretty footprints, and take a look around the place?
mdp.39015034809080	What'd you think I put that pad- lock on there for?
mdp.39015034809080	What's that?"
mdp.39015034809080	What's the matter?
mdp.39015034809080	What's the matter?"
mdp.39015034809080	What?
mdp.39015034809080	Whatever induced me to think that a kitchen could take the place of a library in a tale of crime?
mdp.39015034809080	When Vicky answered,"Why do n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	When had she discovered it?
mdp.39015034809080	When it had stirred, feebly, I remarked,"And so he suggests that you confess to the crimes in order to save Vicky?"
mdp.39015034809080	When you met the ladies in the front hall did either of them seem disturbed, nervous, frightened?
mdp.39015034809080	Where are you going, Candy?
mdp.39015034809080	Where are you going?"
mdp.39015034809080	Where have I landed?
mdp.39015034809080	Where have you been?
mdp.39015034809080	Where is the food?
mdp.39015034809080	Where were you when all this talk was going on?
mdp.39015034809080	Where's all your other roomers?"
mdp.39015034809080	Where's the phone?"
mdp.39015034809080	Which of you folks were here in the house at the time this here thing transpired?"
mdp.39015034809080	Who cut the cord?
mdp.39015034809080	Who else?"
mdp.39015034809080	Who killed Tony Charvan?"
mdp.39015034809080	Who locked Helene Bailey's bedroom door?
mdp.39015034809080	Who told him that — and why, I wonder?"
mdp.39015034809080	Who turned on the radio while I was upstairs?
mdp.39015034809080	Who was the last one of you folks to see the victim alive?"
mdp.39015034809080	Whom, then, shall we suspect?
mdp.39015034809080	Why did I not know that some motive must be behind this lie direct about her age?
mdp.39015034809080	Why did we all assume at once that he was a suicide?
mdp.39015034809080	Why did you think that I, cowardly, dog- guilty, should telephone at once for the ablest crime investigator on the coast?
mdp.39015034809080	Why do n't you get up?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why do n't you write a letter to your mother, or do some sensible thing of the sort, as Miss Parnham is doing?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why do we all have to stand around out here?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why had Vicky taken longer than usual to put her car in the garage?
mdp.39015034809080	Why have n't you told us of this before?
mdp.39015034809080	Why lock the door?
mdp.39015034809080	Why on earth should Evadne try to damage her own xylophone?"
mdp.39015034809080	Why should I?
mdp.39015034809080	Why should a pass key be used if the key to the door was available?
mdp.39015034809080	Why should he remove the key from the keyhole?
mdp.39015034809080	Why should the pass key be left on the telephone stand in the hall?
mdp.39015034809080	Why, 92 THE MERIWETHER MYSTERY then, I reasoned, should I present it to my readers?
mdp.39015034809080	Why?
mdp.39015034809080	Why?
mdp.39015034809080	Will the laundry be able to get it out, do you think?
mdp.39015034809080	Will you please close the sliding doors in the hall?"
mdp.39015034809080	Will you see them, Mr. Van Garter?"
mdp.39015034809080	Will you stay with her, Miss Van Garter?
mdp.39015034809080	Will you telephone to him at once, and ask him to hurry?"
mdp.39015034809080	Would it be too hard for her?
mdp.39015034809080	Would n't you, Shautz?"
mdp.39015034809080	Would n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	Would she resent it if I went up?
mdp.39015034809080	Would you of noticed, if he had been — well, as they say, in a suicidal mood?"
mdp.39015034809080	You are n't familiar with police methods?
mdp.39015034809080	You can see?
mdp.39015034809080	You caught it long ago?
mdp.39015034809080	You claim that the last time you saw this Charvan was around seven o'clock last night?
mdp.39015034809080	You have n't found time to examine them yourself?"
mdp.39015034809080	You have seen it, of course?
mdp.39015034809080	You have that straight, Candy?
mdp.39015034809080	You hear me?
mdp.39015034809080	You knew that, did n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	You know how people change their minds sometimes?"
mdp.39015034809080	You remember, Uncle?
mdp.39015034809080	You see what this will amount to, in the light of her actions last night and this morning?
mdp.39015034809080	You understand my point?
mdp.39015034809080	You'd love me to do that, should n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	You'll like helping a famous detective, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015034809080	You, lady?"
mdp.39015034809080	Your advice, then, would be to destroy it and not show it to the woman detective at all?"

mdp.39015016762406	Where's the kid?
mdp.39015016762406	Where's the shower?
mdp.39015016762406	Where?
mdp.39015016762406	Which of you is Potter?
mdp.39015016762406	Which one?
mdp.39015016762406	Who do you suppose?
mdp.39015016762406	Who had the first best?
mdp.39015016762406	Who has the guns?
mdp.39015016762406	Who is it?
mdp.39015016762406	Who let you in?
mdp.39015016762406	Who put you to bed?
mdp.39015016762406	Who said I was out there?
mdp.39015016762406	Who then?
mdp.39015016762406	Who you looking for?
mdp.39015016762406	Who'll take care of the joint?
mdp.39015016762406	Who's out risking his life for a fee?
mdp.39015016762406	Who's there?
mdp.39015016762406	Who?
mdp.39015016762406	Who?
mdp.39015016762406	Who?
mdp.39015016762406	Who?
mdp.39015016762406	Why did n't you say so?
mdp.39015016762406	Why did you ask me about fruit tramps?
mdp.39015016762406	Why did you break jail?
mdp.39015016762406	Why did you let me stay?
mdp.39015016762406	Why do n't they?
mdp.39015016762406	Why do n't we call the army?
mdp.39015016762406	Why do you dump me off here, then?
mdp.39015016762406	Why in hell did you pay me all this dough to find a fruit tramp?
mdp.39015016762406	Why murder?
mdp.39015016762406	Why not take me with you?
mdp.39015016762406	Why not?
mdp.39015016762406	Why should I?
mdp.39015016762406	Why — why did you want to see Johnny?
mdp.39015016762406	Why?
mdp.39015016762406	Why?
mdp.39015016762406	Will you be there?
mdp.39015016762406	Will you do something for me? mdp.39015016762406 Will you take twenty thousand?"
mdp.39015016762406	Would a hundred help the memory?
mdp.39015016762406	Would n't I have made it three?
mdp.39015016762406	Would you say I was drunk?
mdp.39015016762406	Yes?
mdp.39015016762406	Yes?
mdp.39015016762406	You a college man?
mdp.39015016762406	You a friend of George's?
mdp.39015016762406	You ai n't — well, you ai n't had too much?
mdp.39015016762406	You asleep out there?
mdp.39015016762406	You believe him?
mdp.39015016762406	You ca n't guess?
mdp.39015016762406	You called in the police?
mdp.39015016762406	You came, did n't you? mdp.39015016762406 You do much business with migratory workers?"
mdp.39015016762406	You do n't believe me?
mdp.39015016762406	You do n't mind if I talk to Mrs. Has- tings?
mdp.39015016762406	You do n't think I had anything to do with Has- tings'death, do you?
mdp.39015016762406	You ever stay in it?
mdp.39015016762406	You expecting him?
mdp.39015016762406	You got a lease on the joint?
mdp.39015016762406	You got there around nine, did n't you?
mdp.39015016762406	You have it?
mdp.39015016762406	You have n't seen the papers, Mr. Dunecht? mdp.39015016762406 You have them?"
mdp.39015016762406	You hear Caldwell talking on the phone?
mdp.39015016762406	You kill him, Max?
mdp.39015016762406	You knew him well, did n't you? mdp.39015016762406 You knew them?"
mdp.39015016762406	You know about it?
mdp.39015016762406	You live around here?
mdp.39015016762406	You looking for somebody, friend?
mdp.39015016762406	You mean he's got a sister?
mdp.39015016762406	You never saw him before?
mdp.39015016762406	You quarreled?
mdp.39015016762406	You say he bought some more — who from?
mdp.39015016762406	You see him?
mdp.39015016762406	You see why I'm proud of him?
mdp.39015016762406	You see?
mdp.39015016762406	You sent me to him, did n't you?
mdp.39015016762406	You speak to Rawson?
mdp.39015016762406	You stayed in the bar?
mdp.39015016762406	You sure you came to the right place?
mdp.39015016762406	You talk to your brother?
mdp.39015016762406	You telling the truth about Foster?
mdp.39015016762406	You there?
mdp.39015016762406	You think my conscience should hurt me, eh?
mdp.39015016762406	You told him there was?
mdp.39015016762406	You turned the will over to Belle Farris?
mdp.39015016762406	You want him to get killed?
mdp.39015016762406	You want me to go over it again, I suppose?
mdp.39015016762406	You want me to stay away — is that it?
mdp.39015016762406	You want to spend the rest of your life here?
mdp.39015016762406	You will help us?
mdp.39015016762406	You wo n't change your mind?
mdp.39015016762406	You would n't be afraid they might pick up Johnny Foster, would you?
mdp.39015016762406	You would n't be afraid they'd try your stunt?
mdp.39015016762406	You would n't lie to me, soldier?
mdp.39015016762406	You would n't, huh?
mdp.39015016762406	You'll help us?
mdp.39015016762406	You're not angry?
mdp.39015016762406	You're saying I stole the Engstead collection?
mdp.39015016762406	You're sure this is Mr. Campbell's secretary?
mdp.39015016762406	You've talked to her?
mdp.39015016762406	You've —a momentary hesitation which gave her time for another sip,"— talked to the detective?"
mdp.39015016762406	Your husband was jealous, was n't he?
mdp.39015016762406	Your husband?
mdp.39015016762406	Your name's Campbell, is n't it? mdp.39015016762406 — there's no hope?"
mdp.39015016762406	'"Do I get out of here?"
mdp.39015016762406	,"So what happened to him does n't matter?"
mdp.39015016762406	143"Surprised?"
mdp.39015016762406	148"Not a cop?"
mdp.39015016762406	17"He in town?"
mdp.39015016762406	195"Would n't I?"
mdp.39015016762406	32"Did n't he?"
mdp.39015016762406	35"What business?"
mdp.39015016762406	90"Me?"
mdp.39015016762406	A good portion of the Joaquin population seemed to share Humphrey's enthusiasm for The Poplars, and why not?
mdp.39015016762406	All right, where's the hundred?"
mdp.39015016762406	An odd sort of a hobby, is n't it?
mdp.39015016762406	And I says where did you get it anyway, steal it?
mdp.39015016762406	And how did you get classified 4F?
mdp.39015016762406	And if he had, would she have been just another woman to him, just one of the many he must have known in his life?
mdp.39015016762406	And what would he do?
mdp.39015016762406	And who was Mr. Tallent?
mdp.39015016762406	And why would n't they listen?
mdp.39015016762406	Anything happen?"
mdp.39015016762406	Anyway, do n't you know?"
mdp.39015016762406	Belle Farris opened the door, saw who it was and put 129"Was he here?"
mdp.39015016762406	Bending low, he climbed the bank, moved forward » 5*"Yep. V"No dough?"
mdp.39015016762406	But if a man reached the age of thirty- seven without learning something about women, what could he expect?
mdp.39015016762406	But in the interim, what was he going to do with Mr. Farris?
mdp.39015016762406	But in those four days would he find out who cut short Mr. Hastings'uninspired career?
mdp.39015016762406	But what do you expect the rest of them to think, with him taking a powder?
mdp.39015016762406	But what good would that do?
mdp.39015016762406	But what was that on the kitchen floor?
mdp.39015016762406	But what's that got to do with it?"
mdp.39015016762406	But where in hell did the thousand- dollar Confederate bill fit in?
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell again?
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Campbell?"
mdp.39015016762406	Can I take a message?"
mdp.39015016762406	Can you beat that?"
mdp.39015016762406	Collecting something you have to hide because you're afraid people will steal it?"
mdp.39015016762406	Could I have?"
mdp.39015016762406	Crime passionel, huh?"
mdp.39015016762406	Did Hastings say anything about it?"
mdp.39015016762406	Did he show?"
mdp.39015016762406	Did n't the district attorney get hundreds of anonymous calls every time there was a mur- der?
mdp.39015016762406	Did you bring me a pie with a file in it?"
mdp.39015016762406	Did you see your hus- band Monday night?"
mdp.39015016762406	Do I look like a cop?"
mdp.39015016762406	Do n't you know you ai n't supposed to drink before five?"
mdp.39015016762406	Do n't you un- derstand what that would do to a man?"
mdp.39015016762406	Do you remember going to the bathroom?"
mdp.39015016762406	Do you think anything could have happened to Georgie?
mdp.39015016762406	Does that name mean anything?"
mdp.39015016762406	Dunecht?
mdp.39015016762406	Ever hear of Bill Murray?"
mdp.39015016762406	Family back east?"
mdp.39015016762406	Feel cheated?"
mdp.39015016762406	For luck?
mdp.39015016762406	For, once away from the house, Maxie said suspiciously,"What the hell kep'you so long?"
mdp.39015016762406	Getting mixed up in murder —""Huh?"
mdp.39015016762406	Had Hastings walked out on this or had she walked out on Hastings?
mdp.39015016762406	Had she come into the house that night, holding the piece of iron, and was she afraid he might remember?
mdp.39015016762406	Hastings again?"
mdp.39015016762406	Hastings?"
mdp.39015016762406	Have a drink?"
mdp.39015016762406	He asked,"Where are you staying?"
mdp.39015016762406	He did n't let you look inside those little books, did he?"
mdp.39015016762406	He drew a deep breath, turned away and went back to his chair,"Mind letting me see that bill?"
mdp.39015016762406	He frowned at June, said,"What happened to you?"
mdp.39015016762406	He had known — after he took time to think it out — who had done the killing, had n't he?
mdp.39015016762406	He said shortly,"What have you to tell them?"
mdp.39015016762406	He shot a quizzical glance at her, asked sharply,"Are you telling me everything?"
mdp.39015016762406	Her name Farris too?"
mdp.39015016762406	His sister?"
mdp.39015016762406	His wife kill him?"
mdp.39015016762406	How about it?
mdp.39015016762406	How about that night?"
mdp.39015016762406	How about that night?"
mdp.39015016762406	How are you, Sarge?"
mdp.39015016762406	How did he start it?
mdp.39015016762406	How did you know I was mixed in it?"
mdp.39015016762406	How do you like soldiering?"
mdp.39015016762406	How he made his money?"
mdp.39015016762406	How the hell are we going to win a war with guys like you in the can?"
mdp.39015016762406	How would the police commission feel about renewing your license if they thought you sold your clients out?"
mdp.39015016762406	How'd you find us, Mister?"
mdp.39015016762406	How's that?"
mdp.39015016762406	How?"
mdp.39015016762406	Humphrey scooped up the phone, and as he dialed Dunecht's number he asked:"What did Oscar want?"
mdp.39015016762406	Hyatt making any progress on the jail break, Oscar?"
mdp.39015016762406	I knew he was lying but what could I do about it?"
mdp.39015016762406	I sent him to you, remember?"
mdp.39015016762406	I told you that, did n't I?
mdp.39015016762406	I'm not much help, am I?"
mdp.39015016762406	I've been up against the law all my life and I know, see?
mdp.39015016762406	If it was Nell, why did n't she call to him softly, why did n't she whisper his name?
mdp.39015016762406	Instead he said,"So Tallent was there too?"
mdp.39015016762406	Interested?"
mdp.39015016762406	Is n't it sad, Max?"
mdp.39015016762406	Is n't it silly?
mdp.39015016762406	Is that all right?"
mdp.39015016762406	Is that all?
mdp.39015016762406	Is there a hotel in town?"
mdp.39015016762406	It's not the sort of matter you can thrash out in court, now is it?"
mdp.39015016762406	Last year you know how much the collection was worth?"
mdp.39015016762406	Les agrees with me, do n't you, Les?"
mdp.39015016762406	Like I said —""Ever hear him mention a man named Moise?"
mdp.39015016762406	Little books with bills in glass pockets?"
mdp.39015016762406	Little books, maybe?
mdp.39015016762406	Little late, is n't it?
mdp.39015016762406	Maybe it meant something, but what?
mdp.39015016762406	Maybe you should say,"Look, babe, your old man got knocked off and what the hell did you have to do with it?
mdp.39015016762406	Moise?"
mdp.39015016762406	Moise?"
mdp.39015016762406	Motive?
mdp.39015016762406	Now can I go to sleep?"
mdp.39015016762406	Now where is he?"
mdp.39015016762406	Oscar listened, frowning and tugging at a strand of silver hair, and presently he said,"You got it figured out?"
mdp.39015016762406	Preston?"
mdp.39015016762406	Remember?"
mdp.39015016762406	Right?"
mdp.39015016762406	Say seven- thirty?"
mdp.39015016762406	So Mrs. Hastings is closing the joint?"
mdp.39015016762406	Someone reliable and honest?"
mdp.39015016762406	Something terribly important?"
mdp.39015016762406	Soon?
mdp.39015016762406	Sorry?
mdp.39015016762406	Still trust me?"
mdp.39015016762406	Tallent?"
mdp.39015016762406	Tallent?"
mdp.39015016762406	That would be silly, would n't it?
mdp.39015016762406	That's probably what it was, because who would be wandering around downstairs at this time of night?
mdp.39015016762406	Think you can help the soldier?"
mdp.39015016762406	This war?
mdp.39015016762406	Tonight?
mdp.39015016762406	Too bad?
mdp.39015016762406	Tracy?"
mdp.39015016762406	Unless —""Unless what?"
mdp.39015016762406	Was he getting old?
mdp.39015016762406	Was she lying?
mdp.39015016762406	We know he did n't kill Has- tings, and we know he did n't kill Tallent even if —""Even if what?"
mdp.39015016762406	Well, say on your brother?
mdp.39015016762406	What did he want?"
mdp.39015016762406	What difference did it make if they blamed him?
mdp.39015016762406	What do you expect me to do?"
mdp.39015016762406	What do you know about Tallent, huh?"
mdp.39015016762406	What do you suppose it means?"
mdp.39015016762406	What do you think of that?"
mdp.39015016762406	What do you think?"
mdp.39015016762406	What else did you want to know?"
mdp.39015016762406	What had he been waiting for?
mdp.39015016762406	What had he done?
mdp.39015016762406	What happened Monday night?"
mdp.39015016762406	What has Moise to do with Hastings?"
mdp.39015016762406	What has that to do with it?"
mdp.39015016762406	What has the fact I phoned Moise to do with the Hastings murder?"
mdp.39015016762406	What if someone had called and said he had seen Campbell and Foster together in a car on South Jay Street?
mdp.39015016762406	What makes you think I did some work for Hastings?"
mdp.39015016762406	What outfit?"
mdp.39015016762406	What would she be doing now?
mdp.39015016762406	What's he look like?"
mdp.39015016762406	What's ten thousand — or twenty?
mdp.39015016762406	What's the pitch?"
mdp.39015016762406	What's the proposition?"
mdp.39015016762406	What's this about Moise?"
mdp.39015016762406	When can I see young Foster?"
mdp.39015016762406	Where are you?"
mdp.39015016762406	Where is he?"

hvd.hxq8e4	'I see, Cluffe,'said Puddock;'you do n't think it prudent- you think we may n't be happy?'
hvd.hxq8e4	'I- a- oh, dear!—I do n't quite understand is he lost?
hvd.hxq8e4	'Is he found — are you found?'
hvd.hxq8e4	'Is it the rent, Barney?'
hvd.hxq8e4	'Is there a steady woman there — not a child, you know, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	'Is this the tenement called The Mills, formerly in the occupation of the late Charles Nutter- eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	'Now, you look like a body going to be hanged — you do; what's the matter with you, madam?
hvd.hxq8e4	'Oh!- I thought'twas the wood by Lord Mountjoy's,'said Danger- field; and when did it happen?
hvd.hxq8e4	'Robbin'the nets, you spalpeen; if you throw them salmon your hidin'undher your coat into the wather, be the tare- o'-war- • What salmon, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	'Toole, ca n't you?'
hvd.hxq8e4	'Twas a bite for Miles; hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	'Twas a folly; but what folly will not young men do?
hvd.hxq8e4	'Twill be a blessed sight- eh? — when he sits up in that bed, madam, as I trust he may this very night, and speak-- eh??
hvd.hxq8e4	'Twill be a blessed sight- eh? — when he sits up in that bed, madam, as I trust he may this very night, and speak-- eh??
hvd.hxq8e4	'Twill be a blessed sight- eh? — when he sits up in that bed, madam, as I trust he may this very night, and speak-- eh??
hvd.hxq8e4	'What was it — what is it??
hvd.hxq8e4	'What was it — what is it??
hvd.hxq8e4	'tis you?
hvd.hxq8e4	( What?
hvd.hxq8e4	( he looked inquisitively, but there was no answer); I thought, I say, he looked devilish out of sorts, is he- a- ill?
hvd.hxq8e4	* An'how the dickens did you get there?'.
hvd.hxq8e4	* And Calcraft gave her his likeness in miniature,'related the maca- roni, never minding; set round with diamonds, and, will you believe it?
hvd.hxq8e4	* And I'm given to understand, sir, he's to be found occasionally in this town?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And do you mean to tell me you did not hear that vulgar dog Nutter's unmanly jokes?
hvd.hxq8e4	* And has a gentleman been drowned here?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And how is that?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And in what capacity?
hvd.hxq8e4	* And is she really in the coach now?
hvd.hxq8e4	* And suppose, my Lord, we ask these gentlemen to give us a song?
hvd.hxq8e4	* And what about that leedy's neeme, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And what is it, then, my good man?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And what, pray, does a Lieutenant Fireworker mean?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And who's M. M., pray?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* And — and- and- you do n't mean to thay-- why- eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* Break our hearts?
hvd.hxq8e4	* But he do n't remember you?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* Can nothing be done to make him speak?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Could it be the Mattross that was shot in the year'90, as I often heerd, for sthrikin'his captain?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Curse you, Puddock, why — what are you going back for?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Do n't mind the old blackguard, mother dear?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Doctor Toole?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Hang it, you know- poor Mrs. Nutter- eh?"
hvd.hxq8e4	* Heych?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* I do hear, indeed; when did he go?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* I think I do, the old man who limped, and wore the odd black wig?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Perhaps, ma'am, you'd let me see him?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* True, Irons, very true; you, I, and Sturk — the Doctor I mean- are cool fellows, and do n't want for nerve; but I think, do n't you?
hvd.hxq8e4	* You have, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	* You mean — I know you do-- that Palmerstown girl, who has belied me?'
hvd.hxq8e4	* You wo n't have him?
hvd.hxq8e4	* You've heard him express it?
hvd.hxq8e4	* Your precious armour- bearer refuses to act then?'
hvd.hxq8e4	*** What, no money? ” says he.
hvd.hxq8e4	- he said what?-what is it?--what can you prove?
hvd.hxq8e4	- he said what?-what is it?--what can you prove?
hvd.hxq8e4	- he said what?-what is it?--what can you prove?
hvd.hxq8e4	- you really think he's safe?'
hvd.hxq8e4	141 with her mother, the fat woman with the poodle, and the- don't you know?
hvd.hxq8e4	213 you?'
hvd.hxq8e4	275 And when he had got half- way down the aisle, he called back to Irons, in a loud, frank voice- And Martin's not here-- could you say where he is?
hvd.hxq8e4	277 Was ever Lieutenant so devoutly romantic?
hvd.hxq8e4	321 When were these notices served, Doctor??
hvd.hxq8e4	321 When were these notices served, Doctor??
hvd.hxq8e4	389 No convulsions, ma'am??
hvd.hxq8e4	389 No convulsions, ma'am??
hvd.hxq8e4	39 Have you ever put a marrowfat pea in it, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	441"And where is he, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	55-long hair or short hair, or( a hiccough) no hair at all, is n't it nature's doing, I ask you my darlin'Puddock, is n't it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	66 Why,"says he, “ do you mean to tell me you do n't want money?"
hvd.hxq8e4	89-I thought, d’ye see, just now, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	?
hvd.hxq8e4	? — he asked.

hvd.hxq8e4	?-and, “ Where's the pot- house they call the Salmon House?--doing a good business- ch?'
hvd.hxq8e4	?-and, “ Where's the pot- house they call the Salmon House?--doing a good business- ch?'
hvd.hxq8e4	?-and, “ Where's the pot- house they call the Salmon House?--doing a good business- ch?'
hvd.hxq8e4	A good many of your corps there, Major?
hvd.hxq8e4	A widow — is not she?'
hvd.hxq8e4	An'oh, Masther Richard, is it in airnest?
hvd.hxq8e4	An'you're there wid shoes on your feet?'
hvd.hxq8e4	An'you, av coorse, want to stop it?
hvd.hxq8e4	And Doctor Pell said in his usual tall way, as they came out- How long ago, sir?!
hvd.hxq8e4	And Mag knows nothing of all this?"
hvd.hxq8e4	And as for my displeasure, sir, who said I was displeased?
hvd.hxq8e4	And could you, or could she, have uttered a more utterly damnable lie?
hvd.hxq8e4	And do you really think it will?
hvd.hxq8e4	And does not she look handsome, Gertie?
hvd.hxq8e4	And everybody who met any one else asked him — Any news about Nutter, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	And he's been near ten minutes this way?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And how does your patient, Doctor?
hvd.hxq8e4	And if I were, what could my displeasure be to you?
hvd.hxq8e4	And is Pell comin'out to- night?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And may n't Mrs. Mack stay in the room with us?
hvd.hxq8e4	And now, boys, d’ye see?
hvd.hxq8e4	And now, where's Mistress Sarah Harty?
hvd.hxq8e4	And old Dalton, do n't you remember old Dalton, Miss Lily?!
hvd.hxq8e4	And rat it, sir, how can I help it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And see, get me a pinch or two of that thistle- down, d’ye see?
hvd.hxq8e4	And she played a march that had somehow a dash of the pathetic in it, in a sort of reverie, and she said: Sally, do you know that?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And she really does princely things- doesn't she?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what did you see, Lily- I know you'll tell me truly — when you came into the parlour, as I stood by the window?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what do you propose to do for poor Mistress Sally Nutter?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And what do you propose to do?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what in the name of Bedlam, sir, does he mean by walking about the town with a hole through his- his--- what's his name?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what is this new business of Doctor Sturk?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what mischief have you been about — eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what says the Major to it?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what shall I ask her?
hvd.hxq8e4	And what's yours?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And where do you think he is do you think it's business?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And where is that wretch, Glascock, and that double murderer, Archer; where is he?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And who's got it now?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And why did you send for Doctor O'Toole, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	And why in the world did n't you send for me, when you wanted to discourse Mary Match- well?
hvd.hxq8e4	And why not?'
hvd.hxq8e4	And you have been ill, Miss Lilias?
hvd.hxq8e4	And- a- Lieutenant Puddock, you were saying-- a-- tell me- now- where was it?
hvd.hxq8e4	And- and- am I at liberty to mention it?
hvd.hxq8e4	Anything in the paper, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	Are these always illusions?
hvd.hxq8e4	Are you going to the in- quest?
hvd.hxq8e4	Are you mad, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	Are you to dine with Colonel Strafford to- day??
hvd.hxq8e4	Are you to dine with Colonel Strafford to- day??
hvd.hxq8e4	Are you,'said Aunt Becky — do you, Gertrude — do you like Lieutenant Puddock?
hvd.hxq8e4	At last, Dangerfield said over his shoulder, with the same amused look,'Do you remember Charles Archer?
hvd.hxq8e4	Ay, a smouldering wick and a candle if you please; but enclosed in a glass bottle, how the deuce are you to blow it?"
hvd.hxq8e4	Ay, that lady; and who the devil is she?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Barney, dear, are we ruined?
hvd.hxq8e4	Betty, where is he gone?
hvd.hxq8e4	Bleth me — bleth me — my dear O'Flaherty, he'th very ill- where ith the pain?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Break- fast ended, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	But M. M.-- VURTI éolkwcfixing them both with her cold and terrible gaze, said quite intelligibly- What's your name?
hvd.hxq8e4	But are you certain?'
hvd.hxq8e4	But he's not- he's not drowned?'
hvd.hxq8e4	But what could she do?
hvd.hxq8e4	But what did that sig- nify?
hvd.hxq8e4	But what need I care?
hvd.hxq8e4	But you do know him?
hvd.hxq8e4	But, you know, Charles is not a fellow to be trifled with — hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	Can you bring to mind the nature of the document?'.
hvd.hxq8e4	Can you conjecture, my dear?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Can you guess?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Can you point him out, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Can you swim?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Captain Deve- reux, have you not been of late remiss in the duty of private prayer?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Captain Devereux, why will you doubt me?
hvd.hxq8e4	Captain Richard Devereux read this simple little record through, and then he said:- Oh, sir, may I have it — isn't it mine?
hvd.hxq8e4	Charles Archer?
hvd.hxq8e4	Charles Nutter?
hvd.hxq8e4	Charles?
hvd.hxq8e4	Cluffe?
hvd.hxq8e4	Come in, will you?
hvd.hxq8e4	Come, come, my dear madam, is it money??
hvd.hxq8e4	Come, come, my dear madam, is it money??
hvd.hxq8e4	Compared with human tresses?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Conscience, honour, veracity, ma'am — but why should I say any more-- don't you know me, my dear Mrs. Mack?
hvd.hxq8e4	Cream very choice, sir?-_I do n't tell'em so though( a wink); it might not improve it, you know.
hvd.hxq8e4	Danger of what, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	Dangerfield pondered also uncomfortably for a minute, but an- swered nothing; on the contrary, he demanded-"And what then, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Dangerfield- Dangerfield- Dangerfield- no; or could it be that row at Taunton?
hvd.hxq8e4	Dark?
hvd.hxq8e4	Did ever woman refuse a secret?
hvd.hxq8e4	Did n't you?
hvd.hxq8e4	Did you ever see such a fish?
hvd.hxq8e4	Did you ever see the like?
hvd.hxq8e4	Do n't you know the differ, sir, between a threat an ’ a warnin', you bos- thoon?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you hear him?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you know him, Dr. Toole?
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you like a belle or beldame best, Sir Launcelot?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you mean it?!
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you tell me so?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you think Dr. Walsingham, of his charity, would give the poor fellow free quarters at the Elms?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you think he hears?
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you think it's a thing to be learnt in an afternoon out of the bottom of an old cookery- book?
hvd.hxq8e4	Do you wish the young huzzy — do you — to marry Lieutenant Puddock?
hvd.hxq8e4	Does he keep a shop?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Does none o’yez see who's in it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Does the king trample his crown?
hvd.hxq8e4	Dominick!-he's got a brain fever, my dear.?
hvd.hxq8e4	Dr. Dillon not yet arrived, madam?
hvd.hxq8e4	Dr. Toole anywhere about, or have you seen Sturk?
hvd.hxq8e4	Drink, will you?-ay- I'll give you a draught- a draught of air will cool you.
hvd.hxq8e4	Dublin man?-or'--- Born and bred in Dublin, your honour.'
hvd.hxq8e4	D’ye mind?
hvd.hxq8e4	D’ye see me?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Eh, the soldier, is he?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	Elkanah says to his wife,"am not I better unto thee than ten sons? ” As though he favoured her more for that which she thought herself despised.
hvd.hxq8e4	Five minutes after: “ Who the plague are these fellows in the Phoenix?
hvd.hxq8e4	From whom, then, and what?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Ha, doctor; how goes it?-any thing new- anything on the Freeman??
hvd.hxq8e4	Ha, doctor; how goes it?-any thing new- anything on the Freeman??
hvd.hxq8e4	Ha, doctor; how goes it?-any thing new- anything on the Freeman??
hvd.hxq8e4	Had he heard of the poison, and did he know more of the working of such things than, perhaps, the doctors did?
hvd.hxq8e4	Had she bacon in the house?
hvd.hxq8e4	Has he had a sweat, ma'am?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Has the Dublin doctor come?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Have you read it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Have you the claret bottle in the room?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Have you, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	He might last two or three days,, or even a week- what did it signify?-what was be better than a corpse already?
hvd.hxq8e4	He might last two or three days,, or even a week- what did it signify?-what was be better than a corpse already?
hvd.hxq8e4	He put the note in his pocket, and looked puzzled, and then he asked- • Is he any way related to you, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	He took Aunt Becky's hand; “ Am I, too, forgiven??
hvd.hxq8e4	He took Aunt Becky's hand; “ Am I, too, forgiven??
hvd.hxq8e4	He was hurt then, I knew it'—he thought — who's attending him and why is he out- and was it a flesh- wound-- or where was it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	He!-why—'he? what the deuce had Devereux to do with it — was he vexed?-A fiddlestick!
hvd.hxq8e4	He!-why—'he? what the deuce had Devereux to do with it — was he vexed?-A fiddlestick!
hvd.hxq8e4	He's no great things, to be sure; but what better can we get?
hvd.hxq8e4	He's not so much hurt- eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	He?
hvd.hxq8e4	Hey- Sturk?
hvd.hxq8e4	Hey?-don't be uneasy.
hvd.hxq8e4	Hey?-ho!
hvd.hxq8e4	His wife wishes the operation; here's her note; and I'll give you five hundred guineas and- what are you here for?
hvd.hxq8e4	Ho! — Drummer?
hvd.hxq8e4	How came it he was not summoned?'
hvd.hxq8e4	How came that?
hvd.hxq8e4	How did he get himself taken, d- n him again?
hvd.hxq8e4	How different the company they kept some ninety or a hun- dred years ago?
hvd.hxq8e4	How different, sir, is my fate from others?
hvd.hxq8e4	How does the patient?
hvd.hxq8e4	How is it that she interests me, and yet repels me so easily?
hvd.hxq8e4	How much of it, pray, sir,( to O'Flaherty,) have you got in your stomach?'
hvd.hxq8e4	How the brutes howl over their liquor?'
hvd.hxq8e4	How would you like to go off like poor old Peggy Slowe- eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	How's Sturk, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	How?-why there's a change, is n't there?"
hvd.hxq8e4	How?-why there's a change, is n't there?"
hvd.hxq8e4	I ca n't exactly — in fact, at all bring to mind what the crime was: forgery, or perjury- eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	I do n't know — what can I do?
hvd.hxq8e4	I hope they gave you-eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	I over- estimated, myself, my influence with the young lady; but why speak of your departure, sir, so soon?
hvd.hxq8e4	I say, I may as well hear it, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	I think about the pearl cross- don't you?
hvd.hxq8e4	I think there's some little action still; only do n't talk, or shift your feet; and just- just, do be quiet??
hvd.hxq8e4	I think there's some little action still; only do n't talk, or shift your feet; and just- just, do be quiet??
hvd.hxq8e4	I think you'd like to see her, Dan?'
hvd.hxq8e4	I vow I begin to think I should make a very respectable nursetender,* And what the dickens brings him up here?
hvd.hxq8e4	I'd a put her across my knee and no — do you say?
hvd.hxq8e4	I'd have to pay him, and where's the money to come from??
hvd.hxq8e4	I'd have to pay him, and where's the money to come from??
hvd.hxq8e4	I'm Mrs. Nutter, and you're my servants, do ye mind?
hvd.hxq8e4	I'm suffer- ing a little pain, sir; will you be so good as to lend me your assist- ance?
hvd.hxq8e4	I'm sure of my liberty: what do you think of that — hey??
hvd.hxq8e4	I'm sure of my liberty: what do you think of that — hey??
hvd.hxq8e4	I- I wish you'd strike me, sir- you're too kind and patient, sir, and so pure and how have I spoken to you?
hvd.hxq8e4	If I write a letter, and place it open in your hand — a letter, sir- to Miss Lily — will you read it to her, or else let her read it?
hvd.hxq8e4	If she's happy, why should n't I- why should n't I?
hvd.hxq8e4	If the first snap at the critical mo- ment, should we bow- string our precious throttles with the pieces?
hvd.hxq8e4	If you draw, sir, there's one prospect up the river, by the mills-- upon my conscience- but you do n't draw?
hvd.hxq8e4	Is help gone??
hvd.hxq8e4	Is help gone??
hvd.hxq8e4	Is it Father Roach that's in it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Is it a magnetic force, or a high histrionic vein in some men, that makes them so persuasive and overpowering, and their passion so formidable?
hvd.hxq8e4	Is it sad?
hvd.hxq8e4	Is n't it the master's brogues?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Is n't there?-pooh!-why there must be lots of fellows at hand.
hvd.hxq8e4	Is that what you mane?
hvd.hxq8e4	Is the man mad?
hvd.hxq8e4	Is there any one in the town who knows the river, and could show me the fishing?-Oh, the clerk!
hvd.hxq8e4	Is there anything, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	It ca n't change events — tis only a question of to- day or to- morrow- whim — a maggot- hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	It was endorsed upon the back, ‘ For Mrs. Macnamara, with the humble duty of her obedient servant, M. M. What's that, sirrah?'
hvd.hxq8e4	It would not do to go off and leave affairs thus; a message might follow me, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	Larry,'he cried to the waiter, the Nightingale Club is there, is it not?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Listen to me: I'll manage that lady, Mrs. Mary- what's her name?-Match- well, I'll take her in hands, and- whisper now.'
hvd.hxq8e4	Look at the river — is not it feminine?
hvd.hxq8e4	Lord Castlemallard's agency, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	M.'• To find a husband for Mag, eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	May I ask you, if, without leaving this town, you can lay your finger on him, sir??
hvd.hxq8e4	May I ask you, if, without leaving this town, you can lay your finger on him, sir??
hvd.hxq8e4	Mervyn?
hvd.hxq8e4	Miss Chattesworth, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	Mr. Lowe — I did not see you- I havn't hurt you, I hope?
hvd.hxq8e4	Mrs. Molly told me — well, now, the most surprising things; and do you actually believe she's a conjuror?
hvd.hxq8e4	Mrs. S. did not venture her usual'would my Barney like a dish of tea??
hvd.hxq8e4	Mrs. S. did not venture her usual'would my Barney like a dish of tea??
hvd.hxq8e4	Murdered my father, and married my grandmother?
hvd.hxq8e4	My dear Puddock,'whispered Devereux, in his ear, surely you would not kill Nutter to oblige two such brutes as these?'
hvd.hxq8e4	No- I – I didn't- I did not tell, sir- what is it to me??
hvd.hxq8e4	No- I – I didn't- I did not tell, sir- what is it to me??
hvd.hxq8e4	Not what, thir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Now, have you got all things ready-- you have, of course, a sheet well aired?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Nutter?
hvd.hxq8e4	Och?
hvd.hxq8e4	Of course, madam, he's safe-- what's to ail him??
hvd.hxq8e4	Of course, madam, he's safe-- what's to ail him??
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, Dan, a day's so long- how am I to get over the time?
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, Doctor, Doctor, do you think it will?
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, he was a great deal worse;'tis a vast deal better now; is n't it, Doctor Toole?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, is that all?
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, pray, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, sir, sure you have n't?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh, we could have told you that; eh, Puddock?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh- eh?-the instrument?-confound it!
hvd.hxq8e4	Oh- eh?-the instrument?-confound it!
hvd.hxq8e4	One o'clock- hey?!
hvd.hxq8e4	Open to him, madam, I recommend you,'said Dirty Davy, in a hard whisper;'will I go?
hvd.hxq8e4	Or even a message — a spoken message — will you give it?
hvd.hxq8e4	Or maybe you'd accept iv a couple o'bottles of claret or canaries?
hvd.hxq8e4	Or was he at Dick Luscome's duel?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Puddock could only look at him, and then said, quite meekly-"Well, and my dear thir, what on earth had we better do?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Sally- what ails you, sweetheart?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Saluting both as he advanced, Dangerfield asked- Nothing amiss, I hope, gentlemen?'
hvd.hxq8e4	See him?
hvd.hxq8e4	See, now,'said Davy, “ Madam Nutter's not serious- you're not, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	See- nearer- d'ye see, there's two converging lines- d'ye see, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	Shall it be punch?"
hvd.hxq8e4	She gave that burglar, would you believe it, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	She is come to thee as to a sanc- tuary to defend her from hurt, and canst thou hurt her thyself?
hvd.hxq8e4	She looked at him in a way that plainly said,'what note?
hvd.hxq8e4	She said she said- the- the--oh, you do n't know • She- who?
hvd.hxq8e4	She's a conjuror, is she?
hvd.hxq8e4	She's impertinent, and often nearly insup- portable; but is n't she the most placable creature on earth?
hvd.hxq8e4	So away goes Dalton to the hall- door, and he calls “ who's there? ” and no answer.
hvd.hxq8e4	So will you, through whatever channel you think best, let poor Mrs. Sturk know that she may draw upon me for a hundred pounds, if she requires it?
hvd.hxq8e4	Speak out, sirrah; whom do you come from??
hvd.hxq8e4	Speak out, sirrah; whom do you come from??
hvd.hxq8e4	Sturk riding into town, reined in his generous beast, and called up to the little Lieutenant, “ Well, he's taken it, eh??
hvd.hxq8e4	Sturk riding into town, reined in his generous beast, and called up to the little Lieutenant, “ Well, he's taken it, eh??
hvd.hxq8e4	Sturk thought he heard Toole's well- known, brisk voice, under his windows, exclaim, • What is the dirty beggar doing there?
hvd.hxq8e4	Suppose he greets you with a message — and you do n't care to hear it?
hvd.hxq8e4	Suppose we send down to his house, and fetch him here, and learn all about it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Suppose you purge his head again, Puddock?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Sweet creature, have they killed you- my angel; what is it;—where are you, sweetheart? — where can she be?
hvd.hxq8e4	Sweet creature, have they killed you- my angel; what is it;—where are you, sweetheart? — where can she be?
hvd.hxq8e4	That card?
hvd.hxq8e4	That foolish, ungrateful person, Lieutenant Puddock; what can you propose to yourself, brother, in bringing Lieutenant Puddock here?
hvd.hxq8e4	That year, and somewhere about the 24th October, there broke out?
hvd.hxq8e4	The Dublin doctor has n't come, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	The blue room, hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	The mistress — where's she?'
hvd.hxq8e4	The rent?
hvd.hxq8e4	The royal arms cut in bold relief in the broad stone over the porch- where, pray, is that stone now, the memento of its old viceregal dignity?
hvd.hxq8e4	The what, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	Then Toole rose erect, but still on his knees, “ Will you be quiet there?
hvd.hxq8e4	Then he looked grave, and shrugged, and shook his head, and said A bad business, sir; and where's his poor wife?"
hvd.hxq8e4	Then we three had it; and Sturk goes next; and now I and Irons- Irons and I — which goes first?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Then, I suppose, if ever, and whenever he asks you the question himself, you'll have no hesitation in telling him so?!
hvd.hxq8e4	Then, I suppose, if you were not to see me for some time, or maybe for ever, the village folks wo n't break their hearts after Dick Devereux?
hvd.hxq8e4	They ought to be looked after, I dare say, and I'll see the poor master's attorney to- day, d'ye mind?
hvd.hxq8e4	Think?
hvd.hxq8e4	Thwallowed?-thwallowed it!'
hvd.hxq8e4	To be sure; what else should it be?
hvd.hxq8e4	Toole's heart misgave him, Well, how is it?
hvd.hxq8e4	Toole, I presume, may dress my arm?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Turning all the pretty fellows'heads, I warrant you- eh!-turning their heads?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Up bounced Mr. Prosser, very much frightened, and locked the door, crying,'Who's there??
hvd.hxq8e4	Up bounced Mr. Prosser, very much frightened, and locked the door, crying,'Who's there??
hvd.hxq8e4	Urgent, however, it was- wasn't it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Very like-- was he alone?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Vex him, darling?
hvd.hxq8e4	Was he the sheriff's deputy at Chester, when that rascally Jew- tailor followed me?
hvd.hxq8e4	Was it a bill?
hvd.hxq8e4	Was it spirit?
hvd.hxq8e4	Was n't it Gay that wrote the “ Beggar's Opera? ” Ay!
hvd.hxq8e4	Well, and what do you think- a queer night for the purpose, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	Well, my good sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	Well, sir, I see exactly, sir, what you'd ask: “ Is the certificate genuine? ”).
hvd.hxq8e4	Well, suppose there's a hundred chances to one the trepan kills him on the spot what then?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Well, well, may n't I chance to see you, maybe; may n't I look at you marching, Masther Richard, at a distance only?
hvd.hxq8e4	Well?
hvd.hxq8e4	Well? ” said Devereux, by this time recovering breath, as the 46 THE HOUSE BY THE CHURCH- YARD.
hvd.hxq8e4	What a cursed fool I was when I came here and saw those beasts, and knew them, not to turn back again, and leave them to possess their paradise?
hvd.hxq8e4	What ails you, man?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What am I to do with it?-hang it.
hvd.hxq8e4	What book is that?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What can we do but go through with it?
hvd.hxq8e4	What care I?
hvd.hxq8e4	What d'ye mean, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What did she allow me all that time?-not so much as that crust- ha!
hvd.hxq8e4	What do you mean?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What doctor?
hvd.hxq8e4	What d’ye look at, sir; d'ye think it's what I murdered any one?
hvd.hxq8e4	What frightens you?"
hvd.hxq8e4	What funeral, darling?
hvd.hxq8e4	What gentleman is there of broken fortunes, undefined rights, and in search of evidence, without a legal adviser of some sort?
hvd.hxq8e4	What have we to fear?
hvd.hxq8e4	What is it Mr. Dangerfield?
hvd.hxq8e4	What mischief have you been about, I say, young gentlewoman?
hvd.hxq8e4	What o'clock is it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What ogling, sister Becky?!
hvd.hxq8e4	What on earth is Hogan about?
hvd.hxq8e4	What over?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What say you, Mistress Chattesworth?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What sort is the wife, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	What talk can be idler?
hvd.hxq8e4	What the devil, sir, do you mean??
hvd.hxq8e4	What the devil, sir, do you mean??
hvd.hxq8e4	What the plague are you doing now?'
hvd.hxq8e4	What the plague do you mean, sir?"
hvd.hxq8e4	What the plague else could they both mean by quizzing Cluffe about her?
hvd.hxq8e4	What the plague's a clepsydra??
hvd.hxq8e4	What the plague's a clepsydra??
hvd.hxq8e4	What the plague's this hubbub and hullo? ” he cried.
hvd.hxq8e4	What to- morrow?
hvd.hxq8e4	What would the doctors say??
hvd.hxq8e4	What would the doctors say??
hvd.hxq8e4	What's that?
hvd.hxq8e4	What's that?
hvd.hxq8e4	When is my miserable probation to end?
hvd.hxq8e4	Where am I going?-nowhere-- any- where.
hvd.hxq8e4	Where was the good of my poor dear mother?
hvd.hxq8e4	Where's Cluffe?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Which of them opens the chest of drawers in your master's bed- chamber facing the window?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Who are you, man, that dare shut my own door in my face?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Who are you, sir, who thus think fit to address me, who am by blood and education as good a gentle- man as any alive?
hvd.hxq8e4	Who could tell what horrid face might be looking in close to her as she passed, secure in the darkness and that drifting white lace veil of snow?
hvd.hxq8e4	Who from?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Who made or mended these shoes?
hvd.hxq8e4	Who plastered his head, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	Who said what?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Who — what's the matter?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Who's that?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Who's there?
hvd.hxq8e4	Whose footprint is that do you know it??
hvd.hxq8e4	Whose footprint is that do you know it??
hvd.hxq8e4	Why are you so trou- bled with vapours and blue devils?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Why do n't you play Macheath?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why do n't you spake, sor- r- r?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why is this perverse mystery persisted in?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why not, Misther Mattocks?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why should I desire to put you out of the world, if you're innocent?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why should we be afraid to speak of those of whom we think so continually?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why the divil will you go on buying our eggs from that dirty old sinner, Poll Delany?'
hvd.hxq8e4	Why the plague did he ask me here?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why the plague do you come at these robbing hours?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why was n't he drowned, d--- n him?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why wo n't she have him?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, Aunt Rebecca herself had never married, and was she not all the happier of her freedom?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, curse you, woman, do you think'tis to rob you I mean?--'tisn't a present even- only a loan.
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, do n't you see?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, man, think-what is there for me?-all my best stakes I've lost already; and I'm fast losing myself.
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, then, is it about Charles you're crying?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why, you know- don't you?
hvd.hxq8e4	Why,'tis a printed card- there's hundreds of them-- how d'ye know one from t'other, wisehead?

hvd.hxq8e4	You are, then, really going?
hvd.hxq8e4	You do n't know; raly and truly now, you do n't know?'
hvd.hxq8e4	You do n't remember Lady Dunoran?-pooh, pooh, what am I thinking of?
hvd.hxq8e4	You do n't remember Lady Dunoran?-pooh, pooh, what am I thinking of?

hvd.hxq8e4	You know who I am??
hvd.hxq8e4	You observe that?'
hvd.hxq8e4	You remember him, you say, Irons?'.
hvd.hxq8e4	You remember the bill of fare- don't you?-at the Lord Mayor's entertainment in London.'
hvd.hxq8e4	You want to have him speak?
hvd.hxq8e4	You were a resident in the town, then?'
hvd.hxq8e4	You're cold, Nan; where's your cloak and riding hood?'
hvd.hxq8e4	You're the clerk- eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	You've heard ill of me?
hvd.hxq8e4	You've heard the report, sir- eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	You've let out the fire I suppose?
hvd.hxq8e4	a yell and a scuffle Juno, drop it, you slut — or • Cæsar, you blackguard, where are you going?
hvd.hxq8e4	an honest, worthy man, is he?
hvd.hxq8e4	an ’ who poisoned me, my tight little fellow?'
hvd.hxq8e4	and his name, pray?
hvd.hxq8e4	and not afraid?
hvd.hxq8e4	and was it you let them in?'
hvd.hxq8e4	and where? what are your plans?'
hvd.hxq8e4	and where? what are your plans?'
hvd.hxq8e4	and why did n't you spake out long ago, you vagabond?"
hvd.hxq8e4	and you're vexed; would you have him anything else?'
hvd.hxq8e4	and, my dear, does she really tell the wonders they say?
hvd.hxq8e4	anything more?
hvd.hxq8e4	by his looks, you know; they ca n't deceive me, and I assure you-* Your house is quiet; are the children out, ma'am?'
hvd.hxq8e4	come now!--what's in your knowledge- box?-out with it.'
hvd.hxq8e4	could not the avenger have pierced me, without smiting my innocent darling?
hvd.hxq8e4	cried little Puddock, with upturned eyes;'but is he really found?
hvd.hxq8e4	cried the General;''tisn't everybody can see my sister to- day, Captain; a very peculiar engagement, eh, Puddock?'
hvd.hxq8e4	dear Miss Walsingham, did you hear the news?'
hvd.hxq8e4	dear aunt, what have I done to deserve so prodigious a suspicion?
hvd.hxq8e4	did n't you hear?
hvd.hxq8e4	do n't you think he's come to an age to take care of himself?
hvd.hxq8e4	do you hear, who's there? ” he shouts, and receiving no answer still.
hvd.hxq8e4	doctor, you think it will kill him??
hvd.hxq8e4	doctor, you think it will kill him??
hvd.hxq8e4	doctor,'gasped poor Mrs. Sturk, holding by the hem of his garment, do you think it will kill him??
hvd.hxq8e4	doctor,'gasped poor Mrs. Sturk, holding by the hem of his garment, do you think it will kill him??
hvd.hxq8e4	eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	for I would like to know, and then whether Nutter or his enemies — you know who I mean — will carry the day — don't you know?
hvd.hxq8e4	for me?
hvd.hxq8e4	for mercy's sake is Cluffe lost?
hvd.hxq8e4	goosy, goosy, gander, where do you wander?'
hvd.hxq8e4	have I?
hvd.hxq8e4	he has?
hvd.hxq8e4	he repeated, looking at Sturk;'where does he live?'
hvd.hxq8e4	hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	if she be not kind to me, what care I for whom she be?
hvd.hxq8e4	in the Park, was it?
hvd.hxq8e4	indeed?'
hvd.hxq8e4	is she gone — is shemis she gone?
hvd.hxq8e4	is that her coming?
hvd.hxq8e4	laughed Cluffe, with a variety of unpleasant meanings; and after a while — And the General knows of it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	lift him very care- fully, d’ye mind?
hvd.hxq8e4	me? – and yet- if she were to leave it- what a queer unmeaning place Chapelizod would be!
hvd.hxq8e4	murmured Black Dillon, with a coarse sneer, did they run the scalpel anywhere over the occiput, ma'am?
hvd.hxq8e4	my darlin'Puddock, everything turns agin me; what'll I do, Puddock, jewel, or what's to become o'me?'
hvd.hxq8e4	my dear, what's happened the poor misthress?
hvd.hxq8e4	my head be smathered, what the puck do I care about it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	neighbour Slowe- give you good- day, sir — not heard it?
hvd.hxq8e4	or had she raised the foul fiend in bodily shape, or showed her Nutter's dead face through the water?
hvd.hxq8e4	or maybe she'd like a fat fowl?
hvd.hxq8e4	or no?
hvd.hxq8e4	repeated Toole;'what's it?--what's what?
hvd.hxq8e4	repeated Toole;'what's it?--what's what?
hvd.hxq8e4	replied General Chattesworth; but, eh, which is he?
hvd.hxq8e4	retorted poor O'Flaherty;"an was n't I the born eеdiot to put them devil's dumplins inside my mouth?
hvd.hxq8e4	said Toole, Like a man that's taken a cold, eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	said she, quite briskly;"why- what have yon done?'
hvd.hxq8e4	sir, she must hear it; but you know she might have heard worse, sir, eh?'
hvd.hxq8e4	sneered Cluffe;"'tis a precious fancy- they are such cheats?
hvd.hxq8e4	story?
hvd.hxq8e4	that, for he must be lower while the cold continues; I alway say that; and I judge very much by the eye; do n't you, Mr. Danger- field?
hvd.hxq8e4	then you've no one with you??
hvd.hxq8e4	then you've no one with you??
hvd.hxq8e4	there are air- drawn circles round her which I can not pass-- and why should I?
hvd.hxq8e4	there's no end of his well, what do you say now to Mr. Danger- field?'
hvd.hxq8e4	they say — but d’ye mind, I do n't know, and faith I do n't believe it- but they do say she's going to be married to-who do you think now??
hvd.hxq8e4	they say — but d’ye mind, I do n't know, and faith I do n't believe it- but they do say she's going to be married to-who do you think now??
hvd.hxq8e4	walk?
hvd.hxq8e4	was there no pitying angel to stay the blow- to plead for a few years more of life?
hvd.hxq8e4	well?-oh, ay, very well, to be sure.
hvd.hxq8e4	what am I to do, Captain, jewel?'
hvd.hxq8e4	what are you, and what business have you here, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	what do you think?'
hvd.hxq8e4	what is it?"
hvd.hxq8e4	what more?'
hvd.hxq8e4	what of that?
hvd.hxq8e4	what would I not have given to speak, were it but ten words, to you?
hvd.hxq8e4	what's the news?'
hvd.hxq8e4	what's to be done??
hvd.hxq8e4	what's to be done??
hvd.hxq8e4	where?'
hvd.hxq8e4	who says so?'
hvd.hxq8e4	who's that?'
hvd.hxq8e4	why did n't you mention that before?
hvd.hxq8e4	with thy fun and thy rascalities, thy strong affec- tions and thy fatal gift of beauty, where does thy head rest now?
hvd.hxq8e4	woman, are you going to take it in, or no??
hvd.hxq8e4	woman, are you going to take it in, or no??
hvd.hxq8e4	you can see that still- game to the back- bone- and- whisht a bit now--- whose the other?'
hvd.hxq8e4	you hear I sometimes drink maybe a glass too much- who does not?

hvd.hxq8e4	your pretty face?
hvd.hxq8e4	· Well?-go on.'
hvd.hxq8e4	‘ And- and- and- what is it?-is it-- do you think-- it's any- thing — anyways — dangerous?'
hvd.hxq8e4	‘ But why wo n't you listen, dear Miss Lilias?
hvd.hxq8e4	‘ Do,'said O'Flaherty,'why is n't it completely Hobson's choice with us?
hvd.hxq8e4	‘ How is the honoured master?'
hvd.hxq8e4	‘ Shall I ask Gertrude Chattesworth to speak to her Aunt Rebecca?"
hvd.hxq8e4	“ A little, sir, maybe?

hvd.hxq8e4	“ An'them two documents, sir, is a fabrication and a forgery, backed up wid false affidavits??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And do you know whose skull that was, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And now, Mr. Adjutant,'said Lowe, “ had not we best examine the ground, and make a search for anything that may lead to a con- viction?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And was his name writ in it, or how was it marked?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And was it very long ago??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And was it very long ago??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And were you — you were n't in the army, then?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And where is this Charles Archer — is he dead or living?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And — why- what can you mean by speaking of him??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ And — why- what can you mean by speaking of him??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ Eh?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ Hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ I see, sir,'said Sturk, very quietly, but looking awfully cadaver- ous; all I want to know, is, how long you think I may live?!
hvd.hxq8e4	“ I'm perfectly satisfied; and so I venture to thay, is Lieutenant O'Flaherty- Is not he going to say something to Nutter?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ I've got your note, and am here in consequence; what can I do??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ I've got your note, and am here in consequence; what can I do??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ In the year'45, eh?- go on.'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ May I poke it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ May I sit near the fire?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ No, truly, madam,'answered the gentleman, Dr. Pell's not coming — is he, Mrs. Sturk??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ No, truly, madam,'answered the gentleman, Dr. Pell's not coming — is he, Mrs. Sturk??
hvd.hxq8e4	“ On the contrary, the ancients held it a blessing; and Pliny declares it to be the greatest happiness of life- how much more should we?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ Say it again, you cowardly sneaking, spying viper; say it again, ca n't you?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ That was one of Lord Castlemallard's houses- eh-- with the bad roof, and manure- heap round the corner?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ That's it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ The Butcher's Wood!-why, what the plague brought him there?'
hvd.hxq8e4	“ There was an angry feeling about the agency, I believe?
hvd.hxq8e4	“ There's Toole crossing the street, will I call him up?"
hvd.hxq8e4	“ What did you see- eh?

hvd.hxq8e4	• Then I'm to presume you've been serious; and I take the liberty to ask how far this affair has proceeded?
hvd.hxq8e4	• There's just one man who sees him, and that's the parish clerk- what's his name? — Zekiel Irons- he sees him.
hvd.hxq8e4	• They are unpleasant- devilish unpleasant-- somewhere in the body, I think, hey?
hvd.hxq8e4	• They're removing the- the-(a long pause) the body, eh?'

hvd.hxq8e4	• Well, sir, and how do you feel?
hvd.hxq8e4	• What is it?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• What, you are sick of the mulligrubs, with eating chopt hay?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• Where the deuce did that broganeer, O'Flaherty, come from?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• Who are you, sir?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• Who are you?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• Who from?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• Who's there?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• Who- I?
hvd.hxq8e4	• Why, there's life?
hvd.hxq8e4	• Will you have one, Nutter?
hvd.hxq8e4	• Will you send, if you please, ma'am, for Doctor- Doctor- thingumee??
hvd.hxq8e4	• Will you send, if you please, ma'am, for Doctor- Doctor- thingumee??
hvd.hxq8e4	• You did not tell that lying story, did you?
hvd.hxq8e4	• You forgive him then, aroon?'
hvd.hxq8e4	• You know me, I believe, sir?
hvd.hxq8e4	• You, I know, were acquainted with- with Charles Archer??
hvd.hxq8e4	• You, I know, were acquainted with- with Charles Archer??
hvd.hxq8e4	•What else can he do?'
hvd.hxq8e4	•What have you done?'
hvd.hxq8e4	•You young gentlemen, are always for drawing upon poor bodies- how would it have gone if I had not looked to myself, sir, and come furnished?
mdp.39015063548971	After Gorman left you, did you meet or see anyone in the garden?
mdp.39015063548971	And Miss Graham — what was her attitude to you?
mdp.39015063548971	And she actually went there?
mdp.39015063548971	And the cook — he's not onto you?
mdp.39015063548971	And the society, Ling?
mdp.39015063548971	And then?
mdp.39015063548971	And when you went out with him? mdp.39015063548971 And when you woke was the knife still on the couch?"
mdp.39015063548971	Any more hints, Mac? mdp.39015063548971 Anyone else in the house, beside the servants?"
mdp.39015063548971	Anyone with her?
mdp.39015063548971	Are you sure of that?
mdp.39015063548971	But New, why did you say the Snake was lost? mdp.39015063548971 But are you on the case?
mdp.39015063548971	But how would that help Lucile, New?
mdp.39015063548971	By which door?
mdp.39015063548971	Can I tell Master what I have seen and heard today?
mdp.39015063548971	Carey, are you sure of this? mdp.39015063548971 Cook onto me?
mdp.39015063548971	Could he see you?
mdp.39015063548971	Could this man have come from the rear of the house without your seeing him?
mdp.39015063548971	D'you think he'd see me? mdp.39015063548971 Did Mrs. West see anyone else about before Gor- man came in?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did she come into the den to wake you?
mdp.39015063548971	Did she spend any time there?
mdp.39015063548971	Did the horror invade our garden, Lucile?
mdp.39015063548971	Did the voices of the two seem angry?
mdp.39015063548971	Did you know the voice, the hands?
mdp.39015063548971	Did you know the voice?
mdp.39015063548971	Did you read all it said?
mdp.39015063548971	Did you stop him? mdp.39015063548971 Do n't you know me, Lucile?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you care to take a hand, or will you wait?
mdp.39015063548971	Do you happen to know if Vera Montjoy made a will?
mdp.39015063548971	Do you know where he is? mdp.39015063548971 Do you know where she went?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you mean I'm lying?
mdp.39015063548971	Do you think she was lying?
mdp.39015063548971	Get it all right?
mdp.39015063548971	Has anyone seen her? mdp.39015063548971 Have they found us out in New York?
mdp.39015063548971	Have you learned anything of the runaways, as you believe them?
mdp.39015063548971	Have you told McFarland?
mdp.39015063548971	Have you traced Lucile Graham and Larry West?
mdp.39015063548971	He told you nothing more about Miss Montjoy?
mdp.39015063548971	He trailed you so soon? mdp.39015063548971 Her resistance seemed genuine?"
mdp.39015063548971	How about the Chinese, Carey? mdp.39015063548971 How can I know?
mdp.39015063548971	How can I tell you? mdp.39015063548971 How could you know?
mdp.39015063548971	How did Newbold Howard work it?
mdp.39015063548971	How did you get here, Lucile?
mdp.39015063548971	How do you mean to get it? mdp.39015063548971 How many more could have easily killed Gorman?"
mdp.39015063548971	How should I know, New? mdp.39015063548971 I understand that the younger Chinese, Moy- Sha- su, was not suspected till today?"
mdp.39015063548971	In that rig, Miss Brent, and with that ankle?
mdp.39015063548971	Is it necessary that I should answer that?
mdp.39015063548971	It does look so, does n't it? mdp.39015063548971 John, have you seen that dagger thing?"
mdp.39015063548971	Just how did you find your mistress?
mdp.39015063548971	Just how do you know that, Farrel? mdp.39015063548971 Just what do you mean, Carey?"
mdp.39015063548971	Knife? mdp.39015063548971 Ling- foy, have you ever heard of this secret society, or of this Moy- Chen- fo?"
mdp.39015063548971	Lucile, when you were alone in the flower room before Farrel surprised you, did you hear or see any- one in the hall, or in the garden?
mdp.39015063548971	May I see the thing you found in the pool, which you believe Chinese? mdp.39015063548971 Miss Brent was on foot?"
mdp.39015063548971	Miss Graham came late to the dance? mdp.39015063548971 Miss Graham?
mdp.39015063548971	Miss Montjoy, are you absolutely certain that Gor- man did not come into the ballroom after Miss Gra- ham ran from the flower room?
mdp.39015063548971	Not a third flight, in this nasty place?
mdp.39015063548971	Oh Larry, ca n't we get away today?
mdp.39015063548971	Perhaps —"Why did you ask, Mac?
mdp.39015063548971	Shall I return with the officer?
mdp.39015063548971	She'd had no telephone call?
mdp.39015063548971	So, you listened? mdp.39015063548971 That day?
mdp.39015063548971	The maids would n't stay up till then, would they? mdp.39015063548971 The next night you tried to find the weapon?"
mdp.39015063548971	Then I did n't kill her?'.' mdp.39015063548971 Then you will help me, even if Larry wo n't let me go back?"
mdp.39015063548971	Think what, Ling?
mdp.39015063548971	This is the urgent matter you referred to? mdp.39015063548971 This was before Gorman was stabbed?"
mdp.39015063548971	To shielding her at my expense? mdp.39015063548971 Were Flora and John engaged before he went to China, New?
mdp.39015063548971	What about Lucile?
mdp.39015063548971	What do you mean, Carey? mdp.39015063548971 What do you mean, down the valley?
mdp.39015063548971	What else should I mean? mdp.39015063548971 What was her attitude to you?"
mdp.39015063548971	What was it you had to tell me, Homer?
mdp.39015063548971	What's on your mind, boy?
mdp.39015063548971	What's that you said, New? mdp.39015063548971 What?
mdp.39015063548971	What? mdp.39015063548971 When was that?
mdp.39015063548971	Where have you been all evening? mdp.39015063548971 Where is Miss Brent?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where is she?
mdp.39015063548971	Where is the thing? mdp.39015063548971 Where was the call from?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where's your taxi? mdp.39015063548971 Who called you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Who discovered this murder?
mdp.39015063548971	Who else? mdp.39015063548971 Who found Gorman?"
mdp.39015063548971	Who's arguing now? mdp.39015063548971 Why carried?
mdp.39015063548971	Why come to me for that, if nothing happened?
mdp.39015063548971	Why did you choose the famous Snake? mdp.39015063548971 Why not?
mdp.39015063548971	Why should you think that?
mdp.39015063548971	Why were you looking for him?
mdp.39015063548971	Would you know his voice if you heard it again?
mdp.39015063548971	You ca n't mean Larry?
mdp.39015063548971	You caught no words, no names?
mdp.39015063548971	You did n't see the paper, Larry, when you ordered lunch?
mdp.39015063548971	You have n't heard? mdp.39015063548971 You know the layout?
mdp.39015063548971	You mean McFarland's found Lucile?
mdp.39015063548971	You mean that O'Connell's on some Chinese case?
mdp.39015063548971	You mean the Chink? mdp.39015063548971 You mean, have I decided to retract my identifica- tion of Miss Graham?"
mdp.39015063548971	You said you'd planned all this, and your behavior — How did you plan, New, so as not to be suspected?
mdp.39015063548971	You saw Chen- fo?
mdp.39015063548971	You see? mdp.39015063548971 You think he suspects her?"
mdp.39015063548971	You were out all evening?
mdp.39015063548971	You will come tomorrow?
mdp.39015063548971	You're certain you saw no one else about — no woman?
mdp.39015063548971	You're deter- mined on the plan you outlined before I heard the facts?
mdp.39015063548971	You're going to break this case yourself, Carey?
mdp.39015063548971	You're having the butler watched, of course?
mdp.39015063548971	You're sure of that? mdp.39015063548971 You've talked to John?"
mdp.39015063548971	124 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS McFarland asked:"You say I am to talk with Ainsley?
mdp.39015063548971	181 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS"What did O'Connell want?
mdp.39015063548971	57 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS"Over the elopement?
mdp.39015063548971	A clever devil, the Chinese, but there was one point —"Sha- su, when did you lift your mistress'body from the floor and lay it on the divan?
mdp.39015063548971	Ainsley, why have n't you told me you visited Gorman's body in the flower room, and where did you go in your car tonight?"
mdp.39015063548971	Ainsley?"
mdp.39015063548971	Am I to go after her?"
mdp.39015063548971	And of West's elopement?
mdp.39015063548971	And that hand print — which wound had covered that small hand with blood?
mdp.39015063548971	And then?
mdp.39015063548971	And what do you mean by'seeing to it?'"
mdp.39015063548971	And why do you seem afraid of me, avoid my touch?
mdp.39015063548971	Any idea, either of you, where she might have lit?"
mdp.39015063548971	Anything interesting to tell me about Vera?"
mdp.39015063548971	Are you sure you slipped him, Mac?"
mdp.39015063548971	Are you sure, Carey?"
mdp.39015063548971	Are you?"
mdp.39015063548971	At last he asked slowly, coolly,"What has the Chinese paper knife to do with Lucile, or Vera?"
mdp.39015063548971	Before Mac found the body?
mdp.39015063548971	Before you called me, or after?"
mdp.39015063548971	But even that is —""You searched the pool last night?
mdp.39015063548971	But first, did Lucile really leave?"
mdp.39015063548971	But must we have a guide?
mdp.39015063548971	But why of the Chinese paper knife?
mdp.39015063548971	But why should Sha- su be looking for her?
mdp.39015063548971	But would she need delay now?
mdp.39015063548971	Can I see you alone?"
mdp.39015063548971	Carey come yet?"
mdp.39015063548971	Could you find him?
mdp.39015063548971	Could you see him on your first approach to this room?"
mdp.39015063548971	Dagger?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did Farrel know if Lucile had really gone?
mdp.39015063548971	Did Miss Montjoy have visitors tonight, beside the unknown man?
mdp.39015063548971	Did he bring Lucile back?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did n't he get it when he fell dead?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did she also seem wor- ried, unhappy?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did she see Lucile run from the flower room and stop beside the pool?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did she see you, speak to you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did the Ainsleys know that, or Newbold Howard, or anyone?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did they tell you why we want you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did you ask for Miss Montjoy?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did you see him the night Gorman was killed?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did you suspect the knife had been found?"
mdp.39015063548971	Did you?
mdp.39015063548971	Do n't go over it —""It's justice you're after, Vera?
mdp.39015063548971	Do n't you read the papers?
mdp.39015063548971	Do you know much about her history?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you know now who killed Gorman?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you mean he was stabbed with that paper knife?
mdp.39015063548971	Do you remember seeing that treasured specimen of Newbold Howard's, the Chinese paper knife?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you still accuse Miss Graham?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you think she killed Gorman?"
mdp.39015063548971	Do you think the Automaton sus- pects her?"
mdp.39015063548971	Farrel scarcely knew John Ainsley's voice:"McFarland there?
mdp.39015063548971	Farrel's quiet voice asked,"Which way was Sha- su headed?
mdp.39015063548971	Find the light switch, will you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Fix it up for me with the Automaton, will you?"
mdp.39015063548971	From the po- lice?"
mdp.39015063548971	Get it all right?"
mdp.39015063548971	Give him Ling's report, will you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Had he done right to let this dream rush go through?
mdp.39015063548971	Had she un- derrated him?
mdp.39015063548971	Had the Automaton searched last 46 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS night?
mdp.39015063548971	Had the head wound happened in the death fall or earlier?
mdp.39015063548971	Had the queer cuss sensed his meaning, wondered Farrel?
mdp.39015063548971	Has Larry been heard from?"
mdp.39015063548971	Has the Chinese operative reported?
mdp.39015063548971	Have a drink, Henry?"
mdp.39015063548971	Have n't you been afraid yourself, John?"
mdp.39015063548971	Have the two Moys or any member of this secret organization ever seen you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Have you any idea as to where he may have taken his wife?
mdp.39015063548971	Have you called the police?
mdp.39015063548971	Have you it with you?"
mdp.39015063548971	He's — Who's that?"
mdp.39015063548971	His amazed voice asked McFarland,"Howard got away?
mdp.39015063548971	His build, his clothes, even if you did not see his face?"
mdp.39015063548971	His metallic voice broke in,"It's not that damned Farrel?"
mdp.39015063548971	His suspicion leaping, Farrel asked,"She was out there, last night?"
mdp.39015063548971	How about Mrs. West?
mdp.39015063548971	How can we surely know the child is — yours?"
mdp.39015063548971	How do you classify that?"
mdp.39015063548971	How do you know that?"
mdp.39015063548971	How is she?
mdp.39015063548971	How would you know it?"
mdp.39015063548971	I never thought —""How could you help it?
mdp.39015063548971	I order you to leave the house 1"69 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS Silence, that enraged Vera:"Why do n't you speak?
mdp.39015063548971	I warned you —""What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548971	I —"A woman's voice called from the hall doorway,"Is Lucile here?"
mdp.39015063548971	If she thought that, who in God's world would n't?
mdp.39015063548971	If the old grouch did n't care, why should he worry?
mdp.39015063548971	In the alley?"
mdp.39015063548971	In this one she had been with the Automaton in the flower room right after he found Gorman's body — or was it after?
mdp.39015063548971	Is other evidence mentioned?"
mdp.39015063548971	Is she capable of lying?
mdp.39015063548971	Is the person still with you?"
mdp.39015063548971	It's a hell of a note, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063548971	It's a queer situation, ours, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063548971	John said that, did n't he?
mdp.39015063548971	John strode close to him:"Good God, New, what got into you?
mdp.39015063548971	Just how keen is your boy Ling?
mdp.39015063548971	Just what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063548971	Just what do you think I suppressed?"
mdp.39015063548971	Just when did you last see it?"
mdp.39015063548971	Know where he goes?"
mdp.39015063548971	Knowing her, why are you worried?"
mdp.39015063548971	Larry asked,"Who are you?
mdp.39015063548971	Let me see Flora later, will you?
mdp.39015063548971	Mac's harsh tones asked,"All clear?"
mdp.39015063548971	May I come to you tonight, Carey?"
mdp.39015063548971	May I go in with these?"
mdp.39015063548971	May I see it?
mdp.39015063548971	McFarland asked,"What time of day was that?"
mdp.39015063548971	McFarland asked,"You never suspected Howard?"
mdp.39015063548971	McFarland asked,"You threw the Chinese paper knife in the pool?"
mdp.39015063548971	McFarland asked,"You're certain the Chinese did not hear or see you?"
mdp.39015063548971	McFarland broke his story,"Do you know anything about the Chinese butler, Farrel?"
mdp.39015063548971	McFarland's harsh voice asked,"You knew the voice?"
mdp.39015063548971	Might either man have carried it to another room, and forgotten?
mdp.39015063548971	Miss Montjoy, what does Mrs. Ains- ley know of Gorman that would so alarm her when she saw his body?"
mdp.39015063548971	Moy- Chen- fo —""You're sure he never saw you, Ling?"
mdp.39015063548971	Must you tes- tify to what you saw?"
mdp.39015063548971	Newbold cried angrily,"Why drag my sister into this?"
mdp.39015063548971	Newbold had flushed darkly:"Surely you do n't need that, McFarland?"
mdp.39015063548971	Newbold started visibly, glanced swiftly at John, then back at the Automaton and cried incredulously,"Vera, dead?
mdp.39015063548971	Newbold's cheerful voice called from below,"Where are you, Insect?
mdp.39015063548971	No woman?"
mdp.39015063548971	No?
mdp.39015063548971	Not of what frightened Vera — that's plain enough — but the bearing of the whole Chinese intrigue on Gorman's murder?"
mdp.39015063548971	Oh, New, did you find the knife?"
mdp.39015063548971	Oh, ca n't you understand without my saying it?
mdp.39015063548971	Or does n't it concern me?
mdp.39015063548971	Or had someone stopped her?
mdp.39015063548971	Or was McFarland holding out on him?
mdp.39015063548971	Over the telephone?"
mdp.39015063548971	Pig- headed, is she?
mdp.39015063548971	Queer —""Whose voice?"
mdp.39015063548971	Say, Insect, wo n't you ever finish with those roses?
mdp.39015063548971	Sha- su disappeared and the Medical Examiner queried:"What were you saying when the bell stopped you?"
mdp.39015063548971	She broke in scornfully,"Marriage?
mdp.39015063548971	She wo n't come?
mdp.39015063548971	She's fond of me in a scornful, condescending —""But Farrel?
mdp.39015063548971	Someone who knew that 154 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS she had seen and heard?
mdp.39015063548971	Started a scandal?
mdp.39015063548971	Surely she would not have strayed off the trail into the dense woods?
mdp.39015063548971	That place of yours between the mountains?"
mdp.39015063548971	The Butterfly cried out,"Vera, how can you?
mdp.39015063548971	The familiar call came to him:"All clear?
mdp.39015063548971	The low voice protested:"But Vera, why are you so set on implicating her?
mdp.39015063548971	Then Newbold burst out,"But if a man was there when she was killed, why do you say it looks bad for Lucile?"
mdp.39015063548971	Then Newbold's clearly, protesting:"Why not have him, John?
mdp.39015063548971	Then you and he do n't suspect that sweet Lucile?
mdp.39015063548971	To what?
mdp.39015063548971	Toward the ballroom?"
mdp.39015063548971	Tried to locate Lucile?"
mdp.39015063548971	Vera accusing her?
mdp.39015063548971	Was she killed?"
mdp.39015063548971	Was she the blithering idiot she seemed?
mdp.39015063548971	Was she — out?"
mdp.39015063548971	Was someone hurt?
mdp.39015063548971	Was there any one about?"
mdp.39015063548971	Was there something she could do?
mdp.39015063548971	West?"
mdp.39015063548971	West?"
mdp.39015063548971	What about the head wound?
mdp.39015063548971	What day, Annie?
mdp.39015063548971	What did she mean?
mdp.39015063548971	What did she say?"
mdp.39015063548971	What did you find?"
mdp.39015063548971	What did you get from Vera?
mdp.39015063548971	What did you mean by the Chinese butler snooping round the flower room?"
mdp.39015063548971	What do we care?"
mdp.39015063548971	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063548971	What had Newbold said to her?
mdp.39015063548971	What had she seen in that 54 THE LONG ISLAND MURDERS damned paper?
mdp.39015063548971	What had the doctor said?
mdp.39015063548971	What had you meant to say?"
mdp.39015063548971	What happened that you thought I ought to know?"
mdp.39015063548971	What happened?"
mdp.39015063548971	What has your adven- ture last night to do with Vera's murder?
mdp.39015063548971	What have I to do with the murder of Ted Gorman?
mdp.39015063548971	What have you done, Mac?
mdp.39015063548971	What hold did Moy- Sha- su and his associates have on Vera?
mdp.39015063548971	What knife, Insect?"
mdp.39015063548971	What makes you think they do n't mean to harm her yet?
mdp.39015063548971	What next?
mdp.39015063548971	What of it?
mdp.39015063548971	What was on his mind?
mdp.39015063548971	What was so queer?
mdp.39015063548971	What were they saying when you began your snooping?"
mdp.39015063548971	What would it mean?"
mdp.39015063548971	What — why do you say that?
mdp.39015063548971	What's bothering you, Mac?"
mdp.39015063548971	What's happened?"
mdp.39015063548971	When do you see Vera?"
mdp.39015063548971	When do you start working for Chen- fo?"
mdp.39015063548971	When he passed you, could you see him clearly enough to recognize him?
mdp.39015063548971	Where are you tak- ing me?'
mdp.39015063548971	Where can I find you today if I have word for you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where did you meet your mistress?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where is Moy- Chen- fo?
mdp.39015063548971	Where is she now?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where were you, anyway?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where's your room, or do n't you know?"
mdp.39015063548971	Where?"
mdp.39015063548971	Who looked stunning?
mdp.39015063548971	Who said she'd disappeared?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why come to us about it?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why create a sensational furore?
mdp.39015063548971	Why did n't you tell me that before?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why did you choose it?
mdp.39015063548971	Why did you leave her?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why did you want to die?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why do n't you go?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why do n't you hate me?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why do n't you want to see him?
mdp.39015063548971	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why do you look like that?
mdp.39015063548971	Why have n't I seen you?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why not take back what you said — admit you could n't see distinctly and let Lucile take her chances with the robot and the law?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why not?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why should he?
mdp.39015063548971	Why, why did you try to do this?
mdp.39015063548971	Why- drag horrors into — this?"
mdp.39015063548971	Why?
mdp.39015063548971	Why?
mdp.39015063548971	Why?
mdp.39015063548971	Will you agree not to leave New York?"
mdp.39015063548971	Will you join forces?"
mdp.39015063548971	With Larry?
mdp.39015063548971	Wo n't you fix these flowers?"
mdp.39015063548971	Would Carey mind if he left her?
mdp.39015063548971	Would Carey stay for a few days?
mdp.39015063548971	Would I mind going back alone?
mdp.39015063548971	Would Mr. West like to see the New York papers, just arrived?
mdp.39015063548971	Would she stay with Flora while he met the doctor?
mdp.39015063548971	Would the Chinese script still be there?
mdp.39015063548971	Would the gentlemen wait in the reception room?
mdp.39015063548971	Would you like him to dine with us tonight?
mdp.39015063548971	You did n't say that —""Did n't I?
mdp.39015063548971	You did not know his voice?"
mdp.39015063548971	You did?"
mdp.39015063548971	You do n't approve?"
mdp.39015063548971	You feel all right, Flora?"
mdp.39015063548971	You have Vera's?
mdp.39015063548971	You heard her light voice?"
mdp.39015063548971	You know that Mrs. Ainsley is ill?"
mdp.39015063548971	You know that he was booked to sail tonight for Europe?
mdp.39015063548971	You mean arrested?"
mdp.39015063548971	You saw her go?"
mdp.39015063548971	You want me to?
mdp.39015063548971	You were in the garden?
mdp.39015063548971	You're planning to get her prints?"
mdp.39015063548971	You've a good man with you?
mdp.39015063548971	You've read of the Gorman mur- der?
mdp.39015063548971	Your accusation reflects on you —""How?"
mdp.39015063551207	'But, you will ask, what became of the other medal? mdp.39015063551207 'The King is dead; long live the King?'"
mdp.39015063551207	A clue?
mdp.39015063551207	And Miss Greye?
mdp.39015063551207	And all that time you have looked after this suite?
mdp.39015063551207	And could n't the police catch the thieves?
mdp.39015063551207	And did Joyce — Pamela agree?
mdp.39015063551207	And do you know who the visitors were?
mdp.39015063551207	And do you not agree — as to the heart failure, I mean?
mdp.39015063551207	And how did you come to find out each other's secret?
mdp.39015063551207	And is that all you did?
mdp.39015063551207	And the antique shops — did you only go to two or three, or to a large number?
mdp.39015063551207	And the second visitor — the girl?
mdp.39015063551207	And they watched him, I suppose, so that if he found what he was looking for — the medal, for in- stance — they might try to get it from him?
mdp.39015063551207	And what do you suppose he'll do now?
mdp.39015063551207	And what have you been doing?
mdp.39015063551207	And what was the message you were to give him?
mdp.39015063551207	And yet — why?
mdp.39015063551207	And you have got the letter here now?
mdp.39015063551207	And you, Professor?
mdp.39015063551207	Are you Miss Greye?
mdp.39015063551207	Are you Pamela Greye?
mdp.39015063551207	Are you sure you do n't mind taking me with you?
mdp.39015063551207	Are you the Professor Wells?
mdp.39015063551207	Because he was in the wood near the chapel last night?
mdp.39015063551207	Besides, you had n't any clue to the bur- glars, I suppose?
mdp.39015063551207	Bluffing? mdp.39015063551207 Burglaries, eh?"
mdp.39015063551207	But as our very dear friend,said Pamela,"you are going to help us to find the treasure, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063551207	But did n't he see you?
mdp.39015063551207	But do you mean that there's any danger?
mdp.39015063551207	But tell me this: why did you slip out without calling for help or waiting for Melford to come?
mdp.39015063551207	But what?
mdp.39015063551207	But — but why do you look at me like that?
mdp.39015063551207	But, if so, how do you account for the fact that the foreigner was talking to him as he came out?
mdp.39015063551207	Could you fix it so that he could not get out again?
mdp.39015063551207	Dead?
mdp.39015063551207	Did he seem distressed or upset about anything?
mdp.39015063551207	Did he tell you to take the key out of the door?
mdp.39015063551207	Did you always lunch or dine, as the case might be, at the Hotel Philip?
mdp.39015063551207	Do n't you remember his parting remark about recognising the man if we saw him? mdp.39015063551207 Do you know their names?"
mdp.39015063551207	Do you think Dr. Cortinga and the limping man know of the vault?
mdp.39015063551207	Do you think he was honestly prepared to go halves in the swag?
mdp.39015063551207	Do? mdp.39015063551207 Do?"
mdp.39015063551207	Eh? mdp.39015063551207 Eh?"
mdp.39015063551207	Eh?
mdp.39015063551207	Eh?
mdp.39015063551207	Eh?
mdp.39015063551207	Excusing the liberty, Mr. Fane, sir; I know my place, and I do n't want to push myself into what do n't concern me; but"Well?
mdp.39015063551207	First, then, as to Mr. Abbeymead's fortune and its disposal?
mdp.39015063551207	First, then, how long have you been employed here?
mdp.39015063551207	Five, eh? mdp.39015063551207 Good gracious, nol Why?"
mdp.39015063551207	Have we been en- tertaining a hero unawares?
mdp.39015063551207	Have you ever had reason,he asked,"to believe that the good Mr. Welman is endowed with second sight?"
mdp.39015063551207	He had not many visitors, then?
mdp.39015063551207	He never cared much for society did he, either?
mdp.39015063551207	He's the head of the firm, is n't he? mdp.39015063551207 How are the legal formalities getting on?"
mdp.39015063551207	How can you expect Miss Greye to believe that you are a famous detective when you wo n't look the part?
mdp.39015063551207	How did he know we were all behind the screen over there?
mdp.39015063551207	How did that come about?
mdp.39015063551207	How do you know?
mdp.39015063551207	How do you make that out?
mdp.39015063551207	How do you mean?
mdp.39015063551207	How do you mean?
mdp.39015063551207	How so?
mdp.39015063551207	How was that?
mdp.39015063551207	I am right, then?
mdp.39015063551207	I do n't suppose you've got a revolver, or even a powerful lens about you?
mdp.39015063551207	I may use your telephone? mdp.39015063551207 I told her I should take it as a great favour, as I was going away, and it was a matter she could help me in — if you see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063551207	I understand, then,he said,"that it is to be war between us?"
mdp.39015063551207	I wonder THE LIMPING MAN 197 whether you mind very much if I did not answer it just now?
mdp.39015063551207	Indeed? mdp.39015063551207 Involved?"
mdp.39015063551207	Is Professor Wells in? mdp.39015063551207 Is n't she with you?"
mdp.39015063551207	It certainly is to me,replied the detective, smiling, but prepared to take his cue;"but how does it affect you?"
mdp.39015063551207	Know? mdp.39015063551207 May I suggest,"said Sims mildly,"that you might devote some of your attention to the man with the club- foot?"
mdp.39015063551207	Me?
mdp.39015063551207	Meaning me?
mdp.39015063551207	Mr. Sims,she said,"how did you know that Dr. Cortinga had not murdered my guardian?"
mdp.39015063551207	Not altogether?
mdp.39015063551207	Now, Sims,said the Professor as he stopped at his bedroom door,"what's the idea?"
mdp.39015063551207	Now, do you know what I've been doing? mdp.39015063551207 Now, just keep all this to yourself, will you?
mdp.39015063551207	Now, what had been Mr. Abbeymead's chief oc- cupation in life? mdp.39015063551207 Now, what the deuce did he mean by that?"
mdp.39015063551207	Now,said the Professor,"just measure that stick, will you?"
mdp.39015063551207	Police, sir? mdp.39015063551207 Second sight?"
mdp.39015063551207	That sur- prises you, does it? mdp.39015063551207 The man with the club- foot, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063551207	The pic- ture was very valuable, I suppose?
mdp.39015063551207	Then during the last two years you have been more in touch with him?
mdp.39015063551207	Then if the other people knew he had found the medal he wanted, the man with the club- foot must have stolen the medal when he had killed my uncle?
mdp.39015063551207	Then they think —?
mdp.39015063551207	Then why did they murder him before he had goS the clue they wanted?
mdp.39015063551207	Then you've got it?
mdp.39015063551207	Then,said Teddy,"is it wise to keep the deedbox in the passage?"
mdp.39015063551207	To me, or to you?
mdp.39015063551207	We do n't know any man with a club- foot, do we?
mdp.39015063551207	Well, Mr. Fane,said Sir Charles Merivale, shak- ing the young man's hand;"so you have not solved the Abbeymead mystery between you yet, eh?"
mdp.39015063551207	Well, Saunders,said Teddy cheerfully;"going to take a first at the flower show next year?"
mdp.39015063551207	Well, go and telephone, will you? mdp.39015063551207 Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015063551207	Well, you suggest that my uncle was already dead when the girl arrived?
mdp.39015063551207	Well,asked Teddy eagerly,"what have you dis- covered?"
mdp.39015063551207	Well?
mdp.39015063551207	Well?
mdp.39015063551207	What about a whisky and soda, eh?
mdp.39015063551207	What about the'in safety'?
mdp.39015063551207	What do they mean?
mdp.39015063551207	What do you make of the blighter — Cortinga, I mean?
mdp.39015063551207	What do you make of this letter?
mdp.39015063551207	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063551207	What do you see immediately opposite you?
mdp.39015063551207	What do you think, Fane?
mdp.39015063551207	What does it all mean?
mdp.39015063551207	What happened next?
mdp.39015063551207	What is it, Pamela?
mdp.39015063551207	What is it, Walters?
mdp.39015063551207	What is it? mdp.39015063551207 What is it?"
mdp.39015063551207	What is it?
mdp.39015063551207	What shall I do with it?
mdp.39015063551207	What the deuce do you keep sticks under your bed for?
mdp.39015063551207	What the devil is the game?
mdp.39015063551207	What then?
mdp.39015063551207	What — what do you mean?
mdp.39015063551207	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063551207	What's this I hear about a man being seen in the grounds?
mdp.39015063551207	What's your idea?
mdp.39015063551207	Where are my wits?
mdp.39015063551207	Where did you find it?
mdp.39015063551207	Who are you?
mdp.39015063551207	Who could he have been afraid of? mdp.39015063551207 Who is he, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063551207	Who is it?
mdp.39015063551207	Who saw him?
mdp.39015063551207	Who was it, Pine?
mdp.39015063551207	Who?
mdp.39015063551207	Why did n't you arrest him?
mdp.39015063551207	Why do you call it a passage?
mdp.39015063551207	Why not put it in the bank?
mdp.39015063551207	Why not put the bobby on the job, after all?
mdp.39015063551207	Why not?
mdp.39015063551207	Why, of course,replied Miss Barrett blithely;"you want me to turn up the figures about that wretched Taybridge contract for you, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063551207	Why,she said slowly, as though she could hardly believe her ears,"however could you guess that?"
mdp.39015063551207	Why?
mdp.39015063551207	Will you come down, Sir Charles,he said;"and you, Fane?
mdp.39015063551207	With me? mdp.39015063551207 Wo n't you go on looking after things, then?"
mdp.39015063551207	Yes?
mdp.39015063551207	You and the Professor?
mdp.39015063551207	You are all right, then?
mdp.39015063551207	You are an engineer,said Wells;"do you carry a pocket foot- rule?"
mdp.39015063551207	You are so — so adequate, may I say? mdp.39015063551207 You are sure of that?"
mdp.39015063551207	You did not hear any of the conversation?
mdp.39015063551207	You do n't think he was bluffing?
mdp.39015063551207	You don't — you do n't think I'm not serious enough about this — not sorry for my guardian, do you?
mdp.39015063551207	You have only known Mr. Abbeymead for a short time, then, Melford?
mdp.39015063551207	You hear that, Sims?
mdp.39015063551207	You know their meaning, of course?
mdp.39015063551207	You mean that my guardian had found the medal he wanted?
mdp.39015063551207	You mean this figure five cut in the stone?
mdp.39015063551207	You mean, of course, how did I know that Dr. Cor- tinga had nothing to do with the crime?
mdp.39015063551207	You mean?
mdp.39015063551207	You recognise this place, of course?
mdp.39015063551207	You remember my guardian's letter to Teddy — where he talked about Teddy on the pony?
mdp.39015063551207	You said the message, whatever it is, must be addressed to Teddy, did n't you?
mdp.39015063551207	You saw him?
mdp.39015063551207	You think he has been using this as a measure?
mdp.39015063551207	You think he may have wanted to get in and try to find the medal?
mdp.39015063551207	You think she is in danger, then?
mdp.39015063551207	You think so?
mdp.39015063551207	You think, then, that we are in deep waters?
mdp.39015063551207	You were his only relative,remarked the lawyer,"and""You were about to say?"
mdp.39015063551207	You were with him a long time, were you not?
mdp.39015063551207	You would have been inclined to form a cosy little syndicate under the style of'Fane, Cortinga and Co., Ltd.,'to look for the treasure, eh?
mdp.39015063551207	You would not be prepared to give a certificate of death from heart failure — that is, a natural cause — without a post- mortem, would you?
mdp.39015063551207	Your uncle?
mdp.39015063551207	''Pamela?"
mdp.39015063551207	'Melford, there's something to drink there, is n't there?
mdp.39015063551207	'Who?
mdp.39015063551207	... Is that you, Professor?
mdp.39015063551207	138 THE LIMPING MAN"And what do you think?"
mdp.39015063551207	196 THE LIMPING MAN"Then why did you get behind the screen, if you knew he would find you out?"
mdp.39015063551207	224 THE LIMPING MAN"But how do you know it was Cortinga who arranged it, and not the Limping Man?"
mdp.39015063551207	Abbeymead?"
mdp.39015063551207	And did he strike you as being an ordinary sort of man?"
mdp.39015063551207	And that is all the staff, is it?"
mdp.39015063551207	And was much stolen?"
mdp.39015063551207	Any result?"
mdp.39015063551207	Are you ill?"
mdp.39015063551207	Besides, why 170 THE LIMPING MAN should I save words, after all?
mdp.39015063551207	Besides, you're going to marry me, so what does it matter?"
mdp.39015063551207	But I may as well be quite frank with you, sir: Uncle Roger and I saw very little of each other — but perhaps you know all about it?"
mdp.39015063551207	But I take it that he's not coming simply for a holiday?"
mdp.39015063551207	But can not we meet again and discuss matters in a friendly way?"
mdp.39015063551207	But do you know, my dear fellow, it is a confounded nuisance at times?"
mdp.39015063551207	But tell me,"he added curiously,"what made you ask Pine about the car?"
mdp.39015063551207	But tell me,"he added seriously,"what arrangements have you made so far, Merivale?"
mdp.39015063551207	But the ques- tion is, where else would the medallion be so safe?"
mdp.39015063551207	But what does'51'stand for?"
mdp.39015063551207	But why not call in your advisers?
mdp.39015063551207	By- the- by, Pine, I do n't think Mr. Fane knows any- thing of this; perhaps you'd like me to mention it to him quietly?
mdp.39015063551207	Can THE LIMPING MAN 145 you think of anybody or anything connected with five or one, Teddy?"
mdp.39015063551207	Can you remem- ber it?"
mdp.39015063551207	Can you see me at once?
mdp.39015063551207	Come up to the house this evening, will you?"
mdp.39015063551207	Come, Mr. Fane, because we are opponents in this game, need we be enemies?"
mdp.39015063551207	Could it be at the lodge gates?
mdp.39015063551207	Did n't you know that Roger Abbeymead was my uncle?"
mdp.39015063551207	Did the club- footed man take the note away with him when he left?
mdp.39015063551207	Did you know who the heir was to be?"
mdp.39015063551207	Do I make myself clear?"
mdp.39015063551207	Do you see that, Professor?"
mdp.39015063551207	Does he think we're fools?
mdp.39015063551207	Eh, Sims?"
mdp.39015063551207	Fane, can I get a telephone call through at this hour?"
mdp.39015063551207	Fane, just see if there is anything missing, will you?"
mdp.39015063551207	Fane?"
mdp.39015063551207	Fane?"
mdp.39015063551207	Fane?"
mdp.39015063551207	First, do you re- member any of the books your uncle mentioned in his letter?"
mdp.39015063551207	For the others, what would you?
mdp.39015063551207	Further, what became of the note which the man had written?
mdp.39015063551207	Go up, will you, and break the news?
mdp.39015063551207	Had he succeeded in recovering it before he left Mr. Abbeymead?
mdp.39015063551207	Hadley?"
mdp.39015063551207	Has Mr. Carbin gone?
mdp.39015063551207	Have you got a gun?"
mdp.39015063551207	His name was Abbey- mead""Was?"
mdp.39015063551207	His solicitor, a Mr. Carbin""Carbin?"
mdp.39015063551207	How should I know?
mdp.39015063551207	How was his heir to know, or even to suspect, that it contained such a message?
mdp.39015063551207	How would that do?"
mdp.39015063551207	I believe I am correct in saying that you were Mr. Abbeymead's adviser?"
mdp.39015063551207	I forgot, by- the- by; you have n't got one, have you?
mdp.39015063551207	I have no doubt, Sims, that you have already taken steps to find these people?"
mdp.39015063551207	I hope you like China tea?
mdp.39015063551207	I will set out my reasons at greater length in my of- ficial report, after the post- mortem — that is, if you wish me to make one?"
mdp.39015063551207	I've got some private business in hand, and while I'm away I want to be sure — I mean — look here, Miss Barrett, I say; ca n't you trust me?"
mdp.39015063551207	If that suits you, Wells?"
mdp.39015063551207	Just gone?
mdp.39015063551207	May I trouble you for another match?
mdp.39015063551207	Miss Greye, sup- pose you run up to town to- morrow in the car and deposit the medallion at the bank where you kept Mr. Abbeymead's letter?"
mdp.39015063551207	Now tell me, what staff is there here altogether?
mdp.39015063551207	Now, has this gentleman come up yet?'
mdp.39015063551207	Now, my dear,"he added, turning to the girl,"do you think you can trust me with your secrets?"
mdp.39015063551207	Now, suppose the Limping Man gets in — do you want to electrocute him?"
mdp.39015063551207	Now, what about Abbeymead, your uncle's place in Kent, Fane?
mdp.39015063551207	Now, what about this job?
mdp.39015063551207	Or had the latter destroyed it?
mdp.39015063551207	Presently Teddy coughed, and said diffidently:"What do you think we'd better do now, sir?"
mdp.39015063551207	Said Teddy boldly:"Miss Barrett, I wonder if you'd do me a favour?"
mdp.39015063551207	Seriously, though, why should we not all take a day's holiday?
mdp.39015063551207	Shall I show them to you?"
mdp.39015063551207	Shall I tell them to keep th& dinner back, sir?"
mdp.39015063551207	She laughed a little nervously as she said:"About — your business?"
mdp.39015063551207	Show him in here, Pine, will you?
mdp.39015063551207	Sims, have you by any chance brought your torch with you?"
mdp.39015063551207	THE LIMPING MAN 115"But how did you arrive at the actual letters?"
mdp.39015063551207	THE LIMPING MAN 119"But I will reply to it by another: How do you know he had not?"
mdp.39015063551207	THE LIMPING MAN 129"Oh, Pine,"he said casually,"about the car: is it in good order?"
mdp.39015063551207	THE LIMPING MAN 179"Gentleman?
mdp.39015063551207	Teddy, you are sure you do not re- member seeing this figure here before?"
mdp.39015063551207	Tell me, how did you know?"
mdp.39015063551207	Tell me, is Sims to handle the case?"
mdp.39015063551207	That must mean that they were afraid he would get hold of some fact or other before they could?"
mdp.39015063551207	The im- mediate question is: Are you going to take the case in hand and let Sims handle it?"
mdp.39015063551207	Then the hypodermic syringe, the morphia tablets, the injection in Abbeymead's arm — into what corner of the mosaic did these pieces fit?
mdp.39015063551207	To save time, I append a translation:'Who?
mdp.39015063551207	Was Mr. Carbin hiding other facts?
mdp.39015063551207	Was n't that it?"
mdp.39015063551207	We can trust you, Pine, ca n't we?
mdp.39015063551207	We trust you utterly — don't we, Teddy?"
mdp.39015063551207	Well?"
mdp.39015063551207	Well?"
mdp.39015063551207	What about it, Sims?"
mdp.39015063551207	What about some lunch?"
mdp.39015063551207	What did these things mean?
mdp.39015063551207	What do you say, Miss Greye?"
mdp.39015063551207	What do you suggest?"
mdp.39015063551207	What follows?
mdp.39015063551207	What gentleman?"
mdp.39015063551207	What happened then?"
mdp.39015063551207	What is the message my uncle wanted to convey to me?
mdp.39015063551207	What time is it, sir?"
mdp.39015063551207	What was that noise?
mdp.39015063551207	What was the motive for the crime?
mdp.39015063551207	When do you take possession?"
mdp.39015063551207	When?
mdp.39015063551207	Where was that message — the letter written by the visitor in the hall?
mdp.39015063551207	Where?
mdp.39015063551207	Who committed it?
mdp.39015063551207	Who was the swarthy man who had called on him that evening?
mdp.39015063551207	Who was this man with the swarthy complexion and the club- foot?
mdp.39015063551207	Who were Abbeymead's visitors on the evening of his death?"
mdp.39015063551207	Why had the lawyer not told the Professor of that episode in the dead man's past?
mdp.39015063551207	Why should n't he let himself go?"
mdp.39015063551207	Why, then, regard me as an enemy?
mdp.39015063551207	Why?
mdp.39015063551207	Why?
mdp.39015063551207	Will they not do me the honour of joining us?"
mdp.39015063551207	Will you be kind enough to tell Sims that what he asks for shall be done?
mdp.39015063551207	Will you lead the way, then?"
mdp.39015063551207	Will you not go on?
mdp.39015063551207	Would he come himself?"
mdp.39015063551207	Would you care to join us, Fane?"
mdp.39015063551207	Would you excuse me one mo- ment?
mdp.39015063551207	Would you — would you very much mind meeting me somewhere?
mdp.39015063551207	You agree?"
mdp.39015063551207	You are, no doubt, conversant with his affairs?"
mdp.39015063551207	You do n't suggest that he was a criminal, do you?"
mdp.39015063551207	You do not suspect them, do you?"
mdp.39015063551207	You may have noticed that Mr. Abbeymead was wearing a flower in the buttonhole of his dinner- jacket?
mdp.39015063551207	You must dine with me in Russell Square""Russell Square?"
mdp.39015063551207	You remember that Cortinga told us a bottle of Horolam had disappeared from his house?
mdp.39015063551207	You see my point?"
mdp.39015063551207	You understand?"
mdp.39015030710134	A bet?
mdp.39015030710134	Add what? ” said Wilmer thickly. mdp.39015030710134 And that's the truth, is it? ”"I can show her to you, on the road a mile beyond here.
mdp.39015030710134	Ann what?
mdp.39015030710134	Are n't you going to give me one? ” said Stoddard III in a maudlin tone. mdp.39015030710134 Are you crazy, Natalie?
mdp.39015030710134	Are you going to do anything about this? ” he inquired savagely. mdp.39015030710134 Betty? ” said Sheila, looking very comfortable in her bed and rather amused than otherwise.
mdp.39015030710134	Brutally attacked? ” drawled the sergeant. mdp.39015030710134 But what's the matter with you?
mdp.39015030710134	But — why? ” he said thickly. mdp.39015030710134 Ca n't I tie my shoe? ” He straightened and looked down the field.
mdp.39015030710134	Ca n't you? mdp.39015030710134 Digestion? ” he said.
mdp.39015030710134	Do n't you see? mdp.39015030710134 Do you suppose she's there? ” he whispered.
mdp.39015030710134	Englishman, eh? mdp.39015030710134 Everything all right, sir? ”"Everything fine,"said Grandfather Rogers.
mdp.39015030710134	For God's sake,said the deputy, “ what's he doing? ” Then Foster saw them, and his face went blank.
mdp.39015030710134	From his wife? ”From some woman.
mdp.39015030710134	Help it? mdp.39015030710134 Helps what?
mdp.39015030710134	Henry?
mdp.39015030710134	How about a lift into town? ” he inquired. mdp.39015030710134 How about that photograph? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030710134	How about the Chimney tonight? mdp.39015030710134 How about this key ring? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015030710134	How dare you do that to me? ” she said furiously. mdp.39015030710134 I do n't suppose you could be related to Alexander Cameron Rogers? ”"That's my name, sir, ” said the old man stiffly.
mdp.39015030710134	I owe you something, do n't I? mdp.39015030710134 I thought, How is she now? ” “ Better.
mdp.39015030710134	I wonder if he's been seeing Millicent! ”How do I know?
mdp.39015030710134	I wonder just why? ” she inquired; and leaving Miss Parker with her mouth open turned to greet Wilmer in the doorway. mdp.39015030710134 In a volcano?
mdp.39015030710134	Interesting, but why tell me? ”That's just what I want to know.
mdp.39015030710134	Is it another woman? mdp.39015030710134 Is it being idiotic to tell you how wonderful you are?"
mdp.39015030710134	Is that Mr. Garrett? mdp.39015030710134 Is that you, Natalie?"
mdp.39015030710134	Is there an'e'in writing? ” he asked. mdp.39015030710134 It's kinda funny, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030710134	It's over until the next book. ”What do you mean? ” She smiled at him.
mdp.39015030710134	Jealous? ” she said. mdp.39015030710134 Just what do you think you are doing in there?"
mdp.39015030710134	Lily, darling, ” she said, “ is there anything I can do? mdp.39015030710134 Look here, ” he said;"are we hunting rabbits or are we out for a walk? ” “ I'm coming right along.
mdp.39015030710134	More trouble? ” he asked resignedly. mdp.39015030710134 Must seem queer to be passing plates, eh?"
mdp.39015030710134	Not feeling sick, are you, Stoddard?
mdp.39015030710134	Or is it, ” he insisted,that I am so old that I do n't matter?
mdp.39015030710134	Ready? ” asked the king- elect. mdp.39015030710134 Say,"he said somewhat later, “ how about that fudge your sister was going to send Stoddard?
mdp.39015030710134	Septic? mdp.39015030710134 Some night, eh? ” he said.
mdp.39015030710134	Well, can you tie that?
mdp.39015030710134	Well, where would we be, Mr. Caswell? ” he said. mdp.39015030710134 What do you boys think this is, anyhow? ” Mr. Small de- manded of Stoddard III.
mdp.39015030710134	What do you mean, a telegram? ” “ Do you have to put on an act for me, Alex? ” He stared at her. mdp.39015030710134 What do you mean, a telegram? ” “ Do you have to put on an act for me, Alex? ” He stared at her.
mdp.39015030710134	What for? mdp.39015030710134 What for? ” he said suspiciously.
mdp.39015030710134	What made you do an idiotic thing like that? ” he de- manded. mdp.39015030710134 What's a fellow to do when his wife throws him out?
mdp.39015030710134	What's she like, Peggy?
mdp.39015030710134	What's the matter with the door? ” he asked shortly. mdp.39015030710134 What's the matter with you? ” Stoddard III protested.
mdp.39015030710134	What's this mess in Europe, Tony? mdp.39015030710134 Where are you going? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	Where'd you go to this afternoon? ” he demanded. mdp.39015030710134 Where's the meat?"

mdp.39015030710134	“ She said that? ” “ She said you had a good digestion, and were practically tireless.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Sheila? ” she said vaguely.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Sixty- forty? ”"Yep. ”"Shake! ” said the Wop; and they shook.
mdp.39015030710134	“ So Nero said to the martyr,'What did you say to the lion, which saved your life?'
mdp.39015030710134	“ So what?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Somebody you know going away? ” In the darkness the old man smiled.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Still raving, are you? ” he said.
mdp.39015030710134	“ That so?
mdp.39015030710134	“ That you, Joe?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ That's the answer, is n't it?
mdp.39015030710134	“ The missus, eh?
mdp.39015030710134	“ The sheriff?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Then it's all right, old man, is it?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Then what are we doing now? ”"Listen!
mdp.39015030710134	“ There is n't anything for me to learn, is there? ” Stoddard III tone was anxious.
mdp.39015030710134	“ There's nothing wrong, is there?
mdp.39015030710134	“ There's nothing wrong, is there? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Think I'm so pretty somebody'll run off with me? ” Bennie grinned.
mdp.39015030710134	“ This is supposed to be a celebration. ” “ What are we celebrating?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Three hours later it was standing wide open. ” “ Why did you want to forget it?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Tired of your party? ”.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Tommy's the dog? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Try to get along without me for a while, will you? ” The sergeant, however, ignored him.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Ugly little devil, is n't he?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Upon my soul, where did you come from?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Was- was he alone? ” she asked.
mdp.39015030710134	“ We'd rule it? ” “ Well, I've got it worked out like this: You can be king.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Well, what do you two young things plan for this afternoon?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Well, what else is it? ” he demanded reasonably.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What about you?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What about you? ” THE EMPIRE BUILDERS 179"Listen!
mdp.39015030710134	“ What am I to do? ” she wailed.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What can I do with you standing there? ” “ I'm staying with you, Bob."
mdp.39015030710134	“ What d'you call that? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What did you tell him?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What did you tell him?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What do you fellows want? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What do you men know about nerves?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What do you think I am?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What do you think this is going to be?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What does he do then? ” Betty inquired.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What does that mean? ” he asked suspiciously.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What good does this do you?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What happened to her? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What happened when a man came in to see me about something, eh?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What has Henry got to do with it?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What in God's name has that got to do with it?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What on earth am I to do with him?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What on earth is it? ” “ It's a pelican.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What part of the coun- COUN- try?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What redheaded girl? ” “ I do n't know.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What sort of an engagement? ” “ Now see here, ” said Stoddard III; “ it's none of your busi- ness what it is.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What sort of help? ” Quite unexpectedly Sheila giggled.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What sort of rest? ” said Nancy suspiciously.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What threshold, and what gardenias?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What would I have done without you?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What you fellows doing? ” a voice demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What'd I want with your old cheese? ” he retorted.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What'll I do with the pearl? ” “ I'm going to send it to a girl,"said the king- elect firmly.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's all this about twenty- five years? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's all this nonsense? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's all this? ” he said suspiciously.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's bringing him around? ” he said angrily.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's happened to you?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's she got but his chivalry and maybe years of habit?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's that? ”"I thought I'd take some pictures of you, ” she said ingenu- ously.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's the idea? ” asked the sheriff, as he stopped the car.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's the matter with him, Paul? ” she inquired one night after he had gone.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's the matter with my going up and looking over the room?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's the matter with your feet?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's the matter? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's the use of establishing a kingdom and not having anyone to leave it to?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's wrong with this country, Henry?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's wrong, sheriff? ” “ Nothing wrong.
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's wrong?
mdp.39015030710134	“ What's wrong? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Whatta I care? ” he said savagely to himself.
mdp.39015030710134	“ When was that? ” Grandfather Rogers inquired, interested.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Where are the rabbits?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Where is Mr. Rogers? ” he asked Henry.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Where is she?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Where's his decoration, Tony?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Where's my automatic? ” he said gruffly.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Where's your baggage? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Who are you? ”"I'm the chauffeur, ” said that colored gentleman.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Who is it?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ Who's that with the gun? ” he heard a feminine voice ask.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Whose business is that? ” John had said, looking desperate and defiant.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Whose photograph? ”"What's that got to do with it? ” “ Oh, I just wondered; I do n't take a good picture, anyhow."
mdp.39015030710134	“ Whose photograph? ”"What's that got to do with it? ” “ Oh, I just wondered; I do n't take a good picture, anyhow."
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why ca n't things go on as they have?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why did you quit him, anyhow? ” he asked her.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why do n't you do it if it's so blooming necessary? ” The Wop gave him a glance of withering scorn.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why do n't you poison him?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why do n't you tell papa and get it over?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why in God's name did you do it?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why, Wilmer, you do n't understand, after all, do you?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Why? ” “ To perpetuate the line,"said the Wop impatiently.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Will he come? ” she called.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Will you have some more of the chicken? ” He filled his time as best he could.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Will you have your coffee black or use canned cream? ”"Canned cream? ” “ Out of cans, you know, ” said Sheila placidly.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Will you have your coffee black or use canned cream? ”"Canned cream? ” “ Out of cans, you know, ” said Sheila placidly.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Wilmer has such a lovely voice, has n't he? ” Why, the woman was an idiot.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Wo n't you want some dinner?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Wonder how he'd have liked it, Sam? ” he said.
mdp.39015030710134	“ Would n't I?
mdp.39015030710134	“ Yes. ” “ Everything quiet? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015030710134	“ You are a little overweight, are n't you, mother? ” Peggy kept her temper.
mdp.39015030710134	“ You been in the penitentiary? ” he inquired uneasily.
mdp.39015030710134	“ You disappeared; so I came home. ” “ Oh, were you hunting too? ” Miss Randall spoke across the table winningly.
mdp.39015030710134	“ You do n't mind being called a child, do you, Louise?
mdp.39015030710134	“ You do n't suppose, ” she said gently, “ that there is somebody else, do you, Wilmer?
mdp.39015030710134	“ You find some pretty lady in town?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ You got a job waiting somewhere, maybe? ”"Not yet.
mdp.39015030710134	“ You know this morning when I took the boat? ” “ I do."

mdp.39015030710134	“ You think I am jealous, Jim?"
mdp.39015030710134	“ You were at the wedding, were n't you, Natalie? ” he in- quired.
mdp.39015030710134	“ You'll miss it, wo n't you, Roy? ” “ Miss it?
mdp.39015030710134	“ You'll miss it, wo n't you, Roy? ” “ Miss it?
mdp.39015030710134	“ You'll take the throne and I the army? ” “ Surest thing you know!"
mdp.39015030710134	“ You're a good buyer; but if it was n't for the old man sitting on your neck and holding you down, where'd you be? ”.

mdp.39015063547593	All of them?
mdp.39015063547593	And did they?
mdp.39015063547593	And did you discover anything strange?
mdp.39015063547593	And do you figure you could get him to swallow any of them?
mdp.39015063547593	And he swallowed it?
mdp.39015063547593	And if he has been, Jimmy's name goes off the list of suspects?
mdp.39015063547593	And if you and Miss Constance die, the entire for- tune will fall to your son?
mdp.39015063547593	And strychnine?
mdp.39015063547593	And that of Mary Van Zanten two weeks ago?
mdp.39015063547593	And the second case?
mdp.39015063547593	And this — ah — this chemical analysis, is it sure fire?
mdp.39015063547593	And what about the other side of the story? mdp.39015063547593 Are there any other poisons which produce similar symptoms?"
mdp.39015063547593	Are you crazy, mistreat- ing her in this way?
mdp.39015063547593	Are you sure? mdp.39015063547593 Are you tormenting yourself about supposed mur- ders that have stretched over a century?"
mdp.39015063547593	Are you wealthy?
mdp.39015063547593	But before you sit down to the typewriter, will you find Tom and send him in to me?
mdp.39015063547593	But he is n't a born detective, eh?
mdp.39015063547593	But how am I to explain the presence of so charming a stranger?
mdp.39015063547593	But how the devil are you to get to the far side?
mdp.39015063547593	But if I choose to employ one, is that not my privi- lege? mdp.39015063547593 But the paralysis of the tongue which our client mentioned?"
mdp.39015063547593	But the vegetable toxicants?
mdp.39015063547593	But what can I do?
mdp.39015063547593	But why — why?
mdp.39015063547593	By the way, have you heard how Mr. Fawcett is 5 ° The Clue in the Tomb this morning?

mdp.39015063547593	Did you ever experiment with the magic tea, Miss Curtis?
mdp.39015063547593	Did you ever look into the nature of the mixtures — ever analyze them?
mdp.39015063547593	Did you have any confederates?
mdp.39015063547593	Did you murder your father?
mdp.39015063547593	Did you try to prevent it?
mdp.39015063547593	Do n't you think yourself that the cops should look into it?
mdp.39015063547593	Do you consider them trustworthy?
mdp.39015063547593	Do you know her methods — what herbs she puts into the pot, and so forth?
mdp.39015063547593	Do you know how he was killed?
mdp.39015063547593	Do you suspect him of having had a hand in the deaths of George and Mary Van Zanten?
mdp.39015063547593	Do you think there's much chance of his being right?
mdp.39015063547593	Do you want me to help, or will the police satisfy you?
mdp.39015063547593	Does any one in the house except yourself know that he drank this stuff?

mdp.39015063547593	How can you tell that?
mdp.39015063547593	How come?
mdp.39015063547593	How did you lose the prisoner that Dinny Sullivan phoned me last night you were bringing in handcuffs?
mdp.39015063547593	How many dogs does Miss Constance have?
mdp.39015063547593	How many poodles?
mdp.39015063547593	How many sets of keys are there to this chapel and vault?
mdp.39015063547593	How so, young feller?
mdp.39015063547593	I take it that Aunt Ellen lives here?
mdp.39015063547593	In naming those, you have n't begun to exhaust the subject, have you?
mdp.39015063547593	In whose possession are they?
mdp.39015063547593	In writing?
mdp.39015063547593	Is he a relative?
mdp.39015063547593	Is he in this work with you?
mdp.39015063547593	Is that all?
mdp.39015063547593	Is that usual, when there is so little reason for pre- suming a murder?
mdp.39015063547593	Is the nurse here yet?
mdp.39015063547593	Is there any outsider whose own interests would be served by such a scheme?
mdp.39015063547593	Is this Mr. Van Zanten's car?
mdp.39015063547593	It's crazy?
mdp.39015063547593	Just a natural born liar, are n't you? mdp.39015063547593 Kay, girl,"he said,"who do you believe our old fashion- plate client suspects?"
mdp.39015063547593	Kay,he asked,"what do you know about poisons, any way?"
mdp.39015063547593	No kidding?
mdp.39015063547593	No? mdp.39015063547593 No?"
mdp.39015063547593	Of course, the point I'm most curious about is, who do you think's guilty?
mdp.39015063547593	Oh, is it? mdp.39015063547593 Or indigestion, or a clot on the brain, or any of your medical rubber- stamps?"
mdp.39015063547593	Poison, eh?
mdp.39015063547593	Poison?
mdp.39015063547593	Really, Inspector?
mdp.39015063547593	Really?
mdp.39015063547593	She does, eh? mdp.39015063547593 Sheriff, are you ready with those rabbits?"
mdp.39015063547593	So old Mr. Van Zanten's death was important to your wedding plans, was it?
mdp.39015063547593	Supposing that murder has been done, do you now fear for Mr. Fawcett's life?
mdp.39015063547593	That leaves it a toss- up between Fawcett and Henkle, does n't it, Inspector?
mdp.39015063547593	The attending physician?
mdp.39015063547593	The funeral of your brother George took place here a year ago, did it?
mdp.39015063547593	Then Mary Van Zanten was very possibly murdered with strychnine?
mdp.39015063547593	Then his symptoms do point to aconitine?
mdp.39015063547593	Then it's merely your own suspicions that have been aroused?
mdp.39015063547593	Then perhaps you can tell me why the family vault was visited by the prowler, who later erased his foot- prints?
mdp.39015063547593	Then why have you done nothing to bring these events to the notice of the police?
mdp.39015063547593	Then your obeah has not been working?
mdp.39015063547593	There can be no verdict of death by poison- ing, can there, unless the poison is located and named?
mdp.39015063547593	They do n't?
mdp.39015063547593	Was Mr. Fawcett poisoned? mdp.39015063547593 Was there a police inquiry in either case?"
mdp.39015063547593	Well, what happened to the game?
mdp.39015063547593	Well, you've heard of Aunt Ellen's doings, have n't you?
mdp.39015063547593	Well?
mdp.39015063547593	Were autopsies held on the bodies? ” “ No, Inspector. ”Great grief!
mdp.39015063547593	Wh- what has happened to him?

mdp.39015063547593	Will you undertake it?
mdp.39015063547593	Would you be so kind as to have her driven to the ferry right away?

mdp.39015063547593	He lowered his voice and addressed Kay:"Does this chauffeur say anything to you?"
mdp.39015063547593	He merely asked:"Got any other plans?"

mdp.39015063547593	He returned abruptly to the subject of Mary Van Zanten:"Is Fawcett such a fool that he did n't suspect foul play in the girl's death?"

mdp.39015063547593	Is n't that nice?"
mdp.39015063547593	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063547593	Is that what you were talking about to her this afternoon?
mdp.39015063547593	Jimmy Van Zanten himself?
mdp.39015063547593	Joyce said:"Tim Cavanagh, is n't it?
mdp.39015063547593	Joyce swung around to Fawcett:"What about you?
mdp.39015063547593	Joyce?"
mdp.39015063547593	Kay, perhaps?
mdp.39015063547593	Many generations of the Van Zantens lie""Are the bodies of your brother and niece there?"
mdp.39015063547593	Might that be a factor in the mystery? ”"Possibly. ” Van Zanten frowned and stroked his white mustaches.

mdp.39015063547593	Now — er — what can I do for you?
mdp.39015063547593	Now, what did you see?"
mdp.39015063547593	On exactly what do you base that statement?"
mdp.39015063547593	Or a man from the District Attorney's office?
mdp.39015063547593	Or was he suffering from remorse?

mdp.39015063547593	Why did somebody sneak in there, in the first place?

mdp.39015063547593	Why not let me stay just outside the vault?"
mdp.39015063547593	Why not?
mdp.39015063547593	Why on earth had Van Zan- ten not told him that Jimmy was a medical student?
mdp.39015063547593	Why should I?
mdp.39015063547593	Why, it's just obeah, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063547593	Why, too, was he unable to suppress a certain note of frigidity whenever the name of Alexander Fawcett was mentioned?
mdp.39015063547593	Why?
mdp.39015063547593	Why?
mdp.39015063547593	Why?"
mdp.39015063547593	Why?"
mdp.39015063547593	Would n't you like me to tell you at least one of them, to show what I mean?"
mdp.39015063547593	Yes, yes... Read it to me, will you?"
mdp.39015063547593	You did n't hear voices, or anything like that?"
mdp.39015063547593	You do n't want them to prejudge the case, do you, and write you all up as if you were monkeys in the zoo?"
mdp.39015063547593	You have n't made me believe that the girl was poisoned; do you believe it?"
mdp.39015063547593	You under- stand?
mdp.39015063547593	“ All of them, Inspector? ” inquired the manager, his countenance expressing a vague amusement.
mdp.39015063547593	“ Ca n't you guess? ”"God, no!"
mdp.39015063547593	“ Ca n't you think of something that it's our plain duty to do? ” “ Why no, Inspector."
mdp.39015063547593	“ Did I understand you to say that young Mr. Van Zanten was about the same age as my Tom- twenty- five?"
mdp.39015063547593	“ How come?
mdp.39015063547593	“ I am not a botanist. ” “ And you, Mr. Fawcett?
mdp.39015063547593	“ Outside of those you have named, what persons compose your household? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063547593	“ Then the man may actually have been taken off by indigestion? ” “ I even consider that probable.
mdp.39015063547593	“ To whom have I the honor of speaking?"
mdp.39015063547593	“ Well — what did he find? ” inquired Kay tensely.
mdp.39015063547593	“ Well? ” “ The patient's condition is alarming, but so far not critical, ” stated Wagenhalls formally.

mdp.39015063547593	“ Which'why do you mean?
mdp.39015063547593	“ Who are these for, Aunty? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063547593	“ Who is it?
mdp.39015063547593	“ Why, Nich- olas, are you figuring on letting them draft one of us? ” he asked, in mock dismay.

mdp.39015049748554	About the tea that Mr. Craig used,Pointer threw in casually,"it was special tea, I understand?"
mdp.39015049748554	About this letter you wrote Craig?
mdp.39015049748554	About this tea, first of all, how was it given you?
mdp.39015049748554	All the time?
mdp.39015049748554	And Lady Craig knew about it?
mdp.39015049748554	And Lady Craig?
mdp.39015049748554	And Match? mdp.39015049748554 And Miss Cornwall?"
mdp.39015049748554	And Mr. Craig had no idea of this young man's existence?
mdp.39015049748554	And Mr. Houghton's reputation, sir?
mdp.39015049748554	And did Mrs. Lindrum go up to the manor too, last night?
mdp.39015049748554	And did n't touch the paper basket, you think? mdp.39015049748554 And did you keep it exclusively for him?"
mdp.39015049748554	And he is —?
mdp.39015049748554	And he?
mdp.39015049748554	And she never asked to see her children?
mdp.39015049748554	And that tea of Craig's, that different tea from Lady Craig's own, you think the poison might have been given in that?
mdp.39015049748554	And the letter you took up in the morning, was it to a Mrs. Harding? mdp.39015049748554 And the motive you thought, was —?"
mdp.39015049748554	And the nursery governess at the manor? mdp.39015049748554 And the pantry door?"
mdp.39015049748554	And the young lady herself, Countess Alexandra, sir? mdp.39015049748554 And the young man's name?"
mdp.39015049748554	And then?
mdp.39015049748554	And these bed covers and pillows are where?
mdp.39015049748554	And they were —?
mdp.39015049748554	And this Mr. Ardmay is —?
mdp.39015049748554	And was any tea left in the caddy?
mdp.39015049748554	And what about the letter that Craig wrote to Houghton about? mdp.39015049748554 And what did she say when you spoke to her?"
mdp.39015049748554	And what time was it when you came here?
mdp.39015049748554	And what would that mean?
mdp.39015049748554	And what, in its turn, does that mean?
mdp.39015049748554	And when did you last refill the caddy?
mdp.39015049748554	And where do you get it from?
mdp.39015049748554	And who told you?
mdp.39015049748554	And you think Lady Craig might have destroyed it?
mdp.39015049748554	And you think this will help to clear it up?
mdp.39015049748554	And you — what made you read up poisons in it?
mdp.39015049748554	And you?
mdp.39015049748554	Any finger- prints?
mdp.39015049748554	Any legacies?
mdp.39015049748554	Any letters or parcels come from out of the way corners of the world while he was staying here?
mdp.39015049748554	Anything more in here that interests you?
mdp.39015049748554	Anything to any servants here?
mdp.39015049748554	Anything you've taken a fancy to in here?
mdp.39015049748554	Are the people staying here in the manor house friends of yours, too, Mr. Houghton? mdp.39015049748554 As Mrs. and Miss Lindrum are not coming back till this evening, and it may be too late to disturb them then, may I have a word with your maid?
mdp.39015049748554	As how?
mdp.39015049748554	Ask for Dr. Gilchrist to come to the phone a min- ute, will you, sir?
mdp.39015049748554	Because you like her, sir?
mdp.39015049748554	But I suppose you tidied up the room, put things in their proper places, and so on?
mdp.39015049748554	But by the way, how did you happen to come down to the manor house this morning?
mdp.39015049748554	But how did you know who threw the gravel?
mdp.39015049748554	But is it Miss Bingham, sir? mdp.39015049748554 But nothing, so far, has thrown any light on those marks you found in the garden, whatever they are, I hope?"
mdp.39015049748554	But sometime early last night would fit?
mdp.39015049748554	But the motive? mdp.39015049748554 But what would she stand to gain?"
mdp.39015049748554	But where does Miss Bingham come in?
mdp.39015049748554	But where does Mr. Craig come in?
mdp.39015049748554	But why did you leave us to find out this most important fact?
mdp.39015049748554	But why did you telephone to the chief constable on your own ini- tiative early this morning? mdp.39015049748554 By the way, doctor,"Pointer struck in,"that letter Mr. Craig kept under his pillow the last day?
mdp.39015049748554	By the way, if I should want to send a note to the doctor at any time, you employ the same gardener as Lady Craig does, do n't you?
mdp.39015049748554	By the way,Godolphin asked suddenly,"who in- herits if anything happens to you?"
mdp.39015049748554	By the way,Pointer looked up from the cellarette which he had just unlocked,"did Mr. Osbourn wear glasses?
mdp.39015049748554	By the way,he asked suddenly,"what jewelry has Mr. Craig given her?"
mdp.39015049748554	Can we have a word with the butler?
mdp.39015049748554	Can you give me any idea why the butler should be on Mrs. Craig's side?
mdp.39015049748554	Can you give me the hour when she got here, more precisely?
mdp.39015049748554	Can you remember them?
mdp.39015049748554	Chances for plenty of jealousy melodramas, you think?
mdp.39015049748554	Chief constable?
mdp.39015049748554	Could the countess have had access to the poison cupboard?
mdp.39015049748554	Could you identify him, if it is he?
mdp.39015049748554	Did Lady Craig know of this letter?
mdp.39015049748554	Did Mr. Craig and she seem to get on well together in the old days, or was the running- off on her part rather expected? mdp.39015049748554 Did Ronnie say anything about a paper he wanted to show me?"
mdp.39015049748554	Did he seem at all unwilling to admit the idea that it was poison once it had been suggested by you?
mdp.39015049748554	Did it look different,Pointer asked,"in the caddy, or the pot, from the tea that Lady Craig thought was the same?
mdp.39015049748554	Did n't you ask where she had been?
mdp.39015049748554	Did n't you hear me say I'd go on out to the taxi?' mdp.39015049748554 Did you go out with her afterwards?"
mdp.39015049748554	Did you make tea for him?
mdp.39015049748554	Did you recognize the paper, or rather have you seen any similar paper before?
mdp.39015049748554	Did you tell her of the proposition?
mdp.39015049748554	Do Miss Lindrum's shoes fit the marks of the other woman?
mdp.39015049748554	Do n't touch it, but perhaps you could identify it by the perfume?
mdp.39015049748554	Do the marks tally with any of the women in the house?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you agree with your brother in thinking that she went to his cupboard for poison for herself?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you believe him?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you know by chance the private address of Mr. Osbourn's confidential clerk?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you know if in the message Lady Craig sent by him just now she mentioned anything about the date of the inquest?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you mind if I drive you up and down the road in my car?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you mind if we show Lady Craig your letter, Houghton?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you suspect a big dose?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you think Mr. Craig was conscious?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you think Ronnie guessed it?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you think he is going to die?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you think they came for that missing letter?
mdp.39015049748554	Do you thoroughly trust the nurse?
mdp.39015049748554	Doctor, can you swear, as an honest man, that a pinch had n't been taken out?
mdp.39015049748554	Does it tell you anything at all?
mdp.39015049748554	Dr. Lindrum upstairs?
mdp.39015049748554	Dreadful, is n't it?
mdp.39015049748554	Eh? mdp.39015049748554 Eh?"
mdp.39015049748554	Fish in the letter- box? mdp.39015049748554 For Mrs. Lindrum's deception?"
mdp.39015049748554	Four weeks past?
mdp.39015049748554	From the time that letter you just read was written, in other words?
mdp.39015049748554	Had he any enemies known to you?
mdp.39015049748554	Had you ever suggested to Dr. Lindrum that you would not be sorry if Mr. Craig died?
mdp.39015049748554	Have you any idea how his will runs?
mdp.39015049748554	Have you any idea what became of it? mdp.39015049748554 Have you found out anything?
mdp.39015049748554	He had been in the merchant service; had he any friends still at sea?
mdp.39015049748554	He is well up in his work?
mdp.39015049748554	He's still here, is n't he? mdp.39015049748554 Her father married his cook, you may have heard?
mdp.39015049748554	How can you be surer than you are now?
mdp.39015049748554	How did this letter reach you, and when, exactly?
mdp.39015049748554	How did you hear Miss Lindrum at the garden door?
mdp.39015049748554	How long has this been going on?
mdp.39015049748554	How the deuce can you tell that?
mdp.39015049748554	How?
mdp.39015049748554	I ca n't imagine Craig working to make the sheet look as if it had n't been touched, can you, Houghton?
mdp.39015049748554	I do n't suppose it would do much harm if I guessed that the nurse was Miss Bingham's friend up at the house?
mdp.39015049748554	I only thought of the children — well, what did the two come for?
mdp.39015049748554	I suppose Mr. Craig was a man whose judgment could be relied on?
mdp.39015049748554	I suppose it turns out afterward that the ladder marks and the open window had nothing to do with the crime?
mdp.39015049748554	I think I've seen Mr. Osbourn about Harrow; he's a very big heavy man, is n't he?
mdp.39015049748554	If what comes off?
mdp.39015049748554	If you want a thing well done, do it yourself, eh?
mdp.39015049748554	In confidence, sir? mdp.39015049748554 In looks?
mdp.39015049748554	In the morning the children were taken in by their nurse, and you went in afterward with a paper for him to sign?
mdp.39015049748554	Is anything the matter, Robert?
mdp.39015049748554	Is anything wrong?
mdp.39015049748554	Is he very ill? mdp.39015049748554 Is n't there any chance of its being a forgery?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is she particularly friendly with the countess?
mdp.39015049748554	Is that Miss Cornwall? mdp.39015049748554 Is there any lady known to both you and Mr. Craig who is very fond of gray?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is there any tea in his room at the moment?
mdp.39015049748554	It came ready- made, I suppose?
mdp.39015049748554	It could n't have been by any chance to a Mr. Osbourn, at Harrow?
mdp.39015049748554	It was empty, was n't it? mdp.39015049748554 Jealous temperament?"
mdp.39015049748554	Lady?
mdp.39015049748554	Let me see?
mdp.39015049748554	Look here, ca n't I run down to see you this afternoon? mdp.39015049748554 Look here, were you giving him arsenic, and was it an overdose?
mdp.39015049748554	Look here,Godolphin stopped her,"can you explain about 102 THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY Countess Jura and Craig?
mdp.39015049748554	Looking for a situation?
mdp.39015049748554	Looks new, eh? mdp.39015049748554 Match,"he said,"why did you try to shield the lady who was Mrs. Craig?
mdp.39015049748554	Mr. Craig used to live here himself, I understand, before the house was made into a dower house?
mdp.39015049748554	Mr. Houghton telephoned you earlier today, did n't he? mdp.39015049748554 My mother?"
mdp.39015049748554	My sister went there?
mdp.39015049748554	No; why should he? mdp.39015049748554 No?"
mdp.39015049748554	Nothing has been taken out of the room?
mdp.39015049748554	Now about this portion of a letter Craig refers to,he went on,"have you seen anything that might be it?
mdp.39015049748554	Now, what might you mean by that?
mdp.39015049748554	Now, would you tell me exactly what you did in the room? mdp.39015049748554 Oh, how could anyone have done it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Oh, why do you want me to put it into words? mdp.39015049748554 Oh?
mdp.39015049748554	Or do n't you make theories as you go along, Pointer?
mdp.39015049748554	Paper? mdp.39015049748554 Pretty?"
mdp.39015049748554	Rather sudden, is n't it?
mdp.39015049748554	Reference to poison?
mdp.39015049748554	Ronnie reopened it before you; did you see what he wrote?
mdp.39015049748554	Say — not long after eight?
mdp.39015049748554	Setting her on one side,the chief inspector went on,"does n't Mr. Craig's own letter to Mr. Osbourn suggest anything to you?
mdp.39015049748554	She acted as Mr. Craig's secretary,did n't she?"
mdp.39015049748554	She knows someone is holding it over her?
mdp.39015049748554	She went into the sick- room?
mdp.39015049748554	Since when, Bob?
mdp.39015049748554	So Countess Jura used this new packet?
mdp.39015049748554	So Lady Craig is very insistent, is n't she?
mdp.39015049748554	So the visitor was a lady, and Osbourn was a light- weight? mdp.39015049748554 So you were in the room last night practically con- tinuously from nine o'clock on, with the exception of about an hour from eleven till past twelve?
mdp.39015049748554	So, as a matter of fact,he now asked,"You were really backing up the countess in her desire to be free?"
mdp.39015049748554	Supposing she thought that if Mr. Craig were out of the way, she had a chance of marrying Mr. Hough- ton?
mdp.39015049748554	That I murdered — slowly poisoned my patient, just because he was en- gaged to you? mdp.39015049748554 That ink splash?"
mdp.39015049748554	That you, Ronnie?
mdp.39015049748554	The point is, did they find it?
mdp.39015049748554	Then he did n't go down to Hove till late last night?
mdp.39015049748554	There was a good deal of arsenic in the tonic that you were giving him, was n't there?
mdp.39015049748554	Think so, sir?
mdp.39015049748554	This poisoning of Ronnie, I mean, Bob?
mdp.39015049748554	To help if need be? mdp.39015049748554 To me?
mdp.39015049748554	To the capitalists?
mdp.39015049748554	To whom did you give it?
mdp.39015049748554	Was her manner just as usual, sir?
mdp.39015049748554	Was there any arrangement made by which she sees her children at times?
mdp.39015049748554	Was there any special man with whom her name had been coupled?
mdp.39015049748554	Was there no idea when the marriage was coming off?
mdp.39015049748554	Well, I should n't wonder at the choice of Miss Cornwall,Tie said thoughtfully,"but was it she who shot Osbourn?
mdp.39015049748554	Well, Pointer,the colonel asked, when he himself was quite clear as to this much,"what do you make of it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Well, sir, in confidence, what's your opinion of a man's judgment who wants to marry a young lady against her will? mdp.39015049748554 Well, what do we do now?"
mdp.39015049748554	Well, why not take Countess Jura? mdp.39015049748554 Well?"
mdp.39015049748554	Were you two together the night before Mr. Craig died?
mdp.39015049748554	What about a consultation? mdp.39015049748554 What about the nurse?"
mdp.39015049748554	What about the paper that Mr. Craig signed yes- terday?
mdp.39015049748554	What about weedkiller?
mdp.39015049748554	What about yesterday morning?
mdp.39015049748554	What did I do? mdp.39015049748554 What did I do?"
mdp.39015049748554	What did she do in the room?
mdp.39015049748554	What do you mean by I'did it'? mdp.39015049748554 What do you mean?"
mdp.39015049748554	What exactly did Mr. Craig say?
mdp.39015049748554	What exactly happened?
mdp.39015049748554	What made you think of poison in the first place?
mdp.39015049748554	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015049748554	What was she like?
mdp.39015049748554	What was stolen? mdp.39015049748554 What was your opinion of his judgment?
mdp.39015049748554	What was?
mdp.39015049748554	What's her address? mdp.39015049748554 What's his reputation, sir?"
mdp.39015049748554	What's she like?
mdp.39015049748554	What's your reading of the trail, scoutmaster?
mdp.39015049748554	What?
mdp.39015049748554	When a doctor is a family friend, sir? mdp.39015049748554 When was the last time that you made tea for him?"
mdp.39015049748554	When was this?
mdp.39015049748554	When you went back in again, can you be sure that the medicine bottle was exactly in the same place as when you left the room?
mdp.39015049748554	When? mdp.39015049748554 Where did this take place?
mdp.39015049748554	Where's Match?
mdp.39015049748554	Where, exactly, in the room was this?
mdp.39015049748554	Who knows how anyone really stands there? mdp.39015049748554 Who told you death was due to arsenic?"
mdp.39015049748554	Who told you, chief inspector, that I diagnosed it for him?
mdp.39015049748554	Who took the letter to the box?
mdp.39015049748554	Who wrote these damned murdering lines? mdp.39015049748554 Whom by?"
mdp.39015049748554	Whose are they?
mdp.39015049748554	Why did n't you repeat the exact words used by Mr. Craig, when he called out that he was being poi- soned?
mdp.39015049748554	Why did n't you tell me of this at once?
mdp.39015049748554	Why did she go to the cupboard, and why did she take down the jar of arsenic?
mdp.39015049748554	Why did you ask about Osbourn's eyesight?
mdp.39015049748554	Why did you suspect her of having taken some of the poison?
mdp.39015049748554	Why not take her out for a spin this afternoon?
mdp.39015049748554	Why not?
mdp.39015049748554	Why not?
mdp.39015049748554	Why should he?
mdp.39015049748554	Why wo n't you give a death certificate?
mdp.39015049748554	Why? mdp.39015049748554 Why?
mdp.39015049748554	Why?
mdp.39015049748554	Without fail?
mdp.39015049748554	Would he have been likely to speak of your ar- rival?
mdp.39015049748554	Would you have recognized it supposing she had n't seemed to know who was speaking to her?
mdp.39015049748554	Wrong? mdp.39015049748554 YVhen was this?"
mdp.39015049748554	Yes; what broke it?
mdp.39015049748554	Yes?
mdp.39015049748554	Yet?
mdp.39015049748554	You came to Woodthorp because of her?
mdp.39015049748554	You did n't speak of that missing paper to Lady Craig?
mdp.39015049748554	You do n't dislike her nowadays?
mdp.39015049748554	You do n't think he is going to die, do you?
mdp.39015049748554	You dropped this, did n't you? mdp.39015049748554 You have no idea?"
mdp.39015049748554	You heard the ring? mdp.39015049748554 You mean a woman?
mdp.39015049748554	You mean that? mdp.39015049748554 You mean you felt thirsty?"
mdp.39015049748554	You think it was she?
mdp.39015049748554	You think not?
mdp.39015049748554	You think she kept that back?
mdp.39015049748554	You think there's a connection with Craig's death?
mdp.39015049748554	You were in the room with her?
mdp.39015049748554	You're not really anxious about him, are you?
mdp.39015049748554	You're quite sure that neither of you three gentle- men took anything out of the bedroom?

mdp.39015049748554	201 THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY Could anyone from Woodthorp have got away un- noticed during last night for a couple of hours?

mdp.39015049748554	64 THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY"You think the rest of the marks were on whatever was dropped at the same time?"
mdp.39015049748554	72 CHAPTER V POINTER sat in silence while Godolphin finished a belated breakfast, then, lighting up, he asked:"When did Mr. Craig's wife die, sir?"
mdp.39015049748554	82 THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY"He was right about the poisoning, was n't he?
mdp.39015049748554	89 THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY"Did Mrs. Kingsmill notice what was written on the paper?
mdp.39015049748554	A paper missing?"
mdp.39015049748554	After all, how could he suspect?
mdp.39015049748554	After calling out that?
mdp.39015049748554	Almost stonily she turned to him:"How could the word'poison'have been used in any letter of Miss Bingham's to me?
mdp.39015049748554	And Match?
mdp.39015049748554	And he?"
mdp.39015049748554	And now what?"
mdp.39015049748554	And of course she's poor, else why go governessing?"
mdp.39015049748554	And the ink on Craig's cover- let?
mdp.39015049748554	And to whom?
mdp.39015049748554	And what, or rather whom, had she meant with her bitter"others they wait, they look on?"
mdp.39015049748554	And who was her accomplice?"
mdp.39015049748554	Anything else particularly interesting about the marks, Pointer?"
mdp.39015049748554	Anything else?"
mdp.39015049748554	Anything of that sort?"
mdp.39015049748554	Anywhere near Pont Street?
mdp.39015049748554	Ardmay?"
mdp.39015049748554	As neither of the other two answered him, he went on,"Or even in existence, you think?"
mdp.39015049748554	At once?
mdp.39015049748554	Because one of them is probably looking at us from the next room through the door which is not shut?"
mdp.39015049748554	Because the police are in the house?
mdp.39015049748554	Been meant to witness?
mdp.39015049748554	But from your own?
mdp.39015049748554	But how did you know it?
mdp.39015049748554	But men?
mdp.39015049748554	But now as to letters, well, of course, the Official Secrecy Act does n't bind me in a case like this?"
mdp.39015049748554	But shall we have a look at the garden now, sir?"
mdp.39015049748554	But supposing that Jura were not acting, why was she so certain that the doctor had poisoned his patient?
mdp.39015049748554	But that's how things always happen, is n't it?"
mdp.39015049748554	But the nurse and Miss Lindrum?
mdp.39015049748554	But the reason?"
mdp.39015049748554	But what about Mildred Bingham?
mdp.39015049748554	But what are you going to do next?
mdp.39015049748554	But when had that visitor really arrived?
mdp.39015049748554	But who is Scarsdale?"
mdp.39015049748554	But why do you look and speak like this?
mdp.39015049748554	But why make such a splurge?"
mdp.39015049748554	But why?"
mdp.39015049748554	But, could it find favor in the eyes of Countess Jura?
mdp.39015049748554	Can you show him into the library?"
mdp.39015049748554	Col- orless, odorless, tasteless, what was easier?"
mdp.39015049748554	Could it have been some blunder?
mdp.39015049748554	Could the station- master give any advice?
mdp.39015049748554	Craig's?"
mdp.39015049748554	Craig?"
mdp.39015049748554	Craig?"
mdp.39015049748554	Craig?"
mdp.39015049748554	Craig?"
mdp.39015049748554	Did Match know that the pronoun referred to Mildred Bingham?
mdp.39015049748554	Did he reply to anything you said?"
mdp.39015049748554	Did he speak to you?
mdp.39015049748554	Did it shout too loudly?
mdp.39015049748554	Did you ever hear Mr. Osbourn talk of a client of his, a man called Ronald Craig?"
mdp.39015049748554	Did you notice the address, by any lucky chance?"
mdp.39015049748554	Do you do your own dispensing?"
mdp.39015049748554	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015049748554	Do you know of any address that will find her?"
mdp.39015049748554	Do you mean a newspaper?"
mdp.39015049748554	Do you mean that you're going to pretend, that anyone is pretending, that that word was used between us?
mdp.39015049748554	Does she seem to share his feelings for her at all?"
mdp.39015049748554	Folding it up he said slowly:"There's a reference to poison in the letter we have, you think it means the tea?"
mdp.39015049748554	From affection?
mdp.39015049748554	Godolphin asked,"or is it the Scotland Yard touch?"
mdp.39015049748554	Godolphin bent over a smudge again:"How about those by the wall?"
mdp.39015049748554	Good heavens?
mdp.39015049748554	Got one definite result al- ready?
mdp.39015049748554	Grammes for grains?
mdp.39015049748554	Had she ended with a portscript giving Miss Cornwall any final instructions?
mdp.39015049748554	Hard lines on those two poor little kids, eh, Pointer?"
mdp.39015049748554	Harding?"
mdp.39015049748554	Harding?"
mdp.39015049748554	He bit back an"I do n't trust her,"and said instead,"By the way, just hand me back that letter I gave you, will you?
mdp.39015049748554	He rang off and turned to the chief constable:"Are you coming up, sir?"
mdp.39015049748554	He was free?
mdp.39015049748554	Houghton?"
mdp.39015049748554	How did I set you free as you call it?"
mdp.39015049748554	How did he take it when you first diagnosed his late patient's death for him?"
mdp.39015049748554	How did you spot that she's supposed to be a fearful screw?"
mdp.39015049748554	How old do you think the ink stain is?
mdp.39015049748554	I do n't mean the words; but surely you have an idea of how many lines it ran to?"
mdp.39015049748554	I replied that Mr. Houghton might come in the morning, and he said:'Oh, is it night?'
mdp.39015049748554	I suppose Mr. Houghton has no objection to one of us taking possession of it?"
mdp.39015049748554	I thought he was a very wealthy man already?"
mdp.39015049748554	I wonder what you think she wanted Craig to sign?"
mdp.39015049748554	I'll run you out to Harrow, but what will you do when you get there?"
mdp.39015049748554	If anybody comes up to the gate, as though they might be ccming in, just strike two matches in quick succession, will you?"
mdp.39015049748554	If so, why did he shield her?
mdp.39015049748554	If you could let the time you were in the bedroom pass before your mind like a film and just enumerate all the movements on it?"
mdp.39015049748554	In a room to ourselves?
mdp.39015049748554	In his possession, or in his room?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is it a fact that you yourself stand to lose financially by it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is it anything very private?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is it given?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is she well off?"
mdp.39015049748554	Is this meant to be so?
mdp.39015049748554	It was after Lady Craig and Miss Cornwall and I went up to bed — after ten that is —""And you stayed till —?"
mdp.39015049748554	It would n't surprise you to hear that this governess is in the crime?"
mdp.39015049748554	Just whom?
mdp.39015049748554	Lindrum's horror — Countess Jura's scene with him — was it a well- worked- up play that he had wit- nessed?
mdp.39015049748554	Lindrum?"
mdp.39015049748554	Lindrum?"
mdp.39015049748554	May I come with you?
mdp.39015049748554	Miss Bingham for instance?"
mdp.39015049748554	Miss Yseult Cornwall?
mdp.39015049748554	Mr. Osbourn?
mdp.39015049748554	Next?"
mdp.39015049748554	No?
mdp.39015049748554	Nor a silver tea- caddy with a ship in full sail on it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Now, chief inspector, why had she disguised herself like that?
mdp.39015049748554	One of an early edition, you remember?
mdp.39015049748554	One who does his own dispensing, and who has a sister to help him put up his medicine?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or am I inter- rupting you?
mdp.39015049748554	Or at least toward whom she thought it had altered?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or be- fore?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or do n't you know?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or is it our fault?
mdp.39015049748554	Or near- sighted?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or rather, why not?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or some friend of hers?
mdp.39015049748554	Or was it to a Miss Bingham at some place abroad, Monte Carlo or Beausoleil?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or why did you question her so closely, and weigh the poisons at once—-while she was still there?"
mdp.39015049748554	Or why is there only the one splash and none of the little fry that usually go with such a mark as that?"
mdp.39015049748554	Pointer thought this was quite likely; but which thing was it?
mdp.39015049748554	Pointer waited a second and then said suddenly:"Do you know how much tea there is left in Mr. Craig's tea- caddy?"
mdp.39015049748554	Pointer wondered if the words that followed were not:"She's poisoned me"?
mdp.39015049748554	Popoff?"
mdp.39015049748554	Popoff?"
mdp.39015049748554	Post it as soon as possible, will you?
mdp.39015049748554	Prison cell?
mdp.39015049748554	Securities?"
mdp.39015049748554	Shall I keep this letter, sir, or will you?
mdp.39015049748554	Shall I show him in here, my lady?"
mdp.39015049748554	She waited till the message was sent out, and then went on pensively:"Why is it that death makes such a difference?
mdp.39015049748554	Something connected with the children?
mdp.39015049748554	That I knew?
mdp.39015049748554	That all so far?
mdp.39015049748554	That remained to be found out, or was it from some idea of blackmail, or even with an idea of himself playing the sleuth?
mdp.39015049748554	The only person in the house that is to say —""Outside the house?"
mdp.39015049748554	Then do you mind wheeling that nearer to me?"
mdp.39015049748554	Then he said:"And the letter Mr. Craig found, the letter, of part of which we have a copy?"
mdp.39015049748554	Then was it the nurse who was the accomplice of Mrs. Craig?
mdp.39015049748554	Then why does one feel so about it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Then why not be frank between our two selves?
mdp.39015049748554	This meeting or these meetings?"
mdp.39015049748554	To whom would the word scandal apply outside of the Woodthorp circle?
mdp.39015049748554	Toward the end, say?"
mdp.39015049748554	Want to make sure?"
mdp.39015049748554	Was Mr. Craig's man- ner different, after it, to any member of the household?
mdp.39015049748554	Was he all wrong in his ideas about Miss Cornwall?
mdp.39015049748554	Was he short- sighted?
mdp.39015049748554	Was it the poisoner who had rushed over when the purpose was accomplished to recover the telltale vehicle?
mdp.39015049748554	Was it your usual habit?"
mdp.39015049748554	Was she alone?
mdp.39015049748554	Was that to furnish an alibi?
mdp.39015049748554	Was the Russian right in her certainty, if it really was her certainty, that the nurse had let in whoever it was who had come by the little side door?
mdp.39015049748554	Was this barrier intentional?
mdp.39015049748554	Well"—as an assent came along the wire—"did he tell you that we are hunting everywhere for a most im- portant paper?"
mdp.39015049748554	Well, it's enough is n't it?
mdp.39015049748554	Were n't the symptoms suf- ficiently marked to arrest a doctor's attention?
mdp.39015049748554	Were they engaged at the time of his death last night, or were they not?"
mdp.39015049748554	What about her, sir?"
mdp.39015049748554	What are you looking at?"
mdp.39015049748554	What did he do about your request?"
mdp.39015049748554	What did you want her for?"
mdp.39015049748554	What do words matter?
mdp.39015049748554	What does he say?"
mdp.39015049748554	What does it matter where it happened?
mdp.39015049748554	What in the world could it be?
mdp.39015049748554	What is it I have done?"
mdp.39015049748554	What is she like?"
mdp.39015049748554	What of her?"
mdp.39015049748554	What were you giving him?"
mdp.39015049748554	What's the word the house- agents always use?
mdp.39015049748554	When did you learn about her?"
mdp.39015049748554	Where did she give you the contrary impres- sion?"
mdp.39015049748554	Where had she been on the night when the man whom she disliked, and yet to whom she was engaged, had been poisoned?
mdp.39015049748554	Where had she been that no one was to identify her?"
mdp.39015049748554	Where's a man safe, if not with his young lady, and all?
mdp.39015049748554	Where's that letter I promised Craig to drop in Houghton's box?"
mdp.39015049748554	Where's the part of a letter to which he refers?"
mdp.39015049748554	Who is it speaking?
mdp.39015049748554	Who was it who said,"Ubi aves, ibi —"?
mdp.39015049748554	Whom met?
mdp.39015049748554	Why did n't you leave it to Lady Craig?"
mdp.39015049748554	Why did you lie to me?
mdp.39015049748554	Why has one no premonition of things that are about to happen?
mdp.39015049748554	Why in disguise?
mdp.39015049748554	Why is it that love does not always bring love, but dislike always calls out dislike?"
mdp.39015049748554	Why is that?
mdp.39015049748554	Why should he live to spoil my life?'"
mdp.39015049748554	Why should one not part friends?
mdp.39015049748554	Why, when things come, does one not want them any more?
mdp.39015049748554	Why?"
mdp.39015049748554	Why?"
mdp.39015049748554	Why?"
mdp.39015049748554	Why?"
mdp.39015049748554	Will you test this water in the glass for arsenic, doctor?"
mdp.39015049748554	With Agatha?
mdp.39015049748554	With a ruminating, critical, yet very affectionate glance:"Who is the gar- dener here, sir?
mdp.39015049748554	Without fail?"
mdp.39015049748554	Would any of them be by way of staying with you in town?"
mdp.39015049748554	Would he be free, Houghton asked, to go down into the country tomorrow, Saturday, morning, on a very special case?
mdp.39015049748554	Would you rely on it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Written by whom, and to whom?
mdp.39015049748554	Yet this morning — you think she's in it?"
mdp.39015049748554	Yet, if not for that reason, why was Yseult Cornwall at the house?
mdp.39015049748554	Yet, if that had been her intention, would she not have rinsed out the bottle?
mdp.39015049748554	You can get hold of a little sports car that can do forty?"
mdp.39015049748554	You do n't feel up to it?"
mdp.39015049748554	You do n't think he's going to die, do you?
mdp.39015049748554	You know that it really was brought to you instantly?"
mdp.39015049748554	You noticed the stone squirrel's broken paw, sir?"
mdp.39015049748554	You remem- ber the Daintry Trust Company?
mdp.39015049748554	You think someone leaning on the bed- end here, and holding out a filled pen to Craig, like this, dropped it?
mdp.39015049748554	You think that?"
mdp.39015049748554	You'll go yourself?
mdp.39015049748554	he asked,"apart from money?
mdp.39015049748554	in THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY"The part of the letter Craig mentioned to Hough- ton?"
mdp.39015049748554	no THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY"A lame woman?"
mdp.39015049748554	said Godolphin impatiently,"well?"
mdp.39015049748554	she said a most extraordinary sentence in her detached way:'And why should he not die?
mdp.39015049748554	sold or pawned?
mdp.39015049748554	v 49 THE CRAIG POISONING MYSTERY"Unless Craig was indiscreet when he telephoned you?"
mdp.39015049748554	what'on earth was happening at Woodthorp?
mdp.39015030945565	About getting married, you mean? mdp.39015030945565 About my apiary?"
mdp.39015030945565	Am I right in supposing she is with him? mdp.39015030945565 And Anne?"
mdp.39015030945565	And Phil Carver? mdp.39015030945565 And did you?"
mdp.39015030945565	And do you think Anne would go?
mdp.39015030945565	And do you think you can keep Scotland Yard out of it too?
mdp.39015030945565	And she knows the names of the murderers and where to find them?
mdp.39015030945565	And the rest of the family?
mdp.39015030945565	And then?
mdp.39015030945565	And what sort of atmosphere do you find here?
mdp.39015030945565	And you did n't wait to see what the matter was?
mdp.39015030945565	And you mean to say you never met a single member of the gang?
mdp.39015030945565	And you put them into straight- jackets? mdp.39015030945565 And you sent her away?
mdp.39015030945565	And you think you can be?
mdp.39015030945565	And you think you've discovered something that may lead to the identification of the criminals?
mdp.39015030945565	And you wo n't forget what I said?
mdp.39015030945565	Are n't Sweeter Than Honey 207 you rather jumping at conclusions? mdp.39015030945565 Are n't you funny, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	Are the beauty- shop people in this racket?
mdp.39015030945565	Are you asleep?
mdp.39015030945565	Are you pretending that you do n't know that old Chiltern never lets a man within a mile of Lavender Cot- tage? mdp.39015030945565 Are you trying to make copy out of me, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	Atmosphere is an illusive thing, is n't it?
mdp.39015030945565	Because I asked you to tell me what you know? mdp.39015030945565 But surely you're not running away yet?"
mdp.39015030945565	But what's the good?
mdp.39015030945565	But where are the members?
mdp.39015030945565	But, Tony, you did n't really think that, did you?
mdp.39015030945565	By the way, I've lost all count of time; what is the date?
mdp.39015030945565	Ca n't give you a lift?
mdp.39015030945565	Can I help you?
mdp.39015030945565	Changed your mind?
mdp.39015030945565	Chucking up your job? mdp.39015030945565 Closed rather early, did n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	Come back to the house and have a glass of beer — perhaps a cocktail is more in your line though?
mdp.39015030945565	Could n't you make it earlier?
mdp.39015030945565	Could you find me a ciga- rette?
mdp.39015030945565	Could you oblige me with a cigarette, Caroli? mdp.39015030945565 Darling, something has happenedl What have I done?"
mdp.39015030945565	Darling, what's happened?
mdp.39015030945565	Darling,she cried,"what on earth are you doing here?"
mdp.39015030945565	Deaf and dumb?
mdp.39015030945565	Dear heart, is n't this marvellous?
mdp.39015030945565	Did n't meet the girl, then?
mdp.39015030945565	Did n't mention his profession — or whether he grew bulbs or kept bees?
mdp.39015030945565	Did they tell you they had got Phil Carver?
mdp.39015030945565	Did you notice if they were wearing bowler hats?
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't know any- thing about him?
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't you get lonely living by yourself?
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't you want money?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you expect to get your trav- elling expenses out of me?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you know what I've done? mdp.39015030945565 Do you know why I turned up at sparrow- twitter that morning at Chester?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you like doing things in the dark?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind if I take one of you?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind turning your head to the right? mdp.39015030945565 Do you mind waiting there?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you think she'd live here after what's happened? mdp.39015030945565 Do you want those guys who put out Mrs. Van Dyke and robbed her?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you want to get rid of me?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you want to?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you?
mdp.39015030945565	Does he really think I'm so dangerous?
mdp.39015030945565	Does it hurt?
mdp.39015030945565	Does it matter very much, Father?
mdp.39015030945565	Does it matter?
mdp.39015030945565	Does that matter?
mdp.39015030945565	Does that mean you are not going to do as I've asked you?
mdp.39015030945565	Does your father do this for fun or for money?
mdp.39015030945565	Even to double- crossing me?
mdp.39015030945565	Everything all right?
mdp.39015030945565	For you?
mdp.39015030945565	Found what you wanted at the shops? mdp.39015030945565 Getting married; or is that just eyewash?"
mdp.39015030945565	Giving me a lesson, I suppose?
mdp.39015030945565	Going to make yourself tea now?
mdp.39015030945565	Good lord, nol"What about Estelle's, and the woman Jane?
mdp.39015030945565	Gosh,he thought,"why have I never noticed the beauty that is lying everywhere about the world before?"
mdp.39015030945565	Got a lighter, I sup- pose? mdp.39015030945565 Got a mirror in your bag, Peggy?"
mdp.39015030945565	Had anyone visited him during the afternoon?
mdp.39015030945565	Had n't you better come inside the shop and sit down?
mdp.39015030945565	Had n't you better do some- thing about that wrist?
mdp.39015030945565	Had n't you better see Van Dyke and warn him that your plan has failed? mdp.39015030945565 Have another?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you any relatives?
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you been to bed, then? mdp.39015030945565 Have n't you ever been consciously happy?
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you reported them to the purser or the captain?
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you slept?
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	Have you heard if the police have got hold of any clue yet?
mdp.39015030945565	He did — did he? mdp.39015030945565 He was a good house dog, was n't he?"
mdp.39015030945565	Hell, you are my wife, are n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	How did you discover that?
mdp.39015030945565	How did you get here?
mdp.39015030945565	How did you guess that?
mdp.39015030945565	How is she?
mdp.39015030945565	How soon can you get away?
mdp.39015030945565	Hullo, Van Dyke, is that you? mdp.39015030945565 I do look lousy, do n't I?"
mdp.39015030945565	I do n't know what a Charnaux is, but was the penguin Mrs. Van Dyke by any chance?
mdp.39015030945565	I expect you are ready for bed, are n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	I say, could n't you send your message from here? mdp.39015030945565 I suppose I'm the first guy that's walked out before he was worn out?"
mdp.39015030945565	I suppose you are not aware that I have n't as much as a toothbrush with me? mdp.39015030945565 I suppose you know what you are doing?"
mdp.39015030945565	I suppose you think you know me?
mdp.39015030945565	I take it that now your activities will cease?
mdp.39015030945565	I think you're mad, Tony,she said huskily,"but if you really believe that, will you come straight back with me to Lavender Cottage and tell father?
mdp.39015030945565	I was wondering why you rushed out of London just to sleep — but do you sleep?
mdp.39015030945565	If necessary, you can prove her innocence?
mdp.39015030945565	If you've got to go back I dare say I can pick up an omnibus from the railway station,she said,"but ca n't you tell me what's happened?
mdp.39015030945565	Into infinity?
mdp.39015030945565	Is he a good vicar?
mdp.39015030945565	Is n't that supposed to be unlucky?
mdp.39015030945565	Is n't that tourniquet hurting?
mdp.39015030945565	Is n't there someone to whom you could'phone?
mdp.39015030945565	Is that Charlie? mdp.39015030945565 Is that really you, Tony?"
mdp.39015030945565	Is that the only reason?
mdp.39015030945565	Is that where you are staying?
mdp.39015030945565	Is that your only luggage?
mdp.39015030945565	Is there anything more I can do?
mdp.39015030945565	Is your wrist all right this morning?
mdp.39015030945565	It has got rather cold down here, has n't it? mdp.39015030945565 It might help if I knew; also who's going to do the job.... Not the old servant, by any chance?
mdp.39015030945565	It rather looks as if you meant to, does n't it — packing up and going off with your dressing- case?
mdp.39015030945565	Just where do you think you're going?
mdp.39015030945565	Late for that, were n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	Leave father in ignorance where I am? mdp.39015030945565 Light me a cigarette, will you, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	Listen, Chief; did you tell the police about those two guys with whom you played poker in your saloon coming over?
mdp.39015030945565	Lovel What's the use of talk- ing? mdp.39015030945565 Lucky or unlucky, we are going to be happy and that's all that matters, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030945565	Lucky, are n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	Meaning?
mdp.39015030945565	Mr. Howard? mdp.39015030945565 My country?"
mdp.39015030945565	My dear boy, what do you expect me to do? mdp.39015030945565 Nearly ready?"
mdp.39015030945565	No, he's away, but I expect him back shortly; like to leave a message?
mdp.39015030945565	Oh yes? mdp.39015030945565 Or during the evening?"
mdp.39015030945565	Or for love?
mdp.39015030945565	Rather human, are n't they? mdp.39015030945565 Rather notl But why worry?
mdp.39015030945565	Say, do you know what I was doing when my Ford tried to get into your shop?
mdp.39015030945565	Shall I stay?
mdp.39015030945565	She did n't show surprise or fear or anything?
mdp.39015030945565	She listened patiently to what I had to say, but I could n't get her to speak, except every now and then to say'Why?'. mdp.39015030945565 She's in love with you, eh?
mdp.39015030945565	She's not passed over? mdp.39015030945565 Sorry to be so silly — but it all seems rather hopeless, does n't it?
mdp.39015030945565	Sorry,Tony said quickly;"I did n't answer your first question, did I?
mdp.39015030945565	Still feeling sore 5 6 Sweeter Than Honey with me?
mdp.39015030945565	Still suspicious?
mdp.39015030945565	Sure?
mdp.39015030945565	Thanks awfully,he said,"but sha n't I be a nuisance?"
mdp.39015030945565	That sounds as if you had something to tell me; have you?
mdp.39015030945565	The police have no clue, then?
mdp.39015030945565	The things money can buy? mdp.39015030945565 Then what did he do with the other queen?"
mdp.39015030945565	There's something you've forgotten, Peggy: who told you I shall be bumped off if I do n't run away?
mdp.39015030945565	This is n't a trick to keep me here?
mdp.39015030945565	Tony, are you sure you really love me? mdp.39015030945565 Tony, you have n't taken against him?"
mdp.39015030945565	Trying to find my true character?
mdp.39015030945565	Very sure of yourself, are n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	Was I laughing? mdp.39015030945565 Was it a secret marriage, or did Chiltern know?
mdp.39015030945565	We will be able to get away 186 Sweeter Than Honey together after dinner, sha n't we, Tony, somewhere where we can be alone? mdp.39015030945565 We've been warned not to open our mouths, so you'll forget I've been talking to you, sir, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Well, do you know what you'll do on this side? mdp.39015030945565 Were you in the hotel when it happened?
mdp.39015030945565	What about the bridge club?
mdp.39015030945565	What about your old bees? mdp.39015030945565 What are we going to say to father?"
mdp.39015030945565	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015030945565	What are you thinking, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	What are you trying to do?
mdp.39015030945565	What are you waiting for? mdp.39015030945565 What are you working on?"
mdp.39015030945565	What did the grocer tell you?
mdp.39015030945565	What do they want me for?
mdp.39015030945565	What do you know about that? mdp.39015030945565 What do you know about that?
mdp.39015030945565	What do you mean? mdp.39015030945565 What else could I think?"
mdp.39015030945565	What is the matter, are you cold?
mdp.39015030945565	What made you do that?
mdp.39015030945565	What on earth are you up to?
mdp.39015030945565	What the devil have you been up to?
mdp.39015030945565	What the hell —?
mdp.39015030945565	What was he like?
mdp.39015030945565	What were they like? mdp.39015030945565 What's happened to Thorbic, the Alsatian?
mdp.39015030945565	What's that nonsense about being an old man, Daddy? mdp.39015030945565 What's the good of that?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's the great idea?
mdp.39015030945565	What's the joke?
mdp.39015030945565	What's the riot?
mdp.39015030945565	What's wrong with my shirt? mdp.39015030945565 When are you going to find out?"
mdp.39015030945565	When can I see you?
mdp.39015030945565	When did you last see Mr. Chiltern alive — the exact time?
mdp.39015030945565	When your call comes through, how long will you be talking?
mdp.39015030945565	Where are we lunching?
mdp.39015030945565	Where are you going?
mdp.39015030945565	Where are you staying?
mdp.39015030945565	Where did you go when you left Brook Street?
mdp.39015030945565	Where does this girl Anne come into it?
mdp.39015030945565	Where is Miss Anne's dog?
mdp.39015030945565	Where is she?
mdp.39015030945565	Where should we be?
mdp.39015030945565	Where were you when it happened?
mdp.39015030945565	Where's the key now?
mdp.39015030945565	Who prevented you? mdp.39015030945565 Who says it was n't?"
mdp.39015030945565	Who told you that I was to be bumped off?
mdp.39015030945565	Why did n't you let me know you were coming?
mdp.39015030945565	Why do you say that?
mdp.39015030945565	Why do you say that?
mdp.39015030945565	Why must youth always be cynical?
mdp.39015030945565	Why not?
mdp.39015030945565	Why not?
mdp.39015030945565	Why should I fool you?
mdp.39015030945565	Why should n't I? mdp.39015030945565 Why?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why?
mdp.39015030945565	Why?
mdp.39015030945565	Will that be all right for you?
mdp.39015030945565	Will you say grace, Vicar?
mdp.39015030945565	Will you smoke a cigar, sir?
mdp.39015030945565	Will you try one, Vicar? mdp.39015030945565 With bath — sorry, you call it'barth'over here, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Wo n't you finish your liqueur?
mdp.39015030945565	Would n't you like to hear what a good story I can make out of nothing?
mdp.39015030945565	Would you give this to Miss Peggy? mdp.39015030945565 Would you say she was a happy woman?"
mdp.39015030945565	Yes, what's the idea?
mdp.39015030945565	Yes?
mdp.39015030945565	You Americans talk big, but when it comes to doing anything definite"What's her address?
mdp.39015030945565	You are asking rather a lot of me, are n't you, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	You are asking rather a lot, are n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	You are certain there can be no mistake? mdp.39015030945565 You came over here on the same ship as Mr. Van Dyke 60 Sweeter Than Honey 61 and his wife?
mdp.39015030945565	You can identify both these men, monsieur?
mdp.39015030945565	You can imagine her doing a thing like that, ca n't you? mdp.39015030945565 You did n't expect to find me here, did you?"
mdp.39015030945565	You do n't know?
mdp.39015030945565	You do n't mind? mdp.39015030945565 You do n't mind?"
mdp.39015030945565	You do n't think I really care for them?
mdp.39015030945565	You know exactly what you want, do n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	You make a habit of travelling light, do n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	You mean nursing? mdp.39015030945565 You mean — he's been given the job to get me?"
mdp.39015030945565	You saw me leaving the hotel, did n't you?
mdp.39015030945565	You still like my dress, now you see it on me?
mdp.39015030945565	You understand?
mdp.39015030945565	You were here when the robbery took place?
mdp.39015030945565	You would be afraid — to go back?
mdp.39015030945565	You're an Italian, are n't you? mdp.39015030945565 You're sure of getting him?"
mdp.39015030945565	You've friends in Cookham?
mdp.39015030945565	You've missed a wonderful story, have n't you? mdp.39015030945565 Your bees, for example?"
mdp.39015030945565	... Is anything wrong?
mdp.39015030945565	.?"
mdp.39015030945565	104 Sweeter Than Honey"Why does a cat play with a mouse?
mdp.39015030945565	118 Sweeter Than Honey"Are you coming with me?"
mdp.39015030945565	262 Sweeter Than Honey"Whom can you be sure of except yourself?
mdp.39015030945565	30 Sweeter Than Honey"Things happen to you very easily, do n't they?"
mdp.39015030945565	68 Sweeter Than Honey But could he play lover and crime detector at the same time?
mdp.39015030945565	80 Sweeter Than Honey"And you would n't trust a stranger with either?"
mdp.39015030945565	A telephonist at the exchange asked his number:"Can you take a telegram for Tony Howard?"
mdp.39015030945565	All over the world, I mean?
mdp.39015030945565	Am I never to have any secrets from you?
mdp.39015030945565	Am I not to have a life of my own?"
mdp.39015030945565	Am I right in suggesting that you have been doing a little amateur detective work yourself?"
mdp.39015030945565	Am I sure?
mdp.39015030945565	Am I talking a lot of nonsense, sweetheart?
mdp.39015030945565	And one thing more before it's too late, sweetheart: you know there's not much security in the life I'm offering you?
mdp.39015030945565	And these investments he has made on behalf of his daughter, where did they come from?"
mdp.39015030945565	And what did you say?"
mdp.39015030945565	And what was love?
mdp.39015030945565	And when I do, you'll give me a break, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	And when I say love I mean — hell, what does anyone mean when they talk about love?"
mdp.39015030945565	And why should not she?
mdp.39015030945565	Anne can join you afterwards — I'll arrange that. ” “ Where are the Van Dyke jewels? ” “ I do n't know.
mdp.39015030945565	Anne said:"Shall we go, Tony?"
mdp.39015030945565	Anne said:"Why did you send me those flowers?
mdp.39015030945565	Anne's lying down in her room upstairs; they've just taken tea up — perhaps you'd like to join her?"
mdp.39015030945565	Any objection?"
mdp.39015030945565	Any use my seeing this guy in Amster- dam?"
mdp.39015030945565	Anything else?"
mdp.39015030945565	Are n't I a damned fool, darling — or are you just being awkward?
mdp.39015030945565	Are these for the frightened bride to carry?"
mdp.39015030945565	Are you all right?"
mdp.39015030945565	Are you looking for someone?"
mdp.39015030945565	Are you serious?"
mdp.39015030945565	Are you shadowing me because you still suspect me?"
mdp.39015030945565	As he was leaving her she said:"What about your arm, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	As soon as the in- spector had gone, he said:"Got anything, Tony?"
mdp.39015030945565	As they reached Sweeter Than Honey 89"What's that?
mdp.39015030945565	But ca n't you realize that I feel as if I was standing on my head at the present moment?
mdp.39015030945565	But they'll be all right there until Monday, wo n't they?"
mdp.39015030945565	But why should he want Anne sent to Chester with a lot of brassieres?
mdp.39015030945565	But why this frantic haste?"
mdp.39015030945565	By the way, does your wife know that I'm here?
mdp.39015030945565	By the way, sha n't I want a passport?"
mdp.39015030945565	By the way, when do you start?"
mdp.39015030945565	By the way, you never saw him when you were at the'Mag- nificent'did you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Ca n't you realize now you are here how fantastic it is?
mdp.39015030945565	Can you explain this tomfoolery, Vibart?"
mdp.39015030945565	Can you find your way home from here?
mdp.39015030945565	Can you give me anything about Van Dyke?"
mdp.39015030945565	Can you give me his name?"
mdp.39015030945565	Caroli?"
mdp.39015030945565	Caroli?"
mdp.39015030945565	Chiltern gave him a cigar, waited until he'd lit it, then said,"Why?"
mdp.39015030945565	Clothes and jewels?"
mdp.39015030945565	Could n't you get me the Woman's Gossip column on your Chicago paper?
mdp.39015030945565	Could n't you persuade him to pass some of his wealth on to us?"
mdp.39015030945565	Cut out my few friends?"
mdp.39015030945565	D'you like travelling?
mdp.39015030945565	Darling, you do n't mean to say you and Tony have fallen for each other?
mdp.39015030945565	Did anyone notice a red Hispano?"
mdp.39015030945565	Did that cop, who took the number of my car, see you get into it and drive off with me?"
mdp.39015030945565	Did they know they were being followed?
mdp.39015030945565	Did they know they were being followed?
mdp.39015030945565	Did you mention my name to her?"
mdp.39015030945565	Did you notice anyone playing at the same table with him?"
mdp.39015030945565	Did you play cards at all during the voyage?"
mdp.39015030945565	Did you see anything?"
mdp.39015030945565	Did you supply his wife with a two- way- stretch abdominal?"
mdp.39015030945565	Disappointed I have n't?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't think I'm not trust- ing you, Tony, but would n't it be wise to let Scotland Yard in on your information?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't you find it exciting?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't you know that if you're in love, you are always alone?
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't you think people are awfully funny?
mdp.39015030945565	Do n't you want to come?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do we keep straight on?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you feel that?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you know the feeling?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you know what we've done?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you know who his lawyer was?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you love her enough to leave her?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind getting my shoes and stockings?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind going?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind if I sit down — and smoke?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind switching on the light?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind taking Howard into the house and telling Anne we're ready for supper, while I shut up the workshop?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you mind?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you realize you're the only thing I really care for?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you really love her, or are you just having a bit of fun?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you think Anne will be able to keep it?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you think they'll find the man who did it?"
mdp.39015030945565	Do you think we might stroll over and see what's happening?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you think you can find me a real English field?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you think you could cut civilization and settle down in Java?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you want me to express all my thoughts and all my feelings?
mdp.39015030945565	Do you work the big hotels together?
mdp.39015030945565	Does he want you to marry a big business, or big finance, or an estate with a coronet on its owner's pants?
mdp.39015030945565	Does she belong to the gang?"
mdp.39015030945565	Enough to double- cross her own father?"
mdp.39015030945565	Feel all right now?
mdp.39015030945565	Feel more like telling me who killed Mrs. Van Dyke?
mdp.39015030945565	Forgive me —""For what?"
mdp.39015030945565	Gee, if a girl can get a home of her own like this and every luxury she wants by pressing a button, why marry?"
mdp.39015030945565	Get me?"
mdp.39015030945565	Going to hand me over to the police on suspicion? ” “ Annel Ca n't you stop this play- acting?
mdp.39015030945565	Going to hand me over to the police on suspicion? ” “ Annel Ca n't you stop this play- acting?
mdp.39015030945565	Got any clothes with you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Had he been to the opera?
mdp.39015030945565	Had she any visitors this afternoon? ” The maid shook her head.
mdp.39015030945565	Had something he'd said the previous night frightened her?
mdp.39015030945565	Has it occurred to you that in going back with Anne you're walking straight into a trap?"
mdp.39015030945565	Has she got money, this blue- eyed baby of yours?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have a final drink before you go?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have a glass of sherry?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have another drink?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you noticed Chubb locks always turn awkward after about one o'clock?
mdp.39015030945565	Have n't you noticed it?
mdp.39015030945565	Have you fixed everything up for the good deed to be done tomorrow?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have you informed Scot- land Yard?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have you seen Chiltern?"
mdp.39015030945565	Have you seen him anywhere?"
mdp.39015030945565	Hazel eyes, chestnut hair, lovely mouth with a sense of humour — like a ripe plum — had plums a sense of humour, though?
mdp.39015030945565	He found Tweedy in his study at his desk; when he did not look up Tony said:"Sorry to interrupt, Vicar — are you preparing the Sunday sermon?"
mdp.39015030945565	He gazed upstream in silence for nearly a minute, then said in a quiet voice:"That's great, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030945565	He glanced at Tony's wrist:"Had an accident?"
mdp.39015030945565	He had not meant to say that, but he carried on:"You feel the same, do n't you, Anne?"
mdp.39015030945565	He listened to Sweeter Than Honey 43"In what part of the hotel were you when the jewels were stolen?"
mdp.39015030945565	He said:"Would you like him to marry us?"
mdp.39015030945565	He turned to Tony:"You'll come back with us, monsieur?
mdp.39015030945565	Hell, why had she run away?
mdp.39015030945565	Hie, what did you do that for?"
mdp.39015030945565	How are you going to get to London, though?"
mdp.39015030945565	How did she take the news of her father's death?"
mdp.39015030945565	How do you expect me to behave when I am your wife?
mdp.39015030945565	How is Anne bearing up?"
mdp.39015030945565	How is Anne?
mdp.39015030945565	How long are we likely to be here?"
mdp.39015030945565	How long does it take to get a special licence?"
mdp.39015030945565	How long have I got before we start for the church?"
mdp.39015030945565	How long have you known her?"
mdp.39015030945565	How long was she here? ” “ Oh yes, I never left the room.
mdp.39015030945565	How long will you be?"
mdp.39015030945565	How much are you giving me, Murdock?
mdp.39015030945565	How much do you want?"
mdp.39015030945565	Howard?"
mdp.39015030945565	Howard?"
mdp.39015030945565	Howard?"
mdp.39015030945565	I bet she was shocked — or had n't she heard?"
mdp.39015030945565	I did n't see him put them in the hive, did you?"
mdp.39015030945565	I do n't suppose we shall be away for more than a few weeks, shall we?"
mdp.39015030945565	I mean, will you expect me never to go out without telling you where I am going?
mdp.39015030945565	I shall feel rather windy — he means a lot to you, does n't he?"
mdp.39015030945565	I suppose the man Ser- bermann here has n't been any good?"
mdp.39015030945565	I'd better call you Tony, had n't I?
mdp.39015030945565	I'm afraid I must ask —""Why I did n't give a description of a man to the police earlier?
mdp.39015030945565	If you were n't running away what did you take that dressing- case for?"
mdp.39015030945565	Instead of answering Chiltern's question, Tony said:"Just what have you got against me?"
mdp.39015030945565	Is Mrs. Van Dyke badly injured?"
mdp.39015030945565	Is Nurse your second name?
mdp.39015030945565	Is n't that enough?"
mdp.39015030945565	Is your father a duke, or a lord, or what?"
mdp.39015030945565	It is all right is n't it?
mdp.39015030945565	It is n't time to get up, is it?"
mdp.39015030945565	It was n't an accident as they reported in the papers? ” Tony said: “ An accident that was arranged!
mdp.39015030945565	It was n't easy to lie to Chiltern — yet was n't the old man lying to him?
mdp.39015030945565	It's about time I was going, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030945565	Just before they reached the aerodrome Anne turned to him and said:"Do you believe what Tony has told you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Meanwhile, could n't you just stay put for a few minutes?"
mdp.39015030945565	Mrs. Van Dyke just called her Peggy. ” “ A blonde, young and attractive? ” The maid nodded.
mdp.39015030945565	Murdock's voice came over the wire:"Is that Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	No cry for help? ” “ I did n't hear a sound.
mdp.39015030945565	Nothing I can do for you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Nothing wrong, is there?"
mdp.39015030945565	Now will you believe that, if you stop here, you're for it?"
mdp.39015030945565	Now, did you see any suspicious or queer characters about the hotel?"
mdp.39015030945565	Now, then, do you still feel dumb?"
mdp.39015030945565	Now, then, who killed Mrs. Van Dyke?"
mdp.39015030945565	Now, would n't it save time to tell me what you know, Tony?"
mdp.39015030945565	Of course you know why I butted in on this?
mdp.39015030945565	Of course, you've heard what's happened?"
mdp.39015030945565	Of what are you scared?"
mdp.39015030945565	Oh, Tony, will that happen?
mdp.39015030945565	Oh, do n't you understand, darling, the truth is I'm so terribly in love with you I just want you all to myself?
mdp.39015030945565	One does know, does n't one, Peggy?"
mdp.39015030945565	Or did you think marriage would be a short cut to finding the murderers?"
mdp.39015030945565	Or had it been just a pose, Sweeter Than Honey 223 part of the game he played?
mdp.39015030945565	Or had the accident outside Jane's shop been staged?
mdp.39015030945565	Or was he beginning to think that way because he loved Anne, and was afraid of implicating her?
mdp.39015030945565	Or was n't she?
mdp.39015030945565	Peggy and Anne and old Chiltern, the bee- keeper?
mdp.39015030945565	Perhaps she would recognize it?
mdp.39015030945565	Queer, is n't it, in order to make big money you must make dirt?
mdp.39015030945565	Rather fun, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030945565	Say, Vicar, what about going across to your place and getting the key of the workshop?"
mdp.39015030945565	Say, do you compose your beauty hints on that machine?"
mdp.39015030945565	Say, what sort of rough house do you call this?"
mdp.39015030945565	Say, what were you doing at the'Mag- nificent'this afternoon?"
mdp.39015030945565	Shall I find you here, say, about mid- day?"
mdp.39015030945565	Shall I see you in the morning or am I to remain a prisoner in the hotel till it is time to catch the train?"
mdp.39015030945565	Shall we call it fifty- fifty?
mdp.39015030945565	Shall we get used to one another, I mean?"
mdp.39015030945565	Shall we go out?
mdp.39015030945565	Shall we have dinner sent up here?
mdp.39015030945565	She hardly realized what she was doing... or was she just a marvellous actress?
mdp.39015030945565	She ordered a dozen pairs and gave Tony a quick glance:"Is that all right?"
mdp.39015030945565	She said in a calm, detached voice:"Now mv father is dead do you still suspect him, Tony?"
mdp.39015030945565	She said,"What do you want?"
mdp.39015030945565	She said:"Why have you suddenly gone dumb?
mdp.39015030945565	She turned as he approached, and he said quickly:"Can you tell me where Mr. Chiltern is?"
mdp.39015030945565	She was a good mistress to you, was n't she?
mdp.39015030945565	She was a nice old thing, but still, a woman who goes about with thousands of pounds worth of jewels is asking for trouble, is n't she?"
mdp.39015030945565	She was trying to hate him without any reason, but curiosity prompted her to say:"Meaning?"
mdp.39015030945565	Should I have married her otherwise?
mdp.39015030945565	Si4 Sweeter Than Honey 315"Who is he?"
mdp.39015030945565	So do you mind going — and getting on with your job?"
mdp.39015030945565	Staying down here?
mdp.39015030945565	Subconsciously I've always suspected her.... Do you know anything about her, Peggy?
mdp.39015030945565	Sup- pose you have n't time to meet father and have a drink?"
mdp.39015030945565	Sweeter Than Honey 281 what was the source?
mdp.39015030945565	Talking a lot, are n't I?
mdp.39015030945565	Tell me this, though, about how long elapsed between the time the girl Peggy went and you left the bathroom and discovered what had happened?"
mdp.39015030945565	That was an idea, but why did she suggest it?
mdp.39015030945565	That was clever of me, was n't it?"
mdp.39015030945565	That's a bet?"
mdp.39015030945565	The perfect murder?
mdp.39015030945565	The porter swung the revolving doors for them:"Taxi?"
mdp.39015030945565	There's nothing I would n't do for you — understand?
mdp.39015030945565	There's something in what artists call atmosphere, is n't there?"
mdp.39015030945565	They're wonderful — where did you get them?"
mdp.39015030945565	Tony said:"What time did you leave the hotel?"
mdp.39015030945565	Tony said:"You do n't believe what I said?
mdp.39015030945565	Tony, why ca n't human beings grow old gracefully?
mdp.39015030945565	Vamp the old man?"
mdp.39015030945565	Was it chance that had crashed him right outside Anne's shop door, and induced her to take him in and bind up his wrist?
mdp.39015030945565	Was it imagina- tion, or was it memory that made her still young and beautiful, the city of light and laughter and love?
mdp.39015030945565	Was it just a physical necessity — a sexual impulse shared with ani- mals?
mdp.39015030945565	Was it murder?
mdp.39015030945565	Was it possible he could have grown tired of the game?
mdp.39015030945565	Was it right or wise to give up a good job and a good home for a man she had only met a few days ago, and about whom she knew noth- ing?
mdp.39015030945565	Was it something born of habit?
mdp.39015030945565	Was she acting?
mdp.39015030945565	Was she certain what exactly her urge was, and where it would lead her?
mdp.39015030945565	Was the casserole to Tony's liking?
mdp.39015030945565	We've been talking for a devil of a time, have n't we?
mdp.39015030945565	Well, if you're not a detective why are you following me back to London?
mdp.39015030945565	Well, shall I tell you who killed Chiltern?
mdp.39015030945565	Were they heirlooms, he wondered, or were some of those stones the results of raids on jewellers'shops, hotels, and private houses?
mdp.39015030945565	What about blowing a whistle?"
mdp.39015030945565	What about finishing this tango, though?"
mdp.39015030945565	What about having a bit of dinner together tonight in the restaurant at nine o'clock?"
mdp.39015030945565	What about the Blue Kitten Club just off Bruton Street?
mdp.39015030945565	What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015030945565	What are you going to do with the honey?"
mdp.39015030945565	What are you thinking about?"
mdp.39015030945565	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015030945565	What did it matter, he again asked himself savagely, what she was or what he was?
mdp.39015030945565	What do you really want?"
mdp.39015030945565	What does the Bible say about it?
mdp.39015030945565	What have you got in that box?"
mdp.39015030945565	What made you think of a picnic, Tony?"
mdp.39015030945565	What was the name of the Dutch informant?"
mdp.39015030945565	What was the secret of her magic?
mdp.39015030945565	What were they doing in the Palace at the present moment?
mdp.39015030945565	What will she do?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's he going to do?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's she do?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's the good of it, anyway?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's the great idea?
mdp.39015030945565	What's the idea?
mdp.39015030945565	What's the idea?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's the matter?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's the trouble?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's this?"
mdp.39015030945565	What's wrong with me?
mdp.39015030945565	When Anne gave him the receipt, he glanced at his watch and said:"You have n't forgotten our luncheon appointment?
mdp.39015030945565	When Tony left Anne to dress for dinner, she said:"Everything's all right now, Tony, is n't it?
mdp.39015030945565	When do you expect Williamson's man?"
mdp.39015030945565	When he had finished, Wrench said:"You've no reason for suspecting Tweedy?"
mdp.39015030945565	When he hesitated she said:"Or do you think I'm setting a trap for you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Where are the police?
mdp.39015030945565	Where can I find you if I want you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Where did you get this section of honey?"
mdp.39015030945565	Where did you put them, darling?"
mdp.39015030945565	Where shall I send the account?"
mdp.39015030945565	Where's Chester, and what the devil's she doing there?"

mdp.39015030945565	Where's your home- town?
mdp.39015030945565	Which was the killer?"
mdp.39015030945565	Who are you — I mean, is this your joint?"
mdp.39015030945565	Who's to know, any- way?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why did n't you get them?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why did you?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why do n't you get out?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why does n't someone run for a doctor?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why has she run away to Chester?
mdp.39015030945565	Why you've got to go back?"
mdp.39015030945565	Why, he wondered, were they being so utterly banal and trivial, using conversation as a screen so that they could hide from one another?
mdp.39015030945565	Why?"
mdp.39015030945565	Will they take me to the cells, or the lock- up, or whatever you call it, or what does it cost to square them?"
mdp.39015030945565	Will you come down to the hall and wait there?""
mdp.39015030945565	Will you have a talk with her?
mdp.39015030945565	Will you smoke?"
mdp.39015030945565	Will you tell me how you managed to identify him?"
mdp.39015030945565	Wo n't you come down?"
mdp.39015030945565	Would you mind if I ran down and saw father?
mdp.39015030945565	Yet what object could anyone have had in wishing to get rid of Chiltern?
mdp.39015030945565	You do n't mind if I start tidying up?
mdp.39015030945565	You do n't want the police in here, do you?
mdp.39015030945565	You do n't want to force me to ring for the porter, do you, and make a scene?"
mdp.39015030945565	You find that, do n't you, Vicar?
mdp.39015030945565	You got Anne to Cookham all right?
mdp.39015030945565	You know the risk you're taking over here if you keep your mouth shut?"
mdp.39015030945565	You know your way about the house, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	You really love her, do n't you, Tony?
mdp.39015030945565	You really love me that way?"
mdp.39015030945565	You said something about being broke a few days ago — sure you are n't a millionaire in disguise?"
mdp.39015030945565	You said you felt the same — you do, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	You think I'm doing right in selling it?"
mdp.39015030945565	You wo n't believe I love you?"
mdp.39015030945565	You wo n't mind waiting a bit?"
mdp.39015030945565	You wo n't run away until I'm through with Little Boy Blue outside, will you?
mdp.39015030945565	You would n't light it for me?
mdp.39015030945565	You would n't, would you — if you were in my place?"
mdp.39015030945565	You'd be happy here, would n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	You'll be at the shop in the morning?"
mdp.39015030945565	You'll have a cocktail, of course?
mdp.39015030945565	You'll sit with me, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015030945565	You're a bit earlier than usual, are n't you, Anne?"
mdp.39015030945565	You're not feeling rattled with me, are you?
mdp.39015030945565	You've brought those queens along safely?
mdp.39015030945565	You've got to get him — do you understand?"
mdp.39015030945565	You've lived here all your life, have n't you, Anne?
mdp.39015030945565	You've met him, have n't you?"

mdp.39015030945565	Your father wo n't turn me into a frog or a newt, will he?"

mdp.39015063560380	Before I look at the papers will you go over your trip from the time you left the house until you returned? mdp.39015063560380 But I was wondering where you were the afternoon Mitchell was killed?"
mdp.39015063560380	But all this melodrama?
mdp.39015063560380	But what could Daddy have been doing on the train with a man like that?
mdp.39015063560380	But why?
mdp.39015063560380	Can you identify that?
mdp.39015063560380	Did Bartlett usually go by himself?
mdp.39015063560380	Did Celia tell you about the ten dollar bill she found in her father's wallet?
mdp.39015063560380	Did either of you find Daddy's watch?
mdp.39015063560380	Did he do much hunting this season?
mdp.39015063560380	Did he hunt much?
mdp.39015063560380	Did you get up the chimney when you were in the cistern?
mdp.39015063560380	Did you hear what Reig and Bartlett had to say?
mdp.39015063560380	Did you know who killed Mr. Mitchell, and Red?
mdp.39015063560380	Did you see who did it?
mdp.39015063560380	Did you understand anything Abe said?
mdp.39015063560380	Do you know the distance you drove?
mdp.39015063560380	Do you still think that?

mdp.39015063560380	Do you think they will be able to convict him, Mar- vin?

mdp.39015063560380	Doc,inquired the grave voice of Peter Crossley,"how many times did you shoot at those ducks?"
mdp.39015063560380	For the dog?
mdp.39015063560380	Friendly?
mdp.39015063560380	Gets you, does n't it? mdp.39015063560380 Granting you're right, what does that prove?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have n't you had enough of that place?
mdp.39015063560380	Have you any idea where we are?
mdp.39015063560380	He had some connection with your business, had he not?
mdp.39015063560380	He'd been with him twelve years, or more, had n't he? mdp.39015063560380 His watch?"
mdp.39015063560380	How about Reig?
mdp.39015063560380	How could you see the ducks you shot at if it was too dark to see Mitchell standing on the shore?
mdp.39015063560380	How did the grand search of Lake Louisa pan out this morning? mdp.39015063560380 How did you happen to go with him?"
mdp.39015063560380	How did you know I was out there?
mdp.39015063560380	How do you know it was Mister Lee?
mdp.39015063560380	How do you know that thing's safe?
mdp.39015063560380	How do you know, Forman?
mdp.39015063560380	How do you make a living, Cass?
mdp.39015063560380	How do you make that out, Doc? mdp.39015063560380 How many matches have you?"
mdp.39015063560380	How would you describe him, Celia?
mdp.39015063560380	Is n't that the solution to the gun being found cocked? mdp.39015063560380 Is that all?"
mdp.39015063560380	It's going to be pretty difficult to do any searching, is n't it?

mdp.39015063560380	More likely, but for what? mdp.39015063560380 Much luck?"
mdp.39015063560380	Not very sociable, is he?
mdp.39015063560380	Oh, you know it then?
mdp.39015063560380	Pretty cautious man, was n't he?
mdp.39015063560380	So the old sleuth ca n't stay away from the trail either?
mdp.39015063560380	Still on the trail of the mysterious watch? mdp.39015063560380 That's something to work on, Pete, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063560380	That's to the left as you were standing, is n't it?
mdp.39015063560380	The snake's sister? mdp.39015063560380 Then Mr. Bartlett did n't accompany you on your trip?"
mdp.39015063560380	Then you do agree that the murderer carried him down to the lake?
mdp.39015063560380	Three miles down, hunh? mdp.39015063560380 Tim Reig?
mdp.39015063560380	Too late?
mdp.39015063560380	Wait just a minute, will you, Ed? mdp.39015063560380 Was Salmon a trapper, too?"
mdp.39015063560380	Was n't Mitchell a special game warden?
mdp.39015063560380	Well, someone hit you, did n't they?
mdp.39015063560380	Well, what is it, Cass?
mdp.39015063560380	Well, what of it, Pete? mdp.39015063560380 Were you alone?"
mdp.39015063560380	Were you near him all day?
mdp.39015063560380	What about it, Marvin?
mdp.39015063560380	What are we going to do?
mdp.39015063560380	What are you trying to prove?
mdp.39015063560380	What do I watch for?
mdp.39015063560380	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063560380	What do you make of the dog being killed? mdp.39015063560380 What do you mean by'quite a spell'?"
mdp.39015063560380	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063560380	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063560380	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063560380	What do you think Pete expects us to find?
mdp.39015063560380	What for?
mdp.39015063560380	What had I better do?
mdp.39015063560380	What is it, Doctor?
mdp.39015063560380	What the devil are you trying to do, Crossley? mdp.39015063560380 What then?"
mdp.39015063560380	What time had we better leave?
mdp.39015063560380	What's the idea, Cass, coming in here like a sneak thief? mdp.39015063560380 What?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where are the Miami papers that were in here this morning?
mdp.39015063560380	Where did he get the watch, then? mdp.39015063560380 Where did this fellow, Bartlett, come from?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where did you go?
mdp.39015063560380	Where is Abe, quick?
mdp.39015063560380	Where's Pete?
mdp.39015063560380	Who is it, Ed?
mdp.39015063560380	Who is it? mdp.39015063560380 Who?
mdp.39015063560380	Why all the secrecy?
mdp.39015063560380	Why did Forman let Lewis go?
mdp.39015063560380	Why should anybody? mdp.39015063560380 Why the canvas boat?"
mdp.39015063560380	Why yes, why?'
mdp.39015063560380	Why?
mdp.39015063560380	Will I be where?
mdp.39015063560380	Will you be there?
mdp.39015063560380	Will, dear, did you get any fish?
mdp.39015063560380	Would n't the windows shielded by the porch be dirtier than those the rain could get to?
mdp.39015063560380	You can ask me that? mdp.39015063560380 You could n't tell anything about how he looked?"
mdp.39015063560380	You did n't find anything in the Simmons house?
mdp.39015063560380	You do n't mind, do you?
mdp.39015063560380	You do n't think he would have hailed a boat which was being paddled silently near a feeding place for ducks?
mdp.39015063560380	You do n't think there is any use trying to trace those papers?
mdp.39015063560380	You do n't think there will be any repetition of what happened last night, do you?
mdp.39015063560380	You have no clock on your car?
mdp.39015063560380	You know where the watch was found?
mdp.39015063560380	You live out near Mr. Reig, do n't you?
mdp.39015063560380	You mean Crossley?
mdp.39015063560380	You're going to leave it here?
mdp.39015063560380	You've been hunting and fishing a long time in this state, have n't you, Doc?
mdp.39015063560380	( Who?)
mdp.39015063560380	( Why was Salmon killed?)
mdp.39015063560380	A man does n't draw an even fifth of his deposits out every month, does he?"
mdp.39015063560380	Abe Nixon: Did he get the counterfeit bills the day he was killed, or did he take them from Mitchell's body the day Mitchell was killed?
mdp.39015063560380	About what?
mdp.39015063560380	After a while Marvin asked him:"Those Miami papers, Tim?
mdp.39015063560380	After all, that's rather a personal matter, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063560380	And if he did know it how could he follow us?
mdp.39015063560380	Any luck?"
mdp.39015063560380	Anything I can do for you?"
mdp.39015063560380	Are things beginning to look clearer to you fellows now?"
mdp.39015063560380	Are you game to try it?"
mdp.39015063560380	Are you going?"
mdp.39015063560380	Are you trying to tell me that someone attempted to kill you both out there?"
mdp.39015063560380	BLOOD ON LAKE LOUISA 13"Taking a walk, Doc?"
mdp.39015063560380	BLOOD ON LAKE LOUISA 147 back to Forman Spence and his employees, Carl?
mdp.39015063560380	BLOOD ON LAKE LOUISA 77"You hunt a lot?"
mdp.39015063560380	But I always seem to run up against the blank wall of: why was Salmon killed if he was the murderer?
mdp.39015063560380	But what about a larger gun — a 10 gauge for example?"
mdp.39015063560380	But what about the gun?
mdp.39015063560380	By jiminy, that's right by Sawdust Ford, is n't it?
mdp.39015063560380	Ca n't that wait?"
mdp.39015063560380	Can I count on you?"
mdp.39015063560380	Can I count on you?"
mdp.39015063560380	Can you fill that gasoline lantern and light it?"
mdp.39015063560380	Could you have covered it in twice the time?
mdp.39015063560380	Did Ed say any- thing else?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did I have the same stuff in me as the debonair gentlemen in the cigarette ads, who remained nonchalant with the world crashing about their ears?
mdp.39015063560380	Did he get the papers?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did he say what he wanted?
mdp.39015063560380	Did the man you heard downstairs have time to sneak back up and crack you on the head, or did n't he?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did you bring a gun?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did you ever hear that expression be- fore?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did you know that his daughter stated that he had made a remark about his watch gain- ing?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did you put the minions of the law to the blush?"
mdp.39015063560380	Did you see Tim Reig?"
mdp.39015063560380	Do n't rattlers run in pairs sometimes?"
mdp.39015063560380	Do you think he's mixed up with those counterfeits?"
mdp.39015063560380	Do you think it's of any importance?"
mdp.39015063560380	Do you think it's some kind of a clubhouse?
mdp.39015063560380	Do you think the murderer gave it to Salmon?"
mdp.39015063560380	Found his still in the woods or something?"
mdp.39015063560380	Full of resin?"
mdp.39015063560380	Has Pete been out here since you were?"
mdp.39015063560380	Has it occurred to you that he might have thought of those papers himself?
mdp.39015063560380	Has the Sheriff ques- tioned Forman Spence himself?"
mdp.39015063560380	Has your practice fallen off so that you've decided to become a newsboy?
mdp.39015063560380	Have I left anyone out?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have either of you heard from him?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have you any idea, Pete?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have you any objections?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have you any objections?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have you any theory at all?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have you been summoned?"
mdp.39015063560380	Have you ever been in it?"
mdp.39015063560380	He said he had to find out where Abe got that counterfeit money —""Were they the same as the one Celia turned over to Pete?"
mdp.39015063560380	How about you?"
mdp.39015063560380	How are you feeling, old fellow?"
mdp.39015063560380	How could he have gotten to the scene of the crime without using his automobile?"
mdp.39015063560380	How did Brown account for my dodging Cass Rhodes?"
mdp.39015063560380	How did he know we were coming out here?
mdp.39015063560380	How is it you do not hunt out in that direction?"
mdp.39015063560380	How many cases have you treated, Doc?"
mdp.39015063560380	How was I ever going to look anyone in the face again?
mdp.39015063560380	How was I going to tell Mae?
mdp.39015063560380	How?
mdp.39015063560380	I have been through all his things this afternoon and it's not there —""Would he have taken it in the woods with him?"
mdp.39015063560380	I settled down comfortably in my chair, and selected a cigarette from the glass jar on the table, then:"Where were you this morning?
mdp.39015063560380	I shot fast — without think- ing —""You're a pretty good wing shot, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063560380	I'm talking about things outside of birds —""Snakes?"
mdp.39015063560380	If he killed Mitchell then why was he killed, and by whom?
mdp.39015063560380	If you think Bartlett is mixed up in this why do n't you arrest him and apply the third degree as used in our best cities?
mdp.39015063560380	Is n't it possible that he left it to be adjusted?"
mdp.39015063560380	Is there anything else you want to know?"
mdp.39015063560380	Is there anything else?"
mdp.39015063560380	It will furnish Pete with a fine motive, wo n't it?"
mdp.39015063560380	Just what did he mean by:'so I seen'?"
mdp.39015063560380	Men do n't kill a banker for refusing a loan —"20 BLOOD ON LAKE LOUISA"Did n't he have Red Salmon arrested for moonshining a couple of years ago?
mdp.39015063560380	Might not he and Reig be in it together, and neither of the alibis any good?
mdp.39015063560380	Mitchell?"
mdp.39015063560380	My car is parked in the next block if I can drive any of you home — no?
mdp.39015063560380	Nice trip, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063560380	Now if our friend had only thought to import a couple of cobras —""You mean these snakes were put in here?"
mdp.39015063560380	Reig?"
mdp.39015063560380	Ride away where?
mdp.39015063560380	Right?"
mdp.39015063560380	Ryan?"
mdp.39015063560380	Ryan?"
mdp.39015063560380	Salmon left those there, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063560380	Say an hour and twenty minutes?"
mdp.39015063560380	See?"
mdp.39015063560380	Shall we let it go at that?
mdp.39015063560380	She probably still thinks I am crazy, for I exclaimed, ex- citedly:"Bleeding from the mouth?
mdp.39015063560380	Sorter one thing an'another —""A little shine, now and again, eh?"
mdp.39015063560380	Spence?"
mdp.39015063560380	Spence?"
mdp.39015063560380	That does n't look like an accident, does it?"
mdp.39015063560380	The au- thorities said they learned, however, that Bartlett(?)
mdp.39015063560380	The man was run- ning and I could not see his face —""Did he come out of the gate?"
mdp.39015063560380	The old Bodman Lumber camp?"
mdp.39015063560380	The question is — would he?
mdp.39015063560380	Then how could he be murderer?
mdp.39015063560380	There's no chance that it was in your store for repairs without your knowledge, is there?"
mdp.39015063560380	They asked me all of them: Why did I want to talk to Mitchell?
mdp.39015063560380	Tie me and my employees up with the murder of my best friend?
mdp.39015063560380	Tim Reig?"
mdp.39015063560380	We did n't know where they were hidden — What's that?"
mdp.39015063560380	We're trying to find out if Mr. Mitchell's watch is here by any chance —""The one given him by the Chamber of Commerce?"
mdp.39015063560380	Were they any cleaner?"
mdp.39015063560380	What about connection with counterfeits?
mdp.39015063560380	What about fire in shack which cleared Cass Rhodes?
mdp.39015063560380	What did he mean by the"snake's sister"?
mdp.39015063560380	What did he use boat for?
mdp.39015063560380	What did they say to Tim and Bartlett after I left?"
mdp.39015063560380	What do you think he was doing there?"
mdp.39015063560380	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063560380	What for?"
mdp.39015063560380	What gave you that idea?"
mdp.39015063560380	What is going to happen in the meantime?
mdp.39015063560380	What object could he have had in that if not to protect an accomplice in his crimes?
mdp.39015063560380	What right have you to think Tim and Bartlett are lying, or that I'm lying?
mdp.39015063560380	What then?"
mdp.39015063560380	What time did you leave here this morning, Ed?"
mdp.39015063560380	What was he doing outside my house at night?
mdp.39015063560380	What was more natural than that he should have had to make a secret trip in its behalf?
mdp.39015063560380	What was worrying him?"
mdp.39015063560380	When did that start?
mdp.39015063560380	When?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where are the rest?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where did I go?
mdp.39015063560380	Where did he get a newspaper in the woods, Cass?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where did he get off telling us he was an amateur hunter?
mdp.39015063560380	Where do you think he is?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where does Tiger Creek lead to, Cass?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where is he, Cass?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where is it to be?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where was he Sunday afternoon when Salmon was stabbed?
mdp.39015063560380	Where was he hurt?"
mdp.39015063560380	Where was he when Salmon was killed; when I was shot at in the Simmons house?
mdp.39015063560380	Why all the papers?"
mdp.39015063560380	Why did I leave Orange Crest so quietly?
mdp.39015063560380	Why did he leave dining room when he saw Bartlett at window?
mdp.39015063560380	Why did n't the writer use cap- itals?"
mdp.39015063560380	Why do n't you go on to sleep?
mdp.39015063560380	Why is he so close mouthed?"
mdp.39015063560380	Why not Reig and Harry Bartlett?
mdp.39015063560380	Why should Marvin Lee have been at the Simmons house on the fifteenth of every month for the past fourteen months?"
mdp.39015063560380	Why should he have brought it here?"
mdp.39015063560380	Will you come?"
mdp.39015063560380	Would I act with calm deliberation, or disastrous recklessness?
mdp.39015063560380	Would forty minutes cover it?"
mdp.39015063560380	Would my actions be those of a strong man or a weakling?
mdp.39015063560380	Would n't he have to pass the Nixons house?"
mdp.39015063560380	Would n't it be pretty slick?"
mdp.39015063560380	Would n't they be in much the same position as Salmon?"
mdp.39015063560380	Would you?"
mdp.39015063560380	You ca n't arrest Bartlett on that, and you —""Did you hear me mention arresting anybody, Doc?
mdp.39015063560380	You did n't hear a thing, did you?"
mdp.39015063560380	You did n't lock the office door when you left?"
mdp.39015063560380	You mean Harry Bartlett in the store?
mdp.39015063560380	You never heard your father mention that he knew Bart- lett, did you Celia?"
mdp.39015063560380	You really meant that, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063560380	You were out on that day were n't you?"
mdp.39015063560380	You're positive you heard two shots Tuesday morning?"
mdp.39015063560380	You've been with Mr. Spence just a short while, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063560380	and"Where is Sherlock Holmes to- day?"
mdp.39015035851354	'Cos why? mdp.39015035851354 An'then you looked back and did n't see me going to- wards the Harbour?"
mdp.39015035851354	An'then you saw me going to the Harbour?
mdp.39015035851354	And have you had a good time?
mdp.39015035851354	And he got it in cash?
mdp.39015035851354	And what reply did you get?
mdp.39015035851354	And you saw him again doing Just the same thing on that afternoon last May?
mdp.39015035851354	And you think that they may be from your Uncle Frank?
mdp.39015035851354	And you're taking it in hand, ai n't you?
mdp.39015035851354	Any questions to ask of the witness?
mdp.39015035851354	Any- body else?
mdp.39015035851354	Are n't we beginning somewhat at the wrong end, accord- ing to your theories?
mdp.39015035851354	Are there any more where you came from?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you going to Join him?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you going to begin to stand up for Barbara Clayton at this time of day?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you quite sure it was your brother? mdp.39015035851354 Are you quite sure of him now, father?"
mdp.39015035851354	Are you quite sure, sir?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you quite sure,asked counsel,"that you remember anything about him at all?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you still doing the blundering work of that fool of a detective? mdp.39015035851354 Are you sure it was he?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you sure that he regrets it?
mdp.39015035851354	But has n't Emma told you that she saw a man 274 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM getting in at my window, and it was n't this tramp she saw? mdp.39015035851354 But how could he have asked for me and for them at the same time?"
mdp.39015035851354	But how did he persuade you to keep here when all the police in England were looking for you? mdp.39015035851354 But it's already insured, is n't it?"
mdp.39015035851354	But none of you went down to Greathampton?
mdp.39015035851354	But they asked you, did n't they, whether you had seen anybody on that afternoon? mdp.39015035851354 But what shall I say, sir, when they recognise me?"
mdp.39015035851354	But where does the Watson come in? mdp.39015035851354 But why should he be startled?"
mdp.39015035851354	But you have already had the police making those in- quiries there, have n't you?
mdp.39015035851354	But you'll come to dinner, wo n't you?
mdp.39015035851354	But you've got Mrs. Clayton down at Redmarsh Farm, have n't you?
mdp.39015035851354	By the by, may I ask if those two gentlemen have anything to do with that Clayton of Redmarsh Farm? mdp.39015035851354 Ca n't anything be done at all?"
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't you do anything for the poor fellow?
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't you say more to me than that, Barbara?
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't you see,Lady Charlotte went on,"why he made this engagement with you?"
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't you see? mdp.39015035851354 Ca n't you teU her?"
mdp.39015035851354	Can you give me her address?
mdp.39015035851354	Can you move, or shall I try to carry you down?
mdp.39015035851354	Come, now,he said,"what are you waiting for?
mdp.39015035851354	Did Uncle Frank do well in Australia?
mdp.39015035851354	Did Uncle William know you were doing all that for him?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he come alone?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he ever communicate with your mother?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he give any indications of meaning to get off to- morrow?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he leave you alone here, as he had promised?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he take the name of Watson?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he tell you what the story was?
mdp.39015035851354	Did he tell you where he was now?
mdp.39015035851354	Did n't he cry out for me sometimes?
mdp.39015035851354	Did n't he send a message to me?
mdp.39015035851354	Did n't she tell you?
mdp.39015035851354	Did n't you take any steps to try and get out the truth? mdp.39015035851354 Did she tell him they were going to Australia?"
mdp.39015035851354	Did you ask your father?
mdp.39015035851354	Did you or any of your family see them off?

mdp.39015035851354	Did you speak to her?
mdp.39015035851354	Did you write to him?
mdp.39015035851354	Did your daughter tell you what she did with the other one? mdp.39015035851354 Did your father and mother take anyone else instead of him?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do n't you remember Barbara?
mdp.39015035851354	Do n't you think it is likely?
mdp.39015035851354	Do n't you think there is any hope of his being found, Uncle William?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you deny,Edward asked,"that your sister went to Australia?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you expect to hear from them again, then?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you know any- thing about a man called Watson,he asked,"who went out in the same ship?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you know how long that man Kelly lived there, and what his relations were? mdp.39015035851354 Do you know if Kelly saw them off at Greathampton?

mdp.39015035851354	Do you know what it was that he did?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean to say that she was simply telling me lies all the time?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean to tell me,he asked in his turn,"that you never heard a word of it out here?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean? mdp.39015035851354 Do you remember my Uncle Frank?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you think father is looking more like himself?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you think it's as bad as she thinks?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you think she knew that it had been committed?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you want me to do all the talking?
mdp.39015035851354	Does he want me still, or does he think I have been wicked? mdp.39015035851354 Does n't he ever come up on deck?"
mdp.39015035851354	Does n't that prove, father, that he ca n't be dealing honestly with you? mdp.39015035851354 Does she say that it might have been?
mdp.39015035851354	Eh? mdp.39015035851354 Even if I ask you not to?"
mdp.39015035851354	Ever suspected that girl?
mdp.39015035851354	Everything I know? mdp.39015035851354 For the gold diggings?"
mdp.39015035851354	Grandchild, was it?
mdp.39015035851354	Had n't you better refrain from insulting her, since she is to be my wife and your daughter- in- law?
mdp.39015035851354	Had they any relations that they saw anything of?
mdp.39015035851354	Had you quarrelled about money before?
mdp.39015035851354	Has William Clayton gone?

mdp.39015035851354	Has he said anything about it all? mdp.39015035851354 Has he?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have n't you been to see her?
mdp.39015035851354	Have n't you heard what happened at Redmarsh Farm last year?
mdp.39015035851354	Have the engines broken down?
mdp.39015035851354	Have they behaved well to the child?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you always been gold- mining or prospecting for gold?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you any more witnesses to call?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you anything to prove that?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you found out anything? mdp.39015035851354 Have you found out anything?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have you had any doubt of its being his before?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you had your dinner?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you heard any news?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you put this case entirely into Mr. Edward Knightly's hands?
mdp.39015035851354	He did not even write to you after he must have known what happened here?
mdp.39015035851354	He has n't been here lately, then — not this year?'' mdp.39015035851354 Hiding something, eh?
mdp.39015035851354	How can I follow it up any farther without going to Australia?
mdp.39015035851354	How can I help you?
mdp.39015035851354	How can you say such things of Barbara, mother?
mdp.39015035851354	How can you, a well- brought- up, modest girl,she went on,"allow a man to sacrifice himself to you in that way?
mdp.39015035851354	How dare you come here and ask me questions like that?
mdp.39015035851354	How do you know that, sir?
mdp.39015035851354	How do you know that?
mdp.39015035851354	How do you know that?
mdp.39015035851354	How does he strike you?
mdp.39015035851354	How is poor Barbara? mdp.39015035851354 How much did you see of him?"
mdp.39015035851354	How old was the child?
mdp.39015035851354	How on earth can you expect to do it? mdp.39015035851354 How on earth could you say you recognised a man at that distance?"
mdp.39015035851354	I do n't know whether I ought to ask you this,she said,"but have n't you always thought that father was quite well off?"
mdp.39015035851354	I do n't know whether you have heard any rumour,she said,"of Edward's extraordinary infatuation for that Barbara Clayton?"
mdp.39015035851354	I found it out,she said —"never mind how — and I taxed him with it, and he did n't THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM 109 me?
mdp.39015035851354	I might Just as well have told it all at the trial, might n't I, instead of keeping it to myself? mdp.39015035851354 I suppose he did n't say,"he said,"that your going back would get him into difficulty?"
mdp.39015035851354	I suppose you mean they would have heard of the mystery of Redmarsh Farm?
mdp.39015035851354	I want to know what you said to her?
mdp.39015035851354	I wonder where he is bound for?
mdp.39015035851354	I wonder whether I could find out whether a child went with them or not?
mdp.39015035851354	If we allow ourselves to think that he may be alive,he said,"how are we to find him?
mdp.39015035851354	If you have tied up as much money as all that,she said,"could n't you borrow some until the company is brought out?
mdp.39015035851354	Is Miss Barbara down?
mdp.39015035851354	Is n't THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM 209 there one man among you all?
mdp.39015035851354	Is n't it darker,she said,"and coarser?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is n't the lifeboat going out? mdp.39015035851354 Is that proof?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is that what Mrs. Clayton thinks?
mdp.39015035851354	Is there any reason why they should n't want you out there?
mdp.39015035851354	Is there anything else you want, Aunt Flora?
mdp.39015035851354	Is there money in it?
mdp.39015035851354	Is this it?
mdp.39015035851354	It was n't Kelly himself, by any chance, I suppose?
mdp.39015035851354	It's precious like the real stuff, is n't it?
mdp.39015035851354	May I see it?
mdp.39015035851354	Mr. Knightly,she said,"does the business of a stockbroker in London take him constantly to Paris?"
mdp.39015035851354	Not bad?
mdp.39015035851354	Now, is n't that the most extraordinary coincidence?
mdp.39015035851354	Of course I do n't,Kelly answered;"why should It"202 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM"Do you deny that you saw her and her husband off in the ship?"
mdp.39015035851354	Of course I do,Kelly said impudently;"why should n't I?"
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, Edward, how can I?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, Mr. Knightly,she said,"do you want to see father?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, father, is n't it plain? mdp.39015035851354 Oh, father, what does it all mean?"
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, it's you, is it?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, she has written that to you, has she?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, what have you got to say?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, what shall I do? mdp.39015035851354 Oh, what's the use of goin'on like this?"
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, what's the use of going on like this, mother?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, why did you get me into such trouble?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, why do you say that again?
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, you have gone to that length, have you?
mdp.39015035851354	See what?
mdp.39015035851354	Shall we go out in the garden and talk? mdp.39015035851354 So they've all gone?"
mdp.39015035851354	Sure? mdp.39015035851354 That you loved me a little, Barbara?"
mdp.39015035851354	Then it's war between us, is it?
mdp.39015035851354	Then that is all you have to tell me?
mdp.39015035851354	Then they took the grandchild after all?
mdp.39015035851354	Then where are you going to take her to?
mdp.39015035851354	Then why did n't you keep all this to yourself if you did n't want it known?
mdp.39015035851354	Then why do you say she was wicked? mdp.39015035851354 Then you are going back to your farm now?"
mdp.39015035851354	Then you only have his word for it that it was n't he?
mdp.39015035851354	Was Frank Clayton sent down?
mdp.39015035851354	Was his demand in the nature of blackmail, Mr. Clay- ton?
mdp.39015035851354	Was it anything very dreadful? mdp.39015035851354 Was the act that your brother committed something that might have brought him within reach of the law?
mdp.39015035851354	Was your brother Frank in England last year?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, can there be any reasonable doubt of that? mdp.39015035851354 Well, is this fellow mixed up in it?"
mdp.39015035851354	Well, like anyone's that could n't have been there, let's say — like my voice, or your uncle's voice, or — or — your father's voice?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, little Tony,he said,"do you remember me?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, now about William?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, then, Mr. Clayton, why not let me into the secret?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, then, where did you see me going?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, what is the answer?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, what made you go away, then?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, what made you run away?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, what was she crying about?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, when will you answer my question?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, will you please ring the bell and tell them so?
mdp.39015035851354	Well, would n't she have said a word in the ordinary way of things? mdp.39015035851354 Were the voices like any voices you know?"
mdp.39015035851354	Were they alone?
mdp.39015035851354	What about it? mdp.39015035851354 What are you driving at?"
mdp.39015035851354	What became of her?
mdp.39015035851354	What boat?
mdp.39015035851354	What can you be thinking of, William? mdp.39015035851354 What did Ned Hodgson say when he got it?"
mdp.39015035851354	What did he do? mdp.39015035851354 What do you call yourself?"
mdp.39015035851354	What do you mean by ordering me to answer your questions?
mdp.39015035851354	What do you mean — what have I done with her?
mdp.39015035851354	What do you mean?
mdp.39015035851354	What do you want her for?
mdp.39015035851354	What else did you ask them?
mdp.39015035851354	What for?
mdp.39015035851354	What has happened to that?
mdp.39015035851354	What has happened?
mdp.39015035851354	What have you to do with Barbara, Edward? mdp.39015035851354 What makes you say that?"
mdp.39015035851354	What makes you take it like that?
mdp.39015035851354	What on earth do you mean?
mdp.39015035851354	What on earth is the meaning of that question?
mdp.39015035851354	What on earth makes you come and ask me a question like that?
mdp.39015035851354	What sort of people are they?
mdp.39015035851354	What sort of trouble?
mdp.39015035851354	What was she doing here?
mdp.39015035851354	What was the name of the man she married?
mdp.39015035851354	What was the name your brother took when he went to Australia?
mdp.39015035851354	What were you doing in Greathampton?
mdp.39015035851354	What were you telling the bees, Barbara?
mdp.39015035851354	What were you watching him for?
mdp.39015035851354	What's that you say?
mdp.39015035851354	What's that?
mdp.39015035851354	What's the good of making all this fuss about a kid?
mdp.39015035851354	What's up?
mdp.39015035851354	What, did n't you know he'd cleared out?
mdp.39015035851354	What, to try and fasten that crime on my brother, as you tried to fasten it on me? mdp.39015035851354 When are you going to marry Miss Barbara?"
mdp.39015035851354	When did you get these answers?
mdp.39015035851354	When was she last seen?
mdp.39015035851354	When you say constant, sir, what do you mean exactly? mdp.39015035851354 Where are these people?"
mdp.39015035851354	Where are you off to so fast?
mdp.39015035851354	Where did you get the money from?
mdp.39015035851354	Where is Barbara?
mdp.39015035851354	Where is he?
mdp.39015035851354	Where was the Ccesar going to?
mdp.39015035851354	Where's the lifeboat?
mdp.39015035851354	Who did you give them to?
mdp.39015035851354	Who do you suppose would be with them?
mdp.39015035851354	Who has ever said that I had a brother in Australia?
mdp.39015035851354	Who is the other girl he is supposed to be in love with?
mdp.39015035851354	Who is this man Watson?
mdp.39015035851354	Who on earth can that be at this time of night?
mdp.39015035851354	Who was the child they took out with them?
mdp.39015035851354	Who's gone?
mdp.39015035851354	Whom did you see hiding behind the dyke?
mdp.39015035851354	Why are n't you going out to them? mdp.39015035851354 Why ca n't you keep away and leave me alone?
mdp.39015035851354	Why ca n't you think of it?
mdp.39015035851354	Why do n't you launch her?
mdp.39015035851354	Why do n't you say the poor little fellow will be found?
mdp.39015035851354	Why have you done this?
mdp.39015035851354	Why should I show you my mother's private letter to me?
mdp.39015035851354	Why should she have chosen to tell you, who do n't know her very well, these things against Uncle William? mdp.39015035851354 Why should you choose me for a confidant?
mdp.39015035851354	Why should you, of all people, come between me and my happiness?
mdp.39015035851354	Why, do you know how he's got on?
mdp.39015035851354	Why, how in the world can that have been? mdp.39015035851354 Why, what do you think can have happened?"
mdp.39015035851354	Why, whatever has come over you?
mdp.39015035851354	Why?
mdp.39015035851354	Will you answer it?
mdp.39015035851354	Will you come ashore with me when we get in? mdp.39015035851354 Will you come with me?"
mdp.39015035851354	Will you go over there and bring her back?
mdp.39015035851354	Will you help me?
mdp.39015035851354	Will you lift this cloud from us? mdp.39015035851354 William said that, did he?
mdp.39015035851354	With favourable results?
mdp.39015035851354	Would you look the other way if you met Barbara?
mdp.39015035851354	Yes, master?
mdp.39015035851354	Yes; do you know it too?
mdp.39015035851354	You are not going to tell me, as the vicar did, that it is my duty to forgive, are you? mdp.39015035851354 You are quite sure he has n't been over in England since he went out?"
mdp.39015035851354	You did n't expect to see me here, did you?
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't know their address in Lowemouth, I suppose?
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't suppose I'm not thinking of it night and day, do you?
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't suppose it was the kid who was found in the river, do you?
mdp.39015035851354	You have told me the truth about these Journeys to France?
mdp.39015035851354	You mean,he said,"that when ho was a boy you saw him running along behind the dyke?"
mdp.39015035851354	You said you saw me going to the castle?
mdp.39015035851354	You say you saw me crossing the marsh road at'alf- past ten on Wednesday evening last?
mdp.39015035851354	You think that he would not be happy with me?
mdp.39015035851354	You told her, I suppose,he said bitterly,"in so many words, that you did n't consider her fit to be my wife?"
mdp.39015035851354	You will make her tell you the truth, wo n't you? mdp.39015035851354 You will, Edward?
mdp.39015035851354	You're not losing your nerve by any chance, Johnny Chinnering, are you? mdp.39015035851354 You're sure you're telling me the truth?"
mdp.39015035851354	You've had a letter from them, have n't you?
mdp.39015035851354	You, George Pickering,she cried,"you've got no wife nor bairns — why do n't you go and save my man?
mdp.39015035851354	'Cos why?
mdp.39015035851354	144 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM"And why do you suppose I am against it?
mdp.39015035851354	254 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM"Then it was that, father, that upset you so when you went down to the sea on that day?"
mdp.39015035851354	282 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM"Well, we ought to keep an eye on him, ought n't we?"
mdp.39015035851354	806 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM"What do you mean?"
mdp.39015035851354	84 THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM"Defence?
mdp.39015035851354	After all, why should she try to spoil a marriage which would give her another connection that she might be proud of?
mdp.39015035851354	Am/ not to be considered?
mdp.39015035851354	And what is the good of beautiful things made for use if you never use them?
mdp.39015035851354	And why have you made up your mind that you will never tell John?"
mdp.39015035851354	And, again, what had become of the other clothes he had worn?
mdp.39015035851354	Are you equally sure that my story of the theft was not a bogus one?"
mdp.39015035851354	Are you sure it was n't me you saw, now?"
mdp.39015035851354	Are you sure you acquit me of knowing how he got it?"
mdp.39015035851354	Are you sure you have n't come here simply with the idea of drawing a little attention to yourself?
mdp.39015035851354	At last she said,"What did you do with the shirt?"
mdp.39015035851354	At what date had she seen them?
mdp.39015035851354	But are you sure you understand what you are doing?
mdp.39015035851354	But do you really mean that there's a chance of the child being alive after all?"
mdp.39015035851354	But he had to tell her, for she said to him:"I suppose you saw that man?"
mdp.39015035851354	But there, what can you do when the women come crying after you to save their men?"
mdp.39015035851354	But what could this young man do to bring home such a crime to the one who had committed it?
mdp.39015035851354	But what has happened?
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't a man have a little refreshment in his own house without being talked to in that way?"
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't that content you?"
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't you see?"
mdp.39015035851354	Ca n't you set aside your preJudices and he kind to Barbara in the meantime?
mdp.39015035851354	Can the thief have carried him off?
mdp.39015035851354	Can you be ready to go to- morrow morning?
mdp.39015035851354	Can you be surprised if I ask myself whether he does go entirely by himself?"
mdp.39015035851354	Clayton?"
mdp.39015035851354	Could it only be because he had disobeyed her wishes and gone on with his quest?
mdp.39015035851354	Could she be losing her hold over him?
mdp.39015035851354	Could she trust it farther?
mdp.39015035851354	Could you tell?"
mdp.39015035851354	Did he say he was going?"
mdp.39015035851354	Did he?"
mdp.39015035851354	Did his mother know how greatly she was trying it?
mdp.39015035851354	Did n't you know Mr. William Robinson cleared out everything at Fremantle and went ashore?
mdp.39015035851354	Did n't you know as she'd gone up to Yorkshire on a visit?"
mdp.39015035851354	Did she say what she did in the way she did in order to rouse him to fury?
mdp.39015035851354	Did she want to open the doors of her heart to him?
mdp.39015035851354	Did you know he was there and did you see him off by that boat?"
mdp.39015035851354	Did you know that William had been over to France on the day it all happened?
mdp.39015035851354	Directly he saw her he said,"Who has been into my room?
mdp.39015035851354	Do n't suppose you remember her?
mdp.39015035851354	Do n't you agree with me?
mdp.39015035851354	Do n't you?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do they look the other way when they meet her?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you come^from Rede?
mdp.39015035851354	Do you know what you can get for being concerned in the kid- napping of a child?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean to say that everybody is cutting the Claytons?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean to say that he's cleared out altogether?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean to tell me that they tried John for the murder of his own child?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mean to tell me there's a chance of finding the little chap there?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you mind telling it to me?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you suspect anyone?"
mdp.39015035851354	Do you think I'd have hanged myself and brought that trouble on my girl for the sake of an oath of that sort?
mdp.39015035851354	Does n't everything fit in?"
mdp.39015035851354	Does n't your brother know where you have gone to?
mdp.39015035851354	Does n't your wife know?"
mdp.39015035851354	Does she say a word about that?"
mdp.39015035851354	Edward exclaimed;"has she been down here?"
mdp.39015035851354	Even your father is less silent when he's here, is n't he?"
mdp.39015035851354	Flora was emboldened by the confidence William was showing her to ask,"How has he spent all his money?"
mdp.39015035851354	Had he a chauffeur with him?"
mdp.39015035851354	Had she ever seen them before?
mdp.39015035851354	Has he had one lately?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have n't we had a lesson of how quite natural actions may look suspicious?
mdp.39015035851354	Have n't you got eyes in your head?
mdp.39015035851354	Have you any more questions to ask him?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have you found out anything?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have you got any matches?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have you no regard for your family and what is expected from a man in your position?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have you thought the same?"
mdp.39015035851354	Have you written to or heard from your brother William?"
mdp.39015035851354	He had persuaded her that it was necessary that he should follow out this clue, but supposing it led to anything, how would they be better off?
mdp.39015035851354	He hardly knew how to begin, but at last he said,"Did Barbara tell you what I have under- taken to do?"
mdp.39015035851354	He hesitated, and then said slowly,"Would you very much rather I did n't speak to him about it?"
mdp.39015035851354	He is a dear little child, is n't he, Edward?
mdp.39015035851354	Her voice rose into a shriek as she wrung her hands and cried out again,"Is n't there a man among the lot of you?"
mdp.39015035851354	How can she have thought she saw me?"
mdp.39015035851354	How can you possibly know what Edward has in his mind?
mdp.39015035851354	How could he confide in a man like that?
mdp.39015035851354	How could she get off?
mdp.39015035851354	How could the body they had found be any other than that of Tony?
mdp.39015035851354	How could there be another child so much like him, killed at the same time, and dressed in something that had be- longed to him?"
mdp.39015035851354	How did it come to be on the body of the child found in the river, whether it was Tony or another child?
mdp.39015035851354	How do you know that?"
mdp.39015035851354	How far have you got?"
mdp.39015035851354	How had William got there?
mdp.39015035851354	How in the world am I to put any faith at all in what you say unless I can check it by what I know apart from it?"
mdp.39015035851354	How long is it since you saw your younger brother, Frank?"
mdp.39015035851354	How old fa this girl?"
mdp.39015035851354	How's Barbara?"
mdp.39015035851354	I expect you put it all down to soft drinks that you're where you are, do n't you?"
mdp.39015035851354	I said,'Do n't you think you ought to stop him risking all this?'
mdp.39015035851354	I suppose he's told this fellow Chinnering, eh?"
mdp.39015035851354	I suppose she was fond of William, was n't she?"
mdp.39015035851354	I suppose there is no doubt of it, father, that he Just scraped together all the money that he could and took it away with him?"
mdp.39015035851354	I suppose you told him about the clothes?"
mdp.39015035851354	I take it you're not doing amateur detective work for the glory of the thing and to score off the police?"
mdp.39015035851354	I will write to Aunt Flora, and why do n't you send a line to Uncle William at the same time?"
mdp.39015035851354	If he has made money at last, wouldn'1 he have sent you your share?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is n't it absolutely certain that if a woman of that class makes no mention at all of a thing like that, she has got some very good reason for it?
mdp.39015035851354	Is n't it enough?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is n't it the first thing that people do when they leave their own country — to look eagerly for the news from it?
mdp.39015035851354	Is there any other way in which he has been different lately?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is there anything else that it strikes you she left out of her letter?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is there anything particular that strikes you about it?"
mdp.39015035851354	Is there anything you've found out?"
mdp.39015035851354	It is because I can do nothing but sit here and think — oh, why was n't I born a man?
mdp.39015035851354	It is n't much of a service, is it?
mdp.39015035851354	It might have been a perfectly sober man who asked sharply in return,"What for?"
mdp.39015035851354	It's the only way, is n't it?"
mdp.39015035851354	It's too serious to ignore, is n't it?"
mdp.39015035851354	Kelly repeated the question,"What were you doing in Greathampton?"
mdp.39015035851354	Like this man Kelly's, let's say?"
mdp.39015035851354	May I ask if you have your eye on anybody you suspect?"
mdp.39015035851354	Now I'd like to ask you, do you call that the action of a gentleman?
mdp.39015035851354	Now what's your news, sir?"
mdp.39015035851354	Now, have you ever seen an imitation anything like as good?"
mdp.39015035851354	Now, how much will you pay me for that?"
mdp.39015035851354	Now, was this tramp at all like Mr. William Clayton? — answer me that.
mdp.39015035851354	Oh, Mr. Knightly, you will be kind to her, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015035851354	One must look facts in the face, must n't one?
mdp.39015035851354	Or was there something behind that she had not told him, and that he did not know?
mdp.39015035851354	Ought you to believe them all?"
mdp.39015035851354	Should he go?
mdp.39015035851354	Supposing that was the ticket bought by Emma Slade, what became of it?"
mdp.39015035851354	THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM 197"What were you doing in Greathampton on the tenth of May?"
mdp.39015035851354	THE MYSTERY OF REDMARSH FARM 285 CHAPTER XLV""T you mind if we walk up and down the upper deck?"
mdp.39015035851354	That was it, was n't it?"
mdp.39015035851354	The clerk of the court rose and put the question in a matter- of- fact voice,"Guilty or not guilty?"
mdp.39015035851354	Then he did acknowledge that he saw somebody?"
mdp.39015035851354	Then she turned to Edward and said,"We will let you know when we come up, and you will be sure and come and see us, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015035851354	Then where was the other man?
mdp.39015035851354	There was Just a flicker of the eyelids; or was it only the flickering of the match?
mdp.39015035851354	There's nothing wrong with him, is there?"
mdp.39015035851354	They do think all the world of blooming funks in our service, do n't they?
mdp.39015035851354	They found the poor little chap drowned, did they?
mdp.39015035851354	Was he absolutely convinced that the man he had seen was the prisoner?
mdp.39015035851354	Was he alone?
mdp.39015035851354	Was he born in the place?"
mdp.39015035851354	Was he carrying anything?
mdp.39015035851354	Was he sure of the time — half- past ten?
mdp.39015035851354	Was it like Master Tony's?"
mdp.39015035851354	Was it possible that she was now really anxious to make up a match between her son and one of Mrs. Mannering's daughters?
mdp.39015035851354	Was she sure that they were gipsies and not merely tramps?
mdp.39015035851354	Was that all right?
mdp.39015035851354	Was that all that had passed between them — all that they had quarrelled about?
mdp.39015035851354	Was that because of the oath his brother stated that they had all three taken?
mdp.39015035851354	Was this all lies, too?
mdp.39015035851354	Was this likely?
mdp.39015035851354	Was this visit meant in friendliness, or what did it mean?
mdp.39015035851354	Were there no bounds to her presumption?
mdp.39015035851354	What ad- vantage would it be to her to find out the truth?
mdp.39015035851354	What an awful thing to happen, and who on earth could have done it?"
mdp.39015035851354	What are you going to Australia for, by the by?"
mdp.39015035851354	What chance was there of that when no twelve men chosen at hazard from those who were discussing the case outside could have been found to agree?
mdp.39015035851354	What clothes had he on when he went off in the car?"
mdp.39015035851354	What colour was the hair?
mdp.39015035851354	What could I have telegraphed to the police?
mdp.39015035851354	What could he have done?
mdp.39015035851354	What defence?"
mdp.39015035851354	What did he mean by that?
mdp.39015035851354	What did he tell you about what had hap- pened at Redmarsh Farm?"
mdp.39015035851354	What did you want to give her money to go away from me for?"
mdp.39015035851354	What did you want to go and send her to them foreign parts for and leave her there to be turned out on the street?"
mdp.39015035851354	What do you take me for?
mdp.39015035851354	What do you think your father is worried about?"
mdp.39015035851354	What else was there against Kelly?
mdp.39015035851354	What had been on his mind when he had spent those hours by the sea — if it was not he who had led the child to his death in the castle?
mdp.39015035851354	What had he done with his money?
mdp.39015035851354	What had she done with the one she had kept back?
mdp.39015035851354	What has she done that they should turn their backs on her?"
mdp.39015035851354	What have you done with them?"
mdp.39015035851354	What have you found out for yourself?
mdp.39015035851354	What is Mrs. Clayton like?"
mdp.39015035851354	What is it?"
mdp.39015035851354	What is she like?"
mdp.39015035851354	What is to become of me?"
mdp.39015035851354	What is your answer?"
mdp.39015035851354	What motive could anyone else have had for the murder of the child so young that he could have offended nobody?
mdp.39015035851354	What on earth do you want to give us such a fright for at this time of night?"
mdp.39015035851354	What part of England do you come from?"
mdp.39015035851354	What shall I do?"
mdp.39015035851354	What should he do now he had got there?
mdp.39015035851354	What steps can we take to find him and bring him back?"
mdp.39015035851354	What time was it you saw him?"
mdp.39015035851354	What train did he go by?"
mdp.39015035851354	What view would he take of it all?
mdp.39015035851354	What was I supposed to be doing?"
mdp.39015035851354	What was he doing over in France on that day, when he said he was going up to London?
mdp.39015035851354	What was it your mother said to her when she came down here?"
mdp.39015035851354	What was the matter with the man?
mdp.39015035851354	What was the secret between him and Kelly?
mdp.39015035851354	What were they doing on the marsh?
mdp.39015035851354	What would he see when he got round it?
mdp.39015035851354	What would you say if I were to tell you that I was wearing a mask all the time?"
mdp.39015035851354	What's that?"
mdp.39015035851354	What's your name?"
mdp.39015035851354	When did you last hear from him, for instance?"
mdp.39015035851354	When he had read the letter over a second time John Clay- ton turned to Hodgson with a frown on his face and asked him curtly,"Do you still want her?"
mdp.39015035851354	When was I paid to hold my tongue before?"
mdp.39015035851354	When was it discovered?"
mdp.39015035851354	Where are the clothes he had on when they found him?
mdp.39015035851354	Where are the coastguards?"
mdp.39015035851354	Where is he?
mdp.39015035851354	Where to?
mdp.39015035851354	Where was the motive?
mdp.39015035851354	Who bred her?"
mdp.39015035851354	Who but the prisoner could have had any reason for wishing him out of the way?
mdp.39015035851354	Who else could have done it?
mdp.39015035851354	Who was the child your sister took out to Australia with her?"
mdp.39015035851354	Who was this Watson to whom he had paid large sums?
mdp.39015035851354	Who were the men who had been specially friendly with her?
mdp.39015035851354	Who would have believed that there was such a fellow in the world?"
mdp.39015035851354	Whom had she seen quite lately?
mdp.39015035851354	Why ca n't you do that?
mdp.39015035851354	Why ca n't you wait?"
mdp.39015035851354	Why do you want time to think over it?"
mdp.39015035851354	Why does n't he answer my letters?
mdp.39015035851354	Why had he done this?
mdp.39015035851354	Why had she gone away so suddenly without letting him know?"
mdp.39015035851354	Why had she turned from him?
mdp.39015035851354	Why has she broken off our engagement?"
mdp.39015035851354	Why should he have done so if the answer had not been in the affirmative?
mdp.39015035851354	Why should he?"
mdp.39015035851354	Why should n't I go acrost the marsh at'alf- past ten if I'd a mind to?
mdp.39015035851354	Why should you take it upon yourself to champion her T What is she to you?''
mdp.39015035851354	Why, do you know that until a week or two ago I never so much as saw a newspaper for months and months?
mdp.39015035851354	Why, do you know what he done when he was a youngster?
mdp.39015035851354	Why?
mdp.39015035851354	Why?
mdp.39015035851354	Why?"
mdp.39015035851354	Will you find out the truth and punish the man who killed my little Tony?"
mdp.39015035851354	Will you stay?"
mdp.39015035851354	William was silent for a moment, then he said,"By the tone in which you said that you seem to mean something, Knightly?"
mdp.39015035851354	William, after thinking for a moment, said that his own words had been,"Then you wo n't do it?"
mdp.39015035851354	Would Barbara take up her tea to her?
mdp.39015035851354	Would n't her letter have been full of it?
mdp.39015035851354	Would she recognise them again?
mdp.39015035851354	Would they dare to?
mdp.39015035851354	Would they go into the witness- box?
mdp.39015035851354	You are not coming between us, are you?"
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't believe me guilty of the murder, do you?"
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't mind having her in the house, do you, Barbara?
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't mind that, my dear, do you?"
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't think you'd better give up your present Job and go into the public- house line, or anything of that sort, do you?
mdp.39015035851354	You do n't want to go up there and meet them, do you?"
mdp.39015035851354	You do not really think, do you, that a girl can be mistaken for long as to whether a man loves her or loves somebody else?"
mdp.39015035851354	You do repent, do n't you?
mdp.39015035851354	You have had a narrow squeak, old chap, eh?
mdp.39015035851354	You know they chartered a ship to bring over a lot of that stuff to make their artificial silk with?"
mdp.39015035851354	You will take me back home, sir, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015035851354	You would shudder at the thought of doing all those wicked things if you had your chance over again?
mdp.39015035851354	You'eard he'd done something that made'em ship bum off, at the trial; but you do n't know what it was he done?"
mdp.39015035851354	You'll find out the truth about it all?"
mdp.39015035851354	You've told us everything, have n't you?"
mdp.39015035851354	asked Flora,"to whom he paid such large amounts?"
mdp.39015035851354	that's how the wind blows, is it?"
mdp.39015035851354	what shall us do without him?"
mdp.39015063551579	A footprint?
mdp.39015063551579	A hobo? mdp.39015063551579 A recent appointment, I think?"
mdp.39015063551579	Ai n't I tellin'you? mdp.39015063551579 Ai n't that the man staying at the Soldier?"
mdp.39015063551579	Allowing only a decent interval to elapse after Teal's disappearance, so that you should not be immediately asso- ciated with it?
mdp.39015063551579	Am I to attach any significance to the word'external?
mdp.39015063551579	An'so ye thought ye'd make the best of a bad job, and return to the bosom of yer family?
mdp.39015063551579	And did he?
mdp.39015063551579	And that was?
mdp.39015063551579	And when did you first see Teal?
mdp.39015063551579	Any liquor left?
mdp.39015063551579	Are those the papers you found?
mdp.39015063551579	Artist? ” Scotton considered. mdp.39015063551579 Bit tough on a man with heart disease, do n't you think, sir?"
mdp.39015063551579	Body identified all right?
mdp.39015063551579	But you eventually succeeded in tracing him, in London?
mdp.39015063551579	Court of Appeal? ” he asked. mdp.39015063551579 Court of Appeal? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063551579	Did you look in the water?
mdp.39015063551579	Do you mind if we go out of our way a couple of miles? ” asked Lord Kesteven, as they climbed in. mdp.39015063551579 Do you think Teal himself may have put it there?"
mdp.39015063551579	Do you think any servant may at any time have kept some in your medicine chest?
mdp.39015063551579	Duck rising this morning?
mdp.39015063551579	Eh?
mdp.39015063551579	Get the address?
mdp.39015063551579	Got any brandy, Alan? ” asked Sir George. mdp.39015063551579 Have n't the faintest. ”"Did he give his luggage to a porter? ”"I do n't think so.
mdp.39015063551579	Have you old copies of newspapers? ” he asked. mdp.39015063551579 Have you old copies of newspapers?"
mdp.39015063551579	He ai n't still out?
mdp.39015063551579	He does n't seem to take things in. ”You do n't think he's insane?"
mdp.39015063551579	He told you nothing about his business with Wil- loughby?
mdp.39015063551579	I never heerd'i m. ” “ Did n't you hear any footsteps?
mdp.39015063551579	If it got throwed away, that means it were n't wanted, do n't it? mdp.39015063551579 Is this the letter?"
mdp.39015063551579	It is not impossible. ” “ How could he have done that?
mdp.39015063551579	It is. ” “ What date does it bear?
mdp.39015063551579	It's not- it wo n't be a confession?
mdp.39015063551579	Just about Teal's age, so I'm told. ”Any case, why should a man carry around another fel- low's birth certificate?...
mdp.39015063551579	Just back for a look at the old country?
mdp.39015063551579	Meaning you do n't believe it was Teal? ”Well, I do n't know.
mdp.39015063551579	Might I have the favor of a few words with you, sir?
mdp.39015063551579	Mr. Teal goin'to be in for breakfast? ” she asked. mdp.39015063551579 Mr. Willoughby said he did n't ask for money. ” “ Then what did he want with him?
mdp.39015063551579	No doubt ye'll have a job to go to?
mdp.39015063551579	No doubt ye'll have a job to go to?
mdp.39015063551579	No sir. ”There was a big darts match at the Inn that evening, was there not?"
mdp.39015063551579	No, sir. ” “ Or any alarm?
mdp.39015063551579	No? mdp.39015063551579 No?"
mdp.39015063551579	Nothing. ”How much water was at the bottom of the well?"
mdp.39015063551579	Oo d’you say'e got into trouble now?
mdp.39015063551579	Oo?
mdp.39015063551579	Or gold or silver electroplating?
mdp.39015063551579	Seem to be any doubt about his being drowned?
mdp.39015063551579	Smoke, old man? ” he offered, sidling up. mdp.39015063551579 Smoke, old man? ” he offered, sidling up.
mdp.39015063551579	So you found it in the pit?
mdp.39015063551579	Teal? ” Mary echoed. mdp.39015063551579 The blunder perhaps consisted in not ascertaining the true identity of John Willoughby before you made the charge?"
mdp.39015063551579	There was perhaps rather the air of a secret about it- of a conspiracy?
mdp.39015063551579	Well, how are we goin'to do that?
mdp.39015063551579	Well, we're taking it. ”Me too?"
mdp.39015063551579	Well? ” queried Fred Mason, as she re- entered the bar. mdp.39015063551579 What about chemicals? ” suggested Scotton.
mdp.39015063551579	What about one of them barrels, sir? mdp.39015063551579 What are you goin'to do about it? ” But Art was not going to be drawn into accepting re- sponsibility for anything outside his legitimate sphere.
mdp.39015063551579	What do you make of that?
mdp.39015063551579	What made you pick on Moxton, if it's not inquisitive? ” asked the landlord at last. mdp.39015063551579 What's left of him. ”"Pretty far gone, eh? ”"I've seen worse, at that, considering the time.
mdp.39015063551579	What's the ghost want with Willoughby?
mdp.39015063551579	When did he leave Mr. Willoughby? ”I dunno."
mdp.39015063551579	When did you see him last night?
mdp.39015063551579	Where'd you get this, old chap? ” he asked, in a tone of subdued excitement. mdp.39015063551579 Where's your home?"
mdp.39015063551579	Why did you give a false account? ”At that time I had no idea that the man was dead.
mdp.39015063551579	Why not let me run you up to see Art now, Sarge?
mdp.39015063551579	Will you show me his house presently? ”Show you now if it's worth a pint to you.
mdp.39015063551579	Willoughby's?
mdp.39015063551579	Would it be just for tonight?
mdp.39015063551579	Would n't there be anything in the local rags? mdp.39015063551579 Would you like to see the chaplain?"
mdp.39015063551579	Ye're an Englishman, are n't ye? ”Yes."
mdp.39015063551579	Yes, that cardboard box up there.. d'you mind, o’man? mdp.39015063551579 You are aware that in these processes, and in photog- raphy, potassium cyanide is employed?"
mdp.39015063551579	You ca n't get closer than that?
mdp.39015063551579	You can give this chap somewhere to lie down, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063551579	You get it, Mabel? ” he asked. mdp.39015063551579 You know him? ” Teal spoke with a trace of eagerness.
mdp.39015063551579	You mean a confession?
mdp.39015063551579	You mean it's no go, sir?
mdp.39015063551579	You mean to say you did n't ask, Maud?
mdp.39015063551579	You notice the date?
mdp.39015063551579	You'll take a glass, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063551579	You're a neighbor of Mr. Willoughby? ”That I am, mister.
mdp.39015063551579	'Do you intend to charge me with Teal's murder?'
mdp.39015063551579	'E's got Mary Reddish back now. ”"Well, she leaves at eight o'clock, do n't she?"
mdp.39015063551579	'You would take me to Norwich, I suppose?'
mdp.39015063551579	... By the way, have you seen the ghost'this morning? ” Art shook his head.
mdp.39015063551579	... Can you put me up here for a while?"
mdp.39015063551579	... D'you think it could have been blackmail?
mdp.39015063551579	... Have you ever done any amateur photography Sir Francis?"
mdp.39015063551579	... Hello, what's this?
mdp.39015063551579	... What about the doctor's report? ” “ Dr.
mdp.39015063551579	... What was the opposite of parricide?
mdp.39015063551579	... Will you take some- thing with me now?"
mdp.39015063551579	... You're pullin'my leg, are n't you, sir?"
mdp.39015063551579	4"You do n't think it was a little premature to charge him?"
mdp.39015063551579	A sen- sual face all right, he decided; and what was all that about the servant girl at Moxton?
mdp.39015063551579	Ai n't I been playin'darts before them young shavers'dads were sucking their milk?"
mdp.39015063551579	And I seed what I seed. ”"Will you show me his house presently?"
mdp.39015063551579	And if it was a burglar, why did n't he take anything?
mdp.39015063551579	And what did he want with Willoughby?
mdp.39015063551579	And why should he have dropped his ring there?
mdp.39015063551579	Anything about his nose?"
mdp.39015063551579	Are we agreed explicitly on the facts of this case?
mdp.39015063551579	At once, you understand?
mdp.39015063551579	At that time, therefore your father had been dead over three years?"
mdp.39015063551579	But where does the sand come from?
mdp.39015063551579	But will you?
mdp.39015063551579	But will you?
mdp.39015063551579	Can you do us bread and cheese, Mason?"
mdp.39015063551579	Clears things up a bit, does n't it? ”"Yes.
mdp.39015063551579	Countryman'e was. ”"Could you describe him, like, old chap?"
mdp.39015063551579	Did you recover that bottle after his death? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063551579	Do you under- stand?"
mdp.39015063551579	Does n't he ever leave a forwarding address when he goes away from here? ” “ Never done it.
mdp.39015063551579	Does that refer to your father?"
mdp.39015063551579	Does this sound very revolutionary to you?"
mdp.39015063551579	Even if there had been, did the jury seriously believe that people guilty of immorality were on that ac- count likely murderers?
mdp.39015063551579	Filicide?
mdp.39015063551579	Had dragged himself to the nearest hedge and gasped away his life with no one to give him any help?
mdp.39015063551579	Had the demeanor of Sir Francis in the box suggested that he was a man who ought to be certified as insane?
mdp.39015063551579	Have you any idea as to how the man can have met his death?"
mdp.39015063551579	He begs his way and jumps a train or a truck when he can, but he does n't steal. ” “ Now, would you believe it?"
mdp.39015063551579	He interrupted-"Can I get up now?"
mdp.39015063551579	He nodded to Mason as he passed him, and Mason said, “ Not staying to see the game, old chap? ” Teal shook his head.
mdp.39015063551579	He said eight o'clock- why the hell do n't he come? ” His tone was of mild protest, rising to a plaintive whine.
mdp.39015063551579	He said eight o'clock- why the hell do n't he come?"
mdp.39015063551579	He talked a little about his life in America, and then left. ”"Amicably?"
mdp.39015063551579	Here's an idea; is there any sort of an artist living in Mox- ton?"
mdp.39015063551579	His brain seems addled. ” “ Think we'll get him to the post all right? ” “ We'll have to.
mdp.39015063551579	I expect there's a carrier who can bring it up?"
mdp.39015063551579	I expect you'd like a bit of rest. ”"Do you know the chap, Mason?"
mdp.39015063551579	I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions- maybe you were in a regular job?"
mdp.39015063551579	I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions- maybe you were in a regular job?"
mdp.39015063551579	I mean as to the physical possibility? ” “ Certainly. ”"You can hardly have been a very ardent lover.
mdp.39015063551579	I never seed this bloke, do'know him from Adam. ”"That so?"
mdp.39015063551579	If it's not an impertinence, sir, would you mind telling me if he did come to you last night? ” Mr. Willoughby nodded.
mdp.39015063551579	If the papers are destroyed or ca n't be read, it'll be hard to pin it on Brittain, for where is the motive?
mdp.39015063551579	Imaginative?
mdp.39015063551579	Inspector Vincett, are you yourself satisfied that the charge was ill founded?"
mdp.39015063551579	Is it true that Sir George Archer, the Chief Constable of the County, yesterday ten- dered his resignation?"
mdp.39015063551579	It was a misfortune, but why in heaven's name should it be a motive for murder?
mdp.39015063551579	Know what it is? ” “ Dead cat, I say, ” replied the parish clerk, and added reluctantly, “ Look's as if Art's right.
mdp.39015063551579	Mason has n't reported any- thing missing, has he?"
mdp.39015063551579	Motley?"
mdp.39015063551579	Mrs. Motley sniffed a little herself, and then hazarded:"Drains?"
mdp.39015063551579	No water in the lungs at all. ”"Bashed?"
mdp.39015063551579	Nothing was found. ” “ Did you search the ground in the neighborhood of the well?"
mdp.39015063551579	Now that smells of humbug to me, and if he's a humbug over a thing like that, where are you going to stop?"
mdp.39015063551579	Of course I did, nigh on three week back. ” he d"And you do n't know who it belongs to? ”"Course I do n't.

mdp.39015063551579	Sir George raised his head, supporting him with an arm behind his back,"What is it- heart?"

mdp.39015063551579	Teal?
mdp.39015063551579	Then I suggested he could answer one question at least, what name did he go by outside Nor- folk?
mdp.39015063551579	There was only one letter, a big ’ un. ”"Well, what was the name and address? ” asked Teal.
mdp.39015063551579	This clock here is fast, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063551579	To his butler, who entered a moment later, he said: “ Weeks, what time did you receive that telegram?"
mdp.39015063551579	Turning to the Saturday, you just now stated very positively that Teal did not take a drink at the bar that evening?"
mdp.39015063551579	Unless Teal had wandered into a field?
mdp.39015063551579	Vincett asked,"What did you do with him?"
mdp.39015063551579	Was Teal's real busi- ness at Moxton with Sir Francis?
mdp.39015063551579	Was it believable?
mdp.39015063551579	Was not your father Dr. Gordon Brittain, of Harley Street?"
mdp.39015063551579	We've been a bit close with the press so far- I think we might give them this, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063551579	Well did this fellow in the shop remember when he got it?"
mdp.39015063551579	Well, where's the nearest we can get some?
mdp.39015063551579	What do you know of him here?"
mdp.39015063551579	What do you make of that?"
mdp.39015063551579	What do you make of the case as it stands at present? ” Scotton considered.
mdp.39015063551579	What is Willoughby's first name?"
mdp.39015063551579	What you say to six?"
mdp.39015063551579	What's the idea? ”"She might do us a sketch of Willoughby.
mdp.39015063551579	When Mabel Teal's papers, are found on my body, people will ask why, if Brittain murdered me, did n't he remove them and destroy them?
mdp.39015063551579	When did you decide to... do the thing? ”"I do n't know.
mdp.39015063551579	When was it?"
mdp.39015063551579	Where did you find this ring?"
mdp.39015063551579	Where then was the urgent need to de- stroy evidence against him?
mdp.39015063551579	Why had Mr. Willoughby been so close?
mdp.39015063551579	Why?
mdp.39015063551579	Will you come now?"
mdp.39015063551579	Will you give me his address?"
mdp.39015063551579	Will you give me his address?"

mdp.39015063551579	Will you look after this till this evening?"

mdp.39015063551579	Would you say that is consistent with the earlier letter?"
mdp.39015063551579	Yes, I remember, bought it nigh on a fortnight ago. ”"D'you mind telling me who sold it to you? ” “ An old party.

mdp.39015063551579	“ But surely, ” Scotton protested to the Postmaster, “ you get letters readdressed to him here passing through your hands sometimes?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ But what's that to you?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ But you know the man, Scotton; what do you say?"

mdp.39015063551579	“ Do you mean the person who is staying at the Inn?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Good report from the medico?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ He may have been after bigger game. ”"Well why did n't he get it?
mdp.39015063551579	“ How much? ” “ One and six."
mdp.39015063551579	“ Hullo, Norwich Jail?
mdp.39015063551579	“ I could get you some supper now, eggs and bacon and bread and cheese, and a cup of tea, if you'd be wanting it. ”"How much?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ I sup- pose we follow?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ I suppose there's no question about it being our Wil- loughby?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Is Mr. Teal here, if you'll pardon the intrusion? ” Mr. Willoughby, as though weighing his words, allowed a few seconds to pass before replying.
mdp.39015063551579	“ Is that the course you recommend?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ It's not- it wo n't be a confession?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Know anything about this chap Teal?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Known locally as Mr. John Willoughby? ”"That is so."
mdp.39015063551579	“ Like to earn a pound?
mdp.39015063551579	“ May I write here?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ May I write here?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Mind if I make a suggestion?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ My deal, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ My deal, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Nothing like a confession? ” he asked, after a pause.
mdp.39015063551579	“ Now, Sir Francis, would you be so kind as to give me your own account of your rela- tions with the deceased man, Teal?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Now, would you believe it?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Oo is it ai n't exactly a fa- vorite? ” he added, when he had adjusted his legs.
mdp.39015063551579	“ So we have been told. ”"Are you suggesting that Inspector Vincett is a perjurer?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ That is so. ”"Why did you do this?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ That's right. ” “ The house was much more crowded than was usual, even on Saturday?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ That?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ The Soldier Inn, old man. ” “ I mean what village?
mdp.39015063551579	“ Then maybe you've never seen this ring either?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Well — will you?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Well — will you?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What date?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What date?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What have you got?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What is this place?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What was his general reaction when you caught up with him?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What was the second object you found?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What you doin''ere? ” The Sergeant replied, slightly nettled.
mdp.39015063551579	“ What's that?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ What's the time, Phil?
mdp.39015063551579	“ When's the next London train? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063551579	“ Who is he?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Why did you curtail your holiday, Sir Francis?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Why?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Will he be in later this evening?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Ye're an Englishman, are n't ye?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Yes, I remember — Victoria, South- Eastern Section. ”"Know where he went from there?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Yes. ” “ Just back for a look at the old country?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ Yes. ” “ What was the date of his death?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ You always drive Wil- loughby to Thorpe station when he leaves here, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ You mean he wo n't run?"
mdp.39015063551579	“ You'll have some luggage, I suppose, old man?"
mdp.39015063551579	“'Ere, what about your stop- per?"

mdp.39015020215235	Are you going to sell the house, Isobel?
mdp.39015020215235	Are you telling me? mdp.39015020215235 Are you willing to believe me?"
mdp.39015020215235	Bless my soul, is she awake? mdp.39015020215235 But could she hear it?
mdp.39015020215235	But what do you think you can do about it?
mdp.39015020215235	But you did n't see anything the first time — I mean, at the crack of dawn? mdp.39015020215235 But you think you were given poison in your own house?"
mdp.39015020215235	By a starfish hand, yellow- looking?
mdp.39015020215235	Can we hear that gong when it rings?

mdp.39015020215235	Do n't you like Lotto?
mdp.39015020215235	Do we have to tell those old girls what we're doing?
mdp.39015020215235	Do you remem- ber Flinch?
mdp.39015020215235	Do you think Emma did it?"

mdp.39015020215235	Do you think that?"
mdp.39015020215235	Do you think the bank will bust if I take him home with me?
mdp.39015020215235	Do you think you can promise?

mdp.39015020215235	Does anybody know what happened to her lamp?"
mdp.39015020215235	Does it keep you happy?"
mdp.39015020215235	Does it mean anything that Emma is out?
mdp.39015020215235	Does n't any- thing come next?"
mdp.39015020215235	Does, your death free someone else?"
mdp.39015020215235	Down back lanes and muddy roads, parking for hours in disreputable places?
mdp.39015020215235	Drink?
mdp.39015020215235	Emma's quoting someone, Emma's teasing — can't you hear?
mdp.39015020215235	Emma?
mdp.39015020215235	Emma?
mdp.39015020215235	Empty?
mdp.39015020215235	Exactly what did Breitman say?"
mdp.39015020215235	Except for Hattie and me and — Why does my body ache?
mdp.39015020215235	Five miles there and five miles back?"
mdp.39015020215235	Ford?"
mdp.39015020215235	Ford?"
mdp.39015020215235	Ford?"
mdp.39015020215235	Fresh- strawberry filling, is n't it, Maude?
mdp.39015020215235	George dear, big Georgie, did n't I show you?"
mdp.39015020215235	George, how rich is Bruce Cory?"
mdp.39015020215235	George, remem- ber the wind; you made a joke of it, but you know it is n't a joke, do n't you?
mdp.39015020215235	George, what's out there, what are you looking at?"
mdp.39015020215235	George?
mdp.39015020215235	George?
mdp.39015020215235	George?"
mdp.39015020215235	Gone?"
mdp.39015020215235	Got a cigarette?"
mdp.39015020215235	Got a cold?"
mdp.39015020215235	Had he said where he was going?
mdp.39015020215235	Had n't he said it was a fine night for a drive?
mdp.39015020215235	Had she forgotten one of her big- little days?
mdp.39015020215235	Hattie?
mdp.39015020215235	Hattie?
mdp.39015020215235	Have n't I seen you somewhere before?"
mdp.39015020215235	Have n't we all been stupid?
mdp.39015020215235	Have you a chill?"
mdp.39015020215235	Have you and Mrs. Tench had a quar- rel?"
mdp.39015020215235	Have you noticed how he follows the girl around?"
mdp.39015020215235	He died in your car, did n't he?
mdp.39015020215235	He knows there was no wind, not enough for that, does n't he?
mdp.39015020215235	He knows who you are?"
mdp.39015020215235	He said Mr. Ford was —""Dead?"
mdp.39015020215235	He said,"How did you know that?"
mdp.39015020215235	He said:"Hurt herself?
mdp.39015020215235	He's well, is n't he?"
mdp.39015020215235	He- he found it?"
mdp.39015020215235	High spirits?"
mdp.39015020215235	Home or the club or what?"
mdp.39015020215235	How about me going on down there alone?"
mdp.39015020215235	How are we coming on?"
mdp.39015020215235	How are you anyway, Nora?
mdp.39015020215235	How are you, honey?"
mdp.39015020215235	How could a light move back and forth, be seen, turn itself on and off, without a hand?
mdp.39015020215235	How could a light shine in an empty room, a walled- up room without a door?
mdp.39015020215235	How did that happen?"
mdp.39015020215235	How did you find this room?"
mdp.39015020215235	How do I know Anna went to the cottage?"
mdp.39015020215235	How do I know Tench and Mrs. Tench are in the kitchen, where they ought to be?
mdp.39015020215235	How do I know who's in the kitchen?
mdp.39015020215235	How do you cure that?"
mdp.39015020215235	How long before Emma comes home?
mdp.39015020215235	How long has it been since we gave a dinner, Tench?"
mdp.39015020215235	How long have you been here?"
mdp.39015020215235	How long will I have to wait now?
mdp.39015020215235	How long will it be before she wakes?
mdp.39015020215235	How soon can I tell Lucy?"
mdp.39015020215235	How terrified?
mdp.39015020215235	How was your drive?
mdp.39015020215235	How will I know it's what I want, even when I see it?
mdp.39015020215235	How will I know which one?
mdp.39015020215235	How will it happen?
mdp.39015020215235	How's Miss Sills?"
mdp.39015020215235	How?
mdp.39015020215235	Hush, did I hear some- thing?"
mdp.39015020215235	I beg your pardon, you were saying?"
mdp.39015020215235	I called,"Who's listening to me?
mdp.39015020215235	I do it prettier'Are you a beast of field and tree, or just a stronger child than me?'"
mdp.39015020215235	I heard Cousin Jane say,"Will she sell the house?"
mdp.39015020215235	I knew Mr. Ford, see?
mdp.39015020215235	I made myself ask,"With Tray?"
mdp.39015020215235	I mean the two who lived there?"
mdp.39015020215235	I said,"Mrs. Tench, did you ever take care of me before?"
mdp.39015020215235	I thought: Five thousand dollars for a new fur coat?
mdp.39015020215235	I was only —""Blowing your top?"
mdp.39015020215235	I was uneasy, disturbed —"Who said that?
mdp.39015020215235	I would say,"Father, are you sick?"
mdp.39015020215235	I'm not supposed to have good sense, according to some people, but I can see things, ca n't I?
mdp.39015020215235	I'm sure she'll use the circular room, so would n't you like that, too?"
mdp.39015020215235	I've hit it, have n't I?"
mdp.39015020215235	If she could help me to re- member anything, anything — TWhat are you mooning about?"
mdp.39015020215235	If there are letters in his desk, and if I read them, what will I find?
mdp.39015020215235	If you could talk, what would you say first?
mdp.39015020215235	If you could walk, which way would you go?
mdp.39015020215235	Is Ralph with you, or Robbie?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is he sick?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is he still, you know, well?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is it because I am in mourning?
mdp.39015020215235	Is it something in the room that frightens you, something I do n't know about?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is it sufficient?
mdp.39015020215235	Is n't everything lovely?
mdp.39015020215235	Is n't this the cousins'day?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is n't this the place where the halls cross?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is one of them myself?
mdp.39015020215235	Is that all you can say, after staying out all night and leaving me alone with your father?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is that all you had to tell me, Issy?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is that the answer?
mdp.39015020215235	Is that what you want me to ask you?"
mdp.39015020215235	Is that what you were doing down at the stable?
mdp.39015020215235	Is that your trouble?
mdp.39015020215235	Is there anything I can do?
mdp.39015020215235	Is there anything to know?
mdp.39015020215235	Isobel, shall we give a little dinner ourselves and show old Lucy Barnaby I'm not a jailer?"
mdp.39015020215235	Isobel, you'll change your frock before we leave, wo n't you?
mdp.39015020215235	Isobel?
mdp.39015020215235	Isobel?"
mdp.39015020215235	Issy?
mdp.39015020215235	It was an accident, was n't it?
mdp.39015020215235	It's all right, is n't it, if I eat up here tonight?"
mdp.39015020215235	It's the miracle we've been waiting for, but we did n't know, we did n't think —"Will the police believe that?
mdp.39015020215235	It's the other nurse, is n't it?"
mdp.39015020215235	Joe said he saw —""What did he see?"
mdp.39015020215235	Joe said,"Baroque?
mdp.39015020215235	Joe said,"Issy, is this the box?"
mdp.39015020215235	Joe says,"Say, you know what?
mdp.39015020215235	Lamp, did you say?"
mdp.39015020215235	Late for what?"
mdp.39015020215235	Listen, you and your mother have been alone every night for weeks, so why get excited now?
mdp.39015020215235	Long?
mdp.39015020215235	Looking for Tray?"
mdp.39015020215235	Lunch?
mdp.39015020215235	Manson?
mdp.39015020215235	Manson?"
mdp.39015020215235	Manson?"
mdp.39015020215235	Manson?"
mdp.39015020215235	Marsh?"
mdp.39015020215235	Me?
mdp.39015020215235	Mention any names, any names at all?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mike said,"Got a knife or a nail file?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mike whispered to the trees,"Sister Ann, Sister Ann, do you see anybody coming?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mike, can you slip out for a few minutes?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mike, did he hurt me be- cause he hated me?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mike, will you watch for the car and walk back with me when they come?
mdp.39015020215235	Mike?"
mdp.39015020215235	Miss Byrd?"
mdp.39015020215235	Monstrous?
mdp.39015020215235	Mother said,"Why do you say that?
mdp.39015020215235	Mr. Brucie, what does Miss Sills say?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mr. Ford, how does Isobel come into this?
mdp.39015020215235	Mrs. Manson, do you know who sent that key?
mdp.39015020215235	Mrs. Perry, saying,"So you're Miss Composition for Four Hands 91"Like what?"
mdp.39015020215235	Mrs. Tench, what does'skin the rabbit'mean?"
mdp.39015020215235	My poor little girl, does a small thing like that please you so much?"
mdp.39015020215235	No disease?
mdp.39015020215235	No disease?
mdp.39015020215235	No disease?
mdp.39015020215235	No?
mdp.39015020215235	Not sure of what?"
mdp.39015020215235	Nothing wrong with that, is there?"
mdp.39015020215235	Now that I do n't want anything, what's the use?
mdp.39015020215235	Now, if I can only play with Issy's music box —""Mike,"Mother said,"is this the result of my poor, simple sherry?"
mdp.39015020215235	Oh, yes, you're going to have a sur- 54 The House"Where are you, Issy?
mdp.39015020215235	On the nose?
mdp.39015020215235	One for her?
mdp.39015020215235	One hour?
mdp.39015020215235	Only six weeks?
mdp.39015020215235	Only that?
mdp.39015020215235	Or does he know more than I do?
mdp.39015020215235	Or sapphires?
mdp.39015020215235	Out of his mind?
mdp.39015020215235	Out of his mind?
mdp.39015020215235	Plain gold?
mdp.39015020215235	Plain white sheets, wrinkled where his body had lain; soft white pillows showing the print of his head?
mdp.39015020215235	Pross?
mdp.39015020215235	Ralph?
mdp.39015020215235	Remember that?"
mdp.39015020215235	Right?
mdp.39015020215235	Say, is it all right to talk about last night?"
mdp.39015020215235	Say, you know what?
mdp.39015020215235	See the glass of milk?
mdp.39015020215235	See?
mdp.39015020215235	Shall I go now?
mdp.39015020215235	Shall we give him a drink, too?"
mdp.39015020215235	She disappeared and returned with a painted screen, which she dragged into place Composition for Four Hands 29 Manson?
mdp.39015020215235	She heard herself say,"Hands?"
mdp.39015020215235	She likes to hear voices around her, does n't she, Doctor Babcock?"
mdp.39015020215235	She said,"Are we?"
mdp.39015020215235	She said,"Does the young lady live in Larchville, or did they get her from New York?
mdp.39015020215235	She'd said,"What's all this about an arm?"
mdp.39015020215235	So I opened the window to — you understand?"
mdp.39015020215235	So what?
mdp.39015020215235	So what?
mdp.39015020215235	Someone unconnected with the past, a stranger like yourself, a — dream girl, did you say?
mdp.39015020215235	Something odd happened this morning, did n't it, and Mrs. Tench does n't want you to tell me?"
mdp.39015020215235	Soup?
mdp.39015020215235	Still, after all, you did n't know him very well, did you?"
mdp.39015020215235	Sup- pose someone had wanted to come up here, suppose some honest person with an honest reason had unlocked the hall door and looked up the stairs?
mdp.39015020215235	Tell me, what do you think of cards after dinner?
mdp.39015020215235	Ten to one — Why are you saying ten to one, even to yourself?
mdp.39015020215235	Tench?"
mdp.39015020215235	Tench?"
mdp.39015020215235	That afternoon when Robbie came home early, did you see anyone else?
mdp.39015020215235	That cra2y Miss Harper — I do n't see how Ralph stands her See Robbie anywhere around?"
mdp.39015020215235	The Honse 23"Mrs. Tench —"I did n't know how to say what I wanted to say —"Mrs. Tench, are you taking care of me now?"
mdp.39015020215235	The House 29"Which shack?"
mdp.39015020215235	The left profile?
mdp.39015020215235	The one in here is disconnected — you know that, do n't you?
mdp.39015020215235	The other two were fastened to shoes, pulled over a pair of old shoes, filled out as if Composition for Four Hands 125"Do you know what she means?
mdp.39015020215235	The pills?
mdp.39015020215235	Then he said,"Chopped meat?
mdp.39015020215235	Then she said:"Mr. Brucie, what happened upstairs?
mdp.39015020215235	Then:"My dear child, was n't that your father's?"
mdp.39015020215235	Then:"What's wrong with your hands?
mdp.39015020215235	There was something in his voice, was n't there, was n't there?
mdp.39015020215235	They want to play the old music box before dinner?
mdp.39015020215235	They'll reprint the pictures, theyll- Why do n't I go to my room first and see if he's taken anything?
mdp.39015020215235	They're terrible, are n't they?
mdp.39015020215235	This house?
mdp.39015020215235	This is guinea, is n't it?
mdp.39015020215235	Those little spool heels, had n't they always warned her?
mdp.39015020215235	Those lovely eyes, have you noticed how they — follow?
mdp.39015020215235	To me?
mdp.39015020215235	Tomorrow?
mdp.39015020215235	Two?
mdp.39015020215235	Two?
mdp.39015020215235	Unless the light —"Do you want to hear about my wedding?"
mdp.39015020215235	Unsound mind?
mdp.39015020215235	Want to start with dessert and work back, just for the — for the fun of it?"
mdp.39015020215235	Want to tell us what you thought was wrong?"
mdp.39015020215235	Want us to walk down with you?
mdp.39015020215235	Wanted what in a hurry?
mdp.39015020215235	Was it Hattie screaming like that?"
mdp.39015020215235	Was it a silly anniversary or something?
mdp.39015020215235	Was it before or after Robbie came home?"
mdp.39015020215235	Was it fun?
mdp.39015020215235	Was my dress a new one?
mdp.39015020215235	Was n't it, Mr. Cory — or am I the cra2y one?"
mdp.39015020215235	Was n't that — dangerous for you?
mdp.39015020215235	Was n't there anyone else you could use?"
mdp.39015020215235	We do n't know each other very well, do we?"
mdp.39015020215235	We do n't know what — Emma, can you do anything with Hattie?
mdp.39015020215235	We're being very gay, are n't we, Tench?
mdp.39015020215235	We're getting this thing licked, are n't we?
mdp.39015020215235	Well, white was not my color, but perhaps a little 70 The Honse rouge — White was half- mourning; some people called it whole; the Chinese?
mdp.39015020215235	Were Miss Sills and I being watched?
mdp.39015020215235	Were the sheets still on Robbie's bed?
mdp.39015020215235	Were they — like a starfish?"
mdp.39015020215235	Were you afraid of poison?"
mdp.39015020215235	Were you wanting some of my wife's flowers, Miss Isobel?
mdp.39015020215235	What am I breath- ing heavily about?
mdp.39015020215235	What am I doing this for?
mdp.39015020215235	What am I doing this for?
mdp.39015020215235	What am I going to do now?
mdp.39015020215235	What am I saying?
mdp.39015020215235	What am I stalling about?
mdp.39015020215235	What are you listening to?"
mdp.39015020215235	What are you looking at?
mdp.39015020215235	What brings you out in all weathers?"
mdp.39015020215235	What could she do with a pencil?"
mdp.39015020215235	What did she say to you about me after she sent me out of the room?"
mdp.39015020215235	What did the priest say?"

mdp.39015020215235	Why?
mdp.39015020215235	Why?
mdp.39015020215235	Why?
mdp.39015020215235	Why?"
mdp.39015020215235	Why?"
mdp.39015020215235	Why?"
mdp.39015020215235	Will she see that?
mdp.39015020215235	Will you stay for at least a year?"
mdp.39015020215235	With a dog for company?
mdp.39015020215235	Would a big red bow look too silly on a windshield?
mdp.39015020215235	Would there ever come a time when anyone knew what she wanted?
mdp.39015020215235	Would you like my scarf, dear?
mdp.39015020215235	You admit there's got to be a wall or a partition of some kind?"
mdp.39015020215235	You came in the front door?"
mdp.39015020215235	You did n't happen to hear me having hysterics?"
mdp.39015020215235	You did n't hear any- thing, did you?"
mdp.39015020215235	You did n't, George, did you?"
mdp.39015020215235	You do n't want anybody else, do you, Mrs. Manson?
mdp.39015020215235	You got 98* The House oblivion, and how did you use it?
mdp.39015020215235	You hear that?
mdp.39015020215235	You heard Hattie yourself, did n't you?"
mdp.39015020215235	You know what I think?
mdp.39015020215235	You know what I think?"
mdp.39015020215235	You mean they needed Mr. Robbie and could n't locate him?
mdp.39015020215235	You remem- ber about the bowl and the chain and the fresh meat?"
mdp.39015020215235	You remember that morning?"
mdp.39015020215235	You remember the night I locked that dog in the kitchen because the passage was cold?
mdp.39015020215235	You saw it, too, did n't you?
mdp.39015020215235	You think they're funny now, do n't you?
mdp.39015020215235	You trust me, do n't you?
mdp.39015020215235	You understand?"
mdp.39015020215235	You were n't changing the subject, were you?
mdp.39015020215235	You wo n't mind the dark, will you, if I hold your hand?
mdp.39015020215235	You'd have to use can- dles, see?
mdp.39015020215235	You've always trusted me, have n't you?"
mdp.39015020215235	You've been having a high old time, have n't you?"
mdp.39015020215235	You?"
mdp.39015020215235	said,"Do you want to go away again, Isobel?"
mdp.39015063916665	And did you drop any of them in the doctor's food or drink?
mdp.39015063916665	And did you expect he would be frightened?
mdp.39015063916665	And no one left the table?
mdp.39015063916665	Any idea what this means?
mdp.39015063916665	Are those yours?
mdp.39015063916665	Besides what?
mdp.39015063916665	Can any of you tell me why it was that one of your number left the house, despite my orders for all to stay?
mdp.39015063916665	Chief,he began in an apologetic voice,"do n't you think you pulled a bad one in insisting on that autopsy?
mdp.39015063916665	Did anyone have much to drink during the din- ner?
mdp.39015063916665	Did anyone quarrel with him that night?
mdp.39015063916665	Did he make any threats against the doctor?
mdp.39015063916665	Do we have to be? mdp.39015063916665 Do you know the exact time the doctor died?"
mdp.39015063916665	Do you remember, Rogan, the afternoon we told her the doctor had been poisoned? mdp.39015063916665 Do you think Davidson would do a trick like that?"
mdp.39015063916665	Hardy? mdp.39015063916665 Harley —"burst out the shrill voice —"Harley, what did you bring me last night?
mdp.39015063916665	Harley, what fate is pursuing the Flet- chers? mdp.39015063916665 Have you any objection to my writing a note to Mr. Fletcher and leaving it on his desk?"
mdp.39015063916665	His what?
mdp.39015063916665	How could it?
mdp.39015063916665	How did it happen that Dr. Langdon was sitting at the end of the table, Mrs. Fletcher? mdp.39015063916665 How many persons did you say were at this din- ner of Fletcher's?"
mdp.39015063916665	How?
mdp.39015063916665	How?
mdp.39015063916665	I presume you have a good picture of Ann Flet- cher?
mdp.39015063916665	Is that what he told you?
mdp.39015063916665	Know anything new?
mdp.39015063916665	Mixed up with any women, Fletcher?
mdp.39015063916665	Mrs. Fletcher,suggested Rogan,"everybody at your dinner was on good terms with the doctor?"
mdp.39015063916665	Quibus auxiliis: With what?
mdp.39015063916665	Quibus auxiliis?
mdp.39015063916665	Rogan, how much has been published in the papers about that saw I noted in Fletcher's boat- house?
mdp.39015063916665	Scotch, I suppose, Harley? mdp.39015063916665 Sit in that chair for a moment, will you?"
mdp.39015063916665	So you have n't found anything of value?
mdp.39015063916665	They are? mdp.39015063916665 They are?"
mdp.39015063916665	Think he committed suicide?
mdp.39015063916665	Tommy Davidson asked the doctor, when they were in the library,'what in hell he was doing at the dinner?' mdp.39015063916665 Two?"
mdp.39015063916665	Unless what?
mdp.39015063916665	Well, what does it all mean?
mdp.39015063916665	Well?
mdp.39015063916665	Well?
mdp.39015063916665	Were you up here last night?
mdp.39015063916665	What did you do with those people who were at dinner?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you know about Fletcher?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you mean by'count them'?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you think I got this noon?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you think has happened, Chief?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you think this person was trying to do?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you want me to do?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you want to know?
mdp.39015063916665	What have you been doing?
mdp.39015063916665	What he did?
mdp.39015063916665	What in hell do you mean, Rogan, by telling my guests they ca n't leave the house till you say so? mdp.39015063916665 What in hell does all this mean?"
mdp.39015063916665	What in hell have you been doing, Fletcher?
mdp.39015063916665	What of?
mdp.39015063916665	What poison?
mdp.39015063916665	What was the matter, Bell?
mdp.39015063916665	What was the trouble?
mdp.39015063916665	What's that?
mdp.39015063916665	What's up, Chief?
mdp.39015063916665	What?
mdp.39015063916665	Where was he last night?
mdp.39015063916665	Which one of your guests disregarded my order not to leave the house?
mdp.39015063916665	Who is it?
mdp.39015063916665	Who was it? mdp.39015063916665 Who?"
mdp.39015063916665	Why?
mdp.39015063916665	Why?
mdp.39015063916665	Why?
mdp.39015063916665	Will you kindly tell me,came the sarcastic ques- tion,"what business it was of yours who the Flet- chers invited to their dinner?"
mdp.39015063916665	With what?
mdp.39015063916665	Yes, but what reason did he give for bringing in the letters?
mdp.39015063916665	You do not think anyone at that table poisoned Langdon?
mdp.39015063916665	You mean murder?
mdp.39015063916665	You told them they must all remain here until I said they could leave?
mdp.39015063916665	A twinkle flashed into the small eyes:"Want something, Professor?"
mdp.39015063916665	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063916665	And above all, why?
mdp.39015063916665	And he had mentioned a sudden little cry; what had he meant by that?
mdp.39015063916665	And never — never — do I want to hear a doctor say it again I""Say what?"
mdp.39015063916665	And what did I find?
mdp.39015063916665	And who do you think was sending them to him all the time?
mdp.39015063916665	And why did that person go?"
mdp.39015063916665	And —""Got them with you?"
mdp.39015063916665	As he paused, Manners asked a question:"Do you think the poison could have been put into Lang- don's food, Hoff, or in anything he had to drink?"
mdp.39015063916665	As he thought over the point, there came to his mind an- other mystery: why had a woman of her type mar- ried a man like Fletcher?
mdp.39015063916665	As she simply nodded, he continued:"Would you let me have it for a few days?"
mdp.39015063916665	As they went clasping round the soft body two thoughts were in his mind: What does this woman know?
mdp.39015063916665	At this point the chief paused to ask suspiciously:"What do you want me to go out to his place for?"
mdp.39015063916665	Before he could even try to theo- rize, however, the woman spoke again: “ Will you want a good many sandwiches, sir?"
mdp.39015063916665	Besides, what had he been doing in Fletcher's yard at midnight, hiding by the veranda with a gun in his hand?
mdp.39015063916665	But I ca n't understand what the word'mistake'means —?"
mdp.39015063916665	But could they say the same thing of Ann Fletcher's?
mdp.39015063916665	But do you know what I think we are going to find before we get through with it?
mdp.39015063916665	But for what rea- son?
mdp.39015063916665	But how about the doctor?
mdp.39015063916665	But how did it happen that Langdon was sitting at the head of your table?
mdp.39015063916665	But how?
mdp.39015063916665	But how?
mdp.39015063916665	But what 196 POISON UNKNOWN Rogan must decide is a very tricky question: did Davidson intend to kill Langdon?
mdp.39015063916665	But what about Fletcher?
mdp.39015063916665	But what was suspicious in the dining- room?"
mdp.39015063916665	But what's funny about having a window open on a warm night?
mdp.39015063916665	But why are you so insistent those letters have something to do with the affair?"
mdp.39015063916665	But why should she have been afraid?
mdp.39015063916665	But why the devil do n't you make sure your machine is in good order? ” Silence for a moment.
mdp.39015063916665	But why was it they asked for his wife when it was discovered he was out?
mdp.39015063916665	But why?
mdp.39015063916665	But —""What's your name?"
mdp.39015063916665	Came the chief's voice, rough, demanding:"You heard what I said?
mdp.39015063916665	Can Women Forget?
mdp.39015063916665	Can Women Forget?
mdp.39015063916665	Can you have it ready this evening?"
mdp.39015063916665	Can you make me a mask from this picture?
mdp.39015063916665	Could it be that the pills had contained the fatal poison?
mdp.39015063916665	Could it be that the writer of the note was hinting that Langdon's death had been a mistake?
mdp.39015063916665	Could it be the letters her husband had received?
mdp.39015063916665	Could the crushed pieces of glass in the envelope hold the explanation of how it had been given?
mdp.39015063916665	Could they say the death of Ann Fletcher was the result of a mistake?
mdp.39015063916665	Could you not make me that at once?
mdp.39015063916665	Davidson: what was he going to do with him?
mdp.39015063916665	Did he sit there all evening?"
mdp.39015063916665	Did you ever hear the old saying they used to pass around — about what happened when a chief had his first prisoner brought into his new office?"
mdp.39015063916665	Did you sign your letters?"
mdp.39015063916665	Do you mind if some time late this evening, or early tomorrow morning, we search your boat- house?
mdp.39015063916665	Do you?"
mdp.39015063916665	Exactly what's on your mind?
mdp.39015063916665	Fear?
mdp.39015063916665	Fletcher?"
mdp.39015063916665	For a moment he stared, then throwing back his head growled out a question:"Overlooked what?"
mdp.39015063916665	For a second he studied it, then turned:"Did you hear anything while you were out here last night, Rice?"
mdp.39015063916665	For the first time in many minutes, Kent spoke:"How could anyone make that mistake?"
mdp.39015063916665	Get that?
mdp.39015063916665	Got any dope on him?"
mdp.39015063916665	Had Fletcher 60 POISON UNKNOWN noticed any appearance of illness in the doctor?
mdp.39015063916665	Had that step that someone had sawn through been a trap for the master of the house: a trap into which his wife had fallen?
mdp.39015063916665	He kill Langdon?"
mdp.39015063916665	He lighted a cigarette and asked a question in the same breath:"Found anything new?"
mdp.39015063916665	He merely commented:"Found nothing?"
mdp.39015063916665	He started to voice this opinion, only to have Manners'words cut in ahead of him: POISON UNKNOWN"What sort of letter was sent to Fletcher?"
mdp.39015063916665	He was startled into speech:"She would?"
mdp.39015063916665	Here Manners was able to obtain an answer to his question: how many machines were there in the city of the make of his blue roadster?
mdp.39015063916665	His harsh whisper broke the stillness:"Murder, Bell?"
mdp.39015063916665	How about it?"
mdp.39015063916665	How did Zuko know Langdon had been murdered?
mdp.39015063916665	How did you ever discover what was used?"
mdp.39015063916665	How then could the poison have been shot into the room?
mdp.39015063916665	How, then, can you be so certain where it entered his body?"
mdp.39015063916665	I was back again to my real question: why had Fletcher lied?
mdp.39015063916665	If he had lied, why had he done so?
mdp.39015063916665	If he lied, why did he?
mdp.39015063916665	If the leading authorities upon poison did not know of the drug, where had the criminal procured it?
mdp.39015063916665	If you do n't, then why might he not have swallowed it?
mdp.39015063916665	Into a pocket he reached for a cigarette, lighted the yard? ”"İ-1-just wanted to see Mr. Fletcher,"came the stammering reply.
mdp.39015063916665	It appears to be a natural death, only —"Like a dog pointing a partridge, Rogan leaped at the last word:"Only what?"
mdp.39015063916665	It occasioned a question from Manners:"You think it absurd to have an autopsy?"
mdp.39015063916665	It was Rogan who put his thought into words:"How was it given to him?"
mdp.39015063916665	It was delivered in a voice that was both impatient and irritable:"Did you check up on Langdon?"
mdp.39015063916665	Know what I am getting at?"
mdp.39015063916665	Manners changed the conversa- tion:"Have you booked anyone in your new station?"
mdp.39015063916665	Motive?
mdp.39015063916665	No motive?
mdp.39015063916665	Of what is she afraid?
mdp.39015063916665	Out of long experience he knew there were two things he must know first of all: why were the crimes committed?
mdp.39015063916665	Rather profanely he queried further — did Manners think he had nothing to do but ride round the city?
mdp.39015063916665	Remember that letter I showed you?"
mdp.39015063916665	Remember that other case — that poisoning case where they placed curare upon a needle and put it on the horn button of a car?
mdp.39015063916665	Revenge?
mdp.39015063916665	Rogan broke the silence:"What proposition?"
mdp.39015063916665	Rogan changed the subject: POISON UNKNOWN 83"When did you get this letter?"
mdp.39015063916665	See what I mean?
mdp.39015063916665	So he asked a question:"Know his name?"
mdp.39015063916665	So he simply growled out,"What?"
mdp.39015063916665	So long did it last that Manners was impelled to speak:"Hoff, what do you think it means?"
mdp.39015063916665	Something —"So icy was the tone that Manners'mind leaped to but one thought — a thought expressed in his ex- clamation:"Murder?"
mdp.39015063916665	That's how I know — not because of any fact, but just — what do you call it — intuition?
mdp.39015063916665	The rough voice growled forth a question:"Everything in the place in running order?"
mdp.39015063916665	The voice sounded a little familiar, but I did not quite recognize it. ”"Do you think Mrs. Fletcher recognized the voice?"
mdp.39015063916665	Then I began to puzzle over a second thing: had anyone sent him anonymous letters?
mdp.39015063916665	Then a thought struck him:"Why did Fletcher bother to bring the letter into your office?
mdp.39015063916665	Then, POISON UNKNOWN 47 as he moved across the floor, there came his second question:"What is it all about, Bell?
mdp.39015063916665	Then, leaning against the table, she turned to the police chief:"Well?"
mdp.39015063916665	There are no new we been doing?
mdp.39015063916665	There came his astonished growl:"What in the devil are you trying to tell me?
mdp.39015063916665	There came the voice of Stone- low, cold, ear- nest: “ And where are those pills now? ”.
mdp.39015063916665	There was a question in his mind: how much should he tell her at this time?
mdp.39015063916665	There was a question that only Hoff could answer, and he had to ask it:"Have you discovered the poison that killed Langdon?"
mdp.39015063916665	Was it a man or a woman? ”"Oh, it was a man, sir.
mdp.39015063916665	Was there any suspicion that Langdon's death had not been due to natural causes?
mdp.39015063916665	Was there even the slightest chance that Rogan might in the end discover that his suspicions had some foundation?
mdp.39015063916665	What did he die of?"
mdp.39015063916665	What did the outside world know about police work?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you really think happened to Langdon?"
mdp.39015063916665	What do you think it means, Kent?"
mdp.39015063916665	What do you think of that?
mdp.39015063916665	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063916665	What good had these things done him?
mdp.39015063916665	What had he stumbled upon?
mdp.39015063916665	What had she been doing on those stairs after midnight?
mdp.39015063916665	What knowledge did he possess that the man did not wish known?
mdp.39015063916665	What was he afraid of?
mdp.39015063916665	What was he going to tell the public?
mdp.39015063916665	What was it the mayor had said?
mdp.39015063916665	What's it all about?
mdp.39015063916665	What's your name?"
mdp.39015063916665	When he had finished he was asked one question:"What was the first case you booked in the new building?"
mdp.39015063916665	Where do you get that sort of stuff?
mdp.39015063916665	Who sneaked away?
mdp.39015063916665	Whom had she been going to see?
mdp.39015063916665	Why all this talk about those two poisons if you know they were not used?"
mdp.39015063916665	Why did n't you let me know before?"
mdp.39015063916665	Why did that woman leave the house and cross that dark lawn at midnight?
mdp.39015063916665	Why do n't you stick to your psychology?"
mdp.39015063916665	Why do you say that?"
mdp.39015063916665	Why had he done that?
mdp.39015063916665	Why had he ordered an autopsy?
mdp.39015063916665	Why had she left the house?
mdp.39015063916665	Why should anyone have wished to kill him?
mdp.39015063916665	Why should he suddenly have wished protection the night of the dinner?
mdp.39015063916665	Why should the murderer be afraid of him?
mdp.39015063916665	Why was he so certain of this?
mdp.39015063916665	Why was she hur- rying to the shore?
mdp.39015063916665	Why?
mdp.39015063916665	With a shake of his head he protested:"How can you be certain of what you are say- ing?
mdp.39015063916665	Wonder what he has up his sleeve?
mdp.39015063916665	Would Hoff still be in his laboratory?
mdp.39015063916665	You heard about Dr. Langdon's death?"
mdp.39015063916665	and both mistakes?
mdp.39015063916665	and were they connected?
mdp.39015063916665	“ And why did you leave the house when everyone had been asked to remain?"
hvd.hwkl1u	But what was he to do? hvd.hwkl1u I am surely not such a coward? ” she said to her- self in a fit of rage.
hvd.hwkl1u	Is it possible that his fall was an intentional fall? hvd.hwkl1u O God! ” thought the countess, “ why are they not a few years older?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Was I right? ” he exclaimed. hvd.hwkl1u Well, madam, ” he said to Henrietta on one of the few occasions when he could speak to her,—“well, what did I tell you?
hvd.hwkl1u	What is that? ” he asked in a tone, which, under its affected gentleness, betrayed no small dissatisfac- tion. hvd.hwkl1u Would it be possible, ” asked Daniel, “ to have it drawn up at once? ” “ Why not?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would it be possible, ” asked Daniel, “ to have it drawn up at once? ” “ Why not? hvd.hwkl1u '” Henrietta shuddered, and stammered out, “ Is it possible? ” Then the old man, looking at her half surprised, said,- “ What! hvd.hwkl1u '” “ Did he say so? ” “ Word for word. hvd.hwkl1u '” “ Did he say that? ” “ The very words, commandant, but better, a great deal better.
hvd.hwkl1u	144 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD What could he tell her?
hvd.hwkl1u	23 Grange Street, three years ago?
hvd.hwkl1u	25?
hvd.hwkl1u	294 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD He, shrugging his shoulders, and assuming an air of commiseration, went on,- “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	38 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD What had become of him?
hvd.hwkl1u	A fortune?
hvd.hwkl1u	Ah, why had she not resisted, at least for the pur- pose of gaining time?
hvd.hwkl1u	All this, she thought, must have cost, at least, eight or nine thousand francs; but for how much would it sell?
hvd.hwkl1u	All?
hvd.hwkl1u	All? ” “ Why, yes, lieutenant!
hvd.hwkl1u	Am I delirious?
hvd.hwkl1u	And I shall wish it the day when he returns. ” Was she speaking seriously?
hvd.hwkl1u	And M. Maxime de Brévan?
hvd.hwkl1u	And after a pause he added, — “ That is not all, doctor: I want to ask you for the letters which I could not read yesterday. ” “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	And as she kept silent, surprised by Daniel's firm- ness, he said sneeringly, – “ Then you confess that it would be madness to believe you?
hvd.hwkl1u	And do you know for what crime he had been condemned?"
hvd.hwkl1u	And have you slept well? ” “ Very well, madam, thank you! ” “ Now, that's right.
hvd.hwkl1u	And he replied,'Oh, not as much so as you think;'but that is all. ” “ Where does he live? ” “ In Paris, Rue Louis, 39."
hvd.hwkl1u	And how is your appetite?
hvd.hwkl1u	And how was their past connected with her own past?
hvd.hwkl1u	And if he should, during your absence, run away with the fifty thousand dollars? ” Daniel was a little shaken; but he remained firm.
hvd.hwkl1u	And now, my dear fellow, have the kindness to accept this cigar, and let us take a walk. ” Was that really so as Brévan said?
hvd.hwkl1u	And now, sir, I wish you good- evening; or must I go?"
hvd.hwkl1u	And really, on Saturday, when he saw his passen- ger come as usual to the café, the captain exclaimed, “ Well, what did I tell you?
hvd.hwkl1u	And that Daniel, who intrusted her to the care of Maxime de Brévan — who is he?
hvd.hwkl1u	And that evening, Sarah, Mrs. Brian, and M. Elgin asked, no doubt, full of hope,'Is it all over?'"
hvd.hwkl1u	And what was to become of it?
hvd.hwkl1u	And when his sister and Henrietta, terribly fright- ened, asked him, “ What is the matter?
hvd.hwkl1u	And when you may expect, at any mo- ment, any thing and every thing, what is to be done but to wait and watch?
hvd.hwkl1u	And where do you live? ” “ At the Hôtel de France, of course, where I am employed. ” The magistrate's face looked more and more benev- olent.
hvd.hwkl1u	And who could tell how long it would take them to go to the rescue of that boat?
hvd.hwkl1u	And who knows, now, when a ship will leave? ” “ When?
hvd.hwkl1u	And who knows, now, when a ship will leave? ” “ When?
hvd.hwkl1u	And whom do you think he mar- ried?
hvd.hwkl1u	And why might not he be that man?
hvd.hwkl1u	And why not?
hvd.hwkl1u	And why? ” “ Primo, he had charged you with a very important duty."
hvd.hwkl1u	And yet ” — “ Well, yet? ” Daniel hesitated, for fear of seeing another sardonic smile appear on Maxime's lips.
hvd.hwkl1u	And, as he still insisted, she added, “ Why do n't you go, coward?
hvd.hwkl1u	And, as the neighbors expressed some doubts, he cried furiously, – “ Have you no noses?
hvd.hwkl1u	And, perceiving that Daniel did not wear the epau- lets of his new rank, he added,- “ But how is that, lieutenant?
hvd.hwkl1u	And, shrugging her shoulders, she added in a care- less tone, “ Do you think I am afraid of your reporting me to him?
hvd.hwkl1u	And, turning to Henrietta, she asked, “ Will you take a little glass of something, my darling?"
hvd.hwkl1u	And, when objection was made, she went on,- “ Besides, what interest could she have in ruining my father?
hvd.hwkl1u	Anthony has not been an hour in Marseilles: how do you think he can know?
hvd.hwkl1u	Are these people not good enough for you; eh?
hvd.hwkl1u	Are you going to lie again?
hvd.hwkl1u	Are you not married?
hvd.hwkl1u	Are you really in love with Miss Sarah, or are you not?
hvd.hwkl1u	Are you unwell?
hvd.hwkl1u	As he perceived his wife and his daughter, his face lighted up immediately; and he exclaimed, “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	As soon as he appeared, he asked, “ Where is the young lady? ” “ Gone out. ” “ When? ” “ Immediately after you, sir."
hvd.hwkl1u	As soon as he appeared, he asked, “ Where is the young lady? ” “ Gone out. ” “ When? ” “ Immediately after you, sir."
hvd.hwkl1u	As the servant left, he said, “ I am running away. ” “ Why? ” “ Because the count must not find me here.
hvd.hwkl1u	At last, making a great effort, he asked,- “ And then?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Besides, Chevassat said he would enlist some people in my behalf; perhaps I had been specially recommended. ” “ And thus you sailed? ” “ Yes.
hvd.hwkl1u	Besides, the unknown frightened her: might it not have still greater terrors in reserve for her?
hvd.hwkl1u	Besides, they added,'how can a girl, be she ever so pure and innocent, prevent her lovers from hanging themselves at her windows?
hvd.hwkl1u	Besides, what could she do?
hvd.hwkl1u	Besides, what would be the use of it?
hvd.hwkl1u	Between Sarah and you, Miss Henri- etta, there stands a man. ” “ A man? ” “ Yes, M. Daniel Champcey."
hvd.hwkl1u	Brian, where is our bargain?
hvd.hwkl1u	But I do not understand your despair, now that circumstances have changed. ” “ Alas, sir, how have they changed? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	But could Henrietta accept it?
hvd.hwkl1u	But could that be so?
hvd.hwkl1u	But do you know what came of these explanations?
hvd.hwkl1u	But for what end?
hvd.hwkl1u	But he had taken nothing, and, even if he had, was the foolish act less real for that?
hvd.hwkl1u	But he was right in his senses now, I tell you. ” “ What did he say?
hvd.hwkl1u	But how can you attack a woman of whose antece- dents and mode of life nothing is known?"
hvd.hwkl1u	But how could she dispose of these things?
hvd.hwkl1u	But how could she economize?
hvd.hwkl1u	But how did I know how to get work?
hvd.hwkl1u	But how long would it take before it could reach her?
hvd.hwkl1u	But how was she to find one?
hvd.hwkl1u	But pray, what has happened, dear M. Ravinet? ” “ How do I know?
hvd.hwkl1u	But pray, what has happened, dear M. Ravinet? ” “ How do I know?
hvd.hwkl1u	But she replied sadly, “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	But was it sincere?
hvd.hwkl1u	But was not the idea that one of these men might have led Daniel into the trap contradicted by the circumstances of the first attempt?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what can I tell you?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what could that be?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what could they tell him now?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what did that matter to Henrietta?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what ship do you want to go to?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what was it?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what was that to her?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what was their purpose?
hvd.hwkl1u	But what would have been the good of it?
hvd.hwkl1u	But where should she go?
hvd.hwkl1u	But who is interested in my death?
hvd.hwkl1u	But who was he?
hvd.hwkl1u	But who, in her place, would not have trusted?
hvd.hwkl1u	But why might she not try, at least?
hvd.hwkl1u	But why not wait ”- He did not dare say, “ Why not wait for M. Champ- cey's death?
hvd.hwkl1u	But why should he do so?
hvd.hwkl1u	But would they let him go on shore that evening?
hvd.hwkl1u	But would this imprudence be of any use to him?
hvd.hwkl1u	But, if that is so, how did you get here?
hvd.hwkl1u	By whom?
hvd.hwkl1u	Can we succeed?
hvd.hwkl1u	Can you do any thing to prevent Miss Brandon from carry- ing out her purposes?
hvd.hwkl1u	Can you hope that he will ever love you? ” “ Yes, any day I may wish for it.
hvd.hwkl1u	Champcey, we are satisfied, I hope?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Champcey?
hvd.hwkl1u	Champcey? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	Come, let us be frank: what has she told you? ” He hoped she would say a word at least.
hvd.hwkl1u	Consider, lieutenant, do you feel strong enough to see him?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Could it be hoped that he would accuse himself?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could not Brévan have possessed himself of M. Champcey's property without a murder?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could not these few lines become a terrible weapon against her?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could she have stayed any longer?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could she have told Daniel more pointedly than she had actually done, “ He whom I could love is none other but you ”?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could she remain any longer standing upon the brink of an abyss without name?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could they hope ever to meet again?
hvd.hwkl1u	Could this idea of stary- ing her into obedience have originated with her father?
hvd.hwkl1u	Count Ville- Han- dry is going soon to give a great party? ” “ The day after to- morrow, Thursday. ” “ All right.
hvd.hwkl1u	Defend herself?
hvd.hwkl1u	Destitute as you were, and almost without clothes, what could have become of you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did 186 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD Henrietta's instincts make her anticipate a crime?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did I not tell you I knew Miss Bran- 174 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD don?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did M. de Brévan ever think of that return?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did he know who Henrietta was?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did he not merely repeat the atrocious slanders of the envious world?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did he really not love Henrietta truly, because he was on the point of giving her up for the sake of doing his duty?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did he resort to mean cheating, or to improper enterprises, in order to satisfy his passions?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did he see himself as he really was,-hideous?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did he think she had stolen the ring?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did it not imply that Miss Brandon had been taken suddenly ill, and that people were anxious about her?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did not his em- ployer speculate himself?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did she ask for money?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did she even hear Daniel?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did she look like such a terrible creditor?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did she not know beforehand that the count would not believe her?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did she really love him?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did they expect some catastrophe to result from her despair?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did they not actually say she had been the accomplice of a wretched thief, a cashier of some bank, who had become a defaulter?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did they not admit the most extraordi- nary interpretation?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did they not say that she had driven a foolish young man, a gambler, to commit suicide; and that she had watched, unmoved, the tortures of his agony?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did you not mean that?
hvd.hwkl1u	Did you not say it was nothing?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you know that he loves Sarah? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you know what kind of a woman the count's daughter is?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you see me?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you see that the position of these daring adventurers, however secure it may appear, may, after all, hang on a single thread?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you see that your hesita- tion is an insult? ” “ Well- yes."
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you smell that abom- inable charcoal? ” Everybody tried to perceive the odor; and soon all agreed that he was right.
hvd.hwkl1u	Do n't you think you might eat a little something?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do they not know that I am master in my own house?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you doubt the authenticity of these letters?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you feel strong enough? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you know that you can not stand up fifteen minutes? ” “ I can lie down in my berth. ” “ You would kill yourself. ” “ What of that?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you know that you can not stand up fifteen minutes? ” “ I can lie down in my berth. ” “ You would kill yourself. ” “ What of that?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you know what I discovered by dint of indefatigable investigations?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you know what it was?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you know what would happen?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you know whether Chevassat lives in Paris under an assumed name? ” “ No, sir!
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you mean to denounce us?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you not think she might have made you sign your own death- sentence?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you really think that your arguments would be stronger than Sarah Bran- don's?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you remember the man's amazing im- pudence as long as he thought he could not be con- victed of the crime?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you still remember your promises?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you think I do n't know what you must have suffered?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you think I would buy a cat in a bag?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you think I would leave you, after having been just in time to save your life?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you want me to write to him?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you want to see him?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you want to see me at your feet?
hvd.hwkl1u	Do you want to speak to me?'
hvd.hwkl1u	Does any way occur to you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Every ten minutes he paused in his walk to ask at the door, with a voice full of anxiety, “ Well?
hvd.hwkl1u	Finally, and above all, you will be all ears and all eyes. ” “ I am sorry to say I do not understand you yet. ” “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	For Daniel's return?
hvd.hwkl1u	For did they not both covet with equal eagerness the fortune which she would inherit from her mother as soon as she came of age?
hvd.hwkl1u	For the simple reason that Malgat was sen- tenced in contumaciam to ten years in the peniten- tiary. ” “ And what has become of the poor wretch?"
hvd.hwkl1u	For the world, for the courts, the guilty one will be Count Ville- Handry. ” “ For the courts?"
hvd.hwkl1u	From whom did you receive this money?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had Maxime really felt such warm sympathy for his friend?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he any expectation to prevent a struggle with her by exaggerating her strength?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he any reasons to think that Daniel might perish in this dangerous campaign?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he at any period of her life come in contact with her?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he been swept off?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he come merely to confide to Daniel the amaz- ing romance of his love?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he not already discovered, by the address of one of her letters, that she was the daughter of Count Ville- Handry?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he not altered the entries in the books in order to prove this assertion?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had he not an ample income of his own?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had her father at last come to her assistance?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had she any right to do so?
hvd.hwkl1u	Had the shrewd man foreseen this noble aban- donment of the poor girl?
hvd.hwkl1u	Has he ever said a word about it?
hvd.hwkl1u	Has he ever spoken to him?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Have I not told you"- The old dealer smiled almost contemptuously, and then continued, “ What does that prove?
hvd.hwkl1u	Have they not promised you Miss Ville- Handry's hand?
hvd.hwkl1u	Have they talked to you about Mal- gat? ” And, as he hesitated to answer, she added, — “ Ah, answer me!
hvd.hwkl1u	Have you a large fortune? ” “ About fifty thousand dollars."
hvd.hwkl1u	Having been caught already in the very first trap she had prepared for his inexperience, was he to risk falling into a second?
hvd.hwkl1u	He added,- “ Miss Sarah will talk to me about her marriage. ” “ Certainly she will. ” “ What can I say?"
hvd.hwkl1u	He could not flee, having no money; and where should he hide?
hvd.hwkl1u	He has accomplices, you think, do you? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.hwkl1u	He has done it; he has dared do it! ” “ Who is this he?
hvd.hwkl1u	He laughed, and replied, “ Do n't be a fool: who talks to you of mur- der?
hvd.hwkl1u	He might possibly forgive you; but she- Do n't you think she would avail herself to the utmost of her influence over him?
hvd.hwkl1u	He must go, and stifle all those ominous voices which rise from the depth of his heart, and say to him, “ Will you ever return?
hvd.hwkl1u	He puts up his eyeglass, and looks at me up and down; and then he says in his finest manner,'What is it, my good fellow?
hvd.hwkl1u	He rang the bell, however; and, when a servant came to the door, he inquired,-"M. Thomas Elgin? ” “ M.
hvd.hwkl1u	He replied, as if much puzzled by Henrietta's doubts,- “ What, madam, you do not see yet?
hvd.hwkl1u	He said simply,- “ Who, then, threw, during the voyage, an enor- mous block at M. Champcey's head?
hvd.hwkl1u	He said, “ Then you detest, you envy, this Miss Brandon? ” “ I, father?
hvd.hwkl1u	He said, “ Then you detest, you envy, this Miss Brandon? ” “ I, father?
hvd.hwkl1u	He said,- “ But how about your friend?
hvd.hwkl1u	He said,-- “ Do you pretend being an honest man? ” “ What!
hvd.hwkl1u	He seemed to be stupefied. ” “ You did not try to make him talk? ” “ Why, yes, a little.
hvd.hwkl1u	He stammered,- “ How did you know? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	He uttered a low cry of satisfaction, and could not refrain from casting a look of triumph at Daniel and the doctor, which said clearly, – “ Well?
hvd.hwkl1u	He was asleep as you see him now. ” “ And how did his eyes look when he fell asleep?"
hvd.hwkl1u	He went on,- “ And do you know, M. Champcey, what has been the effect of your brutality?
hvd.hwkl1u	He would not eat. ” “ What did he say when he got here? ” “ Nothing.
hvd.hwkl1u	Hence why might she not as well give way at once?
hvd.hwkl1u	Here, you see, he could not have come twice without betraying the secret of your existence. ” “ But where are we going? ” asked Mrs. Bertolle.
hvd.hwkl1u	How are we in your way?
hvd.hwkl1u	How came it about that Miss Henrietta had rooms in your house? ” The concierge was evidently ill at ease: something was troubling him sorely.
hvd.hwkl1u	How came it about that the count had stayed at home, instead of hurrying off immediately after dinner, as was his custom?
hvd.hwkl1u	How can I do that?
hvd.hwkl1u	How can we pre- vent his marrying Miss Sarah?
hvd.hwkl1u	How can you say you did not speculate on'Change?'
hvd.hwkl1u	How can you there escape from inquiry and pursuit?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could M. de Brévan ever have selected such a room, such a hole?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could a young girl, usually so reserved, and naturally so timid, make up her mind to cause such scandal?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could any one unearth the truth from among such a mass of falsehood and deception?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could he hope to compete with such a woman?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could he, with his deeply- rooted aristocratic prejudices, ever consent to lend his name to an industrial enterprise?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could the poor girl wait till then?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could their future depend in any way on her own future?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could they do it, seeing before them the empty seat, once occupied by her who was the life of the whole house, and now never to be filled again?
hvd.hwkl1u	How could we imagine that the world would set to work doubting our honor upon the mere word of a wretch like him?"
hvd.hwkl1u	How could you hand over your poor Henrietta to such a wretch?
hvd.hwkl1u	How did he support himself while he was thus vagabondizing?
hvd.hwkl1u	How did you call him?
hvd.hwkl1u	How do all these people live?
hvd.hwkl1u	How had Maxime de Brévan become Daniel's friend?
hvd.hwkl1u	How had it come about?
hvd.hwkl1u	How had she accounted for her own excitement?
hvd.hwkl1u	How had they been surprised?
hvd.hwkl1u	How had they both been reduced to this more than modest condition?
hvd.hwkl1u	How have you supported yourself at Saigon? ” “ By my work, forsooth!
hvd.hwkl1u	How much about have you saved?
hvd.hwkl1u	How should he reach her?
hvd.hwkl1u	How so? ” “ How so?
hvd.hwkl1u	How so? ” “ How so?
hvd.hwkl1u	How?
hvd.hwkl1u	How?
hvd.hwkl1u	I believed in the friendship of that man. ” “ And besides, ” remarked Mrs. Bertolle, “ how could you suppose such atrocious treachery?
hvd.hwkl1u	I do not know if I have made it all clear to you? ” “ Oh, perfectly, sir! ” “ Then we understand each other.
hvd.hwkl1u	I had a thousand reasons for wishing ardently that he should remain in Paris. ” “ A thousand reasons?
hvd.hwkl1u	I had coveted the fortune of this dear count, 282 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD my husband?
hvd.hwkl1u	I had forgotten it. ” Was it already too late to send it to M. de Brévan?
hvd.hwkl1u	I have always heard him called Chevas- sat by everybody. ” “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	I have two arms; and I am not a good- for- nothing. ” “ You have found employment, you say, as en- graver on metal? ” “ No."
hvd.hwkl1u	I once said to him, ‘ Do you know you look like a prodigiously lucky fel- low?'
hvd.hwkl1u	I only know that she can not become the Countess Ville- Handry,—she who has filled all Paris with evil re- ports. ” “ Who has told you so?
hvd.hwkl1u	I pretend?
hvd.hwkl1u	I said there could not be another miracle; and here it is! ” Then turning to Lefloch, he asked,- “ You know where I am staying?"
hvd.hwkl1u	I should allow my father to marry such a creature?
hvd.hwkl1u	I should commit a mur- der?
hvd.hwkl1u	I suppose I picked it up some- where. ” “ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	I want you to see Miss Sarah. ” “ But who will point her out to me?
hvd.hwkl1u	I will ask you, in my turn, who is it that has done every thing that could possibly be done to prevent my marriage?
hvd.hwkl1u	I will tell you all as soon as I am better informed. ” “ When will that be?
hvd.hwkl1u	If Papa THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 361 Ravinet was sincere, she might be enabled to wait for Daniel: if he was not sincere, what did she risk?
hvd.hwkl1u	If some fool should see me leave your rooms? ” “ Pardon me, Miss Brandon, that is no answer to my question.
hvd.hwkl1u	If that was so,—and it was but too probable,—to whom should he send his letters hereafter?
hvd.hwkl1u	If the thing fails, on the other hand, who is to pay?
hvd.hwkl1u	If they had arrested you when they saw you had no papers; if they had carried you before a magistrate- eh?
hvd.hwkl1u	If we mentioned Malgat at all, it was with pity and contempt; for what could he do to us?
hvd.hwkl1u	In the meantime will you play us a quadrille?
hvd.hwkl1u	Is it a question of money, the count's fortune? ” “ Miss Brandon! ” “ No, it is not that, I see.
hvd.hwkl1u	Is it not quite clear THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 419 that this wicked woman only tries to put my suspi- cions to sleep?
hvd.hwkl1u	Is it not you, always you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Is it possible? ” “ Most assuredly, unfortunately.
hvd.hwkl1u	Is it the heat that makes you feel badly?
hvd.hwkl1u	Is not Paris the haven in which all shipwrecked sailors of society seek a refuge?
hvd.hwkl1u	Is this the virtuous young lady who dares to insult Miss Sarah?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Is what you have to tell me really THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 215 so important as you say?
hvd.hwkl1u	It is impossible for you to obey! ” “ Henrietta, my honor is at stake. ” “ Ah, what does it matter? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	It was four o'clock in the morning, mind! ”"Is it possible?
hvd.hwkl1u	Let us see: we ought to ascertain first, Why, and for what purpose, should he have gone and risked the fortune of other people on'Change?
hvd.hwkl1u	Master Chevassat was the first to rise, and said,- “ What is the matter?
hvd.hwkl1u	Might it not be in- tercepted, like the others?
hvd.hwkl1u	Might not Maxime be mistaken?
hvd.hwkl1u	Miss Brandon was certain of achieving her end: what more did she want?
hvd.hwkl1u	Must I actually aid her in ob- taining possession of this unlucky man? ” But what could he do?
hvd.hwkl1u	Must I actually aid her in ob- taining possession of this unlucky man? ” But what could he do?
hvd.hwkl1u	Must I needs have such a mishap? ” The magistrate had for some time been looking at the accused with an air of the most profound disgust.
hvd.hwkl1u	Must she, then, come to the conclusion that M. de Brévan had really, when he appeared before her, no other aim but to drive her to despair?
hvd.hwkl1u	Need I tell you after that, that I soon became an almost daily visitor at the house in Circus Street?
hvd.hwkl1u	Need I tell you who the woman is whom I have chosen for you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Never allow yourself the slightest allusion. ” “ What can I do? ” murmured the poor girl,"what can I do?
hvd.hwkl1u	Never allow yourself the slightest allusion. ” “ What can I do? ” murmured the poor girl,"what can I do?
hvd.hwkl1u	Never- do you hear me, Daniel?-never will I bow down before her.
hvd.hwkl1u	No money?'
hvd.hwkl1u	No?
hvd.hwkl1u	Now she stam- mered out,- “ But, sir ” — “ Perhaps you dislike telling a falsehood? ” “ You see — I can not, I fear.
hvd.hwkl1u	Now that they had brought her back to life, would they en- able her to live?
hvd.hwkl1u	Now, I ask you, shall I be more un- happy or more seriously threatened to- morrow than I am to- day?
hvd.hwkl1u	Now, this letter — mark the fact- was open; that is to say, it had been sealed, and the seal was broken. ” “ By whom?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Now, to be sure ”- Brévan shook his head, and said,- “ Now, you think that story might become a weapon in your hands?
hvd.hwkl1u	On my return home, I happened to pass your house; and I said to myself, “ Why not go up and see my sailor friend?
hvd.hwkl1u	On the other hand, must I necessarily deny myself my pleasant visits at the house in Circus Street, and break with friends who were so dear to me?
hvd.hwkl1u	On the other hand, was it not foolish to ask the advice of a man to whom we will not confess the whole truth?
hvd.hwkl1u	One might very easily have imagined that Papa Ravinet( was that his real name?)
hvd.hwkl1u	Only I should like to know what you mean to do? ” 322 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD saken as I am, nevertheless live.
hvd.hwkl1u	Only day before yesterday, he offered you his whole fortune"- “ Madam,"stammered Henrietta, “ have you no mercy? ” Mercy — Mrs.
hvd.hwkl1u	Or did he get back into the boat?
hvd.hwkl1u	Or did they never agree, and am I the victim of a double plot?
hvd.hwkl1u	Ought I, or ought I not, to help her?
hvd.hwkl1u	Ought he to mention his discovery?
hvd.hwkl1u	Outside of this marriage, Miss Brandon must be pursuing some other plan. ” “ What plan? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl1u	Perhaps you have not heard yet? ” “ I beg your pardon, captain. ” “ Why on earth, then, have you no epaulets?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Perhaps you have not heard yet? ” “ I beg your pardon, captain. ” “ Why on earth, then, have you no epaulets?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Perhaps you would even want me to call her mamma?
hvd.hwkl1u	Repeat the impudent avowals of the count- ess?
hvd.hwkl1u	Sarah Brandon?
hvd.hwkl1u	She broke in, laughing ironic- ally,-"I?
hvd.hwkl1u	She has written to you? ” “ Yes: it is that accursed letter, more than any thing else, that brings me here.
hvd.hwkl1u	She interrupted him, and said reproachfully, – “ Do you really think I am not strong enough to hear the truth? ” At first he did not reply.
hvd.hwkl1u	She painted to you the phenix in such colors, that you had to say to yourself, “ What does she mean?
hvd.hwkl1u	She said in a low voice,- “ There are secrets which can not be revealed. ” “ Not even when life and honor depend on them?"
hvd.hwkl1u	She seized her father's hand, and, carrying him to a mir- ror, she said in a hoarse voice, “ Why?'
hvd.hwkl1u	She was about to exclaim,- “ What has kept you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Should he challenge every one of these men, and fight one, two, ten duels?
hvd.hwkl1u	Should he see Miss Brandon?
hvd.hwkl1u	Should he speak?
hvd.hwkl1u	Should he tell Count Ville- Handry, that if he really heard cries of pain, and sobs, they were certainly not uttered by Miss Brandon?
hvd.hwkl1u	Since when does this journal exist?
hvd.hwkl1u	Sir Thom asked him coolly, “ Where do you think of going?
hvd.hwkl1u	Something must have happened between the two which we do not know. ” 466 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD “ What? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl1u	Still he might, perhaps, profit by this strange event; but how?
hvd.hwkl1u	Still, as the bearer might be im- patient, the servant asked, — “ What must I tell the man? ” “ Ah, wait! ” answered Daniel angrily.
hvd.hwkl1u	Suddenly, as her foot touched the bottom of the carriage, she drew back, and cried out, “ What is that?
hvd.hwkl1u	Suppose I told you worse things than these, and could prove them?
hvd.hwkl1u	THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 167 How had Miss Brandon explained his escape?
hvd.hwkl1u	THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 221 By whom?
hvd.hwkl1u	THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 27 “ You mean my letters? ” “ I have both. ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl1u	THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 319 “ And I shall wait for him, ” she said, her teeth firmly set,—“I shall wait for him! ” How?
hvd.hwkl1u	THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 349 Why should she any longer maintain the useless struggle?
hvd.hwkl1u	THE YOUNG LADY WILL SEE HOW NICE IT IS ”, THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 309 “ But what is the use, ” she said to herself, “ of thinking of what is past?
hvd.hwkl1u	Ten times during the afternoon she opened the window, to look for- what?
hvd.hwkl1u	That handsome young man knew how the poor girl suffered?
hvd.hwkl1u	That is Saigon, is it? ” said to Daniel a voice full of delight.
hvd.hwkl1u	That was clear enough, was n't it?
hvd.hwkl1u	That with poor Kergrist? ” “ How do I know which?
hvd.hwkl1u	That with poor Kergrist? ” “ How do I know which?
hvd.hwkl1u	The count ac- tually noticed his downcast look, and, misinterpret- ing it, asked him,- “ Could you doubt what I say?"
hvd.hwkl1u	The happy lover of Miss Brandon? ” “ Yes, it is so.
hvd.hwkl1u	The lawyer continued, THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 485 “ Where and how did you make the acquaintance of this Justin Chevassat?
hvd.hwkl1u	The min- ister is very angry with you. ” “ The minister?
hvd.hwkl1u	The old man continued, “ Do you wish to defeat our triumph?
hvd.hwkl1u	The passers- by, noticing the crowd, went up and asked, “ What is going on? ” “ A wedding,"was the answer.
hvd.hwkl1u	The police in the house?
hvd.hwkl1u	The stage was gorgeous; but what did they care for the singer on THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 91 the boards, or the divine music of Mozart?
hvd.hwkl1u	Then, turning again to the valet, he asked, 234 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD “ How did it happen? ” “ Very naturally.
hvd.hwkl1u	Then, when he thought Daniel had sufficiently ad- mired him, he continued,- “ Now, what of Miss Brandon?
hvd.hwkl1u	There were a hundred ways; but which to choose?
hvd.hwkl1u	They are sacred to me; but the rest, I have already given orders. ” “ And you expect to sell every thing in the three days before your departure?
hvd.hwkl1u	They have no doubt deceived him, cheated him, misled him, and driven him at last to the verge of bankruptcy. ” “ Who?
hvd.hwkl1u	This made him very respectful at once; and he replied, “ Lieutenant, all the men are in town. ” THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 405 “ How so?
hvd.hwkl1u	This woman had gone to see Daniel?
hvd.hwkl1u	This work on which we are busy is very pressing, you say: why could we not finish it? ” “ Well, let us sit up then,"said the good widow.
hvd.hwkl1u	To be sure, there was that furniture dealer, who must be paid; but she would have been quite will- ing to make him wait; and why should he not?
hvd.hwkl1u	To play the virtuous woman, was it?
hvd.hwkl1u	To the memory of your offences on the occasion of her wedding?
hvd.hwkl1u	To this charge, which fell like a blow upon his face, he only replied,- “ I have proofs. ” “ What proofs?"
hvd.hwkl1u	To what do you attribute Sarah's implacable enmity?
hvd.hwkl1u	Turning to Daniel, he asked him,- “ Do you'persist in your declaration, lieutenant?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was Count Ville- Handry a fool?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was Henrietta thus betrayed even by the girl whom she thought so fully devoted to her interests, and since when?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was he anxious to make a return for some kindness shown to him?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was he conscious of the im- mense loss which he had suffered?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was he not capable of anything, the wretched man, who had betrayed him so infamously,-capable even of arming an assassin?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was he really what he appeared to be?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was he waiting for her to tell him of her distress, and to ask him for money?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was it 236 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD not understood that we would have nothing to do with the count's private affairs? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	Was it merely from charity that he did all this?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was it possible, was it natural, that a great nobleman like the count should end thus miserably, ridiculously?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was it pride, or was it prudence?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was it true that real love destroys in us the faculty of reasoning, and of distinguishing truth from falsehood?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was she forgetting herself?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was she going away?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was she not, perhaps, under the influence of one of those hallucinations which fevers produce?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was she of mar- ble, and susceptible only of delight in foolish vanity?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was she really about to betray her secret?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was that a life?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was that not quite enough for a man of sixty- five and for a young girl who did not spend a thou- sand a year on her toilet?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was this possible?
hvd.hwkl1u	Was this true?
hvd.hwkl1u	We must know our enemies: how else can we even smile at them?
hvd.hwkl1u	Weakened, ex- hausted, extenuated as he is, how can he endure it?
hvd.hwkl1u	Well, are you coming? ” But they did not stir.
hvd.hwkl1u	Well, do you know what is the real state of things?
hvd.hwkl1u	Well, what are you hoping for?
hvd.hwkl1u	Well, you are doing nice things! ” “ I, count?
hvd.hwkl1u	Were all these men in citizen's dress whom he saw there really navy officers?
hvd.hwkl1u	Were they not going to restore her,--they whose business it was to cure people, and who surely had saved a number of people?
hvd.hwkl1u	What are you doing there? ” he asked his daughter.
hvd.hwkl1u	What are you going to do? ” “ Nothing,"he replied joyously, “ but that Heaven itself declares in our favor.
hvd.hwkl1u	What can you do to avoid meeting him?"
hvd.hwkl1u	What could Daniel conclude from this summary inquiry?
hvd.hwkl1u	What could be done in so little time?
hvd.hwkl1u	What could he do to prove that he was not a coward?
hvd.hwkl1u	What could he do?
hvd.hwkl1u	What could she reply?
hvd.hwkl1u	What could the wretched woman have meant?
hvd.hwkl1u	What could this mean?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did I, at that time, care for Miss Brandon?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did he care for the falsehoods and the calumnies they contained?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did he understand of these speculations into which he was drawn?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did that mean?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did that signify?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did they want of her?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did this mean?
hvd.hwkl1u	What did you answer?
hvd.hwkl1u	What direct and pressing interest could M. de Brévan have in wishing him dead at that time?
hvd.hwkl1u	What discoveries might be made there?
hvd.hwkl1u	What do you mean?
hvd.hwkl1u	What do you mean?
hvd.hwkl1u	What do you mean? ” “ What I think.
hvd.hwkl1u	What do you propose to do?
hvd.hwkl1u	What do you think Miss Brandon would gain by marrying me?
hvd.hwkl1u	What do you want me to do? ” “ Nothing, I assure you."
hvd.hwkl1u	What does he want of me? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	What for? ” “ The papers that establish your identity.
hvd.hwkl1u	What good wind blows you over here? ” Then, suddenly noticing Daniel's terrified appear- ance, he added, “ But what am I talking about?
hvd.hwkl1u	What good wind blows you over here? ” Then, suddenly noticing Daniel's terrified appear- ance, he added, “ But what am I talking about?
hvd.hwkl1u	What had I done to you before my mar- riage?
hvd.hwkl1u	What had become of her?
hvd.hwkl1u	What had become of the boatman, however?
hvd.hwkl1u	What had brought it about?
hvd.hwkl1u	What had happened?
hvd.hwkl1u	What had the servant told him?
hvd.hwkl1u	What has happened?
hvd.hwkl1u	What has happened?
hvd.hwkl1u	What has happened? ” But the words died away on her lips.
hvd.hwkl1u	What interest could I have? ” Her voice began to tremble; and her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
hvd.hwkl1u	What is his profession? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl1u	What is in there? ” The count came forward, looking visibly embar- rassed.
hvd.hwkl1u	What is it?"
hvd.hwkl1u	What is the matter with you, darling?
hvd.hwkl1u	What is the matter?
hvd.hwkl1u	What is the use?
hvd.hwkl1u	What matters my fortune, if I only see my Henrietta again? ” The notary looked discouraged.
hvd.hwkl1u	What may we not conclude from those words, “ This time they have not missed me'?
hvd.hwkl1u	What more can I do?
hvd.hwkl1u	What more could he desire?
hvd.hwkl1u	What new intrigues had com- pelled her to leave the house just then?
hvd.hwkl1u	What new misfortune had happened to induce her to take such a step?
hvd.hwkl1u	What other mysterious aim could she have in view?
hvd.hwkl1u	What remains of them all?
hvd.hwkl1u	What should she do?
hvd.hwkl1u	What time is it?
hvd.hwkl1u	What unforeseen event could have happened?
hvd.hwkl1u	What was Count Ville- Handry aiming at?
hvd.hwkl1u	What was his business?
hvd.hwkl1u	What was that pur- pose?
hvd.hwkl1u	What was that something?
hvd.hwkl1u	What was the matter? ” She looked upon him in utter despair, and then said in a low voice, 262 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD “ Nothing!
hvd.hwkl1u	What was the mystery in the past of this brother and sister?
hvd.hwkl1u	What was this sum of money?
hvd.hwkl1u	What were the grave discussions that made so much noise?
hvd.hwkl1u	What were they doing there at this hour?
hvd.hwkl1u	What will you do? ” “ What I said I would do, whatever it may cost me. ” “ But could you not- “ Yield?
hvd.hwkl1u	What will you do? ” “ What I said I would do, whatever it may cost me. ” “ But could you not- “ Yield?
hvd.hwkl1u	What would be the use?
hvd.hwkl1u	What would have been the use?
hvd.hwkl1u	What would she not have given for the right to run away and read it at once?
hvd.hwkl1u	What would they say and think?
hvd.hwkl1u	What would you say?"
hvd.hwkl1u	What wretched joke have you been playing? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	What's the matter? ” “ A great misfortune, I fear,"replied Daniel.
hvd.hwkl1u	What's the row?'
hvd.hwkl1u	What, then, can it be?
hvd.hwkl1u	What?
hvd.hwkl1u	What?
hvd.hwkl1u	What?
hvd.hwkl1u	What? ” Daniel did not know what he meant.
hvd.hwkl1u	When he was aroused for a time, he always asked in an almost inaudible voice, “ Are there no letters for me from France?"
hvd.hwkl1u	When they were there, he said,- “ How is it, M. Champcey, do you really owe this M. de Brévan so much money?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Whence came this terrible blow, which apparently a miracle alone had prevented from crushing the skull?
hvd.hwkl1u	Whence comes your aversion?
hvd.hwkl1u	Whence this extraordinary impudence?
hvd.hwkl1u	Where could he have found people mean enough to serve his pur- poses?
hvd.hwkl1u	Where did he buy these clothes?
hvd.hwkl1u	Where did you go?"

hvd.hwkl1u	Who are you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Who can foresee to what extremities she might be led by her hatred against you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Who could have suspected such monstrous rascality?
hvd.hwkl1u	Who could tell?

hvd.hwkl1u	Whom had she wounded, after all?
hvd.hwkl1u	Whose is it? ” Henrietta was rushing out, and down the stairs, pursued, as it seemed to her, by the cries of the crowd.
hvd.hwkl1u	Why did he urge me never to write to him otherwise than to be called for'?"
hvd.hwkl1u	Why did she not write to him when she suffered thus?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why did they try every thing to exasperate her to the ut- most?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why did you not tell me before?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why do n't you go with us? ” THE CLIQUE OF GOLD 271 She said nothing.
hvd.hwkl1u	Why do n't you go, wretched man?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why do you speak of gratitude?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why do you treat Sarah so badly, and do all you can to exasperate me? ” “ Yes, you are right.
hvd.hwkl1u	Why had not M. de Brévan thought of that beforehand?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why had not Pauline's mother waited at least till then?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why had she given her money last night?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why had they deter- mined upon M. Champcey's death even before he sailed?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why might she not intrust the fu- ture happiness of her daughter to the brother of the poor man who had loved her so dearly?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should I?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should he have inquired after his daughter, he who generally took no more trouble about her than if she had not existed?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should he not let her go on?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should he not talk with her, come to an understanding, and perhaps make a bargain with her?

hvd.hwkl1u	Why should he?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should not I live also?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should not the old merchant be one of this class?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should she? ” Seeing her brother's hesitation, the old lady took it upon herself to answer.
hvd.hwkl1u	Why should you indulge such fancies?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why this proviso?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why was he so much opposed to marriage?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why, I ask you?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why, and what purpose?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why, how do you occupy yourself? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hwkl1u	Why?
hvd.hwkl1u	Why?
hvd.hwkl1u	Will he give it?

hvd.hwkl1u	Would I have dared to speak to him?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would he be any hap- pier if he had twice or thrice as many thousands a year?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would he have condescended even to look at me?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would it reach her in time?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would people take the trouble to inquire minutely what had become of the marquis and his five sons?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would that prove that he had not shrunk from the un- known perils of a new country, from the dangers of an armed invasion, and a fatal climate?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would the count believe him?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would they believe him if he were to tell the truth?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would they believe him, if he accused her of forgery, of a trick unsurpassed in bold- 206 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD ness and wickedness?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would they even consent to an investigation; and, if they instituted one, what would be the result?
hvd.hwkl1u	Would they still be remembered in a land where they had once been all powerful?
hvd.hwkl1u	You are here, both of you, and chatting amicably like two charming sisters?
hvd.hwkl1u	You are the purest and chastest of girls whom I know; are you not?
hvd.hwkl1u	You ask who?
hvd.hwkl1u	You can do that, I presume?"
hvd.hwkl1u	You dare in- sult an angel?
hvd.hwkl1u	You do n't know how much you have laid up?
hvd.hwkl1u	You do not dare do it?
hvd.hwkl1u	You do not think of it, madam?
hvd.hwkl1u	You knew that they were assassinating my father, and you did not warn him?
hvd.hwkl1u	You know her? ” “ Certainly.
hvd.hwkl1u	You ought to inquire; for you may be close upon a terrible misfortune. ” 72 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD “ Ah, is she really so formidable?'
hvd.hwkl1u	You refuse?
hvd.hwkl1u	You tell me you have not laid up any money, do n't you?
hvd.hwkl1u	You think I am strong, brave, and capable to breast the storm?
hvd.hwkl1u	You think of seeking refuge at the house of that estimable lady? ” “ Certainly."
hvd.hwkl1u	You think, per- haps, she is still in her teens?
hvd.hwkl1u	You will not understand that Sarah is your rival; that she has loved M. Champcey; that she is still madly in love with him?
hvd.hwkl1u	You would make her sit down in the chair in which she used to sit, and let her rest her feet on the cushion which she embroidered?
hvd.hwkl1u	You?
hvd.hwkl1u	Your human justice, — do you want me to tell you what I think of it?
hvd.hwkl1u	after all you have seen of M. de Brévan, you have never suspected him of meditating your death? ” “ Why, yes!
hvd.hwkl1u	and could he not always find an honorable occupation?
hvd.hwkl1u	and do they pro- pose to treat me like a servant, and to laugh at me, into the bargain?
hvd.hwkl1u	and how attack her?
hvd.hwkl1u	and how were you re- duced to such extreme suffering? ” At last Papa Ravinet had touched the right chord.
hvd.hwkl1u	and that noth- ing is wanting in order to cut that thread but an opportunity?
hvd.hwkl1u	and what did they know positively?
hvd.hwkl1u	and who were they?
hvd.hwkl1u	and with what weapons could he attack her?
hvd.hwkl1u	and, if you find them, will they not have changed?
hvd.hwkl1u	and, if you return, will you find them all, your dear ones?
hvd.hwkl1u	do n't you know him? ” replied the other.
hvd.hwkl1u	do n't you think I suffered when I thought of your impatience?
hvd.hwkl1u	do you speak to me of unattain- able happiness?
hvd.hwkl1u	has he been reprimanded by him, or pun- ished?
hvd.hwkl1u	have I not told you, on the contrary, that Daniel himself had confided me to the care of M. de Brévan?
hvd.hwkl1u	have you not yet been able to divine Miss Brandon's plan?
hvd.hwkl1u	he knew that she was dying of hunger? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	how are you?'
hvd.hwkl1u	how can you say such a thing?
hvd.hwkl1u	if I were the woman you think I am, what would I care for Miss Henrietta and her enmity?
hvd.hwkl1u	in such a state? ” exclaimed his comrades when they saw him.
hvd.hwkl1u	is it possible?
hvd.hwkl1u	now I am sure you will grant me Miss Henrietta's friendship. ” Why did she mention that name?
hvd.hwkl1u	or did he count upon some reward in the fu- ture?
hvd.hwkl1u	or had he no aim at all?
hvd.hwkl1u	or had his interests ever been mixed up with hers?
hvd.hwkl1u	or was he only insane about Miss Rupert?
hvd.hwkl1u	or was she merely inventing a new falsehood?
hvd.hwkl1u	or was the whole scene only a bit of cruel sport?
hvd.hwkl1u	she said to him on this occasion, and often thereafter,'why ca n't we have that fool's money?'
hvd.hwkl1u	that he should marry a penniless girl, an adventuress,-he who had had the pick and choice of the richest and greatest ladies of the land?
hvd.hwkl1u	that you are entirely mine, and that I can count upon you?
hvd.hwkl1u	there, do you see?
hvd.hwkl1u	what advantage would that be to him?
hvd.hwkl1u	what had they found out?
hvd.hwkl1u	what misfor- tune could have befallen him?
hvd.hwkl1u	when, pressing Sarah Brandon to your heart, you swore to be hers forever?
hvd.hwkl1u	when?"
hvd.hwkl1u	where are you going? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	where are you, Chevassat?
hvd.hwkl1u	where?
hvd.hwkl1u	who else would do it?
hvd.hwkl1u	why did he not kill himself then?
hvd.hwkl1u	why did you not prevent my marriage, when 402 THE CLIQUE OF GOLD you could do so by a word?
hvd.hwkl1u	will they have preserved your mem- ory as faithfully as you have preserved theirs? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	you are a boatman, you say? ” Daniel ex- claimed, quite pleased at the encounter.
hvd.hwkl1u	you knew all this?
hvd.hwkl1u	you would bring another wife to this house, which is still alive with the voice of her whom we have lost?
hvd.hwkl1u	‘ Do I look,'he said, “ like a man who lives in a place like this?'
hvd.hwkl1u	“ After all, I was not positively sure; because why?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Ah, miss! ” “ Well? ” “ The count has given orders not to take any thing up stairs."
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Am I going to be ill? ” he thought.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And Brévan? ” “ I am surprised he has not yet been arrested.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And Henrietta, who has been waiting for me — what must she think of me?".
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And M. de Brévan? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And now, sir, ” she began, “ where do you take me?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And the countess, ” she asked,—“the Countess Sarah? ” “ She has gone with her husband.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And then? ” he asked, seeing that the man was hesitating.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And then? ” “ Then I ran down to tell you, and ask you to come up.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And where did they go? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And who is that fashionable young man? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And you dare tell me all these things, me, Count Ville- Handry's own daughter, the daughter of your husband? ” 1 “ Why not?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And you dare tell me all these things, me, Count Ville- Handry's own daughter, the daughter of your husband? ” 1 “ Why not?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And you have seen this blacksmith? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And you think, madam, ” resumed Henrietta, “ that sufferings like mine can be long continued?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ And- her previous life? ” The count started from his chair, and, casting a savage glance at Daniel, said,-"Oh, oh!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Are your condemnations written on your face?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ But how, how can you reconcile that, ” he said, “ with the thoroughly worldly life of Miss Brandon? ” “ Oh, very easily, my dear fellow!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ But she rose when she heard it, as if she had been stung by an insult, and repeated with crushing irony,- “ No money?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ But what did you expect, dear child?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ But what is that to me? ” he repeated.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ But, sir, this is a bargain, I should say, which you propose? ” “ Yes, indeed!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Can I love her, I? ” Then he began again to revolve in his mind what might have happened after his flight from the house.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Certainly you may count upon me, ” he replied;"but what can be done? ” “ Well, what you said yourself.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Did you hear that, Crochard?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do n't you know that I am at your service? ” Daniel certainly thought so.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do n't you know, madam, what brings me here?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you doubt my promises? ” he asked her.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you hear that? ” he asked them.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you hear? ” asked the lawyer.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you know the officer whom you have wound- ed? ” asked the magistrate when he had finished.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you know,"he asked the sailor, “ if this man was one of the four or five who had to be put in irons during the voyage? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you see that d-- little fellow, there, with his quiet ways? ” said Admiral Penhoel to his young offi- cers.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Do you write to him there?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Father, ” she said, “ listen to me. ” “ Well, what is it, now?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Has any thing happened at the house? ” he asked the servant.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Have I not yet been humiliated sufficiently?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Have I, or have I not, removed your doubts, your insulting sus- picions?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Have you any complaint against him? ” “ None at all."
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Have you really noticed nothing?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Here, and of your own accord?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How could I? ” replied the other.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How could my father ever be induced to leave his home? ” she asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How did he fall asleep? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How did you find him again? ” “ Oh!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How is she?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How is the man the sailors brought here last night? ” he asked the jailer.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How so?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How so? ” He turned his head aside, and murmured, as if speaking to himself,-- was her lover."
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How, how? ” said the count.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ How?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ I think not. ” THE CLIQUE OF GOLD"But that adventure of which you spoke some time ago? ” “ Which?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ I think not. ” THE CLIQUE OF GOLD"But that adventure of which you spoke some time ago? ” “ Which?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ If that is so, ” he said to Daniel, “ we can not blame this gentleman for the ugly trick he has played us. ” “ Blame him?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ If you succeed, as you hope, who will thank you for it?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ In his room? ” she repeated, — “ in his room? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ In his room? ” she repeated, — “ in his room? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Is it possible?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Is it you? ” he said.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ It is terrible. ” “ Do they harass you? ” “ Oh, fearfully! ” “ No doubt, your step- mother? ” “ Alas!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ It is terrible. ” “ Do they harass you? ” “ Oh, fearfully! ” “ No doubt, your step- mother? ” “ Alas!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Lieutenant? ” he said.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ M.- What did he do with his clothes?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ M.- Where did he undress?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Magistrate.- At what point of the river did Cro- chard swim across?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Me? ” “ Yes, sir.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Must I order force to be used?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Must you add shame to shame?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Need we say that this was the high and mighty Count Ville- Handry'?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ No, captain. ” “ Then, what the devil do you mean with your im- perative duty?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Nothing?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Oh! ” he said, “ there are still some honest people in the world. ” “ Ah? ” laughed the notary.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Really?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Since I have been sick, they have brought part of my baggage here: have they not? ” “ Yes, lieutenant, all of it. ” “ Well.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Sir! ” “ Pray what can you have to fear from me?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Sir? ” “ Did you not think that was extraordinary?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Sir? ” “ Did you not think that was extraordinary?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ So you will not tell the truth?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Strange?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Suppose I lose my free will, and surrender absolutely: what will become of me?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ The count is not sick? ” “ No, sir. ” “ And Miss Henrietta? ” “ My mistress is perfectly well. ” Daniel breathed more freely.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ The count is not sick? ” “ No, sir. ” “ And Miss Henrietta? ” “ My mistress is perfectly well. ” Daniel breathed more freely.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ The count's daughter,"they thought, “ and a lover?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ The other night, when I had left you, where did you go in your carriage? ” He expected to see her confused, turning pale, stam- mer.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Then he confessed?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ There is no vessel going home. ” “ Really, doctor? ” “ Ah!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ There is no way, then, of getting hold of this woman? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ There, ” he stammered, “ there! ” “ Where?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Understand each other? ” he repeated as he bowed: “ in what? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Understand each other? ” he repeated as he bowed: “ in what? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Unhappy child! ” he exclaimed,"you do not think of trying it over again? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well, Henrietta? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well, lieutenant, ” said Lefloch, delighted at his master's joy, “ did I not tell you?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well, what do you think of her? ” “ She is always sublime in her beauty, my dear.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well, what is the matter? ” he growled.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well, where is your boat? ” “ There, Mr.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well, ” she said, “ what does it matter?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well? ” The count's eyes shone with delight as he saw that she was falling into the pit he had dug for her.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well? ” he asked forgetting in his preoccupation to inquire even how the poor girl had passed the night.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well? ” “ Miss Henrietta wants a few days to consider. ” The count looked displeased, and said,-"That is absurd.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Well? ” “ To- day it is I who beseech you to do so.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What are you thinking of? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What can I do? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What can be done, then? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What do you mean? ” she said.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What do you want?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What else could there be? ” “ How do I know?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What else could there be? ” “ How do I know?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What for? ” “ Not for much.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What had he done with all that money?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What has become of him?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What has become of the murderer? ” asked Papa Ravinet.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What has happened? ” “ Something terrible, M. Daniel. ” “ Tell me, pray, what.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What is the matter with you? ” he cried, without waiting for the door to be closed behind him.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What means?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What must I say?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What paper is this, Crochard? ” asked the lawyer.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What sort of a woman is she? ” “ Ah, me!
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What was it? ” asked Count Ville- Handry, with an accent of tenderest interest, when his young wife reappeared.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What would you have? ” he went on in a tone of sarcasm.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What! ” he said, “ the hermit student from the other side of the river in this worldly region, and at this hour?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What, you know that?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ What? ” he said.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ When did “ The Valorous'come in? ” he asked again.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where are the men? ” asked Daniel.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where did Chevassat get them? ” “ Get them?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where did Chevassat get them? ” “ Get them?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where did he stay?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where did you find him? ” asked the surgeon of the men.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where is my father? ” “ In the large reception- room. ” “ Alone? ” “ No.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where is my father? ” “ In the large reception- room. ” “ Alone? ” “ No.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Where is the window? ” he asked the concièrge.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who are you?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who could have expected in our day a new edition of Law's Mississippi Scheme? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who is it, then? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who is that officer? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who is there? ” he asked.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who knows?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Who would have thought that he had loved her so deeply? ” they asked one another.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why did you not bring your daughter? ” asked one of them.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why did you not prevent her?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why not? ” “ You are young.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why should I mistrust him,"she said to herself, “ more than the others? ” But a more pleasing anxiety soon came to her assist- ance.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why should she not have written, ” he thought, “ when all the others found means to write?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why should you go to such an expense?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Why,"he said to himself, “ why might not the scamp whom we hold be the author of the other two attempts likewise?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Would it not be the height of imprudence to put myself in the power of this man? ” thought the poor girl.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ Would not a woollen dress have done quite as well?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You have seen Mrs. Chevassat? ” “ I come from her just now.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You insist upon sending me off in utter despair?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You mean I am to be put in jail? ”.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You say, commandant?"
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You see, I want to go out. ” “ Alone? ” laughed the count.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You want me to yield?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You wish to speak to me, papa? ” she said as she entered the room.
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You would prefer not going on board ship, ” he ex- claimed, “ the very day after your promotion?
hvd.hwkl1u	“ You- love- Daniel! ” she stammered,"you love him! ” And, agitated by a nervous tremor, she said, laugh- ing painfully, “ But he- he?
hvd.hwkl1u	“'Will you have pity on me?
hvd.hwkl1u	“* Then you are not angry that I spoke to you; eh?
hvd.hwkl1u	” Papa Ravinet trembled on his chair, and, raising his hands to the ceiling, exclaimed, “ Who?

mdp.39015021014827	And that's all?
mdp.39015021014827	And that's how the case stands at present?
mdp.39015021014827	And the servants?
mdp.39015021014827	And what about the ghost? mdp.39015021014827 And what about these women?"
mdp.39015021014827	And what does'Tonight at ten'mean?
mdp.39015021014827	And you heard nothing in the night?
mdp.39015021014827	Any grub left? mdp.39015021014827 Anything else?"
mdp.39015021014827	Anything else?
mdp.39015021014827	Are all the servants all right?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you afraid that your father — may be guilty?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you really happier, Margery?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you sure he's better?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you sure you put'em out to be cleaned last night?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you sure —?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you sure —?
mdp.39015021014827	Are you very fond of your uncle?
mdp.39015021014827	Because Mrs. Wharton and Mr. Winter were away?
mdp.39015021014827	But how about cases of dead relatives speaking in recognizable voices and saying things which only they could know?
mdp.39015021014827	But how could Margery have taken it? mdp.39015021014827 But how could you tell he was kneeling?"
mdp.39015021014827	But how did we miss it before? mdp.39015021014827 But how do you account for not meeting Miss Wharton's aunt?"
mdp.39015021014827	But how do you know that?
mdp.39015021014827	But how do you know that?
mdp.39015021014827	But if it was n't a ghost who was it then?
mdp.39015021014827	But she's not in danger, is she?
mdp.39015021014827	But surely it is n't very important?
mdp.39015021014827	But was that the natural thing to do?
mdp.39015021014827	But what could —?
mdp.39015021014827	But what have I done? mdp.39015021014827 But where did you —?
mdp.39015021014827	But why did n't he stay at Redlands?
mdp.39015021014827	But why did you go secretly?
mdp.39015021014827	But why did you single out Miss Wharton just now?
mdp.39015021014827	But why do you think the man last night was Mrs. Wharton's murderer?
mdp.39015021014827	But why had n't he taken Mr.Wharton's card from the tool- bag?"
mdp.39015021014827	But why should Margery — Miss Wharton — go out by the French window?
mdp.39015021014827	But why the devil is there only one set of footprints?
mdp.39015021014827	But you ca n't try a lunatic, can you?
mdp.39015021014827	But you do n't believe in the ghost yarn?
mdp.39015021014827	But — but what can he do?
mdp.39015021014827	But —Which was he to believe, his uncle or Margery?
mdp.39015021014827	Ca n't we — can't we do something?
mdp.39015021014827	Ca n't you —?
mdp.39015021014827	Can I come, Inspector?
mdp.39015021014827	Can I help?
mdp.39015021014827	Can I see your uncle?
mdp.39015021014827	Can he hear us?
mdp.39015021014827	Can you see all right?
mdp.39015021014827	Could Mrs. Stevenage have taken it? mdp.39015021014827 Could it have been Starr?"
mdp.39015021014827	D'ycm think he really lost his memory?
mdp.39015021014827	D'you know whose it is?
mdp.39015021014827	D'you mean to say,Tom interrupted,"that you believed in it?"
mdp.39015021014827	D'you mind if I do n't come?
mdp.39015021014827	D'you read his y?rn in The Planet today?
mdp.39015021014827	D'you think you could leave him for a bit? mdp.39015021014827 Did I scream?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did anyone board her here?
mdp.39015021014827	Did he confess to murdering her?
mdp.39015021014827	Did he say anything to Starr?
mdp.39015021014827	Did he say where he was going?
mdp.39015021014827	Did n't I say he did?
mdp.39015021014827	Did n't he say good- bye to you? mdp.39015021014827 Did n't you go to the station after you dropped me?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did she say why she parked her car in this wood last night?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you find anything?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you go to Redlands last night?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you have the light on?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you imagine we're working on our own? mdp.39015021014827 Did you know the man who called here yesterday afternoon?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did you know they'd taken my — my father away?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you leave your door open, Manning?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you notice how the rim of the wheel was bent? mdp.39015021014827 Did you read it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did you see him?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you see him?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you suspect him?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you think that I thought that of Hilary Starmer?
mdp.39015021014827	Did you —?
mdp.39015021014827	Do n't you agree?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you know the way she went?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you know, Manning,he said,"that Winter said he saw the Rector prowling about the grounds last night?"
mdp.39015021014827	Do you mind if I ask Starr if he said anything when he left?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you really love me, Tom dear?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you recognize the writing?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you remember the circumstances?
mdp.39015021014827	Doctor,said Tom Manning abruptly,"do you be- lieve that Wharton killed his wife?"
mdp.39015021014827	Does he live locally?
mdp.39015021014827	Does his father know?
mdp.39015021014827	Does that mean that you believeWharton is guilty?"
mdp.39015021014827	Eh? mdp.39015021014827 Even though Winter has been killed since?
mdp.39015021014827	Even where my shoes were concerned?
mdp.39015021014827	Everything all right?
mdp.39015021014827	Feel like talking?
mdp.39015021014827	From which direction?
mdp.39015021014827	Got my tobacco, Hammett?
mdp.39015021014827	Gregory Fairchild is, I suppose, Storey Martin?
mdp.39015021014827	Had Hammett really sold it to Rufus Spence?
mdp.39015021014827	Had n't we better get him down?
mdp.39015021014827	Hammett? mdp.39015021014827 Hammett?"
mdp.39015021014827	Has Janet come back too?
mdp.39015021014827	Has it never occurred to you that she may be in danger?
mdp.39015021014827	Has n't he confessed it? mdp.39015021014827 Has n't she come back?"
mdp.39015021014827	Have they —? mdp.39015021014827 Have you any information about that?"
mdp.39015021014827	Have you ever seen a ghost?
mdp.39015021014827	Have you sent for a doc- tor?
mdp.39015021014827	He had n't seen the ghost then?
mdp.39015021014827	He's been murdered — you know that, do n't you? mdp.39015021014827 How are you going to imitate a blow- out?"
mdp.39015021014827	How came a chauffeur to have discovered such a report in The Lancet? mdp.39015021014827 How can I make you understand?
mdp.39015021014827	How can I —?
mdp.39015021014827	How can I? mdp.39015021014827 How could I?
mdp.39015021014827	How could it be? mdp.39015021014827 How could there be?"
mdp.39015021014827	How could you know that?
mdp.39015021014827	How d'you mean?
mdp.39015021014827	How did he come to be practically on the scene last night then when the Rector was murdered?
mdp.39015021014827	How did you know that? mdp.39015021014827 How do you know he was a Londoner?"
mdp.39015021014827	How do you know that?
mdp.39015021014827	How do you know what it is?
mdp.39015021014827	How do you know?
mdp.39015021014827	How do you know?
mdp.39015021014827	How do you know?
mdp.39015021014827	How do you think he is, Doctor?
mdp.39015021014827	How is he?
mdp.39015021014827	How is the Rector?
mdp.39015021014827	How is the Rector?
mdp.39015021014827	How long did you feel it?
mdp.39015021014827	How long would it take the car to get from where it passed you to the bridge?
mdp.39015021014827	How mixed up?
mdp.39015021014827	How should I know?
mdp.39015021014827	I believe you saw him on his return?
mdp.39015021014827	I ca n't make exceptions, can I? mdp.39015021014827 I mean, are there any developments?"
mdp.39015021014827	I mean, you'd rather not be questioned?
mdp.39015021014827	I must stay here while Daddy is — How can I go away?
mdp.39015021014827	I s'pose you've'eard about it?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose that's dew and not rain?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose the doctor's not there?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose you do n't sleep- walk, Manning, do you?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose you heard all that went on?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose you know about the affair in India, too?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose you were n't in your uncle's confidence?
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose you were responsible for that? mdp.39015021014827 I suppose you're going on the clock?"
mdp.39015021014827	I take it that Hammett's possessed?
mdp.39015021014827	I understand,he said,"that you were not in India with them during the last part of their stay there?"
mdp.39015021014827	I. W."Whose initials are those?
mdp.39015021014827	If I'd known he was Anthony Ravenhill I'd —"Why should he tell you?
mdp.39015021014827	If he did how is it he left no tracks in the dew on the roof?
mdp.39015021014827	If he had good news,he said in a low voice,"would it have a good effect on him?"
mdp.39015021014827	If he is guilty,she went on tensely,"why — how came Mr. Winter to be shot?"
mdp.39015021014827	If he's alive?
mdp.39015021014827	In a letter?
mdp.39015021014827	In other words that she ought to die?
mdp.39015021014827	In that case,said the reporter,"why all that fuss about the hypodermic syringe?
mdp.39015021014827	In the storm?
mdp.39015021014827	In what way?
mdp.39015021014827	Inspector,he said,"is there —?
mdp.39015021014827	Is Margery there?
mdp.39015021014827	Is Miss Wharton there?
mdp.39015021014827	Is Mr. Manning here?
mdp.39015021014827	Is either of'em our man?
mdp.39015021014827	Is he —?
mdp.39015021014827	Is it Hammett?
mdp.39015021014827	Is it Hammett?
mdp.39015021014827	Is it any clearer?
mdp.39015021014827	Is it true he had a head injury in France?
mdp.39015021014827	Is it true?
mdp.39015021014827	Is n't it obvious?
mdp.39015021014827	Is she coming to stay?
mdp.39015021014827	Is that all?
mdp.39015021014827	Is that all?
mdp.39015021014827	Is that the only reason?
mdp.39015021014827	Is there a railway station there, Inspector?
mdp.39015021014827	Is there anyone else?
mdp.39015021014827	Is there anything I can do, Uncle?
mdp.39015021014827	Is there supposed to be a ghost?
mdp.39015021014827	Is this —?
mdp.39015021014827	It was rather obvious, was n't it?
mdp.39015021014827	It's gone?
mdp.39015021014827	It's very late, is n't it?
mdp.39015021014827	Kept in the garage, I suppose?
mdp.39015021014827	Let's go in at once, shall we?
mdp.39015021014827	Look here,said Gundridge,"what are you getting at?"
mdp.39015021014827	Manning,he said quietly,"what are you doing with that clerical hat?"
mdp.39015021014827	Margery dear,he whispered,"will you believe I'm — I'm only thinking of you now?"
mdp.39015021014827	Margery,said Tom earnestly,"do n't you see that the police are bound to be suspicious about it?
mdp.39015021014827	May I just have a peep at him?
mdp.39015021014827	May I put a question or two to Martin, Inspector?
mdp.39015021014827	May I see it?
mdp.39015021014827	May I see the handwriting?
mdp.39015021014827	May I stay?
mdp.39015021014827	Meaning?
mdp.39015021014827	Mr. Martin? mdp.39015021014827 Mr. Ravenhill surely is n't suggesting —?"
mdp.39015021014827	Need I explain?
mdp.39015021014827	No; a man — bearded?
mdp.39015021014827	Not if they charged someone else with the — the murder?
mdp.39015021014827	Not much to go on, is it?
mdp.39015021014827	Nothing else?
mdp.39015021014827	Now about your shoes?
mdp.39015021014827	Oh, Tom, what's happened?
mdp.39015021014827	Oh, Tom,she exclaimed wearily,"what does it all mean?"
mdp.39015021014827	Oh, what is it?
mdp.39015021014827	On the other hand,added Ravenhill solemnly,"people do leave footprints, do n't they?"
mdp.39015021014827	One other point, why did he leave the bicycle by the fence? mdp.39015021014827 Or killed her as Winter was killed?"
mdp.39015021014827	Or of Jones?
mdp.39015021014827	P.S.—Better still, why not arrange for Mr. Starmer to be brought here at once? mdp.39015021014827 Promise?"
mdp.39015021014827	Queer, is n't it? mdp.39015021014827 Ravenhill, if Wharton is n't guilty — he ca n't be! — who did kill Mrs. Wharton?
mdp.39015021014827	So they were almost like strangers to you?
mdp.39015021014827	So you saw it?
mdp.39015021014827	Some- body — that is, we thought we heard someone prowling about in the night, and —"Somebody in the house, Sir?
mdp.39015021014827	Spoke to you?
mdp.39015021014827	Supposing there had n't been a fog?
mdp.39015021014827	Surely he would n't waste time like that THE MISSING VALVE 181 when obviously the best thing he could do would be to get as far away as possible?
mdp.39015021014827	Surely you can see? mdp.39015021014827 Tall man?"
mdp.39015021014827	Tall or short?
mdp.39015021014827	Tell me, what exactly did the Inspector say?
mdp.39015021014827	Tell me, why did you want Miss Wharton as a medium? mdp.39015021014827 Tell me,"he went on,"do you think that he really suspected Miss Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	That means he knows the locality, does n't it?
mdp.39015021014827	That means —?
mdp.39015021014827	That you lost your memory?
mdp.39015021014827	The good Lord knows, I'm not superstitious, but —"But what?
mdp.39015021014827	The poacher? mdp.39015021014827 The room's cold, is n't it?"
mdp.39015021014827	The sister is a spiritualist too?
mdp.39015021014827	The woman who was murdered?
mdp.39015021014827	Then he wo n't be brought for trial?
mdp.39015021014827	Then why are you still investigating?
mdp.39015021014827	Then will you do as I ask?
mdp.39015021014827	There was just the draught of cold air, then —170 MURDER FROM BEYOND"It did n't last long?"
mdp.39015021014827	This afternoon?
mdp.39015021014827	To keep this appointment?
mdp.39015021014827	To murder her?
mdp.39015021014827	Uncle,he said,"wo n't you tell me all about it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Very early, was n't it?
mdp.39015021014827	Was he sure of it?
mdp.39015021014827	Was he —? mdp.39015021014827 Was it Miss Wharton he- was after?"
mdp.39015021014827	Was it about Margery?
mdp.39015021014827	Was it just a coin- cidence?
mdp.39015021014827	Was it you who screamed?
mdp.39015021014827	Was that Miss Wharton you brought to the house with you?
mdp.39015021014827	Was that the only reason?
mdp.39015021014827	Was that what you picked up when you dropped your cigarette case?
mdp.39015021014827	Was there a light on?
mdp.39015021014827	We do n't want to arouse suspicions, do we?
mdp.39015021014827	We might rescue Margery, certainly, but — well, we want evidence, do n't we?
mdp.39015021014827	We —"What's the great idea? mdp.39015021014827 Well, did you recognize the visitor?"
mdp.39015021014827	Well, he ca n't escape, can he?
mdp.39015021014827	Well, we need n't bother about them, need we?
mdp.39015021014827	Well, what's the last'apprecia- tion of the situation'?
mdp.39015021014827	Well, why did she go to him?
mdp.39015021014827	Well?
mdp.39015021014827	Well?
mdp.39015021014827	Well?
mdp.39015021014827	Were they both here by intent? mdp.39015021014827 Were they there when you first left your room in the night?"
mdp.39015021014827	Were you angry with me?
mdp.39015021014827	What about Margery? mdp.39015021014827 What about Miss Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	What about lanterns?
mdp.39015021014827	What about my room?
mdp.39015021014827	What about my son?

mdp.39015021014827	Why?
mdp.39015021014827	Why?
mdp.39015021014827	Will you find Hammett for me?
mdp.39015021014827	Will you'phone him at once?
mdp.39015021014827	Will you'phone up the sta- tion — West Billington 004—and tell the sergeant to send up a couple of men at once to report to me here? mdp.39015021014827 Will you?
mdp.39015021014827	Winter did?
mdp.39015021014827	With what?
mdp.39015021014827	Wo n't presently do?
mdp.39015021014827	Wo n't you come, too?
mdp.39015021014827	Wo n't you explain what you mean?
mdp.39015021014827	Wo n't you forget that I'm only a nephew,he went on,"and tell me all about it?
mdp.39015021014827	Wo n't you sit down? mdp.39015021014827 Wo n't you tell me about it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Would n't you like to come and see him?
mdp.39015021014827	Would you mind putting the car in the garage?
mdp.39015021014827	Yes, but have you thought what it means? mdp.39015021014827 Yes, but the Rector?
mdp.39015021014827	Yes, but where's my aunt?
mdp.39015021014827	Yes?
mdp.39015021014827	Yes?
mdp.39015021014827	You believe in ghosts?
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't believe he was a common or garden bur- glar, do you? mdp.39015021014827 You do n't know anything about it, do you?"
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't mind being questioned, do you?
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't suspect him, do you?
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't suspect me of — you know?
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't want to be seen, do you?
mdp.39015021014827	You don't — don't suspect her, do you?
mdp.39015021014827	You felt very bitter against her?
mdp.39015021014827	You had n't noticed it before?
mdp.39015021014827	You have n't been drinking, have you? mdp.39015021014827 You have n't touched it?"
mdp.39015021014827	You heard nothing in the Rector's room?
mdp.39015021014827	You knew he was possessed, did n't you?
mdp.39015021014827	You know all that? mdp.39015021014827 You know the ancient idea that men could be pos- sessed of devils?"
mdp.39015021014827	You know the rumor about an engagement?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean that what happened between your fall 30 MURDER FROM BEYOND and your finding yourself in the drive is a complete blank?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean they're not to be detained, Sir?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean you went to a seance?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean — a burglar?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean —?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean —?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean —?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean, I suppose, that if he had known soon enough what she had to tell him he could have pre- vented the murder?
mdp.39015021014827	You mean,he asked,"that we are going to do something?"
mdp.39015021014827	You mean,he said eagerly,"that there's some doubt about him?"
mdp.39015021014827	You see the date? mdp.39015021014827 You went to the station, did n't you?"
mdp.39015021014827	You —"You're Mr. Manning, are n't you, Sir?
mdp.39015021014827	You're not going to question her about the man you say she went to see in London — Springfield?
mdp.39015021014827	You're not going yet, are you?
mdp.39015021014827	You're not suggesting that I've made that up?
mdp.39015021014827	You're pretty thorough, are n't you, Ravenhill?
mdp.39015021014827	You're sure it's no one in the house, Starr?
mdp.39015021014827	You've been here all the time?
mdp.39015021014827	You've never been to a seance?
mdp.39015021014827	Your own, for instance?
mdp.39015021014827	'As it gone?"
mdp.39015021014827	... By the way, Doctor, do you know a man named Spence — Rufus Spence?"
mdp.39015021014827	... By the way, how's the Rector?"
mdp.39015021014827	122 MURDER FROM BEYOND"He did n't question you, did he?"
mdp.39015021014827	186 MURDER FROM BEYOND"How did you discover it?"
mdp.39015021014827	227 228 MURDER FROM BEYOND"Dear,"he said,"wo n't you leave this place?
mdp.39015021014827	306 REVELATION 307"What about you, Miss"Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	42 MURDER FROM BEYOND"Why did you go away like that?"
mdp.39015021014827	58 MURDER FROM BEYOND"What time does the'bus arrive, Bill?"
mdp.39015021014827	81 82 MURDER FROM BEYOND"How about you?"
mdp.39015021014827	86 MURDER FROM BEYOND Ca n't you trust me, Miss Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	About this affair?"
mdp.39015021014827	After all, Service did n't forbid you to talk about that letter, did he?"
mdp.39015021014827	And how does he know how to use it?
mdp.39015021014827	And since he was watched is n't it probable that someone else came from there?
mdp.39015021014827	And what had Ravenhill said?
mdp.39015021014827	And why had Service made Margery show him over the house?
mdp.39015021014827	And why the shadowing?
mdp.39015021014827	And would that someone else be Jones, who'd followed him apparently to prevent murder being done?"
mdp.39015021014827	And you say he's seen it, Sir?"
mdp.39015021014827	Are the two crimes connected, or are they a coincidence?"
mdp.39015021014827	Besides —"When did you sprain your hand?"
mdp.39015021014827	But are you sure —?"
mdp.39015021014827	But how could he doubt her?
mdp.39015021014827	But supposing his uncle were ill?
mdp.39015021014827	But what was wrong with him?
mdp.39015021014827	But what's he doing here?"
mdp.39015021014827	But who could it be?"
mdp.39015021014827	But who was he?
mdp.39015021014827	But why not, any- how?"
mdp.39015021014827	But why, when you'd got Hammett?"
mdp.39015021014827	But would a private soldier — you suggest that that's what he was, do n't you?—know how to use aconitine?"
mdp.39015021014827	But would he then carry it about with him afterwards?
mdp.39015021014827	By the way, where's your room?"
mdp.39015021014827	Ca n't you postpone charging him?"
mdp.39015021014827	Ca n't you see?
mdp.39015021014827	Ca n't you see?"
mdp.39015021014827	Can you recall any other sounds?"
mdp.39015021014827	Coincidence?
mdp.39015021014827	Come up to London and —""How can I?"
mdp.39015021014827	Could Spence possibly be the murderer?
mdp.39015021014827	Could he ask her about that diary?
mdp.39015021014827	Could he be Storey Martin?
mdp.39015021014827	Could he see Margery?
mdp.39015021014827	Could it be 17 18 MURDER FROM BEYOND for the comfort of a friend and a priest?
mdp.39015021014827	D'you feel ill?"
mdp.39015021014827	D'you know why?"
mdp.39015021014827	D'you mind staying here alone, nurse?"
mdp.39015021014827	D'you think it was Storey Martin?"
mdp.39015021014827	D'you think it was a plant?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did I lose it?
mdp.39015021014827	Did Margery want his presence and help, and had she hit upon this method of getting him to the house?
mdp.39015021014827	Did Raven- hill know about the two staircases?
mdp.39015021014827	Did Storey Martin know, he wondered, that his son was in prison?
mdp.39015021014827	Did he suspect Margery?
mdp.39015021014827	Did n't he kill Winter next day?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did n't she,'Ammett?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did n't someone spy on you yesterday?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did n't the man who tried to kill Winter come from there — probably from the station?
mdp.39015021014827	Did she even know of the mur- der?
mdp.39015021014827	Did she know?
mdp.39015021014827	Did the Rector suspect a woman?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did they go to bed late?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did you know anything about it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did you see something or not?"
mdp.39015021014827	Did your uncle know the Whartons before then?"
mdp.39015021014827	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you know anybody of the name of Captain Thomas?"
mdp.39015021014827	Do you know, Starr?"
mdp.39015021014827	Do you mean you lost your mem- ory?"
mdp.39015021014827	Do you under- stand?"
mdp.39015021014827	Do you understand?
mdp.39015021014827	Do you want the car?
mdp.39015021014827	Does n't it all fit to- gether?"
mdp.39015021014827	Go and ring for him, then, will you?"
mdp.39015021014827	HAMMETT SEES A GHOST 133"But what happened?"
mdp.39015021014827	HAMMETT SEES A GHOST 137"What do you think about it, Starr?"
mdp.39015021014827	Hammett was good enough, was n't he?"
mdp.39015021014827	He ca n't release him without a magistrate's order, can he?"
mdp.39015021014827	He went for a walk in the ordinary way that night and —""I understand that he had a fall?"
mdp.39015021014827	He — Manning, how long is it since he knocked me out?"
mdp.39015021014827	He —""But surely he could have seen?"
mdp.39015021014827	He —""When Starr heard them quarreling?"
mdp.39015021014827	He'd have heard —""Whose bicycle is it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Hello?
mdp.39015021014827	How could the man be so flippant when murder had been done and the Law would de- mand a life in return?
mdp.39015021014827	How do I come into the affair?"
mdp.39015021014827	How should I know?"
mdp.39015021014827	How then was Margery in danger?
mdp.39015021014827	How —?"
mdp.39015021014827	I suppose they're in that room where the light is?"
mdp.39015021014827	I take it you want to get after him now?"
mdp.39015021014827	I watched you and — I take it you've got him?"
mdp.39015021014827	I —""Well, what happened next?"
mdp.39015021014827	I've told you about Ravenhill, have n't I?
mdp.39015021014827	If not, why had he been killed?
mdp.39015021014827	If that was Jones why should he double in his tracks and make a detour by road round West Billington?'"
mdp.39015021014827	Instead,"Will you go up to Miss Margery,"he said,"and ask her to come down to me in the library?
mdp.39015021014827	Is he at work again through supernatural forces?
mdp.39015021014827	Is he involved?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is he subject to that sort of thing?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is he — in prison?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is it a diabolical new invention?
mdp.39015021014827	Is it certain that she was murdered?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is it someone we know?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is n't Miss Wharton's private history probably involved?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is n't that right, Inspector?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is n't that so, Inspector?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is that it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Is there any objection to my going back to London tomorrow?"
mdp.39015021014827	It was a coincidence, was n't it?
mdp.39015021014827	It would simplify matters, would n't it?
mdp.39015021014827	Look here, let's go to Redlands and see Ravenhill — I've told you about him, have n't I?
mdp.39015021014827	Married Terence Wharton in London in 1909 and —""Then Miss Wharton —?
mdp.39015021014827	Might he not have confessed to a lesser crime in order to escape being accused of the greater?"
mdp.39015021014827	Moreover — what did you make of 100 INTERLUDE 101 that piece of cloth we found on the bramble?"
mdp.39015021014827	No?
mdp.39015021014827	No?
mdp.39015021014827	Not another murder, Sir?"
mdp.39015021014827	Now do you see?"
mdp.39015021014827	Now then, Mr. Ravenhill, are you ready?"
mdp.39015021014827	Oh, Tom, they do n't think he did it, do they?"
mdp.39015021014827	Once he thought he heard the click 150 152 MURDER FROM BEYOND"Did you see him?"
mdp.39015021014827	Or had she acted under compul- sion?
mdp.39015021014827	Or was there something else?
mdp.39015021014827	People in this world can learn things about other folk and imitate them; why should n't spirits do the same?
mdp.39015021014827	Ravenhill?"
mdp.39015021014827	Ravenhill?"
mdp.39015021014827	Raving is he?
mdp.39015021014827	Rumor had it that there'd been an understanding between her and that fellow — what was his name?
mdp.39015021014827	See the leaf?"
mdp.39015021014827	Service —?"
mdp.39015021014827	She — but what am I saying?
mdp.39015021014827	She —""And where was Hammett?"
mdp.39015021014827	She'd in- form the police, would n't she?"
mdp.39015021014827	Should he arouse the house or act secretly?
mdp.39015021014827	Show the nurse to the Rector's room, will you?"
mdp.39015021014827	So he knows your uncle, does he?
mdp.39015021014827	Suppose you keep watch down below, Manning?"
mdp.39015021014827	Surely he had no need to go out at this time of night?
mdp.39015021014827	Surely it would have been better to take it back to Spence's?"
mdp.39015021014827	Surely there can be no other reason for abducting her?"
mdp.39015021014827	THE SECOND CRIME 39"Has he told you anything?"
mdp.39015021014827	THE SECOND CRIME 49"What about this fellow Winter?"
mdp.39015021014827	THE WATCHER IN THE GARDEN 109"But do n't you see he'd he amongst friends?"
mdp.39015021014827	THE WATCHERS OF THE NIGHT 53"Is anyone absent?"
mdp.39015021014827	THE WATCHERS OF THE NIGHT 55"Where's the Inspector?"
mdp.39015021014827	TOM SEES THE GHOST 211"Where is it?"
mdp.39015021014827	That'll be all right, wo n't it?"
mdp.39015021014827	That's the one that goes round the house, is n't it?"
mdp.39015021014827	The circumstances were difficult, were n't they?
mdp.39015021014827	The question is, what happened between those two hours, and also why was the car in first gear?"
mdp.39015021014827	The question is; does it lead to the right conclusion?
mdp.39015021014827	Then he had an accident and —""What sort of accident?
mdp.39015021014827	Then with the memory of her"Tom dear"he asked her gently:"Why did you prevent my seeing you all last week, dear?"
mdp.39015021014827	Then, aloud,"What happened when you got back?
mdp.39015021014827	Then,"D'you know which is Starr's room?"
mdp.39015021014827	Then,"Is it true that Whar- ton has confessed?"
mdp.39015021014827	Then:"Can you hear me?"
mdp.39015021014827	Then:"Do you know anyone of the name of Springfield?"
mdp.39015021014827	Then:"I suppose Wharton'll be released now?"
mdp.39015021014827	Then:"You know of no appointment for that evening?"
mdp.39015021014827	There are several prints on the wet stones beyond the garage door, and —""Then it was n't Hammett?"
mdp.39015021014827	There's some- one at Redlands named Winter, is n't there?"
mdp.39015021014827	Those eyes —"Where are you going now?"
mdp.39015021014827	To his surprise Ravenhill asked him:"Have you told Springfield of our discoveries this morning?
mdp.39015021014827	Was Margery posing?
mdp.39015021014827	Was it a police agent?
mdp.39015021014827	Was it the same cause that had also drawn the men called Thomas and Jones?
mdp.39015021014827	Was it the same cause that had sent Winter into the garden, caused Wharton and Starr to prowl about and Mar- gery to go to London?
mdp.39015021014827	Was n't Mrs. Wharton what is called'fast'?
mdp.39015021014827	Was she not popularly supposed to be engaged to Winter?
mdp.39015021014827	Was she one of the circle?
mdp.39015021014827	Well, what was his manner?"
mdp.39015021014827	Were they bluffing Storey Martin so that he would not commit suicide?
mdp.39015021014827	Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	Wharton?"
mdp.39015021014827	What about you?"
mdp.39015021014827	What about yours and the other servants'?"
mdp.39015021014827	What did he say when he left?"
mdp.39015021014827	What did he tell you?"
mdp.39015021014827	What did you do?"
mdp.39015021014827	What does the average man know of aconitine — the poison used in two of the murders?
mdp.39015021014827	What had that long stare in the direction of Redlands meant?
mdp.39015021014827	What has destroyed them?
mdp.39015021014827	What made you say that?"
mdp.39015021014827	What then?
mdp.39015021014827	What then?
mdp.39015021014827	What time did your uncle leave the Rectory?"
mdp.39015021014827	What was he doing at Stanmead?
mdp.39015021014827	What was it that had drawn him to Redlands that fateful night?
mdp.39015021014827	What was the danger which, according to Ravenhill, beset the girl?
mdp.39015021014827	What was the motive?
mdp.39015021014827	What would happen when he — Tom — returned to London?
mdp.39015021014827	What —?"
mdp.39015021014827	What —?"
mdp.39015021014827	What's her name?"
mdp.39015021014827	What's in that direction?"
mdp.39015021014827	What's the ghost yarn?"
mdp.39015021014827	What's this?"
mdp.39015021014827	What?
mdp.39015021014827	When did he die?"
mdp.39015021014827	When did you last see the Rector?"
mdp.39015021014827	When she did would she still stand by the priest?
mdp.39015021014827	Where are you going?"
mdp.39015021014827	Where did you go?
mdp.39015021014827	Where had she come from?
mdp.39015021014827	Where had the Rector left it?
mdp.39015021014827	Where was Raven- hill?
mdp.39015021014827	Where was Ravenhill?
mdp.39015021014827	Where's my aunt?"
mdp.39015021014827	Who else is there?"
mdp.39015021014827	Who is the woman referred to?"
mdp.39015021014827	Who was it?"
mdp.39015021014827	Who was the mys- terious Springfield whom Margery had visited that fate- ful night?
mdp.39015021014827	Who was the second one?
mdp.39015021014827	Who would n't be?
mdp.39015021014827	Why did Thomas go to Redlands?
mdp.39015021014827	Why did he go away?
mdp.39015021014827	Why did n't he do it that night?
mdp.39015021014827	Why did n't he go to the police station then, or warn the household?
mdp.39015021014827	Why did you go out last night, and where did you go?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why did you go to London?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why do you want to see my Uncle?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why had he sent for him?
mdp.39015021014827	Why is he doing that?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why should Hammett keep this?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why should anyone spy on them?
mdp.39015021014827	Why should n't I if it's not essen- tially wrong?
mdp.39015021014827	Why should you keep things from me, Margery?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why, what the"devil do you mean, Thomp- son?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why?
mdp.39015021014827	Why?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why?"
mdp.39015021014827	Why?"
mdp.39015021014827	Will you be here when I return?
mdp.39015021014827	Will you believe that?"
mdp.39015021014827	Will you do as I ask?
mdp.39015021014827	Will you go to your bedroom and listen?
mdp.39015021014827	Will you help me?"
mdp.39015021014827	Winter?"
mdp.39015021014827	Would a man who had committed murder clean his instrument?
mdp.39015021014827	Would you care to let us look after him?
mdp.39015021014827	Yet was it that?
mdp.39015021014827	Yet what could he do?
mdp.39015021014827	You are n't arter him, Mr. Service, be you?"
mdp.39015021014827	You are n't shielding any- one, so what should you fear?"
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't believe there's anything in what she says, do you?"
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't doubt that Jones was watching Thomas, do you?"
mdp.39015021014827	You do n't seem to realize that —""What?"
mdp.39015021014827	You know it?
mdp.39015021014827	You know that much, I suppose?"
mdp.39015021014827	You know who Hammett is, I suppose?
mdp.39015021014827	You remember that ghost scare at Redlands?"
mdp.39015021014827	You — you love Margery, do n't you?"
mdp.39015021014827	You'll scare someone if you —""What are you getting at?"
mdp.39015021014827	you are suggesting that Miss Whar- ton is involved in crime?
mdp.39015063546710	'Ow d'you know that?
mdp.39015063546710	A man's voice or a woman's?
mdp.39015063546710	Am I to do this now?
mdp.39015063546710	An'you reckon I'll tell you if so?
mdp.39015063546710	And if I tell you that I know dad is innocent — that it was I who committed the murder? mdp.39015063546710 And who else?"
mdp.39015063546710	And who might that be, pray?
mdp.39015063546710	And yet you love this girl? mdp.39015063546710 And you told Smiler what was in them?"
mdp.39015063546710	And you're sure that Solly was bad? mdp.39015063546710 Any of these stick in your mind — I mean any that specially interested Smiler?"
mdp.39015063546710	Anything fresh about Solly?
mdp.39015063546710	Are n't I in trouble enough? mdp.39015063546710 Are you delivering a lecture?"
mdp.39015063546710	Are you going down?
mdp.39015063546710	Bags of money, eh?
mdp.39015063546710	Been reading up how to do it, Bill?
mdp.39015063546710	Ca n't a man make a casual remark without being jumped at? mdp.39015063546710 Ca n't we?
mdp.39015063546710	Can I speak with you a moment, sir? mdp.39015063546710 Can I use the'phone?"
mdp.39015063546710	Carne? mdp.39015063546710 Come to what?"
mdp.39015063546710	Comfortable spot for a little reflection — what? mdp.39015063546710 Conscious?"
mdp.39015063546710	Could n't you have walked and let the driver stay? mdp.39015063546710 Did Mr. Silke know you were — friends?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did Smiler drive you to it?
mdp.39015063546710	Did she talk with you at all? mdp.39015063546710 Did these two seem friendly when you saw them?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did you come here about some murder?
mdp.39015063546710	Did you come here because dad was suspected? mdp.39015063546710 Did you ever run across one of the girls called Maud?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did you get his docket?
mdp.39015063546710	Did you get tired? mdp.39015063546710 Do you expect to be late to- night?"
mdp.39015063546710	Do you recall my asking you to check a plan?
mdp.39015063546710	Do you think it's too cold for them?
mdp.39015063546710	Do you think my father is a murderer?
mdp.39015063546710	Dorothy Silke? mdp.39015063546710 Fetch a glass of water, will you?"
mdp.39015063546710	Got any idea of the last time they were called for?
mdp.39015063546710	Had a nice trip, Bill?
mdp.39015063546710	Has he ever tried to do the dirty on you?
mdp.39015063546710	Has n't she been under constant observation? mdp.39015063546710 Have a good look at it and tell me if you've seen it before?"
mdp.39015063546710	Have you got something on him?
mdp.39015063546710	Have you had anything to eat? mdp.39015063546710 He blackmailed you?"
mdp.39015063546710	He did n't say what it was?
mdp.39015063546710	He was double- crossing you?
mdp.39015063546710	He was that sort, was he?
mdp.39015063546710	How came you to make up your mind about that so soon?
mdp.39015063546710	How can you say that they're mine? mdp.39015063546710 How could I guess, sir?
mdp.39015063546710	How d'you know that was written in my room?
mdp.39015063546710	How did she get poison?
mdp.39015063546710	How did you avoid bloodstains?
mdp.39015063546710	How did you come to know Smiler?
mdp.39015063546710	How did you get at that?
mdp.39015063546710	How did you get on to it?
mdp.39015063546710	How is Miss Silke?
mdp.39015063546710	How long ago did you first meet him?
mdp.39015063546710	How much did you get out of it?
mdp.39015063546710	How would you like to broadcast those senti- ments, Charlie? mdp.39015063546710 How's the sea air?
mdp.39015063546710	How's young Teddy? mdp.39015063546710 I bought another drink and he tried to pump me some more as to where the joint that I had CHAPTER XXII WHICH OF EIGHT?
mdp.39015063546710	I came to ask you if you knew a man named Carne — Smiler Carne?
mdp.39015063546710	I know, but where?
mdp.39015063546710	I passed you in Warden's Road?
mdp.39015063546710	I suppose Mr. Silke is n't up yet?
mdp.39015063546710	I suppose she was fully capable of realising what she was saying?
mdp.39015063546710	I suppose that was a bogus call to get me out? mdp.39015063546710 I wonder if I might have a complete set of these when you've had them photographed?
mdp.39015063546710	If she were awakened suddenly and asked some- thing, would it have any serious result?
mdp.39015063546710	In a way, yes,he admitted,"but your father""And did he make his money as a receiver of stolen goods?"
mdp.39015063546710	In fixing up this bust you got to know something about the servants at Langfield? mdp.39015063546710 Is everything all right, Mender?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is it serious? mdp.39015063546710 Is n't that a fair guess?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is that all?
mdp.39015063546710	Is there anything else?
mdp.39015063546710	Is this a bluff, sir? mdp.39015063546710 It does n't look as if you wrote it,"he admitted,"but perhaps you know who did?"
mdp.39015063546710	It's all pure hallucination, this idea of yours that you saw her with me,he said,"but suppose there was anything in it, what then?
mdp.39015063546710	Jack's all right, I suppose?
mdp.39015063546710	Know anything about this bird Smiler, Alf?
mdp.39015063546710	Left out?
mdp.39015063546710	Let me see, it's Mr. Rance, is n't it? mdp.39015063546710 May I see the cheque?"
mdp.39015063546710	Me? mdp.39015063546710 Meaning perhaps me?"
mdp.39015063546710	More threats?
mdp.39015063546710	Murder bag, Bill? mdp.39015063546710 None of'em were right'uns, eh?"
mdp.39015063546710	Nothing else you want to say?
mdp.39015063546710	Nothing fresh since I left the Yard?
mdp.39015063546710	Now is n't that like Solly?
mdp.39015063546710	Now what's all this?
mdp.39015063546710	Now, what can I do for you?
mdp.39015063546710	Oh, that's it? mdp.39015063546710 Perhaps,"suggested Dawkins,"he was n't quite sure of Silke — wasn't dead certain that he was playing the game, eh?"
mdp.39015063546710	Pretty fond of the girl, are you?
mdp.39015063546710	Pretty thick, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063546710	Say, Bill,he asked,"it was you who sent up just now for the docket of Solomon Engles, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063546710	See what that is, Mender? mdp.39015063546710 Shall I tell you what you did n't say, Solly?
mdp.39015063546710	Shall we go up?
mdp.39015063546710	She has confessed?
mdp.39015063546710	She was with him in his bedroom?
mdp.39015063546710	So you think that they're gone for good, do 164 THE THOUSANDTH CASE you?
mdp.39015063546710	Stolen?
mdp.39015063546710	Strike me lucky, guv'nor, you do n't think I'm'oldin'nuthin'back?
mdp.39015063546710	Talking of finger- prints,broke in Pallin,"was there anything on which a mark might have been left?"
mdp.39015063546710	Tell you anything — this?
mdp.39015063546710	That Mr. Dawkins? mdp.39015063546710 That girl coughed up anything?"
mdp.39015063546710	That means a Scotland Yard detective, does n't it?
mdp.39015063546710	That the Crime Index? mdp.39015063546710 Then there is something new?"
mdp.39015063546710	Then you are the only person who knows?
mdp.39015063546710	Then you have never paid any money to him?
mdp.39015063546710	There is nothing on record at the Yard for which you are still wanted?
mdp.39015063546710	There was some bother?
mdp.39015063546710	They do not suspect my father at Scotland Yard?
mdp.39015063546710	Things promising, eh?
mdp.39015063546710	Think he's the man?
mdp.39015063546710	Tried photography?
mdp.39015063546710	Trying to put an alibi across me beforehand, Andy? mdp.39015063546710 Unable to move?"
mdp.39015063546710	Want me? mdp.39015063546710 Wanted you to keep an eye on Silke, did he?
mdp.39015063546710	Wants to see me, does he?
mdp.39015063546710	Was Miss Silke dressed then?
mdp.39015063546710	Was St. Clair always alone when you met him? mdp.39015063546710 Was he, though?
mdp.39015063546710	Well, I'm asking you: What would you do?
mdp.39015063546710	Well, if he wants to see me he can come along, ca n't he? mdp.39015063546710 Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015063546710	Well?
mdp.39015063546710	Well?
mdp.39015063546710	What are you after?
mdp.39015063546710	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063546710	What business— she stressed the word deli- cately —"can you have with dad?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do you know about speed? mdp.39015063546710 What do you think of it?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do you think yourself?
mdp.39015063546710	What does Dorothy think about this?
mdp.39015063546710	What does this mean? mdp.39015063546710 What is the name of this other fellow?"
mdp.39015063546710	What is the trouble?
mdp.39015063546710	What on earth were you afraid of? mdp.39015063546710 What the devil do you mean by it?
mdp.39015063546710	What time was that?
mdp.39015063546710	What's all this abaht?
mdp.39015063546710	What's somebody been doing there?
mdp.39015063546710	What's the agony now?
mdp.39015063546710	What's the difficulty, Bill? mdp.39015063546710 What's the game?"
mdp.39015063546710	What's the game?
mdp.39015063546710	What's the meaning of this?
mdp.39015063546710	What?
mdp.39015063546710	When did this come?
mdp.39015063546710	When you find Silke, what are you going to do?
mdp.39015063546710	Where have you sprung from, Jack? mdp.39015063546710 Where would the reputation of the Yard be without these writer blokes?
mdp.39015063546710	Where's old Bill? mdp.39015063546710 Where's your pistol?"
mdp.39015063546710	Who are you to come a- orderin'a poor harmless bloke like me abaht? mdp.39015063546710 Who had the other one?"
mdp.39015063546710	Who is fond of murder jobs, these days?
mdp.39015063546710	Who is in your house now? mdp.39015063546710 Who is it?"
mdp.39015063546710	Who the devil are you?
mdp.39015063546710	Why did n't you tell me abaht this before?
mdp.39015063546710	Why go and up- set the little pill- roller like that? mdp.39015063546710 Why should I help you?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why should they go to all this trouble and then let you out in that way, knowing you were certain to talk?
mdp.39015063546710	Why should you MAUD REFUSES TO TALK 165 talk about lawyers? mdp.39015063546710 Why the surprise?
mdp.39015063546710	Why waste so many words to say you wo n't do it?
mdp.39015063546710	Why, how did you know that? mdp.39015063546710 Why?
mdp.39015063546710	Why?
mdp.39015063546710	Will you be in your room in ten minutes'time?
mdp.39015063546710	Will you give me your word that, so far as you know, she had nothing more to do with last night's business either directly or indirectly? mdp.39015063546710 Wonder if that's a fluke?
mdp.39015063546710	Would there be any risk to her life?
mdp.39015063546710	Would you know him again?
mdp.39015063546710	Would you mind staying on a bit in case anything arises that I might want to ask you about? mdp.39015063546710 You ca n't guess what he meant?"
mdp.39015063546710	You have n't been overdoing it on this job, have you? mdp.39015063546710 You have n't come here because you believe I killed him, have you?"
mdp.39015063546710	You knew that Solly Engles — an old friend of yours — was living at Twyton under another name?
mdp.39015063546710	You noticed nothing special anywhere, I sup- pose? mdp.39015063546710 You still believe that Silke is the murderer?"
mdp.39015063546710	You think matters could be worse for me, do you?
mdp.39015063546710	You think you've got the evidence?
mdp.39015063546710	You were fond of him?
mdp.39015063546710	You wo n't act hastily, sir?
mdp.39015063546710	You'd know him again?
mdp.39015063546710	You'd marry me still, although I'm a criminal's daughter, and even though— her voice dropped —"the very worst happened?"
mdp.39015063546710	You're very fond of Arthur, are n't you? mdp.39015063546710 You've got the King's Medal already, Bill, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063546710	You've never had to threaten him, by any chance?
mdp.39015063546710	You've not seen anyone going into or leaving that house?
mdp.39015063546710	''Any family?"
mdp.39015063546710	'Course, I was a bit upset like an'not as perlite as I might'a'been, but I did what I could fer you — didn't I?
mdp.39015063546710	'Did you ask any questions of anyone, Mr. Dawkins?
mdp.39015063546710	'What do you want?
mdp.39015063546710	*'What do you know about this business, my dear?"
mdp.39015063546710	108 THE THOUSANDTH CASE"What did he say?"
mdp.39015063546710	234 THE THOUSANDTH CASE"My dear man"— the doctor was a little patron- ising —"why so portentous?
mdp.39015063546710	88 THE THOUSANDTH CASE"What do you know about this?
mdp.39015063546710	A while back somebody told me that they'd seen'i m out Twyton way, and...""Who was that?"
mdp.39015063546710	Ai n't it'ard enough for a man like me to try an'make a honest livin'?
mdp.39015063546710	All the rest is nothing — surmise, as you said THE MURDERER 275 like to tell us why you did all this — why you really fired that pistol just now?"
mdp.39015063546710	And Maud is in the game?
mdp.39015063546710	And she was in my car with me in War dell's Road less than an hour ago?
mdp.39015063546710	And talking MAUD REFUSES TO TALK 163 about other people, what about this girl Maud?
mdp.39015063546710	Anyone seen him lately?"
mdp.39015063546710	Anything wrong?"
mdp.39015063546710	Anyway, he asked himself, what could he do even if his hands were free?
mdp.39015063546710	Are you going home?
mdp.39015063546710	Are you sure that some of your people have n't dropped in and helped themselves?"
mdp.39015063546710	Be a funny thing if after all he had nothing to do with the murder, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063546710	Bill Smith's docket?
mdp.39015063546710	But I have known Silke and his daughter for a number of years, and if there is any- thing I can do?"
mdp.39015063546710	But suppose he's innocent?"
mdp.39015063546710	But why? — why?
mdp.39015063546710	But why? — why?
mdp.39015063546710	CHAPTER XVII WHO OPENED THE DOOR?
mdp.39015063546710	Ca n't a man have any peace in his own house?
mdp.39015063546710	Ca n't say you look very ill. What's the matter?"
mdp.39015063546710	Ca n't you see?
mdp.39015063546710	Can you arrange that?"
mdp.39015063546710	Can you come over at once?
mdp.39015063546710	Can you get that message round?
mdp.39015063546710	Can you guess the rest?"
mdp.39015063546710	Can you tell me what happened?"
mdp.39015063546710	Can you tell me what his condition was then?"
mdp.39015063546710	Carne?"
mdp.39015063546710	Clair?"
mdp.39015063546710	D'you think a man like Solly — with'is brains and experience — would do a thing like that?"
mdp.39015063546710	Dawkins?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did Solly mention her?
mdp.39015063546710	Did anyone call after Mr. Rance had gone?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did n't the matron search her?
mdp.39015063546710	Did n't you have Old Ugly in here last night, Bill?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did she have anything to do with the rest of the scheme?
mdp.39015063546710	Did you ever hear the old nursery rhyme, Jim:'Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make a great detective, fit to beat the band'?
mdp.39015063546710	Did you ever see any men hanging on to her except Smiler?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did you want to knock off for lunch that you've come back to tell me this and left him to his own devices?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did you want to use the telephone?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did you work that out for me?"
mdp.39015063546710	Did you — by accident — at any time read any of Mr. Silke's correspondence?"
mdp.39015063546710	Do I understand that this man was killed by the first shot, and that the others were fired after he was dead?"
mdp.39015063546710	Do n't suppose you recall a fellow named Richard Carne DILL DAWEINS GETS A JOB 21 who we had in the department eight or ten years ago?
mdp.39015063546710	Do n't you know that a detective must never question anybody?
mdp.39015063546710	Do n't you think you'd better trust me before you get yourself into a real bad tangle?"
mdp.39015063546710	Do you THE THOUSANDTH CASE suggest that the girl had thoughts of marrying a policeman?"
mdp.39015063546710	Do you know the law about anyone who comforts, aids, or abets a felon in eluding justice?"
mdp.39015063546710	Do you know what they are?
mdp.39015063546710	Do you know what you're running yourself into?
mdp.39015063546710	Do you suspect me of some crime?"
mdp.39015063546710	Does it give you any change of heart?"
mdp.39015063546710	Does n't that convey anything to you?
mdp.39015063546710	Find out where he went, who his visitors were, and perhaps have a look at some of his letters?"
mdp.39015063546710	For instance, have you ever seen that man?"
mdp.39015063546710	Got a good watch on you?
mdp.39015063546710	Got that?
mdp.39015063546710	Had he really failed?
mdp.39015063546710	Had he, in some wild and distracted instant, destroyed it with the idea that its suppression would help the father of the girl of whom he was so fond?
mdp.39015063546710	Had it, by any chance, something to do with Solly Engles?"
mdp.39015063546710	Had those notes you told me you were going to enquire about anything to do with a murder?"
mdp.39015063546710	Has anything fresh cropped up?"
mdp.39015063546710	Has it only just come to you?"
mdp.39015063546710	Have I got to put up with this indignity merely because of something Rance fancies?"
mdp.39015063546710	Have n't we had enough of this?
mdp.39015063546710	Have you done anything wrong?"
mdp.39015063546710	Have you heard anything from them, Coll?"
mdp.39015063546710	Have you seen the papers to- night?
mdp.39015063546710	He was n't shamming?"
mdp.39015063546710	How bad is she?
mdp.39015063546710	How came it that someone was waiting to lay you out when you left the house?
mdp.39015063546710	How could I know which avenue of enquiry was the most important?
mdp.39015063546710	How dare you?
mdp.39015063546710	How did she communi- cate with Solly, as she must have done if he expected you here, without us knowing something about it?"
mdp.39015063546710	How far is this house from the place where the body was found?"
mdp.39015063546710	How long have you been with them?"
mdp.39015063546710	How'd we know that they all came back?
mdp.39015063546710	How's things?
mdp.39015063546710	I ai n't the sort of man that'd do a feller in — am I?"
mdp.39015063546710	I do n't know if you will be calling in any of the Home Office medical experts?"
mdp.39015063546710	I do n't know what has been raked up against me since, but with my bare word — the word of an old crook — against that, where would I be?
mdp.39015063546710	I have n't said anything, have I?"
mdp.39015063546710	I proved I did n't'ave nuthin'to do with croakin'Smiler Carne — didn't I?
mdp.39015063546710	I suppose they sleep on the top floor?"
mdp.39015063546710	I suppose you're wondering why I've gone to this trouble with you?"
mdp.39015063546710	I want to know where Miss Silke is and where she was being taken by you?"
mdp.39015063546710	I'd'a'got a bit of my own back both ways — see?
mdp.39015063546710	I'm going to pay you well for this, but if you can find the man there will be something extra — under- stand?
mdp.39015063546710	If Solly is there and leaves the house by car, what can Rance do alone?
mdp.39015063546710	If you'd hold something back to protect someone, is n't it possible that you might have gone a step farther and des- troyed something?
mdp.39015063546710	If you're known to have suppressed other facts, who will believe you when you deny all knowledge of the docket?
mdp.39015063546710	In the first place I want to know if you have put in any written report of our little conversation the other day?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is he likely to recover?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is n't it a shame?
mdp.39015063546710	Is n't that young nephew of mine in this sub- division?
mdp.39015063546710	Is she in love with you?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is that enough?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is that plain enough?"
mdp.39015063546710	Is there any special point you want?"
mdp.39015063546710	Let's see — which is his room?"
mdp.39015063546710	Lunch disagreed with you, Charlie?"
mdp.39015063546710	Now do you see why this affair has shaken me?"
mdp.39015063546710	Now how do you account for that?
mdp.39015063546710	Now what was it you wanted to tell me about this bit of paper?"
mdp.39015063546710	Now where are those servants?"
mdp.39015063546710	Now you're perfectly sure that you heard no sound after you went to bed last night?
mdp.39015063546710	Now you've had time to think it over, ca n't you remember anything about last night?
mdp.39015063546710	Perhaps something has happened since?"
mdp.39015063546710	Pretty solid for a wine cellar, eh?
mdp.39015063546710	Probably about ten or a little later?"
mdp.39015063546710	RANCE GETS A SURPRISE 235"What's the number of your car?"
mdp.39015063546710	Rance?"
mdp.39015063546710	Rance?"
mdp.39015063546710	Rather than what?
mdp.39015063546710	Remember Old Ugly, who did seven years, and Tiny who went down for five?
mdp.39015063546710	Remember that round- up of crooks in the Enfield murder case?
mdp.39015063546710	Remember us talking about Solly Engles the other day?
mdp.39015063546710	SUke?"
mdp.39015063546710	Say, Mr. Dorkins, did yer ever know Solly pull a job that way?
mdp.39015063546710	See?"
mdp.39015063546710	Send him a bunch along during the day, will you, Mr. Mount?
mdp.39015063546710	Shall I fetch him one across the jaw?"
mdp.39015063546710	Silke?"
mdp.39015063546710	Silke?"
mdp.39015063546710	Silke?"
mdp.39015063546710	So if the idea was to lose the car and make a bolt, why should they have given themselves that added trouble?
mdp.39015063546710	Somebody sent that to Smiler, I s'pose?
mdp.39015063546710	Suppose he had turned her down, or that she had become jealous?
mdp.39015063546710	Suppose that the doctor's wrong about the time?
mdp.39015063546710	Suppose, though, that she's mistaken — that this happened the night before the murder and not on the night that Smiler was killed?
mdp.39015063546710	THE THOUSANDTH CASE"What was done?
mdp.39015063546710	Tell me, was that wire meant for me to see?"
mdp.39015063546710	That's what's biting you, is it?
mdp.39015063546710	The murder?"
mdp.39015063546710	Then ask her if he committed the murder and if not who did?
mdp.39015063546710	There was no possibility now WHO OPENED THE DOOR?
mdp.39015063546710	Told'em you were among the suburban nobs down Twyton way, did n't you?
mdp.39015063546710	WHICH OF EIGHT?
mdp.39015063546710	Want a map?
mdp.39015063546710	Was that the only time you saw her during the night?"
mdp.39015063546710	Was your pledge to Solly to have been in any way concerned with her?"
mdp.39015063546710	We must let Miss Silke know that you're ill. Where can we find her?"
mdp.39015063546710	We shall find out if you're hiding anything and then it would look rather funny, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063546710	Whaffor?"
mdp.39015063546710	What I want to know is whether she's likely to die before I get over?
mdp.39015063546710	What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063546710	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063546710	What chance had we got of entering them up when he wanted them within five minutes?
mdp.39015063546710	What did he suspect?
mdp.39015063546710	What did she say?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do they pay you a week — thirty pieces of silver?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do you make of this business?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do you think — as man to man?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do you want me to do — resign from the service?"
mdp.39015063546710	What do you want to see him about?"
mdp.39015063546710	What good could silence do Dorothy now?
mdp.39015063546710	What have you left out?"
mdp.39015063546710	What is he — a tradesman?"
mdp.39015063546710	What is he?"
mdp.39015063546710	What is it?"
mdp.39015063546710	What kind of proof have you got against me?"
mdp.39015063546710	What names shall I say?"
mdp.39015063546710	What right have you to ask me questions in this fashion?"
mdp.39015063546710	What sensible man could doubt?
mdp.39015063546710	What time did you leave this house last night?"
mdp.39015063546710	What was Old Ugly doing with Smiler on the verge of the golf course where the murder had happened?
mdp.39015063546710	What was he like?"
mdp.39015063546710	What was it you said you wanted to see me about?"
mdp.39015063546710	What was the name of the other young fellow you spoke of?"
mdp.39015063546710	What would you do if — this is only supposing — I told you where he was?
mdp.39015063546710	What would you do, supposing I took you to Miss Silke — which, of course, I ca n't, as I do n't know where she is?
mdp.39015063546710	What's gone wrong, sir?"
mdp.39015063546710	What's next?"
mdp.39015063546710	What's the idea?
mdp.39015063546710	What's the stunt?"
mdp.39015063546710	What's your view of this confession, Jack?
mdp.39015063546710	What, he wondered, was at the back of the other's mind?
mdp.39015063546710	When Solly wrote that down he was helping to put a rope round his own neck Here, what the devil's this?"
mdp.39015063546710	When could she have committed the murder?"
mdp.39015063546710	When did you come round before that?"
mdp.39015063546710	When did you see him last?"
mdp.39015063546710	When were you last along this road?"
mdp.39015063546710	Where are those boys who found the body?"
mdp.39015063546710	Where are you off to and where have you come from?
mdp.39015063546710	Where do you live?"
mdp.39015063546710	Where's Miss Silke?"
mdp.39015063546710	Which of Eight?
mdp.39015063546710	Who Opened the Door?
mdp.39015063546710	Who asked you to send that wire?"
mdp.39015063546710	Who else had a reason, as well as an THE MISSING DOCKET 121 opportunity, for getting rid of the record?
mdp.39015063546710	Who is he?
mdp.39015063546710	Who told you to do that?"
mdp.39015063546710	Who's to pay us for stopping, with the master and Miss Dorothy away?"
mdp.39015063546710	Who, any- way, was the writer of the letter?
mdp.39015063546710	Who?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why did n't you mention Tiny before?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why did n't you tell me of this before?
mdp.39015063546710	Why drag in Old Ugly?
mdp.39015063546710	Why had he been so far from his usual haunts?
mdp.39015063546710	Why had he so carefully refrained from mentioning this meeting when he had been questioned at Scotland Yard?
mdp.39015063546710	Why has n't he been to see her since the murder?
mdp.39015063546710	Why not face it out, then?
mdp.39015063546710	Why otherwise should Hickling take this attitude?
mdp.39015063546710	Why say anything about Dorothy, at any rate now?
mdp.39015063546710	Why should I leave out anything?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why should Solly burn a continental time- table?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why should she have been carrying poison, and why should she use it when she found herself at the police station?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why this loaf in these strenuous times, Bill?"
mdp.39015063546710	Why, as she admitted, has their recent communication been by'phone?
mdp.39015063546710	Why, how do I know that he did n't get someone else to do Smiler in?
mdp.39015063546710	Why, if you want another one, should she have helped in the plot to get you out of the way?
mdp.39015063546710	Why, you young fool, why did n't you promise to do anything they said?
mdp.39015063546710	Will you get out and come somewhere where we can talk quietly?"
mdp.39015063546710	Wonder if there's any news to- night?"
mdp.39015063546710	Would he really dare when it came to the point?
mdp.39015063546710	Would you go into the box and testify against me?"
mdp.39015063546710	Would you like a cup of tea or something?"
mdp.39015063546710	Would you like to make a statement?"
mdp.39015063546710	Would you like to wait downstairs?"
mdp.39015063546710	Would you, in your position, be willing to take a risk to spare her and to save an innocent man?"
mdp.39015063546710	Y'see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063546710	Yet he found it hard to confess that she had been WHO OPENED THE DOOR?
mdp.39015063546710	Yet how could they be wrong?
mdp.39015063546710	You all clearing off?"
mdp.39015063546710	You do n't think I'd be such a fool as to come here alone?"
mdp.39015063546710	You do n't want us to imagine you've anything to hide, do you?"
mdp.39015063546710	You know who I am?"
mdp.39015063546710	You remember that letter he wrote to Hickling?
mdp.39015063546710	You surely do n't think old Silke had anything to do with the murder?
mdp.39015063546710	You wo n't have any objection to making a copy for me, will you?"
mdp.39015063546710	You'll be needing a second one for yourself, of course?"
mdp.39015063546710	You're a plain- clothes policeman, are n't you?
mdp.39015063546710	Your room is directly over that of Mr. Silke, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063546710	asked WHICH OF EIGHT?
mdp.39015063546710	man, Mr. Silke?"
mdp.39015042858749	A bit of a puzzle, is n't it, Inspector? mdp.39015042858749 A hangin'job, eh? ” he remarked thoughtfully.
mdp.39015042858749	A matter of twj; elve months, is n't it?
mdp.39015042858749	After returning to your own compartment before the train reached Peterborough did you enter the cor- ridor again?
mdp.39015042858749	All correct, Shaw?
mdp.39015042858749	And her hat?
mdp.39015042858749	And the Maharajah's jewels are the bait?
mdp.39015042858749	And the next stop? ”She only pulls up once between York and King's Cross.
mdp.39015042858749	And the others?
mdp.39015042858749	And then what happened? ” his voice rumbled. mdp.39015042858749 And what can you tell me about this affair?"
mdp.39015042858749	And what did you find?
mdp.39015042858749	And what's your name?
mdp.39015042858749	And when d'you say all this happened, Sniffy?
mdp.39015042858749	And when had you last seen him alive?.
mdp.39015042858749	And where was your brother when he said good- bye to you?
mdp.39015042858749	And yet what?
mdp.39015042858749	Any idea who did it?
mdp.39015042858749	Anything else been moved?
mdp.39015042858749	Are n't you assuming a little too much? ” 176 THE MIDNIGHT MAILIn what way?"
mdp.39015042858749	Are n't you assuming a little too much? ” 176 THE MIDNIGHT MAILIn what way?"
mdp.39015042858749	Are you a detective? ”. mdp.39015042858749 Are you sure it was the same man? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	Are you sure?
mdp.39015042858749	Been doin'--er- a little business down in these parts? ” he asked sociably, stroking a great cat that had jumped on to his lap. mdp.39015042858749 Bit of a teaser, is n't it?
mdp.39015042858749	Blime, have n't you caught'em?
mdp.39015042858749	Briant told you that? ” he demanded. mdp.39015042858749 But did Miss Marsh say anything to you on the subject afterwards? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015042858749	But tell me what happened. ” “ Well, we just talked. ” “ For over an hour?
mdp.39015042858749	But that does n't alter the fact that the poor soul's been half murdered, does it? ” the woman answered with a touch of motherly fierceness. mdp.39015042858749 But why?
mdp.39015042858749	By the way, Mr. Bruce, can you tell me anything whatever about a tall thin red- headed man who may be associated with this affair in some way?
mdp.39015042858749	By train. ” “ How do you know?
mdp.39015042858749	Can a man not go where he pleases? ” “ Not always, and it depends what he does when he gets there.
mdp.39015042858749	Can you describe him at all? ”I only had one quick glance at him before he turned away.
mdp.39015042858749	Coppers got him?
mdp.39015042858749	Did I?
mdp.39015042858749	Did Ismay try to murder Enid Mulholland, In- spector?
mdp.39015042858749	Did n't I tell you to stop here? ” demanded the guard sternly. mdp.39015042858749 Did she say anything special? ” he demanded presently.
mdp.39015042858749	Did you ever hear of a Jew called Ikey Glockstein?
mdp.39015042858749	Did you happen to observe the postmark of that letter?
mdp.39015042858749	Did you know Sally Marsh? ” he asked abruptly. mdp.39015042858749 Did you notice anything peculiar about him then? ” “ Nothing,"she replied coldly.
mdp.39015042858749	Did you notice the colour of his eyes? ” Silver asked sharply. mdp.39015042858749 Did you see her on the train? ” he asked.
mdp.39015042858749	Did you see them leave there?.
mdp.39015042858749	Do n't you see if they got you now it would be the end of everything? ” Only for a moment a hint of seriousness over. mdp.39015042858749 Do you wonder? ” replied Chief Inspector Briant.
mdp.39015042858749	Exactly what was this disagreement about?
mdp.39015042858749	Foggy eh? ”And it's getting worse,"replied the policeman.
mdp.39015042858749	Had he friends who called here occasionally? ”. mdp.39015042858749 Had there ever been any sort of love affair be- tween those two?"
mdp.39015042858749	Harley Crossing, eh? mdp.39015042858749 Has she ever gone out in this way before? ” he asked.
mdp.39015042858749	Has there been any unpleasantness, any ill- feeling between your firm and this Oliver Foss? mdp.39015042858749 Have n't I told that other flattie all I know about it?"
mdp.39015042858749	Have you any idea what has happened to him?
mdp.39015042858749	Have you any idea who the letter was from?
mdp.39015042858749	Have you ever seen a piece of cord like that be- fore? ” he asked. mdp.39015042858749 He did n't give you the impression of being afraid in any way?"
mdp.39015042858749	He has n't many friends in this country, has he?
mdp.39015042858749	He has talked to you about his life in Australia, I suppose? ” A CABLE 125Sometimes.
mdp.39015042858749	Here? ” he said. mdp.39015042858749 How did Ikey come back to London??"
mdp.39015042858749	How did Ikey come back to London??
mdp.39015042858749	How did you know that?
mdp.39015042858749	How far from her compartment was the dining car?
mdp.39015042858749	How long have I been here?
mdp.39015042858749	How long have you been standing there?
mdp.39015042858749	How long have you known this man?
mdp.39015042858749	How should I know?
mdp.39015042858749	How tall was he?
mdp.39015042858749	How? ” he asked quickly. mdp.39015042858749 I like that hat, do n't you?"
mdp.39015042858749	I look an honest man like this, do n't I? ” he asked. mdp.39015042858749 I suppose nobody was seen leaving this house after the murder was committed, Pearson? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	I'm asking you, Bish, do you?
mdp.39015042858749	If you find anything out how will you let me know? ” asked the detective. mdp.39015042858749 Is Detective Inspector Silver about?
mdp.39015042858749	Is Miss Marsh at home? ” he began, facing a deli- cate task that was none to his liking. mdp.39015042858749 Is Miss Marsh's work entirely confined to your de- partment?"
mdp.39015042858749	Is anything missing from this room, Pearson? ” he asked suddenly. mdp.39015042858749 Is it all right to take her along to the ambulance now?"
mdp.39015042858749	Is that Miss Marsh? ” he was asking over the wire a few moments later. mdp.39015042858749 Is there a copper in London who would n't go on his knees to get the chance? ” Silver pitched his cigarette into the fire.
mdp.39015042858749	Is there any truth in his statement that the police were after him again?
mdp.39015042858749	It was n't unfastened while you were talking to her at Peterborough? ”. mdp.39015042858749 Just what is in your mind?"
mdp.39015042858749	Many a time. ”Has she ever said anything which has now been brought back to your memory by this outrage?"
mdp.39015042858749	Me? mdp.39015042858749 Meanwhile you will remain here, wo n't you? ” “ I certainly shall."
mdp.39015042858749	Miss Marsh, can I count on your help?
mdp.39015042858749	Mr. Edwin Clissold?
mdp.39015042858749	Mr. Silver, ” she went on suddenly,what is it that you think may have happened to my Sally?"
mdp.39015042858749	Not at all gruffly?
mdp.39015042858749	Not been reading the newspapers, maybe? ”. mdp.39015042858749 Nothing else you can tell me?
mdp.39015042858749	Now can I go?
mdp.39015042858749	ON SUSPICION? mdp.39015042858749 Off a man's coat, is n't it?"
mdp.39015042858749	Oh yes, now I come to think of it Foxy was one of that gang, was n't he?.
mdp.39015042858749	Queenie? mdp.39015042858749 Sally Marsh never had an'affair'with any man in this office, did she?"
mdp.39015042858749	Say, ai n't you handing out rather a raw deal?
mdp.39015042858749	See anybody? ” the man repeated. mdp.39015042858749 She has spoken to you about people in the office, of course??'
mdp.39015042858749	She has spoken to you about people in the office, of course??' mdp.39015042858749 She lives in London, then?"
mdp.39015042858749	She'd been with you a long time? ”Over two years."
mdp.39015042858749	She's not dying, then?
mdp.39015042858749	The man who got bumped off last Tuesday? mdp.39015042858749 The question is, ” put in Dale, “ do we bust up the organization, or do we carry on?"
mdp.39015042858749	There are exactly five men who know what our plans are, Colonel. ” “ And of those the Maharajah, I presume, is one?
mdp.39015042858749	There's nothing more for me to do, Mr. Briant, after I've finished his Highness — I mean the other his Highness? ”No, you can go then.
mdp.39015042858749	This place is a regular box of tricks, is n't it? ” he observed dryly, switching out the green light. mdp.39015042858749 Was n't that stupid of me?"
mdp.39015042858749	Was that suitcase in the bedroom all the luggage he ever had here?
mdp.39015042858749	Well, Silver, what news have you?.
mdp.39015042858749	Well, at least you know something about his busi- ness? ”I do n't.
mdp.39015042858749	Well, they can find out, see?
mdp.39015042858749	Well, well, ” said Ikey Glockstein, rubbing his hands together,quite a family party, eh?
mdp.39015042858749	Well, what about it? ” he demanded. mdp.39015042858749 What d'you suppose they've got in there, sir? ” he asked.
mdp.39015042858749	What do you mean?
mdp.39015042858749	What do you mean?.
mdp.39015042858749	What makes you ask that?
mdp.39015042858749	What makes you ask? ”I – I ca n't explain very well over the telephone, but I really have a particular reason for wanting to know."
mdp.39015042858749	What time do you figure the midnight mail passed that spot?
mdp.39015042858749	What's it all about?.
mdp.39015042858749	What's the matter? mdp.39015042858749 What's the news? ” The elderly man sniffed.
mdp.39015042858749	What's wrong?.
mdp.39015042858749	What's your trouble?
mdp.39015042858749	What's your trouble?
mdp.39015042858749	When did he take the room?
mdp.39015042858749	When did you last see Sally Marsh? ” Silver's words came ice cold and clear. mdp.39015042858749 When did you last see him? ”"Not since last Saturday.
mdp.39015042858749	When the second delivery of letters came this morning you brought them into this room?
mdp.39015042858749	Where am I? ”You are quite safe,"replied the Sister softly.
mdp.39015042858749	Where can that girl be? ” he went on more rap- idly. mdp.39015042858749 Where did you meet him?"
mdp.39015042858749	Where is Sally Marsh?
mdp.39015042858749	Where- where is she? ” he asked. mdp.39015042858749 Whereabouts in the river did this happen? ”"Just at the old houseboat Rose Mary.
mdp.39015042858749	Which of us would you like to arrest, Inspector? ” Bruce asked cheerfully, indicating a chair. mdp.39015042858749 White beard- fast asleep, eh? ”"He appeared to be."
mdp.39015042858749	Who attacked her? ”I ca n't answer that question, ” replied Silver.
mdp.39015042858749	Who gives Miss Marsh her private correspondence as a rule? ” “ Me, sir. ” “ Does she often receive letters at this office?
mdp.39015042858749	Who gives Miss Marsh her private correspondence as a rule? ” “ Me, sir. ” “ Does she often receive letters at this office?
mdp.39015042858749	Who is that? ” “ This is Lawrence Bruce.
mdp.39015042858749	Who took that off? ” he asked, glancing at a small hat which lay on the seat. mdp.39015042858749 Who's there? ” he called out, an odd metallic ring in his voice.
mdp.39015042858749	Why not? mdp.39015042858749 Why, it just occurred to me, but I suppose she did n't do it really. ”"Attempted suicide?"
mdp.39015042858749	Why, it was one night early this week, sir. ” “ What day?
mdp.39015042858749	Would you know him again?
mdp.39015042858749	Would you say definitely that it was the voice of an educated man? ” “ He talked like a toff, if that's what you mean,replied the caretaker.
mdp.39015042858749	Yes, but I do not think he would attack anyone. ”He never spoke of anyone having uttered a threat of physical violence against him? ”"Never."
mdp.39015042858749	You all right? ” he asked. mdp.39015042858749 You did n't get the impression that there was any- one about whom she might know?"
mdp.39015042858749	You do n't really mean that?
mdp.39015042858749	You do n't want to get your froat cut, do you? ” 90 THE MIDNIGHT MAIL A stolid policeman guarding the entrance saluted as Silver went in. mdp.39015042858749 You had better bear these facts in mind, ” said the detective, “ as they will be required in evidence. ” “ Evidence?"
mdp.39015042858749	You have not noticed any motor car loitering about?
mdp.39015042858749	You know, of course, that Foxy Hackett was one of his gang? ” said Silver. mdp.39015042858749 You looked through his belongings the first day he came here, did n't you?"
mdp.39015042858749	You mean Enid Mulholland?
mdp.39015042858749	You mean Monday, of course? ” he suggested. mdp.39015042858749 You mean you saw her in the dining coach? ” the detective suggested.
mdp.39015042858749	You remember thinking that Sally Marsh knew something? mdp.39015042858749 You were saying, Dale? ” came from the Spider encouragingly.
mdp.39015042858749	You're dead sure?
mdp.39015042858749	You've got her home address? ” he asked Bruce. mdp.39015042858749 ... News? mdp.39015042858749 121 122 THE MIDNIGHT MAIL “ And before that?

mdp.39015042858749	43, sign the registration book?"
mdp.39015042858749	80 THE MIDNIGHT MAIL think of anyone who might have committed the mur- der?
mdp.39015042858749	A booby trap?
mdp.39015042858749	A lemon?"
mdp.39015042858749	A moment afterwards, urged by some instinct which he could not have defined, Crump was at the door call- ing after the fellow: “ What's your name?"
mdp.39015042858749	A snappy ac- count rushed into print for the first edition. ”"Well, who did the train job? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	About how old would you say this man was? ” THE MAN WITH RED HAIR 103 VIC “ Between thirty and forty, maybe.
mdp.39015042858749	All alone? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	And seeing you're on that midnight mail business-what's that you say, sir?"
mdp.39015042858749	And while you were there did anyone walk along the corridor?"
mdp.39015042858749	And why had she been spirited away?
mdp.39015042858749	And why is she hiding it?
mdp.39015042858749	And why should he have done so?
mdp.39015042858749	And why?
mdp.39015042858749	Any trivial detail that has come back to you since then?
mdp.39015042858749	Are you sure you do n't remember in the least what he was talking about?
mdp.39015042858749	As I passed there- well, ca n't you understand?
mdp.39015042858749	As far as you know he might have gone straight back to his own compartment and remained there?"
mdp.39015042858749	Ask yourself, how could she? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	Because — well — this is n't quite an ordinary case — for you personally- is it?"
mdp.39015042858749	Before you parted in the dining saloon did you ask her to meet you again?"
mdp.39015042858749	Braintree?"
mdp.39015042858749	But Mr. Ismay was n't a big chap, was he, sir? ” Silver stroked the arm of his chair reflectively for a few seconds.
mdp.39015042858749	But are you sure? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	But do you believe that is how he came to be murdered?"
mdp.39015042858749	But on second thoughts, did it?
mdp.39015042858749	But what do you want to know for? ”"There's been an attempted murder.
mdp.39015042858749	But when they do learn of it I suppose you know what they will at once ask you?"
mdp.39015042858749	But why, why, why that sudden question of hers as to whether Ismay had tried to kill Enid Mulholland?
mdp.39015042858749	By the FRAGMENTARY CLUES 53 way,"he paused on his way to the door,"who do you know called'Nobby'? ” Bruce's expression was blank.
mdp.39015042858749	By the way,"he handed over the letter that had been propped up in front of him,"what do you make of that?"
mdp.39015042858749	CHAPTER XI THE MAN WITH RED HAIR"What about that Mulholland girl?
mdp.39015042858749	CHAPTER XXI A SECRET Colonel VenABLES, do you know a really nice bur- glar?
mdp.39015042858749	Ca n't you tell me now?"
mdp.39015042858749	Can you find anyone who knows her address?
mdp.39015042858749	Can you give me your word that you did n't kill that poor little swine Hackett?"
mdp.39015042858749	Can you think of anyone in any way acquainted with Ismay who might also have been travelling from the north on that train yesterday?"
mdp.39015042858749	Can you think of anything that has ever happened which now has special signifi- cance?
mdp.39015042858749	DANGER 39"Have you at the back of your mind any suspicion against anyone in connection with this tragedy?"
mdp.39015042858749	Did the train slow down anywhere be- tween Peterborough and King's Cross?
mdp.39015042858749	Did you happen to overhear anything of their conversation?"
mdp.39015042858749	Did you notice which door? ”"Course I did.
mdp.39015042858749	Do you remember how he hung on at Park Lane, almost certain to be caught, just to give us warning when the flatties were after us?
mdp.39015042858749	Does that suggest any possible explanation to you?"
mdp.39015042858749	Does — does this mean you still suspect that that I committed the crime?"
mdp.39015042858749	Elm? ” “ That's my name, sir, ” she said in a low voice.
mdp.39015042858749	Exactly how does he stand with her? ”"Irwin?
mdp.39015042858749	Exactly how does he stand with her? ”"Irwin?
mdp.39015042858749	For what purpose had Foxy Hackett dogged Ikey's footsteps as far as that house in Old Ship Steps?
mdp.39015042858749	Geel How do you guys figure he gets in and out of this place when he does n't use the door?"
mdp.39015042858749	Glockstein?"
mdp.39015042858749	Go on, please. ”"We've got a man here in custody on suspicion. ” “ Suspicion of what?"
mdp.39015042858749	Got any brain waves about it?"
mdp.39015042858749	Guard, at what time did you dis- cover this had happened?"
mdp.39015042858749	Had she many friends?"
mdp.39015042858749	Had she, after all, succeeded in leaving some signal that would act as a warning?
mdp.39015042858749	Have you ever been in the office of the Anglo- American Theatrical Syndicate? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	He would neither give his name nor state his business clearly but he seemed to want something here. ”"What sort of person was this?"
mdp.39015042858749	How did they manage that?
mdp.39015042858749	How much was hidden behind her expressionless ex- terior?
mdp.39015042858749	How should I?
mdp.39015042858749	How's that?"
mdp.39015042858749	How's things?
mdp.39015042858749	I do n't know any more than you do where she is, so how can I tell you? ” Silver shook his head slowly.
mdp.39015042858749	I do n't suppose he'd have stayed here so long though, only according to what I hear he met a girl. ”"Fell in love, eh?"
mdp.39015042858749	I do n't wish to alarm you unduly, but until that murderer is caught, ” he bit his lip,"there may be danger for others. ”"You mean?"
mdp.39015042858749	I had the compartment to my- self. ” “ And you promptly forgot all about her?"
mdp.39015042858749	I mean slow down so much that a man might try to jump off with- out breaking his darned neck? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	I mean, in view of what you think, her posi- tion is rather serious, is it not?
mdp.39015042858749	I never'eard a sound. ” “ Do you know whether anyone ever called to see him during the time he has been staying here? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	I say, ” she went on eagerly,"you do n't think he did it, do you? ”"Do you know anything against him? ”"No, I ca n't exactly say that I do.
mdp.39015042858749	I say, ” she went on eagerly,"you do n't think he did it, do you? ”"Do you know anything against him? ”"No, I ca n't exactly say that I do.
mdp.39015042858749	I see one or two weak points, but how about it?"
mdp.39015042858749	I tried to unfasten it, but my fingers were shaky so I whipped out a penknife and cut it. ” “ And then?"
mdp.39015042858749	I'm not much of a judge. ”""Was he a powerful sort of person?"
mdp.39015042858749	If Bruce had not intended to die from the explosion he spoke of, how would he be able to cause it and escape injury?
mdp.39015042858749	If I can possibly manage it I'll be at that res- taurant as agreed. ”"But what's this about the man with red hair?"
mdp.39015042858749	If Nobby had committed the murder, why had Oliver Foss dis- appeared off the face of the earth in such a strange fashion?
mdp.39015042858749	If so — he was standing in front of the window now — what object could there be in it?
mdp.39015042858749	If someone else connected with that ill- fated office were wiped out, would Josiah Crump still go to the movies?
mdp.39015042858749	If they're not here in four minutes I'll — What's that?
mdp.39015042858749	Inspector, who is this?"
mdp.39015042858749	Is he all right? ” Silver's eyes were narrowed as he hung up the re- ceiver.
mdp.39015042858749	Is it just a blind?
mdp.39015042858749	Is she still un- conscious?"
mdp.39015042858749	Is that so? ”"It was, ” replied Silver.
mdp.39015042858749	Is there any other man who has come here oc- casionally? ”"No, I'm sure of that. ” “ You and Miss Mulholland often used to chat, I suppose?"
mdp.39015042858749	Is there any other man who has come here oc- casionally? ”"No, I'm sure of that. ” “ You and Miss Mulholland often used to chat, I suppose?"
mdp.39015042858749	Is there any other point on which you feel curious before I pull this switch? ” Silver did not answer.
mdp.39015042858749	Just then Miss Marsh gave me a push in the back, sending me up the steps as much as to say I was n't wanted, see?"
mdp.39015042858749	May I ask what you want of the nice clean burglar?"
mdp.39015042858749	May I? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	Maybe I should n't have noticed it if I had n't had a chat with her myself, you see. ”"And then what happened? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	Miss Marsh, will you please see if Mr. Ismay is in his room?
mdp.39015042858749	Mr. Silver, you're wanted at the Black Cat, see?
mdp.39015042858749	Next?"
mdp.39015042858749	No news?"
mdp.39015042858749	No, I ca n't say there is. ” “ You'll swear that? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	Not a word. ” “ How long were they sitting together in the dining coach?"
mdp.39015042858749	Now I ask you in all seriousness, can you see our delicate- minded Duke strangling Foxy Hackett in a Battersea slum?"
mdp.39015042858749	Now what about the possibility of Silas Ismay having enemies? ” Bruce's fingers drummed on the arm of his chair.
mdp.39015042858749	Now would you mind asking Mr. Bruce if I can have a few minutes with him?"
mdp.39015042858749	Now, tell me, where were you at six o'clock last Tuesday evening?"
mdp.39015042858749	Or was it where an entirely new avenue of investigation must be opened up?
mdp.39015042858749	Or was there some other snag in this house of tricks?
mdp.39015042858749	Or what power would he have had to draw Sally Marsh away into utter obscurity?
mdp.39015042858749	Please tell me, is this one of the cards you have up your sleeve? ”"Well, yes.
mdp.39015042858749	Seemed to be waitin'for somebody who did n't turn up. ”"How did you know it was Hackett?"
mdp.39015042858749	She went straight to her desk. ” TIM'S REVELATION 155"And Miss Mulholland?"
mdp.39015042858749	Signs of col- lapse, and so forth. ”"Any chance of her pulling through?".
mdp.39015042858749	So you Yard sleuths after all had n't much chance of using the cord as a clue, had you?
mdp.39015042858749	Some lady here in York?"
mdp.39015042858749	Stolen property, eh?
mdp.39015042858749	THE MAN WITH RED HAIR 105"You have no idea what he was up to? ”"Not the slightest.
mdp.39015042858749	Tell me, Silver, do you really think some harm has come to this girl?"
mdp.39015042858749	Tell me, straight, how many rows of houses do you own in London?"
mdp.39015042858749	That's all I was concerned with. ”"I understand that Mr. Foss had no motor car?"
mdp.39015042858749	That's only to be expected, is n't it, human nature being what it is? ” “ Er- I guess so,"saiu!
mdp.39015042858749	The day we got married I promised you I'd cut all this out, did n't I?"
mdp.39015042858749	The dining car was the sixth coach from the engine. ”"When did you next see her?"
mdp.39015042858749	The girl seemed quite calm when she walked away? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	The midnight mail case?"
mdp.39015042858749	Then: “ What is it?"
mdp.39015042858749	There is the whole thing in a nutshell. ” “ This man Foss, then, is crooked?"
mdp.39015042858749	There was Miss Marsh, Miss Mulholland, and the man who was mur- dered. ”"Had you ever seen him before?"
mdp.39015042858749	Too much to bite off, see?
mdp.39015042858749	Under- stand?
mdp.39015042858749	Was Ismay given to sudden or violent impulses?"
mdp.39015042858749	Was it all a hoax, this unusual sort of rendezvous at an exclusive hotel?
mdp.39015042858749	Was it fear for her own safety?
mdp.39015042858749	Was that an omen?
mdp.39015042858749	Was that just loyalty on her part- loyalty to Enid Mulholland on account of her brother?
mdp.39015042858749	Was that true?
mdp.39015042858749	Was this a case of an eye for an eye?
mdp.39015042858749	Was this a red herring?
mdp.39015042858749	Was this all bluff?
mdp.39015042858749	Was this gigantic bluff?
mdp.39015042858749	Was this what you rang me up about? ” “ No.
mdp.39015042858749	Well, Spider, how are you?
mdp.39015042858749	Well, them clothes was brought here THE SIGN OF THE THREE BALLS 285"I s'pose there's no body been found? ” suggested Rosenbaum hopefully.
mdp.39015042858749	Were Nobby and Oliver Foss one and the same?
mdp.39015042858749	Were we cut off?"
mdp.39015042858749	What did he want?"
mdp.39015042858749	What did they think this was?
mdp.39015042858749	What do you make of it? ”"We have n't got much to work on yet,"replied Sil.
mdp.39015042858749	What do you think about it, Bish?"
mdp.39015042858749	What earthly motive could he have had for murdering an ex- convict in Battersea?
mdp.39015042858749	What had happened to bring a Scotland Yard official here?
mdp.39015042858749	What happened? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	What have you got to say about that?"
mdp.39015042858749	What is it?"
mdp.39015042858749	What is she hiding?
mdp.39015042858749	What is the idea lurking in the girl's mind?
mdp.39015042858749	What secrets were locked in that old man's brain?
mdp.39015042858749	What sort of a man was he?"
mdp.39015042858749	What time did this occur? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	What — what's the matter?"
mdp.39015042858749	What's his line?"
mdp.39015042858749	What's that?"
mdp.39015042858749	What's the matter, anyway? ”"Just fancied I heard a board creaking somewhere, ” said Joe Quirk in the accents of America.
mdp.39015042858749	What's wrong exactly?"
mdp.39015042858749	What's wrong?"
mdp.39015042858749	What's yours?"
mdp.39015042858749	What, my name?
mdp.39015042858749	When did you find the suit?"
mdp.39015042858749	Where did you and your brother spend those two hours while you were at Richmond? ”"In a little office at the back of his shop,"said the Jew glibly.
mdp.39015042858749	Where do you say you saw me?"
mdp.39015042858749	Where have you been? ”"This is ridic'lous,"protested Ikey.
mdp.39015042858749	Where is my handbag?
mdp.39015042858749	Where were you at six o'clock last Tuesday evening? ” The eyes of the detective were fixed relentlessly on those of the other man.
mdp.39015042858749	Where were you?"
mdp.39015042858749	Who murdered Foxy Hackett?"
mdp.39015042858749	Who unfas- tened it?
mdp.39015042858749	Who was in that room?
mdp.39015042858749	Who was it? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	Who's going to say what a man will do if he's driven hard?
mdp.39015042858749	Who, in your opinion, killed Silas Ismay?"
mdp.39015042858749	Why did n't you say that at first, anyway? ”"Findin's keepin's, is n't it?"
mdp.39015042858749	Why did n't you say that at first, anyway? ”"Findin's keepin's, is n't it?"
mdp.39015042858749	Why?
mdp.39015042858749	Why?"
mdp.39015042858749	Wo n't you please come in?"
mdp.39015042858749	Would they, he wondered, be putting on their hats to- morrow evening at this time?
mdp.39015042858749	Would they?
mdp.39015042858749	Would your Mr. Smith have clutched on to Ismay's throat long enough to cause death when all he really wanted was to save the girl?"
mdp.39015042858749	Yes, you heard me the first time.... Hello, is that Mr. Silver?
mdp.39015042858749	You and I are eliminated, eh? ”"Agreed,"said Jerry.
mdp.39015042858749	You do n't suppose I clocked'em in, do you?
mdp.39015042858749	You got a message from the police saying what has hap- pened? ” The woman winced visibly.

mdp.39015042858749	You opened the door leading from the cor- ridor?"
mdp.39015042858749	You probably do n't remember whether you flashed your light up at the window when you passed that time?"
mdp.39015042858749	You see my point?"

mdp.39015042858749	“ Any- body here yet? ”"There's several gents in the drawring room,"re- plied Queenie, pointing over her shoulder with a thumb.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Are you- are you so sure it was one of our crowd who strangled Hackett?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Asked to see any specimens of Foss's handwriting that were in our possession. ” “ Well?"

mdp.39015042858749	“ But will you promise to let me know as soon as she comes back?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ But you think she could n't know any more than you or me about this murder? ” said Silver.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Ca n't you detach the whole coach and put it into a siding?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Can you describe him?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Can you remember anything else about the letter?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Can you tell me if she had that compartment to herself all the way from York to London?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Colonel, why must I not go into partnership with the Spider, please?
mdp.39015042858749	“ D'you know the riverside, Sam?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ D'you remember last time you were here, about a week ago? ” The elderly man nodded and sniffed.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did Miss Marsh seem at all surprised or agitated when you handed it to her? ” “ I did n't notice, sir."
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did anybody hear what was said at that interview between him and Mr. Ismay a week ago in London?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did anybody see you with him?'
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did did he do that?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did he ever tell you why he made those trips to London? ”"No, but I suppose it was business.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did he go up to London frequently?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did he seem at all interested in the view from the window?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did she speak about it, or say anything?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did you ever hear Mr. Ismay express the fear of being murdered? ”"Never.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Did you see anybody pass this way?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Do you believe Nobby committed the murder?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Do you honestly believe Foss might have been guilty of this crime, Crump? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Do you know if anyone came here to see him be- tween eight and ten o'clock to- night? ”"Indeed I do n't.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Do you mean to say that someone else has had the confounded impudence to make per- sonal remarks about me?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Eh, eh, what's that? ” he jerked out.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Forgive me for asking, but were you two en- gaged?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ From a man or a woman, do you think? ” Tim's lips had opened.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Glockstein?
mdp.39015042858749	“ Got in first, did n't you, to make sure of an alibi?
mdp.39015042858749	“ Has he stayed in your house all that time?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Has she some friend who might be ill and sent for her? ” he asked.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Have you ever seen a really big explosion?
mdp.39015042858749	“ He did not even mention whether he had been to London?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ How can it help you?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ How did it happen?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ How long has he been in England?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ How long have you known her? ”"I never saw her in my life before."
mdp.39015042858749	“ How long was that before you raised the alarm? ” “ About twenty minutes."
mdp.39015042858749	“ How long were you there?".
mdp.39015042858749	“ I owe you something, do n't I?
mdp.39015042858749	“ I say, Silver, can you come round here at once?
mdp.39015042858749	“ I should never be so foolish again. ”"Where do you say you were this afternoon? ” “ I went to see my brother Abe.
mdp.39015042858749	“ I suppose it is n't fake stuff?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ I wish you'd see a doctor, Clissold. ”"What do I want to see a doctor for?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ I'd better men- tion him in my report. ”"Eh?
mdp.39015042858749	“ If nobody's been monkeying with things, where's her handbag? ” he asked.
mdp.39015042858749	“ If you try to move away now I'll have you arrested. ”"What's all this about? ” asked the passenger, visi- bly agitated.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Is 43 a front room?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Is she all right? ”"I did n't know the lady had anything to do with this office, ” replied the Inspector, “ but that simplifies mat- ters.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Is- is your friend still with you?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Last night?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Look me up again soon, will you?
mdp.39015042858749	“ May I ask if my name has been mentioned to you by — by anyone?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ May I ask what reason you have for expressing that opinion?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ May I inquire as to the details? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ May I see the letter, please?".
mdp.39015042858749	“ May I take all this to mean that you have some sort of idea who committed the murder on the train?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Maybe you have n't heard about Foxy? ” said Sam, stroking the cat's head.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Might I ask the name of that gentleman in York?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Miss Marsh, will you make me another promise?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ My question was, have you any suspicion?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ No, but there was something, was n't there?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Not longer?
mdp.39015042858749	“ Now tell me how long have you known this Enid Mulholland or whatever her name is?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Of what?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Say, do you think they're fixing up that police trap for to- morrow night?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Seen anybody hanging about? ” he asked sharply.
mdp.39015042858749	“ She has not mentioned anything to you lately about her friends or her private affairs which could have some bearing on this?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Sometimes, naturally. ”"Can you recall any comment she may have made concerning Silas Ismay?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ That letter- did you catch sight of the writing? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ That's getting a bit complicated, is n't it?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Then how on earth did he come to be murdered? ” asked the doctor.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Then where do I come in?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ They parted on good terms?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ They were warm friends? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ They've bolted. ”"But where's the caretaker and his wife?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Was there anybody else in that compartment who might corroborate your statement?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ We watched once, did n't we, Duke?
mdp.39015042858749	“ We're get- ting on to dangerous ground, are n't we?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Well, from the corridor could you see into the compartment where the girl was? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Well?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What about Ikey Glockstein?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What about Oliver Foss?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What about the American gentleman I saw here?
mdp.39015042858749	“ What about the Maharajah's jewels to- morrow night?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What about the man who was standing in the cor- ridor all the time? ” asked Collinson.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What are we going to do about this Hackett busi- ness, Spider? ” asked the man known as the Bishop.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What did you do?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What do you mean? ” The Chief Inspector blew a couple of smoke rings thoughtfully before answering.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What do you mean?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What do you mean?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What do you want?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What have they done with the body? ” Silver asked the station master.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What have you got here? ” he asked the officer in plain clothes.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What is it, Silver?
mdp.39015042858749	“ What makes you say the man in room 43 was elderly?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What part of Australia was he from? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What sort of a cove was the Sheeny?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What time was that? ”"About ten o'clock or a bit after."
mdp.39015042858749	“ What was he doing here? ” “ Sat in that corner over yonder by himself all after- noon.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What was she wearing?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What was the conversation about?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What was this man doing in the corridor?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's happened, Wilson? ”"I do n't know, sir,"replied the guard.
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's the matter with the thing?
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's the matter, Wilson?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's up, mate?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's wrong, Doctor?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's wrong?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's wrong?".
mdp.39015042858749	“ What's your trouble, Son? ”.
mdp.39015042858749	“ When did you first go through his suitcase? ” “ What d'you take me for?
mdp.39015042858749	“ When did you first go through his suitcase? ” “ What d'you take me for?
mdp.39015042858749	“ When was this? ” Sam repeated all he knew about the tragedy in Dudney Row, Battersea.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Where did that train come from?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Where was Mr. Ismay travelling from? ”"From York also,"said Bruce.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Where,"asked Silver,"is Sally Marsh?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Who handed it to her? ” “ The office boy, who came in here with the mail."
mdp.39015042858749	“ Who has gone out of this hotel within the last minute or so? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Who is Nobby? ” Guthrie asked, after reading it.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Who is he? ” Silver was looking closely at the swol- len face, and still wondering why Briant had sent him here.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Who murdered Silas Ismay? ” he asked incisively.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Who went with him?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Why not bundle the corpse out of the door while the train was rushing through the night and give the verisimilitude of suicide?
mdp.39015042858749	“ Why should he have confided in his landlady?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Why- why do you ask me?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Will you please explain?".
mdp.39015042858749	“ Will you please wait for a little while?
mdp.39015042858749	“ Witnes- ses?
mdp.39015042858749	“ Wo n't you tell me just why you came here?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Would you describe Mr. Foss as a particularly courageous man? ” The girl regarded Andy oddly before replying.
mdp.39015042858749	“ Would you recognize him again?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ Yes, yes, ” the sergeant interrupted, “ but what hap- pened?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ You know his name?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ You look ill. What's wrong?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ You mean he denies committing the crime?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ You mean, perhaps, after she had received a letter? ”"It's funny you saying that, sir.
mdp.39015042858749	“ You never know who's going to 84 THE MIDNIGHT MAIL"And there's nobody else you have reason to sus- pect, Crump?"
mdp.39015042858749	“ You'd asked me to let you know"“ What's the news?"
mdp.39015000688732	Ah, how's that?
mdp.39015000688732	And is that all? ” I asked. mdp.39015000688732 And to each other?"
mdp.39015000688732	And where is that? ” “ In London, he is an Englishman. ” “ Ah! ” he murmured with a strange intonation. mdp.39015000688732 And you absolutely insist upon working this mine alone? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015000688732	I was never called inhospitable, ” she commenced, “ but everything in such disorder — What time would you like to come? ” she suddenly asked. mdp.39015000688732 Just as I left it. ” “ What, not a window open nor a door unlocked?"
mdp.39015000688732	Mr. Harwell, did you hear the juryman? ” inquired the coroner. mdp.39015000688732 O ELEANORE! ” cried I, making my way into her presence with but little ceremony I fear, “ are you pre- pared for very good news?
mdp.39015000688732	Was the drawer locked? ” “ Yes, sir; but the key was not taken out.
mdp.39015000688732	What's that?' mdp.39015000688732 Who proposed that the body should be carried from the spot?"
mdp.39015000688732	You do not know the cause?
mdp.39015000688732	* And you still persist?"
mdp.39015000688732	* “ Last July. ” “ The other witness, the lady friend, where is she?"
mdp.39015000688732	113 ranty I had of this?
mdp.39015000688732	117 any one theme?
mdp.39015000688732	129 jewels, warm with his kissés, should be the thing they ac- cuse me of?
mdp.39015000688732	169 sessº I “ What is your own idea in regard to it?".
mdp.39015000688732	173 Eleanore the night of the murder?
mdp.39015000688732	205 “ Surprise?
mdp.39015000688732	215 “ What reason had I for thinking that letter was one of importance?
mdp.39015000688732	237 “ And he says that he has read a letter written to Mr. Leavenworth by Mr. Clavering? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	251 “ How many times has this person of whose name you do not appear to be certain, been to see Mary? ” “ Once."
mdp.39015000688732	269 “ Can you remember the color of her hair or eyes?"
mdp.39015000688732	283 “ To- morrow morning? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015000688732	291 “ Well, and how goes the day?"
mdp.39015000688732	303 in this town, no tramps, of whom a solitary woman like you might reasonably be afraid? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	335 I do n't complain, but what was it you said that you saw her take?
mdp.39015000688732	343"At what time do you look for him?"
mdp.39015000688732	351 stories of Love slaying dragons, and living in caves, and walking over burning ploughshares as if they were tufts of spring grass, did she? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	361 “ And you did not find her as angry as you expected? ”'I will not say that; she was angry enough.
mdp.39015000688732	365 “ But in so doing you will be involved in a world of deception — which you hate. ” “ Any more so than now?"
mdp.39015000688732	391 “ But is it?"
mdp.39015000688732	393 “ Must believe, then; that Hannah, the go- between, was acquainted with Mr. Clavering, and with his name? ” “ Undoubtedly."
mdp.39015000688732	437 “ did n't you know it?
mdp.39015000688732	6 When was it?"
mdp.39015000688732	81 ven “ Can not say?
mdp.39015000688732	A universal cry swept through the room, “ Is it loaded?"
mdp.39015000688732	A woman of truer judgment than myself would have said,"Then if that is so, why not discard from your breast, all thought of him?
mdp.39015000688732	And how came it to be found where it was? ” “ That, ” said he, “ is just what is left for us to learn."
mdp.39015000688732	And what did I hear?
mdp.39015000688732	And what has been the result?
mdp.39015000688732	And why, if he does, should you feel yourself obliged to gratify him in a whim so unreasonable? ” “ Why?
mdp.39015000688732	And why, if he does, should you feel yourself obliged to gratify him in a whim so unreasonable? ” “ Why?
mdp.39015000688732	And you? ” turning to Mr. Gryce; “ you have come to tell us we are wanted below, is it not so? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	And you? ” turning to Mr. Gryce; “ you have come to tell us we are wanted below, is it not so? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	Any family?"
mdp.39015000688732	Are you acquainted with any one is this town by the name of Belden? ” “ There is a widow Belden in town; I do n't know of any other."
mdp.39015000688732	Are you guiltless of any deeper wrong?
mdp.39015000688732	Are you innocent in this matter?
mdp.39015000688732	Are you so much surprised?
mdp.39015000688732	As for the doors and windows being locked, will you take the word of an Irish servant as infallible upon such a point as that?
mdp.39015000688732	As he did so, he whispered, “ What do you think.now?
mdp.39015000688732	At what hour did you miss her?"
mdp.39015000688732	Belden, ” cried I, “ where is this letter?
mdp.39015000688732	But did she not de- ceive us into believing she loved Charlie Somerville?
mdp.39015000688732	But first, ” she whispered, “ tell me for God's sake how those girls are situated?
mdp.39015000688732	But go on — what next? ” “ Why, next I followed up the clue, of course, by going to the Hoffman House and instituting inquiries.
mdp.39015000688732	But what can express the anxiety of the moment to me?
mdp.39015000688732	But what if she has?
mdp.39015000688732	But what might not the morrow bring?
mdp.39015000688732	But what orders sir?
mdp.39015000688732	But when did you get this word?"
mdp.39015000688732	But whilst doing so paused and suddenly exclaimed, “ What is the matter?
mdp.39015000688732	But why in the name of wonders do you ask? ” HANNAH.
mdp.39015000688732	But —"“ Wait, О wait, did Mary say that?"
mdp.39015000688732	By the way, what could that have been?"
mdp.39015000688732	Can even ask a lady to dance without blushing, eh? ” “ Well, ” I commenced- 150 THE LEAVENWORTH CASE.
mdp.39015000688732	Can it be possible that I am groping blindly about for facts which are al- ready in your possession?
mdp.39015000688732	Can you not make me comparatively happy, then, by assuring me that you have abandoned or will abandon a project so hope- less?"
mdp.39015000688732	Clavering holds no lesser connection to her than that. ” “ How have you found that out?"
mdp.39015000688732	Clavering is the man?
mdp.39015000688732	Clavering shy, and the Secretary unapproachable- how was I to gain any thing?
mdp.39015000688732	Clavering the murderer of Mr. Leavenworth?"
mdp.39015000688732	Clavering?"
mdp.39015000688732	Clavering?"
mdp.39015000688732	Could it be he meditated any decisive action?
mdp.39015000688732	Could it be that I had unconsciously been guilty of cherishing a latent dread of my senior's return?
mdp.39015000688732	Could it be that Mr. Harwell's fanciful conviction in regard to this man, had in any way influenced me to the detriment of my better judgment?
mdp.39015000688732	Could it be that the girl was indeed gone, and forever?
mdp.39015000688732	Did she come there?"
mdp.39015000688732	Did she hate as well as mistrust her cousin?
mdp.39015000688732	Did she never give you any information in regard to the transactions which led to her flight? ”"No, sir.
mdp.39015000688732	Did she wish to?
mdp.39015000688732	Did you do this as usual last even- ing?"
mdp.39015000688732	Did you ever know a woman who cleaned a pistol or who even knew the object or use of doing so?
mdp.39015000688732	Did you learn that, too, at the Hoffman House? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	Did you read that letter? ” “ I did; but hastily and with an agitated conscience.
mdp.39015000688732	Do n't I know?
mdp.39015000688732	Do you mean to say that since she has been with you she has learned to write?"

mdp.39015000688732	Do you wish for any further proof? ” “ The veriest doubter could ask for no more,"re- turned I.

mdp.39015000688732	Drawing me to one side she whispered, “ You think this Mr. Gryce very clever, do you not?"
mdp.39015000688732	Eleanore married, and to this man?
mdp.39015000688732	Eleanore stiffened im- mediately and drawing back pale and composed, turned upon her cousin with the remark, “ Then nothing can move you?"
mdp.39015000688732	Folded, sealed and then doubled up as if her body had rolled across it while alive?"
mdp.39015000688732	Great God, when did life ever look like that?

mdp.39015000688732	Gryce,"I here interposed, unable to endure this any longer; “ did you have an interview with Miss Mary Leavenworth this morning?"
mdp.39015000688732	HAVE you ever observed the effect of the sunlight bursting suddenly upon the earth from behind a mass of heavily surcharged clouds?

mdp.39015000688732	Has one little ray of moonlight found its way into your prison for a wee moment, with Mary's laugh and Mary's snowy silk and flashing diamonds?

mdp.39015000688732	Have you any reason to think oth- erwise?"
mdp.39015000688732	Have you got it? ”"No,"said she, “ I gave it to the girl yesterday; I have n't seen it since."

mdp.39015000688732	He has given me a possible clue"“ Wait, ” said Mr. Gryce; “ does he know this?
mdp.39015000688732	He said he would sooner see me buried. ” “ And you yielded?

mdp.39015000688732	Her eyes did not fall, but they filled with sudden terror, “ You heard? ” she whispered.
mdp.39015000688732	Her hair was brown, her eyes grey-"“ And very wide apart? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	Her look was enough without the low, “ Ah, how can you ask me? ” that followed it.

mdp.39015000688732	I could have told them, Eleanore never left her room last night. ” “ You could? ” What was I to think of this woman.
mdp.39015000688732	I cried in my joy and relief, “ did n't she under- stand me, then? ” The gay look on Mary's face turned to one of reckless scorn.
mdp.39015000688732	I do n't know any thing about it. ” “ Was she dismissed?"
mdp.39015000688732	I do, and O, sir, when you consider that he is her husband, is it not dreadful enough?"

mdp.39015000688732	I repeated,"why, because he is poor? ” “ No; uncle loves money, but not to such an extent as that.
mdp.39015000688732	I shook my head, convinced at last, but in another moment turned to him and whispered back, “ But if Han- nah did n't write it, who did?

mdp.39015000688732	Is there any thing in particular you would like to ask? ” “ I would like to know how Mary is, whether she is well and — and composed."
mdp.39015000688732	Is there no link of complicity between you two?
mdp.39015000688732	Is there no one I can send to your side; no woman friend nor relative?

mdp.39015000688732	what is the matter? ” But thrusting out one powerful hand he pushed me upwards.
mdp.39015000688732	when did you see her again? ” “ In a minute.
mdp.39015000688732	when?"
mdp.39015000688732	where?
mdp.39015000688732	where? ” “ Her own room, sir. ” “ Where situated?"
mdp.39015000688732	where? ” “ Her own room, sir. ” “ Where situated?"
mdp.39015000688732	why do you forget? ” “ I forget just how long after Mr. Harwell came up, I closed it. ” “ Was it more than ten minutes? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015000688732	why do you forget? ” “ I forget just how long after Mr. Harwell came up, I closed it. ” “ Was it more than ten minutes? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015000688732	with pistol grease, is certainly no proof that she herself was connected with this murder?"
mdp.39015000688732	would her determination to shield her cousin remain firm in the face of duty and at the call of probity?
mdp.39015000688732	“ A gentleman?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ After. ” “ Did you hear Mr. Harwell when he left the library and ascended to his room? ”* I did, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Ah, then you thought it was from Miss Leaven- worth? ” “ Why, yes, sir; what else was I to think, seeing that mark in the corner?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Ah, then you thought it was from Miss Leaven- worth? ” “ Why, yes, sir; what else was I to think, seeing that mark in the corner?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Ah,"said Mr. Gryce, looking towards the latter if not directly at him;"this is the deceased Mr. Stebbins'hired man, is it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ All I want is further time. ” “ You are then intending to make a personal business of this matter? ” “ I am."
mdp.39015000688732	“ All but the words. ” “ Do n't you perceive what has been lost by means of this trimming down? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ An appeal to make to me?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And I return home. ” “ There to wait for what, Mary?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And Mr. Clavering returned to the city after that? ” “ In another carriage and to another house."
mdp.39015000688732	“ And Mr. Gryce? ” “ He was at my side."
mdp.39015000688732	“ And afterwards? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And all this has not set you thinking?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And do you mean to say, ” cried I, “ that it was Eleanore who was speaking at that time?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And do you think he will come again?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And do you want to know what your duty is in that case?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And had she heard of Hannah's sudden death?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And how about the reward?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And how came you to see him?".
mdp.39015000688732	“ And how soon, ” inquired Mr. Gryce, “ may I expect to be allowed to take a hand in the game? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And liked it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And she has confessed? ” “ No; I have had no talk with her. ” Then as I per.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And so that is how your at- tention first came to be directed to this man?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And so the Prince has come for you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And that is?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And that the girl never went out?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And the marriage took place when?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And these are all the instructions you can give me?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And they are all gone?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And we can still go on? ” She held out the letter for reply.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And what makes you think I had n't?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And where did you go then? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And who may that be? ” “ Why who but Mr —,"I could get no further.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And why can you not?
mdp.39015000688732	“ And will she not tell your uncle? ” I gasped.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And yet you say that it produced an effect upon the family? ” “ I can see now that it did.
mdp.39015000688732	“ And you are going to make the arrest you speak of?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And you dropped it then?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And you heard no pistol shot?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And you never regarded the affair as worth your attention?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And you tell me that man is all right?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ And you will still let me come and tell you how bad I am,-that is, if I go on being bad, as I doubtless shall to the end of the chapter?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Another question; did you hear in what manner and at what time he procured a newspaper that evening?".
mdp.39015000688732	“ Any pistol on the floor or table? ” “ No, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Any reason to suppose that robbery had been at- tempted? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Any thing fresh?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Any thing in her hand? ” “ Not as I see. ” “ Did you miss any thing from the table? ” “ I never thought to look sir.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Any thing in her hand? ” “ Not as I see. ” “ Did you miss any thing from the table? ” “ I never thought to look sir.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Any thing in regard to the key which that man has doubtless told you, he saw me drop into the ashes?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Are you acquainted with the contents of that will? ” “ I am.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Are you sure of that?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ As soon as I am reasonably assured that I am upon the right tack. ” “ And what will it take to assure you of that? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ At all events the door was locked in the morning, and the key gone? ” “ Yes, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ At what hour?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ At what time?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Between him and whom?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ But I do n't see why the loss of that should be deemed a matter of any importance. ” “ Do n't you?
mdp.39015000688732	“ But I thought you were satisfied?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ But can not Mr. Harwell himself do all that is re- quisite?
mdp.39015000688732	“ But how?
mdp.39015000688732	“ But to live a good life would it be necessary to reveal the evil you had done?
mdp.39015000688732	“ But why to- morrow?'
mdp.39015000688732	“ But you did not seem to take it as such? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ But you knew it? ” Mary went on.
mdp.39015000688732	“ But you recollect how she looked? ” “ As well as if she was my own mother.
mdp.39015000688732	“ But you were in here this morning? ” said I.
mdp.39015000688732	“ But you, ” said I; “ how came you to know of it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Can any one look in my face and accuse me of guilt? ” Then as I sadly shook my head, she hurriedly gasped, “ You want further proof!"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Can you describe her?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Can you give no other reason?".
mdp.39015000688732	“ Can you tell us from what make of pistol that was delivered?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Come at once; Hannah Chester is found. ” “ Hannah found?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Consider her accurate in her relation of what took place here a year ago? ”"I do."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Could I stand here, seeing how things have turned out, if I had not?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Could n't a sheet like this have come from somewhere about the house?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Could n't you stop the carriage a moment while I direct it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Could she have done any better? ” he now asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Dead? ” “ Stone dead. ” “ Horrible! ” I exclaimed.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did I plan it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did I, Hannah, did I, poor girl? ” stroking the hand that lay in hers with what ap- peared to be genuine sorrow and regret.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did she come up to the room last night?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did she keep this?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did the lady receive a certificate?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you have a paper, Eleanore? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you have no expla- nation with her afterwards?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you hear nothing before you fell asleep?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you meet anybody on the way? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Hear any thing or see any thing unusual?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you meet anybody on the way? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Hear any thing or see any thing unusual?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you observe any thing unusual in her appear- ance?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you secure it as usual, last night? ” “ I did, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you see their faces? ” “ No, sir; not then.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you think to inquire, ” I asked at last,"if any one knew where Mr. Clavering had spent the evening of the murder?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you turn the key upon closing the drawer? ” “ I did. ” “ Take it out?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Did you turn the key upon closing the drawer? ” “ I did. ” “ Take it out?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you need to ask now,"whispered he in a low voice, “ where and from whom, this so- called confession comes?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you not know?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you re- member how Mrs. Leavenworth looked?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you realize to what this refusal is liable to subject you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you think he will come? ” “ Yes, sir; if he has to hobble on two sticks."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you think you did? ” “ Yes, I think I did.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do you very much want to know?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Do?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Doubled up?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Eleanore?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Eleanore?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Everyone in the house seemed to be on good terms with him?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Favor?
mdp.39015000688732	“ From London?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Good heavens! ” cried he, “ what's this? ” “ A dying confession, replied I, “ of the girl Hannah.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Great heaven! ” he cried with a start, “ not dead?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Had he valuable papers or secret sums of money in his possession? ” To all these inquiries she returned an equal negative.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Halloo! ” cried he, “ what is the matter?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Hannah had a letter! ” exclaimed we both, “ and in the mail? ” “ Yes; but it was not directed to her.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Harwell? ” he ejaculated easily.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Has he come from Eleanore?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Has the gentleman himself no proofs of this mar- riage? ” Mr. Clavering shook his head.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Have you any complaint to make?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Have you forgotten this is but an episode in the one great mystery we are sent here to unravel?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Have you telegraphed to Mr. Gryce? ” I asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Have you weighed this matter well?
mdp.39015000688732	“ He came to bring me the card of a gentleman who called. ” “ May I ask the name of the gentleman? ” “ The name on the card was Mr.
mdp.39015000688732	“ His death, then, must have been a great shock to um ome you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ His testimony at the inquest was honest you think?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Hold on; who knows but what I can do that for you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ How came she by it then?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How came you to know that Mr. Clavering was in this city last summer?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How came you to know?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How can I tell?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How could she?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How did you learn that?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How do I know?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How do you know? ” cried one of the jury.
mdp.39015000688732	“ How do you know?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ How kind you are, and what can I ever do to repay you?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How long did she stay there? ” “ She was gone when we came back. ” “ Gone from the table? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ How long did she stay there? ” “ She was gone when we came back. ” “ Gone from the table? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ How long has this shadow been observable? ” “ I can not say."
mdp.39015000688732	“ How long since?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ How much longer did you leave your door open after that?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How much more do you know?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How soon did you retire?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ How was he dressed?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ How was that?
mdp.39015000688732	“ How?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Humph! ” said he at the conclusion, “ he is evidently as much interested in you, as we in him, how's that?
mdp.39015000688732	“ I am. ” “ Now, was there any thing peculiar about this key, either in size or shape? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ I can give no other. ” “ When did you close it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ I can tell you no more in regard to it than my cousin has done. ” “ Do not know what made her so sad nights?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ I did; Henry Ritchie Clavering. ” “ Did you read the letter? ” I was trembling now.
mdp.39015000688732	“ I feel as though the very atmosphere of that house would destroy me, but- Why can not Eleanore come here? ” she suddenly inquired.
mdp.39015000688732	“ I have revealed nothing that I should have kept secret?".
mdp.39015000688732	“ I know nothing about the soil. ” What is it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ I will never turn you off. ” “ Not if I should do a dreadful thing?
mdp.39015000688732	“ I wish to inquire if every thing is as before in the house; the servants the same and — and other things?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ I, sir. ” “ How did you find it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ In his stand drawer? ” the coroner inquired.
mdp.39015000688732	“ In one room? ” Slowly.
mdp.39015000688732	“ In short, it is a large sheet, trimmed down to the size of commercial note? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ In what respect?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is Miss Leavenworth in?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is he not an Ameri- can?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is her first name Amy?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is it not my manifest duty to be governed by my uncle's wishes?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is n't that a proof of love?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is not this Mr. Raymond?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is the butler here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is there any particular reason for my doing so?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is there any thing or anybody that can? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Is your mind made up? ” I asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ It is not necessary for me to remind you that it is in con- fidence, is it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ It must have been some common burglar or desperado; can you not bring him, then, to justice?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ It was not. ” “ Are you certain?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ James Trueman Harwell. ” “ Your business?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Key?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Large enough and thick enough to contain this?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Last night. ” “ Did he stay long? ” “ About twenty minutes, I should say."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Let us hear what you propose doing? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Merely told you the fact without any explanation? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Miss Eleanore? ” he murmured.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Miss Leavenworth, when seated in your room are you in the habit of leaving your door open? ” A startled look at this, quickly suppressed.
mdp.39015000688732	“ More than one?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ More than twenty?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ My reason for denouncing the man I beheld before me, in the hall of Miss Leavenworth's house last night?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Near noon, I should judge. ” Was the pistol he was accustomed to keep there, in its place at that time? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ No other reason? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ No positive evidence as to his being the assassin of Mr. Leavenworth, I mean? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ No trickery about it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ No, but,"“ You believed it to have been spoken by Mary to Eleanore?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ No, sir. ” “ What did she do? ” “ She stayed by the library table. ” “ What doing? ” “ I could n't see; her back was to me."
mdp.39015000688732	“ No, sir. ” “ What did she do? ” “ She stayed by the library table. ” “ What doing? ” “ I could n't see; her back was to me."
mdp.39015000688732	“ No, sir; I had a feeling as if she was n't dark, and that is all I know. ” “ But you remember her face? ” 6 Yes, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ No? ” returned she; and her lip took a tremulous 96 THE LEAVENWORTH CASE.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Nor if you found him pleasant, to converse with him? ” ce 152 THE LEAVENWORTH CASE.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Nor see her come back?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Nor the extent of the feeling?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not Miss Mary? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Very well.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not a footstep in the hall? ” “ I might have heard a footstep. ” “ Did you? ” “ I can not swear I did."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not a footstep in the hall? ” “ I might have heard a footstep. ” “ Did you? ” “ I can not swear I did."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not as I knows on, sir. ” “ Is this it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not as hard?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not her room?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Not in the habit, no, sir. ”"Why did you leave it open last night?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Nothing more? ” “ I remember nothing more."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Now,"said I, “ tell me all you know of this frightful affair. ” “ All I know?
mdp.39015000688732	“ O then we need have no more trouble, need we? ” I glanced hastily up and down the room.
mdp.39015000688732	“ O! ” she cried, shrinking back,"you do not, can not doubt me too?
mdp.39015000688732	“ O, ” she cried shrinking, “ I have a spy in the house, have I?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Of course, did n't you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Oh,”I returned, a light breaking in upon me,"he has some connection with this case then? ” Mr. Gryce smoothed his coat- sleeve thoughtfully.
mdp.39015000688732	“ On the inside?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Once there?
mdp.39015000688732	“ One?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Only what occurred in the hall? ” “ Nothing occurred in the hall,"she remarked inno- cently.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Perhaps then, you can tell me who is the one most likely to be benefited by his death?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Rather chilly day, eh? ” “ Yes, ” I returned, eyeing him closely to see if he was in a communicative mood.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Rough road? ” “ Very; no horse I could get, would travel it faster than a walk."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Shall I not post it for you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ She did. ” “ Properly signed by the minister and witnesses? ” He bowed his head in assent.
mdp.39015000688732	“ She had a toothache, sir. ” “ O, a toothache; what then?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Since last night. ” “ What time last night? ” “ Troth, sir, and I do n't know.
mdp.39015000688732	“ So we have reason to think. ” “ When?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Soiled in this way? ” he went on.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Still think?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Tell us, if you please, if you saw any such thing in her hand. ” “ I?
mdp.39015000688732	“ That is Mr. Clavering,"I whispered, with all the self- possession I could muster, “ do you know him?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ That is because you are not Eleanore. ” Not having a reply for this, I said, “ And so your uncle did not regard your engagement with favor?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ That she gave orders, ” pursued the juryman, “ for the removal of the body into the further room?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ That what? ” There was no mistaking the fearful anxiety that prompted this question.
mdp.39015000688732	“ The fire?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ The gentleman?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ The library door. ” “ When?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ The papers, then?".
mdp.39015000688732	“ The usual members of the household? ” “ Yes, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ The whole affair is a mystery. ” “ A mystery? ” “ An utter mystery. ” Turning, I looked at my informant curiously.
mdp.39015000688732	“ The young ladies were attached to their uncle? ” THE PROBLEM.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Then she knew? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Then this letter does not supply the link you wanted?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Then why did n't she use it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Then you do not believe from what you have learned, that Mr. Clavering is the guilty party?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Then you think she is trying to conceal something?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Then, ” said Mr. Gryce with a glance at Q,"is n't there something here you can give Mr. Cook in payment for his story?
mdp.39015000688732	“ There is a Mrs. Darrell there; I do not know of any other change. ” “ Mary does not talk of going away? ” “ I think not."
mdp.39015000688732	“ There was then no one on the same floor with Mr Leavenworth? ” “ No, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ This letter? ” continued he, showing it to her.
mdp.39015000688732	“ This the lady who was married to Mr. Clavering, my good man?
mdp.39015000688732	“ This, sir; this handkerchief?
mdp.39015000688732	“ To- day?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Undoubtedly. ” “ One you speak to? ” “ O, yes; I talk to him, but it's little he says to me."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Upon retiring. ” “ Was that before or after the servants went up?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Want to know the truth?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Was it folded or open, when you first looked at it? ” “ Folded; fastened up in this envelope; ” showing it to him.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Was it in a candlestick? ” “ No, sir; loose like."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Was it not written in your presence? ” 15 226 THE LEAVENWORTH CASE.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Was it nothing but folly, Mary?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Was your uncle on ill terms with any one? ” was now asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Watched, circumscribed as she was, could she have done any better?
mdp.39015000688732	“ We have come to ask a favor, Mrs. Belden; but may we not come in?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Well! ” said I, “ what is the matter?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Well, Thomas, how long have you been employed in your present situation? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Well, well, ” said he, “ and what is it you want to know? ” “ I would first learn how your suspicions came to light on him at all.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Were there any evidences in the room that a struggle had taken place? ” “ No, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	“ Were you the only one in the house who knew any thing about it?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What are you doing? ” I asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What are you going to do? ” I asked, hurriedly ap- proaching.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What are you going to do? ” asked he.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What are you looking for? ” “ I am looking for the bit of paper from which I saw her take what I supposed to be a dose of medicine last night.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What day?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What do you mean?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What do you mean?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What do you mean? ” I cried: “ did you plan all this?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What do you mean? ” I cried: “ did you plan all this?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What does Miss Leavenworth say about it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What does it mean?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What door?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What has Eleanore been saying?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What has happened?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is it? ” cried Mr. Gryce;"what is the mat- ter? ” “ Why, ” said I, “ the fact is I have heard this very letter spoken of.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is it? ” cried Mr. Gryce;"what is the mat- ter? ” “ Why, ” said I, “ the fact is I have heard this very letter spoken of.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is that, the letter?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is that?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is the matter — what has occurred?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is the matter, sir?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is the news from home?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What is to pay? ” he cried.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What shall I do? ” cried I shrinking back.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What to do? ” Alas, I did not know.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What would you do? ” I murmured.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What, are you going? ” I said, “ and alone?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What, are you going? ” I said, “ and alone?
mdp.39015000688732	“ What,"said I, “ are you not yet satisfied of her innocence? ” “ O, yes; but one must be thorough.
mdp.39015000688732	“ What?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ What?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Where are these copies?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Where did this girl sleep? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Where did you find this pistol?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Where was Mr. Leavenworth lying when you first found him? ” “ He was not lying, sir.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Where were you when the ladies went away?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Where were you when you observed this fact?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Which one?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Who is that man?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Who is that? ” he cried.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Who says that I took a piece of paper from the table?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Who unfastened it this morning?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Who?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Whom did you leave in the room when you went out?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Whom your uncle will not allow you to marry?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Whose door?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why Miss Eleanore? ” a juryman here asked.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why did she take a candle?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why do you say a stranger?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why do you shake your head? ” asked Mr. Gryce.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why then did you take such pains to give her a dose of medicine last night? ” And Q entered from the rooin beyond.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why yes, I should say so. ” “ Look at the lines. ” “ What of them?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why, what else is there to think?
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why, ” said she, fushing painfully, “ I can not say: did n't you tell me?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Why? ” “ He has left the country. ” A short silence followed this.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Will it be too great an intrusion on my part, if I ven- ture to come in?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Wo n't you sit?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yes, in cipher. ” “ And have received a reply?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yes, sir. ” “ And that you obeyed her by helping to carry it in?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yes, that last evening she was here; we were together in the drawing- room. ” “ What did she tell?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yes. ” “ And is that all you see?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yes; the jury have just gone up stairs to view the body; would you like to follow them? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yesterday morning,"half choking over the words, “ And when did you take it to her room?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yet he was in the habit of drinking a full glass?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Yet nothing was said when you came in?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You ask me, Miss Leavenworth, upon the evidence given, what then?
mdp.39015000688732	“ You believe Mrs. Belden's story, do n't you?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You believe then,"said I, “ that your dream fore- shadowed the manner of the murder as well as the fact? ” “ I do."
mdp.39015000688732	“ You can, however, recall its general drift? ” “ It was some complaint in regard to the treatment re.
mdp.39015000688732	“ You expect me to answer,"exclaimed she, when I re- entered,"now in a moment?
mdp.39015000688732	“ You forced your way in; the door then was locked?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You know nothing of its secret history then? ” assu wn HENRY CLAVERING.
mdp.39015000688732	“ You know that? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015000688732	“ You live in this house alone, without fear? ” I asked, as Mrs. Belden, contrary to my desire, put another bit of cold chicken on my plate.
mdp.39015000688732	“ You never thought of this possibility, then, yourself?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You open Mr. Leavenworth's letters?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You say she was cheerful yesterday; was she so after receiving this letter?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You would then intimate that the face you saw in your dream and the face you saw in the hall last night, were the same?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You would, then, recognize this key, Miss Leaven- wurth, if you should see it?".
mdp.39015000688732	“ You, however, have never forgotten it? ”.
mdp.39015000688732	“ You, however, saw your uncle or your cousin during the course of it?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ You, however, staid by to see her read it? ” “ No, sir; I was in too much of a furry.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Your business, oh, as his secretary, I suppose? ” He gravely nodded.
mdp.39015000688732	“ Your cousin is coming down. ” “ Down here?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Your name, I am told, is Thomas Dougherty?"
mdp.39015000688732	“ Your name?"
mdp.39015000688732	” she cried,"you do not mean that she will be"“ Subject to arrest?
mdp.39015000688732	” “ Never, sir. ” “ And that no one has ever been here to see her? ” “ No one, sir."
mdp.39015000688732	” “ Think so?"
mdp.39015030045291	412 THE GOOSE MAN Herr Seelenfromm stopped Philippina on the street, and said to her: “ Well, how are you getting along?
mdp.39015030045291	? ” That was all.
mdp.39015030045291	A child was expected; who could reject the mother under these circumstances?
mdp.39015030045291	A loud cry from him startled her: “ What the devil are you doing? ” he exclaimed in a tone of immoderate anger.
mdp.39015030045291	A man who is under obligations to set an example for others?
mdp.39015030045291	A sinner?
mdp.39015030045291	A voluptuous light crept across Herr Carovius's face: here was defeat and despair, weeping and gnashing of teeth; what more could he wish?
mdp.39015030045291	After a long silence she said: “ I wonder whether it will be a boy or a girl, Gertrude's baby?
mdp.39015030045291	All these silly little people — wolves?
mdp.39015030045291	Am I to let him slam the door in my face because of his indebtedness to me?
mdp.39015030045291	And Eleanore?
mdp.39015030045291	And Jason Philip Schimmelweis?
mdp.39015030045291	And ask what I am thinking about?
mdp.39015030045291	And blood- thirsty?
mdp.39015030045291	And disappeared?
mdp.39015030045291	And do you know why he was in a position to wound you?
mdp.39015030045291	And doing it with the consciousness that this moment is the only one?
mdp.39015030045291	And even before that: Do you recall that I found that Fräulein Sylvia von Erfft had your complexion, your figure, your hair, and your hands?
mdp.39015030045291	And even before that: Do you remember the day of the wedding when you put the myrtle wreath on?
mdp.39015030045291	And finally, granting talent, how was the young man equipped in the matter of moral energy?
mdp.39015030045291	And for the time being?
mdp.39015030045291	And how?
mdp.39015030045291	And if I stay here, what will be clear?
mdp.39015030045291	And more than this: Who would take care of old Jor- dan if Philippina were discharged?
mdp.39015030045291	And must one bleed to death when it becomes clearer and clearer that those are not eternal laws against which war is being waged?
mdp.39015030045291	And passion?
mdp.39015030045291	And then?
mdp.39015030045291	And was the young man, after all, so sure of a genuine talent?
mdp.39015030045291	And were joy and sorrow, however intense, less perceptible when expressed through a concise, well ordered medium?
mdp.39015030045291	And were you not at the same time impatient with the angels who spread their wings about you as my geese spread theirs about me?
mdp.39015030045291	And what could he do now without her?
mdp.39015030045291	And what had he gained by all this altruism?
mdp.39015030045291	And where is your heart? ” cried Eleanore in despair.
mdp.39015030045291	And who knows?
mdp.39015030045291	And who was the woman between old Herold and the Frenchman?
mdp.39015030045291	And why should n't I?
mdp.39015030045291	And wolves?
mdp.39015030045291	And yet you say there are no wolves?
mdp.39015030045291	And yet you wish to play in public?
mdp.39015030045291	And yet, what was he to do?
mdp.39015030045291	And yet, why was she heart- sore?
mdp.39015030045291	And you, Eleanore, knew all about this?
mdp.39015030045291	And you, Marguerite, would you like to be so interesting? ” There was something distinctly annihilating in this air of superiority.
mdp.39015030045291	And you, Mother, took the child? ” He sat down at the table, and covered his face with his hands.
mdp.39015030045291	And you, you adopted the child?
mdp.39015030045291	And you? ” Agnes frowned, and was afraid to look into his face.
mdp.39015030045291	Anything very fine? ” He rubbed his hands, and stared stupidly from under his thin, red- dish lids.
mdp.39015030045291	Are any of the things that are sacred to you and to me sacred to them?
mdp.39015030045291	Are you afraid of me?
mdp.39015030045291	Are you not a bit sorry for the neat little halo that now hangs like a piece of castoff clothing on the bedpost of an adulteress?
mdp.39015030045291	Are you serious, Eleanore? ” Again she shook her head, amazed and indignant.
mdp.39015030045291	Art thou my world, and am I living in thee?
mdp.39015030045291	As he was mounting the organ- loft he met the organist, who laughed and said: “ I suppose you're looking for Daniel?
mdp.39015030045291	As soon as she had finished the first song, he looked up at her in unaffected embarrassment, and murmured: “ Who are you, any- how?
mdp.39015030045291	BUT ASIDE, WHO IS IT?
mdp.39015030045291	Benda then left the room slowly, BUT ASIDE, WHO IS IT?
mdp.39015030045291	Brother?
mdp.39015030045291	But could he not escape the terrors of such without having recourse to a woman?
mdp.39015030045291	But do you mean to tell me that an intelligent man must resort to such means to find peace with himself and his God?
mdp.39015030045291	But how did Herr Carovius feel?
mdp.39015030045291	But how?
mdp.39015030045291	But now?
mdp.39015030045291	But of what use is candour if it thrusts a knife into the heart of another merely in order to prepare an unblocked path for him who is candid?
mdp.39015030045291	But what could he do at home?
mdp.39015030045291	But what do you suppose?
mdp.39015030045291	But what of it?
mdp.39015030045291	But who can ever tell what the future may bring?
mdp.39015030045291	But who told you about it? ” “ The musician himself was in a restaurant.
mdp.39015030045291	But why did he hesitate?
mdp.39015030045291	But why had he never become rich?
mdp.39015030045291	But your truth is not my truth. ” “ No, Eleanore?
mdp.39015030045291	By the beard of the prophet, we are all right, are n’t we?
mdp.39015030045291	By the way, how do you like her, the angel?
mdp.39015030045291	By the way, what have you to say about the affair?
mdp.39015030045291	Ca n't I, sweetheart?
mdp.39015030045291	Ca n't you hear them howling day and night?
mdp.39015030045291	Ca n't you see them gritting their teeth at me?
mdp.39015030045291	Ca n't you see you are up- setting me? ” asked Daniel reproachfully.
mdp.39015030045291	Can she go over to Frau Hadebusch's, and take Agnes with her without getting any one's consent? ” Daniel made no reply.
mdp.39015030045291	Can they be moved the one- thousandth part of an inch by your distress or my distress or the distress of any human being?
mdp.39015030045291	Can we afford to keep her?
mdp.39015030045291	Can you imagine who is responsible?
mdp.39015030045291	Can you possibly say that they are kind or compassionate?
mdp.39015030045291	Capito?
mdp.39015030045291	Companion?
mdp.39015030045291	Companions?
mdp.39015030045291	Comprenez- vous? ” Eleanore looked into Alfons Diruf's smeary eyes with unspeak- able amazement.
mdp.39015030045291	Could Gertrude endure such a thought, even if she were as magnanimous as a saint?
mdp.39015030045291	Could any one say that he was displaying a spirit of greediness in his love for the classical?
mdp.39015030045291	Could he be expected to go to Philippina and give an account of himself?
mdp.39015030045291	Could she muzzle these wicked, slanderous tongues by referring to the peculiarities of Daniel's nature?
mdp.39015030045291	Could that produce happiness?
mdp.39015030045291	Daniel got up, stumbled over to the sofa, buried his face in his hands, and sighed: “ Do you feel it?
mdp.39015030045291	Daniel had been out of work for three months: who could explain his strange inactivity?
mdp.39015030045291	Daniel stopped, and said almost angrily: “ Are we bewitched, both of us?

mdp.39015030045291	Eleanore was surprised: what on earth could Herr Diruf want with her?
mdp.39015030045291	Eleanore's heart was heavy: she came very nearly asking, “ For whom, Daniel?

mdp.39015030045291	Good Lord, why cautious?
mdp.39015030045291	Had he become too old and infirm to make the public hungry for literary nourishment?
mdp.39015030045291	Had he considered that art was becoming more and more an idling place for the immature and the shipwrecked?
mdp.39015030045291	Had she not hoped and expected to hear a self- accusation from him that would make her forget all and forgive herself?

mdp.39015030045291	He became enraged: “ You do n't imagine that progress can be made by such amateurish efforts? ” he said with a roar.
mdp.39015030045291	He could almost have asked: And Eleanore?
mdp.39015030045291	He had to think for a long while: where was there such a person?
mdp.39015030045291	He hurried up to Jason Philip, and said in a cracked falsetto: “ How about the new publications?

mdp.39015030045291	He put the question to himself: What am I going to do?
mdp.39015030045291	He rejoiced and exclaimed: “ Oh world, art thou real?
mdp.39015030045291	He said to Philippina: “ Why is it that you object to my playing 37O THE GOOSE MAN once in a while with my little grand- daughter?
mdp.39015030045291	He suspected a trap: was she making fun of him, or did she wish to do him harm?
mdp.39015030045291	He unfolded it and saw, written in his own hand, the music to the “ Harzreise i m Winter. ” Under the notes were the words: But aside, who is it?

mdp.39015030045291	Suppose my peace of mind or something else of importance to the world, consolation, liberation, or improvement, depends on your going?

mdp.39015030045291	The court had in the meanwhile examined the silent woman with stern scrutiny: “ Where is Daniel Nothafft at present? ” asked Fräulein Saloma.

mdp.39015030045291	Then he was seized with the same fear that had come over Benda: Is our relation to each other the same?
mdp.39015030045291	Then he went up to Agnes, put his hand under her chin, lifted her head, and mur- mured: “ And you?

mdp.39015030045291	Was his heart already hungry, as she had predicted?
mdp.39015030045291	Was it because she was at last beginning to realise that she was unloved?
mdp.39015030045291	Was it merely the sight of her that aroused Jason Philip's wrath?
mdp.39015030045291	Was it the half- cowardly, half- cynical smile that played around her lips?
mdp.39015030045291	Was it the same medium through which he learned of the weakening of Marguerite's mind and the beclouding of her soul?
mdp.39015030045291	Was it this that told him of her mental anxiety and the ever growing delusion of her terrified and broken heart?
mdp.39015030045291	Was it to be his lot to stand without a gate of life that gave everything to the eyes and nothing to the hands?
mdp.39015030045291	Was not the whole of life, the rich contents of human existence, to be found in the beautiful vessel that had been proved long ago?
mdp.39015030045291	Was the feeling of Herr Carovius for Andreas Döderlein one of hatred?

mdp.39015030045291	Well, what does the Frenchman think about it? ” Eleanore answered her father's question in a half audible voice.
mdp.39015030045291	Well, what now?
mdp.39015030045291	Well? ” “ He is making something, ” continued Eleanore, “ that much is clear.
mdp.39015030045291	Were his advertisements with- out allurement, his baits without scent?
mdp.39015030045291	What are we to do then?
mdp.39015030045291	What are you going to do there?
mdp.39015030045291	What are you squeaking up at the gallery for?
mdp.39015030045291	What authority have you?
mdp.39015030045291	What could the desperado be planning?
mdp.39015030045291	What crime has he committed? ” Fräulein Saloma was indignant at the flippancy of her manner.
mdp.39015030045291	What d'ye think of that?
mdp.39015030045291	What did people say?
mdp.39015030045291	What difference does it make about you?
mdp.39015030045291	What do the annals from Andreas Pöderlein's nose for news have to report?
mdp.39015030045291	What do you mean by earths? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	What do you mean, Philippina? ” she exclaimed.
mdp.39015030045291	What do you mean?
mdp.39015030045291	What do you think of that? ” Theresa wrapped her hands in her apron, and looked at Jason Philip out of the corner of her eye.
mdp.39015030045291	What do you think? ” “ Good heavens, what's he doing?
mdp.39015030045291	What do you think? ” “ Good heavens, what's he doing?
mdp.39015030045291	What do you want now?
mdp.39015030045291	What does he mean?
mdp.39015030045291	What does it consist of?
mdp.39015030045291	What good does it do to confess if the other does not understand?
mdp.39015030045291	What had he left?
mdp.39015030045291	What had possessed this im- becile pack?
mdp.39015030045291	What happened?
mdp.39015030045291	What happened?
mdp.39015030045291	What has happened? ” “ She does not wish to see you, ” said the monosyllabic Gertrude, and gazed into the light of the hall lamp.
mdp.39015030045291	What have we got to eat on this holy evening? ” asked Jordan, turning with fear and trembling to Philippina.
mdp.39015030045291	What is the matter with me?
mdp.39015030045291	What is the use of feeding people with unripe or half- baked stuff?
mdp.39015030045291	What kind of a room is this? ” asked Daniel, rather forcibly.
mdp.39015030045291	What next?
mdp.39015030045291	What office do you hold?
mdp.39015030045291	What shall I do? ” she asked, and let her head sink.
mdp.39015030045291	What sin, pray, have you committed? ” asked Eleanore, and bent down over her.
mdp.39015030045291	What then is the use of my talking with you?
mdp.39015030045291	What then? ” Gertrude had become as pale as death.
mdp.39015030045291	What then? ” Whether Jason Philip himself believed what he had said Theresa could not determine.
mdp.39015030045291	What was it, maestro?
mdp.39015030045291	What was that? ” viii.
mdp.39015030045291	What was there to hinder a pure soul from having an inner premonition of the fate that was in store for it?
mdp.39015030045291	What's he up to now? ” sighed the old lady, as she shoved her broom under her arm.
mdp.39015030045291	What's it for?
mdp.39015030045291	What's that?
mdp.39015030045291	What's up? ” “ Nothing.
mdp.39015030045291	When Daniel came in, the Goose Man got up and went over to him, greeted him, and said in a kindly, confidential tone: “ Are you back so soon?
mdp.39015030045291	When he returned, Eleanore was just going to her room: “ Well, Eleanore, are you not going to say good- night? ” he called after her.
mdp.39015030045291	When will you finally give, O parsimonious mortal?
mdp.39015030045291	When? ” asked Daniel, filled with dismay at the thought of losing his friend.
mdp.39015030045291	Where are you going? ” asked Daniel, in faithful amazement.
mdp.39015030045291	Where did you think it was?
mdp.39015030045291	Where is the woman who has lived without joy or love or esteem or freedom or peace, a burden to others and to herself?
mdp.39015030045291	Where is there another woman in the world whose lot has been like mine?
mdp.39015030045291	Where is there another woman who has been so shamelessly robbed of her children?
mdp.39015030045291	Where it's gone to?
mdp.39015030045291	Where should I go if not to you? ” Daniel went up to her, and laid his hands on her shoulders.
mdp.39015030045291	Where was she?
mdp.39015030045291	Where was the way that could be followed?
mdp.39015030045291	Where was there an angle from which embarrassment, anxiety, and ruin were not ready to leap forth without warning?
mdp.39015030045291	Where, pray, are my wings?
mdp.39015030045291	Who are you anyhow?
mdp.39015030045291	Who can create anything, who can draw anything from his soul under such conditions?
mdp.39015030045291	Who cares?
mdp.39015030045291	Who could it be?
mdp.39015030045291	Who knows?
mdp.39015030045291	Who needs it?
mdp.39015030045291	Who was happier than Jason Philip Schimmelweis?
mdp.39015030045291	Why are you in such a hurry?
mdp.39015030045291	Why are you so serious?
mdp.39015030045291	Why could n't he go home with Benda?
mdp.39015030045291	Why did Fate bring you into my life?
mdp.39015030045291	Why did n't you get the nurse? ” “ Can I leave the child here alone?
mdp.39015030045291	Why did n't you get the nurse? ” “ Can I leave the child here alone?
mdp.39015030045291	Why did you crucify your body and bind my wings?
mdp.39015030045291	Why did you go there? ” she asked boldly.
mdp.39015030045291	Why did you, like a coward, flee from your fate to their offices and ware- houses and iron safes and all their doleful business?
mdp.39015030045291	Why do you keep it there?
mdp.39015030045291	Why do you object to Eva? ” Eleanore smiled, and shook her head.
mdp.39015030045291	Why does he do it?
mdp.39015030045291	Why not fifty?
mdp.39015030045291	Why not straight out with the infor- mation any one chanced to be fortunate enough to have?
mdp.39015030045291	Why not twenty?
mdp.39015030045291	Why should I be so exacting as to ask that my clothes be mended, my windows washed, my room swept, and my table in order?
mdp.39015030045291	Why should I insist that my morning coffee be warm and my rolls fresh from the baker?
mdp.39015030045291	Why should I want to have my meals served at regular hours?
mdp.39015030045291	Why should this soul not learn in its dreams of the inevitable that was not so far ahead?
mdp.39015030045291	Why was it raging?
mdp.39015030045291	Why were you deaf to me and desirous of gathering fruits where there are only stones?
mdp.39015030045291	Why, the depth of his soul asked him, why did you sit in their counting- houses and waste their time?
mdp.39015030045291	Will you tolerate me in your home? ” “ Tolerate?
mdp.39015030045291	Will you tolerate me in your home? ” “ Tolerate?
mdp.39015030045291	With the understanding of Gertrude?
mdp.39015030045291	With what right do you come rushing into the four walls of my home?
mdp.39015030045291	Wo n't you come and see what's the matter? ” She took Philippina into the kitchen.
mdp.39015030045291	Would Daniel go to the Baroness?
mdp.39015030045291	Would it not fill them with joy if I had to make my living beating stones on the public highway or cleaning out sewers?
mdp.39015030045291	Would you call this life?
mdp.39015030045291	Would you like something else? ” Daniel evaded the questions; he was out of sorts.
mdp.39015030045291	Would you like to know what I have been living on for the last three months?
mdp.39015030045291	Would you like to see him?
mdp.39015030045291	Yes — but how?
mdp.39015030045291	Yes? ” Gertrude got up.
mdp.39015030045291	Yet, some one was calling him; but from where?
mdp.39015030045291	You are coming along, are n't you, Fried- rich? ” Benda first made a few polite remarks, and then said he would accept.
mdp.39015030045291	You can help? ” stammered Eleanore.
mdp.39015030045291	You do n’t like me, do you? ” Gertrude looked at her in amazement, and made no reply; she did not know what to say.
mdp.39015030045291	You found something for yourself? ” “ What do I mean?
mdp.39015030045291	You found something for yourself? ” “ What do I mean?
mdp.39015030045291	You may show both; and yet, what is the cause of my fear?
mdp.39015030045291	You remember, do n’t you? ” The other two modded.
mdp.39015030045291	You see everything too white and too black: A winged creature, I?
mdp.39015030045291	You show your- self after a long while?
mdp.39015030045291	You think I'm crazy?
mdp.39015030045291	You'd like to git your fingers on it, would n't you?
mdp.39015030045291	You?
mdp.39015030045291	no letter from Daniel? ” he asked in a sad voice, “ nothing, nothing at all? ” Philippina shrugged her shoulders.
mdp.39015030045291	no letter from Daniel? ” he asked in a sad voice, “ nothing, nothing at all? ” Philippina shrugged her shoulders.
mdp.39015030045291	what do you wish of me? ” A voice within him, asked.
mdp.39015030045291	when ripen, tree?
mdp.39015030045291	“ A child?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Ah, what do we want with a washwoman? ” said Gertrude; “ we can not afford one.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Ah, you poor bloke, you want to know the very latest, do n’t you? ” she snarled, and then grinned with blatant self- complacency.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Am I really suffering? ” he said to himself.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Am I too melancholy, too heavy for you? ” This was the question that came to him from the irrevocable past.
mdp.39015030045291	“ And I presume that to make the story com- plete the child's name is Eva...? ” “ Yes, Eva, ” whispered Eleanore, touched by the situation.
mdp.39015030045291	“ And you are trying to sound me?
mdp.39015030045291	“ And your father?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Are you crazy, man?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Buffer?
mdp.39015030045291	“ But aside, who is it? ” came forth like a great, deep dirge.
mdp.39015030045291	“ But where is help to come from?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Ca n't you see that you are ruining him? ” she cried.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Can I be of service to you, Sir, in a Christian way? ” he asked, after he had blown his nose.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Can the embezzled money be returned within twenty- four hours? ” asked the pudgy, purple prince of pen- pushers.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Can we put the unfortunate girl out of the house? ” continued Fräulein Saloma, “ can we, sisters?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Can we put the unfortunate girl out of the house? ” continued Fräulein Saloma, “ can we, sisters?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Curious, is n’t it?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Daniel?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Darkness?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Did you ever see Dorothea's mother? ” he asked, by way of breaking the long silence.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Did you find anything for the second- hand furniture man? ” he asked, as he puffed away.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Did you leave me anything but my music?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do n’t you want to see your Eleanore before the coffin is closed? ” asked Philippina in a hollow voice.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do you believe that I am a person to be content with what is TRES FACIUNT COLLEGIUM 223 past?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do you believe that it is possible to jest with the most sacred laws of nature?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do you realise that I never heard you play?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do you see these big white spots here?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do you see, Daniel, do you see?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Do you want me to give you a present for finding me a man, Philippina? ” she asked, with a sympathetic smile.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Earths?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Eleven years old? ” he asked, hungry for sensation, “ why — that was, then — before the time.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Forget?
mdp.39015030045291	“ From Benda? ” asked Daniel quickly.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Gertrude, what is the matter? ” cried Jordan in dismay.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Go home! ” “ Who are you?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Good or bad? ” she asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Greetings, greetings, ” he ex- claimed, and waved his hand, “ what are you doing here? ” It was Herr Carovius to whom he spoke.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Have you ever asked yourself how the hand of murder came to strike you?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Have you so many flowers up in your room? ” “ Yes, I have some flowers, ” replied Eleanore, and blushed.
mdp.39015030045291	“ He is working at a doll, Daniel. ” “ At a doll?
mdp.39015030045291	“ How are you making out? ” she asked with embarrassment, and without the remotest display of warmth.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How are your finances, my son? ” he asked, turning to Daniel with an air of marked affability.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How did you ever come by so much money?
mdp.39015030045291	“ How did you find it, Eleanore?
mdp.39015030045291	“ How do you feel? ” he asked in a kindly tone, “ are you better? ” Gertrude turned to one side, and sat down on a chair.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How do you feel? ” he asked in a kindly tone, “ are you better? ” Gertrude turned to one side, and sat down on a chair.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How do you know? ” asked Theresa, in a tone of evident dis- trust.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How in the world have you been keeping the house going all this time? ” he asked, viewing the situation in the light of his guilty conscience.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How long will she be gone? ” he thought in his unconscious, drunken impatience.
mdp.39015030045291	“ How tragic you are, little Eleanore, ” said Daniel in a tone of unusual flippancy, “ what do you want me to do?
mdp.39015030045291	“ I am a sinner. ” “ Yes?
mdp.39015030045291	“ I am fright- ened; it is so dark. ” “ You are frightened, Eleanore, you?
mdp.39015030045291	“ I found it in an old chest; it is mother's bridal wreath. ” “ Really?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is it anything more than that, Dorothea? ” “ What do you mean? ” she repeated, embarrassed and indignant.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is it anything more than that, Dorothea? ” “ What do you mean? ” she repeated, embarrassed and indignant.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is it cold out? ” she asked, and in a moment she had left the room.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is it possible? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is it true, Daniel, that you are going to get married again?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is she ill? ” “ No! ” 94.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Is your father at home? ” She nodded.
mdp.39015030045291	“ It is an undignified state of affairs, Eleanore, ” he exclaimed, “ we must make an end of it. ” Make an end of it?
mdp.39015030045291	“ It ’s a pity, ” murmured Daniel, “ a pity! ” “ Why a pity?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Listen, Philippina, are you ever going to talk? ” said Daniel, gritting his teeth.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Lord, what is to become of the next generation? ” said Jordan, quite worried.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Man, man, are you weeping at last? ” a voice seemed to call out to him.
mdp.39015030045291	“ May I stay with you, Daniel?
mdp.39015030045291	“ May I? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Moi, I ought to be, how do you say?
mdp.39015030045291	“ My God, my God, what has happened to me? ” she sighed, and wrung her hands.
mdp.39015030045291	“ My mother used to live there, ” he replied hesitatingly, “ she has died. ” “ Yes — and? ” breathed Dorothea.
mdp.39015030045291	“ No, you poor simpleton, what you want is my money, hey?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Nobody can help you but me. ” “ You?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Nothing at all?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Of course he has money, lots of it, ” said Dorothea, and her eyes flashed, “ but — ” “ But?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Oi, it is late, ai n’t it?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Really, Eleanore? ” he asked with greedy curiosity.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Really?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Resignation?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Say, Daniel, ” she began, “ would you like to have some money from me? ” Daniel turned his head slowly and looked at her in amazement.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Shut up, you beast, ” cried Daniel: “ How long has she been suffering?
mdp.39015030045291	“ So late? ” she whispered with premonitory embarrassment, and began to finger her dress, which she had not yet buttoned up.
mdp.39015030045291	“ That is what you call a grin? ” he asked, shak- ing his head; “ Is it possible?
mdp.39015030045291	“ That is what you call a grin? ” he asked, shak- ing his head; “ Is it possible?
mdp.39015030045291	“ That was what Eleanore had in mind? ” he murmured timidly to himself.
mdp.39015030045291	“ The fault of a woman?
mdp.39015030045291	“ The money?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Then you have at last found the old receipt, have you? ” he asked with wide- opened eyes.
mdp.39015030045291	“ This is like murder, unheard- of murder, ” cried Benda's soul; “ how can he bear it?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Three thousand seven hundred marks? ” he roared.
mdp.39015030045291	“ To Switzerland?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Too heavy for you? ” she asked with wide- opened eyes.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Uncle, ” she stammered, “ he wants to marry me to that flour sack. ” “ Yes?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Well, sweetheart, ” said Herr Diruf, his smile gradually chang- ing into a sort of convulsion, “ we are not bad, are we?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Well, what is your secret? ” asked Daniel brusquely, after they had sat in perfect silence for some time.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Well, who can keep from the dirt these days? ” she asked, almost wild with excitement.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What are you doing, Eleanore, what are you thinking about? ” Eleanore shuddered: “ Ah, is it you, Daniel?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What are you doing, Eleanore, what are you thinking about? ” Eleanore shuddered: “ Ah, is it you, Daniel?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What are you so excited about?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What are you trying to do?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What are you up to? ” he asked with a hoarse voice.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What are you, any way, what is your vocation? ” asked Eber- hard von Auffenberg.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What can I do? ” That was the question she put to herself day and night.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What can I do? ” she whispered to herself, and looked around in the attic with an expression of complete helplessness.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What can human fancy find rea- sonable or possible after all that has happened?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What can we do now? ” she said to Daniel.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What did he say? ” they asked, and looked at each other in astonishment.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What do you mean?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What do you mean?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What do you want, Siegmund? ” she asked, with painful effort.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What does that mean?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What goal? ” the table companions asked in unison.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What has Benda got to say? ” asked Gertrude hesitatingly.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is it all about? ” asked Daniel, seemingly ill inclined to become excited.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is that on your body there? ” asked Dorothea.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is the good of recognition? ” she asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is the latest concerning the Goose Man? ” became a standing head- line.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is the matter with Agnes? ” he asked after a while.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is the matter with her? ” thought Daniel, on noticing her complete lack of excitement.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is the matter, gentlemen?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is this I hear about you and the women? ” asked Herr Carovius one day.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is this I smell? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is this?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What is your name? ” asked Daniel.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What was there in Eschenbach?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What will the night watchman think when he comes along and finds you up?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What would I get out of them?
mdp.39015030045291	“ What's the matter with you, why did n't you go to school? ” asked Theresa uneasily.
mdp.39015030045291	“ What's the news? ” asked Jason Philip, as he crossed his arms and looked at the pile of beans on the table.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where are you going, if I may ask? ” There was an expression of apparent sympathy in his question.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where are you going? ” asked the old man.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where can Philippina be? ” asked Daniel.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where did the child come from? ” they asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where do you think she is? ” said Philippina contemptuously: “ She is upstairs with your husband. ” Gertrude heard Daniel playing the piano.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where is Eleanore? ” asked Gertrude.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where is Eleanore? ” he murmured, but seemed to take no interest in the reply to his question.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where is my father? ” asked Agnes suddenly, without looking at Philippina.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where is my wife? ” he asked a second time, after a pause.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where is my wife? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Where is the money my father gave you? ” came the words at last, rolling from his lips in a tone of muffled sullenness.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Who are you? ” he asked the girl.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Who did that? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Who gave you those ostrich feathers? ” he asked, suddenly and rather brusquely.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Who is here again? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Who is its mother?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Who is the child?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why am I in that house there, in that prison? ” cried Gertrude, and clasped her hands to her breast.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why did she hide it there? ” he asked himself.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why do n't you dress better? ” continued Eleanore; “ Daniel does not like to see you going about in that ugly old brown skirt.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why do n't you read on? ” asked Eleanore, when he paused.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why do you laugh? ” asked Daniel sternly, and adjusted his glasses.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why have n’t you lighted a lamp? ” asked Daniel angrily.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why not Eva? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why not?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why, do n't you see?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why, he wanted to be made a professor, but people had objected. ” Why had they objected?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Why? ” roared Daniel, stopping.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Will you mind the baby and sleep with it? ” Daniel asked.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Wo n't you eat with us, Gertrude? ” asked Eleanore.
mdp.39015030045291	“ Would you not like to bolster up your income by taking a position in the conservatory?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Yes, a sacred fire?
mdp.39015030045291	“ Yes, but what am I to say about Herr Dörmaul's opinion? ” asked Benda.
mdp.39015030045291	“ You have the boldness to appear in my sight?
mdp.39015030045291	“ You liked it then, did you, Eleanore? ” asked Daniel, as they walked along the street.
mdp.39015030045291	“ You little worm, what do you want in this world? ” he said to his daughter.
mdp.39015030045291	“ You want me to be ruined, do you? ” asked Eleanore, in sur- prised dismay.
mdp.39015030045291	“ You wo n't care, will you, Father, if I go home with them? ” asked Eleanore in a tone of flattery.
mdp.39015030045291	“ You? ” she whispered in astonishment, “ you? ” “ Yes, you, ” he replied emphatically.
mdp.39015030045291	“ You? ” she whispered in astonishment, “ you? ” “ Yes, you, ” he replied emphatically.
mdp.39015063946480	'What the jiminy are'ee doin?'
mdp.39015063946480	'Aw, is he indeed?' mdp.39015063946480 A clergyman?"
mdp.39015063946480	A drink o'milk? mdp.39015063946480 A friend?"
mdp.39015063946480	Among these million Suns how shall the strayed Soul find her way back to earth?
mdp.39015063946480	And Mamzelle Lucille?
mdp.39015063946480	And what will you do,I asked,"when you are married?"
mdp.39015063946480	And you love every soul — the painted woman in the streets no less than your own mother?
mdp.39015063946480	Annie, girl, what is it that we believe till to- morrow morning? mdp.39015063946480 Are there,"she tried again,"are there — any — children?"
mdp.39015063946480	Are you the chap that was tried to- day for murder of Jeweller Todd?
mdp.39015063946480	Dick, ai n't you proud of him? mdp.39015063946480 Did they come?
mdp.39015063946480	Did you dig him up?
mdp.39015063946480	Do n't you?
mdp.39015063946480	Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?
mdp.39015063946480	Do you like these things?
mdp.39015063946480	Do you mean to tell me you have trotted in this sun all the way from Bleakirk?
mdp.39015063946480	Do you mind shouldering that spade and pickaxe, and following me?
mdp.39015063946480	Do you want to know the first step of all?
mdp.39015063946480	Eh? — does he live there?
mdp.39015063946480	Eh? — does he live there?
mdp.39015063946480	Gentlemen of the jury—it was the judge's voice —"are you agreed upon your verdict?"
mdp.39015063946480	Ghosts?
mdp.39015063946480	Hey? mdp.39015063946480 Hey?"
mdp.39015063946480	How d'ye do?
mdp.39015063946480	How shall it be,I thought,"if after stealing my youth, he go on to take the one thing that is better?"
mdp.39015063946480	I wonder now,he asked, as if it were a riddle —"I wonder if you can guess why the body was never found?"
mdp.39015063946480	If we both know well enough what is underneath, what is the use of digging?
mdp.39015063946480	Is that you, sir?
mdp.39015063946480	Is the old man ill?
mdp.39015063946480	Is the review over already?
mdp.39015063946480	Is there any you fancy?
mdp.39015063946480	Let us grant that to be a merit,retorted Joanna:"Do I understand you to claim the credit of it?"
mdp.39015063946480	Listen to me,he went on in a dull voice;"do you remember sitting beside this road, close on ten years back?
mdp.39015063946480	Oh, it's you, is it?
mdp.39015063946480	Oh, why did I read it? mdp.39015063946480 One like the other?"
mdp.39015063946480	Shall I give master a leg up?
mdp.39015063946480	The snuff?
mdp.39015063946480	The spiders?
mdp.39015063946480	Then Isaac stepped back, and spoke very slow —'What nation?' mdp.39015063946480 To be sure,"said I,"What are you two about on board The Gleaner?"
mdp.39015063946480	To what end, Miss Bunce, are you preserv- ing them?
mdp.39015063946480	Well?
mdp.39015063946480	Well?
mdp.39015063946480	What fire is that?
mdp.39015063946480	What is that?
mdp.39015063946480	What shall we sing?
mdp.39015063946480	What, before the trial? mdp.39015063946480 What?"
mdp.39015063946480	Who's Feodor?
mdp.39015063946480	Why are you on foot?
mdp.39015063946480	Why do n't you speak to him?
mdp.39015063946480	Why have you come?
mdp.39015063946480	Why should I give you my watch?
mdp.39015063946480	You like it?
mdp.39015063946480	You remember, sir, the story of the baker in Langius? mdp.39015063946480 Your husband?"
mdp.39015063946480	'Can'ee tell me what time'tis?
mdp.39015063946480	'Is anything the matter, William?'
mdp.39015063946480	'You will aid, eh?
mdp.39015063946480	23 landish sisters?
mdp.39015063946480	26?
mdp.39015063946480	31"Well?
mdp.39015063946480	About ten, as we was thinkin to alley- couchey, there comes a bangin'on the door, an'Isaac gets up an'lets the bar down, singin'out,'Who is it?'
mdp.39015063946480	After touching the notes softly, to be sure they were in tune, she drew over a chair, and fell to playing Schumann's"Warum?"
mdp.39015063946480	Ah, sir,'he cried,'you will help?
mdp.39015063946480	Ah, well"—she nodded towards her step- sisters —"I ask you why they and I should be daughters of one father?"
mdp.39015063946480	An'how much beer be I to have for my weddin'portion?'
mdp.39015063946480	And a boy and girl who THE CONSTANT POST- DO V. 1B7 came along this road together and asked you to marry them?"
mdp.39015063946480	And he worships me,—don't you, Billy?"
mdp.39015063946480	And what next?"
mdp.39015063946480	And where are you carry- ing me?"
mdp.39015063946480	But a man may break out for once; and when so well as on his honeymoon?
mdp.39015063946480	By the way, how is Squire Cart- wright of the Hall?"
mdp.39015063946480	By the way, what do you mean to do now that you have a fresh start?"
mdp.39015063946480	Did you suppose, because I ran away to act, that I was n't an honest woman?"
mdp.39015063946480	Do you love each other?"
mdp.39015063946480	Do you mind pass- ing the bottle?
mdp.39015063946480	Do you see this stick?
mdp.39015063946480	Finally, the girl disengaged her hand and stepped forward —"If you please, sir, are you a clergyman?"
mdp.39015063946480	Have I stated it correctly?"
mdp.39015063946480	He is far below me in station,—ain't you, Billy dear?
mdp.39015063946480	He was transfigured; his voice swelled and sank with passion, swelled again, and then, at the words —"Quae te tam laeta tulerunt Saecula?
mdp.39015063946480	Hey, is it not so?"
mdp.39015063946480	How could he tell where they lay?
mdp.39015063946480	How far have you walked to- day?"
mdp.39015063946480	I called out,"what are you doing out in this weather?"
mdp.39015063946480	I drew a long breath, looked from her to the boy, and asked—-"Is that so?"
mdp.39015063946480	I suppose at this point he must have de- tected the question in my eyes, for he cried sharply,"You wish to know my purpose?
mdp.39015063946480	If I.put you to- night, and in half an hour's time, in possession of property worth ten thousand pounds, will that content you?"
mdp.39015063946480	It gave me"Hearts of Oak,""Why, Soldiers, why?"
mdp.39015063946480	It reminds me of a story — by the way, do you know Latin?
mdp.39015063946480	Land- lord, is this a respectable house?"
mdp.39015063946480	May I trouble you — my joints are stiff — to fill your drinking- cup from the brook at your feet?"
mdp.39015063946480	No?
mdp.39015063946480	Now, not a man in the neighbour- hood would own to having stolen them; so what so easy to suspect as witchcraft?
mdp.39015063946480	Pluck the bloom of it — hey?
mdp.39015063946480	Qui tanti talem genuere parentes?"
mdp.39015063946480	Shall I tell you how much?"
mdp.39015063946480	Shall We Know One Another in Heaven?
mdp.39015063946480	Simple, is it not?
mdp.39015063946480	The black- rimmed pair must be up- stairs, on the""How d'ye do, my dears?"
mdp.39015063946480	To be sure, you have never heard of the fiat- footed Jew man — how should you?
mdp.39015063946480	Two Women or One?
mdp.39015063946480	Was he a merchant?
mdp.39015063946480	Were you that boy?"
mdp.39015063946480	What put that into your head?"
mdp.39015063946480	What's the uproar?'
mdp.39015063946480	What's to be done to cure her?"
mdp.39015063946480	What's your name at all?
mdp.39015063946480	What, then, is my proposal?
mdp.39015063946480	When is your next half- holiday?"
mdp.39015063946480	Where is that?"
mdp.39015063946480	Why did God make you beautiful?"
mdp.39015063946480	Why did I read this sorrowful book?"
mdp.39015063946480	Why not a dish o'tea?"
mdp.39015063946480	Will you be kind enough to draw God?
mdp.39015063946480	Will you be like all the commentators?
mdp.39015063946480	Will you forget what Virgil has said and put your own nonsense into his golden mouth?"
mdp.39015063946480	Would you oblige me by casting a look over there in the corner?"
mdp.39015063946480	You believe — eh? — that'tis a rare world, full of delights, and with no ugliness in it?"
mdp.39015063946480	You believe — eh? — that'tis a rare world, full of delights, and with no ugliness in it?"
mdp.39015063946480	You know there's two postes'pon the town- quay, and another slap opposite the door o'the'Fifteen Balls'?
mdp.39015063946480	You laugh at my geese, eh?"
mdp.39015063946480	You will send for help? — you will aid?'
mdp.39015063946480	You will send for help? — you will aid?'
mdp.39015063946480	cried the old gentleman, and added after a moment,"Ah, to be sure, time flies — ■ quo dives Tvlhis et — Angus, eh?
mdp.39015063946480	you were the one to reconcile the Small People with that poor sister of yours who had left them, twenty years before, and wanted them so sorely?

mdp.39015063514643	And what time was that?
mdp.39015063514643	And who next to Doctor Carrington — on the other side of Sir Eustace?
mdp.39015063514643	And whom did you hear talking in here? mdp.39015063514643 Are n't they the people who reside in the locality?"
mdp.39015063514643	Be more explicit, Craig,interjected Anthony —"how do you mean that this was so?"
mdp.39015063514643	Born and bred, Inspector-- and his father and mother before him. ” “ Address?

mdp.39015063514643	But surely the direct way back from the kennels would n't bring you past these French doors?
mdp.39015063514643	But who was it, Hammond? mdp.39015063514643 Ca n't see anybody in it,"he muttered —"queer — don't you think?"
mdp.39015063514643	Can I have that blotting- pad, Doctor?
mdp.39015063514643	Care to walk towards Rodding with me — taking the road just as you did on the night of the murder? mdp.39015063514643 Cigarette?"
mdp.39015063514643	Clerkenwell and Nunhead?
mdp.39015063514643	Come in here, Mr. Bathurst,she said—"what have you to tell me?
mdp.39015063514643	Come, my girl,said Carrington —"what's all this about?
mdp.39015063514643	Could you describe your assailants, McLaren? mdp.39015063514643 Did I understand you to say that your In- spector is at Vernon House now?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did Sir Eustace give you any inkling as to what his letter to Sam McLaren contained?
mdp.39015063514643	Did anything in Sir Eustace's manner at dinner, for instance, suggest to you that he was on the verge of what I will term — breaking- point?
mdp.39015063514643	Did he have any relations? mdp.39015063514643 Did n't that strike you as somewhat strange?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did you happen to see Sir Eustace again after he left the dining- room?
mdp.39015063514643	Do 160 THE MURDERS NEAR MAPLETON you want to ask the chauffeur anything, Inspector Craig?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you know anybody round here who smokes tobacco of this description?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you mean me — personally?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you mind coming in here a moment, Miss Ashley?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you remember the piece of'hard'tobacco that Mr. Desmond stated that he had picked up in the grounds of Vernon House on the night of the murder? mdp.39015063514643 Do you wish to see the two rooms?
mdp.39015063514643	Doctor Carrington, here, will make himself responsible, I feel sure — won't you, Doctor?
mdp.39015063514643	Each of you, I take it, is quite sure of the statement that you have just made?
mdp.39015063514643	Everybody?
mdp.39015063514643	Extraordinary,commented Prendergast —"hang SHOCK FOLLOWS SHOCK 47 about — or would you rather Desmond or you your- self?"
mdp.39015063514643	For instance,he followed up —"what work had he done?
mdp.39015063514643	From your knowledge of Sir Eustace, would you describe him as what is usually termed'a ladies'man'?
mdp.39015063514643	Go straight over, Bathurst, will you — and pull up?
mdp.39015063514643	Had you obeyed your first inclinations then, Miss Ashley, whom would you have placed there?
mdp.39015063514643	Has anything more happened?
mdp.39015063514643	Has the chauffeur gone with it?
mdp.39015063514643	Have I your permission, Sir Austin,he supplemented,"to ask Inspector Craig one or two questions?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have a look at the body, Doctor Tempest, will you?
mdp.39015063514643	Have you any idea to what your uncle is re- ferring? mdp.39015063514643 How about see- ing this Mayor chap, Venables, Sir Austin?
mdp.39015063514643	How did your uncle pay his accounts then, Miss Ashley?
mdp.39015063514643	How do you know somebody stood behind the curtain, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	How do you know?
mdp.39015063514643	How do you mean, Inspector? mdp.39015063514643 How do you mean, Mrs. Croucher?
mdp.39015063514643	How?
mdp.39015063514643	I am also informed that you were Sir Eustace's immediate neighbor at table — that you were seated upon his immediate right — is that correct?
mdp.39015063514643	I find this most fascinating,he interjected —"may I see the message you mention?
mdp.39015063514643	I should like to put a question to you, gentle- men, in my turn, if I may be allowed? mdp.39015063514643 I suppose Mrs. Prendergast wo n't be able to tell us more than you have, Major?"
mdp.39015063514643	I'm to tell Inspector Craig that you're here, sir?
mdp.39015063514643	In the garden — eh? mdp.39015063514643 In the study?"
mdp.39015063514643	In what connection do you mean? mdp.39015063514643 In what way — not himself?"
mdp.39015063514643	Is that so, now? mdp.39015063514643 Is this Cannon available for me to see him now?"
mdp.39015063514643	Is this where the blotting- pad was?
mdp.39015063514643	It's Hammond,exclaimed Helen —"one of the kitchen- maids — whatever's the matter with her?
mdp.39015063514643	May I ask to what you particularly refer when you speak of consciences?
mdp.39015063514643	May I ask you how exactly your uncle's desire affected you?
mdp.39015063514643	May I see the letter — please?
mdp.39015063514643	Me? mdp.39015063514643 Mr. Desmond, here, can confirm what I say about my uncle's strangeness, ca n't you, Terry?"
mdp.39015063514643	Murdered?
mdp.39015063514643	My wife, sir? mdp.39015063514643 No doubt about the handwriting, I presume?"
mdp.39015063514643	No, Sir Matthew's sister's boy, I believe — Con- way Beresford, by name — hallo — what's this?
mdp.39015063514643	No? ” queried Sir Austin, as Craig dissented- “ then perhaps Father Jewell would request Mr. Trentham to step this way. mdp.39015063514643 Noticed anything?"
mdp.39015063514643	Now on the other seats at the back, will you, Sir Austin — ah — what's this?
mdp.39015063514643	One or two nasty cases at the moment, have n't you?
mdp.39015063514643	Or rather what, Mr. Des- mond?
mdp.39015063514643	Pay night you mean, sir, do n't you?
mdp.39015063514643	Remember where we were just about a year ago, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	Several in the house? mdp.39015063514643 She made no attempt to strike at you with it?"
mdp.39015063514643	She's only fainted,he said, curtly —"smelling- salts — anybody?
mdp.39015063514643	Shine the light directly on it, will you, Sir Austin, please?
mdp.39015063514643	Sir Eustace Vernon — isn't that the man who's just been murdered — about a week ago? mdp.39015063514643 Sit down, Mrs. Trentham, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063514643	So he's detained a couple of men'on suspicion,'has he?
mdp.39015063514643	Stay here, Doctor, will you please?
mdp.39015063514643	Strange — certainly,conceded Craig —"and where in the house was the money kept — does she know?"
mdp.39015063514643	Supposing it's gone when we return? mdp.39015063514643 Sure of that?"
mdp.39015063514643	Suspect?
mdp.39015063514643	The music- hall?
mdp.39015063514643	Then where did he keep them — there's that to be considered?
mdp.39015063514643	Then you walked on, I suppose?
mdp.39015063514643	There is a dressing- table of some kind I take it in your bedroom, Miss Ashley?
mdp.39015063514643	This evening? mdp.39015063514643 To what am I indebted for the honor of this visit?"
mdp.39015063514643	To whom does the Forest Waste belong?
mdp.39015063514643	Was it anybody you knew at all?
mdp.39015063514643	Well — not exactly — you or Major Painswick, shall we say?
mdp.39015063514643	Well, Bathurst,demanded Sir Austin—"what do you make of it all?"
mdp.39015063514643	Well, Doctor, what's your verdict?
mdp.39015063514643	Well,demanded that gentleman —"what's your point with regard to that?
mdp.39015063514643	Were they his exact words, Stevens?
mdp.39015063514643	What about the priest who was here — Father Jewell, was it?
mdp.39015063514643	What do you mean, Stevens? mdp.39015063514643 What do you mean, Terry — tell me — have you?"
mdp.39015063514643	What do you mean? mdp.39015063514643 What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	What do you think of it, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	What do you think, Doctor?
mdp.39015063514643	What happened then?
mdp.39015063514643	What have you got, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	What is it, Inspector? mdp.39015063514643 What makes you so confident of the fact?"
mdp.39015063514643	What now, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	What time does the boat leave, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	What trees are these, Fish — alders?
mdp.39015063514643	What was your'phone message, Inspector — a suspected murder?
mdp.39015063514643	What were the colors of the dresses worn by the various ladies last evening?
mdp.39015063514643	What were you doing in the garden at this time of night, Hammond?
mdp.39015063514643	What were you going to say, Terence? mdp.39015063514643 What will you say you was doin'in the grounds?"
mdp.39015063514643	What would have happened, Bathurst, if anybody had walked into the study when what you call'the machinery'was being put in motion?
mdp.39015063514643	What's all the bother? mdp.39015063514643 What's our next move?"
mdp.39015063514643	What's that?
mdp.39015063514643	What's that?
mdp.39015063514643	What's that?
mdp.39015063514643	What's the allusion, Inspector?
mdp.39015063514643	What's the trouble, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	What's your point, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	What? mdp.39015063514643 When Hammond told you her story of having been attacked by a woman — whom did you suspect?"
mdp.39015063514643	When Sam McLaren received this message and read it — did he show any signs of surprise?
mdp.39015063514643	When did I last see him alive?
mdp.39015063514643	When did you last see Purvis before you found him dead?
mdp.39015063514643	When did you see her?
mdp.39015063514643	Where did it come from, Father?
mdp.39015063514643	Where did you hear this, may I ask?
mdp.39015063514643	Where is he now?
mdp.39015063514643	Where is this gentleman now?
mdp.39015063514643	Where was the maid lying?
mdp.39015063514643	Where?
mdp.39015063514643	Which woman?
mdp.39015063514643	Who could have?
mdp.39015063514643	Who was that?
mdp.39015063514643	Whose was the voice, then, that the maid, Palmer, heard?
mdp.39015063514643	Why are the police doing that? mdp.39015063514643 Why not?
mdp.39015063514643	Why — what do you mean, sir? mdp.39015063514643 Why, then, do you think, did your uncle put your letter inside your bed?
mdp.39015063514643	Why? mdp.39015063514643 Why?"
mdp.39015063514643	Will any of the ladies be there, sir?
mdp.39015063514643	Will it be wise on our part to leave this car here? mdp.39015063514643 Would you like me to get you anything, Miss?
mdp.39015063514643	You ai n't lorst for wot the cat washes'erself with, are you, guv'nor? mdp.39015063514643 You are acquainted, I take it, Mr.—er — Mayor, with the fact that Sir Eustace Vernon was mur- dered?"
mdp.39015063514643	You are quite sure that only one person came out of the room when you entered it?
mdp.39015063514643	You can tell me nothing more?
mdp.39015063514643	You do n't smoke it yourself, by any chance?
mdp.39015063514643	You have heard perhaps of the lamentable death of the Governor — the late Major Painswick? mdp.39015063514643 You have no objection to the Major and me?
mdp.39015063514643	You know of no fact, I suppose, Father — likely to help us — in relation to what took place here last night? mdp.39015063514643 You remember the red bonbon found on Purvis, Doctor, do n't you?
mdp.39015063514643	You remember, Inspector, what he did at the be- ginning of the year?
mdp.39015063514643	You still think so?
mdp.39015063514643	You think it was suicide then, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063514643	You've never heard your uncle make any special reference to him — then?
mdp.39015063514643	You?
mdp.39015063514643	'E's left her all right, I suppose? ” “ On the contrary, McLaren, as far as we can tell at present, just the reverse.
mdp.39015063514643	'” “ In the same handwriting?"
mdp.39015063514643	,"When you returned, Stevens — did you report again to Sir Eustace?"
mdp.39015063514643	10 THE MURDERS NEAR MAPLETON"What's come to your uncle, these days?"
mdp.39015063514643	106 THE MURDERS NEAR MAPLETON"You broke the door down — then?"
mdp.39015063514643	126 THE MURDERS NEAR MAPLETON"Or about the absence of your master, either, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063514643	208 THE MURDERS NEAR MAPLETON “ How long was this ago, Payne?"
mdp.39015063514643	A SHOT FROM BEHIND 75"Sir Eustace Vernon?"
mdp.39015063514643	A very mys- terious business, too, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063514643	A woman masquerading as a man — eh?"
mdp.39015063514643	Ah, Mr. Desmond — now you've returned — perhaps we might have a look at the study — is it convenient?"
mdp.39015063514643	Alberto Poissonnio, does this tree differ from most of those that surround it?
mdp.39015063514643	All the three of us here in this room real- ize the importance of that, but how many of us can answer it in this case?
mdp.39015063514643	Also what was it that Vernon knew to benefit Sam?
mdp.39015063514643	Am I to understand also that it bore the same mes- sage?
mdp.39015063514643	And how do you explain that — er — anachronism?"
mdp.39015063514643	And this is the patch on the blotting- pad — eh, that Major Prendergast mentioned?"
mdp.39015063514643	And we have no adequate reason for disbelieving Hammond's story — have we?
mdp.39015063514643	And what can I get for you, sir?"
mdp.39015063514643	And will somebody bring me a glass of cold water?"
mdp.39015063514643	Any idea of his whereabouts? ” Payne's voice sank to what was merely a whisper.
mdp.39015063514643	Any other places besides that?"
mdp.39015063514643	Any results, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063514643	Anybody got a flash- lamp handy?"
mdp.39015063514643	Anything that you could truly describe as out of the ordinary?"
mdp.39015063514643	Ap- pears somewhat contradictory, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063514643	Are all the other people that you have asked to come along, here?"
mdp.39015063514643	Are they deliberate or accidental?
mdp.39015063514643	As far as you know, was your uncle very familiar with the hand- writing of Purvis — would he know it for certain when he saw it?"
mdp.39015063514643	As to what the article mentioned in the letter was?"
mdp.39015063514643	BEHIND THE CURTAIN K)9"That she was killing two birds with one stone — eh?
mdp.39015063514643	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514643	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514643	Be good enough to tell Father Jewell when you go out that we would like to see him in here, will you, Major?"
mdp.39015063514643	But should he follow it before he attempted to follow others?
mdp.39015063514643	But tell me — what is it you've noticed?
mdp.39015063514643	But there is just this fact — about which we desire a little further information and if possible a little more explanation — shall we say?
mdp.39015063514643	But this skirt or frock of hers that you say you felt — could you describe the material in any way?
mdp.39015063514643	By the way — is Mr. Trentham in?"
mdp.39015063514643	By — shall we say — a chance entrant?
mdp.39015063514643	CHAPTER III THE TERROR CONTINUES"Come over here, gentlemen, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063514643	CHAPTER V THE FINDING OF SIR EUSTACE"What on earth do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	Can I rely upon your promise? ” Two more currency notes ex- changed company.
mdp.39015063514643	Can you help the police at all?
mdp.39015063514643	Can you possibly remember the date when Sir Eustace Vernon came and spoke to you, as you described, at your coffee- stall?"
mdp.39015063514643	Can you recall?"
mdp.39015063514643	Carefully searched and not just glanced over? ” “ That is so, Inspector,"answered Prendergast.
mdp.39015063514643	Carelessly perhaps — or even absent- mindedly?"
mdp.39015063514643	Could you describe him at all?".
mdp.39015063514643	Desmond,'phone to Mapleton, will you?
mdp.39015063514643	Desmond?"
mdp.39015063514643	Desmond?"
mdp.39015063514643	Desmond?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did he knoiv — or did she know, if it were a woman?
mdp.39015063514643	Did he know a Mr. Paget- Colvin?
mdp.39015063514643	Did it surprise you?
mdp.39015063514643	Did she know the direction of Letchworth Mount — the residence of a Mr. Van Hoyt?
mdp.39015063514643	Did the curtain remain drawn to that side during the whole of the time that you and the others were in the library?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did you happen to notice if Sir Eustace — when he left the dining- table, carried such a bonbon away with him?
mdp.39015063514643	Did you hear him say that?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did you retain, by any chance, any of the late Mr. Damery's staff?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did you save time?"
mdp.39015063514643	Did you suspect any one of them- for example- Mrs. Prendergast- or Mrs. Venables, or?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do I understand you to mean — Sir Eustace Vernon and Purvis?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do n't you think it's our duty?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do n't you think so, Bath- urst?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do n't you think so, sir?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do you agree with me?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do you follow what I mean, McLaren?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do you get what I mean, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you know anything about a piece of land 156 THE MURDERS NEAR MAPLETON adjoining the late Sir Eustace Vernon's property, known as the Forest Waste?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do you know of anything that you imagine we may be in ignorance of?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do you see it?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you suspect that anything of the sort had occurred?"
mdp.39015063514643	Do you think such a thing was suspected by any of the household at Vernon House?
mdp.39015063514643	Do you understand what I mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	Doctor Carrington-- the prison doctor- knew of his friend- ship with me-"“ Doctor who? ” cut in Anthony.
mdp.39015063514643	Eh — Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514643	Eh? ” Bathurst seemed not to hear- at any rate, Sir Austin was not favored with a reply.
mdp.39015063514643	Explain — do you mind?
mdp.39015063514643	Extraordinary business — don't you think, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063514643	Fish,"he exclaimed,"does anything strike you?"
mdp.39015063514643	Follow those prints with me, will you?"
mdp.39015063514643	For instance — whom would you have put as your uncle's neighbor at table had the matter remained in your hands?
mdp.39015063514643	For what purpose was this man calling upon her now?
mdp.39015063514643	Get hold of his shoulders, will you? ” Anthony stooped down and did as he had been directed.
mdp.39015063514643	Give me a cup of coffee and one of those hard biscuits, will you?
mdp.39015063514643	Got any news for me — or have you come to assist me in seeing the Old Year out?"
mdp.39015063514643	HAMMOND SCREAMS 25 “ What makes you think that? ” asked Desmond again.
mdp.39015063514643	Had you been in touch with Sir Eustace at all before his murder?"
mdp.39015063514643	Hammond — get Stevens — the chauffeur — to let us have half a dozen of the lanterns that used to be kept down in the old stables — will you?
mdp.39015063514643	Has Mr. McLaren been ill?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you any idea what the man did when you think he alighted from the car?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you any idea?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you any particu- lar desire, sir, as to the first person to be seen?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you brought it with you?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you discovered anything?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you ever heard him refer to it?
mdp.39015063514643	Have you ever heard of the'Chosroes Cross'?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you such a thing as a'photo'of Collins and Page?"
mdp.39015063514643	Have you thought of them?
mdp.39015063514643	Here?
mdp.39015063514643	How am I wrong?"
mdp.39015063514643	How do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	How far are we from Dyke's Crossing?
mdp.39015063514643	How long have I been here, Helen?"
mdp.39015063514643	I could find""What have you there, Desmond?"
mdp.39015063514643	I have n't known quite what to do, but I reckon him being dead releases me from my promise, do n't you, sir?"
mdp.39015063514643	I presume from what you have told me that Doctor Carrington is still with the body?"
mdp.39015063514643	I see no reason at all why we should doubt his story, do you?
mdp.39015063514643	I see — this makes a difference — doesn't it?"
mdp.39015063514643	I sha n't be in the way, shall I?
mdp.39015063514643	I take it that you would not be inclined to contradict me in that opinion?"
mdp.39015063514643	I think my suggestion will be to sleep on the problem until to- mor- row morning — eh?
mdp.39015063514643	I think we owe it to Miss Ashley — I am right, I think, Miss Ashley, in assuming that the portiere there marks the entrance to your uncle's library?
mdp.39015063514643	I""In Derby — eh?
mdp.39015063514643	I'm not mak- ing a mistake, am I, sir?"
mdp.39015063514643	If he was goin'to play'ide and seek — it was no concern of mine, was it now?"
mdp.39015063514643	If your uncle does n't show up be- fore then, please pay my respects and explain to him — will you?
mdp.39015063514643	In the first place — have you anything further to tell me in regard to what I will term the'Sir Eustace Vernon affair'?"
mdp.39015063514643	In what way d'yer mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	Is it all right?"
mdp.39015063514643	Is it convenient, Miss Ashley?"
mdp.39015063514643	Is that a true statement? ” “ If she says so it is because I should have to say the same.
mdp.39015063514643	Is that about right? ” “ Quite right,"declared Albert.
mdp.39015063514643	Is there anything?
mdp.39015063514643	Is your errand to- day by way of being important?"
mdp.39015063514643	It dropped from a cigar held by a man who stood there, listening, shall we say — watching, shall we suggest?
mdp.39015063514643	Lastly, but by no means negligibly on that ac- count, why had the veterinary surgeon's account been put with the other papers?
mdp.39015063514643	Light colors are more easily seen in darkness, are n't they?
mdp.39015063514643	Little things told me — after all straws show which way the wind blows — don't they now?
mdp.39015063514643	MISSING 213 “ Might that be he?"
mdp.39015063514643	May I ask, then, whom you represent?"
mdp.39015063514643	May I rely implicitly upon your discretion, Inspector? ” Desmond gazed at Craig apprehen- sively.
mdp.39015063514643	Might I be permitted to glance at that again — do you happen to have it handy?"
mdp.39015063514643	Miss Ashley?"
mdp.39015063514643	Nice little windfall- eh, Sir Austin?"
mdp.39015063514643	No facts worth mentioning?"
mdp.39015063514643	No letter — or message?"
mdp.39015063514643	Now look at these, will you, Sergeant Banks?"
mdp.39015063514643	Now then — what's it all about?"
mdp.39015063514643	On leave?
mdp.39015063514643	On what evidence do you base that state- ment?
mdp.39015063514643	Or at least a similar message? ” The Inspector answered him readily.
mdp.39015063514643	Or did the room ever appear to be in darkness — I mean before you approached it on your way back?"
mdp.39015063514643	Or do you wish to question any of the people?
mdp.39015063514643	Or down there at Dyke's Crossing? ” “ That is what we have to discover."
mdp.39015063514643	Or let me put it like this — how far is Dyke's Crossing from that particular clump of trees where you think the car stopped?"
mdp.39015063514643	Or was it in its sequel"Rupert of Hentzau"?
mdp.39015063514643	Or were the keys discovered by accident?
mdp.39015063514643	Pre- historic sort of idea, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063514643	Proceed, Inspector, will you?
mdp.39015063514643	Proceed, will you?"
mdp.39015063514643	Put it a bit plainer — can't you?"
mdp.39015063514643	Run over?"
mdp.39015063514643	Seen anything of them since we were down there?"
mdp.39015063514643	Send for him, Inspector, will you please?"
mdp.39015063514643	Significant or fortui- tous?"
mdp.39015063514643	So you think this lady's dress was dark in color?"
mdp.39015063514643	Supposing for instance""Supposing what?"
mdp.39015063514643	Supposing the people concerned come back for it?
mdp.39015063514643	Surely Bathurst had not discerned signs of feehle life still flickering in this bruised and battered body?
mdp.39015063514643	Surely there ca n't be two opinions about it?
mdp.39015063514643	Surely there was no reason for any one< THE SECOND LETTER 93 of tfierfl to remain here?

mdp.39015063514643	Tell Major Prendergast we should like to see him, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063514643	That diminished the risk, did n't it?"
mdp.39015063514643	That is so — isn't it?"

mdp.39015063514643	The young lady wot lives up at Vernon'Ouse — the old boy's niece, was n't she?
mdp.39015063514643	This letter that has been handed to me — I understand it was found in here — you have no doubt that your uncle wrote it?"

mdp.39015063514643	To what profession did he belong?
mdp.39015063514643	Trentham — yes?"
mdp.39015063514643	True, it was unpaid, but surely it was not the only account of the Vernon House menage that was in that position at that period of the year?
mdp.39015063514643	Understand me?
mdp.39015063514643	Was he a man who wore many suits?
mdp.39015063514643	Was he obeying Sir Eustace's instruc- MAYOR OF MAPLETON IS RETICENT 161 tions?

mdp.39015063514643	Was there any- thing in these facts?

mdp.39015063514643	When did you see Deane last?"
mdp.39015063514643	When she accused a woman — surely the thoughts of all of you turned to the women in the house at the time?"
mdp.39015063514643	When you made this discovery were you aware of what had happened to Hammond?"

mdp.39015063514643	Who, for example, stood behind this curtain?"
mdp.39015063514643	Whom do you propose see- ing first, Craig?
mdp.39015063514643	Why blood inside the car?
mdp.39015063514643	Why did Hammond delay feeding that wretched dog for nearly two hours and a half?
mdp.39015063514643	Why did he wait and walk back, thereby wasting time, to say nothing of the inconvenience?
mdp.39015063514643	Why do you ask me?"
mdp.39015063514643	Why do you ask?
mdp.39015063514643	Why else?"
mdp.39015063514643	Why had Sam walked- had he been told, to?
mdp.39015063514643	Why not in a prominent place?"
mdp.39015063514643	Why should I have?"
mdp.39015063514643	Why talk of'influenza'-have you forgotten the night of January the eleventh last?
mdp.39015063514643	Why were they after the letter Sir Eustace had sent him?
mdp.39015063514643	Why — wot?"
mdp.39015063514643	Why?

mdp.39015063514643	Would you mind waiting here for a moment?"
mdp.39015063514643	You come as well, Stevens, will you?
mdp.39015063514643	You did not play, of course?"
mdp.39015063514643	You know of no enemies that Sir Eustace might have had?"
mdp.39015063514643	You know of nothing then worthy or important enough to be mentioned?"
mdp.39015063514643	You know of nothing, I presume, likely to help us in our investigations or to throw any further light on the matter?
mdp.39015063514643	You see my drift, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063514643	You see what I mean, do n't you?
mdp.39015063514643	You take command, will you, Major?
mdp.39015063514643	You think it's gone forever, then?"
mdp.39015063514643	You're not too busy, are you?"
mdp.39015063514643	You're quite sure that there's no trace of Sir Eustace — there's no place where he may be that you may have over- looked?"
mdp.39015063514643	You've'it the nail there all right and no mistake'ow did you know?"
mdp.39015063514643	asked Sir Austin- —"want to ask her anything?"
mdp.39015063514643	broke in Des- mond —"what's in your mind about McLaren?
mdp.39015063514643	cried Morris Trentham —"what on earth does that mean?
mdp.39015063514643	had rejoined Palmer ironically, but yet with a turn of seasonable wit —"gatherin'winter fuel?"
mdp.39015063514643	he asked with agitated lips —"any idea?"
mdp.39015063514643	he commented —"take charge of this, Doctor Tempest, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063514643	he exclaimed,"what was that?"
mdp.39015063514643	in color- were you able to see as much as that? ” “'E was, sir!
mdp.39015063514643	it the ordinary last to anything being “ Who brought it?"
mdp.39015063514643	queried Craig —"in what way do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	queried the Commissioner —"you know him then?
mdp.39015063514643	said Father Jewell, reverently crossing himself as he gazed at the dead body of Purvis,"is it suicide?"
mdp.39015063514643	up at once?
mdp.39015063514643	“ A woman? ” Craig nodded-emphatically.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Ah,"murmured Craigą“now we're getting to it, and how long did those few words take?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Allowing for the passage of time and general considerations of that kind — is that anything like Mr. Bradley Deane?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ An unknown benefactor- eh, Craig? ” he murmured.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Any more news abaht the crime, sir?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Are you sure of —?".
mdp.39015063514643	“ But where is uncle?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Can you say, by looking at it as it is, if anything has been taken, Miss Ashley? ” Helen shook her head- doubtfully.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Did you overtake anybody? ” Vernon House and here."
mdp.39015063514643	“ Explain what you mean — will you?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Found on Purvis? ” he cried.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Give me their names, Inspector, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Good gracious, Terry,"she exclaimed, “ look at the time whatever can it be to have kept Uncle Eustace all this time?
mdp.39015063514643	“ H'm,"he muttered again—"nothing stolen- eh? ” “ Miss Ashley thinks not, Inspector.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Hallo- what's this?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ I see, ” said Craig nodding—"a Mapleton man, I believe?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ I see,"observed Anthony—“you are aware, I pre- sume, that Sir Eustace was murdered on Christmas night?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Is there anybody else you would like to see now, sir? ” appealed Inspector Craig.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Let me have them, will you, Craig?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ May I take it, for instance, that Sir Eustace Vernon shared that view?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ None of your uncle's guests are gone, of course, Mr. Desmond?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Overtook you- do you mean? ” “ No- overtook me- no!
mdp.39015063514643	“ Payne,"he said to the man in question—"you were here a good many years with the late Mr. Damery, were n't you? ”"I was, sirover twenty.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Probable, do n't you think? ” countered Desmond.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Purvis a woman,"she repeated tonelessly—“I ca n't understand- “ The news then is a complete surprise to you?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ The grounds have been searched, you say?
mdp.39015063514643	“ This man- Bradley Deane- where is he now- do you know?
mdp.39015063514643	“ Unless what? ” broke in Sir Austin, with a touch of his habitual impatience.
mdp.39015063514643	“ Was that you who screamed, Palmer? ” he asked peremptorily.
mdp.39015063514643	“ What a mess of a man,"he muttered—“what is it, Bathurst- suicide?".
mdp.39015063514643	“ What are you going to do, Ruby?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ What can she do?
mdp.39015063514643	“ What exactly do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ What is this gentleman's name? ” demanded the Inspector.
mdp.39015063514643	“ What sort of a man was he to look at?
mdp.39015063514643	“ What time was it that this happened?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Where was Venables after din- ner last night?
mdp.39015063514643	“ Wot's she goin'to do abaht it?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Yes? ” murmured Mr. Bathurst- his grey eyes alight with excitement-"you've discovered something-what have you to tell us?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ Yes? ” murmured Mr. Bathurst- his grey eyes alight with excitement-"you've discovered something-what have you to tell us?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ You are Stevens, the late Sir Eustace Vernon's chauffeur? ” “ Quite right, sir.
mdp.39015063514643	“ You can take it from me — there's not a vestige of doubt about it is there, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063514643	“ You knew of the existence of this safe in the wall here, of course? ” inquired the Major.
mdp.39015063514643	“'Ow's the young lady gettin'on?
mdp.39015063514643	• Is that you?
mdp.39015063552015	Ah, another name?
mdp.39015063552015	An occasion, Mr. Towne, is it not? mdp.39015063552015 And Giroff, and Dr. Marsac, too,"he murmured,"have already been about?"
mdp.39015063552015	And it lay — so? mdp.39015063552015 And she will explain, I am sure?"
mdp.39015063552015	And so it happened that you did not see them?
mdp.39015063552015	And you did n't want them to come finding us?
mdp.39015063552015	And you were first to observe it? mdp.39015063552015 Are we not here?
mdp.39015063552015	Are you sure? mdp.39015063552015 Be merciful to whom?"
mdp.39015063552015	Beyond that I am Basil Towne, American, as you have discovered, what shall I say? mdp.39015063552015 Blackmailer, you say?
mdp.39015063552015	But what is it? mdp.39015063552015 But where have you been?"
mdp.39015063552015	But who shall describe a pearl?
mdp.39015063552015	But who? mdp.39015063552015 But why does he take the plight of Miss Jacqueline so calmly?"
mdp.39015063552015	But why — why did he warn me off the Lower road that night? mdp.39015063552015 But you will believe me, wo n't you, that if this had to be — it is here, tonight, that I belong?"
mdp.39015063552015	Ca n't we go to Giroff together? mdp.39015063552015 Could he have known that you were in the house?"
mdp.39015063552015	Did he — find — anything?
mdp.39015063552015	Did you descend to open the gate yourself?
mdp.39015063552015	Do n't you think,he said, gently,"that it would be better for you not to go in — while I tell them?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do we discuss her?
mdp.39015063552015	Do you believe it? mdp.39015063552015 Do you include all death?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do you not recognize, then, the house to which I am taking you?
mdp.39015063552015	Do you think she wrote it?
mdp.39015063552015	Do you use a perfume, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015063552015	Does it mean that they got Marsac?
mdp.39015063552015	Else you would have done otherwise, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	From that I would gather that Miss Jacqueline's father has lived in India?
mdp.39015063552015	Giroff has not presented his respects?
mdp.39015063552015	Give him a chance to escape? mdp.39015063552015 He found the crystal swan?"
mdp.39015063552015	He has found him?
mdp.39015063552015	He, The Man With The Duck's Bill?
mdp.39015063552015	His mind refuses to be else than horticultural, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	How much have they told you,she demanded in her toneless voice,"of the event which attached its his- tory to this house?"
mdp.39015063552015	How much of what I might whisper in your ear would you take to Mademoiselle Ogilvie?
mdp.39015063552015	I asked you a moment ago — you did n't no- tice — if Mr. Ogilvie was ill then?
mdp.39015063552015	I asked you to assume, remember? mdp.39015063552015 I fancy he would not dismiss me,"he said,"but if he should, may I not remain, nevertheless?
mdp.39015063552015	I have been wondering,Basil declared,"if I'm not being dogged by bad luck?
mdp.39015063552015	I think you stated that she did not speak?
mdp.39015063552015	I, Dr. Marsac? mdp.39015063552015 If I find it inconvenient?"
mdp.39015063552015	If you know,he snapped, angrily,"why waste time with useless questions?"
mdp.39015063552015	Is there a bit of brandy on the table, or could we have some? mdp.39015063552015 It is for the living you feel, is n't it, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063552015	It's a soft and delicate hand, is n't it, Mr. Towne? mdp.39015063552015 Jacqueline — will you not explain?
mdp.39015063552015	Mademoiselle Fanya Vidal,Giroff's voice emerged from under the moustachios,"who killed the Baroness Hilda von Stromberg?"
mdp.39015063552015	Mademoiselle can arrange, is it not so, hospitality for her guests? mdp.39015063552015 Mademoiselle did not leave you, she was not gone from you, until you came upon the balcony?"
mdp.39015063552015	Me, alone?
mdp.39015063552015	Mr. Bath and Mademoiselle emerged from the drawing room?
mdp.39015063552015	My dear sir, what is there to know? mdp.39015063552015 Of what can he suspect Miss Ogilvie?
mdp.39015063552015	Please do n't tell me,he begged,"that because I am an American you are sorry to have interfered with the clubby plans of my departed friends?
mdp.39015063552015	Shall I go for more lights?
mdp.39015063552015	She did not come back, to change those candles, for example?
mdp.39015063552015	She did not return, while you waited at the door, outside, perhaps, for something she had forgotten?
mdp.39015063552015	Should n't he be prepared, while I am talking to Giroff?
mdp.39015063552015	Since you seem to be informed of my customs,Bath snapped,"why discuss them?
mdp.39015063552015	Sorry for an evening with you, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015063552015	Still troubling with your riddles?
mdp.39015063552015	Such a little thing, gentlemen,he said in great good humor,"to separate two worlds, this and the next, is it not?"
mdp.39015063552015	The Great Giroff is close, this time, upon the heels of his quarry, is n't he?
mdp.39015063552015	The Mademoiselle Ogilvie, to whom you wish to return, infatuates you?
mdp.39015063552015	The Swan,he said,"is a young and beautiful woman, for what may we say of any woman and re- main polite, save that she is young and beautiful?
mdp.39015063552015	The candle — that is to say — gardenias?
mdp.39015063552015	The surviving lady, eh, Inspector? mdp.39015063552015 Then you realize that every moment of delay is danger to you?
mdp.39015063552015	Was Mr. Ogilvie ill then?—But I hope you do n't THE HOUSE OF MURDER 171 mind my asking so many questions? mdp.39015063552015 Was that desire prompted by the wish to assure yourself that the Baroness actually was in possession of the pearls?
mdp.39015063552015	Were you able to tell Giroff,he asked,"anything of that curious underground corridor?
mdp.39015063552015	What are you driving at?
mdp.39015063552015	What have you found?
mdp.39015063552015	What in the devil are you driving at? mdp.39015063552015 What is it you Americans say?
mdp.39015063552015	What is it?
mdp.39015063552015	What terrible thing was in this little devil's mind?
mdp.39015063552015	What was it Lacrosse's right- hand man said of this chap from the Paris Bureau? mdp.39015063552015 What's that?"
mdp.39015063552015	When you and the Mademoi- selle came into the patio did Mademoiselle leave you?
mdp.39015063552015	When you returned to the dining room with Mademoiselle, who was absent?
mdp.39015063552015	Where had Dr. Marsac been when he took Jacque- line in, after the apparition of Giroff?
mdp.39015063552015	Where is she, Mademoiselle? mdp.39015063552015 Where, in that darkened house of unoccupied wings, could he have been, and why?
mdp.39015063552015	Who I am? mdp.39015063552015 Who are you?"
mdp.39015063552015	Who killed Manton?
mdp.39015063552015	Who left it on the table in this room, for Made- moiselle Vidal to find at a timely moment?
mdp.39015063552015	Who remained — in the dining room?
mdp.39015063552015	Who — for God's sake, who?
mdp.39015063552015	Who's that? mdp.39015063552015 Who, my dear?
mdp.39015063552015	Why be so mysterious?
mdp.39015063552015	Why did you not deliver the message?
mdp.39015063552015	Why did you not put the breathing one onto the couch? mdp.39015063552015 Why was Manton killed, Mademoiselle, if not for the Harlequin pearls?
mdp.39015063552015	Why was there a conflict between brother and sister over the source of the bit of paper on which was the handwriting of Mademoiselle Ogilvie? mdp.39015063552015 Why?"
mdp.39015063552015	Will she be with us? mdp.39015063552015 Will you tell me why you, who belonged to Manton, would have thus betrayed him?
mdp.39015063552015	Wo n't you finish?
mdp.39015063552015	Would you not like to have them? mdp.39015063552015 You do n't mean?"
mdp.39015063552015	You have visited the room of the green lamp? mdp.39015063552015 You killed him, did n't you, because your fevered brain believed that he had permitted your Swan to die?
mdp.39015063552015	You know something of him, then, on your own account?
mdp.39015063552015	You mean something by that; may I know what?
mdp.39015063552015	You mean that you doubt the servant's explana- tion?
mdp.39015063552015	You mean, actually,asked Basil,"that she has suc- ceeded in mystifying the police — through a whole series of these crimes?"
mdp.39015063552015	You returned to the room before you met Guil- laume, the servant? mdp.39015063552015 You said, I believe, that he had been hiding here- abouts?
mdp.39015063552015	You say that in this case were the Harlequin pearls?
mdp.39015063552015	You say, her — murderers?
mdp.39015063552015	You sincerely believe, then, that there is no Swan?
mdp.39015063552015	You slept? mdp.39015063552015 You will show me the way?"
mdp.39015063552015	You will take me up to him now?
mdp.39015063552015	You, Mademoiselle Fanya Vidal, were the mistress of Jules Manton?
mdp.39015063552015	You, Monsieur Bath, were to provide the Sefior with his money? mdp.39015063552015 You, also, will affect a perfume?"
mdp.39015063552015	You, sir, left this room to go into the patio with Mademoiselle Vidal? mdp.39015063552015 Your man — the other Giroff?
mdp.39015063552015	183 184 GARDENIAS AGAIN"You believe, do n't you, Jacqueline?"
mdp.39015063552015	63 THE HOUSE OF MURDER if he would n't loan you money when you needed it?
mdp.39015063552015	88 THE SWAN SPEAKS AGAIN"Who the devil?"
mdp.39015063552015	A rendezvous to which she had come in low evening gown, with neither wrap nor scarve, and with a gun ready to bark viciously?
mdp.39015063552015	A super sleuth of some sort?"
mdp.39015063552015	A third person of whom both Guillaume and Mademoi- selle knew, and would outwit?
mdp.39015063552015	A third person who was — and is — in this house?
mdp.39015063552015	Again I am right?"
mdp.39015063552015	Again that abrupt"Why?"
mdp.39015063552015	Am I not thoughtful of the prerogatives of the police, my friend?"
mdp.39015063552015	Am I understood?"
mdp.39015063552015	Ameri- can, hey?
mdp.39015063552015	And abstracted from the pockets of his victim the rare jewels?
mdp.39015063552015	And autopsy?
mdp.39015063552015	And had both Cardoza and Bath remained in the dining room while he was absent?
mdp.39015063552015	And her henchman, the Duck's Bill?
mdp.39015063552015	And in any event, if he investigate farther, what would he come upon?
mdp.39015063552015	And in the depths of him — what?"
mdp.39015063552015	And now, if you please — will you repeat your account of what happened this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063552015	And now?
mdp.39015063552015	And safe?
mdp.39015063552015	And then she asked quietly:"You'd hide them?
mdp.39015063552015	And this other man?
mdp.39015063552015	And was himself killed for them?"
mdp.39015063552015	And while Dr. Marsac was absent?
mdp.39015063552015	And why should she make them so impossible by that cold, hard warning that he must n't spread"traps?"
mdp.39015063552015	And you are — what?"
mdp.39015063552015	Anything of the affair in the Lower road, of Guillaume?
mdp.39015063552015	Are you all right?"
mdp.39015063552015	Are you prepared, sir?"
mdp.39015063552015	Basil had begun, at these signs, to ask himself each 134 THE MURDERER OF THE BARONESS time: Will he, or will he not?
mdp.39015063552015	Basil tried to initiate a conversation of some sort and ven- tured:"You have, of course, met Mr. Ogilvie, Miss Ogilvie's father?
mdp.39015063552015	Basil went on:"You wished to see me alone?
mdp.39015063552015	Bath exclaimed:"What has your Swan to do with all of this?"
mdp.39015063552015	Before Basil could reply to the doctor's cynicism, Fanya Vidal murmured:"And you, dear Doctor?
mdp.39015063552015	But I am anxious — you did sleep?"
mdp.39015063552015	But because Who, in that house, had the Harlequin pearls?
mdp.39015063552015	But did I not wt> n you that you would tell me much, without words?
mdp.39015063552015	But have you forgotten that you are on an official inquiry, and not here to perform like a mountebank, with an array of pilfered divinations?"
mdp.39015063552015	But if he was taking care of himself, how would he welcome interference?
mdp.39015063552015	But is it?"
mdp.39015063552015	But may I not know?"
mdp.39015063552015	But one does n't talk of the sunlight with servants, do they, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063552015	But was he in his quarters?
mdp.39015063552015	But what can he have to do with the house — or, I mean, its people?"
mdp.39015063552015	But what could there be in that? Of what interest to such a one as she?
mdp.39015063552015	But what could there be in that? Of what interest to such a one as she?
mdp.39015063552015	But what does he know?
mdp.39015063552015	But what would that signify?
mdp.39015063552015	But who — or do you know — was in danger from him?"
mdp.39015063552015	But you were saying? Ah, yes!
mdp.39015063552015	But, wo n't you tell me more, before we go in, of what happened — or how — in this house?"
mdp.39015063552015	Can such a drama be pos- sible?"
mdp.39015063552015	Can you make it, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063552015	Can you not imagine The Great Giroff chort- ling?"
mdp.39015063552015	Can you tell me that, Senor Conde de Treyagua?"
mdp.39015063552015	Chapter Seventeen"WHERE DID HE GO?"
mdp.39015063552015	Could Dr. Marsac know more than he pretended of the House of Murder?
mdp.39015063552015	Could Manton have served The Swan at the home of the Baroness, and been removed by her, THE HOUSE OF MURDER 143 or in spite of her, tonight?
mdp.39015063552015	Could it be possible that the man was, actually, taking a strut?
mdp.39015063552015	Death nar- rows the field, does it not?"
mdp.39015063552015	Did I not, when I departed as her friend, and before I became the agent of police as medical examiner — did I not lift her fingers to my lips?"
mdp.39015063552015	Did she intend it to have a meaning?
mdp.39015063552015	Did you know of them?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do Cardoza, and Bath, know of the — ashes?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do we not observe an interesting company?
mdp.39015063552015	Do you attend, sir, while I trace events?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do you hear?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do you mean — you know why they came here, to the Ogilvie house, with Miss Ogilvie as their hostess?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do you pardon my curiosity?"
mdp.39015063552015	Do you think I can answer your questions?
mdp.39015063552015	Eh?
mdp.39015063552015	Eh?
mdp.39015063552015	Eh?"
mdp.39015063552015	English people usually stick to their own, do n't they?"
mdp.39015063552015	Fanya murmured sympathy, and added:"Was it a ghost in the patio?
mdp.39015063552015	For Miss Ogilvie?
mdp.39015063552015	For he hated Manton for 175 THE HOUSE OF MURDER 177 there?
mdp.39015063552015	Good fortune for the policeman, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	Guillaume?
mdp.39015063552015	Had he been too late?
mdp.39015063552015	Had it better not be you?
mdp.39015063552015	Had she THE HOUSE OF MURDER 235 really concealed that"G"for a purpose?
mdp.39015063552015	Had the little runt been looking for one or more murderers, with his flashlight, in the grass?
mdp.39015063552015	Had the murderer reached his retreat ahead of him?
mdp.39015063552015	Has he solved it — does he know?"
mdp.39015063552015	Have seen them?"
mdp.39015063552015	Have they, this time, reached the nest that hatches the little swans?"
mdp.39015063552015	Have two while you're about it, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	Have you a light?
mdp.39015063552015	Have you been told that she is mysteriously gone from the house?
mdp.39015063552015	Have you discov- ered how?"
mdp.39015063552015	He could only exclaim:"You knew that?"
mdp.39015063552015	He could utter only a mystified"What — who?"
mdp.39015063552015	He is good- naturedly sad only because of the unhappiness, suffering perhaps, that is caused to someone who remains alive?"
mdp.39015063552015	He muttered, under his breath, but Basil heard:"There is no sense to it, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	He said, sharply:"You'll not be calling that progress?
mdp.39015063552015	He thought she would fall, even while he called to her:"What is it?"
mdp.39015063552015	He tried to strangle you?
mdp.39015063552015	His eye- brows had risen to their accustomed Vs."He did not have them?"
mdp.39015063552015	How could one solve the other?
mdp.39015063552015	How had she delivered it?
mdp.39015063552015	I am right?"
mdp.39015063552015	I am right?"
mdp.39015063552015	I did not say""You did not say, Monsieur Towne?
mdp.39015063552015	If she had been spared, and the pearls come to you, what then?
mdp.39015063552015	If you knew that this man, Manton, was mixed up with the Harle- quin pearls, why were you not here to act sooner?"
mdp.39015063552015	If you re- fuse to be sad at the spectacle of death, will you not realize that one who lives may be in this house in a worse state than death?"
mdp.39015063552015	In the shrubbery?"
mdp.39015063552015	In the thin air, I think it was?
mdp.39015063552015	In this house?
mdp.39015063552015	Inform you?"
mdp.39015063552015	Is it not galling?
mdp.39015063552015	Is it not so?"
mdp.39015063552015	Is it not so?"
mdp.39015063552015	Is it not sufficient that I am again free?
mdp.39015063552015	Is it not that there must have been a third person, that one to whom Manton expected to safely deliver the jewels?
mdp.39015063552015	Is it possible that Guillaume, though he had not killed Manton, had possessed himself of Manton's stolen pearls?
mdp.39015063552015	Is n't it probable she was com- pelled to write it?"
mdp.39015063552015	Is not the murder of the Baroness von Stromberg our concern?"
mdp.39015063552015	Is that not interesting?"
mdp.39015063552015	It was Giroff?"
mdp.39015063552015	Just what could the jovial custodian of death be up to?
mdp.39015063552015	Let me help you?
mdp.39015063552015	Let us repeat:'The candle — that is to say — gardenias?'"
mdp.39015063552015	Like Manton?"
mdp.39015063552015	Mademoiselle Ogilvie is charming this morning, is she not, sir, frocked in the white of innocence?"
mdp.39015063552015	Manton?"
mdp.39015063552015	Marsac calls them, riddles?"
mdp.39015063552015	May I ask you to confine yourself to that matter?"
mdp.39015063552015	Must we have mockeries again?
mdp.39015063552015	My as- sistant will remain with her, if you suggest it?
mdp.39015063552015	My brother medical examiners who have had the pleasure 36 A LADY OF DEATH that I like the ladies I serve to be less resourceful than your Swan?"
mdp.39015063552015	My father and I have only now returned again,"He exclaimed, earnestly:"But not this time to go away — so soon?"
mdp.39015063552015	My relation to this house?
mdp.39015063552015	Needed it, let us say very badly?"
mdp.39015063552015	Never had Basil Towne been invited to dinner so coldly, but he replied instantly:"Shall I follow in my own car?
mdp.39015063552015	No sense to Giroff then, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	No trace of anyone else?
mdp.39015063552015	Nothing else, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063552015	Of Basil he inquired, quizzically:"Is not that, then, an indigestive riddle?
mdp.39015063552015	Of The Man With iS3 154 THE FIEND UNDERGROUND The Duck's Bill whose handiwork lay stark in the dark room of the front wing?
mdp.39015063552015	Of the crystal swans?
mdp.39015063552015	Of the diamond chain?
mdp.39015063552015	Of what?"
mdp.39015063552015	Ogilvie's?"
mdp.39015063552015	Ogilvie?"
mdp.39015063552015	On one side, its lid closed?"
mdp.39015063552015	On the path?
mdp.39015063552015	One should not count you friend until, in an emergency, you should have put the right powder into a pill, or your scalpel into the cor- rect spot?"
mdp.39015063552015	Or a clue of some kind?
mdp.39015063552015	Or am I to ride with you?"
mdp.39015063552015	Or ca n't I go — now?"
mdp.39015063552015	Or did she discover it, as he did, in the dining room?
mdp.39015063552015	Or did you wish to be certain of their value?"
mdp.39015063552015	Or not until after?"
mdp.39015063552015	Or should he wait — upon Giroff?
mdp.39015063552015	Or was he attuning his senses to the weird hush?
mdp.39015063552015	Or was it in time?
mdp.39015063552015	Or was the good doctor hav- ing one of his pleasantries at the expense of one who, he knew, was on edge the whole evening?
mdp.39015063552015	Or would you be uncomfortable in the com- pany of a young woman who routed your assailants for you?"
mdp.39015063552015	Out of the way of what?
mdp.39015063552015	Perhaps she is a witness to — something, eh?"
mdp.39015063552015	Probably Giroff — but why then, thought Basil, were his nerves on edge, his whole body tense?
mdp.39015063552015	Relatives 146 IN THE PATIO of Manton to notify — and what had brought Manton here?
mdp.39015063552015	Satisfied, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063552015	Save who?
mdp.39015063552015	She has laughed again, am I not right?
mdp.39015063552015	So Giroff had known, too, that Guillaume had been the masked bandit in the road?
mdp.39015063552015	So Giroff laid down that card, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	So someone else was ex- pected?
mdp.39015063552015	So, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063552015	Someone else besides the inspector was in the 164"WHERE DID HE GO?"
mdp.39015063552015	Struck the nail on the top, eh?"
mdp.39015063552015	THE HOUSE OF MURDER 127"I, Giroff?
mdp.39015063552015	THE HOUSE OF MURDER 131"And you, Mademoiselle?"
mdp.39015063552015	That is what you would say, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552015	That it would be — quite all right?"
mdp.39015063552015	That other, in the yard?
mdp.39015063552015	That she should fear?
mdp.39015063552015	That she was heard to scream?"
mdp.39015063552015	The Baroness?
mdp.39015063552015	The Inspector was demanding:"But no footprints?
mdp.39015063552015	The crystal swan was the riddle that first of all must be solved — to whom did that point?
mdp.39015063552015	The gardenias?"
mdp.39015063552015	The girl demanded aloud, with fine scorn:"Are not all of you Americans rich, then?"
mdp.39015063552015	The grass?
mdp.39015063552015	Then he asked:"What shall you tell him of me?"
mdp.39015063552015	They were in the possession of someone else, eh?
mdp.39015063552015	Through whom?
mdp.39015063552015	To appear at the library window?
mdp.39015063552015	To be remem- bered, not so?"
mdp.39015063552015	Towne?"
mdp.39015063552015	Towne?"
mdp.39015063552015	Was Giroff merely"let- ting off steam"when he charged that The Lady of Death was in this house?
mdp.39015063552015	Was he forgetting that someone in the house had tried to kill him a minute before?
mdp.39015063552015	Was he right?
mdp.39015063552015	Was it Guillaume who administered the garotte of the jungle Nogas to Manton?
mdp.39015063552015	Was it not that Mademoiselle, who shoots so straight, would have taken for herself the Harlequin pearls from her guest, Manton?
mdp.39015063552015	Was it the same"someone else"Jacqueline had looked for in the Lower road when she came to his rescue in her red Renault, her automatic ready?
mdp.39015063552015	Was there anything between her and Manton?
mdp.39015063552015	Were the dark eyes in the pale face staring at him mockingly?
mdp.39015063552015	What brought you, last night, into the Lower road?
mdp.39015063552015	What could he be doing so long?
mdp.39015063552015	What could it all mean?
mdp.39015063552015	What did you do?"
mdp.39015063552015	What did you want of me the other morn- ing — and what are you about tonight?"
mdp.39015063552015	What does it all mean?"
mdp.39015063552015	What if there was someone in the patio?
mdp.39015063552015	What is be- hind it all?"
mdp.39015063552015	What should he say?
mdp.39015063552015	What sort of rendez- vous had she expected, there in the fragrant isolation of the winding Lower road?
mdp.39015063552015	What the purpose, now, in the exaggerated politeness which he was n't capable of making even sound sincere?
mdp.39015063552015	What traps could there be?
mdp.39015063552015	What was Giroff doing about her?
mdp.39015063552015	What was it the medical examiner had said about Giroff's riddle?
mdp.39015063552015	What was stored about her, about the rest of these people, back in the head of the fantastic little satan?
mdp.39015063552015	What will you say if I present you a thief who is the perfect match to the Harlequin pearls — like them, the greatest in her class?
mdp.39015063552015	What would Giroff ask him?
mdp.39015063552015	What would you say to that, In- spector?"
mdp.39015063552015	What you found was — yes?"
mdp.39015063552015	What's he done?"
mdp.39015063552015	What?
mdp.39015063552015	When Basil was beside him, Giroff murmured:"Bend low, Monsieur, do you not discover them?"
mdp.39015063552015	When?"
mdp.39015063552015	Where THE HOUSE OF MURDER 129 are the Harlequin pearls?
mdp.39015063552015	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063552015	Where was he?
mdp.39015063552015	Which one protected the other?
mdp.39015063552015	Who is The Swan?"
mdp.39015063552015	Who is next?"
mdp.39015063552015	Who knows?
mdp.39015063552015	Who spoke to me at my garage?"
mdp.39015063552015	Who was it you wished to save through depriving him of the Harlequins?"
mdp.39015063552015	Who, Inspector, would you prefer above all others to be your thief of the Harlequins?"
mdp.39015063552015	Why are you so certain she is safe?"
mdp.39015063552015	Why do n't he look at me?"
mdp.39015063552015	Why do you not make her talk?"
mdp.39015063552015	Why does Manton desire the arrangements made here, in this house?"
mdp.39015063552015	Why had he been at so much pains, in the reception room, to sneer at Basil's interest in Jacqueline?
mdp.39015063552015	Why have I brought you here?
mdp.39015063552015	Why should she not be confided in?
mdp.39015063552015	Why was Giroff in the cellars?
mdp.39015063552015	Why will he not act?"
mdp.39015063552015	Why, if not for the Harlequin pearls of which she, as you have told me so plainly, was possessed?
mdp.39015063552015	Why?
mdp.39015063552015	Why?"
mdp.39015063552015	Will it be enough, for a little while?"
mdp.39015063552015	Will you not help us — or me! — that much?"
mdp.39015063552015	Will you tell me, Mademoiselle, what becomes of the second gardenia — when there is but one in the Chinese vase?"
mdp.39015063552015	With a murdered man in the yard, and a houseful of guests, overwrought?"
mdp.39015063552015	Wo n't you go farther?"
mdp.39015063552015	Wo n't you, my dear one, confide?
mdp.39015063552015	Would she tell?
mdp.39015063552015	Would there be an inquest?
mdp.39015063552015	Yes?"
mdp.39015063552015	You are not hurt, then?"
mdp.39015063552015	You do not mind?
mdp.39015063552015	You have gathered, I be- lieve, that I talked for a purpose?"
mdp.39015063552015	You have informed Monsieur Ogilvie of the fate of Guil- laume?"
mdp.39015063552015	You have stated that you were sent to France by an American syndicate — did you say, from Massachusetts?"
mdp.39015063552015	You just ca n't help wondering how it can shoot so straight, can you?"
mdp.39015063552015	You know them?"
mdp.39015063552015	You meant — the Harlequin pearls, and the Baroness von Stromberg?"
mdp.39015063552015	You prefer to gloat over it in secret with yourself, eh?"
mdp.39015063552015	You were wondering about the two crystal swans, but different murderers?
mdp.39015063552015	You will tell me what you know of Fanya Vidal?"
mdp.39015063552015	You'd keep them from him?
mdp.39015063552015	You'd take that guilt to yourself to protect me?
mdp.39015063552015	You'll be driving along the coast tonight, maybe?"
mdp.39015063512316	All right for me to start? ” he asked. mdp.39015063512316 And Mr. Wiseman — what sort of a man was he?
mdp.39015063512316	And then? ” “ I shall look for more finger- prints in the inspection- chamber. mdp.39015063512316 And who benefits under his will, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Brown boiler suits or overalls? ” “ Not as a rule. mdp.39015063512316 But I thought Mr. Wiseman's death was perfectly nat- ural? ” A shadow of anxiety passed across the solicitor's face.
mdp.39015063512316	But where do you send the money? ” “ Until a couple of years ago, we sent it to various ad- dresses of which Hugh advised us. mdp.39015063512316 By the way, did you happen to be in last Tuesday after- noon?
mdp.39015063512316	By the way,he said suddenly, sitting up with a start,"did you see Miss Prillkins the other night?"
mdp.39015063512316	Can you do anything here? mdp.39015063512316 Did he say anything?"
mdp.39015063512316	Did you examine him?
mdp.39015063512316	Do n't you know that? mdp.39015063512316 Do you know anything of Mr. Wiseman's affairs? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063512316	Do you think I was talking to Chandler for fun just now? mdp.39015063512316 Feel all right?"
mdp.39015063512316	Got anything on Brimsgrove yet, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	How did the bloke get in last night to monkey with that door? ” he asked fiercely, looking at the scars on the cellulosed surface. mdp.39015063512316 How do they dress? ”"Same as any other fitters.
mdp.39015063512316	How on earth...? mdp.39015063512316 How?"
mdp.39015063512316	Hydrogenation?
mdp.39015063512316	I do n't see- Yes? ” Cross shouted irritably as there was a tap at the door. mdp.39015063512316 I know I have no right to ask, but do those statements implicate any specific person? ” The inspector rubbed his nose a little harder.
mdp.39015063512316	I suppose he took technical advice before backing it?
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder what he uses this room for? ” Johnny mused. mdp.39015063512316 Inflamed did you say, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	Is she in?
mdp.39015063512316	Is that all? ” he asked. mdp.39015063512316 Is there anything else you want to do here? ” he asked, stuffing his note- book and Hunt's report into a capacious pocket.
mdp.39015063512316	It was a lady who wanted me to come, was n't it? ” he asked. mdp.39015063512316 Law of supply and demand, eh?
mdp.39015063512316	Meaning? ”. mdp.39015063512316 Miss Prillkins?
mdp.39015063512316	Mr. Holmes not about? ”. mdp.39015063512316 Nimmo?
mdp.39015063512316	No, sir, the experienced, slightly cynical eye of the man of the world. ”Really? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Now I sup- pose we arrest Chandler? ” “ We do. mdp.39015063512316 Oh?
mdp.39015063512316	On the whole he was n't too bad, then? ” “ No, sir. mdp.39015063512316 Police, eh?
mdp.39015063512316	Remember the Comprehensive Treatise, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	Shall I open up now? ” he asked. mdp.39015063512316 Shall I take it out now? ” Williams inquired.
mdp.39015063512316	Sure they're the same? ” “ No doubt about it, sir. mdp.39015063512316 Surely the relief valet, Richards, would have recognized him?"
mdp.39015063512316	The Sion House job? mdp.39015063512316 The complete Mellor, which suggests Brimsgrove's story about finding the sketch was shall we say out of focus, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	The one- way eye of the scientific observer? ” Cross queried maliciously. mdp.39015063512316 Then what about Nimmo and your idea that Brims- grove and Chandler were collaborating?"
mdp.39015063512316	There was a man at work on Tuesday afternoon and Wiseman died on Thursday morning? mdp.39015063512316 Upset?
mdp.39015063512316	Well, what've you found? mdp.39015063512316 Well, where have we got to?"
mdp.39015063512316	What about the label? ” “ Damn the label! mdp.39015063512316 What information can I give you, Inspector?
mdp.39015063512316	What is all this about?
mdp.39015063512316	What is it, anyway? ” he asked. mdp.39015063512316 What on earth are you talking about? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	What's the hurry? ” “ The office. ” Cross's reply was short. mdp.39015063512316 Where does this man hold court? ” “ Down by the Crystal Palace- Sydenham Hill.
mdp.39015063512316	Why are all our public buildings such monuments of bad planning, Sergeant? ” he asked. mdp.39015063512316 Why the hell do you want to waste time talking to that old antimacassar? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015063512316	Why the lecture, sir? ”. mdp.39015063512316 Why the third?"
mdp.39015063512316	Wo n't you sit down? mdp.39015063512316 Would you mind sketching that last bit for me?
mdp.39015063512316	Yes, sir? ” “ Do n't compromise her. mdp.39015063512316 You can tell us nothing about Mr. Wiseman, sir, beyond what you've said? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063512316	You do n't know the address, I suppose, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	You do n't say so? mdp.39015063512316 You mean to say there's something fishy here? ”"I do, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	You prefer me to make a fool of myself on my own, sir? ” Johnny smiled happily. mdp.39015063512316 You're familiar with the stuff, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	156 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM “ Expecting Heppelwhite's report on Gillings, sir? ” “ I hope it'll be there.
mdp.39015063512316	176 BATHROOM u a F F AIR INI?
mdp.39015063512316	224 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM member how he came along after a display of ignorance on our first and only interview?"
mdp.39015063512316	234 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM"If I can, Inspector. ”"Can you describe the man who was in the corridor on Tuesday?"
mdp.39015063512316	38 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM “ Are you sure of that?
mdp.39015063512316	42 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM “ Kill him, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	A kind of venturi. ” “ What's that for?"
mdp.39015063512316	After all our work and all our brilliant deduction?
mdp.39015063512316	After all, you'd get another job easy, would n't you? ”"To be sure, I would.
mdp.39015063512316	After that?
mdp.39015063512316	And by the bye, sir, ought n't we to see Holmes to find out if he can tell us anything?"
mdp.39015063512316	And if ozone is used for air- conditioning, as you say it is on the tubes, could n't it be used here and too much have got in?"
mdp.39015063512316	And now you're investigating it? ”"That's so, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	And this gentleman? ” “ My assistant, sir- Sergeant Lamb."
mdp.39015063512316	Another snag?
mdp.39015063512316	Any ideas? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Any other suggestions? ” “ Well, the size of the cylinder could be reduced if the gas was put under pressure.
mdp.39015063512316	Anything else?".
mdp.39015063512316	Anything more? ”"Not much, except that the Princes Street people are also on Brimsgrove's tail for something or other.
mdp.39015063512316	Anything worrying you? ”"No, I'm all right.
mdp.39015063512316	Apart from that, there are some odd things about Nimmo I'd like to find out. ”"How do you mean?"
mdp.39015063512316	Are n't we entitled to break it open?"
mdp.39015063512316	Are n't you hungry yet?
mdp.39015063512316	Are they going to report as soon as Brimsgrove's picked up?"
mdp.39015063512316	Are you? ”"That depends on what the doctors say.
mdp.39015063512316	At least you'll grant me that? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Between you and me and the gate- post, what would you do? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Bit funny, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063512316	Brimsgrove?
mdp.39015063512316	But am I always to be at school? ” His tone was rather querulous.
mdp.39015063512316	But each to his taste, I suppose, Inspector, hey?
mdp.39015063512316	But in how many murder cases has the victim's doctor not been deceived?
mdp.39015063512316	But why not the fading?"
mdp.39015063512316	But why-?".
mdp.39015063512316	But you did n't notice any new smell that morning?"
mdp.39015063512316	Ca n't we get a search warrant?"
mdp.39015063512316	Ca n't you help us a little?
mdp.39015063512316	Can I go now?"
mdp.39015063512316	Can I have his record turned up for you?"
mdp.39015063512316	Can I leave you to lock up and put out the cat, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Can I offer you any refresh- ment before you go? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Can you arrange for me to see him in the morning?"
mdp.39015063512316	Can you describe the man? ”"Carn't say as I noticed'i m pertickler.
mdp.39015063512316	Can you give us any information? ” “ He came here on the recommendation of a Mr. Porter, one of our directors.
mdp.39015063512316	Can you remember? ”"Oh, ca n't you leave off?
mdp.39015063512316	Can you remember? ”"Oh, ca n't you leave off?
mdp.39015063512316	Can you tell me if they were friendly at all? ”"I hardly think they were friendly.
mdp.39015063512316	Can you? ” SERGEANT LAMB RECEIVES SUPPORT 181 “ I might guess, sir, but I'd rather not. ” Johnny smirked unctuously.
mdp.39015063512316	Chapman?
mdp.39015063512316	Cigarettes? ” He extended a slim gold case towards them, and, when they had lighted up, returned to his seat at the big desk.
mdp.39015063512316	Coughing and spluttering as he al- ways did. ”"Did he seem specially bad? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Could it be proved? ” “ We can see, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Could n't these effects come from something else — some- thing in Wiseman's medicines, say, and he took an over- dose?
mdp.39015063512316	Could n't we send Heppelwhite down? ” “ That's worth considering, Lamb.
mdp.39015063512316	Could you help us, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Did Heppelwhite find this clerk? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Did he give any trouble- I mean, upset the servants or anything like that? ”"He was a bit sharp with them at times.
mdp.39015063512316	Did he take great care of it?"
mdp.39015063512316	Did you ever open them? ” “ Oh yes, sir, when he was n't there, though he would've been cross if he'd known.
mdp.39015063512316	Did you have the man waiting downstairs? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Did you keep it? ” The man wrinkled his brow in an effort of memory.
mdp.39015063512316	Did you know we were engaged on a case at Sion House? ” “ Sion House?
mdp.39015063512316	Did you know we were engaged on a case at Sion House? ” “ Sion House?
mdp.39015063512316	Did you notice any particular smell that morning?"
mdp.39015063512316	Did you oversleep yourself? ” Johnny shook his head.
mdp.39015063512316	Did you see his look when he spoke of him?
mdp.39015063512316	Do n't you see the importance of the Prill- kins's statement?
mdp.39015063512316	Do you agree, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Do you believe there is any truth in your suggestion that Wiseman was murdered? ” Cross hesitated for a minute or so, gently rubbing his nose.
mdp.39015063512316	Do you expect them to work all day and all night?
mdp.39015063512316	Do you follow?"
mdp.39015063512316	Do you know about Uncle Josh's will? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015063512316	Do you know anything about him?"
mdp.39015063512316	Do you know him, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	Do you know the Spear Engineering Company? ”"Spear?
mdp.39015063512316	Do you know the Spear Engineering Company? ”"Spear?
mdp.39015063512316	Do you notice how elderly bachelors of scholarly habit never quite grow up?".
mdp.39015063512316	Do you remem- ber a man coming to look after the air system in those flats? ” Richards stopped to think.
mdp.39015063512316	Do you remember?"
mdp.39015063512316	Do you want the exact dates?
mdp.39015063512316	Do you want to go on to Chandler's digs now?"
mdp.39015063512316	Do you want to kill me too? ” He looked at her darkly.
mdp.39015063512316	Do you, sir? ” “ Yes. ” “ The extractors are above the windows.
mdp.39015063512316	Do you? ”"I think I do, but I'm not sure yet.
mdp.39015063512316	Exactly how long was that? ” “ We opened last December — ten months ago.
mdp.39015063512316	Five thousand?
mdp.39015063512316	Going to investigate? ” “ You bet, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Going to look for your finger- prints? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Got the number? ”"Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Green Humber saloon. ” “ What are we going to do if he leaves the country?
mdp.39015063512316	Had he access to the block in the sense of being able to fake the air system?
mdp.39015063512316	Has anyone been here since Thurs- day to see the air system? ”"Not so far as I know.
mdp.39015063512316	Has he helped us in any other way? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Have another peg before you go?
mdp.39015063512316	Have you had a report yet? ” “ Bless the man!
mdp.39015063512316	Have your people inspected it since it was installed? ” “ The air inlet, eh?
mdp.39015063512316	Have your people inspected it since it was installed? ” “ The air inlet, eh?
mdp.39015063512316	He could n't get any more stuff to carry on with-what was he to do?
mdp.39015063512316	He did n't actually threaten Mr. Wiseman?
mdp.39015063512316	He only said he wanted Mr. Wiseman to die?"
mdp.39015063512316	He said — and these are his words, his very words, officer:'Doº you want to kill me too?
mdp.39015063512316	He would inquire if Mr. Porter was free: what name should he give?
mdp.39015063512316	He's the valet, is n't he?
mdp.39015063512316	Holmes?"
mdp.39015063512316	How are you — how are you?
mdp.39015063512316	How can I help you? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	How can we tell?
mdp.39015063512316	How did Gillings know all about this? ” “ Personal clerk- bit too personal, I should think.
mdp.39015063512316	How many times has it happened?"
mdp.39015063512316	How much do you know about air- condition- ing?"
mdp.39015063512316	How was he then?"
mdp.39015063512316	How will that do? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	How would nine o'clock do you?
mdp.39015063512316	How's that?"
mdp.39015063512316	I hope your inquiries are being successful?
mdp.39015063512316	I loathed it. ” “ Why was your money paid to his bank?"
mdp.39015063512316	I mean, did he ever say he put any special value on it?"
mdp.39015063512316	I mean, did he have his curtains drawn across when the sun shone in the room, or did he leave them back? ”"Oh, he was very funny about sun, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	I mean, was he the type of man whom you could imagine anyone might dislike sufficiently? ”"Oh, I see, sir. ” He looked at Holmes nervously.
mdp.39015063512316	I only wondered. ” “ Where was I?
mdp.39015063512316	I should say he was not much taller than I, though somewhat more- shall I say adipose?
mdp.39015063512316	I suppose she put you on to me?
mdp.39015063512316	I suppose that's set you guessing all over again?"
mdp.39015063512316	I suppose we've got to go through with it now?"
mdp.39015063512316	I suppose you saw him in the lift and in the passages? ”"N- no. ” There was a slight hesitancy about the reply.
mdp.39015063512316	I think three hundred and forty- five cubic inches is good enough, sir. ” “ And how much is that?"
mdp.39015063512316	I was far too absorbed in his operations. ”"Tell me, sir, did he seem at home in using the tools? ” Johnny asked.
mdp.39015063512316	I was just leaving, but thought I'd come along and see how the magic was getting on, Got anything yet? ” Johnny smiled a little wearily.
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder how he paid it? ” Johnny looked up from the bank letter Cross had set aside.
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder if we could trace anything about him from that school?
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder if you can tell me when that curtain rod was put up in the room — the one the window curtains slide along? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder what else there is? ” He roamed round the room, rather like a cat exploring strange surroundings.
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder why he did n't want to admit his previous contact with Wiseman? ” “ Might be worth following up,"Lamb suggested, rather absently.
mdp.39015063512316	I wonder why this one is more dog- eared than the rest?"
mdp.39015063512316	I'll tell the driver to stop at an electrician's on the way. ” “ Why?"
mdp.39015063512316	If I did let you have How much was it?
mdp.39015063512316	If I do that, will you correct me afterwards where I'm wrong?
mdp.39015063512316	In what way can I assist? ” “ We're investigating Mr. Wiseman's death, sir,"Cross replied.
mdp.39015063512316	Inflamed? ” Cross nodded.
mdp.39015063512316	Is he paralysed?"
mdp.39015063512316	Is n't he doing anything?
mdp.39015063512316	Is n't that the proper method? ” Cross grinned, amused at the way in which his own atti- tude was turned against him.
mdp.39015063512316	Is n't that un- natural, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Is that a go? ”"All right.
mdp.39015063512316	Is that bottle big enough? ” “ Looks small, ” Johnny replied, wrinkling his nose.
mdp.39015063512316	Is that clear? ”"Quite, ” Johnny commented, though Cross looked puzzled; this was definitely not his line of country.
mdp.39015063512316	Is that his surname or his christian name?"
mdp.39015063512316	Is that right? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Is the man loopy or just eccentric?"
mdp.39015063512316	Is there?"
mdp.39015063512316	It was coal liquefaction, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063512316	It would have been as unnatural 202 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM “ What about the bottle thing?
mdp.39015063512316	It's a little fantastic that way, is n't it? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	It's about two eighty — what do you make it exactly? ” Johnny scribbled for a moment.
mdp.39015063512316	Let me see-201 Old Cheltenham Street, I think you said? ” “ That's right.
mdp.39015063512316	Let me see”—he glanced at the card you are In- spector Cross?
mdp.39015063512316	Looks like another snag, sir? ” he added brightly, as he saw the despairing look in the inspector's eyes.
mdp.39015063512316	May I continue? ” she added sarcastically.
mdp.39015063512316	May I, sir? ” The inspector considered.
mdp.39015063512316	Meanwhile, I suppose no one at all need come in here now they've removed the corpse? ”"No.
mdp.39015063512316	Mr. Wise- man took Number 604 and was the first to move into that section of the west wing. ” “ When did the others come?"
mdp.39015063512316	Mr. Wiseman did n't like fresh air, but did he like sunlight?
mdp.39015063512316	Mr. Wiseman did n't like his windows open, did he?
mdp.39015063512316	Mr. Wiseman had been here since the building opened, had n't he?
mdp.39015063512316	No more you can tell us? ” The man cudgelled his brains, finally shaking his head.
mdp.39015063512316	No relation, I suppose? ” He chuckled again.
mdp.39015063512316	No; it reminds me of something else. ” “ Well?
mdp.39015063512316	No?
mdp.39015063512316	Normally you'd pump air in at the rate of twelve thousand cubic feet every hour? ” “ Theoretically.
mdp.39015063512316	Not going to arrest me, I hope?"
mdp.39015063512316	Not that I noticed, but he was always so bad, you would n't notice unless you were told. ” “ It was just an ordinary morning, then?"
mdp.39015063512316	Now I can go back to her whenever necessary and pump her as desired. ” “ And what do you hope to learn? ”"I do n't know, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Now can I see the valet, Johnson? ” Cross referred to his note- book again.
mdp.39015063512316	Now do you see my point, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Now what is it I can do, Inspector?
mdp.39015063512316	Now will you give me the solicitors'address?
mdp.39015063512316	Now you want my side, do you?"
mdp.39015063512316	Now, you remember there was supposed to be a man who called to inspect the air system on Mr. Wiseman's floor last Tuesday?"
mdp.39015063512316	Of course, the ledger entry might be a fake. ”"It might; but why?"
mdp.39015063512316	Of course, you've just come from Brixton. ” HEPPELWHITE SPRINGS A SURPRISE 243"Brimsgrove in court? ” “ Yes; he was n't called.
mdp.39015063512316	Okay, sir? ”"Carry on.
mdp.39015063512316	Okay?"
mdp.39015063512316	One never knows when a woman like that might be useful. ”"Perhaps you're right. ” “ What do we do now, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Only last Tuesday?
mdp.39015063512316	Only too glad to help. ” “ Did Mr. Wiseman ever say anything about that Persian rug of his?
mdp.39015063512316	Or will you? ” Holmes laid his hand, which trembled slightly, on the instrument so that she could not pick it up.
mdp.39015063512316	Ought n't we to be moving now that we've got Brimsgrove out of the way?
mdp.39015063512316	Ought we to see Brimsgrove again? ”"Might be better than doing nothing.
mdp.39015063512316	Perhaps you saw him?"
mdp.39015063512316	Perhaps you took it for lacquer?
mdp.39015063512316	Perhaps you would like to call on me unofficially some time so that we can continue it?".
mdp.39015063512316	Remember, too, how Williams said he was a competent mechanic and made up experimental stuff in the workshops?
mdp.39015063512316	Rich? ” “ Very well off, I should say.
mdp.39015063512316	Right?"
mdp.39015063512316	Rum, is n't it? ” “ Rum's not the word, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	See where it comes from? ” “ The Spear Engineering Company.
mdp.39015063512316	See?"
mdp.39015063512316	Shall I begin?"
mdp.39015063512316	Shall I call the doctor? ” Wiseman shook his head; they proceeded in silence via the lift to the top floor.
mdp.39015063512316	Shall I take it into the flat? ” Cross nodded, opening the door and leading the way in.
mdp.39015063512316	Shall I tell you about it now?"
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we go now?
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we go to Sion House?
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we go, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we have it tested for prints?"
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we have to force it open? ”"I do n't think so, sir,"Johnny answered, with a grin.
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we see Nimmo now? ”"Nimmo?
mdp.39015063512316	Shall we see Nimmo now? ”"Nimmo?
mdp.39015063512316	Still with me? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	THE DOCTOR'S REPORT DISPELS A DOUBT 93 “ Ozone? ” he queried, puzzled.
mdp.39015063512316	That accounts for the curtain rod. ”"How?"
mdp.39015063512316	That could be done, could n't it? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	That how it appears to you? ” “ Yes, sir. ” Johnny grinned inwardly; it was like Cross to stress the most obvious points first.
mdp.39015063512316	That iodine had crystallized into iodic acid. ” “ Well? ”"Ozone has that effect on iodine, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	That is correct, is n't it, sir? ” “ It is.
mdp.39015063512316	That was that firm of Brimsgrove's Chandler got his stuff from, was n't it? ” Johnny nodded.
mdp.39015063512316	That's a facer, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063512316	That's all I can say. ”"Can you give me Mr. Porter's address? ” “ No, Inspector.
mdp.39015063512316	That's in your division, is n't it? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ The last service call recorded was in July.
mdp.39015063512316	That's right, Inspector, is n't it? ” He turned to Cross, who nodded.
mdp.39015063512316	That's suspicious, is it not, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	The edge would be ruined. ”"Firmer chisel? ” “ Yes, sir — what carpenters use for cutting wood. ” He turned out the box.
mdp.39015063512316	The new policeman?
mdp.39015063512316	The question is how was it introduced? ” “ That's the whole point, ” Cross nodded grimly.
mdp.39015063512316	The question is: What do we do next?"
mdp.39015063512316	The scientific observer in regulation boots?"
mdp.39015063512316	The theory of probability says so. ” “ Does it, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	The time I went down to have that last row — when was it?
mdp.39015063512316	Then we have to ask ourselves'oo done it?
mdp.39015063512316	Then why do you want to question me like this, if you know so much?
mdp.39015063512316	There are only two possibilities, and Chandler's arrest like this does n't fit in at all. ” “ What are they?"
mdp.39015063512316	There are other gases besides ozone, are n't there? ” “ Yes, sir, but none fits in with all the other facts. ” Johnny was grinning broadly now.
mdp.39015063512316	Thinks I'm better out of the way?
mdp.39015063512316	Three years ago, was n't it, when Brimsgrove took it up?"
mdp.39015063512316	Too early? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Understand? ” “ Yes, sir, ” Heppelwhite replied, looking pleased at hav- ing some more inquiries to make.
mdp.39015063512316	Understand?"
mdp.39015063512316	Understand?"
mdp.39015063512316	Want to talk about old Wiseman?
mdp.39015063512316	Was architec- ture another of his sidelines? ” He picked up four copies of the journal, opening the first at the table of contents.
mdp.39015063512316	Was he surprised?"
mdp.39015063512316	Was there any special smell about it? ” Johnson gazed at him in open- mouthed surprise.
mdp.39015063512316	We do n't say defi- nitely yet that Mr. Wiseman was murdered, but — well, we have strong suspicions. ” “ Murdered?
mdp.39015063512316	We know now it was n't Chandler who installed the bottle. ”"How?"
mdp.39015063512316	What I mean is that he may turn out to be one of the makers'own men — and then where's your theory?"
mdp.39015063512316	What about Johnson, who found the body?
mdp.39015063512316	What about that man you said was helping you — what was his name, Brinley, Brims- grove, or something, was n't it?
mdp.39015063512316	What about the card? ”"I do n't know, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	What about the other snag — the quantity?
mdp.39015063512316	What are they about? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	What are we to make of that? ”"Look here, Lamb, you've got something behind all this.
mdp.39015063512316	What are, then?"
mdp.39015063512316	What can I tell you?"
mdp.39015063512316	What did you do when you left South Ken.?"
mdp.39015063512316	What do we do about Chandler now?"
mdp.39015063512316	What do we do now?
mdp.39015063512316	What do we see? ” he asked oracularly.
mdp.39015063512316	What do you say to having a word with Miss Prillkins? ”"Certainly, if you wish it.
mdp.39015063512316	What do you say, sir? ” “ I say it's near enough.
mdp.39015063512316	What do you say, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	What do you say, sir?".
mdp.39015063512316	What do you want to know? ” The young man relapsed into a state of stupor, his head on his hands, his voice without animation.
mdp.39015063512316	What does this label say, sir?".
mdp.39015063512316	What have we got here?"
mdp.39015063512316	What is it? ” “ Then there're the curtains.
mdp.39015063512316	What is it?"
mdp.39015063512316	What is it?"
mdp.39015063512316	What is the cause, Doctor? ” “ Really, Miss Prillkins —"Holmes tried to head her off.
mdp.39015063512316	What monkey- trick did that hide?
mdp.39015063512316	What sort of a man did you find Mr. Wise- man? ” Johnson shot a quick glance at Holmes and hesitated, as he had when Hunt had interviewed him.
mdp.39015063512316	What sort of a tenant was Mr. Wise- memory after Mr. Wisher 603—and SERGEANT LAMB ASKS SOME QUESTIONS 79 man?
mdp.39015063512316	What time are we due at the solicitor- bird's place? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	What was that?
mdp.39015063512316	What's biting you now?"
mdp.39015063512316	What's happened to the corpse? ”"Been taken to the mortuary for examination by our own man.
mdp.39015063512316	What's she got to do with it?"
mdp.39015063512316	What's that in cubic inches? ” He worked the slide- rule again.
mdp.39015063512316	What's the answer? ” “ Chandler still fits. ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063512316	What's the next move?
mdp.39015063512316	What's the time?
mdp.39015063512316	What's the time?"
mdp.39015063512316	What's the trouble?
mdp.39015063512316	What's wrong with him?
mdp.39015063512316	When was it last attended to by you?
mdp.39015063512316	When was that? ”"That would be on July 1.
mdp.39015063512316	When was that?"
mdp.39015063512316	When was the last time you saw Mr. Wise- man alive? ” Cross glanced at the note- book.
mdp.39015063512316	Where can we find him?"
mdp.39015063512316	Where did it come from?
mdp.39015063512316	Where would he get a thing like that? ”"It'd have to be made, I should think.
mdp.39015063512316	Where're your high spirits?"
mdp.39015063512316	Which shall we do first? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Who did, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	Who else is there? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	Who else?
mdp.39015063512316	Who is he, by the way?"
mdp.39015063512316	Who is n't? ”"Well, this is a fresh bottle, lying on the table by this book.
mdp.39015063512316	Why THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM did n't I think of the circulation? ” he added, more to him- self than to Cross.
mdp.39015063512316	Why did it rust so much that it broke?
mdp.39015063512316	Why is it? ”"Could n't say, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	Why should I parade it before everyone?
mdp.39015063512316	Why should he want a perfectly good three quid a week sent to someone else when he was poor himself?
mdp.39015063512316	Why the hell do I come to you?
mdp.39015063512316	Why?
mdp.39015063512316	Why? ” “ Nothing- yet. ”"Then do n't interrupt."
mdp.39015063512316	Why?"
mdp.39015063512316	Will you ask your question? ” “ Very well, sir. ” Johnny turned to Nimmo.
mdp.39015063512316	Will you do that, then?"
mdp.39015063512316	Wiseman was n't too pleased to see him, is that right?"
mdp.39015063512316	Wo n't you sit down?
mdp.39015063512316	Wo n't you sit down? ” Hunt lowered himself gingerly into a queerly shaped chair upholstered in a florid chintz.
mdp.39015063512316	Wonder if I'd better ring first?"
mdp.39015063512316	Would Brimsgrove hide the incrimi- nating things, if there are any, in this library, or even in this house?
mdp.39015063512316	Would you care to come back in a couple of hours?"
mdp.39015063512316	Wright's will?
mdp.39015063512316	Yes?"
mdp.39015063512316	You agree to that? ”"If it is the practice; I am not accustomed to these things. ” “ It saves trouble for all of us. ” “ Very well, then.
mdp.39015063512316	You agree we've got some- thing to look into, I suppose? ”"I'll take your word for it, Lamb."
mdp.39015063512316	You ca n't remember when you first noticed the smell? ”"Ca n't say as I do, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	You can take it that Brims- grove would n't be acting under Chandler's orders — you do admit that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063512316	You did n't tell us everything the other day, did you?
mdp.39015063512316	You have something special on this morning?
mdp.39015063512316	You heard nothing, sir? ”"Nothing, Sergeant.
mdp.39015063512316	You knew him well?".
mdp.39015063512316	You know about that freak air- conditioning system? ” “ Yes, ” Johnny said.
mdp.39015063512316	You know about the will, I take it? ” Cross indicated that he did.
mdp.39015063512316	You know now, so why worry me? ” The same stubborn air they had seen on Saturday re- turned to him.
mdp.39015063512316	You know the old gag: 94 THE CASE OF THE RUSTED ROOM'Two's company, three's a row'?
mdp.39015063512316	You realize that you are making a definite charge of murder against Hugh Chandler? ” “ Yes. ” Brimsgrove's voice sounded low and tired.
mdp.39015063512316	You remem- ber what I told you last night about the curtain rod in here, and how a similar one in the bath- room had n't rusted?"
mdp.39015063512316	You saw no trace of him?"
mdp.39015063512316	You say you're sure it's murder? ” “ As sure as I'm here."
mdp.39015063512316	You see, sir, how my reasoning takes shape?
mdp.39015063512316	You'll keep this to yourself, of course?"
mdp.39015063512316	You're quite sure of your facts, are n't you? ”"Quite, sir. ” Johnny was feeling unhappy now.
mdp.39015063512316	You've had no business dealings with them?"
mdp.39015063512316	·"Why, do n't you know, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	“ A card, eh?
mdp.39015063512316	“ A chemist, did you say, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ A visitor, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Always on the same rooms here? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Amazing, is n't it, ” he asked, “ that anyone should spend so much on infinite variations of the same theme when he can read?
mdp.39015063512316	“ And did you? ” “ Of course I did, sir, and he gave me sixpence."
mdp.39015063512316	“ And what does it mean? ” Johnny grinned in spite of himself.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Any on the fire escape?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Anything else? ” he asked at last.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Are they likely to be in?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Bit acid sometimes, are n't you, Lamb?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Bit of a busybody, is n't she? ” Dr. Pilchard asked, gloomily making up his mind that his patients must now take precedence over his breakfast.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Brimsgrove?
mdp.39015063512316	“ But how, man? ” he broke out after a pause.
mdp.39015063512316	“ But the idea's not new, is it?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Can I help you?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Can we go back to the main story now? ” “ Certainly, Inspector.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Chandler- Chandler? ” Williams repeated the name as he considered.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Did he look ill? ”"Not more'n I've seen him look before.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Do we open it, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Do you happen to know who this young man was? ” he asked, temporizing with himself.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Do you know what happened to Hugh Chandler after Mr. Wright died? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Do you remember Williams's description of the ventila- tion?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Do you remember him personally?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Does that get us anywhere? ” Cross asked the question almost petulantly.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Earlier in the morning, was n't it? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Had n't a motive? ” Cross's tone implied that Johnny had taken leave of his senses.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Had n't we better check up on that? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Has anything else happened? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Has he sought legal advice?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Have a chota- peg?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Have you got that paper, sir — the drawing Brimsgrove brought? ”"Yes.
mdp.39015063512316	“ He's Albert Black. ”"Can we see him, please?".
mdp.39015063512316	“ How am I blind, Lamb?
mdp.39015063512316	“ How are you today?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ How do you come by this very- er- very doubtful document, sir?
mdp.39015063512316	“ How do you do?
mdp.39015063512316	“ How do you make that out?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ How long have you been at work on it?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ How long have you been valet here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063512316	“ How's that, ma'am? ” The inspector, who had been inveigled by Johnny into attending this tea- party, smiled.
mdp.39015063512316	“ How?
mdp.39015063512316	“ I do n't drink before the evening. ” “ Rules and regulations, what?
mdp.39015063512316	“ I suppose you mean that the combination makes it im- possible unless there was something in the room to cause it-something unusual?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ I wonder what that man was doing to the pipes? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063512316	“ I wonder why friend Nimmo was out when it happened?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ If I might make a suggestion, Mr. Wiseman, do n't you think you'd feel better if I opened the window just a little?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Is that so?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Is that the best you can do?
mdp.39015063512316	“ May I have that letter, Inspector?
mdp.39015063512316	“ My part?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Not feeling yourself today, are you, Lamb?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Nothing queer about that, is there? ” “ No, perhaps not.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Now shall I strip it?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ One thing more: Is the system to the bath- rooms connected to the system for the living- rooms? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Really?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Remember how insistent Chandler was that he was n't a plain chemist, but a chemical engineer?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Richards?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Seems a bit stupid, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Shall I call, Mr. Holmes?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Shall I unscrew it?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Shall we start right away? ” Williams asked, when 175 SERGEANT LAMB RECEIVES SUPPORT 177"Then he was n't one of our men.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Still after rust?
mdp.39015063512316	“ The air inlet?
mdp.39015063512316	“ The book you found here? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063512316	“ The nuts? ” Cross was obviously surprised.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Then what?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ There are three more in that section, are n't there? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063512316	“ There's nothing wrong about ozone, is there?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Wants me to die, does he?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Was n't there something about having only one eye? ” “ That was only one thing, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Well, how are things? ” he asked cheerfully, dropping on the bed.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Well? ” he asked, as Johnny remained silent.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Well? ” he gasped, wheezing heavily.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Well? ” the inspector asked, after making an exami- nation.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Well? ”"This is interesting, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Well?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ What about that prize you found? ” “ Nothing much in that, except to strengthen suspicion, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What action do you suggest, Lamb?
mdp.39015063512316	“ What can I do for you, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063512316	“ What did Dr. Pilchard do?
mdp.39015063512316	“ What does all this mean, exactly? ”"I'll tell you what I think it means in a minute, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What for, sir?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ What has that to do with Wiseman's death?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ What have you found now?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ What is it you want to know? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What is that?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ What next, gentlemen? ” the director asked.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What now, Heppelwhite? ”"Information sworn, sir,"he reported punctiliously.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What on earth-?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ What on earth?".
mdp.39015063512316	“ What other course have I?
mdp.39015063512316	“ What were your relations with Mr. Wiseman? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What's the matter, Lamb?
mdp.39015063512316	“ What's your view, then? ” “ I can only guess, sir,"Johnny replied, with an innocent smile.
mdp.39015063512316	“ What's'dished'mean? ” he asked Johnny.
mdp.39015063512316	“ When you went in, did you notice anything strange about the air?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Where are we off to? ” he panted at last.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Where did he go? ”.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Where is the inspection door for Mr. Wiseman's fat? ” “ Immediately on the left. ” Johnny turned to Cross with a smile.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Where it all came from? ” Williams smiled.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Which Alat does it belong to? ” Johnny broke in eagerly.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Why did Brimsgrove read the Architectural Times?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Why do n't you clear out, like old Jim?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Why do they live in these places, Lamb, at a rent that's more than your salary?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Wonder what's in there? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Wot's up, mate? ” The valet was leaning against the wall, waving his hands feebly.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Would it be giving you too much trouble?"
mdp.39015063512316	“ Would n't it be a good idea, ” he suggested,"if we did n't unscrew the bottle, but had it cut out as it is from the pipes?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Would you mind giving us some details of your career? ” Johnny put in the question before Cross could frame another.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Yes, Cozens, what is it? ”"Relief just arrived, Sergeant,"the man said.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Yes, Heppelwhite, what is it? ”"Brimsgrove, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“ Yes, what is it?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Yes. ” “ If Chandler was working under Brimsgrove's orders, why should Brimsgrove do the one thing that Chandler could have done better?
mdp.39015063512316	“ Yes? ” he asked eagerly.
mdp.39015063512316	“ You know that, do you?
mdp.39015063512316	“ You were Mr. Wiseman's valet, were n't you? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063512316	“'Hugh Chandler, Esq.,'” he read aloud, “ c/ o The Albatross and General Trust, Limited, Shakspere Cham- bers, Holborn, E.C.1'Pretty, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	'Two women,'surely?
mdp.39015063514627	1923, sir? mdp.39015063514627 A bit what?
mdp.39015063514627	A lover's tiff? mdp.39015063514627 All over?"
mdp.39015063514627	And that night'Creep- ing Jenny'died — eh, Miss Massingham?
mdp.39015063514627	And upon what particularly dazzling exercise of the science of de- duction do you base that statement?
mdp.39015063514627	And what in thunder do you mean exactly by that question, Mr. Daventry? mdp.39015063514627 And what?"
mdp.39015063514627	Anne Ebbisham?
mdp.39015063514627	Any idea what he wants me for?
mdp.39015063514627	Any objection to the method I adopt?
mdp.39015063514627	Any trouble that you know of during the night? mdp.39015063514627 Are her clothes gone?"
mdp.39015063514627	Are you Mr. and Mrs. Horace Hutchings?
mdp.39015063514627	Bathurst? mdp.39015063514627 Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514627	Been in good spirits lately?
mdp.39015063514627	Been with you a long time, has n't he?
mdp.39015063514627	But, Father,he said,"do n't you see what that means?
mdp.39015063514627	Caught the'bus, Roper?
mdp.39015063514627	Certainly — want the string as well?
mdp.39015063514627	Christilinda, my Queen of the Eastern Sea, has anything struck you about what I have just been saying?
mdp.39015063514627	Compromised, Lorrimer?
mdp.39015063514627	Curious? mdp.39015063514627 Cyril,"she commenced impetuously,"ca n't you do anything?"
mdp.39015063514627	Did it come off?
mdp.39015063514627	Did you actually see the broken glass, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	Did you bring a doctor with you, Inspector?
mdp.39015063514627	Did you happen to be walking upstairs at the time or coming down?
mdp.39015063514627	Directly after your interview with her?
mdp.39015063514627	Do I understand that you discovered this business, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	Do you find us so alluring then, Mr. Chal- loner?
mdp.39015063514627	Do you know that's very interesting, Bennett? mdp.39015063514627 Do you mean directly after or some consider- able time after?
mdp.39015063514627	Do you mean habitually, Inspector, or where did I keep it down here?
mdp.39015063514627	Do you mean the three Mordaunts all being there?
mdp.39015063514627	Do you mind me wanting that?
mdp.39015063514627	Do you want me?
mdp.39015063514627	Doff your bonnet?
mdp.39015063514627	Eleven?
mdp.39015063514627	Ever make parsnip wine?
mdp.39015063514627	Expected?
mdp.39015063514627	For Molly Mor- daunt, do you think?
mdp.39015063514627	For whom does a woman study her physical appearance to that extent? mdp.39015063514627 Four?"
mdp.39015063514627	Good morning, Mr. Mordaunt,said the man who entered,"you sent for me, I believe?"
mdp.39015063514627	H'm — h'm — and her evening cloak was on?
mdp.39015063514627	Had Mrs. Mordaunt any personal trouble that you are aware of, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	Hand me the brown paper that was outside this parcel, will you, Inspector? mdp.39015063514627 Have you any objection, sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	Have you been all round the garden this morn- ing, Bennett?
mdp.39015063514627	Have you found the weapon that was used, by any chance?
mdp.39015063514627	Have you noticed, Christine, that this'Creeping Jenny'person — whoever she or he is — seems to be following us about? mdp.39015063514627 Have you thought of what I said, Father, when you first called me into the bedroom this morn- ing?
mdp.39015063514627	He's terribly fond of the Mordaunt girls, is n't he?
mdp.39015063514627	How did he come to use my dagger? mdp.39015063514627 How did she die, Francis?
mdp.39015063514627	How do you mean, Inspector? mdp.39015063514627 How do you mean, sweetheart?"
mdp.39015063514627	How have you heard that it happened?
mdp.39015063514627	How long after the actual theft?
mdp.39015063514627	How long have you been here, Bennett?
mdp.39015063514627	How many shall we have?
mdp.39015063514627	How was the lady then, Mr. Mordaunt, prior to yesterday — all right?
mdp.39015063514627	How's the new show going?
mdp.39015063514627	I always think that'William'is an unsatisfying Christian name for the juiciest of the juicy, do n't you? mdp.39015063514627 I did n't actually accuse Jane Mordaunt, did I?
mdp.39015063514627	I expect you guessed, Inspector, that I had something to say to you, did n't you? mdp.39015063514627 I suppose she did n't confide in you at all, eh?"
mdp.39015063514627	I'm next, Mr. Challoner — what about me?
mdp.39015063514627	I'm sorry, Father — but you'll pardon me pointing it out to you, I'm sure, but you never know, do you? mdp.39015063514627 I?"
mdp.39015063514627	If Anne's'very nearly'your worst production, Mr. Challoner, what's your really worst? mdp.39015063514627 If Francis is in'jug'it could n't have been he who sent the sapphire back to Lor- rimer, could it?
mdp.39015063514627	If thou lov'st me — then beware,he retorted, turning to his other neighbor;"and you, Miss Massingham?"
mdp.39015063514627	In that case, Inspector, may I ask you if the weapon with which the lady was killed has been found, or what you imagine may be the weapon? mdp.39015063514627 In town?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is Daventry the man you think put?
mdp.39015063514627	Is he alone?
mdp.39015063514627	Is it possible that it's Russell Streatfeild whom they want?
mdp.39015063514627	Is that what you mean, Henry?
mdp.39015063514627	Is that your frock, madam?
mdp.39015063514627	James's Keeping?
mdp.39015063514627	Just a minute, Captain Lorrimer,put in In- spector Baddeley,"did she seem certain that'Creeping Jenny'was going to do the stealing?
mdp.39015063514627	May I come in, Mordaunt?
mdp.39015063514627	May I see the papers, Inspector?
mdp.39015063514627	Might she not have overheard what you say that you told the others? mdp.39015063514627 Mistake?
mdp.39015063514627	Mood?
mdp.39015063514627	Mr. Daventry,she said,"please tell me, did you go to the inquest to- day?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mr. Russell Streatfeild?
mdp.39015063514627	Need you ask?
mdp.39015063514627	No,replied the gardener;"have you?"
mdp.39015063514627	No? mdp.39015063514627 No?
mdp.39015063514627	Nobody could have seen you in the corridor, I suppose?
mdp.39015063514627	Nobody else?
mdp.39015063514627	Notice anything about it?
mdp.39015063514627	Now where the devil— he said to himself as he stared after the stranger —"have I seen your face before?"
mdp.39015063514627	Now, Mr. Mordaunt, before I walk over to the scene of the crime, tell me, what was this'Creeping Jenny'business about which you were talking? mdp.39015063514627 Oh, while I think of it, sir, could you give me your address in town, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	Oh, why not? mdp.39015063514627 Oh,"she declared lightly,"so it's Christine of the Ever- Open Optics, is it?
mdp.39015063514627	On what charge, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	Or does he exempt Mr. Daventry from the necessity of being inter- viewed?
mdp.39015063514627	Over- confident, are n't you, O Beauty of the Chorus? mdp.39015063514627 Paid up?
mdp.39015063514627	Quite sure, Roper?
mdp.39015063514627	Rather a coincidence — don't you think — that Margaret and he, with Jane and Francis should be at Cranwick Towers at the moment? mdp.39015063514627 Really?
mdp.39015063514627	Really?
mdp.39015063514627	Reliable man?
mdp.39015063514627	Remember Mrs. Perkins'story and her definite evidence afterwards? mdp.39015063514627 Seen no suspicious characters knocking about in the village, I suppose, Bennett?"
mdp.39015063514627	She does, does she? mdp.39015063514627 So that — strictly speaking — you could n't swear whether it was there on your dressing- table when you went to bed or not?"
mdp.39015063514627	Stabbed through the heart, Doctor?
mdp.39015063514627	Surely, Francis, you are n't referring to that'Creeping Jenny'business that I mentioned last night at dinner? mdp.39015063514627 Tell me, Inspector,"she said,"are those marks I can see on it — blood stains?"
mdp.39015063514627	That means then, sir, when it's all boiled down, that you're inclined to hold in with my theory?
mdp.39015063514627	That seems ratherTHE CROSSWAYS 211"Yes, it does, does n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	That somebody did hear Lorrimer's remark con- cerning his shave?
mdp.39015063514627	That would be rather fun, would n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	There was no alarm of any kind you say in the night?
mdp.39015063514627	There were mud- stains on a rug in Lady Crad- dock's bedroom, were n't there, and some glass broken?
mdp.39015063514627	This was about ten minutes to one, you say?
mdp.39015063514627	Three others?

mdp.39015063514627	We have n't thought about that? mdp.39015063514627 Well, Baddeley,"he said,"what is it you want now?
mdp.39015063514627	Well, Inspector?
mdp.39015063514627	Well, does n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	Well, laddie, come to settle the'Crossways'puzzle? mdp.39015063514627 Well, what were you going to say, Christine?"
mdp.39015063514627	What about her face? mdp.39015063514627 What about the old well?"
mdp.39015063514627	What about them?

mdp.39015063514627	What are you talking about, Francis? mdp.39015063514627 What could I do?"
mdp.39015063514627	What could she have wanted to go out for, Francis — and where? mdp.39015063514627 What did you imagine I'd done?
mdp.39015063514627	What do I mean?
mdp.39015063514627	What do you mean by'when'?

mdp.39015063514627	What is it, Rayner?
mdp.39015063514627	What is it, Roper?
mdp.39015063514627	What is it? mdp.39015063514627 What made her do that?"

mdp.39015063514627	Where is it, Baddeley?
mdp.39015063514627	Where the hell did that come from?
mdp.39015063514627	Where were you, Captain Lorrimer, when you handed this imitation sapphire of yours over to Mrs. Mordaunt? mdp.39015063514627 Where's Mr. Streatfeild got to?
mdp.39015063514627	Which one —'Broken Threads'— or the one in rehearsal?
mdp.39015063514627	Who and where is this Adonis? mdp.39015063514627 Who did you say called your attention to it — your son?"
mdp.39015063514627	Who is it?

mdp.39015063514627	Yes, Inspector,she said coldly,"what is it that you have to ask me?"
mdp.39015063514627	You are, Mr. Streat- feild? mdp.39015063514627 You ca n't make any suggestion, Mr. Mordaunt, that would assist me towards an explanation?"
mdp.39015063514627	You ca n't very well talk business on the mat, can you now? mdp.39015063514627 You do n't know then for certain where the broken glass was?
mdp.39015063514627	You feel certain that Francis is innocent, then?
mdp.39015063514627	You never wore it?
mdp.39015063514627	You see, Roper,continued Baddeley in evident extenuation of his contemplated move,"where am I in the murder case proper?
mdp.39015063514627	You surprise me — is that so — really short?
mdp.39015063514627	You think not?
mdp.39015063514627	You want me, Mr. Mordaunt? mdp.39015063514627 You're a stickler for accuracy then, Mr. Streat- feild?
mdp.39015063514627	You're fairly optimistic then, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	You're not my usual waiter — where's Benito?
mdp.39015063514627	You're on to something?

mdp.39015063514627	Adrian Chal- loner — the Adrian Challoner — no need to describe him( remember his'Aubrey Tanqueray'that we saw together?
mdp.39015063514627	After all we sha n't do her any harm if we do — shall we?"
mdp.39015063514627	Also incidentally — what is Mordaunt's game?"
mdp.39015063514627	Also what will you drink?
mdp.39015063514627	Although perhaps — mind you, I only say'perhaps'""Perhaps what?"
mdp.39015063514627	Am I right in imagining from what Mr. Challoner said that these two young ladies are actresses — that is to say pro- fessional actresses?"
mdp.39015063514627	Am I right in stating that she has recently been staying at Cranwick Towers, the resi- dence of Lady Craddock?"
mdp.39015063514627	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063514627	Am I to understand that that was so out of compliment, shall we say, to the threat from'Creep- ing Jenny,'or had you any other reasons for being so?"
mdp.39015063514627	And she took this Mr. Challoner's bet — eh?
mdp.39015063514627	And that the Captain here would n't lose his sapphire?
mdp.39015063514627	Any alarm, for instance, that might have disturbed Mrs. Mordaunt and caused her to dress herself, lock her bedroom door, and go out of the house?"
mdp.39015063514627	Any idea, Mitchell?
mdp.39015063514627	Are n't you certain of it yourself?"
mdp.39015063514627	Are n't you perfectly mar- vellous?"
mdp.39015063514627	Are n't you, Baddeley?
mdp.39015063514627	Are there any signs of a struggle hav- ing taken place before the blow was struck?"
mdp.39015063514627	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514627	Bet him a hundred pounds that'Creeping Jenny'would n't bring the job off — eh?
mdp.39015063514627	But I ca n't very well close with your offer in face of what was said, can I?
mdp.39015063514627	But how does it come to be here?"
mdp.39015063514627	But how does our Christine of the Secret Service know when I first heard of Mrs. Mordaunt's murder?
mdp.39015063514627	But was it part of somebody's apparel that I had n't seen being worn?
mdp.39015063514627	But what do you make of it?"
mdp.39015063514627	But what is it you want to say to me?"
mdp.39015063514627	But what's the point?"
mdp.39015063514627	But where was I — how far had I travelled round the table?"
mdp.39015063514627	But where?
mdp.39015063514627	By the way — I've been going to ask you several times — how do you like my godfather — Adrian Challoner?"
mdp.39015063514627	By the way, where was your typing done, Miss Ebbisham?"
mdp.39015063514627	Ca n't you see what I'm getting at?
mdp.39015063514627	Ca n't you tell this utter fool of a police- man how absurdly ridiculous it all is?"
mdp.39015063514627	Can you give me the address of this agent chap?"

mdp.39015063514627	Could he remember the dresses of the various ladies?
mdp.39015063514627	Could you describe her at all, do you think?
mdp.39015063514627	Could you state that with cer- tainty?"

mdp.39015063514627	How long would you say that this lady has been dead?"
mdp.39015063514627	How was Mrs. Mordaunt killed?
mdp.39015063514627	I do n't know that I"226 THE CRIME AT"One other?"
mdp.39015063514627	I do n't quite Have n't you got the 1923 lot?"
mdp.39015063514627	I fancy Mr. Mordaunt did give it to me a day or two ago but I've been careless and mislaid it?"
mdp.39015063514627	I hope you realize that's so and all that But are you open to receive sugges- tions, old man?"
mdp.39015063514627	I know what you said just now, but could it have been Mrs. Mordaunt herself?
mdp.39015063514627	I mean, did you have much opportunity to observe if she were pretty normal, as it were?
mdp.39015063514627	I presume though that you have some special reason for asking the ques- tion that you have done?"
mdp.39015063514627	I said last night I'd call on you for the hundred in the morning — didn't I?"
mdp.39015063514627	I should have expected a weapon of that kind to have been flung away by the murderer di- rectly after the crime had been committed, would n't you?
mdp.39015063514627	I take it that you have already been informed of that?"
mdp.39015063514627	I think he's as white as they make them, but it's a bit different for me to think so, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	I've an idea that's almost a — I'm going to claim — what is it you call it in banking — three days grace?
mdp.39015063514627	If it lays in my power""'Adn't you better arst the gentleman in?"
mdp.39015063514627	If it were so, why should she take the key with her?
mdp.39015063514627	If so, does he return it?
mdp.39015063514627	If you hear any more of Mr. Russell Streatfeild at any time, let me know, will you?"
mdp.39015063514627	If you made any move at all what would it be?"
mdp.39015063514627	In her usual spirits and so on?
mdp.39015063514627	In the first place — what is he, Roper?"
mdp.39015063514627	In what way did it concern her more than me, for example?
mdp.39015063514627	Is Jane's nose( or rather'was') diverted at all by her father's second marriage?
mdp.39015063514627	Is Molly( the younger, I believe) in love with her gallant cavalier?
mdp.39015063514627	Is Mrs. Lorrimer — I presume that is the lady's name — staying here now?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is he all he pretends to be?
mdp.39015063514627	Is he one of those people that soon get tired?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is it O.K., sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is it dreadfully important?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is it possible from what you have seen for my poor wife to have laid violent hands on herself?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is n't that so, Christilinda?
mdp.39015063514627	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is that so now?
mdp.39015063514627	Is there any other question that anybody wants an- swered?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is there anything else that you want to know or have you remembered some of the things I have told you?"
mdp.39015063514627	Is this'Creeping Jenny'person a woman as she makes out to be — or a man?
mdp.39015063514627	It has been taken from my wardrobe by somebody — but for what purpose?"
mdp.39015063514627	It is n't exactly a stupefying surprise therefore that I should be a bit jumpy, is it?
mdp.39015063514627	It was a private matter really, I know, although there was a certain amount of publicity attached to it, but have you paid up yet?"
mdp.39015063514627	It's a pretty clear thing she has gone somewhere, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	Jane Mordaunt?
mdp.39015063514627	Jenny'might conceivably be substitute for'Jane'— do n't you think?
mdp.39015063514627	L THE CROSSWAYS 205 Something definite has occurred that has caused you to hold such views?"
mdp.39015063514627	Lead the way to your bedroom, sir — do you mind?"
mdp.39015063514627	Make out a list, will you?
mdp.39015063514627	May I ask what those particular plans were?
mdp.39015063514627	May I claim a few mo- ments of your valuable time?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Mordaunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	Must I answer?"
mdp.39015063514627	No objection, have you?"
mdp.39015063514627	No?
mdp.39015063514627	Nothing happened, for example, to upset her in any way?"
mdp.39015063514627	Nothing wildly improb- able in the idea, is there?
mdp.39015063514627	Now what has that to do with it really?
mdp.39015063514627	Now, Captain Lorrimer, tell me at once: you discovered the theft about half- an- hour ago, I presume?"
mdp.39015063514627	Now, can I?
mdp.39015063514627	Now, what do you say about it, eh?"
mdp.39015063514627	Of course there's no suggestion on my part of anything like that in your case, but what put you wise?
mdp.39015063514627	On the floor of the room inside or on the ground beneath the window — outside?"
mdp.39015063514627	Open it, will you, Inspector?
mdp.39015063514627	Or had he been aware of the fact before the Inspector had told him?
mdp.39015063514627	Or if you prefer it at this stage — how did she meet her death?"
mdp.39015063514627	Or not?
mdp.39015063514627	Out Turpinned Turpin?
mdp.39015063514627	Remember her strange, almost unaccount- able apprehension about the safety of this Lorrimer sapphire?
mdp.39015063514627	Remember it?"
mdp.39015063514627	See what I mean, sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	See what I mean?
mdp.39015063514627	Seriously though, does n't anything suggest itself to you in a great hurry?"
mdp.39015063514627	Shall I come in?"
mdp.39015063514627	Shall I get it for you?"
mdp.39015063514627	Shall I peel you a straight banana?"
mdp.39015063514627	Shall I take him in to the front room or will you be coming to the door?"
mdp.39015063514627	Shall I take the necessary precautions to guard the ring on behalf of Molly, or are you content that I should leave them to you?"
mdp.39015063514627	Should he inform the In- spector of what he had discovered behind the ward- robe?
mdp.39015063514627	So Vs back from Burma, is'e, planted all the tea there is to be planted, eh?"
mdp.39015063514627	So come along with us, will you?"
mdp.39015063514627	So that the'Creeping Jenny'threat may be said to have been public property, eh?"
mdp.39015063514627	Streatfeild?"
mdp.39015063514627	Suppose you send for Mrs. Lorrimer this minute?
mdp.39015063514627	Supposing Olive did hear something?
mdp.39015063514627	Surely you are n't the only victim of the eyes of Miss Ebbisham?
mdp.39015063514627	Surprised?"
mdp.39015063514627	THE CROSSWAYS 167"By her dress?"
mdp.39015063514627	THE CROSSWAYS 193"Would n't it be better if we kept this to ourselves?

mdp.39015063514627	THE CROSSWAYS I?
mdp.39015063514627	THE CROSSWAYS IS"Inspector Baddeley?"
mdp.39015063514627	THE CROSSWAYS l87"How do you stick these labels on, Bennett?
mdp.39015063514627	Take me along at once, will you?"
mdp.39015063514627	Take me to your master, will you?"
mdp.39015063514627	Tell Mrs. Mordaunt I want to see her at once — will you?"
mdp.39015063514627	Tell me, please, why not?
mdp.39015063514627	That Olive was not in good spirits?
mdp.39015063514627	That correct, sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	That is so, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514627	That's a surprise for you, my boy, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063514627	The lady, I take it, is the one Mr. Challoner men- tioned just now?"
mdp.39015063514627	The question is, are they recognized as such when they do appear?
mdp.39015063514627	The room from where you say it has been taken?"
mdp.39015063514627	Then — what is Francis like?
mdp.39015063514627	There may be nothing in it, I admit — but why did this girl Perkins confide in you?
mdp.39015063514627	Therefore I find myself asking the question over and over again,'Why has he arrested Francis Mordaunt?'"
mdp.39015063514627	Therefore, friend Roper, I find myself saying —'what's this gentleman's game?'
mdp.39015063514627	This may account for her being somewhat unsettled on the Monday as you sug- gested, sir?
mdp.39015063514627	This murder play that you men- tioned just now?"
mdp.39015063514627	To what do you?
mdp.39015063514627	Was it a surprise to him?
mdp.39015063514627	Was it fancy on his part or did a shade of anxiety cross it?
mdp.39015063514627	Was it his imagination or was Mordaunt for some reason chary with regard to passing on the required in- THE CROSSWAYS 93 formation?
mdp.39015063514627	Was it mine?
mdp.39015063514627	Was this last surprising stroke the action that Bathurst had anticipated?
mdp.39015063514627	Watched by whom?
mdp.39015063514627	We ca n't then count on your er — cooperation?"
mdp.39015063514627	Well, how now — my child?"
mdp.39015063514627	Were you with the deceased to any extent, during the last day or two?
mdp.39015063514627	What about the Mordaunt menage itself?
mdp.39015063514627	What about the body generally?
mdp.39015063514627	What about the grounds?"
mdp.39015063514627	What are the circumstances of Mrs. Mordaunt's death?"
mdp.39015063514627	What are you going to do, then, sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	What came after them?
mdp.39015063514627	What can it mean?"
mdp.39015063514627	What did Baddeley in- tend to do now?
mdp.39015063514627	What did I say when I spoke to you before?"
mdp.39015063514627	What did you mean when you asked me?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you desire to do exactly, Baddeley?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you know?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you make of that?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you mean, Anne?
mdp.39015063514627	What do you mean, Baddeley?
mdp.39015063514627	What do you mean, Francis?
mdp.39015063514627	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you say, Streatfeild?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you see?
mdp.39015063514627	What do you think he asked me this morning?"
mdp.39015063514627	What do you think yourself?"
mdp.39015063514627	What does Baddeley think about him — any idea?
mdp.39015063514627	What does it mean?"
mdp.39015063514627	What else can I — in my position — think?"
mdp.39015063514627	What else did you mean if you did n't mean that?"
mdp.39015063514627	What had she to do with"Creeping Jenny"?
mdp.39015063514627	What is it, please?"
mdp.39015063514627	What is it?"
mdp.39015063514627	What is the plural of Galloway?
mdp.39015063514627	What is the plural of Galloway?"
mdp.39015063514627	What is their connection or common interest?
mdp.39015063514627	What must they be to you therefore?
mdp.39015063514627	What on earth had hap- pened to make Bathurst change his mind?
mdp.39015063514627	What reason could she have to steal it?
mdp.39015063514627	What shall I tell him, sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	What the devil was this man playing at; what was his little game?
mdp.39015063514627	What time did this interview take place?"
mdp.39015063514627	What was it that you were desirous of telling me, sir?"
mdp.39015063514627	What was it, my angel?"
mdp.39015063514627	What was uppermost in your mind at the moment?"
mdp.39015063514627	What would you do if you were in my place?
mdp.39015063514627	What's it called?
mdp.39015063514627	What's the alternative if you do?"
mdp.39015063514627	What's the good of being a Member of Parliament if it does n't help in cases like this?
mdp.39015063514627	What's the idea now?"
mdp.39015063514627	What's the meaning of this?"
mdp.39015063514627	What's the point?"
mdp.39015063514627	What's this, eh?
mdp.39015063514627	What's your real idea?
mdp.39015063514627	When did you first discover the key?"
mdp.39015063514627	When do you think you could fix things?
mdp.39015063514627	When you have digested the valuable information therein con- tained — say unto yourself'whose image and super- scription is this?'
mdp.39015063514627	Where else should""Have you actually seen it in your wardrobe lately?"
mdp.39015063514627	Where in the name of goodness, he asked himself, could Olive be?
mdp.39015063514627	Where then are those nerves of which our Christine speaks?
mdp.39015063514627	Where's Olive?
mdp.39015063514627	Where's the weapon that was snaffled from the theatrical chap's bedroom?
mdp.39015063514627	Where's your ettykwet?"
mdp.39015063514627	Which way did he go?"
mdp.39015063514627	While'Creeping Jenny'is stealing — shall we say — diamonds — you could be stealing — shall we say — hearts?
mdp.39015063514627	Who among all the people at"The Crossways"had the necessary knowledge to be able to obtain THE CROSSWAYS 107 either?

mdp.39015063514627	Why is he so thick with Mordaunt?
mdp.39015063514627	Why is their long- suit persist- ence?"
mdp.39015063514627	Why on earth did my poor wife want to mind the wretched thing?
mdp.39015063514627	Why should n't she be as right about the woman that wore it?
mdp.39015063514627	Why should she have been so perturbed about the prospect of it being stolen?
mdp.39015063514627	Why should we be forced to say a'William Pear'when we might have said a'Lancelot'Pear or a'Mar- maduke'Pear?"
mdp.39015063514627	Why?
mdp.39015063514627	Why?
mdp.39015063514627	Will you open it, Inspector, or shall I?
mdp.39015063514627	With any of the girls down there?
mdp.39015063514627	With whom is he in love?
mdp.39015063514627	Work round in all directions, will you, gentle- men?"
mdp.39015063514627	Would you care to ask him any questions about it?
mdp.39015063514627	You ca n't help me, I suppose, Mr. Mor- daunt?"
mdp.39015063514627	You ca n't tell me, that if that had happened""One minute"—Baddeley interjected almost fiercely —"did she see this woman's face at all?
mdp.39015063514627	You can see that for your- self, surely?"
mdp.39015063514627	You did n't know that, did you?
mdp.39015063514627	You heard what Cyril Lorrimer said last night at dinner, did n't you?
mdp.39015063514627	You know what I mean, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063514627	You remember what we were talking about last week?
mdp.39015063514627	You see those two sticks of shaving- soap?"
mdp.39015063514627	You were n't aware of that, were you?"
mdp.39015063514627	cried Mordaunt,"what does it all mean?
mdp.39015063514627	exclaimed Mordaunt,"where in heaven's name did you find this?"
mdp.39015063514627	he said when they had regained the house —"and where particularly do you wish to go?"
mdp.39015063514627	she asked after a moment's hesitation,"about the In- spector?"
mdp.39015030150513	Are you feeling better now? ” Paul asked. mdp.39015030150513 Bet you're looking forward to the end of school? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	Did n't I mention it? ” he said. mdp.39015030150513 Did you ever go fishing in Canada? ” the kid said, without turning his head.
mdp.39015030150513	Do n't understand you —? ” “ In your quiet unassuming way, you're terribly self- centered, are n't you?

mdp.39015030150513	Hello, who is this? ” Johnnie said. mdp.39015030150513 How about it, kid?"
mdp.39015030150513	How do you mean? ” “ I mean – most people, if they know about sports and things, then they're not so good in their classes. mdp.39015030150513 I guess I can decide for myself what I want to do. ”"But – ” “ You certainly make life complicated for yourself, do n't you?"

mdp.39015030150513	Of course, ” Paul said, “ you'll have to take the initiation. ”I did n't know there was – What's the initiation?"

mdp.39015030150513	Something the matter? mdp.39015030150513 The Child Guidance Council, did you say?"
mdp.39015030150513	There is n't anything in school that you ca n't do, is there?
mdp.39015030150513	Was it a nice party, dear? mdp.39015030150513 We?
mdp.39015030150513	Well, I've been watching him all week, and it seems to me- would n't you say he's been acting sort of funny lately?
mdp.39015030150513	Well, darling, what about it?
mdp.39015030150513	What about old Thorley's pipes? mdp.39015030150513 What sort of ideas? ”"I think I'll keep you in suspense awhile.
mdp.39015030150513	What was funny at dinner? mdp.39015030150513 What were you thinking of? ” Paul spoke faster.
mdp.39015030150513	What'll we do to him, Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	What's the matter with you anyway? mdp.39015030150513 What's the story on old Thorley's pipes? ” Paul asked in a low voice.
mdp.39015030150513	Where'd he disappear to? ” Arthur said. mdp.39015030150513 Why did you do it to me?"
mdp.39015030150513	Why do you need courage?
mdp.39015030150513	Why does it have to get in the way? ” And then, after another silence, in a slower voice, “ We could've done it to- day, you know. mdp.39015030150513 Why is it that they always have to do things backwards?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should you think that people do n't like you? mdp.39015030150513 Why the hell not? ” his father used to say.
mdp.39015030150513	Yes, but- why will we do it, what will we take? ”Maybe nothing.
mdp.39015030150513	You do know that it was a bad thing to do, do n't you? ” He wriggled away from her. mdp.39015030150513 You're a little baby, are n't you?
mdp.39015030150513	107 What was that pact really?
mdp.39015030150513	127 “ Now how to go about it?
mdp.39015030150513	170 Well, why should n't he be able to?
mdp.39015030150513	85 Could it really be?
mdp.39015030150513	A few quick good- bys, see you Monday, wonderful party, was n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	A long time ago maybe, when he was very small?
mdp.39015030150513	A sound of relief?
mdp.39015030150513	About Herb and me?
mdp.39015030150513	Acting funny lately and all. ” “ What about it? ” She could hear the tenseness coming into his voice.
mdp.39015030150513	After a while she said, “ What is it, Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	After a while, in the same quiet voice, Paul said, “ Did you think it over? ” Barry laughed.
mdp.39015030150513	After all his waiting?
mdp.39015030150513	After all the time he'd been waiting- If he was going to get scared, would n't it have happened to him weeks ago?
mdp.39015030150513	After all, 235 what kind of an influence was he for a little boy?
mdp.39015030150513	After all, how could he have been sure?
mdp.39015030150513	After dinner, Mother said, “ Barry dear, we're going to be playing bridge tonight, why do n't you and Nancy go out to a movie or something?"
mdp.39015030150513	All I can say is, what about Peter Phillips?
mdp.39015030150513	All of a sud- den he finds a sword hanging over him – will he get into a good college?
mdp.39015030150513	All right, fine, what could be better?
mdp.39015030150513	All right, this thing was a little different, bigger, so what?
mdp.39015030150513	All right, what difference did that make?
mdp.39015030150513	All right, what else could you expect at the very first moment?
mdp.39015030150513	All the way from Paris – ”"Where's that Scotch? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	Am I supposed to run my life by that?
mdp.39015030150513	And I do n't care, do you know that?
mdp.39015030150513	And all the time he was thinking, If they knew what he knew, what would they say?
mdp.39015030150513	And how can you enjoy a party, if you do n't fill up on your share of the liquor?
mdp.39015030150513	And meanwhile, what about her husband?
mdp.39015030150513	And nothing else, you follow me?
mdp.39015030150513	And now he knew the truth, did n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	And the blow from behind – who was driving the car if you hit him from behind?
mdp.39015030150513	And then what?
mdp.39015030150513	And then, with a note of alarm in her voice, “ He is n't coming over here, is he?"
mdp.39015030150513	And then, with a sigh, what does it matter how I feel about it?
mdp.39015030150513	And those rags in his mouth – We have to untie him. ”"Why?
mdp.39015030150513	And yet, would we think of putting such men in prison or condemning them to death?
mdp.39015030150513	And you said there was blood, so why ca n't we find a trace of it in your father's car?
mdp.39015030150513	Another three minutes went by, and then she spoke up, “ Ar- thur, are you asleep?"
mdp.39015030150513	Anything exciting happen?"
mdp.39015030150513	Are n't you feeling well? ” He stumbled to his feet, threw water on his face, made an ef- fort at combing his hair.
mdp.39015030150513	Are n't you supposed to get any fun out of life?
mdp.39015030150513	Are they planning to teach you anything special today?"
mdp.39015030150513	Are you all set?"
mdp.39015030150513	Are you doing anything for lunch?
mdp.39015030150513	Are you in on this with me?
mdp.39015030150513	Are you jealous of him or something? ” Ellen sat still.
mdp.39015030150513	Are you sup- posed to grit your teeth and let the boredom drive you crazy?
mdp.39015030150513	Are you there? ” Then the cries got louder.
mdp.39015030150513	Arthur kept rubbing his hands together and saying, “ Where's my boy?
mdp.39015030150513	Arthur, are you hid- ing something from me?
mdp.39015030150513	At least once in the course of this night Charlie was sure to drawl out his favorite question, “ How's married life these days?
mdp.39015030150513	Barry could see that, could n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	Barry just had time to 279 way?
mdp.39015030150513	Barry's my best friend, and if he's in trouble – ” “ You see? ” Dad was saying.
mdp.39015030150513	Because if you ever get into this kind of mess again, I'll give you a lot worse than I'm going to give you now. ”"You're going to punish me now-?
mdp.39015030150513	Beginning to lose his sleep, was he?
mdp.39015030150513	Beyond that, what did it matter?
mdp.39015030150513	But Paul just ignored it, what did he care?
mdp.39015030150513	But circum- stances have changed in twenty years – now be honest about it, have n't they?
mdp.39015030150513	But how could he do it?
mdp.39015030150513	But how could he wait another day?
mdp.39015030150513	But how was he supposed to sit around tonight and think of sociable things to say to her?
mdp.39015030150513	But how, we may ask, did this act of violence help them to relieve their unhappiness?
mdp.39015030150513	But it really amounts to the same thing, does n't it?"
mdp.39015030150513	But just the same – The only thing was, what about Barry?
mdp.39015030150513	But she was his sister, she was closer to him than all the world once, should n't she have guessed –?
mdp.39015030150513	But this is life, no?
mdp.39015030150513	But what about himself?
mdp.39015030150513	But what does all this really mean, not in medical terms but in plain human terms?
mdp.39015030150513	But what was keeping Pete tonight?
mdp.39015030150513	But what was prison like?
mdp.39015030150513	But what's foolproof in this world?
mdp.39015030150513	But why?
mdp.39015030150513	But will he 86 take my advice and give himself a good long vacation for once in his life?
mdp.39015030150513	But – ” “ But what? ” There was just the slightest edge to Paul's voice.
mdp.39015030150513	Ca n't you hear him now?
mdp.39015030150513	Can anyone in this room say that he could have resisted those forces?
mdp.39015030150513	Can we be surprised then, can we assume an attitude of moral superiority, when such cruel pressures produce an irrational reaction in a child?
mdp.39015030150513	Could he get him to go along?
mdp.39015030150513	Could he re- ally be going crazy, though?
mdp.39015030150513	Could it ever really come true?
mdp.39015030150513	Could n't be better, could it? ” “ No, it could n't, ” Barry said.
mdp.39015030150513	Could you see me later, around eleven? ” Could he see him later?
mdp.39015030150513	Could you see me later, around eleven? ” Could he see him later?
mdp.39015030150513	Could've used this kind of weather yesterday, could n't we? ” He laughed and rubbed his hands together.
mdp.39015030150513	Cracks on the floor?
mdp.39015030150513	Crazy?
mdp.39015030150513	Crying maybe?
mdp.39015030150513	Dear God, what had he done?
mdp.39015030150513	Did Barry understand, did he see how it could n't be any different?
mdp.39015030150513	Did he have any news from Harvard yet?
mdp.39015030150513	Did he know what they could do to him for what he'd done?
mdp.39015030150513	Did he want to cry?
mdp.39015030150513	Did he want to yell and pound the pillow?
mdp.39015030150513	Did n't he know by now how high were her standards of honesty?
mdp.39015030150513	Did n't he want to be happy again too, the way he had been in the summer?
mdp.39015030150513	Did n't you mention you were go- ing to study tonight with Barry? ” “ I'm studying alone tonight, ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	Did that ever happen to you? ”"Well, I think so. ”"I do n't suppose it's serious, ” he said.
mdp.39015030150513	Did they expect it of him?
mdp.39015030150513	Did they get the license num- ber? ” “ Not a chance.
mdp.39015030150513	Did they have to use such a dirty hand- kerchief, did n't they know how allergic he was?
mdp.39015030150513	Did they send you the forms to fill out yet?
mdp.39015030150513	Did you ever go fishing in Canada?
mdp.39015030150513	Did you hear hat speech of his —? ”"You're satisfied then? ” his father said.
mdp.39015030150513	Did you hear hat speech of his —? ”"You're satisfied then? ” his father said.
mdp.39015030150513	Did you not hear me ask for more tea?"
mdp.39015030150513	Did you think he could do it alone?
mdp.39015030150513	Did you think we'd ever make it? ” Barry did n't answer.
mdp.39015030150513	Dirt?
mdp.39015030150513	Do n't they let a father look at his own son around here? ” So the bell was rung, and a few minutes later the nurse ap- peared with the baby.
mdp.39015030150513	Do n't they show up at their offices next morning, slapping backs, giving orders, looking smug and pleased with themselves?
mdp.39015030150513	Do n't you feel like an Old Testament prophet?
mdp.39015030150513	Do n't you hink so, Dad?
mdp.39015030150513	Do n't you think it was terrible for me?"
mdp.39015030150513	Do we do it, or do n't we?
mdp.39015030150513	Do we have a little imagination, a little life to us, a little courage to do things that the dopes and clods would n't do?"
mdp.39015030150513	Do you know Barry Morris?
mdp.39015030150513	Do you know the Coleman place?"
mdp.39015030150513	Do you realize we did it? ” Then he laughed and waved his arm.
mdp.39015030150513	Do you see?
mdp.39015030150513	Do you understand that?
mdp.39015030150513	Does it not almost seem as if these two boys were caught in the grip of a malicious des- tiny against which it was hopeless to struggle?
mdp.39015030150513	Does n't he know we're trying this case in front of a judge?
mdp.39015030150513	Even her mother asked her one day, over tea, “ What is the matter, Athalie?
mdp.39015030150513	Even if old Thorley had his suspicions, how could he possibly prove them?
mdp.39015030150513	Finally Barry said, “ Were n't you awfully scared?"
mdp.39015030150513	Five years, thousands of dollars, and was this all they could show for it?
mdp.39015030150513	For God's sake, how could he do this to me?
mdp.39015030150513	For a moment he thought, Why not?
mdp.39015030150513	For my birthday party?"
mdp.39015030150513	For what?
mdp.39015030150513	For what?
mdp.39015030150513	Frustration, humili- ation, and guilt- feelings, was that what it had been?
mdp.39015030150513	Get kicked out of school? ”"I've still got them fooled, I'm afraid.
mdp.39015030150513	Go to school by yourself?
mdp.39015030150513	Go up- stairs and stay there till I tell you to come down again. ” “ But I can come down for dinner, ca n't I?
mdp.39015030150513	God knew everything, did n't He?
mdp.39015030150513	Had he been dreaming or something?
mdp.39015030150513	Had he fallen asleep?
mdp.39015030150513	Had he given himself away?
mdp.39015030150513	Had it been that way before, on those wonderful long evenings when he talked to Paul over cof- fee?
mdp.39015030150513	Had n't he known it beforehand, what a dif- ference it would make for Barry to be with him?
mdp.39015030150513	Had there ever been a time when moments like that happened between Mother and him?
mdp.39015030150513	Has it been an enjoyable day for all of us? ” The first one she turned to was Dad.
mdp.39015030150513	He answered, “ What do I care?
mdp.39015030150513	He had lived for sixteen years without Paul King, had n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	He had to take this last step eventually, did n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	He is n't in some sort of trouble, is he? ”"Trouble! ” Mother cried.
mdp.39015030150513	He knew who he was, deep down inside of him- and was n't that all that really mattered?
mdp.39015030150513	He laughed and sighed over his coffee – 173"What's the matter, Barry? ” she said.
mdp.39015030150513	He looks as if he's carrying the whole weight of the world on his shoulders. ” “ So what's wrong with that?
mdp.39015030150513	He raised his voice louder than ever: 255 about?
mdp.39015030150513	He remembered the swarm of questions which had tied his brain up in knots all through the trial – what was he really like?
mdp.39015030150513	He was all over that, was n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	He was crazy about Rigoletto, was n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	He was in Barry's class, 57"What do you mean, not going?
mdp.39015030150513	He wondered, did Johnnie ever go out to look for rocks any more?
mdp.39015030150513	He's certainly got old- looking, has n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	His meeting with Paul, what about his meeting with Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	His nervous- ness made him stumble over his words, so that the clerk snapped out impatiently, “ What do you want?
mdp.39015030150513	His respectful repentant look had always worked before, had n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	How about ten days from now, Wednesday the fifteenth of June?
mdp.39015030150513	How can anything be wrong if it's for the two of us? ” Barry blinked harder.
mdp.39015030150513	How can they leave it at that?
mdp.39015030150513	How can we be sure?
mdp.39015030150513	How can we dare deprive them of their chance?
mdp.39015030150513	How can we take the responsi- bility on our shoulders?
mdp.39015030150513	How could he disappoint Paul, how could he take the 130 chance of turning Paul against him?
mdp.39015030150513	How could he do it?
mdp.39015030150513	How could he ever stand the waiting?
mdp.39015030150513	How could he imagine the world without himself in it?
mdp.39015030150513	How could he lecture her about hon- esty?
mdp.39015030150513	How could he stand up on a stage in front of people and go through all those contortions and never feel the least bit scared or self- conscious?
mdp.39015030150513	How could the judge help but be convinced by it?
mdp.39015030150513	How could you do such a thing?
mdp.39015030150513	How did he get his clothes so wet and mussed?
mdp.39015030150513	How do you think I ever got anywhere in business? ” “ Yes, but – ”"Drop it, Harriet.
mdp.39015030150513	How had he lived?
mdp.39015030150513	How many people get to be famous before they're even eighteen years old? ” And then he moved off to a group in the corner of the yard.
mdp.39015030150513	How much longer, how much longer?
mdp.39015030150513	How was the mother doing?
mdp.39015030150513	How would he ever get through it?
mdp.39015030150513	How would they look at him?
mdp.39015030150513	How would you go about it?
mdp.39015030150513	How'd you like it?
mdp.39015030150513	I apologized, and I took my punishment, did n't I?
mdp.39015030150513	I could n't have done any better for you? ” “ You certainly did.
mdp.39015030150513	I got in too, did you know that?
mdp.39015030150513	I mean, Barry is so introspective- a little too much sometimes – you do n't mind my saying so, do you, dear?
mdp.39015030150513	I misunder- stood your remark, did n't I? ” Dad would lower his head quickly and go back to his food.
mdp.39015030150513	I tell you what, why do n't I try out some of my ideas on you?
mdp.39015030150513	I told him about the graduation, and he said he might come up, if he could get away for it. ” “ Why should he do a thing like that?
mdp.39015030150513	I'll sit in back. ” After a moment Barry said, “ You'll use the wrench?"
mdp.39015030150513	I'm just a little nervous, that's all. ”"You want to do this just as much as I do? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015030150513	I'm sorry for what I did, are n't I? ” “ Are you?"
mdp.39015030150513	I'm sorry for what I did, are n't I? ” “ Are you?"
mdp.39015030150513	I'm worried about him. ”"Why are you worried?
mdp.39015030150513	I've heard my parents say so lots of times. ” “ Should n't we go now? ” Barry said.
mdp.39015030150513	If I did n't believe that – Well, I know that it's true. ”"Then what are we doing about it?
mdp.39015030150513	If I get out of this — and I think there's a good chance I will – do n't you think so too?
mdp.39015030150513	If he can be calm and indifferent, why ca n't I be calm and indifferent too?
mdp.39015030150513	If his life had to turn sour like this, why could n't it happen in the winter, when the days were dull and bitter anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	If his own parents'let him alone,'as you put it, who is going to take an interest in him?"
mdp.39015030150513	If she had known what was wrong, could n't she have 261 thing she could have done?
mdp.39015030150513	If they went on now, or if they did n't go on, what was the difference any- way?
mdp.39015030150513	If you let him alone – ” “ Let him alone? ” She gave a strained little laugh.
mdp.39015030150513	In the meantime, why not keep him happy?
mdp.39015030150513	Is he a well man?
mdp.39015030150513	Is it Five?
mdp.39015030150513	Is it because we're dopes and clods like the rest of them?
mdp.39015030150513	Is it going to work?
mdp.39015030150513	Is my three- fifteen appointment here, Miss Pepper? ” For the last ten minutes Paul had been holding it in.
mdp.39015030150513	Is n't Senator Smith's little girl in Barry's class?
mdp.39015030150513	Is n't that right, Henry? ” Henry looked up from his newspaper.
mdp.39015030150513	Is n't that your friend Charlie Clifford? ” Henry looked where she was pointing, and gave a big smile in spite of himself.
mdp.39015030150513	Is n't there a secret place inside of everybody that nobody else can ever see into?
mdp.39015030150513	Is our baby in trouble? ” Already Ellen was beginning to wish she had kept her mouth shut.
mdp.39015030150513	Is there anything more to our friendship than that?
mdp.39015030150513	Is this what you want from me?
mdp.39015030150513	Is this you, Mickey?
mdp.39015030150513	It had worked for sixteen years, why should n't it work again?
mdp.39015030150513	It is n't too bad, is it?"
mdp.39015030150513	It never occurred to you for one mo- ment, did it, that it might not have anything to do with you at all? ” Barry wet his lips.
mdp.39015030150513	It proved he was n't just being selfish, did n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	It was bound to happen some day, was n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	It was just that Paul had wanted it so badly- and what was there for him in life without Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	It would be the first time he had ever taken her someplace where they were bound to run into – Well, so what?
mdp.39015030150513	It'll have to wait till school tomorrow. ” “ What about tonight?
mdp.39015030150513	It's you, is n't it? ” “ Yes, it's me. ” “ How are you feeling?
mdp.39015030150513	It's you, is n't it? ” “ Yes, it's me. ” “ How are you feeling?
mdp.39015030150513	Jerry had got home before six, expecting to hear Pete's shout from his room, “ Is that you, Dad? ” Then Pete would come running out to him.
mdp.39015030150513	Judge De Vane?
mdp.39015030150513	Let's take a ride after school. ” 142 risks, and so many details to plan out, and so many ways it could go wrong. ” “ What is it?"
mdp.39015030150513	Like a lecture in biology or chemistry?
mdp.39015030150513	Listen, talking about 62 books, did you finish the second act of Macbeth yet?
mdp.39015030150513	Look at the people we have to live with every day of our life?
mdp.39015030150513	Look, do you see him?"
mdp.39015030150513	Losing his temper like that. ”"Why should n't he lose his temper?
mdp.39015030150513	Lots of sympathy from the public?
mdp.39015030150513	Money, a loving family, a wonderful career all ready to step into. ”"And why not? ” Arthur said.
mdp.39015030150513	Mother said,"Are you going out now, dear?
mdp.39015030150513	Mother's 243 “ Back so soon, my boy?"
mdp.39015030150513	Mr. Brennan had made it so clear and reasonable, how could anybody help but be convinced by it?
mdp.39015030150513	Murderer, murderer – But how did they know?
mdp.39015030150513	No school today, is there?
mdp.39015030150513	Nonsense, she said, he spent half his time diagnosing illnesses as it was, did n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	Not exactly used to the stuff, are you?"
mdp.39015030150513	Now is that pretty clear? ” Paul managed a fairly steady"Yes, Dad."
mdp.39015030150513	Now what are you sniffling about?
mdp.39015030150513	Now what?
mdp.39015030150513	Now why was he play- ing the Good Samaritan like this anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Now why wo n't you tell us the name of the other fellow?"
mdp.39015030150513	Now you're not going to be embarrassed, are you? ” Herb grinned around at people who had stopped to look.
mdp.39015030150513	Now you're still with me on this, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030150513	Off to school, are you?
mdp.39015030150513	Oh ca n't we?
mdp.39015030150513	Oh for God's sake, why?"
mdp.39015030150513	Old Thorley's pipes?"
mdp.39015030150513	On the streets all by yourself, with the stories in the papers nowadays?
mdp.39015030150513	Once or twice, at the start, it crossed his mind, Should I take her hand?
mdp.39015030150513	Opticians throughout the city are being checked – ”"Good heavens, what's the matter? ” Mother was crying.
mdp.39015030150513	Or can anybody ever really do any- thing about other people's thoughts and feelings?
mdp.39015030150513	Or is it?"
mdp.39015030150513	Or was it neat and clean, did they give you an ordinary cot?
mdp.39015030150513	Or would it be sheer madness?"
mdp.39015030150513	Paul had made that pretty clear, had n't he?
mdp.39015030150513	Paul said, “ Are you on your way home, Pete?
mdp.39015030150513	Paul thought, “ Why ca n't things ever last for me?"
mdp.39015030150513	Phillips?"
mdp.39015030150513	Please, wo n't you tell me why? ” He shook his head wildly, he barely heard the cry which burst out of him.

mdp.39015030150513	Several times, as the prosecution case went on, Paul caught Bren- nan's eye and smiled at him questioningly, as if to say, Am I do- ing all right?
mdp.39015030150513	She told Robert Taylor that they must n't dare to fall in love, it was sheer madness, he had his whole future ahead of him, and what was she?
mdp.39015030150513	She's a very nice- looking woman, do n't you think?
mdp.39015030150513	Should I try putting my arm around her?
mdp.39015030150513	Should n't he be feeling the shock too?
mdp.39015030150513	So he just said quietly, “ How are you, Herb?"
mdp.39015030150513	So what about it?"
mdp.39015030150513	So what hap- pened?
mdp.39015030150513	So what was he going to do about it?
mdp.39015030150513	So why let it bother him when it fi- nally happened?
mdp.39015030150513	So why should n't he receive a specialist's fees and prestige for it?
mdp.39015030150513	Something about your health? ”"Nothing important.
mdp.39015030150513	Suppose we pick the wrong time?"
mdp.39015030150513	Teddy?
mdp.39015030150513	That small thin one maybe, with the girl on his arm?
mdp.39015030150513	That struck you as funny, did it?"
mdp.39015030150513	That was a funny thing at dinner, was n't it?"
mdp.39015030150513	That's only sensible, is n't it? ” He mumbled something.
mdp.39015030150513	That's terrible – But what's Barry got to do with it?
mdp.39015030150513	That's very good, is n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	The Prince commands, so must n't the slave obey?
mdp.39015030150513	The Teen- Agers'Frolic wo n't be a pleasure, so I'll go to the concert. ” “ What do you mean, it wo n't be a pleasure?
mdp.39015030150513	The big question, of course, was, Who did it?
mdp.39015030150513	The car was going too slow, the traffic was too heavy, why could n't he have used his common sense and turned off at a different corner?
mdp.39015030150513	The kid was glad that he was n't going to be alone?
mdp.39015030150513	The kid, why did he think of him as the kid?
mdp.39015030150513	The odds were pretty good, were n't they?
mdp.39015030150513	The only question was, how to keep him quiet – trick him with a per- suasive story, or simply use force?
mdp.39015030150513	The seniors will be free, but the rest of the school still has the week to go. ” After a moment, Paul said, “ So how about it?
mdp.39015030150513	The state po- now that you'd done as talking about it, but find out I w lice-"115* Can the state police spend every minute watching Coleman's house?
mdp.39015030150513	The thief had to be somebody who was n't interested in ordinary robbery – because how much money could you get for a dozen old pipes?
mdp.39015030150513	The truth about myself?
mdp.39015030150513	The way that cook of yours never seems to remember how I like my steak?
mdp.39015030150513	Then Dad said, “ It's all true, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030150513	Then Inspector Sam- uels said, “ Why are you lying to us, son?"
mdp.39015030150513	Then she went on,"Well, I mean- do you think there could be anything to it, dear?
mdp.39015030150513	There was a buzzing noise, and then a voice said,"Hello, who is it?"
mdp.39015030150513	There's this bunch of kids in it who like to play this game, and when I read it I said to myself, Why would anybody get any fun out of this?
mdp.39015030150513	They just made him head of the Dramatics Club, or did I tell you already?
mdp.39015030150513	They knew what they were doing, and they deserved the full punishment. ” “ Did they?
mdp.39015030150513	They were n't go- ing to do anything sudden to him while he was blindfolded, were they?
mdp.39015030150513	They'll still be go- ing to the concert with one another, wo n't they? ” This seemed to stun him into silence at last.
mdp.39015030150513	Thinking about him was all right, but suppose there was actually a way of finding him – What about God?
mdp.39015030150513	This was it, was n't it, this was the truth about himself?
mdp.39015030150513	Tree again?

mdp.39015030150513	Waiting for what?
mdp.39015030150513	Was he going to be all right?
mdp.39015030150513	Was he really doing something awful to Paul, hurting him, killing him, the way he 162 said?
mdp.39015030150513	Was he sane or insane?
mdp.39015030150513	Was he starting a little too quickly, giving himself nothing to build up to?
mdp.39015030150513	Was he supposed to be enjoying himself, pouring whiskey down his throat so he could stand the stupid yapping of these idiots?
mdp.39015030150513	Was he supposed to get up on his hind legs and wag his tail and thank her for condescending to notice his existence?
mdp.39015030150513	Was his secret out now, so that he would never be able to look anybody in the face again?
mdp.39015030150513	Was it his fault or was n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	Was n't Paul's sister getting married pretty soon?
mdp.39015030150513	Was n't he feeling well?
mdp.39015030150513	Was n't it just as hard on Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	Was n't it kind of stupid of him, just sitting here and not saying a word?
mdp.39015030150513	Was n't it strange that they had n't sent him a letter of acceptance yet?
mdp.39015030150513	Was she really giving pain to her own son?
mdp.39015030150513	Was the trial really so close?
mdp.39015030150513	Was there any chance at all that there really was a prince somewhere, a young prince with his thin face and his royal look?
mdp.39015030150513	Was there anything Paul could n't make him do?
mdp.39015030150513	Was there anything more important than Paul and him?
mdp.39015030150513	Was this all there would be to it?
mdp.39015030150513	We'd better have, you hear me?
mdp.39015030150513	We'll catch cold. ” 227 “ What's the difference?"
mdp.39015030150513	We'll get in there while it's not being watched. ” “ But how do we know when that'll be?
mdp.39015030150513	We're leaving, do you hear me? ” She pulled away from him and took a few steps to the door.
mdp.39015030150513	Well, all right, why not?
mdp.39015030150513	Well, are you coming? ” After a moment Barry nodded.
mdp.39015030150513	Well, do n't you think that would be a good idea for our own little drama? ”"What do we do? ” Barry said.
mdp.39015030150513	Well, do n't you think that would be a good idea for our own little drama? ”"What do we do? ” Barry said.
mdp.39015030150513	Well, what are you standing there for, do you think we've got all night? ” They went back to the little girl's room.
mdp.39015030150513	Well, what was the big problem anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Well, what's a person supposed to do anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Well, why did he keep postponing the mo- ment?
mdp.39015030150513	Were they going to put him in a cell now?
mdp.39015030150513	Were they really insane?"
mdp.39015030150513	What I've been through the last few weeks! ” “ What you've been through-? ” “ Well, that's all over with now, thank God.
mdp.39015030150513	What about him?
mdp.39015030150513	What about his rock collection?
mdp.39015030150513	What about the agony of mind he felt in those few minutes when he realized that he was being deliberately mur- dered?
mdp.39015030150513	What about the two sets of tracks leading to the water pipe?
mdp.39015030150513	What could anybody possibly do about it?
mdp.39015030150513	What could he pos- sibly get from a dumpy, awkward, out- of- place nobody like Barry Morris?
mdp.39015030150513	What could it be that left him so exhausted?
mdp.39015030150513	What could she do?
mdp.39015030150513	What did Dr. Waxman mean about coincidence and circum- stance?
mdp.39015030150513	What did he care?
mdp.39015030150513	What did he expect anyway, eternal gratitude for his good memory?
mdp.39015030150513	What did he mean?
mdp.39015030150513	What did he want?
mdp.39015030150513	What did it have to do with Pete?
mdp.39015030150513	What did it matter after all?
mdp.39015030150513	What did other things matter?
mdp.39015030150513	What did they get from each other which held them together so tightly?
mdp.39015030150513	What do you say, sup- pose we swing into Stage Five right away?
mdp.39015030150513	What do you think we've been doing the last hour, while you've been acting in your play?
mdp.39015030150513	What does an adult do?
mdp.39015030150513	What else can I do?
mdp.39015030150513	What else could I do?
mdp.39015030150513	What else have we been doing the last few weeks?
mdp.39015030150513	What else have we got a beautiful car of our own for?
mdp.39015030150513	What good did the death of Peter Phillips do them?
mdp.39015030150513	What good would it do to make a big thing out of it?
mdp.39015030150513	What had become of her anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	What had happened to her in fifteen years that made her change so completely?
mdp.39015030150513	What had happened, what had gone wrong?
mdp.39015030150513	What had he done to be hated like that?
mdp.39015030150513	What have I done? ”"Done?"
mdp.39015030150513	What have I done? ”"Done?"
mdp.39015030150513	What if he died in his sleep?
mdp.39015030150513	What if he told them to do something and they just laughed at him and refused to do it?
mdp.39015030150513	What is it? ” Barry could meet his eyes only a moment longer.
mdp.39015030150513	What it is- Charlie, I think maybe the boy is n't very happy at home. ”"Now why should n't he be happy at home?
mdp.39015030150513	What the hell are you talking about? ” “ We ca n't put him in there – tied up like that. ”"He's dead, for God's sake!
mdp.39015030150513	What the hell did he want?
mdp.39015030150513	What the hell do you think I've been talking about? ” And Dad stood up, the way 40 he had with Mrs. Riddell, to show that the discussion was over.
mdp.39015030150513	What was a friend for, if not to help you in your moments of pain?
mdp.39015030150513	What was eating her any- way?
mdp.39015030150513	What was he going to do today?
mdp.39015030150513	What was he think- ing about?
mdp.39015030150513	What was he using for brains anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	What was it anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	What was it last night, this thing you ca n't get out of your mind?"
mdp.39015030150513	What was it like to be dead?
mdp.39015030150513	What was she doing?
mdp.39015030150513	What was the difference anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	What was the good of an imag- inary prince when there was a real prince waiting for you?
mdp.39015030150513	What was the meaning of his life?
mdp.39015030150513	What was there to get scared about anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	What was wrong with it these days anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	What would happen to him if that little dope should die or something?
mdp.39015030150513	What would it be like if he got caught?
mdp.39015030150513	What would it be like in a cell?
mdp.39015030150513	What would they do if they could n't go to college together?
mdp.39015030150513	What's on your mind lately?"
mdp.39015030150513	What's the difference be- tween one kid and another, when you get right down to it?"
mdp.39015030150513	When did that scared- rabbit look creep into her eyes?
mdp.39015030150513	When the hospital called him up and told him that it was all over, Arthur asked three questions: Was it a boy?
mdp.39015030150513	Where did that bright rosy complexion go?
mdp.39015030150513	Where did they suppose he picked it all up?
mdp.39015030150513	Where do you get some of these ideas of yours?
mdp.39015030150513	Where was that voice coming from?
mdp.39015030150513	Where's that boy of mine?"
mdp.39015030150513	Which goes faster, a car or the subway?
mdp.39015030150513	Which one do you suppose is Senator Smith?
mdp.39015030150513	Which one of his friends would he see?
mdp.39015030150513	Who does he think he's impressing?
mdp.39015030150513	Who else did he know, who else could he talk to?
mdp.39015030150513	Who else got in?
mdp.39015030150513	Who is he, this daring ruthless figure, the mystery man of four continents?
mdp.39015030150513	Who needs you, for God's sake?
mdp.39015030150513	Who would n't, after thirty years with that woman?
mdp.39015030150513	Who'll get to Seventy- ninth Street first?"
mdp.39015030150513	Who's the baby, I'd like to know, mak- ing a big deal out of nothing?
mdp.39015030150513	Who's we? ” She reached out and took his hand, and for the first time he noticed the funny sparkle in her eyes.
mdp.39015030150513	Why could n't he call up Johnnie now and ask him if he was busy this afternoon?
mdp.39015030150513	Why could n't he ever get some of it for himself, some of the peacefulness?
mdp.39015030150513	Why could n't she let him alone?
mdp.39015030150513	Why could n't they have held off another few weeks?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did I punish you?"
mdp.39015030150513	Why did he ever imagine he was different from anybody else his age?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did he have that look on his face, as if he was sick or something?"
mdp.39015030150513	Why did he have to act so crazy anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did he have to do it?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did he have to read everything in such an exaggerated voice?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did he have to stretch out anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did she always have to keep after him like that?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did she have to be such a sourpuss, spoiling his party and all?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did things have to go wrong for him just when the weather was so beautiful?
mdp.39015030150513	Why did you do it?
mdp.39015030150513	Why do n't you get out in the sun, get a little exercise once in a while? ”"I'm all right.
mdp.39015030150513	Why do you have to be like this?
mdp.39015030150513	Why do you say you did this all by yourself?
mdp.39015030150513	Why do you think we're doing this, for God's sake?
mdp.39015030150513	Why does every- thing have to be so goddamned dull? ” He jumped up from his chair and walked out of the room.
mdp.39015030150513	Why does the defense counsel not say a word about his suffering?
mdp.39015030150513	Why had Dad come down on him so hard tonight?
mdp.39015030150513	Why had he acted so different from usual?
mdp.39015030150513	Why had he decided to tell his story?
mdp.39015030150513	Why had he done it?
mdp.39015030150513	Why had it grown up in him so suddenly over the summer?
mdp.39015030150513	Why had n't he ever felt it before, this quiet contented love for the city?
mdp.39015030150513	Why not stop the suffering right away?
mdp.39015030150513	Why not?
mdp.39015030150513	Why not?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should he get this feeling of casual, almost lazy malice hidden inside of it?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should he have any trouble talking to a boy like that?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should he have got so upset in the first place?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should he hesitate about this?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should he suffer for it like this?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should he take such risks for such a crazy thing?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should his heart be sinking?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should it be any different for Barry Morris and Paul King?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should n't he be around next Saturday night?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should n't he spend a pleasant evening out with his parents?
mdp.39015030150513	Why should she be sur- prised at all this, anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Why the hell did this Harvard thing have to come up just now?
mdp.39015030150513	Why the hell do n't we do something?"
mdp.39015030150513	Why the hell is n't he coming?"
mdp.39015030150513	Why was he doing that anyway?
mdp.39015030150513	Why was he feeling unsure of himself?
mdp.39015030150513	Why was his head going around so fast?
mdp.39015030150513	Why was it so portentous?
mdp.39015030150513	Why was n't he feeling scared and nervous?
mdp.39015030150513	Why was n't it like it used to be?
mdp.39015030150513	With more rain, more mud, more wide frightened eyes and muffled groans?
mdp.39015030150513	Without me you have n't got anybody. ” “ Yes – I know that – ” He was going to cry, how could he stop himself?
mdp.39015030150513	Women get crazy ideas, you know what I mean? ”"I've noticed that, ” Paul said, with a smile.
mdp.39015030150513	Would he have a trial in a courtroom?
mdp.39015030150513	Would it be right to talk to them?
mdp.39015030150513	Would it have a stone bench in it?
mdp.39015030150513	Would n't eight- thirty ever come?
mdp.39015030150513	Would n't this dinner ever end?
mdp.39015030150513	Would the police come to arrest him?
mdp.39015030150513	Would they send him to prison or reform 75 school or something?
mdp.39015030150513	Would they yell at him or hit him, the way policemen did in the movies?
mdp.39015030150513	Yes or no?
mdp.39015030150513	You can talk to people without any trouble. ” “ What's so wonderful about talking to people? ” “ I've never been able to do it myself.
mdp.39015030150513	You consider your- self a fairly good judge of the teen- age character, I presume?"
mdp.39015030150513	You could use a cup of coffee, could n't you? ” Barry nodded.
mdp.39015030150513	You dope, did you think we could ever really stop? ” Then he was com- ing down the steps, holding out his hand, smiling even harder.
mdp.39015030150513	You get me? ” Paul could feel his cheeks burning as he nodded his head.
mdp.39015030150513	You give him everything he wants, do n't you?
mdp.39015030150513	You know, my boy here goes to the same school as you, and he dragged me up there in June to see your play – what was it?
mdp.39015030150513	You know, you almost had me thinking – ” “ Now where the hell have we got to? ” Paul said quickly.
mdp.39015030150513	You live on the East Side, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030150513	You notice she is n't in school today. ” 76 “ All right, what's the message?"
mdp.39015030150513	You remember my boy Paul, do n't you, Matt?
mdp.39015030150513	You remember that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030150513	You said I could have the car, did n't you, Dad? ”"Absolutely.
mdp.39015030150513	You understand what I mean?
mdp.39015030150513	You'd call that an overt act, would n't you?"
mdp.39015030150513	You're Pete Phillips, are n't you?
mdp.39015030150513	You're going to try and get them off by claiming they're insane, is that it? ” “ Oh no, it's not nearly that simple, ” Brennan said.
mdp.39015030150513	You're not going to let him do that, are you?"
mdp.39015030150513	You're not going to throw me in the lake or any- thing, are you?
mdp.39015030150513	You're sure the boy is happy, and there's nothing for me to worry about?"
mdp.39015030150513	think so? ” Surprise all over Barry's face.
mdp.39015030150513	“ And of course, you spoke to your homeroom teacher about that little matter I mentioned to you?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ And this time he's a little bit desperate?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ And why should anybody look for them? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ And you're using Paul's car?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are n't you coming in to tell me good night?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are n't you coming?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are n't you going a little too fast? ”.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are we going to take something? ”"Oh, we can come up with a more original idea than that.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are we supposed to be friends? ”"You know we're friends. ”"Why are we friends?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are we supposed to be friends? ”"You know we're friends. ”"Why are we friends?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are you joking or something? ” “ Am I joking?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are you joking or something? ” “ Am I joking?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are you ready now?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Are you still feeling sick?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Arthur, are you asleep?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Asking us what? ” Dad said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Be- tween you and me, Martin- what do you really think about this case?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Bright beautiful day, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ But Paul — things have n't been going so badly, have they?
mdp.39015030150513	“ But what can we do?
mdp.39015030150513	“ But what could I do, my dear?
mdp.39015030150513	“ But why?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Come on, what are you waiting for? ” Paul held the French window wide and made a sweeping gesture.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Come on, why not? ” Barry's hand was on Johnnie's arm, they had stopped walking.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did Jon- athan speak to you at school today?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did n't I tell you?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did n't I tell you? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did n't you hear? ” Mike said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did n't you hear? ” Victor said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you ever think he could look so handsome?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you find those glasses in the woods?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you forget some- thing?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you have a nice day in school today?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you hear about Paul? ” he heard some- 179 body saying.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you say Paul was picking you up here tonight, dear?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Did you think you could do something like this to me and get clear away with it?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Differ- ent than you've ever felt before, I'll bet. ” “ Do you think anyone saw us?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do I have to be overflowing with enthusiasm? ” There was a pause, then Paul snapped out, “ Yes, you do!
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do n't you think you'd better lie down?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do they know who did it? ” “ They do n't know a thing, ” Mike said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do you know the Lewis kid? ” he said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do you see anybody, Henry?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do you want to call him Paul?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Do you want to go home with me after school?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Every- 313 “ Do I know what we did? ” He was laughing.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Everything all right?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Feel like going off to the den for a minute or two?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Get the hell out of this smoke for a while? ” “ I do n't mind, ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Good heavens, are you sleeping in the middle of the afternoon?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Had your breakfast yet? ” Dad said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Have we got all the props? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Have you done your homework for tomorrow?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Have you got enough money?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Having fun, boy? ” Dad said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Help what?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Hey Fred, what do you think of your Dodgers today?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Hey, Paul, did you hear about it?
mdp.39015030150513	“ How are you, fellow?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ How can people do such things? ” Somehow Barry kept his voice steady as he asked Dad what was the matter.
mdp.39015030150513	“ How come you never told me about that prince business?
mdp.39015030150513	“ How do you feel? ” he said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ How many lumps?
mdp.39015030150513	“ How many years has it been since I've seen Charlie Clifford?
mdp.39015030150513	“ How's my little cousin today? ” Jonathan was saying.
mdp.39015030150513	“ I dare say, King, this disgraceful in- cident has given rise to considerable – merriment at my expense?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ I got you the best, lidn't I?
mdp.39015030150513	“ I never hurt you, did I?
mdp.39015030150513	“ I notice you still have that peculiar woman as your receptionist. ” “ What did you call about, dear?
mdp.39015030150513	“ I only wanted to ask you – It's all right, is n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	“ I'm finished with this an hour ago, how about a refill?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is everything all right? ” his father said, a funny tightness in his voice.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is n't that cute? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is that him? ” Paul said, gripping Barry's arm.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is there anything I can do to help?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is this it here?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is this some sort of gag?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Is this the young King heir?
mdp.39015030150513	“ It was n't too bad, was it? ” Paul said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Just some friends of mine. ” “ What are their names? ”"It's nobody you know. ” She was silent for a few seconds, smiling at him.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Little fat one with the brown jacket? ” But it was n't him, it was another kid who looked something like him.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Look around you, will you?
mdp.39015030150513	“ May I cut in?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Me? ” Dickie's voice was high and quivery.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Mu- riel, please – that's not it, do n't you see?
mdp.39015030150513	“ My God, what's the matter 113 with us anyway?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Now that was sweet of her, was n't it? ” Muriel said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Now then, ” Mother announced, bright and clear, “ what did everybody do with themselves today?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Now we just have to hope that the subway did n't make it twenty minutes faster. ”"You mean, we might have missed him already?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Now who do you think you're fooling?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Paul, what is it?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Right back to the parkway now,"Paul said,"and all the way up to our storage place. ”"Do we have to do that?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ She was feeling bad last night, but she could n't get in touch with me then, could she?
mdp.39015030150513	“ So what brings you out of the blue like this?
mdp.39015030150513	“ So what do you think of your sister's taste, boy?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Tell me the secret, Butch, where do you get the energy? ” But tonight there was no shout, and Pete was n't anywhere in the apartment.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Tell me, Henry, do n't you ever get sick and tired of this world full of Mon- goloid idiots?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ The lake?
mdp.39015030150513	“ They have to go home for dinner, do n't they?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Twenty minutes late, would n't you know it? ” The piano broke into some more chords, and a hush came over the crowd.
mdp.39015030150513	“ We ca n't just – ” “ Why not?
mdp.39015030150513	“ We'll be right out. ” Could n't keep old Vincent Connors waiting, could they?
mdp.39015030150513	“ We'll see each other again, wo n't we? ” he said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ We're in on this together, are n't we? ”"Yes, we are."
mdp.39015030150513	“ Well now, what's the program?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Well, do n't you think you ought to read it, dear?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Well, that's a morbid line of thought, is n't it? ” he said, and he began to slow the car down.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Well, this is typical of you after all, is n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Well, where is he, Harriet?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What about Paul?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What about Paul? ” “ Well, I do n't know really.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What about one of his friends? ” Rose said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What about?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ What are we going to do? ” Barry said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What are we going to name him? ” “ I have n't thought about it, ” she said, blinking up at him.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What are you going to do? ”"I'll call a cab and go back to the city. ” For just a second Paul hesitated.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What could be better?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What could be better? ” His voice sounded funny.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What do I do?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What do you mean?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What do you want, Trudy?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ What does a child do when he feels life to be hopelessly pain- ful and incomprehensible?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What does this all come down to in plain English?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What idea? ” Barry said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What is it, Athalie? ” said the little old lady across the ta- ble.
mdp.39015030150513	“ What the hell is he doing?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What trouble?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What troubles you?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's Norm getting worked up about?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's it have to do with princes and slaves?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's that?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's the matter with you tonight, why are n't you talking?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's the matter, are you worried about what old De Vane has in store for us?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's the program?
mdp.39015030150513	“ What's wrong with the coffee tonight?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Where the hell are those drinks? ” Arthur said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Where's that son of mine? ” He threaded his way through the crowd.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Who are these people?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why are you act- ing this way?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why are you mad at me, Paul? ” Another puff of smoke.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why did you kill that Phillips boy?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why does the coffee in this house always have to taste like dishwater?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why not? ” Paul said, and Barry could see the tightness easing up.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why not? ” Paul stopped the car, and they changed seats.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why on earth should we spend money on a bus?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why should I let it go to waste? ” Muriel peered at him.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why should I stand here with an empty glass?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why should n't a kid start off with all the advantages?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why so quiet, darling? ” Mother said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why the hell should a boy run to his mother with every little thing?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why would he do a thing like that?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Why? ” he snapped back at her.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Wo n't you be my guest? ” They stepped into the sun porch, and from there into a long living room.
mdp.39015030150513	“ Would I go out of my way to put anybody in a good mood?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Yes, it is a crazy game, is n't it?
mdp.39015030150513	“ Yes?
mdp.39015030150513	“ You just do n't understand me, do you?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ You know my kid, do n't you? ” Jerry Phillips said.
mdp.39015030150513	“ You know that crazy business we were talking about a week or so ago?
mdp.39015030150513	“ You ordered more than one ticket?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ You promise you wo n't tell anybody about this?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ You remember me perhaps, from the Par- ents'Day?
mdp.39015030150513	“ You see?
mdp.39015030150513	“ You should know who you're giving a lift to, should n't you?
mdp.39015030150513	“ You wanted to see me, sir?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ You're glad you went along? ” And he smiled with more warmth than he usually let himself show.
mdp.39015030150513	“ You're keeping them up late these nights, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ You're killing me- is that silly?
mdp.39015030150513	“ You've been look- ing for me?"
mdp.39015030150513	“ You've got your ticket?
mdp.39015063551199	A woman, eh?
mdp.39015063551199	About what?
mdp.39015063551199	Am I going crazy? mdp.39015063551199 And he's worth — what?"
mdp.39015063551199	And his hair? mdp.39015063551199 And if it does?"
mdp.39015063551199	And instead?
mdp.39015063551199	And is that why you went round to see his aunt?
mdp.39015063551199	And she left the train at East Croydon?
mdp.39015063551199	And the other set?
mdp.39015063551199	And they were all there, wherever you keep them?
mdp.39015063551199	And to stick this thing on me wo n't you have to dig up some sort of motive?
mdp.39015063551199	And when did you last leave this room?
mdp.39015063551199	And you say you did n't lock this door?
mdp.39015063551199	And you say you did n't?
mdp.39015063551199	And you've heard nothing since of Birchall?
mdp.39015063551199	And you've no other line?
mdp.39015063551199	And, incidentally, the beginning of it all?
mdp.39015063551199	Anything to tell me?
mdp.39015063551199	Are n't you forgetting the bogus Butterick?
mdp.39015063551199	Are there any hills out- side Paris?
mdp.39015063551199	Are you quite sure, monsieur?
mdp.39015063551199	As bad as that?
mdp.39015063551199	As much as a hundred and fifty thousand in sparklers, Bill? mdp.39015063551199 Bad as that, eh?"
mdp.39015063551199	Been no letters for her since she left?
mdp.39015063551199	Bill, for the last time, will you give it up — the whole idea? mdp.39015063551199 But if the crash was n't an accident arranged before- hand?"
mdp.39015063551199	But why come to me?
mdp.39015063551199	But why waste time trying to prove the impossible is the impossible, Slade?
mdp.39015063551199	But, Inspector, you're not going to believe all that girl tells you?
mdp.39015063551199	Can I give you a lift?
mdp.39015063551199	Can you help me?
mdp.39015063551199	Could I go on to Southampton then?
mdp.39015063551199	Could I see it?
mdp.39015063551199	Could we hold Swensen safely until the end of the week, sir?
mdp.39015063551199	Did Lady Malverne see him?
mdp.39015063551199	Did it sound like bluff to you?
mdp.39015063551199	Did n't take a lift?
mdp.39015063551199	Did she act in any way that might suggest she knew she was being followed?
mdp.39015063551199	Did she give any references?
mdp.39015063551199	Did she say why she thought you should give her the money?
mdp.39015063551199	Did you get her address?
mdp.39015063551199	Did you recognize him?
mdp.39015063551199	Did you recognize the car, or the man in it, Lady Mal- verne?
mdp.39015063551199	Did you tell any pals you were com- ing here, Bill?
mdp.39015063551199	Do n't tell me we're going to swing back to Maxie Reisenberg or Pegwell?
mdp.39015063551199	Do n't those deeper ruts suggest anything to you?
mdp.39015063551199	Do we get any assistance from you?
mdp.39015063551199	Do you have to start at the very beginning?
mdp.39015063551199	Do you mind if I go in, Inspector? mdp.39015063551199 Do you think he rang up solely to ask her not to sell the necklace?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do you think he was a sadist?
mdp.39015063551199	Do you?
mdp.39015063551199	Does one have to be able to fly to tamper with a machine that's on the ground?
mdp.39015063551199	Does this really help us?
mdp.39015063551199	From Scotland Yard, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	Give over, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063551199	Had she any initials on her bags and travelling- trunks?
mdp.39015063551199	Has he any? mdp.39015063551199 Has nobody identified him, gentlemen?"
mdp.39015063551199	Have n't you bowled your own argument out mid- dle stump?
mdp.39015063551199	Have you a key, Brooks?
mdp.39015063551199	Have you any suspicion, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	He is n't dead?
mdp.39015063551199	He just walked out of your life, as they say in the magazines?
mdp.39015063551199	He said that?
mdp.39015063551199	His sister?
mdp.39015063551199	How are they taking it, Clinton? mdp.39015063551199 How could it, when everything was burned to a cinder?
mdp.39015063551199	How did you get from the station, four miles away, to Steyning Towers?
mdp.39015063551199	How did you get here, Bill?
mdp.39015063551199	How do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063551199	How do you mean, very little danger?
mdp.39015063551199	How does that fit in?
mdp.39015063551199	How many, Irvin?
mdp.39015063551199	How was that?
mdp.39015063551199	How will you know where the Tears are?
mdp.39015063551199	How?
mdp.39015063551199	How?
mdp.39015063551199	How?
mdp.39015063551199	I do n't think there's much we can tell Inspector Slade, is there, Annie?
mdp.39015063551199	I have come to"Take me?
mdp.39015063551199	I was thinking about Barry Birchall to- day, while you were in France, as a matter of fact"Why, especially?
mdp.39015063551199	I wonder,he said slowly,"if Birchall has a private'plane?"
mdp.39015063551199	If I do n't agree?
mdp.39015063551199	If he is n't you wo n't tell what you know?
mdp.39015063551199	If they fail you?
mdp.39015063551199	In spite of the fact that he gave up flying for you, sold his'plane, only two months — at most three months — before that?
mdp.39015063551199	Is he an artist or a writer?
mdp.39015063551199	Is n't it explicit?
mdp.39015063551199	Is your husband on remand?
mdp.39015063551199	Judith?
mdp.39015063551199	Just where are you leading me, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	Know the number of the bus she took?
mdp.39015063551199	Liver?
mdp.39015063551199	Lock the trunk?
mdp.39015063551199	Locked? mdp.39015063551199 May I see the trunk with the other clubs?"
mdp.39015063551199	Mean the knocking out was a put- up job?
mdp.39015063551199	Milford,said Slade,"had this Mrs. Savarin red hair?"
mdp.39015063551199	More than a week?
mdp.39015063551199	Must I explain every little why and wherefore?
mdp.39015063551199	No, I think the Old Guard remains, and of course my- self"Kurt, what is wrong?
mdp.39015063551199	No?
mdp.39015063551199	Not a bad little bus, is she?
mdp.39015063551199	Not even the servants?
mdp.39015063551199	Nothing wrong, I hope?
mdp.39015063551199	Now what do you make of it, Clinton?
mdp.39015063551199	Now, Milford, what name did she give?
mdp.39015063551199	Now, what about'phone calls? mdp.39015063551199 Other interest?"
mdp.39015063551199	Paris — a hill?
mdp.39015063551199	Prisoner, ma'am?
mdp.39015063551199	Prisoner?
mdp.39015063551199	Ready?
mdp.39015063551199	Recognize him, Bill? mdp.39015063551199 Remember the map, Tessa?"
mdp.39015063551199	Say, what about the car? mdp.39015063551199 See?"
mdp.39015063551199	Seen Butterick?
mdp.39015063551199	Shall I get through to the Yard?
mdp.39015063551199	Shall we have to release Pegwell?
mdp.39015063551199	She brought in none of her own stuff?
mdp.39015063551199	So every outgoing call has to be asked of the exchange operator?
mdp.39015063551199	So the hunch was successful?
mdp.39015063551199	So you kept your word? mdp.39015063551199 So you're going?"
mdp.39015063551199	Somebody did a thorough job, did n't they?
mdp.39015063551199	Something or some one?
mdp.39015063551199	Spend millions to educate'em to stand on their own feet,he was saying as the Yard men came in,"and what do you get for it?
mdp.39015063551199	Still sticking to your theory that she was with him on that expedition, eh?
mdp.39015063551199	Sure, Bill? mdp.39015063551199 That is your explanation?"
mdp.39015063551199	That means — just what, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	That's true enough,she agreed,"but what's the mean- ing of all this supposing and demand for proof?
mdp.39015063551199	The Red Doll, Inspector? mdp.39015063551199 The door is always kept locked?"
mdp.39015063551199	The'phone call from Paris?
mdp.39015063551199	Then I suppose you found you had to substitute some oneforBirchall?
mdp.39015063551199	Then he does n't know?
mdp.39015063551199	Then how the devil do you suppose Birchall found out the truth?
mdp.39015063551199	Then she took nothing out with her?
mdp.39015063551199	Then something has miscarried?
mdp.39015063551199	Then what? mdp.39015063551199 There is a reason for that, you think?"
mdp.39015063551199	They?
mdp.39015063551199	Think it may be a plant?
mdp.39015063551199	Think so?
mdp.39015063551199	Think that'll recover the diamonds?
mdp.39015063551199	Took the flat on a three- months'lease and left before the first week was up?
mdp.39015063551199	Up which garden path? mdp.39015063551199 Very well,"said the Yard man,"did you use your clubs this morning?"
mdp.39015063551199	Walk back round the circle you've made?
mdp.39015063551199	Was it you who?
mdp.39015063551199	Was she a foreigner?
mdp.39015063551199	Was the quarrel between your nephew and Lady Mal- verne serious?
mdp.39015063551199	Was this decision sudden?
mdp.39015063551199	Well, Clinton, how's the fort been holding out?
mdp.39015063551199	Well, Inspector, what do you do now?
mdp.39015063551199	Well, Inspector, what do you want me to say?
mdp.39015063551199	Well, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	Well, Reisenberg?
mdp.39015063551199	Well, do n't you think it might be an idea to tell Pegwell we've found his car? mdp.39015063551199 Well, what is it?"
mdp.39015063551199	Well, what's that?
mdp.39015063551199	Well,she retorted,"what have you come to prove?"
mdp.39015063551199	Well?
mdp.39015063551199	Well?
mdp.39015063551199	Were you framed last night?
mdp.39015063551199	What I want to know,said Mrs. Reisenberg, too clever to meet her husband's roving eye,"is who's the prisoner in the North Tower?"
mdp.39015063551199	What about a dive, Kurt?
mdp.39015063551199	What about if Reisenberg and Bill Pegwell are in this together?
mdp.39015063551199	What about that little man Butterick, has he gone, Kurt?
mdp.39015063551199	What about that statement you want?
mdp.39015063551199	What about the person who knocked you out? mdp.39015063551199 What are you charging me with?"
mdp.39015063551199	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063551199	What d'you mean?
mdp.39015063551199	What d'you mean?
mdp.39015063551199	What d'you want now?
mdp.39015063551199	What did she say?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you make of it, Clinton?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you make of it, Slade?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you mean — no?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you propose?
mdp.39015063551199	What do you want to know?
mdp.39015063551199	What if it did? mdp.39015063551199 What is it, Kurt?"
mdp.39015063551199	What makes you so sure?
mdp.39015063551199	What of it? mdp.39015063551199 What on earth can Barry be'phoning about from 24 THE CASE OF THE MALVERNE DIAMONDS Paris?"
mdp.39015063551199	What the devil can I do?
mdp.39015063551199	What time did she leave?
mdp.39015063551199	What — what does it all add up to, Inspector? mdp.39015063551199 What's that?"
mdp.39015063551199	What's that?
mdp.39015063551199	What's the idea? mdp.39015063551199 What's the matter now?"
mdp.39015063551199	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063551199	When can I get away?
mdp.39015063551199	When will the car be out of the lake?
mdp.39015063551199	Where can they be?
mdp.39015063551199	Where do you get the one- man part of it?
mdp.39015063551199	Where do you proceed from there?
mdp.39015063551199	Where would any woman conceal jewels in a place like that, Tessa?
mdp.39015063551199	Which others?
mdp.39015063551199	Who is he?
mdp.39015063551199	Who told you it was mine, the chauffeur, I suppose?
mdp.39015063551199	Who was Meredith?
mdp.39015063551199	Who's this Barry fellow?
mdp.39015063551199	Why is n't he over here now?
mdp.39015063551199	Why seemingly? mdp.39015063551199 Why should I?"
mdp.39015063551199	Why, did Sir Julius dislike Mr. Swensen during the short time he knew him?
mdp.39015063551199	Will Mr. Reisenberg take the necklace with him, Lady Malverne, in the event of his purchasing it from you?
mdp.39015063551199	Will you leave that cord alone?
mdp.39015063551199	Would he tell me about his women friends?
mdp.39015063551199	Would n't a better plan be to have Swensen charged with theft of the necklace and murder? mdp.39015063551199 Would n't you say the car was steadied at this point, the brakes applied, so that the locked wheels dug deeper into the surface of the path?"
mdp.39015063551199	Would that be possible?
mdp.39015063551199	Would we be happier, Bill?
mdp.39015063551199	Would we?
mdp.39015063551199	Would you be so kind? mdp.39015063551199 Wrong, what should be wrong, my dear?"
mdp.39015063551199	Yes, Inspector, what is it?
mdp.39015063551199	You are Tessa Pegwell?
mdp.39015063551199	You call that a choice?
mdp.39015063551199	You do n't like the way the case is shaping?
mdp.39015063551199	You do n't think she — PegwelPs wife's got them?
mdp.39015063551199	You hoping for anything from that angle?
mdp.39015063551199	You imply, Mr. Reisenberg, that you do n't think it will be recovered?
mdp.39015063551199	You know your sister, Lady Malverne, has had a very valuable necklace stolen?
mdp.39015063551199	You mean Barry?
mdp.39015063551199	You mean from that angle we may get a new lead about Birchall?
mdp.39015063551199	You quarrelled?
mdp.39015063551199	You said an important development, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	You saw?
mdp.39015063551199	You say you saw him two months ago, and have n't seen him since?
mdp.39015063551199	You still have it?
mdp.39015063551199	You understand?
mdp.39015063551199	You will have a chance of repeating that later"Then you're going to arrest me?
mdp.39015063551199	You wonder what?
mdp.39015063551199	You — you think that?
mdp.39015063551199	You'll be at your office to- morrow?
mdp.39015063551199	You're sure?
mdp.39015063551199	You're thinking of Swensen, sir?
mdp.39015063551199	You've a'phone here, Miss Knight?
mdp.39015063551199	You've been threatened?
mdp.39015063551199	You've met Mr. Butterick, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	You, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	Your life?
mdp.39015063551199	'"And you'll arrest me for the purloining of the necklace known as the Tears of Death?"

mdp.39015063551199	214 THE CASE OF THE MALVERNE DIAMONDS Did that mean that the affair at Steyning Towers had been planned then?

mdp.39015063551199	And you say she's walked off with the Malverne diamonds?"

mdp.39015063551199	Anyway, how could Barry, in Paris when that call came through, be here to lift that necklace?
mdp.39015063551199	Anyway, if she wanted to be unobserved, would n't it be better to take the stairs?
mdp.39015063551199	Appear, and spoil his original plot for which he had already done so much, gone so far?
mdp.39015063551199	Are you trying to get me to draw a question- mark after Barry's name?"
mdp.39015063551199	As for his own part in the scheme, how much work would be necessary to rig a'plane so as to set it on fire when it reaches a couple of thousand feet?
mdp.39015063551199	At last,"You think I should stay here, Kurt?"
mdp.39015063551199	Away from Butterick, Clinton said to Slade,"You do n't think he's much of a detective, do you?"
mdp.39015063551199	Bridgewater?"
mdp.39015063551199	Bridgewater?"
mdp.39015063551199	But I ask you, Slade, does this case look like settling itself in that 192 THE CASE OF THE MALVERNE DIAMONDS short time?
mdp.39015063551199	But before you go, perhaps you would show me whereabouts the car lies?"
mdp.39015063551199	But could he have been Butterick?
mdp.39015063551199	But how could she be honest now?
mdp.39015063551199	But if so, how had he fitted into the scheme?
mdp.39015063551199	But it's a bit thin, is n't it, Slade?
mdp.39015063551199	But what is this case you are engaged on?
mdp.39015063551199	But what of the murder of the maid?"
mdp.39015063551199	But where were they?
mdp.39015063551199	But whither did their diverging paths lead?
mdp.39015063551199	But why, may I ask, are you interested in this woman, this Red Doll as you call her?"
mdp.39015063551199	But would Reisenberg have trusted him?
mdp.39015063551199	But would n't you consider a hundred and fifty thousand in jewels sufficient motive for three mur- ders?
mdp.39015063551199	But would she?
mdp.39015063551199	But your personal theory, my friend?
mdp.39015063551199	But"—shrewdness crept into eyes and tone—"do you think she will be able to help you regarding the where- abouts of the diamonds?"
mdp.39015063551199	By the way, has there been any notice in the papers during the past few days of a'plane crash anywhere?"
mdp.39015063551199	Can one hide a'plane by putting it in one's pocket?
mdp.39015063551199	Chapter XI Do you mind if I have a drink, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551199	Clammer?"
mdp.39015063551199	Clammer?"
mdp.39015063551199	Clinton was saying,"Well, do you know him?
mdp.39015063551199	Come by car?"
mdp.39015063551199	Could Birchall be the mysterious third?
mdp.39015063551199	Could I trouble you for another cigarette?
mdp.39015063551199	Could this woman know anything about Bill's failure to return?
mdp.39015063551199	D'you hear?
mdp.39015063551199	Did she sweep him a swift, appraisive glance?
mdp.39015063551199	Did that mean a third member of the party?
mdp.39015063551199	Did you know Lady Malverne's briefed Sir Vincent Brugman?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do n't think I know, do you?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do n't you know that feeling?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015063551199	Do you feel like performing a miracle?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do you mean to tell me, Judith, you think Kurt murdered Maud?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do you think I can ever forget that dirty little slum, the leaky roof and damp walls?
mdp.39015063551199	Do you understand me, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063551199	Do you, frankly?"
mdp.39015063551199	Does Barry's type ever get real friends?
mdp.39015063551199	Does n't anything ever stump you?"
mdp.39015063551199	Does n't that require an explanation?"
mdp.39015063551199	Does that satisfy any doubts you have?"
mdp.39015063551199	Does that satisfy you?"
mdp.39015063551199	Everything all right?"
mdp.39015063551199	Farrar dug up any- thing?"
mdp.39015063551199	Frenton's man has n't gone yet, I take it?"
mdp.39015063551199	Get it?
mdp.39015063551199	Get me?
mdp.39015063551199	Get me?"
mdp.39015063551199	Get the idea?"
mdp.39015063551199	Got any idea who's after the diamonds?"
mdp.39015063551199	Had Mrs. Clam- mer's attitude suddenly scared her?
mdp.39015063551199	Had he been shot?
mdp.39015063551199	Had he gone to Paris after the diamonds had been stolen, and, disguised as Birchall, allowed the Englishman to go to England to contact his sister?
mdp.39015063551199	Had she tried to trick him?
mdp.39015063551199	Had the girl decided not to tell what she knew in face of her reception?
mdp.39015063551199	Had you thought of that?"
mdp.39015063551199	Have you a house ex- change for this block of fiats?"
mdp.39015063551199	Have you something on your mind?"
mdp.39015063551199	He paused, shot a look from Clinton to Slade, then asked,"Reisenberg, presumably, has a client behind him?
mdp.39015063551199	Hear anything?"
mdp.39015063551199	His friends?"
mdp.39015063551199	How can Kurt's arrest be for the best?
mdp.39015063551199	How could they conspire against me if I do n't know them and they do n't know me?"
mdp.39015063551199	How did that work?
mdp.39015063551199	How did you get Meredith's Christian name?"
mdp.39015063551199	How do you mean exactly?"
mdp.39015063551199	How much was caution, how much feminine doubt?
mdp.39015063551199	How're you going to get on to her?
mdp.39015063551199	How's the head feeling?"
mdp.39015063551199	How's your watch?"
mdp.39015063551199	I 134 THE CASE OF THE MALVERNE DIAMONDS suppose nothing's come of the hunt for some fingerprints of the bogus Butterick?"
mdp.39015063551199	I did n't want to"THE CASE OF THE MALVERNE DIAMONDS 219"As a husband?"
mdp.39015063551199	I do n't want to lose it, see?"
mdp.39015063551199	I followed her on to a bus, and to a block of flats somewhere along the main road towards Purley, is n't it?
mdp.39015063551199	I'll do this job, but what about the five hundred I get from the red- head?"
mdp.39015063551199	I've been studying""Studying?"
mdp.39015063551199	If he's your partner you'll want to do something about it, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063551199	In a few moments her one chance of helping Bill would be gone, bartered for what?
mdp.39015063551199	In heaven's name how?"
mdp.39015063551199	Instead of that, what chance has Bill of getting a job, with detectives calling round to inquire where he is, what he is doing?
mdp.39015063551199	Is n't that your kit of tools?"
mdp.39015063551199	It was Mrs. Pegwell who was directly responsible for the Paris lead, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063551199	It wo n't be pretty, will it?
mdp.39015063551199	Just why did you come up to this room?"
mdp.39015063551199	Left nothing in it, I suppose?
mdp.39015063551199	Myers?"
mdp.39015063551199	No newcomers?"
mdp.39015063551199	Nothing at all turned up?"
mdp.39015063551199	Or in his locker on the grounds?"
mdp.39015063551199	Or lie low and let them be sold?
mdp.39015063551199	Or should I call him an American?
mdp.39015063551199	Or was he?
mdp.39015063551199	Or was it Tanganyika?
mdp.39015063551199	Or was it fancy?
mdp.39015063551199	Or would it still work?
mdp.39015063551199	Other late- comers might have used a lift that was still operating?"

mdp.39015063551199	Pegwell?"
mdp.39015063551199	Pegwell?"
mdp.39015063551199	Pegwell?"
mdp.39015063551199	Perhaps the car skidded on the road, lost control, broke through the hedge — and, that path being an incline, what could the driver do?"
mdp.39015063551199	Playing bogey- man with me?"
mdp.39015063551199	Reisenberg?"
mdp.39015063551199	Reisenberg?"
mdp.39015063551199	See what I mean?
mdp.39015063551199	See what I'm driving at?"
mdp.39015063551199	See?
mdp.39015063551199	Shall we depart?"
mdp.39015063551199	She stood over me and said,'So you could identify him?'
mdp.39015063551199	She would n't make an alibi for him, would she?"
mdp.39015063551199	Slade made some notes in his book before putting the next question:"Can you describe the woman at all, Mrs. Peg- well?

mdp.39015063551199	The question seemed to resolve itself into one of: had she gone aground in London or sailed abroad?
mdp.39015063551199	The sergeant stopped, stared straight at Slade, and de- manded,"Who the devil is the murderer now?
mdp.39015063551199	Then who was the short, sandy- haired man who had posed as the real Butterick?

mdp.39015063919636	And why not?
mdp.39015063919636	And you masqueraded as Mr. Bangs for the sole purpose of getting those fingerprints?

mdp.39015063919636	And your car?

mdp.39015063919636	Are we at cross purposes?

mdp.39015063919636	Good heavens, whatever for?
mdp.39015063919636	Got a bit o'baccy on you, guv'nor?
mdp.39015063919636	Has Captain Mayhew come downstairs yet? ” I queried. mdp.39015063919636 Have you also a shed where I can garage my car for the night?"
mdp.39015063919636	Have you come across a gentleman named Professor Xavier?
mdp.39015063919636	Have you learned something — bad — about Philip?!' mdp.39015063919636 How d'you suppose this damned place is venti- lated?"
mdp.39015063919636	How on earth did you manage that?
mdp.39015063919636	I am told you have important business, huh?
mdp.39015063919636	I do n't suppose you have had me bound to this chair merely for the purpose of giv- ing your servants exercise?
mdp.39015063919636	I in- formed her that you were still sleeping and"Where was she speaking from?
mdp.39015063919636	I suppose Philip has enough sense not to mix his parties too much?
mdp.39015063919636	I suppose it's quite possible that the Chinaman should moan and shriek in that beastly fashion if he were doped?
mdp.39015063919636	I thought we were being serious?
mdp.39015063919636	I thought you vowed you would n't leave London for a couple of months?
mdp.39015063919636	I wonder if he's quite sane?
mdp.39015063919636	I wonder if youU think me an awful fool?
mdp.39015063919636	Is he going crazy, or am I? mdp.39015063919636 Is my guide ready?"
mdp.39015063919636	Is n't he an extraordinary character?
mdp.39015063919636	Is n't it a bit strange that he should live with Arnington?
mdp.39015063919636	Is n't the carving wonderful?
mdp.39015063919636	Is the cross- examination over?
mdp.39015063919636	Is there a magnifying glass about?
mdp.39015063919636	Joan does n't like you?
mdp.39015063919636	May I call for you at your house? mdp.39015063919636 May I come round after dinner?"
mdp.39015063919636	Might I light my cigar from yours, sir?
mdp.39015063919636	Miss Vernon?
mdp.39015063919636	Mr. Bangs? mdp.39015063919636 My God, what am I doing?"
mdp.39015063919636	My dear Sir Richard, are n't you thinking of going to bed?
mdp.39015063919636	Now what's wrong, Joan?
mdp.39015063919636	Of course you are aware that it was a tradition of the Tracys not to marry out of England?
mdp.39015063919636	Paper? mdp.39015063919636 Partly by train and partly by car. ”"Indeed, sir, Will you take an early lunch, sir? ”"Lunch!
mdp.39015063919636	Play chess?
mdp.39015063919636	Police, eh?
mdp.39015063919636	Really?
mdp.39015063919636	Sir Richard Montague?
mdp.39015063919636	So you would send for the police? mdp.39015063919636 Suppose the real Arnginton was got rid of; sup- pose that absolutely no trace of him remained, what could we do?"
mdp.39015063919636	Surely you wo n't risk a crazy Chinaman running amuck about the house?
mdp.39015063919636	That's not much to go on, is it?
mdp.39015063919636	The police have been informed, of course?
mdp.39015063919636	Then I am forgiven?
mdp.39015063919636	Then Philip knows her well?
mdp.39015063919636	Then the two letters I have received were both written by the real Lord Arnington?
mdp.39015063919636	Then what do you propose?
mdp.39015063919636	Then you fear something terrible may happen? mdp.39015063919636 Then you have another problem?"
mdp.39015063919636	Then you met Sir Richard Montague?
mdp.39015063919636	Then you refuse?
mdp.39015063919636	Then you saw me?
mdp.39015063919636	Then you think I am mistaken?
mdp.39015063919636	Then?
mdp.39015063919636	This room is built into the old Norman keep, is n't it?
mdp.39015063919636	Unless what?
mdp.39015063919636	Was such an attempt made after you left the house?
mdp.39015063919636	We talk thus without embarrassment, senor; is it not so? mdp.39015063919636 Well, are you willing to put it to the test?"
mdp.39015063919636	What am I saying, Dick?
mdp.39015063919636	What are you doing to him?
mdp.39015063919636	What are you going to do with it?
mdp.39015063919636	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063919636	What con- ditions?
mdp.39015063919636	What d'ye want?
mdp.39015063919636	What did you do?
mdp.39015063919636	What do you say, Pauline?
mdp.39015063919636	What do you want?
mdp.39015063919636	What does this mean, Sir Richard?
mdp.39015063919636	What have you been doing to yourself?
mdp.39015063919636	What have you done with the string of black pearls?
mdp.39015063919636	What is it, Sin? mdp.39015063919636 What is the mean- ing of this?"
mdp.39015063919636	What on earth do you mean, Sir Richard? ” he exclaimed, stopping and staring at me with an expres- sion of utter amazement. mdp.39015063919636 What on earth does this mean, Philip?"
mdp.39015063919636	What was it?
mdp.39015063919636	What were you doing up at the Court last night?
mdp.39015063919636	What's underneath? mdp.39015063919636 When Philip left us to go to bed he was perfectly all right, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063919636	Where did you see him?
mdp.39015063919636	Where have they gone?
mdp.39015063919636	Where is she?
mdp.39015063919636	Why be stubborn, Philip?
mdp.39015063919636	Why did you hand them over to me?
mdp.39015063919636	Why did you never tell me about this before, Philip?
mdp.39015063919636	Why do you keep me in torture? mdp.39015063919636 Why has n't Vernon carried him off? ”"Hanged if I know,"Drew muttered, scratching his head in perplexity.
mdp.39015063919636	Why not? mdp.39015063919636 Worried about something, Dick?"
mdp.39015063919636	Yes, if you like,she answered,"I'll be alone, but that wo n't matter, will it?"
mdp.39015063919636	You agree to Professor Xavier's terms?
mdp.39015063919636	You are Professor Xavier?
mdp.39015063919636	You are certain he was drugged?
mdp.39015063919636	You do n't happen to have a secret chamber in the thickness of these wall, do you?
mdp.39015063919636	You do n't know what he came for?
mdp.39015063919636	You do n't say?
mdp.39015063919636	You do not like Sin?
mdp.39015063919636	You imply that I am not telling the truth, eh?
mdp.39015063919636	You mean there is no drug that would act in that way so speedily?
mdp.39015063919636	You mean they're getting away by aeroplane?
mdp.39015063919636	You mean to settle here now?
mdp.39015063919636	You mean — it's the other one, the man you call Curtiss?
mdp.39015063919636	You met Sir Richard Montague in the hall last night?
mdp.39015063919636	You recollect your pal, Guy Fenton, who got mixed up in a treasure hunt?
mdp.39015063919636	You saw me coming down the stairs?
mdp.39015063919636	You say he's probably asleep?
mdp.39015063919636	You say it was shortly after half past twelve that you saw Philip in the hall?
mdp.39015063919636	You think I do n't resemble him?
mdp.39015063919636	You think he enjoys good health, Mr. Vernon? ” I said, after a moment's silence. mdp.39015063919636 You think it was n't a fake"then?"
mdp.39015063919636	You think she may have been down here?
mdp.39015063919636	You think somebody's been listening?
mdp.39015063919636	You think the Chinaman may have something to do with it?
mdp.39015063919636	You were half asleep, recovering from the effects of the drug and you may have taken them — unconsciously, shall we say? mdp.39015063919636 You will smoke, huh?
mdp.39015063919636	You've discovered some- thing?
mdp.39015063919636	.?"
mdp.39015063919636	123 FRIDAY TO MONDAY"But surely you do n't intend to sit still and do noth- ing about it?"
mdp.39015063919636	219 FRIDAY TO MONDAY"But why?"
mdp.39015063919636	240"THE THREE BELLS""You anticipate further disguise?"
mdp.39015063919636	86 THE HERMIT'S CAVERN"Is that a condition?"
mdp.39015063919636	A cave is always thrilling, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063919636	Am I to be attacked and insulted in my own house?"
mdp.39015063919636	And Philip — Arnington — did you see him?"
mdp.39015063919636	And paper?"
mdp.39015063919636	And why did he begin"My dear Montague"?
mdp.39015063919636	And why should n't a foreign chauffeur wear earrings if he pleased?
mdp.39015063919636	And you have examined these finger- prints?"
mdp.39015063919636	Any other conditions?"
mdp.39015063919636	Are you afraid of something happening to Philip?
mdp.39015063919636	Are you in love with Philip and has he asked you to marry him?"
mdp.39015063919636	Arnington suddenly burst into wild laughter.."What's this fellow talking about, Dick?"
mdp.39015063919636	As for Vernon, how did I know that he had not some sinister part in the mysterious drama that was being enacted?
mdp.39015063919636	Blenkinsop?"
mdp.39015063919636	But Drew has promised —""To keep you out of it?
mdp.39015063919636	But how could I be certain?
mdp.39015063919636	But suppose you're right, how do you account for Philip's giving you those pearls?"
mdp.39015063919636	But the'"233 FRIDAY TO MONDAY this old mansion?
mdp.39015063919636	But what purpose would be served by recording such a minute description?"
mdp.39015063919636	But where can Philip be?
mdp.39015063919636	But where on earth did you spring from and how did you manage to get hold of the Chinaman's clothes?"
mdp.39015063919636	But who?
mdp.39015063919636	But why?
mdp.39015063919636	Come, why should we not be friends?"
mdp.39015063919636	Could anything be wrong at Arnington Court?
mdp.39015063919636	Could it be that Joan was worried about the possibility of her brother's marrying Miss Vernon?
mdp.39015063919636	Could it be that this mild American journalist knew the reason?
mdp.39015063919636	Could you run down for this week- end?
mdp.39015063919636	Did he fear that a too careful scrutiny would arouse Philip's suspicions?
mdp.39015063919636	Did he realize that the pearls were the object of the attack?
mdp.39015063919636	Did it sound like a human voice?"
mdp.39015063919636	Did this aged servitor penetrate the disguise?
mdp.39015063919636	Did you mention the pearls to him?"
mdp.39015063919636	Did you pick'em up in the States?"
mdp.39015063919636	Do n't you, Philip?"
mdp.39015063919636	Do they, Arthur?"
mdp.39015063919636	Do you hear me, Dick?
mdp.39015063919636	Do you know something about architecture, Captain Mayhew?"
mdp.39015063919636	Do you prefer to talk of your own free will, Sir Richard, or must we use the needle?"
mdp.39015063919636	Do you promise?"
mdp.39015063919636	FRIDAY TO MONDAY"I suppose it is n't reasonably possible that two men should have exactly the same finger marks?"
mdp.39015063919636	Funny, is n't it?
mdp.39015063919636	Granted that Arnington is really Curtiss, why should he have handed these things over to me?"
mdp.39015063919636	Had Joan and her brother quar- reled?
mdp.39015063919636	Had Vernon carried off his victim so hastily that he had taken neither the time nor the trouble to close them?
mdp.39015063919636	Had Xavier and his gang fled?
mdp.39015063919636	Had he discovered any- thing further, I wondered?
mdp.39015063919636	Had he given us up in disgust and returned the car to the garage?
mdp.39015063919636	Had it been fashioned, I wondered, by some Tracy of long ago whose very life had depended upon a swift and undis- coverable retreat?
mdp.39015063919636	Had somebody uttered the words or did I only imagine them?
mdp.39015063919636	Had the revolver shots found a vital mark on pilot or machine, I wondered?
mdp.39015063919636	Had the shattering glass raised the alarm?
mdp.39015063919636	Have a cigar?"
mdp.39015063919636	Have one of mine?"
mdp.39015063919636	Have you got any matches?"
mdp.39015063919636	Have you heard of them?"
mdp.39015063919636	Have you nothing definite to fix your mind on; no single incident that made a special impression?"
mdp.39015063919636	Have you seen him?"
mdp.39015063919636	He wanted the pearls and the envelope, but I refused to tell him I did n't tell him, did I, Dick?
mdp.39015063919636	His daughter even and young Radcliffe?
mdp.39015063919636	How could I tell her of my suspicion that the man she proposed marrying was a confirmed drug taker?
mdp.39015063919636	How could I tell you then of the months and months of weary struggle I have had in the attempt to wean him from a soul- blasting habit?
mdp.39015063919636	How did you get here?"
mdp.39015063919636	How on earth did Philip come by them?
mdp.39015063919636	I guess you're well acquainted with Lord Arnington?"
mdp.39015063919636	I hope the prospect does n't appall you, Sir Richard?"
mdp.39015063919636	I suppose you did n't think it strange to find a road mender working after six on a Saturday?"
mdp.39015063919636	I suppose you've known him for some time?"
mdp.39015063919636	I wonder what's happened to Mayhew?"
mdp.39015063919636	If I sprang, what would my hands encounter?
mdp.39015063919636	If you will permit me to examine these beneath a stronger light?"
mdp.39015063919636	In the first place who are you?
mdp.39015063919636	Is it true that you are going in for aviation also? ” He laughed softly.
mdp.39015063919636	Is n't he some kind of an inventor? ”"That's right, ” Arnington answered."
mdp.39015063919636	Is that you, Pauline?
mdp.39015063919636	Is this valley always so deserted?"
mdp.39015063919636	It is a kindness after all, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063919636	It's a mighty old family, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063919636	Lord Arnington to- day? ” or some-"He's gone, sir,"was the somewhat startling “ He left about nine- thirty.
mdp.39015063919636	Meantime, will you and Brian Mayhew make yourselves entirely at home?
mdp.39015063919636	Now do you get me?"
mdp.39015063919636	Now what's that guy up to hand- ing round the soup in the Arnington house?
mdp.39015063919636	Now, tell me, do you know anything of the Princess Paranoff?"
mdp.39015063919636	Or suppose that Drew arrived and we were left undisturbed and were not able to unlock the secret passage?
mdp.39015063919636	Or was it not Philip Tracy after all?
mdp.39015063919636	Perhaps you remember his friend Drew, an actor journalist and general adventurer, who was with him in most of the tight places?
mdp.39015063919636	Perhaps you'd be so kind as to put in a word with Lord Arnington on my behalf?"
mdp.39015063919636	She's —""But what the devil has she got to do with Arning- ton Court?"
mdp.39015063919636	Should I ask her to marry me now or should I wait another opportunity?
mdp.39015063919636	Should I wait to be attacked or ought I to spring upon my adversary and gain the advantage of a surprise?
mdp.39015063919636	So she knew that Philip took drugs?
mdp.39015063919636	Suppose we look in your pocket?"
mdp.39015063919636	Suppose, then that Arnington, or Vernon or the Chinaman were to enter the hall before Drew turned up, what was to be my course of action?
mdp.39015063919636	Surely Vernon would see that?
mdp.39015063919636	Surely there has n't been a robbery?"
mdp.39015063919636	The old dungeons?"
mdp.39015063919636	The question was, would we be in time to save Philip from the awful fate that threatened him?
mdp.39015063919636	Then who?
mdp.39015063919636	Understand?"
mdp.39015063919636	Vernon?"
mdp.39015063919636	Was I dream- ing?
mdp.39015063919636	Was he to be left out of the problem or did he constitute a new difficulty?
mdp.39015063919636	Was it Philip or was it not?
mdp.39015063919636	Was it a mere coincidence that Pauline Vernon should have selected me to guide her to that very spot?
mdp.39015063919636	Was it a mere coincidence that the others had been carried off to golf?
mdp.39015063919636	Was she telling a pack of lies?
mdp.39015063919636	Was that well- known figure a stranger to me, an ex- convict named Ctfrtiss?
mdp.39015063919636	Was there any mystery at all?
mdp.39015063919636	Was this an attempt to trap me into be- traying how much I suspected?
mdp.39015063919636	Were n't you all at Charterhouse and Trinity together? ” 21 FRIDAY TO MONDAY"We"were, for our sins,"I answered.
mdp.39015063919636	Were the terms of Mayhew's invitation the same as mine?
mdp.39015063919636	Were these ap- parently innocent remarks intended to carry an ulterior meaning?
mdp.39015063919636	Were they father and daughter?
mdp.39015063919636	What are we all doing here?"
mdp.39015063919636	What are you doing over there?"
mdp.39015063919636	What could have prompted this fellow Curtiss, consciously or subcon- sciously, to behave as he did?"
mdp.39015063919636	What did it mean?
mdp.39015063919636	What did you do with them when you took them from this room?"
mdp.39015063919636	What do you gain?
mdp.39015063919636	What do you propose to do?"
mdp.39015063919636	What do you think you're paid for?"
mdp.39015063919636	What had hap- pened to Drew?
mdp.39015063919636	What had happened to me after that scuffle before the door of Silwell Hall?
mdp.39015063919636	What has Lord Arnington got to do with all this?"
mdp.39015063919636	What has happened to- night?
mdp.39015063919636	What have they done with him?
mdp.39015063919636	What is this drug?"
mdp.39015063919636	What on earth was worrying the child?
mdp.39015063919636	What the deuce have you and I got to do with one an- other?"
mdp.39015063919636	What the devil do you want?"
mdp.39015063919636	What was he looking for?
mdp.39015063919636	What was the Chinaman doing, I wondered?
mdp.39015063919636	What was the mystery about Arnington Court?
mdp.39015063919636	What was this American journalist's game?
mdp.39015063919636	What would he say if I were suddenly to produce from my pocket the little box and the envelope that lay there so snugly?
mdp.39015063919636	What's the time?"
mdp.39015063919636	When do we start?"
mdp.39015063919636	Where am I?"
mdp.39015063919636	Where are they?
mdp.39015063919636	Where could he be going?
mdp.39015063919636	Where is Pauline now?"
mdp.39015063919636	Where tfie devil are you?"
mdp.39015063919636	Where was I?
mdp.39015063919636	Where was he going at that time of night?"
mdp.39015063919636	Where's Sin?
mdp.39015063919636	Why are you so anxious about the servants at Arnington Court?"
mdp.39015063919636	Why did he turn so suddenly reticent upon the mention of the Vernons?
mdp.39015063919636	Why had they taken her brooch and left me all my possessions save a pocketbook that was difficult to examine carefully in the dim light of the cave?
mdp.39015063919636	Why should 181 FRIDAY TO MONDAY Arnington act so strangely with regard to the pearls?"
mdp.39015063919636	Why should he have thrust them upon me?
mdp.39015063919636	Why should n't a British peer employ foreign chauf- feurs if he wanted to?
mdp.39015063919636	Why should she have chosen me as her guide instead of Philip, I wondered?
mdp.39015063919636	Why should we be at cross purposes?"
mdp.39015063919636	Why should you keep me in suspense?
mdp.39015063919636	Why the whistle, Reggie?"
mdp.39015063919636	Why was he so anxious to prevent Vernon from recovering the pearls?
mdp.39015063919636	With last night's scene fresh in my mind, how could I put trust in Philip's sincerity?
mdp.39015063919636	Would Drew never come?
mdp.39015063919636	Would he never come?
mdp.39015063919636	Would his fingers encounter some handle or fastening on the other side of the door by means of which it might be opened?
mdp.39015063919636	Would the enemy be upon us before we could escape from the room?
mdp.39015063919636	You ask what I gain?
mdp.39015063919636	You do n't mean to say you have n't heard of Pauline Vernon?"
mdp.39015063919636	You do n't sup- pose, for instance, that Lam entirely ignorant of your career in America, or of the reason why you left that country?"
mdp.39015063919636	You have the girl there?"
mdp.39015063919636	You hear the sea?"
mdp.39015063919636	You mean that Mr. Bangs was a disguise?"
mdp.39015063919636	You mean...?"
mdp.39015063919636	You recollect he asked for an autograph in his album?
mdp.39015063919636	You will stop the night, senor?
mdp.39015063919636	You've probably heard of Professor Xavier?".
mdp.39015063919636	You've seen him, of course, Sir Richard?"
mdp.39015063919636	she has n't gone? ” “ Who?"
mdp.39015063919636	she has n't gone? ” “ Who?"
mdp.39015063919636	“ Did n't you meet him in the hall last night?"
mdp.39015063919636	“ How much have you discovered?"
mdp.39015063919636	“ So you know that? ” he asked, more quietly.
mdp.39015063919636	“ What d'you suppose this means? ” I queried.
mdp.39015063919636	“ What's queer? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063919636	“ You wandered into the hall last night while · Sin was asleep?".
mdp.39015063919636	“ You've heard that too? ” he- said.
mdp.39015030140043	Artists do n't always stick to hard- boiled facts. ” “ Are you familiar with the four Laws of Thought? ” he inquired. mdp.39015030140043 Did he ever tell you when he was going over to see Vail? ” “ Frequently, sir."
mdp.39015030140043	He wanted you to marry his granddaughter? ” Vail stiffened immediately. mdp.39015030140043 He was gon na sign it, was n't he?"
mdp.39015030140043	I understand that you and Vail were out for dinner? ” She nodded. mdp.39015030140043 I'm not so sure this case is n't up his alley. ” “ You think Morse was murdered? ” I ejaculated.
mdp.39015030140043	Is it purple? ” “ Dear me, no. mdp.39015030140043 Is it?
mdp.39015030140043	Is there a secret doorway between your house and this one? ” he asked. mdp.39015030140043 May I ask the name of it, Miss Morse? ” “ The first volume of Browning's Men and Women."
mdp.39015030140043	Miss Morse, do you refuse to answer the question?
mdp.39015030140043	Otherwise it would have been quite impossible. ” “ What would?
mdp.39015030140043	Perhaps a wet towel on your head while you lie down in a darkened room might be of some as- sistance? ”It do n't do no good!
mdp.39015030140043	The ashes have been emptied recently? ” Westborough inquired. mdp.39015030140043 Was it that seri- ous? ” Baines bowed apologetically.
mdp.39015030140043	Well, did you find any signs of a ladder being used? ” O’Ryan wanted to know. mdp.39015030140043 Were you here when Foster tried the door? ” THE PURPLE PARROT 21"Well, what's the matter with you?
mdp.39015030140043	Were you here when Foster tried the door? ” THE PURPLE PARROT 21Well, what's the matter with you?
mdp.39015030140043	Why did you and Morse quarrel? ” I asked, resum- ing my inquiry at the point we had reached prior to the advent of Miss Guild. mdp.39015030140043 Yes, Barry? ” Minutes were flying, minutes that were more precious than emeralds.
mdp.39015030140043	You are not even interested in learning that your unwitting accomplice is now in the hands of a com- petent psychiatrist? ” “ Damn you!
mdp.39015030140043	You have it, have you not, Mr Foster? ” I answered by taking it from my pocket and handing it to him. mdp.39015030140043 ( I was willing to THE PURPLE PARROT 247 “ Have you gone clean screwy?
mdp.39015030140043	122 THE PURPLE PARROT “ Did you look at this pet watch of yours any other time during the evening? ” the captain questioned.
mdp.39015030140043	156 THE PURPLE PARROT “ What?"
mdp.39015030140043	18 THE PURPLE PARROT “ How are ya, Terry?"
mdp.39015030140043	268 THE PURPLE PARROT “ If Vail is guilty you'll help me to bring him to justice, wo n't you? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	290 THE PURPLE PARROT “ Well?"
mdp.39015030140043	50 THE PURPLE PARROT “ Say, who is this Wells, anyhow?"
mdp.39015030140043	6 ‘ Did n't you know about the will he was going to sign?'
mdp.39015030140043	A cigar called Sir Andrew for in- stance? ” Baines's voice sounded positive.
mdp.39015030140043	A paper knife?"
mdp.39015030140043	A week?
mdp.39015030140043	After the inquest-"“ When will the inquest be held?"
mdp.39015030140043	All right, I'll wait for him, Foster. ”"Is there anything else, sir? ” Baines wanted to know.
mdp.39015030140043	All set to get her out on a writ, I bet? ” “ Wrong guess,"I answered, taking out my letter.
mdp.39015030140043	And I should also judge that he pos- sessed a very loud and carrying voice?"
mdp.39015030140043	And Matilda Sampson gives him an airtight alibi. ”"I wonder if there is such a thing as a really airtight alibi?"
mdp.39015030140043	And Sylvia?
mdp.39015030140043	And did you find her when you ran up- THE PURPLE PARROT 17 stairs?"
mdp.39015030140043	And good God, what's this?"
mdp.39015030140043	And if Steelcraft were forced to bow his head to the storm?
mdp.39015030140043	And it is said to make an affectionate and amusing household pet. ” “ What about its color? ” I reminded.
mdp.39015030140043	And not even particularly well done?
mdp.39015030140043	And she'd have to 40 THE PURPLE PARROT have strong wrists — probably used to playing lots of golf or tennis. ” Strong wrists?
mdp.39015030140043	And the purple parrot was the only object of ade- quate value and sufficiently small size to serve his purpose. ” “ What purpose?"
mdp.39015030140043	And then may I suggest the grilled mutton chops with kidneys?
mdp.39015030140043	And then what?
mdp.39015030140043	And there were n't any bloodstains, either. ” “ How about the windows? ” O'Ryan asked.
mdp.39015030140043	And we've sure got that. ”"Have you located Wells?"
mdp.39015030140043	And what brand of cigar did he favor?
mdp.39015030140043	And you did n't happen to find a bottle of ammonia or javelle water in Miss Morse's room, did you?
mdp.39015030140043	Another drink, Foster?"
mdp.39015030140043	Any other time do? ” “ You do n't understand.
mdp.39015030140043	Any servants?"
mdp.39015030140043	Anything miss- ing there? ” “ I'm not sure, sir, ” Baines faltered.
mdp.39015030140043	Are my figures exact so far, Mr Fos- ter? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015030140043	Are you able to obtain a key to the Morse home? ” “ I guess so.
mdp.39015030140043	Are you ať all familiar with the phenomena of post- hypnotic suggestions? ” “ Post- hypnotic suggestions? ” Sylvia repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	Are you ať all familiar with the phenomena of post- hypnotic suggestions? ” “ Post- hypnotic suggestions? ” Sylvia repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	Are you sure that footprints or the marks of a ladder would necessarily appear?"
mdp.39015030140043	Are you with me or against me?"
mdp.39015030140043	Baines claims that a guy by the name of Wells, no first name known, dropped in some time before nine in the evening. ” “ Well?"
mdp.39015030140043	Baines — Morse's butler- and Matilda Samp- son, the cook. ” “ Are they downstairs? ”"In the kitchen.
mdp.39015030140043	Brutally, Mack asked: “ Was that knife in his chest?"
mdp.39015030140043	But I'll have the truth if I-"“ May I ask Mr Wells a few questions?"
mdp.39015030140043	But how am I to get the money?"
mdp.39015030140043	But how do you know they're not synthetic?"
mdp.39015030140043	But it is all a blank until I saw Barry. ” “ Not very helpful are you, Miss Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	But to give up Sylvia?
mdp.39015030140043	But what did the fellow next door say when Morse started to haul down his ironwork? ” “ Mr Vail had given his consent, sir. ”"Vail?"
mdp.39015030140043	But what did the fellow next door say when Morse started to haul down his ironwork? ” “ Mr Vail had given his consent, sir. ”"Vail?"
mdp.39015030140043	But what motive 102 THE PURPLE PARROT could he have?
mdp.39015030140043	But why does this window happen to be unlocked just on this particular night at this particular time?"
mdp.39015030140043	But why in blazes did this fellow Smith do it? ” “ Smith emigrated from New Zealand, ” Westborough reminded.
mdp.39015030140043	But would Mack and O’Ryan?
mdp.39015030140043	But you're not going back that way, Foster? ” “ Not as long as you're willing to let me out the front door.
mdp.39015030140043	Can you spot it from the alley, Foster? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015030140043	Chinese? ” “ It's Latin, sir, ” Baines explained humbly.
mdp.39015030140043	Cold- bloodedly, you determined to kill him! ” “ I killed him?"
mdp.39015030140043	Comfort her?
mdp.39015030140043	Could I believe his story?
mdp.39015030140043	Could n't you have known something was wrong when you first saw it?
mdp.39015030140043	Could n't you have lied to them — lied for her?
mdp.39015030140043	Did Morse ask for a receipt? ” “ Yes, I gave him a receipted invoice. ” “ What became of it? ”"Is it missing?
mdp.39015030140043	Did Morse ask for a receipt? ” “ Yes, I gave him a receipted invoice. ” “ What became of it? ”"Is it missing?
mdp.39015030140043	Did Morse ask for a receipt? ” “ Yes, I gave him a receipted invoice. ” “ What became of it? ”"Is it missing?
mdp.39015030140043	Did Morse have any enemies? ” “ Of course he had enemies,"Vail replied without hesitation.
mdp.39015030140043	Did Morse order his cigars by mail?
mdp.39015030140043	Did he catch you getting drunk at the races? ” “ The wine, sir, was from his own stock."
mdp.39015030140043	Did he tell you that? ” “ No, he did n't, ” Matilda returned at once.
mdp.39015030140043	Did it concern Foster? ”"I have already refused to discuss it, ” Sylvia said regally.
mdp.39015030140043	Did n't I make Murphy mop up your kitchen last night? ” “ That's so,"Matilda agreed, somewhat mollified.
mdp.39015030140043	Did n't you see Morse any time to- night? ” “ No sir.
mdp.39015030140043	Did you ever see it? ” “ Yes. ” Wells's eyes were fixed on the oaken top of the refectory table.
mdp.39015030140043	Did you know that?"
mdp.39015030140043	Did you or did you not hear voices from the study while you were waiting downstairs for Miss Morse? ” I started.
mdp.39015030140043	Did you suc- ceed in verifying your conjecture? ” “ Oh yes.
mdp.39015030140043	Did your grandfather ever belong to an association of rare book collectors?"
mdp.39015030140043	Do n't you know this is in his district? ” I had n't known, but the doorbell pealed again before I was able to confess my ignorance.
mdp.39015030140043	Do you have an appointment? ” I answered that I did n't, but that I was calling on an urgent legal matter.
mdp.39015030140043	Do you know what kind of cigars Mr Morse smoked? ” “ Corona Coronas, sir. ” “ Anything else?
mdp.39015030140043	Do you know what kind of cigars Mr Morse smoked? ” “ Corona Coronas, sir. ” “ Anything else?
mdp.39015030140043	Do you remember? ” Her smile was a little wistful.
mdp.39015030140043	Do you see? ”"You bet I see! ” Pickens ejaculated.
mdp.39015030140043	Dr Hildreth, do you remember the body of a certain Elmo Swink? ” “ Good Lord, yes! ” the doctor exclaimed.
mdp.39015030140043	Either from the next room or from the hall? ” “ No,"she returned promptly.
mdp.39015030140043	Every book checked with both sets of cards. ” “ What about your hidden door? ” I reminded mali- ciously.
mdp.39015030140043	Finally: “ Could Mr Baines, while out of the room, go upstairs without your knowledge? ” the coroner inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	Foster, have you any idea what the fellow could be looking for? ” I shook my head.
mdp.39015030140043	Foster? ” “ Do n't know you from Adam, ” said Vail, and turned his back.
mdp.39015030140043	From the kitchen I could not have heard the front door close, sir. ” “ Did you see Morse when you took Wells upstairs? ” “ No sir.
mdp.39015030140043	Get it?"
mdp.39015030140043	Get the idea, Baines? ” He got it, all right, as I could tell by the sudden look of horror on his face.
mdp.39015030140043	Had it been a mis- take about his date or what that had led him to return so unexpectedly?
mdp.39015030140043	Had it been just a ghastly practical joke?
mdp.39015030140043	Has it occurred to you that the hiring of a new servant is rather an intimate, personal service?"
mdp.39015030140043	Have n't we met somewhere? ” Stubby Mustache grunted.
mdp.39015030140043	Have n't you had enough of murder cases yet?"
mdp.39015030140043	Have these windows been opened since you came? ”"They were closed when we got here,"O'Ryan in- formed.
mdp.39015030140043	Have you any idea why he should desire to purchase such a dwelling?"
mdp.39015030140043	Have you ever handled it- to open letters or anything like that?"
mdp.39015030140043	Have you evidence that will stand up in court? ” There was a derisive snort from the other end of the wire.
mdp.39015030140043	He asked bluntly,"Where'd it happen?"
mdp.39015030140043	He came right back. ” “ And he did n't leave the room any other time later? ” “ No.
mdp.39015030140043	He had made one, had n't he? ” It had come at last — but I was calmer than I thought I would be!
mdp.39015030140043	He ought to be quiet the rest of the night, but he'll probably be all right tomorrow. ”"Can I ask him a few questions?"
mdp.39015030140043	He picked up the receipted invoice, which was THE PURPLE PARROT 205 “ You think it's valuable?"
mdp.39015030140043	He wanted five thousand to keep quiet. ”"He get it? ”"He got six months instead!
mdp.39015030140043	He was a stranger to me. ” “ Can you describe him? ” “ I can try, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	He was! ” “ What happened?"
mdp.39015030140043	He went last Monday as usual, I suppose? ” “ Yes sir. ” “ It's dated Wednesday,"Mack speculated aloud.
mdp.39015030140043	His secretary was typing so we talked downstairs. ” “ What about?"
mdp.39015030140043	How long ago had that been?
mdp.39015030140043	How long do you think it takes to deliver a pack of letters?
mdp.39015030140043	How long were you gone?"
mdp.39015030140043	How much did Morse pay you? ” “ Twenty- five dollars a week, ” she answered.
mdp.39015030140043	How? ” “ Through the medium of another hypnosis.
mdp.39015030140043	However, he had never made an actual physical inspection, and"“ Well, how did he get on to you? ” O'Ryan wanted to know.
mdp.39015030140043	However, we were home by midnight. ” “ Not before? ”"Perhaps a minute or two earlier. ” She pointed through the open door to the hall.
mdp.39015030140043	I added, earnestly, if melodramatically, “ A woman's life may be at stake. ” “ Sylvia Morse's? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015030140043	I believe that in the course of the conversation tonight someone mentioned that Mr Morse had owned the dwelling but four years?"
mdp.39015030140043	I came to put back a book. ”"A book?"
mdp.39015030140043	I can give you the works! ” “ How do I know this is n't a practical joke? ” I inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	I decided not to notify the police un- til I had talked to you first. ” “ Notify the police?"
mdp.39015030140043	I do n't have anything against him, though. ” “ How long have you been with Mr Morse? ”"Four years.
mdp.39015030140043	I got that from the butler. ” “ What time was it when you screamed?"
mdp.39015030140043	I guess you've earned that. ” “ Shall we begin by adjourning to the study?
mdp.39015030140043	I had made that request of him. ” “ You asked him for cash?
mdp.39015030140043	I had to wash in cold water, and they even took away my comb and compact. ” “ Took away your compact?"
mdp.39015030140043	I hope you do n't mind my getting per- sonal. ” “ Call that getting personal?"
mdp.39015030140043	I inquired impressively, “ Brenda, are you sure that Vail ever did return your key? ” “ Gosh! ” she exclaimed.
mdp.39015030140043	I know you would. ” “ What have these men been saying to you?"
mdp.39015030140043	I lit one for her and asked:"Have you any money, darling? ” “ No, they took my purse."
mdp.39015030140043	I only have Hudson. ” “ Did n't Morse even have a chauffeur?"
mdp.39015030140043	I promise you you wo n't be bored by him. ” “ Westborough?
mdp.39015030140043	I suppose there's some in the refrigerator? ” “ At present there is not, but I can easily procure some.
mdp.39015030140043	I told Heze- kiah Morse the whole story, and that's the real reason why we quarrelled. ” Was the man telling the truth?
mdp.39015030140043	I want them to know the truth. ” The truth?
mdp.39015030140043	I'm not quite sure. ” “ No?"
mdp.39015030140043	If I could play the imbecile long enough, “ Had the blood you saw commenced to coagulate? ” the coroner inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	In all the newspapers tomorrow?"
mdp.39015030140043	In my kitchen. ” “ Alone? ” “ No, Baines was with me from dinnertime on.
mdp.39015030140043	Is he dead? ” shrieked Matilda from the doorway.
mdp.39015030140043	Is he physically strong enough to have done the stabbing? ”"I should think so.
mdp.39015030140043	Is it or is n't it worth ten grand to get her out of the mess she's in?
mdp.39015030140043	Is it possible that this vol- ume is a first edition? ” “ I think it is."
mdp.39015030140043	Is n't he a real celeb- rity?"
mdp.39015030140043	It had a large bay window facing south, through which the sun was cheerfully streaming “ Will you be seated, gentlemen?"
mdp.39015030140043	It opened through Miss Morse's room. ” THE PURPLE PARROT 173 “ There are only two doors to the room in which you found Morse? ” Teagan inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	Just after I came back from lunch. ” “ Morse did n't invite you to eat with him? ” THE PURPLE PARROT 129 call at three.
mdp.39015030140043	Killed at midnight, you say? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015030140043	Know what it was? ” “ No sir. ” “ Morse go out today? ”.
mdp.39015030140043	Know what it was? ” “ No sir. ” “ Morse go out today? ”.
mdp.39015030140043	Lieutenant Mack, do you still have Mr Morse's purple parrot in your possession? ” Mack brought it from a drawer of his desk.
mdp.39015030140043	Mack asked, with pretended casualness, “ What was this matter you were going to talk over with your grandfather?
mdp.39015030140043	Mack declaimed with easy assurance, “ The door might have been open, then, Miss Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	Mack greeted us with a curt: “ What the hell's it all about?"
mdp.39015030140043	Mack growled, “ Did you know Foster had drawn up a will disinheriting Miss Morse if she refused to marry you?"
mdp.39015030140043	Mack sniffed doubtfully, “'Murder while I smile', eh, Westborough?
mdp.39015030140043	Mack thundered belligerently, “ Why did n't you tell me about it?"
mdp.39015030140043	Mack, I'm telling you once and for all that Miss Morse can not be compelled to incriminate herself. ” “ No?"
mdp.39015030140043	May I come over right away? ” She laughed banteringly.
mdp.39015030140043	May I go down for her? ” “ Yeh, if you do n't take all night about it. ” I found Sylvia abstractedly turning the pages of a magazine.
mdp.39015030140043	Miss Morse, do you play much golf or tennis? ” 66 THE PURPLE PARROT “ A good deal of tennis."
mdp.39015030140043	Miss Sampson and I were together in the kitchen when we heard the scream. ” “ Scream? ” O'Ryan echoed.
mdp.39015030140043	Morse had n't visited it for a week any- how. ” “ What's your theory about the thousand dollars in cash?"
mdp.39015030140043	Mr Morse brought it from a lower drawer to show me. ” “ What made him do that? ” Wells's face appeared rather strained, I fancied.
mdp.39015030140043	Mr Morse found out about that. ” “ Est, Est, Est? ” O'Ryan echoed.
mdp.39015030140043	Mr Morse's been murdered! ”"Eh? ” In Vail's befuddled condition words required a considerable interval to reach his consciousness.
mdp.39015030140043	One blunt, the other sharp, but was there not a certain psycho- logical association...?
mdp.39015030140043	Only rarely would he ask me to bring one of those bottles from the basement. ” “ Where do the bookies come in? ” O'Ryan asked.
mdp.39015030140043	Or a hundred years?
mdp.39015030140043	Or did he? ” O’Ryan shrugged his broad shoulders.
mdp.39015030140043	Or had the Voice's unknown agents seen me enter the police station and reported the fact to their employer?
mdp.39015030140043	Or was I blaming the house when the blame should be placed squarely upon the shoulders of Hezekiah Morse?
mdp.39015030140043	Or were they?
mdp.39015030140043	Or will they move me to some other place? ” “ Very likely.
mdp.39015030140043	Outside of his books, Morse kept no valuables in his house of which you are aware? ” “ No, he had a safety deposit box.
mdp.39015030140043	Perhaps even as early as eight- thirty. ” “ And when did he leave? ” “ I am unable to say.
mdp.39015030140043	Play'em to win, place or show? ” “ Usually to win, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	Say, how long ago did they find this fellow? ” “ An hour and a quarter, ” said Mack after he had referred to his watch.
mdp.39015030140043	Say, what's the low- down on the Morse case, Mr Foster? ” They were talking about it already!
mdp.39015030140043	See this pool of blood? ” I was n't likely to overlook that sight.
mdp.39015030140043	See what you do?
mdp.39015030140043	Shall we suppose that, at the same time he drew up the rough draft for the will, Morse also wrote a letter?
mdp.39015030140043	Should I begin my search in this room?
mdp.39015030140043	Surely you have not forgotten him? ” I had not.
mdp.39015030140043	Surely, you do not wish your dessert to take precedence over even the preliminary cocktail? ” Mack grinned.
mdp.39015030140043	THE PURPLE PARROT 51 “ Anything else, sir? ” Baines inquired respectfully.
mdp.39015030140043	THE PURPLE PARROT 61 “ Say, how'd Vail feel about marrying Sylvia Morse? ” O'Ryan cut in.
mdp.39015030140043	THE PURPLE PARROT 65 “ At that time did you hear the noise of a person moving?
mdp.39015030140043	That help any? ”.
mdp.39015030140043	That your idea? ”"It is exactly my idea, ” Westborough corroborated.
mdp.39015030140043	The brutally phrased innuendoes dinned in my own ears as Sylvia continued: “'Were you engaged to Foster?'
mdp.39015030140043	The door to the study was closed, and I con- versed with him from the hall. ” “ You did n't see Wells go inside? ” “ No sir.
mdp.39015030140043	The front bedroom upon the other side of the hall was Morse's, I presume? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015030140043	The next thing I can recall is seeing Barry in the hall. ” “ Was the door from the library to the hall locked?"
mdp.39015030140043	The rest is up to you — and the cops, god- damn'em. ” “ Do you know how it was done? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	There is a back staircase, is n't there? ” he asked me.
mdp.39015030140043	There's got to be! ” “ Suppose that Morse did not die at twelve o'clock? ” he suggested.
mdp.39015030140043	There- fore, either Miss Morse's story of not going into her grandfather's room is entirely true, or-"“ Or what?"
mdp.39015030140043	This is Mr Foster and this is Mr Westborough. ” “ Westborough? ” Wells repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	To cover my chagrin I asked exasperatedly: “ Did n't anything at all happen while I was away?"
mdp.39015030140043	VI HAVE I MENTIONED reporters?
mdp.39015030140043	VIII “ WAS MORSE in the habit of drawing large sums of money from the bank?"
mdp.39015030140043	Vail, what time'd you get home this evening? ” Vail's shoulders shrugged once more.
mdp.39015030140043	Vail, why could n't he?"
mdp.39015030140043	Wait- THE PURPLE PARROT ing vainly in anterooms where many are called but few are chosen?
mdp.39015030140043	Was Sylvia talking to her grandfather upstairs?
mdp.39015030140043	Was he still looking for the pur- ple parrot?
mdp.39015030140043	Was it that way when you first saw it? ” “ It was not, ” I said.
mdp.39015030140043	Was n't his name Wells? ” “ I do not know, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	Was n't this window usually kept locked — like the other one is now? ” “ I believe so,"I assented.
mdp.39015030140043	Was she seeing that stain for the first time?
mdp.39015030140043	Was this, I wondered, the obstacle that had stopped Westborough?
mdp.39015030140043	We met in the hall, sir. ” “ Where was Miss Morse? ” Teagan put in.
mdp.39015030140043	We must find that flower, Mr Foster. ” “ Are you with me? ” I fired at him point- blank.
mdp.39015030140043	Wearing out shoe leather walking hostile streets?
mdp.39015030140043	Well, Miss Morse, what about it? ” “ How could I know whether anybody else was on the floor or not? ” Sylvia asked.
mdp.39015030140043	Well, Miss Morse, what about it? ” “ How could I know whether anybody else was on the floor or not? ” Sylvia asked.
mdp.39015030140043	Well, what of it?
mdp.39015030140043	Westborough telephoned, sir. ” “ Did he leave a message? ” “ He said that he would be here shortly, sir."
mdp.39015030140043	What did he want? ” “ He was a very intimate friend of Mr Morse's,"Baines informed reprovingly.
mdp.39015030140043	What do you say?"
mdp.39015030140043	What had he done to give him the respect of such men as Lieutenant Mack and Captain O'Ryan?
mdp.39015030140043	What had he said?
mdp.39015030140043	What is it you were saying about Sir Andrew? ” “ You sent out a form letter asking for recommenda- tions, ” I reminded.
mdp.39015030140043	What kind of dirty frame- up is this? ” “ Frame- up is a hell of an ugly word, ” was Mack's comment.
mdp.39015030140043	What kind of fellow is this Vail? ” By all rules and regulations Sylvia should have preferred Tom Vail to Barry Foster!
mdp.39015030140043	What makes you think that? ” “ Baines had never seen Wells before, and the name conveyed nothing to Vail nor to Miss Morse.
mdp.39015030140043	What shall I answer? ” “ Nothing at all.
mdp.39015030140043	What sort of beard was it? ” “ A gray Vandyke, sir. ” “ Gray, huh?
mdp.39015030140043	What sort of beard was it? ” “ A gray Vandyke, sir. ” “ Gray, huh?
mdp.39015030140043	What time will you be at the Sherman?"
mdp.39015030140043	What time'd you say your boss got in tonight? ” “ I did n't say, ” Hudson evaded.
mdp.39015030140043	What was Morse's greatest interest in life? ” “ His books, ” I answered without hesitation.
mdp.39015030140043	What was the answer, then?
mdp.39015030140043	What was true, what was false, and how could the two be sifted?
mdp.39015030140043	What would I have done, Foster, if the window had been locked? ” My hand was already on the telephone, but I with- drew it abruptly.
mdp.39015030140043	What would you do with American Motors today?"
mdp.39015030140043	What'd he do with all his time?
mdp.39015030140043	What's left?
mdp.39015030140043	What's next, Chief? ”"You can look for a bloodstained glove,"Mack or- dered.
mdp.39015030140043	What's that little toy sticking into his chest?
mdp.39015030140043	What's the answer, wise guy? ” Westborough, his eyes twinkling, replied for me.
mdp.39015030140043	What's the dope from your little thermometer? ” “ As nearly as I can tell the body temperature con- firms the evidence of blood coagulation."
mdp.39015030140043	When shall I meet you? ” “ Tomorrow night. ” “ Where? ” “ By the Buckingham fountain.
mdp.39015030140043	When shall I meet you? ” “ Tomorrow night. ” “ Where? ” “ By the Buckingham fountain.
mdp.39015030140043	When was he stabbed, and did it happen here, and could he have done it himself?"
mdp.39015030140043	Where do these questions lead to? ” “ I'm not sure they lead anywhere,"I answered.
mdp.39015030140043	Where do we go from here, Terry? ” O'Ryan led the way upstairs.
mdp.39015030140043	Where was Miss Morse at that time?"
mdp.39015030140043	Where was Morse?
mdp.39015030140043	Where were the servants?
mdp.39015030140043	Where would it lead to, Baines?"
mdp.39015030140043	Where's his bedroom?"
mdp.39015030140043	Whisky and White Rock. ” “ How many highballs did you have?"
mdp.39015030140043	Who else besides Wells called on Morse today?"
mdp.39015030140043	Who found him- you or Miss Morse? ” I hesitated before answering.
mdp.39015030140043	Who the devil are you? ” “ Police, ” Mack said succinctly and showed his shield.
mdp.39015030140043	Who wants to be the first?
mdp.39015030140043	Who was he?
mdp.39015030140043	Who'd pay thirty- five grand for such a thing?"
mdp.39015030140043	Why could n't he have been wrong for C. once? ” Then I noticed a glimmer of light under the closet door.
mdp.39015030140043	Why did n't Vail open the windows and let the room air out? ” 262 THE PURPLE PARROT"Angbodded.
mdp.39015030140043	Why had n't I perceived the truth?
mdp.39015030140043	Why had n't he gone home after you left him?"
mdp.39015030140043	Why not?
mdp.39015030140043	Why should he?"
mdp.39015030140043	Why the cross- examination?"
mdp.39015030140043	Why was n't Vail asked to select the new butler? ” Why not indeed?
mdp.39015030140043	Why was n't Vail asked to select the new butler? ” Why not indeed?
mdp.39015030140043	Why was the glove not found? ” “ Because it was carried out of the house,"Mack snapped.
mdp.39015030140043	Why was the study door locked from the inside? ” “ That is a vexatious problem, ” he admitted.
mdp.39015030140043	Why was the'purple parrot thus specified?
mdp.39015030140043	Why?
mdp.39015030140043	Why? ” To that tortured cry I had no answer.
mdp.39015030140043	Why? ” “ I should like to have one.
mdp.39015030140043	Will I have to appear in court?"
mdp.39015030140043	Will you be kind enough to come this way?"
mdp.39015030140043	Will you do it?
mdp.39015030140043	Will you help us to plan the advertising for Sir Andrew?
mdp.39015030140043	Would he pull such a low- down trick just to get that? ” Westborough was sure of it.
mdp.39015030140043	Would n't that explain why Morse cashed the check? ”"Then why was there not a receipt for the sum in Mr Morse's desk? ” Westborough inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	Would n't that explain why Morse cashed the check? ”"Then why was there not a receipt for the sum in Mr Morse's desk? ” Westborough inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	You and Vail did a good bit of drinking, did n't you?
mdp.39015030140043	You said something about a letter? ” “ A letter about Sir Andrew — the cigar. ”.
mdp.39015030140043	You say someone's been murdered? ” “ Mr Morse! ” I shouted in exasperation.
mdp.39015030140043	You're Sylvia Morse's lawyer?"
mdp.39015030140043	You're not actually going to enter Mr Vail's house, sir? ” I nodded determinedly.

mdp.39015030140043	» “ What did you say? ” O'Ryan asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ A legal matter, eh?
mdp.39015030140043	“ All evening, sir. ” “ All evening?
mdp.39015030140043	“ All of these cards, you say, are in Mr Morse's handwriting?
mdp.39015030140043	“ All right with you, Captain, if I see Miss Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ All right, then, have a ciga- rette? ” He shook his head.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Also in the hall, sir. ” “ Did you see her come out of her room?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Although you did a first- rate job as it was. ” “ You listened? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ An Italian white wine. ” “ What's a Wop wine got to do with Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ An even grand for just one book? ” Mack repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	“ An intensive cross- exami- nation might reveal-"“ That she's lying to shield Baines?
mdp.39015030140043	“ And THE PURPLE PARROT 111 unless the murderer was thoughtful enough to wipe the knife"“ They'll find mine, you mean?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ And now shall I go down and sue out a writ of habeas corpus?"

mdp.39015030140043	“ And now,"he continued, “ shall we press our luck with regard to another matter? ” “ What matter? ” I inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	“ And now,"he continued, “ shall we press our luck with regard to another matter? ” “ What matter? ” I inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	“ And the other? ” “ That Dorothy Spendall called on you Wednesday afternoon."
mdp.39015030140043	“ And then you screamed?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ And then? ” he questioned.
mdp.39015030140043	“ And what did Wells have that Morse wanted? ” Westborough continued to catechize.
mdp.39015030140043	“ And who might you be? ” His manner was bluff, yet not offen- sive.
mdp.39015030140043	“ And you, gentlemen? ”"Lieutenant Mack of the homicide squad.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Another burglary, sir. ” “ What?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Any messages for me?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Anyone watching at the back?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Anything else? ” THE PURPLE PARROT 39 The doctor pointed to the clothing he had cut away from the wound.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Anything to say about it, Foster? ” I managed to curb the reply that sprang to my tongue.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are n't you a bit melodra- matic?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are the police holding Miss Morse? ” “ I'm sorry to say that they are. ” “ That's nonsense! ” she exploded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are these star rubies?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you crazy?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you crazy? ” A faint hint of a smile crossed the butler's solemn face.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you crazy? ”"Do n't try to pretend to me that you were n't ac- quainted with its secret,"I admonished.

mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you leaving so soon, Mr Foster? ” “ I'm coming back tomorrow-"I paused with my hand on the doorknob.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you or are n't you? ” Teagan snarled.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you reading my mind? ” “ Not in the least,"I assured her.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Are you trying to tell me he turned into a bat and flew away? ” Phelan and McCarter entered the room at that mo- ment.
mdp.39015030140043	“ As a matter of fact what?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ At what time? ” Teagan interrogated.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Barry, he was killed?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Barry, is it true — what that detective said a little while ago?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Barry, they will question me, wo n't they?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Barry, why did he do it?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Because of Sylvia? ” I hazarded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Beg pardon, sir, but do you wish anything further of me?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Borrow it then! ” “ Who from? ” I returned.
mdp.39015030140043	“ But Dr Hildreth's opinion? ” “ It was based upon the normal time required for blood coagulation.
mdp.39015030140043	“ But I was here almost as soon as she was. ” “ Anyone else in the house?
mdp.39015030140043	“ But Mr Morse always kept his purple parrot in that drawer, and I do not see"“ Purple parrot? ” Mack repeated in a puzzled man- ner.
mdp.39015030140043	“ But face powder is n't poison, is it?
mdp.39015030140043	“ But if you're right and they are rubies, how the devil did they ever get sunk in a lousy little purple parrot?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ But that smooth wall?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ But what if the bank does n't have that many old bills? ” “ It better have, or we do n't do business. ” “ All right,"I assented.
mdp.39015030140043	“ By the way, is tomorrow night Matilda's night out? ” “ No sir."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Chief, if that purple parrot was thrown from a window of this house, I'll eat the thing myself. ” “ Purple parrot? ” Sylvia echoed.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Coagulate? ” I echoed, striving to keep my face an uncomprehending blank.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Could you hear the conversation? ” “ I did not remain in the room while Mr Morse was talking."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did Morse give you cash or a check? ” Wells replied,"He was good enough to pay in cash.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did Mr Foster remain downstairs the entire ten minutes prior to your scream? ” “ Yes, ” she affirmed steadfastly.

mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you actually say that Uncle Hezekiah has been killed? ” “ Murdered,"Mack confirmed callously.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you close the door from your room into the hall? ” “ I think I did.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you find this in Wells'house? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you get Foster's story, Terry?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you go near the desk?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you or did you not go near the body of your grandfather? ” he demanded curtly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Did you think it was anything more than a stage setting for a first- class holdup?".
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do n't know, eh?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do n't you like him? ” O'Ryan asked shrewdly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do you admit that's true?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do you know what time he came?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do you know, Foster? ” “ It was nine minutes after twelve, ” I said truthfully.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do you like Miss Morse? ” Westborough interro- gated with surprising abruptness.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do you remember me?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do you see how he holds this knife?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Do your duties, Baines, include the firing of the furnace?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Ever hear of a passage between this house and Vail's?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Extremely simple, is it not?
mdp.39015030140043	“ First, is Vail's servant, Hudson, a particular pal of yours?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Foster, ” Mack demanded peremptorily, “ what do THE PURPLE PARROT 53 99 you know about Morse's will?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Gave the name? ” O'Ryan repeated in a puzzled manner.
mdp.39015030140043	“ George Smith?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Had any article other than the purple parrot been removed from the house? ” “ Baines said no; nothing so far as he knew.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Had he been with you for some time prior to that?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Had it commenced to thicken, or was it still a thin liquid? ” There was no escape from it.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Had you left the kitchen at any time prior to the scream?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Have any idea who he could be? ” Vail shook his head.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Have you gone screwy, Westborough?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ He did n't come through your room while you were waiting at the dressing table? ”"No."
mdp.39015030140043	“ He did n't?
mdp.39015030140043	“ He had a key? ” “ Baines knows I had one made. ” “ I did not know that it was intended for Mr West- borough, sir."
mdp.39015030140043	“ He was n't asking favors of me after yesterday afternoon. ” “ You quarrelled with him?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Hell, you're Morse's executor, ai n't you?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Hello, Paul, have you still got the form standing on the Beatty Furniture spread?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Here?
mdp.39015030140043	“ His daughter's? ” “ Granddaughter's, ” I corrected.
mdp.39015030140043	“ How can we find this George Smith? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ How did Morse have his money invested?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ How did the drinks affect you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ How do you know she had just gone into her grand- father's room?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ How he left the house without being seen? ” “ Hell, yes!
mdp.39015030140043	“ How long ago was that? ” “ Shortly after you left.
mdp.39015030140043	“ How long has Baines been with Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ How long were you in the kitchen tonight, Baines?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ How long'd you stay?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ How much was he worth? ” “ I could n't say exactly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ How the hell can we trace a call from one dial phone to another?
mdp.39015030140043	“ How'd you get hold of this, Foster? ” I explained about the Pickens letter- and how it had happened to be in my dinner jacket.
mdp.39015030140043	“ However,"I added, “ now that you're here, why not wait for West- borough's slant?
mdp.39015030140043	“ I am nearly sure of it. ” “ Who knew it was worth real money?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ I believe that we are going in the same di- rection, Mr Foster? ” I slowed my pace.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I can see a very simple and very obvious reason to justify his trouble. ” “ To smuggle the rubies through the customs? ” Mack asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I did for Gronstein, did n't I? ” “ Yeah, you can shoot,"Mack laughed contemptu- ously.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I did n't notice. ” “ Did he come inside with you and stay for a while? ” “ Nc, he drove on at once.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I did n't notice. ” “ Did n't you try it to see? ” “ I do n't remember. ” “ No?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ I did n't notice. ” “ Did n't you try it to see? ” “ I do n't remember. ” “ No?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ I do n't know. ” “ You do n't remember going near the deceased?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ I do n't like to see her take the rap for this, but who else is there?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ I found Miss Morse in the hall, sir. ”"Was Foster with her? ” O'Ryan questioned.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I thought-"“ You thought what? ” “ Well, judging from the look of things, there seems to have been an unusual amount of blood.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I understand that the prints found on the knife were blurred?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ I was here almost at once. ” “ Who're you? ” the doctor asked bluntly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ I went upstairs to speak to grandfather. ” “ What about? ” “ A personal matter."
mdp.39015030140043	“ I wonder if you are telling the truth?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ In her own room- lying down. ” “ Was the door from her room to the hall open or closed?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ In- deed?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Including a purple parrot? ” I asked, grinning.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Indeed? ” smiled Mr Westborough.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is Mr Westborough a detective, sir? ” “ An amazingly clever one, ” I informed.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is he still in the big house? ” “ He was the last I heard."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is it not a fact that you drew up several wills for Hezekiah Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is it?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is that also what Mr Westborough thinks? ” “ As I told you he's never said what he thinks.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is there by any chance an index to your grandfather's library, Miss Morse? ” “ That olive- green cabinet on the desk.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is this the gown you wore on the evening of Novem- ber 18?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Is your name Wells?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ It had n't begun to thicken? ” the doctor questioned.
mdp.39015030140043	“ It will be a front- page sensation?
mdp.39015030140043	“ It would be more accurate to say that it was re- stored. ” “ Restored?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Keys to what?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Kinda on the spot, were n't you? ” O'Ryan chuckled.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Knowing this, do you still wish to testify?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Lieutenant Mack wishes to ask a few questions of Mr Foster. ”"Wo n't you have a chair, Mr Westborough? ” Sylvia invited.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Lieutenant Mack, may I borrow your flashlight?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Mack? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Matilda's memory came back?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ May I have your permission to examine it, Miss Morse?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Meaning? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Miss Morse did not remove the ring prior to her incarceration? ” “ I do n't think so.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Miss Morse, were you sitting in such a way that you'd have been sure to see Foster if he had come out? ” “ Do n't answer! ” I cried.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Miss Morse, what was the first thing you saw when you opened the door to the library? ” Her face was ash- white.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Miss Morse, why was Mr Foster downstairs?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Miss Morse, you told us you came to your room at twelve o'clock? ” “ Yes,"Sylvia confirmed.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Money, Barry?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Morse's books are valu- able, and he took every precaution. ” “ Then why the hell do we find it unlocked?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Mr Whealon? ” I hazarded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ My poor darling?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ No sir. ” “ Did you see her before or after you noticed Mr Foster? ” “ I hardly know, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ No? ” said Vail.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Not even to go to the toilet? ” Matilda's face reddened.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Not really, sir? ” “ He does, but he wo n't call him anything but Mr Xi.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Nothing, sir. ” “ Anyone bring a package to him?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Now what about this desk?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Now what kind of fellow did it? ” “ What the devil does the city pay you for? ” the doctor demanded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Now what kind of fellow did it? ” “ What the devil does the city pay you for? ” the doctor demanded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Now, what about that purple parrot? ” O'Ryan demanded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Of course you do n't know it's gone? ” “ No, ” she answered, ignoring his tone.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Oh, he had a stock, did he?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Oh, is it?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Oh, it's you, Barry? ” “ They've arrested Sylvia Morse! ” I exclaimed.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Oh, you did n't?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Okay, Doc, now tell us whether it was murder or suicide. ”"Expect the coroner's office to do all the brainwork? ” the doctor grumbled.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Once more the world is revealed in its true perspec"“ Who was the guy who hit you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Only Mr Vail, sir. ”'“ The fellow next door, huh?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Otherwise, the new draft merely alters some trust provisions with the exception of-"“ Of this clause relating to Sylvia Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ O’Ryan?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Perhaps you've wondered why Morse should will such a large portion of his property to me?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Purple parrot? ” Vail repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Quite amusing, sir. ” “ Where's Matilda? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Reading a good yarn? ” I smiled.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Remember Westborough?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Say, what sort of guy is he? ” O’Ryan, who had continued his search of the desk, interrupted before I could answer.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Say, what the devil's eating you fellows? ” Westborough answered for us.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Say, what time did you empty this wastebasket? ” “ This morning, sir. ” “ Then Morse unwrapped some sort of parcel since then.
mdp.39015030140043	“ See those, Baines?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Shall these pilgrims start with blue points?
mdp.39015030140043	“ So Morse did himself in?
mdp.39015030140043	“ So it's Hezekiah Morse, is it? ” the doctor was say- ing.
mdp.39015030140043	“ So what?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ So you're working with the police again, eh? ” “ You honor me too much, ” Mr Westborough mur- mured.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Some- thing like jelly?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Sorta thick, is n't it? ” the doctor went on.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Strange, is it not, that one's eyesight should be so utterly dependent upon two curved pieces of glass?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Suppose that we temporarily table the question of the purple parrot? ” he suggested.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Suspicious as hell, ai n't you? ” “ I believe in going halfway to meet trouble. ” “ Well, get a rod yourself.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Take a look at this iron candlestick, will you?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Take a look at this key, will you? ” “ Hall- door key?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Take a look at this key, will you? ” “ Hall- door key?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ That did n't happen to be while Baines was out of the room?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ That is correct. ” “ How then are you able to identify them with such assurance? ” A broad smile swept across the face of the German.
mdp.39015030140043	“ That is, I was visiting a friend. ” “ What's his name and address?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ That take ten minutes? ” “ The operation frequently requires an even longer period, I believe,"said Mr Westborough from the sofa.
mdp.39015030140043	“ That's none of your busi- ness! ” “ Well, were you? ” O'Ryan persisted.
mdp.39015030140043	“ That's the knife, though?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ The Bibliophile Club?
mdp.39015030140043	“ The books are arranged alphabetically by authors? ” Westborough inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	“ The killer's got to go some place, has n't he?
mdp.39015030140043	“ The same key unlocks the door upstairs? ” “ That's usually true in an apartment, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ The same key unlocks the door upstairs? ” “ That's usually true in an apartment, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ The stone absorbs the red part of the spectrum, which is strongest in artificial light. ” “ Is that why you wanted the ring?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Then the murderer, sir, is- is Mr Vail? ” “ He is, ” I said grimly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Then the police will say that I killed grandfather? ” I hung my head in mute acquiescence.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Then there was no one on this floor but yourself and your grandfather? ” I could n't stand for that.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Then you think Vail's lying? ” The arrival of the waitress prevented his immediate answer.
mdp.39015030140043	“ There are only four rooms on the second floor- but why do we have to go into all this? ” He ignored my objection.
mdp.39015030140043	“ There were none on the market of that particular year, sir. ” “ How would Morse know that?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Therefore, Vail would naturally keep your key to open that door? ” “ Of course, ” she nodded.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Think it could be a woman's job? ” I had been dreading this question- even though I sensed its inevitability.
mdp.39015030140043	“ This been checked for prints yet? ” “ Has n't been touched, Doc.
mdp.39015030140043	“ This her night off? ” “ That day falls on a Thursday, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ This thing is evi- dence enough — even if there had n't been something screwy about his phone call. ” “ Westborough called you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Through which door? ” “ The door from Miss Morse's room, sir."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Vail is going to get a third of two million dollars, is n't he?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Vail, did you know that Sylvia Morse is en- gaged to Foster? ” Vail's start was genuine.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was Morse right- handed? ” “ He was, sir,"Baines informed.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was Mr Baines with you when you heard the scream? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was Mr Vail still to get his third share of the estate? ” inquired Mr Westborough.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was Vail drunk?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was he carrying a package when he returned?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was it worth very much, Miss Morse? ” “ A terra- cotta statuette?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was it worth very much, Miss Morse? ” “ A terra- cotta statuette?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was it you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was n't it extremely unlikely that such consent would have been granted? ” This question, however, was n't up to his usual shrewdness.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Was the door to the study from Miss Morse's room open or closed? ” “ Open, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ We want you over there now. ” “ You do n't know who did it? ” Mack's look was long and searching.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well then, Doc, you'd say that Morse was killed at midnight? ” “ Certainly no earlier, if Foster's watch is right!"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, are n't we? ” Her eyes gazed beyond me, into the dim shadows of the upper stairs.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, did he go out the front door at those times? ” “ Always, sir."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, please try and remember this: How'd that blood get on your dress?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, then, did he make any threats against Morse? ”"I ca n't say that he did, ” Matilda admitted.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, what time did he get in?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, what you doing here?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well, why the devil did n't you say so?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Well? ” O'Ryan demanded irritably.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Were any volumes missing from the Morse library? ” “ Just got the final report this morning."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Were the windows of the study closed and locked?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Were they on the blade or the handle?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What about Wells? ” “ Wells? ” Vail repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What about Wells? ” “ Wells? ” Vail repeated.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What about a ladder? ” persisted the inquiring juror.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What about his hat?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What are you looking for? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What book?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What can I do for you, Foster? ” “ I'm after information.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What did Mr Morse do yesterday, Miss Guild? ” I began.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What did Wells have to say for himself?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What did become of'em?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What did the man look like? ”"A rather small man, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What did you do then? ” “ We entered the study."
mdp.39015030140043	“ What difference does it make?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What do you know about Morse's purple parrot? ” “ Purple parrot?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What do you know about Morse's purple parrot? ” “ Purple parrot?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What do you know about these holes under the windows? ” “ There was at one time a small decorative balcony, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What do you know about this? ” O'Ryan interro- gated gruffly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What do you mean by that crack?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What does that suggest to you, Terry?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What else do you want to know?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What in hell'd he get out of life?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What kind of guy was he? ” “ He had a fair, stubby mustache, light- brown hair, and pale- blue eyes, ” I was able to recall.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What letter?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What man with two million dollars has n't? ” “ Well, do you know anyone that might've killed him? ” “ No."
mdp.39015030140043	“ What man with two million dollars has n't? ” “ Well, do you know anyone that might've killed him? ” “ No."
mdp.39015030140043	“ What prints were on the knife?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What the devil language are you talking?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What time should I be there? ” “ God almighty, do you want a wet nurse?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What time should I be there? ” “ God almighty, do you want a wet nurse?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What time was it when you went upstairs? ” “ Did n't I tell you? ”"No."
mdp.39015030140043	“ What time was it when you went upstairs? ” “ Did n't I tell you? ”"No."
mdp.39015030140043	“ What was his first name? ” “ He did not inform me, sir."
mdp.39015030140043	“ What was that?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What ’re you waiting for? ” “ My keys, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What're you driving at, Westborough? ” “ Dear me, ” smiled the little man.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's eating you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's eating you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's he got to do with it?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's his name?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's it all about?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's on your mind now? ” “ Very little.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's the dope on Morse?
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's your line?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's your slant on this now, Terry? ” The big Irishman was staring at Sylvia.
mdp.39015030140043	“ What's yours?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Whatever can their purpose have been? ” pondered Mr Westborough.
mdp.39015030140043	“ When did Morse ask for a bottle of the Triple E? ” “ Yesterday afternoon, sir.
mdp.39015030140043	“ When did this dress become stained? ” Sylvia nervously clenched and unflexed the fingers of her right hand.
mdp.39015030140043	“ When did you see it last, Miss Morse? ” “ I ca n't say definitely. ” “ When was the last time you were in here, Miss Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ When did you see it last, Miss Morse? ” “ I ca n't say definitely. ” “ When was the last time you were in here, Miss Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ When was that? ” “ About ten o'clock."
mdp.39015030140043	“ When you came into your room, Miss Morse, did you notice the door which opens into your grand- father's room?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ When? ” “ That evening. ” “ You saw it lying on top of the desk? ” “ Why, no.
mdp.39015030140043	“ When? ” “ That evening. ” “ You saw it lying on top of the desk? ” “ Why, no.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Where does he hide the damned things?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Where have I heard that story be- fore?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Where is he?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Where should we look?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Where were you this evening, Miss Morse? ” “ With Mr Foster. ” Her voice was steady, but there was a sudden rush of color to her cheeks.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Where's the basement, Baines? ” Descending the back stairs to the kitchen I was re- minded of Westborough.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who are these two fellows?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who is Dr Trowbridge? ” West- borough inquired.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who is this Vail?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who knows? ” he continued genially.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who opened the door down- stairs? ” “ Tom.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who was doing all the screaming?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Who's George Smith? ”"The son of a man grandfather used to know when he was a boy at Dunedin.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why could n't they?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why did n't you go home? ” I hesitated, not quite sure how to word my answer.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why did you go upstairs to see your grandfather?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why did you lie to me about Morse's will, Foster? ” “ You asked me the terms of Mr Morse's will, and I told you,"I returned.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why did you wait ten minutes before going in to see your grandfather? ” “ It's not necessary to answer that question, Sylvia."
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why do n't you let them come up, Hannah? ” a man's voice called from above.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why does anyone show his curios to anyone else?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why not the door from the hall? ” “ That door was locked, sir. ” “ How did you know that?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why not the door from the hall? ” “ That door was locked, sir. ” “ How did you know that?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why not? ” he said genially.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why not?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why were you downstairs?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why “ on earth do you want a key?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why? ” Mack blandly ignored her question.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Why? ” “ Candidly, I have n't the least idea, ” Westborough replied.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Will you come to police headquarters at once?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Wonder how long this guy Vail expects us to wait here, any- way?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Would it be necessary to rest the ladder on the grass in order to enter the house? ” I persevered.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Would you like a glass of water? ” I asked.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Yeah, there's a J. Worthington Wells — address checks, too... Say, what were you saying, Foster? ” “ I'm tired of being tailed,"I snapped.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Yeh, know anyone of that name? ” “ Several people, I should imagine.
mdp.39015030140043	“ Yes, several of them. ” “ Several?
mdp.39015030140043	“ Yes? ” “ The deal's off if you tell the bulls."
mdp.39015030140043	“ You are positive that Morse's death did not occur be- fore twelve o'clock? ” “ As positive as one can ever be in these cases."
mdp.39015030140043	“ You can not deny, Mr Foster, that Mr Morse had at times been a trifle unscrupulous in his methods?
mdp.39015030140043	“ You did n't have a man following me? ” “ We did not, ” Mack said.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You did run upstairs, did n't you? ” “ The back stairs,"Baines told him.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You do n't see any blood around the room, do you?
mdp.39015030140043	“ You drew it up for him, did n't you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ You mean before I returned this evening with Mr Foster? ” Mack grunted affirmatively, “ This afternoon, somewhere around four.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You mean grand- father's? ” “ We do,"Mack said grimly.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You pay his bills, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ You still doubt me, do n't you, Foster?
mdp.39015030140043	“ You sure of that?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ You think we may be able to trace his family? ” He shrugged his slight shoulders.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You under- 26 THE PURPLE PARROT stand that every answer she makes is made voluntarily and of her own free will? ” “ Sure, ” Mack growled.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You went upstairs to get rid of your wrap?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ You were engaged to her? ” Mack asked of me.
mdp.39015030140043	“ You will pardon the intrusion, Miss Morse?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ You're engaged to the Morse girl, ai n't you?
mdp.39015030140043	“ You're sure of that? ” “ Yes sir. ” “ Did any packages come for him today through the mail or from some store?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ You're sure of that? ” “ Yes sir. ” “ Did any packages come for him today through the mail or from some store?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Your grandfather gave”-I made haste to correct myself, “ lent him money?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ Your man did n't show up?"
mdp.39015030140043	“ «'s God's truth,'the maiden said. ” “ And then you came here? ” “ No, did n't I tell you?
mdp.39015030140043	“ «'s God's truth,'the maiden said. ” “ And then you came here? ” “ No, did n't I tell you?
mdp.39015030140043	“ “ The knife was on the desk when you took it, was n't it?'
mdp.39015030140043	“'Did n't you kill him to keep him from signing the will?
mdp.39015030140043	“'Did n't you know your grandfather would disin- herit you?
mdp.39015030140043	“'Do you believe that such a strong wine is suitable, sir?'
mdp.39015030140043	“'What kind of deal?'
mdp.39015063549474	'But how,I asked,"were you sure that your second version was right?"
mdp.39015063549474	A noose? mdp.39015063549474 Aeroplane?"
mdp.39015063549474	Although you spent the afternoon with the woman who wrote them?
mdp.39015063549474	Am I arrested?
mdp.39015063549474	And General — what was the name? mdp.39015063549474 And Hope is one of your obliging friends?"
mdp.39015063549474	And Max Rothmann?
mdp.39015063549474	And Miss Eyre got an allowance?
mdp.39015063549474	And Miss Eyre too?
mdp.39015063549474	And Sir John?
mdp.39015063549474	And a politician would never commit a murder?
mdp.39015063549474	And did n't it ever occur to you to connect the words on one bit of blue paper with the word on another?
mdp.39015063549474	And finish your sketch?
mdp.39015063549474	And he lives two miles from here?
mdp.39015063549474	And now he inherits his uncle's fortune?
mdp.39015063549474	And now he inherits the Baxter fortune?
mdp.39015063549474	And she was typing continuously?
mdp.39015063549474	And stayed there alone?
mdp.39015063549474	And that made you suspect her?
mdp.39015063549474	And that was the last time you saw him alive?
mdp.39015063549474	And the South African War?
mdp.39015063549474	And the gentlemen sit over it?
mdp.39015063549474	And the gold lighter?
mdp.39015063549474	And the letters?
mdp.39015063549474	And the photograph?
mdp.39015063549474	And there is no doubt he was murdered?
mdp.39015063549474	And there were no finger- prints?
mdp.39015063549474	And they had n't?
mdp.39015063549474	And was n't the bayonet taken from the wall in front of him?
mdp.39015063549474	And when did you burn the letters?
mdp.39015063549474	And why?
mdp.39015063549474	And you believe the word of an avowed agitator?
mdp.39015063549474	And you did n't think I'd like to know?
mdp.39015063549474	Another politician?
mdp.39015063549474	Any news of Jim?
mdp.39015063549474	Any sound of voices?
mdp.39015063549474	Are n't I telling you everything?
mdp.39015063549474	Are n't you nearly ready to begin to consider who murdered the old man?
mdp.39015063549474	Are what?
mdp.39015063549474	Are you being funny?
mdp.39015063549474	Are you choosing my friends, inspector?
mdp.39015063549474	Are you still sure you know nothing about the letters on blue paper?
mdp.39015063549474	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063549474	Are you too prejudiced to see,he exploded, his red hair bristling,"that the money is a point in Rothmann's THE SCENT 61 favour?
mdp.39015063549474	Blue letters?
mdp.39015063549474	Brutus?
mdp.39015063549474	But Sir John,I interposed,"is still in your ever- contracting ring?"
mdp.39015063549474	But it may have been then? mdp.39015063549474 But she kept her own name?"
mdp.39015063549474	But the false teeth?
mdp.39015063549474	But the postcript began and ended in English?
mdp.39015063549474	But was it journalistic zeal, American enterprise, or?
mdp.39015063549474	But was n't Baxter before all things a tidy man? mdp.39015063549474 But what did you do with the word?"
mdp.39015063549474	But when did you discover her parentage?
mdp.39015063549474	But when was blackmail dropped for murder?
mdp.39015063549474	But who in the house?
mdp.39015063549474	But why the belvedere?
mdp.39015063549474	But you noticed it had been moved?
mdp.39015063549474	But you want me to find the murderer?
mdp.39015063549474	But you're sure he's innocent?
mdp.39015063549474	By the way,he said casually,"how does Mrs. Johnson spell her name?"
mdp.39015063549474	Ca n't a girl go for a fortnight to Brighton for a breath of sea air without being dragged back by a lot of flatties?
mdp.39015063549474	Ca n't a man want two women at once?
mdp.39015063549474	Can I go now, sir?
mdp.39015063549474	Can we come in, Meg?
mdp.39015063549474	Can you tell me any more about the party in the woods?
mdp.39015063549474	Can you work these things, Dale?
mdp.39015063549474	Could n't we just walk round the kitchen garden?
mdp.39015063549474	Could not a bayonet be thrown like that?
mdp.39015063549474	Did any one speak?
mdp.39015063549474	Did he ask Sir John any questions?
mdp.39015063549474	Did he say anything?
mdp.39015063549474	Did he?
mdp.39015063549474	Did n't you say Sir John had been in Canada and the Argentine?
mdp.39015063549474	Did they often dispute?
mdp.39015063549474	Did they stop?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you ever offer a bobby half- a- crown?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you hear anything while you were writing?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you hear anything?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you identify the thumb- print on the Woolworth mirror?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you move the writing- table?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you never wonder why some one should take the trouble to steal a volume of old plays?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you see any one when you came in?
mdp.39015063549474	Did you see the address of the letter?
mdp.39015063549474	Did your adoptive father like plays?
mdp.39015063549474	Did your master appear to know the name?
mdp.39015063549474	Do n't they have these knives in the States?
mdp.39015063549474	Do n't you think you had better tell me?
mdp.39015063549474	Do n't you?
mdp.39015063549474	Do you know where he is?
mdp.39015063549474	Do you mean to say you did n't see that?
mdp.39015063549474	Do you remember what sort of stuff he put down?
mdp.39015063549474	Do you think he was?
mdp.39015063549474	Do you think it happened while I was sitting there?
mdp.39015063549474	Do you think you could give me any idea what time?
mdp.39015063549474	Drinks too much?
mdp.39015063549474	Even if the Russian can show an alibi,I protested,"how can he explain the blood on his trousers?"
mdp.39015063549474	Exactly what are you getting at?
mdp.39015063549474	Goldsmith? mdp.39015063549474 Had he really been involved with Maud Johnstone?"
mdp.39015063549474	Had they been disarranged?
mdp.39015063549474	Has he gone?
mdp.39015063549474	Has he really a wound in his leg?
mdp.39015063549474	Has he? mdp.39015063549474 Has it been filled up?"
mdp.39015063549474	Has n't it ever struck you that criminals form one of the professional classes? mdp.39015063549474 Have a drink?
mdp.39015063549474	Have they brought you my second parcel? mdp.39015063549474 Have you any code signature you prefer?"
mdp.39015063549474	Have you noticed,he asked us as he bent over his packing,"that while films are quite untrue to Life, Life is very often true to the film?"
mdp.39015063549474	He's changed a good deal since then, has n't he?
mdp.39015063549474	How can he be otherwise?
mdp.39015063549474	How can you fix the time so exactly?
mdp.39015063549474	How could Mrs. de Manca?
mdp.39015063549474	How did he get to know her?
mdp.39015063549474	How did he know Max?
mdp.39015063549474	How did you know, sir?
mdp.39015063549474	How do you know all that?
mdp.39015063549474	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063549474	How do you know they're not?
mdp.39015063549474	How do you know?
mdp.39015063549474	How do you know?
mdp.39015063549474	How do you mean'we've got the key- word?'
mdp.39015063549474	How is the painting?
mdp.39015063549474	How long did that last?
mdp.39015063549474	How long did you stay there?
mdp.39015063549474	How long did your stroll last?
mdp.39015063549474	How long does it take to smoke a couple of cigarettes? mdp.39015063549474 How many letters in each word?"
mdp.39015063549474	How many words of rubbish?
mdp.39015063549474	How much later was that?
mdp.39015063549474	How's that?
mdp.39015063549474	How?
mdp.39015063549474	I know Superintendent Heppel is awfully kind; but he's got his duty to do, has n't he?
mdp.39015063549474	I suppose you mean I might have asked him?
mdp.39015063549474	If Wolland was in Paris on the night of the murder,I said,"are n't we wasting our time?"
mdp.39015063549474	If in drink you had murdered a man one night, would you take water the next?
mdp.39015063549474	If there's anything I can do to help?
mdp.39015063549474	In the Vauxhall Bridge Road?
mdp.39015063549474	In your, capacity as secretary,he said,"you may have had to deal with some letters on note- paper of that colour?"
mdp.39015063549474	Into a top shelf?
mdp.39015063549474	Is Max an old friend of yours?
mdp.39015063549474	Is Mr. Clay in love?

mdp.39015063549474	Is that a sign?
mdp.39015063549474	Is that all?
mdp.39015063549474	Is that all?
mdp.39015063549474	Is that it?
mdp.39015063549474	Is that the letter you wrote to Scotland Yard?
mdp.39015063549474	Is that what you went for?
mdp.39015063549474	Is there anything new?
mdp.39015063549474	Just a coincidence, eh? mdp.39015063549474 Know John Baxter well?

mdp.39015063549474	Lewis Hope?
mdp.39015063549474	Like that?
mdp.39015063549474	Loyal subject of King George, are n't you, Max?
mdp.39015063549474	Might n't a weak man murder?
mdp.39015063549474	Move the table, sir? mdp.39015063549474 Mrs. de Manca, I understand, gets no regular allow- ance?"
mdp.39015063549474	Mrs. de Manca, will you explain your connection with Maud Johnstone and Wolland?
mdp.39015063549474	No cry was heard?
mdp.39015063549474	No signature?
mdp.39015063549474	Not even Sir John Baxter?
mdp.39015063549474	Not even at Rothmann's lodgings?
mdp.39015063549474	Nothing?
mdp.39015063549474	Now can you tell me for what purpose Baxter put Crimes des Rois in the middle of Dodsley's Old Plays?
mdp.39015063549474	Now is it guesswork to suggest that a bandy leg throws the weight of the body on the outside of the heel?
mdp.39015063549474	Or after?
mdp.39015063549474	Or any of the books?
mdp.39015063549474	Per- haps you'd tell me what was in the rest of the letter?
mdp.39015063549474	Perhaps there are a hundred reasons why Mrs. de Manca's photograph should be on Yellow Meg's table?
mdp.39015063549474	Perhaps you will let me know what you arrange?
mdp.39015063549474	Prove what?
mdp.39015063549474	Really?
mdp.39015063549474	Shall I call her back? mdp.39015063549474 Since what?"
mdp.39015063549474	Sir Arthur's and his nephew's?
mdp.39015063549474	Sir Arthur's cousin?
mdp.39015063549474	So he settled at Lincot?
mdp.39015063549474	So you accept the window?
mdp.39015063549474	Spelt with a't?'
mdp.39015063549474	Starting off across the lower terrace, I suppose?
mdp.39015063549474	Sugar?
mdp.39015063549474	Suppose I did burn some letters?
mdp.39015063549474	Suppose,he suggested,"we analyse the evidence we have just heard?"
mdp.39015063549474	Surely you can dismiss Mrs. de Manca from your list of suspects?
mdp.39015063549474	The lower classes?
mdp.39015063549474	The notes with which he paid the money- lender,he said impressively,"bore the same numbers as THE RUN 195 uncle?
mdp.39015063549474	The reporter? mdp.39015063549474 The second was the plot to blackmail?"
mdp.39015063549474	Then he's an artist?
mdp.39015063549474	Then why did he take your name the night he went to Lincot?
mdp.39015063549474	Then you cleared away?
mdp.39015063549474	Those were his words?
mdp.39015063549474	Was Sir Arthur Baxter, M.P., J.P., M.V.O., in the habit of pushing the furniture about?
mdp.39015063549474	Was he strangled?
mdp.39015063549474	Was n't he stabbed in the back?
mdp.39015063549474	Was n't there a Miss Eyre?
mdp.39015063549474	Was that on the table?
mdp.39015063549474	Was that your car?
mdp.39015063549474	Was there anything else you noticed?
mdp.39015063549474	We?
mdp.39015063549474	Well, West?
mdp.39015063549474	Well, are n't they?
mdp.39015063549474	Well, is n't he?
mdp.39015063549474	Well, it's not so very uncommon, is it?
mdp.39015063549474	Well, what about Lewis Hope?
mdp.39015063549474	Well,I said,"did they send it?"
mdp.39015063549474	Well,said Clay, crumpling up the paper in his hand,"have you told the world what a mess the police is making?"
mdp.39015063549474	Well?
mdp.39015063549474	Well?
mdp.39015063549474	Well?
mdp.39015063549474	Were they quarrelling?
mdp.39015063549474	What Jew could bluff Sargent?
mdp.39015063549474	What about Lenin?
mdp.39015063549474	What about Light Lady?
mdp.39015063549474	What about those bayonets?
mdp.39015063549474	What did he say?
mdp.39015063549474	What did you do after you had shown Mr. Johnstone in?
mdp.39015063549474	What did you think about it all?

mdp.39015063549474	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063549474	What does Rothmann say? mdp.39015063549474 What does that mean?"
mdp.39015063549474	What for?
mdp.39015063549474	What for?
mdp.39015063549474	What impression did you get of him?
mdp.39015063549474	What letters?
mdp.39015063549474	What letters?
mdp.39015063549474	What makes you say that?
mdp.39015063549474	What makes you so sure the others were true?

mdp.39015063549474	What next?

mdp.39015063549474	Was there, then, a way out?
mdp.39015063549474	What do you do?"
mdp.39015063549474	What fresh move did that ring announce?
mdp.39015063549474	What had he started from?
mdp.39015063549474	What sort of a woman was this, fre- 146 IN SEARCH OF A VILLAIN quented by an alien conspirator as well as by a man of Baxter's position?
mdp.39015063549474	What was it about?"
mdp.39015063549474	What's it doing there?"
mdp.39015063549474	What's that about the police?"
mdp.39015063549474	What's that perfume of yours?
mdp.39015063549474	When was Sir Arthur last seen alive?"
mdp.39015063549474	Where was the man?
mdp.39015063549474	Which was it?"
mdp.39015063549474	While the artist was unlocking the bar,"Why are you so sure that Sir Arthur put that book there?"
mdp.39015063549474	Who lost two divisions on the Somme?"
mdp.39015063549474	Why ask me?"
mdp.39015063549474	Why did he choose the most awkward?"
mdp.39015063549474	Why on earth should the detective think it could interest me?
mdp.39015063549474	Will you give me his keys?"
mdp.39015063549474	With gold- rimmed spectacles and a pleasant manner?"
mdp.39015063549474	Wolland?"
mdp.39015063549474	Wolland?"
mdp.39015063549474	Would I be in- discreet?"
mdp.39015063549474	Would you choose another?"
mdp.39015063549474	You have n't unpacked it yet?
mdp.39015063549474	exclaimed the lady;"are n't the police always welcome?"
mdp.39015063549474	keep a threepenny mirror in a locked drawer?"
mdp.39015063746435	Ah,said Mrs. Norbury with a gentle and pitying smile,"had it?
mdp.39015063746435	An ancient tragedy?
mdp.39015063746435	And according to the dog?
mdp.39015063746435	And can you also tell me, sir, who Blythe is — since he is n't Blythe?
mdp.39015063746435	And do you also know, what are you going to do?
mdp.39015063746435	And now what?
mdp.39015063746435	And the new shoes to go with it?
mdp.39015063746435	And was it long after it, that the letters from Clermont- Ferrand first started?
mdp.39015063746435	And was that when he spoke to you about knowing no solicitor to turn to in England?
mdp.39015063746435	And what about Inskipp — where's he in it?
mdp.39015063746435	And when did that dawn on him?
mdp.39015063746435	And when the letters from Rennes stopped, did Mademoiselle Rackstraw and Mr. Inskipp continue to talk of Mireille and Madame de Pra? mdp.39015063746435 And where do we come in?"
mdp.39015063746435	And who is this friend of his called Mireille?
mdp.39015063746435	And you think a lady sent them to Monsieur Inskipp?
mdp.39015063746435	And you think the letters from Clermont- Ferrand were written by a lady too? mdp.39015063746435 And you think you can prove it?"
mdp.39015063746435	And — does any one else know?
mdp.39015063746435	Any complaints?
mdp.39015063746435	Any farms around?
mdp.39015063746435	Any good vineyards?
mdp.39015063746435	Any signs of a struggle?
mdp.39015063746435	Are you coming up to the Mill, too?
mdp.39015063746435	Are you sure it is the same paper? mdp.39015063746435 But are there farms which specialise in lemons?"
mdp.39015063746435	But did n't he leave his trunk here?
mdp.39015063746435	But did n't the owner, or the donator, have his name in it? mdp.39015063746435 But did you think Mrs. Whin- Browning guilty?"
mdp.39015063746435	But how can J know anything about Dover?
mdp.39015063746435	But the danger of going directly to her?
mdp.39015063746435	But this man — Earnshaw — how did he come to write to you about me?
mdp.39015063746435	But when did you first suspect Norbury? mdp.39015063746435 But who gave her her new dress?
mdp.39015063746435	But why should Mrs. Whin- Browning step into SCARE CROW 155 that particular shelter on that particular night?
mdp.39015063746435	Ca n't you put another one in, and give more details of her life next week?
mdp.39015063746435	Can he clear you? mdp.39015063746435 Could you write down how they were addressed?"
mdp.39015063746435	Did Mr. Inskipp speak French well, or would the young lady have had to talk English to him when they met?
mdp.39015063746435	Did Two- Yards tell you that one?
mdp.39015063746435	Did any one else get any letters from either of these towns?
mdp.39015063746435	Did he take it on down with him?
mdp.39015063746435	Did n't you tell me, Mrs. Norbury, that Inskipp, poor fellow, left a trunk with you here? mdp.39015063746435 Did they take any English papers at the farm?"
mdp.39015063746435	Did you ever hear any girl's name men- tioned?
mdp.39015063746435	Did you put everything into one basket? mdp.39015063746435 Do you mind telling me why you were interested in the skies here last Thursday night?"
mdp.39015063746435	Does she take back her claim to the body?
mdp.39015063746435	Dreadful affair that about Miss Rackstraw's death, was n't it?
mdp.39015063746435	Durban among them?
mdp.39015063746435	Florence's hat?
mdp.39015063746435	Four crooks?
mdp.39015063746435	Had Miss Rackstraw's passport not been handed in?
mdp.39015063746435	Had that torch any initials scratched on it?
mdp.39015063746435	Had the girl, in the portrait Inskipp showed you, golden hair, fastened back with a ribbon? mdp.39015063746435 Had this Madame de Pra any one called Mireille in her family?"
mdp.39015063746435	Had you seen it before? mdp.39015063746435 Has she written on cats at all?"
mdp.39015063746435	Has the noon- gun gone yet?
mdp.39015063746435	Have I really? mdp.39015063746435 He loves you?"
mdp.39015063746435	Hector Whin- Browning?
mdp.39015063746435	How about asking her brother?
mdp.39015063746435	How about this one — same woman — but I've altered it a little?
mdp.39015063746435	How did you come on these?
mdp.39015063746435	How do you know that the paper was English?
mdp.39015063746435	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063746435	How do you manage, if you want to play?
mdp.39015063746435	How in the world did he come to be wearing what really does sound like the clothes off the scarecrow that used to stand near the kitchen door? mdp.39015063746435 How should I know?
mdp.39015063746435	How's the marketing been?
mdp.39015063746435	I have your letter — but what is the reason of this?
mdp.39015063746435	I mean, no one would have blamed you if you had promised him, and then thrown him over? mdp.39015063746435 I say, can you lend me a box of matches?"
mdp.39015063746435	I suppose Mr. Blythe told his 42 SCARECROW sister before my husband hurried him off?
mdp.39015063746435	I suppose you can describe him?
mdp.39015063746435	I suppose you stopped at the Commissariat de Police to tell them about it? mdp.39015063746435 I suppose your solicitor would have done that, if it had come to a trial? — I mean, have concen- trated on your companion, Miss Marsh?"
mdp.39015063746435	I suppose your solicitor would have done that, if it had come to a trial? — I mean, have concen- trated on your companion, Miss Marsh?
mdp.39015063746435	I think you have had a glimpse of golden hoofs and horns, eh? mdp.39015063746435 I wonder how much money he had on him?
mdp.39015063746435	I wonder if I can see a piece?
mdp.39015063746435	I wonder if it would relieve matters if he knew, in confidence, that I am looking forward to my own marriage? mdp.39015063746435 I'm afraid not, and it's addressed to you, where?"
mdp.39015063746435	If he told you that he was arranging — say a loan — do you think he can be relied on — as to time, I mean? mdp.39015063746435 Is Mrs. Thompson her own name?"
mdp.39015063746435	Is he well- to- do? mdp.39015063746435 Is n't she beautiful?
mdp.39015063746435	Is she ill?
mdp.39015063746435	Is the office to let? mdp.39015063746435 Is the tramp a Balkan monarch in disguise?
mdp.39015063746435	Is there anything you do n't know, Du- Metri?
mdp.39015063746435	Just what did the Whin- Browning story stand for in his plans, do you think?
mdp.39015063746435	Look here, Inskipp, I can rely on that discretion of yours — absolutely?
mdp.39015063746435	May I come and have a look at the writing?
mdp.39015063746435	May I keep them for a bit? mdp.39015063746435 May I see?"
mdp.39015063746435	Mean?
mdp.39015063746435	Mireille?
mdp.39015063746435	Mistral? mdp.39015063746435 Money?"
mdp.39015063746435	Mrs. Whin- Browning's mother? mdp.39015063746435 My brother was with her?"
mdp.39015063746435	My new campaign?
mdp.39015063746435	My sister- in- law? mdp.39015063746435 Now about the letters from Rennes — did you ever see any of them lying about?
mdp.39015063746435	Now, is this the lady who left here early yesterday morning? mdp.39015063746435 Oh, Mr. Parnall,"she said now, following back on those thoughts,"when can I let my mother know?
mdp.39015063746435	Percy,echoed Laroche blankly,"Percy who?"
mdp.39015063746435	Portraits?
mdp.39015063746435	She's one of us by the way, is n't she? mdp.39015063746435 So that, before the casualties, the lady had n't much money?"
mdp.39015063746435	So you do n't expect Inskipp back directly?
mdp.39015063746435	Solomon had to decide between a baby and two women who claimed it, did n't he?
mdp.39015063746435	Solved the puzzle yet of whose husband the tramp was?
mdp.39015063746435	The lady in Rennes? mdp.39015063746435 The lines, too, arranged just the same?"
mdp.39015063746435	Then what about Mrs. Harding's lost husband? mdp.39015063746435 Then you have met her?"
mdp.39015063746435	These are from the Blythes? mdp.39015063746435 Think he was in love with her?"
mdp.39015063746435	Think not?
mdp.39015063746435	Was it Inskipp? mdp.39015063746435 Was n't there a Mademoiselle Blythe among the guests of Monsieur Norbury?"
mdp.39015063746435	Was there any one in the neighbourhood of the name of Mireille or Mir dou?
mdp.39015063746435	We must get something to carry her on"What's happened?
mdp.39015063746435	Well — I suppose the thing is to do as she wants, and keep silent, eh?
mdp.39015063746435	Well, have n't we dallied long enough in Baby- lon?
mdp.39015063746435	Were the police troublesome?
mdp.39015063746435	What about the casinos?
mdp.39015063746435	What are you two talking about?
mdp.39015063746435	What can you have done that makes him look as though he had been left a million?
mdp.39015063746435	What do you say?
mdp.39015063746435	What else could one think?
mdp.39015063746435	What financial difficulty was Inskipp in?
mdp.39015063746435	What happened here?
mdp.39015063746435	What is the use of being able to read the stars as I can, when I ca n't find out that? mdp.39015063746435 What on earth has happened, Miller?
mdp.39015063746435	What visitors have you had at the farm to- day?
mdp.39015063746435	What was she like?
mdp.39015063746435	What were you saying to Sabe that she says is n't true?
mdp.39015063746435	What's her character?
mdp.39015063746435	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063746435	What?
mdp.39015063746435	When did I first suspect him?
mdp.39015063746435	Where did he change?
mdp.39015063746435	Where does she live?
mdp.39015063746435	Where was Inskipp's room? mdp.39015063746435 Where was Monsieur Inskipp?"
mdp.39015063746435	Where's the receipt? mdp.39015063746435 Who else received letters from there?"
mdp.39015063746435	Who found the body?
mdp.39015063746435	Why did he go to that shelter? mdp.39015063746435 Why do n't you get Du- M6tri to help?
mdp.39015063746435	Why not give her other name?
mdp.39015063746435	Why should I not sketch?
mdp.39015063746435	Why should he have?
mdp.39015063746435	Would Blythe give me away?
mdp.39015063746435	Would you be so very kind as to read me the letter aloud which he wrote you?
mdp.39015063746435	Would you write a letter to my dictation?
mdp.39015063746435	Yes, but are your creeps or her white face evidence?
mdp.39015063746435	Yes, but how to find out? mdp.39015063746435 You mention a lady's name whom I do n't think you know?"
mdp.39015063746435	You picked at night?
mdp.39015063746435	You really know nothing about his affairs — his people — his family?
mdp.39015063746435	You seem very keen on Oreille, but I take it he stood for nothing in the actual crime, only in the decep- tion?
mdp.39015063746435	You think that Norbury would have sold — and vanished?
mdp.39015063746435	You think that — do you? mdp.39015063746435 You think the man Blythe is using a false name?"
mdp.39015063746435	You wish to see Maitre Francois? mdp.39015063746435 You yourself are sure of her guilt, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063746435	You're quite sure he did n't make a mistake? mdp.39015063746435 Your note to Ada?"
mdp.39015063746435	'Lost where and how?'
mdp.39015063746435	140 SCARECROW the knowledge of Florence's brother and the three other men at the Lord Bishop?"
mdp.39015063746435	178 SCARECROW Had Norbury been told something about Inskipp's plans, which made it very unlikely that the latter would change them suddenly?
mdp.39015063746435	236 SCARECROW"But how could you have got past the passport officials?"
mdp.39015063746435	6a SCARECROW"Wealthy?"
mdp.39015063746435	Address?
mdp.39015063746435	And after a bit — just at the end — what do you suppose he did?"
mdp.39015063746435	And he had had an accident next day?
mdp.39015063746435	And now what?"
mdp.39015063746435	And now, excuse the question, but how do you manage for money?"
mdp.39015063746435	And something which will pay Inskipp out?"
mdp.39015063746435	And then perhaps I can have a talk with Madame — her name?"
mdp.39015063746435	Any particular line you'd like us to follow up?"
mdp.39015063746435	Apart from any question of who had taken it, why should that letter of Inskipp's be of sufficient importance to be taken?
mdp.39015063746435	Bad crossing, I believe?"
mdp.39015063746435	Banks?
mdp.39015063746435	Besides, what about your names leaking 70 SCARECROW out?
mdp.39015063746435	Blythe's attitude suggested that he was comforting her — or was it reassuring her?
mdp.39015063746435	Blythe?
mdp.39015063746435	But Du- Metri and Sabe are in SCARECROW 259"Sealed?
mdp.39015063746435	But for her own death"echoed Pelham;"by poison meant for her sister- in- law?"
mdp.39015063746435	But how could it have had any significance to her?
mdp.39015063746435	But how did he come to think of it?
mdp.39015063746435	But how was he to bring the crime home to the man whom he believed to have done it?
mdp.39015063746435	But now, about Rackstraw at the Red Caves, how on earth are we to reach him?
mdp.39015063746435	But the Blythes are rather funny — don't you think so, Frank?"
mdp.39015063746435	But the other two?
mdp.39015063746435	But was it likely that Inskipp would have troubled to write something of no advantage but to Rackstraw?
mdp.39015063746435	But what business?
mdp.39015063746435	But what was he to do in the meantime?
mdp.39015063746435	But what was he up to?
mdp.39015063746435	But where does the postman come in?
mdp.39015063746435	But where had that connection started?
mdp.39015063746435	But why on earth that woman left it What necessity drove her?"
mdp.39015063746435	But why the interest in the skies out here?"
mdp.39015063746435	But why?"
mdp.39015063746435	But you were saying?"
mdp.39015063746435	By the way, I hope he's better?"
mdp.39015063746435	By the way, do you really want us to keep those unspeakable garments here in the safe?"

mdp.39015063746435	CHAPTER XII A COTTAGE IS A MYSTERY"Where are you off to now?"
mdp.39015063746435	Car accident?
mdp.39015063746435	Connected with South Africa, I was told, I mean by birth, or was it by her marriage?"
mdp.39015063746435	Could I get an order to look over it?"
mdp.39015063746435	Could he have found them somewhere on the farm?
mdp.39015063746435	Could she be in this?
mdp.39015063746435	Could the manager spare him a few minutes in private?
mdp.39015063746435	Could you explain a little more?"
mdp.39015063746435	Could you find it for me?
mdp.39015063746435	Did he receive many?"
mdp.39015063746435	Did he sketch?
mdp.39015063746435	Do n't let them know that it was I who told you that, will you?"
mdp.39015063746435	Do n't you suppose I know you're up to something?
mdp.39015063746435	Does it to you?"
mdp.39015063746435	Eh?
mdp.39015063746435	Either way she would be proved innocent legally, and could touch her husband's SCARECROW 159"You mean you think the man's sister did it?"
mdp.39015063746435	Even if he had had no time at the moment, would he not rather have put everything off till sometime when he should be free?
mdp.39015063746435	Finally she thought she had done it, and then what does my dear mother do but bring him in with her?
mdp.39015063746435	First of all, how did Inskipp learn who you were?"
mdp.39015063746435	From what?
mdp.39015063746435	Had Inskipp got on the track of Mrs. Whin- Browning?
mdp.39015063746435	Had Mr. Inskipp any artistic tastes?
mdp.39015063746435	Had Whin- Browning made a new will?
mdp.39015063746435	Had any one else seen the papers?
mdp.39015063746435	Had he been poisoned because he had threatened to destroy this second will?
mdp.39015063746435	Had he come to the farm, knowing whom he would find there?
mdp.39015063746435	Had he managed to do it, and had the poisoner slipped up on the crime?
mdp.39015063746435	Had it been on or for some business of the lovely, mysterious Mireille's that Clermont had been chosen — that cheque changed for notes?
mdp.39015063746435	Had it been suspected of also possibly holding whatever it was for which the man had been killed?
mdp.39015063746435	Had some new law been passed?
mdp.39015063746435	Had something unforeseen happened?
mdp.39015063746435	Had there been any suspicious characters about?
mdp.39015063746435	Had they planned to meet here, both under some pretext connected with cats?
mdp.39015063746435	He had seen a picture purporting to be of a Mrs. Thompson, he said,"but why did n't the article on her say anything about Durban?
mdp.39015063746435	He now held one out to Inskipp with the odd words,"You're a discreet chap; do you recognise that woman's face?"
mdp.39015063746435	How SCARECROW 243 I congratulate you?
mdp.39015063746435	How had they come here into Inskipp's possession, supposing him to have been the one who had put them in the trunk?
mdp.39015063746435	How's everything?"
mdp.39015063746435	How's that for a morning's work, eh?"
mdp.39015063746435	How?
mdp.39015063746435	I did n't know that Ambrose Whin- Browning had a brother — was he mixed up in the affair?"
mdp.39015063746435	I mean, I suppose she really was dead — not just stunned?"
mdp.39015063746435	I mean, does he know any one, definite, fact which would do this?"
mdp.39015063746435	I suppose we must n't boil them?"
mdp.39015063746435	I think husbands should be forced by law to insure, do n't you?
mdp.39015063746435	I wonder why she did n't try to send him a message?"
mdp.39015063746435	I'd rather look at an oak than an olive, any day""And you'd rather watch rain than sunshine — is that it?"
mdp.39015063746435	I'm sorry, but are you aware, Rackstraw, that you've borrowed close on fifty pounds from first to last?"
mdp.39015063746435	I'm very sorry if I have called for it at an inopportune moment — perhaps you will let your maid bring it to me?"
mdp.39015063746435	If they were Inskipp's, how had they got into his possession?
mdp.39015063746435	In Inskipp's room?"
mdp.39015063746435	Inskipp?
mdp.39015063746435	Inskipp?"
mdp.39015063746435	Is she alive?"
mdp.39015063746435	Is that what you mean by funny?"
mdp.39015063746435	It is too ugly to be mistaken about, eh?"
mdp.39015063746435	Like to have a look at my pussies while you're here?"
mdp.39015063746435	Look here, when did he pay his bill?
mdp.39015063746435	May I come and see them, as I would like to buy one?
mdp.39015063746435	May we look?"
mdp.39015063746435	Mireille?
mdp.39015063746435	Miss Rackstraw had gone there first, had n't she, and not been able to get a room?
mdp.39015063746435	Miss Rackstraw slipped?
mdp.39015063746435	Monsieur Norbury was there now?
mdp.39015063746435	Not merely rather like it?"
mdp.39015063746435	Nothing like Town to get one out of a rut, eh?
mdp.39015063746435	Nothing to do with — her?"
mdp.39015063746435	Now, Miller, what is it?"
mdp.39015063746435	Old convent garden?"
mdp.39015063746435	On the journey — and at the hotel that evening, he was dressed in — let me see, what was he wearing?"
mdp.39015063746435	One of the gang, as Pointer called the foursome of the Dover hotel?
mdp.39015063746435	Or a doctor?
mdp.39015063746435	Or a mother?
mdp.39015063746435	Or an investment?
mdp.39015063746435	Or had Inskipp's murder to do with some unexpected discovery on his part of foul play concerned with it — not with the older crimes?
mdp.39015063746435	Or had her own good sense triumphed?
mdp.39015063746435	Or to stop blackmail?
mdp.39015063746435	Or was it something which would link Inskipp to Mireille?
mdp.39015063746435	Or was it that beneath the surface- will another will refused to give the command?
mdp.39015063746435	Or was one about to be passed?
mdp.39015063746435	Otherwise, why the compliment of sending you down here to us?"
mdp.39015063746435	Otherwise?
mdp.39015063746435	Pointer?"
mdp.39015063746435	Pointer?"
mdp.39015063746435	Probably, thought Pointer, something which he wanted to tell him — was it about the Blythes?
mdp.39015063746435	Q'est que c'est?"
mdp.39015063746435	Rackstraw might not have seen the notice in the papers — but what of Norbury?
mdp.39015063746435	Rackstraw?"
mdp.39015063746435	Refined expression on his face, about which Doctor Harris held forth to us?"
mdp.39015063746435	Richards would have passed on, but Pointer had one more question:"Many lemon groves to be found there?"
mdp.39015063746435	SCARECROW 127"What's the matter?"
mdp.39015063746435	SCARECROW 145"Does she know you know?"
mdp.39015063746435	SCARECROW 219"From Rennes?
mdp.39015063746435	She looked round forty to me, but you ca n't tell when people feel so badly, can you — would that be the lady you wanted to see?"
mdp.39015063746435	She was so clever at getting honey, monsieur, she""One moment, Sab6, you're sure they were n't talking of your Madame de Pra?"
mdp.39015063746435	Should he send his cheque to her, or to SCARECROW 53 Maitre Francois?
mdp.39015063746435	Should she make him realise this?
mdp.39015063746435	So why send me your address?
mdp.39015063746435	So — well — should she ever ask you to let her have any money again, just have a word with me first, will you?"
mdp.39015063746435	So, will you tell me everything that happened to you after you left here?"
mdp.39015063746435	Some securities left here in his charge, I suppose, when Inskipp went to England, and which Norbury decided were too good to have to hand back?
mdp.39015063746435	Suppose that Mrs. Whin- Brown- ing recognised the hat?
mdp.39015063746435	Surely there Was no point even in giving you the list?
mdp.39015063746435	Surely, in any paragraph dealing with Mrs. Thompson there ought to be some word about Durban, and her connection with Durban?"
mdp.39015063746435	Take Mireille, now — is it a usual one around here for a girl?"
mdp.39015063746435	That's the damned wind that gives every one the pip, surely?"
mdp.39015063746435	The girl dropped her voice — her eyes wide —"She would n't have drowned herself — if she did — if she had n't done it, would she?
mdp.39015063746435	The one for the festa?
mdp.39015063746435	The trees?
mdp.39015063746435	Then as Blythe, who looked very pale, did not reply, Inskipp went on:"Has she hurt herself?"
mdp.39015063746435	Then coming close he whispered:"Does that woman strike you as innocent?
mdp.39015063746435	Then he went on to:"What can lie behind his murder?
mdp.39015063746435	Then who was in the house?
mdp.39015063746435	There was nowhere else to go 240 SCARECROW"Why not?"
mdp.39015063746435	Thompson?"
mdp.39015063746435	To whom had Mireille been led to confide her case?
mdp.39015063746435	To whom had he sent that thousand pounds in French notes?
mdp.39015063746435	V/ ait, hold the line a moment, will you?"
mdp.39015063746435	Was Miss Marsh's name in it?
mdp.39015063746435	Was he killed to prevent his giving information to the police?
mdp.39015063746435	Was he perhaps an acquaintance of Mr. Holme- Kennedy's?
mdp.39015063746435	Was she standing in a garden of lilies, bending over them?
mdp.39015063746435	Was something recorded in its counterfoils?
mdp.39015063746435	Was that Norbury's doing too, hein?"
mdp.39015063746435	Was that death what it seemed — a real accident?
mdp.39015063746435	Was the murder connected with money?
mdp.39015063746435	Well, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063746435	Were the men at the hotel certain of him?"
mdp.39015063746435	Were the words a password?
mdp.39015063746435	Were they in English?"
mdp.39015063746435	Were they still as when the accident had happened?
mdp.39015063746435	What about a farm — such a farm as Norbury's?
mdp.39015063746435	What about giving her a shot of sodium evipan and then chatting to her?"
mdp.39015063746435	What became of his clothes?
mdp.39015063746435	What became of the man and the beast?"
mdp.39015063746435	What could account for the emotion of the maid and Mrs. Thompson's changed face?
mdp.39015063746435	What could have been the motive?
mdp.39015063746435	What did the farm produce?
mdp.39015063746435	What had happened?
mdp.39015063746435	What interest had the cottage for either or both of them?
mdp.39015063746435	What of the guests at the farm?
mdp.39015063746435	What was her position?
mdp.39015063746435	What woman was connected with Inskipp so far?
mdp.39015063746435	Whatever he thought, was it safe SCARECROW 185 to leave Miss Blythe and her so- called brother free?
mdp.39015063746435	When?
mdp.39015063746435	When?
mdp.39015063746435	Where could she hide?
mdp.39015063746435	Where was it?
mdp.39015063746435	Where's Edna?"
mdp.39015063746435	Where?
mdp.39015063746435	Where?
mdp.39015063746435	Whereas I, a complete stranger""How did you learn about me?"
mdp.39015063746435	Which one do you think it is?"
mdp.39015063746435	Who had rushed up there to get the letter, or warn her not to hand it over — not to admit the man who came for it?
mdp.39015063746435	Who is she?"
mdp.39015063746435	Who was she?"
mdp.39015063746435	Why stuff me about his being in danger?"
mdp.39015063746435	Why?
mdp.39015063746435	Why?"
mdp.39015063746435	Will you hold the line just a moment?"
mdp.39015063746435	Wonder why he never pays with a cheque?
mdp.39015063746435	Would he write instead, and explain that she — Florence — had a bad attack of neuritis?
mdp.39015063746435	Would you excuse my coming in at that hour?
mdp.39015063746435	Would you like to see it?"
mdp.39015063746435	You and she were rather by way of being friends, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063746435	You are a friend?"
mdp.39015063746435	You have a rendezvous?"
mdp.39015063746435	You know — Miss Rackstraw — the one who let her hat catch fire?"
mdp.39015063746435	You say he's met with an accident?"
mdp.39015063746435	You sketch?
mdp.39015063746435	You think it had?
mdp.39015063746435	You think — it really is proved?"
mdp.39015063746435	and within a minute he heard,"Are you there?
mdp.39015063746435	enfin, might he ask just what had happened to Mademoiselle Rackstraw?
mdp.39015063746435	the voice went on,"I'm afraid that's not much good, is it?"
mdp.39015063746435	was it business of an investment type?
mdp.39015063548252	What have I done?"
mdp.39015063548252	'Slumped'sounds slangy, does n't it? mdp.39015063548252 After all, what does life in the other world amount to?
mdp.39015063548252	Ah, then Beacon Street is one of the principal streets, is it?
mdp.39015063548252	Ah, well, there was no — you'll excuse me, I am sure — no former lover in the case, was there?
mdp.39015063548252	Ah, well,stammered Trenton,"no — that is — you know — are not those water- colours in Mason's house yours?"
mdp.39015063548252	Ah,said Brenton, when he saw the Frenchman,"have you any news for me?"
mdp.39015063548252	Ah,said the other,"in reference to what?"
mdp.39015063548252	Alice,cried Stratton, impulsively grasping her hand in both of his,"do n't you think you would like Chicago as a place of residence?"
mdp.39015063548252	All?
mdp.39015063548252	Am I the foreign preference in this instance?
mdp.39015063548252	And I suppose, poor woman, she will furnish an interesting article for the paper?
mdp.39015063548252	And are you sure she is the criminal?
mdp.39015063548252	And did you take out every cent?
mdp.39015063548252	And have you not had experience enough?
mdp.39015063548252	And he wants to go there again?
mdp.39015063548252	And how about heaven and hell?
mdp.39015063548252	And how did you get in here?
mdp.39015063548252	And if I wish to find you here, how do I set about it?
mdp.39015063548252	And may not Stephen Eoland be an innocent person?
mdp.39015063548252	And might I ask what that motive is, or was?
mdp.39015063548252	And was this book published in America?
mdp.39015063548252	And what do you do with a man like that?
mdp.39015063548252	And where is that, pray?
mdp.39015063548252	And who are you?
mdp.39015063548252	And yet you tore it up?
mdp.39015063548252	And you have gone and promised him the canoe for to- morrow?
mdp.39015063548252	And you will not show it to me?
mdp.39015063548252	Anything more about the convention, George?
mdp.39015063548252	Are n't you afraid that you may find it a serious one?
mdp.39015063548252	Are there matters here, then, that you think could be improved?
mdp.39015063548252	Are they drowned, do you think?
mdp.39015063548252	Are those localities all a myth? mdp.39015063548252 But do n't you see,"argued Brenton,"that all the time spent on his present investigation is so much time lost?
mdp.39015063548252	But they do take pictures with the cataract as a background, do they not? mdp.39015063548252 Can we reach any of those places before the day is over?"
mdp.39015063548252	Can we see him for a few moments?
mdp.39015063548252	Cincinnati, eh? mdp.39015063548252 Come, come,"said the man who stood beside Brenton,"have n't you had enough of this?
mdp.39015063548252	Could you give me the name of each of them?
mdp.39015063548252	Dead? mdp.39015063548252 Dear me, Ed., is that all the progress you've made?
mdp.39015063548252	Dear me, is it so bad as that? mdp.39015063548252 Did he object to any that were there?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did you answer it?
mdp.39015063548252	Did you ever see anything in your husband's actions that would lead you to think him a man who might have contemplated suicide?
mdp.39015063548252	Did you know her husband?
mdp.39015063548252	Did you take the morphia with you, doctor?
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you know the United States are long since independent of England?
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you think that if the men managed to save themselves they would have been here by this time?
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you think, however, that we had better stay with her until she does confess? mdp.39015063548252 Do n't you think,"ventured Buel,"that a writer should rather touch on what pleases him than on what displeases him, in writing of a foreign country?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you? mdp.39015063548252 Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you have names in this spirit- land?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you honestly think they did not reach the shore?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you imagine Boland had anything to do with it?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you know any one who is interested in that sort of thing? mdp.39015063548252 Do you know if he had any enemy who might wish his death?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you know this writing?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you mean that?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you mean to insult me, Mr. Trenton, now that I am helpless?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you mean to say,said Stratton,"that there is nothing but quinine in those capsules?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you notice how the dawn slowly materializes the landscape?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you see anything particularly funny in the situation?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think I am some backwoods girl who is nattered by your preference after a day's acquaintance?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think pride a fault?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think that is true?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think,she said,"I am in the habit of saying things I do not mean?''
mdp.39015063548252	Do you wish me to sign a contract?
mdp.39015063548252	Do? mdp.39015063548252 Does Mrs. Mason know of the accident?"
mdp.39015063548252	Does it not remind you of a photographer in a dark room carefully developing a landscape plate? mdp.39015063548252 Even if she does, what of it?
mdp.39015063548252	Fahrenheit?
mdp.39015063548252	For the death of two men — if they are dead? mdp.39015063548252 Gentlemen of the jury,"was the question,"have you agreed upon a verdict?"
mdp.39015063548252	Had he ever spoken to you on the subject of suicide?
mdp.39015063548252	Has that new book of Buel's come out yet?
mdp.39015063548252	Has there been any trouble?
mdp.39015063548252	Have I not been punished enough already?
mdp.39015063548252	Have n't I told you time and again,answered Brenton, indignantly,"that it was a mistake?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you a vacant berth anywhere, purser?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you any letter from them guaranteeing the room?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you ever heard him speak of anybody in a spirit of enmity?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you looked into that Cincinnati case at all?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you seen his ticket?
mdp.39015063548252	He is an elderly gentleman, and I am sure"Oh, is he?
mdp.39015063548252	He is very conceited, you mean?
mdp.39015063548252	He must have been a warm friend of yours?
mdp.39015063548252	He wants to take some photographs of the falls, and"Photographs? mdp.39015063548252 How did the coffee cup reach him?"
mdp.39015063548252	How did you get in here?
mdp.39015063548252	How do you know I am not a journalist?
mdp.39015063548252	How do you know it?
mdp.39015063548252	How is it selling?
mdp.39015063548252	How long have you been married?
mdp.39015063548252	How many people were there at the dinner?
mdp.39015063548252	How much time do you give me on this, Mr. Stratton?
mdp.39015063548252	How much time do you give me?
mdp.39015063548252	How the deuce did you get here?
mdp.39015063548252	How would London do?
mdp.39015063548252	How would Venice do?
mdp.39015063548252	I am what?
mdp.39015063548252	I have met a bluff before,he said carelessly;"but I should like to know what makes you think that such is our defence?"
mdp.39015063548252	I presume,said Miss Sommerton,"the boatmen told you I always gave them some tobacco when I came up to see the falls?"
mdp.39015063548252	I thought you liked his books?
mdp.39015063548252	I? mdp.39015063548252 If you have not, will you undertake to answer any questions I shall ask you, and not take offence if the questions seem to be personal ones?"
mdp.39015063548252	In Cincinnati?
mdp.39015063548252	In that case, why should you object to showing me the letter?
mdp.39015063548252	In that case, will you be kind enough to tell me what you consider my faults?
mdp.39015063548252	Indeed? mdp.39015063548252 Individually or collectively?"
mdp.39015063548252	Is it so serious as that?
mdp.39015063548252	Is n't a photographer an artist?
mdp.39015063548252	Is n't that splendid?
mdp.39015063548252	Is that intended for a pun?
mdp.39015063548252	Is there, then,asked Brenton,"no communica- tion between this world and the one that I have given up?"
mdp.39015063548252	Is this a Chicago joke?
mdp.39015063548252	It passed through no other hands, then?
mdp.39015063548252	Keally,said the artist;"and who is Miss Sommerton, pray?"
mdp.39015063548252	Let me see, this is the last day of the conven- tion, is n't it? mdp.39015063548252 May I ask how you arrived at that conclusion?"
mdp.39015063548252	May we look at that book?
mdp.39015063548252	Mean? mdp.39015063548252 Mr. Buel, I believe?"
mdp.39015063548252	Much more of this, George?
mdp.39015063548252	My.dear sir,said Speed,"do n't you see he is just the man we want?
mdp.39015063548252	Never had any quarrel?
mdp.39015063548252	No chance of overtaking the ladies?
mdp.39015063548252	Not a relative, is he?
mdp.39015063548252	Not take my picture? mdp.39015063548252 Novelist?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, Ed., what's the matter?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, between ourselves, what do you think of the case?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, forgive me if I ask you if you have ever had any trouble with your husband?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, what are you going to do about it?
mdp.39015063548252	Ob, seriously, Mr. Mason, you would never think of committing such an act of sacrilege?
mdp.39015063548252	Oh ho, that's it, is it? mdp.39015063548252 Oh, Mr. Mason,"cried Miss Sommerton,"did the two men escape all right?"
mdp.39015063548252	Oh, can you?
mdp.39015063548252	Oh, do n't you? mdp.39015063548252 Oh, do you really?
mdp.39015063548252	Oh, have you? mdp.39015063548252 Oh, is Canada monarchical?
mdp.39015063548252	Oh, is it not strange that we have heard nothing from those boatmen? mdp.39015063548252 Oh, then — why, then, to- morrow's your only day, too?"
mdp.39015063548252	Once more, what have I done?
mdp.39015063548252	One of them? mdp.39015063548252 Overrate him, sir?
mdp.39015063548252	Perhaps I shall,said Brenton, with a sigh;"but, meanwhile, what am I to do with myself?
mdp.39015063548252	Sarah,she cried,"have I been dreaming, or is your master dead?"
mdp.39015063548252	Say, Buel, can you play poker?
mdp.39015063548252	Say, Buel, you're not a lord or a duke by any chance? mdp.39015063548252 Search around?"
mdp.39015063548252	Seem? mdp.39015063548252 Sensitive?
mdp.39015063548252	Sha n't we wait for the ladies?
mdp.39015063548252	She appeared at the inquest, of course?
mdp.39015063548252	So long as that? mdp.39015063548252 Still, why not try it with any of the passers- by?"
mdp.39015063548252	Sure of it?
mdp.39015063548252	Sure of that?
mdp.39015063548252	The Sommerton is right, is it not?
mdp.39015063548252	The second Chicago?
mdp.39015063548252	Then how can you be sure she is not guilty?
mdp.39015063548252	Then it is not unusual in these parts? mdp.39015063548252 Then where's the harm?
mdp.39015063548252	Then who is the guilty person?
mdp.39015063548252	Then who is the person?
mdp.39015063548252	Then you are not offended at what I have said?
mdp.39015063548252	Then you did destroy it?
mdp.39015063548252	Then you forgave him his rude letter?
mdp.39015063548252	Then you found me out, did you? mdp.39015063548252 Then you have not made any discovery?"
mdp.39015063548252	Then you still believe that I am the murderer of William Brenton?
mdp.39015063548252	They are not as big, or as enterprising as ours, are they? mdp.39015063548252 Time?"
mdp.39015063548252	To meet me?
mdp.39015063548252	Trouble about the men, is it?
mdp.39015063548252	Up? mdp.39015063548252 Want to go down there, George?"
mdp.39015063548252	War?
mdp.39015063548252	Was his name Stephen Eoland?
mdp.39015063548252	Was it the American spelling or the American piracy that made you dislike the United States?
mdp.39015063548252	Was morphia found in the coffee cup after- wards?
mdp.39015063548252	Was the gentleman in Lucerne?
mdp.39015063548252	Was there ever anything so supremely ridicu- lous?
mdp.39015063548252	Was this the book I was looking at? mdp.39015063548252 Was your husband of a jealous disposition?"
mdp.39015063548252	Well, old man,he said,"anything new?"
mdp.39015063548252	Well, what has Trenton to do with the trouble?
mdp.39015063548252	Well, wo n't you go up to the falls to- day, Miss Sommerton? mdp.39015063548252 Well,"said Speed,"you wo n't come with me, then?
mdp.39015063548252	Were your husband's business affairs in good con- dition at the time of his death?
mdp.39015063548252	What Cincinnati case?
mdp.39015063548252	What did she mean by that? mdp.39015063548252 What do you know about me?
mdp.39015063548252	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548252	What do you say?
mdp.39015063548252	What do you think might turn up?
mdp.39015063548252	What do you think of our Sunday papers here? mdp.39015063548252 What have you done?
mdp.39015063548252	What have you found out?
mdp.39015063548252	What is it, then?
mdp.39015063548252	What is it?
mdp.39015063548252	What makes you think so?
mdp.39015063548252	What next? mdp.39015063548252 What part of the country are you from?"
mdp.39015063548252	What sort of a looking girl is Jane Morton?
mdp.39015063548252	What time is it, do you think?
mdp.39015063548252	What was her name?
mdp.39015063548252	What would old Ferris say now, eh?
mdp.39015063548252	What's his name, purser?
mdp.39015063548252	What, is he dead, then?
mdp.39015063548252	What, the Sunday paper does?
mdp.39015063548252	What? mdp.39015063548252 What?"
mdp.39015063548252	When did he leave?
mdp.39015063548252	When you were in the world did you ever see a child cry over a broken toy? mdp.39015063548252 Where are you going?"
mdp.39015063548252	Where can we find him?
mdp.39015063548252	Where is she now, do you know?
mdp.39015063548252	Where's Miss Sommerton?
mdp.39015063548252	Which bank,,papa?
mdp.39015063548252	Who is that? mdp.39015063548252 Who is the author?"
mdp.39015063548252	Who poured out that cup of coffee?
mdp.39015063548252	Who poured out the coffee he drank that night?
mdp.39015063548252	Who sat next your husband at the head of the table?
mdp.39015063548252	Who was the servant?
mdp.39015063548252	Whom do you think Stratton suspects of the crime? mdp.39015063548252 Why are you so certain on that point?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why did you not tell me,she said,"that Mr. Mason had promised you the boat for the day?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why do n't you ask me to walk with you? mdp.39015063548252 Why do you not think so?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why, Ed., you look ill,exclaimed Mrs. Mason;"is there anything the matter?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why, I thought you said I was a dead man?
mdp.39015063548252	Why, Mr. Mason, how selfishly I've been acting, have n't I? mdp.39015063548252 Why, ha, ve you met your match already, Mr. Trenton?
mdp.39015063548252	Why, of course he will,answered Speed, indig- nantly;"has n't he given him his word that he will?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why, what is there wrong about that?
mdp.39015063548252	Why, what was her motive?
mdp.39015063548252	Will you allow me to explain why it is unnecessary to destroy the plate? mdp.39015063548252 Will you let me look at that page?"
mdp.39015063548252	Will you see the purser, sir?
mdp.39015063548252	Will you take my arm as we walk?
mdp.39015063548252	Will you tell me this — was it about a gentle- man?
mdp.39015063548252	Will you tell me what it was about?
mdp.39015063548252	Will,she said dreamily,"are you still asleep?"
mdp.39015063548252	Wo n't you make the appeal, Jen?
mdp.39015063548252	Yes, but suppose the article should be copied in England, or suppose sorne of the papers should get over there?
mdp.39015063548252	Yes, but what do you think of her guilt or innocence?
mdp.39015063548252	Yes,said the girl,"I believe I have been ill.""You believe; are n't you sure?"
mdp.39015063548252	Yes; why not? mdp.39015063548252 You are Mr. Trenton, the celebrated English artist, are you not?"
mdp.39015063548252	You are not rich, then, I imagine?
mdp.39015063548252	You do n't know about what time it was, do you?
mdp.39015063548252	You evidently do not believe me?
mdp.39015063548252	You had another disagreement with him before, if I might term it so, had you not?
mdp.39015063548252	You had no disagreement shortly before the dinner?
mdp.39015063548252	You have no objection, have you, to going with me?
mdp.39015063548252	You keep a book, of course, of all the prescriptions sent out?
mdp.39015063548252	You remember John Trenton, who was here in the summer?
mdp.39015063548252	You see this portrait?
mdp.39015063548252	You think nothing, then, of the disgrace of such a death — of the bitter injustice of it?
mdp.39015063548252	You were a reasonably good husband, I suppose? mdp.39015063548252 You were at one end of the table and he at the other, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063548252	You will not sail?
mdp.39015063548252	You will not tell him?
mdp.39015063548252	You're Mr. Buel, I think?
mdp.39015063548252	You're sure the book is a success on its own merits, and not through any newspaper puffing or that sort of thing, you know?
mdp.39015063548252	You, perhaps, will admit that you are interested in her now?
mdp.39015063548252	'Seen them?'
mdp.39015063548252	... 81"How much time do you give me?"
mdp.39015063548252	1 Wife or No Wife?
mdp.39015063548252	107"You will admit that you disliked Brenton?"
mdp.39015063548252	13 the spirit- land is to be preferred to the one we have left?"
mdp.39015063548252	183"Ah, you destroyed it, did you?"
mdp.39015063548252	185"Beacon Street is Boston"188 Smoking in a meditative manner 197"Mr. Buel, I think?"
mdp.39015063548252	21"Eeally?"
mdp.39015063548252	239"If they have done so?
mdp.39015063548252	241"Do you understand the meaning of the language you are using, sir?
mdp.39015063548252	255"Do n't you think the States are a little too sensi- tive about the matter?"
mdp.39015063548252	265"What did you wish to ask me?"
mdp.39015063548252	27 you are feeling better to- day?
mdp.39015063548252	41"Generous?"
mdp.39015063548252	61 her husband, or something of that sort?
mdp.39015063548252	65"Was he ever queer in his actions?
mdp.39015063548252	9"Did you leave your affairs in reasonably good order?"
mdp.39015063548252	95 Then in other parts of the paper there were little items similar to this —"If Mrs. Brenton did not poison her husband, then who did?"
mdp.39015063548252	<"Have you Hodden's new book?"
mdp.39015063548252	A Prince of fie Blood?
mdp.39015063548252	Admitting, for the sake of argument, that she cared for him, what had he to offer?
mdp.39015063548252	After a talk on that momentous question, and when George Stratton held her hand and said good- bye, she asked him —"When do you go to Chicago?"
mdp.39015063548252	Am I not right?"
mdp.39015063548252	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063548252	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063548252	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063548252	An ordinary police- man, or some one from the central office?
mdp.39015063548252	And all on account of me?"
mdp.39015063548252	And how did you manage to read it without undoing the parcel?"
mdp.39015063548252	And ruin the lumber industry of the Upper St. Maurice'?
mdp.39015063548252	And what is the piece of business?"
mdp.39015063548252	Are you busy just now?"
mdp.39015063548252	Are you sorry I am going?"
mdp.39015063548252	Are you thinking about it?"
mdp.39015063548252	As Miss Sommerton was approaching the Shawe- negan Palls, she said to herself,"What an insuffer- able cad that man is?
mdp.39015063548252	As the boat came nearer a voice shouted —"All well, Carrie?"
mdp.39015063548252	Bather generous with the cash?"
mdp.39015063548252	Besides, was n't it all rather sudden, from an insular point of view?
mdp.39015063548252	Besides, you know, was n't there the least bit of humbug about your objection to smoking as we came up the river?
mdp.39015063548252	But before you lay out any work for yourself, let me ask you if there is not some interesting part of the world that you would like to visit?"
mdp.39015063548252	But he's an amateur photographer; an amateur is not so bad as a professional, is he, Miss Sommerton?"
mdp.39015063548252	But what do you say to Naples, or Japan, or, if you do n't wish to go out of the United States, Yellowstone Park?"
mdp.39015063548252	Ca n't you get Mr. Trenton to put off his visit until the day after to- morrow?
mdp.39015063548252	Can you really?
mdp.39015063548252	Can you think of any other method that will combine duplicity with a clear conscience?
mdp.39015063548252	Crown Svo, cloth extra, with a Frontispiec, 3?.
mdp.39015063548252	D 34 FROM WHOSE BOURNE"How can you talk in that cold- blooded way?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did n't I say George Stratton was the brightest newspaper man in Chicago?
mdp.39015063548252	Did n't you buy this for yourself?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did n't you hear us shout?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did the sight pain you to any extent?
mdp.39015063548252	Did the simple griefs of childhood carry any deep and lasting consternation to the mind of a grown- up man?
mdp.39015063548252	Did you find who the physician was that signed the certificate?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did you not know that?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did you understand what we were talking about coming up here?"
mdp.39015063548252	Did you wish to see me professionally?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do I understand you to refuse to remedy the mistake( to put the matter in its mildest form) of your London people?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't they teach political economy at Boston?
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you appreciate the situation?
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you feel that way too?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you see that?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you see the force of that?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do n't you want the matter ferreted out at all?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you care to see any one?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you deny any of the facts I have recited?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you doubt my word, sir?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you follow me?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you happen to know,"said Stratton, turning to the sheriff,"how they came to that con- clusion?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you imagine for a moment there is any relation between the punishment and the fault?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you know anything about her?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you not think it is a very charming country?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you remember the girl Jane Morton?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think Stratton will show the article to Brown if he gets what you call a scoop or a beat?"
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think for a moment she will go if she imagined herself under obligations to a stranger for the canoe?
mdp.39015063548252	Do you think you have no duties, merely because you are on shipboard?"
mdp.39015063548252	Finally she answered, dreamily —"Boland?
mdp.39015063548252	Guilty of what?
mdp.39015063548252	Guilty of what?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have I your permission to make it?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you any engagements that would pre- vent you making the trip?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you anything to propose?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you been ill?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you been long in Boston?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you ever heard of the person who fell from the sun to the earth?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you ever reflected that it is always in warm countries they worship the sun?
mdp.39015063548252	Have you got any light on the subject?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you had anything to eat to- day?"
mdp.39015063548252	Have you had the pleasure of meeting a rude Englishman before?"
mdp.39015063548252	Hodden?"
mdp.39015063548252	How do you know whether I am myself or somebody else?
mdp.39015063548252	How is the great Chicago, the second Paris, and how is your circulation? — the greatest in the world, I suppose."
mdp.39015063548252	I 79"Why?
mdp.39015063548252	I admit that it is a grievance to me, as an old newspaper man, to see the number of scoops I could have on my esteemed contemporaries, but""Scoop?
mdp.39015063548252	I hope he was not seriously hurt?"
mdp.39015063548252	I presume you have no objection at all to co- operate with me?"
mdp.39015063548252	I presume you have them pretty well arranged in your own mind?"
mdp.39015063548252	I presume you remember what I told you about sitting in a canoe?
mdp.39015063548252	I said to him in your presence,'Did you poison yourself?'
mdp.39015063548252	I shall now fall back on my bluntness again, and with this question, are you betrothed?"
mdp.39015063548252	I suppose as long as my story will hold water you and Miss Sommerton will not mind?"
mdp.39015063548252	I suppose that man will be here by daybreak to- morrow?"
mdp.39015063548252	I suppose they do n't worship the sun in these parts?"
mdp.39015063548252	I suppose you are engaged to be married?"
mdp.39015063548252	I suppose you have heard the adage about not crossing a bridge until you come to it?"
mdp.39015063548252	I suppose you imagine that I am one of the rudest men you ever met?"
mdp.39015063548252	I87"Do you remember it?"
mdp.39015063548252	If it were true that he was dead, he said to himself, was not the plan outlined for him by Ferris very much the wiser course to adopt?
mdp.39015063548252	If she did not buy, why should any one else; and if nobody bought, what chance had an unknown author?
mdp.39015063548252	In short, did you ever notice anything about him that would lead you to doubt his sanity?
mdp.39015063548252	Is He the Man?
mdp.39015063548252	Is it on account of the little trouble in 1770, or when- ever it was?"
mdp.39015063548252	Is n't the lawyer going to see the letter before it is sent to the paper?"
mdp.39015063548252	Is that your name, sir?
mdp.39015063548252	Is there any such street in that city?"
mdp.39015063548252	Is there nothing of punishment and nothing of reward in this spirit- land?"
mdp.39015063548252	Is your first name J., the same as his?"
mdp.39015063548252	Just let me see the last two pages, will you?"
mdp.39015063548252	Married or Single?
mdp.39015063548252	Mason told you that?"
mdp.39015063548252	Mason;"and if a wind should happen to rise in the night, where would my pine forest be?
mdp.39015063548252	May she not change her mind?"
mdp.39015063548252	Mrs. Mason went to the stairway and called —"Eva, dear, can you come down for a moment?
mdp.39015063548252	My conduct does n't?"
mdp.39015063548252	My dear sir, did you administer this poison to yourself?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now what were the circumstances, again?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now where shall we spend the day?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now — you'll excuse me if I am frank — your wife was the one who benefited most by your death, was she not?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now, I should like to know what you think of the art movement in America?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now, am I not good?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now, can you give us a little of your time?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, promise me that you wo n't?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now, what do you say to our trying whether or not we can influence Jane Morton to do what she ought to do, and confess her crime?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now, what is the thing that I should do if I were in Cincinnati?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, what were the circum- stances of this crime?
mdp.39015063548252	Now, what would you do in my position?"
mdp.39015063548252	Now, who could have placed that poison in his cup of coffee?
mdp.39015063548252	Of course, you do not think it strong enough to convict a man of such a serious crime as murder?"
mdp.39015063548252	Once, when the music had ceased for a time, Alice tiptoed into the room, and said in a quiet voice —"How are you feeling, Will?
mdp.39015063548252	One of them shouted out the inquiry,"What's the matter with Buel?"
mdp.39015063548252	RiveslArnelie, Author of'The Quick or the Dead?
mdp.39015063548252	Shall I give you a specimen of it?
mdp.39015063548252	Shall I tell you?"
mdp.39015063548252	She flung herself terror- stricken on the bed, after her room door was bolted, and cried,'Oh, why did I do it?
mdp.39015063548252	She gives you tobacco, does she?
mdp.39015063548252	Should we, then, be prepared to say that circumstantial evidence will not be taken by an American jury as ground for the conviction of a murderer?
mdp.39015063548252	Still, independence and all, the two countries may be friends, may they not?"
mdp.39015063548252	Suppose that what you would call the worst should happen — suppose she is hanged — what then?"
mdp.39015063548252	The letter ran: —"Dear Sir,"Can you make it convenient to lunch with me on Friday at the Metropole?
mdp.39015063548252	The novelist?"
mdp.39015063548252	Then he said eagerly —"When you return, or if I go over there to see you after a year or two, may I ask you that question again?"
mdp.39015063548252	Then, placing his hand on the bell, he continued —"Whom shall I send for?
mdp.39015063548252	There is nothing unfair in that, is there?"
mdp.39015063548252	Title"Do you think I shall be missed?"
mdp.39015063548252	Trenton visited the Sbawenegan?"
mdp.39015063548252	Was She Justified?
mdp.39015063548252	Was it to William Brenton?"
mdp.39015063548252	We did n't hear them shout, did we, Miss Sommerton?"
mdp.39015063548252	Well, what is the trouble?"
mdp.39015063548252	What American woman ever lands on her native shore without trembling before the revenue laws of her country?
mdp.39015063548252	What Will the World Say?
mdp.39015063548252	What do you say to that bit of evidence added to the circumstantial chain which you say is ingenious?"
mdp.39015063548252	What do you say to that?
mdp.39015063548252	What do you think my age is now?"
mdp.39015063548252	What has any writer to be conceited about anyhow?
mdp.39015063548252	What have I done, I wonder?
mdp.39015063548252	What is a beat?"
mdp.39015063548252	What is that?"
mdp.39015063548252	What is the matter with you?
mdp.39015063548252	What is wrong?"
mdp.39015063548252	What kind of Chartreuse will you have?
mdp.39015063548252	What month or week?"
mdp.39015063548252	What next?"
mdp.39015063548252	What's your favourite brand of wine?
mdp.39015063548252	What, then, can they learn by talking with her, or what good can they do her with their minds already prejudiced against her?
mdp.39015063548252	When the sheriff and the newspaper man reached the other room, the former said —"Well, what do you think?"
mdp.39015063548252	Where shall I find him?"
mdp.39015063548252	Where were they?
mdp.39015063548252	Which one, do you remember?"
mdp.39015063548252	Who is she?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why did n't you think of that?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why did you suggest it?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why do you have to be asked to do such a thing?
mdp.39015063548252	Why do you look so confused, Mr. Buel?
mdp.39015063548252	Why in the world should she want to poison me, when she had all my wealth at her command as it was?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why should he not regard it in the same light when it comes from a woman?"
mdp.39015063548252	Why, do n't you see it?
mdp.39015063548252	Why, may I ask?
mdp.39015063548252	Will you bet about it?"
mdp.39015063548252	Will you bring him to me?"
mdp.39015063548252	Will you come?"
mdp.39015063548252	Wo n't you grant my request, Miss Sommerton?"
mdp.39015063548252	Wo n't you tell her that I have come with a letter from her own lawyers?
mdp.39015063548252	Would you believe that authors are so vain that they actually carry with them the books they have written?"
mdp.39015063548252	Yellow or green?"
mdp.39015063548252	You bought a landscape of his, did you?
mdp.39015063548252	You did not feel ill before last night, did you?"
mdp.39015063548252	You got the letter, though, did you?"
mdp.39015063548252	You know Eoland; what do you think of him?"
mdp.39015063548252	You never were in the newspaper business?
mdp.39015063548252	You sketch very nicely, and""How do you know that?"
mdp.39015063548252	You surely do n't imagine they could have been drowned?"
mdp.39015063548252	You surely do n't intend to cast any doubt on the word of your hostess, do you?"
mdp.39015063548252	You surely do not wish to taunt me with it again?"
mdp.39015063548252	You talk of civility?"
mdp.39015063548252	You will admit also that you were — well, how shall I put it? — let us say, interested in his wife before her marriage?"
mdp.39015063548252	You will admit also that you were — well, how shall I put it? — let us say, interested in his wife before her marriage?"
mdp.39015063548252	You will promise to come here and see me with him, will you not?"
mdp.39015063548252	You would give me a lunch, would n't you, dear?"
mdp.39015063548252	You're not going to try to dodge them?"
mdp.39015063548252	and can you give me an introduction to him?"
mdp.39015063548252	any better?"
mdp.39015063548252	by writing and putting it off?
mdp.39015063548252	cried Brenton,"do you call it a trivial thing that a woman is in danger of her life for a crime which she never committed?"
mdp.39015063548252	cried Brenton,"is locomotion so easy as that?"
mdp.39015063548252	cried Mrs. Brenton, a strange fear coming over her as she stared at the girl;"guilty of what?"
mdp.39015063548252	cried Speed;"who is she?"
mdp.39015063548252	cried Trenton, abashed;"why did n't you call me?
mdp.39015063548252	did Brown say anything about the defence?
mdp.39015063548252	go alone with a stranger?"
mdp.39015063548252	he cried;"who got the thirty grains of morphia?"
mdp.39015063548252	how he got there, and thinking that after all it was a dream, he said —"What is useless?
mdp.39015063548252	me a note to the sheriff and allow me to see the prisoner?"
mdp.39015063548252	said Ferris;"doing him any good?"
mdp.39015063548252	said Mrs. Brenton, sympa- thetically,"was that all?"
mdp.39015063548252	said Speed to Brenton, triumphantly,"what do you think of that?
mdp.39015063548252	thoughts of the other?
mdp.39015063548252	tried the English birdseye?
mdp.39015063548252	who was to profit by your death?"
mdp.39015063548252	| King or Knave?
mdp.39015063942786	'Is'? mdp.39015063942786 A joke?
mdp.39015063942786	About?
mdp.39015063942786	And Walsh?
mdp.39015063942786	And her people arc?
mdp.39015063942786	And just now, when you saved me from following Violet, where were you? mdp.39015063942786 And that's the thanks I get, is it?"
mdp.39015063942786	And the Yard's men would n't have noted and listed that?
mdp.39015063942786	And the date when it was posted?
mdp.39015063942786	And the newspaper cutting in her bag?
mdp.39015063942786	And was Mrs. Finch right — that mad jealousy as well as the pearls was the motive? mdp.39015063942786 And what about Colonel Walsh's alibi?"
mdp.39015063942786	And when did you say Mrs. Walsh left the house this afternoon?
mdp.39015063942786	And who is the lady?
mdp.39015063942786	And why not?
mdp.39015063942786	Are you going to arrest Mills, or question him first?
mdp.39015063942786	At his Club?
mdp.39015063942786	At what time, exactly, did you put them in the drawer and close it?
mdp.39015063942786	But did one glove look crumpled? mdp.39015063942786 But his alibi?
mdp.39015063942786	But that would mean? mdp.39015063942786 But what on earth could be Mills'reason?"
mdp.39015063942786	But what was the message?
mdp.39015063942786	But why summon Walsh to find her dead?
mdp.39015063942786	But would he admit it, if he knew anything that would help in the inquiry? mdp.39015063942786 But, by the way, where was Colonel Walsh yesterday afternoon?"
mdp.39015063942786	Can this young lady go home? mdp.39015063942786 Could he tell us about knowing of it, if he had learnt of it only in that way?"
mdp.39015063942786	Could she have been married before? mdp.39015063942786 Did Mrs. Walsh strike you as straightforward?"
mdp.39015063942786	Did she seem to you equally in love with him?
mdp.39015063942786	Did the Exchange ask you what number you wanted?
mdp.39015063942786	Did you know the murdered lady well — may I ask, sir?
mdp.39015063942786	Did you like them?
mdp.39015063942786	Do they belong to your place too?
mdp.39015063942786	Do you also know about the matter that Walsh has asked me to clear up?
mdp.39015063942786	Do you mean she was offensive?
mdp.39015063942786	Equally? mdp.39015063942786 Even though her mother had long kept what were essentially gambling hells?"
mdp.39015063942786	Father Walsh knew?
mdp.39015063942786	Gulf Stream?
mdp.39015063942786	Had Mrs. Walsh any known enemies?
mdp.39015063942786	Had you ever heard the voice before, do you think?
mdp.39015063942786	Have you any idea where her bedroom would be?
mdp.39015063942786	Have you any theory, chief inspector, as to the motive for the crime? mdp.39015063942786 He had his man with him, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942786	Her father was a barrister, though, was n't he?
mdp.39015063942786	How about the taking away of the little red and blue tablecloth? mdp.39015063942786 How could I have had pearls copied which were not in my possession?
mdp.39015063942786	How could you prove it was the same handkerchief?
mdp.39015063942786	How did he learn of the trouble about the pearls?
mdp.39015063942786	How did you come to meet her?
mdp.39015063942786	How do you mean to prove your case?
mdp.39015063942786	How much would such an imitation as this one cost?
mdp.39015063942786	How was it, may I ask, that you never hap- pened to meet her daughter, Mrs. Walsh, until at to- day's lunch?
mdp.39015063942786	How's it done?
mdp.39015063942786	I have heard a whisper?
mdp.39015063942786	I suppose there's no chance of Aunt Caroline altering her mind and turning up?
mdp.39015063942786	I suppose you know all about that chap Mills?
mdp.39015063942786	I wonder if any well- known purchaser was buying pearls just then? mdp.39015063942786 Is Mrs. Walsh in, Gwennie?"
mdp.39015063942786	Just what do you mean?
mdp.39015063942786	Kitty, what's the matter?
mdp.39015063942786	May I ask exactly where you were visiting, sir, when you saw the crowd?
mdp.39015063942786	May I come in? mdp.39015063942786 May I lift the thing?"
mdp.39015063942786	May n't he come in? mdp.39015063942786 Might she have dropped the string into her handbag?"
mdp.39015063942786	Mr. Walsh, would you take them into one of the downstairs rooms and just run over them? mdp.39015063942786 Mrs. Finch gave you back your I O U's on your wedding day, in that so- called packet of sandwiches, did n't she, Mr. Walsh?
mdp.39015063942786	Mrs. Yerkes? mdp.39015063942786 Not much heart?"
mdp.39015063942786	Nothing else?
mdp.39015063942786	Now about that'four o'clock'date jotted down in your wife's note- book, Walsh,Sewell said,"have you no idea what it stood for?
mdp.39015063942786	Now how did you learn that?
mdp.39015063942786	Of course, those exquisite pearls are a joy in themselves, but it is n't only the pearls, is it?
mdp.39015063942786	Of that Sewell? mdp.39015063942786 Oh, will you?"
mdp.39015063942786	On loan to- night, I take it, as they're to be his wedding present?
mdp.39015063942786	Or was it more likely for the pearls? mdp.39015063942786 Perhaps there's a room she can wait in?"
mdp.39015063942786	Shall I come up again?
mdp.39015063942786	She did purr a bit, did n't she?
mdp.39015063942786	She told you she always wore the longer string?
mdp.39015063942786	So she could prosecute, if need be?
mdp.39015063942786	Surely — don't you think?
mdp.39015063942786	That he's a sort of partner of hers? mdp.39015063942786 That's the weapon, eh?
mdp.39015063942786	Then both were imitation? mdp.39015063942786 Then who do you think is the murderer?"
mdp.39015063942786	Then why did n't the vendor wait for such an occasion? mdp.39015063942786 There's a telephone extension in the drawing- room at Grosvenor Square, but none in the library, if I'm right?"
mdp.39015063942786	Victor Sewell?
mdp.39015063942786	Well, Arthur, what about it?
mdp.39015063942786	Well? mdp.39015063942786 Well?"
mdp.39015063942786	Well?
mdp.39015063942786	What I mean is, was some foreigner there? mdp.39015063942786 What about your new Daimler?"
mdp.39015063942786	What about* something for the table?
mdp.39015063942786	What are you delaying for?
mdp.39015063942786	What do you think of them, Miss Walsh? mdp.39015063942786 What is?"
mdp.39015063942786	What time did you leave your flat?
mdp.39015063942786	What's it all about?
mdp.39015063942786	What's the mother like?
mdp.39015063942786	When did it hap- pen?
mdp.39015063942786	When is he to be arrested?
mdp.39015063942786	Where to?
mdp.39015063942786	Where's Vi, Arthur?
mdp.39015063942786	Where's that?
mdp.39015063942786	While, of course, TWO PEARL NECKLACES I95Then how in the world did you know that there had been a tablecloth on it at all?"
mdp.39015063942786	Who is Mrs. Walsh's personal maid?
mdp.39015063942786	Who phoned to me from here? mdp.39015063942786 Why did n't you send that lazy hound, Ronald?"
mdp.39015063942786	Why not her own home? mdp.39015063942786 Why on my premises, Mr. Pointer?"
mdp.39015063942786	Would you like any tea, madam?
mdp.39015063942786	Yes, where can we find her mother?
mdp.39015063942786	Yet you carefully pocket the paper she signed?
mdp.39015063942786	You do n't share Walsh's suspicion that Mrs. Finch may know something about the missing string, do you, chief inspector?
mdp.39015063942786	You had beforehand determined to get rid of her daughter as soon after the wedding as possible? mdp.39015063942786 You know Mr. Sewell perhaps, sir?"
mdp.39015063942786	You know the tallboy whose drawers you hurriedly tried to open?
mdp.39015063942786	You mean Mrs. Finch?
mdp.39015063942786	You mean that he may still slip out of your net?
mdp.39015063942786	You mean that the top of the little table was n't noticeably wet, only a few minutes later?
mdp.39015063942786	You saw her go out?
mdp.39015063942786	You saw no one about, and heard no other sound in the flat?
mdp.39015063942786	You seen them, Walsh?
mdp.39015063942786	You think her murderer would n't have seen that she was n't wearing the pearls?
mdp.39015063942786	You would know about that better than any one else could, would n't you?
mdp.39015063942786	...""And did n't replace her keys in her handbag — but flung them into that drawer?"
mdp.39015063942786	.?
mdp.39015063942786	.?
mdp.39015063942786	.?"
mdp.39015063942786	10 THE CASE OF THE"She's not the Mrs. Finch surely?"
mdp.39015063942786	86 THE CASE OF THE"Would it have saved her, do you think, if I had gone immediately — got here at once?"
mdp.39015063942786	?
mdp.39015063942786	A metal despatch box?
mdp.39015063942786	And for once both girls had one and the same anxiety: What was going on in Colonel Walsh's study?
mdp.39015063942786	And had she really asked for that message to be sent me at once, and did the fool bungle it?
mdp.39015063942786	And he's got the pearls?"
mdp.39015063942786	And if he can not or does not give a satisfactory explanation TWO PEARL NECKLACES 197 friendly exasperation:"Well?
mdp.39015063942786	And then in a tone of intense surprise:"But what's my name doing here, on this paper?"
mdp.39015063942786	And what about the longer string — the much more valuable necklace?
mdp.39015063942786	And, though it seemed incredible that Violet should have done such a thing, yet how had the pearls been imitated?
mdp.39015063942786	Are you going to question her about that, Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942786	Are you notifying them that the smaller string seems lost?"
mdp.39015063942786	As though it had been forced into an inner waistcoat pocket?"
mdp.39015063942786	As well as that of the Town house?
mdp.39015063942786	But how can it be done?"
mdp.39015063942786	But if he was being blackmailed into the marriage, could I find out when any I O U's could have been returned to him?
mdp.39015063942786	But if so why? — why.
mdp.39015063942786	But may I have a hunt, too?
mdp.39015063942786	But what about you, Kit?
mdp.39015063942786	But what iota of difference to Scotland Yard can it make to know in which particular room he was?
mdp.39015063942786	But what would her uncle's attitude be?
mdp.39015063942786	But what's she really like?"
mdp.39015063942786	But where are the real pearls?"
mdp.39015063942786	But who in the world could have put them there, sir?"
mdp.39015063942786	But who particularly wanted to stop your marriage?"
mdp.39015063942786	But why was she at the Mews at all?
mdp.39015063942786	But, again, chief inspector, what difference does that make?"
mdp.39015063942786	But, not pro- posing to satisfy her avid curiosity:"Were Mr. and Mrs. Walsh dining at home to- night?"
mdp.39015063942786	Care to have a look in there?
mdp.39015063942786	Coldly asking, as she glanced at his writing- table overflowing with papers and books:"What is your coming book about?"
mdp.39015063942786	Could it possibly have any?
mdp.39015063942786	Could she have torn that paper into bits?
mdp.39015063942786	Did he want to get at me by killing her?
mdp.39015063942786	Did it also serve to wrap up the pearls?
mdp.39015063942786	Did n't it sound muffled? — the two words rather blurred?
mdp.39015063942786	Did n't it sound muffled? — the two words rather blurred?
mdp.39015063942786	Did you notice the absence from the murdered woman's handbag of an item that one would have quite expected to find in it?"
mdp.39015063942786	Do n't you suppose I know that?"
mdp.39015063942786	Do you know it?"
mdp.39015063942786	Do you know?"
mdp.39015063942786	Do you mean to tell me that you intend to choose such a leper for your wife?
mdp.39015063942786	Finch- Gray?"
mdp.39015063942786	Fog,'eh?
mdp.39015063942786	For the mother of your children?"
mdp.39015063942786	Good, eh?"
mdp.39015063942786	Had they been quarrelling?
mdp.39015063942786	Have you any objections if I rush off for her in my car?"
mdp.39015063942786	Have you got the fabled cloak of invisibility, by any chance, chief inspector?
mdp.39015063942786	Her mouth, for instance""Looked locked- up, too?"
mdp.39015063942786	How about the window or windows?
mdp.39015063942786	How could you see any motive for it?"
mdp.39015063942786	How could you tell that all that was an amazing piece of acting?
mdp.39015063942786	How did it happen, sir?"
mdp.39015063942786	How did she get in?
mdp.39015063942786	How do you do?"
mdp.39015063942786	How much had her mother over- heard?
mdp.39015063942786	How was Arthur telling his dreadful news?
mdp.39015063942786	How was his father taking it?
mdp.39015063942786	I should n't like to be jerked about by a string, would you, Artie?"
mdp.39015063942786	I suppose it was some jealous quarrel with her and her actual husband?
mdp.39015063942786	I wonder what his real thoughts were, when he went off the deep end, on hearing about her previous marriage?"
mdp.39015063942786	Is Colonel Walsh in the country?"
mdp.39015063942786	Is her husband here by any chance?"
mdp.39015063942786	Is it there?
mdp.39015063942786	Is this a joke, sir?"
mdp.39015063942786	It did n't really matter, did it?"
mdp.39015063942786	Kitty wondered sadly if a struggle were coming between the Colonel and this his second and only surviving son?
mdp.39015063942786	Know him?"
mdp.39015063942786	Look less — well, yes, less common?
mdp.39015063942786	Might I ask where the accident happened, sir?"
mdp.39015063942786	Mills said nothing except:"Shall I go up with you?
mdp.39015063942786	Mills?"
mdp.39015063942786	Mills?"
mdp.39015063942786	My cousin, Kitty Walsh — you know her, I think?"
mdp.39015063942786	Not Violet, but Mills, eh?"
mdp.39015063942786	Now is n't that impossible?"
mdp.39015063942786	Oh, those lilac- 30 THE CASE OF THE coloured?
mdp.39015063942786	One- pound tokens?
mdp.39015063942786	Only to be countered with the question:"What became of all that water?"
mdp.39015063942786	Or a house- breaker?
mdp.39015063942786	Or did Violet usually dress with greater care?
mdp.39015063942786	Or do you believe the latter was responsible for it?"
mdp.39015063942786	Or if anything has been added?
mdp.39015063942786	Or is it out of order to ask that question yet, if at all?"
mdp.39015063942786	Or one of those gay and giddy clubs her mother used to run?
mdp.39015063942786	Or professes to be?"
mdp.39015063942786	Or was he by some means prevented from sending it until it was too late?
mdp.39015063942786	Or was it just a week- end ring?"
mdp.39015063942786	Pointer had with him the handbag which had TWO PEARL NECKLACES 153"What did you find?"
mdp.39015063942786	Say the laundry identify it?
mdp.39015063942786	So that lets Mills out""He was in the drawing- room?"
mdp.39015063942786	Something in his voice made Sewell ask point- blank,"Have you any suspicions yourself?"
mdp.39015063942786	Surely you must see that, too?"
mdp.39015063942786	TWO PEARL NECKLACES 221 Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942786	That duping of Ann Lovelace's kind heart — well, could anything be more dastardly?"
mdp.39015063942786	That was so, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063942786	The Colonel soon went back to the card tables TWO PEARL NECKLACES 27"And do you also like her mother?"
mdp.39015063942786	The blasted parlourmaid wanted to know'would Mrs. Walsh like any tea?'"
mdp.39015063942786	The first being:"The pearls are worth, intrinsically?"
mdp.39015063942786	Then how did the paper — you think it was that wrapping- paper, of course- but how did it come to have Mills's fingerprints on it?
mdp.39015063942786	There followed another ruminating silence before Pointer asked:"Do you know Miss Lovelace?"
mdp.39015063942786	There they adore pearls, do n't they?
mdp.39015063942786	To Mills, do you think, chief inspector?"
mdp.39015063942786	Was Mills at liberty?
mdp.39015063942786	Was Mrs. Walsh there in her car?"
mdp.39015063942786	Was he as helpful as you hoped?"
mdp.39015063942786	Was it now — through Violet Finch — to cost him Arthur?
mdp.39015063942786	Was it that Kitty's eye was distorted by the pre- vious scene?
mdp.39015063942786	Was it the murderer I heard?
mdp.39015063942786	Was it the police?
mdp.39015063942786	Was that why he told me I was wanted?
mdp.39015063942786	Well, what do you divine or see, eh?"
mdp.39015063942786	Well, would you like me to give Gray- ham my cheque instead of drawing one yourself?"
mdp.39015063942786	What 56 THE CASE OF THE about the insurance, though?
mdp.39015063942786	What are you fussing about?"
mdp.39015063942786	What did she think of them?
mdp.39015063942786	What did you think of them, Vi?"
mdp.39015063942786	What do you say, chief inspector?"
mdp.39015063942786	What do you think Mrs. Walsh would like best?"
mdp.39015063942786	What had happened?
mdp.39015063942786	What of it?"
mdp.39015063942786	What was coming?
mdp.39015063942786	What was it?"'
mdp.39015063942786	What would her uncle do?
mdp.39015063942786	What — has — happened?"
mdp.39015063942786	When is the wedding to be?"
mdp.39015063942786	Where she was going besides to her dressmaker?"
mdp.39015063942786	Where the devil, then, were you, to play the Yard's deus ex machina so decisively for me as well as for Walsh?"
mdp.39015063942786	Where was it?"
mdp.39015063942786	Who accused poor Violet of having known that the pearls were false just in order to stop the marriage?
mdp.39015063942786	Who is he?"
mdp.39015063942786	Who is it?
mdp.39015063942786	Who let her in?
mdp.39015063942786	Who phoned that message to me?
mdp.39015063942786	Who sold them?
mdp.39015063942786	Who was here?
mdp.39015063942786	Who's speaking?"
mdp.39015063942786	Who's to pay for that new car of yours?"
mdp.39015063942786	Who?
mdp.39015063942786	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063942786	Why should Vi connect that with her less valuable string of pearls?
mdp.39015063942786	Why was she there?"
mdp.39015063942786	Why?"
mdp.39015063942786	Why?"
mdp.39015063942786	Will you come, too?"
mdp.39015063942786	Would he try to stop the marriage by cutting off Arthur's hugely increased marriage allowance and revoking his gift of the capital involved?
mdp.39015063942786	Would the chief inspector manage to meet them there?
mdp.39015063942786	he asked,"since you intend to do so?"
mdp.39015063938735	'I suppose you think I am crazy? mdp.39015063938735 'If who does not — get you — Edward?'
mdp.39015063938735	'No ghosts you say? mdp.39015063938735 'No ghosts, eh?
mdp.39015063938735	'So it is you, brother dear? mdp.39015063938735 / put it?
mdp.39015063938735	After I what?
mdp.39015063938735	Again, may I ask why not?
mdp.39015063938735	And I suppose you believe that rot?
mdp.39015063938735	And I think we are both being a bit stuffy, do n't you?
mdp.39015063938735	And partly?
mdp.39015063938735	And then he turned, I believe you said, and went straight into the bushes?
mdp.39015063938735	And then?
mdp.39015063938735	Anything that you might call definite?
mdp.39015063938735	Are you all right?
mdp.39015063938735	Are you cold? mdp.39015063938735 Are you really and truly an English Lord?"
mdp.39015063938735	Been in the family long, Gloom?
mdp.39015063938735	Burnleigh — are you all right?
mdp.39015063938735	But I believe he left things in my hands?
mdp.39015063938735	But equally hard to explain?
mdp.39015063938735	But it is n't night, sir? mdp.39015063938735 But my boy, can you not see that you are doing the very thing that will hamper the result you desire?"
mdp.39015063938735	But you have no objection to my knowing them, have you?
mdp.39015063938735	But, Captain Lowry, do n't you think we should be told these things if we are to remain here?
mdp.39015063938735	By now the possibility of my being some sort of a crank has occurred to you, I suppose?
mdp.39015063938735	By the way, Mr. Riker, is n't this yours?
mdp.39015063938735	Ca n't you send her to the city now and then, Lowry? mdp.39015063938735 Can it be that you doubt my word?"
mdp.39015063938735	Chad, how often have I told you not to chew gum in the office?
mdp.39015063938735	Could you prove you were in Birmingham?
mdp.39015063938735	Did Edward aid you in the search? mdp.39015063938735 Did Lord Robert ever have a son?"
mdp.39015063938735	Did he ever talk to you about the ghosts your brother was supposed to hear?
mdp.39015063938735	Did n't you know that you had lost it, sir?
mdp.39015063938735	Did n't you, Hooper?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you get him to say whether he is sure he saw something or whether it was just his imagination?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you hear me?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you hear that, sir?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you hear that?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you hear what sounded like shooting a moment ago?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you measure the prints or whatever they do under the circumstances?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you notice anything in the room that seemed disturbed, or that drew your attention, Captain Lowry?
mdp.39015063938735	Did you see the person who hit you?
mdp.39015063938735	Do n't like what?
mdp.39015063938735	Do n't you think it reckless to dash along the cliff that way?
mdp.39015063938735	Do you know anything of the coast we are approach- ing?
mdp.39015063938735	Does that mean it is serious?
mdp.39015063938735	Does the writing look at all familiar to you?
mdp.39015063938735	Edith, will you come out a moment?
mdp.39015063938735	Ever see anything yourself?
mdp.39015063938735	Evidence?
mdp.39015063938735	Feeling better, are n't you, Hooper?
mdp.39015063938735	First of all, you found something interesting in that wood just before you were struck down, did n't you?
mdp.39015063938735	Fool youl Have you any idea what you have told me just now? mdp.39015063938735 For instance?"
mdp.39015063938735	Ghosts? mdp.39015063938735 Gloom?"
mdp.39015063938735	Going out?
mdp.39015063938735	Good heavens, you have not come to be suspicious of poor old Hooper?
mdp.39015063938735	Has he seen anyone but you?
mdp.39015063938735	Have we been fooling?
mdp.39015063938735	Have you a gun, sir?
mdp.39015063938735	He said—'why ca n't she rest?'
mdp.39015063938735	He will be — will be all right?
mdp.39015063938735	Hear what, that you did not, doctor?
mdp.39015063938735	How can you say so positively how I feel toward you? mdp.39015063938735 How did he get away then?"
mdp.39015063938735	How do you do, Lord Cecil? mdp.39015063938735 How do you know Miss Lowry would be interested in my account of how it happened?"
mdp.39015063938735	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063938735	How important?
mdp.39015063938735	How long were you there?
mdp.39015063938735	How the devil can I tell whether it is important enough to risk my patient's health — if it is your business? mdp.39015063938735 How the devil did they know?
mdp.39015063938735	How were they stolen?
mdp.39015063938735	How?
mdp.39015063938735	I could, but I do n't intend to, and by the way, Hooper, will you please stop whispering?
mdp.39015063938735	I do n't think we should just let it rest at that, do you? mdp.39015063938735 I do not know just what it is we are suspected of doing, but on that basis why except ourselves?"
mdp.39015063938735	I suppose he suggested he would accompany you out here?
mdp.39015063938735	I take it that you believe in ghosts, doctor?
mdp.39015063938735	I think you told me some books were stolen from the library while the house was closed?
mdp.39015063938735	If he killed them to keep the family fortune, why did he allow Lord Cecil to live?
mdp.39015063938735	In the time you were with Edward Burnleigh, did you ever hear tapping at the front door?
mdp.39015063938735	In what part of the bookcase?
mdp.39015063938735	Is n't it possible that he had one before he disap- peared?
mdp.39015063938735	Is n't it pretty risky for a young girl to be out alone at this hour of the morning, Captain Lowry?
mdp.39015063938735	Is there anything a specialist can do with a concus- sion except rest the patient and guard against complica- tions?
mdp.39015063938735	Is this game of hide and seek over now?
mdp.39015063938735	It has been quite lonely for you, has it not?
mdp.39015063938735	It is not very nice of me to spread gossip this way, is it?
mdp.39015063938735	It seems quite clear at this point, does it not? mdp.39015063938735 It would take a genius to do that for two miles, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063938735	Just exactly what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063938735	Like this?
mdp.39015063938735	Live at Burnleigh Manor?
mdp.39015063938735	Looking for something?
mdp.39015063938735	Miss Lowry, what do you really know about the Manor?
mdp.39015063938735	Moral?
mdp.39015063938735	Naturally not, but why should you ask that? mdp.39015063938735 No trace was ever found of Lady Burnleigh, either, was there?"
mdp.39015063938735	No, why?
mdp.39015063938735	Not a chancel"Then why not go back to the Lodge for the others?
mdp.39015063938735	Oh come, not really?
mdp.39015063938735	Old? mdp.39015063938735 Old?
mdp.39015063938735	One or two lumps, sir?
mdp.39015063938735	Phone call? mdp.39015063938735 Probably they were used recently by him?"
mdp.39015063938735	Putting it? mdp.39015063938735 Really?
mdp.39015063938735	She saw the man too?
mdp.39015063938735	Something has happened to upset you?
mdp.39015063938735	Such as?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose we wait until morning to find out?
mdp.39015063938735	Surprise? mdp.39015063938735 Thanks to me?"
mdp.39015063938735	That all right?
mdp.39015063938735	That is possible, but what did you do to make the poor ghost turn on you like that?
mdp.39015063938735	The feet of ghosts do not make footprints — as a mat- ter of fact do ghosts have feet? mdp.39015063938735 The tastes?"
mdp.39015063938735	Then I suppose that you knew Lord Robert?
mdp.39015063938735	Then someone actually struck Hooper down?
mdp.39015063938735	Then suppose you tell me how it was that she knew the accident had happened to Hooper?
mdp.39015063938735	Then why did you say you doubted that you could get him to go into the Manor?
mdp.39015063938735	Then why the question?
mdp.39015063938735	Then you were in that wood tonight?
mdp.39015063938735	These — these peculiar circumstances mentioned in the letter — what were they?
mdp.39015063938735	They?
mdp.39015063938735	To be sure, but do you know why they say he killed himself?
mdp.39015063938735	Via a hole in the ground?
mdp.39015063938735	Was it taken — that is, did it disappear from the library, by any chance?
mdp.39015063938735	We?
mdp.39015063938735	Well then, why should the family variety startle you?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, Riker, what do you think of it?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, do they?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, for instance, did you ever see that knife before?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, for instance, from where were they taken?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, my boy, shall we sit and talk a while before we — we go to bed?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, now that that is over, what are Hooper's chances?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, what of that? mdp.39015063938735 Well, what of that?"
mdp.39015063938735	Well, who said he was n't a genius?
mdp.39015063938735	Well, who was it?
mdp.39015063938735	What about?
mdp.39015063938735	What difference would it make if it had?
mdp.39015063938735	What disposition was made of Robert's personal ef- fects after he — he disappeared?
mdp.39015063938735	What do you mean by saying you do not like it, Captain Lowry?
mdp.39015063938735	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063938735	What do you mean'by reputation'?
mdp.39015063938735	What instructions did you give to your solicitors?
mdp.39015063938735	What old legend?
mdp.39015063938735	What was it you told me on the boat that Edward said when he heard those footsteps?
mdp.39015063938735	What was it, Hooper?
mdp.39015063938735	What was the name of your relative?
mdp.39015063938735	What?
mdp.39015063938735	When you opened the door — was there always some- one there?
mdp.39015063938735	Where did you find this?
mdp.39015063938735	Where is she now?
mdp.39015063938735	Who did you think it was?
mdp.39015063938735	Who is that with the flashlight?
mdp.39015063938735	Who? mdp.39015063938735 Why do you ask that of me, sir?"
mdp.39015063938735	Why do you say that?
mdp.39015063938735	Why not?
mdp.39015063938735	Why not?
mdp.39015063938735	Why should I not believe there were footprints?
mdp.39015063938735	Why should I take yours?
mdp.39015063938735	Why should n't I, sir? mdp.39015063938735 Why should she feel that way?"
mdp.39015063938735	Why the bedroom?
mdp.39015063938735	Why were you poking about on the ground when I found you?
mdp.39015063938735	Why, you dear old goose, do I look it?
mdp.39015063938735	With what in mind?
mdp.39015063938735	Wo n't you sit down a few minutes and talk with us, Miss Lowry? mdp.39015063938735 Wo n't you take me back to the Lodge?"
mdp.39015063938735	Wo n't you tell me what it is that is worrying you so frightfully?'
mdp.39015063938735	Would n't it be more appropriate to ask what the ghost had against poor me? mdp.39015063938735 Would you mind telling me what use you found for a knife in this spot?"
mdp.39015063938735	Yes, sir?
mdp.39015063938735	Yes? mdp.39015063938735 Yes?"
mdp.39015063938735	You are all right, sir? mdp.39015063938735 You are going to find it hard going, sir, and is n't it a shame to wreck the old place?"
mdp.39015063938735	You are joking, of course?
mdp.39015063938735	You do n't expect the owner to go around knocking his own ancestral home, do you? mdp.39015063938735 You do not wish to discuss them?"
mdp.39015063938735	You heard — my voice — here — last night?
mdp.39015063938735	You knew that Lord Cecil's brother, Edward, shot himself there, did you not?
mdp.39015063938735	You know of course that the youngest brother, Rob- ert, disappeared one night with Lord Edward's wife?
mdp.39015063938735	You know the old place pretty thoroughly, I imagine?
mdp.39015063938735	You mean you were not on the edge of the cliffs to- night?
mdp.39015063938735	You told Hooper to keep his thoughts to himself?
mdp.39015063938735	You — er, found something unusual about the Lodge?
mdp.39015063938735	, Or, on second thought, had I not done just that?
mdp.39015063938735	172 MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR"What is it that you and father are harping on?"
mdp.39015063938735	40 MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR"Does it annoy you to have some one talk to you while you drive?"
mdp.39015063938735	60 MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR"Which have been — what, for instance?"
mdp.39015063938735	82 MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR"Did he tell her anything?"
mdp.39015063938735	A trick — why had that not occurred to me before?
mdp.39015063938735	Ah, yes — will you have one?"
mdp.39015063938735	And how much truth was there in this new version of the affair?
mdp.39015063938735	Are English owls in the habit of hooting at the sight of a flashlight?"
mdp.39015063938735	At that, how would I get your flash?"
mdp.39015063938735	Before anyone else is harmed wo n't you all go away and leave it alone?"
mdp.39015063938735	Burnleigh leaned forward and repeated after him"Empty?"
mdp.39015063938735	But why not?
mdp.39015063938735	By whom?
mdp.39015063938735	Captain Lowry seemed troubled by something and he spoke to her severely:"Edith, have you been out of the house since you went to your room?"
mdp.39015063938735	Certainly the dead man had not"Have there been reoccurrences of this sort of thing?"
mdp.39015063938735	Could Burnleigh have produced the effect by tapping on the table or floor?
mdp.39015063938735	Could he identify his assailant?
mdp.39015063938735	Find anything?"
mdp.39015063938735	First I heard Lord Cecil say,"What is it, Hooper?"
mdp.39015063938735	First, about my family — unless you already know some of our history?"
mdp.39015063938735	Gloom?
mdp.39015063938735	Good God — why ca n't she rest?'
mdp.39015063938735	Had it though?
mdp.39015063938735	Had they been Burnleigh's feet on the floor?
mdp.39015063938735	Have you any theories explaining the matter?"
mdp.39015063938735	Have you mapped out a plan of campaign as yet?"
mdp.39015063938735	Have you?"
mdp.39015063938735	Her feeling toward me, for instance — from the outward signs what was it?
mdp.39015063938735	Hooper?
mdp.39015063938735	How about""Gloom?
mdp.39015063938735	How could the door be closed without my seeing it done?
mdp.39015063938735	How did she know?
mdp.39015063938735	How did you get this cut?"
mdp.39015063938735	How much more did she know?
mdp.39015063938735	I had heard that, but he was given proper burial, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063938735	I have been a bit hateful in repeating that gossip, but would you mind if I said something to you that sounds rather ridiculous?"
mdp.39015063938735	I thought you told me it was an American millionaire?"
mdp.39015063938735	If Hooper had come upon him suddenly as he waited for her might he not strike out in self defense?
mdp.39015063938735	If it was my mission, why should she resent a stranger within the gates of the Manor?
mdp.39015063938735	If the purpose of my search were known to him, would I still seem so amusing?
mdp.39015063938735	If you had wanted to keep your identity a secret why the devil did n't you disguise it?"
mdp.39015063938735	In fact she suggested that he not""Not tell anyone else — yes of course — but what do you mean by'general way'?"
mdp.39015063938735	Is everythinng all right?"
mdp.39015063938735	It was a fall, was it not?"
mdp.39015063938735	Just how had they entered?
mdp.39015063938735	MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR 229 Tell me there are no ghosts — tell me that quickly — tell me""What sort of drool are you talking now, Burnleigh?
mdp.39015063938735	MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR 245 have already told you it was a woman, have I not?
mdp.39015063938735	May I wish you the same economy?
mdp.39015063938735	My mission here?
mdp.39015063938735	Nothing to them of course in comparison to the owner, Lord Burnleigh, and why could I not assure them he wished them to look into matters?
mdp.39015063938735	Now are you satisfied with the sale?"
mdp.39015063938735	Now, just where was this man standing this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063938735	Riker?"
mdp.39015063938735	Riker?"
mdp.39015063938735	Riker?"
mdp.39015063938735	Riker?"
mdp.39015063938735	Shall we start now?"
mdp.39015063938735	She did not want the Manor investigated for some reason?
mdp.39015063938735	She started to speak, failed, and then in a voice little above a whisper,"What do you mean'foolish'?"
mdp.39015063938735	She walked through you — through you — do you hear what I say?
mdp.39015063938735	Sit there, will you please?"
mdp.39015063938735	So there are no ghosts, eh Cecil?'
mdp.39015063938735	Someone else is with you?"
mdp.39015063938735	Something I had done?
mdp.39015063938735	Something that I had said?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose I introduce you to the Burnleighs?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose he had reasons of his own for wanting them unanswered?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose she came here to meet a man she loved — a man whom she could meet no- where else?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose she was trying to find out if the nights would be clear?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose the fortune that the miser brother had hidden away was in the house?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose the old boy had murdered them in cold blood?
mdp.39015063938735	Suppose you tell me what on earth you are getting at?
mdp.39015063938735	That was one thing to be corrected and yet why had it not started to swing as I walked out of it?
mdp.39015063938735	The first complication was that no one wanted their assistance except myself — and who on earth was I?
mdp.39015063938735	Then what?
mdp.39015063938735	Then why had he cried out not to follow them?
mdp.39015063938735	They were delightful companions and the first MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR 13"Have you ever been in Burnleigh Manor, Gloom?"
mdp.39015063938735	They, too, had seen evi- 209 210 MYSTERY OF BURNLEIGH MANOR dences of whatever cursed the Manor — or at least they told me they had?
mdp.39015063938735	To be sure what?
mdp.39015063938735	Unharmed?"
mdp.39015063938735	Was he another Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde?
mdp.39015063938735	Was it the sea against the cliff or was it really someone's breathing?
mdp.39015063938735	Was that a board creaking from age or the result of someone shifting their weight from one foot to the other?
mdp.39015063938735	Well now, actually why not?
mdp.39015063938735	Were they in on it too?
mdp.39015063938735	What are you doing?
mdp.39015063938735	What did he know or suspect about that spe- cial room?
mdp.39015063938735	What else could he do — climb a tree?"
mdp.39015063938735	What for instance?"
mdp.39015063938735	What had he been about to find in the wood?
mdp.39015063938735	What had he seen just before he was struck down?
mdp.39015063938735	What has happened?
mdp.39015063938735	What has happened?"
mdp.39015063938735	What has happened?"
mdp.39015063938735	What have they done to poor old Lowry?"
mdp.39015063938735	What of it?"
mdp.39015063938735	What purpose could he have in bringing me miles across the ocean and threatening my life because I did his bidding?
mdp.39015063938735	What was I to do now?
mdp.39015063938735	What was it he had said?
mdp.39015063938735	What was the man whom you saw at the Lodge that night — the one that vanished without using door or windows?"
mdp.39015063938735	What was the second favor?"
mdp.39015063938735	What will you sell it back to me for?"
mdp.39015063938735	When she had heard the last she had trembled in fear, not as a girl would tremble at the call of her lover — or had I been mistaken?
mdp.39015063938735	Where are the servants?'
mdp.39015063938735	Where are you?"
mdp.39015063938735	Where did they eventually turn up?"
mdp.39015063938735	Who is there?"
mdp.39015063938735	Who would want books like that — especially in a house full of treasures for the collector?
mdp.39015063938735	Who would want it?
mdp.39015063938735	Who?
mdp.39015063938735	Why could he not be here now conducting an investiga- tion of his own?
mdp.39015063938735	Why did he whisper that warning against the Master's bedroom with what he thought was his last breath?
mdp.39015063938735	Why do you hate me so?"
mdp.39015063938735	Why had I not left that confounded door open when I came in?
mdp.39015063938735	Why had I not told her my real feelings?
mdp.39015063938735	Why squirm out of it now?
mdp.39015063938735	Why?"
mdp.39015063938735	Will you give me your word on that?"
mdp.39015063938735	Will you — will you — look at it?"
mdp.39015063938735	With my eyes on Edith Lowry's face every minute I asked very distinctly,"Is n't there some way we can get in without that?"
mdp.39015063938735	Would it not be a little kinder to let me hope that poor old Hooper's injury came from a fall and that we will find him all right in the morning?"
mdp.39015063938735	Would you like to stop a moment?"
mdp.39015063938735	Would you mind if I asked you again to tell me something of what has happened to upset you?"
mdp.39015063938735	You do n't mind it — driving I mean?
mdp.39015063938735	You followed him into the bushes, of course?"
mdp.39015063938735	You will recall that Captain Lowry stated last night that there was no evi- dence of anyone having been near the windows?
mdp.39015063525565	37 Gordon Street. ”And the girls you mentioned?

mdp.39015063525565	And before that time, what means of support had you? ”Is that question not irrelevant? ” inquired the cripple with a certain dignity.
mdp.39015063525565	And it was? ” asked Lawe excitedly. mdp.39015063525565 And that man? ” questioned Strangely as MacDonald paused.
mdp.39015063525565	And then? ” he questioned. mdp.39015063525565 And those words struck you as strange, Mr. Parker? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	And what was the information you wanted at the Central Post? ” inquired Inspector MacDonald non- committally. mdp.39015063525565 And yet- he might ride?
mdp.39015063525565	At my suggestion- yes. ”And he's lying awake nights now- over the disappearance of this rather obscure young typist from the main office?
mdp.39015063525565	Did she name that person? ”No, she did n't. ”"Have you, yourself, any idea who it was? ”"No, sir, I have n't.

mdp.39015063525565	Did you not hesitate to take your young daughter into a house of which you knew nothing? ” he was asked. mdp.39015063525565 How do you know that? ” asked Strangely sharply.
mdp.39015063525565	If Johnnie did n't make those marks, then who did? ” he in- quired. mdp.39015063525565 If this is true, where was Strangely all that time?
mdp.39015063525565	Is it an apartment house? mdp.39015063525565 Is this Arden, at Folkestone?
mdp.39015063525565	Just what is your position in the case? ” Young Lawe colored slightly at the unexpected question. mdp.39015063525565 Just'is look, Muster. ” “ But you think she's gone back to'i m?"
mdp.39015063525565	Lie, is it?
mdp.39015063525565	Now then, ” he began,when did the Ravenelles come to you?
mdp.39015063525565	T chap in sailor togs? mdp.39015063525565 Temple Bar?
mdp.39015063525565	Twelve flowers. ” What on earth could that mean? mdp.39015063525565 Well, naow — will or wo n't?
mdp.39015063525565	Well, well, what can I do for you, my good fellow? ” puffed Bell. mdp.39015063525565 What did he think it was? ” “ I do n't know, ” replied Lawe.
mdp.39015063525565	What did she mean? ” questioned Strangely swiftly. mdp.39015063525565 What do you mean? ” queried Lawe hoarsely, through stiff lips.
mdp.39015063525565	What have we done, you mean? ” replied MacDonald darkly. mdp.39015063525565 What time did he call you? ” “ Very shortly after ten last evening.
mdp.39015063525565	What's that? mdp.39015063525565 Where do you come in on this, Mr. Lawe? ” he asked quietly.
mdp.39015063525565	Wot, still'ere?
mdp.39015063525565	You have viewed the remains of the body found on the cm- bankment, Mr. Lawe? ”. mdp.39015063525565 You mean she was crying or something? ” “ Oh, no, sir.
mdp.39015063525565	You say Mr. Strangely did n't seem to think the stain on the towel was blood? ” he asked at last. mdp.39015063525565 You say this occurred at what hour? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	You'll find out how much she loves you when"When what?
mdp.39015063525565	You've been poking holes with that? ” queried the Inspector. mdp.39015063525565 'Have you got your key, Miss Rilla?' mdp.39015063525565 'Indeed and I have,'says she, and takes it out of her black bag and shakes it at me. ” “ What's that? ” interrupted Strangely quickly. mdp.39015063525565 'Tis yerself, is it? mdp.39015063525565 3 THE RAVENELLE RIDDLE That's onl how the headAt Scotland Yarded up, too?

mdp.39015063525565	7th, the Had the witness seen this girl on Monday, July 17th, the day of her disappearance?
mdp.39015063525565	A blinkin'C.I.D.?
mdp.39015063525565	A mere coincidence?
mdp.39015063525565	A swell, what?
mdp.39015063525565	ALL ABOUT MARTIE 85"You say the Inspector was after believin'I was holding some- thing back?"
mdp.39015063525565	Ac- cordingly, what does she do in such a case?
mdp.39015063525565	Afraid, here alone?
mdp.39015063525565	After all, why speak to him until the whole business was wound up?
mdp.39015063525565	Am I raght, Alf? ” to the second man.
mdp.39015063525565	And Lawe?
mdp.39015063525565	And Mr. Lawe, senior- he approved?"
mdp.39015063525565	And he tellit me it was. ” “ To see me? ” questioned the Inspector.
mdp.39015063525565	And now, she wondered, would the young man care to drive into Folkestone with him?
mdp.39015063525565	And so he sent you to me?
mdp.39015063525565	And suppose that someone( Cumberland again?)
mdp.39015063525565	And that Rilla Ravenelle was going to see him with the intention of asking him to con- tinue them?
mdp.39015063525565	And that second written by Martie Green, too?
mdp.39015063525565	And that she did not reach the yacht at all, or else came to grief upon it?
mdp.39015063525565	And the letter was not tampered with after its arrival, Simmons? ” For the first time the old valet's look expressed surprise.
mdp.39015063525565	And there's something else- you remem- ber what the doctor's assistant testified at the inquest?
mdp.39015063525565	And these finger- prints on the window- sill?
mdp.39015063525565	And to 80 THE RAVENELLE RIDDLE whom was the second letter written?
mdp.39015063525565	And to what did square refer?
mdp.39015063525565	And what was Strangely's idea? ” “ Oh, he had some far- fetched idea that she might have been carrying home something of value to our firm.
mdp.39015063525565	And what was it that he had been going to do, just as sleep pounced upon him so viciously?
mdp.39015063525565	And where are his foot- prints?
mdp.39015063525565	And where was he going?
mdp.39015063525565	And who are you, to order a poor lone widow about?
mdp.39015063525565	And who could that someone be except Martie Green?
mdp.39015063525565	And who shall say I did n't? ” she ended defiantly.
mdp.39015063525565	And who should know better?
mdp.39015063525565	And whom did he suspect to be the recipi- ent?
mdp.39015063525565	And why did you burn them now?
mdp.39015063525565	And why- of all things- should he have gone to the pains of putting it in such an extraordinary hiding- place?
mdp.39015063525565	And wot's the name, please, sir?"
mdp.39015063525565	And you think Mr. Lawe will think I did right to tell what I know? ” “ Unquestionably. ” Parker's face brightened.
mdp.39015063525565	And you're quite willing to swear to this story, should the need arise?"
mdp.39015063525565	And your father, now — the head of the firm- I suppose he's all worked up, too?
mdp.39015063525565	And, Inspector MacDonald, can you give orders at the Central Post to let me have some necessary information? ” “ Certainly, Mr. Lawe.
mdp.39015063525565	And, anyway, why should she do that if her object was not to cast suspicion on her lover, but to murder him?
mdp.39015063525565	And, behind these three, stood — who?
mdp.39015063525565	And, when she pulled it out, a sheet of paper fell to the floor. ” “ You picked it up for her, Mr. Parker? ”"I did that, Mr. MacDonald.
mdp.39015063525565	Any harm in telling him? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	Are you quite sure of what you are doing, Mr. MacDonald?
mdp.39015063525565	Are you there? ” he rasped.
mdp.39015063525565	As for Mrs. O'Brien, what possible motive could she have for holding back any information about the second letter?
mdp.39015063525565	Baker's visitors?"
mdp.39015063525565	Besides, what motive could he have for wanting to kill Martie Green? ” MacDonald smiled.
mdp.39015063525565	But I did n't light the light to look at the time. ” “ You have had no word from him since?"
mdp.39015063525565	But I think it was mostly bluff. ” “ But what are you going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063525565	But do you suppose they could mean some- thing, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063525565	But how could he fit it in with the known facts?
mdp.39015063525565	But how did he get in?
mdp.39015063525565	But how is he?"
mdp.39015063525565	But how was I to know?
mdp.39015063525565	But the letters was face up, and- well, I looked first at the one on top-""And that was?"
mdp.39015063525565	But this morning Mr. Ravenelle sez to me when I took his tea,'Those atrocities, Mrs. O'Brien, that I gave you some years ago — you have them yet?'
mdp.39015063525565	But was it?
mdp.39015063525565	But what could it be?
mdp.39015063525565	But what had happened after that?
mdp.39015063525565	But why did n't someone examine this shed before, and see the machine?"
mdp.39015063525565	But why, then, had she left her home?
mdp.39015063525565	But why?
mdp.39015063525565	But why?
mdp.39015063525565	But will you meet me at my office the first thing in the morning, Mr. Lawe?
mdp.39015063525565	But, first of all, what have you been burning?"
mdp.39015063525565	But, if so, how could this person have entered Cumberland's room and performed the act without exciting sus- picion?
mdp.39015063525565	But, if so, why sign the message “ X ”?
mdp.39015063525565	But, if so, why was the yacht sailing so quickly, before this man's return?
mdp.39015063525565	But, in this case, might not his leave be connected with the missing girl?
mdp.39015063525565	But- how about a tall, heavy- boned man? ” MacDonald knit his brows frowningly.
mdp.39015063525565	By the way, what did Mrs. O'Brien say about the letter?
mdp.39015063525565	Can I take t'young lady a way?
mdp.39015063525565	Can Mr. Strangely come with you? ” Lawe hesitated.
mdp.39015063525565	Can you get away? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	Can you remember Mr. Strangely's own words in regard to his intentions? ” “ I think I can.
mdp.39015063525565	Can you say'oo sent ut? ”"Not me, ” disclaimed the languid young man.
mdp.39015063525565	Could it be?
mdp.39015063525565	Could n't bear to destroy his sweetheart's finger?
mdp.39015063525565	Could the gentleman come back in a day or two?
mdp.39015063525565	Could the woman be telling the truth?
mdp.39015063525565	Could there be no other solution?
mdp.39015063525565	Did I send a telegram last night? ” The little, bright- eyed woman looked up tranquilly.
mdp.39015063525565	Did Miss Ravenelle ever wear a ring on the third finger of either hand? ” Lawe shook his head.
mdp.39015063525565	Did he keep something here and take it away with him?
mdp.39015063525565	Did he know how Mr. Cumberland had got back in the room?
mdp.39015063525565	Did he speak of it to you? ” “ Yes, ” said Lawe quickly.
mdp.39015063525565	Did n't that maid say something about luggage in his 32 THE RAVENELLE RIDDLE a to keep a body cory is?
mdp.39015063525565	Did you happen to notice the address on either of those letters?"
mdp.39015063525565	Did you think it was something like this? ”"My Lord, no! ” denied Strangely vigorously.
mdp.39015063525565	Did you, or did you not, read the address on this girl Martie's letter?"
mdp.39015063525565	Do n't you feel it?
mdp.39015063525565	Do we, or do n't we find anything here?
mdp.39015063525565	Do yew know'em?"
mdp.39015063525565	Do you believe it? ”"I do n't see why not, Mr. Lawe.
mdp.39015063525565	Do you get me?
mdp.39015063525565	Do you remember how Dosie, my old nurse, used to say people were'fey'?
mdp.39015063525565	Do you think it's true?
mdp.39015063525565	Do you understand?
mdp.39015063525565	Do you? ” The Inspector tapped consideringly with his pencil.
mdp.39015063525565	Does it seem- would you recog- nize it- if it were hers? ” For a moment a shudder was Lawe's only reply.
mdp.39015063525565	Does more than one family live there? ” The Inspector's tones were seething with suppressed ex- citement.
mdp.39015063525565	Eh, Kelly?
mdp.39015063525565	Evidently Caverly had not painted under his full name, and who would associate Basil C. Ravenelle with Caverly of international fame?
mdp.39015063525565	Finding that your funds were no longer adequate, it was necessary for her to work?
mdp.39015063525565	First, the ware Apparently A STARTLING DEVELOPMENT 131"What do you make of it? ” croaked Lawe, leaning back against the pillows.
mdp.39015063525565	For had not Martie Green been Ralph Cumberland's companion at Folkestone on the very day before Rilla Ravenelle's disappearance?
mdp.39015063525565	Granting this, to whom would Rilla Ravenelle have been carrying such information?
mdp.39015063525565	Had Bell, learning of her present love affair, became suddenly and illogically jealous and threatened to disclose the girl's past life to Cumberland?
mdp.39015063525565	Had Martie Green murdered Rilla, and concealed the finger in Cumberland's room?
mdp.39015063525565	Had Mr. Strangely expected him to return?
mdp.39015063525565	Had Simmons taken it?
mdp.39015063525565	Had he known Mr. Cumberland?
mdp.39015063525565	Had he then sought Cumberland out, quarreled with him, and later returned to murder him?
mdp.39015063525565	Had his son been aware of this fact?
mdp.39015063525565	Had it been a ring of great value, or a simple wedding ring with the name of the murdered woman- perhaps even the name of the murderer- inside?
mdp.39015063525565	Had she read the address? ” Lawe gave a grim little smile.
mdp.39015063525565	Had she really said the young lady?
mdp.39015063525565	Had there been the barest hesitation before that mono syllable?
mdp.39015063525565	Has all London gone mad on murders?
mdp.39015063525565	Has it never occurred to you that she may simply have run away? ” Lawe's face expressed stupefaction.
mdp.39015063525565	Have you found any prints?"
mdp.39015063525565	Have you heard anything yet of Peter Strangely?
mdp.39015063525565	He did n't like it- not him — but wot could he say?
mdp.39015063525565	He did not know her well?
mdp.39015063525565	He had been planning to — what had he been planning?
mdp.39015063525565	He had destroyed her, had n't he?
mdp.39015063525565	He had objected to his son Geoffrey's attentions to this girl?
mdp.39015063525565	He was smoking outside whilst we fixed the foot, and after a bit he called out was we done?
mdp.39015063525565	He wondered what MacDonald was doing on the case — if he had yet discovered any one of these tortuous trails?
mdp.39015063525565	Her bed had not been slept in. ”"You have viewed the remains in the mortuary, Mr. Ravenelle? ” A slight shudder shook the frail frame.
mdp.39015063525565	How about the second letter you mailed at the same time?"
mdp.39015063525565	How did she remember the day?
mdp.39015063525565	How had they happened to choose Mrs. O'Brien's lodging house?
mdp.39015063525565	How's that for a possibility?
mdp.39015063525565	How, under these circumstances, could one account for the presence of the severed finger in Cumberland's room?
mdp.39015063525565	I ask you, what could she have taken home that would injure us in any way?
mdp.39015063525565	I can catch a bus from Shaftesbury Avenue in about five minutes. ”"And then?"
mdp.39015063525565	I could n't have that, could I?
mdp.39015063525565	I dare- say this is nothing important, but would you mind stepping into the next room?
mdp.39015063525565	I hate to ask you, but — is there anything familiar about this?
mdp.39015063525565	I merely want to know the address on the letter she mailed in the eight o'clock post. ” “ But how? ” queried Geoffrey blankly.
mdp.39015063525565	I put the door on the latch and went to bed. ” “ But you heard him leave the house? ”"Oh, yes, sir.
mdp.39015063525565	I say, Charley! ” “ What's up?"
mdp.39015063525565	I shall take the towel home and examine it in my little laboratory — did you know I have a small but rather perfectly equipped laboratory of my own?
mdp.39015063525565	I took it ’ ey was from some ship in tharbor. ” “ And you never saw him again? ” “ Never till Sunday past.
mdp.39015063525565	If Rilla Ravenelle were not aboard the vessel — and of that Strangely was by now convinced — what could have alarmed the master of the yacht?
mdp.39015063525565	If an odd job or two for a few shillings would do any good?"
mdp.39015063525565	If he were living, what was his reason for keeping out of sight?
mdp.39015063525565	If the girl is alive, where can she be now, if not on the Wall- Flower?
mdp.39015063525565	Impressed him firmly with the necessity for silence?"
mdp.39015063525565	Impudence?
mdp.39015063525565	In fact, he's so worked up over the affair that he ca n't wait for Scotland Yard to do its stuff?
mdp.39015063525565	In fact, scenes?
mdp.39015063525565	In other words, who were her closest associates?
mdp.39015063525565	In such a case, why go to all that trouble?
mdp.39015063525565	In the meantime, if the girl were not on board the Wall- Flower, where was she?
mdp.39015063525565	Incompetence?
mdp.39015063525565	Instantly, with an oath, he recoiled and dropped it agai fiere, wholding, alardo, picked “ Here, what is it?"
mdp.39015063525565	Is he sure it was sent by a John Bell? ” Strangely nodded his head in well- simulated, slow- witted stub- bornness.
mdp.39015063525565	Is that Mr. Lawe?
mdp.39015063525565	Is that it, Kelly? ” questioned Mac- Donald, watching with enjoyment the three astonished faces be- fore him.
mdp.39015063525565	Is that right? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	Is that the way it always is?
mdp.39015063525565	Is that what I'm to understand? ” drawled Strangely.
mdp.39015063525565	Is that what you mean?
mdp.39015063525565	Is there anything more that you care to say in this connection? ”"Why- no, sir, ” faltered the landlady.
mdp.39015063525565	Is this woman reliable? ” “ I should imagine so.
mdp.39015063525565	It might, of course, if it were n't for just one thing! ” “ And what- is that one thing?"
mdp.39015063525565	It must be a strong one, unless 78 ALL ABOUT MARTIE 79 At Baronitair?
mdp.39015063525565	It must have belonged to someone else! ” “ That's likely, is n't it? ” said MacDonald sharply.
mdp.39015063525565	It seemed a bit odd. ”"You mean he had been in the habit of seeing her more often? ” THE RAVENELLE RIDDLE"Rather.
mdp.39015063525565	It seemed quite natural, under the circumstances. ” “ And you never saw this man again? ” There was the barest possible hesitation.
mdp.39015063525565	It was he who turned the case over to Scotland Yard in the first place?"
mdp.39015063525565	It was not his habit to break engagements? ” “ Oh, no, sir!
mdp.39015063525565	John Bell? ” she repeated with a rather pert glance at the visitor's disreputable apparel.
mdp.39015063525565	Just what were Mrs. O'Brien's words?
mdp.39015063525565	Know him?"
mdp.39015063525565	Last night? ” “ Mebber,"replied the child, indifferent once more.
mdp.39015063525565	Lawe?"
mdp.39015063525565	Look here, my son! ” “ Yes, Father. ” “ You're not worrying about that girl, are you?
mdp.39015063525565	Lyin', was I?
mdp.39015063525565	Martie know? ” faltered Mrs. O'Brien, suddenly paling"Well, it might be.
mdp.39015063525565	May I sit down? ” MacDonald waved him to a nearby chair, and then seated him- self on an adjacent lounge.
mdp.39015063525565	Might he not have been entrusted with a message for her?
mdp.39015063525565	Non?
mdp.39015063525565	Not Watkins, the postman- the chap we were going to see? ” was the thundering reply.
mdp.39015063525565	Now what do you suppose took Cumberland away in such an infernal hurry to- night?"
mdp.39015063525565	Now, Mr. MacDonald, shall I see if our doctor has come from headquarters, and, if he has, order the body removed?
mdp.39015063525565	Now, if Smith has a different name, and the yacht is a different yacht, how in the name of peace would the Ravenelles figure out who the owner was?
mdp.39015063525565	Now, to whom was that letter written?"
mdp.39015063525565	Now, what do you say?"
mdp.39015063525565	O'Brien ’s?"
mdp.39015063525565	O: rather, there you are n't?
mdp.39015063525565	Oh- ho, thought Strangely, did she, indeed?
mdp.39015063525565	Only — why?
mdp.39015063525565	Or am I?
mdp.39015063525565	Or did he hide something here just before he left?
mdp.39015063525565	Or did it?
mdp.39015063525565	Or if still others had revealed themselves to the British detective?
mdp.39015063525565	Or per- haps you have n't? ” Lawe colored.
mdp.39015063525565	Or so I gathered from Rilla's conversation. ” “ And where does this cousin, this Ralph Cumberland live?"
mdp.39015063525565	Parker, can you tell me anything about the personnel of the advertising department? ”"It's a smallish affair, sir, ” answered Parker.
mdp.39015063525565	Perhaps he did n't know it was there?
mdp.39015063525565	Pillar box, is it?
mdp.39015063525565	Put on your hat now, and we'll start. ” “ Start where? ” inquired Lawe as he complied.
mdp.39015063525565	Ravenelle, have you ever heard of a yacht called the Wall- Flower?"
mdp.39015063525565	See?
mdp.39015063525565	See? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	Sentiment?

mdp.39015063525565	She refused to go with me, several times, for this reason. ”"Have you any idea to what friend she referred? ”"Absolutely none.
mdp.39015063525565	She was sure it was on July 17th that she had done this?

mdp.39015063525565	So the autopsy need not have been as conclusive as we thought. ” “ But now that there's a chance, you wo n't give up?
mdp.39015063525565	Still clinging to your old idea about Mr. Strangely, are you? ” Lawe spoke up harshly.

mdp.39015063525565	Still — your man did n't open this?'

mdp.39015063525565	Tell me, Mr. Lawe, how do you say the word Wall- Flower in French? ” Lawe stared at him blankly, taken aback by the sudden ques- tion.
mdp.39015063525565	That Rilla had been crying, and that she said'someone she loved was unworthy? ” “ Yes, I remember,"said Lawe.
mdp.39015063525565	That girl involved in an opium plot?

mdp.39015063525565	That the body may not belong to Rilla, in spite of evidence to the contrary?

mdp.39015063525565	The acquaintances of Miss Ravenelle? ”"Two are typists from our own offices, Elsa Berry and Ruth Wilson.
mdp.39015063525565	The apparently simple disappearance of an obscure little typist had led further and further, until it would end — where?
mdp.39015063525565	The missing girl had been employed in his offices?
mdp.39015063525565	The motive?
mdp.39015063525565	The second question naturally is — Why did he bring it?
mdp.39015063525565	The word melancholy type?
mdp.39015063525565	Then he was not living in London before that? ”"I could n't say, sir.
mdp.39015063525565	Then she did not take his dictation?
mdp.39015063525565	Then there's this — if Cumberland had given up his room and handed in his keys, how did he get back in?
mdp.39015063525565	Then: “ You say that Mr. Strangely left you at nine- thirty the night before last — July 20th that was? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063525565	There had — perhaps- been discussion about it?
mdp.39015063525565	They was speaking entirely in whispers. ”"Had you any idea who it could be? ”"No, sir, I had n't.
mdp.39015063525565	This Martie, ” he added in a harsh voice, “ of course, she knew that Cumberland was fond of Rilla?"
mdp.39015063525565	To whom does it belong? ”"That- is- Peter Strangely's corncob pipe! ” replied Lawe hoarsely.
mdp.39015063525565	Was Cumberland on that yacht now?
mdp.39015063525565	Was he dead?
mdp.39015063525565	Was he living?
mdp.39015063525565	Was she dead- murdered?
mdp.39015063525565	Was the address in London? ” Watkins nodded his head affirmatively.
mdp.39015063525565	Was you hungry now, sir?
mdp.39015063525565	Well, man, where's your tongue?
mdp.39015063525565	Well, what do you think of my theory? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	Well, what was his theory about the type- writing machine? ” “ He seemed to have some odd idea about Miss Ravenelle,"ex- plained Lawe reluctantly.
mdp.39015063525565	Were you on at 10:10?
mdp.39015063525565	What about it, Kelly?
mdp.39015063525565	What all did she tell you? ” A slow painful blush, perceptible even in the dusk of the car, spread over the lad's face.
mdp.39015063525565	What did he think it contained?
mdp.39015063525565	What do you mean? ” Lawe stared.
mdp.39015063525565	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063525565	What do you say, Mr. Lawe? ”"It's — staggering, if true, ” said Lawe, finding his voice.

mdp.39015063525565	What do you think about it? ” “ I think, ” said MacDonald slowly,"that she lied.
mdp.39015063525565	What do you think? ”"I scarcely know what to think, ” said Geoffrey uncertainly.

mdp.39015063525565	What had he learned further about the affair?
mdp.39015063525565	What had he meant by his implication that something was wrong in the old and honorable firm of Lawe& Son?

mdp.39015063525565	What have you got in that red head of yours now? ”"Just this, Mr. MacDonald.
mdp.39015063525565	What more natural than that Martie Green, seeing her start for the pillar box, should give her her own letter, too?
mdp.39015063525565	What motive does anyone have in cutting off a finger?
mdp.39015063525565	What other possible combination could there be?

mdp.39015063525565	What's the address? ”"It's out Earl's Court way, sir.
mdp.39015063525565	What?
mdp.39015063525565	When did you make the marks?
mdp.39015063525565	When had Strangely noticed all these things?
mdp.39015063525565	When had he pieced them together thus, bit by bit?

mdp.39015063525565	When he and Lawe had visited Mrs. O'Brien last night, the boarding- house- keeper had spoken of a maid, had n't she?
mdp.39015063525565	When was this? ” He realized that he was forgetting to play a part, but, in his eagerness, he had ceased to care.
mdp.39015063525565	Where is he now?
mdp.39015063525565	Where was Mr. Strangely now?
mdp.39015063525565	Where was Rilla Raven- elle?

mdp.39015063525565	Who could have done it?
mdp.39015063525565	Who ever would have thought when Mr. Strangely advised tracing that first letter, that we would find a second?

mdp.39015063525565	Why did you keep some- thing back? ” The little Irish- woman reddened angrily.
mdp.39015063525565	Why does the world always assume that the relations between an employer and a typist he admires must necessarily be sordid?
mdp.39015063525565	Why had Strangely been so insistent about the letter that Mrs. O'Brien had mailed on the evening of July 17th?
mdp.39015063525565	Why had n't he thought of it before?
mdp.39015063525565	Why plant suspicion on him and then do away with him?
mdp.39015063525565	Why should Cumberland go to all the elaborate business of signalling? ” “ There are various reasons.

mdp.39015063525565	Why — Why?
mdp.39015063525565	Why, in the first place, did you refuse to tell me who painted them?
mdp.39015063525565	Why?
mdp.39015063525565	Will you kindly explain yourself? ”"Gladly,"replied Strangely, passing a tired hand over his fore- head.
mdp.39015063525565	Would MacDonald, too, have attached such impor- tance to that chance remark, and to the incident of the brief- case?
mdp.39015063525565	Would Mr. Lawe step in, please?
mdp.39015063525565	Would that work?
mdp.39015063525565	Yet the young man had persisted in his attentions?
mdp.39015063525565	Yet what motive could Mrs. O'Brien have for lying?
mdp.39015063525565	You do n't really think anything wrong is going on in our offices? ” His voice sounded incredulous.
mdp.39015063525565	You have your physician's permission to talk things over? ” Lawe nodded.

mdp.39015063525565	You say he gave you some commissions to perform this morning?
mdp.39015063525565	You say she had a black bag?
mdp.39015063525565	You say she had been with Lawe& Son for just six months? ”"That's all.
mdp.39015063525565	You see how it is, Mr. Lawe?
mdp.39015063525565	You think, then, that Rilla is on this yacht? ” “ That's something else again.
mdp.39015063525565	You understand? ”"Oh, yes, sir, I quite understand,"and Watkins smiled with feeble importance.
mdp.39015063525565	You'll go on hunting for Rilla?
mdp.39015063525565	You're walking, you say?
mdp.39015063525565	You've got what you want, my man. ”"'E warn't a sea- farin'chap, now? ” persisted Strangely.
mdp.39015063525565	You've no idea at all of Mr. Strangely's where- abouts? ” “ None at all! ” cried Lawe, who had started from his seat, at the Inspector's words.

mdp.39015063525565	“ A young lady was here, in your cottage?
mdp.39015063525565	“ Am I sure h’I'll get ut? ” “ S’elp me, ” replied the man.

mdp.39015063525565	“ And she gave you all that talk about discharging the girl, too, after you told her that? ”"Yes.
mdp.39015063525565	“ And that is all you know?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ And then to Mrs. Lugg's rooming- house- to the room just vacated that night by Ralph Cumberland? ”"I understood that he was.
mdp.39015063525565	“ And to whom were they written?
mdp.39015063525565	“ And what does this mean? ” she cried furiously.
mdp.39015063525565	“ And what was the young lady's name? ” he inquired as casually as possible.
mdp.39015063525565	“ And what would her young man think of that? ” he ques- tioned aloud.
mdp.39015063525565	“ And why do you want to know about the typing? ” “ Think back.
mdp.39015063525565	“ And you know that Mr. Lawe and I only wished to help her, too? ”"Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Are you there, Mr. MacDonald? ” he inquired, as a heavy, rumbling voice spoke at the other end of the line.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Are you there?
mdp.39015063525565	“ At what hour? ” “ Eight o'clock in the evening.
mdp.39015063525565	“ But can you meet me at your own offices in the city at, say, seven- thirty this evening?
mdp.39015063525565	“ But what are you going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ But what, Mrs. O'Brien? ” “ But we all did that same, sir, ” she ended weakly.
mdp.39015063525565	“ But why should he?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ But, Johnnie, did n't Doc- tor Stutt tell you not to mark up the yard this morning?"

mdp.39015063525565	“ D'yew know this place? ” he inquired diffidently.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Did I say I had n't found anything? ” he inquired quietly.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Did n't you ever hear of taking a chance?
mdp.39015063525565	“ Did you see Mrs. Baker's visitors last Sunday?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ Did you? ” countered Strangely.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Do you think I could look in without disturbing him?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ Do you want to rouse the house and have every Tom, Dick and Harry rushing in here to see what's the matter?
mdp.39015063525565	“ Eh? ” queried the old man irascibly.

mdp.39015063525565	“ He did not. ” “ But there had been no attempt on his part to buy the young lady off? ” “ My heavens, no! ” cried Lawe.
mdp.39015063525565	“ He was a methodical man?

mdp.39015063525565	“ I suppose those are your foot- prints out there? ” Doctor Stutt nodded, joining him.

mdp.39015063525565	“ What are the two things you want me to do? ” he asked drearily.
mdp.39015063525565	“ What d'you say?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ What did this young lady look like? ” “ Like one of them ladies in the cinema, ” answered Mrs. Baker promptly.

mdp.39015063525565	“ What do you think about that?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ What makes you think that? ” Strangely seized upon this bit of news.
mdp.39015063525565	“ What makes you think that? ” asked the younger man eagerly.
mdp.39015063525565	“ What message? ” inquired the redhead.
mdp.39015063525565	“ What next?
mdp.39015063525565	“ What next?
mdp.39015063525565	“ What reason have you to make such a statement? ”.
mdp.39015063525565	“ What the deuce are we looking for? ” panted Lawe at last, as, Alushed and warm, he stood facing the other man.

mdp.39015063525565	“ Where is he? ” “ You'll soon know more nor wot I does meself, ” responded Bobbs good- naturedly.

mdp.39015063525565	“ Whose else could it be?
mdp.39015063525565	“ Why did n't you tell us the truth about Rilla Raven- elle?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ Why do you say that? ” Mrs. O'Brien paused doubtfully, pleating her crisp white apron into neat folds.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Why should n't she? ” countered the American drily.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Why should she?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ Why,'oo would tamper with it, sir? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Wot's up? ” he said to his companion, a small, red- eyed man.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Would you care to hear the report? ” At Lawe's assenting nod, he rapidly thumbed through the papers until he found the one he wanted.
mdp.39015063525565	“ Would you, by heck? ” said Strangely, struck.
mdp.39015063525565	“ You are very, very fond of Rilla Ravenelle, are you not, Mrs. O'Brien? ” questioned the detective gently.
mdp.39015063525565	“ You had, then, no monetary aid from any other source?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ You have no idea who could have desired to put her out of the way?"
mdp.39015063525565	“ You really think that? ” asked Lawe slowly.
mdp.39015063525565	“ You say you first saw him a year ago?
mdp.39015063525565	“ You think she actually was holding something back? ”"I do n't know,"admitted MacDonald candidly, “ but there's something queer about it.
mdp.39015063525565	“ You will swear to that, Mrs. O'Brien?
mdp.39015063525565	“ You're sure that this discussion will not excite you unduly?

mdp.39015063525565	“ Your daughter has been employed for some months, Mr. Ravenelle?

mdp.39015031232229	An etherized gag was tied on his face. ” “ What does he say? ” “ He ca n’t talk much and does n’t know much.
mdp.39015031232229	And all I have to do is watch over a harmless door for four hours. ” “ Why you? ” Clague demanded, unsatisfied.
mdp.39015031232229	And can I help it if they slipped me tin dukes? ” Clague sized him up disgustedly.
mdp.39015031232229	And if so what was all the shooting for? ” Clague kept silent.
mdp.39015031232229	And if you think they ’re going to be satisfied with a ‘ How Did I Know?'

mdp.39015031232229	And those pearls worry him much. ” “ Why? ” Clague demanded, eyes lightening.
mdp.39015031232229	And until I can see sense to this anagram I want your precious body to be safe. ” “ You think there is danger, then? ” Pantigras asked mildly.
mdp.39015031232229	And why are they after you?
mdp.39015031232229	And you thought you were clever trying to buy your way out of this mess for a measly twenty grand?
mdp.39015031232229	Any idea what's behind it all, Mr. Morello? ” Morello made a gracious gesture of admission.
mdp.39015031232229	Any objections, Dunlop? ” Dunlop shook his head.
mdp.39015031232229	Any word from my driver? ” “ Not a peep, Mr. Clague.
mdp.39015031232229	Anyone else you want to ask about? ” the Commissioner inquired.
mdp.39015031232229	Anyone with jack. ” “ Blackmail? ” A startled look flashed over Nicky's eyes.
mdp.39015031232229	As I see it I ’ve got only two chances. ” “ Those are? ” “ First the girl.

mdp.39015031232229	Because of Schlemborn's murder?

mdp.39015031232229	But I do n’t think they ’ll start anything tonight. ” “ W- w- what makes you t- t- think so? ” Nicky asked hopefully.
mdp.39015031232229	But he steeled himself to snarl at her: “ What'd you expect?
mdp.39015031232229	But that's all. ” “ I’ave other means of income. ” “ Rodriguez know that? ” The black eyes spat at him.
mdp.39015031232229	But they made two slips. ” “ What were they? ” the Commissioner asked un- emotionally.
mdp.39015031232229	By the way, how do you get that order? ” The girl sat mum.
mdp.39015031232229	Can you do it? ” “ Sure thing, boss. ” “ Fine.
mdp.39015031232229	Can you repeat the mes- sage? ” The police alarm was shrieking through the build- ing as a signal for the closing of all exits.

mdp.39015031232229	Clague looked at his watch, then said, “ Please. ” “ ‘ Moonlight Sonata ’? ” she asked, but she added quickly, “ It ’s too long.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague said: “ Want to call him? ” 108 A DAGGER IN THE DARK “ You ’re not fooling me, ” she said.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague waited until he was several yards off be- fore he turned to Felicia: “ Now, you talk. ” “ What shall we talk a- bout? ” “ Addresses.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague — ” “ Known her long? ” “ I do not see what that has to do — ” “ You ’ve answered, ” Clague accepted grimly.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague, I am not a poor man, but — ” “ A million? ” There was no reply.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague, does it mean a business man is in trouble because he decides to take a holiday? ” Clague raised one skeptical eyebrow.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague, if I never owned them, how could I? ” Clague beamed: “ You seem to have learned that lesson very well.
mdp.39015031232229	Clague, ” Pantigras protested, “ that woman was a mistake. ” “ Where'd you get that line?
mdp.39015031232229	Clague, ” Pantigras scolded, “ I am not at all satisfied by your attitude toward my interests. ” “ What's the kick? ” Clague asked.

mdp.39015031232229	Could they tell just when you were coming toward them so you could hear? ” “ Why — I do n’t know. ” Lila was puzzled.
mdp.39015031232229	Did she recall Mr. Hoskins?
mdp.39015031232229	Did you ever think of that? ” “ I ’m thinking of it, ” Dunlop replied, eyeing Clague.
mdp.39015031232229	Did you know Pantigras has false teeth?
mdp.39015031232229	Do n't you know the Commissioner's looking for you? ” “ No.
mdp.39015031232229	Do you have to follow me everywhere? ” “ I was n't looking for you.
mdp.39015031232229	Do you know now? ” “ I ’ll know you when I see you again, ” Clague replied, lowering one hand to wipe his mouth.
mdp.39015031232229	Do you think you can afford not to go? ” “ I do n’t think, ” Clague barked.
mdp.39015031232229	Do you? ” “ Chop sticks.
mdp.39015031232229	Does that make anything to you? ” “ I know nothing about any other set of pearls, Mr. Clague, ” Pantigras replied placidly.

mdp.39015031232229	Dunlop asked: “ How about your cigarette case? ” “ I ’ll ask.
mdp.39015031232229	Dunlop sidled up, his voice placating: “ Was Schlemborn being blackmailed that you know of? ” “ That I know of? ” Clague barked.

mdp.39015031232229	Has he had to before? ” Clague raised an objecting eyebrow.
mdp.39015031232229	He does n’t mean that much to you, does he?
mdp.39015031232229	He never got up there. ” “ His home? ” “ Has n’t seen him.
mdp.39015031232229	He plays alone. ” “ Can you tell me anything about his habits? ” “ Very little, I am afraid.
mdp.39015031232229	He seemed to know when you were out. ” “ And you gave him my cigarette case? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015031232229	He ’s just the muscle man. ” “ Any suspicion whom he's working for? ” the Commissioner inquired.
mdp.39015031232229	He's already booked passage for Europe. ” “ Who are you?
mdp.39015031232229	He's disappeared. ” “ He ’s what? ” “ You did n't know? ” Dunlop asked cynically.
mdp.39015031232229	He's disappeared. ” “ He ’s what? ” “ You did n't know? ” Dunlop asked cynically.

mdp.39015031232229	His fist pounded on the desk as he bellowed: “ You do n’t think I ’m sap enough to believe I could get away with it?
mdp.39015031232229	How about it? ” Clague replied.
mdp.39015031232229	How about these servants? ” “ You saw them.
mdp.39015031232229	How and where did you hear of it? ” “ I got an earful I was n’t meant to, ” she explained.

mdp.39015031232229	How do you know who it is? ” He glanced at her but her face was expressionless.
mdp.39015031232229	How long do you think it will be until they know down at headquarters who the missing minister was?
mdp.39015031232229	How long have you been listening in on the extension up- stairs? ” “ Tonight was the first time.

mdp.39015031232229	I gave her explicit directions. ” “ She explained? ” Clague repeated.
mdp.39015031232229	I ’ll find him. ” “ You will? ” Impulsively Felicia ran around the desk.

mdp.39015031232229	If they are? ” Clague overlooked the insinuation.
mdp.39015031232229	Instead of answering the question, Clague asked: “ What ’s the rush? ” “ I have promised them.
mdp.39015031232229	Is your Spanish prima donna in on it? ” “ Who?
mdp.39015031232229	Is your Spanish prima donna in on it? ” “ Who?
mdp.39015031232229	It gives us a bad reputation. ” “ Then he did n’t have any complaints over the treatment he'd received from Bree and me? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	It is very fortunate for me that he succeeded in finding me. ” He turned to Felicia, “ Darling, do you mind? ” She made a moue of disgust.
mdp.39015031232229	It was open. ” “ Who had the apartment opposite it? ” “ Empty.
mdp.39015031232229	It wo n’t help him, though, when they discover the money's gone. ” “ Who else? ” “ Cotton Mattox, race track plunger.

mdp.39015031232229	The hallway was still in dark- ness when he bawled through the closed door: “ You alone? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015031232229	The one's who's being blackmailed? ” Nito's chief concern was in cleaning up his face.
mdp.39015031232229	Their hangout? ” “ No. ” “ I ’ll find out. ” The momentary explosion was over.
mdp.39015031232229	Their names?
mdp.39015031232229	There's a fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh reason but they're all the same. ” “ What are they? ” Clague stood still.
mdp.39015031232229	There's no use whining over that now. ” A DAGGER IN THE DARK 271 “ What's your idea? ” Bree asked.
mdp.39015031232229	They have n’t been around for a week. ” “ Who were they? ” Clague demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	They seemed all right to him. ” “ Who else has appealed to you? ” Clague asked abruptly.
mdp.39015031232229	To get information. ” “ With orders how to get it? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	To whom? ” “ My wife, of course. ” Clague rose and swung his right leg over the edge of the desk, puffing thoughtfully.
mdp.39015031232229	Want to come over and land him? ” “ You ’re not kidding me, are you? ” Dunlop de- manded.

mdp.39015031232229	Want to see them? ” “ Perhaps; but I do n’t think so.
mdp.39015031232229	We ai n’t had no calls since he talked with that man. ” “ Did he have any visitors? ” “ Visitors.
mdp.39015031232229	We do n’t want them to get any more of the people who've appealed to us. ” “ Who are they? ” Clague inquired.
mdp.39015031232229	We know there were several of them. ” “ They got in easily? ” “ The living room windows.
mdp.39015031232229	Well, if headquarters ca n’t tell you, you certainly do n't ex- pect me to know, do you? ” He replaced the re- Celver.
mdp.39015031232229	What can we surmise about this ring? ” “ It ’s well organized, ” Clague snorted.
mdp.39015031232229	What chance have I got? ” “ How should I know? ” Clague asked, and picked up his hat.
mdp.39015031232229	What chance have I got? ” “ How should I know? ” Clague asked, and picked up his hat.
mdp.39015031232229	What did you say his name was? ” “ Pantigras, ” Clague repeated.
mdp.39015031232229	What for? ” A DAGGER IN THE DARK 275 “ You know.
mdp.39015031232229	What for? ” Clague threw out his hands helplessly.
mdp.39015031232229	What for? ” Dingy demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	What right did that woman have to think she could weaken him with her time- worn bag of tricks?
mdp.39015031232229	What then? ” “ I came to ask you when I shall get my pearls back. ” Clague cocked a hand over a listening ear.
mdp.39015031232229	What was the big jam about? ” Felicia raised both hands in protesting ignorance: “ I do not know.
mdp.39015031232229	What was the quarrel you had with Miss Florente? ” As Pantigras maintained an obstinate silence, Clague turned to Felicia.
mdp.39015031232229	What's behind it all?
mdp.39015031232229	What, he asked himself, were the known facts?
mdp.39015031232229	When I'm not here? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	When Pantigras spoke it was a gasp: “ You would not do that. ” “ Why not, you cheap penny schemer? ” Clague barked.
mdp.39015031232229	When the man was free again he asked: “ Racketeers hang out here? ” The bartender answered, “ No, sir.
mdp.39015031232229	Where does he live? ” Felicia mentioned an address on East Eighty- fourth Street.
mdp.39015031232229	Where you heading for? ” Clague spoke rapidly: “ You ’ve got this thing sized up as well as I have.
mdp.39015031232229	Where'd you pick up this sheik? ” Nicky gestured toward the cloak room.
mdp.39015031232229	Where's your telephone? ” “ I ’ll show you. ” Clague led the way inside after ordering Jasper to keep everyone off the steps.
mdp.39015031232229	Which one? ” “ He lives in Brooklyn, Prospect Park section.
mdp.39015031232229	Who cares?
mdp.39015031232229	Who else would but you? ” “ That ’s what I ’d like to know.
mdp.39015031232229	Who have they got planted here? ” “ Here? ” Nicky looked up bewildered.
mdp.39015031232229	Who have they got planted here? ” “ Here? ” Nicky looked up bewildered.
mdp.39015031232229	Who is he? ” “ I do n’t know, sir. ” Clague's eyes remained cold, but his clenched fist struck out, catching Jasper on the mouth.
mdp.39015031232229	Who's in her dressing room to- night? ” “ Someone new.
mdp.39015031232229	Who's running it? ” Momentarily Clague lost control.
mdp.39015031232229	Who's the big shot behind Hatton? ” Nito's punch- sleepy eyes opened in surprise.
mdp.39015031232229	Why did n't they? ” he asked impa- tiently.
mdp.39015031232229	Why not? ” Clague accepted the statement amicably.
mdp.39015031232229	Why should n't he take a vaca- tion one day a year if he wants to?
mdp.39015031232229	Why?
mdp.39015031232229	Why?
mdp.39015031232229	Why? ” Bree was puzzled.
mdp.39015031232229	Why? ” “ Do n’t know.
mdp.39015031232229	Why? ” “ I ’m curious to find out how they work. ” “ They? ” Pantigras questioned.
mdp.39015031232229	Why? ” “ I ’m curious to find out how they work. ” “ They? ” Pantigras questioned.
mdp.39015031232229	Why? ” “ Was that the first time you saw her? ” “ Yes. ” “ You work fast, ” Clague commented with grim irony.

mdp.39015031232229	Willing to let those flatfeet pick up Baby Face? ” “ I guess so.
mdp.39015031232229	With the receiver and mouthpiece against his chest he asked: “ Been reading the papers lately? ” Dingy nodded.
mdp.39015031232229	You ca n’t make a master mind out of that material. ” “ Supposing we sweat them? ” “ Perhaps, ” Clague admitted.
mdp.39015031232229	You just lost them from your pocket? ” “ Yes. ” “ Were they in a box at the time? ” “ No- Yes.

mdp.39015031232229	You see, sir, he ’d given me his word not to shout. ” “ But you could n’t take chances? ” “ Naturally not.
mdp.39015031232229	You want to stay? ” he said.
mdp.39015031232229	You would n't be kidding? ” “ Not with you, I would n't.
mdp.39015031232229	You would n't kid me? ” “ It is possible, Mr. Clague.
mdp.39015031232229	You would n't under- stand. ” “ Why should I, for the luvva Mike?
mdp.39015031232229	You ’ve heard of them? ” “ There ’s been some loose talk, ” Clague answered.

mdp.39015031232229	at Har- mon? ” “ I suggested a little holiday.
mdp.39015031232229	if you know its parents. ” “ Gingerale or White Rock? ” “ The last. ” Clague called to Jasper to bring ice and White Rock.
mdp.39015031232229	in time? ” she asked.
mdp.39015031232229	still out of breath. ” “ How about a highball? ” “ No.
mdp.39015031232229	why not? ” “ Why not, ” Clague echoed.
mdp.39015031232229	“ A bodyguard? ” “ Thanks, no.
mdp.39015031232229	“ A name?
mdp.39015031232229	“ A reservation for Mr. Niles? ” The clerk stood up to see the room cards.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Afraid of him with your toy cannon? ” She trembled.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ai n’t I always been on the up and up with you?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ai n’t that hell? ” Bree said with genuine regret.
mdp.39015031232229	“ And the organization? ” “ I imagine so. ” “ What else do you want? ” the Commissioner de- manded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ And the organization? ” “ I imagine so. ” “ What else do you want? ” the Commissioner de- manded.

mdp.39015031232229	“ And they were n't stolen from you?
mdp.39015031232229	“ And toss off several centuries? ” the bartender protested indignantly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ And why should n't I? ” the girl screeched.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Any idea at all where he might be? ” Felicia shook her head.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Any idea when she ’ll be back? ” “ She wo n’t, ” the boy answered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Any idea where he blacked out to? ” “ No. ” “ Or why? ” “ Search me. ” “ What was his racket? ” “ Frails, I guess.

mdp.39015031232229	“ Any idea who the big shot is? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Any name? ” “ Tell her Mr. Dunlop called, ” Clague replied.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Any word from Pantigras? ” “ No.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Anyone using it? ” “ No. ” A five- dollar bill changed hands.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Anything new? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Anything we can do for you, mister? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ As usual? ” Jasper asked meaningly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ask this boy here. ” “ What kind of a hat did he wear, kid? ” Dunlop asked the bellhop.
mdp.39015031232229	“ But it's cost- ing you fifty bucks not to know where this one is. ” “ Whashash to me?
mdp.39015031232229	“ But why pick you for it? ” Lila clawed for his cheeks.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ca n't you guess? ” the girl replied.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ca n't you see it looks phony? ” “ Just try to understand, ” Lila argued.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ca n't you see you're being framed? ” Lila swayed uncertainly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Can the feet work? ” Clague nodded, his head still swimming.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Can you beat them ignorant foreigners? ” he asked, his feelings demanding an audience.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Can you beat this guy?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Can you get him to stick his John Hancock on what you want before they get here? ” “ Mebbe.

mdp.39015031232229	“ Can you tell me where Miss Florente lives?

mdp.39015031232229	“ Come to cases. ” “ What do you want? ” “ Not blackmailers.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Dammit, Clague, do you have to be snooty?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Damn it, ca n’t I get it through your head that we're both sunk unless I can put my finger on the right guy?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Did n't know I worked five years for a manu- facturing jeweler, did yuh? ” he chuckled.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Did n't take you long, did it? ” “ Two minutes and fifty seconds, ” Greavy boasted.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Did she leave any forwarding address? ” “ I do n't know of any.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Did they get away, boss? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Did you know Hatton was to be here tonight? ” Nicky's teeth chattered like a monkey's and he could n't answer.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Dingy, is there any chance of anyone listening in on my extension? ” “ Not yet, ” the wise kid answered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Do me a favor? ” Clague requested.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Do n’t you guys ever grow up?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Do n’t you have someone to answer the phone when you're out, Clague? ” Clague grinned.

mdp.39015031232229	“ Hard on the bean, old kid? ” The boy, doubled over in the arm chair, stirred.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Has he any friends to turn to in a fix like this? ” There was no answer.

mdp.39015031232229	“ How about drivers? ” “ We can supply a driver, too. ” “ I ’d want to be particular about the driver. ” “ Sure, ” the man answered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How dare you? ” “ Keep that trap closed. ” “ You ’ve no right to speak to me like that. ” “ I have n’t.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How did you find out? ” “ He told me. ” “ Just sort of came and confessed because his con- science was hurting him, ” Dunlop sneered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How did you get these? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How do you figure that out? ” “ They ’d gotten away with Mattox's five grand.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How long have you been on this racket? ” There was no answer.

mdp.39015031232229	“ How many meals did you buy for him, sister? ” The girl ’s cheeks flamed.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How much could she col- lect if she knew what you, I and the other people who are after these pearls know?
mdp.39015031232229	“ How much did he take you for? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How much have you pulled his leg for, anyway? ” “ I have not pulled his leg, ” Felicia protested in- dignantly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ How should I know? ” Clague barked.

mdp.39015031232229	“ I did n’t know he was that good. ” Aloud he added: “ Did he keep the appointment? ” Martinez said: “ I do not know.
mdp.39015031232229	“ I got a complete confession out of him in writing. ” “ You did? ” Clague ejaculated.
mdp.39015031232229	“ I had n’t heard from them. ” “ They gave you the apartment address? ” The Commissioner shook his head decisively.
mdp.39015031232229	“ I suppose Dunlop and Greavy will be getting the mentions on breaking this case? ” The Commissioner frowned, puzzled.
mdp.39015031232229	“ I think she likes me. ” “ Yeah? ” Clague retorted.
mdp.39015031232229	“ I thought I knew a lot, but you've shown me some- thing. ” “ Can you get him to put it in writing?

mdp.39015031232229	“ Is she in? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Is that all you have to tell? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Is that true? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ It did n’t occur to you that the grandmother might want to get away from the city, too, did it? ” he asked mischievously.
mdp.39015031232229	“ It is Mr. Clague? ” The man with her was Pantigras.
mdp.39015031232229	“ It usually does. ” “ The insurance company? ” the voice shrieked.

mdp.39015031232229	“ Just before dinner. ” “ You did n’t come with him, then? ” “ No.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Just ca n’t keep ’em away, can you, Clague? ” Clague was furious.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Just like their dad- dies? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Know him, too? ” the Commissioner asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Know them?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Know who the party's for? ” he asked huskily.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Let ’s see, ” he tried gently, “ you make a hundred a week, Felicia? ” 30 A DAGGER IN THE DARK “ A hundred and twenty- five.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Look here, ca n’t you take my word? ” he argued.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Mabee Madame Pantigras would not come back, eh? ” “ She would with the kind of cable I ’d send, ” Clague retorted.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Miss Florente come in yet? ” The girl stopped her gum chewing long enough to shake her head sideways.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Miss Florente there? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Miss Klotzman in? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Miss O'Malley? ” “ I doubt it.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Mister Clague, how am I to tell heem to go packing so queeckly? ” “ That's your business. ” Clague was watching from a corner of his eye.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Mister, do you really want to rent a car? ” he said.
mdp.39015031232229	“ More likely, though, you'd simply be tipping off your hand. ” “ How about Jasper? ” “ I ’ll vouch for him, ” Clague asserted.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Morello's one of the four you ’ve been protect- ing? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Murder? ” Clague stammered, tried to speak, stopped.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Must we go into this now, Bernard? ” “ Now, darling, or any time you choose.
mdp.39015031232229	“ My God, you're asking me to be moral inspiration to a dancing gigolo? ” “ You do not und'stand, ” Felicia said, pushing the money over.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Naw, ” the man said disgustedly, “ I ’m telling you he only wants to talk to you. ” “ How long has the word been out? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Nito ’s a butcher. ” “ Nito'? ” “ Baby Face.
mdp.39015031232229	“ No number? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015031232229	“ No phony? ” Clague questioned.
mdp.39015031232229	“ No, but what ’s the rush? ” “ There ai n't none, except that having left the city payroll I ’ve got to work for a living.
mdp.39015031232229	“ No. ” “ Can you tell me when she's expected? ” “ She is n't.
mdp.39015031232229	“ No. ”- “ Pantigras fill the bill? ” Clague snorted contemptuously.
mdp.39015031232229	“ None of 158 A DAGGER IN THE DARK the packages we ’ve left have been touched except one. ” “ And that one? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Not as smart as you thought, eh? ” he triumphed.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Not monkey business, then? ” Crimson flooded Pantigras'thin cheeks.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Not taking chances, are you? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Not that way. ” “ What then? ” she asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Now who the hell could have done that? ” She gestured helplessly with her hands.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Now why should anyone want to do that to you? ” he asked sarcastically.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Off for the evening. ” “ Alone? ” 94 A DAGGER IN THE DARK “ Um- yes. ” “ You take chances, ” Clague said.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Oh, yeah? ” Greavy chirped.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Pantigras'Samurai string? ” “ Yes, ” Clague replied, wondering.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Play? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Pretty old to be mixed up in this, was n't he? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Ready to talk? ” Nito's reply was not tender and Clague's face hardened as he pulled his arm away.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Rich stuff, eh? ” “ A real toff, I'd say.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Say, boss, if those guys are so smart, why did n’t they get their men? ” 84 A DAGGER IN THE DARK Clague did n’t try to answer.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Schlemborn was to have handed them over to you tonight? ” “ I was hoping he would. ” “ He did n’t have them?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Schlemborn was to have handed them over to you tonight? ” “ I was hoping he would. ” “ He did n’t have them?
mdp.39015031232229	“ See any story about a murdered taxi driver or an abandoned cab? ” Dingy shook his head.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Servants? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ She jus ’ moved out this morning. ” “ Got her address? ” “ No, Sah. ” Clague snorted.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Snap out of it. ” “ I d- don’t k- know. ” “ They spent dough here? ” “ L- l- lots. ” Clague jeered derisively.
mdp.39015031232229	“ So you ’re on the job? ” The greeting was not unfriendly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Some more? ” she asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Stay?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Still riding on the crest? ” he asked pleasantly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Stole a march on me, did n't you? ” “ I ’ve been up an hour, ” she protested.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Supposing you tell me what's happened first? ” “ The precinct station got the word anonymously and called me.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Sympathetic as hell, ai n’t he? ” “ You ’d think it was his own brother, ” Dunlop agreed.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Take off your coat? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Taking money illegally? ” He read the answer in Clague's eyes.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Tell Pantigras you ’ve played him for a sucker and let a dancing gigolo get away with pearls worth fifty grand? ” There was no answer.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Tell me, what's your racket? ” Her smile mocked him as she leaned forward.
mdp.39015031232229	“ That's her granddaughter, Miss O'Malley. ” “ Miss O'Malley?
mdp.39015031232229	“ That's straight — about him having been dead an hour? ” “ On the level. ” Clague pocketed his gun.
mdp.39015031232229	“ That's the second time you've asked that. ” “ Have they? ” “ Not that I know of. ” “ Not that you know of, ” Greavy cut in.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The Graphic wants a photograph of Mr. Clague? ” Clague repeated.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The Greek importer? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The Spanish threat? ” Pantigras shook his head.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The dancer? ” “ Felicia?
mdp.39015031232229	“ The dancer? ” “ Felicia?
mdp.39015031232229	“ The doorbell rang several times this evening. ” “ Who was it? ” “ I do n’t know, sir.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The girl? ” Clague asked and kept going, with- out waiting for a reply.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The only doorway to each is from the hall? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ The wrong name I suppose? ” Pantigras checked him up sharply.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Them flatfoot alumni friends of yours was here. ” “ What'd they want? ” “ You. ” “ You told them I was out? ” “ Sure.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Them flatfoot alumni friends of yours was here. ” “ What'd they want? ” “ You. ” “ You told them I was out? ” “ Sure.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Then what do you think of this? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Then you will help? ” she asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ They do n’t dare start anything around here. ” “ Why not? ” Clague asked amicably.
mdp.39015031232229	“ They knew you came to me. ” “ Must you spoil it all? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ This time by invitation?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Thought you had n’t no interest in him? ” he said.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Three parties are after the man who has your pearls. ”- “ You know who has them then? ” Pantigras asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Too dumb to know why those pearls are valu- able? ” “ Why not ask Pantigras? ” she replied sweetly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Too dumb to know why those pearls are valu- able? ” “ Why not ask Pantigras? ” she replied sweetly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Unless that pimp-"“ What pimp? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Want me to look up your Park Avenue lease? ” Miss O'Malley chortled delightedly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Well, Clague? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Well, if you hear of any — ” “ Who are the four who came to you? ” Dunlop remained silent.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Well, maybe you can kid her into liking you again. ” “ You think so? ” Martinez asked hopefully.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Well, ” Clague said finally, “ what do we do?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Well? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Wh- what are you doing here? ” he finally man- aged to ask, trying to put some asperity in his tone.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Wh- what do you want? ” Nito demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Whasha want? ” she asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What about him? ” “ He ’s escaped from stir.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What about the escaped convict you ’ve got work- ing for you, Clague? ” the Commissioner asked plac- idly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What did you do to whom and why? ” “ I had the string made up as a gift in token of a very dear friendship.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What did your grandmother say? ” “ She said they understood perfectly how I felt about things.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What do I tell him when I get him on? ” “ Nothing, ” Clague replied.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What do you want me to do? ” Clague barked, his voice cracking like a lash.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What happened to him? ” “ He drove away. ” Clague surveyed the faces about him, then looked up and down on both sides of the street.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What happened? ” was his first question.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What if I do n’t? ” Clague asked as soon as he could talk.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is it you wish me to do? ” “ Talk, ” Clague said.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is it you wish to know? ” “ How'd Martinez get them? ” “ I showed them to him, ” Felicia stammered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is it you wish to know? ” “ How'd Martinez get them? ” “ I showed them to him, ” Felicia stammered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is your retainer, Mr. Clague? ” “ My usual retainer is five hundred, ” Clague said.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is? ” Getting no reply Clague rose, chirped “ Still step- brothers? ” and started for the door.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is? ” Getting no reply Clague rose, chirped “ Still step- brothers? ” and started for the door.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What is? ” “ You have n’t told me anything. ” A DAGGER IN THE DARK 221 Morello took a seat on the couch.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What kind of a dump is it? ” “ Typical Yorkville lodging house.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What makes you so cocksure you can pin it on one of the people I know? ” he de- manded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What reason is there that this man could n't fill the bill, then?
mdp.39015031232229	“ What the hell's this got to do with the murder?
mdp.39015031232229	“ What ’s behind it then?
mdp.39015031232229	“ What ’s the Offer? ” “ Ten grand. ” The nostrils stopped twitching.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What'd he have on you? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's going on? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's his game, then? ”- Clague answered frankly: “ I do n’t know.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's it all about, anyway? ”* “ I do n't know, ” she snapped.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's it to you? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's on the old man? ”*.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's the idea? ” Clague asked without turn- ing.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's the story? ” “ It is Rodriguez. ” Felicia colored her phrases with a lisping Latin accent.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's up, Clague? ” Dunlop demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's up? ” he asked again.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's up? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's up?'
mdp.39015031232229	“ What's your chief interest these days? ” “ Pearls, ” Clague answered frankly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ When you overheard the plot against Morello, did they know you were within hearing?
mdp.39015031232229	“ When ’d he tell you that? ” “ Tonight, rather last night was the latest.
mdp.39015031232229	“ When'd you get here? ” he asked Miss O'Mal- ley.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where are they? ” “ I do n’t know. ” A clenched fish crashed against Clague's lips and made him blink.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where are they? ” “ I do n’t know. ” Clague saw the blow coming and started to lower his hands to protect himself.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where are we going? ” “ Home, my home. ” “ What for? ” Clague whistled a line of “ When I Get You Alone Tonight. ” “ Talk.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where are we going? ” “ Home, my home. ” “ What for? ” Clague whistled a line of “ When I Get You Alone Tonight. ” “ Talk.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where are you going? ” Her words brought him back.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where does she live? ” Pantigras mentioned an address on West Fifty- fifth Street and Clague wrote it down.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where the hell have you been, Clague?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where'd they take you? ” Clague asked abruptly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where's Jasper? ” “ He ’s dispossessed.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where's a good place to eat? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Where? ” “ You told me to start in the Village.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Which one? ” “ ‘ The Prince Chap, ’ ” she quoted.
mdp.39015031232229	“ While you sit here they ’re planning to commit murder. ” “ Who are ‘ they ’? ” Clague asked coldly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who bumped off Gentleman Jeff? ”- Nito turned a cut, bruised, puzzled face.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who did what to whom and why? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who gives Hatton orders? ” Nito shook his head.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who gives you your orders? ” “ That I do n’t know. ” Clague unfastened his tie and loosened the collar button.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who is he? ” “ His name is Rodriguez Martinez. ” “ Eh'? ” The pencil scrawled aimlessly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who is he? ” “ His name is Rodriguez Martinez. ” “ Eh'? ” The pencil scrawled aimlessly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who is it? ” her voice said in answer to Clague's knock.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who tipped off their hand to you — and why?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who was it?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who ’s behind it? ” he asked, rubbing his sore knuckles.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who ’s in there? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who ’s there? ” Pantigras ’ voice asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who's he? ” Bree explained.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who's there? ” a sleepy voice droned.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who's up there? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who's upstairs? ” he asked in a quiet tone.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who? ” he asked Miss O'Lally.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Who? ” “ The man I gagged.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Whom did you overhear? ” “ You might guess but I wo n’t tell. ” “ That's too bad, ” said Clague.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Whose apartment was it and where? ” She remained silent, making a half- hearted at- tempt to straighten her disheveled hair.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Whose furniture? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Whose house is this? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why 2 ” “ They ’ve never dared talk like that before. ” “ Why now? ” “ I ’ll find out.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why are we wasting time with this guy? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why bump Morello off? ” “ I do n’t know.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why come to me?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why do n't you come clean? ” he snapped.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why not ask Pantigras? ” “ We tried to.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why not? ” Clague rose and paced restlessly behind his desk, one eye on his visitor.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why should the same gang that got Ormsby have killed Schlemborn?
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why was the house peppered if the body’d been dead an hour or so? ” he answered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Why? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Wo n't talk, eh? ” Clague said, rising.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Wo n't you stay a few minutes? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Yeah? ” Clague yawned.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Yeah? ” he drawled, unbelieving.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Yes. ” “ And you still think she's a nice, sweet, trust- worthy, homeloving girl? ” Pantigras ’ brow was clouded with doubt.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Yes. ” “ By Monday night you had arranged to meet Schlemborn? ” “ That is right. ” “ Christ, ” said Clague to himself.
mdp.39015031232229	“ Yes. ” “ When? ” “ This morning — maybe this afternoon. ” Clague could almost hear Pantigras thinking.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ca n’t never depend on them. ” “ This boy was good, I hear. ” “ Yeah? ” Nicky smirked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You called on my jewelers? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You claim there's no connection between these pearls and blackmail? ” Clague repeated his story wearily.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You deny ever having bought or owned such a string of pearls. ” “ Absolutely. ” “ Or having offered a reward for their return? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You did n't come over just to talk with me? ” Clague said.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You do not believe? ” Felicia asked, surprised and hurt.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You got a warrant? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You got the address? ” Clague knew it from memory and said so.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You got your man, did n't you? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You got'em? ” Greavy smiled knowingly.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You have n’t got the pearls? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You have n’t traced the knife, have you? ” he asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You honestly believe that?
mdp.39015031232229	“ You know him? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You know, then? ” he asked, his mood turning to child- ish delight.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You realize what that means? ” The worried look appeared again on the Commis- sioner's face.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You the manager? ” Clague inquired.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You were going to be here alone and let her know it? ” he snarled.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You were going to turn these over to Schlemborn? ” “ Yes. ” “ Where?
mdp.39015031232229	“ You were going to turn these over to Schlemborn? ” “ Yes. ” “ Where?
mdp.39015031232229	“ You were to go in?
mdp.39015031232229	“ You will not hurt me? ” he begged.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You will not tell him, Bernard? ” she pleaded.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You will not tell? ” “ I wo n’t, ” Clague promised, “ though God knows what you see in him. ” He slammed the door behind him, furious.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You would n’t let it swim in the river? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’d never know I got cracked. ” “ Been to a doctor? ” 130 A DAGGER IN THE DARK “ Naw.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’re good, ” he commented finally, “ so long as you do n’t pick'em too young. ” “ You think so? ” Felicia asked, flattered.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’re sure he's not the man? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’re sure? ” she asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’re sure? ” “ The landlady recognized the photograph. ” A DAGGER IN THE DARK 233 “ Is she on to you? ” “ I do n’t think so.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’re sure? ” “ The landlady recognized the photograph. ” A DAGGER IN THE DARK 233 “ Is she on to you? ” “ I do n’t think so.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’ve got cars for rent? ” Clague asked.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’ve heard of the Samurai pearls? ” “ Worth a hundred grand. ” “ Press agent figures.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’ve recovered all right, have n't you? ” “ Meaning up there? ” “ Yes. ” “ That was different.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’ve recovered all right, have n't you? ” “ Meaning up there? ” “ Yes. ” “ That was different.
mdp.39015031232229	“ You ’ve seen him before, have n’t you? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063588480	All right?
mdp.39015063588480	Are you positive Marsh is the man the baker means? ”I arranged about ten minutes ago for him to see Marsh without being seen.
mdp.39015063588480	Are you sure there's no mistake? ” he said. mdp.39015063588480 He did n't say anything more?"
mdp.39015063588480	He looks terribly worn, do n't you think so?
mdp.39015063588480	How do you do?
mdp.39015063588480	Is it really true he's dead? ” he said. mdp.39015063588480 Is this the White Laundry? ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	Surely, Duddy, ” said Alma,you do n't expect anything of that sort?"
mdp.39015063588480	Which of you is Mr. Lynch, please? ” he said. mdp.39015063588480 You're quite sure it was murder, are you?"
mdp.39015063588480	103 104 THE MUSEUM MURDER “ You were in the museum this afternoon, Mr. Marsh, I think? ” “ Oh, yes. ” Marsh gestured.
mdp.39015063588480	18 THE MUSEUM MURDER “ Well, what else could you expect? ” said Dudding- ton.
mdp.39015063588480	?
mdp.39015063588480	? ” “ Wait, ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	A great deal. ”"Have you noticed, ” said the inspector, “ if the col- lecting habit ever runs in families?
mdp.39015063588480	A key, sir?
mdp.39015063588480	A man he hated as much as he did Custis?
mdp.39015063588480	A parcel?
mdp.39015063588480	A roll?
mdp.39015063588480	Also it was about a man Haviz had made up his mind to kill. ” “ What time was this? ” asked Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	Ancient, lost work, hidden by dirt and varnish, painted over, but now restored, might appear. ” THE MUSEUM MURDER 133- “ And did they?"
mdp.39015063588480	And Mr. Custis discharged him. ” “ What did Slade say?"
mdp.39015063588480	And hard to deal with. ”"How long were you engaged with him — in this conversation, I mean? ” “ No more than fifteen or twenty minutes.
mdp.39015063588480	And he's turned up something, Inspector; something that looks mighty good. ” “ Is he in the building? ” said Lynch.'
mdp.39015063588480	And if the crime was the watchman, Slade's?
mdp.39015063588480	And our favorite pick is still young Gregory. ” “ Has Lynch spoken to Marsh again? ” “ Not yet.
mdp.39015063588480	And that beginning is the Hals painting. ” “ You are very sure of that, Duddy, are n't you? ” said the girl, wistfully.
mdp.39015063588480	And that final act was given to Mona Rogers to do. ” Did Billy ever really believe Sheerness had forgotten the matter of the Paris sale?
mdp.39015063588480	And then I says, did anything happen while he sat there?
mdp.39015063588480	And then, to top it all, he began making the institution rich gifts. ” Did Billy remember when the first of these gifts was made?
mdp.39015063588480	And they were sending him an enclosure, were they?
mdp.39015063588480	And when I said he'd gone out again, Mr. Haviz left. ” “ Did n't he say anything?"
mdp.39015063588480	And would a man who had trampled hun- dreds into the muck in his passage through the world stop THE MUSEUM MURDER 153 e was at one man's life?
mdp.39015063588480	And, I says, what did he do then, after that?
mdp.39015063588480	And, as usual, we did not agree. ” “ What did you talk about? ” “ About pictures.
mdp.39015063588480	Are they your drawings? ” “ Yes, ” said Billy, after a glance at the sheets.
mdp.39015063588480	But did it?
mdp.39015063588480	But that is hardly unique, is it?
mdp.39015063588480	But the night I've mentioned is the only time I've seen him. ” • “ You say you use this side street often on your way home?"
mdp.39015063588480	But the thing I'm thinking of is this: What's become of the painting?
mdp.39015063588480	But there was no one on the fire escape, and there was no one in the court. ” “ No one at all? ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	But what does Haviz's posses- sion of a key to the rear door indicate to you? ” Lynch looked at him, surprised.
mdp.39015063588480	But what's the idea?
mdp.39015063588480	But why am I here?
mdp.39015063588480	But, now, we know The Syndic's Daughter is missing, só would it be going too far to suppose it might have been that?
mdp.39015063588480	But, then, why should one of them fancy his keys?
mdp.39015063588480	Ca n't you see her?
mdp.39015063588480	Corne THE MUSEUM MURDER 59 “ How are you feeling, Mona? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	Could n't man be fat if he had a mind to?
mdp.39015063588480	Could you say, for example, if he had any enemies? ” Duddington pursed up his lips and blew out his cheeks until his face looked like a full moon.
mdp.39015063588480	Did Billy suppose Sheerness ever looked at it hanging THE MUSEUM MURDER 197 on the wall of the main gallery and admitted it wås not his property?
mdp.39015063588480	Did Billy suppose Sheerness had ever been satisfied to permit Custis, jeering, grinning, triumphant, to remain in possession of it?
mdp.39015063588480	Did Billy suppose Sheerness had ever really given that picture up?
mdp.39015063588480	Did he see anything?
mdp.39015063588480	Did n't you do something else first?
mdp.39015063588480	Did n't you hear it?"
mdp.39015063588480	Did n't you hide until everyone had gone away? ” “ No!
mdp.39015063588480	Did n't you hunt around to see if there was anyone hid- ing in any of the rooms — the murderer?"
mdp.39015063588480	Did n't you think it best to wait a little longer and make sure about him? ”.
mdp.39015063588480	Did n't you?
mdp.39015063588480	Did you notice how they worked on me?
mdp.39015063588480	Do you follow the scores in the newspapers? ”"I never miss a game,"said Monaghan, glowing.
mdp.39015063588480	Do you keep with me, sir?
mdp.39015063588480	Do you see what I mean?
mdp.39015063588480	Do you see what I mean?
mdp.39015063588480	Do you still think the killing of Custis was a thing actuated by personal hate?
mdp.39015063588480	Do you suppose, Inspector, because this man's interests have changed, his methods also have?
mdp.39015063588480	Do you understand that?
mdp.39015063588480	Everything goes slack when you're on duty, I might as well get in a loafer from the streets. ” ”"Was that all?"
mdp.39015063588480	Fine talent. ”"Being fellow trustees, I suppose Mr. Custis and Mr. Haviz were on friendly terms?"
mdp.39015063588480	For after it had been stolen, what could be done with it?
mdp.39015063588480	From my window I see this building. ” “ You are acquainted with Marsh, the man you were asked about?"
mdp.39015063588480	Had er 240 THE MUSEUM MURDER something happened that made this seem necessary? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063588480	Had he not said to her there were some things she'd not have to tell him?-that some of them he might already know?
mdp.39015063588480	Has the sergeant told you who these new people are? ” looking at the two girls and Billy Gregory.
mdp.39015063588480	Have you questioned him as yet?"
mdp.39015063588480	Haviz is a trustee of the museum. ” “ What do you mean by that? ” demanded Dudding- ton, sharply.
mdp.39015063588480	Haviz is an artist, I believe? ” “ A painter- yes.
mdp.39015063588480	Haviz?"
mdp.39015063588480	He did n't say anything to me, but he was nasty with Slade. ” “ What about? ”"About delay in ringing the bell warning the visitors to go.
mdp.39015063588480	He is employed in art matters by people who have some doubts as to their own knowledge. ” “ Did he speak to you? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063588480	He is not a good player. ” “ What gave you the idea he was watching the back entrance to this museum? ” “ At first I did not know he watched.
mdp.39015063588480	He said he wanted your aid in righting a wrong that had been done him?
mdp.39015063588480	He said in return for all these things he desired your support, did n't he?
mdp.39015063588480	He said plenty. ” “ What did he tell you? ” asked Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	He was here less than ten minutes when he left. ” “ That would be about...?"
mdp.39015063588480	He was pretty sour with everyone; and he was especially so with me. ” “ What reason had he for that? ” Billy smiled.
mdp.39015063588480	He went out of the office while I was still there, saying he would be back. ” “ And you waited for him?"
mdp.39015063588480	He'd have called to Slade at the front door. ” “ Duddy, ” said Alma, in a low voice, “ suppose it was Slade who killed him?"
mdp.39015063588480	He's sure. ” “ Have you got him in the building? ” “ Yes, sir. ”"He's in the corridor, now,"said Moore.
mdp.39015063588480	How can they profit by it?"
mdp.39015063588480	How could anybody who knows Billy go back on him in a thing like this?
mdp.39015063588480	However, that was all; I did not see any way in which he could be concerned. ” “ What's his history? ” asked the inspector.
mdp.39015063588480	I called him up on the tele- phone and he made an appointment. ” “ Do you mind telling the nature of your business?"
mdp.39015063588480	I did that; then I relieved Edwards at the front door. ”"When did you find the body? ” “ It must have been about six- thirty.
mdp.39015063588480	I do n't know if the rumor has any foundation, Mr. Chalmers, but if it has, would n't that give Custis a grip upon Haviz?
mdp.39015063588480	I have es- pecially looked in the small pocket inside the right- hand coat pocket, sir. ” “ You are quite positive, Turvy? ” “ Quite, sir."
mdp.39015063588480	I locked it carefully and tried it afterward to make was sure. ” And then the key?
mdp.39015063588480	I says to him, what did he do after he locked the front door?
mdp.39015063588480	I says, did he hear anything?
mdp.39015063588480	I tried to kid with him a little: I said: “ What's a few rules among friends?'
mdp.39015063588480	I visited several people. ” “ Who were they? ” “ The only important one was Sheerness. ” “ Are you in the habit of visiting him?"
mdp.39015063588480	I visited several people. ” “ Who were they? ” “ The only important one was Sheerness. ” “ Are you in the habit of visiting him?"
mdp.39015063588480	I'm sorry to have to get you here on such a business as this. ”"What have you found out? ” said Duddington, dis- turbed.
mdp.39015063588480	If Haviz killed him, what the motive?
mdp.39015063588480	If Sheerness hated Custis enough to want to take his life, you'll say, would he do what you've been told he's done for this museum?
mdp.39015063588480	In Henry Street. ” “ You never saw Haviz here at night but the once? ” “ No. ” “ What about Custis? ” Marsh shook his head.
mdp.39015063588480	In Henry Street. ” “ You never saw Haviz here at night but the once? ” “ No. ” “ What about Custis? ” Marsh shook his head.
mdp.39015063588480	In the cor- ridor, near the door of the picture gallery, I saw Marsh. ” THE MUSEUM MURDER 71 “ Who is he?"
mdp.39015063588480	Is n't that your idea? ” “ Yes, ” said Lynch quietly.
mdp.39015063588480	It has to do, as so many things seem to, of late, with Mr. Sheer- ness. ” “ What's that estimable gentleman been doing now?"
mdp.39015063588480	It was a way he had. ” “ Did he come into this office, then? ”.
mdp.39015063588480	It's been stolen, but how did the thief get it out of the building?"
mdp.39015063588480	Knowing he would not be able to take it away, why should he risk his life in the at- tempt? ” Duddington regarded her steadfastly.
mdp.39015063588480	More especially a particular key?
mdp.39015063588480	More people have attracted atten- tion to themselves by that little thing with a door than any other way I know. ”"Was that all? ” asked Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	Mr. Sheerness was going to dinner at THE MUSEUM MURDER 209 “ You have not spoken to him often, I'd say — other than the usual greetings??"
mdp.39015063588480	Mr. Sheerness was going to dinner at THE MUSEUM MURDER 209 “ You have not spoken to him often, I'd say — other than the usual greetings??"
mdp.39015063588480	Murdered?"
mdp.39015063588480	No. ” · “ Slade knows him, too, of course? ” Duddington smiled at this.
mdp.39015063588480	Of course, Mr. Haviz was a little short tempered at times, but then, that was really nothing. ” “ Short tempered?
mdp.39015063588480	Of course, their glass furnaces were crude, but what else could be said of any primitive art or handicraft?
mdp.39015063588480	Often he will come in and drink tea and smoke. ” “ Would this be during the day or night? ” “ The day.
mdp.39015063588480	Or does it look to you like a crime which was, perhaps, the accidental result of a robbery?"
mdp.39015063588480	Or was it last night?"
mdp.39015063588480	Paris, Rome, all the art centers of Europe?
mdp.39015063588480	Perhaps you could tell me where I might get in touch with the proprietor?"
mdp.39015063588480	Read the paper again?
mdp.39015063588480	She stood gazing at him for a moment, and then said anxiously: “ Is there something now that makes you think you are fortunate?
mdp.39015063588480	Sheerness? ” he said, and set the name down upon a sheet of paper.
mdp.39015063588480	Sit down. ” “ Could we have a window or two open? ” said Haviz.
mdp.39015063588480	So can you wonder if the police are impatient with you? ” There was a pause.
mdp.39015063588480	THE MUSEUM MURDER 109 “ Who was with him?"
mdp.39015063588480	THE MUSEUM MURDER 165 “ Where is Billy? ” she said.
mdp.39015063588480	That is the last time I saw him. ” “ What about Haviz?
mdp.39015063588480	The Artemis?
mdp.39015063588480	The business you were called in on, Mr. Chalmers, was possibly about his gifts to the museum? ” “ Yes, ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	The damned arrogance of the man is appalling, is n't it?
mdp.39015063588480	The gentleman was Mr. Sheerness, the banker. ” THE MUSEUM MURDER 97"Is that what you came to see Mr. Custis about? ”"Just a moment, sir."
mdp.39015063588480	The laundry, eh?
mdp.39015063588480	The other is a Murillo, now in Chicago, and the gem of a private collection. ” “ There were no more? ”"No."
mdp.39015063588480	The thing that looks least sometimes turns out best. ”?
mdp.39015063588480	The watchman spoke to me just before he put the lock on the door. ” “ Did you notice who came out after that?"
mdp.39015063588480	Then I saw the body and turned in the alarm. ” “ Did you do that immediately?"
mdp.39015063588480	Then I stopped here at the John Gregory on my way home. ” “ What time was that? ” “ Shortly after four.
mdp.39015063588480	There was a visitor here, that's all; and he took a somewhat uncon- ventional way of leaving. ” “ Someone you know?"
mdp.39015063588480	There were just the three of them. ” “ You've known Mr. Custis and Mr. Chalmers for a long time?"
mdp.39015063588480	There were people who dis- liked Custis at that time also, and some of them talked. ” “ What did they say?"
mdp.39015063588480	They've been on what might really be called friendly terms for a long time. ” “ On friendly terms?
mdp.39015063588480	They-- they only had a few words. ” “ What about? ”- “ I do n't know, ” said Mona, frightened, bewildered.
mdp.39015063588480	To whom?"
mdp.39015063588480	Two men and a girl, with a little time between them. ” THE MUSEUM MURDER 145 “ Did any of them carry anything?
mdp.39015063588480	Understand?
mdp.39015063588480	Want to see him?"
mdp.39015063588480	Was that not so?
mdp.39015063588480	Was there a good light at the door at that time? ” “ There is full daylight at five- fifteen, ” said Slade.
mdp.39015063588480	We get a great quantity of material, a huddle of facts; and somewhere inside that is the truth. ”"And then you sift it out? ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	We talked for a few minutes, and then he left. ” “ What did you do next?"
mdp.39015063588480	Were there any particulars? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015063588480	What are the chances, do you suppose, that they were two separate and unrelated crimes? ”.
mdp.39015063588480	What are the chances, do you think, of their having been done by different persons? ” “ Mona did n't do it!"
mdp.39015063588480	What came next?
mdp.39015063588480	What can you expect?
mdp.39015063588480	What damned nonsense is that?"
mdp.39015063588480	What did he do? ” “ He waited about five minutes, and then came out to where I sat.
mdp.39015063588480	What do you mean by that? ” Edwards gestured and hesitated.
mdp.39015063588480	What does that indicate to you?
mdp.39015063588480	What happened during that time? ” “ We talked.
mdp.39015063588480	What have I done? ” “ It's all right, ” said the precinct detective.
mdp.39015063588480	What if her name and news of her work were to be constantly seen in the newspapers and art publications?
mdp.39015063588480	What is it?
mdp.39015063588480	What of that?
mdp.39015063588480	What possessed them?
mdp.39015063588480	What say if I telephone for a doctor? ” “ No! ” Mona gestured, eager, frightened.
mdp.39015063588480	What was said?
mdp.39015063588480	What was that about? ” “ Oh, nothing much. ” MacQuarrie smiled; he made an affable gesture.
mdp.39015063588480	What's wrong, Turvy? ” “ Something terrible has happened, sir!"
mdp.39015063588480	What?
mdp.39015063588480	When was it said?
mdp.39015063588480	Where'd it come from, Custis? ” With a smirk Custis indicated Sheerness.
mdp.39015063588480	While talking with Custis in the corridor I'd picked the dagger up ” “ What for? ” said Moore, his cunning eyes like two beads.
mdp.39015063588480	Who but Sheerness desired the picture?
mdp.39015063588480	Who is it going to be? ” “ Gregory, ” said Lynch, truculently.
mdp.39015063588480	Who knows?
mdp.39015063588480	Why am I called here in the matter? ”"It is necessary to work out all the information we can,"said the inspector quietly.
mdp.39015063588480	Why was it said?
mdp.39015063588480	Would a man of Sheer- ness's temperament ever really forgive Custis for an affront so studied?
mdp.39015063588480	Would he not continue to loathe the Gregory Museum and curse it in his heart?
mdp.39015063588480	You have told them all you know, What more could they expect? ” Billy smiled, but rather faintly.
mdp.39015063588480	You were always in sight of the front door? ” “ I was. ”: “ It must have been rather tiresome."
mdp.39015063588480	You were at your desk then, were you not? ” “ I was. ” The girl lifted her head; she seemed alarmed; her hands grasped her sister's tightly.
mdp.39015063588480	You'll have to call to- morrow. ” “ Are you employed at the establishment? ” “ I'm the watchman. ” “ Thank you.
mdp.39015063588480	Your line of business brings you in contact with a great many people, I suppose, Mr. MacQuarrie? ” said Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	i “ What do you mean by that?"
mdp.39015063588480	one else? ” “ No; no one was there, probably because it was so late in the day."
mdp.39015063588480	she said, “ you see it! ”"By George! ” said Duddington enthusiastically, “ there's a fine lot of material in the subject, is n't there?
mdp.39015063588480	ting at supper- about any of the happenings of the day? ” “ Oh, well, I suppose everyone does that."
mdp.39015063588480	“ A glass shaker?
mdp.39015063588480	“ And I did n't touch the body. ” “ How long a time does it take to get from the front door, where you were standing, to the staircase?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ And Mr. Haviz? ” “ Yes, Mr. Haviz, too."
mdp.39015063588480	“ And how are you, Miss Rogers? ” to Alma.
mdp.39015063588480	“ And then what? ” “ Naturally, Slade was grateful.
mdp.39015063588480	“ And what about Newman? ” asked Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	“ And, once more, what has your acquaintance been with Haviz? ” “ Very slight.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Anyone else? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Are there any indications as to who might have killed him?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Are there any particulars?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Are you quite sure, after you looked at your watch, you did n't hesitate?
mdp.39015063588480	“ Are you the watchman who was on duty here to day?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ But in spite of that you knew of him?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ But what has that to do with me?
mdp.39015063588480	“ But what have you earned by way of Sheerness in the last, let us say, five years? ”"Nothing. ” Marsh shook his head.
mdp.39015063588480	“ But you have thought of him? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Can you elaborate that point a little?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Can you recall what he said? ” “ Why, yes.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Collectors must bring a good deal of variety into it by their different needs, I suppose? ” “ Quite so.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Could n't you speak to him? ” suggested Alma.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Did he, really?
mdp.39015063588480	“ Did you go anywhere? ”: “ Yes, to the Skillet Club.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Did you note anything in Mr. Sheerness's manner as he left the office?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Did you notice him going out to- day?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Do you know anything about where he spends his leisure hours — his evenings? ”.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Do you know anything of Haviz ’s habits? ” “ He is a moody kind of a man, a good painter, but one who refuses to conform.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Do you know if he and Mr. Custis were friends? ” “ Oh, no, ” said the girl.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Do you mind saying just what brought you to the museum this afternoon? ” “ Not at all.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Do you mind saying why that was?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Do you still keep an interest in the game?
mdp.39015063588480	“ Duddy,"she said, “ what do you think it means?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Edwards, the day watchman. ” “ Want to see him now? ” asked Moore of Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Edwards,"said the inspector, “ do you know Mr. Haviz, here? ” THE MUSEUM MURDER 135 1 “ Oh, yes.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Have you a pencil?
mdp.39015063588480	“ Have you any idea, Mr. Chalmers, where this man Marsh might be found? ” “ Not the faintest.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Have you brought me back to the hot city merely to witness someone's possible discom- fiture? ” “ Is n't that enough? ” said Custis.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Have you brought me back to the hot city merely to witness someone's possible discom- fiture? ” “ Is n't that enough? ” said Custis.
mdp.39015063588480	“ He'll not arrest him?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ How are you, Chalmers? ” said the latter.
mdp.39015063588480	“ How are you, Inspector? ” he said, easily.
mdp.39015063588480	“ How are you, Slade? ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	“ How are you? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ How are you? ” said Duddington to the girl.
mdp.39015063588480	“ How did he take your suggestion? ”"Mr. Custis has always been a difficult man to deal with, ” said MacQuarrie.
mdp.39015063588480	“ How did they say he was killed?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ How do you do, Mr. Haviz?
mdp.39015063588480	“ How do you know that?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ How does it happen you are here, ” he said to Marsh, “ if my messenger did not meet you?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ I say, ” he said to Alma, “ that's peculiar. ” “ What is? ” she said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ I'm not sure. ” “ Could you say if it was last week?
mdp.39015063588480	“ I'm only trying to untangle what I have in my mind. ” “ What is that?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Is that all you desired of us? ” he said, looking with aversion at Custis.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Is that your third or fourth conference with Mr. Lynch? ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Is this it? ” As the inspector spoke, Moore held up a curved dagger clotted with blood.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Is this the box? ” pointing to a safe at one side.
mdp.39015063588480	“ It's as interesting to me as it ever was. ”"Sporting finals of an afternoon, eh? ” Lynch smiled at him encouragingly.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Just how did he figure in that? ” “ Custis engaged him.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Just why did you feel that necessary?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ No one else? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063588480	“ She was the last? ” “ Yes. ” “ When did you last see Mr. Custis alive? ” asked the inspector.
mdp.39015063588480	“ She was the last? ” “ Yes. ” “ When did you last see Mr. Custis alive? ” asked the inspector.
mdp.39015063588480	“ She's worried, and she wanted to talk a little. ” “ What did she say?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ So why could n't the picture itself be slipped out, somehow?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Still in town, eh?
mdp.39015063588480	“ That's rather shocking, is n't it? ” Moore cocked one eye at him, a corner of his mouth drawn down.
mdp.39015063588480	“ The dogs all around him! ”"You came to see Custis this afternoon? ” said Lynch, fingering the sheets of paper.
mdp.39015063588480	“ This is a frightful thing, is n't it? ”{"Quite, ” said Billy.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Turvy, ” he said, “ why can you not get me any soft collars?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Want to see anybody? ”"Mr. Lynch, I think, ” said the young man, advanc- ing.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Was it any time lately? ” “ No, not lately. ” “ Not within several weeks? ”.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Was it any time lately? ” “ No, not lately. ” “ Not within several weeks? ”.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Was there any way of checking up on that?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Well, if you're speaking of richness, ” he said, “ what about Sheerness?
mdp.39015063588480	“ Well, that's the kind of thing I like to see. ” “ How can I?
mdp.39015063588480	“ Well? ” said the man.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Were Mr. Chalmers and Mr. Haviz still with Custis when you left? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063588480	“ Were you here on business? ” “ Yes, with Mr. Custis.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What damned nonsense is this? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What did you do that for? ” “ Oh, it was just a gesture.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What did you go upstairs for? ” “ To get my coat and hat.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What do you think is? ” asked Haviz.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What else did they say, Turvy?
mdp.39015063588480	“ What gave you that idea?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What if Alma were sent abroad for several years?
mdp.39015063588480	“ What is it, Duddy? ” asked the girl.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What is it? ” said Duddington, sitting up. “What is it?
mdp.39015063588480	“ What is it? ” said Duddington, sitting up. “What is it?
mdp.39015063588480	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What is that stuff? ” he said;“it seems to be scattered around hereabouts.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What the devil does the fellow mean?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What's his motive? ”"I could n't say, ” replied the fat young man.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What's the idea of the hurry, MacQuarrie? ” he said to the man.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What's the idea of your being brought in?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What's up?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ What's up?".
mdp.39015063588480	“ What's wanted? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What, in particular, did Haviz have against Custis- or vice versa? ” Duddington shook his head.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What, no absinthe? ” “ By no means, ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	“ What, then, becomes of your theory of Billy Gregory? ” “ I have not disturbed that, ” said Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	“ When did they tell you that? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Where did he go after he left Sheerness? ” asked the inspector.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Where did you see him?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Where were you during this time?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Who else came into the office?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Who was the next to leave? ” “ Young Mr. Gregory.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Why not? ” “ The laundry has made a mistake of some kind, sir.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Why was that? ” Haviz shook his head.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Why was that? ”"I was n't convinced you did not already know it, ” said Duddington.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Why, that was a devil of a state of things, was n't it?".
mdp.39015063588480	“ Will you come in? ” Mr. Podmore followed him in.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Will you sit down?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Will you take a seat outside somewhere, Mr. MacQuarrie? ” to the art dealer.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Would you know that weapon if it was shown to you?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Would you mind saying why he asked you to come here? ”"It was about a gift I'd made the museum, ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Yes. ” “ About what time? ” “ Perhaps about four- ten.
mdp.39015063588480	“ Yes. ” “ When did you use it last? ” “ I do n't know,"said Marsh.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You are Inspector Lynch?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ You are acquainted with the terms of John Gregory's will, I suppose, Mr. MacQuarrie? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You did n't go to the front door to make sure it was locked?
mdp.39015063588480	“ You did not go toward the back of the building?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ You did not have the key to- day?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ You do n't think it's much use to go on? ” But Moore's eyes snapped.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You gave it up?
mdp.39015063588480	“ You have your key, I suppose? ” There was a pause; then Haviz shook his head.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You left the dagger in the office? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063588480	“ You never left the steps?
mdp.39015063588480	“ You selected the spot outside the main gallery door to work in because the armor you were sketching was hanging there?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ You think Slade, perhaps, anticipated a possible checking up of the time and had the watch ready fixed? ” “ Such a thing is possible.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You think the crime was done by somebody belong- ing to the place? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You worked against Sheerness, did n't you?
mdp.39015063588480	“ You've got back to Haviz again, have you? ” he said to Lynch.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You've heard about the picture, I suppose? ” he said.
mdp.39015063588480	“ You've known Custis a long time, I understand?"
mdp.39015063588480	“ Your work was n't finished; you could n't go on with- out it, could you? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063746427	'Forgeries?' mdp.39015063746427 All of them?"
mdp.39015063746427	All right, then, you take the third weekhe was jotting notes down as he spoke,"shall we put Gilmour in for the fourth, and Tark here for the fifth?"
mdp.39015063746427	Am I to understand that you and Mr. Gilmour were engaged then, until the death of Mr. Ingram this morning?
mdp.39015063746427	And Frederick Ingram is by profession?
mdp.39015063746427	And pulled it down again?
mdp.39015063746427	And that means?
mdp.39015063746427	And the motive?
mdp.39015063746427	And the sheet Ingram really wore?
mdp.39015063746427	And what about the cartridge being loaded when he thought it was blank, what about that?
mdp.39015063746427	And what about your own little disagreement with Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	And what did your half- brother own, Mr. Ingram, that would make Mr. Gilmour — or anyone else for that matter — want to murder him?
mdp.39015063746427	And where is Mrs. Findlay? mdp.39015063746427 And where is the host or hostess?"
mdp.39015063746427	And where's her veil and her star?
mdp.39015063746427	And why has not the usual thousand been sent in this quarter day?
mdp.39015063746427	And why should the posting of the letter play any THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY 143 part in the crime?
mdp.39015063746427	And why, why did he pretend to care for me?
mdp.39015063746427	Any friends who might know where he is now?
mdp.39015063746427	Anything to make you suspect a crime besides the hole in the sheet which is too near the hem?
mdp.39015063746427	Are you going to?
mdp.39015063746427	Are you in a fog here?
mdp.39015063746427	Back again?
mdp.39015063746427	Badly frightened?
mdp.39015063746427	But have n't you come down for a game?
mdp.39015063746427	But if nothing happens, what does one do to get out of the rut? mdp.39015063746427 But what about Appleton?"
mdp.39015063746427	But why put it in his dressing- gown pocket?
mdp.39015063746427	But why? mdp.39015063746427 But — had you genius?"
mdp.39015063746427	By a notice to the Psychical Society?
mdp.39015063746427	By the way, Haliburton, care to make a specu- lative investment? mdp.39015063746427 By the way, have you seen Mrs. Appleton this morn- ing?"
mdp.39015063746427	By the way, what about the system?
mdp.39015063746427	Ca n't I run in and hand it to you?
mdp.39015063746427	Ca n't you clinch the matter by the sheets themselves? mdp.39015063746427 Come, Mr. Tark, why not let us work together?"
mdp.39015063746427	Could you describe him?
mdp.39015063746427	Could you tell me if they were plain, or colored?
mdp.39015063746427	Did Mr. Frederick Ingram ever threaten to make it unpleasant for Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	Did Mr. Ingram seem just as usual?
mdp.39015063746427	Did n't know I was here, did you?
mdp.39015063746427	Did she open the window?
mdp.39015063746427	Did you see his friend? mdp.39015063746427 Do I give a screech here and topple over, sir?"
mdp.39015063746427	Do n't you think yourself, chief inspector, that there's something odd about the affair?
mdp.39015063746427	Do you know if she had ever lent it before?
mdp.39015063746427	Do you mind telling me again just how it hap- pened?
mdp.39015063746427	Do you suppose I've endured what I have to be thwarted now — when the struggle is nearly over?
mdp.39015063746427	Do you think it's worth anything?
mdp.39015063746427	Do you want a standing opinion?
mdp.39015063746427	Do you want this robbery of yours mentioned at the inquest?
mdp.39015063746427	Does she know her?
mdp.39015063746427	Feeling ill?
mdp.39015063746427	Fred? mdp.39015063746427 Frederick Ingram?"
mdp.39015063746427	Frederick gone?
mdp.39015063746427	Gilmour out?
mdp.39015063746427	Had your talk with him yet?
mdp.39015063746427	Has Frederick Ingram spoken to you yet?
mdp.39015063746427	Has he any close relations?
mdp.39015063746427	Has he called since Mrs. Findlay had left?
mdp.39015063746427	Has she been searching the library too?
mdp.39015063746427	Have I been rude, Miss Pratt? mdp.39015063746427 Have n't you got any pride?"
mdp.39015063746427	Have you a candle and some wax?
mdp.39015063746427	Have you any objection to my opening your brother's will? mdp.39015063746427 Have you had any clues lately that Hell or Light or Claire would fit?"
mdp.39015063746427	Here in Bispham?
mdp.39015063746427	His purse or a five pound note, you mean? mdp.39015063746427 How about a Miss Longstaff who lives here?"
mdp.39015063746427	How about alibis? mdp.39015063746427 How about some friend who can tell me where to find her?"
mdp.39015063746427	How did it happen? mdp.39015063746427 How did it happen?"
mdp.39015063746427	How did she come to speak to you about me in the first place?
mdp.39015063746427	How do you know her name, and that she lived here?
mdp.39015063746427	How does one get newspaper work?
mdp.39015063746427	How much was it?
mdp.39015063746427	How will you let the ghost know of its danger beforehand?
mdp.39015063746427	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063746427	I mean, now, thinking back?
mdp.39015063746427	I suppose Gilmour put that second corrected sheet into the linen hamper himself, and then waited for Moy to think of looking there?
mdp.39015063746427	I suppose you're leaving, too?
mdp.39015063746427	I take it that my brother's papers — and keys — will be handed to me as soon as all the usual formalities have been complied with?
mdp.39015063746427	I understand that you borrowed a book from Mrs. Findlay,he went on,"how are you going to return it, if you do n't know her address?"
mdp.39015063746427	I was n't present when you found this?
mdp.39015063746427	I'm not interested, you see, in his estate,she said finally,"having no need of it""But the children?"
mdp.39015063746427	In what way?
mdp.39015063746427	Indeed?
mdp.39015063746427	Is Mr. Haliburton going with you?
mdp.39015063746427	Is anything wrong, sir?
mdp.39015063746427	Is he a dull old hack?
mdp.39015063746427	Is he a good shot?
mdp.39015063746427	Is it yours?
mdp.39015063746427	Is it? mdp.39015063746427 Is that agreed?"
mdp.39015063746427	Just what has happened?
mdp.39015063746427	Lawrence Gilmour? mdp.39015063746427 Look here, Mr. Ingram, did you ever speak of your brother's system to anyone?"
mdp.39015063746427	Look here, chief inspector,Moy broke out,"you do n't think there's anything wrong about this shooting, do you?
mdp.39015063746427	Look here,Moy began at once,"why make your- self conspicuous, old man?"
mdp.39015063746427	May I take this home and read it?
mdp.39015063746427	Miss Gray, is n't it? mdp.39015063746427 Miss Winifred Pratt?"
mdp.39015063746427	Mr. Appleton, why have you not told us that you walked back to The Tall House with Mr. Ingrain the night on which he was shot? mdp.39015063746427 Now tell me how you came to be down here, how you knew, after all, where to come?"
mdp.39015063746427	Now who exactly are the people in the house?
mdp.39015063746427	Oh, do you care too?
mdp.39015063746427	Oh, you're going to disappear?
mdp.39015063746427	Or what?
mdp.39015063746427	Shall I ask him to come down here?
mdp.39015063746427	She would n't be found drowned without them, would she?
mdp.39015063746427	She's the girl Gilmour is in love with, is n't she?
mdp.39015063746427	Sir Miles Huntington's?
mdp.39015063746427	So Frederick Ingram told you he suspected Gilmour of murder, did he?
mdp.39015063746427	Take sides?
mdp.39015063746427	Tark? mdp.39015063746427 That's just what you've maintained all along, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063746427	The absence of one worshiper among the multitude? mdp.39015063746427 The address of her cottage?"
mdp.39015063746427	The chief inspector? mdp.39015063746427 The keys?"
mdp.39015063746427	The room my brother used as a study is on this floor, is n't it?
mdp.39015063746427	Then the blind was up?
mdp.39015063746427	Then you did have your talk with Ingram?
mdp.39015063746427	They were friends, were n't they?
mdp.39015063746427	This is Mrs. Findlay, is n't it?
mdp.39015063746427	Two lines, not three?
mdp.39015063746427	Unless,Franklin's blue eyes darkened,"that pack- age contained something to do with counterfeit coining?
mdp.39015063746427	Waited for it, you think?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it suicide?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it the same young lady who drew the sheet out from under the body?
mdp.39015063746427	Was there any kind of bookmark in it?
mdp.39015063746427	Was there any? mdp.39015063746427 Was your fare any of these?"
mdp.39015063746427	Well, where are your eyes, chief inspector? mdp.39015063746427 Well,"Pointer said with carefully obvious patience,"as I understand it, Mr. Ingram, you have only sus- picions, nothing definite, to go on?
mdp.39015063746427	Well? mdp.39015063746427 Well?"
mdp.39015063746427	Well?
mdp.39015063746427	Well?
mdp.39015063746427	Well?
mdp.39015063746427	Well?
mdp.39015063746427	Were you ringing for her in there?
mdp.39015063746427	Were you there — when it happened?
mdp.39015063746427	What about Lawrence Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	What are you? mdp.39015063746427 What do his stockbrokers say?
mdp.39015063746427	What do you call this case — The Tall House puz- zle?
mdp.39015063746427	What do you guess?
mdp.39015063746427	What do you mean by big profits?
mdp.39015063746427	What do you mean by looking at me like that?
mdp.39015063746427	What exactly did you ask Mr. Ingram last night to burn?
mdp.39015063746427	What is it?
mdp.39015063746427	What makes you doubt it?
mdp.39015063746427	What motive do you intend to allege? mdp.39015063746427 What motive?"
mdp.39015063746427	What terms were he and his brother on?
mdp.39015063746427	What's that about Winnie? mdp.39015063746427 What's wrong with meeting a lovely young thing half way?
mdp.39015063746427	What?
mdp.39015063746427	When did you last see it in the corner? mdp.39015063746427 When had you written it?"
mdp.39015063746427	Where did he live?
mdp.39015063746427	Where did you first meet him?
mdp.39015063746427	Where was Gilmour supposed to be when he was murdering the old lady?
mdp.39015063746427	Where's the revolver?
mdp.39015063746427	Which of the people up at The Tall House strikes the oddest note? mdp.39015063746427 Who are you?
mdp.39015063746427	Who drew the sheet out from under the body?
mdp.39015063746427	Who else is staying in the house, Miss Longstaff?
mdp.39015063746427	Who says he's guilty?
mdp.39015063746427	Who's Mrs. Appleton, pray?
mdp.39015063746427	Whose was the memory that jogged yours?
mdp.39015063746427	Why did you leave me?
mdp.39015063746427	Why did you stop playing?
mdp.39015063746427	Why do n't you speak to him of your suspicions?
mdp.39015063746427	Why do one's relations always want to see one?
mdp.39015063746427	Why else did I go halves with you but because you blackmailed me into doing it?
mdp.39015063746427	Why this attitude then?
mdp.39015063746427	Why was it always sent in such a fantastic way?
mdp.39015063746427	Why were you hiding in this room?
mdp.39015063746427	Winnie, where are you? mdp.39015063746427 Would you let the woman you love think you a murderer?"
mdp.39015063746427	Would you like to have to sit down under a verdict| of Not Proven?
mdp.39015063746427	You a fatalist too?
mdp.39015063746427	You did n't see anything that bears out my fantastic idea?
mdp.39015063746427	You do n't mean a Mr. Nevern? mdp.39015063746427 You know that we-—my father's firm — often have houses to let for our clients?
mdp.39015063746427	You mean Miss Pratt?
mdp.39015063746427	You mean him as won all that money? mdp.39015063746427 You mean that you think Gilmour shot him inten- tionally?"
mdp.39015063746427	You mean, that you think she will?
mdp.39015063746427	You really think I had a conscious, intentional ham in that dreadful blunder?
mdp.39015063746427	You think Gilmour's lying, then?
mdp.39015063746427	You think the case can breathe by itself, that you wo n't have to stay to apply artificial respiration?
mdp.39015063746427	You're the police, are n't you? mdp.39015063746427 You've found another sheet?
mdp.39015063746427	You've never been here before, have you?
mdp.39015063746427	Your letter in here? mdp.39015063746427 'Big Profits probable, Small Loss possible'sort of thing?
mdp.39015063746427	... Could this system be linked with those quarterly thousand pound increases in his capital?
mdp.39015063746427	140 THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY this running man of yours and recognize him?
mdp.39015063746427	66 THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY be the scoop which you said would give me a post on your paper?"
mdp.39015063746427	78 THE TAIX HOUSE MYSTERY"I suppose he still has the weapon with which he claims that he fired the shot?"
mdp.39015063746427	<"No scorch marks on it?"
mdp.39015063746427	A later will cutting her out?
mdp.39015063746427	Also with a bullet hole through it?"
mdp.39015063746427	An editor?"
mdp.39015063746427	And a good shot when aiming a dummy cartridge at anyore would aim it true, would n't he?
mdp.39015063746427	And hunted for by several people?
mdp.39015063746427	And now, what about cock- tails?
mdp.39015063746427	And quick as quick she said'Epiphany will that fit?'
mdp.39015063746427	And what his number is? ” Moy reached for the directory.
mdp.39015063746427	And you say Fred Ingram was with her?
mdp.39015063746427	Anything possible in that line?"
mdp.39015063746427	Because Appleton would not meet him outside?
mdp.39015063746427	Besides, why should he?
mdp.39015063746427	Better than being in the basement, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063746427	But about this article in the paper,"Moy was thinking hard,"who on earth could have written it?"
mdp.39015063746427	But as to motive... no ideas at all? ”"I ca n't think of anything that will fit the case, sir.
mdp.39015063746427	But even if he suc- ceeded in doing this, or even if the police succeeded, could it be proved?
mdp.39015063746427	But how are you going to set about it?
mdp.39015063746427	But surely no one could even pretend that this was any- thing but a genuine accident?
mdp.39015063746427	But what have crosswords to do with your murder?"
mdp.39015063746427	But with no character that one could get hold of, how could one catch her wonderful charm?
mdp.39015063746427	But would n't you like to write in the lounge?
mdp.39015063746427	By the way, is n't he coming to stay here at the house too? ” “ Certainly not, ” was the instant rejoinder.
mdp.39015063746427	Could a man have a system at baccarat or chemin de fer?
mdp.39015063746427	Could anyone sup- pose it to be anything, but what it is, a bed on end?
mdp.39015063746427	Could he test the possibility that Ingram was a crossword writer in any way?
mdp.39015063746427	Could she be relied on?
mdp.39015063746427	Could the link be political as well, supposing it to exist, between Bulstrode and that quarterly thousand pounds?
mdp.39015063746427	Could the past give up its secrets in anything so difficult to prove, so swiftly accomplished?
mdp.39015063746427	Did he see the actual meeting between the passenger and the man on the pavement?
mdp.39015063746427	Did you ask him what the papers were? ” “ Certainly not. ” Appleton looked surprised at the question.
mdp.39015063746427	Did you bring it down here, or do you think one of the maids carried it downstairs from your bedroom?"
mdp.39015063746427	Did you think Miss Pratt and I were eloping, and he would want to be the third?"
mdp.39015063746427	Do you know where they're kept?"
mdp.39015063746427	Do you mean she won a crossword prize and he killed her just for that?"
mdp.39015063746427	Do you mind if I let the chief inspector here see it at once?"
mdp.39015063746427	Findlay?"
mdp.39015063746427	For a second she stood pressing her lips together, then she said slowly:"Does Mr. Haliburton strike you as a man of un- limited patience?
mdp.39015063746427	For one thing Miss Longstaff looked clever, he thought, also discontented — or was it merely dissatis- fied?
mdp.39015063746427	Fred Ingram or this Tark?"
mdp.39015063746427	Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	Gilmour?"
mdp.39015063746427	God, where's the switch?"
mdp.39015063746427	Got that clear?"
mdp.39015063746427	Had Ingram intended this?
mdp.39015063746427	Had he reason to suspect that his life was in danger?
mdp.39015063746427	Had he sold the original system for a quarterly pension?
mdp.39015063746427	Had she had no'phone calls at all before?
mdp.39015063746427	Had she stuffed him with any story just to get him into a confidential mood, into a frame of mind to exchange his confidence for her rubbish?
mdp.39015063746427	Haliburton?
mdp.39015063746427	Have the police been notified, sir?"
mdp.39015063746427	Have you found out any peculiar- ities?
mdp.39015063746427	Have you missed me, too?"
mdp.39015063746427	Have you seen them both?"
mdp.39015063746427	Have you told the police about it?"
mdp.39015063746427	He heard Gilmour's voice, but speaking very, very quietly, as though anxious not to be overheard, saying:"That you, Moy?
mdp.39015063746427	He is n't here, surely? ” Tark did not reply.
mdp.39015063746427	His account of the letter left with him for her account of a mysterious terror on the part of Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	Horses?"
mdp.39015063746427	How are they linked? ”"I hope you wo n't press that question, sir.
mdp.39015063746427	How can you hope to solve this puzzle?"
mdp.39015063746427	How did Ingram manage to change the eight thousand odd his father left him, after death duties were paid, into thirty thousand odd?
mdp.39015063746427	How did he win his money?
mdp.39015063746427	How did it come into your hands?"
mdp.39015063746427	How did peo- ple receive their money, if they won one of the Weekly Universe three- thousand- pound prizes?
mdp.39015063746427	How do you propose to seep through the cilia, Pointer? ” “ Well, sir, it sounds rather odd.
mdp.39015063746427	How was I to guess the truth that Appleton was the real murderer?"
mdp.39015063746427	How would this Alfreda and the lovely Winnie get on together?
mdp.39015063746427	However, per- haps you'll give me just a notion of what your merry men will be at?"
mdp.39015063746427	I mean, when you fired? ” The solicitor in Moy was seeking data, but Halibur- ton touched him on the shoulder.
mdp.39015063746427	If he thought he was firing blank?"
mdp.39015063746427	If not, for what purpose had that istute young woman told him it?
mdp.39015063746427	Ingram?"
mdp.39015063746427	Is he- is he- much disfigured? ” 100 THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY Moy told her that the body was not in the house.
mdp.39015063746427	Is n't it possible the maid was slovenly, and did n't make the bed properly?"
mdp.39015063746427	Is n't it splendid, Basil?"
mdp.39015063746427	Jaundiced Unfair?
mdp.39015063746427	Just in case history should repeat itself, eh?
mdp.39015063746427	Look here, if Gilmour were innocent would n't she be the first to feel it?
mdp.39015063746427	Look here, why 178 THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY not take me in as a helper?
mdp.39015063746427	May I ask why?"
mdp.39015063746427	May I ask you why you thought he might be coming with me?
mdp.39015063746427	Mr. Ingram and Mr. Gilmour too?
mdp.39015063746427	No dwarfs wanted, nor giants, nor very thin people..."“ What in the name of Minerva are you up to? ” the A. C. asked.
mdp.39015063746427	No past quarrels, for instance, overheard by you?"
mdp.39015063746427	Now then, what about the offer in writing for which I'm here, to be left behind when we set off for foreign parts?
mdp.39015063746427	Now what about finishing the round?"
mdp.39015063746427	On what dark trail?
mdp.39015063746427	Or did he?
mdp.39015063746427	Or do they all match each other?"
mdp.39015063746427	Or from Scotland Yard?"
mdp.39015063746427	Or had Tark intelligence?
mdp.39015063746427	Pel- ham persisted,"he hardly strolled across London wear- ing that when he became Mr. Nevern, did he?"
mdp.39015063746427	Pointer said equably, and yet as one pleased ivith a pupil,"and where was it afore?"
mdp.39015063746427	Racing?
mdp.39015063746427	Ryland spelled it with one"t"in his interest,"the Beauty?
mdp.39015063746427	Say he had the real thing, and was only pretending that he had been taken in by a worthless dud?
mdp.39015063746427	She's not everybody's fancy, is she?
mdp.39015063746427	Should the worst come, as it may, after that article, will you act as my solicitor?"
mdp.39015063746427	So if you really wo n't stop and have a drink?
mdp.39015063746427	Some distant business house?
mdp.39015063746427	Someone who wanted to stop Frederick's search?
mdp.39015063746427	Still rigid with bewilderment, he heard a sort of sob- bing falsetto:"Where's the light?
mdp.39015063746427	Suppose we have 18 THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY a look at the malmaisons?"
mdp.39015063746427	Supposing Mr. Ingram's death was not accident, ca n't you suggest anything, Mr. Appleton, which might have been a motive for his mur- der?"
mdp.39015063746427	THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY 235"Where's she now?"
mdp.39015063746427	TWO"Why do you dislike me so?"
mdp.39015063746427	Tark?"
mdp.39015063746427	That Mr. Gilmour's story ca n't be true?"
mdp.39015063746427	That all right?
mdp.39015063746427	That it, in a nutshell?"
mdp.39015063746427	The cartridge was loaded — not blank. ” “ But what was he doing? ” she asked, as though groping in a mist.
mdp.39015063746427	The inner secret pocket with its THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY 175 they but shattered bits of many circles?
mdp.39015063746427	The man on the pavement?"
mdp.39015063746427	The presence in the house of the lovely Miss Pratt, did that stand for anything?
mdp.39015063746427	Then how, in a play, to make it clear why two sensible young men were ready to count a day well lost if it brought them but one smile from her?
mdp.39015063746427	Therefore someone who knew both of that hunt's purpose and of the existence of such a paper among Ingram's effects?
mdp.39015063746427	They were expensive, and what was the use — at Bispham?
mdp.39015063746427	Those burned papers in the library fireplace, were they the result of this talk?
mdp.39015063746427	To whom the acci- dent has happened?"
mdp.39015063746427	Was Frederick Ingram by playing it, try- ing to place a shield between himself and any suspicion?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it for them that some- one had searched the room this morning before the police arrived and was it for them that Mrs. Appleton was looking?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it likely that Ingram the careful would have left such a paper lying in a book?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it love defending, or its opposite suggesting?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it merely because of the offer of a permanent post on the paper that she had come forward or was there some other sharper spur?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it murder? ” She drew a deep breath and looked at him with that odd, unreadable stare of hers.
mdp.39015063746427	Was it possible that Gilmour's distrust of her was based on some real foundation?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it possible that this was a crime on Gilmour's part?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it sent them by check in the usual way on Settling Day — or paid in by half- crowns?"
mdp.39015063746427	Was it usual for Mr. Ingram not to let him come up to him?
mdp.39015063746427	Was it vengeance for the dead, or against the living?
mdp.39015063746427	Was she all wrong?
mdp.39015063746427	Was she in the crime itself, if a crime had been committed here?
mdp.39015063746427	Was something about; o happen which she wished to be able to attribute to she woman with the floating veil?
mdp.39015063746427	Was that because he had to?
mdp.39015063746427	Was this really just a silly girl defending a man in peril?
mdp.39015063746427	Was this what was being hunted for?
mdp.39015063746427	Were you here when it was drawn out from underneath?"
mdp.39015063746427	What could Alfreda Longstaff know?
mdp.39015063746427	What could that be?
mdp.39015063746427	What do they say about the thousand pounds a quarter?
mdp.39015063746427	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063746427	What do you want to speak to him about?
mdp.39015063746427	What if the lights refuse to go up, and the audience laughs instead?
mdp.39015063746427	What on earth has happened?"
mdp.39015063746427	What was Frederick Ingram doing in there with Alfreda Longstaff?
mdp.39015063746427	What was she going to do?
mdp.39015063746427	What was she looking for?
mdp.39015063746427	What was the woman after?
mdp.39015063746427	What work would bring in four thousand a year without spreading the author's name abroad?
mdp.39015063746427	What's her name?"
mdp.39015063746427	What's your position going to be at it?"
mdp.39015063746427	When he had done she asked:"Where is Mr. Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	When this month THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY 55 is up, Winnie"—he had never called her by her first name before—"how are you going to choose?"
mdp.39015063746427	Where did Mr. Ingram usually keep his waistcoat?
mdp.39015063746427	Where exactly had this meeting taken place?
mdp.39015063746427	Where is she?
mdp.39015063746427	Where lay the key to the motive for this murder — if it had been one?
mdp.39015063746427	Where was Appleton, by the way?
mdp.39015063746427	Where was Gilmour?
mdp.39015063746427	Where was Ingram?
mdp.39015063746427	Where was that luggage?
mdp.39015063746427	Where's a doctor?
mdp.39015063746427	Which would Winnie Pratt take?
mdp.39015063746427	Who are they?"
mdp.39015063746427	Who better than he would know Ingram's writing?
mdp.39015063746427	Who could have forged the paper, if it was a forgery, as he assumed it to be?
mdp.39015063746427	Who knows one?
mdp.39015063746427	Who shot him?"
mdp.39015063746427	Who's more able to than the man on the spot?
mdp.39015063746427	Whom would she choose?
mdp.39015063746427	Why did this girl believe, or pretend to believe, that the latter had killed the other?
mdp.39015063746427	Why had she volunteered to give the information in the first place?
mdp.39015063746427	Why should n't I?"
mdp.39015063746427	Why should she?"
mdp.39015063746427	Will you have them in here or in the garden?"
mdp.39015063746427	Will you marry me, darling?"
mdp.39015063746427	Would n't you?"
mdp.39015063746427	You do n't sup- pose Chief Inspector Pointer overlooks any mouse- hole, THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY 129 do you?
mdp.39015063746427	You think he was someone staying in the house?"
mdp.39015063746427	any place near by?"
mdp.39015063746427	broke in Tark,"why not Thursday or Saturday?"
mdp.39015063746427	but was there anv THE TALL HOUSE MYSTERY 241 ruth in that story?
mdp.39015063746427	iVould his guess prove right?
mdp.39015063746427	is it possible we have here that never- yet- seen- in- the- flesh character, the gambler with a certain System which consistently wins?"
mdp.39015063746427	quarter day was a week ago; the thou- sand had always been invested shortly after quarter day, would it again come to hand now that he was dead?
mdp.39015063746427	she asked sharply,"have I the promise of a post on the paper if I can prove what I claim?
mdp.39015063746427	some foreign power?
mdp.39015063746427	the something he sealed, you think?
mdp.39015063746427	then why had this young woman'phoned as she had done?
mdp.39015063746427	what is his first name, do you know?"
mdp.39015063746427	what more could any future dramatist hope to find laid out before him?
mdp.39015063746427	what was he saying?
mdp.39015063746427	where we ought to look for the criminal if there is one?"
mdp.39015063746427	“ But how did it happen?
mdp.39015063746427	“ Can I see him?
mdp.39015063746427	“ Charles? ” she said in a tone of utter bewilderment.
mdp.39015063746427	“ Disappearances and Ingram's death?
mdp.39015063746427	“ Testing a theory...?
mdp.39015063746427	“ Think so?
mdp.39015063746427	“ Who shot him? ” she persisted.
mdp.39015063746427	“ Why?
mdp.39015063916616	Am I being — disciplined? mdp.39015063916616 And John Bray ton, who loaned you his seersucker jacket — did he approve?"
mdp.39015063916616	And Mr. John Bray ton came there?
mdp.39015063916616	And did you have on this delphinium blue cotton suit and de- mure white blouse and simple strand of pearls that morning, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	And did you pry around in the Brayton house, as I believe has been suggested, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	And did you sound your horn?
mdp.39015063916616	And he paid yours?
mdp.39015063916616	And is there a later entry of that kind, calling for that costume?
mdp.39015063916616	And it is Miss O'Keefe, is n't it? mdp.39015063916616 And it was in the disguise of a female sitter that you were able to accomplish these things?
mdp.39015063916616	And not a damned fool either — or are you?
mdp.39015063916616	And spent the night in a cell there?
mdp.39015063916616	And the Hay Ride Club, Miss O'Keefe — was that a client?
mdp.39015063916616	And they informed you why the body was to be held?
mdp.39015063916616	And were fined ten dollars and costs in the Court there the next morning? mdp.39015063916616 And what did he do?"
mdp.39015063916616	And what did you do?
mdp.39015063916616	And who buys the coffee?
mdp.39015063916616	And you did not enjoy it, did you, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	And you hated yourself, and you hated the Braytons — did you not?
mdp.39015063916616	And you sat there for how long?
mdp.39015063916616	And you saw him come out of the house, some time later?
mdp.39015063916616	And you say you've known him about a year?
mdp.39015063916616	And you were furious, were n't you?
mdp.39015063916616	And you were instrumental in the success of that operation, were you not?
mdp.39015063916616	And you were n't really sure you'd heard it at all, were you, Miss O'Keefe? mdp.39015063916616 And you're not quite sure I did n't, are you?
mdp.39015063916616	And your parents, Miss O'Keefe? mdp.39015063916616 As the legal representative of the proprietors of the Mimosa Club, to pay the fines for the entertainers who were taken in the raid?"
mdp.39015063916616	Asking me what?
mdp.39015063916616	Assigned to the Rackets Division?
mdp.39015063916616	At the Mimosa Club?
mdp.39015063916616	Because he did n't like it?
mdp.39015063916616	Because it was felt you insisted on running things? mdp.39015063916616 Because you wanted to marry John Brayton, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	But it was you, Miss O'Keefe, who spotted the existence, and the location, of this three- million dollar a year station, was it not?
mdp.39015063916616	But would it have made any difference in your answer?
mdp.39015063916616	But you got to the house ahead of him?
mdp.39015063916616	But you were n't rushing up and down avidly yelling Murder, were you? mdp.39015063916616 But you're not sorry, are you?"
mdp.39015063916616	Can I come in a minute?
mdp.39015063916616	Can we run this off in private? mdp.39015063916616 Could n't you get a warrant?"
mdp.39015063916616	Could you tell where this presumed shot came from, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Deliberately, of your own free will and volition, as we say?
mdp.39015063916616	Did you figure something, Kerry?
mdp.39015063916616	Did you find evidence of a second shot?
mdp.39015063916616	Disgracing the Family, eh?
mdp.39015063916616	Do n't you think it would be a good idea to check the back doors?
mdp.39015063916616	Do n't you think it's odd about the sirens?
mdp.39015063916616	Do n't you think you and the Inspector and the sergeant in charge of the Gun Shop are rather wasting your time, Doctor? mdp.39015063916616 Do we have to begin this stuff all over again —""You mean the stuff about finding out who killed your father?"
mdp.39015063916616	Do what? mdp.39015063916616 Do you know The Block, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	Do you know how to use it?
mdp.39015063916616	Do you recall the precise date you met him?
mdp.39015063916616	Fairly intimately, would you say?
mdp.39015063916616	For God's sake — what do you think you're trying to prove?
mdp.39015063916616	For what would commonly be called undercover work?
mdp.39015063916616	From whom is the letter, and to whom?
mdp.39015063916616	He has only ordinary hearing.—Or was there considerable traffic?
mdp.39015063916616	He loaned you his grey and white cotton seersucker jacket?
mdp.39015063916616	He published them, not you? mdp.39015063916616 Hey, what's the matter?"
mdp.39015063916616	How did I know it was n't them behind it? mdp.39015063916616 How long have you been intimate with John Bray ton, Miss Kerry O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	How long's it going to take you to pack?
mdp.39015063916616	How long, Dave?
mdp.39015063916616	How say you, Are you guilty of the matter wherein you stand indicted or not guilty?
mdp.39015063916616	I do not wonder that the State's Attorney passed so quickly on, evading the question What was your unofficial business there? mdp.39015063916616 I got a friend says you haunt the alleys looking for the blonde —""May I have a touch more bourbon, Pierce?"
mdp.39015063916616	I wonder if you're up to just one more? mdp.39015063916616 If I am not mistaken, did n't you announce a glorious plan for giving a very large sum of money to a local hospital?"
mdp.39015063916616	In another courtroom?
mdp.39015063916616	In the Women's Court at the Pine Street Police Station?
mdp.39015063916616	Is it over?
mdp.39015063916616	Is n't your father a doctor? mdp.39015063916616 Is there a date on this letter, Lieutenant?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is there a new assignment?
mdp.39015063916616	Is this that book, Lieutenant?
mdp.39015063916616	It is your picture, is it not, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	It is your picture, is it not?
mdp.39015063916616	It was Sunday morning the 25th of July of last year, was it not?
mdp.39015063916616	It was different?
mdp.39015063916616	It's surprising the different kinds of people interested in the houses, is n't it?
mdp.39015063916616	It's the science of the meaning of words, is n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063916616	Just one time? mdp.39015063916616 Kerry — what's this?"
mdp.39015063916616	Kerry,the first one said,"how can I ask a voice on a tape recording that's pretending it's another girl to marry me?
mdp.39015063916616	Kerry?
mdp.39015063916616	Ma?
mdp.39015063916616	Many times?
mdp.39015063916616	Miss O'Keefe? mdp.39015063916616 Mrs. Rich witch, you mean?"
mdp.39015063916616	Not leaving us, are you?
mdp.39015063916616	Not when the guy's begging you to marry him?
mdp.39015063916616	Now what's the trouble?
mdp.39015063916616	Okay if I get this? mdp.39015063916616 Parked in front of his house?"
mdp.39015063916616	Polly, would you think I was a dog if I just slipped around the back way upstairs? mdp.39015063916616 Resigned, or been fired?"
mdp.39015063916616	See that splotch of fungus on the oak? mdp.39015063916616 Sit down, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	So that that constituted positive proof that death was not self- inflicted? mdp.39015063916616 So you had many other opportunities to make a living?"
mdp.39015063916616	So you were n't very much interested, really, were you, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Stick it in a bag, will you?
mdp.39015063916616	Stuffy, you mean?
mdp.39015063916616	Surely you did n't leave the Pine Street Police Station on Sunday morning in a red evening dress, did you, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	That woman, Johnny... what did she say to your father?
mdp.39015063916616	That's plenty from you, young woman.—And how did you know? mdp.39015063916616 That?
mdp.39015063916616	The morning after the raid on the Mimosa Club in what is known in Baltimore City as'The Block'?
mdp.39015063916616	Then what's your phone number?
mdp.39015063916616	Then you invented it four days later, deliberately and mali- ciously?
mdp.39015063916616	There was no doubt in your mind that it was a shot, not a car backfiring?
mdp.39015063916616	They are your own?
mdp.39015063916616	This the confession?
mdp.39015063916616	Was he standing there eagerly in the rain, waiting for you, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Was it blonde? mdp.39015063916616 Was your hair black at that time, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	What about a quick snort with me on the third floor?
mdp.39015063916616	What did you do, Dave?
mdp.39015063916616	What did you do, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	What did you tell him?
mdp.39015063916616	What do you mean by'not exactly'?
mdp.39015063916616	What do you want? mdp.39015063916616 What for?
mdp.39015063916616	What good's it going to do to tell him? mdp.39015063916616 What was that, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063916616	What's hap- pened to her project? mdp.39015063916616 What's the matter, Kerry?
mdp.39015063916616	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063916616	What's — where are you, Kerry?
mdp.39015063916616	What've they done to you, Johnny?
mdp.39015063916616	Where did you park?
mdp.39015063916616	Where else would I have gone? mdp.39015063916616 Where'd you learn to shoot, pardner?"
mdp.39015063916616	Where's Lolly?
mdp.39015063916616	Where's Ma?
mdp.39015063916616	Who introduced you, Miss O'Keefe? mdp.39015063916616 Who's Enoch Chew?"
mdp.39015063916616	Who's the decorator?
mdp.39015063916616	Whose jacket?
mdp.39015063916616	Why bother the poor old lady?
mdp.39015063916616	Why did n't you call the police?
mdp.39015063916616	Why did you do that? mdp.39015063916616 Why do n't we all go in?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why do n't you go down to Central Headquarters? mdp.39015063916616 Why not?
mdp.39015063916616	Why not?
mdp.39015063916616	Why were you there, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Why, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Why?
mdp.39015063916616	Will you marry me, Kerry? mdp.39015063916616 Would n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You a comedian, Mac?
mdp.39015063916616	You are coming now to what you referred to as inference, I take it, Doctor?
mdp.39015063916616	You can see him now? mdp.39015063916616 You could n't have been mistaken?"
mdp.39015063916616	You did meet him, did you?
mdp.39015063916616	You do n't do nothin'but plead'em guilty, pay the fines an'get'em out, see? mdp.39015063916616 You got O'Brien's, report there?"
mdp.39015063916616	You got a drink anywhere?
mdp.39015063916616	You got it, Mac, ai n't you? mdp.39015063916616 You have n't been sick, have you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You knew Dr. Brayton's great interest in medical education, did you not?
mdp.39015063916616	You met John Brayton in another courtroom, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	You packing too?
mdp.39015063916616	You stayed in your car?
mdp.39015063916616	You were working there the night of July 24th?
mdp.39015063916616	You would n't like to let me know when she does come, would you?
mdp.39015063916616	You'd found a place to park right across the plaza from his house?
mdp.39015063916616	You'd known him before, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	You're familiar with guns, Miss O'Keefe? mdp.39015063916616 You've never been abroad, have you, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	You've worked there, have you not?
mdp.39015063916616	You? mdp.39015063916616 — Can anybody get in?"
mdp.39015063916616	— If you got this through your conservatory window?
mdp.39015063916616	— Is this true, Johnny? mdp.39015063916616 — What's happened, Miss Brayton?
mdp.39015063916616	— Which, I suggest, was the reason, and the sole reason, that Dr. Brayton was coming to spend a week with you? mdp.39015063916616 — You the kid Grimes sent to spring the Mimosa gang?"
mdp.39015063916616	'Offensive'was the word you used?"
mdp.39015063916616	.?"
mdp.39015063916616	///"You had just met him that morning, in the courtroom?"
mdp.39015063916616	110"You were arrested there and taken to the Pine Street Police Station?
mdp.39015063916616	119"Had you ever been in his house, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	23"When'll you be back?"
mdp.39015063916616	722"Why did you do that?"
mdp.39015063916616	A martini?"
mdp.39015063916616	A very well- known one?"
mdp.39015063916616	And did you make your presence known to any member of the Brayton family, or any of the hostesses assisting them?"
mdp.39015063916616	And what happened to the glor- ious plan?"
mdp.39015063916616	And why am I trying?
mdp.39015063916616	And you had known John Brayton for nine months and eighteen days?
mdp.39015063916616	And you were very pleased with yourself, were n't you, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	Are they creative, imaginative fiction?"
mdp.39015063916616	Are they the product of the dye- pot too?"
mdp.39015063916616	Are you an expert?"
mdp.39015063916616	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063916616	Because you did n't say so, did you?
mdp.39015063916616	Bleached blonde?"
mdp.39015063916616	Brayton?"
mdp.39015063916616	But I did n't want him to get curious and ask about me.—Coffee?"
mdp.39015063916616	But you did n't see anyone come out or call for help, did you?"
mdp.39015063916616	Ca n't you see what you're doing?
mdp.39015063916616	Can you send somebody for him?"
mdp.39015063916616	Did I?
mdp.39015063916616	Did he or did he not?"
mdp.39015063916616	Did you call her?"
mdp.39015063916616	Did you go to his house and ring the doorbell, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	Did you just walk off with his jacket?"
mdp.39015063916616	Did you say you heard one shot?
mdp.39015063916616	Did you?"
mdp.39015063916616	Do you recall that, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Do you want an open scandal to ruin that?
mdp.39015063916616	Do you want me to call for help?
mdp.39015063916616	Do your par- ents approve?"
mdp.39015063916616	Fired?"
mdp.39015063916616	For God's sake, what is it?"
mdp.39015063916616	For disorderly conduct?"
mdp.39015063916616	Got a gun?"
mdp.39015063916616	He was left- handed, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063916616	He went to your apartment with you, did he not?"
mdp.39015063916616	Her brother running with jailbirds?
mdp.39015063916616	How could n't she be?
mdp.39015063916616	How long had you been engaged to marry him?"
mdp.39015063916616	How long have you known John Brayton?"
mdp.39015063916616	How long was that?"
mdp.39015063916616	How many times, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	How much was I getting?
mdp.39015063916616	I keep figurin'why should I sit here on this fancy street, nobody speaking to me, when I should go places and do things?
mdp.39015063916616	I —""Would you tell me, Mrs. Bray ton, just what in hell — excuse me — just what you thought you were doing?
mdp.39015063916616	I'm asking you again — will you marry me, Kerry?
mdp.39015063916616	I'm going to —""You are going to marry her?"
mdp.39015063916616	In July?
mdp.39015063916616	In short that it was murder?
mdp.39015063916616	Is it customary for you to take men from the Police Court home to your apartment?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is it ro- mance?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is my father home?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is n't that correct?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is that agreeable to you, Mr. Bray ton?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is that correct, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is that true, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is that view of what you did correct, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	Is this the girl you go to see?
mdp.39015063916616	Is this the girl you've fallen in love with?"
mdp.39015063916616	It is quite clear there is no evidence of a second shot, is it not?"
mdp.39015063916616	It was a crack, but who cared, with the promised week so blithe a thing?
mdp.39015063916616	It was a library, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063916616	It was raining, and miserably raw, that Friday night, was n't it, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	It was that night you invented it, was it not?
mdp.39015063916616	It's my job.—How wrong can you be?
mdp.39015063916616	It's what you thought and what you said, is it not?"
mdp.39015063916616	Just get'em out and stick around till I shove'em in taxis, see?
mdp.39015063916616	Jut what did you do?"
mdp.39015063916616	Let him break his heart and break your own?
mdp.39015063916616	Let's hurry, shall we?"
mdp.39015063916616	May I assist you down the stairs first, ma'am?"
mdp.39015063916616	May I use the phone in your husband's study?"
mdp.39015063916616	Miss Kerry O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Most unhappy. — Or were you happy?"
mdp.39015063916616	Mr. John Brayton never called you Officer O'Keefe, did he?"
mdp.39015063916616	No crackin'wise in there, see?"
mdp.39015063916616	Not soluble even in aqua regis... What did he mean?
mdp.39015063916616	Not suicide but murder?
mdp.39015063916616	Now shut up, will you?
mdp.39015063916616	O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	On what?
mdp.39015063916616	Or are you dead on your feet, poor child?"
mdp.39015063916616	Or both?"
mdp.39015063916616	Or did it take you that long to find out what a very substantial catch you'd managed to make for yourself?
mdp.39015063916616	Or do n't you call it working for him representing him in court?
mdp.39015063916616	Or do you?"
mdp.39015063916616	Or excluded?
mdp.39015063916616	Or have you noticed, darling?"
mdp.39015063916616	Or what was the reason?"
mdp.39015063916616	Quick an* easy, see?
mdp.39015063916616	Quit my job and get one in a department store to pay the rent and help feed us?
mdp.39015063916616	She knew what he was doing, actually — needling her, not to make her them to drag you to jail again, for the love of God?
mdp.39015063916616	She's an entertainer some place, is n't she?
mdp.39015063916616	So bear with us, please, Miss O'Keefe.—In spite of the Brayton family's opposi- tion, you did accept their son's proposal of marriage?"
mdp.39015063916616	So do you mind?
mdp.39015063916616	So let's skip it, shall we?
mdp.39015063916616	So what am I to do?
mdp.39015063916616	So what?
mdp.39015063916616	That fair?"
mdp.39015063916616	That someone else had fired the death shot or shots?
mdp.39015063916616	That was Mr. John Brayton's grandmother, was it not?"
mdp.39015063916616	That's a fact, is it not?"
mdp.39015063916616	That's correct, is it not, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	That's the truth, is n't it, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	That's what vulgarians like myself would call the cop on the beat, is it not, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	The Women's Police Station?"
mdp.39015063916616	The golden peace was there again, until he released her and said,"What did happen last night?"
mdp.39015063916616	The top one in the center?"
mdp.39015063916616	Then he smiled gravely and said,"Miss O'Keefe, may I offer you my coat?"
mdp.39015063916616	Then when he was paying for the paper he heard himself saying,"You do n't happen to have any cream, do you?"
mdp.39015063916616	They ai n't pullin'nothin'on her like they would on a man, see?
mdp.39015063916616	This ut- terly disgraceful performance... in the name of gracious heaven what was she thinking of?
mdp.39015063916616	Trying to scare me?"
mdp.39015063916616	Vernon Place after the tragic incident at the Hay Ride Club?"
mdp.39015063916616	Vernon Place?"
mdp.39015063916616	Was it like the first?"
mdp.39015063916616	Was that the first thing that disturbed her?
mdp.39015063916616	Were n't you in love with him?
mdp.39015063916616	Were you afraid of being shot?"
mdp.39015063916616	Were you just trying to get yourself stuck in this new gas chamber we're going to have?"
mdp.39015063916616	Were you or were you not sitting in your car, Miss O'Keefe?
mdp.39015063916616	Were you taken to his house at that time?"
mdp.39015063916616	What about Gino's?
mdp.39015063916616	What about the night of May 1st?"
mdp.39015063916616	What am I supposed to do — starve till July?"
mdp.39015063916616	What are you going to do, Kerry?
mdp.39015063916616	What can I do?
mdp.39015063916616	What did they do, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	What did you do?"
mdp.39015063916616	What did you see?"
mdp.39015063916616	What do you think about her?"
mdp.39015063916616	What do you think he and his family are going to do?
mdp.39015063916616	What goes on?"
mdp.39015063916616	What if I'd seen her?
mdp.39015063916616	What if I'd told her?
mdp.39015063916616	What if I'd told him?
mdp.39015063916616	What if his grand- mother's there?
mdp.39015063916616	What in God's name does she think she's doing, just trying to be convicted of murder?
mdp.39015063916616	What is it I'm doing?
mdp.39015063916616	What is she, one of these sitters they got the heat on in the clean- up drive they making all the stink about?"
mdp.39015063916616	What the hell do I get?
mdp.39015063916616	What time did you get there?"
mdp.39015063916616	What was he doing?
mdp.39015063916616	What was the object of your being there?"
mdp.39015063916616	What were they?"
mdp.39015063916616	What'd you want to drag one of Solly Herman's law boys back home with you for?"
mdp.39015063916616	What's your family going to say?"
mdp.39015063916616	When Grimes left he said what about coming to the Coast when my year's up?
mdp.39015063916616	When was that?"
mdp.39015063916616	Where's your tape recorder?
mdp.39015063916616	Which is it, Johnny?"
mdp.39015063916616	Whistling in the dark?
mdp.39015063916616	Who introduced you?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why did n't you go to his house and ring his door bell?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why do n't I send her there?
mdp.39015063916616	Why do n't you kids relax a little?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why do n't you slip out for a slug?
mdp.39015063916616	Why not send her to Pine Street on regular duty?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why not?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why was there this delay?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why were you there?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why... do you do it?"
mdp.39015063916616	Why?
mdp.39015063916616	Would that be respectable enough to suit you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You are a member of the Baltimore City Police Department, are you not, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	You are in fact a college graduate, are you not?"
mdp.39015063916616	You been away?"
mdp.39015063916616	You did choose it, did you not?"
mdp.39015063916616	You did n't want me to come, did you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You did want to marry him?"
mdp.39015063916616	You do love me, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You going to kick it in the teeth?
mdp.39015063916616	You got back in your car, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You got it, ai n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You know what semantics is?
mdp.39015063916616	You surely did n't go in without a ticket, did you, my dear?"
mdp.39015063916616	You want to let him go on thinking you're a lousy tramp?"
mdp.39015063916616	You were ashamed, really, were n't you?
mdp.39015063916616	You're driving, are n't you?
mdp.39015063916616	You're from the Central Committee, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You're just so damned tough, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063916616	You're not leaving tonight?"
mdp.39015063916616	You've got to quit —""We said we'd skip that, did n't we?"
mdp.39015063916616	Your what?"
mdp.39015063916616	anybody home?"
mdp.39015063916616	are you living with her?"
mdp.39015063916616	ask Madam if she's ready, will you?"
mdp.39015063916616	but next week, Johnny?
mdp.39015063916616	could I tell him I'm going?"
mdp.39015063916616	did you?"
mdp.39015063916616	except that you were standing, Miss O'Keefe — leaning over the bar, were you not?"
mdp.39015063916616	let's say?
mdp.39015063916616	profession, Miss O'Keefe?"
mdp.39015063916616	tell him?"
mdp.39015063916616	the Doctor was left- handed, was he?"
mdp.39015063916616	was it not?"
mdp.39015063916616	what's the matter?
mdp.39015063916616	when was it?"
mdp.39015063916616	where's your coat?
mdp.39015063916616	why would he do it, ma'am?
mdp.39015063941515	'"Tit- for?"
mdp.39015063941515	''Oo's itchew want?'
mdp.39015063941515	'A cast?
mdp.39015063941515	'Am I right in thinking he was an art- dealer or something of the sort?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Am I to infer from that that I'm somehow suspect?'
mdp.39015063941515	'And they were all good friends together?'
mdp.39015063941515	'And what's that?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Any of the servants under notice, or with a griev- ance?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Any restriction as to the size offish one takes from the brook?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Anybody could have got at the cartridges?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Are the prints near the muzzle the only ones you can identify as Wakeling's?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Brainy?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Brave?'
mdp.39015063941515	'But ACCIDENT OR?
mdp.39015063941515	'But could it have been done that way?'
mdp.39015063941515	'But do n't you find it lonely at nights with nobody else in the building?'
mdp.39015063941515	'But if he does not arrive until we have gone, Archie,'his wife said after a long pause,'how will you get whatever he brings you?'
mdp.39015063941515	'But the drains do n't run through the cellar, do they?'
mdp.39015063941515	'But what's it all leading up to, Burford?'
mdp.39015063941515	'But you did n't get one?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Can I help you — find a strip of glass or something?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Can you reach the switch, Superintendent?
mdp.39015063941515	'Can you see the gleam on the joist end?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Conceited?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Could n't some opening and shutting of the door have worked the gun into the position we saw it in?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Could you tell me exactly where you were then?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Crowther alone would do, surely, Chief?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did Wakeling commit suicide?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did it sound much of a bang?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did n't I tell you?
mdp.39015063941515	'Did you get Mrs Cayne's prints?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did you recognize it as a gun going off?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did you use it?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did you, by any chance, take a cartridge out last evening when cleaning the gun, and perhaps without thinking put it back when finished?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Did your disastrous trip to Holland leave you with any money?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do many of the household come into the cellar?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do n't you think Kyle maybe picked up a loop, or something, that Wakeling used to fire the gun?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you always switch on the light when you come into the cellar?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you happen to know of anyone in the house likely to benefit by Wakeling's death?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you happen to know their number?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you look after all the offices here?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you read the papers, Mr Gibson?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you remember him coming back full of the case of Mrs Wakeling?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you remember him in this room after his return discussing the case with Mr Kyle?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you remember the return of Mr Luke from his Christmas vacation?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you think there's a case?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you think you could — it seems a shame to — to?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Do you, Groves?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Does n't your powder stuff bring up any prints?'
mdp.39015063941515	'El senor Detective- Inspector Archibald Burford?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Ever read Tom Sawyer, Inspector?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Ever try gut- substitute?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Financially, do you mean?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Five days?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Found anything, Burford — hey?
mdp.39015063941515	'Have a cup, sir?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Have you ever seen that writing before, Flora?'
mdp.39015063941515	'He would have been glad to see her marry you, for example?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Hey?
mdp.39015063941515	'How came the gun to be left loaded like that?'
mdp.39015063941515	'How do you mean?'
mdp.39015063941515	'How far up the stream did you go fishing this morning?'
mdp.39015063941515	'I borrowed the box from Griffiths,'he explained,'and got the cartridge from — where do you think?'
mdp.39015063941515	'I ca n't get past the fact that there are none of Wakeling's prints about the stock grip WHO FIRED THE GUN?
mdp.39015063941515	'I ca n't understand how I missed this yesterday,'said Burford, and asked his companions:'You see what it is?'
mdp.39015063941515	'I felt certain the man was hiding something, did n't you, Groves?'
mdp.39015063941515	'I have told Colonel Selburn so, my dear Edna,'— SUICIDE OR?
mdp.39015063941515	'I wonder if you could let me see the cellar without taking me into the hall?'
mdp.39015063941515	'I wonder — do you remember what you did with it?'
mdp.39015063941515	'If you saw even a trifle about it, would n't that call to mind the fact that you received a sample?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Impetuous?

mdp.39015063941515	'Is that the sort of thing?'
mdp.39015063941515	'Is this where you were standing when you heard the shot?'

mdp.39015063941515	'Quite bluntly, Mrs Cayne,'said Burford,'did you ever hear Wakeling talk of taking his life?'

mdp.39015063941515	Why not then say suicide and have done with it?
mdp.39015063941515	Why should no indication of a loop being attached to the skirting give more reason for saying no loop, no murder?'
mdp.39015063941515	Why then should he have put a cartridge into it?
mdp.39015063941515	Why?'
mdp.39015063941515	Worst of it?
mdp.39015063941515	Would a fiver ruin you?'
mdp.39015063941515	Would n't the prints be in less danger of smudging if kept between the pages?'
mdp.39015063941515	Would you have gone into the cloakroom if Mr Kyle had not stopped you?'
mdp.39015063941515	Would you mind turning off the light?'
mdp.39015063941515	Would you say that — seriously?'
mdp.39015063941515	Would you see him, Griffiths?'
mdp.39015063941515	You did not pick it up without thinking and put it in the corner?'
mdp.39015063941515	You did not, by any chance, pick up a gut cast and put in the cast- box that was on the window- sill?'
mdp.39015063941515	You lifted the gun- case, too, and the cushions, and Mrs Cayne's canvas knee boots?'
mdp.39015063941515	You see that, do n't you?'
mdp.39015063941515	You see what I'm driving at?
mdp.39015063941515	You wo n't let them say that Graeme committed suicide, will you?'
mdp.39015063941515	You've been after something, what?
mdp.39015063941515	figured so prominently eighteen months ago must have attracted your attention?'
mdp.39015063941515	gun or cartridge?
mdp.39015063941515	sample been interfered with in transit?
mdp.39015063941515	t You've pretty well got him tamed as it is, Burford — MURDER?
mdp.39015063941515	was supposed to have caused the death of a lady?'
mdp.39015063941515	— MURDER?
mdp.39015063941515	— MURDER?
mdp.39015063941515	— SUICIDE OR?
mdp.39015063941515	— SUICIDE OR?
mdp.39015063941515	— SUICIDE OR?
mdp.39015063941515	• Did he?'
mdp.39015063919503	A certainty, eh?
mdp.39015063919503	A very careful young gentleman, is he?
mdp.39015063919503	A what?
mdp.39015063919503	About me?
mdp.39015063919503	Accident, is it?
mdp.39015063919503	After giving the others a shout to stop?
mdp.39015063919503	Against whom, then?
mdp.39015063919503	Ah, Mrs. Brent, do n't you now see what happened? mdp.39015063919503 Ah, you noticed that?"
mdp.39015063919503	An ex- gamekeeper, eh? mdp.39015063919503 And A- hat has that to do with it?"
mdp.39015063919503	And Toplis?
mdp.39015063919503	And after hearing her story you examined the windows?
mdp.39015063919503	And he had followed you about like that for the last hour?
mdp.39015063919503	And that was?
mdp.39015063919503	And the gun?
mdp.39015063919503	And the last?
mdp.39015063919503	And the motive?
mdp.39015063919503	And the other curious happenings — they can be all as neatly explained?
mdp.39015063919503	And the other?
mdp.39015063919503	And this one?
mdp.39015063919503	And what may that smile mean?
mdp.39015063919503	And what might that be, sir?
mdp.39015063919503	And who had the gun?
mdp.39015063919503	And you've got no further than that?
mdp.39015063919503	And your view, sir?
mdp.39015063919503	Any idea which of them?
mdp.39015063919503	Any ideas, sergeant?
mdp.39015063919503	Are n't we keeping the doctor waiting?
mdp.39015063919503	Are you quite sure?
mdp.39015063919503	Are you suggesting that one of his 30 THE GROUSE MOOR MURDER friends had a gun which could shoot round a corner?
mdp.39015063919503	Aspera?
mdp.39015063919503	Ay,she said,"but —""When was that?"
mdp.39015063919503	Be useful?
mdp.39015063919503	Brave?
mdp.39015063919503	Brooded over it?
mdp.39015063919503	But did he know he did it?
mdp.39015063919503	But why should not the shot actually have come from below? mdp.39015063919503 But you do n't think it's murder, do you?"
mdp.39015063919503	But, Mrs. Brent, was n't your son going out to the tennis courts with Miss Willoughby?
mdp.39015063919503	But, man, what are you afraid of?
mdp.39015063919503	Can I?
mdp.39015063919503	Can you so?
mdp.39015063919503	Careful? mdp.39015063919503 Could you give me an idea how long you went on after you lost sight of Mr. Cresswell on your left?"
mdp.39015063919503	D'ye know what I think makes her al- ways use three stamps on her letters?
mdp.39015063919503	Did I smile?
mdp.39015063919503	Did I? mdp.39015063919503 Did he gather who — er — operated with the weapon?"
mdp.39015063919503	Did he know who owned the gun?
mdp.39015063919503	Did n't these papers tell you anything?
mdp.39015063919503	Did you go at once to investigate?
mdp.39015063919503	Did you happen to notice which way he was looking?
mdp.39015063919503	Did you have any talk together?
mdp.39015063919503	Did you notice when you left the room whether the key was in the lock or not?
mdp.39015063919503	Did you see any one leave the house as you came out of the wood?
mdp.39015063919503	Did you see him?
mdp.39015063919503	Do n't you like music, then?
mdp.39015063919503	Do you know if the young man was aware how his father died?
mdp.39015063919503	Do you know whose the coat is?
mdp.39015063919503	Do you mean none of the other witnesses know what has been said by any one else?
mdp.39015063919503	Do you think a shot might have been fired in this room without your hearing it?
mdp.39015063919503	Doctor's gone up?
mdp.39015063919503	Does he think he can identify the purchaser?
mdp.39015063919503	Does it matter?
mdp.39015063919503	Does it really matter so much?
mdp.39015063919503	Does n't that mean fighting?
mdp.39015063919503	Does such a thing exist?
mdp.39015063919503	Door locked?
mdp.39015063919503	Dr. Macfarlane still there?
mdp.39015063919503	Fair provoked him to go, sir?
mdp.39015063919503	Feeling bad?
mdp.39015063919503	Feeling better?
mdp.39015063919503	Feeling better?
mdp.39015063919503	For in- stance, had any of them any reason to — well, be hostile to your son?
mdp.39015063919503	For one thing, why should this man Joliffe ask Toplis about any new people at all? mdp.39015063919503 From some one farther down the slope, you mean, of course?"
mdp.39015063919503	Full name, please?
mdp.39015063919503	Full name?
mdp.39015063919503	Going to be a parson, are n't you, Bray?
mdp.39015063919503	Got hold of something?
mdp.39015063919503	Got the key?
mdp.39015063919503	Got what?
mdp.39015063919503	Has there been an accident?
mdp.39015063919503	Have a drop of this?
mdp.39015063919503	He hasna'been fechtin', has he?
mdp.39015063919503	He talked to you about it?
mdp.39015063919503	He was all right when you saw him last, was he not?
mdp.39015063919503	He'd come in to get the tennis balls, had n't he?
mdp.39015063919503	His friends? mdp.39015063919503 Hit it?
mdp.39015063919503	How can you know that?
mdp.39015063919503	How is he doing?
mdp.39015063919503	How?
mdp.39015063919503	Hullo — Butler's Analogy, eh?
mdp.39015063919503	I hope you did n't find the officer in the way?
mdp.39015063919503	I mean — will he — recover?
mdp.39015063919503	I say,he burst out,"you do n't think he supposes there's — there's anything wrong, do you?"
mdp.39015063919503	I suppose you did, first of all, try to influence Brent?
mdp.39015063919503	I was just wondering,he said,"if you had anything to add to the statement you made before the Procurator- Fiscal?"
mdp.39015063919503	If I put it to him,she cried,"will he deny that he was there because he expected another attack to be made on my boy that night?"
mdp.39015063919503	Important?
mdp.39015063919503	In private?
mdp.39015063919503	In the constabulary?
mdp.39015063919503	In the wood?
mdp.39015063919503	Instead of hindering, eh?
mdp.39015063919503	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063919503	Is it — serious, doctor?
mdp.39015063919503	It was just here, was n't it, Toplis?
mdp.39015063919503	It's shorter than I thought,Munro admitted;"but what do you mean when you say I loitered?"
mdp.39015063919503	Joliffe? mdp.39015063919503 Just this one?"
mdp.39015063919503	Know he did it?
mdp.39015063919503	Let me see? mdp.39015063919503 Like a taste?"
mdp.39015063919503	Like sea trout?
mdp.39015063919503	Look here, sir,he continued,"how could a fellow like me have any respect for a fel- low who's more afraid of a gun than any girl?"
mdp.39015063919503	Make anything of it?
mdp.39015063919503	Meeting him?
mdp.39015063919503	Met him?
mdp.39015063919503	Mr. Brent was in the library with you, I believe, when Mr. Willoughby called?
mdp.39015063919503	Mr. Willoughby is angry enough about the business already, and I do n't see why you pick me out for — what is it you call it — interrogation? mdp.39015063919503 Mrs. Brent, you can tell me where the telephone is placed at Duchray?"
mdp.39015063919503	Must I really go up there again? mdp.39015063919503 My God, what's all this?"
mdp.39015063919503	My God,he whispered,"what makes you suspect that?"
mdp.39015063919503	Necessary?
mdp.39015063919503	No inquest? mdp.39015063919503 No?
mdp.39015063919503	No?
mdp.39015063919503	None at all?
mdp.39015063919503	Not continuously?
mdp.39015063919503	Not quite for the same fish, though, eh?
mdp.39015063919503	Now what are you after, sergeant?
mdp.39015063919503	Now who the hell are you?
mdp.39015063919503	Now, how on earth did you guess that?
mdp.39015063919503	Now?
mdp.39015063919503	Oh — he plays the piano then?
mdp.39015063919503	Oh!—What's that?
mdp.39015063919503	Oh, you would, would you?
mdp.39015063919503	One of the clan, eh?
mdp.39015063919503	Over the left arm, was n't it, Eric?
mdp.39015063919503	Panicky?
mdp.39015063919503	Reading, sir?
mdp.39015063919503	Really? mdp.39015063919503 See that?"
mdp.39015063919503	Sergeant, was Brent by any chance found lying on his back when they reached him? ”. mdp.39015063919503 Shall I go on, father?"
mdp.39015063919503	Shot, did you say, sir? mdp.39015063919503 So his position on the plan represents the distance Joliffe advanced after hearing that shot?"
mdp.39015063919503	So his position, at least, is more or less guesswork?
mdp.39015063919503	So no word passed between you?
mdp.39015063919503	So you never knew he had stayed on in the library till — till afterwards?
mdp.39015063919503	So you think that gave her the idea for the stamp trick?
mdp.39015063919503	Some of Sam Haggerty's friends?
mdp.39015063919503	Some one might have brought it to him, might n't they?
mdp.39015063919503	Somerset House?
mdp.39015063919503	Something annoyed him?
mdp.39015063919503	Suppose it could be done in the circumstances I have stated, who was there to do it? mdp.39015063919503 That circle marks the tree's position?"
mdp.39015063919503	That is to say, the farther down the slope you got the denser the mist became?
mdp.39015063919503	The St. Andrews people do n't think it a flight?
mdp.39015063919503	The deed- box, you mean?
mdp.39015063919503	The exact position? mdp.39015063919503 The superintendent in?"
mdp.39015063919503	The water- proof?
mdp.39015063919503	The wrong bird, eh?
mdp.39015063919503	Then do n't you think the time has come for telling Mr. Willoughby? mdp.39015063919503 Then whom do you suspect?"
mdp.39015063919503	Then why the lie?
mdp.39015063919503	There had been no shooting for some time, then?
mdp.39015063919503	Think he was as big as the one you lost here last Tuesday?
mdp.39015063919503	Think of it?
mdp.39015063919503	This means you think there's nothing in this case?
mdp.39015063919503	To me?
mdp.39015063919503	Turned round?
mdp.39015063919503	We?
mdp.39015063919503	Well, Murray, what about that? mdp.39015063919503 Well, but are n't you wrong in saying Mr. Brent cared for nothing but his music?"
mdp.39015063919503	Well, hg's a lawyer, is n't he?
mdp.39015063919503	Well, what?
mdp.39015063919503	Well, who does like him except Mary and dad?
mdp.39015063919503	Well,MacNab rejoined,"and what is taken more seriously nowadays?"
mdp.39015063919503	Well?
mdp.39015063919503	Well?
mdp.39015063919503	Well?
mdp.39015063919503	What about a saunter?
mdp.39015063919503	What about it?
mdp.39015063919503	What about it?
mdp.39015063919503	What about the shot? mdp.39015063919503 What about?"
mdp.39015063919503	What can you know about him?
mdp.39015063919503	What did happen?
mdp.39015063919503	What did you do then?
mdp.39015063919503	What do you think of that?
mdp.39015063919503	What do you think of that?
mdp.39015063919503	What do you want us to do?
mdp.39015063919503	What else?
mdp.39015063919503	What happened?
mdp.39015063919503	What happened?
mdp.39015063919503	What number were the Arrochmore party using yes- terday?
mdp.39015063919503	What progress? mdp.39015063919503 What use have you for these cartridges?"
mdp.39015063919503	What were you doing there?
mdp.39015063919503	What were you thinking about, really?
mdp.39015063919503	What — what's he doing here?
mdp.39015063919503	What's that?
mdp.39015063919503	What?
mdp.39015063919503	What?
mdp.39015063919503	When had you seen Mr. Cresswell last?
mdp.39015063919503	When you stopped and turned round, sir, did you see anybody or anything?
mdp.39015063919503	When's that?
mdp.39015063919503	Where are you speaking from?
mdp.39015063919503	Where? mdp.39015063919503 Which was his coat?"
mdp.39015063919503	Which was the exception?
mdp.39015063919503	Who is she?
mdp.39015063919503	Who says I turned?
mdp.39015063919503	Who told you that?
mdp.39015063919503	Who was shooting in the wood?
mdp.39015063919503	Who's that?
mdp.39015063919503	Why not — if both were true?
mdp.39015063919503	Why not?
mdp.39015063919503	Why not?
mdp.39015063919503	Why, sir?
mdp.39015063919503	Why?
mdp.39015063919503	Will you no'tell me what's wrong?
mdp.39015063919503	Would n't a cigarette be easier for you?
mdp.39015063919503	Would n't you?
mdp.39015063919503	Yes, what is it?
mdp.39015063919503	Yes,he said,"and am I to take it that your son was affected by her conduct?"
mdp.39015063919503	Yes?
mdp.39015063919503	Yes?
mdp.39015063919503	Yes?
mdp.39015063919503	You are from London, are n't you?
mdp.39015063919503	You are quite sure it was a shot you heard? mdp.39015063919503 You are quite sure of what you say?"
mdp.39015063919503	You could n't perhaps say from what direction the shot came?
mdp.39015063919503	You did n't hear the shot in the library?
mdp.39015063919503	You did turn round, did n't you?
mdp.39015063919503	You do n't believe he's like that? mdp.39015063919503 You do n't like London, of course?"
mdp.39015063919503	You do n't still suspect Cress- well of shooting Brent, do you?
mdp.39015063919503	You do n't surely think he may have done it delib- erately?
mdp.39015063919503	You do n't think it was an accident then? mdp.39015063919503 You do n't think —?"
mdp.39015063919503	You do?
mdp.39015063919503	You found the man who sold it?
mdp.39015063919503	You got no statement from the man?
mdp.39015063919503	You had been seeing him?
mdp.39015063919503	You have n't seen it before then? mdp.39015063919503 You heard no shot at all?"
mdp.39015063919503	You just assumed he followed this line, then?
mdp.39015063919503	You like being here, of course?
mdp.39015063919503	You mean Cresswell deliberately took Brent's gun?

mdp.39015063760394	“ Is Mr. Levinsky in? ” asked the man standing outside.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Is the charwoman available? ”.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Long- winded devil, is n't he?
mdp.39015063760394	“ My dear man, considering that we've been look- ing for him all this time"Things thought tha aidlaw?
mdp.39015063760394	“ My dear man, who's arguing in a circle now?
mdp.39015063760394	“ No, I sha n't. ”"Those cuttings is doing well — that last lot you gave me. ”[ 51] THE MAN WHO WAS DEAD"Are they?
mdp.39015063760394	“ Not really? ” said Woods, turning the letter over and contemplating the neat signature, “ Israel Levin- sky,"at the bottom of the page.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Oh, is that you, Drury?
mdp.39015063760394	“ That it?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Then what's the good —? ”.
mdp.39015063760394	“ There's a letter in one of your boxes that I very[ 50] WHERE IS MR. LEVINSKY?
mdp.39015063760394	“ Was it familiar to you? ”.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Was it messed up like this yesterday?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Was that wire really loose or did you —? ”.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Were they speaking the truth, or was there anything fishy about any of them?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ What address book?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ What did I tell you?
mdp.39015063760394	“ What do you mean? ”"Well, you know the professors of applied mathe- matics who disguise themselves as bookies?
mdp.39015063760394	“ What do you mean? ”"Well, you know the professors of applied mathe- matics who disguise themselves as bookies?
mdp.39015063760394	“ What for?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ What happened then? ” “ I went to bed at ten, so I do n't know.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What have you done about that specimen of writing, Purley? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What is it doing in the syringe?
mdp.39015063760394	“ What name was it?".
mdp.39015063760394	“ What on earth can we do now? ” he asked de- spondently.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What shall I draw?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ What sort of a pig? ”.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What time did Mr. Levinsky get home last night? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What was Mr. Levinsky doing while you were doing this? ”"He was writing at the desk.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What was it?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ What's that for? ” whispered Mr. Singleton, who was feeling the strain of keeping quiet so long.
mdp.39015063760394	“ What's that?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ What, just after I'd cleaned it?
mdp.39015063760394	“ What?
mdp.39015063760394	“ When did[ 66] MR. TOMLIN PUTS HIS FOOT IN IT they start printing politics on the back page?
mdp.39015063760394	“ Who has been boring holes in perfectly good furniture?".
mdp.39015063760394	“ Who is it?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why did he do that?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why did n't you break it open and make sure?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why him in particular? ”"I do n't know.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why not? ” he repeated in surprise.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why should anybody do anything?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why was Levinsky near Laidlaw's house?
mdp.39015063760394	“ Why, is he dead? ”.
mdp.39015063760394	“ Will you come in?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Will you have one?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ Wo n't it do your practice a lot of harm?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ You are Dr. Laidlaw's locum, miss, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ You are quite certain that this is the right one?"
mdp.39015063760394	“ You have n't a key, then? ” “ No, not for this door.
mdp.39015063760394	“ You saw for yourself that there was n't a leather- bound book with a lock on it in the safe, I suppose?"
mdp.39015032324355	'My son,—our son, my most constant, my only care,—how to secure for him the position in the future of which I dream? mdp.39015032324355 Ah, monsieur, how could the doctor reach my dis- ease?
mdp.39015032324355	Alone, without an object, all the evening?
mdp.39015032324355	Already?
mdp.39015032324355	An infant?
mdp.39015032324355	An injury to you, my dear sir?
mdp.39015032324355	And Claudine,continued the young man;"will she be silent, too?"
mdp.39015032324355	And did he speak to you first?
mdp.39015032324355	And do you think that Madame d'Arlanges will give her granddaughter to plain Monsieur Gerdy?
mdp.39015032324355	And he asked you for time?
mdp.39015032324355	And his under vest?
mdp.39015032324355	And how is she now?
mdp.39015032324355	And if I die to- night?
mdp.39015032324355	And if I should refuse you this money?
mdp.39015032324355	And if he should confess,said the count,"if he should confess?"
mdp.39015032324355	And if she never stirs?
mdp.39015032324355	And is that all?
mdp.39015032324355	And is that nothing?
mdp.39015032324355	And now?
mdp.39015032324355	And the doctor?
mdp.39015032324355	And then?
mdp.39015032324355	And then?
mdp.39015032324355	And this brown fellow,—what about him?
mdp.39015032324355	And through me, Claire? mdp.39015032324355 And to augment his revenues?"
mdp.39015032324355	And was that the cause of your rupture?
mdp.39015032324355	And what became of your wife after your de- parture?
mdp.39015032324355	And what do you think of Noel?
mdp.39015032324355	And what had she in her pannier?
mdp.39015032324355	And when was she attacked by this illness?
mdp.39015032324355	And why, if you please?
mdp.39015032324355	And why?
mdp.39015032324355	And will she recover her reason?
mdp.39015032324355	And will she speak then?
mdp.39015032324355	And you did not kick this man out of doors?
mdp.39015032324355	And you have preserved the letters?
mdp.39015032324355	And you think, my dear sir, that it will be impossible to obtain any thing from her?
mdp.39015032324355	Are you quite sure of this?
mdp.39015032324355	Are you sure?
mdp.39015032324355	Are you then sure,said he,"of the viscount's guilt?"
mdp.39015032324355	At last he found them; and then what did he do? mdp.39015032324355 At least, my dear boy,"said he,"tell me how this happened?"
mdp.39015032324355	At least,said he, addressing the child again,"you noticed the name of the sloop?
mdp.39015032324355	At what time of the day?
mdp.39015032324355	Before you depart, my child, tell me, have you spoken to any one of this meeting before to- day?
mdp.39015032324355	But have you done any thing yet? mdp.39015032324355 But it is her own house; and you have no right —""What of that?
mdp.39015032324355	But monsieur will return?
mdp.39015032324355	But now, mademoiselle,demanded the count,"are they going to release him?"
mdp.39015032324355	But tell me, have you seen him?
mdp.39015032324355	But the assassination?
mdp.39015032324355	But what good would it do,he said to himself,"even if they came?"
mdp.39015032324355	But what,murmured he,"has become of the child?
mdp.39015032324355	But where has she been wounded?
mdp.39015032324355	But your mother,demanded the old fellow, —"pardon, I would say Madame Gerdy,—how did she receive this proposition?"
mdp.39015032324355	But,insisted he,"how have you known him, spoken to him?
mdp.39015032324355	Can crime give such force?
mdp.39015032324355	Can it be truethought he,"that the arrogance of lackeys is the secret of the people's hatred of the aris- tocracy?"
mdp.39015032324355	Can this be my son?
mdp.39015032324355	Can we, or can we not, ascertain the antecedents of this woman?
mdp.39015032324355	Can you explain why the viscount did not appear disposed to accompany you?
mdp.39015032324355	Can you fix the hour?
mdp.39015032324355	Can you not understand, monsieur? mdp.39015032324355 Can you remember how he was dressed?
mdp.39015032324355	Can you tell us, my little friend, with what this sloop was loaded?
mdp.39015032324355	Certainly it was?
mdp.39015032324355	Could the examination, think you, result otherwise than in my favor? mdp.39015032324355 Could they not have robbed, without assassinating the poor woman?"
mdp.39015032324355	Did he really say that?
mdp.39015032324355	Did her son ever come to see her while she lived here?
mdp.39015032324355	Did it, indeed? mdp.39015032324355 Did she mention her son's name?"
mdp.39015032324355	Did she not tell you of the commission with which £ le was charged?
mdp.39015032324355	Did she speak ill of her husband?
mdp.39015032324355	Did she spend much money with you?
mdp.39015032324355	Did you carry an umbrella?
mdp.39015032324355	Did you hear?
mdp.39015032324355	Do I not know all your objections beforehand? mdp.39015032324355 Do I still hate this young man?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you believe so, Papa Tirauclair?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you comprehend this judge?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you feel sure of what you have advanced?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you find it warm?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you forget that I receive no consideration from you except money? mdp.39015032324355 Do you know the unusual, the dangerous position we are in at this moment?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you know why I have come?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you know, Monsieur Gerdy,he began,"the business on account of which you are troubled with ap- pearing before me?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you know,said the servant,"that it is half- past eight o'clock?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you not use a cigar- holder, to keep your lips from contact with the tobacco?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you really know?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you recollect the arrangement of the rooms? mdp.39015032324355 Do you think it very amusing to be shut up here all alone until you come in, like a mute at a funeral?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you want me to die?
mdp.39015032324355	Does madame's brother,he asked,"know that she is dangerously ill?"
mdp.39015032324355	Does not this generosity appear to you very sin- gular?
mdp.39015032324355	Does she recognize her friends?
mdp.39015032324355	Does the hat astonish you, Gevrol?
mdp.39015032324355	Excuse me, mademoiselle,interrupted Daburon,"what day did you write to Albert?"
mdp.39015032324355	For Noel?
mdp.39015032324355	For what do you take me?
mdp.39015032324355	Four hundred thousand francs, just? mdp.39015032324355 From whom did this letter come?"
mdp.39015032324355	From your own pocket, old enthusiast?
mdp.39015032324355	Has any accident occurred?
mdp.39015032324355	Have we any gleam of hope, sister?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you examined the dead woman's finger- nails, M. Gevrol? mdp.39015032324355 Have you gone often to this woman's house?"
mdp.39015032324355	Have you had suspicions of any one?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you kept the letter, mademoiselle, in which Albert asked for this interview?
mdp.39015032324355	He has been complaining all the evening, grand- mamma; may he not be sick?
mdp.39015032324355	He was rich, then?
mdp.39015032324355	He? mdp.39015032324355 He?"
mdp.39015032324355	He?
mdp.39015032324355	His family is, then, so illustrious,said he,"that it disdains alliance with yours?"
mdp.39015032324355	His father,cried the magistrate, with a bitterness he did not dream of hiding, —"his father, his family; and that withholds him?
mdp.39015032324355	How do you know that?
mdp.39015032324355	How is it possible,said she,"that your ancestors, eminent, wealthy, and influential, never thought of pur- chasing a title for their descendants?
mdp.39015032324355	How were his pantaloons?
mdp.39015032324355	How, already?
mdp.39015032324355	How, then, should the clock have stopped at nine? mdp.39015032324355 How, what do you mean?
mdp.39015032324355	How,cried Pere Tabaret,"these letters — the true ones?
mdp.39015032324355	How,cried the old detective,"no alibi?
mdp.39015032324355	How? mdp.39015032324355 How?
mdp.39015032324355	I must save my life,he thought;"but how?"
mdp.39015032324355	I3 that really true?
mdp.39015032324355	If I have not done this, my friend, it is because I said to myself,'These letters burned, would he recog- nize me as his brother?'
mdp.39015032324355	In heaven's name, what has happened to you?
mdp.39015032324355	In order that these scoun- drels may persist in their obduracy? mdp.39015032324355 In what way?"
mdp.39015032324355	In your affairs, eh? mdp.39015032324355 Indeed?
mdp.39015032324355	Is Madame Gerdy visible?
mdp.39015032324355	Is any thing,it cried,"more monstrous than the association of these two ideas,—hatred and justice?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it not his duty to exercise some self- denial, in re- turn for the honor of our company? mdp.39015032324355 Is it possible,"murmured he at length,"that you can ask that?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it possible?
mdp.39015032324355	Is she really there?
mdp.39015032324355	Is that sufficient?
mdp.39015032324355	Is there any thing else?
mdp.39015032324355	It is true; but who in my position could have re- sisted? mdp.39015032324355 It was you, then, who brought this nun?"
mdp.39015032324355	Joke?
mdp.39015032324355	Know what?
mdp.39015032324355	Like these, eh?
mdp.39015032324355	M. Tabaret,demanded he brusquely,"have you been long associated with the police?"
mdp.39015032324355	M. le judge,said he in a low voice,"will you per- mit me to ask the boy a few questions?"
mdp.39015032324355	Madame is there?
mdp.39015032324355	Me, monsieur? mdp.39015032324355 Monsieur Gerdy?"
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur is going out?
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur wants his coffee?
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur will not return until late?
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur,he asked,"will you permit me to say a few words in your presence to the Count de Com- marin?
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur,he began again more sternly,"when were you informed of the discovery of your secret?"
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur,said he,"the sentiments expressed by the viscount are very fine, without doubt; but did he not speak to you of the Widow Lerouge?"
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur,said the judge abruptly,"tell me ex- actly, I beseech you, how you passed your time last Tuesday evening, from six o'clock until midnight?"
mdp.39015032324355	Monsieur,she began —"You come, do you not, my poor child, to obtain news of the unhappy boy?"
mdp.39015032324355	Must I, then lose all this?
mdp.39015032324355	My child, are you sure, are you not deceiving your- self?
mdp.39015032324355	No explanations? mdp.39015032324355 No, certainly, my friend; then you have visited M. de Commarin's house?"
mdp.39015032324355	Noe] here,he repeated; then timidly added,"and does he know?"
mdp.39015032324355	Not an alibi, nothing?
mdp.39015032324355	Now that I think of it,cried he,"was it not on Tuesday that the weather changed?
mdp.39015032324355	Now,continued the judge,"where did you dine?"
mdp.39015032324355	Now,demanded he, ignoring M. Gevrol with a superb disdain,"what thinks M. the judge of in- quiry?"
mdp.39015032324355	Now,said the judge,"tell us how you executed your commission?"
mdp.39015032324355	On what day was the Widow Lerouge last seen, and at what hour?
mdp.39015032324355	One word,interrupted the old fellow;"was he troubled on seeing the letters?"
mdp.39015032324355	Only if you will permit me to give — what shall I say without failing in respect? — a piece of advice?
mdp.39015032324355	Only if you will permit me to give — what shall I say without failing in respect? — a piece of advice?
mdp.39015032324355	Or must I call Charlotte to admire this superb monument of your gen- erosity? mdp.39015032324355 Pardon me for interrupting you, Noel,"said Pere Tabaret,"do you know what grave affairs detained your father abroad?"
mdp.39015032324355	Perhaps,answered the doctor, looking fixedly at his friend;"but why do you ask that?"
mdp.39015032324355	Retreat?
mdp.39015032324355	Shall I carry the letter?
mdp.39015032324355	Shall you, then, be glad, monsieur,she asked;"to find Albert guilty?
mdp.39015032324355	She had no enemies? mdp.39015032324355 She has ruined my whole life; but ought I to be implacable?
mdp.39015032324355	She has, monsieur; but it will be impossible for her to appear; she is ill."Seriously?
mdp.39015032324355	She, this woman?
mdp.39015032324355	Sit here, by my side, monsieur,he said;"are you not my son?"
mdp.39015032324355	So you have come at last?
mdp.39015032324355	So you persist in denying your guilt?
mdp.39015032324355	So, count,said he,"you acknowledge that Noel Gerdy was the issue of your legitimate marriage, and that he alone is entitled to bear your name?"
mdp.39015032324355	So,continued Daburon,"you met absolutely no one who could affirm that he saw you?
mdp.39015032324355	Suddenly?
mdp.39015032324355	Suffer, my love? mdp.39015032324355 Tell me, then, what occurred?"
mdp.39015032324355	The circumstances are such, mademoiselle, —"You accuse me, then, of falsehood, monsieur? mdp.39015032324355 The crime committed,"said he to himself,"should I have been condemned?
mdp.39015032324355	The judge asks you which way the bow of the sloop was turned, — towards Paris or towards Marly?
mdp.39015032324355	Then there was something remarkable about him?
mdp.39015032324355	Then this employment pleases you?
mdp.39015032324355	Then you intend to renounce every thing; you will even abandon your proposed union with Mademoiselle Claire d'Arlanges? mdp.39015032324355 Then you, my dear friend, you knew this honest woman?"
mdp.39015032324355	This letter was, then, from a woman?
mdp.39015032324355	Truly? mdp.39015032324355 Unfortunate, my friend?
mdp.39015032324355	Very willingly; in what way?
mdp.39015032324355	Was I not yours, your own, heart and soul? mdp.39015032324355 Was ever man,"continued he,"more cruelly de- ceived, more miserably duped, than I have been,—I who have so loved this woman?
mdp.39015032324355	Was it not, monsieur? mdp.39015032324355 We have always been friends, have we not?"
mdp.39015032324355	Well, monsieur,replied the sailor,"what can I say?
mdp.39015032324355	Well, what did she say?
mdp.39015032324355	Well, why then—?
mdp.39015032324355	Well,continued the judge,"and this was a big brown man, dressed in a blouse?"
mdp.39015032324355	Well,demanded Pere Tabaret,"how is she now?"
mdp.39015032324355	Well?
mdp.39015032324355	What I mean?
mdp.39015032324355	What Icried the count stunned,"you will aban- don me?
mdp.39015032324355	What am I to do? mdp.39015032324355 What answer did he make?"
mdp.39015032324355	What are you doing there? mdp.39015032324355 What can I answer, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What can be the matter?
mdp.39015032324355	What conclusion do you come to, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What could he do more than we have done?
mdp.39015032324355	What could she say? mdp.39015032324355 What did you say?"
mdp.39015032324355	What do you decide, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What do you say to it, then?
mdp.39015032324355	What do you say?
mdp.39015032324355	What do you then hope for, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What has become of the witnesses who signed this paper?
mdp.39015032324355	What has happened to her?
mdp.39015032324355	What has taken place?
mdp.39015032324355	What have you done with it?
mdp.39015032324355	What have you done, M. Tabaret?
mdp.39015032324355	What have you to say?
mdp.39015032324355	What if he should be? mdp.39015032324355 What is strange?"
mdp.39015032324355	What is that, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What is the object of all this?
mdp.39015032324355	What is your purpose, then?
mdp.39015032324355	What lady? mdp.39015032324355 What matters that?
mdp.39015032324355	What of that?
mdp.39015032324355	What time did you go out?
mdp.39015032324355	What was it? mdp.39015032324355 What were your feelings upon learning this?"
mdp.39015032324355	What would you do?
mdp.39015032324355	What, did you not think to inform him, in my ab- sence? mdp.39015032324355 What, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What?
mdp.39015032324355	What?
mdp.39015032324355	Where did you go?
mdp.39015032324355	Where, then, is my courage? mdp.39015032324355 Which way was she going, up the river or down?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who and what is this Pere Tirauclair?
mdp.39015032324355	Who is there?
mdp.39015032324355	Who knows? mdp.39015032324355 Who was this Widow Lerouge?
mdp.39015032324355	Who will hereafter refuse to believe in presenti- ments?
mdp.39015032324355	Who,continued the sick woman, unconscious of all that was passing about her, —"who can tell what I have endured?
mdp.39015032324355	Who? mdp.39015032324355 Whom I shall not love?"
mdp.39015032324355	Why did I not think THE WIDOW LEROUGE 47 of it before? mdp.39015032324355 Why did you forbid your valet de chambre, Lubin, to call the doctor?"
mdp.39015032324355	Why, how is that?
mdp.39015032324355	Why? mdp.39015032324355 Why?"
mdp.39015032324355	Why?
mdp.39015032324355	Will this man never end?
mdp.39015032324355	With you?
mdp.39015032324355	With- out her, would I have to live as I am doing, refusing myself every thing to make both ends meet? mdp.39015032324355 Would you not have brought an action?"
mdp.39015032324355	You are going to leave Paris, then?
mdp.39015032324355	You are not ignorant, monsieur,he commenced in a tone of perfect politeness,"that you have no right to the name you bear?"
mdp.39015032324355	You are sure of the hour?
mdp.39015032324355	You are very rich, then?
mdp.39015032324355	You are,he asked,"Guy Louis Marie Albert de Rheteau de Commarin?"
mdp.39015032324355	You decided?
mdp.39015032324355	You did not finish, then, viscount,he said,"you did not read all?"
mdp.39015032324355	You do n't love him, then?
mdp.39015032324355	You do not mean what you say?
mdp.39015032324355	You do not understand? mdp.39015032324355 You have been obliged —?"
mdp.39015032324355	You have been unwell these last few days?
mdp.39015032324355	You have n't them with you, then?
mdp.39015032324355	You have never seen her since?
mdp.39015032324355	You have never visited her?' mdp.39015032324355 You have not told me, viscount,"he said,"who sent you this unhappy message?"
mdp.39015032324355	You housed up? mdp.39015032324355 You know no one whom this crime benefits, or whom it might benefit,—absolutely no one?"
mdp.39015032324355	You love a man: he knows it; and he meets with ob- stacles?
mdp.39015032324355	You love another,said he at length,—"another?
mdp.39015032324355	You say it was on Shrove Tuesday evening?
mdp.39015032324355	You see, then, some difficulties, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	You think it a laughing matter?
mdp.39015032324355	You think so?
mdp.39015032324355	You think, do you not, that, after reading these letters, I ought to have seen and questioned Clau- dine? mdp.39015032324355 You unfortunate?"
mdp.39015032324355	You unhappy?
mdp.39015032324355	You will not tell me any thing?
mdp.39015032324355	You wish it, mademoiselle? mdp.39015032324355 You wished to speak with me?"
mdp.39015032324355	You,murmured she,—"is this really true?"
mdp.39015032324355	You?
mdp.39015032324355	that I have never wept over the thought of my legitimate son passing his life struggling for a competence? mdp.39015032324355 'See here,'she said to me, —Lerouge stopped, and, changing his tone said, —"You understand that it is my wife who is speak- ing?"
mdp.39015032324355	36 THE WIDOW LEROUGE"How, M. Tabaret,"said he,"your father the au- thor of your misfortunes?"
mdp.39015032324355	386 THE WIDOW LEROUGE"And have you kept this paper?"
mdp.39015032324355	74 THE WIDOW LEROUGE"What I did she not attempt to exculpate herself?"
mdp.39015032324355	A position and a fortune?
mdp.39015032324355	A voice cried out to me,'Who, then, is most interested in Claudine's death?'
mdp.39015032324355	After a moment he asked, —"Have you tried to think who could have assassi- nated your wife?"
mdp.39015032324355	After dinner, what did you do?"
mdp.39015032324355	After that, what is to be believed?
mdp.39015032324355	Albert inno- cent?
mdp.39015032324355	All the animation departed from bis manner; and, in a hesitat- ing voice, he demanded, —"What do you say, viscount?"
mdp.39015032324355	All this is agreeable, is it not?"
mdp.39015032324355	Am I not alone in the world, as if lost in a desert?
mdp.39015032324355	Am I not compelled to wash in secrecy and shadow the foul linen of society?
mdp.39015032324355	Am I not here?
mdp.39015032324355	Am I punished thus, because, like the priest, the judge should condemn himself to solitude and celibacy?
mdp.39015032324355	Am I so feeble that, in assuming my role, I am unable to divest myself of my personality?
mdp.39015032324355	Am I to blame for the circumstances of my position?
mdp.39015032324355	And I?
mdp.39015032324355	And could it be otherwise?
mdp.39015032324355	And do you think she will love you any the more?
mdp.39015032324355	And do you think that such a man would neglect a precaution that would not be omitted by the commonest tyro?
mdp.39015032324355	And for what reason?"
mdp.39015032324355	And for what was all this heroism of deception, this caution, this duplicity?
mdp.39015032324355	And he is still in prison, still in solitary confinement?"
mdp.39015032324355	And is it under such conditions that I dare examine him?"
mdp.39015032324355	And then, with evident hesi- tation, he added,"did he speak to you of his — of your mother?"
mdp.39015032324355	And this young man who was not her son, and who yet called her mother, and at the same time spoke of a veritable son accused of being an assassin?
mdp.39015032324355	And what can the other ever be to me?"
mdp.39015032324355	And what could he reply?
mdp.39015032324355	And what of that?"
mdp.39015032324355	And you expect to make me believe it?
mdp.39015032324355	And your grandmother, your governess, your servants, did they all see him and speak to him?"
mdp.39015032324355	And, even if it were true, have not many men done just such insane things for women, without ceasing to be honest?
mdp.39015032324355	And, if he should raise his voice, do you hope to accomplish much through the considerations you have just men- tioned?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are there no centimes?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are they alike, or not?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are they not of the same color, the same skin?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are you displeased?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are you not dreaming, mademoiselle?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are you not going to put a stop to his researches, mon- sieur?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are you not hungry?"
mdp.39015032324355	Are you possessed of other proofs?'
mdp.39015032324355	Are you sure that you are not armed with the law, revenging yourself upon a ri- val?"
mdp.39015032324355	Ask him if he has ever rid- den out with me?
mdp.39015032324355	At what hour did the rain commence here?"
mdp.39015032324355	Be- sides, have not all parties one and the same aim — THE WIDOW LEROUGE 283 power?
mdp.39015032324355	Because he is going to get married?
mdp.39015032324355	Besides, does Albert defend himself?
mdp.39015032324355	Besides, had I not promised absolute secrecy?"
mdp.39015032324355	Besides, were they still in existence?
mdp.39015032324355	Besides, what man ever dreams of putting himself on his guard against the woman he loves?
mdp.39015032324355	But how many men have had in their lives a passion?
mdp.39015032324355	But let us get back to my question; how and on what will you live?"
mdp.39015032324355	But no; why should I harass you with all the proofs?
mdp.39015032324355	But now where to find the assassin?
mdp.39015032324355	But of what nature was this se- cret, and how did she become possessed of it?
mdp.39015032324355	But tell me, what do you expect from all this astonish- ing disinterestedness?"
mdp.39015032324355	But the viscount, pray tell me what he is good for, what he knows how to do?
mdp.39015032324355	But was he guilty?
mdp.39015032324355	But what do you suppose that this little girl costs him a year?"
mdp.39015032324355	But what is there to fear now?
mdp.39015032324355	But what matters it?
mdp.39015032324355	But what matters the num- ber of visits?"
mdp.39015032324355	But what was the occasion of your adopting this employment?"
mdp.39015032324355	But what's that to me?
mdp.39015032324355	But who has charged himself with the commission?
mdp.39015032324355	But who would be thus troubled for him?
mdp.39015032324355	But why has she preserved these others, compromising enough in themselves?
mdp.39015032324355	But you did not be- lieve the wicked calumny: you scorned it; for are you not here?"
mdp.39015032324355	But, tell me, have you, then, seen your father, the count?"
mdp.39015032324355	Cal- umny threatens you?
mdp.39015032324355	Can I bring them here, to be astonished by your luxury, by this suite of apart- ments,—a monument of my folly?
mdp.39015032324355	Can I not find one man who will aid me?
mdp.39015032324355	Can I not, for the present, make abstraction of the past?
mdp.39015032324355	Can he be going to sleep?
mdp.39015032324355	Can he by any chance be going to be married?
mdp.39015032324355	Can he, without despising himself more than the vile beings he condemns, remind himself that a criminal whose fate is in his hands has been his enemy?
mdp.39015032324355	Can it be he?
mdp.39015032324355	Can this really be he who is speaking to her?
mdp.39015032324355	Can we not postpone this conversation?'"
mdp.39015032324355	Can you better force a well- armed person to use his arms than by demanding their surrender?
mdp.39015032324355	Can you describe them?"
mdp.39015032324355	Can you not foresee the joy of that herd of parvenues who surround us?
mdp.39015032324355	Can you talk of impartiality?
mdp.39015032324355	Claire, you can- not have chosen a man unworthy of your love?
mdp.39015032324355	Could I, if I wished?
mdp.39015032324355	Could I,"he added, proudly,"on assuming my rightful name, begin by dis> honoring it?"
mdp.39015032324355	Could a brave soldier con- fess that his sister was the mistress of a count?
mdp.39015032324355	Could any thing be more an- gelic?
mdp.39015032324355	Could he hope for this from the count or from Madame Gerdy, both interested in con- cealing the truth?
mdp.39015032324355	Could he keep himself a free arbiter?
mdp.39015032324355	Could he leave Madame Gerdy?
mdp.39015032324355	Could he look to the right or the left, when, at the end of his journey, he perceived the reward so ardently desired?
mdp.39015032324355	Could he, without yielding, re- sist the tearful pleading of those eyes, which had so long held complete sway over his soul?
mdp.39015032324355	Could it really be that he had never had any suspicion of this?
mdp.39015032324355	Could she knowingly be the accomplice of this dread- ful crime?
mdp.39015032324355	Could they compromise any one but yourself?
mdp.39015032324355	Could this dying woman really be Valerie?
mdp.39015032324355	Daburon?"
mdp.39015032324355	Did he not think rather of the grand and magnificent existence which was awaiting him on the other side of the river, at the Faubourg St. Germain?
mdp.39015032324355	Did he regret her?
mdp.39015032324355	Did he think his will would be impar- tial?
mdp.39015032324355	Did he try to excuse himself?
mdp.39015032324355	Did it not enter into the line of de- fence which the prisoner had marked out for himself?
mdp.39015032324355	Did not this quizzing hide a determination to neglect all that he could say?
mdp.39015032324355	Did she hear him aright?
mdp.39015032324355	Did she pass for being rich?"
mdp.39015032324355	Did she understand?
mdp.39015032324355	Did you not know that the sight of hap- piness irritates mankind?
mdp.39015032324355	Did you not tell them that no one could love you here below as I did?
mdp.39015032324355	Do I know why?
mdp.39015032324355	Do n't speak of her in this icy tone; but tell me what you mean by calling her Madame Gerdy?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do not certain memories weigh heavily in the scale?
mdp.39015032324355	Do they not correspond?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you call this an ex- istence, even, never to budge out of the house?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you fence?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you hate this prisoner, whose fate is in your hands?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you imagine that I am the man to be robbed, spoiled, and betrayed with impunity?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you know that I have renewed these notes four times already?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you know, monsieur, any one who might have been at enmity with the Widow Le- rouge?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you not feel a pang of remorse for all the money you have lavished upon me?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you not see that I understand him better than he can understand himself?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you not think it a sufficient one?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you not understand me, Claire?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you recognize these articles as belonging to yourself?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you remember the queer spelling in my first letter?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you ride?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you see?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you think I shall not reclaim my own?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you think it will be possible to wrap up in Daburon a young girl who for eighteen years has been called d'Arlanges?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you think that I have never felt a burning desire to repair the wrong done him?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you think that I now for the first time repent of my youthful folly?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you think that surprising?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you wish me to go down on my knees?"
mdp.39015032324355	Do you wish to endanger her soul?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you, then, imagine that Noel Gerdy will be so easily disposed of, so easily silenced?
mdp.39015032324355	Do you, who talk to me of for- getting, feel the power to forget?
mdp.39015032324355	Does Albert love me as much?"
mdp.39015032324355	Does not one seek solitude in the great crises of one's life?"
mdp.39015032324355	Dying?
mdp.39015032324355	For whom had he committed this crime?
mdp.39015032324355	Four years?
mdp.39015032324355	Gladly would he have turned over to another the further examination of the count; but could he?
mdp.39015032324355	Guy, can you forget that?
mdp.39015032324355	Had Claire spoken the truth?
mdp.39015032324355	Had chance alone assisted him?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he answered seriously?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he been de- ceived in his investigations?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he experienced, since leaving her, one single hour of happiness?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he no one in the world who would deem it happiness to share his sufferings?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he not repented even with remorse his hav- ing signed the warrant of arrest, and accepted the duty of investigation?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he really informed Claire?
mdp.39015032324355	Had he recovered his old good sense?
mdp.39015032324355	Had his calcula- tions of probabilities been erroneous?
mdp.39015032324355	Had not he himself one night in a race of folly traversed all Paris?
mdp.39015032324355	Had she not been playing a role, assumed to deceive him?
mdp.39015032324355	Had this subtle villain something better than that?
mdp.39015032324355	Has he a right to sit in judgment on a man against whom he harbors in his heart one drop of gall?"
mdp.39015032324355	Has it been destroyed?
mdp.39015032324355	Has it been moistened with saliva?
mdp.39015032324355	Has she appeared to suffer much during the time?"
mdp.39015032324355	Has your hardihood come to this that you pick up the words which escape me?
mdp.39015032324355	Have I not dreamed of a life of exceptional happi- ness for her, almost impossible to realize without wealth?"
mdp.39015032324355	Have I not proved it to you a thousand times?
mdp.39015032324355	Have women, then, no reason nor discern- ment?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you an estate at your fingers'ends, like Jean Jacques'Emile?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you dined?"
mdp.39015032324355	Have you entered it three times?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you ever brought one of your friends here?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you found any more mare's nests, since the other day?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you not friends?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you proofs of what you state?
mdp.39015032324355	Have you thought of what is to be done?
mdp.39015032324355	He bent down to the doctor's ear, and, with his voice trembling with anxiety, asked, —"Well?"
mdp.39015032324355	He continued, —"If I should tell you he is guilty?"
mdp.39015032324355	He has told you all about it, then?"
mdp.39015032324355	He hired an entire box; but do you think that he sat in it with me?
mdp.39015032324355	He opened the door, and said with impatience,"What is know?"
mdp.39015032324355	He returned after some minutes, —"'Monsieur, said he, can I meet the legitimate son of the count, my father?'
mdp.39015032324355	He seemed to ask himself, —"Am I really awake?
mdp.39015032324355	He will be wild the morning of his execution, eh, Balan?"
mdp.39015032324355	His end accomplished, what does he then?
mdp.39015032324355	His father, the Count de Commarin?"
mdp.39015032324355	His first word on entering was, —"What is the matter with him?"
mdp.39015032324355	His strongest arguments were of no more avail against Daburon's? bsolute conviction than bul- lets of crumbs of bread against a breastplate.
mdp.39015032324355	How could I be sure that Claudine had not invented the second story to pacify me?
mdp.39015032324355	How could he persist in bearing alone his great misfortune?
mdp.39015032324355	How could he show the falsity of this one, planned in advance, affirmed by Claire, who was herself deceived?
mdp.39015032324355	How could he, a prudent diplomat, a statesman, used to precaution, have put it in writing?
mdp.39015032324355	How do you expect to live, my stoic philosopher?
mdp.39015032324355	How far was the count a stranger to the crime at Jonchere?
mdp.39015032324355	How have you learned this?
mdp.39015032324355	How is it your grandmother does not receive him?"
mdp.39015032324355	How is your mother?"
mdp.39015032324355	How much do you give him a year for his skill?"
mdp.39015032324355	How shall I proceed?
mdp.39015032324355	How was she employed?
mdp.39015032324355	How, after all that you have read there, can —?"
mdp.39015032324355	How, after writ- ing, could he have allowed this fatal correspondence to i8o THE WIDOW LEROUGE remain in existence?
mdp.39015032324355	I am not sufficiently profuse in my acknow- ledgments, to please my generous benefactor?
mdp.39015032324355	I forget him?
mdp.39015032324355	I have committed a crime, it is true, and I do not attempt to justify it; but who laid the foundation of it, if not yourself?
mdp.39015032324355	I merely presented the facts to Albert, saying,'Here, what do you think we ought to do?
mdp.39015032324355	I said again,'What oaths is that mouth, which has so often pressed my lips, now taking?'
mdp.39015032324355	I went up to him; and he asked me if I had got a good pair of legs?
mdp.39015032324355	I,—were you not angry when you left me?
mdp.39015032324355	If I instal myself so suddenly in your house, what will they not say?
mdp.39015032324355	If you had knocked some evening at her door, do you think she would have opened it for you?"
mdp.39015032324355	If you have known such a man, why have you not already presented him?"
mdp.39015032324355	In heaven's name, what have I done?
mdp.39015032324355	Indeed, how so?"
mdp.39015032324355	Into what singular house had she fallen?
mdp.39015032324355	Is dirt, then, so great an attraction for you that you must jump from the carriage so eagerly?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it bitten?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it credible?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it not justice?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it not my trade to descend into all the moral sinks, to stir up the foulness of crime?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it possible, that, without a profound love, a man can not be all that you have been to me?
mdp.39015032324355	Is it probable?"
mdp.39015032324355	Is it really possible?"
mdp.39015032324355	Is it you, and at this hour?"
mdp.39015032324355	Is not my disgrace public?
mdp.39015032324355	Is not this some hideous nightmare?"
mdp.39015032324355	Is she pretty?
mdp.39015032324355	Is there not now the accumulated rancor of years to urge him to oppose us?
mdp.39015032324355	Is this practicable?
mdp.39015032324355	It is just, is it not?
mdp.39015032324355	May she not have assisted her mistress in some intrigue?
mdp.39015032324355	Might not this usurer be slandering the advocate?
mdp.39015032324355	Money?
mdp.39015032324355	Must not I, Count Rheteau de Commarin, appear before the tribunal, to proclaim the infamy of our house?
mdp.39015032324355	Must she die without recovering her reason for one moment?
mdp.39015032324355	Nay, would it be a sacrifice?
mdp.39015032324355	No sooner said than done; and during twenty years, the best twenty years of my life, I was encumbered with the old —""How?
mdp.39015032324355	Noel did not flinch under the gaze, but almost immediately continued, —"What reason could Albert have for trembling, fear- ing for his position?
mdp.39015032324355	Noel will go distracted; but no: since she is not his mother, how can it affect him?
mdp.39015032324355	Noel, whom ten years of constant intercourse have taught me to esteem and admire to such a degree that I would speak for him as I would for myself?
mdp.39015032324355	Now, in this case, how have I reached the crimi- nal?
mdp.39015032324355	Now, what is your advice?"
mdp.39015032324355	Of what avail to have the bread when one has no longer the teeth?
mdp.39015032324355	Of what avail?
mdp.39015032324355	Of what do you complain?
mdp.39015032324355	Of what importance td the count would be a doubt of his paternity, had he not sacrificed his legitimate to his natural son?
mdp.39015032324355	Of what use to awaken in you hopes that may never be realized?
mdp.39015032324355	Of what was he thinking, while she was dying a few paces from him,—she who had given him so many proofs of maternal tenderness and devotion?
mdp.39015032324355	Of whom were you speaking?"
mdp.39015032324355	Often since that dreadful misfortune, I have asked the good God what crime I had committed that I should be so terribly punished?
mdp.39015032324355	Often, when considering the possibility of such a catastrophe, he had asked himself how he should avert it?
mdp.39015032324355	On Monday, then?"
mdp.39015032324355	On seeing Tabaret, he called out, —"Ah well, my illustrious bird's- nest hunter, what news?
mdp.39015032324355	Only, I confess —""What?
mdp.39015032324355	Or was I in a pe- culiar state of mind which always precedes an illegal attempt?
mdp.39015032324355	Or, my worthy Monsieur Gerdy, have you learned economy from the four thousand francs a month I allow you for waxing your moustache?
mdp.39015032324355	Ought I not rather to remain the representa- tive of the law, incapable of emotion, insensible to preju- dice?
mdp.39015032324355	Ought I to leave the death- bed of her who filled my mother's place?"
mdp.39015032324355	Ought he not to withdraw, and wash his • hands of bloodshed, leaving to another the care of avenging society?
mdp.39015032324355	Ought she to see a lover in this magistrate, sombre and severe, always as sad as his black costume?
mdp.39015032324355	Our conditions are agreed to, are they not?
mdp.39015032324355	Papa Tirauclair?"
mdp.39015032324355	Perhaps you object to having your mother nursed by a daughter of St. Vin- cent?"
mdp.39015032324355	Reason and logic lead us to what?
mdp.39015032324355	Shall I get up a subscription for you?
mdp.39015032324355	Shall I have strength to bear this excess of happiness?"'
mdp.39015032324355	Shall I run down stairs to exhibit it to the por- ter?
mdp.39015032324355	Shall I seek M. Daburon?
mdp.39015032324355	She could never have accomplished this herself; her husband perhaps himself?"
mdp.39015032324355	She had deceived him, it is true; but did he not owe to her the only years of happiness he had ever known?
mdp.39015032324355	She has a full purse, eh?
mdp.39015032324355	She has told me all, you understand?"
mdp.39015032324355	She might, perhaps, then have re- warded me; who knows?
mdp.39015032324355	She murmured, —"Why does he absent himself?
mdp.39015032324355	She said to herself,"What has this Noel accom- plished for Albert?"
mdp.39015032324355	Should he dine with his father?
mdp.39015032324355	Should he fly, pursued by all the police in the world, tracked like a deer, and she remain peaceably in Paris?
mdp.39015032324355	Should he nevertheless ask it, and compel himself to again pronounce this name of Claire, so terrible to him?
mdp.39015032324355	Should he not rather hasten to rescue her whose very life depended upon his?
mdp.39015032324355	Should he tell fiim all?
mdp.39015032324355	Suppose you were summoned be- fore the tribunals, and that there, under oath, you should be required to speak the truth, what answer would you make?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 153 All the world, it is true, ignores the crime of thought'and intention; but could he himself forget it?
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 189"What have you to reply?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 21"Tell us, my little friend,"asked Gevrol,"if you saw this man again, would you know him?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 287"Who has called upon me?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 359"I betray you?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 375"You are, then, some relation of Claudine Le- rouge?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 383 erness than you, eh?'
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE 83"And what said he, Noel, to this?"
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE In fact, why this persistence on the subject of Clau- dine?
mdp.39015032324355	THE WIDOW LEROUGE"You are sure you are not mistaken?"
mdp.39015032324355	Tell me, how did you obtain your knowledge of this corre- spondence?"
mdp.39015032324355	That I might remain alone here, without any thing to occupy me except a cigarette and a stupid book, that I go to sleep over?
mdp.39015032324355	That might imply,—but what matters it?"
mdp.39015032324355	That's your idea of happiness, is it?"
mdp.39015032324355	The Widow Le- rouge Noel's nurse?
mdp.39015032324355	The grave magistrate felt a mad desire to stop the passers by, to press them in his arms, to cry to them, —"Do you not know, the marquise consents?"
mdp.39015032324355	The papa?
mdp.39015032324355	The word"sacrifices"surprised the magistrate so strongly that involuntarily he repeated it half- aloud,"Sacrifices?"
mdp.39015032324355	Then addressing the judge, —"Can I be of any further use?"
mdp.39015032324355	Then you will keep house?"
mdp.39015032324355	They are of pearl gray, are they not?
mdp.39015032324355	They exclaimed,"Is it not a shame, a man of that age?"
mdp.39015032324355	They knew of cases where people had romantically desired to quit this world together; and had they not heard two shots?
mdp.39015032324355	They launch into speculations, and become rich, it is true; but in what?
mdp.39015032324355	To what new and infallible stratagem had he had recourse?
mdp.39015032324355	To what purpose?"
mdp.39015032324355	Too strong, say you?
mdp.39015032324355	Upon what means did she live?
mdp.39015032324355	Was I mad?
mdp.39015032324355	Was I not yours, body and soul, from the first?
mdp.39015032324355	Was I really his father?
mdp.39015032324355	Was I responsible?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he attacked by that panic which stupefies criminals when £ hey are on the point of being convicted?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he dreaming?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he going to escape without her, go away with the certainty of never seeing her again?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he not a man to suppress, by every means, an inconvenient witness?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he not abusing her by an unworthy, cruel jest?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he speaking frankly, or was he but playing the generous role?
mdp.39015032324355	Was he, then, unworthy of it?
mdp.39015032324355	Was his usual penetration to fail him now?
mdp.39015032324355	Was his will enfeebled?
mdp.39015032324355	Was it not a crime to dream of uniting that virginal simplicity to my detestable worldly science?
mdp.39015032324355	Was it not for her sake I placed all that I possessed in the funds, and lost it?
mdp.39015032324355	Was it not her son who had received the benefits of the deed,—who had usurped another's name and fortune?
mdp.39015032324355	Was it not just, then, that she should bear her share of the pun- ishment?
mdp.39015032324355	Was it really she who was speaking?
mdp.39015032324355	Was not my name in the papers?
mdp.39015032324355	Was not this Albert's mother?
mdp.39015032324355	Was not „ this, of all others, a case to except against, to give his resignation?
mdp.39015032324355	Was she a miser?
mdp.39015032324355	Was she going to change the children?
mdp.39015032324355	Was she known to have enemies?
mdp.39015032324355	Was she not Claire's grandmother?
mdp.39015032324355	Was she not overwhelmed by the discovery?"
mdp.39015032324355	Was she not sinning?
mdp.39015032324355	Was she not there, two steps from him?
mdp.39015032324355	Was there not plenty of time before him?
mdp.39015032324355	Was, then, this man as strong as he had imag- ined?
mdp.39015032324355	We en- tered, and who do you think we saw?
mdp.39015032324355	We have seen numbers of persons signing appeals for mercy to a condemned malefactor, condemned for what crime?
mdp.39015032324355	Well, now tell me, does there exist to your knowledge any one having any interest whatever in the death of this poor woman?"
mdp.39015032324355	Well, whose fault is it?
mdp.39015032324355	Well, you know, I suppose, that she is dead,—that she was the victim of a dreadful crime?"
mdp.39015032324355	Were there any imprints of footsteps, M. le commissary?"
mdp.39015032324355	Were you obliged to return home alone?"
mdp.39015032324355	What blood have you in your veins, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	What blood have you in your veins?
mdp.39015032324355	What can they do to you?
mdp.39015032324355	What client would confide his in- terests to an imbecile who permitted himself to be ruined by the woman whose toilettes are the talk of Paris?
mdp.39015032324355	What connection could possibly exist between Noel's honor and the assassina- tion at Jonchere?
mdp.39015032324355	What consideration with- holds me from lifting up my voice and proclaiming my THE WIDOW LEROUGE 75 wrongs?
mdp.39015032324355	What could I have said?
mdp.39015032324355	What could have happened to keep him away?
mdp.39015032324355	What could he reasonably hope for from this system of persistent denial?
mdp.39015032324355	What could not such a man as he do in a month?
mdp.39015032324355	What could she ask that he would have the heart to refuse?
mdp.39015032324355	What could she want with him?
mdp.39015032324355	What courage could resist such assaults?
mdp.39015032324355	What did it mean?
mdp.39015032324355	What did this conversation mean?
mdp.39015032324355	What did this well- dressed young gentleman want?
mdp.39015032324355	What difficulty remained?
mdp.39015032324355	What does he say?
mdp.39015032324355	What does this young fellow want?
mdp.39015032324355	What excess of maternal tenderness can serve him as power- fully as this separation?
mdp.39015032324355	What had become of him?
mdp.39015032324355	What had he gained from the business of bloodhound?
mdp.39015032324355	What had she been in my life?
mdp.39015032324355	What has become of the ten thousand francs that you left with her the other evening?
mdp.39015032324355	What have I done to you?"
mdp.39015032324355	What have I to fear now?
mdp.39015032324355	What have you discovered?
mdp.39015032324355	What is the matter?
mdp.39015032324355	What is to prevent the new Vis- count de Commarin from quitting Paris, and being lost to sight?
mdp.39015032324355	What is your advice?"
mdp.39015032324355	What kind of cigars do you usually smoke?"
mdp.39015032324355	What more probable?
mdp.39015032324355	What of that, if he is only freed?"
mdp.39015032324355	What of that?
mdp.39015032324355	What power held my finger, when an almost in- sensible pressure would have sufficed to strike the blow?
mdp.39015032324355	What reason could he have had to suspect her discre- tion?
mdp.39015032324355	What reply could he have made, if some one had asked him next morning where he had gone, ex- cept that he had not paid attention, and did not know?
mdp.39015032324355	What ruse had he at the bottom of his bag?
mdp.39015032324355	What sacrifice could compare with love like mine?
mdp.39015032324355	What to do?
mdp.39015032324355	What trap had he prepared?
mdp.39015032324355	What was necessary to that end?
mdp.39015032324355	What was she do- ing at this moment?
mdp.39015032324355	What was this new and grave in- formation?
mdp.39015032324355	What was to be done?
mdp.39015032324355	What were her habits, her manners, her companionships?
mdp.39015032324355	What will be the other?
mdp.39015032324355	What will they do to me, if I do not pay?"
mdp.39015032324355	What words can paint my sorrow when I compare the fortunes of these two children?"'
mdp.39015032324355	What would I not give to establish this man's innocence?
mdp.39015032324355	What would be his con- dition after the terrible discovery?
mdp.39015032324355	What would she see, if, in my absence, she dreamed of me?
mdp.39015032324355	What, not an alibif Nothing?
mdp.39015032324355	What, then, does this wonderful progress in inven- tion acomplish?
mdp.39015032324355	What?
mdp.39015032324355	When have you offered me your arm for a promenade?
mdp.39015032324355	When he reached the stair- case, —"You will return?"
mdp.39015032324355	When?
mdp.39015032324355	Whence came this sudden boldness, which made her recall all those words which found an echo in his heart?
mdp.39015032324355	Where did she come from?
mdp.39015032324355	Where is the broken end?"
mdp.39015032324355	Where?
mdp.39015032324355	Who broke it?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who but I should have, by the sole exercise of observation and reason, estab- lished the whole history of the assassination?
mdp.39015032324355	Who but he had an interest in silencing the Widow Lerouge, in suppressing her testimony, in destroying her papers?
mdp.39015032324355	Who but they are to blame?
mdp.39015032324355	Who can answer?
mdp.39015032324355	Who can have occasioned this?
mdp.39015032324355	Who can imagine a way to repair it?
mdp.39015032324355	Who can prove that she has not made it, before now, the interest of some one else to get her out of the way?
mdp.39015032324355	Who can tell what became of her?
mdp.39015032324355	Who can tell what games he has gone to play else- where?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who can tell what light we may receive from this old mariner with the rings in his ears?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who can tell whether they may not have been the gainers by it?
mdp.39015032324355	Who could this woman be?
mdp.39015032324355	Who else can have committed this assassination?
mdp.39015032324355	Who have I injured that I should have so many enemies?
mdp.39015032324355	Who have been her ac- complices?
mdp.39015032324355	Who knows what you will attempt, to procure money?
mdp.39015032324355	Who knows whether at this very hour Providence is not working for you?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who knows, to despise me, perhaps?
mdp.39015032324355	Who knows?
mdp.39015032324355	Who reaped the benefits of it?
mdp.39015032324355	Who was this young man?
mdp.39015032324355	Who would act in such a manner that was in his senses?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who would believe me, were I to recount my expe- rience?"
mdp.39015032324355	Who would have believed her malady could advance so rapidly?
mdp.39015032324355	Who would have imagined such a history?
mdp.39015032324355	Who would have thought his nerves so sensitive?
mdp.39015032324355	Who, who was it?
mdp.39015032324355	Why am I only a woman?
mdp.39015032324355	Why did I not pull the trigger?
mdp.39015032324355	Why did n't you re- member to get this woman's address from Clergeot?
mdp.39015032324355	Why did you not leave me always where you had found me?
mdp.39015032324355	Why did you not tell me the truth?"
mdp.39015032324355	Why direct all your resentment against Ma- dame Gerdy?
mdp.39015032324355	Why had he not destroyed, at whatever cost, these overwhelming proofs, which sooner or later, would be brought against him?
mdp.39015032324355	Why had he not taken warning by the case of the little tailor?
mdp.39015032324355	Why had he undertaken this inquiry?
mdp.39015032324355	Why had he, the judge, moved with such deplorable haste?
mdp.39015032324355	Why have I not the wings of a bird, that I might fly to thee, beloved of my soul and mingle our tears of joy and thankfulness?
mdp.39015032324355	Why have I withheld my secret from you?
mdp.39015032324355	Why have not all judges passed through an incomprehensible crisis such as mine?
mdp.39015032324355	Why is it these scamps can almost twist an honest man's spirit around like a weather- cock with every breath of their rascality?"
mdp.39015032324355	Why is not he the judge, and I the assas- sin?
mdp.39015032324355	Why should he hesitate now?
mdp.39015032324355	Why this morose silence?
mdp.39015032324355	Why this obstinacy, which would not admit the possibility of Albert's innocence?
mdp.39015032324355	Why, then, had they not bequeathed a title and their arms to their descendants?
mdp.39015032324355	Why?
mdp.39015032324355	Why?
mdp.39015032324355	Why?
mdp.39015032324355	Will he attempt to intimidate the agents?
mdp.39015032324355	Will he threaten them with expulsion from the house?
mdp.39015032324355	Will it give you pleasure to convict him?
mdp.39015032324355	Will mon- sieur have one?"
mdp.39015032324355	Will she not recognize me, speak one word to me?"
mdp.39015032324355	Will you descend?"
mdp.39015032324355	Will you follow me to my room?"
mdp.39015032324355	Will you never be more cautious?"
mdp.39015032324355	Will you please come nearer?
mdp.39015032324355	Will you step into my study?
mdp.39015032324355	Without doubt he did not believe me; for, in a tone of the coolest im- pertinence, he asked me,'Shall you be long?'
mdp.39015032324355	Would an action committed in a state of mental alienation be a crime?
mdp.39015032324355	Would he abandon his resolution?
mdp.39015032324355	Would not the advocate misunderstand him, if he confessed?
mdp.39015032324355	Would she desire to we d a man soiled by suspicion of a crime?
mdp.39015032324355	Would they not in- quire of me, from whom have I taken the money that maintains this mad profusion?
mdp.39015032324355	You are poor: he is rich; and that stops him, and he knows you love him?
mdp.39015032324355	You can read I suppose; you must surely have seen the name of the vessel you went aboard of?"
mdp.39015032324355	You did not speak to a living soul?
mdp.39015032324355	You have perhaps not thought of giving this poor lady the sweet aid of our beloved religion?
mdp.39015032324355	You live in a prison, you?"
mdp.39015032324355	You refuse to sustain me, you turn against me, recognize the rights of this man, in spite of my wishes?"
mdp.39015032324355	You think perhaps, monsieur, that to take an THE WIDOW LEROUGE 39 interest in books a man must have studied, must be learned?"
mdp.39015032324355	You un- derstand?
mdp.39015032324355	You understand, monsieur?
mdp.39015032324355	You went in nowhere,—not even into a cafe or a theatre?"
mdp.39015032324355	You, her husband, revile her?"
mdp.39015032324355	Your relations still?
mdp.39015032324355	and what is he plot- ting?
mdp.39015032324355	and why, after having preserved them, has she let them out of her possession?"
mdp.39015032324355	and your grandmother is ignorant?
mdp.39015032324355	be done for Albert?"
mdp.39015032324355	but this evening?"
mdp.39015032324355	cried Albert,"is it then I, the dis- possessor, who has made this trouble?
mdp.39015032324355	cried Lecoq,"is he not colossal?
mdp.39015032324355	cried M. de Commarin,"you did not throw them in the fire,—there was a fire, I suppose?
mdp.39015032324355	cried Noel with ardor,"would you abandon him, when he has not a friend left in the world?
mdp.39015032324355	cried Pere Tabaret to himself,"can it be that Madame Gerdy?
mdp.39015032324355	cried the old fellow,"what do you tell me?
mdp.39015032324355	cried the old fellow;"this then is the occasion of your marriage with Mademoiselle Levernois being delayed these four years?"
mdp.39015032324355	did I not expect it?
mdp.39015032324355	dying?
mdp.39015032324355	encourage them by a culpable weakness?
mdp.39015032324355	exclaimed Noel with a sort of stupor;"can it be true?
mdp.39015032324355	exclaimed the old fellow,"you are in pos- session of nothing more?"
mdp.39015032324355	had he a blouse?"
mdp.39015032324355	have you formed any de- termination?"
mdp.39015032324355	have you got a clew?"
mdp.39015032324355	he exclaimed,"the viscount was at your house?
mdp.39015032324355	he has been punished?"
mdp.39015032324355	he said,"so you are a de- tective, eh?
mdp.39015032324355	how could I have refused both her arguments and her prayers?
mdp.39015032324355	interrupted the count contemptuously;"your conscience revolts, does it?
mdp.39015032324355	is it not, on the contrary, the dispossessed?
mdp.39015032324355	is n't the lesson you have already received sufficiently terrible?
mdp.39015032324355	me?"
mdp.39015032324355	my little friend, what was he like?"
mdp.39015032324355	n6 THE WIDOW LEROUGE"Are you unwell?"
mdp.39015032324355	or had he put his hand on the true criminal?
mdp.39015032324355	replied the advocate in a hollow tone, —"what I mean?"
mdp.39015032324355	replied the old fellow,"what good will it do?
mdp.39015032324355	retorted the young woman;"and is that nothing?
mdp.39015032324355	said Daburon,"and did not fall at your feet, what would you do next?"
mdp.39015032324355	said Juliette, in a tone of pity; then incredulously,"do you dare to tell me you have had difficulty in finding ten thousand francs,—you?"
mdp.39015032324355	said Lecoq in a low tone, perfectly audible, however,"why is not Pere Tirauclair here?"
mdp.39015032324355	said he, in the tone one assumes when reject- ing an absurd proposition,"do you dream of what you say, Noel?
mdp.39015032324355	said he,"the de- tails?
mdp.39015032324355	said the magistrate quickly,"have you, then, reason to think him innocent?"
mdp.39015032324355	said the usurer, shrugging his shoulders;"do you want to make the girl unhappy?
mdp.39015032324355	shall I bring the doctor?"
mdp.39015032324355	sighed Noel,"does she suffer?"
mdp.39015032324355	signs prove, however striking they may be, in this case, where one ought to disbelieve even the witness of his,'own senses?
mdp.39015032324355	since he is not guilty?
mdp.39015032324355	sister?"
mdp.39015032324355	sneered Pere Tabaret;"so you listen at key- holes, do you?"
mdp.39015032324355	tell me who is this admirable son- in- law, — this white blackbird?
mdp.39015032324355	tell me why?"
mdp.39015032324355	that I would doubt myself before doubting him?"
mdp.39015032324355	that my faith in him is ab- solute, as that which I have in God?
mdp.39015032324355	to what purpose?"
mdp.39015032324355	valuables?
mdp.39015032324355	what ails you?
mdp.39015032324355	what does that import to me?
mdp.39015032324355	where are they?"
mdp.39015032324355	where does he nestle?"
mdp.39015032324355	who could tell?
mdp.39015032324355	why am I not in his place; and why have not I against me the entire universe?
mdp.39015032324355	why are we parted at a time like this?
mdp.39015032324355	why did we leave our little cottage?
mdp.39015032324355	why did you tell me?"
mdp.39015032324355	why was not my confidence greater?
mdp.39015032324355	why?"
mdp.39015032324355	you are joking: you say that that quiets him?"
mdp.39015032324355	you old crocodile,"said he;"you haw business, then, in my house?"
mdp.39015032324355	you repent of your filial conduct, M. Ta- baret?"
mdp.39015032324355	you who spend nothing?"
mdp.39015032324355	your mother knew the Widow Lerouge?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	'Is n't that a beauty?' miua.0781766.0001.001 'Well, what do you know about that?'
miua.0781766.0001.001	And what made you think he was the man you wanted?
miua.0781766.0001.001	But what caused you to suspect him before you began to question him?
miua.0781766.0001.001	How can it be kept out, then?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Shucks, Joe, ca n't you see he's a minister?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Well, what are you going to do about it?
miua.0781766.0001.001	What was there about him that first made you think he was a crook?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Why not? miua.0781766.0001.001 Why?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	Would you mind stepping into my office a minute?
miua.0781766.0001.001	You want to know what effect it has had on hotels and on the criminal classes and what I think of the way it is working out?
miua.0781766.0001.001	You wretch,she exclaimed, in low, tense tones, with her teeth clenched together,"why do you insist on pursuing me?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	'Why did n't you warn me?'
miua.0781766.0001.001	124 Crooks of the Waldorf"Pardon me,"said Joe, as he stepped around in front of her,"but did I understand you to say you had found something?
miua.0781766.0001.001	196 Crooks of the Waldorf"But how are we to know she belongs to that class?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Again one might ask: Why?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Anyway, he was the right man, was n't he?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	But just what would you call that man, anyway?
miua.0781766.0001.001	CHAPTER VIII THE HOTEL ANNEX: A TRAVELING SPEAKEASY"WHAT about prohibition?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	CHAPTER X THIEVES BY CIRCUMSTANCE"WHAT makes a thief?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	He was a thief, of course, but what about the others?
miua.0781766.0001.001	How did he go?
miua.0781766.0001.001	How did he return?
miua.0781766.0001.001	If he himself does not understand this gift, or power, how can anyone else be expected to explain it?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Is n't that kind of boy worth saving from damnation?
miua.0781766.0001.001	It's true, is n't it?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	Oh, well, what can you expect in New York?'
miua.0781766.0001.001	They would not be disposed of in London, where all of the pawnshops were constantly under close observation, so why not Liverpool?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Well, when was he coming down to the bank?
miua.0781766.0001.001	What are you going to do about it?"
miua.0781766.0001.001	What can you expect of ordinary men in cases like that?
miua.0781766.0001.001	What do you think of a man with a lovely wife at home who will run around with a dame like that?'
miua.0781766.0001.001	What had he done the previous evening?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Where would he be now, do you think, if he had been sent to prison for his first offense?
miua.0781766.0001.001	Why, then, should they stop at the gates of the White House?
miua.0781766.0001.001	and"how come?"
mdp.39015063923992	A little after two o'clock. ” “ And what were you doing up at that hour? ” with a keenly inquisitive look up into her face. mdp.39015063923992 Ah, and so that's the source of your wealth?"

mdp.39015063923992	And the mare?

mdp.39015063923992	By the way, what are you searching for so early in this neck of the woods?

mdp.39015063923992	Have you news from Litch- field?
mdp.39015063923992	Have you no nearer neighbors?
mdp.39015063923992	He found the binoculars and took them home-“ He did? ” Julia sank back, much relieved.
mdp.39015063923992	He has n't been here?
mdp.39015063923992	He ushered me into a seat in the dining room and put a soup tureen in front of me —"And then?
mdp.39015063923992	How about looking in the drawers?
mdp.39015063923992	How about placing a guard about Yew Lodge?

mdp.39015063923992	How do you get that way?

mdp.39015063923992	I've torn the sheet in half; do you suppose Mr. Evans would mind if I took part of it home with me for bandages?

mdp.39015063923992	Jim, have you told Peggy that all of her uncle's wealth is safe in the vault below?
mdp.39015063923992	Julia, where did you get that gold money you were handling here when you thought people were n't looking?
mdp.39015063923992	Just him and me and Mr. Evans —"Where were the servants?
mdp.39015063923992	Lawd ha'mercy, what's dat?
mdp.39015063923992	Listen; what was that noise?

mdp.39015063923992	Oh, are you a beneficiary under his will?
mdp.39015063923992	Oh, will you?
mdp.39015063923992	Oh; then Uncle Herbert had some doubts on the subject?
mdp.39015063923992	Or, perhaps, something stronger?
mdp.39015063923992	Perhaps you prefer coffee — no? mdp.39015063923992 Philander"—he stopped, unable to go on for a second—"what disposal will be made of the body?
mdp.39015063923992	Please write your brother I am most anxious to hear from him, or, better still, why ca n't he make you a visit?

mdp.39015063923992	That door? ” Peggy looked up from contemplat- ing the coconut. mdp.39015063923992 The gates were open, heh?
mdp.39015063923992	The man on the woodbox, who is he?
mdp.39015063923992	Then you are expect- ing me — Miss Prescott?

mdp.39015063923992	What for?
mdp.39015063923992	What in tunket did he mean?
mdp.39015063923992	What is Folly Stanton after?

mdp.39015063923992	What?
mdp.39015063923992	When did you know him?
mdp.39015063923992	Where are you going, Jim? ” as the latter sprang on the running board of the moving car. mdp.39015063923992 Where did you spring from, Ed?"
mdp.39015063923992	Where does this lead?
mdp.39015063923992	Where have you been for the past ten days?
mdp.39015063923992	Where have you been this long while?
mdp.39015063923992	Where is Miss Prescott?

mdp.39015063923992	Whereabouts?
mdp.39015063923992	Which of these guns did you fire at Edgar Stanton?
mdp.39015063923992	Who have you here, Mr. Evans, besides your- self?

mdp.39015063923992	Why, yes; do n't you?
mdp.39015063923992	Why? ” he demanded. mdp.39015063923992 Why?"
mdp.39015063923992	Will you drive into Milton with me, Julia? mdp.39015063923992 Wo n't that inconvenience you?"
mdp.39015063923992	Wo n't you come back and have supper with me?
mdp.39015063923992	Wo n't you come in?
mdp.39015063923992	Wo n't you sit down? mdp.39015063923992 Wo n't you sit down?
mdp.39015063923992	Would n't the court consider that hear- say evidence?
mdp.39015063923992	Would you rather I slept here to- night?

mdp.39015063923992	Yes — who is it?
mdp.39015063923992	Yes; why, Julia?
mdp.39015063923992	Yesterday,then, with more animation,"Miss Peggy, did yo'notice that gemman on hossback who we passed awhile ago?"
mdp.39015063923992	Yo'Uncle Herbert did n't die hyar?
mdp.39015063923992	You are sure the property would not go to Com- mander Sinclair if the will was set aside or broken?
mdp.39015063923992	You have dealings with Clarke, Stanton's care- taker?
mdp.39015063923992	You have news?
mdp.39015063923992	You knew my uncle?
mdp.39015063923992	You know them, Julia?
mdp.39015063923992	You say supper is n't ready?
mdp.39015063923992	You say the bullet that killed Edgar Stanton was of thirty- five caliber?
mdp.39015063923992	You were at Echo Farm?
mdp.39015063923992	You were with Mr. Prescott when he died?
mdp.39015063923992	You wo n't live there?
mdp.39015063923992	Your maid is out?
mdp.39015063923992	Your relations with Com- mander Sinclair?

mdp.39015063923992	109 The Secret of Mohawk Pond “ What killed the lieutenant? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063923992	190 Treacherous Ground"What is it?"
mdp.39015063923992	271 The Secret of Mohawk Pond I presume, ” with a ghastly smile,"you do n't arrest a dead man for murder?"
mdp.39015063923992	96 The Broken Cord"Can I have a match? ” the latter asked.
mdp.39015063923992	Ain'he queer actin'?"
mdp.39015063923992	Also, how came Uncle Sam's property in the possession of a Yankee farmer, a farmer too old for active service?
mdp.39015063923992	And how?
mdp.39015063923992	And why have you locked all the windows?"
mdp.39015063923992	And why lead her to the dinner table and let her suppose he was going to serve a meal?
mdp.39015063923992	And why should n't she?
mdp.39015063923992	Another glance about—"I was here once —""Only once?"
mdp.39015063923992	Answer me dat? ”"I would if I could, Julia”—Peggy shrugged her shoulders helplessly.
mdp.39015063923992	Any excitement, did you ask?
mdp.39015063923992	Are n't you ashamed?"
mdp.39015063923992	Are you all right?"
mdp.39015063923992	Are you sure, Julia, the milk and cream were not left this morning from Echo Farm?"
mdp.39015063923992	But all that has happened since""What was that?"
mdp.39015063923992	But if those quotations applied to her, did not the passage,"when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward,"hold an even deeper significance?
mdp.39015063923992	But why disappear?
mdp.39015063923992	By whom?
mdp.39015063923992	Can you explain that, Mr. Evans? ” Under their bushy brows, Obadiah's eyes glowed queerly.
mdp.39015063923992	Can you not, in com- mon decency, take Captain Stanton to a bedroom?"
mdp.39015063923992	Chase's voice came to her from far off- what was that he was saying?
mdp.39015063923992	Chase?"
mdp.39015063923992	Chase?"
mdp.39015063923992	Could she be ill?
mdp.39015063923992	Could she place faith in her eyesight or had her too- vivid imagination played her false?
mdp.39015063923992	Couldn'dey see my haid stickin'out ob de water?"

mdp.39015063923992	Did you notice his face Saturday night?
mdp.39015063923992	Do you mind going after the mail?"
mdp.39015063923992	Early in the next court sea- son? ” The sheriff nodded.
mdp.39015063923992	Evans?"
mdp.39015063923992	Evans?"
mdp.39015063923992	Evans?"
mdp.39015063923992	Evans?"
mdp.39015063923992	Even so, it was with averted head and crossed fingers that she passed the door?
mdp.39015063923992	Had Miss Peggy gone out in her absence?
mdp.39015063923992	Had she been such a fool as to attach the tag to the wrong key?
mdp.39015063923992	Had she dreamed that, too?
mdp.39015063923992	Had the letter to Obadiah Evans dropped out of her bag in the meadow on her way to Echo Farm, in the farmhouse itself, or in the Ford car?
mdp.39015063923992	Have you any luggage?"
mdp.39015063923992	Have you done that?
mdp.39015063923992	He had a daughter of his own — suppose she had killed a man in defense of her home?
mdp.39015063923992	He lef''em once, an'I took'em back. ”"Well, did the husband find out about the flirta- tion?"
mdp.39015063923992	How about it, Jim?"
mdp.39015063923992	How describe her predicament?
mdp.39015063923992	How did you learn I was here?"
mdp.39015063923992	How long had Jim been there?
mdp.39015063923992	Hurt?"
mdp.39015063923992	I wonder why?"
mdp.39015063923992	I'm not of age. ”"Is that all? ” Jim smiled back at her, with eyes grown watchful.
mdp.39015063923992	If Herbert Prescott had gone daft on religion, what more likely than that he had used those passages to cloak the hiding place of his wealth?
mdp.39015063923992	If so, was he trying to convey to the reader that there was something hidden in Yew Lodge?
mdp.39015063923992	If this was her automatic, then to whom belonged the pistol Sheriff Beach had found in the living room near Edgar Stanton's body?
mdp.39015063923992	Is it possible to get to Stone Tower other than by going back to Goshen?"
mdp.39015063923992	Is yo'plannin'to leave the cyar out in front?"
mdp.39015063923992	It did n't git hurted?
mdp.39015063923992	Jim?"
mdp.39015063923992	Julia's devotion to Mrs. Prescott was second only 12 The Secret of Mohawk Pond sudden need of it and yet have it secreted from Julia?
mdp.39015063923992	Might they not even look upon him as a fortune hunter, in view of the fact that she would soon be wealthy in her own right?
mdp.39015063923992	Now why was the milk put there?"
mdp.39015063923992	Obadiah Evans had had the opportunity, but what motive would have inspired him to thus bar her from the room?
mdp.39015063923992	Obadiah hesitated; how far might he venture?
mdp.39015063923992	Obadiah was about to blot his signature when 218 The Secret of Mohawk Pond “ Both?"
mdp.39015063923992	Or was it done fairly re- cently by her Uncle Herbert?
mdp.39015063923992	Or,"glancing about,"shall we go out on the verandah?"
mdp.39015063923992	Peggy grew hot all over — what would he think of her?
mdp.39015063923992	Perhaps there were other coins in the Bible?
mdp.39015063923992	Philander, a'lover of mankind'; what does Aquila mean? ”"An eagle. ” The little botanist smiled, his cus- tomary good humor restored.
mdp.39015063923992	She and Obadiah Evans had found the book in the basement in the padlocked room; why not, therefore, investigate that room more thoroughly?
mdp.39015063923992	She could hear the bell in the stillness — then why did n't Miss Peggy let her in?
mdp.39015063923992	She was locked out of Yew Lodge but — had she not left Peggy Prescott inside the house?
mdp.39015063923992	Suddenly there rose before her mental vision the figure of another man, skulking, creeping into her home at dead of night seeking what —?
mdp.39015063923992	Suppose her uncle himself had removed the securities and brought them to Yew Lodge and secreted them in some secret hid- ing place?
mdp.39015063923992	Suppose it re- lated to the missing securities?
mdp.39015063923992	Suppose the judge should decide instead, to send her to jail?
mdp.39015063923992	Suppose the linen slipped and exposed his leather holster?
mdp.39015063923992	The next day I went to the Lodge —""So he stayed alone that night?"
mdp.39015063923992	Then how came this new padlock on the door?
mdp.39015063923992	Then, as she knitted her brows in thought:"Sundown, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063923992	Then, as the front wheels caught in a deep rut and slued the car around: “ Shall I drive? ”.
mdp.39015063923992	Then, forgetting all attempts at diplomacy, which had failed lamentably in extracting information from the reticent housekeeper:"Whar's Mister Jim?"
mdp.39015063923992	Was Jim's protestation of love but a blind?
mdp.39015063923992	Was he an Annapolis gradu- · ate and not a farmer, as she had supposed?
mdp.39015063923992	Was he?"
mdp.39015063923992	Was her too vivid imagination playing her false, was she attach-'ing too much importance to this message"from a far country"?
mdp.39015063923992	Was it but another trick to safeguard his own life?
mdp.39015063923992	Was it done in days gone by?
mdp.39015063923992	Was it not writ- ten in English law that a wife could not testify against her husband?
mdp.39015063923992	Was it possible that nerves were getting the best of her?
mdp.39015063923992	Was it possible that she had slept all the forenoon?
mdp.39015063923992	Was not that other Jim?
mdp.39015063923992	Was she turning coward?
mdp.39015063923992	Was that promised"reward"another will and a later one, or gold, or jewels, or a hoax?
mdp.39015063923992	Was the drink intended for him or for its owner?
mdp.39015063923992	Was the girl trying to cook up some tech- nical defense to prove she had not killed Stanton?
mdp.39015063923992	Was the man she had taken for her uncle's butler but a figment of her imagina- tion?
mdp.39015063923992	Was the message particu- larly meant for her?
mdp.39015063923992	Was there a chance of her getting back to Yew Lodge within the hour?
mdp.39015063923992	Well, Miss Prescott, how be ye?"
mdp.39015063923992	Well, when did you last see him?"
mdp.39015063923992	What became of the man with the hor- rible face?"
mdp.39015063923992	What did Julia mean by not waking her?

mdp.39015063923992	What had his incautious words provoked?
mdp.39015063923992	What has alarmed you?"
mdp.39015063923992	What if she ignored the restriction?
mdp.39015063923992	What insane impulse had inspired her to treasure the hol- ster because it was his?

mdp.39015063923992	What was there about the man to irritate her?
mdp.39015063923992	What would you like?"
mdp.39015063923992	What's dat yo'say?"
mdp.39015063923992	When did you get here?"
mdp.39015063923992	When do you think her case will come up?
mdp.39015063923992	Where are you staying?"
mdp.39015063923992	Where are you? ”"Here I be!"
mdp.39015063923992	Where had she put the automatic pistol?
mdp.39015063923992	Where had she put the pistol?
mdp.39015063923992	Which do you mean?"
mdp.39015063923992	Which, if either, had changed position?
mdp.39015063923992	Who had placed the arrow on the margin calling attention to that underscored passage?
mdp.39015063923992	Who looked after him if his valet was n't there?"
mdp.39015063923992	Who, then, was fumbling about for a torch, also?
mdp.39015063923992	Whom had Mr. Chase suggested?
mdp.39015063923992	Why did you shoot him?"
mdp.39015063923992	Why should it?"
mdp.39015063923992	Why was she so anxious to meet Sun- down?
mdp.39015063923992	Why were you behind them, Julia?"
mdp.39015063923992	Why worry over the coin's shiny appearance?
mdp.39015063923992	Why, then, was it so securely padlocked and bolted on the outside?"
mdp.39015063923992	Why, why did n't Miss Peggy admit her?
mdp.39015063923992	Will you come inside?"
mdp.39015063923992	Wo n't you have a cup of coffee?"
mdp.39015063923992	Would the down- pour never cease?
mdp.39015063923992	Would you care if I went down and looked?"
mdp.39015063923992	You have n't,"a faint twinkle in his eye,"a family feud, by chance?"
mdp.39015063923992	and, as her voice gained strength;"Is the snake dead? ” 263 The Enigma Solved Julia, at the head of the couch, capsized into the nearest chair.
mdp.39015063923992	broke in Chase;"Antonio, the Filipino?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Ain'I got eyes in de back ob mah head? ” Then she sobered.
mdp.39015063923992	“ And said I was to be sure and bring her gun —""Her gun? ” repeated Obadiah, with rising in- tonation.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Are you sure, son? ” and with his free hand he wiped the moisture from his forehead.
mdp.39015063923992	“ But Jim, what about Phi- lander Chase?
mdp.39015063923992	“ But suppose Sundown regards Miss Prescott as an interloper?
mdp.39015063923992	“ But you, Julia, ” with a keenly penetrating look; “ had n't you better return to bed?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ By moonlight"“ Then you did not recognize the intruder?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Chickens? ” he suggested and she nodded a quick assent.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Did he jimmy his way in?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Did you get Mr. Philander Chase on the tele- phone?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Did you speak?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Do you know why Prescott did not wish his niece to be absent from Yew Lodge over an hour at a time?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Don'yo'feel well, honey? ”.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Had you ever seen Lieutenant Stanton other than that one time when he passed us on horseback on the Milton road? ” “ Yassum- lots ob times."
mdp.39015063923992	“ Have sight- seers badgered Miss Prescott?
mdp.39015063923992	“ He was at Front Royal befo'yo'Ma an'Pa cum dar- it wuz'bout de fust year ob de Wah. ” “ What was he doing there?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ How come you are alone? ” asked Beach.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Is Miss Prescott plan- ning to skip bail? ”"Nope. ” Obadiah puffed at his pipe for a second.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Is that asking too much? ” Obadiah's shrewd glance left her and centered on Jim, returning from opening the gate.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Is there no way to trace the securities? ”.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Now, Miss Peggy, don'git excited an'I'll explain. ” “ Go on; was he here and you did n't tell me?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Oh, Mr. Chase, what does it mean?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Then what in tarnation ails you? ” he demanded with some heat.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Was he staying at Phelp's Tavern?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Well, what'll we talk about- Miss Prescott?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ What ails you lately?
mdp.39015063923992	“ What for? ”.
mdp.39015063923992	“ What time was this? ” questioned the sheriff.
mdp.39015063923992	“ What's wanted?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Where in tarnation is that lantern?"
mdp.39015063923992	“ Why does any one shoot a burglar? ” Peggy moistened her dry lips.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Why fo'is he keepin'yo'hyar wid nobuddy but me'roun'?
mdp.39015063923992	“ Why was n't the will published in the newspapers? ” “ I have n't an idea.
mdp.39015063923992	“ Wildly? ” repeated Beach sarcastically.
mdp.39015063923992	“ You say you mistook Stanton for a burglar? ”"I took him for a burglar, ” she corrected swiftly.
mdp.39076002720238	- There came a slight exclamation, then — “ Who is it speaking, please? ” “ Rodman Warrington, of New York, sir. ” “ Ah!
mdp.39076002720238	Are you satisfied now, Jack? ” “ Unquestionably so, sir; and I thank you very much for telling me this.
mdp.39076002720238	Casper Herriott? ” he asked, when he heard some one handling the receiver after the house operator had heard his polite request.
mdp.39076002720238	Did I do the right thing Boss, tell me? ” Jack smiled amiably again.
mdp.39076002720238	Do you feel the utmost confidence in his honesty, sir?
mdp.39076002720238	Get it now, do you, old pal? ” “ Gosh!

mdp.39076002720238	You say there were several speed boats and launches fast to the sides of the big freighters, when you glimpsed them?

mdp.39076002720238	“ Cousin Casper Herriott? ” continued Jack, a bit mischievously.
mdp.39076002720238	“ How about it, partner — anything happened since I left? ” Jack asked softly, after he had again turned the key in the lock.
mdp.39076002720238	“ What dye reckons, suh, it ’d mean? ” he asked in turn.
mdp.39076002720238	“ Where do we go from here, Mister? ”.

mdp.39015055054244	And by the way, where's Kate? mdp.39015055054244 And did n't the mill give you anything?"
mdp.39015055054244	And do n't you know?
mdp.39015055054244	And if he does n't, what happens to him?
mdp.39015055054244	And is n't bein'a stockholder bad enough? mdp.39015055054244 And that's distribution, is it?
mdp.39015055054244	And what caused her to lose her hand?
mdp.39015055054244	And what did Mr. Shortridge say by way of an- swer, father?
mdp.39015055054244	And what did Olga say?
mdp.39015055054244	And what do they do with their wages that they live this way?
mdp.39015055054244	And what is it that's to be particularly talked of this morning?
mdp.39015055054244	And what — what does Olga know?
mdp.39015055054244	And what,inquired Richardson,"what was your husband's occupation?"
mdp.39015055054244	And when?
mdp.39015055054244	And why — why should n't I take you there my- self?
mdp.39015055054244	And you too, mother, this Sunday morning?
mdp.39015055054244	And your husband?
mdp.39015055054244	Angry? mdp.39015055054244 Another Scotch?
mdp.39015055054244	Another cent besides the one they asked first?
mdp.39015055054244	Another hemorrhage?
mdp.39015055054244	Are you getting too proud, John, to talk to your brother?
mdp.39015055054244	Are you going to sign that, Hagan? mdp.39015055054244 Are you going to stand there arguing with me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you making fun of me?
mdp.39015055054244	Are you still worried about his cough, John?
mdp.39015055054244	Arrest Locksport?
mdp.39015055054244	Arrest Severn?
mdp.39015055054244	At least lighten the burdens of the multitude —"By Socialism?
mdp.39015055054244	Aw, what's the matter with you? mdp.39015055054244 Blind?"
mdp.39015055054244	But there's nothing more important, John, than this business, is there? mdp.39015055054244 But what do the injured men do?"
mdp.39015055054244	But who takes care of them when they're hurt?
mdp.39015055054244	But who's to take me?
mdp.39015055054244	But you can stop her — you will stop her from talk- ing, too, wo n't you?
mdp.39015055054244	But you do n't mean, do you, father, to let him have his own way and make you give whatever orders he fancies?
mdp.39015055054244	But you do n't want me to discharge Nora, that I've had eight years, simply because she ca n't get along with that man Wattles?
mdp.39015055054244	But you wo n't? mdp.39015055054244 But you're not going to say anything — to say any- thing to him, to — to your father, are you?"
mdp.39015055054244	But,said John,"do you know who the plaintiff is?
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't he get Richardson out of town on some busi- ness?
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't you take me — can't you take me to the work- ingmen's part of town again?
mdp.39015055054244	Can I give her anything?
mdp.39015055054244	Can they do anything with him — I mean punish him in any particular way?
mdp.39015055054244	Cloudy? mdp.39015055054244 Coming back at me, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	Could n't you assert your legal rights?
mdp.39015055054244	Dickson's satisfied, is he?
mdp.39015055054244	Did Mrs. Severn explain?
mdp.39015055054244	Did grandmother have anything to say, as she left you at the front door, about him?
mdp.39015055054244	Did he really speak so well?
mdp.39015055054244	Did n't I tell you not to bother me with things like that?
mdp.39015055054244	Did n't Wallowell ask you to dinner, George?
mdp.39015055054244	Did you ask her to take it here?
mdp.39015055054244	Disagreeable things about whom? mdp.39015055054244 Do n't like what?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do n't you see the surly attitude he's taking to- ward me, mother? mdp.39015055054244 Do you blame me?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear me? mdp.39015055054244 Do you hear the —?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear what I say? mdp.39015055054244 Do you hear?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you know who you're talking to?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you like European men?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean it was about me?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean that Wattles said anything to you about me that you did n't like? mdp.39015055054244 Do you mean that you'll stand on technicalities?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean to say that — that you'll let that fel- low defeat us?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean to say you wo n't do everything in your power to aid us?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean to say you'd let her defend such a man?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean to say you'll not get after him?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you really want to go?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you suppose I want to lose him?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you suppose a nice woman like me wants her shoes in the room with the warmth of the feet still in them? mdp.39015055054244 Do you want to see him?"
mdp.39015055054244	Eh? mdp.39015055054244 Even before we met — when you used to see me over the hedge?"
mdp.39015055054244	Family?
mdp.39015055054244	Father's done nothing wrong, has he? mdp.39015055054244 Government ownership?"
mdp.39015055054244	Hagan in the office to- day?
mdp.39015055054244	Hagan, have you lied to me?
mdp.39015055054244	Hagan?
mdp.39015055054244	Have I seen'em? mdp.39015055054244 Have n't they told you?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have n't we got the mayor, have n't we got the police, have n't we got Hagan? mdp.39015055054244 Have they given you a good breakfast?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have you spoken to Mr. Severn about this?
mdp.39015055054244	He ca n't, ca n't he? mdp.39015055054244 He gets out and comes in, as usual?"
mdp.39015055054244	He's a nice one, is n't he? mdp.39015055054244 Ho, you, his it?"
mdp.39015055054244	How about Shortridge?
mdp.39015055054244	How are you getting along with Miriam, Kate?
mdp.39015055054244	How are you, mother?
mdp.39015055054244	How d'ye do, Mrs. Severn? mdp.39015055054244 How did they seem to like it?"
mdp.39015055054244	How did your little girl lose her hand?
mdp.39015055054244	How do I know? mdp.39015055054244 How do you feel this morning?"
mdp.39015055054244	How do you know?
mdp.39015055054244	How long will you be over there, Wallowell?
mdp.39015055054244	How would a nice,'ittle limousine do — nice, new'ittle limousine for papa's baby girl, eh? mdp.39015055054244 How's Mrs. Locksport to- night?
mdp.39015055054244	How?
mdp.39015055054244	How?
mdp.39015055054244	I did n't say that I'd tell it, did I?
mdp.39015055054244	I do n't mean it unkindly now, but what's it all for?
mdp.39015055054244	I do, do I? mdp.39015055054244 I have, have n't I?
mdp.39015055054244	I never said so, did I?
mdp.39015055054244	I'm sure I should, but how could I ever go? mdp.39015055054244 I?
mdp.39015055054244	If I had, I think you'd have heard from me long ago, would n't you? mdp.39015055054244 In my archery costume, too?
mdp.39015055054244	In that little — in that place over there?
mdp.39015055054244	In the tennis- court? mdp.39015055054244 In what way?"
mdp.39015055054244	Is Mr. John Richardson here?
mdp.39015055054244	Is he up?
mdp.39015055054244	Is n't that so, Mr. Sev- ern?
mdp.39015055054244	Is she happy?
mdp.39015055054244	Is that so? mdp.39015055054244 Is there no hope, John, in that strike?
mdp.39015055054244	It'll make fine reading for him in the evening pa- pers, wo n't it, for him and his friends?
mdp.39015055054244	It's a fair Sunday morning, what are you going to do — ■ drive?
mdp.39015055054244	It's so beautiful this evening, is n't it, Mr. Richard- son? mdp.39015055054244 It's very droll in here, is n't it?"

mdp.39015055054244	Looking at you?
mdp.39015055054244	Mamie, what's all this about? mdp.39015055054244 May n't I go with you to the hedge?"
mdp.39015055054244	Me? mdp.39015055054244 Me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Money, or something else?
mdp.39015055054244	Money?
mdp.39015055054244	Mother, you do n't mean that John's having any acquaintance with that Sev- ern girl?
mdp.39015055054244	Mrs. Locksport remains well, I hope?
mdp.39015055054244	Mrs. Severn, ca n't that terrible man, that awful creature, be kept away from this house?
mdp.39015055054244	Much?
mdp.39015055054244	My God, John, what have you been doing? mdp.39015055054244 N — no?
mdp.39015055054244	Next door where?
mdp.39015055054244	No little thing you want father to do for you?
mdp.39015055054244	No word from Hagan of when he is coming back?
mdp.39015055054244	No, but I ca n't do everything; and for that matter, Tom, what were you doing that you did n't try to hurry 132 THIEVES it up yourself? mdp.39015055054244 No?"
mdp.39015055054244	Nora, will you promise me never to speak of this to a living soul?
mdp.39015055054244	Not short of money?
mdp.39015055054244	Not till day after to- morrow?
mdp.39015055054244	Noticed it? mdp.39015055054244 Now, father, did n't Mrs. Severn suggest this just to get rid of me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Now, it's none of my business, of course, but, since you mention that, all I ever said, was that it's his own, the house, and it is, is n't it?
mdp.39015055054244	Now, what do you mean by saying,'so far as you know'? mdp.39015055054244 Oh, Tom,"said his mother,"do n't you see that you're worrying your brother?"
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, buy you one over there — nice,'ittle French car, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, ho, so that's her way, is it? mdp.39015055054244 Oh, how d'ye do, Miss Kate?"
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, she was, was she? mdp.39015055054244 Oh, that mortgage?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, that's it, is it — you expect to get it, eh? mdp.39015055054244 Oh, ye call me that, do ye, mum?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, yes, and thinks —"Well, why do n't you tell me?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, you wished to see Miss Kate privately?
mdp.39015055054244	Over where?
mdp.39015055054244	Pain?
mdp.39015055054244	Paris?
mdp.39015055054244	Promise me that, Kate, wo n't you?
mdp.39015055054244	Protect me?
mdp.39015055054244	Really? mdp.39015055054244 Really?"
mdp.39015055054244	Really?
mdp.39015055054244	Revolution?
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson? mdp.39015055054244 Same old pains?"
mdp.39015055054244	Severn, too?
mdp.39015055054244	She's still here, is n't she?
mdp.39015055054244	Sleep well?
mdp.39015055054244	Smoky City Trust Company?
mdp.39015055054244	So he does n't know yet that I'm here?
mdp.39015055054244	So she started that subject, did she?
mdp.39015055054244	So that's your game, is it? mdp.39015055054244 So you like these new clothes?"
mdp.39015055054244	So? mdp.39015055054244 Some Italian preparation?"
mdp.39015055054244	Suppose I walk with you, if you'll permit me?
mdp.39015055054244	Suppose Kate objects?
mdp.39015055054244	Talking to him, you mean — sitting there with him? mdp.39015055054244 That cottage?
mdp.39015055054244	That man,she said,"he's gone, has he, and left you that paper?
mdp.39015055054244	That sounds fine, does n't it? mdp.39015055054244 That's the gentleman, is it?"
mdp.39015055054244	The mortgage on the house here's due soon, is n't it?
mdp.39015055054244	The one that I spoke to you about?
mdp.39015055054244	The one that just went out? mdp.39015055054244 The other errand is n't to see you, is it, Nora?"
mdp.39015055054244	Then what harm in saying whether you will or will not do a thing in accordance with the law?
mdp.39015055054244	Then you will, wo n't you?
mdp.39015055054244	Then, what's all this talk for? mdp.39015055054244 Then, why did n't you wait, John, until I re- turned?"
mdp.39015055054244	Thin do n't ye know? mdp.39015055054244 To Europe?"
mdp.39015055054244	Twenty thousand?
mdp.39015055054244	Two thousand dollars for a purse, Miss Severn?
mdp.39015055054244	Want to meet him yourself?
mdp.39015055054244	Was there a large crowd, Nora?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, I proved it, did n't I? mdp.39015055054244 Well, I'm not to try it, am I?"
mdp.39015055054244	Well, but did you get out of him anything regard- ing the strike situation?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, but to whom did you sell it?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, father, I am glad, and it was very sweet of you, but — let me think this over, wo n't you?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, has he got one?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, have you any complaints to make about me, father, and the way I act in this house?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, he pays them, does n't he?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, mum,resumed Nora, happy indeed to have this chance to let off steam,"what do you think the low blackguard said to me with his turned- up nose?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, then?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, they got them, did n't they?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, um — I do n't know whether — shall I, just now, Wallowell?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what about it?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what about this Dago murder case, I say?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what can he do in that office? mdp.39015055054244 Well, what do you know about it?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what does it cost, father?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what else, gentlemen?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what's she done lately to annoy you?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what's the other?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, will you look it up now?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, you can answer me, ca n't you, in a politer tone?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, you'll excuse me, as I said before, John, it's none of my business, none of —"Tom Richardson, have I ever failed in my duty to any man?
mdp.39015055054244	Well,she suggested sweetly,"the next day, or the one after that?"
mdp.39015055054244	Well?
mdp.39015055054244	Well?
mdp.39015055054244	Well?
mdp.39015055054244	What about her, Wattles?
mdp.39015055054244	What about that Dago murder case to- morrow?
mdp.39015055054244	What are ye all gassin'about there?
mdp.39015055054244	What are ye all lookin'at me for that way?
mdp.39015055054244	What are you putting me down there for anything for, if you think I'm so old I'll not live to get it?
mdp.39015055054244	What did he do in the mills, the old man? mdp.39015055054244 What did you and that fellow do down there?"
mdp.39015055054244	What did you do with Mr. Richardson's check that he says he left with you the other day here?
mdp.39015055054244	What did you say to him?
mdp.39015055054244	What do I want with all this? mdp.39015055054244 What do you ask that for, Nora?"
mdp.39015055054244	What do you mean by this talk in this office? mdp.39015055054244 What do you mean, running away from your fa- ther's house?"
mdp.39015055054244	What do you think?
mdp.39015055054244	What do you want with him? mdp.39015055054244 What does Wattles say Nora said?"
mdp.39015055054244	What does he say is probably their move?
mdp.39015055054244	What does she say to you?
mdp.39015055054244	What does she want?
mdp.39015055054244	What in the world have we got to do with pensions?
mdp.39015055054244	What is it, Aunt Emma?
mdp.39015055054244	What kind of a man have you been to keep this thing quiet from me? mdp.39015055054244 What more do they want?
mdp.39015055054244	What papers does he want?
mdp.39015055054244	What sort of thing is this?
mdp.39015055054244	What the devil can be done, though?
mdp.39015055054244	What use have we to be living in a neighborhood like this? mdp.39015055054244 What was it?"
mdp.39015055054244	What was wrong with him?
mdp.39015055054244	What were you doing there?
mdp.39015055054244	What — er — what did her friends do?
mdp.39015055054244	What — um — what did her family do?
mdp.39015055054244	What — what's this?
mdp.39015055054244	What's a Belial?
mdp.39015055054244	What's all this about the girl back here and this fellow Richardson?
mdp.39015055054244	What's all this about?
mdp.39015055054244	What's all this'yes, sir,'and'no, sir,'every time I open my mouth? mdp.39015055054244 What's bail?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's that little house down there for?
mdp.39015055054244	What's that now?
mdp.39015055054244	What's that you say about my mother?
mdp.39015055054244	What's that, mother?
mdp.39015055054244	What's that? mdp.39015055054244 What's that?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's that?
mdp.39015055054244	What's the matter here, Kate?
mdp.39015055054244	What's the matter here?
mdp.39015055054244	What's the matter with you? mdp.39015055054244 What's the use of having me bothered with this affair?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's this Shortridge's been telling me?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this got to do with John?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this new allusion she's hinting at?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this row about here?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this — fresh complications?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this?
mdp.39015055054244	What, for instance?
mdp.39015055054244	What? mdp.39015055054244 What?
mdp.39015055054244	What?
mdp.39015055054244	What?
mdp.39015055054244	What?
mdp.39015055054244	When Mr. Hudson gave the children a million dol- lars apiece?
mdp.39015055054244	When are you going to get rid of this fellow Richardson once for all and for good?
mdp.39015055054244	When did you see him?
mdp.39015055054244	When?
mdp.39015055054244	When?
mdp.39015055054244	When?
mdp.39015055054244	Where do they say he is?
mdp.39015055054244	Where do we all spring from that are here to- night looking so fine, I'd like to know? mdp.39015055054244 Where does he live?"
mdp.39015055054244	Where does he work? mdp.39015055054244 Where shall we meet to- morrow, Mr. Richard- son?"
mdp.39015055054244	Which?
mdp.39015055054244	Who is it?
mdp.39015055054244	Who is this?
mdp.39015055054244	Who was he driving at there?
mdp.39015055054244	Who — Shortridge? mdp.39015055054244 Who's getting — it's distribution, you mean?
mdp.39015055054244	Who, Tom?
mdp.39015055054244	Whom?
mdp.39015055054244	Whose parks are they?
mdp.39015055054244	Why ca n't you two get on better together?
mdp.39015055054244	Why did n't some of you tell me, the other day, that the fellow had a mortgage on the place, a mort- gage of three or four thousand dollars? mdp.39015055054244 Why did n't the younger man have the thing ready for you to- day?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why did n't you put it that way?
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't they have to provide for these injured people?
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't you make Kate get rid of her?
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't you send for him — make him come to see you?
mdp.39015055054244	Why in the devil has n't that cab of mine arrived downstairs? mdp.39015055054244 Why, Hagan, how could we consult you?
mdp.39015055054244	Why, I do n't know — I think, a great deal, Mr. Richardson — do you care to be rich?
mdp.39015055054244	Why, how should I know? mdp.39015055054244 Why, that's his business if he wants to, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why, they belong to the city, of course, but who pays for them except us people with property? mdp.39015055054244 Why, where have ye bin, child?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why?
mdp.39015055054244	Will you stop your bellowing, Wallowell? mdp.39015055054244 Wo n't the company pay at least the funeral ex* penses?"
mdp.39015055054244	Wo n't you join us?
mdp.39015055054244	Wo n't you walk down to the river with us?
mdp.39015055054244	Would n't be sorry, mebbe, if you just ran over that Richardson or his brother sometime?
mdp.39015055054244	Would ye look at this? mdp.39015055054244 Would you like to talk to her yourself?"
mdp.39015055054244	Yes, Aunt Emma, what?
mdp.39015055054244	Yes, but what more can capital do? mdp.39015055054244 Yes, but what's that got to do with us?"
mdp.39015055054244	Yes? mdp.39015055054244 Yes?"
mdp.39015055054244	You can abuse me as you please, can you, because I have to stay here? mdp.39015055054244 You do n't even know how many automobiles you have?"
mdp.39015055054244	You do n't feel worried about this mortgage, do you, John?
mdp.39015055054244	You expect me to go too?
mdp.39015055054244	You protect me? mdp.39015055054244 You read his speech, did you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You thought I'd be stupid enough never to find this all out, did you?
mdp.39015055054244	You will take her yourself?
mdp.39015055054244	You'll be impudent to me, too, will you? mdp.39015055054244 You'll excuse my not getting up, wo n't you?
mdp.39015055054244	You're going to see me again, are you not?
mdp.39015055054244	You're in love, are you, with this skunk down here?
mdp.39015055054244	You're not dying, thin?
mdp.39015055054244	You're quite sure?
mdp.39015055054244	You've had several, then, have you?
mdp.39015055054244	You've lost him?
mdp.39015055054244	Your father?
mdp.39015055054244	Your mother enjoys them, too?
mdp.39015055054244	'Fat and stupid?'
mdp.39015055054244	'Him that lives up near us, Pat?'
mdp.39015055054244	** Nora, you and Pat O'Donnell are sure to be mar- ried next year?"
mdp.39015055054244	16o THIEVES"Mother does n't feel particularly worried either, does she?"
mdp.39015055054244	266 THIEVES"And he's the most reliable, the most secret man in the world?"
mdp.39015055054244	82 THIEVES"What?"
mdp.39015055054244	A hard time last night, was n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	A long walk?"
mdp.39015055054244	About Wat- tles?"
mdp.39015055054244	Against whom?
mdp.39015055054244	Ai n't stockholders responsible for these things?"
mdp.39015055054244	Ai n't ye very sleepy the day?
mdp.39015055054244	All?"
mdp.39015055054244	And at one o'clock you'll'ev?"
mdp.39015055054244	And then we talk about the extravagance of workmen, do we?
mdp.39015055054244	And what were you doing, little Pigtail?"
mdp.39015055054244	And who else knows this?"
mdp.39015055054244	And you, Teddy Hillman, what were you doing the other day but boasting that you were throwing dice for an automobile at every throw?
mdp.39015055054244	And you, there, Mr. Hillman —""What's the matter here?
mdp.39015055054244	Another cup of tea, wo n't you, dear?
mdp.39015055054244	Another lump of sugar?"
mdp.39015055054244	Ap- proached already?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are ye lookin'for things to tell upstairs?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you all happy?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you going to sign it or not?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you going, father?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you mocking me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you ready?"
mdp.39015055054244	Are you reminding me of that?
mdp.39015055054244	Are you surprised, reader, that eminent financiers should propose such villainy?
mdp.39015055054244	As for John, do you blame me for feeling worried about his future?
mdp.39015055054244	As they went up the slope to the house, Mamie Frale inquired:"Who is that man, Kate?"
mdp.39015055054244	Bailed him?
mdp.39015055054244	Been out to lunch, Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	But how could it be accomplished?
mdp.39015055054244	But how could she talk with him?
mdp.39015055054244	But since you speak of the poor, why have n't you ever thought of trying to do something deliberately for them?
mdp.39015055054244	But what of the case?
mdp.39015055054244	But what of the laborers?
mdp.39015055054244	But what was to become of all this sentiment?
mdp.39015055054244	By the way, I suppose you're to get that little legacy soon that your mother left you?
mdp.39015055054244	By the way, where is your room in your — your cottage?"
mdp.39015055054244	CHAPTER VI H, how do you do this morning?"
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't I hold an ordinary conversation with you — can't I ask a question without having my poor consumption thrown in my face?"
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't I see in a minute how a little thing like this might chill him at the wrong time?
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't bear the sight of my daughter?"
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't you both behave yourselves?
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't you see I'm callin'for more coffee there?"
mdp.39015055054244	Ca n't you see it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Cali- fornia?
mdp.39015055054244	Colorado?
mdp.39015055054244	Could you see so well from your house?"
mdp.39015055054244	Crazy to spend it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Dest a'ittle one to its own self, eh?"
mdp.39015055054244	Did you do it all yourself — learn to speak that way and get all your education unaided?"
mdp.39015055054244	Did you tell them about it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Dis- tributed?
mdp.39015055054244	Do n't I want a lawyer to fight?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do n't they intend to leave anything to me?
mdp.39015055054244	Do n't you know enough to take her to Mr. Johnson?
mdp.39015055054244	Do n't you see the unreasonable pride the man's showing to me this minute?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do n't you think, Louise, we've played long enough to- night?
mdp.39015055054244	Do these people want everything?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you carry any such sum?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear me, do you want them?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear me?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear that?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear what I say?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you hear?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you know anything?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you know there's a strike declared this morning at my mills?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you know this John Ray?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you mean, John, that it is n't you that's paid it off?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you re- member the time the Hudsons had that family din- ner?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you see?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you suppose I want ingrates in the house?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you think I'd be leaving you here?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you want any money to get ready with?"
mdp.39015055054244	Do you want my rings and clothes and shoes?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you want my rings?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you want my rings?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you want them?
mdp.39015055054244	Do you want them?
mdp.39015055054244	Does the old man know it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Does this office expect me to attend to everything?"
mdp.39015055054244	Finally the latter resumed:"You're going to sign that, are you, Hagan?"
mdp.39015055054244	Fine day, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Friday morning at eleven, then?"
mdp.39015055054244	Going, did you say, Mrs. Severn?
mdp.39015055054244	Has n't got any bail?"
mdp.39015055054244	Has n't he?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have n't I told you five hundred times that whatever's thrown in the garbage ought to be given to the poor?
mdp.39015055054244	Have n't we got his superior officer in good style?
mdp.39015055054244	Have n't ye eyes and ears?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have n't you any charity in you?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have n't you ever been in the tenement districts?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have you a word to say against her before you leave this house?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have you any objections?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have you ever thought of marrying, John?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have you had any words at all with Wattles lately?"
mdp.39015055054244	Have you seen any of them already?"
mdp.39015055054244	He knows a good thing, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	He was a puddler, was n't he, or something of that sort, about sixty years ago — and maybe a shorter time, was n't it?
mdp.39015055054244	He's a low deserter, is n't he, family or no family?
mdp.39015055054244	Here again the poor girl could say nothing that was perfectly natural, but she inquired:"Has she ever seen me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Here's a silver buckle ye'd left behind —"THIEVES 317"But, Nora, what happened?
mdp.39015055054244	His the coffee ready?"
mdp.39015055054244	How are you, Mrs. Richardson?
mdp.39015055054244	How are you, Tom, yourself?"
mdp.39015055054244	How can I sit down?
mdp.39015055054244	How can she be your wife?
mdp.39015055054244	How could Wallowell Severn's daughter furnish bail to John Richardson and nobody know it?
mdp.39015055054244	How could she hope to meet him?
mdp.39015055054244	How d'ye do, Mr. Severn?
mdp.39015055054244	How dare you talk that way about my mother?"
mdp.39015055054244	How long is this thing going to continue?"
mdp.39015055054244	How soon could I get him?"
mdp.39015055054244	How well our steps go together, do n't they?"
mdp.39015055054244	How would that do — eleven o'clock?"
mdp.39015055054244	How would you like to work one hour to gain one cent?
mdp.39015055054244	How's that pain in your leg now?"
mdp.39015055054244	I fancy I played the game of diplomacy about as smoothly as she did — well, what do you want here, Lucille?
mdp.39015055054244	I guess I generally have 172 THIEVES my way in this house, do n't I, when I feel like it?
mdp.39015055054244	I have n't much 20 THIEVES patience with anybody defending such a whelp, but what's the use of making a mountain out of a mole- hill?"
mdp.39015055054244	I hope you've always been behaving yourself respectfully before her?"
mdp.39015055054244	I just looked around and I said to myself,'See here, George, where's the influence in this town?
mdp.39015055054244	I left my strikebreakers well penned up and the devil a one of them's going to get out of there without my —""Still in there, are they?"
mdp.39015055054244	I say again, I'd like to know who had a right on the track there except me?"
mdp.39015055054244	I was with Pat O'Donnell, him that ye've heard me spake of before, I suppose, and says I,'Pat, what's all this crowd for, up here at the corner?'
mdp.39015055054244	I'm going to see her some day, may I not?"
mdp.39015055054244	I've seen them starving, do you hear?
mdp.39015055054244	If I were a man —""Would you like to be a man?"
mdp.39015055054244	In what way?"
mdp.39015055054244	Is n't Hagan all right?"
mdp.39015055054244	Is n't it lovely?"
mdp.39015055054244	Is n't she going to take lunch with us?"
mdp.39015055054244	Is that all?"
mdp.39015055054244	Is there another woman in this town that's been treated as shabbily as I have?"
mdp.39015055054244	It wo n't do, will it?
mdp.39015055054244	It's about me, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Just a sau- sage or two, was n't it?
mdp.39015055054244	Just you listen, will you?
mdp.39015055054244	Kate up?"
mdp.39015055054244	Let us have THIEVES 16 g these fine things if we will, but out of a federal in- come tax perhaps?
mdp.39015055054244	Let's see — can't we turn this to account?
mdp.39015055054244	Locksport?"
mdp.39015055054244	Lottery?
mdp.39015055054244	Marry?
mdp.39015055054244	May I ask how many automobiles you have?"
mdp.39015055054244	McFadden?"
mdp.39015055054244	McFadden?"
mdp.39015055054244	McFadden?"
mdp.39015055054244	McFadden?"
mdp.39015055054244	McFadden?"
mdp.39015055054244	Meadville?
mdp.39015055054244	More comfortable?
mdp.39015055054244	Mr. Simmons or Mr. Jones back yet from luncheon?"
mdp.39015055054244	Mrs. Mc- Fadden, and you, Biddy, there, what's wrong?
mdp.39015055054244	New one?"
mdp.39015055054244	Not out yet, is he?
mdp.39015055054244	Now that's true, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Now you'll dismiss that, will you, John, right now?"
mdp.39015055054244	Now, what about?"
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, I do, do I?"
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, I have to, have I?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, Miss Severn?"
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, he's trying to make fun of my figure, is he?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, how d'ye do, Simmons?"
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, she was, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	Oh, you think you're smart and brave, do n't you?
mdp.39015055054244	Out of a job, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	Pretty big, John?"
mdp.39015055054244	Pretty cheap, is n't it?
mdp.39015055054244	Pretty?"
mdp.39015055054244	Rheuma- tism?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Richardson?"
mdp.39015055054244	Robinson, I'd like to know what's been done?"
mdp.39015055054244	Say, Biddy, are you never going to bring that ham and eggs?"
mdp.39015055054244	Say, old man, Severn still laid up?
mdp.39015055054244	Severn'?
mdp.39015055054244	Severn?"
mdp.39015055054244	Severn?"
mdp.39015055054244	Severn?"
mdp.39015055054244	Severn?"
mdp.39015055054244	Shall I hook you up?"
mdp.39015055054244	She can influence him, ca n't she?"
mdp.39015055054244	She had wished to deter him from what?
mdp.39015055054244	She was out till two or three last night again, I suppose?"
mdp.39015055054244	She's a good woman, is n't she?"
mdp.39015055054244	She's been the best stepmother any girl ever had and what have you shown her but ingratitude and abuse, impudence and smart little smiles and sniffs?
mdp.39015055054244	Shortridge?"
mdp.39015055054244	Should she herself make it known first by voluntary avowal?
mdp.39015055054244	Sit down?
mdp.39015055054244	So you bailed him out, did you?
mdp.39015055054244	So you'd be off, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	Sputtering and blowing from excitement he surveyed her for a moment and then exclaimed:"So you've been disgracing me, have you?"
mdp.39015055054244	Such a wide lawn, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Suits you well to leave your father's house, does it?
mdp.39015055054244	Suppose Richardson or his friends should make matters worse and involve her own fam- ily?
mdp.39015055054244	Suppose you had it yourself, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	THIEVES 127"Your wife?
mdp.39015055054244	THIEVES 41"And what have you heard,"said the mother,"from Tommy Burns's family?"
mdp.39015055054244	THIEVES"She has n't objected yet, has she?"
mdp.39015055054244	THIEVES"Well?"
mdp.39015055054244	THIEVES"You thought you'd keep on fooling me all the time, did you?'
mdp.39015055054244	Talking to him?"
mdp.39015055054244	Tell me, what assistance did you get in life?
mdp.39015055054244	That is rather a pretty sounding phrase, is n't it now?"
mdp.39015055054244	That is, to thousands of peo- ple?"
mdp.39015055054244	That reminds me — have you been getting ready?"
mdp.39015055054244	That was a great argument, was n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	The coffee just right?
mdp.39015055054244	The next thing was to run away with him, was n't it, eh?
mdp.39015055054244	The strike's on at our mills, too?"
mdp.39015055054244	The wealth of the United States has been increasing by leaps and bounds —""And where has it been going?"
mdp.39015055054244	Then what is it you're driving at?"
mdp.39015055054244	They did n't have you penned up more than three seconds, did they?"
mdp.39015055054244	They have neither the one nor the other, and where are there two sounder countries?"
mdp.39015055054244	Think I'm a National Bank?"
mdp.39015055054244	This indicates, does it not, your Honor, that nothing very grave has happened?
mdp.39015055054244	This is not too fast, is it?"
mdp.39015055054244	This is the cause of all these fine speeches of yours, all this solici- tude about the public welfare, the rights of the poor, and what not, uh?
mdp.39015055054244	This is your office, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055054244	This strike is going to spread to Severn's mills, and —""Well?"
mdp.39015055054244	Uh?"
mdp.39015055054244	Want me to buy it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Want the money at once?"
mdp.39015055054244	Was he hurt?
mdp.39015055054244	Was it reciprocated, to begin with?
mdp.39015055054244	We pay the taxes, do n't we?
mdp.39015055054244	We're> friends, ai n't we?
mdp.39015055054244	Well, if she's your mother she was my wife, was n't she?"
mdp.39015055054244	Well, what do you suggest?"
mdp.39015055054244	Well?"
mdp.39015055054244	What are ye doin'down here at this hour, onyway?
mdp.39015055054244	What are you standing there for?
mdp.39015055054244	What are you talking about?"
mdp.39015055054244	What can a mere deputy do?"
mdp.39015055054244	What could I ever give you in exchange for luxury and beauty?
mdp.39015055054244	What did you do with it?"
mdp.39015055054244	What do I pay you for?
mdp.39015055054244	What do I want of my lawyer?
mdp.39015055054244	What do you call accomplishing something?"
mdp.39015055054244	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015055054244	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015055054244	What do you want, Wallowell?"
mdp.39015055054244	What good is there in binding a brain like yours up to the fickle and ungrateful proletariats?
mdp.39015055054244	What had she ever heard from him except worldly pretense and schemes of social and business advancement?
mdp.39015055054244	What happened between you, Tom?"
mdp.39015055054244	What has been done, then, these forty years for the working people?
mdp.39015055054244	What have they been doing?"
mdp.39015055054244	What have you said to him?"
mdp.39015055054244	What in the world could the Smoky City people mean?
mdp.39015055054244	What is it 264 THIEVES"Are you going over?
mdp.39015055054244	What is it that they complain of in him?
mdp.39015055054244	What is it to me but wretchedness here every day?
mdp.39015055054244	What is it, John, what's in that paper?"
mdp.39015055054244	What is it, Johnson?"
mdp.39015055054244	What is their relief?
mdp.39015055054244	What kind of a training have you had, you blockhead?"
mdp.39015055054244	What kind of treatment have you ever given me?
mdp.39015055054244	What makes you so blue?"
mdp.39015055054244	What maxims of high and honorable conduct had she ever THIEVES 103 heard from his lips?
mdp.39015055054244	What papers do you want, boy?"
mdp.39015055054244	What right has any one —""To force you into a marriage?
mdp.39015055054244	What right has he?
mdp.39015055054244	What sort of character had this father displayed in their ride the day before?
mdp.39015055054244	What success did you have with that fellow, Shortridge?"
mdp.39015055054244	What was left but that she protect him?
mdp.39015055054244	What was this last argu- ment, or whatever you call it, about?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's 256 THIEVES all this bully- ragging about here?
mdp.39015055054244	What's been done about this mat- ter of Mr. Locksport's arrest since I put the thing in your hands on Monday morning?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's it all about?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's that about her reputation?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's the matter here?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's the matter, John?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's the use of running away in this foolish fashion?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's this Short- ridge's been telling me?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this new tantrum about?
mdp.39015055054244	What's this you've been keep- ing from me?"
mdp.39015055054244	What's wrong with her?
mdp.39015055054244	What's wrong?"
mdp.39015055054244	What, do you suppose, is in his thoughts?"
mdp.39015055054244	What, then, must she apprehend from the loose- mouthed maid?
mdp.39015055054244	When did you resolve on this, Wallo- well?"
mdp.39015055054244	When is it you think you may go?"
mdp.39015055054244	Where is she?
mdp.39015055054244	Where were you last night?
mdp.39015055054244	Where will the blame go?
mdp.39015055054244	Where's Miss Kate now, I till ye?"
mdp.39015055054244	Where's my car?
mdp.39015055054244	Where, alas, is that equality now?
mdp.39015055054244	Where?"
mdp.39015055054244	Who are the THIEVES 55 big people?'
mdp.39015055054244	Who else?"
mdp.39015055054244	Who is it?

mdp.39015055054244	Who's that with him?"
mdp.39015055054244	Whom?"
mdp.39015055054244	Whose is it?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why did n't you break in and give him a slap or two?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't they pay'em them- selves?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't you call her Miriam, or something less stiff?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't you get out when I tell you to?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't you go outside there now and tell that girl to pack up her things and leave us?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why do n't you treat him as you treat me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why does n't Congress take our expenses of fighting strikes into consideration in estimating the cost of production under the tariff?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why in the world are you always worrying about some false alarm or other?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why not?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why should I leave you here?"
mdp.39015055054244	Why should I?
mdp.39015055054244	Why, woman, what do you mean?
mdp.39015055054244	Will I forgive him?"
mdp.39015055054244	Would he be there again?
mdp.39015055054244	Would ye look at the beautiful bilt she's jist been givin'me?"
mdp.39015055054244	Would you ruin a woman's life?
mdp.39015055054244	Yes, do you want them?
mdp.39015055054244	You can stand her a few days again, ca n't you, and then go abroad respectably, avoiding her all you can till you marry?"
mdp.39015055054244	You do n't intend to force me?"
mdp.39015055054244	You do n't want to kill him, do you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You have n't repented of your little enterprise?"
mdp.39015055054244	You know Dickson — probably talked with him, did n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You know Mr. Shortridge here, do n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You know she's a good woman, do n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You know that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You live — you're a stranger?"
mdp.39015055054244	You take the position, do you, that there's no necessity of exerting whatever little influence you have?"
mdp.39015055054244	You were annoyed, Tom, were n't you, when I happened to ejaculate Miss Sev- ern's name at the telephone this morning?"
mdp.39015055054244	You'll forgive me, John, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You'll have one, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You'll make her give that back to me, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You'll not let him interfere, John?"
mdp.39015055054244	You've been disgracing me, have you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You've been doing very well, have n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You've begun to censure me, have n't you?"
mdp.39015055054244	You?
mdp.39015055054244	Your father has given you his decision in this matter and I suppose you've communicated it to her, have you?"
mdp.39015055054244	Your silence now tells me that and why should I ask for more?
mdp.39015055054244	go THIEVES"What kind?"
mdp.39015055054244	not dying?"
mdp.39015055054244	that's what you're thinkin'about, is it?
mdp.39015055054244	would ye be tellin'in whose room ye dropped this?"
mdp.39015055054244	would ye just put your eye on that?
mdp.39015055054244	•^"Oh, you are, are you?
mdp.39015063754173	About who did it?
mdp.39015063754173	Agenda? mdp.39015063754173 Ah, you had a letter from the War Office?"
mdp.39015063754173	All tenders, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	And Hinde, sir? mdp.39015063754173 And disposal of old uniforms when a new lot's issued?"
mdp.39015063754173	And fired from straight in front?
mdp.39015063754173	And he got through you, eh? mdp.39015063754173 And that he was killed?"
mdp.39015063754173	And the Brodshire report was that Exhibit 2 — the sound bullet — was fired from this pistol?
mdp.39015063754173	And the shots were at 5.20?
mdp.39015063754173	And they could identify the bodies?
mdp.39015063754173	And what time would that be?
mdp.39015063754173	And what was the regiment he joined; d'you remember that?
mdp.39015063754173	And where d'you think he's got to?
mdp.39015063754173	And yet you were his sister- in- law?
mdp.39015063754173	And you had a letter from the War Office announcing the death of John Harris?
mdp.39015063754173	And you knew this all the time you were supposed to be hunting for him?
mdp.39015063754173	And you're quite certain about it?
mdp.39015063754173	And you've no idea what it was? mdp.39015063754173 And you've traced him to London, and London has lost him?"
mdp.39015063754173	Any idea how it happened?
mdp.39015063754173	Any objection? mdp.39015063754173 Any of the police?
mdp.39015063754173	Anything I can help with, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Anything more?
mdp.39015063754173	Apart from being nervous, did it ever strike you that your father was worried — as if anything serious was troubling him?
mdp.39015063754173	Are you a detective?
mdp.39015063754173	Are you suggesting that the Chief invented the whole story?
mdp.39015063754173	Better have a look at him, sir, had n't we?
mdp.39015063754173	Big enough?
mdp.39015063754173	But Hinde? mdp.39015063754173 But do n't you want him to find out who killed the poor Captain?"
mdp.39015063754173	But if he came in through the door, Captain Scole would hardly have let him walk right across the room to the front of his table? mdp.39015063754173 But what can that have to do with the case?"
mdp.39015063754173	But, good God, man, what would the Captain be doing to let him do that?
mdp.39015063754173	Can I have a word with you, sir, please?
mdp.39015063754173	Can you let me have them?
mdp.39015063754173	Can you oblige me with a match, sir? mdp.39015063754173 Charged?"
mdp.39015063754173	Coming to lunch?
mdp.39015063754173	D'you agree that he's hiding in the woods some- where?
mdp.39015063754173	D'you agree with their theory?
mdp.39015063754173	D'you mind that?
mdp.39015063754173	D'you think so?
mdp.39015063754173	Depends on the provocation, does n't it?
mdp.39015063754173	Did I? mdp.39015063754173 Did he seem to take it seriously?
mdp.39015063754173	Did n't notice the clock or anything?
mdp.39015063754173	Did you doubt it, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Did you gather that Hinde told Captain Scole who he was, or did he recognise him — after twenty years?
mdp.39015063754173	Did your father tell you anything about meeting this man Hinde on the Wednesday evening before... before he was killed?
mdp.39015063754173	Do I look very stupid?
mdp.39015063754173	Do you mean live here?
mdp.39015063754173	Do you mind telling me what you did about that, sir — about finding Hinde?
mdp.39015063754173	Do you?
mdp.39015063754173	Does that subway lead anywhere else except up onto the'Up'platform?
mdp.39015063754173	Eh? mdp.39015063754173 Excuse me, sir"he said,"but were these two men, Hinde and Powling, with you then?"
mdp.39015063754173	From the moment I came back to duty, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Good God I Good God I What are you saying, man?'' mdp.39015063754173 Got him?
mdp.39015063754173	Harris?
mdp.39015063754173	Have we met before, Inspector?
mdp.39015063754173	He did n't appear nervous?
mdp.39015063754173	He thought that, eh, did he?
mdp.39015063754173	He was n't very well off, I suppose?
mdp.39015063754173	Hinde? mdp.39015063754173 His hand?
mdp.39015063754173	How d'you get hold of this?
mdp.39015063754173	How d'you know that?
mdp.39015063754173	How d'you mean?
mdp.39015063754173	How d'you mean?
mdp.39015063754173	How did the man get in here, though?
mdp.39015063754173	How did we come to hear about it? mdp.39015063754173 How did you hear that?"
mdp.39015063754173	How long did that take you? mdp.39015063754173 How tall was he?"
mdp.39015063754173	How would it be, he asked cautiously,"to write an anonymous letter to Scotland Yard?"
mdp.39015063754173	Hullo, young fellow; you've been taking a long week- end, eh?
mdp.39015063754173	I do n't doubt he went up the way I went up, but how did you come down off the roof?
mdp.39015063754173	I mean, did he give you an exact description of Hinde? mdp.39015063754173 I suppose you were on the look- out for him?"
mdp.39015063754173	I suppose you'll put in for it?
mdp.39015063754173	I take it you want me to tell you things?
mdp.39015063754173	I thought you said he did n't want people to know about these threats?
mdp.39015063754173	I thought you said not more than three feet, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	I'll do as you tell me, sir, of course, he said,"but do n't you think there's a simpler way than that?"
mdp.39015063754173	I'm to be butchered to make an unemployed holiday, am I?
mdp.39015063754173	If Hinde was going to blackmail the Chief, why did he kill him?
mdp.39015063754173	If you want to find out, sir, can you get a specimen of the handwriting of each of your employees?
mdp.39015063754173	If you're not too busy, perhaps you'd like to hear my report on this man, Albert Hinde? mdp.39015063754173 Impersonation?!"
mdp.39015063754173	In what way can I help you?
mdp.39015063754173	Inspector Parry, or Sergeant Bannister?
mdp.39015063754173	Inspector Poole wants to know how the news of Hinde's death reached us, said Major Prenderton;"officially, or privately?"
mdp.39015063754173	Inspector Tallard, sir; is he one?
mdp.39015063754173	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063754173	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063754173	Is it an error that might easily be made by someone with a sprink- ling of knowledge but without great experience?
mdp.39015063754173	Is it certain that Harris was killed? mdp.39015063754173 Is n't it curious that Mrs. Hinde should be the sister- in- law of a man called... by the way, what was he called?"
mdp.39015063754173	Is your heartburn worrying you, dear?
mdp.39015063754173	It would be difficult for anyone else to find the things, I suppose?
mdp.39015063754173	Just exactly where was that?
mdp.39015063754173	Like to ask him about it?
mdp.39015063754173	Lord, what'll I be forgetting next?
mdp.39015063754173	Man must be in the building, sir, or on the roof; shall I search for him?
mdp.39015063754173	Motive, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Mr. Jason, can you remember anything about that young John Hinde and the other fellow, Powling, being killed? mdp.39015063754173 Mr. Jason, do you keep old tenders?
mdp.39015063754173	Name, sir? mdp.39015063754173 No harm, perhaps, but what good?"
mdp.39015063754173	No more news in about this fellow Hinde?
mdp.39015063754173	No more questions?
mdp.39015063754173	Not asked to? mdp.39015063754173 Of course; what d'you mean?"
mdp.39015063754173	Oh? mdp.39015063754173 Oh?
mdp.39015063754173	Perhaps there ought to be an Assistant Commis- sioner in each county, eh? mdp.39015063754173 Posted the letters, Charlie?"
mdp.39015063754173	Really, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	References?
mdp.39015063754173	Reward?
mdp.39015063754173	Right; then ask him to send out notices of a special meeting for Thursday week at 10 a.m."What about the agenda, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Scotland Yard sent a man down yet?
mdp.39015063754173	Simpler way of what?
mdp.39015063754173	Such as?
mdp.39015063754173	Suggestion, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Supplying photographs? mdp.39015063754173 Sure it's true?"
mdp.39015063754173	Surely you do n't take this fellow Hinde seriously?
mdp.39015063754173	Tenders, sir? mdp.39015063754173 That might be a very good way of doing it, do n't you think, Mr. Vardell?
mdp.39015063754173	That old blighter been shooting his mouth 196 DEAD HAN'S SHOES again?
mdp.39015063754173	That was what I was going to ask you about, sir; do you know any particulars?
mdp.39015063754173	That would be at 5.10 or 5.15 then, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	That you, Inspector Tallard?
mdp.39015063754173	That you, Mr. Poole?
mdp.39015063754173	The same name as your husband took when he signed on in the Tilford Queen?
mdp.39015063754173	The store- room? mdp.39015063754173 Then there's nothing you can suggest?"
mdp.39015063754173	Then your brother- in- law had given your name as his next- of- kin?
mdp.39015063754173	There were three altogether, were n't there?
mdp.39015063754173	These pistols eject automatically as they're fired, do n't they, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	Together, eh?
mdp.39015063754173	Unless it was Hinde, you mean?
mdp.39015063754173	Was his thumb on the trigger?
mdp.39015063754173	Was it addressed to you or to your husband?
mdp.39015063754173	Was n't I comin'to that? mdp.39015063754173 Was n't I comin'to that?"
mdp.39015063754173	Was there time, d'you think, sir? mdp.39015063754173 Well, I climbed up the water- pipe, but how did you get on to the roof, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	Well, I do n't know that we need keep Mr. Westing any longer, need we?
mdp.39015063754173	Well, the Chief Constable's dead, is n't he? mdp.39015063754173 Well, what happened next?"
mdp.39015063754173	Well?'' mdp.39015063754173 Were you in the Brodshires?
mdp.39015063754173	Were you?
mdp.39015063754173	What about fines inflicted in court? mdp.39015063754173 What about it, eh?"
mdp.39015063754173	What about that, Haling? mdp.39015063754173 What became of the others?"
mdp.39015063754173	What d'you make of this?
mdp.39015063754173	What d'you mean?
mdp.39015063754173	What d'you mean?
mdp.39015063754173	What did you make of that, sir — what Captain Scole had written? mdp.39015063754173 What does Superintendent Venning say?"
mdp.39015063754173	What for?
mdp.39015063754173	What have you done? mdp.39015063754173 What is your trouble, my lad?"
mdp.39015063754173	What man?
mdp.39015063754173	What other indications? mdp.39015063754173 What scandal, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	What sort of a man? mdp.39015063754173 What was his voice like?"
mdp.39015063754173	What was that, Mr. Jason?
mdp.39015063754173	What's he got to say about blackmail?
mdp.39015063754173	What's that? mdp.39015063754173 What's that?"
mdp.39015063754173	What's that?
mdp.39015063754173	What's that?
mdp.39015063754173	What's the point of all this?
mdp.39015063754173	What's this about blackmail?
mdp.39015063754173	What's this? mdp.39015063754173 What's your idea?
mdp.39015063754173	What? mdp.39015063754173 What?"
mdp.39015063754173	When was it you asked Tallard about it? mdp.39015063754173 Where did you meet this man?"
mdp.39015063754173	Where was that?
mdp.39015063754173	Where's the boy who brought this?
mdp.39015063754173	Where?
mdp.39015063754173	Which shell was which, do you suppose?
mdp.39015063754173	Whisky is it?
mdp.39015063754173	Who are you? mdp.39015063754173 Who does he think killed him?"
mdp.39015063754173	Who made that report? mdp.39015063754173 Who sends out notices of Standing Joint Com- mittee meetings?"
mdp.39015063754173	Who's acting? mdp.39015063754173 Why was he looking in?
mdp.39015063754173	Will that subway take me through to the place where the Brodbury bus starts?
mdp.39015063754173	Would you have his record — measurements and so on — when he left?
mdp.39015063754173	Yes, sir, Coroner's warrant, he said; then, after another interval of listening:"D'you want me to go, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	You ca n't describe anything about him that does n't show in the pictures?
mdp.39015063754173	You can swear to that?
mdp.39015063754173	You did n't see him last night, did you?
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't mind my interrupting?
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't say that?
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't think he was trying to get in at this window and Scole shot at him and missed, and was shot before he could fire again?
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't want me to come down the water- pipe to this window, then, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	You got that far, did you? mdp.39015063754173 You have n't seen his solicitor, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	You knew that when he was discharged from Pentworth he enlisted and fought in the War?
mdp.39015063754173	You know of Superintendent Venning's sug- gestion?
mdp.39015063754173	You mean... it did n't? mdp.39015063754173 You said the boy came from Petsham, did n't you?
mdp.39015063754173	You think Hinde means business?
mdp.39015063754173	You think I'm making an unnecessary fuss about my own skin?
mdp.39015063754173	You think he can be found?
mdp.39015063754173	You think he's a fool, eh — rather than a knave?
mdp.39015063754173	You think that was done by someone the Chief Constable was going to expose, do n't you?
mdp.39015063754173	You want a car? mdp.39015063754173 You wanted to speak to me?"
mdp.39015063754173	You were serving, of course, when Hinde was tried?
mdp.39015063754173	You were? mdp.39015063754173 You're satisfied that it was Hinde who did it?"
mdp.39015063754173	You've got a boy called Wissel, have n't you, Mr. Boulding? mdp.39015063754173 You've no other reason for saying half- past, Mr. Jason?"
mdp.39015063754173	You've read it, of course?
mdp.39015063754173	Your door, sir?
mdp.39015063754173	''Spit?"
mdp.39015063754173	'05,'06?"
mdp.39015063754173	'How d'you know that?'
mdp.39015063754173	'No man can serve two masterseh?
mdp.39015063754173	'P'raps not, but how do we know who wrote it or who gave it to Wissel?
mdp.39015063754173	'Well, what about the boy that brought the note?'
mdp.39015063754173	'You're on the same line as I am', says I;'mighty convenient this talk about an ex- convict, but where's he got to?

mdp.39015063754173	17 CONSTABLE GUARD IHTlILlI"What does he mean by that last bit, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	234 CHAPTER XXI THE OLD SOLDIER TALKS"And then he was killed, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	248 WOOLHAM AGAIN"To what name was it addressed?"
mdp.39015063754173	25 CHAPTER in HEADQUARTERS"What's that constable doing down in the waiting- room?"
mdp.39015063754173	26 HEADQUARTERS"This Adelphi melodrama touch — sentries all over the place — was that your bright idea?"
mdp.39015063754173	35 CONSTABLE GUARD THYSELF"You're not getting worried about this man Hinde, are you, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	54 FIVE PEE CENT"Is it my husband?
mdp.39015063754173	A click, and the voice of Chief Constable Thurston:"Poole?
mdp.39015063754173	A local gunsmith?"
mdp.39015063754173	Above all, if he was going to kill Captain Scole, why did n't he do it when he waylaid him in Brodley Woods?"
mdp.39015063754173	After the murder?"
mdp.39015063754173	Again, how?
mdp.39015063754173	Aloud he said:"Your father preferred a horse?"
mdp.39015063754173	And I'll stay here till I hear from you?"
mdp.39015063754173	And a bigger flea on his back?
mdp.39015063754173	And after all, where did this idea of impersonation come from?
mdp.39015063754173	And inevitably, why had Scotland Yard not been called in?
mdp.39015063754173	And what about the injustice to Albert Hinde, thought Poole, allowing this suspicion to hang over him, perhaps driving him out of the country?
mdp.39015063754173	And what did you do then?"
mdp.39015063754173	And what opportunities of pistol practice had Albert Hinde had during his twenty years'imprison- ment?
mdp.39015063754173	And you saw nothing unusual either when you went across to Mr. Jason's room or when you left it?
mdp.39015063754173	And your door was opened, Mr. Jason, five or ten minutes before that?"
mdp.39015063754173	Any signs of him?"
mdp.39015063754173	Apart from this question of motive, what made you think he killed himself?"
mdp.39015063754173	Asleep?
mdp.39015063754173	Bannister; is he that smart- looking sergeant in the Central Division?"
mdp.39015063754173	Beauchamps?"
mdp.39015063754173	But had he fired at all?
mdp.39015063754173	But how had he done it, how had he overcome those apparently insuperable difficulties?
mdp.39015063754173	But how was he to establish the fact that this really had been Hinde? — the boy would now simply recognize and swear to the pictures.
mdp.39015063754173	But if Hinde had effected this exchange, what had become of him afterwards and what was his identity now?
mdp.39015063754173	But was that all?
mdp.39015063754173	But why all this talk about silencers?
mdp.39015063754173	But — that is n't 127 CONTRACTS"What have you got in your mind?"
mdp.39015063754173	But... is there such a possibility in Brodshire?"
mdp.39015063754173	By the way, you have n't any news of this man Hinde, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063754173	Ca n't you exercise your authority, Playhurst?"
mdp.39015063754173	Came in just before, I think, did n't he?
mdp.39015063754173	Can you wonder that Hinde's had it in for him all these years?"
mdp.39015063754173	Charged him with loitering?"
mdp.39015063754173	Could he have got round from the little yard to the charge room without coming into the Headquarters part of the building?"
mdp.39015063754173	Could the man have got out of the passage window, or the Chief's window?"
mdp.39015063754173	Could the real shots have been fired through a silenced pistol at some other, earlier time?
mdp.39015063754173	Could you send someone to Petsham?
mdp.39015063754173	D'you know his father?
mdp.39015063754173	Did it tally with Wissel's description and with the official description?"
mdp.39015063754173	Did n't he do in the Chief Constable of Brodshire?"
mdp.39015063754173	Did you get the news officially or privately or out of the papers, or how?"
mdp.39015063754173	Did you open it and not come in?"
mdp.39015063754173	Do n't they know about it?
mdp.39015063754173	Do you know about Inspector Tallard or Inspector Parry?"
mdp.39015063754173	Do you know anything about it?"
mdp.39015063754173	Does it want an answer?"
mdp.39015063754173	Does that fit the description we got from Chassex, Tallard?"
mdp.39015063754173	Down the water- pipe?
mdp.39015063754173	For him to have got down the pipe and round into the charge room before you came across from your house?"
mdp.39015063754173	For instance, are you sure it was his pistol?"
mdp.39015063754173	Friday, loth November?
mdp.39015063754173	From the passage, perhaps, at the top of the stairs?
mdp.39015063754173	Good God, did I?
mdp.39015063754173	Got a magnifying glass and a torch?"
mdp.39015063754173	Got your book?"
mdp.39015063754173	Gower?"
mdp.39015063754173	Gower?"
mdp.39015063754173	Had both the bullets been fired from the murderer's pistol?
mdp.39015063754173	Have n't you reported?"
mdp.39015063754173	Have you got your car here, Cawdon, or can I give you a lift?"
mdp.39015063754173	Have you?"
mdp.39015063754173	He'll be in any time now; could the boy come back and report?
mdp.39015063754173	Hinde was a bit above your height, doctor; would you mind standing the other side of the table, about where you think the shot was fired from?"
mdp.39015063754173	His study at'Horstings,'then?
mdp.39015063754173	How can he be charged?
mdp.39015063754173	How could that be done?
mdp.39015063754173	How did Mrs. Scole take the news?"
mdp.39015063754173	How did we hear?"
mdp.39015063754173	How did you come to serve under me if you were n't in the Regiment?"
mdp.39015063754173	How did you get on to him?"
mdp.39015063754173	How do we know this Hinde story is n't all cock and bull to hide something else?
mdp.39015063754173	How had Captain Scole 126 CONTRACTS got his information from Smith?
mdp.39015063754173	How long are we going to be surrounded by your cordon?"
mdp.39015063754173	How was that to be done?
mdp.39015063754173	How would it be if I came down and talked to him — gave him the'once over'at the same time?"
mdp.39015063754173	How, man?"
mdp.39015063754173	How?
mdp.39015063754173	I do n't know whether that's 186 CONSTABLE GUARD THYSELFl"Not even the Standing Joint Committee?"
mdp.39015063754173	I do n't know whether you remember the case, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	I mean, did you hear any details?"
mdp.39015063754173	I suppose the Yard have kept that?"
mdp.39015063754173	I take it there's nothing in that?"
mdp.39015063754173	Inspector Poole?
mdp.39015063754173	Into the passage and down the stairs, or out of the window?
mdp.39015063754173	Is he any use?
mdp.39015063754173	Is he to be served?
mdp.39015063754173	Is n't that the chap that killed a keeper, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	Jason?"
mdp.39015063754173	Jason?"
mdp.39015063754173	Little thought what a tragedy was hanging over us, eh?
mdp.39015063754173	Look here, Tallard, did you come to my door just now?"
mdp.39015063754173	May I offer you a whisky and soda?
mdp.39015063754173	Meantime, can I help you at all?
mdp.39015063754173	Might n't he have been taken prisoner too?"
mdp.39015063754173	No harm in his knowing?"
mdp.39015063754173	Now what time was it when you did come into Mr. Jason's room?
mdp.39015063754173	Now, Superintendent, you wo n't be hurt if I call a special meeting of the Standing Joint Committee to consider the matter?"
mdp.39015063754173	Now, Venning; anything troubling you?"
mdp.39015063754173	Now, what was he like?"
mdp.39015063754173	On the old idea, that is, of the murderer sliding down the rain- water pipe?
mdp.39015063754173	On what then did the theory rest?
mdp.39015063754173	Or had Tallard contrived to hide her in some way as yet unguessed?
mdp.39015063754173	Or, impossible as it seemed, had John Hinde?
mdp.39015063754173	Perhaps he'ld come out to my house one evening; you know where I live?
mdp.39015063754173	Poole had thought that he had found it in the'John Smith'letter, but that had broken down; could this be an alternative?
mdp.39015063754173	Poole looked at him enquiringly, but he hurried on:"What are you going to do about this?
mdp.39015063754173	Possibly on some simple shopping expedition, or to tea with a friend?
mdp.39015063754173	Pugh?"
mdp.39015063754173	Shall we have him up, if he is?"
mdp.39015063754173	She dated it from Monday the 6th; you ca n't suggest any cause?"
mdp.39015063754173	Someone, perhaps, who sympathised with him and was ready to help him to execute his revenge?
mdp.39015063754173	Still the thought of a silencer flew round the detective's brain; did it fit in anywhere else?
mdp.39015063754173	Still, do I look the sort to slide down a drain- pipe?"
mdp.39015063754173	Superintendent Ladger?"
mdp.39015063754173	Superintendent Venning hesitated, then asked:"Can you tell how far the shot came from, doctor?"
mdp.39015063754173	Surely she could not have been trying to catch the 4.50?
mdp.39015063754173	Surely you have been told that?"
mdp.39015063754173	That stands for Criminal Investi- gation Department, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063754173	That true, eh?
mdp.39015063754173	That we should come and live in a hotel in the town?"
mdp.39015063754173	That's right, is n't it, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	The large table had been cleared of its paraphernalia, and its top was now covered with an assortment of caliper?
mdp.39015063754173	The real point is, how did he walk into this room and get in front of this table before Captain Scole saw him or shot at him?"
mdp.39015063754173	Their job to investigate crime, is n't it?
mdp.39015063754173	Then how the devil do I remember your face, if you were only with me those two or three days?"
mdp.39015063754173	Then you think it was Hinde after all?"
mdp.39015063754173	Then — how out?
mdp.39015063754173	There might be no gardener, but what were two women about, not to do at least some elementary gardening for them- selves?
mdp.39015063754173	Think he got out that way?"
mdp.39015063754173	Together they ran over the tenders for the past five years, Poole making notes of the names, amounts, and 209 BACK TO THE OLD LINK opened?
mdp.39015063754173	Warned the stations?"
mdp.39015063754173	Was anyone else in danger?
mdp.39015063754173	Was he nervous?"
mdp.39015063754173	Was he really tight or merely dense?
mdp.39015063754173	Was it in the papers?"
mdp.39015063754173	Was the man you saw really exactly like the photographs of Albert Hinde on the bills, or was he only rather like?"
mdp.39015063754173	Was this the obvious lie it seemed to be, or had there been a mistake somewhere?
mdp.39015063754173	Was this what he had been looking for?
mdp.39015063754173	Well, why are n't they asked to, then?
mdp.39015063754173	Were those crashes not shots at all, or shots fired to deceive people as to the time the killing was done?
mdp.39015063754173	Were those shots fired from somewhere else; not from the Chief Constable's room at all?
mdp.39015063754173	What about it?"
mdp.39015063754173	What are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063754173	What d'you make of it, Poole?"
mdp.39015063754173	What d'you mean?"
mdp.39015063754173	What had Jason's attitude been?
mdp.39015063754173	What happens then?"
mdp.39015063754173	What is it, Superintendent?
mdp.39015063754173	What is it?"
mdp.39015063754173	What of it?
mdp.39015063754173	What the devil d'you want?"
mdp.39015063754173	What was she frightened of?
mdp.39015063754173	What was the acting- Chief Constable thinking about?
mdp.39015063754173	What was the connection between Jason and the Hindes?
mdp.39015063754173	What was the police connection, first, with the crime, and secondly, with the Hindes?
mdp.39015063754173	What were your sentries doing?
mdp.39015063754173	What would she do about it?
mdp.39015063754173	What would you have done with him if you had caught him?
mdp.39015063754173	What's capital punishment for if murderers are to be let out to commit another?"
mdp.39015063754173	What's happened?"
mdp.39015063754173	What's his name?"
mdp.39015063754173	When do you mean?"
mdp.39015063754173	When'll you go — this evening?"
mdp.39015063754173	Where did the two loud shots come in, and the scorched leather?
mdp.39015063754173	Where was I?
mdp.39015063754173	Where was he?"
mdp.39015063754173	Where was it?
mdp.39015063754173	Where was she going?
mdp.39015063754173	Where was she going?
mdp.39015063754173	Where will I find you?"
mdp.39015063754173	Where?
mdp.39015063754173	Who had told him that?
mdp.39015063754173	Who handles them?"
mdp.39015063754173	Who would think that a man would go stupid on three Scotch whiskies?
mdp.39015063754173	Who'll you start with?"
mdp.39015063754173	Who's ever seen him, anyway?'
mdp.39015063754173	Who?"
mdp.39015063754173	Whose job is it?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why consult a sub- ordinate about his feelings?
mdp.39015063754173	Why did he show himself to the Chief and to young Wissel?
mdp.39015063754173	Why did n't you join his regiment?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why did n't you tell me?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why do n't they send a more senior officer?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why do n't they send as a matter of course?
mdp.39015063754173	Why had n't he gone in?
mdp.39015063754173	Why not?
mdp.39015063754173	Why on earth are n't they sending a man down?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why should anyone fix on Brancashire's?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why should it have been a Brancashire man at all, eh?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why should n't that doctor go and tell her?"
mdp.39015063754173	Why, for instance, in a house with a garden, were there no flowers?
mdp.39015063754173	Why?
mdp.39015063754173	Will you see him down there, sir, while I keep an eye on this?"
mdp.39015063754173	Will you sign now, sir?"
mdp.39015063754173	Will you tell us — tell Mr. Poole here — just what happened that day so far as you are concerned?"
mdp.39015063754173	With a magnificent sweep the car shot round the police- constable on traffic duty at the top of the 205 BACK TO THE OLD LINK"Was it?
mdp.39015063754173	Would he have been one of the Headquarter staff or one of the Central Division Constables?"
mdp.39015063754173	Would that have got him into the Guards?"
mdp.39015063754173	You are not, I imagine, suggesting that I am a party to this fraud?"
mdp.39015063754173	You did n't ask him?"
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't know who this chap was?"
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't think he did n't work out a better plan than that?
mdp.39015063754173	You do n't think much of it?"
mdp.39015063754173	You knew him, of course?"
mdp.39015063754173	You never thought of following in his footsteps? — long service, I mean, and promotion?"
mdp.39015063754173	You never thought of following in his footsteps? — long service, I mean, and promotion?"
mdp.39015063754173	You remember him?"
mdp.39015063754173	You think it was Hinde mistaking the room?"
mdp.39015063754173	You would?
mdp.39015063754173	You'll let me have the body up at the hospital mortuary?"
mdp.39015063754173	You'll let me know?"
mdp.39015063754173	You'll send some- one to their office?
mdp.39015063754173	You're not suggesting that a man the whole force were looking out for did that, are you?"
mdp.39015063754173	You're quite sure of that?"
mdp.39015063754173	You're sending 8 AN OLD STORY out an information?
mdp.39015063754173	You've thought of Greymouth, of course?
mdp.39015063754173	You, I take it, were one, Tallard?"
mdp.39015063754173	Your real name Gower?"
mdp.39015063754173	actually are on the strength, or for pensions for men who are dead?"
mdp.39015063754173	chap anywhere about?
mdp.39015063754173	dent Blett's supercilious:"Really?"
mdp.39015063754173	does Hinde come in and why have we been looking for him?"
mdp.39015063754173	he asked,"or that we did?"
mdp.39015063754173	libellous letter?"
mdp.39015063754173	man doing?
mdp.39015063754173	no, no, what am I thinking of? — he went downstairs and dictated his schedule to Hookworthy".
mdp.39015063754173	oh, but you want to'ear about this chap Peters — Powling — young feller, eh?
mdp.39015063754173	oh, by the way, could he have shot himself in the forehead — from straight in front — and far enough away not to blacken the flesh?"
mdp.39015063754173	the building, what was the explanation of the Chief Clerk's stealthily- moving door?
mdp.39015063754173	upstairs?"
mdp.39015063754173	was it conceivable that Hinde had been helped by someone on the Headquarter staff?
mdp.39015063754173	what on earth are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063754173	who d'you think from?
mdp.39015063754173	with Superintendent Venning?
mdp.39015063754173	yes, my dear?"
mdp.39015063754173	you came to the conclusion that the Chief Constable was accepting an illegal com- mission?"
mdp.39015063754173	you mean he may have come down the way I did I Through the trap- door into the store- room and so into the passage?"
mdp.39015063754173	you're sure he's not mixed up in this himself, eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	A Richard will be somewhat out of place at Tresham, wo n't he?
mdp.39015063514791	A spiked lion? mdp.39015063514791 Again, why exhume the body of Blundell as well as that of Wing- field?
mdp.39015063514791	All the same — what?
mdp.39015063514791	And beware of the spiked lion, eh, Doctor?
mdp.39015063514791	And had there been?
mdp.39015063514791	And he did n't raise the point in the letter?
mdp.39015063514791	And that condition which you have just described was maintained all the time? mdp.39015063514791 And that is?"
mdp.39015063514791	And the motive, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514791	And who the hell is he, anyway? mdp.39015063514791 Are you con- jecturing here, Bathurst, or speaking from knowledge?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are you serious?
mdp.39015063514791	As a man — as a host do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	As far as that, eh? mdp.39015063514791 As to what, precisely?"
mdp.39015063514791	Bit of a blow, eh? mdp.39015063514791 But does it mean that, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514791	But where the hell does he fit, Sir Austin? mdp.39015063514791 But why Tresham of all places, Mr. Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514791	But why had they gone for Blundell and Wingfield? mdp.39015063514791 But why me — why pick on me of all people?
mdp.39015063514791	But you were on a different footing, doubtless, with Hugh Guest?
mdp.39015063514791	Ca n't you remember?
mdp.39015063514791	Can I be of any assistance?
mdp.39015063514791	Challenge?
mdp.39015063514791	Did he go out again, do you know?
mdp.39015063514791	Did you call to him, Covington, when you came up here just now?
mdp.39015063514791	Do I understand that this is the exact spot, MacMorran? mdp.39015063514791 Do n't you agree with me, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do n't you think, Miss Guest,he returned,"that'ends'of everything are not always easily discernible — that we often mistake them?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you call it attractive, yourself?
mdp.39015063514791	Do you happen to be aware,he asked quietly,"that, at this precise moment, you and I are the subjects of a little — shall we call it?—espionage?
mdp.39015063514791	Do you happen to have kept this letter from Guest, Sir Richard, to which you have just referred?
mdp.39015063514791	Do you know, MacMorran,he remarked almost jocularly,'? I fancy that we've gained a little ground.
mdp.39015063514791	Do you know, Mr. Bathurst,he declared,"you intrigue me?
mdp.39015063514791	Does n't waste words on explanation, does he? mdp.39015063514791 Er — do you mean privately?"
mdp.39015063514791	Even so, what the hell are you doing here? mdp.39015063514791 Everything, Sir Richard?"
mdp.39015063514791	Find out what?
mdp.39015063514791	First of all, Guest, is there any more news of your uncle?
mdp.39015063514791	Fortifications?
mdp.39015063514791	From whom?
mdp.39015063514791	H'm,muttered Anthony;"all very interesting, do n't you think, MacMorran?"
mdp.39015063514791	Hallo?
mdp.39015063514791	Has anybody named Wingfield ever been a visitor here? mdp.39015063514791 Have I ever denied the truth of it, MacMorran?
mdp.39015063514791	Have you any idea?
mdp.39015063514791	Have you seen him about any- where?
mdp.39015063514791	He did n't confide in you at all?
mdp.39015063514791	He has the Tresham eyebrows, then?
mdp.39015063514791	Heard of him?
mdp.39015063514791	How administered?
mdp.39015063514791	How can I have one, Doctor? mdp.39015063514791 How do you come this time?
mdp.39015063514791	How do you do, sir? mdp.39015063514791 How do you explain it yourself, Mr. Covington?
mdp.39015063514791	How do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	How do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	How old is this Nick Tresham — or Lord Tresham, as I suppose I should say?
mdp.39015063514791	How old would the missing Tresham have been now? mdp.39015063514791 How was he dressed when he spoke to you?"
mdp.39015063514791	How would you answer it then, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	I do n't want to seem unduly curious, or to be butting in on anything which does n't concern me, but has Sir Richard had bad news?
mdp.39015063514791	I understand that you found nothing in Blundell's pockets, MacMorran, with the exception of this crumpled piece of notepaper? mdp.39015063514791 I warned you, did n't I?"
mdp.39015063514791	I wonder why he added that?
mdp.39015063514791	I'm much obliged 24 THE SPIKED LIONAny mention of anything unusual about Wingfield's body?
mdp.39015063514791	I? mdp.39015063514791 If it will help things at all, why not see if Guest has dressed for dinner?
mdp.39015063514791	If not here, in the Isle of Wight, shall we say? mdp.39015063514791 In that case, then, Sir Richard, where is the key?
mdp.39015063514791	In what particular connec- tion, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	In which he might have been implicated rather seriously? mdp.39015063514791 In which pocket did you find it?"
mdp.39015063514791	Inconvenient, possibly,returned Anthony,"but surely not unwelcome?
mdp.39015063514791	Interested?
mdp.39015063514791	Invite? mdp.39015063514791 Is MacMorran handy, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	Is it absolutely necessary, Bath- urst? mdp.39015063514791 Is that so?
mdp.39015063514791	Is that you, Walters? mdp.39015063514791 Is there any need for us to put Guest's activities under the microscope at this time of the evening?"
mdp.39015063514791	It might explain things, eh?
mdp.39015063514791	It would seem so,admitted the doctor,"when we think of the conditions — the window and the locked door; but how did he administer the poison?
mdp.39015063514791	It's no good sitting on a horse unless you're its master, and un- less too..."Unless what, Sir Richard?
mdp.39015063514791	Let me see, now,said Slingsby Raphael re- flectively;"where was I when Covington started to scare us?
mdp.39015063514791	Letter? mdp.39015063514791 Lions as well?"
mdp.39015063514791	May I help myself to a cigarette?
mdp.39015063514791	May I talk to you confidentially?
mdp.39015063514791	May I talk?
mdp.39015063514791	Meaning that Ingle comes out of it all with a great deal of real loss and no profit?
mdp.39015063514791	Miss Guest,remarked Anthony at length,"when your uncle, Mr. Blundell, was first missing, how did your brother seem?"
mdp.39015063514791	Miss Guest,said Anthony,"did you ever definitely ask your brother his real reason for asking to come to this house?"
mdp.39015063514791	Mr. Bathurst? mdp.39015063514791 Mr. Hugh Guest?"
mdp.39015063514791	Must you be a child, and think as a child? mdp.39015063514791 My dear Slingsby,"said Sir Richard,?'
mdp.39015063514791	My dear boy,he said,"what's come over you?
mdp.39015063514791	My dear chap,he said, with outstretched hand,"what on earth are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063514791	No footmarks below, you say, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063514791	None at all?
mdp.39015063514791	Nothing in the nature of a secret message or crypto- gram? mdp.39015063514791 Nothing?
mdp.39015063514791	Now tell me this, Sir Richard,continued Anthony Bathurst;"was he a frequent visitor here?"
mdp.39015063514791	Now what have you to say to me?
mdp.39015063514791	Now, Gar- rett,he said,"I wonder if you would be good enough to do something else for me?
mdp.39015063514791	Occasionally has money, and bombed Damascus, eh?
mdp.39015063514791	On that occasion did he return the same night?
mdp.39015063514791	On those occasions invitations would be issued, of course?
mdp.39015063514791	One fact that, it seems to me, must emerge from all this is — how did this impor- tant engagement come about? mdp.39015063514791 Or that we understand each other — eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	Remember my investigation of Colonel Cameron's death at Dallow Corner? mdp.39015063514791 Returning to Ingle for a moment,"put in the Com- missioner;"what would you say about him, Bathurst, if you were asked?
mdp.39015063514791	See what I mean, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	Sergeant Pullinger?
mdp.39015063514791	Shall I tell you what was wanted of these three dead men, Mr. Bath- urst? mdp.39015063514791 Shall we go up, Dick, you and I, with Covington?"
mdp.39015063514791	Slingsby Raphael? mdp.39015063514791 So you do n't remember me, Nick?"
mdp.39015063514791	Summerhayes is leaving the island now, do you mean?
mdp.39015063514791	Supposing I refuse to entertain your idea? mdp.39015063514791 Surely there must have been others who have met similarly, before us, Mr. Raphael?
mdp.39015063514791	Surely, my dear Bathurst, that is more or less imma- terial? mdp.39015063514791 Tell me, Guest, do you suspect foul play?"
mdp.39015063514791	That suit you?
mdp.39015063514791	That would be a house- party, I suppose?
mdp.39015063514791	The idea does n't attract you, then?
mdp.39015063514791	The key, I suppose, was handled by several people after you say the doctor handed it over?
mdp.39015063514791	The late Alfred Lester all over again, do you mean? mdp.39015063514791 The lion?
mdp.39015063514791	The physical evidence?
mdp.39015063514791	The'Yard'has its points, then, Mr. Bathurst, eh? mdp.39015063514791 There is only one possible explanation, surely?
mdp.39015063514791	Tight- lipped — eh?
mdp.39015063514791	Tight- lipped? mdp.39015063514791 Vultures — eh?
mdp.39015063514791	Was he comfortable, Bathurst, would you say, as far as the things of this world go? mdp.39015063514791 Was it unusual for him to go out as he did?"
mdp.39015063514791	Was your brother more up- set or less upset than you would have normally expected him to be?
mdp.39015063514791	Well — my uncle; where is he?
mdp.39015063514791	Well — why should blood be thicker than water — when it applies to three men who, as far as we know, had no birth affinity whatever?
mdp.39015063514791	Well, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514791	Well, he does, does n't he? mdp.39015063514791 Well, sir,"he queried,"and after that?
mdp.39015063514791	Well, what can I do for you?
mdp.39015063514791	Well, you ca n't put a tree under a microscope like you can a hair, can you? mdp.39015063514791 Well,"said the former, with a touch of jauntiness,"what has all this to do with me?
mdp.39015063514791	Well?
mdp.39015063514791	Well?
mdp.39015063514791	Well?
mdp.39015063514791	Were Blundell and Wingfield in attendance at the card- party in ques- tion?
mdp.39015063514791	What I wanted to ask you, Sir Richard Ingle, is'Why is blood thicker than water?' mdp.39015063514791 What about coming upstairs to my room?
mdp.39015063514791	What about that piece of paper you found in the pocket? mdp.39015063514791 What about the morning when he left his house in the Hayward's Heath district?
mdp.39015063514791	What about you, Doctor? mdp.39015063514791 What brought Raphael to Tresham?"
mdp.39015063514791	What did he say when you said that? mdp.39015063514791 What did you do first?
mdp.39015063514791	What did you do then?
mdp.39015063514791	What did you say when he suggested that to you?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you know of the spiked lion?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you make of it, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you mean by that, Bathurst? mdp.39015063514791 What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you mean exactly by'well'?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you purpose then? mdp.39015063514791 What do you think it is?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you think the old rascal said to that?
mdp.39015063514791	What does MacMorran say about it? mdp.39015063514791 What had he been doing?
mdp.39015063514791	What happened then?
mdp.39015063514791	What is your decision?
mdp.39015063514791	What on earth are you talking about? mdp.39015063514791 What the devil does the Johnny want?"
mdp.39015063514791	What the hell's the Blue Mosque at Cairo to do with it — and all? mdp.39015063514791 What things?"
mdp.39015063514791	What was that, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	What was that, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	What's doing, sir? mdp.39015063514791 What's that?"
mdp.39015063514791	What's worrying me, do you mean?
mdp.39015063514791	What's your worst trouble?
mdp.39015063514791	When was the last occasion it happened? mdp.39015063514791 When you received Guest's letter to say that he was coming on this last occasion, were you at all surprised?"
mdp.39015063514791	Where are you heading for, sir? mdp.39015063514791 Where had he been that day?
mdp.39015063514791	Where was the body when you came into the room?
mdp.39015063514791	Which is why you Wrote to me?
mdp.39015063514791	Which side, Doctor?
mdp.39015063514791	Which, being interpreted...?
mdp.39015063514791	Who are these people?
mdp.39015063514791	Who else remains? mdp.39015063514791 Who examined them first of all?
mdp.39015063514791	Who wants me? mdp.39015063514791 Who was the first man to answer that question?"
mdp.39015063514791	Whose image and superscription is this?
mdp.39015063514791	Why do you accuse me of the possession of these things? mdp.39015063514791 Why not?
mdp.39015063514791	Why not?
mdp.39015063514791	Why should I pretend a sentimentality that I do n't feel? mdp.39015063514791 Why that name in particular?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why, Bathurst? mdp.39015063514791 Why?
mdp.39015063514791	Why?
mdp.39015063514791	Why?
mdp.39015063514791	Why?
mdp.39015063514791	Will anybody come upstairs with me? mdp.39015063514791 Will you explain this to me, Mr. Bathurst?
mdp.39015063514791	Would he look for them, sir? mdp.39015063514791 Would you mind telling me what a jetton is?
mdp.39015063514791	Yes, Garrett,said Sir Richard;"what is it?"
mdp.39015063514791	Yes, that would be true — but how did you know?
mdp.39015063514791	Yes, yes; but what are you doing here? mdp.39015063514791 Yes?
mdp.39015063514791	Yes? mdp.39015063514791 You ca n't eliminate him from the circle, then?
mdp.39015063514791	You called me, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	You get your own way, do n't you? mdp.39015063514791 You have been kept posted with family news, I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015063514791	You heard no sound, I suppose, when you came to the door?
mdp.39015063514791	You know how I dealt with Summerhayes, do n't you, Andy? mdp.39015063514791 You know more, eh?
mdp.39015063514791	You mean difficulty of approach?
mdp.39015063514791	You mean that the time and place are inopportune? mdp.39015063514791 You mean — concerning Mr. Blundell's disappear- ance?"
mdp.39015063514791	You remember my insistence on the phrase, then, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	You said, I think, that he came to you one night with this idea of coming to the Isle of Wight?
mdp.39015063514791	You say that Guest seemed anxious?
mdp.39015063514791	You say that you would be unable to recognize either of these men whose conversation you overheard?
mdp.39015063514791	You think not?
mdp.39015063514791	You think that Eddington, know- ing what he did about three people, gave something away? mdp.39015063514791 You'll try the same game on with me — eh?
mdp.39015063514791	You've found nothing, I under- stand, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063514791	Your point being, Doctor,said Anthony,"that this high priest of refuse collection would have brought distinc- tion to the C.I.D.?"
mdp.39015063514791	$'What's on your mind now, Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	'* How — interested?"
mdp.39015063514791	'*"Nicholas?
mdp.39015063514791	'4 You will go there, of course?"
mdp.39015063514791	* That's so, is n't it, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063514791	*'What have the police learned at Tresham?"
mdp.39015063514791	*'Which of you gentle- men was the first to discover that Guest was dead?"
mdp.39015063514791	.?
mdp.39015063514791	.?"
mdp.39015063514791	106 THE SPIKED LION"Not for a moment, but even so""Even so, what, Sir Richard?"
mdp.39015063514791	108 THE SPIKED LION"Is he?
mdp.39015063514791	5Tou or Constable Chatter ton?"
mdp.39015063514791	> Bring him down- stairs, will you?"
mdp.39015063514791	? ” The lines of Guest's mouth tightened.
mdp.39015063514791	?'
mdp.39015063514791	?'
mdp.39015063514791	?'
mdp.39015063514791	A borrowed day, did you say?"
mdp.39015063514791	A patient?
mdp.39015063514791	ANTHONY BATHURST ATTACKS 53"Eh — what's that you're saying — just what d'ye mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	About these other two murders, I mean?
mdp.39015063514791	After all, why should he?
mdp.39015063514791	Against Slingsby Raphael, a member of the dread Triad Society, and an Endorite?
mdp.39015063514791	Ale, sir?
mdp.39015063514791	All the truth of the conspiracy?
mdp.39015063514791	All three of them?"
mdp.39015063514791	Also, admitting the truth of your conjecture for the sake of discussion, why should you think that our host would confide in me?"
mdp.39015063514791	Always merry and bright?"
mdp.39015063514791	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063514791	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063514791	And in that case — who can say the measure of Ingle's prosperity, or worth of Ingle's soul?"
mdp.39015063514791	And where's all this leading up to?"
mdp.39015063514791	And yet""And yet what?"
mdp.39015063514791	Any bones broken?"
mdp.39015063514791	Any idea?"
mdp.39015063514791	Any more flats to join for you?"
mdp.39015063514791	Any, I mean, in which he might have been implicated rather seriously?"
mdp.39015063514791	Anything afoot?"
mdp.39015063514791	Anything special?
mdp.39015063514791	Are n't you satisfied?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are n't you well?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are there any developments?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are there developments?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are you fancying yourself as an investigator, or do you suspect anybody in particular?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are you going after it?"
mdp.39015063514791	Are you still at work on the Guest murder?
mdp.39015063514791	Are you — apart from Mr. Gregory Lomax — entirely satisfied with things as you find them?"
mdp.39015063514791	As a triumphant con- queror of a ticklish problem?"
mdp.39015063514791	As much as that?
mdp.39015063514791	At 224 THE SPIKED LION death, Inspector?
mdp.39015063514791	At this time of night?"
mdp.39015063514791	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	Because he was a friend of the Ingles or because he wanted to be at Beech Knoll — to be near Ingle?"
mdp.39015063514791	Beneath trees?
mdp.39015063514791	Blundell, Wingfield, and""And who?"
mdp.39015063514791	But how do I know the truth of it?
mdp.39015063514791	But how marked?
mdp.39015063514791	But tell me this before you go — of whom are you afraid?
mdp.39015063514791	But was it Blundell's habit to go abroad without a hat?
mdp.39015063514791	But why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063514791	But'blood's thicker than water,'eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	By the way, where have you been all this time?"
mdp.39015063514791	By the way, who told you that I was Irish?"

mdp.39015063514791	Ca n't you get what you want in any other way?
mdp.39015063514791	Ca n't you see it all now?
mdp.39015063514791	Ca n't you see that, you damned old fool?
mdp.39015063514791	Can you remember anything else that I said just about then?"
mdp.39015063514791	Can you remember?"
mdp.39015063514791	Can you see anything?"
mdp.39015063514791	Can you see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	Can you think of a better reason?"
mdp.39015063514791	Cigar?"
mdp.39015063514791	Comfortable?"
mdp.39015063514791	Could you name the three letters?"

mdp.39015063514791	Did I hear you say'in- trusion'?"
mdp.39015063514791	Did he argue it out with you?"
mdp.39015063514791	Did he make a point of showing them to you?"
mdp.39015063514791	Did he seem sur- prised at your uncle's disappearance?"
mdp.39015063514791	Did one of you gentlemen take it out of the lock?
mdp.39015063514791	Did the key to the mystery lie at Tresham or in the Isle of Wight?
mdp.39015063514791	Did there seem to be anxiety or a keen cksire on Guest's part to come here?
mdp.39015063514791	Did you hear, during these last few days, any mention from your brother of an animal?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do I under- stand from that that they have been gone into thoroughly, and that you are absolutely satisfied?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do n't you agree?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do n't you forget something?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do n't you think so yourself?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do n't you think that if you could arrange it, it might give you the information which you require?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you happen to know who they are?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you imagine for one instant that I should have accepted Lord Tresham's statements without authentic verification of them?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you remember, though, what I told you?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you remember?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	Do you think that you yourself may be in danger?
mdp.39015063514791	Does he touch the circle anywhere?"
mdp.39015063514791	Does it mean just what it says?
mdp.39015063514791	Does that help you, sir, in any way at all?"
mdp.39015063514791	Does that paper of yours tell us anything more about him? ” He rubbed his hands.
mdp.39015063514791	Eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	Either recently, or some time ago?"
mdp.39015063514791	Essentially plucky, but... go into the morning- room and wait, will you?
mdp.39015063514791	Ever been up there, Miss Guest?"
mdp.39015063514791	Face slashed?
mdp.39015063514791	For Mr. Bathurst, you say?
mdp.39015063514791	For instance, Guest went to stay with Sir Richard Ingle, did n't he?
mdp.39015063514791	Good- evening, Doctor,'he says to me;'any old rag or bone?'
mdp.39015063514791	Got something extra for the three- thirty?
mdp.39015063514791	Guest been this afternoon, Richard?"
mdp.39015063514791	Guest here on the occasion of this last visit of his?"
mdp.39015063514791	Guest?
mdp.39015063514791	Guest?
mdp.39015063514791	Guest?"
mdp.39015063514791	H'm?
mdp.39015063514791	Had he been wrong in taking the three of them singly, as it were?
mdp.39015063514791	Had it been originally a priest's hole, or had it been constructed during more recent years?
mdp.39015063514791	Had they the least little thing in common?
mdp.39015063514791	Has Lord Tresham arrived?"
mdp.39015063514791	Have you been down to Tresham yet?"
mdp.39015063514791	Have you discussed it with him?"
mdp.39015063514791	Have you ever heard of the name of Wingfield?"
mdp.39015063514791	Have you the letter to which you yourself made reference?
mdp.39015063514791	Have you traced the man I wanted, MacMorran?"
mdp.39015063514791	He could n't have expected to find him here with you, could he?
mdp.39015063514791	He did n't consider the idea for a time, turn it over in his mind and then decide to act upon it?"
mdp.39015063514791	He timed his appearance very cleverly, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063514791	He turned WHERE HAD WINGFIELD BEEN?
mdp.39015063514791	He wrote to you?"
mdp.39015063514791	Head, gout, or just the'Yard'?"
mdp.39015063514791	Help me, will you, please?
mdp.39015063514791	Hidden somewhere or in something?
mdp.39015063514791	Hidden, let me defi- nitely suggest, in the most ordinary of every- day letters?"
mdp.39015063514791	Hold the candle a little closer, Doctor, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063514791	How about seeing the two doctors?
mdp.39015063514791	How are you going to explain that?
mdp.39015063514791	How can I?
mdp.39015063514791	How can you be certain that you are right with regard to that?"
mdp.39015063514791	How did he take it — pretty badly?"
mdp.39015063514791	How did you find it Out?"
mdp.39015063514791	How do you know that?"
mdp.39015063514791	How does that possibility strike you?"
mdp.39015063514791	How had he reacted to the mention of Ingle's name?
mdp.39015063514791	How is it that the gentleman whom you have mentioned failed to present himself to his father when the late Lord Tresham was alive?
mdp.39015063514791	How shall I put it?
mdp.39015063514791	How to get hold of them?
mdp.39015063514791	How's that for the eternally- separated twain meeting, eh, Mac- Morran?"
mdp.39015063514791	How's that, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063514791	I am as 20 G THE SPIKED LION"You know all about it, then?
mdp.39015063514791	I expect I am too, eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	I have your permission, I take it, Sir Richard?"
mdp.39015063514791	I just said,"Are you there?'"
mdp.39015063514791	I know that looking at it makes the idea seem perfectly ridiculous — but what else could have happened?
mdp.39015063514791	I presume that the latter's widow gave you no in- formation about Blundell's legs?"
mdp.39015063514791	I presume that you, Sir Richard, can throw no light upon the death of Mr. Blundell?
mdp.39015063514791	I think that I said —* Hugh, are you there?'
mdp.39015063514791	I was just a little, shall we say, uncertain?
mdp.39015063514791	I wonder if I understand you?"
mdp.39015063514791	If it were in his power- well, Mr. Bathurst could com- WHERE HAD WINGFIELD BEEN?
mdp.39015063514791	If they had wanted Wingfield, as was now eminently conceivable, why had they wanted Blundell?
mdp.39015063514791	In delirium, perhaps?
mdp.39015063514791	In the lounge?
mdp.39015063514791	In the not so dim and distant past?"
mdp.39015063514791	In this room, like this?
mdp.39015063514791	Into what nest of grotesque mystery had his feet strayed?
mdp.39015063514791	Is he expecting a tip or something?"
mdp.39015063514791	Is it Foul Play?"
mdp.39015063514791	Is it not so?"
mdp.39015063514791	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015063514791	Is that so?"
mdp.39015063514791	Is that what you mean — wrapped up a bit?"
mdp.39015063514791	Is that what you want me to say?"
mdp.39015063514791	It comes to that, eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	It's perfectly inhuman of you — don't you think so, Sugden?"
mdp.39015063514791	Knock on the door, or call to Guest?"
mdp.39015063514791	Knowledge — any possession — any something, infinitesimal even, but belonging at the same time to each one of them?
mdp.39015063514791	Let me see, what happened after that?
mdp.39015063514791	Light?
mdp.39015063514791	Loss of memory?"
mdp.39015063514791	MacMorran?
mdp.39015063514791	Masquerading as a servant?
mdp.39015063514791	May I glance at the envelope?"
mdp.39015063514791	May I inquire into the inner history of the Tresham succession?
mdp.39015063514791	May I?"
mdp.39015063514791	Might she not have played — and be willing to play again — if cunningly tempted — in a greater game?
mdp.39015063514791	Moreover, what do we find hap- pening afterwards?
mdp.39015063514791	Must you see the wires by which the mario- nettes are worked before you believe in them?
mdp.39015063514791	My first question to him was, if you remem- ber,* Why is blood thicker than water?'"
mdp.39015063514791	N'est ce pas?"
mdp.39015063514791	Near a seat?
mdp.39015063514791	No fly in the amber any- where, I suppose?
mdp.39015063514791	No money, letters, keys, papers or anything?"
mdp.39015063514791	Now is there any straw — any tiny fragment, even, of straw — that is floating in the air somewhere, waiting for you or me to grasp it?
mdp.39015063514791	Now tell me, Miss Guest, what did your brother say to you when he was excited — like that?
mdp.39015063514791	Now what have we?
mdp.39015063514791	Now what have you to say?"
mdp.39015063514791	Now what puzzles me, MacMorran, is this — why should those people hunt in trios?
mdp.39015063514791	Now what was it that he said?
mdp.39015063514791	Now, what the hell does that mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	Of the ex- cessively simple and innocent kind?
mdp.39015063514791	Of what are you afraid?"
mdp.39015063514791	Of what was he in terror?"
mdp.39015063514791	Of whom was he afraid?
mdp.39015063514791	On a path?
mdp.39015063514791	On the grass?
mdp.39015063514791	Or even when he lay dying?
mdp.39015063514791	Or is it too crowded, do you think?
mdp.39015063514791	Or just one of those combinations of coincidence that develop the length of its arm?
mdp.39015063514791	Or rolled under the bed?"
mdp.39015063514791	Otherwise, why should he take all his personal things with him?
mdp.39015063514791	Out anywhere, can you remember?"
mdp.39015063514791	Perhaps Garrett himself might be able to assist him on the special matter that had brought him back to Beech Knoll?
mdp.39015063514791	Please tell me how I can help you?"
mdp.39015063514791	Pretty feeble, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063514791	Pretty sickening, what?"
mdp.39015063514791	Pretty unconventional — what?
mdp.39015063514791	Prosperous, all right?"
mdp.39015063514791	Rather a bad break for both you and Captain Forbes, right from the beginning — what?
mdp.39015063514791	Run across anything?"
mdp.39015063514791	SKELETON PLAN 207"What is the alternative?
mdp.39015063514791	Satisfied?"
mdp.39015063514791	She pushed a door open and spoke a question:"Miss Wingfield?"
mdp.39015063514791	So your answer to my question is —'certainly not re- cently'?"
mdp.39015063514791	Something important, do you think?"
mdp.39015063514791	Specially, do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	Summerhayes put it pretty plainly to you, did n't he?
mdp.39015063514791	Summerhayes?"
mdp.39015063514791	Surely such an ingenious weapon- considering the times through which it had passed — would be turned to offence as well as defence?
mdp.39015063514791	Surely the first thing he would have done would have been to have his story'pat'?
mdp.39015063514791	THE LATE PROFESSOR WINGFIELD 93"He told Mrs. Wingfield that he was keeping an im- portant appointment, you say?"
mdp.39015063514791	Tell me — that's right, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063514791	That I never felt?
mdp.39015063514791	That I've come back, tell him, in the hope of a little conversation with him?
mdp.39015063514791	That is what you want me to do, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514791	That strange affair of the red leech?
mdp.39015063514791	That straw of the spiked lion?
mdp.39015063514791	That the idea?"
mdp.39015063514791	That they've told you?"
mdp.39015063514791	That's asking me a good deal, is n't it?
mdp.39015063514791	That's so, Doctor, is it not?"
mdp.39015063514791	That's the idea, is n't it, Bath- urst?"
mdp.39015063514791	That's the line you're going to take?
mdp.39015063514791	That's the only thing I can think of that""A map,"interrupted Bathurst;"a map of what, Miss Wingfield?"
mdp.39015063514791	That's what you mean, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063514791	That, I think, if produced, will seal the matter, shall we say?"
mdp.39015063514791	The ASSISTANCE OF BARRY COVINGTON 77 locked door, I mean, and the key in the murdered man's pocket?"
mdp.39015063514791	The Commissioner leaned a little farther forward in his 10 THE SPIKED LION T; house one morning, did n't he, and has n't been seen since?
mdp.39015063514791	The death at Sir Richard Ingle's — eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	The desire to come here, then, came upon him suddenly?
mdp.39015063514791	The exact nature of the evidence that he was able to produce in support of his claim?
mdp.39015063514791	The initials of the surnames fit the equation, I agree, but are you absolutely certain of the peculiar identity of these two men?
mdp.39015063514791	The island of the spiked lion?
mdp.39015063514791	The murder of Guest gives us a definite'locality,'you mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	The one or the other?"
mdp.39015063514791	The point that's worrying me — where is Tresham himself, as I said?
mdp.39015063514791	The suggestion that he should come here emanated from him, then?
mdp.39015063514791	There's nothing on the floor anywhere, is there?
mdp.39015063514791	They examined the bodies, did n't they?
mdp.39015063514791	To what do you allude?
mdp.39015063514791	Tresham — why Tresham?
mdp.39015063514791	Understand my meaning?"
mdp.39015063514791	Understand?
mdp.39015063514791	Wait just a moment, will you, my boy, in case I want you again?"
mdp.39015063514791	Was he bareheaded then?"
mdp.39015063514791	Was it probable that this hiding- place would have been constructed and used for the purpose of espionage only?
mdp.39015063514791	Was it the product of excitement or of some deeper, intenser quality?
mdp.39015063514791	Was there any scandal at all, do you know, when Nick Tresham was at Cambridge?
mdp.39015063514791	Was this gang of yours attached to a menagerie?"
mdp.39015063514791	Was this revelation?
mdp.39015063514791	We are safe from disturb- ance?
mdp.39015063514791	Well — which is it to be?
mdp.39015063514791	Well?"
mdp.39015063514791	Well?"
mdp.39015063514791	Well?"
mdp.39015063514791	Were the puzzle- pieces coming to him?
mdp.39015063514791	What about the side of the staircase, hard by the thirteenth stair?
mdp.39015063514791	What are they?
mdp.39015063514791	What are we going to do?"
mdp.39015063514791	What are you thinking of?"
mdp.39015063514791	What brings you here again?
mdp.39015063514791	What can a man like Summer- hayes know about that?"
mdp.39015063514791	What can you tell us about him?"
mdp.39015063514791	What could be the at- traction?
mdp.39015063514791	What did you make of the dead man's bodily injuries?
mdp.39015063514791	What do you know?"
mdp.39015063514791	What do you know?"
mdp.39015063514791	What do you mean by* key'?"
mdp.39015063514791	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063514791	What do you say to that, Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	What do you think yourself?"
mdp.39015063514791	What else can I suspect?
mdp.39015063514791	What else can you possibly find out?"
mdp.39015063514791	What else could I do?"
mdp.39015063514791	What else remains?"

mdp.39015063514791	What is the meaning of this intru- sion?"
mdp.39015063514791	What more, therefore, could he desire?
mdp.39015063514791	What proof have I that my uncle is n't already dead?
mdp.39015063514791	What reason had he?
mdp.39015063514791	What the merry hell was Covington dithering about?
mdp.39015063514791	What then?"
mdp.39015063514791	What was coming to him now, and from where?
mdp.39015063514791	What was his answer?
mdp.39015063514791	What was his real reason?
mdp.39015063514791	What was it that you wanted to ask me, sir?"
mdp.39015063514791	What was that destination?
mdp.39015063514791	What was the sinister secret that concerned these historic counters of Tresham?
mdp.39015063514791	What were the words he used?
mdp.39015063514791	What were they like?
mdp.39015063514791	What will you do next?"
mdp.39015063514791	What's biting you?"
mdp.39015063514791	What's that?
mdp.39015063514791	What's that?
mdp.39015063514791	What's the latest spot of bother?
mdp.39015063514791	What?
mdp.39015063514791	When Hugh Guest wrote to you the other day, did he know if anybody else were staying with you at the time?"
mdp.39015063514791	When did you return?"
mdp.39015063514791	When was he last here?"
mdp.39015063514791	When you proved to be such an intelligent anticipator?"
mdp.39015063514791	Where are we?"
mdp.39015063514791	Where can we talk?
mdp.39015063514791	Where can we talk?
mdp.39015063514791	Where did they come in?
mdp.39015063514791	Where exactly in Bushey Park was the body found?
mdp.39015063514791	Where the hell do any of them fit?"

mdp.39015063514791	Where we stand, as one may say?
mdp.39015063514791	Where's Hugh, Celia?"

mdp.39015063514791	Which is correct, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063514791	Which murder has helped you most towards, shall we say, solution?"
mdp.39015063514791	Which murder is helping you most towards the truth?"
mdp.39015063514791	Which one?"
mdp.39015063514791	Which side do you intend to decorate — Decani or Cantoris?"
mdp.39015063514791	Who discovered Blundell's body?"
mdp.39015063514791	Who else?"
mdp.39015063514791	Who is it?"
mdp.39015063514791	Who knows the truth of these things?
mdp.39015063514791	Who knows what horror may lurk in those branches up there?"
mdp.39015063514791	Who knows?
mdp.39015063514791	Who knows?"

mdp.39015063514791	Who put the case in your hands?
mdp.39015063514791	Who the devil besides, in this grotesque case, was also the bearer of that identical tale of years?
mdp.39015063514791	Who were these people to pit themselves against him?
mdp.39015063514791	Who's next?"
mdp.39015063514791	Who?
mdp.39015063514791	Who?
mdp.39015063514791	Why 100 THE SPI KED LION do you ask?
mdp.39015063514791	Why MACMORRAN CONTRIBUTES SOMETHING 17 poison a man and knock him about as well?
mdp.39015063514791	Why did the murderer'feature'the spiked Hon so?
mdp.39015063514791	Why did you attempt to enter this room just before dinner?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why do you ask that?
mdp.39015063514791	Why do you keep coming to Hurrilow?
mdp.39015063514791	Why have the marks at all?
mdp.39015063514791	Why have the marks at all?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why must you drag in Summerhayes?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why on earth should I?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why should Guest do that?
mdp.39015063514791	Why should I?
mdp.39015063514791	Why should a poisoned victim have a bruised body, a broken limb and a scratched cheek?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why should he suddenly change his tactics, as it were?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why should you imagine such a thing?
mdp.39015063514791	Why these exhumations?
mdp.39015063514791	Why they have all been killed, and for what?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why?
mdp.39015063514791	Why?"
mdp.39015063514791	Why?"
mdp.39015063514791	Will his bedroom tell us anything?"
mdp.39015063514791	Will they hang, Sir Austin?"
mdp.39015063514791	Will you arrange that for me?"
mdp.39015063514791	Will you forgive me if I recall to your memory those historic words re- corded by M. de Marsac?
mdp.39015063514791	Will you please come along?
mdp.39015063514791	With that in view, therefore, Mr. Bathurst, and considering our position, would you be good enough to tell us where you stand?"
mdp.39015063514791	Without your precious data how do you intend to move?
mdp.39015063514791	Would an X here show where the body was found?
mdp.39015063514791	Would he have been better advised to take them together?
mdp.39015063514791	Would that be true, Miss Guest?"
mdp.39015063514791	Would you be good enough to open that window that was behind you where you were standing — just a few inches?
mdp.39015063514791	Would you be good enough to tell Sir Richard that I am here?
mdp.39015063514791	Would you say that Guest was a healthy man, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063514791	Would you say that?"
mdp.39015063514791	Yes?"
mdp.39015063514791	You admit that the idea originated with him — did he appear to be really eager to make the visit?"
mdp.39015063514791	You are aware, of course, Dr. Summerhayes, that Guest is the third victim of this kind during the last few days?"
mdp.39015063514791	You can always argue to suit your case, ca n't you?"
mdp.39015063514791	You can give no hint — make no suggestion, arising from your knowledge of Hugh Guest, say — that would prove helpful to us?"
mdp.39015063514791	You do n't blame me — eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	You know what I mean —'Now the 112 THE SPIKED LION laborer's task is o'er'—eh?
mdp.39015063514791	You realize, of course, how the poor girl is?
mdp.39015063514791	You say that your brother was a man of methodical habit?"
mdp.39015063514791	You say you heard'Guest,''door- step,''Sir Richard Ingle,''Beech Knoll'and'Ralph'— all these significant words?
mdp.39015063514791	You will be in the front choir of mourners, of course?
mdp.39015063514791	You wo n't be coming any farther with us, I take it?"
mdp.39015063514791	You wo n't mind, will you?
mdp.39015063514791	You'll get to work on them at once, wo n't you, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063514791	You're not serious?"
mdp.39015063514791	You've been to Scotland Yard, of course?"
mdp.39015063514791	You've been to his place?"
mdp.39015063514791	You've checked up on it, of course?"
mdp.39015063514791	You've come about that poor doctor, sir, who's disappeared?
mdp.39015063514791	Your usual job of Mr. Nosey Parker?"
mdp.39015063514791	a Servants — did you see any of them?"
mdp.39015063514791	a Shall we seat ourselves?
mdp.39015063514791	and Blundell's in Bushey Park?
mdp.39015063514791	and not for individual distinctions?
mdp.39015063514791	but why, in hell's name, Blun- THE SPIKED LION 157'on the 3ay that he had first touched the case?
mdp.39015063514791	can I ever thank you enough?"
mdp.39015063514791	can you recall that day a short time ago when you were discussing the missing Tresham with me?
mdp.39015063514791	can you see it?
mdp.39015063514791	continued Forbes to Anthony;"why are they here?
mdp.39015063514791	eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	have you thought?"
mdp.39015063514791	he declared;"the death of his father has served to bring him from his hiding- place, eh?"
mdp.39015063514791	like a commoner?"
mdp.39015063514791	murderers of your uncle may be out to get you?"
mdp.39015063514791	s'Blundell's clothes, MacMorran?
mdp.39015063514791	said Sugden,"sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought — does silence sit on Anthony Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063514791	suspicion, too, that would not be based on definite facts or evidence, but on a look, a word, or even a gesture?
mdp.39015063514791	the young fellow who came here?
mdp.39015063514791	were the clothes torn at all?"
mdp.39015063514791	what is it?
mdp.39015063514791	ycfu understand what I mean?
mdp.39015063514791	young Guest, do you mean?
mdp.39015063514791	« Why?"
mdp.39015063514791	“ Do you want me, Covington?"
mdp.39015063514791	“ How?"
mdp.39015063514791	“ Lord Tresham- eh?
mdp.39015063514791	“ Such as...?"
mdp.39015063514791	“ Wander- ing, do you mean?
mdp.39015063514791	“ Well, what's worrying you, Covington?
mdp.39015063514791	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015063514791	“ What was his aim in life?"
mdp.39015063514791	“ What's that? ” “ Blundell and Wingfield... and young Guest."
mdp.39015063514791	“ Where? ”- “ In Bushey Park. ” Again Bathurst came in, rapid, insistent.
mdp.39015063514791	“ Who, and what, is the Wiltshire gentleman named Wingfield who has been found dead near Sidmouth?
mdp.39015063514791	■ i 170 THE SPIKED LION"What's your own idea about them, Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063950011	A telegram? mdp.39015063950011 And I suppose you'd say you did it, eh?"
mdp.39015063950011	And did you think I might let you go?
mdp.39015063950011	And incidentally to find out where you are, eh? mdp.39015063950011 And leave that?"
mdp.39015063950011	And you let her shake hands with the milk- man?
mdp.39015063950011	And you're not able to? mdp.39015063950011 Anybody around here to mend and press a suit of clothes?"
mdp.39015063950011	As he is concerned?
mdp.39015063950011	At three dollars a day? mdp.39015063950011 Bayne?"
mdp.39015063950011	But he is all right?
mdp.39015063950011	But if I only want to help? mdp.39015063950011 But suppose she comes up again?
mdp.39015063950011	But what is it?
mdp.39015063950011	But where on earth have you been?
mdp.39015063950011	But why has Warrington kept his mouth shut, if that's the case?
mdp.39015063950011	But you are on pretty friendly terms with the family?
mdp.39015063950011	But you're expecting him back this morn- ing?
mdp.39015063950011	But you're going through with it?
mdp.39015063950011	But your wife knows him? mdp.39015063950011 Did n't they ever tell you anything at all?"
mdp.39015063950011	Did n't you know Furness was coming?
mdp.39015063950011	Did you ever see so many ties?
mdp.39015063950011	Do n't you like me to hold you?
mdp.39015063950011	Do n't you like them?
mdp.39015063950011	Do n't you sup- pose the Bayne house was searched from top to bottom after Tom Bayne was arrested? mdp.39015063950011 Do n't you want any dinner, James?"
mdp.39015063950011	Do you know a young man named War- rington who has a room there?
mdp.39015063950011	Do you know they are letting Tom Bayne out?
mdp.39015063950011	Do you remember that date?
mdp.39015063950011	Do you suppose I can go i93 t;w o flights up, to the store after that?
mdp.39015063950011	Do you think Father told her the day she went to see him?
mdp.39015063950011	Ends what?
mdp.39015063950011	For a fitting? mdp.39015063950011 From the bank, do n't you understand?"
mdp.39015063950011	From your wife?
mdp.39015063950011	Get her out? mdp.39015063950011 Has Furness been in?"
mdp.39015063950011	Have n't you a better quality?
mdp.39015063950011	Have you a telephone? mdp.39015063950011 Have you ever considered, Furness, how alone we are here?
mdp.39015063950011	Have you had anything to eat?
mdp.39015063950011	Have you heard from Furness yet?
mdp.39015063950011	How are we going to do any of these things, Mother, without any money?
mdp.39015063950011	How big's a lump of coal?
mdp.39015063950011	How did you get mixed up with this thing, Warrington? mdp.39015063950011 How do they live?"
mdp.39015063950011	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063950011	How do you, know my mother sold the bond?
mdp.39015063950011	How does any man know when his wife is lying to him? mdp.39015063950011 How long will it last?"
mdp.39015063950011	How long will it take?
mdp.39015063950011	How should I know where he's gone?
mdp.39015063950011	I am so sorry to trouble you,she said 54 TWO FLIGHTS UP cautiously,"but I wonder if you will do me a favour?"
mdp.39015063950011	I suppose I could n't go up there?
mdp.39015063950011	I suppose you know why you're here?
mdp.39015063950011	I suppose you've seen it, Furney?
mdp.39015063950011	I'm not very strong yet, and besides"Where were you to meet him?
mdp.39015063950011	I've promised to keep her out, have n't I?
mdp.39015063950011	Is Holly down there? — I want my tray, Holly.
mdp.39015063950011	Is it the lace? mdp.39015063950011 It has n't been found?"
mdp.39015063950011	James,Margaret said,"you remember Mr. Warrington, do n't you?
mdp.39015063950011	Just what do you mean?
mdp.39015063950011	Nothing seriously wrong, I hope?
mdp.39015063950011	Now what the hell's all that about?
mdp.39015063950011	Of course, you did n't really 61 TWO FLIGH TS UP thing that she should n't have sold? mdp.39015063950011 Oh, I do, do I?
mdp.39015063950011	Oh, did you ring? mdp.39015063950011 Oh, it was n't, eh?
mdp.39015063950011	Really? mdp.39015063950011 Run and bring the toast, will you, dar- ling?"
mdp.39015063950011	See this tablecloth, Cox?
mdp.39015063950011	Seen this, Smith?
mdp.39015063950011	She gave you a bond? mdp.39015063950011 She's been sick?"
mdp.39015063950011	So it does make a difference?
mdp.39015063950011	So you've travelled, have you?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose I take the suit- case down to my room overnight? mdp.39015063950011 Terrible, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063950011	Then where is this Warrington?
mdp.39015063950011	Then where? mdp.39015063950011 Then who the hell's running this bank?"
mdp.39015063950011	They're not going to let him out?
mdp.39015063950011	Was she alone?
mdp.39015063950011	Well, how on earth should one hold the thing?
mdp.39015063950011	Well, what do you want me to do about it?
mdp.39015063950011	Well, why should n't she?
mdp.39015063950011	Well,she said,"I dare say it's all right?"
mdp.39015063950011	What I mean is,he said more quietly,"you and I ca n't help that, can we?
mdp.39015063950011	What are you going to do about it?
mdp.39015063950011	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063950011	What do I care about Cox? mdp.39015063950011 What do you want?"
mdp.39015063950011	What has happened? mdp.39015063950011 What have they done?"
mdp.39015063950011	What is he hiding from? mdp.39015063950011 What is it you are looking for, Mother?"
mdp.39015063950011	What is there to do? mdp.39015063950011 What man?"
mdp.39015063950011	What the deuce would he think? mdp.39015063950011 What will they do?
mdp.39015063950011	What's Aunt Margaret done?
mdp.39015063950011	What's funny, sister? mdp.39015063950011 What's he been doing?
mdp.39015063950011	What's the cashier's name?
mdp.39015063950011	What's the matter? mdp.39015063950011 What's this you've got on the table?"
mdp.39015063950011	What's your own idea?
mdp.39015063950011	What?
mdp.39015063950011	What?
mdp.39015063950011	When the Bayne girl asked you to sell it, you did n't suspect that it was a part of the Harrison Bank loot?
mdp.39015063950011	When?
mdp.39015063950011	Where do you get that idea?
mdp.39015063950011	Who on earth ever let that hurdygurdy into the house?
mdp.39015063950011	Who's there?
mdp.39015063950011	Why did n't she send me word before this?
mdp.39015063950011	Why did you do it?
mdp.39015063950011	Why did your wife tell you that?
mdp.39015063950011	Why do n't you smoke?
mdp.39015063950011	Why do you say that?
mdp.39015063950011	Why hurry and spoil a good meal? mdp.39015063950011 Why not?
mdp.39015063950011	Why should you help us?
mdp.39015063950011	Why? mdp.39015063950011 Without dragging Mother in?"
mdp.39015063950011	Wo n't you come to bed, James? mdp.39015063950011 You do n't mean Tom Bayne's family?
mdp.39015063950011	You mean it did n't belong to her?
mdp.39015063950011	You still want me to get it out of the house?
mdp.39015063950011	You're not borrowing it?
mdp.39015063950011	You?
mdp.39015063950011	Your name Cox?
mdp.39015063950011	Your name Cox?
mdp.39015063950011	133 TWO FLIGHTS UP"You know I have to marry Furness, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063950011	182 TWO FLIGHTS UP"And you wo n't tell about the bond?"
mdp.39015063950011	195 TWO FLIGHTS UP"Who's downstairs?"
mdp.39015063950011	57 TWO FLIGHTS UP"Come over and sit by me, Holly, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063950011	A sick man and an ailing, helpless woman?
mdp.39015063950011	After all, what did it matter?
mdp.39015063950011	And 84 TWO FLIGHTS U P what will Furness Brooks think about it?"
mdp.39015063950011	And food?"
mdp.39015063950011	And to have it come up again just now — was there ever such rotten luck?
mdp.39015063950011	And what business is it of yours, anyhow?"
mdp.39015063950011	And when 233 TWO FLIGHTS UP James made no reply:"How long have you known this Warrington?"
mdp.39015063950011	And who was there to exonerate him?
mdp.39015063950011	And why?
mdp.39015063950011	And you sell bonds, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063950011	And —"she hesitated—"I do n't suppose you want him in here?"
mdp.39015063950011	Ask you?"
mdp.39015063950011	At least""At least the old lady does, eh?
mdp.39015063950011	Bayne?"
mdp.39015063950011	Bootlegging, or dodging his income tax?"
mdp.39015063950011	But Mrs. Bayne was speaking:"Have you ever considered — is it one lump 19 TWO FLIGHTS UP or two?
mdp.39015063950011	But all the rest of it, their pretense at gentility, their snobberies and hypocrisies; how about them?
mdp.39015063950011	But how could he?
mdp.39015063950011	But if the moment you get into trouble you want to get rid of me, what on earth are you going to do when you're married to me?"
mdp.39015063950011	But was n't there a fundamental immorality in the whole situation?
mdp.39015063950011	But why the poverty if they had had this hoard to draw upon?
mdp.39015063950011	By i57 TWO FLIGHTS UP the Lord Harry, would n't the damned story ever die?
mdp.39015063950011	Cox?"
mdp.39015063950011	Did you notice that car here last week?"
mdp.39015063950011	Do n't you suppose I would if I could?
mdp.39015063950011	Do we exist?
mdp.39015063950011	Do you know what they've done to i43 TWO FLIGHTS UP me?
mdp.39015063950011	Do you suppose Furness Brooks would stand for that?"
mdp.39015063950011	Do you want pneumonia?"
mdp.39015063950011	Do you want to take it along?"
mdp.39015063950011	Even if they do n't find it, what do we care?"
mdp.39015063950011	For God's sake, what's the matter?"
mdp.39015063950011	Had Holly been right, and had she discovered the hiding place by accident?
mdp.39015063950011	Have n't I tried for over a year?"
mdp.39015063950011	Have they got it?"
mdp.39015063950011	Have you thought of that?
mdp.39015063950011	He is n't hurt or sick, is he?"
mdp.39015063950011	He won quite a little money that night at bridge, and somebody said to him:"Does your — does Miss Bayne play?"
mdp.39015063950011	He's known about it all along, has n't he?"
mdp.39015063950011	How about going to the district attorney?
mdp.39015063950011	How are you going to get along without all this?"
mdp.39015063950011	How could he know that since that day in the kitchen he had occu- pied most of her thoughts?
mdp.39015063950011	How could he prove it?
mdp.39015063950011	How could she go away and leave those two there together?
mdp.39015063950011	How did one treat people like that, who were in one's house but not of it?
mdp.39015063950011	How do you propose to sup- port it?"
mdp.39015063950011	How is she now?"
mdp.39015063950011	How many evenings do you dine at home now?
mdp.39015063950011	I dare say you know that my daughter is to be married?"
mdp.39015063950011	I do n't suppose 210 TWO FLIGHTS UP you'll lock me up indefinitely without any clothes, will you?"
mdp.39015063950011	I understand your record's been clean, so far?"
mdp.39015063950011	I've got a right to go, have n't I?
mdp.39015063950011	IOI TWO FLIGHTS UP"Live at Number Eleven, Aurelia Apart- ments?"
mdp.39015063950011	If there was a fear of 53 TWO FLIGHTS U E her own weakness in quiet dignity toward him, who was to tell him that?
mdp.39015063950011	If we had n't landed you, where would you be now?
mdp.39015063950011	Is that it?"
mdp.39015063950011	It does n't look so good, does it?"
mdp.39015063950011	Just three women, and no man in the house?"
mdp.39015063950011	Look here, Mr. Cox, why do n't you get her out of there?"
mdp.39015063950011	Look here, have you and your precious family been living off that stuff all this time?
mdp.39015063950011	Make any sort of food taste good, eh?"
mdp.39015063950011	May I give you a cup of tea?"
mdp.39015063950011	Mr. Cox, you are related to a family named Bayne, I believe, on Kelsey Street?"
mdp.39015063950011	Now, what about it?"
mdp.39015063950011	One day he was shocked, passing Mrs. Bayne's door, to hear Holly say: 30 TWO FLIGHTS UP"But why?
mdp.39015063950011	Or Holly's?
mdp.39015063950011	Or are we only registered in the sensorium of the beholder?
mdp.39015063950011	Or had she known it all along?
mdp.39015063950011	Or marry the thin fellow who hung around?
mdp.39015063950011	Or she?
mdp.39015063950011	Playing peek- a- boo?"
mdp.39015063950011	Rather well?"
mdp.39015063950011	Sacrifices was a better one; that was what she was doing, sacrificing herself, selling herself; and for 64 TWO FLIGHTS UP what?
mdp.39015063950011	See?"
mdp.39015063950011	She had dragged him, 145 TWO FLIGHTS UP"What's the use?"
mdp.39015063950011	She's growing very stout, is n't she?"
mdp.39015063950011	Since when had Margaret forgotten that no lady appears on the street ungloved?
mdp.39015063950011	Stein- feldt, I took that bond and sold it,'eh?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose he broke his promise to Holly and told them that?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose on that visit of hers he had told her?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose poor Cox's heart had been weak?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose she had not happened on the suitcase but had known it was there?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose she""She's not likely to, before morning, is she?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose the fellow had followed him that morning and saw him leave the suitcase at the Cox apartment?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose the sister talks, and Cox tells you what he knows?
mdp.39015063950011	Suppose there was — risk?"
mdp.39015063950011	Then how the devil did he get the stuff?"
mdp.39015063950011	Then what in hell was the intention?
mdp.39015063950011	This aristocratic 127 TWO FLIGHTS UP sister- in- law of yours has put one over, see?
mdp.39015063950011	Those are what count, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063950011	Wait out there, will you, Lyell?"
mdp.39015063950011	Was n't there a charge of receiving stolen goods?
mdp.39015063950011	Well, why not let her take her shock?
mdp.39015063950011	Were you trying out the market?"
mdp.39015063950011	What about it?"
mdp.39015063950011	What about?"
mdp.39015063950011	What are we going to do?"
mdp.39015063950011	What are you doing with that cap?
mdp.39015063950011	What did anything matter but James Cox and the trouble they had brought to him?
mdp.39015063950011	What did it matter that her hands were red, and her mother recommend- ing glycerine and rose water at night to whiten them?
mdp.39015063950011	What did it matter whether they had Mrs. Carter in or not?
mdp.39015063950011	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063950011	What else was there to do?
mdp.39015063950011	What the devil do you fellows think you're doing with him?
mdp.39015063950011	What the devil would they have done if I had n't turned up?"
mdp.39015063950011	What were dreams against this stark reality?
mdp.39015063950011	What will they do?
mdp.39015063950011	What would he do, or say?
mdp.39015063950011	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063950011	When did she ever think of anybody but herself?
mdp.39015063950011	When is he coming?"
mdp.39015063950011	When it was found""Who found it?"
mdp.39015063950011	Where is the money?
mdp.39015063950011	Which door?"
mdp.39015063950011	Who's sick?"
mdp.39015063950011	Why did he leave the stuff at the Cox house instead of taking it to the bank?
mdp.39015063950011	Why not let Hilda carry it?"
mdp.39015063950011	Why on earth should she?"
mdp.39015063950011	Why the devil did n't she go out and get an Honest job of work?
mdp.39015063950011	Why?
mdp.39015063950011	Why?
mdp.39015063950011	Would n't you?"
mdp.39015063950011	You admit it's your suitcase?"
mdp.39015063950011	You do n't mind my saying that, Mrs. Cox?
mdp.39015063950011	You wear a hat usually, do n't you?
mdp.39015063950011	she said, peering down,'Who is it?"
mdp.39015038705995	'Where are we going?' mdp.39015038705995 A divisional?
mdp.39015038705995	A programme?
mdp.39015038705995	About Nichoune's death, perhaps?
mdp.39015038705995	Ah, no King of Spain affair?
mdp.39015038705995	Ah, then, you'll foot the bill, Bobine, if you have such a rich situation?
mdp.39015038705995	Ah, well, since you have been so obliging, it would give me pleasure to introduce you to some people, if you would care for it? mdp.39015038705995 Am I to think you are afraid?"
mdp.39015038705995	And Mademoiselle Berthe?
mdp.39015038705995	And Nancy?
mdp.39015038705995	And now you want to get to your new regiment?
mdp.39015038705995	And now, what will you take?
mdp.39015038705995	And suppose it were so? mdp.39015038705995 And that is — Fandor?"
mdp.39015038705995	And that is — Fandor?
mdp.39015038705995	And the taxi- driver? mdp.39015038705995 And then he has a daughter, has he not?"
mdp.39015038705995	And then?
mdp.39015038705995	And what are the conditions, Colonel?
mdp.39015038705995	And what did they declare?
mdp.39015038705995	And what did this precious priest suspect?
mdp.39015038705995	And what quantity, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015038705995	And you can reserve three rooms for us?
mdp.39015038705995	And you did? mdp.39015038705995 And you, Juve?"
mdp.39015038705995	And,asked Fandor, hesitating a little,"you have... supplied him with all this?"
mdp.39015038705995	And,cried she,"who killed the real Corporal Vin- son but a few days ago in the rue du Cherche- Midi?
mdp.39015038705995	Anything new?
mdp.39015038705995	Anything new?
mdp.39015038705995	Are they still investigating?
mdp.39015038705995	Are things still going well, Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	Are you sure the message is for me?
mdp.39015038705995	As much as that? mdp.39015038705995 As much as that?"
mdp.39015038705995	Aunt Palmyra?
mdp.39015038705995	Belfort? mdp.39015038705995 Brothers, are you prepared to risk all for our Cause?"
mdp.39015038705995	But how?
mdp.39015038705995	But suppose Juve is right?
mdp.39015038705995	But tell me, Monsieur, may I ask you a question? mdp.39015038705995 But what are you thinking of, Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	But what prevents you now from masquerading as Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	But when? mdp.39015038705995 But where must I go?"
mdp.39015038705995	But why?
mdp.39015038705995	But,cried Vagualame, who feigned sudden com- prehension of this document's importance,"but that is equivalent to a complete plan of mobilisation?"
mdp.39015038705995	Butler?
mdp.39015038705995	By Jove, old man, why be gloomy?
mdp.39015038705995	Can I give you a lift?
mdp.39015038705995	Come now, Nichoune, what is your reason? mdp.39015038705995 Dead?
mdp.39015038705995	Dead?
mdp.39015038705995	Did I imagine it?
mdp.39015038705995	Did n't I hear just now that this boat goes to Calais?
mdp.39015038705995	Did you hear, Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	Did you hear?
mdp.39015038705995	Did you know Captain Brocq?
mdp.39015038705995	Did you see?
mdp.39015038705995	Disguised as a gipsy, Vagualame? mdp.39015038705995 Do n't I tell you, old unbeliever that you are, that Corporal Vinson is to bring the plan of the piece in question?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do n't you suspect, Fandor?
mdp.39015038705995	Do n't you understand? mdp.39015038705995 Do you know anything about linotypes?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know the name of these individuals?
mdp.39015038705995	Do you recall a certain conversation, Monsieur de Naarboveck, between detective Juve and the real Vagualame at Jerome Fandor's flat?
mdp.39015038705995	Do you remember, Monsieur de Naarboveck, that evening when the police came here to arrest Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	Does it happen to have for number i430 G-7?
mdp.39015038705995	Does that not tell you anything?
mdp.39015038705995	Does your chauffeur know the route, Monsieur l'Abbe?
mdp.39015038705995	Empty? mdp.39015038705995 Fantomas?
mdp.39015038705995	Good evening, Sophie,said Vagualame:"Anything new?"
mdp.39015038705995	Has she not told you, then, that she was expecting someone from her part of the country to call on her?
mdp.39015038705995	Have you been long with the Verdun garrison?
mdp.39015038705995	Have you forgotten that you told me how you had assassinated Captain Brocq?
mdp.39015038705995	Have you got consciences — your sort?
mdp.39015038705995	Have you just now a particularly sharp agent? mdp.39015038705995 Have you solved a new problem, or are you thinking of a dark woman?"
mdp.39015038705995	Have you the portfolio of this dead man?
mdp.39015038705995	He saw?
mdp.39015038705995	How about next Wednesday?
mdp.39015038705995	How do you know that Mademoiselle de Naarboveck showed grief at the death of Captain Brocq?
mdp.39015038705995	How is it I find you here at this time of day?
mdp.39015038705995	How long shall we be getting across?
mdp.39015038705995	How much will you pay?
mdp.39015038705995	How? mdp.39015038705995 How?
mdp.39015038705995	I and my woman prisoner?
mdp.39015038705995	I have not been to bed, have I not? mdp.39015038705995 I hope so — why?"
mdp.39015038705995	I mean — you do not find the discipline severe?
mdp.39015038705995	I was disguised, Michel, was I not?
mdp.39015038705995	If there is anything, where is it likely to be?
mdp.39015038705995	If you do not attribute this crime to Fant6mas, then at whose door do you lay it?
mdp.39015038705995	In a fortnight's time? mdp.39015038705995 In that case,"said Fandor,"will you look on the deed as done, and take it that you are no longer in exist- ence?"
mdp.39015038705995	In which case?
mdp.39015038705995	Information for a report?
mdp.39015038705995	Is Bobinette dead, then?
mdp.39015038705995	Is Captain Brocq's mistress dead, too? mdp.39015038705995 Is he Corporal Vinson?"
mdp.39015038705995	Is he at Verdun?
mdp.39015038705995	Is her room empty?
mdp.39015038705995	Is it far to the parsonage?
mdp.39015038705995	Is that all you have to say?
mdp.39015038705995	Is that man Corporal Vinson?
mdp.39015038705995	Is this agreed to?
mdp.39015038705995	It is Verdun, then, we can see over there?
mdp.39015038705995	It is your right,grumbled the man:"Have you finished your interrogation of the accused Fandor?"
mdp.39015038705995	Juve, I ask you why you are so upset?
mdp.39015038705995	Juve, are you on duty here?
mdp.39015038705995	Juve, can you bring me face to face with this man? mdp.39015038705995 Mademoiselle Nichoune is not in, is she?"
mdp.39015038705995	Monsieur Fandor?
mdp.39015038705995	Monsieur de Naarboveck, if you please?
mdp.39015038705995	Monsieur l'Abbe,declared Fandor,"I am frozen to death.. Would you object to our stopping a minute so that I might swallow a glass of rum?"
mdp.39015038705995	Must he go down the stairs?
mdp.39015038705995	My last crime?
mdp.39015038705995	Naarboveck?
mdp.39015038705995	Naturally,replied de Naarboveck:"Did not your colleague let you know that my secretary had joined me?"
mdp.39015038705995	Naturally/'^ Vagualame insisted:Dangerous, as well?"
mdp.39015038705995	Nichoune? mdp.39015038705995 No more?"
mdp.39015038705995	No, my good man — what do you want with her?
mdp.39015038705995	No, there were none, but what matters that?
mdp.39015038705995	Nothing unusual this morning, Loubersac?
mdp.39015038705995	Now, Corporal,said he,"shall we empty a bottle together in honour of our meeting?"
mdp.39015038705995	Now, how the deuce am I to know what this famous word is?
mdp.39015038705995	Of course, Mademoiselle, we make similar ribbons for you and your partner; but would you kindly tell me if the gentleman is tall or short? mdp.39015038705995 Of the new bakehouse, then?"
mdp.39015038705995	Of whom are you afraid?
mdp.39015038705995	Ought I to get out?
mdp.39015038705995	Our corporal must have returned to Verdun today?
mdp.39015038705995	Proofs? mdp.39015038705995 Really?
mdp.39015038705995	Really?
mdp.39015038705995	Reasons?
mdp.39015038705995	Right? mdp.39015038705995 Roubaix?
mdp.39015038705995	Shall we get in? mdp.39015038705995 Should we walk on a little, talking as we go?"
mdp.39015038705995	Something serious?
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose this abbe is playing a trick on me? mdp.39015038705995 Sure of it?"
mdp.39015038705995	Surely Your Majesty does not wish to put me on the horns of such a dilemma? mdp.39015038705995 Tell me, has anything new come to light in that affair?"
mdp.39015038705995	Tell me, my friend, have you, by chance, received a telegram addressed to the Abbe Gendron?
mdp.39015038705995	That is Corporal Vinson, then?
mdp.39015038705995	That is obvious, is it not?
mdp.39015038705995	That? mdp.39015038705995 That?
mdp.39015038705995	The 257th?
mdp.39015038705995	The V. affair? mdp.39015038705995 The crowd?"
mdp.39015038705995	The meeting place to- morrow?
mdp.39015038705995	The number? mdp.39015038705995 The police?
mdp.39015038705995	Then it is an artilleryman again?
mdp.39015038705995	Then what conclusion have you arrived at? mdp.39015038705995 Then you declare you had no idea of what they were taking with them in your car?"
mdp.39015038705995	Therefore, Fandor?
mdp.39015038705995	These letters had no envelopes with them?
mdp.39015038705995	This doctor did not point out to you the cause of death?
mdp.39015038705995	This evening?
mdp.39015038705995	This professor did not explain what he meant by'death due to inhibition'?
mdp.39015038705995	Three rooms? mdp.39015038705995 To pass the time till our friends arrive, what do you 146 A NEST OF SPIES say to visiting the workshops?
mdp.39015038705995	To the sergeant? mdp.39015038705995 To what do I owe the honour of your visit, gentle- men?"
mdp.39015038705995	Tuesday, November 29th, you were in the shoes of Vinson — is that so?
mdp.39015038705995	Until you got a billet at The Big Tun?
mdp.39015038705995	Vagualame, would you like a highly paid commis- sion?
mdp.39015038705995	Vagualame? mdp.39015038705995 Was the cure with him?"
mdp.39015038705995	We are not going to stop?
mdp.39015038705995	We are thoroughly agreed, Monsieur, are we not, re- garding the conditions of the accident? mdp.39015038705995 We leave together — what more natural?"
mdp.39015038705995	Well, my dear Fandor, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
mdp.39015038705995	Well, then, when can we meet?
mdp.39015038705995	Well, then?
mdp.39015038705995	Well, what do you think, Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	Well, what is it? mdp.39015038705995 Well, what now?"
mdp.39015038705995	Well, what of it?
mdp.39015038705995	Well, what then?
mdp.39015038705995	Well?
mdp.39015038705995	Well?
mdp.39015038705995	Well?
mdp.39015038705995	What ails you, Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	What are you going to do, Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	What are you looking for in particular, Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	What are you saying?
mdp.39015038705995	What are you thinking about?
mdp.39015038705995	What are you two up to now?
mdp.39015038705995	What can he want to see me about?
mdp.39015038705995	What can you do?
mdp.39015038705995	What did he suppose was the cause of death?
mdp.39015038705995	What did you do?
mdp.39015038705995	What do I care? mdp.39015038705995 What do I mean, my boy?
mdp.39015038705995	What do I offer?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you mean, Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you mean?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you mean?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you say to that? mdp.39015038705995 What do you think of her?"
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want me to do now?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want me to do, then?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want to say?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want with me?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want with the 257th of the line?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want?
mdp.39015038705995	What do you want?
mdp.39015038705995	What exactly does Your Majesty mean?
mdp.39015038705995	What exactly is he going to spring upon me now?
mdp.39015038705995	What for?
mdp.39015038705995	What is Bobinette's social position?
mdp.39015038705995	What is his game?
mdp.39015038705995	What is it, then?
mdp.39015038705995	What is it? mdp.39015038705995 What is it?"
mdp.39015038705995	What is it?
mdp.39015038705995	What is it?
mdp.39015038705995	What is that you say?
mdp.39015038705995	What is the matter, Henri?
mdp.39015038705995	What is the position, Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	What is your name?
mdp.39015038705995	What must I say, then, if, by chance, I am ques- tioned?
mdp.39015038705995	What of the Baron, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015038705995	What should it be? mdp.39015038705995 What the deuce does he refer to?"
mdp.39015038705995	What the deuce is the meaning of all this?
mdp.39015038705995	What the devil do you mean?
mdp.39015038705995	What then, Chief?
mdp.39015038705995	What then?
mdp.39015038705995	What they were taking with them in my car?
mdp.39015038705995	What was that you were saying just now? mdp.39015038705995 What were you doing?"
mdp.39015038705995	What's all this humbugging claptrap you are giving me?
mdp.39015038705995	What's been your lay? mdp.39015038705995 What's that you say?"
mdp.39015038705995	What's your offer?
mdp.39015038705995	What, little one?
mdp.39015038705995	What, then, do you refer to, Monsieur Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	What?
mdp.39015038705995	What?
mdp.39015038705995	What?
mdp.39015038705995	When shall you see him?
mdp.39015038705995	When?
mdp.39015038705995	Where am I?
mdp.39015038705995	Where are they?
mdp.39015038705995	Where have I seen that long beard — that remarkably heavy moustache? mdp.39015038705995 Where is Lieutenant de Loubersac this morning?"
mdp.39015038705995	Where is my cure?
mdp.39015038705995	Where were you bound for, Wilhelmine?
mdp.39015038705995	Where you are now?
mdp.39015038705995	Where?
mdp.39015038705995	Where?
mdp.39015038705995	Who are you, Madame? mdp.39015038705995 Who are you, Madame?"
mdp.39015038705995	Who are you?
mdp.39015038705995	Who can it be at this hour?
mdp.39015038705995	Who could? mdp.39015038705995 Who did the deeds?
mdp.39015038705995	Who does?
mdp.39015038705995	Who is Fantomas?
mdp.39015038705995	Who is he?
mdp.39015038705995	Who is there?
mdp.39015038705995	Who nevertheless what? mdp.39015038705995 Who then?"
mdp.39015038705995	Who told you that I had not so decided? mdp.39015038705995 Whoever are you?"
mdp.39015038705995	Why are you carrying on like this? mdp.39015038705995 Why ask me to come in uniform?
mdp.39015038705995	Why should I be?
mdp.39015038705995	Why this change of destination?
mdp.39015038705995	Why, after so much mystery, such precautions, does this Judas of an abbe disclose the contents of that damn- able package before its delivery? mdp.39015038705995 Why, is that so, indeed, Colonel?"
mdp.39015038705995	Why? mdp.39015038705995 Why?"
mdp.39015038705995	Will Monsieur kindly follow me?
mdp.39015038705995	Will you get up first, Corporal? mdp.39015038705995 Will you never be able to love me again?"
mdp.39015038705995	Will you not allow me to introduce you to some charming girls?
mdp.39015038705995	Will you tell me yours?
mdp.39015038705995	With Juve?
mdp.39015038705995	Would you allow me to accompany you?
mdp.39015038705995	Yes, Monsieur, and you also, no doubt?
mdp.39015038705995	Yes?
mdp.39015038705995	You acknowledge then, that these notes were in your possession?
mdp.39015038705995	You are a musician, are you?
mdp.39015038705995	You are awake, Corporal?
mdp.39015038705995	You are constantly looking for it, of course? mdp.39015038705995 You are going to give me something for Roubaix again?"
mdp.39015038705995	You are going to put Captain Muller in the way of things here, Commandant, are you not?
mdp.39015038705995	You are looking into this Brocq affair, Juve? mdp.39015038705995 You are not bored?"
mdp.39015038705995	You are not going to bore me again with your ideas of marriage?
mdp.39015038705995	You are off at once, Vinson?
mdp.39015038705995	You are soldiers of the second class in the 213th of the line, and fulfil the functions of staff orderlies?
mdp.39015038705995	You are sure of that?
mdp.39015038705995	You are sure of that?
mdp.39015038705995	You are the person who said T?
mdp.39015038705995	You ask me who I am? mdp.39015038705995 You ask me,"replied he,"what criminal could be daring enough to do this?
mdp.39015038705995	You asked to see Monsieur de Naarboveck, did you not? mdp.39015038705995 You await Monsieur Fandor?"
mdp.39015038705995	You can give us dinner?
mdp.39015038705995	You confess, then?
mdp.39015038705995	You do n't think, do you, Vagualame, that I take you for an old man? mdp.39015038705995 You do not believe me, Juve?"
mdp.39015038705995	You do not know about the Chalons affair — the as- sassination of the singer, Nichoune?
mdp.39015038705995	You do not wish to be our faithful letter- box any more?
mdp.39015038705995	You have a coach- house where the car can be put up?
mdp.39015038705995	You have friends in Verdun, sir?
mdp.39015038705995	You have made out your report?
mdp.39015038705995	You have not received vexatious instructions, I hope, Monsieur l'Abbe?
mdp.39015038705995	You have not seen him for a week?
mdp.39015038705995	You have proof of it? mdp.39015038705995 You have proof of it?"
mdp.39015038705995	You have read that?
mdp.39015038705995	You have serious circumstantial evidence against this person?
mdp.39015038705995	You know Corporal Vinson?
mdp.39015038705995	You know her very well, then?
mdp.39015038705995	You know something else?
mdp.39015038705995	You know what it is, do you, Corporal?
mdp.39015038705995	You know where my car it?
mdp.39015038705995	You maintain that you did not assume the person- ality of Vinson before that date?
mdp.39015038705995	You paid back your sister?
mdp.39015038705995	You told me just now that Prof. Barrell chanced to be present at the moment of death?
mdp.39015038705995	You will excuse my absence this morning? mdp.39015038705995 You will return, will you not, Corporal?"
mdp.39015038705995	You will sleep with all your clothes on?
mdp.39015038705995	You, Bonnet? mdp.39015038705995 Young soldiers in garrison towns have a deuced poor time of it — is that not so?
mdp.39015038705995	Your cure?
mdp.39015038705995	Your father?
mdp.39015038705995	Your sister?
mdp.39015038705995	'9"How about the document?"
mdp.39015038705995	.. Have you an idea of where the document was lost?"
mdp.39015038705995	.. Will you, there- fore, hand him this envelope?"
mdp.39015038705995	.."Which means to say?"
mdp.39015038705995	... Do you see it?
mdp.39015038705995	... Do you think she will be long, my little Nichoune?"
mdp.39015038705995	... No doubt you refer to the marriage of Wilhelmine?"
mdp.39015038705995	... Will you order that the further hearing of this case be in camera?"
mdp.39015038705995	... Would Juve ever have his revenge?
mdp.39015038705995	... You have read my articles?"
mdp.39015038705995	.?"
mdp.39015038705995	16 XXVIII AT"THE CRYING CALF""What's your drink?"
mdp.39015038705995	300 A NEST OF SPIES Who among them could recognise the unknown, elusive bandit, Fantomas?
mdp.39015038705995	312 A NEST OF SPIES affair grows more and more complicated, and who will come forward to elucidate it?"
mdp.39015038705995	43 44 A NEST OF SPIES"What's the matter with you, Fandor?"
mdp.39015038705995	76 A NEST OF SPIES"Thirty thousand?"
mdp.39015038705995	82 A NEST OF SPIES"You do not want to hand this over to Belfort?"
mdp.39015038705995	A beggar?
mdp.39015038705995	A flock of suspicions crowded his mind: might he not have fallen into a trap?
mdp.39015038705995	A police spy?
mdp.39015038705995	After their cordial handshake, Juve, wishing to define the situation, asked:"Now what are we after exactly — you and I?
mdp.39015038705995	Ah, you are new here, are you not?
mdp.39015038705995	All she asked, in a timid voice, was:"Where am I to go then?"
mdp.39015038705995	All she said was:"Have our brothers been warned, Vagualame?"
mdp.39015038705995	Am I speaking to Headquarters of Police?"
mdp.39015038705995	An in- spector will be here in ten minutes?
mdp.39015038705995	And he had never been able to find a satisfactory answer to"Who is Fantomas?"
mdp.39015038705995	And is it to be supposed that I am going to allow you to make off again without asking you to ex- plain yourself and this extraordinary situation?"
mdp.39015038705995	And that at the very moment when he leaned out of the window of the vehicle to give the chauffeur his instructions?"
mdp.39015038705995	And you, Butler?"
mdp.39015038705995	And you, Monsieur l'Abbe?
mdp.39015038705995	And, Corporal... we know some officers — if you want leave now and again — you must let us know — will you not?"
mdp.39015038705995	Anything fresh?"
mdp.39015038705995	Are all well at Monsieur de Naarboveck's?
mdp.39015038705995	Are you alone in your room?"
mdp.39015038705995	Are you aware that rumours of war are becoming wide- spread?
mdp.39015038705995	Are you frozen, you two?
mdp.39015038705995	Are you mad?"
mdp.39015038705995	Are you quite certain about the facts yourself?
mdp.39015038705995	Are you ready?"
mdp.39015038705995	Are you reporting the official fetes nowadays?"
mdp.39015038705995	Arrest Bobinette?
mdp.39015038705995	As Bobinette uttered these last words, the old accor- dion player chuckled sneeringly:"So that's what you think?
mdp.39015038705995	As he made his way home on foot, he asked himself:"What are they looking for?"
mdp.39015038705995	Assuredly not the unknown who had fled so mysteriously—"Who then?"
mdp.39015038705995	At the close he asked abruptly:"Now what are we going to do?"
mdp.39015038705995	At this Nichoune blazed out:"What the matter is?
mdp.39015038705995	But FANTOMAS 83 I do n't suppose you want to leave your old comrade in a fix, do you?"
mdp.39015038705995	But by whom?
mdp.39015038705995	But how pull the scales from off eyes blinded by fan- aticism?
mdp.39015038705995	But what sort of woman are you, Bobinette, to try and deceive me?
mdp.39015038705995	But who then, according to you, Chief, has killed Brocq?"
mdp.39015038705995	But who, then, is she?"
mdp.39015038705995	But why are you putting all this furni- ture in the gallery?"
mdp.39015038705995	But, no doubt you have friends here, Corporal?"
mdp.39015038705995	But, would not a priest, accustomed to wear a cassock, act as a woman would?
mdp.39015038705995	Call out?
mdp.39015038705995	Can I be use- ful to you?
mdp.39015038705995	Can you convict him of his imposture in my pres- ence?"
mdp.39015038705995	Can you recover it?"
mdp.39015038705995	Can you see me in a drawing- room, playing my tricks with the colonel's wife, the general's wife, with the whole blessed lot of them?
mdp.39015038705995	Could Fandor believe his ears?
mdp.39015038705995	Could Juve believe his ears?
mdp.39015038705995	Could cynicism — could mordant irony go further?
mdp.39015038705995	Could he find a pretext which would take him aboard — justify a thor- 204 FANTOMAS 205 ough investigation of boat and crew?
mdp.39015038705995	Could he possibly realise that Vagualame was one of Colonel Hofferman's most trusted men?
mdp.39015038705995	Could he, at one and the same time, trick the French Army and save it?
mdp.39015038705995	Could her overstrung nerves be play- ing her tricks?
mdp.39015038705995	De Naarboveck's gesture might mean anything:"Who?"
mdp.39015038705995	Deuce take it, you do not suppose I go by what these officers of the Second Bureau are doing in the way of a search, do you?
mdp.39015038705995	Did Wilhelmine lack intuition?
mdp.39015038705995	Did he hear a distant, stifled groan?
mdp.39015038705995	Did he manage to extract any information?"
mdp.39015038705995	Did he not know Vagualame, the real Vagualame?
mdp.39015038705995	Did he not see cords binding the limbs of Fantomas?
mdp.39015038705995	Did she really love him, this woman with her whimsical ways, her independent attitude, this elusive woman who never gave herself entirely?
mdp.39015038705995	Did the Second Bureau suspect anything?
mdp.39015038705995	Do they know I came in mufti this morning?
mdp.39015038705995	Do you even know why you are here?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know anything about the priest and the soldier who hired your car and you?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know anything about the working of these machines?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know where Juve is at this moment?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know where it is?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know who has struck the blow?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you know who killed Captain Brocq?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you not think the link between these two names is evident?
mdp.39015038705995	Do you recollect, Vagualame, that I shall have to hand it over early to- morrow morning?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you swear it still?"
mdp.39015038705995	Do you think it funny that your orderly should read them to his coun- try- woman?
mdp.39015038705995	Does it happen to be red, and will seat four persons?"
mdp.39015038705995	Drawing Juve aside, he asked:"Juve, what is Headquarters thinking about?"
mdp.39015038705995	Du- moulin was fully alive to the importance of his position: was he not the repository of the famous key which un- locked the steel press?
mdp.39015038705995	During how many sleepless nights had his mind not been full of it?
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 125"Are you going to Verdun?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 127"Perhaps you think it is Bobinette?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 155"You are anxious, then?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 161"But — how shall you get into it?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 179 Now he came to examine him, surely this priest's face had a queer look?
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 211"What is happening, then?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 25"I am to confess that I knew him?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 263"Hiloire?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 265"What do you mean by that?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 291 cords binding him about the middle, constricting his whole body?
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 295"You here, Monsieur?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 40"Grave?"
mdp.39015038705995	FANTOMAS 47"You accuse Fantomas?
mdp.39015038705995	Fandor interrupted:"But, my good corporal, why are you telling me all this?"
mdp.39015038705995	Fantomas, what have I done?"
mdp.39015038705995	From the throat of this Fandor- Fantomas issued a long- drawn howl of ragel XXXIII RECONCILIATION"Which do you prefer, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015038705995	From this evening, Baron, are you not then the representative of the kingdom of Hesse- Weimar?
mdp.39015038705995	Had Nichoune's murder been explained?
mdp.39015038705995	Had Vinson and the priest been warned that detectives were hot on their trail?
mdp.39015038705995	Had he also followed them?
mdp.39015038705995	Had he been happily inspired to speak so to him of the girl he loved, the enigmatic Wilhelmine?
mdp.39015038705995	Had he heard aright?
mdp.39015038705995	Had he not opened the door?
mdp.39015038705995	Had he not promised ab- solute secrecy?
mdp.39015038705995	Had not Juve, as Vagualame, clearly insinuated that Wilhel- mine de Naarboveck must have been the mistress of Captain Brocq?
mdp.39015038705995	Had not de Loubersac protested vehe- mently against such an odious calumny?
mdp.39015038705995	Had she not given him permission to call her Wilhelmine, and did he not cherish the hope of soon making her his wife?
mdp.39015038705995	Had something arisen which was going to prevent his de- parture?
mdp.39015038705995	Had they been warned and stopped?
mdp.39015038705995	Hand me the promised document, will you?
mdp.39015038705995	Has Mademoiselle Wilhel- mine recovered from the sad shock of Captain Brocq's death?
mdp.39015038705995	Has it passed this way?"
mdp.39015038705995	Has the counter verification been carried out?
mdp.39015038705995	Have I not told you twenty times that I am going away for a fortnight's holi- day?
mdp.39015038705995	Have They Bolted?
mdp.39015038705995	Have they been shown the body of the real Corporal Vinson?"
mdp.39015038705995	Have you further information about Brocq's death?"
mdp.39015038705995	Have you not spoken of your dear dead, and must I learn that you are perhaps going to pray... at the tomb of Captain Brocq?"
mdp.39015038705995	Have you noticed that for some time past I have not handed you any report from the agent Vagua- lame?"
mdp.39015038705995	Have you seen it?"
mdp.39015038705995	He declared to me, the other day, that he was certain the death of Captain Brocq must be cred- ited to — whose account do you think?
mdp.39015038705995	He questioned in his turn:"Why?"
mdp.39015038705995	He shot a question at Fandor:"Are we far from Verdun?"
mdp.39015038705995	He shot a question at it"Who spoke?"
mdp.39015038705995	He turned to the hotel- keeper:"Tell me just how far the parsonage is from here?"
mdp.39015038705995	How are you?"
mdp.39015038705995	How are you?"
mdp.39015038705995	How are you?"
mdp.39015038705995	How could Wil- helmine be wholly innocent of the terribly compromising actions of her daily companion?
mdp.39015038705995	How could Wilhelmine be entirely ignorant of this dreadful creature's character?
mdp.39015038705995	How could a pure girl breathe the miasmic atmosphere which must emanate from the soul of this abominable woman?
mdp.39015038705995	How could an arrested Vagualame send her a telegram, and such a telegram?
mdp.39015038705995	How could he show up Trokoff as he really was?
mdp.39015038705995	How could this person have committed sui- cide without having been seen in the act by someone?
mdp.39015038705995	How could you imagine the infernal trick this bandit was playing on you?
mdp.39015038705995	How dare you accost me like this?
mdp.39015038705995	How delicate his skin?
mdp.39015038705995	How do you know that?"
mdp.39015038705995	How goes it?"
mdp.39015038705995	How intelligent he was?
mdp.39015038705995	How many more times am I to tell you this?"
mdp.39015038705995	How proceed?
mdp.39015038705995	How that?
mdp.39015038705995	How the devil was he going to escape from this wasp's nest?
mdp.39015038705995	How to act?
mdp.39015038705995	How to prove to them he was not Fantomas?
mdp.39015038705995	How?
mdp.39015038705995	How?"
mdp.39015038705995	I expect you have forgotten the details concerning this object?
mdp.39015038705995	I fancy, Monsieur the Ambassador, that you are satisfied with this nomination?"
mdp.39015038705995	I have betrayed myself?
mdp.39015038705995	I hope, Monsieur Fandor, that you do not contest the exactitude of the Bertillion method?"
mdp.39015038705995	I?
mdp.39015038705995	I?"
mdp.39015038705995	If it were the traitor Vinson?
mdp.39015038705995	If these people have discovered my identity?
mdp.39015038705995	In a strangely solemn voice, Bobinette replied:"You would know the history of the guilty person?
mdp.39015038705995	In the name of death and destruction, why?"
mdp.39015038705995	In what way?"
mdp.39015038705995	Instead, she had become a hospital nurse.1 Here the colonel interrupted:"What can these details matter to us, Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015038705995	Is he with you?"
mdp.39015038705995	Is it difficult to earn?"
mdp.39015038705995	Is it not a good — a perfect imitation?"
mdp.39015038705995	Is that not a crime worthy of Fantomas?"
mdp.39015038705995	Is that your opinion, Colonel?"
mdp.39015038705995	It will be for you?"
mdp.39015038705995	Just as he got up to them, he heard the priest say in a tart voice to the man in the fur coat, now standing in the road:"Whatever is the matter?
mdp.39015038705995	Just now, ten, five minutes ago — did you not see a lady — young — she had red hair — did she not pass this way?
mdp.39015038705995	Lady Beltham?
mdp.39015038705995	Live by charity?
mdp.39015038705995	Look now, it is quite three minutes since de Naarboveck disappeared from here, and you imagine there is still time to catch him?
mdp.39015038705995	Lose Your Majesty's friend- ship, confidence, or let pass a unique opportunity?"
mdp.39015038705995	More and more astonished, Wilhelmine replied:"And suppose I were going to do so?
mdp.39015038705995	No doubt he would soon secure additional information; but what was the connecting link?
mdp.39015038705995	Not the slightest trace of a beard?
mdp.39015038705995	Nothing serious?"
mdp.39015038705995	Now tell me is there no railway along the route we are following?"
mdp.39015038705995	Now, Fandor, how can I tolerate this?"
mdp.39015038705995	Now, what was she doing there — what was her object?
mdp.39015038705995	Now, whom shall I meet to- night at this cursed rendez- vous, and what is the business?
mdp.39015038705995	Now, why have you asked me that ques- tion?"
mdp.39015038705995	Oh, my poor Nichoune, however could this have happened?'
mdp.39015038705995	On the way from the Place de 1'fitoile here?
mdp.39015038705995	Play the poltroon?
mdp.39015038705995	Presently Wilhel- mine asked: 130 FANTOMAS 131"But what brought you in this direction?"
mdp.39015038705995	Presently he asked:"Where do you think of going?"
mdp.39015038705995	Presently she asked, rather anxiously:"Are you likely to be away a long time, sir?"
mdp.39015038705995	Professor Barrell replied in a low voice:"To a chem- ist's?
mdp.39015038705995	Said one:"You know their room, do n't you?
mdp.39015038705995	Shall I arrive too late?"
mdp.39015038705995	She submit to the humiliation of arrest, the long- drawn- out agonies of cross- examinations, the tortures of imprison- ment in Noumea?
mdp.39015038705995	Should I be doing wrong to pray for the repose of the soul of the unfortunate Captain Brocq, who was one of my best friends?"
mdp.39015038705995	Should I blow out the candle, Corporal?"
mdp.39015038705995	Should he answer it?
mdp.39015038705995	Shrewd?"
mdp.39015038705995	Since last night had not his own mind been distressed by the mys- teries he divined in this strange death?
mdp.39015038705995	Some of the house- hold?
mdp.39015038705995	Still anxious, Angelique went on:"Perhaps you intend to change your housekeeper when you return, Monsieur Fandor?
mdp.39015038705995	Sup- pose he knows of our arrival at Dieppe?
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose Bobinette's agitation was so marked that it aroused their suspicions, and his presence was revealed?
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose I say monoplane?"
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose de Lou- bersac, instead of questioning her, broke with her?
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose that after six months of truce, six months of tranquillity, your whole existence is again violently upset?
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose the two traitors, being warned, have given our men the slip on the way?
mdp.39015038705995	Suppose this stop at Rouen was caused by the telegram they received at the garage?
mdp.39015038705995	Tell me, Bobinette, who is less worthy of pity than the cowardly criminal who be- trays his accomplice?
mdp.39015038705995	Tell me, Bobinette, who is more hateful than the Judas who sells you with a kiss?
mdp.39015038705995	Tell me, is it the same on your side?"
mdp.39015038705995	Than the bandit who delivers up his chief for money, perhaps for less than money—1 because of fear — who betrays his master to save his own skin?"
mdp.39015038705995	That is according to our arrangement, is it not?"
mdp.39015038705995	That is it?
mdp.39015038705995	That will suit you — I think?"
mdp.39015038705995	That your concierge should know all about them?
mdp.39015038705995	That's so, Dumoulin?"
mdp.39015038705995	The bandit pronounced"I?"
mdp.39015038705995	The chauffeur insisted:"But, how far do you think it is, Corporal, from here to it, in a straight line?
mdp.39015038705995	The chauffeur stared in turn: then he asked:"Well?
mdp.39015038705995	The chauffeur turned:"Can I stop, Monsieur?
mdp.39015038705995	The commandant cried angrily:"What kind of imbeciles are you?
mdp.39015038705995	The constable made a suggestion:"Had we not better take this individual to a chemist's?"
mdp.39015038705995	The death of Cap- tain Brocq coincides with the loss of a certain secret document: is it for you or for us to institute an enquiry into it?"
mdp.39015038705995	The deceased was a captain — isn't that so?
mdp.39015038705995	The devil was in it?
mdp.39015038705995	The fugitives were long in coming: had they got wind of what was afoot?
mdp.39015038705995	The journalist considered him an instant, then asked:"To whom have I the honour of speaking?"
mdp.39015038705995	The man who had opened to him asked:"What name shall I give to the gentlemen, Monsieur?"
mdp.39015038705995	The multi- col- oured cockades or the bows of ribbon in one shade?
mdp.39015038705995	The number of this taxi?"
mdp.39015038705995	The old man murmured:"What the devil is it a ques- tion of?"
mdp.39015038705995	The prime mover of these mysteries?
mdp.39015038705995	The soldier came forward a step: then, as if making an effort, he articulated painfully:"Will you permit me to enter?
mdp.39015038705995	Then Juve asked:"Nevertheless, Lieutenant, since I find^you here, I fancy there is some side development — some incident?
mdp.39015038705995	Then in a changed voice, a solemn voice with a sharp note in it, he said:"You know about Captain Brocq's sudden death, of course?
mdp.39015038705995	Then she asked anxiously:"But where were you?"
mdp.39015038705995	Then what did her master want with her here, and at such an hour?
mdp.39015038705995	Then, in a tone of rising anger, he continued:"And you think me mad?
mdp.39015038705995	Then, in a voice quivering with sarcasm, he enquired:"Am I to be permitted to know what it is all about?"
mdp.39015038705995	They have not arrived yet; but there is no need to wait for a regular introduction — what do you think?"
mdp.39015038705995	They were leaving Paris — for what destina- tion?"
mdp.39015038705995	This is the way, then, you FANTOMAS 203 steal guns to help the Germans to shoot the French?
mdp.39015038705995	This outrage?
mdp.39015038705995	Throwing himself into an arm- chair, this Trokoff asked: FANTOMAS 303"Well now?
mdp.39015038705995	Thus Fandor had asked himself whether the Second Bureau had been warned of the part he had played with regard to Vinson?
mdp.39015038705995	To- morrow we shall possess the design of it, thanks to Vinson — can we possibly expect any- thing more complete than that?"
mdp.39015038705995	Twice he cried, in an irritated voice:"What is the matter with you?
mdp.39015038705995	Vagualame?"
mdp.39015038705995	Was he dreaming?
mdp.39015038705995	Was he in some hell nightmare?
mdp.39015038705995	Was he mad?
mdp.39015038705995	Was he not being watched and shadowed in the hope of running the treacherous corporal to earth?
mdp.39015038705995	Was he the dupe of a comedy?
mdp.39015038705995	Was it a cry, a growl, a snarl?
mdp.39015038705995	Was it a murder, or a political assassination?
mdp.39015038705995	Was it not he himself who had cried it?
mdp.39015038705995	Was it not true?"
mdp.39015038705995	Was it some illusion of sense and brain?
mdp.39015038705995	Was not his accordion there to show that he possessed a regular means of livelihood?
mdp.39015038705995	Was not their betrothal to have been announced at the ball?
mdp.39015038705995	Was she still in the land of the living?
mdp.39015038705995	Was she without that delicate sensitiveness 210 A NEST OF SPIES which is the birthright of all nice women?
mdp.39015038705995	Was the subject of these talks National Defence?
mdp.39015038705995	Was this fair- haired girl really the baron's daugh- ter?
mdp.39015038705995	We have excellent reports of you — you are married, are you not?"
mdp.39015038705995	Well now, how is my little pet of a girl?"
mdp.39015038705995	Well?"
mdp.39015038705995	Well?"
mdp.39015038705995	Were her knees going to give way?
mdp.39015038705995	Were there not goatskin wraps inside?"
mdp.39015038705995	What am I wanted for?"
mdp.39015038705995	What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015038705995	What are you waiting for?"
mdp.39015038705995	What business has this cure or his soldier to move my car?
mdp.39015038705995	What could she do?
mdp.39015038705995	What could this mean?
mdp.39015038705995	What criminal would have carried out such a murder successfully?
mdp.39015038705995	What dark personality was hid behind that familiar figure?
mdp.39015038705995	What definite reason had he?
mdp.39015038705995	What did it mean?
mdp.39015038705995	What do they prove, after all?"
mdp.39015038705995	What do you imagine that means?"
mdp.39015038705995	What do you mean to do?"
mdp.39015038705995	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015038705995	What do you see surprising in that?"
mdp.39015038705995	What does that mean exactly?"
mdp.39015038705995	What exactly is a divisional?"
mdp.39015038705995	What garden?
mdp.39015038705995	What good purpose will it serve if we allow ourselves to be over- fatigued and so fit for nothing?
mdp.39015038705995	What had possessed the fugitives to steal the car and 200 A NEST OF SPIES then cast it away in the open fields, so near the scene of their theft?
mdp.39015038705995	What has gone wrong with your car now?"
mdp.39015038705995	What has happened, then?"
mdp.39015038705995	What have I done?
mdp.39015038705995	What have you to say in your defence?"
mdp.39015038705995	What is it you want?"

mdp.39015063552239	How did you get on to me, Baynes?
mdp.39015063552239	How old were you then, Bobby?
mdp.39015063552239	How?
mdp.39015063552239	Human fingerprints duplicated, sir? mdp.39015063552239 I know exactly how you feel — yet what would you?"
mdp.39015063552239	I suppose this Brownworth person made his money out of the war?
mdp.39015063552239	I suppose you do n't know where I can lay my hands on your — er — namesake, late of the Navy?
mdp.39015063552239	Inspector Higgins?
mdp.39015063552239	Inspector Higgins?

mdp.39015063552239	It's automatic, is n't it? mdp.39015063552239 It's likely, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552239	Know him?

mdp.39015063552239	No?
mdp.39015063552239	Not exactly an unqualified success, eh, Higgins?
mdp.39015063552239	Not suicide, eh? mdp.39015063552239 Of the consequences?"
mdp.39015063552239	Oh, it's Inspector Higgins, is it not?
mdp.39015063552239	On what evidence, sir? mdp.39015063552239 Oo're you?"

mdp.39015063552239	Pearson — dead? mdp.39015063552239 Pearson?
mdp.39015063552239	Perhaps that is what our strange visitor is looking for?
mdp.39015063552239	Perhaps youth jeopardised your judgment?
mdp.39015063552239	Police?
mdp.39015063552239	Ready?
mdp.39015063552239	Recognise him?
mdp.39015063552239	Reserve my defence, so to speak? mdp.39015063552239 Sentence?"
mdp.39015063552239	Sergeant Brownall, sir? mdp.39015063552239 Sergeant, Super?"

mdp.39015063552239	So Bobby's gone, eh, and you're all alone?
mdp.39015063552239	So the Bull's name is Boggs, eh? mdp.39015063552239 So what exactly do you have to do?"
mdp.39015063552239	So you do n't think Pearson could have done it, eh?
mdp.39015063552239	So you're awake, eh?
mdp.39015063552239	So you're that inspector, are you?
mdp.39015063552239	So you're the constable who made the discovery?
mdp.39015063552239	So — er — what about it?
mdp.39015063552239	Squeaked?
mdp.39015063552239	Strange, is n't it?

mdp.39015063552239	That chap who was drowned? mdp.39015063552239 That you, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063552239	The Bull about?
mdp.39015063552239	The Bull, sir? mdp.39015063552239 The Bull?"
mdp.39015063552239	The City?
mdp.39015063552239	The doctor has the dagger, I suppose?
mdp.39015063552239	The point is — why?
mdp.39015063552239	Then why is it that you know nothing about it?
mdp.39015063552239	Then — then it was not suicide?
mdp.39015063552239	There this morning?
mdp.39015063552239	This Inspector Higgins, darling — you like him?
mdp.39015063552239	To open the door, you mean?
mdp.39015063552239	To- night, sir?
mdp.39015063552239	Trial?

mdp.39015063552239	W- what are you doing here?
mdp.39015063552239	Well, I warned you, did n't I?
mdp.39015063552239	Well, sir, I'ad a peep at the dancing like, an'"When, man, when?
mdp.39015063552239	Well, what is it?

mdp.39015063552239	Well?
mdp.39015063552239	Well?
mdp.39015063552239	What about those fingerprints on the revolver? mdp.39015063552239 What about you?
mdp.39015063552239	What business?
mdp.39015063552239	What did you do in the Great War, Daddy?
mdp.39015063552239	What do you know of Rosenvaler?
mdp.39015063552239	What do you mean by anything? mdp.39015063552239 What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063552239	What do you propose to do — beg or steal?
mdp.39015063552239	What do you think, Kid?
mdp.39015063552239	What does it matter? mdp.39015063552239 What fortune?"
mdp.39015063552239	What happened?
mdp.39015063552239	What have you done to the Bull?
mdp.39015063552239	What is it, Higgy?
mdp.39015063552239	What is it, Jones?
mdp.39015063552239	What is it?
mdp.39015063552239	What is it?
mdp.39015063552239	What is the quotation? mdp.39015063552239 What is?"
mdp.39015063552239	What made you take any notice of them in the first place, Chief? mdp.39015063552239 What man ever'as enough?"
mdp.39015063552239	What on earth are you driving at?
mdp.39015063552239	What the blazes is the matter?
mdp.39015063552239	What was he like?
mdp.39015063552239	What — er — what exactly is your freedom worth?
mdp.39015063552239	What — me?
mdp.39015063552239	What — was — that?
mdp.39015063552239	What — what — was it — then? mdp.39015063552239 What's he been up to?
mdp.39015063552239	What's it worth?
mdp.39015063552239	What's up, Bobby?
mdp.39015063552239	What's your name?
mdp.39015063552239	What? mdp.39015063552239 What?
mdp.39015063552239	What?
mdp.39015063552239	When did you leave your lift?
mdp.39015063552239	Where are you, constable?
mdp.39015063552239	Where did you go to?
mdp.39015063552239	Where does he live?
mdp.39015063552239	Where is she?
mdp.39015063552239	Where?
mdp.39015063552239	Where?
mdp.39015063552239	Where?
mdp.39015063552239	Who are you, anyway? mdp.39015063552239 Who do you mean?"
mdp.39015063552239	Who is it?
mdp.39015063552239	Who is it?
mdp.39015063552239	Who was it?
mdp.39015063552239	Who — who are you? mdp.39015063552239 Who — who did it?"
mdp.39015063552239	Who's in charge? mdp.39015063552239 Who's in there?"
mdp.39015063552239	Who's that squirt?
mdp.39015063552239	Why did n't you smash him when you had the chance?
mdp.39015063552239	Why did you leave your post?
mdp.39015063552239	Why do n't you kill the swine and done with it?
mdp.39015063552239	Why do n't you?
mdp.39015063552239	Why on earth did n't the Bull bolt while he had the chance?
mdp.39015063552239	Why should I? mdp.39015063552239 Why, sir, I — er — thought — er — what exactly do you mean, sir?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why? mdp.39015063552239 Why?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why?
mdp.39015063552239	Why?
mdp.39015063552239	Winged one of'em, Higgy?
mdp.39015063552239	Wonder who the Cumberleighs were?
mdp.39015063552239	Word of honour?
mdp.39015063552239	Wot d'y'want wiv'er, Bobby?
mdp.39015063552239	Wot you want, suh?
mdp.39015063552239	Writing?
mdp.39015063552239	Yellowish- purple?
mdp.39015063552239	You called, sir?
mdp.39015063552239	You do n't miss much, do you, Higgins?
mdp.39015063552239	You do? mdp.39015063552239 You have, eh?"
mdp.39015063552239	You know him then?
mdp.39015063552239	You know me, then?
mdp.39015063552239	You know? mdp.39015063552239 You mean you wo n't?"
mdp.39015063552239	You rang, my lady?
mdp.39015063552239	You rang, sir?
mdp.39015063552239	You — you did n't kill Mr. Brownworth, did you, Bobby?
mdp.39015063552239	You're in Scotland Yard now, and"Plenty of friends about, eh?
mdp.39015063552239	You've what?
mdp.39015063552239	You, too, eh?
mdp.39015063552239	( What's two hun- dred and fifty thousand pounds anyway?)
mdp.39015063552239	.?"
mdp.39015063552239	90 HIGGINS HEARS OF THE BULL 9*"Oh?"
mdp.39015063552239	:; ins indicated the great v what was coming?
mdp.39015063552239	?"
mdp.39015063552239	A cousin perhaps?
mdp.39015063552239	A detective?"
mdp.39015063552239	A new friend?"
mdp.39015063552239	A pal was what Baynes needed most at this moment, for without any aid how could he hope to tie up the inspector without in- capacitating him first?
mdp.39015063552239	A pause, then:"Well?"
mdp.39015063552239	A quarrel between the various members of the gang?
mdp.39015063552239	A temptation, and — blow it!—he had a more or less reasonable excuse, had n't he?
mdp.39015063552239	A thousand pounds?"
mdp.39015063552239	A will?
mdp.39015063552239	AND ACTS 297"Up late, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063552239	And come to that — why lay out the cops at all?
mdp.39015063552239	And had Rosenvaler taken it with him to turn into cash?
mdp.39015063552239	And had he bolted with the proceeds, not daring to return until the news of Brownworth's death had reached him?
mdp.39015063552239	And how had the guard been enticed from the gates?
mdp.39015063552239	And how?
mdp.39015063552239	And if so — what?
mdp.39015063552239	And if so, why?
mdp.39015063552239	And is n't there an old adage anent — talking of hanging — er — sheep and — or lambs?"
mdp.39015063552239	And it was as a policeman that the inspector almost blurted out"Why?"
mdp.39015063552239	And now you are back, what do you propose to do?"
mdp.39015063552239	And supposing he went up to Bobby, what the deuce could he say with that girl looking on?
mdp.39015063552239	And the bizarre kidnapping of half the constabulary?
mdp.39015063552239	And the bull in the china shop business?
mdp.39015063552239	And the maids wear jewellery, eh?
mdp.39015063552239	And the newspapers( subsidised by the Columnar Ho- tel?)
mdp.39015063552239	And the ostensible search or the deliberate damage in the library where the body was found; who did that?
mdp.39015063552239	And the servants heard nothing?"
mdp.39015063552239	And the silencer?"
mdp.39015063552239	And the whisper which reaches me that some evilly disposed person made a parcel of four constables and a sergeant?"
mdp.39015063552239	And was the dagger retrieved at the same time?
mdp.39015063552239	And what can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063552239	And what of Inspector Higgins?"
mdp.39015063552239	And what of the windows on the left?
mdp.39015063552239	And what peccadillo of Pearson's had he almost un- earthed?
mdp.39015063552239	And what was a man of Rosenvaler's stamp doing to be acquainted with this Bull?
mdp.39015063552239	And when did she rejoin your service?"
mdp.39015063552239	And where did the little girl come in?
mdp.39015063552239	And where the deuce had he got to?
mdp.39015063552239	And where the deuce was her escort, and what on earth did he think he was up to leaving such a decent- looking kid unattended?
mdp.39015063552239	And where was he hiding him- self?
mdp.39015063552239	And whom had she expected to find?
mdp.39015063552239	And why feign deafness?
mdp.39015063552239	And why waste time chucking books about when it might be better used in legging it for parts unknown?
mdp.39015063552239	And why, at this juncture, think of Inspector Higgins?
mdp.39015063552239	And why?
mdp.39015063552239	And why?
mdp.39015063552239	Anything familiar about him?"
mdp.39015063552239	Are n't they genuine?"
mdp.39015063552239	BAYNES IS SOMEWHAT ANNOYED 277"Feeling better now, sir?"
mdp.39015063552239	BAYNES TAKES MATTERS IN HAND 29"But if it is so obvious to you — what about the police?"
mdp.39015063552239	Bit late for a social call, what?"
mdp.39015063552239	Blackmail?"
mdp.39015063552239	Bobby Baynes continued banteringly:"And what, you ask, quite rightly, being well up in the dramatic melodrama — if you refuse?
mdp.39015063552239	Bobby Baynes?
mdp.39015063552239	Brownworth?"
mdp.39015063552239	But what about that other business?"
mdp.39015063552239	But what?
mdp.39015063552239	But, of course you are I wonder whether you would be good enough to tele- phone to the police station and ask them to send me a messenger here?
mdp.39015063552239	By whom?
mdp.39015063552239	Can that be squared?"
mdp.39015063552239	Care to join us?"
mdp.39015063552239	Care to stay with me in my flat?
mdp.39015063552239	Concentrating?"
mdp.39015063552239	D'y'think I'm play- acting?"
mdp.39015063552239	Dead?
mdp.39015063552239	Demobbed?"
mdp.39015063552239	Did Inspector Higgins come within this category?
mdp.39015063552239	Did Rosenvaler convert his money into portable property that way?
mdp.39015063552239	Did it indi- cate a search, or was the confusion an attempt to conceal?
mdp.39015063552239	Do n't you realise that it's just what the police need to complete their case?
mdp.39015063552239	Do you know what happened at the Manor the other night?"
mdp.39015063552239	Do you mean murder?"
mdp.39015063552239	Do you mean to say it was Higgins made that row?
mdp.39015063552239	Does n't help much, does it?"
mdp.39015063552239	Else what were they all doing so close together?
mdp.39015063552239	Fine looking place, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552239	Freeman had foil ♦ •-actions, and Pearson mast have s~ who bad found I- that constable wno na"him „ whilst the going-**fXZ would he go?
mdp.39015063552239	Gathering local colour?"
mdp.39015063552239	Had Hannah known where the proceeds of that robbery were buried?
mdp.39015063552239	Had not the time come when such reasons should be overruled?
mdp.39015063552239	Half an hour?
mdp.39015063552239	Has n't he any marked physical trait — one leg or something?"
mdp.39015063552239	Have much trouble out- side?"
mdp.39015063552239	Have you found out what it is?"
mdp.39015063552239	Have you got the money?"
mdp.39015063552239	He did it all right I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552239	He most certainly would be on guard, but — from what had he to guard her?
mdp.39015063552239	He was in a hole — and knew it; besides what was half an hour?
mdp.39015063552239	He was to deslm?
mdp.39015063552239	How about Robert Baynes?
mdp.39015063552239	How could he break it to Muriel?
mdp.39015063552239	How could you?"
mdp.39015063552239	How had Pearson been employed meanwhile?
mdp.39015063552239	How?
mdp.39015063552239	How?
mdp.39015063552239	Huge house like this — where are they?"
mdp.39015063552239	I can only tell you that someone was here a couple of hours ago, and""What was he like?"
mdp.39015063552239	I only hope for your sake that you're speaking the truth — which'll be a change, wo n't it?"
mdp.39015063552239	I want fifty per cent, of the proceeds, see?"
mdp.39015063552239	I — I thought — what are you do- ing here?"
mdp.39015063552239	I'm rather subtle, are n't I?"
mdp.39015063552239	If Bobby Baynes could not prove his tale, then Bobby was in for a very bad time — and what would Muriel think of him then?
mdp.39015063552239	Is it all right?"
mdp.39015063552239	Is n't that enough?"
mdp.39015063552239	It is funny, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552239	It is my'ouse: anysing I find belongs to me — don't it?"
mdp.39015063552239	It was me, was n't it?
mdp.39015063552239	It was unfortunate, but in my character of a reporter I whispered in his ear:"Anything doing?"
mdp.39015063552239	It would only be useful if locked inside — and he could n't have been — could he?"
mdp.39015063552239	It's Inspector Higgins, is it not?"
mdp.39015063552239	Let's see, now; one could n't get very far in half an hour, could one?
mdp.39015063552239	Literally?
mdp.39015063552239	My expression must have changed, for she added quickly:"I hope that was all right, sir?"
mdp.39015063552239	NOT AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS 125"Why not to the manager?"
mdp.39015063552239	Now what was coming?
mdp.39015063552239	Now why had the man taken the trouble to expound an alibi?
mdp.39015063552239	Oh, I know it's late and all that?
mdp.39015063552239	Oh, is that you, Muriel? — er — Hig- gins speaking — er — can I come and see you now?
mdp.39015063552239	Oh, is that you, Muriel? — er — Hig- gins speaking — er — can I come and see you now?
mdp.39015063552239	Or perhaps it was one of the waiters?"
mdp.39015063552239	Or was it half a million?
mdp.39015063552239	Partner?
mdp.39015063552239	Perhaps it was Bobby to whom she was half- engaged and not to Brown- worth?
mdp.39015063552239	Police?
mdp.39015063552239	Pushing off?
mdp.39015063552239	Rosenvaler, the time of the robbery, had thought of the Bull — why?
mdp.39015063552239	Scott?"
mdp.39015063552239	See anything of him?"
mdp.39015063552239	See?"
mdp.39015063552239	Shall I use my real name, my nom de plume, or a pseudonym?
mdp.39015063552239	She is an old nurse, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552239	She must have heard him, else why try to peer through the keyhole?
mdp.39015063552239	Should he carry out his original intention of visiting the Manor through this passage, or should he wait to ascertain the identity of this other?
mdp.39015063552239	Should there not be an overpowering smell of burned powder?
mdp.39015063552239	Since when, he wondered, had an inspector the right to countermand a chief in- spector's orders?
mdp.39015063552239	Sir, If you think I had anything to do with the murder of that skunk Brownworth, why not come into the open and say so?
mdp.39015063552239	Slick Sims?
mdp.39015063552239	So soon after the War, with commercial aviation in its in- fancy?
mdp.39015063552239	So the Manor here is a stalking- horse?"
mdp.39015063552239	So you're back — safe and sound?"
mdp.39015063552239	Sorry!—why not tell the local police — their super is a very nice chap?"
mdp.39015063552239	Stolen?
mdp.39015063552239	Suicide?"
mdp.39015063552239	Surely I'm entitled to all of Bobby Baynes'share?
mdp.39015063552239	Surely after his escape, he should have welcomed the police?
mdp.39015063552239	Surely not for use as a weapon?
mdp.39015063552239	THE INSPECTOR ENJOYS HIMSELF in"But you'd support me, surely?"
mdp.39015063552239	That rascally proprietor?
mdp.39015063552239	The butler who vanished afterwards?"
mdp.39015063552239	The superintendent pondered this for a while, then:"An unofficial visit?"
mdp.39015063552239	Then what about the menservants?"
mdp.39015063552239	Then who had been murdered the night of Robert Beau- meere's return?
mdp.39015063552239	Then who the hell was Robert Beaumeere?
mdp.39015063552239	Then you would n't like a trip to Hatfield?"
mdp.39015063552239	Then:"And how did this — er — Beefy Bull person get on to me?"
mdp.39015063552239	Then:"What d'y'think of Brown- all?"
mdp.39015063552239	Then:"Who have you taken up within the last half- hour?"
mdp.39015063552239	Then:"Why are you telling me all this?"
mdp.39015063552239	Traced them?"
mdp.39015063552239	Two people with the same fingerprints?
mdp.39015063552239	Until the victims complained he could do nothing, and what victim is likely to complain that he has been caught for a sucker?
mdp.39015063552239	Was he safe in assuming there was no one at home?
mdp.39015063552239	Was it merely making conversation or was there something ulterior in the statement?
mdp.39015063552239	Was it not likely that Rosenvaler himself had done the deed?
mdp.39015063552239	Was it worth while looking up a rating who had served with Beaumeere and getting him to pass on Bobby's iden- tity?
mdp.39015063552239	Was n't he in an almost similar position?
mdp.39015063552239	Was n't that the place where that Johnson fellow used to eat?"
mdp.39015063552239	Was she a crook, too?
mdp.39015063552239	Was that for- tune in precious stones?
mdp.39015063552239	Was the passage used for clandestine meetings?
mdp.39015063552239	Was there the merest sug- gestion of — well — reproach, in the other's tone?
mdp.39015063552239	Was this what he had meant when he said he would go to great lengths to avoid giving evidence against the Bull?
mdp.39015063552239	We are — are we?"
mdp.39015063552239	Well?
mdp.39015063552239	Whadyer want?"
mdp.39015063552239	What about next week?
mdp.39015063552239	What about the big railway termini?
mdp.39015063552239	What about the man at the window?
mdp.39015063552239	What are you doing'ere, eh?
mdp.39015063552239	What d'y'know about that?"
mdp.39015063552239	What d'you suggest?"
mdp.39015063552239	What did it matter anyway?
mdp.39015063552239	What do you think you're up to?"
mdp.39015063552239	What do you want him for?"
mdp.39015063552239	What does Muriel say?"
mdp.39015063552239	What does he do?
mdp.39015063552239	What else had Hannah heard?
mdp.39015063552239	What exactly do you want?"
mdp.39015063552239	What guarantee had he that this was not a subtle trap on the inspector's part, merely to secure a damaging admission?
mdp.39015063552239	What had her father's death to do with the Brownworth case — or with the missing Bobby Baynes?
mdp.39015063552239	What have we got?"
mdp.39015063552239	What if they are?
mdp.39015063552239	What is it you see and hear?"
mdp.39015063552239	What made you get drunk?"
mdp.39015063552239	What of him?"
mdp.39015063552239	What on earth made her pop off like that?"
mdp.39015063552239	What on earth made you think that?"
mdp.39015063552239	What on earth would this little girl think of him?
mdp.39015063552239	What really had happened that night at the Hall?
mdp.39015063552239	What the blazes had happened now?
mdp.39015063552239	What the blazes is he try- ing to do?"
mdp.39015063552239	What time did you retire last night?"
mdp.39015063552239	What train left Paddington about now?
mdp.39015063552239	What was Bobby Baynes doing here?
mdp.39015063552239	What was Pearson's"line"?
mdp.39015063552239	What was he like?"
mdp.39015063552239	What was his story?
mdp.39015063552239	What was the connection between Bobby Baynes and Lady Muriel Beaumeere?
mdp.39015063552239	What with this confounded'flu and one thing and another""Shorthanded, eh?"
mdp.39015063552239	What would be his reaction?
mdp.39015063552239	What would she think of him?
mdp.39015063552239	What'd'you mean?
mdp.39015063552239	What's her real name?"
mdp.39015063552239	What's his line?"
mdp.39015063552239	What's she been up to now?"
mdp.39015063552239	What's she like?"
mdp.39015063552239	What's the matter with you?
mdp.39015063552239	Whatever for?"
mdp.39015063552239	Whatever would the Lady Muriel think of him?
mdp.39015063552239	When's yer pals comin'?"
mdp.39015063552239	Where can I find you?"
mdp.39015063552239	Where did you see Baynes?"
mdp.39015063552239	Where's your sense?
mdp.39015063552239	Who could have done this thing?
mdp.39015063552239	Who does n't?"
mdp.39015063552239	Who remained of that infamous gang, save Rosenvaler?
mdp.39015063552239	Who the deuce used the front door?
mdp.39015063552239	Who then?
mdp.39015063552239	Who told you?"
mdp.39015063552239	Who was the other?
mdp.39015063552239	Who's in charge?
mdp.39015063552239	Who?"
mdp.39015063552239	Whoever would'a'thought it?
mdp.39015063552239	Whole- heartedly?
mdp.39015063552239	Whom then was she expecting?
mdp.39015063552239	Whose are they, sir?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why did he live amidst such squalor when it was generally understood that he was worth a million?
mdp.39015063552239	Why did n't she leave off?
mdp.39015063552239	Why get me to return them?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why had he ever been bom?
mdp.39015063552239	Why had he remained so unobtrusively in the background when all those inquiries had been made five years before?
mdp.39015063552239	Why have n't the Press been told?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why suppress it?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why the blazes do n't you ask her to marry you?
mdp.39015063552239	Why then had he done it?
mdp.39015063552239	Why this atmosphere of antagonism — suspicion?
mdp.39015063552239	Why this sudden interest in criminals?
mdp.39015063552239	Why?
mdp.39015063552239	Why?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why?"
mdp.39015063552239	Why?"
mdp.39015063552239	Wo n't injure the firm, will it?
mdp.39015063552239	Wo n't you come in?"
mdp.39015063552239	Wonder who it is?
mdp.39015063552239	Wonder who she is?
mdp.39015063552239	Wot abaht"i m?"
mdp.39015063552239	Would Bobby Baynes wait were their positions re- versed?
mdp.39015063552239	Would he still deny that anything had been taken?
mdp.39015063552239	Yes?"
mdp.39015063552239	Yet had n't that been his original intention?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet how far, if at all, was the informer removed from the blackmailer?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet how had I given myself away?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet if it had, why had not the police rec- ognised it?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet what hopes had he of action with no Bobby?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet where did Bobby Baynes come in?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet where on earth was he hiding?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet why ask him to come?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet why had the man Baynes taken Beaumeere's nom de guerre — using the phrase both literally and collo- quially?'
mdp.39015063552239	Yet why should Jimmy Pearson get the other half when he had nothing to do with it?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet why should she be in danger?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet would they return?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet — yet — was not there something incongruous about the thing?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet, what had been taken?
mdp.39015063552239	Yet, why worry about the man on duty at the gates?
mdp.39015063552239	You did n't hap- pen to kill him yourself?"
mdp.39015063552239	You had a visitor then?"
mdp.39015063552239	You have n't sent for the police van, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552239	You see the idea?
mdp.39015063552239	You'll take charge?"
mdp.39015063552239	and why?
mdp.39015063552239	been traced, but whose fingerprints were at the Yard, and who was so handy with a knife?
mdp.39015063552239	ho then had sent the fingerprints?
mdp.39015063552239	track for long, yet-- Was Sd where was Baynes?
mdp.39015063552239	w?
mdp.39015063552239	what was the good?
mdp.39015063552239	who more likely than the Lady Muriel Beaumeere?
mdp.39015063942810	After a heavy drug?
mdp.39015063942810	Ah, monsieur met her, then, later? mdp.39015063942810 All your rooms are the same price, I believe?"
mdp.39015063942810	All?
mdp.39015063942810	And Mr. Beale? mdp.39015063942810 And now about the voice over the'phone — it was n't Eames himself, you think?"
mdp.39015063942810	And now about those'phones on Saturday at five o'clock?
mdp.39015063942810	And now you, sir, where were you this afternoon?
mdp.39015063942810	And now, this afternoon — let me see, where did you say you were?
mdp.39015063942810	And shall I still keep an eye on him?
mdp.39015063942810	And that is the door leading into the street, eh?
mdp.39015063942810	And the green and white striped paper? mdp.39015063942810 And the key?"
mdp.39015063942810	And then?
mdp.39015063942810	And what about passers- by?
mdp.39015063942810	And what about that clerk?
mdp.39015063942810	And what about the American, the one you have your eye on because you think he threw his wash- water out of the window? mdp.39015063942810 And what the devil has this Mr. Sikes to do with the affair which you are presumably investigating, In- spector?"
mdp.39015063942810	And you can think of nothing, absolutely nothing, which will give us any clue as to an enmity for one or both of these two men?
mdp.39015063942810	And you were in the room till six?
mdp.39015063942810	And — did you hear from either of them again?
mdp.39015063942810	Any explanation you wish to offer, Carter? mdp.39015063942810 Any finger prints?"
mdp.39015063942810	Any finger- prints? mdp.39015063942810 Any letter for Mr. Eames?
mdp.39015063942810	Any murders to his name?
mdp.39015063942810	Any sound from in there?
mdp.39015063942810	Anything wrong at the Office?
mdp.39015063942810	Anything wrong? mdp.39015063942810 Are you sure of the time?"
mdp.39015063942810	As though the lock were stuck, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	At what hour did he leave?
mdp.39015063942810	Aye, what about him? mdp.39015063942810 Beale?"
mdp.39015063942810	Been getting any deeper into your black books?
mdp.39015063942810	Before I leave, could you tell me how much his uncle left him?
mdp.39015063942810	Before July 30th — before that room was'phoned for — did this man ask for a room here?
mdp.39015063942810	But I understand that he, too, heard the'phone?
mdp.39015063942810	But how in tarnation did you get hold of — of — the truth?
mdp.39015063942810	But what about the Inspector?
mdp.39015063942810	But why are n't they in here? mdp.39015063942810 But — how did you know that/ should be there?"
mdp.39015063942810	But,objected O'Connor,"why the marks of tugging on Erskine's collar which the photo shows?"
mdp.39015063942810	By the way, before I forget it, from which direction did the manager come when he spoke to you after Eames''phone had been taken? mdp.39015063942810 Can I see the covering letter to his will?"
mdp.39015063942810	Carter? mdp.39015063942810 Chief Inspector Pointer?"
mdp.39015063942810	Come here, Miller,he called softly,"could you scramble out of that window?"
mdp.39015063942810	Could he have flung the glass over the balcony rail- ing?
mdp.39015063942810	Could it be a watch you lent a customer in place of one left to be mended? mdp.39015063942810 Could you call to mind any people you sold one like it to?
mdp.39015063942810	Could you describe him?
mdp.39015063942810	Could you have seen anyone there?
mdp.39015063942810	Could you repeat his exact words?
mdp.39015063942810	D'ye think some of your light- fingered friends have welcomed their brethren from across the ocean and the lot have fallen out?
mdp.39015063942810	Daru? mdp.39015063942810 Did Mr. Eames give any reason as to why he was determined to have one of the first floor rooms look- ing into the street?"
mdp.39015063942810	Did any letters come for him?
mdp.39015063942810	Did he ever refer to a John Carter in them?
mdp.39015063942810	Did he give you no message for me?
mdp.39015063942810	Did he go out often?
mdp.39015063942810	Did the'phone message you got later sound at all like his voice?
mdp.39015063942810	Did you and Mr. Beale sit up long together last night?
mdp.39015063942810	Did you do anything to it, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	Did you get any idea of who held the torch?
mdp.39015063942810	Did you know that he was coming?
mdp.39015063942810	Did you see in what direction he went?
mdp.39015063942810	Disguised voice making you think of the manager? mdp.39015063942810 Do you identify this, sir?"
mdp.39015063942810	Do you know anything about her household?
mdp.39015063942810	Do you think Mrs. Erskine could come over for the adjourned inquest? mdp.39015063942810 Do you think there's any chance of the affair turn- ing out to be political, sir?"
mdp.39015063942810	Do you think you could pick up anything there?
mdp.39015063942810	Do you want an extradition order?
mdp.39015063942810	Do you want my confession as to how I killed Eames?
mdp.39015063942810	Eames? mdp.39015063942810 Eames?
mdp.39015063942810	Eh, man, why not?
mdp.39015063942810	Eh? mdp.39015063942810 Eh?"
mdp.39015063942810	From whom, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	Had Eames any friends?
mdp.39015063942810	Had he looked worried when she saw him?
mdp.39015063942810	Had he tried the Marvel?
mdp.39015063942810	Had you been in there after you left it at six?
mdp.39015063942810	Has he ever stayed in the hotel before?
mdp.39015063942810	Have you any idea, sir, as to when he left this room?
mdp.39015063942810	Have you the letters?
mdp.39015063942810	He was a good son and loved me, but it's not easy for a lad to put his love into words, is it?
mdp.39015063942810	Hein?
mdp.39015063942810	How did he look? mdp.39015063942810 How much petrol has been taken, Pierre?"
mdp.39015063942810	How so trying?
mdp.39015063942810	How would you say that, generally speaking, he spent his time in the hotel?
mdp.39015063942810	How's the manager developing?
mdp.39015063942810	I have got something I should like to say about Rob's case, but could I talk it over with you in your boudoir? mdp.39015063942810 I suppose your warrant justifies that?"
mdp.39015063942810	I thought I saw a piece of striped paper lying around— he glanced about him—"did it belong to anything of yours?"
mdp.39015063942810	I wonder if I really do?
mdp.39015063942810	I wonder if the whole investigation is on the wrong line — whether the points have been missed somewhere, but where?
mdp.39015063942810	I? mdp.39015063942810 If it was Beale who searched those drawers why that jumbled haste?
mdp.39015063942810	Is n't there a balcony running all along your front rooms on the first floor, and also along the rooms of the Marvel Hotel next door?
mdp.39015063942810	It looks very bad for the partner Cox, or Carter, does n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	It's a pretty average frowst in here; can the window be opened?
mdp.39015063942810	It's going to be a long job, eh, monsieur?
mdp.39015063942810	Look here, you do n't suspect him of being the actual murderer, do you?
mdp.39015063942810	Mademoiselle, do you understand the position?
mdp.39015063942810	May I ask how they came into your possession, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	May I ask, sir, why you did n't write and let us know where you were? mdp.39015063942810 May I smoke?"
mdp.39015063942810	Mr. Beale spoke of having just come from France, did n't he, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	Mr. Beale, may I ask you for the fullest possible de- tails of the man you call Green?
mdp.39015063942810	Nor your car?
mdp.39015063942810	Nothing odd noticed?
mdp.39015063942810	Now about Mr. Beale's arrival?
mdp.39015063942810	Now about this Henry Carter, who is he?
mdp.39015063942810	Now, who do I see about the service- stairs — who is supposed to keep an eye on them?
mdp.39015063942810	Oh, Mr. Pointer, what have you found out? mdp.39015063942810 Or any of Mrs. Erskine's letters to him?"
mdp.39015063942810	Partner in what? mdp.39015063942810 Room empty?"
mdp.39015063942810	Said to whom?
mdp.39015063942810	Satisfied now? mdp.39015063942810 So Miss Leslie was here in the house at the time my client's car was run into — about half- past four?"
mdp.39015063942810	So you did n't get anything helpful by coming to Paris?
mdp.39015063942810	Sure?
mdp.39015063942810	That box? mdp.39015063942810 That door leads to the maids'sitting- room and to the service- stairs, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063942810	The manager was talking to you when the message came, I understand?
mdp.39015063942810	The manager? mdp.39015063942810 The men understand their job, do they?
mdp.39015063942810	The'Devil's Sock,'as our smugglers call it? mdp.39015063942810 Then why does n't he speak out, Miss West?"
mdp.39015063942810	Then you do n't know the gentleman I mean even by sight?
mdp.39015063942810	Think so? mdp.39015063942810 Though I certainly was n't much of a help to you?"
mdp.39015063942810	Two semicircles crossed? mdp.39015063942810 Under arrest, am I?"
mdp.39015063942810	Want to examine the trunk?
mdp.39015063942810	Was he? mdp.39015063942810 Was it anything of yours, sir?"

mdp.39015063942810	Well?
mdp.39015063942810	Well?
mdp.39015063942810	Were the rooms you offered him instead as good?
mdp.39015063942810	Were the sheets typed or written?

mdp.39015063942810	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063942810	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063942810	What does this mean? mdp.39015063942810 What others, for instance?"
mdp.39015063942810	What time did you go into her room on Saturday evening, did you say?

mdp.39015063942810	Yes? mdp.39015063942810 You do n't agree with me?"

mdp.39015063942810	You had never seen Eames before?
mdp.39015063942810	You have no explanation to offer, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	You have no other letters from him, then?
mdp.39015063942810	You have the only key to the safe, I understand?
mdp.39015063942810	You have the will with you, too, sir?
mdp.39015063942810	You heard nothing more?
mdp.39015063942810	You know nothing of a man called Beale?
mdp.39015063942810	You mean Beale?
mdp.39015063942810	You mean afterwards, sir?

mdp.39015063942810	You think he was n't?
mdp.39015063942810	You think it was someone from the Enterprise, sir, who wanted to be sure of getting back unnoticed?
mdp.39015063942810	You think it's the manager?

mdp.39015063942810	And does he still refuse to explain?"
mdp.39015063942810	And had you never seen Erskine before?"
mdp.39015063942810	And now I suppose 32 THE EAMES- ERSKINE CASE some downtrodden underling of yours is keeping a skinned orb upon both these desperate criminals?"
mdp.39015063942810	And now, sir, what made you choose the Enterprise Hotel in the first place?"
mdp.39015063942810	And the crest was?"
mdp.39015063942810	And the papers — the papers, where are they?
mdp.39015063942810	And what about the charge for the spring we supplied?"
mdp.39015063942810	And what about the manager, too?"
mdp.39015063942810	And where is his trunk key?
mdp.39015063942810	And yours?"
mdp.39015063942810	Anything else, Chief?"
mdp.39015063942810	Are n't you overstepping your authority?"
mdp.39015063942810	Are they true?
mdp.39015063942810	Are you sure of the honesty of your booking clerks?"
mdp.39015063942810	At what hour does she return?"
mdp.39015063942810	Beale, did you say?
mdp.39015063942810	Beale?"
mdp.39015063942810	Beale?"
mdp.39015063942810	Because you found that wax vesta in his room?"
mdp.39015063942810	Burnt down to the last end and dropped burning into the wardrobe when it scorched someone's fingers — whose, Watts?"
mdp.39015063942810	But his other letters, now?"
mdp.39015063942810	But what might be the effect of calling in the police?
mdp.39015063942810	But why do n't you look at the register?"
mdp.39015063942810	But why the will?
mdp.39015063942810	But why?
mdp.39015063942810	By the way, do you know how much his uncle left him?"

mdp.39015063942810	Carter?"
mdp.39015063942810	Could Mr. Heilbronner be in it for anything?"
mdp.39015063942810	Could that smear be morphia?
mdp.39015063942810	Could the same enmity 144 THE EAMES- ERSKINE CASE link the two?
mdp.39015063942810	Could you identify the body?"

mdp.39015063942810	Deane?"
mdp.39015063942810	Did she know his home address?
mdp.39015063942810	Did this stand for anything in the puzzle?
mdp.39015063942810	Did you have the room freshly done up for him — I mean, fresh towels and so on?"
mdp.39015063942810	Do I make myself quite clear?"
mdp.39015063942810	Do you know anything about heraldry, Inspector?"

mdp.39015063942810	Every's relative nowadays, thanks to old Einstein — what?"
mdp.39015063942810	Excited?
mdp.39015063942810	Five people in all?
mdp.39015063942810	Frightened?"
mdp.39015063942810	Funny about the bag, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063942810	Had Miss West been there during the afternoon?
mdp.39015063942810	Had Mr. Robert Erskine ever spoken of putting an end to his life before?"
mdp.39015063942810	Had it also been wrapped around jewellery?
mdp.39015063942810	Had she ever seen any letters lying around?
mdp.39015063942810	Handcuffs, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942810	Have a drink?"
mdp.39015063942810	Have you a maid who might have been in here Saturday afternoon while you were absent?
mdp.39015063942810	Have you looked her up?
mdp.39015063942810	He held it out to O'Connor, who asked:"What are the manager's feet like?"
mdp.39015063942810	He prided himself on his light footwork, and THE EAMES- ERSKINE CASE 73 By the way, what time did Miss Leslie get back the day before yesterday?
mdp.39015063942810	He was sitting by the window, and I said to him that surely I had seen him earlier in the day — what I mean to say""What did Mr. Beale say?"
mdp.39015063942810	How could he do that after taking the poison and all?"
mdp.39015063942810	How many things were there, do you suppose, that that American and the Manager between them had n't pawed over?
mdp.39015063942810	I can promise you that anything you say to me wo n't get to the housekeeper's ears; but were you ironing all Saturday afternoon?
mdp.39015063942810	I have cautioned you already?"
mdp.39015063942810	I hope you noticed the washstand before the doctor washed his hands?"
mdp.39015063942810	I mean see them yourself?"
mdp.39015063942810	I mean, did you really find all those jewels in his trunk?
mdp.39015063942810	I suppose I can al- ways write to you?"
mdp.39015063942810	I suppose he will sign the papers?"
mdp.39015063942810	I suppose he's free, and all that?"
mdp.39015063942810	I wonder if you could go to France and look up Mrs. Erskine's circle?
mdp.39015063942810	I've absolutely nothing to go on""What about Watts'idea that the crime might be political?"
mdp.39015063942810	If so, what?"
mdp.39015063942810	If so, who?
mdp.39015063942810	It was as well I had that little chat with you this morning, eh?"

mdp.39015063942810	May I see them?"
mdp.39015063942810	Me?
mdp.39015063942810	Might he call and see Mr. Henry Thomp- son?"
mdp.39015063942810	Might they not be off on some other equally wild- goose chase?
mdp.39015063942810	Monsieur Guillaume there, by any chance, still?
mdp.39015063942810	Mr. Beale, may I trouble you to call up my man who's down below; and where would you like me to meet you afterwards?"
mdp.39015063942810	Mr. Beale?
mdp.39015063942810	Mr. Thompson is leaving us?
mdp.39015063942810	My son's letters to me?
mdp.39015063942810	No?
mdp.39015063942810	Now, Mr. Russell, do you happen to know whether Mr. Robert or Mr. Ian Erskine took any interest in politics out in Canada?"
mdp.39015063942810	Now, Mrs. Erskine, who is there who could have done so wicked, so cruel a thing?"
mdp.39015063942810	Now, sir, can you tell me where Miss Leslie really was during those hours?"
mdp.39015063942810	O'Connor?"
mdp.39015063942810	Of course as a rule we should n't dream of letting anyone else occupy a room under such circumstances, but""One moment: who answered the'phone?"
mdp.39015063942810	Oh, here it is"—Pointer 42 THE EAMES- ERSKINE CASE fished it out,"Did you see anything like it in Mr. Beale's hands last night?"
mdp.39015063942810	Or d'you think he knew that Eames was dead, and wanted to meet an accomplice there?
mdp.39015063942810	Or what about your branch establishment in Bond Street?"
mdp.39015063942810	Perhaps he was bluffing when he gave it you?"
mdp.39015063942810	Personal reasons — always the toughest, eh, Chief?"
mdp.39015063942810	Pointer?"
mdp.39015063942810	Pointer?"
mdp.39015063942810	Pretty late, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063942810	Question is shall we ever learn what other things of value he may have had with him?"
mdp.39015063942810	Safe- opening?
mdp.39015063942810	Shall I have tea at your table, or will it wait till afterwards?

mdp.39015063942810	Something new in the safe- breaking line, eh, Green?"
mdp.39015063942810	Strange things for a lady to keep with her jewels, eh?
mdp.39015063942810	Sure he did n't need to fetch the manager till he was ready?
mdp.39015063942810	Sure it was n't an overdose of whisky?
mdp.39015063942810	Sure?"
mdp.39015063942810	Surely there could not have been an accomplice at the other end as well?

mdp.39015063942810	Was Eames'body placed in that locked wardrobe so that the wrong person should n't find it, or so that the right person should?"
mdp.39015063942810	Was Miss West wearing any?
mdp.39015063942810	Was Mr. Carter a friend of hers, too?"
mdp.39015063942810	Was he here yesterday?"
mdp.39015063942810	Was it merely that the Editor had run the criminal to earth, who for so long had evaded justice, and evidently on some occasion tricked him?

mdp.39015063942810	Why hot choose a bench in the park?"
mdp.39015063942810	Why not take Erskine for a run in a motor, stun him, and drop him into a pond?

mdp.39015063942810	Will it free John?

mdp.39015063942810	•"You mean,"she hesitated,"you mean to go and stay with Mrs. Erskine, if she will let me, and be a sort of spy in the house?"
mdp.39015028942830	A cock- tail or two first, I suppose?
mdp.39015028942830	A perfect day, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	A second pick, eh?
mdp.39015028942830	A smell?
mdp.39015028942830	A typical Chicago spring, is n't it? mdp.39015028942830 About your wife?"
mdp.39015028942830	Ah, is not one so bond a prisoner still?
mdp.39015028942830	All evening?
mdp.39015028942830	And Miss Gant was with you all the time?
mdp.39015028942830	And a set of duplicates for every room?
mdp.39015028942830	And everybody on the floor knew about this?
mdp.39015028942830	And he goes out on Monday as usual, I suppose?
mdp.39015028942830	And several times before that, huh?
mdp.39015028942830	And smoked half- a- dozen cigars? mdp.39015028942830 And that's all you heard them say?"
mdp.39015028942830	And the noise was still going on?
mdp.39015028942830	And then you came straight to the hotel?
mdp.39015028942830	And what happened then?
mdp.39015028942830	And you did n't put the acid in the test tube? mdp.39015028942830 And you saw Swink in the bar?"
mdp.39015028942830	And you stayed there with him the rest of the eve- ning?
mdp.39015028942830	And you thought it was the police?
mdp.39015028942830	And you went upstairs right away?
mdp.39015028942830	Anhydrous?
mdp.39015028942830	Another implement to pick locks?
mdp.39015028942830	Any idea of how many people we've got to talk to, Johnny?
mdp.39015028942830	Any idea who hit you, Jerry?
mdp.39015028942830	Any prints?
mdp.39015028942830	Any vacant rooms in this cor- ridor?
mdp.39015028942830	Any- way, you were pretty well wrapped up in the logarithmic what- you- may- call- it, were n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	Anybody in the room on the other side?
mdp.39015028942830	Anybody using either of those keys last night?
mdp.39015028942830	Anyone else?
mdp.39015028942830	Are they pretty careful with'em? mdp.39015028942830 Are you Anna Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	Are you crazy?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you familiar with Trajan?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you going to cooperate or are n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you going to have this analyzed?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you just saying that, or did you actually see them?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you pretty good at remembering things, Cedric?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you sure he's still in his room?
mdp.39015028942830	Are you sure,Westborough inquired,"that the guilty party is someone in this corridor?"
mdp.39015028942830	Are you willing to help us out by giving the straight answers to a few questions?
mdp.39015028942830	At what time?
mdp.39015028942830	Be quiet, ca n't you? mdp.39015028942830 Been in your room all evening?"
mdp.39015028942830	Big he- man, are n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	Bitter almonds?
mdp.39015028942830	Black or white?
mdp.39015028942830	Both of'em picked, huh?
mdp.39015028942830	But I thought we'd settled this morning that it'd been planted in the south corridor?
mdp.39015028942830	But the motive, Sarah? mdp.39015028942830 But why do you make your drawing upon it?
mdp.39015028942830	But will you move, Miss Gant?
mdp.39015028942830	But you did n't commit yourself?
mdp.39015028942830	But you heard nothing before that?
mdp.39015028942830	But you heard the door close behind you?
mdp.39015028942830	Ca n't you give us a better idea of the time than that? mdp.39015028942830 Calculus?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you break off long enough for a few minutes'powwow?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you open'em with skeleton keys?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you prove it?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you prove it?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you prove it?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you prove that?
mdp.39015028942830	Captain O'Ryan, is n't it? mdp.39015028942830 Catalysts?"
mdp.39015028942830	Cedric, did you tell anyone else in the hotel about this bottle of acid?
mdp.39015028942830	Chilton?
mdp.39015028942830	Chilton?
mdp.39015028942830	Chris?
mdp.39015028942830	Christ, how do I know there is n't a bull in one of those rooms?
mdp.39015028942830	Cyanide's also used in photography, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Dear me, am I suspected?
mdp.39015028942830	Devon? mdp.39015028942830 Did Chilton slip you five bucks to tell me he was in the wash- room?"

mdp.39015028942830	Do n't you need something belonging to a per- son to work this monkey business?
mdp.39015028942830	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015028942830	Do these doors have special keys of their own or will one of your ordinary passkeys work on'em?

mdp.39015028942830	Find anything?
mdp.39015028942830	Find that somebody could beat it that way?
mdp.39015028942830	Find'em?

mdp.39015028942830	Four days and not one call? mdp.39015028942830 French name, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Frisk?
mdp.39015028942830	Good Lord, what happened to your head, Spanger?
mdp.39015028942830	Hammond, what made you smoke so many cigars tonight?

mdp.39015028942830	Have you thought of Colmar?
mdp.39015028942830	Having this checked for prints, are n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	He died right away, then?
mdp.39015028942830	He told you to shadow Swink, eh?
mdp.39015028942830	He's sure of that?
mdp.39015028942830	Hell, what's all this junk about Tacitus?
mdp.39015028942830	Hell, what's the difference?
mdp.39015028942830	Here's how he did it — see? mdp.39015028942830 Hiatus?"
mdp.39015028942830	How about it, Terry?
mdp.39015028942830	How about some more of those rolls and another pot of coffee?
mdp.39015028942830	How did Swink's liquor affect him?
mdp.39015028942830	How did you know it was Swink you heard walking down the corridor?
mdp.39015028942830	How did you know this was Devon's?
mdp.39015028942830	How do such things usually start?
mdp.39015028942830	How do you know there was a poultry- goose in Swink's room?
mdp.39015028942830	How do you make hydrogen sulphide?
mdp.39015028942830	How do you make that out?
mdp.39015028942830	How do you make that out?
mdp.39015028942830	How does her dope check with yours, Terry?
mdp.39015028942830	How does this tie into Swink?
mdp.39015028942830	How late did we keep it up?
mdp.39015028942830	How long ago was all this?
mdp.39015028942830	How long ago was this?
mdp.39015028942830	How long ago?
mdp.39015028942830	How long does it take to do a room?
mdp.39015028942830	How long has Chilton been here?
mdp.39015028942830	How long has Swink been in this hotel?
mdp.39015028942830	How long have you been staying here?
mdp.39015028942830	How long were you gone?
mdp.39015028942830	How long'd he have it?
mdp.39015028942830	How long'd that take?
mdp.39015028942830	How long'd they stay in the room?
mdp.39015028942830	How long'd you stay?
mdp.39015028942830	How many calls have you made in that time?
mdp.39015028942830	How many hours do you work per day?
mdp.39015028942830	How many times a day do you leave your key around like that?
mdp.39015028942830	How old is Ann?
mdp.39015028942830	How should I know whether he would or not? mdp.39015028942830 How should I know?
mdp.39015028942830	How should I know? mdp.39015028942830 How the hell should I know?"
mdp.39015028942830	How well do you know Larson?
mdp.39015028942830	How well'd you know Swink, Miss Gant?
mdp.39015028942830	How'd she learn about my house?
mdp.39015028942830	How'd you know Swink had been murdered?
mdp.39015028942830	How'd you know he was shot at five?
mdp.39015028942830	How'd you sleep last night?
mdp.39015028942830	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015028942830	I could act wise about it, but what's the use? mdp.39015028942830 I do n't know nothing about it — see?"
mdp.39015028942830	I do n't know the name of the article, but there is a THE FIFTH TUMBLER 209Trying to yank out my whiskers?"
mdp.39015028942830	I do n't say it ca n't be done, see? mdp.39015028942830 I fear they had both been looking upon the Vine while it is red in the cup'or do people drink nothing but highballs now?
mdp.39015028942830	I gather, though, that we can add both photogra- phers and engravers to the list of places where the cyanide might have come from?
mdp.39015028942830	I got to earn a living, do n't I?
mdp.39015028942830	I know my rights — see? mdp.39015028942830 I know, darling, but you will stay for dinner, wo n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	I mean do you keep account of the needles, pins, buttons, and what not in the guests'rooms?
mdp.39015028942830	I sup- pose someone put potassium cyanide with an acid in this thing?
mdp.39015028942830	I suppose there is no doubt but what Whittington was there?
mdp.39015028942830	I suppose, Doc, you've got a dozen reasons why it was homicide and not suicide?
mdp.39015028942830	I suppose,Westborough hazarded,"that there is no doubt about the girl really being Mary Winters?"
mdp.39015028942830	I was on duty, was n't I? mdp.39015028942830 I would have if they were fakes, would n't I?"
mdp.39015028942830	I'll bite, why?
mdp.39015028942830	I'm not saying it was — see? mdp.39015028942830 I?
mdp.39015028942830	I? mdp.39015028942830 I?
mdp.39015028942830	If you're not doing anything special, what about a walk to Lincoln Park?
mdp.39015028942830	In the name of the seven ring- tailed fishes, what's that?
mdp.39015028942830	Including any of the people in the west corridor?
mdp.39015028942830	Irish, is she?
mdp.39015028942830	Is a murderer essentially different from other peo- ple?
mdp.39015028942830	Is he still there?
mdp.39015028942830	Is that all you heard?
mdp.39015028942830	Is that right, Graham?
mdp.39015028942830	Is that what she's called? mdp.39015028942830 Is that what you call a photostat?"
mdp.39015028942830	It does seem a bit too much, does n't it? mdp.39015028942830 It was wiped clean?"
mdp.39015028942830	Jerry, what became of Devon's lighter?
mdp.39015028942830	Keep your eye on that mirror, will you? mdp.39015028942830 Killed?"
mdp.39015028942830	Know a guy by the name of Jasper?
mdp.39015028942830	Know anything about Swink's past?
mdp.39015028942830	Know anything about this?
mdp.39015028942830	Know him?
mdp.39015028942830	Know what those things are for?
mdp.39015028942830	Know what time you were there?
mdp.39015028942830	Larson, huh? mdp.39015028942830 Larson, why are n't you at the desk?"
mdp.39015028942830	Larson?
mdp.39015028942830	Lieutenant Mack, will you loan me your pocketbook, watch charm, key case, any little object you have carried and touched?
mdp.39015028942830	Lobbyist, huh?
mdp.39015028942830	May I accompany you?
mdp.39015028942830	Maybe you knew him under the name of Chilton?
mdp.39015028942830	Meaning?
mdp.39015028942830	Miss Gant, where were you this evening?
mdp.39015028942830	Morning or afternoon?
mdp.39015028942830	Mr. Westborough held out his hands — you know what tiny, frail hands he has for a man — and said,'With these?' mdp.39015028942830 Must I?"
mdp.39015028942830	Must you shoot up my hotel?
mdp.39015028942830	My God, when?
mdp.39015028942830	Nee- dles? mdp.39015028942830 Neither did I. Button, button, who's got the button?"
mdp.39015028942830	Never saw her before the other night, I suppose?
mdp.39015028942830	Next door to Swink, huh?
mdp.39015028942830	Nippers?
mdp.39015028942830	No more stops along the way?
mdp.39015028942830	No?
mdp.39015028942830	No?
mdp.39015028942830	No?
mdp.39015028942830	No?
mdp.39015028942830	No?
mdp.39015028942830	Nor have any long talks with him?
mdp.39015028942830	Nor hear his name?
mdp.39015028942830	Norah said that?
mdp.39015028942830	Not at all,she was about to say when Westborough asked, a propos de bottes:"Does anybody in our corridor carry a cane?"
mdp.39015028942830	Not much dough in that, is there?
mdp.39015028942830	Not the connecting door between the two rooms?
mdp.39015028942830	Not trying to kid me, are you?
mdp.39015028942830	Now how on earth did you know that? mdp.39015028942830 Now how the devil did that detail slip my mind?"
mdp.39015028942830	Oh hell, what difference does it make? mdp.39015028942830 Oh yeah?"
mdp.39015028942830	Oh, hell, sit down and write it out for me, will you?
mdp.39015028942830	Oh, it might, huh? mdp.39015028942830 Oh, you want one of those, do you?
mdp.39015028942830	On Sunday?
mdp.39015028942830	Or I can rent a car?
mdp.39015028942830	Or a picture of him?
mdp.39015028942830	People talking?
mdp.39015028942830	Per- haps one of the workmen abstracted the cyanide and sold it without the knowledge of his employer?
mdp.39015028942830	Pipe? mdp.39015028942830 Practically a stranger, then?"
mdp.39015028942830	Prince Abdul of Muckamuck?
mdp.39015028942830	Psychometry, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Refuse to talk, huh?
mdp.39015028942830	Remember the family that got in around midnight? mdp.39015028942830 Replenishment?"
mdp.39015028942830	Say, potassium cyanide's a white powder, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Searching their persons, too?
mdp.39015028942830	See a good show?
mdp.39015028942830	See anyone around when you said good- night?
mdp.39015028942830	Shall we have him in, Johnny?
mdp.39015028942830	Silly, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Silver plating?
mdp.39015028942830	Sleeping?
mdp.39015028942830	Smoke in Devon's lungs?
mdp.39015028942830	So the Gant girl was just another guest to you?
mdp.39015028942830	So this is your hide- out?
mdp.39015028942830	So what?
mdp.39015028942830	So what?
mdp.39015028942830	So you could n't hear a noise in the hall?
mdp.39015028942830	So you heard us?
mdp.39015028942830	So you were gone all evening?
mdp.39015028942830	So your husband has a gun?
mdp.39015028942830	Sodium or potassium?
mdp.39015028942830	Someone sure made a mess, did n't they? mdp.39015028942830 Speaking of Phelan, how were you able to remember all the times people asked for keys and so on?
mdp.39015028942830	Squarehead, another crack like that out of you and I'll"You'll what?
mdp.39015028942830	Stiff gone to the morgue?
mdp.39015028942830	Still want him?
mdp.39015028942830	Stogie, Johnny?
mdp.39015028942830	Study?
mdp.39015028942830	Suppose,Westborough conjectured,"the murder took place in Swink's room?"
mdp.39015028942830	Sure of that?
mdp.39015028942830	Sure you're not keeping something back?
mdp.39015028942830	Swann, will you tell everyone on this floor not to leave their rooms?
mdp.39015028942830	Swell idea,Mack grunted,"Get her some paper and pencils, will you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Swink did n't try it, then?
mdp.39015028942830	Swink strike you as being on the level?
mdp.39015028942830	Swink's door does n't stick, does it?
mdp.39015028942830	Swink's past, perhaps?
mdp.39015028942830	Take it with you?
mdp.39015028942830	Take you over two and a half hours to drive forty miles?
mdp.39015028942830	Ten minutes?
mdp.39015028942830	That from the client?
mdp.39015028942830	That means your one and only room key was down at the desk from eight thirty until — what time'd you get back?
mdp.39015028942830	That the same stuff you gave Jerry Spanger?
mdp.39015028942830	The Goddess of Luck, then, has not been overly pro- pitious?
mdp.39015028942830	The fire escape?
mdp.39015028942830	The hook could fit into that loop of string, but how would you get the thing fastened to the door?
mdp.39015028942830	The next question is,'Has our murderer a logical mind?' mdp.39015028942830 The office keeps the key?"
mdp.39015028942830	Then what did you do?
mdp.39015028942830	Then why not close the case of cleaner tools?
mdp.39015028942830	Then you did n't go to your room until after nine- thirty?
mdp.39015028942830	Then you do n't know what Whittington looks like?
mdp.39015028942830	Then you left Swink's room about five minutes to nine?
mdp.39015028942830	There's another corridor on the north, is n't there?
mdp.39015028942830	They left their little boy alone here, did n't they?
mdp.39015028942830	Thinking about anybody in the hotel?
mdp.39015028942830	This is bad business — smart- aleck reporters snooping around — smear it all over the front page — what time'd it happen, anyhow?
mdp.39015028942830	Through already, boys?
mdp.39015028942830	To help bring a murderer to justice?
mdp.39015028942830	Too late to help him, though?
mdp.39015028942830	Tough on you, was n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Tried to sell you something, did n't he?
mdp.39015028942830	Unsolved mystery, huh?
mdp.39015028942830	Upset about your wife, were n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	Very well?
mdp.39015028942830	Want Chilton?
mdp.39015028942830	Want me to wrap'em up in cotton wool?
mdp.39015028942830	Want the stiff at the morgue, Doc?
mdp.39015028942830	Want to make it half a buck?
mdp.39015028942830	Warned you, ma'am?
mdp.39015028942830	Was Chilton in here last night?
mdp.39015028942830	Was Mr. Swink one of the men?
mdp.39015028942830	Was he that fat man across the hall?
mdp.39015028942830	Was his door open?
mdp.39015028942830	Was it raining the night Mr. Swink met his death?
mdp.39015028942830	Was n't Devon also of the criminal element?
mdp.39015028942830	Was n't it the Arab, Ahmed ben Abdalaziz, who men- tioned the curious tradition that a serpent which fixes its eyes upon an emerald becomes blind? mdp.39015028942830 Was n't that part of the inves- tigation?"
mdp.39015028942830	Was the closet door locked while you were gone?
mdp.39015028942830	Was there a scream? mdp.39015028942830 Was your wife in on the job, too?"
mdp.39015028942830	We'd have seen him if he'd come out, would n't we?
mdp.39015028942830	We're still here, are n't we?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, I was coming down the corridor"Which corridor?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, McCarter?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, Miss Gant, where do you work?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, fellow, what's so funny?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, my dear, and how it everything going?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, that's what we're paid for, ai n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, then, did you hear Swink moving in his room tonight?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, what chance has it?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, what do you mean?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, what of it? mdp.39015028942830 Well, what of it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Well, what of it?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, what was it?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, when did he?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, who said I saw him at eight?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, why should n't it have? mdp.39015028942830 Well?"
mdp.39015028942830	Well?
mdp.39015028942830	Well?
mdp.39015028942830	Well?

mdp.39015028942830	Why do you bleed?
mdp.39015028942830	Why had n't she said something before about the door sticking?
mdp.39015028942830	Why not?
mdp.39015028942830	Why not?
mdp.39015028942830	Why should he?
mdp.39015028942830	Why should you be? mdp.39015028942830 Why the hell do n't you tell us to go out and do a good old- fashioned job of selling?
mdp.39015028942830	Why'd you lock Spanger in the closet?
mdp.39015028942830	Why?
mdp.39015028942830	Why?
mdp.39015028942830	Will it do that, Larson?
mdp.39015028942830	Will you talk now or at the station?
mdp.39015028942830	Wo n't you sit down, my dear?
mdp.39015028942830	Wo n't you sit down?
mdp.39015028942830	Wonder if it hurts when they throw you out?
mdp.39015028942830	Work pretty hard, Larson?
mdp.39015028942830	Would it be possible for someone to borrow surrepti- tiously an employee's passkey and retain it sufficiently long to have a duplicate made?
mdp.39015028942830	Would the edge leave that kind of mark, Doc?
mdp.39015028942830	Would you be willing to be my secretary until a more remunerative position pre- sents itself?
mdp.39015028942830	Would you mind saying that again?
mdp.39015028942830	Yassuh, boss?
mdp.39015028942830	Yeah, that mean anything to you? mdp.39015028942830 You buy those things at chemical supply houses, and there are n't so many of those, are there, Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	You ca n't or you wo n't?
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't go back to your own room or up to the third floor?
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't hear a scream just after you left your brother?
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't see your client?
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't sneak across the corridor to Graham's 98 THE FIFTH TUMBLER apartment? mdp.39015028942830 You did n't undress him?"
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't wait in the corridor until Swink had opened his door?
mdp.39015028942830	You do n't know that hydrocyanic acid smells like bitter almonds?
mdp.39015028942830	You do n't know who he was talking to?
mdp.39015028942830	You do n't mean you have n't heard?
mdp.39015028942830	You found the garage, then?
mdp.39015028942830	You got some idea, have n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	You had dinner together?
mdp.39015028942830	You heard it from here?
mdp.39015028942830	You keep a supply of blanks here, I suppose?
mdp.39015028942830	You knew Elmo Swink?
mdp.39015028942830	You know a lot about poisons, do n't you, West- borough?
mdp.39015028942830	You know what you can do to King Solomon's Mines, do n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	You know, do n't you? mdp.39015028942830 You left him in the west corridor?"
mdp.39015028942830	You mean I'm under suspicion?
mdp.39015028942830	You met him out of the hotel?
mdp.39015028942830	You might wait for a fellow,he grumbled and then asked,"Well, whatta you make of it, Johnny?"
mdp.39015028942830	You moved into the room next door the first of the week?
mdp.39015028942830	You on duty last night, George?
mdp.39015028942830	You on duty last night?
mdp.39015028942830	You said he died as soon as he got the door open?
mdp.39015028942830	You said, Terry, that Larson opened this window?
mdp.39015028942830	You sure you would have noticed him?
mdp.39015028942830	You sure?
mdp.39015028942830	You think there's something fishy about him?
mdp.39015028942830	You think, then,Westborough summarized in his THE FIFTH TUMBLER precise fashion,"that the murderer left the hotel to es- tablish an alibi?"
mdp.39015028942830	You were gone all evening, were n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	You were looking for a passkey, too, were n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	You what?
mdp.39015028942830	You — you'll take care of yourself?
mdp.39015028942830	You're pretty good, I suppose?
mdp.39015028942830	You're sorta thick with the Grahams, are n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	You're sure Swink was alone?
mdp.39015028942830	You're sure you saw nobody else, Miss Colmar?
mdp.39015028942830	You've had some trouble, have n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	Your husband got in today, did n't he?
mdp.39015028942830	Your lawyer is quite right,Westborough put in gently,"but, Mrs. Blakely, you want to help the police to bring a murderer to justice, do you not?"
mdp.39015028942830	Your name is n't Chilton, of course?
mdp.39015028942830	Your person too?
mdp.39015028942830	Your suspect is, of course, Larson?
mdp.39015028942830	'Was that scratch a plant?'
mdp.39015028942830	'You know my sister- in- law personally?'
mdp.39015028942830	-'"What'd you do then?"
mdp.39015028942830	100 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"You mean that?"
mdp.39015028942830	118 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Why sorry?"
mdp.39015028942830	140 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Why?"
mdp.39015028942830	160 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Keep records of when you let a bellhop or somebody take one?"
mdp.39015028942830	2 THE FIFTH TUMBLER Workers?
mdp.39015028942830	226 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Your father- in- law's in Elgin, is n't he?"
mdp.39015028942830	231 232 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Did you find anything missing from Mr. Devon's dresser that morning?"
mdp.39015028942830	238 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Did n't Spanger say that he found it in the south cor- ridor?"
mdp.39015028942830	38 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"And you did n't find that out before you left New York?"
mdp.39015028942830	68 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"How well did you people know Swink?"
mdp.39015028942830	72 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Do you know if Mr. Swink had any enemies in this hotel?"
mdp.39015028942830	74 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Did Hammond hear you gossiping?"
mdp.39015028942830	96 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Murder rap?"
mdp.39015028942830	A big help, is n't it?"
mdp.39015028942830	About opening doors for guests and letting other people handle'em and so on?"
mdp.39015028942830	After that accident Swink faded from sight, and there's a hi — hi — what's the word I'm trying to say?"
mdp.39015028942830	All of them were searched, were n't they?"
mdp.39015028942830	All the maids carry passkeys, do n't they?"
mdp.39015028942830	Also, did he know — or care — that his trap might close upon an innocent victim?
mdp.39015028942830	Although I do n't imagine that will be very helpful, will it?"
mdp.39015028942830	And I said,'Yes, the world is a small place, is n't it?'
mdp.39015028942830	And I've got a lot more work to do right in this hotel — see?
mdp.39015028942830	And Miss Gant?
mdp.39015028942830	And did n't add potassium cyanide to it and cork up the tube?
mdp.39015028942830	And did n't let yourself into this room through the connecting door from your own room?
mdp.39015028942830	And he's your brother?"
mdp.39015028942830	And should not a disciple of Klio follow the same procedure?
mdp.39015028942830	And why?
mdp.39015028942830	And, without opening the door to the hall, hook the test tube above the edge of the door?"
mdp.39015028942830	Angina pec- toris, was n't it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Any relation to your night clerk?"
mdp.39015028942830	Anything at all suspicious?"
mdp.39015028942830	Anything else?"
mdp.39015028942830	Are you able to suggest a site where my dictation to Miss Gant would not be derogatory to public morals?"
mdp.39015028942830	As I said to Mr. Swink,'Would n't it be a wonder- ful monument to George to invest his money in a town that bears his name?'
mdp.39015028942830	Ask Cap- tain O'Ryan if it's all right, will you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Before Hammond could answer, a patrolman came to 228 THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Then what?
mdp.39015028942830	Besides, these doors lock auto- matically, so why should anybody leave a key on the in- side?"
mdp.39015028942830	Blakely?"
mdp.39015028942830	Blakely?"
mdp.39015028942830	Blakely?"
mdp.39015028942830	Bobolink of Gold, I think, or is it just plain Link?
mdp.39015028942830	But Devon knew who he was — see?
mdp.39015028942830	But how does a fellow manage to get hold of this cyanide?"
mdp.39015028942830	But it was gone for a while, was n't it?"
mdp.39015028942830	But its position in the south corridor""Yeah,"Mack cut in,"but if it did n't fall out that way, how did it get there?"
mdp.39015028942830	But to throw into the discus- sion a morsel of gossip whose choiceness would do credit to Mrs. Blakely?
mdp.39015028942830	But what of it?"
mdp.39015028942830	But where does he get the paper he took to the baler?"
mdp.39015028942830	But why""Does that thing have to stay here?"
mdp.39015028942830	Button?
mdp.39015028942830	By the way, you did n't happen to see anything that looked like sul- phuric acid — or maybe another acid?"
mdp.39015028942830	Can it be altogether pure coincidence?
mdp.39015028942830	Can there be another pick or similar im- plement belonging to a guest in the west corridor?
mdp.39015028942830	Can you guess what it was?"
mdp.39015028942830	Candor deliberately assumed to disarm suspicion?
mdp.39015028942830	Chemistry tonight, was it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Chilton?"
mdp.39015028942830	Clothes torn?
mdp.39015028942830	Come on now, how did she look?
mdp.39015028942830	Convenient, is n't it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Could I surmount that obstacle""What's your fifth?"
mdp.39015028942830	Could he have known?
mdp.39015028942830	Dear me, I wonder if it can be traced to John of Gaunt and the Black Prince?"
mdp.39015028942830	Devon was soaping a box""Soaping a box?"
mdp.39015028942830	Devon?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did he tell you why he killed that devil Swink?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did he tell you why?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did n't Whittington's sec- retary tell you about him?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did n't you know it would be a dead giveaway?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did n't you tell'em to give it a ride?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did n't you, Papa?"
mdp.39015028942830	Did we search your room the night of the murder?"
mdp.39015028942830	Do n't you think so, Mr. West- borough?"
mdp.39015028942830	Do you check with that, Terry?"
mdp.39015028942830	Do you know what I'm going to do today?"
mdp.39015028942830	Do you know what happened this morning?
mdp.39015028942830	Do you want to sit in on it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Do you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Does he think we're a bunch of ten- year- olds?"
mdp.39015028942830	Does such a relation exist be- tween Mr. Jasper and Mr. Colmar?
mdp.39015028942830	Drop in at headquarters some time, will you?
mdp.39015028942830	Either Miss Gant or the Hammonds among them?"
mdp.39015028942830	Fear: The unknown person whom I heard Swink ad- dress last Monday?
mdp.39015028942830	Funny, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Got his soup the usual way by soaking sawdust in alky""Sawdust?"
mdp.39015028942830	Graham?"
mdp.39015028942830	Graham?"
mdp.39015028942830	Hair mussed?"
mdp.39015028942830	Hammond's bewilderment was ap- parently genuine — or was it?
mdp.39015028942830	Hammond?"
mdp.39015028942830	Hammond?"
mdp.39015028942830	Have you got any girls with that habit?"
mdp.39015028942830	He added, as casually as he could make it,"Did the police learn anything concerning Mr. Swink's past?"
mdp.39015028942830	He closed the subject and asked,"Was Swink the fat, flabby fellow?"
mdp.39015028942830	He is n't going to run away?"
mdp.39015028942830	He looked up from his manuscript and said in a tired, patient voice,'Whatever have I done now?'
mdp.39015028942830	He picked up the wire from the floor and asked,"What do you make of this hook thing?"
mdp.39015028942830	He rose to his feet and shuffled toward the desk in time to hear Mack ask Collins:"Chilton in?"
mdp.39015028942830	He said, in the same calm, patient voice,'Then it was my lock that the scratches were on?'
mdp.39015028942830	He's""What time'd you leave?"
mdp.39015028942830	How about you, Terry?"
mdp.39015028942830	How old are you?"
mdp.39015028942830	How was I to know the guy was going to be murdered?
mdp.39015028942830	How'd you expect anyone to sleep with the racket you were making in here?"
mdp.39015028942830	I believe there is a saying relative to the impossibility of a man standing upon one leg?"
mdp.39015028942830	I did n't mean to jimmy the bull, but could I help it?
mdp.39015028942830	I never heard of a murder without a motive, but what is it?"
mdp.39015028942830	I ought to know how my own eyes feel, should n't I?"
mdp.39015028942830	I remember now because just before I had said to Esther""When did you hear Mr. Swink walking down the hall?"
mdp.39015028942830	I tell you we went over the whole place with a""What about the trick pocket in Chilton's suitcase?"
mdp.39015028942830	I told him who I was, and he said,'Not Mrs. George Blakely?'
mdp.39015028942830	I was out working my territory — see?
mdp.39015028942830	If we want anything else we can always get you at your Springfield address, ca n't we?"
mdp.39015028942830	If you're trying to insinu- ate""Now who said I was?"
mdp.39015028942830	Instead:"Who's the manager?"
mdp.39015028942830	Is Mr. Swink carrying a bottle to bed with him?'
mdp.39015028942830	Is Mrs. Graham out?
mdp.39015028942830	Is it possible that either of them se- lected rooms in order to be near Swink?
mdp.39015028942830	Is it significant that Chilton and Devon are able to produce seemingly ironclad alibis for nine- thirty but no alibis for ten?
mdp.39015028942830	Is n't that a coinci- dence?
mdp.39015028942830	Is n't that right?"
mdp.39015028942830	It's signed Amco, but what the hell?
mdp.39015028942830	Jasper?"
mdp.39015028942830	Just where would you hide the papers if you was a horse?"
mdp.39015028942830	Larson hastened to suggest:"You did n't really see any definite evidence of an affair between Mrs. Hammond and Mr. Swink, did you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Larson?
mdp.39015028942830	Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	Later a THE FIFTH TUMBLER 183 motion picture or a call upon his sister- in- law?
mdp.39015028942830	M THE FIFTH TUMBLER"Why do n't you gentlemen make use of my room?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack angrily demanded,"You mean you've been wast- ing my time spouting a lot of hot air?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack asked irrelevantly,"Was Mr. Hammond in bed when you got back?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack asked quickly, and Jasper answered,"Was he?
mdp.39015028942830	Mack inquired,"You do the locksmith work around here?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack leaned forward eagerly and asked,"Did you find out anything?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack repeated,"Why did n't Hammond like Swink?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack said,"Are the mattresses in this hotel ever changed from one room to another?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mack said,"Huh?
mdp.39015028942830	Mack said,"Oh, we ca n't, eh?"
mdp.39015028942830	Mr. Spanger, does n't the hotel keep a com- THE FIFTH TUMBLER 85 plete set of duplicate keys to every room?
mdp.39015028942830	Mrs. Hammond, perhaps?
mdp.39015028942830	My friends say I'm psychic""Is Hammond a traveling man?"
mdp.39015028942830	My poor George always used to"Ca n't you make a closer guess than between nine and ten?"
mdp.39015028942830	Next we know he turns up in New York""Did you learn the reason for Jasper's errand?"
mdp.39015028942830	Nothing at all — Lieutenant Mack, is n't it?
mdp.39015028942830	Nothing that we do n't already know, do you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Now I've been thinking — what do you call the things that make the fireworks start but do n't take any part in it themselves?"
mdp.39015028942830	Now what do you make of that?"
mdp.39015028942830	Now what's it all about?"
mdp.39015028942830	Now, Larson, where were you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Now, are you going to give me the keys or not?"
mdp.39015028942830	O'Ryan demanded:"I'm with you in most everything you do, Johnny, but why let that guy get out?
mdp.39015028942830	On the other hand we can always get hold of Colmar, ca n't we?
mdp.39015028942830	Or am I?
mdp.39015028942830	Or are you Lieu- tenant O'Ryan?"
mdp.39015028942830	Or could he?"
mdp.39015028942830	Or did he make sure that she had already left the corri- dor before he arranged his pitfall?
mdp.39015028942830	Or does he?
mdp.39015028942830	Or would you call them violet?"
mdp.39015028942830	Out rather late tonight, Swann, are n't you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Perhaps a stroll through Lincoln Park?
mdp.39015028942830	Permanents?
mdp.39015028942830	Promoter, is he?
mdp.39015028942830	Quaeritur: Have any guests secured their rooms since the advent of Swink two weeks ago?
mdp.39015028942830	Quaeritur: In the event he provided his own supply of acid, what means of disposal was used for the excess or for the container?
mdp.39015028942830	Quaerxtur: Can one be sure that the murderer was in Swink's room at nine- thirty?
mdp.39015028942830	Queens?
mdp.39015028942830	Remember the other morning?"
mdp.39015028942830	Right?
mdp.39015028942830	See?
mdp.39015028942830	See?"
mdp.39015028942830	She nodded, and Mack broke in, a puzzled expres- sion on his face:"How could you help do that by being in the hall?"
mdp.39015028942830	Should he or should he not reveal a certain memory?
mdp.39015028942830	So Devon was shot?"
mdp.39015028942830	So Mr. Spanger is the key to our riddle?"
mdp.39015028942830	So what?"
mdp.39015028942830	So you did n't go up to your room until ten?"
mdp.39015028942830	Some sort of mathematics, huh?"
mdp.39015028942830	Still solving the crime?"
mdp.39015028942830	Suppose that he had conducted an in- vestigation of his own, had penetrated the killer's secret?
mdp.39015028942830	Swann been killing off his cus- tomers?"
mdp.39015028942830	Swink was a slimy animal, but what the hell?
mdp.39015028942830	Swink?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 111"Big hurry to tell us that, are n't you?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 173"What was Swink's racket?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 213"How did you know that?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 255"'Either a surprisingly stupid one,'Mr. Westborough said,'or'"He stopped, and Lieutenant Mack asked,'Or what?'
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 39"How'd you get acquainted with him, then?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 43"How does that story strike you, Terry?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 79 Mack put in quietly,"Did you see Miss Gant open her door and find Swink, or did she tell you about that after- wards?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 81"Try it to see?"
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 87"Oh, do n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	THE FIFTH TUMBLER 97 Hammond growled,"Think I'd have stayed quietly in my room if I'd known that?"
mdp.39015028942830	Take your jane to dinner?"
mdp.39015028942830	That make sense?"
mdp.39015028942830	That means any employee or any guest, do you understand?
mdp.39015028942830	That means you're in each room half an hour?"
mdp.39015028942830	That sound reasonable?"
mdp.39015028942830	That what you mean?"
mdp.39015028942830	That's funny I""Could he have just changed his clothes?"
mdp.39015028942830	That's logic, is n't it?"
mdp.39015028942830	The case, of course, was used for vacuum cleaner acces- sories, but why was it open?
mdp.39015028942830	Then Lieutenant Mack said again,'Or what?'
mdp.39015028942830	Then Mr. Westborough asked him,'Have you talked to my sister- in- law?'
mdp.39015028942830	Then we had something to eat, and""Good show?"
mdp.39015028942830	Then:"What're you doing in Chicago, Chilton?"
mdp.39015028942830	Think I keep looking at my ticker all the time?"
mdp.39015028942830	Thread?"
mdp.39015028942830	Transients, or what?"
mdp.39015028942830	Un- fair to throw her to the wolves?
mdp.39015028942830	Up to this after- noon""This afternoon?"
mdp.39015028942830	Waiting while a man — the man you love, she told herself — was in that room?
mdp.39015028942830	Was Swann telling the truth about the reason for his return to the hotel?
mdp.39015028942830	Was it imagination, or could she actually hear Chris breathing in the next room?
mdp.39015028942830	Was it locked or unlocked?"
mdp.39015028942830	Was the door to Swink's room from the hall open?"
mdp.39015028942830	Was there or was n't there smoke in his room when we opened the door?"
mdp.39015028942830	Was there, could there be anything worse than wait- ing?
mdp.39015028942830	Well, what do you do in New York?"
mdp.39015028942830	Well, where were you before ten?"
mdp.39015028942830	Westborough said slowly,"You refer, of course, to Graham's unobserved progress to the west corridor?"
mdp.39015028942830	Westborough suggested diffidently,"Have you investi- gated the guests'telephone calls?
mdp.39015028942830	Westborough?"
mdp.39015028942830	Westborough?"
mdp.39015028942830	Westborough?'
mdp.39015028942830	What did go on last night?"
mdp.39015028942830	What did he do with it?"
mdp.39015028942830	What do you know about Swink?"
mdp.39015028942830	What do you make of it?"
mdp.39015028942830	What do you mean it does?"
mdp.39015028942830	What do you think is the next thing to do?"
mdp.39015028942830	What do you want to know first, Captain Mack?
mdp.39015028942830	What else would you say was missing?"
mdp.39015028942830	What floor, sir?"
mdp.39015028942830	What skeleton key would work on a layout like that?
mdp.39015028942830	What time'd you come in the hotel?"
mdp.39015028942830	What time'd you get back to the hotel?"
mdp.39015028942830	What was the word so much in vogue to- day?
mdp.39015028942830	What would he pass on Randolph Street that has any bearing on this case?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's between you and the Gant girl, and what'd you do to Swink the other night?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's it all about?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's that thing, Johnny?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's the rest of it?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's your opinion of Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's your slant on this?"
mdp.39015028942830	What's your slant on this?"
mdp.39015028942830	When the door had closed behind the three men he remarked to Westborough,"Is that old dame loony?
mdp.39015028942830	Where did he learn that secret?
mdp.39015028942830	Where did he take you?"
mdp.39015028942830	Where's your home town, Chilton?"
mdp.39015028942830	Where?"
mdp.39015028942830	Which do you think?"
mdp.39015028942830	While on the subject of psychology, however, what can one glean of the murderer's?
mdp.39015028942830	Who are the"X's,""Y's,"and"Z's"to this human equation?
mdp.39015028942830	Who could check that?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who did it, Jerry?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who does he cater to?
mdp.39015028942830	Who was it?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who was the fellow you came up to see?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who's at home now, Jerry?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who's he?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who's your client?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who, then, was physically able to have been in Swink's room at the proper hour?
mdp.39015028942830	Who?"
mdp.39015028942830	Who?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why did n't you bring these out before, Chilton?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why is this junk spread out on the floor?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why not?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why not?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why was the bedclothing disarranged?
mdp.39015028942830	Why?
mdp.39015028942830	Why?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why?"
mdp.39015028942830	Why?"
mdp.39015028942830	Would n't anyone?
mdp.39015028942830	Would n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	XXI"Would this instrument enable,"Westborough glanced nervously toward the corpse,"Mr. Devon to open the doors of this hotel?"
mdp.39015028942830	Yes, but why should Larson put his information so readily at the disposal of the police?
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't know I knew French too, did you?"
mdp.39015028942830	You did n't steal a test tube and some sul- phuric acid from his kid's chemical set?"
mdp.39015028942830	You do n't suppose the ushers in the big Loop movie houses remember all the faces they see, do you?"
mdp.39015028942830	You fellows are working overtime, are n't you?"
mdp.39015028942830	You had a fairly good job with them, did n't you?
mdp.39015028942830	You know that thing of Eugene Lee- Hamilton's?
mdp.39015028942830	You know those silly little buttons on coat sleeves?
mdp.39015028942830	You were about to say you wondered why this had the initials B. D., were n't you?"
mdp.39015028942830	You were n't even on duty then, were you?"
mdp.39015028942830	You wo n't mind copying this again, Miss Gant?"
mdp.39015028942830	You'd think those fellows would spread out a bit over the rest of the city instead of nest- ing up with their competitors, would n't you?"
mdp.39015028942830	You're the night clerk here, are n't you, Larson?"
mdp.39015028942830	it?"
mdp.39015063947108	Oh, mother, ” remonstrated Sylvia, “ why did n't you stop them and ask them what they wanted?
mdp.39015063947108	), she would accept him to please her mother — and what happier lot could the Fates have in store for him?
mdp.39015063947108	254 GIUSEPPE THE INSCRUTABLE 255 “ You were some years in Mrs. Lynden's service, were n't you? ” he inquired of his leader.
mdp.39015063947108	A nice state he has doen in ever sind you hear?
mdp.39015063947108	A real, nice, rainy thaw?"
mdp.39015063947108	Accomplices?
mdp.39015063947108	Always together — what?
mdp.39015063947108	And how is Mr. Alder? ” “ All right, thanks.
mdp.39015063947108	And then — what is one to do? ” The dilemma was not very lucidly put, but Harry was equal to the occasion.
mdp.39015063947108	And what does Mrs. Lynden say? ” Ah, that was the reverse side of the medal.
mdp.39015063947108	And why is my niece set free at his request?
mdp.39015063947108	And — oh, what has happened to your hair? ” “ Only singed, like my eyebrows and eyelashes,"answered Mrs. Lynden, trying to laugh.
mdp.39015063947108	Are you fond of hunting? ”"Now I am going to make you despise me.
mdp.39015063947108	As for the other girl, I could have told you, only you would n't have listened, that she was no good. ” “ What do you mean by no good?"
mdp.39015063947108	At all events, he did n't refuse, though I had to be firm with him- firm with him. ” “ Had he found that any of his parishioners wrote like that?"
mdp.39015063947108	Augustus go “ Was he very angry? ” “ Very.
mdp.39015063947108	Augustus got one the other night- did you hear?
mdp.39015063947108	Because the truth is bound to come out in the long run, and then, if you have put yourself in the position of an accomplice, where are you, you know?
mdp.39015063947108	Because you do n't like Miss Rowe?"
mdp.39015063947108	Besides — aren't we playing golf? ” “ Of course we are,"answered Harry.
mdp.39015063947108	But I do say that, for Mrs. Lynden's security, these roads ought to be better watched than they are. ” “ So you're undertaking the job yourself?
mdp.39015063947108	But Mr. Jackson, needless to say, was nowhere on the earth's surface, and — where was Miss Rowe?
mdp.39015063947108	But first, would you not prefer to have your arms freed?"
mdp.39015063947108	But if you do n't mind my asking- do you wish it? ” Mrs. Lynden's hands flew up.
mdp.39015063947108	But that is your affair. ” “ What does he mean, do you think? ” Geoffrey asked of his friend, on the way back to the study.
mdp.39015063947108	But that's past praying for. ” Was it?
mdp.39015063947108	But was he, in this instance, either?
mdp.39015063947108	But what did they do to him?
mdp.39015063947108	But what is the old girl driving at?
mdp.39015063947108	But what you say is,'If this is n't Nick Alder, who on earth can it be?'
mdp.39015063947108	But who has not been similarly ridiculous once upon a time?
mdp.39015063947108	But will that be necessary? ” “ I should imagine so, after all the fuss that he has made and is making.
mdp.39015063947108	But, after that letter to Joe, I'm not altogether surprised. ” “ Did Mr. Cotton have a letter? ” Mrs. Lynden asked.
mdp.39015063947108	By the way, I presume you mean me to take it as an offer? ” “ Oh, I did n't quite mean that, ” replied Geoffrey, rather taken aback.
mdp.39015063947108	By the way, are we going to say 154 TROUBLED TRANTON anything to mother about Miss Rowe?
mdp.39015063947108	Can I see her? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	Come now, Geoffrey, you ca n't ask me to believe in that as an explanation — what? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	Did Sylvia guess that it had been under discussion?
mdp.39015063947108	Do I look like a detec- tive? ” inquired Sir Augustus, who certainly did not.
mdp.39015063947108	Do be compassionate and look in again soon. ” “ Are you walking? ” Sylvia asked.
mdp.39015063947108	Do you know that Aunt Isabella is going to have the lights put out at one o'clock?"
mdp.39015063947108	Do you think she is getting any better? ” Sylvia was afraid not.
mdp.39015063947108	Eh? — what?
mdp.39015063947108	Eh? — what?
mdp.39015063947108	Even supposing that the girl did not love Geoffrey( yet why should n't she?
mdp.39015063947108	Everybody's simply furious about it. ” “ Is your father furious? ” asked Sylvia quickly.
mdp.39015063947108	Fox- cubs?
mdp.39015063947108	Francesca will serve you. ”"Are you Francesca? ” inquired Dorothy, look- ing up at the woman, who had watched her in- tently while she read.
mdp.39015063947108	Francesca, do you think you could manage to get a hot bottle for me?"
mdp.39015063947108	Had n't he felt at all uncomfortable about it?
mdp.39015063947108	Had the man in the black domino unintentionally done him a good turn?
mdp.39015063947108	Have Mrs. and Miss Lynden been in Florence lately? ” “ Yes, I should think they may have been. ” “ Ah!
mdp.39015063947108	Have you had any report from him? ” “ Yes, I've heard from the fellow,"answered Sir 92 TROUBLED TRANTON come?
mdp.39015063947108	Have you had any report from him? ” “ Yes, I've heard from the fellow,"answered Sir 92 TROUBLED TRANTON come?
mdp.39015063947108	He is furious, is n't he? ” “ That depends upon what you mean by furious.
mdp.39015063947108	He put his horse in motion, then stopped, and called out over his shoulder: “ Have my coverts ever been drawn blank?
mdp.39015063947108	How am I to get home, pray?"
mdp.39015063947108	How can I?
mdp.39015063947108	How could she help thinking of it?
mdp.39015063947108	How could the fire have spread to the pergola with such extraordinary rapidity unless some inflammable substance or liquid had been employed?
mdp.39015063947108	How did you think her looking?"
mdp.39015063947108	How do you get over that? ” “ For the moment, ” Sylvia made frank admis- sion, “ I ca n't get over it, though there must be some explanation.
mdp.39015063947108	How long should you think that it would take them to drive here from Saltwood?"
mdp.39015063947108	How was Sylvia to tell her smiling, tearful, woe- begone little mother that it had become a forbidden way?
mdp.39015063947108	How, he asked, could a bare, empty structure have broken out into flames “ all of a moment like"without human agency?
mdp.39015063947108	I must admit that you gave me fair warning. ” “ Did I?
mdp.39015063947108	I suppose you are not alone in this house, are you?
mdp.39015063947108	I suppose you were pretty well when you came here?"
mdp.39015063947108	I want you, when I come back, to tell me the exact truth. ” “ But have n't I?"
mdp.39015063947108	I'm afraid you ca n't report that they look very bright, can you? ” “ Not just at the present moment, ” Harry con- fessed.
mdp.39015063947108	I'm humbly ready to back my own against it, though. ” “ How about Sylvia's? ” “ Sylvia's is developing, I think.
mdp.39015063947108	If not, where is she? ” “ Answer that question and you'll greatly oblige an innocent but responsible old woman.
mdp.39015063947108	If that aggrieved person was inno- cent, who was — or could be guilty?
mdp.39015063947108	If what you say you want is really all you want, why do n't you make Miss Rowe promise to refuse me?"
mdp.39015063947108	In reply to Dorothy's very natural question, “ If you do n't want to rob me, why in the world am I here?"
mdp.39015063947108	Is it too much to hope that you will behave with ordinary humanity and reasonableness?
mdp.39015063947108	Is n't she as nice as her mamma? ” “ She and I are great pals, ” answered Geoffrey, “ only we are not going to be husband and wife.
mdp.39015063947108	Is n't that the idea that's beginning to crystallise in your mind? ” “ I'm sure I do n't know; I suppose it ought.
mdp.39015063947108	Is she in this house?
mdp.39015063947108	It has been enough to frighten anybody, has n't it?"
mdp.39015063947108	It might n't be too late, eh? ” “ Altogether too late,"was Harry's brisk de- cision.
mdp.39015063947108	It sounds like a reasonable one, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063947108	It would n't be accepting dictation to do their bidding in this matter, would it?
mdp.39015063947108	Might as well have left you at home- what?"
mdp.39015063947108	Most likely the writer is one of the servants who had to be discharged. ” “ Do you think so?
mdp.39015063947108	No more need for us to try and make believe that we're lovers, is there?"
mdp.39015063947108	Now shall we go on discussing Amos or shall we dance? ” They did both.
mdp.39015063947108	ON THE LINKS AND ELSEWHERE 115 “ Then why not change partners? ” Mrs. Lynden asked.
mdp.39015063947108	Of course she did not care; why should she?
mdp.39015063947108	One ca n't help one's feelings, can one? ” “ No, ” he rejoined bitterly, “ one ca n't even when one would give a lot to be able to help them.
mdp.39015063947108	Or was it from Mrs. Lynden that the proposal emanated?
mdp.39015063947108	Ought I to say I'm sorry?
mdp.39015063947108	Please rub it off. ” “ May n't one be sorry when things come to an end? ” he pleaded.
mdp.39015063947108	Presently he asked: “ Is it to be war to the knife, then? ” “ Certainly not, ” answered his father, frowning.
mdp.39015063947108	Rather better fitted for an old gentleman than a young lady, eh?
mdp.39015063947108	She does n't even quite like that motor drive with the elderly Jackson. ” “ Is he elderly?"
mdp.39015063947108	She is n't really Geoffrey's sort at all. ” “ How can you possibly tell?
mdp.39015063947108	She wished it intensely, and was not- why should she be?-in the least ashamed of her wish.
mdp.39015063947108	Still, when all's said and done, this is a little bit my business, is n't it?
mdp.39015063947108	Sylvia could scarcely restrain herself from saying: “ Let us leave it, then. ” Why should her mother be made to undergo such continuous martyrdom?
mdp.39015063947108	That means that you will be taken into custody by the police and brought up before the magistrates. ” “ For what offence, sir?"
mdp.39015063947108	That sounds like saying that I'm going to be disagreeable, does n't it?
mdp.39015063947108	That was n't so very unnatural, was it? ” “ Possibly not.
mdp.39015063947108	That you, Geoffrey?
mdp.39015063947108	The fact that he had achieved a fair measure of literary and 96 FRIEND HARRY 97 journalistic success probably did not count for?
mdp.39015063947108	The letters-well, if she admits having written them, I sup- pose she wrote them; but what about the two men who attacked her?
mdp.39015063947108	The same sort of thing, I suppose?-calling her a usurper and so forth?"!
mdp.39015063947108	The same sort of thing, I suppose?-calling her a usurper and so forth?"!
mdp.39015063947108	The woman, it might be surmised, was in somebody's pay; but in whose?
mdp.39015063947108	Tit for tat; it's my turn now. ” “ You will remain here all night, then, sir? ” Giuseppe inquired, with another faint smile.
mdp.39015063947108	Upstairs and downstairs and into Aunt Isabella's chamber?!!
mdp.39015063947108	Was he going to bring fresh distress upon this poor, brave, harassed little mortal?
mdp.39015063947108	Was it imagination on his part, or did the melancholy Giuseppe fix a penetrating gaze upon him, as though aware of what he had been talking about?
mdp.39015063947108	Well, Miss Sylvia, how do you find the cob suiting you?
mdp.39015063947108	Well, here's a pretty state of things — what?
mdp.39015063947108	Were you in the same house as I was, I wonder? ” “ It is n't impossible, though they made out that it was a work of time to communicate with you.
mdp.39015063947108	What about the ex- plosive which might have blinded her and did un- doubtedly singe her hair, for I saw that with my own eyes?
mdp.39015063947108	What about their trying to burn the house down?
mdp.39015063947108	What can one do against such ubiquitous, in- tangible people?
mdp.39015063947108	What did they say to him?
mdp.39015063947108	What do you say?-brought by a little boy?
mdp.39015063947108	What do you say?-brought by a little boy?
mdp.39015063947108	What do you take to be the meaning of them?
mdp.39015063947108	What does it signify, after all?
mdp.39015063947108	What does she want with me?"
mdp.39015063947108	What does that mean? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	What kind of a man?"
mdp.39015063947108	What little boy?
mdp.39015063947108	What more would you have? ” 136 TROUBLED TRANTON “ Three more, please,"answered Geoffrey with promptitude.
mdp.39015063947108	What security have we against your cutting their throats tonight? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	What sort of a jack- anapes do you take me for?
mdp.39015063947108	What sort of a voice had he? ”!
mdp.39015063947108	What sort of an answer do you expect me to make, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063947108	What would she have done, I wonder, if she had been taken at her word?
mdp.39015063947108	What's that?- what's that?"
mdp.39015063947108	What's that?- what's that?"
mdp.39015063947108	What's the devoted creature's name? ” “ I do n't know what her surname is.
mdp.39015063947108	What's the matter with her?
mdp.39015063947108	What's the pleasure of it?
mdp.39015063947108	What? ” “ We all feel that you may be depended upon to do something, Gresham, ” said Mr. Cotton gravely.
mdp.39015063947108	When are the others going to turn up?"
mdp.39015063947108	When they discover that there is to be no marriage between Geoffrey and Sylvia, wo n't they fall upon me with greater fury than ever? ”!
mdp.39015063947108	Who gave it to you? ” Sammy again protested his inability to answer the question.
mdp.39015063947108	Who is Francesca? ” “ You keep forgetting that you are n't to ask me questions.
mdp.39015063947108	Who is at the bottom of them?
mdp.39015063947108	Who is likely to derive profit or pleasure out of it?
mdp.39015063947108	Who is playing these pranks upon her?-and why? ” PUZZLED AUTHORITIES 87 “ I only wish I knew! ” answered Geoffrey.
mdp.39015063947108	Who is playing these pranks upon her?-and why? ” PUZZLED AUTHORITIES 87 “ I only wish I knew! ” answered Geoffrey.
mdp.39015063947108	Who sent you with that note? ”"Please, sir, I dunno, sir. ” “ Come, come, do n't tell me that!
mdp.39015063947108	Why does his son go up to London?
mdp.39015063947108	Why had it to be given? ” “ Because I was n't allowed to go until he gave it, and it was reasonable enough under the circum- stances.
mdp.39015063947108	Why should you? ” “ Oh, only because I ca n't help it, ” answered Mrs. Lynden, laughing a little.
mdp.39015063947108	Why the deuce should n't he- why the deuce could n't he- fall in love with her?
mdp.39015063947108	Will that do? ” Upon the whole, Harry thought that that would probably do.
mdp.39015063947108	Will you miss me at all, I wonder? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	Would it be allowable for Sylvia to go without me, do you think? ” “ Rather! ” answered Geoffrey, with alacrity.
mdp.39015063947108	Would you like me to send him one? ” “ Certainly not, ” Dorothy replied, getting up and preparing to leave the room.
mdp.39015063947108	You acted upon somebody's orders, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063947108	You have n't behaved well to the man either. ” “ To Giuseppe?"
mdp.39015063947108	You have the right to accept danger for yourself, yes; but for the young lady — how is it possible?"
mdp.39015063947108	You mean, what does the young girl want with you?
mdp.39015063947108	You would n't have written that note, then, if you had known what it meant?''
mdp.39015063947108	Your father, she is persuaded, would consent to come and see her if he was told that she is dying. ” “ But she is n't dying, is she?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Ah, Cotton, ” he called out, “ how are you?- how are you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Ah, Cotton, ” he called out, “ how are you?- how are you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ And the daughter — the girl whom you're going to marry? ” Geoffrey repudiated the assertion with much warmth.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Another anonymous one? ” asked the girl cheerfully.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Any reason why it should be spoilt? ” Lady Gresham wanted to know.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Are n't you making rather sure of Miss Lyn- den? ” “ To tell you the truth, I am sure of her.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Are those the famous anony- mous letters?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Are you absolutely firstrate? ” “ Oh dear, no!"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Be- ginning to attack us now, are they?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Blind- folded him, did they?
mdp.39015063947108	“ But are n't you going to take me to Enfield? ” asked Dorothy.
mdp.39015063947108	“ But would you have been against my marrying Miss Rowe?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Ca n't there be peace? ” Sylvia pleaded.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Did I, miss?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Do n't you see that she just fits in and balances Mr. Marsh?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Do n't you think he might show just a little common compassion?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Has it frightened you? ” “ Well, I'm not very timid.
mdp.39015063947108	“ How can you suggest such things?
mdp.39015063947108	“ How could I help it? ” asked Geoffrey.
mdp.39015063947108	“ How do you do, Mr. Marsh? ” said she.
mdp.39015063947108	“ How do you mean? ” asked Geoffrey.
mdp.39015063947108	“ How do you mean?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ How much do you want? ” she asked.
mdp.39015063947108	“ How much longer are you going to hold on to property which does not belong to you or your family?
mdp.39015063947108	“ How the doose was I to go on when my own witness left me in the lurch?
mdp.39015063947108	“ I hope, ” he added, “ you do n't think her seriously ill? ” The doctor smiled.
mdp.39015063947108	“ I've been neglecting them shamefully of late, though it has n't been my fault. ” “ Going to begin cultivating them again now?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ In fact, I do n't think I suggested that she had done any of them, did I?
mdp.39015063947108	“ My compatriots have been molesting the Sig- nora, sir?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Not an accident?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Nothing more?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oh no; what should he know about them?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oh yes; did n't he tell you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oh, but, dear child, why should you say that? ” “ Because we do n't either of us wish it, ” answered Sylvia uncompromisingly.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oh, did you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oh, you've got as far as calling her by her Christian name, have you? ” “ We've taken to calling one another by our Christian names lately.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oh, ” she exclaimed on a sudden, “ what am I to do without a hot- water bottle?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Oho!-at Tranton, is he?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Only I ca n't propose to him, and I ca n't make him propose to me, can I? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Quite sure you ever had one? ” asked Harry.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Shall I let him know that you think so?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Should I have been consulted?
mdp.39015063947108	“ So that's the way the wind blows, is it? ” said he.
mdp.39015063947108	“ So they've enlisted you into their service, have they? ” Sammy darted to the Rector's side and clutched the hand extended to him.
mdp.39015063947108	“ That will be rather a disappointment for Mrs. Lynden, wo n't it?
mdp.39015063947108	“ That's hardly the point, is it?
mdp.39015063947108	“ The gover- nor?
mdp.39015063947108	“ We must have patience and trust to time, I think. ”"And while we are patiently trusting, my martyrdom is to continue? ” “ Oh, I hope not."
mdp.39015063947108	“ We were n't brilliantly successful as far as we got, were we?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Well, I suppose you think that's what I ought to do. ” “ You're a bit behind time, are n't you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Well, Mr. Cotton,"said he, “ have you and the governor been discussing the situation? ”.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Well, could n't you find out something about them?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Well, really, Isabella, I should n't have ex- pected you to approve of such calculating — what shall I call it?-cynicism.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Well, this is a nice business about Dorothy, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Well?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ What about your expert?
mdp.39015063947108	“ What are his special qualifications? ” Mr. Alder inquired.
mdp.39015063947108	“ What can have happened to mother?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ What do you say, Isabella, what do you say?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ What has happened?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ What have they been doing to you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ What is it, mother dear? ” Sylvia asked, dropping on her knees beside the trembling little lady's chair.
mdp.39015063947108	“ What is the meaning of this? ” gasped Dorothy, too angry to be frightened.
mdp.39015063947108	“ What would be the use?
mdp.39015063947108	“ What?-what?
mdp.39015063947108	“ What?-what?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Where does one meet the gentleman?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Where does the telegram come from? ” asked Geoffrey.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who are you?- and how dare you behave in such an extraordinary way?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who are you?- and how dare you behave in such an extraordinary way?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who does? — the expert?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who does? — the expert?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who has been writing anonymous letters to Mrs. Lynden?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who is Lucia? ” he made haste to inquire.
mdp.39015063947108	“ Who was?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Why not?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Why?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Would it, ” she inquired, “ relieve your con- science to know that, if you had n't taken pity upon us, I should have been playing patience?
mdp.39015063947108	“ Would you like me to tell you what I think of your father?"
mdp.39015063947108	“ You did n't think there was anything more, did you?
mdp.39015063947108	“ You do n't really think that anything has hap- pened to Geoffrey, do you? ” she asked.
mdp.39015063947108	“ You simply cut the ground from under my feet-cut the ground from under my feet; what? ” he remonstrated.
mdp.39015063947108	“ You too? ” asked Lady Gresham.
mdp.39015063947108	“ You were one of the first to suggest it. ” “ Was I?
mdp.39015063947108	“ You will have to be very careful, Gresham. ” “ Careful? ” roared Sir Augustus.
mdp.39015063947108	“ You would know what they do to me? ” She drew her forefinger across her throat and made a noise like the tearing of linen.
mdp.39015063947108	“ You're really fond of the lady, are n't you? ”.
mdp.39015055373388	What gave you that idea?"
mdp.39015055373388	A bundle, eh? mdp.39015055373388 A cab for those few yards?"
mdp.39015055373388	A second?
mdp.39015055373388	About what?
mdp.39015055373388	After his threats of the day before? mdp.39015055373388 All right, where are we?
mdp.39015055373388	Alone?
mdp.39015055373388	And Stromberg?
mdp.39015055373388	And at ten?
mdp.39015055373388	And found nothing?
mdp.39015055373388	And how about opportunity? mdp.39015055373388 And if I let you in on the inside — let you muddle around — you'll give me all the low- down you know?"
mdp.39015055373388	And is she going to look terrible at this hour of the morning?
mdp.39015055373388	And of what am I suspected?
mdp.39015055373388	And that was right after your husband's trip to Europe?
mdp.39015055373388	And then the watch would have been five min- utes wrong — most are — and where would we have been?
mdp.39015055373388	And what did you do while he was out?
mdp.39015055373388	And when did you return?
mdp.39015055373388	And you have to report at the hall before the concert begins, no matter how late in the program you perform? mdp.39015055373388 And you use metal cymbals, do n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	Any of you know him?
mdp.39015055373388	Any of you on duty here last night when the gun was fired?
mdp.39015055373388	Any suggestions to make?
mdp.39015055373388	Anyone else on your list of suspicious char- acters?
mdp.39015055373388	Anything new?
mdp.39015055373388	Anything new?
mdp.39015055373388	Are n't you playing truant?
mdp.39015055373388	Are n't you —?
mdp.39015055373388	Are you certain?
mdp.39015055373388	Are you certain?
mdp.39015055373388	Are you going batty? mdp.39015055373388 Are you sure that's all?"
mdp.39015055373388	Ask him?
mdp.39015055373388	At ten o'clock?
mdp.39015055373388	At whom?
mdp.39015055373388	Banks? mdp.39015055373388 Bastion disappeared?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bastion had fired it?
mdp.39015055373388	Believe it?
mdp.39015055373388	But do n't you know what he was trying to look at?
mdp.39015055373388	But first — may I have my hand back?
mdp.39015055373388	But how did the murderer know this gun would be pointing at his victim? mdp.39015055373388 But look,"ejaculated Craig,"if he'd taken up with this Kasper woman, what was his idea in trying to renew his affair with Stromberg's wife?"
mdp.39015055373388	But then, would n't she be more likely to call her brother's name, if that was the case? mdp.39015055373388 But what,"Douglas insisted,"could he have wanted a twenty- two for?
mdp.39015055373388	But when you saw Bastion coming to your apart- ment, the day you arrived in town, you thought it was being renewed, did n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	By the way, why did you open that window in the dressing room Tuesday night?
mdp.39015055373388	By the way,Douglas asked Mrs. Paulson,"what newsstand would that be?"
mdp.39015055373388	CASH113"Yes darling?"
mdp.39015055373388	Ca n't you be more definite?
mdp.39015055373388	Call what?
mdp.39015055373388	Calling out? mdp.39015055373388 Can I move him?
mdp.39015055373388	Can you figure any business reason for Bastion writing her checks?
mdp.39015055373388	Can you prove that?
mdp.39015055373388	Can you suggest any reason for this crime — any enemies? mdp.39015055373388 Christ,"grumbled Craig, good- humoredly;"you're quite the boy- detective, are n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	Could any of you in the Peters'box see Bas- tion?
mdp.39015055373388	Could it have been suicide?
mdp.39015055373388	Did Bastion tell your husband?
mdp.39015055373388	Did Small usually carry a gun?
mdp.39015055373388	Did anyone else talk to him?
mdp.39015055373388	Did anyone see him leave?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he come back with the paper that night?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he come right back?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he deal only on margin?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he often go out that late for a paper?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he say what he wanted to see you about?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he what?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he?
mdp.39015055373388	Did he?
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't you ask her why your husband had gotten in touch with her again?
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't you see anyone come out later?
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't your husband know that Bastion and you —?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you agree to see him?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you believe her?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you both stay here, then?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you bring that twenty- two?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you hear anything when that shot went off?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you hear the police arrive?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you hear the shot?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you know that Bastion was in the box in front of you?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you know what seat he had?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you look for your husband?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you look to see if the window's locked?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you see Bastion the night of the concert?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you see Bastion then?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you see Mrs. Bastion then?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you see him then?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you stay here then for the rest of the night?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you wait for him after the concert?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you?
mdp.39015055373388	Did your wife know him?
mdp.39015055373388	Did — er — Walter go with you?
mdp.39015055373388	Do n't pick me up on every word — it's out- rageous of you to — it's damnable —"What was on the radio last night?
mdp.39015055373388	Do n't you find talking to me a bit embarrassing?
mdp.39015055373388	Do n't you know you were seen climbing in that window?
mdp.39015055373388	Do n't you know?
mdp.39015055373388	Do n't you miss your work on the Transcript? mdp.39015055373388 Do you come to the concert often, Mr. Bow- man?"
mdp.39015055373388	Do you know if he was insured?
mdp.39015055373388	Do you like the St. Louis Blues?
mdp.39015055373388	Do you mean to imply —?
mdp.39015055373388	Do you remember whether it was a man's shoe or a woman's?
mdp.39015055373388	Do you test them every night?
mdp.39015055373388	Do you? mdp.39015055373388 Douglas, can you stay with us?"
mdp.39015055373388	Eh?
mdp.39015055373388	Eh?
mdp.39015055373388	Eh?
mdp.39015055373388	Embarrassing?
mdp.39015055373388	Enemies, eh?
mdp.39015055373388	Entirely?
mdp.39015055373388	Ever hear of him?
mdp.39015055373388	Ever hear the name Small?
mdp.39015055373388	Exactly — that's what you did last night, is n't it?
mdp.39015055373388	Feel innocent enough to let us search this place?
mdp.39015055373388	First, what happened here last night?
mdp.39015055373388	Five- thirty, huh? mdp.39015055373388 For me?"
mdp.39015055373388	From whom?
mdp.39015055373388	Gloves?
mdp.39015055373388	Good Lord, why? mdp.39015055373388 Good Lord, you're certainly the trusting little fellow, are n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	Good, now what other clues were there?
mdp.39015055373388	Got enough towels?
mdp.39015055373388	Had you ever met him before?
mdp.39015055373388	Happen to look through this window?
mdp.39015055373388	Happen to see Bastion enter that hotel?
mdp.39015055373388	Have I told you, darling, how beautiful you look this morning?
mdp.39015055373388	Have you any sort of a picture of your brother? mdp.39015055373388 He has n't arrested the wrong person already, has he?"
mdp.39015055373388	He what? mdp.39015055373388 He's the conductor, is n't he?
mdp.39015055373388	Heard her call?
mdp.39015055373388	Hello, Professor Monkell? mdp.39015055373388 His lips were moving?
mdp.39015055373388	How about Evers?
mdp.39015055373388	How about Small?
mdp.39015055373388	How about checking up with Mrs. Bastion on the little point we were discussing?
mdp.39015055373388	How about that business when you caught him looking at the double doors? mdp.39015055373388 How about windows?"
mdp.39015055373388	How are you doing?
mdp.39015055373388	How are you going to find out? mdp.39015055373388 How big,"he asked McCready,"would a dead body have to be before you could see it?"
mdp.39015055373388	How could they see him? mdp.39015055373388 How could you possibly know that, if you never left your room?"
mdp.39015055373388	How did you know you would find your sister there?
mdp.39015055373388	How do I know you ai n't a burglar?
mdp.39015055373388	How do you know?
mdp.39015055373388	How is it neither of you went backstage?
mdp.39015055373388	How is the case progressing?
mdp.39015055373388	How long have you known him?
mdp.39015055373388	How many more?
mdp.39015055373388	How many of you saw him there last night?
mdp.39015055373388	How should I know? mdp.39015055373388 How should I know?"
mdp.39015055373388	How should I know?
mdp.39015055373388	How should I know?
mdp.39015055373388	How would I know? mdp.39015055373388 How?
mdp.39015055373388	How?
mdp.39015055373388	How?
mdp.39015055373388	How?
mdp.39015055373388	Huh? mdp.39015055373388 Huh?"
mdp.39015055373388	I did n't know where he was, and there Was such a crowd —"Did n't you think it strange that he did n't look for you?
mdp.39015055373388	I do n't believe so, why?
mdp.39015055373388	I do n't suppose the wrap has still —?
mdp.39015055373388	I should n't tell you until I'm certain — but — promise to forget it?
mdp.39015055373388	I suppose you're still going to deny that we have n't got the low- down on the whole thing?
mdp.39015055373388	I think we'll pay Mrs. Bastion a call,Craig answered, calling out the West Seventy- Eighth 190 ALIBIS?
mdp.39015055373388	I think you said yesterday that, after your broad- cast Tuesday night, you came right home?
mdp.39015055373388	I thought he might like to hear it and I did n't want —"Did n't you think it disrespectful to the memory of your husband to be playing it?
mdp.39015055373388	I wonder if you would do me a very great favor?
mdp.39015055373388	I? mdp.39015055373388 If she saw it Tuesday night, I'm sure she'd have told us about it yesterday, so where else could she have seen it?"
mdp.39015055373388	In other words,said Douglas,"without being seen, eh?
mdp.39015055373388	In what status were his dealings with you at the time of his death?
mdp.39015055373388	In what? mdp.39015055373388 Is everyone out of the boxes?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is it all right if I smoke?
mdp.39015055373388	Is it necessary to remind you that in the course of an evening there are occasions when one retires pri- vately? mdp.39015055373388 Is n't what dear?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is that clock right?
mdp.39015055373388	Is that the Peters who has a box behind the Bowmans?
mdp.39015055373388	Is this the way you were sitting when the shot went off?
mdp.39015055373388	Is your apartment in front?
mdp.39015055373388	It occurred just before you joined the Mid- West Symphony Orchestra, did n't it?
mdp.39015055373388	Just how did he threaten you?
mdp.39015055373388	Just to listen — to that?
mdp.39015055373388	Just what is the meaning of this?
mdp.39015055373388	Just what,countered Douglas,"do you want to know?"
mdp.39015055373388	Just when did the shot go off?
mdp.39015055373388	Know anything about the stuff in the property room here?
mdp.39015055373388	Know him?
mdp.39015055373388	Know this man?
mdp.39015055373388	Know what he said?
mdp.39015055373388	Know why we're here?
mdp.39015055373388	Listen, this guy's putting up a pretty strong front — are you sure?
mdp.39015055373388	Loescher? mdp.39015055373388 Madame Stromberg was out there with your sis- ter, eh?"
mdp.39015055373388	May I ask what for?
mdp.39015055373388	May I join you? mdp.39015055373388 May I, Madame Stromberg?"
mdp.39015055373388	Maybe we have — but where?
mdp.39015055373388	Might have been shot from anywhere, huh?
mdp.39015055373388	Mr. Blair, can you not use some influence? mdp.39015055373388 Must this sort of thing happen?"
mdp.39015055373388	My wife? mdp.39015055373388 Naw, why should I?
mdp.39015055373388	Night?
mdp.39015055373388	Nine- twenty- three? mdp.39015055373388 No?
mdp.39015055373388	No? mdp.39015055373388 No?"
mdp.39015055373388	Now then, can you answer this? mdp.39015055373388 Now then, where did the shot come from?"
mdp.39015055373388	Now then,Craig turned back to Evers,"after you told the usher to get a policeman, what did you do?"
mdp.39015055373388	Now, do you remember calling out anything?
mdp.39015055373388	Oh Wilfred, ca n't you appreciate subtlety?
mdp.39015055373388	Oh has he? mdp.39015055373388 Oh yeah?"
mdp.39015055373388	Oh yeah?
mdp.39015055373388	Oh you did? mdp.39015055373388 Oh — oh, is it?
mdp.39015055373388	Oh, by the way, you wo n't mind Mr. Blair's presence? mdp.39015055373388 Oh, what the hell is the difference whether or not he often went out for a newspaper?
mdp.39015055373388	Okay, but how are you going to find out where the owner of the store lives?
mdp.39015055373388	On a Bible?
mdp.39015055373388	On an Old Testament?
mdp.39015055373388	On duty last night?
mdp.39015055373388	On glass? mdp.39015055373388 On your new wrap?
mdp.39015055373388	Over what?
mdp.39015055373388	Owed it to you?
mdp.39015055373388	Package? mdp.39015055373388 Paris first, or London?"
mdp.39015055373388	Perhaps, Mrs. Bastion, you thought for just a moment that your husband had shot someone?
mdp.39015055373388	Playing the detective? mdp.39015055373388 Prove it?
mdp.39015055373388	Red? mdp.39015055373388 Red?"
mdp.39015055373388	Right now?
mdp.39015055373388	Sam Feldstein?
mdp.39015055373388	Say what is this?
mdp.39015055373388	Say, do you know,he hurried on,"anything about Caldwell, Black and Peters?"
mdp.39015055373388	Say, what time are those intermissions and how long do they last?
mdp.39015055373388	Search it for what?
mdp.39015055373388	See Red Small lately?
mdp.39015055373388	Sensitive?
mdp.39015055373388	Sidney Bastion?
mdp.39015055373388	Small never had a chance to use his gun, did he? mdp.39015055373388 Smoke?"
mdp.39015055373388	So they might have been anywhere?
mdp.39015055373388	So what?
mdp.39015055373388	Somebody told you Red come home with a pack- age last night, huh? mdp.39015055373388 Suppose I told you that Bastion saw you — and mentioned seeing you?"
mdp.39015055373388	Suppose a man came in here around midnight and stole some of that stuff, how would you explain that?
mdp.39015055373388	Suppose you wanted to leave your bedroom with- out being seen by anyone in here — I mean leave your bedroom and go out of the apartment?
mdp.39015055373388	Sure, but who'd do that? mdp.39015055373388 Tell me, are there many critics out front to- night?"
mdp.39015055373388	Tell me, how is the case progressing?
mdp.39015055373388	Thanks, now Mrs. Bastion, are you ready?
mdp.39015055373388	That does n't matter — you ca n't prove that he did n't do that, can you?
mdp.39015055373388	That package, you mean?
mdp.39015055373388	That theory again?
mdp.39015055373388	That window?
mdp.39015055373388	That's right, Miss Bowman, you told me that this morning, did n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	The conductor?
mdp.39015055373388	The murderer had to climb in there after the concert, get the body and plant it in the box, did n't he?
mdp.39015055373388	The one in which you opened the window?
mdp.39015055373388	The'others'were your parents, I presume?
mdp.39015055373388	Then as a matter of fact you do n't know whether your wife was here the whole time you were gone?
mdp.39015055373388	Then what are you doing here?
mdp.39015055373388	Then why did n't you suggest she did it?
mdp.39015055373388	Then why did you say he'kept'it on? mdp.39015055373388 Then you believed his story?"
mdp.39015055373388	Then you do know him?
mdp.39015055373388	Then your brother went out?
mdp.39015055373388	There are some facing that alleyway, are n't there?
mdp.39015055373388	They could be unlocked, could n't they?
mdp.39015055373388	Think of anything yourself?
mdp.39015055373388	This person you thought you saw in the alley, was it a man or a woman?
mdp.39015055373388	Threatening?
mdp.39015055373388	Tuesday morning?
mdp.39015055373388	Unless what?
mdp.39015055373388	Was n't it unusual for them to rehearse twice in one day and then have a concert in the evening? mdp.39015055373388 Was that true?"
mdp.39015055373388	Was the door of the first one still closed?
mdp.39015055373388	Was the door open?
mdp.39015055373388	Was your husband helping anyone to get on the air?
mdp.39015055373388	Was your husband there all evening?
mdp.39015055373388	Was your husband there?
mdp.39015055373388	We've called on several other ladies this morn- ing, have n't we, Craig?
mdp.39015055373388	Well then?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, are you game?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, at the rehearsal —"What rehearsal?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, did n't you think that maybe it went off at somebody?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, for Christ's — Say, what the hell do you think you're trying to do?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, how do you account for what happened? mdp.39015055373388 Well, now,"she wondered feebly,"what do you want?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, that brings us back to the other point: how did Bastion happen to be parked in the Bow- man box?
mdp.39015055373388	Well, then maybe you can tell me — I was just listening to that and I'll be damned if I can — is that music good?
mdp.39015055373388	Well,asked Craig threateningly,"have n't you anything to say?"
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Well?
mdp.39015055373388	Were any here tonight?
mdp.39015055373388	Were any here tonight?
mdp.39015055373388	Were n't you surprised when he did n't return home last night?
mdp.39015055373388	Were there any in this case?
mdp.39015055373388	Were they cordial to each other?
mdp.39015055373388	Were you at the rehearsal on Tuesday?
mdp.39015055373388	Were you discussing Muckman?
mdp.39015055373388	Were you home all the rest of the evening?
mdp.39015055373388	Were you up here about four on Monday after- noon?
mdp.39015055373388	Were you with anyone?
mdp.39015055373388	Were you? mdp.39015055373388 Were you?"
mdp.39015055373388	What about her?
mdp.39015055373388	What about?
mdp.39015055373388	What are you doing tonight?
mdp.39015055373388	What can I tell you?
mdp.39015055373388	What did Bastion say?
mdp.39015055373388	What did Bastion want?
mdp.39015055373388	What did he tell you?
mdp.39015055373388	What did she say?
mdp.39015055373388	What did you do when you heard it?
mdp.39015055373388	What did you do?
mdp.39015055373388	What did you say?
mdp.39015055373388	What did you think had happened?
mdp.39015055373388	What do you know about all this?
mdp.39015055373388	What do you mean'if he surprises'?
mdp.39015055373388	What do you mean'stared'? mdp.39015055373388 What do you mean?
mdp.39015055373388	What do you think I swear on — a telephone book?
mdp.39015055373388	What do you think of him?
mdp.39015055373388	What dressing room?
mdp.39015055373388	What happened to that policeman, anyhow?
mdp.39015055373388	What have you got?
mdp.39015055373388	What if it is?
mdp.39015055373388	What if they were? mdp.39015055373388 What made you go there?"
mdp.39015055373388	What made you think Bastion was in trouble?
mdp.39015055373388	What murder?
mdp.39015055373388	What of it?
mdp.39015055373388	What of it?
mdp.39015055373388	What premonitions?
mdp.39015055373388	What sort of gang was this fellow mixed up in?
mdp.39015055373388	What sort of suggestions?
mdp.39015055373388	What the hell for?
mdp.39015055373388	What things?
mdp.39015055373388	What time was that?
mdp.39015055373388	What time were you in that dressing room Tues- day night?
mdp.39015055373388	What was that?
mdp.39015055373388	What was the matter?
mdp.39015055373388	What was your first mental reaction?
mdp.39015055373388	What were you going to say about'only last night'?
mdp.39015055373388	What were you saying?
mdp.39015055373388	What window? mdp.39015055373388 What would it have to do with your case against Hart- son?"
mdp.39015055373388	What would you have done about it?
mdp.39015055373388	What — you mean? mdp.39015055373388 What's he do?"
mdp.39015055373388	What's next?
mdp.39015055373388	What's that?
mdp.39015055373388	What's that?
mdp.39015055373388	What's the connection?
mdp.39015055373388	What's the difference?
mdp.39015055373388	What's the idea?
mdp.39015055373388	What's the joke?
mdp.39015055373388	What's this supposed to be?
mdp.39015055373388	What's up?
mdp.39015055373388	What's wrong?
mdp.39015055373388	What,asked Douglas,"did you mean when you asked if it checked with anything else?"
mdp.39015055373388	What?
mdp.39015055373388	What?
mdp.39015055373388	Whatsa matter?
mdp.39015055373388	When did he die?
mdp.39015055373388	When was that? mdp.39015055373388 When was that?"
mdp.39015055373388	When you heard the shot you say you ran out of the Green Room? mdp.39015055373388 When your husband did n't come home, did n't it occur to you to connect him with the shot?"

mdp.39015055373388	Whoa, nearly slipped that time, did n't you? mdp.39015055373388 Whose prayers?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why are you glad to hear that?
mdp.39015055373388	Why did n't you ask him to turn it off?
mdp.39015055373388	Why did n't you change to another box?
mdp.39015055373388	Why did n't you want to see him?
mdp.39015055373388	Why do n't you hate me then?
mdp.39015055373388	Why do you want to see my brother?
mdp.39015055373388	Why is Bastion's chair so far over in the cor- ner?
mdp.39015055373388	Why is it you received checks from him?
mdp.39015055373388	Why not phone him?

mdp.39015055373388	Why not?
mdp.39015055373388	Why so cryptic? mdp.39015055373388 Why that dressing room?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why the command to meet you here, Arthur? mdp.39015055373388 Why the hell,"asked Craig, as they climbed into his car,"did n't you think of that before, when we were talking to him?
mdp.39015055373388	Why was n't he so keen about sitting so close to the orchestra? mdp.39015055373388 Why were the first two chairs in your box left vacant,"he asked Mr. Peters,"until Mrs. Strom- berg took one of them?
mdp.39015055373388	Why were you so sure it was a shot? mdp.39015055373388 Why — why should n't I know it?
mdp.39015055373388	Why,Craig wanted to know,"did n't they re- hearse once Monday and once yesterday?
mdp.39015055373388	Why? mdp.39015055373388 Why?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Why?
mdp.39015055373388	Wilfred, what was it, what was it?
mdp.39015055373388	With Douglas? mdp.39015055373388 Worried?"
mdp.39015055373388	Would n't be much of a trick for you to climb in a first- floor window?
mdp.39015055373388	Would you allow us to go through your husband's papers? mdp.39015055373388 Would you go on a witness stand and swear to it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Would you mind, dear,he called to his wife,"putting on a wrap of some sort?
mdp.39015055373388	Would you say that Stromberg was civil to him?
mdp.39015055373388	Would you say that was dandruff?
mdp.39015055373388	Yeah? mdp.39015055373388 Yes sir?"
mdp.39015055373388	Yes, Inspector?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes, but what —?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes, where were you then?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes, why?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes?
mdp.39015055373388	You and he were n't friendly, eh?
mdp.39015055373388	You could have slipped out for five or ten minutes easily enough, could n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	You did n't go out around midnight — perhaps a little before?
mdp.39015055373388	You did n't quarrel, did you?
mdp.39015055373388	You do n't think anything has happened to him, do you?
mdp.39015055373388	You do, do you? mdp.39015055373388 You figure a lot, do n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You hated him, did n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	You know him then?
mdp.39015055373388	You know me pretty well, do n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	You know, of course, the purpose of this investi- gation?
mdp.39015055373388	You looked carefully in all the boxes?
mdp.39015055373388	You looked — where?
mdp.39015055373388	You mean get to Arthur Hartson and get his ver- sion of the fire- escape interview before Mrs. Bastion has a chance to prompt?
mdp.39015055373388	You mean when they had the cops in at the Auditorium?
mdp.39015055373388	You met no one you knew along the way?
mdp.39015055373388	You never thought that maybe the body was under that curtain?
mdp.39015055373388	You really do n't have anything definite yet?
mdp.39015055373388	You said you were in the Green Room when you heard the shot?
mdp.39015055373388	You spoke to Bastion last night?
mdp.39015055373388	You talked with her?
mdp.39015055373388	You think I did it?
mdp.39015055373388	You were Bastion's broker?
mdp.39015055373388	You were at the opera last night?
mdp.39015055373388	You were n't going into that box were you?
mdp.39015055373388	You'd forgiven her because she told you the affair was over, had n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	You'd swear that it was the same gun? mdp.39015055373388 You're telling me?"
mdp.39015055373388	You're the house manager?
mdp.39015055373388	Your night relief was the first man in here, was n't he?
mdp.39015055373388	'The woman who stole him away,'eh?"
mdp.39015055373388	12 MURDER TO MUSIC"Muckman eh?

mdp.39015055373388	32 MURDER TO MUSIC"Do n't you know any jazz?"
mdp.39015055373388	48 MURDER TO MUSIC"This where the shot came from?"
mdp.39015055373388	56 MURDER TO MUSIC"Will I?"
mdp.39015055373388	9o MURDER TO MUSIC"Did you fire that shot?"
mdp.39015055373388	< fWhat have you been doing, dear?
mdp.39015055373388	A woman had fainted and —""All right, all right; but what about this shot?"
mdp.39015055373388	A"Here?
mdp.39015055373388	ALIBIS?
mdp.39015055373388	And anyhow, why should n't the two men talk?
mdp.39015055373388	And did you notice the way he was hanging around Mrs. Bastion this morn- ing?
mdp.39015055373388	And do you know where we found the body this morning?"
mdp.39015055373388	And had it been the fatal shot that had been heard?
mdp.39015055373388	And if I knew, why would n't I tell you?"
mdp.39015055373388	And if that were the case, why would he make the checks payable to cash?"
mdp.39015055373388	And you think I give it to him?"
mdp.39015055373388	And you were Jtlone all evening?"
mdp.39015055373388	And you?
mdp.39015055373388	Are n't you going to check up on him?"
mdp.39015055373388	Are we getting places?"
mdp.39015055373388	Are you certain?
mdp.39015055373388	Are you going to faint?"
mdp.39015055373388	Are you ready for the Concerto?"
mdp.39015055373388	Are you sure of that?"
mdp.39015055373388	Are you sure of that?"
mdp.39015055373388	Are you sure that's the one you gave him?"
mdp.39015055373388	At what — if you do n't mind telling me?"
mdp.39015055373388	BODY 47"Where's a phone?"
mdp.39015055373388	BODY 59"Well, how do you know they were in the house during the first half?"
mdp.39015055373388	BOOKIE 163"Where's he live?"
mdp.39015055373388	BOXES 105"Yes, what about it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	Before you see it or hear more about it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bowman, I believe?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bowman?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bowman?"
mdp.39015055373388	Bowman?"
mdp.39015055373388	Boy, would n't I like to go home for a shave and a shower?
mdp.39015055373388	But how to do it?
mdp.39015055373388	But suppose you do tell her that's what you believe; then what?"
mdp.39015055373388	CHAPTER XVI Alibis?
mdp.39015055373388	Can you name them?"
mdp.39015055373388	Colt, eh?
mdp.39015055373388	Could a body roll under a drape?
mdp.39015055373388	Craig paused for a moment, then he asked:"What did you mean near the end your relations were not so amicable?
mdp.39015055373388	Craig went on:"Those rumors were true, were n't they?"
mdp.39015055373388	Craig, who had been listening carefully, broke in:"Do you remember calling out anything in your ex- citement as you ran forward?
mdp.39015055373388	Craig?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did Mr. Bastion seem worried; had he referred to any unusual incident?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did he enter it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't Miss Bowman come in with you?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't you notice the way his lips were moving when the officer was pushing him out?
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't you think that it might have been some other sort of noise?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did she know that you knew?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did those gadgets have anything to do with Walter's death?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you get it cleaned?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did you get that bullet from the Medical Examiner, the one in the Civic Auditorium killing?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you run out immediately you heard the shot?"
mdp.39015055373388	Did you see him Wilfred?
mdp.39015055373388	Did you see him or were you so busy watching your score —""What?"
mdp.39015055373388	Do n't you think it may be impor- tant?"
mdp.39015055373388	Do they record the time of incoming calls?"
mdp.39015055373388	Do you feel quite fit?"
mdp.39015055373388	Do you think that, if her calling'Sidney'really meant anything, she's going to tell us about it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Do you think you can remember every- thing you did last night when the shot went off?"
mdp.39015055373388	Does it check with anything else?
mdp.39015055373388	Does- that mean you suspect one of the men — Hartson, Stromberg, Loescher, Evers?"
mdp.39015055373388	Douglas, frowning thought- fully, asked him:"Do you think you learned anything from Feld- stein?"
mdp.39015055373388	EAR- WITNESSES 133"Miss Post, how about you?
mdp.39015055373388	EXPERIMENT 93"What would you like to know?"
mdp.39015055373388	Ever been there?"
mdp.39015055373388	Ever go down to Fifth Avenue and Thirty- Fourth Street?
mdp.39015055373388	Every- ALIBIS?
mdp.39015055373388	Finally he asked:"Last night — where were you?"
mdp.39015055373388	Finally the Lieutenant asked sus- piciously:"What are you staying here for?"
mdp.39015055373388	For your paper?"
mdp.39015055373388	From another room came a muffled"Yes?"
mdp.39015055373388	Funny, I thought — I see — er —""Bit confusing at times, are n't they?"
mdp.39015055373388	GUNSHOT 43"You have n't seen Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	Got it?
mdp.39015055373388	Got that?
mdp.39015055373388	HEADQUARTERS 123 arrival in New York?"
mdp.39015055373388	Had n't the police found his murderer yet?
mdp.39015055373388	Has n't he got a phone?"
mdp.39015055373388	Has this box been cleaned this morning?"
mdp.39015055373388	He went to the door and called,"Did the traffic cop who was first in here last night come in yet?"
mdp.39015055373388	Hello darling, what are you doing up at this hour of the morning?
mdp.39015055373388	How are you enjoying your retirement?
mdp.39015055373388	How big do they have 82 MURDER TO MUSIC to be for you?
mdp.39015055373388	How can they be?
mdp.39015055373388	How could I?
mdp.39015055373388	How could you expect me to remem- ber anything?"
mdp.39015055373388	How did Bastion come to be sit- ting in the Bowman box?"
mdp.39015055373388	How do you know you saw him around ten last night?"
mdp.39015055373388	How do you know?"
mdp.39015055373388	How in hell they see anyone in the wings?
mdp.39015055373388	How would they?
mdp.39015055373388	How'd you know that?"
mdp.39015055373388	I believe it's the proper routine, is n't it?"
mdp.39015055373388	I know you're investigating Mr. Bastion's death, but what has that to —""I asked you if you could prove that?"
mdp.39015055373388	I mentioned it several times, did n't I, Wilfred?"
mdp.39015055373388	I was enjoying the concert and —""What in the world have you been doing, Doug?"
mdp.39015055373388	I'll fire it nicely into — what does it take to stop a.44 at a few yards?"
mdp.39015055373388	I've never been there, have you?"
mdp.39015055373388	I24 MURDER TO MUSIC"Did you speak to your husband in Bastion's be- half?"
mdp.39015055373388	If Small did n't buy it, where —?
mdp.39015055373388	If you're not guilty, what do you care what we'll find?
mdp.39015055373388	In a box on the right, someone fainted; in the dress circle, a pale, red haired girl, leaning far out, hysterically reiterated:"What is it?
mdp.39015055373388	In the first place, do you know anything EXPERIMENT 91 about what happened last night?"
mdp.39015055373388	In the meantime, wo n't you have a cigar?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is he in the audience now?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is n't that fair enough?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is that enough motive?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is that true?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is that what you want to know?"
mdp.39015055373388	Is this everyone who was in these boxes?"
mdp.39015055373388	It was close to you, was n't it?"
mdp.39015055373388	It's a reason for gettin'killed, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Like to listen in, or are your ears sensitive?"
mdp.39015055373388	Loescher?"
mdp.39015055373388	Me and my husband was listen- ing to the radio and —""Did you go out to see what was going on?"
mdp.39015055373388	Mr. Peters, would you mind remaining behind for just a minute?
mdp.39015055373388	Mrs. Stromberg coming toward the Peters'box from back- stage?"
mdp.39015055373388	No?
mdp.39015055373388	Now how about you?
mdp.39015055373388	Now, did any of you notice Mrs. Strom- berg just before the shot was fired?"
mdp.39015055373388	Once as they shot northward, Douglas asked Craig:"What's the idea of us going to see Feldstein?
mdp.39015055373388	Only last night —""Who is it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Only two people had really decent alibis for the moment of Bastion's killing — But what was the moment of Bastion's killing?
mdp.39015055373388	Orchestra rules?"
mdp.39015055373388	Paulson?"
mdp.39015055373388	Reading what?
mdp.39015055373388	Ready to make a night of it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Remem- ber Elinor?"
mdp.39015055373388	Say what is all this funny business about Small, anyhow?
mdp.39015055373388	Say, are you completely crazy?
mdp.39015055373388	Shall we go in now?"
mdp.39015055373388	Shall we leave directly after the Concerto?"
mdp.39015055373388	She asked what critics were here and —""Did she ask about Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	Six and a half?
mdp.39015055373388	Six feet?
mdp.39015055373388	Still, why should he bolt?"
mdp.39015055373388	Stromberg's name, or Loescher's, trying to identify one or the other as the person from whom he'd stolen a package?
mdp.39015055373388	Stromberg?"
mdp.39015055373388	Suppose this firm of his is n't on the level, would n't he fear exposure from Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	TIME 75"Did you enter the box?"
mdp.39015055373388	Tell me, do you know any mem- bers of the Mid- West Symphony orchestra?"
mdp.39015055373388	The In- spector's gaze said very plainly,"What do you think?"
mdp.39015055373388	The crowd Red Small was in — I guess it's about him bein'bumped off that you're askin'?"
mdp.39015055373388	The mast is giving before the wind, is n't it?
mdp.39015055373388	The policeman, completely at sea, started to answer; but, thinking better of it apparently, asked instead:"Who's in charge here?"
mdp.39015055373388	Then Craig asked,"Was the concert broadcast?"
mdp.39015055373388	Then he said,"Where did you walk to, do you re- member?"
mdp.39015055373388	Then this gun must have fired a dummy shot?"
mdp.39015055373388	Then what happened?"
mdp.39015055373388	Then, to Elinor:"You'll pardon me, wo n't you?
mdp.39015055373388	They were in town Monday, were n't they?
mdp.39015055373388	Think he fits in?"
mdp.39015055373388	Think you could see Camera if he stood very still and it was a clear night?
mdp.39015055373388	Think you know him?"
mdp.39015055373388	Thirty- eight?
mdp.39015055373388	This is Blair, Doug- las Blair — remember me?
mdp.39015055373388	Want to hear this theory of mine?"
mdp.39015055373388	Was he in trouble, did he have enemies?"
mdp.39015055373388	Was it not too bad about last night?
mdp.39015055373388	Was she here last night?"
mdp.39015055373388	Was this door,"Craig pointed to the door of the Green Room,"was this door open?"
mdp.39015055373388	Well, look here, Professor, I've got a practical problem in ele- mentary psychology and I thought that if I could — I may?
mdp.39015055373388	Were his relations with you amicable?"
mdp.39015055373388	Were there any footprints?"
mdp.39015055373388	What are you getting at?
mdp.39015055373388	What could one do with an alarm clock?
mdp.39015055373388	What did you think you were in here for last night?
mdp.39015055373388	What do they pay to get in here?"
mdp.39015055373388	What do you think he was looking at?"
mdp.39015055373388	What do you think?"
mdp.39015055373388	What has that to do with this?"
mdp.39015055373388	What in hell did Small steal from Bastion's murderer?
mdp.39015055373388	What is it?"
mdp.39015055373388	What made her think he had been shot?"
mdp.39015055373388	What of it?
mdp.39015055373388	What package?"
mdp.39015055373388	What the hell are you talking about?
mdp.39015055373388	What time did you get a call from the Civic Auditorium about a shot, last night?"
mdp.39015055373388	What time did you go out?"
mdp.39015055373388	What time?"
mdp.39015055373388	What was Bastion doing up here that morning anyhow?
mdp.39015055373388	What was Small looking at?
mdp.39015055373388	What was he afraid of?"
mdp.39015055373388	What was in it?"
mdp.39015055373388	What was it?
mdp.39015055373388	What was that play I once saw — once a newspaper man always a newspaper man?
mdp.39015055373388	What was the message?
mdp.39015055373388	What would I do that for?"
mdp.39015055373388	What would a bird like Small do if he got hold of informa- tion that led him to the identity of Bastion's mur- derer?"
mdp.39015055373388	What would he do?
mdp.39015055373388	What you got now?"
mdp.39015055373388	What's it all about?"
mdp.39015055373388	What's the sense of all the questions?
mdp.39015055373388	What's the use of my starting to tell you?
mdp.39015055373388	What?
mdp.39015055373388	When could she have seen it?
mdp.39015055373388	When did you last see him?"
mdp.39015055373388	Where are you going?"
mdp.39015055373388	Where could Stromberg be?
mdp.39015055373388	Where should he stand?"
mdp.39015055373388	Where were those other musicians who were n't playing?"
mdp.39015055373388	Where's Fear- son?
mdp.39015055373388	Where's that lead us?"
mdp.39015055373388	Where?"
mdp.39015055373388	While we're here, how about checking up on that seating arrangement?"
mdp.39015055373388	Who done it?
mdp.39015055373388	Who found him?"
mdp.39015055373388	Who killed the man in the Audi- 252 MURDER TO MUSIC member day before yesterday when I whispered a name to you at luncheon and you laughed at me?
mdp.39015055373388	Who runs it?"
mdp.39015055373388	Who saw you there?"
mdp.39015055373388	Who's in charge of this hall?"
mdp.39015055373388	Who's the guy that steals my twenty bucks?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why do n't you ask her?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why in the world do you ask?
mdp.39015055373388	Why not order him down to Headquarters?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why not?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why not?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why not?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why should I go givin'him packages?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why should I?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why should n't I think that?
mdp.39015055373388	Why should the murderer hang around here till midnight?
mdp.39015055373388	Why the hell pick on me?"
mdp.39015055373388	Why, yes, sure it will be all right?
mdp.39015055373388	Will you step out into the corridor a mo- ment?"
mdp.39015055373388	Would Bastion have hidden behind the drape?
mdp.39015055373388	Would you care to come to the Green Room and meet Stromberg?"
mdp.39015055373388	Yes, yes — against the beat, eh?
mdp.39015055373388	Yes?
mdp.39015055373388	You did n't see him then, did you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You did, did n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You did?
mdp.39015055373388	You do n't honestly believe that, do you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You knew Bastion?"
mdp.39015055373388	You knew there'd been a shooting, did n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You know how that happens?"
mdp.39015055373388	You know how velvet is?
mdp.39015055373388	You mean that, murdered?"
mdp.39015055373388	You passed the dressing room then, did n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You said he had one on him, did n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You take me for a nincompoop, hein?
mdp.39015055373388	You tap my wire?"
mdp.39015055373388	You thought what?"
mdp.39015055373388	You try to say I killed him?
mdp.39015055373388	You unlocked it from the inside, carried the body( lucky Bastion was a small man, was n't it?)
mdp.39015055373388	You want me to divorce him, do n't you Arthur?"
mdp.39015055373388	You're a newspaper man and you'll see to it, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You're a tympanist, are n't you?"
mdp.39015055373388	You've got what?
mdp.39015055373388	questioned Douglas, who was al- DRESSING ROOM 177"4260 Steinway Avenue, huh?
mdp.39015055373388	way down the west side of the Park for the second i, time when Craig turned again to Douglas and asked:"How about Evers?
mdp.39015055373388	•"You sat in the Peters'box during the Concerto?"
mdp.39015063947348	A Strange Man?
mdp.39015063947348	About who did it?
mdp.39015063947348	All? mdp.39015063947348 And Cockett?
mdp.39015063947348	And Monday?
mdp.39015063947348	And is the father living?
mdp.39015063947348	And naow, Dr. Crampton,—'oo in Crosby- Stourton knew of your tricky method of administering hyer- sine?
mdp.39015063947348	And now I wonder if you could tell me of anyone else dropping in after your daughter and Dr. Crosby left?
mdp.39015063947348	And then?
mdp.39015063947348	And what in the devil's name may vitamins be?
mdp.39015063947348	And what on earth are you going to do in Canter- bury?
mdp.39015063947348	And you have n't seen him since?
mdp.39015063947348	And your mother did n't see him?
mdp.39015063947348	Any news of those foodstuffs — the tea things, you know, which I sent up to the Yard last night for analysis?
mdp.39015063947348	Are you?
mdp.39015063947348	Be you the gentleman from London, sir?
mdp.39015063947348	Buss, would you be good enough to see if you can find the doctor, and bring him along if he's free to come?
mdp.39015063947348	But Christopher dear, does n't it give you pauses — does n't it worry you to have these — these terrible things going on in her family?
mdp.39015063947348	But I do n't see just what connection?
mdp.39015063947348	But the nurses, Miss Pinkney — don't they occasion- ally come in here? mdp.39015063947348 But what about today?
mdp.39015063947348	But who is Miss Darcy?
mdp.39015063947348	But — but — when — where?
mdp.39015063947348	But, Dr. Crosby,insisted the Archdeacon,"must I tell you again that the things were analyzed?
mdp.39015063947348	Can you remember?
mdp.39015063947348	Chris? mdp.39015063947348 Could you give that — or, say, atropine — without the patient's knowledge?"
mdp.39015063947348	Could you tell us, my good woman, who was the last person who saw your mistress alive?
mdp.39015063947348	Did you happen to notice that — er — relative of mine at the inn just now, Lucy?
mdp.39015063947348	Did you have any tea at the hall, mother?
mdp.39015063947348	Did you hear any movements or sounds from this room, Miss Lubbock? mdp.39015063947348 Did you hear what she said?"
mdp.39015063947348	Did you notice anyone else hanging about? mdp.39015063947348 Did you speak to him?"
mdp.39015063947348	Do n't tell on me, will you?
mdp.39015063947348	Do you mind if I see the report, doctor?
mdp.39015063947348	Do you remember, Mother, if Isabel drank tea yes- terday afternoon?
mdp.39015063947348	Dr. Crosby? mdp.39015063947348 Even the sugar in the bowl?"
mdp.39015063947348	Found anything yet?
mdp.39015063947348	Friend of yours?
mdp.39015063947348	Had they been much in Crosby- Stourton lately?
mdp.39015063947348	Has Father been telling you lies?
mdp.39015063947348	Has n't that chap finished telephoning yet?
mdp.39015063947348	Have one, Lucy?
mdp.39015063947348	Have you an appointment? mdp.39015063947348 Have you any objections to smoking, madam?"
mdp.39015063947348	Have you ascertained as yet whether or not his movements were at all sus- picious?
mdp.39015063947348	Help us?
mdp.39015063947348	Help us?
mdp.39015063947348	Hoskins, were you here?
mdp.39015063947348	How was the discovery made?
mdp.39015063947348	Hullo, Lucy,he said airily, as he wiped the dust from the corner of his eyes,"what are you doing at the pub?
mdp.39015063947348	Hullo, are you there?
mdp.39015063947348	I do n't 108 COTTAGE SINISTER care if fifty village wenches have been poisoned, but Miss Darcy's name is to be left out of this — is that clear?
mdp.39015063947348	I suppose they are the things that give you your crazy ideas, my boy? mdp.39015063947348 In my position,"replied his son, as he took a large helping of kedgeree with unruffled serenity,"and what exactly is my position, sir?
mdp.39015063947348	Is it — the same thing?
mdp.39015063947348	Is n't that so, Miss Lubbock? mdp.39015063947348 Is that cupboard kept locked?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is your — is this — I mean — is he not totally unconnected with the medical profession?
mdp.39015063947348	It was, I suppose,said the Archdeacon, disregarding her question,"Christopher Crosby — young Dr. Crosby, I should say?"
mdp.39015063947348	Lady's Bower?
mdp.39015063947348	Lawks,said the girl,"you do n't suspect that, do you?"
mdp.39015063947348	Meaning?
mdp.39015063947348	Mother, dear,she whispered at length,"do you feel all right?"
mdp.39015063947348	Mrs. Greene, are you sure this is the cup that Mrs. Lubbock was drinking out of?
mdp.39015063947348	No bad news, I hope?
mdp.39015063947348	No, doctor, nothing like'em in stock and never have had — now there's aspirin here, if that would do?
mdp.39015063947348	Nothing has been changed?
mdp.39015063947348	Now, take Miss Vivien Darcy, for example — what was she doing?
mdp.39015063947348	Now, you see this salt, Inspector? mdp.39015063947348 Oh, my God, Mother!—what's he doing there — the other man?"
mdp.39015063947348	Quite a lady?
mdp.39015063947348	Same as what?
mdp.39015063947348	Sir Howard, would you please tell me who made the discov- ery and how it was made?
mdp.39015063947348	Supposing you tell me yourself, then?
mdp.39015063947348	Surely you do n't think Christopher over- educated? mdp.39015063947348 The autopsy reports, I suppose?
mdp.39015063947348	The autopsy reports?
mdp.39015063947348	The clothes- cupboard, I suppose?
mdp.39015063947348	Then it is true, dear, is n't it? mdp.39015063947348 To Canterbury?"
mdp.39015063947348	Was everything analyzed?
mdp.39015063947348	Was the person you saw a stranger in Crosby- Stourton?
mdp.39015063947348	Well, why is n't she here?
mdp.39015063947348	Well?
mdp.39015063947348	Well?
mdp.39015063947348	Were you and your mother there together?
mdp.39015063947348	What did he say?
mdp.39015063947348	What is it?
mdp.39015063947348	What shall we do — what shall we do?
mdp.39015063947348	What tea things?
mdp.39015063947348	What were you doing in Lady Crosby's boudoir at four o'clock?
mdp.39015063947348	What's that other door in the corner?
mdp.39015063947348	What's the matter, Buss?
mdp.39015063947348	What's up?
mdp.39015063947348	What? mdp.39015063947348 When is the inquest, by the way?"
mdp.39015063947348	Where are you going in such a hurry?
mdp.39015063947348	Where? mdp.39015063947348 Who was with you when you made this discovery?"
mdp.39015063947348	Who?
mdp.39015063947348	Whose cup was that?
mdp.39015063947348	Why did she send for you and your mother?
mdp.39015063947348	Why not try and modernize yourself a bit, Father?
mdp.39015063947348	Why, who is she? mdp.39015063947348 Worried about me — puzzled, what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063947348	Would Lady Crosby's maid be aware of any visi- tors between four and four- thirty?
mdp.39015063947348	Yes,said Buss anxiously,"but who else are you, and what were you doing in Crosby- Stourton yesterday and Sunday?"
mdp.39015063947348	You did n't come into the room yourself after Miss Lucy had left the Hall?
mdp.39015063947348	You — don't — see,she began, separating her words with emphasis,"what it has to do with Christopher?
mdp.39015063947348	You've — looked at her then?
mdp.39015063947348	'E's never fyled yet,'ave you, Archdeacon?
mdp.39015063947348	'Ow do we know she's not giving us the slip?"
mdp.39015063947348	... By the way, I do n't think I know these gentlemen?"
mdp.39015063947348	... By the way, what were you doing at Lady's Bower this morning?"
mdp.39015063947348	.?"
mdp.39015063947348	112 COTTAGE SINISTER"May a mere father inquire where his son is going?"
mdp.39015063947348	26 COTTAGE SINISTER"And who is that, may I ask?"
mdp.39015063947348	70 COTTAGE SINISTER"Shall I go and fetch him?"
mdp.39015063947348	? An idea struck him.
mdp.39015063947348	A family idyll, what?"
mdp.39015063947348	All the sugar and tea in Lady's Bower?"
mdp.39015063947348	Am I right in my facts?"
mdp.39015063947348	Am I right, Hoskins?"
mdp.39015063947348	Am I"right?"
mdp.39015063947348	And I suppose you did n't notice anyone hanging about the house on Sunday afternoon?
mdp.39015063947348	And are n't they all standing round with their tongues hanging out of their mouths waiting for the first maiden blush and the first youthful stammer?
mdp.39015063947348	And could Cockett throw no light on the rinsing of this cup, if rinsing it was?"
mdp.39015063947348	And could Mrs. Burwell have been given an overdose without your knowledge?"
mdp.39015063947348	And could you tell us approximately — I mean, could you give us any idea of how many of the tablets your poor sister took?"
mdp.39015063947348	And how did Isabel Lub- bock know about Mrs. Burwell's death anyhow, if Mrs. Lubbock did n't?"
mdp.39015063947348	And the report on the Dormital tablets?
mdp.39015063947348	And was it, I won- der, one on which you found yourselves in complete agreement?"
mdp.39015063947348	And where do you think it was standing?"
mdp.39015063947348	And where's the beloved physician?
mdp.39015063947348	And who could, even supposing they wanted to?
mdp.39015063947348	And yet you ca n't help what you think, can you?
mdp.39015063947348	Any connection with the family at Crosby Hall?"
mdp.39015063947348	Any news your end?"
mdp.39015063947348	Any stranger?"
mdp.39015063947348	Any stranger?"
mdp.39015063947348	Anyway, why should he be meeting me after dark at the crossroads and all that?
mdp.39015063947348	As we have agreed, what more natural?
mdp.39015063947348	Be- sides what in heaven's name would she want to commit suicide for?"
mdp.39015063947348	But Carrie's lament was cut short by the Archdeacon's curt question:"Have those tea things been washed yet?"
mdp.39015063947348	But do just promise me this; wo n't you keep away from Lady's Bower for the present — just for the next few days?
mdp.39015063947348	But why?
mdp.39015063947348	But you must have something, do n't you think so?
mdp.39015063947348	But, are you sure?'
mdp.39015063947348	By the way, will you take this tea tray?
mdp.39015063947348	COTTAGE SINISTER 85"Not to you, has it?"
mdp.39015063947348	Ca n't a brother go and look for his sister without being surrounded by a ravening pack of policemen?"
mdp.39015063947348	Ca n't an old woman's story wait five minutes?"
mdp.39015063947348	Can we — er — can Christopher be any help — drive you anywhere in his car?
mdp.39015063947348	Can you tell me, Mrs. Crosby,'oo it was as bought it, and'ow did it get into Lady's Bower?"
mdp.39015063947348	Christopher, could you give me your arm?
mdp.39015063947348	Cockett said he remembered noticing just that afternoon how strong she took it""And Miss Lubbock?
mdp.39015063947348	Cockett?"
mdp.39015063947348	Could you account to us for Monday afternoon and evening, or throw any light that might help us?"
mdp.39015063947348	Could you tell me his name?"
mdp.39015063947348	Did n't you know?
mdp.39015063947348	Do n't you remember?
mdp.39015063947348	Do n't you think so?"
mdp.39015063947348	Do you think, sir, that it will be safe overnight in the hands of such a dis- soluble character?"
mdp.39015063947348	Do you, Mother?"
mdp.39015063947348	Does it look about right?
mdp.39015063947348	Dr. Crampton, is this really possible?"
mdp.39015063947348	Eh, sir?"
mdp.39015063947348	Especially when the letter spoke 274 COTTAGE SINISTER"The notes?
mdp.39015063947348	FOR KILLING AMY In view of the facts collated, who had a possible motive for killing Amy Lubbock?
mdp.39015063947348	Funny chaps, these medicos, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063947348	Greene?"
mdp.39015063947348	Has he asked you to marry him?"
mdp.39015063947348	Has it ever hit you?"
mdp.39015063947348	Has it occurred to you that the murders were extremely well timed?
mdp.39015063947348	Have n't our families thrown us at each other's heads ever since we were two?
mdp.39015063947348	Have you heard of the Crosby- Stour- ton murders?"
mdp.39015063947348	Have you noticed it?
mdp.39015063947348	Have you questioned her?"
mdp.39015063947348	He has n't asked her?"
mdp.39015063947348	Here, what's your hurry?
mdp.39015063947348	Here?"
mdp.39015063947348	Hoskins?"
mdp.39015063947348	How could one be happy when, until two years ago, the entire house- hold was under the thumb of my detestable harpy of a grandmother?
mdp.39015063947348	How far has this thing gone?
mdp.39015063947348	Hullo, are you there?
mdp.39015063947348	I do love you, but I ca n't marry you and I wo n't""Obstinate child, of course you will — what else could we do about it?"
mdp.39015063947348	I doubt if even the Public Analyst would be able to distinguish one from the other in the stomach content""And the Dormital tablets?"
mdp.39015063947348	I have n't met her yet, have I?
mdp.39015063947348	I mean hypnotics, sedatives — stuff like this?"
mdp.39015063947348	If Mrs. Lubbock is Myra Brown herself, what more natural than thus to destroy every possible danger of discovery?
mdp.39015063947348	If it was my poor mother who did it, how had she done it and why had she killed a nice, harmless woman like Amy Lubbock?
mdp.39015063947348	If poison had been put in the tea- pot, the milk jug, or the sugar, would not all the rest have been poisoned too?
mdp.39015063947348	If the action of the poison was immediate, who were the persons present in both instances immedi- ately before symptoms appeared?
mdp.39015063947348	If the yokels choose to mur- der each other under my very nose/ ca n't help it, can I?
mdp.39015063947348	In what respect am I superior to a fully trained and remarkably efficient young nurse?
mdp.39015063947348	Inspector?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is Crosby around?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is it safe to presume that the Dormital tablets were, as Dr. Hos- kins suggests, accidental and without bearing on the death?
mdp.39015063947348	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is that so, Beeston?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is that sufficient?"
mdp.39015063947348	Is there any pledge or engagement, or is it just a young man's fancy, with no reference so far to a girl's?"
mdp.39015063947348	It was Lady Crosby who paid them?
mdp.39015063947348	Looking for me by any chance?"
mdp.39015063947348	MEANS E. Who of the persons implicated could possibly have ob- tained a complicated drug without running the risk of easy detection?
mdp.39015063947348	May I go now?"
mdp.39015063947348	Might seem a little heartless, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063947348	Miss Lubbock for example?"
mdp.39015063947348	Mother, can I have a candle, please?"
mdp.39015063947348	Not'Reverend Sir,'but'Inspector,'I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063947348	Now, I ask you, In- spector — would any self- respecting nurse take water to a patient in a dirty cup?
mdp.39015063947348	OPPORTUNITY F. Who was in the vicinity of the cottage on the day of each death so as to be in a position to administer the poison to each victim?
mdp.39015063947348	Or did you mention a different name?"
mdp.39015063947348	Or should he borrow Archer's car( which had been put at his disposal)?
mdp.39015063947348	Our revels, I take it, now are ended?
mdp.39015063947348	Probably irrelevant?"
mdp.39015063947348	S.ir Howard watched them too, with an exaggerated care, while his lips framed the words"most distressing — what can be done?"
mdp.39015063947348	Said some- thing like this:'Ca n't you see, man, she's absolutely done up?'
mdp.39015063947348	Shall I call at your office?"
mdp.39015063947348	Should he tele- phone to Colonel Matraver at the Duchess of Somerset, and ask about Burwell?
mdp.39015063947348	Signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury himself — doesn't that al- lure you?
mdp.39015063947348	So the Bank has come across?
mdp.39015063947348	Somehow or other I have to get so badly disgraced that no one else will touch me, not even with a barge pole — is that right?"
mdp.39015063947348	That make you work at the hospital all day when you are supposed to be on a holiday, and ride around all night with a pretty village wench?"
mdp.39015063947348	That's so, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063947348	That's used frequently in mental cases, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063947348	Then Norris began again:"And wot abaowt the Lubbock girl all this time?
mdp.39015063947348	Then he added gravely,"Lucy, do you remember your promise?
mdp.39015063947348	Then with a cautious glance up and down the road she said in a piercing whisper:"Was it Lady's Bower you were think- ing of?
mdp.39015063947348	There was a calculating, shrewd light in his usually benevolent eyes as he said,"and this youngest girl — did she like her sisters?
mdp.39015063947348	They ran something as follows: When was the fatal dose administered in each case?
mdp.39015063947348	Was the illness of which she complained to Isabel the beginning of the action of the poison?
mdp.39015063947348	Was the rinsing out of her cup deliberate or acci- dental?
mdp.39015063947348	Was there perhaps any family dispute, any?"
mdp.39015063947348	Well — may I ask you to use your imagination sufficiently to consider it as hyoscine for the time being?
mdp.39015063947348	Well, I can guess your mission in Crosby- Stourton, but what's brought you to Somerton Court?"
mdp.39015063947348	Were you as good friends as ever when you parted?"
mdp.39015063947348	What do you say?"
mdp.39015063947348	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063947348	What of that?"
mdp.39015063947348	What was poisoned?
mdp.39015063947348	What was your final subject of discussion?
mdp.39015063947348	What were mere in- tuitions compared to mathematics?
mdp.39015063947348	What would you advise me to do?"
mdp.39015063947348	What would you say if I told you that a certain beautiful young lady said to me that you were as blind as a bat?"
mdp.39015063947348	What's happened?"
mdp.39015063947348	What's this?"
mdp.39015063947348	What?
mdp.39015063947348	What?
mdp.39015063947348	What?
mdp.39015063947348	What?"
mdp.39015063947348	What?"
mdp.39015063947348	Who are you?"
mdp.39015063947348	Who has had the impertinence to drag her name intc this?"
mdp.39015063947348	Who told you?"
mdp.39015063947348	Who was here, Mother?"
mdp.39015063947348	Who would n't?
mdp.39015063947348	Why could n't someone poison one or two lumps in, say, five pounds, and kill, say, one or two people?"
mdp.39015063947348	Why did n't we find more poisoned lumps?
mdp.39015063947348	Why do n't you take up neurology, my boy, and go in with him?
mdp.39015063947348	Why, I promised her this very day""Promised her — what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063947348	Will you please wait in the study?
mdp.39015063947348	Will you tell me who it was?"
mdp.39015063947348	With the end of his second cup of tea the Archdeacon stemmed the tide by a curt question:"Has all this any bearing on the Lubbock deaths?"
mdp.39015063947348	Wo n't you come in?"
mdp.39015063947348	Wot abaowt them alibis of'is?"
mdp.39015063947348	Wot's to prevent this Lubbock girl from myking a dash for it while we're jawing'ere?
mdp.39015063947348	Would you be dreadfully shocked if I joined you?
mdp.39015063947348	Would you please show me the way from here to his study?
mdp.39015063947348	Yes?
mdp.39015063947348	You are n't suspecting any nonsense about him, are you?
mdp.39015063947348	You do n't think — I mean, you do n't want us to go away be- cause you think there's any more — danger?"
mdp.39015063947348	You recognize it, do n't you, Lucy?"
mdp.39015063947348	You wo n't stay to dinner?
mdp.39015063947348	You would n't want to go in with the patients, would you?"
mdp.39015063947348	You'll be ready by then, of course?"
mdp.39015063947348	You've met him of course?
mdp.39015063947348	also Mrs. Greene's story, and Isa- bel's dying words referring to a policeman(? P.
mdp.39015063947348	but did you analyze the source of supply?
mdp.39015063947348	flAT?AOK SINISTER 35"What is it, Bella?"
mdp.39015063947348	he asked"I know you do some- times, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063947348	he asked, and his face turned notice- ably pale in striking contrast to his red hair,"did you say that Dr. Hoskins was at Lady's Bower, Vivien?"
mdp.39015063947348	he ejaculated,"does n't that rather complicate matters?"
mdp.39015063947348	she said, laughing,"am I such a mystery?"
mdp.39015063947348	where in'eaven's nyme did that come from?"
mdp.39015063947348	— er?"
mdp.39015063535556	A woman?
mdp.39015063535556	All the information you can?
mdp.39015063535556	An assigna- tion? mdp.39015063535556 And Jack had walked on?"
mdp.39015063535556	And a lace missing — why, oh why, oh why?
mdp.39015063535556	And ceased — when?
mdp.39015063535556	And the other two?
mdp.39015063535556	And then what transpired?
mdp.39015063535556	And you discovered?
mdp.39015063535556	And you lost money, did n't you? mdp.39015063535556 And you say you do n't really connect the affair with poor young Prescott?"
mdp.39015063535556	Any arrest imminent?
mdp.39015063535556	Any cards last night?
mdp.39015063535556	Any idea of the time?
mdp.39015063535556	Any idea who was the last person to be with Prescott, last night?
mdp.39015063535556	Any strange characters been knocking about lately, that you've noticed?
mdp.39015063535556	Anybody in particular lose more than most?
mdp.39015063535556	Anybody of the old crowd playing for the Rovers, Jack?
mdp.39015063535556	Anything in the nature of a quarrel?
mdp.39015063535556	Anything more, Inspector?
mdp.39015063535556	Apologies? mdp.39015063535556 Ar- rest Marshall?"
mdp.39015063535556	Are you going to tell Baddeley of this Marshall business at once?
mdp.39015063535556	Are you prepared to affirm, on oath, Mr. Whitney, that this lighting up of the billiard room took place after three o'clock? mdp.39015063535556 Are you sure he's all right?"
mdp.39015063535556	At what distance?
mdp.39015063535556	Billiard room first?
mdp.39015063535556	But where is the tape?
mdp.39015063535556	But will he come?
mdp.39015063535556	By force?
mdp.39015063535556	By the way, Baddeley— from Anthony —"you went all over the bedroom itself pretty systemati- cally — didn't you?"
mdp.39015063535556	Can any of you tell me reasonably accurately, what time it started raining here last evening?
mdp.39015063535556	Can you describe him?
mdp.39015063535556	Can you explain what I have just told you?
mdp.39015063535556	Can you recall anybody?
mdp.39015063535556	Certain?
mdp.39015063535556	Certainly a possibility,I said,"but""You do n't think so, eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	Clear as Thames mud, is n't it? mdp.39015063535556 Come, come, my girl, what is all your fault?"
mdp.39015063535556	Coming to bed?
mdp.39015063535556	Complicates things, considerably, do n't you think? mdp.39015063535556 Could I have half a word with you, sir?"
mdp.39015063535556	Could you give any description of him at all?
mdp.39015063535556	Did I hear you talking, Roper?
mdp.39015063535556	Did Prescott hear anything and come down to meet his death?
mdp.39015063535556	Did Prescott see it?
mdp.39015063535556	Did he ever bat left- handed or bowl left- handed — did he ever play billiards, for instance, left- handed?
mdp.39015063535556	Did he meet Webb outside?
mdp.39015063535556	Did n't speak to anybody after you got upstairs to your bedroom?
mdp.39015063535556	Did she reply?
mdp.39015063535556	Did the three people answer you?
mdp.39015063535556	Did you hear him, Bill? mdp.39015063535556 Did you know about this?"
mdp.39015063535556	Did you know the murdered man?
mdp.39015063535556	Did you pay it over there and then?
mdp.39015063535556	Did you remind her again the following morn- ing?
mdp.39015063535556	Did you see anything while you were here, or did you hear anything during the night that you think worthy of mentioning to me?
mdp.39015063535556	Do I shoot to kill?
mdp.39015063535556	Do n't you agree with me?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you ever see The Prattler, Bill?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you know that handwriting?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you know what becomes of them?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you mean any particular one?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you mean that he limped in some way or was lame?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you mind if I take another glance at it?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you object to telling me the amount you lost to the dead man?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you think so?
mdp.39015063535556	Does n't it make it appear,I asked,"that Prescott Was murdered for possession of that I.O.U.?
mdp.39015063535556	Eh — what's that — the other place? mdp.39015063535556 Eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Feeling funny, are n't you?
mdp.39015063535556	Fit and well?
mdp.39015063535556	Give me my niblick, Mr. Bathurst, will you?
mdp.39015063535556	Going on with the game?
mdp.39015063535556	Going to tell him?
mdp.39015063535556	Good- afternoon, gentlemen, Sir Charles about and handy?
mdp.39015063535556	Got all you want, Roper?
mdp.39015063535556	Got back all right then?
mdp.39015063535556	Got it?
mdp.39015063535556	Got what?
mdp.39015063535556	H'm — do you quite know where we are, Bill? mdp.39015063535556 Habitually.—or occasionally?"
mdp.39015063535556	Had them long?
mdp.39015063535556	Had you polished the dining- room floor just be- fore you went to the billiard room?
mdp.39015063535556	Hardly enough space for a fellow to dress — eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Has she been using it lately?
mdp.39015063535556	Has that inspiration come to you yet?
mdp.39015063535556	Have I impressed you that some person or persons — was spying on him?
mdp.39015063535556	Have n't any servants been here since the murder?
mdp.39015063535556	Have you let them know?
mdp.39015063535556	He has? mdp.39015063535556 How about Baddeley's theory?"
mdp.39015063535556	How about putting Marshall?
mdp.39015063535556	How are you going to manage it?
mdp.39015063535556	How came you to look under there, Bill?
mdp.39015063535556	How can you be positive as to that?
mdp.39015063535556	How can you imagine it could belong to anybody else? mdp.39015063535556 How did Baddeley manage it?"
mdp.39015063535556	How do you account for this shoe- lace being found in your pocket?
mdp.39015063535556	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063535556	How do you know? mdp.39015063535556 How do you mean?"
mdp.39015063535556	How long ago is the copy you want?
mdp.39015063535556	How long will you wait?
mdp.39015063535556	How long, Mary? mdp.39015063535556 How many cars have you in the garage, Miss Considine?"
mdp.39015063535556	How many tables were playing cards last night?
mdp.39015063535556	How much money did Prescott lose last night, Sir Charles?
mdp.39015063535556	How much?
mdp.39015063535556	How the devil did it come there?
mdp.39015063535556	How the devil do you deduce that? mdp.39015063535556 How was he done in?"
mdp.39015063535556	How's the rheumatism?
mdp.39015063535556	How?
mdp.39015063535556	How?
mdp.39015063535556	How?
mdp.39015063535556	Hullo, Baddeley, what did you think of old Anselm? mdp.39015063535556 I am going a little further then — what was your answer going to be?"
mdp.39015063535556	I can read, ca n't I?
mdp.39015063535556	I did n't mean did you like him, Mr. Bathurst, what I meant to say was, were you a guest of Sir Charles under similar circumstances?
mdp.39015063535556	I do n't know that I share your optimism,I re- sponded—"what's the next move?"
mdp.39015063535556	I do n't wish to appear inquisitive, and believe me I am not asking idly or frivolously — what was your reply?
mdp.39015063535556	I forgot for the moment that you have n't been here lately, Mr. Bathurst — tell him for me, Bill — will you, please?
mdp.39015063535556	I presume the door is open during the day?
mdp.39015063535556	I presume, Inspector, you will see the people within a little while, eh?
mdp.39015063535556	I'm curious about Marshall — she knows some- thing she has n't divulged — why did she open that window? mdp.39015063535556 I'm not inquisitive I hope, but is it this Prescott business?"
mdp.39015063535556	In the event of your being on the spot at a murder case, then, you consider that you would solve the mystery quicker than trained men?
mdp.39015063535556	In what relation? mdp.39015063535556 In what way peculiar?"
mdp.39015063535556	In your opinion, Miss Considine, was it the same man that you had seen on the Tuesday?
mdp.39015063535556	Is he G. O. L. Prescott then — that played for Oxford against Cam- bridge?
mdp.39015063535556	Is he waiting now?
mdp.39015063535556	Is it a crime to open a window?
mdp.39015063535556	Is it robbery, Inspector?
mdp.39015063535556	Is the body exactly as found?
mdp.39015063535556	Is the window left open during the day?
mdp.39015063535556	Is this the dressing- table where the case was?
mdp.39015063535556	It would be taking a chance, would n't it?
mdp.39015063535556	Jolly useful place — don't you think, Bill? mdp.39015063535556 Just tell him, Roper, will you?"
mdp.39015063535556	Know that handwriting?
mdp.39015063535556	Known him long?
mdp.39015063535556	Leaving us, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063535556	Let me have that letter again, Roper?
mdp.39015063535556	Look at that, will you, Inspector? mdp.39015063535556 Look here, Baddeley, do you think I should say a thing like that, without good and sufficient reason?"
mdp.39015063535556	Mahomet and the mountain, eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Major Hornby?
mdp.39015063535556	May I ask Lieutenant Barker a question?
mdp.39015063535556	May I ask why? mdp.39015063535556 May I sit down?"
mdp.39015063535556	May I suggest, sir, that perhaps Jack and Ark- wright should get a doctor and the police here, as quickly as possible?
mdp.39015063535556	May I use your telephone, Sir Charles? mdp.39015063535556 More in it than meets the eye, eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	Mr. Considine,said the Inspector,"sorry to trouble you — but — can you throw any light on this business?"
mdp.39015063535556	Near you? mdp.39015063535556 Never mind"— impatiently —"Prescott play- ing?"
mdp.39015063535556	No clues?
mdp.39015063535556	No, Bill — but it will, laddie — don't you fretl"What's Baddeley going to do?
mdp.39015063535556	Not been touched — eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Not so bad, Bill, eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Now my real question is this... do you know one of the maids at present employed at Considine Manor, of the name of Marshall?
mdp.39015063535556	Now, Marshall,he continued,"after you saw Mr. Prescott's body — what did you do?
mdp.39015063535556	Now, Mr. Bathurst,he came across to us as silently as a cat,"what about that rhododendron clump?"
mdp.39015063535556	Now, Sir Charles, this Mr. Prescott, whose death we all deplore, was a guest of yours?
mdp.39015063535556	Number Nine, sir?
mdp.39015063535556	Of course you could n't hear anything of the message?
mdp.39015063535556	Of our own, do you mean, or including every- body's? mdp.39015063535556 Oh?
mdp.39015063535556	Peculiarities? mdp.39015063535556 Physically — how would you place him?"
mdp.39015063535556	Pockets empty?
mdp.39015063535556	Prescott go with you?
mdp.39015063535556	Prescott had no money anywhere, had he, In- spector?
mdp.39015063535556	Qualifying for a mental hos- pital — I've been — haven't I? mdp.39015063535556 Really, Inspector — now that's most interest- ing — when are you going to arrest me?"
mdp.39015063535556	Remember what Mary Considine told us, Bill? mdp.39015063535556 Room as it was?"
mdp.39015063535556	Satisfied?
mdp.39015063535556	Say — Where is the shoe- lace?
mdp.39015063535556	See that?
mdp.39015063535556	So that,and here Anthony spoke with extreme deliberation,"at least two people saw it passed over?
mdp.39015063535556	Some enemy hath done this — eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Spiders do n't, as a rule, do they? mdp.39015063535556 Strangled?
mdp.39015063535556	Sure?
mdp.39015063535556	Tell me — you will, darling?
mdp.39015063535556	Tell me, Mrs. Prescott — has your son in any game or sport — been ambidextrous?
mdp.39015063535556	Tell me,her lips were working tremulously,"what is this?
mdp.39015063535556	Tell me,she ques- tioned us,"does he suspect anybody in the house of having done this awful thing?
mdp.39015063535556	That's why you ask me?
mdp.39015063535556	The Prattler? mdp.39015063535556 The Spider?"
mdp.39015063535556	The address of Major Hornby? mdp.39015063535556 The old one? — a'Bean,'Mr.
mdp.39015063535556	The three of them? mdp.39015063535556 The window — sir?"
mdp.39015063535556	Then Prescott did have an assignation?
mdp.39015063535556	Then what did you open the window for?
mdp.39015063535556	Then why do you hesitate, dear? mdp.39015063535556 Then you saw Mr. Prescott?
mdp.39015063535556	Then you went straight to bed?
mdp.39015063535556	Then you will?
mdp.39015063535556	There's no one else?
mdp.39015063535556	These chairs were overturned, Bill, and this poker was lying on the floor — remember?
mdp.39015063535556	This dagger was kept in the drawing- room, was n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063535556	This lace, Webb, where did you get it from?
mdp.39015063535556	This seat by the tennis courts — do you know exactly where she means?
mdp.39015063535556	Time?
mdp.39015063535556	Tiny? mdp.39015063535556 Too good an athlete?
mdp.39015063535556	Toppin'mornin'—what?
mdp.39015063535556	True, O King,said Anthony, rubbing his hands with real showman instinct,"and whose are they?
mdp.39015063535556	Want a companion?
mdp.39015063535556	Wants me at once, Fitch?
mdp.39015063535556	Was Prescott playing high?
mdp.39015063535556	Was he a cigar smoker? mdp.39015063535556 Was it Prescott's door?"
mdp.39015063535556	Was the billiard room the first room you did this morning?
mdp.39015063535556	Was the door open when you came to it?
mdp.39015063535556	We know where he is?
mdp.39015063535556	Well, Doctor, what's the excitement? mdp.39015063535556 Well, there's nothing to prove that the two people that have been here were here at the same time, is there?
mdp.39015063535556	Well, what now, Inspector?
mdp.39015063535556	Well,I said,"what in the name of thunder has this to do with Marshall?"
mdp.39015063535556	Were n't you with him?
mdp.39015063535556	Were you play- ing with him?
mdp.39015063535556	What about Canterbury?
mdp.39015063535556	What about Lady Considine's jewels? mdp.39015063535556 What about Marshall — or Mrs. Spider as she is — and the window?
mdp.39015063535556	What about Prescott's people, sir?
mdp.39015063535556	What about it?
mdp.39015063535556	What about that trumpeter?
mdp.39015063535556	What about to- night then, Inspector?
mdp.39015063535556	What are they — exactly — now you've fished'em out? mdp.39015063535556 What are they?"
mdp.39015063535556	What are they?
mdp.39015063535556	What are they?
mdp.39015063535556	What are you getting at?
mdp.39015063535556	What brand is it? mdp.39015063535556 What can we do, sir?"
mdp.39015063535556	What did he do with it? mdp.39015063535556 What did you do?"
mdp.39015063535556	What did you find when you got to the billiard room?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you mean, sir, exactly by that re- mark?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063535556	What do you say, Bill?
mdp.39015063535556	What else did I notice? mdp.39015063535556 What else was there?"
mdp.39015063535556	What for — murder?
mdp.39015063535556	What have you done with the necklace you took? mdp.39015063535556 What is it, Bill?"
mdp.39015063535556	What is that?
mdp.39015063535556	What kind of a shop?
mdp.39015063535556	What letter?
mdp.39015063535556	What make — do you mean?
mdp.39015063535556	What makes you think that, Bathurst?
mdp.39015063535556	What might that be?
mdp.39015063535556	What then?
mdp.39015063535556	What time shall we gather around to re- ceive our guest? mdp.39015063535556 What was it?"
mdp.39015063535556	What was the conversation between you and Prescott on this last occasion?
mdp.39015063535556	What was the'phone message?
mdp.39015063535556	What were the circumstances?
mdp.39015063535556	What's afoot?
mdp.39015063535556	What's he wearing brown shoes for? mdp.39015063535556 What's taking him away, Bill?"
mdp.39015063535556	What's that?
mdp.39015063535556	What's the game?
mdp.39015063535556	What's this, Bill?
mdp.39015063535556	What's this?
mdp.39015063535556	What's up?
mdp.39015063535556	What's your next move?
mdp.39015063535556	What? mdp.39015063535556 What?"
mdp.39015063535556	Whatever was eluding you?
mdp.39015063535556	When did he ask you that?
mdp.39015063535556	Where did you find this, Inspector?
mdp.39015063535556	Where does this Major Hornby hang out, sir?
mdp.39015063535556	Where is Jack?
mdp.39015063535556	Where is he, then?
mdp.39015063535556	Where to?
mdp.39015063535556	Where was I?
mdp.39015063535556	Where was it kept?
mdp.39015063535556	Where were you, Arkwright?
mdp.39015063535556	Where will he go then?
mdp.39015063535556	Where's'Spider'Webb to be found these days?
mdp.39015063535556	Where, then?
mdp.39015063535556	Where?
mdp.39015063535556	Where?
mdp.39015063535556	Which one did the job, do you think?
mdp.39015063535556	Who among us has any special knowledge? mdp.39015063535556 Who are you, sir?"
mdp.39015063535556	Who could have killed him, Mr. Bathurst? mdp.39015063535556 Who found him?"
mdp.39015063535556	Who was it?
mdp.39015063535556	Who was playing?
mdp.39015063535556	Who was responsible for the turn the conversa- 159 THE BILLIARD ROOM MYSTERY tion took? mdp.39015063535556 Who's the sender?"
mdp.39015063535556	Whom from?
mdp.39015063535556	Whom from?
mdp.39015063535556	Whose were they?
mdp.39015063535556	Why did you lie about it?
mdp.39015063535556	Why did you open it?
mdp.39015063535556	Why did you open it?
mdp.39015063535556	Why do n't her finger- prints show then, sir?
mdp.39015063535556	Why to those three?
mdp.39015063535556	Why was it brought up here?
mdp.39015063535556	Why — particularly?
mdp.39015063535556	Why? mdp.39015063535556 Why?"
mdp.39015063535556	Why?
mdp.39015063535556	Why?
mdp.39015063535556	Will the'Spider'come, Anthony?
mdp.39015063535556	Wot am I charged with?
mdp.39015063535556	Wot are yer drivin'at now?
mdp.39015063535556	Wot d'ye mean?
mdp.39015063535556	Wot's that you say? mdp.39015063535556 Would you be good enough to give me a mo- ment in the library?"
mdp.39015063535556	Would you mind telling me what work?
mdp.39015063535556	Would you pass close to the trees on your way back to the house?
mdp.39015063535556	Yes, Bill?
mdp.39015063535556	Yes, but — that bedroom — what else did you?
mdp.39015063535556	Yes, they do complicate things a bit, do n't they? mdp.39015063535556 Yes?
mdp.39015063535556	Yes? mdp.39015063535556 Yes?"
mdp.39015063535556	You admit you did open it, then?
mdp.39015063535556	You are n't surprised?
mdp.39015063535556	You did n't give him one, of course, or any in- dication of your feelings?
mdp.39015063535556	You did n't see anybody leave it?
mdp.39015063535556	You disagree?
mdp.39015063535556	You do n't admit that his key is always made to fit his lock?
mdp.39015063535556	You do n't think then,I said,"that we are nearing the finish of the Prescott affair?"
mdp.39015063535556	You do n't think what?
mdp.39015063535556	You had done some work this morning, before you went to the billiard room?
mdp.39015063535556	You have n't forgotten our?
mdp.39015063535556	You have n't the shred of a doubt?
mdp.39015063535556	You knew of the murder then?
mdp.39015063535556	You mean you left it lying where Lady Con- sidine had left it?
mdp.39015063535556	You mean,interposed Anthony,"that had this door shut very near to our bedroom, the chances are that I should have heard it, too?"
mdp.39015063535556	You never met Mr. Prescott at all?
mdp.39015063535556	You refer to the evidence of Andrew Whitney and the maid, Dennis — I pre- sume?
mdp.39015063535556	You refuse to answer my question?
mdp.39015063535556	You say you found the pieces under the bed? mdp.39015063535556 You think Holmes stands alone?"
mdp.39015063535556	You think it will assist? mdp.39015063535556 You think so?
mdp.39015063535556	You think so?
mdp.39015063535556	You think so?
mdp.39015063535556	You wear gloves for polishing floors?
mdp.39015063535556	You were not playing cards, last evening?
mdp.39015063535556	You were occupy- ing the last bedroom along the corridor, were n't you, Barker, and you, Bill, the last but one?
mdp.39015063535556	You were playing to orders — open window first, then scream — eh? mdp.39015063535556 You're absolutely certain it's Mary Considine's writing?"
mdp.39015063535556	You're satisfied then, In- spector, that Webb did n't murder Prescott — despite all this evidence?
mdp.39015063535556	You've been here some time?
mdp.39015063535556	You've seen nothing during his stay here, that you consider might have any bearing upon his death? mdp.39015063535556 Your daily duties, I presume, took you into the billiard room this morning?"
mdp.39015063535556	Your name is Marshall?
mdp.39015063535556	Your property?
mdp.39015063535556	is this the nearest one to Considine Manor?

mdp.39015063535556	Also, Bill, why was the dagger used when Prescott was already dead — strangled?"
mdp.39015063535556	Am I charged with pinchin'that, too?"
mdp.39015063535556	Am I correct?"
mdp.39015063535556	Am I to understand you suspected their existence and were looking for them?"
mdp.39015063535556	Am I wrong?"
mdp.39015063535556	And now what awaited them?
mdp.39015063535556	And then again as though she had n't heard him properly —"touch it?
mdp.39015063535556	And then?"
mdp.39015063535556	Anthony cut into his speech —"Where is the In- spector?
mdp.39015063535556	Anthony leaned across — nervously eager with excitement—"What was the other car — Miss Considine?"
mdp.39015063535556	Anybody in particular — think carefully — it may be of the greatest importance?"
mdp.39015063535556	Anything else?
mdp.39015063535556	Are you going to'ang me for opening a window?"
mdp.39015063535556	Are you leav- ing Considine for good?"
mdp.39015063535556	Are you?"
mdp.39015063535556	Bath- urst has n't made any other discoveries, has he?"
mdp.39015063535556	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063535556	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063535556	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063535556	Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063535556	But I can t"You are certain?
mdp.39015063535556	But surely, Inspector, you do n't har- 154 HORNBY AND THE VENETIAN DAGGER bor any suspicions against a gentleman of Major Hornby's standing?"
mdp.39015063535556	But what does it all mean?"
mdp.39015063535556	But why the deuce was Prescott outside that night?"
mdp.39015063535556	But""But what?"
mdp.39015063535556	By who?"
mdp.39015063535556	Can you help me now?
mdp.39015063535556	Can you remember?"
mdp.39015063535556	Can you see the unusual features of this affair, Roper?"
mdp.39015063535556	Can you tell me?"
mdp.39015063535556	Come with me?"
mdp.39015063535556	Con- sistently?"
mdp.39015063535556	Considine?"
mdp.39015063535556	Coombes — this maid of Lady Considine's — is she to be trusted?"
mdp.39015063535556	Could I have that ball of yours as a memento?"
mdp.39015063535556	Cunningham?"
mdp.39015063535556	D'ye think I've come passenger's luggage in advance?"
mdp.39015063535556	Did I"grumph"a straightforward shot?
mdp.39015063535556	Did Prescott come from the billiard room into the gar- den?
mdp.39015063535556	Did n't that strike you as strange?"
mdp.39015063535556	Did n't you tumble to Baddeley's game with the letter?"
mdp.39015063535556	Did she meet him or merely intend to?"
mdp.39015063535556	Did you answer him?
mdp.39015063535556	Did you go and touch it at all — take hold of the dagger — inquisitive- like — h'm?"
mdp.39015063535556	Did you hear anything of this?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do n't you recognize it?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do n't you see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do n't you think so?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do you keep them?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do you know?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you realize the importance of it?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do you recognize the notepaper as notepaper that you yourself would have been likely to use?"
mdp.39015063535556	Do you remember the second Test Match of the Australian tour in 1921?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you see that, Sir Charles?
mdp.39015063535556	Do you think there's any probability of restoring them?
mdp.39015063535556	Does she know you, Bill?"
mdp.39015063535556	Dr. Anselm.—"What exactly did he appear to be doing?"
mdp.39015063535556	Dr. Elliott.—"You suggest suicide?"
mdp.39015063535556	Eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	Eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	Eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	Far from here?"
mdp.39015063535556	Fully, but not properly, eh?
mdp.39015063535556	Get me, Bill?"
mdp.39015063535556	Get me?"
mdp.39015063535556	Going to Victoria, sir?"
mdp.39015063535556	Got it on you still?"
mdp.39015063535556	Got that?"
mdp.39015063535556	H'm?
mdp.39015063535556	Had I any accurate re- membrance of what Barker said he had done?
mdp.39015063535556	Had I known, had I had the slightest inkling — you are certain of what you are stating — pardon me?"
mdp.39015063535556	Had he climbed up into the billiard room from the garden?
mdp.39015063535556	Had he formed one of his brilliantly definite notions or was he still groping for an elusive factor anoj groping unsuccessfully?
mdp.39015063535556	Had the footprints any relation at all to the billiard room?
mdp.39015063535556	Had they fought?
mdp.39015063535556	Had your son any particular knowledge of knots?
mdp.39015063535556	Had'Spider'come back for anything, encountered Pres- cott and killed him?
mdp.39015063535556	Has she written that to Prescott?"
mdp.39015063535556	Have you ever experienced anything of the kind, gentlemen?"
mdp.39015063535556	He jumped to his feet —"Coming, Bill?"
mdp.39015063535556	He was cleaned out of all he had, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063535556	He was getting desperate now and out to involve as many people as he possibly could — why not con- fuse matters more?
mdp.39015063535556	He waved her question on one side, swinging a question back to her —"What made you buy it?"
mdp.39015063535556	His glance searched my features for a brief space then"Try Mr. Bathurst; does he find the writing familiar?"
mdp.39015063535556	Hogarth?"
mdp.39015063535556	How comes the Venetian dagger to be in the billiard room?"
mdp.39015063535556	How could Anthony possibly make a statement like that?
mdp.39015063535556	How could anybody else get in here — for a start?
mdp.39015063535556	How do we stand there?"
mdp.39015063535556	How do you account for the absence of blood stains?
mdp.39015063535556	How do you account for this?
mdp.39015063535556	How far had the Inspector taken the line of his investigation?
mdp.39015063535556	How had that got into the billiard- table pocket?
mdp.39015063535556	How had the Inspector fared over the little matter of the cigar stub?
mdp.39015063535556	How is Lady Considine?"
mdp.39015063535556	How long?
mdp.39015063535556	How tiny?"
mdp.39015063535556	I had vaguely heard the question repeated for the fourth time —"did you hear anything during the night?"
mdp.39015063535556	I presume I am correct, Inspector, in as- suming that you stage- managed this?"
mdp.39015063535556	I said —"and where?
mdp.39015063535556	I suppose that window, Bill, is roughly fifteen feet from the ground — eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	I think you may know the handwriting?"
mdp.39015063535556	I want to be unmistakably certain — certain for instance that it is n't an imita- tion — a wonderfully accurate imitation?"
mdp.39015063535556	I warned you to get that grey matter of yours to work — didn't I?
mdp.39015063535556	I will finish my re- port for The Message, by saying for the time being, the Police are entirely without a clue — eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	I wonder what Baddeley""What do you really think about it?"
mdp.39015063535556	I wonder what Sir Charles does with his old Prattlers?"
mdp.39015063535556	Is his memory correct?
mdp.39015063535556	Is it a hit?"
mdp.39015063535556	Is it important?"
mdp.39015063535556	Is it worth while following up Marshall's telephone call?"
mdp.39015063535556	Is that all?"
mdp.39015063535556	Is there news, then?"
mdp.39015063535556	Just after twelve?"
mdp.39015063535556	Know the handwriting?
mdp.39015063535556	Let's come to the point, the handwriting — recognize it?"
mdp.39015063535556	Mary?"
mdp.39015063535556	Most people in the house would have a fairly reasonable opportunity of access to the room — eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	News spreads, do n't it, Mr. Roper?
mdp.39015063535556	No?
mdp.39015063535556	Not long ago?"
mdp.39015063535556	Nothing more?"
mdp.39015063535556	Nothing — however seemingly unimportant?
mdp.39015063535556	Now what do you say?
mdp.39015063535556	Now where are we?"
mdp.39015063535556	Now where do I stand?
mdp.39015063535556	Now — why did she open the window?"
mdp.39015063535556	Now, Bill, which would be the easier way to get out of the room?
mdp.39015063535556	Now, how about getting our 124 WALK INTO MY PARLOR man?
mdp.39015063535556	On the other hand""If it was her way of answering his proposal — why was n't she frank with us about it?
mdp.39015063535556	Once again — was it Webb — or an accomplice of Webb's?
mdp.39015063535556	Open the window — then scream?"
mdp.39015063535556	Or dis- tant?"
mdp.39015063535556	Or do n't you consider it sufficiently im- portant?"
mdp.39015063535556	Or somebody inside the house?
mdp.39015063535556	Perhaps you gentlemen would care to accompany me?
mdp.39015063535556	Pieces of a last week's hotel- bill or an announcement of the local flower- show?"
mdp.39015063535556	Poe's • Dupin'was n't so bad, but the majority""You admire Holmes?"
mdp.39015063535556	Possibly I Revenge?
mdp.39015063535556	Prescott?"
mdp.39015063535556	Robbery for something that he possessed?
mdp.39015063535556	See?
mdp.39015063535556	See?"
mdp.39015063535556	See?"
mdp.39015063535556	Should he pursue that line of investigation any farther?
mdp.39015063535556	So that, friend Bill, is the method by which the now defunct Prescott, poor fellow, got out and got back?
mdp.39015063535556	So you wo n't mind if I say'good- day'?"
mdp.39015063535556	Sold many yourself lately?"
mdp.39015063535556	Still liking the look of them?
mdp.39015063535556	Strangled with what?"
mdp.39015063535556	Sure of your time?"
mdp.39015063535556	Tennant?"
mdp.39015063535556	That all right?
mdp.39015063535556	That is of course assuming that you have nothing to tell us?"
mdp.39015063535556	That's elementary, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063535556	The Coroner. —"And you know of absolutely nothing that would throw any light upon this in- describably dreadful affair?"
mdp.39015063535556	The Coroner. —"Had he any love affair?"
mdp.39015063535556	The Coroner. —"He had come to Considine Manor simply to take part in the Cricket Week?"
mdp.39015063535556	The Coroner. —"That would time the murder then, Dr. Elliott, at about one o'clock or half- past?
mdp.39015063535556	The inquest did n't pro- duce much that we did n't know — eh — and also did n't produce some that we did — what?"
mdp.39015063535556	The question is where?"
mdp.39015063535556	The rheumatics?
mdp.39015063535556	The shoes did n't show a trace of scraping — yet why on earth had Prescott put them on, and not his ordinary dress- shoes?
mdp.39015063535556	The various types of knots that can be tied, that is?"
mdp.39015063535556	Then I began to appreciate the horror of the affair to me — what had come to Bill Cunningham?
mdp.39015063535556	Then the Inspector was not at work on it this morning?
mdp.39015063535556	Then to Sir Charles:"I should like to see Mr. Considine junior next, Mr. Jack Con- sidine, is it?"
mdp.39015063535556	Then to us —"do n't you think so?"
mdp.39015063535556	These gentlemen — Sir Charles?"
mdp.39015063535556	They want to know where the old copies of The Prattler go?"
mdp.39015063535556	To whose benefit was the death of this man Prescott?
mdp.39015063535556	Understand, m'boy?"
mdp.39015063535556	Understand?"
mdp.39015063535556	Was he there still, wounded perhaps?
mdp.39015063535556	Was the window open?"
mdp.39015063535556	Was'Spider'hurt?
mdp.39015063535556	Webb?"
mdp.39015063535556	Webb?"
mdp.39015063535556	Were you out?"
mdp.39015063535556	What about having another look 173 THE BILLIARD ROOM MYSTERY at Prescott's bedroom?
mdp.39015063535556	What about those prints?"
mdp.39015063535556	What are you driving at?"
mdp.39015063535556	What do we know as opposed to what we conjecture?"
mdp.39015063535556	What do you make of Mar- shall?"
mdp.39015063535556	What do you say, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063535556	What do you say?"
mdp.39015063535556	What do you think, Bill?"
mdp.39015063535556	What had the doctor to tell us that we did n't know?
mdp.39015063535556	What is your opinion now?"
mdp.39015063535556	What relation did he imagine I meant?
mdp.39015063535556	What took Prescott to the billiard room?"
mdp.39015063535556	What was a man doing outside the billiard room window at that time — just after nine o'clock — on Friday evening?
mdp.39015063535556	What was it?
mdp.39015063535556	What were they?"
mdp.39015063535556	What were we going to hear that would throw light on the affair?
mdp.39015063535556	What would Baddeley have done, I found myself wondering, with the other's op- portunities?
mdp.39015063535556	What's that bit the French say about looking for a woman always?"
mdp.39015063535556	What's that?"
mdp.39015063535556	What's the In- spector think?"
mdp.39015063535556	What's the date — my eyes are n't as good as they were?"
mdp.39015063535556	What's this experiment?"
mdp.39015063535556	What's your opinion, Bathurst?"
mdp.39015063535556	When Jack and I went into the garden for a smoke, was everybody in the drawing- room?
mdp.39015063535556	Where did he get to?"
mdp.39015063535556	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063535556	Where then,"he swung round on me, alive with interest,"are the heavy marks of his feet when he dropped?
mdp.39015063535556	Where were they?"
mdp.39015063535556	Where were we going?
mdp.39015063535556	Where were we?
mdp.39015063535556	Where would Anthony have cleared a passage, had he been born Baddeley?
mdp.39015063535556	Where's the mo- tive?"
mdp.39015063535556	Which?
mdp.39015063535556	Who are they?"
mdp.39015063535556	Who had been Prescott's companion?
mdp.39015063535556	Who told you to do'that?"
mdp.39015063535556	Who told you?
mdp.39015063535556	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063535556	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063535556	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063535556	Why should n't I try my hand at the sleuth game?
mdp.39015063535556	Why?"
mdp.39015063535556	Why?"
mdp.39015063535556	Why?"
mdp.39015063535556	Will you find him and tell him?"
mdp.39015063535556	Will you see her?"
mdp.39015063535556	Would any criminal walk into an obvious trap like that?
mdp.39015063535556	Would she have said that a week ago?
mdp.39015063535556	Would we care to look?
mdp.39015063535556	Would you be good enough to give S3 THE BILLIARD ROOM MYSTERY me carte blanche as it were, to do a little investigat- ing off my own bat?
mdp.39015063535556	Yes?"
mdp.39015063535556	Yet"Where does Prescott come in then?"
mdp.39015063535556	You are absolutely certain of your time?"
mdp.39015063535556	You are quite certain of your statement?"
mdp.39015063535556	You counted the strokes and were sure?"
mdp.39015063535556	You get my meaning?
mdp.39015063535556	You grasp my point?
mdp.39015063535556	You have hopes?"
mdp.39015063535556	You have n't forgotten that, have you?
mdp.39015063535556	You think the paper's position important?"
mdp.39015063535556	You will see her?"
mdp.39015063535556	You wish to ask me some more?"
mdp.39015063535556	You've deserted the'Spider'then?"
mdp.39015063535556	You've seen Robertson already, has n't he told you?"
mdp.39015063535556	anything else?
mdp.39015063535556	but when?
mdp.39015063535556	can you understand?"
mdp.39015063535556	for instance?
mdp.39015063535556	he brought his fist down on the dressing- table triumphantly —"he lost the lot?"
mdp.39015063535556	i"You have no reason to suspect, Sir Charles, that'any developments had transpired from these meet- ings?"
mdp.39015063535556	interjected Major Hornby,"what about those French Johnnies, Gaboriau and Du Boisgobey?"
mdp.39015063535556	nothing fancy- like?"
mdp.39015063535556	over, what did you do?"
mdp.39015063535556	quite sure?"
mdp.39015063535556	these are the known motives, what about the unknown — eh?"
mdp.39015063535556	to Prescott?"
mdp.39015063535556	was half an envelope or half the back or front of an envelope?
mdp.39015063535556	was it at the card- table or after you rose?"
mdp.39015063535556	was last night the first night that Prescott had won much?"
mdp.39015063535556	when is your last remembrance of seeing the missing case?"
mdp.39015063535556	when she did, who should I set my eyes on but Marshall, the maid from the Manor?"
mdp.39015063535556	will that suit you, Sir Charles?
mdp.39015063535556	you realize that, do n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	Am I or am I not to give Mr. Moody a needle shower?
mdp.39015063950003	Am I?
mdp.39015063950003	An — er — earnest youth? mdp.39015063950003 And all the princes of the blood sending pres- ents, and the king not favoring it very much —""What are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063950003	And as to our staying here, do n't you realize that if we do n't your precious brother will never show up here at all, or stay if he does come? mdp.39015063950003 And father need n't know a thing — you can fix DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	And if I refuse?
mdp.39015063950003	And suppose I refuse?
mdp.39015063950003	And that is all you will say?
mdp.39015063950003	And when you've got your breath back, Minnie,he said feebly,"and your strength, would you mind taking the floor mop and hitting me a few cracks?
mdp.39015063950003	Are n't they on sale?
mdp.39015063950003	Are n't you getting what you've always had?
mdp.39015063950003	Are there? mdp.39015063950003 Are you Miss Waters?"
mdp.39015063950003	Are you going to return my letters?
mdp.39015063950003	As tired of what?
mdp.39015063950003	Awful thought, is n't it?
mdp.39015063950003	But do n't you see?
mdp.39015063950003	But — am I a trouble?
mdp.39015063950003	But — are you in love with him, Pat?
mdp.39015063950003	But — but what would she want with the letters?
mdp.39015063950003	But, of course, the papers will get it, and just now, with columns every day about Miss Pat- ty's clothes—"Her what?
mdp.39015063950003	Ca n't 11 go out to my own spring- house without having a posse after me to bring me back?
mdp.39015063950003	Could you see him?
mdp.39015063950003	Curious old world, is n't it?
mdp.39015063950003	Did n't he say the swelling was all gone?
mdp.39015063950003	Do n't you think I know my own, with L. C. in white cotton on the band, and my own darning in the knee where I slipped on the ice? mdp.39015063950003 Do what?"
mdp.39015063950003	Do what?
mdp.39015063950003	Do you deny that?
mdp.39015063950003	Do you expect me to pick up those cards?
mdp.39015063950003	Do you know what you have done to me? mdp.39015063950003 Do you mean Dorothy?"
mdp.39015063950003	Do you think so?
mdp.39015063950003	Do you want me to protest that the man who has asked me to marry him cares about me?
mdp.39015063950003	Do you want the whole story in the papers? mdp.39015063950003 Does anybody know yet?"
mdp.39015063950003	Does that mean,he inquired mildly,"that — guests must either obey this new order of things or go away?"
mdp.39015063950003	Exactly what was he doing when you last laid eyes on him?
mdp.39015063950003	Father, Bishop, will you stand for this? mdp.39015063950003 Get what?"
mdp.39015063950003	Hardly sheer enough to pull through a finger ring, are they?
mdp.39015063950003	Have n't you any apology to make, sir?
mdp.39015063950003	Have you no shame?
mdp.39015063950003	He was on the train —"Was he alone?
mdp.39015063950003	He?
mdp.39015063950003	Hello,she cried, looking at my hair,"are you selling tobacco here or are you the cigar- lighter?"
mdp.39015063950003	How can I ever tell your father?
mdp.39015063950003	How can my sister and her — her wretch of a husband have come last night at midnight when I saw Mr. Carter myself not later than ten o'clock?
mdp.39015063950003	How can you deny it?
mdp.39015063950003	How dare you turn us out?
mdp.39015063950003	How do you reckon he makes his mustache point up like that?
mdp.39015063950003	How many of'em?
mdp.39015063950003	How — how does Mr. Car- ter get along?
mdp.39015063950003	How's the air?
mdp.39015063950003	How's this?
mdp.39015063950003	I know we all impose on you, Minnie, but — will you take it for me? mdp.39015063950003 I say, Minnie —""Yes?"
mdp.39015063950003	I say,he asked in an undertone,"the stork does n't light around here, does he?"
mdp.39015063950003	I suppose I ca n't do any- thing more than register a protest against it?
mdp.39015063950003	I suppose they're happier now they have a doc- tor?
mdp.39015063950003	I wrote to Pat,—why does n't Pat tell him? mdp.39015063950003 I'm not keen on the mustache,"she said,"but the sword's beautiful — and, oh, Minnie, is n't he ar- istocratic?
mdp.39015063950003	I'm not objecting to Mr. Dick coming here, am I? mdp.39015063950003 I'm so glad to see you again — Pat, you'll tell father, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	I'm sorry,I said,"but it's one of the rules of this house that guests do n't come to these room?
mdp.39015063950003	If I give you the double percentage, will you stay?
mdp.39015063950003	If they'll stand for the bar being closed, why not the candles?
mdp.39015063950003	If you expect me to suggest that you both go to the house, and your wife can hide in your rooms —"Why not?
mdp.39015063950003	Is it not better? mdp.39015063950003 Is n't it money, or liberty, or — or a title, usually?"
mdp.39015063950003	Is n't it?
mdp.39015063950003	Is n't there some place near where he could stay, and telephone you now and then?
mdp.39015063950003	Is that all you have to say?
mdp.39015063950003	It has been quiet, has n't it?
mdp.39015063950003	Jove, Minnie,he said,"why do women of your spirit always champion the losing side?
mdp.39015063950003	Just gvup it a twist or two, Minnie, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	Just what do you mean by hitting my dog?
mdp.39015063950003	Listen, Minnie,he answered,"is Ju — is Miss Summers still confined to her room?"
mdp.39015063950003	Look here, Miss — Miss Patricia,Mr. Dick said,"why ca n't we stay here, where we are?
mdp.39015063950003	Look here,Miss Julia said, still in a good hu- mor,"do n't you suppose I've got letters of my own, without bothering with another woman's?"
mdp.39015063950003	Looks pretty good?
mdp.39015063950003	MISS PATTY'S PRINCE 137 Your Highness? mdp.39015063950003 Making a slide?"
mdp.39015063950003	May I speak to you, Minnie?
mdp.39015063950003	Minnie, in heaven's name, what am I going to do if she stays?
mdp.39015063950003	Miss Patty's handkerchief?
mdp.39015063950003	Miss — Miss Jennings and the — von Inwald THE PRINCE — PRINCIPALLY 159 were here just now, were n't they? mdp.39015063950003 My dear girl,"he answered, putting down his 232 WHERE THERE'S A WILU glass,"what has been pounded into me ever since I struck the place?
mdp.39015063950003	Nobody has left — and why? mdp.39015063950003 None of it?"
mdp.39015063950003	Now,she went on,"suppose I break that rule and get my own glass?
mdp.39015063950003	Of course,said Mr. Dick,"I expect to retain control, you understand that, I suppose, Pierce?
mdp.39015063950003	On nothing a year?
mdp.39015063950003	Only — won't she know your name is not Carter?
mdp.39015063950003	Os- kar not behaving?
mdp.39015063950003	Perhaps,Miss Cobb replied in triumph,"per- haps you will say that you do n't know anything of my — of my black woolen protectors?"
mdp.39015063950003	Put me under restraint?
mdp.39015063950003	Sitting?
mdp.39015063950003	Sleeping?
mdp.39015063950003	Sure?
mdp.39015063950003	Sweet — what?
mdp.39015063950003	That's awfully bad, is n't it? mdp.39015063950003 The pharmacy?"
mdp.39015063950003	Then she's seen Pierce,he said,"and he's told her the whole story and by to- morrow —""What?"
mdp.39015063950003	Then why in creation do n't they get out of the baths until we can shut off the steam?
mdp.39015063950003	Then — to- night, not later than eight o'clock, get father to play cribbage, will you? mdp.39015063950003 There is n't a new rule about speaking, is there?"
mdp.39015063950003	There is n't anything wrong, Miss Patty, is there?
mdp.39015063950003	There's probably some nice chap in the village, eh?
mdp.39015063950003	They?
mdp.39015063950003	Tillie,I said,"can you trust me?"
mdp.39015063950003	Under what circumstances?
mdp.39015063950003	Unreasonable?
mdp.39015063950003	Well, can I trust you? mdp.39015063950003 Well, why do n't you get one?"
mdp.39015063950003	Well,I asked,"did you change my basket into a dead rabbit?"
mdp.39015063950003	Well,I said,"did you get it?"
mdp.39015063950003	Well,she said finally,"are n't you ashamed of yourself?"
mdp.39015063950003	Well?
mdp.39015063950003	Well?
mdp.39015063950003	Were you calling, honey?
mdp.39015063950003	Wha — what are you talking about?
mdp.39015063950003	What about Mr. von Inwald?
mdp.39015063950003	What about the doctor?
mdp.39015063950003	What about your wages?
mdp.39015063950003	What are they?
mdp.39015063950003	What are you doing?
mdp.39015063950003	What basket?
mdp.39015063950003	What can we say to your father?
mdp.39015063950003	What can you do with people like that?
mdp.39015063950003	What did I ever do without you?
mdp.39015063950003	What did he look like?
mdp.39015063950003	What did you tell her?
mdp.39015063950003	What do you think of American women, Mr. von Inwald?
mdp.39015063950003	What has Mr. Dick been up to now?
mdp.39015063950003	What have you decided to do with me?
mdp.39015063950003	What have you done that they put you here?
mdp.39015063950003	What is it?
mdp.39015063950003	What is it?
mdp.39015063950003	What shall I do? mdp.39015063950003 What sort of a night am I going to have after chewing my food to rag- time, with my jaws doing a skirt- dance?
mdp.39015063950003	What was that noise?
mdp.39015063950003	What would you have had me do?
mdp.39015063950003	What — how do you like him?
mdp.39015063950003	What'll it do to me?
mdp.39015063950003	What's love got to do with it?
mdp.39015063950003	What's wrong with you, Pat?
mdp.39015063950003	What?
mdp.39015063950003	When was that?
mdp.39015063950003	When you self- contained women go to pieces,244 WHERE THERE'S A WILL he said,"you pretty near smash, do n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	When?
mdp.39015063950003	Where are you going?
mdp.39015063950003	Where is he, anyhow?
mdp.39015063950003	Where is the — where is von Inwald?
mdp.39015063950003	Where's Mr. Pier — where's Carter?
mdp.39015063950003	Where?
mdp.39015063950003	Who saw Mike last?
mdp.39015063950003	Who's sick?
mdp.39015063950003	Why do n't you keep her out of the way?
mdp.39015063950003	Why in the name of peace did you jump out the window, and what did you want with — with these things?
mdp.39015063950003	Why in the world would you do that?
mdp.39015063950003	Why is it that a lighted window in a snow- storm always makes a fellow homesick?
mdp.39015063950003	Why not?
mdp.39015063950003	Why should I? mdp.39015063950003 Why should he kiss her?
mdp.39015063950003	Why the one more day?
mdp.39015063950003	Why wo n't you talk about it?
mdp.39015063950003	Why? mdp.39015063950003 Will that open the case?"
mdp.39015063950003	Will you sit down and try to tell me just what you mean?
mdp.39015063950003	Would n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	Would you know the girl well enough to trace her?
mdp.39015063950003	You have n't had it yet, have you?
mdp.39015063950003	You have n't taken the dinner out to the shelter- house yet, have you?
mdp.39015063950003	You saved us, Minnie,he said,"and I need n't tell you we're grateful; but do you know what I think?"
mdp.39015063950003	You —he said"you are all right?
mdp.39015063950003	You're expecting him on the evening train, are n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	You're not going to give up now?
mdp.39015063950003	You're the sister, are n't you?
mdp.39015063950003	Your letters?
mdp.39015063950003	Yours?
mdp.39015063950003	126 128 WHERE THERE'S A WILL"To- night — I'm just tired and cranky,"I said,"so — is Miss Summers settled yet?"
mdp.39015063950003	164 WHERE THERE'S A WILL"Is he handsome?"
mdp.39015063950003	222 WHERE THERE'S A WILL overnight?
mdp.39015063950003	38 WHERE THERE'S A WILL"Why?"
mdp.39015063950003	77 IX Dolly, How Could You?
mdp.39015063950003	96 DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	About five o'clock Mr. Thoburn stopped in long enough to say:"What's this I hear about Carter making an ass of himself to- day?"
mdp.39015063950003	All I could think of was that they had swallowed Mr. Pierce, MR. PIERCE ACQUIRES A WIFE 6?
mdp.39015063950003	And did n't he go out there and have old Johnstone marry him to somebody else?
mdp.39015063950003	And do n't you also realize that this is probably the only chance he'll ever have in the world to become financially independent of us?"
mdp.39015063950003	Are you going to help us?"
mdp.39015063950003	As Mr. von Inwald represented the prince, would n't he be likely to voice the prince's opinion of American women?
mdp.39015063950003	But if these people want to be well, why should I encourage them to do the wrong thing?
mdp.39015063950003	But is n't that what I was to do — to make them well if I could?"
mdp.39015063950003	But what's the matter with a cap- tive balloon, and letting fresh- air cranks sleep in a big basket bed — say, at five hundred feet?
mdp.39015063950003	But, by the way, where's the spring water?"
mdp.39015063950003	By Harold Bindloss?!
mdp.39015063950003	Ca n't we get the police?"
mdp.39015063950003	Ca n't you try it for a week?"
mdp.39015063950003	Carter in his room?"
mdp.39015063950003	Could n't you have found somebody else, instead of getting, of all things on earth, somebody from the Sweet Peas Company?"
mdp.39015063950003	DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	Did n't I get my clothes, and were n't we to have been married by the Rever- end Dwight Johnstone, out in Salem, Ohio?
mdp.39015063950003	Do n't you know that the day of the medi- cine- closet in the bath- room and the department- store patent- remedy counter is over?
mdp.39015063950003	Do n't you read the newspaper?"
mdp.39015063950003	Do you know anybody, a friend of Miss — er — Jennings, named Dorothy?"
mdp.39015063950003	Do you mean to say,"she added slowly,"that nothing was taken from that room but the — lingerie and a bundle of letters?"
mdp.39015063950003	Do you see my heavy boots?"
mdp.39015063950003	Do you want to make me look like a fool?"
mdp.39015063950003	Dorothy, do n't you remember Minnie?"
mdp.39015063950003	Every time somebody laid down a queen, he'd say,"Is the queen still living, or did n't she die a few years ago?"
mdp.39015063950003	Had n't a DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	He accused us of poisoning him for rea- sons of state I""Where are they now?"
mdp.39015063950003	He'd been a little bit delirious, and his last words were:"Yes, sir; hot, with a pinch of salt, sir?"
mdp.39015063950003	How are we young men to protect ourselves?"
mdp.39015063950003	How do they know he's anything but what he says he is?
mdp.39015063950003	How do you like it by this itime?"
mdp.39015063950003	How much of Miss Cobb's virtue is train- ing and environment, Minnie, not to mention lack of temptation, and how much was born in her?"
mdp.39015063950003	I do n't think she had seen the other red rose, and what was she to think but that Mr. Pierce had known Miss Jennings some- where?
mdp.39015063950003	I exclaimed,"should I have kissed it?"
mdp.39015063950003	I say"—he stopped suddenly on his THE MUTINY 231"What do you think of that?"
mdp.39015063950003	I suppose you do n't have such things as burglars in this neck of the woods?"
mdp.39015063950003	I'd go, but I'm in slippers, and, anyhow, I'd need a lantern, and that would be reckless, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063950003	I've been a hard child to raise, have n't I?
mdp.39015063950003	I've saved the place, have n't I?
mdp.39015063950003	If 84 WHERE THERE'S A WILL you two children meant to come, why in creation did n't you come in time?"
mdp.39015063950003	If Miss Patty's own father ca n't prevent it, why should you worry about it?"
mdp.39015063950003	If each of us has a theory, and that theory works out to his satisfaction, then — why are we all here?"
mdp.39015063950003	In Europe we do things better; we are not — what is the English?—hag- ridden?"
mdp.39015063950003	In any sort of crisis there are always folks who stand around and wring their hands and say,"What shall we do?"
mdp.39015063950003	Is n't MR. PIERCE ACQUIRES A WIFE 69 it awful enough as it is?
mdp.39015063950003	Is n't that the sleigh?"
mdp.39015063950003	Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?"
mdp.39015063950003	It is n't a crime for two people to — er — love each other, is it?
mdp.39015063950003	It takes me mentally back home, Min- nie, to a lovely lady — may I have a bit of it to keep by me?"
mdp.39015063950003	It was n't very comfortable for Mr. Dick, but he DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	Jennings?"
mdp.39015063950003	Just as we left I heard the chef in the kitchen bawling out that he'd murder whoever DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?
mdp.39015063950003	LIKE DUCKS TO WATER 281 were tormenting me, just come up and say that to me, will you?"
mdp.39015063950003	Minnie, how old is this young Carter?"
mdp.39015063950003	Minnie, you can shut it off, ca n't you?"
mdp.39015063950003	Moody?"
mdp.39015063950003	Mr. Sam came in and slammed the door behind him 34 WHERE THERE'S A WILL"What's this about Mr. Dick not being here?"
mdp.39015063950003	Mr. Sam was there, but what could he do?
mdp.39015063950003	Mrs. Moody had been crying, CHAPTER IX DOLLY, HOW COULD YOU?

mdp.39015063950003	What did you do to the basket to- night?

mdp.39015063950003	What would you say to a shooting- gallery in the basement, under the reading- room?"
mdp.39015063950003	What's the matter with him?

mdp.39015063950003	she said suddenly,"what do you think?
mdp.39015063540788	'How did you know Mr. Carne had been murdered before anyone else did?' mdp.39015063540788 And school lets out at four?"
mdp.39015063540788	Are the gay young things already putting you in your place as the older generation? mdp.39015063540788 Have you considered that she may be in love with Furness?"
mdp.39015063540788	How far were you from the cars and second horse- men? ” “ Oh, they were below on the road. mdp.39015063540788 I do n't know yet, Jerry! ”"And what am I to tell the Chief? ” Ives demanded.
mdp.39015063540788	Is it best — best for Mimi? ” she demanded. mdp.39015063540788 Is that what other people are saying, Billiam? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	Is the information of such enormous importance as all that? ” I asked. mdp.39015063540788 Is this explanation about the bit reasonable? ” “ I suppose so.
mdp.39015063540788	Is this the coin your husband lost? ” he asked. mdp.39015063540788 Jerrold, ” he said abruptly,"are you a friend of Mimi Carne?"
mdp.39015063540788	Look here, Brade, ” I ventured,you'll be careful, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063540788	Mr. Brade:Can you describe the obstacles in more detail?
mdp.39015063540788	Mr. Brade:'How many fences?' mdp.39015063540788 Mr. Carne brought Pink Livery to Marpen? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	Must you marry your Ambassador? ” I asked. mdp.39015063540788 Really, my dear man, is it sense?
mdp.39015063540788	Shall I close this, sir? ” asked Otway. mdp.39015063540788 She wo n't run away with me, will she? ” “ Sarah?
mdp.39015063540788	She wo n't run away with me, will she? ” “ Sarah? mdp.39015063540788 Were they, I wonder?
mdp.39015063540788	Why refuse Miss Legend's offer on the 5th and accept it on the 6th?' mdp.39015063540788 Yes, sir. ” “ Will you tell us? ”"Certainly sir, as it ca n't ’ arm my master.
mdp.39015063540788	You are Otway? mdp.39015063540788 You, Otway? ” “ No, sir. ” Furness looked quickly from one to the other.
mdp.39015063540788	106 “ Does'e mean'e is? ” demanded Billiam, turning to me.
mdp.39015063540788	114 “ Not till afternoon. ” “ Ca n't I do anything in the morning?
mdp.39015063540788	158 I hope you'll go on with this case. ” “ And you'll help, Jerry?
mdp.39015063540788	169 Dick?
mdp.39015063540788	178 “ What's wrong? ” inquired Sir Ralph, with the lift of an eyebrow.
mdp.39015063540788	48 “ Do you suspect anyone in particular in connexion with his death? ”"No, I do n't.
mdp.39015063540788	? — so we went out and I picked up the letter not thinking- like you do when something 120 ’ appens, and I put it down in my room and forget it.
mdp.39015063540788	? ”"So I do.
mdp.39015063540788	A thousand times why?
mdp.39015063540788	And all the win- dows had been blocked out except one at the end? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063540788	And the poodle got back all right? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	And the servant who had stuck to him for years?
mdp.39015063540788	And then he will tell us what we ought to do. ” “ Then, shall we all go out and leave Revel with Dr. Jerrold? ” suggested Carne- Hilton.
mdp.39015063540788	And what motive had he, to compare with either Mimi's or Sir Ralph's?
mdp.39015063540788	And where is the other glove now?"
mdp.39015063540788	And you think just this may have happened to someone on Tuesday? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	And, since you are so observant, have you any idea what Lady Carne- Hilton keeps in the cupboard she did n't open? ” I stared.
mdp.39015063540788	Are there any exceptions, and are you one? ” She hesitated.
mdp.39015063540788	Are there any private de- tectives who are gentlemen? ” Revel looked at Marion Trent.
mdp.39015063540788	As for me- may I tell you a rather absurd dream I have every now and then?
mdp.39015063540788	Because he knew it was n't, or because he did n't want to be the only one to say it was?
mdp.39015063540788	Better than Mr. Furness, for instance? ” Brade turned to Carne- Hilton.
mdp.39015063540788	But do I have to now? ” “ You said I helped you once.
mdp.39015063540788	But has it occurred to you that both Barnet and Revel would know that it would be ob- vious?
mdp.39015063540788	But he ought to study Eastern thought — really he ought, you know! ” “ Who borrowed those boots, Mr. Brade? ” de- manded Ives.
mdp.39015063540788	But he taught me to understand that it is n't a wedding that matters, but love"“ And your father objected to these ideas?
mdp.39015063540788	But how?
mdp.39015063540788	But if someone innocent of the crime removed them, why did he not come forward to say so?
mdp.39015063540788	But it's a one- man job in the first place. ” “ Well, whom do you suggest? ” He did not answer my question.
mdp.39015063540788	But perhaps he did. ” “ Miss Trent? ” “ She was in love with Dan.
mdp.39015063540788	But the others? ” She looked at me and I knew that she had braced herself to tell me everything that was in her mind.
mdp.39015063540788	But to whom?
mdp.39015063540788	But what's the game? ” I tried to arouse his interest without telling him more than I must.
mdp.39015063540788	But when examining the body at the time, the idea of foul play did not enter his head. ” “ Who was Rufus M’Lean? ” asked Brade.
mdp.39015063540788	But why?
mdp.39015063540788	Ca n't you help me when I ask you to?"
mdp.39015063540788	Ca n't you see I'm worried? ” Brade looked sad.
mdp.39015063540788	Can you lend me a horse to suit me?
mdp.39015063540788	Carne, will you give me a free hand?
mdp.39015063540788	Come along, Otway is n't dead. ”"Did it give you a start, sir? ” asked Barnet.
mdp.39015063540788	Consider! ” “ Then there has been murder? ” “ Yes, my sweet.
mdp.39015063540788	Could I believe in her in spite of any ugly fact that might 171 come to light?
mdp.39015063540788	Could it have been an accident?
mdp.39015063540788	Could it? ” “ We must wait. ” “ I do n't think I can wait.
mdp.39015063540788	Could you ring later, sir? ” “ No, I must speak to him now.
mdp.39015063540788	Dad'll make me chop wood if I do n't. ” “ Why, yes, ” said Brade, “ you can look for a string glove. ” “ Where? ” demanded Billiam.
mdp.39015063540788	Dan's death is all to my advantage. ” “ You mean because you are now Lord Belfare's heir? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	Dead? ” He rang off abruptly.
mdp.39015063540788	Did Carne- Hilton tell you that Dan was a brilliant horseman?
mdp.39015063540788	Did I hope that he would speak?
mdp.39015063540788	Did I mean to defend her from suffering, whatever happened?
mdp.39015063540788	Did I want to hear it?
mdp.39015063540788	Did he believe what he implied — that his master lived on and guided events from another plane?
mdp.39015063540788	Did he know the country?
mdp.39015063540788	Did he tell you that Dan had enemies, and knew it? ” “ Yes, but Mr. Danvers Carne seems to have been superstitious.
mdp.39015063540788	Did you know that I was sitting here, waiting for him, while he was being murdered? ” She brought out the word as if it helped her to say it aloud.
mdp.39015063540788	Did you see anything to- day to make you doubt it? ”"No."
mdp.39015063540788	Do n't you ever think of anyone but yourself? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Do you agree with them? ” 184 been absent from the field after Carne left it.
mdp.39015063540788	Do you blame her? ” 257 He got up and mixed me a drink from a tray Colman had left for me.
mdp.39015063540788	Do you know anything about it? ” “ A little. ” “ Then perhaps you see- rhythm? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Do you know anything about it? ” “ A little. ” “ Then perhaps you see- rhythm? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015063540788	Do you know if he had valid reason for his fears? ” “ Dan was n't afraid.
mdp.39015063540788	Do you know why he did it, Dr. Jerrold?
mdp.39015063540788	Does she sleep badly? ”"Oh yes, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	D’you think it was an accident like the Coroner said, sir? ” “ Well, Mrs. Lacey, I can rely on you not to repeat what I say?"
mdp.39015063540788	D’you think it was an accident like the Coroner said, sir? ” “ Well, Mrs. Lacey, I can rely on you not to repeat what I say?"
mdp.39015063540788	Even if I work along those lines? ” 157 LS] “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	Forty- two- forty- three? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Furness says he does n't remember. ” “ Have you any theory about Otway's accident, Brade? ” “ Bless you, Jerry, what use are theories?
mdp.39015063540788	Furness says he does n't remember. ” “ Have you any theory about Otway's accident, Brade? ” “ Bless you, Jerry, what use are theories?
mdp.39015063540788	Furness?"
mdp.39015063540788	Go and get him! ” “ Who's shouting now? ” I asked gently “ I am.
mdp.39015063540788	Had Mr. Revel hunted before with the South Lodesdale?
mdp.39015063540788	Half worshipping him as a god, half loathing him in his true character? ” “ A god or a devil — which was he?
mdp.39015063540788	Half worshipping him as a god, half loathing him in his true character? ” “ A god or a devil — which was he?
mdp.39015063540788	Has it struck you that a hunting- crop is a handy weapon in an emergency, and that Otway has an ugly hole in his head, so you say?"
mdp.39015063540788	Have n't you noticed?
mdp.39015063540788	Have you anything more to tell me?"
mdp.39015063540788	Have you ever ridden him yourself? ”"I have — and I will.
mdp.39015063540788	Have you ever thought how the average per- son accepts everything ready- made?
mdp.39015063540788	Have you ever thought how the average person accepts everything ready- made?
mdp.39015063540788	Have you looked at his wrist- watch? ” I suggested.
mdp.39015063540788	He could be remark- ably charming. ” “ But Lord Belfare? ” “ He had to deal with Dan.
mdp.39015063540788	He had to have excitement, so the stakes had to be more than he cared to lose. ” “ Did he love his wife? ” “ How can I say?
mdp.39015063540788	He had to have excitement, so the stakes had to be more than he cared to lose. ” “ Did he love his wife? ” “ How can I say?
mdp.39015063540788	He has a wife, and I adore her. ” “ Is she one of the murderers? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063540788	He is working on the case, is n't he? ” “ Yes, I was asked to persuade Brade to take it up. ” “ Take him away, Dr. Jerrold.
mdp.39015063540788	He rode straight home from here, did n't he, Sir Ralph?
mdp.39015063540788	Hello, is that you Brade?"
mdp.39015063540788	Her cleverness is fa- mous. ” “ Have you any other reason? ” “ Instinct.
mdp.39015063540788	Her whole account holds together- doesn't it?
mdp.39015063540788	Hoping that an opportunity would arise in time to make use of this form of panic?
mdp.39015063540788	How do you come to know the names of the fields and coverts so well? ” Mr. Coroner looked very wise the man whom noth- ing escapes.
mdp.39015063540788	I ask you, my brilliant friend, does it fit? ” “ You know I never thought it fitted. ” “ You must remember it's the little things I see.
mdp.39015063540788	I believe he was rotten to the core. ” “ Do you believe it enough to give me a free hand?
mdp.39015063540788	I ca n't believe it. ” “ Revel? ” “ He worshipped Dan.
mdp.39015063540788	I do n't see 269 Barnet, sir? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	I hate to beg. ” “ Did he tell you what he and Otway were talking about so earnestly? ” “ He said they were discussing the weather.
mdp.39015063540788	I have great confi- dence in Simon Brade. ” “ You realize that if there is an inquiry Mimi will 68 be involved?
mdp.39015063540788	I knew him to have a pene- trating mind, but if he erred in his hypothesis at the beginning, might not his ingenuity become a positive danger?
mdp.39015063540788	I said there'd be a haccident, did n't I, sir?
mdp.39015063540788	I say:"Where is Brune, madame?'
mdp.39015063540788	I see. ” “ Doctor — did anyone do this to Jim? ” 215 le was She pulled me aside, away from Jennings, who was listening.
mdp.39015063540788	I suppose that was why?
mdp.39015063540788	I think that is all I have to say. ” “ There was no sign of Mr. Carne's horse? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063540788	I thought he must be in pain, his face was so white and drawn. ” “ Where did you see him? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	I trust him. ” “ The servants? ” “ Colman is a type.
mdp.39015063540788	I want you to help her if you can. ” “ I certainly will. ”"Is it a promise?"
mdp.39015063540788	I was sorry for her. ” “ So, when she called on you for help, you an- swered? ” “ Yes, it got to be a habit.
mdp.39015063540788	I'd like to have him. ” “ Do you know him personally, Dr. Jerrold? ” “ Yes, quite well.
mdp.39015063540788	I'll attend to the rest. ” “ Here?
mdp.39015063540788	I'm sorry about it. ” “ You mean you think she did it?
mdp.39015063540788	If Danvers Carne's body was not al- ready there, where was it?
mdp.39015063540788	If I help you, 165 will you do something for me? ” “ I should like to."
mdp.39015063540788	If he did, would the name of Mimi Carne be cleared in a breath?
mdp.39015063540788	If he died earlier, everything not en- tailed would go elsewhere. ” “ And the effect of this? ” “ We have three uncles.
mdp.39015063540788	If he had dismounted and then mounted again they would both have been muddy. ” “ Why did n't you say so at the inquest? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	If he kills me, what does it matter?
mdp.39015063540788	If the devil went about in society, ca n't you see the house parties he would collect?
mdp.39015063540788	If we need you, will you come? ” I said I would.
mdp.39015063540788	If you cared for Danvers Carne as you say you did, why did you ask him to ride that brute for you?
mdp.39015063540788	In a crisis?
mdp.39015063540788	In fact, sir, I took the liberty of making an experiment, the shape and size were so uncommon. ” “ And the result, Otway?"
mdp.39015063540788	Is he in? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Is that right, Brade? ” “ But how do you know Carne's body was not in the chalk- pit at four thirty? ” I explained.
mdp.39015063540788	Is that right, Brade? ” “ But how do you know Carne's body was not in the chalk- pit at four thirty? ” I explained.
mdp.39015063540788	Is that right, Sir Ralph? ” “ Yes, that's how it was.
mdp.39015063540788	Is that what you call a vicious horse? ” he inquired as one asks for interesting in- formation.
mdp.39015063540788	Is that you, Perry?
mdp.39015063540788	Is the stirrup right, sir? ” Brade was mounted now and looked down on us from Sarah's back neryously.
mdp.39015063540788	Is there any chance of its being kept from the public? ” “ I do n't know,"I replied truthfully.
mdp.39015063540788	Is this true? ” The young man drew out his note- book.
mdp.39015063540788	Is your car there, Jerry, and does it still go?
mdp.39015063540788	It does n't fit, now, does it?
mdp.39015063540788	It is just when he is in danger, or thinks he is, that he is most reckless. ” “ Is there anything else? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	It is what you want? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	It may not have been right and it may have been tampered with. ” “ What else did you do? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	It suited him better. ” “ Why egg- and- spoon? ” inquired Brade suddenly.
mdp.39015063540788	It was a Japanese imitation, but did she want the truth? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	It was serious enough. ” m 46 “ What did he say to make you think he was afraid of being murdered? ”"He told me he had made his will.
mdp.39015063540788	It was then that Ralph passed me. ” “ And that was what time? ” “ I'm not sure.
mdp.39015063540788	It was when it all came out that he and Mr. Revel met first. ” “ You had words with your master over the matter? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	It wasp him?
mdp.39015063540788	Jerrold, sir? ” “ Yes, Perry. ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015063540788	Jerrold, will you show Billiam where to go? ” she suggested tactfully.
mdp.39015063540788	Jerrold? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	Jerrold? ” “ Yes. ” “ Mrs.
mdp.39015063540788	Jerry, what's the matter with Furness?
mdp.39015063540788	Just because I do n't know long words like you — ” “ Will you or wo n't you take this case? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015063540788	Lady Caroline Scott? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	Look here! ” “ But, Brade, how was Carne- Hilton hurt?
mdp.39015063540788	Love?
mdp.39015063540788	Marking time with Colonel Shields while he answered all my ques- tions over half a dozen times, and waiting for my cue! ” “ What did Shields say?"
mdp.39015063540788	May I look at your husband's clothes- everything he wore or carried at the time of the accident? ” “ Of course, ” said Mimi.
mdp.39015063540788	Might as well buy a knitting- needle when you are looking for a battering- ram. ” “ What about the C.I.D? ”"Bless us and save us, what next?

mdp.39015063540788	Might he have met Revel in that way?
mdp.39015063540788	Might he have tried to get to Cranmere Farm, after waiting awhile, hoping someone might come along to help him?
mdp.39015063540788	Might he not build up a plausible case against two innocent persons?
mdp.39015063540788	Mimi exclaimed: “ Oh, why has he done such a thing today?
mdp.39015063540788	Mr. Danvers had small feet, and very narrow. ” “ But there are several ladies? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	Mr. Revel owned the horse, you know. ” “ That was the day before Mr. Carne died? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	My master was extremely reckless. ” “ You tried to persuade your master not to ride the horse?"
mdp.39015063540788	Naturally I prefer to think it was the mare. ” “ But why?
mdp.39015063540788	No one else can. ” “ Was he Mr. Carne's horse? ” asked Brade.
mdp.39015063540788	Now, suppose it was n't a sofa cushion, I take it those inhibitions would get between us?
mdp.39015063540788	Now, where did that writing- table stand?"
mdp.39015063540788	Now, why was he so sure this accident was n't an acci- dent at all?
mdp.39015063540788	Of whom was she thinking?
mdp.39015063540788	Oh, what is it?"
mdp.39015063540788	Oh, why? ” Revel entered with Marion Trent.
mdp.39015063540788	Or has he found out lately that he did know? ”"And done him in eighteen months afterwards?
mdp.39015063540788	Or has he found out lately that he did know? ”"And done him in eighteen months afterwards?
mdp.39015063540788	Or have I mixed it up with Edgehill? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Perhaps you will tell us what you think, Dr. Jerrold? ” said Sir Ralph.
mdp.39015063540788	Ralph?
mdp.39015063540788	Revel, ” I said, “ who suggested this? ” “ Brade, I believe.
mdp.39015063540788	Sarah is half human, and you ca n't hang a horse. ” “ But why did she hate him?"
mdp.39015063540788	Sarah is the wisest of them all. ” “ But is she as reliable with others as with her master? ” 57 “ Oh yes.
mdp.39015063540788	Sarah is very funny about that chalk- pit. ”"And what do you want me to do, Brade?"
mdp.39015063540788	Sarah kicked ’ i m. ” “ How do you know? ” “ I was on'er back at the time, sir."
mdp.39015063540788	Seems ’ orrible. ” “ Then you wo n't mind if I borrow Billiam tomor- row, as it's Saturday? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Shall I show you now?"
mdp.39015063540788	Shall we go and see 100 the chalk- pit?
mdp.39015063540788	She got up when she saw me and then sat down again, pushed out a chair for me, and asked: “ How is he?"
mdp.39015063540788	She has a sense of responsibility and he had none, as you and I understand the word. ” “ But she was devoted to him? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	She said she loved him. ”"Did she mention him by name? ” asked Brade.
mdp.39015063540788	Sir Ralph, did you know it was there? ” “ I did not, ” replied Carne- Hilton.
mdp.39015063540788	So I called back, explaining that my mare had cast a shoe. ”"Did you hear what he said? ” Brade asked Carne- Hilton.
mdp.39015063540788	So Mrs. Danvers, she say gentle:'Please will you all leave me?
mdp.39015063540788	So you waited in the wood until five forty, Barnet? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ And then? ”"I did what I was told, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	So you waited in the wood until five forty, Barnet? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ And then? ”"I did what I was told, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	Suicide from grief?
mdp.39015063540788	Suppose he gave up the girl he loved to Carne — and then found this out?
mdp.39015063540788	Suppose she did love Furness and knew him to be guilty?
mdp.39015063540788	Surely you did n't attack him?"
mdp.39015063540788	Tastes, habits, morals?
mdp.39015063540788	Tastes, habits, morals? ” The second was from Revel's description of his dead friend:"He had a horror of the commonplace.
mdp.39015063540788	That mare, sir — she ” “ What's this about potato- sacks? ” Brade explained gently.
mdp.39015063540788	That's all. ” “ Are you?
mdp.39015063540788	The writing- table did n't have any drawers, now, did it? ” He was quite right, now I came to think of it.
mdp.39015063540788	There's no mist today. ” “ Who is riding Sarah? ” He swallowed twice before he replied:"Barnet."
mdp.39015063540788	They did n't exactly want to ask him to tea, did they, though Barnet often dropped in? ” “ I never said any such thing,"I expostulated.
mdp.39015063540788	They have been hastily wiped. ” “ Dear me! ” “ Am I to inform the police of this?"
mdp.39015063540788	Unless — ” “ Are you going to suggest that theory to Dr. Jer- rold? ” demanded Revel angrily.
mdp.39015063540788	Was he a crank- or a crook?
mdp.39015063540788	Was he only afraid of being loquacious?
mdp.39015063540788	Was he right?
mdp.39015063540788	Was his devotion to his master real or mere self- interest?
mdp.39015063540788	Was it genuine or just a joke? ” Simon had read my thoughts.
mdp.39015063540788	Was it not a fantastic view to take of the incidents Mimi Carne had described to me?
mdp.39015063540788	Was it only that I was determined to condemn this man or was I right?
mdp.39015063540788	Was it the Oxford Group or New Thought, or what?
mdp.39015063540788	Was my faith in her proof against evidence that she knew more of the truth than she admitted?
mdp.39015063540788	Was someone watching his or her chance? ” Brade turned quickly and looked at me.
mdp.39015063540788	Was the murder premeditated over a long stretch of time?
mdp.39015063540788	We have no secrets from Jerry. ” “ Then why did you send for me, Mr. Brade? ” “ I send for you?
mdp.39015063540788	We have no secrets from Jerry. ” “ Then why did you send for me, Mr. Brade? ” “ I send for you?
mdp.39015063540788	Well, I can think of a dozen ways of making it sound plausible in a story. ” “ Would you like an investigation? ” “ Lord, no!
mdp.39015063540788	Well, Ives, what do you say?"
mdp.39015063540788	Well, this is what I want: Tell me, if you can, who rifled that cupboard of Vivien's, and what did they find?
mdp.39015063540788	Well, we'll leave Mimi- but what do you think of her husband, my nephew Dan? ” 19 “ I've been thinking quite a lot about him.
mdp.39015063540788	What I'd like to know is — did Revel believe Carne knew he was riding the wrong horse?
mdp.39015063540788	What about a fast gallop?
mdp.39015063540788	What about him?
mdp.39015063540788	What am I to report? ” “ Tell the truth, dear Ives,"Simon suggested, “ but do n't tell everybody.
mdp.39015063540788	What d'you mean? ” demanded Revel.
mdp.39015063540788	What did you think of Mimi? ” “ Mimi, Lady Caroline? ” “ Do n't pretend to be a stupid, because I happen to know you are not.
mdp.39015063540788	What did you think of Mimi? ” “ Mimi, Lady Caroline? ” “ Do n't pretend to be a stupid, because I happen to know you are not.
mdp.39015063540788	What do you think, Lady Caroline? ” She laughed good- na- turedly.
mdp.39015063540788	What else is there?
mdp.39015063540788	What had I dreaded to find?
mdp.39015063540788	What had hap- pened to Carne between three thirty and four fifty or thereabouts?
mdp.39015063540788	What have you to say to that? ” “ What I have said all along.
mdp.39015063540788	What if Revel did that?
mdp.39015063540788	What should I have thought of Brade's theory then?
mdp.39015063540788	What the devil were you doing with those bricks, Simon? ” “ Just a game, Jerry, just a game! ” I looked more closely at the toys.
mdp.39015063540788	What was lacking there, besides the play of life on the fea- tures?
mdp.39015063540788	What was there for Jim to do but to kill him and be free? ” Revel had been watching her with horror.
mdp.39015063540788	What was to prevent his using his master's philosophy for his own ends, whether he believed it or not?
mdp.39015063540788	What would break them down?
mdp.39015063540788	What?
mdp.39015063540788	Where are those string gloves?
mdp.39015063540788	Where is my hat?
mdp.39015063540788	Where were they?
mdp.39015063540788	Where were they? ” “ We'd better ask Colman. ” He rang.
mdp.39015063540788	Who had motive?
mdp.39015063540788	Who had time to murder Carne and also to dispose of the body?
mdp.39015063540788	Who knew the country well enough?
mdp.39015063540788	Who was the man friend his wife had spoken of?
mdp.39015063540788	Who was the stranger in the garden last Thursday night?
mdp.39015063540788	Why ca n't we all forget him? ” “ Human beings do n't forget, Miss Legend.
mdp.39015063540788	Why did he give your husband that vicious horse to tame? ” “ Pink Livery?
mdp.39015063540788	Why did he give your husband that vicious horse to tame? ” “ Pink Livery?
mdp.39015063540788	Why did he lose his memory for that critical quarter of an hour?
mdp.39015063540788	Why did n't you get him?
mdp.39015063540788	Why did she do this?
mdp.39015063540788	Why did you pester me into taking this case at all?
mdp.39015063540788	Why do you harp on that? ”"I'm going to find out about that horse. ” Lady Carne- Hilton came into the room, and her husband followed.
mdp.39015063540788	Why does n't someone speak — tell the truth?
mdp.39015063540788	Why had I allowed myself to be dragged into such an affair?
mdp.39015063540788	Why had he stopped?
mdp.39015063540788	Why not?
mdp.39015063540788	Why should she have dis- appeared, unless to avoid questioning?
mdp.39015063540788	Why should we be dragged through horrors for a man who has injured us all?
mdp.39015063540788	Why, Jerry, why? ” “ Did n't you ask him? ” “ If he had wanted to tell me anything more he would have told me, would n't he?
mdp.39015063540788	Why, Jerry, why? ” “ Did n't you ask him? ” “ If he had wanted to tell me anything more he would have told me, would n't he?
mdp.39015063540788	Why, Jerry, why? ” “ Did n't you ask him? ” “ If he had wanted to tell me anything more he would have told me, would n't he?
mdp.39015063540788	Why, if he had been able to move about after his fall, had he not walked home?
mdp.39015063540788	Why, man, why did n't you say so be- fore?
mdp.39015063540788	Why?
mdp.39015063540788	Why?
mdp.39015063540788	Why?
mdp.39015063540788	Why?
mdp.39015063540788	Will he die? ” “ You mean Otway? ” “ Yes — Jim.
mdp.39015063540788	Will he die? ” “ You mean Otway? ” “ Yes — Jim.
mdp.39015063540788	Will that answer you? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015063540788	Will you begin with fish, miss? ” The serv- ant offered Marion Trent a perfectly cooked sole, which she allowed to cool on her plate.
mdp.39015063540788	Will you come on to the Hall now? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Will you do all you can, Dr. Jerrold? ” “ Sorry, sir, there's no more soup.
mdp.39015063540788	Will you help me again if I ask you to? ”.
mdp.39015063540788	Will you tell him? ” He told briefly the story Furness had told me.
mdp.39015063540788	Will you try? ” “ But what have they got to do with — I see, sir. ” Otway paused.
mdp.39015063540788	Women- I do n't know. ” “ Did he gamble? ” “ He did.
mdp.39015063540788	Women? ” “ I do n't believe he took drugs — unless as an experi- ment.
mdp.39015063540788	Would n't he see a hundred things he had n't seen before?
mdp.39015063540788	Would n't his faith in his hero collapse at one stroke?
mdp.39015063540788	Would n't there have been an explosion?
mdp.39015063540788	Would we do without a Coleridge because he was addicted to drugs, or Shakspere because he deserted his wife?
mdp.39015063540788	Would you forget it?
mdp.39015063540788	Yet did it?
mdp.39015063540788	Yet suppose she had not impressed me as sincere?
mdp.39015063540788	You can go ahead. ” “ Are you Mr. Brade? ” Otway turned to him respect- fully.
mdp.39015063540788	You get a lot of custom here for a week- day, do n't you? ” “ Not as a rule, sir.
mdp.39015063540788	You had no suspicion of any other reason? ” “ Certainly not.
mdp.39015063540788	You know, you might tell me. ” “ What makes you think that? ” Brade glanced at me proudly.
mdp.39015063540788	You live at Cranmere Farm? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	You loathed him at last? ” “ I think I did. ” “ And that is the end of your dream? ” “ Yes, I shall never have that dream again.
mdp.39015063540788	You loathed him at last? ” “ I think I did. ” “ And that is the end of your dream? ” “ Yes, I shall never have that dream again.
mdp.39015063540788	You see those bricks?
mdp.39015063540788	You see what I mean?
mdp.39015063540788	You see, none of us is convinced that Dan met his death by accident. ” “ Then why — ” “ Yes, I know — why not say so at the inquest?
mdp.39015063540788	You see, when I get interested I do sometimes hit on the truth, and are you sure the truth is what you want? ” “ Of course it is. ” He sighed.
mdp.39015063540788	You sound so robust! ” “ Will you? ” “ Will I what? ” “ Take a case?"
mdp.39015063540788	You sound so robust! ” “ Will you? ” “ Will I what? ” “ Take a case?"
mdp.39015063540788	You sound so robust! ” “ Will you? ” “ Will I what? ” “ Take a case?"
mdp.39015063540788	You want to protect me? ” “ With all my heart. ” “ Then I'm not afraid. ” But I was, and showed it.
mdp.39015063540788	You've all got watches?

mdp.39015063540788	“ Alterations in the garden? ” he asked with anima- tion.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Am I hysterical? ” she asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ And after seeing your husband you only thought that he might be suffering from his wound?
mdp.39015063540788	“ And remember — you are looking for that bur- can or Colonial ceny night?
mdp.39015063540788	“ And the cupboard she opened would be made by the space occupied by the old window? ” “ I see.
mdp.39015063540788	“ And the point is, whether we hated or loved him, we all think there is something unexplained and mys- terious about his death. ” “ Why?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ And you sometimes paid money into this account? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063540788	“ And you? ” “ Oh, the same horse, I suppose."
mdp.39015063540788	“ Any finger- prints? ” he asked with a knowl- edgeable air.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are n't we being rather intense about all this? ”"Everybody is intense when they get mixed up with Dan.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are n't you clever enough to guess? ” “ No, I do n't think I am."
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are you all right? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are you laughing? ” He was quick to take offence.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are you riding too, Dr. Jerrold? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are you sure you do n't mean to be an acrobat in- stead? ” asked Simon.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Are you'urt, sir? ” Brade brushed some straw from his coat.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Bless you, how do you know?
mdp.39015063540788	“ But do you like it? ” It was the strangest room I had ever seen.
mdp.39015063540788	“ But how does this bear on the case?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ But they do n't, do they, Sir Ralph? ” Carne- Hilton looked annoyed.
mdp.39015063540788	“ But this — what does it mean? ” Of course I thought of the coin Danvers Carne had lost.
mdp.39015063540788	“ But what am I to say to her? ” I ejaculated when Colman had gone.
mdp.39015063540788	“ But whom shall we get?
mdp.39015063540788	“ But, my dear, that agreeable creature?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Can you explain? ” Sir Ralph straightened out his leg as if it hurt him.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Can you remember the way? ” I called as we gal- loped on.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Certain. ” “ Do you want to talk to me? ” Furness turned to me.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Could Dr. Jerrold speak to Lady Carne- Hilton's maid a moment? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Dan? ” cried Mimi.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Did Sir Ralph tell you the truth? ” she asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Did he look as peaceful as this when he was found? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Did he tell you about Dan and me? ” “ He told me a little.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Did he tell you about this? ” She drew out of her bag a legal- looking envelope and held it towards me.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Did n't Billiam tell you? ” “ He said you both fell off. ” “ Nothing about potato- sacks?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Did n't Billiam tell you? ” “ He said you both fell off. ” “ Nothing about potato- sacks?"

mdp.39015063540788	“ Do I sound like it? ” “ You sound more than ordinarily feeble, if that's what you mean.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you know anything about that, Mr. Revel? ” asked Brade.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you know how it happened?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you seriously imply that Dan was guilty of some sort of underhand work- black- mail, in fact?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you think it was murder? ”"I have no idea, Lady Caroline.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you understand now? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you want to know anything else? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Do you want to see anyone else? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Does n't anybody ever come'ere? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Does the doctor agree that such a weapon might have killed Dan? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Drink?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Footprints? ” 138 “ Yes, plenty of footprints,"I replied.
mdp.39015063540788	“ For instance, why have you so completely forgotten those hunts with the South Lodesdale Hounds when you were an under- graduate?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Good- bye, Mrs. Carne, I must go. ” “ But you'll come back with Mr. Brade? ” She put her hand in mine.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Have a drink? ” he said sociably.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Have you any reason for being especially fright- ened now?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Have you found her? ” “ How did you know? ”"I was working in my room, and I heard you go out.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Have you found her? ” “ How did you know? ”"I was working in my room, and I heard you go out.
mdp.39015063540788	“ He said so. ” “ Did you get anything else? ” “ Well, there was Mrs. Danvers Carne's story.
mdp.39015063540788	“ How did he know that you were concerned in this? ” “ But I'm not. ” “ Mrs.

mdp.39015063540788	“ How should I know? ” “ I think you do.
mdp.39015063540788	“ I suppose you've talked to Tim Revel? ”, “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	“ I thought it was all settled like, about the poor gentleman? ” she said eagerly.
mdp.39015063540788	“ I thought you'd do it for me. ”"Do n't you see that I like you?
mdp.39015063540788	“ I will see him hanged. ”"Sir Ralph, ” said Brade,"are you willing to have me ask your wife certain questions before the persons here?
mdp.39015063540788	“ I? ” “ Yes, you."
mdp.39015063540788	“ Inquest?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Is he worse? ” she cried.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Is it my turn? ” she asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Is that all? ”"For the moment, Sir Ralph.
mdp.39015063540788	“ It was Dan's idea, of course. ”"Really? ” She was silent.
mdp.39015063540788	“ It's Billiam. ” “ What? ”"Everybody's surprised at first.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Jerry, would you ask Lady Carne- Hilton to step this way?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Just so. ” “ But suppose I'm not asked?
mdp.39015063540788	“ May I ask your name?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ May I? ” Sir Ralph nodded.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Mimi, my dear, you want this inquiry to take place? ” “ There is no other way, Aunt Caro."
mdp.39015063540788	“ Most particular people like hand laundries. ” “ Why? ” I tried to explain.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Must I?
mdp.39015063540788	“ No issue ” — choice or accident?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Not Pink Livery? ” “ What do you mean? ” “ I mean this.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Not Pink Livery? ” “ What do you mean? ” “ I mean this.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Not more than a dozen good fellows I know. ” “ Drugs?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Now then, Jerry, darling, live up to your character! ” “ What is it you're looking for? ” I asked the lad.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Now, who had the chance to get those gloves out of the car?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Or am I right to be alarmed? ” I considered her for a moment.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Otway? ”"You saw him for yourself. ” “ Do you like him?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Otway? ”"You saw him for yourself. ” “ Do you like him?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Please, ma'am, if I could wash my face? ” he said to Lady Caroline.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Shall I stay? ” asked Lady Carne- Hilton.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Simon,"I said, as we walked back to the road, “ what do you make of this? ” “ Just one thing, Jerry.
mdp.39015063540788	“ So she might! ” “ You mean she may have some reason to suspect him?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Something to drink? ” His hand went towards the bell.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Thank you, mademoiselle,"I remarked, “ but I only wanted to see you about your mistress. ” “ There are no questions then, sir?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ That is true. ” “ Will you give me the names of the persons? ” “ No, certainly not.
mdp.39015063540788	“ The result, sir, is that the boot I placed in the track exactly fitted it. ” “ Whose boot? ” I exclaimed.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Then will you get him?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Then you do n't? ” “ No, ” shouted the boy.
mdp.39015063540788	“ There's a twist somewhere. ” “ What are you going to do now? ” “ Talk to Sir Ralph a little.
mdp.39015063540788	“ There's no time to lose. ” “ What kind of a case? ” “ I do n't know.
mdp.39015063540788	“ They are the ones who demand an inquiry, then? ” “ Well, not altogether.
mdp.39015063540788	“ They were fond of him? ” “ They thought the world of him.
mdp.39015063540788	“ To a patient of mine. ” “ Female? ” he inquired innocently.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Vicious, sir! ” he exclaimed, indignantly; “ Sarah vicious?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Was that the Open Handicap at Midley in April'29? ” I asked boldly.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Was this neces- sary?
mdp.39015063540788	“ We have been talk- ing to Otway and so has Tim Revel. ” “ Have they any further grounds for suspicion? ” Mimi spoke.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What about that, Jerry? ” my hostess asked, slyly.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What are you going to do? ” she asked directly.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What are you here for anyway? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What did you do then? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What did you expect? ”"Some sort of public disgrace.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you mean by that, Lady Caroline? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you mean? ” “ Exactly what I say, for once!
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you mean? ” “ Was Carne a saint or a villain?
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you mean? ” “ Was Carne a saint or a villain?
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you say, Mimi? ” “ Yes, oh, yes.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you think of it? ” “ It is very interesting,"I answered.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What do you want to know, Mr. Brade? ” “ All about it, dear lady, please.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What does it have to do with the case, anyway?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ What d’you mean? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What good do you think I can do, Otway?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ What have you done? ” she demanded shrilly.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What is it, Dr. Jerrold?
mdp.39015063540788	“ What is missing? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What time will you want me, sir?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ What's his name? ” drawled Brade.
mdp.39015063540788	“ What's to be done? ” Furness asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ When did Otway bring in his horse? ” “ Almost the same time as Mrs. Carne, or a bit be- fore.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Where did you find it? ” “ In Lady Carne- Hilton's cupboard, ” said Brade.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Where is Otway? ” she demanded hysterically.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Where is Revel?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Where?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Who could know — except Barnet or Revel? ” “ Obvious — who?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Who could know — except Barnet or Revel? ” “ Obvious — who?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Who else in your party would have noticed that? ” asked Brade, with more eagerness than I had seen him display.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Who is there?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why did you burn the glove? ” “ To shield my husband, ” she said.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why did your uncles alter their wills? ” “ I gather that some information reached them.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why do you say that? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why not dance?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why not speak to Sir Ralph? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why should Mimi suffer more than she has suffered already?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why should n't a horse commit murder? ” she asked, in her high- pitched voice.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why, all of us who were there, I suppose- Furness, Revel, Mimi. ” “ Furness was riding with the field then? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why? ” “ Well, you've heard about the horse.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Why?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will he die?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will someone ring the police station? ” Carne- Hilton asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will you believe me, Dr. Jerrold?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will you look? ” “ Of course I will."
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will you sit down? ” asked Sir Ralph with some- 96 what stiff courtesy.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will you take me to the cellar? ” I asked, more to gain time for thought than for any other reason.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will you tell the jury exactly what happened? ” The young man paused.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Will you try one, Sir Ralph?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Would you tell us just what happened? ” “ Yes, sir, I'll be pleased to.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Would you very much object to going back to Mar- pen now? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Yes, sir, that's the way Otway went, ” Jennings answered, “ across that field, straight to the stables. ” way?
mdp.39015063540788	“ Yes. ” “ And that women are capable of doing a great deal for the men they love? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Yes. ” “ You'd do anything to shield her? ” “ Yes. ” 245 “ By anything, I mean anything, ” he said fiercely.
mdp.39015063540788	“ Yes?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You ai n't the detective, are yer? ” Billiam regarded him.
mdp.39015063540788	“ You are worried about this case? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063540788	“ You ca n't understand?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You carried out your instructions? ” suggested the Colonel encouragingly.
mdp.39015063540788	“ You have given me a very definite idea of him, Mr. Revel. ” “ Then can you understand how I feel?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You see?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You suspect Mrs. Danvers Carne and Furness? ” “ Mimi is a fine woman in her way.
mdp.39015063540788	“ You tried to take her to the edge of the chalk- pit? ” 221"Yes, sir, but would she?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You tried to take her to the edge of the chalk- pit? ” 221"Yes, sir, but would she?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You were playing robbers on your way back from school, I suppose? ” I said as casually as I could.
mdp.39015063540788	“ You will, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063540788	“ You're basing your whole theory on a child's evi- dence?"
mdp.39015063540788	“ You're certain you saw this man, Mimi? ” asked Carne- Hilton.
mdp.39015083421969	A brown overcoat. ”Had he a whip in his hand?"
mdp.39015083421969	And that is?
mdp.39015083421969	And when will that be?
mdp.39015083421969	Are you- are you sure of this piece of intelli- gence?
mdp.39015083421969	But why did you stand all this?' mdp.39015083421969 By the way,"I asked suddenly, stopping and turning upon Stamford, “ how the deuce did he know that I had come from Afghanistan?"
mdp.39015083421969	Did you never ask him what he was going in for?
mdp.39015083421969	Do you include violin playing in your category of rows?

mdp.39015083421969	What was he doing during that time?' mdp.39015083421969 When did you go to bed?'
mdp.39015083421969	When shall we see them?
mdp.39015083421969	Would he not consider it as too dangerous?

mdp.39015083421969	Above all, why should the second man write up the German word RACHE before de- camping?
mdp.39015083421969	And was that the last which you saw of him?'
mdp.39015083421969	And what is the result?
mdp.39015083421969	Are they blood stains, or mud stains, or rust stains, or fruit stains, or what are they?
mdp.39015083421969	As far as I know he is a decent fellow enough. ”"A medical student, I suppose?"
mdp.39015083421969	At what o'clock did Mr. Drebber leave your house for the train?"
mdp.39015083421969	But why A STUDY IN SCARLET 67 should he come back to the house after leaving it?
mdp.39015083421969	But, on the other hand, whose blood was that which lay so thickly upon the floor?
mdp.39015083421969	Can you give me his name and address? ” Lestrade glanced at his note- book.
mdp.39015083421969	Can you name the man who did it?"
mdp.39015083421969	Could you lay your hand upon those pills?"
mdp.39015083421969	Had they carried back both of his companions with them?
mdp.39015083421969	Have you found it, Wiggins? ”"No, sir, we hain't,"said one of the youths.
mdp.39015083421969	Have you managed to find the secretary, Mr. Joseph Stangerson?"
mdp.39015083421969	Have you seen the evening paper? ”"No."
mdp.39015083421969	How are you? ” he said cordially, gripping my hand with a strength for which I should hardly have given him credit.
mdp.39015083421969	How came the woman's ring there?
mdp.39015083421969	How came these two men- if there were two men- into an empty house?
mdp.39015083421969	How could I meet this friend of yours?"
mdp.39015083421969	How could one man compel another to take poison?
mdp.39015083421969	How long will it be first?"
mdp.39015083421969	How much money have you?"
mdp.39015083421969	I guess that's about the size of it. ” “ Why did n't you say so before?"
mdp.39015083421969	I might not have gone but for you, and so have missed the finest study I ever came across: a study in scarlet, eh?

mdp.39015083421969	It is just as well it does not. ”"Why?"
mdp.39015083421969	No answer?

mdp.39015083421969	Shall I ever forget the look which came over his face when the first warning pangs told him that the poison was in his system?
mdp.39015083421969	So you actually were not able to see that that man was a sergeant of Marines?"
mdp.39015083421969	That brought Murcher and two more to the spot. ” “ Was the street empty then?"
mdp.39015083421969	That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why?

mdp.39015083421969	What did you do next? ” Rance resumed his seat, without, however, losing his mystified expression.
mdp.39015083421969	What do you think of it, sir?"
mdp.39015083421969	What do you think of that?"
mdp.39015083421969	What has become of the cabman who drove them?
mdp.39015083421969	What have you to confess now?
mdp.39015083421969	What strength of courage could avail against an enemy armed with such mysterious powers?
mdp.39015083421969	What the deuce is it to me?"
mdp.39015083421969	What was the object of the murderer, since robbery had no part in it?
mdp.39015083421969	What would he do then?
mdp.39015083421969	What's the matter?
mdp.39015083421969	Where did the blood come from?
mdp.39015083421969	Where, then, could the driver be, unless he were inside the house?

mdp.39015083421969	“ He has not been moved at all? ” he asked.
mdp.39015083421969	“ His face- his dress — didn't you notice them?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ How in the world did you deduce that?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ How on earth did you know that?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ If this man was murdered, how was it done?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ May I ask, my lad, ” I said, in the blandest voice, “ what your trade may be?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ Mean?
mdp.39015083421969	“ My dear fellow, what does it matter to me?
mdp.39015083421969	“ Nor Lestrade?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ Now, Doctor,"turning to me,"are those ordinary pills?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ Oh, you can leave me to deal with him then, Have you any arms?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ Surely there is not a moment to be lost,"I cried;"shall I go and order you a cab?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ There is no clue? ” said Gregson.
mdp.39015083421969	“ Uni- form away for repairs. ” “ And you were? ” I asked, with a slightly mali- cious glance at my companion.
mdp.39015083421969	“ What are we to do?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ What did you do that for? ” Rance gave a violent jump, and stared at Sher- Calamusops"JOHN RAN ANCE SPRANG TO HIS FEET WITH A FRIGHTENED FACE."
mdp.39015083421969	“ What do you mean? ” The constable's features broadened into a grin."
mdp.39015083421969	“ What do you think of that? ”"It seems to be a very delicate test,"I re- marked.
mdp.39015083421969	“ What happened next? ”"When Mrs. Charpentier paused, ” the detective continued, “ I saw that the whole case hung upon one point.
mdp.39015083421969	“ What on earth is this?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ What sort of a man was he?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ What would ye think of offering up prayer?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ Who is the printer? ” Philippe de Croy, whoever he may have been.
mdp.39015083421969	“ Why do n't you say some yourself?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ Would you mind letting us know what you have seen and done?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ You are sure that there is no wound? ” he asked, pointing to numerous gouts and splashes of blood which lay all round.
mdp.39015083421969	“ You did n't happen to see or hear a cab after that?"
mdp.39015083421969	“ You wish me to come?"
mdp.39015083421969	“"Do you remember what Darwin says about music?
mdp.39015083421969	• Where was you hid to see all that? ” he cried.
mdp.39015079181403	Ah, John, why are we not free to sail away over these waves together, and leave all our troubles behind us on the shore?
mdp.39015079181403	And had he these nervous attacks then? ”Occasionally; but not nearly so acutely.
mdp.39015079181403	And how about Gabriel and Mrs. Heather- stone?
mdp.39015079181403	And what are the troubles which you would leave behind you, dear one?
mdp.39015079181403	But might I ask you what the nature of the danger is which you apprehend?
mdp.39015079181403	But why does he do it, Gabriel?
mdp.39015079181403	But why does he not apply to the magistrates for protection?
mdp.39015079181403	By the way, dearest, why is it that you light up all your rooms at night? ”You have noticed it, then? ” she said.
mdp.39015079181403	By the way, dearest, why is it that you light up all your rooms at night? ”You have noticed it, then? ” she said.
mdp.39015079181403	Ca n't a gentleman live quietly without your coming to peep and pry? mdp.39015079181403 Could n't you manage to slip down at times and have a smoke with me?
mdp.39015079181403	Did n't I tell you?
mdp.39015079181403	Do n't you take opium, or brandy, or nothing yourself, sir?
mdp.39015079181403	Have you ever heard,I asked,"that these higher priests of whom you speak have powers which are unknown to us?"
mdp.39015079181403	How have I been?
mdp.39015079181403	However did he get there?
mdp.39015079181403	Is it not magnificent?
mdp.39015079181403	Is this your promise? mdp.39015079181403 Na,"says “ Nor read? ”"Na,"says I.
mdp.39015079181403	Now can you hear anything?
mdp.39015079181403	Oh, you think so?
mdp.39015079181403	What do you want with me, then?
mdp.39015079181403	What is it tae us if a wraith or a bogle chooses tae tak'a fancy tae Cloomber? mdp.39015079181403 What is it you want, and why have you brought this fel- low with you?"
mdp.39015079181403	What is it, Esther, dear?
mdp.39015079181403	What is it?
mdp.39015079181403	Where then?
mdp.39015079181403	Why ill- fated, sir?
mdp.39015079181403	Why, bless the girl! ” cried I, boisterously,what is the matter?
mdp.39015079181403	Why, papa, however came you to know any- thing about him?
mdp.39015079181403	You appear to be in an inquisitive humor this after- noon- what is the object of all these questions? mdp.39015079181403 'Where have they gone? mdp.39015079181403 107 my watch, and what did they do when them chaps come aboard? mdp.39015079181403 141Are they a vindictive class of people?"
mdp.39015079181403	147 coring your father?
mdp.39015079181403	17 might walk through these country lanes at night, I dare say, and never meet a soul, eh?''
mdp.39015079181403	And first of all just unlock this gate, will you?
mdp.39015079181403	And how have you been, eh? ” “ We have been very busy for one thing, ” said I.
mdp.39015079181403	And if the danger was a positive physical one, why should he not consent to my proposal to have the three men placed under my custody?
mdp.39015079181403	And my daughter?
mdp.39015079181403	And why was it not Sanscrit?
mdp.39015079181403	Are you in dread of these Hindoos?
mdp.39015079181403	Are you lit?
mdp.39015079181403	But is n't this him coming down the ave- nue?"
mdp.39015079181403	But we will be better to- morrow- we will be different men to- morrow, eh, corporal?"
mdp.39015079181403	But who is this?"
mdp.39015079181403	Did ever you hear of such a thing?"
mdp.39015079181403	Did he tell you anything about me before I came?"
mdp.39015079181403	Did he welcome these dread forces of nature as being of the same order of things as his own tumultuous thoughts?
mdp.39015079181403	Did you see them standing on the poop and rolling cigarettes at the time when the mizzen was carried away and the quarter boats stove?
mdp.39015079181403	D’ye remem- ber at Chillianwallah, when you had to run from your guns to our square, and the Sikh horse came thundering down on our bayonets?
mdp.39015079181403	Esther, what should I do?"
mdp.39015079181403	For what is science?
mdp.39015079181403	Have our Eastern neighbors aroused your curi- osity or suspicion in any way?"
mdp.39015079181403	Have you no business of your own to look after, eh?
mdp.39015079181403	He looked hard at me wi'a pair o'een that glowed like twa spunks, and then he says, saye he, “ You've been born in these pairts, I understan'?"
mdp.39015079181403	How can I help him?
mdp.39015079181403	How could one describe a calculating machine to an audience unfamiliar with the simplest mechanical contrivances and knowing nothing of arithmetic?
mdp.39015079181403	How have you all been keeping?"
mdp.39015079181403	How have you been all these long years?"
mdp.39015079181403	How long am I to endure it?"
mdp.39015079181403	How will that suit ye?"
mdp.39015079181403	I ought to get a step for it, anyhow, and perhaps, who knows?
mdp.39015079181403	I've watched her walkin?
mdp.39015079181403	If anything of the sort should occur I suppose I might reckon upon your assist- ance?"
mdp.39015079181403	Is it not all peaceful and beautiful?
mdp.39015079181403	Is it not enough that my life has been ruined?
mdp.39015079181403	It wellnigh blew us under the guns o'the forts, for all our engines and propellers. ”"Have you ever known a wreck in these parts?"
mdp.39015079181403	Just look at the top o'that'ere hillock, and tell me whether I was in the right or not?"
mdp.39015079181403	Not many tinkers or tramps or rascally gypsies- no vermin of that sort about?"
mdp.39015079181403	Now what would you consider to be a proof o'madness, Mr. West? ” “ Why, offering a blank check to a Wigtown house- agent,"said I.
mdp.39015079181403	Shall I ride into Wigtown and arouse the police?"
mdp.39015079181403	The Bible is an Eastern book, and is it not full of the record of such powers from cover to cover?
mdp.39015079181403	The old Hall has not gone on fire, surely?
mdp.39015079181403	They have been called away?'
mdp.39015079181403	West?"
mdp.39015079181403	West?"
mdp.39015079181403	What are these hints and allusions and innuendoes?
mdp.39015079181403	What are those lights away yonder by the avenue gates?"
mdp.39015079181403	What can we do to reverse the tremen- dous and unknown laws which are acting against us?
mdp.39015079181403	What could Hannibal or Caesar have done more?
mdp.39015079181403	What d'ye think they come ashore for except to escape having all the feathers blown out o'them?
mdp.39015079181403	What did Gabriel think of the storm, and how did it af- fect the old man who wandered about in the night?
mdp.39015079181403	What did they want to have a chart o'their own for and to mark the course of the vessel every day?"
mdp.39015079181403	What has upset you so?"
mdp.39015079181403	What is it you fear?
mdp.39015079181403	What is the meaning of it?"
mdp.39015079181403	What shall I fill it up for?
mdp.39015079181403	What was going on in the Hall now, I wondered?
mdp.39015079181403	When is it all to end?
mdp.39015079181403	Who can compare with us as vermin killers?
mdp.39015079181403	Why is their house lit up like this every night?
mdp.39015079181403	Why will you not let me rescue you from it?
mdp.39015079181403	Why wo n't you allow me to go straight and ask the general for your hand?
mdp.39015079181403	Will ye not come in, Mr. West, and have a taste o'my whisky?'
mdp.39015079181403	Would he hold on?
mdp.39015079181403	Would he regard this sudden tempest as being in any way connected with the mysterious fate which threatened him?
mdp.39015079181403	You assure me that the peril is not con- nected with your father's health? ” “ No, I am sure of that.
mdp.39015079181403	and what have you been trying to squeeze out of her?
mdp.39015079181403	come a little walk with me? ” I could see by her manner that something had agitated or frightened her.
mdp.39015079181403	how came you to know anything of her?
mdp.39015079181403	me?
mdp.39015079181403	or would he turn down to Branksome?
mdp.39015079181403	you would know that it was an appeal for help, and would hurry up immediately, even if it were in the dead of the night?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ And you are not much troubled with vagrants or wandering beggars, eh?
mdp.39015079181403	“ And your sister? ”"She has never been out either, ” he answered.
mdp.39015079181403	“ Can we not bring them down from the Hall at once?
mdp.39015079181403	“ Did n't I tell you?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ Did n't I warn you what would be the up- shot o'having those niggers on board the'Belinda?
mdp.39015079181403	“ Do I understand you to say,"said I,"that you attribute your misfortunes to your ill- fated pas- sengers?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ Do you hear nothing?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ Do you know the name o'this bay in which we are cast away?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ How are you, Mr. Fothergill West? ” he cried.
mdp.39015079181403	“ I suppose you have heard nothing of the great shipwreck?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ May I not know them, and help you to bear them?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ Never been oot o'Scotland? ” he speers.
mdp.39015079181403	“ Well, my lad, ” I said, affecting an ease which I by no means felt, “ what can I do for you this morning?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ What is this, McNeil? ” I heard him say, in a gasping, choking voice.
mdp.39015079181403	“ What the devil brought you here, then? ” he asked in a more composed voice, putting his weapon back into his bosom.
mdp.39015079181403	“ What would I be doin'at the Hole o'Cree?
mdp.39015079181403	“ What — what d'ye mean?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ What, you here, Mr. West? ” he said, as his eye fell upon me.
mdp.39015079181403	“ Who were they?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ Who would imagine that three men lost their lives last night in those very waters? ”"Poor fellows,"said the captain, with feeling.
mdp.39015079181403	“ With a little quinine and arsenic we shall very soon overcome the attack and restore his health. ”"No danger, eh?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ You have been there then?"
mdp.39015079181403	“ You have met them? ” “ I know of them.
mdp.39015079181403	“ You think there is going to be a storm, then? ” I asked.
mdp.39015079181403	“'What am I to do?'
mdp.39015063942844	/ say such a thing? mdp.39015063942844 About her searching your room this morning?"
mdp.39015063942844	After she left, you think that Lady Revell came and killed my son? mdp.39015063942844 All of them?"
mdp.39015063942844	And his supper was eaten when?
mdp.39015063942844	And is there any stamp of great value to be found among Italian stamps?
mdp.39015063942844	And now are you going to prove that she shot my boy?
mdp.39015063942844	And now, what do we do?
mdp.39015063942844	And the text you chose?
mdp.39015063942844	And these two places where the branches have been badly pinched? mdp.39015063942844 And what about John?"
mdp.39015063942844	And what about these missing stamps, sir? mdp.39015063942844 And what did you think of the Gartsides?"
mdp.39015063942844	And where was Sir Hubert last night, sir?
mdp.39015063942844	And who inherited Mr. Revell's money and estate?
mdp.39015063942844	And why should I have the paper, or papers?
mdp.39015063942844	And you did n't write to him to meet you there?
mdp.39015063942844	And you let me take her on?
mdp.39015063942844	And you say she wanted all her letters? mdp.39015063942844 And you think his heart may have been affected?"
mdp.39015063942844	And you think the rector's death?
mdp.39015063942844	And you're not?
mdp.39015063942844	And your own portrait?
mdp.39015063942844	Anything here?
mdp.39015063942844	Are you sure that it was n't an accident?
mdp.39015063942844	Back? mdp.39015063942844 Bad as that?"
mdp.39015063942844	Bad news? mdp.39015063942844 Bonny Scotland?"
mdp.39015063942844	But Miss Hill — where does she come in?
mdp.39015063942844	But above all, will will you let me know the instant such a stamp should be offered?
mdp.39015063942844	But how? mdp.39015063942844 But that island has come a lot nearer now that Anthony Revell's dead and Gilbert Revell reigns in his stead?"
mdp.39015063942844	But what does she mean about not having had Dick's last letter? mdp.39015063942844 But what papers could the rector have that were of any interest to any one but himself?"
mdp.39015063942844	But what's happened?
mdp.39015063942844	But who could have done such a thing? mdp.39015063942844 But why have you left it so late to bring the accusation?"
mdp.39015063942844	But you think?
mdp.39015063942844	But — do you really want her as your secretary?
mdp.39015063942844	By the way, did either of them ask specifically for any of the things?
mdp.39015063942844	By'any one'you mean Miss Hill?
mdp.39015063942844	Byrd? mdp.39015063942844 Ca n't you help us clear up the mystery — for there is one — about how the rector met his end?"
mdp.39015063942844	Care to come with us?
mdp.39015063942844	Chief Inspector Pointer? mdp.39015063942844 Clues to The Causeway treasure?"
mdp.39015063942844	Come, Olive,Mrs. Avery went on sharply,"be sensible, and tell us what you are looking for?
mdp.39015063942844	Coming? mdp.39015063942844 Connection?
mdp.39015063942844	Could he have learnt something on the way to church which altered things?
mdp.39015063942844	Could the rector have misunderstood you?
mdp.39015063942844	Did Mr. Revell offer to let you have his revolver for the way back?
mdp.39015063942844	Did he collect stamps?
mdp.39015063942844	Did he know about Mr. Revell's owning any Sicilian stamps?
mdp.39015063942844	Did it take Mrs. Green long to varnish these?
mdp.39015063942844	Did she say anything about the sermon?
mdp.39015063942844	Did they get away with whatever they were after?
mdp.39015063942844	Did they look for any length of time before selecting their souvenirs?
mdp.39015063942844	Did you hear anything about that wonderful Sicilian stamp from Sir Hubert Witson, sir?
mdp.39015063942844	Did you hear anything from inside the room?
mdp.39015063942844	Did you say Miss Hill is house- hunting?
mdp.39015063942844	Do n't they ring?
mdp.39015063942844	Do n't you suppose I watched your face when that sermon of his got under weigh?
mdp.39015063942844	Do n't you think that a cup of good red wine is comforting?
mdp.39015063942844	Do you think the rector could have got to hear of the gossip about Lady Witson being there that night?
mdp.39015063942844	Do you think they knew the real reason then, whatever it was?
mdp.39015063942844	Do you think this affair at the rectory was an inside affair, Pointer?
mdp.39015063942844	Do you want me?
mdp.39015063942844	Forgive my plain speaking, but is this your imagination? mdp.39015063942844 Had her pleasure ever taken her into the smoking- room where the painted panels are?"
mdp.39015063942844	Had you seen the paintings before they were varnished?
mdp.39015063942844	Hampson's given notice? mdp.39015063942844 Have I the mark of the beast on my forehead?"
mdp.39015063942844	Have you spilled some out, or what?
mdp.39015063942844	He could n't have learnt about it, surely, and have shot himself on that account? mdp.39015063942844 He is very like the portrait, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063942844	He or she,repeated Weir- Opie,"which, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063942844	His stamp collection?
mdp.39015063942844	His?
mdp.39015063942844	How did you know that?
mdp.39015063942844	How do you mean?
mdp.39015063942844	How long would it have taken to kill him, do you think?
mdp.39015063942844	I do hope you will let the marriage take place from here, Jack?
mdp.39015063942844	I had no idea that you cared for poor Anthony like thisMYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 31"Anthony?"
mdp.39015063942844	I suppose he would often do that?
mdp.39015063942844	I suppose it could n't have been suicide?
mdp.39015063942844	I wondered whether by any chance he would have the ring he meant to give you at the house? mdp.39015063942844 I'll make you the offer in writing, if you like?"
mdp.39015063942844	If you know the country, ca n't you make a guess as to the place?
mdp.39015063942844	Is Mrs. Green paying the whole purchase price of The Causeway in cash?
mdp.39015063942844	Is all her talk against Miss Hill just camouflage? mdp.39015063942844 Is it true that the rector's dead?"
mdp.39015063942844	John's sermon?
mdp.39015063942844	Like? mdp.39015063942844 Like?"
mdp.39015063942844	Look here,Merton said,"you do n't think — you're not here to go into Revell's death, are you?
mdp.39015063942844	May I ask what the value of another example would be? mdp.39015063942844 Mr. Byrd will have to sail without you?"
mdp.39015063942844	Mrs. Green? mdp.39015063942844 Mrs. Richard was looking for something, was n't she?"
mdp.39015063942844	My dear girl, you may be able to keep the necklace part dark, but Anthony's and the rector's murder? mdp.39015063942844 No need to worry about telling poor Anthony now, and you would have had to tell him""How did you know that something had happened to him?"
mdp.39015063942844	No? mdp.39015063942844 Nor does he look the part?"
mdp.39015063942844	Not washed yet? mdp.39015063942844 Notes for a sermon?"
mdp.39015063942844	Now as to the women at the rectory, what did you think of them?
mdp.39015063942844	Now, Miss Hill,the Chief Constable went on,"had he any valuables in the house?
mdp.39015063942844	Of the Fettiplaces'treasure?
mdp.39015063942844	Olive Hill?
mdp.39015063942844	Olive seen it?
mdp.39015063942844	Olive's to have a fresh chance? mdp.39015063942844 Or have n't you come across her yet?"
mdp.39015063942844	Or is Merton right — and did Anthony take to flight?
mdp.39015063942844	Really? mdp.39015063942844 Really?
mdp.39015063942844	Really? mdp.39015063942844 Red for whom?
mdp.39015063942844	Revell?
mdp.39015063942844	Same paper in fact as the rector makes out his sermon notes on?
mdp.39015063942844	See those marks, sir?
mdp.39015063942844	Shall you mind coming too? mdp.39015063942844 Since you think he had you in his mind when he preached his last sermon?"
mdp.39015063942844	So you were in the house when you met Mr. Revell? mdp.39015063942844 Some people would say ill- luck went with that gift, would n't they?"
mdp.39015063942844	Some woman who did n't want him to marry Miss Hill?
mdp.39015063942844	Stamps, eh? mdp.39015063942844 Such as'Showed these stamps to Witson the other day,'eh, sir?"
mdp.39015063942844	That splendid but very searching sermon?
mdp.39015063942844	The orange tobacco jar with the stamps in it?
mdp.39015063942844	The other servants?
mdp.39015063942844	There are no directions in it, I suppose, that any one would want postponed?
mdp.39015063942844	There was no second tray, so, if so, it would be some one the rector would n't expect to have eat with him?
mdp.39015063942844	They seemed to me reliable enough,Merton said,"but of course you have to be suspicious, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942844	To'the Street called Straight'?
mdp.39015063942844	Want to look round here? mdp.39015063942844 Was it in his sleep?
mdp.39015063942844	Was that what he meant by Sunday's sermon?
mdp.39015063942844	Well,Grace said, closing the door,"did you think that Olive acted to Lucy Revell as to her ali- but mother- in- law?
mdp.39015063942844	Well? mdp.39015063942844 Well?"
mdp.39015063942844	Well?
mdp.39015063942844	Were the lights on?
mdp.39015063942844	Were you at morning service yesterday?
mdp.39015063942844	What about the ladies? mdp.39015063942844 What awful thing has come to us?"
mdp.39015063942844	What could I do? mdp.39015063942844 What did the rector reply?"
mdp.39015063942844	What did you talk about?
mdp.39015063942844	What did you think of Miss Hill?
mdp.39015063942844	What difficulties are there about Mr. Revell having written a very suggestive message on the 142 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY same page as the list?
mdp.39015063942844	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063942844	What do you say, Pointer?
mdp.39015063942844	What do you say?
mdp.39015063942844	What do you think of her as the writer of a possible letter giving Revell a rendezvous?
mdp.39015063942844	What does Mr. Byrd say about that idea?
mdp.39015063942844	What have you found?
mdp.39015063942844	What letters are these?
mdp.39015063942844	What of my daughters? mdp.39015063942844 What on earth have sermons to do with this?
mdp.39015063942844	What on earth? mdp.39015063942844 What put that idea into your head, Grace?"
mdp.39015063942844	What sort of paper was the list written on?
mdp.39015063942844	What was it that made the rector preach that sermon?
mdp.39015063942844	What was it, sir? mdp.39015063942844 What will be the first thing you do on returning to the rectory?"
mdp.39015063942844	What will that poor girl do? mdp.39015063942844 What's wrong with the etching?"
mdp.39015063942844	When did she start doing this?
mdp.39015063942844	When did you suspect Mrs. Richard Avery?
mdp.39015063942844	When is the inquest on Anthony to be held?
mdp.39015063942844	When was that? mdp.39015063942844 When you said last night that you were thinking about his sermon did you expect this?"
mdp.39015063942844	When? mdp.39015063942844 Where did you find that?
mdp.39015063942844	Where's Olive?
mdp.39015063942844	Which ones would you tap if you had them?
mdp.39015063942844	Who has been indiscreet?
mdp.39015063942844	Who told you that we were linking the two deaths?
mdp.39015063942844	Why did n't you immediately on hearing his sermon go and tell him all the truth, and let him use that knowledge as he wanted to?
mdp.39015063942844	Why did she paint all those pictures in the first place, if she was going to paint them all out?
mdp.39015063942844	Why do you want to know where he was on the night that Mr. Revell was shot?
mdp.39015063942844	Why must you rail at the Royal Family as you do? mdp.39015063942844 Why should a message have had to accompany the list?"
mdp.39015063942844	Why so?
mdp.39015063942844	Why would she know enough to keep this letter of Mrs. Richard Avery's to her husband, and fob her off with a copy?
mdp.39015063942844	Why, the sight of the stamp on the list was surely sufficient?
mdp.39015063942844	Will the friendship extend to Olive?
mdp.39015063942844	Would one not say so? mdp.39015063942844 Yes, but does the real mother suspect the sham mother, and is that why she hangs around the place?"
mdp.39015063942844	You ca n't date it nearer than that?
mdp.39015063942844	You do n't think — you have n't found anything — I mean, why do you think his death had anything to do with the rector's? mdp.39015063942844 You foresaw Miss Hill's danger when you left us on Saturday, I understand?"
mdp.39015063942844	You have no objection to my taking on Olive?
mdp.39015063942844	You know what Mrs. Green is saying?
mdp.39015063942844	You mean about the rector's having brought the wrong notes for it?
mdp.39015063942844	You suggest that the rector's death was n't an accident?
mdp.39015063942844	You think it was jealousy?
mdp.39015063942844	You think she recognised the voice?
mdp.39015063942844	You think she's not the one?
mdp.39015063942844	You think that was why she locked herself into that room at once?
mdp.39015063942844	You were here yesterday afternoon?
mdp.39015063942844	You're forgetting Gilbert Revell, are n't you?
mdp.39015063942844	You've heard about Byrd?
mdp.39015063942844	Your mind wandering to the fair damsel you've sent home to her parents?
mdp.39015063942844	to stop all questions? mdp.39015063942844 ''And you think that Miss Olive?
mdp.39015063942844	102 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY"Would the rector recognise the value of any rare stamp he found on the list?"
mdp.39015063942844	168 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY"And why did you not tell the police of this when they were inquiring into Mr. Revell's death?"
mdp.39015063942844	86 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY"Then where's the orange jar?"
mdp.39015063942844	A Bible reader?"
mdp.39015063942844	A drawn bow?
mdp.39015063942844	A jealous man — but would a jealous man summon Revell home, back to his own neighbourhood?
mdp.39015063942844	A letter written to Revell and found by the rector?
mdp.39015063942844	A sort of painted cipher?
mdp.39015063942844	Adding gravely, as her raised eyebrows and puzzled ex- pression continued to silently question his meaning,"Are you being quite fair to him, Doris?
mdp.39015063942844	Again, granted that the rector had never read it, and that's a lot to grant seeing that he had had it for nearly a month — What about Mr. Byrd?
mdp.39015063942844	And her story of 136 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY having left it in the study on a previous visit explains it, eh?"
mdp.39015063942844	And how did Mr. Revell come to be interested in stamps?
mdp.39015063942844	And if so, more than once?
mdp.39015063942844	And now what?"
mdp.39015063942844	And now, what of her new position, eh?"
mdp.39015063942844	And suppose the necklace to have been lying on the small occasional table that stood near him?
mdp.39015063942844	And that girl — How could he but take sham for real affection, he, who had never had any true love that he could remember?
mdp.39015063942844	And what about yourself?"
mdp.39015063942844	And what have you to go on?"
mdp.39015063942844	Anthony and the rector?
mdp.39015063942844	Any other discoveries?"
mdp.39015063942844	Anything that would especially attract thieves?"
mdp.39015063942844	Are they up yet?"
mdp.39015063942844	At the present time?"
mdp.39015063942844	Before he hurried off on his motor- cycle, Pointer asked briefly,"Everything here as usual?"
mdp.39015063942844	Before you look for the missing tobacco jar?"
mdp.39015063942844	But Mr. Avery, with the first sentence of his sermon already half spoken?"
mdp.39015063942844	But a wife?"
mdp.39015063942844	But after four weeks?
mdp.39015063942844	But here?
mdp.39015063942844	But now"—and Anthony's arms went round her —"I love you, and you only, and do you love me?"
mdp.39015063942844	But of course — if the Gartsides wanted it — and as he had n't made a new will""Some Italian stamps she wanted, I believe?"
mdp.39015063942844	But surely Mr. Avery would not have put her, or any woman, into a passion?
mdp.39015063942844	But tell me how you like my new covers, John?"
mdp.39015063942844	But were the pictures clues, do you think?"
mdp.39015063942844	But what brings you here?"
mdp.39015063942844	But what does it prove?
mdp.39015063942844	But what's behind her words?"
mdp.39015063942844	But what's to be done first, sir?
mdp.39015063942844	But when she kept silence he said very quietly,"And why did you intend to tell the rector?"
mdp.39015063942844	But where did the stamps come in?"
mdp.39015063942844	But where he went to in the meanwhile''"That's very important, surely?"
mdp.39015063942844	But where is Mrs. Green?
mdp.39015063942844	But why did n't he call for help or ring a bell?
mdp.39015063942844	But why?
mdp.39015063942844	But why?
mdp.39015063942844	CHAPTER EIGHT"And who was Revell and why was there an inquest on him?"
mdp.39015063942844	Can you help us clear up how it happened?"
mdp.39015063942844	Care to dash along with me?
mdp.39015063942844	Could the cat have got in?
mdp.39015063942844	Could there be any reason for so carefully hiding the jar if it had been broken?
mdp.39015063942844	Did anything usually stand on the right- hand end?"
mdp.39015063942844	Did she forget it, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063942844	Did she keep it by her as a warning not to let opportunity sUp?
mdp.39015063942844	Did they conceal a secret?"
mdp.39015063942844	Do n't they link the two deaths?"
mdp.39015063942844	Do you think Olive had an accident with the toadstool extract, too?"
mdp.39015063942844	Eh?"
mdp.39015063942844	Fairy tales from Grimm, I understand?"
mdp.39015063942844	From danger?
mdp.39015063942844	Funny little trifle that, ai n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063942844	Fury and revenge.... And what if that other woman had used Olive as a screen?
mdp.39015063942844	Good enough, eh?"
mdp.39015063942844	Grace, can you believe it?"
mdp.39015063942844	Green?"
mdp.39015063942844	Green?"
mdp.39015063942844	Green?"
mdp.39015063942844	Had Miss Hill cared for the younger brother, rather than for Byrd, as Shilling thought?
mdp.39015063942844	Had any of the visitors of last night had a talk with him?
mdp.39015063942844	Had he looked in on the rector?
mdp.39015063942844	Had it fallen and been broken in taking it hurriedly off the mantel when the stamps had been stolen after the death of the rector?
mdp.39015063942844	Had she gone to the rectory on Sunday night?
mdp.39015063942844	Had that been one of the things left them?
mdp.39015063942844	Had the poisoner triumphed?
mdp.39015063942844	Have you, sir?"
mdp.39015063942844	He asked if he might be allowed to ask the artist a question about the way in which she secured a certain afterglow effect?
mdp.39015063942844	I do n't know what's the right thing to do?"
mdp.39015063942844	I thought of you as still a captive in Damascus — or was it Ephesus?
mdp.39015063942844	If there is any fresh trouble between them?"
mdp.39015063942844	Is Anthony ill?
mdp.39015063942844	Is his stamp collection a good one?"
mdp.39015063942844	Is it certain?"
mdp.39015063942844	Is that text on Anthony's grave to stand?"
mdp.39015063942844	Is the doctor still here?
mdp.39015063942844	Is the young lady in?"
mdp.39015063942844	It's a letter, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063942844	Jealousy?
mdp.39015063942844	Just then, when she had had such a frightful shock?
mdp.39015063942844	Leaving stamps entirely alone for the moment, what other line of reasoning was there that might lead to the right answer?
mdp.39015063942844	MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 103"What is his reputation in the neighbourhood, sir?"
mdp.39015063942844	MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 127 room this morning before I was up?"
mdp.39015063942844	MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 139"Did Mr. Avery bring the stamps?"
mdp.39015063942844	MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 183"Do you think it was her to whom he talked later that night, for I've always had an idea you recog- nised two voices?
mdp.39015063942844	MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 47"Really?"
mdp.39015063942844	MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY 77"Will you let me have a word with you in another room?"
mdp.39015063942844	Not outside in the garden?"
mdp.39015063942844	Or had the rector's efforts at a hiding- place failed?
mdp.39015063942844	Or have you some private informa- tion?"
mdp.39015063942844	Or some un- guessed crime?
mdp.39015063942844	Or stagger into the hall?
mdp.39015063942844	Or that you did n't make a mistake?"
mdp.39015063942844	Or was it Olive herself?
mdp.39015063942844	Or was it?
mdp.39015063942844	Or?
mdp.39015063942844	People were saying that the rector had died in his sleep — heart failure — was there any truth in the dreadful rumour?
mdp.39015063942844	Pointer asked,"did you notice?"
mdp.39015063942844	Pointer doubted if 60 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY"Mysterious?
mdp.39015063942844	Pointer wondered if Revell had been doing something for her — tying her shoe- string — for instance?
mdp.39015063942844	Politics?"
mdp.39015063942844	Revell?"
mdp.39015063942844	See how it has blackened the fork?
mdp.39015063942844	See these bits of the name?
mdp.39015063942844	Shall we walk on now?"
mdp.39015063942844	Smith?"
mdp.39015063942844	So the motive had nothing to do with the stamps, nor with the question of Anthony's identity?"
mdp.39015063942844	So you think?"
mdp.39015063942844	Some crime committed in the past for which the wrong person had been punished?
mdp.39015063942844	Something very compelling — Would Sir Hubert be likely to start divorce proceedings easily?"
mdp.39015063942844	Stamps?
mdp.39015063942844	Surely it was after that that Miss Hill called?
mdp.39015063942844	Tell me, Mr. Pointer, you do n't really think that any one intended to poison my brother, do you?
mdp.39015063942844	That letter of mine from my husband that you found hidden away under the lining- paper of one of the drawers in the library, do you remember?"
mdp.39015063942844	That you were up, and at The Causeway the night that he was shot?"
mdp.39015063942844	The money?"
mdp.39015063942844	Then he asked if she knew about Revell's return to his house some time last night after ten o'clock?
mdp.39015063942844	Then who had been in the room?
mdp.39015063942844	Then why want the cumbersome china jar?
mdp.39015063942844	This gentleman here come down already about it?"
mdp.39015063942844	Though that's hard enough to explain, but not intention?"
mdp.39015063942844	Unofficially?
mdp.39015063942844	Unsolved?
mdp.39015063942844	Was it his heart.?"
mdp.39015063942844	Was that really why?"
mdp.39015063942844	Was that unusual?
mdp.39015063942844	Was that what you meant just now?
mdp.39015063942844	Was this that she had just told him to be taken literally, or was it exaggerated?
mdp.39015063942844	What Mrs. Green says does n't matter — but this — is this going to part us?"
mdp.39015063942844	What about Grace?
mdp.39015063942844	What are you hunting for all over the house?"
mdp.39015063942844	What else did Olive Hill want but the position?
mdp.39015063942844	What have you got to go on, eh?"
mdp.39015063942844	What in the world has happened?"
mdp.39015063942844	What is to be done?"
mdp.39015063942844	What of my father and mother?
mdp.39015063942844	What on earth did he own that could be worth a hunt, let alone a murder?"
mdp.39015063942844	What reason had con- strained the murderer, the quite averagely clever murderer, to put up with all its drawbacks?
mdp.39015063942844	What she's after — I wonder if it is that quite incredible tale of hidden treasure?
mdp.39015063942844	What was the link between this little place on the Lake of Geneva and The Causeway?
mdp.39015063942844	What, are you a psychic investigator?
mdp.39015063942844	What?
mdp.39015063942844	When was this?"
mdp.39015063942844	Where in Switzerland was there a cathedral town perched high above a big lake with such a range of mountains beyond it?
mdp.39015063942844	Where was she?
mdp.39015063942844	Where?"
mdp.39015063942844	Who brought in that tray there?"
mdp.39015063942844	Who gets his stamp collection?"
mdp.39015063942844	Who is Mr. Richard Avery, by the way, sir?"
mdp.39015063942844	Who would?"
mdp.39015063942844	Who's to analyse this stuff on the plate?
mdp.39015063942844	Why did all the pictures have to be obliterated?
mdp.39015063942844	Why had Revell returned home without a word to any one, or had it been without a word?
mdp.39015063942844	Why had it and, according to Joyce, all the other paintings too been done with such meticulous accuracy?
mdp.39015063942844	Why had some one been so close to her?
mdp.39015063942844	Why had the orange jar been taken away from the rectory study?
mdp.39015063942844	Why here?
mdp.39015063942844	Why should she have been to Switzer- land?"
mdp.39015063942844	Why was Lausanne chosen for the largest painting?
mdp.39015063942844	Why?
mdp.39015063942844	Why?"
mdp.39015063942844	Would she allow him to see, from it, what the view had once been?
mdp.39015063942844	Would she care to come in and have a look for it?
mdp.39015063942844	Would that be possible?"
mdp.39015063942844	Would the poisoner, flustered, hurried, terrified of detection, have been able to find what a really clever man had hidden?
mdp.39015063942844	You do n't mean —"her tone grew more shocked still —"that it happened at The Causeway?"
mdp.39015063942844	You do n't think she's in any sort of danger, do you?"
mdp.39015063942844	You heard him preach last Sunday, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063942844	You looked up her financial standing, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942844	You never loved him, never I""Told them what?
mdp.39015063942844	You remember at the inquest that was spoken of, sir?"
mdp.39015063942844	g6 MYSTERY AT THE RECTORY"What stamps were kept in it, do you know at all?"
mdp.39015063942844	she repeated in a tone of in- credulity,"how can it be the rector, Fraser?
mdp.39015063924008	A miser?
mdp.39015063924008	A widow?
mdp.39015063924008	Ah — but which one? mdp.39015063924008 Ah — then Ellen Maury aided you in your choice?"
mdp.39015063924008	Ah — then you have searched for them?
mdp.39015063924008	Ah, enemies, then?
mdp.39015063924008	Ah, then it did not take you long to put up the car?
mdp.39015063924008	Ah, then you saw Countess Zichy and her Hun- garian dance troupe?
mdp.39015063924008	An unhappy married life?
mdp.39015063924008	And Aunt Polly?
mdp.39015063924008	And Count Erdody,asked Wilson,"what be- came of him?"
mdp.39015063924008	And his is the only set?
mdp.39015063924008	And how did you get hold of the keys to 13 Thirteenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	And in what direction did the gentleman go?
mdp.39015063924008	And later, Colonel Campbell?
mdp.39015063924008	And that was the last you saw of Countess Zichy?
mdp.39015063924008	And the miniature which was on your chest of drawers Sunday morning? mdp.39015063924008 And then?"
mdp.39015063924008	And these persons —?
mdp.39015063924008	And this Peter Clemens —?
mdp.39015063924008	And this will made you residuary legatee?
mdp.39015063924008	And what killed her?
mdp.39015063924008	And what, in your opinion, brought about this change?
mdp.39015063924008	And when did you notice the change in her?
mdp.39015063924008	And where did you hide the bag?
mdp.39015063924008	And where do you keep the keys of the house?
mdp.39015063924008	And who in hell are you?
mdp.39015063924008	And who were these favorites?
mdp.39015063924008	And why did you leave early?
mdp.39015063924008	And why did you request Aunt Polly to clean Aunt Agatha's bedroom on Saturday?
mdp.39015063924008	And you afterwards gave Count Erdody a sleep- ing powder to prolong his stupor?
mdp.39015063924008	And you came with her from abroad?
mdp.39015063924008	And you did not hurry back?
mdp.39015063924008	And you did not see the countess again?
mdp.39015063924008	And you found no fingerprints?
mdp.39015063924008	And you have yet to catch him?
mdp.39015063924008	And you lost the money?
mdp.39015063924008	And you never gave it to either your employer, Colonel Campbell, or his stepson, Count Wolf Erdody?
mdp.39015063924008	And you still own 13 Thirteenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	Answer my ques- tion, Moto: How soon after I left with the police- man did Count Erdody come in?
mdp.39015063924008	Any new dope?
mdp.39015063924008	Any- thing wrong, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Anything up?
mdp.39015063924008	Are these the cans?
mdp.39015063924008	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063924008	Are you the door- man they call Jim Morris?
mdp.39015063924008	Are you trying to ring in the little Jap?
mdp.39015063924008	At one A.M.?
mdp.39015063924008	At what hour did Count Erdody return?
mdp.39015063924008	At what hour did you see Aunt Polly?
mdp.39015063924008	At what hour was this?
mdp.39015063924008	Aunt Polly, did you see any one in the house be- sides Countess Ilda — hear any one?
mdp.39015063924008	Aunt Polly, how did you enter the house?
mdp.39015063924008	Beastly hot in here,I grumbled;"why not open a window?"
mdp.39015063924008	Between Wolf and me?
mdp.39015063924008	Both servants have been in your employ in Europe also?
mdp.39015063924008	Burned out a bearing?
mdp.39015063924008	But do n't you think, Colonel, that Count Erdody's going to the ball last night was in rotten taste — with his sweetie murdered only last Sunday?
mdp.39015063924008	But has n't he come in?
mdp.39015063924008	But inside the house?
mdp.39015063924008	But the government has not yet taken title?
mdp.39015063924008	But the question is, what are Wolf's feelings in the matter?
mdp.39015063924008	But what good a car to me unless I drive?
mdp.39015063924008	But what was your object in coming here?
mdp.39015063924008	But who came in Saturday afternoon?
mdp.39015063924008	But why pick on Ellen Maury?
mdp.39015063924008	But you do n't know it for a fact?
mdp.39015063924008	But, Inspector Judson —?
mdp.39015063924008	But, m'sieu, I have thought much since then; suppose — suppose the letters were in the bag?
mdp.39015063924008	By the way, Inspector, did you ask the maid, Marie Bornot, if the countess used a Sterno set?
mdp.39015063924008	By the way, why did n't you question her further at the inquest?
mdp.39015063924008	Ca n't you hazard a guess?
mdp.39015063924008	Can I see you privately?
mdp.39015063924008	Can I substitute for Wolf?
mdp.39015063924008	Can you hazard a guess, Doctor?
mdp.39015063924008	Can you not induce Wolf to return to Hungary?
mdp.39015063924008	Can you tell me where to find Colonel Campbell's apartment?
mdp.39015063924008	Can you translate it?
mdp.39015063924008	Certainly, Dad, but where are my gloves?
mdp.39015063924008	Colonel Campbell—Wilson's sharp tones brought my wandering glance back to him—"was your stepson, Count Erdody, in the theater audi- ence?"
mdp.39015063924008	Colonel Wayne Campbell?
mdp.39015063924008	Come, sir, what explanation have you to offer?
mdp.39015063924008	Coming, Judson?
mdp.39015063924008	Confound it, Campbell, can you find no other topic of conversation?
mdp.39015063924008	Cunnel—she brushed off a chair with her apron, and offered it to me—"has yo'seen Mis'Maury?"
mdp.39015063924008	Did Ilda tell you his name?
mdp.39015063924008	Did Mr. Peter Clemens come to her hotel after the telephone conversation?
mdp.39015063924008	Did it benefit others, too?
mdp.39015063924008	Did it occur to you that he was not altogether dis- interested — that perhaps he was trying to create dis- cord between you and — Wolf?
mdp.39015063924008	Did not the countess and Mrs. Maury hold any conversation?
mdp.39015063924008	Did she not talk with Erdody?
mdp.39015063924008	Did she purchase them for her own use, or were they already in 13 Thir- teenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	Did she say anything else?
mdp.39015063924008	Did the countess have any woman callers?
mdp.39015063924008	Did the countess stay long?
mdp.39015063924008	Did the policeman on the Thir- teenth Street beat see any parked car when he de- tected the candle lights burning inside the old mansion?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you drive Colonel Campbell to the theater Saturday night?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you enjoy the party last night?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you get the license number?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you get — Slater?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you leave the set, as well as the cans, in the car?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you meet any one or see any one loitering 101 13 Thirteenth Street around the grounds of the house when you first got there?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you see Count Erdody anywhere around?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you see Jim Hopkins?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you wait for Colonel Campbell to arrive be- fore searching the house?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you, Darcy, notice anything peculiar about its position?
mdp.39015063924008	Did your wife come with you?
mdp.39015063924008	Digging — where?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you drive?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you know the woman?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you know where he is?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you know, Flotow?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you mean seriously that you consider Flotow killed the countess?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you still wish me to hold off the inquest a few days longer?
mdp.39015063924008	Do you suppose for one instant that I would have been al- lowed my liberty otherwise?
mdp.39015063924008	Doctor?
mdp.39015063924008	Does she not mention Wolf by name?
mdp.39015063924008	Does this pocket comb belong to you?
mdp.39015063924008	Does yo's'pose dey b'lieve I killed that po'lady?
mdp.39015063924008	Dr. Wilson, why did you adjourn the inquest with such abruptness?
mdp.39015063924008	Ever been wounded?
mdp.39015063924008	For what purpose?
mdp.39015063924008	For what?
mdp.39015063924008	Gloves?
mdp.39015063924008	Gonel Gone where?
mdp.39015063924008	Had she many callers?
mdp.39015063924008	Has Herr Flotow approached you for a touch?
mdp.39015063924008	Has it struck you that all the closets are empty?
mdp.39015063924008	Has that key been out of your possession, Aunt Polly? mdp.39015063924008 Has yo'met Inspector Judson?"
mdp.39015063924008	Hasn't — er — Wolf told you of the letter left by your aunt in which she directed that her per- sonal effects be given to Ellen Maury?
mdp.39015063924008	Have you any orders for me, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Have you come to tell me something?
mdp.39015063924008	Have you found Aunt Polly's son?
mdp.39015063924008	Have you no idea?
mdp.39015063924008	He was one of a box party— 65 Thirteenth Street"And who were the others?"
mdp.39015063924008	Hello— as I heard footsteps in the hall—"who's coming here at this hour?"
mdp.39015063924008	Here? mdp.39015063924008 Herr Flotow,"he began, plunging at once into the investigation,"you were Countess Zichy's danc- ing partner?"
mdp.39015063924008	How about Countess Ilda?
mdp.39015063924008	How about Ezra?
mdp.39015063924008	How about an- other glass of wine with Countess Ilda?
mdp.39015063924008	How about the telephone operator in the St. Regis, whom he asked to call a taxi?
mdp.39015063924008	How came the handkerchief in Wilson Alley?
mdp.39015063924008	How d'ye get that way? mdp.39015063924008 How did yo's'pose I got in?"
mdp.39015063924008	How did you 282 The Final Reckoning get into this apartment just now? mdp.39015063924008 How did you hear about the wrap, anyway?"
mdp.39015063924008	How did you know she was not expected?
mdp.39015063924008	How long did the party keep up?
mdp.39015063924008	How long had Mrs. Maury been here?
mdp.39015063924008	How long has this place been closed?
mdp.39015063924008	How m The Coroner Grows Curious about the compromising letters?
mdp.39015063924008	How will you get home, Colonel?
mdp.39015063924008	I did n't know,dryly;"and how often has your stepson been in this house?"
mdp.39015063924008	I have no time now for explanations, Slater; where is Moto?
mdp.39015063924008	I have seen you somewhere,she said in rapid French,"but where —?"
mdp.39015063924008	I hope I did n't do wrong, sir? mdp.39015063924008 I must repeat my question, Mrs. Maury; why did you go to that party?"
mdp.39015063924008	I say, Campbell, may I see Wolf?
mdp.39015063924008	I thought I heard voices,he said, bowing to Wilson and Judson;"do n't mind if I sit in, do you, Dad?"
mdp.39015063924008	I was jest passin''long de garden path to de small front gate—"At five in the morning?"
mdp.39015063924008	I'm Colonel Campbell,I introduced myself, at I2Q 13 Thirteenth Street the same time unlocking the door of my apartment,"wo n't you come inside?"
mdp.39015063924008	I've seen her; why, Aunt Polly?
mdp.39015063924008	If it was n't his roadster, whose was it?
mdp.39015063924008	If you bolted immediately into a secret passage, how did you know that a woman had been killed in the house?
mdp.39015063924008	In Heaven's name, why?
mdp.39015063924008	Indeed?
mdp.39015063924008	Indeed?
mdp.39015063924008	Indeed?
mdp.39015063924008	Is Count Erdody at home?
mdp.39015063924008	Is it here now for repairs?
mdp.39015063924008	Is n't it a bit late for you to be out—I waited until the bluecoat was out of hearing—"alone?"
mdp.39015063924008	Is n't this your apartment?
mdp.39015063924008	Is that all?
mdp.39015063924008	Is the sketch O. K. so far, Colonel?
mdp.39015063924008	Is there plenty of game in Russia?
mdp.39015063924008	Is your husband here?
mdp.39015063924008	Is — is anything wrong?
mdp.39015063924008	It's still early; 15 13 Thirteenth Street breakfast would taste good, eh, Colonel?
mdp.39015063924008	Jake,I asked,"where is Wilson Alley?"
mdp.39015063924008	Just answer my questions,and as she flushed, he added more gently:"Was the count- ess happy or did she seem downcast?"
mdp.39015063924008	Just where does that'we'come into the picture?
mdp.39015063924008	Leave Count Erdody?
mdp.39015063924008	M'sieu—she crept to my side and pointed an 150 A Matched Pair unsteady finger at the stained floor—"did the count- ess rest there?"
mdp.39015063924008	May I have the note?
mdp.39015063924008	May I keep it?
mdp.39015063924008	Moto, what have you done with Count Erdody's gloves?
mdp.39015063924008	Mrs. Maury — is she ill —?
mdp.39015063924008	Mrs. Maury—I put down the paper and turned directly to her—"why did you go to Ilda Zichy's supper party last Saturday night?"
mdp.39015063924008	Mrs. Maury—I, too, sat down—"are you call- ing on me or on Wolf?"
mdp.39015063924008	Must I answer?
mdp.39015063924008	My employer is ill."Your — your what?
mdp.39015063924008	My miniature?
mdp.39015063924008	No?
mdp.39015063924008	No?
mdp.39015063924008	Nor give you a hint of the person's identity?
mdp.39015063924008	Now, Judson, how about letting Aunt Polly return to her quarters?
mdp.39015063924008	Now, Miss Bornot,began Wilson, and his kindly manner invited confidences,"you came to this country with Countess Zichy as her personal maid?"
mdp.39015063924008	Now, Peter, what has be- come of my aunt's personal belongings?
mdp.39015063924008	Now, about that handkerchief — did Countess Zichy drop it when she screamed from the automobile and was heard by Hopkins?
mdp.39015063924008	Now, is there any other part of this house you wish to go over?
mdp.39015063924008	Now, may we see Count Erdody, your stepson?
mdp.39015063924008	Oh, then I misunderstood Aunt Polly—"So Aunt Polly is not dead?"
mdp.39015063924008	Oh, yeah?
mdp.39015063924008	Oh, you surely do n't mean Aunt Agatha's companion?
mdp.39015063924008	One of those long, low single seaters — roadster with the top up, or something like it —"And what was the hour?
mdp.39015063924008	Out?
mdp.39015063924008	Pardon me, Mademoiselle Bornot, would you care to see the in- side of the house?
mdp.39015063924008	Peter?
mdp.39015063924008	Please, sir—the Jap's deferential manner only partially concealed his uneasiness—"may I speak aside with you?"
mdp.39015063924008	Please, sir, have we hit something?
mdp.39015063924008	Please, sir, you want me?
mdp.39015063924008	Quite so — quite so,Peter stirred his coffee with nervous haste,"do you wish them back, Campbell?"
mdp.39015063924008	Ready, Dad?
mdp.39015063924008	S- Sir —he stammered,"C- Colonel Campbell, is it you, sir?"
mdp.39015063924008	Say, Colonel, when we first met, did n't you tell us something about Aunt Polly having a son?
mdp.39015063924008	Say, Dad, do I remember rightly — was Peter in my room yester- day? mdp.39015063924008 Say, what do you take us for?"
mdp.39015063924008	Shall I take it back again?
mdp.39015063924008	So virtually you were her only heir?
mdp.39015063924008	Straight ahead, Moto?
mdp.39015063924008	Suppose we want to hold another autopsy?
mdp.39015063924008	Sure, I knows dey does — ain't I got my own pipe?
mdp.39015063924008	Surely Wolf told you all this?
mdp.39015063924008	Surprised to see me?
mdp.39015063924008	Tante Polly,he re- peated,"do you mean by chance Aunt Polly?"
mdp.39015063924008	Taxi, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Tell me, Inspector, have you found any trace of the weapon?
mdp.39015063924008	Tell me, Moto,and I strove to make my manner invite confidences,"did you help Count Wolf to his bedroom when he came in on Sunday morning?"
mdp.39015063924008	Tell me, who was the taxi driver who took Mr. Peter Clemens and Mrs. Maury away from here on Saturday night — the night of Countess Zichy's party?
mdp.39015063924008	That may be, but how does that put you in the secret chamber?
mdp.39015063924008	The car?
mdp.39015063924008	Then the countess'companion or companions may have been a man or a woman, or both?
mdp.39015063924008	Then we're alone?
mdp.39015063924008	They searched this place, did n't they?
mdp.39015063924008	This note?
mdp.39015063924008	True,he agreed reluctantly,"but where will it get us?
mdp.39015063924008	Trying to punc- ture the Count's only alibi — that he was taken home from the party by the Marquis Collato? mdp.39015063924008 Two?"
mdp.39015063924008	Want a demonstration, Inspec- tor?
mdp.39015063924008	Was Count Wolf here when you first entered the apartment this morning?
mdp.39015063924008	Was anything the mat- ter with the room?
mdp.39015063924008	Was there, then, a contest over your aunt's will?
mdp.39015063924008	We?
mdp.39015063924008	Well, Inspector—as Judson came back into the room—"has the coroner been called in?"
mdp.39015063924008	Well, but what about the present time?
mdp.39015063924008	Well, what is it?
mdp.39015063924008	Well, what then?
mdp.39015063924008	Well, who were they?
mdp.39015063924008	Well?
mdp.39015063924008	Were there other marks on the body?
mdp.39015063924008	Were they both lighted?
mdp.39015063924008	Were you coming down the stairs—with marked emphasis—"or were you on the way up?"
mdp.39015063924008	Were you not her heir?
mdp.39015063924008	Were you — intimate friends?
mdp.39015063924008	Wha- what is it, boss?
mdp.39015063924008	Whar is I?
mdp.39015063924008	What about the other matter?
mdp.39015063924008	What ails you?
mdp.39015063924008	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015063924008	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015063924008	What are you driving at?
mdp.39015063924008	What are you driving at?
mdp.39015063924008	What are you try- ing to imply? mdp.39015063924008 What are you trying to insinuate?"
mdp.39015063924008	What became of Miss Apthorpe's personal effects?
mdp.39015063924008	What became of the car?
mdp.39015063924008	What became of the other miniature?
mdp.39015063924008	What can I do for you, Colonel?
mdp.39015063924008	What can I do for you, Wolf? mdp.39015063924008 What can I think when two of the party refuse to be questioned, claiming diplomatic immunity?"
mdp.39015063924008	What claimed your interest?
mdp.39015063924008	What do you mean? mdp.39015063924008 What for?"
mdp.39015063924008	What got you out of a warm bed?
mdp.39015063924008	What happened next?
mdp.39015063924008	What have we here?
mdp.39015063924008	What is Ellen Maury to you?
mdp.39015063924008	What is it, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	What is it?
mdp.39015063924008	What kind of a car?
mdp.39015063924008	What kind of car was it?
mdp.39015063924008	What leads you to think she was stabbed in the back?
mdp.39015063924008	What leads you to think that? mdp.39015063924008 What more likely 26Q/J Thirteenth Street than that this pocket comb belongs to Ezra, and he put it in the bag?"
mdp.39015063924008	What of that?
mdp.39015063924008	What time was it then?
mdp.39015063924008	What took you away from so congenial a party?
mdp.39015063924008	What took you into Aunt Agatha's house at that hour?
mdp.39015063924008	What was she doing at such a party last night?
mdp.39015063924008	What was the address?
mdp.39015063924008	What were you doing this afternoon at Police Headquarters?
mdp.39015063924008	What — what's that?
mdp.39015063924008	What's that you say?
mdp.39015063924008	What's the occasion for such haste?
mdp.39015063924008	What's this?
mdp.39015063924008	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063924008	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063924008	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063924008	What's your name?
mdp.39015063924008	When did he leave here?
mdp.39015063924008	When did she come?
mdp.39015063924008	When did the party break up?
mdp.39015063924008	When did you see him?
mdp.39015063924008	Where are these letters now?
mdp.39015063924008	Where are those let- ters? mdp.39015063924008 Where are you going?"
mdp.39015063924008	Where did Aunt Polly get the bag?
mdp.39015063924008	Where did the call come from?
mdp.39015063924008	Where does Moto keep his car?
mdp.39015063924008	Where is Moto?

mdp.39015063924008	Where is your home?
mdp.39015063924008	Where to, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Where to, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Where to?
mdp.39015063924008	Where was the party held?
mdp.39015063924008	Where we go now?
mdp.39015063924008	Where'd the blood come from?
mdp.39015063924008	Whereabouts in the alley?
mdp.39015063924008	Who drugged me?
mdp.39015063924008	Who else?
mdp.39015063924008	Who gave the party?
mdp.39015063924008	Who pays you now?
mdp.39015063924008	Who threatened the countess?
mdp.39015063924008	Who was behind that request, Wilson?
mdp.39015063924008	Who was the uninvited guest?
mdp.39015063924008	Who was the uninvited guest?
mdp.39015063924008	Who was there?
mdp.39015063924008	Who would kill Aunt Polly? mdp.39015063924008 Who wrote those letters?"
mdp.39015063924008	Who's been in this office this morning?
mdp.39015063924008	Who's calling?
mdp.39015063924008	Whom have we here?
mdp.39015063924008	Why are we stopping?
mdp.39015063924008	Why are you here, Ezra?
mdp.39015063924008	Why are you prying into my affairs?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did n't you mention the bag when testifying at the inquest?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did n't you rustle your wings, Peter, and let us know you are around?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did you keep this from me?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did you kill the countess?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did you kill your wife?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did you ring off when/ answered?
mdp.39015063924008	Why do n't you drive with gloves?
mdp.39015063924008	Why do you entertain such a ridiculous prejudice against Ellen Maury?
mdp.39015063924008	Why fo'yo's'pose Mis'Maury had me dust an'clean ole Miss Agatha's southwest chamber Satur- day afternoon?
mdp.39015063924008	Why have you waited until now to tell me this?
mdp.39015063924008	Why is Moto barred out especially?
mdp.39015063924008	Why not ask Count Erdody, In- t spector?
mdp.39015063924008	Why not at an earlier hour?
mdp.39015063924008	Why not?
mdp.39015063924008	Why yo'ask fo'dat worthless coon?
mdp.39015063924008	Why,I asked,"did you not have Marie Bornot go into details about the bag which the countess always carried with her?"
mdp.39015063924008	Why?
mdp.39015063924008	Why?
mdp.39015063924008	Why?
mdp.39015063924008	Why?
mdp.39015063924008	Will they keep Count Wolf long at the jail?
mdp.39015063924008	Will you come in also, Count Erdody?
mdp.39015063924008	Will you want me, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Wolfgang?
mdp.39015063924008	Would it be presumptuous to ask whom?
mdp.39015063924008	Would you like me to use Moto's room to- night, sir?
mdp.39015063924008	Would you mind sitting down?
mdp.39015063924008	Yes?
mdp.39015063924008	You and Count Erdody both have keys to this house?
mdp.39015063924008	You ask me that? mdp.39015063924008 You assume she died here, then?"
mdp.39015063924008	You did n't stop anywhere?
mdp.39015063924008	You drove Mr. Peter Clemens and Mrs. Maury from the Cafe St. Regis to her home on Saturday night?
mdp.39015063924008	You found it?
mdp.39015063924008	You found no trace of the house having been broken into?
mdp.39015063924008	You have recently ac- quired the property, 13 Thirteenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	You hear noise too?
mdp.39015063924008	You infer Countess Zichy was here?
mdp.39015063924008	You know the house?
mdp.39015063924008	You mean Countess Zichy did not fall naturally in that pose?
mdp.39015063924008	You mean compromising letters?
mdp.39015063924008	You offered a reward — a reward — you?
mdp.39015063924008	You plan to live there?
mdp.39015063924008	You recognize the handwriting?
mdp.39015063924008	You say the body lay on the floor?
mdp.39015063924008	You think they marry?
mdp.39015063924008	You were alone?
mdp.39015063924008	.?"
mdp.39015063924008	.?"
mdp.39015063924008	10 At Police Headquarters"Why?"
mdp.39015063924008	157 jj Thirteenth Street"Why?"
mdp.39015063924008	173 13 Thirteenth Street"You think, then, her murderer threw it away to get rid of incriminating evidence?"
mdp.39015063924008	186 A Fatal Sequence Was he really sober?
mdp.39015063924008	199 13 Thirteenth Street"What part of the garden?"
mdp.39015063924008	222 The Jury's Verdict"Because she asked me"—"By phone?"
mdp.39015063924008	57 Thirteenth Street"Why?"
mdp.39015063924008	64 More Testimony"And now, Colonel Campbell,"Wilson laid aside his notes and came closer to me,"where were you Saturday evening?"
mdp.39015063924008	67 jj Thirteenth Street"So you went home at once?"
mdp.39015063924008	68 More Testimony"Did you find any evidence of the intruder's or intruders'identity?"
mdp.39015063924008	758 A Matched Pair stern,"was there no one else at the legation but you to make such a request?"
mdp.39015063924008	88 Further Complications"How about your friendship,"with sneering em- phasis,"for Ilda — in Paris?"
mdp.39015063924008	And what had she told the police?
mdp.39015063924008	And why?"
mdp.39015063924008	And yet, could I be mistaken?
mdp.39015063924008	And you put the keys to 13 Thir- teenth Street in that drawer?"
mdp.39015063924008	But how did he get inside?
mdp.39015063924008	But if Wolf had a criminal knowledge of Ilda's death or, far worse, a hand in her murder, why did he return again to 13 Thirteenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	But why — why?
mdp.39015063924008	But, Colonel Campbell, what has the miniature to do with the present situation?"
mdp.39015063924008	But, good God, how did she get here?"
mdp.39015063924008	Clemens?"
mdp.39015063924008	Clemens?"
mdp.39015063924008	Come, sir; why are you keeping us wait- ing?"
mdp.39015063924008	Could I dismiss his suspicion as a sick man's fancy?
mdp.39015063924008	Could I, without attracting attention, signal a warning to Wolf to mask his feelings?
mdp.39015063924008	Could it be Ellen Maury?
mdp.39015063924008	Did she really know?
mdp.39015063924008	Did you bring them with you?"
mdp.39015063924008	Did you plant that in Wilson Alley, Slater?"
mdp.39015063924008	Do n't taxis ever come out to this part of the world?"
mdp.39015063924008	Do you always spring at people out of the dark?"
mdp.39015063924008	From which direc- tion had he come?
mdp.39015063924008	Had I heard aright?
mdp.39015063924008	Had Moto noticed Wolf?
mdp.39015063924008	Had Wolf been hanging around Number 13 all night?
mdp.39015063924008	Had he 162 The Coroner Grows Curious merely forgotten his glove, or was he in such haste to leave that he had not stopped to pick it up?
mdp.39015063924008	Had the police gotten in touch with Moto, or had the little Jap gone voluntarily to them?
mdp.39015063924008	Had the police seen him there?
mdp.39015063924008	Heirlooms, per- haps?"
mdp.39015063924008	How did I get back here, Dad?"
mdp.39015063924008	How far was he to be trusted?
mdp.39015063924008	How then, Ezra, did you know the person rushing into the front hall was Aunt Polly?"
mdp.39015063924008	I The House with the Ominous Number"Do you think because you found a dead person in a house I own, I am a murderer?"
mdp.39015063924008	I say:'Who ees eet?'
mdp.39015063924008	I'm thinking the man you want to see"—he paused and eyed me a little doubtfully—"you do n't mean him no harm, do you?"
mdp.39015063924008	In either event who had admitted her?
mdp.39015063924008	Is that all, sir?"
mdp.39015063924008	Is that all, sir?"
mdp.39015063924008	Is this a sample of the acumen of the Wash- 5 13 Thirteenth Street ington police force?
mdp.39015063924008	Judson, it was, who broke the silence.."Has your offer of a reward brought other results?"
mdp.39015063924008	Just a sec'"— he raised his voice imperatively—"you've had your say — now, Clancy, what is it?"
mdp.39015063924008	Just what was her status in this affair?
mdp.39015063924008	Lost what?"
mdp.39015063924008	Maury?"
mdp.39015063924008	My impulse was to follow him but what explanation could I offer?
mdp.39015063924008	Neither conjecture mattered just then, for had she not also impressed me with the belief that wherever he was, some dan- ger threatened?
mdp.39015063924008	No,"continuing her examination of Ilda's writing,"the'W is plain — the'E'—ah, can it be a'C'?"
mdp.39015063924008	Now"—as he drew up alongside the desk and I resumed my seat—"what's up?"
mdp.39015063924008	On what had the murderer wiped his hands?
mdp.39015063924008	Regis?"
mdp.39015063924008	Regis?"
mdp.39015063924008	Regis?"
mdp.39015063924008	Say"—his active brain shot off at a tangent—"what about Countess Zichy's handker- chief?
mdp.39015063924008	Say, boo, do n't you know the jig's'most up?"
mdp.39015063924008	Should I call up Judson and tell him of finding Ezra hiding in the secret chamber?
mdp.39015063924008	Should I keep to my intention of sitting up until Wolf returned, or should I take my customary"constitutional"about the block and then turn in?
mdp.39015063924008	Should I tell them that my set had been given to me by Ellen Maury?
mdp.39015063924008	Such things had happened before, but then, 102 Sinister Shadows had Ilda gone unaccompanied to 13 Thirteenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	Suddenly my name was called and, turning, I saw Countess Zichy"—"Was she wearing a coat?"
mdp.39015063924008	Suppose he had gone earlier to my house, been awakened by Uda's entrance, and attacked her?
mdp.39015063924008	Suppose, though, Moto had gone to his assistance?
mdp.39015063924008	The exact antithesis of Ellen Maury — had she tempted Wolf beyond his strength?
mdp.39015063924008	Then how can she afford to live in an apartment which is as expensive as ours?"
mdp.39015063924008	Then off at a tangent:"What makes you think, m'sieu, that I desire to go in?"
mdp.39015063924008	Then why, if she saw him, did she not send the bag to you by Wolf instead of by Ezra?"
mdp.39015063924008	There's a chance"—"Of what?"
mdp.39015063924008	They say Moto this and Moto that, and Moto, when was Countess Zichy here?"
mdp.39015063924008	They were mostly descriptive of perfumes and cosmetics and, losing interest, I 2IQ 13 Thirteenth Street Campbell, have you seen the evening papers?"
mdp.39015063924008	This is Monday, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063924008	Was Ilda's death a case of cold, premeditated murder, and his drinking bout in his bedroom simply to drown recollection?
mdp.39015063924008	Was he in danger?
mdp.39015063924008	Was it for observation purposes that Jud- son had brought us to the inquest?
mdp.39015063924008	Was it to keep tabs on my whereabouts?
mdp.39015063924008	Was she beautiful?
mdp.39015063924008	Was she young?
mdp.39015063924008	Was six in the morning too early an hour to call on Ellen Maury?
mdp.39015063924008	We heard a woman's scream and a white arm waved at us out the car — then"—"Then?"
mdp.39015063924008	What are the new developments, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063924008	What are you doing here at this hour?"
mdp.39015063924008	What could I do?
mdp.39015063924008	What could I say that would ease the pain of Wolf's ex- perience at the dance?
mdp.39015063924008	What could I say?
mdp.39015063924008	What had she expected to find there?
mdp.39015063924008	What interest had Ilda Zichy's French maid in 13 Thirteenth Street?
mdp.39015063924008	What other assurance than that a fickle world would soon condone and forgive any indiscretion of conduct — save murder?
mdp.39015063924008	What time we have dinner?"
mdp.39015063924008	What was he driving at?
mdp.39015063924008	What was the coroner driving at?
mdp.39015063924008	What was there about the fireplace so to attract Inspector Judson?
mdp.39015063924008	When did you arrive?"
mdp.39015063924008	Where did you leave your wallet, Wolf?"
mdp.39015063924008	Where?"
mdp.39015063924008	Who had accompanied her or had she gone alone on her midnight excursion?
mdp.39015063924008	Who spoke?"
mdp.39015063924008	Who were you talking to in the hall, Judson, when you first came?"
mdp.39015063924008	Who would kill so harmless, so defenseless a creature?
mdp.39015063924008	Who, then, to- day addressed him as Wolfgang?
mdp.39015063924008	Why did you deny all knowledge of it, and what became of it?"
mdp.39015063924008	Why had Moto removed only the de- canters, empty White Rock bottles and highball glasses?
mdp.39015063924008	Why should n't I make the request?"
mdp.39015063924008	Why this sudden desire for my society?
mdp.39015063924008	Why was Moto coming out of a side door of Police Headquarters?
mdp.39015063924008	Why were no drops of blood elsewhere in the room?
mdp.39015063924008	Why, otherwise, would she stoop to stealing a letter?
mdp.39015063924008	Why?
mdp.39015063924008	Will you let me go in?"
mdp.39015063924008	Will you see him, sir?"
mdp.39015063924008	Wolf is with you, then?"
mdp.39015063924008	Would she betray any knowledge of who was there?
mdp.39015063924008	You can get back the clothes, ca n't you, sir?"
mdp.39015063924008	You mean in this apartment?"
mdp.39015063924008	You wish Moto?
mdp.39015063924008	and as he showed no inclination to reply, I asked sharply:"Did she come here?
mdp.39015063924008	he inquired j"or shall I call your car?"
mdp.39015063924008	m Initials Only"So you brought her up here?"
mdp.39015063924008	u At Police Headquarters"And this companion of your aunt's, who was she?"
mdp.39015063543154	A corpse? mdp.39015063543154 A night nurse?"
mdp.39015063543154	A woman? mdp.39015063543154 About what?"
mdp.39015063543154	All alone mit de rats, eh?
mdp.39015063543154	Alone?
mdp.39015063543154	And Bruton Street? mdp.39015063543154 And before that?"
mdp.39015063543154	And get it out of your head that I overhauled your boudoir, will you?
mdp.39015063543154	And her husband?
mdp.39015063543154	And how do you know it was Larry? mdp.39015063543154 And maybe you do n't know the little story about first catching your bird?
mdp.39015063543154	And now do you mind going? mdp.39015063543154 And that is?"
mdp.39015063543154	And that was?
mdp.39015063543154	And the denomination of the notes?
mdp.39015063543154	And the idea is that it walked here?
mdp.39015063543154	And the other two? mdp.39015063543154 And the others?"
mdp.39015063543154	And the third?
mdp.39015063543154	And they are?
mdp.39015063543154	And what do you want?
mdp.39015063543154	And what the devil do you mean by scaring my niece, Crale?
mdp.39015063543154	And what the heck were you doing to let that Morcovian welsher frame a crooked deal like that?
mdp.39015063543154	And what the hell do you want?
mdp.39015063543154	And you know how I got this little souvenir?
mdp.39015063543154	And your reason for leaving His Grace?
mdp.39015063543154	And, any- way, if he is the Poacher what's he want down here?
mdp.39015063543154	Any idea what the old lad wants?
mdp.39015063543154	Any particular stones?
mdp.39015063543154	Any suggestions, Sam?
mdp.39015063543154	Anything stirring in the undergrowth?
mdp.39015063543154	Are our fellows still combing the grounds?
mdp.39015063543154	Are you George's guardian angel or something?
mdp.39015063543154	Are you expecting me to weep because some one nearly croaked you? mdp.39015063543154 Are you fit to drive?"
mdp.39015063543154	Are you going there now?
mdp.39015063543154	Are you going to be long?
mdp.39015063543154	Are you going up to the house to see him?
mdp.39015063543154	Are you still telling me why the Poacher raided this flat,Larry asked,"or have n't you finished the recitative?"
mdp.39015063543154	Are you suggesting that he's the Poacher?
mdp.39015063543154	Are you telling me that that boy is a gangster?
mdp.39015063543154	As stale as that, eh? mdp.39015063543154 At the same time, what's the idea of having a motor show at midnight?"
mdp.39015063543154	Barbara, would you like to give your car an airing?
mdp.39015063543154	Barbara?
mdp.39015063543154	Before you take your reserved pew amongst the elect?
mdp.39015063543154	Benton, what is the meaning of this?
mdp.39015063543154	But how do you know"That you had a mother? mdp.39015063543154 But no, madame, who would dare?"
mdp.39015063543154	But not seen, eh? mdp.39015063543154 But why?"
mdp.39015063543154	But, Mrs. Hesse, what has happened?
mdp.39015063543154	By the way are you walking with me or just shadowing me?
mdp.39015063543154	By the way, what's happened to my American swain?
mdp.39015063543154	Ca n't we do anything to ease that scratch, George?
mdp.39015063543154	Can I give you a lift anywhere?
mdp.39015063543154	Can I take you back?
mdp.39015063543154	Can you beat it? mdp.39015063543154 Can you come at once?"
mdp.39015063543154	Can you give me one good reason why I should n't stay with Ian?
mdp.39015063543154	Can you manage a — er — light brown suit and a flowing tie — if possible rather a gaudy one?
mdp.39015063543154	Can you prove it?
mdp.39015063543154	Can you tell me if this resembles one of your servants or your guests?
mdp.39015063543154	Certainly, why?

mdp.39015063543154	Could you see the ex- butler to a duke pouring out his guilty passion into Mrs. Greer's large and over- acquisitive ears?
mdp.39015063543154	Crale, have you ever heard of the Poacher?

mdp.39015063543154	Did you say Larry Wade?
mdp.39015063543154	Did you tell her that unpleasant little story?
mdp.39015063543154	Did you — see any one?
mdp.39015063543154	Do I look like a butler?
mdp.39015063543154	Do n't you fellows ever sleep?
mdp.39015063543154	Do n't you know?

mdp.39015063543154	Does he go?
mdp.39015063543154	Does it?
mdp.39015063543154	Does that give you the privilege of calling your earthly charges by their Christian names?
mdp.39015063543154	Does that matter?
mdp.39015063543154	Does this belong to Ralph, or does it convey anything to you?
mdp.39015063543154	Drink, Baron?
mdp.39015063543154	Endearing? mdp.39015063543154 Er — were you serious about Keating and Kaye?

mdp.39015063543154	Habit? mdp.39015063543154 Has anything fresh been discovered?"
mdp.39015063543154	Have I ever met you before, Crale?
mdp.39015063543154	Have those emeralds arrived yet?
mdp.39015063543154	Have we fixed on any one yet?
mdp.39015063543154	Have you got any women folk you can go to, my dear?
mdp.39015063543154	He went down to the office with you to deposit the bracelet, did n't he? mdp.39015063543154 Headaches?"
mdp.39015063543154	Hello, Berkeley's Bank? mdp.39015063543154 Hello, Ian, why the bashful retirement?"
mdp.39015063543154	Hello, that you, Kaye? mdp.39015063543154 Hello, the manager?
mdp.39015063543154	How do I get in? mdp.39015063543154 How do you do, Miss Teyst?
mdp.39015063543154	How far is it from the house to the gate?
mdp.39015063543154	How long has it been there?
mdp.39015063543154	How many deals did you have to pull to furnish like this? mdp.39015063543154 How many did you take last night?"
mdp.39015063543154	How many of the Squad are down here?
mdp.39015063543154	How much has he got outside? mdp.39015063543154 How much, Lou?"
mdp.39015063543154	How old is he?
mdp.39015063543154	How the hell do I know?
mdp.39015063543154	How would it be if I ran you down in my car?
mdp.39015063543154	I gather there was some general idea hatching in the mas- ter brain when you summoned the family, George? mdp.39015063543154 I guess the little hotel tin box is the best place for the bracelet, Sachs?"
mdp.39015063543154	I shall be free soon, sha n't I?
mdp.39015063543154	I sup- pose in your present enfeebled condition you could n't be more explicit?
mdp.39015063543154	I suppose you know that the Colonel's back?
mdp.39015063543154	I suppose you would n't care to take over the job of secretary for a little while?
mdp.39015063543154	I wonder what the impeccable Crale is doing?
mdp.39015063543154	I wonder what the things were that needed — er — a little attention? mdp.39015063543154 Idea?
mdp.39015063543154	If I suggested that you knew the Poacher,he said unex- pectedly,"how near would I be to the truth?"
mdp.39015063543154	If Larry ca n't prove his movements, why worry about the identity of the Poacher? mdp.39015063543154 If you've got it all nicely wrapped up for the Poacher, why not let him have it where it'll do him most good?
mdp.39015063543154	In a hurry?
mdp.39015063543154	In connection with what?

mdp.39015063543154	Interesting?
mdp.39015063543154	Is Ian to be present?
mdp.39015063543154	Is he implying that you're a crook?
mdp.39015063543154	Is he? mdp.39015063543154 Is n't there any clue to his identity at all?"
mdp.39015063543154	Is she?
mdp.39015063543154	Is that all you came for?
mdp.39015063543154	Is that anything to do with you?
mdp.39015063543154	Is that so difficult?
mdp.39015063543154	Is the something you're going to the Yard for, a gun?
mdp.39015063543154	Is there another?
mdp.39015063543154	Is there any doubt in your mind as to the identity of your assailant, sir?
mdp.39015063543154	Is there anything you do n't know?
mdp.39015063543154	Is this deliberate or accidental?

mdp.39015063543154	My dear girl, are you suggesting?
mdp.39015063543154	My dear man,she protested,"you do n't imagine that I think you are staying here because you like Ian?"
mdp.39015063543154	No, why?

mdp.39015063543154	He did n't know — struth, is Larry the Poacher?
mdp.39015063543154	He stooped to pick it up and breathed"Where?"

mdp.39015063543154	I suppose he's got a face and a figure just like a red- blooded man?"
mdp.39015063543154	I thought if you were doing nothing in particular""My dear man,"she protested,"what do I know about interviewing butlers?

mdp.39015063543154	Interested in police meth- ods and thrilled by the magical presence of the C.I.D.?"
mdp.39015063543154	Is Clem really Larry's brother?"

mdp.39015063891116	He said he was n't sleepy yet, and that he would stay on deck a little while longer. ”Is there anything more?

mdp.39015063891116	And they sent Quigley in his place. ” “ Things have n't gone so smoothly for Lanfrey, then, taking it all around, have they?"
mdp.39015063891116	And was there anything else Mrs. Gorell told you?"
mdp.39015063891116	And while I was in his room he said:'Starr, see these?'
mdp.39015063891116	And you have brought him back?"
mdp.39015063891116	And you say that you went back to the galley and got cook's butcher knife?".
mdp.39015063891116	And you, gentlemen? ”"Thank you, Governor,"replied Lanfrey.
mdp.39015063891116	Any- body else who knows any short cuts to these questions we're interested in?"
mdp.39015063891116	Anybody we know?"
mdp.39015063891116	Anything new about Quigley?"
mdp.39015063891116	Anything that is not already known?"
mdp.39015063891116	Ardleigh?"
mdp.39015063891116	Are you crippled or something? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015063891116	Are you sure he's aboard? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063891116	Are you taking Dr. Risner's place? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063891116	Are you? ”"I'm very comfortable, Mrs. Lanfrey, thank you."
mdp.39015063891116	As the couple passed me she turned to her companion and said: “ Is all your stuff on board, Jack?"
mdp.39015063891116	At times I think she's afraid. ”"Afraid —? ” echoed Alice.
mdp.39015063891116	Bartlett, is that your story too?"
mdp.39015063891116	Bartlett?"
mdp.39015063891116	But Galapagos,""Galapagos is a long way from home, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063891116	But I've got a suggestion. ”"What? ”"I want Alice Wilmer to see that enlargement."
mdp.39015063891116	But could n't something be done in the meantime?
mdp.39015063891116	But he wants to make a present of it to Miss Wilmer. ” “ Me? ” Alice looked at the castaway who nodded and grinned.
mdp.39015063891116	But how about Starr?"
mdp.39015063891116	But what are we going to do?
mdp.39015063891116	But what else is there to do?
mdp.39015063891116	But what's a professor of English doing on a scientific expedition?"
mdp.39015063891116	But why are we meeting here in the lounge?"
mdp.39015063891116	But why are you two so excited about it? ” she asked, looking from me to Rogers.
mdp.39015063891116	But why not?
mdp.39015063891116	But why talk of it?
mdp.39015063891116	But why?
mdp.39015063891116	But- what were you going to say?"
mdp.39015063891116	By the way, is there a physician in the expedition- a medical man?
mdp.39015063891116	Can you get ready right away?"
mdp.39015063891116	Can you throw any light on Mr. Quigley's last movements?"
mdp.39015063891116	Carlos?"
mdp.39015063891116	Cast away three weeks ago on this island. ” “ Shipwreck?"
mdp.39015063891116	Chris Knutsen?
mdp.39015063891116	Coming in now?"
mdp.39015063891116	Could n't we grill every- body on board until we discover the criminal?
mdp.39015063891116	Did she say so in so many words? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063891116	Did you find the lists he had drawn up of the specimens the Mu- seum wants?
mdp.39015063891116	Did you know that I was John Quigley's father- in- law?"
mdp.39015063891116	Do n't cross him on his subject, though. ” “ What is he? ” “ Geologist.
mdp.39015063891116	Do they think it was an accident or was it- foul play? ” She hesi- tated over the last two words before she pronounced them.
mdp.39015063891116	Do you know whether he did 66 THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB come down? ”"Yes, he did.
mdp.39015063891116	Do you make them out?"
mdp.39015063891116	Does he strike you that way? ” “ Yes. ” He whistled softly to himself as he tinkered with the shutter of a large camera.
mdp.39015063891116	Dr. Ardleigh, what do you think about it? ” Dr. Ardleigh tensed suddenly in his chair, and wet his hard turtle lips with the tip of his tongue.
mdp.39015063891116	Ever been down there?"
mdp.39015063891116	Fi- nally she said: “ Are you going to turn out to be one of those horrid persons who do things just because they should be done?"
mdp.39015063891116	Finally he said: “ Bartlett, have you by any chance learned of any gambling going on between members of the ex- pedition and the crew?"
mdp.39015063891116	From the Museum,""You mean Risner? ”"Yeah.
mdp.39015063891116	Getty, ” he said, “ will you be good enough to get under way and set our course for Indefatigable Island once more?"
mdp.39015063891116	Getty?"
mdp.39015063891116	Gorell said that, did she? ” Rogers asked, leaning forward.
mdp.39015063891116	Gorell was dead when you went into her room, you say?
mdp.39015063891116	Gorell's door was open? ” THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 241 “ I said it was, did n't I? ” Cranston retorted irritably.
mdp.39015063891116	Gorell's door was open? ” THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 241 “ I said it was, did n't I? ” Cranston retorted irritably.
mdp.39015063891116	Gorell?"
mdp.39015063891116	Had Dr. Ardleigh been the dark character through all this amazing story?
mdp.39015063891116	Has he a key?"
mdp.39015063891116	Have you got good shoes with you? ” he inquired solicitously.
mdp.39015063891116	Have you something good to eat, Ernest? ” she asked, addressing the youth who was getting the lunch baskets ashore.
mdp.39015063891116	He admitted it, did he?"
mdp.39015063891116	He helped awhile around the cameras on a studio lot in Hollywood. ”"Think you can trust him?"
mdp.39015063891116	He rubbed the side of his nose thoughtfully a moment and spoke up: “ Carlos, I wonder if we're not wasting time —?"
mdp.39015063891116	He was on the starboard side at the rail. ”"Alone?"
mdp.39015063891116	He waved to me and I waved back. ”"Did you see Dr. Gorell? ”"No, sir. ” 224 THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB “ Did you kill him?"
mdp.39015063891116	He waved to me and I waved back. ”"Did you see Dr. Gorell? ”"No, sir. ” 224 THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB “ Did you kill him?"
mdp.39015063891116	He's worth millions, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063891116	How's he getting along today?"
mdp.39015063891116	Huntoon Rogers from the University,""Not Hunt Rogers? ” I said.
mdp.39015063891116	I am taking my constitutional. ” “ After all the luggage, and the serving of dinner?"
mdp.39015063891116	I ca n't see it as an accident, Captain. ” “ As suicide, then? ” Lanfrey asked slowly.
mdp.39015063891116	I did n't see where he went after THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 185 Mrs. Lanfrey slapped him,""You saw it, did you?
mdp.39015063891116	I did n't try to listen to what was said. ”"What time was that?"
mdp.39015063891116	I envy you your physique and your youth. ” “ Are you planning an extensive collection of shells, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063891116	I had one-"“ Who's there? ” “ Mrs.
mdp.39015063891116	I have n't heard. ” “ Cranston tried to blackmail her_""Blackmail? ” I echoed in astonishment.
mdp.39015063891116	I heard Rogers ask a question:"When do you think it happened, Carlos? ”"It must have happened sometime before noon.
mdp.39015063891116	I knocked on her door and she asked me in, and I sat with her awhile ” “ Now, Doctor, did you see her alive after that?
mdp.39015063891116	I left him at his door and I then went on to my cabin and to bed. ”"What time do you suppose you got back to your rooms? ”"It was ten- thirty."
mdp.39015063891116	I recognized Jack's voice. ” “ What was said?"
mdp.39015063891116	I remember, ” “ Who locks the galley at night?"
mdp.39015063891116	I said:'Can I help you, sir?'
mdp.39015063891116	I said:'Look here, what are you driving at?'
mdp.39015063891116	I thought she answered — ” “ Did she? ” “ She could n't have, Captain.
mdp.39015063891116	I took almost the identical picture myself. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Yes. ” His voice rose in mild surprise at my question.
mdp.39015063891116	I was at one time in the prize ring. ” “ What were you?"
mdp.39015063891116	I'm sorry if the day may have seemed wasted"“ Wasted? ” echoed Mrs. Gorell bluntly.
mdp.39015063891116	I'm sorry; I apologize, of course, for having to dig into,"“ Do you mind calling Rogers over here? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063891116	I'm usually the last —""Did you lock it last night?"
mdp.39015063891116	I've missed its significance until now. ”"What's that, Benny?"
mdp.39015063891116	If I require help perhaps Carlos will let me have Jay Cranston. ” “ The nephew?"
mdp.39015063891116	If there was lack of harmony in the expedi- tion at the outset, what possibly could be accomplished?
mdp.39015063891116	Is he some relation to the Captain? ” “ Only through a former wife, the second Mrs. Lan- frey, I believe.
mdp.39015063891116	Is n't it insane of me to be married to a man like Carlos Lanfrey?"
mdp.39015063891116	Is n't it wonderful to go adventuring on a yacht like this?
mdp.39015063891116	Is n't it? ” she demanded.
mdp.39015063891116	Is that all? ”"I think so- except for ourselves. ” “ Now, whom did you want to ask me about?"
mdp.39015063891116	Is that all? ”"I think so- except for ourselves. ” “ Now, whom did you want to ask me about?"
mdp.39015063891116	Is that true? ” “ Yes, sir,"replied Starr without hesitation.
mdp.39015063891116	Is there anything else among this stuff, do you think, Benny, that's worth saving out? ” “ I doubt it.
mdp.39015063891116	It must have been something important to them, at any rate- Possibly to somebody else. ” “ What about it, Hunt?"
mdp.39015063891116	It was a nuisance, sir. ” “ In what way?"
mdp.39015063891116	It was there on the bed,"THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 243"Where is that knife now?"
mdp.39015063891116	Jack said to me the last time I saw him that night:'What am I going to do, Reba?

mdp.39015063891116	My sister Marjory's voice floated to me through the upper hall inquiringly:"What's all the row about, Benny?
mdp.39015063891116	No, it's somewhere among the passengers you'll have to look. ”"And among them?"
mdp.39015063891116	None of us, I believe, has finished all he wanted to do on Indefatigable. ” “ That's what Dr. French said. ”"Did n't he know where we're going?"
mdp.39015063891116	Not in the stateroom anyhow. ”"Did you expect to?"
mdp.39015063891116	Now, how about this knife?"
mdp.39015063891116	Old Gorell has threatened me, ” “ Threatened him?"
mdp.39015063891116	On what grounds?"
mdp.39015063891116	Or did she say anything when you were talking to her that fore- shadowed what happened?"
mdp.39015063891116	Or stroke?"
mdp.39015063891116	Otherwise he was going to Carlos about it,""And that's when Mrs. Lanfrey socked him?"
mdp.39015063891116	Physically?
mdp.39015063891116	Quigley did n't come down, then, when you did?"
mdp.39015063891116	Said he wanted me to know just in case. ” “ What did he mean by that? ”"I do n't know.
mdp.39015063891116	Sailor? ” inquired Alice.
mdp.39015063891116	Saw Reba slap him? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063891116	She and I room together. ” “ Have I got them all, do you know?"
mdp.39015063891116	She said it was too technical for her to explain, and that it was dry as dust. ” “ Then you do n't know what it was? ” Rogers pressed.
mdp.39015063891116	She seldom hears any noise whatever at night, and she knows nothing of what occurred. ”"And you?"
mdp.39015063891116	Simple inanimate things as they are, they tell a story, Benny; do n't they?"
mdp.39015063891116	Since he came aboard?"
mdp.39015063891116	So that you have to take sunbaths? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	So the chance is pretty slim-""Do you think it could have been Ardleigh? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063891116	So?
mdp.39015063891116	Somebody asked:"Could he swim?".
mdp.39015063891116	Something about the trouble between Dr. Gorell and Quigley, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063891116	Starr's still waiting there for him. ” “ Bit odd, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063891116	Storn's over, is n't it? ” I asked, changing the subject.
mdp.39015063891116	THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 118 THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB “ A little argument. ”"What about?"

mdp.39015063891116	There was a young chap who came aboard with you-""Jack Quigley?"

mdp.39015063891116	This morning at the inquiry when you were asking her about her conversation last night with Mrs. Gorell. ” “ What did she say?
mdp.39015063891116	Tomorrow?"
mdp.39015063891116	Was he married? ” “ Yes and no.
mdp.39015063891116	We can do this, though, ca n't we?
mdp.39015063891116	We sail THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 3 at six. ” “ Galapagos? ”"Yes.

mdp.39015063891116	What about it?"
mdp.39015063891116	What are you holding that bloody knife for, Ardleigh? ” he demanded severely.
mdp.39015063891116	What chance is of the killer?
mdp.39015063891116	What do you say, Bartlett?"
mdp.39015063891116	What do you think will happen, Professor Rogers?"
mdp.39015063891116	What do you think?"

mdp.39015063891116	What else?"
mdp.39015063891116	What for? ” “ Leaving."
mdp.39015063891116	What have we stopped for? ”"We're at Galapagos. ” The young man finished the orange, then rolled back into bed and pulled the covers about him.
mdp.39015063891116	What if Gorell's death is linked to Quigley's? ” “ I ca n't believe it."
mdp.39015063891116	What if Gorell's skull was broken by a stone in the hands of someone, instead of by a fall?
mdp.39015063891116	What is it?
mdp.39015063891116	What may I do for you?"
mdp.39015063891116	What was it he had thrown over- board?
mdp.39015063891116	What was it?
mdp.39015063891116	What was the reason he had deliberated so long before throwing the envelope away?
mdp.39015063891116	What's happened?
mdp.39015063891116	What's he done? ”"Made a little scene at dinner,"I said, detailing the argument for his benefit.
mdp.39015063891116	What's this you've got?"

mdp.39015063891116	When did you last see Mr. Quigley alive on board ship?"
mdp.39015063891116	When he says out, you'll come out. ”"What do you want, then?"
mdp.39015063891116	When will we raise the islands again?"
mdp.39015063891116	When?"

mdp.39015063891116	You did n't kill the old lady, did you? ” The Captain's manner made an exaggera- tion of the question, grimly touched with humor.

mdp.39015063891116	You stepped on that crab, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063891116	You will come to my house, Captain?

mdp.39015063891116	“ About leaving?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ And how did Mr. Cranston know you had them? ” “ He saw them in my room, sir, where I put them on my box.
mdp.39015063891116	“ And what time was that, Dr. Ardleigh? ” asked Cap- tain Lanfrey.
mdp.39015063891116	“ And you are going to your state- room now. ” “ Ca n't we stay just a little longer, Benny?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ And you still think the thing's important, Hunt?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ And-?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Are blondes always hungry?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Are you all right, dear?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Are you comfortable in your quarters, Bartlett? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Are you going to pass me by?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Are you still on duty? ” “ I'm always on duty, sir, if you wish something."
mdp.39015063891116	“ Are you sure, Miss Wilmer? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Before we get off the subject, though- did he have any family?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Benny? ” said a soft voice.

mdp.39015063891116	“ But did it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ But probable?-Don't you think some such explana- THE AFFAIR OF THE SCARLET CRAB 93 tion as that is probable, Bartlett?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ But where could he have gone, sir?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ But, there's really nothing to be afraid of, Mrs. Gorell, I can assure you of that. ”"Can you?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ But- Miss Wilmer- aren't you frightened? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ But- but, ” she began, “ what have I said?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Captain Lanfrey is a man of action, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Come in, ” he said,"what have you found? ”"Exactly nothing, Carlos, ” said Rogers.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Coming, Bartlett? ” French and I fell into step and walked aft.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Could it have been as late as eleven- thirty when you heard the knock?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Did I hear you correctly? ” she inquired.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Did you see that?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do I seem alarmed?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do you know something about it? ” demanded Rogers.'
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do you see it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do you suppose the Captain will kill him?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do you think it was an accident? ”"It could n't have been anything else. ”"Then what's the use of talking about it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do you think it was an accident? ”"It could n't have been anything else. ”"Then what's the use of talking about it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Do you want me to come?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Enjoying yourself? ” Mrs. Lanfrey inquired, lazily in- different.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Even if you are a professor of English, do you feel like reading now, Hunt? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Everybody have a good morning?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Excuse us, wo n't you, please, Mr. Bartlett? ” Mrs. Lanfrey said.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Feeling better, old man? ” he inquired.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Followed you into Mrs. Gorell's room, you mean?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ French? ” he said, when I had done.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Gave them?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Gone? ” echoed the Captain.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Gorell had n't come to the landing place when we left shore. ” “ Did n't show up for lunch at all? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Had breakfast, you fellows? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Half an hour. ”"What did you do? ” “ Nothing.
mdp.39015063891116	“ He can be the gayest dog in the kennel, when he wants to. ” “ Are the Gorells there? ”"No.
mdp.39015063891116	“ He did n't?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ He's got Quigley's dice-"“ Quigley's dice? ” Lanfrey's voice rose slightly in sur- prise.
mdp.39015063891116	“ How about you, French?
mdp.39015063891116	“ How did Dr. Gorell meet his death?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How did it get there? ” “ I do n't know, sir.
mdp.39015063891116	“ How did it happen?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How did you come to throw it overboard?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How did you get these dice, Starr? ” “ From Mr. Quigley, sir.
mdp.39015063891116	“ How do I know?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How do you feel, Jay?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How do you mean? ”"I do n't know, ” Mrs. Lanfrey replied.
mdp.39015063891116	“ How do you suppose the murderer got in here last night, anyway, Benny? ” Rogers suddenly asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ How in hell did it happen?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How long did you stay out?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ How's your patient? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Hungry?".
mdp.39015063891116	“ I could n't put it any more concisely, Captain. ” “ Did either of you see Quigley anywhere on your turn about deck?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ I heard six bells struck as I climbed the stairs, ” “ How long did you stay up?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ I was trying to tell you about Ardleigh. ” “ What about Ardleigh? ” “ He threw a bulky envelope overboard last night.
mdp.39015063891116	“ I'm quite sure there was n't anything of the kind~""And once more what of it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ I've been here long enough. ” “ Well, maybe you can. ” Lanfrey was silent a moment, then added: “ Who socked you the other night, Jay?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ I've been wondering if it is so much grief as it is just thinking,"“ Thinking?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ I- I was wakeful and came up on deck for a while. ”"When was that?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Instantaneous; no question of it-""Heart attack?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Is Jimmy dead? ” The sound of her voice drew the general attention to her.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Is he as mean as he looks?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Is n't it splendid of him?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Is that old buzzard putting them away at his time of life?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Is that you, Benny?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ It would start following me from the galley and I would shoo it back, sir. ”"Where did you keep it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ It's cook's knife, sir. ”"Where did he keep it? ” “ In the galley beside the meat block. ”"Have you a key to the galley?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ It's cook's knife, sir. ”"Where did he keep it? ” “ In the galley beside the meat block. ”"Have you a key to the galley?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Jack told me, ”"Quigley told you all that himself?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Just packing up. ”"Packing?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Keep your appetite and you can have real food for breakfast. ” “ Why not now?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Kill him?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Lanfrey?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Like her? ” he inquired proudly.
mdp.39015063891116	“ May I inquire what you do? ” “ I'm the artist.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Me? ” he echoed at last.
mdp.39015063891116	“ No? ” said Lanfrey, renewing his menacing manner.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Now why would I forget Hunt?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Now, what about Mrs. Gorell? ” Lanfrey pursued.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Oh, this?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Reba,'he said'what am I to do?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Rogers, how about you?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Running away from them, are you?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ See it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ See what? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Shall we take a little exercise? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ She knew him?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Sit down, wo n't you? ” and Lanfrey pointed the two of them to chairs.
mdp.39015063891116	“ So far as you know, then, Quigley went on to his room?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Something familiar about them, is n't there?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Something she said a few days ago_ ”"Has it any bearing on what Reba has just told us? ” the Captain asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ That's all, sir. ” “ What was the argument about?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ The scarlet crab, sir?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ The widow, of course, would not wish it otherwise?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Then what did you do?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Then what happened?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ There is n't anything wrong with you?
mdp.39015063891116	“ There is, is n't there? ” she said.
mdp.39015063891116	“ There's been a rumor around the University for quite a while that Gorell was working on something big, ” “ What? ” “ Nobody knows.
mdp.39015063891116	“ There's enough there surely to last an expedition of this kind six months at least. ” “ There's movie film here, too, is n't there?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ There's something down there on the lower deck. ”"What? ” He came to my side and looked down.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Think we ought to investigate?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Was that Bartlett who spoke? ”"I thought it was. ” Somebody approached and laid gentle hands upon my face.
mdp.39015063891116	“ We're going to Chat- ham Island,"“ What for? ” demanded the girl.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Well, do you think the rest of us are safe, then? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What about Ardleigh, Benny?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What about Ardleigh, Benny?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What are you trying to do?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What are you up to now, Hunt? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What did you go in there for? ” “ I did n't, I tell you.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What do you expect me to know, locked up in here?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What do you know about it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What do you know about it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What do you think, French?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What do you want? ” he demanded, lying on his back on the bed as he struggled to right himself.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What if it was n't, now?
mdp.39015063891116	“ What is it, Ernest? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What's that? ” demanded Lanfrey, his voice crackling in our ears.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What's the great rush?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What's your name? ” “ Bartlett.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What's your solution of this thing — these mur- ders, to put it quite frankly?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ What? ” We quitted the rail and turned towards the companion- way.
mdp.39015063891116	“ What? ” “ There's no dressing gown; no slippers; no ivory cubes.
mdp.39015063891116	“ When do I get out of here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Where did you go that noon on shore, Starr — the day Dr. Gorell was murdered?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Where to?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Which was it?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Who is he? ” demanded Gorell, when I had exchanged a few words with the man.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Who was that? ” somebody asked.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Whose is it? ” he asked, turning it about.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Why do you pick on him?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Why unfortunately?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Why, that- it- why, Jack Quigley was the Gorells'son- in- law, then, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Why?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Will you swear to that in court, Jay?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Will you walk with me again some time?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Wo n't you sit down a few minutes?
mdp.39015063891116	“ Wonder what she wants in the lounge?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Yes, sir- ”"How did you know that? ” A trace of irritation was in his voice.
mdp.39015063891116	“ Yes, sir. ” “ How late were you on duty last night?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ Yes, sir. ” “ What about the second cook?
mdp.39015063891116	“ You knew that somebody murdered Mrs. Gorell last night- just across the passageway from you, did n't you? ”"I found that out this morning."
mdp.39015063891116	“ You know of course that Mr. Quigley was lost overboard last night, Ernest? ” he said.
mdp.39015063891116	“ You know that, Reba?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ You remember that little German camera we found in Quigley's stuff?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ You see it, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063891116	“ You're going, are n't you, Bartlett, in the first boat?"
mdp.39015063552221	A fiver, eh? mdp.39015063552221 A lady's gun, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	A magnificent structure, is n't it?
mdp.39015063552221	Admiring yourself?
mdp.39015063552221	Afraid?
mdp.39015063552221	Ah I You think so, eh? mdp.39015063552221 And Hartford House?"
mdp.39015063552221	And Lu?
mdp.39015063552221	And did you?
mdp.39015063552221	And do you?
mdp.39015063552221	And had the prisoner at the bar not given herself up to the police, I take it that her chances of escape from the country were pretty slim?
mdp.39015063552221	And now what is it all about?
mdp.39015063552221	And now, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	And stay up here for the rest of your life?
mdp.39015063552221	And the Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	And then what?
mdp.39015063552221	And what of the other witnesses? mdp.39015063552221 And what were you doing there?"
mdp.39015063552221	And what's it remarkable for?
mdp.39015063552221	And when the revolver was found, you ordered her arrest?
mdp.39015063552221	And where did you get it from, Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	And where did you go after that?
mdp.39015063552221	And where did you go?
mdp.39015063552221	And where do we live? mdp.39015063552221 And why have you come to me?
mdp.39015063552221	And why the deliberation, old man?
mdp.39015063552221	And you have nothing to add to what you have already told us?
mdp.39015063552221	And you trust them?
mdp.39015063552221	And you were n't pinched for dangerous driving?
mdp.39015063552221	And you would n't leave me for worlds, would you?
mdp.39015063552221	Any more men downstairs, Brownall? mdp.39015063552221 Anything special?"
mdp.39015063552221	Are you all right, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	Are you tired of stopping here? mdp.39015063552221 As long as that, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	At Moorgate Police Station?— quizzically.
mdp.39015063552221	At your instigation?
mdp.39015063552221	At — er — what time did Wessmor get his — er — just deserts?
mdp.39015063552221	Bit on the small side, doc, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063552221	Bobby Baynes's sister?
mdp.39015063552221	But what had you to fear?
mdp.39015063552221	But who was that rude fellow who nearly knocked me down just now?
mdp.39015063552221	But you took steps to have her followed?
mdp.39015063552221	Ca n't he? mdp.39015063552221 Ca n't you hold the blankety thing still?
mdp.39015063552221	Can I help, my dear?
mdp.39015063552221	Close home, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	Could I borrow the key of your Wembley house?
mdp.39015063552221	Could you guess?
mdp.39015063552221	Did you get it this time?
mdp.39015063552221	Did you know then that Westmore was dead?
mdp.39015063552221	Did you?— innocently.
mdp.39015063552221	Do I what?
mdp.39015063552221	Do you know Worthington Westmore?
mdp.39015063552221	Do you mean Mr. Tucker?— inexorably.
mdp.39015063552221	Eh?
mdp.39015063552221	Er — voluntarily?
mdp.39015063552221	Even inviting her to your home?
mdp.39015063552221	Fear?
mdp.39015063552221	Fingerprints?
mdp.39015063552221	For me? mdp.39015063552221 Got any lethal weapons?"
mdp.39015063552221	Got him, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	Half- past eight, eh? mdp.39015063552221 Half- past eight, eh?"
mdp.39015063552221	Hallo I That you, Muriel? mdp.39015063552221 Hallo?"
mdp.39015063552221	Have one on the house, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	Have you any news for me?
mdp.39015063552221	Higgy I I thought it was one of your axioms that the truth hurt no one? mdp.39015063552221 Higgy I You — you will tell me the truth, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Higgy here? mdp.39015063552221 Higgy, why have n't you arrested me?"
mdp.39015063552221	Him?
mdp.39015063552221	How did you guess?
mdp.39015063552221	How do I know till you tell me? mdp.39015063552221 How do I know?
mdp.39015063552221	How do you know?
mdp.39015063552221	How long have you been on the roof?
mdp.39015063552221	How long will he be?
mdp.39015063552221	How many gardeners do you employ there?
mdp.39015063552221	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063552221	I can speak in confidence, of course?
mdp.39015063552221	I did, sir, but..."Who is it?
mdp.39015063552221	I presume you were up to the same dodge that other time, when you were caught?
mdp.39015063552221	I thought you said there was no one at home?
mdp.39015063552221	I want a look over the roof, if I may?
mdp.39015063552221	Infamous, you mean, surely?
mdp.39015063552221	Infinities? mdp.39015063552221 Inside?"
mdp.39015063552221	Is that you, Higgy, dear?
mdp.39015063552221	It is your house, I suppose?
mdp.39015063552221	It was your man, was n't it?— apprehensively.
mdp.39015063552221	Know who?
mdp.39015063552221	Like Micawber, eh? mdp.39015063552221 May — may I speak, my lord?
mdp.39015063552221	Meant ter? mdp.39015063552221 Meant ter?"
mdp.39015063552221	Must you?— half- heartedly.
mdp.39015063552221	None, eh? mdp.39015063552221 Not even to circumvent a charge of murder?"
mdp.39015063552221	Not exactly an opportune moment to come and get me, is it?
mdp.39015063552221	Not in our files?
mdp.39015063552221	Not one of Westmore?
mdp.39015063552221	Now then, quite bluntly, whom do you suspect?
mdp.39015063552221	Of course I Why should n't it be?
mdp.39015063552221	Oh I Is that you, Higgy? mdp.39015063552221 Oh I""No chance of a reprieve, I hope?
mdp.39015063552221	Oh, ca n't I?— nastily.
mdp.39015063552221	Oh, you, sir, is it? mdp.39015063552221 Or pinched?"
mdp.39015063552221	Pardon, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	Pinched, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	Quite frankly, Mr. Higgins, how do I stand?
mdp.39015063552221	Sergeant Brownall? mdp.39015063552221 Sir?"
mdp.39015063552221	Sir?
mdp.39015063552221	So you confess to setting fire to that house at Wembley?
mdp.39015063552221	Something misfired?
mdp.39015063552221	Sure, sir? mdp.39015063552221 That was n't very kind, was it?"— gently.
mdp.39015063552221	The Angel all right?
mdp.39015063552221	The Tommy Tucker business off?
mdp.39015063552221	The first time you've seen it, I suppose? mdp.39015063552221 The man you struck whilst I held him?"— brutally.
mdp.39015063552221	The roof? mdp.39015063552221 Then it was you who were threatening him?"
mdp.39015063552221	Then why did you visit him in hospital? mdp.39015063552221 Then why do n't you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Then you did not enter the house the first time?
mdp.39015063552221	Time? mdp.39015063552221 Tommy Tucker?
mdp.39015063552221	Tommy, eh? mdp.39015063552221 W- what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063552221	Was he drunk, do you think?
mdp.39015063552221	Well — er"Higgy I Had I been a man would you have arrested me before this?
mdp.39015063552221	Well, Higgins? mdp.39015063552221 Well, I — er""Is it because I'm beautiful?
mdp.39015063552221	Well, Inspector? mdp.39015063552221 Well, Lu?
mdp.39015063552221	Well, Tommy? mdp.39015063552221 Well?"
mdp.39015063552221	What about coming to have a spot of lunch with me some time or other? mdp.39015063552221 What about him?"
mdp.39015063552221	What about the missus?
mdp.39015063552221	What d'you make o'that, Mercier?
mdp.39015063552221	What do you know of Tommy Tucker, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	What do you make of'em?
mdp.39015063552221	What do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063552221	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063552221	What exactly are you driving at, Higgins?
mdp.39015063552221	What has my man been up to?
mdp.39015063552221	What have I done now, Higgy, me boy?
mdp.39015063552221	What is it, Angel?— gently.
mdp.39015063552221	What is it, Tommy?
mdp.39015063552221	What is it, man? mdp.39015063552221 What is on your mind, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063552221	What is that?
mdp.39015063552221	What of your food? mdp.39015063552221 What paper was it, Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	What time did you leave Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	What was he like?
mdp.39015063552221	What were you doing in that office, Tommy?
mdp.39015063552221	What would you?
mdp.39015063552221	What — what are you going to do with me, Higgy?
mdp.39015063552221	What's the big idea, Higgy?
mdp.39015063552221	What's the matter with her?
mdp.39015063552221	What's the matter, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	What's the matter, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	What's the trouble?
mdp.39015063552221	What's your theory, Brownall?
mdp.39015063552221	What's yours?
mdp.39015063552221	When?
mdp.39015063552221	Where did you get it?
mdp.39015063552221	Where was he sitting? mdp.39015063552221 Where were you hiding on the roof?"
mdp.39015063552221	Where — where's Wessmor?
mdp.39015063552221	Where?
mdp.39015063552221	Which lady?
mdp.39015063552221	Who are you, and what do you want?
mdp.39015063552221	Who is she?
mdp.39015063552221	Who put you on to this?
mdp.39015063552221	Who took this in?
mdp.39015063552221	Who with, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	Who would take a Chinaman's oath?— bitterly.
mdp.39015063552221	Who's there?
mdp.39015063552221	Who's this Wessmor? mdp.39015063552221 Whose house is it?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why did you ask the prisoner to your home, Inspector?
mdp.39015063552221	Why did you take those offices in Hartford House?
mdp.39015063552221	Why have you only three months to live? mdp.39015063552221 Why not ask him?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why? mdp.39015063552221 Why?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why?
mdp.39015063552221	Why?
mdp.39015063552221	Will you tell me why? — the Wembley business, I mean.
mdp.39015063552221	Window, is it? mdp.39015063552221 Without any clothes?"
mdp.39015063552221	Witness, do you realize the gravity of your statement?
mdp.39015063552221	Wo n't mind?
mdp.39015063552221	Wot's the big idea?
mdp.39015063552221	Would you please repeat that, Higgy?
mdp.39015063552221	Would you? mdp.39015063552221 Yes, sir?"
mdp.39015063552221	Yes?
mdp.39015063552221	Yes?
mdp.39015063552221	Yet you did not arrest her forthwith?
mdp.39015063552221	You agree? mdp.39015063552221 You are sure?"
mdp.39015063552221	You are trying to imply that you did n't write this, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	You could drive?'' mdp.39015063552221 You did, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	You do, eh? mdp.39015063552221 You have n't put the car away, have you?"
mdp.39015063552221	You have? mdp.39015063552221 You mean he has an office here?"
mdp.39015063552221	You mean that someone here changed that fiver?
mdp.39015063552221	You rang, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	You say you saw no one leave this building, Constable?
mdp.39015063552221	You sent for me, Lu?
mdp.39015063552221	You think it valuable, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	You think so?
mdp.39015063552221	You were on your way to see me, I suppose?
mdp.39015063552221	You will swear that you left Preston Building at eight o'clock?
mdp.39015063552221	You wish me to believe that Worthington Westmore presented you with this wallet, and its contents, just as it is?
mdp.39015063552221	You — er — didn't write it yourself, I suppose?
mdp.39015063552221	You've come for police protection?
mdp.39015063552221	You've thought this all out before, Mr. Westmore, else why did you write to me? mdp.39015063552221 Your car?"
mdp.39015063552221	Your obedient servant, sir?
mdp.39015063552221	Your — er — private competitors?
mdp.39015063552221	''Anyone else handle it?
mdp.39015063552221	'Ow did you know that?"
mdp.39015063552221	'Phoned from the City, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	'Wot's the big idea?'
mdp.39015063552221	152 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION And why should Tucker be afraid of him?
mdp.39015063552221	174 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION Perhaps he had been merely curious as to what the police were up to?
mdp.39015063552221	178 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION And honestly now — what could he do?
mdp.39015063552221	19 40 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION What was she doing in that beautiful garden at the top of Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	234 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION"Why did he do it?"
mdp.39015063552221	32 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION"What do you think?"
mdp.39015063552221	42 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION Why should men of wealth be able to buy the souls of such as she?
mdp.39015063552221	88 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION Supposing the Yard undertook Worthington West- more's protection until the three days were up, what then?
mdp.39015063552221	?"
mdp.39015063552221	A prisoner or not?
mdp.39015063552221	After all, was it likely that Westmore would bring the receipts for his Wembley expenses to Preston Building to file?
mdp.39015063552221	Also, how was she off for funds?
mdp.39015063552221	And Lu?
mdp.39015063552221	And Tommy Tucker's abortive attempt to purloin some official notepaper?
mdp.39015063552221	And Tommy Tucker?
mdp.39015063552221	And a bomb from an aeroplane?
mdp.39015063552221	And after you were turfed out?"
mdp.39015063552221	And even more valuable, from a monetary point of view, to you — if you could find the owner, eh?"
mdp.39015063552221	And his Duty?
mdp.39015063552221	And honestly — who could blame her?
mdp.39015063552221	And how had the letter got into the drawer?
mdp.39015063552221	And how to tell him?
mdp.39015063552221	And if flight — from what?
mdp.39015063552221	And if he called at the building what would be his excuse?
mdp.39015063552221	And is there another exit?"
mdp.39015063552221	And no use asking him for the information; he would only lie, and who could blame him?
mdp.39015063552221	And now Higgins knew Tommy's bolt- hole, of what practical use was it?
mdp.39015063552221	And the Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	And the iron grips?
mdp.39015063552221	And the other patient?"
mdp.39015063552221	And the safe being empty, where had Tommy parked its contents?
mdp.39015063552221	And the two shots which followed?
mdp.39015063552221	And there was a certain satisfaction in the fact that the Angel was shortly to be — was"released"the word?
mdp.39015063552221	And what about Messrs. Quintin and Co.?
mdp.39015063552221	And what about that uniformed constable who had been on the beat near Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	And what can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063552221	And what do you think I did with the weapon — ate it?"
mdp.39015063552221	And what hold had he upon the Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	And what notice would he take of any warning?
mdp.39015063552221	And what now?"
mdp.39015063552221	And what of the fingerprints on the revolver? — the fingerprints which an expert went to great pains to prove were made by my client.
mdp.39015063552221	And what the deuce was this?
mdp.39015063552221	And what was behind that pantomime of a moment before?
mdp.39015063552221	And what was he to do about it?
mdp.39015063552221	And what was the reason, if any, for the visit?
mdp.39015063552221	And what would Mrs. Higgins say if he funked it?
mdp.39015063552221	And what would Muriel say?
mdp.39015063552221	And what would the lady be like?
mdp.39015063552221	And where did Scotland Yard come in?
mdp.39015063552221	And where had he been hiding?
mdp.39015063552221	And where on earth was Worthington Westmore?
mdp.39015063552221	And where was Lu at the time?
mdp.39015063552221	And why a woman at all?
mdp.39015063552221	And why did he remain hidden?
mdp.39015063552221	And why not?
mdp.39015063552221	And why should I?"
mdp.39015063552221	And why tell me now?"
mdp.39015063552221	And why the deuce had n't the inspector thought of this before?
mdp.39015063552221	And you changed it at the kiosk at the corner?"
mdp.39015063552221	And you'll let me know?"
mdp.39015063552221	And, by the way, where had he got to?
mdp.39015063552221	And, having done so, why burn down his house?"
mdp.39015063552221	And, to get back to the point, what was Tommy Tucker's interest in her?
mdp.39015063552221	Any other comments?"
mdp.39015063552221	Anyone speak to him?"
mdp.39015063552221	Anything to be learned from, say, the titles of the books?
mdp.39015063552221	Anything to report?
mdp.39015063552221	Anything to suggest?"
mdp.39015063552221	Anything unusual to report?"
mdp.39015063552221	Assume, for the moment, the note to be a genuine warning — what had happened?
mdp.39015063552221	At last:"Have you seen my garden, Inspector?
mdp.39015063552221	Barring Detective Inspector Higgins, the other important witnesses are a weird crew, are they not?
mdp.39015063552221	Black- mail?"
mdp.39015063552221	Brown?
mdp.39015063552221	But how had the Chinaman got into the room unless by the door?
mdp.39015063552221	But suppose, despite all these dissimilar- ities, a witness did manage to pick out a prisoner?
mdp.39015063552221	But that episode was amusing, was it not?
mdp.39015063552221	But where did you buy it?"
mdp.39015063552221	But whoever owned that house had good reason to keep his identity secret, else why wear gloves?
mdp.39015063552221	But why do such a stupid thing, unless it was the consuming vanity of a criminal?
mdp.39015063552221	But why had it suddenly become urgent to Tucker to hide traces of a car journey?
mdp.39015063552221	But without hat and coat?
mdp.39015063552221	But would n't this hypothetical man have pushed off the grapnel before this?
mdp.39015063552221	By skil- ful driving, force Tommy into the hedge?
mdp.39015063552221	By the way,"as the lift began its swift ascent,"can I get through the back of this building to the Bank?"
mdp.39015063552221	Call upon Tommy to pull up, when he dare n't let go his own driving- wheel?
mdp.39015063552221	Come to give yourself up, or what?"
mdp.39015063552221	Cuss it I He was finding things out from the titles I What would West- more's interest be in mistakes of criminals?
mdp.39015063552221	Did he?
mdp.39015063552221	Did n't I black his eye for him after- wards?"
mdp.39015063552221	Did that cause any marked diminution in his hilarity?"
mdp.39015063552221	Did that explain the dust- sheeted bedroom adjacent?
mdp.39015063552221	Did the door open inwards or outwards?
mdp.39015063552221	Did the phrase apply to another, and did Westmore know whom it was?
mdp.39015063552221	Did this mean anything?
mdp.39015063552221	Do you think I should have come here if I had been guilty?
mdp.39015063552221	Do you think I would n't have laid low until I could have got out of the country?
mdp.39015063552221	Do you want to leave?
mdp.39015063552221	Drunk or mad?
mdp.39015063552221	Eh?
mdp.39015063552221	Er — er""Who is he?"
mdp.39015063552221	Everything O.K., eh?
mdp.39015063552221	For in who else, in Preston Building, could Tommy Tucker have had an interest?
mdp.39015063552221	Furthermore, what did the Angel wish to com- municate to him?
mdp.39015063552221	Got a gun?
mdp.39015063552221	Had Westmore come across this warning amongst his papers and taken effective means to stop the Angel, whom he more than suspected?
mdp.39015063552221	Had Westmore seen this before he was murdered?
mdp.39015063552221	Had a lady lodged it?
mdp.39015063552221	Had he been building up one of his notorious alibis?
mdp.39015063552221	Had he gone there to spy upon the inspector, or had he some ulterior motive?
mdp.39015063552221	Had robbery been the motive of the murder and not revenge?
mdp.39015063552221	Hallo I Mr. Westmore?
mdp.39015063552221	Hallo I Records*?
mdp.39015063552221	Have a cigar?"
mdp.39015063552221	Having missed the books, might he not have missed some valuable clue?
mdp.39015063552221	He closed his eyes for a moment as though praying for guidance — possibly he was — then:"What have you to say?"
mdp.39015063552221	He should just about think there was I Had Jones seen that long tailor's dummy legging it for the gates?
mdp.39015063552221	He was fairly oiled, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	Higgins could n't imagine her giving copies away to her friends; but who ever did with passport photographs?
mdp.39015063552221	Honestly, now, do I look that sort of cove?"
mdp.39015063552221	How do I get up?"
mdp.39015063552221	How far was he justified in warning the irresponsible Tommy Tucker?
mdp.39015063552221	How long has this been going on?
mdp.39015063552221	How much did he know?
mdp.39015063552221	How much of her story could he now believe?
mdp.39015063552221	How's tricks?"
mdp.39015063552221	How?
mdp.39015063552221	If I shot him, do n't you think I should have bolted without waiting for you to arrive at Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	If Worthington Westmore had intended to give way all along, why the deuce had he come to the police in the first place?
mdp.39015063552221	If a bluff, what could be behind it all?
mdp.39015063552221	If a workman, why did the fellow hide?
mdp.39015063552221	If he knew of the millionaire's death he was dissembling pretty well; and if he did not know, what would be his reaction when he was told?
mdp.39015063552221	If he succeeded — well, was n't he already a sergeant?
mdp.39015063552221	In the first place — you are dead sure that this gentleman is the same?"
mdp.39015063552221	Is he thoroughly lit up?"
mdp.39015063552221	Is it logical to assume that he would have done this were he convinced of the prisoner's guilt?
mdp.39015063552221	Is it not possible that 12 • THE DOUBLE SOLUTION to- morrow there might be a new face in the queue outside the local labour exchange?"
mdp.39015063552221	Is it to be wondered at, therefore, that her fingerprints were found thereon?
mdp.39015063552221	Just now, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	May I use your'phone, sir?"
mdp.39015063552221	Might not her ostensible search for Mr. Westmore be a diplomatic fiction?
mdp.39015063552221	Might there not be an extension of the line through which the man was listening to all that was said?
mdp.39015063552221	Mr. Worthington Westmore, in spite of his wealth and influence, could n't equal that I And what was behind it all?
mdp.39015063552221	Name?
mdp.39015063552221	Never heard of him, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	No kin — to whom would Westmore leave his vast wealth?
mdp.39015063552221	No longer interested in the Eastern Trading Company, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	No?
mdp.39015063552221	Not Westmore, the million- aire?"
mdp.39015063552221	Now for a more serious question: how did you obtain this?"
mdp.39015063552221	Of course he could resign from the Force, but what else could he do?
mdp.39015063552221	Of course it could( and certainly would) be watched — but otherwise?
mdp.39015063552221	Oh, by the way, how did you get on over that Harrow train business?"
mdp.39015063552221	Oh, it's you again, is it?"
mdp.39015063552221	Or got a gun with which to defend himself?
mdp.39015063552221	Or had he again made a mistake and was chasing the wrong car?
mdp.39015063552221	Or had he some definite object in view?
mdp.39015063552221	Or should he make the fellow call upon him?
mdp.39015063552221	Or standing?"
mdp.39015063552221	Or was it a workman?
mdp.39015063552221	Or were they extraneous?
mdp.39015063552221	Out- wards?
mdp.39015063552221	Perhaps he could find time to- morrow — her after- noon off, was it?
mdp.39015063552221	Perhaps the Angel herself was the bone of contention between the two?
mdp.39015063552221	Possibly he has torn up the particulars by now, but''"And what was the most important engagement?"
mdp.39015063552221	Purely academic, or had he an ulterior motive?
mdp.39015063552221	Satisfied?"
mdp.39015063552221	She's all right, I suppose?
mdp.39015063552221	She's got you too, has she?"
mdp.39015063552221	Should he or should he not recall the watcher from Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	Show her up — it is a'her', I suppose? — and stand by outside for trouble."
mdp.39015063552221	Someone in the Yard, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	Such a nice man, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	Supposing Tommy Tucker tried to put a spoke in his wheel?
mdp.39015063552221	Supposing he managed to hit a tyre, what would happen?
mdp.39015063552221	Supposing the constable managed at last to catch Tommy Tucker, what then?
mdp.39015063552221	Surely Westmore would have searched her?
mdp.39015063552221	Surely there must be some evidence of those?
mdp.39015063552221	T.T.?
mdp.39015063552221	THE DOUBLE SOLUTION 101 And why the deuce had n't he left that uniformed constable at the main door of Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	THE DOUBLE SOLUTION 201 The Angel, what of her?
mdp.39015063552221	THE DOUBLE SOLUTION 233"As bad as that, eh?"
mdp.39015063552221	THE DOUBLE SOLUTION 67"Why did you tell me to beat it?"
mdp.39015063552221	THE DOUBLE SOLUTION 79"You'll excuse me, wo n't you, Higgins?"
mdp.39015063552221	That?you, Mercier?
mdp.39015063552221	The Angel chuckled; then Inspector Higgins inquired:"And what are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063552221	The Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	The desk should be useful when the time came, but was he justified in searching it now?
mdp.39015063552221	The doctor knew what he was talking about, I suppose?"— innocently.
mdp.39015063552221	The inspector's heart gave a bound, he flung open the door » 9 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION 221 Fingerprints?
mdp.39015063552221	The others?
mdp.39015063552221	The parson had n't made any arrangements for Tommy's escape — or had he?
mdp.39015063552221	The traffic constable would'phone all right, but what about that idiot at Preston Building?
mdp.39015063552221	The whole thing, therefore, might be a gigantic bluff on the part of Tommy Tucker, in which case what was his object?
mdp.39015063552221	Then abruptly:"Any kiddies?"
mdp.39015063552221	Then where had she met Tommy Tucker?
mdp.39015063552221	Then where was it?
mdp.39015063552221	Then why had n't she bolted in the first place?
mdp.39015063552221	Then with a solemn, impressive air:"Miss Mountjoy, did you, or did you not, on the evening of the first of April last, kill Worthington Westmore?"
mdp.39015063552221	Then, as no reply was forthcoming:"Has she too big a hold upon you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Then, suddenly, as though to catch the inspector off his guard:"What did that man want with you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Then:"Who lives here besides yourself, Lu, and the Angel?"
mdp.39015063552221	Three — four — five hundred?
mdp.39015063552221	True, she had seemed to leave the instrument, but might not that have been at West- more's command?
mdp.39015063552221	Was Westmore trying his hand at the double- cross?
mdp.39015063552221	Was he featured?
mdp.39015063552221	Was he mistaken, or did Westmore seem embarrassed by the question?
mdp.39015063552221	Was he not taking an unnecessary risk in that direction?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it a delusion, or did Tommy Tucker start at this information?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it because of its proximity to Preston Building or because of its strategic position over the Eastern Trading Company?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it genuine or was it inspired by Worthing- ton Westmore?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it merely the normal workings of his acquisitive instincts?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it possible for a rifle bullet to look like the missile from a lady's revolver?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it possible, say, with the aid of a rifle, to reach those topmost windows?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it something to do with the Angel?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it usual for a man of his reputed wealth to wait up for his servants at night?
mdp.39015063552221	Was it worth following up?
mdp.39015063552221	Was she trying to vamp him?
mdp.39015063552221	Was the Angel on the roof when he had made his perilous ascent from the floor below, or was she hiding in here?
mdp.39015063552221	Was the dark secret in his life too awful to confess?
mdp.39015063552221	Was there a third party unknown responsible?
mdp.39015063552221	Was this thought the first step in unravelling the mystery of Westmore's secret past which had started the black- mailing attempt?
mdp.39015063552221	We've been having a little trouble with them over the roof — it leaks a bit, and"—heartily—"no need to remind them, is there?"
mdp.39015063552221	Well, sir, and what can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Well?
mdp.39015063552221	Well?"
mdp.39015063552221	Wembley?
mdp.39015063552221	Were the consequences too dire even to a man of his wealth?
mdp.39015063552221	Were these"Famous"books Westmore's money- boxes?
mdp.39015063552221	Wet through, what chance now had Tommy Tucker to escape?
mdp.39015063552221	What V you doing here?"
mdp.39015063552221	What about fire as a weapon to drive the millionaire from his bolt- hole?
mdp.39015063552221	What about it?"
mdp.39015063552221	What about sleeve- holsters, about which he had read so much in Wild West yarns?
mdp.39015063552221	What about the adjacent door marked"Private"?
mdp.39015063552221	What about the bookcase?
mdp.39015063552221	What about the door at the rear?
mdp.39015063552221	What about the roof?
mdp.39015063552221	What about to- morrow?"
mdp.39015063552221	What are you trying to tell me?"
mdp.39015063552221	What are you waiting for?
mdp.39015063552221	What could be Tommy Tucker's ulterior motive in trying to get the inspector to call on Worthington Westmore?
mdp.39015063552221	What d'you want me to do?"
mdp.39015063552221	What did Quintin know?
mdp.39015063552221	What did happen, Lu?"
mdp.39015063552221	What do you make a year?
mdp.39015063552221	What do you propose to do?"
mdp.39015063552221	What had 200 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION Tommy Tucker kept in that safe which Worthington Westmore was willing to risk so much to attain?
mdp.39015063552221	What had Tommy Tucker, if it had been Tommy, looked for on that occasion?
mdp.39015063552221	What had Westmore said on that occasion?
mdp.39015063552221	What had the Angel said?
mdp.39015063552221	What had the prospective murderer to gain, supposing he did succeed in carrying 86 THE DOUBLE SOLUTION out his threat?
mdp.39015063552221	What have you to say?"
mdp.39015063552221	What is it?"
mdp.39015063552221	What is it?"— testily.
mdp.39015063552221	What is the date?"
mdp.39015063552221	What malicious devil prompted him to withhold the news of Tommy Tucker's release?
mdp.39015063552221	What now should be bis mode of attack?
mdp.39015063552221	What of him?
mdp.39015063552221	What of the first?
mdp.39015063552221	What on earth had Tommy been up to on the roof of Hartford House?
mdp.39015063552221	What was Tommy Tucker doing here?

mdp.39015063552221	What was he hiding?
mdp.39015063552221	What was it?
mdp.39015063552221	What was the number of that note?
mdp.39015063552221	What was up now?
mdp.39015063552221	What were you doing between ten and ten- five on the evening Westmore was killed?"
mdp.39015063552221	What were you saying?"
mdp.39015063552221	What were you up to?"
mdp.39015063552221	What would he find when he got there?
mdp.39015063552221	What would he have to say?
mdp.39015063552221	What's her name?"
mdp.39015063552221	What's that to you?
mdp.39015063552221	What's that?
mdp.39015063552221	What's that?
mdp.39015063552221	What's the attraction?"
mdp.39015063552221	What's the matter, me dear?"
mdp.39015063552221	When Worthington Westmore had kidnapped(?)
mdp.39015063552221	When did he leave?"
mdp.39015063552221	When did it come in?
mdp.39015063552221	Where did they fit?
mdp.39015063552221	Where did this road lead?
mdp.39015063552221	Where did you find it?"
mdp.39015063552221	Where did you get that from?"
mdp.39015063552221	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063552221	Where was she mixed up in this?
mdp.39015063552221	Where were you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Which did he mean?
mdp.39015063552221	Which?
mdp.39015063552221	Who cooks that?"
mdp.39015063552221	Who had helped him remove the body of the millionaire?
mdp.39015063552221	Who is he?"
mdp.39015063552221	Who was on the main gate here when we made our most effective entry?"

mdp.39015063552221	Who?
mdp.39015063552221	Who?
mdp.39015063552221	Whoever would'a'thought it?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why did n't he set her mind at rest?
mdp.39015063552221	Why did you visit him?
mdp.39015063552221	Why did you?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why do n't you ask him?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why had Westmore employed a professional cracks- man as a personal servant, knowing him to be such?
mdp.39015063552221	Why had he needed those?
mdp.39015063552221	Why had it been necessary for the man to visit Tommy Tucker in hospital, and what passed between them?
mdp.39015063552221	Why had n't she kept quiet?
mdp.39015063552221	Why not?"
mdp.39015063552221	Why packed?
mdp.39015063552221	Why the deuce did n't Westmore come out into the open?
mdp.39015063552221	Why the deuce had n't he thought of this before?

mdp.39015063552221	Will you join me at breakfast?
mdp.39015063552221	Will you see him?"
mdp.39015063552221	Wod- yer- mean?"
mdp.39015063552221	Would he have risked contaminating and possibly endangering his wife by bringing a murderess to his home?
mdp.39015063552221	Would he never catch the elusive Tommy Tucker?
mdp.39015063552221	Would he not have parked his car round a convenient corner, well within jumping distance, in case he had to beat a hurried retreat?
mdp.39015063552221	Would it have any bearing on the Preston Mystery?
mdp.39015063552221	Yet how could Tommy Tucker have known that he would be asked to leave?
mdp.39015063552221	Yet, if Westmore had not seen it, how on earth had it got into his drawer?
mdp.39015063552221	You have n't seen'em, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	You know that?"
mdp.39015063552221	You were waiting for some- one to come along to find that gun, and then you had'em, eh?
mdp.39015063552221	You wo n't try to escape again, my dear?"
mdp.39015063552221	You'ere?"
mdp.39015063552221	You're happy here, are n't you, my dear?"
mdp.39015063552221	You're quite sure, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	You're the famous Tommy Tucker, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	You've been warned, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	You've circulated reports, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	You've no prior claim, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063552221	and was Tommy likely to have driven right up to the block of flats?
mdp.39015063552221	haw I Get in front and then slow down?
mdp.39015063552221	he began, but was interrupted with a further query:"And to- day's Wednesday, I believe?"

mdp.39015063552221	the Angel, had she even then been upon the point of flight?
mdp.39015063552221	was it not possible that neither the Angel nor Tommy Tucker were actively concerned?
mdp.39015063552221	what of that telephone message?
mdp.39015063552221	which she had been about to divulge when Westmore had interrupted her in order to present his little comedy?
mdp.39015063552221	yet how many wives in a thousand would help a girl so beautiful as the Angel at the request of their respective husbands?
mdp.39015063554052	A game, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	A ghost?
mdp.39015063554052	About where it joins Isham Park?
mdp.39015063554052	Against you, Aunt Henrietta? mdp.39015063554052 Am I right?
mdp.39015063554052	An- other what?
mdp.39015063554052	And him coming up here so innocent to touch you for a measly thousand or so — and what 222 DEAD END STREET become of him? mdp.39015063554052 And if so?"
mdp.39015063554052	And let you have the laugh on me if I happen to be wrong? mdp.39015063554052 And my father did n't mention anything — queer- about them?
mdp.39015063554052	And what's the stain?
mdp.39015063554052	And who knows what's good for him?
mdp.39015063554052	Any news from the western front?
mdp.39015063554052	Any other marks of violence?
mdp.39015063554052	Apparently you're right for once, but where does that get you?
mdp.39015063554052	Are you asking me?
mdp.39015063554052	Are you both working on a case?
mdp.39015063554052	Are you telling me?
mdp.39015063554052	But do n't you know for yourself, Mr. Arthur? mdp.39015063554052 But he's gone?"
mdp.39015063554052	But who? mdp.39015063554052 By Marmaduke Cripes?"
mdp.39015063554052	Ca n't I see to things around the house if I'm will- ing to, Miss Fresno? mdp.39015063554052 Can I believe my ears?"
mdp.39015063554052	Can you hear me?
mdp.39015063554052	Can you tell me the time, Boss?
mdp.39015063554052	Can you tell us anything definite, Miss Sally?
mdp.39015063554052	Could you get upstairs?
mdp.39015063554052	D'you mind telling me what • you're thinking?
mdp.39015063554052	Did Finkleburg get word to 230 AND BACK 831 you to have a couple of men cover that old house on Seaman Avenue, back and front?
mdp.39015063554052	Did Wiggar let you out like that?
mdp.39015063554052	Did he — was he by any chance — a psychiatrist?
mdp.39015063554052	Did you and McGuirk figure that you'd been working for the same man?
mdp.39015063554052	Did you call me, sir?
mdp.39015063554052	Did you get in around the boats there in the cove? mdp.39015063554052 Did you get the sack, John?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did you make an investigation? mdp.39015063554052 Did you notice the face — at all?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did you see the letter?
mdp.39015063554052	Did you see this, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	Did your father never tell you about him?
mdp.39015063554052	Do I look like that kind of a nut?
mdp.39015063554052	Do n't mind if I join the party do you? mdp.39015063554052 Do n't see many rough characters?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do n't you know he looked exactly like me — or I like him?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you believe in heredity?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you believe in old influences — of spirits? mdp.39015063554052 Do you feel it necessary to be equally non- committal?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you include my own private war, Miss Sally? mdp.39015063554052 Do you know for a fact, Peters,"he asked seriously,"that John is illiterate?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you know the brown horse with the white star right here?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you know?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you notice anything peculiar right around here?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you think that?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you think yon's a Sunday School that behaves when the teacher's not looking? mdp.39015063554052 Does he know anything?"
mdp.39015063554052	Does it seem hardly fair, Pete? mdp.39015063554052 Does my aunt know?"
mdp.39015063554052	Does n't it seem close in here?
mdp.39015063554052	Does the doctor? mdp.39015063554052 Duffy's beat was along there somewhere?"
mdp.39015063554052	Everything quiet above?
mdp.39015063554052	Face to face and no phony business is my motto, from now on, see? mdp.39015063554052 Felt what, sir?"

mdp.39015063554052	Finkleburg?
mdp.39015063554052	For now?
mdp.39015063554052	For the love of Mike what kind of a place is this?
mdp.39015063554052	For the love of seventeen different kinds of tripe, did n't you say quarter past eleven?
mdp.39015063554052	Forgery? mdp.39015063554052 Found anything, Finkleburg?"
mdp.39015063554052	Good gracious, how could you go and get back so quickly?
mdp.39015063554052	Graft? mdp.39015063554052 Have n't his jobs been rather trifling, small- town stuff, all but that Newport one?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have n't you anything to tell me?
mdp.39015063554052	Have you any idea where I can find a tape measure?
mdp.39015063554052	Have you felt it, too?
mdp.39015063554052	Have you heard anything from John? mdp.39015063554052 Have you seen Arthur Madison this morning?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have — have there ever been any stories — any queer stories about our house — this one that my grandfather built?
mdp.39015063554052	He attacked you, Miss?
mdp.39015063554052	He did n't tell you on what evidence my uncle in- sisted on discharging him?
mdp.39015063554052	He is n't?
mdp.39015063554052	He must be drunk or he would n't have tried to — to —"Do you know this guy?
mdp.39015063554052	He told me — what was it he told me? mdp.39015063554052 How about the servants you have to mix with?"
mdp.39015063554052	How did the rope get hooked onto the heavy piece of furniture you talk of — I mean in the first place? mdp.39015063554052 How do you know that?"
mdp.39015063554052	How do you know?
mdp.39015063554052	How is he, Peters?
mdp.39015063554052	How many flights?
mdp.39015063554052	How'd you find out this was the house?
mdp.39015063554052	How's Tom Tracy?
mdp.39015063554052	How, if you do n't mind, sir—he was panting a little—"did you know that Mr. Ross was not as afflicted as he seemed?"
mdp.39015063554052	Hum- m- m?
mdp.39015063554052	Hum- m- m?
mdp.39015063554052	I asked him,'Do you see anything now?' mdp.39015063554052 I suppose I'm not to come with you?"
mdp.39015063554052	I'm sure something — oh, what's that?
mdp.39015063554052	If there'd been even as many as two would n't they have carried him?
mdp.39015063554052	In that case — would you maybe like to have me come along to the bath house with you, sir, and help you to dress? mdp.39015063554052 In which you can dispense with the aid of the police?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is he shrewd enough for that?
mdp.39015063554052	Is n't it too heavy?
mdp.39015063554052	Is n't the shade real if it comes from new trees then?
mdp.39015063554052	Is there anything more I can do?
mdp.39015063554052	Is this where you live now?
mdp.39015063554052	It was in the left hand drawer? mdp.39015063554052 It was?"
mdp.39015063554052	It would n't help you to — to talk to someone? mdp.39015063554052 John is the young man's valet?"
mdp.39015063554052	Looks kinda bad, does n't it?
mdp.39015063554052	May I help you, sir?
mdp.39015063554052	Meaning anything in particular?
mdp.39015063554052	Meaning he wanted you to send him a check?
mdp.39015063554052	Meaning we might go together, Miss?
mdp.39015063554052	Must be about nine, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063554052	No guest?
mdp.39015063554052	No?
mdp.39015063554052	No?
mdp.39015063554052	Not afterward? mdp.39015063554052 Not much imagination, and no violence?
mdp.39015063554052	Not suggesting your mother's putting poison in his pudding?
mdp.39015063554052	Nothing,Peter replied in a hushed voice,"but would you ever think you were still on Manhattan Island, Jake?
mdp.39015063554052	Now what do you make of it all?
mdp.39015063554052	Now what?
mdp.39015063554052	Now, Miss?
mdp.39015063554052	Oh, that's what you're asking, is it?
mdp.39015063554052	Oh, yeah? mdp.39015063554052 Oh- h- h?
mdp.39015063554052	Oh- h?
mdp.39015063554052	Oh?
mdp.39015063554052	On the other hand, sir?
mdp.39015063554052	Or do I?
mdp.39015063554052	Poor Mike had no family?
mdp.39015063554052	Sha n't I carry out that tray for you?
mdp.39015063554052	So then what?
mdp.39015063554052	So then?
mdp.39015063554052	So what?
mdp.39015063554052	So what?
mdp.39015063554052	So — your father was a doctor?
mdp.39015063554052	Some crook on parole — that Duffy was interested in — caught out on first?
mdp.39015063554052	Sporadic? mdp.39015063554052 Still at the hospital?"
mdp.39015063554052	Sure of what?
mdp.39015063554052	Swimming? mdp.39015063554052 Tell me, my dear,"he said in a low voice,"why do I find you — like this?"
mdp.39015063554052	The button?
mdp.39015063554052	The chauffeur sleeps in the garage?
mdp.39015063554052	The head is hollow, I suppose — and the body stuffed with sawdust?
mdp.39015063554052	The man that killed McGuirk?
mdp.39015063554052	The north wing was closed up for a time, was n't it?
mdp.39015063554052	Then you do think —"That Arthur's in danger? mdp.39015063554052 Then you knew my father when he was a boy, go DEAD END STREET Doctor Browning?"
mdp.39015063554052	This one?
mdp.39015063554052	To put it plainly,Arthur burst out in a low hard voice,"was there ever any story that the old house — IN THE MORNING 199 is haunted?
mdp.39015063554052	Tom,he repeated, quietly insistent,"do you ever wake up — and walk around — down here — in the night?"
mdp.39015063554052	Want any help?
mdp.39015063554052	Want me to try, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	Was he there?
mdp.39015063554052	Was it chance, Jake? mdp.39015063554052 Was it interest in your job, as you call it, that prompted your inquiry yesterday?"
mdp.39015063554052	Was that part of the chauffeur's work?
mdp.39015063554052	Was that pretty straight?
mdp.39015063554052	We 36 DEAD END STREET do n't want to run into or over anybody, do we?
mdp.39015063554052	We could go around that way into the park — along the shore and through Inwood — to the place where Duffy was found, could n't we?
mdp.39015063554052	Well, ai n't this nice?
mdp.39015063554052	Well, he could hardly pose for Miss America, now could he, Mr. Arthur? mdp.39015063554052 Well, then, what's the matter?"
mdp.39015063554052	Well, well, is that so?
mdp.39015063554052	Well, what do you think?
mdp.39015063554052	Well,said Kerrigan clearing his throat roughly,"do you want any more, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	Well? mdp.39015063554052 What about the chauffeur?"
mdp.39015063554052	What are you coming in here for, John?
mdp.39015063554052	What are you doing? mdp.39015063554052 What are you saying?
mdp.39015063554052	What are you think- ing of? mdp.39015063554052 What brought you so far west — or east?
mdp.39015063554052	What crazy notion has he got in his head?
mdp.39015063554052	What d'you mean by that?
mdp.39015063554052	What did they give him?
mdp.39015063554052	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063554052	What do you mean by that, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	What do you think, you and William?
mdp.39015063554052	What else?
mdp.39015063554052	What got your goat, eh?
mdp.39015063554052	What in the world can you mean, Arthur?
mdp.39015063554052	What in thunder are you talking about? mdp.39015063554052 What is it that you want to tell me?"
mdp.39015063554052	What is it, Pete? mdp.39015063554052 What is it?"
mdp.39015063554052	What is there to go in a perfectly clue- less job like this? mdp.39015063554052 What is?"
mdp.39015063554052	What kind of a game?
mdp.39015063554052	What kind of a lay is it, John? mdp.39015063554052 What kind of a map is this, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	What sort of an accident was it, Uncle Leon?
mdp.39015063554052	What ways for instance?
mdp.39015063554052	What will happen if he does n't show up in the morning?
mdp.39015063554052	What would you be able to see, for goodness sake?
mdp.39015063554052	What — what is it?
mdp.39015063554052	What'd I be doing with blank checks? mdp.39015063554052 What're you doing, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	What's here?
mdp.39015063554052	What's in here?
mdp.39015063554052	What's it to you? mdp.39015063554052 What's it to you?"
mdp.39015063554052	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063554052	What's the trouble over here?
mdp.39015063554052	What's up, William? mdp.39015063554052 What's your opin- ion, William?"
mdp.39015063554052	What?
mdp.39015063554052	What?
mdp.39015063554052	What?
mdp.39015063554052	When?
mdp.39015063554052	Where do we go from here?
mdp.39015063554052	Where does this nut of yours—'innocents'they used to be called — where does he live?
mdp.39015063554052	Where's the boy's valet? mdp.39015063554052 Where's the photograph 188 DEAD END STREET that was in this drawer?"
mdp.39015063554052	Where?
mdp.39015063554052	Who am I the image of?
mdp.39015063554052	Who did this?
mdp.39015063554052	Who what is?
mdp.39015063554052	Whose?
mdp.39015063554052	Why do you think I need to be treated like a child, afraid of the — the dark?
mdp.39015063554052	Why do you think that?
mdp.39015063554052	Why not? mdp.39015063554052 Why the costume piece?"
mdp.39015063554052	Why, Sally, how could you?
mdp.39015063554052	Will you have an analysis made of a stain?
mdp.39015063554052	Will you just put off thinking I'm crazy, Jake, till I give you the whole works? mdp.39015063554052 Wo n't you eat your lunch while it is hot?"
mdp.39015063554052	Would I be such a sap as to hide the checks in a coat I was leaving in the house?
mdp.39015063554052	Would a shot o'gin help, sir?
mdp.39015063554052	Would you do some work for me some day, Tom?
mdp.39015063554052	Wrong? mdp.39015063554052 Yeah?
mdp.39015063554052	Yes, and of all the nutty —"But did you do it?
mdp.39015063554052	Yes, honey?
mdp.39015063554052	Yes?
mdp.39015063554052	You are n't hurt, ma'am?
mdp.39015063554052	You believe that, do you? mdp.39015063554052 You did know my Uncle Walter, my father's twin brother, Doctor Browning?"
mdp.39015063554052	You do n't 54 DEAD END STREET take much interest in out of town jobs do you, Jake?
mdp.39015063554052	You do n't sleep there, then?
mdp.39015063554052	You do n't think he slashed himself like that?
mdp.39015063554052	You do? mdp.39015063554052 You hoped for a few thrills?"
mdp.39015063554052	You knew he was — gone?
mdp.39015063554052	You know quite a bit about it, do n't you?
mdp.39015063554052	You mean John Postlethwait might be an as- sumed name?
mdp.39015063554052	You mean armed?
mdp.39015063554052	You mean he opened it at the back?
mdp.39015063554052	You mean that's his story?
mdp.39015063554052	You mean when he got the goods on John? mdp.39015063554052 You noticed that?"
mdp.39015063554052	You remember me, do n't you, Tom?
mdp.39015063554052	You said — your mother?
mdp.39015063554052	You think it would require special training?
mdp.39015063554052	You think she might have been guilty of wishing for her brother's death? mdp.39015063554052 You thought it — peculiar, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063554052	You understand what you're to do, Wiggar?
mdp.39015063554052	You're offering to read me to sleep?
mdp.39015063554052	You're sure about that?
mdp.39015063554052	You've been here nights since poor Duffy — went?
mdp.39015063554052	Your light? mdp.39015063554052 'Did you ever see this before?' mdp.39015063554052 'Well, then,'he said,'What's this?' mdp.39015063554052 10 DEAD END STREETWhy not?"
mdp.39015063554052	187 128 DEAD END STREET"What was it, Finkleburg?"
mdp.39015063554052	22 DEAD END STREET"And what does the noted private investigator, Mr. Peter Clancy, make of that?"
mdp.39015063554052	A connection with the ancient warehouses, whether for defending — or defrauding the then gov- ernment — who could say?
mdp.39015063554052	A pretty story, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063554052	A prowl around the grounds?
mdp.39015063554052	APARTMENT 426 47"Mrs. Howard, just what servants are there in that house?"
mdp.39015063554052	After a minute Postlethwait said thickly,"Go back to New York?
mdp.39015063554052	After a minute he ventured, soft but eager:"What made you suspect — in the first place, sir?"
mdp.39015063554052	All jittery over nothing and getting worse and worse?"
mdp.39015063554052	All the confidence that they had tried to instill — would it be strong enough to withstand this ordeal of waiting — watching — for what?
mdp.39015063554052	All the way back to little old New York?"
mdp.39015063554052	Am I, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	And as the stalwart policeman half carried the wounded man away,"Are you coming, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	And besides —"Arthur waited a minute, then he said in an odd voice,"Besides what, Aunt Henrietta?"
mdp.39015063554052	And especially yesterday morning when my uncle called me in to his room?"
mdp.39015063554052	And for what end?
mdp.39015063554052	And how about them two dames?
mdp.39015063554052	And how you begged your father for a pony?"
mdp.39015063554052	And just then Uncle said,'What's this?'
mdp.39015063554052	And no one was ever sure — were they, Leon?"
mdp.39015063554052	And not a trace —""You heard that terrible scream?"
mdp.39015063554052	And now you said —""Yes, Miss Sally?"
mdp.39015063554052	And the others?
mdp.39015063554052	And what about company?"
mdp.39015063554052	And what is that?
mdp.39015063554052	And what's this?"
mdp.39015063554052	And when our circum- stances are so — Good gracious, Sally, what are you do- ing?"
mdp.39015063554052	And written below in Kerrigan's cramped hand,"So what?"
mdp.39015063554052	And you could n't possibly have known —""Why, Sally, what's come over you?"
mdp.39015063554052	Anyhow it would kinda ease your mind to tell it out to yourself, would n't it?
mdp.39015063554052	Are n't we a happy family down here, Mr.—I beg your pardon, Peters?
mdp.39015063554052	Are you all trying to drive that swell kid, young Madison, nuts between you?
mdp.39015063554052	Are you listening, beautiful?"
mdp.39015063554052	Are you living here, by any chance?"
mdp.39015063554052	Are you really interested in trying to find out about Mike?
mdp.39015063554052	Arthur?"
mdp.39015063554052	Arthur?"
mdp.39015063554052	Arthur?"
mdp.39015063554052	Arthur?'
mdp.39015063554052	Back so soon?"
mdp.39015063554052	But I say, Jake, could n't you learn to care for the view?"
mdp.39015063554052	But I've seen you before — somewhere — haven't I?"
mdp.39015063554052	But he's never been pinched for anything else, Jake?
mdp.39015063554052	But if McGuirk blew the safe in that Tarrytown affair — eight days ago how did it happen that he was n't bumped off sooner?
mdp.39015063554052	But if he'd gone out in that boat, sooner or later he'd — Can you get me a little stick?
mdp.39015063554052	But if one had a key would one be likely to use a makeshift wad of leaves?
mdp.39015063554052	But is n't it queer that on three of those nights the 124 DEAD END STREET harbor police sighted — and lost — a launch running without lights?
mdp.39015063554052	But it is different upstairs, is n't it, Peter — Peters?"
mdp.39015063554052	But the actual murder?
mdp.39015063554052	But what was to be done about it?
mdp.39015063554052	But what'll the next one be like?
mdp.39015063554052	But why?"
mdp.39015063554052	But will you be able to man- age without one?"
mdp.39015063554052	But with a locked door?
mdp.39015063554052	But — sporadic — separate — isolated — Mike's death?
mdp.39015063554052	By the way, how'd you get on with that pent- house burglary that held you up this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063554052	By the way, what time did you get in?"
mdp.39015063554052	CHAPTER VI THE STREET WITH NO NAME"Are you going through with this, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	Ca n't you be serious?"
mdp.39015063554052	Ca n't you see he's not as well as what he was a month ago?
mdp.39015063554052	Ca n't you speak out?"
mdp.39015063554052	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554052	Confidence games?
mdp.39015063554052	Could it have been the same?
mdp.39015063554052	Could n't be better, could it, Mumsie?
mdp.39015063554052	Could we get hold of him to- night?"
mdp.39015063554052	Cramp?"
mdp.39015063554052	D'you mean to tell me you've been in- side?"
mdp.39015063554052	D'you really think that kid'll ever want to see me again?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did he now?
mdp.39015063554052	Did he?
mdp.39015063554052	Did he?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did n't I see you go out just now?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did n't you?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did you know it, my child?"
mdp.39015063554052	Did you see?
mdp.39015063554052	Did you stop in to see Milly Langham when you were out?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do n't I, Doctor Browning?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do n't you remember?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do n't you see Aunt Henrietta?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you imagine you're such a public character that even a nit- wit will recognize you?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you know horses?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you know where he could be reached?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you know?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you mind if I talk about him a little?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you mind?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you remember, Henrietta, that day we went fishing and the Isham gardener brought us home in a pony cart?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you remember, Jake, the story Cripes told about how he was per- suaded to act and then tricked?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you see anything queer?'
mdp.39015063554052	Do you suppose it was I who left you to hold the bag that time in Newport four years ago?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you think I'm a fool?
mdp.39015063554052	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015063554052	Do you?
mdp.39015063554052	Doctor Browning thinks he's being preyed upon —""Preyed?
mdp.39015063554052	Does he sleep at your garage?
mdp.39015063554052	Earth- bound?
mdp.39015063554052	Ever have the feeling?"
mdp.39015063554052	Explained?
mdp.39015063554052	For his pyjamas and tooth brush do you sup- pose?"
mdp.39015063554052	For what purpose?
mdp.39015063554052	Get the idea?
mdp.39015063554052	Getting natural, ai n't you?

mdp.39015063554052	Got it?
mdp.39015063554052	Had he gone to his room?
mdp.39015063554052	Had his eyes really played a trick on him?
mdp.39015063554052	Has n't he been with you some time?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have n't you any- thing better on your mind?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have you any idea what this seasoned crook was doing up at your joint on the hill?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have you any more little tricks up your sleeve?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have you been out of town lately?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have you figured anything out?"
mdp.39015063554052	Have you said, I'd like to take a hand in this game, Captain Kerrigan, with your kind permission?
mdp.39015063554052	He must have guessed — Do de- tectives know everything, Mr. Clancy?
mdp.39015063554052	He went on quickly:"My uncle said, where was this coat?
mdp.39015063554052	He will know —""Can I be of service, sir?"
mdp.39015063554052	He — or the servants — didn't — see — any- thing that could n't be explained?"
mdp.39015063554052	He'd never dream of suggesting —"jo DEAD END STREET"Look here, Jake, what's biting you?
mdp.39015063554052	How about you?"
mdp.39015063554052	How brought together?
mdp.39015063554052	How comes it you're in New York?
mdp.39015063554052	How could she tell what he was seeing — and yet keeping himself so horribly, deathly still?
mdp.39015063554052	How did you find that out then?"
mdp.39015063554052	How did you guess?"
mdp.39015063554052	How did you guess?"
mdp.39015063554052	How does that look?
mdp.39015063554052	How preserved?
mdp.39015063554052	How was it?
mdp.39015063554052	How was that, sir?"
mdp.39015063554052	How was that?"
mdp.39015063554052	How will you ever get along without him?
mdp.39015063554052	How would he en- dure these dragging minutes in the silent room where the hideous menace of madness had been ground into his very soul?
mdp.39015063554052	How would you explain that — to a judge?"
mdp.39015063554052	How's that?"
mdp.39015063554052	How?"
mdp.39015063554052	Howard?"
mdp.39015063554052	I do, do n't I?
mdp.39015063554052	I heard Uncle say,'What's that, Florence?'
mdp.39015063554052	I located it all right, did n't I?
mdp.39015063554052	I say, Petel""Yes?"
mdp.39015063554052	I'm sure you will if you — You wo n't go back on what you said about applying for the chauffeur's place?"
mdp.39015063554052	I'm there, in the glass, just like you?'
mdp.39015063554052	If I slip you the word when I get located will you kinda see Mr. Arthur do n't for- get?"
mdp.39015063554052	If he can bring them outside — see what I mean?
mdp.39015063554052	If their employer was actually a libertine what had the child not let herself in for?
mdp.39015063554052	In what way?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is n't there something terrible happening?
mdp.39015063554052	Is n't this your afternoon out?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is one expected?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is that clear?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is that fool a fool or is n't he, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is that plainer?
mdp.39015063554052	Is that what you call it?
mdp.39015063554052	Is there a short cut — for little pussies?
mdp.39015063554052	Is there a small launch anchored out a bit called the'Arethusia'?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is there any sense at all in the man?"
mdp.39015063554052	Is there anything queer?
mdp.39015063554052	It remained vacantly obliging while he asked:"Anything more I can do for you, sir?"
mdp.39015063554052	It was you that cried out so loud a few minutes ago, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063554052	Just 146 DEAD END STREET what was there against him?
mdp.39015063554052	Just accident?
mdp.39015063554052	Just one of those unaccountable, sporadic —""Are you so sure that's the word?"
mdp.39015063554052	Kerrigan, scarcely above a whisper, said:"What 242 DEAD END STREET now, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	May I help you with your coat, sir?"
mdp.39015063554052	Maybe you would n't mind letting me have a trouble light or something —""A trouble light?
mdp.39015063554052	Mr. Clancy, is it about that poor policeman that we read of in the papers?
mdp.39015063554052	No matter what — er — Ah — You were going to say some- thing?"
mdp.39015063554052	Not when —""When they were grown?"
mdp.39015063554052	Nothing against him is there?"
mdp.39015063554052	Notice that?
mdp.39015063554052	Now where's Tracy, Finkleburg?"
mdp.39015063554052	OK?
mdp.39015063554052	Oh, how is he?"
mdp.39015063554052	Oh, is that the new dressing gown?
mdp.39015063554052	Oh, must I tell you?"
mdp.39015063554052	Once a killer — and what has he after that to lose?
mdp.39015063554052	Or bad checks?"
mdp.39015063554052	Or do you just like to dress up funny?"
mdp.39015063554052	Or is the girl try- ing to cop him off, or what?
mdp.39015063554052	Pete, how're we going to enforce it when things happen like this?
mdp.39015063554052	Peter moved almost imperceptibly nearer,"You think there is a game going on up there?"
mdp.39015063554052	Presently a knock sounded on his door and the chauffeur's voice called out:"Have you got a glass, John?
mdp.39015063554052	Ready?"
mdp.39015063554052	ST. PETER'S CEMETERY 25"You mean traffic- lights?"
mdp.39015063554052	ST. PETER'S CEMETERY 31"What do you mean, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	See what I mean, Jake?"
mdp.39015063554052	See what I mean?"
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?
mdp.39015063554052	See?"
mdp.39015063554052	See?"
mdp.39015063554052	See?"
mdp.39015063554052	Shall I go get'em?"
mdp.39015063554052	Should he send Wiggar out to tell him luncheon was about to be served?
mdp.39015063554052	So it CHAPTER X in Arthur's bedroom"You're feeling better now, my boy?"
mdp.39015063554052	So now where do we go from here?"
mdp.39015063554052	So the person that sends me out all those delicious lunches — is your mother?"
mdp.39015063554052	So then, what?
mdp.39015063554052	So what?
mdp.39015063554052	So why should n't I do it myself?
mdp.39015063554052	Something special?"
mdp.39015063554052	Something there — I can only get one eye on it, but it looks — Got it?"
mdp.39015063554052	Spectre's Drugstore?
mdp.39015063554052	Success- ful, you may say, even now, for what witnesses have we?
mdp.39015063554052	That ai n't my — I mean how'd I pass'em, eh?
mdp.39015063554052	That is to say, Mr. Arthur, I did happen to observe an old portrait —""But you had nothing to do with its removal?"
mdp.39015063554052	That it, sir?
mdp.39015063554052	That takes care of them all — and who'd suspect?
mdp.39015063554052	That tall, swift figure, seen for an instant against the sky, could it have swerved and gone down the stairs to Broadway?
mdp.39015063554052	That's right, I suppose?
mdp.39015063554052	That's right, is n't it, Uncle?
mdp.39015063554052	That's the right expression, is n't it?
mdp.39015063554052	The thing broke yesterday morning, did n't it?
mdp.39015063554052	Then back in its FOUR A. M. 245 thwait?"
mdp.39015063554052	Then what?
mdp.39015063554052	Then why — I mean I have no right to force your con- fidence, Miss — What is your name?"
mdp.39015063554052	Then — Was she, too, going mad?
mdp.39015063554052	Then?
mdp.39015063554052	There was a handkerchief of mine — but who counts handkerchiefs?
mdp.39015063554052	Think I do n't know you, even if I did n't see your face that time?
mdp.39015063554052	UP THE BACK STAIRS 189"Pardon, sir?"
mdp.39015063554052	Uncle Leon said,'What did I tell you?
mdp.39015063554052	Under his breath he said,"That all, Jo?"
mdp.39015063554052	Understand?
mdp.39015063554052	Understand?"
mdp.39015063554052	Was Arthur any better this morning?
mdp.39015063554052	Was Sally Howard right after all in her romantic fancy?
mdp.39015063554052	Was it important?
mdp.39015063554052	Was it really a fev- erish fancy?
mdp.39015063554052	Was n't that a prospect to make one shiver with joyous emotion?"
mdp.39015063554052	Was that it?
mdp.39015063554052	Was there a fear in the boy's mind — of fatality?
mdp.39015063554052	We do, do n't we — John?"
mdp.39015063554052	Well, course I ai n't ever tried it myself,"Peter laughed,"but would n't it stand to reason you'd have to sling a mean quill to be a real good one?"
mdp.39015063554052	Well, then, what else happened the night poor Duffy was killed?
mdp.39015063554052	Well, why do n't somebody do something about it?
mdp.39015063554052	What am I saying?"
mdp.39015063554052	What become of him, I say?"
mdp.39015063554052	What clue to the perpetrator of all this?
mdp.39015063554052	What d'you make of this murder of McGuirk, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554052	What did I tell you, Peter?
mdp.39015063554052	What did the boy mean?
mdp.39015063554052	What did they talk about?
mdp.39015063554052	What did you think?"
mdp.39015063554052	What do they mean?"
mdp.39015063554052	What do you call this bit that runs along by the marsh?"
mdp.39015063554052	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063554052	What happened then?"
mdp.39015063554052	What happened?"
mdp.39015063554052	What if Mr. Clancy had been too late?
mdp.39015063554052	What images might even now be passing before those half- closed eyes?
mdp.39015063554052	What in thunder are you driving at?"
mdp.39015063554052	What kind of a friend would that be?"
mdp.39015063554052	What makes him like he is, I ask you?
mdp.39015063554052	What must it be then to him?
mdp.39015063554052	What of it?"
mdp.39015063554052	What was happening to the faithful fellow now?
mdp.39015063554052	What was there in this mention of an uncle — dead for twenty years and more — to cause that haunting change in the eyes of Arthur Madison?
mdp.39015063554052	What you want, honey?"
mdp.39015063554052	What — what — could there be?
mdp.39015063554052	What're you doing?
mdp.39015063554052	What're you trying to do to Mr. Arthur, and why?
mdp.39015063554052	What's got into you?"
mdp.39015063554052	What's it to you?"
mdp.39015063554052	What's the answer?"
mdp.39015063554052	What's the game up there?
mdp.39015063554052	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063554052	What?"
mdp.39015063554052	Whatever in the world are you doing here?
mdp.39015063554052	Whatever put such an idea into your head?"
mdp.39015063554052	When you coming over?"
mdp.39015063554052	Where did they go?
mdp.39015063554052	Where in hell did you come from?"
mdp.39015063554052	Where you going now?"
mdp.39015063554052	Where'd you get this?
mdp.39015063554052	Where's John?"
mdp.39015063554052	Where's the sense to it?"
mdp.39015063554052	Where?"
mdp.39015063554052	Who but Ross or the Fresno girl could have done it?
mdp.39015063554052	Who can take this prescription and have it filled?"
mdp.39015063554052	Who was he to suggest to Mrs. Ross that her nephew would be better off in other surroundings?
mdp.39015063554052	Who would deny that every tiniest drop of water rises and falls in obedience to law?
mdp.39015063554052	Whom can I trust?
mdp.39015063554052	Why ca n't you, now that Aunt Henrietta is n't here?"
mdp.39015063554052	Why ca n't you?
mdp.39015063554052	Why must life be so complex — so crowded?
mdp.39015063554052	Why not?"
mdp.39015063554052	Why not?'
mdp.39015063554052	Why was he staring — staring — past the foot of the bed into the depths of the great mirror that had held for him such images of dread?
mdp.39015063554052	Why was it closed, Aunt Henrietta?"
mdp.39015063554052	Why, Pete, why did n't I think?
mdp.39015063554052	Why?
mdp.39015063554052	Will you be there, honey?
mdp.39015063554052	Will you forgive me?"
mdp.39015063554052	Will you listen?"
mdp.39015063554052	Will you please put up the glass?"
mdp.39015063554052	Will you tell me if I'm right?"
mdp.39015063554052	Would Peters do?"
mdp.39015063554052	Would you like I should look up your family or somebody?
mdp.39015063554052	Would you mind telling me, sir?
mdp.39015063554052	Would your grandfather have done that without strong provocation?"
mdp.39015063554052	You did n't know?"
mdp.39015063554052	You get me?
mdp.39015063554052	You knew him over- seas, you said, Pete?
mdp.39015063554052	You know Hounslow?
mdp.39015063554052	You know, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063554052	You mean a flashlight?"
mdp.39015063554052	You mean that?
mdp.39015063554052	You realize that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063554052	You said — gates?"
mdp.39015063554052	You see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063554052	You under- stand now?"
mdp.39015063554052	You want me?"
mdp.39015063554052	You wish to speak with him?"
mdp.39015063554052	You're smart in all branches of the profession, are you, Peters?
mdp.39015063554052	You've travelled a great deal, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063554052	accidentally?
mdp.39015063554052	and added in a raised voice,"Did n't you hear me?
mdp.39015063554052	and these others up the river — as far as Poughkeepsie?
mdp.39015063554052	from Captain Kerri- gan?"
mdp.39015063554052	he asked, and added without apparent rele- vance,"He does n't take care of the grounds?"
mdp.39015063554052	is n't it lovely?"
mdp.39015063554052	•"What?"
mdp.39015068383606	But what could have frightened poor old Abraham from behind the door? ” Then he shook his head. mdp.39015068383606 I must get my bearings, ” he said after a minute, then, “ where would be the center of the hall above?"
mdp.39015068383606	I wonder if I have been a fool? ” thought the Vic- torian lady, staring out into the misty veil of rain hid- ing her mansion from the road. mdp.39015068383606 I wonder why,"he said, half to himself, “ he keeps reminding us that young Eltinge will attend to things?
mdp.39015068383606	Is it too dark to read? ” Mr. Appledore asked. mdp.39015068383606 The light hurts my eyes, ” she had murmured when 109 THAT GAY NINETIES MURDER III “ Where will you go, Constance? ” she asked presently.
mdp.39015068383606	'Sides, what dat po'chile want prod- jikin'round dat house whar she met her def? ” Abraham Isaacs tried to silence her but her emotions were rising.

mdp.39015068383606	A wo- man, eh? ” Those three did not go to bed that night.
mdp.39015068383606	And if so, why had he burned it?
mdp.39015068383606	And now?
mdp.39015068383606	And what had those two been reading with so much absorption, so low of voice she hardly caught a word?
mdp.39015068383606	And what of Mr. Herbert Eltinge?
mdp.39015068383606	And why had he come to board with the Laughlins?
mdp.39015068383606	And would Miss Hunter excuse him for not showing it to her?
mdp.39015068383606	Are you afraid? ” “ No, ” in a low whisper, then: THAT GAY NINETIES MURDER 249 did he cease his repeated driving blows against the stone wall.
mdp.39015068383606	But what could there be “ best ” about this thing that had happened to blast the lives of those at Appledore Towers?
mdp.39015068383606	But what had she to go on?
mdp.39015068383606	But why had he denied all knowledge of it?
mdp.39015068383606	Come, now, is n't this thing getting a little on your mind?
mdp.39015068383606	Did it ever strike you how some humans like to be alone in their suffering?
mdp.39015068383606	Did you not know?"
mdp.39015068383606	Did you tell him of our visit? ” Mollie's terrified denial left them in no further doubt.
mdp.39015068383606	Do you know the way through the pantry? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	Do you think we could probably gain entrance there without any of the watch- ers at the cabin knowing of it? ” The lady nodded.
mdp.39015068383606	Had he stolen the rug?
mdp.39015068383606	Had that anything to do with death hovering so close above the house- only two hours away?
mdp.39015068383606	Had they been made by the ends of an iron trunk- it must have been very heavy- dragged hastily across the floor?
mdp.39015068383606	Have you got the keys? ” The old negro blanched.
mdp.39015068383606	Have you plain paper there? ” The Attorney rose and drew forward a sheet of note- paper and opened the massive silver inkstand.
mdp.39015068383606	He had his degree of Doctor of Medicine, yet why had he said before the in- quest that he knew nothing of it?
mdp.39015068383606	He said that he was deeply engaged with my father on some work on the third floor and that he begged her to excuse him. ” “ Was that all?"
mdp.39015068383606	How about it?"
mdp.39015068383606	I foun'it under the mattress of the boarder's bed. ” “ You found it where? ” she exclaimed.
mdp.39015068383606	I want time to think things out. ” If Miss Hunter wanted to ask, “ What things?"
mdp.39015068383606	If she herself had had such an impression why had not Mr. Herbert Eltinge?
mdp.39015068383606	If this is the case could not this acid, which I believe is not obtainable without a prescription, have been sold to him?
mdp.39015068383606	Is he here? ” The Attorney took a step forward toward the stairs.
mdp.39015068383606	Is we all'bleeged to go all over dat house? ” The lawyer nodded.
mdp.39015068383606	Now tell me, how are your nerves? ”"I do n't think I have any,"the lady replied.
mdp.39015068383606	Now what hap- pened?
mdp.39015068383606	Now what happens?
mdp.39015068383606	Now where is your burned sample of the Gurdez rug? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	Now where was she?
mdp.39015068383606	Oh, may I not tell you in my own room?"
mdp.39015068383606	Once it was broken off by the other's demanding: “ When did this come out?"
mdp.39015068383606	Or would he accompany them?
mdp.39015068383606	She put me in mine'ob a ole hant snufflin'up an'down dem stairs packin'de message. ” “ You did not see the family, any of them? ” “ No'm.
mdp.39015068383606	So why not I? ” And what was there to give conviction to her unrest?
mdp.39015068383606	So why not I? ” And what was there to give conviction to her unrest?
mdp.39015068383606	Suppose the National Chemical Company did reply that the bottle was sold to Mr. Herbert Eltinge?
mdp.39015068383606	That Mr. Eltinge?
mdp.39015068383606	The mas- ter of Appledore Towers and the young man of the frightened eyes?
mdp.39015068383606	Their study. ” “ But after all, ” Miss Hunter said evenly, “ where are we getting to?
mdp.39015068383606	Then: “ Some friend of your daughter's? ” “ No.
mdp.39015068383606	There are two changes of cars, I believe, one in Cincinnati, the other in Chicago, are there not? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	Was it from this window that she had seen the light so often, burning into the small hours of the morning?
mdp.39015068383606	Were they straying across the yard to the sharp new grave of hard red clods, of wilting flowers?
mdp.39015068383606	What did this fellow know?
mdp.39015068383606	What does it all mean?
mdp.39015068383606	What else are you going to ask the National Chem- ical Company of Stewart, Ill.? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	What ghost?"
mdp.39015068383606	What happens?
mdp.39015068383606	What were the thoughts of the studious young man alone in his upper room?
mdp.39015068383606	What will he do?
mdp.39015068383606	What would er woman want prowlin'round de place dis time er night?
mdp.39015068383606	What, oh, what has happened?"
mdp.39015068383606	What?
mdp.39015068383606	When did he come back?
mdp.39015068383606	Where are you going? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	Who had placed the armful of flowers on the sharp mound covering her neighbors'daughter?
mdp.39015068383606	Who had plucked them?
mdp.39015068383606	Who had tied them with white ribbon and left them in the rain?
mdp.39015068383606	Who placed them upon the daughter's grave?
mdp.39015068383606	Why am I not content with the Coroner's verdict?
mdp.39015068383606	Why could she, their neighbor, not be willing quite to accept it?
mdp.39015068383606	Why do you ask? ” “ Because, ” her companion explained, “ I am partic- ularly anxious, as I have said, to go over the house first.
mdp.39015068383606	Why had he said the daughter of Algernon Appledore had been murdered?
mdp.39015068383606	Why had the child, in her moment facing death, snatched up her scissors and effaced its label?
mdp.39015068383606	Why?
mdp.39015068383606	Would he continue in charge of Mr. Algernon Appledore's affairs at Appledore& Erwin?
mdp.39015068383606	Would he live in the big empty house with its memories of death?
mdp.39015068383606	Would it prove anything?
mdp.39015068383606	Yo'all goin'after mushrooms?
mdp.39015068383606	You remember the time they had their exhibition some years ago?
mdp.39015068383606	and so forth?
mdp.39015068383606	“ A what? ” “ Yas'um, a rug."
mdp.39015068383606	“ And perhaps it would be easier if we went into an- other room?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ And what was Mr. Eltinge's reply?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ And will you tell what you know of this dis- tressing affair?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ Annie's tol'you about our boarder? ” Mollie Laughlin asked proudly as they walked on.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Any new developments, Chief of Detectives? ” he asked.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Are you sure it was the Gurdez rug?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Are you sure you do not mind my accompanying you?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ But what can it mean?
mdp.39015068383606	“ But what has that to do with your guest? ” The question brought Mrs. Appledore's eyes from the waves of blue grass.
mdp.39015068383606	“ But what, what am I to do?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ But why, ” she asked after a moment,"you ca n't mean a relation — who is coming to live? ” “ No.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Can you tell me, ” this lady questioned,"if you have heard of reverses in Mr. Appledore's business while he has been away?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Dead?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Did they say where it was from?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ Do you remember Cathrine Chamberlain?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Does yo'want me ter'company yo', suh? ” he asked.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Edward, ” she exclaimed,"you have n't run all the way over here in the dark and rain? ” “ Yas’um, ” he piped.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Gentleman? ” Miss Cornelia, interested to the point of a direct question, echoed.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Going away? ” Miss Hunter sat up on her sofa.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Had she any idea that there might, in some way, be a connection between the events? ” Miss Hunter shook her head.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Have you ever seen this before? ” he asked Miss Hunter.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Have you seen this? ” she exclaimed, extending the paper before he could hang his wide white panama hat upon its polished wooden peg.
mdp.39015068383606	“ I fancy this newspaper story of the burglary is not the reason I am indebted to you for this visit?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ I wonder if it was not my imagination?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ I wonder if she'll ever get over it? ” he mused as he seated himself across from her at the table.
mdp.39015068383606	“ I wonder why I am suspicious?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Is there no chance of my recognizing him, too?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ It has come? ” Impatient.
mdp.39015068383606	“ May I remain, sir through the questioning? ” After a moment's hesitation that gentleman nodded.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Now what can I do for you? ” he asked easily, seating himself in a revolving chair which creaked ominously under his weight.
mdp.39015068383606	“ That is my revolver. ” “ Could Elizabeth have had access to it?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ Very well, Miss Appledore, what happened after that? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Was dat yo'call me, Mis ’ Hunter? ” Her assent caused him to walk with gathering con.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Was n't that Dolly I saw going back to your cabin with your bed?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ Well, what do you make of it?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ Well, ” Mr. Bryan smiled encouragingly across at her, “ what has happened since early morning?
mdp.39015068383606	“ What boarder? ” Miss Hunter turned to her, amused.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What can have been their difference? ” Harrisville had asked over their teacups and juleps when there were gentlemen present.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What can have gotten you out of your bed so early?
mdp.39015068383606	“ What did you find in the garret? ” the lady asked when the door was closed.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What do you know, Cornelia, ” he asked presently, “ of this young Eltinge? ”.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked at last.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What has happened now, Sarah? ” the lady asked kindly.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What has happened over yonder?
mdp.39015068383606	“ What is it, Laura? ” her mistress called, quickening her own pace.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What things? ” she kept saying to herself.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What was that? ” the Attorney asked.
mdp.39015068383606	“ What was this crash of glass you heard immediately heralding old Abraham's plunge down the staircase?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ Where is your boarder?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Where is your father?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Who was the Laughlin's boarder?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Will he bring a doctor? ” Miss Hunter asked.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Will you be good enough to tell us the nature of this conversation with your sister?
mdp.39015068383606	“ Would it be possible, without consent of Mr. Apple- dore, to force the lock if you thought it necessary? ” his companion asked.
mdp.39015068383606	“ Would yo'all like ter com’up wid me an’look at ma chile?
mdp.39015068383606	“ You do n't know this, do you? ” The lady shook her head.
mdp.39015068383606	“ You have found it? ” she asked.
mdp.39015068383606	“ You have had no word from Mrs. Appledore since her arrival at the lake? ” The lady shook her head.
mdp.39015068383606	“ You think something will happen shortly?"
mdp.39015068383606	“ You'll stay over here to er- watch for the telephone? ” he asked Miss Hunter uneasily.
mdp.39015063939097	A hidden volcano?
mdp.39015063939097	A year or two older, was n't he? mdp.39015063939097 About where you were, I mean?
mdp.39015063939097	About?
mdp.39015063939097	Actually,Bill said,"that's why you came here, to the station house, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063939097	Admiral, did you see him again? mdp.39015063939097 Admiral?"
mdp.39015063939097	Ahead, Pam? mdp.39015063939097 Ahead?"
mdp.39015063939097	All right?
mdp.39015063939097	An accident to Father?
mdp.39015063939097	And not have wired? mdp.39015063939097 And she did n't get in touch with you?"
mdp.39015063939097	And that is all you know?
mdp.39015063939097	And this,Jerry North said,"was just before — just about the time, really — that Kirkhill was killed?"
mdp.39015063939097	And you called off the investigation merely because you had changed your mind? mdp.39015063939097 And you were working Friday night?
mdp.39015063939097	Anyway, were n't you here, in the apart- ment, when Senator Kirkhill was — when somebody poisoned him?
mdp.39015063939097	Are n't you? mdp.39015063939097 Are you terribly tired, Bill?"
mdp.39015063939097	Ask him?
mdp.39015063939097	Bill,Pam said,"where are you getting?"
mdp.39015063939097	Bill?
mdp.39015063939097	Blake?
mdp.39015063939097	Blake?
mdp.39015063939097	But how the hell, Sergeant? mdp.39015063939097 But seething underneath?"
mdp.39015063939097	But where is he?
mdp.39015063939097	But why —?
mdp.39015063939097	But you would have seen him again?
mdp.39015063939097	But — what did he mean? mdp.39015063939097 But — you think he's got involved, somehow?
mdp.39015063939097	But,Jerry said,"was there anything to prove this?
mdp.39015063939097	Ca n't you understand? mdp.39015063939097 Can I ask Mr. Briggs something?"
mdp.39015063939097	Can I tell you?
mdp.39015063939097	Can you wait here a few minutes? mdp.39015063939097 Celia all right?"
mdp.39015063939097	Could it have been Breese?
mdp.39015063939097	Did he take something?
mdp.39015063939097	Did n't you say they had something to do? mdp.39015063939097 Did you ever hear of a man named Smiley?"
mdp.39015063939097	Did you plan to pay him?
mdp.39015063939097	Did you see him there?
mdp.39015063939097	Dinner alone?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you like it?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you remember about the admiral? mdp.39015063939097 Do n't you see that, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you think so?
mdp.39015063939097	Do they know anything?
mdp.39015063939097	Does n't it make sense?
mdp.39015063939097	Down there?
mdp.39015063939097	Educational?
mdp.39015063939097	Even the chief?
mdp.39015063939097	For innocent ears?
mdp.39015063939097	Frightened?
mdp.39015063939097	Get it, do you?
mdp.39015063939097	Get you a drink?
mdp.39015063939097	Happened to her?
mdp.39015063939097	Happened?
mdp.39015063939097	Happened?
mdp.39015063939097	Has something happened?
mdp.39015063939097	Has
mdp.39015063939097	Has
mdp.39015063939097	Have they —?
mdp.39015063939097	Have you gone crazy, Freddie? mdp.39015063939097 He's — in charge of the in- vestigation?
mdp.39015063939097	His brother?
mdp.39015063939097	How about another drink, Dorian?
mdp.39015063939097	How did you get in?
mdp.39015063939097	How did you happen to go there, Bill? mdp.39015063939097 How do you do?"
mdp.39015063939097	How many do you make?
mdp.39015063939097	How's Johnny Jump- up?
mdp.39015063939097	How?
mdp.39015063939097	Howard,she said,"what's it all about?
mdp.39015063939097	I think he said'we,'meaning himself and — well, and Howdie, would n't it be? mdp.39015063939097 I — has something happened to Miss Burnley?"
mdp.39015063939097	I —"What can I do for you, beautiful?
mdp.39015063939097	I'm talking about — if this man, this Smiley, goes to the police, can he make you any trouble? mdp.39015063939097 If anything else comes up,"he said,"will you — will you not try to handle it alone?
mdp.39015063939097	If — yes? mdp.39015063939097 In snow?
mdp.39015063939097	Investigators? mdp.39015063939097 Is Miss Kirkhill here?"
mdp.39015063939097	Is it?
mdp.39015063939097	Is she —?
mdp.39015063939097	Is that what you mean?
mdp.39015063939097	Is there anything the matter with it?
mdp.39015063939097	It does n't make much sense, does it?
mdp.39015063939097	Just what is a banked fire?
mdp.39015063939097	Lieutenant Weigand?
mdp.39015063939097	Like she said? mdp.39015063939097 Look,"Jerry North said,"are you going to be able to prove all this?
mdp.39015063939097	May I toast the year with you, Dad?
mdp.39015063939097	Mean you'll check?
mdp.39015063939097	Miss Celia Kirkhill?
mdp.39015063939097	Moe?
mdp.39015063939097	No?
mdp.39015063939097	Not that I give a damn, but why?
mdp.39015063939097	Not try to handle things yourself?
mdp.39015063939097	Nothing to what?
mdp.39015063939097	Now, Mr. Phipps —he began, and interrupted himself and said,"Yes?"
mdp.39015063939097	Now?
mdp.39015063939097	Of course,she said,"you've no idea when?"
mdp.39015063939097	Only there are n't any today, are there? mdp.39015063939097 Or did you know?"
mdp.39015063939097	Otherwise?
mdp.39015063939097	Otherwise?
mdp.39015063939097	Pam?
mdp.39015063939097	Pass the peanuts, will you, Bill?
mdp.39015063939097	Right?
mdp.39015063939097	Right?
mdp.39015063939097	Scrambled all right?
mdp.39015063939097	Shall I come up?
mdp.39015063939097	She admits that?
mdp.39015063939097	Smitty?
mdp.39015063939097	So what, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	So what?
mdp.39015063939097	So,Pam said, finishing her coffee in a decisive manner,"what do we do about your admiral?
mdp.39015063939097	So?
mdp.39015063939097	So?
mdp.39015063939097	Some woman, you mean? mdp.39015063939097 Suppose I do n't?"
mdp.39015063939097	Suppose I squeal to O'Malley? mdp.39015063939097 Suppose you've heard from Kirkhill?"
mdp.39015063939097	Supposed to be here, is n't he?
mdp.39015063939097	Tailing?
mdp.39015063939097	Tell him he's worrying his daughter?
mdp.39015063939097	Tell him to stop?
mdp.39015063939097	That happened this time?
mdp.39015063939097	That man who was here? mdp.39015063939097 That we were detectives?"
mdp.39015063939097	The kitchen?
mdp.39015063939097	The thing is,the fat man said,"what do you want me to tell the cops?
mdp.39015063939097	Then,Bill Weigand said,"what did Smiley want to see you about?"
mdp.39015063939097	Then?
mdp.39015063939097	Tie all right?
mdp.39015063939097	Tomorrow? mdp.39015063939097 Uncle George?"
mdp.39015063939097	Unless the library slips? mdp.39015063939097 Walking?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was his hair once like yours?
mdp.39015063939097	Was that fact widely known?
mdp.39015063939097	Well, I'm afraid she must have had chloral hydrate to — do n't you see, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	Well, how about a drink?
mdp.39015063939097	Well, my dear,he said, still in the same soft voice,"what makes you think there's anything in the coffee?
mdp.39015063939097	Well?
mdp.39015063939097	Well?
mdp.39015063939097	Well?
mdp.39015063939097	Well?
mdp.39015063939097	Well?
mdp.39015063939097	Were n't you ever, Bill?
mdp.39015063939097	Wh- why?
mdp.39015063939097	What can I do?
mdp.39015063939097	What can I do?
mdp.39015063939097	What did the admiral say, Marta?
mdp.39015063939097	What did you base it on?
mdp.39015063939097	What do you mean, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	What do you mean? mdp.39015063939097 What do you mean?
mdp.39015063939097	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063939097	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063939097	What do you people say? mdp.39015063939097 What do you suppose she took?"
mdp.39015063939097	What frightens you?
mdp.39015063939097	What gang?
mdp.39015063939097	What is it, Dad?
mdp.39015063939097	What is it, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	What is it, Mrs. Haven? mdp.39015063939097 What is it?"
mdp.39015063939097	What is your club, Admiral?
mdp.39015063939097	What makes you afraid something's happened, Fay?
mdp.39015063939097	What makes you think something has happened?
mdp.39015063939097	What the —?
mdp.39015063939097	What things?
mdp.39015063939097	What time is it, Curt?
mdp.39015063939097	What time is it?
mdp.39015063939097	What was that scent she always used? mdp.39015063939097 What's she like?"
mdp.39015063939097	What, Grainger?
mdp.39015063939097	When?
mdp.39015063939097	Where is he, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	Where is she?
mdp.39015063939097	Where is the man?
mdp.39015063939097	Where was I?
mdp.39015063939097	Where's the spot?
mdp.39015063939097	Who but Miss Burnley?
mdp.39015063939097	Who called to tell us Smiley'd got it?
mdp.39015063939097	Who did he mean, Celia? mdp.39015063939097 Who else could he have meant?"
mdp.39015063939097	Who walks if he can ride? mdp.39015063939097 Who was he, Dad?"
mdp.39015063939097	Why are you so anxious to have her drink the coffee? mdp.39015063939097 Why ca n't you talk?"
mdp.39015063939097	Why do n't we ask her?
mdp.39015063939097	Why frightened?
mdp.39015063939097	Why should there be anything in the coffee?
mdp.39015063939097	Why should you, Mr. Phipps? mdp.39015063939097 Why should you?"
mdp.39015063939097	Why you?
mdp.39015063939097	Why,Dorian said,"do n't you count this admiral and Mrs. Haven?
mdp.39015063939097	Why?
mdp.39015063939097	With or without chloral hydrate?
mdp.39015063939097	With you?
mdp.39015063939097	With your father?
mdp.39015063939097	Without telephoning or anything? mdp.39015063939097 Would Dorian like her?"
mdp.39015063939097	Would I like her?
mdp.39015063939097	Would Jerry?
mdp.39015063939097	Would Mr. Smiley follow him around? mdp.39015063939097 Would that be a way of doing it?"
mdp.39015063939097	Would you like me to go up with you?
mdp.39015063939097	Yeah?
mdp.39015063939097	Yeah?
mdp.39015063939097	Yes?
mdp.39015063939097	Yes?
mdp.39015063939097	Yes?
mdp.39015063939097	You all knew his heart was n't good?
mdp.39015063939097	You are Miss Kirkhill? mdp.39015063939097 You asked me — told me — to come over here?"
mdp.39015063939097	You deny seeing him this after- noon?
mdp.39015063939097	You did n't come up?
mdp.39015063939097	You did n't know about the letter?
mdp.39015063939097	You did n't write your brother a letter a couple of weeks ago? mdp.39015063939097 You do n't know Smiley?"
mdp.39015063939097	You do n't know, then? mdp.39015063939097 You figure he was selling out?"
mdp.39015063939097	You have a car?
mdp.39015063939097	You have something to tell us?
mdp.39015063939097	You just came over to — to call on Miss Burnley?
mdp.39015063939097	You knew about his brother? mdp.39015063939097 You know that?
mdp.39015063939097	You realize we can check this?
mdp.39015063939097	You saw Smiley last night? mdp.39015063939097 You think she could have been?"
mdp.39015063939097	You think this might have explained Senator Kirkhill's going where he went, dressing as he did?
mdp.39015063939097	You understand that, Mrs. Haven? mdp.39015063939097 You went out for food?"
mdp.39015063939097	You were here, in the apartment?
mdp.39015063939097	You were there all afternoon?
mdp.39015063939097	You would be sure?
mdp.39015063939097	You'll find out?
mdp.39015063939097	You're all right? mdp.39015063939097 You're not Miss Kirkhill?"
mdp.39015063939097	Your father seemed to know him?
mdp.39015063939097	Your father?
mdp.39015063939097	Yowowow?
mdp.39015063939097	176 THE DISHONEST MURDERER"What is it?"
mdp.39015063939097	A letter — what was this letter?
mdp.39015063939097	A slight woman with wide eyes, with a kind of interested eagerness in her manner, had conveyed — by the movement of her lips?
mdp.39015063939097	About what time?"
mdp.39015063939097	All right so far?"
mdp.39015063939097	Am I worried, frightened, 68 THE DISHONEST MURDERER instead of — grieving?
mdp.39015063939097	And if you had a key, then — don't you see, Howdie?
mdp.39015063939097	And not telling on a lady?
mdp.39015063939097	And slush?"
mdp.39015063939097	And that's all you know?"
mdp.39015063939097	And the senator?
mdp.39015063939097	And then she runs away?"
mdp.39015063939097	And you're suggesting we look into it?
mdp.39015063939097	And — what for?
mdp.39015063939097	Any real trouble?
mdp.39015063939097	Any — strain?
mdp.39015063939097	Anything else, Smitty?"
mdp.39015063939097	Anyway — why should he?
mdp.39015063939097	Are n't you?"
mdp.39015063939097	Arthur Smiley?"
mdp.39015063939097	As he had planned?"
mdp.39015063939097	At three o'clock in the morning?
mdp.39015063939097	Be- cause that's the really important thing, is n't it?
mdp.39015063939097	Between us?"
mdp.39015063939097	Beyond embarrassment?
mdp.39015063939097	Bridge?"
mdp.39015063939097	Briggs and Smiley — or would it be Smiley and Briggs?
mdp.39015063939097	Burnley?"
mdp.39015063939097	Burnley?"
mdp.39015063939097	Burnley?"
mdp.39015063939097	Burnley?"
mdp.39015063939097	But why, Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	But — you had to have a key, did n't you, Howdie?
mdp.39015063939097	But, if I did n't before, why should I now?"
mdp.39015063939097	By the way, Bill, is there really a brother?"
mdp.39015063939097	Ca n't a man be a little late?
mdp.39015063939097	Can you believe that?"
mdp.39015063939097	Can you prove where you were from — say about six o'clock last evening until the party started?
mdp.39015063939097	Can you — can you go there with me?"
mdp.39015063939097	Could he make you feel like that?
mdp.39015063939097	Could he really be as"innocent"as he now indicated?
mdp.39015063939097	Did Mr. Phipps think so?
mdp.39015063939097	Did Phipps write the speeches, do you suppose?"
mdp.39015063939097	Did it show more to this undis- turbed, intelligent man who seemed so sure?
mdp.39015063939097	Did n't Celia realize?
mdp.39015063939097	Did you hate him so much?
mdp.39015063939097	Did you love him so much?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you know — anything?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you see that?
mdp.39015063939097	Do n't you see that?
mdp.39015063939097	Do you know, Freddie?"
mdp.39015063939097	Do you?"
mdp.39015063939097	Does he, by the way?"
mdp.39015063939097	Does n't he realize how easy it is?
mdp.39015063939097	Does n't he?"
mdp.39015063939097	Does n't the very idea make you shiver?"
mdp.39015063939097	Eeny?"
mdp.39015063939097	Eh?
mdp.39015063939097	Even the great man?"
mdp.39015063939097	Find out what we can?
mdp.39015063939097	For advice, was n't it?
mdp.39015063939097	Freddie lifted the receiver, said"yes?"
mdp.39015063939097	Freddie said,"Yes, Dad?"
mdp.39015063939097	Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	From six until two?"
mdp.39015063939097	George?"
mdp.39015063939097	Grainger?"
mdp.39015063939097	Grainger?"
mdp.39015063939097	Had dinner here?"
mdp.39015063939097	Harry Briggs?"
mdp.39015063939097	Has she — has she killed herself?"
mdp.39015063939097	Has something happened?"
mdp.39015063939097	Have experience?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	Haven?"
mdp.39015063939097	He meant — had he been think- ing of the man Smiley she had found dead?
mdp.39015063939097	He said,"O.K., Loot?"
mdp.39015063939097	He said,"What the hell?"
mdp.39015063939097	He walked with her across the sidewalk, let her precede him to the building door and then said,"Go on in, do you mind?
mdp.39015063939097	He's very intelligent, Freddie thought and then, belatedly: Was there really some- thing the matter with Bruce's heart?
mdp.39015063939097	Hoping the admiral would do some- thing to — to stop the marriage?"
mdp.39015063939097	Housewife?
mdp.39015063939097	How did you get in?"
mdp.39015063939097	How long ago did the letter come?"
mdp.39015063939097	How?"
mdp.39015063939097	Howard Phipps?"
mdp.39015063939097	I mean, did you just drop in as a matter of routine and find — find he had been killed?"
mdp.39015063939097	I mean, if it were castor oil, or something, then why should you?
mdp.39015063939097	I — can I see you?"
mdp.39015063939097	I —""But Smiley was here last night?"
mdp.39015063939097	I —""Was he meeting someone?"
mdp.39015063939097	If she wrote the letter?"
mdp.39015063939097	In New York?
mdp.39015063939097	In disguise?"
mdp.39015063939097	Innocent?
mdp.39015063939097	Is Mrs. Haven in there?"
mdp.39015063939097	Is it the strangeness, first, the strangeness of people still alive, of Dad, and Bruce's death only after that?
mdp.39015063939097	Is she?"
mdp.39015063939097	Is that it?
mdp.39015063939097	Is that the way I feel?
mdp.39015063939097	Is there a Mr. Phipps?
mdp.39015063939097	It is mixed up — oh God, she thought, what's happening to us?
mdp.39015063939097	It was just something you said?"
mdp.39015063939097	It's — it's about — her father?"
mdp.39015063939097	John Haven — when the man you were going to marry was killed?
mdp.39015063939097	Just — just a brain wave?"
mdp.39015063939097	Keeping out of the way, y'know?
mdp.39015063939097	Know that, do n't you?
mdp.39015063939097	Last night, say?
mdp.39015063939097	May I have him call you?"
mdp.39015063939097	Mr. Smiley called him up, or something, and arranged to meet him and — you said in his office, Bill?"
mdp.39015063939097	New Year's Eve?
mdp.39015063939097	Nobody in it, of course?"
mdp.39015063939097	None of you has met this Briggs?"
mdp.39015063939097	North?"
mdp.39015063939097	North?"
mdp.39015063939097	Not to go to the police?"
mdp.39015063939097	O.K., Mullins?"
mdp.39015063939097	O.K., Willie?"
mdp.39015063939097	Of course"and then,"Wait a minute, will you?"
mdp.39015063939097	Oh Bruce, she thought, would it have been wrong?
mdp.39015063939097	Or any of it?"
mdp.39015063939097	Or any time within a year?"
mdp.39015063939097	Or did you know, Admiral?"
mdp.39015063939097	Or is it for yourself?"
mdp.39015063939097	Or telephoned?"
mdp.39015063939097	Or — did you have some reason to think she'd be here?"
mdp.39015063939097	Or-""This what?"
mdp.39015063939097	Pam was what?
mdp.39015063939097	Phipps?"
mdp.39015063939097	Phipps?"
mdp.39015063939097	Phipps?"
mdp.39015063939097	Right?"
mdp.39015063939097	Right?"
mdp.39015063939097	Right?"
mdp.39015063939097	Right?"
mdp.39015063939097	Right?"
mdp.39015063939097	Say at about a quarter of three?
mdp.39015063939097	See my point?"
mdp.39015063939097	See what I mean?"
mdp.39015063939097	Senator Kirkhill's daughter?"
mdp.39015063939097	Shall I suppose why?"
mdp.39015063939097	She said,"Yes, Dad?"
mdp.39015063939097	Should I get your breakfast now?"
mdp.39015063939097	So that — that you changed when you were with him, so that he was — not like anyone else?
mdp.39015063939097	So — what are you afraid of?
mdp.39015063939097	Some- body he was meeting?"
mdp.39015063939097	Some- thing like that?"
mdp.39015063939097	Somebody not worried at Kirkhill's failure to show when you'd expect them to be?
mdp.39015063939097	Somebody told you the Norths have been involved in things?
mdp.39015063939097	Somebody too worried?
mdp.39015063939097	Something's happened?"
mdp.39015063939097	Stolen some money?
mdp.39015063939097	THE DISHONEST MURDERER 135"Only,"Pam said,"was Mr. Smiley following?"
mdp.39015063939097	THE DISHONEST MURDERER 35"Where is he?"
mdp.39015063939097	THE DISHONEST MURDERER 81"There was a maid?"
mdp.39015063939097	THE DISHONEST MURDERER* 97 What did it matter, now?
mdp.39015063939097	Tell the great man you invited us in?
mdp.39015063939097	Tell you what we find out?"
mdp.39015063939097	That could all just be — well, reticence, could n't it?
mdp.39015063939097	That he wo n't know how to explain?"
mdp.39015063939097	That that was why he was coming earlier than he had planned?
mdp.39015063939097	That the police wo n't — understand?
mdp.39015063939097	That was all?"
mdp.39015063939097	That was what upset you, Mrs. Ha- ven?"
mdp.39015063939097	That —""In the end,"Pam North said,"how much did he want?
mdp.39015063939097	That's all you can tell us?"
mdp.39015063939097	That's what you want?
mdp.39015063939097	That's why you came to us?"
mdp.39015063939097	The Valley Authority?"
mdp.39015063939097	The admiral —?"
mdp.39015063939097	Then her father stood in the door of the library and said,"Freddie?"
mdp.39015063939097	Then she looked at Celia and Freddie Haven and said,"What's happened?
mdp.39015063939097	This Smiley — he was a detective?"
mdp.39015063939097	This would be a bad time to stop, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063939097	Thought you were meddling, decided against it?"
mdp.39015063939097	Threw us in?"
mdp.39015063939097	To get in downstairs?"
mdp.39015063939097	To make you believe it was true?"
mdp.39015063939097	Uneasiness?
mdp.39015063939097	Unless someone else has remembered something?"
mdp.39015063939097	Wait for me a mo- ment?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was Blake on the fire escape all the time?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was Bruce like that?
mdp.39015063939097	Was Bruce like that?
mdp.39015063939097	Was her father's face, in its very absence of revelation, revealing?
mdp.39015063939097	Was it about your uncle?
mdp.39015063939097	Was it about your uncle?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was it because of your uncle?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was it because — because you wanted to find out if I'd noticed?
mdp.39015063939097	Was n't it?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was she afraid her father had killed Bruce Kirkhill, or arranged for his murder?
mdp.39015063939097	Was she going to be that way again?
mdp.39015063939097	Was she going to see Bruce in every big man, with shoulders set a certain way, seeing him where he could not be?
mdp.39015063939097	Was that it, Howard?"
mdp.39015063939097	Was there some other — somebody else?
mdp.39015063939097	Weigand said,"Well, Admiral Satterbee?"
mdp.39015063939097	What Celia remembered was vague, inconclu- THE DISHONEST MURDERER 161 there, really, to tell the police?
mdp.39015063939097	What brought you here?
mdp.39015063939097	What could the police make of that?
mdp.39015063939097	What did he say?"
mdp.39015063939097	What did he want?"
mdp.39015063939097	What did she say?"
mdp.39015063939097	What does it matter?
mdp.39015063939097	What is it?"
mdp.39015063939097	What on earth, Freddie?"
mdp.39015063939097	What was it?
mdp.39015063939097	What was there to say to Celia?
mdp.39015063939097	What was there to say to anyone?
mdp.39015063939097	What would Pam be doing in a closet?
mdp.39015063939097	What would you think of that?
mdp.39015063939097	What're you getting at?"
mdp.39015063939097	What's happening to Breese?
mdp.39015063939097	What's in the coffee, Howard?"
mdp.39015063939097	What's the matter with Freddie?
mdp.39015063939097	What's — what's in the coffee?
mdp.39015063939097	When it was on your clothes?
mdp.39015063939097	When she was quite near he said,"Yeah?"
mdp.39015063939097	Where am I?"
mdp.39015063939097	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063939097	Where was she?"
mdp.39015063939097	Where were you when Senator Kirkhill was fed chloral hydrate?
mdp.39015063939097	Where you've been for the past two years?"
mdp.39015063939097	Where's Marta?"
mdp.39015063939097	Which, Bill?"
mdp.39015063939097	Who are these men?"
mdp.39015063939097	Who's going to believe it?
mdp.39015063939097	Why Babylon?"
mdp.39015063939097	Why could n't Breese have written it?
mdp.39015063939097	Why did he say that?"
mdp.39015063939097	Why did n't you, Howdie?
mdp.39015063939097	Why do you say that?"
mdp.39015063939097	Why does n't she help?
mdp.39015063939097	Why was he there?
mdp.39015063939097	Why would I call you up, ask you to come here, if I'd given her anything?
mdp.39015063939097	Why?"
mdp.39015063939097	Will you call —"he hesitated momentarily—"us?"
mdp.39015063939097	Will you do that?"
mdp.39015063939097	Will you listen?"
mdp.39015063939097	Would they show times?"
mdp.39015063939097	Wumph?"
mdp.39015063939097	You had no communication with Smiley after you talked to him last night, or early this morning?
mdp.39015063939097	You have n't heard anything?"
mdp.39015063939097	You know what you're doing?"
mdp.39015063939097	You like it?"
mdp.39015063939097	You never found out how much he wanted to — keep you out of this?"
mdp.39015063939097	You pretended — are you in love with her?
mdp.39015063939097	You see how it is, Mrs. Haven?
mdp.39015063939097	You see?
mdp.39015063939097	You see?"
mdp.39015063939097	You stayed here after that, Mrs. Haven?
mdp.39015063939097	You were walking this afternoon, Admiral?
mdp.39015063939097	Your admiral?
mdp.39015063939097	Your father did oppose this project Senator Kirkhill favored?
mdp.39015063939097	by the expression around her eyes? — that she knew something to be wrong, that she felt sympathy.
mdp.39015063939097	— is that —?"
mdp.39015063939097	“ What d'y think? ”"Hell of a big target, ” Bill, a battleship man to the end, as- Sared him.
mdp.39015063963113	A little longer? mdp.39015063963113 A move?"
mdp.39015063963113	About the Cargoys?
mdp.39015063963113	Ah yes, yes?
mdp.39015063963113	Ah, that's it, is n't it? mdp.39015063963113 And did he seem quite well this morning?"
mdp.39015063963113	And here's General Macarthur — awfully good colour, is n't it? mdp.39015063963113 And so you have really decided to take action?"
mdp.39015063963113	And what had Colonel Cargoy got to say?
mdp.39015063963113	And what was they detectin', I should like to know?
mdp.39015063963113	And — er — do you propose to excavate up there?
mdp.39015063963113	Are you not feeling well? mdp.39015063963113 But how?"
mdp.39015063963113	But if that cusping shows a late repair — and I think you agreed it did — then how about the date of all this interior walling?
mdp.39015063963113	But the other side have the last word, have n't they?
mdp.39015063963113	But were the gooseberries in a tart?
mdp.39015063963113	By the way, Apscombe, did you happen to notice that bottle of paraldehyde capsules?
mdp.39015063963113	By the way, how about that paraldehyde?
mdp.39015063963113	Cargoy? mdp.39015063963113 Child?"
mdp.39015063963113	Did you say anything to him?
mdp.39015063963113	Do you realise the serious implications of a suggestion of this kind?
mdp.39015063963113	Have you heard what — what happened?
mdp.39015063963113	Have you heard? mdp.39015063963113 How d'you do, Apscombe?"
mdp.39015063963113	How d'you do, doctor? mdp.39015063963113 How much could you let me have?"
mdp.39015063963113	I suppose there could be absolutely no reason for supposing that Mrs. Pardicott's death was caused by this paradi- what's- a- name?
mdp.39015063963113	I suppose you know Watkins, do n't you? mdp.39015063963113 I trust he has not been suffering?"
mdp.39015063963113	In the event of any question*'Question?"
mdp.39015063963113	Is that all?
mdp.39015063963113	James,said Mr. Pardicott in a thick, rasping voice,"did you see that?"
mdp.39015063963113	Looks all right?
mdp.39015063963113	Migratory influences?
mdp.39015063963113	Nitro toner?
mdp.39015063963113	Now this,he said —"this is awfully fine, sir, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063963113	Now you come to speak of it — putting it in that way — it's hardly what you would have expected, is it, sir?
mdp.39015063963113	Oh really?
mdp.39015063963113	Paraldehyde? mdp.39015063963113 See what, sir?"
mdp.39015063963113	Sir?
mdp.39015063963113	Soda?
mdp.39015063963113	Such a poison would have produced quite definite symptoms — difficulty in respiration, for example?
mdp.39015063963113	That glass of port? mdp.39015063963113 That was a very curious attack of poor old Redwater's, when you come to think of it, was n't it?
mdp.39015063963113	The new windows? mdp.39015063963113 Very pretty, no doubt,"said Dr. Apscombe,"but possibly a trifle dangerous, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063963113	Very pretty, was n't it?
mdp.39015063963113	Volatile acid basis, eh? mdp.39015063963113 Was he?"
mdp.39015063963113	Was it a large funeral?
mdp.39015063963113	Was my head so near the fan? mdp.39015063963113 Watkins?
mdp.39015063963113	Well,said Mr. Crick,"they made it pretty clear who done it, did n't they?"
mdp.39015063963113	Well,said Sir William placidly,"what about them?"
mdp.39015063963113	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063963113	What is it?
mdp.39015063963113	What is the matter, Martha?
mdp.39015063963113	Whereas, in this case, the symptoms were entirely different, and — of course — altogether compatible with your diagnosis?
mdp.39015063963113	Who? mdp.39015063963113 Why should you not?"
mdp.39015063963113	Why, what the dickens is that?
mdp.39015063963113	Why; what on earth do you know about that?
mdp.39015063963113	Would you like to take a turn round it?
mdp.39015063963113	You are going to oppose the suggestion?
mdp.39015063963113	You see, Mr. Pardicott, there are so many ways of looking at life, are n't there? mdp.39015063963113 Your car?
mdp.39015063963113	** “ But afterwards?
mdp.39015063963113	.. do they call it justice?
mdp.39015063963113	... Paraldehyde?
mdp.39015063963113	201 had put them on the scent?
mdp.39015063963113	5"Now, Joe,"said Mr. Crick the publican to his fellow- juryman, Mr. Hubb the draper:"what's your opinion, honestly?"
mdp.39015063963113	A little more to the left: how about that?
mdp.39015063963113	All's well — eh?
mdp.39015063963113	And I was going to ask you, sir, if I might look at this church of yours here — it's an old one, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063963113	And could they accept this?
mdp.39015063963113	And did he really want her to leave?
mdp.39015063963113	And have you seen those lovely little bags?"
mdp.39015063963113	And now, what about one a little higher up, getting the 119 corner of the wood against the sky?
mdp.39015063963113	And ohl — what was that?
mdp.39015063963113	And what did these par- ticular suspicions( for there was no denying them) really amount to?
mdp.39015063963113	And what is so uplifting and beautiful must be right, must n't it?
mdp.39015063963113	And what was on his conscience?
mdp.39015063963113	And why not both?
mdp.39015063963113	And why should a man pray or resist, or raise in vain the feeble hand of supplication?
mdp.39015063963113	And why should he read?
mdp.39015063963113	And yet — what has hap- pened to the poor dear man?
mdp.39015063963113	Are you coming with me?"
mdp.39015063963113	Are you guilty or not guilty?"
mdp.39015063963113	Are you taking this down?
mdp.39015063963113	Batt?"
mdp.39015063963113	Bissett; will you hand me the Q file?
mdp.39015063963113	But he really is an awful nuisance, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063963113	But the other things had not been moved, and why should anyone take a bottle of paraldehyde capsules?
mdp.39015063963113	But who, and why?
mdp.39015063963113	But, in this particular case, what evidence had he got?
mdp.39015063963113	Can I give you a lift down to the village?"
mdp.39015063963113	Can you give it a sort of yellowish tint, so as to harmonise it with the coping?"
mdp.39015063963113	Cargoy?
mdp.39015063963113	Cargoy?"
mdp.39015063963113	Cargoy?"
mdp.39015063963113	Could it really be the assassination of Colonel Cargoy and the attempted assassination of Redwater?
mdp.39015063963113	Could they believe that he would have left it there, had he been aware of its contents?
mdp.39015063963113	Did I ever tell you about that fella we had in the regiment?
mdp.39015063963113	Did she notice a change in his manner?
mdp.39015063963113	Did you hear what them doctors were saying?"
mdp.39015063963113	Did you observe any traces of cyanosis?"
mdp.39015063963113	Do n't you hear it?"
mdp.39015063963113	Do you expect me to take it seriously?"
mdp.39015063963113	Do you happen to know if Pardicott went away — up to London, perhaps — shortly before his wife's death?"
mdp.39015063963113	Do you mean to say that the Crown is backing you up in this little joke of yours?
mdp.39015063963113	Do you mean to say they use things like that in photography?"
mdp.39015063963113	Drink it down — what are you waiting for?
mdp.39015063963113	Eighty- four?
mdp.39015063963113	Eighty- three?
mdp.39015063963113	For the church, of course?"
mdp.39015063963113	Go ahead, Staverton, will you?"
mdp.39015063963113	Had 72 he been cruel?
mdp.39015063963113	Had he been treacherous?
mdp.39015063963113	Had he not looked curiously relieved when he heard that there would be no inquest?
mdp.39015063963113	Had he noticed anything?
mdp.39015063963113	Had he, or had he not?
mdp.39015063963113	Had she any suspicions about Bertha?
mdp.39015063963113	Had there been some- thing unaccountable in those last ugly symptoms?
mdp.39015063963113	Have you had your tea?
mdp.39015063963113	Have you seen any of Pardicott's results?"
mdp.39015063963113	He could get away with it easily enough, but what about the consequences?
mdp.39015063963113	He would ask them, as a plain man addressing sensible people, if they could really believe this kind of nonsense?
mdp.39015063963113	How could men be so 26 cruel as to inflict such agony upon little defenceless creatures?
mdp.39015063963113	How do you explain that?"
mdp.39015063963113	How long have we been here — five years?
mdp.39015063963113	How long would it be before the deadly symptoms began to show themselves?
mdp.39015063963113	How old was he now?
mdp.39015063963113	How, then, shall we claim an understanding of any part of it?
mdp.39015063963113	How, when, where, and why should the vicar have killed the colonel?
mdp.39015063963113	I ought not to talk like this, ought I?
mdp.39015063963113	I suppose it was all right — his taking that glass of port?"
mdp.39015063963113	I suppose you are not going to leave us?"
mdp.39015063963113	I think we've done uncommon well, sir, have n't we?
mdp.39015063963113	I thought when I saw him the other day at Mrs. Bellows'how very tired 39"You mean that silly talk we heard in Bel- chester?
mdp.39015063963113	I understand you have come to see me"197 enough to tell him who they were and what they wanted?
mdp.39015063963113	I wonder how that talk about Bertha Cargoy got going?"
mdp.39015063963113	I wonder what the trouble is?"
mdp.39015063963113	If Mr. Pardicott had said,"Does he look blue?"
mdp.39015063963113	If he had thought there was something wrong with the capsules, why did n't he say so at first?
mdp.39015063963113	If it had n't been for his face""Tell me this, Mary; would you know that bottle if you saw it again?"
mdp.39015063963113	If only I had noticed — perhaps I ought to have noticed""No, my dear, how should you?
mdp.39015063963113	Indeed, going on as he was now — where would he stop?
mdp.39015063963113	Is Davis outside?
mdp.39015063963113	Is n't that true?"
mdp.39015063963113	Is that Apscombe?
mdp.39015063963113	Is this what you call a statement?"
mdp.39015063963113	It has been a very pleasant day, has it not?
mdp.39015063963113	It really was an experiment, was it not?
mdp.39015063963113	It was all very well, preaching these good sermons to the people of Lower Pydal; but was he not worthy of a larger and a more enlightened audience?
mdp.39015063963113	Just about six, is n't it?
mdp.39015063963113	Mary, will you swear to this?
mdp.39015063963113	My dear fellow, what on earth do you mean?
mdp.39015063963113	Not taking any liberty, I hope?
mdp.39015063963113	Or is it due to — er — migratory influences?"
mdp.39015063963113	Or rather, even if they admitted every fact( and they would do nothing of the sort), what did the evidence imply?
mdp.39015063963113	Paradinitrotetramethyl?
mdp.39015063963113	Pardicott?"
mdp.39015063963113	People thought he was ill, or crossed in love, or in trouble of some kind, but to those who dared ask questions he only said"What are yer getting at?"
mdp.39015063963113	Plain glass would be rather a what's- a- name- can't think of the word- analogy, anomaly — what is it?
mdp.39015063963113	Shall I send it for you?"
mdp.39015063963113	Shall I wrap it up?"
mdp.39015063963113	Such fantastic things might occur in bookstall fiction; but was it possible they could occur in real life, in the dull, placid life of Lower Pydal?
mdp.39015063963113	Suppose the stuff was no good after all?
mdp.39015063963113	Sure you wo n't have another cup?
mdp.39015063963113	That brewer fella, too: I suppose he's dead now, is n't he?
mdp.39015063963113	That's what is so wonderful about these great thinkers, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063963113	That's what they've got us here for, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063963113	Then again — about the illness of this old man — Redwater is the name, I think?"
mdp.39015063963113	Then he spoke in a high, quavering and hideous voice:"What do you mean, doctor?

mdp.39015083421951	Is it likely that I would have brought you here if it were I?

mdp.39015083421951	“ WHAT now?"
mdp.39015083421951	“ What a pretty box! ” she said, stooping “ This is Indian work, I suppose?
mdp.39015083421951	“ What are we to do, then?
mdp.39015083421951	“ What do you make of it? ” 84 THE SIGN OF FOUR.
mdp.39015083421951	“ What do you think of it? ” THE BAKER STREET IRREGULARS.
mdp.39015083421951	“ What is it, my man? ” I asked.
mdp.39015083421951	“ What is your theory, then, as to those footmarks? ” I asked, eagerly, when we had regained the lower room once more.
mdp.39015083421951	“ What would you do, then? ” “ I would engage a launch and go down the river on the track of the Aurora."
mdp.39015083421951	“ Where to?"
mdp.39015083421951	“ Which is it to- day, ” I asked, “ morphine or cocaine? ” He raised his eyes languidly from the old black- letter volume which he had opened.
mdp.39015083421951	“ Who is there? ” cried a gruff voice from within.
mdp.39015083421951	“ Whom do you think that is to? ” he asked, as we resumed our journey.
mdp.39015083421951	“ • It rings true, eh?'
mdp.39015083421951	•What have three black fellows to do with our agreement?'
mdp.39015063946779	'Tis odd, now,said he, as if upon an afterthought, staring down on the quiet man,"but methinks I know your voice?"
mdp.39015063946779	A Frenchman?
mdp.39015063946779	A man of estate? mdp.39015063946779 All what, my dear?"
mdp.39015063946779	Am I? mdp.39015063946779 Ancient Romans?
mdp.39015063946779	And after that?
mdp.39015063946779	And cutpurses?
mdp.39015063946779	And how have you enjoyed the journey?
mdp.39015063946779	And if so, who is responsible? mdp.39015063946779 And now they're missing?"
mdp.39015063946779	And what did he answer?
mdp.39015063946779	And what may be the matter with you?
mdp.39015063946779	And where the master goes,it demanded,"may not his page follow?"
mdp.39015063946779	And who may you be?
mdp.39015063946779	And, as for the estates, our greed( which, a generation or two back, was a scandal) has not swallowed them all, I hope? mdp.39015063946779 Are they taking the whole theatre to pieces?"
mdp.39015063946779	Are we boys, that we should heed such braggart nonsense?
mdp.39015063946779	Are we to bide here all night, and on Christ- mas morn, too?
mdp.39015063946779	Are you drunk?
mdp.39015063946779	Aught else?
mdp.39015063946779	Ay, lad?
mdp.39015063946779	Be so good as to answer at once, Sir? mdp.39015063946779 Be these friends of thine, Will?"
mdp.39015063946779	Be you the Captain of this here ship?
mdp.39015063946779	Be you the ship that has walked off with half- a- dozen women from Saltash?
mdp.39015063946779	But perhaps I ought n't to have mentioned that?
mdp.39015063946779	But what are they doing? mdp.39015063946779 But what hath fetched you to London?"
mdp.39015063946779	But what is happening below?
mdp.39015063946779	But what put it into your head that he's a Frenchman?
mdp.39015063946779	But who can be sure of himself in this confounded twilight?
mdp.39015063946779	But who is your master of ceremonies?
mdp.39015063946779	But whose is this other noble coat of azure with the bend or? mdp.39015063946779 But why should he guess me a rustic?"
mdp.39015063946779	But why?
mdp.39015063946779	But will she?
mdp.39015063946779	Can any one tell me her name, now?
mdp.39015063946779	Can not you take the money and go?
mdp.39015063946779	Canst not see'tis a tragedy?
mdp.39015063946779	Carminowe?
mdp.39015063946779	Carry on as if the coach belonged to ye, hey? mdp.39015063946779 Dick Burbage already?
mdp.39015063946779	Did I? mdp.39015063946779 Did Mr. Addison give you a receipt?"
mdp.39015063946779	Did you ever hear tell, too, why Old Nick never came into Cornwall?
mdp.39015063946779	Do n't tell me there be yet more wagons arrived?
mdp.39015063946779	Do you admit this?
mdp.39015063946779	Do you care to go with me and see what remains of it?
mdp.39015063946779	Do you submit, Sir?
mdp.39015063946779	Do you tell me that you've slept through it all?
mdp.39015063946779	Drunk? mdp.39015063946779 Dwarfs?"
mdp.39015063946779	Dwarfs?
mdp.39015063946779	Eh, my good Bartolome, and so you still cling above the river? mdp.39015063946779 Eh?
mdp.39015063946779	Eh?
mdp.39015063946779	Eh?
mdp.39015063946779	Eh?
mdp.39015063946779	Far? mdp.39015063946779 Father?"
mdp.39015063946779	For calling us rascals?
mdp.39015063946779	For what purpose do you want him?
mdp.39015063946779	H'm — ha — some proverbial saying, no doubt? mdp.39015063946779 Has old Smithers been inquiring again about that waistcoat?"
mdp.39015063946779	Have n't I trouble enough with these tetchy dwarfs, but you must add to it by waking the streets?
mdp.39015063946779	He can smile, then?
mdp.39015063946779	Hey?
mdp.39015063946779	Hey?
mdp.39015063946779	How a score of ewes now?
mdp.39015063946779	How in the world should I know what a lot of Papists would do or not do?
mdp.39015063946779	Hurt?
mdp.39015063946779	I am Paymaster- General, and — er — the fact is"Paymaster- General?
mdp.39015063946779	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063946779	I s'pose you know you're sittin''pon my best bonnet?
mdp.39015063946779	I see,said Burbage blandly:"twopence for salving your conscience, hey?
mdp.39015063946779	I suppose'twouldn't do to offer you my arm?
mdp.39015063946779	I thank you, but had liefer begin and discuss the epilogue: and the epilogue is'Who's to pay?'
mdp.39015063946779	If I spare these men, shall I have your word of honour as soldiers that you will reform?
mdp.39015063946779	If a gentleman of Warwickshire will be beholden to a poor ap- prentice of Cheapside?
mdp.39015063946779	If you feel that way towards him, lad,he answered,"why not accost him?
mdp.39015063946779	Indeed?
mdp.39015063946779	Is that Dick Burbage?
mdp.39015063946779	Is that so, Will?
mdp.39015063946779	Is your friend new to this work?
mdp.39015063946779	Is't true thou'rt become a landowner, down in thy native shire?
mdp.39015063946779	It strikes me, why could n't we collar the whole of this, we two? mdp.39015063946779 James?"
mdp.39015063946779	La, Will, where be thy manners?
mdp.39015063946779	Luisa? mdp.39015063946779 Malt at twenty- eight, you say?"
mdp.39015063946779	May I ask upon what subject?
mdp.39015063946779	Middle- aged, I believe? mdp.39015063946779 Miscarried?
mdp.39015063946779	Mr. James Carthew? mdp.39015063946779 My good Sir, are you crazed?"
mdp.39015063946779	Now, Sir, as a Justice of the Peace, what d'ee think of it?
mdp.39015063946779	Off the Quay, did you say? mdp.39015063946779 Oh, you've come for your money, have you?"
mdp.39015063946779	On the entail?
mdp.39015063946779	Pitch a lady's luggage into the road, would you?
mdp.39015063946779	Pitch a lady's luggage into the road, would you?
mdp.39015063946779	Pray, Sir, where did you get these — these articles?
mdp.39015063946779	Pray, Sir,he addressed the artilleryman,"why are you loitering here when ordered to overtake the main body with all speed?
mdp.39015063946779	Roman camp? mdp.39015063946779 Sale over yet?"
mdp.39015063946779	Sale over? mdp.39015063946779 Say that I risk it?"
mdp.39015063946779	See here, friends: did you ever know an honest Protestant to wear such a thing about him inside his clothes?
mdp.39015063946779	Settin'yourselves up to be men, I s'pose?
mdp.39015063946779	So you've found something better to talk about? mdp.39015063946779 So- so?"
mdp.39015063946779	So? mdp.39015063946779 Suppose we belonged to your own troop, Captain — what would you look for us to answer?"
mdp.39015063946779	Sure,said he, musing,"they do n't lift and pack away the stage every night, do they?
mdp.39015063946779	Swears, doth she? mdp.39015063946779 Taken ill?"
mdp.39015063946779	That's all very well, but where in thunder be the guard- ship?
mdp.39015063946779	The Queen?
mdp.39015063946779	The amount?
mdp.39015063946779	The author? mdp.39015063946779 The author?"
mdp.39015063946779	The caballero will bring them back when he has done with them?
mdp.39015063946779	The child?
mdp.39015063946779	The play?
mdp.39015063946779	The question is, Will you surrender and come along quiet?
mdp.39015063946779	Then a few hours would suffice to save you, Master Carminowe?
mdp.39015063946779	Then something has gone wrong?
mdp.39015063946779	Then you know who did it?
mdp.39015063946779	Then you, too, have a taste for such trifles?
mdp.39015063946779	Three tables? mdp.39015063946779 To me, sir?"
mdp.39015063946779	To what effect did his Majesty answer?
mdp.39015063946779	Very well, then: what do you require of us?
mdp.39015063946779	Was it something about the lamp, Dona Isabel?
mdp.39015063946779	We will talk it over,he repeated briskly, and added,"How?
mdp.39015063946779	We'd found suthin'else to talk about; and if the women have the laugh of us to- day, who's responsible, after all? mdp.39015063946779 Well, and what's wrong wi'that?"
mdp.39015063946779	Well, but what like is he?
mdp.39015063946779	Well, now, supposing it's Susie — and, mind you, I'm not admitting it — you wo n't forbid the banns, I hope?
mdp.39015063946779	What are you telling us, Luisa? mdp.39015063946779 What have you been doin', pray?"
mdp.39015063946779	What in thunder's wrong with the female?
mdp.39015063946779	What is this? mdp.39015063946779 What is't ye lack, my master?"
mdp.39015063946779	What love could it have been that sought this way?
mdp.39015063946779	What proof can I give you?
mdp.39015063946779	What says the Mohun motto, Sir? mdp.39015063946779 What the devil art talking of?
mdp.39015063946779	What's the matter, love?
mdp.39015063946779	What's the name of the ship?
mdp.39015063946779	What's the use? mdp.39015063946779 What's wrong there?"
mdp.39015063946779	What's wrong within?
mdp.39015063946779	What, in the devil's name, are you parleying about, Maria? mdp.39015063946779 What, me?
mdp.39015063946779	What? mdp.39015063946779 Where's my wife, you miserable joker, you?"
mdp.39015063946779	Who are the mortgagees?
mdp.39015063946779	Who is she?
mdp.39015063946779	Why are you telling me this?
mdp.39015063946779	Why not, my angel?
mdp.39015063946779	Why, what on the earth is wrong with ye? mdp.39015063946779 Why, what's wrong with the company?"
mdp.39015063946779	Why, whatever's the matter with you?
mdp.39015063946779	Why, where's the harm on't?
mdp.39015063946779	Will it never come?
mdp.39015063946779	Will the estate sell for that figure?
mdp.39015063946779	Will you hand over my prisoner, or must I blow you all into air? mdp.39015063946779 Wouldst achieve such art as mine with a light foot?
mdp.39015063946779	Wouldst learn to dance, child?
mdp.39015063946779	You are unmarried?
mdp.39015063946779	You are, I presoom, members of the society that I've just had the privilege of addressin'?
mdp.39015063946779	You can find him?
mdp.39015063946779	You dared to interfere with an order of mine? mdp.39015063946779 You do n't suppose Harry was playing against me all this while?
mdp.39015063946779	You recognise the tune, Sirs? mdp.39015063946779 You seem to be pretty full in the bar, to- night?"
mdp.39015063946779	You'll give us another chance, Sir?
mdp.39015063946779	You're sure Billy Johns has n't been drinking again?
mdp.39015063946779	You're the Parson, eh? mdp.39015063946779 You?
mdp.39015063946779	You?
mdp.39015063946779	Your Excellency wishes me to go to Sala- manca? mdp.39015063946779 Your Worship makes sure, I see, that we women are going to beat?"
mdp.39015063946779	Yours?
mdp.39015063946779	'Give the password, friend, and tell us, What time did he say?'
mdp.39015063946779	A pint of sack, did I say?
mdp.39015063946779	After a minute's silence he asked his men,"If I spare these two, will you promise me to reform?"
mdp.39015063946779	Am I a bullock- driver, Sir, or a muleteer?
mdp.39015063946779	Ancient Romans?"
mdp.39015063946779	And by- and- by she cries out —"Why, my love, whatever are these dabs o'white stuck up and down the foreshore?"
mdp.39015063946779	And how is it I catch you ordering my reserve about?
mdp.39015063946779	And now be good enough to fetch a chair and stand'pon it; I want you to reach so high as you can — Ready?
mdp.39015063946779	And so, being a decent man, you do n't stomach players?"
mdp.39015063946779	And this King who forwards it for sport — is this he whom your life's business was to defend?"
mdp.39015063946779	And what are you discussing with this person?"
mdp.39015063946779	And what stores were accumulating at Madrid, Valladolid, Burgos?
mdp.39015063946779	And who the dickens was the bald- headed man?
mdp.39015063946779	And whose voice is that calling?"
mdp.39015063946779	And, supposing these cor- respondents to be dead?"
mdp.39015063946779	Are you mad, as well as drunk?
mdp.39015063946779	Are you ready?
mdp.39015063946779	Are you, Sir?"
mdp.39015063946779	Bit of an antiquarian, I'm given to understand?
mdp.39015063946779	Breeds your common at home any such goose as this, that can not tell tickling from roasting?"
mdp.39015063946779	But had n't you better come to the bar for your rum?"
mdp.39015063946779	But if, as you say, you are leaving Tregarrick, at what date may we expect the purchase to be completed?"
mdp.39015063946779	But might there not be more[ 216] THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN profit, as there would certainly be less risk, in taking a hand against him?
mdp.39015063946779	But perhaps this is not your first visit to Corn- wall?"
mdp.39015063946779	But what was this auction?
mdp.39015063946779	But whatever do these dreadful sounds mean?
mdp.39015063946779	But where is our friend the piper?"
mdp.39015063946779	But — six?
mdp.39015063946779	But, now it strikes me Ca n't you come closer?"
mdp.39015063946779	But, perhaps,"she added archly,"you'll like to have a word with Susie, to fill up the time?
mdp.39015063946779	Ca n't you see how?"
mdp.39015063946779	Can you name the sum?"
mdp.39015063946779	Cometh he not, by the way, from your part of the world?"
mdp.39015063946779	Dance to a carol?"
mdp.39015063946779	Did Grosvenor ever we d in these parts?
mdp.39015063946779	Did I not warn thee beware, master wagoner, of the kerbstones at the corners?
mdp.39015063946779	Did n't his Majesty pick and choose us for special service?
mdp.39015063946779	Didst hear the poor thing cry out?"
mdp.39015063946779	Didst not see me, then, in the theatre this after- noon?
mdp.39015063946779	Do I not speak the truth, Captain Wyvern?"
mdp.39015063946779	Do you wish to see him?"
mdp.39015063946779	Does she play it yet?
mdp.39015063946779	Doth my Lord Mayor intend a show?
mdp.39015063946779	Doth the parish priest need a miracle- play for his church?
mdp.39015063946779	Eh?
mdp.39015063946779	Eh?
mdp.39015063946779	Generis revocamus honores, is it not?
mdp.39015063946779	Goes it not trippingly, Signore?
mdp.39015063946779	Had he come, then, to Paradise that her voice was pleading for him — pleading for the door to open?
mdp.39015063946779	Had they decamped, scurry- ing, at the first hint of the brawl?
mdp.39015063946779	Han't I got my feelings, same as yourself?"
mdp.39015063946779	Harry?
mdp.39015063946779	Has Dick Burbage called out the train- bands to help him?
mdp.39015063946779	Has he cut and run?"
mdp.39015063946779	Has it miscarried, then?"
mdp.39015063946779	Has the house a quay- door?"
mdp.39015063946779	Hast ever heard, Mr. Bur- bage"—John Shakespeare swung about—"of a proverb we have down in our Warwickshire?
mdp.39015063946779	Hast ever seen a hen when her duckling takes to water?
mdp.39015063946779	Have we brought timber to Sherwood?
mdp.39015063946779	Have you a wish, my friend, to make[ 3i] SHAKESPEARE'S CHRISTMAS nearer acquaintance with these dogs?
mdp.39015063946779	He died — let me see — was it two year agone?
mdp.39015063946779	He stretched out both hands towards the man, the woman — would they, too, vanish? — and the damning stain?
mdp.39015063946779	He stretched out both hands towards the man, the woman — would they, too, vanish? — and the damning stain?
mdp.39015063946779	Here come I with Thespis, riding on a wagon: but where tarries the vintage feast?
mdp.39015063946779	Hey?
mdp.39015063946779	Hist, then, my Thomas, my Didymus, my doubt- ing one!—Canst not hear the rumble of their wheels?
mdp.39015063946779	How came you to make her that tune?"
mdp.39015063946779	How could it matter, in this valley of theirs, what King reigned in far- away Madrid?
mdp.39015063946779	How goes it?
mdp.39015063946779	How is it managed, think you?
mdp.39015063946779	How many men were being drafted down from the north?
mdp.39015063946779	How many scoundrels did you hire, that they take a house to pieces and cart it across Thames faster than we can unload it?"
mdp.39015063946779	How many years, lad, have I been battering the doors of Heralds'College for that grant of arms, promised ere my beard was grey and yours fully grown?"
mdp.39015063946779	How was Marmont scattering his cantonments to feed them?
mdp.39015063946779	I do not belong to the reserve, and I take my orders""Then what the devil are you doing here?
mdp.39015063946779	I hope custom clings here too?"
mdp.39015063946779	I hope there's nothing gone wrong since I've been away?"
mdp.39015063946779	I hope you are enjoying this story?"
mdp.39015063946779	I may come inside, I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015063946779	I never did approve of women dressing man- fashion: but what's the use of making a row- in the house?'
mdp.39015063946779	I tell thee, Tom — but where be the others?
mdp.39015063946779	I?"
mdp.39015063946779	If the French landed they would n't begin by sticking dabs of whitewash all over the parish; now, would they?"
mdp.39015063946779	In short, my friend, since we are on the way to Salamanca, why should I not apply there for my doctor's degree?"
mdp.39015063946779	Is he here too?"
mdp.39015063946779	Is she a woman of strong mind?
mdp.39015063946779	Is't of her money the country nurses think when to wondering chil- dren they fable of streets all paved with gold?
mdp.39015063946779	May I ask, gentlemen, if you've come from far?
mdp.39015063946779	Mr. Addison is staying the night here, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063946779	My dear sir, do I look like a man able to purchase Welland?
mdp.39015063946779	Nay, rather the talk of Justice Shallow himself —"How a good yoke of bullocks at Stamford Fair?"
mdp.39015063946779	No?
mdp.39015063946779	Oh,'tis the handkerchief you're looking at?
mdp.39015063946779	Open quickly — It is Mercedes, do you hear?
mdp.39015063946779	Or Scrope?"
mdp.39015063946779	Or is this some new law to harass players?"
mdp.39015063946779	Or, know- ing me, have you the assurance to tell me coolly that you have lost — yes, lost — the treasure committed to you?
mdp.39015063946779	Retallack?"
mdp.39015063946779	Sale ov —?"
mdp.39015063946779	Shall I send her word that you are here?
mdp.39015063946779	So he turns to Arch'laus Spry and asks:"Any person taken ill in your parish?"
mdp.39015063946779	So?
mdp.39015063946779	Tell me, lad, have I made good my promises, or have I not?"
mdp.39015063946779	The Fuentes?
mdp.39015063946779	The Theatre down?
mdp.39015063946779	The chimney overleaning the road?
mdp.39015063946779	The earth swallow us?
mdp.39015063946779	The man's at the top of the tree, is he?
mdp.39015063946779	Then, as the lady made no answer —"You did not believe you had another chance?"
mdp.39015063946779	They are Frenchmen, doubtless?"
mdp.39015063946779	This here's a public challenge, hey?"
mdp.39015063946779	Was n't that a disconnected way of talk- ing?
mdp.39015063946779	Was this the talk of Shakespeare?
mdp.39015063946779	We can get you into communication with them, Don Eugenio: but how are they to pass their in- formation to you?
mdp.39015063946779	We go to Salvatierra?
mdp.39015063946779	We're alone: no one knows; I've but to lift one of these"— he tapped the guns —"and where would you be?
mdp.39015063946779	Well, then, at angling I make a cast and hitch my line over a bough, or it drops into some thicket, and thereat how can a man keep tranquil?
mdp.39015063946779	What Frenchman?"
mdp.39015063946779	What a plague means this hammering?
mdp.39015063946779	What can I do in a country like this with dollars it took two carts to drag here — two carts with six yoke of bullocks apiece?
mdp.39015063946779	What d'ee think he answered?
mdp.39015063946779	What do you know of Luisa?"
mdp.39015063946779	What foreign gabble is this?"
mdp.39015063946779	What in the world was there to miscarry?
mdp.39015063946779	What in thunder d'ee mean by not tolling the minute- bell?"
mdp.39015063946779	What light on earth do you suppose this to be all about us?"
mdp.39015063946779	What other man — now that her husband had gone soldiering — ever trod this path?
mdp.39015063946779	What provisions did Salamanca contain?
mdp.39015063946779	What say you to the Bankside, for example?"
mdp.39015063946779	What sort of drop lay below it?
mdp.39015063946779	What the devil do I care for your pettifogging bones?
mdp.39015063946779	What was hap- pening to Mistress Quickly and Doll Tearsheet?
mdp.39015063946779	What was the matter?
mdp.39015063946779	What was the state of the harvest?
mdp.39015063946779	What would you have?
mdp.39015063946779	What's her name, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063946779	What's that, I'd like to know?"
mdp.39015063946779	What?
mdp.39015063946779	What?
mdp.39015063946779	Where be the others?
mdp.39015063946779	Where be the roasted geese, capons, sucking- pigs?
mdp.39015063946779	Where be the spigots?
mdp.39015063946779	Where did you draw the bricks?"
mdp.39015063946779	Where is General Paget?"
mdp.39015063946779	Where is Luisa?"
mdp.39015063946779	Where should they be?
mdp.39015063946779	Where the dancing girls?
mdp.39015063946779	Where the hogs- puddings, the trifles, the custards, the frumenties?
mdp.39015063946779	Where the minstrels?
mdp.39015063946779	Where would be gone that glee of her that lifts a man's lungs and swells his port when his feet feel London stones?
mdp.39015063946779	Who called for music?"
mdp.39015063946779	Who is that?"
mdp.39015063946779	Who would n't?
mdp.39015063946779	Whose voice was that?
mdp.39015063946779	Why love a mistress and be curst with her?
mdp.39015063946779	Why spoil his game by arousing the neigh- bourhood?"
mdp.39015063946779	Why was this man turning on his puppets and rending them?
mdp.39015063946779	Will you answer if I put to you a question or two?"
mdp.39015063946779	Will you pardon a question of some abruptness?
mdp.39015063946779	Will?"
mdp.39015063946779	Wilt guess what I am writing, now at the last?
mdp.39015063946779	With my fol- de- rol, tooral — why, whatever's wrong with'ee all?
mdp.39015063946779	With one child, and not likely to have another?"
mdp.39015063946779	With the bears, then?
mdp.39015063946779	Would such an offer be accepted?"
mdp.39015063946779	X THE LAMP AND THE GUITAR Will you not take a guitar, Senorita, and help me with the old song?
mdp.39015063946779	You are acquainted, no doubt, with the present Mrs. James Carthew?"
mdp.39015063946779	You are not acquainted, I believe?
mdp.39015063946779	You do n't tell me, after singing the song, that you never heard tell of Sally Han- cock?
mdp.39015063946779	You follow me?"
mdp.39015063946779	You have marched and countermarched for — how long?
mdp.39015063946779	You hear me?"
mdp.39015063946779	You refuse?"
mdp.39015063946779	You three left alone here?
mdp.39015063946779	You want to know how?
mdp.39015063946779	You've ordered supper at the Sailor's Return?"
mdp.39015063946779	You, Sir, are Don Eugenio, are you not?"
mdp.39015063946779	Young Herbert glanced at Burbage with lifted eyebrow, as if to demand,"Who is this madman?"
mdp.39015063946779	Your Excellency, by the way, will allow me to promise that future reports are not for publication?"
mdp.39015063946779	Your garden full?

mdp.39015063946779	he took me up;"what does it matter?
mdp.39015063946779	what have I done — a poor weak woman — to be mixed up in these plots and invasions?"
mdp.39015063946779	with an influence upon her husband?"
mdp.39015063946779	with coat- of- arms and all?"
mdp.39015063946779	— Eh, lad?"
mdp.39015063946779	— You will tell me if I guess amiss?"
mdp.39015063946779	— and come to me whining when that company is actually engaged with the enemy?

mdp.39015086842096	And what is your object in keeping me from Sophie? ” he asked. mdp.39015086842096 Can you tell me, my man, if this is where the sick woman is? ” he asked.
mdp.39015086842096	I am a man from Archangel,he said simply;"a Russian man. ” “ What is your name?"
mdp.39015086842096	I suppose you think it's all right now, Doctor?
mdp.39015086842096	Where then? ” asked Dick. mdp.39015086842096 Why dangerous?"
mdp.39015086842096	* Ye white- faced swab, what d'ye mean?'
mdp.39015086842096	163 with the latter in his own cabin, and reveal it all?

mdp.39015086842096	And why did I pace the solitary shore, hot and wrathful as a wolf whose whelp has been torn from it?
mdp.39015086842096	Are bad dreams signs of madness?"
mdp.39015086842096	Are you unwell? ” “ Brandy! ” he gasped.
mdp.39015086842096	Barrington Cowles walked on for some time, and then he suddenly turned on me with the strange question- “ Do you think she is cruel?
mdp.39015086842096	But was it the same town?
mdp.39015086842096	But what did they mean by their allu- sion to to- night?
mdp.39015086842096	Can it be that he contemplates suicide?
mdp.39015086842096	Could it be that they contemplated putting their horrible design into execution on the very first evening of our voyage?

mdp.39015086842096	Did I not stand two hours upon a glass insulator while you poured electricity into my body?
mdp.39015086842096	Did n't I warm him up?
mdp.39015086842096	Did ye no hear it skirling?
mdp.39015086842096	Do n't you see that every word confirmed our previous suspicion?"
mdp.39015086842096	Do you not think that she may come to forget this man and to love me?
mdp.39015086842096	Do you think she is the sort of girl who would take a pleasure in inflicting pain?
mdp.39015086842096	Four- and- thirty times you have mesmerised me, and what have I got from all this?
mdp.39015086842096	Had this woman some baleful secret to disclose which must be known before her marriage?
mdp.39015086842096	Have you not stimulated my phrenic nerves, besides ruining my digestion with a galvanic current round my stomach?
mdp.39015086842096	He hardly dared ask himself what was the object of this wild journey?
mdp.39015086842096	How could I get at some tangible conclusion as to her character and antecedents?
mdp.39015086842096	How dare you shake your head, sir, when I tell you I saw them blowing from the masthead?
mdp.39015086842096	How in thunder could she get into the ship?
mdp.39015086842096	How long I remained sitting on that coil of rope?
mdp.39015086842096	How long do you reckon it will be before they hear of us?"
mdp.39015086842096	How was it?
mdp.39015086842096	I coupled it with poor drunken Reeves'plaintive cry, “ Why did she not tell me sooner? ” and with the other words he had spoken.
mdp.39015086842096	I say,"he began,"you know Reeves, do n't you?"
mdp.39015086842096	If John went to Canada, then Canada became home to her, for what had Brisport to offer when he was gone?
mdp.39015086842096	If the great Osiris had wished that our years should be so long, would he not himself have brought it about?'
mdp.39015086842096	Is it for this that I have braved my mother's wrath?
mdp.39015086842096	Is it not so?"
mdp.39015086842096	Let me see it. ” “ Is no one looking?".
mdp.39015086842096	Mal de mer, eh?"
mdp.39015086842096	Maybe that's a supersteetion?
mdp.39015086842096	Might it not by some remote possibility prove that I was mistaken?
mdp.39015086842096	Now, Doctor, do you think I can leave the country when there is only one infernal strip of ice between me and my fortune?
mdp.39015086842096	October 24.—Is the ship accursed?
mdp.39015086842096	Or was it some reason which forbade others to marry her?

mdp.39015086842096	She was a leaky tub, but what then?
mdp.39015086842096	The cosmical procession is terminated only by the unknowable and unpronounceable'- “ May I ask, Mr. Smollett, what you find to laugh Rt?"
mdp.39015086842096	The “ You wo n't give her up to me?"
mdp.39015086842096	Then the voice began again- “ They'll hear the drop of the trigger, wo n't they?"
mdp.39015086842096	There will be some excitement among those we have left behind, wo n't there?"
mdp.39015086842096	Was Miss Northcott endowed with some exceptional power of the sort?
mdp.39015086842096	Was ever a man in such a position as I, between a demented captain and a ghost- seeing mate?
mdp.39015086842096	Was it right?'
mdp.39015086842096	Was it some reason which forbade her to marry?
mdp.39015086842096	Was it that I loved this Muscovite girl?
mdp.39015086842096	Was there ever a voyage which began so fairly and which changed so disastrously?
mdp.39015086842096	We'll all be in the arms of our own true loves before long, lad, wo n't we?

mdp.39015086842096	What did I do ten months ago which inspired you with such a particular affection for me?
mdp.39015086842096	What did he expect?
mdp.39015086842096	What do you mean?
mdp.39015086842096	What human mood is there which it does not match and sympathise with?
mdp.39015086842096	What impression would any of these accusations make upon an ardent lover- a man with my friend's enthusiastic temperament?
mdp.39015086842096	What is it, then? ” “ It is the unexpected honour, ” stammered Spiegel, who was in the chair.
mdp.39015086842096	What is your message?'
mdp.39015086842096	What is your name? ” No answer, save a wild stare.

mdp.39015086842096	What was the mean- ing of it all?
mdp.39015086842096	What would be my feelings if there should turn out to be no grounds for my accusation?
mdp.39015086842096	What would be the first symptoms?"

mdp.39015086842096	Where the Henker am I then, and what in thunder has occurred?
mdp.39015086842096	Whither, then, had their souls fled?
mdp.39015086842096	Who is to take the risk?"
mdp.39015086842096	Who shall undertake to judge what is really small and what is great?
mdp.39015086842096	Why do n't you go and fetch my slippers, and help your mother to dish the dinner?"
mdp.39015086842096	Why do you do this thing?"
mdp.39015086842096	Why do you wish to be drowned?"
mdp.39015086842096	Why should I help men who were blind to their own danger?

mdp.39015086842096	Why should the man be settling his affairs at the very time when we seem to be emerging from all danger?
mdp.39015086842096	Why should they presume to shirk the narrow pathway along which all that is great and noble among mankind has travelled?
mdp.39015086842096	Why then should we exist?'
mdp.39015086842096	Why was that word and the men's speech so familiar to him?
mdp.39015086842096	Why, how are you, old man? ” This was an unexpected piece of luck in the midst of my perplexities.
mdp.39015086842096	Why, man,"he continued, “ what object would any one have in destroying this ship?
mdp.39015086842096	Why, master, I believe as how you're weak in the upper works, d'ye see?
mdp.39015086842096	Woman, will you or will you not stir your legs?"
mdp.39015086842096	Would Mary be still alive?
mdp.39015086842096	Would they admit of any construction but the one which stared me in the face?

mdp.39015086842096	You do n't mean to say that you are engaged to her? ” “ I thought you would be surprised, ” he answered.
mdp.39015086842096	You remember that girl whom we both admired so much at the Academy?"
mdp.39015086842096	am otherwise, who intended to sacrifice themselves, their fellow- passengers, and the ship, in one great holocaust?
mdp.39015086842096	and, above all, what am I to do?"
mdp.39015086842096	ghost- seeing mate?
mdp.39015086842096	got ashore all right, then?"
mdp.39015086842096	he said, in his kindly way, “ what's put you about, Hammond?
mdp.39015086842096	iVhy did it send such a thrill through his nerves to listen to it?
mdp.39015086842096	in that sentence which followed—“He had theories of the power of the human will and of the effect of mind upon matter"?
mdp.39015086842096	said the fat lady at my side,"you do n't really think they would blow up a ship? ” “ I have no doubt they would if they could.
mdp.39015086842096	she asked,'was it not a thwarting of the will of the gods?
mdp.39015086842096	she would n't so much as hear of it. ” “ And why was that?"
mdp.39015086842096	the same Vansittart Smith who gave a paper in London upon El Kab?
mdp.39015086842096	think this is a wayside inn or place of public ac- commodation?"
mdp.39015086842096	what about them?"
mdp.39015086842096	who comes here?'
mdp.39015086842096	you notice that beautiful woman, in the dark dress, with the white fur?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Am I to be paid always thus?
mdp.39015086842096	“ And the ear?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ And what would my daughter say to this? ” the Professor exclaimed, after a pause of astonishment.
mdp.39015086842096	“ But poor granny, how is she to cross the seas?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ But suppose a man brought explosives aboard with him? ” I suggested.
mdp.39015086842096	“ Can I not soften you in any way?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Can you tell me, friend, how that one cottage came among all those fine houses?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Can you tell me, sir,"he said, “ when this ship will be heard of again?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Do n't you think you are rather underrating them? ” he said.
mdp.39015086842096	“ Do you imagine that I would injure her?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Do you mind moving out of that, sir? ” he said.
mdp.39015086842096	“ Every secret society has produced despe- rate men — why should n't the Fenians have them too?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Francais?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Get home, eh?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ How is your patient, doctor? ” he asked in a trembling voice.
mdp.39015086842096	“ How much, Jimmy? ” asks his master, taking up his pen.
mdp.39015086842096	“ How?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ I hear it is your own design, every bit of it, is n't it?
mdp.39015086842096	“ I wonder if the trigger will act?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ I'm to write to- night then and accept?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Is that you, Hammond? ” said a voice which I seemed to recognise.
mdp.39015086842096	“ Is there anything wonderful in that request when a man has been out all day?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Is there room for another passenger?'
mdp.39015086842096	“ It is true, Fritz. ”"And have you considered, my dear sir, that you may have some difficulty in finding some one on whom to try this?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Lisbon. ” “ How many of a crew?".
mdp.39015086842096	“ Married! ” cried a student, bolder than the others “ Is Madame dead, then? ” “ Madame who? ” “ Why, Madame von Baumgarten, of course."
mdp.39015086842096	“ Married! ” cried a student, bolder than the others “ Is Madame dead, then? ” “ Madame who? ” “ Why, Madame von Baumgarten, of course."
mdp.39015086842096	“ May I ask what precautions are taken against them? ” asked an elderly man at the end of the table.
mdp.39015086842096	“ May I ask, Captain,"I said, bending forward and speaking very distinctly, “ what you think of Fenian manifestoes?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ My dear fellow, what is the matter?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ No gentleman from the South?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ No, now- are you though?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Nothing amiss, I trust?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Oh, he abandoned her, did he?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Oh, that's it, is it? ” the other says in an aggrieved tone.
mdp.39015086842096	“ One of us?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Où est la collection de Memphis?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Passengers?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Pray sir, what language do you call it?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Steward,"said Dick,"are there any other gentle- men about? ” “ There's two in the smoking- room, sir,"answered the steward.
mdp.39015086842096	“ There, Dick,"I said, as I concluded, “ what do you think of that?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Vous êtes un Egyptien, n'est- ce pas?
mdp.39015086842096	“ We were to let it off at ten, were we not?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Weel, Doctor,"he said,"maybe that's auld wives'clavers tae?
mdp.39015086842096	“ Well, what do you think now?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ What country do you come from? ” I asked her suddenly.
mdp.39015086842096	“ What do you think of me?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ What else?
mdp.39015086842096	“ What is it to you whether they are drowned or not?
mdp.39015086842096	“ What smash?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ What the deuce does the girl mean?
mdp.39015086842096	“ What would you call a delusion?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Where are ye off to to- day then?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Where do you come from?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Who are you?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ Who? ” I cried, straining my eyes into the dark- ness.
mdp.39015086842096	“ Yes,"said Miss Northcott,"I think that Jack ought to be very proud of his strength of mind; do n't you, Mr. Armitage?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ You do n't think I am, do you, Doc?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ You give me credit for a strong will then?"
mdp.39015086842096	“ You saw it, did n't you? ” he asked, still in the same subdued awesome tone so foreign to the nature of the man.
mdp.39015086842096	“ You'll come back, Jimmy? ” “ Yes, I'll come back.
mdp.39015063938545	A missing part?
mdp.39015063938545	About what, huh?
mdp.39015063938545	After all, the whole case hinges on this: what is the nurse's story? mdp.39015063938545 Ah, ha, so papa guessed right, did n't he?
mdp.39015063938545	All right, what is it? mdp.39015063938545 Am I to understand that I am already being accused of complicity in these acts of violence, officer?"
mdp.39015063938545	Am I to understand that you called for your patient to escort her to a dinner engagement but in- stead drove out to Windward Hill? mdp.39015063938545 And I suppose you had considered the problem of getting access to Miss Marrender's box?
mdp.39015063938545	And if she swallows a dose of poison just when she comes across with her confession, then where are you?
mdp.39015063938545	And in what condition did you leave the room?
mdp.39015063938545	And it was unlocked?
mdp.39015063938545	And now, may I ask, what use do you expect to make of this information?
mdp.39015063938545	And say, Dick, guess what now?
mdp.39015063938545	And that?
mdp.39015063938545	And the — er — occasion of my summons?
mdp.39015063938545	And was the room in good order?
mdp.39015063938545	And what time was it when I returned?
mdp.39015063938545	And when you left?
mdp.39015063938545	And you heard nothing more until the nurse re- ported that the patient had died in her sleep?
mdp.39015063938545	And your guess about that?
mdp.39015063938545	Another thing, while you were in the little gallery did you try the door that leads into the hall to see if it was locked?
mdp.39015063938545	Any such calls last night?
mdp.39015063938545	Are you sure he left no children?
mdp.39015063938545	Are you sure that she was — all right at one o'clock, nurse?
mdp.39015063938545	Are — are you going to arrest Gene?
mdp.39015063938545	As you say, what of k? mdp.39015063938545 Aunt Eugenia's butler?
mdp.39015063938545	Aw, say it with flowers, why do n't you? mdp.39015063938545 Because you think it will lead you to the murderer?
mdp.39015063938545	Before she passed away, you mean?
mdp.39015063938545	But Wednesday was a bank holiday —Dinner a Deux 125"What address in Edgefield?"
mdp.39015063938545	But the emerald, Dick? mdp.39015063938545 But, Sally, are you sure it was your revolver you 106 Death at Windward Hill found?"
mdp.39015063938545	By the way, Mrs. Banney, in your work this week have you done any sort of cleaning in that alcove in the upper hall?
mdp.39015063938545	By the way, have you heard from PeeDee?
mdp.39015063938545	By the way, these belong to you, do they not?
mdp.39015063938545	By which you mean that if necessary you can throw the light of publicity upon your last business arrange- ment with Miss Marrender?
mdp.39015063938545	Ca n't we? mdp.39015063938545 Call her a spectator, do you, when she crawls through a window and overhauls a room?"
mdp.39015063938545	Consequences? mdp.39015063938545 Could you have recognized him as anybody else?"
mdp.39015063938545	Cubbage? mdp.39015063938545 Did I?
mdp.39015063938545	Did Marrender see Tracy yesterday?
mdp.39015063938545	Did he call from his home?
mdp.39015063938545	Did he tell you that his aunt had been murdered?
mdp.39015063938545	Did he, by any chance, use the phrase'of sound mind'?
mdp.39015063938545	Did it have to be done in this room?
mdp.39015063938545	Did them burglars take anything?
mdp.39015063938545	Did you leave them there?
mdp.39015063938545	Do I understand you to say that you found a weapon, Miss Marrender?
mdp.39015063938545	Do n't you agree with my husband, Inspector, that they must convince themselves — as they are doing now? mdp.39015063938545 Do you have to know that?"
mdp.39015063938545	Do you mean to say that your examination was so casual that you failed to see that she had been shot?
mdp.39015063938545	Do you mind telling me where you replaced the brooch?
mdp.39015063938545	Do you mind telling me, Stowe, just how you knew that my aunt possessed such a jewel and how you learned that it was missing? mdp.39015063938545 Does Mrs. Latimer share that feeling with you?"
mdp.39015063938545	Does our presence still embarrass you?
mdp.39015063938545	Does your theory include the idea of possible foul play — that the girl's to be suppressed permanently?
mdp.39015063938545	Eugene Tracy is a nephew also, is n't he? mdp.39015063938545 Ever see this chap in here, Jake?
mdp.39015063938545	For the love of Lulu, Dick, where have you stuck yourself? mdp.39015063938545 Good Lord, is there more?"
mdp.39015063938545	Gyp you? mdp.39015063938545 Has Dr. Stuart found his stolen property?"
mdp.39015063938545	Has another mail come in?
mdp.39015063938545	Has n't it occurred to you that as a name for a butler Cubbage is too good to be true? mdp.39015063938545 Has your PeeDee started back yet?"
mdp.39015063938545	Have n't you a question you'd like to ask the detective, dear?
mdp.39015063938545	Hear any sound from the room that was entered?
mdp.39015063938545	Here's my question, Mr. Stowe: How did this article come into your possession?
mdp.39015063938545	Here?
mdp.39015063938545	Him? mdp.39015063938545 How about it, you?"
mdp.39015063938545	How about talking to her myself?
mdp.39015063938545	How about that third question? mdp.39015063938545 How did Marrender explain his reference to Gene?"
mdp.39015063938545	How did it get there?
mdp.39015063938545	How did you make the trip from Burden Street to Windward Hill?
mdp.39015063938545	How do I tell what you find interesting? mdp.39015063938545 How long has he been with your aunt?
mdp.39015063938545	How long was he with you before you told him to go?
mdp.39015063938545	How long was your brother here?
mdp.39015063938545	How many of the family do you know by sight?
mdp.39015063938545	How you tell those things? mdp.39015063938545 I could n't let him play me for a sucker, could I?
mdp.39015063938545	I know, but it was hardly the thing to disturb a sick woman's household at that ungodly hour, was it?
mdp.39015063938545	I might ask on my part, what has she on you?
mdp.39015063938545	I say, Mr. Dexter, were any of the heirs acquainted with the terms of Miss Marrender's will?
mdp.39015063938545	I suppose till we hear from Radge and the p.m. we ought to go a little easy, huh?
mdp.39015063938545	I told you why I had to go?
mdp.39015063938545	I'm not trying to insult you, Miss Penrose, but how can you verify what you have been telling me?
mdp.39015063938545	If it's Sally's, then the problem is, how did Tracy get the Marrender gun?
mdp.39015063938545	If we're not careful, we'll have you thinking we do n't quite trust you, what?
mdp.39015063938545	In that case, what brought you to his Burden Street place the other day?
mdp.39015063938545	In what condition did you find the little gallery when you entered it?
mdp.39015063938545	In what way,he asked graciously,"may I be of assistance to the police?"
mdp.39015063938545	Is n't it strange that it took you at least three hours to walk back to Burden Street?
mdp.39015063938545	Is that all? mdp.39015063938545 Is that the second of your three questions?
mdp.39015063938545	Just as a matter of record, who was it?
mdp.39015063938545	Just how do you mean that Miss Marrender talked to Cubbage?
mdp.39015063938545	Just where did he do this few minutes'waiting, Miss Trent?
mdp.39015063938545	Later you heard —?
mdp.39015063938545	Left a receipt? mdp.39015063938545 Listen, La La, how's this?
mdp.39015063938545	Listen, Sally, I told you that I was going to Windward Hill, did n't I?
mdp.39015063938545	Meaning Sally and Will?
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Mar- render, will you tell me what brought you here to- night?
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Marrender, were you by any chance com- ing to look for this?
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Penrose, which window did you use to enter the little gallery?
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Randall, are you the sort of person who is sen- sitive to the unseen presence of another?
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Randall, may I present my husband? mdp.39015063938545 Miss Wilcox is Mr. Marrender's secretary, is she?"
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Wilcox, are you sure you do n't smoke?
mdp.39015063938545	Miss Wilcox, how did you know that there was such a key in this room and that its possession would win you — what you wanted for Gene Tracy?
mdp.39015063938545	More or less than an hour?
mdp.39015063938545	Motive?
mdp.39015063938545	Mr. Marrender knew, of course, that he was to be the executor of his aunt's estate?
mdp.39015063938545	Mr. Marrender, do you call behavior like that delu- sions of grandeur?
mdp.39015063938545	Mrs. Morrison, will you please show this gentleman where we always keep the arsenal?
mdp.39015063938545	My receipt did not do you much good, did it? mdp.39015063938545 Next?"
mdp.39015063938545	Not Cubbage?
mdp.39015063938545	Not so bad, this dope, eh, Timmy?
mdp.39015063938545	Not till Dick here said,'What about the weapon in the case?' mdp.39015063938545 Now what the hell should she lie about that for?"
mdp.39015063938545	Oh, Dick, are n't I just the smartest wife you ever had?
mdp.39015063938545	On what terms were he and his aunt living to- gether?
mdp.39015063938545	Otherwise what?
mdp.39015063938545	Poor kid, she's in rather a nasty hole, is n't she?
mdp.39015063938545	Rather like a woman, I suppose, to put only a single charge in her weapon... or is it?
mdp.39015063938545	Relentless, are n't you? mdp.39015063938545 Say, he's never home, is he?
mdp.39015063938545	See here, Miss Marrender, did you go to Wind- ward Hill last night to search for this piece of chain?
mdp.39015063938545	See here,barked Dick,"what time was it when you heard the shot?"
mdp.39015063938545	Shades of the spirit world,thought Dick,"what's going to break?"
mdp.39015063938545	She — she's been murdered, has n't she?
mdp.39015063938545	Since you were so close to Windward Hill, why did n't you go up there and call for help? mdp.39015063938545 Since you were the woman who was with Tracy through certain hours of Tuesday night, why have n't you men- tioned the emerald?"
mdp.39015063938545	So as far as you know, you and your sister, Will and Sally Marrender, and Eugene Tracy are the only de- scendants of old Robert Rufus Marrender?
mdp.39015063938545	So you could n't prove that she was dead or alive then, could you?
mdp.39015063938545	So you people are satis- fied with the butler theory, are you?
mdp.39015063938545	So you saw nor heard nothing from Tracy until yesterday? mdp.39015063938545 So?
mdp.39015063938545	Stowe, have you seen my aunt's emerald?
mdp.39015063938545	Take a look at that, will you? mdp.39015063938545 That so?
mdp.39015063938545	That you, Dick? mdp.39015063938545 That you, Doris?"
mdp.39015063938545	The day after the party, huh?
mdp.39015063938545	The doctor? mdp.39015063938545 The last time I seen him here was two weeks ago 106 Death at Windward Hill"May I see the bit of chain, please?"
mdp.39015063938545	The names of the legatees?
mdp.39015063938545	The place?
mdp.39015063938545	The time?
mdp.39015063938545	Then how do you account for this?
mdp.39015063938545	Then there's the possibility that it was something of that sort that she wanted to see you about, is n't there?
mdp.39015063938545	Theorizing, am I? mdp.39015063938545 This is n't number two either: can you venture a guess about the time?"
mdp.39015063938545	This is what you handed me last night, is n't it?
mdp.39015063938545	This part of the exhibit?
mdp.39015063938545	This statement that you signed,Dick went on,"do you know where your aunt kept it?"
mdp.39015063938545	To what extent can you accept the word of a man who was as far under as I was on that occasion?
mdp.39015063938545	Tracy, are you sure you do n't know what it was that he could explain?
mdp.39015063938545	Tracy, to what extent can you verify the story Miss Wilcox has been telling us?
mdp.39015063938545	Tracy, what do you know about your aunt's emerald?
mdp.39015063938545	Trouble?
mdp.39015063938545	Two sons?
mdp.39015063938545	Used the wrong word, eh? mdp.39015063938545 Was she alone?"
mdp.39015063938545	Was the room in order at that time?
mdp.39015063938545	Well, Timmie me lad, what did you think of my third degree? mdp.39015063938545 Well, what of it?"
mdp.39015063938545	Well, what's missing?
mdp.39015063938545	Well,he challenged,"why do n't you produce the thumb- screws?"
mdp.39015063938545	Were you driving alone? mdp.39015063938545 Were you still there or at your own home when you received word that Miss Marrender had died dur- ing the night?"
mdp.39015063938545	What became of the gloves you lost last Tuesday night?
mdp.39015063938545	What can you tell me about the butler?
mdp.39015063938545	What did Cubbage tell you?
mdp.39015063938545	What did I tell you?
mdp.39015063938545	What did she say?
mdp.39015063938545	What did you come for, Sally?
mdp.39015063938545	What do you know about your cousin Eugene's status with your aunt?
mdp.39015063938545	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063938545	What do you propose to do?
mdp.39015063938545	What is it, Miss Randall?
mdp.39015063938545	What made you so busy getting rid of a gun of the same calibre that killed the old lady?
mdp.39015063938545	What makes you think that, dear lady?
mdp.39015063938545	What of it, huh? mdp.39015063938545 What sort of car?
mdp.39015063938545	What time did you get out there?
mdp.39015063938545	What time did you get this call, Miss Wilcox?
mdp.39015063938545	What time was it when you found her in your office?
mdp.39015063938545	What was her condition at that time?
mdp.39015063938545	What was the nature of these papers? mdp.39015063938545 What — what was that you said about knowing who murdered Cubbage?
mdp.39015063938545	What's the use, Janet? mdp.39015063938545 What's to become of Windward Hill?"
mdp.39015063938545	What's your line on the nurse?
mdp.39015063938545	What, again?
mdp.39015063938545	What, for instance?
mdp.39015063938545	When did this letter come in, Miss Wilcox?
mdp.39015063938545	When did you last see your aunt?
mdp.39015063938545	When did you last see your cousin, Eugene Tracy?
mdp.39015063938545	When did you last see your patient, doctor?
mdp.39015063938545	When did you learn of Miss Marrender's death?
mdp.39015063938545	When was that, Bettina?
mdp.39015063938545	Where can I find her?
mdp.39015063938545	Where did the message come from?
mdp.39015063938545	Where indeed?
mdp.39015063938545	Where were her gloves?
mdp.39015063938545	Where's your gun, Miss Marrender — that.38 that's on the permit records?
mdp.39015063938545	Where's your telephone?
mdp.39015063938545	While you were locked in the drawing- room, what at any time did you hear?
mdp.39015063938545	While you were waiting at the entrance of the drive did you observe anything that I might find interesting?
mdp.39015063938545	Who beside yourself and the old lady were in the house last night?
mdp.39015063938545	Who else was with him at any time during those two days?
mdp.39015063938545	Who left the child? mdp.39015063938545 Who said so?"
mdp.39015063938545	Who told you this?
mdp.39015063938545	Who was searching for what in the little gallery? mdp.39015063938545 Who's inside?"
mdp.39015063938545	Whose picture is this?
mdp.39015063938545	Why be so damned polite? mdp.39015063938545 Why did you scheme so elaborately to get her out of the picture?
mdp.39015063938545	Why did you wait until tonight to search for that key? mdp.39015063938545 Why do n't you refer me to Galeotti?
mdp.39015063938545	Why do you qualify your identifica- tion?
mdp.39015063938545	Why theorize so soon, Timmy?
mdp.39015063938545	Why, how did you know I lost my gloves?
mdp.39015063938545	William Marrender has been remarkably successful with United Utilities, has n't he? mdp.39015063938545 Would you like some coffee, Miss Randall?"
mdp.39015063938545	Would you mind reporting to the proper per- son at Headquarters that the.38 I'm legally permitted to carry with me in the car has been stolen? mdp.39015063938545 Would you say the two pieces are alike?"
mdp.39015063938545	Yeah? mdp.39015063938545 Yeah?
mdp.39015063938545	Yeah? mdp.39015063938545 Yes?"
mdp.39015063938545	You addressed this woman by your patient's name, did you not?
mdp.39015063938545	You are leaving? mdp.39015063938545 You ca n't expect me to answer a silly question like that, can you?"
mdp.39015063938545	You ca n't explain the pen, is that it?
mdp.39015063938545	You did, did you?
mdp.39015063938545	You do n't know?
mdp.39015063938545	You going away?
mdp.39015063938545	You heard rather a lot, did n't you? mdp.39015063938545 You mean when he lamped the wrecked room?
mdp.39015063938545	You mean — can I feel it if somebody is watching me? mdp.39015063938545 You saw him again?"
mdp.39015063938545	You say that both windows were found open? mdp.39015063938545 You see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063938545	You think you can trust Dexter to tell you —?
mdp.39015063938545	You were in this city last Tuesday night?
mdp.39015063938545	You're sure this is Cubbage's writing?
mdp.39015063938545	You're sure you have n't touched it?
mdp.39015063938545	You've not forgotten about the loan that Marrender pulled off the very day after his aunt was killed, have you? mdp.39015063938545 Your questions call for facts which unfortunately I do not possess, but may I share a suspicion with you?
mdp.39015063938545	Your sister was in your confidence in this matter, was she not?
mdp.39015063938545	... By the way, during your wait there did you by any chance hear the shot?"
mdp.39015063938545	... Is this Tracy's door?"
mdp.39015063938545	...""You have found out —?"
mdp.39015063938545	.?"
mdp.39015063938545	.?"
mdp.39015063938545	138 Death at Windward Hill"Miss Wilcox,"—the girl's gasp of dismay was pitiful —"did you strike any matches while you were in the little gallery?"
mdp.39015063938545	214 Death at Windward Hill gold chain, Dick?"
mdp.39015063938545	218 Memorable Experience of Esme Croft 219 What do you say happened at Windward Hill that night?"
mdp.39015063938545	238 Whose.38?
mdp.39015063938545	312 Death at Windward Hill"Dick, whatever did Miss Penrose mean about the emerald?"
mdp.39015063938545	62 Death at Windward Hill"Kaye?
mdp.39015063938545	According to Cubbage 37"Who was with the sick woman while the nurse was downstairs?"
mdp.39015063938545	After all, was n't it infinitely easier to assume that Cubbage was guilty of everything?
mdp.39015063938545	After having a raise like that handed out to me what could I do?"
mdp.39015063938545	All I said was, Had Mr. Tracy got back from the East yet?
mdp.39015063938545	Aloud he asked,"Is there anyone else about the place that might have noticed whether he had any callers?"
mdp.39015063938545	And that reminds Dr. Stuart Reports a Loss 171 me — how about that shot of Benssen's# 3 that Cubbage took?
mdp.39015063938545	And the condition of the little gallery?"
mdp.39015063938545	And then, just as we were on the home stretch, what do you think?
mdp.39015063938545	And what should she do?
mdp.39015063938545	And why?
mdp.39015063938545	And you can see this envelope addressed to the post- master, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063938545	And you knew they were n't Gene's steps?"
mdp.39015063938545	Any — er — reac- tions?"
mdp.39015063938545	Anyway, I said to Cubbage, who'd stuck right at my heels all along,'What room's that?"
mdp.39015063938545	Are you having a little theory?"
mdp.39015063938545	Are you prepared to prove to me that the gun has been in its usual place continuously from Tuesday on till today?"
mdp.39015063938545	Asher identified himself briskly and asked,"What's the trouble here?"
mdp.39015063938545	At first I thought I should n't mention my visit to 76 Death at Windward Hill Windward Hill, but — I have been very frank, have n't I?"
mdp.39015063938545	At what time had Mrs. Latimer left and had she gone in her own car?
mdp.39015063938545	Banney?"
mdp.39015063938545	Before I answer another one of your questions, will you answer one that I shall put to you?"
mdp.39015063938545	Better drop around a minute, huh?"
mdp.39015063938545	But did you send somebody after him?"
mdp.39015063938545	But first, you people of the police are satisfied that it was Cubbage who shot poor Aunt Eugenia?
mdp.39015063938545	But had the doctor found a garage mechanic?
mdp.39015063938545	But how about the story that Mrs. Latimer had already told him about the man who came crashing down the path?
mdp.39015063938545	But murder — Just what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063938545	But say, Timmy, what for you gyp me about this chain?"
mdp.39015063938545	But see here, Tracy, are you sure you've'remembered'everything?"
mdp.39015063938545	But was n't he the social innocent not to know that Sally of the Shop was Sara Marrender in person?
mdp.39015063938545	But what I really called you about is this: could you hustle into town and make the 8:47 train?
mdp.39015063938545	But what do Confidential Talk with Mrs. Latimer 163 you think?
mdp.39015063938545	But what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063938545	But where are the three people whose alibi for you I'd be willing to listen to respectfully?
mdp.39015063938545	But why was he assuming that she had to be one of the ladies of the family?
mdp.39015063938545	But why?
mdp.39015063938545	Ca n't you see I'm a boy scout in disguise?"
mdp.39015063938545	Call the gun Sally's right away, be- fore anybody could suggest any different, huh?"
mdp.39015063938545	Can you tell me where he could be found now?"
mdp.39015063938545	Could n't you do with another cup of coffee yourself?"
mdp.39015063938545	Could one get to the shop from the apartment above without going out- side and using the main entrance?
mdp.39015063938545	Could she have had any other experience during her visit to the house that would account for her shaken state when she returned to Galeotti?
mdp.39015063938545	Could the doctor recall accurately just who his guests had been?
mdp.39015063938545	Could there be an error about the pair found in Cubbage's overcoat being Mrs. Latimer's?
mdp.39015063938545	Dexter tells me you know your business, but — why have n't you talked matters over with me?"
mdp.39015063938545	Did I say Florida?
mdp.39015063938545	Did I say, also, that I knew what it was?
mdp.39015063938545	Did n't I hear the men from Headquarters talking about a trace they had found of such a gun in Gene's room?
mdp.39015063938545	Did n't you examine the body?
mdp.39015063938545	Did she know her employer's brother, Mr. William Marrender?
mdp.39015063938545	Did the nurse stay up all night with her patient?"
mdp.39015063938545	Did you close it after you?"
mdp.39015063938545	Did you discuss the situation at Windward Hill with any of Miss Marren- der's relatives?"
mdp.39015063938545	Did you read it all, Asher?"
mdp.39015063938545	Dinner a Deux 123"Wh- what did you say?"
mdp.39015063938545	Do n't you remember that the newspapers said they did n't know for a while that she had been shot?
mdp.39015063938545	Do you need three guesses?"
mdp.39015063938545	Dr. Stuart Reports a Loss 173"Where?"
mdp.39015063938545	During that short time that you were at Windward Hill did you note any- thing at all that might help us to understand what hap- pened?
mdp.39015063938545	Ever seen anything like it around the place?"
mdp.39015063938545	For instance, what was it you entered your aunt's house to procure?"
mdp.39015063938545	Francesca's receipt?
mdp.39015063938545	Got a hot idea?"
mdp.39015063938545	Had Mrs. Latimer been at home last Tuesday eve- ning?
mdp.39015063938545	Had she ever been away from home for any extended time?
mdp.39015063938545	Had she gone out with Mr. Latimer?
mdp.39015063938545	Had you said anything definite about that to him?"
mdp.39015063938545	Have I missed something?"
mdp.39015063938545	Have you had any experience with people who have been doped?
mdp.39015063938545	He looked fifty — But, I ask you, where does that get us?"
mdp.39015063938545	Heart, was it?
mdp.39015063938545	Here's my second question: had Tracy promised to give you the emerald?"
mdp.39015063938545	His next was the inevitable question:"Have you any idea what she wanted to see you about?"
mdp.39015063938545	How could it have been at Windward Hill?
mdp.39015063938545	How could she possibly have known who that man was?"
mdp.39015063938545	How could that receipt be used to embarrass you?"
mdp.39015063938545	How could you help her?"
mdp.39015063938545	How did he rate with your aunt?"
mdp.39015063938545	How did she know that interesting fact?
mdp.39015063938545	How did they impress you?"
mdp.39015063938545	How did you get it?"
mdp.39015063938545	How do you know what you did?"
mdp.39015063938545	How do you know you were n't?"
mdp.39015063938545	How do you mean — gone?"
mdp.39015063938545	How long had you been in this room before you heard the shot?"
mdp.39015063938545	I ask you, when?"
mdp.39015063938545	I ask you, where is she?
mdp.39015063938545	I could arrest him right now as a material witness —""Just what did he witness, Timmy?"
mdp.39015063938545	I did n't even know then that Aunt Genie had been shot — remember?
mdp.39015063938545	I do n't care now — Where — where's Francesca —?"
mdp.39015063938545	I had planned to kill time with her today —""Are you telling me anything, Tracy?"
mdp.39015063938545	I must have been in that locked room nearly three hours, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063938545	I told him I'd have ycu call back — Say, why should n't you and I both go 200 210 Death at Windward Hill down to see what's in this Jupe business?
mdp.39015063938545	I understand I am to see him the first thing in the morning and, of course, he'll quail before Dick the Deadly, eh, La La?
mdp.39015063938545	If it turns out that it was fired from the Marrender girl's gun, then what?"
mdp.39015063938545	In the meantime shall I call — the regular police about the theft of my.38?"
mdp.39015063938545	In what way could you make use of them?"
mdp.39015063938545	In your own car?"
mdp.39015063938545	Inspector, what about the doctor's.38?"
mdp.39015063938545	Instead he asked,"How did the nurse impress you?"
mdp.39015063938545	Is n't he named?"
mdp.39015063938545	Is n't that the euphemistic term?
mdp.39015063938545	Is n't that the litany?
mdp.39015063938545	Is there just the bolt?
mdp.39015063938545	It looks as if that fact and the necessity for another nurse before long hurried up things, what?
mdp.39015063938545	It was a nuisance, 155 156 Death at Windward Hill surely, but when these enclosed letters were properly addressed and stamped, what could be done?
mdp.39015063938545	It was a piece of chain with an old watch charm on it —""Like this?"
mdp.39015063938545	It was only a hunch, of course, but what if Cubbage had himself staged the confusion in the little gallery?
mdp.39015063938545	It's all over but the trimmin's —""Why the lack of poise, old horse?
mdp.39015063938545	Just how did you mean — died?"
mdp.39015063938545	Just one of'em missing, see?
mdp.39015063938545	Just what was it that Cubbage could have explained?
mdp.39015063938545	Just what was stolen from that messed up room?"
mdp.39015063938545	May I see the wire?"
mdp.39015063938545	May I use your name?"
mdp.39015063938545	Me?
mdp.39015063938545	Nettie Quinn's Place 195"That you, Stowe?
mdp.39015063938545	No lock, huh?"
mdp.39015063938545	No?
mdp.39015063938545	Now his promise about what?"
mdp.39015063938545	Now what do you suppose the old ghoul was up to?"
mdp.39015063938545	Now what is there that I do n't know?"
mdp.39015063938545	Now, are you sure you have told me everything?"
mdp.39015063938545	Now, how about that nurse?"
mdp.39015063938545	Now, will you examine the open windows and the room from the outside, or do you prefer to enter here?"
mdp.39015063938545	Or something so far un- known?
mdp.39015063938545	Perhaps you remember?
mdp.39015063938545	Please be frank about what she did at that time?"
mdp.39015063938545	Right?"
mdp.39015063938545	Sara Marrender — Marrender's sister, did you say?
mdp.39015063938545	Service, huh?"
mdp.39015063938545	Shall I tell you who I think could have gone up to Windward Hill armed with your gun?"
mdp.39015063938545	Should he not now be identified as the doctor himself rather than Tracy?
mdp.39015063938545	Since she did, had she noticed when And Sally Discovers One 183 he had last been in the shop?
mdp.39015063938545	Since the gun was wrapped in paper towels, I gather that she might Whose.38?
mdp.39015063938545	So I wired Inspector Peyton for a detailed description of the vanished nurse —""What?
mdp.39015063938545	So soon?"
mdp.39015063938545	Sounds — lights — wasn't the well- known fem- inine intuition sparking any static or anything?"
mdp.39015063938545	Stowe Admits Uncertainty 273"'Smatter, Dick?
mdp.39015063938545	Stowe?"
mdp.39015063938545	Sympa- thy vibrated in his voice as he asked,"Did you tell Dr. Stuart about your experience when he returned?"
mdp.39015063938545	The Marrender Heirs 51"Were these bequests conditioned in any way?"
mdp.39015063938545	The agreement that stated the case between Tracy and his aunt?
mdp.39015063938545	The doc came across with his story about picking up a gun that Cubbage said was the Marrender girl's — when?
mdp.39015063938545	The elder one died as quite a young man?"
mdp.39015063938545	Then what?
mdp.39015063938545	Then with bright conversational zeal he asked,"Had your aunt always lived here?
mdp.39015063938545	Then — how about your.38?
mdp.39015063938545	There was a piece of chain like this around the old lady's neck —""You'd not let me hear about it, would you?"
mdp.39015063938545	This dismal old house was the worst place in the world for him to come back to after what he'd just taken, but who was he to crab about that?
mdp.39015063938545	This very morning — was she positive?
mdp.39015063938545	Three cheers — when did this report come in from the post office?"
mdp.39015063938545	To whom is her money to go?
mdp.39015063938545	Trailing Alibis 117"Whose business were you discussing, his or yours?"
mdp.39015063938545	Um- mm, this ever- lasting list is the names of those who turned in tickets at the Art Dinner, is it?
mdp.39015063938545	Was any other member of the family interested in the chain?"
mdp.39015063938545	Was it just blind chance that Mrs. Latimer had dragged him in or had she actually seen him about somewhere?
mdp.39015063938545	Was n't that an unusual poison for a servant to possess?"
mdp.39015063938545	Was that lie necessary, Miss Marrender?"
mdp.39015063938545	Was that on the level, or were you kiddin'me along because I'm new at the business?"
mdp.39015063938545	Was that what she was going to say?
mdp.39015063938545	Were his references looked up?"
mdp.39015063938545	Were you here when Doris told me that she heard Cubbage moving furniture very early that morn- ing?
mdp.39015063938545	What are you going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063938545	What are you up to now?"
mdp.39015063938545	What can you tell me about the circumstances?"
mdp.39015063938545	What can you tell me about the man Cubbage?"
mdp.39015063938545	What commoner place to park what you do n't want to carry around?
mdp.39015063938545	What did you do after that?"
mdp.39015063938545	What did you make of the butler?"
mdp.39015063938545	What difference would it make?
mdp.39015063938545	What do you bet she'll let Stuart know where she is?
mdp.39015063938545	What do you bet that guy is on to what the marks on a bullet can tell?"
mdp.39015063938545	What do you bet we'll be seeing her in about an hour?
mdp.39015063938545	What do you say the Marrender kid planted'em tonight?
mdp.39015063938545	What else did I say?"
mdp.39015063938545	What else did you hear?
mdp.39015063938545	What game had the man been playing?
mdp.39015063938545	What had become of it?
mdp.39015063938545	What has the money to do with this, anyway?"
mdp.39015063938545	What have you got to tell me about what was pulled off here last night?"
mdp.39015063938545	What have you to tell me about it?"
mdp.39015063938545	What if Cubbage had — drugged him?
mdp.39015063938545	What if he had dis- covered who had brought death to Windward Hill?
mdp.39015063938545	What if you did take my revolver?
mdp.39015063938545	What in thunder was the reason for their late visit to the little gallery the night before?
mdp.39015063938545	What made you look for it in Cincinnati?"
mdp.39015063938545	What secret, f'rinstance?"
mdp.39015063938545	What was it and where did it come from?"
mdp.39015063938545	What was there at Windward Hill that would attract thieves?"
mdp.39015063938545	What would she consider the most in- criminating fact that could be brought against him?
mdp.39015063938545	What'll you bet the autopsy will show a.38 bullet?"
mdp.39015063938545	What's your story?"
mdp.39015063938545	When did you hear the gun?"
mdp.39015063938545	When did you last see your aunt?"
mdp.39015063938545	When had Mrs. Latimer returned?
mdp.39015063938545	When we met at last — he still did n't seem to know what he Chapter XXV WHOSE.38?
mdp.39015063938545	Where did she get him?
mdp.39015063938545	Where did you go from there?"
mdp.39015063938545	Where did you pick it up?"
mdp.39015063938545	Where do you suppose I can wing him?"
mdp.39015063938545	Where had she dined?
mdp.39015063938545	Where's the gun that you kept in that drawer?"
mdp.39015063938545	Where?"
mdp.39015063938545	Who am I to set Stowe Views a Portrait 203 conditions?
mdp.39015063938545	Who let you in?
mdp.39015063938545	Who tore up the room if she did n't?"
mdp.39015063938545	Who was in it?"
mdp.39015063938545	Who was it that left your room Wednesday morning?"
mdp.39015063938545	Whose gloves were they?
mdp.39015063938545	Whose.38?
mdp.39015063938545	Why did n't I think of that myself?
mdp.39015063938545	Why did you object to the proposal that Mr. Marrender made yesterday con- cerning the continued payment of Tracy's so- called pension?"
mdp.39015063938545	Why do n't we tell that to the men who were here?
mdp.39015063938545	Why in thunder had he heard nothing from him since his commission yesterday?
mdp.39015063938545	Why must she explain?
mdp.39015063938545	Why not let it go at that?"
mdp.39015063938545	Why should anyone have desired the death of that helpless, dying old woman?
mdp.39015063938545	Why should you?
mdp.39015063938545	Why was n't she — or he — or both of them — content to wait?
mdp.39015063938545	Why, my lad, do you think for one minute that bird would keep a stone like that in his window?
mdp.39015063938545	Will you promise?"
mdp.39015063938545	Would she get them for him?
mdp.39015063938545	Would the unsavory Jupe, whose forte was clearly not description, report a girl like Janet Wilcox as a stylish blonde?
mdp.39015063938545	Would you like to examine it now?"
mdp.39015063938545	Yet why hurry a matter that through Dr. Stuart she could not fail to know would be consum- mated naturally within a few months of waiting?
mdp.39015063938545	You asked, of course?"
mdp.39015063938545	You ca n't blame me for that, can you?"
mdp.39015063938545	You police have been saying, and we're believing, that Cubbage killed Aunt Genie, but you suspect every member of our family, do n't you?
mdp.39015063938545	You put yourself to bed?
mdp.39015063938545	You were here for the first time late Wednesday afternoon, were n't you?
mdp.39015063938545	You'll come?
mdp.39015063938545	You're going to pin the girl and Tracy down to it, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063938545	You're not that dumb, are you?"
mdp.39015063938545	You're sure it's not your Burden Street dame?"
mdp.39015063938545	but how about your proof?"
mdp.39015063938545	but how could that sort of disappoint- ment have any bearing upon the deaths at Windward Hill?
mdp.39015063938545	but where?
mdp.39015063938545	could she ever forget it?
mdp.39015063938545	did you have any such feelings at that particular moment?"
mdp.39015063938545	my advice was good, was it?"
mdp.39015063938545	the impression created by Cubbage's dead face upon both Tracy and his cousin Sally... a broken length of old chain — what did they prove?
mdp.39015063938545	v An Ally for Asher 47"Is there any way in which I can help you?"
mdp.39015063938545	what had Dexter said about an agreement that would come to light after Miss Marrender's death?
mdp.39015063938545	why?
mdp.39015063938545	yet why had he mentioned a caller at all, and why had her gloves appeared in his coat pocket?
mdp.39015063938545	you read the report, did n't you?
mdp.39015063949187	A fact?
mdp.39015063949187	A gentleman?
mdp.39015063949187	About your trip in that high- powered automo- bile?
mdp.39015063949187	Ah — er — say fifteen dollars?
mdp.39015063949187	And Mrs. De Peyster's trunks, where are they?
mdp.39015063949187	And do n't you think, when mother sees her, she'll say the same?
mdp.39015063949187	And have I not practically arranged a match between you and Ethel Quintard? mdp.39015063949187 And how many are there in our family?"
mdp.39015063949187	And that?
mdp.39015063949187	And the man?
mdp.39015063949187	And then? mdp.39015063949187 And they have clues?"
mdp.39015063949187	And what did I learn? mdp.39015063949187 And what did you do?"
mdp.39015063949187	And whatever is going to happen to us next?
mdp.39015063949187	And where — is he now?
mdp.39015063949187	And who is he?
mdp.39015063949187	And who is that, Matilda?
mdp.39015063949187	And why, if you please?
mdp.39015063949187	And will you fix up the affair of the Jefferson letters?
mdp.39015063949187	And without any food?
mdp.39015063949187	And you gave him the key?
mdp.39015063949187	And you — you took it?
mdp.39015063949187	And you've come to interview Mrs. De Peyster?
mdp.39015063949187	And you, Matilda, who were always my favorite sister, you, too, will stand by me?
mdp.39015063949187	And you, Olivetta, what do you think?
mdp.39015063949187	And your baggage?
mdp.39015063949187	And — and Judge Harvey? mdp.39015063949187 And, pray, who is this?"
mdp.39015063949187	Any idea what it can be, Matilda?
mdp.39015063949187	Any idea, Angelica?
mdp.39015063949187	As — as Thomas Preston?
mdp.39015063949187	At the Cunard pier,"What name did you sail under?
mdp.39015063949187	Besides yourself, what is there to take seri- ously?
mdp.39015063949187	But do n't you realize that this house is one of the most dangerous places in the world for you?
mdp.39015063949187	But that Mrs. De Peyster at the pier — who is she?
mdp.39015063949187	But what are we going to do?
mdp.39015063949187	But what does all this lead to?
mdp.39015063949187	But what is it?
mdp.39015063949187	But what will I do without any company at all?
mdp.39015063949187	But what — what am I to do?
mdp.39015063949187	But where the devil have you been?
mdp.39015063949187	But while you are at it, have you any further suggestions for my conduct?
mdp.39015063949187	But — but how?
mdp.39015063949187	But — but that skidding automobile? mdp.39015063949187 But — but, if you can not afford Europe for yourself, how can you afford it for me?"
mdp.39015063949187	But, Caroline,he began hesitantly,"were n't you perhaps a little too stern with Jack?"
mdp.39015063949187	But, Caroline,pursued the sympathetic Oliv- etta,"ca n't you cut down expenses and remain in town?
mdp.39015063949187	But, Caroline,she cried after a moment,"why not have Judge Harvey get you the money?"
mdp.39015063949187	But, Cousin Caroline, what is it?
mdp.39015063949187	But, ma'am, the money?
mdp.39015063949187	But, ma'am, wo n't that be dangerous?
mdp.39015063949187	Come, Clara: give me a chance to make good —"Will you turn straight?
mdp.39015063949187	Compare them? mdp.39015063949187 Cozy little flat, eh, my dears?"
mdp.39015063949187	Did anyone else belonging to the house see you?
mdp.39015063949187	Did you know his mother was very ill at the time she sailed? mdp.39015063949187 Did you know, ma'am,"Matilda fluttered eagerly,"that Mr. Jack is home?"
mdp.39015063949187	Did — did he say anything?
mdp.39015063949187	Do n't I look in earnest?
mdp.39015063949187	Do n't you think, ma'am, he's trying to make love to you?
mdp.39015063949187	Do you know, mother, that Olivetta would really be an awfully good sort if she only had the right chance?
mdp.39015063949187	Do you mean to say, Judge Harvey, that such a possibility exists?
mdp.39015063949187	Do you realize what it means, Olivetta?
mdp.39015063949187	Do you really — want to — leave me, Jack?
mdp.39015063949187	Er — er — what?
mdp.39015063949187	Even if things do n't go right between mother and me, and even if for a long time I shall be awfully, awfully poor?
mdp.39015063949187	Ever heard of the American Historical Society's collection of recently discovered letters of a gentle- man named Thomas Jefferson?
mdp.39015063949187	Fellow creatures in distress?
mdp.39015063949187	Fired?
mdp.39015063949187	Food?
mdp.39015063949187	Friend,he remarked,"what's you two ladies'game?"
mdp.39015063949187	Go home, ma'am?
mdp.39015063949187	He ai n't the man you want arrested?
mdp.39015063949187	He — ah — er — he's —"And, pray, Matilda, who is this?
mdp.39015063949187	Her married name?
mdp.39015063949187	Here, is that your purse?
mdp.39015063949187	How about the money?
mdp.39015063949187	How are we going to get food in here for them without exciting suspi- cion?
mdp.39015063949187	How are you, Matilda? mdp.39015063949187 How are you, Miss Simpson?"
mdp.39015063949187	How dared you come here?
mdp.39015063949187	How long do you want to stay?
mdp.39015063949187	How many times does this make that you've been over?
mdp.39015063949187	How much d'you want?
mdp.39015063949187	How much would that suite have been?
mdp.39015063949187	How — how do you come here?
mdp.39015063949187	How?
mdp.39015063949187	I believe I have stated the matter just as you outlined it to us?
mdp.39015063949187	I presume it's a newspaper story you're after?
mdp.39015063949187	I refuse to recognize myself as such?
mdp.39015063949187	I trust, sir, that you are really married?
mdp.39015063949187	I wonder, Angelica,she exclaimed des- perately,"who it'll be next?"
mdp.39015063949187	I?
mdp.39015063949187	Is n't he awful Matilda?
mdp.39015063949187	Is n't there some room where nobody will come in?
mdp.39015063949187	Is she your mother?
mdp.39015063949187	Is that all?
mdp.39015063949187	Is there one, ma'am? mdp.39015063949187 Is this the one?"
mdp.39015063949187	Jack,his mother demanded suspiciously,"what was that card?"
mdp.39015063949187	Judge — what the devil are we going to do?
mdp.39015063949187	Ma — Mary?
mdp.39015063949187	Ma'am, shall I let him in?
mdp.39015063949187	Madam, is she your daughter?
mdp.39015063949187	Mary— after a moment of clinging lips —"you think you can really be happy with me?"
mdp.39015063949187	Matilda — what's that?
mdp.39015063949187	Matilda— in awed breathlessness —"is n't this terrible?"
mdp.39015063949187	Matilda, what's this mean?
mdp.39015063949187	Matilda, will you now please have William come in?
mdp.39015063949187	Matilda,breathed Mrs. De Peyster, numbed and awed, still aghast,"did you ever dream there could be such a man?"
mdp.39015063949187	May I inquire what it is you wish, Mr. May fair?'' mdp.39015063949187 May I see the handwriting, please?"
mdp.39015063949187	Might — might I see it?
mdp.39015063949187	Miss Harmon,he whispered rapidly,"did you obey Mrs. De Peyster's instructions on your voyage home?
mdp.39015063949187	More than a possibility?
mdp.39015063949187	Mr. Simpson, I hope you do n't mind this too much?
mdp.39015063949187	No? mdp.39015063949187 No?"
mdp.39015063949187	No?
mdp.39015063949187	Not in earnest, mother? mdp.39015063949187 Now, like you, Angelica,"he mused,"I wonder what the detective party is after; what the lofty Lady De Pey- ster can have been doing that is spicy?
mdp.39015063949187	Of course, Angelica, dear, you're going to stand by me?
mdp.39015063949187	Of course, you identify this as the letter you found?
mdp.39015063949187	Off?
mdp.39015063949187	Oh, come, — you're dodging the police, or why the disguise?
mdp.39015063949187	Olivetta, have you been allowing M. Dubois to pay you any more attention?
mdp.39015063949187	One room or two?
mdp.39015063949187	Our game?
mdp.39015063949187	Pardon me, but — but, Cousin Caroline,put in Olivetta, with eager diffidence,"do n't you think this is different?"
mdp.39015063949187	Perhaps both housekeepers?
mdp.39015063949187	Perhaps you were a lay delegate to the recent Episcopal Convention in New York?
mdp.39015063949187	Remain in town, when everybody is leaving?
mdp.39015063949187	Say, see here — what the dickens is the matter with you?
mdp.39015063949187	See here — wha'd'you mean?
mdp.39015063949187	See here, who the devil are you?
mdp.39015063949187	Seventy- five a month?
mdp.39015063949187	So, now,Jack again propounded,"what the dickens are the five of us going to do?"
mdp.39015063949187	Something else?
mdp.39015063949187	Strike?
mdp.39015063949187	Suggested? mdp.39015063949187 That being the case you may have heard of one Thomas Preston, alleged to be said amanuensis?"
mdp.39015063949187	That? mdp.39015063949187 The name, please?"
mdp.39015063949187	The one who lives in Syracuse?
mdp.39015063949187	The reporters?
mdp.39015063949187	The right chance?
mdp.39015063949187	The servants, are they all gone yet?
mdp.39015063949187	The — the what?
mdp.39015063949187	Then may I inquire to whom young Mr. De Peyster is married?
mdp.39015063949187	Then there really is an authentical Angelica?
mdp.39015063949187	Then where have you been?
mdp.39015063949187	Then why trouble us? mdp.39015063949187 Then, why not borrow the money from the bank, as you say Judge Harvey suggested?"
mdp.39015063949187	There is no detail you would like to add?
mdp.39015063949187	Took it? mdp.39015063949187 Was it written in the bond that I had to kiss you in every room?"
mdp.39015063949187	We?
mdp.39015063949187	We?
mdp.39015063949187	Well, Matilda?
mdp.39015063949187	Well, Miss Gardner, — any trace of my son yet?
mdp.39015063949187	Well, fair ones — ready?
mdp.39015063949187	Well, if a forger is n't a crook, then who is? mdp.39015063949187 Well, now, Matilda,"she prompted,"what do you think of the whole plan?"
mdp.39015063949187	Well, you do n't hesitate to ask, do you?
mdp.39015063949187	Well?
mdp.39015063949187	Were you much hurt?
mdp.39015063949187	Wha — what other one?
mdp.39015063949187	What are we going to do?
mdp.39015063949187	What are you doing with it here?
mdp.39015063949187	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063949187	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063949187	What else can we do?
mdp.39015063949187	What have you been doing?
mdp.39015063949187	What is he?
mdp.39015063949187	What is it, ma'am? mdp.39015063949187 What is it?"
mdp.39015063949187	What is it?
mdp.39015063949187	What more can you want?
mdp.39015063949187	What papers are you boys with?
mdp.39015063949187	What time does the Plutonia sail?
mdp.39015063949187	What time my office opens?
mdp.39015063949187	What — do you think — it means?
mdp.39015063949187	What — what makes you think so?
mdp.39015063949187	What's all this delay about?
mdp.39015063949187	What's that?
mdp.39015063949187	What's that?
mdp.39015063949187	What's that?
mdp.39015063949187	What's that?
mdp.39015063949187	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063949187	What, you defy me?
mdp.39015063949187	Whatever is he going to do next?
mdp.39015063949187	When did he come?
mdp.39015063949187	When would you want to come in?
mdp.39015063949187	Where have you put your head, Matilda? mdp.39015063949187 Where is he?"
mdp.39015063949187	Where is it?
mdp.39015063949187	Who am I? mdp.39015063949187 Who are you?"
mdp.39015063949187	Who are you?
mdp.39015063949187	Who else did you suppose it was? mdp.39015063949187 Who is it?"
mdp.39015063949187	Who — who are you?
mdp.39015063949187	Who — who's that?
mdp.39015063949187	Who'are you?
mdp.39015063949187	Who's that?
mdp.39015063949187	Who's that?
mdp.39015063949187	Who's that?
mdp.39015063949187	Who's this man, Matilda?
mdp.39015063949187	Why not? mdp.39015063949187 Why you're here?"
mdp.39015063949187	Why, Cousin Caroline, what is it about Jack?
mdp.39015063949187	Why, what could Mrs. Allistair want it for?
mdp.39015063949187	Why, what's the matter with your voice? mdp.39015063949187 Why, what's the matter, Cousin Caroline?"
mdp.39015063949187	Why?
mdp.39015063949187	William,she cried bewildered,"what is it?"
mdp.39015063949187	Wo n't have to? mdp.39015063949187 Wo n't she do?"
mdp.39015063949187	Wo n't you ever take anything seriously?
mdp.39015063949187	Wo n't you stay, Jack?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes — but what of it?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes — but, ma'am, how am I to explain your sudden disappearance?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes — if?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes, what are we going to do?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes, what's the matter, Matilda?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes?
mdp.39015063949187	You are still pleased with Miss Gardner?
mdp.39015063949187	You have Mr. Jack's trunks packed?
mdp.39015063949187	You have an idea, Caroline?
mdp.39015063949187	You have been listening all the while?
mdp.39015063949187	You have — have told the police?
mdp.39015063949187	You mean the cottage Mrs. Van der Grift had last season?
mdp.39015063949187	You mean you do n't trust me?
mdp.39015063949187	You mean?
mdp.39015063949187	You paid the servants board wages as I in- structed, and made clear to them about coming to Newport when I send orders?
mdp.39015063949187	You really mean that you are not going to add a few thousand more to my hundred thousands'worth of education?
mdp.39015063949187	You swear?
mdp.39015063949187	You understand this perfectly?
mdp.39015063949187	You — you mean that I am to pass for you?
mdp.39015063949187	You're not — not married?
mdp.39015063949187	You've worked — you've worked — at what?
mdp.39015063949187	Young man, have you considered the social disgrace you are plunging us all into? mdp.39015063949187 Your sympathy to my mother?"
mdp.39015063949187	Yours?
mdp.39015063949187	''Then"— in the same polite tone —''if you know it all, why do n't you print it?"
mdp.39015063949187	'What could I do?'

mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE house?
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE in?"
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE name, — could I induce you to enter my employ- ment — at, say, twenty dollars a minute?"
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE please, ma'am, did you happen to bring your purse?"
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE she treated that Miss Gardner; and would n't she have done the same to us, if she'd found us out?
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE"Different?"
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE"Is what he says O.K., Judge?"
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE"Well?
mdp.39015063949187	13 WASHINGTON SQUARE"What's the matter with your hands?"

mdp.39015063949187	248 N?
mdp.39015063949187	About keeping to your stateroom — about keeping yourself veiled, and all the rest?"
mdp.39015063949187	After all, was it possible that he had n't recognized her as Mrs. De Peyster?
mdp.39015063949187	After that —?
mdp.39015063949187	Allistair?"
mdp.39015063949187	Allistair?"
mdp.39015063949187	Alone, Mrs. De Peyster pond- ered her poignant problem, What should she do?
mdp.39015063949187	An'did n't we see two women come in this house, — hey, Bill?"
mdp.39015063949187	And again this morning — in the'Record'— did you see it?"
mdp.39015063949187	And had any one ever before lived in such a cell?
mdp.39015063949187	And how many little nieces and nephews am I the happy uncle of?"
mdp.39015063949187	And our parents?"
mdp.39015063949187	And the terms?"
mdp.39015063949187	And then after a moment, she added quaveringly:"But please, ma'am, — how are we going to do it?"
mdp.39015063949187	And then again, what would they do without our best society?"
mdp.39015063949187	And then in affectionate concern, noticing his hands:"Nothing serious, I hope?"
mdp.39015063949187	And then:"But — but where?"
mdp.39015063949187	And where was I born, Matilda?"
mdp.39015063949187	But before I state the way, I must ask you, Olivetta, if any one saw you come in?"
mdp.39015063949187	But if he had n't recognized her, then what was he driv- ing at?
mdp.39015063949187	But in real- ity —""Yes, in reality?"
mdp.39015063949187	But say, what's the matter, Ma- tilda?"
mdp.39015063949187	But what do they want to arrest you for?"
mdp.39015063949187	But what will you eat?"
mdp.39015063949187	But where might I have been born?"
mdp.39015063949187	But who is he — what's his family — his financial affiliations?"
mdp.39015063949187	But whom?"
mdp.39015063949187	But why,"ended Olivetta with a spiteful burst, —"why could n't she have amused herself in her own clothes?
mdp.39015063949187	But you, Caroline?"
mdp.39015063949187	But, of course,"— apologetic- ally, —"you could hardly expect me to give up a rich thing like this, could you?"
mdp.39015063949187	Ca n't you think of some way out of it?
mdp.39015063949187	Can you identify her?"
mdp.39015063949187	Could I have a word with you outside?"
mdp.39015063949187	D'you get me?
mdp.39015063949187	Do I not allow you all the money you want?"
mdp.39015063949187	Do n't you know you are this moment standing on a volcano?"
mdp.39015063949187	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015063949187	Do n't you think Europe might be willing to overlook my negligence — just this once?"
mdp.39015063949187	Do n't you think she'll do?"
mdp.39015063949187	Do you get me?"
mdp.39015063949187	Do you think she ever will be?"
mdp.39015063949187	For it was a big surprise, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063949187	For your black chiffon, and your silver satin, and your spangled net —""But this person they took for me?"
mdp.39015063949187	From behind the detective's broad back he gave Matilda a warning look; then said softly:"Of course, it's the letter, is n't it, sister?"
mdp.39015063949187	Has n't Matilda told you?"
mdp.39015063949187	Has the fact occurred to you"— very sol- emnly —''that you have n't kissed me since we have been in this room?"
mdp.39015063949187	Has — has anything happened to him?"
mdp.39015063949187	Have n't I met you somewhere?"
mdp.39015063949187	Hear those steps?
mdp.39015063949187	Housebreakers — sneak thieves — confidence game?"
mdp.39015063949187	How about it?"
mdp.39015063949187	How had she come here?
mdp.39015063949187	How will you get around that?
mdp.39015063949187	How?"
mdp.39015063949187	In what way can I serve you?"
mdp.39015063949187	Jack — you're not in earnest?"
mdp.39015063949187	Married or single?"
mdp.39015063949187	Matilda, you could do that, could n't you — just casually?"
mdp.39015063949187	Miss Thompson, may I beg the favor of a few minutes with you alone?"
mdp.39015063949187	Not at all bad, is it?"
mdp.39015063949187	Not that — that Mary Morgan?"
mdp.39015063949187	Now the deposit — how much can you pay?"
mdp.39015063949187	Oh, ma'— Angelica —""Mr. Pyecroft, what does this mean?"
mdp.39015063949187	Or was she to be starved out?
mdp.39015063949187	Recently there has been — may I call it a recrudescence?
mdp.39015063949187	Says I to Mary,'Mary, since mother is away, and this big house is empty except for you, Matilda, why pay rent?'
mdp.39015063949187	Shall we be seated?"
mdp.39015063949187	Should they flee again?
mdp.39015063949187	Something had to be done, quick — but what?
mdp.39015063949187	Suppose Jack and Mary should find out?
mdp.39015063949187	Suppose Judge Harvey should find out?
mdp.39015063949187	Suppose Pyecroft should find out?
mdp.39015063949187	That's about the size of it, is n't it, friends?"
mdp.39015063949187	That's it, is n't it, Judge?"
mdp.39015063949187	The business of those forged letters of Thomas Jefferson, do you think I can stand for that?"
mdp.39015063949187	Then in a husky frightened whisper:"How did you get in here?"
mdp.39015063949187	Then — then — my income?"
mdp.39015063949187	Those hands?"
mdp.39015063949187	To be explicit, like Mrs. De Peyster?"
mdp.39015063949187	To begin with, might I in- quire what our name is?
mdp.39015063949187	To the chauffeur's"Where to, ladies?"
mdp.39015063949187	Under- stand?"
mdp.39015063949187	Understand?
mdp.39015063949187	Want me to do that — eh?
mdp.39015063949187	Well?"
mdp.39015063949187	What about?
mdp.39015063949187	What are the bulls after you for?"
mdp.39015063949187	What are you?
mdp.39015063949187	What could it possibly, possibly, mean?
mdp.39015063949187	What did it mean?
mdp.39015063949187	What did you do?"
mdp.39015063949187	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063949187	What is it?"
mdp.39015063949187	What should they do?
mdp.39015063949187	What was he going to do?
mdp.39015063949187	What was he here for?
mdp.39015063949187	What was in this clergyman's mind?
mdp.39015063949187	What was it?
mdp.39015063949187	What was she ever to do?
mdp.39015063949187	What would happen when they came face to face?
mdp.39015063949187	What would our best society do without them?
mdp.39015063949187	What's that you're carrying?"
mdp.39015063949187	What's your rag?"
mdp.39015063949187	When will he be here?"
mdp.39015063949187	Where's the other one?"
mdp.39015063949187	Who is she?"
mdp.39015063949187	Who was the man?
mdp.39015063949187	Who's her father?"
mdp.39015063949187	Why not, as I have al- ready suggested, print it?"
mdp.39015063949187	Will she, or wo n't she?"
mdp.39015063949187	Will you either confirm or deny the report?''
mdp.39015063949187	Will you please inform the lieutenant whether I am the man you wish to have arrested?"
mdp.39015063949187	Wo n't we, Matilda?"
mdp.39015063949187	Wo n't you — there's a dear?"
mdp.39015063949187	Would Matilda have the sense to think of this, and if so would she have the adroitness to smuggle edibles in to her unnoticed?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes, how were they going to do it?
mdp.39015063949187	Yes, what else could they do?
mdp.39015063949187	You and your friend are working- women?"
mdp.39015063949187	You are her brother, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063949187	You are — ah"— his tone was delicate —"evading the police?"
mdp.39015063949187	You would n't mind helping us a bit, Ma- tilda?"
mdp.39015063949187	You've spent — how much have you spent on my education, mother?
mdp.39015063949187	said the officer; and then in a low voice apart to the other:"Lucky we did n't go no further — hey, Bill?"
mdp.39015063949187	{ Now, how large returns do you suppose I can draw on that investment?"
mdp.39015063949187	— and how?
mdp.39015063949187	— and what good would flight do them, especially since Mr. Pyecroft might once more follow?
mdp.39015063949187	— and where?
mdp.39015063949187	—"What do you think of our honeymoon?"
mdp.39015063949187	■"Matilda,"spoke up Jack,"have you got supper things started yet in the kitchen?"
mdp.39015063551280	A flying visit?
mdp.39015063551280	A slim young lady, fair or dark?
mdp.39015063551280	About ten to half past?
mdp.39015063551280	Among those enemies, known or unknown, do you think there is a man who lacks a thumb?
mdp.39015063551280	And Foster saw red paint on the coat of the old lady who called for that letter to- day?
mdp.39015063551280	And after you saw this gentleman get on a bus, what did you do?
mdp.39015063551280	And how long did this journey up and down stairs take?
mdp.39015063551280	And keep your mouth shut?
mdp.39015063551280	And may I suggest, Inspector, that three a.m. is the time limit for this interview? mdp.39015063551280 And the program girl knew her name?"
mdp.39015063551280	And then?
mdp.39015063551280	And what made you notice him — a stranger — particularly?
mdp.39015063551280	And where is this hotel of yours?
mdp.39015063551280	And you could n't distinguish a word they said?
mdp.39015063551280	And you mean to say that Miss Laureen calmly motored away knowing her friend had been shot?
mdp.39015063551280	And you replied?
mdp.39015063551280	Any idea where they are going? ” Jenkins de- manded. mdp.39015063551280 Any of your mistress's friends called by that name?"
mdp.39015063551280	Any one likely to be in Laureen's flat if I ring up?
mdp.39015063551280	Any visitors?
mdp.39015063551280	Anything else you can remember?
mdp.39015063551280	Are you English?
mdp.39015063551280	Are you asking a question or stating a fact, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551280	Are you reserving your statement, Lady Avice, because it involves some one else? mdp.39015063551280 Are you sure that brute did n't hurt you?"
mdp.39015063551280	Avice,she gasped,"who murdered Leslie?
mdp.39015063551280	Boat train, ma'am?
mdp.39015063551280	Boxes full?
mdp.39015063551280	But they ca n't suspect —?
mdp.39015063551280	But where is she now?
mdp.39015063551280	By taxi, or your own car?
mdp.39015063551280	By the way, Miss Laureen, I meant to ask you before, have you any family living?
mdp.39015063551280	Ca n't I have a cigarette?
mdp.39015063551280	Can you describe this old lady's appearance?
mdp.39015063551280	Can you dine with me to- night, Doctor? mdp.39015063551280 Can you drink a cup of tea?"
mdp.39015063551280	Can you remember when those calls were made?
mdp.39015063551280	Can you tell me anything about this man?
mdp.39015063551280	Can you translate it? mdp.39015063551280 Can you, Bertha?
mdp.39015063551280	Could there be any document of yours in the envelop the mysterious woman brought you to take care of and reclaimed recently?

mdp.39015063551280	Even though you protect a criminal by your silence, Lady Warnham?
mdp.39015063551280	Ever heard Miss Gilbert's voice since?
mdp.39015063551280	Ever seen that man before? ” he asked, swiftly putting the print before her. mdp.39015063551280 Excuse me, miss, but have I 54 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY got to reply to all these questions?
mdp.39015063551280	First of all, where were you and Lady Warn- ham on the night of the murder, Lady Avice?
mdp.39015063551280	Fixed up that seat?
mdp.39015063551280	Found out her name and address yet?
mdp.39015063551280	Gone abroad?
mdp.39015063551280	Got a new job, Lily, eh? mdp.39015063551280 Got any idea when Tom will be back, Agnes?"

mdp.39015063551280	Has anything been stolen?
mdp.39015063551280	Have there been burglars here?
mdp.39015063551280	Have we got the knife that was used?
mdp.39015063551280	Have you a key?
mdp.39015063551280	Have you a matinee this afternoon, Miss Lau- reen?

mdp.39015063551280	Have you suddenly become so completely artistic that you must sleep in your studio?
mdp.39015063551280	He never mentioned the subject again?
mdp.39015063551280	Hear anything, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063551280	Hear anything? mdp.39015063551280 Hello, Inspector,"Lansberg greeted,"are you here to see the show or do you want me for any- thing?"
mdp.39015063551280	His hands — did you see them?
mdp.39015063551280	Hospital? mdp.39015063551280 How about this Mrs. Carter?
mdp.39015063551280	How can I tell when I did n't see him?
mdp.39015063551280	How could she? mdp.39015063551280 How could there be?"
mdp.39015063551280	How did you guess her age then?
mdp.39015063551280	How do you know it was the servant? mdp.39015063551280 How do you know?"
mdp.39015063551280	How do you spell it?
mdp.39015063551280	How far is the pillar- box from here?
mdp.39015063551280	How is Lady Avice, Mason? ” Laureen asked anxiously. mdp.39015063551280 How is she now?"
mdp.39015063551280	How long had he lodged at your house?
mdp.39015063551280	How long have you and your wife acted as care- takers of this house?
mdp.39015063551280	How many keys are there to this flat?
mdp.39015063551280	I could n't tell, sir, unless she had been seen in them?
mdp.39015063551280	I say, we are making hay of my bye- byes, are n't we?
mdp.39015063551280	I suppose a sudden shock like that, following a series of unusual happenings at one o'clock in the morning, would unnerve any woman, Doctor?
mdp.39015063551280	I suppose the hall porter or waiters at your club can confirm that statement?
mdp.39015063551280	I suppose you wish to know when you can see Lady Avice?
mdp.39015063551280	If Bertha leaves the stopper out of the speaking- tube is that my fault? mdp.39015063551280 If I blow down the thing, will Mrs. Carter answer?"
mdp.39015063551280	If you're so happy here, why go back?
mdp.39015063551280	If your maid comes, where is she likely to go first when she ar- rives, madam?
mdp.39015063551280	Ind when did you leave those friends? ” asked Reynolds as if the matter had lost interest for him. mdp.39015063551280 Inspector,"asked Laureen from the doorway,"can my maid pack up some of our clothes and re- move them to St. Andrew's Hotel near by?
mdp.39015063551280	Is Marjorie Laureen your real or stage name?
mdp.39015063551280	Is Mr. Spencer there?
mdp.39015063551280	Is anything wrong?
mdp.39015063551280	Is it a conundrum?
mdp.39015063551280	Is it necessary to waste Mr. Lansberg's morning listening to these trivial questions? mdp.39015063551280 Is n't it an exit door?"
mdp.39015063551280	Is n't it?
mdp.39015063551280	Is n't the man up yet?
mdp.39015063551280	Is she conscious yet, nurse?
mdp.39015063551280	Is she hurt? ”I do n't know.
mdp.39015063551280	Is that Warnham House? mdp.39015063551280 Is that door locked at night?"
mdp.39015063551280	Is that so?
mdp.39015063551280	Is that what began the quarrel?
mdp.39015063551280	Is there any more about that Beresford Street flat murder? mdp.39015063551280 Jealous?
mdp.39015063551280	Lady Avice Garth not turned up at her house?
mdp.39015063551280	Lady Avice Garth?
mdp.39015063551280	Lady Warnham and Lady Avice Garth?
mdp.39015063551280	Lady Warnham, where is Tony?
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg? mdp.39015063551280 Like Smith?"
mdp.39015063551280	Like to help me in a joke, Minnis?
mdp.39015063551280	Like?
mdp.39015063551280	Made you a bit late in getting to Clapham, did n't it?
mdp.39015063551280	Many letters there this morning?
mdp.39015063551280	Mar- jorie Laureen; age — well, shall we say twenty- five? mdp.39015063551280 May I ask for the name of the other person interested in your family history?"
mdp.39015063551280	May I come in?
mdp.39015063551280	May I fetch you in an hour?
mdp.39015063551280	May I interrupt, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551280	Me, sir? mdp.39015063551280 Might we have that unpleasantness removed, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063551280	Monsieur, may/ try to go in? mdp.39015063551280 Mrs. de Groot, where is Lady Avice?"
mdp.39015063551280	No fresh details about the post- mortem on Leslie Delmond, I suppose, Doc- tor?
mdp.39015063551280	No idea where you lost it?
mdp.39015063551280	No recent letters from Delmond?
mdp.39015063551280	No?
mdp.39015063551280	None you noticed a bit different in any way?
mdp.39015063551280	Not here?
mdp.39015063551280	Nothing more?
mdp.39015063551280	Now did n't I say you had a smart brain, Carter? mdp.39015063551280 Now who were those people who were here talking?"
mdp.39015063551280	Of course you've heard about Lady Avice?
mdp.39015063551280	Oh, been going out more in the evenings lately, has she?
mdp.39015063551280	Please, sir,she clasped her hands nervously, her eyes swimming with tears,"do you think I might have a photo of my friend?
mdp.39015063551280	Possibly you heard the lady's remark, officer?
mdp.39015063551280	Post- box?
mdp.39015063551280	Queer?
mdp.39015063551280	Quick, tell me,Reynolds demanded of Pierre,"have you found out anything?"
mdp.39015063551280	Quite the little gen- tleman, is n't he?
mdp.39015063551280	Search it?
mdp.39015063551280	Seen a man just go out?
mdp.39015063551280	Seen any one go out?
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I get out and walk past the house?
mdp.39015063551280	She will, of course, be able to identify the deceased?
mdp.39015063551280	Shure and could n't you do your work when he goes out?
mdp.39015063551280	So Spencer's keen on this girl, is he?
mdp.39015063551280	So he's been leaning against your door all the time, has he?
mdp.39015063551280	So this is your flat?
mdp.39015063551280	Sounds like the same woman, eh?
mdp.39015063551280	Speaking- tube?
mdp.39015063551280	Suicide?
mdp.39015063551280	Suspect me? mdp.39015063551280 Tell Inspector Reynolds about Delmond, will you?"
mdp.39015063551280	That occupies all her time?
mdp.39015063551280	That phrase about your possibly not returning and the maid to sleep out — what did it mean?
mdp.39015063551280	That you, Agnes? mdp.39015063551280 That you, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063551280	The lady was alarmed?
mdp.39015063551280	Then, Mrs. de Groot, if Leslie Delmond was never Lady Avice Garth's friend, will you tell me why she wrote him a letter just before he was murdered?
mdp.39015063551280	There was a call at eight thirty p. M., was n't there?
mdp.39015063551280	They remained in the restaurant when I came away. ”Where did you go then?"
mdp.39015063551280	They would n't make a row, would they? mdp.39015063551280 Tony?"
mdp.39015063551280	Two calls?
mdp.39015063551280	Was Mrs. de Groot, an American lady, by any chance staying in your hotel?
mdp.39015063551280	Was anything missing?
mdp.39015063551280	Was her ladyship alone when she arrived? mdp.39015063551280 Was it her maid's voice that you heard?"
mdp.39015063551280	Was the handwriting large or small?
mdp.39015063551280	Was the lock of the flat broken or the door open when you ar- rived?
mdp.39015063551280	Was the writing anything like this, Carter?
mdp.39015063551280	We should be glad to have all our witnesses as in- telligent, eh?
mdp.39015063551280	Wearing that dress?
mdp.39015063551280	Well now, is n't that what I've come from Paris for? mdp.39015063551280 Well, Jenkins, get my cables?
mdp.39015063551280	Well, did n't you?
mdp.39015063551280	Well, what of it?
mdp.39015063551280	Well, who could possibly have wanted to hurt Avice?
mdp.39015063551280	Well, you sorted the letters? ” prompted the in- spector. mdp.39015063551280 Well?"
mdp.39015063551280	Well?
mdp.39015063551280	Were Laureen and Delmond very friendly? ” he asked. mdp.39015063551280 Were you alone?
mdp.39015063551280	What about meals?
mdp.39015063551280	What about those cabled orders I sent to watch the ports?
mdp.39015063551280	What are you worried about?
mdp.39015063551280	What are your hours there?
mdp.39015063551280	What business had you got listening at the doors of flats at night? ” demanded Carter. mdp.39015063551280 What calls went through on Sunday?"

mdp.39015063551280	What d'you want?
mdp.39015063551280	What did she do for a living?
mdp.39015063551280	What did this girl wear? mdp.39015063551280 What do the papers say about her?"
mdp.39015063551280	What do you make of it, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551280	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063551280	What does this mean, Inspector?
mdp.39015063551280	What does this mean, your — Lady Warnham?

mdp.39015063551280	When did you become Miss Laureen's maid?
mdp.39015063551280	When you read this message,he said,"you had no idea there had been a tragedy?"
mdp.39015063551280	Where and when did you see this gentleman and by what name do you know him?
mdp.39015063551280	Where are the English papers? ” demanded her 146 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY mistress, turning over a pile of journals beside her. mdp.39015063551280 Where did you hear him do it?"

mdp.39015063551280	Who is this Miss Gilbert who telephoned?
mdp.39015063551280	Who keeps the key?
mdp.39015063551280	Who sent the telegram you received early on Tuesday morning immediately before you rushed off to Paris?
mdp.39015063551280	Who was he?
mdp.39015063551280	Who? mdp.39015063551280 Whois she?"
mdp.39015063551280	Why did n't you bring him along?
mdp.39015063551280	Why did n't you call in the police?
mdp.39015063551280	Why do you ask that?
mdp.39015063551280	Why do you ask?
mdp.39015063551280	Why not?
mdp.39015063551280	Why should she be? mdp.39015063551280 Why should you recollect that so clearly?"
mdp.39015063551280	Why,he asked,"did you run downstairs to whistle for the policeman?
mdp.39015063551280	Why?
mdp.39015063551280	Will they ask me that?
mdp.39015063551280	Will you play to- night, Laureen?
mdp.39015063551280	Will you please come here and talk to me in an angry manner?
mdp.39015063551280	Will you smoke?
mdp.39015063551280	Will you tell me about it?
mdp.39015063551280	Will you tell me all the conversation that took place?
mdp.39015063551280	Will you tell me one thing, please, that may help me very much? mdp.39015063551280 Will your ladyship be seated?"
mdp.39015063551280	With whom?
mdp.39015063551280	Wot's all this about?
mdp.39015063551280	Wrote him a letter?
mdp.39015063551280	You are English?
mdp.39015063551280	You are sure you locked the safe before going out?
mdp.39015063551280	You did n't think of coming up to see who those men were in Miss Laureen's flat when you knew she and her maid were out? mdp.39015063551280 You did not change your shirt at your flat?"
mdp.39015063551280	You did not return to the flat again until you came here with Mr. Lansberg at one twelve A.M.?
mdp.39015063551280	You do n't know her name and address?
mdp.39015063551280	You got your slippers in time, miss?
mdp.39015063551280	You had no reason to pass through Beresford Street and call at Miss Laureen's flat during that walk?
mdp.39015063551280	You had the telegram I sent to- you as well as the one to Mrs. de Groot, Therese?
mdp.39015063551280	You have proof of that, sir?
mdp.39015063551280	You know this lady well?
mdp.39015063551280	You left the Grill Room at what time?
mdp.39015063551280	You live here alone?
mdp.39015063551280	You mean you do n't know him personally, or that you've never seen him in this flat before?
mdp.39015063551280	You mean —?
mdp.39015063551280	You raised no objection to their friendship?
mdp.39015063551280	You signed the medical certificate I received this morning, Doctor?
mdp.39015063551280	You sleep here?
mdp.39015063551280	You swear you never saw this gentleman be- fore?
mdp.39015063551280	You walked downstairs?
mdp.39015063551280	You were angry?
mdp.39015063551280	You were in charge here?
mdp.39015063551280	You were wearing this when you were walking?
mdp.39015063551280	You would like the fingerprints of Lansberg's servant, sir?
mdp.39015063551280	You'll stay here or come with me?
mdp.39015063551280	You're having Laureen watched?
mdp.39015063551280	You're quite sure it was the same voice that first spoke from Piccadilly and then spoke from Miss Laureen's flat?
mdp.39015063551280	You're sure she was elderly?
mdp.39015063551280	You've seen all vou want to in there, I suppose?
mdp.39015063551280	'They'being a young man, I suppose? ” The maid reddened, showed signs of losing her temper.
mdp.39015063551280	230 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY Was the man demented?
mdp.39015063551280	256 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY"How long after Miss Laureen's departure was the shot fired?"
mdp.39015063551280	324 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY"He probably thought he had killed me? ” said Reynolds, watching Lansberg's face.
mdp.39015063551280	352 A CONFESSION 353"How and where did you first meet Miss Lau- reen?"
mdp.39015063551280	38 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY"I suggest you called somewhere in the interval — at your flat for instance, madam?"
mdp.39015063551280	78 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY"Have you been wearing any of those black satin shoes lately, madam?"
mdp.39015063551280	96 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY"Many people dining there?"
mdp.39015063551280	Abbreviated, that would be Tony, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063551280	Aloud he demanded swiftly,"Whose fingerprints were on the handle of that knife?"
mdp.39015063551280	Also, in that case, where did Tony and Spencer, Lady Avice and Mrs. de Groot fit in?
mdp.39015063551280	Am I disturbing you?"
mdp.39015063551280	And I suppose, as her pals, we're all more or less suspected until we can prove our innocence, what?"
mdp.39015063551280	And all she saw was Lady Avice stagger into the dining- room. ” “ Who closed the front door behind Lady Avice as she came in from the street?"
mdp.39015063551280	And how could she steal away from this place where for her lurked that ghastly fear of detection, of arrest, of a possible trial for murder?
mdp.39015063551280	And if she could prove it, would not the very publicity tell that other man she so feared where she could be found?
mdp.39015063551280	And the knife in the safe which was later used to stab his brother?
mdp.39015063551280	And what makes you think he'll make a third attempt on your life?
mdp.39015063551280	And what was inside that packet he was half afraid to open?
mdp.39015063551280	And where on earth is Bertha?"
mdp.39015063551280	And who was the man with the missing thumb who had un- doubtedly been in Laureen's flat, as his fingerprints on the table proved?
mdp.39015063551280	And who was the woman who had intrusted something to Lansberg's care years ago and had claimed it recently?
mdp.39015063551280	And you, madam?"
mdp.39015063551280	Any friend you wanted to see? ” questioned Reyn- olds casually.
mdp.39015063551280	Any women friends?"
mdp.39015063551280	Anybody else coming?"
mdp.39015063551280	Anything peculiar about this woman's voice over the telephone?
mdp.39015063551280	Are there any preliminary questions you'd like to ask me?"
mdp.39015063551280	Are you ill?"
mdp.39015063551280	Are you mar- ried?"
mdp.39015063551280	At what time did you leave the flat this evening, madam?"
mdp.39015063551280	Besides, how would they know my house address?
mdp.39015063551280	But was it all as straightforward as it appeared to be?
mdp.39015063551280	Can I get you anything?"
mdp.39015063551280	Can I go in the other room now and answer the rest of your questions there?"
mdp.39015063551280	Can you keep his name out of it if I tell you?"
mdp.39015063551280	Carter?"
mdp.39015063551280	Carter?"
mdp.39015063551280	Carter?"
mdp.39015063551280	Continuing to speak French fluently but with a harsh accent, Reynolds asked the man:"You have been many years with your master?"
mdp.39015063551280	Could he have had a heart attack or a seizure?
mdp.39015063551280	Could it have been Valerie?
mdp.39015063551280	Could this only be Tues- day morning?
mdp.39015063551280	Could you recognize it?"
mdp.39015063551280	D'you understand?"
mdp.39015063551280	Darling, ca n't you think it over?
mdp.39015063551280	Dick Spencer dashing off to Paris like that?
mdp.39015063551280	Did they know his address?"
mdp.39015063551280	Did they observe anything unusual in her manner?"
mdp.39015063551280	Did you ever hear of anything so idiotic as bringing me a pair of slippers I'd never asked for?"
mdp.39015063551280	Did you say I hoped he'd enjoyed his lunch, Minnis?"
mdp.39015063551280	Did you sleep, Ber- tha?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you know where he is in Paris?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you know where she is, sir?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you know who could have sent that extraordinary telephone message?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you make tea or shall I ring for it?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you remember the time?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you think it was for London?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you think they've seen us following, monsieur?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you under- stand English?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you want to know any more?"
mdp.39015063551280	Do you wish me to appear in this dress, or am I allowed to go to my room now for some more suit- able garments?"
mdp.39015063551280	Eight o'clock at the club?"
mdp.39015063551280	First, did you know this man?"
mdp.39015063551280	From the window she watched the shadow unfold the visiting card and read the message: Why not come in and have luncheon?
mdp.39015063551280	From whom had he taken it and when?
mdp.39015063551280	Good show, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063551280	Got back here at five this morning, did n't I? ”"Half past five, madame,"corrected the maid.
mdp.39015063551280	Had a good night?"
mdp.39015063551280	Had any luck any- where?"
mdp.39015063551280	Had he read the news of the murder in the papers before he left?
mdp.39015063551280	Had one of those giddy chorus- girls been up to something?
mdp.39015063551280	Had that wretched inspector spent an hour looking over her correspondence first?
mdp.39015063551280	Had the searcher of last night found what he wanted there?
mdp.39015063551280	Had them examined? ” he asked Jenkins.
mdp.39015063551280	Had there been a burglary?
mdp.39015063551280	Had they discovered it in the hospital when they searched her things?
mdp.39015063551280	Had you any valuable papers or docu- ments?"
mdp.39015063551280	Have I any idea?
mdp.39015063551280	Have you any idea where he is?
mdp.39015063551280	Have you any relatives or friends near?
mdp.39015063551280	Have you any whisky?"
mdp.39015063551280	Have you as yet learned of the precise cause of death?"
mdp.39015063551280	Have you dined?"
mdp.39015063551280	Have you ever heard her voice before or seen her?"
mdp.39015063551280	Have you found him?
mdp.39015063551280	He and Laureen quarreled bit- terly about it. ”"Maybe Laureen was jealous?"
mdp.39015063551280	He came down at once but I could n't hear what was said except I think he replied,'Oh, you've nothing to add to your letter, eh?
mdp.39015063551280	Hornett?"
mdp.39015063551280	Hornett?"
mdp.39015063551280	How can I work?
mdp.39015063551280	How could Bertha have known of it?"
mdp.39015063551280	How could she have thought of deserting Laureen in such a crisis?
mdp.39015063551280	How could the sender of that telephone message know your mistress had such a pair?"
mdp.39015063551280	How did Tony Spencer hear of this jew- eler?"
mdp.39015063551280	How did you get here?"
mdp.39015063551280	How had that knife come to be in Lansberg's safe?
mdp.39015063551280	How much did he know?
mdp.39015063551280	How soon would she be strong enough to stand?
mdp.39015063551280	How's George behaving himself?"
mdp.39015063551280	I hope the lady is all right?"
mdp.39015063551280	I mean, were there any serv- ants in the hall or dining- room?"
mdp.39015063551280	I say, Agnes, what's he gone to France about? ” Mrs. Reynolds looked important.
mdp.39015063551280	I say, Doctor, what do you know about that man?"
mdp.39015063551280	I say, Inspector, do I sleep on a box- spring mattress or a plank at Pentonville or wherever you propose to dump me?"
mdp.39015063551280	I suppose it's too much to hope for that you noticed any part of the address?"
mdp.39015063551280	I think possibly he may be in his old rooms in — What was that?"
mdp.39015063551280	If any one entered by the hall door and came up here by lift or stairs, need they pass near the post- box?"
mdp.39015063551280	If she works here daily how is it she has n't turned up this morning?"
mdp.39015063551280	If so, where was it all going to end?
mdp.39015063551280	If so, who fired it?
mdp.39015063551280	If so, whose?
mdp.39015063551280	Is it Victoria or Charing Cross it starts from?
mdp.39015063551280	Is there any hope?"
mdp.39015063551280	Is there anything else?"
mdp.39015063551280	It took you two days to decide whether you recognized it or not, eh?"
mdp.39015063551280	Just what duties have you here?"
mdp.39015063551280	LADY AVICE EXPLAINS 333"The packet?"
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg?"
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg?"
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg?"
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg?"
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg?"
mdp.39015063551280	Lansberg?"
mdp.39015063551280	Luggage?"
mdp.39015063551280	M.?"
mdp.39015063551280	M.?"
mdp.39015063551280	May I smoke, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063551280	May I take your wrap?"
mdp.39015063551280	May I telephone Avice and ask her to come?
mdp.39015063551280	May I use your telephone, Lady Warnham?"
mdp.39015063551280	Nothing fresh there?"
mdp.39015063551280	Nothing has been touched, of course?"
mdp.39015063551280	Now tell me why you did n't come up here as usual this morning?"
mdp.39015063551280	Of what?
mdp.39015063551280	Oh, Bill?
mdp.39015063551280	Oh, by the way, do you happen to know what Delmond's turn con- sisted of?"
mdp.39015063551280	Or had he not needed the newspapers to tell him that news?
mdp.39015063551280	Or should he to- night follow Mrs. de Groot, Lady Avice and the man — probably Spencer?
mdp.39015063551280	Or was it even the next day?
mdp.39015063551280	Or was it sealed before?"
mdp.39015063551280	Overstrung to the breaking- point, was she?
mdp.39015063551280	Reynolds 88 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY gave him a rapid summary of the facts up to date and then asked:"Found that telephone clerk yet, Jenkins?"
mdp.39015063551280	Reynolds heard her whisper,"What are we to do, Avice?"
mdp.39015063551280	Reynolds was taken aback by Lansberg's obvious 280 282 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY"You did not know him?"
mdp.39015063551280	Reynolds's eyes glinted with excitement, but he asked casually:"Did she give her name?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I bring the telephone in?
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I consult my lawyer?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I do so?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I look up Lady Avice's pedigree?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I pay in ad- vance?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I ring up and ask?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall I tell Minnis to order tea for you?"
mdp.39015063551280	Shall we call it a day and go to our respective stables?
mdp.39015063551280	Shall we chance our reputations and go in?"
mdp.39015063551280	She heard Lansberg open the outer door, heard the policeman's"Anything wrong, sir?
mdp.39015063551280	She was?
mdp.39015063551280	Should he wait until Mrs. de Groot's guest ar- rived, then boldly knock at their door and demand an interview?
mdp.39015063551280	Spencer?"
mdp.39015063551280	THE DRAMA OPENS 9"Exactly, but who sent them?"
mdp.39015063551280	THE LINGERING SHADOW 345 “ Who was arrested with Tony Spencer? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063551280	TIGHTENING THE NET 273"What?
mdp.39015063551280	TIGHTENING THE NET 279"Nor reason to suspect his fight? ” Reynolds's voice had a clearer, harder tone now.
mdp.39015063551280	Tempest?"
mdp.39015063551280	That shot, might it not equally well have been intended for Laureen?
mdp.39015063551280	The Star had featured the letter episode and its chief head- line read: WHO IS VALERIE?
mdp.39015063551280	The landlady, looking at the pathetic, stooping figure, withheld what she longed to say and substi- tuted:"Will you call again or leave a message?"
mdp.39015063551280	The man you call Tony, for instance?"
mdp.39015063551280	The theater?"
mdp.39015063551280	Then turning to the clerk: THE MISSING LODGER 125"Can you possibly recall what this woman wore?"
mdp.39015063551280	Then with a keen glance:"Are the ladies all right?"
mdp.39015063551280	Then with a touch of his old manner he rapped out:"When did you last see Delmond, Lady Avice?"
mdp.39015063551280	Then, pointing his finger at the woman suddenly, he rasped,'Why?"
mdp.39015063551280	Then, remembering his sentence, she added sharply,"But what do you mean about an old lady?
mdp.39015063551280	Then:"Did you know this man, Laureen?"
mdp.39015063551280	These aristocrats imagined they could bluff the law, did they?
mdp.39015063551280	This morning on Dover station whom do you think she saw post- ing a letter? ”"I ca n't guess,"smiled Avice.
mdp.39015063551280	This morning, for in- stance?"
mdp.39015063551280	Turkish or Egyptian?"
mdp.39015063551280	WHERE IS VALERIE?
mdp.39015063551280	Was Tony, your brother, I believe, with you also?"
mdp.39015063551280	Was her handbag in the locker with her clothes?
mdp.39015063551280	Was it Delmond's before he was murdered?
mdp.39015063551280	Was it a woman?
mdp.39015063551280	Was it accidental?
mdp.39015063551280	Was it one of those men who had spoken on the telephone?
mdp.39015063551280	Was it only a minute since she had been so happy, able for a time to forget the tragedy of two nights ago?
mdp.39015063551280	Was it the result of madness, malice or panic?
mdp.39015063551280	Was n't it splendid of him?
mdp.39015063551280	Was not all this merely circumstantial, a trifle too simple and easy?
mdp.39015063551280	Was she badly hurt?"
mdp.39015063551280	Was she implicated in this case?
mdp.39015063551280	Was that all right?"
mdp.39015063551280	Was that too mixed up with the Delmond affair?
mdp.39015063551280	Was this the Aladdin's cave of a rich connoisseur or had he stumbled upon the hiding place of some super- thief?
mdp.39015063551280	Was this the man he had badgered and kept at heel with his commands and questions last night and this morning?
mdp.39015063551280	Was this young man as innocent as he appeared, or was he a remark- ably good actor?
mdp.39015063551280	Were her clothes here?
mdp.39015063551280	Were they such close friends as all that?"
mdp.39015063551280	What about Valerie Baird and the packet of letters?
mdp.39015063551280	What about fingerprints? ” Jenkins replaced the cover and put the box back in the drawer before he answered.

mdp.39015063551280	What about the waiters in the restaurant?
mdp.39015063551280	What am I to do?"
mdp.39015063551280	What are we to do? ” She was fighting for self- control now.
mdp.39015063551280	What did he want with her?
mdp.39015063551280	What did it mean?
mdp.39015063551280	What did it remind her of?
mdp.39015063551280	What did that letter contain and where was it now?
mdp.39015063551280	What do you do each morning when you return?
mdp.39015063551280	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063551280	What do you want to know?"
mdp.39015063551280	What does he want?"
mdp.39015063551280	What had I better do?"
mdp.39015063551280	What had Lady Avice written to Delmond?
mdp.39015063551280	What is this man searching for?"
mdp.39015063551280	What new knot would be unraveled now?
mdp.39015063551280	What on earth was the matter with the man?
mdp.39015063551280	What right had he to pry into Laureen's move- ments?
mdp.39015063551280	What time and just where do you wish to renew my acquaint- ance?"
mdp.39015063551280	What was Mrs. de Groot doing there?
mdp.39015063551280	What was it you asked?"
mdp.39015063551280	What was that servant doing?
mdp.39015063551280	What witnesses had she?
mdp.39015063551280	What'll you have, miss?
mdp.39015063551280	What's that?"
mdp.39015063551280	What's the message?"
mdp.39015063551280	What's wrong?"
mdp.39015063551280	What's your name?"
mdp.39015063551280	When did his boat get in?
mdp.39015063551280	When did this woman who resembled Del- mond call at your apartment to reclaim that packet from your care?"
mdp.39015063551280	Where did you dine and with whom?"
mdp.39015063551280	Where do you propose to sleep?"
mdp.39015063551280	Where had she known that smell before?
mdp.39015063551280	Where has she gone now?
mdp.39015063551280	Where is it?"
mdp.39015063551280	Where is she going to sleep to- night?"
mdp.39015063551280	Where is your telephone, please? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015063551280	Where was he at the time of the murder?

mdp.39015063551280	Who cleaned that red paint from this sleeve?"
mdp.39015063551280	Who do I mean by'we'?
mdp.39015063551280	Who had brought her here, she wondered?
mdp.39015063551280	Who mentioned it?"
mdp.39015063551280	Who rang me up just now?"
mdp.39015063551280	Who was Tony?

mdp.39015063551280	Who would believe that story?
mdp.39015063551280	Who?"
mdp.39015063551280	Whom was she protecting?
mdp.39015063551280	Whose turn would it be next?
mdp.39015063551280	Why did you really run down- stairs?"
mdp.39015063551280	Why does she wish me to see her now if I may not speak?"
mdp.39015063551280	Why else had he hidden that shirt and vest under his own mattress?
mdp.39015063551280	Why had Avice played this sudden trick?
mdp.39015063551280	Why had he forced his way in here?
mdp.39015063551280	Why had n't he thought of that before?
mdp.39015063551280	Why had she lied?
mdp.39015063551280	Why in- deed had Avice sent her back to the taxi to call, through the window, that stupid message about her keys?
mdp.39015063551280	Why should a man of Lansberg's position commit murder and risk its consequences?

mdp.39015063551280	Will you be there?"
mdp.39015063551280	Will you come along to the Yard now and go with me to identify the body?"
mdp.39015063551280	Will you do so or do you prefer that I should?"

mdp.39015063551280	Will you have supper with me afterward?"
mdp.39015063551280	Will you tell me what was Delmond's attrac- tion that all these females hung round him?".
mdp.39015063551280	Wo n't you trust me?
mdp.39015063551280	Wonder- ful how the pieces are fitting into the puzzle, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063551280	Would they give her any food?
mdp.39015063551280	Would you like to see if we can get in, monsieur?"
mdp.39015063551280	Yet she fell for him. ” “ Has he some hold on them, do you think, sir?"
mdp.39015063551280	Yet what about that gashed shirt and vest?
mdp.39015063551280	You understand?"
mdp.39015063551280	You will wish the driver to remain near the hotel entrance?"
mdp.39015063551280	You've had a wire from whom?
mdp.39015063551280	Your maid's?"
mdp.39015063551280	she asked,"or are you preserving it as an important exhibit?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ And you never saw him again, Bertha? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Any of the other servants see or hear any- thing?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Any particular reason why you took a walk?
mdp.39015063551280	“ Anything else?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ At what hour did he return here last night?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Do you consider the one name legal? ” 46 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY Laureen's lips twitched.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Do you know who it is, sir? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Got any news?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Have a cigarette?
mdp.39015063551280	“ How do you kill them, Captain Lyall? ” He shut the lid and fastened it carefully.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Is that certain?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Is the maid recoy- 6o THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY ering, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Is there any chance of seeing a newspaper, Mr. Lans- berg?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ It will be quieter than the hotel and after 84 THE WESTMINSTER MYSTERY last night I need rest or what will my work be like to- night?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Oh, I say, Doctor,"he asked, “ what sort of a girl is Lady Avice Garth?
mdp.39015063551280	“ Oh, what is it now? ” Laureen asked anxiously, pressing her hands to her head.
mdp.39015063551280	“ One set has a thumb missing? ” he demanded eagerly.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Or would you like me to look round the flat?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Shall I ring for tea, madame, or will you wait for her ladyship? ”"I'll wait until she comes,"Mrs. de Groot an- swered.
mdp.39015063551280	“ What about those ashes from Miss Laureen's flat?
mdp.39015063551280	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ What name did you say?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ What's wrong?
mdp.39015063551280	“ When did you learn about the accident, Miss Laureen? ” he asked pointedly.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Where did you dine? ”"The Regina Grill Room."
mdp.39015063551280	“ Where is he?
mdp.39015063551280	“ Why did you go in there? ” he de- manded.
mdp.39015063551280	“ Why not?"
mdp.39015063551280	“ Will you have one, Inspector?"
mdp.39015032124896	Ah! then you were, indeed"I was where? mdp.39015032124896 Ah, well, dear father,"said she,"what does that matter, even if we do hold the property?
mdp.39015032124896	All ready?
mdp.39015032124896	All this is very well, Father Chupin,she said, dryly,"but what are you going to do now to repair your negligence?"
mdp.39015032124896	Am I to understand that Marie- Anne was the mis- tress of Maurice, and that she had a child by him? mdp.39015032124896 Am I, then, the dupe of a shameless girl?"
mdp.39015032124896	An owner of national lands, probably?
mdp.39015032124896	And can you hesitate?
mdp.39015032124896	And he is a soldier?
mdp.39015032124896	And his farm — who will take care of that?
mdp.39015032124896	And his name?
mdp.39015032124896	And how many servants?
mdp.39015032124896	And how will you procure a hundred feet of rope 288 THE HONOR OF THE NAME at this hour in Montaigfiac? mdp.39015032124896 And if I should aid you, what compensation will you give me?"
mdp.39015032124896	And if I should not accept the — the conditions which are imposed, what then?
mdp.39015032124896	And if she comes what am I to say to her?
mdp.39015032124896	And if we should not succeed,asked Maurice, gloomily,"what could I do then?"
mdp.39015032124896	And if/ am just as obstinate,he exclaimed —"if I keep the property — what will you do?"
mdp.39015032124896	And it will go hard with soldier or civilian who ventures to molest them, will it not, comrades?
mdp.39015032124896	And now,said he, turning to Maurice,"what have you been doing this evening?"
mdp.39015032124896	And shall I regret what I have done?
mdp.39015032124896	And so you are foolish enough to suppose that it was to me that he offered all that money?
mdp.39015032124896	And still she loves you?
mdp.39015032124896	And the King,she resumed;"will the King con- sent to such a crime?
mdp.39015032124896	And this terrible letter?
mdp.39015032124896	And to whom?
mdp.39015032124896	And was it at Montaignac that you bought the horse you were riding just now?
mdp.39015032124896	And what are you going to do with all this rope?
mdp.39015032124896	And what does he want here?
mdp.39015032124896	And what if I could prove this fact beyond all question?
mdp.39015032124896	And what is the nearest village?
mdp.39015032124896	And what is their mood?
mdp.39015032124896	And what is to become of me?
mdp.39015032124896	And what is your business?
mdp.39015032124896	And what of that?
mdp.39015032124896	And when does the commission enter upon its functions?
mdp.39015032124896	And when will you speak to them?
mdp.39015032124896	And who has thus ruined the fortunes of our house, that promised so brilliantly? mdp.39015032124896 And why not?"
mdp.39015032124896	And why should this astonish you?
mdp.39015032124896	And why, instead of summoning a physician, are you attempting to dress this wound yourself?
mdp.39015032124896	And why, pray? mdp.39015032124896 And why, you fool?"
mdp.39015032124896	And why?
mdp.39015032124896	And you believe that this letter can be of any ser- vice?
mdp.39015032124896	And you receive him? mdp.39015032124896 And you still insist upon my returning Sairmeuse to its former owner?"
mdp.39015032124896	And you!—after what he has done — you dare to defend him?
mdp.39015032124896	And you, father, with all your knowledge of human nature, with all your wide experience, have not been able to fathom his intentions?
mdp.39015032124896	And you, my friend,he asked, sadly,"what are you going to do?"
mdp.39015032124896	And you, prisoner, what have you to say in self- justification, after this crushing ac- cusation- by Mademoiselle de Courtornieu?
mdp.39015032124896	And your daughter?
mdp.39015032124896	And your wife?
mdp.39015032124896	Are we at our journey's end?
mdp.39015032124896	Are we going alone?
mdp.39015032124896	Are we not your friends?
mdp.39015032124896	Are you afraid?
mdp.39015032124896	Are you ill, father?
mdp.39015032124896	Are you mad, Marquis? mdp.39015032124896 Are you sure of this?"
mdp.39015032124896	Are you sure of what you say?
mdp.39015032124896	Are you sure that what you tell me is true?
mdp.39015032124896	As for the marquis, he showed me that he too was wounded, and then he remounted his horse, saying:'What could I do?
mdp.39015032124896	At least you will not refuse to tell me who sent you here?
mdp.39015032124896	At what hour will he start?
mdp.39015032124896	Balstain?
mdp.39015032124896	Be a man,continued the priest;"where is your energy?
mdp.39015032124896	Because the marquis"Well?
mdp.39015032124896	Besides,she thought, smiling proudly, as she sur- veyed her reflection in the large mirrors;"am I not as pretty as Marie- Anne?"
mdp.39015032124896	But how can I find an opportunity to confer with him?
mdp.39015032124896	But how did she conceal her shame?
mdp.39015032124896	But what does he say in justification of his con- duct? mdp.39015032124896 But whence does he come?
mdp.39015032124896	But who advised him? mdp.39015032124896 But why?
mdp.39015032124896	But your daughter?
mdp.39015032124896	But, sir"What, you have not gone yet?
mdp.39015032124896	But, will it not awaken suspicion?
mdp.39015032124896	But,continued Balstain,"what else could one expect from a vile knave like Chupin?
mdp.39015032124896	By what right do you barricade my house when I, the master, am without?
mdp.39015032124896	By whom do you suppose it was written?
mdp.39015032124896	By whom? mdp.39015032124896 Can it be that he does not love me?"
mdp.39015032124896	Can it be that she has a lover?
mdp.39015032124896	Can it be that this miserable peasant has deceived me?
mdp.39015032124896	Can it really be sugar?
mdp.39015032124896	Can this be possible?
mdp.39015032124896	Can you guide us across the frontier to- night?
mdp.39015032124896	Can you understand such pride as that? mdp.39015032124896 Chanlouineau was not lying, then,"he said to his son, in a choked, unnatural voice;"you were one of the instigators of this rebellion, then?"
mdp.39015032124896	Cunning — and how? mdp.39015032124896 Did he go away with the son of that rascal, Lache- neur?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did you not hear what Chupin said to me?
mdp.39015032124896	Did you recognize this officer?
mdp.39015032124896	Do I not love? mdp.39015032124896 Do I really have that appearance?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do the dead return to life? mdp.39015032124896 Do they have the appearance of people who are preparing a triumphal reception for their old masters?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do they intend to betray us? mdp.39015032124896 Do you dare to assert that you discovered the brigand?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you hate me, then?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you hear anything?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you hear that, Marquis?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you know who it was?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you know, then, where this brigand is con- cealed?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you question my sincerity? mdp.39015032124896 Do you think that I do not suspect them?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you think we are ruined by two or three mis- takes? mdp.39015032124896 Do you wish me to be murdered?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you, then, wish to ruin my life, Monsieur?
mdp.39015032124896	Does she hope to make us forget that she is mar- ried and that her husband has deserted her?
mdp.39015032124896	Does she notice a peculiar taste in the bouillon?
mdp.39015032124896	For did he not deceive us?
mdp.39015032124896	For what purpose, then?
mdp.39015032124896	For whom are you waiting?
mdp.39015032124896	Hand how?
mdp.39015032124896	Has he been to your house?
mdp.39015032124896	Have I, then, offended you?
mdp.39015032124896	Have we any intelligent men in the citadel?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you decided? mdp.39015032124896 Have you seen Marie- Anne, father?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you seen him again?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you seen him?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you told them who you are?
mdp.39015032124896	How can I guess?
mdp.39015032124896	How can I prove this?
mdp.39015032124896	How can it be that he does not fear the walls will fall and crush him?
mdp.39015032124896	How can we defend them,the lawyers pleaded,"when we know nothing of the situation of each of the prisoners?
mdp.39015032124896	How could you be ignorant that there were many sympathizers with this movement in the garrison?
mdp.39015032124896	How could you declare that your people were unfavorably disposed toward us? mdp.39015032124896 How do you know this?"
mdp.39015032124896	How do you know?
mdp.39015032124896	How do you reconcile this with your denials?
mdp.39015032124896	How many are there in this family?
mdp.39015032124896	How many are there?
mdp.39015032124896	How many men are there at the rendezvous?
mdp.39015032124896	How shall I save the honor of the name?
mdp.39015032124896	How the devil could they have reached the base of the tower?
mdp.39015032124896	I am she, Monsieur,she replied;"what do you desire of me?"
mdp.39015032124896	I do not say but"But what? mdp.39015032124896 I suppose,"he continued,"the baron has been sep- arated from the other prisoners?"
mdp.39015032124896	If I am re- captured, what will happen? mdp.39015032124896 Is Mademoiselle Lacheneur here?"
mdp.39015032124896	Is he wounded?
mdp.39015032124896	Is it on account of your family that you hesitate?
mdp.39015032124896	Is it possible that Martial assassinated Chupin after he murdered Marie- Anne? mdp.39015032124896 Is it possible that you could ever love me?"
mdp.39015032124896	Is it possible?
mdp.39015032124896	Is it you?
mdp.39015032124896	Is she not remarkably beautiful? mdp.39015032124896 Is the enemy in the city?"
mdp.39015032124896	Is this young lady really your wife, Monsieur — Dubois?
mdp.39015032124896	It is Lacheneur you are seeking, is it not? mdp.39015032124896 It is certainly my wife; but why is she dressed in such a fashion?"
mdp.39015032124896	It will not be long before he returns"Who can say?
mdp.39015032124896	Leave?
mdp.39015032124896	Let us see, Chupin, what you will do for an old friend? mdp.39015032124896 Maurice?"
mdp.39015032124896	Monsieur'd'Escorval will give himself up to his enemies? mdp.39015032124896 Must I declare that if even I suspect such an arrangement between Chanlouineau and my father, I have not been consult- ed?
mdp.39015032124896	Must I stoop so low as to defend myself from such an imputation?
mdp.39015032124896	Need I tell you, Mademoiselle,he resumed,"all that I suffered last evening in the little drawing- room in the presbytery?
mdp.39015032124896	Now will you explain what happened at the Bor- derie; and what you were doing there?
mdp.39015032124896	Now, my dear friend,he inquired,"what course do you propose to pursue with these members of the Sairmeuse family?"
mdp.39015032124896	Now,continued M. Lacheneur,"I must tell you my hopes, and acquaint you with the cause for which I am laboring""What does that matter to me?"
mdp.39015032124896	Now,said he to his son,"will you be so kind as to explain your plan?"
mdp.39015032124896	Of course — I might have known that — but where will he find a husband for Marie- Anne?
mdp.39015032124896	Of what new freak is this doleful face the pref- ace?
mdp.39015032124896	Of what shall I not be accused? mdp.39015032124896 Pedler?"
mdp.39015032124896	Shall we not have the honor of paying our respects to Mademoiselle de Courtornieu?
mdp.39015032124896	She was pretended to be such a saint 1 But where the devil has she put it?
mdp.39015032124896	So be it,she said, with an ironical smile,"but is it Chanlouineau for whom you are waiting this evening?
mdp.39015032124896	So if imminent peril menaced me, instead of com- ing to my aid you would desert me? mdp.39015032124896 So it is you who have sold my life, Chupin?"
mdp.39015032124896	So this young man comes here?
mdp.39015032124896	So you avow these shameful services? mdp.39015032124896 So you confess your guilt?"
mdp.39015032124896	So you know the way to the Borderie?
mdp.39015032124896	Some- one said to me just now:'A friend of the Emperor is in danger; are you willing to lend him a helping hand?' mdp.39015032124896 Still, what motive could he have had?"
mdp.39015032124896	That coxcomb is poking fun at me,he thought;"and he and his father and that prig deserve — but what is one to do?"
mdp.39015032124896	The Marquis Martial, is it not? mdp.39015032124896 The baron will be recaptured?"
mdp.39015032124896	The court can grant you no delay,interrupted M. de Sairmeuse;"will you accept the defence, yes or no?"
mdp.39015032124896	The owner of the vineyards on the Borderie?
mdp.39015032124896	Then it is not as people say?
mdp.39015032124896	Then these vile rascals attacked you?
mdp.39015032124896	Then why did your father pro- pose it? mdp.39015032124896 Then you knew that this was the spot appointed for the general rendezvous?"
mdp.39015032124896	Then you suppose that it was Chupin?
mdp.39015032124896	Then you think if the baron escapes they will give you back your letter?
mdp.39015032124896	There must have been some accident,he remarked to his father and to the marquis;"but what?"
mdp.39015032124896	To go where, pray?
mdp.39015032124896	To my house?
mdp.39015032124896	Undoubtedly; but what does he desire?
mdp.39015032124896	Was I dreaming?
mdp.39015032124896	Was the act I committed so ignoble and abomi- nable?
mdp.39015032124896	Well, my good Father Chupin, what sort of sport have you had to- day?
mdp.39015032124896	Well, then?
mdp.39015032124896	Well, what does it matter?
mdp.39015032124896	Well, what of it?
mdp.39015032124896	Well?
mdp.39015032124896	Well?
mdp.39015032124896	What am I to do? mdp.39015032124896 What am I?"
mdp.39015032124896	What are we doing here?
mdp.39015032124896	What are you doing here? mdp.39015032124896 What are you doing?"
mdp.39015032124896	What are you saying about flowers?
mdp.39015032124896	What brings you here?
mdp.39015032124896	What can it mean?
mdp.39015032124896	What can this mean?
mdp.39015032124896	What course shall we pursue?
mdp.39015032124896	What did the quarrels of the great matter to me — a simple laborer? mdp.39015032124896 What did they say to each other while they were alone?"
mdp.39015032124896	What do I intend to do?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you ask then?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you desire?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you intend to do? mdp.39015032124896 What do you intend to do?"
mdp.39015032124896	What do you know regarding the prisoner D'Es- corval?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you mean, fool?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you say?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you think of all these peasants?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you want with me?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you want?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you wish to say?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you wish, then?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you wish?
mdp.39015032124896	What do you wish?
mdp.39015032124896	What does she desire here?
mdp.39015032124896	What does this mean?
mdp.39015032124896	What fears, in Heaven's name?
mdp.39015032124896	What good will it do? mdp.39015032124896 What has happened?
mdp.39015032124896	What has happened?
mdp.39015032124896	What has happened?
mdp.39015032124896	What has happened?
mdp.39015032124896	What has happened?
mdp.39015032124896	What if Martial's offer is only a trap?
mdp.39015032124896	What is his name?
mdp.39015032124896	What is it?
mdp.39015032124896	What is it?
mdp.39015032124896	What is it?
mdp.39015032124896	What is it?
mdp.39015032124896	What is that to you? mdp.39015032124896 What is the cause of this disturbance?"
mdp.39015032124896	What is the matter?
mdp.39015032124896	What is the matter?
mdp.39015032124896	What is the proof?
mdp.39015032124896	What is the use of denying it?
mdp.39015032124896	What is this about a child?
mdp.39015032124896	What is this proof?
mdp.39015032124896	What kind of a window is that in the baron's room?
mdp.39015032124896	What must I say to Maurice?
mdp.39015032124896	What of that?
mdp.39015032124896	What orders are travelling through space?
mdp.39015032124896	What part am I playing here, then?
mdp.39015032124896	What people? mdp.39015032124896 What reply shall I make to my comrade?"
mdp.39015032124896	What shall I do, then?
mdp.39015032124896	What shall I return? mdp.39015032124896 What should I do there?
mdp.39015032124896	What, Monsieur,interrupted one of the officers,"you wish us to procure a litter at this hour of the night, and in this neighborhood?"
mdp.39015032124896	What, sir?
mdp.39015032124896	What? mdp.39015032124896 What?"
mdp.39015032124896	Where are my friends?
mdp.39015032124896	Where are they?
mdp.39015032124896	Where are you taking me?
mdp.39015032124896	Where does Monsieur Lacheneur live? mdp.39015032124896 Where is he?"
mdp.39015032124896	Where is he?
mdp.39015032124896	Where is it? mdp.39015032124896 Where is it?"
mdp.39015032124896	Where is it?
mdp.39015032124896	Where is it?
mdp.39015032124896	Where is my father?
mdp.39015032124896	Where is the self- control you promised me?
mdp.39015032124896	Where is this fighting?
mdp.39015032124896	Where is your husband?
mdp.39015032124896	Where shall I put this clothing?
mdp.39015032124896	Who are the leaders of the movement?
mdp.39015032124896	Who are you?
mdp.39015032124896	Who are you?
mdp.39015032124896	Who are you?
mdp.39015032124896	Who can it be?
mdp.39015032124896	Who can tell what important de- cisions may result from this revery?
mdp.39015032124896	Who could have told you what had happened? mdp.39015032124896 Who could have warned them?"
mdp.39015032124896	Who has sold me?
mdp.39015032124896	Who is it?
mdp.39015032124896	Who is there?
mdp.39015032124896	Who is this person, Abbe?
mdp.39015032124896	Who is this person?
mdp.39015032124896	Who knows but Mar- tial and Marie- Anne are there in that house now, mock- ing me, and laughing at my credulity?
mdp.39015032124896	Who knows but he is afraid at the last moment? mdp.39015032124896 Who knows?
mdp.39015032124896	Who permitted you to enter here?
mdp.39015032124896	Who sent us? mdp.39015032124896 Who told you all this?"
mdp.39015032124896	Who told you that the Duc de Sairmeuse would trouble you? mdp.39015032124896 Who were the others?"
mdp.39015032124896	Who would not prefer death to such a misfort- une?
mdp.39015032124896	Who? mdp.39015032124896 Who?"
mdp.39015032124896	Whom do you call dupes, Monsieur?
mdp.39015032124896	Why did I meet you? mdp.39015032124896 Why did you not come to me before judgment was pronounced?"
mdp.39015032124896	Why did you not inform me of the honor that the baron had done me, Marie- Anne?
mdp.39015032124896	Why do you not answer?
mdp.39015032124896	Why do you not confide in me? mdp.39015032124896 Why do you resort to subterfuges which are so unworthy of you?"
mdp.39015032124896	Why do you wish to know?
mdp.39015032124896	Why is this gate closed?
mdp.39015032124896	Why not seek another house? mdp.39015032124896 Why so?"
mdp.39015032124896	Why the devil did you meddle with the matter?
mdp.39015032124896	Why?
mdp.39015032124896	Will these gentlemen take any refreshments?
mdp.39015032124896	Will you be so kind as to explain what is required of my father in exchange for this letter?
mdp.39015032124896	Will you hold my horse a moment?
mdp.39015032124896	Will you take a seat, dear Monsieur Lacheneur?
mdp.39015032124896	With whom? mdp.39015032124896 Would it be indiscreet in me to inquire what you intend to do?"
mdp.39015032124896	Would you assert this upon oath? mdp.39015032124896 Wretched man, what do you mean?"
mdp.39015032124896	You admit it, then?
mdp.39015032124896	You confess your guilt, scoundrel?
mdp.39015032124896	You have neither received nor concealed anyone this evening?
mdp.39015032124896	You have not forgotten him, then?
mdp.39015032124896	You have taken part in this rebellion?
mdp.39015032124896	You mean that scoundrel Lacheneur's daughter, do you not? mdp.39015032124896 You will not follow these madmen, Maurice?"
mdp.39015032124896	You wish to re- venge yourself on the Sairmeuse family, and you have made Chanlouineau your accomplice?
mdp.39015032124896	You?
mdp.39015032124896	Your husband? mdp.39015032124896 Your name and age?"
mdp.39015032124896	what must we do?
mdp.39015032124896	'Here, old man,'he said,'do you wish to do me a favor?'
mdp.39015032124896	'Is this you, Jean?'
mdp.39015032124896	* Was it only a roue's manoeuvre?
mdp.39015032124896	- Are you afraid he will not be recaptured, that you return here to set the enemies upon his track?
mdp.39015032124896	112 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"And do you believe that this is the husband of whom she had dreamed?
mdp.39015032124896	164 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"What of that?"
mdp.39015032124896	1o4 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"You surely will hot do this, Monsieur le Duc?"
mdp.39015032124896	246 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"Which of you,"demanded M. de Sairmeuse,"will consent to defend this great culprit?"
mdp.39015032124896	266 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"Did you say that the Marquis de Sairmeuse had been wounded?"
mdp.39015032124896	27 418 THE HONOR OF THE NAME And what did the duke say to the King, who ac- corded him such a gracious reception?
mdp.39015032124896	334 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"What calamity has happened to you, Master Chupin?"
mdp.39015032124896	460 THE HONOR OF THE NAME Where should she go?
mdp.39015032124896	468 THE HONOR OF THE NAME Is it for Chanlouineau you have warmed these slippers and laid this table?
mdp.39015032124896	64 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"And did they believe him?"
mdp.39015032124896	A third?
mdp.39015032124896	About four o'clock his faithful valet de chambre re- turned, an expression of profound consternation visible upon his countenanced"What is it?"
mdp.39015032124896	After that, how could she help blessing the violence which put an end to a situation which was so insulting for her, and so humiliating for Maurice?
mdp.39015032124896	Am I childish enough to be frightened by phantoms born of my own imaginations?"
mdp.39015032124896	Am I not THE HONOR OF THE NAME 275 my own master?
mdp.39015032124896	Am I not an old friend?
mdp.39015032124896	Am I not here?
mdp.39015032124896	Am I not rich — immensely rich?
mdp.39015032124896	Am I not your daughter?
mdp.39015032124896	Am I not your friend?
mdp.39015032124896	And Martial de Sairmeuse?"
mdp.39015032124896	And besides, who would dare to accuse her, Marquise de Sairmeuse nee Blanche de Courtornieu, of being the murderer?
mdp.39015032124896	And by going, would she not lose all chance of hearing from Maurice, which was the only hope that sustained her in this try- ing hour?
mdp.39015032124896	And by which road?
mdp.39015032124896	And foreseeing, perhaps, what was to come, he added, in a tone of concentrated fury: 12 178 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"What do you two men want with me?"
mdp.39015032124896	And from the base of the tower to the foot of the precipice — how far is that?"
mdp.39015032124896	And have you not done me the honor to call me your friend?"
mdp.39015032124896	And if Maurice and your brother should both be killed, what would become of you?
mdp.39015032124896	And turning to his son:"Is it not true, boy?"
mdp.39015032124896	And what do these people say?"
mdp.39015032124896	And what good would it have done for me to protest?
mdp.39015032124896	And what has she done with her child?
mdp.39015032124896	And when?"
mdp.39015032124896	And whom could she expect save Martial?
mdp.39015032124896	And why should she not suppose he had betrayed her — this miserable wretch, who made it his business to betray others?
mdp.39015032124896	And why, if you please?"
mdp.39015032124896	And yet, what could pos- sibly be the motive?
mdp.39015032124896	And you will pay the expenses of the war and of the recon- ciliation?
mdp.39015032124896	And — why should I not confess it? — the Duc de'Sairmeuse, with his white hair, still retains the illusions of a child.
mdp.39015032124896	And, besides, what advice could he give us?"
mdp.39015032124896	Appalled by a dread of disgrace, did she commit the crime committed by so many other ruined and forsaken women?
mdp.39015032124896	Are you not try- ing to elude me with false hopes?
mdp.39015032124896	Are you ready?"
mdp.39015032124896	Are you really in love with that little Lacheneur?"
mdp.39015032124896	At what hour?
mdp.39015032124896	Beauti- ful?
mdp.39015032124896	Before 28 THE HONOR OF THE NAME 435"Well, what shall we decide?"
mdp.39015032124896	Besides, how could they injure him, since he had no favors to ask, no cravings of ambition to satisfy?
mdp.39015032124896	Besides, what does his approbation matter to us?
mdp.39015032124896	Blanche, she comprehended that this strange visit concealed some mystery — but what?
mdp.39015032124896	Blanche,"but she led me astray; did you not, aunt?"
mdp.39015032124896	Blanche?
mdp.39015032124896	But even then, what could I do?
mdp.39015032124896	But how could he accumulate money when he was often too poor to appease his hunger?
mdp.39015032124896	But how could he thus abandon the Marquis de Courtornieu, who had accepted his hospitality, and especially Blanche, his son's wife?
mdp.39015032124896	But how had this man succeeded in gaining admis- sion to this room?
mdp.39015032124896	But how shall I obtain it?
mdp.39015032124896	But now, who knows but it will, one day, be the only resource of the Sairmeuse?
mdp.39015032124896	But those cruel judges have condemned an innocent"Baron d'Escorval?"
mdp.39015032124896	But was she alone responsible?
mdp.39015032124896	But what can daunt the courage of a lover?
mdp.39015032124896	But what could he do?
mdp.39015032124896	But what could they do under such circumstances?
mdp.39015032124896	But what did the marquis desire here — and why this farce?
mdp.39015032124896	But what does it matter to you, since I am willing to assume the respon- sibility?"
mdp.39015032124896	But what does that matter?
mdp.39015032124896	But what does that matter?
mdp.39015032124896	But what had become of it?
mdp.39015032124896	But what secret?
mdp.39015032124896	But what was passing in her father's mind?
mdp.39015032124896	But when fate is against a man, what can he do?
mdp.39015032124896	But where and how could he procure them?
mdp.39015032124896	But where can Martial be?"
mdp.39015032124896	But where should he pass the night?
mdp.39015032124896	But where was he to find this liberator?
mdp.39015032124896	But who could be suspicious?
mdp.39015032124896	But why should M. Lacheneur give his daughter to an uncultured peasant?
mdp.39015032124896	But why this sudden reappearance?
mdp.39015032124896	But will you not now be my wife in the sight of men, as you are in the sight of God?
mdp.39015032124896	But, what did it matter to him?
mdp.39015032124896	By what immense efforts of will, at the cost of what torture, had he made himself what he was?
mdp.39015032124896	By what method could they discover the extent of each prisoner's guilt?
mdp.39015032124896	By what right?
mdp.39015032124896	CHAPTER LIII How was it that Martial had failed to discover or to suspect this state of affairs?
mdp.39015032124896	Can it be you, you who grant a rendezvous to gallants in the forest?
mdp.39015032124896	Can you guess who the rider was?
mdp.39015032124896	Chanlouineau?"
mdp.39015032124896	Christian, what has become of your confidence in adjust and beneficial God?"
mdp.39015032124896	Corporal?"
mdp.39015032124896	Could it be in order to satisfy his wounded pride, then?
mdp.39015032124896	Could it be possible that he had fallen into the hands of the peasants?
mdp.39015032124896	Could it be that he was guilty?
mdp.39015032124896	Could it be that they had been refused access to the prison?
mdp.39015032124896	Could she doubt him?
mdp.39015032124896	Could she tell what guests she was expecting?
mdp.39015032124896	Could the duke have made a mistake in the height of the cliff?
mdp.39015032124896	Could this be possible?
mdp.39015032124896	Could you see, unmoved, the frightful position in which she is placed?
mdp.39015032124896	Did I date this writing?
mdp.39015032124896	Did I not tacitly give her back her liberty?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did I not tell you just now that Chanlouineau had made a tool of me?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did her pure forehead and her chaste looks lie?
mdp.39015032124896	Did my recommendation procure for you the work you desired?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did not Ney, on the morning of his execu- tion, implore the King to order the removal of his wife who was sobbing and moaning in his cell?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did she hear?
mdp.39015032124896	Did she murder her own child?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did she not confide in you?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did she tell you that if her father gave his consent to your mar- riage, she would refuse hers?"
mdp.39015032124896	Did you see a single soldier in the corridor, just now?
mdp.39015032124896	Divide, will you not?
mdp.39015032124896	Do not all roads lead to the abyss into which they must sink?
mdp.39015032124896	Do they love each other already?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you fear my father's opposition?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you hear me?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you know my son?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you know what happened last night?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you know what the fellow desired?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you no longer love me?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you not know that since the return of the Bourbons Monsieur d'Escorval is of no account whatever?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you not see what I suffer, and that it is impossible for me to endure further tort- ure?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you really suppose that neither the Duc de Sairmeuse nor the Marquis de Courtornieu has been warned of it?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you see those lights on the horizon?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you suppose that he has been stupid enough not to have laid anything aside during all these years?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you suppose that the English will give you back your Emperor?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you think I did not suffer that evening when you sent your brother to take away my newly wedded husband, upon whose face I have not gazed since?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you think that I, too, do not suffer?"
mdp.39015032124896	Do you think that this d d baron adores you?
mdp.39015032124896	Do you understand now why I wished you to regard us as strangers?
mdp.39015032124896	Does not the Marquis de Sairmeuse promise him a letter of license, a safe- conduct from the King?"
mdp.39015032124896	Does not this circumstance prove that their friends are masters of the town, and that they are awaiting them in force?
mdp.39015032124896	Each man also said to himself:"What do we risk by crying,'Vive le Duc?'
mdp.39015032124896	Even if it is living, who can tell me where it is?"
mdp.39015032124896	Fear lent them wings, for did they not hear each moment shots fired at the laggards?
mdp.39015032124896	Fly?
mdp.39015032124896	For had he not, in the hope of obtaining an inter- view with her, perilled his honor by simulating the most ignoble fear?
mdp.39015032124896	For his, or for Chanlouineau's?
mdp.39015032124896	For was she not really a widow?
mdp.39015032124896	From mercenary motives?
mdp.39015032124896	From whence did it come?"
mdp.39015032124896	God grant that she may be happy; for we were very fond of her, very — were we not, Aunt Medea?"
mdp.39015032124896	Had Chanlouineau foreseen this?
mdp.39015032124896	Had M. de Courtornieu's counsels carried the day, or had Martial sent someone to aid him?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he been killed or taken pris- oner?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he divined the secret of her resistance?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he dreamed it?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he not been seen prowling around the Borderie on the very evening that the crime was committed?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he not good reason to believe that sooner or later this fatal word would be uttered?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he not longed only a few hours before to find some way of driving Maurice from the country?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he reached the frontier?
mdp.39015032124896	Had he succeeded?
mdp.39015032124896	Had it broken naturally?
mdp.39015032124896	Had it not removed her rival from her path?
mdp.39015032124896	Had she not suc- ceeded in concealing her fault?
mdp.39015032124896	Had the brave peasant really found some means of salvation?
mdp.39015032124896	Has he been listening to us?
mdp.39015032124896	Has he been play- ing the spy?
mdp.39015032124896	Have I ever refused you money?
mdp.39015032124896	Have we any need of him?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you forgotten all the blood that flows between us?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you forgotten our old friendship?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you forgotten that the allied sovereigns have left one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers within a day's march of Paris?"
mdp.39015032124896	Have you forgotten the calculation made for us last evening by the Chevalier de la Livan- diere?"
mdp.39015032124896	Have you no confidence in me?
mdp.39015032124896	Have you spoken to her?"
mdp.39015032124896	Have you, or have you not, dared to try and to condemn to death the unfortunate men who were only the tools of your son?"
mdp.39015032124896	He beheld himself the richest landowner in that lo- cality; he was the chosen friend of the King; had he not a right to aspire to anything?
mdp.39015032124896	He cast a suspicious glance around the room, then, in a harsh voice:"Who is the master of this house?"
mdp.39015032124896	He stammered out something like this:'You are mad — you are jesting — have we not always been friends?
mdp.39015032124896	He too could flee; was he not mounted upon a gal- lant steed, which would bear him beyond the reach of the enemy?
mdp.39015032124896	He turned to his father, and brusquely asked:"Have you any man in whom you can confide?"
mdp.39015032124896	He turned to them, and motioned them to approach; then, pointing to Chanlouineau:"Will you undertake this culprit's defence?"
mdp.39015032124896	He walked about the square with the Mar- quis de Courtornieu""And his son?"
mdp.39015032124896	He went to his father, and after saluting him respectfully, inquired:"What is all this?"
mdp.39015032124896	Her naivete was affected, perhaps, but.was it any the less charming on that account?
mdp.39015032124896	His daughter glanced at him scornfully; then, in a tone of bitter irony, she remarked:"Do you think I am in Paradise?"
mdp.39015032124896	His eyes betrayed such an agony of anguish that the priest who accompanied him leaned toward him and whispered:"For whom are you looking, my son?"
mdp.39015032124896	His eyes met hers, and in a husky voice he added:"Will you then forget me?"
mdp.39015032124896	His friends have deserted him; shall I, his daughter, also abandon him?
mdp.39015032124896	His son, the Marquis de Sairmeuse, was he, or was he not, implicated in this conspiracy?
mdp.39015032124896	How can I be insensible to the honor he confers upon me?
mdp.39015032124896	How can I ever thank you?"
mdp.39015032124896	How can I, a proscribed man — a man condemned to death perhaps — how can I ob- tain the necessary papers?"
mdp.39015032124896	How can we find out who the would- be murderer was?"
mdp.39015032124896	How could M. Lacheneur suppose them guilty of such black ingratitude?
mdp.39015032124896	How could he ascertain?
mdp.39015032124896	How could he compete with the memory of such nobility of soul and heroic self- sacrifice?
mdp.39015032124896	How could he defend himself without betraying his son?
mdp.39015032124896	How could he hope when all hope seemed absolute- ly lost?
mdp.39015032124896	How could the boy help being crazy about her?
mdp.39015032124896	How did it happen that she was cognizant of the existence of such a person?
mdp.39015032124896	How did this happen?
mdp.39015032124896	How have you rewarded the man whose heroic honesty gave you back a fortune?
mdp.39015032124896	How many times have I saved you from the gendarmes and from the galleys?
mdp.39015032124896	How much of his former domain do you all own between you?
mdp.39015032124896	How was she about to reward his gener- osity?
mdp.39015032124896	How was this danger to be averted?
mdp.39015032124896	How were they to select them?
mdp.39015032124896	How?"
mdp.39015032124896	I have a right to- do so, have I not?"
mdp.39015032124896	If Jean kills me there is no more to be said — but if I kill him, what is to be done?'
mdp.39015032124896	If he is dead, what will become of my child?
mdp.39015032124896	If you take Montaignac, what will you do then?
mdp.39015032124896	If you were questioned, what plaus- ible explanation could you give?"
mdp.39015032124896	In fact, why should not the Sairmeuse have regretted their odious conduct?
mdp.39015032124896	In what human creat- ure could he confide?
mdp.39015032124896	In whose service did he perish?
mdp.39015032124896	Is it any fault of ours that the nobles fled to foreign lands?
mdp.39015032124896	Is it not better to die with your weapons in your hands?
mdp.39015032124896	Is it not so, you others?"
mdp.39015032124896	Is it possible?"
mdp.39015032124896	Is that too much?
mdp.39015032124896	Is this true?
mdp.39015032124896	It is true that dissatisfaction was rife on every side, but had they not hundreds and thousands of allies at hand to suppress it?
mdp.39015032124896	It was only when the conference was ended, and he had consented to all the conditions, that he said, sadly:"We are friends, are we not?"
mdp.39015032124896	Light some torches, my friends, and come with me, for you will aid me, will you not?
mdp.39015032124896	M. de Sairmeuse turned:"What is it?"
mdp.39015032124896	M. de Sairmeuse was so far from being his dupe, that his next thought was:"What is to follow this farce?
mdp.39015032124896	Messieurs?"
mdp.39015032124896	Might she succeed in persuading this silly old woman, who still longed for finery and ball- dresses, to marry?
mdp.39015032124896	Monsieur, what shall I do?"
mdp.39015032124896	Monsieur, will you not give me a message for Monsieur d'Escorval?
mdp.39015032124896	Moreover, what was not preferable to the agony of suspense which they had been enduring for hours?
mdp.39015032124896	Must I tell you that there are some sacrifices which are beyond the strength of poor human nature?
mdp.39015032124896	Must I, a soldier, remind you of what is due your sacred calling?
mdp.39015032124896	No, you say no?
mdp.39015032124896	Now re- flect, shall I expect you on Wednesday?"
mdp.39015032124896	Of what terrible ven- geance are you dreaming?"
mdp.39015032124896	Oh, my God, would you not be reduced to beggary?
mdp.39015032124896	On the other hand, what could have become of Martial?
mdp.39015032124896	On the sudden apparition of the young Marquis de Sairmeuse, Maurice d'Escorval's first thought was this:"How long has he been there?
mdp.39015032124896	On which side does this window look?"
mdp.39015032124896	Or had he also in- voluntarily submitted to the power of this beautiful girl?
mdp.39015032124896	Perhaps it would be wise to send him away; but in that case, what would people say?
mdp.39015032124896	Perish my daughter's virtue — perish my daughter herself — what do they matter, if I can but succeed?"
mdp.39015032124896	Really, what could he say?
mdp.39015032124896	Shall I await you to- morrow on the Reche?
mdp.39015032124896	Shall I run up and warn her?"
mdp.39015032124896	Shall you not claim the ten thousand francs that they owe you?"
mdp.39015032124896	She must leave the carriage, must she not, Mon- sieur d'Escorval?"
mdp.39015032124896	She shook off the stupor that paralyzed her, and seizing her brother's hands:"What do you intend to do?"
mdp.39015032124896	Should Maurice and Marie- Anne make their marriage public?
mdp.39015032124896	Should each man go his way?
mdp.39015032124896	Should he, on account of a sharp word, quarrel with Martial — with the only suitor who had pleased his daughter?
mdp.39015032124896	So it was with an air of suspicion that he said:"How can one believe this assurance after the avowal you have just made?"
mdp.39015032124896	So, in crossing the square, the duke paused before me and remarked:'So you are an evil- disposed person?'
mdp.39015032124896	Still what could they do?
mdp.39015032124896	Surprised them?
mdp.39015032124896	THE HONOR OF THE NAME 101 He suspected a comedy, but for whose benefit?
mdp.39015032124896	THE HONOR OF THE NAME 303"Where?"
mdp.39015032124896	THE HONOR OF THE NAME 341 Was he in earnest, or was he endeavoring to aug- ment the value of his services by refusing them?
mdp.39015032124896	THE HONOR OF THE NAME 453 But how could she ascertain what she wished to know?
mdp.39015032124896	Tell me, then, who gave you this costly furniture, these silken hangings, all the luxury that surrounds you?"
mdp.39015032124896	That certificate of marriage signed by the Cure of Vigano: what had she done with it?
mdp.39015032124896	That is a serious difficulty, and yet, in one re- spect, it is an advantage, for they station no sentinels there, do they?"
mdp.39015032124896	That is all very well; but how can you authenticate your claim to the property?
mdp.39015032124896	That which I have received?
mdp.39015032124896	The Bourbons de- prived him of his office; but what does that matter to him?
mdp.39015032124896	The duke instinctively started in pursuit, overtook one man, and seizing him by the collar, he asked, stern- ly:"Who are you?
mdp.39015032124896	The servant who had been sent to warn him — had he met him?
mdp.39015032124896	The sol- diers were very near; he ran to meet them, and address- ing the officer in command, he said, imperiously:"Do you know who I am?"
mdp.39015032124896	The thought of making her escape occurred to her; but how, and by what way could she leave the house without being seen?
mdp.39015032124896	Then angrily:"Tell this man that I will not see him, I will not see him, do you hear?"
mdp.39015032124896	Then reflecting on his own conduct toward his wife since their marriage, he said to himself:"And if she has, have I any right to complain?
mdp.39015032124896	Then turning to Chanlouineau:"What were your motives?"
mdp.39015032124896	Then turning to Maurice:"Is it not enough that for you, and through you, your father has nearly died?
mdp.39015032124896	Then what was to become of his wife and his son?
mdp.39015032124896	Then why this silence?
mdp.39015032124896	Then you have resources of which we • are ignorant?"
mdp.39015032124896	Then, in a calmer tone, she added:"If others know nothing of this, can you forget it?"
mdp.39015032124896	They sent you to play the spy on me, did they?
mdp.39015032124896	They would be defeated; he was sure of it, but what did that matter?
mdp.39015032124896	Thirty years ago, who could have foreseen that the Sairmeuse family would be deprived of their estates?"
mdp.39015032124896	Though the King was master, what I 284 THE HONOR OF THE NAME did he do?
mdp.39015032124896	To make me a present of Sairmeuse?
mdp.39015032124896	To name Baron d'Escorval to Blanche, would it not ruin and betray him?
mdp.39015032124896	To rejoin the sister of the man, whom I now recognize?"
mdp.39015032124896	To whom did it belong?
mdp.39015032124896	To whom must the charge of this investigation be intrusted?
mdp.39015032124896	Turning to her father's valet, she said:"It is not possible that anyone has attempted to in- jure my father?"
mdp.39015032124896	Under these circumstances, how could she hope to keep that secret inviolate?
mdp.39015032124896	Under what roof could he ask shelter?
mdp.39015032124896	Was he con- nected with the conspiracy?
mdp.39015032124896	Was he ill — had he gone away?
mdp.39015032124896	Was he not the friend of the Emperor?
mdp.39015032124896	Was he old or young?
mdp.39015032124896	Was he speaking seriously?
mdp.39015032124896	Was he watching Martial as he had promised?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it Chanlouineau who sent his clothing by a peasant named Poignot?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it impossible that Lache- neur, in spite of his indignation, should conclude to ac- cept honorable separation?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it not in com- pliance with the request of Maurice that the boat had been put in order?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it not the Duc de Sairmeuse?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it not the duty of Maurice to protect her when she was insulted?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it possible that he had made his escape?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it possible?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it worth while to break this engagement?
mdp.39015032124896	Was it you who sent the soldiers to the Tendezvous which Maurice d'Escorval had ap- pointed?"
mdp.39015032124896	Was not such conduct truly heroic in a man whose dazzling offers she had refused?
mdp.39015032124896	Was not the excessive misery of such a position a sufficient explanation of the strangest and wildest resolutions?
mdp.39015032124896	Was not the misfortune irreparable?
mdp.39015032124896	Was she not the richest heiress for miles and miles around?
mdp.39015032124896	Was that not a sufficiently great victory for the Duc de Sair- meuse?
mdp.39015032124896	Was the marquis returning?
mdp.39015032124896	Was this a comedy that had been prepared for their benefit?
mdp.39015032124896	We can rely upon you, can we not?"

mdp.39015032124896	Would this man, who had already given an asylum to one wounded conspirator, consent to receive an- other?
mdp.39015032124896	Would you do this?"
mdp.39015032124896	Would you have him leave these men, whom he has called from their peaceful firesides, without a leader?
mdp.39015032124896	Would you have me curse you for saving my life?"
mdp.39015032124896	Yes, or no?
mdp.39015032124896	Yet, why had he ventured so hazardous a blow?

mdp.39015032124896	You are looking for men to aid you, are you not?
mdp.39015032124896	You did not cut the ropes; but who condemned the innocent Baron d'Escorval to death?
mdp.39015032124896	You forgive me, do you not?"

mdp.39015032124896	You have heard men reproach me for what they style my prejudices, have you not?
mdp.39015032124896	You have just passed the Croix d'Arcy; did you tell any of those people what you have just told me?"

mdp.39015032124896	and how can I pull it down when it is so securely fastened to the bars?"
mdp.39015032124896	and is it you, Maurice, who counsel me thus?
mdp.39015032124896	and your brother, what will become of you?"
mdp.39015032124896	but where should she go?
mdp.39015032124896	can you not guess?"
mdp.39015032124896	d'Escorval and Marie- Anne, the abbe and Maurice, and the four officers?
mdp.39015032124896	d'Escorval;"where will you go?"
mdp.39015032124896	demanded Lacheneur eagerly;"and with whom?"
mdp.39015032124896	did she comprehend?
mdp.39015032124896	do I owe you anything?"

mdp.39015032124896	do you not understand that by com- promising yourself you also compromise Baron d'Es- corval?
mdp.39015032124896	do you wish to render all my precautions useless?""
mdp.39015032124896	do you wish to render all my precautions useless?'"

mdp.39015032124896	does he believe me his dupe?"
mdp.39015032124896	does she not understand that it is for her sake I wish to remain where I am?
mdp.39015032124896	exclaimed the baron, in utter astonish- ment;"you refuse?"
mdp.39015032124896	had it not been for her promise to Maurice, she THE HONOR OF THE NAME 441"And why?"
mdp.39015032124896	he demanded, in a husky voice;"where is the Marquis de Courtornieu?"
mdp.39015032124896	he exclaimed, addressing the three imprudent travellers,"what has induced you to return here?"
mdp.39015032124896	he exclaimed, hoarsely,"what do you intend to do?
mdp.39015032124896	he murmured,"why should I desire to live since she is dead?"
mdp.39015032124896	he said to the abbe;"is it life or is it death?"
mdp.39015032124896	he said, addressing the commis- sioners,"can you not see that the prisoner's courage does not equal his depravity?
mdp.39015032124896	he said, sav- agely,"and what do you desire?
mdp.39015032124896	he thought,"does this wretched man meditate some crime?"
mdp.39015032124896	he whispered to his wife,"do you not know that any man who shelters this fugi- tive will be shot, and his house levelled to the ground?"
mdp.39015032124896	how can I do this?
mdp.39015032124896	how could a man of your experience, a man so subtle, and penetrating, and acute, allow himself to be duped by a low, igno- rant peasant?"
mdp.39015032124896	how did it happen?"
mdp.39015032124896	how do I know, Monsieur?
mdp.39015032124896	i"To whom else could they be addressed?"
mdp.39015032124896	if what you said were true?
mdp.39015032124896	interrupted Balstain;"who contests my right, then?"
mdp.39015032124896	is Mademoiselle Lacheneur to be mar- ried?"
mdp.39015032124896	is it Lacheneur""Who is at the head of the movement?
mdp.39015032124896	is it possible that I could ever love any other than Maurice, my husband, the father of my child?"
mdp.39015032124896	my dear sir, is not my fortune yours?
mdp.39015032124896	n6 THE HONOR OF THE NAME"So you have seen the marquis, Marie- Anne?"
mdp.39015032124896	or had he found an asylum in the house of one of his friends?
mdp.39015032124896	or had the abbe measured the rope incorrectly?
mdp.39015032124896	or should they unite, and by an ob- stinate resistance, give all their comrades time to reach their homes?
mdp.39015032124896	replied the marquis,"you have the compromising letter, have you not?"
mdp.39015032124896	said he,"how dare you insult the no- blest and purest of women?
mdp.39015032124896	said he;"and from whom?
mdp.39015032124896	said he;"is not that the tall tower which one sees from a distance, and which is built on a spot where the rock is almost perpendicu- lar?"
mdp.39015032124896	said that?"
mdp.39015032124896	she asked, in her sweet voice;"what is the matter?
mdp.39015032124896	she demanded, haughtily,"and what do you desire?"
mdp.39015032124896	she faltered;"this gold was not yours, my father?
mdp.39015032124896	she gave you ten thousand francs?
mdp.39015032124896	she murmured, pressing her niece's arm;"why do you call that terrible man?"
mdp.39015032124896	sir, but how is it possible for us to leave this place?"
mdp.39015032124896	sir,"Maurice exclaimed;"have you considered the advice you offer me?

mdp.39015032124896	they cried, as soon as he was within the sound of their voices;"whence do you come in such haste?"
mdp.39015032124896	upon these frail hopes, you dare to peril the lives of hundreds of brave men?

mdp.39015063942828	Is this letter a forgery?
mdp.39015063942828	It tells you something?
mdp.39015063942828	It's about time to change, is n't it?
mdp.39015063942828	Jane,he said in a cautious voice,"are you there?"
mdp.39015063942828	Lascelles?
mdp.39015063942828	Law?
mdp.39015063942828	Mackay went to Lyons, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942828	Mackay? mdp.39015063942828 Mad?"
mdp.39015063942828	Monsieur Pichegru?
mdp.39015063942828	Monsieur thinks?
mdp.39015063942828	Mr. Mackay why did you ask me where Monsieur Pi- chegru's safe is?
mdp.39015063942828	Mrs. Eastby and her son in Enghien? mdp.39015063942828 Naething to report, I tak'it?
mdp.39015063942828	Not the room where the safe is?
mdp.39015063942828	Now, why did Anthony Cross leave the hotel and put up at the villa for the remainder of the night of the dance?
mdp.39015063942828	Professor Murgatroyd, yes?
mdp.39015063942828	Quoi?
mdp.39015063942828	Sakes alive, why do n't you say something?
mdp.39015063942828	Say, do you think I would have let Mrs. Brownlow have a walkover if I had loved the man?
mdp.39015063942828	See this wild confusion? mdp.39015063942828 Shot Brownlow?"
mdp.39015063942828	Staying with her husband? mdp.39015063942828 Suppose I were to tell ye that I'm just the new under- gairdener wi'a taste for listenin'in?"
mdp.39015063942828	Sure there's nothing else?
mdp.39015063942828	Tell me why,thundered the juge;"why did you resign from the English Law Society the morning after the murder of Sir Anthony and Mr. Brownlow?
mdp.39015063942828	That is what I ask myself,Rondeau burst out excitedly;"did she do that or did she not?
mdp.39015063942828	That means to say?
mdp.39015063942828	The use of what?
mdp.39015063942828	The — the friendship between them was of long stand- ing, hein?
mdp.39015063942828	Then how do you account for this?
mdp.39015063942828	Then why did the mother say nothing about the son's presence here?
mdp.39015063942828	Then why the devil did n't you tell me so before?
mdp.39015063942828	There was nothing out of the way, nothing that now strikes you as odd, about his coming down here?
mdp.39015063942828	Think not?
mdp.39015063942828	Three hundred pounds? mdp.39015063942828 Was he fond of dancing?"
mdp.39015063942828	Was he interested in such things?
mdp.39015063942828	Was it a final desperate effort on a mother's part to get her son into a good position, or on his own part, with her connivance? mdp.39015063942828 Was the affair never cleared up?"
mdp.39015063942828	Was your husband a violent- tempered man in private?
mdp.39015063942828	Was your master a good shot?
mdp.39015063942828	We have learned that there was no duel,he said very ness f fact?"
mdp.39015063942828	We met just outside the gate?
mdp.39015063942828	What I ask myself,Rondeau announced;"is where is the colonel?
mdp.39015063942828	What about Colonel Eastby?
mdp.39015063942828	What are you coming to the dance as?
mdp.39015063942828	What brings Cross to Cluny?
mdp.39015063942828	What clan did you say?
mdp.39015063942828	What do you think, Cambier, you are an expert on such a point?
mdp.39015063942828	What do/ draw to myself, professor?
mdp.39015063942828	What have we here? mdp.39015063942828 What have we here?"
mdp.39015063942828	What hour was this interview, pray?
mdp.39015063942828	What is a member of the Ku- Klux- Klan doing here?
mdp.39015063942828	What is your religion, mademoiselle?
mdp.39015063942828	What makes you think this belongs to those men you saw?
mdp.39015063942828	What meaning has that word in English, madam?
mdp.39015063942828	What miscreants?
mdp.39015063942828	What object would you think it was?
mdp.39015063942828	What on earth do you mean, Pointer? mdp.39015063942828 What's he like?"
mdp.39015063942828	What's'bloom'?
mdp.39015063942828	What? mdp.39015063942828 Where else could it be?"
mdp.39015063942828	Where is what?
mdp.39015063942828	Where's Sir Anthony?
mdp.39015063942828	Where's that?
mdp.39015063942828	Where's your friend, the Ku- Klux- Klan man as I called him?
mdp.39015063942828	Which window was it?
mdp.39015063942828	Who are you?
mdp.39015063942828	Whose is it?
mdp.39015063942828	Why did Mr. Lascelles come back on the quiet last night? mdp.39015063942828 Why did you give him up?
mdp.39015063942828	Why do n't you bring him up to the house,Smith sug- gested in what sounded a sociable tone;"do you know if he's any good at squash racquets?"
mdp.39015063942828	Why do you think she had a meeting with her fiance?
mdp.39015063942828	Why drag her affairs oot for general inspection? mdp.39015063942828 Why in him especially?"
mdp.39015063942828	Why should I have?
mdp.39015063942828	Why should n't I have some interest in life?
mdp.39015063942828	Why wasna it some one searching for what some ither person had dropped?
mdp.39015063942828	Will you let him have a room for the night, monsieur?
mdp.39015063942828	With no one else?
mdp.39015063942828	Would n't you give the whole of it for juist quiet under the stars?
mdp.39015063942828	Would you be so kind as to do that for us? mdp.39015063942828 Ye mean — in the Grosne?"
mdp.39015063942828	Yes?
mdp.39015063942828	You did?
mdp.39015063942828	You do n't think it was Maitland, do you?
mdp.39015063942828	You had not quarreled with him about his coming down here?
mdp.39015063942828	You have describe very closely many trifles, but you have forgotten to mention stepping over it?
mdp.39015063942828	You have forgotten the revolver?
mdp.39015063942828	You have to be bored to work, do n't you find it so?
mdp.39015063942828	You heard enough to tell you what they were talking about, doubtless?
mdp.39015063942828	You heard those actual words?
mdp.39015063942828	You know Anthony Cross?
mdp.39015063942828	You know that umbrella of mine that got mixed?
mdp.39015063942828	You mean Sir Anthony Cross? mdp.39015063942828 You mean the Mongolian Exploration Trust?"
mdp.39015063942828	You mean the museum? mdp.39015063942828 You mean to say that you can see further into these murders than the police?"
mdp.39015063942828	You mean?
mdp.39015063942828	You say Sir Anthony knew that you were coming down to Cluny, and yet he, who was also coming down here, did not accompany you?
mdp.39015063942828	You think Madam Brownlow was lying?
mdp.39015063942828	You think he's so good?
mdp.39015063942828	You think there is nothing of Maitland in all this?
mdp.39015063942828	You think thoughts can influence buildings?
mdp.39015063942828	You think you've located the blasting furnace of Brother Placidus?
mdp.39015063942828	You too, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942828	You yourself are in no danger?
mdp.39015063942828	You yourself are?
mdp.39015063942828	You're a reporter?
mdp.39015063942828	You're an American, are n't you?
mdp.39015063942828	You're certain?
mdp.39015063942828	You're one of the heads of the firm?
mdp.39015063942828	Young, fair American? mdp.39015063942828 102 THE CLUNY PROBLEMCluny,"Pointer repeated;"any connection with the Ho- tel de Cluny?"
mdp.39015063942828	134 THE CLUNY PROBLEM What did he want from me, when he thought I was'Jane'?
mdp.39015063942828	22 THE CLHNT PROBLEM While Mr. Smith and Mr. Tibbitts, who went by the same train, lost nothing?"
mdp.39015063942828	258 THE CLUNY PROBLEM"But hoo do you link up Mr. Maitland wi'a'this?"
mdp.39015063942828	56 THE CLUNY PROBLEM ery?"
mdp.39015063942828	74 THE CLUNY PROBLEM"Men?"
mdp.39015063942828	90 THE CLUNY PROBLEM on the doors?"
mdp.39015063942828	96 THE CLUNY PROBLEM J"I tak'it the mon means Scotland Yarrd?"
mdp.39015063942828	A couple of dogs. ” “ Dogs? ” “ They were asleep, ” laughed the chief inspector as he rose.
mdp.39015063942828	A dead man?
mdp.39015063942828	A duel, yes, but for another, some other rea- son?
mdp.39015063942828	An engagement may be en- 130 THE CLUNT PROBLEM tered into for reasons of, shall we say, good sense?
mdp.39015063942828	And I'll telephone Monsieur Pichegru as soon as I get home — we're one station short of Cluny — you will, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063942828	And a Mr. Davidson lost a thousand pounds in money?
mdp.39015063942828	And afterwards she had heard him step up to the other again, and say, even more quietly than usual,"You know Cluny well?"
mdp.39015063942828	And guilty all through?
mdp.39015063942828	And how did he escape recognition?"
mdp.39015063942828	And it was all a mistake, or play, or self- de- ception?
mdp.39015063942828	And since the Brownlows were"all right"and friends of Anthony's, they were sure to learn of them, unless Could she save his pride if not his heart?
mdp.39015063942828	And that that was why he seemed so devoted to us?
mdp.39015063942828	And the death of Mr. Brownlow, was that, as has been already surmised might prove to be the case, an effort to cover up the first crime?
mdp.39015063942828	And the motive?
mdp.39015063942828	And the revolver, where was it?"
mdp.39015063942828	And the son?
mdp.39015063942828	And the word'thief'?"
mdp.39015063942828	And what are you going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063942828	And what had it brought him?
mdp.39015063942828	And what had made Mr. Murgatroyd look as he did?
mdp.39015063942828	And why did he skip off before any one could question him?
mdp.39015063942828	And you had this up your sleeve all the time?
mdp.39015063942828	And you think, after that, that he would run away with her?"
mdp.39015063942828	And you, Miss Young?"
mdp.39015063942828	And your husband learned of the plan?"
mdp.39015063942828	And, why — yes, she herself — why was she here?
mdp.39015063942828	Any other questions?"
mdp.39015063942828	Anything of importance?"
mdp.39015063942828	Are they not?
mdp.39015063942828	As who would n't?
mdp.39015063942828	At the sight of his face she broke off in her exhortation to exclaim in horror,"You're not going to quit?"
mdp.39015063942828	At which hotel have you engaged rooms?"
mdp.39015063942828	Because of this woman?"
mdp.39015063942828	Brownlow?"
mdp.39015063942828	But how had that weapon got there?
mdp.39015063942828	But if not there then, how had it materialized later close to his hand?
mdp.39015063942828	But if so, had Anthony asked for an invitation for her?
mdp.39015063942828	But in any case, what can I do?
mdp.39015063942828	But in real life?"
mdp.39015063942828	But is the world any the better?
mdp.39015063942828	But is this summer- hoose safe for a crack?"
mdp.39015063942828	But otherwise?"
mdp.39015063942828	But that girl?
mdp.39015063942828	But then came the thought that Anthony's mission, or quest, was he here by some arrangement with Anthony?
mdp.39015063942828	But then, what do we understand?"
mdp.39015063942828	But then, why the whole scene?
mdp.39015063942828	But was there a gang at work?
mdp.39015063942828	But what did you learn on the telephone while I was upstairs?
mdp.39015063942828	But whom did he dread?
mdp.39015063942828	But why not come to the villa?
mdp.39015063942828	But would they meet?
mdp.39015063942828	But you do n't think it was Maitland, do you?"
mdp.39015063942828	But, as railway freights have again risen, and it will eventually have to be sent to Macon, may I suggest a little more compression than last time?
mdp.39015063942828	By some enemy?
mdp.39015063942828	By what?
mdp.39015063942828	By whoever murdered her husband and Sir An- thony?"
mdp.39015063942828	By whom, and when, and above all, why?
mdp.39015063942828	Can there be a safe in here?
mdp.39015063942828	Can you be more ex- plicit, madam?"
mdp.39015063942828	Coming in this evening, is he?
mdp.39015063942828	Could he see Mr. Smith?
mdp.39015063942828	Could she be mistaken?
mdp.39015063942828	Could this particular lamp have been overturned and it be still in the wall?
mdp.39015063942828	Could you help us to understand this?"
mdp.39015063942828	Davidson?"
mdp.39015063942828	Did he intrude on the murder — or the forgery?
mdp.39015063942828	Did he know him- self?
mdp.39015063942828	Did he think that possibly she and her son were traveling with Sir Anthony?
mdp.39015063942828	Did n't Brownlow shoot himself?
mdp.39015063942828	Did you by any chance meet an Englishman there of the name of Brownlow?"
mdp.39015063942828	Did you ever see such eyes?.
mdp.39015063942828	Did you get into the wrong train, or out of the right one, or what?"
mdp.39015063942828	Did you say a duel?"
mdp.39015063942828	Do n't tell me, Vivian Young, that you know the vamp?"
mdp.39015063942828	Do you mean to say, Mr. Mackay, that you wo n't even make any use of them?"
mdp.39015063942828	Do you suspect any one in the house?"
mdp.39015063942828	Do you think that this Monsieur Tib- bitts knew that you were about to run away with Sir Anthony Cross?"
mdp.39015063942828	Does she vamp at Cluny?
mdp.39015063942828	Eh?"
mdp.39015063942828	For surely to goodness he's what he seems?
mdp.39015063942828	For what?
mdp.39015063942828	Form any new company?"
mdp.39015063942828	Had he arrived?
mdp.39015063942828	Had he been bewitched?
mdp.39015063942828	Had he gone back to his post?
mdp.39015063942828	Had he the revolver already on him?
mdp.39015063942828	Had it been heavy?
mdp.39015063942828	Have you ever felt confident before you did a thing that you could do it?
mdp.39015063942828	Have you left poor Tibbitts locked in?"
mdp.39015063942828	He looked at her meditatively before he went on:"I suppose you're going back to Enhgien to- morrow?"
mdp.39015063942828	He spoke in very fair French, but with an accent that be- wildered the butler, who answered with a sleepy:"Monsieur desire?"
mdp.39015063942828	He would be easy to hood- wink""But the nurses, the sister, mon chef""The sisters?
mdp.39015063942828	He writes detective mysteries, and like you he's amazing good at asking questions. ” “ But- like meno good at solving them? ” Vivian was piqued.
mdp.39015063942828	Here in the villa?
mdp.39015063942828	Homicidal?"
mdp.39015063942828	Hoo aboot a collector then?
mdp.39015063942828	How could he learn of the existence of such a claim in the first place?"
mdp.39015063942828	How could she reach him?
mdp.39015063942828	How old is Baron Cross; did you learn that?"
mdp.39015063942828	I do not suppose that you know either of the dead men's faces, monsieur?"
mdp.39015063942828	I think we can all agree on that?"
mdp.39015063942828	I understand that the head clerk, Mr. Heim- brot, brought you that letter?"
mdp.39015063942828	If he was his counsel?"
mdp.39015063942828	If it were he, why had he come to Cluhy for so short a time?
mdp.39015063942828	If she knew so much, did she know more?"
mdp.39015063942828	If so, would he learn of her ar- rival here?
mdp.39015063942828	In order to keep watch on me?"
mdp.39015063942828	Is anything wrong?"
mdp.39015063942828	Is he an undertaker on his way to his mother's grave?"
mdp.39015063942828	Is it not rather calculated to make him stand still firmer to his refusal?
mdp.39015063942828	Is this the way you usually go back to England?"
mdp.39015063942828	It sounds bizarre, but have you reflected, mon chef, that Monsieur Pichegru is just the height and build of Maitre Lenormand?
mdp.39015063942828	It was Smith's voice that asked me'Is that you, Lascelles?'
mdp.39015063942828	It was for that that he had come here?"
mdp.39015063942828	It's a picture of your mother, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063942828	Join forces wi'an unmasked gairdener and re- porter?"
mdp.39015063942828	Knowell?'
mdp.39015063942828	Let us see what we can find?"
mdp.39015063942828	Looks like a pilgrim with that staff in his hand, does n't he?
mdp.39015063942828	Mackay agreed;"but whaur do I come in?"
mdp.39015063942828	May I permit myself to ask why you think that, monsieur?"
mdp.39015063942828	Mon- sieur is connected with the inquiry?"
mdp.39015063942828	Mr. Lascelles — was he here by some arrangement with Anthony?
mdp.39015063942828	Mrs. Brownlow asked;"and good dancers?"
mdp.39015063942828	Mrs. Eastby could not have produced that revolver, but what about an accomplice of hers?
mdp.39015063942828	Murgatroyd?"
mdp.39015063942828	Not so bad, considering that it consists of a couple of shawls and window curtains?"
mdp.39015063942828	Not when he was found shot?"
mdp.39015063942828	Now, then, Miss Young, ye havna spoken o'this recognition, if one cud ca'it that?"
mdp.39015063942828	Now, you get to your packing, or are you through already?"
mdp.39015063942828	Oh, Vi, why not?
mdp.39015063942828	One feels chilly after a dance, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063942828	Or rather, when?
mdp.39015063942828	Or was she?
mdp.39015063942828	Or what about Mr. Tibbitts?

mdp.39015063942828	Perhaps Miss Young would come to me?"

mdp.39015063942828	Revolver heavy?
mdp.39015063942828	Said as though in explanation or in a question?"
mdp.39015063942828	Should she wake the butler?
mdp.39015063942828	Smith asked with interest"One of the directors of the South African Dia- mond Combine?"
mdp.39015063942828	Smith?"
mdp.39015063942828	Smith?"
mdp.39015063942828	Suppose she had come on some- thing and has been spirited away because of that?
mdp.39015063942828	THE CLUNY PROBLEM 111"And when did you decide on it?"
mdp.39015063942828	THE CLUNY PROBLEM 161"Are you sure?"
mdp.39015063942828	THE CLUNY PROBLEM 225"And now,"the juge leaned forward and dropped his voice;"now, about Mrs. Eastby and Sir Anthony Cross?"
mdp.39015063942828	THE CLUNY PROBLEM 235"Tufa?"
mdp.39015063942828	THE CLUNY PROBLEM 33"Has He only one?"
mdp.39015063942828	THE CLUNY PROBLEM 45 “ Staff?
mdp.39015063942828	Terror of what?
mdp.39015063942828	That he did n't care really for either my husband or me?"
mdp.39015063942828	That's the same as Placid I sup- pose? ” Vivian said she supposed so too.
mdp.39015063942828	The mad colonel?
mdp.39015063942828	The name of the hotel?
mdp.39015063942828	The photographs have been taken and are being developed?"
mdp.39015063942828	The safer?
mdp.39015063942828	Then he asked,"Whaur's the wife?"
mdp.39015063942828	Then he broke out:"But I ask myself, what if Monsieur Tibbitts does not re- turn?
mdp.39015063942828	Then the steps of a man hurrying to her door, a tap, and the butler's voice asking: “ Is mademoiselle within?
mdp.39015063942828	Then where had that figure gone?
mdp.39015063942828	Then who was it?
mdp.39015063942828	Then why of the lassie?"
mdp.39015063942828	Then — now Rondeau, you are fond of guessing, what then?"
mdp.39015063942828	This way"They were coming in here, and she, Vivian, would be found sitting in the dark and apparently waiting — for whom?
mdp.39015063942828	Though what could the poor woman do?
mdp.39015063942828	Tibbitts asked contemptuously;"seeing the way the valley faces, it would'ave to be'ere, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063942828	Tibbitts for one — and in some way, Smith too?
mdp.39015063942828	Tibbitts?"
mdp.39015063942828	To Krasny?
mdp.39015063942828	To meet him?"
mdp.39015063942828	To what did it invite?
mdp.39015063942828	To- night?
mdp.39015063942828	To- night?"
mdp.39015063942828	Turco- Mongolian Krasny?
mdp.39015063942828	Vivian could hear the stress of utter incre- dulity on the name of the dead man,"did you say, Brownlow?"
mdp.39015063942828	Was Mackay never coming?
mdp.39015063942828	Was Sir Anthony already dead when this letter was concocted, or was he killed to prevent the inevitable discovery that it was a forgery?
mdp.39015063942828	Was he silenced by the only means that spells perpetual silence?
mdp.39015063942828	Was he the man whom Anthony expected to meet?
mdp.39015063942828	Was he to hear something that would help him?
mdp.39015063942828	Was it not tempting fate to give a house a name like that?
mdp.39015063942828	Was it possible that it was she?
mdp.39015063942828	Was it possible that she did not care for her fag to slave for other people?
mdp.39015063942828	Was it true, as the valet had been told, that he was sup- posed to have met his death in a duel over some lady down here?
mdp.39015063942828	Was it, after all, really business that was bringing him?
mdp.39015063942828	Was she guilty?
mdp.39015063942828	Was she innocent?
mdp.39015063942828	Was that a shadow, or a man, far away 26 THE CLUNY PROBLEM facing her?
mdp.39015063942828	Was that figure, do- ing so soft a sentry- go outside the cedar room, a friend?
mdp.39015063942828	Was that the way the wheel turned?
mdp.39015063942828	We 144 THE CLUHY PROBLEM know — what do we know?
mdp.39015063942828	Well, Cambier, what of that letter?"
mdp.39015063942828	What could make a woman look like that at a man?
mdp.39015063942828	What did she really think of Mrs. Brownlow?
mdp.39015063942828	What have you got to go on but her word?
mdp.39015063942828	What in the world made him look at once so fierce and so icy?
mdp.39015063942828	What is it, Chevron?"
mdp.39015063942828	What wad it be?
mdp.39015063942828	What was astir all around her?
mdp.39015063942828	What would any one have seen?
mdp.39015063942828	What would he have seen?
mdp.39015063942828	When Anthony left early next morning, would he leave alone?
mdp.39015063942828	When had she come?
mdp.39015063942828	When they THE CLUNY PROBLEM 81 were resting, he asked her again urgently:"Well, Jane, how about it?
mdp.39015063942828	Where are you making for?"
mdp.39015063942828	Where exactly did you find it?"
mdp.39015063942828	Where had Mr. Maitland been the night of the murders?
mdp.39015063942828	Where had he written?
mdp.39015063942828	Where is it?"
mdp.39015063942828	Where's the vamping then?"
mdp.39015063942828	Whereabouts do you think the balls are?"
mdp.39015063942828	Which would he do?
mdp.39015063942828	Who can say?"
mdp.39015063942828	Who is the woman?
mdp.39015063942828	Who was there at the table with us who had to be misled?"
mdp.39015063942828	Why gone, without apparently making himself known to his host?
mdp.39015063942828	Why had Mrs. Eastby said nothing about him?
mdp.39015063942828	Why not put in two or three days down here instead?
mdp.39015063942828	Why not stay for the dance on Saturday?
mdp.39015063942828	Why should he not?
mdp.39015063942828	Why then this public an- 48 THE CLUNY PROBLEM nouncement and this apparent difficulty on the husband's part to"place"the friend?
mdp.39015063942828	Why was Mr. Murgatroyd there at all at that hour?
mdp.39015063942828	Why, Vivian asked herself, was she always so interested in Mrs. Brownlow?
mdp.39015063942828	With whom was this bet?
mdp.39015063942828	Would he and she meet?
mdp.39015063942828	Would he deny it?
mdp.39015063942828	Would he think it a coincidence if he did?
mdp.39015063942828	Would his reply have been different had they been alone?
mdp.39015063942828	Would monsieur step back into the conference room?
mdp.39015063942828	You agree with me, messieurs, do you not, that the gardens tell nothing?"
mdp.39015063942828	You and Sir Cross intended then to go away together?
mdp.39015063942828	You mean three thousand?
mdp.39015063942828	You mean — you do n't mean the man who was investigating Davidson's lost money at Cluny?"
mdp.39015063942828	You tak'ma meaning?
mdp.39015063942828	You think some one has searched here — this morning?
mdp.39015063942828	You think, too, do n't you, that the'thief and the'money'and the'tufa'all referred to Brownlow?"
mdp.39015063942828	You were planning to elope last night with Sir Cross, were you not?
mdp.39015063942828	You, monsieur,"the juge turned to Mackay,"have met him; do you think he was the kind to yield to pressure?"
mdp.39015063942828	beamed Murgatroyd;"you've noticed that added arch?
mdp.39015063942828	he ejaculated warmly,"what brings you to Macon?
mdp.39015063942828	he murmured;"not yet a fox, lady, are you?
mdp.39015063942828	muttered Mackay;"but surely they wadna, I mean Brownlow wadna, ha'e shot Anthony Cross because he had tried to get him off in an auld trial?"
mdp.39015063942828	was his comment;"and yet, according to her own story, we are to believe that she stood aside and let things take their course?"
mdp.39015063942828	“ And what, pray, is a rabble? ” asked Mrs. Brownlow.
mdp.39015063942828	“ Have n't you any idea yourself about the link between those two murders, ” she asked finally?
mdp.39015063942828	“ I can hazard a guess, but whether it's right or wrong “ A guess?
njp.32101031806142	Are you the agent of Jones's Express?

njp.32101031806142	But what have I done?
njp.32101031806142	But what makes him charge me with receiving im- proper attentions from De Forest? njp.32101031806142 Could you not manage to have the money exchanged for me without my being known in the transaction?"
njp.32101031806142	Give me a ride?
njp.32101031806142	Going out to Jenkin- town?
njp.32101031806142	Has n't she? njp.32101031806142 Have yer lost summat?"
njp.32101031806142	Have you been far South?
njp.32101031806142	How dare you talk to me in this way?
njp.32101031806142	How do you do, boys?
njp.32101031806142	Josh., have you been moving the money?
njp.32101031806142	Mrs. Maroney,said he,"will you come to the garden this evening?"
njp.32101031806142	Mudder Beenk's?
njp.32101031806142	O ladies, what's the matter? njp.32101031806142 There must be something up,"thought he,"or she would not be in such a hurry to get home; what can it be?"
njp.32101031806142	Wal stranger, whar yar bound?
njp.32101031806142	Wal, stranger, whar yar bound?
njp.32101031806142	Whar are yar gwine? njp.32101031806142 What are his prospects for getting out?"
njp.32101031806142	What brought that Madam Imbert here to- night? njp.32101031806142 What do you think of it?"
njp.32101031806142	What have I done to deserve arrest?
njp.32101031806142	What kind of money was it the company lost?
njp.32101031806142	What sort of a man is he?
njp.32101031806142	What's the matter, White? njp.32101031806142 What's the matter?
njp.32101031806142	Where is Stemples?
njp.32101031806142	Where were you?
njp.32101031806142	Where?
njp.32101031806142	Who are his friends?
njp.32101031806142	Who vas das?
njp.32101031806142	Who's there?
njp.32101031806142	Why not?
njp.32101031806142	Will you?
njp.32101031806142	Yes, indeed? njp.32101031806142 You have heard of Sanford?
njp.32101031806142	'What do I know about White?'
njp.32101031806142	103 woman?
njp.32101031806142	165 him to take a wife,"But, father, whose wife shall I take?"
njp.32101031806142	19 gentlemen?
njp.32101031806142	39"But, sir, what am I to do?
njp.32101031806142	A smart, shrewd fel- low who would pick up a money package if he saw it lying handy, and dispose of it?"
njp.32101031806142	Ai n't you going to drink up?"
njp.32101031806142	Are yar a through passenger, or whar are yar gwine?"
njp.32101031806142	Are you playing false to me?
njp.32101031806142	Are you such a fool as not to know he is a tool of the Adams, and that you are acting with him?
njp.32101031806142	As he and White were walking in the hall, he said to White:"White, I wonder if it would not be a good move to try some game in my case?
njp.32101031806142	But what class was he to mix with?
njp.32101031806142	But what did he wish?
njp.32101031806142	But what good would it do?
njp.32101031806142	But what had they been doing at Alderman Williams's?
njp.32101031806142	But what would it be?
njp.32101031806142	But which one?
njp.32101031806142	Ca n't you find some way to get into the cellar?
njp.32101031806142	Come and have a drink?"
njp.32101031806142	Come and have something?"
njp.32101031806142	Did you get your money changed?"
njp.32101031806142	Do n't you know?"
njp.32101031806142	Do you know this Cox?
njp.32101031806142	Do you love me?
njp.32101031806142	Do you?"
njp.32101031806142	Have you received a package for?"
njp.32101031806142	He knew that he could get plenty of carriages in a few minutes, but by that time where would Maroney be?
njp.32101031806142	He whispered to Shanks:"What the d — l is the matter with Maroney?
njp.32101031806142	Hellow, Josh., that you?"
njp.32101031806142	How had they settled that?
njp.32101031806142	I then said:"You remember Jules Imbert, of Bills of Exchange notoriety?"
njp.32101031806142	If I were checking off packages of such large amounts I think I should be likely to look at them, do n't you?
njp.32101031806142	If you are in trouble and feel the need of a friend, why not rely on me?
njp.32101031806142	In five or ten minutes, who should come along and meet him but Mrs. Maroney, shadowed by Green?
njp.32101031806142	It is rather late for you to be out, is it not?"
njp.32101031806142	It was indeed a beautiful scene, and who could more thoroughly appreci- ate the beautiful than Simon?
njp.32101031806142	It was the season of love, and who could be more completely"in season"than was De Forest?
njp.32101031806142	It will never do for me to return without Mr. Suggs; what will my niggers think of it?
njp.32101031806142	Let me see, who was it her sister married down South?
njp.32101031806142	Mine frient,"continued he, turning to the hackman,"your peesness ish goot?
njp.32101031806142	Nein?
njp.32101031806142	No?"
njp.32101031806142	She has a sister there, has n't she?"
njp.32101031806142	She rose and closed the door, and then burst out with,"Why, Madam Imbert, have you ever heard of so foolish a man as my husband?
njp.32101031806142	She suddenly turned to Madam Imbert and asked:"Would you be willing to run away with me?
njp.32101031806142	The moments seemed to have turned to hours; when would they ever reach the city?
njp.32101031806142	The question now arose: What shall we do with Maro- ney?
njp.32101031806142	The question now was How can I find the money?
njp.32101031806142	The two negroes at once recognized each other, and Roch, in his broken way, said:"Vel, poys, vat vill you haf?"
njp.32101031806142	There was no denying but that something had happened to give him more courage, and it flashed through my mind: Has he got the money?
njp.32101031806142	Was any one with you, down here, while sister was putting the children to bed?"
njp.32101031806142	What answer should I make to the dispatch?
njp.32101031806142	What could be more natural than his selecting her and pouring into her ear the details of his-crime?
njp.32101031806142	What could we do?
njp.32101031806142	What do you do with your money, Madam Imbert?"
njp.32101031806142	What does it matter?
njp.32101031806142	What does it mean?
njp.32101031806142	What made you go up stairs and leave her here all alone?"
njp.32101031806142	What was he doing here?"
njp.32101031806142	What will not money do in this country?
njp.32101031806142	What would have been Maroney's feelings if he could have seen his wife and her gay cavalier?
njp.32101031806142	What would he now not have given to be back in his old position, free from the taint of crime, free to do as he wished?
njp.32101031806142	When can you send him?"
njp.32101031806142	Where did you hide it?"
njp.32101031806142	Where is she going?"
njp.32101031806142	White casually said:"What sort of a man is Chase?
njp.32101031806142	White scanned its contents, and said:"I suppose this is sufficient, but the question still remains: will she obey it?
njp.32101031806142	Who can it be that is writing these reports from Jenkintown?"
njp.32101031806142	Who could be a safer person than his mistress?
njp.32101031806142	Who could have spread the news?
njp.32101031806142	Who is this man you have with you?
njp.32101031806142	Who knows where De Forest comes from?
njp.32101031806142	Why are you so foolish?
njp.32101031806142	Why did he not write and consult me on the subject?
njp.32101031806142	Why have you never told me about this man?
njp.32101031806142	Will you?"
njp.32101031806142	Wonder what she'll do thar, wid no niggers to confusticate?
njp.32101031806142	You could then find your friend, and he would be willing to exchange the money for two or three thousand dollars — would n't he?
njp.32101031806142	You know the old saying:'Walls have ears?'"
njp.32101031806142	You may be of great use to me, will you help me if you can?"
njp.32101031806142	You must wait here; do n't you know you should not leave the house unguarded at this time?"
njp.32101031806142	are you sick?"
njp.32101031806142	do n't you call that a splendid cigar?"
njp.32101031806142	erners?
njp.32101031806142	have you bad news?"
njp.32101031806142	have you?"
njp.32101031806142	havyer?"
njp.32101031806142	it?
njp.32101031806142	muttered Maroney, as the thought flashed through his mind,"can he really suspect me of having stolen the money?"
njp.32101031806142	said the driver, in a patronizing tone,"yar parspectin', are yar?"
njp.32101031806142	what's the matter, Tom?"
njp.32101031806142	where does he come from?
njp.32101031806142	yelled the deputy;"do n't you know you are interfering with an officer of the law?"
njp.32101031806142	yelled up from the cellar:"That you, Rivers?
njp.32101031806142	you have found them out, have you?"
njp.32101031806142	you here?
mdp.39015059788557	Ai n't I had to listen to Bill Porter,Asey de- manded, “ moon on about that niece of yours for long's I can remember?

mdp.39015059788557	Any of you seen Bill to- night? ”. mdp.39015059788557 Any of you speak with Bill? ”"I did,"Betsey said,"I met him at the foot of the hill as I was going up to town."
mdp.39015059788557	Are you still worrying about this business? mdp.39015059788557 Blunt instrument? ” Sullivan seemed puzzled.
mdp.39015059788557	Boy to see Mr. Bill's Asey. ” “ Who is he?
mdp.39015059788557	But almost any one or anything might have done it?
mdp.39015059788557	But are they sure it was Dot? ” “ They said she had a white dress on. mdp.39015059788557 But how can you drive? ” I protested.
mdp.39015059788557	But what does it all mean, Asey? mdp.39015059788557 But what was there moody about him?"
mdp.39015059788557	But with what motive?
mdp.39015059788557	But would Betsey mind, do you think? mdp.39015059788557 Ca n't they both? ” I asked.
mdp.39015059788557	Ca n't you think of anything else about Sanborn that sort of stood out in your mind? ” Dot shook her head. mdp.39015059788557 Can I talk to that maid of yours, Miss Prue?
mdp.39015059788557	Can he do it?
mdp.39015059788557	Can you remember what he said? ”Clearly.
mdp.39015059788557	Contributed materially? mdp.39015059788557 Could n't this have been done by a tramp or some one passing by who wanted to rob him?"
mdp.39015059788557	Could n't we get detectives?
mdp.39015059788557	Could you,he asked,"blush like a girl if you tried?"
mdp.39015059788557	Crazy?
mdp.39015059788557	Did he know about anything? mdp.39015059788557 Did he say anything about Sanborn then? ”"Well, yes.
mdp.39015059788557	Did he? ” Asey asked. mdp.39015059788557 Did n't I deserve'em?
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't leave it all alone, did you? ”Hunter, the state cop, is over there."
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't see any one around the cabin yesterday out- side of Mr. Sanborn, did you? ” W 124 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY We hung on her words. mdp.39015059788557 Did n't you go in? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Did you ever see him eat any? ” She looked at him wonderingly. mdp.39015059788557 Did you hear from him? ” The doctor asked.
mdp.39015059788557	Did you pick up a man on the Provincetown road yesterday an'give him a lift to Wellfleet? ” She seemed surprised. mdp.39015059788557 Did you see any one around the cabin then? ” She looked at me appealingly.
mdp.39015059788557	Do n't you have anything but murders? ” She asked plaintively. mdp.39015059788557 Do you remember, Prudence, that little paragraph we were taught to say when we were children?
mdp.39015059788557	Do you think that this is any time to play Sche- herezade?
mdp.39015059788557	Do? mdp.39015059788557 Does, I mean, did Sanborn like sardines? ” Asey asked abruptly.
mdp.39015059788557	Dot, did you kill Sanborn?
mdp.39015059788557	Eleven? ”Ten, ” decisively.
mdp.39015059788557	Ever see her before?
mdp.39015059788557	Ever seen him before? ” “ Not that I remember. mdp.39015059788557 Gets cur'user an'cur'user, do n't it?
mdp.39015059788557	Gorgeous, is n't it?
mdp.39015059788557	Guess you found public opinion was n't goin'ť stand for nothin'like that, did n't you? ” Asey asked. mdp.39015059788557 Had you ever seen him before?"
mdp.39015059788557	Have you any word from Jimmy? ” “ Yup. mdp.39015059788557 Have you heard about all this?
mdp.39015059788557	He come on this way. ” “ What'd he look like? ”Kind of tall, dark.
mdp.39015059788557	He's got money enough to get out of this. ”How do you know about Bill Porter? ” “ Know the name. ” Schonbrun was altogether too casual.
mdp.39015059788557	Hell, ” he said disgustedly,was that the thing you poked into my back? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Hey, do you know what time Nickerson's boat come in yesterday? ”. mdp.39015059788557 How did you learn to imitate Jimmy like that?
mdp.39015059788557	How do you? ”I have n't read it.
mdp.39015059788557	How is he?
mdp.39015059788557	How long'd you known him?
mdp.39015059788557	How were you so sure about the book?
mdp.39015059788557	Huh? mdp.39015059788557 Hunter, will you go up to the Porter bouse and get him and bring him here?"
mdp.39015059788557	I cal'late it was maybe when you saw him upun in his car yesterday, was n't it? mdp.39015059788557 I go up- town. ” “ An'he did too?"
mdp.39015059788557	I see, I'll stick. ” “ Can I depend on that? ” “ I give you my word. mdp.39015059788557 I wonder if she meant to do it?"
mdp.39015059788557	I wonder,I said,"if it could have been Kurth? ”"I hope to goodness it is.
mdp.39015059788557	I'll put him in the box- car longside of Bill. ”Ai n't you goin'to let Bill go free?"
mdp.39015059788557	Il'hat about the body? ” Sullivan asked. mdp.39015059788557 In the bath house? ” Betsey repeated wonderingly,"but it ca n't be there.
mdp.39015059788557	In the what? ”In the pillory, and'twas lucky'twasn't the bilboes. ” “ But why?"
mdp.39015059788557	In the what? ”In the pillory, and'twas lucky'twasn't the bilboes. ” “ But why?"
mdp.39015059788557	Is it as bad as all that? ” She pulled a compact out of her pocket and gazed earnestly at herself. mdp.39015059788557 Is it blood and thunder, Snoodles, or gin and saw- dust?
mdp.39015059788557	Is it his very newest?
mdp.39015059788557	Is lunch at one? ”At two.
mdp.39015059788557	It had gone behind the wharf. ” “ When did you go inside? ”It was a minute or so after Miss Prudence left.
mdp.39015059788557	It is hard to remember everything, is n't it? ” Emma asked sweetly. mdp.39015059788557 Joke, huh? ” The officer eyed him truculently.
mdp.39015059788557	Kind of a car did he drive? ” Asey asked. mdp.39015059788557 Know that rowboat of Bill's, that Cape Cod dory he had built last year up to Wareham? ” “ Um. ” Mr. Bangs dusted off a glass egg.
mdp.39015059788557	Kurth, you mean? ” “ Yes, Johnny Kurth. ” CHAPTER VI COMPLICATIONSWHAT do you think about Kurth's being here?"
mdp.39015059788557	Kurth, you mean? ” “ Yes, Johnny Kurth. ” CHAPTER VI COMPLICATIONSWHAT do you think about Kurth's being here?"
mdp.39015059788557	Listen, brother, why ca n't you forget about all this? mdp.39015059788557 Look here,"I said excitedly,"was that tin opened by a key or by a can opener, does any one remember?"
mdp.39015059788557	Matter? ” said Asey. mdp.39015059788557 Miss Prudence, what do you think that man has up his sleeve? ”"Asey?
mdp.39015059788557	Miss Prudence, what do you think that man has up his sleeve? ”Asey?
mdp.39015059788557	More food? mdp.39015059788557 Mr. Schonbrun,"I asked,“have you ever seen that girl before?"
mdp.39015059788557	Mutton? mdp.39015059788557 N'en what?"
mdp.39015059788557	Now, for heaven's sakes, will you all pull yourselves together and think of THE CAPE COD MYSTERY what we ought to do? mdp.39015059788557 Now, how can we go swimming at all?
mdp.39015059788557	Of Maida? ” He was very unconcerned. mdp.39015059788557 Oh, him?
mdp.39015059788557	Play who? mdp.39015059788557 Prime Slough Sullivan's son who thinks he's greater than Philo Vance already just be- cause he is Sullivan's son?
mdp.39015059788557	Remembered who he looked like yet? ” Again she nodded. mdp.39015059788557 Reporter's cigar? ” Asey queried.
mdp.39015059788557	Right? ” “ All right, Lonzo.
mdp.39015059788557	Schooner? mdp.39015059788557 So she got mad, did she?"
mdp.39015059788557	So there might have been something in the doctor's note, the one from Kurth to Sanborn, after all? mdp.39015059788557 Speak to him?"
mdp.39015059788557	Speaking of ham, have you had your first meal at Mrs. Howe's yet? ”Not yet, alas.
mdp.39015059788557	Sure I met people on the way. ”I mean, did you talk with any one? ”"Naw,"Schonbrun looked puzzled.
mdp.39015059788557	That's Sanborn? ” Emma stiffened beside me, and I heard Betsey gasp. mdp.39015059788557 The old geezer blinked and said,'Who?'
mdp.39015059788557	Then you have Kurth and Maida and this hobo who might be the brother all sort of nibbling at the cheese, have n't you?
mdp.39015059788557	Voilà, or is it voici? mdp.39015059788557 Wanti'it? ” “ You hicks is muley.
mdp.39015059788557	Was n't that clever of her? ” “ What? ” Asey and I looked at each other in aston- ishment. mdp.39015059788557 Was n't that clever of her? ” “ What? ” Asey and I looked at each other in aston- ishment.
mdp.39015059788557	Was there any one on the tennis courts when you was down there, Dot?
mdp.39015059788557	Was, was he? mdp.39015059788557 Well, AT THE HERMIT'S HUT 173 are you goin'to come along an'see if you can get what's comin'to you?
mdp.39015059788557	Well, Miss Whitsby, will you come along with us? mdp.39015059788557 Well, if I come with you, you wo n't get me mixed up in this? ”"Do n't see as how we can anyhows, less'n you was mixed up in it to begin with.
mdp.39015059788557	Well, just as he was driving off he said what did he miss for dinner? mdp.39015059788557 Well, that's that. ” “ Show it to Bill? ” Asey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	Well, we got on, she worked an? mdp.39015059788557 Well, what makes you think your brother pretended to be dead? ”"I'll tell you the way I figured it out.
mdp.39015059788557	Well, where were you? ”I was staying with friends in Hyannis. ” She turned to me.
mdp.39015059788557	Well, why do n't you go over to that little camping place next to Bangs'house, where he has the cottages to let overnight? mdp.39015059788557 Well, you know last week I took the corner of the garage door off, backing out? ” 164 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY “ With your cream jug?"

mdp.39015059788557	Well, ” said Asey,what d'you think?"
mdp.39015059788557	What about Bill?
mdp.39015059788557	What about the sardine tin? ” I asked. mdp.39015059788557 What about us, Asey?
mdp.39015059788557	What about you? ” Asey turned to Maida. mdp.39015059788557 What are you going to do about the bath house and your mystery there? ”"Oh, yes.
mdp.39015059788557	What are you two looking so puzzled about? mdp.39015059788557 What on earth, ” I asked him, “ do you expect to do with that fancy dress?
mdp.39015059788557	What were his favorite foods? mdp.39015059788557 What's up?"
mdp.39015059788557	What, ” Emma asked,is all that for?
mdp.39015059788557	What? ” I asked. mdp.39015059788557 What?"
mdp.39015059788557	Where are you going? ” I asked. mdp.39015059788557 Where's Bill? ” Sullivan demanded.
mdp.39015059788557	Who brought it?' mdp.39015059788557 Who d’you suppose did it?"
mdp.39015059788557	Who'd you suppose I saw going by here a minute ago? mdp.39015059788557 Why did n't you tell him about things? ” Emma asked.
mdp.39015059788557	Why, ” I asked with some asperity,leave a sardine tin behind and take away a hammer? ” Sullivan told us why at some length.
mdp.39015059788557	Yeah? ” Emma put down her knitting. mdp.39015059788557 You did n't know we were the characters?
mdp.39015059788557	You did n't see him again? mdp.39015059788557 You do n't deny that Dale Sanborn was your brother, do you? ” Schonbrun looked at him quickly.
mdp.39015059788557	You do n't put any stock in these notes and in the ring, then?
mdp.39015059788557	You found out too? mdp.39015059788557 You know the Cutlers, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” I said.
mdp.39015059788557	You see that piece of wrapper that's still on the bot- tom? mdp.39015059788557 You're real funny, ai n't you?
mdp.39015059788557	You've never seen the brother before? ”I never knew he existed. ” She gave a little sigh.
mdp.39015059788557	'Did you take this from the story of Rose and my husband?'
mdp.39015059788557	'I have a genteel sufficiency, thank you, more would be a super- fluous redundancy'?
mdp.39015059788557	'Is there any reason in the world why your husband should not prove a source of income to me after he is dead as well as when he was alive?'
mdp.39015059788557	'Who left this here?'
mdp.39015059788557	110 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY"Did you go off it, or go indoors? ” “ Both. ” “ S’pose you tell us. ” Asey suggested.
mdp.39015059788557	134 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY"Where? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015059788557	180 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY"Naw, I did n't kill him, but I ai n't got any proof. ”"Well, did you see anybody around the place when you left?"
mdp.39015059788557	200 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY “ Then? ” Asey prompted.
mdp.39015059788557	258 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY"Had n't you better tell us right now, Miss Waring?"
mdp.39015059788557	28 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY “ Is n't that a warm occupation for these days?"
mdp.39015059788557	306 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY"Where's that new book of Mr. Sanborn's? ” Asey asked quietly.
mdp.39015059788557	86 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY “ Any one you remember as being sort of strange?"
mdp.39015059788557	A mass hanging?"
mdp.39015059788557	Abe, are you goin'to stay put too? ”"Yeah. ”"Well, Mr. Kurth, I'll make you responsible for Abe anyhow.
mdp.39015059788557	About the girl who loved a man who is married to a woman who loved a man who cared for the first gid?"
mdp.39015059788557	All the in'cent bystanders ai n't got killed off in Chicago, I cal'late. ” “ Will you keep your gab quiet, Asey Mayo?
mdp.39015059788557	An you say it was — how much longer after five you seen this flash of white, Abe?"
mdp.39015059788557	An ’ see that glarey look?
mdp.39015059788557	An ’ you said to yourself that you was kind of a chump to beat it as quick as you had?
mdp.39015059788557	An'I thought you come back on the tail of a truck. ”"Did I say that?
mdp.39015059788557	An'Miss Whitsby?
mdp.39015059788557	An'did n't you never read in the Bible about lookin'a gift hoss in the mouth?
mdp.39015059788557	An'do you know what?
mdp.39015059788557	An'he kept right on headed this way?"
mdp.39015059788557	An'how was I to know that even this bum sheriff could track'em down?
mdp.39015059788557	An'if you tell me any lies I'll put you both in the stocks longside of Bill. ” “ What about me?"
mdp.39015059788557	An'if you'd stop bein'nasty, who knows but what you might get some of it?
mdp.39015059788557	An'it was full of groceries, see?"
mdp.39015059788557	An'just as I was finishin'I heard him comin', so I tossed the tin way under the table so's he would n't notice it, see?
mdp.39015059788557	An'now are you goin'to answer some ques- tions an'get somethin'out of it, or ai n't you?"
mdp.39015059788557	An'now, Miss Whitsby, did n't you want some tickets for the Temp’- rance Union garden party?
mdp.39015059788557	An'that angle to the way his head's held?
mdp.39015059788557	An'then he went an ’ put Bill in the pillory. ” “ What pillory?
mdp.39015059788557	An'then when the things is all settled, you hand me over the money then, see? ” “ Reckon not, ” said Asey, shaking his head.
mdp.39015059788557	An'we just got to get the one who did it before anything more happens to Bill. ”"Did you let Jimmy know?"
mdp.39015059788557	An'what I want to know is, why did n't you say something about it before? ”"I knew you was tryin'to get me mixed up, ” said Schonbrun angrily.
mdp.39015059788557	An'what do you think I found out when I got well an'out of the hospital?
mdp.39015059788557	An'you did n't even notice Bill's car goin'up the beach road? ” “ That's right.
mdp.39015059788557	And Bill Porter is another addict of them, is n't he? ” I nodded.
mdp.39015059788557	And Dale Sanborn was n't running after me. ” “ That so?
mdp.39015059788557	And did Bill do it?
mdp.39015059788557	And do n't you remember he sent us a bill next day and how we thought it was awfully large?
mdp.39015059788557	And do n't you think you two better save gasoline an'leave detectin'to those that make it a busi- ness?"
mdp.39015059788557	And how will you make him stay? ” “ Sufficient unto the day is the deed thereof, as the feller used to say.
mdp.39015059788557	And how would any one know, besides?"
mdp.39015059788557	And is n't it a pity about poor Mr. Sanborn?
mdp.39015059788557	And it seems strange that after asking to come down he should n't let us know, or at least come and call on us, do n't you think? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	And then Miss Betsey said she'd like to kill him herself. ” “ What was it all about, Betsey? ” I pleaded.
mdp.39015059788557	And was n't he a classmate of Jimmy Porter?"
mdp.39015059788557	And what are you after at the bath house?"
mdp.39015059788557	And what did Mr. Mayo bump into?"
mdp.39015059788557	And what do you suppose that man did?"
mdp.39015059788557	And what is it?"
mdp.39015059788557	And where is he? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	And why SULLIVAN FINDS THE HAMMER 129 should a tramp kill him?
mdp.39015059788557	And why did n't he have the wit to say he did n't know nothing about it when Slough asked him?
mdp.39015059788557	And why did n't you tell me that Dale Sanborn was here?
mdp.39015059788557	And why does n't Kurth's wife sign herself with her full name? ” “ Lucy Stone league, ” I extemporized.
mdp.39015059788557	And why had he not told me?
mdp.39015059788557	And why? ” Betsey, who never rose before half past ten, stood in the doorway, sleepy- looking but completely dressed.
mdp.39015059788557	And why? ”"Well, it seems like we did n't ever really suspect her, what with her makin'curtains an'darnin'our socks an'all.
mdp.39015059788557	And will you please tell me in the name of all that's sensible how you can arrest me for being an accomplice of Bill?"
mdp.39015059788557	And you should hear what he said. ” “ What'd he say?
mdp.39015059788557	Answer me that?
mdp.39015059788557	Any one else see him? ” “ We all did,"I said.
mdp.39015059788557	Anyways, Rider says it's dollars to doughnuts he'll be back this way to- night. ” “ When?

mdp.39015059788557	Betsey will look after it, wo n't you? ” Kurth hesitated.
mdp.39015059788557	Betsey, what was there in that rumble seat of Lucinda's when you all come back from the store?
mdp.39015059788557	Bill Porter did n't do it, did he? ”"We do n't think so,"I said, “ but it's a curious affair all around. ”"How was he killed?
mdp.39015059788557	Bill Porter did n't do it, did he? ”"We do n't think so,"I said, “ but it's a curious affair all around. ”"How was he killed?
mdp.39015059788557	Body's over at the cabin? ”"Yes."
mdp.39015059788557	But Asey, if there was the other brother, why did the mother starve to death?
mdp.39015059788557	But I do hope you're not insinuating, Emma Manton, that I killed that man? ”"No.
mdp.39015059788557	But I guess you would n't tell if you had seen any one, would you? ” Schonbrun's pig- eyes twinkled.
mdp.39015059788557	But I'm goin'to give it to you from A to Z an'you can take it for what it's worth. ”"A parable? ” Emma suggested.
mdp.39015059788557	But a deathly pallor came over his face as Asey looked at him and said gently,"Why did n't you say, so before, Abe?"
mdp.39015059788557	But anyways, there was n't no wrappin'on him when I saw him. ”"See any one when you left the cottage the second time?"
mdp.39015059788557	But ca n't you see how it was?
mdp.39015059788557	But could n't this still be the one? ”"It could, ” I said.
mdp.39015059788557	But does he use it?
mdp.39015059788557	But does she cry for heat relief like so many politicians crying for drought relief?
mdp.39015059788557	But have n't you been bothered to death by reporters and people? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	But it would seem to shoot her story full of holes like a target, would n't it?"
mdp.39015059788557	But it's no use, and I might as well. ” “ What d’you mean?"
mdp.39015059788557	But no one knows for sure. ”"Has n't any attempt been made to find out?"
mdp.39015059788557	But perhaps it's better all around. ”"How did you know? ” Betsey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	But things do look bad for old Bill, do n't they? ” Emma stifled a yawn.
mdp.39015059788557	But we can make sure. ”"How?"
mdp.39015059788557	But we'll find out about Dot, though. ” “ And do you think the hobo was Kurth? ”"Do n't know.
mdp.39015059788557	But what good is it for you to have his car?
mdp.39015059788557	But you do n't think it was anything else, do you? ”"Do n't know.
mdp.39015059788557	But you know I said that there was others that would kill that guy in a minute?
mdp.39015059788557	But you wo n't mention it to any one else, will you?
mdp.39015059788557	But, Dot, do n't you know nothin'about his family?"
mdp.39015059788557	But, say, did that girl know my brother? ”"She was engaged to marry him. ”"I asked because she might of thought I was him or something.

mdp.39015059788557	Could n't you have snuck over to the cabin then? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Could she have given it to him before?"
mdp.39015059788557	Did any one pick it up the way Bill picked up the hammer? ” “ I'm sure I do n't know.
mdp.39015059788557	Did he come from New York?"
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't I watch her eat those edibles done in oils for four years?
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't any one ask if they could come to see you for the week- end? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't he give any explanation?"
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't remind you of any one ever you saw visitin'Miss Prue? ”"No."
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't she kill herself or something?"
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't she leave a note? ”"Those letters she brought down last night,"Dot said excitedly.
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't you come an'take me away by force when I was n't doin'anything but mindin'my business like a good citizen?".
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't you hear nothin'about the murder?"
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't you see him go? ”"No.
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't you see it?"
mdp.39015059788557	Did n't you see that feller in the pillory?
mdp.39015059788557	Did she give it to you, or did you steal it? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Did she remember the number of Mr. Brown's car?
mdp.39015059788557	Did they watch you when you went off? ” “ Yes; they saw me meet Bill at the foot of the lane."
mdp.39015059788557	Did you ask'em down or did they wangle an invitation off you? ” “ We asked them,"I said indignantly.
mdp.39015059788557	Did you ever read any of Sanborn's books, Snoodles? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Did you ever stop to think, Miss Prue, if all the people in this world who had enemies killed'em off?
mdp.39015059788557	Did you ever think how much com- pet'tion they'd be to kill some folks, or how many'd they be left?
mdp.39015059788557	Did you hear it be- fore or after you looked into the window? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Did you see the crowd up- town? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Do n't he usually drop in when he's over this way? ” I admitted that he usually did.
mdp.39015059788557	Do n't some of your friends remind you of other people? ”"I suppose they do,"I admitted.
mdp.39015059788557	Do n't that seem kind o'funny to you?"
mdp.39015059788557	Do n't you think that most people have some one thing they loathe in the line of food?
mdp.39015059788557	Do you follow me?"
mdp.39015059788557	Do you still drive it? ”"Even now, ” Betsey answered for him.
mdp.39015059788557	Do you suppose I have to use one napkin all week? ”"You most assuredly do,"I told him.
mdp.39015059788557	Do you suppose that the brother is a labor agitator too?"
mdp.39015059788557	Do you suppose the woman she told us about, the one in the settlement house, was Sanborn's mother? ”"Kind of looks that way."
mdp.39015059788557	Do you think he's lyin'?"
mdp.39015059788557	Do you think so? ”"I have n't a doubt of it now, if what you say is true, have you, Asey?"
mdp.39015059788557	Do you think so? ”"I have n't a doubt of it now, if what you say is true, have you, Asey?"
mdp.39015059788557	Does this perfectly well- run house possess a A QUIET EVENING AT HOME 20 hammer?
mdp.39015059788557	Dot, is your last story right, too? ”"Yes, Asey.
mdp.39015059788557	Dot, will you be all right here alone?"
mdp.39015059788557	D’you suppose the creature has gone and dashed out into the night? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	Get me? ” Schonbrun nodded.
mdp.39015059788557	Get that hand stuck up to bang something home?
mdp.39015059788557	Give yourself away, din'you? ”"I did n't give myself away, see?
mdp.39015059788557	Give yourself away, din'you? ”"I did n't give myself away, see?
mdp.39015059788557	Had I better keep it and turn it over to his heirs if they come down here, do you think?"
mdp.39015059788557	Had one of these whose alibis had not been proved done it?
mdp.39015059788557	Has Ginger been fed and looked after to- day, or has n't he?
mdp.39015059788557	Has any one found the ring?"
mdp.39015059788557	Has any one seen it?"
mdp.39015059788557	Has the brother come to his hut?
mdp.39015059788557	Have any particular reason for killin'him?"
mdp.39015059788557	Have you any brandy in the house?
mdp.39015059788557	Have you found out anything yet? ” Asey shook his head.
mdp.39015059788557	Have you found the little pin you lost, the one with your initials on it yet? ” Maida looked from Asey to me and back again.
mdp.39015059788557	Have you got all that straight? ” Mike nodded.
mdp.39015059788557	Have you second sight or some- thing like that?"
mdp.39015059788557	Have you seen Bill? ” Betsey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	Have you seen the papers?
mdp.39015059788557	Have you the note with you? ” The doctor passed it over, and Kurth read it through thoughtfully.
mdp.39015059788557	He closed one eye and opened it slowly"State police headquarters? ” he asked in Jimmy Por- ter's precise clipped tones.
mdp.39015059788557	He did n't tell you he was comin'anyway, did he? ”"No, he did n't.
mdp.39015059788557	He must have left when I was inside. ” “ So you picked up the glasses and went walkin'down to the tennis courts to see a boat?
mdp.39015059788557	He thinks it's a fine idea, so he ups and does. ”"You mean to say that he put Bill Porter in the pillory for every one to see and throw things at?"
mdp.39015059788557	He thinks this'll bring me into a repentant frame of mind. ”"Had anything to eat?"
mdp.39015059788557	He was dead. ”"And what did you do?"
mdp.39015059788557	He was n't at the movies, I think you said, Betsey?"
mdp.39015059788557	He'd probably pull a fake marriage an'then ditch her. ”"What makes you think so? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	He's staying there now that Simpkins has taken the body away, seeing that no one ransacks the cabin. ”"How can I tell you ai n't primed him?"
mdp.39015059788557	How about down on the beach?"
mdp.39015059788557	How did it slip into your pocket?
mdp.39015059788557	How did you find out?
mdp.39015059788557	How did you know it was mine? ” I explained that Asey and I had been doing some detecting on our own account.
mdp.39015059788557	How did you know that? ”"You said you heard a noise on Saturday night.
mdp.39015059788557	How did you know?"
mdp.39015059788557	How do you expect to get him? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	How do you know? ”"He does n't know,"I retorted.
mdp.39015059788557	How do you like Dale Sanborn's book?"
mdp.39015059788557	How many masts did it have?
mdp.39015059788557	How many other bags was there? ”"Two or three, anyway."
mdp.39015059788557	How much does she weigh? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	How much would it take to make you tell?
mdp.39015059788557	How'd he ever land in the town? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	How'd they know he was killed?
mdp.39015059788557	How'd you come?"
mdp.39015059788557	How'll we choose? ” “ The usual way will do as well as any."
mdp.39015059788557	How's that? ” Schonbrun laughed.
mdp.39015059788557	How's the head, Asey?
mdp.39015059788557	Howe, did n't you ask her name? ”"Well, I did the best's I could without seeming rude.
mdp.39015059788557	Huh?
mdp.39015059788557	Huh?"
mdp.39015059788557	Hunter will stay there till morning or until we can get an undertaker. ” “ Who is Slough?"
mdp.39015059788557	I ca n't see it. ”"How do you know she did n't?
mdp.39015059788557	I came by foot the rest of the way and walked up the other side of the hill. ” “ Been there before ever?".
mdp.39015059788557	I did n't touch the road till I come out nearly on the main street. ” “ Was there a path? ” “ A sort of a one."
mdp.39015059788557	I did n't want to get into a fuss so I beat it. ”"Did n't find anything on your way to the cabin, did you? ” “ Find anything?
mdp.39015059788557	I did n't want to get into a fuss so I beat it. ”"Did n't find anything on your way to the cabin, did you? ” “ Find anything?
mdp.39015059788557	I do n't know about such things, but should n't some one go and stay till the doctor or sheriff gets here?
mdp.39015059788557	I do n't know how or where or why, but that's what happened. ” “ But what does all that prove? ” Kurth demanded.
mdp.39015059788557	I do n't reckon Bill'll do much sleepin', but it sure ought to teach him a lesson, all this. ” “ Where do I bunk? ” Schonbrùn asked.
mdp.39015059788557	I do n't remember who, though. ” “ Could it have been Dale Sanborn? ” Maida rose from her chair.
mdp.39015059788557	I do n't suppose you'd care to play some bridge? ”"With two sharks like you and Snoodles?
mdp.39015059788557	I do n't suppose you'd care to play some bridge? ”"With two sharks like you and Snoodles?
mdp.39015059788557	I got jailed in Taunton an'I got out only last week, see?
mdp.39015059788557	I guess he did n't hear me though. ”"Whom, ” I accented the pronoun slightly,"did you see? ” “ There, there, Snoodles.
mdp.39015059788557	I had an idea you did n't hold with love and things like that?"
mdp.39015059788557	I had my engagement ring on a chain around my neck and I made up my mind to give it back to him. ”"Did you? ” Asey reached for a popover.
mdp.39015059788557	I just ran out of the cabin and tore back as fast as I could. ”"How long were you over there?"
mdp.39015059788557	I kind of thought that if Kurth had got mad at one book, maybe she had at another. ” “ But this business of it's being in the bath house?
mdp.39015059788557	I left Joe Bump there for to watch out. ”"What good will the village idiot do? ” Betsey de- manded.
mdp.39015059788557	I mean about the sardines and all?".
mdp.39015059788557	I never really knew till yesterday, see? ” He lighted a cigarette with his free hand.
mdp.39015059788557	I say, Snoodles, where's the key? ” “ Just where you left it. ” “ But it is n't.
mdp.39015059788557	I stayed up in my room till I heard Betsey come back from town. ” “ What were you doin'all the while? ”"I was lying on my bed resting.
mdp.39015059788557	I thought I saw one by the crossroads at the station. ”"You mean the one who directed traffic with a rolled- up newspaper?
mdp.39015059788557	I told Bill Porter about it once myself. ” “ Why,"the doctor inquired mildly,"do n't you get Bill up here and ask him a few questions?
mdp.39015059788557	I told you so. ”"What's that got to do with this here libel suit? ” “ Coming back from China, ” Kurth answered,"I met ice.
mdp.39015059788557	I was n't huntin'for anything else. ” “ Got any proof he was alive when you left him?"
mdp.39015059788557	I was only citing a possibility. ”"I wonder who the hobo was? ” Betsey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	I was too intent on looking at the boat. ” DOT BECOMES INVOLVED 111"Kind of a boat was it? ” Asey asked quickly.
mdp.39015059788557	I was up here to this end o'town Friday night. ” “ Was, was you?"
mdp.39015059788557	I wonder if he had a hunch his brother was n't dead an'was tryin'to find out by goin'after him that way?"
mdp.39015059788557	I wonder if she still burbles with adjectives. ”"You mean,"Betsey imitated her, “ My dear, it's too simply precious and marvelous for words?
mdp.39015059788557	If Bill thought Sanborn was oily, I'd like to know what he'd think of the brother. ” “ Do you suspect him?"
mdp.39015059788557	If Sanborn would n't let Dot have sardines, is it likely that he would let any one else eat them in his cabin?
mdp.39015059788557	If he does, I shall let you know, I suppose?
mdp.39015059788557	If it did n't, why ai n't it here?
mdp.39015059788557	In some one's fish net out in the harbor?"
mdp.39015059788557	Is it Bill Porter's?
mdp.39015059788557	Is n't it about time for the girls to be coming back?"
mdp.39015059788557	Is n't it possible that Sanborn might have been out while the eating was taking place? ”"Might be,"Asey said.
mdp.39015059788557	Is n't that a pretty car?
mdp.39015059788557	Is n't there a policeman up- town?
mdp.39015059788557	Is the boy crazy?"
mdp.39015059788557	It always had before. ”"You'd had fights with him before? ” Asey questioned.
mdp.39015059788557	It do n't stop a couple of feet away like in cars to- day, see?"
mdp.39015059788557	It does n't look that way at all. ” “ Will there be an inquest?"
mdp.39015059788557	It is the hammer, is n't it? ” 146 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY “ I do n't know.
mdp.39015059788557	It just got more and more involved all the time. ” “ What about the other girl? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	It says D. S. to D. C. Are n't those the initials of Betsey's friend? ” CHAPTER X THE OTHER HAMMER IS EXPLAINED For a minute we were silent.
mdp.39015059788557	It was when I bit my tongue, do you remember, Dot?"
mdp.39015059788557	It's his business, ai n't it?
mdp.39015059788557	It's the big house with the gold dome, is n't it?"
mdp.39015059788557	Likely, ai n't it, Asey?
mdp.39015059788557	Little things like what subjects he got int’rested in an'things like that? ” Dot thought a minute.
mdp.39015059788557	Lots of spooners. ”"Notice a Packard tourin'?"
mdp.39015059788557	MAIDA PAYS A CALL 257 “ Where did you find it?
mdp.39015059788557	MAIDA PAYS A CALL 261 “ Will you listen to me? ” Asey spoke in a quarter- deck voice.
mdp.39015059788557	Maida had a friend, Alice Harding, and the four of us ran around together a lot. ”"Alice Harding?"
mdp.39015059788557	May we? ”"You might as well.
mdp.39015059788557	Miss Prue, how did that sea- horse get bunged up last night? ”"Head's all better, ” said Asey.
mdp.39015059788557	Miss Prue, where was you durin'the time the doc said this happened? ” I related the story of Olga and the silverware.
mdp.39015059788557	Mr. Kurth, will you wait up a minute?
mdp.39015059788557	My dear, did I tell you I had seen Charlotte Waite?
mdp.39015059788557	Never saw a man so wantin'to be in the thick of things as he is. ” “ What's on the docket now? ” Schonbrun asked.
mdp.39015059788557	No, I do n't think any of'em done it. ”"Then who did?"
mdp.39015059788557	Not two seconds ago. ” “ What did she discover?".
mdp.39015059788557	Now what I want to know is, what about that there libel suit?
mdp.39015059788557	Now what do you suppose can have happened to it?
mdp.39015059788557	Now, Dot, you was on the porch? ” “ Yes. ” “ All the time?"
mdp.39015059788557	Now, Dot, you was on the porch? ” “ Yes. ” “ All the time?"
mdp.39015059788557	Now, Mrs. Manton, where was you? ”"I went up- stairs a few seconds after Mr. Sanborn came, earlier in the afternoon.
mdp.39015059788557	Now, Prudence, just what is all this about?"
mdp.39015059788557	Now, Schonbrun, what about you?
mdp.39015059788557	Now, ai n't that a likely bit to give for an explanation?
mdp.39015059788557	Now, as I remember, was n't that the name of the woman Kurth married? ” I told him that it was.
mdp.39015059788557	Now, do you think that there might be anything in those notes?
mdp.39015059788557	Now, question is, where'd they jounce out?
mdp.39015059788557	Now, that's all straight, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015059788557	Now, we'll go to Stocktons an'check up on your cook. ” “ What motive,"I asked,"would Kurth have for killing Sanborn?

mdp.39015059788557	“ Anyway,"Sullivan continued, “ Sanborn says why did n't she tell them and see what happens?
mdp.39015059788557	“ As you like, as you like. ” “ How's Bill?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Asey Mayo,"I demanded,"did he really do it?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Asey, do you suppose that that hobo was the brother, and not Kurth?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Back again? ” Emma asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ But I do n't suppose you'd object if I were to ask Mr. Kurth a question or two?
mdp.39015059788557	“ But how did you know it was Emma and Henry Edward?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ But if that woman turns up again will you see we find out about it before she has time to leave?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ But what about the sardine tin?
mdp.39015059788557	“ But what do you think about this business, Asey?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ But what does that lead to?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ But, ” I asked, “ have you and Mr. Schonbrun signed enough of a peace treaty for you to be sure that he's telling the truth now?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Can we go too?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Could a hammer have done it? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did every one know it was you? ”"No one knew for sure.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did he know anything, Miss Prue?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did n't tell you why he did n't want you to have sardines, did he? ”"No."
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did she talk as though she knew him well, or did she tell you her name? ” Asey demanded.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did we forget'em, Snoodles? ” She was contrite.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did you shut the kitchen door? ” I asked suddenly.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Did, did you?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do n't you suppose there would be something in them? ” Betsey ran to the desk.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you expect to fit the four of us, including me, into that — that thing you call a car?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you have Lucinda even now?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you mean to tell me that this is the way you reward us for all we did for you?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you mean?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you think Bill Porter killed him? ”"No; what time did Sanborn leave? ” Asey asked shortly.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you think Bill Porter killed him? ”"No; what time did Sanborn leave? ” Asey asked shortly.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Do you think that that had anything to do with the murder? ” Idly Sullivan picked it up and examined it.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Dot?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Everything like you saw it? ” Sullivan asked me.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Guess I have, at that. ” “ When you goin'to start up to court to- morrer?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Have you got it? ” Asey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ His name is Sullivan, ”"And you have n't a telephone?
mdp.39015059788557	“ How could you have picked it up an'not known about it?
mdp.39015059788557	“ How did you know so well how to get there, then? ” “ Truth is, ” said Kurth haltingly,"I drove out along here earlier in the day.
mdp.39015059788557	“ How long was you in there? ” “ About five minutes."
mdp.39015059788557	“ How many times he been in jail?
mdp.39015059788557	“ How'd you know? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	“ How?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ I mean, why did n't he leave him where he killed him?
mdp.39015059788557	“ I still do n't understand. ”"Do you mind if I ask you more? ” Asey wanted to know.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Is it the truth, feller? ”"Gospel, ” said Schonbrun.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Jeese, you ai n't such a fool, are you? ”"Only on the outside.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Killed? ” Emma repeated.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Kind of a lot, was n't it?".
mdp.39015059788557	“ Known him long? ” Betsey asked Dot.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Moody? ” I asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ None of you seen him since?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Now, Miss Whitsby, how long did he stay over to Sanborn's while he was paying this call? ”"I could n't say.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Now, can I talk to that hired girl of yours?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Now, you horse thieves, ” said Emma, “ what's the meaning of all this? ” Asey enlightened them about Kurth.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Oh, I went inside to get a cigarette and then I strolled down by the tennis courts. ” “ Be a little mite more exact, will you?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Price too high?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Recognize this, Miss Whitsby?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Say, ” Asey remarked as we were leaving,"you did n't happen to notice the number of his car, did you? ”"No, I did n't.
mdp.39015059788557	“ See any one else around there? ”"Not that I know of,"I answered,"unless Olga saw some one.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Seems kind of funny, do n't it?
mdp.39015059788557	“ So you went an'divorced yourselves without gettin'at the root of things? ” Asey asked disgustedly.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Something else you had to ask about, Doc?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Start out where?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Sure you did n't? ” “ Say, I was huntin'a guy I thought was my brother.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Tell me, did you ever find out what the woman's name was? ” • 122 THE CAPE COD MYSTERY"No.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Tell me,"Emma asked,"this is more serious for Bill than we have thought, is n't it?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ That could n't be Dale, could it?
mdp.39015059788557	“ That dumb feller Sherlock Holmes was always COMPLICATIONS 101 totin'around?
mdp.39015059788557	“ That so?
mdp.39015059788557	“ The hermit?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Then I guess it was her ring all right, do n't you? ”"I do n't think that there's any doubt of it, ” I said.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Then you just went into the living- room an'down to the tennis courts an'back again an'then out into the kitchen?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Then you was out in the kitchen all the time?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ They did n't come here, did they, Miss Prue? ” I took my cue.
mdp.39015059788557	“ They made you head of the Pinkertons or something?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Think?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Throw in oars an'rowlocks? ”"Yup, as long's you pay cartin'. ” Abruptly Mr. Bangs laid down his broom and de- parted into the house.

mdp.39015059788557	“ Was n't it just, Mrs. Manton?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Was that goin'down or comin'back?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Well, for the love of heaven,"exclaimed Asey, “ who in time was he like anyway?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Well, supposin'I have, and what then? ”"Nothin','cept he's dead. ”"Jeese, I know that.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Well, that does n't help Bill any, all this, does it?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Well, what of it?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Well, what time do you think he was killed? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Well,"I remarked to Asey,"I wonder what that means? ” Asey wondered too.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What about'em? ” Asey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What are you doing here? ” He rushed to her and took her in his arms.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What can we do for you? ” Asey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What did you tell him?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ What do you mean, platinum? ” I asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What do you mean?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ What is the matter? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What shall we do first, Asey? ”"Well, I cal'late we're goin'to find out more about this Sanborn man.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What time was it when you come back?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ What was the matter, Asey? ” Bill asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What you goin'to do with me? ”.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What you talkin'about? ” “ Why did n't you tell us before that this sardine tin was so all- fired important? ” “ Whyn't I tell you?

mdp.39015059788557	“ What's a medical examiner?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ What's it to you? ” He met Asey's gaze.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What's that got to do with the price o'beans? ” “ Nawthin'much."
mdp.39015059788557	“ What's that?"

mdp.39015059788557	“ What?
mdp.39015059788557	“ What? ” The six of us spoke like a carefully trained Greek chorus.
mdp.39015059788557	“ What? ”"Yup.

mdp.39015059788557	“ What?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ What?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ When'd you find it out? ” Asey demanded, “ Oh, I do n't know."
mdp.39015059788557	“ Where do you usually begin?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Where in blazes did she find it? ”"Out by the garbage hole, beyond the beach grass."
mdp.39015059788557	“ Where is it?"
mdp.39015059788557	“ Where you goin'now? ” Asey asked.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Where'd you get that?"

mdp.39015059788557	“ Why do n't you two break down and tell Emma and me all? ”"Might as well, I reckon, if it do n't go no farther.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Why not?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Why not?
mdp.39015059788557	“ Why, I'm practically purple, are n't I?

mdp.39015059788557	“ Will you get it for us? ” Asey asked slowly.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Wo n't deliver? ” “ Course not, ” said Asey.
mdp.39015059788557	“ Yes, there were some people playing tennis. ”"Remember who they was or how many of'em? ”"No, I do n't know who they were or how many."

mdp.39015086837690	Who brought it back? ”I guess it was your friend the assistant chef, ” said Mrs. Mifflin.

mdp.39015086837690	Did it ever occur to you that the world is really governed by books?
mdp.39015086837690	Did you get a look at them? ” “ No, ” said Aubrey.
mdp.39015086837690	Do n't you suppose the Germans thought they too were marching off for a noble cause when they began it and forced this misery on the world?

mdp.39015086837690	“ How about that reading aloud?"

mdp.39015086837690	“ Hullo, hullo?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ Hullo, is that Wordsworth-?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Hullo? ” replied Titania's elfin voice promptly.
mdp.39015086837690	“ I beg your pardon, ” said the caller, pleasantly; “ is this the proprietor?
mdp.39015086837690	“ I hope she does n't mind keeping the shop while we celebrate? ” “ Not a bit, ” said Roger.
mdp.39015086837690	“ I wonder what he's peeved about? ” They crossed Broad Street and Roger started off down Chestnut.
mdp.39015086837690	“ I wonder what the jinx is on this book? ” he-- 138 THE HAUNTED BOOKSHOP.
mdp.39015086837690	“ I wonder why he wants it re- turned before midnight on Tuesday? ” “ So he can read it in bed, I guess,"said Helen.
mdp.39015086837690	“ I've got a hunch about this. ” “ Think you know who it is?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is it possible, sir, ” he began, in lucid Johne sonian, “ that you can concoct so delicious an entrée in so few minutes?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is it there? ” said Helen, when he came back.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is that Mifflin's Book- shop? ” “ Yes,"said Titania.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is that so? ” said Aubrey sharply.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is that you, Mr. Mifflin?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is this Mr. Mifflin? ” she said, as he advanced all agog from his smoky corner.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Is to- morrow too soon? ” “ The sooner the better.
mdp.39015086837690	“ It's per- fectly all right about sending Titania? ” he asked.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Look here, you would n't go to a doctor, a medical specialist, and tell him he ought to advertise in papers and magazines?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Me?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Miss Chapman? ” he replied, taking her bag.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Nach Philadelphia gehen”-“Go to Philadel- phia. ” Did that refer to Mifflin?
mdp.39015086837690	“ On Monday? ” cried the other.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Rats? ” he said.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Say, are you all right? ” said the latter anx- iously.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Say, this here, now, bookseller guy must have struck it rich. ” “ Who, Mifflin?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ So he found it again, eh?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Surely I locked the door? ” He walked to the front of the shop, switching on the cluster of lights that hung from the ceiling.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Tell me, is everything all right? ”"Everything's dandy, ” said Titania.
mdp.39015086837690	“ To- night I had dinner at the Octagon with Mr. Chapman. ” “ Is that so? ” said Roger.

mdp.39015086837690	“ Want THE HAUNTED BOOKSHOP something to read in bed? ” He turned on the light in that alcove.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Want to run back for it?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ Well, how do you explain the actions of this man Weintraub? ” said Aubrey.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Well, how do you get your hands stained that way? ” Mr. Weintraub removed his hands from the counter.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Well, how do you like bookselling? ” he asked.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Well, ” said Roger, “ did you have a good time? ”"An adorable time!"
mdp.39015086837690	“ What are you doing in Brooklyn?
mdp.39015086837690	“ What are you talking about? ” he said.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What business has he got to leave you here all alone? ” “ I had Bock,"said Titania.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What devil's business is this? ” thought Aubrey angrily.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What did you say? ” “ I said that our shop was haunted, and must n't be supposed to come under the usual conditions of the trade.'
mdp.39015086837690	“ What did you think of the books I put in your room? ” said Roger.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What do you suppose Mr. Mifflin would sell it for?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ What is it, Bock? ” said Roger placidly, finish- ing his pipe.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What is it, old man? ” said Roger.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What on earth is it?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ What the deuce business is it of yours? ” “ I'll make it my business, ” said Aubrey, and shook his fist in the bookseller's face.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What was the gist? ” “ I think I've got it jotted down in a notebook,"said Roger, hunting along a shelf.
mdp.39015086837690	“ What? ” cried Mifflin, in agitation,"you have not heard of Samuel Butler, the author of The Way of All Flesh?

mdp.39015086837690	“ When does she want to come?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ Where do you want me to carry the bag, miss? ” “ This is the bitter parting, ” replied Miss Titania.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Where has Mifflin gone? ” asked Aubrey.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Where have you been keeping yourself when I wanted to see you so badly?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Where was he?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ Where's Roger? ” she cried piteously, and stumbled into the kitchen.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Who are you? ” 9.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Who was the butler whose name was associated with the dish?"
mdp.39015086837690	“ Why did n't you tell me all this sooner?
mdp.39015086837690	“ Why do n't we postpone the dishes,"he said,"just to celebrate? ” “ Let me help, ” insisted Titania.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Why do n't you light your pipe? ” she said.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Why — that's very good of you, ” he said"Are you sure I wo n't be intruding? ” “ Not at all! ” cried the bookseller.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Will you come in and have some cocoa with us? ” said Helen as they reached the door of the bookshop.
mdp.39015086837690	“ Will you please call me a taxi? ” Something in the calm, mandatory tone nettled him.

mdp.39015063976255	'What seems queer?'
mdp.39015063976255	'What?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Whatever do you mean?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Who is that man?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Why ca n't she have his body cremated?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Why did he come to France, you ask?
mdp.39015063976255	'Why did you faint?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Why do you think she left it open on this night?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Why spoil a good drink with ugly sentiments?
mdp.39015063976255	'Why, no,'she said, and added:'What possesses you to go prowling around at night, in those dark alleyways?
mdp.39015063976255	'Wo n't someone just throw her into the AtlanticOcean?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Wo n't you come and have your liqueurs with us?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Wo n't you have a glass of port?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Wo n't you let me introduce myself?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You brought Paul to the inn?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You did n't expect to meet any other Americans here, did you?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You do, do you?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You looked at your watch?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You think the dossiers will tell us?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You were fond of Madame Wilde?'
mdp.39015063976255	'You will come with me?'
mdp.39015063976255	'Your conjecture was correct,'said the gendarme,'but you did not actually know?'
mdp.39015063976255	* And after that you went to sleep?'
mdp.39015063976255	4 If it was as slight a sound as that, how do you know it was this dog?'
mdp.39015063976255	40 Murder in a Walled Town And Mr. Sherrill said, in English,'We've engaged our rooms ahead, so why bother?'
mdp.39015063976255	50 Murder in a Walled Town He did not even glance toward Madame his hostess, but addressed John Sherrill again:'Nobody here who speaks English, eh?
mdp.39015063976255	Accessory- after- the- fact?'
mdp.39015063976255	And Christine's mother?
mdp.39015063976255	And Margaret Hamilton — what had she been think- A Frenchman Explains to Me 181 ing and feeling, through these last weeks?
mdp.39015063976255	And Miss Hamilton had fallen in with her callously selfish designs, had followed wherever Mrs. Wilde had chosen to lead — why?
mdp.39015063976255	And Mr. Sherrill, you are a lawyer, and you can tell me all about it — can they take the money away from me that Horace kept when the bank failed?'
mdp.39015063976255	And before I an- swer your first question — tell me when did you first suspect Paul MacNeil.?'
mdp.39015063976255	And did she tell him?'
mdp.39015063976255	And if he ca n't run over to Vichy and show his wife the sights, what, I ask you again, is his car for?
mdp.39015063976255	And it came over me sud- A Witness is Late 217'Surely you can recall a little more than that, Madame?
mdp.39015063976255	And not Horace?'
mdp.39015063976255	And now may I go to — may I go to my room?'
mdp.39015063976255	And that assailant — had the attack been made in murderous fury or in self- defense?
mdp.39015063976255	And there must have been some reason... Miss Hamilton Oh, what do you think?'
mdp.39015063976255	And was n't it queer, and lucky, that she could find this in such a funny job- lot of English books as they had there?
mdp.39015063976255	And was that problem solved?
mdp.39015063976255	And what I want to ask you is — even if they've found out everything, do n't you think the money'll be all right for me?'
mdp.39015063976255	And what about Henri de Brassac — what was really going on in the clear mind behind that mask of French calm?
mdp.39015063976255	And what did he do?
mdp.39015063976255	And what is all this about her warning Christine against me?
mdp.39015063976255	And what motive could he have?
mdp.39015063976255	And why has there been — I gather from Monsieur de Brassac that there has been — such secrecy about him?'
mdp.39015063976255	And why?
mdp.39015063976255	And will you tell Monsieur Delande that I can not eat Scrivisses with all that pepper in the sauce?
mdp.39015063976255	And you?'
mdp.39015063976255	And, tell me, too — if you stay here month after month in a remote little place like this, does n't the monotony and loneliness get on your nerves?'
mdp.39015063976255	Are you,'I went on, before she could interrupt me,'staying long in Neyronnes?'
mdp.39015063976255	Armitage?'
mdp.39015063976255	But did Christine herself suspect me?
mdp.39015063976255	But how does that prove anything, Monsieur Sherrill?
mdp.39015063976255	But is she mentally of the lunatic fringe, or is she very shrewd?
mdp.39015063976255	But the magistrate.changed the subject and asked her a question for which she was quite unprepared: did her mother often sleep with her door unlocked?
mdp.39015063976255	But there was nothing anyone could do...'Miss Wilde,'said the police officer,'was your mother in the habit of taking drugs?'
mdp.39015063976255	But this tiny village is going to be thronged with French country people until sundown, and what do you suppose Horace will do?'
mdp.39015063976255	But was it solved?
mdp.39015063976255	But what could I do?'
mdp.39015063976255	But why was he living in those ruins?'
mdp.39015063976255	But you know what is a hanging matter, and what I say is, when is this conspiracy of silence going to end?
mdp.39015063976255	But you will know, because you're a lawyer; and what I want to ask you is this — do n't you think it will be all right?
mdp.39015063976255	But you, Monsieur Braye: you heard Monsieur Armitage moving about elsewhere in the house?
mdp.39015063976255	But — where is your home?'
mdp.39015063976255	Christine Comes Back 101 French Government?
mdp.39015063976255	Christine Comes Back 91'She had not actually asked you to go in during the night?'
mdp.39015063976255	Could one think, now, that she had been merely the good neighbor?
mdp.39015063976255	Could someone have killed a dog or a goat in the street of the village?
mdp.39015063976255	Did he punch me in the jaw, literally or figuratively?
mdp.39015063976255	Did your mother know him, Christine?'
mdp.39015063976255	Do n't you feel sorry for children whose mothers can not share their youth?
mdp.39015063976255	Do n't you suppose they're just too poor?'
mdp.39015063976255	Do n't you think that is best, Mr. Armitage?
mdp.39015063976255	Do what?'
mdp.39015063976255	Ecoutez, if the man in the moon should be threatened by a dictatorship on the part of his lady, what is it that he would do?
mdp.39015063976255	Europe expects every American to pay double — how's that for a wisecrack?'
mdp.39015063976255	For deep in my heart I felt anxious: was there a maniac hiding here?
mdp.39015063976255	Good Heavens, Christine, are you crazy?
mdp.39015063976255	Had Madame Wilde requested her to visit her during the night?
mdp.39015063976255	Had these non- committal gendarmes suspected from the first that the case might not be so simple as it seemed or had all this been mere routine?
mdp.39015063976255	He barked?'
mdp.39015063976255	He does n't look noisy, does he?'
mdp.39015063976255	He started a company to make suits to sell for sixteen dollars retail, and he called it the Ho- bry Company''What was his real name?'
mdp.39015063976255	He stopped, listened, pushed the door a little, and then Mrs. Wilde said,'Is that you, Miss Hamilton?
mdp.39015063976255	How can you say such a thing?'
mdp.39015063976255	How could anyone know?
mdp.39015063976255	How could even they know?
mdp.39015063976255	How could it have been Christine?
mdp.39015063976255	How could that be?
mdp.39015063976255	How did you know it was Monsieur Armitage?'
mdp.39015063976255	How did you overhear all that talk about me, Monsieur de Brassac?'
mdp.39015063976255	How do you know?'
mdp.39015063976255	How long was it, I wondered, since she had left her mother for as long a time as that, since she had even slept in a room alone?
mdp.39015063976255	How?
mdp.39015063976255	Hullo, Sherrill, how's the arm of the law?'
mdp.39015063976255	I Learn the Secret of the Ruins 129'Did he come to Neyronnes because you were here?'
mdp.39015063976255	I Meet Horace Bra ye 57'Can you feel sure of American stuff?'
mdp.39015063976255	I growled at Sherrill, instead:'Good Lord, do you think I do n't know that?
mdp.39015063976255	I half- expected him to ask,'Who is Margaret Hamilton?'
mdp.39015063976255	I suppose she thought I might per- haps want to look in during the night and see if she was all right...''And did you?'
mdp.39015063976255	I think that he never did become really acquainted with Paul MacNeil — did he, Margot?'
mdp.39015063976255	If he must come to Neyronnes, why did he not come to the inn?
mdp.39015063976255	In other rooms?
mdp.39015063976255	In the corridors?'
mdp.39015063976255	Is Mr. MacNeil having hemorrhages?'
mdp.39015063976255	Is it only to lacerate us with his presence, and not offer us any re- lief?
mdp.39015063976255	Is n't he cute?
mdp.39015063976255	Is n't it heavenly?'
mdp.39015063976255	Is n't there anything we can do?'
mdp.39015063976255	It is all very simple, is n't it?'
mdp.39015063976255	May I present Mr. Armitage?
mdp.39015063976255	May your fellow- countrymen welcome you?'
mdp.39015063976255	Monsieur Armitage — prowling around the house in the middle of the night?
mdp.39015063976255	Monsieur de Brassac ignored the latter part of this re- mark, but he said:'You tried the door, did you not?
mdp.39015063976255	Motive?
mdp.39015063976255	My handkerchief, was it?'
mdp.39015063976255	Not your handkerchief, eh?
mdp.39015063976255	Oh, Armitage?
mdp.39015063976255	One may ask one- self, what were you doing there?'
mdp.39015063976255	Or even,'Who is Wayne Armitage?'
mdp.39015063976255	Or just pretending you do n't under- stand the English language?
mdp.39015063976255	Or must one read a new and sinister significance into those next casual words that Monsieur de Brassac had spoken —'She is very intelligent'?
mdp.39015063976255	Or was he only tired and ill- tempered and in want of a drink?
mdp.39015063976255	Paul told me what he thought, and told me about the morphine, and said,"What shall I do?"'
mdp.39015063976255	She is the good neighbor, n'est ce pas?
mdp.39015063976255	She is the good neighbor, n'est ce pas?'
mdp.39015063976255	She will be glad to meet you, I am sure, Mr. — what is your name?
mdp.39015063976255	So far, too, I've been able to get hold of a good many books — lucky I read French, is n't it?
mdp.39015063976255	That Our word may be established shall We gather up the sea?"'
mdp.39015063976255	That is why there has been so much secrecy, do n't you see?'
mdp.39015063976255	The return to New York — that could not have been easy?'
mdp.39015063976255	There's nothing in the world like the beat of a sonnet, is there?
mdp.39015063976255	To Aix- les- Bains or Vichy to see the great world?
mdp.39015063976255	To Bourges?
mdp.39015063976255	To Geneva?
mdp.39015063976255	To Le Puy?
mdp.39015063976255	To Lyon?
mdp.39015063976255	To Macon to eat?
mdp.39015063976255	To the chateau of Jacques Cceur and a fifty- franc lunch, at Roanne?'
mdp.39015063976255	Was he be- ginning to feel this as a real human tragedy, I wondered?
mdp.39015063976255	Was n't it good of her?
mdp.39015063976255	Was there something that Rosalie Braye knew, or suspected, something that frightened her?
mdp.39015063976255	Was your mother addicted to habit- forming drugs, to narcotics — specifi- cally, to morphine?'
mdp.39015063976255	We all see that his wife is in a panic over something, and does he try to cover it up, or distract our attention?
mdp.39015063976255	Well, I say, can you talk their silly lingo?
mdp.39015063976255	Well, now, Rosalie, what about looking at those rooms of ours?'
mdp.39015063976255	What are you going to do, when this is all over?'
mdp.39015063976255	What did he ask?'
mdp.39015063976255	What did that bounder mean?'
mdp.39015063976255	What right have you got to pile all these taxes on foreigners, I'd like to know?
mdp.39015063976255	What was I to think, how puzzle through it all?
mdp.39015063976255	What was it they had meant?
mdp.39015063976255	What was it young Jolyon said —"To be kind and keep one's end up, what else is there?"
mdp.39015063976255	What was this bank that failed?'
mdp.39015063976255	What will they do?'
mdp.39015063976255	What's a car like that for?
mdp.39015063976255	What's put you in the red?'
mdp.39015063976255	What's the next fairy- tale for little Horace's bedtime story?'
mdp.39015063976255	Where shall it be?
mdp.39015063976255	Who's conduct- ing this dumb- bell inquiry, anyhow?
mdp.39015063976255	Why ca n't you let him go?
mdp.39015063976255	Why did Monsieur Braye deny ownership of the hand- kerchief you found?'
mdp.39015063976255	Why do n't they go about their business?
mdp.39015063976255	Why has he not come to this inquiry?'
mdp.39015063976255	Why should she be so kind to this Madame Wilde?
mdp.39015063976255	Why should she be so kind to this Madame Wilde?
mdp.39015063976255	Why was he there, Miss Wilde?
mdp.39015063976255	Why?
mdp.39015063976255	Why?
mdp.39015063976255	Why?'
mdp.39015063976255	Wilde?'
mdp.39015063976255	Wilde?'
mdp.39015063976255	Will you ask this dame how much she'll rob me of for a double room and a bath?'
mdp.39015063976255	Will you permit me to ask you — who do you think killed Madame Wilde?'
mdp.39015063976255	Williamson?'
mdp.39015063976255	You had never suspected the truth?'
mdp.39015063976255	You slept well?'
mdp.39015063976255	You?
mdp.39015063976255	‘ Was that to save herself the trouble of getting out of bed to turn the key?'.
mdp.39015063976255	“ But would you have heard her if she had called?'
mdp.39015063976255	“ Then you did not hear the dog when he disturbed Miss Hamilton?'
mdp.39015063976255	“ Why do n't you take Miss Hamilton out to see the country a bit, this afternoon or tomorrow, or both?'
mdp.39015063554060	A beautiful pair they'd make, Cairns, would n't they? mdp.39015063554060 A pair of socks came down tonight from A 12?"
mdp.39015063554060	About what? mdp.39015063554060 Ah?"
mdp.39015063554060	Always sends it down every night?
mdp.39015063554060	And did you know, Kitty, that the lottery tickets that were found in the rooms of those two murdered men were of British manufacture? mdp.39015063554060 And if I admit that much, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554060	And if they have a complete deck?
mdp.39015063554060	And it was the noise that kept you from sleeping? mdp.39015063554060 And now before I go back to my lowly bunk, is there anything you think I could do to help?"
mdp.39015063554060	And that Miss Oliver?
mdp.39015063554060	And these are bogus tickets?
mdp.39015063554060	And this last?
mdp.39015063554060	And to whom?
mdp.39015063554060	And what did you tell him?
mdp.39015063554060	And what else do you think you know?
mdp.39015063554060	And where would he take them?
mdp.39015063554060	And why have you been hiding these occult powers from us?
mdp.39015063554060	And why not the rest, Father Cassidy? mdp.39015063554060 And you have a number of packages of each?"
mdp.39015063554060	And you'll report your findings, if any, only to one, Peter Clancy?
mdp.39015063554060	And you?
mdp.39015063554060	Anything else?
mdp.39015063554060	Anything happened?
mdp.39015063554060	Anything more, Doctor?
mdp.39015063554060	Are n't you willing to tell me, John?
mdp.39015063554060	Are you crazy?
mdp.39015063554060	Are you going to speak to him?
mdp.39015063554060	Are you sure? mdp.39015063554060 Because you ordered me up here instead of barging into my stateroom, do you mean?"
mdp.39015063554060	But do I understand you to say this Sweepstake — I mean this racket you speak of, could have been run without competi- tion?
mdp.39015063554060	But do n't you think this is an improvement? mdp.39015063554060 But it was n't?"
mdp.39015063554060	But it was one of the used ones?
mdp.39015063554060	But one could make observations through a closed port perhaps?
mdp.39015063554060	But what about those wet tracks I told you of? mdp.39015063554060 But why was he in such a rush?"
mdp.39015063554060	But why?
mdp.39015063554060	By Suffern?
mdp.39015063554060	By the way, Captain, is that John Suffern's precious 92 LAST TRUMP package? mdp.39015063554060 By whom?"
mdp.39015063554060	Ca n't you guess?
mdp.39015063554060	Ca n't you guess?
mdp.39015063554060	Ca n't you say more definitely about the time, Alfred? mdp.39015063554060 Can you account for its being there?"
mdp.39015063554060	Can you beat that?
mdp.39015063554060	Can you imagine it, Cairns? mdp.39015063554060 Can you prove it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Can you tell me, Allover, how many packs of this par- ticular design you've sold this trip?
mdp.39015063554060	Can you think of any way I can be of further service?
mdp.39015063554060	Celebrate what?
mdp.39015063554060	Celebrate? mdp.39015063554060 Could n't you sleep either?
mdp.39015063554060	Could you be now?
mdp.39015063554060	Could you identify them?
mdp.39015063554060	Cut for deal?
mdp.39015063554060	Did it look like a box? mdp.39015063554060 Did n't you think he still looked kind of pale?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did something happen, Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	Did you ever see a more beautiful girl than Evelyn Heather? mdp.39015063554060 Did you expect something to happen?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did you know of any trouble with the lights?
mdp.39015063554060	Did you see Mr. Buckleigh's face? mdp.39015063554060 Do n't you know that was a dread- ful thing to do?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you remember your Treasure Island, Wiggar? mdp.39015063554060 Do n't you see it's in character?
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you smell it?
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you think you'd feel better on deck?
mdp.39015063554060	Do they have to make so much noise?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you believe that apparently gentle animal — could have done — such a horrible thing?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you happen to remember what sort of an ace of spades goes with this one?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you mind? mdp.39015063554060 Do you recognize this, John?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you remember what pat- tern she selected?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you think it possible to prevent talk, cooped up as we are on the ship?
mdp.39015063554060	Does n't it look like it to you?
mdp.39015063554060	Duriga Dass?
mdp.39015063554060	Earlier — or just now? mdp.39015063554060 Ever see any tickets like these, John?"
mdp.39015063554060	Father Cassidy,he said, turning squarely to face the old man,"if you were to hear one person maligning another, would you stand by and keep silent?"
mdp.39015063554060	Fortuitous —?
mdp.39015063554060	From where are the lights controlled?
mdp.39015063554060	Good gra- cious, sir, was n't it bad enough to be on B deck in a ship like this one? mdp.39015063554060 Has your stateroom a porthole giving on that storage room?"
mdp.39015063554060	Have n't you anything on your mind you want to tell me?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you any other design?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you any theories, Clancy?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you been saving this for me?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you found the beast?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you seen Miss Oliver?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you seen anyone down here who did n't belong, Alfred?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you seen oth- ers beside yourself who occasionally or frequently visit the chimp?
mdp.39015063554060	He does it on the quiet then?
mdp.39015063554060	He has?
mdp.39015063554060	He?
mdp.39015063554060	Him?
mdp.39015063554060	How am I supposed to know?
mdp.39015063554060	How big is the package?
mdp.39015063554060	How did you guess?
mdp.39015063554060	How do I know? mdp.39015063554060 How long has he been there?"
mdp.39015063554060	How old do you mean? mdp.39015063554060 How should I?
mdp.39015063554060	How was Zootorius dressed?
mdp.39015063554060	How well did Mrs. Temple know your uncle?
mdp.39015063554060	How's that, my son?
mdp.39015063554060	I promised, did n't I? mdp.39015063554060 I wish, Peter — I wish — Why, is n't that Wiggar, there by the door?
mdp.39015063554060	I, too?
mdp.39015063554060	If you please, a handkerchief? mdp.39015063554060 In my pocket?"
mdp.39015063554060	In spite of — what?
mdp.39015063554060	In the pantry? mdp.39015063554060 In the tub?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is a cabbage a flower?
mdp.39015063554060	Is it customary for a man's linen and so forth to be re- moved as quickly as John's appears to have been?
mdp.39015063554060	Is it something you do n't want me to know?
mdp.39015063554060	Is n't it an awful bore? mdp.39015063554060 Is n't my tie a perfect dream now?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is n't that enough?
mdp.39015063554060	Is that a serious suggestion, Clancy? mdp.39015063554060 Is that where all hands have gone?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is that your pistol?
mdp.39015063554060	Is there anything you can tell me? mdp.39015063554060 It ca n't get out of its cage again?
mdp.39015063554060	It drapes kinda stylish, do n't it?
mdp.39015063554060	It was n't — John Suffern?
mdp.39015063554060	It wo n't be too much trouble?
mdp.39015063554060	It's the finals of the tournament today, is n't it? mdp.39015063554060 Jim?"
mdp.39015063554060	Kerrigan? mdp.39015063554060 Knew?"
mdp.39015063554060	Last night? mdp.39015063554060 Let's give the Battleaxe an eyeful, Kitty,"he mentioned in parenthesis and added:"Have you seen Mrs. Temple anywhere?"
mdp.39015063554060	Liquor? mdp.39015063554060 Liquor?
mdp.39015063554060	Low?
mdp.39015063554060	May I bring him inhere?
mdp.39015063554060	May I go with you?
mdp.39015063554060	May I see them?
mdp.39015063554060	Me? mdp.39015063554060 Might I speak with you a minute, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	Miss Oliver found just now that there was one card missing from the deck you customarily use, did n't she?
mdp.39015063554060	Money?
mdp.39015063554060	Mrs. Temple? mdp.39015063554060 Must it be a new pack, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	My uncle? mdp.39015063554060 Name's Erlanger?
mdp.39015063554060	No,Peter smiled,"I promised did n't I?
mdp.39015063554060	Not even an engagement?
mdp.39015063554060	Notice any difference?
mdp.39015063554060	Now what?
mdp.39015063554060	Oh, lord, how do I know?
mdp.39015063554060	Only that my uncle is ill."Where is Mrs. Temple now, John? mdp.39015063554060 Pickled, you mean?"
mdp.39015063554060	Please, Mr. Peter, wo n't you let me have your things moved back to your old stateroom on B deck? mdp.39015063554060 See anyone?"
mdp.39015063554060	See there- how that spar's lashed to the deck rail above? mdp.39015063554060 Seen anyone?"
mdp.39015063554060	Shall we meet in the lounge about two- thirty?
mdp.39015063554060	Should it? mdp.39015063554060 So far as you know they met first on the ship?"
mdp.39015063554060	So far its been all plain sailing, has n't it? mdp.39015063554060 So that's why you're on this ship?"
mdp.39015063554060	So what?
mdp.39015063554060	So what?
mdp.39015063554060	Some more dirty work?
mdp.39015063554060	The ace of spades crimes,she repeated quickly,"or the Sweepstake murders, Mr. Clancy?
mdp.39015063554060	The man who died last night belonged to your faith, sir?
mdp.39015063554060	The money? mdp.39015063554060 The same?"
mdp.39015063554060	The spot, sir?
mdp.39015063554060	Then just why did you respond so graciously to my un- conventional invitation?
mdp.39015063554060	Then, Mr. Peter,the valet faltered,"wo n't you contrive some way so that I may finish you up — complete your toilet?
mdp.39015063554060	There he is in person, see? mdp.39015063554060 There was a marriage?"
mdp.39015063554060	Think I'll need that?
mdp.39015063554060	Think it would be any use for me to give your detective a 122 LAST TRUMP hint when I do n't know myself whether or not it's a good one?
mdp.39015063554060	Tickets? mdp.39015063554060 To handicap himself in such a way?"
mdp.39015063554060	Unless someone has an objection? mdp.39015063554060 Unless — or until, Clancy?
mdp.39015063554060	Vinton,he exclaimed in a low fierce growl,"ca n't you keep them quiet?
mdp.39015063554060	Visitors?
mdp.39015063554060	Was he so drunk when he fell in that — that he did n't realize- couldn't help himself? ”. mdp.39015063554060 Was it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Was n't one of Kipling's characters named something like that? mdp.39015063554060 Was that the inside story of the mystery just now?
mdp.39015063554060	Was this the one?
mdp.39015063554060	Well, well, and how do you figure that out, my son?
mdp.39015063554060	Well?
mdp.39015063554060	Well?
mdp.39015063554060	What are you going to do, Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	What card shows she's going in for art?
mdp.39015063554060	What coat was that?
mdp.39015063554060	What could I say? mdp.39015063554060 What do you mean by that crack?"
mdp.39015063554060	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063554060	What do you want to know?
mdp.39015063554060	What do you want, Cairns? mdp.39015063554060 What does he do down here?"
mdp.39015063554060	What for?
mdp.39015063554060	What is it you'd like to know?
mdp.39015063554060	What is it, Cairns? ” he asked hurriedly. mdp.39015063554060 What is it, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063554060	What is it? mdp.39015063554060 What is it?
mdp.39015063554060	What is it?
mdp.39015063554060	What is it?
mdp.39015063554060	What kind of fruit?
mdp.39015063554060	What makes you think it was n't?
mdp.39015063554060	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063554060	What should be funny about a pair of evening socks? mdp.39015063554060 What sort of valuables, do you happen to know?"
mdp.39015063554060	What was it? mdp.39015063554060 What was that woman doing here?
mdp.39015063554060	What was the reason for drowning a man in a shallow tank — with the whole Atlantic Ocean at hand — so conven- ient?
mdp.39015063554060	What were you giving money to Zootorius for just now?
mdp.39015063554060	What's going on here, any- way?
mdp.39015063554060	What's that, Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	What's the idea?
mdp.39015063554060	What's this all about? mdp.39015063554060 What?
mdp.39015063554060	What? mdp.39015063554060 What?
mdp.39015063554060	What?
mdp.39015063554060	What?
mdp.39015063554060	What?
mdp.39015063554060	What?
mdp.39015063554060	What?
mdp.39015063554060	When did he leave you?
mdp.39015063554060	When was he here last? mdp.39015063554060 Where are you taking me?
mdp.39015063554060	Where did he get the liquor?
mdp.39015063554060	Where is she? mdp.39015063554060 Where was all this?"
mdp.39015063554060	Where were they?
mdp.39015063554060	Where — where did you get that?
mdp.39015063554060	Where's Mrs. Temple this morning?
mdp.39015063554060	Where's to- night's laundry from A 12?
mdp.39015063554060	Where've you been all the evening? mdp.39015063554060 Where, where, and how does Buckleigh come into her story?"
mdp.39015063554060	Which are you betting on, Kitty? mdp.39015063554060 Who told you that?"
mdp.39015063554060	Who took these pictures, Allover?
mdp.39015063554060	Who's there?
mdp.39015063554060	Who? mdp.39015063554060 Who?
mdp.39015063554060	Who?
mdp.39015063554060	Whose is it? mdp.39015063554060 Why could n't either lady or anyone else slip a card out of that unlocked drawer in the lounge?
mdp.39015063554060	Why did Buckleigh have them in a place where they could so easily be found? mdp.39015063554060 Why do you think it might be?"
mdp.39015063554060	Why was that — if you know so much?
mdp.39015063554060	Will he let me touch him?
mdp.39015063554060	Will you allow me to retain it, Captain, at least for the pres- ent? mdp.39015063554060 With a sneak like that?
mdp.39015063554060	Without permission?
mdp.39015063554060	Wo n't you break down and tell me what — or who — the scoop's about?
mdp.39015063554060	Wo n't you sit down? mdp.39015063554060 Would he have been so careless?
mdp.39015063554060	Would she have remembered to wipe the finger- prints off the drawer- pull — and have left them on the door?
mdp.39015063554060	Would that have required great strength?
mdp.39015063554060	Would you mind closing the door?
mdp.39015063554060	Would you say it was the same?
mdp.39015063554060	Yes?
mdp.39015063554060	Yes?
mdp.39015063554060	You are not prepared at this time to offer any helpful suggestions, John?
mdp.39015063554060	You ca n't guess?
mdp.39015063554060	You ca n't guess?
mdp.39015063554060	You calls this here thing an accident, sir? mdp.39015063554060 You foresaw that, did you?"
mdp.39015063554060	You have a stock of playing cards that you sell to pas- sengers, Allover?
mdp.39015063554060	You have n't told her?
mdp.39015063554060	You have your pistol? mdp.39015063554060 You knew him as Thomas Heather?"
mdp.39015063554060	You know that?
mdp.39015063554060	You like sleight of hand, Kitty?
mdp.39015063554060	You mean corn- whisky?
mdp.39015063554060	You mean find the pack and see if this card is missing?
mdp.39015063554060	You mean from our more important assignment? mdp.39015063554060 You mean — they came when you were absent?"
mdp.39015063554060	You probably had an equal number of each kind, did n't you? mdp.39015063554060 You see that small spot of faint lavender, with a darker dot in the middle?"
mdp.39015063554060	You think you know them, Wiggar?
mdp.39015063554060	You think — you seriously think, Clancy, that Buckleigh may have been connected with a gang of swindlers?
mdp.39015063554060	You thought it might be?
mdp.39015063554060	You told him the man had been murdered?
mdp.39015063554060	You were n't all together, though, last evening?
mdp.39015063554060	You're looking for something special, Clancy?
mdp.39015063554060	You're sure you searched the cabins thoroughly?
mdp.39015063554060	You're sure you're not connected with the press, Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	You've put them to soak?
mdp.39015063554060	You, too, Wiggar? mdp.39015063554060 Your uncle was n't in his room then?"
mdp.39015063554060	Zootorius thought — What's that? mdp.39015063554060 'And why does n't he answer when I knock? mdp.39015063554060 'So why is the door locked?' mdp.39015063554060 . — Did you, Allover, by any chance, sell Miss Heather a pack of cards?
mdp.39015063554060	100 LAST TRUMP “ And you think a steward wo n't talk?".
mdp.39015063554060	109 110 LAST TRUMP"And has?"
mdp.39015063554060	192 LASTTRUMP"What is it, my son?"
mdp.39015063554060	A second — and"What is it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Also — would it surprise you, Mr. Peter, to know that the same prints were in evidence in Mr. Suffern's stateroom?"
mdp.39015063554060	Am I boring you, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	Am I right?
mdp.39015063554060	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063554060	Am I to understand that you, too, believe that the head man of a rival racket is here on the ship?"
mdp.39015063554060	And I ask myself, was it because Buck- leigh lied to you in the first place?
mdp.39015063554060	And Peter asks himself — Who marked the death card, found floating above the body?
mdp.39015063554060	And Suffern's, too?
mdp.39015063554060	And blunder in and out of conversations without a hint that he might be eavesdropping?
mdp.39015063554060	And how can you explain to me his strange likeness — to John Suffern?"
mdp.39015063554060	And is he some knave?
mdp.39015063554060	And the deuce there is a letter, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554060	And the shape of the foot?
mdp.39015063554060	And then what price the full pack?
mdp.39015063554060	And then what, Peter?
mdp.39015063554060	And then, what?"
mdp.39015063554060	And what did you go out into that dusty storage room for — after dinner — when you were all dressed for the evening?"
mdp.39015063554060	And what do I really know about you, Kitty?"
mdp.39015063554060	And what do you know about that?"
mdp.39015063554060	And why have you treasured it for years?"
mdp.39015063554060	And why?
mdp.39015063554060	And you?"
mdp.39015063554060	And you?"
mdp.39015063554060	Any chance that he could be brought back — even for a minute?
mdp.39015063554060	Any news?
mdp.39015063554060	Any suggestions?"
mdp.39015063554060	Applause?
mdp.39015063554060	Are n't you coming?"
mdp.39015063554060	Are n't you going to do anything?
mdp.39015063554060	Are n't you passing up some good copy there?
mdp.39015063554060	Are they putting out the lights?"
mdp.39015063554060	Are you coming, Wil- liams?"
mdp.39015063554060	Are you ill?
mdp.39015063554060	Are you in danger?"
mdp.39015063554060	Are you listening to me, Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Are you sure? ” Peter asked with deadly seriousness.
mdp.39015063554060	Are you sure?"
mdp.39015063554060	August Erlanger?"
mdp.39015063554060	Beg pardon, but would you care to look at this now, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	Bring'em into the lounge?
mdp.39015063554060	Buckleigh?
mdp.39015063554060	But even if they had, who would LAST TRUMP 143 not Buckleigh's, is it?"
mdp.39015063554060	But how much better off would we be?
mdp.39015063554060	But it's been an awfully slow trip, has n't it?
mdp.39015063554060	But what would you have?
mdp.39015063554060	But what's it all about?"
mdp.39015063554060	But why did she come?"
mdp.39015063554060	But — it does n't seem possible that —""That anyone in his senses could take a thing like that so LAST TRUMP 11 seriously?
mdp.39015063554060	By the way, Wiggar, you have n't been down to my new stateroom?"
mdp.39015063554060	CHAPTER VII"May I ask you to come to my quarters with me, Mr. Clancy?
mdp.39015063554060	CHAPTER VIII"But how?
mdp.39015063554060	Ca n't we just — celebrate?"
mdp.39015063554060	Ca n't you see that?"
mdp.39015063554060	Ca n't you tie up your own neck, for the love of Mike?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Cairns?"
mdp.39015063554060	Can you beat it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Can you explain that?"
mdp.39015063554060	Can you remember?"
mdp.39015063554060	Can you see how its made?
mdp.39015063554060	Can you see into the future as well?
mdp.39015063554060	Can you spot him?
mdp.39015063554060	Can you think?
mdp.39015063554060	Captain Kerrigan of the New York detective bureau?"
mdp.39015063554060	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554060	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554060	Could that be done?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did an apparently casual LAST TRUMP 231 remark of Suffern's raise a question in your mind?
mdp.39015063554060	Did n't it strike you that way?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did n't we agree that Peter Clancy should not once be named between us until we got ashore?
mdp.39015063554060	Did n't you tell me just a few hours ago that if something did n't happen soon you'd make a break?
mdp.39015063554060	Did n't you think so?
mdp.39015063554060	Did someone see her there?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did you hear rumors that it was suspected in certain quarters he might have abused the diplomatic mail privileges?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did you lend your pen to anyone recently?"
mdp.39015063554060	Did you notice at dinner, Mr. Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	Did your old German woman win again?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do I make myself clear?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do it quietly, understand?
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't ask me how?
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you like it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you need to get his 250 LAST TRUMP 251 finger- prints first of all?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you see?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you think so?
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you think somebody paid him?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do n't you think that's right, Miss Oliver?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you believe it?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you get the idea?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know how he happened to sail on this line?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know of anyone who might have a reason for putting your uncle out of the way?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know that, too?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you see what I see?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you suppose Miss Grimes could make me something like that next winter if we go to Florida?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you think he does n't know what that card stands for?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you think he'll like me?"
mdp.39015063554060	Do you think that was nice?
mdp.39015063554060	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015063554060	Does he have to go out on that wet deck to get to his stateroom?
mdp.39015063554060	Does it need an auld auld maid to tell you when a man's head over heels in love and a girl is falling rapidly in the same direction?
mdp.39015063554060	Does it really?"
mdp.39015063554060	Eh, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063554060	Even on a ship of a hundred or so passengers, how is the right one to be spotted?
mdp.39015063554060	Father Cassidy looked at him curiously but realizing that this was no time for explanations he asked:"What are we going to do now?"
mdp.39015063554060	Fearful?
mdp.39015063554060	For goodness sake, Peter, who is he?"
mdp.39015063554060	Fortunes?
mdp.39015063554060	From what?
mdp.39015063554060	Funny, is n't it?
mdp.39015063554060	Had he any suspicions?
mdp.39015063554060	Had he been in good spirits?"
mdp.39015063554060	Has anyone a pack of cards — or shall I get mine?"
mdp.39015063554060	Has he gone to bed, do you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	Have I your permission?".
mdp.39015063554060	Have n't you heard?"
mdp.39015063554060	Have you John's address, darling?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you any idea, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554060	Have you noticed her?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you read it, Evelyn?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you seen them, sir?
mdp.39015063554060	Have you? ” Northcote asked thoughtfully.
mdp.39015063554060	He seems rather grand for a boat like this, does n't he?
mdp.39015063554060	Hear it?
mdp.39015063554060	Holes you mean?"
mdp.39015063554060	How about a game of bridge?
mdp.39015063554060	How about the game?
mdp.39015063554060	How are we to know?"
mdp.39015063554060	How can you be certain? ”.
mdp.39015063554060	How could he have gotten out?"
mdp.39015063554060	How could it have been anything else?
mdp.39015063554060	How did you come by it?
mdp.39015063554060	How do we know?"
mdp.39015063554060	How heavy was it?
mdp.39015063554060	How often are the stewards supposed to wash the paint?
mdp.39015063554060	How sick is he, and what's the matter with him anyhow?'
mdp.39015063554060	How size up what a person might be capable of without any line on what he or she had been, other than the uncertain testi- mony of a self- witness?
mdp.39015063554060	How soon could he possibly get a reply to the radio he'd sent to O'Malley?
mdp.39015063554060	I do n't think I ever noticed —""For the love of heaven, where are your eyes?
mdp.39015063554060	I had the honor to search this one thoroughly —""What?"
mdp.39015063554060	I have n't seen any indication of John be- ing hard up though, have you?
mdp.39015063554060	I said:'You wo n't mention anything of this, Father?'
mdp.39015063554060	I suppose you did n't see this envelope there?"
mdp.39015063554060	I think it will go no further —""What kind of a statement?"
mdp.39015063554060	I was not. ” “ What kept you awake, Kitty? ” “ Can you ask?
mdp.39015063554060	I was not. ” “ What kept you awake, Kitty? ” “ Can you ask?
mdp.39015063554060	I'm going this way, will you go that?"
mdp.39015063554060	I've remarked Miss Heather, sir, and who would n't?
mdp.39015063554060	If I do n't go on playing the game, if I back out of my place in the tournament, what explanation can I give?
mdp.39015063554060	If I get in first with that —""And if I let you in on it, you'll go with me to dinner tomorrow night at the Ritz, Kitty?
mdp.39015063554060	If old man Innes can get it — why may not we?
mdp.39015063554060	In the meantime can you make any suggestions, John?
mdp.39015063554060	In your knitting bag, dear?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is it about him?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is it important?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is n't that obvious?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is n't that pretty?
mdp.39015063554060	Is n't this a card from Mrs. Temple's pack?
mdp.39015063554060	Is that all?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is that clear?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is that for me?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is that right?
mdp.39015063554060	Is that the lady?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is that what you thought?"
mdp.39015063554060	Is there anything to laugh at, man?
mdp.39015063554060	It should n't be me LAST TRUMP 51 that's asking — only —""Only what?"
mdp.39015063554060	It's a good thing the passengers are all safe in their cabins, is n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063554060	It's a man on C deck, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Kate finished a trifle tartly,"Or are you looking for someone?"
mdp.39015063554060	LAST TRUMP 133"What do you think it is?"
mdp.39015063554060	LAST TRUMP 149"She's stuck pretty close to Miss Evelyn — and you — on this trip, has n't she, John?"
mdp.39015063554060	LAST TRUMP 5"Are the horse races over, Bunny?
mdp.39015063554060	LAST TRUMP 79"And the — socks as well?"
mdp.39015063554060	LAST TRUMP IS"Hard luck for you, Mr. Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	Maybe's your card, lady?
mdp.39015063554060	Might I speak with you one minute?
mdp.39015063554060	Next to a baby, who's the most innocent appearing person in the world?"
mdp.39015063554060	No mistake about that, is there?"
mdp.39015063554060	No one touched the cards that you saw?"
mdp.39015063554060	No?
mdp.39015063554060	No?
mdp.39015063554060	Now that we've established Mrs. Tem- ple's identity — do you remember selling that particular lady a pack of cards?"
mdp.39015063554060	Now, did your uncle put them there, himself, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063554060	Now, what next?"
mdp.39015063554060	Of having collusion with the steward?
mdp.39015063554060	Oh, by the way, John, what was it you were looking for last night?"
mdp.39015063554060	Oh, that is funny, Kitty, is n't it?
mdp.39015063554060	On deck, you say?
mdp.39015063554060	Or a handsomer man than the Hon- orable John?
mdp.39015063554060	Or do you prefer'em still younger?"
mdp.39015063554060	Or it was thus that one observer interpreted it as he turned swiftly away?
mdp.39015063554060	Or only a feeler?
mdp.39015063554060	Peter handed the lens CHAPTER XV"You believe that, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554060	Peter?"
mdp.39015063554060	Peter?"
mdp.39015063554060	Peter?"
mdp.39015063554060	Peter?"
mdp.39015063554060	Peter?"
mdp.39015063554060	Promise?"
mdp.39015063554060	Rather amusing, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Rather neat meta- phor that, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063554060	Remember?"
mdp.39015063554060	Saw what?"
mdp.39015063554060	Say, Mr. Cairns, have you heard Zootorius gets a hundred dollars a night for doing what he showed tonight for nothing?
mdp.39015063554060	See how sweetly this seal comes off under a hot blade?
mdp.39015063554060	See?
mdp.39015063554060	See?
mdp.39015063554060	See?
mdp.39015063554060	See?
mdp.39015063554060	See?
mdp.39015063554060	See?
mdp.39015063554060	Shall I pass the deal to you, Evelyn, or shall I try again?"
mdp.39015063554060	Shall it be the pool here — or the ocean?
mdp.39015063554060	She choked down a cry—"What's that?"
mdp.39015063554060	So what?
mdp.39015063554060	So what?"
mdp.39015063554060	So why did you search his room?
mdp.39015063554060	So why should I be feeding it to a chimp?
mdp.39015063554060	So?
mdp.39015063554060	Something wrong?"
mdp.39015063554060	Still he remained there — with the air of a man who waited — for what?
mdp.39015063554060	Temple?"
mdp.39015063554060	Temple?"
mdp.39015063554060	Temple?"
mdp.39015063554060	Temple?"
mdp.39015063554060	That one there, with the seals?"
mdp.39015063554060	That right, Ollie?"
mdp.39015063554060	That's clear, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554060	That's right is n't it?".
mdp.39015063554060	That's what you want to know?"
mdp.39015063554060	The chimp?
mdp.39015063554060	The door?
mdp.39015063554060	The egomaniac'show- off'raised to the nth degree?
mdp.39015063554060	The less said about the chimp the better —""And what about Erlanger, Mr. Cairns?
mdp.39015063554060	The older lady that she's with all the time — is that Mrs. Temple?
mdp.39015063554060	The one that fell at Buckleigh's feet?"
mdp.39015063554060	The second one broke a week before we sailed, did n't it?
mdp.39015063554060	Then were n't there originally ten of each?"
mdp.39015063554060	Think we could make up a table?"
mdp.39015063554060	Those wet spots looked too big for a woman's feet, did n't they?
mdp.39015063554060	Through that door?"
mdp.39015063554060	Understand?
mdp.39015063554060	Understand?
mdp.39015063554060	Understand?"
mdp.39015063554060	Unless — What is it, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063554060	Vinton?"
mdp.39015063554060	Want Underwood to help?"
mdp.39015063554060	Was he nervous?
mdp.39015063554060	Was it cricket?
mdp.39015063554060	Was it that?
mdp.39015063554060	Was it the ape?"
mdp.39015063554060	Was n't this the identical ace that blew off the table when she was telling Evelyn Heather's fortune?
mdp.39015063554060	Was that playing the game?
mdp.39015063554060	Was there any harm in that?"
mdp.39015063554060	Was there any hope?
mdp.39015063554060	We looked everywhere, I give you my word —""Zootorius too?"
mdp.39015063554060	What about?"
mdp.39015063554060	What are they waiting for?
mdp.39015063554060	What are you doing after lunch?
mdp.39015063554060	What are you going to do next?"
mdp.39015063554060	What are you going to do?"
mdp.39015063554060	What became of that card up in the smoking room?
mdp.39015063554060	What d'you know?
mdp.39015063554060	What did become of that handkerchief?
mdp.39015063554060	What did children like that know of the horrible side of life?
mdp.39015063554060	What did it feel like?"
mdp.39015063554060	What did the captain say about that miserable wretch Erlanger?"
mdp.39015063554060	What did you do after the baby came?
mdp.39015063554060	What did you expect — or hope to find?"
mdp.39015063554060	What did you see?"
mdp.39015063554060	What do we know of the antecedents of any one of them?
mdp.39015063554060	What do you intend to imply — if anything?"
mdp.39015063554060	What do you know?"
mdp.39015063554060	What do you mean, Miss Oliver?"
mdp.39015063554060	What do you suppose he'd do that for?"
mdp.39015063554060	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063554060	What else?
mdp.39015063554060	What is it you're after?"
mdp.39015063554060	What is it?"
mdp.39015063554060	What might have been their previous connection, one with another?
mdp.39015063554060	What need they ever know?
mdp.39015063554060	What pocket was it in, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063554060	What was that man to you?
mdp.39015063554060	What was the woman's connection with the dead man?
mdp.39015063554060	What will they do with him — until the police take charge?"
mdp.39015063554060	What woman's been here?
mdp.39015063554060	What would you do if you wanted to be here or there or anywhere on a ship without being suspected of an ulterior purpose?
mdp.39015063554060	What'd I tell you, Captain?
mdp.39015063554060	What're you thinking of, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063554060	What's next?"
mdp.39015063554060	What's on now?
mdp.39015063554060	What's on your mind?"
mdp.39015063554060	What's that boy saying?"
mdp.39015063554060	What's that, Mr. Dass?
mdp.39015063554060	What's that?"
mdp.39015063554060	What's that?"
mdp.39015063554060	What's the matter with you?"
mdp.39015063554060	What?"
mdp.39015063554060	When was it you searched here before, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063554060	When was it?
mdp.39015063554060	When?
mdp.39015063554060	Where would they be?"
mdp.39015063554060	Where's Buckleigh?
mdp.39015063554060	Where?"
mdp.39015063554060	Who could sit in a corner, disappear and come back again — and no one think anything about it?
mdp.39015063554060	Who had a perfectly good opportunity to grab off Mrs. Temple's ace of spades in the smoking room early last evening?
mdp.39015063554060	Who knows?
mdp.39015063554060	Who was it — who was it that was killed tonight?"
mdp.39015063554060	Who was it?
mdp.39015063554060	Who was with Buckleigh on and off later?
mdp.39015063554060	Who'd believe it?"
mdp.39015063554060	Who'd have expected that?
mdp.39015063554060	Who'd have the nerve?"
mdp.39015063554060	Whose hand had switched the light off, and what had happened in the night mists that hid the afterdeck?
mdp.39015063554060	Whose?
mdp.39015063554060	Why are you sure?
mdp.39015063554060	Why did she come?
mdp.39015063554060	Why did the chimp smell of whisky, Kate?
mdp.39015063554060	Why did they stop just there?
mdp.39015063554060	Why do n't you ask her?"
mdp.39015063554060	Why do n't you tell me?"
mdp.39015063554060	Why do you think?"
mdp.39015063554060	Why overcome a man — render him sufficiently helpless, and then hold him down in a shallow, makeshift swimming pool until he — drowns?
mdp.39015063554060	Why should anyone's feet be dripping- dripping wet?
mdp.39015063554060	Why — why you do n't mean — He did n't fall over- board?"
mdp.39015063554060	Why?"
mdp.39015063554060	Why?"
mdp.39015063554060	Wiggar, was it another of the Honorable John's prints you wanted me to look at on the door?"
mdp.39015063554060	Will it take long?"
mdp.39015063554060	Will you be so good as to extend it still further?"
mdp.39015063554060	Will you knock, please, and take the lead, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	Will you?"
mdp.39015063554060	Would You Like to Know how RED BADGE books are selected?
mdp.39015063554060	Would n't you, Kitty?"
mdp.39015063554060	Would you be so good as to look for yourself?"
mdp.39015063554060	Would you like to see'em?"
mdp.39015063554060	Would you mind telling me who they were and why they came?"
mdp.39015063554060	Would you think he had the slighest interest in anything?"
mdp.39015063554060	You did n't notice his black silk hose particu- larly?"
mdp.39015063554060	You do n't think, seriously, that a woman could or would have pulled off that kind of a murder?"
mdp.39015063554060	You do not suspect me of colliding — How do you say?
mdp.39015063554060	You get the point?"
mdp.39015063554060	You know it's really safe for the minute, Mr. Peter, do n't you, sir?
mdp.39015063554060	You see?
mdp.39015063554060	You see?"
mdp.39015063554060	You un- derstand, do n't you?
mdp.39015063554060	You under- stand?"
mdp.39015063554060	You understand?"
mdp.39015063554060	You will be careful, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	You will join me, wo n't you, Miss Oliver?
mdp.39015063554060	You will, wo n't you now?
mdp.39015063554060	You wo n't tell him I was the one that gave him away?
mdp.39015063554060	You — you do n't think there'll be more?"
mdp.39015063554060	You'll be careful, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	You'll excuse me, Captain?"
mdp.39015063554060	You'll hand me your solemn promise not to re- lease it until I give you leave?"
mdp.39015063554060	You'll hide them well?"
mdp.39015063554060	You'll let me have it immediately?"
mdp.39015063554060	You're certain of that?"
mdp.39015063554060	You're to note, Wiggar, if anything is different from the way it appeared when you examined it — last Sunday that was?
mdp.39015063554060	You've got to tell me —""Yes?"
mdp.39015063554060	Your new number is what, sir?"
mdp.39015063554060	Zootie?
mdp.39015063554060	after my traveling un- der an assumed name, unless the captain would be willing to back me up on the send- off Kerrigan gave me?
mdp.39015063554060	or who?
mdp.39015063554060	she re- LASTTRUMP 187"Did she tell you that ace was missing?"
mdp.39015063554060	“ Are you crazy, Cairns, or am I? ” Suffern was on his feet, glaring from one man to the other.
mdp.39015063554060	“ But apparently he was- drowned. ”"Drowned?
mdp.39015063554060	“ Is he hurt?
mdp.39015063554060	“ That brute, ” he whispered,"how long has he been loose?"
mdp.39015063554060	“ They do n't know just when he escaped. ” “ Was- was it — drunk? ” Suffern shuddered.
mdp.39015063554060	“ Was it for that, ” he asked slowly,"that you killed Francis Buckleigh? ” 242 LAST TRUMP which she would be conspicuously involved.
mdp.39015063554060	“ Were the hind feet wet? ” Peter raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
mdp.39015063554060	“ Who was it?
mdp.39015063554060	“'S matter, ole pal? ” gurgled Innes.
mdp.39015063956539	A benefit to the world if someone poisoned her, you mean?
mdp.39015063956539	A bit of private research, eh?
mdp.39015063956539	A form of blackmailing, eh?
mdp.39015063956539	A post- mortem?
mdp.39015063956539	A whiskey and soda?
mdp.39015063956539	Abnormal?
mdp.39015063956539	Accidental? mdp.39015063956539 After that?
mdp.39015063956539	Aliases? mdp.39015063956539 All right, sir?"
mdp.39015063956539	And Dr. Hyndford came back almost at once?
mdp.39015063956539	And I suppose the cash from that insurance forms part of her estate now?
mdp.39015063956539	And I suppose, since it was on, you decided to go into the house through the French window?
mdp.39015063956539	And after that?
mdp.39015063956539	And did you like the camera obscttra, Miss? mdp.39015063956539 And he stayed till a quarter to eleven, you said?"
mdp.39015063956539	And just now, I suppose, you're Thorndyke Holmes, the Crime Expert of the Stanningmore Gazette, hot on the trail?
mdp.39015063956539	And their father might have seen the scowl? mdp.39015063956539 And then?"
mdp.39015063956539	And there's a screw loose?
mdp.39015063956539	And what did you do when you saw this man?
mdp.39015063956539	And what sort a person is he — to look at, I mean?
mdp.39015063956539	And what will that be? mdp.39015063956539 And you saw all this?"
mdp.39015063956539	And you saw nothing else of interest?
mdp.39015063956539	And you were having a look round with it, Buckland? mdp.39015063956539 And young Seaforth?"
mdp.39015063956539	Anything else?
mdp.39015063956539	Anything else?
mdp.39015063956539	Anything else?
mdp.39015063956539	Anything else?
mdp.39015063956539	Anything more about him?
mdp.39015063956539	Anything more?
mdp.39015063956539	Are you bringing a charge against me?
mdp.39015063956539	But if I was to tell you about it, then where'd I be?
mdp.39015063956539	But is n't it rather surprising that they're living in the same house nowadays? mdp.39015063956539 But perhaps you'd like to have a word or two with Miss Hazlemere before you leave?
mdp.39015063956539	But some manu- scripts have a way of being valuable, have n't they? mdp.39015063956539 But what about this other man you were talking about?"
mdp.39015063956539	By the way, have you an envelope?
mdp.39015063956539	By the way,he said, dropping the subject of the Hyndford brothers,"did Mrs. Fenton suffer much from colds?
mdp.39015063956539	Camera obscura?
mdp.39015063956539	Can you remember anything at all about where Mrs. Fen ton kept her betting- books? mdp.39015063956539 Can you remember exactly where you were at half- past eleven that night?"
mdp.39015063956539	Cut his stick, has he?
mdp.39015063956539	Did she offer you anything to drink? mdp.39015063956539 Did she write to you on this matter?"
mdp.39015063956539	Did you find anything interesting?
mdp.39015063956539	Does Miss Hazlemere come into anything under Mrs. Fenton's will?
mdp.39015063956539	Does he think I did it? mdp.39015063956539 Dr. Hyndford, you mean?
mdp.39015063956539	Foul play?
mdp.39015063956539	Got a clean handkerchief? mdp.39015063956539 Got it?"
mdp.39015063956539	Groombridge is outside? mdp.39015063956539 Had n't you better get on with your cat- hanging, Superintendent?"
mdp.39015063956539	Half- past eleven, sir? mdp.39015063956539 Have a drink before you go, Superintendent?"
mdp.39015063956539	Have a drink, Superintendent?
mdp.39015063956539	Have you a piece of thread or some thin twine?
mdp.39015063956539	Have you gone over those papers again, Leslie? mdp.39015063956539 Helpful?
mdp.39015063956539	Her defence?
mdp.39015063956539	How could it be acci- dental? mdp.39015063956539 How do you know I was there?"
mdp.39015063956539	How do you know she's dead?
mdp.39015063956539	How else could she have kept track of her bets?
mdp.39015063956539	How much do you need?
mdp.39015063956539	How much is it?
mdp.39015063956539	How should I know?
mdp.39015063956539	How should I know?
mdp.39015063956539	How's that?
mdp.39015063956539	Hyndford? mdp.39015063956539 I believe Mrs. Fenton dabbled in betting too?"
mdp.39015063956539	I had n't a notion of that, see? mdp.39015063956539 I suppose Groombridge certifies that these are forgeries as well — the whole lot, I mean?"
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose all this talk about the Portland Vase must have interested you?
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose there was whiskey in both of them?
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose you do n't know the name of her bookmaker?
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose you know what scale she betted on? mdp.39015063956539 I suppose you're going back to your office?"
mdp.39015063956539	If she was so friendly with him, why did n't she go for a divorce and get her own hands free? mdp.39015063956539 Indeed, sir?"
mdp.39015063956539	Is it another rare specimen for the graphology collection?
mdp.39015063956539	Is that all the length you've got?
mdp.39015063956539	Is that all?
mdp.39015063956539	Is that you, Platt? mdp.39015063956539 It's a clear enough case of suicide, is n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063956539	It's funny how some people have one taste and some another, is n't it? mdp.39015063956539 It's not the kind of thing one does notice, is it?
mdp.39015063956539	It's quite certain, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956539	Just write a capital I in that way, will you?
mdp.39015063956539	Like a looking- glass to test the breathing?
mdp.39015063956539	Lives alone, does he? mdp.39015063956539 May I use your'phone?
mdp.39015063956539	Me, sir? mdp.39015063956539 More brawn than brains, you mean?"
mdp.39015063956539	Mr. Hyndford? mdp.39015063956539 Mr. Seaforth?
mdp.39015063956539	Mr. Struanis Eye?
mdp.39015063956539	Mrs. Fenton was rather difficult to get on with?
mdp.39015063956539	No objection to her having the run of the gardens any time she wants to, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956539	No,said Dr. Hyndford cuttingly,"but it was what you insinuated, was n't it?
mdp.39015063956539	Not much good, is it?
mdp.39015063956539	Not to Leslie?
mdp.39015063956539	Now you'll admit that there's something there? mdp.39015063956539 Now, Superintendent, did you see any difference between our ways of writing?"
mdp.39015063956539	Now, is that all you want?
mdp.39015063956539	Now, is there anything else you want to know? mdp.39015063956539 Now, is there anything else?
mdp.39015063956539	Now, plainly,he demanded abruptly,"do you think she's guilty?
mdp.39015063956539	Oh, he knows the state of affairs, does he?
mdp.39015063956539	Oh, so you suspected him?
mdp.39015063956539	Oh, that fellow who gave the crucial evidence in the Fenton murder case, you remember? mdp.39015063956539 Per- ennials, are n't they?
mdp.39015063956539	Perhaps he and Mrs. Fenton did n't hit it off well?
mdp.39015063956539	Perhaps you can do something more for me in the case of the two Hyndford brothers? mdp.39015063956539 Practical?"
mdp.39015063956539	Quarrelled, did they?
mdp.39015063956539	Really? mdp.39015063956539 Seen enough, now?"
mdp.39015063956539	She did n't keep her old betting- books, did she?
mdp.39015063956539	So anyone could have got at it if they'd wanted?
mdp.39015063956539	So he's committed suicide?
mdp.39015063956539	So that's how the land lay, eh? mdp.39015063956539 So you'd have expected it to be open that night?"
mdp.39015063956539	Some more of your graphological inquiries on 232 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM the carpet, Superintendent?
mdp.39015063956539	Suppose anyone had come in, and later on went out by the front door, would you have heard any- thing?
mdp.39015063956539	Suppose the case against Miss Hazlemere were presented as I sketched out, how would you meet it?
mdp.39015063956539	Suspicious characters?
mdp.39015063956539	Syncope?
mdp.39015063956539	Tell us all about it, will you?
mdp.39015063956539	That do you?
mdp.39015063956539	That you, Platt? mdp.39015063956539 That's all you have to tell, Sturry?"
mdp.39015063956539	The Judges'Rules, you mean?
mdp.39015063956539	The Portland Vase, Miss?
mdp.39015063956539	The coroner? mdp.39015063956539 The sort of thing we do n't print, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956539	The window's open?
mdp.39015063956539	Then what did you do?
mdp.39015063956539	Then why NINE TO ELEVEN P.M. 147 did n't you give some evidence at the inquest?
mdp.39015063956539	Think it's likely?
mdp.39015063956539	This niece of hers, Miss Hazlemere, what about her?
mdp.39015063956539	Two cross old bachelors, eh?
mdp.39015063956539	Was it misprision of felony?
mdp.39015063956539	Watchet, you mean?
mdp.39015063956539	We need n't mention names, need we? mdp.39015063956539 Well, it's the same in the I.O.U., is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956539	Well, suppose I was? mdp.39015063956539 Well, suppose we go on?"
mdp.39015063956539	Well, then, what is your next weak link in the chain?
mdp.39015063956539	Well, what about the doctor's brother?
mdp.39015063956539	Well, what do you want now?
mdp.39015063956539	Well, what is it?
mdp.39015063956539	Well, why should I be?
mdp.39015063956539	Well, you do n't expect them to drive when their headlamps are jumping like a guttering candle, do you?
mdp.39015063956539	Well, you see, it takes two to make a marriage, does n't it? mdp.39015063956539 What I mean to say is: was n't it just about then that I happened to men- tion to you I was expecting Fenton to drop in?
mdp.39015063956539	What about the cook? mdp.39015063956539 What about this fellow Watchet?"
mdp.39015063956539	What about this insurance policy she took out? mdp.39015063956539 What about you, Dickie?"
mdp.39015063956539	What are they? mdp.39015063956539 What are you going to do with this, sir?"
mdp.39015063956539	What company is it in? mdp.39015063956539 What did you do in the garden?"
mdp.39015063956539	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063956539	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063956539	What do you make of these?
mdp.39015063956539	What do you mean by that? mdp.39015063956539 What do you mean by'foul play'?"
mdp.39015063956539	What do you think about her death? mdp.39015063956539 What does he do to fill in the time?
mdp.39015063956539	What does he think?
mdp.39015063956539	What does it matter to anyone except myself whether I drop money or not? mdp.39015063956539 What exactly do you mean by abnormal?
mdp.39015063956539	What on earth do you want that for?
mdp.39015063956539	What on earth persuades that aunt of yours to employ Platt as family doctor?
mdp.39015063956539	What time was that?
mdp.39015063956539	What time was that?
mdp.39015063956539	What would she be doing with digitalis? mdp.39015063956539 What's suspicious about me, eh?"
mdp.39015063956539	What's that funny tower sort of thing on the roof?
mdp.39015063956539	What's the value of Mrs. Fenton's estate?
mdp.39015063956539	What's this game?
mdp.39015063956539	What's this?
mdp.39015063956539	What's wrong with that?
mdp.39015063956539	What? mdp.39015063956539 When did you reach Mr. Hyndford's house?"
mdp.39015063956539	When you were in the garden,the Superintend- ent asked,"did you notice anything — anything at all — that might help to fix the time?
mdp.39015063956539	Where did she usually keep it?
mdp.39015063956539	Where's the bell? mdp.39015063956539 Which is it: Digitalis grandiflora or Digitalis purpurea?"
mdp.39015063956539	Who is this beggar? mdp.39015063956539 Who's Groombridge?"
mdp.39015063956539	Why did n't the youngster give the show away?
mdp.39015063956539	Why did n't you come for- ward and give your evidence at the inquest on Mrs. MRS. FENTON'S HUSBAND 171 Fenton? mdp.39015063956539 Why not?
mdp.39015063956539	Will anyone be better off, so far as her ordi- nary estate's concerned?
mdp.39015063956539	Will this be enough?
mdp.39015063956539	Would you give a woman your cheque for money of that sort? mdp.39015063956539 Would you sign the Visitors'Book, Miss?
mdp.39015063956539	Yes?
mdp.39015063956539	You answer the front door, do n't you? mdp.39015063956539 You ca n't guess who the writer is?
mdp.39015063956539	You could n't say it in plain English, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956539	You did n't stop there, of course?
mdp.39015063956539	You did n't think of telephoning to the police about it?
mdp.39015063956539	You do n't imagine anyone who really wanted to get in would be stopped by a yard or two of tape and a few bits of sealing- wax, do you?
mdp.39015063956539	You do n't know the name of any bookmakers she dealt with?
mdp.39015063956539	You do n't remember the address on it?
mdp.39015063956539	You do n't think it'll go that length, surely? mdp.39015063956539 You do n't want me to use the stuff, I take it?"
mdp.39015063956539	You found Mr. Hyndford at home?
mdp.39015063956539	You gave her cheques, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956539	You know I was at The Cedars?
mdp.39015063956539	You know his brother, perhaps?
mdp.39015063956539	You mean that you left the tray with the de- canter and so forth in the room aftej dinner, before Mrs. Fenton went in?
mdp.39015063956539	You mean you want me to talk to you?
mdp.39015063956539	You mentioned him in passing, did n't you? mdp.39015063956539 You never used it yourself, did you?"
mdp.39015063956539	You saw nothing of Dr. Hyndford that evening, then?
mdp.39015063956539	You see, one does n't bother about the time much, does one? mdp.39015063956539 You think not, sir?
mdp.39015063956539	You think she used it for betting?
mdp.39015063956539	You think so, sir?
mdp.39015063956539	You think so?
mdp.39015063956539	You think so?
mdp.39015063956539	You wanted to see me about something or other?
mdp.39015063956539	You were the visitor?
mdp.39015063956539	You wo n't? mdp.39015063956539 You'd see the light was on in the drawing- room when you came ashore?"
mdp.39015063956539	You'll give us the first rake- off, though, when the time comes to turn on the publicity- tap?
mdp.39015063956539	You're not going to try any of your cat- hanging tricks in this room, are you? mdp.39015063956539 You're not suggesting that Miss Hazlemere ac- tually committed a murder?"
mdp.39015063956539	You're quite sure she always had it by her in case of these colds?
mdp.39015063956539	You're sure you can work it yourself, sir?
mdp.39015063956539	You've got the murderer, have you?
mdp.39015063956539	You've got these papers?
mdp.39015063956539	You've never had digitalis in your own pos- session, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956539	''Would there be any objection to my photograph- ing that, sir?"
mdp.39015063956539	'What was he doing in her house, eh?'
mdp.39015063956539	's I handed to Corwen the other day, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956539	's of Dr. Hynd- ford's?

mdp.39015063956539	42 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM"But surely you're satisfied that she died of heart- failure?
mdp.39015063956539	48 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM The coroner: It would need special anatomical knowledge to put one's finger on the proper spot? — Undoubtedly.
mdp.39015063956539	8 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM"The British Museum, Miss?
mdp.39015063956539	84 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM"In business here?"
mdp.39015063956539	96 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM"Shall we go back to the house again?"
mdp.39015063956539	A little later, I went down and got out my own canoe to go over to The Cedars""You've missed something, Simon, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063956539	A sudden call, eh?"
mdp.39015063956539	After all, why should one keep these things alive?
mdp.39015063956539	Am I right in sup- posing that you have no intention of bringing any charge against my client now?"
mdp.39015063956539	And as I was stand- mrs. fen ton's husband 175 you understand?
mdp.39015063956539	And clear all this rubbish off my desk, will you?"
mdp.39015063956539	And now, what about that night?
mdp.39015063956539	And that reminds me"—he seemed struck by an after- thought—"you have n't any digitalis tincture you could show me, have you?
mdp.39015063956539	And this ii news, see?
mdp.39015063956539	And we certainly wo n't print anything about it in our Garden News, I take it?"
mdp.39015063956539	And what supposing Dr. Hyndford was n't the marrying sort?
mdp.39015063956539	And when was it closed?
mdp.39015063956539	And yet if I were to say suggestio falsi, I do n't suppose you'd so much as blench, Superintendent?
mdp.39015063956539	And you came back again to this point, did n't you, when you called Mr. Sea- forth in again?"
mdp.39015063956539	And you went straight up from here to the house?
mdp.39015063956539	And you were surprised to find the win- dow closed?"
mdp.39015063956539	Any of the windows of the kitchen look out on the garden?"
mdp.39015063956539	Any other bits of information I can give you?
mdp.39015063956539	Anything helpful?"
mdp.39015063956539	Bearing Seaforth's injunctions in mind, she put a question:"Did you ever pay a visit to the British Mu- seum?"
mdp.39015063956539	But it was night then, was n't it?
mdp.39015063956539	But that does n't mean I've any grudge against Hyndford now, you understand?
mdp.39015063956539	But who's ill?
mdp.39015063956539	But you, see?
mdp.39015063956539	By the way, where does this Dr. Hyndford live?"
mdp.39015063956539	CHAPTER XVII: THE SPRINGS OF ACTION"So Dickie Hyndford did n't manage to slip through your fingers after all?"
mdp.39015063956539	Can you fix that up for me if I come round immediately?
mdp.39015063956539	Can you give me a character sketch of him — just a few salient points?"
mdp.39015063956539	Come along to the office and have a drink, will you?
mdp.39015063956539	Could anyone get access to it?
mdp.39015063956539	Could it be bought by anyone without prescription?
mdp.39015063956539	Could it have been accidental?"
mdp.39015063956539	D'you know him?"
mdp.39015063956539	Did Mrs. Fenton keep a betting- book or anything of that sort?"
mdp.39015063956539	Did Mrs. Fenton not ■ 106 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM ring for an extra tumbler at any time?
mdp.39015063956539	Did you come out by it?
mdp.39015063956539	Did you find out that it was he who gave Mrs. Fenton the Par- onax bottles?
mdp.39015063956539	Did you let any- one in?"
mdp.39015063956539	Did you never think of stepping in yourself?"
mdp.39015063956539	Did you notice a big clean- shaven man who sat near the jury at the inquest?
mdp.39015063956539	Did you notice anything abnormal about her when you saw her then, any- thing you think suggestive?"
mdp.39015063956539	Do any human beings ever buy season tickets for museums?
mdp.39015063956539	Do n't you know I do a bit of plumbing in my spare time?"
mdp.39015063956539	Do n't you remember all the talk about it in the newspapers when the Duke of Portland took it away from the British Museum?"
mdp.39015063956539	Do you know anything about him?"
mdp.39015063956539	Do you sell many season tickets, really?"
mdp.39015063956539	Edinas?"
mdp.39015063956539	Fell'?"
mdp.39015063956539	Fenton?"
mdp.39015063956539	Fenton?"
mdp.39015063956539	For instance, could the maid have laid hands on it at any time?"
mdp.39015063956539	Has he found out anything?"
mdp.39015063956539	Have n't you found any account- books that might give a clue?"
mdp.39015063956539	Have you anything more about him in stock?"
mdp.39015063956539	Have you ever used veronal, Miss Hazlemere?"
mdp.39015063956539	He paused for a moment, and then went on:"Like to wash your hands?"
mdp.39015063956539	He was rather a dirty tool to handle, was n't he?
mdp.39015063956539	He's not married, you say?"
mdp.39015063956539	How about that?"
mdp.39015063956539	How did it happen?"
mdp.39015063956539	How do you mean, helpful?
mdp.39015063956539	How long did you talk?"
mdp.39015063956539	How would you have applied an extra touch of the spur?"
mdp.39015063956539	Hyndford's?"
mdp.39015063956539	Hyndford?"
mdp.39015063956539	Hyndford?"
mdp.39015063956539	Hyndford?"
mdp.39015063956539	I mean was she worse than most people in that way?"
mdp.39015063956539	I mean, was it a question of a tenner now and again, or did she really bet heavily?"
mdp.39015063956539	I sup- pose you hit on the veronal?
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose Mrs. Fenton was quite keen on the garden?"
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose there's no question that it's in her own handwriting?"
mdp.39015063956539	I suppose you're settling up Mrs. Fenton's money af- fairs: finding out what debts she had, and so forth?"
mdp.39015063956539	I was giving you the thing as near as I could make it, you understand?
mdp.39015063956539	If you do n't feel you can act for the defence, would n't it be fairer to let her get a new adviser at once?"
mdp.39015063956539	In the meantime, you wo n't for- get that paragraph about the mysterious visitor?
mdp.39015063956539	In this hot weather we've been having lately, was it kept open or shut as a general SUPERINTENDENT ROSS 85 thing?
mdp.39015063956539	Is anyone ill, over there?"
mdp.39015063956539	Is n't it funny to see someone you know, walking along without the faintest notion that he's being overlooked?
mdp.39015063956539	Is n't there any way out?"
mdp.39015063956539	Is that clear?"
mdp.39015063956539	Is that what you're after?"
mdp.39015063956539	Is there any sealing- 38 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM wax to be had?
mdp.39015063956539	Is this Digitalis grandiflora or Digitalis purpurea?"
mdp.39015063956539	It was just a sort of precaution, you understand?
mdp.39015063956539	It was n't, say, seven minutes or eight minutes?"
mdp.39015063956539	It would be just an accident, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063956539	It'd put the blame on the right shoulders, see?"
mdp.39015063956539	James Corwen paused for a moment; then turn- ing square on his guest, he demanded:"Have you still got my client on your list of pos- sible culprits?"
mdp.39015063956539	Just compare them, will you?
mdp.39015063956539	Just wait a minute, will you?"
mdp.39015063956539	Know any- thing about him?"
mdp.39015063956539	Knowing what you know now, do you believe Mrs. Fenton was alive or dead at the time you saw her?"
mdp.39015063956539	MRS. FENTON'S HUSBAND 167"Have you any notion about the extent of her betting transactions?"
mdp.39015063956539	MRS. FENTON'S HUSBAND 169"Could you get hold of these I.O.U.'s?"
mdp.39015063956539	Mrs. Fenton had various male friends: which of'em was it?
mdp.39015063956539	No harm in stating the fact, is there?
mdp.39015063956539	No need to let that sort of thing loose, was there?
mdp.39015063956539	No point in hanging about here, is there?
mdp.39015063956539	No?
mdp.39015063956539	No?
mdp.39015063956539	Not like an ordinary death- bed, you know what I mean?
mdp.39015063956539	Not the one they call'The Human Pig'?
mdp.39015063956539	Now what about this stuff Paronax?
mdp.39015063956539	Now what are you going to do, Platt?"
mdp.39015063956539	Now what do you select as the weak points?"
mdp.39015063956539	Now, what's your next weak link in the chain?"
mdp.39015063956539	Of course, that's just what one might expect, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956539	Oh, yes, he's engaged to Miss Hazlemere, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063956539	On that night, had Mrs. Fenton a visitor?
mdp.39015063956539	Perhaps he's got a boy to help him, or something?"
mdp.39015063956539	Perhaps you remember it?"
mdp.39015063956539	Perhaps you saw her go out with an envelope in her hand?"
mdp.39015063956539	Satis- fied?"
mdp.39015063956539	Seaforth?"
mdp.39015063956539	Seaforth?"
mdp.39015063956539	Seaforth?"
mdp.39015063956539	See?
mdp.39015063956539	She did n't open the front door to someone, by any chance?"
mdp.39015063956539	She makes it like a Roman numeral 1, does n't she?
mdp.39015063956539	So damned simple when you see it in front of you: a poison factory in the garden, what?"
mdp.39015063956539	Sounds rather a low trick, of course; but I'd a right to do as I liked in my own garden, had n't I?
mdp.39015063956539	Suppose I had struck back?
mdp.39015063956539	Sure?
mdp.39015063956539	THE CASE AGAINST JOYCE 57 Wills, and contracts, and so forth, sir?
mdp.39015063956539	THE CASE AGAINST JOYCE 59 what definite ideas have been evolved out of this brain- storm of yours?
mdp.39015063956539	THE MAN WITH THE ALIASES 125"Where did you get'em?"
mdp.39015063956539	That's conclusive, I think, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956539	That's so, Dickie?"
mdp.39015063956539	That's the best estimate you can give?
mdp.39015063956539	That's your recollection of the time?"
mdp.39015063956539	The coroner: Did you ever hear of Paronax? — That is an American quack cough- and- cold cure.
mdp.39015063956539	The coroner: Would heavy pressure be required?
mdp.39015063956539	The man's dead, is n't he?
mdp.39015063956539	The ones I mean are Mr. Fenton, Mr. Seaforth, Dr. Hyndford, Mr. Hyndford, and this estate agent — what's his name?—Watchet, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956539	Then Dr. Hyndford took his canoe over to The Cedars?"
mdp.39015063956539	Then she could have married this Dr. what d'you call him?"
mdp.39015063956539	Then, in a more serious tone, he demanded:"What do you think about this story that he gave us?"
mdp.39015063956539	These are Miss Willmotts, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063956539	They could n't do anything to me, could they?
mdp.39015063956539	They thought they was all alone, see?
mdp.39015063956539	Was he merely trying to attract my attention away from that client of his or had he something else in his mind?
mdp.39015063956539	Was it open when you left the house?"
mdp.39015063956539	Was it worth while starting a fresh smoke before going to bed?
mdp.39015063956539	Was it you or he who unearthed this mare's nest?"
mdp.39015063956539	Was that notes or a cheque?
mdp.39015063956539	Was there anything that a prosecutor could use to con- vince a jury on that point?"
mdp.39015063956539	Watchet?"
mdp.39015063956539	Well, what do you want me to tell you?"
mdp.39015063956539	What about a pound?"
mdp.39015063956539	What about moving along now?
mdp.39015063956539	What are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063956539	What company was it?"
mdp.39015063956539	What date was that, can you re- member?"
mdp.39015063956539	What did she look like when she went up to your room?"
mdp.39015063956539	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063956539	What else do you know?"
mdp.39015063956539	What half- educated man would know to put that, will you tell me?"
mdp.39015063956539	What is the thing?"
mdp.39015063956539	What more do you want?"
mdp.39015063956539	What sort of figure would I cut, if I gave a certificate and it turned out that there had been any foul play?"
mdp.39015063956539	What sort of people are they?"
mdp.39015063956539	What the devil's the coroner got to do with it?"
mdp.39015063956539	What would you think of paying, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063956539	What're you talking about?"
mdp.39015063956539	What's the use of risking chatter of that sort?
mdp.39015063956539	What's to hinder you doing it in this case?
mdp.39015063956539	What's to hinder you from making a statement?
mdp.39015063956539	What's to prevent you signing?"
mdp.39015063956539	When she came back from school, where was she to go?
mdp.39015063956539	Where is she?"
mdp.39015063956539	Where is the medi- cal in the case?
mdp.39015063956539	Whiskey and soda?"
mdp.39015063956539	Who do you think did it?
mdp.39015063956539	Who had special knowledge of that sort?
mdp.39015063956539	Who looks after it?"
mdp.39015063956539	Why do n't you get keen on flowers, Leslie?
mdp.39015063956539	Why not give the show away and be done with it?"
mdp.39015063956539	Why not try stamp- collecting for a change?
mdp.39015063956539	Why should I?"
mdp.39015063956539	Why should people like Mother and Daddy be cut off like that, when things like Aunt Evelyn seem to thrive on weak hearts?
mdp.39015063956539	Why was the French window closed?
mdp.39015063956539	Wo n't that be nice?"
mdp.39015063956539	Would you have seen that if it had happened?
mdp.39015063956539	You can give me a pointer, per- haps?"
mdp.39015063956539	You could see your way all right?"
mdp.39015063956539	You do n't change them often, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956539	You know that?"
mdp.39015063956539	You see it now?"
mdp.39015063956539	You see what I mean?
mdp.39015063956539	You understand what I mean, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063956539	You understand what I mean?
mdp.39015063956539	You wo n't let us down?"
mdp.39015063956539	You've got some in your dispensary, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063956539	You've no idea on what scale they were?"
mdp.39015063956539	l8 THE EYE IN THE MUSEUM"What's that?"
mdp.39015063956539	looks like, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063956539	well, if her heart failed under the strain?
njp.32101063582538	! S9 A HAIRDRESSER'S ASSISTANT small heyes, wore a fawn coat and a billycock'at, did he?

njp.32101063582538	And so you did n't tell me anything, did n't you, you precious rascal? njp.32101063582538 And what are you going to do now?"
njp.32101063582538	Bob the Skinner?
njp.32101063582538	But who are the pals you wo n't go back on?
njp.32101063582538	By- the- bye,I said, as I was drawing on my gloves,"can one have letters addressed here?"
njp.32101063582538	Can you spare me a second in the outside shop?
njp.32101063582538	Can you wait here while one of my men and I row ashore?
njp.32101063582538	Clean shaven?
njp.32101063582538	Damage? njp.32101063582538 Did you ever know me do a dirty action?"
njp.32101063582538	Did ypu take the bolt off and put it out- side?
njp.32101063582538	Give it up, as we did the other riddles of our school- boy days?
njp.32101063582538	He did get excited over it, did n't he?
njp.32101063582538	He's a good sailor, is n't he?
njp.32101063582538	How did I get here?
njp.32101063582538	Hughes, my boy,he said, slapping me on the shoulder boisterously, for I was sitting with my feet in the cockpit,"how are you getting on?
njp.32101063582538	If it was a woman? njp.32101063582538 If one does n't mind a lonely life( it is lonely I suppose?
njp.32101063582538	Is it George Ray?
njp.32101063582538	Is it possible? njp.32101063582538 Is it'orses?"
njp.32101063582538	Is n't she rather like the'Odd Trick'?
njp.32101063582538	Mr. Henry Jeanes? njp.32101063582538 Mr. James BakeweU Green?"
njp.32101063582538	Mullen? njp.32101063582538 Supposin'I knew where'e was to be found at this very minute, wot'ud yer give me for the hinformation?"
njp.32101063582538	Was there much damage done?
njp.32101063582538	We'll soon see about that,and then for the second time he put the question,"Who are yer, and'ow'd yer get out'ere?"
njp.32101063582538	Well, what are you going to do now?
njp.32101063582538	What are you going to do?
njp.32101063582538	What can I do for you?
njp.32101063582538	What do you mean by'saved trouble'?
njp.32101063582538	What is her name?
njp.32101063582538	What'll you have to drink? njp.32101063582538 What's been the matter with me?"
njp.32101063582538	What's happened, nurse?
njp.32101063582538	What's he like?
njp.32101063582538	What's this?
njp.32101063582538	Who are yer?
njp.32101063582538	Who is it?
njp.32101063582538	Why not?
njp.32101063582538	Will you allow me to get a paper, please?

njp.32101063582538	After he had inquired gruffly,"Is that you, Bill?"
njp.32101063582538	All that was known was that a respectably dressed young man, carrying what appeared to 4 WHO IS"CAPTAIN SHANNON"?
njp.32101063582538	And then, aloud, —"Do you think any jury will believe that you thought a private soldier could afford to pay you what that man's paying?
njp.32101063582538	And what are you going to do with all the fish you have caught, eh?"
njp.32101063582538	And where should I be, do yer think?"

njp.32101063582538	As I had expected and intended, Hughes came on deck, and looking over the ship's side inquired loudly,"Wot's the row?"
njp.32101063582538	At the same time, I did not think it advisable — at all events for the present — to take him into my confidence by telling him PLEASE?
njp.32101063582538	But how are you feeling?"
njp.32101063582538	But why should you and I quarrel?
njp.32101063582538	By- the- bye, do you ever get any let- ters for my friend Mr. Henry Jeanes?"
njp.32101063582538	Ca n't I persuade you to stay on and favour us with the pleasure of your company for a day or two longer, as my guest?"
njp.32101063582538	Come, is it Yes or No?"
njp.32101063582538	Come, wot's it to be?
njp.32101063582538	Could it be that he was indeed James Mullen, and that he was at his old tricks of cov- ering up his tracks?
njp.32101063582538	Could"Henry Jeanes"be the name under which James Mullen was having letters sent to him?
njp.32101063582538	Do you know any one there, by the- bye?"
njp.32101063582538	Do you understand?"
njp.32101063582538	Do you?"
njp.32101063582538	Does any one know I was after Mullen when it happened?"
njp.32101063582538	Fiona,'"he said absently, and then pull- ing himself up sharp, —"what am I thinking about?
njp.32101063582538	For whom is that letter?"
njp.32101063582538	Got whom?"
njp.32101063582538	How are you, my worthy fellow?"
njp.32101063582538	How do I know this ai n't a put- up job?"
njp.32101063582538	How long have I been ill?"

njp.32101063582538	How'll that suit you?"
njp.32101063582538	I should seriously consider the question,"What method has he adopted for covering up his traces?"
njp.32101063582538	I turned to Quickly:"Can you get round to the station without being seen, before that per- son gets there, so that he sha n't suppose he's followed?"
njp.32101063582538	In whose hands are those riches now?
njp.32101063582538	Is it a bargain?"

njp.32101063582538	Once more, will you come to my terms?
njp.32101063582538	So you are funking it already, are you?"
njp.32101063582538	Tell me, were there many people killed?"
njp.32101063582538	The whole conspiracy was, in his opinion, the work of some half dozen a WHO IS"CAPTAIN SHANNON"?

njp.32101063582538	What do you say?"
njp.32101063582538	What do you take me for?
njp.32101063582538	What harm could I do to the confounded ship for the few minutes you're away?

njp.32101063582538	Who's the best man to go to?"
njp.32101063582538	Whom has he got on board?"
njp.32101063582538	Why should n't we do a little busi- ness together to our mutual benefit?
njp.32101063582538	Why?
njp.32101063582538	Will that please you?"
njp.32101063582538	Will you accept my offer or not?

mdp.39015063938107	And he was going to turn it over to you?
mdp.39015063938107	And what is your madness?
mdp.39015063938107	And where do you live?
mdp.39015063938107	And why not?
mdp.39015063938107	And you do n't love him?
mdp.39015063938107	And you do n't need it now?
mdp.39015063938107	Any kerosene?
mdp.39015063938107	Anyone wish to see the Rajah again?

mdp.39015063938107	Are you mad?
mdp.39015063938107	Aside from yourself, who knows of the existence of the safe?
mdp.39015063938107	Bassett?
mdp.39015063938107	Beg pardon?
mdp.39015063938107	Berks, how long did it take you to get to Syracuse from New York?
mdp.39015063938107	Berks?
mdp.39015063938107	But if I wrote him?
mdp.39015063938107	But she did n't shoot you, did she? mdp.39015063938107 But surely,"said Descamps, the Frenchman,"you are going to let us see the Rajah?
mdp.39015063938107	But the gems, Miss Hetherstone — are you sure they are where you put them?
mdp.39015063938107	But till now you never saw me?
mdp.39015063938107	But to you I look like one?
mdp.39015063938107	But what do you think can happen, when all of us are armed?
mdp.39015063938107	But where does my butler come in?
mdp.39015063938107	But why did n't you inform the police?
mdp.39015063938107	But why?
mdp.39015063938107	But why?— astonished.
mdp.39015063938107	But will you recognize her?
mdp.39015063938107	Ca n't get her out of your head?
mdp.39015063938107	Ca n't you get him to see it my way, Mrs. Wil- lard?

mdp.39015063938107	Did I know it was Gerry?
mdp.39015063938107	Did Uncle know that you knew?
mdp.39015063938107	Did foolhardy generals ever win a great battle?
mdp.39015063938107	Did the chap get away with the Blue Rajah?
mdp.39015063938107	Did you ever kill a man, Joe?
mdp.39015063938107	Did you ever stop to think,said Owen,"that jus- tice gets hold of a lot of criminals through tobacco?"
mdp.39015063938107	Did you examine this clearing?
mdp.39015063938107	Did you hear the piano player?
mdp.39015063938107	Did you?
mdp.39015063938107	Do n't you see, Nunky? mdp.39015063938107 Do you believe he killed your uncle?"

mdp.39015063938107	Do you know, Joe, those two chaps? mdp.39015063938107 Do you live in New York?"
mdp.39015063938107	Do you realize that if you had telephoned, Mr Hood would not be dead?
mdp.39015063938107	Do you think he did it?
mdp.39015063938107	Dodge, what did we do over there, when we wanted to move our right against the enemy's left?
mdp.39015063938107	Dodge, what does someone want of Gerry?
mdp.39015063938107	Dodge, when did this happen?

mdp.39015063938107	Fishing? mdp.39015063938107 For what?"
mdp.39015063938107	For what?
mdp.39015063938107	Genuine?
mdp.39015063938107	George,said the sergeant, turning to his com- panion,"remember the yarn I spun to you the other night?
mdp.39015063938107	Gerry, is he badly hurt?
mdp.39015063938107	Gerry, what's happened?
mdp.39015063938107	Gerry?
mdp.39015063938107	Going out?
mdp.39015063938107	Gone?
mdp.39015063938107	Got a snifter? mdp.39015063938107 Got all the money you need?"
mdp.39015063938107	Got any proof of it?
mdp.39015063938107	Got the car?
mdp.39015063938107	Guns?
mdp.39015063938107	Has anyone attempted to rob you?
mdp.39015063938107	Has?
mdp.39015063938107	Hate?
mdp.39015063938107	Have another snifter?
mdp.39015063938107	Have the others arrived?
mdp.39015063938107	Have you all got certified checks?
mdp.39015063938107	Have you found anything pointing the other way?
mdp.39015063938107	Have you given the case any thought, Owen?
mdp.39015063938107	He laughs with his mouth and never with his eyes?
mdp.39015063938107	Henry, are you awake?
mdp.39015063938107	Henry, why were you so startled that night when that man Berks said the name was Bassett?
mdp.39015063938107	Henry?
mdp.39015063938107	Henry?
mdp.39015063938107	Hey, Gerry?
mdp.39015063938107	Hi, George, did you hear it?
mdp.39015063938107	How about starting some bacon and eggs and coffee while I have my face lifted?
mdp.39015063938107	How about telegrams?
mdp.39015063938107	How about the servants?
mdp.39015063938107	How about the servants?
mdp.39015063938107	How are the doors?
mdp.39015063938107	How did the others arrive?
mdp.39015063938107	How did they get you?
mdp.39015063938107	How did you fall into such a life?
mdp.39015063938107	How did you find out the truth?
mdp.39015063938107	How many times have you lost that trout?
mdp.39015063938107	How many?
mdp.39015063938107	How will you be able to tell?
mdp.39015063938107	How'd you get those swollen lips, then?
mdp.39015063938107	How's your head?
mdp.39015063938107	How?
mdp.39015063938107	Howdy do, Mr. Willard? mdp.39015063938107 Hurt me?
mdp.39015063938107	I did not tire you?
mdp.39015063938107	I say, how the deuce did Berks get loose? mdp.39015063938107 I was not to defend my home, then?"
mdp.39015063938107	I wonder,said Willard, looking about the room,"if I shall ever be content in any one place long enough to call it home?"
mdp.39015063938107	If Berks had n't been outside that window, could you have taken care of yourself? mdp.39015063938107 Impudent?
mdp.39015063938107	In the hotel?
mdp.39015063938107	Is it a sign of cowardice to be cautious?
mdp.39015063938107	Is it just adventure, or do you really care for gems?
mdp.39015063938107	Is n't he here?
mdp.39015063938107	Is our world always the best? mdp.39015063938107 Is that the telephone, Henry?"
mdp.39015063938107	Is that you, Miss Elsie?
mdp.39015063938107	Jenny? mdp.39015063938107 Kill a man?"
mdp.39015063938107	Know what?
mdp.39015063938107	Lavina? mdp.39015063938107 Man- child, do you know what time it is?"
mdp.39015063938107	May I look at the stone?
mdp.39015063938107	May I see you home?
mdp.39015063938107	Meaning?
mdp.39015063938107	My dear, were those three magnificent Mogul emeralds lawfully your uncle's? mdp.39015063938107 My wife?"
mdp.39015063938107	No use telling you I'm sorry, Berks?
mdp.39015063938107	No? mdp.39015063938107 Not so good?"
mdp.39015063938107	Notice the brand?
mdp.39015063938107	Now, then, what happened? mdp.39015063938107 Now,"said the sergeant to Berks,"what name did this fellow give you?"
mdp.39015063938107	Oh, he gave you his key, did he? mdp.39015063938107 Oh, you think so, do you?
mdp.39015063938107	Old- Timer?
mdp.39015063938107	Pardon?
mdp.39015063938107	Perhaps you are too tired?
mdp.39015063938107	Really want to go?
mdp.39015063938107	Remember what? mdp.39015063938107 Reprisal?"
mdp.39015063938107	Shall I call Henry?
mdp.39015063938107	Shall I serve the rest of the dinner?
mdp.39015063938107	She gone?
mdp.39015063938107	So confused that you could go to sleep coolly in the room where the body lay?
mdp.39015063938107	So that's what it meant? mdp.39015063938107 So you do know the King of Belgium?"
mdp.39015063938107	So you've come back?
mdp.39015063938107	Sorry? mdp.39015063938107 Sorry?"
mdp.39015063938107	Superstitious?
mdp.39015063938107	Suppose someone has kidnaped Henry to force him to disclose where the safe is? mdp.39015063938107 Suppose we go into the next room and turn out these lights?"
mdp.39015063938107	Suppose,went on the oblivious Willard—"sup- pose you stepped out of a tunnel into the Garden of Eden?
mdp.39015063938107	The Riviera, for Christmas? mdp.39015063938107 The one with the shiner?"
mdp.39015063938107	The right time — what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063938107	The safe?
mdp.39015063938107	The wall?
mdp.39015063938107	The windows?
mdp.39015063938107	Then this is his revenge?
mdp.39015063938107	Then you do n't know?
mdp.39015063938107	Trouble for me?
mdp.39015063938107	Va bene?
mdp.39015063938107	Was it lawfully the man's who sold it to your father? mdp.39015063938107 We are a troublesome lot, are n't we?"
mdp.39015063938107	We are all armed, then?
mdp.39015063938107	Well?
mdp.39015063938107	Well?
mdp.39015063938107	What about us?
mdp.39015063938107	What act?
mdp.39015063938107	What are you doing up here?
mdp.39015063938107	What are you hiding?
mdp.39015063938107	What are you trying to make out of her?
mdp.39015063938107	What can you do but become involved as ac- cessory to the fact?
mdp.39015063938107	What caused you to smile then?
mdp.39015063938107	What do they want?
mdp.39015063938107	What do you mean, boss?
mdp.39015063938107	What do you mean, miss?
mdp.39015063938107	What do you say, Elsie?
mdp.39015063938107	What do you want?
mdp.39015063938107	What does it mean?
mdp.39015063938107	What happened? mdp.39015063938107 What has become of Gerry Owen?"
mdp.39015063938107	What has happened? mdp.39015063938107 What have you been keeping secret from me?"
mdp.39015063938107	What if I told you I'm safer in this dump than in a broker's office? mdp.39015063938107 What if your boss heard you talk like this?"
mdp.39015063938107	What is it, then?
mdp.39015063938107	What is n't?
mdp.39015063938107	What kind of a place is this Hood camp? mdp.39015063938107 What name were you ex- pecting?"
mdp.39015063938107	What name were you expecting?
mdp.39015063938107	What next?
mdp.39015063938107	What other label wouldja like? mdp.39015063938107 What proof have you of that?"
mdp.39015063938107	What terrible crime have you brought in to- day?
mdp.39015063938107	What time did this pseudo Berks get here?
mdp.39015063938107	What time is dinner?
mdp.39015063938107	What was this man like?
mdp.39015063938107	What would you do if I kissed you?
mdp.39015063938107	What's a bullet and a few punches among friends? mdp.39015063938107 What's going on here?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's hap- pened? mdp.39015063938107 What's it all about, anyhow?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's it this time?
mdp.39015063938107	What's the an- swer?
mdp.39015063938107	What's the name of this act?
mdp.39015063938107	What's the row?
mdp.39015063938107	What's your name?
mdp.39015063938107	What? mdp.39015063938107 What?
mdp.39015063938107	What?
mdp.39015063938107	When did you learn the truth?
mdp.39015063938107	Where angels fear to tread?
mdp.39015063938107	Where are you taking me? mdp.39015063938107 Where did you find this letter?
mdp.39015063938107	Where do you think you'll find the skirt?
mdp.39015063938107	Where have you seen him?
mdp.39015063938107	Where is it? mdp.39015063938107 Where is it?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where is the Blue Rajah?
mdp.39015063938107	Where is the money?
mdp.39015063938107	Where is your ac- complice?
mdp.39015063938107	Where to?
mdp.39015063938107	Where was she during the fight?

mdp.39015063938107	Where's Gerry Owen?
mdp.39015063938107	Where's this bootlegger's alley?
mdp.39015063938107	Which is better — that the stone should lie at the bottom of the Hudson or in the palm of Berks, for him to gloat over?
mdp.39015063938107	Which of you is the sheriff?
mdp.39015063938107	Which one of you is Van Cleve of Amsterdam, Holland?
mdp.39015063938107	Which wall?
mdp.39015063938107	Who I am? mdp.39015063938107 Who is he?"
mdp.39015063938107	Who is it?
mdp.39015063938107	Who is it?
mdp.39015063938107	Who is it?.. mdp.39015063938107 Who is that ex- pug out there in the hall?"
mdp.39015063938107	Who is there?
mdp.39015063938107	Who killed my uncle, since Mr. Willard could not have done it?
mdp.39015063938107	Who turned on the lights?
mdp.39015063938107	Who was your client, the man you were working for?
mdp.39015063938107	Who was?
mdp.39015063938107	Who, me?
mdp.39015063938107	Who? mdp.39015063938107 Why did n't you chase him?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why did n't you escort her to the phone? mdp.39015063938107 Why did n't you telephone when you got free?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why did n't you tip us off that he was a light- heavyweight and as fast as they go?
mdp.39015063938107	Why did you poke your fool head into this?
mdp.39015063938107	Why did you warn him?
mdp.39015063938107	Why not have patience? mdp.39015063938107 Why not?
mdp.39015063938107	Why not?
mdp.39015063938107	Why not?
mdp.39015063938107	Why should I? mdp.39015063938107 Why should I?
mdp.39015063938107	Why should he call us at all, then? mdp.39015063938107 Why should n't I?
mdp.39015063938107	Why you?
mdp.39015063938107	Why, what is the matter? mdp.39015063938107 Why?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why?
mdp.39015063938107	Will you be sorry to see the Blue Rajah go?
mdp.39015063938107	Will you come to the point?
mdp.39015063938107	Will you discharge me, Miss Elsie?
mdp.39015063938107	Will you forgive me?
mdp.39015063938107	Willard,said Berks,"you understand, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063938107	Would I be likely to tell you one way or the other before six o'clock, when we close?
mdp.39015063938107	Would he know you again if he saw you?
mdp.39015063938107	Would you want to be tamed?
mdp.39015063938107	You are John Murray Willard?
mdp.39015063938107	You came from the road?
mdp.39015063938107	You country bumpkin, what would have happened to me if I'd rushed into the house? mdp.39015063938107 You did n't get him — the three of you?"
mdp.39015063938107	You do n't drink?
mdp.39015063938107	You do n't know?
mdp.39015063938107	You do n't know?
mdp.39015063938107	You do n't like your uncle?
mdp.39015063938107	You go to the moving pictures? mdp.39015063938107 You got him?"
mdp.39015063938107	You got the number of the house?
mdp.39015063938107	You have this diamond known as the Blue Rajah?
mdp.39015063938107	You have tried to attract attention?
mdp.39015063938107	You heard what she said?
mdp.39015063938107	You mean our being here?
mdp.39015063938107	You mean your butler?
mdp.39015063938107	You perjured yourself in the coroner's court 1 Did you see anything that night?
mdp.39015063938107	You saw her?
mdp.39015063938107	You will not hold to your purpose? mdp.39015063938107 You will?
mdp.39015063938107	You're Willard, the owner?
mdp.39015063938107	You're the man who kidnaped Berks and took his papers?
mdp.39015063938107	You've been tied like this before?
mdp.39015063938107	You've heard of me, have n't you?
mdp.39015063938107	You- saw this fellow Willard, then, commit the murder?
mdp.39015063938107	You? mdp.39015063938107 'Member how you caught me poaching? mdp.39015063938107 *Gerry, why will you play this dangerous game?"
mdp.39015063938107	.. Coroner, was n't Hood's heart in a bad condition?"
mdp.39015063938107	.. What are you crying about?"
mdp.39015063938107	114 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"I say, is your name Owen or Owens?"
mdp.39015063938107	118 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"And you're on that check- up to- night?"
mdp.39015063938107	16s 166 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"Could you get Keen?"
mdp.39015063938107	195 Then, with an appealing gesture:"Will you take the gems down to the bank in the morning?
mdp.39015063938107	20 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER Sj"Your letter of introduction?"
mdp.39015063938107	232 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"Are you hurt?"
mdp.39015063938107	237"What's the diff?"
mdp.39015063938107	28 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"Have you ever climbed mountains?"
mdp.39015063938107	29O THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER and offered to buy the Rajah?
mdp.39015063938107	48 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER>"Do n't you ever surrender to impulses?"
mdp.39015063938107	56 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"You mean the jewels are gone?
mdp.39015063938107	80 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"Just what do they do, sir?"
mdp.39015063938107	86 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"Chick, have you read any newspaper this morn- ing?"
mdp.39015063938107	97 98 THE BLUE RAJ AH MURDER"What purpose had he in lying?"
mdp.39015063938107	A man who never lost his poise, who never said a word too much, whose comfortable body belied the strength hidden therein — nerves?
mdp.39015063938107	A rift in the lute?
mdp.39015063938107	A skirt in the picture?
mdp.39015063938107	And how about the prosecuting attorney linking us together?
mdp.39015063938107	And how could she answer his questions?
mdp.39015063938107	And how long have you been there?"
mdp.39015063938107	And what's all of your name?"
mdp.39015063938107	And where was Dodge, his man?
mdp.39015063938107	And who are you?"
mdp.39015063938107	And why had n't he telephoned?
mdp.39015063938107	And would the other ever forgive her?
mdp.39015063938107	Any hot water?
mdp.39015063938107	Any notion where Gerry is?"
mdp.39015063938107	Any relation to the bouncer who works at the Pink Oven?"
mdp.39015063938107	Any urgent mes- sage, sir?"
mdp.39015063938107	Anything else?"
mdp.39015063938107	Anything missing from the safe, miss?"
mdp.39015063938107	Are you going to sell all the collection?"
mdp.39015063938107	Are you looking for trouble?
mdp.39015063938107	Are you on the concert stage?"
mdp.39015063938107	Aye, how indeed?
mdp.39015063938107	Berks 1 What would he be wanting?
mdp.39015063938107	Berks?"
mdp.39015063938107	Berks?"
mdp.39015063938107	But could she maintain her balance at the same time?
mdp.39015063938107	But do you think it's fair to quiz me till you've told me where we've met?"
mdp.39015063938107	But first, tell me what Gerry wants of old Henry — the butler?"
mdp.39015063938107	But his thought was: Fussy?
mdp.39015063938107	But how to reform a man gone drunk on beauty?—something which left the moral fibre intact?
mdp.39015063938107	But how was I to know?
mdp.39015063938107	But how?
mdp.39015063938107	But if you go, how will you get in touch with me?
mdp.39015063938107	But it will take a tub of lini- ment""They tell me you're something of a detective?"
mdp.39015063938107	But terror of what?
mdp.39015063938107	But then, since the war, was there any- thing left to approve of?
mdp.39015063938107	But what kind of a story was it going to be?
mdp.39015063938107	But what the devil did he know about a woman's?
mdp.39015063938107	But what will they do with the body?"
mdp.39015063938107	But what would they think of him when they saw that he was wet to his vest pockets?
mdp.39015063938107	But what'll I do when you're out?"
mdp.39015063938107	But what's happened to you, sir?"
mdp.39015063938107	But what's the procedure when a chap finds a peach of a girl on his doorstep and crying her eyes out?"
mdp.39015063938107	But where does the guilty IMPROMPTU 117*'conscience come in?"
mdp.39015063938107	But who had told her the truth about the Rajah?
mdp.39015063938107	But why the butler?
mdp.39015063938107	But why the devil should they want to suppress Gerry Owen?
mdp.39015063938107	But why?
mdp.39015063938107	But why?
mdp.39015063938107	But will she ever care any- thing for you if you give up without a fight?
mdp.39015063938107	But, after all, why should there be evil?
mdp.39015063938107	Carry them down to the vaults?
mdp.39015063938107	Coke?
mdp.39015063938107	Could he be made to see that he would spoil Elsie's life if he started out to hunt Berks down?
mdp.39015063938107	Could he do it?
mdp.39015063938107	Could n't you possibly break in this door?"
mdp.39015063938107	Could you see anything?"
mdp.39015063938107	Damn funny, was n't it?
mdp.39015063938107	Did he know the King of Bel- gium?
mdp.39015063938107	Did she love thfs uncle of hers?
mdp.39015063938107	Did she possess a prescience which was blind?
mdp.39015063938107	Did they see me?
mdp.39015063938107	Did you ever hear the name Willard spoken?"
mdp.39015063938107	Did you have gloves?"
mdp.39015063938107	Did you hear anything before Owen hit the can?"
mdp.39015063938107	Did you struggle?"
mdp.39015063938107	Do you get it, Joe?
mdp.39015063938107	Do you notice that nothing has been left to chance?
mdp.39015063938107	Do you recall any striking fact about him?"
mdp.39015063938107	Do you wish to see him, dear?"
mdp.39015063938107	Eh, George?"
mdp.39015063938107	Eh?"
mdp.39015063938107	Ever have a guilty conscience?"
mdp.39015063938107	Ever hear any- thing like it?
mdp.39015063938107	Ever take real note of a spider?—the skill and boldness with which he weaves his net?
mdp.39015063938107	For how the devil am I ever going to explain to her?
mdp.39015063938107	From where did you escape?"
mdp.39015063938107	Funny old world, was n't it?
mdp.39015063938107	Funny, IMPROMPTU 85 ■ Gerry; what?
mdp.39015063938107	Fussy?
mdp.39015063938107	Gerry?.
mdp.39015063938107	Get that?"
mdp.39015063938107	Got anything to offer?"
mdp.39015063938107	Had he ever seen this man Berks before?
mdp.39015063938107	Had he kissed her that morning?
mdp.39015063938107	Had it been going before or after death?
mdp.39015063938107	Had she got to his house safely?
mdp.39015063938107	Has he left your house?"
mdp.39015063938107	Have a glass?
mdp.39015063938107	Have n't we two seen mighty shady aristocrats?"
mdp.39015063938107	Have n't you tumbled?
mdp.39015063938107	Have they discovered the paste?"
mdp.39015063938107	Have you a sister or a mother?"
mdp.39015063938107	Have you any idea what the game is?"
mdp.39015063938107	Have you ever felt that someone was behind you?
mdp.39015063938107	Have you ever seen this chap Bleak- eye?"
mdp.39015063938107	Have you your passports?
mdp.39015063938107	He'd have missed a shot like that, would n't he?"
mdp.39015063938107	Hood?"

mdp.39015063938107	How can you keep a thing like this secret?"
mdp.39015063938107	How could you hurt me?"
mdp.39015063938107	How did they treat you?"
mdp.39015063938107	How far does a curse reach?
mdp.39015063938107	How far is it to the jail?"
mdp.39015063938107	How far is this stream posted?"
mdp.39015063938107	How had she found him?
mdp.39015063938107	How much food have we in the house?"
mdp.39015063938107	How old was he?"
mdp.39015063938107	How to capture truly this soul and hold it without chains?
mdp.39015063938107	How were you going to pay for the diamond after you had bid it in?"
mdp.39015063938107	I"Where was Henry?"
mdp.39015063938107	IMPROMPTU 29"Yes?"
mdp.39015063938107	IMPROMPTU 43"Do you want coffee and liqueur?"
mdp.39015063938107	If that ai n't rummy, what is?"
mdp.39015063938107	Is that you, Dodge?"
mdp.39015063938107	Is the collec- tion safe, Miss Elsie?"
mdp.39015063938107	Jenny?
mdp.39015063938107	Lovely 1""Boss, are you hunting the gal, or just falling?"
mdp.39015063938107	May I retire?
mdp.39015063938107	Miss, did your uncle have a known enemy?"
mdp.39015063938107	Need any money?"
mdp.39015063938107	No one of you ever saw Berks till to- night?
mdp.39015063938107	Not to worry, no matter what happens and under no circumstances call in the police?
mdp.39015063938107	Now why the devil did he ask that?
mdp.39015063938107	Now, what's happened?
mdp.39015063938107	Now, where the devil would he put this?
mdp.39015063938107	Now, who the devil are you and how did you get in?"
mdp.39015063938107	Now?
mdp.39015063938107	Of course he could get lost that way, but was he?"
mdp.39015063938107	On some job to- night?"
mdp.39015063938107	Once a day Henry would ask:"Any news, Miss Elsie?"
mdp.39015063938107	Or was it ransom?
mdp.39015063938107	Out of a pocket he drew an object which, to Henry, the butler, resembled a clip of 60 THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"The stone?
mdp.39015063938107	Play with Roger Berks, would he?
mdp.39015063938107	Say, are yuh kiddin'me?"
mdp.39015063938107	Say, you would n't believe I could make home- brew's good as this, would you?
mdp.39015063938107	Secret?
mdp.39015063938107	See the envelope, propped against the gavel on the table?
mdp.39015063938107	See what I mean?"
mdp.39015063938107	See?
mdp.39015063938107	See?
mdp.39015063938107	Sergeant, am I right?"
mdp.39015063938107	Shall I find a policeman?"
mdp.39015063938107	Shall I proceed?"
mdp.39015063938107	Shall IMPROMPTU 101 I send him up now or wait till your practicing is over?
mdp.39015063938107	She felt compelled to ask,"Was that a barbless hook?"
mdp.39015063938107	She was here?
mdp.39015063938107	Sinister?
mdp.39015063938107	So they had been discussing him?
mdp.39015063938107	Something deep; but where did he come into it?
mdp.39015063938107	Something doing, then?
mdp.39015063938107	Stage fright?"
mdp.39015063938107	Suppose one of you buys the Rajah and you are robbed between here and New York?
mdp.39015063938107	That poor old duffer, with his gargoyle face — how was it possible for him to fit into any scheme which might concern Gerry?
mdp.39015063938107	That you, Art?"
mdp.39015063938107	The deputy, quite dizzy by now, appealed to the sergeant of the troopers,"What'll I do with him?"
mdp.39015063938107	The diamond belonged to Willard?
mdp.39015063938107	The player piano was going?"
mdp.39015063938107	The truth, so why should n't he tell them?
mdp.39015063938107	Torture him, when he knows nothing?"
mdp.39015063938107	Under whom did you study?"
mdp.39015063938107	Understand me?"
mdp.39015063938107	V New York?
mdp.39015063938107	VII"How long have you been in the family, Henry?"
mdp.39015063938107	Van Cleve turned to Elsie:"Shall I tell it?"
mdp.39015063938107	Want to go with us to the Hood camp to- morrow?"
mdp.39015063938107	Was he friend or enemy?
mdp.39015063938107	Was it lawfully the Rajah's, who gave it its name?"
mdp.39015063938107	Was it possible that Hood could inspire love in any- thing that lived?
mdp.39015063938107	Was n't he as clever as any crook?
mdp.39015063938107	Was n't he man enough to de- fend his own?
mdp.39015063938107	Was she, too, a little mad?
mdp.39015063938107	Was the grandmother's old Saratoga trunk where it had been twenty years ago?
mdp.39015063938107	Was there more than one impromptu on to- night's program?"
mdp.39015063938107	Was this chap watching him?
mdp.39015063938107	We had quite a time of it, did n't we?"
mdp.39015063938107	We pay, do n't we?
mdp.39015063938107	What a'yuh doin'?
mdp.39015063938107	What about Elsie?
mdp.39015063938107	What are the police doing here?"
mdp.39015063938107	What did he do to you?"
mdp.39015063938107	What did he expect to hear?
mdp.39015063938107	What did the noise sound like?"
mdp.39015063938107	What do you know about that, George?
mdp.39015063938107	What do you mean by it?"
mdp.39015063938107	What do you think of Berks?"
mdp.39015063938107	What else do you do — beautifully?"
mdp.39015063938107	What had happened down there?
mdp.39015063938107	What had happened?
mdp.39015063938107	What had put that notion in Elsie's head?
mdp.39015063938107	What had they given her to keep her sense- less all these hours?
mdp.39015063938107	What have you got to show?"
mdp.39015063938107	What if the publicity of that adventure had in- formed the underworld that he possessed such a gem?
mdp.39015063938107	What is his name, Henry?
mdp.39015063938107	What made you strike her?"
mdp.39015063938107	What name were you expecting, Henry?"
mdp.39015063938107	What of it?
mdp.39015063938107	What put that question into your mind?"
mdp.39015063938107	What queer streak of impatience had impelled him to wade the stream in a golf suit?
mdp.39015063938107	What struck you as amusing?
mdp.39015063938107	What the devil are you doing to that newspaper?
mdp.39015063938107	What the devil do you care what she said, considering the state of her mind?"
mdp.39015063938107	What time is it?"
mdp.39015063938107	What to do with a man like this?
mdp.39015063938107	What was a decrepit old butler doing on a ransom case?
mdp.39015063938107	What was it?"
mdp.39015063938107	What would they do here if anybody had the toothache?
mdp.39015063938107	What'll you do?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's that to him?
mdp.39015063938107	What's that — a car coming?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's the matter with little old New York?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's the matter with my man?
mdp.39015063938107	What's the matter?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's the racket, boss?"
mdp.39015063938107	What's the use of killing things if you do n't want them to eat?
mdp.39015063938107	What's your name?"
mdp.39015063938107	What, in God's name, had impelled him to shout like that?
mdp.39015063938107	What?
mdp.39015063938107	What?
mdp.39015063938107	When would the moment come for her to speak?
mdp.39015063938107	Where are all the other men who were at Hood's that night?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where are we?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where did they make the stuff and what did they make it of?
mdp.39015063938107	Where do you want me to sit?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where does Louie get his coke?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where is Jack?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where is my wife?
mdp.39015063938107	Where is the telephone?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where was Elsie?
mdp.39015063938107	Where was this place he was to be hid- den?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where were you?"
mdp.39015063938107	Where?"
mdp.39015063938107	Who asked to see the diamond?"
mdp.39015063938107	Who had been the sculptor?
mdp.39015063938107	Who is Jenny?"
mdp.39015063938107	Who is it?
mdp.39015063938107	Who was steal- IMPROMPTU 53 ing away, and for what reason?
mdp.39015063938107	Who was this man you were afraid of?"
mdp.39015063938107	Who, then, was the other, who looked and acted like a gentleman?
mdp.39015063938107	Who?
mdp.39015063938107	Why could n't she have been somewhere else?
mdp.39015063938107	Why could n't she have met him in the proper environment — say, Cap D'Antibes?
mdp.39015063938107	Why did he come barging hither- ward?
mdp.39015063938107	Why did n't he go back into his house?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why did n't you tell me you were com- ing here?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why did you bring all the collection?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why did you lie at the coroner's inquest?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why had n't he challenged?
mdp.39015063938107	Why had n't she fought him, beaten him in the face?
mdp.39015063938107	Why had n't that fool Owen told him that there were jewels in the house?
mdp.39015063938107	Why is it we women always go crazy over men who are always hurting us in some way?
mdp.39015063938107	Why not?
mdp.39015063938107	Why not?
mdp.39015063938107	Why should he act mysteriously over Henry if he wanted him?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why should he go downstairs and kill Hood with the fire poker?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why should he wish to sell it?"
mdp.39015063938107	Why the devil must he meet such a girl at such a time?
mdp.39015063938107	Why, then, had n't he denounced the pseudo Berks to the police?
mdp.39015063938107	Why?
mdp.39015063938107	Why?
mdp.39015063938107	Will you obey me?"
mdp.39015063938107	Willard?"
mdp.39015063938107	Wo n't you stay to luncheon?
mdp.39015063938107	Would I be telephoning to you if they had?...
mdp.39015063938107	Would the unknown mistake lie in that direction?
mdp.39015063938107	XV"Have you looked up Berks?"
mdp.39015063938107	You are his man Dodge?"
mdp.39015063938107	You believe that?"
mdp.39015063938107	You do n't want Christmas at sea?"
mdp.39015063938107	You have n't touched anything — partic- ularly the body?"
mdp.39015063938107	You refuse to tell me?
mdp.39015063938107	You say he was fishing?"
mdp.39015063938107	You're all right?"
mdp.39015063938107	You've followed the story?"
mdp.39015063938107	You've read about it?"
mdp.39015063938107	Your luggage?"
mdp.39015063938107	i-^Why had n't she laughed when his pipe had dropped into the water?
mdp.39015063938107	lid THE BLUE RAJAH MURDER"She have any jewels on?"
mdp.39015063938107	this, despite the protests of his wife, that he stub- bornly refused to take the gems down to the bank vaults?
mdp.39015063923687	Ah, that was it, was it? mdp.39015063923687 Am I?"
mdp.39015063923687	Am I?
mdp.39015063923687	And Ellis, too, you say?
mdp.39015063923687	And Mrs. Ames — what about her? mdp.39015063923687 And his wife?"
mdp.39015063923687	And how are things, Doreen?
mdp.39015063923687	And how is he going to pay his rent, staying indoors all day saying he is ill? mdp.39015063923687 And how's Richard Culver behaving?"
mdp.39015063923687	And how's that heart of yours now, sir? mdp.39015063923687 And lying to me, too?"
mdp.39015063923687	And that telegram you sent for him?
mdp.39015063923687	And what did she say?
mdp.39015063923687	And what happened to him?
mdp.39015063923687	And what's your name?
mdp.39015063923687	And when will you be back?
mdp.39015063923687	And where did you meet him?
mdp.39015063923687	And where is restless Richard Culver off to this time?
mdp.39015063923687	And wo n't we be glad of it?
mdp.39015063923687	And you saw?
mdp.39015063923687	And you think she's in it, too?
mdp.39015063923687	And you?
mdp.39015063923687	And, Mrs. Ames, I wonder whether you and she would dine with me to- night? mdp.39015063923687 Ann, dear, go and tell them that I sha n't be long, will you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Ann, have n't you any — any suspicions about how Mrs. Coke earns her living? mdp.39015063923687 Ann, what's the matter?"
mdp.39015063923687	Ann, you swear you'll break with that woman?
mdp.39015063923687	Any chance to- morrow morning?
mdp.39015063923687	Any of the old crowd still alive?
mdp.39015063923687	Are you a de- tective, or are n't you? mdp.39015063923687 Are you a relation of Marie's?"
mdp.39015063923687	Are you going to stay for some time?
mdp.39015063923687	Been to St. Gules already?
mdp.39015063923687	Bill? mdp.39015063923687 But damn it all, Parry, what's the game?"
mdp.39015063923687	But did n't you go away with your cousin?
mdp.39015063923687	But does n't she live here?
mdp.39015063923687	But has n't she any relations? mdp.39015063923687 But how are you — or rather how am I going to ex- plain it?"
mdp.39015063923687	But how do you know Bill Coke's mixed up in it?
mdp.39015063923687	But it was a damned good dinner, was n't it? mdp.39015063923687 But now you know — now you know what he really meant — you will — won't you?
mdp.39015063923687	But ought n't we to put up some yarn for the benefit of Mrs. Coke — and the parson? mdp.39015063923687 But they had n't identified Foster, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063923687	But what I want to know is, why did Jean send him?
mdp.39015063923687	But what about the rest?
mdp.39015063923687	But what can I say?
mdp.39015063923687	But what did he say?
mdp.39015063923687	But what do you mean?
mdp.39015063923687	But what is it?
mdp.39015063923687	But what was it all about, the letter? mdp.39015063923687 But what was the letter about?"
mdp.39015063923687	But what woman does she mean?
mdp.39015063923687	But what? mdp.39015063923687 But when?"
mdp.39015063923687	But where do I come in?
mdp.39015063923687	But where's the Congo man? mdp.39015063923687 But where?
mdp.39015063923687	But who is he?
mdp.39015063923687	But will you?
mdp.39015063923687	But your card?
mdp.39015063923687	But — but how do I produce it — or do n't I?
mdp.39015063923687	But — but why have you come back?
mdp.39015063923687	But — how did you know who I was?
mdp.39015063923687	Ca n't you give me some advice? mdp.39015063923687 Can I get in?"
mdp.39015063923687	Can I get the key?
mdp.39015063923687	Can you tell me where he went to when he left here? mdp.39015063923687 Car, eh?"
mdp.39015063923687	Come and have tea somewhere this afternoon?
mdp.39015063923687	Could I see it — now?
mdp.39015063923687	Could n't very well have been stolen, could it?
mdp.39015063923687	Could n't you get Ann to see that? mdp.39015063923687 Did he?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did you give her the hundred francs?
mdp.39015063923687	Did you know old Jean there — Jean of the Natation?
mdp.39015063923687	Do I'ave to go, or d'yer leave it open?
mdp.39015063923687	Do many people know this story?
mdp.39015063923687	Do n't know me,he murmured quickly, then,"Could you direct me to the church, sir?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do n't you know?
mdp.39015063923687	Do n't you think this is topping?
mdp.39015063923687	Do you behave like this with everybody?
mdp.39015063923687	Do you know for sure?
mdp.39015063923687	Does he know me or does n't he?
mdp.39015063923687	Does she live here?
mdp.39015063923687	Doreen, who was she?
mdp.39015063923687	Ever had measles?
mdp.39015063923687	Feeling a bit sore, are n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	For God's sake, Bill, what do you make of him?
mdp.39015063923687	Get the old bus home safely?
mdp.39015063923687	Got your lie ready?
mdp.39015063923687	Harris? mdp.39015063923687 Have I been here long?
mdp.39015063923687	Have I not?
mdp.39015063923687	Have you been fooling me?
mdp.39015063923687	He's in the studio; you know the way?
mdp.39015063923687	How can I forgive myself?
mdp.39015063923687	How can I get her away? mdp.39015063923687 How did you get hold of him?"
mdp.39015063923687	How do I know? mdp.39015063923687 How do you do?"
mdp.39015063923687	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063923687	How have we misunderstood each other? mdp.39015063923687 How much higher?
mdp.39015063923687	How much is it that he owes you?
mdp.39015063923687	How old would you guess our bird at Bidely?
mdp.39015063923687	How's Bill? mdp.39015063923687 How?"
mdp.39015063923687	How?
mdp.39015063923687	I have met your good friend — Perry, is it?
mdp.39015063923687	I speak to you as a priest?
mdp.39015063923687	I suppose Mr. Coke was pretty hard up before the end?
mdp.39015063923687	I suppose we are idiots, are n't we, to stay hopping about indoors? mdp.39015063923687 I wonder,"Culver went on,"if there are any of your parishioners who would remember him?"
mdp.39015063923687	I — oh, dear me, no,he answered, then with a sudden inspiration, seed of a formless plan,"but would you lend me your photograph for a day or two?
mdp.39015063923687	I'd just come here, then, from Leominster; that'ud be — what? mdp.39015063923687 I'd married again then — mar- ried Wilfred""Married?"
mdp.39015063923687	I? mdp.39015063923687 If you did n't, then who did?"
mdp.39015063923687	Indeed you do?
mdp.39015063923687	Is it all right?
mdp.39015063923687	Is it likely?
mdp.39015063923687	Is n't that the obvious thing to do?
mdp.39015063923687	Is that really so? mdp.39015063923687 Is this the mysterious lady?"
mdp.39015063923687	Jean Malet?
mdp.39015063923687	Jean sent you?
mdp.39015063923687	Jean? mdp.39015063923687 Know any- thing about her?"
mdp.39015063923687	Lie? mdp.39015063923687 Look here, what the devil are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063923687	Marie Schmidt never came again, I suppose?
mdp.39015063923687	May I call for you about three?
mdp.39015063923687	May I hint — just a little of what you've told me?
mdp.39015063923687	Me? mdp.39015063923687 Measles?"
mdp.39015063923687	Miss Cupper, it was Mr. Foster who limped and had the fair hair, was n't it? mdp.39015063923687 Mr. Foster here?"
mdp.39015063923687	Much?
mdp.39015063923687	Must be rather a jolly life, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063923687	My praises? mdp.39015063923687 Naturally,"Culver said, with a shrug;"but how much is it?"
mdp.39015063923687	Nothing from your end, I suppose?
mdp.39015063923687	Now then, Mr.—Culver,he went on, glancing at the card,"what can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Now, what's your news?
mdp.39015063923687	Now, which of George Franklin's people is your friend?
mdp.39015063923687	Oh, was it?
mdp.39015063923687	Old Jean, he had lived here a long time with you, Madelaine?
mdp.39015063923687	Old Jean? mdp.39015063923687 Or — or — do you want to see Bill on business?"
mdp.39015063923687	Quite sure it was n't really Elsa Mayer?
mdp.39015063923687	Really? mdp.39015063923687 Reverend Foster?
mdp.39015063923687	Richard Culver's got the hump to- night, has n't he?
mdp.39015063923687	Rotten night, is n't it?
mdp.39015063923687	Say a quarter past seven, sir?
mdp.39015063923687	Seen all you want, old fellow?
mdp.39015063923687	Shall we let her come?
mdp.39015063923687	Shove the teapot over, will you?
mdp.39015063923687	So this was your friend?
mdp.39015063923687	So you drew blank, did you?
mdp.39015063923687	So you think the bobbies just stroll round to The Pines, find the picture, shove the lady in jug, and that's that, do you? mdp.39015063923687 So you were one of them, after all?"
mdp.39015063923687	So you've come back to stay?
mdp.39015063923687	That ishe stammered,"I mean, Ann, there's nothing gone wrong, is there?—I mean, you have n't really got the hump?"
mdp.39015063923687	That you, Parry? mdp.39015063923687 That — on the telephone?"
mdp.39015063923687	The church? mdp.39015063923687 The key, now, the key; where did Ellis put that key?
mdp.39015063923687	Then I take it I can have a hundred or two before THE STRANGE CASE OFWILLIAM"COOK 20, t you go?"
mdp.39015063923687	Then what about the chest?
mdp.39015063923687	Then what the devil was he doing with it?
mdp.39015063923687	Then what's she doing here?
mdp.39015063923687	Then why is he hanging about?
mdp.39015063923687	Then you were mixed up with her — her real life?
mdp.39015063923687	Then you, too, were a friend of his?
mdp.39015063923687	Then, Peter, do you think you can get hold of her to- night?
mdp.39015063923687	Then, are n't you coming back to Oldford?
mdp.39015063923687	There you are, Mrs. Coke — what have you to say to that? mdp.39015063923687 This goes in, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063923687	This is Monsieur Culver, you remember him? mdp.39015063923687 This is what you mean — eh?"
mdp.39015063923687	Topping day, is n't it?
mdp.39015063923687	Very old place, ai n't it, mate?
mdp.39015063923687	Was that evil woman, his wife, with him when you knew him?
mdp.39015063923687	Well, and what do you think you ought to do about it?
mdp.39015063923687	Well, anyhow, what are we going to do now? mdp.39015063923687 Well, what did she say?"
mdp.39015063923687	Well, where do I come in?
mdp.39015063923687	Well, where is she? mdp.39015063923687 Well,"Culver said boorishly,"what's the next move in fooling me?"
mdp.39015063923687	Well?
mdp.39015063923687	Well?
mdp.39015063923687	Well?
mdp.39015063923687	Well?
mdp.39015063923687	Well?
mdp.39015063923687	What are you going to telephone about?
mdp.39015063923687	What could the old bird do if you did? mdp.39015063923687 What do you know about her, Ann?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you know against Bill Coke that you should say such beastly things about her?
mdp.39015063923687	What do you mean, exactly? mdp.39015063923687 What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063923687	What do you think- of it? mdp.39015063923687 What do you want to see her about?
mdp.39015063923687	What do you want with me?
mdp.39015063923687	What exactly are you suggesting — that Mrs. Coke's a thief? mdp.39015063923687 What exactly did you tell her?"
mdp.39015063923687	What has this to do with Jean's letter — your hus- band's letter?
mdp.39015063923687	What is it? mdp.39015063923687 What is it?
mdp.39015063923687	What is it?
mdp.39015063923687	What is your name?
mdp.39015063923687	What on earth are you talking about?
mdp.39015063923687	What on earth made you come back here? mdp.39015063923687 What reasons?"
mdp.39015063923687	What the devil did happen last night?
mdp.39015063923687	What time did Mr. Parry come down?
mdp.39015063923687	What was she full of?
mdp.39015063923687	What was that?
mdp.39015063923687	What was up with her? mdp.39015063923687 What's the trouble?"
mdp.39015063923687	What's up with the bus?
mdp.39015063923687	What's up?
mdp.39015063923687	What's your game?
mdp.39015063923687	What, Marie?
mdp.39015063923687	What, have you sold it?
mdp.39015063923687	What, was she jealous?
mdp.39015063923687	What? mdp.39015063923687 What?
mdp.39015063923687	What?
mdp.39015063923687	When did you find that out?
mdp.39015063923687	When will you come for a drive?
mdp.39015063923687	Where are you going to put that?
mdp.39015063923687	Where do you want to get to?
mdp.39015063923687	Where does she live at other times?
mdp.39015063923687	Where would he be now, sir?
mdp.39015063923687	Where'd he come from, Hampshire?
mdp.39015063923687	Where'd you pinch it, Harris?
mdp.39015063923687	Where's Friend?
mdp.39015063923687	Who are you? mdp.39015063923687 Who did tell you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who was she — the wife?
mdp.39015063923687	Who was she, Miss Cupper?
mdp.39015063923687	Who's calling my darling a man- eater?
mdp.39015063923687	Who's to look after me at the cafe if you stay sulking in your bunk?
mdp.39015063923687	Why are n't you dancing?
mdp.39015063923687	Why ca n't you be sensible? mdp.39015063923687 Why did n't you come to Bill's party this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063923687	Why did n't you post it? mdp.39015063923687 Why did you smash the magneto of my car the other evening?"
mdp.39015063923687	Why do you think Jean sent you to me?
mdp.39015063923687	Why does Ann make that serious allegation?
mdp.39015063923687	Why was that? mdp.39015063923687 Why wo n't you be frank with me?
mdp.39015063923687	Why wo n't you tell me about him?
mdp.39015063923687	Why — why did n't you nab him?
mdp.39015063923687	Will she be coming here later?
mdp.39015063923687	Wo n't you come to a less noisy place?
mdp.39015063923687	Would it help?
mdp.39015063923687	Would there be a photograph, do you think? mdp.39015063923687 Yes, I met her and was introduced to her""As Marie Schmidt?"
mdp.39015063923687	Yes, but where did you appear from?
mdp.39015063923687	Yes?
mdp.39015063923687	Yes?
mdp.39015063923687	You are English?
mdp.39015063923687	You are coming back?
mdp.39015063923687	You are the cousin who went down with measles, are you not? mdp.39015063923687 You come back again, or have n't you been away?"
mdp.39015063923687	You do n't mean she fakes?
mdp.39015063923687	You got any interest in these people, Parry?
mdp.39015063923687	You in here, Monsieur Jean, le pirate?
mdp.39015063923687	You know St. Gules well, I suppose?
mdp.39015063923687	You looking for anybody? ” she asked in a lazy drawl. mdp.39015063923687 You looking for anything?"
mdp.39015063923687	You mad?
mdp.39015063923687	You mean Foster?
mdp.39015063923687	You mean about Carl?
mdp.39015063923687	You mean it? mdp.39015063923687 You met her here?
mdp.39015063923687	You really think so? mdp.39015063923687 You speak these chaps'lingo?"
mdp.39015063923687	You want to see me?
mdp.39015063923687	You want to tell me something?
mdp.39015063923687	You will see that the door is safe, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	You will wait, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	You would n't hesitate then, would you? mdp.39015063923687 You — promise — me?"
mdp.39015063923687	You'll be all right now, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	You'll go, of course?
mdp.39015063923687	You're an old friend of Mrs. Coke's, I suppose?
mdp.39015063923687	You're from Mr. Frank, sir?
mdp.39015063923687	You're quite sure he is n't a fraud?
mdp.39015063923687	You've got them?
mdp.39015063923687	You've heard that story, too?
mdp.39015063923687	^'Elsa? mdp.39015063923687 'The game, old man? mdp.39015063923687 118 THE STRANGE CASE OFWILLIAM"COOK"Well, what happened to you?"
mdp.39015063923687	162 THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK"But why this?"
mdp.39015063923687	20 THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK"Was your husband the etcher?"
mdp.39015063923687	356 THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK"Where is Ann?"
mdp.39015063923687	47, Parry said:"Want me to come in with you?"
mdp.39015063923687	A direct call on the vicar was clearly the first thing to do; but what explanation should he offer him?
mdp.39015063923687	Afraid you would have to pay your uncle's debts?"
mdp.39015063923687	Ames?"
mdp.39015063923687	And Ann Gray?
mdp.39015063923687	And how had he lived in the intervening years?
mdp.39015063923687	And if it were true, has it anything to do with you?"
mdp.39015063923687	And it would be uncommonly useful to have a companion with him this time, and what better companion than Parry?
mdp.39015063923687	And may I leave this card here for him, that he may see it when he comes in?
mdp.39015063923687	And that's the story — as I know it-pretty rotten, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063923687	And what do you want with the lazy good- for- nothing?"
mdp.39015063923687	And what was Elsa doing disguised as Marie Schmidt?
mdp.39015063923687	And what was Parry up to now — and Harris?
mdp.39015063923687	And what's Harris?
mdp.39015063923687	And why did he go to Antwerp?"
mdp.39015063923687	And why?
mdp.39015063923687	And you got the ladies back in good time, too?"
mdp.39015063923687	And you remember Wilfred Coke, I suppose, Doreen?"
mdp.39015063923687	And you — you're a news- paper man, are n't you, Mr. Culver?
mdp.39015063923687	Ann broke in:"But you do n't know one another, do you?
mdp.39015063923687	Ann retorted slowly,"What's the matter, Bill?
mdp.39015063923687	Ann, you out here?"
mdp.39015063923687	Any parents?"
mdp.39015063923687	Anyhow, it's all right now?
mdp.39015063923687	Anything happened since I left?"
mdp.39015063923687	Are n't you sorry you did n't?"
mdp.39015063923687	As he pulled up, mechanically, and turned with a vague,"Were you speaking to me?"
mdp.39015063923687	As she was starting to retort, he interrupted, still in the same level voice:"Now what are you complaining of?
mdp.39015063923687	Better not use a torch just yet, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063923687	Bill, how much does that man know?"
mdp.39015063923687	Brains?
mdp.39015063923687	But Ann Gray?
mdp.39015063923687	But I hate London — do n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	But can you prove it?"
mdp.39015063923687	But how to escape?
mdp.39015063923687	But she merely looked towards him in a docile way, and asked rather bitterly:"Have you done anything?"
mdp.39015063923687	But what do you want me to tell you?"
mdp.39015063923687	But what was that end?
mdp.39015063923687	But what was the scandal — may I?
mdp.39015063923687	But what was to be done?
mdp.39015063923687	But what's behind it?
mdp.39015063923687	But what's the odds?
mdp.39015063923687	But you remember the girl I spoke of, Marie Schmidt?"
mdp.39015063923687	But you want to see her picture, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063923687	But — but this is n't quite the place for serious talking, is it?"
mdp.39015063923687	But, of course, you have n't seen the shop yet, have you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Can I do anything for you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Can you do it? ” “ Why- yes.
mdp.39015063923687	Coke?"
mdp.39015063923687	Coke?"
mdp.39015063923687	Come, Ann, be a dear, sentimental idiot yourself — won't you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Could anyone describe him to me?"
mdp.39015063923687	Could she have been Jean's niece?
mdp.39015063923687	Culver asked anxiously:"Is there anything I can do for you?
mdp.39015063923687	Culver hesitated, then blurted out in an injured tone:"Do you want to get rid of me?
mdp.39015063923687	Culver noticed it, and fumed, Why was it everyone treated him as a child?
mdp.39015063923687	Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did I do in the contact breaker?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did he suspect anybody?
mdp.39015063923687	Did he tell anything?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did n't pay his bills?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did n't she tell you he was a missionary?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did she pay him to keep away, or was he, after all, as bad as she; one of her gang like the man at Bidely, and Elsa, and — and Ann?
mdp.39015063923687	Did she say what it was about?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did that mean Bill and the parson had escaped?
mdp.39015063923687	Did you ever see anything quite so thick in a piece of furniture?
mdp.39015063923687	Did you know he was in Oldford yesterday?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did you know him?"
mdp.39015063923687	Did you know him?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do n't you ever want ex- citement?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do n't you think it's funny that he should be here under that name?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do n't you think we ought to get the doctor to have a look at you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do you feel you can tell me?
mdp.39015063923687	Do you know the Congo, General?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do you remember him?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do you understand that infernal jargon?"
mdp.39015063923687	Do you understand that?"
mdp.39015063923687	Does Jean of the Natation live here?"
mdp.39015063923687	Does he still bear malice?
mdp.39015063923687	Does that shock you, Richard Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	Drive a car?"
mdp.39015063923687	Elsa snapped out,"Well?"
mdp.39015063923687	Ever been there? ” Ann asked abruptly.
mdp.39015063923687	Foster had spoken of more work to do — was that in the church?
mdp.39015063923687	Foster?"
mdp.39015063923687	Foster?"
mdp.39015063923687	Frazer?"
mdp.39015063923687	Got the flask?"
mdp.39015063923687	Had Ann been monkeying with the car?
mdp.39015063923687	Had Jean's name perchance been Gar- land?
mdp.39015063923687	Had any breakfast?"
mdp.39015063923687	Had that rubicund, portly parson at Bidely Rectory ever served in this church?
mdp.39015063923687	Had the fellow ever been away at all?
mdp.39015063923687	Had the old man deliberately been giving him a tip?
mdp.39015063923687	Had you got anything to do with that, Carl?"
mdp.39015063923687	Had"they"got to the house at last, and too late?
mdp.39015063923687	Has Bill Coke tumbled?
mdp.39015063923687	Has he altered much?
mdp.39015063923687	Have a drink?"
mdp.39015063923687	He could n't be in it, too, could he?"
mdp.39015063923687	He was n't terribly hard up or anything like that — poor old dear?"
mdp.39015063923687	Hear that?"
mdp.39015063923687	Here, you remember what hap- pened to poor Mr. Coke, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063923687	His manner was awkward, and in response to Cul- ver's deliberate"Well, what was the matter?"
mdp.39015063923687	His mild eyes glowed with simple wonder as he flung the most startling suggestions at Culver with a sharp"How's that fit your story?"
mdp.39015063923687	How am I to know that you are not still fooling me?
mdp.39015063923687	How did it happen — a faulty part or something?"
mdp.39015063923687	How far have you gone, Ann?
mdp.39015063923687	How the devil could you tell what a man like that was thinking?
mdp.39015063923687	How, he asked himself, could Clement Foster explain the miss- 264 THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK ing windows?
mdp.39015063923687	How, then, did Wilfred Coke come into it?
mdp.39015063923687	I did n't lose my head when I set Dirk on to them, did I?"
mdp.39015063923687	I suppose it must be the same man?
mdp.39015063923687	I'm glad of that, but wo n't you have a whisky- and- soda?
mdp.39015063923687	II7"Why did n't you?"
mdp.39015063923687	If Mrs. Coke had a secret to keep, why should n't she keep it?
mdp.39015063923687	If it were not the windows they had been after, what in heaven's name was it they had secreted in the chest in the tower?
mdp.39015063923687	If so, where did Peter come in?
mdp.39015063923687	If you're wrong, you make a gorgeous fool of yourself; and if you're right — ■ where does it lead?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is he Friend?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is it any use threatening her with her father?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is it genuine?
mdp.39015063923687	Is it worth THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK 79 while butting in?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is n't that odd, now?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is she getting rid of stuff?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is she-er- all right? ” Culver frowned.
mdp.39015063923687	Is that enough?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is that un- derstood?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is that yours?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is the man really past helping?"
mdp.39015063923687	Is there anywhere I can pick you up?"
mdp.39015063923687	It is rather late for a girl to be out alone, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063923687	It sounded so much more exciting than other jobs — so novel""But who are you — really?"
mdp.39015063923687	It's pretty tragic, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063923687	It's rather silly to stand talking here, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063923687	Jean, can you hear me?"
mdp.39015063923687	Let's forget it, shall we?"
mdp.39015063923687	Like this sherry, Vicar?
mdp.39015063923687	Look here, Bill; what will you give?"
mdp.39015063923687	Look what hap- pened when poor Mr. Coke got ill.""What happened?"
mdp.39015063923687	May I have a Quinness?"
mdp.39015063923687	Mind smoke?"
mdp.39015063923687	Mr. Culver got any news?"
mdp.39015063923687	Mrs. Coke's been here what — four?"
mdp.39015063923687	No objection, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063923687	No reason why the old bird should n't say where he bought it, is there?"
mdp.39015063923687	Now is our curiosity satisfied?"
mdp.39015063923687	Now, this girl; who'd you say she was?"
mdp.39015063923687	Now, what do I owe you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Now, when shall I send the car for you?"
mdp.39015063923687	Of Elsa, and the Rue Jan Hoeck, and Peter — Parry had said he was in Oldford yesterday; what the deuce did he mean by that?
mdp.39015063923687	Oh, wo n't you trust me even that little?"
mdp.39015063923687	Or had she ever married Coke?
mdp.39015063923687	Or was her story true?
mdp.39015063923687	Or what he knew?
mdp.39015063923687	Or would it be Ann?
mdp.39015063923687	Parry had scrawled:"What did we do last night?
mdp.39015063923687	Parry?"
mdp.39015063923687	Pleasant enough looking girl, is n't she?"
mdp.39015063923687	Plomesgate?"
mdp.39015063923687	Pompous old pet, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063923687	Poor Jean, I suppose you never heard any more about him?"
mdp.39015063923687	Presently she said:"Do n't you think it's rather impertinent of you to talk to Beth about me as you did?"
mdp.39015063923687	Remember a very good dinner we had here once?"
mdp.39015063923687	Remember that day?
mdp.39015063923687	Shall we go out now?"
mdp.39015063923687	She did have a breakdown with you? ”"Oh yes, ” Culver said quickly.
mdp.39015063923687	She dismissed the subject with a bored gesture, and went on quickly:"Since you are here, what about the stuff?"
mdp.39015063923687	She flushed and, to cover what he felt to be a blunder, he went on wildly:"What about this thing?"
mdp.39015063923687	She made no comment on his reply, but asked abruptly:"You going to see Bill?"
mdp.39015063923687	She was nice, too was she?"
mdp.39015063923687	Sleeping — or watching?
mdp.39015063923687	So he's retired, you say, Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	So it's a pity I'm not the last, eh?
mdp.39015063923687	So long as nobody was hurt, what does it matter?
mdp.39015063923687	So you appreciate nice things too?"
mdp.39015063923687	So you liked him, eh?"
mdp.39015063923687	Supposing this should be"them,"instead of the simple, sentimental Culver, the shadowy, ever- dreaded Nemesis?
mdp.39015063923687	THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK 121"Hump, old man?
mdp.39015063923687	THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK 163"But did n't you go to Southsea?"
mdp.39015063923687	THE STRANGE CASE OF"WILLIAM"COOK 35"Where are you going?"
mdp.39015063923687	Tell me that?
mdp.39015063923687	That fellow Peter?
mdp.39015063923687	That makes you hate a place so, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063923687	That's the last of that stunt, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063923687	That's the worst of these ama- teurs. ” “ And who's Elsa? ” Culver asked curiously.
mdp.39015063923687	The church?"
mdp.39015063923687	Then impulsively he took her in his arms:"And you've got to love me — got to, do you hear?"
mdp.39015063923687	Then to Culver:"He's told you, I suppose?
mdp.39015063923687	Then what have you got to say to this?
mdp.39015063923687	Then what was he doing as a detective?
mdp.39015063923687	Then what would Parry say to him?
mdp.39015063923687	Then what would happen?
mdp.39015063923687	Then, with an odd tenderness:"Look here, Jean, what's up; are you really ill?"
mdp.39015063923687	Then, with sudden decision, he said:"Like me to go and find out?"
mdp.39015063923687	Then:"Has she ever done anything of the kind before?"
mdp.39015063923687	They ca n't have gone up the other bank, can they?"
mdp.39015063923687	They did n't parade her?"
mdp.39015063923687	They've waited, have n't they?
mdp.39015063923687	Things been happening, eh?"
mdp.39015063923687	This time next year — where would she be?
mdp.39015063923687	Though they never found the necklace. ” “ But — but what did they say?"
mdp.39015063923687	To prevent an outburst, Culver invented a business tele- phone call to escape from the lawyer's irritating:"Do n't you think so, Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	To- morrow?"
mdp.39015063923687	Too fond of your money, yes?
mdp.39015063923687	Top of the'ill, you said?"
mdp.39015063923687	Was anyone inside that house?
mdp.39015063923687	Was he mad?
mdp.39015063923687	Was it any business of his, anyhow?
mdp.39015063923687	Was she a foreigner?
mdp.39015063923687	Was the Bidely man a dupe of hers, forced, perhaps, to adopt her own husband's identity to further her own evil designs?
mdp.39015063923687	Was the man a detective?
mdp.39015063923687	Was the woman a bigamist?
mdp.39015063923687	Was there a motive be- hind it?
mdp.39015063923687	Was you trying to fiddle with'un or anything, sir?"
mdp.39015063923687	Were the two, husband and wife, still hunting together: still preying on society after a quarter of a century?
mdp.39015063923687	Weston?"
mdp.39015063923687	What about a spot before you go up and shift?"
mdp.39015063923687	What brings you here, Richard Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	What could I do?
mdp.39015063923687	What did this apathetic, inscrutable man Parry know — or suspect — about Ann?
mdp.39015063923687	What did you get out of him?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you know about her?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you make of this, Parry?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you think of this, Bill?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you think, Mr. Parry, you have a. wide experience of the world?"
mdp.39015063923687	What do you want me to do?"
mdp.39015063923687	What had he wanted?
mdp.39015063923687	What happened to him, sir?"
mdp.39015063923687	What have you been up to?"
mdp.39015063923687	What have you got to say to that?"
mdp.39015063923687	What in heaven's name had come over the world?
mdp.39015063923687	What is it?"
mdp.39015063923687	What is this picture?"
mdp.39015063923687	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063923687	What on earth was Parry up to now?
mdp.39015063923687	What was going to happen then?
mdp.39015063923687	What was his place, now, in this ab- struse puzzle?
mdp.39015063923687	What was she doing with Bill Coke until nearly one?
mdp.39015063923687	What was that promise which Culver had given so readily and which had brought the last peace to the dying man?
mdp.39015063923687	What would you do in my place?
mdp.39015063923687	What would you?
mdp.39015063923687	What's that got to do with it?"
mdp.39015063923687	What's the matter with you?"
mdp.39015063923687	What's the time?"
mdp.39015063923687	What's the truth, now?
mdp.39015063923687	Where are you — London?"
mdp.39015063923687	Where did she come in?
mdp.39015063923687	Where'll I send it?"
mdp.39015063923687	Where's Ann?"
mdp.39015063923687	Where's the Congo man?"
mdp.39015063923687	Where's the best place in Ant- werp?"
mdp.39015063923687	Where?"
mdp.39015063923687	Which sex do you think that was, Vicar?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who is that?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who is that?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who shall I say?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who was this Elsa, this dark- eyed, conventional, but rather foreign- looking woman?
mdp.39015063923687	Who were the Garlands?
mdp.39015063923687	Who'd know?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who's Elsa?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who's been saying this?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who's in this gang?"
mdp.39015063923687	Who's your confederate who has been using his name- at Bidely?
mdp.39015063923687	Why all this elaborate trouble?
mdp.39015063923687	Why did she always make him behave like a clumsy hobbledehoy?
mdp.39015063923687	Why do n't you come and thank the English gentleman?
mdp.39015063923687	Why do you come here?"
mdp.39015063923687	Why had Jean kept that?
mdp.39015063923687	Why had he 6taged this extraordinary meeting?
mdp.39015063923687	Why the hell should a lot of foul, sneak thieves get stuff that has been in my mother's family for centuries?
mdp.39015063923687	Why was it, he asked himself, that church- workers always had such distinctive names?
mdp.39015063923687	Why will women keep these ferocious pets?"
mdp.39015063923687	Will you do that for me?"
mdp.39015063923687	Will you help?"
mdp.39015063923687	Will you let me drive it?
mdp.39015063923687	Will you'ave one?"
mdp.39015063923687	With a pitiless, con- scienceless woman of that kind, what chance of escape could there be for Ann Gray, if she were in her power?
mdp.39015063923687	Without them where would trade be?
mdp.39015063923687	Wo n't you dance?"
mdp.39015063923687	Wo n't you tell me — won't you confide in me?"
mdp.39015063923687	Would Mr. Thomas have a drink?
mdp.39015063923687	Would n't it look fishy if I cleared off too suddenly?"
mdp.39015063923687	Would n't you like to be able to fly out there now — into the mys- tery?
mdp.39015063923687	Would this be Parry on the phone, he asked himself; Parry to say that it was all over?
mdp.39015063923687	Would you go at once?"
mdp.39015063923687	Yardley?"
mdp.39015063923687	Yet what business was it of his?
mdp.39015063923687	You are going to stay on, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063923687	You do n't still think Culver knows anything?"
mdp.39015063923687	You do n't think Jean would have gone back on us?"
mdp.39015063923687	You game to do a tricky bit of work — no child's play, and a chance of getting yourself into trouble?
mdp.39015063923687	You got anything?"
mdp.39015063923687	You have a letter, or something for her?"
mdp.39015063923687	You have n't bad news to tell me?"
mdp.39015063923687	You know Culver had an accident in Antwerp, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063923687	You know Plomesgate?"
mdp.39015063923687	You know where to put the punt?"
mdp.39015063923687	You mean to say you've been in communication with her all the time I've been down here?"
mdp.39015063923687	You recall Lady Ellenglaze's opinion of me?
mdp.39015063923687	You remember anything?"
mdp.39015063923687	You rotting?"
mdp.39015063923687	You shut your eyes to unpleasant things and pretend they do n't exist, eh?
mdp.39015063923687	You sure he's a parson?"
mdp.39015063923687	You understand?"
mdp.39015063923687	You want to see Marie Schmidt, eh?
mdp.39015063923687	You will come, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	You will go?
mdp.39015063923687	You will stay to tea, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063923687	You will, please say you will?"
mdp.39015063923687	You'd be sick, too, would n't you?"
mdp.39015063923687	You'll help me?"
mdp.39015063923687	You're coming along later, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063923687	You're not a detective?"
mdp.39015063923687	You're quite safe — who'd suspect you?
mdp.39015063923687	Your man was dark, was he, Culver?"
mdp.39015063923687	or"That sound likely to you?"
mdp.39015063923687	she said in the most natural way; then to Culver:"Wo n't you come into the house?
mdp.39015063923687	£"Or are you going to tell her what I have told you?"
mdp.39015063923687	“ But can you tell me who is this Mrs. Coke who seems to fascinate her so much?
mdp.39015063923687	“ But do you mean to say they caught the two of them-red- handed? ” Culver asked incredulously.
mdp.39015063923687	“ Why should I believe that? ” Bill had caught him again, caught him with a last despairing effort.
mdp.39015063923687	“ Why? ” he asked, trapped by the subtlety of her question.
mdp.39015063923687	“ Yes? ” She waited, as if she expected him to say more.
mdp.39015063923687	“ You're a pal of Bill's, I suppose? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063956547	A big thing? mdp.39015063956547 A bit of broken bottle, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063956547	A bit short on the male side, are n't you?
mdp.39015063956547	A bit unsafe, is n't it, when you count chickens in the shell? mdp.39015063956547 A cocktail?"
mdp.39015063956547	A skid, you say? mdp.39015063956547 Advice?
mdp.39015063956547	Ah, I see, sergeant,he suggested,"It's this murder case you have in your mind — Teddy Barford, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956547	An accomplice of whom, sergeant? mdp.39015063956547 An acquaintance?"
mdp.39015063956547	And if I happen to agree with Peel, by any chance?
mdp.39015063956547	And meanwhile the unfortunate dead man was left by the roadside to horrify the next passer- by?
mdp.39015063956547	And that's all up to date?
mdp.39015063956547	And the rest of your story?
mdp.39015063956547	And then?
mdp.39015063956547	And then?
mdp.39015063956547	And then?
mdp.39015063956547	And this will be Mr. Francia, I suppose? mdp.39015063956547 And what happened next, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	And when a man fires a pistol, he leaves his finger- marks on it too, does n't he?
mdp.39015063956547	And why do you tell me all this?
mdp.39015063956547	And yet you think you'll cure him by showing him the two of them together? mdp.39015063956547 And you believed all that?"
mdp.39015063956547	Any particular part of the country you'd like to see?
mdp.39015063956547	Anyone else in the room except him?
mdp.39015063956547	Anything further that Sergeant Ledbury's un- earthed?
mdp.39015063956547	Are n't you going on, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Are you going to pick him up?
mdp.39015063956547	Beefsteak?
mdp.39015063956547	But there's no harm in being thorough, is there?
mdp.39015063956547	But who'd be firing a gun up here? mdp.39015063956547 But wo n't it be a lovely trip when it does come?
mdp.39015063956547	By the way,he asked,"are there any special ar- rangements for this afternoon?
mdp.39015063956547	Care to play, Rex?
mdp.39015063956547	Care to take me for a row on the lake, Rex?
mdp.39015063956547	Did he start off with a jerk?
mdp.39015063956547	Did n't I tell you he would?
mdp.39015063956547	Did n't it come as a bit of a surprise, sir? mdp.39015063956547 Did you arrange about picking him up as we pass?"
mdp.39015063956547	Did you do it?
mdp.39015063956547	Did you ever shoot with an air- gun, Miss Anstru- ther?
mdp.39015063956547	Did you notice anything remarkable about them?
mdp.39015063956547	Do you make anything of that, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Do you think a man who had just shot himself fatally would take the trouble to snick that into place?
mdp.39015063956547	Do you think that was the kindest thing to do?
mdp.39015063956547	Do you yourself think there was, after examining the track closely?
mdp.39015063956547	Does it suggest something to you?
mdp.39015063956547	Dr. Roca, you mean?
mdp.39015063956547	Drove past in a car and happened to like the look of the place?
mdp.39015063956547	Elsie's at Fern Lodge, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Ever hear of the French method — reconstituting the crime, they call it? mdp.39015063956547 Feeling all right again, Elsie?"
mdp.39015063956547	Francia? mdp.39015063956547 Give me another cigarette, please?"
mdp.39015063956547	Go ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE? mdp.39015063956547 Going out to the Argentine, are you?"
mdp.39015063956547	Greatest bungle of my life?
mdp.39015063956547	Had a good holiday, Clinton?
mdp.39015063956547	Has anything else been disturbed that you know of?
mdp.39015063956547	Has he found out anything?
mdp.39015063956547	He had a car, then?
mdp.39015063956547	He had? mdp.39015063956547 Hear that, Elsie?
mdp.39015063956547	Home?
mdp.39015063956547	Hope you had a good time?
mdp.39015063956547	How could I? mdp.39015063956547 How did it happen?"
mdp.39015063956547	How far is it from the stand to the dead man's chair — the back of the chair — roughly?
mdp.39015063956547	How should I know, sergeant? mdp.39015063956547 How should I know?"
mdp.39015063956547	How's Elsie feeling now?
mdp.39015063956547	How's the investigation going? mdp.39015063956547 How's the play getting on?"
mdp.39015063956547	I hope no one was hurt?
mdp.39015063956547	I mean, is he good enough for her and that sort of thing?
mdp.39015063956547	I say, Vincent— Johnnie attacked him in a tone blending courtesy with determination —"would you let me have these foreign stamps, please?
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose I ought to make a note of that, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose you're merely a bird of passage here?
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose you've taken a note of the appearance of the face and so forth?
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose your'Well?' mdp.39015063956547 I think you wanted to speak to me about something, sergeant?
mdp.39015063956547	In bad company, perhaps?
mdp.39015063956547	Indeed?
mdp.39015063956547	Indeed?
mdp.39015063956547	Indeed?
mdp.39015063956547	Is he still worrying round with Meccano and that sort of thing?
mdp.39015063956547	Is it not time that we were returning to Raynham Parva?
mdp.39015063956547	Is that enough?
mdp.39015063956547	Is that you, Sir Clinton?
mdp.39015063956547	Is there anything else you'd like to see, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Is this win- dow just as it was when you were in the room?
mdp.39015063956547	It does n't seem quite right to be making arrangements behind her back, does it?
mdp.39015063956547	It's pretty obvious, is n't it, provided you swallow 96 GRIM VENGEANCE the initial hypothesis? mdp.39015063956547 Johnnie's in bed long ago, I suppose; but where's Elsie?
mdp.39015063956547	Jones, sir? mdp.39015063956547 League of Nations, you mean, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063956547	Ledbury?
mdp.39015063956547	Let's the clutch in with a bang, you mean?
mdp.39015063956547	Like Quevedo, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Like this place in the country, after having been a town- bird all your life?
mdp.39015063956547	Make anything of that?
mdp.39015063956547	Married, is she? mdp.39015063956547 May I smoke?
mdp.39015063956547	Micheldean Abbas is just down the line, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	Mind standing back a bit while I turn? mdp.39015063956547 Mr. Quevedo being the man in the motor- car, and Teddy your old friend?"
mdp.39015063956547	Mr. Quevedo was not a friend of mine, you under- stand? mdp.39015063956547 No use bringing an extra set of car tracks to mix things up, is there, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063956547	No? mdp.39015063956547 Not mine, by any chance, are they?"
mdp.39015063956547	Now what about the rest of the facts? mdp.39015063956547 Now what about your second possibility about Bar- ford's behaviour?"
mdp.39015063956547	Now what about yourself?
mdp.39015063956547	Now where's this pony of yours, Johnnie?
mdp.39015063956547	Nui- sance, is n't it? mdp.39015063956547 Oh, indeed?
mdp.39015063956547	Oh, it's that, is it? mdp.39015063956547 Oh, my opinion?
mdp.39015063956547	Oh, then you're Sir Clinton Driffield?
mdp.39015063956547	Oh, uncle, now you're out of the police, could n't you manage it?
mdp.39015063956547	Oh, you noticed that, did you, sir? mdp.39015063956547 Or an expanding one?"
mdp.39015063956547	Ordinary voices, or angry?
mdp.39015063956547	Parasite? mdp.39015063956547 Quite happy?"
mdp.39015063956547	Rather awkward, going out to a strange country without knowing the language, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	Rex did that for me?
mdp.39015063956547	Roca?
mdp.39015063956547	Say three, or four o'clock, then, at a guess?
mdp.39015063956547	See that little pawl that can be moved up to engage in the notch in the sliding jacket? mdp.39015063956547 See that?
mdp.39015063956547	Seen Roca to- day?
mdp.39015063956547	Sir Clinton Driffield, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Six weeks?
mdp.39015063956547	Slang, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063956547	So Barford's cleared, in your opinion?
mdp.39015063956547	So it seems that my sister, my niece, and myself are the guarantors in this business?
mdp.39015063956547	So it turned out a blank end?
mdp.39015063956547	So kickin's in the game, is it?
mdp.39015063956547	So no man could stand behind this chair and talk into the mouthpiece at the same time?
mdp.39015063956547	So we're all going off there in the afternoon?
mdp.39015063956547	Some more tennis?
mdp.39015063956547	Sounds a bit mysterious, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	South America?
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose we go a bit farther out?
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose we go that length together, then?
mdp.39015063956547	Surely we must have met before?
mdp.39015063956547	Swalmy?
mdp.39015063956547	Tall, clean- shaven, fair- haired, blue eyes?
mdp.39015063956547	That right?
mdp.39015063956547	That you, Estelle?
mdp.39015063956547	That's Raynham Parva just ahead, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	The main thing is, though, does he suit Elsie?
mdp.39015063956547	The window itself, and a bit of the wall on either side, perhaps?
mdp.39015063956547	Then you think it's another murder case, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	There's a pine spinney running down to the road near here, is n't there?
mdp.39015063956547	This Mr. Quevedo, then, was nobody of much interest to you personally? mdp.39015063956547 This is the mark of Barford's car, I take it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Turkish?
mdp.39015063956547	Turn to the left at the gate, sir, and then, if you ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE? mdp.39015063956547 Unless he was a cripple?"
mdp.39015063956547	Want a pencil to make notes with? mdp.39015063956547 Was that near the lodge gate?"
mdp.39015063956547	We're going to play tennis, you said?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, sergeant, got to the bottom of it yet?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, sergeant?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, sir,he said,"might I ask who was driving your car last night?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, what about his car?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, what happened after that?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, what if he does? mdp.39015063956547 Well, what next?"
mdp.39015063956547	Well, what was I to think?
mdp.39015063956547	Well?
mdp.39015063956547	Well?
mdp.39015063956547	What about some tennis?
mdp.39015063956547	What about the other half of the family? mdp.39015063956547 What about those sketches you and your sister were putting together?"
mdp.39015063956547	What am I doing here, if I may ask?
mdp.39015063956547	What can he want to see me about?
mdp.39015063956547	What did you do?
mdp.39015063956547	What do you expect? mdp.39015063956547 What do you make of it yourself, sir?"
mdp.39015063956547	What do you make of it, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063956547	What do you make of that?
mdp.39015063956547	What do you propose to do next?
mdp.39015063956547	What game are they up to now?
mdp.39015063956547	What sort of a man is her husband, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	What sort of driver is Mr. Teddy Barford? mdp.39015063956547 What sort of thing is it?
mdp.39015063956547	What was the next thing you did?
mdp.39015063956547	What would I be jealous about? mdp.39015063956547 What's Estelle got to do with it?"
mdp.39015063956547	What's all this I hear?
mdp.39015063956547	What's all this about?
mdp.39015063956547	What's all this about?
mdp.39015063956547	What's happened since they took me away?
mdp.39015063956547	What's that?
mdp.39015063956547	What's the make?
mdp.39015063956547	What's wrong with that? mdp.39015063956547 What's wrong, Elsie?"
mdp.39015063956547	Where have you been?
mdp.39015063956547	Where's my cigarette- case?
mdp.39015063956547	Who's Vincent?
mdp.39015063956547	Who's a parasite?
mdp.39015063956547	Why not say it yourself?
mdp.39015063956547	Why not try over one or two of your sketches?
mdp.39015063956547	Why, where's Vincent's car?
mdp.39015063956547	Would there be any ob- jection to my going down to the lakeside to study the habits of the water- fowl? mdp.39015063956547 Would you say that was plate glass from the windscreen?"
mdp.39015063956547	Yes, he has a car all right,Ledbury admitted,"but its tyres are worn smooth and that does n't help much, does it?
mdp.39015063956547	Yes, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	Yes? mdp.39015063956547 Yes?"
mdp.39015063956547	You are n't sending in your resignation, then?
mdp.39015063956547	You are n't thinking of leaving immediately, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956547	You ca n't find the pistol?
mdp.39015063956547	You did n't know him long, then?
mdp.39015063956547	You did n't leave me much chance of refusing, did you?
mdp.39015063956547	You did n't say anything about a murder to Mr. Francia, I noticed?
mdp.39015063956547	You do n't speak Spanish, then?
mdp.39015063956547	You do seem to have a knack of running up against these South Americans, do n't you? mdp.39015063956547 You had a moustache then, had n't you?
mdp.39015063956547	You have n't done all that to- day, surely?
mdp.39015063956547	You mean Quevedo knew him well, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	You mean these'll be his back wheels with the brakes on and the wheels locked — just sliding on the road instead of rolling, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	You mean, do n't you, that if Quevedo got cut by being thrown through the windscreen, then he'd have bled outside the car and not inside? mdp.39015063956547 You read all that from the things you saw, sir?"
mdp.39015063956547	You really want it, sir? mdp.39015063956547 You see, sir, in this country one ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?
mdp.39015063956547	You think that means the shot was fired from outside the room, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	You think there was n't a skid, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	You think this very unimportant, Sir Clinton? mdp.39015063956547 You were in here with the deceased, were n't you, before Brandon came in?"
mdp.39015063956547	You will? mdp.39015063956547 You would?
mdp.39015063956547	You'd see what the coroner's jury brought in, sir? mdp.39015063956547 You'll be able to tell us something about him, sir?"
mdp.39015063956547	You'll get everything put through now, sergeant? mdp.39015063956547 You're Sir Clinton Driffield, sir?"
mdp.39015063956547	You're going, then?
mdp.39015063956547	You're interested in archaeology?
mdp.39015063956547	You're sure he's gone?
mdp.39015063956547	You've been abroad lately, sir, have n't you?
mdp.39015063956547	You've no power to force me to make a statement?
mdp.39015063956547	You, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	Your car's a five- seater, is n't it? mdp.39015063956547 Your new air- gun?"
mdp.39015063956547	0 CONTENTS I THE AFFAIR BY THE ROADSIDE II THE MAN FROM THE ARGENTINE III SERGEANT LEDBURY IV ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?

mdp.39015063956547	136 GRIM VENGEANCE"It seems rather a brutal cure, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	284 GRIM VENGEANCE"Yes?"
mdp.39015063956547	288 GRIM VENGEANCE"Elsie told you what happened next?"
mdp.39015063956547	7079?"
mdp.39015063956547	A cry, or what?"
mdp.39015063956547	A friend of yours, sir, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956547	A good one?"
mdp.39015063956547	A man's body?"
mdp.39015063956547	A pretty conceit, is n't that true?
mdp.39015063956547	ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?
mdp.39015063956547	ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?

mdp.39015063956547	Aloud, he asked:"Well, who is it?"
mdp.39015063956547	And if one went off the road, what easily described place was there in the neighbourhood except the stone circle itself?
mdp.39015063956547	And what grounds had the police for suspect- ing Francia?
mdp.39015063956547	And what's this stop- press news you're burn- ing to distribute?"
mdp.39015063956547	And yet, if Rex had not killed the Argentiner, why did he remain silent under what was practically an accusa- tion?
mdp.39015063956547	Any blood on them, did you notice?"
mdp.39015063956547	Any- thing left of the car that might be useful?"
mdp.39015063956547	Anything peculiar about the position of the hole, for instance?"
mdp.39015063956547	Are these the sketches?"
mdp.39015063956547	Are you coming too, Uncle Clinton?"
mdp.39015063956547	Beyond that, our acquaintance has n't provided much material, has it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Brandon?"
mdp.39015063956547	But would the local police get to the bottom of it?
mdp.39015063956547	By the way, Clinton, are you really dropping the Chief Con- stableship?"
mdp.39015063956547	By the way, did anything occur to you about the wound, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063956547	By the way, did you note any- thing about blood on his clothes?"
mdp.39015063956547	By the way, have any cars passed this way since the smash?"
mdp.39015063956547	By the way, know anything about these automatics, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063956547	By the way, which is the shortest way to the garage?
mdp.39015063956547	CHAPTER IV: ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?
mdp.39015063956547	Ca n't you be frank with us?
mdp.39015063956547	Ca n't you do something to help poor Teddy?
mdp.39015063956547	Can you see how that could happen?"
mdp.39015063956547	Could he decently go so far as that, on the strength of mere suspicion?
mdp.39015063956547	Could he draw back now, if he were asked to go further with his assistance?
mdp.39015063956547	Could you drop your own fishing for a morn- ing now and again and give him a bit of tutoring?
mdp.39015063956547	Could you have seen if she'd had gloves on, or anything like that?
mdp.39015063956547	Could you see her hands?
mdp.39015063956547	Could you see the rings on the girl's hand, for instance?"
mdp.39015063956547	Curious, is it not?"
mdp.39015063956547	Detailed descriptions of i8 GRIM VENGEANCE Dutch windmills?
mdp.39015063956547	Do n't try to make up a story in the hope of helping Teddy — what's his other name, by the way?"
mdp.39015063956547	Do you mind if I see them?
mdp.39015063956547	Do you mind if I take the lot?
mdp.39015063956547	Do you see how I felt?"
mdp.39015063956547	Do you think he would, uncle?"
mdp.39015063956547	Does n't that justify my ex- istence?"
mdp.39015063956547	Fell'?"
mdp.39015063956547	Francia?"
mdp.39015063956547	From the spasmodic MAN WITH THE TELESCOPE 277"Magnifies a good deal, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	Got everything cleared up now at the Bale Stones?"
mdp.39015063956547	Got on the track of your homicidal friend yet?"
mdp.39015063956547	He'd sobered up ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?
mdp.39015063956547	Here he was, with a dead man at his feet, asking a boy whom he had known for years the plain question:"Did you do it?"
mdp.39015063956547	His blood would have been on the grass and not on the floor and seats of the car?
mdp.39015063956547	How could he have found that out?
mdp.39015063956547	How many people in this country are running round in cars with well- worn tyres, sir?"
mdp.39015063956547	How would you look at that, sir?"
mdp.39015063956547	I am afraid it will not be fit to use for some time?"
mdp.39015063956547	I could n't have married you myself, could I?
mdp.39015063956547	I fell in love, you understand?
mdp.39015063956547	I had enough money to make things smooth; I had the dream of a career, you understand?
mdp.39015063956547	I mean, I'd like to feel I had n't just been led by the nose, you see?
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose that's not taking you too far?"
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose that's one of the Meccano bits too?"
mdp.39015063956547	I suppose you could n't get much into your field of view?"
mdp.39015063956547	I take it?"
mdp.39015063956547	I was only about six then, was n't I?"
mdp.39015063956547	I wonder if he'd give me these if I asked for them?
mdp.39015063956547	I'd no notion badgers were as big as that, had you?"
mdp.39015063956547	I3O GRIM VENGEANCE"So Sergeant Ledbury found he'd made a mistake?"
mdp.39015063956547	If he did, would his refusal not lead to Ledbury suspecting something?
mdp.39015063956547	If he was the girl's husband, why had he left her by the roadside?
mdp.39015063956547	If it's a murder case — you're not having a joke, I take it?
mdp.39015063956547	Investigation?
mdp.39015063956547	Is n't he fish- ing?"
mdp.39015063956547	Is n't it pretty?"
mdp.39015063956547	Is n't that about it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Is that the chain of reasoning, sergeant?
mdp.39015063956547	Is there any- thing left on the floor of the car or on the seats?
mdp.39015063956547	It seems strange, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	It's a sample of police manners, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956547	May I prepare it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Me?"
mdp.39015063956547	Mother's told you all about us, I expect, has n't she?"
mdp.39015063956547	Next?"
mdp.39015063956547	Nothing?"
mdp.39015063956547	Now what next?"
mdp.39015063956547	Now when I, representing the 294 GRIM VENGEANCE"See now how it could have been done, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063956547	Now, if you were to tell me all about it, there would n't be much for me in it, would there?
mdp.39015063956547	Now, would you let me have the name of the driver?"
mdp.39015063956547	Only, you will be candid, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063956547	Or if her hand was open or shut?"
mdp.39015063956547	Perhaps you could direct me?"
mdp.39015063956547	Perhaps you'd like to hear this new evidence?"
mdp.39015063956547	Quite clear, I trust?"
mdp.39015063956547	Really?"
mdp.39015063956547	Roca had possibly squared THE RESPONSIBILITY 159 an account with Quevedo; but was that the whole of the bill?
mdp.39015063956547	Roca?"
mdp.39015063956547	Roca?"
mdp.39015063956547	She had ACCIDENT OR HOMICIDE?
mdp.39015063956547	Simple, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063956547	So I said to him:'You've heard of Sir Clinton Driffield that's just retired from the Police?
mdp.39015063956547	So he's spotted that?
mdp.39015063956547	So where are you?"
mdp.39015063956547	Spanish?"
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose that before the police got upon Francia's track, something THE GOVERNMENT MISSION 203 happened to Francia himself?
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose that happened to Elsie and Estelle?
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose we call in an umpire to settle it one way or the other?'
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose we take a short run round?
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose we turn in?
mdp.39015063956547	Suppose you let them all off for the afternoon?"
mdp.39015063956547	That meant that he'd never got out of his car until the smash was over — that's obvious, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956547	That suit you?"
mdp.39015063956547	That's correct, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956547	That's not much help, is it?"
mdp.39015063956547	That's right enough, now I come to see it; but it does n't seem to get us much forrarder, does it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Then, as though a thought had struck him, he in- quired:"Was anyone else hurt in the accident?"
mdp.39015063956547	Then, turning to Noreen Anstruther, he added:"Care to have a row on the lake, Miss Anstruther?
mdp.39015063956547	Very sad, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Was he?"
mdp.39015063956547	Was n't it nice of Vincent to think of it?
mdp.39015063956547	Well, when they overhauled Roca's luggage, what d'you think they found amongst it?"
mdp.39015063956547	What about asking him to settle who's right?
mdp.39015063956547	What about his being an accomplice, ex post facto — shielding the real criminal, like?
mdp.39015063956547	What about this letter, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063956547	What could be done?
mdp.39015063956547	What do you make of it?"
mdp.39015063956547	What do you make of that?"
mdp.39015063956547	What do you make of the villain of the piece?"
mdp.39015063956547	What do you say, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063956547	What do you want advice for, sergeant?
mdp.39015063956547	What had happened to Marcelle Barrere in the same case?
mdp.39015063956547	What happened next?"
mdp.39015063956547	What if he took a hand in the game and eliminated Francia?
mdp.39015063956547	What is he?
mdp.39015063956547	What is it you want?"
mdp.39015063956547	What sort of notions were they?"
mdp.39015063956547	What was his own position in the case?
mdp.39015063956547	What was one to make of it?
mdp.39015063956547	What's happened?"
mdp.39015063956547	What's the length of the cord attaching the mouthpiece to the desk- stand?"
mdp.39015063956547	Where do I begin?"
mdp.39015063956547	Where do they keep them?"
mdp.39015063956547	Which is the way to the boat- house?"
mdp.39015063956547	Which side am I likely to be on: for the Centre or against it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Who could it have been?
mdp.39015063956547	Who knows?"
mdp.39015063956547	Who would suspect the broken- down doctor, who was so useful when he was n't drunk?
mdp.39015063956547	Why had the doctor been so manifestly anxious to visit the monument; and yet, when he reached it, shown not the slightest interest in it?
mdp.39015063956547	Will you come now?
mdp.39015063956547	Wo n't it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Would you care for that?"
mdp.39015063956547	Would you mind giving me a lift?
mdp.39015063956547	Would you mind taking the dressing- room to- night and leaving me to myself?"
mdp.39015063956547	Would you yourself just pitch a blood- stained bit of bottle over the hedge at the very point where people would look for it?"
mdp.39015063956547	Yarrow?"
mdp.39015063956547	Yet if he allowed the party to leave the country, what guarantee had he against disaster?
mdp.39015063956547	You brought your racquet, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063956547	You did n't expect to lay hands on Mr. Jones in ten minutes, surely?"
mdp.39015063956547	You did n't notice the re- port of a pistol — or a cry?"
mdp.39015063956547	You do not know the Mihanovkh, Sir Clinton?
mdp.39015063956547	You have n't got a car, Rex?
mdp.39015063956547	You have n't seen the country hereabouts, have you?"
mdp.39015063956547	You heard a noise?
mdp.39015063956547	You know the routine, surely?"
mdp.39015063956547	You probably met one of'em down the road?"
mdp.39015063956547	You see what I mean?"
mdp.39015063956547	You think so?"
mdp.39015063956547	You think there's no reason why we should n't let Teddy Barford out now?
mdp.39015063956547	You understand?
mdp.39015063956547	You understand?"
mdp.39015063956547	You were n't driving it yourself, of course?"
mdp.39015063956547	You will help him, Sir Clinton, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063956547	You wo n't go against his opinion, will you?
mdp.39015063956547	You wo n't, please?"
mdp.39015063956547	You'll get it off at once?
mdp.39015063956547	You'll have his home address — I mean, his business premises in America — of course?"
mdp.39015063956547	You'll play, of course, mother?"
mdp.39015063956547	You'll play, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063956547	You'll remember how he went off and interviewed Roca over the Quevedo business, sir?
mdp.39015063956547	You're sure you'll be all right if I leave you here?"
mdp.39015063956547	Your recognition of me forced my hand, is n't that true?
mdp.39015063956547	and Mr. Albert Londres'book “ The Road to Buenos Ayres. ” J. J. C.-4.7.?
mdp.39015063956547	are you really sure no harm'U come to Rex?"
mdp.39015063956547	means'What do I think of your husband?'
mdp.39015063956547	the pot- companion, shall we say?
mdp.39015063548831	Am I right?
mdp.39015063548831	An arrest?
mdp.39015063548831	And I suppose you did n't sleep the night before? mdp.39015063548831 And do they suspect?"
mdp.39015063548831	And he got away?
mdp.39015063548831	And that's all?
mdp.39015063548831	And what decided you not to?
mdp.39015063548831	And what makes you think he's the murderer?
mdp.39015063548831	And when Myrtle did n't come you came back to the house?
mdp.39015063548831	And who found him?
mdp.39015063548831	And you do n't know who he is?
mdp.39015063548831	And you do n't know who it was?
mdp.39015063548831	And you do n't know why? mdp.39015063548831 And you do n't?"
mdp.39015063548831	And you drink that a sufficient motive?
mdp.39015063548831	And you have n't seen her since?
mdp.39015063548831	And you're going to let me draw my own conclu- sions?
mdp.39015063548831	And you?
mdp.39015063548831	Any pain now?
mdp.39015063548831	Anyhow — What time did you get it?
mdp.39015063548831	Anyhow, what are we going to do?
mdp.39015063548831	Anyone in the house?
mdp.39015063548831	Anything happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Are n't you leaving us rather in the lurch?
mdp.39015063548831	Are you Captain Hawkesbridge?
mdp.39015063548831	Are you coming my way?
mdp.39015063548831	Are you coming to the inquest to- day?
mdp.39015063548831	Are you coming?
mdp.39015063548831	Are you sure she said that?
mdp.39015063548831	At the same place?
mdp.39015063548831	Blackmail? mdp.39015063548831 But are n't you forgetting that I've acted in your interests up to now?
mdp.39015063548831	But are you suggesting that X followed Miss Ferribee to the station, boarded the same train, and later mur- dered her? mdp.39015063548831 But are you sure he's dead?
mdp.39015063548831	But he questioned you yesterday?
mdp.39015063548831	But how could I know what he wanted?
mdp.39015063548831	But how do you know you can trust him?
mdp.39015063548831	But how the devil did X know?
mdp.39015063548831	But if the guilt is put on Carlin?
mdp.39015063548831	But if you found them why?
mdp.39015063548831	But surely they wanted to see him?
mdp.39015063548831	But surely you do n't think?
mdp.39015063548831	But surely?
mdp.39015063548831	But the scream that woke me up?
mdp.39015063548831	But what are you afraid of?
mdp.39015063548831	But what are you going to do?
mdp.39015063548831	But what are you — I mean,Hawkesbridge cor- rected himself,"did she belong here?"
mdp.39015063548831	But what could he do?
mdp.39015063548831	But what does she want him for?
mdp.39015063548831	But what had you to fear if you had done noth- ing?
mdp.39015063548831	But what have you got a pistol for?
mdp.39015063548831	But why did Carlin clear out?
mdp.39015063548831	But why did Joyce go to that wood?
mdp.39015063548831	But why did n't you tell me?
mdp.39015063548831	But why on earth did she suggest such a place?
mdp.39015063548831	But why should anyone want to murder her? mdp.39015063548831 But why?"
mdp.39015063548831	But — You mean he's been killed?
mdp.39015063548831	By the same person?
mdp.39015063548831	By the way, how is she?
mdp.39015063548831	Ca n't I meet a friend and?
mdp.39015063548831	Ca n't you decide on your own?
mdp.39015063548831	Can Captain Hawkesbridge see the body?
mdp.39015063548831	Can I see Miss Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	Can you help?
mdp.39015063548831	Captain Hawkesbridge, what are you doing here?
mdp.39015063548831	Carlin never showed up at the employment bureau, did he?
mdp.39015063548831	Colonel Merrow's butler? mdp.39015063548831 Colonel,"said Ravenhill abruptly,"do you really believe that Carlin murdered Miss Ferribee and Joyce?"
mdp.39015063548831	Come on, manl Why the devil do n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	Come out- side a minute, will you?
mdp.39015063548831	Could he be?
mdp.39015063548831	Could you get me a sheet of notepaper from the house?
mdp.39015063548831	D'you call two murders nothing? mdp.39015063548831 D'you think he's gone?"
mdp.39015063548831	D'you think they'll arrest him?
mdp.39015063548831	D'you think you could carry on alone?
mdp.39015063548831	D'you think,he asked the Colonel,"we might have a drink, Sir?"
mdp.39015063548831	D'you think?
mdp.39015063548831	Dare n't I?
mdp.39015063548831	Dearest, what is it?
mdp.39015063548831	Did I tell him about it then? mdp.39015063548831 Did X want to appear to be a murderer?
mdp.39015063548831	Did he say she was alone?
mdp.39015063548831	Did he see you when you returned?
mdp.39015063548831	Did she say anything about Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	Did the Colonel tell you?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you know Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you know about the police?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you know the girl?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you meet anyone at all?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you send it to him? mdp.39015063548831 Did you, by any chance,"Ravenhill asked her,"speak last night to your mother about anything that has happened?"
mdp.39015063548831	Did you? mdp.39015063548831 Didn't — weren't you going to do so the evening I arrived?"
mdp.39015063548831	Discover anything?
mdp.39015063548831	Do n't you like him?
mdp.39015063548831	Do n't you see that we've assumed that there was a deeper motive because that one did n't seem strong enough? mdp.39015063548831 Do n't you see what happened?"
mdp.39015063548831	Do n't you see? mdp.39015063548831 Do n't you see?"
mdp.39015063548831	Do n't you think we ought to tell the police about Carlin? mdp.39015063548831 Do n't you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Do the police know about those footprints?
mdp.39015063548831	Do you know why I was asked down here? mdp.39015063548831 Do you mean""Can you deny that they've nothing to do with you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Do you mean? But I do n't understand,ex- claimed Osyth, looking from one to the other.
mdp.39015063548831	Do you sus- pect who X is?
mdp.39015063548831	Do you? mdp.39015063548831 Do you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Does Lyall live in the house?
mdp.39015063548831	Does Mrs. Merrow know the man?
mdp.39015063548831	Does he want me?
mdp.39015063548831	Does it differ? mdp.39015063548831 Does n't recognise you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Does the doctor agree?
mdp.39015063548831	Does your mother know what the reason is?
mdp.39015063548831	Draw the curtains, will you?
mdp.39015063548831	Even though he poached on your father's land?
mdp.39015063548831	Exploring?
mdp.39015063548831	Feel better?
mdp.39015063548831	Forgive my putting it like this, but there's a lot behind your story that we do n't know, is n't there? mdp.39015063548831 Got a mackintosh?"
mdp.39015063548831	Had n't you better explain?
mdp.39015063548831	Had n't you better have some quinine or some- thing?
mdp.39015063548831	Has Joyce told you?
mdp.39015063548831	Has any- thing happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Has anything happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Has something happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Has the doctor gone?
mdp.39015063548831	Have another?
mdp.39015063548831	Have the Inspector in here too, will you?
mdp.39015063548831	Have the police discovered anything about that girl who was murdered last night?
mdp.39015063548831	Have they arrested her?
mdp.39015063548831	Have we got to tell them?
mdp.39015063548831	Have you been to sleep?
mdp.39015063548831	Have you discovered anything, then?
mdp.39015063548831	Have you ever heard the name?
mdp.39015063548831	Have you finished? mdp.39015063548831 Have you finished?"
mdp.39015063548831	Have you forgotten the vendetta? mdp.39015063548831 Have you got a cigarette on you?
mdp.39015063548831	Have you heard the news?
mdp.39015063548831	Have you seen the paper, Osyth?
mdp.39015063548831	Hawkesbridge tells me you know as much as he does?
mdp.39015063548831	Hawkesbridge,he said,"does this affair differ from the others?"
mdp.39015063548831	Hawkesbridge,said the Colonel faintly,"what are you doing?"
mdp.39015063548831	He had a shock yesterday, had n't he?
mdp.39015063548831	He went there once before when his mother was ill."So she's been ill before? mdp.39015063548831 Her friend, was she?"
mdp.39015063548831	How are the patients?
mdp.39015063548831	How can I help it? mdp.39015063548831 How can you?"
mdp.39015063548831	How d'you know that?
mdp.39015063548831	How d'you know that?
mdp.39015063548831	How d'you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	How did X know that Miss Ferribee had written to Miss Merrow? mdp.39015063548831 How did you get in?"
mdp.39015063548831	How did you know?
mdp.39015063548831	How do you do, Sir?
mdp.39015063548831	How do you know about it?
mdp.39015063548831	How do you know?
mdp.39015063548831	How long are you staying, Captain Hawkesbridge?
mdp.39015063548831	How should I know?
mdp.39015063548831	How the deuce do you know?
mdp.39015063548831	How the devil do you know that?
mdp.39015063548831	How?
mdp.39015063548831	How?
mdp.39015063548831	How?
mdp.39015063548831	Hullo? mdp.39015063548831 I feel as if I'd""What caused the feeling?"
mdp.39015063548831	I know there's something wrong and"Something wrongl What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose I shall see you again some time?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose eventually Mrs. Merrow will be a wit- ness?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose it is n't possible that Carlin killed Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose the poacher's to be trusted?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose there's one hereabouts?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose you told your father this time?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose you're just making enquiries about her?
mdp.39015063548831	I suppose you've heard about Mrs. Ferribee's niece?
mdp.39015063548831	I wonder why you think he'd be upset if he knew?
mdp.39015063548831	I'd thought of that, too,she said at length,"but it could n't be Lyall — unless""Unless what?"
mdp.39015063548831	If you do, is n't it rather foolish to fight this out alone when I could help you if I knew what it was all about?
mdp.39015063548831	Is Mrs. Merrow badly hurt, Major?
mdp.39015063548831	Is anything wrong?
mdp.39015063548831	Is anything wrong?
mdp.39015063548831	Is anything wrong?
mdp.39015063548831	Is everything all right?
mdp.39015063548831	Is he — what does he want?
mdp.39015063548831	Is his heart very bad?
mdp.39015063548831	Is my wife mixed up in this?
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't he?
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't it strange?
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't it true that you once thought of taking me into your confidence?
mdp.39015063548831	Is she much hurt?
mdp.39015063548831	Is that all?
mdp.39015063548831	Is that all?
mdp.39015063548831	Is that so?
mdp.39015063548831	Is that — is that all you'll tell me?
mdp.39015063548831	Is the Colonel in?
mdp.39015063548831	Is the Colonel out?
mdp.39015063548831	Is there a short cut across here to anywhere?
mdp.39015063548831	Is there any doubt about their relationship?
mdp.39015063548831	Is there any reason why you do n't want the mur- derer handed over?
mdp.39015063548831	It was n't on his way home?
mdp.39015063548831	It'd be awful if"Supposing he gives me his word that?
mdp.39015063548831	It'll be muddy, wo n't it?
mdp.39015063548831	It's a dismal hole, is n't it?
mdp.39015063548831	It's a lot of ground for one man, is n't it?
mdp.39015063548831	It's been threatening ever since lunch,Ravenhill 70 Is Osyth Guilty?
mdp.39015063548831	It's damned mysterious, is n't it?
mdp.39015063548831	It's queer, is n't it? mdp.39015063548831 Joyce?"
mdp.39015063548831	Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	Just what do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	Let's go into the library, shall we?
mdp.39015063548831	Let's have a drink before we go up, shall we?
mdp.39015063548831	Look here,he said,"are you going to help me all you can?"
mdp.39015063548831	Lyall? mdp.39015063548831 May I see what you've written?"
mdp.39015063548831	May I suggest something, Major?
mdp.39015063548831	May we come in?
mdp.39015063548831	Meaning?
mdp.39015063548831	Most people who're on their legs all day and half the night like walking for pleasure, do n't they?
mdp.39015063548831	Mrs. Killick? mdp.39015063548831 Mrs. Mark Killick?"
mdp.39015063548831	My Godl What does it mean?
mdp.39015063548831	My dear chap, what can I tell you? mdp.39015063548831 Myrtle said that if we kept quiet about it we might discover who it was and""And has anything happened since?"
mdp.39015063548831	No, I'm not mad,he said;"but why can I see through all this and no one else?"
mdp.39015063548831	Not essentially, does it?
mdp.39015063548831	Not your father? mdp.39015063548831 Now listen, will you promise me that if anything happens you will tell me at once?"
mdp.39015063548831	Now then, Tewkesbury, or whatever your blasted The Meeting in the WoodLet him go, Hawkesbridge, do you hear?"
mdp.39015063548831	Now what's your news?
mdp.39015063548831	Now wo n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	Now you see the position,Ravenhill began,"and""You do n't believe that Miss Merrow is guilty, do you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Now, what's the trouble?
mdp.39015063548831	Now,he growled,"what the devil do you want?"
mdp.39015063548831	Oh, Daddy, what is it?
mdp.39015063548831	Oh, did he?
mdp.39015063548831	Oh, must I?
mdp.39015063548831	Oh, my dear, what is it?
mdp.39015063548831	Oh, why did you let him see father?
mdp.39015063548831	Oh? mdp.39015063548831 Osyth, you thought all along that you were the victim, did n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	Osyth,he said hoarsely,"what is Bentham to you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Osyth,said the soldier suddenly,"do you know of any Indians living about here?"
mdp.39015063548831	Perhaps I'll see you later in the evening?
mdp.39015063548831	Perhaps she missed it and went for a walk to fill in time?
mdp.39015063548831	Ravenhilllhe exclaimed; and in sudden alarm,"What's wrong?"
mdp.39015063548831	Really? mdp.39015063548831 See that bridge?"
mdp.39015063548831	Shall I go and let the slow torture continue, or shall I stay in the hope that if X tries to act again I may circumvent him and nab him? mdp.39015063548831 Shall I go on?
mdp.39015063548831	Shall I introduce you?
mdp.39015063548831	Shall I switch on the light?
mdp.39015063548831	Shall we ask him then?
mdp.39015063548831	Shall we walk somewhere?
mdp.39015063548831	She does n't think she's worse, does she?
mdp.39015063548831	She was a Catholic too?
mdp.39015063548831	She wrote to you, did n't she?
mdp.39015063548831	She's — she's come to,he heard her say,"and""Then what are you crying about, little goose?"
mdp.39015063548831	Since you and the police are investigating here,said Hawkesbridge,"I take it that she was travelling between here and Brighton when she was killed?"
mdp.39015063548831	Something has happened, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063548831	Something's happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Staying here?
mdp.39015063548831	Suppose we have a little exercise in sifting evi- dence?
mdp.39015063548831	Supposing he tells the police?
mdp.39015063548831	Surely"Whoever gave that scream? mdp.39015063548831 The Colonel'd scarcely want to tell me about that, would he?
mdp.39015063548831	The handkerchief, I suppose, was what was used to kill Miss Ferribee and Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	The next point is: How did Killick know that the meeting had been arranged? mdp.39015063548831 The point is do you really feel that Carlin is the man who's been running this vendetta against you all these years?"
mdp.39015063548831	The servants?
mdp.39015063548831	Then do n't you think it's an extraordinary coinci- dence that he should be employed by you as your but- ler?
mdp.39015063548831	Then she'd recognise him again if she saw him?
mdp.39015063548831	Then who's the man we've been after?
mdp.39015063548831	Then why has he gone away?
mdp.39015063548831	Then you do n't know what it was?
mdp.39015063548831	Then you think I need n't?
mdp.39015063548831	There was no motive behind it, I mean?
mdp.39015063548831	They've got the address, of course?
mdp.39015063548831	This wood is part of the Chillery estate, is n't it?
mdp.39015063548831	To whom could I report it?
mdp.39015063548831	Use? mdp.39015063548831 Want me to introduce you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Was Joyce killed in the wood?
mdp.39015063548831	Was n't the place locked up?
mdp.39015063548831	Was that easy too?
mdp.39015063548831	We'd better- Why could n't we see it from outside?
mdp.39015063548831	Well, I meant is n't he supposed to stay indoors?
mdp.39015063548831	Well, there's a vague connection between you and the murders, is n't there? mdp.39015063548831 Well, what about last night?"
mdp.39015063548831	Well, what are you going to do then?
mdp.39015063548831	Well, what was he doing alongside Colonel Mer- row's wood at ten- thirty?
mdp.39015063548831	Well, what's happened so far?
mdp.39015063548831	Well, who was it?
mdp.39015063548831	Well, whose were the other footprints?
mdp.39015063548831	Well?
mdp.39015063548831	Well?
mdp.39015063548831	Well?
mdp.39015063548831	What I said was — by the way, what was Killick doing in India? mdp.39015063548831 What about Carlin?
mdp.39015063548831	What about Raven- hill?
mdp.39015063548831	What about X?
mdp.39015063548831	What about him?
mdp.39015063548831	What about the blackmail business?
mdp.39015063548831	What about the man who followed Osyth, er Miss Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	What about this handkerchief?
mdp.39015063548831	What about you?
mdp.39015063548831	What about your mother?
mdp.39015063548831	What caused it?
mdp.39015063548831	What d'you make of this afternoon's business? mdp.39015063548831 What d'you mean?"
mdp.39015063548831	What did he say?
mdp.39015063548831	What did she die of?
mdp.39015063548831	What did you do with it afterwards?
mdp.39015063548831	What did you meet her for?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you advise us to do?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What does it all mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What does that mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What does that mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What does that mean?
mdp.39015063548831	What does the swine want?
mdp.39015063548831	What else can I do?
mdp.39015063548831	What have they to do with me?
mdp.39015063548831	What is it?
mdp.39015063548831	What is it?
mdp.39015063548831	What is it?
mdp.39015063548831	What is it?
mdp.39015063548831	What is it?
mdp.39015063548831	What made you say that?
mdp.39015063548831	What made you think he was Killick?
mdp.39015063548831	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063548831	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063548831	What now?
mdp.39015063548831	What shall I do?
mdp.39015063548831	What sort of fellow is the gardener?
mdp.39015063548831	What the blazes are you getting at?
mdp.39015063548831	What the devil does he want?
mdp.39015063548831	What then?
mdp.39015063548831	What time d'you expect him?
mdp.39015063548831	What time was that?
mdp.39015063548831	What time will you be finished?
mdp.39015063548831	What was that cause? mdp.39015063548831 What were you doing here then?"
mdp.39015063548831	What's a police doctor?
mdp.39015063548831	What's going to happen now?
mdp.39015063548831	What's happened?

mdp.39015063548831	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063548831	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063548831	What, our wood?
mdp.39015063548831	When did he last'phone the bureau?
mdp.39015063548831	When did the letter arrive?
mdp.39015063548831	Where are the others? mdp.39015063548831 Where did Tewkesbury get this?"

mdp.39015063548831	Why did X kill Miss Ferribee?
mdp.39015063548831	Why did n't I think ot that?
mdp.39015063548831	Why did n't he get Bentham to come here?
mdp.39015063548831	Why did n't the police think it queer?
mdp.39015063548831	Why did you ask me down here?
mdp.39015063548831	Why did you hide?
mdp.39015063548831	Why do you say'supposed'?
mdp.39015063548831	Why does n't he pass on his information to the police?
mdp.39015063548831	Why from the house?
mdp.39015063548831	Why have you come back?
mdp.39015063548831	Why not come and stay here? mdp.39015063548831 Why should I?
mdp.39015063548831	Why should Joyce have sent for Mrs. Merrow to visit him at his cottage? mdp.39015063548831 Why should Mrs. Merrow ask for a priest if she's no worse?"
mdp.39015063548831	Why should he?
mdp.39015063548831	Why should she choose the hut in the wood when she might easily have come to the house?
mdp.39015063548831	Why should you disbelieve me?
mdp.39015063548831	Why should you doubt me?
mdp.39015063548831	Why what?
mdp.39015063548831	Why wo n't you be open? mdp.39015063548831 Why wo n't you say who it is?"
mdp.39015063548831	Why, what on earth do you mean?
mdp.39015063548831	Why, what's the matter, Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	Why? mdp.39015063548831 Why?"
mdp.39015063548831	Why?
mdp.39015063548831	Will you come too?
mdp.39015063548831	Will you have a drink with me?
mdp.39015063548831	Will you help me lock up?
mdp.39015063548831	Will you present me as a friend? mdp.39015063548831 Will you ring the bell?"
mdp.39015063548831	Will you take Inspector Miller into the library, Ravenhill?
mdp.39015063548831	Will you tell Ravenhill too?
mdp.39015063548831	Wo n't you tell me about last night?
mdp.39015063548831	Wonder where he's gone?
mdp.39015063548831	Would you mind explaining?
mdp.39015063548831	Writing what?
mdp.39015063548831	Yes,she said;"the nurse""What did the nurse say?"
mdp.39015063548831	Yes; but what of Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	Yes; but who the devil is he?
mdp.39015063548831	Yes?
mdp.39015063548831	Yes?
mdp.39015063548831	Yes?
mdp.39015063548831	You do n't believe he found it by Bentham, do you?
mdp.39015063548831	You do n't suppose I'd let you down, do you?
mdp.39015063548831	You had to keep to the path because of the game, I suppose?
mdp.39015063548831	You mean Chillery Village? mdp.39015063548831 You mean he knew who Miss Ferribee's murderer is?"
mdp.39015063548831	You mean he's the murderer of Miss Ferribee and Joyce?
mdp.39015063548831	You mean the police have?
mdp.39015063548831	You mean you knew that the two girls did not meet last night?
mdp.39015063548831	You mean?
mdp.39015063548831	You mean?
mdp.39015063548831	You remember I thought I heard someone when we were talking about Joyce last evening?
mdp.39015063548831	You remember I told you I thought he was going to make a confidant of me the night I arrived?
mdp.39015063548831	You remember how keen he was to get me to help him with his free- lance journalism? mdp.39015063548831 You saw him last night?"
mdp.39015063548831	You saw him?
mdp.39015063548831	You see how dangerous it is? mdp.39015063548831 You see"But what could he say?
mdp.39015063548831	You see?
mdp.39015063548831	You seemed to think I"What did she say?
mdp.39015063548831	You think that Joyce saw him?
mdp.39015063548831	You told your people, I suppose?
mdp.39015063548831	You were going to the hut, were n't you? mdp.39015063548831 You will be careful, wo n't you, Captain — won't you, Trevor?"
mdp.39015063548831	You'd be surprised if I said we'd come over to- day to identify him, would n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	You'll look after him, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	You're The Planet man, are n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	You're an adept at keeping things to yourself, are n't you, Ravenhill? mdp.39015063548831 You're going, I suppose?
mdp.39015063548831	You're putting up at the inn, are n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	You're staying at the inn, 94 The Mystery at Chillery are n't you? mdp.39015063548831 You've been paying him blackmail?"
mdp.39015063548831	You've certainly developed rather rapidly these last few days, have n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	You've detained him? mdp.39015063548831 You've dis- covered something?"
mdp.39015063548831	You've no idea who he was?
mdp.39015063548831	You've proved that?
mdp.39015063548831	Your mother knew him by sight, I suppose?
mdp.39015063548831	— a blind?
mdp.39015063548831	134 The Mystery at Chillery"How much of this have you told the police?"
mdp.39015063548831	136 The Mystery at Chillery"But what difference does it make?
mdp.39015063548831	138 The Mystery at Chiller y"There was no other reason?
mdp.39015063548831	224 The Mystery at Chillery"What about motive?"
mdp.39015063548831	56 The Mystery at Chillery"Well, you met her, did n't you?
mdp.39015063548831	70 VIII Or Mrs. Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	80 IX Who Killed the Poacher?

mdp.39015063548831	93"Where are the others?"
mdp.39015063548831	A feeling of exultation filled him as he thought of Is Osyth Guilty?
mdp.39015063548831	A soldier?"
mdp.39015063548831	Am I being reasonable?"
mdp.39015063548831	Am I right in saying that the man concerned was Killick?
mdp.39015063548831	Am I right in supposing that she did not recognise you then, Colonel?"
mdp.39015063548831	Am I right, Colonel?"
mdp.39015063548831	And Osyth?
mdp.39015063548831	And by the way, why do you say'they'?
mdp.39015063548831	And had he taken fright and bolted?
mdp.39015063548831	And had he, when he found that the assignation was with a woman, returned to the house?
mdp.39015063548831	And how did he know she was going to tell you?
mdp.39015063548831	And if he's a private detective, who could have employed him?
mdp.39015063548831	And if she knew of both was she aware that they were linked?
mdp.39015063548831	And that's all?"
mdp.39015063548831	And was the blackmailer also the murderer?
mdp.39015063548831	And whose was it, Osyth's or that of the person who had followed her?
mdp.39015063548831	And why did he not say so directly?
mdp.39015063548831	And why should he be so apprehensive about her?
mdp.39015063548831	And why should he kill her at all?
mdp.39015063548831	Answer me; is there any connection between what I've said and the pistol?"
mdp.39015063548831	Anything else I can do before I kiss you good- night?"
mdp.39015063548831	Are you ready now?"
mdp.39015063548831	Are you sure you ought to be up?"
mdp.39015063548831	As he undressed he told himself that the family was divided by two troubles, 80 Or Mrs. Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	Besides, what was the use of telling her?"
mdp.39015063548831	Besides, where was the motive unless the Colonel were X himself?
mdp.39015063548831	But X""X?"
mdp.39015063548831	But did they know the Colonel's secret?
mdp.39015063548831	But do n't you see that in a limited way Miller is right?
mdp.39015063548831	But first, can you describe Carlin in a few words?"
mdp.39015063548831	But had it"worked"?
mdp.39015063548831	But how did it fit in?
mdp.39015063548831	But how had he got hold of Mrs. Killick's name?
mdp.39015063548831	But how is that incident connected with?"
mdp.39015063548831	But is n't he supposed to be ill?"
mdp.39015063548831	But she was not in- Who Killed the Poacher?
mdp.39015063548831	But suppose, Hawkesbridge, that you disturb the cat at its pleasure: what happens?
mdp.39015063548831	But surely — why had he shown such dis- quiet when Inspector Miller had come to Chillery?
mdp.39015063548831	But tell me this: Did you ever contemplate telling him?"
mdp.39015063548831	But was it safe to pass his information over in that way?
mdp.39015063548831	But what are you getting at?"
mdp.39015063548831	But what are you worrying about?
mdp.39015063548831	But what could Ravenhill do?
mdp.39015063548831	But what could he do?
mdp.39015063548831	But what did the words mean?
mdp.39015063548831	But what of the man?
mdp.39015063548831	But what was the information that Miss Ferribee was prevented from giving to Miss Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	But what?"
mdp.39015063548831	But where are the others?"
mdp.39015063548831	But where the devil was he?
mdp.39015063548831	But why did n't he kill her here?
mdp.39015063548831	But why there?"
mdp.39015063548831	By the way, did you see Miller again?"
mdp.39015063548831	By the way, how's the tummy?"
mdp.39015063548831	Ca n't you see that you're a reporter and the — and I do n't want to be dragged into the limelight?"
mdp.39015063548831	Can you carry it further?"
mdp.39015063548831	Can you manage it?"

mdp.39015063548831	Church?
mdp.39015063548831	Could Joyce be the man who had followed Osyth?
mdp.39015063548831	Could he enter without per- mission?
mdp.39015063548831	Could she bear what he was going to say?
mdp.39015063548831	D'you mind if I hop off?"
mdp.39015063548831	D'you notice he'd been drinking?"
mdp.39015063548831	Damn the malaria that had laid him out at such a crucial timel What had happened while he slept?
mdp.39015063548831	Did Osyth know of it?
mdp.39015063548831	Did he know that Osyth was outside?
mdp.39015063548831	Did he mean that he was to wear a dinner jacket to- night?
mdp.39015063548831	Did he suspect all along that Carlin was not the murderer of Miss Ferribee and Joyce?"
mdp.39015063548831	Did she know of either or both?
mdp.39015063548831	Did she share the reporter's suspicions?
mdp.39015063548831	Did that suggest anything?
mdp.39015063548831	Did the words mean that he should wear a dinner jacket nevertheless?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you ever see""Who is he?"
mdp.39015063548831	Did you find the doctor?"
mdp.39015063548831	Did you notice the Colonel?
mdp.39015063548831	Did you?
mdp.39015063548831	Do n't you know how to handle it?
mdp.39015063548831	Do you doubt that it's a vendetta?"
mdp.39015063548831	Do you think I have n't seen that there's something wrong at Chillery?
mdp.39015063548831	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015063548831	Does Osyth know about the bag?"
mdp.39015063548831	Does it alter the situation, do you think?"
mdp.39015063548831	Does n't that suggest something important?"
mdp.39015063548831	Does your father know?"
mdp.39015063548831	Even if you'd de- 242 The Mystery at Chillery luded the police, would n't you clear out afterwards and make absolutely sure of safety?"
mdp.39015063548831	Fancy arranging the meeting on the'phonel I wonder what the secret is?"
mdp.39015063548831	Feel better?"
mdp.39015063548831	Go out into the garden, will you?"
mdp.39015063548831	HOW to find the butler's room?
mdp.39015063548831	Had Joyce seen both her and Carlin last night, or had his enquiry for Osyth been but a"blind"?
mdp.39015063548831	Had Mrs. Merrow gone with him?
mdp.39015063548831	Had Mrs. Merrow got something on her conscience which she wanted to confess?
mdp.39015063548831	Had he been compelled to reveal it to Inspector Miller when the policeman had interviewed him?
mdp.39015063548831	Had he hidden in the wood watching?
mdp.39015063548831	Had n't he felt it himself?
mdp.39015063548831	Had something else happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Had something new happened?
mdp.39015063548831	Had the Colonel said something to put her mind at rest?
mdp.39015063548831	Has die situation changed?"
mdp.39015063548831	Have I seen this man?"
mdp.39015063548831	Have you ever watched a cat play with a mouse, Hawkesbridge?"
mdp.39015063548831	Have you thought of that, Ravenhill?"
mdp.39015063548831	He was here though, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063548831	He was n't very well up in legal matters, but"Trevor,"Osyth broke in on his thoughts,"do you think that I ought to speak?"
mdp.39015063548831	He""What about that letter?"
mdp.39015063548831	He'd been a butler before, had n't he?"
mdp.39015063548831	He?"
mdp.39015063548831	How am I to explain matters?
mdp.39015063548831	How could he, in the circumstances, ignore the dan- ger signals that were flying now?
mdp.39015063548831	How d'you know he's a detective, anyhow?"
mdp.39015063548831	How did he get it without your seeing him?"
mdp.39015063548831	How did he know he had been discovered?
mdp.39015063548831	How did he know that you were going to meet Miss Ferribee?"
mdp.39015063548831	How do you account for that?"
mdp.39015063548831	How do you explain the footprints to the main road?"
mdp.39015063548831	How do you know that I?"
mdp.39015063548831	How long ago was that?"
mdp.39015063548831	How much does Mrs. Merrow know of this?"
mdp.39015063548831	How often did that happen?"
mdp.39015063548831	How old was Bentham?
mdp.39015063548831	How should he tackle the man?
mdp.39015063548831	How?
mdp.39015063548831	I mean, in view of what's happened ought n't I to""D'you want to clear out?"
mdp.39015063548831	I tell you I do n't know who Killick is and""But you know his wife?"
mdp.39015063548831	I think X forced him to write it""But why?"
mdp.39015063548831	I was on my feet by the time she came back and""Was that the first time you met her?"
mdp.39015063548831	I was rather frightened and""Did you say anything?"
mdp.39015063548831	I wonder why she chose the hut as a rendezvous, though?"
mdp.39015063548831	I wonder — perhaps you could give me a hint or two?"
mdp.39015063548831	If Joyce had been killed at seven- thirty, how was it that Ravenhill did not find the body on the occasion of his first visit to the cottage?
mdp.39015063548831	If he was not Killick himself, and he soon demonstrated that he was not, how did he come into the case?
mdp.39015063548831	Instead:"Osyth,"he demanded,"why are you so afraid of the Inspector?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is Osyth Guilty?
mdp.39015063548831	Is Osyth Guilty?
mdp.39015063548831	Is he all right?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is it because,"she lowered her voice to a whisper,"he does n't believe that Carlin is the murderer?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't it logical?
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't it reasonable to suppose that the event that causes all this took place there?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't that every soldier's and sailor's ambition?
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't that so?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't that so?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is n't the evidence plain enough?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is that it?"
mdp.39015063548831	Is that the Colonel?"
mdp.39015063548831	It's new, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063548831	Joyce said he saw her alongside the wood which you spoke of, which is rather peculiar, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063548831	Kil- lick'?"
mdp.39015063548831	Killick?"
mdp.39015063548831	Killick?"
mdp.39015063548831	Killick?"
mdp.39015063548831	Killick?"
mdp.39015063548831	Killick?"
mdp.39015063548831	Look here, Osythl Ca n't you make a clean breast of it all?
mdp.39015063548831	Look here, old girl; what are you getting at?"
mdp.39015063548831	Look here, shall we see what he's up to?
mdp.39015063548831	Look here, we'd better investigate, had n't we?
mdp.39015063548831	Lyall?
mdp.39015063548831	Lyall?
mdp.39015063548831	May I now?
mdp.39015063548831	Merrow?"
mdp.39015063548831	Merrow?"
mdp.39015063548831	Merrow?"
mdp.39015063548831	No sense in us both""Something's going to happen then?"
mdp.39015063548831	Not another murder?"
mdp.39015063548831	Now what are we going to do?
mdp.39015063548831	Now what the devil does he want?
mdp.39015063548831	Now, Joyce was a big man, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063548831	Oh, do you think he'll tell?
mdp.39015063548831	Only a quarter past twelve?
mdp.39015063548831	Or Mrs. Merrow?
mdp.39015063548831	Or Mrs. Merrow?

mdp.39015063548831	Ravenhill and I""Does he know?"
mdp.39015063548831	Ravenhill?"
mdp.39015063548831	Shall I?"
mdp.39015063548831	She's sane enough, only""Why does n't she recognize me then?"
mdp.39015063548831	Should he tell her also about her mother?
mdp.39015063548831	Should he wait 14 The Mystery at Chillery longer?
mdp.39015063548831	Should he warn Carlin that the girl was out?
mdp.39015063548831	So Bentham was a dear, was he?
mdp.39015063548831	So far as he could see the man had not gone to the hut, why then had he followed Osyth so far and stayed here some hours afterwards?
mdp.39015063548831	Somehow the butler and that letter are connected, are n't they?
mdp.39015063548831	Suppose I fail?"
mdp.39015063548831	Suppose we ask Ravenhill's advice?"
mdp.39015063548831	Suppose you tell me all about it?"
mdp.39015063548831	Surely she had not been merely flirt- ing?
mdp.39015063548831	That do?"
mdp.39015063548831	That's just about where Bentham lives, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063548831	That's what you want, is n't it?"

mdp.39015063548831	The heirs, some of whom were more favorably remembered?
mdp.39015063548831	The nurse, who reported the death as from natural causes and left suddenly?
mdp.39015063548831	The policeman did n't say where he was, did he?"
mdp.39015063548831	The trouble is, is he telling the whole truth?"
mdp.39015063548831	Then, see- ing that she had made a slip, she hastened to add,"What I mean is, what should he want to tell you about?"
mdp.39015063548831	Then,"Very well — but you wo n't mind if I do, will you?"
mdp.39015063548831	Then:"Does the Colonel know?"
mdp.39015063548831	Then:"Have you reported it?"
mdp.39015063548831	Then:"Look here, Sir,"he said awkwardly,"would you rather that I cleared out?

mdp.39015063548831	To tell her he had not told all the truth?

mdp.39015063548831	Was Carlin X?
mdp.39015063548831	Was he of the domestic servant class?"
mdp.39015063548831	Was he still in the house?
mdp.39015063548831	Was he then just a Paul Pry who had followed Osyth think- ing that she was going to meet a man?
mdp.39015063548831	Was he to betray them?
mdp.39015063548831	Was n't his intent not only to remove a danger to himself, but to make the dead man appear to be the murderer?
mdp.39015063548831	Was she going to tell Wyman everything?
mdp.39015063548831	Was that logical?
mdp.39015063548831	Was that, too, connected with the case?
mdp.39015063548831	Was the Colonel with Osyth in her room?
mdp.39015063548831	Was the blackmailer an Indian?
mdp.39015063548831	Was the mystery solved already?
mdp.39015063548831	Was this the killer?

mdp.39015063548831	You do n't believe that it was I who attacked Tom Bentham, do you?"
mdp.39015063548831	You do n't object to that, do you?"
mdp.39015063548831	You do n't suppose I neglected such an obvious precaution as to measure shoes and notice their peculiarities, do you?
mdp.39015063548831	You do n't suspect him, do you?"
mdp.39015063548831	You know where the path goes to that he was found on?"
mdp.39015063548831	You'll come in too, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063548831	he exclaimed, pointing,"did you see that owl?
mdp.39015063927126	Are we going to sit here all night? ” It was a weak conclusion, but to suggest an attack was sheer madness under the conditions. mdp.39015063927126 Have you any other specimens of her writing?
mdp.39015063927126	In the first place, ” said Bruce, “ let me ask you whether or not you have seen Jane Harding, the missing maid? ” “ Yes. mdp.39015063927126 Is it not true that you suspect me of murdering Lady Dyke?"
mdp.39015063927126	It threatens to remain a mystery, does it not? ” he mur- mured. mdp.39015063927126 Surely, you feel ill?
mdp.39015063927126	Then what price that[ 133] A Mysterious Disappearance lydy who called for'i m in a keb afore'e went away? mdp.39015063927126 'E must ’ ave bin paralytic. ” “ So he was locked up?
mdp.39015063927126	'What has that got to do with locked up?
mdp.39015063927126	( 186) Mr. Sydney H. Corbett The New York police cabled me that you arrived in Liver- pool yesterday. ” “ Did they now?
mdp.39015063927126	12, his name is Sydney H. Corbett, and he left his residence for the Riviera two days after your wife was lost. ” “ Now, who on earth can he be?
mdp.39015063927126	7 Paper Buildings, and my private residence is given there. ” “ And why are you interested in Mr. Sydney Corbett? ”[ 36] No.
mdp.39015063927126	? ” “ That concerns me only. ” Mrs. Hillmer was SO emphatic that Bruce dropped the subject.
mdp.39015063927126	A mere hazard. ” “ Was it because you saw me drive up in a carriage? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015063927126	About how long is it since the last letter came for him? ” “ But certainly.
mdp.39015063927126	Advancing, with a bow and that fascinating smile of his, he said, pulling forward a chair: “ Wo n't you be seated? ” The lady looked at him.
mdp.39015063927126	Amidst the buzz of comment which arose, Bruce said to his companion: “ What's going on? ” “ This is the final tie in the International.
mdp.39015063927126	An'where d'ye think ’ e was? ” “ I can not tell. ” “ In quod. ” “ In jail.
mdp.39015063927126	An'who's'e gone to Monte Carlo with?'
mdp.39015063927126	And here I am. ” “ Having accomplished the whole thing satisfactorily. ” “ As how?
mdp.39015063927126	And how can he support a wife?
mdp.39015063927126	And now, can I request a favor in return? ” “ Certainly."
mdp.39015063927126	And now, how do we stand? ” “ Kindly explain. ” “ How much'com'do you want? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	And now, how do we stand? ” “ Kindly explain. ” “ How much'com'do you want? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	And what of the real Corbett?
mdp.39015063927126	And who the dickens is Mr. Sydney H. Corbett?
mdp.39015063927126	And you? ” “ Oh, I shall be home much sooner.
mdp.39015063927126	And, then, what possible reason could Lady Dyke have in visiting him voluntarily and secretly at his chambers in Raleigh Mansions?
mdp.39015063927126	Anything else you would like to know? ” “ Yes, I'm stuck on her!
mdp.39015063927126	Anything else? ” “ Well, sir, that rather flung me out of my stride, as the sayin'is, as I'ad seen the lydy in question.
mdp.39015063927126	Are you a policeman?"
mdp.39015063927126	Are you coming in? ” “ That was my intention. ” “ Come along then.
mdp.39015063927126	Are you going to hinder me or help me?
mdp.39015063927126	Are you ill?
mdp.39015063927126	Are you in- terested in the case?
mdp.39015063927126	Are you sent by my friend to kinder cheer me up?
mdp.39015063927126	Are your servants to be trusted?"
mdp.39015063927126	Assuming that her ladyship is really alive, why did she leave you? ” “ How can I tell?
mdp.39015063927126	Assuming that her ladyship is really alive, why did she leave you? ” “ How can I tell?
mdp.39015063927126	At last he said with a smile: “ Say, what are you after, Mr. White of Scotland Yard?
mdp.39015063927126	At last she managed to ejaculate:"I- I — why do you ask me that question? ”[ 230] A Mysterious Disappearance fingers to emphasize the words.
mdp.39015063927126	At once his agitation became so marked that Bruce cried: “ Good heavens, Dyke, what is it?
mdp.39015063927126	At that critical moment my servant announced your arrival. ” “ But what can Mrs. Hillmer have to conceal?
mdp.39015063927126	Beastly trying weather, is n't it?
mdp.39015063927126	Been seedy? ” “ Good gracious, Dyke!
mdp.39015063927126	Besides, it is I who have come to talk this time. ” “ About Springboks? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063927126	Besides, this morning- queer you should call immediately afterwards- I have had some wholly unexpected news. ”"Indeed? ” Mr.
mdp.39015063927126	Besides, why should he necessarily be innocent?
mdp.39015063927126	But am I to report to the Commissioner that Lady Dyke has been found, or has, at any rate, explained that she is not dead?"
mdp.39015063927126	But are you sure his wife is dead? ” “ My authority is an announcement in the Times to hand by to- day's post.
mdp.39015063927126	But he smiled, and answered: “ Do you mean by the look of'em, sir?"
mdp.39015063927126	But how to discover it?
mdp.39015063927126	But how, without forewarning Mensmore himself?
mdp.39015063927126	But is it not better to obey her wishes?
mdp.39015063927126	But may I see Mrs. Hillmer again?
mdp.39015063927126	But suppose I get an offer from some other quarter in the meantime?
mdp.39015063927126	But what does it matter now?"
mdp.39015063927126	But what has all this got to do with detectives, and recent inquiries, and that sort of thing? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	But what is a policeman to do in such cases?
mdp.39015063927126	But what is the usual course for a servant to pursue in such cases?
mdp.39015063927126	But what is this about the South of France?
mdp.39015063927126	But why seize this clumsy device when it actually supported a heavy brass poker?
mdp.39015063927126	But why should Sir Charles Dyke, or you, or any other gentleman, want to destroy a poor girl's prospects in that fashion?"
mdp.39015063927126	But you can not say that Lady Dyke may not have met him previously?"
mdp.39015063927126	But you must once and for all abandon this notion of suicide. ” “ What about my debts? ” “ Confound your debts.
mdp.39015063927126	By the way, do you now see any reason why Jane Harding should have tried to de- ceive you in such a manner? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	By the way, what of Raleigh Mansions? ” The baronet obviously nerved himself to ask the ques- tion.
mdp.39015063927126	By the way, where did Mensmore live? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	By the way; do you smoke? ” Bruce did smoke; and Mr.
mdp.39015063927126	Can I be of any service? ” She bit her lip, not unobserved, but the law of Society forced her features into a bright smile.
mdp.39015063927126	Can people writ him in the South of France?
mdp.39015063927126	Can they ask me to pay his debts?"
mdp.39015063927126	Can you give me details? ” “ By all means.
mdp.39015063927126	Corbett left New York in White Star steamer due Liver- pool, February 4. ” “ February 4?
mdp.39015063927126	Did she ever turn up?"
mdp.39015063927126	Did the man who killed Lady Dyke reck of these things?
mdp.39015063927126	Did you ever know a Colonel Montgomery, or was your wife acquainted with any one of that name to your knowledge? ” “ I do not think she was.
mdp.39015063927126	Did you know of Lady Dyke's death before to- day? ” She came to him and looked him straight in the face, and said: “ I did not.
mdp.39015063927126	Did you quarrel? ” “ N- no, but we just did not happen to meet.
mdp.39015063927126	Did you see her? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015063927126	Do n't you represent those people on Leadenhall Street, then?"
mdp.39015063927126	Do n't you think I had better wire?
mdp.39015063927126	Do you doubt me? ” The guard hesitated.
mdp.39015063927126	Do you drink whisky and soda?
mdp.39015063927126	Do you for a moment believe the monstrous insinuation?"
mdp.39015063927126	Do you know me, sir?"
mdp.39015063927126	Do you think Poe would have gone questioning bar- tenders or inquiring into abortive love affairs?
mdp.39015063927126	Do you think Sir Charles is in bed? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Do you think she has gone to America? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Do you want the whole neighborhood to know of it?
mdp.39015063927126	Dodge& Co. that induced him to masquerade temporarily under an assumed name. ” “ Then what is his real name? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Dodge& Co. ” “ No; why do you ask? ” “ Because my brother entered into what he called a'deal'with them.
mdp.39015063927126	Dodge, how is the junior partner? ” Dodge stopped, focussed Bruce with his sharp eyes, and smiled: “ Oh, it is you, is it?
mdp.39015063927126	Dodge, how is the junior partner? ” Dodge stopped, focussed Bruce with his sharp eyes, and smiled: “ Oh, it is you, is it?
mdp.39015063927126	D’ye follow me? ” “ Every word. ”"An'you see now'ow it is I can fix the d'y? ” “ Perfectly. ”"Well, I sees no more of Foxey.
mdp.39015063927126	D’ye follow me? ” “ Every word. ”"An'you see now'ow it is I can fix the d'y? ” “ Perfectly. ”"Well, I sees no more of Foxey.
mdp.39015063927126	Eh, Mr. Bruce? ” “ Yes, ” said the barrister, turning to poke the fire.
mdp.39015063927126	Fat, do you mean? ”[ 183] Mr. Sydney H. Corbett “ Mrs.
mdp.39015063927126	Find the motive and we find the murderer, if Lady Dyke was wilfully put to death. ” “ If she was, Mr. Bruce?
mdp.39015063927126	First, tell me why you adopted the name of Corbett? ” “ Simply enough, though stupid, I now admit.
mdp.39015063927126	For instance, there would be no use in smoking a man with black eyes and irregular features. ” “ Smoking'him? ”[ 114].
mdp.39015063927126	Four days ago, eh? ” “ That is the time.
mdp.39015063927126	From arrest by the police, of course. ” “ But why take this precipitate action?
mdp.39015063927126	Has my friend Mensmore been getting himself into trouble? ” “ Not so much as it looks.
mdp.39015063927126	Have you any doubt about it? ” “ There can not be certainty when we are groping in the dark.
mdp.39015063927126	Have you any good things in hand at this moment? ” “ Some of the best.
mdp.39015063927126	Have you ever read any of the works of Edgar Allan Poe?"
mdp.39015063927126	Have you not heard from her?"
mdp.39015063927126	Have you seen Miss Browne since?"
mdp.39015063927126	He and I were at school to- gether at Brighton, at Childe's place. ” “ At Brighton? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063927126	He means you no harm ’ “ Honor bright?
mdp.39015063927126	He said casually: “ I mean where was the school situated? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	He wants to know definitely when that time comes. ” “ Why? ” The detective did not reply for a moment.
mdp.39015063927126	He was in London at the time, that is quite certain. ” “ Do the police know all this? ” “ No. ” “ I am glad of it.
mdp.39015063927126	How can I hope to fathom your real intent?
mdp.39015063927126	How can I raise the wind for my little lot?"
mdp.39015063927126	How can you connect him with my wife's death? ” “ At this moment I am unable to say.
mdp.39015063927126	How could you so meanly induce my confidence at our first meeting?
mdp.39015063927126	How do you fill up that gap, Mr. White? ” “ Simply enough.
mdp.39015063927126	How do you manage always to get ahead of us? ” Mr. White was enthusiastic in his admiring divination.
mdp.39015063927126	How do your wife's people bear the continued mystery of her disap- pearance? ” “ At first they were awfully cut up.
mdp.39015063927126	How have you blundered upon that solu- tion? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015063927126	How is she? ” In the multitude of questions there was safety.
mdp.39015063927126	How would it result?
mdp.39015063927126	How? ” Mrs. Hillmer hesitated.
mdp.39015063927126	I am a rare ’ and at langwidge, but I could n't manage that. ” “ Why? ” “ Because that night, sir, I were as full as a tick when I started.
mdp.39015063927126	I am interested in fifty thousand shares, you know. ” “ Then you require some £ 7,500?."
mdp.39015063927126	I am not, nor ever have been, a financial go- between. ” “ Did n't you come to see me about the deal in the first instance?"
mdp.39015063927126	I am seldom mistaken. ” “ But why did n't you call out just now when you came ini? ” “ I had n't a chance.
mdp.39015063927126	I confess I am unable to form a logical con- clusion tonight. ” “ Why not abandon the whole muddle to time?
mdp.39015063927126	I could have no secrets from her. ” “ Did you inflict all this wretched story on a woman you loved and hoped to marry? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	I hope my mates did not treat you too badly? ” “ What? ” cried the one who had not yet spoken.
mdp.39015063927126	I hope my mates did not treat you too badly? ” “ What? ” cried the one who had not yet spoken.
mdp.39015063927126	I may bring May I v Was it a hint?
mdp.39015063927126	I missed'i m about the Square, so one d'y I axes at the rank, – Where's Foxey?'
mdp.39015063927126	I remember its contents sufficiently, but you will let me see it again if necessary? ” “ With pleasure, sir.
mdp.39015063927126	I was hoping I would see you one of these days. ” “ Has business improved recently? ” inquired Bruce, as they entered the inner office.
mdp.39015063927126	I was only expressing an opinion. ” “ I thought, perhaps, sir, you was thinkin'of Mr. White. ” “ What of him?"
mdp.39015063927126	I wish I did. ” “ An'’ ave you been on the'unt ever since, guv'nor?"
mdp.39015063927126	I wonder if he did dine at Hampstead on the evening of the murder, as he said at the inquest?
mdp.39015063927126	I worked so hard that I fell ill, and then — then I got married. ”"Do you go out much to theatres, nowadays? ” “ Very little.
mdp.39015063927126	I'm tired. ” “ Your name is Sydney H. Corbett? ” said the detective severely, though he took a chair.
mdp.39015063927126	If he did, what would result?
mdp.39015063927126	If not, why did he bolt to France two days after the crime?
mdp.39015063927126	If she refused what could be her motive?
mdp.39015063927126	If so, who on earth was Corbett, and why had Mensmore taken his name, if that was the solution of the tangle?
mdp.39015063927126	If so, why?
mdp.39015063927126	If the man did not desire his whereabouts to be known, why did he leave his address at the post- office?
mdp.39015063927126	In any case, why did she conceal the real nature of her earnings?
mdp.39015063927126	Is her husband alive? ” “ I can hardly tell you.
mdp.39015063927126	Is n't the weather horrid?
mdp.39015063927126	Is not that his right name? ” “ I have reason to believe it is not."
mdp.39015063927126	Is she in England or abroad? ” Mensmore had been expecting this question.
mdp.39015063927126	Is she really worth a lot of'oof? ” “ I should imagine not, ” laughed Bruce; and Mr. Rosenheim joined another group.
mdp.39015063927126	Is that you, Mr. Mensmore?
mdp.39015063927126	Is there anything else in which I may be of service? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063927126	It did deceive me. ” “ Then why are you so surprised at the suggestion that the lady should attempt to cross the Atlantic?"
mdp.39015063927126	It might ha'been yerself for all I could tell. ” “ Do you think it was I? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	It's a pity. ” “ Why?"
mdp.39015063927126	Let this unfortunate fellow, Mensmore, suffer no one knows what consequences from the events of today?
mdp.39015063927126	Let us both go off somewhere. ” “ What, and leave Mrs. Hillmer to die of sheer pain of mind?
mdp.39015063927126	Mashes. ” “ Smith, have you been drinking? ” “ Me, sir? ” “ Well, explain yourself.
mdp.39015063927126	Mashes. ” “ Smith, have you been drinking? ” “ Me, sir? ” “ Well, explain yourself.
mdp.39015063927126	May I ask what luck you have had, sir? ” “ In what respect?"
mdp.39015063927126	May I ask what luck you have had, sir? ” “ In what respect?"
mdp.39015063927126	May I ask you to let me know the result? ” “ With pleasure, sir.
mdp.39015063927126	May I explain( 135) A Mysterious Disappearance that which is to you incomprehensible at this moment?
mdp.39015063927126	May I light a cigar? ” “ With pleasure.
mdp.39015063927126	No bad news, I hope? ” The other, by a strong effort, regained his self- control.
mdp.39015063927126	No man born could swear that this was not Lady Dyke's production. ” “ Well, what are we to do? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	No more than twenty- eight, I can swear Do you know him?"
mdp.39015063927126	Now, what on earth is the upshot of this business to be?
mdp.39015063927126	Now, why was that?
mdp.39015063927126	Of what matter to him was the suffering of a sister or sweetheart?
mdp.39015063927126	Others appear to have in-[ 205] A Wilful Murder “ And what is that? ” “ What about Mrs. Hillmer?
mdp.39015063927126	Others appear to have in-[ 205] A Wilful Murder “ And what is that? ” “ What about Mrs. Hillmer?
mdp.39015063927126	Perhaps got a chill, eh?
mdp.39015063927126	Perhaps she did go there? ” “ But these houses, Raleigh Mansions.
mdp.39015063927126	Quite swell, eh?
mdp.39015063927126	See?"
mdp.39015063927126	Shall I pay her another visit and surprise her?
mdp.39015063927126	Shall I tell him? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Shall we endeavor to trace her? ” “ Oh, bother, ” he growled.
mdp.39015063927126	She had copied it for three years. ” “ All this must have astonished you considerably?"
mdp.39015063927126	She passed straight out into the square, and from that point we lost sight of her. ” “ You do, Mr. White? ” said Bruce.
mdp.39015063927126	She was not disinclined for a conversation with this good- looking gentleman, so she smiled archly, as she said: “ Did n't you know, sir?
mdp.39015063927126	She's a good girl, is my daughter. ”"Miss Harding is doing well on the stage, then?".
mdp.39015063927126	Shielded us from what?
mdp.39015063927126	Sir Charles Dyke is guilty enough. ” “ And what do you want me to do? ” “ To help me to adopt the proper course.
mdp.39015063927126	Strange, is it not?
mdp.39015063927126	Suppose they ask about your wife? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Tell people to wait until you are able to pay them. ” “ And — and the girl? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	That is the explanation, By the way, what has happened to Corbett? ” “ He is all right.
mdp.39015063927126	The Dykes are friends of yours? ” “ No, no, not in that sense.
mdp.39015063927126	The barrister tried to cheer him by a little bit of raillery: “ I hope you have not succeeded too well? ” he laughed.
mdp.39015063927126	The latter opened it and read: “ What is the matter?
mdp.39015063927126	The latter, halting for a moment at the door, said quietly, “ Is your name Corbett? ” “ No, it ai n't, any more than yours is Black.
mdp.39015063927126	The mania of an hysterical woman! ” “ Possibly! ” “ Why'possibly'?
mdp.39015063927126	The rest is easy. ” “ Has she been with you long?"
mdp.39015063927126	The rest was a mere matter of steady inquiry. ” “ Then you are the man whom the police are now searching for?"
mdp.39015063927126	The tall standard bearer or the little girl who pirouettes so gracefully? ” “ Neither, I assure you.
mdp.39015063927126	The utter absence of motive is the most puzzling element of the whole situation. ” “ Whom can my wife have known at Raleigh Mansions?
mdp.39015063927126	Then I ask you straight out if you do n't agree with me? ” “ I do not. ” This declaration astounded the barrister himself.
mdp.39015063927126	Then I wants to know a bit. ” “ Yes; but this carrying of a lady out of a house in such fashion — did not this strike you as strange? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Then he has taken them! ” “ Yes, ” cried Bruce; “ but surely you know something about him? ” “ Nothing.
mdp.39015063927126	Then you think it is in some way connected with the woman found at Putney? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Then, after a little pause: “ May I ask his name? ” “ Certainly.
mdp.39015063927126	There was no an- swer, so I shouted,'Are you there?'
mdp.39015063927126	They pretty? ” “ What!
mdp.39015063927126	This is odd, is it not?
mdp.39015063927126	To whom could he turn for possible enlightenment?
mdp.39015063927126	Under what circumstances did she die?
mdp.39015063927126	Vic- which?
mdp.39015063927126	Was Albert Mensmore Sydney H. Corbett?
mdp.39015063927126	Was ever more out- landish instrument used with murderous intent?
mdp.39015063927126	Was he Mrs. Hillmer's brother?
mdp.39015063927126	Was it a habduction? ” “ The lady was dead — murdered, we believe. ” The cabman's face grew livid with anxiety.
mdp.39015063927126	Was it cast- iron? ” “ Yes, of good quality.
mdp.39015063927126	Was it reasonable that the girl could be the recipient of a legacy without the knowledge of her mother?
mdp.39015063927126	Was n't he there? ” Mr. White's face, not- withstanding its official decorum, betrayed its disap- pointment.
mdp.39015063927126	Was there any need to bring Mrs. Hillmer's name into the business?
mdp.39015063927126	Was this “ Colonel Mont- gomery ” in any way connected with the house at Putney where the murderer had disposed of the body?
mdp.39015063927126	Were they bought second- hand?
mdp.39015063927126	What cabman? ” “ Did I omit that?
mdp.39015063927126	What cabman? ” “ Did I omit that?
mdp.39015063927126	What curse has come upon the house that both should go? ” Bruce leaned over and shook the old butler firmly by the shoulder.
mdp.39015063927126	What did he say? ” “ Nothing, sir; except that he would call again.
mdp.39015063927126	What did it all mean?
mdp.39015063927126	What did you expect? ” Mr. White recovered his placidity.
mdp.39015063927126	What do you mean by wire?
mdp.39015063927126	What do you mean? ” “ Exactly what I say. ”"If you do n't quit this instant I will punch your head for you. ” “ Ah!
mdp.39015063927126	What do you say?'
mdp.39015063927126	What has Lady Dyke's death to do with your marriage to Miss Browne? ” “ That's it, Bruce.
mdp.39015063927126	What has it got to do with you, anyhow? ”[ 73] A Mysterious Disappearance “ Oh, a great deal.
mdp.39015063927126	What has my child done?'
mdp.39015063927126	What interpretation was he to place upon her words and her unrestrained actions?
mdp.39015063927126	What is it you want to know? ” Mr. White glanced at the barrister, and the other ex- plained.
mdp.39015063927126	What is there new about his wife? ”[ 171] A Mysterious Disappearance “ She is dead."
mdp.39015063927126	What new terror did not this frightful combination suggest?
mdp.39015063927126	What of them? ” “ Ah, there we may be forwarded a stage.
mdp.39015063927126	What on earth has he got to do with it, and why has Mensmore taken his name?
mdp.39015063927126	What other pretext could I invite for — for giving her up?"
mdp.39015063927126	What possible reason could he have had to decoy my wife to his flat and there murder her? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	What shall I do?
mdp.39015063927126	What shall I do? ” This outburst astounded Bruce.
mdp.39015063927126	What shall I say? ” “ You must make the best of it.
mdp.39015063927126	What sort of places are they? ” “ Quite fashionable, but not too expensive.
mdp.39015063927126	What would have resulted from the discovery of a chemist's mortar among the pos- sessions of one of Elizabeth Camp's male friends?
mdp.39015063927126	What would you advise?
mdp.39015063927126	What's the game?
mdp.39015063927126	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063927126	What's up?
mdp.39015063927126	What? ” Sir Charles jerked the words out impetuously.
mdp.39015063927126	When will they be in a position to complete?"
mdp.39015063927126	Where did Lady Dyke die?
mdp.39015063927126	Where did you pick her up? ” “ She's a housemaid, or something of the sort.
mdp.39015063927126	Where is his letter? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Which one is it?
mdp.39015063927126	White is a sharp fellow in his own way, Smith. ” “ Maybe, but why should'e come pokin'round'ere pryin'into your little affairs- deecur? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Who are her friends?
mdp.39015063927126	Who had any right to stop me?"
mdp.39015063927126	Who is she?
mdp.39015063927126	Who is she?
mdp.39015063927126	Who is she? ” He did not take advantage of the mention of a name which in no way stood for Sydney.
mdp.39015063927126	Who maintains her in such style?
mdp.39015063927126	Who was he?"
mdp.39015063927126	Who was her confidant?
mdp.39015063927126	Who — was — the lady? ” The barrister thought deeply before replying.
mdp.39015063927126	Who's been fooling you? ” “ That is not the way to talk to me, sir.
mdp.39015063927126	Why could you not let me finish the business in my own way? ” “ Because the world has some use for a man like you.
mdp.39015063927126	Why did he pretend ignorance not only of the locality but of his mother's maiden name?
mdp.39015063927126	Why did his friend conceal from him these most im- portant facts?
mdp.39015063927126	Why did she have that fear?
mdp.39015063927126	Why did you not tell me sooner? ”"Because you never asked me.
mdp.39015063927126	Why do n't you have el- e- vators in these big buildings? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	Why do you ask? ” “ Because I am anxious that nothing of this should get into the papers.
mdp.39015063927126	Why do you ask? ” “ No valid reason.
mdp.39015063927126	Why do you ask? ” “ Oh, it has something to do with the inquiry.
mdp.39015063927126	Why do you hesitate?
mdp.39015063927126	Why does he take pains to receive his correspondence in the manner he has adopted?
mdp.39015063927126	Why has he concealed his identity?
mdp.39015063927126	Why should she come to see me?
mdp.39015063927126	Why was it neces- sary to create a further scandal in addition to the disap- pearance of your unfortunate mistress? ” “ I am sorry for that.
mdp.39015063927126	Why, otherwise, should she make to the footman and myself the same unvarying statement?
mdp.39015063927126	Why, then, allow others, wholly innocent, to be dragged into the vortex?
mdp.39015063927126	Why? ” “ Because I have not seen her myself since yesterday morning.
mdp.39015063927126	Why?"
mdp.39015063927126	Will you accept it? ”"Most certainly. ” “ You are a queer chap, and no mistake.
mdp.39015063927126	Will you be home to lunch?
mdp.39015063927126	Will you get tea ready while I talk with him?
mdp.39015063927126	Will you give me a copy of the letter? ” “ Certainly, keep it yourself.
mdp.39015063927126	With calm tone, and slightly elevated eyebrows, she said: “ You wish to see me, I understand? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063927126	Would Mensmore, guilty, seek safety in flight?
mdp.39015063927126	Would he, innocent, return to London and demand to be confronted with his accusers?
mdp.39015063927126	Would she not have sought first to glorify herself in the sight of her fellow- servants, and even of her em- ployers?
mdp.39015063927126	You did n't hear, I suppose, that I have made my little nephew my heir?"
mdp.39015063927126	You do a great deal of underwriting, mostly for the flotation of gold- mining companies? ”[ 58] In the City “ Y- yes.
mdp.39015063927126	You have evidently come to the wrong office, Mr. Bruce. ” “ Are you quite sure? ” “ Well, nearly so.
mdp.39015063927126	You know Sir Charles Dyke, do you not?"
mdp.39015063927126	You might at least help me to settle matters; otherwise they will get terribly mixed. ” “ And you will stay? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	You must save him- do you hear?
mdp.39015063927126	[ 157] A Mysterious Disappearance “ Yes; do n't you remember? ” “ I get mixed up in thinking about things.
mdp.39015063927126	[ 208] A Wilful Murder “ But why has my sister been told that I ran serious risk of being apprehended on that account? ”.

mdp.39015063927126	[ 24] The Lady's Maid “ May I see it?
mdp.39015063927126	[ 256] A Mysterious Disappearance “ In what way? ” “ I frightened her.
mdp.39015063927126	[ 52] Miss Marie le Marchant “ Surely, you must feel that some explanation is due to us for your extraordinary behavior?"
mdp.39015063927126	have you had influenza?
mdp.39015063927126	· I wonder who he can be?
mdp.39015063927126	— to forget, as she puts it? ” “ We must decide nothing hastily.
mdp.39015063927126	“ A piece of the damaged fender placed in your rooms, Mr. Mensmore, was found in the murdered lady's head. ” “ Was it? ” he cried.
mdp.39015063927126	“ A sudden departure, eh? ” The girl was arranging some parcels on the seat in front of her.
mdp.39015063927126	“ A youngster, you say?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Ah, this was bad; why did he not consult me?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Albert Mensmore? ” “ That's the man beyond doubt. ” Dyke hastily poured out some whiskey and water and swallowed it.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Am I to look, too? ” “ Of course.
mdp.39015063927126	“ And if you have — to go — to China — you w- will take me with you? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ And now,"said the barrister, “ may I ask as a friend to what use you intend to put your newly found wealth? ” “ Oh, that is simple enough.
mdp.39015063927126	“ And the lady?
mdp.39015063927126	“ And what did Miss Browne say?".
mdp.39015063927126	“ And what did Mrs. Hillmer mean by kicking up that fuss when we spoke to her? ” interpolated White.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Are you acquainted with Mr. Corbett's present address?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Are you dining by yourself, then, Mrs. Hillmer? ” “ I hardly know.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Are you sure it's all right, and that you will not lose your money? ” “ It is as certain as any business can be.
mdp.39015063927126	“ But I understood, ” went on Bruce, “ that Sir Charles was not at home to ordinary callers? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ But if it can be proved? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ But what do you think? ” “ If you press me I will try to put my opinion into words.
mdp.39015063927126	“ But where is the good in paining you needlessly? ” “ That stage has passed, old chap.
mdp.39015063927126	“ But you have not appeared in public?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ But you wish me to walk on and mind my own busi- ness? ” “ Not exactly that, old chap.
mdp.39015063927126	“ By the way, where is your sister?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Can you describe the gentleman? ” said the barrister.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Could you tell us, if you were shown a certain person, that he was not the man?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Did I? ” said the baronet.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Did n't I tell you so? ” Mensmore came forward to her side of the table.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Did you ascertain the names of the parties? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Did you give her any reason for your absurd reso- lution? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do n't you see,"he almost moaned, “ that this is the reason I have remained indoors for so long?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do n't you think you have troubled him sufficiently for this evening?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do they?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do you intend to show this letter to Lady Dyke's relatives? ” asked Bruce, at a loss for the time to discuss the situation coherently.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do you know what you are saying? ” “ Fully.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do you mean by a search warrant? ” “ Certainly not.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do you mean that he will kill himself? ” “ I do.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do you remember me? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Do you[ 27] A Mysterious Disappearance nce object to my presence in this inquiry?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Dreamt?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Eh?
mdp.39015063927126	“ For being concerned in the murder of Lady Dyke, on or about November 6 last. ” “ Lady Dyke? ” “ Yes. ” “ Arrest me?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ For being concerned in the murder of Lady Dyke, on or about November 6 last. ” “ Lady Dyke? ” “ Yes. ” “ Arrest me?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ For what, Mr. Bruce? ” This emancipated servant girl was not such a simpleton as she looked.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Found anything? ” inquired Claude, without looking at him.
mdp.39015063927126	“ From the railway official's description?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Going away? ” cried Bruce.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Good- bye! ” “ Shall I see you again soon? ” “ I fear not.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Has Jane Harding been here, then? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Has your search developed in other directions?."
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you and Sir Charles been friendly since?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you any objection to a copy being made? ” he.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you been long in town, Mrs. Harding? ” he said, by way of being civil.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you ever heard of a Colonel Montgomery? ” he said suddenly, bending his searching gaze on the other's downcast face.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you formed any sort of theory, even a wildly speculative one? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you known this long? ” “ For some weeks."
mdp.39015063927126	“ Have you prevailed on your sister to take us into her confidence? ” he said, when Mensmore was ensconced in a chair in his cosy sitting- room.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Heavens, Claude, how did you learn all this? ” cried the baronet.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Here guv'nor, ” he yelled, “ what the ballyhooley do you call this? ” “ What's the matter? ” was the impatient query.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Here guv'nor, ” he yelled, “ what the ballyhooley do you call this? ” “ What's the matter? ” was the impatient query.
mdp.39015063927126	“ How are you?
mdp.39015063927126	“ How do you know? ” “ By intuition.
mdp.39015063927126	“ How strange! ” “ There is no reason now,"broke in the detective, “ why the body should not be moved? ” Claude shuddered at the phrase.
mdp.39015063927126	“ I hope so, sweet. ” “ That will be very nice, wo n't it?
mdp.39015063927126	“ I hope you shook hands with him as he asked you to do? ”[ 302]
mdp.39015063927126	“ I know you have learned the truth, and in no other way that I can imagine could it have reached you. ” “ Learnt what truth?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ I take it that we are talking with a definite view to business? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ In London, do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Indeed, what is the matter? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Is Mrs. Hillmer at home? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Is it not better to end all inquiries, at least so far as my wife is concerned?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Is this palaverin'to go on all night?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ It was equally indisputable that she was put to death by malice aforethought? ” “ Oh, yes.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Look here, ” he said, avoiding Bruce's steadfast gaze, “ what are you talking about?
mdp.39015063927126	“ May I ask who the present owner is? ” “ Certainly, the lady's name is Small.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Maybe you remember these? ” said Bruce, producing his cigar- case.
mdp.39015063927126	“ My what? ” “ Sorry, sir, but that's what a French maid I once knew called'em.
mdp.39015063927126	“ No, I do n't feel a bit like it. ” “ But why did you go away? ” “ To suit myself. ” “ Could you not have given notice?
mdp.39015063927126	“ No, I do n't feel a bit like it. ” “ But why did you go away? ” “ To suit myself. ” “ Could you not have given notice?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Not Jane Harding, surely? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Now who would have thought such a thing possible?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Now, is that so?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Now, wot's the gyme? ” said the collector to himself.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Oh, Mr. Bruce, is it you?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Or what? ” The revolver still hovered across the table.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Really now, may I ask why, sir?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Say, Rosen- heim, who's the new coryphée over there?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Scotland Yard and yourself evolved the same theory, eh?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Shall I order the carriage for your ladyship? ” “ Will you listen to me and remember what I have said? ” “ Yes, milady."
mdp.39015063927126	“ Shall I order the carriage for your ladyship? ” “ Will you listen to me and remember what I have said? ” “ Yes, milady."
mdp.39015063927126	“ She's dead, you s'y? ” “ Yes. ” “ But ’ ow'd you know she's dead, if you ’ ai n't seen'er since? ” “ I have seen her.
mdp.39015063927126	“ She's dead, you s'y? ” “ Yes. ” “ But ’ ow'd you know she's dead, if you ’ ai n't seen'er since? ” “ I have seen her.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Sir Charles is not at home? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Suppose the French police do n't succeed in catching him?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ The police, indeed, ” she snorted;"what have the police to do with me?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Then who is Mr. Sydney H. Corbett whom you be- lieve, as well as I, to be the murderer of Lady Dyke? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Then why did n't you tell me? ” “ Because I have no definite reason for connecting Mensmore with Lady Dyke's death.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Then why did you look so worried during dinner? ” “ Simply because I know Sir Charles. ” “ What a dear, sympathetic little boy you are!
mdp.39015063927126	“ Thompson,'sez she,'is Sir Chawles at'ome?'
mdp.39015063927126	“ Unless the whole thing is a fraud. ” “ How can it be a fraud?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Was it to ask about my health that you came? ” “ No, sir, not exactly.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Was that step necessary at your time of life? ” “ I shall never marry again, Bruce. ” “ Well, let us drop the subject.
mdp.39015063927126	“ We must see him. ” “ Thompson, ” said Bruce, “ does Sir Charles usually lock his door?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Well, Claude, ” he said wearily, “ anything to report? ” “ Yes, a good deal. ” “ What is it? ” “ I want to ask you something.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Well, Claude, ” he said wearily, “ anything to report? ” “ Yes, a good deal. ” “ What is it? ” “ I want to ask you something.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Well, Mr. Bruce, have you a theory?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Well, sir, it is a great thing to have localized her movements at that hour, is n't it? ” “ Yes, it is.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Were there many people about? ” “ You could ’ ardly tell, sir; it was that foggy and nasty.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Were you in the Square or in Sloane Street? ” “ In Sloane Street, of course.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What are we after?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ What are you going to do about Corbett? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What do you know about her? ” he cried.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What do you make of it, Claude? ” Bruce, too, was very grave.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What do you make of it? ” said Bruce.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What is it, Simmonds? ” I said, as I correctly guessed the message to be from Mrs. Hillmer.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What is it? ” The baronet was for the moment aroused from his despondent lethargy.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What is this nonsense Mensmore's sister talked about being responsible for my wife's death? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What people?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ What! ” he cried,"you think she is there all the time? ” “ I think she has been there since Wednesday morning. ” “ That is what I mean.
mdp.39015063927126	“ What's in the wind there?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Where else?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Who's the cable for, boy?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Why do n't you take my advice, and go away for some shooting?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Why do you put it in that way?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Why not?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Why were the repairs effected at this moment? ” “ Well, sir, the house was empty quite a while.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Why? ”[ 18] Inspector White “ He will disturb every one of the residents by injudi- cious inquiries.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Will Lady Dyke hunt this season? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Will we cart him off? ” “ Well, now, that depends.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Will you not communicate with Sir Charles? ” he said, utterly baffled by Miss le Marchant's uncompromising attitude.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Wo n't you except pigeon- shooting? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Wot was wrong with the lydy?
mdp.39015063927126	“ Yes. ” “ Intimately? ” “ Well, no, not exactly.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Yes. ” “ Then tell me what has happened since to cause this obvious change in your opinion of me?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ Yes; the workmen's description left no other idea. ” “ Could not the tide have done this? ” “ Hardly.
mdp.39015063927126	“ Yes? ” “ This person occupies a flat in No.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You allude to Mr. White? ” said the barrister, looking steadily at her.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You are here, I suppose, to ask my advice in pur- suance of our understanding that we are working together in the matter, as it were? ” he said.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You are not hurt, I hope? ” “ It is matterless.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You can not deny you wrote that letter to Sir Charles Dyke last Saturday? ”"I am waiting for my tea.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You have heard about Sydney H. Corbett?"
mdp.39015063927126	“ You have quite made up your mind, then, that Sydney H. Corbett is the murderer? ”.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You have seen Bertie? ” “ Yes; your brother, is he not? ” “ My half- brother, to be exact.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You have seen Bertie? ” “ Yes; your brother, is he not? ” “ My half- brother, to be exact.
mdp.39015063927126	“ You told me, ” he said, “ that Mensmore and you were at school together?"

mdp.39015063942851	Did you see or were you seen by any one?
mdp.39015063942851	Did you suspect any one person?
mdp.39015063942851	Did you want to warn him?
mdp.39015063942851	Do n't you believe her?
mdp.39015063942851	Do n't you see it?
mdp.39015063942851	Do n't you see you're headed for the electric chair? mdp.39015063942851 Do n't you think I know a body when I see one?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you feel able to talk?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you have a permit?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you know any reason why Mrs. Briggs should have been murdered?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you know of any reason why Mrs. Briggs would want to commit suicide?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you know that the whole store has been talking about you and Mr. Charles Doane?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you mean to say you're wasting your time with all these questions when the murderer probably en- tered and left by that rear corridor?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you realize,I asked point- blank,"that the de- tective is inclined to suspect you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you remember which one she was looking at as you approached her?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you suspect me?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you think the bag of jewels you found may be connected with her mur- der?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you think you could identify the man by the suit he wore?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you want a wife,I asked tartly,"or something to dress up and show to your friends?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you want to be arrested?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you wish them sent?
mdp.39015063942851	Does n't your accounting system show the vulnerable spots?
mdp.39015063942851	Does n't your report say?
mdp.39015063942851	Does that come from upstairs?
mdp.39015063942851	Every morning?
mdp.39015063942851	Everything was as you left it when you returned?
mdp.39015063942851	For me or for you?
mdp.39015063942851	Fresh air in a cab, Miss Oliver?
mdp.39015063942851	From what?
mdp.39015063942851	Getting it down pretty fine, are n't you?
mdp.39015063942851	Has Charles Doane ever done or said anything which would lead you to believe that he knew about the Briggs scandal?
mdp.39015063942851	Has your mother ever had one of these attacks be- fore?
mdp.39015063942851	Have n't they tried to reduce overhead?
mdp.39015063942851	Have n't you any other clues?
mdp.39015063942851	Have they left?
mdp.39015063942851	Have you any explanations about the shortages?
mdp.39015063942851	Have you any idea about the jewels? mdp.39015063942851 He's the personnel man, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063942851	Hear anything else?
mdp.39015063942851	Herbert, Kramer and Grover?
mdp.39015063942851	How about her private life?
mdp.39015063942851	How about that meeting? mdp.39015063942851 How about that porthole?"
mdp.39015063942851	How about the dart in Mr. Doane's seat?
mdp.39015063942851	How about the police?
mdp.39015063942851	How about this Willie person?
mdp.39015063942851	How and when did his finger- prints get there?
mdp.39015063942851	How are they?
mdp.39015063942851	How are you going to explain your fingerprints? mdp.39015063942851 How can the likes of me do you a favor?"
mdp.39015063942851	How can we concentrate on anything, under the circumstances?
mdp.39015063942851	How did he take it?
mdp.39015063942851	How did those torpedoes get out there on the floor?
mdp.39015063942851	How did you feel about Mr. Charles Doane's sug- gestion that Mrs. Briggs be let go?
mdp.39015063942851	How did you know that Miss Oliver told Mrs. Briggs about you and her son?
mdp.39015063942851	How did you know?
mdp.39015063942851	How do I know?
mdp.39015063942851	How do you get there?
mdp.39015063942851	How do you know she was in there?
mdp.39015063942851	How do you know so much about this?
mdp.39015063942851	How do you like this?
mdp.39015063942851	How do you think she was strangled?
mdp.39015063942851	How is she?
mdp.39015063942851	How large is a bale?
mdp.39015063942851	How long did she stay here?
mdp.39015063942851	How long did you stay here?
mdp.39015063942851	How long has Eva Sutton been employed in the store?
mdp.39015063942851	How long have you known her?
mdp.39015063942851	How long was it from the time you saw Miss Oliver until you heard the scream?
mdp.39015063942851	How long were you gone?
mdp.39015063942851	How long were you in your office?
mdp.39015063942851	How's your head?
mdp.39015063942851	I can stand it, all right, but why?
mdp.39015063942851	I might, but why do you think she's so important?
mdp.39015063942851	I neither look nor act like a roue, do I?
mdp.39015063942851	I was in it, why not?
mdp.39015063942851	I wonder if she did?
mdp.39015063942851	If it's such nonsense,she turned to me,"why were they both killed?"
mdp.39015063942851	If the death of Mrs. Briggs is connected with the store in any way, how does young Briggs enter into it?
mdp.39015063942851	If there was anything crooked going on in the store, would you know about it?
mdp.39015063942851	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063942851	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063942851	Is it poisoned?
mdp.39015063942851	Is it true, Mr. Conklin, that a wife can not be made to testify against her husband?
mdp.39015063942851	Is n't Mrs. Doyle any better?
mdp.39015063942851	Is n't Park Avenue the street of kept women now?
mdp.39015063942851	Is n't it pretty late to be going to lunch?
mdp.39015063942851	Is n't she in the department? mdp.39015063942851 Is n't that what you said?"
mdp.39015063942851	Is n't there any business at all?
mdp.39015063942851	Is she dead?
mdp.39015063942851	Is she going home?
mdp.39015063942851	Is that what you were holding back when you talked to the detective?
mdp.39015063942851	Is there a parade somewhere?
mdp.39015063942851	Is there an incinerator in the building?
mdp.39015063942851	Is there something I can do for you?
mdp.39015063942851	It makes it look bad for Miss Oliver, does n't it?
mdp.39015063942851	It's a bit like hunting for a needle in a haystack, is n't it?
mdp.39015063942851	Just what are you driving at?
mdp.39015063942851	Just what does that mean?
mdp.39015063942851	Just where do I come in?
mdp.39015063942851	Know anything about her?
mdp.39015063942851	Like to stretch your legs and rest your hand?
mdp.39015063942851	Love at first sight, eh?
mdp.39015063942851	May I go?
mdp.39015063942851	Miss Oliver?
mdp.39015063942851	More of your intuition?
mdp.39015063942851	Mrs. Briggs is dead, is n't she?
mdp.39015063942851	Must I answer that?
mdp.39015063942851	Must I?
mdp.39015063942851	On what?
mdp.39015063942851	Outside of Miss Oliver, was there any one else in here while you were working?
mdp.39015063942851	Peter,I said, interrupting him,"why did n't we think of it before?"
mdp.39015063942851	Pranks?
mdp.39015063942851	Robbed a bank, raped a virgin, or murdered an old lady for her false teeth?
mdp.39015063942851	Saying her prayers, you say? mdp.39015063942851 See him to- day?"
mdp.39015063942851	See that?
mdp.39015063942851	Sleeping?
mdp.39015063942851	So she knew she was going to be fired, eh?
mdp.39015063942851	So that was why Briggs accused you of spying?
mdp.39015063942851	Sort of a spy- glass?
mdp.39015063942851	Sort of clear the fog?
mdp.39015063942851	Take what back?
mdp.39015063942851	That was before the store opened, was n't it?
mdp.39015063942851	That would be evidence of guilt?
mdp.39015063942851	The elevator, you mean?
mdp.39015063942851	The hairs?
mdp.39015063942851	Then he confessed?
mdp.39015063942851	Then it was planted to make it look like suicide?
mdp.39015063942851	Then what did kill her?
mdp.39015063942851	Then where is the necklace?
mdp.39015063942851	Then who is?
mdp.39015063942851	Then why does n't the Oliver girl talk? mdp.39015063942851 Then you and she had talked about shortages be- fore?"
mdp.39015063942851	Then you came down the back elevators?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you did?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you expected something to happen?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you left him here this morning?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you think the store thefts have something to do with her death?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you were educated abroad?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you'll do it?
mdp.39015063942851	Then you've been carrying out the wishes of a dead man?
mdp.39015063942851	Then, where did you meet her — pick her up on the street?
mdp.39015063942851	These girls who were transferred from your department, were they friends of Briggs?
mdp.39015063942851	These other girls,I asked with more brutality than was necessary,"were they platonic friendships, too?"
mdp.39015063942851	This information you have for us?
mdp.39015063942851	Understood by whom?
mdp.39015063942851	Voices?
mdp.39015063942851	Want any help?
mdp.39015063942851	Want to quit?
mdp.39015063942851	Was Mr. Briggs with his mother when you left her office?
mdp.39015063942851	Was it planned?
mdp.39015063942851	Was n't he with you?
mdp.39015063942851	Was n't it the chain?
mdp.39015063942851	Was n't she the woman you brought —?
mdp.39015063942851	Was that so important?
mdp.39015063942851	Was there any sign of a struggle?
mdp.39015063942851	We'll have to notify them, wo n't we?
mdp.39015063942851	Well, are you going to tell me or will I have to drag it out of you? mdp.39015063942851 Well,"Peter said,"what have you two to say for yourselves?"
mdp.39015063942851	Were n't you concerned about this lady?
mdp.39015063942851	Were you alone when Willie came down?
mdp.39015063942851	Were you in Mrs. Briggs'office this morning?
mdp.39015063942851	What are 46 THE WHISPERING WINDOW you doing here?
mdp.39015063942851	What are you after?
mdp.39015063942851	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015063942851	What are you doing?
mdp.39015063942851	What are you going to do about it? mdp.39015063942851 What are you going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063942851	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063942851	What could happen?
mdp.39015063942851	What did Mrs. Briggs say about it?
mdp.39015063942851	What did Mrs. Briggs want?
mdp.39015063942851	What did Willie tell you about the things that had been happening upstairs?
mdp.39015063942851	What did you do about it?
mdp.39015063942851	What did you do in your office?
mdp.39015063942851	What did you hear?
mdp.39015063942851	What do you know about them?
mdp.39015063942851	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063942851	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063942851	What for?
mdp.39015063942851	What happened to her?
mdp.39015063942851	What happened to the lights?
mdp.39015063942851	What happened, Clayton?
mdp.39015063942851	What happened?
mdp.39015063942851	What happened?
mdp.39015063942851	What have you done?
mdp.39015063942851	What have you got against her, anyhow?
mdp.39015063942851	What if it's a boy?
mdp.39015063942851	What is it, a new trout fly?
mdp.39015063942851	What is it?
mdp.39015063942851	What powers?
mdp.39015063942851	What sort of trouble?
mdp.39015063942851	What was Mrs. Briggs doing with them?
mdp.39015063942851	What were you doing on the balcony?
mdp.39015063942851	What were you doing there?
mdp.39015063942851	What will it be?
mdp.39015063942851	What's she got to do with it, anyhow?
mdp.39015063942851	What's the button for?
mdp.39015063942851	What's the idea of this thing, anyhow?
mdp.39015063942851	What's the matter with him?
mdp.39015063942851	What's the plan?
mdp.39015063942851	What?
mdp.39015063942851	What?
mdp.39015063942851	What?
mdp.39015063942851	What?
mdp.39015063942851	What?
mdp.39015063942851	When did you take that one out of the machine?
mdp.39015063942851	When was the last time you saw Carl Briggs, pri- vately I mean?
mdp.39015063942851	When you came back and found Willie gone, think hard,I cautioned,"did you notice anything unusual about the place?"
mdp.39015063942851	When?
mdp.39015063942851	When?
mdp.39015063942851	Where are they?
mdp.39015063942851	Where are your losses?
mdp.39015063942851	Where did Willie go from here?

mdp.39015063942851	Where's the switch- box?
mdp.39015063942851	Where?
mdp.39015063942851	Where?
mdp.39015063942851	Which one is guilty?
mdp.39015063942851	Which one of them carried you?
mdp.39015063942851	Who are'they'?
mdp.39015063942851	Who called her?
mdp.39015063942851	Who gave you your information? mdp.39015063942851 Who is it?"
mdp.39015063942851	Who is she?
mdp.39015063942851	Who is the girl?
mdp.39015063942851	Who knocked me down?
mdp.39015063942851	Who or what group of people in the store would want the Briggs woman out of the way?
mdp.39015063942851	Who saw you?
mdp.39015063942851	Who told you?
mdp.39015063942851	Who would want to kill old Briggs?
mdp.39015063942851	Who would want to kill you?
mdp.39015063942851	Who'd want to murder him?
mdp.39015063942851	Who?
mdp.39015063942851	Who?
mdp.39015063942851	Who?
mdp.39015063942851	Who?
mdp.39015063942851	Why are you afraid?
mdp.39015063942851	Why are you so positive?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did he take it out of the chest where Mrs. Doyle saw it?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did n't I meet her before?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did n't you tell me this before?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did they kill him?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did you come in?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did you get the gun?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did you go to see your husband this morning?
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you ask the Oliver girl what she was doing in that little office just before Carl was shot?
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you go on with your investigation and prove yourself wrong, so you can get on the right WHISPERING WINDOW track?
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you rest a minute?
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you tell me the truth?
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you wait until you learn something about the girl?
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you?
mdp.39015063942851	Why does it have to happen now when I'm as good as broke?
mdp.39015063942851	Why was n't the Sutton girl discharged?
mdp.39015063942851	Why were you breaking in here?
mdp.39015063942851	Why were you out of the store, Miss Oliver?
mdp.39015063942851	Why were you so long getting here?
mdp.39015063942851	Why,I asked,"did the murderer permit Eva Sutton to live all day?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Will you sign this?
mdp.39015063942851	Women always side with each other, do n't they?
mdp.39015063942851	Would it help to remind you that the scream came at exactly ten minutes past nine by the store clock?
mdp.39015063942851	Would n't they be burned if she had taken poison? mdp.39015063942851 Would that be possible?"
mdp.39015063942851	Yes, is n't it?
mdp.39015063942851	You are quite sure, Miss Sutton?
mdp.39015063942851	You called him to tell him she had committed sui- cide, was that it?
mdp.39015063942851	You did n't see the bottle of poison?
mdp.39015063942851	You do n't suppose I'd be wasting my time if I were sure, do you?
mdp.39015063942851	You do n't want Mr. Briggs to get into trouble, do you?
mdp.39015063942851	You know Miss Sutton quite well?
mdp.39015063942851	You know him?
mdp.39015063942851	You mean the Sutton girl?
mdp.39015063942851	You mean the new one?
mdp.39015063942851	You never can be sure of people, can you?
mdp.39015063942851	You really do n't know much about department stores, do you?
mdp.39015063942851	You reported those things to the store detectives?
mdp.39015063942851	You rested in one of these offices, I believe?
mdp.39015063942851	You sure?
mdp.39015063942851	You tell your story and then what hap- pens? mdp.39015063942851 You walked up and rode back?"
mdp.39015063942851	You were here,Peter asked,"when your mother sent for Miss Sutton?"
mdp.39015063942851	You were in here this morning?
mdp.39015063942851	You were married to him, were n't you?
mdp.39015063942851	You were the one who found the body and screamed?
mdp.39015063942851	You wo n't tell them about Charlie and the scandal?
mdp.39015063942851	You'll keep this family scandal out of the papers, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063942851	You're not going to put in all the things you've just told me, are you?
mdp.39015063942851	You're sure Mrs. Briggs was alive when you heard Herbert speak?
mdp.39015063942851	You're sure of that?
mdp.39015063942851	( His tone said clearly,"Why bother me with that now?")
mdp.39015063942851	106THE WHISPERING WINDOW"What did she say to Miss Sutton?"
mdp.39015063942851	138 THE WHISPERING WINDOW"So what?"
mdp.39015063942851	146 THE WHISPERING WINDOW 147 Beth looked at me and asked,"You do n't believe these stories, do you?"
mdp.39015063942851	148 THE WHISPERING WINDOW"Just what did you hear in the washroom?"
mdp.39015063942851	196THE WHISPERING WINDOW"How about a drink?"
mdp.39015063942851	213 214THE WHISPERING WINDOW"Are you punning?"
mdp.39015063942851	57 58 THE WHISPERING WINDOW"You believed it suicide?"
mdp.39015063942851	72 THE WHISPERING WINDOW"What were they saying?"
mdp.39015063942851	81 82 THE WHISPERING WINDOW Davis dug into his pocket and pulled out a package of cigarettes and said with a nod toward me,"Do you mind?"
mdp.39015063942851	88 THE WHISPERING WINDOW"Checking back on me, eh?
mdp.39015063942851	A little later Peter came over THE WHISPERING WINDOW 121"What does this mean?"
mdp.39015063942851	After a few moments of quiet she turned to me and asked,"When am I going to look at the men?
mdp.39015063942851	After she had gone and we heard the door in the outer partition close, Peter turned to me and said,"Why does n't she tell all she knows?"
mdp.39015063942851	Agreed?"
mdp.39015063942851	Any special reason?"
mdp.39015063942851	As they left I turned to Charlie and said,"Fine- looking girl, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063942851	Before he answered, I went on,"You do n't want outside interests in there, do you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Before she could answer, Charlie asked,"How did Mrs. Briggs discover the truth?"
mdp.39015063942851	Briggs?"
mdp.39015063942851	Briggs?"
mdp.39015063942851	Briggs?"
mdp.39015063942851	Briggs?"
mdp.39015063942851	Briggs?"
mdp.39015063942851	Briggs?"
mdp.39015063942851	Bring her in here, will you?
mdp.39015063942851	Ca n't you get it through your head that he suspects you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Ca n't you let some one else do it for you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Can you occupy yourself for an hour or two?"
mdp.39015063942851	Charlie did n't help matters any when he came down, took one sniff and saidj"Come up and sit in my office for a while, will you?
mdp.39015063942851	Could n't you get the reporters to run a story about her, asking her to come back to the store?"
mdp.39015063942851	Curtis?"
mdp.39015063942851	Did I hurt you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Did she think the son had killed his mother for her money?
mdp.39015063942851	Did the man know as much as I thought I did?
mdp.39015063942851	Did you ever hear of any one weeping comfortably on a flat chest?
mdp.39015063942851	Did you ever stop to think of a man's lot in life?
mdp.39015063942851	Did you get any information from the Oliver girl?"
mdp.39015063942851	Did you happen to hear any of their conversation as you came in or went out?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do n't you see the Sutton girl was prob- ably the club which has been held over his head all along?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do n't you see what he has been doing?
mdp.39015063942851	Do n't you think I'm right?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you know the terror of unexplainable fear?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you remember the door I pointed out to you this morning?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you suppose she broke with him just because of what she happened to hear in the washroom?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you think I can be lugging that THE WHISPERING WINDOW 45 the poison?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you think I'm a fool?
mdp.39015063942851	Do you think he was in love with her?"
mdp.39015063942851	Do you want to ruin your career by making a fatal mistake?"
mdp.39015063942851	Doane?"
mdp.39015063942851	Doyle?"
mdp.39015063942851	Furthermore, is there a mark of her lips on the cup?"
mdp.39015063942851	Had Charlie's attentions given her ideas?
mdp.39015063942851	Had Peter thought of that?
mdp.39015063942851	Had she intended to commit suicide, after all?
mdp.39015063942851	Had she pur- posely worked on my curiosity with this important secret she had to tell me, so that I would ask Charlie to dinner with her?
mdp.39015063942851	Had you thought of that?"
mdp.39015063942851	Hastings?"
mdp.39015063942851	Hastings?"
mdp.39015063942851	Have you ever been so terrified that you did n't dare blink an eye- lash?
mdp.39015063942851	Have you ever been unaccountably afraid?
mdp.39015063942851	He bent a little closer and asked,"Is the coast all clear?"
mdp.39015063942851	He just came home, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063942851	He paced up and down a minute and then asked,"Who did it?"
mdp.39015063942851	He surprised me by asking,"Do you think this crime was planned?"
mdp.39015063942851	He turned and faced me more annoyed than ever, and said,"What does he know about it?
mdp.39015063942851	He turned to Davis,"Get the Sutton girl, will you?"
mdp.39015063942851	He went to the door and called petulantly to Smith,"Has n't that Willie man returned to duty yet?"
mdp.39015063942851	How could I?"
mdp.39015063942851	How did the man get in- side without some one seeing him?
mdp.39015063942851	How did you get mixed up in it?"
mdp.39015063942851	How long will you be?"
mdp.39015063942851	How to get at her through the paper?
mdp.39015063942851	How was Carl Briggs connected with that discovery — and Charlie, what of him?
mdp.39015063942851	I clutched at his arm,"Charlie, you do n't mean they tried to kill you that way, do you?
mdp.39015063942851	I do n't suppose we can""Why did n't you post a sign in the store this morn- ing,"I snapped,"warning murderers to wait until the sale was over?"
mdp.39015063942851	I had an idea and asked,"When do you think the murder was committed?"
mdp.39015063942851	I had had all I wanted of mine and sat back and demanded,"Why did you hide this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063942851	I looked at Peter intently for a moment and said,"Do you want to make a bet?"
mdp.39015063942851	I nodded and whispered,"Have n't you found the body?"
mdp.39015063942851	I remembered her accusation and asked,"Were you in that room at the head of the stairs?"
mdp.39015063942851	I smoke, but when an ash- tray is full I empty it into a waste- basket — that's i84 THE WHISPERING WINDOW"Why?"
mdp.39015063942851	I stopped and asked,"Is there something I can do for you?"
mdp.39015063942851	I suppose you are thinking,"Why does n't she get on with the story?"
mdp.39015063942851	I turned to Beth then and asked,"Do you think Carl Briggs was an honest man?"
mdp.39015063942851	I was letting my mind play with something which was too inhuman and too ghastly, and yet"How many bales do you make during a day?"
mdp.39015063942851	I was thinking beyond the compli- ment when Herbert exploded impatiently,"Why do n't they come with the stretcher?"
mdp.39015063942851	I wonder what he saw, standing there?"
mdp.39015063942851	I'll be all right, but how about some din- ner?
mdp.39015063942851	If Charlie paused there and looked over the store, where was Herbert at that moment?
mdp.39015063942851	If I managed to cry out or struggle would I be killed for my effort and would the mysterious killer go free again?
mdp.39015063942851	If he had sent for the woman's daugh- ter, why did he want me?
mdp.39015063942851	If she was interested in Herbert, how else can we explain her connections with Carl Briggs?
mdp.39015063942851	If the store is doing business, why are you on the verge of ruin?"
mdp.39015063942851	If you had nothing to hide, why did n't you tell me about your visit to Mrs. Briggs just before the store opened?"
mdp.39015063942851	If you had planned a rather clever way to kill a man you would be uneasy until he was dead, would n't you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Imagine how you would feel if you had transferred it from one hiding- place to another and expected any moment to have some one find it?"
mdp.39015063942851	Is it still on?"
mdp.39015063942851	Is n't a story from her worth trying before you do something which I know you'll regret later?"
mdp.39015063942851	Is that it?"
mdp.39015063942851	Is there some one we could notify?"
mdp.39015063942851	It will be a Doane store in name only, is that what's worrying you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Just sit there and let the whole thing go to pot?"
mdp.39015063942851	On the way down the Avenue Charlie asked,"Are you thinking of Banter?"
mdp.39015063942851	One of them was guilty, but which one?
mdp.39015063942851	Peter braced himself squarely in front of her and demanded harshly,"Just what do you know?"
mdp.39015063942851	Peter pondered a minute and then asked,"If Doane saw anything which would have incriminated his brother- in- law, do you think he would have told me?"
mdp.39015063942851	Peter then turned to Banter and asked,"Did you see Mrs. Briggs this morning?"
mdp.39015063942851	Peter turned to Herbert then and asked,"Do you know offhand the shortage figures in the jewelry de- partment?"
mdp.39015063942851	She THE WHISPERING WINDOW 127 asked, and her question was logical enough,"Why do you suppose they kept such a big fat woman on in the store?"
mdp.39015063942851	She gave me a glance which was more squint than anything else and said,"And what is it you're detectin'?"
mdp.39015063942851	Suppose the poor soul had ended her life in his store on one of his Sales Days?
mdp.39015063942851	Suppose they find your fingerprints in that lift?"
mdp.39015063942851	Surely you want a criminal brought to justice?
mdp.39015063942851	THE WHISPERING WINDOW 143"What did she have to say about him?"
mdp.39015063942851	THE WHISPERING WINDOW 229"Who?"
mdp.39015063942851	THE WHISPERING WINDOW 79"Were you returning by way of the corridor?"
mdp.39015063942851	THE WHISPERING WINDOW 99"Now, what could I know?"
mdp.39015063942851	The implication was obvious, but Charlie surprised me by asking,"What of it?"
mdp.39015063942851	There is nothing to say to an old person's reminiscences except,"Is that so?"
mdp.39015063942851	Was Peter watching?
mdp.39015063942851	Was it about some particular girl?"
mdp.39015063942851	Was it because sitting in the room next to us she had heard our talk and exclamations when Sandy uncovered the murder?
mdp.39015063942851	Was it blown at you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Was it so ter- rible?"
mdp.39015063942851	Was that her real reason for breaking with Briggs?
mdp.39015063942851	Was that to be my end?
mdp.39015063942851	Was that why Miss Oliver had hesitated when asked about the son?
mdp.39015063942851	Was the store equipped with chutes leading to the furnace similar to those seen in apartment houses?
mdp.39015063942851	We had the entire floor to ourselves, which made me feel safe to ask,"Are n't you staking rather a lot on to- night?"
mdp.39015063942851	We just hoped that you might have seen or heard something""You mean the man who owns the store?"
mdp.39015063942851	We've checked all the people who used the door into the book department, have n't we?"
mdp.39015063942851	Were we going to get the answer to the riddle so easily?
mdp.39015063942851	What about the son?"
mdp.39015063942851	What are we going to do?"
mdp.39015063942851	What are you going to do?"
mdp.39015063942851	What did Beth Oliver want to tell me?
mdp.39015063942851	What did she know about the son that she had n't told?
mdp.39015063942851	What did you see?"
mdp.39015063942851	What does one do?"
mdp.39015063942851	What gets into store people?
mdp.39015063942851	What had Charlie meant when he said Willie Evans would n't be found?
mdp.39015063942851	What had Mrs. Briggs discovered that made her death imperative?
mdp.39015063942851	What had Peter unearthed that I knew nothing about?
mdp.39015063942851	What had happened to him?
mdp.39015063942851	What had happened to them all?
mdp.39015063942851	What has he been doing all day?
mdp.39015063942851	What have you done with him?
mdp.39015063942851	What is she » holding back?"
mdp.39015063942851	What more could I do for him?
mdp.39015063942851	What more is there?"
mdp.39015063942851	What of it?
mdp.39015063942851	What paper would Mrs. Doyle be likely to read?
mdp.39015063942851	What was Briggs to you?"
mdp.39015063942851	What was his plan?
mdp.39015063942851	What's her job?"
mdp.39015063942851	What's to prevent his shooting the woman?"
mdp.39015063942851	When I had explained my part in the drama he said,"You think Herbert or Grover thought you were the dead woman?"
mdp.39015063942851	When Peter found you in that room you were wearing gloves, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063942851	When Peter had finished that operation Charlie said,"Now will you tell me what it's all about?"
mdp.39015063942851	When did you see Evans?"
mdp.39015063942851	When he did mention her it was to ask,"Is n't she wonderful?"
mdp.39015063942851	When you came down in the receiving- room elevator, did you see any one coming out of the corridor?"
mdp.39015063942851	Where had Herbert gone?
mdp.39015063942851	Where had she gone and why?
mdp.39015063942851	Where is Charles Doane?"
mdp.39015063942851	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063942851	Where was Peter?
mdp.39015063942851	Where was he?
mdp.39015063942851	Where were the others?
mdp.39015063942851	Where were you from the time you left those offices until you reappeared there?"
mdp.39015063942851	Which one would she recognize?
mdp.39015063942851	Who was it and what did the person want?
mdp.39015063942851	Why are men so sloppy about ashes?
mdp.39015063942851	Why are people so shyly ashamed of being in love?
mdp.39015063942851	Why be remarkable if you ca n't get some fun out of it?
mdp.39015063942851	Why could n't she have waited?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did he think he had to spy on me?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did n't he do something?
mdp.39015063942851	Why did n't you tell me that you had been making a spectacle of yourself over the girl?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why did she encourage you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why did you bring it down?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why did you keep her on?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why do n't you tell Peter?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why do women fight so with each other over men?
mdp.39015063942851	Why had an attempt been made on his life?
mdp.39015063942851	Why had n't some one heard the murderer?
mdp.39015063942851	Why had n't we discovered the 252 THE WHISPERING WINDOW body in one of the beds?
mdp.39015063942851	Why had she sud- denly decided to let the store take care of itself?
mdp.39015063942851	Why make the place in which you spend most of your life a drab horror?
mdp.39015063942851	Why on earth did n't they do something?
mdp.39015063942851	Why should they?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why under the sun had n't she told Peter the story she was keeping for me?
mdp.39015063942851	Why was that Sutton girl so afraid?
mdp.39015063942851	Why were they so quiet?
mdp.39015063942851	Why, then, had she left the store?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?
mdp.39015063942851	Why?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why?"
mdp.39015063942851	Why?"
mdp.39015063942851	Wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Would he save me?
mdp.39015063942851	Would he shoot at the man?
mdp.39015063942851	Would the amount of jewelry, silver, etc., stolen pro- vide a sufficient motive?
mdp.39015063942851	You have some imagina- tion, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063942851	You were in Mrs. Briggs'office this morning, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063942851	Your eyes all right?"
mdp.39015063942851	t'"Was Mrs. Briggs alone?"
mdp.39015063942851	»"Is any one watching her?"
mdp.39015063956596	A hoax, was it?
mdp.39015063956596	About what size was the attache case?
mdp.39015063956596	After the train left, what did you do?
mdp.39015063956596	Ah, indeed?
mdp.39015063956596	Ah? mdp.39015063956596 An old friend of yours who took you into his confidence beforehand, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063956596	And I suppose I'd better keep a lookout for any- thing else that Wilkes has been pawning, when I'm at it?
mdp.39015063956596	And I suppose you've got some- thing further?
mdp.39015063956596	And Mrs. Preston had breakfast in her own room, which was her usual custom?
mdp.39015063956596	And after cashing that cheque he left the Bank?
mdp.39015063956596	And now what about this Doctor Selby- Onslow?
mdp.39015063956596	And now you see why I said it was a put- up job, all thought out beforehand? mdp.39015063956596 And now,"said Ross,"what about this optician?
mdp.39015063956596	And she told you about the message the maid had given her?
mdp.39015063956596	And she told you about the message the maid had given her?
mdp.39015063956596	And that's all you're charging me with?
mdp.39015063956596	And what about the pistol? mdp.39015063956596 And what about the pistol?
mdp.39015063956596	And what happened after that?
mdp.39015063956596	And what then?
mdp.39015063956596	And when did this happen?
mdp.39015063956596	And you wo n't forget any of these points, will you? mdp.39015063956596 And you yourself were late in coming down, be- cause you had been at a dance the night before?
mdp.39015063956596	And your inferences?
mdp.39015063956596	Anything else?
mdp.39015063956596	Anything to report about that car stolen from Iverson?
mdp.39015063956596	Are my private affairs really essential?
mdp.39015063956596	Are there any more of them about?
mdp.39015063956596	Are there any more of them about?
mdp.39015063956596	Are there any more of them about?
mdp.39015063956596	Away from town, you mean? mdp.39015063956596 Away from town, you mean?
mdp.39015063956596	But where?
mdp.39015063956596	But where?
mdp.39015063956596	Can you give me some writing paper?
mdp.39015063956596	Can you give me the name of his lawyer?
mdp.39015063956596	Crowded?
mdp.39015063956596	Did I? mdp.39015063956596 Did Tar- land see any one in the neighbourhood when he went down to the ram first of all?
mdp.39015063956596	Did he wear glasses?
mdp.39015063956596	Did n't he drive into business?
mdp.39015063956596	Did n't you learn then that Mr. Preston had been murdered?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you ever consider suicide as a possibility in the case?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you hear a shot as you came up?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you hear a shot as you came up?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you inquire at Seven Sisters station if any one remembered Wilkes and Lawson getting aboard the 10.35?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you know about that call?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you see any initials on the outside?
mdp.39015063956596	Did you see any one you knew on the platform or on the train, by any chance?
mdp.39015063956596	Do you always get these bags back?
mdp.39015063956596	Do you mind if we go into your study? mdp.39015063956596 Do you mind ringing for her?"
mdp.39015063956596	Do you suppose any one knew that he carried such a sum? mdp.39015063956596 Do you want to see her alone?"
mdp.39015063956596	Doctor Selby- Onslow's got a good practice, I be- lieve?
mdp.39015063956596	Doctor Selby- Onslow? mdp.39015063956596 Five minutes to shoot a man several times and then stuff his body under the seat?
mdp.39015063956596	Found any o'that romance o'yours, this time?
mdp.39015063956596	Glasses? mdp.39015063956596 Had he got into the same carriage as Mr. Pres- ton?"
mdp.39015063956596	Had n't you better get that from Doctor Selby- Onslow himself?
mdp.39015063956596	Had n't you better get that from Doctor Selby- Onslow himself?
mdp.39015063956596	Had you any conversation with him during the transaction?
mdp.39015063956596	Has he any idea of what time it was then?
mdp.39015063956596	Have n't you made any inquiries?
mdp.39015063956596	He was writing letters when you came back to show him in? mdp.39015063956596 How could I?
mdp.39015063956596	How did it happen? mdp.39015063956596 How did it happen?"
mdp.39015063956596	How did that information concern you?
mdp.39015063956596	How did that information concern you?
mdp.39015063956596	How did you come to think of us?
mdp.39015063956596	How did you hear about it?
mdp.39015063956596	How did you hear about it?
mdp.39015063956596	How do I know?
mdp.39015063956596	How do I know?
mdp.39015063956596	How do I know?
mdp.39015063956596	How do you expect me to remember, after all this time?
mdp.39015063956596	How far ahead could you see? mdp.39015063956596 How far was this clump of evergreens from the rails, as near as you can guess?"
mdp.39015063956596	How far?
mdp.39015063956596	How should I know?
mdp.39015063956596	How thick was the mist?
mdp.39015063956596	I believe that about the middle of November Mr. Iverson, the lawyer, paid you a visit?
mdp.39015063956596	I suppose there was no doubt that Preston really meant business in this affair? mdp.39015063956596 I suppose you did n't notice whether there was any one else at the counter when Mr. Preston pre- sented his cheque?"
mdp.39015063956596	I suppose you wo n't mind doing that? mdp.39015063956596 I think it would save time if I told you what took me to the station?
mdp.39015063956596	I think you attended to Mr. Oswald Preston when he came in to cash a cheque yesterday morning? mdp.39015063956596 I'd bet- ter do that first?"
mdp.39015063956596	Indeed? mdp.39015063956596 Is Mr. Iverson in?"
mdp.39015063956596	Is Mrs. Preston in? mdp.39015063956596 Is it?"
mdp.39015063956596	Is there?
mdp.39015063956596	Is your car fast?
mdp.39015063956596	It does n't look like an accident, then, does it?
mdp.39015063956596	It need n't go any further, of course; just between you and me, eh? mdp.39015063956596 It was mine, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956596	Iverson again?
mdp.39015063956596	Left you a legacy?
mdp.39015063956596	Make any- thing of it?
mdp.39015063956596	Make any- thing of it?
mdp.39015063956596	Make any- thing of it?
mdp.39015063956596	Mind that bit o'glass on the floor, will you? mdp.39015063956596 Mind that bit o'glass on the floor, will you?
mdp.39015063956596	Mr. Iverson at home? ” he demanded, when the maid opened the door. mdp.39015063956596 Mrs. Preston told you what his message was?
mdp.39015063956596	Mrs. Preston told you what his message was? mdp.39015063956596 Mrs. Preston?
mdp.39015063956596	Neither?
mdp.39015063956596	No finger prints on the envelope, or anything of that sort?
mdp.39015063956596	No? mdp.39015063956596 Not a shotgun then?
mdp.39015063956596	Not in yet? ” he said, on getting from the clerk the negative answer which he expected. mdp.39015063956596 Now, since you're here, what about this car of mine?
mdp.39015063956596	Now, what about an optician's shop? mdp.39015063956596 Now, what do you think of that evidence of his?
mdp.39015063956596	Oh, indeed?
mdp.39015063956596	Oh, the criminology stuff?
mdp.39015063956596	Oh, typewriting?
mdp.39015063956596	Oh, women? mdp.39015063956596 One's as likely as the other, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956596	Perhaps Iverson's get- away?
mdp.39015063956596	Perhaps you did not quite see eye to eye with Mr. Preston about the amount you were allowed? mdp.39015063956596 Perhaps your nurse who opens the door to patients might know?"
mdp.39015063956596	Pretty things, are n't they? mdp.39015063956596 Pretty things, are n't they?
mdp.39015063956596	See any motors on the road?
mdp.39015063956596	So Selby- Onslow was off on a wild- goose chase that morning when I saw him at the station?
mdp.39015063956596	So he was making out a case against me, was he?
mdp.39015063956596	So he was making out a case against me, was he?
mdp.39015063956596	So you shook hands and parted on the best of terms?
mdp.39015063956596	So you went straight down to the station in your own car, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956596	Stone cold?
mdp.39015063956596	Such as?
mdp.39015063956596	Suppose we postpone lunch for a while?
mdp.39015063956596	Suppose we postpone lunch for a while?
mdp.39015063956596	That burnt paper in the carriage put you on to it?
mdp.39015063956596	The Judges'Rules, eh? mdp.39015063956596 The constable here can give me a hand if I need it, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956596	The constable here can give me a hand if I need it, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956596	The day before the murder or earlier?
mdp.39015063956596	The fifteenth of November?
mdp.39015063956596	The notepaper?
mdp.39015063956596	The pistol?
mdp.39015063956596	The pistol?
mdp.39015063956596	The ram's insured, of course?
mdp.39015063956596	Then he would have had this money with him to- day?
mdp.39015063956596	Then perhaps you could recall the last time he came here?
mdp.39015063956596	Then perhaps you could tell me?
mdp.39015063956596	Then they may get into the hands of people who are not clients of yours? mdp.39015063956596 There was no one with him in his compartment when you saw him, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956596	These things did n't strike you as curious?
mdp.39015063956596	Thieves?
mdp.39015063956596	Things here are much the same as they were that day, I suppose? mdp.39015063956596 This is Friday, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956596	This is the Preston murder case, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956596	Time we were moving along, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956596	Two pistols of different calibre — does that mean two murderers or was it one man with two pistols?
mdp.39015063956596	Want to catch the 1.22 back to Horston?
mdp.39015063956596	Want to catch the 1.22 back to Horston?
mdp.39015063956596	Was he carrying anything — an attache case or anything of that sort?
mdp.39015063956596	Was it this week? mdp.39015063956596 Was it?"
mdp.39015063956596	Was the 10:35 crowded this morning?
mdp.39015063956596	We must have every de- tail checked as far as possible, you understand? mdp.39015063956596 Well, had n't you made up your mind to charge him, as soon as he confessed he'd taken the money from the attache case?"
mdp.39015063956596	Well, it's a free country, is n't it? mdp.39015063956596 Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015063956596	Well, what if they did? mdp.39015063956596 Well?"
mdp.39015063956596	What about that prize ram of Chepstow's — the Il8 THE TWO TICKET PUZZLE one that got shot? mdp.39015063956596 What about the notes?"
mdp.39015063956596	What about the three so- called empty compart- ments?
mdp.39015063956596	What advantage would it have been to any one if I had come forward? mdp.39015063956596 What day of the week was it?"
mdp.39015063956596	What did Mrs. Preston tell you about the message?
mdp.39015063956596	What did Mrs. Preston tell you about the message?
mdp.39015063956596	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063956596	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063956596	What do you suppose I've been bothering over that ram for? mdp.39015063956596 What do you think?"
mdp.39015063956596	What does it matter how I went to the station?
mdp.39015063956596	What else do you know about him?
mdp.39015063956596	What else do you know about him?
mdp.39015063956596	What else do you know about him?
mdp.39015063956596	What else do you know about him?
mdp.39015063956596	What grounds have you for being so positive about them, while you ca n't be sure about compartment A?
mdp.39015063956596	What happened next?
mdp.39015063956596	What happened?
mdp.39015063956596	What shops did you visit?
mdp.39015063956596	What sort of sight would a person have who needed a glass of this sort?
mdp.39015063956596	What time was it then?
mdp.39015063956596	What train's this? mdp.39015063956596 What train's this?
mdp.39015063956596	What was that, if one may ask?
mdp.39015063956596	What was the value of the cheque, do you re- member?
mdp.39015063956596	What would any man want to burn a bit of newspaper for? mdp.39015063956596 What would have been Doctor Selby- Onslow's position, if Preston had won his case?"
mdp.39015063956596	What's this about an accident to one of my clients?
mdp.39015063956596	When Mr. Preston left the house this morning, was he carrying anything — an umbrella, or a bag, or an attache case, anything of that sort?
mdp.39015063956596	When are you like to talk with crowds, George, I ask you? mdp.39015063956596 When did you first hear about this projected divorce suit?"
mdp.39015063956596	When did you leave the house?
mdp.39015063956596	When did you leave the house?
mdp.39015063956596	Where do you carry your matches?
mdp.39015063956596	Which entrance did you go in by?
mdp.39015063956596	Which would you say was nearest the tint? ” he asked. mdp.39015063956596 Who told you that?"
mdp.39015063956596	Who's telling you fairy stories? mdp.39015063956596 Who's the victim?"
mdp.39015063956596	Would you mind ringing up Mornington now and telling him to meet me on the platform at the terminus when my train gets in? mdp.39015063956596 Yes?"
mdp.39015063956596	You and Doctor Selby- Onslow alone together?
mdp.39015063956596	You and Doctor Selby- Onslow alone together?
mdp.39015063956596	You came back to Horston by train?
mdp.39015063956596	You did n't notice the car's number?
mdp.39015063956596	You did n't see him get into the train, did you?
mdp.39015063956596	You did n't see the number?
mdp.39015063956596	You did n't see the number?
mdp.39015063956596	You do n't mind my taking notes of this?
mdp.39015063956596	You got on to the platform with a platform ticket?
mdp.39015063956596	You guessed something of this sort?
mdp.39015063956596	You keep a case book, I suppose, Doctor? mdp.39015063956596 You mean a man might have bought a third- class ticket and swopped it for the first- class ticket of another passenger?"
mdp.39015063956596	You might let me see where it is, will you?
mdp.39015063956596	You ran the Judges'Rules pretty fine, did n't you?
mdp.39015063956596	You saw the attache case close at hand?
mdp.39015063956596	You say you found no pistol in the attache case? mdp.39015063956596 You want to make a statement?"
mdp.39015063956596	You were a passenger on the 10.35 tram that morning, I believe, Doctor?
mdp.39015063956596	You were coming along towards town? mdp.39015063956596 You were coming along towards town?
mdp.39015063956596	You'd taken a return ticket to Morpledene, had n't you?
mdp.39015063956596	You're not going to lose financially over it, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956596	You're supposing that the murderer may have been next door at the start and got along the foot- board while the train was in motion?
mdp.39015063956596	You're the man that hanged that scoundrel Hyndford, are n't you? mdp.39015063956596 You've charged him with stealing this car?"
mdp.39015063956596	Your car?
mdp.39015063956596	'Making sure,'and all that sort of thing, you know?
mdp.39015063956596	'Might be my turn next,'they say, and whose fault's that?
mdp.39015063956596	'Ow does it go?
mdp.39015063956596	'Romance brought up the nine- fifteen'did'e?
mdp.39015063956596	'Why not cop the lot?'
mdp.39015063956596	222 THE TWO TICKET PUZZLE"Well, what do you want now?"
mdp.39015063956596	43 THE TWO TICKET PUZZLE"Meaning brains, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956596	62 THE TWO TICKET PUZZLE"Dead?"
mdp.39015063956596	A single bullet, eh?"
mdp.39015063956596	About what time was that, can you remember?"
mdp.39015063956596	About what time was that?"
mdp.39015063956596	About what time was that?"
mdp.39015063956596	Afraid of what?
mdp.39015063956596	After a few seconds he demanded again:"What do you want?"
mdp.39015063956596	After all, he reflected, what did twenty minutes matter?
mdp.39015063956596	An'then he winks, and says he,'What about a bit of a joy- ride up the road?'
mdp.39015063956596	An'then he winks, and says he,'What about a bit of a joy- ride up the road?'
mdp.39015063956596	And at that time you were living — you and your wife — with a relation of yours at Morpledene?
mdp.39015063956596	And then, be- sides, no matter how well I hid it, somebody else might stumble on the attache case; and where would I have been then?
mdp.39015063956596	And then, be- sides, no matter how well I hid it, somebody else might stumble on the attache case; and where would I have been then?
mdp.39015063956596	And there's no evening paper in this place?
mdp.39015063956596	Any one might have laid plans to secure the money, since they would know every move before- hand?"
mdp.39015063956596	Any one of these would account for Doctor Selby- Onslow preferring to take the train, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063956596	Anything in the pockets of the waistcoat or the trousers?"
mdp.39015063956596	Besides, you checked all the ticket surrenders at Hammersleigh yourself, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063956596	But I could n't swear to all that. ”"Like the ones I'm wearing at this moment? ” The doctor shook his head decidedly.
mdp.39015063956596	But I'd been counting on that ram, you understand?
mdp.39015063956596	But if you look down your nose just the right way, you can say a lot without opening your mouth, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063956596	But what d'you make of the second bit of paper — the edge of the sheet of note- paper?
mdp.39015063956596	But what's that got to do with you?"
mdp.39015063956596	By the way, have you found out about the bank people and the employes at the factory, for me?"
mdp.39015063956596	By the way, what's the name of the man who found the body?"
mdp.39015063956596	By the way, what's the name of the man who found the body?"
mdp.39015063956596	CHAPTER XVII: THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE"So you saw Iverson before they hanged him, I heard?"
mdp.39015063956596	Ca n't you tell me something about him, anything you think might be of use to us?"
mdp.39015063956596	Can you remember anything further about this £ 133- 9- 6?"
mdp.39015063956596	Could any one have shot the ram and got away without being spotted?"

mdp.39076002745904	“ Anyway, what do you hope to discover in an old barn? ” “ Maybe I can induce the horse to talk, ” Penny chuckled.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Are we ex- pected to capture Clem Davis with our bare hands and turn him over to the authorities? ” “ Nothing quite so startling.
mdp.39076002745904	“ As things are, I do n’t see how it could be worked out. ” “ Wo n’t you keep thinking about_ it? ” Adelle pleaded.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Besides, did n’t the sheriff uncover proof that Clem Davis is a member of the organization? ” “ That ’s what he says.
mdp.39076002745904	“ But how are we to find him? ” “ I do n’t know, ” Penny admitted.

mdp.39076002745904	“ Dad, if the fire was set only a few minutes ago, does n’t that support my theory? ” “ Which theory?

mdp.39076002745904	“ Ever hear of any night riders in this community? ” Mr. Parker asked after a moment, his tone casual.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Everything on one, and everything but, on the other. ” “ No onions for the little lady? ” the waiter grinned.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Has a big story broken, Dad? ” “ Another storage barn was burned to the ground about ten minutes ago.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Has it never occurred to you that Charley Phelps may be connected with the Hoods? ” “ Never, ” replied Mr. Parker.

mdp.39076002745904	“ Hear anything? ” “ Not a sound. ” “ Queer that all three of them could disappear so quickly, ” the editor muttered.
mdp.39076002745904	“ How about drowning your troubles in a little sleep? ” “ It is late, ” Mr. Parker admitted, glancing at his watch.
mdp.39076002745904	“ How about it? ” “ Oh, let's keep on a little farther, ” Penny pleaded.
mdp.39076002745904	“ How about the crated melons? ” Penny asked, breathing hard from the strenuous exertion.
mdp.39076002745904	“ How about the lights? ” Salt Sommers asked.
mdp.39076002745904	“ How could he run away? ” “ Because he feared the consequences, ” Miss Ander- son answered.
mdp.39076002745904	“ How did the accident occur? ” “ We do n't know exactly, for Adelle was the only witness.

mdp.39076002745904	“ I thought Mr. Phelps was going to throw the tower at you! ” “ How could I know he was so touchy? ” Penny asked in a grieved tone.
mdp.39076002745904	“ I ’d give a hundred dollars to be rid of that pest. ” “ You really mean it? ” Penny demanded with inter- CSC.
mdp.39076002745904	“ I ’ll look around, and then have a talk with Davis. ” “ Mind if we accompany you? ” inquired Mr. Parker.
mdp.39076002745904	“ I ’m a bachelor. ” “ Would n't you like a little girl? ” Adelle persisted.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Is Dad buying property? ” “ Oh, no, ” the secretary replied, glancing up from her typewriter.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Is n't it possible that someone could have tried to throw the blame on Clem? ” suggested Penny, anx- iously awaiting her father's reply.
mdp.39076002745904	“ It will have to go on according to schedule. ” “ Afterwards you ’ll ask for Blake ’s arrest?
mdp.39076002745904	“ It ’s located deep in the swamp, just off a side road. ” “ Would it require long to get there? ” Penny asked thoughtfully.
mdp.39076002745904	“ It's sort of like making a gelatin pud- ding, is n't it? ”- “ Jake and me never thought of it that way, ” the old man replied.
mdp.39076002745904	“ I’.ve never met Mr. Bowman. ” “ Yet you act as his agent? ” Mr. Parker inquired in astonishment.
mdp.39076002745904	“ John never said much about it to me. ” “ Are you afraid to tell what you know? ” Mr. Parker asked abruptly.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Know anything about the man? ” “ I think I may.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Miss Anderson, is n’t there something I can do to make amends? ” he asked earnestly.

mdp.39076002745904	“ Nice looking place, is n't it? ” The car had pulled up near a small, neatly- kept cottage framed in well- trimmed greenery.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Now what do you want to know? ” he asked gruffly.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Now what is the meaning of this? ” the Master de- manded, facing the group.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Now what seems to be the trouble? ” “ Perhaps I should n't have bothered you, ” the editor apologized.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Now what? ” he mumbled drowsily.
mdp.39076002745904	“ One of those six boys?
mdp.39076002745904	“ Or are you spoofing your old Dad? ” “ Oh, I'm not, ” Penny maintained.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Or would you say three? ” “ There ’s no argument about it this time, Dad.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Penny, how would you like to write the story? ” inquired her father.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Say, where are you taking me anyway? ” Louise demanded suspiciously.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Shall I make it out for a hundred and fifty dollars? ” “ That's a very handsome donation, ” said Mr. Parker, unable to hide his surprise.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Shall I put it in a sack for you? ” “ I'm not interested in the melon — only in the stamp, ” Penny replied.
mdp.39076002745904	“ So what? ” “ You ’re the man who has been sending me collect messages for the past three months! ” Mr. Parker ac- cused.

mdp.39076002745904	“ The stores here never have anything I want. ” “ Then why not go to Claymore? ” Penny proposed suddenly.

mdp.39076002745904	“ This night letter is to be sent to Anthony Parker? ” she inquired.
mdp.39076002745904	“ Want to look? ” she invited.

mdp.39076002745904	“ What has happened? ” As the man bent over Adelle, the little girl opened her eyes, gazing directly into his face.
mdp.39076002745904	“ What is it? ” Louise inquired with interest.
mdp.39076002745904	“ What is strange? ” Mr. Parker asked gruffly.

mdp.39015063955671	Did Mr. Lepean come down here three weeks ago in connection with the sale of the stamp?
mdp.39015063955671	Did anything irregular or unusual happen during the night to take you away from the guard room except when you were relieving the sentry?
mdp.39015063955671	Did he drink it before you went away?
mdp.39015063955671	Did n't anyone turn on the light?
mdp.39015063955671	Did she have any hangers- on?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you enter the room when the door was forced?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you go down to your ancestral home this week- end, Skipper?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you hear Lepean answer to Wape?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you hear the key of Lepean's room being turned?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you notice anyone else try the handle?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you notice if Lepean had a whisky and soda by his bed?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you see the body?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you tell your father?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you want, sir, for to view the scene of the crime?
mdp.39015063955671	Do I grab?
mdp.39015063955671	Do n't you remember the club was burned down about a year ago? mdp.39015063955671 Do other men make love to you pleasantly, Prun- ella?"
mdp.39015063955671	Do you always lock your room?
mdp.39015063955671	Do you insure that all your visitors sign the book?
mdp.39015063955671	Do you know if Captain Wape is in?
mdp.39015063955671	Do you know if Sylvia Wape is at home now?
mdp.39015063955671	Do you know,he asked,"a certain Major Preece?"
mdp.39015063955671	Do you think the murderer had a knowledge of anatomy?
mdp.39015063955671	Do you want me to stay, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063955671	Does anything odd strike you about that, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063955671	Doin''is bloke in down't seem to'ave improved Maison's temper, do it?
mdp.39015063955671	Down't tork silly,he muttered angrily;"was n't we all there w'en the door was burst open and the bloke a stiff'un on'is bed?"
mdp.39015063955671	Duplicate attestations?
mdp.39015063955671	Esmeralda?
mdp.39015063955671	Ethel? mdp.39015063955671 First of all, how did the murderer get into the room, let alone get out?"
mdp.39015063955671	Gentleman ranker, so to siy, eih?
mdp.39015063955671	Good man?
mdp.39015063955671	Had he any vallyble jooley, or a large sum of money, in his room?
mdp.39015063955671	Had not Private Mason his boots on?
mdp.39015063955671	Half- past four? mdp.39015063955671 Has Stevens returned yet?"
mdp.39015063955671	Has he asked you yet?
mdp.39015063955671	Have you been promiscuous lately?
mdp.39015063955671	Have you examined the body?
mdp.39015063955671	Have you seen the morning papers?
mdp.39015063955671	He questioned you — about me?
mdp.39015063955671	He was attached to the lieutenant?
mdp.39015063955671	He'll have to be tried, of course?
mdp.39015063955671	He's never stayed here?
mdp.39015063955671	How can they be?
mdp.39015063955671	How could a person get into and subsequently out of a locked room?
mdp.39015063955671	How did he take it?
mdp.39015063955671	How did you know that? mdp.39015063955671 How did your nephew come to leave you?"
mdp.39015063955671	How do you imagine the wound was inflicted?
mdp.39015063955671	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063955671	How does he think I can do that?
mdp.39015063955671	How long are you away posting the new sentry?
mdp.39015063955671	How many men on guard?
mdp.39015063955671	How much would that be, Doctor?
mdp.39015063955671	How the deuce to meet her?
mdp.39015063955671	How the devil did you teach him to put on the right record?
mdp.39015063955671	How's your guv'nor?
mdp.39015063955671	How?
mdp.39015063955671	Hugh, did you — murder him?
mdp.39015063955671	Hugh,she had replied, touching his hand,"do you mean — give myself to you?"
mdp.39015063955671	HulloalHer husband's voice, transmitted to a thin, metallic whine, replied:"Is that you, Claire?
mdp.39015063955671	I mean,the inspector amended,"he appeared to know already what you have just told me?"
mdp.39015063955671	I see,Mallinson said thoughtfully,"then on Wednesday morning, I suppose, or earlier, you read of Lepean's murder in the newspapers?"
mdp.39015063955671	I suppose,he continued thoughtfully, dropping his voice a little,"ole Maison could n't'a'done the bloke in?
mdp.39015063955671	I understand, sir, you discovered the deceased?
mdp.39015063955671	I was going to ask,he continued,"who last saw Lieutenant Lepean alive?"
mdp.39015063955671	I wonder,he mused,"if I made a mistake there?
mdp.39015063955671	In fact, you behaved like a perfect little fool, did n't you? mdp.39015063955671 Is Lady Ronan at home to- day?"
mdp.39015063955671	Is it wise?
mdp.39015063955671	Is my husband suspected of having murdered Mr. Le- pean?
mdp.39015063955671	Is that all you want to ask me?
mdp.39015063955671	Is your memsahib away while you're up here, Major?
mdp.39015063955671	It begins with'E?
mdp.39015063955671	It's all true, I suppose,she demanded,"her son is — yours?"
mdp.39015063955671	Just to put you off and to be spiteful, I suppose?
mdp.39015063955671	Let me see: this room next door to Lepean's is Captain Wape's? mdp.39015063955671 Major, would you come in a moment?"
mdp.39015063955671	May I ask how you knew Mr. Lepean had this stamp? mdp.39015063955671 May I see them?"
mdp.39015063955671	Mr. Mc- Master?
mdp.39015063955671	Muvver's ruin, eh? mdp.39015063955671 Nice little chaps, those Scotties,"he remarked,"but they do n't like strangers, do they?"
mdp.39015063955671	No light, though?
mdp.39015063955671	No one can go through that door and up the stairs to the officers'quarters without passing through the guard room?
mdp.39015063955671	No one come out of this room, Evans?
mdp.39015063955671	No, no poker, I think,he observed quietly,"but what about a rubber?
mdp.39015063955671	No?
mdp.39015063955671	Not disturbed the position in which it was found, I'ope?
mdp.39015063955671	On'y just four of us, yer see? mdp.39015063955671 Really?
mdp.39015063955671	Ripley,she inquired,"where has Master John been this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063955671	Sister? mdp.39015063955671 So there would always be yourself and the two men, not actually on sentry, in the guard room all night?"
mdp.39015063955671	Surely there would be a record in the club books?
mdp.39015063955671	Swear?
mdp.39015063955671	Tell me, did Lepean collect anything?
mdp.39015063955671	That letter you wrote to Lepean on Monday — what did you say in it?
mdp.39015063955671	That window there is Lepean's, next Captain Wape's, then Harris's, and then the Major's?
mdp.39015063955671	The fellow's a genuine satyr, I believe,he thought,"and where the devil have I seen him be- fore?"
mdp.39015063955671	Then he said good- night?
mdp.39015063955671	Then the deceased's servant?
mdp.39015063955671	Think so? mdp.39015063955671 This Medbury Fort?"
mdp.39015063955671	This interview, then, was merely in connection with the proposed sale?
mdp.39015063955671	To what are we indebted for the pleasure?
mdp.39015063955671	Was Mr. Lepean good- looking? mdp.39015063955671 Was Sir Tremayne at home at the time?"
mdp.39015063955671	Was the light switched on when the room was first entered, d'you know, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063955671	Watch her reactions, eh? mdp.39015063955671 What about Mason?"
mdp.39015063955671	What are you going to do, Claire?
mdp.39015063955671	What are you looking for, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063955671	What can I do for you?
mdp.39015063955671	What can I do for you?
mdp.39015063955671	What did Mr. Lepean come here for?
mdp.39015063955671	What did you see, Hugh?
mdp.39015063955671	What did you talk about?
mdp.39015063955671	What do you think it is, sir?
mdp.39015063955671	What happened then?
mdp.39015063955671	What is it?
mdp.39015063955671	What kind of weapon would have to be used to make that wound?
mdp.39015063955671	What time did the death occur?
mdp.39015063955671	What time was it when you made your — bur- glarious entry into the room?
mdp.39015063955671	What time,pursued the inspector,"did the mess servants leave last night?"
mdp.39015063955671	What was the punishment for?
mdp.39015063955671	What's he say?
mdp.39015063955671	What's the trouble?
mdp.39015063955671	When I went out into the passage"Time?
mdp.39015063955671	When and how did you meet him?
mdp.39015063955671	When are you going, darling?
mdp.39015063955671	When did he come in?
mdp.39015063955671	Where did you stay on the night of the 29th Sep- tember, 1924?
mdp.39015063955671	Where is Inspector Paton?
mdp.39015063955671	Who is it?
mdp.39015063955671	Why does n't Chisholme speak their lingo?
mdp.39015063955671	Why famous?
mdp.39015063955671	Why?
mdp.39015063955671	Why?
mdp.39015063955671	Will I read you the deposition, sir?
mdp.39015063955671	Wo n't you come in for a few minutes?
mdp.39015063955671	Wo n't you sit down, Mrs. Preece? mdp.39015063955671 Wot,"Mr. Mason posed a question dramatically,"is the root of all evil?"
mdp.39015063955671	Would n't you — ever?
mdp.39015063955671	Would you let me have your description of the bursting of the door and so forth?
mdp.39015063955671	Yes, of course, de mortuis and all that; but Le- pean was n't exactly, you know"So I gather; not very popular with his men or his brother officers?
mdp.39015063955671	Yes, why? mdp.39015063955671 Yes,'e did, sir, but'e seemed sort of pleased that me and my cousin could sort of""Confirm the facts?"
mdp.39015063955671	Yes?
mdp.39015063955671	Yes?
mdp.39015063955671	You ai n't no clergyman's son, then?
mdp.39015063955671	You ca n't bear it?
mdp.39015063955671	You have got the dregs for analysis?
mdp.39015063955671	You mean, if the police find out about us, and that he was trying to blackmail me, they will think that you — took measures to silence him?
mdp.39015063955671	You possibly read, Lady Ronan, of the murder of Lieutenant Lepean at Medbury Fort?
mdp.39015063955671	You saw a — gentleman( this afternoon in the Park?
mdp.39015063955671	You take the point, Major?
mdp.39015063955671	You think I'll find him at the station, then?
mdp.39015063955671	You think?
mdp.39015063955671	You were the last person to see him alive?
mdp.39015063955671	You would recognize her again?
mdp.39015063955671	You're smiling — why?
mdp.39015063955671	You've only just come here, sir?
mdp.39015063955671	You've seen my report?
mdp.39015063955671	'Even butchers weep?'
mdp.39015063955671	'Noa,'I sez,'bain't ther'no train avore the next one on this line?'
mdp.39015063955671	'Ow'd yer know that, Swanny?"
mdp.39015063955671	'Ulloa,'Arry,'I sez,'wot's that you got in your'and?'
mdp.39015063955671	'Wen be the next train to Lunnon, porter?'
mdp.39015063955671	******"No bridge to- night, Doctor, unless you'd like a game of cutthroat?
mdp.39015063955671	******"What's the matter, Hugh?"
mdp.39015063955671	102 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER"You've informed Scotland Yard, then?"
mdp.39015063955671	160 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER"And Mr. Lepean appeared to be aware of this unexplained hiatus in Lady Ronan's movements on the date in question?"
mdp.39015063955671	166 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER"A rare stamp?"
mdp.39015063955671	228 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER will give me the one link I require in forging the chain of evidence against her brother?
mdp.39015063955671	34 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER"How long will they be away?"
mdp.39015063955671	A LADY IS ALARMED( WEDNESDAY) 149"Do you think this detective — Paton — will inter- rogate me?"
mdp.39015063955671	A WEST AFRICAN INTERLUDE 43 Would he ever gaze across that tangled mass of bush and forest again?
mdp.39015063955671	A mouse?
mdp.39015063955671	A person might stay a night and not sign at all?"
mdp.39015063955671	Again, would any jury convict?
mdp.39015063955671	Agreed to anything he chose to suggest, would n't you?
mdp.39015063955671	Ai n't I'ad enuff of them blarsted Nosy- Parkers jawrin'at me?"
mdp.39015063955671	Aloud, he asked:"No views, sir, as to'oo could've done it, or how?"
mdp.39015063955671	And now, what persuasions did the other — gentleman employ to whom you told this ridiculous story?
mdp.39015063955671	And you really believe her ladyship meant to kill you?"
mdp.39015063955671	Any of that Perrier Jouet left?"
mdp.39015063955671	Any — er — clues?"
mdp.39015063955671	Anything more?"
mdp.39015063955671	Anything wrong?
mdp.39015063955671	Are you fond of him?"
mdp.39015063955671	Bit of a yumorist, ai n't yer?
mdp.39015063955671	Bridges?"
mdp.39015063955671	But still, how can the police get on to the track of Nancy?"
mdp.39015063955671	But what am I to do?
mdp.39015063955671	But what of a motive?"
mdp.39015063955671	But where, oh where,"he continued, gazing at the corporal with a frenzied look,"is my ship to- night?
mdp.39015063955671	But you would not be so crude, Major, would you?
mdp.39015063955671	Ca n't you prove you are innocent of the mur- der?
mdp.39015063955671	Ca n't you see I want to know the lady?"
mdp.39015063955671	Can I get you tea, sir?
mdp.39015063955671	Can I see Mr. Har- ris?"
mdp.39015063955671	Can you under- stand that?"
mdp.39015063955671	Claire's voice interrupted his musings:"What are you going to do when I take the children to visit Mother?"
mdp.39015063955671	Could Claire understand?
mdp.39015063955671	Could any woman understand?
mdp.39015063955671	Could it be true?
mdp.39015063955671	Could n't I stop of for a few hours at Bath?
mdp.39015063955671	Could she have concocted the whole yarn out of her head?
mdp.39015063955671	Cur- rent's off; but who turned the switch on and left it on?
mdp.39015063955671	Did he call on anybody in the neighbourhood?"
mdp.39015063955671	Did he threaten you?
mdp.39015063955671	Did you get anything, Stevens?"
mdp.39015063955671	Did you look?"
mdp.39015063955671	Do n't suppose you know the place, Major?"
mdp.39015063955671	Do n't you remember?
mdp.39015063955671	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015063955671	Do you think you could give me some- thing to make me sleep?
mdp.39015063955671	Dropped by the mur- derer in his hasty flight from the scene of his crime?
mdp.39015063955671	During the walk Paton ventured a remark:"It's the batman, Mason — the ex- butcher?"
mdp.39015063955671	Early, ai n't yer?"
mdp.39015063955671	Emily — Baxter, was n't it?
mdp.39015063955671	Emily?"
mdp.39015063955671	Even if Lepean had recognized him, what did it signify?
mdp.39015063955671	First, what's your name?"
mdp.39015063955671	From what source had he got that fact?
mdp.39015063955671	Get busy, old boy, will you?
mdp.39015063955671	Had Lepean got Wape in his toils, too?
mdp.39015063955671	Had Wape suspected anything?
mdp.39015063955671	Had breakfast?
mdp.39015063955671	Had he missed anything?
mdp.39015063955671	Had it, he wondered, come off?
mdp.39015063955671	Had she conducted the conversation wisely?
mdp.39015063955671	Had she known of it?
mdp.39015063955671	Had she told him anything?
mdp.39015063955671	Hal What was that?
mdp.39015063955671	Have I a temperature?"
mdp.39015063955671	He blushed, and aloud asked:"Detec- tive Inspector Paton?"
mdp.39015063955671	He caught a whisper:"Is it all — safe, Hugh?
mdp.39015063955671	He had been in love with Prunella, had n't he?
mdp.39015063955671	He just frightened you out of your wits and you'd have told him anything, would n't you?
mdp.39015063955671	He turned to the subaltern and inquired care- lessly,"Do you happen to know if Captain Wape ever served in West Africa?"
mdp.39015063955671	He would bet anything it had been that fellow Ronan and he was arranging for a bouquet, was he?
mdp.39015063955671	How could he?
mdp.39015063955671	How could it be tested?
mdp.39015063955671	How dare you discuss me with your lovers?
mdp.39015063955671	How did Preece come to have such a curious instrument in his possession?
mdp.39015063955671	How did Preece do it?
mdp.39015063955671	How did he get in?
mdp.39015063955671	How did the murderer get into the locked room?
mdp.39015063955671	How did the various — what shall we say?—'suspects,'strike you?"
mdp.39015063955671	How do you know?"
mdp.39015063955671	How much did he really know?
mdp.39015063955671	How the devil, he won- dered, came a girl like this, obviously superior in education and birth, to take up with the coarse, full- blooded Mason?
mdp.39015063955671	How, he wondered, had she managed to procure the evidence which knit the case against Wape together?
mdp.39015063955671	I am right in assuming,"he added,"that your husband is Major Hugh Preece?"
mdp.39015063955671	I did n't tell you that I sent Mallin- son down there yesterday afternoon?
mdp.39015063955671	I ex- pect you are getting quite tired of us?"
mdp.39015063955671	I suppose you posted a man at once?"
mdp.39015063955671	I was wondering why you take your case of instruments about with you?"
mdp.39015063955671	I wondered if you noticed the charred re- mains when you examined my room?"
mdp.39015063955671	I'll take your advice and consult Sir let me see, what was the name?"
mdp.39015063955671	I'm much obliged,"McMaster rose to go, when the surgeon con- tinued:"You understand that is'opinion'?
mdp.39015063955671	I'ope, m'lady,"he pur- sued,"this Mr. Lepean was no relation?"
mdp.39015063955671	If he was in the room all night, how did he manage that?"
mdp.39015063955671	If the patient kicks the bucket you call it'benign,'and if he gets over it till the next'go,'it's'malignant,'eh?"
mdp.39015063955671	If you did n't do it who did?"
mdp.39015063955671	Is it kind?
mdp.39015063955671	Is it wise?"
mdp.39015063955671	It was quite obvious that he had got the whole story pat; that he had somehow 174 176 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER September?
mdp.39015063955671	Leaving one man alone in the guard room?"
mdp.39015063955671	Lepean?"
mdp.39015063955671	Lepean?"
mdp.39015063955671	Letters?
mdp.39015063955671	Like to come with me?"
mdp.39015063955671	MAJOR PREECE'S ROMANCE 9"Now then, cabby,"he said as the man landed on the pavement,"what's the matter?"
mdp.39015063955671	MEDBURY FORT( MONDAY) 65"Expelled?"
mdp.39015063955671	MEDBURY FORT( MONDAY) 73"Lepean?"
mdp.39015063955671	Major, will you play?"
mdp.39015063955671	Major,"he said,"come and have a night- cap in my room?"
mdp.39015063955671	Mallinson disguised the intense interest he felt at i6o THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER those words and asked casually:"Not the bloke wot was done in?"
mdp.39015063955671	Mawne?
mdp.39015063955671	May I go in?"
mdp.39015063955671	May I?"
mdp.39015063955671	My name is Harris,"volunteered the young- ster,"any — er — clues, yet?"
mdp.39015063955671	No?
mdp.39015063955671	Not pleasant to go against a brother medico?
mdp.39015063955671	Not reely?"
mdp.39015063955671	Not surely, though, to the point of murder?
mdp.39015063955671	Now, Doctor,"he continued briskly,"get on with your examination, will you?
mdp.39015063955671	Now, just a few points: how long was it from the time Private Mason began knocking to the time Major Preece came out of his own room?"
mdp.39015063955671	Now, one lump or two?"
mdp.39015063955671	OLD SINS HAVE LONG SHADOWS 57"Is it right?
mdp.39015063955671	Oh where, oh where can she be?"
mdp.39015063955671	Opening the door, he added:"By the way, have you any more of those tablets, Major?
mdp.39015063955671	Or a whisky and soda?"
mdp.39015063955671	Or did he use more agreeable methods?
mdp.39015063955671	Or had he built up an elaborate theory on too frail a foundation?
mdp.39015063955671	PATON AT WORK 113"You are sure no one went up during the night?"
mdp.39015063955671	Per- haps Mr. Harris will be good enough to accompany me?"
mdp.39015063955671	Perhaps Sergeant Nuthall had made a mistake?
mdp.39015063955671	Perhaps it would help you to tell me what is troubling you?"
mdp.39015063955671	Preece ex- claimed,"d'you sit there and tell me, in cold blood, you're trying to blackmail Lady Ronan?
mdp.39015063955671	Preece, pouring some more Worcester Sauce into the avocado pear he was eating, asked:"What's the row about?"
mdp.39015063955671	Preece?"
mdp.39015063955671	Rather ill- temperedly, Paton asked:"How did he do it?
mdp.39015063955671	Reaching to the mouthpiece of a speaking tube, he spoke down it:"Is Mallinson in?
mdp.39015063955671	Rek'lect'The Beggars'Opera'?
mdp.39015063955671	Save himself by putting a noose round the neck of his oldest friend?
mdp.39015063955671	See?"
mdp.39015063955671	Shall I show you, sir?"
mdp.39015063955671	She gurgled:"Oh, I would have loved youl""Would you like to have children, Prunella?"
mdp.39015063955671	She had ticked him off — properly; sent him away with his tail down; but had she con- vinced him?
mdp.39015063955671	She is at school now, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063955671	She turned to Claire:"It's Mrs. Preece, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063955671	She was speaking again in the slow, monotonous 22o THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER voice, so unlike her usual eager tones:"Did you try Captain Wape's door?"
mdp.39015063955671	Should he follow Mason or stay where he was and try to find out what he could from Swansdick?
mdp.39015063955671	Should he put out the light and try to get to sleep now?
mdp.39015063955671	Some vital clue, per- haps, staring him in the face?
mdp.39015063955671	Suppose Preece had murdered Lepean before he left him that night?
mdp.39015063955671	Surely that's enough?"
mdp.39015063955671	Surely those voices were outside in the pas- sage?
mdp.39015063955671	Surely?
mdp.39015063955671	Tell me, Mr. Bridges,"the inspector's voice became confidential,"I'm making a few inquiries, you understand?
mdp.39015063955671	The bed itself?
mdp.39015063955671	The children?"
mdp.39015063955671	The major, the cap- tain, the subaltern, or the private — what's his name?
mdp.39015063955671	The murderer?"
mdp.39015063955671	The old beggar had shot a bloke somewhere, had n't he?
mdp.39015063955671	The point was, would Lepean swallow those tablets now?
mdp.39015063955671	The sergeant bent forward eagerly and added:"Perhaps he got out after the door was burst open?"
mdp.39015063955671	The stamp?
mdp.39015063955671	Then aloud into the instrument:"Where's the body?"
mdp.39015063955671	Then why remove it again?
mdp.39015063955671	Then, you have a nursery maid — Nancy Beasley?"
mdp.39015063955671	There's a stretch of river you can get""Quite, Mr. Bridges,"interposed Paton firmly,"but have n't you an idea why Mr. Lepean came here?
mdp.39015063955671	They're in the house now?"
mdp.39015063955671	This is yer last diy to barricks, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063955671	Wape hesitated, then he asked, stiffly:"Any indi- cations, Inspector?
mdp.39015063955671	Was it because Sylvia was a lady, or because she was such a kid?
mdp.39015063955671	Was it fair to take this trusting and defenseless girl's confidence?
mdp.39015063955671	Was that bluff?
mdp.39015063955671	Was there any means by which he could outwit the black- mailer?
mdp.39015063955671	Was there anything to be gained by conciliating her?
mdp.39015063955671	Well, down't ferget yer konfined to barricks till midnight, see?
mdp.39015063955671	Were you — acquainted?"
mdp.39015063955671	What about old Wape, though?
mdp.39015063955671	What are they?"
mdp.39015063955671	What beats me is, how did Wape manage to be so devilish quick on the trigger?"
mdp.39015063955671	What did it matter, one way or the other?
mdp.39015063955671	What do you expect to gain?"
mdp.39015063955671	What do you know about this?"
mdp.39015063955671	What exactly, she asked herself as she waited for the door to be answered, did she pro- 221 222 THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER pose to do?
mdp.39015063955671	What had he been thinking about?
mdp.39015063955671	What is it?"
mdp.39015063955671	What is it?"
mdp.39015063955671	What man would refuse the ineffable flattery of a pretty woman's offered surrender?
mdp.39015063955671	What shall I do with it, sir?"
mdp.39015063955671	What should she say?
mdp.39015063955671	What the devil was that?
mdp.39015063955671	What the hell's this?"
mdp.39015063955671	What was Mason's motive?"
mdp.39015063955671	What was his — er — crime?"
mdp.39015063955671	What was the alternative?
mdp.39015063955671	What was the motive?
mdp.39015063955671	What was the order and the approximate times of arriving outside the room of the other officers?"
mdp.39015063955671	What would the Eighteenth Century Ronan have thought of one of their race being mixed up with a Bow Street run- ner?
mdp.39015063955671	What's he want?
mdp.39015063955671	When he came I asked him straight out,'What about it?'
mdp.39015063955671	When you get back to- night, can you examine that lock?"
mdp.39015063955671	Where d'yer learn it?
mdp.39015063955671	Where's she off to now all of a sudden, I wonder?
mdp.39015063955671	Who is it?"
mdp.39015063955671	Why be needlessly melodramatic?
mdp.39015063955671	Why ca n't women run their clubs decently?
mdp.39015063955671	Why did you not refuse to answer any questions about me?"
mdp.39015063955671	Why not give yourself to me?
mdp.39015063955671	Why not, you'll say?
mdp.39015063955671	Why not?"
mdp.39015063955671	Why, though?
mdp.39015063955671	Will you have a cup of tea?
mdp.39015063955671	With a foreboding that disaster upon disaster was going to overwhelm him, Preece demanded harshly,"Why are you here, Claire?
mdp.39015063955671	Wot the bloody'ell's this?"
mdp.39015063955671	Wot was you drinkln', mate, to go all unsteady on yer flippers like that?"
mdp.39015063955671	Wot's yer nime, mate?"
mdp.39015063955671	Would Mrs. Preece come in?
mdp.39015063955671	Would the chambermaid and the head waiter be the same as you have at present?"
mdp.39015063955671	Would you give my card to Lady Ronan when she arrives?"
mdp.39015063955671	Would you say men are, by nature, more sexually promiscuous than women?"
mdp.39015063955671	Would, in the first place, Crown counsel advise prosecution?
mdp.39015063955671	You agree with Major Preece's finding?"
mdp.39015063955671	You burned my letter, of course?"
mdp.39015063955671	You ca n't pay, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063955671	You do n't say that's the officer been murdered?
mdp.39015063955671	You do n't want to come, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063955671	You know the story of the Greenhithe flapper who asked her aunt if girls could have a baby?"
mdp.39015063955671	You see?"
mdp.39015063955671	You understand?"
mdp.39015063955671	You'll let me know the result of the autopsy by to- morrow morning?
mdp.39015063955671	ioo THE MEDBURY FORT MURDER"No enemies?"
mdp.39015063955671	still loved her?
mdp.39015063955671	the girl continued in a dismayed voice,"you wo n't tell'er ladyship?"
mdp.39015063955671	they sez, w'en I tells'en,'bain't ther'no train avore that?'
mdp.39015063955671	to- night?"
mdp.39015063955671	you irrevocable judgment, sah?"
mdp.39015063928025	/ did? mdp.39015063928025 111?
mdp.39015063928025	A smooth run?
mdp.39015063928025	All ready, Tembridge?
mdp.39015063928025	All ready?
mdp.39015063928025	And Demorval?
mdp.39015063928025	And I suppose all you gentlemen are perfectly willing to stand up in open court and reiterate all that — on oath?
mdp.39015063928025	And Lady Demorval actually believes him dead?
mdp.39015063928025	And after you saw it I did n't move, did I?
mdp.39015063928025	And he has been here again to- day?
mdp.39015063928025	And he stayed till 10.35, did he?
mdp.39015063928025	And if I was a detective, you'd have stood a fine chance, would n't you, making a damfool remark like that?
mdp.39015063928025	And is it the same magistrate sitting to- day?
mdp.39015063928025	And the address?
mdp.39015063928025	And to be perfectly candid in your replies to these questions?
mdp.39015063928025	And what's that?
mdp.39015063928025	And what,she asked, with studiously primmed lips,"can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063928025	And where to now?
mdp.39015063928025	And where was this?
mdp.39015063928025	And where was this?
mdp.39015063928025	And who is Arthur Raymond?
mdp.39015063928025	And you got across all right, too?
mdp.39015063928025	And you, sir,he asked;"what is your name, please?"
mdp.39015063928025	AndPerrigo?
mdp.39015063928025	Any letters for me to- day, Arthur?
mdp.39015063928025	Any other reason why you suspected her?
mdp.39015063928025	Anything else? mdp.39015063928025 Anything hap- pened?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you engaged?
mdp.39015063928025	Are you going in, sir?
mdp.39015063928025	Are you going out, sir?
mdp.39015063928025	Are you in love?
mdp.39015063928025	Are you still in Lady Demorval's employ?
mdp.39015063928025	Are you — are you Mr.—Colonel — Stayne?
mdp.39015063928025	Are you? mdp.39015063928025 Asking us to hold the baby, eh?"
mdp.39015063928025	At seven in the evening?
mdp.39015063928025	At the Casino in the Rue Pigalle?
mdp.39015063928025	Bad as that — eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Been out on the razzle, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Belham?
mdp.39015063928025	But he calls here?
mdp.39015063928025	But how long will it last?
mdp.39015063928025	But surely there was an appeal down for hearing?
mdp.39015063928025	But surely, have n't the police taken charge of it?
mdp.39015063928025	But surely, we have broken through false alibis before? mdp.39015063928025 But the raiders were too quick for them?"
mdp.39015063928025	But what I want to know is, are you com- ing quietly, or do I have to get rough with you?
mdp.39015063928025	But what — what do you want me to do?
mdp.39015063928025	But why?
mdp.39015063928025	But, Mr. Stayne, what can they find out from me? mdp.39015063928025 Camouflage?"
mdp.39015063928025	Colonel Stayne, will you please turn out your pockets?
mdp.39015063928025	Coming quiet?
mdp.39015063928025	Coming?
mdp.39015063928025	Comingwhere?
mdp.39015063928025	Could I? mdp.39015063928025 D'ye mean that, mate?"
mdp.39015063928025	Daleson — Daleson? mdp.39015063928025 Dare?
mdp.39015063928025	Did Lady Demorval invite you into the secret of the faked burglary?
mdp.39015063928025	Did anyone else see him there?
mdp.39015063928025	Did n't that strike you as a damn long time to be gone to a letter- box just round the corner?
mdp.39015063928025	Did she offer any reason?
mdp.39015063928025	Did you head him off?
mdp.39015063928025	Did you hear that?
mdp.39015063928025	Did you see anyone come out of here recently?
mdp.39015063928025	Did you work on the three gentlemen concerned?
mdp.39015063928025	Do n't know that a balloon travels with the wind; therefore there is no wind in a balloon and no sensation of wind pressure, even in half a storm?
mdp.39015063928025	Do they indeed?
mdp.39015063928025	Do they suspect us yet at 8b?
mdp.39015063928025	Do which?
mdp.39015063928025	Do you feel like concentrating on a few of the finer points of this unusual story?
mdp.39015063928025	Do you mean to say you actually sent someone round to impersonate you? mdp.39015063928025 Do you mean to say you dare to put up a denial?"
mdp.39015063928025	Do you represent the genuine company?
mdp.39015063928025	Do you — did I hear you say Perrigo was here — in London?
mdp.39015063928025	Does Marienne know?
mdp.39015063928025	Does it occur to you that you have already answered that question?
mdp.39015063928025	Does that mean that — that I can not see Tem- pler?
mdp.39015063928025	Drew me pension, see? mdp.39015063928025 Eh?"
mdp.39015063928025	Eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Emil Flocard? mdp.39015063928025 Exactly what have you against him up to now?"
mdp.39015063928025	Feelingbad?
mdp.39015063928025	Feelingbad?
mdp.39015063928025	Finished?
mdp.39015063928025	Fixed?
mdp.39015063928025	Get him a hot one, will you?
mdp.39015063928025	Get me my cigarette case out, will you, please?
mdp.39015063928025	Going through one of the bad spells?
mdp.39015063928025	Going to Paris, are you, my beauty?
mdp.39015063928025	Going to have a smack at'em in the air from a'plane?
mdp.39015063928025	Got a match, sir?
mdp.39015063928025	Got your gun with you, Chief?
mdp.39015063928025	Got your straps? mdp.39015063928025 Hallo — is that you, Number One?
mdp.39015063928025	Happen to know where Raymond is now?
mdp.39015063928025	Has he searched?
mdp.39015063928025	Have I done wrong in shanghai- ing you out of a prison into which you should never have been put? mdp.39015063928025 Have any trouble?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have you a warrant — or a letter?
mdp.39015063928025	Have you any idea where he was going?
mdp.39015063928025	Have you ever been in love in your life?
mdp.39015063928025	Have you fixed Varris?
mdp.39015063928025	He blames us for it, does he?
mdp.39015063928025	He said that, did he?
mdp.39015063928025	He's O. K. Did you notice where he went?
mdp.39015063928025	Hello, Hawker, how's tricks? mdp.39015063928025 Honestly, Hawker, do you really think I had any hand in that fool affair?"
mdp.39015063928025	How are you fixed for cash?
mdp.39015063928025	How are you going to get clear of the evidence of that car?

mdp.39015063928025	How do I know anyone to go to?
mdp.39015063928025	How do I know that you are n't one of the Per- rigo crowd?
mdp.39015063928025	How does he feel about it?
mdp.39015063928025	How long has he been on the board?
mdp.39015063928025	How long has this man Daleson been coming here?
mdp.39015063928025	How long is it since he went out?
mdp.39015063928025	How long was he gone?
mdp.39015063928025	How's tricks at your end?
mdp.39015063928025	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063928025	I ca n't drop a book as big as a wallet out of my in- side pocket, can I? mdp.39015063928025 I did n't engineer the wretched thing, did I?
mdp.39015063928025	I have n't recognised anyone here — who is it?
mdp.39015063928025	I said how in the name of miracles did you get out of 8b Curzon Square? mdp.39015063928025 I — I beg your pardon?"

mdp.39015063928025	If Stayne can tap people like that, who else is he going to invite into the box when he comes up for trial? mdp.39015063928025 If you are so sure of it, why on earth did n't you arrest him as he went out?"
mdp.39015063928025	If you've been tapping in on the line there is n't much sense in telling you, is there?
mdp.39015063928025	If, as you say, you've had the man Varris in prison before, it stands to reason that you have a record of his finger prints, does n't it?
mdp.39015063928025	Indeed? mdp.39015063928025 Is Stayne in there with him?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is he in?
mdp.39015063928025	Is it? mdp.39015063928025 Is that so?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is that you, sir?

mdp.39015063928025	Seen th'evening papers, th'final editions?
mdp.39015063928025	Shall I grow a moustache?
mdp.39015063928025	She objected to my condition?
mdp.39015063928025	Since when,asked Stayne waspily,"have I been accused of drunkenness?"
mdp.39015063928025	So you got your living with that barrow, did you?
mdp.39015063928025	So you made it, did you?
mdp.39015063928025	Starting early, are n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	Staynegoes to Paris to- night?

mdp.39015063928025	Sweet? mdp.39015063928025 That is the truth?"
mdp.39015063928025	That means I do n't get the warrant, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	That was when he recommended you to come and see me?
mdp.39015063928025	That you, Chief? mdp.39015063928025 That you, Hawker?"

mdp.39015063928025	Then how did you know to come to me?
mdp.39015063928025	Then how the devil do you know he's out?
mdp.39015063928025	Then why did you remain silent in the dock?
mdp.39015063928025	There must be no arrest, Number Three, you understand that? mdp.39015063928025 These here's the ones, ai n't they?"
mdp.39015063928025	They did n't find anything the first time, did they? mdp.39015063928025 Think he will?"

mdp.39015063928025	Was it? mdp.39015063928025 Was that a really strong one?"
mdp.39015063928025	Well, Hawker? mdp.39015063928025 Well, are you com- ing quietly?"
mdp.39015063928025	Well, that's serious enough, is n't it?

mdp.39015063928025	What do we do with the railway rigs?
mdp.39015063928025	What do you want to know, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	What have I done? mdp.39015063928025 What have they done for me?
mdp.39015063928025	What is it you want to know? mdp.39015063928025 What makes you think I was drunk?"
mdp.39015063928025	What name, please?
mdp.39015063928025	What odds will it make?
mdp.39015063928025	What the devil do you mean?
mdp.39015063928025	What time does the court sit?
mdp.39015063928025	What was it? mdp.39015063928025 What will you take to drink, sir?"
mdp.39015063928025	What — already? mdp.39015063928025 What — me?"
mdp.39015063928025	What's his line? mdp.39015063928025 What's the new move, Colonel?
mdp.39015063928025	What's this? mdp.39015063928025 What's wrong now?"

mdp.39015063928025	What?
mdp.39015063928025	What?
mdp.39015063928025	Where did Lady Demorval go for her little gambling flutters?
mdp.39015063928025	Where did he go after that, hey? mdp.39015063928025 Where is Hawker now?"
mdp.39015063928025	Where is your passenger?
mdp.39015063928025	Where to, nah, sir?
mdp.39015063928025	Where's Lady Demorval?
mdp.39015063928025	Where's them pantry winders, miss?
mdp.39015063928025	Where?
mdp.39015063928025	Which way did he go?
mdp.39015063928025	Which way did he go?
mdp.39015063928025	Who owns the place?
mdp.39015063928025	Who sent you?
mdp.39015063928025	Who the devil are you?
mdp.39015063928025	Who was that perfect artist?
mdp.39015063928025	Who were they, Hawker?
mdp.39015063928025	Who — who are you?
mdp.39015063928025	Why ask me?
mdp.39015063928025	Why did n't you arrest him this morning? mdp.39015063928025 Why did you play drunk?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why fly off at me?
mdp.39015063928025	Why on earth should n't I? mdp.39015063928025 Why there?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why was this?
mdp.39015063928025	Why? mdp.39015063928025 Will you want the secretary?"
mdp.39015063928025	Will you? mdp.39015063928025 Willing?
mdp.39015063928025	Wireless?
mdp.39015063928025	Wo n't you please sit down?
mdp.39015063928025	Wo n't you please sit down?
mdp.39015063928025	Would he? mdp.39015063928025 Would you repeat that statement on oath in the witness- box?"
mdp.39015063928025	Yes — what is it?
mdp.39015063928025	Yes—Stayne himself was hardly more than whispering—"has anything happened while I've been gone?"
mdp.39015063928025	Yes, yes — is he there now?
mdp.39015063928025	Yes?
mdp.39015063928025	You are not even asking who I am?
mdp.39015063928025	You can do all that, can you? mdp.39015063928025 You did, did you?
mdp.39015063928025	You do n't expect me to step in and risk it, do you?
mdp.39015063928025	You do n't think,said Stayne foggily,"that I would be admitting to that name if it was anything else, do you?"
mdp.39015063928025	You do, eh? mdp.39015063928025 You know I shall have to make a report of this, sir?"
mdp.39015063928025	You mean that money has been raised in France by people who are in no way connected with the firm they allege they represent?
mdp.39015063928025	You mean the man whose head was bashed in with the fizz bottle? mdp.39015063928025 You might bring up a decanter and some glasses, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063928025	You presume, do you? mdp.39015063928025 You rather expected that, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063928025	You saw him go, hey?
mdp.39015063928025	You told her that?
mdp.39015063928025	You went out with them in your pocket?
mdp.39015063928025	You were awaiting appeal, were n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	You — you what?
mdp.39015063928025	You — you're not going to arrest him?
mdp.39015063928025	You're not a policeman? mdp.39015063928025 You're tired to- night, Colonel?"
mdp.39015063928025	You're — you're pretty thorough, are n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	You've got this thing pretty closely knit up, have n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	You've no money at all?
mdp.39015063928025	Your use of the plural, I trust, only embraces the outside men on this particular case?
mdp.39015063928025	Yours?
mdp.39015063928025	'Where's this miracle- maker of yours?'
mdp.39015063928025	120 THE MYSTERY MAKER"Were you responsible for the murder of the man found dead there on the night you got Lady Demor- val out of the place?"
mdp.39015063928025	154 THE MYSTERY MAKER"Where's MissVarris?"
mdp.39015063928025	16 THE MYSTERY MAKER"A — a condition?"
mdp.39015063928025	88 THE MYSTERY MAKER"Is that Number One?"
mdp.39015063928025	A gentle chuckle came over the wire, and the level voice said,"Well?
mdp.39015063928025	After all, I did break into and out of prison, did n't I?
mdp.39015063928025	Ai n't got the price of a cup of tea about you, I s'pose?
mdp.39015063928025	And if it does, what'll it do?"
mdp.39015063928025	And if you can believe that, I'll eat my uni- form coatl Candidly, sir, where do I stand?
mdp.39015063928025	And now, Chief, what's the reason for the visit?Tern- THE MYSTERY MAKER 33 denly slid off it?
mdp.39015063928025	And what d'you think now?"
mdp.39015063928025	And what was the idea behind the men he had paid for their informa- tion?
mdp.39015063928025	And who says so?"
mdp.39015063928025	And why?
mdp.39015063928025	And yet — how had he contrived to get it clear in that incredibly short time?
mdp.39015063928025	And you are Miss Marienne Varris?
mdp.39015063928025	And""The note?"
mdp.39015063928025	And, after all, you had cancelled your appeal, had n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	Anything more to report from your end?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are n't you coming along?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you coming up now?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you going round to the back?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you going to disguise at all?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you going to pull an alibi?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you pulling my leg — having a bit of a joke on me?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you — really?"
mdp.39015063928025	Are you?"
mdp.39015063928025	As they tripped by the orchestra platform Tembridge whispered,"There's a friend of yours here I'd like you to meet — would you care to?"
mdp.39015063928025	At that point Gabriel Perrigo let out a startled THE MYSTERY MAKER 173 his elbow,"but would you mind stepping back into the"Eh?"
mdp.39015063928025	Baggage, m'sieu?
mdp.39015063928025	Bit of a problem for them, is n't it?
mdp.39015063928025	But she is rather sweet, is n't she?"
mdp.39015063928025	But to anyone with half a grain of sense it's obvious that Perrigo and Canning are not working alone, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063928025	But you've got no proof""Proof — what greater proof do you want than the fact that I have n't got my passport?

mdp.39015063928025	CHAPTER XXXII OU see the neatness, Chief?"
mdp.39015063928025	Ca n't you see how suspicious it is?
mdp.39015063928025	Can I pay it now?"
mdp.39015063928025	Candidly, Miss Varris, what do you think would happen if I were lunatic enough to give it you?"
mdp.39015063928025	Candidly, what do you want me for?"
mdp.39015063928025	Care to give me the pre- scription?"
mdp.39015063928025	Care to have a rummage round the house?
mdp.39015063928025	Come on, where is it?
mdp.39015063928025	Comfortable?"
mdp.39015063928025	D'ye get that, my cocker, hey?"
mdp.39015063928025	D'ye think I did n't know how much you had managed to worm out of her in that quarter of an hour she was up here with you?"
mdp.39015063928025	D'ye think I did n't see her almost laughing with relief through eyes that were still wet with tears?
mdp.39015063928025	Daleson is on the'phone round there: got the number?"
mdp.39015063928025	Dare?"
mdp.39015063928025	Did he leave any message?"
mdp.39015063928025	Did he try to implicate anyone else or hint at other complications?"
mdp.39015063928025	Did you notice that coster standing on the corner of the street — man hawking ferns?"
mdp.39015063928025	Did you say you're the Chief?
mdp.39015063928025	Do Perrigo and Canning care a hang about me?"
mdp.39015063928025	Do n't mean to say you're going to be fool enough to say you're not Varris — Templer Varris?"
mdp.39015063928025	Do you know I've had to half- asphyxiate a head warder in there in order to get you out?"
mdp.39015063928025	Do you mean that you are going to arrest me?"
mdp.39015063928025	Do you still say he was with you at that hour?"
mdp.39015063928025	Do you want to take him back with you, sir?"
mdp.39015063928025	Eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Even if I had pinched the passport, do you think I'd be fool enough to carry it around now — after I'd once got clear?"
mdp.39015063928025	Fifty or sixty shouting, gesticulating porteurs came swarm- ing aboard, yelling"Baggage?
mdp.39015063928025	First you thought I was Daleson, did n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	General Stonehaugh, would you mind telling Mr. Hawker, please, at what hour to- day you first met me and when we parted?"

mdp.39015063928025	Get me?"
mdp.39015063928025	Get the idea?"
mdp.39015063928025	Go on — why not cut the heart out of her?
mdp.39015063928025	Got your line of action?"
mdp.39015063928025	Had he heard the news of Varris's escape from gaol earlier in the morn- ing and rushed over from Paris to investigate?
mdp.39015063928025	Had he suddenly taken a dose of cold feet and decided to get as near as possible to the source of immediate dan- ger?
mdp.39015063928025	Had one of the lads passing by, hey?"
mdp.39015063928025	Half the scheming mothers in Mayfair have traipsed their daughters through Curzon Square, have n't they?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have I done anything criminally wrong in taking the law into my own hands in putting right a grave injustice?
mdp.39015063928025	Have a cigar?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have a spot?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have all those bobbies cleared off yet?
mdp.39015063928025	Have you any proof of identifica- tion?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have you anything about him?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have you heard from Twenty- two?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have you made a move yet?
mdp.39015063928025	Have you seen Hawker?"
mdp.39015063928025	Have you thought it all out?"
mdp.39015063928025	Hawker does n't suspect, does he?"
mdp.39015063928025	He paused a moment and then asked quietly:"Do you think Hawker was in earnest about that search party?"
mdp.39015063928025	He pulled the knob on the armchair and said:"Has Miss Varris gone yet, Belham?"
mdp.39015063928025	He's already turned his own pockets out, has n't he?
mdp.39015063928025	He's in Scrubs, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063928025	Hey?
mdp.39015063928025	Hey?
mdp.39015063928025	Hold the line, will you?
mdp.39015063928025	How are things going?
mdp.39015063928025	How did you spot me?
mdp.39015063928025	How do I know that this thing is on the level?"
mdp.39015063928025	How do you tog up a typical American tourist?
mdp.39015063928025	How does the law stand in the matter?
mdp.39015063928025	How in Hades did you get out of Stayne's house?"
mdp.39015063928025	How long ago was that?"
mdp.39015063928025	How many did he take with him?"
mdp.39015063928025	How many more do you want?"
mdp.39015063928025	How was it done?
mdp.39015063928025	How's your French?"
mdp.39015063928025	I can git some clean water dahn there, ca n't I?"
mdp.39015063928025	I do n't need to be one of the Big Five, do I, in order to put two and two to- gether?
mdp.39015063928025	I had the passport five min- utes ago — you'll admit that, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063928025	I sup- pose Varris was aware of the time City offices close?"
mdp.39015063928025	I'm in fruit, see?
mdp.39015063928025	If I make the arrest, will you guarantee that we go through with it?"
mdp.39015063928025	If it is inconvenient for you to see her now, would you please make an appointment at as early a moment as pos- sible?
mdp.39015063928025	If they were on the THE MYSTERY MAKER 249 straight, why did n't they come to us?
mdp.39015063928025	If you do, ring for Belham, will you?"
mdp.39015063928025	In other words, had Perrigo al- ready begun to shift the money from Paris?
mdp.39015063928025	In what way could he assist?
mdp.39015063928025	Is n't that so?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is that Belham?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is that all?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is that the gentleman you are inquiring for?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is the way clear?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is there anything more?"
mdp.39015063928025	Is this yours, sir?"
mdp.39015063928025	It implied the unspoken ques- tion:"Are you the man I'm told to look for?"
mdp.39015063928025	It was headed"Have you seen this car?"
mdp.39015063928025	It's all very simple, is n't it?
mdp.39015063928025	It's rather a serious sheet, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063928025	It's the real Tembridge round there in the pit now, hey?"
mdp.39015063928025	Lapse of memory, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Let me see now, what was I going to say?
mdp.39015063928025	London's Perfect Bachelor, are n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	Lord Demorval has been'dead'now nearly three months, has he not?"
mdp.39015063928025	Make a note of that, will you, and get some cash from the bank to meet it?
mdp.39015063928025	Mal- ingering heart or just going slowly daft?"
mdp.39015063928025	Me have a lawyer?
mdp.39015063928025	Me?
mdp.39015063928025	Me?
mdp.39015063928025	Not a very pleasant quarter of an hour for you, was it?
mdp.39015063928025	Nothing gone wrong, I hope, Chief?"
mdp.39015063928025	Now what on earth did his presence there portend?
mdp.39015063928025	Now — what was the big motive that bound you to silence?
mdp.39015063928025	Now — who sent you to me?"
mdp.39015063928025	Now, is all that perfectly clear?"
mdp.39015063928025	Now, tell me, when did you last see Lord Demorval?"
mdp.39015063928025	Now, who was it?"
mdp.39015063928025	Now, why did you take those necklaces from Lady Demorval's bag?"
mdp.39015063928025	Of course I'm not ill. What's the mat- ter, Chief?
mdp.39015063928025	Oh, what am I to do?
mdp.39015063928025	Once he gets over there, where will I be?
mdp.39015063928025	One could hardly be fairer, could one?"
mdp.39015063928025	Perrigo?
mdp.39015063928025	Poor devil — didn't you see the misery in his eyes — at the station there, in Calais?
mdp.39015063928025	Pretty cute, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	See?
mdp.39015063928025	See?
mdp.39015063928025	See?
mdp.39015063928025	See?
mdp.39015063928025	See?"
mdp.39015063928025	See?"
mdp.39015063928025	Seen the papers, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063928025	Show Miss Varris out, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063928025	Show her up to me in here, will you, please?"
mdp.39015063928025	So soon?"
mdp.39015063928025	So that was Perrigo, was it?
mdp.39015063928025	Speeding on your motor?"
mdp.39015063928025	Stayne heard his droned out, hopeless monody,"Vi'lets, lady?
mdp.39015063928025	Stayne squiffy?"
mdp.39015063928025	Stayne turned a knob under the arm of his chair, and said, to nobody in particular,"Yes — what is it?"
mdp.39015063928025	Suppose we deal in a simple note of hand?
mdp.39015063928025	Sweet vi'lets, lady?
mdp.39015063928025	Sweet vi'lets, sir?
mdp.39015063928025	Sweet vi'lets?
mdp.39015063928025	Sweet vi'lets?
mdp.39015063928025	THE MYSTERY MAKER 22$"You know what it means, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063928025	THE MYSTERY MAKER 29"Well, Tembridge,"he said,"what did you think of her?"
mdp.39015063928025	THE MYSTERY MAKER"Who?
mdp.39015063928025	Tails are bad form in Paris, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063928025	Tell him, my dear woman, will you?"
mdp.39015063928025	Tell me, Varris, you're very fond of your sister, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063928025	Tell me, what else can you do besides secretarial work?"
mdp.39015063928025	Tembridge, are you getting tired of London?"
mdp.39015063928025	Thank you so much: up here, is n't it?
mdp.39015063928025	That boy's a trifle sudden, is n't he?
mdp.39015063928025	That darn balloon?"
mdp.39015063928025	That ruffian — that out- and- out scamp — y'know the feller I mean?
mdp.39015063928025	That's to cover the Paris end, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063928025	That's what it is, is n't it?
mdp.39015063928025	The Beak knows me, see?
mdp.39015063928025	The Dover end all fixed?"
mdp.39015063928025	The Mystery Maker walked over, stuck his head in at the window, and said:"Sus- picious lot of devils to- night, are n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	The chant of his monotone came to Per- rigo—"Vi'lets, sir?
mdp.39015063928025	The detective picked up the in- strument and a smoothly accented voice said:"Is that you, Hawker?
mdp.39015063928025	The old address?"
mdp.39015063928025	The tiddy- falah that your butler chatted to you on?"
mdp.39015063928025	Then he said:"Oh — it's you, is it?
mdp.39015063928025	Think you're going to get my goat, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Thinking of going on the stage?"
mdp.39015063928025	Turning Good Samaritan, hey?"
mdp.39015063928025	Vi'lets, lady?
mdp.39015063928025	Vi'lets?"
mdp.39015063928025	Vi'lets?"
mdp.39015063928025	Vi'lets?"
mdp.39015063928025	We could bring a case against him of criminal personation — but where would it land us?
mdp.39015063928025	Well, you might do a little thing for me, will you, please?
mdp.39015063928025	Well, you're not, see?
mdp.39015063928025	Were you expecting a call from me — or have I been sitting on a mare's nest?"
mdp.39015063928025	What am I to do?"
mdp.39015063928025	What are the limits?"
mdp.39015063928025	What are they going to do about it?
mdp.39015063928025	What are you in for?
mdp.39015063928025	What can I do?"
mdp.39015063928025	What do you think I am — a thought reader?"
mdp.39015063928025	What do you want to know?"
mdp.39015063928025	What else would keep his tongue silent when nothing but five years of prison misery stared him in the face?
mdp.39015063928025	What has that got to do with me?"
mdp.39015063928025	What in the world had made her open her heart to this man — whose very name she did not even know?
mdp.39015063928025	What is the name of the person who sent you to me?"
mdp.39015063928025	What made you suspect a crash was com- ing?
mdp.39015063928025	What makes you think the necessity will arise?"
mdp.39015063928025	What more natural than that the two should meet — having mutual business to transact?
mdp.39015063928025	What name, please?"
mdp.39015063928025	What of it?"
mdp.39015063928025	What the devil do you ask me that for?"
mdp.39015063928025	What was the idea, Colonel?"
mdp.39015063928025	What you have told me is quite sufficient — and a signature is so much nicer and — easier, shall we say?"
mdp.39015063928025	What you mean is that, up to now, you have not succeeded in getting sufficient evidence to warrant arresting him yourself?"
mdp.39015063928025	What's gone wrong?
mdp.39015063928025	What's his number?"
mdp.39015063928025	What's the alibi this time?"
mdp.39015063928025	What's the game now?"
mdp.39015063928025	What's the idea, Varris?
mdp.39015063928025	What^as the idea of acting drunk to- night?
mdp.39015063928025	Where did Lady Demorval go for her little gambling flutters?"
mdp.39015063928025	Where is it now?"
mdp.39015063928025	Where'd it come from?
mdp.39015063928025	Where's Varris?"
mdp.39015063928025	Where's the gadget?"
mdp.39015063928025	Which messenger office was called?"
mdp.39015063928025	Who are you and what are you, anyway?"
mdp.39015063928025	Who else would your brother risk his neck for but the employer who had befriended him when he was down and out?
mdp.39015063928025	Who have they got in Scrubs?"
mdp.39015063928025	Who was he with when he was pump- ing hydrocyanide into the lungs of the gate gaoler at Scrubs Prison?"
mdp.39015063928025	Who's your law- yer?"
mdp.39015063928025	Whose passport?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why ask me to break faith on a matter that is, after all, only a secondary consideration?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why bring the matter up at all?
mdp.39015063928025	Why did n't you arrest him?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why do n't you see Perrigo?
mdp.39015063928025	Why else had he come to London?
mdp.39015063928025	Why in the name of beauty should he risk his neck getting you out of a place into which you had voluntarily thrust yourself?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why not telephone her and chortle out the news that you know who committed the forgeries?
mdp.39015063928025	Why not?
mdp.39015063928025	Why not?"
mdp.39015063928025	Why on earth had she been such a heaven- deserted fool as to tell this utter stranger the secrets she had been even too frightened to think about?
mdp.39015063928025	Why should n't I tell you, eh?
mdp.39015063928025	Why should n't I?
mdp.39015063928025	Why the devil did n't you tell me about Paris before?
mdp.39015063928025	Will you do the necessary?
mdp.39015063928025	Will you make it conveni- ent to call?"
mdp.39015063928025	Will you please step this way?"
mdp.39015063928025	Will you?"
mdp.39015063928025	Wo n't you please sit down?
mdp.39015063928025	Would a girl of her character risk her own freedom to shield an obvious criminal unless — pah, what's the use of talk- ing to you?
mdp.39015063928025	Would you be good enough to answer a few questions?
mdp.39015063928025	Yes?"
mdp.39015063928025	You could hardly have booked your rooms before you broke out of prison, could you?
mdp.39015063928025	You have seen her, of course?"
mdp.39015063928025	You realise from letters written to you from the Treasury that we are in British political employ?"
mdp.39015063928025	You realise that, I hope?
mdp.39015063928025	You realised where the call came from, I presume?"
mdp.39015063928025	You remember that man you arrested down at Wapping yesterday?"
mdp.39015063928025	You see what it means?
mdp.39015063928025	You think the magistrate will commit you to prison right away, do you?"
mdp.39015063928025	You think you did a noble and a self- sacrificing thing in going to gaol?"
mdp.39015063928025	You think you were brave, do n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	You under- stand that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063928025	You will help?"
mdp.39015063928025	You wo n't bring him down in handcuffs?"
mdp.39015063928025	You'd hardly question their credentials, would you?"
mdp.39015063928025	You'll admit that he did that, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063928025	You're not from Scotland Yard?"
mdp.39015063928025	You're not going to deny your identity, are you?
mdp.39015063928025	You're pulling another line of bull on me, hey?"
mdp.39015063928025	You've been here before, then?"
mdp.39015063928025	club?"
mdp.39015063928025	he said in the same odd, ventriloquial way,"and what else?"
mdp.39015063928025	so you've found out about that, have you?"
mdp.39015063542685	A business call at two o'clock on Saturday afternoon? mdp.39015063542685 About through with my boys, chief?
mdp.39015063542685	After two? ” Miss Manning repeated. mdp.39015063542685 Alibi?
mdp.39015063542685	All right, Birdwell — what is it? ” as his other subordinate again appeared in the communicating door- way. mdp.39015063542685 All right, what next?
mdp.39015063542685	And I'm to believe, too, that you spent from four to six minutes looking for your bank book? ”. mdp.39015063542685 And after you knocked her out? ” McMann prodded his witness.
mdp.39015063542685	And did Borden talk with her when he returned? ” McMann demanded. mdp.39015063542685 And did they quarrel over Miss Dubois? ”"I do n't know.
mdp.39015063542685	And did you come up with him? ”Sure!
mdp.39015063542685	And did you see Miss Manning again?
mdp.39015063542685	And go to the bank yourself, wo n't you? mdp.39015063542685 And how did Mrs. Borden know you kept a gun there?
mdp.39015063542685	And she says she walked down the stairs and out of the lobby at that time? ” Sudden comprehension illumined Ruth's lovely face. mdp.39015063542685 And talked with Borden? ” McMann suggested, with an effect of casualness.
mdp.39015063542685	And that is? ” Jack demanded, with angry contempt. mdp.39015063542685 And then?
mdp.39015063542685	And what was the purpose and the result of that impromptu interview, Miss Manning? ”As to the purpose of that interview, I decline to an- swer.
mdp.39015063542685	And what would you say made those peculiarly shaped blood spots, Ferber? mdp.39015063542685 And when Mr. Hayward left, did you notice anything peculiar about his behavior? ” McMann suggested.
mdp.39015063542685	And where is Jake Bailey, Ashe? ” McMann concluded his rapid- fire grilling of the valet. mdp.39015063542685 Any calls? ” Ruth's hands shook a little as she adjusted her spectacles with fumbling haste.
mdp.39015063542685	Any charge accounts for his lady friends?
mdp.39015063542685	Anything unusual happen as the couple went down in your elevator, Moran? mdp.39015063542685 As near as I can remember- yes. ”"You distinctly heard the speaker call himself Harry Borden? ” McMann insisted.
mdp.39015063542685	At just what time? ”I —"Benny looked pitifully confused.
mdp.39015063542685	Back? ” Benny echoed, blankly. mdp.39015063542685 Benny?
mdp.39015063542685	Borden opened the door between the two offices for you, I suppose? ” McMann suggested casually. mdp.39015063542685 Borden was in a hurry to get rid of you but you took time to joke with him about Jake Bailey, eh? ” McMann grinned.
mdp.39015063542685	Borden? ” CHAPTER IV I TACK made an impatient gesture toward the waiter J who had hurried to the table, order pad in hand. mdp.39015063542685 But — that brings us to — Cowan, does n't it?
mdp.39015063542685	But- if she killed him from my office, how can you ac- count for the disappearance of your gun? mdp.39015063542685 By the way, Birdwell, Clay did n't tip off Mrs. Wilbur that Rita was wanted by the police, did he? ” Birdwell smiled slightly.
mdp.39015063542685	By the way, Mrs. Borden, at exactly what time did you arrive Saturday? ” McMann remembered to ask, as he jotted down notes on her story. mdp.39015063542685 Claims Borden let her in- pretty and polite as you please, does she?
mdp.39015063542685	Did Borden buy the automatic and instruct you to use it on bandits, Miss Lester? ”No."
mdp.39015063542685	Did any one see you leave Borden's office? ” McMann shot at the boy. mdp.39015063542685 Did he say who the young lady was? ”"Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063542685	Did n't I tell you? ” Benny demanded in a furious whis- per. mdp.39015063542685 Did you ever see her again? ”"Sure!
mdp.39015063542685	Did you get the Miller woman's address, sir? mdp.39015063542685 Did you notice her manner?
mdp.39015063542685	Did you see the dancer whose picture is in the papers, too? ” McMann tried a new method. mdp.39015063542685 Do you know Mrs. Borden by sight, Ashe?"
mdp.39015063542685	Do you think, Mr. McMann, that it's fair to lead the witness like that? ” Ruth demanded furiously. mdp.39015063542685 Exactly what did you say to Borden and what did he say to you? ” The dancer hesitated for a moment, while Ruth held her breath.
mdp.39015063542685	Gees, ai n't ’ at enough for one trip? ” Micky grinned. mdp.39015063542685 Gun?
mdp.39015063542685	Has anything happened? ” Ruth asked, as she hung up hat and coat, and fluffed her golden curls before the wash- stand mirror. mdp.39015063542685 Have n't I answered it? ” Minnie was curiously trucu- lent.
mdp.39015063542685	Have you forgotten how to knock? ” Benny swung the door shut and slouched against it, sullenly defiant. mdp.39015063542685 He had me go to the bank to get it for him, as he was going to Winter Heaven man, and the immediate ime office?
mdp.39015063542685	Henry P. Borden's offices?
mdp.39015063542685	How about our own little tearoom? mdp.39015063542685 How dare you? ” Martha Manning gasped, struggling to release her hand.
mdp.39015063542685	How did Borden get in, Jake? ”Check, kid! ” and Jake touched his forehead in a salute to Ruth.
mdp.39015063542685	How do you know? ” “ I heard him talking with Miss Gilman over the tele- phone about the party, sir, ” the valet answered readily. mdp.39015063542685 How long before Miss Dubois rang for the elevator? ”"'At's what I do n't know- not exactly, ” Micky ad- mitted, flushing.
mdp.39015063542685	How soon after? mdp.39015063542685 I ask you again, Miss Manning — when was the last time you saw Harry Borden? ” McMann asked with angry im- patience.
mdp.39015063542685	I could n't have passed very close to you on the street without your seeing me? ” she persisted. mdp.39015063542685 I could n't say as to that, sir, except that the young gentleman left his briefcase and I hurried after him with it. ”"His briefcase, eh?
mdp.39015063542685	I did n't notice, sir. ”Did you see him reach for Miss Lester's handbag to put it there? ”"No, sir.
mdp.39015063542685	I had loo pale?
mdp.39015063542685	I had to come back to the office for something I'd forgot —"What was it?
mdp.39015063542685	I have never spoken a word to the man in my life. ”Is that so? ” McMann exclaimed triumphantly.
mdp.39015063542685	I suppose you checked your briefcase, Hayward?
mdp.39015063542685	I suppose you quarreled?
mdp.39015063542685	I suppose you yourself have an alibi for Saturday, Bailey? ” McMann changed tactics suddenly. mdp.39015063542685 I was wondering how you were going to get him back in here! ” “ Is that so? ”?
mdp.39015063542685	I was wondering how you were going to get him back in here! ” “ Is that so? ”? mdp.39015063542685 In quite a hurry to get away, were n't they, Phillips?"
mdp.39015063542685	Is it true, McMann, that the widow is under sus- picion? ” a reporter asked, when the photographers had finished. mdp.39015063542685 Is n't it true that you were more sore at him because he'd'got fresh'with Miss Lester Saturday morning? ” the detective suggested.
mdp.39015063542685	Is n't that the young man —? mdp.39015063542685 Jake Bailey? ” McMann cut in.
mdp.39015063542685	Jist what did the sweet- voiced lady say? mdp.39015063542685 Just exactly what hap- pened, Mrs. Borden?
mdp.39015063542685	Just like that, eh? mdp.39015063542685 Just picked you out blindly? ” Ruth asked skeptically.
mdp.39015063542685	Just what do you do there? ”I operate the switchboard.
mdp.39015063542685	Last Saturday, was n't it?
mdp.39015063542685	Letty Miller? ” McMann gave her an harassed, puzzled look. mdp.39015063542685 May I ask what it was? ”"Oh- nothing much,"the detective grinned.
mdp.39015063542685	Me picture in the papers? ” Minnie cried, as delighted as a child. mdp.39015063542685 Me? ” Benny's adolescent voice quavered and broke.
mdp.39015063542685	Nearly through? mdp.39015063542685 No, I left town on Friday night, like I told you. ”"But you were with Borden before you left? ”"Sure I was.
mdp.39015063542685	Now, Miss Lester- by the way, any re- lation to Colby Lester, the lawyer? ” Tears sprang into Ruth's eyes. mdp.39015063542685 Now- how the deuce, if the window was closed?"
mdp.39015063542685	Old home week for Handsome Harry's sweeties, n'est ce pas?
mdp.39015063542685	Old subconscious working at last?
mdp.39015063542685	One of those days when you were trailing Borden? mdp.39015063542685 Or had someone given her your name?"
mdp.39015063542685	Peeking to see what kind of lipstick I use? ” she laughed at him, when she left the teller's window. mdp.39015063542685 Perhaps there was something — beavy in the lining pocket which you did n't want the waiter to feel or see?
mdp.39015063542685	Ready for'em yet, sir?
mdp.39015063542685	Remem- ber you, child? ” he exclaimed cordially, taking her hand in both his. mdp.39015063542685 Say, what are you trying to do?
mdp.39015063542685	Seven years bad luck, you mean? mdp.39015063542685 Shall I leave the room, Mr. McMann? ” Ruth asked, THE BLACK PIGEON 139 ready to keep my bargain.
mdp.39015063542685	So you think you know who killed Borden, Ashe..., Well, who was it? ” McMann asked matter- of- factly. mdp.39015063542685 So you were dizzy with joy, eh? ” McMann grunted at last.
mdp.39015063542685	Sounds simply swell, do n't it? mdp.39015063542685 Stupid be- cause I've hit on the truth, and you do n't want to admit that you robbed the dead body of your husband?
mdp.39015063542685	Stupid, eh? ” he gasped, as he righted himself, without a glance at the dead man whose last movements he be- lieved he had imitated. mdp.39015063542685 That's likely, is n't it?
mdp.39015063542685	The check? mdp.39015063542685 The dancer from the Golden Slipper, eh? ” Ohad been onth, and he children, he THE BLACK PIGEON 57 “ Yes.
mdp.39015063542685	The strangest clause ever written into a last will and testament?
mdp.39015063542685	Then how do you account for your finger- prints on the door between? ” McMann sprung his trap. mdp.39015063542685 Then you believe that Rita killed Borden? ” McMann asked suddenly.
mdp.39015063542685	There was no gun in that brief- case, McMann. ”That's your story and you're going to stick to it, eh? ” McMann growled.
mdp.39015063542685	Trouble? mdp.39015063542685 Two forty- five curtain, eh?"
mdp.39015063542685	Well — what if I was?
mdp.39015063542685	Well — what of it?
mdp.39015063542685	Well, what was it? ” McMann demanded. mdp.39015063542685 Well?
mdp.39015063542685	Were you wearing such a shirt and tie on Friday night, Bailey? ” McMann demanded, and Ruth Lester knew from his frown that he was deeply chagrined. mdp.39015063542685 What are you doing, Benny? ” she demanded sharply.
mdp.39015063542685	What are you trying to do, you little devil?-arouse the building?—make them think I'm murdering you? ” Borden demanded furiously. mdp.39015063542685 What did Borden say when you gave him that threatening mes- sage?"
mdp.39015063542685	What do you think the police department has been do- ing all day, Rita? mdp.39015063542685 What is it, Birdwell?"
mdp.39015063542685	What is that big, square- shaped piece, Daddy?
mdp.39015063542685	What kept you so long? mdp.39015063542685 What kind of voice did she have, Minnie?
mdp.39015063542685	What next? mdp.39015063542685 What sort of voice?
mdp.39015063542685	What the devil-? ” Borden began furiously. mdp.39015063542685 What's happened here? ” Ruth Lester was still standing in the protective circle of Jack Hayward's arm.
mdp.39015063542685	What's the name of the woman who cleans Hayward's offices? mdp.39015063542685 When did you and Harry Borden become lovers and how long did the relationship last? ” McMann demanded.
mdp.39015063542685	When did you last see Henry Borden, Benny? ” the detective demanded sternly. mdp.39015063542685 When did you last see your employer? ”"Saturday morning, sir.
mdp.39015063542685	When she came back? ” McMann repeated triumph- antly. mdp.39015063542685 When was Borden killed, Doctor?
mdp.39015063542685	Where did you walk? mdp.39015063542685 Where shall we eat, darling?"
mdp.39015063542685	Where shall we eat? ” Jack asked in a strained, unnat- ural voice when they had reached the sidewalk. mdp.39015063542685 Where the devil is Covey?"
mdp.39015063542685	Where you going? mdp.39015063542685 Where's the gun now?
mdp.39015063542685	Which of you runs the elevator just across the hall?
mdp.39015063542685	Who can corroborate his story that he called you from the station at ten min- utes after two? mdp.39015063542685 Why'of course'? ” McMann demanded.
mdp.39015063542685	Why- what's up, Ruth? mdp.39015063542685 Wo n't you say you're glad, Benny? ” Ruth coaxed tenderly.
mdp.39015063542685	Yes? mdp.39015063542685 Yes? ” Jack wheeled, swinging Ruth's slight little body with his, not dropping his arm.
mdp.39015063542685	Yes? ” Ruth could not trust herself to say more. mdp.39015063542685 You admit that? ” McMann demanded.
mdp.39015063542685	You cleaned these offices on Satur- day, Minnie?
mdp.39015063542685	You did n't have any other passenger dur- ing those ten minutes, Otto?
mdp.39015063542685	You did n't shoot him when you come back, did you, Miss Lester? mdp.39015063542685 You identify this woman? ”"Sure I know her!
mdp.39015063542685	You mean you followed him about? ” McMann pounced. mdp.39015063542685 You mean — what did I do Saturday afternoon? ” Benny was obviously stalling for time.
mdp.39015063542685	You recognize Miss Manning? ” McMann asked quickly. mdp.39015063542685 You recognize this letter?
mdp.39015063542685	You wo n't oblige me? ” McMann asked cheerfully. mdp.39015063542685 You'd made her sit down because she was feeling faint, had n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	You're going to work tomorrow? ” Ruth asked slowly. mdp.39015063542685 You're not mad at me any more, Ramon? ” she asked, in such a wistful little- girl voice that tears stung Ruth's eyelids.
mdp.39015063542685	'Douse the glim?
mdp.39015063542685	'” “ What else? ” McMann demanded.
mdp.39015063542685	.. Dr. Nielson's just leaving?
mdp.39015063542685	.. What do you mean- Borden? ” he demanded of Ruth, in an odd, con- strained voice, as the waiter was removing Ruth's dish of melted ice cream.
mdp.39015063542685	... And may I have a kiss to make up for all I'm going to suffer at your hands in the future?
mdp.39015063542685	... And send me over two or three plainclothes men, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	... Any news, Birdwell?
mdp.39015063542685	... Do you remember now? ” Martha Manning seemed suddenly to get control of her tortured nerves.
mdp.39015063542685	... From your intimacy with Borden, do you know of any one who had threatened his life, or of whom he was actually afraid? ” Cleo laughed.
mdp.39015063542685	... Had Jack furiously delivered an THE BLACK PIGEON 49 ultimatum to Borden about her?
mdp.39015063542685	... No?
mdp.39015063542685	... Oh, back Monday or Tuesday morning, hunh?
mdp.39015063542685	... Oh, how could he?
mdp.39015063542685	... What have you done to yourself?
mdp.39015063542685	... What's that?
mdp.39015063542685	... You're getting samples of blood from those pigeon footprints outside and inside, are n't you, Doc?
mdp.39015063542685	..."Any trouble between you and Borden, Miss Lester?"
mdp.39015063542685	..."Are n't you going to eat? ” Jack asked, a little stiffly.
mdp.39015063542685	..."How dare you mention that woman's name to me?"
mdp.39015063542685	..."Where are you going, Ruth? ” Jack demanded, harshly.
mdp.39015063542685	..."You said you would return about half past one? ” Mc- Mann pressed.
mdp.39015063542685	142 THE BLACK PIGEON"Oh, do n't you see? ” Ruth implored.
mdp.39015063542685	148 THE BLACK PIGEON Her fear was confirmed when McMann asked, smiling twistedly:"You're sure he told you that Saturday after- noon, Rita?
mdp.39015063542685	170 THE BLACK PIGEON"Any conversation between Bailey and Borden about the woman, that you overheard? ” McMann demanded, when the valet paused.
mdp.39015063542685	236 THE BLACK PIGEON"A former- mistress, you mean, do n't you? ” McMann asked bluntly.
mdp.39015063542685	46 THE BLACK PIGEON"Mr. Hayward?
mdp.39015063542685	73 74 THE BLACK PIGEON Saturday, led out the itting at myand I explan the “ When? ” McMann barked.
mdp.39015063542685	A- reading of it the poor man was, his face as black as a thunder- cloud, smiled, “ but sten, Minnie, Mr. Borden sed letter?
mdp.39015063542685	About ten minutes of two that was, I believe?"
mdp.39015063542685	After the twelve- thirty to one- thirty rush, sir, I should say. ”"Did you notice them particularly, Phillips?
mdp.39015063542685	Ai n't that right, Miss Ruth? ”"Rose is a little beauty, ” Ruth admitted, as heartily as weariness and discouragement would permit.
mdp.39015063542685	Am I right, fair frail? ” Benny concluded, with an impudence he had never been interested enough to show her before.
mdp.39015063542685	And I love you, no matter what,""Will he let us listen, do you think?"
mdp.39015063542685	And can you tell me any more defin- itely when death occurred?
mdp.39015063542685	And closed the windows, I suppose, as your duty requires you to do?"
mdp.39015063542685	And do n't put out anything, see?
mdp.39015063542685	And he swore he'd kill'that beast'if he laid hands on Miss Lester again, did n't he? ” Cowan mopped his glistening forehead again.
mdp.39015063542685	And he was closer,'cause he camiddle of the, Mr. Bor THE 1 BLACK PIGEON 175 yelled out,'Then what the devil are you hangin'around here for?
mdp.39015063542685	And how long had they been there when the entrees were served? ” McMann prodded.
mdp.39015063542685	And how long? ”"I had lunch first- milk and fruit and rolls- in my THE BLACK PIGEON 259 ing lady would be caly, the compleasant; t from Irehen?"
mdp.39015063542685	And how long? ”"I had lunch first- milk and fruit and rolls- in my THE BLACK PIGEON 259 ing lady would be caly, the compleasant; t from Irehen?"
mdp.39015063542685	And jokingly told him not to call up the stores and limit the charge accounts he was opening for her. ”"And what did Borden say?"
mdp.39015063542685	And make it snappy- hear? ” Borden passed into his private office, but almost im- mediately reappeared.
mdp.39015063542685	And say, Doc, phone me as soon as you extract the bullet, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	And say, what have you done to your hair? ”"Nothing- but turn it loose! ” Ruth laughed.
mdp.39015063542685	And where is your gun?
mdp.39015063542685	And you were after a cup to give her a drink, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063542685	Any mail for the future President of the United States?"
mdp.39015063542685	Anything at all to fix this couple in your mind? ” McMann pursued.
mdp.39015063542685	Anything at all unusual about it? ” Minnie Cassidy reached out and patted Ruth's hand, as if to console her for McMann's sharpness.
mdp.39015063542685	Anything else you need?"
mdp.39015063542685	Anything unusual? ” Mc- Mann rapped out.
mdp.39015063542685	Are n't you going to give me — and the boy — a Christmas present?'
mdp.39015063542685	Are those substantially the words you heard before you hung up the receiver? ” The harassed real estate man mopped his brow again.
mdp.39015063542685	Are you crazy?
mdp.39015063542685	Are you super- stitious? ” Ruth shivered.
mdp.39015063542685	As you waited for the elevator to take you down, I had ample time to note — with some amusement-your taste in shirts and cravats. ” Is that so?"
mdp.39015063542685	At what time did Hay- ward return to his office? ”"He did n't so far as I know! ” Micky Moran retorted.
mdp.39015063542685	Be a good infant and get me some water for my sponge, and sharpen a bunch of pencils, wo n't you? ”"Say! ” Benny sputtered.
mdp.39015063542685	Been shooting craps in the alley again?"
mdp.39015063542685	Been sick all day, Benny?
mdp.39015063542685	Been to the movies and got a few hot tips on how to vamp your boss?
mdp.39015063542685	Benny dear, what is the matter?"
mdp.39015063542685	Borden struck her on the mouth? ” McMann prompted impatiently.
mdp.39015063542685	Borden was very attentive to a Miss Gilman- Cleo Gil- man. ”"Were they lovers? ” McMann asked bluntly.
mdp.39015063542685	Borden's life? ”"I do!
mdp.39015063542685	Borden, why did you come to see your husband this morning? ” Mrs. Borden raised a shaking hand and passed it over her dazed eyes.
mdp.39015063542685	Borden?"
mdp.39015063542685	But Jack, who did?
mdp.39015063542685	But have you no- ticed how the little white pigeon adores him?
mdp.39015063542685	But her prayer was being answered, and what did it matter that it was only a dream?
mdp.39015063542685	But if it had not gone into the waste- basket and been taken out, with the rest of the papers, by Minnie Cassidy, where was it now?
mdp.39015063542685	But if she was here Saturday, how could she have managed both her entrance and exit without being seen by any one?
mdp.39015063542685	But let's suppose that Benny did come back Saturday afternoon — a second time, I mean. ”"To murder Mr. Borden? ” Ruth asked scornfully.
mdp.39015063542685	But to go back a little Was Mr. Borden in this office when you came to clean, and at what time did you come in here?"
mdp.39015063542685	But when I entered my office the phone was ringing and I answered it, of course. ” And talked ten minutes?
mdp.39015063542685	But who, how and why?
mdp.39015063542685	But why had Rita come back into that death room to close the window?
mdp.39015063542685	But — who?
mdp.39015063542685	But — why had n't he explained then?
mdp.39015063542685	But, Lord, all men talk like that about the women they're through with! ”"Who was the woman you took him away from? ” Mc- Mann persisted.
mdp.39015063542685	By the way, Captain, any report on Borden's manservant, Ashe, yet?
mdp.39015063542685	By the way, you were still living with Harry Borden when he took these offices three years ago, were n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	Ca n't say I blame him — why!-what-? ” Ruth turned in the little swivel chair and faced the girl who had announced herself so nonchalantly.
mdp.39015063542685	Ca n't you see that it is n't fair to Jack to convict him in your own mind until you've talked with Rita Dubois?
mdp.39015063542685	Clay, eh?
mdp.39015063542685	Covey?"
mdp.39015063542685	Cowan could not have had time to go after it before Rita arrived, or if he had had time, how could he have got in?
mdp.39015063542685	Crying?
mdp.39015063542685	Did Borden stand up a swell frail like you?'
mdp.39015063542685	Did Miss Lester or Mr. Hayward seem upset or worried, or anything out of the ordinary? ” Micky considered.
mdp.39015063542685	Did Rita and Borden quarrel?
mdp.39015063542685	Did she ask you? ”"She- saw it there,"Ruth said faintly, reaching out dizzily for the desk.
mdp.39015063542685	Did she come? ” McMann asked, busily taking notes.
mdp.39015063542685	Did she say where she was going?
mdp.39015063542685	Did you bring it in with you? ” At Ruth's cry of anguish the office boy had raised his terror- stricken eyes to search her face.
mdp.39015063542685	Did you see him? ” Jack frowned, then poured himself a cup of coffee with a hand that trembled slightly.
mdp.39015063542685	Did you spill it? ” he demanded of Ruth.
mdp.39015063542685	Did you talk with her? ”"Not when I brought her up, ” Micky answered the last question first.
mdp.39015063542685	Did you try the door when you left, to see if it was locked? ” She waited breathlessly for his answer.
mdp.39015063542685	Did you use the key Borden had given you? ” Ruth gasped her surprise, and the dancer, apparently, was no less startled.
mdp.39015063542685	Do I have to say it in so many words?
mdp.39015063542685	Do I have to stay in here, boss?
mdp.39015063542685	Do n't you know you've got to save money now?
mdp.39015063542685	Do n't you see how likely it is that it was Rita Dubois who — who last saw Mr. Borden alive?
mdp.39015063542685	Do n't you see?
mdp.39015063542685	Do n't you think I know that if it had n't been for you I'd be in jail tonight, instead of holding my own darling girl in my arms? ” Jack pleaded.
mdp.39015063542685	Do n't you — understand? ”"Do what?
mdp.39015063542685	Do n't you — understand? ”"Do what?
mdp.39015063542685	Do you hear?
mdp.39015063542685	Do you know what he had on him Saturday?
mdp.39015063542685	Do you like Ruth Lester herself? ” Benny rose slowly from Ruth's chair, then lifted a crooked elbow as if to ward her off.
mdp.39015063542685	Do you think he'll starve to death before Monday?
mdp.39015063542685	Do you understand now, Miss Lester? ” Ruth raised her trembling hands to her face, pressed her icy finger- tips into her throbbing temples.
mdp.39015063542685	Feeling better? ” she asked, as she helped Harry Borden's wife to the little swivel chair and forced her gently down into it.
mdp.39015063542685	Get my point? ”"I'm afraid I do n't! ” Jack retorted furiously.
mdp.39015063542685	Good?
mdp.39015063542685	Guess it was just as bad when you got a job with a single man, was n't it, Ruth?
mdp.39015063542685	Had Jack seen Borden across the airshaft?
mdp.39015063542685	Had McMann, whose ability she was be- ginning to respect as much as she feared it, arrived at the same conclusion?
mdp.39015063542685	Had they quarreled then, so that Jack's fury became insanity?
mdp.39015063542685	Harry was payin'me a good sal’ry to pertect him, was n't he?
mdp.39015063542685	Has Nielson gone?
mdp.39015063542685	Has anything happened to Harry?
mdp.39015063542685	Have you found a weapon? ” McMann indicated the floor of the room with a wave of his hand.
mdp.39015063542685	Have you personal knowledge of Miss Manning's guilt? ”"Personal knowledge- hell! ” the ex- pugilist retorted.
mdp.39015063542685	Have you photographed this win- dow for finger- prints?
mdp.39015063542685	Hayward, you say you and Miss Lester lunched at the McAlpin?
mdp.39015063542685	He came and — and let me in. ”"Was your husband glad to see you? ” McMann shot at her.
mdp.39015063542685	He did open the door- wide, as I had hoped, and before he could prevent me I slipped in. ”"Glad to see you? ” McMann cut in sarcastically.
mdp.39015063542685	He had told me about her, said he was through with her —""Did he mention Miss Gilman Saturday afternoon?"
mdp.39015063542685	He knew who she was, but he did n't mention her name. ”"Ever hear her voice before? ” McMann was instantly alert.
mdp.39015063542685	He listened for a moment, THE BLACK PIGEON 229 have you done to yourself, darling?
mdp.39015063542685	He said Miss Dubois would dine with him. ”"Where were you Saturday afternoon, Ashe? ” McMann pounced suddenly.
mdp.39015063542685	He talked about her to me, and when she came to the office it was easy to see that he was in love with her. ”"And she with him?"
mdp.39015063542685	He was to go away for —"“ The boy's address? ” McMann demanded, pencil poised.
mdp.39015063542685	He's still in that vacant suite, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063542685	High, low, harsh, soft? ” som i d.
mdp.39015063542685	Honest- ow! ”"What the devil —? ” McMann sprang to his feet, as the boy's howl of fear followed upon an eerie sound.
mdp.39015063542685	How are you, my dear? ”"Well, and very happy, ” Ruth answered steadily.
mdp.39015063542685	How could she have forgotten that the old man had muttered threats against Borden's life?
mdp.39015063542685	How could she, even for a moment have believed her man was guilty of murder?
mdp.39015063542685	How did he happen to give you the other half of the five hundred dollar bill?
mdp.39015063542685	How did you get in?
mdp.39015063542685	How do you account for this, Miss Manning? ” The woman raised her head, and with tight- clapsed hands, fought a moment for self- control.
mdp.39015063542685	How do you account for your sudden change of heart? ” The great, dark eyes suddenly looked utterly weary.
mdp.39015063542685	How do you know that he did not give the money to some one before his death? ”"He gave Mrs. Borden a check! ” Ruth flashed.
mdp.39015063542685	How should I? ”"Then let me remind you, ” McMann retorted.
mdp.39015063542685	How's the baby, by the way?
mdp.39015063542685	How?
mdp.39015063542685	I ai n't sayin'he was in his office or he was n't in his office, because I did n't follow him- see?
mdp.39015063542685	I bite: when did you see it last?"
mdp.39015063542685	I could reach him in no other way. ”"And when did you write your last letter to your for- mer lover? ” McMann persisted.
mdp.39015063542685	I dealt with him as tactfully as I could — ”"Tact and efficiency are your long suits, are n't they, child? ” Borden smiled.
mdp.39015063542685	I did come back, but nobody did n't see me,'cause I walked up. ”"Why did you walk up, Benny? ” McMann interrupted.
mdp.39015063542685	I guess they all tried to'make you, did n't they?"
mdp.39015063542685	I hope you both enjoyed the show?"
mdp.39015063542685	I just could n't get over how different Miss Lester looked, and I kept tellin'her som ”"Different? ” McMann pounced.
mdp.39015063542685	I keep forgetting that the gun is in there""Gun? ” Mrs. Borden quavered, shrinking away from the drawer, her hand going to her throat.
mdp.39015063542685	I kept it with me- my overcoat also. ”"Not taking any chances on the check room girl's curiosity, were you? ” McMann insinuated.
mdp.39015063542685	I presume it is murder?
mdp.39015063542685	I said,'My God, Harry, do you know what time it is, or have you forgot you were to catch a train at 2:15?'
mdp.39015063542685	I sup- pose you know he had a bodyguard?
mdp.39015063542685	I suppose no one besides you and Miss Barnes has a key? ” Jack shook his head, then grinned.
mdp.39015063542685	I was closin'the drawer of Miss Lester's desk, and he thought I was her,'cause he called out,'That you, Miss Lester?'
mdp.39015063542685	I was in a hurry to rejoin Mr. Hayward — ”"Moran, your car was down at the main floor all the time you were waiting for Miss Lester, was n't it?
mdp.39015063542685	I wo n't have to tell the police, will I, Jack?
mdp.39015063542685	I wonder if Mr. Borden will be here about half past one? ” Ruth agreed eagerly.
mdp.39015063542685	I wonder if they'll recognize me?
mdp.39015063542685	I'm going to invite you to my wedding. ”"Hayward? ” the commissioner repeated, his eyes going cold again.
mdp.39015063542685	I'm sorry THE BLACK PIGEON... What name shall I say?
mdp.39015063542685	I'm surprised at you, Hayward! ” corrobore likely to remerch?
mdp.39015063542685	I- demanded that he marry me, so that our son might bear his father's name. ” “ What do you mean — could not?"
mdp.39015063542685	If you mean Jack Hayward when you say'his mur- derer,'how could Jack possibly have retrieved my pistol on Saturday?
mdp.39015063542685	If, as McMann seemed to believe, Rita Dubois had robbed his dead body, why should she also steal a letter writ- ten to Borden by another woman?
mdp.39015063542685	If, as you say, it was only ten after two when you returned, what was your hurry? ”"I was not in a hurry, ” Jack contradicted.
mdp.39015063542685	Is God's gift to women in his office?
mdp.39015063542685	Is it because I have no crumbs to give you, greedy? ” The black pigeon stood still and studied the girl, his graceful head cocked consideringly.
mdp.39015063542685	Is n't it ridiculous — my having a pistol?
mdp.39015063542685	Is n't that more like it? ” McMann interrupted.
mdp.39015063542685	Is n't that true? ”"No! ”"You deny then, Miss Manning, that you have ever threatened Harry.
mdp.39015063542685	Is that right? ”"I did n't pay no attention, I tell ye! ” Minnie repeated stubbornly.
mdp.39015063542685	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063542685	Is that the truth, Cowan?
mdp.39015063542685	Is that true? ” The pale face quivered, but the leaf- brown eyes were steady.
mdp.39015063542685	Is this Minnie Cassidy? ” 179 180 THE BLACK PIGEON lot ofann?
mdp.39015063542685	Is this Minnie Cassidy? ” 179 180 THE BLACK PIGEON lot ofann?
mdp.39015063542685	Is this any time to conceal that knowledge from me?
mdp.39015063542685	It was closed when you arrived, Miss Lester? ” and he whirled toward Ruth, who was standing beside Jack Hayward in the doorway.
mdp.39015063542685	It's a rule of the build- ing that no windows are to be left open over night. ”"Think the woman cleaned, do you? ” McMann shot at her.
mdp.39015063542685	It's closest —"What did it matter now?
mdp.39015063542685	It's — can you keep a secret, Benny?
mdp.39015063542685	Just tell her she's wanted at her husband's of- fice, see?
mdp.39015063542685	Just what seems to be the trouble? ”"Who wants to know? ” the office boy countered in a quavering, belligerent voice.
mdp.39015063542685	Just what seems to be the trouble? ”"Who wants to know? ” the office boy countered in a quavering, belligerent voice.
mdp.39015063542685	Just where was this gun? ” McMann cut in.
mdp.39015063542685	Keep an eye on this couple for me, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	Knocked out, she was, sir. ” “ What did she look like- hair, eyes, complexion, clothes? ” McMann rapped out, thoroughly interested at last.
mdp.39015063542685	Letty, maybe if us girls ’ ud take off our specs we'd catch us a beau, too, eh? ” and Minnie cackled shrill mirth at the idea.
mdp.39015063542685	Listen, Minnie, and try hard to remember: when you were emptying Mr. Borden's wastebasket, did you notice an orchid- or lavender- colored letter?
mdp.39015063542685	Love me?
mdp.39015063542685	Made it Saturday morning when he was in your office- remember? ”"Yes, ” Jack answered quietly.
mdp.39015063542685	Married man hires you — and who would n't?
mdp.39015063542685	Maybe I'll take you some night- hmm?
mdp.39015063542685	McMann considered, then:"Now, Mrs. Borden, was there anything at all unusual in Mr. Borden's manner? ” Again that wave of scarlet.
mdp.39015063542685	McMann demanded “ You?
mdp.39015063542685	Miss Dubois has a private phone and I do n't know her address. ”"Got that, Rand?
mdp.39015063542685	Mr. Adams had been in a slump""Quarrel? ” McMann tapped impatiently with his pencil.
mdp.39015063542685	Mr. Hayward with her?"
mdp.39015063542685	My husband_murdered?
mdp.39015063542685	My salary, exclusive of my room rent, is ten dollars a week. ”"And your hours on duty? ”"From six in the morning until half past eleven.
mdp.39015063542685	No?
mdp.39015063542685	Not at Borden's apartment, eh?
mdp.39015063542685	Not going to try to take that five 2 thousand away from a poor, hard- working detective, are you? ” McMann grinned.
mdp.39015063542685	Now how about it, Rita? ” THE BLACK PIGEON 149 The red splotch on the dancer's throat extended to her face, suffused it.
mdp.39015063542685	Now what did ye want to know, Tommy McMann?
mdp.39015063542685	Now what happened on Christmas Eve? ”"Mr. Borden came home about six o'clock to dress for dinner, and Mr. Bailey was with him."
mdp.39015063542685	Now, Ashe, how long had you been with Mr. Borden? ”"Ten months, sir."
mdp.39015063542685	Now, do n't that beat all?
mdp.39015063542685	Now- look at that section of the puzzle, little Miss Sher- lock: which piece does n't fit? ” Ruth smiled bravely, trying to meet his mood.
mdp.39015063542685	Of course whoever took the five hundred in smaller bills might have taken the useless torn half —"?
mdp.39015063542685	Of course you know you're not to leave town until this thing is cleared up?"
mdp.39015063542685	Oh, Captain, any report yet on Cleo Gilman?
mdp.39015063542685	Oh, God, why had the architect set two windows exactly opposite each other, so terribly close?
mdp.39015063542685	Oh, you're being cruel and stupid- stupid! ” “ Stupid, am I? ” McMann flushed darkly.
mdp.39015063542685	Old man Cohen- wholesale shoes. ”"Any other passengers for the seventh floor Saturday afternoon? ” McMann demanded impatiently.
mdp.39015063542685	Or did you hear one?"
mdp.39015063542685	Or- or is it'Handsome Harry'? ” And the boy's freckled face turned a sudden dull crimson.
mdp.39015063542685	Pale? ”"Gees!
mdp.39015063542685	Pin something on me?
mdp.39015063542685	Pretty heavy, was it, Phillips?
mdp.39015063542685	Pretty soon —* “ How long?"
mdp.39015063542685	Probably he handed it to her when she returned to the table, sir. ”"Do you think so? ” McMann grinned.
mdp.39015063542685	Rather a neat coincidence, eh?
mdp.39015063542685	Remember?
mdp.39015063542685	Right, Ferber? ”"You might be if there were any finger- prints,"Ferber grinned.
mdp.39015063542685	Right, darling?
mdp.39015063542685	Right? ”"That ’s correct, ” Jack retorted curtly.
mdp.39015063542685	Say, Chief, guess who Borden's private secretary was?
mdp.39015063542685	See any one you knew? ” McMann asked sarcastically.
mdp.39015063542685	See how yellow it is?
mdp.39015063542685	See? ” McMann persisted, but without triumph.
mdp.39015063542685	Send her in to me, wo n't you, Minnie?"
mdp.39015063542685	Seven minutes?
mdp.39015063542685	Shall we go out to Scarsdale with Cowan next Sunday and look at the lots?
mdp.39015063542685	She must have been watching and waiting for her opportunity~""She?
mdp.39015063542685	She never called again when I was here. ” 136 THE BLACK PIGEON"You sure of that?
mdp.39015063542685	She's like a ghost, is n't she, dear?
mdp.39015063542685	Sides stuffed out?"
mdp.39015063542685	Snap embering, mash your memoirst?
mdp.39015063542685	So ye're a detective sergeant now?
mdp.39015063542685	Spell that out, will you?
mdp.39015063542685	Stupid, because I've found the explanation of that closed window?
mdp.39015063542685	Sure she was n't the woman who called him Saturday morning and would n't leave her name? ” McMann prodded.
mdp.39015063542685	THE BLACK PIGEON 253"And did Borden later intimate to you that he feared this woman would kill him?"
mdp.39015063542685	Tell Clay not to spill the beans, see?
mdp.39015063542685	Ten minutes? ” McMann suggested impatiently.
mdp.39015063542685	That is absolutely the last time I saw the thing. ”"Used one towel all week, eh? ” McMann sneered.
mdp.39015063542685	That is correct, is n't it, Phillips? ”"Yes, miss.
mdp.39015063542685	That right, Ferber? ”"Yes.
mdp.39015063542685	That right?
mdp.39015063542685	That right? ”"Not exactly, ” Jack answered evenly.
mdp.39015063542685	That was in the pantry, right off the dining room ”"But you did hear the woman's voice? ” McMann inter- rupted.
mdp.39015063542685	That you, Captain?
mdp.39015063542685	That's correct, is n't it, Mister Bailey? ” The man glared at her.
mdp.39015063542685	That's only the cat's saucer and it was cracked anyway... Now, what's Tommy McMann been up to?
mdp.39015063542685	That's right, is n't it?
mdp.39015063542685	That's true, is n't it? ”"No! ” The denial rang out sharply, then, in a voice that quivered and broke with emotion:"I loved him.
mdp.39015063542685	That's true, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063542685	That's why I went to him. ”"That so? ” McMann's little, squinted gray eyes studied the pair in the doorway.
mdp.39015063542685	That, Infant? ” She distinctly heard his beloved, famil- iar chuckle.
mdp.39015063542685	The boys did n't find a gun in either place?
mdp.39015063542685	The line? ” A Minnie Cashe had been hout.
mdp.39015063542685	The long arm of coincidence, of course, but was n't real life full of just such amazing coinci- dences?
mdp.39015063542685	The-- the McAlpin Hotel?
mdp.39015063542685	Then she rose, wasmaht? ” Ruth a cork I'll spankmake two of all, I got ta THE BLACK PIGEON dram went to him.
mdp.39015063542685	Then, when she had finished, he asked slowly:"What about Saturday night or Sunday?
mdp.39015063542685	Then, with the suddenness of a cat pouncing upon a mouse: “ What did you do with the gun, Rita?
mdp.39015063542685	Then, “ So you were among the first arrivals, eh?
mdp.39015063542685	Then,"Was Borden in the habit of carrying bills of large de- nomination? ”"He was, he was! ” Ruth replied in an eager, breathless whisper.
mdp.39015063542685	Then:"Did this Jake have a key to the offices, Miss Lester? ” Ruth shook her head.
mdp.39015063542685	Then:"I suppose Borden helped you look for the paste tube, Rita? ” The girl flushed.
mdp.39015063542685	They are insidious, are n't they?
mdp.39015063542685	They lunched at one of my tables in the McAlpin dining room Saturday. ”"At what time? ” The waiter shrugged slightly and smiled apologetically.
mdp.39015063542685	They noticed nothing —""And where are the guns now? ” McMann demanded.
mdp.39015063542685	Took your time, did n't you, Mother Machree? ” Minnie Cassidy's work- roughened hands plucked nerv- ously at the baggy front of her calico dress.
mdp.39015063542685	Understand? ” When the door had closed upon the elevator boys, Mc- Mann faced Jack Hayward, his eyes narrowed to glinting gray slits.
mdp.39015063542685	Unless — what?"
mdp.39015063542685	Wanta see, girlie? ”"No,"Ruth shuddered, warding off the proffered sheet with a trembling hand.
mdp.39015063542685	Was Betty ill then? ”"Oh, no, she was quite well then, but Betty is delicate, easily upset.
mdp.39015063542685	Was it? ”"Just a minute, Miss Lester!"
mdp.39015063542685	Was n't it Saturday morning or Friday eve- ning? ”"It was Saturday afternoon, ” Rita replied stubbornly.
mdp.39015063542685	Was that the action of a guilty man?
mdp.39015063542685	We ai n't been on this job thirty hours yet,'he says, and the 277 280 THE BLACK PIGEON"Nothing to Martha Manning's child? ” Ruth inter- rupted.
mdp.39015063542685	Weeks? ” she faltered, trying to make her trembling lips smile naturally.
mdp.39015063542685	What 38 THE BLACK PIGEON 39 had happened?
mdp.39015063542685	What about that?"
mdp.39015063542685	What am I to do?
mdp.39015063542685	What are you lookin'for in Miss Lester's desk?'
mdp.39015063542685	What brings ye here? ” Minnie greeted the girl.
mdp.39015063542685	What do you mean? ” The elevator operator chuckled.
mdp.39015063542685	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063542685	What easier than to snatch his automatic from the drawer of his desk and fire at Borden, drawn to his own window by the quarrel?
mdp.39015063542685	What happened? ” The dancer's hands gripped each other so tightly that a knuckle cracked.
mdp.39015063542685	What has happened?"
mdp.39015063542685	What if he should only like and feel congenial with her mind, and fail, because of her disguise, to love her as a man must love the woman he marries?
mdp.39015063542685	What is it? ” as his subordinate appeared in the doorway.
mdp.39015063542685	What is the matter? ”"Nothing's the matter! ” Jack Hayward denied, with peculiar emphasis.
mdp.39015063542685	What key? ” McMann demanded, his eyes taking quick note of Ruth's startled surprise.
mdp.39015063542685	What of it? ” McMann demanded impatiently.
mdp.39015063542685	What shall I write him? ”.
mdp.39015063542685	What the hell are you talking about? ” Rita al- most screamed, in a fear- roughened voice.
mdp.39015063542685	What time Saturday afternoon did you bring him up?"
mdp.39015063542685	What time is it?'
mdp.39015063542685	What t’ell do I need with an alibi? ” Jake splut- tered.
mdp.39015063542685	What's her telephone number, Miss Lester?
mdp.39015063542685	What's that? ”"Flashlights, ” Ruth informed her, behind hands she had flung up to cover her face.
mdp.39015063542685	What's the dope on this Gilman dame?
mdp.39015063542685	What's the dope?
mdp.39015063542685	What's the last address you have, Miss Lester?
mdp.39015063542685	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063542685	What's this about you and Borden?
mdp.39015063542685	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063542685	What's your name? ”"Michael Dennis Moran, ” Micky answered automati- cally, then: “ Gees!
mdp.39015063542685	What- oh, what had happened?
mdp.39015063542685	When I had found it I left the office and rejoined Miss Lester at the hotel. ”"At what time?"
mdp.39015063542685	When did Borden come in Sat- urday? ”"About ten, as usual.
mdp.39015063542685	When did Mr. Hayward leave?
mdp.39015063542685	When did Rita leave? ”"Shortly after Mrs. Borden- about five minutes, ” Ruth answered.
mdp.39015063542685	When did the curtain go up?"
mdp.39015063542685	When did you bring her up and what happened, that you know of?
mdp.39015063542685	When did you get here?
mdp.39015063542685	Where are you going to live, now that Borden is dead? ”"Back to the Mills Hotel for Jake, I guess, ” the ex- pugilist admitted ruefully.
mdp.39015063542685	Where was that letter now?
mdp.39015063542685	Where're your specs?
mdp.39015063542685	Where's Benny? ”"Gone to the postoffice for stamps, ” Ruth answered.
mdp.39015063542685	Where's the gun?
mdp.39015063542685	Which table? ” Jack answered concisely, coolly, but Ruth, who had re- · turned to his side, tightened her hands convulsively about his rigid arm.
mdp.39015063542685	Which theater?
mdp.39015063542685	Who are you, to tell Harry Borden what he can do and ca n't do?'
mdp.39015063542685	Who could say how Rita's mind would function after she had killed Borden?
mdp.39015063542685	Who was that chap that came in this morn- ing, all het up over losing money on some of my stock? ” he asked suddenly.
mdp.39015063542685	Who was the girl? ” McMann was heavily sarcastic.
mdp.39015063542685	Who?
mdp.39015063542685	Who?"
mdp.39015063542685	Why as- sume that he had aimed at someone in Jack's window?
mdp.39015063542685	Why could n't she have seen the pistol while you were searching for the printed matter you wanted to give her?"
mdp.39015063542685	Why did n't I think of that before?
mdp.39015063542685	Why did n't he wait until you were in Winter Heaven?
mdp.39015063542685	Why did n't you come to work this morning?"
mdp.39015063542685	Why give her the benefit of the doubt, when you've been so ruthless with Mrs. Borden, Jack and myself?
mdp.39015063542685	Why had n't she stepped to Borden's window and called across the airshaft to Jack, screamed at him until he answered?
mdp.39015063542685	Why not make in- quiries yourself?
mdp.39015063542685	Why not?
mdp.39015063542685	Why suppose Rita had told the truth?
mdp.39015063542685	Why the devil did n't she come earlier in the morning?
mdp.39015063542685	Why try to fit Jack's gun into any theory of the murder?
mdp.39015063542685	Why?
mdp.39015063542685	Why? ” McMann's tall, big body teetered slowly back and forth on its heels as his hard gray eyes met and held those horror- filled brown ones.
mdp.39015063542685	Will you please tell me exactly what happened?"
mdp.39015063542685	With the others at one o'clock?"
mdp.39015063542685	With your own latchkey? ” Humiliation flooded the woman's face with scarlet.
mdp.39015063542685	Wo n't you be glad to see him?
mdp.39015063542685	Wo n't you please grant me one more favor?
mdp.39015063542685	Wo n't you promise not to arrest Jack before five o'clock today?
mdp.39015063542685	Wo n't you step in, please? ” and McMann held the door wide.
mdp.39015063542685	Would he be so stupid as to try to convince himself that Rita Du- bois had stolen it, too, along with the money on Borden's body?
mdp.39015063542685	Would you mind going up alone? ” Ruth found Minnie Cassidy puttering about a disor- dered kitchen.
mdp.39015063542685	Ye've took your specs off, ai n't you, dearie?
mdp.39015063542685	You admit you wrote it? ” There was no need for an answer, and Martha Manning made none.
mdp.39015063542685	You ai n't gone and got engaged, have you, Ruth?
mdp.39015063542685	You are the priceless pearl of a secretary, are n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	You can laugh, ca n't you?"
mdp.39015063542685	You checked his bank statements for him, I suppose? ”"Yes.
mdp.39015063542685	You could n't have heard a shot if one had been fired on the seventh floor?
mdp.39015063542685	You did n't take it home, did you, to have it out of reach, in case —? ”"No! ” Jack denied, his hands tight upon hers.
mdp.39015063542685	You do n't acshully think I killed Mr. Borden, do you, mister? ”"Please, Mr. McMann! ” Ruth begged.
mdp.39015063542685	You knew all along that Hayward had a gun in the bottom drawer of his desk, I suppose? ”"No.
mdp.39015063542685	You know damned well I'll get the goods on him anyway —""Then why should I do your work for you? ” Rita re- torted insolently.
mdp.39015063542685	You know that, do n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	You laid your plans to kill Borden? ”"No! ” Again that flashing denial.
mdp.39015063542685	You own a gun yourself, do n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	You promised then to pay for his board and tuition, but"Finished? ” McMann grunted at Ruth, and, as she nodded mutely, he turned the sheet over.
mdp.39015063542685	You run the car nearest Hayward's office, do n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	You say she called Borden at ten o'clock Saturday morn- ing? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063542685	You went down for the stuff, eh, because the bootlegger was behind on his Christmas deliveries? ”"Why, yes, sir, ” the valet assented, surprised.
mdp.39015063542685	You'd have been pretty sure that your friend, Jack Hayward, was in trouble, would n't you?"
mdp.39015063542685	You're going to have Letty Miller in for further questioning, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063542685	You're going to the scene of the crime tomorrow morning, I suppose? ”"Me? ” Ruth laughed shakily.
mdp.39015063542685	You're going to the scene of the crime tomorrow morning, I suppose? ”"Me? ” Ruth laughed shakily.
mdp.39015063542685	Your last warning, was n't it, Miss Manning?"
mdp.39015063542685	and Mrs. H. P. Benton,'eh?
mdp.39015063542685	htly led eiredly: Dubois womaan item of blown 98 THE BLACK PIGEON in yet?
mdp.39015063542685	member Tim was always bragging about his girl child — ”"Baby? ” Minnie cackled.
mdp.39015063542685	of the door?
mdp.39015063542685	· Detective Birdwell interrupted the whispered confer- 146 THE BLACK PIGEON minutes after two?
mdp.39015063542685	’ At right? ”"Right! ” Ruth agreed.
mdp.39015063542685	“ An old hand at the game would have remembered to throw this thing away. ”"How did you know I had a key to Harry's office?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ And Hayward's gun?
mdp.39015063542685	“ And did? ” 64 THE BLACK PIGEON Fresh tears swam in the widow's leaf- brown eyes.
mdp.39015063542685	“ And this amazing transformation had taken place for the first time on Saturday, Moran? ”"It was n't no transformation.
mdp.39015063542685	“ And why should n't she be?
mdp.39015063542685	“ And- then? ” Martha Manning resumed her own voice.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Any one else? ”"Sure.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Anything else? ”"No.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Aw, Ruth, they ai n't pinched you, have they? ”"No, Benny, no! ” Ruth was laughing and sobbing at the same time.
mdp.39015063542685	“ But I did n't realize until the other day — Tuesday, was n't it?
mdp.39015063542685	“ But on Saturday you reached the end of your rope, did n't you, Mrs. Borden?
mdp.39015063542685	“ But what am I going to do if Mrs. Borden comes while?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ But you ast, did n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	“ But — why should he remind me?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ By the way, how long had Borden's affair with the dancer been going on?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ Can you fix the time of that second call exactly?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did Borden keep any money or valuables in the office?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did Mr. Bor- den leave a large estate? ”"About a million and a quarter, according to Walters, though the will simply says,'More than$ 10,000.'
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did she speak to him? ”"Say, Cap! ” Jake Bailey grinned broadly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did that beast-?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did the gentleman leave you a big tip, Phillips? ” Mc- Mann asked, grinning; nd rimod The waiter shrugged and spread his hands.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did the lawyer say who it was that Mr. Borden feared would mur- der him?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ Did the old man make any threats against Borden? ”"Yes, ” Ruth admitted slowly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Does Mr. Borden know she's coming? ” Benny chuckled.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Ex- actly when did you make the call? ”"At ten minutes after two, ” Cowan answered un- hesitatingly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Found a number of them on the kid's desk. ” THE BLACK PIGEON 155"Any one else touch your desk Saturday that you know of? ” McMann asked Ruth.
mdp.39015063542685	“ From what I overheard between them on Sat- urday and from what Mr. Borden said after Rita had left,"“ What did he say?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ Gees, I'm tryin'to, ai n't I?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Gold- digging him, eh? ”"He answered something which I did n't understand about her keeping her bargain and he'd keep his.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Had n't I better leave the door on the latch?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Him? ”"A man, of course, ” Ruth retorted.
mdp.39015063542685	“ How?
mdp.39015063542685	“ I suppose you can give me the name of your caller? ”"I can,"Jack answered reluctantly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ I, sir?
mdp.39015063542685	“ It took all your strength to hold Hayward, did n't it, Cowan?
mdp.39015063542685	“ May I go with him? ” Rita begged, springing to her feet as her husband was being led to the door.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Miss Lester, did Borden, to your knowledge, open the bottom drawer of your desk on Saturday? ”"No,"Ruth answered.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Mrs Borden?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Now, Miss Manning, why did n't you call Borden fifteen or twenty minutes later?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Now, Moran, when did Miss Lester leave?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Oh, Jack, what is the matter?
mdp.39015063542685	“ One hour?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Pretty thin, sweet- heart. ”"Well, what if it is? ” Ruth cried.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Shall I come back a little later, Miss Lester?
mdp.39015063542685	“ She was looking so sore, tapping her foot and acting so impatient, that I kept my mouth shut. ”"When was this? ” McMann pounced.
mdp.39015063542685	“ So he was killed after one o'clock Saturday, eh?
mdp.39015063542685	“ So you saw him head toward this wing of the building when he left the elevator, did you?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ So — you got him, did you?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Sometimes he drew as much as two or three thousand dollars out of the bank in a single week. ”"Any checks to women? ” McMann demanded.
mdp.39015063542685	“ That right?
mdp.39015063542685	“ That so?
mdp.39015063542685	“ The big stiff tried to beat me to it—'n'I thought he was goin'to shoot me""After hitting you with the ink well? ” McMann asked mildly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ The key to Borden's office? ”.
mdp.39015063542685	“ There's no automatic here, or any other kind of gun! ”"Not- there? ” Ruth repeated stupidly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ They all fall sooner or later, eh, Miss Lester?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Wanted your bit of gossip, did n't you?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Was she up- set?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Well, how about it, Hayward?
mdp.39015063542685	“ What about Borden's secretary- Ruth Lester?
mdp.39015063542685	“ What about the cleaning women, Covey? ” McMann demanded impatiently.
mdp.39015063542685	“ What are you doing?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ What did she come to see him for?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ What did you come back for? ” Benny cowered lower in his chair and shivered, his prominent, pale gray eyes looking wildly toward Ruth for help.
mdp.39015063542685	“ What do you mean, McMann?
mdp.39015063542685	“ What explanation did he give you for missing the train? ” Rita hesitated, flushed, then seemed to choose her words carefully.
mdp.39015063542685	“ What foundation have you for this charge?
mdp.39015063542685	“ What's the matter, Benny?
mdp.39015063542685	“ When did Hayward return your key, Miss Lester? ” he asked at last, very quietly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ When did the couple leave, Phillips?
mdp.39015063542685	“ When you first told me this morning I thought you had done it- ”"I? ” Ruth cried.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Where did you find her? ”"Down the hall, ” Bailey answered promptly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Who could forget your pretty face?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Who else knew you kept a gun in that drawer? ” Ruth silently prayed that Mrs. Borden would forgive her, as she answered: “ A number of people.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Who said I'd been arrested? ”"Micky Moran.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Who's on the job?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Whose office is that? ” 240 THE BLACK PIGEON The woman snatched her imprisoned hand from the de- tective's hold and rubbed her reddened wrist.
mdp.39015063542685	“ Why did you come to see your husband this morning?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Why not?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Why should I see him?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Will you excuse me a minute, dear?
mdp.39015063542685	“ With Miss Lester suffering from a cold, you walked her about in Saturday's high wind?
mdp.39015063542685	“ With so few comin'and goin'on Satur- day afternoon, why should n't I notice her?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Wonder what time that matinee begins—2:30 or 2:45?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Yes?
mdp.39015063542685	“ Yes? ”"Yes!
mdp.39015063542685	“ You ai n't gon na shut up and not slip me the low- down on why you done it, are you?
mdp.39015063542685	“ You did n't see her on Friday night?"
mdp.39015063542685	“ You require every one to sign in and out, do n't you? ” Coghlan shook his head.
mdp.39015063542685	“ You say you wiped off the win- dow sills, Minnie?
mdp.39015063542685	“ You stand in the lobby and check them out, do n't you? ”"Yes, miss, I do!
mdp.39015063542685	“ You think Rita is guilty, Jack? ” The young man's hands closed tightly over hers.
mdp.39015063542685	“ You want me to say I did n't do it, do n't you, darling?
mdp.39015063542685	“ You were n't so crazy about your boss, were you, Miss Lester? ” he challenged suddenly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ You would n't really have killed Rita, would you, Baby?
mdp.39015063542685	“ You're sure of that, Moran? ”"Sure! ” the boy affirmed eagerly.
mdp.39015063542685	“ You- mean that, Ruth? ” She nodded, her blue eyes imploring him through tears.
mdp.39076002652159	- “ A hard day, Dad? ” she asked.

mdp.39076002652159	A book or a magazine? ” “ No, thank you.
mdp.39076002652159	Actually, the other man is the one who provides all the money. ” “ And who is he? ” “ Why, you should know, ” replied Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	And what was she trying to tell me? ” The problem was too deep for her to solve.
mdp.39076002652159	Anyway, I doubt if I ’ll be able to come myself. ” “ Your grandfather? ” asked Penny quickly.
mdp.39076002652159	Are you ready to sign the lease? ” “ I ’ll have the law on you, if I ever get out of here! ” the old man said spiritedly.
mdp.39076002652159	Are you sure it is the same man?

mdp.39076002652159	But as she turned it over she saw a single line of jumbled letters: YL GFZKY GLULFFLS “ What can this be? ” Penny thought in amazement.
mdp.39076002652159	But deep down inside he ’s rather nice. ” “ Why did he lock you up here? ” “ It ’s a long story, ” sighed Sara.
mdp.39076002652159	But had it ever reached the Star office?
mdp.39076002652159	But the story never should have been published. ” “ It was true though? ” “ I ’m satisfied it was, ” replied Mr. Parker.
mdp.39076002652159	But we want it, see?
mdp.39076002652159	But what can I do? ” “ l do n’t know, ” admitted Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	CAN YOU GET AN INTERVIEW WITH SHERIFF CLAUSSON? ” Penny laughed aloud, and went back to her own machine to tap out an answer.

mdp.39076002652159	Did your grandfather have enemies? ” “ He antagonizes many folks without meaning to do so.
mdp.39076002652159	Do n’t you envy us? ” “ I certainly would, if you were going. ” “ If! ” exclaimed Penny indignantly.
mdp.39076002652159	Do n’t you think I might at least get an advertising circular? ” “ Well, Christmas is coming, ” Mrs. Downey said reasonably.
mdp.39076002652159	Do n’t you think you could take two weeks off anyhow, Dad?
mdp.39076002652159	Do you feel better, Penny? ” I32 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR “ I think I do.
mdp.39076002652159	Do you hear it? ” The maid nodded and her distrustful attitude changed to one of indifference.
mdp.39076002652159	Do you think I could? ” “ I shouldnlt advise it myself.
mdp.39076002652159	Downey is n't using the bob- sled run this year, is she? ” Sara inquired curiously.
mdp.39076002652159	Even a little strain on it would make it break. ” “ You ’re certain it was in good condition last night? ” Sara questioned.
mdp.39076002652159	Francine would die of mortifim- tion. ” “ Is she a reporter? ” “ She covers special assignments.
mdp.39076002652159	From whom had Ralph Fergus received the coded note, and what was its meaning?
mdp.39076002652159	Get me? ” “ Yes, sir, ” responded Penny meekly.
mdp.39076002652159	Go back home? ” “ I do n’t know, ” the woman replied in despair.
mdp.39076002652159	Harvey Maxwell was speaking: 186 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR “ Well, Jasko, have you thought it over?
mdp.39076002652159	He forbids me to ski even on the easy slopes. ” “ But you do it anyway? ” “ Of course.
mdp.39076002652159	He had n't heard a word about the accident, and his granddaughter was in it! ” “ You told him all about it I suppose? ” Penny asked with a moan.
mdp.39076002652159	He hates skiing. ” “ Oh, and you like to ski, ” said Penny, “ is that it? ” “ I adore it!
mdp.39076002652159	He nearly always ignores it. ” “ What did you ask him for this year? ” “ Only a new automobile. ” “ Only!
mdp.39076002652159	How do you like my suit? ” She darted across the room to preen before the full length mirror.
mdp.39076002652159	How else can one explain your fanatical THE SECRET STAIRS 187 hatred of skiing, your blind rages, your antagonism to the more progressive interests?
mdp.39076002652159	How large do you suppose the smuggling ring is, Mr. Clausson? ” “ Large enough.
mdp.39076002652159	How would you like that? ” Francine shrugged.
mdp.39076002652159	How would you like to earn some more money? ” “ How? ” inquired the woman with quick interest.
mdp.39076002652159	How would you like to earn some more money? ” “ How? ” inquired the woman with quick interest.
mdp.39076002652159	I ca n’t tell you what it is. ” “ A cocktail room perhaps? ” “ Listen, I told you I do n’t know, ” the boy an- swered.
mdp.39076002652159	I could n’t give it up. ” “ And you do n’t mind deceiving your grandfather? ” “ You do n’t understand.
mdp.39076002652159	I do n’t understand it, Penny. ” “ Shall I tell Mr. Glasser? ” “ I ’ll do it, ” sighed Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	I just saw Ralph Fergus buy them all from the boy. ” “ Fergus, eh?
mdp.39076002652159	I suppose you ’ll be going soon, then? ” The actress shook her head, and laughed in a mys- terious way.
mdp.39076002652159	I want to see someone at the hotel. ” “ So late at night? ” OLD PETER ’s DISAPPEARANCE I79 second floor.
mdp.39076002652159	I was sent to tell you you ’re wanted in the office by Mr. Maxwell. ” “ Now? ” he inquired in surprise.
mdp.39076002652159	I ’ll have to be more careful. ” “ Why do n’t you tell him the truth?
mdp.39076002652159	I03 ll'7 Mm Miller, you re not by chance working for Ralph Fergus or the hotel? ” “ Dear me, no! ” the actress denied.
mdp.39076002652159	If I win the part I ’ll be well repaid for my time and money. ” “ And if you fail? ” Maxine Miller shrugged.
mdp.39076002652159	If only Grandfather were n't so strict. ” “ Is there a chance he'll give his consent? ” “ Oh, dear, no.
mdp.39076002652159	Is n’t it glorious skiing weather?
mdp.39076002652159	It read: “ Skiers Keep Out. ” “ I wonder if that means me? ” remarked Penny aloud.
mdp.39076002652159	Maxwell has me in a tight place and knows it. ” “ Then why do n’t you see him?
mdp.39076002652159	Might it not have been printed by a teletype machine?
mdp.39076002652159	Mind waiting a few minutes? ” “ Not at all. ” Studying her father's lean, tired- looking face, Penny decided that something was wrong.
mdp.39076002652159	My goodness, are n’t your tastes rather ex- pensive? ” A PUZZLING SOLUTION I33 “ Oh, he wo n’t give it to me, ” replied Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	Nothing serious but it served to frighten folks. ” “ I wonder how the Fergus- Maxwell interests are enjoying it? ” chuckled Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	Now and then he goes to Canada. ” “ I wonder why? ” asked Penny alertly.
mdp.39076002652159	Oh, by the way, any mail? ” “ None for you. ” Penny ’s face clouded.
mdp.39076002652159	Once he makes a stand nothing can sway him. ” “ Is he entirely right in his mind? ” Penny asked dubiously.
mdp.39076002652159	One of the owners of the hotel?
mdp.39076002652159	Or do I mean a gazelle? ” 47 PENNY TRESPASSES 49 “ Go! ” he commanded.
mdp.39076002652159	PARKER 5 “ What makes you say that, Jerry?
mdp.39076002652159	Right? ” “ Right except for one minor detail, ” the man re- torted sarcastically.
mdp.39076002652159	Seeing Francine standing near, she turned to the reporter and exclaimed: “ Did you watch Sara's jump?
mdp.39076002652159	Shall we work together and let bygones be bygones? ” “ Thank you, Penny, I prefer to work alone. ” “ Suit yourself, Francine.
mdp.39076002652159	Surely you are n’t serious about giving up your lodge? ” “ Yes, I am, Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	That will save you the trouble of coming here to let me in and out. ” “ And what will your grandfather say if he learns about it? ” “ Plenty!
mdp.39076002652159	The guests do n’t learn that until after they have moved in. ” “ And there ’s nothing you can do about it?
mdp.39076002652159	The hotel always has attracted a peculiar group of guests. ” “ How would you like to have me solve the mystery for you? ” joked Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	The key ’s in the same place. ” “ Is n’t your grandfather here? ” “ No, he went down to Pine Top.
mdp.39076002652159	There she paused to inquire: “ Anything I can bring you, Penny?
mdp.39076002652159	Today he had to go up the mountain to get a load of wood so he locked me in. ” LOCKED IN THE CABIN “ What has snow to do with it?
mdp.39076002652159	Understand?
mdp.39076002652159	Unless you renew her lease, she'll be forced to leave Pine Top. ’* “ So? ” inquired the old man, unmoved.
mdp.39076002652159	VISITORS 163 “ Will you just read this, please, Mr. Jasko?
mdp.39076002652159	WHO UNCOVERED THE STORY? ” 2.
mdp.39076002652159	Was n't it magnificent? ” “ You ’re both lucky you were n't injured. ” Fran- cine walked over to the two girls.
mdp.39076002652159	We aim to start combing the Woods on his farm next. ” “ May I ride with you? ” she requested.
mdp.39076002652159	What are you bringing him here for? ” Harvey Maxwell smiled and tapped his head signifi- cantly.
mdp.39076002652159	What is it, Penny? ” “ I wonder myself.
mdp.39076002652159	What time is it? ” “ Five- thirty.
mdp.39076002652159	Where shall we ski today? ” “ I only stopped to deliver a message, Sara.
mdp.39076002652159	Why did n't he come along? ” “ He wanted to, but he's up to his eyebrows in trouble.
mdp.39076002652159	Will you help me out of here? ” “ How? ” “ Grandfather always hides the key to the outside door in the woodshed.
mdp.39076002652159	Will you help me out of here? ” “ How? ” “ Grandfather always hides the key to the outside door in the woodshed.
mdp.39076002652159	Would you like that? ” “ It would be more fun if you went also. ” “ That's out of the picture now.
mdp.39076002652159	You can get them from Benny Smith. ” “ From Benny?
mdp.39076002652159	You did n't by chance get that role from David Balantine? ” Miss Miller's painted lips drew into a pout.
mdp.39076002652159	You did n’t notice any automobile on the main road this morning did you? ” “ Only the Fergus hotel delivery truck.
mdp.39076002652159	You do n’t believe in signs either, do you? ” “ I did n’t have any right to trespass. ” “ Oh, do n’t worry about that.
mdp.39076002652159	You noticed that, I suppose? ” “ I ’m not especially critical, ” smiled Penny.

mdp.39076002652159	“ A message from whom? ” “ Mrs.
mdp.39076002652159	“ A tidy little sum of money, or the asylum? ” Peter Jasko maintained a sullen silence, glaring at the two hotel men.
mdp.39076002652159	“ And do n’t the newspapers always arrive? ” ques- tioned Francine.
mdp.39076002652159	“ And if one has a rush message to send after that hour? ” “ Well, you can get me at my house, ” the man an- swered.
mdp.39076002652159	“ And what are you doing in this part of the hotel? ” “ I only wanted to see the Green Room, ” Penny 115 I16 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR/ replied.
mdp.39076002652159	“ And you? ” countered Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Any newspapers tonight? ” inquired a business man of Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Anyone else hurt, Sara? ” IN THE TOOL HOUSE I25( I 77 You ’re the only casualty, Sara replied warmly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Are you Mrs. Downey? ” “ Yes, I am. ” “ I am looking for a place to stay, ” said Francine.
mdp.39076002652159	“ But there is no newspaper in Pine Top, I wonder-? ” The conviction came to Penny that the jumbled letters might be in code.
mdp.39076002652159	“ But what happened to the papers today? ” “ Nothing. ” “ You mean they came through? ” Penny asked in surprise.
mdp.39076002652159	“ But what happened to the papers today? ” “ Nothing. ” “ You mean they came through? ” Penny asked in surprise.
mdp.39076002652159	“ But what significance could it have? ” she asked herself.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Ca n't you even ski with me for half an hour? ” “ Not this morning, ” Penny said firmly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Ca n't you get up your nerve? ” Penny dug in her poles and pushed off.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Ca n't you understand plain language? ” the old man cried.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Ca n’t you think of anything else to do? ” “ Yes, ” agreed Penny cheerfully, “ but it would n’t be half as much fun.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Ca n’t you use the run again this year? ” “ We could, but it scarcely seems worth the trouble and expense.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Can you help me get out of here? ” she called down.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Could n’t you slow down or was it too icy? ” “ No brakes, ” Sara answered laconically.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Dad, you'll honestly try to come to Pine Top for Christmas? ” Penny pleaded.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did I make a mistake in letting her know that you were n't on an assignment? ” “ It does n’t matter, Lou.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did n’t your grandfather say anything about last time? ” Penny inquired anxiously.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you ever hear of a Green Room at the Fergus hotel? ” “ A Green Room? ” repeated Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you ever hear of a Green Room at the Fergus hotel? ” “ A Green Room? ” repeated Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you lock the tool house last night, Jake? ” “ I always do. ” “ How about the windows? ” inquired Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you lock the tool house last night, Jake? ” “ I always do. ” “ How about the windows? ” inquired Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you see me make the jump? ” she asked.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you two decide to change places? ” inquired the stewardess as Penny hesitated beside the empty chair.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Did you wish to see me?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Do you have an extra costume? ” “ Costume? ” “ Dress, I mean.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Do you have an extra costume? ” “ Costume? ” “ Dress, I mean.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Do you know if they have a guest named David Balantine? ” “ The producer?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Do you know if they have a guest named David Balantine? ” “ The producer?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Do you mean mes- sages one can read? ” “ It was writing crazy- like when I watched it.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Do you see what I see? ” she whispered.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Does it hurt to upset? ” “ It might, ” grinned Jake.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Does your grandfather often leave you like this? ” she asked dubiously.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Francine?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Francine?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Half the passengers on this plane must be heading for there. ” “ Is that where you are going? ” “ Yes, ” nodded Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Have you caught any more Witch dolls? ” “ Not for the front page, ” she flung back at him.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Have you decided to use the run after all? ” “ Yes, I started thinking about it after we talked to- gether.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Have you hurt yourself again? ” “ I managed to fall into the ravine a few minutes ago.
mdp.39076002652159	“ He likes you, Penny. ” “ He likes me? ” “ I could tell by the way he acted tonight.
mdp.39076002652159	“ He would n't change his story? ” “ No.
mdp.39076002652159	“ How did you get it? ” the reporter gasped.
mdp.39076002652159	“ How do I get there? ” “ In my bob- sled, ” offered Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	“ How does one go about obtaining a card for the Green Room? ” she inquired casually.
mdp.39076002652159	“ How late is your office open? ” the reporter was asking the operator.
mdp.39076002652159	“ How- ever, it always is dangerous to make insinuations against a man. ” “ Ca n't the story be proven?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Hurt? ” “ Not a bit, ” laughed Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I am if it ever gets here. ” “ Traveling alone? ” “ All by my lonesome, ” Penny admitted cheerfully.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I did n't know you for a moment. ” “ How do you like it? ” inquired the actress, turning slowly about.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I take it you did n't sleep well. ” “ Sleep?
mdp.39076002652159	“ I told you to stay away, did n't I? ” “ You did.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I wonder if you could help me? ” she said, going to meet the woman.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I wonder what happened to the brake?
mdp.39076002652159	“ I wonder who that girl was at the window? ” Penny reflected as she trudged along.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I ’ve had enough skiing to last me until Christmas at least. ” 17o BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR “ Is that a promise? ” “ I ’ll make it one.
mdp.39076002652159	“ I ’ve had the most wretched misfor- tune! ” “ Why, what has happened?"
mdp.39076002652159	“ In this storm? ” “ Oh, I do n’t mind.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Is it always so cold here? ” shivered Miss Miller.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Is n’t he the"man who owns the Riverview Hotel? ” “ Yes, and a chain of other hotels and lodges throughout the country.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Is that the best you can say for it?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Is there no other person at Pine Top who could do it? ” ’ “ Sara Jasko, ” responded Mrs. Downey, smiling.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Jake, does this belong to you? ” The workman glanced at it and shook his head.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Looking for someone? ” remarked Penny with a grin.
mdp.39076002652159	“ My lawyer tells me that Harvey Maxwell has a strong case against the paper. ” “ Harvey Maxwell? ” repeated Penny thoughtfully.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Nor at the Fergus hotel? ” “ I live a ways down the mountain. ” Francine regarded her coldly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Not even if I have lost my card? ” “ Orders, ” he answered briefly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Now what? ” said Penny in a low voice.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Oh, Penny, ” protested Mrs. Downey anxiously, “ do n’t you think you should have stayed in bed?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Oh, are you taking this plane? ” inquired Francine, staring at Penny with quickening interest.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Oh, are you traveling to Pine Top, too? ” inquired Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Oh, may I ask a favor? ” “ I reckon you ’ve earned it, ” the sheriff answered, a twinkle in his eye.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Oh, so it's you?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Or is this another one of the blank days? ” “ Jake brought New York papers from the village, ” replied the hotel woman.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Or should I say something? ” An elevator stopped at the landing.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Penny, are you hurt? ” she asked anxiously.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Please, would you mind pointing that cannon in some other direction?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Sara, get some liniment and see what you can do for Miss Parker ’s ankle. ” “ Your ankle? ” gasped Sara, staring at Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ So what ’s the use of telling you? ” Before Penny could reply the telephone rang and the housekeeper went to answer it.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Sup- pose you tell me why I am going to Pine Top moun- min?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Tell me, do I look too dreadful? ” she asked Penny anxiously.
mdp.39076002652159	“ That might explain a lot. ”, “ You — you think Grandfather met with violence? ” “ I hope not, ” replied Penny earnestly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ That woman with the bleached hair. ” “ And who is Jake? ” inquired Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ The mine played out years ago. ” “ Has Mr. Fergus tried to buy your lodge? ” “ He ’s made me two different offers.
mdp.39076002652159	“ The toboggan slide is n't dangerous, is it? ” “ No, certainly not, ” answered Sara.
mdp.39076002652159	“ There ’s no chance they can trump up a story and get free? ” “ Not a chance, ” returned the sheriff gruflly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ There, how does it feel now? ” “ Much better, ” said Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ They are on the table. ” “ Blank days?
mdp.39076002652159	“ To go so far just in the hope of seeing this man? ” “ Yes, but I like long chances.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Up the mountain or down? ” “ Down, ” he returned.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Wait until Dad hears about this! ” “ Your father has had dealings with him? ” “ Has he? ” murmured Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Wait until Dad hears about this! ” “ Your father has had dealings with him? ” “ Has he? ” murmured Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ We — we're in the air now, are n’t we? ” she asked nervously, meeting Penny's gaze.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Well, how did you like the skiing? ” inquired her hostess who was busy mixing a huge meat loaf to be served for dinner.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Were you wanting to get into this room? ” “ No, I never clean in there, ” answered the maid, still watching the girl with suspicion.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What about Fergus and Maxwell? ” asked Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What are these for? ” the woman asked nervously.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What brings you to the airport? ” As always, the young woman reporter's manner was brusque and business- like.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What can the message mean?
mdp.39076002652159	“ What could have happened to Grandfather? ” Sara repeated over and over.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What do you say?
mdp.39076002652159	“ What does a button have to do with the bob- sled accident? ” inquired Harvey Maxwell.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What does that mean? ” the sheriff inquired.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What goes on in there anyway?
mdp.39076002652159	“ What happened? ” he demanded.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What have you found? ” she finished quickly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What is the meaning of this intrusion? ” “ We ’ve had a complaint, ” said the sheriff.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What reason would I have for doing anything like that? ” he de- manded.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What was the big idea? ” he began, only to stop short.
mdp.39076002652159	“ What will you do now?
mdp.39076002652159	“ What would the hotel be doing with a teletype? ” she mused.

mdp.39076002652159	“ Whatever put such an idea in your head? ” “ It just occurred to me.
mdp.39076002652159	“ When will the papers come? ” he asked Mrs. Downey.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Where did you get your ticket? ” the hotel man demanded but in a less harsh voice.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Which way are you going? ” Penny inquired as the man started to leave the house again.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Who are they? ” Penny asked quickly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Who do you think I am? ” The question was a mistake, for it only served to intensify Harvey Maxwell ’s anger.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Who is she? ” inquired Louise curiously.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Who knows?
mdp.39076002652159	“ Who occupies Room 27? ” she inquired casually.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Why do n’t you shoot once or twice into the air I66 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR just to give ’em a good fright? ” she asked her grand- father.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Why not put an end to all this nonsense, Francine?
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ai n’t locked out again? ” the maid asked as she saw Penny standing beside her.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You are an actress? ” TRAVELING COMPANIONS 27 “ I ’ve been on the stage since I was twelve years old, ” the woman answered proudly.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You did n't see him go away? ” Sara asked.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You surely do n’t mean you would deliberately defraud the hotel? ” “ Not so loud or the clerk will hear you, ” Miss Miller warned.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You work here, do n’t you? ” “ Sure I do, ” he said with emphasis.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re looking for someone? ” Penny knew that she had been observed listening at the door.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re not a guest here? ” questioned the clerk.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re not aiming to Iun away? ” Penny asked uneasily.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re not locked in? ” inquired Penny in astonish- ment.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re probably only going a short ways? ” “ Oh, quite a distance, ” returned Penny.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re starting Thursday, are n’t you? ” I6 BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR “ Yes, at ten- thirty unless there's bad weather.
mdp.39076002652159	“ You ’re the manager of the hotel, are n’t you? ” Ralph Fergus gave her a quick, appraising glance.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Your interview did n’t turn out as you expected? ” “ He would n’t give me the part.
mdp.39076002652159	“ Your new fur coat?

mdp.39015063949252	And he, Jurden, what did he say?
mdp.39015063949252	And what do you know?
mdp.39015063949252	And what'dyou do?

mdp.39015063949252	Anything else?
mdp.39015063949252	Bad, are n't they?
mdp.39015063949252	By the way, what time did Mr. MacFarlane return for his wife that night? mdp.39015063949252 Ca n't she — rest — now?

mdp.39015063949252	Did you also shoot Opal Garth?
mdp.39015063949252	Did you get his name?
mdp.39015063949252	Did you recognize those voices?
mdp.39015063949252	Do you mind, Captain Brade,he asked,"if I go to my wife for a few minutes?
mdp.39015063949252	Eh? mdp.39015063949252 Either of you get who he was?"
mdp.39015063949252	For what?

mdp.39015063949252	How about Maybrick?
mdp.39015063949252	How could it have happened? mdp.39015063949252 How did it get where Arnold found it?"
mdp.39015063949252	How did you get here and what can I do for you?
mdp.39015063949252	How do I know?
mdp.39015063949252	How do you know,she repeated,"that Jurden Keye was shot? ” “ Never mind,"he replied huskily.
mdp.39015063949252	How much do you want?
mdp.39015063949252	How should his prints be found on the knife? mdp.39015063949252 How would I know?"
mdp.39015063949252	How'd you happen to come back to the Valley?
mdp.39015063949252	How'd you happen to pick this little place? mdp.39015063949252 I ca n't get them loose, ca n't you — reach it?"
mdp.39015063949252	I certainly will, sir, if I can,she answered,"but whatever would I know about it?"
mdp.39015063949252	I do n't know anything really about Miss Gantry and if Mis'Maybrick finds out I told you that she burned the letter"What letter?
mdp.39015063949252	I got a right to attend to my duties, ai n't I?
mdp.39015063949252	I say, Brade,Anthony called excitedly,"you are n't swallowing what that woman says about Dallas, are you?
mdp.39015063949252	I say, Court,he began,"ca n't we do some- thing?"
mdp.39015063949252	I seen Jurden Keye — in there — talkin'to someWho?"
mdp.39015063949252	I wonder why- he called her — that? ” The little group was silent. mdp.39015063949252 I'm goin'up there to- night after the show, see?
mdp.39015063949252	Instead of ringing?
mdp.39015063949252	Is n't it?
mdp.39015063949252	Is this necessary, Court?
mdp.39015063949252	It could n't have been addressed to Dallas?
mdp.39015063949252	It might have been the Garth girl — she said he invited her to come, then canceled the engagement"Dallas?
mdp.39015063949252	Jimmy, my boy,he said very low,"have n't I already told you not to — think?
mdp.39015063949252	Liar, eh? mdp.39015063949252 May I come in?"
mdp.39015063949252	Mind leaving us a moment, Anthony?

mdp.39015063949252	No? ” Brade asked. mdp.39015063949252 No?"
mdp.39015063949252	No?
mdp.39015063949252	Now where did that come from?
mdp.39015063949252	Of what?
mdp.39015063949252	Oh — Faith, what have you done?
mdp.39015063949252	Oh, what have we?
mdp.39015063949252	Oh, yes?

mdp.39015063949252	Shall I have Maybrick bring you — refreshments?
mdp.39015063949252	She did n't?
mdp.39015063949252	She does n't love you either, does she?
mdp.39015063949252	She went to my house, was waiting for me when I arrived"What did she want?
mdp.39015063949252	Smirching?
mdp.39015063949252	Such as?
mdp.39015063949252	Tell me why you came?
mdp.39015063949252	Thanks,he said,"and the question?"
mdp.39015063949252	That was his game, eh? mdp.39015063949252 That window,"he asked, pointing,"that is the room where you found the gun?"
mdp.39015063949252	The what?
mdp.39015063949252	There had never been any unpleasantness be- tween you?
mdp.39015063949252	There is nothing else you can tell?

mdp.39015063949252	To- night?
mdp.39015063949252	Tryin'to pin this thing on me? mdp.39015063949252 Was he?
mdp.39015063949252	We've had a hell of a season and now that old fool has shut us up"What old fool?
mdp.39015063949252	Well, ai n't you glad to see me, Dallas, or are you too upstage to remember old pals?
mdp.39015063949252	Well,he said, glancing at the covered body,"she ca n't speak for herself — can any of the rest of you tell me why you're up here?
mdp.39015063949252	What are you getting at?
mdp.39015063949252	What can we tell you?

mdp.39015063949252	What else?
mdp.39015063949252	What else?

mdp.39015063949252	About — the divorce?"
mdp.39015063949252	Afraid?
mdp.39015063949252	Alden said in a hoarse whisper: “ What'd Keye say the last time you talked to him about- every- thing? ”"He said to leave it to him.
mdp.39015063949252	Alden said suddenly:"Say, kid, what's the low down?
mdp.39015063949252	All about what she overheard between Dallas and Keye?"
mdp.39015063949252	And how did you do it?
mdp.39015063949252	And it was?"
mdp.39015063949252	And then Miss Gantry pulled the gun, and Opal Garth started to run — which way?"
mdp.39015063949252	And there was no envelope, Gary, nothing to indicate who received it?"
mdp.39015063949252	And what proof did he give you, if any?"
mdp.39015063949252	And what was the result of that?"
mdp.39015063949252	And what were you doin'here?"
mdp.39015063949252	And what'd you find? ” Dallas motioned with a slim hand.
mdp.39015063949252	And what'd you see? ”"Nothin', ” Alden said grouchily.
mdp.39015063949252	And why?
mdp.39015063949252	And you'll come to see us soon, wo n't you, Dallas?"

mdp.39015063949252	Because everything about them is stained and ugly and evil. ”"And you mean they should be murdered as punishment?

mdp.39015063949252	But who had plunged the knife into a dead man's heart?
mdp.39015063949252	Could I have a few words in private with you?"

mdp.39015063949252	Dallas replied slowly, ignoring the thrust:"What do you want, Opal?"

mdp.39015063949252	How about it?"
mdp.39015063949252	How about it?"
mdp.39015063949252	How can you — drag her name through the mud like this?
mdp.39015063949252	How could she go in?
mdp.39015063949252	How could the situation have been bettered, if MacFarlane had learned of your visit?"
mdp.39015063949252	How do you know it was for me?"
mdp.39015063949252	How enter the place where she had been so happy — especially with the hateful presence of Opal Garth beside her?
mdp.39015063949252	How many times can a man be murdered?
mdp.39015063949252	How many times, in the course of fifteen years, do you suppose you've come into this house by the front door?"
mdp.39015063949252	How would he look then?
mdp.39015063949252	How're you feel- ing?"

mdp.39015063949252	I did everything in my power to get you to return""You — what?"
mdp.39015063949252	I do n't think the grave could hold him""Then you do n't think- he's — really – gone?
mdp.39015063949252	I never thought a policeman — would be like — you — I never thought they""They were human?"
mdp.39015063949252	I sat down and waited""Whose voices did you hear?"
mdp.39015063949252	I want to make you- wanton- do you under- stand? ” His voice rose shrilly, he was leaning for- ward staring at her with dilated, red- rimmed eyes.
mdp.39015063949252	I was in that room,"again the gesture behind her,"the third from the stairs, when I heard a door slam""Where?"
mdp.39015063949252	I was — paralyzed — for a moment — I could n't stir out of the room""Not until the shot?
mdp.39015063949252	I wonder why Captain Brade wants to talk to me?"
mdp.39015063949252	If your mother, your sister, your best friend — your — Dallas, suppose one of them had been murdered?

mdp.39015063949252	Is n't it sufficient that — I — did?"
mdp.39015063949252	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015063949252	It was dim in the room, but I saw that — knife — I picked it up and buried it in his heart""You wore gloves?"
mdp.39015063949252	It was like a nightmare""What did she say?"
mdp.39015063949252	It's nearly morning, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063949252	Leaving us, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063949252	MacFarlane smiled:"Do I help you to concen- trate, Brade?"
mdp.39015063949252	MacFarlane?"
mdp.39015063949252	MacFarlane?"
mdp.39015063949252	Maybrick?
mdp.39015063949252	Maybrick?"

mdp.39015063949252	Mr. Alden, is n't it?
mdp.39015063949252	Mrs. Maybrick, where can the folks here wait while I ask some questions?"
mdp.39015063949252	Nothing out of the ordinary happen to upset her as far as you knew?"
mdp.39015063949252	Now what is it you want to suggest?"
mdp.39015063949252	Now"—Brade bent lower over the cringing woman —"what did you see when you stood there in the linen closet?

mdp.39015063949252	Of what real significance is a man's name?
mdp.39015063949252	Of what?
mdp.39015063949252	On what grounds can you gain your freedom — as you call it?"
mdp.39015063949252	Opal Garth?

mdp.39015063949252	Pretty bad, was n't he?
mdp.39015063949252	Recog- nize her voice?"
mdp.39015063949252	Shall we finish it?
mdp.39015063949252	She asked defiantly:"What you want to know for?"
mdp.39015063949252	She asked, trying to keep her voice steady:"Why are you doing this, Jurden?
mdp.39015063949252	She had on her hat and coat and she went out through the library and""Well, where is the letter?
mdp.39015063949252	She said, looking at Dallas: 102 WHAT MAY BRICK SAW"Why do n't you ask what/ saw, Mr. Policeman?
mdp.39015063949252	She said:"When I heard that Faith was ill""Who told you?"
mdp.39015063949252	She stumbled down the steps, broke into a run, racing through the 36 WHO SCREAMED?
mdp.39015063949252	Stabbed, huh?
mdp.39015063949252	Such a little thing"IS ©'HOW MANY TIMES CAN A MAN DIE?"
mdp.39015063949252	Suppose he proved that Frosty Rivet or Leo Wyche killed Jurden Keye?
mdp.39015063949252	Surely, but who else?
mdp.39015063949252	Tell me while the doctor fixes you up, will you? ”"Of course. ” MacFarlane followed Brade into the hall.
mdp.39015063949252	That book- end belongs in Willow Wilde, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063949252	That brought you out?"
mdp.39015063949252	That queer white hair — what had seared MacFarlane's hair like that?
mdp.39015063949252	That strength you've kept with you all these years?
mdp.39015063949252	That's me, Brade?"
mdp.39015063949252	That's what you think about me, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063949252	The girl in the dancing dress?
mdp.39015063949252	The key was in my vest pocket, I do n't know anything more. ” “ What's his chances on a flit? ” Brade snapped.
mdp.39015063949252	The old town about the same?"
mdp.39015063949252	The proprietor of Willow Inn?
mdp.39015063949252	Then Faith said,"Of course, you're stopping with 8 RETURN us, Dallas, or are you —?"
mdp.39015063949252	Then I began to realize what I had done, that not only Dallas but my_husband- might be suspected""And Opal Garth?"
mdp.39015063949252	Then he heard Terry Shan's voice:"Hello, Court, ready for an earful?"
mdp.39015063949252	Then to Opal:"Well, if Keye told you to stay away, what in time was you doin'snoopin'around here?"
mdp.39015063949252	There had been no voice but his, or had there?
mdp.39015063949252	There is nothing so bad as be- ing- dead?"

mdp.39015063949252	Think I ca n't take care of myself?"
mdp.39015063949252	To find Faith MacFarlane, who is a very dear friend, who, I heard, was ill.""And you could n't guess in which room she might be resting?
mdp.39015063949252	To whom did you loan Anthony's watch when you removed it from your own wrist?"
mdp.39015063949252	Too bad, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063949252	Under- stand?
mdp.39015063949252	Up to it?"
mdp.39015063949252	Was it a hint of familiarity?
mdp.39015063949252	Was n't that enough?
mdp.39015063949252	Well, after all, why should n't Gregg MacFarlane have white hair?
mdp.39015063949252	Well, it is n't very good taste, is it?
mdp.39015063949252	What could he fix for anyone?
mdp.39015063949252	What did Leo Wyche want with you?"
mdp.39015063949252	What do you know of it?"
mdp.39015063949252	What do you make of it?"
mdp.39015063949252	What do you want?"
mdp.39015063949252	What else?"
mdp.39015063949252	What if I do know plenty about him?
mdp.39015063949252	What if I have got the low- down on your hubby?
mdp.39015063949252	What is the real story behind the shooting of Opal Garth?"
mdp.39015063949252	What mad impulse had brought her to Willow Valley after fourteen years?
mdp.39015063949252	What really happened?"
mdp.39015063949252	What then?"
mdp.39015063949252	What you figurin'on — somethin'on your own?"
mdp.39015063949252	What'd you do? ” Dallas gazed at him from wide, desperate eyes, opened her lips to speak, hesitated, then:"I- left"she said faintly.
mdp.39015063949252	What'd you mean hornin'in on our deal?"
mdp.39015063949252	What's happened?
mdp.39015063949252	What's he wanted for?"
mdp.39015063949252	What's that?"
mdp.39015063949252	When may we go home?"
mdp.39015063949252	When was this?"
mdp.39015063949252	Where are you?"
mdp.39015063949252	Where did he come from, to be standing there beside Jurden's body?
mdp.39015063949252	Where did he live before he came to Willow Valley?
mdp.39015063949252	Where did he spend his youth?
mdp.39015063949252	Where did it stand?
mdp.39015063949252	Where has this man – Leo- gone? ” The bright, restless eyes avoided her.
mdp.39015063949252	Where have you been?"
mdp.39015063949252	Where is Gregg MacFarlane?
mdp.39015063949252	Where is she, by the way?"
mdp.39015063949252	Where is your case?

mdp.39015063949252	Who, that it was of sufficient impor- tance to import Leo someone- or- other for purpose of identification?
mdp.39015063949252	Who?
mdp.39015063949252	Whom had one of the actors seen and recognized?
mdp.39015063949252	Whom?
mdp.39015063949252	Whose body? ” Faith gasped faintly.
mdp.39015063949252	Why am I doing it, my dear?
mdp.39015063949252	Why did n't you ring?"
mdp.39015063949252	Why did she go out there?

mdp.39015063949252	Why had n't she let the old ghosts rest?
mdp.39015063949252	Why had she come back to Willow Valley?
mdp.39015063949252	Why had she come back?
mdp.39015063949252	Why had she thought his hands had power to hold her?
mdp.39015063949252	Why had the small, golden- haired wife of Andrew Stillwell come to be known as Faith?
mdp.39015063949252	Why looking at her with that knowing secret triumph?
mdp.39015063949252	Why should n't she tell him the truth?
mdp.39015063949252	Why should she tell this woman her affairs?
mdp.39015063949252	Why should this man, this — What is his name?"
mdp.39015063949252	Why was he smiling?
mdp.39015063949252	Why was she here?
mdp.39015063949252	Why, how could he help it?
mdp.39015063949252	Why?"
mdp.39015063949252	Why?"
mdp.39015063949252	Will you do it?"
mdp.39015063949252	Would n't you be howling for blood?
mdp.39015063949252	Would n't you want something done about it?
mdp.39015063949252	Would you guess it?
mdp.39015063949252	You did n't hear another voice?"
mdp.39015063949252	You do n't suppose that guy bumped him off to get even, do you?"
mdp.39015063949252	You got it, of course?"
mdp.39015063949252	You had no reason to — dislike him?"
mdp.39015063949252	You left my roof of your 32 WHO SCREAMED?
mdp.39015063949252	You mean — that — this — Stillwell stabbed Keye?"
mdp.39015063949252	You mean?"
mdp.39015063949252	You ought to know that, Cap- tain Brade?
mdp.39015063949252	You think — I — did this?"
mdp.39015063949252	You understand that? ”"Oh- yes- policemen are terrible, are n't they, Gregg? ”"Rather terrible, Faith.
mdp.39015063949252	You understand that? ”"Oh- yes- policemen are terrible, are n't they, Gregg? ”"Rather terrible, Faith.
mdp.39015063949252	You used to live out West, did n't you?
mdp.39015063949252	You want to see me?"
mdp.39015063949252	You'll never take your arms from around me, will you, Gregg? ”"Never, Faith. ” Presently she said: “ I wish Captain Brade would come.
mdp.39015063949252	You'll notify Doc Monery?
mdp.39015063949252	You'll see about the baggage, Gregg?"
mdp.39015063949252	You're the youngster who came in to help the housekeeper, are n't you?
mdp.39015063949252	You, MacFarlane, you discovered the body?"
mdp.39015063949252	life — other than his?"
mdp.39015063949252	sort of gasp, someone moving, a door opening and closing""What door?"
mdp.39015063949252	that she should fall from the balcony""When she left you,"Brade asked,"she was normal?
mdp.39015063949252	·"Bad hurt, MacFarlane? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063949252	“ Another- dead- to- night? ”"No,"Brade snapped.
mdp.39015063949252	“ But, Dallas — about her? ” • “ Well, you see, that actor girl, that Opal Garth, she said she saw Dallas kill him-"Oh, Gregg!"
mdp.39015063949252	“ Chilly in here, is n't it? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063949252	“ Garages?
mdp.39015063949252	“ How we gon na get out? ”"I do n't know.
mdp.39015063949252	“ Loved?"
mdp.39015063949252	“ Say, ” he said suddenly,"how'd you get that bloomer on your pan?
mdp.39015063949252	“ Well, what then?
mdp.39015063949252	“ What about her? ” Faith started and her eyes flared wide.
mdp.39015063949252	“ What's on your mind?
mdp.39015063949252	“ Who are you talking about?
mdp.39015063949252	“ Who was the 59 DEAD HANDS REACHING woman in this room?
mdp.39015063949252	“ Who? ” he cried hoarsely.
mdp.39015063949252	“ Why? ” “ Because of what — they are of the pain they cause others.
mdp.39015063949252	“ Yeah?
mdp.39015063949252	“ Yes, that's what I mean. ”"You think, to lose one's life, that is the greatest punishment, Dallas?
mdp.39015063949252	“ You had been with him a long time? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063949252	“ You know where he lives?"
mdp.39015063543485	A bank this time, was n't it?
mdp.39015063543485	A stroll? mdp.39015063543485 A thousand, fifteen hundred?"
mdp.39015063543485	Ai n't drunk arf of it,'ave yer?
mdp.39015063543485	An'where do I git orf? ” he demanded. mdp.39015063543485 And that, ” said Freddie casually, “ is dashed funny, is it not?
mdp.39015063543485	And the agreement? mdp.39015063543485 And the rest of the gang,"demanded the Commissioner, “ who SIR MARCUS EXPLAINS 239 are they?
mdp.39015063543485	And what's bitten Marky? ” “ Eighty thousand pounds is all Miss Richmond is worth,said Elveden with a cryptic smile.
mdp.39015063543485	And you imagine I shall keep my mouth shut when they take me? ” he snarled with sudden vehemence. mdp.39015063543485 As you like,"said Freddie, obligingly, “ but what's in a name?
mdp.39015063543485	Bin on the waggin fer a couple o'days! ” “ How long have you been in London, Jerry? ” asked Elveden. mdp.39015063543485 Bit thick round the dome?
mdp.39015063543485	Burglary? ” The butler gulped again and nodded doubtfully, as if he felt personally responsible for the crime. mdp.39015063543485 But what can happen, old fellow? ” he said soothingly.
mdp.39015063543485	But, no — surely it is Mr. Craven? mdp.39015063543485 By the way, how is Marky? ” “ Still as restless as ever, ” sighed Leslie.
mdp.39015063543485	Change the record, ” suggested Freddie and, helpfully, “ What about a spot of clear up? mdp.39015063543485 Comes this from your masterly pen, James Craven? ” he demanded accusingly.
mdp.39015063543485	Dashed curious,murmured Freddie interestedly,"Bally rum, if you follow me, old lad?
mdp.39015063543485	Decidedly, ” replied Elveden, smiling faintly, “ but I think you mentioned my name, just now?
mdp.39015063543485	Did any of the other servants know she was there? ”No, sir.
mdp.39015063543485	Did he describe the car?
mdp.39015063543485	Did you see a down- at- heel tramp- like person enter the flat you have just left, Freddie? ” he asked. mdp.39015063543485 Do I understand that I have missed the matutinal resuscitation, old soul?"
mdp.39015063543485	Do n't I know it?
mdp.39015063543485	Escaped? ” he asked incredulously. mdp.39015063543485 Exactly what are you driving at?"
mdp.39015063543485	Exactly what are you up to? ” asked Elveden, joining the other in the lee of the gateway. mdp.39015063543485 Fallen out of your little cot early, have n't you? ” A high- pitched laugh came across the wire and an affected falsetto voice answered cheerfully.
mdp.39015063543485	Fancy dress or something? ” The Squid made a gesture of impatience. mdp.39015063543485 Feeling better, sir?"
mdp.39015063543485	Fightin'? ” enquired Robert gently. mdp.39015063543485 Flawless Pearl, I have it in mind that one can savor a fairly chewable consommé at this hour of the day, what?"
mdp.39015063543485	Flush to- night, ai n't yer?
mdp.39015063543485	Fond of taxis, Jerry? ”Fonder'n I am o'your society,"growled the Lag.
mdp.39015063543485	Freddie?
mdp.39015063543485	Freddie?
mdp.39015063543485	Gawd, ” he muttered in his peculiar husky voice, “ it's you, is it? mdp.39015063543485 Gosh, ” Freddie said suddenly, “ why has not that scaly reptile James come to make the horizon still more foul?
mdp.39015063543485	Half- past?
mdp.39015063543485	Hallo, ” said Freddie in answer to a masculine hail,the local cop emporium?"
mdp.39015063543485	Hallo? ” “ Sir Marcus Loseley?
mdp.39015063543485	Hallo? ” “ Sir Marcus Loseley?
mdp.39015063543485	Has Mr. Craven arrived yet? ”I'll see, Miss."
mdp.39015063543485	Has anyone asked for me? ” Sir Marcus looked at his friend's flushed face and eager eyes curiously and shook his head. mdp.39015063543485 Has anyone seen my erring nephew to- night? ” the Duke asked casually, leaning back against the upholstery with a sigh of satisfaction.
mdp.39015063543485	Has anyone seen that indolent frog, Freddie, this morning?
mdp.39015063543485	Have another drink?
mdp.39015063543485	Have you any idea of the nature of the thing that John Richmond brought with him from Venice?
mdp.39015063543485	Have you had any visitors to- day? ” he asked anxiously. mdp.39015063543485 Have you,"he asked bitterly,"ever extracted any blood- curdling thrills from a game of solo tennis?
mdp.39015063543485	His head, sir?
mdp.39015063543485	How did the thieves gain entrance? ” pursued Jimmy. mdp.39015063543485 How often are you in Faversham, Jerry?"
mdp.39015063543485	I gather that this kind of stuff is not much in your line?
mdp.39015063543485	I mean that one already has died — we know that-"Do we? ” asked the Cockney. mdp.39015063543485 I met the Squid two minutes after he had committed the crime. ” “ And?
mdp.39015063543485	I say when do we feed the old face? ” explained Freddie. mdp.39015063543485 I suppose you ai n't by any chance a Mister Elveden? ” he ventured diffidently.
mdp.39015063543485	I suppose you have come to remind me of your dinner party to- night, Erb? ” he said. mdp.39015063543485 I take it that in the ensuing bustle we may count on an early visit from William?
mdp.39015063543485	I take it, you mean the manager? ” he said coldly, still eyeing Jerry unfavorably. mdp.39015063543485 If I thought there was, I should shoot you now and take the risk of the shot being overheard. ”"What are you going to do?"
mdp.39015063543485	If he had to disgrace the family, why the devil could n't he have done it like a gentleman? mdp.39015063543485 If he's there, you can cut off. ” “ Do you know where he goes on a Monday? ” he demanded after a pause, turning to Spillins.
mdp.39015063543485	If your Grace alludes to the damage I did your chair“ Chair? ” hooted Framlingham, bristling with fury.
mdp.39015063543485	In what capacity does it function to- night? ” he asked silk- ily. mdp.39015063543485 Inspector Elveden?"
mdp.39015063543485	Is Leslie there? ” he asked. mdp.39015063543485 Is Sir Marcus about, Fenton? ” Leslie asked.
mdp.39015063543485	Is Sir Marcus down yet? ”. mdp.39015063543485 Is it? ” asked Elveden, looking round the lobby.
mdp.39015063543485	Is it?
mdp.39015063543485	Is the center transept safe? ” he asked weakly. mdp.39015063543485 Is the man tired of life? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015063543485	Is the passage quite blocked up?
mdp.39015063543485	It affects you unpleasantly? ” inquired Freddie, lounging ele- gantly. mdp.39015063543485 It is too subtle. ” “ I suppose you know what bonds are? ” snorted the Duke.
mdp.39015063543485	James, ” he said searchingly,you have not come here to paint roseate pictures of love and a cottage for two, have you?
mdp.39015063543485	Like that, is it? ” grimaced the Lag. mdp.39015063543485 Look here, young man, ” said Peach,"are you a reporter? ” “ Unfortunately,"Jimmy admitted.
mdp.39015063543485	Love me so much that yer'ad ter keep me near yer some time ago, did n't yer? ” he mocked huskily. mdp.39015063543485 Lunch? ” asked Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	Marky's the essence of tact, is n't he? ” She smiled up at him and Jimmy realized that his host had gone. mdp.39015063543485 May I trouble you to stand beneath the windows? ” Freddie rose wonderingly and retreated to the wall beneath the windows.
mdp.39015063543485	Me, ” said Freddie resignedly,and see here, my dear old policeman- “ What were you doing in Sir Marcus Loseley's study at that time of night?"
mdp.39015063543485	Miss Richmond's father was a friend of yours, was n't he, sir?
mdp.39015063543485	More wine, my dear? ” he asked, apparently oblivious of the Inspector's existence. mdp.39015063543485 Mr. Leicester has a tongue, has n't he? ” asked the sergeant coldly.
mdp.39015063543485	My time is valuable. ” “ But why this harshness to little Fred? ” bleated that young gentleman in a pained tone. mdp.39015063543485 Necessary?
mdp.39015063543485	No objection? ” he asked at length. mdp.39015063543485 No? ” Freddie murmured innocently, but made no move to explain.
mdp.39015063543485	No?
mdp.39015063543485	Not dancing, your Grace? ” he asked pleasantly. mdp.39015063543485 Now, little one, you have a visitor in this house, have n't you?
mdp.39015063543485	Oh, Masters, ” said His Grace, motioning him to stay,I seem to retain a hazy impression of a most unpleasant scene. ”"Indeed, sir?"
mdp.39015063543485	Oh, yes, of course you mean: what am I doing here? ” He appeared to be thinking it over. mdp.39015063543485 On whose authority?"
mdp.39015063543485	Or possibly nine one. ” “ Where did you spend the earlier part of the evening? ”At the Nocturnes, old lad,"answered Freddie lightly.
mdp.39015063543485	Pardon? ” “ I said,'Please do,'” grinned Jimmy, shaking hands with his friend. mdp.39015063543485 Pretty scaly foregathering, what? ” he suggested in his drawl- ing falsetto.
mdp.39015063543485	Punch and Judy? ” enquired the sergeant ironically. mdp.39015063543485 Really?
mdp.39015063543485	Shall we smoke, Mr. Leicester? ” he invited hospitably. mdp.39015063543485 Show what? ” demanded Freddie vacantly.
mdp.39015063543485	Since you heard, why ask? ” Sir Marcus's tone was frigid. mdp.39015063543485 So you're here, you social scab? ” he grunted, dropping into the seat vacated a few moments previously by Jimmy Craven.
mdp.39015063543485	So?
mdp.39015063543485	Some day, Jimmy, I shall get the Squid for that crime. ”- “ You mean — kill him?
mdp.39015063543485	Sorry, I did n't quite catch? ” she said sweetly. mdp.39015063543485 Stickler, ai n't you?
mdp.39015063543485	Suppose we come and have a quiet drink together, Jerry?
mdp.39015063543485	Taxi? ” she asked with a puzzled frown. mdp.39015063543485 The bank manager, sir?"
mdp.39015063543485	This is Sir Marcus's writing, I suppose? ” he asked. mdp.39015063543485 We got away with the goods — brought home the bacon?"
mdp.39015063543485	Well, Jimmy, is this an unprofessional visit or are you looking for the eternal copy? ” asked Sir Marcus in his deep pleasant voice. mdp.39015063543485 Well, where is he?
mdp.39015063543485	Were you expecting someone, John? ” The King's Messenger looked away. mdp.39015063543485 What do you think I am, a retired milkman or a Cabinet Minister? ” The Inspector raised a protesting hand.
mdp.39015063543485	What do you think our share will be, Uncle Sam?
mdp.39015063543485	What doing?
mdp.39015063543485	What form will the payment take? ” he asked slowly. mdp.39015063543485 What is a hypothetical case, and where does one put it? ” “ This is a good example of one,"answered Elveden with an enigmatical smile.
mdp.39015063543485	What paper?
mdp.39015063543485	What the blazes do you think you're up to?
mdp.39015063543485	What the devil are you grinning at, you blighted hyena? ” he snarled. mdp.39015063543485 What the devil went wrong?
mdp.39015063543485	What time will Mr. Thyme return to- night? ” he asked slowly. mdp.39015063543485 What'll you have, Jerry? ” Jerry grunted and turned round with a weary expression.
mdp.39015063543485	What'll you take? ” asked Jimmy morosely. mdp.39015063543485 What's occupying the Craven brain, Opensive one?"
mdp.39015063543485	What's the matter wiv'em? mdp.39015063543485 Where did you get that rig- out, Jerry? ”"Day and Martin's, ” the Lag responded facetiously, eyeing his trousers affectionately.
mdp.39015063543485	Where is Sir Marcus's car?
mdp.39015063543485	Where were you at lunch time?
mdp.39015063543485	Where's that blasted Inspector? ” At that moment “ that blasted Inspector ” put in an appearance. mdp.39015063543485 Where's the others? ” “ Gracing their respective domestic hearths, I trust,"the Squid replied smoothly.
mdp.39015063543485	Where's yer six'elpers?
mdp.39015063543485	Who are they? ” asked Sir Marcus, curiously. mdp.39015063543485 Who cares about lampmen or policeposts?"
mdp.39015063543485	Who is this gentleman? ” he asked, rounding on the startled Fenton abruptly. mdp.39015063543485 Who?
mdp.39015063543485	Whose doin's have I prigged lately? ” The Inspector ignored the remark and walked straight across the room to the Baronet. mdp.39015063543485 Worse?
mdp.39015063543485	Wot's that in plain English?
mdp.39015063543485	Wot's that to you, Buttons?
mdp.39015063543485	You Mossoo Blatz? ” he asked. mdp.39015063543485 You again? ” he growled.
mdp.39015063543485	You decline to assist?
mdp.39015063543485	You got here safely?
mdp.39015063543485	You have destroyed all the records and the lists of the bank- note series? ” he asked, stepping in and closing the door. mdp.39015063543485 You have had a frequent visitor there lately, have n't you?
mdp.39015063543485	You imagine that you are quicker?
mdp.39015063543485	You mean there's a yacht or boat of some kind waiting some- where to take him off? ” asked Elveden. mdp.39015063543485 You say that you received two visits from the Squid, Miss Richmond? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	You were saying, my dear?
mdp.39015063543485	You wished to speak to me, I believe? mdp.39015063543485 You're doin'a helluva lot o'advisin', ai n't yer?"
mdp.39015063543485	Yus, I got a grudge an'when I can fix'im- six foot o'ground, an'crepe! ” “ You know where he hangs out?
mdp.39015063543485	'Ere,'ow much from Victoria to'ere? ” The law had settled many such disputes.
mdp.39015063543485	'Ow many perishin'barynets d'ye think I got on me visitin'list? ” Elveden sat back helplessly.
mdp.39015063543485	'Ow the'ell was I ter know they was duds? ”"NOT TO- NIGHT, MR.
mdp.39015063543485	'oo to? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	159 160 MURDER IN WAX “ Did he say why he was going or how long he would me?"
mdp.39015063543485	28 MURDER IN WAX"Friend? ” jeered the Lag.
mdp.39015063543485	77"You have them with you?"
mdp.39015063543485	80 MURDER IN WAX"Inspector, is it?
mdp.39015063543485	A bank manager and presumably a wealthy man, surely he had little need to resort to those kinds of tricks for a living?
mdp.39015063543485	A commendable notion, a ripe idea?
mdp.39015063543485	A concealed paper?
mdp.39015063543485	A new suit perhaps? ” The reporter shook his head.
mdp.39015063543485	A pick- ax?
mdp.39015063543485	A torch?
mdp.39015063543485	Alive to betray him And Freddie?
mdp.39015063543485	An''oo do yer think yer luggin'abaht?
mdp.39015063543485	An'if I wivdroo me support, would this perishin'department go phut?
mdp.39015063543485	An'what kind o'233 234 MURDER IN WAX noose is'anging at the end o'this?
mdp.39015063543485	And nobody warned them?"
mdp.39015063543485	And the Squid himself?
mdp.39015063543485	And was not the bank a convenient'clearing house'?
mdp.39015063543485	And what of the Duke?
mdp.39015063543485	And you,'Slim'? ” He stared thoughtfully at the American.
mdp.39015063543485	Any final requests? ” “ Bequests, yes; requests, no, ” said Framlingham slowly.
mdp.39015063543485	Any relation? ”"Nephew.
mdp.39015063543485	Anybody hurt?"
mdp.39015063543485	Anything fishy about him, sir?
mdp.39015063543485	Are there any questions? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	Are we a'back to nature society or something equally scaly? ” “ I beg your pardon, sir?"
mdp.39015063543485	Are we a'back to nature society or something equally scaly? ” “ I beg your pardon, sir?"
mdp.39015063543485	Are you sure? ” “ Certain,"muttered the reporter.
mdp.39015063543485	Asked for an unbiased opinion, Constable Mathers would have stated that it was “ a fair cop. ” “ What's been taken?"
mdp.39015063543485	Becoming a kind of byword like'Do you Pelmanise?
mdp.39015063543485	Besides, why the non- stop express effect?
mdp.39015063543485	Bootlegger, perhaps?
mdp.39015063543485	But by whom?
mdp.39015063543485	But the oath?
mdp.39015063543485	Can you tell us where you are? ” “ Wait a jiffy, ” said Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	Correct duds them is fer plowed fields. ” “ Estate?
mdp.39015063543485	Could he make so dastardly a reward to the one who had pre- served his liberty not three hours ago?
mdp.39015063543485	Could n't you have staged the jolly old firework display elsewhere? ” His uncle sighed regretfully.
mdp.39015063543485	Could you possibly come here at once?
mdp.39015063543485	Dashed queer, what?
mdp.39015063543485	Did that support the theory that the Squid had been responsible?
mdp.39015063543485	Did you see him after all? ” Elveden flushed and turned round at the door.
mdp.39015063543485	Do you want to examine him?"
mdp.39015063543485	Does not that point to collusion between Mr. Thyme and the Squid?
mdp.39015063543485	Dueling rules?
mdp.39015063543485	Duke, is he?
mdp.39015063543485	El- veden”—the nasal American voice hardened—“is getting there every time and the Squid's getting out, while the going's good, eh dude?"
mdp.39015063543485	Erb?
mdp.39015063543485	Fearfully fetching and all that sort of thing, of course, but what's the plan of campaign?
mdp.39015063543485	First, what connection had Thyme with the Squid?
mdp.39015063543485	For the love of Mike, has anyone got a gasper? ” The Inspector halted in the rain.
mdp.39015063543485	Freddie Leicester?
mdp.39015063543485	Funny them other blokes ai n't showed up yet, ai n't it? ” One of the Frenchman's neighbors at the fire looked up swiftly.
mdp.39015063543485	Getting lively on the proceeds, ai n't you, Jerry? ” The other took up his suit- case and bestowed a cold glare on Robert.
mdp.39015063543485	Gimme yer wurd as it wo n't git no forrader? ” Elveden, carefully repressing everything but a mild and studied indifference, nodded.
mdp.39015063543485	God in heaven, was ever Fate so ironic?
mdp.39015063543485	Going to be any excitement?
mdp.39015063543485	Got the number?
mdp.39015063543485	Had anything happened to prevent his coming?
mdp.39015063543485	Had they intercepted the Secret Service man and killed him?
mdp.39015063543485	Half- past eight at the very latest. ”"Where is he to be found now?
mdp.39015063543485	Have some more? ”"Sympathy? ” “ No, gargle.
mdp.39015063543485	Have some more? ”"Sympathy? ” “ No, gargle.
mdp.39015063543485	Have the JOHN RICHMOND, KING'S MESSENGER 19 to John Richmond?
mdp.39015063543485	Have you an appointment? ”"I have not, ” answered the Inspector, indifferently.
mdp.39015063543485	Have you any objection to giving me one? ” “ None at all, ” answered Loseley.
mdp.39015063543485	He had a black scarf round his face and I could n't see anything but his eyes. ”"Anything else you noticed?
mdp.39015063543485	He told me over the telephone that something terrible had happened""Terrible? ” inquired Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	He'd have done better if he had kept to running! ”"You have n't seen anyone, then?"
mdp.39015063543485	Here now?
mdp.39015063543485	Hiering tontibu"By which, ” sighed the Duke, in his kind, well- modulated voice,"I take it that your advances have been unsuccessful?
mdp.39015063543485	His face- absolutely purple- a terrible sight. ” “ Is the full damage known yet? ” asked Sir Marcus.
mdp.39015063543485	How am I to get these things off?
mdp.39015063543485	How could I be other than myself, Herbert Frederick Pleydell, twelfth Duke of Framlingham?".
mdp.39015063543485	How did he dis- cover that?
mdp.39015063543485	How did you find the other door? ” Inside the hidden room the Squid was enjoying himself im- mensely.
mdp.39015063543485	How is business, Count- still- er- confidential? ” The Frenchman's aristocratic face remained impassive.
mdp.39015063543485	How was Paris when you left it?"
mdp.39015063543485	However, you realize that I have no alternative but to place you under arrest?
mdp.39015063543485	Humorous, is it not? ” He chuckled with enjoyment and then abruptly became serious.
mdp.39015063543485	I ai n't bound to answer, am I, sir? ” he demanded, looking at the Commissioner.
mdp.39015063543485	I ai n't the Crim'nal Records Orfice, am I?
mdp.39015063543485	I am extremely sorry, Inspector, but you appreciate my position?
mdp.39015063543485	I am not boring you?
mdp.39015063543485	I am to allow him the freedom of the place to carry off whatever he fancies?
mdp.39015063543485	I believe you are contem- plating marriage, Miss Richmond? ”"You're well informed, ” she retorted.
mdp.39015063543485	I do n't git no retainin'fee, do I?
mdp.39015063543485	I mean, bit thick, what? ” “ What time did you arrive at Loseley House?"
mdp.39015063543485	I mean, bit thick, what? ” “ What time did you arrive at Loseley House?"
mdp.39015063543485	I mean, the jolly old com is open to the public and all that sort of rot, what?
mdp.39015063543485	I mean- he'll have to lie doggo for a bit, what? ” To his surprise the butler nodded.
mdp.39015063543485	I meantersay- dashed mysterious, what? ” MURDER IN WAX"Anyway he's a damned lucky cuss,"ruminated Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	I shall require six hundred. ”"Pounds or saloons? ” Freddie offered.
mdp.39015063543485	I should have thought of the bank sooner, but then who would have credited Thyme with such duplicity?
mdp.39015063543485	I suppose one could n't hope for something less talkative in dressing- gowns, Clarence?"
mdp.39015063543485	I suppose you're fitted with a spot light? ” The sergeant nodded and motioned to the diminutive search- light in the prow.
mdp.39015063543485	I think I am right. ” The Scot interposed: “ Losh, mon, wull ye tell me the mon Thyme was one o'us?
mdp.39015063543485	I trust I am making things clear?
mdp.39015063543485	I trust that the Commissioner did not make the mistake of trying to realize on them?
mdp.39015063543485	I trust you felt no pain when you were struck on the head that night? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	I trust you received no hurt? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	I wo n't quibble. ”"Take you ten minutes to find your case, sir? ” The tone was ominous.
mdp.39015063543485	I wonder if it is our little French Count?"
mdp.39015063543485	I wonder why I did n't'out'you? ” Sir Marcus smiled faintly.
mdp.39015063543485	I'll show her — wheresh booking offish? ” Constable West, still supporting the hilarious one, strove to obtain a glimpse of his face.
mdp.39015063543485	I'm runnin'strite, ai n't I?

mdp.39015063543485	If you corrected the?"
mdp.39015063543485	In what has the minion of the law fallen short of our expectations? ” “ That's the trouble,"Sir Marcus growled.
mdp.39015063543485	In which case, what is the poor josser going to get out of this deal? ” He eyed Elveden enquiringly.
mdp.39015063543485	Is my hair very untidy?
mdp.39015063543485	Is your torch still functioning? ”"No, sir.
mdp.39015063543485	It was a nice morning and he was with the one girl..."Feel like a gentle stroll, Erb? ” he suggested, and prayed fervently.
mdp.39015063543485	It was here that he had once taken an unsuspecting policeman- “ Taxi, sir?"
mdp.39015063543485	It was, ‘ Did he get Richmond?'
mdp.39015063543485	It'll keep till then, wo n't it, Inspector? ”"I should prefer to do it now,"replied Elveden vexedly.
mdp.39015063543485	It's just another example of that fiend's beastliness. ” “ Any theory, legal limb?"
mdp.39015063543485	JERRY THE LAG “ Ever heard of the Squid, Jerry? ” Jerry set down his glass suddenly and his eyes narrowed warily.
mdp.39015063543485	Jerry started involuntarily, but answered quite calmly, “ Wot is Faversham?"
mdp.39015063543485	L 70654, last seen in Cliveden Place. ” “ Why the devil do I have to be pestered with ordinary local work? ” he growled.
mdp.39015063543485	Leicester? ” the sergeant asked doubtfully.
mdp.39015063543485	Leicester?"
mdp.39015063543485	Like me to come and hold the old mitts? ” But Fenton had not heard.
mdp.39015063543485	Looking round the room, he said dismally: “ Has anyone seen that somnolent slab, Freddie, this evening?
mdp.39015063543485	Loseley you mean? ” said Elveden, shooting a bow at a venture.
mdp.39015063543485	Loseley? ” asked Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	Lumme, some o'you blokes'as a easy time o'it, do n't yer?
mdp.39015063543485	Mademoiselle who?
mdp.39015063543485	Mademoiselle, was she?
mdp.39015063543485	Marky used to keep it in the larder, did n't he? ” He pointed to the safe, and Fenton nodded.
mdp.39015063543485	May I ask how you worked this out unaided? ” Freddie smiled vacantly.
mdp.39015063543485	May I ask you to precede me?".
mdp.39015063543485	May I have the next?"
mdp.39015063543485	May I offer my congratulations? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	Meantersay — is he a Prime Minister or something?
mdp.39015063543485	Meantersay, things are a bit unsettled, what?"
mdp.39015063543485	Mr. Thyme?
mdp.39015063543485	My dear fellow, I had no idea that it was you. ”"Or you would n't have come back? ” suggested Jimmy humor- ously.
mdp.39015063543485	Naturally I shall reply in the only man- ner possible. ”"Nobbling the sparklers? ” asked Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	Nine?
mdp.39015063543485	No offense meant and none taken, I hopes, sir? ” He stared anxiously at the inspector.
mdp.39015063543485	No?
mdp.39015063543485	No?
mdp.39015063543485	No?
mdp.39015063543485	No? ” Elveden tapped his forehead thoughtfully.
mdp.39015063543485	No?"
mdp.39015063543485	Not Elv'den?
mdp.39015063543485	Not the one with a name like asthma? ”"Mademoiselle Dorakakoff, of the Russian Ballet, ” supplied Monsieur Blatz.
mdp.39015063543485	Notice the'news'gleam in his eyes, Marky? ” The other smiled pleasantly.
mdp.39015063543485	Now I should n't have thought-""You would n't,"interposed the Lag with grim satisfaction: “ Ca n't break the'abits of a lifetime, can yer?"
mdp.39015063543485	Now, I asts yer, is that playin'the gime?
mdp.39015063543485	One o'them crooks you're always diggin'about for?"
mdp.39015063543485	One o'these'ere haristocrats or sich- like?"
mdp.39015063543485	Or was his statement, that he never read the papers, a lie?
mdp.39015063543485	Or was it merely fancy?
mdp.39015063543485	Our friend the energetic Inspector will require a scapegoat for to- night's affair, and who more suitable for that onerous position than you?
mdp.39015063543485	Perhaps you will explain your motive in following Sir Marcus Loseley here. ”"Is Marky here too?"
mdp.39015063543485	Perhaps your master would allow you to look over the car? ” He got up with the apparent intention of speaking to the owner.
mdp.39015063543485	Presently: “ Touching the matter of the flagging tissues, old lad? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	Quaint, what?"
mdp.39015063543485	Really?
mdp.39015063543485	Restrain yerself, cut out the im- pet- 00-osity, ca n't yer?
mdp.39015063543485	Shall I call Jerry, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	Simple, what?"
mdp.39015063543485	Slowly he reconstructed the events that had taken place, sec- · onds ago — minutes ago- hours ago?
mdp.39015063543485	So that was the reason for the robbery of the tiara?
mdp.39015063543485	So this was the Squid's jolly little funk- hole, what?
mdp.39015063543485	Sort of curious, if you know what I mean- er- you know one sort of thinks, what? ” The Squid's eyes gleamed maliciously.
mdp.39015063543485	Sugar?
mdp.39015063543485	Surely he had seen that taxi at New Cross?
mdp.39015063543485	Surely he realized that it was a terrible weapon if it fell into the wrong hands?
mdp.39015063543485	Surely this elaborately constructed little den had another exit?
mdp.39015063543485	TERMS 187 “ What do you want?
mdp.39015063543485	THE TRAP 137 “ Did you come here to tell me that?"
mdp.39015063543485	That is asking too much. ” “ Then I may take it that you agree? ” said Elveden, rising to his feet.
mdp.39015063543485	That's the Duke's place, is n't it?
mdp.39015063543485	The Duke's?
mdp.39015063543485	The Lag closed up like an oyster, “ Do I? ” he asked blandly.
mdp.39015063543485	The Superintendent grunted and fixed his eyes coldly on Freddie:"Have you any friends you could ring up to verify these statements? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	The bank? ” “ No, sir, he never goes to the bank on a Monday. ”"You might verify that, Super, will you?"
mdp.39015063543485	The bank? ” “ No, sir, he never goes to the bank on a Monday. ”"You might verify that, Super, will you?"
mdp.39015063543485	The barman there reserves it for me. ”"Is this barman a member of the gang?"
mdp.39015063543485	The bird had flown"“ Who the dickens are you calling a bird? ” demanded Framling- ham wrathfully.
mdp.39015063543485	The glass, not the eye, Jer mean'i m? ”"Exactly, ” said Jimmy eagerly.
mdp.39015063543485	The witness said that the chauffeur said the girl was being taken to a private hospital, sir. ”"Did the witness get the number of the car?"
mdp.39015063543485	Then as soon as ever I kerrecks'is error,'e turns rahnd an'says,'Well, if you did n't,'oo the'ell did?'
mdp.39015063543485	Then, why had Sir Marcus refused to bring a charge?
mdp.39015063543485	Then, “ Marky will you ring that doctor? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	There was something different about the man, but what on earth was it?
mdp.39015063543485	Think I'm a liar?
mdp.39015063543485	This other, he was not the type of man to be absent at a- what do you call it, my friend? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	This ’ ouse is coot, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063543485	This'd put the lil'tin'at on it. ”"Cold feet, Jerry? ” asked the Squid softly.
mdp.39015063543485	Thyme have many visitors? ” he enquired presently.
mdp.39015063543485	Thyme,"he said, briskly, “ I believe that Sir Marcus Loseley is one of your clients? ” Mr. Thyme nodded courteously.
mdp.39015063543485	Understand? ” His subordinates nodded respectfully.
mdp.39015063543485	Wants me photer fer'is daily, I do n't fink. ” “ Pint? ” asked the barman, collecting the empty glasses.
mdp.39015063543485	Was he ap- proaching delirium?
mdp.39015063543485	Was he sure that the Secret Service man was finally out of the fight?
mdp.39015063543485	Was it imagination or did the Lag's eyes flicker a trifle?
mdp.39015063543485	Was it possible that Thyme was the Squid himself?
mdp.39015063543485	Was it possible that this man could contemplate anything so fiendish?
mdp.39015063543485	Was it possible?
mdp.39015063543485	Was she in danger?
mdp.39015063543485	Was that it?
mdp.39015063543485	Was this fiend even now contemplating evil?
mdp.39015063543485	We're a good way down, and I doubt if the sound of the explosion carried far. ”"How long ago was it?"
mdp.39015063543485	Were they even now plotting their opportunity to gain posses- sion of the paper?
mdp.39015063543485	What I mean to say- look here, who is this Jerry the wag? ” FREDDIE IS NOT HELPFUL 87"Lag, ” Elveden corrected politely.
mdp.39015063543485	What about it? ”"It's gone, sir,"Fenton blurted out.
mdp.39015063543485	What brought the pains on in the first place?"
mdp.39015063543485	What do you expect him to do?
mdp.39015063543485	What do you think it is?
mdp.39015063543485	What do you think of the case, Erb?"
mdp.39015063543485	What does it matter if I starve, you callous brute?
mdp.39015063543485	What estate? ” Elveden asked blankly, exchanging a glance with the Commissioner.
mdp.39015063543485	What had hap- pened to her?
mdp.39015063543485	What happened?
mdp.39015063543485	What heinous offense have we committed this time?"
mdp.39015063543485	What identity lay behind the assumption of Jerry's face and character?
mdp.39015063543485	What is death after all, but MURDER IN WAX fear the le strikes as the instantaneo transition, in most cases instantaneous?
mdp.39015063543485	What is he?"
mdp.39015063543485	What is it this time?
mdp.39015063543485	What is this Johnny?
mdp.39015063543485	What must that man's feelings be?
mdp.39015063543485	What on earth had happened?
mdp.39015063543485	What score?"
mdp.39015063543485	What shall I do?"
mdp.39015063543485	What was it this time?
mdp.39015063543485	When Fenton opened the door, John fell into his arms almost unconscious. ” “ Did Fenton see the johnny who fired the shot?"
mdp.39015063543485	When would he see her again?
mdp.39015063543485	Where am I?
mdp.39015063543485	Where are you collecting the ducal incum- brance?"
mdp.39015063543485	Where did he get that name?
mdp.39015063543485	Where did you get that foul rig- out from, you blight? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063543485	Where is my guardian? ” The Squid raised his hands and stemmed the flood.
mdp.39015063543485	Where is she?
mdp.39015063543485	Where was she?
mdp.39015063543485	Where's Sir Marcus — what's his name? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	Where's that file, you blockhead? ”"I am no longer in your service, your Grace,"Masters reminded him icily.
mdp.39015063543485	Where's the boss?"
mdp.39015063543485	Where?"
mdp.39015063543485	Which reminds me, have you seen that imbecile lately? ” M. Blatz had not.
mdp.39015063543485	Who is that knock- kneed wench? ” Monsieur Blatz smiled indulgently.
mdp.39015063543485	Who is the Indian joker? ”"The Maharajah of Baraipur is the name of the gentleman- er- willing to sell,"said Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	Who was he when that hideous mask was stripped from his face?
mdp.39015063543485	Whose torch was it?
mdp.39015063543485	Why am I here?
mdp.39015063543485	Why the devil should he have to waste an entire morning chasing people all over the globe in their interests?
mdp.39015063543485	Why?
mdp.39015063543485	Why?"
mdp.39015063543485	Will the hand of death reach him?
mdp.39015063543485	Will there be anything further? ” Freddie took a cue from the rack and balanced it thoughtfully.
mdp.39015063543485	Will you step into the morning room?
mdp.39015063543485	Women? ”"No, an inseparable clause to same,"answered Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	Woming?
mdp.39015063543485	Wot is it this time?
mdp.39015063543485	Would you like to speak to the Superinten- dent? ”"No time,"said Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	Ye saprise me, an'wha'aboot the other? ”"I know not anything of the other,"responded the Oriental.
mdp.39015063543485	Yes?
mdp.39015063543485	Yes?
mdp.39015063543485	You ai n't got nuthin'on me,'ave yer? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	You appreciate the extreme delicacy of my position, I trust?"
mdp.39015063543485	You did say worse? ” Momentarily his Grace lost the ability to express himself.
mdp.39015063543485	You follow me?
mdp.39015063543485	You follow my line of reasoning? ”"Absolutely,"replied Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	You follow?
mdp.39015063543485	You grasp my meaning?
mdp.39015063543485	You grasp the general idea? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	You know its history? ”"No, neither have I time to listen, ” the other replied tartly.
mdp.39015063543485	You know what a hundred is, do n't you?
mdp.39015063543485	You mean someone has nicked the doin's?
mdp.39015063543485	You mean the jolly old pane polisher, what? ”"Pane polisher?"
mdp.39015063543485	You mean the jolly old pane polisher, what? ”"Pane polisher?"
mdp.39015063543485	You or him?"
mdp.39015063543485	You read the case, Mr. Leices- ter? ” Freddie nodded and selected another cigarette.
mdp.39015063543485	You see my point? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	You see, Leslie always thought her father died naturally—-"“ Well, he did, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063543485	You surely do n't think...?
mdp.39015063543485	You understand my exceedingly diffi- cult position? ” Freddie smiled cheerfully.
mdp.39015063543485	You will find His Grace"“ Disgrace?"
mdp.39015063543485	You will smoke, sir? ”"Ah, a budding Beecham, ” nodded Freddie, accepting a cigarette.
mdp.39015063543485	You wo n't want Masters, will you, Elveden?
mdp.39015063543485	You've heard of the Squid, I suppose? ” The sergeant whistled and turned to the man at the tiller.

mdp.39015063543485	“ A lady visitor?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ A little light cat- burglary? ” he inquired politely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ A tolerably fruity lash- out, what?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ A tram conductor, perhaps? ” The Squid did not rise to the bait.
mdp.39015063543485	“ About your old Squid story, or something interesting?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Accident? ” The Duke sat up suddenly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Address? ” “ Framlingham House, Upper Berkeley Street,"sighed Freddie, as though repeating his alphabet.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Ah, Elveden, ” he said cheerfully,"going to lose a little more beauty sleep?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Ah, children, imbibing the morning allowance of ozone?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Ai n't he coot? ” jeered Jerry.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Am I to take it that you think me fool enough to believe your assurance that you slept through the meeting?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Am I to take that as an invitation to lunch? ” she asked, her gray- green eyes dancing with merriment.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Am I to understand that you decline to bring a charge against this person? ” he demanded of Sir Marcus.
mdp.39015063543485	“ An expensive lure? ” he said shrewdly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ An'who's waitin'ter see me?
mdp.39015063543485	“ And I understand that the Loseley tiara is deposited here? ” continued the Inspector slowly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ And are you hinting at murder?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ And that is? ” “ To hand him over to justice!
mdp.39015063543485	“ And the diamonds? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ And then? ” suggested Jimmy gently.
mdp.39015063543485	“ And would you mind asking that sweet soul not to excavate his fangs so heartily?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ And you say that you do n't know him, Jerry?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ And you, Sir Marcus? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ And your car is still missing?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Any luck with the cipher, yet? ”"Let me see, that will beah yes, quite so."
mdp.39015063543485	“ Any news, Elveden? ” gasped Jimmy.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Any relation of yours? ” “ I must apologize for Jerry, Erb.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Any signs? ” he yelled again.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Any witnesses to testify?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Anyone got the time? ” he demanded in the hoarse voice of a Cockney.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Anything fer me? ” he asked in an undertone.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Anything touched in this room?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Are all the servants here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Are we to infer- murder? ” asked the Commissioner at last.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Are you coming? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ As many as a hundred? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ At what time was he found?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ B 29? ” Freddie pushed the disc back into position and, replacing his case, nodded coolly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ B 29?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Back to back, six paces, turn, draw and fire? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Bagged the whole jolly little Sunday League, did n't you? ” enquired Freddie facetiously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Been up to the flat in Prince of Wales Terrace lately, Jerry? ” he asked with assumed indifference, but watching for signs.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Before or arter eleven o'clock?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Bit cramped, old dear? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Bit futuristic, what?
mdp.39015063543485	“ But why should you suspect my guardian? ” she asked, with a puzzled expression.

mdp.39015063543485	“ But, good Lord, sir- I'd no idea — you mean you're going to-? ” he sat back, wide- eyed, unbelieving.
mdp.39015063543485	“ But, my dear old freak, ” he protested in a pained voice,"why the battalions of nighties?
mdp.39015063543485	“ By Jove, sir, is that gospel? ” he gasped and hurriedly pro- duced a notebook.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Ca n't a fellow call for his cigarette container without being accused of nobbling the family plate?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can I be of any assistance?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can I drop you at Loseley House? ” His Grace suggested courteously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can any doubt linger as to the identity of the one and only F.H.L.?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can it be to revel?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can we leave by the servants'entrance, Erb?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can you describe the Squid, sir? ” asked Jimmy nervously, striving to evade any further reference to Sir Marcus'last statement.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can you do so now?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Can you let me have a sergeant and four men? ” “ Certainly,"answered the Superintendent, ringing a bell on his desk.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Care to join us?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Cigarette? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Come into some money lately, Jerry? ” he asked casually.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Coming to release that perishing idiot? ” he asked in a tired voice.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Damn you, where are you?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Deciphered it, Freddie? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Did he give any reason for Miss Richmond's presence in the house? ” the Inspector pursued.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Did you have any trouble down at the van? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Did you manage to get a look at his face? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Do you call that Kaffir shuffle dancing?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Do you really imagine I care what happens to you, or that I am likely to imperil my own safety, for your sake?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Do you think the bungalow is still standing, sir? ” he asked anxiously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Do you think you would recognize the Squid's voice- I pre- sume he does the speaking? ” said the Commissioner.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Does the idea commend itself to your Grace?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Either I receive that dowry, or you will find yourself beyond the need of it! ” “ Meaning?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Feel fit? ” asked Jimmy, looking at her anxiously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Feel inclined to slam the ivories for a bit longer, friend John?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Framlingham House?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Friends? ” jeered the reporter.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Git orf the subjec'o'booze, ca n't yer?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Go on,"he said tersely, “ since you recognized him — who was he? ” “ Ah!
mdp.39015063543485	“ Gone bughouse? ” queried the American politely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Had that paste tiara made yet? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Has that footman turned up yet? ” he asked the taller of the two constables.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Have you let him through?
mdp.39015063543485	“ He got his? ” Freddie asked slowly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ He would n't have the"“ You were going to say brains? ” interrupted His Grace sor- rowfully, refusing to be comforted.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Heart failure, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Here, in this den of infamy?
mdp.39015063543485	“ How about another quick one?
mdp.39015063543485	“ How about dinner to- night? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ How long has she been here? ”"Four days, sir,"replied the valet nervously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ How long have you been behind that curtain, Mr. Leicester? ” asked the Squid.
mdp.39015063543485	“ How long have you worked for Mr. Pendleton Thyme?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ How many servants are there in this house, besides yourself? ” “ Three, sir. ” “ And they are?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ How many servants are there in this house, besides yourself? ” “ Three, sir. ” “ And they are?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ How much do you require? ” asked Thyme.
mdp.39015063543485	“ How much of the proceedings in this room did you hear?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ How the deuce do you propose to lap up the consommé with that waxwork veiling your beauty? ” he asked pleasantly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I beg your pardon? ” “ I said'congenital idiots,'"answered Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I lunched with two friends at the Rivoli. ” “ You said'friends'? ” said Jimmy, morosely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I need n't talk, but it'd be best fer all parties — pertickerly me, by the look o'things — if I did? ”"Exactly, ” smiled the Commissioner.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I rang you up, but your maid said you were out. ” “ Did she say with whom? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I remember reading the notice- heart failure, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ I suppose you work on a commission basis with them? ” THE UBIQUITOUS JERRY 231 “ An'do n't you call me a liar, ” said Jerry heatedly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I take it that Tussaud does not wish me to live and die in these pajamas?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ I try not to,"sighed Freddie, “ but really- “ Did you? ” persisted Jimmy obstinately.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I understand that Mr. Leicester is being detained here on suspicion of having stolen the Loseley tiara from my room to- night?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ I wonder why? ” His voice, like the Frenchman's, was refined and softly modu- lated.
mdp.39015063543485	“ I'm paid to know. ” “ How long were you in the room alone, sir? ” he continued, turning to Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Interested in diamonds, Jerry? ” asked Elveden at length.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Is Sir Marcus anywhere about, Fenton? ” the Duke asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Is that Mr. Craven? ” he asked, nodding in the direction of the dance floor.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Is there anything particular you would wish to do, sir? ”"Is there anything in particular I am allowed to do?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Is there anything particular you would wish to do, sir? ”"Is there anything in particular I am allowed to do?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ It is the forerunner of a dangerous task. ” “ You are hinting at — what? ” asked the Commissioner.
mdp.39015063543485	“ It's curious, is n't it, how these twisters play crooked even with their own kind?
mdp.39015063543485	“ It's him, is it?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Knotty points?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Leslie?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Look here, old thing, have you any objection to waiting half a jiffy?
mdp.39015063543485	“ May I ask for what purpose? ” he inquired gently.
mdp.39015063543485	“ May I ask what you want? ”"I am Sir Marcus Loseley, ” stated the Baronet, stepping for- ward.
mdp.39015063543485	“ May I ask you to interpret, sir? ” he suggested.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Me?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Meantersay — something fearfully- er- what you might call — booky about bookshops, what?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Modiste?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Nephew?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ No?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Not a nag, is it?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Not arf, ” grinned the Lag,"wallows in'em, I does. ”"Where were you on the night that Sir Marcus had the mis- fortune to lose his tiara?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Now what are you diggin'fer?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Now what, ” murmured Freddie, “ can have given you that im- pression?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Oh, Fenton, that was Sir Marcus who left the house, was n't it? ” Leslie asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Oh, he is, is he?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Oh, it's you, is it? ” he growled.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Oh, we clicked, did we? ” “ Clicked?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Oh, we clicked, did we? ” “ Clicked?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Oh, you mean the brush episode?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Ole man now, is it?
mdp.39015063543485	“ On reaching the road, ” went on Sir Marcus, ignoring the sneer, “ I discovered that my car had vanished. ” “ And your chauffeur?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ On what charge? ” demanded Framlingham furiously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Or found some before it was lost? ” “ No, I ai n't, ” snarled the Lag.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Or has the jail- bird retired to hide his diminished head?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Or is this your little way of showing esteem?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Out with it, or by God""You promise that I can go? ” quavered Thyme, staring up fearfully into the wild eyes of the other.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Paper? ” he said blankly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Part of the D'Este collection, is n't it? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Person? ” he bleated anxiously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Police? ” asked the Squid with twinkling eyes.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Possibly,"agreed the Inspector calmly, “ but what about it?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Quite like old times, ai n't it, Mister Elv'den?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Rather a neat piece of work, eh, Jerry?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Rather more reserved than- er- confidential to- day, are n't we? ” jeered Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Remember him?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Remember'i m?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Richmond's a big place, ” he said despondently; and after a pause, “ Is that all the news? ” Thé Inspector flushed slightly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Say, ” he leered, “ do you ever read the pipers, Mister Elv'den?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Sent — for a doctor?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Shall I put a hypothetical case? ” “ Certainly, ” agreed Freddie blankly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Shall we adjourn to the billiard room, Mr. Leicester? ” he sug- gested courteously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Sir Marcus?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Sir? ” “ I said that I intended to have a hundred up at billiards,"explained Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Sir? ” “ I say “ clothes,'” Freddie interrupted obligingly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Sir? ”"I say, now we approach the delicate subject of clothing the captive,"Freddie explained.
mdp.39015063543485	“ So it was you?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ So poor old Erb has copped the rotten end of the deal? ”"Not exactly,"demurred the Squid.
mdp.39015063543485	“ So that's'ow yer did it?
mdp.39015063543485	“ So you got Richmond, you swine? ” he continued, in the same level tone.
mdp.39015063543485	“ So you know? ” Sir Marcus asked at last, in his habitual re- fined and calm voice.
mdp.39015063543485	“ So'e's bin an'gorn an'lorst'isself,'as'e?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Sort of a nerve tonic before weer- get down to it?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Suppose we settle this matter now? ” he said.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Supposin'we does, ” agreed Jerry. “'Oo's payin'?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Supposing, ” suggested Freddie,"we amble gently back and collar a bus?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Talking of conundrums, have you heard the one about the hen and the egg? ” They continued their walk.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Taxi, sir? ” he said ingratiatingly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Terrible? ” he said.
mdp.39015063543485	“ That feller put a good pal o'mine out fer the count""Billy Horne?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ That means explain, yes? ” asked the man from the Orient.
mdp.39015063543485	“ That was the Squid you were driving with, I believe?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ That will be the police, sir? ”"Probably,"agreed Freddie, “ or the postman.
mdp.39015063543485	“ That's final? ”"Abso- bloomin'-lootely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ The Loseley what? ” demanded the sergeant suspiciously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ The garage? ” he murmured, and the mysterious disappear- ance of the Squid took on a new significance.
mdp.39015063543485	“ The tiara! ” “ Where? ” asked Freddie innocently.
mdp.39015063543485	“ The usual, Jerry? ” The old Lag nodded curtly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Theory?
mdp.39015063543485	“ They do n't open afore, do they?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Thinking of forsaking the straight and narrow so soon? ” He stared pointedly at the Loseley home and equally pointedly at the Lag.
mdp.39015063543485	“ This ‘ Should Married Women Wear Bed Socks?'
mdp.39015063543485	“ Toast?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Touching the matter of telephones, Malvolio, ” he said, “ where's the nearest? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Tryin'ter be funny? ” he suggested, “'Ave I'eard on the Squid?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Tryin'ter be funny? ” he suggested, “'Ave I'eard on the Squid?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Want any chinge?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Was it he you wanted to see?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Was it you who threw the Crystal Palace? ” He looked round dismally.
mdp.39015063543485	“ We do n't seem to get much farther, do we? ” he asked with an apologetic smile.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Well taken, ” he agreed, “ but the question remains, where is that blighted boy? ”"Pardon me, your Grace, ” interrupted Elveden smoothly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Well, Inspector?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Well, what are you going to do about the thing?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Well, what do you know? ” prompted Jimmy, watching the other keenly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Well? ” demanded the Inspector, looking up sharply.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Well? ” whispered Leslie, as the reporter sank into his seat beside her.'
mdp.39015063543485	“ What about a lung perisher? ” he suggested.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What are you doing here, Jerry? ” he demanded, and would no doubt have continued had he not caught sight of the Duke.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What can I do for you? ” he asked politely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What course would you pursue if I were to allow you to retain your liberty? ” he asked; and the Inspector started.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What did you expect to find? ” asked the stranger coolly, and with a short gasp the Squid allowed the stick to fall from his fingers.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What do they know of Freedom who only Freedom know?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ What do you know of his private life, and how were you connected with it? ”"Nothing, sir,"faltered the valet.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What do you mean?
mdp.39015063543485	“ What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ What do you think, Freddie, ” he asked,"shall we wait for Erb?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ What do you want? ” he demanded presently in an unfriendly tone.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What floor is she on? ” “ The next, sir. ” Jimmy nodded.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What is the next move?
mdp.39015063543485	“ What makes us so sure of the exact sum, my dear old Inspec- tor? ” he asked blankly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What name? ” he asked disdainfully.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What shall I do?
mdp.39015063543485	“ What the devil do you mean? ” he demanded skeptically.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What the dickens does this gibberish mean, sir? ” “ As I say, I have never found out,"answered Sir.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What time do the watch make their rounds, and on what floors are they? ” “ Every hour, ” replied the Squid.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What time is it, Sadie?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's all this pother about, laddie? ” he enquired gently.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's happened, John? ” he beseeched anxiously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's that? ” he asked queerly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's the most interesting thing in Fleet Street to- day?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's the time, Marky? ” The baronet consulted a gold wrist- watch.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's the trouble, sir? ” he asked politely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's your name? ” he demanded suddenly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What's your name? ” “ Winter, sir,"replied the constable, “ George Winter."
mdp.39015063543485	“ What, ” he asked,"divides me from abject pauperism? ” “ Two yards,"grinned Freddie, seated next to him.
mdp.39015063543485	“ What?
mdp.39015063543485	“ What?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ When do we put it across the hen fruit and brown fluid? ”"I beg your pardon, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ When do we put it across the hen fruit and brown fluid? ”"I beg your pardon, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ When? ” He caught the other by the arm savagely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where am I hurt? ” “ You are not, sir, ” Masters assured him.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where are you speaking from? ”"I do n't know the address,"answered Freddie swiftly, “ but that does n't matter.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where is Mr. Thyme's place?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where is Sir Marcus's estate? ” “ Faversham,"answered the Lag promptly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where the deuce am I, old chap? ” he asked with a puzzled smile.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where's this ti- hara kep'? ”"In Sir Marcus Loseley's study, ” rejoined the Squid.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where's your fare? ” demanded Elveden, turning swiftly on his heel and eyeing the driver.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Where, ” he demanded,"is William the Waxwork?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Which question would you prefer me to answer first? ” he asked patiently.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Which way are you going, Jerry? ” “ The hopposite way ter you, ” grinned the Lag, and leant back against the wall.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Which, ” retorted Jerry, scowling, “ is most hunusual, ai n't it? ” and the preliminaries over, Jerry's ire loosened his tongue.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who else has asked you about Jerry?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who is Sunny Sam? ” he asked, as the footman made his exit.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who is the Squid? ” the Commissioner rapped out suddenly, and the Baronet smiled.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who is'us,'old cod? ” asked Freddie, sipping his drink with marked appreciation.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who the hell's that? ” he gasped, spinning round.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who were they, old thing? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who were they? ”"If you must know, one was Freddie Leicester. ”"I shall have to drop that man, ” grumbled Jimmy.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who's Erb, by the way?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who, as you very rightly observe, was our little absent ray of sunlight?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Who?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Whom are we going to arrest? ” “ The family seems to have a guilty conscience,"said Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Why in'ell ca n't yer look where yer goin'? ” exploded Jerry irately, and then stopped.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Why? ” The Lag pulled at his mustache and laughed hoarsely.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Will there be anything further to- night, sir? ” Masters enquired.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Will you come too, Erb?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Will you go to your room, sir? ”"Laddie, you have said it, ” murmured Freddie.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Will you have the goodness to step farther back into the room?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Window cleaner? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ With what poison can I assist in ruining your complexion?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Wiv a stretch at the uvver end? ” suggested Jerry humorously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” he invited.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Wot kind of bloke?
mdp.39015063543485	“ Wot's it goin'ter cost me?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Would it be a breach of etiquette for me to ask where I jolly well am, old scream? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Would it be indiscreet to ask how your excellent intelligence staff discovered my identity?".
mdp.39015063543485	“ Would it be indiscreet to say you preferred the Squid's com- pany?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Would it surprise you to know that I once saw the Squid?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ Yes, I see your point, ” she retorted flippantly, “ but what's in a name?
mdp.39015063543485	“ You allude to the master, sir?
mdp.39015063543485	“ You are fond of music, John? ” suggested Freddie, courteously.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You blokes do n't give drinks buckshee, do yer?
mdp.39015063543485	“ You decline to answer? ” “ That, ” said Freddie, “ does rather sum up the jolly old situa- tion."
mdp.39015063543485	“ You do n't think there is any possibility of his having come and gone while you have been here?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You have a fixed rendezvous, of course? ” interrupted Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You have a written authorization, I take it? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You have dined, I trust?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You hombres heeled? ” The others nodded.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You know what has happened, Sir Marcus? ”"I think my presence here answers that question, ” retorted the other.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You know, putting it in that cold light, ” he said politely,"what are you doing here?
mdp.39015063543485	“ You mean you do n't know him? ” he asked, and Freddie gasped painfully.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You rang, sir? ” Freddie lowered his brush with a grin, and stepped into view.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You recollect the newspaper report of the death of my friend, John Richmond, Leslie's father, some years ago?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You say no one else saw you at the house, so far as you know?
mdp.39015063543485	“ You seelook here, Leslie old thing, do you like the name of Craven? ” It was out at last.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You swear?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You were in the room alone? ” “ Certainly, ” interrupted Fenton eagerly.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You would like to have the epic recorded?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You would n't like to alter your time estimate?
mdp.39015063543485	“ You'd better come down to the servants'quarters, Jerry. ” “'Oo yer talkin'to?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You'll agree, of course? ” he asked dully.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You're making rather a dangerous statement, are n't you, Sir Marcus? ” said Elveden.
mdp.39015063543485	“ You're rather a pitiful thing, are n't you, Thyme?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You've got a grudge against him?"
mdp.39015063543485	“ You've got the valet here? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063543485	“ Your Grace understands? ”.
mdp.39015063543485	“'Oo is Freddie What- you- said, when'e's at home? ” he asked wearily, rubbing his mouth with a dirty hand.
mdp.39015063543485	“'Oo is'e, anyway? ” “ Excuse me, sir,"said Elveden, forestalling the Commissioner's next question.
mdp.39015063543485	“'Oo was it?"
mdp.39015063543485	“'Ow does'e do it? ” marveled Jerry.
mdp.39015063543485	“'The Lindens, you say?
mdp.39015063552288	A Glory of Persia, eh? mdp.39015063552288 A challenge, eh?
mdp.39015063552288	A good sign, eh, Mr. Savoy? mdp.39015063552288 A little sport, Amos?
mdp.39015063552288	A quarrel?
mdp.39015063552288	A story?
mdp.39015063552288	A stranger done to death, and you do n't know where, when, why, or by whom? mdp.39015063552288 Alibi?"
mdp.39015063552288	All that the boy knows,cut in Gateway shrewdly,"is that this artist chap, Casamajor, popped out of the elevator with the thing in his hand?"
mdp.39015063552288	All this quite at your leisure, Janice.—And now will you answer a question for me? mdp.39015063552288 Always and always you're a man of deeds and not of words, eh, Gateway?"
mdp.39015063552288	Am I to follow blind? mdp.39015063552288 Am I to go now?"
mdp.39015063552288	Amos, old boy, are the cigars coming up? mdp.39015063552288 An unexpected streak of sentiment in the man?
mdp.39015063552288	And Chu Yung? mdp.39015063552288 And I have been consumed with curiosity: What on earth led you to think of the advertised cloak as connected with any- thing?"
mdp.39015063552288	And Mr. Chu Yung?
mdp.39015063552288	And Mr. Gateway? mdp.39015063552288 And she hates you?"
mdp.39015063552288	And she wo n't let it go — Why? — Money, money, money! mdp.39015063552288 And so you made yourself a committee of one to welcome us at the pier and then decided we did n't need any welcoming?"
mdp.39015063552288	And so you will give me my big exclusive? mdp.39015063552288 And so you've grown up and become a young woman of business?
mdp.39015063552288	And the hat brim pulled down?
mdp.39015063552288	And the servant angle?
mdp.39015063552288	And the wizard that I called you?
mdp.39015063552288	And then where did he get the other car he did use to move the body with? mdp.39015063552288 And who is the lucky man, my dear?"
mdp.39015063552288	And wo n't I be ready for him?
mdp.39015063552288	And you carelessly carry diamonds around in your purse, and lose even them?
mdp.39015063552288	And you say that Mrs. Hamby showed you the gar- ment?
mdp.39015063552288	And you sent for them when you saw my poor wilted ones? mdp.39015063552288 And you think you can get something on the other points during the day?"
mdp.39015063552288	And you will take me in with you?
mdp.39015063552288	And your assignments?
mdp.39015063552288	Are we to see it?
mdp.39015063552288	Are you retained in any capacity by Mr. Para- dene?
mdp.39015063552288	Are you sure,he said sarcastically,"that some man actually was killed?"
mdp.39015063552288	At Paradene's perhaps?
mdp.39015063552288	Badly torn, you say?
mdp.39015063552288	Boredom?
mdp.39015063552288	But if so, I do n't see — What in blazes did he want the blue sedan for then?
mdp.39015063552288	But the rest of it? mdp.39015063552288 But what earthly reason could he have had?"
mdp.39015063552288	But what has any theorizing of mine got to do with the matter?
mdp.39015063552288	But"Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	Ca n't you get it into your head that we're prepared to take a hundred awful spills?
mdp.39015063552288	Can it actually be that my luck has changed?
mdp.39015063552288	Come ahead, old boy,he invited, and added with a chuckle:"Going to a masquerade ball?
mdp.39015063552288	Danger?
mdp.39015063552288	Danger?
mdp.39015063552288	Did he ever suggest that you might break your uncle's will?
mdp.39015063552288	Did he show the message to any one?
mdp.39015063552288	Did you happen to know Mrs. Dillingham at any time during that past of hers which thus far is a blank to us?
mdp.39015063552288	Did you know Tom Dillingham?
mdp.39015063552288	Did you know also the man who was murdered the other night?
mdp.39015063552288	Did you think his death accidental?
mdp.39015063552288	Discharged?
mdp.39015063552288	Do n't you realize that it is there, in the suite where Mr. Savoy is that Mr. X is sure to strike?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you believe that his death was accidental, or that he was murdered?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you gentle- men want me to come along with you?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you know what the true sport of kings is, all you people?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you know who the Unknown Victim was?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you think I'm quite mad, Miss Landreth?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you think that I did it?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you think that Janice is all right?
mdp.39015063552288	Dora Dillingham is silly about money, but she's a dear; and did you see the look on his face when he had her ready to faint with fear? mdp.39015063552288 Down?"
mdp.39015063552288	Eh?
mdp.39015063552288	Eh?
mdp.39015063552288	Eh?
mdp.39015063552288	For me?
mdp.39015063552288	Great wealth like mine makes a man master of the world — if it happens that he can make himself master of himself, eh, Mr. Savoy? mdp.39015063552288 Guess who else was up with the peep o'day?
mdp.39015063552288	Has it dawned on you,said Savoy curtly,"that our Mr. X is what I've heard you term a'foxy guy'?
mdp.39015063552288	Hav- ing ridden our theories as far as a view of the goal, we'd be wise to hop off them and take to shank's mare on good solid ground? mdp.39015063552288 Have I taken a snake to my bosom?"
mdp.39015063552288	Have I?
mdp.39015063552288	Have you any idea?
mdp.39015063552288	Have you ever been in Shanghai?
mdp.39015063552288	He came by train, we'll say, though he could have arrived by boat or even by plane — But of course you checked on the plane passengers?
mdp.39015063552288	He is a reporter and one of my most deadly rivals"You, a reporter?
mdp.39015063552288	Horse- racing, they used to say, did n't they? mdp.39015063552288 How about Alan Casamajor?"
mdp.39015063552288	How about those other matters you were to check before tonight?
mdp.39015063552288	How can that be? mdp.39015063552288 How many m's in indomitable?"
mdp.39015063552288	How many times have I told you that your'clues'raise the very devil with a man?
mdp.39015063552288	How'll I hold her?
mdp.39015063552288	I believe that you remarked that now our little job is done, eh, Gateway? mdp.39015063552288 I have n't yet.—Shall I do so?"
mdp.39015063552288	I hope you're not holding that against me?
mdp.39015063552288	I said your theories were cock- eyed and all full of holes, did n't I? mdp.39015063552288 I think we must all agree,"he spoke quietly, almost in a monotone,"that there never was perhaps a gather- ing quite like this one of ours?
mdp.39015063552288	I wonder!—If you really know anything of im- portance, why not speak up about it?
mdp.39015063552288	I would n't see you driven to devouring those pretty ear- rings for anything; will you drop in on us?
mdp.39015063552288	I?
mdp.39015063552288	If a beard at all, why? mdp.39015063552288 If it proves to be the same man, how did the girl get the foreign idea into her head?
mdp.39015063552288	Indeed?
mdp.39015063552288	Is that you, Miss Landreth?
mdp.39015063552288	Is there any connection between your various losses and the recent murder? mdp.39015063552288 It gives a phone number or address?"
mdp.39015063552288	It seemed to upset him?
mdp.39015063552288	It would appear then that he courted publicity? mdp.39015063552288 Janice Landreth, when Gateway remarked that you were a peach""We really must n't hang back like this, must we?
mdp.39015063552288	Just the same you'd like to know, eh?
mdp.39015063552288	Just the same"And your man,Savoy hurried on,"who killed him for robbery, went to work to steal his clothes, too?
mdp.39015063552288	Know where I saw him last? mdp.39015063552288 Know who her boss is, Amos?"
mdp.39015063552288	Like Mrs. Dillingham's just now?
mdp.39015063552288	Look here, Mr. Savoy,he said,"if you're afraid of more murder, why not head it off by making our arrest right now?"
mdp.39015063552288	Look here, you're a sort of friend of Mrs. Dillingham's, are n't you? mdp.39015063552288 May I explain myself?"
mdp.39015063552288	Maybe your sartorial intuition will direct? mdp.39015063552288 Miss Landreth,"begged Gateway,"will you do me a favor?"
mdp.39015063552288	Motive? mdp.39015063552288 Mr. Borchard is also my attorney — perhaps he will advise me to remain silent?"
mdp.39015063552288	Mr. Dean,asked Savoy, turning away from Chu Yung,"do you know who our Unknown was?"
mdp.39015063552288	Mr. Laufer- Hirth? mdp.39015063552288 Mr. Paradene, you have no more love for your niece than for the rest of humanity?"
mdp.39015063552288	Mr. Savoy? mdp.39015063552288 Never lived in Shanghai yourself?"
mdp.39015063552288	No? mdp.39015063552288 No?
mdp.39015063552288	Not cuff- links with initials on them?
mdp.39015063552288	Not even,said Savoy mildly,"if I ask you whether of late you have lost a great deal of money gambling?"
mdp.39015063552288	Not — not laundry marks? mdp.39015063552288 Notice?"
mdp.39015063552288	Now there's a story under A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY that, is n't there? mdp.39015063552288 Oh, do n't do that yet; there's always time before a man jumps off a cliff.—How about Gateway staying to dine, Amos?"
mdp.39015063552288	One forgets, does n't he?
mdp.39015063552288	Or a United States army officer?
mdp.39015063552288	Or, let's say it was that the murderer coveted some- thing the Victim had? mdp.39015063552288 Otherwise he would n't have come all that dis- tance to a town where he knew no one""All what distance?
mdp.39015063552288	Our sweet little Mr. Paradene did n't die after all, did he?
mdp.39015063552288	Perhaps some of these people are friends of yours?
mdp.39015063552288	Personally I prefer my metaphors mixed,said Savoy,"but just whose bull is it whose eye we've knocked out?"
mdp.39015063552288	Picture?
mdp.39015063552288	Princess?
mdp.39015063552288	Recently, Mr. Dean? mdp.39015063552288 Saw me, did you?
mdp.39015063552288	Say what's on your mind?
mdp.39015063552288	Screams, perhaps?
mdp.39015063552288	See any light, Paul?
mdp.39015063552288	Shall I be as frank and honest with him? mdp.39015063552288 Shall I continue?
mdp.39015063552288	Shall I count?
mdp.39015063552288	Shall the way of the West be the way of the East?
mdp.39015063552288	Since I am not permitted to explain myself, shall the rose do it, Mr. Paul Savoy?
mdp.39015063552288	Since the dark- blue suit was in the bag, he wore a lighter suit? mdp.39015063552288 So it was only bluff then?"
mdp.39015063552288	So then you sat back on your haunches again and did your best to size him up by the way he was dressed?
mdp.39015063552288	So you're content to go — and await until later to learn what we do tonight?
mdp.39015063552288	Still you gamble — and lose?
mdp.39015063552288	Striking, is n't he? mdp.39015063552288 Surely you and Mr. Laufer- Hirth have n't gone to bed, have you?
mdp.39015063552288	Sylvester Para- dene?
mdp.39015063552288	Sylvester Paradene was with him?
mdp.39015063552288	That business was with some one, maybe? mdp.39015063552288 That done, you rifled his pockets and found — nothing?"
mdp.39015063552288	That sort?
mdp.39015063552288	That young man of yours, the one who works with the Commercial Art Company — You have n't seen him yet, of course?
mdp.39015063552288	The Siren of the West, eh, Amos? mdp.39015063552288 The body at that moment was not undraped then?
mdp.39015063552288	The cloak then turned up here?
mdp.39015063552288	The sport of kings, eh? mdp.39015063552288 The truth?
mdp.39015063552288	Then why do you suppose they gave you the job?
mdp.39015063552288	Then you do think she may be in danger?
mdp.39015063552288	This is my fourth job — or is it the fifth? mdp.39015063552288 This stranger from Shanghai was not travelling under his own name; perhaps he meant to call himself Charles Kemp in San Francisco?
mdp.39015063552288	This stranger?
mdp.39015063552288	Those are the facts to begin with, I think? mdp.39015063552288 To be sure.—And is Mr. Larry Dean another good friend?"
mdp.39015063552288	To be sure.—Odd, is n't it, his running off the edge like that? mdp.39015063552288 To be sure.—Where'll we begin, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	To find a pinch of pow- der on his glass?
mdp.39015063552288	To the extent of wishing you dead?
mdp.39015063552288	Two, I think,said Savoy, asked:"May I?"
mdp.39015063552288	Waiting for Paul to get home?
mdp.39015063552288	Want to listen?
mdp.39015063552288	We are forced to ask ourselves,Savoy continued,"whether a man would betray a friend in order to save himself?
mdp.39015063552288	We did n't see eye to eye the value of'clues,'did we?
mdp.39015063552288	We do n't deal in suspicions here — do we, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	We were on the way to being real friends then, were n't we? mdp.39015063552288 We're to see Mr. Chu Yung himself, then?"
mdp.39015063552288	Well, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	Well, admitting he might be fox enough to have a fake alibi all ready — why down the peninsula? mdp.39015063552288 Well, ai n't it enough to scare a man?"
mdp.39015063552288	Well? mdp.39015063552288 Well?"
mdp.39015063552288	Well?
mdp.39015063552288	What are you talking about? mdp.39015063552288 What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063552288	What do you say, therefore, to postponing it until after breakfast? mdp.39015063552288 What do you want to do, help me or destroy all my confi- dence just as I'm trying to get it under steam?
mdp.39015063552288	What has happened?
mdp.39015063552288	What if I am?
mdp.39015063552288	What is it?
mdp.39015063552288	What of it? mdp.39015063552288 What on earth are you doing in Chinatown?"
mdp.39015063552288	What on earth are you talking about?
mdp.39015063552288	What ripples?
mdp.39015063552288	What story?
mdp.39015063552288	What the devil do you mean?
mdp.39015063552288	What things?
mdp.39015063552288	What's all this?
mdp.39015063552288	What's all this?
mdp.39015063552288	What's funny?
mdp.39015063552288	What's it to you? mdp.39015063552288 What's on your mind, Gateway?"
mdp.39015063552288	What's on your mind? mdp.39015063552288 What's the matter, old man?"
mdp.39015063552288	What, going already?
mdp.39015063552288	What?
mdp.39015063552288	When?
mdp.39015063552288	Where did he stay in the meantime, man? mdp.39015063552288 Where was he killed?"
mdp.39015063552288	Whither away, Dark Butterfly?
mdp.39015063552288	Who could?
mdp.39015063552288	Who is it?
mdp.39015063552288	Who knows but that little ones do the same? mdp.39015063552288 Who knows it is n't Mr. Paradene himself?
mdp.39015063552288	Who knows?
mdp.39015063552288	Who murdered him, and why?
mdp.39015063552288	Who was this man that got bumped off?
mdp.39015063552288	Who? mdp.39015063552288 Why all the enthusiasm, Gateway?"
mdp.39015063552288	Why is that detective here? mdp.39015063552288 Why should he be asking us to supper?
mdp.39015063552288	Why should there be any danger for her?
mdp.39015063552288	Will a cat lap cream?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you answer a question or two?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you answer a question or two?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you give me one moment?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you jot down a few suggestions in your little notebook?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you run through them and let your womanly intuition lead you among them?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you tell us what was the nature of this quar- rel?
mdp.39015063552288	Would it be any satisfaction to you, Tony, old man,he said lightly,"to step to the phone and tell Gateway to go take a running jump into the bay?"
mdp.39015063552288	Would you object to my asking Mrs. Dillingham what her name was before she married Mr. Dilling- ham? mdp.39015063552288 Yet it's odd, is n't it, that some one left the bag down there just a few hours before this thing hap- pened?
mdp.39015063552288	You agree with me then?
mdp.39015063552288	You and Casamajor are not exactly friendly, are you?
mdp.39015063552288	You and Mr. Casamajor are good friends too?
mdp.39015063552288	You are very fond of money and all that it brings, are n't you?
mdp.39015063552288	You had n't quite finished about the cloak, had you?
mdp.39015063552288	You have heard Gateway say that he means to be above- board with his colleague?
mdp.39015063552288	You have, by the way, a really good photo of the Unknown Victim? mdp.39015063552288 You knew him well?"
mdp.39015063552288	You lean toward my method, it would seem"Lean? mdp.39015063552288 You mean Alan Casamajor?
mdp.39015063552288	You mean Paradene must have known that that chap was coming over on that boat? mdp.39015063552288 You mean no woman is ever honest?
mdp.39015063552288	You mean the man that killed him shaved him afterward?
mdp.39015063552288	You mean you suspect me of having killed that man?
mdp.39015063552288	You mean — just guesswork?
mdp.39015063552288	You mean"Imagination? mdp.39015063552288 You mean, I take it, that you think you have something definite enough to set to work on?"
mdp.39015063552288	You perhaps knew Mr. Casamajor in China? mdp.39015063552288 You really did n't mean a word you said then?"
mdp.39015063552288	You recall the exact words?
mdp.39015063552288	You said, did n't you, that in Casamajor's garage there were the wrecks of two cars? mdp.39015063552288 You two, knowing everybody in San Francisco, must of course know some artist, a portrait painter preferably, who can make us a picture?"
mdp.39015063552288	You will, wo n't you, Gate- way?
mdp.39015063552288	You'll be making a night of it, I suppose?
mdp.39015063552288	You're something of an actress, are n't you?
mdp.39015063552288	You, fright- ened? mdp.39015063552288 You?"
mdp.39015063552288	Your heavy losses are all very recent, are n't they?
mdp.39015063552288	Your hunch was right,returned Savoy, and de- manded:"What now?
mdp.39015063552288	Your memory is unusually good for details, is n't it, Princess?
mdp.39015063552288	Your name is n't really Dean, is it?
mdp.39015063552288	Your uncle has told us that you and Mr. Borchard are very friendly?
mdp.39015063552288	she sets one pondering, eh, old boy?
mdp.39015063552288	', we'll start this way: He lived in San Francisco — or he did not live in San Francisco?
mdp.39015063552288	'— H'm; we've checked a lot of these, have n't we, Tony?
mdp.39015063552288	'— I hope you're not a sentimentalist?"

mdp.39015063552288	Again Paul Savoy said:"Danger?"
mdp.39015063552288	Again Prentis shot a sharp glance at Borchard and again he said:"How about it, Bill?"

mdp.39015063552288	Am I right?
mdp.39015063552288	An apart- ment in San Francisco and some sort of a home down the Peninsula?"
mdp.39015063552288	An eager hand closed on his arm, and an eager voice said:"It's Detective Gateway, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	And added to that,'You're a sort 02 A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY of friend of Mark's, are n't you?'
mdp.39015063552288	And added,"Why not hear it out?"
mdp.39015063552288	And after the accomplished fact what would a grateful Mr. X do?
mdp.39015063552288	And after this do you still think that you can hug your secrets to your breasts any longer?
mdp.39015063552288	And did he say when he would have it done?"
mdp.39015063552288	And have you ever noticed how the long shots do now and then come galloping home?"
mdp.39015063552288	And if we establish a single fact about him, it will lead to something else, wo n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	And into what quarters will investigation run?'"
mdp.39015063552288	And now comes the question: Whose coat?
mdp.39015063552288	And now how about taking our first step out into those fresh pastures which we promised ourselves?
mdp.39015063552288	And now?"
mdp.39015063552288	And now?"
mdp.39015063552288	And so, returning to our starting point, we ask:'What fact in her blank past could possibly put her present fortune in jeopardy?'
mdp.39015063552288	And still no one stepping up to identify him?"
mdp.39015063552288	And that is my room?"
mdp.39015063552288	And the telegram?"
mdp.39015063552288	And then to stick him in a taxi?
mdp.39015063552288	And what did he do with the car afterward?—Whose car would you have used, were you Mr. X, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	And what do you suppose?
mdp.39015063552288	And what do you think he did?"
mdp.39015063552288	And what else do you remember, Mr. Casamajor?
mdp.39015063552288	And what's it all about?"
mdp.39015063552288	And where do you suppose it was found?"
mdp.39015063552288	And where you lived as a girl?"
mdp.39015063552288	And whether she, at any time, knew the Unknown Victim?
mdp.39015063552288	And you — you,"she said with a wistful look he had never seen in her brimming eyes,"are a friend too, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063552288	And — Is n't it curious? — your friend Mr.
mdp.39015063552288	And""Where's Casamajor?"
mdp.39015063552288	And, finally, whether if she did know him, he wore beard and mustache or was clean- shaven?"
mdp.39015063552288	Andregg and I have been cooking up some other ideas for you, eh, Tony?"
mdp.39015063552288	Andregg, will you set down these points?
mdp.39015063552288	Any luck anywhere?"
mdp.39015063552288	Are we to assume it was merely a coinci- dence?"
mdp.39015063552288	Are you all in this thing together, hanging together like poor damned lost souls that are afraid of hanging separately?"
mdp.39015063552288	As all found chairs he said lightly:"Who told you we were due to- night?"
mdp.39015063552288	At a hotel?
mdp.39015063552288	At about what time, do you remember?"
mdp.39015063552288	Beyond that I wo n't commit myself right now, but that ought to be enough for you?
mdp.39015063552288	Borchard?"
mdp.39015063552288	Borchard?"
mdp.39015063552288	But I have no memory, no knowledge of this thing — Am I mad then?
mdp.39015063552288	But almost instantly she sobered; it was in a necessarily hushed voice that she exclaimed:"Did you ever dream that such a little wretch ex- isted?"
mdp.39015063552288	But are you coming?
mdp.39015063552288	But if Larry Dean had committed the murder and then had dropped the cloak at Casamajor's door, would this have been the subtle act of a Mr. X?
mdp.39015063552288	But in due course we'll find the stock gambling which Mr. Dean mentions or something of the kind, wo n't we?
mdp.39015063552288	But say for the moment that you're right; then, of what order were the garments that they'd tell so much?"
mdp.39015063552288	But what's this about San Mateo or Burlingame?"
mdp.39015063552288	But you'll do it, wo n't you, Janice?"
mdp.39015063552288	By now you've all seen the papers, have n't you?
mdp.39015063552288	By the way, we'll want a copy of every paper for every day, beginning say a couple of days before the murder; you can get them for us right away?"
mdp.39015063552288	By the way, you've had Paradene's invitation?"
mdp.39015063552288	CHAPTER VI 1"Do ripples ever stop, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063552288	Ca n't you imagine panels sliding stealthily, trap- doors opening, villainous faces peering through?"
mdp.39015063552288	Can you beat it?"
mdp.39015063552288	Can you find out how many of Paradene's guests stayed all night?
mdp.39015063552288	Can you picture him adding so recklessly and foolhardily to his risks by challenging attention in a widely advertised stolen car?
mdp.39015063552288	Casamajor?"
mdp.39015063552288	Casamajor?"
mdp.39015063552288	Consider what I've just said about Paradene's interest, then ask yourself,'Why should he set his house- party for that particular time?'"
mdp.39015063552288	Could Dean have had the physical strength, the courage and the cool nerve required?
mdp.39015063552288	Could n't 98 A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY you tell him for an artist?
mdp.39015063552288	Counting upon her passion- ate love of money did you anticipate that she would cling hard and fast to what she felt was at least mor- ally hers?
mdp.39015063552288	Did he next return to Bur- lingame, fire the garage and creep back to bed?
mdp.39015063552288	Did she even follow him, I wonder, through the woods as he went to Casamajor's garage?
mdp.39015063552288	Did she fear that he went to meet some other woman?
mdp.39015063552288	Did she see her lover when he crept out of the house that night?
mdp.39015063552288	Did she watch, shuddering in the dark, when he dealt with the dead body of his victim?
mdp.39015063552288	Did that letter even make an appointment with him at some late hour, after the rest of us were to be abed?"
mdp.39015063552288	Did they happen to include the small toilet accessories?
mdp.39015063552288	Did you ever brood over the personals and lost and found ads?"
mdp.39015063552288	Did you guess or did you learn from him that he was the husband who was supposed to be dead?
mdp.39015063552288	Did you know him?"
mdp.39015063552288	Did you, when you killed Bertram Casamajor, count that at last the Dillingham millions were your millions?"
mdp.39015063552288	Dillingham?"
mdp.39015063552288	Dillingham?"
mdp.39015063552288	Dillingham?"
mdp.39015063552288	Do n't you know I'll dig it out despite you?
mdp.39015063552288	Do n't you realize that we've made tremendous progress?
mdp.39015063552288	Do we agree?"
mdp.39015063552288	Do you believe in the least in what is termed a woman's intuition?"
mdp.39015063552288	Do you happen to realize that one of the most wonderful sights in the world is the shimmer of wet sidewalks in a city at night?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you know the details?"
mdp.39015063552288	Do you know who tried to poison Mr. Paradene?
mdp.39015063552288	Do you mind if, when we return to it, we have a light like this?"
mdp.39015063552288	Do you take warning that we are about to deal in private affairs with utter abandon?
mdp.39015063552288	Docketed in the Homicide Department as the Mystery of the Unknown Victim!—At least you know what sort of a man he was?"
mdp.39015063552288	During the last couple of weeks?"
mdp.39015063552288	Eh, Tony?"
mdp.39015063552288	Ever hear of Detectology?
mdp.39015063552288	Fair enough, so far, but how did Mr. X learn so promptly that his Victim- to- be was in town?
mdp.39015063552288	For a certain kind of clay on his shoes and a lodge seal on his ring?
mdp.39015063552288	For if he had represented some firm, would n't he have communicated with his headquarters within ten days?
mdp.39015063552288	For initialled cuff- buttons and handkerchiefs?
mdp.39015063552288	Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	Got that?
mdp.39015063552288	Had it failed him all of a sudden, after the thing was done?"
mdp.39015063552288	Hardly any more convincing than the first explanation, eh, Gateway?"
mdp.39015063552288	Have I done things that I know nothing of?
mdp.39015063552288	Have I gone stark mad?
mdp.39015063552288	Have n't I already admitted that I made a mess of things?
mdp.39015063552288	Have n't your heaviest losses been since July 8?"
mdp.39015063552288	Have you an explanation to offer?"
mdp.39015063552288	Have you spoken with your city editor about the idea?"
mdp.39015063552288	He asked her bluntly:"Have you any idea, Princess, who killed that man?"
mdp.39015063552288	He asked himself, being hu- man,'Am I already suspected?
mdp.39015063552288	He began muttering under his breath and Gateway lemed close to catch the words:"... why should n't I be right now?
mdp.39015063552288	He caught his breath and added,"Dammit get outa the way ca n't you?"
mdp.39015063552288	He dined here; you'll recall that that night all of you were Mr. Paradene's guests?
mdp.39015063552288	He ended by saying lightly:"Tell us, Janice, about your new assignments?
mdp.39015063552288	He glanced at the others, asking quietly:"Am I in error?"
mdp.39015063552288	He has only recently returned from Shanghai and""Returned from where?"
mdp.39015063552288	He left the blue sedan in Alan Casamajor's garage""What are you saying?"
mdp.39015063552288	He lifted his brows, saying merely,"What then?"
mdp.39015063552288	He made a clean sweep of removing everything his victim had on him, even to his clothes.—Why?"
mdp.39015063552288	He sipped at his coffee, emptied the cup, set it aside and asked:"How many pieds- a- terre has this chap Casamajor then?
mdp.39015063552288	He's Charlie Edwards and""Why not get him on the phone and tell him not to fire her?"
mdp.39015063552288	He's waiting outside in his car; I'm going with him to see some new pic- tures at the Art Gallery""Going with Alan Casamajor, did you say?"
mdp.39015063552288	Here we go:'Who was he?'"
mdp.39015063552288	His slightly elevated brows asked,"Why?"
mdp.39015063552288	How about getting that bright young man, Lan- nigan of the district attorney's office, on the phone?
mdp.39015063552288	How about the various items on your list, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	How are we to suppose that he accomplished this feat?"
mdp.39015063552288	How could such a thing be?
mdp.39015063552288	How could you assume he was killed in a blue sedan?"
mdp.39015063552288	How do I know whether she's running some risk or not?
mdp.39015063552288	How do we know he did n't just drop down from Sacramento?"
mdp.39015063552288	How much, I wonder?
mdp.39015063552288	How shall I set about it?"
mdp.39015063552288	How shall it be then regarding the poor little Princess Perenella?
mdp.39015063552288	How then of all sorts of human acts large or small?
mdp.39015063552288	How would the Tipper then have sent that word?
mdp.39015063552288	How would you set about getting it, being sure to leave no sign to point to you later on?"
mdp.39015063552288	How, for example, unless you knew, could you surmise that your Unknown Victim wore a beard and red necktie?
mdp.39015063552288	Hunting wild boars or lions?
mdp.39015063552288	I am on my way to drop in on her — Will you come with me?"
mdp.39015063552288	I see in his eye that he's upset about something; something tragic, you know""Tragic?"
mdp.39015063552288	I think I heard it whispered, did n't I, Amos, that the cocktails had arrived at the state of perfection?"
mdp.39015063552288	I think that all goes well, eh, Gateway?"
mdp.39015063552288	I thought it was queerly like this emblem on my ring — a crux ansata — my lucky sign""Crux ansata, symbol of eternal life — or death's- head?"
mdp.39015063552288	I too am going.—Coming, Janice?"
mdp.39015063552288	I warn every one of you, for each of you seems to know something and — Ca n't you poor fools under- stand?"
mdp.39015063552288	I will spend money like water to get what I am after""Have n't you learned yet that you ca n't get anything that way?"
mdp.39015063552288	I wonder how you did it, Mr. Chu Yung?"
mdp.39015063552288	I wonder whether that might explain the gum- chewer's impression of him that he was foreign?"
mdp.39015063552288	I'd rather like to explain to you, if I were sure I were not boring you?
mdp.39015063552288	I'm having the comb and brush examined""A razor, Gateway?"
mdp.39015063552288	I've a theory""What did I tell you?"
mdp.39015063552288	I've found the mysterious lady who lost the cloak — though really she's not in the least mysterious as we supposed""Did we suppose that?"
mdp.39015063552288	If he did send such a mes- sage, I think that we can suppose the message was urgent?
mdp.39015063552288	If he did, was the place some- where on one of the highways down the Peninsula?
mdp.39015063552288	If he feels that he has cause to fear any one of us what do you suppose he will do about it?
mdp.39015063552288	If personally interested, he'd want to know, would n't he, the out- come?
mdp.39015063552288	If so, our question becomes: Why wait so long to fire the garage unless he was using Casamajor's old car?
mdp.39015063552288	If we cared to pause for a bit of specula- tion — You are sure that you caught Casamajor sleep- walking last night?"
mdp.39015063552288	If you had n't taken me on this cruise and fought the fight out with"We licked the enemy, too, did n't we?
mdp.39015063552288	In the end he countered a second time, demanding:"What makes you suppose that I know who he was?"
mdp.39015063552288	In the end would n't they have 36 A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY questioned the police?
mdp.39015063552288	In the first place Mr. X was wearing his own, was n't he?
mdp.39015063552288	In this case I make my guess, or we'll call it my speculation — and how the devil am I to know whether I hit a bull's- eye or missed it wide?"
mdp.39015063552288	In this wretched light you've gotten your- self lost looking for the door, have n't you?
mdp.39015063552288	Is boredom contagious, and did he catch it from you?"
mdp.39015063552288	Is his the clear logical brain?
mdp.39015063552288	Is it that it is given your eyes to see truths that are hid from mine?"
mdp.39015063552288	Is that the sort of man our Mr. X is?
mdp.39015063552288	Is the entire affair the sort of thing which would have suggested itself to Evans or Malloy?
mdp.39015063552288	It was a foggy cold night, was n't it, with all other people on the street wearing topcoats with their collars up about their ears?
mdp.39015063552288	It was covered — with what?"
mdp.39015063552288	It's a hard, cold, cruel old world, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	It's just possible that that was what he was up to, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	It's only a couple of weeks after all since the thing happened; somewhere along the way who knows but that he has left some sign behind him?"
mdp.39015063552288	It's quite possible, you know, that the fellow wore a beard when he landed""And hurried to get it taken off?"
mdp.39015063552288	It's said to be his search for subjects — Or do you suppose that's merely an excuse?
mdp.39015063552288	It's table gossip for the town by now, but have n't we other and more important matters on our minds?"
mdp.39015063552288	It's to be check and double check?
mdp.39015063552288	Janice, will you come?"
mdp.39015063552288	Just do n't emphasize the coat more than is necessary""And when we get the painting?"
mdp.39015063552288	Just what?
mdp.39015063552288	Later on you'll tell us?"
mdp.39015063552288	Laufer- Hirth, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	Laufer- Hirth?"
mdp.39015063552288	Laufer- Hirth?"
mdp.39015063552288	May I take a bit of time?"
mdp.39015063552288	Maybe with a tailor's tag in them that would get us started""Maybe the costume of a priest?"
mdp.39015063552288	Maybe yes, maybe no?
mdp.39015063552288	Maybe yes, maybe no?
mdp.39015063552288	Men are fickle beasts, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063552288	Most men would have stopped, would n't they?
mdp.39015063552288	Mr. Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	Mr. X moves forward — to what?
mdp.39015063552288	Mrs. Dillingham, appearing for the first time to be conscious of her negligee, demanded indignantly:"Am I to go all day dressed like this?"
mdp.39015063552288	My interest in crime now?
mdp.39015063552288	Next question, Why fire it at all?
mdp.39015063552288	Next, what about Perenella?
mdp.39015063552288	No tan shoes in the bag — then on his feet?
mdp.39015063552288	Not a bur- glar or anything of that kind, I hope?
mdp.39015063552288	Not even yourself, Princess?"
mdp.39015063552288	Nothing foreign about the clothes in the bag, was there?"
mdp.39015063552288	Nothing of great consequence — but something which for an instant diverted your attention?"
mdp.39015063552288	Now tell me, man, if that cloak were wrapped about your Unknown Victim, would n't that hole just about match the wounds in his left side?"
mdp.39015063552288	Now, Janice, my dear, shall I see what he makes of the Adventure of the Beautiful Lady and the Powder Puff?"
mdp.39015063552288	One does n't say,'No questions asked'if the article referred to is merely lost, does one?"
mdp.39015063552288	One never knows.—Or subtlety and trickery to the end?
mdp.39015063552288	One of them stepped to the car and demanded:"Well?
mdp.39015063552288	Only — only who knows I'll still be asso- ciated with the great molder of public opinion when all that happens?
mdp.39015063552288	Or a blanket or robe of some sort?
mdp.39015063552288	Or am I, when I got something to say, to speak up?"
mdp.39015063552288	Or did he live elsewhere?'
mdp.39015063552288	Or do you think that you know?
mdp.39015063552288	Or have you any sus- picion?"
mdp.39015063552288	Or is it night?"
mdp.39015063552288	Or is some other person 214 A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY here the one who is suspected?'
mdp.39015063552288	Or my pale lavendars — Shall it be rose lights?
mdp.39015063552288	Or shall I withhold from him my secret knowledge?"
mdp.39015063552288	Or something else we'll think of later that would be distinguished by a uniform of some sort?
mdp.39015063552288	Or that he is n't at least hand- in- glove with Mr. X?
mdp.39015063552288	Or was this really the purpose of his visit?
mdp.39015063552288	Or with his slayer?
mdp.39015063552288	Or with the man we'll distinguish for the moment as your Master Criminal?"
mdp.39015063552288	Or with the taxi itself, and its peregrinations during the night?
mdp.39015063552288	Or would he have come himself?
mdp.39015063552288	Or, in this community of some million souls was it just by sheer chance that Mr. X so swiftly discovered his man?
mdp.39015063552288	Ordinary mail?
mdp.39015063552288	Otherwise how could I at the first sight of you tell you what your favorite rose is?"
mdp.39015063552288	P.?"
mdp.39015063552288	Paul Savoy bounded to his feet, his eyes seeming to catch fire as he exclaimed excitedly:"Ca n't you see?
mdp.39015063552288	Perhaps even he went to some considerable personal danger to insure it?"
mdp.39015063552288	Perhaps, while they awaited for Mr. Larry Dean who was yet to arrive, she would care to have him show her over the place?
mdp.39015063552288	Possibly even fifty per cent of the time?
mdp.39015063552288	Question: Which one is under that book?"
mdp.39015063552288	Quien sabe?
mdp.39015063552288	Quite clear, is n't it?
mdp.39015063552288	Ready?"
mdp.39015063552288	Right?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy accepted a glass and a cigarette and thereafter remarked:"Oh, I suppose we're all sentimentalists in one way or another, are n't we?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy had put it up to Janice, had he, to figure out how Mr. X would come at a woman's hat if he needed one?
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy settled the matter for him by saying:"Can you drop in on me in the morning, say about ten?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy turned to his secretary with the request:"Tony, old man, how about bringing in the portable and some paper for a few notes?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Savoy?"
mdp.39015063552288	Seems unlikely, does n't it?
mdp.39015063552288	Seven?
mdp.39015063552288	Shall I go on — Janice?"
mdp.39015063552288	Shall we concern ourselves with the victim first?
mdp.39015063552288	So Gate- way — The word is, Go ahead, eh?"
mdp.39015063552288	So I beg you to tell me whether he would have gone straightway to Mr. X at some lonely spot, some spot ideally and excellently adapted to murder?
mdp.39015063552288	So let's begin with him and ask,'Who was he?'"
mdp.39015063552288	So never a word in the papers, eh?"
mdp.39015063552288	So, Why the fire?"
mdp.39015063552288	Some one has been here of late — you never can tell — Keep close to the wall, will you?"
mdp.39015063552288	Something about Truth being the daughter of Time?"
mdp.39015063552288	Sounds like a conundrum, does n't it?
mdp.39015063552288	Sounds reason- able, does n't it?
mdp.39015063552288	Speaking your own language, what motive did he have?"
mdp.39015063552288	Stag- hunt- 12o A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY ing?
mdp.39015063552288	Staying long in San Francisco?"
mdp.39015063552288	Stearns of the Morning Chron""Reporter, eh?"
mdp.39015063552288	Suppose that he did n't do anything of the kind?"
mdp.39015063552288	Suppose you ponder the tout ensemble and guess at the topcoat?
mdp.39015063552288	Sure of it?
mdp.39015063552288	Surely the bright tie?
mdp.39015063552288	Take a simple example: Say, if a car goes steadily at forty miles an hour, how long will it require to travel eighty miles?
mdp.39015063552288	Telegraph?
mdp.39015063552288	Telephone?
mdp.39015063552288	That he knew there would be trouble, and wanted to be where he could sit back and watch?"
mdp.39015063552288	That pretty well disposes of your'thousand motives,'eh?"
mdp.39015063552288	That's clear, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	The clothes, you say, were removed because they would give something away?
mdp.39015063552288	The first question becomes: Whose car did he use?
mdp.39015063552288	The girl helped iden- tify him?"
mdp.39015063552288	The hair was light brown, I take it, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	The kings are Mr. Paul Savoy and Detective Charles Gateway; but they're our friends, my dears, and surely they are going to let fall a few titbits?"
mdp.39015063552288	The murder happened within striking distance of San Francisco, did n't it?
mdp.39015063552288	The name and ad- dress of the evidently irate owner are given; ready?"
mdp.39015063552288	The question is, Why?
mdp.39015063552288	The question is, shall I assure Mr. Paradene that you'll bring the others with you?
mdp.39015063552288	The questions become: Just when and just where was the murder committed?
mdp.39015063552288	The subtlety of mind?
mdp.39015063552288	The wounds themselves, the fact that there was no weapon in the taxi — Oh, you made that clear enough, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063552288	Then he pursed his lips and demanded:"But what if they wo n't all come?
mdp.39015063552288	Then,"May I be excused a moment?"
mdp.39015063552288	Therefore, will you strive to get a line on any and all servants of any of our little circle?
mdp.39015063552288	Think the fe'now over and tell me — Do you see him wearing that diamond and flourishing his money?"
mdp.39015063552288	To Gateway he said crisply:"If I know you at all I know that you've got men somewhere near?"
mdp.39015063552288	To get an answer to our question,'Who was he?
mdp.39015063552288	Tooth brush, tooth paste, perhaps, with comb and brush and so forth?"
mdp.39015063552288	Trade bein'slow an'her bein'lively, she was willin'to talk, you know""Want to hold your job, Henneberry?"
mdp.39015063552288	Was it murder — or accident?
mdp.39015063552288	Was she the guilty one, and did she take her own life last night because she grew panicky, thinking we were on her track?
mdp.39015063552288	Was the other also a closed model?"
mdp.39015063552288	Was this sud- den request which Casamajor made of Janice a further indication of the man's unpremeditated impetuosity?
mdp.39015063552288	Was this the very beginning of a young love story — or the fag end of an old love story?
mdp.39015063552288	We ask ourselves, when?
mdp.39015063552288	We ask,'Does Borchard possess those various qualities for which we must look in Mr. X; first, boldness and sheer physical strength?'
mdp.39015063552288	We ask,'Would Casamajor have had the physical strength, the courage, the brain for this horror?'
mdp.39015063552288	We get at least an insight into our Master Criminal's character, do n't we?"
mdp.39015063552288	We'll make mistakes, as I've promised you, but my point is: Wo n't we be right part of the time?
mdp.39015063552288	We're asking why he carried out his plans in this peculiar way; why not begin far- ther back and ask why he killed the poor devil?
mdp.39015063552288	We're giving the poor man none too much time for table arrangements, are we?
mdp.39015063552288	Well, that's a step in the right direction, is n't it?
mdp.39015063552288	Were they at home that afternoon, or already at Paradene's?"
mdp.39015063552288	Were they, I wonder, the last lines of a letter she had written Borchard only yesterday?
mdp.39015063552288	What a fortunate man is Chu Yung tonight!—Ah, Mr. Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	What about him?
mdp.39015063552288	What about motive, then?"
mdp.39015063552288	What am I going to do in the mean- time?
mdp.39015063552288	What are you driving at, Amos?"
mdp.39015063552288	What are you talking about?
mdp.39015063552288	What are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063552288	What do they want?"
mdp.39015063552288	What had happened to all his shrewdness?
mdp.39015063552288	What happened?"
mdp.39015063552288	What have you got to say for yourself?"
mdp.39015063552288	What hour?
mdp.39015063552288	What kind of clothes?"
mdp.39015063552288	What little thing hap- pened there in that office that day?
mdp.39015063552288	What million dol- lars?"
mdp.39015063552288	What would be the situation if she were not his widow at all?"
mdp.39015063552288	What's this new road you're talking about?"
mdp.39015063552288	When did it get here?
mdp.39015063552288	When he was living in Shanghai?"
mdp.39015063552288	When one asks,'Which would have been less con- spicuous, a man helping and lifting another man into a taxi or a man doing these offices for a woman?'
mdp.39015063552288	When shall we three meet again?
mdp.39015063552288	When they could n't get any line on him would n't they have wondered still further?
mdp.39015063552288	Where is the subtlety in this thorough- going style of putting up signboards at both his front and A CASE FOR MR. PAUL SAVOY 305 pocket, did n't you?
mdp.39015063552288	Where'd it come from, man?
mdp.39015063552288	Where'd you find it?
mdp.39015063552288	Which?"
mdp.39015063552288	Which?"
mdp.39015063552288	While we're paying compli- ments may I tell you that you look like a frisky bay colt?"
mdp.39015063552288	Who is it?"
mdp.39015063552288	Who is that other man, Mr. Savoy, who has such disturbing eyes when they look at one?
mdp.39015063552288	Who would n't?
mdp.39015063552288	Whoever it is ca n't you tend to him?"
mdp.39015063552288	Whose coat then?"
mdp.39015063552288	Whose, in that case, and where obtained?
mdp.39015063552288	Why carried, at some risk, to Chu Yung's?
mdp.39015063552288	Why did my uncle send for him?
mdp.39015063552288	Why force?"
mdp.39015063552288	Why not?"
mdp.39015063552288	Why should a man like him wear a beard?
mdp.39015063552288	Why should he want any more publicity than he had to have?"
mdp.39015063552288	Why should n't she?"
mdp.39015063552288	Why should n't we have been told before of this telegram?
mdp.39015063552288	Why should n't we see Gateway then?
mdp.39015063552288	Why, if a man hit right answers only a third of the time — a quarter of the time — What the devil are you looking at like that?"
mdp.39015063552288	Why?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you ask him whether there was as much of a show of beard as he would normally expect on a man several hours after death?"
mdp.39015063552288	Will you give it to him?"
mdp.39015063552288	Will you have another chat with your police surgeon?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you look carefully at it again?"
mdp.39015063552288	Will you repeat slowly, Mr. Savoy?
mdp.39015063552288	Will you tell him to come ahead, Tony?—All right, Amos?"
mdp.39015063552288	Will you think I'm simply silly?
mdp.39015063552288	With friends?
mdp.39015063552288	With the man we'll call, for want of his name, the Unknown Victim?
mdp.39015063552288	With whom?"
mdp.39015063552288	Working that backward, would you say, Mr. Savoy, that the fewer clues, the easier the case?"
mdp.39015063552288	Would he have had the cool nerve requisite?
mdp.39015063552288	Would he have had the steady hand for it?
mdp.39015063552288	Would he have had the subtlety of mind for this thing?"
mdp.39015063552288	Would he perhaps be glad of the chance to cast suspicion on Alan Casamajor?
mdp.39015063552288	Would n't their letters to him have been accumulating at some hotel — and would n't you have learned of them before now?
mdp.39015063552288	Would n't they have tried to reach him by wire?
mdp.39015063552288	Would n't they have wired again and tried to get him on the long- distance phone?
mdp.39015063552288	Would n't they have wondered about him?
mdp.39015063552288	Would you balk at murder, if you thought you yourself were safe?"
mdp.39015063552288	Would you mind ringing him right away?"
mdp.39015063552288	Would you object to my asking her whether she ever lived in Shanghai?
mdp.39015063552288	Would you?
mdp.39015063552288	X?"
mdp.39015063552288	Yet the eagerness was still in his voice when he put the chief question:"You found something definite in the bag?"
mdp.39015063552288	You are on the case of the Unknown Gent found Dead in a Taxi!—Can I stick one and one together or ca n't I?"
mdp.39015063552288	You begin to get me, eh?
mdp.39015063552288	You do n't think somebody's butler did the killing, do you?"
mdp.39015063552288	You know how it goes:'We sailed into a blue lagoon of the Island of Mag- nolias, and'""Need it be true?"
mdp.39015063552288	You know nothing of that scrap of ancient history, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063552288	You mean you did n't look for tailors'tags and laundry marks?
mdp.39015063552288	You nail me there, eh, Gateway?
mdp.39015063552288	You say it's got neither me nor any one of you a single step forward?
mdp.39015063552288	You'd be up and doing?"
mdp.39015063552288	You're going to give me the other exclusive story after all, are n't you?
mdp.39015063552288	You're setting a trap for me, are you?
mdp.39015063552288	You've got a case that has you stuck — and you're going to make me eat crow or you'll pin the jackass's ears on me this trip?"
mdp.39015063552288	You've got wind of Mr. Savoy's farce, eh?
mdp.39015063552288	You've met him already no doubt?
mdp.39015063552288	You've noticed how the right- hand margin of this thing comes right up to the edge of the paper, some words broken off?
mdp.39015063552288	Your own?"
mdp.39015063552288	Your police surgeon could n't say definitely when the man was killed, but he must have made some sort of estimate?
mdp.39015063552288	he announced between a screech and a groan, whereupon Savoy remarked drawlingly:"I've been wondering whether Mr. Dean got the mil- lion dollars?"
mdp.39015063552288	mused Savoy, and added thoughtfully,"Young Alan Casamajor is a friend of yours, is n't he?
mdp.39015063552288	the idea of the cloak is really forced on us, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063552288	«"Have you any idea who killed him?"
mdp.39015063552288	— I hope nothing has happened of late to — to dash our friendship on the rocks?"
mdp.39015063552288	— so that she would know that she had no legal right to the Dillingham estate?
mdp.39015063959442	A what?
mdp.39015063959442	And how will you proceed on your arrival?
mdp.39015063959442	And if there'd been anything smouldering in here I should have found it when I was looking for the smell of paraffin, shouldn'-t^I?
mdp.39015063959442	And of course he got in touch with you again when he was released from prison?
mdp.39015063959442	And what do you think happened?
mdp.39015063959442	And what's the old- fashioned way?
mdp.39015063959442	And who are we, I'd like to know?
mdp.39015063959442	And who might you be?
mdp.39015063959442	And who told you, I'd like to know?
mdp.39015063959442	And why is that?
mdp.39015063959442	And you're perfectly certain that you have n't seen or heard of him since?
mdp.39015063959442	Any luck, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063959442	Any news of the chap who broke into Pad- dock Croft last Saturday, by the way?
mdp.39015063959442	As being apparently the more truthful of the two?
mdp.39015063959442	Because I had n't been home first, see? mdp.39015063959442 Bit early for you to be riding round these parts, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959442	But how, when, and where did she murder the man? mdp.39015063959442 But how?"
mdp.39015063959442	But what does he want hanging about the hopper huts at night, that's what I want to know? mdp.39015063959442 But whatever put it into your head to accuse him of having murdered Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	But whoever would have killed him, if not Lavis?
mdp.39015063959442	By somebody from outside the house, sir?
mdp.39015063959442	Can you describe to me how the movement was driven?
mdp.39015063959442	Can you tell us, Mr. Pershore, what piece of furniture stood there?
mdp.39015063959442	Did Lavis come up while this was going on?
mdp.39015063959442	Did Sea Joe ever bring any friends with him on these oc- casions?
mdp.39015063959442	Did Wright's nephew see him fall off his bicycle?
mdp.39015063959442	Did her benevolent attitude toward Elver continue after his arrest?
mdp.39015063959442	Did you at that time attach any particular in- THE HARVEST MURDER 51 terest to the possible existence of this girl?
mdp.39015063959442	Did you give him any money?
mdp.39015063959442	Did you happen to hear her name?
mdp.39015063959442	Did you try and find out where the smell came from?
mdp.39015063959442	Did you?
mdp.39015063959442	Do I gather that this man has not yet been apprehended for the burglary?
mdp.39015063959442	Do you happen to know what he was doing before he came down here?
mdp.39015063959442	Do you mean that?
mdp.39015063959442	Do you remember what happened as you came out of the Chequers? mdp.39015063959442 Do you suppose that the two have met since Elver's re- lease?"
mdp.39015063959442	Do you want a word with me? mdp.39015063959442 Do you wish to make any statement?"
mdp.39015063959442	Does it often happen that a local man marries one of the pickers?
mdp.39015063959442	Does your husband know where he's gone to?
mdp.39015063959442	Enjoying yourself down here this year?
mdp.39015063959442	Enjoying yourself, Inspector?
mdp.39015063959442	Fallen off his bicycle, had he? mdp.39015063959442 Feeling lonely, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063959442	Got his notice?
mdp.39015063959442	Harold, would you be good enough to find me Grose's Criminal Investigation?
mdp.39015063959442	Has it ever occurred to you that the tea you drank at Mrs. Hawkins'shop was probably doped?
mdp.39015063959442	Has it never occurred to you that Elver may be dead?
mdp.39015063959442	Have any of you people ever seen anybody like this?
mdp.39015063959442	Have you any direct evi- dence against him?
mdp.39015063959442	Have you any idea how it started?
mdp.39015063959442	Have you any idea what started the fire?
mdp.39015063959442	Have you taken any steps to confirm that information?
mdp.39015063959442	He did n't say anything to you about going out of Lon- don for a week- end?
mdp.39015063959442	He was employed by Mr. Pershore at one time, was n't he?
mdp.39015063959442	He's pretty well off, is n't he?
mdp.39015063959442	He? mdp.39015063959442 Hello, is that you, Jimmy?"
mdp.39015063959442	How I first met Chris? mdp.39015063959442 How about the unfortunate victim?
mdp.39015063959442	How could he do that when he did n't know where I was? mdp.39015063959442 How did you come to see the bungalow was burning?"
mdp.39015063959442	How did you meet him?
mdp.39015063959442	How do you account for the knife having human blood- stains upon it?
mdp.39015063959442	How do you get hold of these extra hands?
mdp.39015063959442	How do you know he has n't gone far?
mdp.39015063959442	How do you know that he came from London?
mdp.39015063959442	How do you suppose that Elver really employed him- self that Saturday afternoon in Mailing?
mdp.39015063959442	How else do you account for his coming here and asking for you?
mdp.39015063959442	How should I have met her? mdp.39015063959442 How should I know where he is at this moment?"
mdp.39015063959442	Hullo, is that you, Sergeant? mdp.39015063959442 I beg your pardon?"
mdp.39015063959442	I daresay I'll take it, but what's the good of that?
mdp.39015063959442	I expect you remember the case well enough, do n't you?
mdp.39015063959442	I expect you smoke, do n't you, Miss Rivers?
mdp.39015063959442	I have your promise to come down and help, sir?
mdp.39015063959442	I see, and you've kept up the acquaintance ever since?
mdp.39015063959442	I wonder if we might ask a favour of you, Mr. Velley? mdp.39015063959442 I wonder if you could let me have a cardboard box and a few sheets of newspaper?"
mdp.39015063959442	I wonder if you'd care to tell me how you first met him?
mdp.39015063959442	I've a right to know what that charge is, have n't I?
mdp.39015063959442	In hop picking time?
mdp.39015063959442	Is your dad about any- where? mdp.39015063959442 It does n't leak, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959442	It might have occurred to me, sir, but where should I have found a fire of sufficient intensity at that time of night? mdp.39015063959442 It was here that he spoke to you on Saturday, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063959442	Lavis, who lives at Park Gate, was in your employ at one time, was he not, sir?
mdp.39015063959442	Lavis? mdp.39015063959442 Lavis?"
mdp.39015063959442	May I suggest that it is extremely difficult entirely to consume a human body? mdp.39015063959442 Not a suitable match, you think?"
mdp.39015063959442	Not hidden under a bed, or in a cupboard or anything like that?
mdp.39015063959442	Oh, Sergeant, whatever will Mr. Pershore say when he hears of this?
mdp.39015063959442	Oh, so you thought you might want it, did you?
mdp.39015063959442	Oh, you were familiar with his signature, were you? mdp.39015063959442 On the principle that evil communications corrupt good manners, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959442	Rake the fires out?
mdp.39015063959442	Rather unchivalrous of you, was n't it?
mdp.39015063959442	So a name was mentioned, was it? mdp.39015063959442 So that's how you came to meet Mrs. Hawkins, is it?"
mdp.39015063959442	So you suspect Lavis of having done the trick, do you?
mdp.39015063959442	Surely it would have occurred to you that the safest way of disposing of a human body is to destroy it completely by fire?
mdp.39015063959442	The furniture was of great value then, sir?
mdp.39015063959442	Then since he is still at large, how can you be certain that he committed the burglary?
mdp.39015063959442	Then what was it?
mdp.39015063959442	There was the usual door, I suppose, occupying prac- tically the whole of the front of the case?
mdp.39015063959442	There were no matches or anything like that?
mdp.39015063959442	There's no chance of his getting away with it, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063959442	This man did n't see you?
mdp.39015063959442	Tom?
mdp.39015063959442	Was Lavis mixed up in this?
mdp.39015063959442	Was it down by the riverside that you first happened to meet Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	Was there anything inflammable about the house besides the drum of paraffin? mdp.39015063959442 Well, Inspector, and do you share the belief that this is the work of a criminal?"
mdp.39015063959442	Well, Tom, what is it?
mdp.39015063959442	Well, and what harm would there be in that? mdp.39015063959442 Well, what if I was?
mdp.39015063959442	What about applying for a search warrant and having a good look round that house at Park Gate? mdp.39015063959442 What are you and Mother going to do then?"
mdp.39015063959442	What did actually happen when he was released?
mdp.39015063959442	What did the man say when you told him that?
mdp.39015063959442	What did you say to Elver when you next met?
mdp.39015063959442	What do they live on meanwhile?
mdp.39015063959442	What do you fill them from?
mdp.39015063959442	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063959442	What do you think, Professor?
mdp.39015063959442	What job has Lavis got now?
mdp.39015063959442	What makes you say that it is impossible that the fire should have been started maliciously?
mdp.39015063959442	What should I be carrying?
mdp.39015063959442	What sort of things is he selling?
mdp.39015063959442	What steps did you take to trace this man Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	What time do you expect your brother home this eve- ning?
mdp.39015063959442	What time was it that he left you on Saturday after- noon?
mdp.39015063959442	What's Lavis doing now?
mdp.39015063959442	What's Sea Joe's right name, to begin with?
mdp.39015063959442	What's it got to do with you whether I cut myself or not?
mdp.39015063959442	What's that?
mdp.39015063959442	What's this, Jimmy?
mdp.39015063959442	What's your business, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063959442	When and where did the ceremony take place?
mdp.39015063959442	When did you last see Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	When did you last see him?
mdp.39015063959442	When did you look inside the bag next?
mdp.39015063959442	When was the central heating furnace last in use?
mdp.39015063959442	Where did you leave your bag while you were in the Chequers?
mdp.39015063959442	Where is he now?
mdp.39015063959442	Who are these folks when they're at home?
mdp.39015063959442	Who did I meet?
mdp.39015063959442	Who did you meet on your way home?
mdp.39015063959442	Who was that?
mdp.39015063959442	Who were the rest of them? mdp.39015063959442 Who's been complaining about me, I'd like to know?"
mdp.39015063959442	Why I never did that, did I?
mdp.39015063959442	Why ca n't you people talk plainly instead of in riddles? mdp.39015063959442 Why did n't he kill somebody and have done with it?
mdp.39015063959442	Why whatever for? mdp.39015063959442 Why, whatever possessed him to go along there at that time of night, I wonder?"
mdp.39015063959442	Why, whatever would we do sitting all alone by ourselves? mdp.39015063959442 Why, which way would he go but straight along the road until he got to Park Gate?"
mdp.39015063959442	Women are apt to be in the way sometimes, are n't they? mdp.39015063959442 Would it have made any difference had you ascertained the fact of this marriage at the time?"
mdp.39015063959442	Would one of your friends from the countryside come to call upon you wearing a paper hat?
mdp.39015063959442	Yesterday afternoon you adopted my suggestion that you should investigate the methods of hop drying?
mdp.39015063959442	You are perfectly certain that you did not open the door between six o'clock on Saturday evening and the time of the fire?
mdp.39015063959442	You asked to see me?
mdp.39015063959442	You chose the first alternative and said nothing, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959442	You did n't expect to meet Lavis, of course?
mdp.39015063959442	You did n't happen to look into his pockets, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959442	You did n't hear anything from him at the time of his re- lease two years ago?
mdp.39015063959442	You did n't see Lavis again that evening?
mdp.39015063959442	You do n't have much trouble with them?
mdp.39015063959442	You do n't remember falling off your bicycle, for in- stance?
mdp.39015063959442	You do n't suppose we attach the life history of our sub- jects to these files, do you? mdp.39015063959442 You do n't think I'd have anything to do with a chap that had served time, do you?"
mdp.39015063959442	You do not employ a pyrometer, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959442	You guessed, I suppose, that he had something to do with the drug business?
mdp.39015063959442	You hear what Mr. Velley says about it, Professor?
mdp.39015063959442	You keep the fire going all the time?
mdp.39015063959442	You know Lavis and his sister Mrs. Creach that live over at Park Gate, I daresay? mdp.39015063959442 You know him pretty well, I expect?"
mdp.39015063959442	You know?
mdp.39015063959442	You leave the windows open all day? mdp.39015063959442 You mean he was given the sack?"
mdp.39015063959442	You mean that he somehow managed to slip out of the country, Professor?
mdp.39015063959442	You mean that somebody deliberately set fire to the place?
mdp.39015063959442	You mean that when you find him he'll go to prison again?
mdp.39015063959442	You mean you're fond of the river?
mdp.39015063959442	You met him the next time the ship came in?
mdp.39015063959442	You met this girl casually on the quayside?
mdp.39015063959442	You recognize the photograph?
mdp.39015063959442	You remember me telling you the other night about Sea Joe and the way I arrested him? mdp.39015063959442 You rode straight home?"
mdp.39015063959442	You say that a man called here on Saturday afternoon and asked for your brother?
mdp.39015063959442	You went along, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959442	You went into the lounge this afternoon, of course?
mdp.39015063959442	You were in the house at six o'clock, you say, Mrs. Ad- corn? mdp.39015063959442 You'll be a friend of Sergeant Wragge's then, over at Culverden?
mdp.39015063959442	You're a bit of a wizard in your way, are n't you? mdp.39015063959442 You're perfectly certain that nothing could have been smouldering in here at six o'clock?"
mdp.39015063959442	You're quite sure of that?
mdp.39015063959442	You've got to provide accommodation for them, of course?
mdp.39015063959442	You've heard that there was a burglary close here on Saturday night, I ex- pect?
mdp.39015063959442	You've met Mr. Lavis again since then, have n't you?
mdp.39015063959442	You've met him for your- self, perhaps?
mdp.39015063959442	'Alf,'he said — he always calls me Alf—'do you know anything about a fellow called Lavis who lives at Park Gate?'
mdp.39015063959442	'Do you happen to have an aunt who lives down Lambeth way?'
mdp.39015063959442	'Have either of you chaps seen Lavis about?'
mdp.39015063959442	'So you're alone, are you?
mdp.39015063959442	'Whatever makes you think of him after all this time?
mdp.39015063959442	'You're the captain, are n't you?'
mdp.39015063959442	102 THE HARVEST MURDER"The scullery is the room with the concrete flooring on to which the back door opens, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959442	86 THE HARVEST MURDER"How did you come to take your bag with you when you went to the Chequers?"
mdp.39015063959442	A man can go into a pub and have a drink if he likes, ca n't he?"
mdp.39015063959442	Adcorn?"
mdp.39015063959442	Adcorn?"
mdp.39015063959442	Adcorn?"
mdp.39015063959442	Adcorn?"
mdp.39015063959442	After all, what did he take?
mdp.39015063959442	And above all, how did she dispose of the body?"
mdp.39015063959442	And even if it were possible to imagine any of the Adcorns stooping to arson, what possible motive could they have had?
mdp.39015063959442	And having done so, how did he dispose of the body?"
mdp.39015063959442	And if the murder had taken place elsewhere, how had the knife been conveyed to the spot where it had been found?
mdp.39015063959442	And if this evening, why not the previous Saturday as well?
mdp.39015063959442	And then in a lower tone he added,"Is there anybody you're looking for specially?"
mdp.39015063959442	And then one of the other chaps called out to him,'Hullo, Joe, are you going ashore?'
mdp.39015063959442	And then, automatically aware of Hanslet's eye upon him, he added the traditional formula:"Do you wish to make a statement?
mdp.39015063959442	And whatever do you think it was?"
mdp.39015063959442	And where else could he have gone with that distressingly incriminating evidence in his pocket?
mdp.39015063959442	And why should he have gone along the path which led to Hobbs'Corner?
mdp.39015063959442	Are you quite sure I wo n't be a nuisance?"
mdp.39015063959442	Are you there?
mdp.39015063959442	Besides who could hide a body with the countryside overrun as it is just now?"
mdp.39015063959442	But how are we going to bring it home to him, that's what I want to know?"
mdp.39015063959442	But how did you come to leave that knife behind you?"
mdp.39015063959442	But that's no reason why you should n't walk as far as London Bridge with me, is it?'
mdp.39015063959442	But the oast houses are n't working on Sundays, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959442	But then, again, how could Elver contrive to enter and leave the place unobserved?
mdp.39015063959442	But was he also the incendiary?
mdp.39015063959442	But what about Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	But why did you leave the knife behind?"
mdp.39015063959442	But why should he have used that path?
mdp.39015063959442	But, the Sergeant asked himself, would he venture to do so?
mdp.39015063959442	By the way, Jimmy, have you had any further news of the fellow?"
mdp.39015063959442	By the way, did you hear the chaps this evening say anything about that Paddock Croft affair?"
mdp.39015063959442	Can you spare me a few minutes to tell me your troubles?"
mdp.39015063959442	Could a poor chap be blamed if he climbed in and helped himself?
mdp.39015063959442	Could any of the Adcorn family be implicated?
mdp.39015063959442	Could you tell me what was in the bureau?"
mdp.39015063959442	Creach?"
mdp.39015063959442	Creach?"
mdp.39015063959442	Did the In- spector wish to accompany him?
mdp.39015063959442	Did you notice if he came on his bicycle?"
mdp.39015063959442	Did you think I was never coming?"
mdp.39015063959442	Did you think that anyone could have been hidden in it while you were there?"
mdp.39015063959442	Do you wipe the jolly little hops over with a towel, or some- thing?"
mdp.39015063959442	Had Elver bribed any of the hop pickers to shelter him?
mdp.39015063959442	Had Elver, for any reason, already decided to take shelter among the pickers?
mdp.39015063959442	Had he done so merely in order to afford proof of his inebriety?
mdp.39015063959442	Had he met Lavis before the latter's visit to the Chequers — say some time between six and eight in the eve- ning?
mdp.39015063959442	Had someone suggested the burglary to him, or had he thought of it himself?
mdp.39015063959442	Has everything been destroyed?"
mdp.39015063959442	Have you any idea where the spirit came from?"
mdp.39015063959442	Have you got the London folk to work on the job?"
mdp.39015063959442	Have you got time to listen to Jimmy's story of what he suspects may be a case of arson?"
mdp.39015063959442	Hawkins?"
mdp.39015063959442	How did Elver become ac- quainted with Lavis'whereabouts?"
mdp.39015063959442	How did he come?"
mdp.39015063959442	How do you think me and my poor orphan daughters is going to get a living that way?
mdp.39015063959442	How does that idea appeal to you, Professor?"
mdp.39015063959442	How had he occupied his time between that visit and the burglary?
mdp.39015063959442	How long did it take you the week before?"
mdp.39015063959442	How many glasses of cider did you have at the Chequers?"
mdp.39015063959442	How much oil was there in it when you last filled the lamps?"
mdp.39015063959442	How should he come asking for me when he did n't know I lived here?"
mdp.39015063959442	How then had the fire originated?
mdp.39015063959442	How was the house lighted, by the way?
mdp.39015063959442	How would we get on without some folk coming in for a drink and a few words with us?
mdp.39015063959442	How, when and where did Lavis murder Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	How, when and where did Lavis murder Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	I ca n't bring myself to believe that you're bringing me the freedom of the City in a silver caske""Fine bit of plate, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959442	I ca n't tell you more than what's the truth, can I?"
mdp.39015063959442	I expect that was your custom, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063959442	I never make any secret of that, for what's the good?"
mdp.39015063959442	I should have reason to remember it if I had, should n't I?
mdp.39015063959442	I suppose there's somewhere in Culverden where I can hire a bicycle?"
mdp.39015063959442	I was wondering if you'd lend me yours to get home to Culverden on?"
mdp.39015063959442	I wonder if you'd get one of your chaps to shovel it into sacks?
mdp.39015063959442	I've got to pay the brewers for the beer, have n't I?
mdp.39015063959442	In the meanwhile you will, I suppose, undertake the investigation of the burglary at Paddock Croft?"
mdp.39015063959442	Is n't that a bit risky?"
mdp.39015063959442	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063959442	Is there much damage done?"
mdp.39015063959442	It did n't by any chance occur to you to hide it in Mr. Pershore's bungalow, did it?"
mdp.39015063959442	It seemed almost certain that he must have done so, else why should Lavis have taken the path which led him past the scene of the burglary?
mdp.39015063959442	Just step round to the cel- lar door, will you?
mdp.39015063959442	Lavis?"
mdp.39015063959442	Like to have a look round them?"
mdp.39015063959442	Local folks?"
mdp.39015063959442	Matches, petrol or anything like that?"
mdp.39015063959442	Meanwhile, what was he likely to have done with Mrs. Speight's jewellery?
mdp.39015063959442	Might it not be a better policy to abandon the paths of rectitude for a second time?
mdp.39015063959442	Now the point is, who was it, and what's become of the jewellery?
mdp.39015063959442	Now what had been the true relationship between Elver and La vis?
mdp.39015063959442	On the other hand, why should Lavis have been carrying 76 THE HARVEST MURDER his samples about with him at that time of night?
mdp.39015063959442	On the strength of their previous friendship?
mdp.39015063959442	Or had the knife been intended as a weapon should the burglar be disturbed in his operations?
mdp.39015063959442	Or was it possible that busi- ness of quite another kind had taken Lavis to Hobbs'Corner?
mdp.39015063959442	Perhaps you will be good enough to let me have a look round some other day?"
mdp.39015063959442	Perhaps you will pretend that you do n't know it's a crime to shelter any- body who is wanted by the police?
mdp.39015063959442	Perhaps you'd like me to go and make inquiries, sir?"
mdp.39015063959442	Perhaps you'd like to hear Jimmy tell it in his own words, Professor?"
mdp.39015063959442	Pershore?"
mdp.39015063959442	Pilbeam?"
mdp.39015063959442	Raymond?"
mdp.39015063959442	Raymond?"
mdp.39015063959442	Raymond?"
mdp.39015063959442	Raymond?"
mdp.39015063959442	Saw to it that he wanted for nothing while he was there, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063959442	Should he remain and watch the hops being drawn?
mdp.39015063959442	So Lavis was travelling in butchers'knives just to oblige a THE HARVEST MURDER 75 friend, was he?
mdp.39015063959442	So you watched this ship come through the bridge?"
mdp.39015063959442	Someone broke in and pinched some jewellery, did n't they?"
mdp.39015063959442	Speight?"
mdp.39015063959442	Speight?"
mdp.39015063959442	Speight?"
mdp.39015063959442	Speight?"
mdp.39015063959442	Speight?"
mdp.39015063959442	Stack the pokes in the lodge for the hops to sweat and spoil?
mdp.39015063959442	Surely you can see for yourself what's bound to happen?
mdp.39015063959442	THE HARVEST MURDER 129"Eh, what's this?"
mdp.39015063959442	THE HARVEST MURDER 183"Who told you that?"
mdp.39015063959442	THE HARVEST MURDER 283 was saying,"in the middle of hop picking like this, with the pokes coming in every moment almost?
mdp.39015063959442	THE HARVEST MURDER 49 said,'but are you the steward of the Etrurian?'
mdp.39015063959442	That elusive girl whose existence was vouched for by both Mrs. Hawkins and Lavis, but so strenuously denied by Elver?
mdp.39015063959442	That's clear enough, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959442	That's right, is n't it, Flo?"
mdp.39015063959442	The occupants are away, I understand?
mdp.39015063959442	Then we come to'When?'
mdp.39015063959442	There was a bit of a row going on outside, was n't there?"
mdp.39015063959442	There's no gas or electricity?"
mdp.39015063959442	They provide a possible answer to the question'How?'
mdp.39015063959442	They wanted to know if Jimmy was looking for his long- lost brother, who had disappeared from home, tak- ing the children's money box with him?
mdp.39015063959442	This bungalow and its contents were insured, I suppose, Jimmy?"
mdp.39015063959442	To begin with, what had brought Elver down to Matling?
mdp.39015063959442	Was Lavis altogether a suitable person to be carrying things like that about the country?
mdp.39015063959442	Was he always perfectly honest and above- board in his business dealings with you?"
mdp.39015063959442	Was it possible that, as a return for his kind offices, Elver had consented to set fire to Mr. Pershore's bungalow?
mdp.39015063959442	Was it within the bounds of possibility that she was to be found among the hop pickers?
mdp.39015063959442	Was the bungalow set on fire in order to consume Elver's body?
mdp.39015063959442	Was there nothing better for the police to do than to go round the gardens?
mdp.39015063959442	Was this latest crime yet another evidence of their malevolence?
mdp.39015063959442	Was this the spot where Lavis had fallen off his bicycle?
mdp.39015063959442	Well then, did Lavis do that or did n't he?"
mdp.39015063959442	Well, Tom, how are we getting on this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063959442	Well, there's not much room for hiding Chris in here, is there?"
mdp.39015063959442	Were these two crimes connected, or were they entirely independent of one another?
mdp.39015063959442	What am I to do until they're started again?
mdp.39015063959442	What chance was there, in heaven's name, that he was more likely to be found on this ship than on any other?
mdp.39015063959442	What did Wright's nephew say 66 THE HARVEST MURDER about it?"
mdp.39015063959442	What did you do with the body, Lavis?
mdp.39015063959442	What did you make of him?"
mdp.39015063959442	What do you say, Mother?"
mdp.39015063959442	What is it you want to know?"
mdp.39015063959442	What more could they expect?
mdp.39015063959442	What other reason could have led Elver to Hobbs'Corner?
mdp.39015063959442	What sort of things did he bring over?"
mdp.39015063959442	What was Wright's nephew saying about him tonight, Mother?"
mdp.39015063959442	What was a sanguine com- plexion, anyhow?
mdp.39015063959442	What was it that was stolen?"
mdp.39015063959442	What was standing against that wall?"
mdp.39015063959442	What was the motive?"
mdp.39015063959442	What were they saying about him tonight, I'd like to know?"
mdp.39015063959442	What were you carrying on Saturday night in that bag strapped to your bicycle?"
mdp.39015063959442	What's any man's life or death got to do with my raking out my fires, as the Superintendent wants me to do?"
mdp.39015063959442	What's become of the old lady?'
mdp.39015063959442	What's he got to say to them?
mdp.39015063959442	What's it all about?"
mdp.39015063959442	When and how was the body conveyed to the bungalow?
mdp.39015063959442	Where are you going to sleep tonight, by the way?"
mdp.39015063959442	Where else could I go when the pub was closed?"
mdp.39015063959442	Where had he been at this time?
mdp.39015063959442	Where has he gone to?"
mdp.39015063959442	Where was the body during that period?
mdp.39015063959442	Which thread was he to select?
mdp.39015063959442	Who had provided him with the necessary materials for producing the outbreak?
mdp.39015063959442	Who had told him of its existence?
mdp.39015063959442	Who was looking after the place?"
mdp.39015063959442	Why did you tumble off your bicycle to begin with?
mdp.39015063959442	Why had Elver abandoned the idea of meeting Lavis and committed a burglary instead?
mdp.39015063959442	Why had he never returned to Park Gate in pursuance of his original plan?
mdp.39015063959442	Why on earth should Elver have designs on the bungalow?
mdp.39015063959442	Why should he have mentioned the incident of meeting her on the quayside if it had never occurred?
mdp.39015063959442	Why should he take your word against me?"
mdp.39015063959442	Why should he want to get in touch with me again, or if he did how was he going to set about it?
mdp.39015063959442	Why was Elver confident that he could extract money from Lavis?
mdp.39015063959442	Will you be good enough to ask Mr. Pershore and Mrs. Adcorn to join us?"
mdp.39015063959442	Will you go?"
mdp.39015063959442	Will you tell us again what furniture stood against that wall?"
mdp.39015063959442	Would Lavis keep straight on toward Park Gate, or would he take to the path?
mdp.39015063959442	Would You Like to Know how RED BADGE books are selected?
mdp.39015063959442	Would a man in hiding attempt such an audacious action?
mdp.39015063959442	Would it be convenient to you if we arrived there 130 THE HARVEST MURDER at eleven o'clock?"
mdp.39015063959442	Would it hamper your investigations in any way if I were to pay a visit to the premises tomorrow?"
mdp.39015063959442	Would n't you have been a little bit sorry for him?"
mdp.39015063959442	Would she be likely to afford shelter to the fugitive?
mdp.39015063959442	Would she have done so if she had killed her husband?
mdp.39015063959442	Would you very kindly conduct us over the oast house yourself?"
mdp.39015063959442	Wragge?"
mdp.39015063959442	Wright's nephew did n't drop a hint that he suspected anybody by any chance, did he?"
mdp.39015063959442	You and he did drop into a pub sometimes together, I daresay?"
mdp.39015063959442	You continued to meet Elver until his arrest, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959442	You do n't mind if I potter round here for a bit, do you?"
mdp.39015063959442	You have n't seen Elver since he's been released from jail, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959442	You have n't taken up with him surely?'
mdp.39015063959442	You knew Elver when he was a steward on the Etrurian, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063959442	You knew him at one time, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063959442	You never saw this girl again, you say?"
mdp.39015063959442	You remember the case of that kid of young Bill Gunters?"
mdp.39015063959442	You remember the story of Moses and the bulrushes?
mdp.39015063959442	You used to do business together, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959442	You will be going to see it, I expect, sir?"
mdp.39015063959442	You would n't grudge us a bit of rest at the end of our days, surely?
mdp.39015063959442	You'll have a couple, will you?
mdp.39015063959442	You're a stranger to these parts, if I may make so bold to ask?"
mdp.39015063959442	You're sure I wo n't be a burden?"
mdp.39015063959442	You're sure it's Lavis, the chap I used to deal with when I was on the Etrurian?'
mdp.39015063959442	You're sure that nobody could have got into the house after you left it?"
mdp.39015063959442	You're taking care of the bungalow for him, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063959442	You've got an electric torch, I expect, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063959442	You've heard about that affair up at Paddock Croft, I expect?"
mdp.39015063959442	f 131 THE HARVEST MURDER 133"You regulated it in the ordinary way, by screwing the bob of the pendulum up or down?"
mdp.39015063942802	A benevolent or a watchful eye?
mdp.39015063942802	A body? mdp.39015063942802 A letter has been lost?
mdp.39015063942802	Accident?
mdp.39015063942802	After his accomplices, eh? mdp.39015063942802 Against his will?"
mdp.39015063942802	An accident?
mdp.39015063942802	And Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	And Sir Edward Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	And about Sanz,she said, after a pause, in a low voice;"what is going to be done with him?"
mdp.39015063942802	And dated?
mdp.39015063942802	And did Adrian Hobbs intentionally shut me in that strong room?
mdp.39015063942802	And how's Arnold?
mdp.39015063942802	And if I do — can I help myself?
mdp.39015063942802	And now — how did you come to go to Bruges, Miss Haslar? mdp.39015063942802 And now, Chief Inspector, what are you going to do about me?
mdp.39015063942802	And now, Mr. Hobbs, one question,Pointer went on coolly,"where were you last night from, say, ten onwards?"
mdp.39015063942802	And only now that he has murdered Mr. Clif- ford and tried to murder your brother, you think the time has come to speak out?
mdp.39015063942802	And that confession?
mdp.39015063942802	And the alteration on the cheque?
mdp.39015063942802	And the car?
mdp.39015063942802	And the paper?
mdp.39015063942802	And the second letter, also in Mr. Clifford's writing, the letter which Mrs. Clifford received Wednesday morning at breakfast? mdp.39015063942802 And this brother, was he by way of worshipping Mr. Julian Clifford too?"
mdp.39015063942802	And was it really her intention to — or was that about the window and the canal only to frighten her?
mdp.39015063942802	And was it usual with Mr. Clifford to leave her like that — with only a written note for good- bye?' mdp.39015063942802 And what about that cheque?"
mdp.39015063942802	And what did Mr. Haslar say?
mdp.39015063942802	And what does Mrs. Clifford say to the hauntings? mdp.39015063942802 And what took you to Mr. Haslar's house?"
mdp.39015063942802	And when you're in trouble, you do n't suppose blows would drive me from you, do you? mdp.39015063942802 And you think this same Cory —?"
mdp.39015063942802	And you, Mr. Straight, have you by any chance ever heard Mr. Haslar speak as though there were any especial person with whom he is on bad terms?
mdp.39015063942802	And you? mdp.39015063942802 Any one in the house who knows more than you and Wilkins do?"
mdp.39015063942802	Any place? mdp.39015063942802 Anything going on in Bruges to draw such a man as Julian Clifford there, and have him want his presence kept secret?"
mdp.39015063942802	Apart altogether from his own work, did Mr. Clifford have any papers or letters in his possession which Mr. Has- lar wanted, or may have wanted?
mdp.39015063942802	Are n't you forgetting me?
mdp.39015063942802	Are we wrong about those destroyed pages in my brother's manuscript: the pages pointing straight to Etcheverrey — to Newman?
mdp.39015063942802	Are you ill, Miss Diana? mdp.39015063942802 Are you quite sure these tablets are imprints of Julian Clifford's hands?"
mdp.39015063942802	Baronesse van Bracht? mdp.39015063942802 Because of you?"
mdp.39015063942802	But did you meet any friends at your cottage, Sir Ed- ward?
mdp.39015063942802	But how did Mr. Newman know who the dead man was?
mdp.39015063942802	But not the house?
mdp.39015063942802	But surely he gave you a message, or a letter when he left? mdp.39015063942802 But why in the world should Arnold have given a false name when looking over the flat?
mdp.39015063942802	But you here?
mdp.39015063942802	But you wo n't agree to marry — any one — now?
mdp.39015063942802	But you yourself had no idea of any such intention on Mr. Clifford's part?
mdp.39015063942802	But—an idea seemed to strike him—"would you ask Mrs. Clifford to spare me a few minutes?
mdp.39015063942802	By Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Clifford's literary agent?
mdp.39015063942802	Ca n't you manage to love me, Diana?
mdp.39015063942802	Can I see his room?
mdp.39015063942802	Can you cure yourself of cancer by wanting to be cured? mdp.39015063942802 Can you get a message through to Mr. Clifford, Sir Ed- ward?"
mdp.39015063942802	Can you remember any one else who ever questioned you about him?
mdp.39015063942802	Certain? mdp.39015063942802 Could n't you ascertain by means of them where Mr. Clifford really is?"
mdp.39015063942802	Could you give us an idea of its contents?
mdp.39015063942802	Delayed?
mdp.39015063942802	Diana Haslar? mdp.39015063942802 Dick, do you think it could have been Newman whom 88 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR you mistook for my brother this morning, coming out o Heath Mansions?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did Hobbs pay it over? mdp.39015063942802 Did Mr. Clifford have an ap- pointment?
mdp.39015063942802	Did he call you Day?
mdp.39015063942802	Did he know about the letters — I mean about their ex- istence?
mdp.39015063942802	Did he recognise it quickly?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you ever hear your brother speak of a man of the name of Cory?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you ever tell Mr. Clifford about your belief that Mr. Newman was Sanz Etcheverrey the Basque anarchist?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you hear or see anything of Mr. Clifford before you went to bed?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you keep it for any especial reason?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you read the description of the ulster the man was wearing? mdp.39015063942802 Did you recognise whoever was with her?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did you see any one coming or going to the house?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you shoot many?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you think he was in Bruges buying the Charlemagne crystal?
mdp.39015063942802	Did you think the servant who let you out looked as though he had just come in from outside?
mdp.39015063942802	Do n't you?
mdp.39015063942802	Do you know what he did in the evening, or over the week end?
mdp.39015063942802	Do you know which gun, and what number cartridges?
mdp.39015063942802	Do you mind seeing if Mrs. Clifford's in the garden?
mdp.39015063942802	Do you mind telling me what happened?
mdp.39015063942802	Do you remember his hands, when he signed those papers,Pointer went on,"were they large hands?"
mdp.39015063942802	Do you think Etcheverrey's the killer, or the killed here, sir?
mdp.39015063942802	Do you think Mr. Clifford knew of it?
mdp.39015063942802	Does this mean that we're standing in the room of the man who murdered my brother and mutilated his body so horribly? mdp.39015063942802 Especially after she had inserted that personal in the Times of yesterday, Tuesday?
mdp.39015063942802	Etche — What was it?
mdp.39015063942802	Ever heard of The Knight's Dream?
mdp.39015063942802	Ever heard the name of Haslar mentioned in connection with it?
mdp.39015063942802	Family respected? mdp.39015063942802 Farce?
mdp.39015063942802	Ferryman, take me across? mdp.39015063942802 For how much?"
mdp.39015063942802	Gables built like steps running up into heaven?
mdp.39015063942802	Had n't we better talk in here?
mdp.39015063942802	Hampstead?
mdp.39015063942802	Has Miss Haslar left the room at all?
mdp.39015063942802	Has the body been touched by any one, as far as you know?
mdp.39015063942802	Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	Have you had any unusual visitors at Thornbush lately?
mdp.39015063942802	Have you photographed it?
mdp.39015063942802	Have you told Mr. Straight as much? mdp.39015063942802 He recognised the body quite definitely?"
mdp.39015063942802	He's French, is n't he?
mdp.39015063942802	He's not dead?
mdp.39015063942802	Here I am, Cory, where shall we go?
mdp.39015063942802	His attempt on the Shah of Persia?
mdp.39015063942802	His carbon sheet, rather? mdp.39015063942802 His conversation with Mr. Straight — the tone of it — was very unusual on Mr. Clifford's part?"
mdp.39015063942802	Hobbs is under arrest? mdp.39015063942802 How about some one having shot him who has a grudge against him?
mdp.39015063942802	How about the grill- room of the Savoy?
mdp.39015063942802	How about you, Miss Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	How did Miss Haslar come to be locked into the safe, and who in the world put the head there?
mdp.39015063942802	How did that tin come to be in this house at all?
mdp.39015063942802	How did this Mr. Tourcoin learn of the flat?
mdp.39015063942802	How did you hear of what had happened?
mdp.39015063942802	How did you manage it? mdp.39015063942802 How do these two men and Mrs. Clifford get on?
mdp.39015063942802	How do you mean that you betrayed me?
mdp.39015063942802	How do you think you're going to like your work at Thornbush?
mdp.39015063942802	How much is the crystal worth?
mdp.39015063942802	How on earth — where — whose?
mdp.39015063942802	How would any one set about purchasing the crystal?
mdp.39015063942802	How wrong could they go?
mdp.39015063942802	I believe the relations between Mr. Clifford and Mr. Has- lar have been a little strained of late?
mdp.39015063942802	I borrowed some of your plaster last night,he said pleasantly,"how much do I owe you for what I used?"
mdp.39015063942802	I do n't know what you mean?
mdp.39015063942802	I suppose Newman will be followed if he really has tried, as this room suggests that he has, to escape?
mdp.39015063942802	I suppose you're aware that this is not an automatic ex- change?
mdp.39015063942802	I wonder if Julian suspected the truth, or what we be- lieve to have been the truth, at the end?
mdp.39015063942802	I wonder,Pointer said suddenly,"if you would allow a chartered accountant to go through Mr. Clifford's accounts, Sir Edward?"
mdp.39015063942802	I — how could it be connected with mat terrible mystery?
mdp.39015063942802	In spite of — everything?
mdp.39015063942802	In what way queer?
mdp.39015063942802	In what way'odd'?
mdp.39015063942802	Is Mr. Arnold Haslar an electrical engineer in a big way, the head of the Wellwyn Company of Melbourne, a relative of hers?
mdp.39015063942802	Is n't there a way of tell- ing the right word by listening to the fall of the tumblers?
mdp.39015063942802	Is she attached to her uncle? mdp.39015063942802 Is she mad?"
mdp.39015063942802	Is that Miss Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	Is that all you can tell me about him?
mdp.39015063942802	Is that you, Chief Inspector Pointer? mdp.39015063942802 Is that your taxi?
mdp.39015063942802	It was Mr. Clifford I understand who wished Hobbs to leave him?
mdp.39015063942802	It's in strictest confidence, of course?
mdp.39015063942802	Know the password?
mdp.39015063942802	Know what, Sir Edward?
mdp.39015063942802	Left a man in the house, I hope?
mdp.39015063942802	Mademoiselle van Bracht?
mdp.39015063942802	Man called Strachey?
mdp.39015063942802	May I copy out the gist of the will?
mdp.39015063942802	May I see it? mdp.39015063942802 May I see the letter left for you this morning?"
mdp.39015063942802	Medical man?
mdp.39015063942802	Miss Haslar? mdp.39015063942802 Miss Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	More friendly than usual?
mdp.39015063942802	Motive? mdp.39015063942802 Mr. Gaskell, I believe?"
mdp.39015063942802	Mr. Hobbs,Pointer asked again, instead of replying,"where did you think that Julian Clifford was?
mdp.39015063942802	Mr. Julian Clifford collects, does n't he?
mdp.39015063942802	Mr. Newman, is n't it?
mdp.39015063942802	Mr. Straight is a great friend of yours and your brother's, I believe?
mdp.39015063942802	Murder? mdp.39015063942802 Newman?
mdp.39015063942802	No hope of his speaking?
mdp.39015063942802	No references asked for?
mdp.39015063942802	No, but can I be of any use? mdp.39015063942802 Now Chief Inspector, how did you learn about the Charlemagne crystal and Bruges?"
mdp.39015063942802	Now do you get me? mdp.39015063942802 Now do you under- stand?"
mdp.39015063942802	Or did you just suspect it?
mdp.39015063942802	Or is n't that a fair question?
mdp.39015063942802	Quoif She says?
mdp.39015063942802	Shall I tell you first what I know, sir?
mdp.39015063942802	She expressed no surprise at her letter?
mdp.39015063942802	Singed hair?
mdp.39015063942802	Still no address?
mdp.39015063942802	Supplanted? mdp.39015063942802 TTIs cottage"—Marbujy seemed perplexed—"are you'When did he leave town?"
mdp.39015063942802	That Mr. Julian Clifford was alive after all?
mdp.39015063942802	That so?
mdp.39015063942802	That's what you meant by Padre Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	The Charlemagne Crystal?
mdp.39015063942802	The V within the outline of a house? mdp.39015063942802 The agent's name?"
mdp.39015063942802	The man who was killed?
mdp.39015063942802	The new librarian, Straight, was the accountant, I sup- pose? mdp.39015063942802 Then if you're not Etcheverrey, why did you kill Uncle 268 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR Julian?
mdp.39015063942802	Then it was n't my brother whom Mr. Straight had seen near Heath Mansions?
mdp.39015063942802	Then you do n't believe in Mr. Newman's confession?
mdp.39015063942802	There was no ill- will between Mr. Clifford and Mr. Hobbs, you think?
mdp.39015063942802	There's a strong- room built into one end of this study,Pointer said finally,"would you open it for us?
mdp.39015063942802	There's been no struggle?
mdp.39015063942802	Think yourself clever because you're got up like an organ- grinder? mdp.39015063942802 This mes- sage from him for me: Maud, does n't it ever strike you that Alison always gets the messages from the other world that she wants to get?
mdp.39015063942802	Thornbush is n't?
mdp.39015063942802	Those papers found in the basket—he spoke thought- fully—"are they in Etcheverrey's writing?"
mdp.39015063942802	Uncle Edward, where is Uncle Julian? mdp.39015063942802 Very fond of gossip, is n't she?"
mdp.39015063942802	Warn me?
mdp.39015063942802	Was I indeed?
mdp.39015063942802	Was Newman's the hand that actually fired the shot at Haslar? mdp.39015063942802 Was he a man of high morality, would you say?"
mdp.39015063942802	Was he smoking?
mdp.39015063942802	We both know a ring like that, but has Arnold such an ulster by any chance?
mdp.39015063942802	Well, what d'ye want?
mdp.39015063942802	Well?
mdp.39015063942802	Well?
mdp.39015063942802	Well?
mdp.39015063942802	Well?
mdp.39015063942802	Were the Cliffords attached to each other?
mdp.39015063942802	Were the two brothers on friendly terms?
mdp.39015063942802	Were you pleased?
mdp.39015063942802	Westminster 1876? mdp.39015063942802 What Straight?
mdp.39015063942802	What about Sir Edward Clifford, Mr. Julian Clifford's brother? mdp.39015063942802 What about his time off?
mdp.39015063942802	What about the name? mdp.39015063942802 What are you going to do with me?"
mdp.39015063942802	What body in where?
mdp.39015063942802	What clothes was the man wearing?
mdp.39015063942802	What d'ye mean?
mdp.39015063942802	What do you know of your uncle's secretary that makes you link him with this Etcheverrey murder?
mdp.39015063942802	What do you suppose I'm in? mdp.39015063942802 What does Edward Clifford say?"
mdp.39015063942802	What does it mean? mdp.39015063942802 What in the world?"
mdp.39015063942802	What is Mr. Gifford doing? mdp.39015063942802 What is wrong?"
mdp.39015063942802	What made you'phone to us — made you think the crime political?
mdp.39015063942802	What sort of houses would they be on?
mdp.39015063942802	What sort of man is this Arnold Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	What time exactly did you see him?
mdp.39015063942802	What was in it?
mdp.39015063942802	What was it the doctor said? mdp.39015063942802 What would you have done if she'd never seen Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	What's this about Haslar's strong room and Miss Has- lar?
mdp.39015063942802	What's up now?
mdp.39015063942802	What's wrong?
mdp.39015063942802	When did he leave?
mdp.39015063942802	When do you expect him back?
mdp.39015063942802	When was it advertised?
mdp.39015063942802	When you first read in the papers of the murder of Etcheverrey, what did you think?
mdp.39015063942802	When you spoke to Mr. Clifford of Etcheverrey, was any other person present?
mdp.39015063942802	Where is he?
mdp.39015063942802	Where's his head?
mdp.39015063942802	Where, then?
mdp.39015063942802	Which clue? mdp.39015063942802 Who beside Mr. Clifford referred to Etcheverrey at Thornbush?"
mdp.39015063942802	Who does love, really? mdp.39015063942802 Who sent for you?"
mdp.39015063942802	Who shot him?
mdp.39015063942802	Who the devil's'me'?
mdp.39015063942802	Who was the Man who took the Flat?
mdp.39015063942802	Who was there then?.
mdp.39015063942802	Who's he?
mdp.39015063942802	Who's that? mdp.39015063942802 Why am I being detained here?
mdp.39015063942802	Why did n't you tell us this before,Straight asked stiffly,"when first you heard that Etcheverrey was supposed to have been murdered?"
mdp.39015063942802	Why did you connect him with this dead anarchist?
mdp.39015063942802	Why do n't you get into touch with Sir Edward Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	Why not?
mdp.39015063942802	Why should he do that?
mdp.39015063942802	Why, I had only met Mr. Clifford an hour or so before — what earthly motive would I have had for killing him?
mdp.39015063942802	Why, Miss Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	Why?
mdp.39015063942802	Widow? mdp.39015063942802 With Arnold?
mdp.39015063942802	Would Julian Clifford be likely to hear of these things on offer at Bruges?
mdp.39015063942802	Would you?
mdp.39015063942802	Yes,he murmured to himself,"I've put the head in a biscuit tin, mixed and poured in plaster to keep it from roll- ing around, and now what?"
mdp.39015063942802	Yet do n't you think she'd fret if she lost her memory?
mdp.39015063942802	You agree that they're the same as these?
mdp.39015063942802	You ca n't remember any words of his reply?
mdp.39015063942802	You could n't be sure?
mdp.39015063942802	You could not then have thought that it was Mr. Newman who had taken the flat, since you say that Mr. Newman is Etche- verrey?
mdp.39015063942802	You did n't hear any sounds at all just before she went down?
mdp.39015063942802	You did n't see Mr. Clifford yesterday after dinner?
mdp.39015063942802	You do n't think you can get away with this sort of stuff with me, do you?
mdp.39015063942802	You had no idea that your brother and this Mr. Newman were concocting any scheme together in which your uncle, Mr. Clifford, figured?
mdp.39015063942802	You have no idea who fired that shot at Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	You here, Edward? mdp.39015063942802 You know her?"
mdp.39015063942802	You know of none? mdp.39015063942802 You know the code word?"
mdp.39015063942802	You know the retort his grandpa made when Lord Boodle wrote an article during the last election hinting at his family's past? mdp.39015063942802 You know what that signature stands for?"
mdp.39015063942802	You mean that Arnold shot himself?
mdp.39015063942802	You mean that I think that because I love him?
mdp.39015063942802	You mean the musical comedy that's been running for a couple of years?
mdp.39015063942802	You mean this afternoon? mdp.39015063942802 You mean to say it's true?
mdp.39015063942802	You mean —?
mdp.39015063942802	You probably can tell me who was Mr. Haslar's enemy?
mdp.39015063942802	You saw Cory leaving?
mdp.39015063942802	You say Mr. Clifford's away from home?
mdp.39015063942802	You think I had better open it?
mdp.39015063942802	You think Mrs. Clifford had no doubts throughout as to the genuineness of the two she got?
mdp.39015063942802	You think it would appeal to him?
mdp.39015063942802	You think this is Mr. Clifford's writing?
mdp.39015063942802	You think whoever saw you was inside the flat, not out- side?
mdp.39015063942802	You think?
mdp.39015063942802	You waited in for Miss Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	You were in that Hoi ford Case, were n't you, Inspector?
mdp.39015063942802	You wo n't tell me what the secret is between you and him, then?
mdp.39015063942802	You're absolutely certain it's Julian?
mdp.39015063942802	You're keeping an eye on Cory, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942802	Young man?
mdp.39015063942802	'*"Did you ever speak of Etcheverrey's diagram- signature, or of the name of his refuge in the Pyrenees?"
mdp.39015063942802	'What did the ancients do when the oracle would n't oracle?'
mdp.39015063942802	*"Is that Chief Inspector Pointer?
mdp.39015063942802	,"How did Sir Edward take the sight of the body in the mortuary?
mdp.39015063942802	14 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR"What kind of tobacco?
mdp.39015063942802	174 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR course, as distinct from Mr. Newman, his secretary?"
mdp.39015063942802	196 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR"What was it, what could it have been that my brother was going to write which caused his death?"
mdp.39015063942802	72 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR sage?"
mdp.39015063942802	98 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR"Nor Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	A man of the name of Cory, for instance?"
mdp.39015063942802	Always up- to- date, invariably correct in 38 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR"What's he like to look at?"
mdp.39015063942802	Am I right?
mdp.39015063942802	Anarchist?
mdp.39015063942802	And above all, who the murderer had been?
mdp.39015063942802	And if Mr. Haslar, then why not o'hers?
mdp.39015063942802	And then Hobbs said in a thick, low voice, hoarse with passion: —"What's Mrs. Orr to do with this?
mdp.39015063942802	And what about those three- quarter fittings?
mdp.39015063942802	And when Mr. Clifford returns, will 48 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR you ask him to have a message sent me?
mdp.39015063942802	And your second question, Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942802	Any kind you knew?"
mdp.39015063942802	Are you the Commissioner?"
mdp.39015063942802	As they settled themselves, Pointer asked:"I suppose that Mr. Straight is at work on Mr. Clifford's accounts?"
mdp.39015063942802	Before your time, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063942802	Besides, why are you here?
mdp.39015063942802	Bradly said politely, touching him on the arm,"Mr. Gaskell from Leeds?"
mdp.39015063942802	Bruges?
mdp.39015063942802	But Newman?
mdp.39015063942802	But about Haslar — are we to take Haslar's ravings as merely empty words?
mdp.39015063942802	But as to whether the dead man had writ- ten it"Did you see Miss Haslar's note?"
mdp.39015063942802	But by whom?"
mdp.39015063942802	But could he help it?
mdp.39015063942802	But had Newman really es- caped?
mdp.39015063942802	But here?
mdp.39015063942802	But how could the Chief Inspector get on the track of those gables?
mdp.39015063942802	But how did you account for the name to Mrs. Clifford, I mean?"
mdp.39015063942802	But how did you learn of it?"
mdp.39015063942802	But how long would it take for things to change?
mdp.39015063942802	But how on earth can any one tell what paper, or what letter it is, which Haslar wants to get away, or get back, from Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	But how?
mdp.39015063942802	But supposing he were not, how the dickens was he, Pointer, to find out who the man had been?
mdp.39015063942802	But surely Miss Haslar can be got out all right?"
mdp.39015063942802	But then, what about Etche- verrey himself?"
mdp.39015063942802	But was it Etcheverrey?
mdp.39015063942802	But was the face at which the detective officer had just glanced, so apparently casually, the face of one with no memory reaching back beyond 1918?
mdp.39015063942802	But what other idea did he hold himself?
mdp.39015063942802	But what's his fate to be?
mdp.39015063942802	But where would Haslar come in?"
mdp.39015063942802	But why should Etcheverrey kill Julian Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	But why should any one wait itil the last night when the flat would be free unless he uldn't help himself?
mdp.39015063942802	But you were saying?"
mdp.39015063942802	But — if Newman is guilty, what are we to think of Haslar's cry?"
mdp.39015063942802	By what, or by whom, was the uneasiness caused?
mdp.39015063942802	Ca n't you suggest anything?"
mdp.39015063942802	Can I have a word with you in the next room?
mdp.39015063942802	Can I see him a moment?
mdp.39015063942802	Can a gas man come into the room for a moment?
mdp.39015063942802	Can you drive me to the Beguinage?"
mdp.39015063942802	Choice or necessity?
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford asked,"On what grounds?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Clifford?"
mdp.39015063942802	Could Mr. Ward come to his room at once?
mdp.39015063942802	Could Ostend be the real objective?
mdp.39015063942802	Could he slip up and get that ulster?
mdp.39015063942802	Could the collector of musical instruments see Mr. Pollock?
mdp.39015063942802	Could you come at once to Mr. Haslar's?
mdp.39015063942802	Dared Pointer let him think himself safe?
mdp.39015063942802	Dick did not answer for a moment, then he said: —"Why should it be Newman, Di?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did I frighten him away?
mdp.39015063942802	Did I take its lid too?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did Julian Clifford collect?
mdp.39015063942802	Did Mr. Clifford ever say anything to you, Sir Edward, on which you base your idea of his being particularly interested in Etcheverrey?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did he guess something?
mdp.39015063942802	Did he identify.it?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did he seem to have anything on his mind?"
mdp.39015063942802	Did you happen to see this man at Mr. Haslar's last night?"
mdp.39015063942802	Do n't know it?
mdp.39015063942802	Do n't you suppose I've told myself all the facts over and over again?
mdp.39015063942802	Do n't you think so, Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942802	Do you know of anything?"
mdp.39015063942802	Do you know where I can reach him over the telephone at once?"
mdp.39015063942802	Edward Clifford frowned,"what was Haslar's role?"
mdp.39015063942802	Eh, Pointer?
mdp.39015063942802	Equally clear are those there taken of?
mdp.39015063942802	Expected to put Etcheverrey himself in a book?"
mdp.39015063942802	Get me?"
mdp.39015063942802	Get me?"
mdp.39015063942802	Go and see what you think of it, will you?
mdp.39015063942802	Had Major Cory, after he had given his trailer the slip, made his way to Haslar's house?
mdp.39015063942802	Had he learnt something?
mdp.39015063942802	Had he lost it, or had he not?"
mdp.39015063942802	Hard lines, eh?
mdp.39015063942802	Has he been — killed?"
mdp.39015063942802	Has he — has he given up his life for mine?"
mdp.39015063942802	Has n't she tried to lay the spirit?"
mdp.39015063942802	Haslar?"
mdp.39015063942802	Have you no idea where he might be expected to be, supposing he had really gone away of his own free will yesterday morning?"
mdp.39015063942802	He could tell people that he had been fast asleep from about ten till he was roused next morn- ing, but would they believe it?
mdp.39015063942802	Hears the things she wants to hear?"
mdp.39015063942802	Her objections to helping him find the criminal, were they solely as she represented them?
mdp.39015063942802	How about the C.I.D.?"
mdp.39015063942802	How could he, Pointer, locate the place where Clifford was supposed to be, if he were honestly supposed to be alive?
mdp.39015063942802	How did I see?"
mdp.39015063942802	How did it get to Bruges?
mdp.39015063942802	How did she take thellloney?"
mdp.39015063942802	How do you know when it's real, when it's not?
mdp.39015063942802	How do you know — if it has no head — how do you know it's Julian?"
mdp.39015063942802	How does it come?
mdp.39015063942802	How much chance will you have in the dock against that story, Mr. Hobbs?
mdp.39015063942802	I did quite right, I hope?
mdp.39015063942802	I do n't think it's merely the identifi- cation"—her eyes widened—"has something — something criminal — happened to Mr. Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	I suppose it is a coincidence?"
mdp.39015063942802	I suppose it really was Julian?
mdp.39015063942802	I was going to say something like'Is there anything I can do?'
mdp.39015063942802	If his head is off, I repeat how can you be sure it's Julian's body?"
mdp.39015063942802	In his own home, I mean?"
mdp.39015063942802	In whose life?
mdp.39015063942802	Is he lightheaded?"
mdp.39015063942802	Is he the link between Julian Clifford and the Basque?
mdp.39015063942802	Is he the man who killed Etcheverrey?
mdp.39015063942802	Is he, in fact, Mirza Khan, who speaks French — and English too for that matter — like a Frenchman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Is it a genuine confession, do you think?"
mdp.39015063942802	Is it possible that you think'local colour'should be spelled Mazod Orr?"
mdp.39015063942802	Is she posing, or is she quite sincere?"
mdp.39015063942802	Jansen?"
mdp.39015063942802	Julian Clif- ford had come upon the other half of the story which had 288 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR Etcheverrey, to you pointed to Straight?
mdp.39015063942802	Julian Clifford's literary agent was standing with his legs THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 14?
mdp.39015063942802	Looked as if he had come in —?"
mdp.39015063942802	Might they search the garden?
mdp.39015063942802	Miss anything else?"
mdp.39015063942802	Mr. 66 THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR Trimble here he says that Mr. Clifford goes to find out more to write about, but is that likely?"
mdp.39015063942802	Mr. Clifford is hardly likely to have torn up so many pages?"
mdp.39015063942802	Mrs. Orr and Julian Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	Mrs. Orr?
mdp.39015063942802	Newman now called,"Oh, is it locked?"
mdp.39015063942802	Newman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Newman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Newman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Newman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Newman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Newman?"
mdp.39015063942802	Not much of a clue there, is there?
mdp.39015063942802	Not yet?
mdp.39015063942802	Now is Tourcoin the man to whom the summon- ing letters were sent?
mdp.39015063942802	Now those sentences looked rather damning, but was n't the secret that Mr. Clifford thought he had discovered your love for Miss Haslar?"
mdp.39015063942802	Now what do you want to know?
mdp.39015063942802	Now, Chief Inspector, where do we stand?
mdp.39015063942802	Now, as to the cheque?
mdp.39015063942802	Of the ring?"
mdp.39015063942802	Open or secret?
mdp.39015063942802	Or are you leaving him to me?"
mdp.39015063942802	Or had"Tourcoin"noticed them, and laid his plan accordingly?
mdp.39015063942802	Or have they a substratum of fact?"
mdp.39015063942802	Or is it a patent process?"
mdp.39015063942802	Or is it that frock?
mdp.39015063942802	Or was it from Mortlake?
mdp.39015063942802	Or was there something just a shade sinister to it when he smiled?
mdp.39015063942802	Orr?"
mdp.39015063942802	Orr?"
mdp.39015063942802	Orr?"
mdp.39015063942802	Orr?"
mdp.39015063942802	Pointer heard the receiver slammed down at the other end, and continued,"You'll be at the works, I suppose, sir?
mdp.39015063942802	Pointer looked about him 18* THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR"And the death occurred, at a rough guess?"
mdp.39015063942802	Rivers of Saville Row?"
mdp.39015063942802	Sceur Therese?"
mdp.39015063942802	Sir Edward was with you, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942802	So Arnold being out of court, suppose you face the fact that you're driven to turn to me?"
mdp.39015063942802	So what would you?
mdp.39015063942802	So you know?"
mdp.39015063942802	Solicitor?
mdp.39015063942802	Straight asked;"was it anything serious?"
mdp.39015063942802	Surely you do n't think that of her?"
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 107"A connection?
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 113"You did n't hear anything?"
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 157"Was Mr. Clifford in the habit of talking over what he was writing?
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 191"When was it offered to you?"
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 193"But have they nothing to do with his head having been cut off?"
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 231 home on Monday night?
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 289"on Straight's trail in the beginning?"
mdp.39015063942802	THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 85"You saw about the murder in Heath Mansions?"
mdp.39015063942802	That she's been locked in there?"
mdp.39015063942802	The house- agent had identified the"What the devil are you doing with my clothes?"
mdp.39015063942802	The in- quiry was about Marshall's furnished flat, of course?
mdp.39015063942802	The man had seen no one enter, or leave, Arnold Haslar'?.
mdp.39015063942802	The name of Tourcoin?"
mdp.39015063942802	The one I brought?"
mdp.39015063942802	The thing ca n't be done secretly, of course, since the accounts are under Mr. Hobbs, I be- lieve?"
mdp.39015063942802	The van der Brachts, I mean?"
mdp.39015063942802	Then she asked: —"Why should he be?
mdp.39015063942802	Then what did I see?
mdp.39015063942802	Then why not Julian?
mdp.39015063942802	Then why not telephone to the gendarmerie at once?
mdp.39015063942802	This gentleman is —?"
mdp.39015063942802	Though I do n't say that if Vagneau mystique from Ghent""Could you tell me in detail what was offered from, or by, Bruges?"
mdp.39015063942802	To the mortuary chapel, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942802	Understand?"
mdp.39015063942802	Unless that was his first opportunity?
mdp.39015063942802	Was any large sum paid out very recently by Mr. Clifford?
mdp.39015063942802	Was he a good shot?"
mdp.39015063942802	Was it for herself?
mdp.39015063942802	Was it in some accident?"
mdp.39015063942802	Was it inimical or merely intentionally blank?
mdp.39015063942802	Was it predatory or merely self- assertive?
mdp.39015063942802	Was it"political"at all?
mdp.39015063942802	Was she alone?"
mdp.39015063942802	Was the faint smile that curved her pale mouth mischievous or malicious?
mdp.39015063942802	Was the large mouth frank?
mdp.39015063942802	Were these three once more linked closely, fo^all time, by a new crime, by the most terrible of all crimes?
mdp.39015063942802	Were they frank or merely bold?
mdp.39015063942802	Were they his instruc- tions?"
mdp.39015063942802	What can you make out on the carbon sheet, Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942802	What could be supposed to be taking Julian Clif- ford to that town?
mdp.39015063942802	What did it mean?
mdp.39015063942802	What did this scene mean?
mdp.39015063942802	What do you say, Chief In- spector?"
mdp.39015063942802	What do you say, Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942802	What frightened you in that paper?"
mdp.39015063942802	What have you been saying to frighten Diana?
mdp.39015063942802	What illegal action then could Clif- ford have been, or have been supposed to be, engaged in at Bruges?
mdp.39015063942802	What is his reputation among his own set?"
mdp.39015063942802	What is it?
mdp.39015063942802	What murder?"
mdp.39015063942802	What number shall I tell'i m to ring up?"
mdp.39015063942802	What package is it you miss, sister?
mdp.39015063942802	What possible connection THE CLIFFORD AFFAIR 83 is there between him and a Basque communist?"
mdp.39015063942802	What purpose could such a man serve?
mdp.39015063942802	What size is it?
mdp.39015063942802	What things had they done?
mdp.39015063942802	What took Clifford into that most dangerous man's inner circle?
mdp.39015063942802	What was its meaning?
mdp.39015063942802	What was the best course now?
mdp.39015063942802	What was the reason for that bullet which had all but killed Arnold Haslar?
mdp.39015063942802	What was there in it which had made Haslar pick out Major Cory?
mdp.39015063942802	What would the woman's reply be?
mdp.39015063942802	What's that, Wilkins?
mdp.39015063942802	What's that?"
mdp.39015063942802	What's this next?
mdp.39015063942802	What's wrong?"
mdp.39015063942802	When I got down about eleven I found a letter for me from Julian""You kept that letter?"
mdp.39015063942802	When do you think this — accident — happened to my husband?
mdp.39015063942802	When had he left?
mdp.39015063942802	Where exactly is it?"
mdp.39015063942802	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063942802	Where was it in this case?
mdp.39015063942802	Where was this place where the builder was still a craftsman?
mdp.39015063942802	Where were such gables?
mdp.39015063942802	Where's the last Arcturus?"
mdp.39015063942802	Where?"
mdp.39015063942802	Who would n't, when they found that damned tin resurrected, and staring at them from a hall table?
mdp.39015063942802	Who would open Mr. Clifford's proofs?

mdp.39015063942802	Why am I not allowed to communicate with my solicitor?"

mdp.39015063942802	Why not my husband?"

mdp.39015063942802	Why?"
mdp.39015063942802	Will you show me where they are?"
mdp.39015063942802	With what had those two deep gashes been made?
mdp.39015063942802	Wo n't you come into my sitting- room?"
mdp.39015063942802	Would I mind coming up?
mdp.39015063942802	You can think of no reason?"
mdp.39015063942802	You do n't mean that headless body of which the evening papers are full?"
mdp.39015063942802	You found Mr. Hobbs at that desk in your brother's study, did n't you — at the secret drawer?"
mdp.39015063942802	You have n't a furnace, have you?"
mdp.39015063942802	You knew Mr. Newman well?"
mdp.39015063942802	You knew he was killed trying to get a couple of wounded soldiers out of a shell- hole that was filling with water?
mdp.39015063942802	You remember that while the Cliffords were at St. Jean de Luz two years ago, Etcheverrey's name was in every paper?"
mdp.39015063942802	You remember the case, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942802	You saw his face?"
mdp.39015063942802	You say they both live with the Cliffords?"
mdp.39015063942802	You see?
mdp.39015063942802	You think?"
mdp.39015063942802	You're referring to last Wednesday eve- ning, of course?"
mdp.39015063942802	You've seen the evening papers?"

mdp.39015063942802	or my profession?"
mdp.39015063542495	'Is that so? ” Dundee commented, still frowning. mdp.39015063542495 'Those eyes'?"
mdp.39015063542495	A charming name, do n't you think? mdp.39015063542495 A patient? ” Dundee grinned.
mdp.39015063542495	About two feet away from it, sir. ”Room for the old man to pass without waking up this bird? ”"Yes, sir. ”"Listen, you!
mdp.39015063542495	Afraid I have n't, ” Dundee answered, “ but maybe your bootlegger will be around again today. ” “ My bootlegger?-again today?
mdp.39015063542495	Ai n't it hot? ” Boykin boasted. mdp.39015063542495 Alibi? ” Cantrell repeated angrily.
mdp.39015063542495	Alone? ” Strawn shot at her. mdp.39015063542495 And Archie Webster is her present choice? ”'Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	And I'll bet you had a good idea who the man was, did n't you? mdp.39015063542495 And at what time did the patients begin to gather for the picture show?"
mdp.39015063542495	And before that?
mdp.39015063542495	And did Muvver want to see her baby?
mdp.39015063542495	And did the patients wait in the O. T. Shop all that time? ” Dundee continued. mdp.39015063542495 And have you any plans for replacing the man who'made Mayfield?"
mdp.39015063542495	And it is not until the complete message has been taken down by the operator that she asks,'What is your tele- phone number, please?' mdp.39015063542495 And on your way to your cottage? ”"No one at all, ” came the unequivocal answer.
mdp.39015063542495	And say, one of the boys spun a theory that ai n't so dusty. ”Yeah?"
mdp.39015063542495	And so the party shoved off? ” Dundee asked. mdp.39015063542495 And the telephone number? ” Dundee insisted.
mdp.39015063542495	And these rubber gloves, doctor? ”Miss Caplan wore them.
mdp.39015063542495	And what possible connection could there exist be- tween'E- d- i'and Sandlin?
mdp.39015063542495	And what state did you find her in? ” Dundee asked more gently. mdp.39015063542495 And where is Dr. Mayfield now?"
mdp.39015063542495	And you're here because you think 1- 1 killed him?
mdp.39015063542495	Any distinguishing or unusual aspects of his case? ”! mdp.39015063542495 Any other enemies?"
mdp.39015063542495	Anyone to back up that alibi? ” Strawn demanded crudely. mdp.39015063542495 Anything distinctive about it — the paper, I mean?"
mdp.39015063542495	Archie, my own true love, where did this gorgeous male thing come from?
mdp.39015063542495	Are n't we the dreat big sheik, though?
mdp.39015063542495	Are you a — a policeman?
mdp.39015063542495	Are you familiar with Clyde Powell's case history, doctor? ”In a general way only, ” she admitted.
mdp.39015063542495	At what time did you come on duty, Miss Caplan?
mdp.39015063542495	But 168 ONE DROP OF BLOOD eran did he explain, give you any clew as to what had happened?
mdp.39015063542495	But Baldwin did not know that a senile, feeble old man had recorded the same interesting fact. ”Did that doddering old fool-?"
mdp.39015063542495	But first, will you tell me how you happen to be calling so early this morning? ”For two reasons, sir, ” Morse answered curtly.
mdp.39015063542495	But how did that sentence in Powell's case history tip the doctor off? ” Strawn demanded, sorely puzzled. mdp.39015063542495 But how?"
mdp.39015063542495	But if it had n't been for that damned movie, as you call it, think of the fun we'd miss playing'Button, button, who's got the button?' mdp.39015063542495 But it was Dr. Harlow who admitted me. ”"Is n't she a darling? ” Enid Rambler exclaimed enthusi- astically.
mdp.39015063542495	But may I again remind you, gentlemen, that Miss Merrick was, in her day, a shining ornament of the concert stage? mdp.39015063542495 But what has all this to do with Howard Salter?"
mdp.39015063542495	But what's all this got to do with the price of eggs?
mdp.39015063542495	But you made no inquiries as to when the doctor had left?
mdp.39015063542495	But you're sure about Mr. Webster and his visitor, Miss Caplan, in spite of the shop's being dark? ” Dundee asked, his voice very gentle. mdp.39015063542495 But — how does Enid Rambler fit into the picture?"
mdp.39015063542495	But — if the evidence points to that conclusion? ” Dun- dee asked mildly. mdp.39015063542495 But-why the blood on the corner of the desk?
mdp.39015063542495	By the way, Doc, how old are you?
mdp.39015063542495	By the way, do you have any idea why Dr. Koenig made the notation,'Call Morse,'on his desk calendar? ”Yes.
mdp.39015063542495	Ca n't you take my word for it that I was there?
mdp.39015063542495	Calamity?
mdp.39015063542495	Can you give me ONE DROP OF BLOOD a line on the sanitarium, Chief? mdp.39015063542495 Clyde Powell? ” Dr. Harlow echoed incredulously.
mdp.39015063542495	Clyden are they?
mdp.39015063542495	Cured? mdp.39015063542495 Dia the staff dinino lunch, exceptie answered eagers"Did anything unusual happen yesterday?
mdp.39015063542495	Did Dr. Wiggin's letter to Dr. Koenig, received yesterday morning, actually state that the patient had arrived?
mdp.39015063542495	Did Mrs. Morse, rich in her own right, marry a poor man as well as an agnostic? ”"I do not! ” she flared. mdp.39015063542495 Did he make that remark apropos of Rowan?"
mdp.39015063542495	Did it not occur to you, Miss Lacey, that Dr. Koenig wanted to help you provide for- Sonny? ” Dundee asked, and again he hated his job. mdp.39015063542495 Did n't I tell you I had a hot tip for you?
mdp.39015063542495	Did she go to the movie?
mdp.39015063542495	Did you hear anything else they said? ” Dundee prodded. mdp.39015063542495 Did you hear anything to make you think he was busy with a patient?"
mdp.39015063542495	Did you keep these occasional transcriptions that Dr. Mayfield asked for? ” Dundee asked the secretary. mdp.39015063542495 Did you make any tests to determine how long the doctor had been dead? ”"Yes.
mdp.39015063542495	Did you notice whether she tore them when she re- moved the gloves? ” Dundee asked. mdp.39015063542495 Did you see Webster? ” Strawn asked heartlessly.
mdp.39015063542495	Did you see or hear anything at all unusual to- night? ”No, sir.
mdp.39015063542495	Did you touch the- touch him?
mdp.39015063542495	Did you- give birth to him, Miss Lacey?
mdp.39015063542495	Do n't like the sound of that word, eh? ” Strawn gibed. mdp.39015063542495 Do n't you think, sir, that the use of that word is a little premature?"
mdp.39015063542495	Do you think she will come?
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. Koenig took me on as his assist- ant when he became head psychiatrist here, five years ago. ”And who was here ahead of him?"
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. Sand- lin used to say the boy had a chance to get well-"Sandlin?
mdp.39015063542495	Engrossed in so thrilling a picture as'Manslaughter?
mdp.39015063542495	Ever hear of a hired assassin? ” Strawn asked scorn- fully. mdp.39015063542495 Everything chicken, fresh got a lovel reception Techly, as he stron quiet?"
mdp.39015063542495	Everything quiet now, nurse? ” he asked in a low voice. mdp.39015063542495 Expensive? ” Dundee interrupted.
mdp.39015063542495	Find anything hot?
mdp.39015063542495	For God's sake, what happened? mdp.39015063542495 From nine o'clock?"
mdp.39015063542495	Got a lot of nuts here who could a- done it, eh, Doc? ”I do not feel qualified to answer that question, sir, ” Dr. Cantrell answered stiffly.
mdp.39015063542495	Got all that? mdp.39015063542495 Got any idea whose baby it is, then? ”"Not the ghost of an idea,"Dundee admitted hope- lessly.
mdp.39015063542495	Guess you hung around and watched him do the deed? ”Certainly not! ” she denied indignantly.
mdp.39015063542495	Had a powerful weight on your mind for two years, did n't you, Rowan?
mdp.39015063542495	Had n't you better tell me all about it? ” The girl stopped smiling and a wary look came into the deep blue eyes. mdp.39015063542495 Hardly necessary, is it, Chief? ” he answered lazily.
mdp.39015063542495	Harm?
mdp.39015063542495	Has he been here more than once?
mdp.39015063542495	Has n't she got home yet? mdp.39015063542495 Has the case history been found? ” Dr. Harlow asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Have n't lost any time, have you? ” he grinned at the girl maliciously. mdp.39015063542495 Have these mes- sages been checked against Wednesday's completed mes- sages?
mdp.39015063542495	He knew that Justine's principles were as high as his own. ”Candidly speaking, you believe Roger Baldwin lied?"
mdp.39015063542495	His nickname does suit him, does n't it? mdp.39015063542495 His patient, a white- haired old gent, was reading in bed. ”"Reading, was he? ” Strawn boomed.
mdp.39015063542495	Homicide? ” she breathed, and fell back upon her pillows, her eyelids closing. mdp.39015063542495 How about shining up my boat, young man? ”""Sure thing?"
mdp.39015063542495	How about shining up my boat, young man? ”"Sure thing?
mdp.39015063542495	How about you, little doctor? ” the Chief of the Homi- cide Squad demanded, pointing a finger at Justine Harlow. mdp.39015063542495 How are you going about it, Captain? ” Dundee asked respectfully.
mdp.39015063542495	How can we reach Mr. Powell by telephone, doctor?
mdp.39015063542495	How did you identify these two men in the gloom?
mdp.39015063542495	How does he fit into Edinger's description?
mdp.39015063542495	How is Miss Rambler? mdp.39015063542495 How is he today? ” he asked the attendant, whom he beckoned to a safe distance from the sleeper.
mdp.39015063542495	How long had he been ill?
mdp.39015063542495	How long has Clyde been ill, Mrs. Powell? ”Eleven years come Christmas,"she answered promptly.
mdp.39015063542495	How was that? ” Dundee asked sympathetically. mdp.39015063542495 How'd you guess it?"
mdp.39015063542495	How? ” Strawn demanded, but Dundee, without paus- ing to excuse himself, dashed out of the office and across the lawn to Sunflower Court. mdp.39015063542495 I ca n't imagine Enid's run- ning away —?
mdp.39015063542495	I do n't know a lot more than that, if you ask meAnd what about that mystery yarn- Murder Without Motive, that had the rubber gloves tip in it?"
mdp.39015063542495	I m a locked ward patient?
mdp.39015063542495	I suppose you've wired the Van Twings? ” Sanderson asked. mdp.39015063542495 I think that fat man was just a bootlegger-"When, exactly, was Webster's condition discovered?"
mdp.39015063542495	I — well, it would have been safer"What do you mean? ” Dundee asked sharply. mdp.39015063542495 I-"Did you notice anyone leave in that way?"
mdp.39015063542495	I_no, I could see he — was — His head"Just what did you do?
mdp.39015063542495	If it is not true that Dr. Koenig was little Carl's father,Dundee persisted quietly,"will you tell me who the father is?"
mdp.39015063542495	If it's Dr. Koenig, would you mind leav- ing us alone? mdp.39015063542495 Is n't it quite possible, ” Dr. Harlow suggested quietly,"that Dr. Koenig was referring to me?"
mdp.39015063542495	Is n't that rather obvious? ” Dundee shrugged. mdp.39015063542495 Is n't this where we turn?"
mdp.39015063542495	Is this door usually closed? ”No, sir, except in cold weather, and then it's not locked.
mdp.39015063542495	Is this loony old doctor bedridden, by any chance?
mdp.39015063542495	It was pretty dark in the O. T. Shop while the pictures was being run, was n't it? mdp.39015063542495 Just what happened? ”'Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Kinda funny way for a brain doctor to treat a patient, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063542495	Know anyone else there, sir?
mdp.39015063542495	Know her? mdp.39015063542495 Let me think- Do you mean everybody, including the staff? ”"Everybody."
mdp.39015063542495	Looks as if Sam Rowan's in the clear, does n't it? mdp.39015063542495 May I ask, Mrs. Cantrell, if you and Dr. Harlow are good friends? ”"The best of friends, ” she answered emphatically.
mdp.39015063542495	Mean to say a kid like you has been a doctor for five years?
mdp.39015063542495	Missing? ” Dundee sprang to his feet. mdp.39015063542495 Mr. Dundee?
mdp.39015063542495	Mrs. Morse to be saved from probable insanity?
mdp.39015063542495	Next door to the Rambler baby, eh? mdp.39015063542495 Nice little private garden, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063542495	No, sir. ”Did Dr. Koenig seem to have anything on his mind- anything that worried or upset him?"
mdp.39015063542495	Not even if he discovered yesterday some serious error on her part, in the treatment of a patient?
mdp.39015063542495	Not locked? ” the nurse repeated blankly. mdp.39015063542495 Not my bid?
mdp.39015063542495	Not- Claire Cantrell?
mdp.39015063542495	Now, Miss Caplan, can you tell us whether Mr. Rowan and Mr. Webster attended the show?
mdp.39015063542495	Now, Mr. Powell, one other question: at just what time did Dr. Koenig telephone you last?
mdp.39015063542495	Of course I was kind of surprised to see him —"Then Mr. Morse is not a frequent visitor?
mdp.39015063542495	Out where? ” Strawn demanded. mdp.39015063542495 Perhaps I'd better put it this way: did Dr. Koenig ever wonder aloud to you'where he'd seen those eyes before?"
mdp.39015063542495	Please remember that I am speaking as a doctor, as a psychiatrist, when I beg you not to voice any such theory to reporters. ” “ May I ask why?
mdp.39015063542495	Pretty fond of her, ai n't you, sister?.
mdp.39015063542495	Rather odd, is n't it? mdp.39015063542495 See that? ” he cried, pointing to the indicator on the face of the scales.
mdp.39015063542495	Shall we go into your sitting room? mdp.39015063542495 So you and Koenig had your spats, too, eh?"
mdp.39015063542495	So you had a quarrel with the Big Doctor, eh?
mdp.39015063542495	So you left the movie, Miss Ramsey?
mdp.39015063542495	Sonny? ” she repeated, in a voice that was scarcely more than a gasp for breath. mdp.39015063542495 Sure you'll be all right?_not faint again?
mdp.39015063542495	Surely you will let 250 ONE DROP OF BLOOD me see that message? mdp.39015063542495 Telephone me?"
mdp.39015063542495	The first thing he said was,'Feeling better now, child?' mdp.39015063542495 The where the bindes, with Sting the volumepon his digni"Well, what about it?

mdp.39015063542495	Then what the devil does he know that he's not telling?
mdp.39015063542495	Then you do n't think Miss Rambler is the murderess?
mdp.39015063542495	There are six apartments in the court, I believe?
mdp.39015063542495	There's the key to the puz- hy should the explained?
mdp.39015063542495	Three untorn folders weigh exactly one third more than these scraps! ”Proving?"
mdp.39015063542495	True?'' mdp.39015063542495 Very possible to leave — and return unnoticed? ”"I suppose so.
mdp.39015063542495	Voices? ” Dundee echoed incredulously. mdp.39015063542495 Was Miss Rambler still there when you got back? ”"No.
mdp.39015063542495	We did n't let him out of our sight from Christmas Day till we put him in the sanitarium. ”And while he was at Good Hope?"
mdp.39015063542495	What about those fine- torn scraps of paper? ” Dundee asked. mdp.39015063542495 What about you, Cantrell? ” Strawn leveled his fore- finger at the medical man.
mdp.39015063542495	What ails her? ”She's a manic, ” Happy Day explained, proud of his knowledge.
mdp.39015063542495	What did he want of Dr. Koenig? ” Strawn cut in. mdp.39015063542495 What do you know about it? ”"Nothing!
mdp.39015063542495	What do you mean? ” Strawn scowled. mdp.39015063542495 What else?
mdp.39015063542495	What have you got on her? ”Well, I'll be the man at the other end of the wire marveled.
mdp.39015063542495	What is Sonny's name, Miss Lacey? ” he countered. mdp.39015063542495 What is Webster's trouble? ”"Periodic drunkenness.
mdp.39015063542495	What is his first name, Miss Lacey? ” he insisted. mdp.39015063542495 What is it, Maizie? ”"A telegram for you, ” the secretary said, and handed over the yellow envelope.
mdp.39015063542495	What is it, little lady?
mdp.39015063542495	What luck so far? ”Swell luck! ” Dundee grinned.
mdp.39015063542495	What luck? ” Strawn asked the fingerprint expert. mdp.39015063542495 What smear? ” Dundee was plainly chagrined.
mdp.39015063542495	What the devil are you talking about? mdp.39015063542495 What time did you go back to the shop?"
mdp.39015063542495	What time does Miss Horne, the secretary, leave?
mdp.39015063542495	What's happened? ” he panted, as he reached the steps. mdp.39015063542495 What's the program?"
mdp.39015063542495	What's your full name?
mdp.39015063542495	What's your name?
mdp.39015063542495	When did you run away?
mdp.39015063542495	Where's your home? ” The girl wilted visibly. mdp.39015063542495 Which, you would say, places the murder at approxi- mately nine forty- five?"
mdp.39015063542495	Who are they?
mdp.39015063542495	Who are you, sir? mdp.39015063542495 Who is your boy- friend? ” he asked hastily and without caring in the least what the answer might be.
mdp.39015063542495	Who's that?
mdp.39015063542495	Whom did you sit beside?
mdp.39015063542495	Whose child is he? ” he added with startling abruptness. mdp.39015063542495 Why did you run away? ”.
mdp.39015063542495	Why not? ” Dundee forestalled Strawn, who was chew- ing his gray mustache in a way that portended a new theory. mdp.39015063542495 Why should I have told you?"
mdp.39015063542495	Why were you running away? ” he asked, very gently. mdp.39015063542495 Why, yes. ”"Then may I see the library card for Murder Without Motive?"
mdp.39015063542495	Why? ” But she was not satisfied. mdp.39015063542495 Will you call her, please, Maizie? ” Dr. Harlow asked wearily.
mdp.39015063542495	Will you tell me what, exactly, caused Mrs. Morse's illness? ” Dundee asked earnestly. mdp.39015063542495 Will you tell us about it? ”"At ten twenty I went up to my apartment on the second floor to change into my uniform.
mdp.39015063542495	With all the patients knowing about poor Dr. Koenig, and having hystericsHas anything serious happened?"
mdp.39015063542495	Would n't it be much ONE DROP OF BLOOD 211 choir wiser and simpler for you to tell me the whole truth about the child?
mdp.39015063542495	Would n't that be the natural thing for the fiend to do? mdp.39015063542495 Yeah? ” Dundee grinned.
mdp.39015063542495	Yeah? ” Strawn grinned wryly. mdp.39015063542495 Yes? ” Dundee prompted.
mdp.39015063542495	You are Mrs. Morse's nurse? ” Dundee asked curtly, in a low voice. mdp.39015063542495 You are insane, Miss Rambler, ” Baldwin said unemo- tionally, “ You are suffering from a suicidal mania""Suicidal?"
mdp.39015063542495	You came in through your own office, I suppose, Doc- tor? ” Dundee turned to Cantrell. mdp.39015063542495 You do n't mean?"
mdp.39015063542495	You know what happened here last night? ”Yes, sir, ” she quavered, the blue eyes filling instantly with tears.
mdp.39015063542495	You know why you're here, do n't you? ”I suppose I do, ” Rowan answered, surprisingly,"and I guess the sooner we get it over, the better.
mdp.39015063542495	You mean Miss Rambler, I suppose? mdp.39015063542495 You mean — the power of suggestion might bring about other murders, or attempted murders? ”"Yes, ” the little doctor nodded.
mdp.39015063542495	You mean, does she try to make a get- away? ” Flynn asked. mdp.39015063542495 You said, when you was telling us about that picture, that it was about a girl that got sent to prison, did n't you?
mdp.39015063542495	You saw someone else leave, Miss Caplan?
mdp.39015063542495	You told her he was dead? ” Dundee asked. mdp.39015063542495 You want me?"
mdp.39015063542495	You were with Dr. Mayfield when the attack seized him, I believe? ” Dundee asked abruptly. mdp.39015063542495 You will not try to piece together those tiny scraps of the destroyed case histories? ” she had asked him anxiously.
mdp.39015063542495	You — don't think —? ” the nurse gasped. mdp.39015063542495 You're pretty sure she telephoned him, ai n't you?"
mdp.39015063542495	You've discussed the case fully with her, of course?
mdp.39015063542495	You've seen the morning paper? mdp.39015063542495 You- going to Mayfield? ” she cried in horror.
mdp.39015063542495	Your conscience hurt you so bad that people thought you were crazy, did n't it? ”Yes.
mdp.39015063542495	'? ” Dundee leaned close to inquire, his blue eyes gleaming with excite- ment.
mdp.39015063542495	'Bout time for that secretary to show up, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063542495	'”"So you felt sure'she'was Enid Rambler? ” Dundee went on thoughtfully.
mdp.39015063542495	'”"Why? ” Strawn demanded.
mdp.39015063542495	'”"Yes? ” Dundee urged, as the girl paused.
mdp.39015063542495	* It was with obvious effort that she spoke again, after a shuddering intake of breath: “ Then — you do n't think a patient did it?"
mdp.39015063542495	- How could I?
mdp.39015063542495	.. Have you seen Roy White?
mdp.39015063542495	... And sweet?
mdp.39015063542495	... By the way, have you? ”"No.
mdp.39015063542495	... By the way, what do you hear from — from Penny? ” Dundee stopped halfway to the door of the sickroom.
mdp.39015063542495	... Dr. Cantrell, will you be good enough to take a book from that bookcase and hurl it across the room?"
mdp.39015063542495	... How is she liking law school by this time?
mdp.39015063542495	... How old would you take me to be? ” The girl dropped her hands and stared blankly at Rowan with drowned eyes.
mdp.39015063542495	... How's that? ”"Very diverting, Captain, ” Dundee smiled.
mdp.39015063542495	... Joe?
mdp.39015063542495	... Leaving Chicago when? ” When the answer came he thanked the information clerk and slowly replaced the receiver.
mdp.39015063542495	... No?
mdp.39015063542495	... Now, anything to report? ”"Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063542495	... Now, who are the other patients in the court?"
mdp.39015063542495	... ONE DROP OF BLOOD 185 Did he say rare?
mdp.39015063542495	... Of course he killed him,"she bedded simpStrawn, he deed?
mdp.39015063542495	... One of the patients?
mdp.39015063542495	... Shall we go now?"
mdp.39015063542495	... That so? ”"Yes, ” the girl answered, rather defiantly.
mdp.39015063542495	... Too bad! ”"You say the name is'E- d- i- n- g- e- r? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	... Was this lovely, frail girl- crazy?
mdp.39015063542495	... Well, once she was tucked away in a sanitarium-"Good Hope Sanitarium, of course? ” Dundee inter- rupted again.
mdp.39015063542495	... Well?
mdp.39015063542495	... What time?
mdp.39015063542495	... What's the matter with your attic, Big Boy? ”"Nothing, I hope,"Dundee answered, flushing.
mdp.39015063542495	... Will you get his history for me, Maizie?
mdp.39015063542495	... Wonder what she wants Enid for? ” To Dundee's amazement, the crippled girl readily agreed to be taken out upon the lawn in a wheel chair.
mdp.39015063542495	..."What was Koenig doing?
mdp.39015063542495	108 ONE DROP OF BLOOD"Is Mrs. Morse's attendant thoroughly reliable?"
mdp.39015063542495	251 him?
mdp.39015063542495	5. Who was the mysterious fat man?
mdp.39015063542495	7. Who was the father of Carl Lacey?
mdp.39015063542495	? ” There was a throbbing silence.
mdp.39015063542495	A matter of routine, you under- stand. ”"You want our alibis, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063542495	A rather strange coincidence, is n't it, that both of them should have a serious relapse last night?"
mdp.39015063542495	About halfway through it, eh? ”"I — believe so,"Cantrell answered coldly.
mdp.39015063542495	After a moment of manipulation she spoke into a receiver:"The kitchen?
mdp.39015063542495	Again the doctor's eyes blazed wrath, but he answered with savage brevity: “ Forty- nine! ”"And how old is thať pretty little wife of yours?
mdp.39015063542495	Ai n't you, Rosie?"
mdp.39015063542495	Always open it was, sir, no matter how busy he might be-'"Why? ” Dundee asked, surprised.
mdp.39015063542495	And I did n't like the picture-"Because it was named"Manslaughter'? ” Strawn sugo gested.
mdp.39015063542495	And across the court in D we have a Mrs. Morse-"Morse? ” Dundee repeated.
mdp.39015063542495	And had chance or a diabolical schemer hit upon two patients who could not possibly furnish the police with an unassailable alibi?
mdp.39015063542495	And if not, why the devil should his scalp go on prickling in that way it had of warning him of approaching disaster?
mdp.39015063542495	And it?
mdp.39015063542495	And she was crying and moaning-"Any words you could distinguish?"
mdp.39015063542495	And there I sat, heavy- hearted but still not knowing""Have you talked with Webster today?"
mdp.39015063542495	And what did Morse do between nine o'clock and nine forty- five, when Koenig was killed?
mdp.39015063542495	And what had happened to change Dr. Koenig's heart and mind so suddenly and so com- pletely?
mdp.39015063542495	And what the devil was blood doing there, anyway?
mdp.39015063542495	And who are you? ”"I'm Captain John Strawn, Chief of the Homicide Squad of the Hamilton Police Department, ” Strawn in- formed her grimly.
mdp.39015063542495	And who was Web- ster's visitor?
mdp.39015063542495	And why the devil did n't the little spitfire tell me she was going to take such a step?"
mdp.39015063542495	And will you call in my darling plainclothesman?
mdp.39015063542495	And you wanted him to have the right to be called- Carl Koenig, Jr.?"
mdp.39015063542495	Any idea who —?...
mdp.39015063542495	Any mys- terious visitors or telephone calls or telegrams, or anything of that sort for the doctor?"
mdp.39015063542495	Any such idea, I am sure, originated with Mr. Baldwin, as an economy move-"Are you intimating that I lied, Bruce? ” Baldwin inter- rupted furiously.
mdp.39015063542495	Anybody see him alive after that time?
mdp.39015063542495	Anything else, Carra- way? ”"A flock of prints that I got from doorknobs and doors and door frames.
mdp.39015063542495	Anyway, she was crying and talking at the same time""Could you distinguish what they said? ” Dundee urged, as the narrator paused.
mdp.39015063542495	Are most of the patients crazy?"
mdp.39015063542495	Are you crazy, too?"
mdp.39015063542495	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063542495	Asbeat in ing.,, Durished: Guld out the one ONE DROP OF BLOOD 197"Then you and Miss Lacey were with the child all evening?"
mdp.39015063542495	But I can read off the names and addresses of those mes- sages-"Have you looked through Wednesday's file since I called you? ” Dundee interrupted.
mdp.39015063542495	But as far as I can see, it does n't butter any parsnips for us. ”"You would n't kid me, mister, would you? ” Dundee pleaded.
mdp.39015063542495	But for a lucky chance I am afraid he would have been dead by now""You mean the bathroom light? ” Dundee interrupted.
mdp.39015063542495	But had Justine Harlow introduced the subject cunningly, for the purpose of eliciting this whole- hearted corroboration?
mdp.39015063542495	But had he really rejoiced?
mdp.39015063542495	But how- how?
mdp.39015063542495	But is n't it rather early in the morning for you to bully me, Mr. Dundee?
mdp.39015063542495	But it was not the'voice of God?
mdp.39015063542495	But might not a super- clever man have done just that?
mdp.39015063542495	But possibly you were saving those useless old dictaphone records of his, plan- ning to have them shaved for future use? ” Baldwin did not reply.
mdp.39015063542495	But suppose the accused- attendant, doctor, or trained nurse- had seen the accusation being typed out by the doctor, and bad known it to be true?
mdp.39015063542495	But the patient comes close, bends over, sees what the doc is writing, and — it's all about this patient, see?
mdp.39015063542495	But was it really broken?
mdp.39015063542495	But what did you think of Koenig? ”"A great man, I've been told, ” Dundee replied care- fully.
mdp.39015063542495	But when was it over?"
mdp.39015063542495	But who did this chap come to see, if it was n't you, Archie?"
mdp.39015063542495	But why murder the doctor?
mdp.39015063542495	But why pick on her?
mdp.39015063542495	But — how had blood come to be upon the corner of the doctor's desk?
mdp.39015063542495	By the way, have you notified the police?
mdp.39015063542495	By the way, little lady,"and he turned to Dr. Harlow,"whose fingerprints would normally be on the case histories?"
mdp.39015063542495	Called away, I presume. ”"Then the gloves she had used were in plain sight and accessible to anyone who wanted to use them? ” Dundee persisted.
mdp.39015063542495	Can any of you tell us whether either or both of these patients attended the movie?"
mdp.39015063542495	Check?
mdp.39015063542495	Clear as day, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063542495	Clyde?"
mdp.39015063542495	Coming along?"
mdp.39015063542495	Day, is n't it?
mdp.39015063542495	Did Muvver's baby hurt its poor little foot?"
mdp.39015063542495	Did he think he was making a speech before a jury?
mdp.39015063542495	Did she enjoy rubbing salt into the wound caused by the revelation that Dr. Koenig had planned to replace her?
mdp.39015063542495	Did you have an interview with Dr. Koenig last night? ”"I saw him, ” Dundee evaded, watching her intently.
mdp.39015063542495	Do you know her?
mdp.39015063542495	Do you think I'm going to leave you here?"
mdp.39015063542495	Do you — see what I mean? ” she persisted, her gray- green eyes wide with a very real terror.
mdp.39015063542495	Doctor read it on the train. ”"And his opinion of it?"
mdp.39015063542495	Does anyone know Attorney Forrest's telephone number? ”"He is my attorney also, ” Cantrell told him.
mdp.39015063542495	Does your doctor hold with having his patients told long, involved mystery stories? ” CHAPTER FIFTEEN"Wait a minute, Bonnie.
mdp.39015063542495	Does your patient ever get up and wander around at night?"
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. Cantrell agreed, and called Sanderson himself. ”"And how did you spend the evening, Mr. Baldwin? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. Koenig and I both thought he was almost cured. ”"What is the cause of his trouble? ” Dundee wanted to know.
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. Koenig knew you were stalling- that you did n't have any business to be here""How do you know that?"
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. Mayfield wanders downstairs, sees 46 ONE DROP OF BLOOD questions?
mdp.39015063542495	Dr. who?
mdp.39015063542495	Dundee turned his back upon the pitiful spectacle, and, winking at his one- time chief, demanded indignantly:"What's wrong, Officer?
mdp.39015063542495	Dundee?
mdp.39015063542495	Either that, or”—and he shrugged,—"to save yourself now you must protect him! ”"What on earth do you mean?"
mdp.39015063542495	Except that I unbolted the door into the hall, just as I told you. ”"Dr. Cantrell? ”"I disturbed nothing.
mdp.39015063542495	Family- money-""His name?"
mdp.39015063542495	Find the guy whose case history is missing-"Just what did you mean, Dr. Cantrell? ” Dundee asked curiously.
mdp.39015063542495	For ONE DROP OF BLOOD 171 Koenig say anything at all to you or to your husband about his intention of replacing Dr. Harlow with a male assistant?"
mdp.39015063542495	For instance, a practicing physician who is financially inter- ested in a sanitarium is exposed to countless tempta- tions""Such as?"
mdp.39015063542495	Friendly? ”"Why, yes, ” the girl answered.
mdp.39015063542495	Funny how the good old memory works, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063542495	Get it, boy?"
mdp.39015063542495	Get it?
mdp.39015063542495	Get up and down- stairs without help? ” Strawn persisted.
mdp.39015063542495	Give any reason for his act?"
mdp.39015063542495	Gon na sit up with her and hold her little white hand?
mdp.39015063542495	Got it all down, Brede?
mdp.39015063542495	Granted, for the sake of argument, that the chin had struck one of these objects: why had the murderer removed it?
mdp.39015063542495	Had Dr. Mayfield meant Koenig when he said that"that man"must leave Mayfield?
mdp.39015063542495	Had Morse stopped in to see the doctor who had wrought the miracle?
mdp.39015063542495	Had he counted on the fact that Salter was still out?
mdp.39015063542495	Had known that investigation would bring about dismissal or disgrace?
mdp.39015063542495	Had n't he lost precious, funny, peppery little Penny?
mdp.39015063542495	Had that sinister plotter beneath the window seen Salter strolling on the lawn with his fiancée?
mdp.39015063542495	Had the murderer possibly seen Webster leave the O. T. Shop, just as Miss Caplan had seen him?
mdp.39015063542495	Had the unex- pected cure of his wife upset some vile, deep- laid scheme?
mdp.39015063542495	Had they discovered who he was and plotted this whole mad afternoon to tantalize and confuse him?
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow, did Dr. Koenig ever say anything to you about Clyde Powell's reminding him of someone? ”"Why, of course not!"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Harlow?"
mdp.39015063542495	Have n't got a flask on your hip, have you?
mdp.39015063542495	Have you a key to that gate?"
mdp.39015063542495	Have you found out who did that awful thing, sir?
mdp.39015063542495	Have you seen a bad boy by the name of Edinger out at Mayfield? ”"Edinger? ” Dundee repeated blankly.
mdp.39015063542495	Have you seen a bad boy by the name of Edinger out at Mayfield? ”"Edinger? ” Dundee repeated blankly.
mdp.39015063542495	He believed he was still head of Mayfield Sanitarium, and that I was only a salaried cashier. ”"How did you happen to call Mr. Baldwin, Granger?"
mdp.39015063542495	He did?
mdp.39015063542495	He gets to worrying, see?
mdp.39015063542495	He sensed that you had some evil purpose, caught a look of hate in your eyes""What are you talking about? ” the girl interrupted scornfully.
mdp.39015063542495	He turned to Dr. Harlow: “ Do the patients sign for the books they take out of your library?"
mdp.39015063542495	He was an almost Christlike ascetic. ”"Do you know personally of any woman who was in love with him?"
mdp.39015063542495	He's expecting me. ”"You're from the district attorney's office, sir?"
mdp.39015063542495	Her children born in sin and not baptized ”"And all this was entirely in the unconscious?"
mdp.39015063542495	How big had the smear been before Carraway had offi- ciously dabbed at it with a wet towel- end, to make sure that it was blood?
mdp.39015063542495	How close to the bedroom door was this man's chair?"
mdp.39015063542495	How could he remember?
mdp.39015063542495	How did it get'way over there, why should the murderer wipe it up, ONE DROP OF BLOOD 51 and what did he wipe it with?
mdp.39015063542495	How did the girl get into the court records?"
mdp.39015063542495	How had he got here so soon?
mdp.39015063542495	How had he known of that exception?
mdp.39015063542495	How long was Mr. Webster with the doctor? ”"About fifteen minutes.
mdp.39015063542495	How're ye, Bon- nie?
mdp.39015063542495	How's she taking it?
mdp.39015063542495	How's that for a break?
mdp.39015063542495	How's your stomach?
mdp.39015063542495	I am — an orphan"Oh, yeah? ” Strawn sneered.
mdp.39015063542495	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063542495	I brought her back. ”"Enid Rambler? ”'Dr. Harlow asked, incredulity written all over her expressive face.
mdp.39015063542495	I ca n't realize these things you're saying — When was the doctor killed?"
mdp.39015063542495	I did n't want to drag them into this"Your friends'names? ” Dundee prodded.
mdp.39015063542495	I did not dream that he would kill for my sake-"What time did you come to this office last night?"
mdp.39015063542495	I did not wake her. ”"Then we'd better get hold of her right now, do n't you think, Bonnie?"
mdp.39015063542495	I do n't know his name. ”"They left together, of course?"
mdp.39015063542495	I drove home very fast, arriving at ten o'clock, as I said last night. ”"Do you know where Miss Lacey was during all that time?"
mdp.39015063542495	I have to appear in court in person, do n't I? ”"You're damned right you do!
mdp.39015063542495	I knew, then, that the Sandlin mystery was solved. ”"Sandlin?"
mdp.39015063542495	I left when the feature picture was about half finished""Why? ” Strawn shot at her.
mdp.39015063542495	I like to keep it looking like new —""It is new, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063542495	I mean, does the brain doctor tell'em the technical names for their troubles? ”"Certainly not, as a rule,"Dr. Cantrell answered, with great dignity.
mdp.39015063542495	I saw him come out with the others when the program was over. ”"Is there more than one door to the O. T. Shop? ” Dun.
mdp.39015063542495	I smoothed them out and filed those that did n't require an answer,"Was Dr. Wiggin's letter among them?"
mdp.39015063542495	I take it that you and Dr. Koenig did disagree in regard to some patient?"
mdp.39015063542495	I tell you, sir, every pre- caution is taken here- 18 ONE DROP OF BLOOD"May I see the body, please? ” Dundee interrupted curtly.
mdp.39015063542495	I used the phone in the chartroom. ”"By the way, are your telephones on a switchboard? ”'Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	I was afraid they'd put me in the locked ward for running away. ”"Then you're not a locked ward patient? ” he asked tactlessly.
mdp.39015063542495	I — I went to a movie. ”"Yeah?
mdp.39015063542495	I'd hate to tell you what I thought it was"The voice of God,'perhaps? ” Dundee dared inter- rupt again.
mdp.39015063542495	I'll tell Dr. Cantrell you're here, Mr. —?"
mdp.39015063542495	I'm getting old and I've got the post- mortem ahead of me yet to- night. ”"Did you find the skull to be of the usual thickness?"
mdp.39015063542495	I've seen eyes like his somewhere recently —""Koenig?"
mdp.39015063542495	If Koenig caught Morse in the wail- ing act, why did n't he immediately reassure Mrs. Morse?
mdp.39015063542495	If Rowan himself did not choose to tell — and why should he?—was that secret to be locked forever in the dead doctor's brain?
mdp.39015063542495	If anyone has wantonly destroyed some of them it will be a very serious loss. ”"I take it, then, that this filing cabinet is usually kept locked?''
mdp.39015063542495	If so, what had Koenig done to incur the old doctor's hatred?
mdp.39015063542495	If so, why had Dr. Koenig not crossed out the notation on his calendar-"Call Morse. ” Had death itself interfered with his meticulous efficiency?
mdp.39015063542495	If that woman had not been Justine Harlow, then who could she have been?
mdp.39015063542495	In 1919 that was. ”"What's the story?"
mdp.39015063542495	In fact, he refused to talk at all the one time Dr. Koenig summoned him to his office. ”"Have you read Salter's'serious'novel?"
mdp.39015063542495	Is Mrs. Morse-?"
mdp.39015063542495	Is n't that correct, Justine?"
mdp.39015063542495	Is n't that it? ”"No."
mdp.39015063542495	Is that right? ”"He wanted me to help him out,"the mother- in- law answered.
mdp.39015063542495	Is your patient asleep?"
mdp.39015063542495	It and Suite F are even larger than this. ”"Who are the other patients in the court?"
mdp.39015063542495	It was ajar. ”"Did you see Dr. Koenig? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	It's a sad night for Mayfield, sir, a mighty sad night. ”"You check in here every hour? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	It's the softest job I've struck in a coon's age. ”"No trouble at all, I take it?"
mdp.39015063542495	Just after we'd finished lunch — that was about half- past twelve- old Mr. Powell came to get Clyde's suitcase""Powell?
mdp.39015063542495	Keep my name out of it, will you? ”"Blamed if I know what to tell the boys, ” Strawn wor- ried, scratching his thick gray hair.
mdp.39015063542495	Koenig kept a case history on the old doc, same as on any other patient, I take it? ”"Yes, ” the girl admitted, startled.
mdp.39015063542495	Koenig!?
mdp.39015063542495	Koenig?"
mdp.39015063542495	Lunter, sadmeld en"DR. HARLOW, why was n't I told last night that How- ard Salter had tried to commit suicide?"
mdp.39015063542495	May I see her now?"
mdp.39015063542495	May I speak with Mr. Forrest, please?"
mdp.39015063542495	Morse?
mdp.39015063542495	My only concern is that we get a man of whom Koenig himself would have approved. ”"Meaning this Dr. Sandlin, eh? ” Strawn caught him up.
mdp.39015063542495	No use broadcasting this particular secret, is there, sir? ”"None that I can see so far, ” Sanderson replied.
mdp.39015063542495	No use tipping off the murderer that he overplayed his hand. ”"How's this, lad? ” Strawn was still thoughtfully scratching his scalp.
mdp.39015063542495	Not of that girl! ”"Because she's got red hair and green eyes, and a cute way of wrinkling her nose when she grins? ” Strawn cut in slyly.
mdp.39015063542495	Not until he reached the third sheet — the register ONE DROP OF BLOOD 259"Young man? ” Dundee repeated, with a premonitory twinge in his heart.
mdp.39015063542495	Now what is his memory most con- cerned with? ”"His work, ” Dundee answered dutifully.
mdp.39015063542495	Now, Miss Caplan, will you tell us whether Mr. Rowan stayed for the entire showing of the pictures?"
mdp.39015063542495	Now, Miss Lacey, was this office left exactly as you found it? ”"It was.
mdp.39015063542495	Now, outside of Miss Rambler's disappearance?"
mdp.39015063542495	Now, what had the doctor been typing?
mdp.39015063542495	ONE DROP OF BLOOD 121"You do n't think?...
mdp.39015063542495	ONE DROP OF BLOOD ONE DROP OF BLOOD CHAPTER ONE “ SURE you would n't be better off in a hospital, Chief? ”.
mdp.39015063542495	ONE DROP OF BLOOD"And is that extraordinary? ” Dundee asked quickly.
mdp.39015063542495	Oh, Lord! ”"Got a pain in your tummy? ” Archie Webster asked hopefully.
mdp.39015063542495	On what day did she enter Mayfield? ”"The evening of Wednesday, April second, ” Dundee told him.
mdp.39015063542495	One opens out onto the back lawn, and another leads into the storeroom, back the back aldwin's office locked?"
mdp.39015063542495	Or had his choice of case histories to be destroyed been hit or miss?
mdp.39015063542495	Or maybe it's a psychosis. ”"Do you know whether Mr. Morse saw Dr. Koenig this evening, before or after he visited his wife?"
mdp.39015063542495	Or of criminal neglect on the part of some member of the staff or of an attendant?
mdp.39015063542495	Or, rather, she was until tonight, when she got all upset again. ”"What happened to upset her tonight? ” Dundee asked sharply.
mdp.39015063542495	Our friend the murderer is one of these patients who do n't even know he's loony, because the family has been protecting him, see?
mdp.39015063542495	Perhaps Roger Baldwin is a much better man than he gives himself credit for being. ”"Did Salter talk at all?
mdp.39015063542495	Play bridge?
mdp.39015063542495	Play out the comedy and get it over with? ” Strawn interrupted helplessly.
mdp.39015063542495	Poker? ” “ Both, ” Dundee assured him.
mdp.39015063542495	Pretty as paint, ai n't she?
mdp.39015063542495	Pretty cool, ai n't you, Rowan?
mdp.39015063542495	Right? ” Again Sanderson commanded, but less irritably:"Go on!"
mdp.39015063542495	Right?"
mdp.39015063542495	Right?"
mdp.39015063542495	Sandlin?"
mdp.39015063542495	Sandlin?"
mdp.39015063542495	Say, I supposed you noticed that smear on the desk?"
mdp.39015063542495	Scotch- Irish, ai n't you?
mdp.39015063542495	See anybody during any of them strolls of yours? ” Color flamed in the girl's cheeks.
mdp.39015063542495	See?
mdp.39015063542495	See?
mdp.39015063542495	See?
mdp.39015063542495	She is n't mixed up in this, is she?"
mdp.39015063542495	She left here simply ages ago. ”"Can you tell me just when she did leave? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	She rang for me and I had to get Miss Caplan to come over and give her a strong sedative. ”"Did Mrs. Morse say what had upset her? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	She wo n't be here much longer'n"'She'?"
mdp.39015063542495	She's having a swell time — all the time! ”"A nymphomaniac? ” Dundee asked interestedly.
mdp.39015063542495	She- she took it and squeezed it and said,'Are n't I brave?'
mdp.39015063542495	Shop? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Stealing another march on me?"
mdp.39015063542495	Strong?"
mdp.39015063542495	Surely he explained so strange a remark?"
mdp.39015063542495	That stupid police captain thinks you murdered Dr. Koenig, does n't he?"
mdp.39015063542495	That's the very word Mrs. Cantrell used to express the way his voice sounded, ai n't it, Bonnie? ” “ Correct, ” Dundee agreed.
mdp.39015063542495	That's what business managers are for. ” “ Then I take it there was n't much love lost between you and the doctor?"
mdp.39015063542495	The Big Doctor was anxious to get rid of her, was n't he?
mdp.39015063542495	The back of his head cracked open- God! ”"Who did it?-a loony patient? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	The doctor was jubilant, told me he was sure Rowan could be cured now""What did Rowan talk about? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	The old doctor was always turning against one of us and ordering us off the place-"Just what happened when you came up?"
mdp.39015063542495	The old lady was no more crazy than I am! ”"How did the son find that out? ” Dundee asked, a little skeptically.
mdp.39015063542495	The old man's memory is pretty good after all, eh, Carl?"
mdp.39015063542495	The rest of these apartments are only a hundred and fifty. ”"Did Mr. Salter go to the movies to- night? ” Dundee asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Then Edinger played his trump ace-"Not a voice from the Beyond? ” Dundee interrupted quickly.
mdp.39015063542495	Then did he tell you the nature 74 ONE DROP OF BLOOD of the business on which he wished to consult your hus- band?
mdp.39015063542495	Then, with eyes narrowed and voice throarily ONE DROP OF BLOOD 189 significant, she asked of the table in general: “ Has any one seen Justine?
mdp.39015063542495	Then:"At seven- twenty, you say?
mdp.39015063542495	Then:"Dr. Harlow, have you a list of all the patients who are here at present?"
mdp.39015063542495	Then:"I wonder if you could tell me, Mrs. Forrest, whether Dr. Carl Koenig tried to reach his attorney this evening?
mdp.39015063542495	Then:"Āre any patients quartered in this building?"
mdp.39015063542495	There's a light switch just inside the door-""Then there was no light on in here when you entered? ”"No, of course not.
mdp.39015063542495	They both had seats near the door, in the same row where Enid sat. ”"Did Webster speak to the girl before he left?''
mdp.39015063542495	To my notion Lora and Roland are n't married at all-"Then you did not give your consent to the union? ” Dundee broke in.
mdp.39015063542495	To say nothing of Norah Lacey and Rose Caplan —""Are you crazy?"
mdp.39015063542495	Toppled over, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063542495	Tubercu- losis, I'm afraid. ”"And what happened Wednesday night?"
mdp.39015063542495	Very thin skull. ”"At approximately what hour do you calculate that death occurred? ” Strawn took a hand.
mdp.39015063542495	Wanted to send her away and you said she was n't able to go- eh, little lady?"
mdp.39015063542495	Was he alone? ” Strawn asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Was he developing an appropriate neurasthenia, to fit his rôle of patient?
mdp.39015063542495	Was he giving too much time to the Morse mystery, and thereby neglecting the major mystery of the psychia- trist's murder?
mdp.39015063542495	Was it his hand- or ber hand — which had underlined these pages so liberally?
mdp.39015063542495	Was not that the explanation of the divided estate?
mdp.39015063542495	Was she really mentally ill, or shamming, as Koenig believed?
mdp.39015063542495	Was the doctor's door open then? ”"No.
mdp.39015063542495	Well, anyway, Mrs. Morse never would say'l'or'me'—""What's that? ” Dundee puzzled.
mdp.39015063542495	Well, can you bear it, children?
mdp.39015063542495	Well, he asked me if I'd like a nip, and I said,'Do I look crazy?'
mdp.39015063542495	Well, teltching in, is he?
mdp.39015063542495	Well, then, whereabouts in the fillum do they show her in a cell?
mdp.39015063542495	Well, what difference does it make?
mdp.39015063542495	Well? ” Captain Strawn sat back on his haunches, his heavy face sadly puzzled.
mdp.39015063542495	Western Union?
mdp.39015063542495	What ONE DROP OF BLOOD 213 Had Koenig been so oblivious to scandal?
mdp.39015063542495	What about you?"
mdp.39015063542495	What dark secret had clouded Samuel Rowan's mind and sealed his lips for two long years?
mdp.39015063542495	What did Archie Webster have to say for himself when Strawn got hold of him this morning?"
mdp.39015063542495	What did you do it for? ”.
mdp.39015063542495	What do you think I'm here for?-ingrown toe- nails? ” and Marjorie Merrick laughed loudly.
mdp.39015063542495	What do you want here?"
mdp.39015063542495	What does he do?
mdp.39015063542495	What had Koenig wanted of his lawyer, that could not wait until morning?
mdp.39015063542495	What had he read there?
mdp.39015063542495	What more unlikely place for romance than a sanitarium for"mental ” cases?
mdp.39015063542495	What movie did you see, sister?"
mdp.39015063542495	What then?'
mdp.39015063542495	What was Enid Rambler concealing?
mdp.39015063542495	What was his connection with Enid Rambler?
mdp.39015063542495	What was that something likely to be? ”"A case history, I suppose, ” Dundee admitted.
mdp.39015063542495	What — whom — could he believe?
mdp.39015063542495	What's that?
mdp.39015063542495	When I had finished with the boy-""Bawled him out, did he?"
mdp.39015063542495	When did you first notice that Mrs. Morse was upset? ”"I came in when I saw Mr. Morse leave,"the nurse answered, her voice frightened.
mdp.39015063542495	When did you view the body? ”"Not more than three minutes after Miss Lacey discov- ered what had happened.
mdp.39015063542495	When is it to be? ”* Recounted in"Murder at Bridge,"by Anne Austin( Macmillan, 1931).
mdp.39015063542495	Where was Maizie Horne on Wednesday evening?
mdp.39015063542495	Where were you before that time? ”"I was out, ” the nurse answered defiantly.
mdp.39015063542495	Where were you from that time on? ”"At home, subject to call.
mdp.39015063542495	While he had made no progress toward solving the murder, the ONE DROP OF BLOOD 231 Hope Sanitariumame of Clydaat name have been ing memory to click?
mdp.39015063542495	Who else? ” Strawn prodded impatiently.
mdp.39015063542495	Who else?"
mdp.39015063542495	Who had read this book?
mdp.39015063542495	Who killed Carl Koenig? ” Dundee laughed.
mdp.39015063542495	Who was that chosen victim?
mdp.39015063542495	Who you want to see? ”"Dr. Cantrell.
mdp.39015063542495	Who's telling this yarn? ” Boykin demanded, aggrievedly.
mdp.39015063542495	Who's that? ” Her terror was a sickening thing to see, but before Dun- dee could find words she was sitting up and clutching at his coat sleeve.
mdp.39015063542495	Why did n't he burn it?"
mdp.39015063542495	Why had Dr. Mayfield demanded, almost with his last breath — and while lucid, according to all evidence- to see Dr. Koenig?
mdp.39015063542495	Why had Koenig suddenly determined to dismiss Dr. Harlow?
mdp.39015063542495	Why had he chosen Archie Web- ster's record of drinking debauches and probably mild attacks of delirium tremens?
mdp.39015063542495	Why not admit it?
mdp.39015063542495	Why on earth should I kill him? ”"I admit that we've got to find the motive, ” Strawn told her magnanimously.
mdp.39015063542495	Why should he? ” Mrs. Cantrell asked.
mdp.39015063542495	Why should it? ”"Was the handwriting similar? ”"Not similar enough to attract my attention, certainly!"
mdp.39015063542495	Why should it? ”"Was the handwriting similar? ”"Not similar enough to attract my attention, certainly!"
mdp.39015063542495	Why was Clyde Powell's case history completely missing, along with the Wiggin letter?
mdp.39015063542495	Why?
mdp.39015063542495	Why?"
mdp.39015063542495	Will you accompany Captain Strawn on his rounds?"
mdp.39015063542495	Will you ask her if the name of Edinger appeared in it, in any connection whatever?"
mdp.39015063542495	Will you come here, please?"
mdp.39015063542495	Will you come in?"
mdp.39015063542495	Will you please tell me whether Miss Norah Lacey was there this evening?"
mdp.39015063542495	Wo n't you forgive me?"
mdp.39015063542495	Wo n't you please take him away now, out of my rooms? ” Edith Ramsey broke the silence, her voice sound.
mdp.39015063542495	Wonder what's keeping Baldwin?
mdp.39015063542495	Would you like a sip?"
mdp.39015063542495	Would you like to go to your rooms now, sir?"
mdp.39015063542495	Yes... How long —?
mdp.39015063542495	You mean a sudden cure?"
mdp.39015063542495	You rece?"
mdp.39015063542495	You see, Edinger had ribbed up the nurse to work a ouija board with the old lady-"How old was she? ”"Fifty or so, ” Boykin answered impatiently.
mdp.39015063542495	You understand?
mdp.39015063542495	You want to see'em, Bonnie?"
mdp.39015063542495	You were going to let me miss my turn, were n't you? ” Sulking, Dundee decided, as she did not answer.
mdp.39015063542495	You were n't taking any chances, were you, Rowan? ”"You mean you're accusing me?"
mdp.39015063542495	You were n't taking any chances, were you, Rowan? ”"You mean you're accusing me?"
mdp.39015063542495	You were with her while Mr. Morse was here? ”"Not in the sitting room with them — no, sir.
mdp.39015063542495	You'll remember that, I hope?
mdp.39015063542495	You're not quoting Penny, by any chance? ”"I never gave her a chance to turn me down, ” Dundee answered, his blue eyes frank and friendly again.
mdp.39015063542495	Your name is Rambler, ai n't it?"

mdp.39015063542495	ya"Salter has the rooms next to Mrs. Morse, has n't he?"
mdp.39015063542495	— and chewing his nails?
mdp.39015063542495	“ A flapper by the name of Edith Ramsey""Edith Ramsey?"...
mdp.39015063542495	“ After all, what possible motive for murdering the doctor could that kid have? ”"Thanks, Boykin,"Dundee answered tonelessly.
mdp.39015063542495	“ And whether she discarded them?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ And who were you with?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ And — you know the terms of that will, Doctor? ”"I do, because I was one of the witnesses when it was signed.
mdp.39015063542495	“ But I always persuade him to get back to bed. ” “ Did he get out of bed tonight?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ But I ca n't see-""Where did Miss Caplan get the rubber gloves? ”"Out of the cabinet, of course.
mdp.39015063542495	“ But exactly where am I? ” Dundee grinned.
mdp.39015063542495	“ But if you honestly believe in that theory, how can you promise her immunity?
mdp.39015063542495	“ But who can you find to swear you did n't sneak out about half- past nine and in again just before ten?
mdp.39015063542495	“ By the way, Doctor,"and he turned to Cantrell,"what time did Dr. Koenig dine?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Dead? ” Dundee helped her gently.
mdp.39015063542495	“ Did he tell you — or you and Dundee turned first to Cantrell and then to Baldwin,"what Rowan talked about?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Did n't Dr. Harlow warn us to expect a raft of confessions from upset patients? ”"But this one's no nut,"Strawn protested.
mdp.39015063542495	“ Do n't mind her, Dundee""Jealous, my pet?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Do the nutty patients know their what- d'-you- call- it?—their diag- nosis?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Do you like him?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Every- thing quiet, Miss Hunter? ” To his astonishment the night nurse flushed darkly behind her freckles and her hazel eyes avoided his.
mdp.39015063542495	“ Friend of yours, eh? ”"I've never met the man in my life, ” Baldwin denied scornfully.
mdp.39015063542495	“ Give my bus a good rub, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Go where? ” Dundee asked, as if great surprise.
mdp.39015063542495	“ He can walk all right, ca n't he?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Her name? ”"Oh, she lied about that, too, ” Dundee laughed.
mdp.39015063542495	“ I was dumfounded — ”"Then you know of no reason why Dr. Koenig should have been so generous to you? ”"No.
mdp.39015063542495	“ In two cases where the defendants'names begin with'E- d- i-'?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Is there anything I can do, Miss Rambler? ” he asked softly, when he had reached her side.
mdp.39015063542495	“ It would have been'good business'to clean out Dr. Mayfield's rooms thor- oughly, would n't it, Baldwin?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Now, who's been handling them in the ordinary course of duty? ”"Why- ” she began, her voice still flat with dismay.
mdp.39015063542495	“ Sanderson's listening in, is he?
mdp.39015063542495	“ So Josephine did it, eh, Mrs. Asbury?
mdp.39015063542495	“ The operator's first query is:'To whom is the night letter going?”—Not,'What is your telephone number or your name?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Their address and — telephone number?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Then Dr. Koenig said nothing to you yesterday or before then about replacing Dr. Harlow with a male psychiatrist? ”"Of course not!
mdp.39015063542495	“ What was his attitude?
mdp.39015063542495	“ What's your name?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ When did this quarrel take place?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Who is Josephine?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Who is Mr. Salter?
mdp.39015063542495	“ Why?"
mdp.39015063542495	“ Will you help me to run away? ”"We'll discuss that later, ” Dundee retorted cheerfully.
mdp.39015063542495	“ With this room in the mess it is?
mdp.39015063542495	“ You two were great friends, were n't you?
mdp.39015063940244	'1 suppose,'he said to Joan,'there's no doubt about that?'
mdp.39015063940244	'A pencil heah?'
mdp.39015063940244	'A servant?'
mdp.39015063940244	'About twelve- thirty, I reckin, do n't you, Jason?'
mdp.39015063940244	'About what time did you find her?'
mdp.39015063940244	'About you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'After you suggested it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Ah, Miss Shields,'he said,'and how is Miss Fordman?
mdp.39015063940244	'Ai n't that somethin'?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Alone?'
mdp.39015063940244	'An'you, Chick?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And Ed Frank?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And did Mrs. Lawrence agree to this secret between you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And did you do anything to cause Mrs. Lawrence to change her mind?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And do n't you want to make a statement of some sort?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And does he care for her?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And found you more interested?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And has he paid?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And how does he happen to be on your list?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And if,'he said,'we have — what about it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And the lights?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And the man?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And the next letter?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And the note she left for you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And what caused this change on her part?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And yesterday at noon, Mr. Drexell — where were you then?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And yesterday — where were you before the in- quest was scheduled to start?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And you have no idea who struck you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And you returned every letter?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And you saw no one on the Ford man property?'
mdp.39015063940244	'And you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Another alibi?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Any change?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Any news?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Any trouble with yo* car, Miss Joan?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Anyway,'continued the woman,'the second note said,"I think you've changed your mind, have n't you?
mdp.39015063940244	'Are you all right?
mdp.39015063940244	'Are you getting up now?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Are you there alone?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Are you using their names in the local story?'
mdp.39015063940244	'At the El Patio Hotel?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Been here long?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Belinda, if you saw a man's handkerchief, would you recognize it?
mdp.39015063940244	'Blackmail?
mdp.39015063940244	'Blackmailer?'
mdp.39015063940244	'But how about the Songs of Solomon?
mdp.39015063940244	'But how would he know that Ross had the stuff, and where?'
mdp.39015063940244	'But you did ask her then?'
mdp.39015063940244	'But you would n't swear to it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'But you're older, Ed, and things do n't mean much to you, anyway, do they?'
mdp.39015063940244	'But,'objected Joan,'who shot Mr. Fordman?
mdp.39015063940244	'Buy it?
mdp.39015063940244	'By the way, at exactly what time did the explosion occur?
mdp.39015063940244	'Can you get along without it until Dick can look it over?
mdp.39015063940244	'Can you talk?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Come, now — surely you can say five or ten minutes, or longer?'
mdp.39015063940244	'D'ya mind if I look around?
mdp.39015063940244	'D'you know where she was at the time of the shoot- ing?'
mdp.39015063940244	'D'you mean about seven o'clock?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Dead?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did Drexell find them on?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did John Fordman provide for you when he broke off the affair?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did Johnny's gusher gush?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did Mr. Drexell remind you of the fact that he talked with you that day?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did Mr. Drexell speak of the happenings here in town?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did Mr. Drexell tell you why he wanted you to remember that he was talking with you at the field?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did he ever buy any chickens from you before?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did he leave any reason, any note?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did it give the return address then?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did it help you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did n't you hear the explosion when the well was shot?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did she?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did you check up on Levy?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did you know any of the men with him?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did you look in to see if she was asleep?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did you see her between twelve and one?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did you try to find out who was promoting this business?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Did your father appoint a guardian?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do n't you know what was in the letter, Marion?
mdp.39015063940244	'Do n't you wish you knew?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you have to go back tonight?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you know to whom Fordman referred?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you know where she went when Texas took her to town?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you suppose she's had it ever since the war?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you suppose that Drexell's story is true?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you think she'll die?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you think that she is in love with Gere?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you work for Mrs. Jones, too?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Do you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Does Mom know you're with me?'

mdp.39015063940244	'Does Mrs. Ross play golf?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Does anyone know anything?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Does n't he deny it, Jimmie?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Does she play bridge?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Drink and play bridge — is n't there anything else to do in this burg?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Drunk?'

mdp.39015063940244	'Fields sure it warn't no ordinary hold- up?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Find anything?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Frank?
mdp.39015063940244	'Get it?
mdp.39015063940244	'Good God, Joan,'she said,'what will happen next?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Good Lord — you do n't want much, do you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Good Lord, Dick, what will you do next?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Good- looker?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Gun Club?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Has anyone identified the large gun yet?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Have the police checked on the alibis for the second murder yet?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Have you ever seen this?'

mdp.39015063940244	'He benefits, too, does n't he?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Her stuff any good?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Hey,'he said,'where's the light?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Hit's shore goin'to be one hot day, ai n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How about Day?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How about taking a bath?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How about the inspectors of the state oil commis- sion?
mdp.39015063940244	'How did it get up here so late?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How did the sheriff welcome you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How did you find out about the calls?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How did you meet her, Marion?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How does Agnes Jones shoot?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How is that?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How long had you been talking?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How long has he been here?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How long will it be before it hits here?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How much did he offer you for your help?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How was it that you failed to hear of your em- ployer's death?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How was that?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How would he know that the fel- low in the car was friend or enemy?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How would he know?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How'd you guess that I was going to the field?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How'd you know?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How's Miss Marion?'
mdp.39015063940244	'How?'
mdp.39015063940244	'I do n't suppose he's so interested in this, is he?'
mdp.39015063940244	'I mean, were you friendly?'
mdp.39015063940244	'I suppose that there is a lot of work to be done — getting the estate in shape and all that?'
mdp.39015063940244	'I think he's sort of sick, do n't you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'In not having accepted you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Is it out of order?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Is she in Houston?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Is that all?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Is this from your sheet?'
mdp.39015063940244	'It is going to be a pretty big mess, is n't it, Sister?'
mdp.39015063940244	'It really does a lot of good, does n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'It's going to be worse than yesterday,'commented Joan; and then to the colored man:'Texas, will you help Mr. Jimmie put my top up?
mdp.39015063940244	'It's sad for Marion, is n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Ja see Marion?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Jimmie?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Joan,'she said too loudly,'is Mildred up- stairs?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Kin I have a drink o'water?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Last Saturday?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Leaving town?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Looking for him?
mdp.39015063940244	'Marion Fordman?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Marion,'she began,'why did Mrs. Lawrence want to go to town?'
mdp.39015063940244	'May I ask you a few questions first, Miss Ford- man?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Me?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Mildred?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Mitch,'she said,'what time did you say that you went over to the Mesa?'
mdp.39015063940244	'No go?'
mdp.39015063940244	'No longer?'
mdp.39015063940244	'No, not that I know of — but why is it so im- portant?'
mdp.39015063940244	'No,'agreed Dick,'but why did you leave home and go to the club at such a late hour?
mdp.39015063940244	'Not anything?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Now this Fordman girl — she's the daugh- ter?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Now who could have done such a thing, Miss Joan?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Oh, Miss Shields, did you get my list?'
mdp.39015063940244	'On the Fourth of July?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Payable in cash?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Pitchers?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Recently?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Sarah,'she said,'how'd the greenhouse glass get broken?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Say, Fields,'he said,'how long'll it be before you get this thing cleared MURDER IN TEXAS up?
mdp.39015063940244	'Say, Sis, can I go back to the office with you?
mdp.39015063940244	'Say, Sis,'he muttered thickly,'say, what'll you gimme for a clue?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Say, can I, Sis?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Secretary?
mdp.39015063940244	'Shall we go by the Fordmans'now?'
mdp.39015063940244	'She ai n't so smart as she's cracked up to be, is she, Ed?'
mdp.39015063940244	'She got lunch — I mean dinner — for you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'So Mrs. Lawrence was going to break the news to Fordman during her visit here?'
mdp.39015063940244	'So he's been out here?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Statement?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Steichen?
mdp.39015063940244	'Sure you want it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Swear to the fact that Drexell had been with you at least twenty or thirty minutes before the well was shot?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Swear to what?'
mdp.39015063940244	'That countrywoman,'remarked Dick —'what was her name?'
mdp.39015063940244	'That's the first actual link, is n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'The gun was in the basin?'
mdp.39015063940244	'The northeast corner?'
mdp.39015063940244	'The rest?'
mdp.39015063940244	'The sheriff said,"Come on,"an'then he turned'round to us an'says,"Did anybody here see anybody gettin'into or out o'th'Fordman's car?"
mdp.39015063940244	'Then he did speak of it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then it was n't your car that was seen turning into the road up to the Fordman estate at nine o'clock?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then she did n't answer you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then you did n't know for sure when you came home this summer whether they would be married or not?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then you did not see your wife between twelve and one, and she did n't see you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then you do want Dick to come down?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then you think that Mr. Fordman could have been murdered during the fourteen minutes before the explosion?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then you were alone with your wife?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Then?'
mdp.39015063940244	'They did n't decide on Mitch, then?'

mdp.39015063940244	'Was he standing with you when the nitroglycerine exploded in th'well?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Was the engine running when you found the car?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Was the letter gone?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Was there someone with you all of the time?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well — it could n't hurt anything, Joan; but will the local authorities allow him just to sort of take things over?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, Chick,'he said,'can you offer anything?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, I talked with you at the airport at about twelve- thirty, was n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, I wondered,'admitted the woman,'but how could I find out?
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, Mr. Drexell, that covers things so far as the accident is concerned, but I wonder — have you been quite frank with me?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, Mr. Ross, where was you?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, that's somethin't'be thankful for, ai n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Well, what are they doing?'
mdp.39015063940244	'Were n't you surprised when you found that Mrs. Lawrence was considering marriage with Fordman?'
mdp.39015063940244	'What about the clipping and the footprints and the cigarette butts?'
mdp.39015063940244	'What are you- all doing with the ground around the storage tank?'
mdp.39015063940244	'What came out at the second inquest?'
mdp.39015063940244	'What can we do, Joan?

mdp.39015063940244	'You will suspect Ed, wo n't you?'

mdp.39015063940244	An excited voice inquired,'Can you please tell me who won the baseball game between Dallas and Fort Worth?'
mdp.39015063940244	And as to opportunity, where was he when the first shoot- ing was going on?'
mdp.39015063940244	And what could I say to the fine men who are urging me to run for governor?

mdp.39015063940244	Are you working for a paper or not?
mdp.39015063940244	As Joan left, she asked,'Will there be a formal reading of the will today?'
mdp.39015063940244	At least that should go under"Contrary evidence,"should n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	Besides, what good would it do to murder Fordman to avoid the discovery of bank irregularities?
mdp.39015063940244	But you do n't know about the prizes or the refreshments, do you?'

mdp.39015063940244	Dick began to gather up his papers, stopped and said:'How about that chauffeur?
mdp.39015063940244	Dick came over and asked,'Were the lights on when you found that car down the hill?'
mdp.39015063940244	Dick descended from the ladder and said,'Well?'
mdp.39015063940244	Dick said,'But you did n't have your fingers in your ears, did you?'
mdp.39015063940244	Dick said,'But you've never seen this particular clipping?'
mdp.39015063940244	Dick thanked him, and asked,'Why did Mr. Ford- man park inside the rope?'
mdp.39015063940244	Dick, your father has n't died and left you the hats?'

mdp.39015063940244	Did she faint?
mdp.39015063940244	Did you draw his checks and keep the stubs?'
mdp.39015063940244	Did you ever hear anyone in Fordman threaten him?'

mdp.39015063940244	Do you think he'll come?'
mdp.39015063940244	Do you think that I'll be able to get into that house?
mdp.39015063940244	Does all of this have to go in the paper?'
mdp.39015063940244	Does he have much to do with the administration of the estate?
mdp.39015063940244	Does he play bridge?'
mdp.39015063940244	Does that look like an ordinary hoodlum job?

mdp.39015063940244	Drexell?'
mdp.39015063940244	Ed said:'Got your car, Joan?
mdp.39015063940244	Either you or Jimmie?'
mdp.39015063940244	Etta Levy looked at Joan, and said,'How on earth could she come here?'
mdp.39015063940244	Everybody got kind of quiet an'he said, real loud,"Is there a doctor here?"
mdp.39015063940244	Fields asked sharply,'How do you know Frank is with the posse, White?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fields interrupted,'Did Fordman know this?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fields laid the gun aside; then as an afterthought he asked another question,'You did n't,'he said,'remove the magazine, did you?
mdp.39015063940244	Fields laughed and said:'Surely you knew that such a book could never have been published, Mrs. Jones?
mdp.39015063940244	Fields looked at her curiously and asked,'Why do you stay, kid?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fields said,'How about it, Judge?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fields took up the telephone on the desk asking,'What's Sam's number?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fields?'
mdp.39015063940244	Finishing school — abroad — all that?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fiske?'
mdp.39015063940244	For instance, were they smoked by a woman or by a man?'
mdp.39015063940244	For instance, who reached you first, after you screamed?

mdp.39015063940244	Fordman?'
mdp.39015063940244	Fordman?'
mdp.39015063940244	Frank said,'What is it now?'
mdp.39015063940244	Get me?
mdp.39015063940244	Going out to see Marion?'
mdp.39015063940244	Had he passed out or was he ill?
mdp.39015063940244	Have another drink?'
mdp.39015063940244	Have any luck yet finding out if any have re- signed or been fired within the past few years?'
mdp.39015063940244	Have any of the out- of- town men tried to see you yet?'
mdp.39015063940244	Have you been to see Marion?'
mdp.39015063940244	Have you found anything?'
mdp.39015063940244	Have you thought of anything to add to that statement?
mdp.39015063940244	He called me yesterday around lunch time 1'He called you?'
mdp.39015063940244	He finally came over with Mitch and sat down be- side Joan who inquired,'Where's Ed?'
mdp.39015063940244	He had written recently to say that business was going slack again, however, and why the hell did n't she invite him to Texas?
mdp.39015063940244	He jerked his head up and said,'I did n't want to say, but I guess you mean did I telephone anyone?'
mdp.39015063940244	He knowed my husband, Jason, you see, an'he says,"Did n't I hear you say you saw what happened?"
mdp.39015063940244	He left the airport ahead of us, I remember; before twelve- twenty, was n't it?'
mdp.39015063940244	He made some notes, and then asked:'Do they know what size the bullet was that killed Fordman?

mdp.39015063959327	Did Mr. Cartmell bring much luggage with him when he first came to you?
mdp.39015063959327	Did he actually do any business while he was with you?
mdp.39015063959327	Did he happen to tell you the name of his firm?
mdp.39015063959327	Did he pass close to you after he came out?
mdp.39015063959327	Did he receive any letters while he was staying here?
mdp.39015063959327	Did he take his suitcase with him on these occasions?
mdp.39015063959327	Did n't Jimmy tell us that Cartmell's car was driven into the Passway Garage at ten o'clock on Tuesday night and had been there ever since?
mdp.39015063959327	Did n't he behave himself properly then?
mdp.39015063959327	Did you happen to notice if he was carrying anything?
mdp.39015063959327	Did you happen to notice the number of the car?
mdp.39015063959327	Did you see this telegram?
mdp.39015063959327	Do n't you know that you're dead — aye, and buried too?
mdp.39015063959327	Do you remember anything about this car, XYX 1035? mdp.39015063959327 Do you remember what he looked like?"
mdp.39015063959327	Do you remember what the gentleman looked like?
mdp.39015063959327	Do you remember who fetched the car?
mdp.39015063959327	Had any luck so far?
mdp.39015063959327	Had he any one with him?
mdp.39015063959327	Had n't you any money of your own with you, Pantony?
mdp.39015063959327	Hallo, Mr. Ambrose, what's bitten you?
mdp.39015063959327	Hallo, it's you, landlord, is it? mdp.39015063959327 Hallo, sergeant, you have n't found my body lying about anywhere, have you?"
mdp.39015063959327	Has this John Ambrose got a brother- in- law?
mdp.39015063959327	Have you been able to form any opinion as to the cause of the de- ceased's death?
mdp.39015063959327	Have you come to any conclusion as to the part played by Alfred Pantony?
mdp.39015063959327	Have you ever had reason to repent of this decision?
mdp.39015063959327	Have you heard anything from any of your other friends?
mdp.39015063959327	Have you informed Mr. Patton's partner of what has happened?
mdp.39015063959327	He did n't say where it was put away, did he?
mdp.39015063959327	He did n't show any signs of life, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	He dresses rather queerly for a commercial representative, does n't he?
mdp.39015063959327	He has n't got into any trouble?
mdp.39015063959327	He must have told you something about that, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	He never told you where he had been or what he had been doing, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	He used to answer these letters, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	He's never been and bought the thing, surely? mdp.39015063959327 How 220 BODY UNIDENTIFIED did Cartmell convey Patton to Lingby Mill?"
mdp.39015063959327	How am I to recognize Sir Stanislaus?
mdp.39015063959327	How are you getting on with that?
mdp.39015063959327	How did he manage to do that? mdp.39015063959327 How did this passport come into your possession?"
mdp.39015063959327	How did you find out that there was somebody in it, then?
mdp.39015063959327	How does that fit in with the connexion from Brussels?
mdp.39015063959327	How long did it take you to fetch the suitcase?
mdp.39015063959327	How long had he been staying with you before he went?
mdp.39015063959327	How long would it take you to sell all the stones?
mdp.39015063959327	I suppose no one who would correspond with the doctor's very vague description has been missing from these parts lately?
mdp.39015063959327	I suppose there is n't by any chance a photograph of him about the place?
mdp.39015063959327	I think you said that when Gurney reached the boiler this morning, he found the fire still burning?
mdp.39015063959327	I've got it; there's a tap at the bottom of this concern to run the tar off by, is n't there? mdp.39015063959327 If Cartmell was killed during the night of Wednes- day, who sent Pantony that telegram on the following Mon- day?
mdp.39015063959327	If I was to meet that beggar, do you know what I'd do to him?
mdp.39015063959327	In other words, this man Cartmell was Patton's con- federate?
mdp.39015063959327	In the course of your dealings with the firm, did you ever meet Mr. McNaught, the chief clerk, who spoke to you on the telephone this morning?
mdp.39015063959327	Is Mr. Fairfield abroad on business or pleasure?
mdp.39015063959327	Is any one of the name of George Cartmell living in this house?
mdp.39015063959327	Is it not an established fact that the Emperor Paul was insane for some years before his death?
mdp.39015063959327	Is it possible, for instance, that the de- ceased had been dead for a week or more before his body was found?
mdp.39015063959327	Is n't there any way of telling whether he was dead or alive at the time?
mdp.39015063959327	Is the car still here?
mdp.39015063959327	Is there a through carriage from London to Swines- head on that train?
mdp.39015063959327	Is there an undertaker in this village?
mdp.39015063959327	Is there any stop between King's Cross and Grantham?
mdp.39015063959327	Is there much traffic on the road between here and Dim- bury?
mdp.39015063959327	It could n't have been done after the car was brought back here last Tuesday?
mdp.39015063959327	It would n't do them any good, certainly, but would it destroy all trace of them? mdp.39015063959327 M. Baudin probably guessed that the urgent business concerned the Wherwell diamonds?"
mdp.39015063959327	Mr. Cartmell is n't in the habit of spinning yarns like that?
mdp.39015063959327	Mr. Fairfield, I understand, is at present abroad?
mdp.39015063959327	Mr. Patton gave you an opinion in due course, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	Mr. Patton had told you that he intended to spend the night at Holmden Hall? mdp.39015063959327 Mr. Patton rang up from Dunkerque, did he?"
mdp.39015063959327	Mr. Patton was to have stayed with you last night, was n't he?
mdp.39015063959327	No sort of watch is kept over the boiler at night, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063959327	Now exactly what was Fairfield's object in visiting the office? mdp.39015063959327 Now then, what is it that you gentlemen want to know?"
mdp.39015063959327	Now, Mr. Wedgwood, how much do you reckon that he's spent with you since he got the money?
mdp.39015063959327	Oh, he was, was he? mdp.39015063959327 One of your regular customers brought him here, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063959327	Pantony has money of his own, has n't he?
mdp.39015063959327	Shiftiness of manner?
mdp.39015063959327	So that passengers for Swineshead by that train have to wait thirty- four minutes at Grantham? mdp.39015063959327 Some of it has gone in liquor, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	Some- body broken in and pinched the till?
mdp.39015063959327	Somebody got drunk and making trouble?
mdp.39015063959327	Splendid, but do you have to do all that before you part with a vehicle?
mdp.39015063959327	That's how Pantony made his acquaintance, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	The chaps do n't come along till eight o'clock, and I could n't get him out by myself, could I? mdp.39015063959327 The evidence against Patton may be regarded as conclu- sive, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	The prize was a thousand pounds, was n't it?
mdp.39015063959327	Then I suppose you do n't happen to have bought a motor hearse recently?
mdp.39015063959327	Then how do you suggest that Patton got there? mdp.39015063959327 Then how is it that it is still registered in your name?"
mdp.39015063959327	Then why did he leave the station?
mdp.39015063959327	Then why on earth did he give the name of Ambrose, and why did he abandon the hearse outside our friend Wedgwood's front door? mdp.39015063959327 There's nobody called John Ambrose living in the place, of course?"
mdp.39015063959327	They had no difficulty in opening the drawer in which it should have been?
mdp.39015063959327	This is the first time that he has been entrusted with the entire responsibility for what Oldland has called a major case, is it not?
mdp.39015063959327	This was at ten o'clock last Tuesday, August 18th?
mdp.39015063959327	To begin with, how did he know that Golder& Brown had one for sale?
mdp.39015063959327	To begin with, then, have you every confidence in your office staff, and especially in McNaught?
mdp.39015063959327	Under what circumstances were the diamonds brought back from Russia?
mdp.39015063959327	Was Mrs. Ambrose with you all the time?
mdp.39015063959327	Was he alone, or was there any one with him?
mdp.39015063959327	Was he carrying a suitcase as well?
mdp.39015063959327	Was this cushion stained like this when you sold the car?
mdp.39015063959327	Was- your brother- in- law, Alfred Pantony, with you too? mdp.39015063959327 We'd best go round and see what John Ambrose has got to say about it, had n't we?"
mdp.39015063959327	Well, Mr. Ambrose, what do you want me to do about it?
mdp.39015063959327	Well, landlord,he said cheer- fully,"you have n't got rid of this hearse of yours yet, then?"
mdp.39015063959327	Well, what happened when you got to Reading?
mdp.39015063959327	Well, what's all the racket about?
mdp.39015063959327	What I was doing?
mdp.39015063959327	What about his job?
mdp.39015063959327	What about it now, inspector?
mdp.39015063959327	What about the majBdpavid Gurney, who found the body?
mdp.39015063959327	What am I go- ing to do about it? mdp.39015063959327 What are you doing rousing folks out of their beds at this time in the morn- ing?"
mdp.39015063959327	What clothes was he wearing when you saw him off yesterday afternoon?
mdp.39015063959327	What did he do with the letters he received? mdp.39015063959327 What did he say to that?"
mdp.39015063959327	What did he want to wear them great ugly glasses for if it was n't to hide what he was thinking about?
mdp.39015063959327	What did you do when you found that the fire was still burning?
mdp.39015063959327	What do you mean by that exactly, professor?
mdp.39015063959327	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063959327	What does he do for a living?
mdp.39015063959327	What does the law say about it? mdp.39015063959327 What does your time- table suggest?"
mdp.39015063959327	What exactly was the nature of that business, Mr. Fair- field?
mdp.39015063959327	What gives you that impression?
mdp.39015063959327	What guarantee had M. Baudin that it was actually Pat- ton who spoke to him? mdp.39015063959327 What had he to say to M. Baudin when he turned up in Brussels?"
mdp.39015063959327	What hap- pens exactly when the men knock off work for the day?
mdp.39015063959327	What happened then?
mdp.39015063959327	What is it? mdp.39015063959327 What is this man's particular form of extravagance?"
mdp.39015063959327	What is your opinion of Sir Stanislaus Wherwell?
mdp.39015063959327	What made you go off with Cartmell last Tuesday?
mdp.39015063959327	What makes you say that?
mdp.39015063959327	What on earth did he buy it for?
mdp.39015063959327	What on earth made you do that, professor?
mdp.39015063959327	What proof have you that Mr. Patton bolted to France?
mdp.39015063959327	What proportion of the value of the diamonds would you eventually realize?
mdp.39015063959327	What reason had you to expect anything else?
mdp.39015063959327	What sort of a car is it?
mdp.39015063959327	What time did Cartmell fetch his car from Folkestone garage on the sixth?
mdp.39015063959327	What time does it get to London?
mdp.39015063959327	What time does the connecting train reach Brussels?
mdp.39015063959327	What time was it when Cartmell left you at the White Swan?
mdp.39015063959327	What was he wearing when he left here on Tuesday morning?
mdp.39015063959327	What was the light like when you saw this man?
mdp.39015063959327	What would you say, sergeant, if I told you that John Ambrose bought that hearse and that Alfred Pantony paid for it?
mdp.39015063959327	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063959327	What's the surveyor going to say to me when he hears that I've wasted three or four barrels of good tar? mdp.39015063959327 Whatever can have come over him?
mdp.39015063959327	Whatever for?
mdp.39015063959327	Whatever should I think of doing that for, when Joe Purchase is doing the very same thing just across the road? mdp.39015063959327 When and where do you suppose that the murder was committed?"
mdp.39015063959327	When did you first meet?
mdp.39015063959327	When was that?
mdp.39015063959327	When was that?
mdp.39015063959327	Where does Mr. Cartmell keep his car when he's here?
mdp.39015063959327	Where is the car now?
mdp.39015063959327	Where then did he join it? mdp.39015063959327 Where was George while you were buying the hearse?"
mdp.39015063959327	Where would he slip away to?
mdp.39015063959327	Where's he gone to?
mdp.39015063959327	While you remain quietly at Scotland Yard expecting news of Patton?
mdp.39015063959327	Who are the partners?
mdp.39015063959327	Who else could have had an object in telephoning such a message? mdp.39015063959327 Who have you got there?"
mdp.39015063959327	Who is it this time?
mdp.39015063959327	Who says I was cadging for drinks?
mdp.39015063959327	Who withdrew them?
mdp.39015063959327	Why ca n't you leave that old hearse alone, and get on with your work?
mdp.39015063959327	Why did n't he complete his journey as he had arranged with Sir Stanislaus?
mdp.39015063959327	Why did these people come and inspect the diamonds?
mdp.39015063959327	Why is it ridiculous?
mdp.39015063959327	Why should he have done so when his journey would not take him out of England?
mdp.39015063959327	Why, do n't you know?
mdp.39015063959327	Why, he came from London, where else? mdp.39015063959327 Why, mates, whatever's come over you?"
mdp.39015063959327	Why, what have I done, sergeant?
mdp.39015063959327	Why, what on earth can the bicycles have had to do with it?
mdp.39015063959327	Why, what would I be doing but serving in the shop here? mdp.39015063959327 Why, whatever will the inspector say to that?"
mdp.39015063959327	Why, whatever's wrong with you this morning, Sidney?
mdp.39015063959327	Would it be indiscreet, Sir Stanislaus, to ask you why you entrusted the diamonds to the care of Messrs. Patton and Fairfield?
mdp.39015063959327	Would you mind giving me the name and the address 38 BODY UNIDENTIFIED of the purchaser?
mdp.39015063959327	Yes, but why is it that we only get traces of him in pubs and garages?
mdp.39015063959327	Yet Mr. Patton intended to travel alone from King's Cross HANSLET'S CASE 107 to Swineshead?
mdp.39015063959327	You are aware of the object of Mr. Patton's journey?
mdp.39015063959327	You ca n't be certain that the gentleman with the satchel was actually in the train when it went out?
mdp.39015063959327	You did n't happen to look into his suitcase while it was here, did you?
mdp.39015063959327	You did n't happen to notice if they all came from the same place, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	You did n't lift the lid of the boiler and look inside?
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't expect to find a body in it, do you?
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't happen to remember the number by any chance?
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't know what happened to him after he passed the barrier?
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't of course know what happened subsequently?
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't rake out the fire in the evenings when you finish work, then?
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't suppose I did n't think of that, do you?
mdp.39015063959327	You have n't heard from him since he's been away?
mdp.39015063959327	You have n't seen 228 BODY UNIDENTIFIEDAnd he fetched the car again about six o'clock, you say?"
mdp.39015063959327	You knew that the diamonds were then in possession of the firm?
mdp.39015063959327	You know the origin of the Wherwell diamonds, I sup- pose?
mdp.39015063959327	You mean that you backed the wrong horse when you spotted the identity of that corpse of yours, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	You start earlier than the men of your gang, then?
mdp.39015063959327	You'd recognize him if you saw him again, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	You'll manage to find time to dine at Westbourne Ter- race, then?
mdp.39015063959327	You're from the Yard, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	You're not suggesting that Mr. Fairfield rigged himself up as Cartmell, are you? mdp.39015063959327 You've been to Lingby Mill?"
mdp.39015063959327	You've got a visitor of the name of Cartmell staying with you, have n't you?
mdp.39015063959327	'If I may make so bold as to ask you, sir,'I said,'you do n't happen to be looking for a nice room, do you, sir?'
mdp.39015063959327	'You do n't happen to have one to let, do you?'
mdp.39015063959327	120 BODY UNIDENTIFIED What had been his next move?
mdp.39015063959327	4"Do you remember what the driver looked like?"
mdp.39015063959327	88 BODY UNIDENTIFIED"But if Mr. Patton had been commissioned to sell them he would have done so instead of returning them to Sir Stanislaus, surely?"
mdp.39015063959327	92 BODY UNIDENTIFIED"What about the connexion from Grantham to Swines- head?"
mdp.39015063959327	94 BODY UNIDENTIFIED"Was your renewed friendship with Mr. Patton merely a business one?"
mdp.39015063959327	Ambrose?"
mdp.39015063959327	Ambrose?"
mdp.39015063959327	And he saw how he could pinch it for himself, did n't he, now?
mdp.39015063959327	And how else are you going to explain his behaviour?"
mdp.39015063959327	And if Cartmell did n't know about the diamonds, what did he visit the office at all for?
mdp.39015063959327	And then"Who are you?"
mdp.39015063959327	And what had he to show for this?
mdp.39015063959327	And what sort of things were they that you were to look after?"
mdp.39015063959327	And what would he want to go and buy a hearse for?"
mdp.39015063959327	And why, in heaven's name, did he buy two pounds of bullock's liver and make that filthy mess on the seat of his car?"
mdp.39015063959327	And you were the steady chap he'd got his eyes upon, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959327	Anybody hurt?"
mdp.39015063959327	Anything really serious?"
mdp.39015063959327	Are n't any of you chaps glad enough to see me to stand me a pint?"
mdp.39015063959327	Are you in a position to confirm or deny that report?"
mdp.39015063959327	Are you in a position to state that Jones was murdered?
mdp.39015063959327	Assuming that it was Cartmell who called for it, how had he occupied the inter- vening fourteen hours?"
mdp.39015063959327	But I wonder why he did n't go and see this M. Baudin after all?
mdp.39015063959327	But again, how can you prove it?
mdp.39015063959327	But did he stay in England only to watch the developments regarding the diamonds?"
mdp.39015063959327	But how?
mdp.39015063959327	But if you've finished your tea, I dare say you'd like to walk out to the Halfway House and look round?"
mdp.39015063959327	But in that case how to explain the stain on the cushion of that car?
mdp.39015063959327	But in that event how do you account for Patton's bolting to France and lying doggo there all this time?"
mdp.39015063959327	But was it the true reason?
mdp.39015063959327	But what in the name of heaven did it all mean?
mdp.39015063959327	But what would happen to any clothes that body might be wearing?"
mdp.39015063959327	But why should he have done so when his express inten- tion was to travel no further than Holmden Hall and to return next day?
mdp.39015063959327	But, professor, the question still remains, who is this chap who posed as Cartmell?
mdp.39015063959327	By the way, did you find out anything about that gravel in the coffin?"
mdp.39015063959327	Can you offer any explanation of this?"
mdp.39015063959327	Can you suggest any ex- planation of that curious fact?"
mdp.39015063959327	Cartmell?'
mdp.39015063959327	Did George happen to mention tar boilers, by any chance?"
mdp.39015063959327	Did I care for an occasional day with a gun?
mdp.39015063959327	Did I know of anywhere he'd find himself comfort- able?"
mdp.39015063959327	Did he give you any explanation of this?"
mdp.39015063959327	Did he tell you when he expected to return here?"
mdp.39015063959327	Did he walk all that distance carrying a suitcase and a satchel?"
mdp.39015063959327	Did this new fact in any way in- 140 BODY UNIDENTIFIED validate his carefully elaborated theory?
mdp.39015063959327	Do n't think there can be any manner of doubt that it was actually Pantony who bought and paid for the hearse on Tuesday afternoon?
mdp.39015063959327	Do you find anything surprising in his state- ment?"
mdp.39015063959327	Do you not see the DR. PRIESTLEY COMES TO RESCUE 255 significance of this fact?"
mdp.39015063959327	Do you suppose that Cart- mell fetched the car from there, too?"
mdp.39015063959327	Does that not suggest a delay en route or a considerable detour?
mdp.39015063959327	Does that plaguy hearse belong to me or does it not?"
mdp.39015063959327	Does that suggest anything to you, inspector?"
mdp.39015063959327	Fairfield?"
mdp.39015063959327	For if Pantony was not a victim, was there any reason to suppose that Cartmell was a mur- derer?
mdp.39015063959327	From six- two to six thirty- six?"
mdp.39015063959327	HANSLET'S CASE 89"Have you made inquiries there, by any chance?"
mdp.39015063959327	Had Pantony for some inscrutable reason of his own lured Cartmell to destruction?
mdp.39015063959327	Had he, not knowing that blood from various sources can be distin- guished, deliberately attempted to fasten on himself the sus- picion of murder?
mdp.39015063959327	Had his sole object been to possess himself of Pantony's hoard?
mdp.39015063959327	Had the roles of victim and mur- dered been reversed?
mdp.39015063959327	Had this hearse any connexion with the body which had been found in the tar boiler?
mdp.39015063959327	Hallo, who's this coming along the road?
mdp.39015063959327	Has he ever to your knowledge taken any one else out for a run?"
mdp.39015063959327	Has it occurred to you, for instance, that Patton may have a confederate waiting for him at Grantham?
mdp.39015063959327	Have you traced the place of origin of this call?"
mdp.39015063959327	He is supposed to have visited London and various towns in the vicinity of Fallowchurch, is he not?"
mdp.39015063959327	He lives here, does n't he?"
mdp.39015063959327	He must be a pretty conspicuous sort of chap with that lip and ear?"
mdp.39015063959327	How do you explain the hearse business, even supposing that the hearse had nothing whatever to do with the body found by Gurney in the tar boiler?"
mdp.39015063959327	How do you know that it was in Mr. Patton's possession when he started on his journey?"
mdp.39015063959327	How does this possibility appeal to you, superintendent?"
mdp.39015063959327	How far is Lingby Mill from Grantham Station?"
mdp.39015063959327	How far is it by road from Reading to Fallowchurch?"
mdp.39015063959327	How far were you away at the time?"
mdp.39015063959327	How had it come to deposit its blood upon the seat of Cartmell's car?
mdp.39015063959327	How long would it take him to get to Dunkerque from Boulogne?"
mdp.39015063959327	How the deuce was that to be accounted for?
mdp.39015063959327	How was it then that the return half of this ticket had not been surrendered at King's Cross?
mdp.39015063959327	How will that suit you?"
mdp.39015063959327	I dare say you remember that evening, sergeant?"
mdp.39015063959327	I did quite right, did n't I?"
mdp.39015063959327	If he was n't, who in the world told him that there was any likelihood of the diamonds being returned to Holmden Hall?
mdp.39015063959327	If it was confirmed that he had actually left King's Cross by the four o'clock train, what had happened to him subsequently?
mdp.39015063959327	If so, why these daily and sometimes nightly absences?
mdp.39015063959327	Is he badly hurt?"
mdp.39015063959327	Is n't there a garage in the village we could run it into?"
mdp.39015063959327	Is there JIMMY'S CASE 27 anywhere where we can have a cup of tea together, while you tell me this story of yours?"
mdp.39015063959327	Is there any- thing else you want me to do for you, superintendent?"
mdp.39015063959327	Is there anything I can offer you?"
mdp.39015063959327	It's nearly half- past two now and you say that Sir Stanislaus will not arrive at King's Cross before five minutes to six?
mdp.39015063959327	JIMMY GETS A SHOCK 153"Did n't Cartmell tell you anything about himself?
mdp.39015063959327	Lovely morning, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959327	McNaught?"
mdp.39015063959327	McNaught?"
mdp.39015063959327	McNaught?"
mdp.39015063959327	Mr. Cart- mell had come back by train, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	Now, in- spector, at what time was Cartmell last seen in Folkestone on the 5th?"
mdp.39015063959327	Now, why do you suppose, sergeant, that they took it into their heads to dump it outside the Green Bear at Fal- lowchurch?"
mdp.39015063959327	Oh, you mean that hearse standing outside?
mdp.39015063959327	Or had Cartmell as a grim climax to his practical joke, plunged naked into the tar boiler after leaving the hearse outside the Green Bear?
mdp.39015063959327	Or was it possible that he really had a cousin who was an undertaker, and a Siamese cat which could eat nothing but bullock's liver?
mdp.39015063959327	Or was this another of Cartmell's practical jokes?
mdp.39015063959327	Patton?"
mdp.39015063959327	Patton?"
mdp.39015063959327	Perhaps you know how some people behave in a pawnbroker's shop?
mdp.39015063959327	See?"
mdp.39015063959327	Shall I slip in and ask him to send a chap round to drive it there?"
mdp.39015063959327	Sir Stanislaus did not enlighten you on that point, I suppose, superintendent?"
mdp.39015063959327	So this hearse of ours belongs to a firm of funeral furnishers, does it?
mdp.39015063959327	Some- body's got to get the fire started so that the tar will be boiling by the time the men come to work, have n't they?"
mdp.39015063959327	Surely one would have expected him to devote his time to cultivating Pantony's acquaintance?
mdp.39015063959327	Tear them up and throw them away or what?"
mdp.39015063959327	That's only natural, is n't it?
mdp.39015063959327	The point is, what are we going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063959327	Then again, why had Cartmell been so criminally careless about the blood on the seat?
mdp.39015063959327	There's no telling what he might have been up to when he was n't here, is there?"
mdp.39015063959327	Those were his very words, were n't they, Sidney?"
mdp.39015063959327	To begin with, can you tell me what you were doing about mid- day on Wednesday, the day before yesterday?"
mdp.39015063959327	Was it by any chance Cartmell's?
mdp.39015063959327	Was it possible that Patton and Wherwell had entered into a conspiracy?
mdp.39015063959327	Was the man a lunatic, whose mania was meaningless practi- cal jokes?
mdp.39015063959327	Was this merely another practical joke on his part, or was it part of an elaborate scheme?
mdp.39015063959327	Wedgwood?"
mdp.39015063959327	Wedgwood?"
mdp.39015063959327	Wedgwood?"

mdp.39015063959327	Wedgwood?"
mdp.39015063959327	Were the police not yet ready with evidence which would enable the jury to return a verdict?
mdp.39015063959327	Were they on the premises the whole of that time?"
mdp.39015063959327	What I want to know is how can the County Council say that it belongs to me when I do n't know anything about it?"
mdp.39015063959327	What JIMMY GETS A SHOCK 1S1 was that for?"
mdp.39015063959327	What about it?"
mdp.39015063959327	What are your own plans, Sir Stanislaus?"
mdp.39015063959327	What became of Mr. Patton during the hour immediately following his surrender of the outward half of his ticket?"
mdp.39015063959327	What did you do then?"
mdp.39015063959327	What do you have to do when you sell any sort of motor vehicle to any one else?"
mdp.39015063959327	What do you say, Priestley?"
mdp.39015063959327	What had brought him to the Green Bear in the first place?
mdp.39015063959327	What had happened between four o'clock and ten o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th, when Cartmell appeared at the Passway Garage?
mdp.39015063959327	What have you got to say about that, Jimmy?"
mdp.39015063959327	What is the routine in the case of this one exactly?"
mdp.39015063959327	What made George Cartmell so anxious for your com- pany?"

mdp.39015063959327	What would he want to do such a thing for?"
mdp.39015063959327	What's a hearse, or a coffin for that matter, to make all that fuss about?
mdp.39015063959327	What's it going to be?'
mdp.39015063959327	When is the next train to London?"
mdp.39015063959327	Where did he come from, and what was his business?"
mdp.39015063959327	Where he lives and so forth?"
mdp.39015063959327	Where the dickens are you off to in such a hurry?"
mdp.39015063959327	Where was his own car during the time he was driving the hearse?"

mdp.39015063959327	Who visited the premises of Messrs. Patton and Fairfield during the days preceding Pat- ton's journey?
mdp.39015063959327	Why did he dump Pantony at Shipsfield?
mdp.39015063959327	Why did he send his chauffeur to meet Patton that night at Swineshead Station instead of going himself?
mdp.39015063959327	Why do you want to know about the people who came to see Patton last week?"
mdp.39015063959327	Why, after sending him a wire that he'd meet him here last Monday, did he never turn up?
mdp.39015063959327	Why, if Cartmell's purpose was murder, had he burdened himself with such a conspicuous companion as Pantony?

mdp.39015063959327	You are personally acquainted with him, Mr. Fairfield, I believe?"
mdp.39015063959327	You ca n't tell me anything about the person who took it away, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	You do n't mind if I keep this passport for a bit, do you?"
mdp.39015063959327	You have n't any other startling disclosure to make, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	You say you know what a tar boiler looks like?
mdp.39015063959327	You think, then, that the deceased can not have died earlier than Tuesday morning?"
mdp.39015063959327	You will let me know when he arrives?
mdp.39015063959327	You will notify the cor- oner, I dare say?"
mdp.39015063959327	You wo n't mind if I begin by asking a lot of questions, I hope?"
mdp.39015063959327	You'll take the necessary steps, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	You're not going to suggest that M. Baudin is also in the plot, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959327	You're not suggesting that he looked in merely on the chance of picking up information which might be valu- able to him?"
mdp.39015063959327	Your sug- gestion that it was his body that was found in the tar boiler seems to put Sir Stanislaus out of the picture, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063959327	“ I wonder what exactly you define as triviality, superintendent? ”.

mdp.39015063554045	Ai n't it a strange thing, Pete? mdp.39015063554045 All you have to be careful of when you clean — What's your name?

mdp.39015063554045	Have I been talking in my sleep?
mdp.39015063554045	Have n't you any impression of the man you fought with all the way out to the front entrance? mdp.39015063554045 Have n't you?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have you any idea who Number One was?
mdp.39015063554045	Have you been standing there by the door waiting for me all the time?
mdp.39015063554045	Have you read this account of him?
mdp.39015063554045	Have you really a case against him?
mdp.39015063554045	He is n't over there now, is he? ”I don'think so.
mdp.39015063554045	He lives on the top floor, does he?
mdp.39015063554045	He'd be just the man to pull the counterfeit stunt — but this other thing, Pete? mdp.39015063554045 He's not serious, is he, Captain Kerrigan?"
mdp.39015063554045	He's the Manager?
mdp.39015063554045	How about it, George?
mdp.39015063554045	How about you, Wig- gar?
mdp.39015063554045	How are you, my dear?
mdp.39015063554045	How can I guess? mdp.39015063554045 How can we be certain — of 82 C o unt erf eit anything?
mdp.39015063554045	How did the glass get on that side of it?
mdp.39015063554045	How do we know that?
mdp.39015063554045	How do you do, my dear?
mdp.39015063554045	How do you know he is?
mdp.39015063554045	How do you know there ai n't some plot — some devil's work afoot? mdp.39015063554045 How do you mean?"
mdp.39015063554045	How do you pick the right crook in a line- up?
mdp.39015063554045	How long were you out there in the yard?
mdp.39015063554045	How the deuce do you know?
mdp.39015063554045	How the devil did it get there? ” Kerrigan's glance sharpened still more. mdp.39015063554045 How the devil do you suppose tellers in banks get to know the feel of this sort of paper from other kinds?"
mdp.39015063554045	How was you after guessing that? mdp.39015063554045 How would that be after helping the old gent on his way?
mdp.39015063554045	Hum?
mdp.39015063554045	I do n't remember telling you-"What? ” Kerrigan asked eagerly. mdp.39015063554045 I meant, sir, is it going to be necessary for Mr. Peter to carry on in this most unpleasant and inappro- priate guise?"
mdp.39015063554045	I remember that perfectly, do n't you, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	I say, Mister,bellowed the taxi- man,"d'you belong to this here joint?"
mdp.39015063554045	I suppose Mr. Etherington knew of Rosen's jealousy?
mdp.39015063554045	I — I do n't know,she hesitated, but went on quickly"This would be Number One West Twenty- ninth Street, would n't it?
mdp.39015063554045	If I leave you for a minute, will you give me your word of honor that you wo n't touch any of this broken junk?
mdp.39015063554045	If it dropped from his hand — even if it rolled — how could it have rolled over that thick fold?
mdp.39015063554045	If it had been around here — or in the coals — do you think you would have noticed it?
mdp.39015063554045	In case it does n't pan out right to go the round- about way, Pete, you can come in the regular entrance and who's going to think anything about it?
mdp.39015063554045	In the meantime,said Kerrigan, pushing back his chair,"what'syour hunch?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is Ingalls supposed to know anything about this counter- feit?
mdp.39015063554045	Is his first name George?
mdp.39015063554045	Is it some kind of a racket? mdp.39015063554045 Is it your wish that I should start cleaning up in here, Terry?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is it yourself, Mr. Ingalls, and are you going calling on the young lady again this morning?
mdp.39015063554045	Is n't Mr. Etherington pretty good, too?
mdp.39015063554045	Is n't he the forehanded lad and no mistake? mdp.39015063554045 Is that the place?
mdp.39015063554045	Is there anything more, Captain?
mdp.39015063554045	It embarrassed him, do n't you see? mdp.39015063554045 It never occurred to you that the Secret Service might object?"
mdp.39015063554045	It was as far in as that?
mdp.39015063554045	It was mashed like this when you first saw it?
mdp.39015063554045	It was pretty well upset, was n't it? mdp.39015063554045 It's about a job Mr. Etherington's working on?"
mdp.39015063554045	It's only as a private individual and through your social connections"Meaning you and Terry?
mdp.39015063554045	It's the highest thing you can get up on in that sawed- off city, is n't it?
mdp.39015063554045	It's your idea that the bills are made under cover in some legitimate place, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	Keep away from that bath"Bath, is it?
mdp.39015063554045	Kerrigan?
mdp.39015063554045	Kind of careless not to step out to a pay booth, was n't it, Jake? mdp.39015063554045 Last Thursday?
mdp.39015063554045	May I have the facts then?
mdp.39015063554045	May I see it?
mdp.39015063554045	Might I mention a small matter that may possibly be of interest at this junc- ture?
mdp.39015063554045	Mr. Etherington, sir?
mdp.39015063554045	My lord, Pete, did you guess? mdp.39015063554045 No ashes there in the corner?"
mdp.39015063554045	No? mdp.39015063554045 No?"
mdp.39015063554045	Northwick, you have a car here? mdp.39015063554045 Not John P.?"
mdp.39015063554045	Not even to Harden?
mdp.39015063554045	Not his family? mdp.39015063554045 Not related, though?"
mdp.39015063554045	O. K. by you, Terry?
mdp.39015063554045	Of what, sir?
mdp.39015063554045	Oh, that?
mdp.39015063554045	Oh, you do?
mdp.39015063554045	Oh,said Rosen,"will he?
mdp.39015063554045	Oh,she said, on seeing Peter,"What do you want, young man?"
mdp.39015063554045	Or is there any way you could find out if this is the right place?
mdp.39015063554045	Pardon me, Mr. Ingalls, but what is this Rockland matter you speak of? mdp.39015063554045 Personally?
mdp.39015063554045	Portraits?
mdp.39015063554045	Ray does write a nice clear hand, does n't he? mdp.39015063554045 Ray seemed sure he was dealing with a well- organized gang — about those hundred dollar bills, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063554045	Sam's out, is n't he, Marie?
mdp.39015063554045	Sam?
mdp.39015063554045	Scal- ing the which sir?
mdp.39015063554045	See? mdp.39015063554045 Shall I come with you, sir?"
mdp.39015063554045	Shall I come with you?
mdp.39015063554045	Shall I go to see Harden or not?
mdp.39015063554045	Shall I take it?
mdp.39015063554045	Sharing whom? mdp.39015063554045 She's a friend of yours, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554045	Since when?
mdp.39015063554045	So I believed; and I asked myself who was it, then, that had phoned from your number? mdp.39015063554045 So it's Terence has been taking his crazy ideas to the police, is it?"
mdp.39015063554045	So you passed all this up, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	Someone went in and you never peeped?
mdp.39015063554045	Something you'd forgotten?
mdp.39015063554045	Something — or somebody?
mdp.39015063554045	Specified the name of the paper concern and the name of the catalogue?
mdp.39015063554045	Step on it? mdp.39015063554045 Still harping on that queer idea of yours that those two telegrams were not bona fide, Captain?"
mdp.39015063554045	Still trying to find Dick Jarvis'people?
mdp.39015063554045	Supposing you two gentlemen had been away, who else in the place would have known the details of this particular piece of work?
mdp.39015063554045	Sure?
mdp.39015063554045	Take care of these, will you?
mdp.39015063554045	Tell me who you are and what you want?
mdp.39015063554045	That he might have burned in the furnace? mdp.39015063554045 That would n't be the Mr. Thomas Etherington I used to know?"
mdp.39015063554045	The hour? mdp.39015063554045 The janitor at your place left suddenly?"
mdp.39015063554045	The pictures would have been taken perhaps ten days C o tint er f eit 283 ago?
mdp.39015063554045	The secretary, I think you said? mdp.39015063554045 Then how do you figure that the pencil case came there, Sheehan?"
mdp.39015063554045	Then what do you hope to find when you see Terry's furnace room to- morrow, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	Then who was it? mdp.39015063554045 Then will you promise me something?"
mdp.39015063554045	Then you've seen a man dressed like that?
mdp.39015063554045	Then, do n't you see Ingalls ca n't possibly afford to let anyone suspect that he knows the least thing about it?
mdp.39015063554045	There's something new, sir?
mdp.39015063554045	They came out of that dark building together — and you did n't think it worth mentioning? mdp.39015063554045 They could do without me well enough,"he finished,"but it was rather nice of the boy to pretend they could n't, was n't it?
mdp.39015063554045	They were of importance, then?
mdp.39015063554045	To whom?
mdp.39015063554045	Trying to use up the fifty words, like eating something to save it? mdp.39015063554045 Two people, then, being in the picture, who must the other one be?
mdp.39015063554045	Was he an old chap with white hair?
mdp.39015063554045	Was it you, Olmstead, that led me on that wild goose chase last Thurs- day night?
mdp.39015063554045	Was n't it, Olmstead?
mdp.39015063554045	Was she properly dressed?
mdp.39015063554045	Was the old man there this morning?
mdp.39015063554045	Was this, too, turned out and ransacked?
mdp.39015063554045	Well,urged Peter,"if you wo n't let me go up and phone, Sam, wo n't you do it for me?
mdp.39015063554045	Well?
mdp.39015063554045	Were the locks broken?
mdp.39015063554045	Were they a fake?
mdp.39015063554045	Were you thinking of coming, too?
mdp.39015063554045	Western Union? mdp.39015063554045 Western Union?"
mdp.39015063554045	What I want to know, Mr. Clancy, sir,he said in a low hissing voice,"is did Mr. Jack ever get to St. Louis?
mdp.39015063554045	What about the drafts?
mdp.39015063554045	What are you saying, Pete? mdp.39015063554045 What d'you make of it, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554045	What do you make of those two telegrams, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	What do you mean by that, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	What do you mean by that, sir?
mdp.39015063554045	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063554045	What do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063554045	What do you really think, George?
mdp.39015063554045	What does he mean by statuary?
mdp.39015063554045	What does? mdp.39015063554045 What floors have you?"
mdp.39015063554045	What happened in the restaurant this noon after I left, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	What is it that strikes you as unusual?
mdp.39015063554045	What is it they say now? mdp.39015063554045 What is it, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	What is it, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	What is it, Uncle Nat? ” she cried, suddenly clasping her hands together. mdp.39015063554045 What is it?"
mdp.39015063554045	What kind of a party are you planning to throw, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	What kind of a place you looking for, Miss? mdp.39015063554045 What kind of thing, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554045	What of it?
mdp.39015063554045	What personal reason could you possibly have, Cap- tain?
mdp.39015063554045	What the deuce is he going to do now?
mdp.39015063554045	What the heck is he getting at with that'accent'stuff?
mdp.39015063554045	What was the message about?
mdp.39015063554045	What would you think? mdp.39015063554045 What — what do you mean, breaking into a man's house like this?"
mdp.39015063554045	What's hindering you? mdp.39015063554045 What's in your mind?"
mdp.39015063554045	What's it mean in English?
mdp.39015063554045	What's queer about that?
mdp.39015063554045	What's up? mdp.39015063554045 What?
mdp.39015063554045	What? mdp.39015063554045 What?"
mdp.39015063554045	What?
mdp.39015063554045	What?
mdp.39015063554045	When do you suppose this was taken, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	When was this?
mdp.39015063554045	When you were sweeping up? mdp.39015063554045 Where are you going, Jake, in such a hurry?"
mdp.39015063554045	Where did Miss Ashton put it, George? mdp.39015063554045 Where do I come in on what?"
mdp.39015063554045	Where do you come in on this?
mdp.39015063554045	Where's Clancy?
mdp.39015063554045	Where've you been keeping yourself? mdp.39015063554045 Which one of the bosses was it, eh?"
mdp.39015063554045	Who do you think could have done the rest of the work, Etherington? mdp.39015063554045 Who is it, Marie?"
mdp.39015063554045	Who is she?
mdp.39015063554045	Who received the messages, Terence? mdp.39015063554045 Who's that coming?"
mdp.39015063554045	Who's that?
mdp.39015063554045	Who's this fellow? mdp.39015063554045 Who?
mdp.39015063554045	Why Friday?
mdp.39015063554045	Why did you think he was going to be away?
mdp.39015063554045	Why do n't you tell him, Barry?
mdp.39015063554045	Why do you say'young'?
mdp.39015063554045	Why does he?
mdp.39015063554045	Why does that name ring a bell with you?
mdp.39015063554045	Why should Mr. Etherington have staged that disagree- ment with Miss Lamont, unless he was hiding something from her? mdp.39015063554045 Why should he do a thing like that?"
mdp.39015063554045	Why the past tense? mdp.39015063554045 Why?"
mdp.39015063554045	Why?
mdp.39015063554045	Wiggar? mdp.39015063554045 Will he be as good a boss as the young gents down- stairs?"
mdp.39015063554045	Will you be busy? mdp.39015063554045 Will you tell me why you were here so late to- night, waiting in the dark?"
mdp.39015063554045	Without a signature?
mdp.39015063554045	Would I be handling one hundred dollar notes and never notice?
mdp.39015063554045	Would n't it be easy to suppose that it would speed up action in the courts?
mdp.39015063554045	Would n't it seem probable, since they're so good that 208 Counterfeit only an expert can detect the fraud? mdp.39015063554045 Would n't one name have been enough for you to under- stand what was wanted?"
mdp.39015063554045	Would n't you like to walk around a bit?
mdp.39015063554045	Would you know if it had been out of order lately?
mdp.39015063554045	Would you let me? mdp.39015063554045 Would you like to know her name?"
mdp.39015063554045	Yeah? ” Peter drawled the mocking colloquialism. mdp.39015063554045 Yes?"
mdp.39015063554045	Yes?
mdp.39015063554045	You are glad I came, Uncle Nat?
mdp.39015063554045	You began to suspect last night, Jake, when Sheehan was going over his story, that those two wires might not have been real, did n't you?
mdp.39015063554045	You did n't see the old man go in?
mdp.39015063554045	You did n't tell them the long sad tale then?
mdp.39015063554045	You do n't miss much, do you, Pete?
mdp.39015063554045	You feel that you are at the bottom of this horrible trouble, Clancy?
mdp.39015063554045	You know how the bottom door of a furnace extends out onto the floor, sir?
mdp.39015063554045	You know, or are fairly certain who passed you that counterfeit bill, are n't you?
mdp.39015063554045	You mean Etherington? mdp.39015063554045 You mean I'm under arrest?"
mdp.39015063554045	You mean Olmstead did this?
mdp.39015063554045	You mean counterfeits? mdp.39015063554045 You mean he comes over here and stays sometimes?"
mdp.39015063554045	You mean you do n't believe you were spotted in your wild goose chase last Thursday night?
mdp.39015063554045	You mean you want me to live with her?
mdp.39015063554045	You saw a good deal of him?
mdp.39015063554045	You say the messages were important and you imply that you do n't mean to tell me what they were about?
mdp.39015063554045	You see?
mdp.39015063554045	You think it an advantage for me to be with you, Clancy?
mdp.39015063554045	You think that do you?
mdp.39015063554045	You told her she was old- fashioned and provincial not to take that frock and the wrap, George?
mdp.39015063554045	You want I should drive in?
mdp.39015063554045	You were going to give her a lift, Barry?
mdp.39015063554045	You work for him?
mdp.39015063554045	You'd better do what Mr. Clancy says and keep everything you've told us under your own lid, see? mdp.39015063554045 You'd hate it?"
mdp.39015063554045	You're all alone?
mdp.39015063554045	You're all through sweeping, are n't you? mdp.39015063554045 You're mighty peart this morning, are n't you, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554045	You're not hurt? mdp.39015063554045 You're not really going through with it, sir?"
mdp.39015063554045	You're sure you're not hurt?
mdp.39015063554045	You've been hearing queer noises for some time past, have n't you?
mdp.39015063554045	You've got news, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	Young lady?
mdp.39015063554045	's expressed wishes?

mdp.39015063554045	Abraham Lincoln — and Franklin, too, Jake?"
mdp.39015063554045	After a minute Harden said, rather diffidently:"Do you think your uncle would mind if you went to the theatre with me again some night this week?
mdp.39015063554045	After all, what did the girl matter?
mdp.39015063554045	After what I'd told you?"
mdp.39015063554045	Ai n't a thought just as good a fact as the big foot that you're always putting into the middle of an argument?
mdp.39015063554045	Almost unforgivable?
mdp.39015063554045	Also, where is the bottle?
mdp.39015063554045	Am I right in supposing this was the room?
mdp.39015063554045	Am I right?"
mdp.39015063554045	An answer to prayer, what ho?
mdp.39015063554045	And I ask you, sir, how that much fine silver got into my furnace?"
mdp.39015063554045	And I was so glad I — I""Was it delivered by hand, or did it come over the wire?"
mdp.39015063554045	And above all, who would tell him?
mdp.39015063554045	And do n't I get fifteen bucks a week, carefully counted?
mdp.39015063554045	And do you come here, too?"
mdp.39015063554045	And farther away?
mdp.39015063554045	And how and why and when did he leave his office that night?
mdp.39015063554045	And if he had had the power, would he have had the will?
mdp.39015063554045	And putting that with Terry's story, that I happened to know about""Happened?"
mdp.39015063554045	And shall we say Thursday?"
mdp.39015063554045	And that desk in the window was his?"
mdp.39015063554045	And that glass lying there, right where he dropped it?"
mdp.39015063554045	And that trip to St. Louis""Whatever are you talking about, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	And there were-buttons! ” CHAPTER XXIX rOU MEAN,"cried Olmstead, starting forward,"you mean you can prove that it was n't Barry?"
mdp.39015063554045	And there's a con- nection at the back you say, Sheehan?
mdp.39015063554045	And were some of the evil brood already hatched?
mdp.39015063554045	And what is he doing here?"
mdp.39015063554045	And what kind of dessert will you have?
mdp.39015063554045	And who else knows about the things he speaks of?
mdp.39015063554045	And why was it mentioned?
mdp.39015063554045	And you?"
mdp.39015063554045	And, worst of all anxieties, how long would his vigil last, and what would he do when it was over?
mdp.39015063554045	Any reason?"
mdp.39015063554045	Anything new in your line this morn- ing, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554045	Anything?
mdp.39015063554045	Are you feeling differently about her now?"
mdp.39015063554045	Are you game to help?"
mdp.39015063554045	Are you telling me?"
mdp.39015063554045	As she handed Marie the toast Miss Kinsella asked,"What can we think of to amuse you to- day, my dear?
mdp.39015063554045	But how do they know?
mdp.39015063554045	But how it come there?
mdp.39015063554045	But if it ai n't a graveyard, then what t'ell is it?"
mdp.39015063554045	But supposing the motive was, after all, not greed — but fear?
mdp.39015063554045	But what I'd like to know right now, Jake, is, who suggested it?
mdp.39015063554045	But why go down into an unfamiliar region to get what would be ready to his hand on the sideboard in the Counterfeit 311 dining- room back there?
mdp.39015063554045	But why should he have all the finest work that comes into the shop?
mdp.39015063554045	But you didn'^ go off, as it happened?"
mdp.39015063554045	By the way, Barry, before you go back to the shop — you'll excuse me, my dear?"
mdp.39015063554045	By the way,"there was a change from silk to metal,"what brings you down here at this hour, Barry?

mdp.39015063554045	Can you tell me?"
mdp.39015063554045	Clancy?"

mdp.39015063554045	Could I come along?"
mdp.39015063554045	Could I see that?"

mdp.39015063554045	Did n't you?"
mdp.39015063554045	Did you never suspect it?

mdp.39015063554045	Did you see last Sunday's Meteor?
mdp.39015063554045	Did you think of it?"
mdp.39015063554045	Do n't you grasp the situation?
mdp.39015063554045	Do n't you see Ingalls would n't have done away with himself?
mdp.39015063554045	Do n't you see?"

mdp.39015063554045	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015063554045	Does n't Wiggar always look far more priceless than I do, Jake?"
mdp.39015063554045	Does that mean Rockland?"
mdp.39015063554045	Does that mean he's spotted some of the counterfeiting gang, or only that he's coralled more of the bogus bills?"

mdp.39015063554045	Exactly what is it you want to know?"
mdp.39015063554045	First name began with S. What was the name of the Van Zandt heir- ess?
mdp.39015063554045	For one thing, you see those awfully involved fine line waves and curly- ques that fill up the ends and corners and what not on your bill there?
mdp.39015063554045	For the obvious reason of having it duplicated in time to meet Rockland's wishes?
mdp.39015063554045	For where is the darkest spot except, as the proverb has it, di- rectly under the candle?
mdp.39015063554045	Go right on with your work — uh — is your name Pat?
mdp.39015063554045	Had it something to do with Ingalls?
mdp.39015063554045	Had the old engraver been so busy that he was rude to his charming niece?
mdp.39015063554045	Harden said:"Was that supposed to be some kind of a test, your passing that bill out to me, Uncle Nat?
mdp.39015063554045	Harden?"
mdp.39015063554045	Harden?"
mdp.39015063554045	Harden?"
mdp.39015063554045	Has it never entered your careless head that this time he might have left his address — with someone else?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have n't you guessed that?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have you any special objec- tion to the young lady herself?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have you fell out?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have you found out something new?
mdp.39015063554045	Have you had something to eat?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have you matches?"
mdp.39015063554045	Have you seen the paper?"
mdp.39015063554045	Having finished what he had to do on that floor, Peter 148 C o unt er f eit Rivals?
mdp.39015063554045	He heard Ingalls say,"What?"
mdp.39015063554045	He only"Harden began impulsively, but ended rather flatly,"What adventure do you mean?"
mdp.39015063554045	He says, just like I'm telling you,'Terry,'he said,'can you carry on until I get back, or shall I get Mr. Ingalls to hire a new janitor?'
mdp.39015063554045	His lawyer?"
mdp.39015063554045	How about endive and roquefort?
mdp.39015063554045	How could he have had the heart to stage a row with his little niece at just this point in the game?
mdp.39015063554045	How could it of come there, Mr. Clancy?
mdp.39015063554045	How did he know?
mdp.39015063554045	How did that round, light spot get there?
mdp.39015063554045	How do I find my way in?"
mdp.39015063554045	How do we know it was n't the same message?
mdp.39015063554045	How do you account for that?"
mdp.39015063554045	How does Mr. Clancy get in, Terry?"
mdp.39015063554045	How missing?
mdp.39015063554045	How often must I tell you so?
mdp.39015063554045	How to equalize — and yet obey instruc- tions to the letter?
mdp.39015063554045	I ai n't afraid to deliver the goods and see does they like the way the likker tastes before I get me pay, see?
mdp.39015063554045	I can see that, ca n't you, Terry?"
mdp.39015063554045	I could n't make that name up, could I?
mdp.39015063554045	I suppose you'll start your inquiries here, in Olmstead's office?"
mdp.39015063554045	I'd had to go and get somebody to fix it, would n't I?
mdp.39015063554045	I've had my shell- like ear — What did you say, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	If Harden noticed it he only smiled and said,"Free, white and twenty- one?
mdp.39015063554045	If I were So- and- so, with his knowledge and his limitations, what would I do under these conditions?
mdp.39015063554045	If I'd been in the Secret Service like you, and Pete, too, at the time instead of on the Force""Wo n't you ever stop grouching about that, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	If a thing is n't in a place, how do vou know it had ought to be, when maybe you never knew it was there in the first place at all?
mdp.39015063554045	If he wants a cab, you're out of commission, see?
mdp.39015063554045	If he was in such a hurry, why not take a taxi?
mdp.39015063554045	If he were allowed to remain, what would that mean?
mdp.39015063554045	If he'd realized what he was doing, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	If the fire was so hot would n't you have shut it down?"
mdp.39015063554045	If the person who had engraved that plate had known that CHAPTER XI j^\lD MR. ETHERINGTON just pass through this m M way?"
mdp.39015063554045	If we could find that?
mdp.39015063554045	In Mr. Olmstead's office?
mdp.39015063554045	In a place where Ingalls could never have dropped it himself?
mdp.39015063554045	In the coals?
mdp.39015063554045	Ingalls?"
mdp.39015063554045	Involving whom?
mdp.39015063554045	Is it a pitchure of somebody, now?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is it an- other of your hunches? ” “ Maybe.
mdp.39015063554045	Is it possible that you never suspected Ingalls, sir?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is n't it?
mdp.39015063554045	Is n't that egotism for you?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is that it?
mdp.39015063554045	Is that right, Miss Marie Lamont?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is that what you meant?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is this the girl young Harden's trotting around with?"
mdp.39015063554045	Is — have I chosen an inconvenient time?"
mdp.39015063554045	It is all right, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	It was better after we made two rooms for them""At Rosen's request?"
mdp.39015063554045	It was yours, Northwick, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	It would be filed with the Rockland stuff in your room, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	It's for the crime of counter- feiting I'm going to arrest you, Mr. John Oliver Olmstead, and what have you to say to that?"
mdp.39015063554045	It's simpler for an official""To what?"
mdp.39015063554045	Jack's?"
mdp.39015063554045	Jack?'
mdp.39015063554045	Just?
mdp.39015063554045	Kerrigan thought: Is the old fellow tipping him off what line to take?
mdp.39015063554045	Lights, or anything like that?"
mdp.39015063554045	Lost, strayed or stolen?
mdp.39015063554045	Maybe- Look,"he whispered as their heads rose above the third floor level—"Is that his door?
mdp.39015063554045	Mr. Ingalls said—'What?
mdp.39015063554045	My heavens, do I have to go into a huddle with half New York here in this open hall?"
mdp.39015063554045	N.?"
mdp.39015063554045	No?
mdp.39015063554045	No?
mdp.39015063554045	None of you — None of you —""You mean this?"
mdp.39015063554045	Nothing apparently — and yet — Was n't there a stealthy, sliding, creeping sound just above his head?
mdp.39015063554045	Now as to the job for J. P. Junior, it's not likely I'll have to mention it, but why should n't I?
mdp.39015063554045	Of what?
mdp.39015063554045	Of what?"
mdp.39015063554045	Oh, Miss Fanny, could I help you?
mdp.39015063554045	Oh, would you mind?
mdp.39015063554045	Old Cornelius?
mdp.39015063554045	Olmstead?"
mdp.39015063554045	Olmstead?"
mdp.39015063554045	Or Harden... or her uncle?
mdp.39015063554045	Or any morning since?"
mdp.39015063554045	Or because it gave authoritative reason for supposing that John Oliver Olmstead actually did send it?
mdp.39015063554045	Or for the Bank?"
mdp.39015063554045	Or in the front part of the loft?
mdp.39015063554045	Or was Harden just possibly staging a diversion?
mdp.39015063554045	Or were they sometimes made from copper?
mdp.39015063554045	Or, Jake, to throw a scare into the crooks that had made such dangerous use of the vanished plate?"
mdp.39015063554045	Oyster shell?
mdp.39015063554045	Pat?
mdp.39015063554045	Perhaps in his kitchen?
mdp.39015063554045	Peter said quietly: “ You found nothing but this bit of bone""You think it is bone, sir? ” Sheehan interrupted.
mdp.39015063554045	Peter waited for him to finish the sentence, but as he re- mained silent Peter said:"Mr. Northwick did n't tell you of his adventure, then?"
mdp.39015063554045	Probably Ingalls would not pin his new stenographer down too closely in the matter of hours, and as for Ether- ington?
mdp.39015063554045	Say, lad, what did you find out yourself?"
mdp.39015063554045	See?
mdp.39015063554045	See?
mdp.39015063554045	See?
mdp.39015063554045	See?
mdp.39015063554045	See?"
mdp.39015063554045	Sha n't I see him and put him wise about showing you the way in?"
mdp.39015063554045	Shall I take you somewhere else?"
mdp.39015063554045	Shall we follow him?"
mdp.39015063554045	Should n't we stop him?
mdp.39015063554045	Some- thing it'll ease your conscience to lay before the police — vol- untarily?"
mdp.39015063554045	Something im- portant?"
mdp.39015063554045	Spoil your good little pencil, sir?"
mdp.39015063554045	Sylvia?
mdp.39015063554045	That Etherington had not mentioned his suspicions to anyone?
mdp.39015063554045	That I had those wires phoned in?
mdp.39015063554045	That she was gamb- ling heavily?"
mdp.39015063554045	That was the reason you were annoyed, was n't it?
mdp.39015063554045	That's Etherington's work, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	That's her again, see?
mdp.39015063554045	That's right, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	That's very dear of her, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	That's what you told me, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063554045	The Metropolitan Museum?
mdp.39015063554045	The nineteenth?"
mdp.39015063554045	The one that looks out for you?"
mdp.39015063554045	The one that the cyanide must have been in?"
mdp.39015063554045	The ques- tion then was, would she recognize him?
mdp.39015063554045	Then why""Do you think,"said Peter slowly,"supposing Olmstead — shall we say never turns up, it would help in the presump- tion of death?"
mdp.39015063554045	There's a record of that?"
mdp.39015063554045	Things that might be rubbed or scratched, or maybe might be wet or something, see?
mdp.39015063554045	To have you pay for — When he wanted to do you a favor — That was all Was n't it, Barry?"
mdp.39015063554045	To whom would they be intrusted?

mdp.39015063554045	Understand?"
mdp.39015063554045	Unless — unless she repre- sented — to her uncle — a need for money — for more money than he could legitimately earn?
mdp.39015063554045	Upon what excuse could he open that lighted door again?
mdp.39015063554045	Was he light or dark?"
mdp.39015063554045	Was it all swept up as well as this that morning when you found it?"
mdp.39015063554045	Was it at all probable that he would, at any time, let them go out of his keeping?
mdp.39015063554045	Was it because she was not — not their kind?
mdp.39015063554045	Was it to be answered now?
mdp.39015063554045	Was n't it reasonable to suppose that it was the person that sent in those bogus telegrams?
mdp.39015063554045	Was n't it?
mdp.39015063554045	Was n't the telephone and the radio once just a thought in some- body's mind?
mdp.39015063554045	Was there bad blood between the two?
mdp.39015063554045	Was there some sudden neces- sity, Jake?
mdp.39015063554045	We know we wo n't give anything away, but who else can we depend on?
mdp.39015063554045	Well, if they have, somehow, got hold of one of those big mechanical lathes, where is it?
mdp.39015063554045	Well, what have you found out?
mdp.39015063554045	Well, why not?
mdp.39015063554045	Were there dark plots in- cubating in those two oddly assorted establishments belong- ing to the old Wellmouth estate?
mdp.39015063554045	What are you doing with her this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063554045	What are you driving at?
mdp.39015063554045	What are you driving at?"
mdp.39015063554045	What became of the young lady?"
mdp.39015063554045	What can you prove?"
mdp.39015063554045	What could he see from that window?
mdp.39015063554045	What could it have been?
mdp.39015063554045	What did he look like?"
mdp.39015063554045	What did the man hope for?
mdp.39015063554045	What do you mean?"

mdp.39015063554045	What does Mr. Nathaniel Etherington do?"
mdp.39015063554045	What does he think?

mdp.39015063554045	What, in your opinion, was the object, Jake?"

mdp.39015063554045	Who's paying this fare?
mdp.39015063554045	Who, if he were involved in the crime, would so jealously guard them as the maker?

mdp.39015063554045	Will you?"
mdp.39015063554045	With you, George?"
mdp.39015063554045	Would Pete strike out from the shoulder now?
mdp.39015063554045	Would a man of his intelligence have made a break like that?
mdp.39015063554045	Would it be a question of making for the street, or of doubling back and trying to get into the house?

mdp.39015063554045	You suspected that, Pete?"
mdp.39015063554045	You were serious about what you said?"
mdp.39015063554045	You'd think that, would n't you, Pete? ”"Sounds reasonable to me, ” Peter encouraged.
mdp.39015063554045	You'll excuse me, wo n't you, Pete?

mdp.39015063959293	I say, sir,he exclaimed,"have you any foundation for these?
mdp.39015063959293	I take it, then, that you have not seen the newspapers for the last few days?
mdp.39015063959293	I wonder if you would feel inclined to practice it on the other side of the Green Park? mdp.39015063959293 If she kept them in a drawer and had caught them in it in shutting it, would the effect have been the same?"
mdp.39015063959293	If you were in Miller's place would you voluntarily al- lude to that little episode in your past?
mdp.39015063959293	If you would find out all about Miller, go to Hatton Garden, hein? mdp.39015063959293 In connection with the Miller murder, you mean?"
mdp.39015063959293	In the consulting room, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	In the event of their being willing to negotiate, how long could you give us?
mdp.39015063959293	Interested in this?
mdp.39015063959293	Is anything the matter, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	Is he a missionary too?
mdp.39015063959293	Is he? mdp.39015063959293 Is it true that Sir Richard Pomfrey was in that house when my poor lamb was murdered?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is she here now?
mdp.39015063959293	Is that a fact, do you think?
mdp.39015063959293	Is there any thing special you can remember about him?
mdp.39015063959293	Is there anything I can do for you, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	Is this the man you ran into on the steps of Daven- port's house?
mdp.39015063959293	It's a pretty beastly end, is n't it?
mdp.39015063959293	Madame Abramoff is English, then?
mdp.39015063959293	May I have the address of this Swiss gentleman?
mdp.39015063959293	May one pick them up?
mdp.39015063959293	Miller?
mdp.39015063959293	Mrs. Vallon, you mean?
mdp.39015063959293	Name?
mdp.39015063959293	No books? mdp.39015063959293 None?
mdp.39015063959293	Not Charles Miller's wife?
mdp.39015063959293	Nothing further cropped up, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959293	Nothing special you can remember about it, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959293	Notice anything special about the driver?
mdp.39015063959293	Now can you go one further and tell me what other patients you saw in Davenport's house?
mdp.39015063959293	Now how the devil did you hear about that?
mdp.39015063959293	One could find out, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959293	Open or closed?
mdp.39015063959293	Or his secretary?
mdp.39015063959293	Our opening day? mdp.39015063959293 Oy, what jer doin'?"
mdp.39015063959293	Potman, are n't you?
mdp.39015063959293	Pretty grim, is n't it?
mdp.39015063959293	Put them on the table, did he?
mdp.39015063959293	Richard Pomfrey never got into her clutches, did he?
mdp.39015063959293	Seeing that it is back, may I ask where we found it?
mdp.39015063959293	Selling, do you mean?
mdp.39015063959293	Shall I take the message, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	She could not have been in Switzerland during the first years of the war, you think?
mdp.39015063959293	She has never spoken of anyone whom she might have reason to fear?
mdp.39015063959293	Shown him the Cattistock photograph?
mdp.39015063959293	Sir Richard? mdp.39015063959293 So this is where our money goes, is it?"
mdp.39015063959293	So?
mdp.39015063959293	Spurt?
mdp.39015063959293	Sure that's the best you can do for us? mdp.39015063959293 Sure there's nothing more in that shrubbery?
mdp.39015063959293	Surely you do n't think he had anything to do with it? mdp.39015063959293 Talking of pendants, did he tell you what had become of his wife's emerald?"
mdp.39015063959293	The brooch was n't paste, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959293	The damage was actually discovered, then, on the morn- ing of the murder?
mdp.39015063959293	The key?
mdp.39015063959293	The matter of the window cleaner?
mdp.39015063959293	The numbers are quite clear,he said,"but these signs, what are they?
mdp.39015063959293	The poor woman who was murdered?
mdp.39015063959293	The telephone call?
mdp.39015063959293	Then if we follow up the lot we can be pretty sure of hitting on the car? mdp.39015063959293 Then the police think that robbery was the motive?"
mdp.39015063959293	Then why did he give her that diamond brooch? mdp.39015063959293 These convey nothing to you, I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015063959293	This man whose wife she was going to stay with in London? mdp.39015063959293 This man, Edward Parker, who is he?"
mdp.39015063959293	This wo n't let Higgs in for anything, will it?
mdp.39015063959293	Told you to hold your tongue about it, did he, and then gave you away?
mdp.39015063959293	Two knives?
mdp.39015063959293	Want me to tell you what happened?
mdp.39015063959293	Want to know where she was last Monday evening, the fourteenth, by any chance?
mdp.39015063959293	Was Charles Miller the man you were to see?
mdp.39015063959293	Was he a foreigner, do you think?
mdp.39015063959293	Was he here when you arrived?
mdp.39015063959293	Was n't he?
mdp.39015063959293	Was that the woman who went out as we came in?
mdp.39015063959293	Was there anything known to his disadvantage elsewhere?
mdp.39015063959293	Was this green stain on it when you got it?
mdp.39015063959293	Well?
mdp.39015063959293	Well?
mdp.39015063959293	What about his clothes?
mdp.39015063959293	What about it?
mdp.39015063959293	What about me money?
mdp.39015063959293	What about my little exhibit?
mdp.39015063959293	What about those notes you got from the garage pro- prietor?
mdp.39015063959293	What are you trying to fasten on me, Inspector?
mdp.39015063959293	What d'jer think?
mdp.39015063959293	What did you do?
mdp.39015063959293	What do you propose to do about it?
mdp.39015063959293	What for?
mdp.39015063959293	What happened next?
mdp.39015063959293	What have we really got to go on? mdp.39015063959293 What have you done with the bag?"
mdp.39015063959293	What have you heard, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	What is his standing here?
mdp.39015063959293	What kind of lady, Manners?
mdp.39015063959293	What kind of merchant?
mdp.39015063959293	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063959293	What object could he have in concealing the fact that he did n't know her?
mdp.39015063959293	What of it?
mdp.39015063959293	What other? mdp.39015063959293 What passed between you and Miller?"
mdp.39015063959293	What possible reason could I have for suspecting such a thing? mdp.39015063959293 What sort of beard?"
mdp.39015063959293	What were his movements exactly?
mdp.39015063959293	What were you to get for this?
mdp.39015063959293	What were your instructions?
mdp.39015063959293	What's brought you here?
mdp.39015063959293	What's he hanging about for?
mdp.39015063959293	What's in this en- velope?
mdp.39015063959293	What's that to you? mdp.39015063959293 What's that?
mdp.39015063959293	When I arrived? mdp.39015063959293 When I tell you that we know that Mr. Bloomfield saw you yesterday, do you still persist in that statement?"
mdp.39015063959293	When did you approach Miller?
mdp.39015063959293	When he showed you that pendant you've just described so accurately, he did n't mention that he was coming to the Yard this morning, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959293	When was that?
mdp.39015063959293	When?
mdp.39015063959293	Where does he come into it?
mdp.39015063959293	Where to?
mdp.39015063959293	Where was that?
mdp.39015063959293	Where's your telephone?
mdp.39015063959293	Which of them did you patronize?
mdp.39015063959293	Which of them left the room first?
mdp.39015063959293	Who else? mdp.39015063959293 Who was here when you came back with Mrs. Val- lon?"
mdp.39015063959293	Who was she?
mdp.39015063959293	Whom does the house belong to?
mdp.39015063959293	Whom were these letters addressed to?
mdp.39015063959293	Whose? mdp.39015063959293 Why could n't you take the letter to Parker yourself?"
mdp.39015063959293	Why did he do that if he wanted the stuff taken to the cloak- room?
mdp.39015063959293	Why did n't you report to the police?
mdp.39015063959293	Why did n't you tell me when we were at the mor- tuary that you had never met Madame Abramoff?
mdp.39015063959293	Why do you ask?
mdp.39015063959293	Why should n't I be, seein'as I saw it?
mdp.39015063959293	Why should these things happen to me?
mdp.39015063959293	Why? mdp.39015063959293 Will Monsieur, perhaps, be seeing his friend the In- spector?"
mdp.39015063959293	Will you shut the door, please, and look at this?
mdp.39015063959293	With Richard as your only hope?
mdp.39015063959293	Wo n't you sit down, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	Would you wish me to see Mr. Miller's man personally? mdp.39015063959293 Yes?"
mdp.39015063959293	You admit that if she had, she might have used it to her own advantage?
mdp.39015063959293	You did n't hear the address she gave the taxi?
mdp.39015063959293	You do n't recognise them as Chinese symbols?
mdp.39015063959293	You do n't recognise them as belonging to any language you do know?
mdp.39015063959293	You had no reason to fear that any ill might have be- fallen this lady?
mdp.39015063959293	You have heard nothing from her, you say, since she left you at the station?
mdp.39015063959293	You have some news about the emerald?
mdp.39015063959293	You here? mdp.39015063959293 You knew her, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063959293	You know they've been bothering him? mdp.39015063959293 You realise the construction that will be put on that?"
mdp.39015063959293	You saw no one else? mdp.39015063959293 You saw no one else?
mdp.39015063959293	You told the servants to be on hand, as I requested?
mdp.39015063959293	You were expecting a lady?
mdp.39015063959293	You will let Manners mix you a cocktail?
mdp.39015063959293	You wish me to come to you?
mdp.39015063959293	You wish me to look at this woman?
mdp.39015063959293	You're not suggesting that he did recognize the woman in the mortuary?
mdp.39015063959293	You're sure he did n't stow them in a note case, or whatever it is he carries? mdp.39015063959293 You're sure nothing was taken?"
mdp.39015063959293	You're sure of that?
mdp.39015063959293	You're sure you're not a bit prejudiced in his favour?
mdp.39015063959293	You've no idea where they went?
mdp.39015063959293	Your job or mine, Manners?
mdp.39015063959293	46 MURDER IN THE DENTIST CHAIR"Any news of Cattistock?"
mdp.39015063959293	Am I really the third on the list?"
mdp.39015063959293	Am I right in assuming that it contains money?"
mdp.39015063959293	And all this unperceived by Richard Pomfrey?"
mdp.39015063959293	And why all these lies?"
mdp.39015063959293	And, for both your sakes, may I say how glad I am that you decided to come and see me?"
mdp.39015063959293	Anything else, sir?"
mdp.39015063959293	Anything else?"
mdp.39015063959293	Anything further?"
mdp.39015063959293	Apart from which, what motive can you possibly assign to him?
mdp.39015063959293	Are they friends of long standing?"
mdp.39015063959293	Are you going to arrest her?
mdp.39015063959293	Are you prepared to meet my offer reasonably or do I leave you now and wash my hands of the whole business?"
mdp.39015063959293	But, in England, and in the case of a man whose relations with his wife were notoriously unfriendly?"
mdp.39015063959293	By the way, I sup pose you've checked Miller's movements on the night of the murder?"
mdp.39015063959293	By the way, has that house been done up lately, do you know?
mdp.39015063959293	By the way, you know the husband's on his way here?"
mdp.39015063959293	Can I get you some- thing?"
mdp.39015063959293	Can we go now?
mdp.39015063959293	Can you carry your mind back to the afternoon of the twelfth of this month?"
mdp.39015063959293	Can you get the lock off?"
mdp.39015063959293	Can you recommend the firm that did the work?"
mdp.39015063959293	Can you say as much for the Miller exhibit?"
mdp.39015063959293	Can you suggest any reason why I should have jumped to the con- clusion that these two people were identical?
mdp.39015063959293	Constantine?"
mdp.39015063959293	Constantine?"
mdp.39015063959293	Constantine?"
mdp.39015063959293	Could anything be duller and safer?
mdp.39015063959293	Could it have been this one?"
mdp.39015063959293	Could it have happened when she was wearing the teeth?"
mdp.39015063959293	Could n't you be a little more explicit, sir?"
mdp.39015063959293	Could you give me a rough idea of the time you left Davenport's house and the hour at which you arrived at the doctor's?"
mdp.39015063959293	Could you oblige me with her address?"
mdp.39015063959293	Could you tell me her name?"
mdp.39015063959293	Did Miller tell you anything about that woman he was by way of meeting at Victoria on Monday night?"
mdp.39015063959293	Did he ever tell you in so many words that he had ever met this friend of his wife's?"
mdp.39015063959293	Did she die under gas, or what?
mdp.39015063959293	Did the surgeon say anything about the wound?"
mdp.39015063959293	Did you get anything out of Miller concerning the business of Greeve?"
mdp.39015063959293	Did you know that?
mdp.39015063959293	Did you look up that firm of decorators?"
mdp.39015063959293	Do you mean to say that the man has never reached his hotel?
mdp.39015063959293	Do you propose to allow these crimes to continue?"
mdp.39015063959293	Do you suggest that he was aware of that?"
mdp.39015063959293	Do you want to be present at the interview, sir?
mdp.39015063959293	Does he know?"
mdp.39015063959293	Does he suffer from his nerves at all?"
mdp.39015063959293	Does that suggest nothing to you?
mdp.39015063959293	Either coming in or going out?"
mdp.39015063959293	For your comfort, I may tell you that I'm asking myself two ques- tions, How and why?
mdp.39015063959293	Get rid of them, or wait till the police come?"
mdp.39015063959293	Gibbs waited, in the hope of a more detailed description, then, as none came:"What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063959293	Guildford?
mdp.39015063959293	Had many visitors there?"
mdp.39015063959293	Had you any reason to suspect that this woman might be Madame Abramoff?"
mdp.39015063959293	Has he ever gone off like this before?"
mdp.39015063959293	Has she been overhauled since she came in that night?"
mdp.39015063959293	Has your master ever had any con- nection with the jewellery trade, d'you know?"
mdp.39015063959293	Have you any reason to think it happened in that way?"
mdp.39015063959293	Have you got on the track of that illusive gentle- man yet?"
mdp.39015063959293	Have you got those letters of Miller's?"
mdp.39015063959293	Have you made any progress whatever, Inspector?
mdp.39015063959293	Have you worked on that line at all?"
mdp.39015063959293	He did n't give the impression that she was an intimate friend of his own, did he?"
mdp.39015063959293	He gave his name as Joseph Osborne"You were on duty at Victoria Station on the evening of Monday last?"
mdp.39015063959293	How could anyone wish her any harm?
mdp.39015063959293	How did he get his hold over Miller, do you suppose?"
mdp.39015063959293	How did she get hold of this correspondence?"
mdp.39015063959293	How does the official hat feel now, Inspector?"
mdp.39015063959293	How goes the official conscience?"
mdp.39015063959293	How much was Parker to get out of Bloomfield and what was your share?"
mdp.39015063959293	How much were you to get if the deal went through?"
mdp.39015063959293	Hubbard told you?
mdp.39015063959293	I gather that you're not too sure of these?"
mdp.39015063959293	I hear you're taking over, Sir?"
mdp.39015063959293	I suppose nothing has occurred to you in the interval that might have some bearing on the crime?"
mdp.39015063959293	I suppose, as time is short, you could not put me in touch with your client?
mdp.39015063959293	If the thing comes off, all well and good, but if Greeve calls our bluff, where are we?"
mdp.39015063959293	In my wife's case, I feel convinced that the motive was one of robbery, but this other was not a rich woman, you say?"
mdp.39015063959293	In the hall or coming out of the lavatory?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is Malin the name at the head of your report?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is it one of these?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is it still there?
mdp.39015063959293	Is it true that Richard is under suspicion?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is n't one of this sort enough for you?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is n't that enough?
mdp.39015063959293	Is n't this rather waste of time?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is that clear?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is that true?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is there any enemy she might have made during those years in Russia?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is there anything I can do for you in his absence?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is there anything else?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is there anywhere where we can talk?"
mdp.39015063959293	Is there nothing, no matter how trivial, that you can think of that might estab- lish a connection between these two cases?"

mdp.39015063959293	Mr. Davenport was with her, surely?

mdp.39015063959293	Or does Scotland Yard not run to such effeminacies?"

mdp.39015063959293	You'll be having your bath now, sir?"
mdp.39015063959293	You're sure of that?"

mdp.39015063976925	Do n't you realize this man is trying to ruin us?

mdp.39015063976925	How much does he know?
mdp.39015063976925	Hurt?
mdp.39015063976925	I do n't know anything about a policeman — do you, Claggs?
mdp.39015063976925	I have n't the time to explain, but when you know the circumstances —"What the deuce do you mean?
mdp.39015063976925	I rather think I only took four THE THREE RAYS 149 at the dog- legged seventh — do you happen to re- member?
mdp.39015063976925	I've had my suspicions of you for some time,Venning went on,"but why do you make yourself known to me now?"
mdp.39015063976925	If you discover anything else, come round and let me know, will you?
mdp.39015063976925	In a Devonshire lane, was it not? mdp.39015063976925 In the mud?"
mdp.39015063976925	Indeed,he said, in a silky voice,"and pray what makes you think you're going to live so long?
mdp.39015063976925	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063976925	Is it necessary to tell you the rest?
mdp.39015063976925	Is it, d'ye think?

mdp.39015063976925	Is there a submarine in the show as well?

mdp.39015063976925	Is this true, Davis?
mdp.39015063976925	It locks, I suppose?
mdp.39015063976925	It's curious there was nothing, though; no caps or seat- cushions or anything like that?' mdp.39015063976925 Learnt anything?"

mdp.39015063976925	Lost the use of yer tongue, eh?
mdp.39015063976925	Marks?
mdp.39015063976925	My dear fellow, if it were only a matter for the police, do you think for a moment we should ask for your help?

mdp.39015063976925	Now what was I about to do when he came in? mdp.39015063976925 Oh yes — why?
mdp.39015063976925	Oh, have n't you got ONE EVENTFUL NIGHT 103 anything to say — any explanation to offer?
mdp.39015063976925	Old Dick? mdp.39015063976925 Policeman?"
mdp.39015063976925	Pretty poor shooting, is n't it?

mdp.39015063976925	Someone is ill, I suppose?

mdp.39015063976925	The sum of money to be paid — what have you fixed upon? mdp.39015063976925 They wo n't go off, will they?"
mdp.39015063976925	Think you could drive and look after an Isotta Fraschini?

mdp.39015063976925	Those tripods THE LOCKED ROOM 271 you used for the early experiments — I suppose you could still use them if necessary?

mdp.39015063976925	Was Horstman among them?
mdp.39015063976925	Was that you, too? mdp.39015063976925 Wash up now?
mdp.39015063976925	Well, my man, what can I do for you?
mdp.39015063976925	Well, you young puppy, ca n't you speak?
mdp.39015063976925	Well?
mdp.39015063976925	What about having the motor- boat out and going after'em guv'nor?
mdp.39015063976925	What about the Isotta Fraschini?

mdp.39015063976925	What did you mean by that interjection of yours when I mentioned that about the island?
mdp.39015063976925	What do you mean by playing the spy and following me about? mdp.39015063976925 What do you mean, sir?
mdp.39015063976925	What do you mean—'pretty near?'
mdp.39015063976925	What do you say his name is, Mortimer? mdp.39015063976925 What do you say, Horstman?"
mdp.39015063976925	What else was I to think, sir? mdp.39015063976925 What for?"
mdp.39015063976925	What good do you suppose this will do you?

mdp.39015063976925	Will you be good enough to tell me who you are, and why I am in this position?
mdp.39015063976925	Will you think me curious if I ask you where you met the charming gentleman?
mdp.39015063976925	Wish way did'e go?
mdp.39015063976925	Wish way?
mdp.39015063976925	Wo n't you tell me your name?
mdp.39015063976925	Wonder if the Colonel is here to- day?
mdp.39015063976925	Wot's all this?
mdp.39015063976925	Yes — wait a minute — wasn't it Hangerson, that chap who played for the Gentlemen last year at Lords? mdp.39015063976925 Yes, is n't it?
mdp.39015063976925	Yes?
mdp.39015063976925	You do n't believe in the nonsense?
mdp.39015063976925	You do n't happen to 68 THE GREAT HOLD- UP MYSTERY know the fellow really, do you?
mdp.39015063976925	You do n't seem to love him exactly, Mortimer,he added with a short laugh-"Love him?
mdp.39015063976925	You expect him from the sea?
mdp.39015063976925	You know him?
mdp.39015063976925	You watched him go, of course?
mdp.39015063976925	You wish to see me?
mdp.39015063976925	You're joking, man?
mdp.39015063976925	You're not going to throw me in there?
mdp.39015063976925	You're the police, I suppose?
mdp.39015063976925	You've broken my —"Do you want to force me to break the other, you fool?

mdp.39015063976925	'Look'ere,''e says,'kin you keep a secret?'
mdp.39015063976925	'Yes,'I says, wonderin','why?'
mdp.39015063976925	'You ai n't pullin'me leg, I suppose — not one of these'ere movie men, are you?
mdp.39015063976925	( iv)"Colonel, have you ever had the feeling that you are being watched?"
mdp.39015063976925	A clever disguise, though, Horstman, eh?
mdp.39015063976925	ADVANTAGES OF A THUNDERSTORM 81"You mean Kreller and Pagleiro?"
mdp.39015063976925	ADVANTAGES OF A THUNDERSTORM 91"Mathematical truths — how do you mean?"
mdp.39015063976925	Ah, yes, a telegram — I was on the point of sending a telegram, was I not?
mdp.39015063976925	And it will be — what you say? — killing two birds with one stone!
mdp.39015063976925	And pray what is likely to happen to me in two or three hours'time if I do n't release you at once?"
mdp.39015063976925	And what about that motor- boat Horst- man used?"
mdp.39015063976925	And what then?
mdp.39015063976925	And where in all this did Colonel venning come in?
mdp.39015063976925	And who, in such an out- of- the- way place, would ever think of identifying the retired Scotch doctor with the famous Sir Mortimer Drude?
mdp.39015063976925	And why should he not use an old tea- hut as a golf- house if he so desired?
mdp.39015063976925	And will there not be other warships at Devonport besides the Queen Anne?
mdp.39015063976925	And — er — Una — I may have to show them one or two experi- ments""What — to- night?"
mdp.39015063976925	Any other exits bar them gates, sir?"
mdp.39015063976925	Anything else?"
mdp.39015063976925	Are we justified in taking the chance?"
mdp.39015063976925	Are you certain there is no doubt about Toulon, Cherbourg, Portsmouth, Spezia and the rest falling into line?
mdp.39015063976925	As for his friends in England, what can they prove, whatever they may think?
mdp.39015063976925	At this time o'night?"
mdp.39015063976925	Because""Come back?
mdp.39015063976925	Beginning to wish you'd never had anything to do with the business, eh?"
mdp.39015063976925	Brown, isn'- it?"
mdp.39015063976925	Brown, the rugger- man?"
mdp.39015063976925	Brown?"
mdp.39015063976925	Brown?"
mdp.39015063976925	But how far would he travel before the hand of the law overtook him?
mdp.39015063976925	But what proof have you?
mdp.39015063976925	But where in the name of sanity was he?
mdp.39015063976925	But why do you run away if you are innocent?"
mdp.39015063976925	But would anyone find him, half- buried as he was, even in daylight?
mdp.39015063976925	By the way, I suppose you — er — you do n't happen to be a croquet- player?"
mdp.39015063976925	By the way,"Peter added carelessly,"Do you happen to know where Okewood Hall is, where Sir Mortimer Drude, the scientist, lives?"
mdp.39015063976925	Ca n't you try and think where it was or under what circumstance?"
mdp.39015063976925	Can you find out for me?"
mdp.39015063976925	Can you think of anything fairer than that?"
mdp.39015063976925	Could you describe the two men or their car?"
mdp.39015063976925	D'ye hear?
mdp.39015063976925	D'ye hear?"
mdp.39015063976925	Did Fred dare to think he could disobey him, Alphonse?
mdp.39015063976925	Did he hurt you just now?"
mdp.39015063976925	Did n't expect to see me again so soon, did yer?"
mdp.39015063976925	Did not your Byron say'Whom the gods love die young'?
mdp.39015063976925	Do you believe me?"
mdp.39015063976925	Do you feel like a stroll along the sands?
mdp.39015063976925	Do you imagine they are n't moving heav- en and earth to get on our tracks?
mdp.39015063976925	Do you know that I'm going to kill you — you swine!—now?"
mdp.39015063976925	Does anything strike you?"
mdp.39015063976925	Ever read that little thing of his on croquet?
mdp.39015063976925	Going to come quietly?"
mdp.39015063976925	Going to sneak out, was n't yu', now?"
mdp.39015063976925	Good Heavens, what on earth are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063976925	Got that down?
mdp.39015063976925	Got those stones, George?
mdp.39015063976925	Had he not heard Sir Mortimer say that Pag- leiro, Kreller, and probably others were coming that night to a conference?
mdp.39015063976925	Had he not heard that it was sometimes possible to deceive the most cunning madman by a simple ruse through which normal people would see at once?
mdp.39015063976925	Had his food been doped, he wondered?
mdp.39015063976925	Had not Sir Mortimer said that his work was not yet complete?
mdp.39015063976925	Hangerson, a pro- fessional, had failed in this; What were the chances of a mere amateur?
mdp.39015063976925	He turned the question over in his mind: was he in duty bound to accept?
mdp.39015063976925	How about you?"
mdp.39015063976925	How do you know he has n't friends on this island who know where he is, and are at this moment getting in touch with the police?"
mdp.39015063976925	How do you know he was here alone?
mdp.39015063976925	How's the policeman I had a little difference with?"
mdp.39015063976925	I admit I was about to steal it without a by- your- leave, and I therefore humbly ask you — may I borrow it?"
mdp.39015063976925	I go there to try out my racing bus — care to come along one day?"
mdp.39015063976925	I mean, you could take another holiday and get thoroughly fit again?"
mdp.39015063976925	I suppose this is the fellow, Horstman?"
mdp.39015063976925	I suppose you ai n't seen no man round'ere, Dan?"
mdp.39015063976925	I suppose you would n't care for a game yourself?"
mdp.39015063976925	Incidentally, what's this place used for, Horstman?
mdp.39015063976925	Inflict on it such another shock in its present unstable condition, and what would happen?
mdp.39015063976925	Is the League yet so strong that we can sweep aside the prospect of another war as being outside the range of possibi- lities?"
mdp.39015063976925	Is the young swine dead?"
mdp.39015063976925	Is there anything, I wonder, more startling in the world than thinking you see a man who you thought was dead?"
mdp.39015063976925	It did n't alight, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063976925	It has no smell at all, you say?"
mdp.39015063976925	It is n't absolutely necessary that you should go back to your business just yet, I suppose?
mdp.39015063976925	It might be rather awkward if they did, might n't it?"
mdp.39015063976925	It occurred to the clergyman to ask him what he was doing there, but being a companion- able soul he nodded instead, and remarked:"Hot, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063976925	It took food up and down — why should n't it take him?
mdp.39015063976925	Josey here'ud like to have a word with the swine, too — broke his arm, he did — eh, Josey?"
mdp.39015063976925	No trace of them, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063976925	Not but what there's ghosts on Sark, but who ever heard of a motor- boat being one?"
mdp.39015063976925	Or was it some kind of animal?
mdp.39015063976925	Peace, at any rate, lay there — long abiding peace — and after all, what was the use of struggling?
mdp.39015063976925	Peter was about to speak when she held up a warning 256 THE GREAT HOLD- UP MYSTERY"Where is he?"
mdp.39015063976925	Plucky, ai n't yer — knockin'folks down when they ai n't lookin'?"
mdp.39015063976925	Quite sure you're not hurt?"
mdp.39015063976925	Say, boys, wot's happened?"
mdp.39015063976925	Shall I take his pistols away, miss?"
mdp.39015063976925	Shall I tell you why?
mdp.39015063976925	Should he affect ignorance of the whole business or tell them the truth — or as much of the truth as was necessary to clear himself?
mdp.39015063976925	Should he risk it or attempt to slip away through another of the bedrooms?
mdp.39015063976925	Silly, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063976925	Since this unfortunate young man seems to have stolen your machine, may I ask why you did not at once inform me?"
mdp.39015063976925	Sir Mortimer Drude""Yes?"
mdp.39015063976925	Sir Mortimer mistook his silence for fear, for he went on:"That makes your cheek blanch, eh?
mdp.39015063976925	Smashed to pieces, I suppose, on the rocks?"
mdp.39015063976925	So THE GREAT HOLD- UP MYSTERY"My young friend, why thank me?
mdp.39015063976925	So if you hear any strange noises in the night — you wo n't be alarmed, dear?"
mdp.39015063976925	So they had come to view the kill, had they?
mdp.39015063976925	Strange, this A NEW USE FOR A DOLMEN 227 fancy for disguises, is it not?
mdp.39015063976925	Suppose he is n't mad, but is carrying out some kind of gigantic bluff on the people he's trying to sell the secret to?"
mdp.39015063976925	Suppose one man were, by a miracle, possessed of the knowledge which will be in possession of the world in a thousand years'time?
mdp.39015063976925	Suppose we adjourn the meeting till morning, shall we?
mdp.39015063976925	THE MAN WITH HAY- FEVER 19"Is he seriously ill?"
mdp.39015063976925	THE MAN WITH HAY- FEVER 31"And if I fail?"
mdp.39015063976925	Tell me, now, I believe you know a man named Cartwright — Colonel Richard Cartwright?"
mdp.39015063976925	That so, Claggs?"
mdp.39015063976925	That was most satisfactory, but would a wire dispatched that after- noon reach England before night- time?
mdp.39015063976925	The flashing of a message implied the presence of a recipient — and who, other than himself, was there awake and alert in Tregenneth at that time?
mdp.39015063976925	The ques- tion which one naturally asks is, how much more do they know?
mdp.39015063976925	There was something strange in his being left alone like this fully dressed — or was it perhaps that he was n't so seriously hurt as he imagined?
mdp.39015063976925	There will be no difficulty about that, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063976925	Unarmed as he was with nothing but a heavy torch, it was a desperate 24o THE GREAT HOLD- UP MYSTERY course to take, yet what other was there?
mdp.39015063976925	Understand?
mdp.39015063976925	Wan'me tell you?"
mdp.39015063976925	Was Sir Mortimer about to give one of his"demonstrations"?
mdp.39015063976925	Was Venning the culprit, he wondered, or Tringle, or both?
mdp.39015063976925	Was his head all right?"
mdp.39015063976925	Was it possible to'send a telegram?
mdp.39015063976925	Were his misgivings going to be justified after all?
mdp.39015063976925	Were they looking for him?
mdp.39015063976925	What about bed, Mortimer?
mdp.39015063976925	What day do you expect Pagleiro and Kreller to arrive?"
mdp.39015063976925	What do you mean by coming out of a side- road like that without knowing the coast was clear?"
mdp.39015063976925	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063976925	What have you done with him?"
mdp.39015063976925	What kind of story had he to tell?
mdp.39015063976925	What more natural than that a man living near such a stretch of sand should practise golf on it every afternoon?
mdp.39015063976925	What one?"
mdp.39015063976925	What special qualification do you possess which entitles you to question my judgment on affairs or decide the legality or otherwise of my actions?"
mdp.39015063976925	What the hell's the good of regretting?"
mdp.39015063976925	What was the meaning of these sinister allusions to the dead Pedro?—to whom had he given"as good as he got"?
mdp.39015063976925	What was the meaning of this mysterious survey from the skies?
mdp.39015063976925	What was the notion, Peter wondered? — there was no water nearer than the sea, two miles away.
mdp.39015063976925	What, in your opinion, should I do with him?"
mdp.39015063976925	Where is he now?"
mdp.39015063976925	Where is who?"
mdp.39015063976925	Where's this man you spoke of?"
mdp.39015063976925	Which way did he go when he left you?"
mdp.39015063976925	Whiskey?"
mdp.39015063976925	Who are you, pray, to be the arbiter of my behaviour?
mdp.39015063976925	Who would have supposed the mud was only a foot deep just there?"
mdp.39015063976925	Who's got one?"
mdp.39015063976925	Why, d'you feel like that now?"
mdp.39015063976925	Why?"
mdp.39015063976925	Wish way did'e go?
mdp.39015063976925	Yet had Sir Mortimer recognized him?
mdp.39015063976925	Yet if he was to be handed over to the mercies of the law, why had not the police been informed already?
mdp.39015063976925	You are a practical air- pilot, and I under- stand you have had experience with seaplanes""Seaplanes?
mdp.39015063976925	You are quite sure it will reach England to- night if I send it now?"
mdp.39015063976925	You do not recognize my voice, then?"
mdp.39015063976925	You follow me?"
mdp.39015063976925	You fond of it?"
mdp.39015063976925	You were always interested in my discoveries, Mr. Brown, were n't you?
mdp.39015063976925	did'e?"
mdp.39015063976925	i"Horstman?
mdp.39015063976925	what are you doing?"
mdp.39015069130675	A dog or a monkey?
mdp.39015069130675	All, but my Mr. Waring is n't here to- day, is he? mdp.39015069130675 Am I to bargain with my son what use I'm to make of my own property?
mdp.39015069130675	And he asked you, Elma?
mdp.39015069130675	And he had the snake there?
mdp.39015069130675	And how's Sardanapalus?
mdp.39015069130675	And is he all right again now, do you know? mdp.39015069130675 And rich beyond the utmost dreams of avarice?"
mdp.39015069130675	And what did your father say to that, Elma?
mdp.39015069130675	And what sort of a man is this McGregor?
mdp.39015069130675	And what sort of arrangement do you propose I should make for your personal maintenance, and this Gildersleeve girl's household?
mdp.39015069130675	And what was the hereditary trait handed down, as you say, in the family of the Koumanian lady?
mdp.39015069130675	And when does the next train start?
mdp.39015069130675	And who is Sardanapalus?
mdp.39015069130675	And who was that man?
mdp.39015069130675	And you and the other man were shut up in the tunnel there for fifteen hours at a stretch?
mdp.39015069130675	And you know who did it?
mdp.39015069130675	And you like me, too, then?
mdp.39015069130675	And you met him, dear?
mdp.39015069130675	And you think?
mdp.39015069130675	And young?
mdp.39015069130675	And — my mother?
mdp.39015069130675	Are you a shareholder?
mdp.39015069130675	Are you quite sure of that, Minnie?
mdp.39015069130675	But how did it all turn out?
mdp.39015069130675	But what am I to do?
mdp.39015069130675	But why westward, Waring? mdp.39015069130675 But why, my lord?"
mdp.39015069130675	Could n't you find out for us at Drummond, Coutts and Barclay's who the sender is?
mdp.39015069130675	Cyril,he cried,"what does all this mean?
mdp.39015069130675	Did he pay what he paid from a big roll of notes, and did he take the rest of the notes in the roll away with him?
mdp.39015069130675	Do I think so?
mdp.39015069130675	Do you hear what I say? mdp.39015069130675 Do you mean it, Kelmscott?
mdp.39015069130675	Do you think so?
mdp.39015069130675	Do you want to speak to me?
mdp.39015069130675	Does King Khatsua want us to leave his country, then?
mdp.39015069130675	Elma,she said, leaning over her,"do you know what that was?
mdp.39015069130675	Five minutes, my dear sir?
mdp.39015069130675	Gone? mdp.39015069130675 Guy Waring?"
mdp.39015069130675	Has Mr. Montague Nevitt been here?
mdp.39015069130675	Have you felt it often?
mdp.39015069130675	He's paid in six thousand pounds?
mdp.39015069130675	How can I thank you enough? mdp.39015069130675 How dare you so pretend and prevaricate to my face?
mdp.39015069130675	How do I know anything?
mdp.39015069130675	How do you know all this, Kelmscott?
mdp.39015069130675	How do you mean?
mdp.39015069130675	How will you take it?
mdp.39015069130675	How- ever am I to raise three thousand pounds? mdp.39015069130675 I think a Miss- Ewes was the fortunate bidder, was n't she?"
mdp.39015069130675	I'll give you an order to sell out at once, and I'll fill up this application for three hundred shares — why not three hundred? mdp.39015069130675 I'm painting him — yes, that's true,"he replied, with a look of sudden surprise;"but why'of course,'please?
mdp.39015069130675	Is he really ill, do you think, papa?
mdp.39015069130675	Is it likely I'd suggest it to her?
mdp.39015069130675	Is it likely I'd tell her? mdp.39015069130675 Is that all you have to say of her?
mdp.39015069130675	Like it? mdp.39015069130675 May n't I stay on now, just one little week longer?"
mdp.39015069130675	Mr. Billington?
mdp.39015069130675	Mr. Montague Nevitt?
mdp.39015069130675	Not even if I clear this all up?
mdp.39015069130675	Not some girl who'll bring disgrace upon your mother, I hope?
mdp.39015069130675	Now, are you quite sure you remember all the people you saw that day? mdp.39015069130675 Oh, Elma, why do you think so?"
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, Sardanapalus, mother — didn't I tell you about him?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, do n't you know why that is?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, do tell me,^she cried, clasping her hands in suspense once more;"what have you heard about Mr. Kelmscott?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, he was just such another one as his lordship, was he?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, what have I done?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, what have I said? mdp.39015069130675 Oh, what shall I ever do?"
mdp.39015069130675	On what charge?
mdp.39015069130675	Quite sure she said Mambury, all of her own accord? mdp.39015069130675 Second class, miss?
mdp.39015069130675	Seen this evening's paper, by the way, Guy?
mdp.39015069130675	So Mrs. Clifford had an ances- tress who was a Roumanian, had she? mdp.39015069130675 So you've dropped down by accident upon my lair here, have you?
mdp.39015069130675	Then you do n't believe in brain- waves?
mdp.39015069130675	Then you like it?
mdp.39015069130675	There were only two of you, then, in the last carriage?
mdp.39015069130675	To build the new Wing with? mdp.39015069130675 Turn out?
mdp.39015069130675	Was she pretty?
mdp.39015069130675	Well, but why to consult his dentist in particular?
mdp.39015069130675	Well?
mdp.39015069130675	Westward?
mdp.39015069130675	What age? mdp.39015069130675 What can Granville have done?
mdp.39015069130675	What do you want to know for?
mdp.39015069130675	What does this mean?
mdp.39015069130675	What have you got there?
mdp.39015069130675	What name?
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth can they mean by that? mdp.39015069130675 What possible reason can you have for saying so?"
mdp.39015069130675	What sort of a gentleman?
mdp.39015069130675	What vur do'ee want to vind'un? mdp.39015069130675 What young man?"
mdp.39015069130675	What's that?
mdp.39015069130675	What's the matter, darling?
mdp.39015069130675	What's the matter?
mdp.39015069130675	What, you here, Mr. Kelmscott?
mdp.39015069130675	What? mdp.39015069130675 Where did it come from?"
mdp.39015069130675	Where else?
mdp.39015069130675	Who dares to say I go anywhere ferreting?
mdp.39015069130675	Who is he?
mdp.39015069130675	Who told you they were nobodies?
mdp.39015069130675	Who's there?
mdp.39015069130675	Why not, Elma?
mdp.39015069130675	Why not?
mdp.39015069130675	Why, Elma,she exclaimed, staring her hard and long in the face;"my darling, what's this?
mdp.39015069130675	Why, Guy,he answered, with a fierce burst of joy,"then you're not a murderer after all?
mdp.39015069130675	Why, mother,it said, in a very tremulous tone,"it is n't Guy himself at all; do n't you see it's Cyril?"
mdp.39015069130675	Why, what do you mean by that, Mr. Gildersleeve? mdp.39015069130675 You do n't believe any nonsense of that sort, do you?
mdp.39015069130675	You think he has more initiative?
mdp.39015069130675	You think so?
mdp.39015069130675	You would?
mdp.39015069130675	You've found that out already, have you? mdp.39015069130675 '* How do you know?
mdp.39015069130675	'* To build the new wing with?"
mdp.39015069130675	'Why, what on earth has the man got to • be frightened of, I should like to know?
mdp.39015069130675	... What's that?
mdp.39015069130675	225"Expose you?"
mdp.39015069130675	227 you told ray own daughter you thought you had reason to suspect her own mother's early antecedents?"
mdp.39015069130675	37"Hallo, there, do you hear?
mdp.39015069130675	383 WHAT JUDGE?
mdp.39015069130675	79 AND AFTER?
mdp.39015069130675	85 AND AFTER?
mdp.39015069130675	AND AFTER?
mdp.39015069130675	AND AFTER?
mdp.39015069130675	Ah, mercy, what papers?
mdp.39015069130675	And After?
mdp.39015069130675	And Elma answered with bated breath, in almost inarticulate tones,"Do n't you see?
mdp.39015069130675	And I must either buy him off; or else, if that wo n't do""Or else what, Gilbert?"
mdp.39015069130675	And how did she know the snake was his model?
mdp.39015069130675	And if so, who had killed him?
mdp.39015069130675	And if they do n't dig us out before eighteen hours are over, do you mean to say we shall die of choking?"
mdp.39015069130675	And in any case — strangest of all — where was Guy?
mdp.39015069130675	And that was a good thing I put you on last week, too, was n't it?
mdp.39015069130675	And then what could I ever say?
mdp.39015069130675	And was this a lucid interval?
mdp.39015069130675	And what did I do then?
mdp.39015069130675	And what on earth would Cyril Waring think of her?
mdp.39015069130675	And what was the meaning of Elma's profound resolution, so strangely and strongly expressed, never, never to marry him?
mdp.39015069130675	And where is he now, land- lord?
mdp.39015069130675	And where was he going to?"
mdp.39015069130675	And who could have an interest in keeping him far from Tilgate?
mdp.39015069130675	And who could that customer be, Cyril thought to himself, but Colonel Kelmscott?
mdp.39015069130675	And who is the girl, Granville?"
mdp.39015069130675	And yet?
mdp.39015069130675	And, if so, oh, how could she poison Cyril Waring's life with so unspeakable an inheritance for himself and his children?
mdp.39015069130675	And, if so, was it possible that Guy had gone wrong in his head before the affray with Montague Nevitt?
mdp.39015069130675	Any more goin'on?
mdp.39015069130675	Are n't you, Sardanapalus?
mdp.39015069130675	Are they near or distant?"
mdp.39015069130675	Are you all alive?
mdp.39015069130675	Are you quite sure the other man who asked about passers- by wasn't — for example — the judge himself who's sitting here?"
mdp.39015069130675	Are you so sure as you seem of what you said this minute?
mdp.39015069130675	Billington, is it?
mdp.39015069130675	But how far off are they yet?
mdp.39015069130675	But how?
mdp.39015069130675	But where is Guy now?
mdp.39015069130675	But where was Guy Waring?
mdp.39015069130675	But why did he run away?
mdp.39015069130675	Can I do anything for you?"
mdp.39015069130675	Can I see him?"
mdp.39015069130675	Clifford — Clifford?
mdp.39015069130675	Could Cyril have learnt all?
mdp.39015069130675	Could it be Elma's father who wanted to send him so quickly away from England?
mdp.39015069130675	Could it be to get rid of him?
mdp.39015069130675	Could it be true, what he said in this strange mute language?
mdp.39015069130675	Could relief be at hand?
mdp.39015069130675	Could she have learned it meanwhile, before she met him in the wood?
mdp.39015069130675	Could the firing beneath show that Guy was returning?
mdp.39015069130675	Could this be Gildersleeve?
mdp.39015069130675	Could this be a dream?
mdp.39015069130675	Dead?
mdp.39015069130675	Dead?
mdp.39015069130675	Did British propriety ever before allow a man such a glorious opportunity for chivalrous devotion to a lady of family, face, and fortune?"
mdp.39015069130675	Did he say to Devonshire?"
mdp.39015069130675	Did n't he give you a hint what sort of secret he was driving at?"
mdp.39015069130675	Did n't he tell you at all what it was he knew?
mdp.39015069130675	Did you sell out to- day?
mdp.39015069130675	Do n't you see, mother?
mdp.39015069130675	Do n't you think I'd better get up and turn them off, or squash them?"
mdp.39015069130675	Do you mean to say openly you avow your intention of threatening and blackmailing me?
mdp.39015069130675	Do you mind waiting five minutes?
mdp.39015069130675	Do you?"
mdp.39015069130675	Eh, eh, my beauty?
mdp.39015069130675	Else how account for Guy's sudden disappearance, and for the fact that he never even wrote home his whereabouts?
mdp.39015069130675	Every right- minded person detests snakes, do n't they?
mdp.39015069130675	For habits like those must set themselves deep in the very core of the system, do n't you think, Colonel?
mdp.39015069130675	Gone where?"
mdp.39015069130675	Great heavens — what was this?
mdp.39015069130675	Great heavens, what was this?
mdp.39015069130675	Great heavens, what was this?"
mdp.39015069130675	Guy Waring had sufficient reasons of his own for wishing to leave the country?"
mdp.39015069130675	Guy observed that a little red spot rose on Cyril's cheek he had rarely seen there, and that his voice trembled slightly as he said,"How do you do?"
mdp.39015069130675	Had Cyril sent this?
mdp.39015069130675	Had Mr. McGregor come back?
mdp.39015069130675	Had Nevitt deliberately thrown away his ill- gotten gains?
mdp.39015069130675	Had he been killed in a fight?
mdp.39015069130675	Had he induced his victim to accept without question the name and character of some still more open criminal?
mdp.39015069130675	Had his half- brother, in this utmost need, then, so basely deserted him?
mdp.39015069130675	Had mamma discovered her?
mdp.39015069130675	Had remorse got the better of him?
mdp.39015069130675	Had the Cliffords alone discovered the secret of his birth?
mdp.39015069130675	Have not I been there, too?
mdp.39015069130675	Have you heard anything more about him?"
mdp.39015069130675	He was administrator of St. Kitts once upon a time, I believe, or was it Nevis or Antigua?
mdp.39015069130675	How could I ever explain to her?"
mdp.39015069130675	How could he ever have been such a fool?
mdp.39015069130675	How could he ever tell Emily now that Granville was gone?
mdp.39015069130675	How could he fail to be, indeed? — for Mr. Waring was charming.
mdp.39015069130675	How could he say such things in his heart even now of her, his pure, trustful Lucy?
mdp.39015069130675	How could he, indeed, in his turmoil and hurry?
mdp.39015069130675	How do we know he's an enemy at all?
mdp.39015069130675	How else could he have acted?
mdp.39015069130675	How many of you are there?
mdp.39015069130675	How much does he charge a thousand for that sort, I wonder?'
mdp.39015069130675	How on earth could Montague Nevitt have influenced and directed him in assaulting and murdering Montague Nevitt?
mdp.39015069130675	How on earth could she hide from that searching glance the whole truth as to what had happened in the wood that morning?
mdp.39015069130675	How on earth could you tell I was an artist even?"
mdp.39015069130675	I wonder whether by any chance she's one of the Devonshire Cliffords, now?
mdp.39015069130675	If I tell you what I know, will you promise me this — not to breathe a syllable of what I say to anybody?"
mdp.39015069130675	If he does n't fulfil those first duties of his post, why what on earth can be the good of him to anybody in any way?
mdp.39015069130675	If it's really such a good thing as you say, why should n't I profit by it?
mdp.39015069130675	If so, what could that ghastly secret be?
mdp.39015069130675	Indeed, why should he?
mdp.39015069130675	Is Nevitt dead?
mdp.39015069130675	Is any one injured?"
mdp.39015069130675	Is he in the house?
mdp.39015069130675	Is it likely I'd give my own girl the clue?
mdp.39015069130675	It'll take us weeks and weeks to reach the sea, wo n't it, by way of Namaqua land?"
mdp.39015069130675	Looks fishy, does n't it?
mdp.39015069130675	Mrs. Clifford, may I take you to get a cup of tea?
mdp.39015069130675	Must she go on for ever?
mdp.39015069130675	Must she go on till she dropped?
mdp.39015069130675	No?
mdp.39015069130675	Now why on earth did he want to keep Granville and the Warings apart?
mdp.39015069130675	Now, tell me, what vile use did you mean to make of your discovery this morning?"
mdp.39015069130675	Of course, you're Mr. Waring's brother, are n't you?"
mdp.39015069130675	Of what use could those wretched pebbles be to him here in the dusty plains of far inland Africa?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, God, what was this?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, do n't you see — don't you see it?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, great heavens, what was this?
mdp.39015069130675	Oh, what would her mother say, if only she knew all?
mdp.39015069130675	Or had Nevitt, that double- dyed traitor, now trebled his treachery by informing against the man whom he had driven into a crime?
mdp.39015069130675	Or run away?
mdp.39015069130675	Or was he frightened at last, thinking Guy was on his way to recover and restore Cyril's stolen property?
mdp.39015069130675	Or was it in fact a murder?
mdp.39015069130675	Or was it some final device of that fiend, Nevitt?
mdp.39015069130675	Ought n't we to get out at once and see what's happened to the other people?"
mdp.39015069130675	Perhaps you've kept one?
mdp.39015069130675	Quite sure you did n't suggest it to her, or supply the name, or give her a hint of its whereabouts, or put her a leading question?"
mdp.39015069130675	Should he out with it or not?
mdp.39015069130675	Some- where down Cyril's way, too; he's painting near Chetwood; wonder whether he could possibly, by any chance, have been in it?"
mdp.39015069130675	That beloved violin would inspire him with ideas j was it suicide or fraud?
mdp.39015069130675	That was all, was it?
mdp.39015069130675	The man was his own brother — his very counterpart, he knew; could he really believe him capable of committing a murder?
mdp.39015069130675	The man who murdered Montague Nevitt is — why should n't I tell you? — Mr.
mdp.39015069130675	WHAT'S BRED IN THE BONE* What would you have?
mdp.39015069130675	Waring?"
mdp.39015069130675	Waring?"
mdp.39015069130675	Was Nevitt really dead?
mdp.39015069130675	Was he anxious to conceal his part in the theft?
mdp.39015069130675	Was he essentially a money- grubber, Granville won- dered to himself, as he had thought him at first in the diamond fields in Barolong land?
mdp.39015069130675	Was he incapable of thinking about anything but filthy lucre?
mdp.39015069130675	Was his companion dead?
mdp.39015069130675	Was it chance or design?
mdp.39015069130675	Was it this which, as he told her, rendered their marriage impossible?
mdp.39015069130675	Was it this, then, that had made Granville talk so strangely to her that morning by the dell in the Woodlands?
mdp.39015069130675	Was she going mad?
mdp.39015069130675	Was she mad?
mdp.39015069130675	Was she mad?
mdp.39015069130675	Was that the reason of his absence?
mdp.39015069130675	Was there any- body whom his presence there could in any way incom- mode?
mdp.39015069130675	Was this just another of Nevitt's wily tricks?
mdp.39015069130675	Well, you'll get these young men's address for me, then, at the very earliest possible opportunity?"
mdp.39015069130675	Were detectives on the track?
mdp.39015069130675	Were he and Guy the inheritors of some deadly crime?
mdp.39015069130675	What Judge?
mdp.39015069130675	What can he mean by leaving me to bear it in his stead without ever coming forward to help me fairly out of it?"
mdp.39015069130675	What foxy ferreting have you come down to Manibury for?"
mdp.39015069130675	What had become of the other one?
mdp.39015069130675	What had happened to his companion?
mdp.39015069130675	What height?
mdp.39015069130675	What insanity had come over her?
mdp.39015069130675	What kind of a person to look at?"
mdp.39015069130675	What made her spin and twirl about like this — irresponsibly, uninten- tionally, irrepressibly, meaninglessly?
mdp.39015069130675	What more likely, indeed, seeing he had made off with Guy's three thousand pounds?
mdp.39015069130675	What number?"
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth can they be driving at?'
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth could Waring mean by that?
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth could have happened?
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth could his father mean by this whim?
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth could this mean?
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth could this mean?"
mdp.39015069130675	What on earth was he to do for his wife, and for Gwendoline?
mdp.39015069130675	What use my trying to keep it from you any longer?
mdp.39015069130675	What was that Elma Clifford suggested the other night?
mdp.39015069130675	What were they to do now?
mdp.39015069130675	What's that?"
mdp.39015069130675	What's the piece called?
mdp.39015069130675	What, there- fore, could have made him give so curious and almost imperceptible a start the moment Guy Waring's name was mentioned in conversation?
mdp.39015069130675	Who could tell how soon somebody might come up through the woods and interrupt their interview?
mdp.39015069130675	Who to ask?
mdp.39015069130675	Who was the Billington he was thus made to personate, and who must really be staying at the very same time in the Duke of Devonshire?
mdp.39015069130675	Why did n't Guy come forward and court inquiry?
mdp.39015069130675	Why dwell upon that seem- ingly unimportant detail?"
mdp.39015069130675	Why might n't he have been coming up to town, for example, to see a friend, or get himself fresh colours?"
mdp.39015069130675	Why saddle his firm with six thousand pounds loss?
mdp.39015069130675	Why should he, indeed?
mdp.39015069130675	Why so soft and low?
mdp.39015069130675	Why such burning solicitude for Colonel Kelmscott's estate on the part of a man who was his avowed enemy?
mdp.39015069130675	Why, how on earth do you come to know anything of her, Granville?
mdp.39015069130675	Will they reach us in time?
mdp.39015069130675	Will you allow me to undertake your defence in this matter?"
mdp.39015069130675	Would her feet never stop?
mdp.39015069130675	Would the doctors order Sir Gilbert abroad so long that he would be out of England when the trial took place?
mdp.39015069130675	You bought ten shares, I think, did n't you?
mdp.39015069130675	You catch the idea, do n't you?"
mdp.39015069130675	You resisted even the force of my music, did n't you?"
mdp.39015069130675	You're accustomed of old to their ways and manners?"
mdp.39015069130675	[ chap, vt. she?
mdp.39015069130675	and could the fact of her so learning it have thus pricked the slumbering conscience of their un- known kinsman or their supposed supplanter?
mdp.39015069130675	away eyes, and then remarked once more, without even looking up,"The same tooth lost, he says?
mdp.39015069130675	brother's scrutinizing gaze; but he answered with a certain little ill- concealed embarrassment:"Oh, I did n't say so, did n't I?
mdp.39015069130675	chief?
mdp.39015069130675	do you mean by that?
mdp.39015069130675	father's lawful consort?
mdp.39015069130675	for eighteen hours together?
mdp.39015069130675	he echoed,"do I think so?
mdp.39015069130675	head into a noose, blindfold?
mdp.39015069130675	himself was the murderer?
mdp.39015069130675	if they forgot in the end how noblesse oblige, and sank at last into foul depths of vice and criminality?
mdp.39015069130675	she asked herself, or had some evil spirit taken up his abode within her?
mdp.39015069130675	she asked, somewhat anxiously;"or is he only — well — only frightened?"
mdp.39015069130675	sign ourselves out of them?
mdp.39015069130675	v."Was he, poor fellow?"
mdp.39015069130675	what madness was this?
mdp.39015069130675	what was this?
mdp.39015063957503	'Ow,he continued —"'ow did I come'ere, guv'nor?"
mdp.39015063957503	A shadow?
mdp.39015063957503	Afther pathing through all them handth wathn't likely ath how you would find it, wath it, now?
mdp.39015063957503	Ah,he murmured,"now, how came that in there — that which more rightly belongs to Bond Street and a jeweller's shop than to this musty old spot?
mdp.39015063957503	Ai n't I got a business appointment at Fildridge's about my invention?
mdp.39015063957503	Ai n't you rather condemning the lady before you've heard what she's got to say?
mdp.39015063957503	All missing? mdp.39015063957503 Am I to hunt London for a man called Snuffy of Towler's Rents?"
mdp.39015063957503	An'now what, guv'nor?
mdp.39015063957503	An'why?
mdp.39015063957503	AnT said as'ow yer was welcome 88 The Secret of the Barbican to what yer liked to take out o'what I got — eh? mdp.39015063957503 And I asks again — what might you be?"
mdp.39015063957503	And ai n't I going with you to keep it?
mdp.39015063957503	And from Sarklestowe? mdp.39015063957503 And phwat's if that's me name, misther?"
mdp.39015063957503	And pray whom does he think is — or was — guilty?
mdp.39015063957503	And that,asked the judge,"is it much?"
mdp.39015063957503	And those two, you say, are dead; drowned in the flood, as the girl's father also was?
mdp.39015063957503	And what did Garth say?
mdp.39015063957503	And what if I am Yorkshire?
mdp.39015063957503	And you ai n't really suspected — nobody?
mdp.39015063957503	And — does that mean anything?
mdp.39015063957503	And — er — valuable?
mdp.39015063957503	And — what next?
mdp.39015063957503	Any liking for the early cup?
mdp.39015063957503	Any suspicious characters about?
mdp.39015063957503	Anything fresh since morning?
mdp.39015063957503	Anything wrong, sir?
mdp.39015063957503	Are n't we water- locked?
mdp.39015063957503	Are you disposed to purchase them, then?
mdp.39015063957503	Are you sure it's murder?
mdp.39015063957503	Are you sure of what you say?
mdp.39015063957503	Are you the lodging- house keeper?
mdp.39015063957503	At Sarkle- stowe?
mdp.39015063957503	Aught about Mother Capstick?
mdp.39015063957503	Ay, and who is he and where is he to be found?
mdp.39015063957503	But I thought you and she were fishing for nothing under a Marquis?
mdp.39015063957503	But how am I to get down to that there ship?
mdp.39015063957503	But one question; have you left your room at all since you went to bed?
mdp.39015063957503	But who is he?
mdp.39015063957503	But you did n't put your little case containing the diamonds in your pocket?
mdp.39015063957503	But you do n't know anything?
mdp.39015063957503	But — why?
mdp.39015063957503	But,he said,"how do you know that set's yours?
mdp.39015063957503	By whom? mdp.39015063957503 Ca n't you stop?"
mdp.39015063957503	Can he offer a reward? mdp.39015063957503 Can you tell me where Orange Court is?"
mdp.39015063957503	Captain Mervyn?
mdp.39015063957503	Carry your bag, guv'nor?
mdp.39015063957503	Cheque or cash?
mdp.39015063957503	Colonies — something of that sort"At once?
mdp.39015063957503	Could he really have shot this man and never known anything of it?
mdp.39015063957503	D'ye think I ask my customers'names?
mdp.39015063957503	Dangerous?
mdp.39015063957503	Dead?
mdp.39015063957503	Diamonds, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	Did Charlesworth pay any of that money which he brought yesterday in gold?
mdp.39015063957503	Did he make any remark to you about any of those acceptances?
mdp.39015063957503	Did n't I say I'd do it?
mdp.39015063957503	Did no one hear the sound of a shot?
mdp.39015063957503	Did you break these windows for fun?
mdp.39015063957503	Disappeared with some of the town's goods and effects, I suppose?
mdp.39015063957503	Do they know whether he had any enemies — any- body who had any reason for wanting to get rid of him?
mdp.39015063957503	Do they suspect anybody?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you know what that means — may mean, mister?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you know where he lives when he's in London?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you think I want any of the credit? mdp.39015063957503 Do you think they hit her, Geoffrey?"
mdp.39015063957503	Does Earnshaw know of your movements?
mdp.39015063957503	Does he mean the tall gentleman who was in 54?
mdp.39015063957503	Drink all right, Tisdale?
mdp.39015063957503	Eh?
mdp.39015063957503	For heaven's sake, why?
mdp.39015063957503	Frankly,said the sub- dean,"what is their value, between ourselves now?"
mdp.39015063957503	Gentleman as is stopping in the house, I think, sir?
mdp.39015063957503	Geoffrey,said Kitty suddenly,"do you think 182 The Secret of the Barbican this is how people feel when they're stuck in prison?"
mdp.39015063957503	Get him taken away, will you?
mdp.39015063957503	Gone?
mdp.39015063957503	Good evening, John, do you know where Mrs. Capstick is? mdp.39015063957503 Had n't you better confess and be done with it?
mdp.39015063957503	Have n't you got a register of your visitors?
mdp.39015063957503	Have n't you pasted it up?
mdp.39015063957503	Have you ever seen this before? mdp.39015063957503 Have you made inquiry?"
mdp.39015063957503	Have you two or three men that you can thoroughly depend upon?
mdp.39015063957503	He left at seven o'clock Is something the matter, sir?
mdp.39015063957503	How could Earnshaw set you on to me?
mdp.39015063957503	How far,asked Etherington,"is this place where he was found from these two farms?"
mdp.39015063957503	How had those men paid him?
mdp.39015063957503	How many people have access to that case besides yourself?
mdp.39015063957503	How much do you want?
mdp.39015063957503	How much, now?
mdp.39015063957503	How much?
mdp.39015063957503	How — how soon is there a train?
mdp.39015063957503	I must have that waistcoat?
mdp.39015063957503	I said'what will you do?' mdp.39015063957503 I suppose there is no doubt in the opinion of the people hereabouts that Michael was guilty?"
mdp.39015063957503	I suppose,said the caller,"that you know all the parties concerned in this affair?"
mdp.39015063957503	I wonder who did kill him?
mdp.39015063957503	I wonder who he is, and what he's after? mdp.39015063957503 I'm obliged to yer, guv'nor,"he said,"I — I'll be movin'now, if you ai n't no objections?"
mdp.39015063957503	In the meantime perhaps you will lock the stones in your safe?
mdp.39015063957503	In- ventions bring a in lot of money, do n't they?
mdp.39015063957503	Indeed, sir?
mdp.39015063957503	Is her father a farmer, too?
mdp.39015063957503	Is it a place you have a right to fish in?
mdp.39015063957503	Is it possible to make one's way anywhere?
mdp.39015063957503	Is it to make sure that we ca n't escape?
mdp.39015063957503	Is n't Sarklestowe in Yorkshire?
mdp.39015063957503	Is that possible?
mdp.39015063957503	Is there anything j'ou have n't told him?
mdp.39015063957503	Is there aught I can have the pleasure of showing you this morning? mdp.39015063957503 Is — is he off?"
mdp.39015063957503	It's none a pleasant reflection to know that a relative's goin'to be hanged by t'nock till he's dead, now, is it?
mdp.39015063957503	Just after we left him, eh? mdp.39015063957503 Know'em, mister?
mdp.39015063957503	Learoyd never heard anything — no sound of a fall, or a cry?
mdp.39015063957503	Let us hear first if — eh?
mdp.39015063957503	Live together?
mdp.39015063957503	Look here, Normanstowe,said her ladyship abruptly,"who is this man Copperthwaite?"
mdp.39015063957503	Making anything?
mdp.39015063957503	Men or women?
mdp.39015063957503	Men to whom you can tell a little and rely on fully?
mdp.39015063957503	Mr. Hellard?
mdp.39015063957503	Mr. Penny,she said, with ingenuous directness, why have you never been to see us since you brought the good news?
mdp.39015063957503	Much?
mdp.39015063957503	Name?
mdp.39015063957503	Never heard anything?
mdp.39015063957503	No fetchin'the perlice in while I'm here?
mdp.39015063957503	No snakes — nor cen- tipedes — eh, Linkwater?
mdp.39015063957503	No,she responded,"I wo n't say it — because you will come, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063957503	Not — satisfied?
mdp.39015063957503	Nothing more, then, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063957503	Nothing to be frightened about — eh? mdp.39015063957503 Nothing — nothing alive, I hope?"
mdp.39015063957503	Now then, Mr. Hellard,she demanded loudly,"what right have you to get my key and walk into, my house, I would like to know?
mdp.39015063957503	Now, from whom did you buy? mdp.39015063957503 Now, then,"demanded this awful being,"what did you do that for?"
mdp.39015063957503	Now, you listen to me, young lady,he said,"I dare say you know the old proverb — that it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good?
mdp.39015063957503	Now?
mdp.39015063957503	Now?
mdp.39015063957503	Of considerable value?
mdp.39015063957503	Of course, there'll be an inquest?
mdp.39015063957503	Oh, it's Mestur Hellard, is it?
mdp.39015063957503	Oh, she left her key with you, did she?
mdp.39015063957503	Oh, what is it?
mdp.39015063957503	Or, rather, what do you intend to do?
mdp.39015063957503	Peddling jewellery?
mdp.39015063957503	Perhaps one of them has removed the Missal?
mdp.39015063957503	Perlice?
mdp.39015063957503	Price quite satisfactory, I hope?
mdp.39015063957503	Prisoners?
mdp.39015063957503	Protest against what?
mdp.39015063957503	Radius of one mile from St. James'Street, say?
mdp.39015063957503	Registered it, of course?
mdp.39015063957503	Right, governor?
mdp.39015063957503	Seems a bit odd, does n't it?
mdp.39015063957503	Shall I be able to travel to London within a week? mdp.39015063957503 She is a woman we knew in London""Has Mrs. Vanderkiste gone back to London?"
mdp.39015063957503	So you did take'em? mdp.39015063957503 Social ambitions, eh, Copper?"
mdp.39015063957503	Soon?
mdp.39015063957503	Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Leggett,answered the superintendent, apologetically;"but can you give me and Mr. Milgrave here a minute or two?
mdp.39015063957503	Stabbed, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	Strite?
mdp.39015063957503	Superintendent Sutton in?
mdp.39015063957503	That man on the yacht locked you up there?
mdp.39015063957503	That's the second time he's done that, is n't it?
mdp.39015063957503	The man who has just gone out,remarked the judge presently,"is not, I think, a North countryman?
mdp.39015063957503	The place of the murder?
mdp.39015063957503	The word?
mdp.39015063957503	Then through that set of siege coins you think you can trace something of this man?
mdp.39015063957503	Then, those signatures, to be plain, are forged?
mdp.39015063957503	There ai n't nothink serious, is there, guv'nor? mdp.39015063957503 There you are, that'll be the man — only furniture and curiosity shop in Towler's Rents, d'you see?"
mdp.39015063957503	They are unusual?
mdp.39015063957503	Think so?
mdp.39015063957503	To- morrow, then, sir? mdp.39015063957503 Wanting somebody in here, Mister?"
mdp.39015063957503	Was Mr. Hannington married?
mdp.39015063957503	Was this the only time you could hit on? mdp.39015063957503 Wath to be done with theeth, mithter?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well — where?
mdp.39015063957503	Well, and what then?
mdp.39015063957503	Well, now, there's something I want out of the Barbican house, so just give me that key, will you, Mrs. Green? mdp.39015063957503 Well, you say he had the unique set of siege coins with him — my set?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well,assented Lampard,"the facts, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well,he said, acidly,"what is it, Sutton?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well,said the tall man, with a laughing glance at his companion,"which will you have?
mdp.39015063957503	Well?
mdp.39015063957503	Well?
mdp.39015063957503	Well?
mdp.39015063957503	Well?
mdp.39015063957503	Were the two cousins on friendly terms?
mdp.39015063957503	What about it?
mdp.39015063957503	What about this woman?
mdp.39015063957503	What about those farms?
mdp.39015063957503	What are they for?
mdp.39015063957503	What are you doing?
mdp.39015063957503	What brings you here in such a hurry? mdp.39015063957503 What conditions?"
mdp.39015063957503	What did he pay you then?
mdp.39015063957503	What do you think he meant?
mdp.39015063957503	What do you want to know for?
mdp.39015063957503	What else?
mdp.39015063957503	What for?
mdp.39015063957503	What girl do you suppose would marry you until you've settled down?
mdp.39015063957503	What have you got there? mdp.39015063957503 What is it we've been talking about?
mdp.39015063957503	What lodging- house? mdp.39015063957503 What might you be wanting, now, if it's a fair question?"
mdp.39015063957503	What of it?
mdp.39015063957503	What of it?
mdp.39015063957503	What on earth for?
mdp.39015063957503	What sort of man was he, at any rate?
mdp.39015063957503	What you come for then?
mdp.39015063957503	What you fancy, Issy? mdp.39015063957503 What you like to drink, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	What — of his diamonds?
mdp.39015063957503	What — what's it all about?
mdp.39015063957503	What's he look like?
mdp.39015063957503	What's it all about, Melky?
mdp.39015063957503	What's the matter?
mdp.39015063957503	What's the use of denial? mdp.39015063957503 What's to be done?"
mdp.39015063957503	What's to be done?
mdp.39015063957503	What's to be done?
mdp.39015063957503	What's town to mean?
mdp.39015063957503	What's up? mdp.39015063957503 What's your idea, Copper?"
mdp.39015063957503	What'ud it sell at?
mdp.39015063957503	What, for instance?
mdp.39015063957503	What, then?
mdp.39015063957503	What, then?
mdp.39015063957503	Where did you get the fifty quid?
mdp.39015063957503	Where else?
mdp.39015063957503	Where have I seen that man before?
mdp.39015063957503	Where's it got to? mdp.39015063957503 Where, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	Where?
mdp.39015063957503	Which is the way to the market town — Highdale?
mdp.39015063957503	Who is Mrs. Vanderkiste?
mdp.39015063957503	Who the devil are you?
mdp.39015063957503	Why did I? mdp.39015063957503 Why did you break them, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	Why do you come and interfere in this way? mdp.39015063957503 Why significant?"
mdp.39015063957503	Why, where did you find that?
mdp.39015063957503	Wo n't have it? mdp.39015063957503 Wot about the perlice then?
mdp.39015063957503	Would it be any good to make a sort of preliminary search now?
mdp.39015063957503	Yer said as'ow yer could get me away?
mdp.39015063957503	Yes? mdp.39015063957503 Yes?"
mdp.39015063957503	You are surprised to see me?
mdp.39015063957503	You do n't have it about you?
mdp.39015063957503	You do n't suspect either of the two farmers?
mdp.39015063957503	You doing well?
mdp.39015063957503	You find them of interest?
mdp.39015063957503	You find those stones interesting?
mdp.39015063957503	You heard Leggett's name mentioned? mdp.39015063957503 You mean to make us prisoners?"
mdp.39015063957503	You posted that tender of Steel& Cardyke's all right yesterday?
mdp.39015063957503	You read in the newspapers this morning?
mdp.39015063957503	You see that about me?
mdp.39015063957503	You see that old, red, brick mansion a- standing under them trees where the rooks is a- flying?
mdp.39015063957503	You see?
mdp.39015063957503	You would n't like to take something, first?
mdp.39015063957503	You — you surprise me greatly, I had no idea that Alma's amorous pro- pensities"When is this young man going back to South Africa?
mdp.39015063957503	You'd leave it to me if you can suggest anything?
mdp.39015063957503	You'd let me carry it on?
mdp.39015063957503	You're coming in to lunch, of course?
mdp.39015063957503	You're from Walford?
mdp.39015063957503	''How?"
mdp.39015063957503	'Why do n't you tell him Extra- judicial 205 t'truth, then?'
mdp.39015063957503	168 The Secret of the Barbican"How on earth can I tell that?"
mdp.39015063957503	220 The Secret of the Barbican between me and Mr. Earnshaw, however, was that he knew nothing, and I knew — something, eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	28 The Earl, the Warder and the Wayward Heiress 29"And when the search begins, is the searcher to have a free hand?
mdp.39015063957503	33 two multiplex machines?
mdp.39015063957503	84 The Secret of the Barbican"That there dawg, now?"
mdp.39015063957503	A few minutes later he dispatched a message expressed in plain, if concise, terms:"Will you take four thousand pounds cash?"
mdp.39015063957503	About Earnshaw?
mdp.39015063957503	All amongst friends, do n't you know?"
mdp.39015063957503	An'I warned him agen Michael—'cause Michael had murder in him when he spok'them words — ye could see it?"
mdp.39015063957503	And did n't you — eh?
mdp.39015063957503	And did you notice how that cove is hidden from the sea outside its mouth?
mdp.39015063957503	And do n't you see, my sister would get into an awful hole if — but there, what's the use of talking?
mdp.39015063957503	And have n't we the stage box for this performance?"
mdp.39015063957503	And how much do you think you can afford me for the books now, mister?"
mdp.39015063957503	And if he did n't suspect them — why, he'd begin to suspect — ah, whom could n't he begin to suspect?
mdp.39015063957503	And if not, where are we to be put?
mdp.39015063957503	And now just wash and shave yourself and smarten yourself up, and then you and I are going out — what?"
mdp.39015063957503	And what could have taken Swale, a man of fixed habits, to a wild, desolate spot like Blind Gap Moor before 6 o'clock of a May morning?
mdp.39015063957503	And what does she know about — Marsh- field?"
mdp.39015063957503	And what — what,"he suddenly burst out with a flash of ungovern- able fury, —"what did you come spying around here for?
mdp.39015063957503	And what'll you drink?
mdp.39015063957503	And what's to be done?"
mdp.39015063957503	And your lordship really means to stick it out?"
mdp.39015063957503	And — by whom?"
mdp.39015063957503	And — do you think the person who sold was a principal or an agent?
mdp.39015063957503	And — your brother's left them to you?"
mdp.39015063957503	And, after a swift glance at all three men, she involuntarily clasped her hands, and ejaculated four words:"Oh, what is it?"
mdp.39015063957503	And, speaking of that, shall you be on duty in the morning, and at what time, if you are?"
mdp.39015063957503	Anything else, Copper?"
mdp.39015063957503	Anything relating to bank business?
mdp.39015063957503	Anything suspicious?"
mdp.39015063957503	Are you thinking of getting married?"
mdp.39015063957503	As for Burland's folks — why, who and what were they to command riches?
mdp.39015063957503	At four o'clock, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	Bank funds, borough funds — what?
mdp.39015063957503	Besides, supposing this Italian did come back, how could he know that the mayor was to be found in his parlour at that particular hour?
mdp.39015063957503	Besides, who had a better right to these precious stones than himself?
mdp.39015063957503	Best crystal in two respects, eh, Sutton?
mdp.39015063957503	Both?
mdp.39015063957503	But I know of my countrymen in London,"she answered,"and Ciappi may have known some of them, and if I had any clue — ah, why do n't you tell me?"
mdp.39015063957503	But how should this man know he had it?
mdp.39015063957503	But the woman across there said that Mrs. Capstick went away at eleven, and never got this wire?"
mdp.39015063957503	But which way now?
mdp.39015063957503	But who was the little man who sat in the background, staring at him in that queer fashion which somehow suggested something worse than contempt?
mdp.39015063957503	But who's the fellow with them?"
mdp.39015063957503	But you know him; you will help to catch him?
mdp.39015063957503	But — how had things been found out?
mdp.39015063957503	But — how?
mdp.39015063957503	But — murder?
mdp.39015063957503	But — of what — of whom?
mdp.39015063957503	But — what did Penny know?
mdp.39015063957503	But — what matter?
mdp.39015063957503	But — where did she get them?
mdp.39015063957503	But — you come see me presently?"
mdp.39015063957503	But —"was that man there?"
mdp.39015063957503	By the bye, did Mrs. Capstick say whether she'd return to- night?"
mdp.39015063957503	By whom?
mdp.39015063957503	Can he do what he pleases?
mdp.39015063957503	Can he stick up bills, placards?"
mdp.39015063957503	Can you remember anything special that he did — here?
mdp.39015063957503	Can you tell me where Mr. Paver- Crompton lives, now?
mdp.39015063957503	Chisholm, how did they do these things in the days of our grandfathers?"
mdp.39015063957503	Come, man, be sensible, be — my God, what's that?"
mdp.39015063957503	Come, now, where did you get those things you sold to your cousin, Thomas Capstick, in London?
mdp.39015063957503	Could it really be?
mdp.39015063957503	Did Cruddas call here that night?"
mdp.39015063957503	Did he get these siege coins from her?
mdp.39015063957503	Did n't Swale tell you that he had found out that the supposed signature of Folkingham and Greensedge on your acceptances were — forgeries?
mdp.39015063957503	Did you pick it up in the garden?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do n't I know'em — do n't I know my own moneys?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do n't know if you ever heard of the Rajah of Bongolore?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you hear that?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you know to whom it belongs?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do you know what?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you know what?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do you remember selling a set of Sarklestowe siege coins to Mr. Issachar of Mortimer Street some little time ago?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do you see that line of poles standing up at intervals across the sands?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do you see, we ca n't get a glimpse of that little cove and the yacht from here?
mdp.39015063957503	Do you still wish to dispose of these stones on your man's behalf, sir?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do you think Mr. Water- man, the jeweller, would buy them from me, sir?"
mdp.39015063957503	Do you think you're safe?
mdp.39015063957503	Does n't your lordship remember that awful hot day when we all bathed in the Orange River, near Bethulie?
mdp.39015063957503	Eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	First of all, are you certain, absolutely certain, that this Dutch chap is going to make good his offer of five hundred pounds reward?
mdp.39015063957503	Found something rare, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	Had Mr. Hannington any love affair?"
mdp.39015063957503	Had n't you better send for the police, or wire for a Scotland Yard man?"
mdp.39015063957503	Happen you think I killed Jim Garth?"
mdp.39015063957503	Has anybody any suspicion?"
mdp.39015063957503	Have you found it — have you got it?
mdp.39015063957503	He went on munching, finished his mouthful and whispered back:"Watched?"
mdp.39015063957503	Here, what's the meaning of it?"
mdp.39015063957503	How did it come into your possession?"
mdp.39015063957503	How many of'em now?"
mdp.39015063957503	How much are you going to give for the information?"
mdp.39015063957503	How much do you want to hold your tongue?"
mdp.39015063957503	How's it to be done?"
mdp.39015063957503	How's it to be, guv'nor?"
mdp.39015063957503	How's that guv'nor?"
mdp.39015063957503	How's that?"
mdp.39015063957503	I buy nice horse this morning for fifty quid, and sell him for seventy quid, all within the hour, eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	I could get them turned into gold — or as good, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063957503	I dessay it's all right, but this'ere neighbourhood ai n't what you'd call healthy, is it, now?"
mdp.39015063957503	I hope you approve?"
mdp.39015063957503	I say, what shall we do?"
mdp.39015063957503	I understand nothing was heard at your place?"
mdp.39015063957503	If I can catch him before he sails, eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	If he was right in his belief that he had The Secret of the Barbican discovered a forgery, what might not arise out of it?
mdp.39015063957503	If it is not trespassing too much on your time, sir?"
mdp.39015063957503	If you like to make it worth my while to — eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	Is he a gentleman?"
mdp.39015063957503	Is it near here?
mdp.39015063957503	Is it not so?"
mdp.39015063957503	Is n't it so?"
mdp.39015063957503	It will rain to- night, you say?"
mdp.39015063957503	It would appear, then, that these stones must have gone from Europe to India, eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	It's a way that cuts through the walls, goes down below the market- place, and ends — where do you think?"
mdp.39015063957503	It's been a family secret up to now, but — now""What?"
mdp.39015063957503	It's the other"The Sekhester Missal 293"Where,"asked Lampard quietly, turning to Mrs. Vanderkiste —"where are the Missal and the medal?"
mdp.39015063957503	Look here, do you think there's anybody else in this hole who might recognize me?
mdp.39015063957503	Mission'ry?"
mdp.39015063957503	Mr. Hellard — what about my Cousin Thomas?"
mdp.39015063957503	Murder?
mdp.39015063957503	Not — not to where you come from, would it?
mdp.39015063957503	Now, do you see?
mdp.39015063957503	Now, if only""If only what?"
mdp.39015063957503	Now, if somebody had got to know that Mr. Swale would have £ 100 in cash after he'd been to these farms last night — eh?"
mdp.39015063957503	Now, is n't it queer'at it should turn up at yor bank — what?"
mdp.39015063957503	Now, then, ca n't I square you to hold your tongue?"
mdp.39015063957503	Now, then, to be what we may term systematic about it, this is Thursday, December io, 1914, is n't it?
mdp.39015063957503	Now, then, where did the murderer go?
mdp.39015063957503	Now, why this eagerness?"
mdp.39015063957503	Of course, there was something wrong?"
mdp.39015063957503	Penny?"
mdp.39015063957503	Perhaps he had been shot during the night, or during the previous evening — in that case, what was he doing there?
mdp.39015063957503	Port wine, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	Quiet and close and sharp — them's the sort — eh, Sutton?
mdp.39015063957503	Sad, are n't they?
mdp.39015063957503	Scripcher reader?
mdp.39015063957503	See them?
mdp.39015063957503	See, mister?"
mdp.39015063957503	See?
mdp.39015063957503	See?"
mdp.39015063957503	See?"
mdp.39015063957503	See?"
mdp.39015063957503	Shall I give you the money in notes, ma'am?
mdp.39015063957503	She hasn't gone to bed at this hour, surely?"
mdp.39015063957503	Siege coins, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	So long as Earnshaw did not actually know real facts —''Well?"
mdp.39015063957503	So long as you say something or other you know — what?"
mdp.39015063957503	So, if Mrs. Vanderkiste is at hand, why not speak quietly and gently to her?
mdp.39015063957503	Something wrong, of course?"
mdp.39015063957503	Stay in, Normanstowe, do you hear?
mdp.39015063957503	Stayin* i'these parts, mister?"
mdp.39015063957503	Suppose; — what?"
mdp.39015063957503	Supposing he'd found something out — wrong, eh, with money matters?
mdp.39015063957503	That fellow you saw in my chamber last night — him that was in there, 54—where is he?"
mdp.39015063957503	That is their value, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	That it?"
mdp.39015063957503	That's giving me the 16 hours'start I asked for, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063957503	The Earl, the Warder and the Wayward Heiress 41"Have you noticed anything about this man?"
mdp.39015063957503	The Murder in the Mayor's Parlour 317 my men there in that entry opposite the Bank House; had n't I better tell'em to keep handy?"
mdp.39015063957503	The Secret of the Barbican"Poachers, now?"
mdp.39015063957503	The Selchester Missal 279"What about yesterday — Sunday?"
mdp.39015063957503	The fact is, sir — I do n't think you knew I had a brother — Nelson Linkwater, sir?"
mdp.39015063957503	The woman who makes gowns?"
mdp.39015063957503	Then you must plump him straight out with two questions: Is the woman at Sarklestowe Castle his relative?
mdp.39015063957503	There gen'ally is a woman i'them cases, mister, is n't there?"
mdp.39015063957503	There you are I"278 The Secret of the Barbican"How many people know of the loss up to now?"
mdp.39015063957503	They may have been cathedral property once, and then gone on their travels, as it were, eh?'
mdp.39015063957503	To whom?"
mdp.39015063957503	Under what circumstances?
mdp.39015063957503	Understand?
mdp.39015063957503	Was it he who knew, or had discovered, the secret?
mdp.39015063957503	Was it, after all, a dream?
mdp.39015063957503	Was this set — if it is yours, which, of course, I'm not going to grant, you know, just yet — stolen, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well, he's gone, has n't he?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well, my dear sir, what do you think?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well, now let's see when Ramsdale's Multiplex was advertised — 1901, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	Well, now, where did I get'em?
mdp.39015063957503	Well, what do you want, Copper—-I mean, sir?"
mdp.39015063957503	Well,"he continued, rising and turning to the Chief Constable, as he prepared to lounge out,"same old game, I suppose, eh, Kilburn?
mdp.39015063957503	What are you intending to do now?"
mdp.39015063957503	What did Swale tell you when you met him that night at Blind Gap Moor?
mdp.39015063957503	What did he do with it?
mdp.39015063957503	What do you say, Uncle Solly?"
mdp.39015063957503	What fellow?"
mdp.39015063957503	What if they're after his lordship in the cove?
mdp.39015063957503	What is it — a Caxton?"
mdp.39015063957503	What on earth brings you here, young lady?"
mdp.39015063957503	What on earth's behind it?"
mdp.39015063957503	What was his name?"
mdp.39015063957503	What young woman who is heiress to a quarter of a million would ever look at poor Alfred Penny?"
mdp.39015063957503	What — the heiress?"
mdp.39015063957503	What's that mysterious looking object?"
mdp.39015063957503	What's that scrap of newspaper?"
mdp.39015063957503	What's the theory, then?"
mdp.39015063957503	What's this that you've got to show us?"
mdp.39015063957503	What's your game?
mdp.39015063957503	When do you think of leaving England to start that South African game, Copper?"
mdp.39015063957503	When?
mdp.39015063957503	Where do you suppose your brother got them?"
mdp.39015063957503	Where from?
mdp.39015063957503	Where would it be now, guv'nor?
mdp.39015063957503	Where's the 221st quartered now?"
mdp.39015063957503	Where, I beg you to tell me — where did you get those coins?"
mdp.39015063957503	Who takes me?"
mdp.39015063957503	Who was he, poor Alfred Penny, to stand up and fight the great Ramsdale?
mdp.39015063957503	Who was this man?
mdp.39015063957503	Why all these questions?"
mdp.39015063957503	Why did n't he distribute it to his nephews?
mdp.39015063957503	Why do n't you smoke one of the piratical cigars and do likewise?"
mdp.39015063957503	Why should anyone want to plug that bore with cotton wool?
mdp.39015063957503	Why should the bore have ever been cut through the solid ebony of the staff?
mdp.39015063957503	Why two?"
mdp.39015063957503	Why, at that very moment, was n't half England — the manufacturing England, at any rate — talking about Ramsdale's Multiplex?
mdp.39015063957503	Why, what could Swale have on him that would make anybody go to the length of murder?"
mdp.39015063957503	Will he be all right?"
mdp.39015063957503	Wo n't you be anxious about them?"
mdp.39015063957503	Wot about'i m, guv'nor?"
mdp.39015063957503	Ye see yon little clump o'trees, master — there a't'end o'the farm garden?
mdp.39015063957503	Yes or no?"
mdp.39015063957503	You ai n't ever seen this Terry?
mdp.39015063957503	You are n't conversant with the procedure in this sort of thing, eh?
mdp.39015063957503	You are really off, Normanstowe?"
mdp.39015063957503	You are staying in town?"
mdp.39015063957503	You bear it in mind?
mdp.39015063957503	You consider them valuable, sir?"
mdp.39015063957503	You could n't say more now?"
mdp.39015063957503	You follow your nose'ome, and leave our affairs to us, d'yer see?
mdp.39015063957503	You know — you know Ramsdale's Multiplex?"
mdp.39015063957503	You say he knows nothing?"
mdp.39015063957503	You see how well I treat you?"
mdp.39015063957503	You're not going to take us down there, then?
mdp.39015063957503	he growled,"what are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063957503	he said presently,"about this setting on?"
mdp.39015063957503	she screamed,"is that you?
mdp.39015063957503	who would wish to murder Swale?
mdp.39015030848843	Neat bit of work, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	About how she was killed? mdp.39015030848843 Ah well, that's it, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Ah, what indeed? mdp.39015030848843 All alone, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	All ready, my boy? mdp.39015030848843 All the servants above suspicion?"
mdp.39015030848843	And I shall have my tea, sha n't I?
mdp.39015030848843	And do you think that's to stop me having a doc- tor? mdp.39015030848843 And that is n't reasonable, is it?"
mdp.39015030848843	And this light came on with the rest?
mdp.39015030848843	And what about it? mdp.39015030848843 And what be I to do with un, if you please?"
mdp.39015030848843	And what can we do for Miss Montague?
mdp.39015030848843	And what did you get out of him?
mdp.39015030848843	And what do you suppose happened to him?
mdp.39015030848843	And what do you want to do?
mdp.39015030848843	And what was it?
mdp.39015030848843	And what would Mrs. Garston have been doing up here?
mdp.39015030848843	And who would you say was the criminal that practised on my father?
mdp.39015030848843	And you did n't see any of the others either I suppose?
mdp.39015030848843	And you found her lying here?
mdp.39015030848843	And you?
mdp.39015030848843	Answered, were n't they?
mdp.39015030848843	Any idea what he could have been after?
mdp.39015030848843	Any reason to think somebody had broken into the house?
mdp.39015030848843	Anyone been to see her?
mdp.39015030848843	Anything new at the office, dear- est?
mdp.39015030848843	Anything personal, I mean? mdp.39015030848843 Are we going to have any more of this?"
mdp.39015030848843	Are we going to have anyone who dares to tell the court how my client has been treated by the police?
mdp.39015030848843	Are we going to hear anything about them? mdp.39015030848843 Are you giving us all the help you can?"
mdp.39015030848843	Are you going on with the defence, sir?
mdp.39015030848843	Are you going to say she died naturally?
mdp.39015030848843	Are you?
mdp.39015030848843	Are you?
mdp.39015030848843	As how?
mdp.39015030848843	Bail, of course, sir?
mdp.39015030848843	Because he helped us to- day?
mdp.39015030848843	Beyond you?
mdp.39015030848843	Bit thick in the head, are n't they? mdp.39015030848843 Bound to say that, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	But after — why ever did n't you go away?
mdp.39015030848843	But did you say Miss Morrow had tightened the case up? mdp.39015030848843 But how would they get at you?"
mdp.39015030848843	But not now?
mdp.39015030848843	But she saw him, eh? mdp.39015030848843 But they never say a word about it?"
mdp.39015030848843	But what could there be?
mdp.39015030848843	But what was he there for?
mdp.39015030848843	But where am I, George? mdp.39015030848843 But why should I, my friend?
mdp.39015030848843	But you saw him all the same?
mdp.39015030848843	By the way, where did she come from?
mdp.39015030848843	Ca n't do without'em, can we? mdp.39015030848843 Ca n't make evidence, can you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Can I be of any assistance, my friend?
mdp.39015030848843	Can you walk, miss?
mdp.39015030848843	Can you?
mdp.39015030848843	Can you?
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk's been here?
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk, do you know what happened at the Abbey yesterday?
mdp.39015030848843	Come by train, did he?
mdp.39015030848843	Come on, got any matches?
mdp.39015030848843	Come to give me another tip, Mr. Clunk? mdp.39015030848843 Come to make a statement?"
mdp.39015030848843	Coming up from the ruins, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Confession, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Control yourself, Mother, ca n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Could he? mdp.39015030848843 Cover him up, would n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	D'you mean me?
mdp.39015030848843	Damn it, are you threatening me?
mdp.39015030848843	Damn it, what are burglars after?
mdp.39015030848843	Dark here, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Dead? mdp.39015030848843 Dear me, I wonder what Superintendent Bell will make of it?
mdp.39015030848843	Dear me, am I in the way?
mdp.39015030848843	Dear me, why use foolish language?
mdp.39015030848843	Deny it? mdp.39015030848843 Deuce of a place to be shadowing anyone, ai n't it, sir?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did he ask for my mother?
mdp.39015030848843	Did he know you were looking for me to- day?
mdp.39015030848843	Did he say anything?
mdp.39015030848843	Did he? mdp.39015030848843 Did n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	Did these bright bobbies put you through it?
mdp.39015030848843	Did they get you that way, George?
mdp.39015030848843	Did ye see that?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you find anything which bears on it?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you get a number at Spraymouth?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you happen to notice any of the strangers?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you happen to notice that, my boy?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you have the light on here last night?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you know he's been at the Abbey?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you know him?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you say you saw a boat? mdp.39015030848843 Did you see old Bell's face?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did you tell him he was to be charged in this case?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you tell'em that?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you think I should n't come?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you, though?
mdp.39015030848843	Difficult thing to prove, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't like that, do you?
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't want any nurse, do we?
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't you ever go out anywhere?
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't you know him, Underwood? mdp.39015030848843 Do n't you want him, George?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do they pay as they have it or put it on the bill?
mdp.39015030848843	Do they show it?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you expect anybody will ask about you?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you happen to think it explains Old Man Clunk, George? mdp.39015030848843 Do you know what Harwood's reputation is?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know what I've begun to think, George? mdp.39015030848843 Do you know what my father was working at before he died?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know why that is?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you mean murder?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you mean she's going to die?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you mean somebody came to her room to steal something and did her in?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you mean you're charging him with the murder?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you think I did it?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you think he killed her? mdp.39015030848843 Do you think it was him?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you think she died natural?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you want to have your mother in court asked what she knows about Alfred's death?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you want to know what is wrong with it?
mdp.39015030848843	Does he often walk in the grounds at night?
mdp.39015030848843	Does n't that show 107 108 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE we're making our world better and better, my boy?
mdp.39015030848843	Doing anything to- night?
mdp.39015030848843	Done a bunk? mdp.39015030848843 Done what you liked in the place, have n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Dope?
mdp.39015030848843	Eh, what's that? mdp.39015030848843 Eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Engaged? mdp.39015030848843 Ever come to you in the night before?"
mdp.39015030848843	Expect me to kiss you when you interfere with my inquiries?
mdp.39015030848843	Filthy dirty business about this girl, is n't it? mdp.39015030848843 Fit for anything, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Folkestone, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Forcing things a bit, are n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Garstons?
mdp.39015030848843	Get you on the sore place?
mdp.39015030848843	Gets you guessing, do n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Getting a bit thick, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Gladys, have you?
mdp.39015030848843	Going back to town, sir?
mdp.39015030848843	Going there?
mdp.39015030848843	Going to prove that? mdp.39015030848843 Good jobs take a bit of finding in your line?
mdp.39015030848843	Got round you, did he?
mdp.39015030848843	Got you where he wants you, has n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	Has he been like that often?
mdp.39015030848843	Has she been saying anything?
mdp.39015030848843	Has she had any — er — any communication with anyone?
mdp.39015030848843	Has she heard of this case?
mdp.39015030848843	Have I? mdp.39015030848843 Have I?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have they been with you long?
mdp.39015030848843	Have you any idea how my father died?
mdp.39015030848843	Have you any money?
mdp.39015030848843	Have you been resting?
mdp.39015030848843	Have you got a bar here?
mdp.39015030848843	Have you got in- formation Harwood was here last night?
mdp.39015030848843	Have you tried any of the other servants at identifying him?
mdp.39015030848843	He was kept in London two nights and one day before a charge was made?
mdp.39015030848843	Here, was she?
mdp.39015030848843	How are you, sir?
mdp.39015030848843	How can I tell?
mdp.39015030848843	How can I: Why?
mdp.39015030848843	How could I?
mdp.39015030848843	How could you?
mdp.39015030848843	How did it go?
mdp.39015030848843	How did you know?
mdp.39015030848843	How did you mean it was queer? mdp.39015030848843 How did you think of taking it now?"
mdp.39015030848843	How do you do, Miss Dean?
mdp.39015030848843	How do you do? mdp.39015030848843 How do you know who he is?
mdp.39015030848843	How do you mean, too late?
mdp.39015030848843	How do you mean? mdp.39015030848843 How do you mean?"
mdp.39015030848843	How do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	How do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	How do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	How is it going to help him to get Harwood pinched?
mdp.39015030848843	How should I know?
mdp.39015030848843	How should I know?
mdp.39015030848843	How the devil could I?
mdp.39015030848843	How the devil should I know?
mdp.39015030848843	How was it done?
mdp.39015030848843	How was she killed?
mdp.39015030848843	I consulted my mother's solicitor"Who is he?
mdp.39015030848843	I like that, do n't you, Lewis?
mdp.39015030848843	I say — do you care for a private job?
mdp.39015030848843	I say, Clunk, on the square — are you inside this?
mdp.39015030848843	I say, baby, have you got the idea there's something on her mind?
mdp.39015030848843	I say, have the servants been nasty?
mdp.39015030848843	I say, you mean Bell's worrying at it still?
mdp.39015030848843	I sup- pose Lord Croyland did n't happen to mention him?
mdp.39015030848843	I suppose it would have been valuable then?
mdp.39015030848843	I suppose she felt ill and was coming to you and had a stroke, what?
mdp.39015030848843	I suppose there was a good deal of telephoning?
mdp.39015030848843	I suppose you've looked over the servants?
mdp.39015030848843	I want to go everywhere and see every- one, understand? mdp.39015030848843 I'm so glad of the sea, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	If you are n't trying to run away, what are you trying to do?
mdp.39015030848843	If you knew Croyland was bolting, why did n't you tell us?
mdp.39015030848843	Inside the house? mdp.39015030848843 Is Miss Dean in?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is anyone else gone?
mdp.39015030848843	Is he indeed?
mdp.39015030848843	Is he really? mdp.39015030848843 Is he though?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is it indeed?
mdp.39015030848843	Is it really?
mdp.39015030848843	Is n't it? mdp.39015030848843 Is n't there?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is she staying in a nice quiet place?
mdp.39015030848843	Is that Jenks? mdp.39015030848843 Is that all you found?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is that all?
mdp.39015030848843	Is that all?
mdp.39015030848843	Is that important — a new discovery?
mdp.39015030848843	Is that so?
mdp.39015030848843	Is that true, Inspector?
mdp.39015030848843	Is there anyone in your blessed hotel who knows any- body?
mdp.39015030848843	Is there anything else for me?
mdp.39015030848843	Is there anything in the paper, Joshua?
mdp.39015030848843	Is this the lady? mdp.39015030848843 It did n't,"Croyland grunted, and then with a sud- den ferocity,"Who do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	It was n't seeing you, was it?
mdp.39015030848843	It was n't your name?
mdp.39015030848843	It's better not, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Knew I'd be here, did n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Know anything about that, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Late, is n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	Leaving them out — were you serving many last week?
mdp.39015030848843	Like it, baby?
mdp.39015030848843	Like to search me?
mdp.39015030848843	Look here though — if she was killed to get some- thing in her room, why was she killed up in the arch- way?
mdp.39015030848843	Look here — do you mind tellin'me just what you heard about it at the time?
mdp.39015030848843	Look here, do you feel it's rotten of me to keep you talking?
mdp.39015030848843	Look here, what about somebody from outside the jolly old place? mdp.39015030848843 Looks like a burglar, does n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Looks like a nasty case, do n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Lord Croyland was practically compelled to tell you so, was n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	Lots of people you know vanish, what?
mdp.39015030848843	Lying good and hard, was n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	Lying right across the floor, was she?
mdp.39015030848843	Makes you think, does n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Me? mdp.39015030848843 Me?"
mdp.39015030848843	Me?
mdp.39015030848843	Meaning Mr. Wisberry? mdp.39015030848843 Meaning me?"
mdp.39015030848843	Miss Dean? mdp.39015030848843 Miss Dean?"
mdp.39015030848843	Miss Hurst? mdp.39015030848843 Money lender, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Mr. Joshua Clunk's a friend of yours, is he? mdp.39015030848843 Mrs. Garston had letters of the same kind?"
mdp.39015030848843	Mrs. Garston — how was she killed?
mdp.39015030848843	Mrs. Garston's health been getting worse lately?
mdp.39015030848843	My dear friend, have I disturbed a little trap of yours?
mdp.39015030848843	My good friend, were you talking about my intentions? mdp.39015030848843 My poor fellow, ca n't you see it keeps them safe and shuts your mouth?"
mdp.39015030848843	Never been there again?
mdp.39015030848843	Nice people to live with, are n't they?
mdp.39015030848843	No other reason?
mdp.39015030848843	No use starving the little system, what?
mdp.39015030848843	Not a new one, I hope, my boy?
mdp.39015030848843	Not a row?
mdp.39015030848843	Not so easy, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Not the car?
mdp.39015030848843	Not yet, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Nothing new happened here, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Now how would you put it, my friend?
mdp.39015030848843	Now what is the charge against Benson?
mdp.39015030848843	Now where are we?
mdp.39015030848843	Now, Mr. Wisberry, what were you doing down here?
mdp.39015030848843	Now, my dear, may I drive you back to the Abbey?
mdp.39015030848843	Now, my lad, do you get many of the visitors taking a drink in the evening?
mdp.39015030848843	Nurse — and patient? mdp.39015030848843 Oh, I?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, Mr. Clunk, is it?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, did you? mdp.39015030848843 Oh, had there?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, have n't they said anything about that?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, is n't there?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, really, do you think so?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, really?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, really?
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, the jewels were pinched for the sake of the letters, were they? mdp.39015030848843 Oh, you can get into this exclusive pub without an introduction?"
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, you need n't go, need you?
mdp.39015030848843	Old Man Clunk?
mdp.39015030848843	Old lady got on your nerves?
mdp.39015030848843	One would so like to punish her, would n't one? mdp.39015030848843 Open to the public?"
mdp.39015030848843	Our Dr. Eves is keeping well out of this, is n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	Pal of yours?
mdp.39015030848843	Police?
mdp.39015030848843	Pretty, is n't it, George?
mdp.39015030848843	Putting it on the nurse? mdp.39015030848843 Quite embarrassing, is n't it, George?"
mdp.39015030848843	Really, Tony, if you wo n't choose to believe me, why ask? mdp.39015030848843 Really?"
mdp.39015030848843	Regular hotel thief, is he?
mdp.39015030848843	Remember him — in the old days, Gunn? mdp.39015030848843 Sails pretty near the wind too, do n't he?"
mdp.39015030848843	Saw the gentleman with me took a cab just now? mdp.39015030848843 Seen any ghosts, baby?"
mdp.39015030848843	Sent'em to bed bright and early, did n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Shall I ever see you again?
mdp.39015030848843	She did n't like your being here, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	She has n't said anything then?
mdp.39015030848843	She has, has n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	She ran down to the hard, eh? mdp.39015030848843 She was dead when you reached her?"
mdp.39015030848843	Should I?
mdp.39015030848843	Show me Mrs. Gar- ston's room and yours, will you?
mdp.39015030848843	Smell something though, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	So did I. I say — you're all right here?
mdp.39015030848843	So you feel no suspicion of Harwood?
mdp.39015030848843	Somebody here telephoned Harwood after the murder?
mdp.39015030848843	Something you'd swear to, or suspicions?
mdp.39015030848843	Staying on?
mdp.39015030848843	Stinks, I suppose, does n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Strictly private, is it? mdp.39015030848843 Superintendent Bell?
mdp.39015030848843	Sweet kid, is n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	Take it I know that, ca n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Talk about being embarrassed by riches, do n't they? mdp.39015030848843 Tea?"
mdp.39015030848843	Tell me, is that true?
mdp.39015030848843	That broke his nerve, you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	That hits you, do n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	That is odd, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	That she did n't like me? mdp.39015030848843 That was pretty queer too, was n't it, the way he died — if he did die?"
mdp.39015030848843	That's only silly, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	That's the explanation of that, is it? mdp.39015030848843 That's the stuff to give the troops, what?"
mdp.39015030848843	The Garstons? mdp.39015030848843 The Lord Croyland's handed that out, has he?"
mdp.39015030848843	The lamp? mdp.39015030848843 The maid has, has n't she?"
mdp.39015030848843	The other end of the case is the Garstons?
mdp.39015030848843	The trouble is, what started the busi- ness? mdp.39015030848843 The what?"
mdp.39015030848843	Then what do you suppose Clunk's up to?
mdp.39015030848843	Then why in hell do you come here?
mdp.39015030848843	Theory too, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Theory, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	There is a claim, is there?
mdp.39015030848843	There were other people — without cars — who went away after the case was stolen? mdp.39015030848843 Think not?
mdp.39015030848843	Think so?
mdp.39015030848843	Time to change, is n't it? mdp.39015030848843 Too easy, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Trained nurse, I suppose?
mdp.39015030848843	Two?
mdp.39015030848843	Very clever, was n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Very nice for'em, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Wait downstairs for him, will you?
mdp.39015030848843	Want an answer, do you?
mdp.39015030848843	Want her in here?
mdp.39015030848843	Want me to be civil? mdp.39015030848843 Was he?
mdp.39015030848843	Was it Mrs. Garston's voice that cried?
mdp.39015030848843	Was it?
mdp.39015030848843	Was she alive when ye came to her?
mdp.39015030848843	Was she ill?
mdp.39015030848843	Was that the office, Joshua?
mdp.39015030848843	We are getting a lot of stuff, are n't we?
mdp.39015030848843	We are n't going to London then?
mdp.39015030848843	We did n't make much of that, did we?
mdp.39015030848843	We do go together, do n't we, baby? mdp.39015030848843 Well liked, is she?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well what?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, I'm going to search the grounds — just in case, see?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, Miss Dean, I hope they've made you comfort- able?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, Tony, how have things gone with you?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, how's it going? mdp.39015030848843 Well, how's things?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well, my friend, did n't you think it was rather odd Superintendent Bell should take a lot of trouble over this tuppenny ha'penny lot of jewels?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, shall we talk about it here?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what about a spot of coffee? mdp.39015030848843 Well, what about a spot of lunch?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what about it? mdp.39015030848843 Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what are we going to do about it?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what do you mean to do?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what do you suppose has become of her?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what is the truth about last night?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what it comes to is, you ca n't think how it happened?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what was he like?
mdp.39015030848843	Well, when do we join up again?
mdp.39015030848843	Well?
mdp.39015030848843	Well?
mdp.39015030848843	Well?
mdp.39015030848843	Well?
mdp.39015030848843	Were you going to get our car, my boy?
mdp.39015030848843	Were you going to tell me what you think of things, George?
mdp.39015030848843	What about a spot of poison? mdp.39015030848843 What about it?
mdp.39015030848843	What about it?
mdp.39015030848843	What about some whist? mdp.39015030848843 What about the window of the room?"
mdp.39015030848843	What are you doing? mdp.39015030848843 What are you getting at?"
mdp.39015030848843	What are you getting at?
mdp.39015030848843	What are you saying? mdp.39015030848843 What are you suggesting now?"
mdp.39015030848843	What can I do for you?
mdp.39015030848843	What case?
mdp.39015030848843	What chemist?
mdp.39015030848843	What could there be? mdp.39015030848843 What did he say to you?"
mdp.39015030848843	What did she say?
mdp.39015030848843	What did the nurse do?
mdp.39015030848843	What did you go into it for, if there was no money in it?
mdp.39015030848843	What did you think of doing, old man?
mdp.39015030848843	What did you think of getting on to first?
mdp.39015030848843	What did you want to know?
mdp.39015030848843	What did your doctor say about the old lady, George?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you make of that?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean, there'd been a struggle?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean? mdp.39015030848843 What do you mean?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you take me for?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you think about that, George?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you think of a casual stranger strolling upstairs?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you think the police evidence is like?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you think your constable was killed for last night? mdp.39015030848843 What do you think?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you want him for?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you want me for?
mdp.39015030848843	What do you want me to believe, then? mdp.39015030848843 What do you want to tell me?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you want?
mdp.39015030848843	What does it matter about reasons? mdp.39015030848843 What exactly are you giving us?"
mdp.39015030848843	What has been done about here, my friend?
mdp.39015030848843	What have you done to her, Nurse?
mdp.39015030848843	What have you got to tell me?
mdp.39015030848843	What if I did?
mdp.39015030848843	What is he doing here then?
mdp.39015030848843	What is it?
mdp.39015030848843	What is n't it? mdp.39015030848843 What is the last news of Croyland?"
mdp.39015030848843	What is the matter?
mdp.39015030848843	What kind?
mdp.39015030848843	What name?
mdp.39015030848843	What sort of jewels were they?
mdp.39015030848843	What the devil do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What the devil do you want now?
mdp.39015030848843	What was in them?
mdp.39015030848843	What was it all about?
mdp.39015030848843	What will I tell him?
mdp.39015030848843	What's Gracie been telling you?
mdp.39015030848843	What's doing?
mdp.39015030848843	What's he trying to do, fly the country?
mdp.39015030848843	What's he up to down here?
mdp.39015030848843	What's that?
mdp.39015030848843	What's the good of it though?
mdp.39015030848843	What's the good of saying that? mdp.39015030848843 What's the great idea?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's the hope?
mdp.39015030848843	What's the idea? mdp.39015030848843 What's the joke?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's the matter with you?
mdp.39015030848843	What's up now, sir?
mdp.39015030848843	What's wrong with it?
mdp.39015030848843	What's your idea about it?
mdp.39015030848843	What's your next move?
mdp.39015030848843	What's your point?
mdp.39015030848843	What, again?
mdp.39015030848843	What, again?
mdp.39015030848843	What, have they pinched her?
mdp.39015030848843	What, in that field?
mdp.39015030848843	What, seeing Croyland?
mdp.39015030848843	What, the crooks'solicitor?
mdp.39015030848843	What, you do n't think Clunk was in this?
mdp.39015030848843	What? mdp.39015030848843 What?"
mdp.39015030848843	What?
mdp.39015030848843	What?
mdp.39015030848843	When did you find him, my lad?
mdp.39015030848843	When did you know?
mdp.39015030848843	When is it? mdp.39015030848843 When's Miss Morrow going?
mdp.39015030848843	Where are we getting to? mdp.39015030848843 Where are we going, Gus?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where are you getting to?
mdp.39015030848843	Where is he?
mdp.39015030848843	Where is ours, Lewis?
mdp.39015030848843	Where is this son, Harwood? mdp.39015030848843 Where should she go?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where would you like to go now?
mdp.39015030848843	Where's that? mdp.39015030848843 Which?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who are you?
mdp.39015030848843	Who brought you down?
mdp.39015030848843	Who is he anyway?
mdp.39015030848843	Who is this chap Harwood anyway?
mdp.39015030848843	Who is your dear old friend, sir?
mdp.39015030848843	Who is?
mdp.39015030848843	Who says she was drugged?
mdp.39015030848843	Who was in it? mdp.39015030848843 Who was it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who was the poor fellow, do you know?
mdp.39015030848843	Who was your father?
mdp.39015030848843	Who's murdered?
mdp.39015030848843	Who's talking about dying?
mdp.39015030848843	Who's talking about paying me? mdp.39015030848843 Who's that?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who's your man?
mdp.39015030848843	Why did n't he come to the police?
mdp.39015030848843	Why did you come here?
mdp.39015030848843	Why did you stay here? mdp.39015030848843 Why did you stay on in this little place?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why fuss?
mdp.39015030848843	Why not call me Nurse?
mdp.39015030848843	Why not see me?
mdp.39015030848843	Why not?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should he go a jaunt in a car because he killed his mother? mdp.39015030848843 Why should she go to Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why should she run away?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should we think anything opened there?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should you think?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should you?
mdp.39015030848843	Why talk so much?
mdp.39015030848843	Why will you rush on so? mdp.39015030848843 Why, what did he do?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why? mdp.39015030848843 Why?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why?
mdp.39015030848843	Why?
mdp.39015030848843	Will you have a fruit drop?
mdp.39015030848843	Wisberry? mdp.39015030848843 Work a bluff on him?"
mdp.39015030848843	Worries his bones, does n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	Worse than usual, was it?
mdp.39015030848843	Would it surprise you to hear he was told things would be easy for him if he could help the police to recover the jewel case?
mdp.39015030848843	Would you be- lieve it? mdp.39015030848843 Would you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Yes, but what was he like to look at?
mdp.39015030848843	Yes, who would that be?
mdp.39015030848843	Yes? mdp.39015030848843 You deny that?"
mdp.39015030848843	You did tell him so?
mdp.39015030848843	You do n't know what happened last night, Tony?
mdp.39015030848843	You do n't mean Grade?
mdp.39015030848843	You engaged the nurse yourself, did n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	You had n't gone to bed?
mdp.39015030848843	You had n't heard any noise before?
mdp.39015030848843	You have n't missed anything in your mother's room?
mdp.39015030848843	You know a lot, do n't you, Mr. Clunk? mdp.39015030848843 You know him, do you?
mdp.39015030848843	You know what I said to myself as he went on? mdp.39015030848843 You like it?"
mdp.39015030848843	You look after Gracie, will you?
mdp.39015030848843	You mean some- body breaking in? mdp.39015030848843 You mean they'll suspect me?"
mdp.39015030848843	You see what I mean, my lord?
mdp.39015030848843	You silly fellow, how can you say so? mdp.39015030848843 You stick to it, Mr. Clunk, this is a genuine claim?"
mdp.39015030848843	You think Croyland's keeping something back?
mdp.39015030848843	You think it's that? mdp.39015030848843 You think so, do you?
mdp.39015030848843	You thought it was impor- tant? mdp.39015030848843 You'd be at the telephone?"
mdp.39015030848843	You'll carve for'e, Muster Wisberry?
mdp.39015030848843	You're Clunk& Clunk, are n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	You're after him?
mdp.39015030848843	You're following Clunk? mdp.39015030848843 You're playing dirty, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	You're putting it on Croyland and the nurse?
mdp.39015030848843	You're thinking of Clunk?
mdp.39015030848843	You've had a nice bit of fun with us, have n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	You've seen some things in your life, have n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Your blufPs not going too well, is it?
mdp.39015030848843	Your good landlord?
mdp.39015030848843	114 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"Who are you acting for, anyway?"
mdp.39015030848843	128 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"Meaning he arranged it?
mdp.39015030848843	168 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"A burglar?"
mdp.39015030848843	172 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"Why do n't you want his solicitor to be with him?"
mdp.39015030848843	2 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"Smug little cat, ai n't he?"
mdp.39015030848843	246 DISAPPOINTMENT OF MR. CLUNK 247"What are you giving me?
mdp.39015030848843	262 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"You mean to say Croyland left Bradstock last night?"
mdp.39015030848843	84 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"Down here?"
mdp.39015030848843	? F.
mdp.39015030848843	?"
mdp.39015030848843	A scene at dinner?
mdp.39015030848843	A sort of burglary?
mdp.39015030848843	AFTER LUNCH I73"Why does a man ask a girl to meet him?"
mdp.39015030848843	Ah, what's that?"
mdp.39015030848843	Ai n't you got no decency?"
mdp.39015030848843	Alfred told you he'd been murdered?
mdp.39015030848843	Always bob- bing up, are n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Always hand out that stuff, do n't they?
mdp.39015030848843	Am I charged with blackmail?"
mdp.39015030848843	And after the police found you did n't know him when you saw him, they told you you must remember something?
mdp.39015030848843	And again Bell asked,"Why?"
mdp.39015030848843	And how does Clunk know we've got Billy before Billy's had a chance to ask for a solicitor?
mdp.39015030848843	And it all happens What the devil's that?"
mdp.39015030848843	And they took Benson to the Yard?
mdp.39015030848843	And those were the letters in the jewel case which was stolen?"
mdp.39015030848843	And what could there be about that business now?
mdp.39015030848843	And what exactly was the crime?"
mdp.39015030848843	And what have you come for?"
mdp.39015030848843	And what made Old Man Clunk pay my mother double her right income?
mdp.39015030848843	And what might you want here, sir?"
mdp.39015030848843	And what were you asked?
mdp.39015030848843	And when the prisoner went, did you see him taking the jewel case?"
mdp.39015030848843	And where does Josh come in himself?
mdp.39015030848843	And where might you be going in such a hurry?"
mdp.39015030848843	And why are you?
mdp.39015030848843	And why is Clunk working in with Mr. Wisberry?
mdp.39015030848843	And why should he choose to come when Lord Croyland was n't there?
mdp.39015030848843	And why should he come into the house?
mdp.39015030848843	And why suddenly?
mdp.39015030848843	And why's he gone?"
mdp.39015030848843	And you want to have Mr. Clunk with you as your solicitor when I ask you for information about a murder?"
mdp.39015030848843	Any news?"
mdp.39015030848843	Any objection?"
mdp.39015030848843	Any reason to think he had a son?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anyhow — who was it she met in the archway?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anyone else in the house?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anyone who is in it can have covered his tracks""What have you done?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything I can do for you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything I can do?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything about his intentions?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything else to bring out?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything go wrong?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything said?"
mdp.39015030848843	Anything wrong with her?"
mdp.39015030848843	Are you much hurt?"
mdp.39015030848843	Are you quite sure of your facts?"
mdp.39015030848843	Are you staying?"
mdp.39015030848843	As soon as I felt for her pulse, it was n't there, she was n't breath-"How long was it from when you heard the cry to when you reached her?"
mdp.39015030848843	BRADSTOCK ABBEY 41 Where did you see it from?"
mdp.39015030848843	Because he wrote and asked her to?
mdp.39015030848843	Before all this happened — how did you leave her last night?
mdp.39015030848843	Beginning with plaintive questions why had the doctor been brought?
mdp.39015030848843	Being old?
mdp.39015030848843	Benedictine for baby?
mdp.39015030848843	Besides, who told you he was n't let in?"
mdp.39015030848843	Breaking up the happy home?"
mdp.39015030848843	But I'm afraid Mr. Bell has never yet been able to — eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	But May had come back — come back urgently labour- ing at her problem: why was the murder done in the archway?
mdp.39015030848843	But do we forgive them?
mdp.39015030848843	But have you considered how the case would work out if you let it come into court?
mdp.39015030848843	But he wo n't talk without Clunk, will he?"
mdp.39015030848843	But how could he stand to gain by putting Mrs. Garston out of the way?"
mdp.39015030848843	But how could it be worth anyone's while to run the risk?
mdp.39015030848843	But how did he know?
mdp.39015030848843	But look here, my child, suppos- AFTER LUNCH 159 ing she was coming to you, who met her on the way?"
mdp.39015030848843	But the resemblance to a skull was increased as he looked at Mr. Clunk, and he said with some truculence,"What's the game?"
mdp.39015030848843	But then why should she meddle with the nurse?
mdp.39015030848843	But then — don't you see? — we're up against this.
mdp.39015030848843	But we were wondering, were n't we?
mdp.39015030848843	But what about Josh Clunk?
mdp.39015030848843	But what brought Mrs. Garston there?
mdp.39015030848843	But what did you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	But what do you make of that?"
mdp.39015030848843	But what for?
mdp.39015030848843	But what game could there be?
mdp.39015030848843	But what he chirped was:"Shall we meet?
mdp.39015030848843	But what was she doing up there?
mdp.39015030848843	But why did Old Man Clunk sweat to keep me quiet?"
mdp.39015030848843	But why did you put me on to the secretary?
mdp.39015030848843	But why let it out?
mdp.39015030848843	But why should he go and kill the constable?
mdp.39015030848843	But why, my boy, why?"
mdp.39015030848843	But you can tell me whether they could be of any value to the prisoner?"
mdp.39015030848843	By the way, were you meaning to go through Croyland again?"
mdp.39015030848843	By the way, where's Josh got to?
mdp.39015030848843	By the way, you have n't your own car, have you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Ca n't you see he did?"
mdp.39015030848843	Can I do you a bit o'good?
mdp.39015030848843	Can you explain that?"
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Clunk?"
mdp.39015030848843	Croy- land had the firm and everything in his hands — why should he want Alfred dead?"
mdp.39015030848843	Croyland grunted,"Sit down, will you?
mdp.39015030848843	Croyland went solemnly across the room and asked how Fanny was, and Fanny's moaning voice echoed,"How are you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Croyland, will you be stepping downstairs?
mdp.39015030848843	Curious, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did any policeman question you again after the identi- fication failed?
mdp.39015030848843	Did it contain anything besides jewellery?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did jolly well in the time, what?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't I tell you she was always vicious with my poor lamb?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't happen to ask him who Mr. Benson's friends might be, did you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't know the fellow?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't you know?
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't you know?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't you never learn no respect?
mdp.39015030848843	Did n't you notice he's always had his nose down after those letters?
mdp.39015030848843	Did she ever get up o'nights before?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did the boat come into the hard?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did you make anything of Billy Bones?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did you say I was putting it on Croyland and the nurse?
mdp.39015030848843	Did you see Lord Croyland's secretary?"
mdp.39015030848843	Did you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Dirty, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do I stay out there for ever?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't mean you want to go?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't mind my troubling you, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't that mean somebody wants to get rid of evidence about Alfred Garston?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't you know him either?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do n't you perceive, my friend?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you believe Garstons got it from Wisberry's father?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you happen to have heard anything about the case?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you happen to know if Benson has been working alone lately?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know anything about that?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know her?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know what bothers me?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you know why it gave her such a turn finding herself here again?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you mean at the Abbey?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you suppose Clunk contrived your father's murder in order to sell the process for himself?
mdp.39015030848843	Do you suppose he had a liking for Alfred all the time?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you think it will be?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015030848843	Do you?
mdp.39015030848843	Does he look satis- fied?"
mdp.39015030848843	Does she talk much, baby?"
mdp.39015030848843	Eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Ever seen it?
mdp.39015030848843	Found anything to go back to?"
mdp.39015030848843	Found anything?"
mdp.39015030848843	Funny, was n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Garston's?"
mdp.39015030848843	Garston?"
mdp.39015030848843	Garston?"
mdp.39015030848843	Garston?"
mdp.39015030848843	Gasper?
mdp.39015030848843	Get her back to her room, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Girl's not in here, is she?
mdp.39015030848843	Given yourself away, have n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Gladys, what is it about him?
mdp.39015030848843	Got something up your old sleeve, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Great Jimmy, what do you take me for?
mdp.39015030848843	Gunn?"
mdp.39015030848843	Had Gunn any news?
mdp.39015030848843	Had they found a trace of someone getting in?
mdp.39015030848843	Hard as they make'em, was n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	Has n't he told you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Has she ever had anything dreadful happen to her?"
mdp.39015030848843	Has she got worse?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have these bright boys thought of that?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you been able to decide on anything yet?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you been here all the time?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you ever seen the prisoner before?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you got on to what's worrying her?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you picked up anything in the hotel yet?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you read my letters?"
mdp.39015030848843	Have you see him?"
mdp.39015030848843	He came to heel sharp when I talked about duty, did n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	He had a good memory for faces?
mdp.39015030848843	He is the devil and all, is n't he?
mdp.39015030848843	He locked it up and lay back and murmured in very slow time:"Oh, what are you going to do, brother?
mdp.39015030848843	He stared back defiance at Crop- land's sullen, resolute eyes and his chin came out, and imitating Croyland he said,"Well?"
mdp.39015030848843	He tripped off humming another verse of that same interrogatory hymn:"Oh, what are you going to do, brother?
mdp.39015030848843	He would n't be here, would he?"
mdp.39015030848843	Heard anything about the man that shot the policeman?"
mdp.39015030848843	Heard him purring at me, did n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	How about that for a theory?"
mdp.39015030848843	How about that?"
mdp.39015030848843	How are you?
mdp.39015030848843	How are you?"
mdp.39015030848843	How can you expect to know anything if you wo n't take the simplest, obvious measures?
mdp.39015030848843	How could he?
mdp.39015030848843	How could it have happened?
mdp.39015030848843	How did he die, Gladys?"
mdp.39015030848843	How did he get on to it?
mdp.39015030848843	How did he know?
mdp.39015030848843	How did he manage that?"
mdp.39015030848843	How did it come on her?
mdp.39015030848843	How did she come here?"
mdp.39015030848843	How did this happen?"
mdp.39015030848843	How did ye find her?"
mdp.39015030848843	How did you know?"
mdp.39015030848843	How do you get on with the old lady?"
mdp.39015030848843	How do you start?"
mdp.39015030848843	How long had she known Mr. Wisberry?
mdp.39015030848843	How long have these people had it?"
mdp.39015030848843	How long is it since we were on that Garston affair together?
mdp.39015030848843	How often had she met him at the Abbey?
mdp.39015030848843	How old is she, Gladys?
mdp.39015030848843	How should I know?
mdp.39015030848843	How the devil should she be dead?"
mdp.39015030848843	How was that?"
mdp.39015030848843	How's that strike you, baby?
mdp.39015030848843	How's things?"
mdp.39015030848843	How's things?"
mdp.39015030848843	How?"
mdp.39015030848843	How?"
mdp.39015030848843	I do n't look very terrific, what?"
mdp.39015030848843	I know nothing, see?
mdp.39015030848843	I pointed out to you long ago the central point is, what had Harwood dis- covered which is dangerous to Croyland?
mdp.39015030848843	I reckon you'd like to know what was in the old girl's letters?"
mdp.39015030848843	I said, who asked you to come into it?"
mdp.39015030848843	I say, did n't you know there was another mur- der down here last night?
mdp.39015030848843	I say, do you mind my asking you, are you one of the family?"
mdp.39015030848843	I say, do you mind telling me your name?"
mdp.39015030848843	I say, do you mind telling me, have I come to the wrong door?"
mdp.39015030848843	I say, do you think there's going to be more trouble?"
mdp.39015030848843	I say, how's the money going, baby?"
mdp.39015030848843	I suppose he did n't let out how he came to be looking for you as soon as the stuff was taken?"
mdp.39015030848843	I understand that Alfred had other troubles, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	I wonder how much she ever knew?"
mdp.39015030848843	I""What on earth should I take?"
mdp.39015030848843	I'll take Gracie for a bit of a honeymoon, what?"
mdp.39015030848843	I40 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE"What time was that?"
mdp.39015030848843	If that do n't mean they're all in it together, what does it mean?"
mdp.39015030848843	If the job had been done somewhere else, why should anyone choose that place to dump the body?
mdp.39015030848843	If the old rascal only meant to turn him down why see him at all?
mdp.39015030848843	If we knew who did stand to gain we'd know something, would n't we?
mdp.39015030848843	If you could n't think of something else about Mr. Herbert?
mdp.39015030848843	If you do n't know who was after the stuff, how should I?
mdp.39015030848843	If you want it straight, what do you stand to gain?"
mdp.39015030848843	If you wanted to know where she was going, why did n't you ask her?
mdp.39015030848843	Is it a large firm?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is n't that a pity?
mdp.39015030848843	Is n't that the doc- tor who gave evidence in the Alfred Garston inquest?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is that quite clear?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is that right?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is that so?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is that the idea?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is that what you told Superintendent Bell?"
mdp.39015030848843	Is this Bradstock Abbey?"
mdp.39015030848843	It's not a blackmail job?"
mdp.39015030848843	It's not much in your line, is it?
mdp.39015030848843	Just a hiding place, or kind o'strong room or something?"
mdp.39015030848843	Just an accidental death, was n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Just finished at Cambridge, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Know it again, wo n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Let's take it another way, do you mind?
mdp.39015030848843	Like old times, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Like to have a try?
mdp.39015030848843	Liking the jolly old place?"
mdp.39015030848843	Looking after an invalid?"
mdp.39015030848843	Looks a bit young, do n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	Looks queer, does n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Lord, it is nasty, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Makes you feel a brute, do n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Matter of twenty years?"
mdp.39015030848843	May I share your lunch?"
mdp.39015030848843	Met the boat, hmph?
mdp.39015030848843	Might do for a bit, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Might fit with the gent who wrote to the nurse, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	More, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Mother living?"
mdp.39015030848843	Mr. Clunk shot up and snapped:"What happened to him there?"
mdp.39015030848843	Mrs. Garston come back to say she is n't dead?"
mdp.39015030848843	Mrs. Garston fidgeted and in a little while her plaintive voice cut into May's toiling talk:"Fanny dear, could n't you play some- thing?"
mdp.39015030848843	Must you go now?
mdp.39015030848843	My dear boy, what ever are you doing here?"
mdp.39015030848843	My dear friend, are you in any way acquainted with Mr. Gordon Har- wood?"
mdp.39015030848843	Never heard of it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Never seen him till he came to the Abbey?
mdp.39015030848843	No joy like work, is there?
mdp.39015030848843	No light anywhere till then?"
mdp.39015030848843	No?
mdp.39015030848843	Nobody ever regretted doing that, I be- lieve, eh, Lewis?"
mdp.39015030848843	Not consulted anyone?"
mdp.39015030848843	Not convenient for the police?
mdp.39015030848843	Nothing I can do for you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Nothing's gone, is there?"
mdp.39015030848843	Now what about motive?
mdp.39015030848843	Now where's your room?"
mdp.39015030848843	Now why should you think Lord Croyland murdered her?
mdp.39015030848843	Now, I hope you've made it possible, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Now, I put it to you, is there anything Harwood could be nasty about?"
mdp.39015030848843	Now, to begin with, can I take it you know who I am?"
mdp.39015030848843	Now, when you came to gather up what he left, how much was it?"
mdp.39015030848843	ON THE ROAD 133"How could you?"
mdp.39015030848843	ON THE ROAD 135"And what can we do for you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Oh dear me, can I get down there?"
mdp.39015030848843	Oh —"she stamped her foot—"do you think I'd be here if I believed that?"
mdp.39015030848843	Oh, Miss Dean, did you see the boat?
mdp.39015030848843	Only just found that out?
mdp.39015030848843	Only that once?
mdp.39015030848843	Or was it INVESTIGATIONS AT THE ABBEY 237 darkened for the murder to be done?
mdp.39015030848843	Persistent beggar, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Points Croyland's way, do n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Pretty mixed, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	Rather silly of him, was n't it, Lewis?"
mdp.39015030848843	Remember him burbling about the personality of Alfred Garston?"
mdp.39015030848843	Remembered everybody who came to the hotel?
mdp.39015030848843	Say, what are you going to do?
mdp.39015030848843	Say, what are you going to do?"
mdp.39015030848843	See what I mean?
mdp.39015030848843	See?"
mdp.39015030848843	See?"
mdp.39015030848843	See?"
mdp.39015030848843	See?"
mdp.39015030848843	Seventy something?"
mdp.39015030848843	Shall we meet beyond the river Where the surges cease to roll?"
mdp.39015030848843	Shall we meet beyond the river?
mdp.39015030848843	Shall we meet?
mdp.39015030848843	She was strangled?
mdp.39015030848843	She's still keeping it up, what?"
mdp.39015030848843	So Tony Wisberry saw her, and what he said was:"Who the devil would that be?"
mdp.39015030848843	So where are we?"
mdp.39015030848843	So you like nursing, do you?
mdp.39015030848843	Some letters which you valued very much?"
mdp.39015030848843	Some of them went away at this suspicious moment?"
mdp.39015030848843	Some time ago, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	Someone who could do rough work, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	Something that had to be hidden there that night of the murder?—something more than the body?
mdp.39015030848843	Surely you do n't suppose I have been trying to run away from you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Surely you have noticed that?"
mdp.39015030848843	TONYLANDS 85"How are you?"
mdp.39015030848843	That he died by accident somehow?"
mdp.39015030848843	That was why you offered such a large reward?"
mdp.39015030848843	That would be all right?
mdp.39015030848843	That's significant, is n't it?
mdp.39015030848843	That's the idea, eh?"
mdp.39015030848843	That's very significant, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030848843	The idea is, she's Harwood's woman, is n't she, put in to help him blackmail Croyland over Alfred?
mdp.39015030848843	The lamp, my friend?
mdp.39015030848843	The old girl had n't exactly fallen for you, had she?"
mdp.39015030848843	The pair of West- minster Halls and this tunnel place up here and the ruins and all?"
mdp.39015030848843	Then,"Did you say rum stuff, George?"
mdp.39015030848843	There are n't any, are there?"
mdp.39015030848843	There is n't a son, I suppose?"
mdp.39015030848843	These 264 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE fellows,"a nod indicated Bell,"they've done nothing?
mdp.39015030848843	They might be half mad with brooding on their bereave- ment, but why should they turn their bitterness against him?
mdp.39015030848843	They were both down on him to- night, eh?
mdp.39015030848843	They'd be just straight love letters from Alfred Garston?
mdp.39015030848843	They're always experimenting, are n't they, these big firms?
mdp.39015030848843	They've made nothing of it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Think you're going to earn it?"
mdp.39015030848843	This story of his going about upstairs was only found for you when you had been unable to think of anything yourself?"
mdp.39015030848843	Threatening, are you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Tightened it up good, has n't she?
mdp.39015030848843	Took him down, did you?
mdp.39015030848843	Understand me, do n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Understand?
mdp.39015030848843	Was n't that silly?
mdp.39015030848843	Was she handled then?"
mdp.39015030848843	Was that a warning to know nothing?
mdp.39015030848843	Was there something he wanted to ask her?
mdp.39015030848843	We could call police evidence about that, could n't we?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well, I'm much obliged to you, are n't I?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well, as he's your blue- eyed darling, I suppose he told you every- thing?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well, what are you going to do now?
mdp.39015030848843	Well?
mdp.39015030848843	Well?"
mdp.39015030848843	Well?"
mdp.39015030848843	Were n't you very surprised?"
mdp.39015030848843	Were you here when Alfred Garston met his death?"
mdp.39015030848843	What about going for the man who wanted the love letters?"
mdp.39015030848843	What about her?"
mdp.39015030848843	What about it?
mdp.39015030848843	What about it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What about it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What about the lady in the case, my boy?"
mdp.39015030848843	What are you after now?"
mdp.39015030848843	What can you tell us about it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What could happen?"
mdp.39015030848843	What could there be about him?
mdp.39015030848843	What could there be in the arch- way?
mdp.39015030848843	What did Mr. Billy say to that?"
mdp.39015030848843	What did he say he wanted here?"
mdp.39015030848843	What did he say?
mdp.39015030848843	What did he say?"
mdp.39015030848843	What did he want her for?
mdp.39015030848843	What did the doctor say?"
mdp.39015030848843	What did you hear?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do our bright bobbies think?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do the bobbies think?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you do, Gladys?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean, the wrong end?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you think?"
mdp.39015030848843	What do you want to say to me?"
mdp.39015030848843	What does a man do when he wants a drink?"
mdp.39015030848843	What exactly does that mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What for?
mdp.39015030848843	What for?"
mdp.39015030848843	What good could it possibly do?"
mdp.39015030848843	What happened?
mdp.39015030848843	What has happened to- day?"
mdp.39015030848843	What has he done to them?"
mdp.39015030848843	What have I done?"
mdp.39015030848843	What have they got against him?
mdp.39015030848843	What have you done?"
mdp.39015030848843	What is Garstons?"
mdp.39015030848843	What is he doing down here?"
mdp.39015030848843	What is it you do want?
mdp.39015030848843	What is it, eh, what was it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What is it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What is it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What started you looking for it now?"
mdp.39015030848843	What the devil do you mean?
mdp.39015030848843	What the devil was it?"
mdp.39015030848843	What the devil's happened?"
mdp.39015030848843	What then?"
mdp.39015030848843	What was it?
mdp.39015030848843	What was she doing there?"
mdp.39015030848843	What was the value of your jewels?"
mdp.39015030848843	What was there in the archway?
mdp.39015030848843	What was there queer in the archway?
mdp.39015030848843	What were you thinking of doing next, George?"
mdp.39015030848843	What would it matter to Old Man Clunk if I tried to find out where Father went to?
mdp.39015030848843	What's going to happen now?
mdp.39015030848843	What's gone wrong with her?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's he done?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's it got to do with you?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's that got to do with her death?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's that got to do with the Lord Croyland's chat about his brother leaving a son?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's the game?
mdp.39015030848843	What's the girl been and done?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's the matter with supposing the lamp gave out?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's the message?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's the trouble about him?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's your address?"
mdp.39015030848843	What's your little idea about that?"
mdp.39015030848843	When did you bring that into use?
mdp.39015030848843	When do you produce him?"
mdp.39015030848843	When is it now?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where did you get it from?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where do you come in?
mdp.39015030848843	Where have they put you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where is he?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where is he?"
mdp.39015030848843	Where will you be going now?
mdp.39015030848843	Where's Lord Croyland, Gladys?
mdp.39015030848843	Where's he gone?
mdp.39015030848843	WhervGladys talked about somebody getting into the house, did she mean it might have been?
mdp.39015030848843	Who are you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who could want to hurt her?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who else do you suppose cares tuppence what happens to you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who had any reason to kill the old lady?
mdp.39015030848843	Who is Mrs. Garston?
mdp.39015030848843	Who is it in your house that's in collusion with Harwood?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who is she, Gladys?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who is the blighter?
mdp.39015030848843	Who sent it?
mdp.39015030848843	Who was the inventor?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who with?"

mdp.39015030848843	Who would it be?
mdp.39015030848843	Who's going to make anything out of old jewellery and old love letters?"
mdp.39015030848843	Who's your young man?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why did Alfred go writing to the women that Croyland wanted him dead?
mdp.39015030848843	Why did Mrs. Garston take it?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why did Old Man Clunk want to persuade me I must n't ask Garston how they got their process?
mdp.39015030848843	Why did n't Eves show up to meet your doctor?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why did she come out to meet him?
mdp.39015030848843	Why did somebody go digging up Alfred twenty years after he was dead?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why do you think he's running down here on this little job?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why frighten the poor girl?
mdp.39015030848843	Why has n't Croyland rung up the police to say he's been burgled?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why not stand by the original refusal to discuss the matter?
mdp.39015030848843	Why not?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should Clunk choose to be unnecessarily generous to your mother if he had any- thing to hide?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should Croyland funk that sort of stuff now?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should he murder her now?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why should he?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should she be taken there, to be killed or in death?
mdp.39015030848843	Why should the nurse want her dead?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why the devil should they think I did?"
mdp.39015030848843	Why treat him as if he was loathsome?
mdp.39015030848843	Why was Old Man Clunk anxious to persuade me everything in the garden was lovely?
mdp.39015030848843	Why was he still there?
mdp.39015030848843	Why was it dark there?
mdp.39015030848843	Why was it there she was killed?
mdp.39015030848843	Will you want the two- seater this afternoon?
mdp.39015030848843	Will you?"
mdp.39015030848843	Will your lamp be trimmed and burning When He comes to take you o'er?
mdp.39015030848843	Wisberry?"
mdp.39015030848843	Wisberry?"
mdp.39015030848843	Wisberry?"
mdp.39015030848843	Wonder why that is?"
mdp.39015030848843	Would the print of baby fingers Vex us then as they do now?"
mdp.39015030848843	Would you answer for all the people in the house?"
mdp.39015030848843	Would you like a game of whist, Mother?"
mdp.39015030848843	Would you like an egg or something?"
mdp.39015030848843	Would you like to go down to tea?"
mdp.39015030848843	Yes?"
mdp.39015030848843	Yet why should it make her so cruel to her other son, so bitter, such an enemy when one only wanted to help her?
mdp.39015030848843	You can come any time, ca n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	You did gather my little hints then?
mdp.39015030848843	You did n't hear anything before?"
mdp.39015030848843	You do n't expect me to know what's in them, I suppose?"
mdp.39015030848843	You do n't have a whole lot of motor thieves 164 THE GARSTON MURDER CASE in these parts, do you?
mdp.39015030848843	You have thought of some useful labour But what is the end in view?"
mdp.39015030848843	You know all about that, do n't you?"
mdp.39015030848843	You mean Croyland did the murder and Harwood was just playing about?"
mdp.39015030848843	You remember her death, my lord?
mdp.39015030848843	You think so?"
mdp.39015030848843	You think that, do you?"
mdp.39015030848843	You would n't have any letters from him after his death, would you?"
mdp.39015030848843	You'd had a pretty rotten time, had n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	Young, are n't you?
mdp.39015030848843	what did May suppose was the matter with her?
mdp.39015030848843	why could n't she be let alone?
mdp.39015030848843	“ About my father — what's that got to do with this?
mdp.39015030848843	■ BEFORE LUNCH 153 The maid?
mdp.39015030848843	■ FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS 243"Any reason to say so?"
mdp.39015063957339	Do n't you like- Easterns? ” she whispered.
mdp.39015063957339	A — chink?
mdp.39015063957339	A — what?
mdp.39015063957339	Ah, the Quick business?
mdp.39015063957339	Am I an ordinary young man, then?
mdp.39015063957339	And chiefly in the places I've mentioned, eh?—the East End of Lon- don, Liverpool, and the two big Welsh towns? mdp.39015063957339 And had no direct conversation with him yourself?''
mdp.39015063957339	And that would be — what?
mdp.39015063957339	And the presumption, of course, was that the murderers were searching for something?'' mdp.39015063957339 And what sort of a weapon was it, d'ye suppose that the assassin used?"
mdp.39015063957339	And what's the general opinion?
mdp.39015063957339	And what, now?
mdp.39015063957339	And what,she asked again,"did Mr. Cazalette think they might mean?"
mdp.39015063957339	And when did you see him last?
mdp.39015063957339	And whence, I take it, you have just removed them to the deck above our heads?
mdp.39015063957339	And where did they profess to come from?
mdp.39015063957339	And where have you been, yourself, since the time you tell us about?
mdp.39015063957339	And who met him, the previous day, on the cliffs hereabouts, and went with him into the Mariner's Joy?
mdp.39015063957339	And you believe, really and truly, that this key is in the marks or scratches or whatever they are on the lid of the tobacco- box?
mdp.39015063957339	And you're going across the Atlantic with a crew of three?
mdp.39015063957339	And — his name?
mdp.39015063957339	And — the clue?
mdp.39015063957339	And — this money?
mdp.39015063957339	And, in the main, it would be — what?
mdp.39015063957339	Any weather?
mdp.39015063957339	Anything that could actually arouse curiosity?
mdp.39015063957339	Anything?
mdp.39015063957339	Are you Mr. Raven's gamekeeper?
mdp.39015063957339	Atlantic? mdp.39015063957339 Aye, man, and who could there be, wi'a crest and monogram on his kerchief, that'ud murder yon man the secret way he has?"
mdp.39015063957339	Aye, once?
mdp.39015063957339	Aye?
mdp.39015063957339	Aye?
mdp.39015063957339	But as you seem to have rigged up some sort of satisfactory substitute, do n't you think we might be making our way home- wards? mdp.39015063957339 But then, the Chinese are very clever, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063957339	But what place, and where?
mdp.39015063957339	But you do n't anticipate any need?
mdp.39015063957339	But — where and when and how do they intend — if your theory's correct — to do the handing over?
mdp.39015063957339	But — you got away, in the end?
mdp.39015063957339	But — you say there were six men altogether — six?
mdp.39015063957339	Can you row a boat?
mdp.39015063957339	Caves, now?
mdp.39015063957339	D'ye think I'd be well advised, Middlebrook?
mdp.39015063957339	Dead, sir?
mdp.39015063957339	Denwick?
mdp.39015063957339	Did I?
mdp.39015063957339	Did n't I? mdp.39015063957339 Did n't know you, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063957339	Did n't you put these things together when the inquest was over?
mdp.39015063957339	Did you eat a slice of that plum- cake?
mdp.39015063957339	Did you know your great- uncle?
mdp.39015063957339	Did you mention the name Netherfield just then?
mdp.39015063957339	Do I understand that this vessel could undertake a longish voyage?
mdp.39015063957339	Do n't know — what?
mdp.39015063957339	Do n't think me too abrupt, nor intentionally rude, if I ask you what you and this young lady are doing here?
mdp.39015063957339	Do you feel disposed to a glass of ale?
mdp.39015063957339	Do you know anything about rubies? mdp.39015063957339 Do you know what all this is suggesting to me?"
mdp.39015063957339	Do you sleep very soundly?'' mdp.39015063957339 Do you think I carry a revolver on an innocent country stroll?"
mdp.39015063957339	Do you think Quick was the real name?
mdp.39015063957339	Do you think he really is a — pirate?
mdp.39015063957339	Does n't it seem quite out of the world here — after that?
mdp.39015063957339	Does that mean that you would get information which I should n't get?
mdp.39015063957339	Don't — don't you think there may be some ex- planation of this in what Salter Quick said to Mr. Middlebrook when they met on the cliffs?'' mdp.39015063957339 Dr. Lorrimore would be very angry with me if I 96 WAS IT A WOMAN?
mdp.39015063957339	Evidently you intend to tranship your precious cargo?
mdp.39015063957339	For instance, could they have crossed, say, the Atlantic in her?
mdp.39015063957339	Gone? mdp.39015063957339 Have you any idea who he may be?"
mdp.39015063957339	Have you formed any conclusion?
mdp.39015063957339	Have you found out if Netherfield Baxter and the 154 RAVENSDENE COURT temporary bank- manager were acquainted?
mdp.39015063957339	He said there were Netherfields buried herea- bouts?
mdp.39015063957339	How's this?
mdp.39015063957339	How?
mdp.39015063957339	Hungry?
mdp.39015063957339	I WAS IT A WOMAN? mdp.39015063957339 I believe,"I said, brusquely enough,"that I am speaking to Mr. Netherfield Baxter?"
mdp.39015063957339	I gather, from all you've said, that the handker- chief was in the pocket- book you had stolen this morning?
mdp.39015063957339	I live like an WAS IT A WOMAN? mdp.39015063957339 I suppose it's scarcely possible that the murderer was present at that inquest?''
mdp.39015063957339	I suppose there are places along this coast where a man might hide?
mdp.39015063957339	I suppose there is one?
mdp.39015063957339	I suppose you hear a good deal in this parlour of yours?
mdp.39015063957339	I think you, at any rate, are a resident?
mdp.39015063957339	I understood that this ship, the Elizabeth Robin- son, was lost with all hands?
mdp.39015063957339	I wonder if it is so?
mdp.39015063957339	I wonder if there are inscriptions on the other tombs?
mdp.39015063957339	I? mdp.39015063957339 If Chuh Fen is still in England — as he may be — can he find him?"
mdp.39015063957339	In other words, the Chinese gentleman who was THE PLUM CAKE 229 with you and your French friend in Hull?
mdp.39015063957339	Is it much?
mdp.39015063957339	Is it wise policy to show all the cards you're holding?
mdp.39015063957339	Is n't that guess- work?
mdp.39015063957339	Is n't there THE MORNING TIDE 39 something almost — what is it?—uncanny?—about him?
mdp.39015063957339	Is that Baxter?
mdp.39015063957339	It was you who found Salter Quick?
mdp.39015063957339	It would be a help?
mdp.39015063957339	Laundry business, eating- houses, groceries, and so on1?
mdp.39015063957339	May I have a word with you?
mdp.39015063957339	May n't it have been an as- sumed name?
mdp.39015063957339	Mr. Cazalette, have you found out anything from your photographic work on that tobacco- box lid?
mdp.39015063957339	Mr. Jal- lanby,he continued,"what did these two want of you?
mdp.39015063957339	Not honestly, I suppose?
mdp.39015063957339	Now you under- stand?
mdp.39015063957339	Now you'll let your mind go back to the morning whereon you found yon man Quick lying dead and murdered on the sand? mdp.39015063957339 Now — who?
mdp.39015063957339	Now, I wonder where those chaps have gone?
mdp.39015063957339	Of Blyth?
mdp.39015063957339	Of course, you have been to Eotherhithe — mak- ing inquiries?
mdp.39015063957339	Parish registers?
mdp.39015063957339	Robbery? mdp.39015063957339 See him again anywhere?"
mdp.39015063957339	Shall I be plain?
mdp.39015063957339	So Dr. Lorrimore has a Chinese man servant? ” she said. mdp.39015063957339 So you begin by paying me compliments?"
mdp.39015063957339	So you found your man dead and murdered, Middlebrook? mdp.39015063957339 Some informa- tion?"
mdp.39015063957339	Some mystery?
mdp.39015063957339	Still,he continued, turning to Wing,"a lot of your people when they come here, stop, do n't they?''
mdp.39015063957339	Such as what?
mdp.39015063957339	Take them away?
mdp.39015063957339	That so?
mdp.39015063957339	That strikes you, Middlebrook?
mdp.39015063957339	That you did see him?
mdp.39015063957339	That's just what?
mdp.39015063957339	The boat?
mdp.39015063957339	The man we saw at Eavensdene Court?
mdp.39015063957339	The thing that the old gentleman — what's his name? mdp.39015063957339 Then Salter Quick was after that treasure?"
mdp.39015063957339	Then we are in the hands of Netherfield Baxter?
mdp.39015063957339	Then you merely asked the question out of curi- osity?
mdp.39015063957339	Then you'd know Netherfield Baxter?
mdp.39015063957339	Then you're stopping in the neighbourhood?
mdp.39015063957339	They must have some theory?
mdp.39015063957339	This afternoon?
mdp.39015063957339	Trade of this part of London, is n't it?
mdp.39015063957339	Under what circumstances?
mdp.39015063957339	Was n't this Noah Quick mentioned in some paper you found on Salter Quick?
mdp.39015063957339	Was that the first time of your meeting with them?
mdp.39015063957339	Was there anything of great value in it?
mdp.39015063957339	Was this his way of finding out what all of us wanted to know? mdp.39015063957339 Well, and what happened?
mdp.39015063957339	Well, sir?
mdp.39015063957339	Well?
mdp.39015063957339	Well?
mdp.39015063957339	Well?
mdp.39015063957339	Well?
mdp.39015063957339	What can you tell me about that? mdp.39015063957339 What colour?"
mdp.39015063957339	What d'ye make of it, lad?
mdp.39015063957339	What did they do?
mdp.39015063957339	What did you think I should be?
mdp.39015063957339	What do you suppose is going to happen to us?
mdp.39015063957339	What do you think of it?
mdp.39015063957339	What do you think of that queer old man?
mdp.39015063957339	What do you think, from your standpoint, of the two affairs?
mdp.39015063957339	What is it about the box?
mdp.39015063957339	What is it, then?
mdp.39015063957339	What is it?
mdp.39015063957339	What is the name?
mdp.39015063957339	What is thought in the town about Lester and the valuables?
mdp.39015063957339	What like was this here man?
mdp.39015063957339	What next? mdp.39015063957339 What o'that?"
mdp.39015063957339	What other presumption could there be?
mdp.39015063957339	What says you? mdp.39015063957339 What was he?"
mdp.39015063957339	What was there, really, on the lid of the tobacco- box?
mdp.39015063957339	What were the antecedents of Noah and Salter Quick?
mdp.39015063957339	What were these three talking about?
mdp.39015063957339	What's that?
mdp.39015063957339	What's to pay?
mdp.39015063957339	What's your name, then?
mdp.39015063957339	What, now?
mdp.39015063957339	What?
mdp.39015063957339	Whatever makes them think that?
mdp.39015063957339	Where did you know him?
mdp.39015063957339	Which hotel?
mdp.39015063957339	Who, of all the folk in these parts, is one to suspect? mdp.39015063957339 Why did n't you suggest it?"
mdp.39015063957339	Why not?
mdp.39015063957339	Why not?
mdp.39015063957339	Why, now?
mdp.39015063957339	Will you not step inside and shelter from the storm?
mdp.39015063957339	Worth a good deal, eh?
mdp.39015063957339	Would you be surprised to hear of his being in England three years ago?
mdp.39015063957339	Would you?
mdp.39015063957339	Ye'l1 just indulge an old man's fancy?
mdp.39015063957339	Yes?
mdp.39015063957339	Yes?
mdp.39015063957339	Yes?
mdp.39015063957339	Yet — Noah and Salter Quick were on her — and were living five years later?
mdp.39015063957339	You did n't come here with any set purpose?
mdp.39015063957339	You did?
mdp.39015063957339	You found this poor man?
mdp.39015063957339	You had n't heard that, then?
mdp.39015063957339	You knew them — the Quicks?
mdp.39015063957339	You must like living under the old family roof?
mdp.39015063957339	You never saw the man again whom you speak of as having seen at Alnwick?
mdp.39015063957339	You really think those marks were made of a purpose, Cazalette?
mdp.39015063957339	You saw nobody about?
mdp.39015063957339	You saw the rubies?
mdp.39015063957339	You say you think he was wounded in getting away?
mdp.39015063957339	You think I should?
mdp.39015063957339	You think they had a past?
mdp.39015063957339	You think they were intentional?
mdp.39015063957339	You were n't seeking this place?'' mdp.39015063957339 You wish to know?"
mdp.39015063957339	You'd a stiff time of it?
mdp.39015063957339	You'd never met them before — anywhere?
mdp.39015063957339	You'll be able to find your way down?
mdp.39015063957339	You'll drink with me? mdp.39015063957339 You're both aware of my youthful career at Blyth?"
mdp.39015063957339	You're wondering if that's anything to do with Netherfield Baxter's disappearance?
mdp.39015063957339	You've some ground?
mdp.39015063957339	''Fighting?''
mdp.39015063957339	''That looks as if there were some very good reason why it should be found, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063957339	''What is it?"
mdp.39015063957339	''Yes?"
mdp.39015063957339	''You really think so?"
mdp.39015063957339	'Ai n't you Mr. Netherfield Baxter, what I used to know at Blyth, away up North?'
mdp.39015063957339	'Well — what has he discovered?"
mdp.39015063957339	'You know of some?"
mdp.39015063957339	107"What do you think the police ought to do — or ought to have done?"
mdp.39015063957339	254 THE CHINESE GENTLEMAN 255"You say these things — rubies, I think — were worth a lot of money?"
mdp.39015063957339	288 RAVENSDENE COURT"And you got into their hands — how?"
mdp.39015063957339	And I am now writing to ask you if you could so far oblige and help me in my investigations as to join me here for a day or two, at once?
mdp.39015063957339	And a morsel of cheese?"
mdp.39015063957339	And at last all three went out. ” 180 RAVENSDENE COURT"Did the man you take to be Baxter look at you?"
mdp.39015063957339	And bread — a loaf of real home- baked?
mdp.39015063957339	And that cross in the corner — perhaps there is something buried, hidden, there, which Salter Quick wanted to find?"
mdp.39015063957339	And that name was — Netherfield?
mdp.39015063957339	And that — but am I to be still more explicit?"
mdp.39015063957339	And these places where there's a little cross?—that'll mean there's a church there?"
mdp.39015063957339	And those men he foregathered with at the inn, they'd never heard of anything at that point, nor elsewhere?"
mdp.39015063957339	And what I would like to know is — why did Salter Quick come down here, to this particular bit of the North Coun- try?"
mdp.39015063957339	And what do you make of it, Mr. Middlebrook?
mdp.39015063957339	And what do you — a Londoner, I think you told me — know of Netherfield Baxter?"
mdp.39015063957339	And what was Quick doing down here?
mdp.39015063957339	And what's the next thing to do, Mr. Mid- dlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	And — he's rather interesting, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063957339	And — what was easier than to abstract it, at the inquest, where it was exhibited in company with several other things of Salter's?"
mdp.39015063957339	And — who was it?"
mdp.39015063957339	And — yours sir?"
mdp.39015063957339	And, in the meantime — a much pleasanter thing — won't you show me round the house?
mdp.39015063957339	Are there places and people in London where one could get to hear of him?"
mdp.39015063957339	Are you armed?"
mdp.39015063957339	Are you going on with your search?"
mdp.39015063957339	But I hope you ap- preciate the extraordinary coincidence, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063957339	But I suppose he'll take his time?"
mdp.39015063957339	But I take it this vessel was all ready for going to sea?"
mdp.39015063957339	But I'm sure he was winged — he fell in a heap, did n't he, at one of those shots?
mdp.39015063957339	But did I say ended?-nay, for all I knew the murderers of the Quicks were only an episode, a chapter in the story — the end was — where?
mdp.39015063957339	But did I say ended?-nay, for all I knew the murderers of the Quicks were only an episode, a chapter in the story — the end was — where?
mdp.39015063957339	But how came he to meet his murderer — or did his murderer follow him?
mdp.39015063957339	But is there anything fresh?"
mdp.39015063957339	But now I'm wondering if something else had happened before that?"
mdp.39015063957339	But of what?"
mdp.39015063957339	But really, gentle- men, you surprise me!—I should never have thought — yet, you never know who people are, do you?
mdp.39015063957339	But two questions — first, how long since is it that these chaps sailed for Bergen; second, what is the name of this smart little vessel?"
mdp.39015063957339	But what, and how?
mdp.39015063957339	But why?
mdp.39015063957339	But you must be tired after all those miles?
mdp.39015063957339	But — is it probable that the Quicks would still be in possession of jewels that you saw some years ago?"
mdp.39015063957339	But — is there anything you want to say to me before I go?"
mdp.39015063957339	But — that sixth man?"
mdp.39015063957339	But — the rest?"
mdp.39015063957339	But — what?"
mdp.39015063957339	But — wouldn't Miss Raven like to retire? — it's late.
mdp.39015063957339	But — you would n't be afraid?"
mdp.39015063957339	But- that's three years ago, and Chuh Fen may bewhere? ” Something impelled Miss Raven and myself to glance at Dr. Lorrimore.
mdp.39015063957339	By the way, if it's not a professional secret, have you heard any more of the affair at Saltash?"
mdp.39015063957339	By this time they'll have altered the name 192 RAVENSDENE COURT of that yawl, and gone — where?
mdp.39015063957339	CHAPTER VII WAS IT A WOMAN?
mdp.39015063957339	Ca n't you suggest anything, Mr. Cazalette?
mdp.39015063957339	Can he now, solemn?"
mdp.39015063957339	Cazalette?"
mdp.39015063957339	Cazalette?"
mdp.39015063957339	Cazalette?"
mdp.39015063957339	Cazalette?"
mdp.39015063957339	Certainly, the marks were there, and, equally cer- tainly, they looked to have been made with some in- tent — but what did they mean?''
mdp.39015063957339	D'ye know how old I am, Middlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	D'ye see the inside of the lid of this box?
mdp.39015063957339	D'ye under- stand?
mdp.39015063957339	Did I know these parts?—was I a native hereabouts?—did I know any churchyards with the name Netherfield on grave- stones?
mdp.39015063957339	Did Lo Chuh Fen leave her at any such port?
mdp.39015063957339	Did n't I tell all of you, all along, that there'd be more in this business than met the eye?
mdp.39015063957339	Did the Elizabeth Robinson touch at any port after leaving Hong- Kong?
mdp.39015063957339	Did you say that?—I asks you serious?"
mdp.39015063957339	Do I understand that your man will help us by trying to find out some particulars of Chuh Fen, or laying hands on Chuh Fen himself?
mdp.39015063957339	Do you know that he actually goes out early — very early — in the morning and swims in the open sea?"
mdp.39015063957339	Do you know what I think?
mdp.39015063957339	Do you remember it?''.
mdp.39015063957339	Do you see my point, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063957339	Do you see?"
mdp.39015063957339	Do you see?''
mdp.39015063957339	Do you wonder, either of you, that both Noah and Salter eventually got — what they got?"
mdp.39015063957339	Dr. Lorrimore said he had been in India for some years, did n't he?
mdp.39015063957339	Drop of rum first, eh?
mdp.39015063957339	Eh?"
mdp.39015063957339	Eh?"
mdp.39015063957339	Exploring the wood for the mere fun of the thing, we chanced upon these ruins and have been examining them, that's all?"
mdp.39015063957339	Gentlemen!—what does this show?
mdp.39015063957339	Gold, silver?''
mdp.39015063957339	Had he picked it up on the beach when he went for his dip?
mdp.39015063957339	Had it anything to do with the crime?
mdp.39015063957339	Had that — had Cazalette himself — anything to do with this crime?
mdp.39015063957339	Had you not better send for the police?"
mdp.39015063957339	Hand it over to the authorities?
mdp.39015063957339	Has he discovered anything?''
mdp.39015063957339	Have they ever tried?
mdp.39015063957339	I mean — of all that I've told you?"
mdp.39015063957339	I mean — you do n't think that he's found out anything with his photography, and is keeping it dark?''
mdp.39015063957339	I my- self — why not others?
mdp.39015063957339	I reckon I've a prior claim, Middlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	I suppose he must really have been killed by that man who was spoken of at the inn?
mdp.39015063957339	I suppose the old gentleman — Mr Cazalette — is to be — trusted?
mdp.39015063957339	I suppose you know all its nooks and corners?"
mdp.39015063957339	If he was there, in that yawl, in what capacity — real capacity — was he there?
mdp.39015063957339	If only I could clap a hand on him""You think you'd be clapping a hand on Salter Quick's murderer?"
mdp.39015063957339	If so, how did he escape a shipwreck which evidently happened?
mdp.39015063957339	Is Dr. Lorrimore at home? ”.
mdp.39015063957339	Is that your road, master?"
mdp.39015063957339	Is there any need to go through the woods?
mdp.39015063957339	It was some churchyard this fellow was seeking?"
mdp.39015063957339	Jallanby?"
mdp.39015063957339	Just an inch or so 176 RAVENSDENE COURT showing, d'ye understand?
mdp.39015063957339	Know him?
mdp.39015063957339	Lorrimore's?"
mdp.39015063957339	Lorrimore?"
mdp.39015063957339	Marooned?
mdp.39015063957339	Maybe you'll know it?"
mdp.39015063957339	Middlebrook,"he went on, interrupting himself and turning on me with a direct look,"a plain question?
mdp.39015063957339	Middlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	Middlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	Middlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	Middlebrook?"
mdp.39015063957339	Murder?
mdp.39015063957339	Now I asks you, friendly — ha'you ever seen that name in your churchyard?
mdp.39015063957339	Now I'd like to know what all that signifies?
mdp.39015063957339	Now if we could trace the owner of the handkerchief and find where he gets his washing done, and a great deal more — you see?
mdp.39015063957339	Now then — was this man, this Chinaman, the Chuh Fen who turned up in London, the same Chuh Fen who was on the Elizabeth Robinson?
mdp.39015063957339	Now — what could those three have told about the Elizabeth Robinson?"
mdp.39015063957339	Now, I want to know all about that!—who can tell me most?"
mdp.39015063957339	Now, Mr. Jallanby, what do you know of those two?
mdp.39015063957339	Now, if I'd only chanced on him when he was by himself, what? ” “ You'd have got just the same answer, ” said the detective laconically.
mdp.39015063957339	Now, what could he be doing down at this lonely spot?
mdp.39015063957339	Now, what's the meaning of it, in your opinion, sir?"
mdp.39015063957339	Now, where was this?"
mdp.39015063957339	Now, who, out of that lot, would be likely to steal — for that's what it comes to — this tobacco- box?
mdp.39015063957339	Of course we — that is, my French friend and I — have been, and are, suspected of murdering them?"
mdp.39015063957339	Of course, the poor fellow has been murdered for his money?
mdp.39015063957339	Only I do n't know where that churchyard — or, again, there may be more than one — is, d'ye see?
mdp.39015063957339	Or — do you live here- abouts?"
mdp.39015063957339	Out of this arose the question — what was the secret?
mdp.39015063957339	Perhaps — you'll give us more of it?"
mdp.39015063957339	Put plainly, if he was there, what game was that bland, suave, obsequious, soft- tongued Chinaman playing?
mdp.39015063957339	RAVENSDENE COURT 23''And you ai n't heard of his being about?"
mdp.39015063957339	RAVENSDENE COURT 25"That and me, together — eh?"
mdp.39015063957339	Raven?"
mdp.39015063957339	Recent?''
mdp.39015063957339	Scarterfield?"
mdp.39015063957339	Shall I tell you how I figure things out?
mdp.39015063957339	So I want to ask you — did you ever hear, in any of these quarters, of a man named Chuh Fen?
mdp.39015063957339	So now — do we get at something?
mdp.39015063957339	So you told Noah and Salter Quick that?"
mdp.39015063957339	So — he had evidently been back to the place whereat he had hidden the stained linen, whatever it was?
mdp.39015063957339	Somebody that's in the secret, to a certain point, might know — but who else could?
mdp.39015063957339	Still — it's an odd sight to see a Chinaman, pigtail and all, in these parts, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063957339	Sufficient to whet your curiosity, eh, Middle- brook?"
mdp.39015063957339	Supposing this stolen stuff is safely hidden somewhere about?
mdp.39015063957339	THE ENLARGED PHOTOGRAPH 109 nose?
mdp.39015063957339	That it?"
mdp.39015063957339	That there man was Netherfield Baxter! ” “ You feel sure of it? ” suggested Scarterfield.
mdp.39015063957339	That's about it, is n't it?
mdp.39015063957339	The great thing is — what was this precious secret that the Quicks shared, and that certainly had to do with some place here in Northumberland?
mdp.39015063957339	The thing is — how will you word it?"
mdp.39015063957339	Then, in God's name, who else was on her — whom did you find here — what men?"
mdp.39015063957339	There is a churchyard, ai n't there?"
mdp.39015063957339	There was something be- yond that — but what?
mdp.39015063957339	There's folk up and down these roads that'ud track you for miles on the chance of — eh, Jim?"
mdp.39015063957339	Tourists?
mdp.39015063957339	Very well — now then, what 164 RAVENSDENE COURT do we know of Baxter?
mdp.39015063957339	WAS IT A WOMAN?
mdp.39015063957339	WAS IT A WOMAN?
mdp.39015063957339	Was he alone?"
mdp.39015063957339	Was he directed here — or led here?"
mdp.39015063957339	Was n't you, Jim?"
mdp.39015063957339	Was this the skipper?"
mdp.39015063957339	Well — I suppose you'll make some inquiries about that box?
mdp.39015063957339	Well, and suppose I admit it, Mr. Middlebrook?
mdp.39015063957339	What are you going to do with all these things?"
mdp.39015063957339	What beats me,"he added,"is — what was he — and the man as did it — doing, here?
mdp.39015063957339	What connection was there — if any at all — between Mr. Cazalette's actions and my discovery?
mdp.39015063957339	What do you know about the grave of the Netherfields?"
mdp.39015063957339	What do you make of it, sir?"
mdp.39015063957339	What easier, as I said to the inspector, than for some one of them — perhaps a curio- hunter — to quietly pick up that box and make off with it?
mdp.39015063957339	What had the man Netherfield who was with Salter Quick in Chinese waters in 1907 got'to do with Salter Quick's presence here five years later?"
mdp.39015063957339	What is it — rum?"
mdp.39015063957339	What is that, exactly?''
mdp.39015063957339	What is the other?''
mdp.39015063957339	What might you be wanting with my gentleman, now?"
mdp.39015063957339	What place?
mdp.39015063957339	What strange mysteries we seem to be living amongst?
mdp.39015063957339	What then?
mdp.39015063957339	What was his idea, now?"
mdp.39015063957339	What was it that this hard- bitten, travel- worn man, one who had seen, evidently, much of wind and wave, was really after?
mdp.39015063957339	What was it, then?
mdp.39015063957339	What was their business here in Hull?"
mdp.39015063957339	What was their past history?
mdp.39015063957339	What were the murderers seeking for?
mdp.39015063957339	What's against it?"
mdp.39015063957339	What's to prevent it?
mdp.39015063957339	What's your name?"
mdp.39015063957339	What?
mdp.39015063957339	Where did he go?
mdp.39015063957339	Where did he land?''
mdp.39015063957339	Where do you get your customers?"
mdp.39015063957339	Where is he?
mdp.39015063957339	Where was this here?"
mdp.39015063957339	Where's the other?"
mdp.39015063957339	Who are you — both?"
mdp.39015063957339	Who are you?
mdp.39015063957339	Who knows?
mdp.39015063957339	Who was he?
mdp.39015063957339	Who were these two men — Noah and Salter Quick?
mdp.39015063957339	Whom did he come across?''
mdp.39015063957339	Whose work has that been?"
mdp.39015063957339	Why carry it from the shore at all, if he meant to get rid of it f And why not have consigned it to his dirty- linen basket and have it washed?
mdp.39015063957339	Why had Salter Quick travelled all the way from Devonport to Northumberland to find the graves of some people named Netherfield?
mdp.39015063957339	Why have we never heard of it?"
mdp.39015063957339	Why should we not follow the coast?''
mdp.39015063957339	Why was he so secretive about it?
mdp.39015063957339	Why — who could there be?"
mdp.39015063957339	Why?
mdp.39015063957339	Why?
mdp.39015063957339	Why?
mdp.39015063957339	Why?
mdp.39015063957339	Would n't that be better than — whatever it is that you're doing?"
mdp.39015063957339	Would n't that explain why they sent us away?''
mdp.39015063957339	YELLOWFACE 95 Mr. Kaven expect — or, if not expect, be afraid of, any attack on himself?
mdp.39015063957339	Yet — what can they do?"
mdp.39015063957339	Yet — why thrust it away into the yew- hedge, close to the house?
mdp.39015063957339	You THE INN ON THE CLIFF 15 ai n't seen it, master, in your wanderings round these parts?"
mdp.39015063957339	You know the man I was telling you of last night — Salter Quick?
mdp.39015063957339	You met a man — hereabouts — what asked you if you knew where there was graves with a certain name on'em?
mdp.39015063957339	You re- member that in both cases the clothing of the mur- dered men had been literally ripped to pieces?''
mdp.39015063957339	You really believe, Fish, that you met Netherfield Baxter about three weeks ago?
mdp.39015063957339	You say you were on this vessel — during the night?
mdp.39015063957339	You spoke to this man?"
mdp.39015063957339	You think they met?"
mdp.39015063957339	You'l1 go, of course, Middlebrook?''
mdp.39015063957339	You've never seen Ravensdene Court before?"
mdp.39015063957339	^"What names did you know them under?"
mdp.39015063957339	are n't you jealous already?''
mdp.39015063957339	ha'you ever noticed the name of Netherfield on any o'them old gravestones up yonder?
mdp.39015063957339	said Scarterfield,"What happened?
mdp.39015063957339	said he,"the name which that poor man mentioned to you as you talked with him on the cliff was — Netherfield?"
mdp.39015063957339	there no clue?
mdp.39015063957339	thing happen? ” “ Nothing happened, master- what should hap- pen? ” replied Fish.
mdp.39015063957339	thing happen? ” “ Nothing happened, master- what should hap- pen? ” replied Fish.
mdp.39015063957339	what's it mean? ” “ That's what Salter Quick was murdered for,"said I.
mdp.39015063957339	“ And who answers for Lorrimore? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015063957339	“ I- I do n't think I've caught your name? ” “ Dr.
mdp.39015063957339	“ That's it, is n't it, Fish?"
mdp.39015063957339	“ Well? ” said Scarterfield, after a pause, during which he seemed to be thinking a good deal.
mdp.39015063957339	“ What do you or I know of Lorrimore?
mdp.39015063957339	“ What is it?
mdp.39015063957339	“ What was that? ” asked Scarterfield.
mdp.39015063957339	“ What were the markings you speak of? ” I asked.
mdp.39015063957339	“ You live hereabouts, sir? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074864277	And the man's laugh — that un- canny chuckling laugh in which he had indulged after the stolid Squarey's departure?
nyp.33433074864277	Beginning at the door by which Mr. Mandible had.entered from the 3º nAl&!?.
nyp.33433074864277	Did he really think that he had the key in his pocket 2 Did he really know that she had it in hers?
nyp.33433074864277	He does n’t want to intrude, but do n't you think he might be useful? ” The Squire looked doubtfully at Constable Squarey.
nyp.33433074864277	I was looking at a real phenomenon, the nature of which you will never guess. ” “ What was that, sir? ” Landon inquired respect- fully.
nyp.33433074864277	Is it good enough, sonny? ” he added, turning to the boy, who had been studying the swarthy visage of his would- be benefactor.
nyp.33433074864277	Shall I?
nyp.33433074864277	This frees us from that bit of bad luck, eh? ” “ Entirely.
nyp.33433074864277	What did this portend?
nyp.33433074864277	Whether he will be able to substantiate it will be another matter. ”- “ You mean about the inside bolt being fastened? ” asked Roddy quickly.
nyp.33433074864277	Will you give me five minutes? ” “ Take ten if you like, ” came the answer.
nyp.33433074864277	You have evidence that that wretch there killed the rector, have you not?
nyp.33433074864277	You know who I am, by the way? ” “ I can only guess, sir — the Baron de Guerin 2 ” “ Of Longclere Castle.
nyp.33433074864277	You recollect that agate button he was trying to find the owner of the other day? ” “ Yes, yes! ” cried his sister eagerly.
nyp.33433074864277	“ A LITTLE BLANK? ” III If that happens — what I want you to do is this.
nyp.33433074864277	“ Am I right in believing that you would not have told me so much unless you had meant to tell me more? ” she said softly.
nyp.33433074864277	“ And Mr. Landon Tressingham will be released from custody now, will he not?
nyp.33433074864277	“ And how has it gone with you? ” Alice asked.
nyp.33433074864277	“ And you have brought me here to help? ” he said so quietly that the restraint was obvious.
nyp.33433074864277	“ Back in town, eh?

mdp.39015063525771	I told you, did n't I?
mdp.39015063525771	I understand that you have evidence of the death of Arthur Dessart?
mdp.39015063525771	I wonder if I could have my tea, Pam?

mdp.39015063525771	It was a gang set on him, I suppose?
mdp.39015063525771	It was n't a natural death, then?
mdp.39015063525771	It was veronal? mdp.39015063525771 It's a little unusual, Fortune — but you wo n't mind my asking you — I suppose you know all about this affair of Luker and the man he shot?"
mdp.39015063525771	Knows he's dying, does he?

mdp.39015063525771	Not coffee, perhaps? mdp.39015063525771 Not known to the police?"
mdp.39015063525771	Not sure?
mdp.39015063525771	Not very sure, are you?
mdp.39015063525771	Nothing doing? mdp.39015063525771 Now Mr. Luker, had you any knowledge of this man?"
mdp.39015063525771	Now about the burglary,said Bell briskly"Who was here last night?"
mdp.39015063525771	Now how the devil did you know that?
mdp.39015063525771	Now we hear all about it, yes?
mdp.39015063525771	Now what in the world is the matter with you?
mdp.39015063525771	Now what would be your criticism?
mdp.39015063525771	Now — what about letting me have a look at your head while Stein gets the car out?'' mdp.39015063525771 Now, my dear fellow, what about that head of yours?"
mdp.39015063525771	Of the knife, you mean? mdp.39015063525771 Oh Bell, did I ever?"

mdp.39015063525771	Oh, I had better go?
mdp.39015063525771	Oh, Mr. Fortune, you do n't mind my coming, do you?
mdp.39015063525771	Oh, but that is n't anything, not really, is it? mdp.39015063525771 Oh, could you?
mdp.39015063525771	Oh, did you want some- thing?

mdp.39015063525771	Protect myself? mdp.39015063525771 Quite clear, is it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Rather over my head, do n't you know? mdp.39015063525771 Rather rustic method, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Rather violent in his manner? mdp.39015063525771 Rattled, is he, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	Really? mdp.39015063525771 Really?"

mdp.39015063525771	She says herself she was pushed over, do n't she, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	She's going to get better?
mdp.39015063525771	Shows he was hard up, sir? mdp.39015063525771 So?
mdp.39015063525771	So? mdp.39015063525771 So?
mdp.39015063525771	So?
mdp.39015063525771	So?
mdp.39015063525771	Some of your own pals did you down?
mdp.39015063525771	Something on your mind, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	Speakin'professionally — is there a case?
mdp.39015063525771	Staying dinner, my Bonham?
mdp.39015063525771	Still you will not believe it was a natural accident?
mdp.39015063525771	Sure? mdp.39015063525771 Taking Mrs. Heath at the end of your round, what?"
mdp.39015063525771	That Butler put up a sham accident? mdp.39015063525771 That was much quicker as the train, Mr. Trove, yes?
mdp.39015063525771	That'll be quicker than the train, wo n't it, Stein?
mdp.39015063525771	That'll be'er?
mdp.39015063525771	That's all right, is n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	That's how you feel about it, is it?
mdp.39015063525771	That's nice, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	That's queer, sir, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	That's right, Exon?
mdp.39015063525771	That's surprising too, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	That's the Blancapel game, is it? mdp.39015063525771 That's the harbour, is n't it, where the masts are?
mdp.39015063525771	That's what he said, was n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	That's what we'd like to know, eh, James?
mdp.39015063525771	That's what you'll say, is it?
mdp.39015063525771	The American banker?
mdp.39015063525771	The blue room, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	The fellows who are managing the dope trade? mdp.39015063525771 The first night?"
mdp.39015063525771	The gentleman that bought it? mdp.39015063525771 The identity can be established?"
mdp.39015063525771	The light?
mdp.39015063525771	The man could n't have infected him?
mdp.39015063525771	The place on the map?
mdp.39015063525771	The revolver, is it?
mdp.39015063525771	The road to the downs?
mdp.39015063525771	The sea?
mdp.39015063525771	The secretary perhaps? mdp.39015063525771 The servants?"
mdp.39015063525771	The shock, you know? mdp.39015063525771 The statuette?
mdp.39015063525771	The tombs? mdp.39015063525771 The — the Air Ministry?"
mdp.39015063525771	Then do I understand that you think the cause of his condition is worry: some mental distress or anxiety?
mdp.39015063525771	Then he did n't actually take anything?
mdp.39015063525771	Then what the devil?
mdp.39015063525771	There were two shots, you mean? mdp.39015063525771 There wo n't be any more trouble?"
mdp.39015063525771	These little errors do occur, do n't they? mdp.39015063525771 They are wonderful, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063525771	They went off in the boat?
mdp.39015063525771	This is a known script, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	Twice?
mdp.39015063525771	Want your breakfast, old man?
mdp.39015063525771	Was I?
mdp.39015063525771	We do n't get very close to any- thing, do we?
mdp.39015063525771	We drink beer, my friend?
mdp.39015063525771	We take our coffee here, yes?
mdp.39015063525771	We've made a pretty neat case of it, have n't we?
mdp.39015063525771	We?
mdp.39015063525771	Well — without prejudice — what about it?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, Dillon, what d'you make of it?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, Sam, how's the parlourmaid?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, Sam?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, how is the patient?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, sir, what could they do with that?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, sir,Dr. Smith cried,"do you dispute our conclusion?"
mdp.39015063525771	Well, what about his hat?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, what about it? mdp.39015063525771 Well, what about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Well, what does she know about it?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, what is the cause?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, what now? mdp.39015063525771 Well, what's the corpse got in his pockets?"
mdp.39015063525771	Well, where's the envelope?
mdp.39015063525771	Well, why did n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	Well,said Lomas triumphantly,"what's the matter with that?"
mdp.39015063525771	Well?
mdp.39015063525771	Were you going to sell, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	Were you taking me to lunch, Reginald? mdp.39015063525771 What about the earth you dug out?
mdp.39015063525771	What about this, Aristide?
mdp.39015063525771	What are Zodiacs?
mdp.39015063525771	What are you saying?
mdp.39015063525771	What are you suggesting, Fortune? mdp.39015063525771 What can one do?
mdp.39015063525771	What did I say?
mdp.39015063525771	What did he write, Jim?
mdp.39015063525771	What did the good Aristide want for it?
mdp.39015063525771	What did you make of him?

mdp.39015063525771	What do you say?
mdp.39015063525771	What do you think it was?
mdp.39015063525771	What do you think yourself, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	What do you want in there?

mdp.39015063525771	What put you off? mdp.39015063525771 What put you on it, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	What sort of a stick?
mdp.39015063525771	What the devil do I care?
mdp.39015063525771	What was Butler going to say?

mdp.39015063525771	Why this wild haste?
mdp.39015063525771	Why was he keepin'it?
mdp.39015063525771	Why — why — why are you so hos- tile?
mdp.39015063525771	Why, what's the matter with that? mdp.39015063525771 Why?"
mdp.39015063525771	Wild- goose chase, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	Will you be staying here?
mdp.39015063525771	Will you guess what he said to me?
mdp.39015063525771	Will you have some tea?
mdp.39015063525771	With the knife?
mdp.39015063525771	Would you like to have a look, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	Would you mind telling me — after you wedged that other door — when you kept talking, did you fancy they'd quarrel down there in the grave?
mdp.39015063525771	You apprehend no unfortunate conse- quences?
mdp.39015063525771	You believe he knows who they were?
mdp.39015063525771	You believe she is really in danger?
mdp.39015063525771	You ca n't explain why he should attack you?
mdp.39015063525771	You came to him quickly?
mdp.39015063525771	You can be sure?
mdp.39015063525771	You can make out nothing of it? mdp.39015063525771 You come up here, yes?
mdp.39015063525771	You did n't believe Luker, did you?
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't believe in her, do you?
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't know? mdp.39015063525771 You had n't accepted that?"

mdp.39015063525771	You left him alive?
mdp.39015063525771	You made sure it was him drugged her? mdp.39015063525771 You mean Butler knew something Ulyett wanted?
mdp.39015063525771	You mean he killed Butler?
mdp.39015063525771	You mean it looks as if evidence was being made up or hushed up for the sake of the gamble in Zodiacs?
mdp.39015063525771	You mean the knife? mdp.39015063525771 You meant this?"
mdp.39015063525771	You never met him in South America?
mdp.39015063525771	You observe? mdp.39015063525771 You ought to let us know""Ought?"
mdp.39015063525771	You saw it then?
mdp.39015063525771	You see something, sir? mdp.39015063525771 You suggest bad faith?
mdp.39015063525771	You think not?
mdp.39015063525771	You think so?
mdp.39015063525771	You think so?
mdp.39015063525771	You think so?
mdp.39015063525771	You think so?
mdp.39015063525771	You think so?
mdp.39015063525771	You think? Ach, no. mdp.39015063525771 You thought it would be?"
mdp.39015063525771	You told him to go to the devil?
mdp.39015063525771	You understand your position?
mdp.39015063525771	You want the statu- ette?
mdp.39015063525771	You want to go with him?
mdp.39015063525771	You want to take me somewhere?
mdp.39015063525771	You wanted to ask us something, did n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	You went up the valley and Woodham left you about — where?
mdp.39015063525771	You were trying to save him, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	You were — how many hours from Miirren?
mdp.39015063525771	You were, were n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	You wo n't help me?
mdp.39015063525771	You wonder how it happened?
mdp.39015063525771	You would n't think our Mr. Luker used excursion trains, would you?
mdp.39015063525771	You — you take it she fell?
mdp.39015063525771	You'll excuse me, sir? mdp.39015063525771 You'll not deny he was killed by that injury to the head?"
mdp.39015063525771	You'll produce it, of course?
mdp.39015063525771	You're amusing your- self, are n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	You're for the prosecution, so you ca n't hear the other side?
mdp.39015063525771	You're giving us a long week- end, are n't you? mdp.39015063525771 You're going back to the house?"
mdp.39015063525771	You're not in a hurry to publish anything, are you?
mdp.39015063525771	You're quite satisfied it's really of the Stone Age?
mdp.39015063525771	You're satisfied, doctor?
mdp.39015063525771	You're thinking of the knife?
mdp.39015063525771	You're thinking something, sir?
mdp.39015063525771	You've been climbing?
mdp.39015063525771	You've been got at already, have you? mdp.39015063525771 You've had'em all a long time?"
mdp.39015063525771	You've no idea what the stuff was?
mdp.39015063525771	You've nothing more to tell us, have you?
mdp.39015063525771	You've noticed that's unusual? mdp.39015063525771 ''Blanco?
mdp.39015063525771	''What does he want the police to do?"
mdp.39015063525771	''You mean he's not telling us the truth, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	'Ow's that for a dollar now?"

mdp.39015063525771	282 MR. FORTUNE SPEAKING"It would save trouble, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	A sturdy fellow confronted him, handsome in a sleek sallow way, and scowled,"Mr. Fortune, is it?"
mdp.39015063525771	A suicide?"
mdp.39015063525771	A woman in wood?"
mdp.39015063525771	Akers?"
mdp.39015063525771	All at once?
mdp.39015063525771	All museum pieces?"
mdp.39015063525771	Am I satisfied now?
mdp.39015063525771	An unknown Michael Angelo?"
mdp.39015063525771	And between — between the what?"

mdp.39015063525771	And her burglar?
mdp.39015063525771	And how the deuce did Mr. Dessart get the mediaeval touch?
mdp.39015063525771	And if he is, what's happened to his wife?"
mdp.39015063525771	And if we did get somewhere, where are we?
mdp.39015063525771	And what about them Mr. blooming Frant put away, George Akers and Landomere?
mdp.39015063525771	And what am I supposed to do with it?"
mdp.39015063525771	And what gave it him?"
mdp.39015063525771	And what happens next?"
mdp.39015063525771	And what then?"
mdp.39015063525771	And what's Pam's idea?"
mdp.39015063525771	And where was he?"
mdp.39015063525771	And whose little idea was it there ought to be?"
mdp.39015063525771	And why does Mr. Bure get his skull fractured to help on the slump in Zodiacs?"
mdp.39015063525771	Another accident?"

mdp.39015063525771	Are n't we pious?
mdp.39015063525771	Are the mothers over?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are they going to make out Franklin Lee did it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are we going to have another verdict against persons unknown, Lomas?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are we here on business?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are you a man and a brother?
mdp.39015063525771	Are you feeling neg- lected?
mdp.39015063525771	Are you going to give me in charge?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are you one of the family?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are you sure now?"
mdp.39015063525771	Are you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Ay, ay, ay, but we'll be none 36 MR. FORTUNE SPEAKING too proud of it, eh, Smith?
mdp.39015063525771	Bates?"
mdp.39015063525771	Bates?"
mdp.39015063525771	Be gentle with us, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	Beautiful piece, is n't it, Lomas?
mdp.39015063525771	Because Trove brought us here?
mdp.39015063525771	Been rather careful about that, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Before he came here — do you know if he did any?"
mdp.39015063525771	Begins with the family of Dessart, does n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	Between what tombs?
mdp.39015063525771	Bonham?"
mdp.39015063525771	Bure?"
mdp.39015063525771	But I mean, was it all over in a minute for him, like that?"
mdp.39015063525771	But Trove's search party ought to have looked both sides, ought n't they?"
mdp.39015063525771	But as to treatment — you have no suggestions?"
mdp.39015063525771	But come in — or wo n't you wash?
mdp.39015063525771	But how could a fellow who THE PAINTED PEBBLES 179 knew as much as that expect his modern paint would be accepted?
mdp.39015063525771	But if he did it why did he want to consult me?"
mdp.39015063525771	But in spite of the old 31o MR. FORTUNE SPEAKING alive and see each other's face?
mdp.39015063525771	But is it what one has to do or what has been done, about persons or places, or things?
mdp.39015063525771	But this one was great, eh?
mdp.39015063525771	But this trick?
mdp.39015063525771	But were you pulling my leg about the lion fish?"
mdp.39015063525771	But what about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	But what is the game?
mdp.39015063525771	But what is the infection?"
mdp.39015063525771	But what was he?
mdp.39015063525771	But where are the jewels?
mdp.39015063525771	But where exactly are we, Pam?
mdp.39015063525771	But who wrote that Greek?
mdp.39015063525771	But why had Stanley, Bates and Stanley suddenly struck in?
mdp.39015063525771	But why should anyone?
mdp.39015063525771	But why the devil should the same man have to kill both Akers and Landomere?"
mdp.39015063525771	But why was he scared?
mdp.39015063525771	But why was she so affected?
mdp.39015063525771	But why was the cipher in Meyer's suit- case?"
mdp.39015063525771	But why would he?"
mdp.39015063525771	But you found it quite innocent?"
mdp.39015063525771	But you will, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063525771	But you would n't advise him to publish, would you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Butler set the stones falling on Trove?"
mdp.39015063525771	Butler?"
mdp.39015063525771	By the way, what about his evidence — the evidence for 162 MR. FORTUNE SPEAKING the learned cave men?
mdp.39015063525771	Can I bring her in?"
mdp.39015063525771	Can I drop you anywhere?"
mdp.39015063525771	Can you tell me if there is any possibility he was infected by this man who attacked him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Christopher and Cecil are pretty good evidence, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063525771	Cigar- ette?
mdp.39015063525771	Could I speak to you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Could it be done?"
mdp.39015063525771	Could n't it be?"
mdp.39015063525771	Could n't you work it with him at Watlings?
mdp.39015063525771	Could you show me where the stones fell?"
mdp.39015063525771	David — that's Trove's friend?"
mdp.39015063525771	Dessart, Aristide?"
mdp.39015063525771	Dessart?
mdp.39015063525771	Dessart?
mdp.39015063525771	Did I ever?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did Miss Fison notice anything about the body?
mdp.39015063525771	Did Mr. Luker happen to mention that?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did Piers write it himself?
mdp.39015063525771	Did anyone send you to me?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did anything strike you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did n't you know?
mdp.39015063525771	Did n't you learn any- thing at school?
mdp.39015063525771	Did n't you show him up over some find in a Cotswold cave?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did she 18o MR. FORTUNE SPEAKING write it?
mdp.39015063525771	Did that pacify him?''
mdp.39015063525771	Did you believe him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did you do the excavation yourself, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did you not see I tried to stop you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did you think this would happen when he heard?"
mdp.39015063525771	Did you want to tell me some- thing?"
mdp.39015063525771	Dillon?'
mdp.39015063525771	Do I know?"
mdp.39015063525771	Do you love me, Joan?"
mdp.39015063525771	Do you mind?
mdp.39015063525771	Do you mind?"
mdp.39015063525771	Do you put a date to them?"
mdp.39015063525771	Do you think he suffered much?"
mdp.39015063525771	Do you want any money now?"
mdp.39015063525771	Does Luker know the hand?"
mdp.39015063525771	Does n't matter, does it?
mdp.39015063525771	Does n't use drugs much in the ordinary way, does he?"
mdp.39015063525771	Does that satisfy you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Dr. Dillon, I presume?
mdp.39015063525771	Everything in train, eh?
mdp.39015063525771	Excuse me, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	Farm, is it?"

mdp.39015063525771	Fyle?"
mdp.39015063525771	Got a nerve, has n't he?
mdp.39015063525771	Had he never heard of the tele- phone?
mdp.39015063525771	Had n't you noticed it?
mdp.39015063525771	Had you a stick with you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Had you better?"
mdp.39015063525771	Has she said anything else?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have n't you any use for Blanco?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you any proof of that?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you brought any false whiskers?"

mdp.39015063525771	Have you had any miracles in Scotland Yard?'"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you looked into his alibi?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you made up your mind it is n't true beforehand?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you noticed that soothes people?
mdp.39015063525771	Have you put it to him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you seen the pebbles and the mammoths?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you seen these?"
mdp.39015063525771	Have you shown Mr. Fortune his room?"
mdp.39015063525771	He rolled into the police station to find 241 THE GERMAN SONG 243 collects jewellery and keeps it somewhere off the map?"
mdp.39015063525771	He was from down here too?
mdp.39015063525771	He was right too, was n't he?"
mdp.39015063525771	He's in the old- bones line too, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063525771	How about trying the church?"
mdp.39015063525771	How are you?
mdp.39015063525771	How are you?
mdp.39015063525771	How can you?
mdp.39015063525771	How could he make Piers believe that a Greek line in English writing meant anything to worry about?
mdp.39015063525771	How is the old ruffian?"
mdp.39015063525771	How many million books are there in the world, tell me?
mdp.39015063525771	How much do you know?"
mdp.39015063525771	How was it torn, doctor?
mdp.39015063525771	How's the country looking, Reginald?"
mdp.39015063525771	How?
mdp.39015063525771	I hope she's not doing badly?"
mdp.39015063525771	I mean to say, suppose he was seen in Yeovil, what about 94 MR. FORTUNE SPEAKING it?
mdp.39015063525771	I say, ca n't we sit down and be comfy?"
mdp.39015063525771	I say, sir, did n't we ought to put the police on to it quick?
mdp.39015063525771	I suppose he suggested Janverin could write best in the dark, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063525771	I suppose you have had a brain wave?"
mdp.39015063525771	I told Bell to sort him out. ” “ Not known to the police? ” “ Not hitherto.
mdp.39015063525771	I wonder would you mind if I asked his daughter about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	I'm asking you, sir, do you know anybody who's keen after this sort of stuff?"
mdp.39015063525771	I?"
mdp.39015063525771	If I did n't know old man Vandyke had the Melrose candlestick, I""Do you?"
mdp.39015063525771	If a murderer could drug his whisky, why bother with this dangerous business of cutting his throat?"
mdp.39015063525771	If he was mad for Luker's blood why did he go and look for his wife?"
mdp.39015063525771	Is it the sort of stick that could crack a man's skull?"
mdp.39015063525771	Is it your way in England to let a man know you suspect him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Is n't it so, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	Is she coming round?"
mdp.39015063525771	Is the old man off his head?
mdp.39015063525771	Is their brandy worthy of them?
mdp.39015063525771	It is Mignon's song, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	It's a lucky doctor who can be sure of that every time, eh?"
mdp.39015063525771	Janverin?"
mdp.39015063525771	Janverin?"
mdp.39015063525771	Janverin?"

mdp.39015063525771	Lee?"
mdp.39015063525771	Lomas inhaled smoke/"That is to say we've hit up against somebody in a large way of busi- ness?"
mdp.39015063525771	Lomas repeated"Good Gad, you do n't suppose the man's death was seen from an aeroplane?"
mdp.39015063525771	Look, this Sir Ulyett, why should he think it anything but the ordinary accident?
mdp.39015063525771	Luke's?"
mdp.39015063525771	Luker's ill.""What's the matter with him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Luker?"
mdp.39015063525771	Makes you feel very futile and human, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Mary Dessart might see it — or some silly fool would tell her about it — what would she be up to?
mdp.39015063525771	May I have a copy?
mdp.39015063525771	Might be in with a collector — some of'em are n't too particular, are they?
mdp.39015063525771	Might look after my chauffeur, will you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Must you go?"
mdp.39015063525771	My child, do you remember the Dean?
mdp.39015063525771	My dear Dubois, are you going back to Paris to- night?
mdp.39015063525771	My dear Lomas, surely you have experts for this sort of thing?"
mdp.39015063525771	My dear child, Are things what they seem or is visions about?
mdp.39015063525771	Nasty temper?"
mdp.39015063525771	Nasty thing, eh?"
mdp.39015063525771	Nice and discreet, like me?"
mdp.39015063525771	No more?"
mdp.39015063525771	No?
mdp.39015063525771	No?
mdp.39015063525771	No?"
mdp.39015063525771	Not in it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Not quite playing the game, is it, Mr. Fortune?
mdp.39015063525771	Now are you satisfied?"
mdp.39015063525771	Now, sir, what do you say?"
mdp.39015063525771	Oh yes, if you want — who is it for?"
mdp.39015063525771	Oh, he had seen the things?"
mdp.39015063525771	One small cigar?"
mdp.39015063525771	Or did he?
mdp.39015063525771	Or did you want to get rid of him?
mdp.39015063525771	Ought to buck her up, what?
mdp.39015063525771	Pardon me. ” He went into The pould likat?"
mdp.39015063525771	Perhaps he'd come to know too much?
mdp.39015063525771	Perhaps you've heard of me?"
mdp.39015063525771	Piers?"
mdp.39015063525771	Pigeon?"
mdp.39015063525771	Pres- sin'on to closin'time?'
mdp.39015063525771	Rather passing it on, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063525771	Referrin'to our conversation of even date — what's the theory?
mdp.39015063525771	Resumin'the narrative — what did Meyer say about these exhibits?"
mdp.39015063525771	Run Bill in by mistake?
mdp.39015063525771	See?
mdp.39015063525771	See?"

mdp.39015063525771	Seen the papers?"
mdp.39015063525771	Shall I read them all?
mdp.39015063525771	She looked at me in a puzzled way and muttered something like'Who pushed me?'"
mdp.39015063525771	Smithson's told you all about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Smithson?"
mdp.39015063525771	So Dillon got on with Mrs. Heath — till she fell into the pool?"
mdp.39015063525771	So Mr. Franklin Lee is in Zodiacs, is he?"
mdp.39015063525771	So planchette wrote it, did she, Mr. Janverin?
mdp.39015063525771	Sounds luscious, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Speakin'in confidence, do you believe in his theory?"
mdp.39015063525771	Speakin'strictly, we do n't get anywhere, do we?"
mdp.39015063525771	Stay here?
mdp.39015063525771	Suppose she knows Greek, why in wonder should she write it in English letters?

mdp.39015063525771	THE PAINTED PEBBLES 181"Any results?"
mdp.39015063525771	That bein'that — and having thought it over — what's the matter with your position?"
mdp.39015063525771	That was good business, eh?
mdp.39015063525771	That was it, was it?"
mdp.39015063525771	That would be your business, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	That'll be better, wo n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	That's good enough, what?"
mdp.39015063525771	That's spooks, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063525771	That's the point of interest, is n't it?"

mdp.39015063525771	Want to know who that is?
mdp.39015063525771	Warning what camp?
mdp.39015063525771	Was anybody about in the park when she fell?"
mdp.39015063525771	Was he like this when you found him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Was it fair, was it right that Fortune should traverse the medical evidence already sworn on such small grounds?
mdp.39015063525771	Was there an accident?"
mdp.39015063525771	We could certify death from exposure, could n't we?"
mdp.39015063525771	We watched her""You watched me, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063525771	Well placed, was n't it?
mdp.39015063525771	Were the lights on when the body was found?
mdp.39015063525771	Were there any jewels — I mean to say, precious stones?"
mdp.39015063525771	Were you waiting for the'phone?"
mdp.39015063525771	Were you warning him that he must n't expect to live?"
mdp.39015063525771	What about Mr. Jan- verin who does n't know Greek?
mdp.39015063525771	What about his hat, Smith?"
mdp.39015063525771	What about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	What about me, keeping me down here in the grave to have me trapped like a blooming rat at last?
mdp.39015063525771	What about the light?"
mdp.39015063525771	What about the mysterious Janverin?
mdp.39015063525771	What are the police for?
mdp.39015063525771	What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063525771	What can I do for you, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	What did you get out of this daughter?"
mdp.39015063525771	What did you think of Luker's condition?"
mdp.39015063525771	What do they know?
mdp.39015063525771	What do you believe?
mdp.39015063525771	What do you know about George Akers?"
mdp.39015063525771	What do you really think about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	What do you say to that?"
mdp.39015063525771	What do you think's wrong with it?"
mdp.39015063525771	What does it matter?
mdp.39015063525771	What does it matter?
mdp.39015063525771	What does the man want, Reggie?"
mdp.39015063525771	What exactly did she say?"
mdp.39015063525771	What exactly is the connection between Butler and Ulyett?"
mdp.39015063525771	What exactly was it that put you on to the place?"
mdp.39015063525771	What happened to him all those years?
mdp.39015063525771	What have they done with the charming woman?
mdp.39015063525771	What have we here?"
mdp.39015063525771	What have you been doing, Mr. Brown?
mdp.39015063525771	What have you done with Ulyett?"
mdp.39015063525771	What have you to do with the Dean's wife?"
mdp.39015063525771	What if he did the salting himself?
mdp.39015063525771	What in wonder is that other word?
mdp.39015063525771	What is a fact?
mdp.39015063525771	What is it?"
mdp.39015063525771	What is this find?
mdp.39015063525771	What is this, then?
mdp.39015063525771	What is this, then?"
mdp.39015063525771	What is to do, Fortune?"
mdp.39015063525771	What jargon is that?
mdp.39015063525771	What sort of a fellow is your secretary, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	What then?
mdp.39015063525771	What then?
mdp.39015063525771	What was Luker's disease, Doran?
mdp.39015063525771	What was he like?"
mdp.39015063525771	What was he?"
mdp.39015063525771	What was his next move?
mdp.39015063525771	What was the cause of death?
mdp.39015063525771	What was the matter with poor old Piers?

mdp.39015063525771	What's happened?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's he done?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's he say about it?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's her age?
mdp.39015063525771	What's it for?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's my lord Bill expect?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's the Archdeacon like, Pam?
mdp.39015063525771	What's the doctor's telephone number, Stein?
mdp.39015063525771	What's the matter with him?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's the matter?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's the sense of that?
mdp.39015063525771	What's the theory?"
mdp.39015063525771	What's your solemn talk for?"
mdp.39015063525771	What?
mdp.39015063525771	What?
mdp.39015063525771	What?
mdp.39015063525771	What?
mdp.39015063525771	When did those showers break?
mdp.39015063525771	Where did she fall?"
mdp.39015063525771	Where did the deceased keep it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Where have you been?"
mdp.39015063525771	Where is he?"
mdp.39015063525771	Where is it?"
mdp.39015063525771	Where's the jury that would convict on this?"
mdp.39015063525771	Who is he, Lomas?
mdp.39015063525771	Who is that, please?"
mdp.39015063525771	Who is the un- explained Brett?"
mdp.39015063525771	Who sent him?"
mdp.39015063525771	Who was he?"
mdp.39015063525771	Who was he?"
mdp.39015063525771	Who's the doctor?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why begin the cipher with Mignon?
mdp.39015063525771	Why believe Aristide?
mdp.39015063525771	Why bring me in a hearse?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why did I never think of that?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why did he never try for Luker's blood till now?
mdp.39015063525771	Why did it all have to happen?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why did it happen?
mdp.39015063525771	Why did it happen?
mdp.39015063525771	Why did it have to happen, Lomas?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why did it have to happen?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why did n't he spot the paint?
mdp.39015063525771	Why did n't he?
mdp.39015063525771	Why did she go?
mdp.39015063525771	Why did she?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why did they all come here, Stein?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why do the English come to Swit- zerland?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why does the inquest on Mr. Bure send Zodiacs up?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why expect him to be normal?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why in wonder should anybody want sprays of labur- num in autumn?
mdp.39015063525771	Why is that?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why not do something yourself?
mdp.39015063525771	Why then is he in Paris talking to father Klix?
mdp.39015063525771	Why this pre- mature return to the shop?
mdp.39015063525771	Why?
mdp.39015063525771	Why?"
mdp.39015063525771	Why?"
mdp.39015063525771	Will you excuse me?
mdp.39015063525771	Will you guess what he has done?
mdp.39015063525771	Without a word?
mdp.39015063525771	Wo n't he, Val?"
mdp.39015063525771	Wonderful, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063525771	Working on it?
mdp.39015063525771	Would n't they come to tea?
mdp.39015063525771	Would you care for a drink?
mdp.39015063525771	Would you say there's any chance the things were stolen — for another collector?"
mdp.39015063525771	You are Mr. Fortune?
mdp.39015063525771	You ca n't do anything, can you, Fortune?"
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't care for statuary, do you?"
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't doubt that?"
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't happen to have a photograph?"
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't mean to say you've got it?"
mdp.39015063525771	You do n't suggest crime?''
mdp.39015063525771	You fellows got a car?
mdp.39015063525771	You know, I wonder if I'm giving a lot of trouble?"
mdp.39015063525771	You mean the policeman might be indiscreet?
mdp.39015063525771	You meant — what he did?"
mdp.39015063525771	You really think there is a chance, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063525771	You remember?
mdp.39015063525771	You saw him at the inquest, did n't you?
mdp.39015063525771	You think Sir Ulyett planned for them to go this expedition?"
mdp.39015063525771	You will help me, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063525771	You wo n't tell me?
mdp.39015063525771	You would n't mind giving me your name?"
mdp.39015063525771	Yours too?"
mdp.39015063525771	ZODIACS 19"It all fits, does n't it, sir?"
mdp.39015063525771	ZODIACS 39 “ Oh, you go as far as that? ” “ Look at it.
mdp.39015063525771	said Reggie severely,"what have you done with the lady?"
mdp.39015063525771	“ And where are we then?
mdp.39015063525771	“ Anything else you want?"
mdp.39015063525771	“ Have you warned the police?"
mdp.39015063525771	“ I forget- did you ever know Piers James Piers? ” said Pigeon.
mdp.39015063525771	“ I suppose Lee has got hold of something that dishes Zodiacs? ” “ I dare say.
mdp.39015063525771	“ Shrill and peevish. ”* Really? ” Lomas lit a cigarette.
mdp.39015063525771	“ Smith?"
mdp.39015063525771	“ What are we coming to?
mdp.39015063525771	“ Who's the little sportsman with the soprano voice? ” The Hon.
mdp.39015063525771	” “ Oh my dear fellow?
mdp.39015063525771	•"Want a report for the Public Prosecutor?"
mdp.39015063959418	A search- warrant, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	About twenty miles out of here, is n't it?
mdp.39015063959418	Accounts for what?
mdp.39015063959418	All right, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	Among the letters you found was there one in a female handwriting, and signed'A Friend of Mr. Les- singham'?
mdp.39015063959418	An accident, eh?
mdp.39015063959418	And I suppose I can be described as a manufac- DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 23 turer's agent, ca n't I, Skipper?
mdp.39015063959418	And Mr. Lessingham had n't thought of George Love then, eh?
mdp.39015063959418	And did your husband actually come home on Thursday?
mdp.39015063959418	And he did n't lock you up at the end of it? mdp.39015063959418 And how did he dispose of his own car?"
mdp.39015063959418	And how would you proceed to answer it?
mdp.39015063959418	And if the pin were removed?
mdp.39015063959418	And she comes to see you at this time of night? mdp.39015063959418 And this map with the card folded inside it?"
mdp.39015063959418	And what are your deductions from these facts, my boy?
mdp.39015063959418	And what business might that be of yours, guv'» nor?
mdp.39015063959418	And what deductions do you draw from this, Su- perintendent?
mdp.39015063959418	And what did he say, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	And what is the gentleman's name?
mdp.39015063959418	And what was the last you saw of him?
mdp.39015063959418	And where does this George Love live?
mdp.39015063959418	And yet you found this car in the ditch as you came along?
mdp.39015063959418	And you removed nothing whatever from these rooms except those letters and photographs?
mdp.39015063959418	And, once fitted, they were readily detachable?
mdp.39015063959418	Anything more we can do for you, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063959418	Are n't you, Orchard?
mdp.39015063959418	As one man to another, would you mind telling me exactly what it is you're getting at?
mdp.39015063959418	Before I answer that question, Superintendent, how do you reconcile the finding of Lessingham's car with your theory?
mdp.39015063959418	Both you and the deceased were taking part in a contest, I believe?
mdp.39015063959418	Breakdown?
mdp.39015063959418	But I thought that the coroner had ruled that the technical reasons for the accident were of no importance?
mdp.39015063959418	But could this control not be lost through a mechanical failure of the mechanism, rather than through a physical failure on the part of the driver?
mdp.39015063959418	But does waiting for that event exhaust all the possibilities? mdp.39015063959418 But how could he tell that the headlights were those of the car Lessingham was driving, sir?"
mdp.39015063959418	But of what did he make his imitation? mdp.39015063959418 But still you might have overtaken it between Moorchester and here?"
mdp.39015063959418	But surely, that is something?
mdp.39015063959418	But what became of Peg- asus after the event? mdp.39015063959418 But what could have been his object, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	But what was Ellingwood's object in thus send- ing a telegram to himself, and signing it Lessingham?
mdp.39015063959418	But what was his scheme, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	But who murdered him, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	But why did n't you let me in on all this?
mdp.39015063959418	But why, in heaven's name, why?
mdp.39015063959418	But, after all, Professor, have you established the proof?
mdp.39015063959418	By his methods, I suppose you mean the way he brought the accident about, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	Ca n't you be a little more explicit, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	Can I look in again in a day or two, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	Can you say how long they have been dead, Doc- tor?
mdp.39015063959418	Careless?
mdp.39015063959418	Could you give me an idea of what proportion of DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 93 these have been delivered in the neighbourhood of Lon- don?
mdp.39015063959418	Could you give us a general idea of his conversa- tion?
mdp.39015063959418	Did any of you notice if there were marks of tires on the road, beyond where the two cars were stopped?
mdp.39015063959418	Did any of your party, at any of these controls, notice particularly what other competitors were do- ing?
mdp.39015063959418	Did n't Mr. Lessingham explain why, although the Rally finished on Thursday, he would n't be back here till Saturday?
mdp.39015063959418	Did n't he even have some hobby?
mdp.39015063959418	Did the experts see Mr. Chalk's car before the ac- cident took place?
mdp.39015063959418	Did you actually see them?
mdp.39015063959418	Did you find any letters?
mdp.39015063959418	Did you form any theory to account for the be- haviour of the car, as shown by the tracks?
mdp.39015063959418	Do cows lurk in ditches at night and pounce out upon the unsuspecting wayfarer?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you always do this sort of thing in the case of a pure accident?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you consider yourself an expert on the subject of motor- cars?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you happen to know what your speedometer was registering when the car was stolen?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know when it left the control?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you see that the pin is not quite the same colour as the rest of the chassis? mdp.39015063959418 Driven, not pushed?"
mdp.39015063959418	First of all, Superintendent, have you established the identity of the prisoner?
mdp.39015063959418	For that matter, Superintendent, what becomes of your theory that Orchard sent the telegram himself?
mdp.39015063959418	Had Mr. Chalk any idea of the reading when the car was stolen?
mdp.39015063959418	Had a good time while you were away, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	Have you a specimen of Purvis's handwriting?
mdp.39015063959418	Have you examined the back axle?
mdp.39015063959418	He did n't happen to mention the name of the gentle- man in the car, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	He left here as early as that, did he?
mdp.39015063959418	He was a friend of Mr. Lessingham's, then?
mdp.39015063959418	How are we getting on?
mdp.39015063959418	How can you tell that a new pin has been fitted?
mdp.39015063959418	How could it have been? mdp.39015063959418 How did Mr. Lessingham usually spend his day?"
mdp.39015063959418	How do you explain the apparent fact that Les- singham was not delayed by this fog?
mdp.39015063959418	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063959418	How far from Moorchester did the accident take place?
mdp.39015063959418	How long are we to be kept hanging about here? mdp.39015063959418 How on earth did you guess that, Professor?"
mdp.39015063959418	I expect that Mr. Merefield has told you about our adventures on Saturday, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	I gather that your course was marked out for you, and that you had to report at various controls en DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 29 route?
mdp.39015063959418	I imagine that steps are being taken to trace the origin of the wrecked car?
mdp.39015063959418	I presume that it is possible to negotiate it by night?
mdp.39015063959418	I say, does n't it strike you that Lessingham went to a lot of trouble to steal one car? mdp.39015063959418 I seem to remember that name, Hedgeworth, do n't you, Harold?
mdp.39015063959418	I suppose you wo n't tell me what you want to do with them? mdp.39015063959418 I won- der who the lady of the telegram can have been?"
mdp.39015063959418	I wonder if you could tell me exactly what was done to Mr. Chalk's car before you delivered it to him?
mdp.39015063959418	I wonder where that turning leads to? mdp.39015063959418 Indeed?"
mdp.39015063959418	Indeed?
mdp.39015063959418	Is that pin one of your standard spare parts?
mdp.39015063959418	Is that so?
mdp.39015063959418	Is that so?
mdp.39015063959418	Is that you, Orchard?
mdp.39015063959418	Is there by any chance a quan- tity of sand or some similar substance available?
mdp.39015063959418	Is there not a tool- kit carried on the car?
mdp.39015063959418	It could be predicted, with some certainty, that Les- singham would take the route through Westernham after leaving Moorchester?
mdp.39015063959418	It was just about here, was n't it, Harold?
mdp.39015063959418	It was not in any sense a speed test?
mdp.39015063959418	Looks much the same as when we turned up that morning, does n't it?
mdp.39015063959418	Meanwhile, this is the car, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	Mr. Aubrey Lessingham lived here?
mdp.39015063959418	Mr. Farrant? mdp.39015063959418 No, why?"
mdp.39015063959418	Not Mr. Lessingham's car?
mdp.39015063959418	Not exactly overpopulated round about here, is it?
mdp.39015063959418	Not very helpful, is it?
mdp.39015063959418	Nothing about her has been altered? mdp.39015063959418 Now did you have any strangers in that evening?"
mdp.39015063959418	Now your occupations, please?
mdp.39015063959418	Now, can you describe to us the conditions at the Moorchester control?
mdp.39015063959418	Now, my boy, will you insert this paper in such a way that it will replace the pin which you have just ex- tracted?
mdp.39015063959418	Now, were you able to observe the reading now showing on the instru- ment?
mdp.39015063959418	Now, what became of them? mdp.39015063959418 Now, will you do exactly as you did that morning, pulling up exactly in the same place as you did then?"
mdp.39015063959418	Now, will you please write this? mdp.39015063959418 Oh, so he struck you that way too, did he?
mdp.39015063959418	Oh, you did, did you? mdp.39015063959418 On which side of the road did you go on to the grass?"
mdp.39015063959418	Restaurants and night clubs, eh? mdp.39015063959418 Sand?"
mdp.39015063959418	Shall we go in to dinner?
mdp.39015063959418	Since you come in company with Mr. Merefield, I take it that your visit is concerned with the unfortunate event to which I have referred?
mdp.39015063959418	Since you think that you will be able to retrace your route, Mr. Weldon, shall we start? mdp.39015063959418 So that Mr. Lessingham's car may have been only a short time ahead of you?
mdp.39015063959418	So that if any tracks had existed, they would by then have been indistinguishable?
mdp.39015063959418	So that's it, is it?
mdp.39015063959418	Still on the trail, eh? mdp.39015063959418 Suggesting at once that they had been thrown from it, in a forward direction, by the impact?"
mdp.39015063959418	Suppose we return to the lounge and discuss the vari- ous points involved?
mdp.39015063959418	Surely it's enough that I found myself unable to go?
mdp.39015063959418	Surely, sir, Lessingham would have assured himself of that before he took it over?
mdp.39015063959418	That you, Doctor? mdp.39015063959418 That's all very well, but where are we to get it from?
mdp.39015063959418	The accident?
mdp.39015063959418	The car that he was driving was similar in every way to the one he bought?
mdp.39015063959418	The car you're taking me to see did n't come in this way, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	The point is, did he leave any traces of his visit behind him?
mdp.39015063959418	The point is, what did they do with Lessingham's own car? mdp.39015063959418 Then how do you account for the fact that their tracks were not visible on the photographs taken by Sergeant Showerby?"
mdp.39015063959418	Then my theory has proved to be not so ridiculous as it appeared to you at first sight?
mdp.39015063959418	Then what was the object, Professor? mdp.39015063959418 Then why not leave his own car in this hiding place, thereby lessening the risk of discovery of the stolen car?
mdp.39015063959418	Then you are interested in all this, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	Then you would n't recognize the gentlemen who got into the Comet if you saw them again?
mdp.39015063959418	Then, if they did n't fall asleep, how did the accident happen? mdp.39015063959418 They must have been in front of you then?"
mdp.39015063959418	To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
mdp.39015063959418	Was he alone when he left here?
mdp.39015063959418	Was he? mdp.39015063959418 Was there any ques- tion of a race between you?"
mdp.39015063959418	Well then, who did? mdp.39015063959418 Well, Orchard, and who's the lady?"
mdp.39015063959418	Well, Superintendent?
mdp.39015063959418	Well, and what do you gentlemen want?
mdp.39015063959418	Well, can you suggest any other cause of the acci- dent?
mdp.39015063959418	Well, have you discovered anything?
mdp.39015063959418	Were any of them strangers to you?
mdp.39015063959418	Were other than competing cars allowed in this parking place?
mdp.39015063959418	Were there any grounds for supposing that the disaster was not purely accidental?
mdp.39015063959418	Were there any other cars in the drive then?
mdp.39015063959418	Were there any tracks visible in front of it, that is to say, on the Westernham side?
mdp.39015063959418	What about Pagani's? mdp.39015063959418 What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063959418	What becomes of this mysterious George Love now?
mdp.39015063959418	What did you do?
mdp.39015063959418	What did you wish to see me about?
mdp.39015063959418	What do you make of those?
mdp.39015063959418	What do you mean exactly by his losing control of the car?
mdp.39015063959418	What do you think would be the best way for me to get to work, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	What further steps do you propose to take?
mdp.39015063959418	What happened when his friend turned up?
mdp.39015063959418	What have you to say on that point, my boy?
mdp.39015063959418	What is it that you want the driver to do?
mdp.39015063959418	What is that, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	What is the answer to this one?
mdp.39015063959418	What sort of people are they? mdp.39015063959418 What time is it?"
mdp.39015063959418	What tools do you want?
mdp.39015063959418	What was this very queer circumstance to which you refer?
mdp.39015063959418	What's he up to?
mdp.39015063959418	What's on, exactly? mdp.39015063959418 What's the next move?"
mdp.39015063959418	What's your idea, then, Skipper?
mdp.39015063959418	When did you first hear of Mr. Lessingham's acci- dent?
mdp.39015063959418	When will you want me back, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	Where did he keep his car?
mdp.39015063959418	Where did you pick her up?
mdp.39015063959418	Where do they live?
mdp.39015063959418	Where the devil are we? mdp.39015063959418 Where's the old boy off to?"
mdp.39015063959418	Who is the lady, by the way?
mdp.39015063959418	Who was that, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	Why could n't the old boy have told me before I came down here? mdp.39015063959418 Why did he throw the telegram into the grate in his room?
mdp.39015063959418	Why is it not proof against you?
mdp.39015063959418	Why, do n't you see, there might have been letters and a photograph or two? mdp.39015063959418 Why, indeed?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why, man alive, you do n't suppose he meant to 78 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP turn up at Torquay, do you?
mdp.39015063959418	Will you come in?
mdp.39015063959418	Will you excuse me for a moment?
mdp.39015063959418	Will you explain the system of stencilling cars, Harold?
mdp.39015063959418	Would you mind taking it out for us?
mdp.39015063959418	Would you mind telling me the contents of the tele- gram?
mdp.39015063959418	Would you mind telling me why you consider it ridiculous?
mdp.39015063959418	Would you mind telling me, in strict confidence, how many you have sold since then?
mdp.39015063959418	You are hardly yet in a position to apply for a warrant, are you?
mdp.39015063959418	You came here to consult him as to the notice in the newspapers about your telegram, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	You had seen him since the accident?
mdp.39015063959418	You have a route book similar to this, Mr. Wel- don?
mdp.39015063959418	You have more recent particulars, of course?
mdp.39015063959418	You have n't found anything to account for the accident, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	You have retained the objects which you found in his pockets, I hope?
mdp.39015063959418	You mean that somebody exchanged one car for the other without his knowledge?
mdp.39015063959418	You mean, I suppose, that you dare not question Ellingwood without previously warning him, I take it?
mdp.39015063959418	You received a telephone message from Western- ham yesterday morning, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	You remember that I said I had arranged to have Lessingham's car, and everything found with it, sent DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 237 V up to London? mdp.39015063959418 You think it possible that Mr. Lessingham slept at Moorchester last night?"
mdp.39015063959418	You would n't expect us to keep the same distance apart over eight hundred miles odd, would you? mdp.39015063959418 You'll admit that the only person who could have substituted one car for another was the man who stole Mr. Chalk's?
mdp.39015063959418	You'll keep me in touch with the developments, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063959418	You're number five thirteen, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	You're satisfied that they made a thorough examina- tion?
mdp.39015063959418	You've no idea where he went to, I suppose?
mdp.39015063959418	Your advertisement?
mdp.39015063959418	Your cousin, eh?
mdp.39015063959418	'"You had arranged to meet Mr. Lessingham then?"
mdp.39015063959418	220 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP still retain any trace of human feelings?"
mdp.39015063959418	240 DR. PRIESTLET LAYS A TRAP"Surely this displays a carelessness strangely at vari- ance with his carefully thought out scheme?"
mdp.39015063959418	39 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 41 seater Comet sports, painted grey, among them?"
mdp.39015063959418	62 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP"Are you prepared to state whether death was due to the abdominal injuries or to shock?"
mdp.39015063959418	90 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP"Had Mr. Lessingham any definite occupation?"
mdp.39015063959418	A bit of recon- struction work, eh?"
mdp.39015063959418	Am I none the less a murderer be- cause I am not present at that time?"
mdp.39015063959418	And how is he going to do that, I'd like to know?"
mdp.39015063959418	And if that does n't mean that they can have a drink when they're there, what does it mean, I should like to know?
mdp.39015063959418	And what the dickens does he mean by hoping that you will keep yourself free over the week- end?
mdp.39015063959418	And what would you say if I told you that Lessingham and his passenger had nearly six hours'sleep at the Im- perial Hotel in Moorchester last night?"
mdp.39015063959418	And which of you gentlemen is the owner of this car?"
mdp.39015063959418	And yours, sir?
mdp.39015063959418	And, by Jove, were n't they driving a Comet?
mdp.39015063959418	Any DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 5 chance of a drink?
mdp.39015063959418	Are we still sup- posed to be the bold bad boys who forced the Comet into the ditch?
mdp.39015063959418	Are you off already?
mdp.39015063959418	Are you quite sure that there is no mis- take?"
mdp.39015063959418	At what speed would you estimate this car to have been travelling when the accident hap- pened?"
mdp.39015063959418	Believed at one time to have been engaged to a distant connection, Thomas Purvis — rather queer, that, is n't it, Professor?
mdp.39015063959418	Both driver and pas- senger killed, were n't they?
mdp.39015063959418	Burford?"
mdp.39015063959418	Burford?"
mdp.39015063959418	Burford?"
mdp.39015063959418	But I'd like to know how much longer this is going to last?
mdp.39015063959418	But a stray cow or some- thing like that?"
mdp.39015063959418	But first of all, who was the thief, assuming, as I do, that he and Lessingham were not associated in the theft?
mdp.39015063959418	But had n't you better come and see for yourself?
mdp.39015063959418	But how could such a failure be controlled?
mdp.39015063959418	But suppose that, unknown to her, he had already discovered it, and had determined to kill Lessingham?
mdp.39015063959418	But was she a party to her husband's schemes?
mdp.39015063959418	But was that all she had taken?
mdp.39015063959418	But what about that will of Mr. Purvis's which you mentioned to me?"
mdp.39015063959418	But what advantage was it to him to exchange it for an exactly similar car?
mdp.39015063959418	But what did he want it for?
mdp.39015063959418	But what was his object, since you have just told me that he would be penalized if he arrived at Torquay before his time?"
mdp.39015063959418	But why should he do so?
mdp.39015063959418	But you do n't think that some- one had marked my car down as their particular prey, do you?"
mdp.39015063959418	But you wo n't mind if I criticize your theory a bit, will you?"
mdp.39015063959418	But, seriously, what's that got to do with this Lessingham business?"
mdp.39015063959418	By the way, are you satisfied with the report on the car, or are you going to call in the Comet people?"
mdp.39015063959418	By the way, were any maps found in the car which Lessingham was driving?"
mdp.39015063959418	By the way; you remember those photographs Sergeant Showerby took?
mdp.39015063959418	Can Women Forget?
mdp.39015063959418	Catesby's?"
mdp.39015063959418	Chalk's?"
mdp.39015063959418	Chalk?"
mdp.39015063959418	Could you hold the light a little closer, Mr. Weldon?
mdp.39015063959418	DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 11"What about the other fellow?"
mdp.39015063959418	DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 115 Can you spare me Mr. Merefield again for an hour or two tomorrow morning?"
mdp.39015063959418	DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 141"Well, Superintendent?"
mdp.39015063959418	DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 227"Now, Mrs. Burford, perhaps you will allow me to escort you to the taxi which you have waiting?"
mdp.39015063959418	DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 37"In that case, what would be the appearance of the wheel tracks of the car?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did Mr. Fellingwood bring a suit- case with him, or anything like that?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did Thomas Purvis inherit the estate, or did he not?
mdp.39015063959418	Did anybody think of bringing a torch along?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did anyone see him driving a car known to be Mr. Chalk's?
mdp.39015063959418	Did it drop from the car accidentally?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did n't I tell you that Aubrey told me that he had n't seen her himself since he was a child?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did n't you spot it on one of those yellow A.A. signs as we came through?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did the crim- inal remove them from the car after the accident, and if so, what was his object in doing so?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did the porter tell you what time they arrived?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you discuss any other method by which the mileage record could be falsified?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you have a breakdown, or something?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you have this done?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you notice that the whole front axle was knocked right back?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you observe the damage more closely this morning?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you see this accident happen?"
mdp.39015063959418	Did you think of asking the folk in the poultry farm over there if they'd seen or heard any- thing?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do n't you recognize either of us?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do those folks over there make a good thing out of it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you con- sider such a speed to be safe at night?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you habitually leave it unattended in any other place, Mr. Chalk?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know anybody of the name of Ellingwood?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know anything about that?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know that parallel road?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know the detailed particulars of your car?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know what their conversation was DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 187 about?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you know, I've a pretty shrewd suspicion that Orchard had been round those rooms and destroyed everything compro- mising before we got there?
mdp.39015063959418	Do you remember the evening of Wednesday, the second?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you suppose that the Imperial Hotel at Moorchester would be incon- veniently crowded?"
mdp.39015063959418	Do you suppose that they all took the road through Westernham?"
mdp.39015063959418	Does n't that sug- gest that Lessingham was in the plot?
mdp.39015063959418	Does that suggest anything to you?"
mdp.39015063959418	Does the old road run along the crest of it for the whole of that distance?"
mdp.39015063959418	Driven over the edge, eh?"
mdp.39015063959418	Each competitor was given a route book on starting, which he had to produce at each control to be stamped with the time of his arrival?"
mdp.39015063959418	Ellingwdod?"
mdp.39015063959418	Even suppos- ing that he was?
mdp.39015063959418	Failing that, how would you like to pay a call on Sergeant Showerby?"
mdp.39015063959418	Gateman?"
mdp.39015063959418	Gateman?"
mdp.39015063959418	Got a pencil and a bit of paper on you?"
mdp.39015063959418	Had Ellingwood discovered that Lessingham had not made a will, and that Purvis was to accompany him on the Rally?
mdp.39015063959418	Had he dragged it about with him during the night of the first and second?
mdp.39015063959418	Had it any peculiarity that made it of 146 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP special value to him?
mdp.39015063959418	Had they reached a control?
mdp.39015063959418	Had you been in Mr. Lessingham's place, what would you have done if an animal had suddenly appeared in the road just in front of you?"
mdp.39015063959418	Has it not occurred to you, Superintendent, that the substitution of the cars was the direct cause of the accident which happened shortly afterwards?"
mdp.39015063959418	Has the professor broken this to Superintendent Hanslet?"
mdp.39015063959418	Have n't you brought our friend the superin- tendent with you this morning?"
mdp.39015063959418	Have n't you spotted that yet?
mdp.39015063959418	Have you found him?"
mdp.39015063959418	Have you got a small scale map of England handy, Professor?"
mdp.39015063959418	Have you, for instance, discovered who sent the telegram to Lessingham?"
mdp.39015063959418	He is, I gather from what you have told me, convinced that Lessingham stole the car from Mr. Catesby's drive during Tuesday night?"
mdp.39015063959418	He left the route book and everything else that Lessingham was carrying?"
mdp.39015063959418	He only got it last month, did he?"
mdp.39015063959418	He was twenty- six minutes in front of you, then?"
mdp.39015063959418	His car was smashed up in the Rally the other day, I hear?
mdp.39015063959418	Honestly now, is n't that a good enough case?"
mdp.39015063959418	How can the demonstration be arranged?"
mdp.39015063959418	How could the guilt of X be made to conform with the facts in your posses- sion?
mdp.39015063959418	How did it come to be where we found it?
mdp.39015063959418	How did the thief happen to choose this particular car for his purpose?"
mdp.39015063959418	How do we know that Purvis and Mr. Chalk were not acquainted?"
mdp.39015063959418	How do you explain that?"
mdp.39015063959418	How do you know that that unfortunate individual knew anything about it?"
mdp.39015063959418	How do you know?
mdp.39015063959418	How does he propose to proceed?"
mdp.39015063959418	How else could the thief know where his car was to stop, and what his number was?"
mdp.39015063959418	How far did you calculate it was from Windsor to Moorches- ter?"
mdp.39015063959418	How far were his answers to the superintendent's questions reliable?"
mdp.39015063959418	How long would the job take the three of them?"
mdp.39015063959418	How on earth do you make that out?"
mdp.39015063959418	How should anybody else have known of that particular quarry?
mdp.39015063959418	How was he going to explain the fact that there was no stencil mark on the car he was driving?
mdp.39015063959418	How was it that the car was not moving?
mdp.39015063959418	How were the flag and the official number attached to the competing cars, Har- DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 137 old?"
mdp.39015063959418	How would it be if we went into the coffee room and had lunch together?"
mdp.39015063959418	How, then, could he arrange to be present?
mdp.39015063959418	However, presum- ing your assumption to be correct for the moment, could Lessingham have gained any advantage by changing his car en route?"
mdp.39015063959418	Hullo, what in thunder is he play- ing at?"
mdp.39015063959418	I do n't suppose you had much time for food while you were driving?"
mdp.39015063959418	I say we, because I gather I'm to be made use of?
mdp.39015063959418	I won- der what's become of the driver and his passenger?"
mdp.39015063959418	I wonder if Mr. Lessingham was married?
mdp.39015063959418	I wonder if you could spare Mr. Merefield for a day or two?"
mdp.39015063959418	If Lessing- ham's business was perfectly straight and above board, why should Orchard have invented this cock and bull yarn?"
mdp.39015063959418	If so, how had it come to be handed in at South Kensington, and why had Orchard so obviously lied about it?
mdp.39015063959418	If you were engaged upon that, how would you begin?"
mdp.39015063959418	In fact, can you draw any deduction from it?"
mdp.39015063959418	In that case, how could Orchard have any knowledge of the means of disposal of Lessingham's car?"
mdp.39015063959418	Is it not possible that Lessingham stayed in the car while Purvis dispatched the telegram for him?"
mdp.39015063959418	Is it possible that the application of the brakes caused the wobble and the final swerve?
mdp.39015063959418	Is it put- ting you out at all?"
mdp.39015063959418	Is that any evidence that he stole it?
mdp.39015063959418	Is that proof positive that you stole it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Is there anything impossible in this hypothesis?"
mdp.39015063959418	Is there anything to be done for him?"
mdp.39015063959418	Is there anywhere here where we can sit down and talk?"
mdp.39015063959418	Lessingham was the name of one of them, was n't it?
mdp.39015063959418	Lessingham?"
mdp.39015063959418	Lessingham?"
mdp.39015063959418	Lessingham?"
mdp.39015063959418	Look here, Inspector, it's none of my business, but who is carrying out that examination?"
mdp.39015063959418	Look here, will your friend Mr. Weldon be called upon to explain why he did not finish?"
mdp.39015063959418	Look here; what if their lights failed suddenly?
mdp.39015063959418	May I ask what line your investigations are about to take?"
mdp.39015063959418	Mr. Harold Merefield?
mdp.39015063959418	Mr. Richard Gate- man?
mdp.39015063959418	No gadgets fitted, or anything of that kind?"
mdp.39015063959418	No signs of the driver, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959418	Not more than a minute or so, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063959418	Now, Superintendent, what are you going to do about it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Now, can you remove that pin for us?"
mdp.39015063959418	Now, can you tell me if Mr. Lessingham actually occu- pied the room?"
mdp.39015063959418	Now, of what did he, in fact, die possessed?
mdp.39015063959418	Now, what was his scheme?
mdp.39015063959418	Other- wise, why did he consent to the substitution?"
mdp.39015063959418	Per- haps you will read it to us?"
mdp.39015063959418	Perhaps you can explain it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Perhaps you would like to hear them?"
mdp.39015063959418	Perhaps you'd like to see 53 54 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Purvis?"
mdp.39015063959418	See, some way above it, there's a green light?
mdp.39015063959418	Short and to the point, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Since no other tracks are visible, I gather that no great volume of traffic uses the road?"
mdp.39015063959418	Slip over to the car and fetch it, will you, Harold?
mdp.39015063959418	Still —"You ca n't give me a hint as to who killed Lessing- ham, if your theory's right?"
mdp.39015063959418	Sup- posing he had been held up and questioned?
mdp.39015063959418	Suppose we get back to Westernham?"
mdp.39015063959418	Suppose, in fact, that he was the hitherto unknown quantity X?"
mdp.39015063959418	Sure you wo n't have another drink?
mdp.39015063959418	Talking about the local constable, would you care to run over to his place?
mdp.39015063959418	That means that you both travelled at about the same average speed?"
mdp.39015063959418	That was generally known, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063959418	That's about it, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959418	That's it, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959418	That's logical enough, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063959418	The first question you will then ask yourself is, what was the motive of the substitution?
mdp.39015063959418	The important point seems to be, was it in perfect order at the time of the substitution?"
mdp.39015063959418	The latter took the opportunity of whispering to his companion:"What's this stunt we're on?"
mdp.39015063959418	The second is, what is the exact function of this pin?
mdp.39015063959418	Then, in his normal voice, he continued,"And what is your explanation of these facts?"
mdp.39015063959418	This remarkably self- possessed woman, look- ing for compromising letters?
mdp.39015063959418	Understand?"
mdp.39015063959418	Was Mrs. Ellingwood the sender of that mysterious telegram?
mdp.39015063959418	Was it a joke or something?"
mdp.39015063959418	Was it possible that that meeting was to have 188 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP taken place at Torquay?
mdp.39015063959418	Was there, after all, any necessity to drag her intrigue into the light of day?
mdp.39015063959418	Weldon?"
mdp.39015063959418	Weldon?"
mdp.39015063959418	Weldon?"
mdp.39015063959418	Weldon?"
mdp.39015063959418	Weldon?"
mdp.39015063959418	Well, will you follow us?
mdp.39015063959418	Were you not at the inquest upon Mr. Lessing- ham at Westernham yesterday?"
mdp.39015063959418	What about Orchard?
mdp.39015063959418	What about it?
mdp.39015063959418	What about walking along the road to where the smash happened, and hav- 50 DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP ing another look at things?"
mdp.39015063959418	What did he say to you?"
mdp.39015063959418	What do you make of that, eh?"
mdp.39015063959418	What do you make of the hand- writing itself?"
mdp.39015063959418	What do you think, Mr. Merefield?
mdp.39015063959418	What had Purvis got to do with it?"
mdp.39015063959418	What had he done with it?
mdp.39015063959418	What had he to gain?
mdp.39015063959418	What happened to you?
mdp.39015063959418	What if the driver lost control trying to pass something on the DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 51 road?
mdp.39015063959418	What is your next objection, Superintendent?"
mdp.39015063959418	What made him send for Richard like that while I was out?
mdp.39015063959418	What made you select the inland road?"
mdp.39015063959418	What more suit- able person than Burford, in his capacity as a map- publisher, could be found to draw up the route?
mdp.39015063959418	What on earth does one do here?
mdp.39015063959418	What time were we due at Moorchester?"
mdp.39015063959418	What was it that you were about to say, Harold?"
mdp.39015063959418	What would happen?"
mdp.39015063959418	What would have happened then?"
mdp.39015063959418	What's she like?"
mdp.39015063959418	What's your name, to begin with?"
mdp.39015063959418	What, then, have you gained by the discovery?"
mdp.39015063959418	When did you expect him back?"
mdp.39015063959418	Where did competitors leave their cars while they were reporting?"
mdp.39015063959418	Where did you find it?"
mdp.39015063959418	Where did you gentlemen start from?"
mdp.39015063959418	Where does she live, this cousin of yours?"
mdp.39015063959418	Which of Mr. Lessingham's lady friends would be likely to go down and stay with i DR. PRIESTLEY LAYS A TRAP 85 him at Torquay?
mdp.39015063959418	Which, in your opinion, is most likely?"
mdp.39015063959418	Who did he expect to meet at Torquay?"
mdp.39015063959418	Who sent that telegram?"
mdp.39015063959418	Who was it?
mdp.39015063959418	Who were these people?"
mdp.39015063959418	Who's he?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why did he do this?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why did you hit upon eight forty- five p.m.?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why did you say he chose to start from Bath at nine o'clock?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why had he sent for Richard, and through him prompted Bob to issue his invitation?
mdp.39015063959418	Why should I?
mdp.39015063959418	Why should he hide the stolen car all through Wednesday, with the risk that it would be found during that time?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why should he wish to steal a similar one?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why should n't he?
mdp.39015063959418	Why should n't his visitor wait while he had a shave?
mdp.39015063959418	Why should not Lessingham have been in exactly the same position?
mdp.39015063959418	Why should not the cars have been substituted without his knowledge?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why was this done if the steering gear was in perfect order when the car passed out of Mr. Chalk's posses- sion?
mdp.39015063959418	Why, if Mr. Lessingham lived in London, should he have started on the Rally from Bath?"
mdp.39015063959418	Why?
mdp.39015063959418	Will one of you show me the way?"
mdp.39015063959418	Will that suit you?"
mdp.39015063959418	Will you describe to me again how the bodies of Lessingham and his passenger were lying when you first saw them?"
mdp.39015063959418	Will you meet me at the corner of Dover Street and Piccadilly at nine sharp tomorrow morning?"
mdp.39015063959418	Will you stay here, or come up to my room?"
mdp.39015063959418	Would Les- singham give him Ellingwood's address?
mdp.39015063959418	Would Mrs. Ellingwood, who, by her own account, had not seen Lessingham for years, have added this endear- ment?
mdp.39015063959418	Would it be possible to turn a car in it without much difficulty?"
mdp.39015063959418	Would it be troubling you too much to drive to the spot again then?"
mdp.39015063959418	Would you like to hear about an adventure that happened to me last night?"
mdp.39015063959418	Would you mind calling at the police station on your way home, and asking them to send a constable out here on a bicycle at once?"
mdp.39015063959418	You can see the difference, now I've pointed it out to you?
mdp.39015063959418	You do n't suggest that Pur- vis snatched the wheel and drove the car into the ditch, do you?"
mdp.39015063959418	You remember the place where the spanner was found, and where we decided that Mr. Chalk's car must have been concealed?
mdp.39015063959418	You will not deny that this, in fact, took place?"
mdp.39015063959418	You're sure the people you saw were dead, and not merely stunned?"
mdp.39015063959418	man examine the maker's numbers on the car?"
mdp.39015063956570	A case of this sort? mdp.39015063956570 After dinner, can you remember what happened?"
mdp.39015063956570	Ah?
mdp.39015063956570	Ah?
mdp.39015063956570	And Mr. Peter Thursford?
mdp.39015063956570	And as he was living on a private income, you saw no signs of business troubles?
mdp.39015063956570	And as soon as the bets were made, Mr. Coniston drove off?
mdp.39015063956570	And did he sign some paper or other, to clinch the thing?
mdp.39015063956570	And if you find a flaw in the business, then it's all the better for everybody, is n't it? mdp.39015063956570 And in the case of a man who thinks a lot about money, it would be more apt to slip out; is that what you mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	And now I suppose you want me to go up and see old Thursford's body?
mdp.39015063956570	And sat down to eat his lunch to pass the time?
mdp.39015063956570	And that would account for all this mystery- mongering over the transactions in the shares, would n't it? mdp.39015063956570 And these letters were found on Mr. Peter Thursford and Mr. Falgate?
mdp.39015063956570	And you have n't a notion who the principal was?
mdp.39015063956570	And you never heard of Mr. Peter Thursford's death?
mdp.39015063956570	And you, Mr. Coniston, what would £ 50,000 mean to you, if we happened to win?
mdp.39015063956570	And you, Mr. Thursford? mdp.39015063956570 And you?"
mdp.39015063956570	Any- thing like that amongst your crystal at the Cottage by any chance? mdp.39015063956570 Anyone else care to take a hand?"
mdp.39015063956570	Anything else in the pockets?
mdp.39015063956570	Archaeology, geology, the picturesque, or something in the historical line? mdp.39015063956570 Are all these people still waiting at Thursfords'?"
mdp.39015063956570	Are you keen on wireless?
mdp.39015063956570	Are you sure about the time of his last visit?
mdp.39015063956570	As bad as that? mdp.39015063956570 As freakish as all that?"
mdp.39015063956570	But about poor Jack? mdp.39015063956570 But some of the rest of the Syndicate are?"
mdp.39015063956570	But what's the motive behind the whole affair? mdp.39015063956570 But your client would rather have the money with- 64 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS out the fuss, eh?"
mdp.39015063956570	Can you drive us down?
mdp.39015063956570	Can you remember what the sums were?
mdp.39015063956570	Can you think of anything else?
mdp.39015063956570	Care for a round on Tuesday?
mdp.39015063956570	Checkley? mdp.39015063956570 Confidence?"
mdp.39015063956570	Could you give me an envelope, please?
mdp.39015063956570	Could you tell me exactly what happened before he started?
mdp.39015063956570	D'you think I wrote out that paper with- out thinking about it? mdp.39015063956570 Did Mr. Falgate ever come about the house?"
mdp.39015063956570	Did either of you see Mr. Thursford at dinner last night?
mdp.39015063956570	Did he drink more than usual at dinner?
mdp.39015063956570	Did he give you any indication of his plans on the morning of his death?
mdp.39015063956570	Did he seem pleased with it when he read it?
mdp.39015063956570	Did you attach any importance to it when you re- ceived it?
mdp.39015063956570	Did you ever detect any tendency to vertigo in him?
mdp.39015063956570	Did you examine the contents of the stomach?
mdp.39015063956570	Did you see the maid?
mdp.39015063956570	Did you see your uncle open that letter, Miss Thurs- ford?
mdp.39015063956570	Do I need the glass to see it?
mdp.39015063956570	Do you keep track of your empty bottles? mdp.39015063956570 Do you mean to say you would n't want more?"
mdp.39015063956570	Do you recall any other purchases which he made?
mdp.39015063956570	Do you take it more seriously now?
mdp.39015063956570	Drunk in charge of a motor? mdp.39015063956570 Eh?
mdp.39015063956570	From what you saw of him, would you say he was a good walker?
mdp.39015063956570	Going by air, as usual?
mdp.39015063956570	Gorgeous day, is n't it? mdp.39015063956570 Had you a key of the house?"
mdp.39015063956570	Had you been drinking?
mdp.39015063956570	Halstead, what about you?
mdp.39015063956570	Has he been much about the house lately? mdp.39015063956570 Has there been a smash?"
mdp.39015063956570	Has there been an accident? mdp.39015063956570 Have I been running amuck and killed somebody without knowing anything about what I was doing?
mdp.39015063956570	Have I had one of these loss- of- memory turns? mdp.39015063956570 Have some coffee before you produce the hand- cuffs?"
mdp.39015063956570	Have you received a copy of this threatening letter which has already been communicated to the jury?
mdp.39015063956570	He could n't have lost his balance in a gust of wind, and toppled over the edge?
mdp.39015063956570	He expected it, perhaps?
mdp.39015063956570	He's dead, is n't he?
mdp.39015063956570	Hell's Gape?
mdp.39015063956570	Him that's dead? mdp.39015063956570 How can you get round that?
mdp.39015063956570	How could I?
mdp.39015063956570	How did you come to find out about U?
mdp.39015063956570	How did you tackle the business?
mdp.39015063956570	How long's he been dead, do you think?
mdp.39015063956570	How much does each of us stand to win if we draw the winner?
mdp.39015063956570	How should I know?
mdp.39015063956570	How's your wireless doing, these days, Harry?
mdp.39015063956570	How?
mdp.39015063956570	I suppose he wanted Miss Langdale to get engaged to him again?
mdp.39015063956570	I suppose the door was left open when you heard all this?
mdp.39015063956570	I suppose you do n't know of any other member of your Syndicate who's sold part of his share?
mdp.39015063956570	I suppose you've seen the result of the Draw?
mdp.39015063956570	In conversation with you, did he ever say that he speculated?
mdp.39015063956570	Inspector Severn, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	Is he hurt?
mdp.39015063956570	Is he very badly hurt?
mdp.39015063956570	Is it essential that you should pry into my private affairs? mdp.39015063956570 Is that all?
mdp.39015063956570	Is this the I 184 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERSWhat about the threatening letters?"
mdp.39015063956570	Is your brother in? mdp.39015063956570 It's another threatening letter, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	Let's see, what else is there that you'd find worth your while? mdp.39015063956570 Looks like it, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063956570	May I ask, Mr. Severn, what all this is about? mdp.39015063956570 Me?"
mdp.39015063956570	Miss Langdale let you in? mdp.39015063956570 Mr. Thursford?
mdp.39015063956570	Mr. Wendover's told you all about it?
mdp.39015063956570	Mr. Willenhall, would you care to take a share?
mdp.39015063956570	Now what about this key she mentions? mdp.39015063956570 Oh, on that side?"
mdp.39015063956570	Oh, that was it?
mdp.39015063956570	Oh, this?
mdp.39015063956570	Oh, you think that?
mdp.39015063956570	On the morning of June 13th — the day of his death — the deceased received a letter by the first post?
mdp.39015063956570	Out there?
mdp.39015063956570	Question is, was it meant as anything more than a joke?
mdp.39015063956570	Quite dead, you mean? mdp.39015063956570 Revengeful, do you mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	Same or different?
mdp.39015063956570	See that spinney across there, Clinton? mdp.39015063956570 She gave you no address?"
mdp.39015063956570	So that's what he wanted to be sure about?
mdp.39015063956570	So your idea is that Checkley and Falgate have been working this affair together?
mdp.39015063956570	Stop a minute or two, will you? mdp.39015063956570 Suicide?
mdp.39015063956570	Suppose that the idea was in his head when the in- junction was launched, what would his obvious line be? mdp.39015063956570 Sure you do n't need me for anything?
mdp.39015063956570	That would be about eleven o'clock, then?
mdp.39015063956570	The deceased used to purchase his photographic films at your shop, did n't he?
mdp.39015063956570	The deceased was a member of a Syndicate, the Novem Syndicate, which drew the second horse in the Hospitals Sweep?
mdp.39015063956570	The deceased was not worried by it?
mdp.39015063956570	Then Mr. Thursford did n't take the saloon, did he?
mdp.39015063956570	Then naturally a hint of something fresh in the way of a recipe would attract your attention at once?
mdp.39015063956570	Then the whole lot of these three rolls of film were just spoof pictures taken by Harry Thursford and not by Willenhall? mdp.39015063956570 Then what do you propose to do?"
mdp.39015063956570	Then why do you take a ticket?
mdp.39015063956570	Then you think these threatening letters were meant to be taken seriously after all?
mdp.39015063956570	Then you think we should come to terms with these people?
mdp.39015063956570	Then you turned to something else?
mdp.39015063956570	Then, if the girl's out of money, I sup- pose he's got her safe enough?
mdp.39015063956570	Then, so far as you could see, he had n't been taking a dose of a drug which might have made him giddy and so caused him to fall from the cliff?
mdp.39015063956570	There are several roads from here up to Crowland's Corner?
mdp.39015063956570	There was no one in the car with him?
mdp.39015063956570	There would n't have been much point in having you dogged by people you knew, would there? mdp.39015063956570 There's a lot of embarrass- ment in £ 50,000, is n't there?"
mdp.39015063956570	There's a police fund, is n't there, for providing supplements to pensions of debilitated Chief Constables and other small fry? mdp.39015063956570 There's no harm in signing this, is there?
mdp.39015063956570	This week- end?
mdp.39015063956570	This what you meant when you said that an un- successful attempt at an alibi is damning?
mdp.39015063956570	Two visits?
mdp.39015063956570	Vertigo, or something like that?
mdp.39015063956570	Want to have another prowl round, Inspector, before we pack up and go?
mdp.39015063956570	Well, Mr. Checkley's mind runs a bit on money, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	Well, anything more I can do for you in the matter of the local antiquities? mdp.39015063956570 Were you ringing him up?"
mdp.39015063956570	What about Mr. Checkley? mdp.39015063956570 What d'you mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	What did it matter to me? mdp.39015063956570 What did the note say?"
mdp.39015063956570	What did you expect him to say?
mdp.39015063956570	What did your uncle do after lunch, can you tell me?
mdp.39015063956570	What do you say to a tramp over the moors? mdp.39015063956570 What do you think of Coniston's death coming on top of the aeroplane crash and the business at Hell's Gape?"
mdp.39015063956570	What do you think of that? mdp.39015063956570 What do you want me to do?"
mdp.39015063956570	What does it mean to me? mdp.39015063956570 What does £ 50,000 mean to me, eh?
mdp.39015063956570	What else would it mean? mdp.39015063956570 What evidence is there to produce if the High Court asks for our interpretation of the document?"
mdp.39015063956570	What happened after that?
mdp.39015063956570	What happened after that?
mdp.39015063956570	What happened when you met?
mdp.39015063956570	What happened? mdp.39015063956570 What impression did you form of this document?"
mdp.39015063956570	What kind of dope, do you suppose?
mdp.39015063956570	What made you think that?
mdp.39015063956570	What made you think there must have been a bur- glary at Checkley's?
mdp.39015063956570	What miracle, sir?
mdp.39015063956570	What one?
mdp.39015063956570	What sort of decanter was it?
mdp.39015063956570	What sort of note?
mdp.39015063956570	What time was that, can you remember?
mdp.39015063956570	What time was that?
mdp.39015063956570	What took you to London?
mdp.39015063956570	What would I get out of it?
mdp.39015063956570	What would I want if I had £ 50,000?
mdp.39015063956570	What's beyond that?
mdp.39015063956570	What's that?
mdp.39015063956570	What's your evidence for the alibis of the other people on the night of Peter Thursford's death?
mdp.39015063956570	What's your particular line of interest?
mdp.39015063956570	What's your view?
mdp.39015063956570	When did he purchase films from you last?
mdp.39015063956570	When did she give you that?
mdp.39015063956570	When did this happen?
mdp.39015063956570	When did you get home from Miss Hathern's?
mdp.39015063956570	When did you get there?
mdp.39015063956570	When you were at Azalea Cottage, did you see Miss Langdale? mdp.39015063956570 Which route had he taken?"
mdp.39015063956570	Who else was there tonight besides yourself?
mdp.39015063956570	Whom did you sell the share to?
mdp.39015063956570	Why did he resign? mdp.39015063956570 Why did you not leave your London address when you went there?
mdp.39015063956570	Why do I take a ticket in my club sweep? mdp.39015063956570 Why not?
mdp.39015063956570	Why should anyone want to make out that I wrote these things? mdp.39015063956570 Why should n't they see the agreement?
mdp.39015063956570	Why should we give up money to feather the nest of a fellow who does n't need it as much as we do? mdp.39015063956570 Why?"
mdp.39015063956570	With the accent on the adjective? mdp.39015063956570 Would you know the Commissionaire again?"
mdp.39015063956570	Yes?
mdp.39015063956570	Yes?
mdp.39015063956570	You and Miss Langdale remained behind, of course?
mdp.39015063956570	You are a member of this Novem Syndicate, I be- lieve?
mdp.39015063956570	You ca n't regard it as likely to throw any light on the deceased's death, then?
mdp.39015063956570	You ca n't suggest any reason for his fall?
mdp.39015063956570	You did n't find anything in his flask?
mdp.39015063956570	You did n't see him making his way up to Hell's Gape?
mdp.39015063956570	You did not notice any signs of vertigo in the de- ceased that morning?
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't attach any importance to this letter in connection with Mr. Willenhall's death?
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't know whether Mr. Coniston's been doing a deal, too? mdp.39015063956570 You do n't like being the Village Hero?"
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't mean to pretend you're going to listen to a bit of the programme?
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't think it was an accident?
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't think you could bring it home to him?
mdp.39015063956570	You had an appointment with the deceased on the morning of his death?
mdp.39015063956570	You had no business dealings with the deceased?
mdp.39015063956570	You have n't been up to Hell's Gape yet, have you?
mdp.39015063956570	You have n't parted with a share in your share of the ticket, by any chance?
mdp.39015063956570	You have n't the envelope, I suppose? mdp.39015063956570 You have two cars, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063956570	You identify this as the document you mention?
mdp.39015063956570	You mean the Dial of Ahaz?
mdp.39015063956570	You mean you would n't take either offer? mdp.39015063956570 You never saw his camera, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956570	You received a suggestion on these lines from the deceased?
mdp.39015063956570	You received this letter by the post?
mdp.39015063956570	You remember that recipe that Willenhall said he'd got hold of — the new brand of sweetmeat that some old woman or other makes? mdp.39015063956570 You see the thing too, Inspector?
mdp.39015063956570	You think it merely a joke?
mdp.39015063956570	You think not?
mdp.39015063956570	You want my pipe- dream to add to the bunch?
mdp.39015063956570	You want to try it on the dog before trying it on the jury?
mdp.39015063956570	You were not a member of this Syndicate yourself?
mdp.39015063956570	You'll move for this injunction, then? mdp.39015063956570 You'll sign, Harry?"
mdp.39015063956570	You're getting them too?
mdp.39015063956570	You're not thinking of paying?
mdp.39015063956570	You're quite sure about that?
mdp.39015063956570	You're sure that's the note you got?
mdp.39015063956570	You've had no communication whatever with him since then?
mdp.39015063956570	You've put the stretcher in?
mdp.39015063956570	You've seen the news?
mdp.39015063956570	You've told me everything you've found yourself, sir?
mdp.39015063956570	You, Coniston?
mdp.39015063956570	You, Coniston?
mdp.39015063956570	You, Falgate?

mdp.39015063956570	2 was the murderer, you mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	24 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS"That's agreed then?"
mdp.39015063956570	294 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS aged to get his own picture, just as if Willenhall had taken it?"
mdp.39015063956570	58 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS"What about you, Redhill?"
mdp.39015063956570	98 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS"Can you estimate how long he's been dead?"
mdp.39015063956570	?"
mdp.39015063956570	A smell of burning?
mdp.39015063956570	About midday, that was, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063956570	Accident?
mdp.39015063956570	Am I correct in that?
mdp.39015063956570	And if he had been killed in this way, how came there to be fumes of gunpowder actually inside the car?
mdp.39015063956570	And may I borrow your fountain- pen?"
mdp.39015063956570	And now what about the other side?"
mdp.39015063956570	And they were n't taken on that day at all, they were prepared beforehand?
mdp.39015063956570	And who would want to kill young Coniston, a very well- liked man, good friends with everyone, and quite popular in his own circle?
mdp.39015063956570	And who'll be the next?"
mdp.39015063956570	And why should it be necessary to put his set out of order?
mdp.39015063956570	Anybody care to subscribe?
mdp.39015063956570	Are we agreed?"
mdp.39015063956570	Are you coming back this way after you've been up at Hell's Gape?
mdp.39015063956570	Austin Sixteen- Six, is it?
mdp.39015063956570	Besides, supposing we were fools enough to give in, where does the money go?
mdp.39015063956570	Besides, were they not all a little inclined to jump to conclusions?
mdp.39015063956570	But do you think that satisfied him?
mdp.39015063956570	But that would n't hinder him going on with his original scheme, would it?
mdp.39015063956570	But what about the winner of the first prize?
mdp.39015063956570	But women?
mdp.39015063956570	But would a greedy small boy with a dirty nose- rag be so very careful not to leave any finger- prints?
mdp.39015063956570	By the way, I suppose it's that threatening letter we found in his pocket that's making you doubtful about it being a pure accident?"
mdp.39015063956570	By the way, Squire, would you mind if I put your wireless out of action temporarily in the cause of law and order?
mdp.39015063956570	By the way, have you any caves or things of that sort?
mdp.39015063956570	By the way, is that crabbed little fellow Alloway still police surgeon?"

mdp.39015063956570	Coming, Clinton?"
mdp.39015063956570	Could there be anything in the stuff after all?
mdp.39015063956570	Could you make him do something 152 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS which, in his normal state, he would refuse to do?
mdp.39015063956570	Could you make him lose control of his car?
mdp.39015063956570	D'you mind if I have a glance at it now, if you have it anywhere handy?"
mdp.39015063956570	D'you think you're a better man nor me?

mdp.39015063956570	Dead?
mdp.39015063956570	Dear Squire, If I can get off for a week- end soon, could you put me up?
mdp.39015063956570	Do I know how many emp- ties we've got just now?
mdp.39015063956570	Do you see anything interesting in them?"
mdp.39015063956570	Do you think one could do that in one of these fits — aphasia, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	Do you?

mdp.39015063956570	Eh?
mdp.39015063956570	Falgate?"
mdp.39015063956570	Fix it up later on, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063956570	Had n't we better see if we ca n't do something for him, before we start off?"
mdp.39015063956570	Had you to be present when he did the things you ordered him to do?
mdp.39015063956570	Harry Thursford blundered in with a direct ques- tion:"Is he killed, man?
mdp.39015063956570	Has Harry Thursford backed out?"
mdp.39015063956570	Have a cigar?
mdp.39015063956570	Have n't you got any sense or must we go on a bit further with the job before you get on to the idea that we mean business?
mdp.39015063956570	He did n't look under the weather, or anything of that sort, did he, when you saw him last?"

mdp.39015063956570	How could any decent girl touch a thing like that?
mdp.39015063956570	How did it happen?"
mdp.39015063956570	How did they fall into your hands?"
mdp.39015063956570	How did you man- age to import them into this innocent country?
mdp.39015063956570	How do you come to get hold of it?"
mdp.39015063956570	How do you get to it?"
mdp.39015063956570	How much is it, by the way?"
mdp.39015063956570	How much, if any, of Falgate's story was true?
mdp.39015063956570	How the devil do you know anything about it?"
mdp.39015063956570	How was he going to break the news, with the girl there?
mdp.39015063956570	How would that do?"
mdp.39015063956570	How would this do?
mdp.39015063956570	How would this do?
mdp.39015063956570	How would you phrase it?"
mdp.39015063956570	I mean, how was he killed?"
mdp.39015063956570	I take it that as it's purely a formal matter, you'll keep us in- formed of your procedure?"
mdp.39015063956570	I think you understand what I mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	I'll arrange with you later about the P. M. There'll be an inquest, of course?
mdp.39015063956570	If he committed these murders, why did he resign?"
mdp.39015063956570	If he's dead?
mdp.39015063956570	Is he all right again?
mdp.39015063956570	Is it this lawyer fellow, or is it the rest of us here?
mdp.39015063956570	Is that clear enough for you, Checkley?
mdp.39015063956570	Is that it?"
mdp.39015063956570	Is that it?"
mdp.39015063956570	Is that it?"
mdp.39015063956570	Is that quite clear — plain enough?"
mdp.39015063956570	Is that what you made of it?"
mdp.39015063956570	Is that what you mean?
mdp.39015063956570	It is?
mdp.39015063956570	It's a bit mysterious, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	Just tell us that, will you?"
mdp.39015063956570	Killed at once, was he?
mdp.39015063956570	Kirkham?"
mdp.39015063956570	Mackworth's?"
mdp.39015063956570	May I point out that Harry Thursford resigned from the Syndicate after Coniston's death?
mdp.39015063956570	Mind standing clear while I reverse?"
mdp.39015063956570	Mr. Checkley, what would THE SYNDICATE 25 fifty thousand pounds mean to you, if you do n't mind my putting the question?"
mdp.39015063956570	No?
mdp.39015063956570	No?"
mdp.39015063956570	Now are these from the same machine as the others, or from a different Remington?"
mdp.39015063956570	Now how about the wording?
mdp.39015063956570	Oh, I suppose you saw her ring?
mdp.39015063956570	Or again, suppose someone drugs a man and under the influence of the drug that man commits a crime, what is the legal position?
mdp.39015063956570	Or could you give him his instructions for some hour further on in the day?
mdp.39015063956570	Or could you make him step over a cliff?
mdp.39015063956570	Or d'you think he may have been kneeling down and bending over to get a flower, or something, on the cliff face?"
mdp.39015063956570	Or the letter itself?"
mdp.39015063956570	Or was it the maid?"
mdp.39015063956570	Or was that simply a mask for pure greed?
mdp.39015063956570	Or would one be reckoned as temporarily insane at the moment of the crime?
mdp.39015063956570	Or would you rather have a whiskey and soda?"
mdp.39015063956570	Or would you rather have your pipe?
mdp.39015063956570	Or your uncle?"
mdp.39015063956570	Or, if he were not shamming, was it a case of temporary aphasia or of dope?
mdp.39015063956570	Or, no, would you mind waiting for me and taking me up to the Grange after that?
mdp.39015063956570	Perhaps you saw more of him, Harry?"
mdp.39015063956570	Pulled himself together?"
mdp.39015063956570	Redhill?"
mdp.39015063956570	See what I mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	Severn?"
mdp.39015063956570	Soda, and such- like?"
mdp.39015063956570	Song?
mdp.39015063956570	Suppose one killed a man while one was suffering from loss of memory, would one be responsible?
mdp.39015063956570	Suppose you could hypnotise a man and get him under your control, how far would your influence go?
mdp.39015063956570	Sure you wo n't have some tea?
mdp.39015063956570	That looked like a greedy small boy, did n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	That means that the type is'off its feet'as THE ALIBI PROBLEM 249 she applied to some decent person, if she was in such a corner?
mdp.39015063956570	That ought to be a tidy sum of money?"
mdp.39015063956570	That seems fairer than selling a separate ticket to each man, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063956570	That would put the tiling in a different light, would n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	That's a plain question, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	That's eight, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	That's the plain truth, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956570	That's your case, sir?"
mdp.39015063956570	The maid must have been out, or else she would have been able to let me in, would n't she?
mdp.39015063956570	The question is: who is he?
mdp.39015063956570	The theft of the toffee was a blind, merely?"
mdp.39015063956570	Then Wendover heard her add in an undertone:"What's he like tonight?
mdp.39015063956570	Then what're you setting up as a judge for?
mdp.39015063956570	Then, with an air of a chairman opening a meeting, he remarked:"I suppose, gentlemen, that you've agreed to take the reasonable course?"
mdp.39015063956570	There are n't any holes in the turf that might suggest anything from that, sir?"
mdp.39015063956570	There are nine of us: call it the Novem Syndicate?
mdp.39015063956570	There's no chance that it was sui- cide and not accident, is there?
mdp.39015063956570	They're engaged, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063956570	They've got the ticket, you say?
mdp.39015063956570	Thursford?"
mdp.39015063956570	Understand that?
mdp.39015063956570	Was he really sincere in all this talk about justice and his rights?
mdp.39015063956570	Was it Viola that lay at the back of Falgate's af- fairs, and not money?
mdp.39015063956570	Was it worth it?
mdp.39015063956570	Was the man simply shamming?
mdp.39015063956570	Well, suppose that goes slightly out of adjustment, what's the result?
mdp.39015063956570	Wendover?"
mdp.39015063956570	Wendover?"
mdp.39015063956570	Wendover?"
mdp.39015063956570	Wendover?"
mdp.39015063956570	What I thought was: Why not form a small syndicate?
mdp.39015063956570	What I want to consult you about is strictly confidential, you understand?
mdp.39015063956570	What became of it?"
mdp.39015063956570	What did you do after that?"
mdp.39015063956570	What do you make of it?"
mdp.39015063956570	What do you mean to do with it?"
mdp.39015063956570	What do you think?
mdp.39015063956570	What does he gain in the business?"
mdp.39015063956570	What does it 26 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS mean to me?
mdp.39015063956570	What does it mean to you if you happen to sell a ticket for a horse that gets placed?"
mdp.39015063956570	What does £ 50,000 sug- gest to you, if you do n't mind telling us?"
mdp.39015063956570	What else would it mean?"
mdp.39015063956570	What have I got to do with the matter?"
mdp.39015063956570	What is it?"
mdp.39015063956570	What on earth had wireless to do with the case?
mdp.39015063956570	What right've you to go putting on airs, eh?
mdp.39015063956570	What sort?"
mdp.39015063956570	What's happened?"
mdp.39015063956570	What's the car?
mdp.39015063956570	What's the good of chucking away money if you think Barralong is n't going to be placed?"
mdp.39015063956570	What's this?"
mdp.39015063956570	What's this?"
mdp.39015063956570	What's wrong with gambling, if the stakes are on the table, eh?
mdp.39015063956570	What's wrong with it?
mdp.39015063956570	What've you ever done that gives you the right to be superior, eh?
mdp.39015063956570	Where are your credentials, Blackburn?
mdp.39015063956570	Where did Viola Langdale come in?
mdp.39015063956570	Where did you get hold of these letters?
mdp.39015063956570	Where do we begin?'
mdp.39015063956570	Where's Sir Clinton?"
mdp.39015063956570	Who was your uncle's lawyer?
mdp.39015063956570	Who were these mysterious beggars who bought their way into the Syndicate?
mdp.39015063956570	Who's doing the bouncing in this case, though?
mdp.39015063956570	Why does n't the coroner sit on him?"
mdp.39015063956570	Why had Checkley been so eager, all of a sudden, to make sure of the precise wording?
mdp.39015063956570	Why have gone to Peter Thursford of all people?
mdp.39015063956570	Why not go up to the door and ask for a glass of water?
mdp.39015063956570	Why should I?
mdp.39015063956570	Why should he be?"
mdp.39015063956570	Why should he?
mdp.39015063956570	Why?
mdp.39015063956570	Will you turn round and drive back for a sergeant and a couple of constables?
mdp.39015063956570	Willenhall?"
mdp.39015063956570	Wine?
mdp.39015063956570	Wireless?
mdp.39015063956570	Wo n't you come in and wait for him?"
mdp.39015063956570	Would he be carrying a stick?
mdp.39015063956570	Would he risk it?
mdp.39015063956570	Would you drive over here and see me tonight at 10.30 p. m.?
mdp.39015063956570	You can manage that all right?"
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't need me to tell you that, do you?"
mdp.39015063956570	You do n't?
mdp.39015063956570	You hear?
mdp.39015063956570	You know what I mean?
mdp.39015063956570	You mean Checkley was the author of these threatening letters?"
mdp.39015063956570	You mean there was some monkeying with that spool of film after the first three exposures were taken on it?
mdp.39015063956570	You say he had a bet on?
mdp.39015063956570	You see that?"
mdp.39015063956570	You thought I was mixed up in it because of those letters?
mdp.39015063956570	You wo n't join, Halstead?
mdp.39015063956570	You'll be able to fake up a printing- frame so that you can get prints from the various negatives, even if they are n't sepa- rated?"
mdp.39015063956570	You'll let me know if you happen to remember anything that might put me on to it?"
mdp.39015063956570	You've been having a meeting of your Syndicate, have n't you?
mdp.39015063956570	You, Checkley?"
mdp.39015063956570	Yours sincerely G. Willenhall 110 THE SWEEPSTAKE MURDERS"Was he on time when you met him?"

nyp.33433074808399	A boy like that capable of murder? ”.
nyp.33433074808399	Almost automatically a phrase was running through his mind with the monotony of a coach's wheels along a track: “ A boy like that capable of murder?
nyp.33433074808399	And Grandmother?
nyp.33433074808399	And be- sides, what would Campbell think of him — of the fantastically fickle course he had seemed to pur- sue?
nyp.33433074808399	And did n't she know that he had his own phone there on the desk before him?
nyp.33433074808399	And no weapon was found in the room? ” “ I think not — no, I'm sure of it. ” Estabrook pondered.
nyp.33433074808399	And now what picture does the future show?
nyp.33433074808399	And then — then I came here. ” “ You came here because your uncle was here? ” Cape frowned.
nyp.33433074808399	And then, as if seeking a short cut to a solider foundation—“But what am I to do?
nyp.33433074808399	And what then?
nyp.33433074808399	And you were deeply interested in a group of men who had been speaking about — what was it they men- tioned?
nyp.33433074808399	And — did you see your uncle? ” Again Cape frowned, and for a time he seemed unable or unwilling to continue.
nyp.33433074808399	Boston Trans — what's that? ” “ Transcript.
nyp.33433074808399	But ah, what is this we see in a few days?
nyp.33433074808399	But ca n't you see how it would be worth while a thousand times over?
nyp.33433074808399	But what had become of the weapon?
nyp.33433074808399	But why not be quite frank?
nyp.33433074808399	Campbell, I think? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ If my action is n't ill- timed.
nyp.33433074808399	Can you understand that, and do you believe me? ” “ I believe you, ” said Cape in a low voice.
nyp.33433074808399	Could any right- minded individual fail to know precisely what to say?
nyp.33433074808399	Did he reach for a re- volver? ”- Estabrook paused, perplexed, with something of the manner of a hunting dog which has been thrown off the scent.
nyp.33433074808399	Did n't the girl at the switchboard know that he was alone in the local room at present?
nyp.33433074808399	Estabrook? ” asked the strange voice.
nyp.33433074808399	Go up. ” 230 Whispers hind a curtain at a se- ance?—when it seemed like the air was full of hands?
nyp.33433074808399	Had the officer taken it and failed to mention it in his report?
nyp.33433074808399	Have I made it plain? ” “ Very, ” said Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	He asked, “ What did she do? ” Estabrook smiled delightedly.
nyp.33433074808399	He pondered a moment and then asked, “ And your story?
nyp.33433074808399	How could he tell Cape in a word what had happened?
nyp.33433074808399	How did it happen? ” Estabrook considered.
nyp.33433074808399	How else could one account for the fact that it was missing?
nyp.33433074808399	I have an idea that when we yield I 55 The Fly Appears “ What is it? ” asked Cape; and he was whisper- ing now.
nyp.33433074808399	I think per- haps you'd be interested in learning who it was that slew old Pheneas Drumm? ” A polite laugh went round the table, led by Campbell.
nyp.33433074808399	If you really harmed him you erred; but under all the circumstances, does it seem impos- sible to you that you should be forgiven?
nyp.33433074808399	If you'll excuse me —? ” And immediately he was gone.
nyp.33433074808399	It was Cape's voice de- manding—“Did he?
nyp.33433074808399	It would be easy to go to- night, be- cause to- night going seems the easiest, simplest way. ” “ Still — won't you sit down?
nyp.33433074808399	Now what's the other side?
nyp.33433074808399	Of course you havel But did you ever stop to think what that meant?
nyp.33433074808399	On the whole I'm glad I went. ” “ But you did n't go to the cemetery? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074808399	Or why should n't they have learned of his death from the police? ” “ Oh — perhaps they did! ” murmured Cape.
nyp.33433074808399	Over the wire Estabrook heard a rasping voice inquire—“Is that you, Whispers? ” He stiffened with indignation; and then he re- laxed.
nyp.33433074808399	Sit down! ” “ What have you been finding wrong with Madam Joan's? ” asked Cape.
nyp.33433074808399	Suppose I tell you your uncle's name? ” His companion's glance was shrinking with fear.
nyp.33433074808399	That others should forgive you? ” The rhythmic beat of Cape's hand on his chair- arm ended.
nyp.33433074808399	That you should forgive yourself?
nyp.33433074808399	The lands, I mean. ” “ Well? ” inquired Campbell.
nyp.33433074808399	The problem is: What shall the old lady do? ” Cape was staring at the newspaper man almost incredulously.
nyp.33433074808399	Then, triumphantly, “ Well, then, how did you know he was the police re- porter? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074808399	There are always a few. ” “ And the man who sat at my table — who has just gone up- stairs — is he a newspaper man also? ” Madam pondered.
nyp.33433074808399	There's one flaw in your plan, and that's a fatal one. ” “ I wonder what? ” asked Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	Was he the actual slayer of the old man?
nyp.33433074808399	Was it Madam Joan, coming to smile upon him precisely as if she had directed that the choicest morsel in her establishment should be reserved for him?
nyp.33433074808399	We've all been wondering if those two coy souls would ever get up nerve enough to call in the preacher. ” “ Two coy souls? ” echoed Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	Well, do you know what will be the result if you go to police headquar- ters to- night, now, and make a statement?
nyp.33433074808399	What I mean is, you have n't got the crowd with you. ” 107 Whispers “ The crowd? ” echoed Campbell with a hint of disdain.
nyp.33433074808399	What am I to do? ” And then, quite unexpectedly, he arose and began to pace the floor almost as if he no longer saw Estabrook or thought of him.
nyp.33433074808399	What do you think of it? ” 82 Cape Comes In Cape only shook his head incredulously.
nyp.33433074808399	What else could it have been?
nyp.33433074808399	What more cer- tain than that he'd have seized upon it in such an extremity? ” “ If I could only be sure about the pistol, ” fal- tered Cape.
nyp.33433074808399	What would prevent your be- 85 Whispers traying them — or at least, why should n't they fear you might?
nyp.33433074808399	What's the matter with you?
nyp.33433074808399	Why? ” 224 A Summons for Estabrook “ Speaking of Beakman made me think of it.
nyp.33433074808399	Will you sit down? ” He glanced anxiously at the bed.
nyp.33433074808399	Would you know how to answer them?
nyp.33433074808399	You do n't suppose they'd place themselves in your hands, do you? ” The reply came briskly, cheerfully: “ Oh – did n't I explain that?
nyp.33433074808399	You do n't suppose they'd place themselves in your hands, do you? ” The reply came briskly, cheerfully: “ Oh – did n't I explain that?
nyp.33433074808399	You do n't work for the Boston Tran- script no more? ” Estabrook took the card from his hand and considered it.
nyp.33433074808399	You know what I mean?
nyp.33433074808399	You may perhaps know of me?
nyp.33433074808399	You see what a mean sort of story it comes down to at last?
nyp.33433074808399	You take the average man or woman — though perhaps you're not interested? ” “ Yes — yes, I am. ” “ Very well.
nyp.33433074808399	You'll not take offense?
nyp.33433074808399	how could you know, if you did n't see it?
nyp.33433074808399	“ And may I ask how you're sure? ” “ Because I know the man rather well.'
nyp.33433074808399	“ And so? ” prompted Cape uneasily.
nyp.33433074808399	“ And suppose it is? ” inquired the officer.
nyp.33433074808399	“ And that he reached for a revolver — how could you know that? ” Estabrook met the question frankly.
nyp.33433074808399	“ And what's the condition? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ And yet it's true? ” remonstrated Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Any progress to report? ” inquired the news- paper man as he took up the bill of fare.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Are you really in earnest? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Are you the man from the newspaper? ” he added.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Are you, indeed? ” inquired the chief in a tone not free from irony.
nyp.33433074808399	“ But does n't that pretty nearly describe life? ” he asked; “ – a ‘ brawling tavern'? ” 257
nyp.33433074808399	“ But does n't that pretty nearly describe life? ” he asked; “ – a ‘ brawling tavern'? ” 257
nyp.33433074808399	“ But how did you know there was a chair near the table? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ But is n't enmity a basis of life still? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Did n't I say he was a funny guy? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Do you think so? ” “ Not comical, y'understand.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Happened? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074808399	“ How did you know it was Cook? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074808399	“ How would people know it would be safe to confide in you?
nyp.33433074808399	“ Is that straight? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ It was overturned 3* “ And it lay here? ” Estabrook pointed.
nyp.33433074808399	“ It's a back number now, no?
nyp.33433074808399	“ It's so difficult to reply to a question sometimes by a plain Yes or No- is nt it? ” he said.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Mon- sieur has been properly served? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433074808399	“ My engagement with you?
nyp.33433074808399	“ Not one of them ‘ Come unto me'sharks? ” Estabrook winced.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Perhaps to keep change in — or it may be rec- ords of some sort. ” “ Or a weapon? ” suggested Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Sit down, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074808399	“ Smoke? ” he asked; and he perceived that the other man's fingers fumbled as they drew a ciga- rette from the pack.
nyp.33433074808399	“ The Chief? ” repeated the secretary, in re- sponse to Estabrook's inquiry.
nyp.33433074808399	“ The city editor? ” he asked, drawing a few steps nearer without removing his eyes from Beak- man's.
nyp.33433074808399	“ There was a chair near the table where the old man was found dead?
nyp.33433074808399	“ What could it have been used for? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ What for? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074808399	“ What was it? ” “ I am Doctor Brinsmade, Mr. Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Where did you get it? ” “ That's a very excellent story you've got in the News this morning.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Who is this? ” demanded Estabrook.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Would you mind telling me what one of them is? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ Yes? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ You do n't mean to say that this young fellow here — Mr. Cape, did you say?—is the man we're after? ” “ Yes, ” said Estabrook shortly.
nyp.33433074808399	“ You know the city, then? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074808399	“ You mean to ask, What does she do?
nyp.33433074808399	“ You mean, have I run across anything?
nyp.33433074808399	“ You're a newspaper man, perhaps? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063915378	A cut and dried case, eh?
mdp.39015063915378	A what, sir?
mdp.39015063915378	About her family?
mdp.39015063915378	Althea Madison, why?
mdp.39015063915378	Althea?
mdp.39015063915378	And had n't he?
mdp.39015063915378	And he theatened you?
mdp.39015063915378	And how did Delia seem when she opened the door to you, Miss Madison?
mdp.39015063915378	And make things look twice as black for us when the murder is discovered? mdp.39015063915378 And now how about a drink?"
mdp.39015063915378	And saw no one?
mdp.39015063915378	And that something is to secure and destroy the diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	And the other man's voice?
mdp.39015063915378	And what about Andrews?
mdp.39015063915378	And what about security?
mdp.39015063915378	And what am I supposed to do?
mdp.39015063915378	And what did you do? mdp.39015063915378 And what did you tell him?"
mdp.39015063915378	And what do you want to do with two hundred thousand?
mdp.39015063915378	And what is the other one?
mdp.39015063915378	And what of your future?
mdp.39015063915378	And what will that give you?
mdp.39015063915378	And why would n't it? mdp.39015063915378 And yet you say Van Wyck was in a good humor this morning?"
mdp.39015063915378	And yet,I said,"realizing that there had been a murder, you did nothing about it?"
mdp.39015063915378	And you know why he's afraid?
mdp.39015063915378	And you threatened Van Wyck?
mdp.39015063915378	Any news?
mdp.39015063915378	Any suggestions?
mdp.39015063915378	Are they that important?
mdp.39015063915378	Are things all right at the office?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you going to take a rattle- brained old woman's theories as gospel truth? mdp.39015063915378 Are you going to tell him about the diaries?"
mdp.39015063915378	Are you going to tell me what you know about this case, or are you going to continue to hide things?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you hurt?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you sure the policeman believed you?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you trying to say that if some one was killed here I'd have a difficult time explaining the evidence without a body?
mdp.39015063915378	Are you willing to marry me?
mdp.39015063915378	Arranged what?
mdp.39015063915378	Assuming for the moment that Miss Thomas is right in her deductions, is there any reason for Kenfield to desire your death?
mdp.39015063915378	At this hour?
mdp.39015063915378	Before you know it, it'll be daylight and then what will we do?
mdp.39015063915378	But does n't he go in for rather arty things?
mdp.39015063915378	But first may I ask a few questions?
mdp.39015063915378	But he was not trying to blackmail you?
mdp.39015063915378	But how can a man who is a man be part of any- thing so filthy?
mdp.39015063915378	But if you take time for preliminary investigation, fingerprints and that sort of thing before you call them? mdp.39015063915378 But suppose the murderer is one of the people men- tioned in the diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	But suppose they should ring the bell?
mdp.39015063915378	But tell me, why one of those letters?
mdp.39015063915378	But what good would that do him?
mdp.39015063915378	But what has that to do with it?
mdp.39015063915378	But where would you go?
mdp.39015063915378	But why did he kill Andrews?
mdp.39015063915378	But why get me out of the way?
mdp.39015063915378	But why should you be murdered?
mdp.39015063915378	But why?
mdp.39015063915378	But will the thief risk exposure now?
mdp.39015063915378	But, Ethel, how would any one know I was coming here at two o'clock in the morning?
mdp.39015063915378	By the way,he looked about the room,"what hap- pened, to my briefcase?"
mdp.39015063915378	By what right do either of you stand in judgment?
mdp.39015063915378	By what right do you tell us that the diaries wo n't be destroyed unless one of us confesses to a murder?
mdp.39015063915378	Ca n't you send him away, Ethel?
mdp.39015063915378	Came back?
mdp.39015063915378	Can any of us who are mentioned in them be safe until they are destroyed?
mdp.39015063915378	Can you keep a secret?
mdp.39015063915378	Can you vouch for that?
mdp.39015063915378	Charming party, was n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	Conspiracy?
mdp.39015063915378	Could n't we leave him at your office, sir?
mdp.39015063915378	Could we give it to the police or take it to the morgue?
mdp.39015063915378	Dead?
mdp.39015063915378	Did I miss one?
mdp.39015063915378	Did Mr. Lassimon offer any explanation?
mdp.39015063915378	Did Mr. Van Wyck hear from him?
mdp.39015063915378	Did Van Wyck seem worried?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he give you any names?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he mention Fergus?
mdp.39015063915378	Did n't I tell you to watch that man, did n't I?
mdp.39015063915378	Did n't some one try to murder you last night in an effort to shield himself? mdp.39015063915378 Did you get an invitation too?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you have any trouble getting the book pub- lished?
mdp.39015063915378	Did you know you left your handkerchief behind in Andrews'room?
mdp.39015063915378	Did you notice anything unusual about Mr. An- drews'actions on his arrival?
mdp.39015063915378	Did you read them?
mdp.39015063915378	Did you see Mr. Lassimon leave?
mdp.39015063915378	Did you see any one in the halls or the elevator as you came up? ” Terry asked. mdp.39015063915378 Did you send a man to the roof of the building next door?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you touch anything?
mdp.39015063915378	Do nice people go to parties uninvited?
mdp.39015063915378	Do what?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you always know what a woman wants?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you believe it? mdp.39015063915378 Do you have the money now?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do you know anything about them?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you know anything, lady?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you know these people?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you know they say this house is haunted?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you know who we've been trundling around the town? mdp.39015063915378 Do you know?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you mean that you admitted having the diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you mean the first or the second time?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you mind?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you mind?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you realize what you are doing?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you remember how abrupdy I left you just after your arrival here tonight?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you think I shot at him?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you want the car?
mdp.39015063915378	Even when you doubted me?
mdp.39015063915378	Find any- thing?
mdp.39015063915378	For what?
mdp.39015063915378	Give me a few minutes to think, Peter?
mdp.39015063915378	Go early, will you, Ethel? mdp.39015063915378 Had you ever seen the man before?"
mdp.39015063915378	Has it anything to do with the mystery?
mdp.39015063915378	Has it been that bad?
mdp.39015063915378	Has she written a book or something?
mdp.39015063915378	Have n't I told you I do n't know?
mdp.39015063915378	Have they been asking you questions?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you called a doctor?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you ever seen a ghost, Miss Thomas?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you heard from Fergus?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you looked through the apartment?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you no pity in your souls, either of you?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you read them at all?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you two had an understand- ing?
mdp.39015063915378	He did?
mdp.39015063915378	He's not in danger, is he?
mdp.39015063915378	His life?
mdp.39015063915378	How about Terry? mdp.39015063915378 How about a drink?"
mdp.39015063915378	How about luncheon?
mdp.39015063915378	How are we going to get the diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	How are you going to get to the bottom of this in any other way?
mdp.39015063915378	How are you? mdp.39015063915378 How can I stop you?"
mdp.39015063915378	How can you be so contrary? mdp.39015063915378 How could I?"
mdp.39015063915378	How could you hope to do that?
mdp.39015063915378	How did you get in?
mdp.39015063915378	How did you know about him?
mdp.39015063915378	How did you know it was a shot?
mdp.39015063915378	How did you know that Terry Lassimon had the diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	How do we get married?
mdp.39015063915378	How do you do it?
mdp.39015063915378	How do you know so much about Van Wyck?
mdp.39015063915378	How do you know so much about the time it takes to kill a man?
mdp.39015063915378	How do you revive a man who has been chloro- formed?
mdp.39015063915378	How do you want it done?
mdp.39015063915378	How long have you been paying him hush money?
mdp.39015063915378	How long were you out of the house?
mdp.39015063915378	How long were you there?
mdp.39015063915378	How many people believed they might be there?
mdp.39015063915378	How much?
mdp.39015063915378	How on earth did you become involved with a per- son like Mortimer?
mdp.39015063915378	How on earth did you get rid of Fergus'body after we left it at Mortimer's basement door?
mdp.39015063915378	How was Fergus yesterday before he went out?
mdp.39015063915378	I do n't know, do you?
mdp.39015063915378	I do n't think so,he answered warily,"but tell me what you want?"
mdp.39015063915378	I do n't, do I?
mdp.39015063915378	I intended taking a cab, did n't Agnes tell you?
mdp.39015063915378	I say,he finally managed to get it out,"do you mind if I run along?
mdp.39015063915378	I suppose you know all about it?
mdp.39015063915378	I think a man has been behind all this, do n't you?
mdp.39015063915378	I thought you liked the Lassimon chap? mdp.39015063915378 I wo n't, ” he assured me, then added, “ If you have the opportunity will you get down to cases with her?
mdp.39015063915378	I'm not so sure her plan miscarried. ” “ What do you mean, Saxon? ” Croft asked. mdp.39015063915378 If he comes at five, what are you going to tell him?"
mdp.39015063915378	If she contemplated murder, she would n't have had the money with her this morning, would she?
mdp.39015063915378	If you only came in for a moment, how on earth did you lose the compact?
mdp.39015063915378	In this heat?
mdp.39015063915378	Is Lassimon another of your pet young men?
mdp.39015063915378	Is it a bargain?
mdp.39015063915378	Is it cool up there?
mdp.39015063915378	Is n't it something you can fight openly?
mdp.39015063915378	Is n't she wonderful the way she's taking it? mdp.39015063915378 Is n't that rather obvious?
mdp.39015063915378	Is that why men take pot- shots at you in the middle of the night?
mdp.39015063915378	Is that why your fingerprints are the last on the inside knob of the door leading to Andrews'room?
mdp.39015063915378	Is there a back way out of here?
mdp.39015063915378	Is there anything at all I can do?
mdp.39015063915378	Is your fortune threatened?
mdp.39015063915378	It beats all, does n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	It could have, but did it?
mdp.39015063915378	It must have been fun, but was n't the adventure it- self rather horrible?
mdp.39015063915378	It's Andrews, is n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	It's all connected with our publishing business, is n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	J what? mdp.39015063915378 Joker?"
mdp.39015063915378	Leaving so soon, Sidney?
mdp.39015063915378	Let me work with you?
mdp.39015063915378	Looking for something?
mdp.39015063915378	Manage to look so charming at this hour of the night or, rather, morning?
mdp.39015063915378	May I speak to your prisoner?
mdp.39015063915378	Me?
mdp.39015063915378	Meaning which man?
mdp.39015063915378	Motive and everything?
mdp.39015063915378	Murder? mdp.39015063915378 My, you do know your alphabet, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063915378	No and just stick to that story, will you? mdp.39015063915378 No, have you?"
mdp.39015063915378	Not so funny now, is it?
mdp.39015063915378	Now tell me who the two people were who were here?
mdp.39015063915378	Now that they are here, what are you going to do with them?
mdp.39015063915378	Now,I suggested,"why do n't you and I go to work since we know who did n't kill Van Wyck?"
mdp.39015063915378	Now,I suggested,"why not get on with the in- vestigation?
mdp.39015063915378	Of what?
mdp.39015063915378	Oh, he was?
mdp.39015063915378	Oh, you do, do you? mdp.39015063915378 Oh, you have, have you?"
mdp.39015063915378	Perhaps it's a family secret that she does n't want THE MOVING FINGER 37 uncovered,he said and then asked,"Why did you stop just now?"
mdp.39015063915378	Police?
mdp.39015063915378	Pretty tough, is n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	Revenge?
mdp.39015063915378	Robbed?
mdp.39015063915378	Say, how did you get in?
mdp.39015063915378	Say, old man,he used his best wheedling tone,"if any one asks you about diaries tell them you know nothing about them, will you?"
mdp.39015063915378	Say, you do n't think she tried to shoot me, do you?
mdp.39015063915378	See where a second letter has been pasted and rubbed loose? mdp.39015063915378 Shall I call the police?"
mdp.39015063915378	Shall I drive on?
mdp.39015063915378	Since you're so sure they did n't kill Van Wyck, who did?
mdp.39015063915378	So you think you're smarter than the police?
mdp.39015063915378	So you were just being a Galahad, is that it?
mdp.39015063915378	Sunk?
mdp.39015063915378	Tell me, is Mortimer in need of money?
mdp.39015063915378	Tell me, why is Kenfield here?
mdp.39015063915378	That gun,I asked,"ever see it before?"
mdp.39015063915378	That's just a flimsy alibi you cooked up to cover yourself, is n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	The voice talking to Van Wyck when you went back the second time,I cut in,"was it a man's or a woman's?"
mdp.39015063915378	Then how did you know he was a blackmailer?
mdp.39015063915378	Then how did you know who we were?
mdp.39015063915378	Then it was Philip?
mdp.39015063915378	Then what do you suggest?
mdp.39015063915378	Then what happened?
mdp.39015063915378	Then where is the body, the rug, the gun, and the hat?
mdp.39015063915378	Then why do n't you?
mdp.39015063915378	Then why does n't he destroy them?
mdp.39015063915378	Then why does n't he turn them over to me?
mdp.39015063915378	Then why in the name of God start now?
mdp.39015063915378	Then why were you here?
mdp.39015063915378	Then would n't that make him a likely suspect?
mdp.39015063915378	Then you think this was Mortimer's work?
mdp.39015063915378	Then you've read them?
mdp.39015063915378	This morning when Mr. Lassimon arrived, did you show him upstairs?
mdp.39015063915378	Using me?
mdp.39015063915378	Very pretty, but why?
mdp.39015063915378	Was hexying to force you to pay him?"

mdp.39015063915378	Would you think I'd gone out of my mind if I told you I'd like to be married?
mdp.39015063915378	Would you?
mdp.39015063915378	You did n't go upstairs at all?
mdp.39015063915378	You did n't lose the suitcase, did you?
mdp.39015063915378	You did?
mdp.39015063915378	You do n't believe me, do you, Miss Thomas?
mdp.39015063915378	You do n't believe that?
mdp.39015063915378	You do n't think Mr. Philip Lassi- mon is nice, do you?
mdp.39015063915378	You do n't want them published, do you?
mdp.39015063915378	You do?
mdp.39015063915378	You have n't called the police?
mdp.39015063915378	You know him very well, do n't you?
mdp.39015063915378	You know they have been stolen?
mdp.39015063915378	You mean Hubert? mdp.39015063915378 You mean that the diaries might still be used for blackmail?"
mdp.39015063915378	You recognized her?
mdp.39015063915378	You thought it was me?
mdp.39015063915378	You wanted a chance to be in on the ground floor of something big, did n't you?
mdp.39015063915378	You wo n't fail me, will you, Hubert?
mdp.39015063915378	You wo n't want us any more, will you, Peter?
mdp.39015063915378	You wo n't what?
mdp.39015063915378	You would n't if you knew the reason... or per- haps you do?
mdp.39015063915378	You would n't mind leaving him on a pier, would you?
mdp.39015063915378	You would n't try to kid me, would you, Miss Thomas?
mdp.39015063915378	You'll really turn the diaries over to the police?
mdp.39015063915378	You're a great kidder, are n't you?
mdp.39015063915378	You're dead right, of course, as usual,he grinned at me,"only""Only what?"
mdp.39015063915378	You're lives have n't been too pure, have they?
mdp.39015063915378	You're not really going to the new bridge, are you?
mdp.39015063915378	You've have n't gone and killed some one, have you? mdp.39015063915378 You've heard of silencers, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063915378	'Then you've an idea where they are?"
mdp.39015063915378	*'You noticed that?"
mdp.39015063915378	.?"
mdp.39015063915378	100 THE MOVING FINGER 137"What did you do in that room after the murder?"
mdp.39015063915378	132 THE MOVING FINGER"Have n't you any idea how long Mr. Lassimon was upstairs?"
mdp.39015063915378	22 THE MOVING FINGER"Are you trying to be funny?"
mdp.39015063915378	252 THE MOVING FINGER"Thirty- four?"
mdp.39015063915378	274 THE MOVING FINGER do it?
mdp.39015063915378	278 THE MOVING FINGER"Who is it?"
mdp.39015063915378	2<5o THE MOVING FINGER"How?"
mdp.39015063915378	44 THE MOVING FINGER"Did you see his ad in the paper?
mdp.39015063915378	52 THE MOVING FINGER"And would you get me a drink?"
mdp.39015063915378	94 THE MOVING FINGER"What's the matter,"Terry chided,"do n't you like my driving?"
mdp.39015063915378	A bad puzzle?"
mdp.39015063915378	After a moment, Peter asked,"How long did Mr. Lassimon stay?"
mdp.39015063915378	After a moment, he said,"How about Battery Park?"
mdp.39015063915378	After he had properly scolded me for my foolhardi- ness he asked eagerly,"Where are they?"
mdp.39015063915378	Also, since it was there and I would be faced with the problem of getting rid of it, or calling the police, why take the bag?
mdp.39015063915378	Althea joined us, asking solicitously,"Is she badly hurt?"
mdp.39015063915378	Althea's answer was a laugh followed by,"Is this invitation instead of the etching one?
mdp.39015063915378	Am I his partner or his office boy?"
mdp.39015063915378	And what of that bag of evidence?
mdp.39015063915378	And why kill Fergus?
mdp.39015063915378	Andrews?"
mdp.39015063915378	Anything else, miss?"
mdp.39015063915378	Are n't we friends?
mdp.39015063915378	Are n't you afraid?
mdp.39015063915378	As Hubert turned toward the door, I asked,"Who's coming?"
mdp.39015063915378	As he snapped the catch shut and pulled the straps through the buckles he said,"Can you keep a secret?
mdp.39015063915378	At least, I thought that was what he was doing, but I was wrong, because he asked,"What did you burn in the fire- place?"
mdp.39015063915378	Behind me a voice asked,"What's happened?"
mdp.39015063915378	But the hat, and that initial J?
mdp.39015063915378	But was it?
mdp.39015063915378	But why Terry?
mdp.39015063915378	But why did n't he want me on the boat between New York and Roslyn?
mdp.39015063915378	But why had he been so persistent about getting Terry out of the way?
mdp.39015063915378	But why had he waited so long?
mdp.39015063915378	Ca n't we do something for him?
mdp.39015063915378	Can you- imagine the thrill of seeing Rome burn or the excitement you would feel if it were possible for you to solve the murder of Elwell?
mdp.39015063915378	Could a man get from the house next door easily?"
mdp.39015063915378	Could it be possible there was some other reason why he wanted her out of the way?
mdp.39015063915378	Did Lassimon ask you to come?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did Mortimer know the truth?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he feel confident that he could out- bluff me?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he intend to run for it?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he know me well enough to feel sure that I could n't make six people suffer because of one man's crime?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he mean a third attempt on his life?
mdp.39015063915378	Did he write it to give me a jolt?
mdp.39015063915378	Did it hurt?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did it mean anything or did n't it?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did n't they take nothin'?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did n't we work well together once before?
mdp.39015063915378	Did n't you know it?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did she mention the diaries?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you ever hear such a blood- curdling scream as that maid gave?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you have any particular suspect in mind?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you see him?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you tell her that?"
mdp.39015063915378	Did you want a book?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do I look like a ghost?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do n't 76 THE MOVING FINGER you see if you were killed, I'd be able to give the police a clue which might eventually lead them to the crim- inal?
mdp.39015063915378	Do n't you realize that the murderer will be watching us every minute?
mdp.39015063915378	Do n't you see how diabolical it is?
mdp.39015063915378	Do n't you think they'll sell?
mdp.39015063915378	Do n't you think you're being a little hard on those of us who may be innocent?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do n't you worry about me, and what do I care about the gossips? ” With a jaunty toss of his hand which blew me a kiss, he started for the door.
mdp.39015063915378	Do you get what I mean?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do you remember the Alderman Case?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you think I want my house to get a bad name?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you think I'm a baby?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do you think Van Wyck would have sat quietly at his desk waiting to be stabbed in the back?
mdp.39015063915378	Do you think this is just a plant to frighten me?"
mdp.39015063915378	Do you want to do me a favor?"
mdp.39015063915378	Does this put him into more of a jam?
mdp.39015063915378	Dollars are sound, are n't they, in spite of all the talk we've heard to the contrary about inflation?
mdp.39015063915378	Finally he looked at me and said,"I do n't know any J anything that will fit the hat, do you?"
mdp.39015063915378	For that matter, why do people insist in telling you all about their operations?
mdp.39015063915378	Had Althea Madison taken the ii2 THE MOVING FINGER diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	Had Althea arrived at the apartment to find Mortimer searching the place for his diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	Had Althea been wounded?
mdp.39015063915378	Had fear and igo THE MOVING FINGER greed been mixed in the motives for turning the books over to me?
mdp.39015063915378	Had he been busy with the body?
mdp.39015063915378	Had he lied to me?
mdp.39015063915378	Had he no conscience?
mdp.39015063915378	Had his body been discovered?
mdp.39015063915378	Had she been listening to us?
mdp.39015063915378	Had she in a moment of rage shot at him feeling that with him out of the way she would have a clear field to get the diaries and destroy them?
mdp.39015063915378	Had she taken the diaries?
mdp.39015063915378	Had that been unearthed to confound us?
mdp.39015063915378	Have n't you any ideas?"
mdp.39015063915378	Have n't you noticed that some people seem to be unhealthy and nasty just beneath the surface of their skins?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you ever been West?"
mdp.39015063915378	Have you ever had an opportunity to watch a Southern girl artfully working on a man?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you ever tried to do anything with a man who is unconscious, slumped under the steering- wheel of a car?
mdp.39015063915378	Have you had a drink?"
mdp.39015063915378	He broke the silence by asking without looking at me,"Have you thought of a good answer?"
mdp.39015063915378	He came toward me asking,"Did anything happen?"
mdp.39015063915378	He did n't sit down but facing me demanded,"Did you kill Andrews?"
mdp.39015063915378	He moved toward the door, turned and asked,"What's the name of your book?"
mdp.39015063915378	He thinks she did it. ” “ Did n't you check on Andrews'story?"
mdp.39015063915378	He took a generous draught and said,"It's been rather warm today, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063915378	He's determined to get me one way or another, is n't he? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063915378	He's really very versatile, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063915378	How about dinner?"
mdp.39015063915378	How could I explain the contents of the note when I had no idea, myself, what it meant?
mdp.39015063915378	How could I give him the means of exit?
mdp.39015063915378	How could I solve the murder there?
mdp.39015063915378	How could I?
mdp.39015063915378	How could any woman be happy with a man like Bainbridge?
mdp.39015063915378	How could he forget the procession of wretched humans his greed had sent to a living death?
mdp.39015063915378	How did he know what was in that bag?
mdp.39015063915378	How did the murderer know that he would need the bag?
mdp.39015063915378	How did you know?"
mdp.39015063915378	How do you suppose stolen jewels are recovered?
mdp.39015063915378	How else can we explain some of the odd experiences that come to us?
mdp.39015063915378	How else could so many of them go on living, year after year, with the same man?
mdp.39015063915378	How had the police missed it thus far?
mdp.39015063915378	How long had I been there?
mdp.39015063915378	How on earth had I missed seeing it before?
mdp.39015063915378	How to get it out of the house?
mdp.39015063915378	How was her fortune threatened?
mdp.39015063915378	How would an interest in the publishing business suit you?
mdp.39015063915378	I countered with a question,"Are you quite sure that you did n't come back here for your compact?"
mdp.39015063915378	I did n't believe it was at all serious and yet how else explain the shot of the night before?
mdp.39015063915378	I had to get into that house, but how to do it?
mdp.39015063915378	I ignored both of them and looking at Peter said,"Who killed Mortimer Van Wyck?"
mdp.39015063915378	I know the police and government men have captured most of the guilty parties, but what of the children?
mdp.39015063915378	I left Sidney and spoke to the two officers,"Would n't you two boys like a drink?"
mdp.39015063915378	I nodded and asked,"Are n't you going to investigate it?"
mdp.39015063915378	I nodded in reply before I asked,"Is it a good murder, Peter?"
mdp.39015063915378	I smiled at him reassuringly as I asked,"What was the matter with him?"
mdp.39015063915378	I thought it rather curious, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063915378	I was on the verge of pounding on the door, the bell seeming to have been without effect, when I heard Terry's hushed voice asking,"Who's there?"
mdp.39015063915378	I was sure it would be clever and unexpected, but what?
mdp.39015063915378	I was wondering if she had been in the apartment and asked,"Has any one been here?"
mdp.39015063915378	I went on,"What have you been doing?
mdp.39015063915378	I'd have to have some story for Peter, but what?
mdp.39015063915378	I'll make her understand. ” “ Are n't you afraid of being misunderstood? ” I asked casually.
mdp.39015063915378	I'm seventy- five, proud of my age and why should n't I be?
mdp.39015063915378	If he had lived, could he have proved his statements?
mdp.39015063915378	If she had n't made the search, was she the person who had shot the searcher?
mdp.39015063915378	If the things I had learned by accident had re- mained undiscovered up to now, why should I want to expose them?
mdp.39015063915378	If we make a fuss about them, there's no telling what will happen, do n't you see that?
mdp.39015063915378	Is anything wrong, Miss Thomas?"
mdp.39015063915378	Is finding the solution of a crime like happiness?
mdp.39015063915378	Is it a first name or a last name?"
mdp.39015063915378	Is it on our doorstep all the time?
mdp.39015063915378	Is n't it odd that a thing as important as marriage can be accomplished so easily?
mdp.39015063915378	Is n't that what you wanted?"
mdp.39015063915378	Is that true?"
mdp.39015063915378	Is that what you mean?"
mdp.39015063915378	Is there some perverse spirit lurking just beyond our consciousness who likes to make fools of us?
mdp.39015063915378	It seems a ridiculous thing for a murderer to do but it would put you in a most embarrassing position, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063915378	It was Terry's note, but how under the sun had it come into Saxon's possession?
mdp.39015063915378	Just why did you write me this ridiculous note?
mdp.39015063915378	Just why had she come so early and what did she want to know?
mdp.39015063915378	Kenfield?"
mdp.39015063915378	Lassimon?"
mdp.39015063915378	Lassimon?"
mdp.39015063915378	Men are gullible crea- tures, are n't they?
mdp.39015063915378	Not that I care how many men drive up to my door at any hour of the night or day h*it it was nice of him to think of that — or did he?
mdp.39015063915378	Now, do n't say,"Why did n't the old fool call an officer?"
mdp.39015063915378	Or was she the person who had fired the shot?
mdp.39015063915378	Philip Lassimon in his gloomy way demanded,"What are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063915378	Philip Lassimon, his face gaunt and haggard, de- manded,"Are you going to go through with this plan of yours?"
mdp.39015063915378	Poor Malcolm, would I find him as still and dead as that thing on the back seat?
mdp.39015063915378	Remember about a month ago I told you that the publishing business was n't making money?"
mdp.39015063915378	Saxon's voice surprised me as he asked,"Then as far as we know, Mrs. Lassimon, you were the last person to see Andrews alive?"
mdp.39015063915378	Say, do you know anything about the ad Terry ran in this evening's paper?
mdp.39015063915378	She paused before me and asked,"How do you like playing God?"
mdp.39015063915378	She's as innocent as you are. ” “ Did she say anything about me? ” he asked hope- fully.
mdp.39015063915378	Sounds melodramatic, does n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	Surely you're convinced now that neither of these people had anything to do with the murder?"
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 131"Do you know where Fergus went yesterday after- noon?"
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 151"Then may we go?"
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 215"There was no harm in my asking you, was there?
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 237 “ Who pushed Andrews overboard? ” I demanded.
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 249"Have you told him anything at all?"
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 261 Daisy sidled up to me to say beseechingly,"You do n't believe it, Ethel?
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 265"Are you the girl who found the body?"
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER 79"Have you lost something?"
mdp.39015063915378	THE MOVING FINGER"That's your motive there, all right,"Saxon said,"but why kill those other men?"
mdp.39015063915378	Take this, will you, and hide it?
mdp.39015063915378	That was a close shave, was n't it?
mdp.39015063915378	That will do no harm, will it?"
mdp.39015063915378	That would be a good trick, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063915378	The whole thing was fan- tastic and why in heaven's name pick on me?
mdp.39015063915378	Then you could publish your own books no matter how bad they were?"
mdp.39015063915378	Then, “ You have the money?"
mdp.39015063915378	There's seven of us^ Where's Andrews?"
mdp.39015063915378	They quieted down long enough for Bolertho to ask,"Have you any suggestions to make, Miss Thomas?"
mdp.39015063915378	Unfortu- nately for him it was not until after he had killed himself that I suddenly realized the truth. ” “ What do you mean? ” Terry asked.
mdp.39015063915378	VII"Are your etchings at home? ” she asked facetiously in greeting.
mdp.39015063915378	Was Daisy Williams really a murderess?
mdp.39015063915378	Was I too late?
mdp.39015063915378	Was he dead?
mdp.39015063915378	Was it a habit he had acquired because of his shady expe- riences?
mdp.39015063915378	Was it some one's husband?"
mdp.39015063915378	Was she the person who had made such a thorough search?
mdp.39015063915378	Was the man going to make off with me?
mdp.39015063915378	We certainly ca n't ever admit knowing anything about Fergus, can we?"
mdp.39015063915378	We do rather live on the surface, according to people's opinions of us, do n't we?
mdp.39015063915378	We know you had nothing to do with it, do n't we, Ethel?"
mdp.39015063915378	Were they stolen?"
mdp.39015063915378	What THE MOVING FINGER 115 was in it?"
mdp.39015063915378	What THE MOVING FINGER 183 had he to gain by such a move?
mdp.39015063915378	What are we going to do about his nibs, solemn face?"
mdp.39015063915378	What are we going to do with it?"
mdp.39015063915378	What are we going to do?"
mdp.39015063915378	What are you doing in a man's apartment at this hour of the night?"
mdp.39015063915378	What are you driving at, anyhow?"
mdp.39015063915378	What are your plans now?"
mdp.39015063915378	What could I tell him, anyhow?
mdp.39015063915378	What could I tell the police?"
mdp.39015063915378	What did happen?"
mdp.39015063915378	What do you suppose she wanted?"
mdp.39015063915378	What do you think she is, a snail?"
mdp.39015063915378	What had happened to him?
mdp.39015063915378	What had happened?
mdp.39015063915378	What has Lassimon to do with it?
mdp.39015063915378	What have you been doing?"
mdp.39015063915378	What have you done with Lassimon and that girl?"
mdp.39015063915378	What is it?"
mdp.39015063915378	What man would n't?
mdp.39015063915378	What manner of man is Lassimon?"
mdp.39015063915378	What murder?"
mdp.39015063915378	What of Fergus'body?
mdp.39015063915378	What on earth did he have to tell me at this hour of the night that could n't wait until morning?
mdp.39015063915378	What on earth did he mean?
mdp.39015063915378	What on earth do you mean?"
mdp.39015063915378	What on earth had happened at Terry's apartment?
mdp.39015063915378	What on earth was he doing?
mdp.39015063915378	What to do with it?
mdp.39015063915378	What were they doing to Terry?
mdp.39015063915378	What would happen?
mdp.39015063915378	What would his next step be now that Terry had defied him?
mdp.39015063915378	What's the trouble, Peter?
mdp.39015063915378	What?"
mdp.39015063915378	When I assured that unknown voice that the diaries would be destroyed, did he really believe me?
mdp.39015063915378	When and how would it come?
mdp.39015063915378	When may I come?"
mdp.39015063915378	Where are they? ” He was surprised when I told him of my hiding.
mdp.39015063915378	Where do you get your pep?"
mdp.39015063915378	Where do you think you're going?"
mdp.39015063915378	Where had he been?
mdp.39015063915378	Where had he gone?
mdp.39015063915378	Where had the murderer been with the body from the time he left the apart- ment until my car arrived?
mdp.39015063915378	Where have you been — on a bender?
mdp.39015063915378	Where on earth had he gone and what was he doing?
mdp.39015063915378	Where would the pioneers have been if it had not been for the women who fought with them shoulder to shoulder?
mdp.39015063915378	Where's the safe?"
mdp.39015063915378	Who am I to stand in judgment on others, even Philip?
mdp.39015063915378	Who but a fiend would have, could have, thought of leaving that bag in Mortimer's room?
mdp.39015063915378	Who fired that shot?"
mdp.39015063915378	Who knows when you might be tempted just as Daisy was tempted?
mdp.39015063915378	Who was killed this time?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why Roslyn of all places?
mdp.39015063915378	Why could n't I have met her under decent circumstances?
mdp.39015063915378	Why did he rent that apart- ment next door?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why did n't he let me hear from him?
mdp.39015063915378	Why did n't he want me on the yacht?
mdp.39015063915378	Why did n't the murderer confess?
mdp.39015063915378	Why did n't they tell you?
mdp.39015063915378	Why did you bend down? ”.
mdp.39015063915378	Why do n't they make women like you any more?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why do n't you make them tell you what they know?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why do n't you search his things here?
mdp.39015063915378	Why do we get annoyed at others for faults so common to ourselves?
mdp.39015063915378	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why do young mothers 196 THE MOVING FINGER think other people are interested in the diseases of then- children?
mdp.39015063915378	Why else give them to me?
mdp.39015063915378	Why else should both Mortimer and Fergus have been killed?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why had I touched the knob of that door and in so doing spoiled what might have been a good clue?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had Mortimer been killed after the diaries had been stolen?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had it suddenly become necessary for the mur- derer to kill both Fergus and Mortimer?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had n't he killed me as I entered Terry's room?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had n't he told me about the yacht, since it was going in for guests?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had the diaries been sold to me?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had the murderer risked possible exposure by taking the second shot at Terry while we were at Mortimer's?
mdp.39015063915378	Why had there been no notice of his death in the morning papers?
mdp.39015063915378	Why is it that some unknown force so often makes us do the things we say we never do or never will do?
mdp.39015063915378	Why is it that when you are close to a situation you sometimes fail to think clearly or logically?
mdp.39015063915378	Why must man in his greed destroy the few lovely things that nature has given us?
mdp.39015063915378	Why not try to square yourself with her,"I suggested,"at the party this afternoon?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why on earth had he written it?
mdp.39015063915378	Why put the body in my car?
mdp.39015063915378	Why say such things?
mdp.39015063915378	Why should Althea Madison be interested in those diaries unless her inheritance was involved?
mdp.39015063915378	Why should I die for the same sort of crimes they have committed?
mdp.39015063915378	Why should I torture myself about the ethics of this particular prob- lem?
mdp.39015063915378	Why should I?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why should Mortimer be safe when for years he had had the infor- mation which had just come into Terry's l^ands?
mdp.39015063915378	Why should they go free?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why the shot?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why under the sun had Terry allowed himself to be- come involved with a person like Mortimer?
mdp.39015063915378	Why was Miss Madison being blackmailed?
mdp.39015063915378	Why was Terry in danger and why was Mortimer apparently safe?
mdp.39015063915378	Why was he being held by the police?
mdp.39015063915378	Why was he so sure that I was working alone?
mdp.39015063915378	Why was he so worried and upset?
mdp.39015063915378	Why write me a note like that?
mdp.39015063915378	Why?
mdp.39015063915378	Why?
mdp.39015063915378	Why?
mdp.39015063915378	Why?"
mdp.39015063915378	Why?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will it?
mdp.39015063915378	Will that be all right?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you do it?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you do it?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you do it?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you help me?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you help me?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you hurry?
mdp.39015063915378	Will you pay it?"
mdp.39015063915378	Will you?"
mdp.39015063915378	With the boy out of the way, he asked,"Is it serious trouble?"
mdp.39015063915378	Without looking at Althea, he asked,"You have those papers I gave you?"
mdp.39015063915378	Working on another case?
mdp.39015063915378	Would I, if I were Philip, Andrews, Van Nuys or Daisy, release the diaries once I had them in my possession?
mdp.39015063915378	Would a man like Philip risk his secret once he had the diaries in his hands?
mdp.39015063915378	Would a man walk in and speak to me?
mdp.39015063915378	Would a messenger boy come with a note?
mdp.39015063915378	Would he escape the third time?
mdp.39015063915378	Would it show in the photographs that had been taken?
mdp.39015063915378	Would she, could she escape?
mdp.39015063915378	Would you have believed a note which read?
mdp.39015063915378	Would you mind getting them and depositing them in your own safe- deposit box until further notice from me?"
mdp.39015063915378	You did n't believe them, did you?"
mdp.39015063915378	You do n't suppose I'd bring this ill- assorted group of people to my house for any other reason, do you?"
mdp.39015063915378	You do n't suppose a woman of my experience would lose a note like that if it meant anything, do you?"

njp.32101066122720	“ Certainly, miss, why not?
njp.32101066122720	“ Could you give me any information about what he intended doing with himself the next day?"

njp.32101066122720	“ Do you mean to suggest, ” he said at last, “ that he's run away from her?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Do you mean to threaten us with violence? ” said Mr. Dick.
njp.32101066122720	“ Do you think that fellow down at Rosivera, the same that brought the pianos along with him, would give a subscription to the sports?"

njp.32101066122720	“ He's left the town, and deserted his wife and family. ” “ Do you say that now?"

njp.32101066122720	“ How can they be lost?
njp.32101066122720	“ How dare you? ” For a moment Lord Manton thought that she was going to box his ears.
njp.32101066122720	“ How do you know that? ” said Mr. God- dard.
njp.32101066122720	“ How would I do it, when he ca n't know a word I say to him, nor him to me?
njp.32101066122720	“ How would I know?

njp.32101066122720	“ I do n't think it would do, ” he said, “ for you to meet them at the railway station. ” “ Why not?"
njp.32101066122720	“ If she's mad,"said the R. M., “ why do n't you have her locked up?
njp.32101066122720	“ If who was to say?"

njp.32101066122720	“ If you loved him, ” said Miss Blow, “ show it now. ” “ I will, with pleasure; but how?"
njp.32101066122720	“ In the meanwhile will you be so good as to tell me where Dr. O'Grady lives?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Is Constable Moriarty's bicycle ready?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Is Mr. Goddard in the hotel?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Is it Dr. O'Grady?
njp.32101066122720	“ Is it likely now that I'd want to stand between you and a lump of money like that?
njp.32101066122720	“ Is it where has he gone 2 If I knew that, would I come to you to find him for me?
njp.32101066122720	“ Is it, be damn?
njp.32101066122720	“ Is n't there some way of getting from the hotel to the shop, ” said Mr. Goddard, “ without going out into the street?
njp.32101066122720	“ It'll be best, ” said Jimmy, “ if we keep it from her. ” “ How can you keep it from her when the man's gone?
njp.32101066122720	“ It'll be well, ” said the sergeant, “ if you're not told that his lordship's away from home. ” “ What do you mean by that?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Look here,"he said, “ where's Sanders?
njp.32101066122720	“ Lord Manton, ” said Mr. Goddard, “ what do you know about that tenant of yours at Rosivera?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Might I be so bold as to put a question to your lordship?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Might I be speaking a word to your lordship about the doctor?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Miss Blow,"said Lord Manton, “ wo n't you come into the library and sit down?
njp.32101066122720	“ Now what, ” said Dr. O'Grady, “ can the Emperor possibly want with us at this hour of the day?
njp.32101066122720	“ Parole?
njp.32101066122720	“ Remember. ” “ Remember what?
njp.32101066122720	“ Surely you're not coming round to Miss Blow's murder theory, are you? ” “ I do n't know.
njp.32101066122720	“ Take care, ” said Jimmy again, “ but he might n't have wanted to see you. ” “ And why would n't he?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Talk sense, ca n't you?"
njp.32101066122720	“ That is the latest theory, is it?
njp.32101066122720	“ The lady who was bathing? ” “ She was n't bathing,"said Mr. Dick.
njp.32101066122720	“ Then why on earth did you not investigate the matter?"
njp.32101066122720	“ There is not, your lordship, devil the word; and why would there?
njp.32101066122720	“ There, ” said Mr. Goddard to Captain Fielding, “ what did I tell you?
njp.32101066122720	“ Was he mixed up with the League? ” “ He was one time, but there was a falling out between him and them over the sheep dipping.

njp.32101066122720	“ What is it?"
njp.32101066122720	“ What on earth do you want at this hour? ” said Mr. Goddard.
njp.32101066122720	“ What sort of a man is he?"
njp.32101066122720	“ What will you do? ” “ I shall get out a horse and trap if I can without being noticed.
njp.32101066122720	“ What young lady?"
njp.32101066122720	“ What's that you say?"
njp.32101066122720	“ When did he ask for a holiday?"
njp.32101066122720	“ Where are the other gentlemen? ” said Miss Blow.

njp.32101066122720	“ Where? ” “ I do n't know.
njp.32101066122720	“ Why did n't you tell me that before? ” said Patsy.

nyp.33433074861562	And why?
nyp.33433074861562	Anyhow, he deserved to be killed. ” “ Who are you screening? ” asked Hagar, changing her tactics.
nyp.33433074861562	But I fear — I fear — ” “ You fear what? ” “ That you have been deceived.
nyp.33433074861562	But he's hoff; gitting a wage in West- end, as I do ’ ear. ” “ Wes’-end? ” said Bill, reflectively.
nyp.33433074861562	But how did he get rid of his prison clothes? ” “ The police told me, ” grinned Vark.
nyp.33433074861562	But why explain further? ” cried Hagar, with a burst of deep anger.
nyp.33433074861562	But — as she wondered — how had he become cognizant that twenty thousands pounds'worth of diamonds was hidden in the hollow body of the doll?
nyp.33433074861562	But — the silver teapot? ” “ My gift.
nyp.33433074861562	Can your sorrow give me back thirty years of wasted life — of long- enduring agony?

nyp.33433074861562	He was always poring over it, so I thought he might guess the meaning and find the picture. ” “ And why not?
nyp.33433074861562	How — how did you get my — my letters? ” “ The valet of Lord Averley pawned a silver box in which they were concealed, ” explained Hagar.
nyp.33433074861562	I did so for more than a year, and he answered faithfully. ” “ Who read his letters to you? ” “ Sometimes Jane, sometimes Lucy Dyke.
nyp.33433074861562	I know who killed Sir Leslie. ” “ You do? ” asked the man, looking up anx- iously.
nyp.33433074861562	I shall learn the truth, and right you in the eyes of John. ” “ What use?"
nyp.33433074861562	If that picture were found she would be rich, and de- spise my poor Frank the more. ” “ The picture?
nyp.33433074861562	Io?
nyp.33433074861562	It is here, you say? ” Hagar took the silver box off a near shelf, and placed it on the table before him.
nyp.33433074861562	Or, ” added the lawyer, taking another document from his pocket, “ if you chose to make me your heir — ” “ You?
nyp.33433074861562	Say, have I done well? ” And all the sleek priests answered with one voice: “ Yu- ying, you have done well.
nyp.33433074861562	She brought those amber beads from Jamaica, and Rosa was always want- ing them. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074861562	She loves me also. ” “ Then why will she not marry you? ” “ Because she is poor and I am poor.
nyp.33433074861562	Should she tell Miss Danetree herself, or Frank Parsons, the despised lover?
nyp.33433074861562	There is a reward offered for your apprehension. ”- “ What d'I care 7"Who'll git it? ” “ I will! ” replied Vark, coolly, rising.
nyp.33433074861562	What do you think of that? ” “ The pistol of Kerris 1 ” said Julf, quite amazed.
nyp.33433074861562	What picture? ” “ Why, the one that is hidden, ” said Parsons in surprise.
nyp.33433074861562	Whose letters? ” “ Mine and — a person's with whom you have no concern.
nyp.33433074861562	Why not?

nyp.33433074861562	Why should I?
nyp.33433074861562	Yah you an’yer preachin'. ” “ In whose name am I to make out the ticket? ” asked Hagar, coldly.
nyp.33433074861562	You have found the letters? ” 238 Hagar of the Pawn- Shop.

nyp.33433074861562	You?
nyp.33433074861562	“ Are you of our people? ” she asked, abruptly, after looking at him for a moment or so.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Bill, ” he growled, edging against the police- man, “ where's that doll? ” The Seventh Customer.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Bolker? ” echoed Larky Bill, wrathfully.
nyp.33433074861562	“ But do n't look inside, Hagar. ” “ Why not? ” said she, with a wondering look.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Did you say that?"
nyp.33433074861562	“ Has he left you? ” “ No, ” she replied, hoarsely, finding her voice at last.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Have you a knife on you? ” demanded Gemma, still doubtful.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Have you solved it? ” “ I do n't know; I am not sure, ” she said, med- itatively.
nyp.33433074861562	“ I?
nyp.33433074861562	“ In that case, why not sell? ” “ Because I do n't want to.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Is this young person necessary to your con- duct of the case? ” said Miss Lyle, addressing herself to Horval, and ignoring Hagar altogether.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Miss Lyle — did you see her? ”.
nyp.33433074861562	“ No doubt; but you see, Mr. Peters — if that is your name — I happen to have anticipated you. ” “ What?
nyp.33433074861562	“ Now, look'ee'ere, Monkey, ” said Bill, with grim deliberation, “ I do n't want none of yer bloomin'lip, ner his eiather D'y'see?
nyp.33433074861562	“ The negress did it. ” “ Did what? ” asked the girl, curiously.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Then how comes the key into your possession? ” “ I do n't recognize your right to ask such questions, ” said Parsons, in an angry tone.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Well, what can I do for you? ” she asked, sharply.
nyp.33433074861562	“ What I will not Mr. Dix spare one tiny pipe of tobacco for his old friend? ” whined Vark, going towards the shelf.
nyp.33433074861562	“ What do you know about Miss Danetree? ” he asked, sharply.
nyp.33433074861562	“ What do you say? ” asked John, looking back.
nyp.33433074861562	“ What is the matter?
nyp.33433074861562	“ Where is your lover? ” demanded Bardi, in silky tones.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Who are you? ” she gasped, her blue eyes dilating with terror.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Who can tell? ” said Margaret, sadly.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Who wrote that, ” she said in a low voice — “ the old man's son or — you? ” The Coming of Hagar.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Why is this teapot closed? ” asked Hagar in surprise.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Why not — why not? ” Hagar looked back with a glance of immeasur- able contempt.
nyp.33433074861562	“ Why should I?
nyp.33433074861562	“ Wot d'y'mean tryin'to coller my swag? ”- “ Why, fur yer own sake, Bill, s'elp me.

nyp.33433074861562	“ You have got that dagger? ” “ Dagger|"said Bardi, with a start.
nyp.33433074861562	“ You will kill him 1"“ Why?
nyp.33433074861562	“ You? ” Bill recoiled for a moment, and 2O4 Hagar of the Pawn- Shop.

njp.32101068582970	And how are you going to get rid of your gold? ” said I, pertinently. njp.32101068582970 Are you Mr. Maturin's son? ” “ No, my name's Theobald.
njp.32101068582970	Are you sure he is? ” I questioned, as I found a rather shaky pair of legs. njp.32101068582970 As much, my dear Bunny?
njp.32101068582970	I have found the spot, Bunny,he whispered; “ we ought to out him before the night is over. ” “ Connal? ” Raffles nodded.
njp.32101068582970	I was n't thinking of it. ” “ Turning your torch into a truncheon?
njp.32101068582970	Is he gone? ” was my first faint ques- tion. njp.32101068582970 Only ten days?
njp.32101068582970	Where are you, old chap? ” he cried softly, himself blinded by the light he car- ried; and he advanced a couple of steps towards Belville. njp.32101068582970 'Stefano?' njp.32101068582970 - “ But what about my friend? njp.32101068582970 103 Raffles “ Then whom do you mean? ” “ The Camorra! ” I repeated the word with a different in- tonation. njp.32101068582970 109'Raffles “ What's the trouble? ” “ We were followed. ” “ Never! ” “ You never saw it.

njp.32101068582970	65 Raffles “ And what have you done with the cup?"
njp.32101068582970	85 Raffles “ To you, is he?'
njp.32101068582970	A hundred and thirty- nine yards, was n't it?
njp.32101068582970	And I hope you wo n't expel me if I ask a question in my turn? ” “ Certainly not."

njp.32101068582970	And what do you suppose was happening at the same moment?

njp.32101068582970	Bunny, do you know them and me so little that you can look me in the face and ask such a question?
njp.32101068582970	Bunny, you Philistine, why ca n't you, admire the thing for its own sake?
njp.32101068582970	But I locked him up in the dark without a qualm, and I wished and still wish him every torment of the damned. ”"And then?"
njp.32101068582970	But I'll be back in an hour — there! ” “ You swear? ” “ By all my gods. ” I gave in.
njp.32101068582970	But a knock- out shot was the only chance for us then. ” “ Why?

njp.32101068582970	But the next hundred yards took us five minutes by the next clock, and which was one to believe?
njp.32101068582970	But what did you get for it, Raffles?"
njp.32101068582970	But where, but where?
njp.32101068582970	But would you rather elope against your will, or have your continued existence made known to the world in general and the police in par- ticular?

njp.32101068582970	Do you realise that it's five hundred years old and has belonged to Henry the Eighth and to Elizabeth among others?
njp.32101068582970	Do you suppose that I suppose a public- school boy would apply for a berth like this if something or other had n't happened?
njp.32101068582970	Do you think you could do all that? ” “ Yes, sir, I think so. ” “ Why do you?

njp.32101068582970	I thought Stefano had been left behind? ” Raffles was round in a flash, his face white- hot, his eyes dancing death.
njp.32101068582970	I was going to write to- night. ” “ But what are we to do?"
njp.32101068582970	I was improving, as Raffles had said; but what would it profit me if some evil had befallen him?
njp.32101068582970	I wonder if we could'lift it, Bunny, by hook or crook?
njp.32101068582970	Is that cor- rect? ” “ Absolutely."

njp.32101068582970	Of course I wanted to go too — he shook my hand without a word — but how could I?
njp.32101068582970	Of the advertisement itself, what is to be said?

njp.32101068582970	Some of them begged — would I promise 84 The Fate of Faustina never to tell?
njp.32101068582970	Then I changed my tune: how long could I endure it?

njp.32101068582970	Then shall I tell you what I'll do? ” he cried, with a sudden clutch at the whistle- chain on his chest.
njp.32101068582970	Was ever anything so rich and yet so chaste?
njp.32101068582970	Was that burning when you came in? ” Now that I thought of it, yes, it had been.
njp.32101068582970	We've got to celebrate this day this night! ” “ To- night? ” I cried.
njp.32101068582970	What a jest! ” “ Do you mean the police?
njp.32101068582970	What are this chap's motives?
njp.32101068582970	What could be better- for the alternative profession? ” I inquired what the interview had brought forth.
njp.32101068582970	What did we not 33 Raffles choose?
njp.32101068582970	What has he been doing all these years?
njp.32101068582970	What if he keeps his swag at the bank?
njp.32101068582970	What on earth should we have done with him?
njp.32101068582970	What was her engagement beside our love?
njp.32101068582970	What was the use of telling you what I had up my sleeve, Bunny?
njp.32101068582970	When?
njp.32101068582970	When?"
njp.32101068582970	Who could resist that?
njp.32101068582970	With Faustina dead at my feet?
njp.32101068582970	Would he tell her where he lived?
njp.32101068582970	Would she keep his secret?
njp.32101068582970	Would the porter help me in so innocent and meritorious an intrigue?
njp.32101068582970	Yes, it cost me exactly five- and- eight. ”"It cost you?
njp.32101068582970	You may have seen it down below. ” “ The doctor? ” I said.
njp.32101068582970	You see, I was in my bath- room all the time — with the door open. ” “ The bath- room, eh? ” Raffles echoed with professional interest.
njp.32101068582970	“ And did you finish him?"
njp.32101068582970	“ And have you only just found it out, Bunny?
njp.32101068582970	“ And how comes he to be rich?'
njp.32101068582970	“ And how do you propose to get enough away, ” at length I asked, “ to make it worth while?"
njp.32101068582970	“ And since then? ” I stood like a mule.
njp.32101068582970	“ And then? ” “ I spent my money."
njp.32101068582970	“ And why? ” cried Raffles, his eyes danc- ing when I told him.
njp.32101068582970	“ And you fol- lowed us on foot across the park? ” “ Of course."
njp.32101068582970	“ Are you coming straight down to Richmond with me? ”.
njp.32101068582970	“ Are you quite sure that he's cleared out? ”.
njp.32101068582970	“ But are they?
njp.32101068582970	“ But how do you know all that?"
njp.32101068582970	“ But what on earth have you done with the thing? ” “ Sent it to the Queen."
njp.32101068582970	“ But why on earth, ” I groaned, “ do such a thing at all?"
njp.32101068582970	“ But you would have done so, eh?'.
njp.32101068582970	“ Can you turn in your own length?"
njp.32101068582970	“ Chi sta la?'
njp.32101068582970	“ Cognac or Benedictine, Bunny? ” “ Brandy, ” I said coarsely.
njp.32101068582970	“ Dead?"
njp.32101068582970	“ Did he get the instructions, Bunny, or did we?
njp.32101068582970	“ Did n't you hear them go? ” “ I heard nothing but the clock all night.
njp.32101068582970	“ Do you mean when she came in? ” “ No, when I came down. ”"I did n't. ” “ I hope nobody else saw it, ” said Raf- fles devoutly.
njp.32101068582970	“ Do you see anything of him when he comes here?'
njp.32101068582970	“ Does Mr. Maturin live here? ” I in- quired.
njp.32101068582970	“ Feel equal to a cigarette?
njp.32101068582970	“ Frightened of the noise?
njp.32101068582970	“ Going to run me in, officer?
njp.32101068582970	“ Have you ever been there before? ” “ Not since they got the one good, port- able piece which I believe that they exhibit now.
njp.32101068582970	“ Hell- to- leather,"I translated, “ and double fare if you do it by twelve o'clock. ” But in the streets of London how is one to know the time?
njp.32101068582970	“ How could you? ” I asked, without be- lieving for an instant that he had.
njp.32101068582970	“ How did you hear them? ” I inquired, my eye running over him.
njp.32101068582970	“ How many people, should you imagine, toss them five shillings for as many minutes of their infernal row?
njp.32101068582970	“ How on earth can you know? ”.
njp.32101068582970	“ I do n't believe in that rope- ladder, Bunny, except as a blind. ” “ Then what on earth do you believe?"
njp.32101068582970	“ I left him pretty sorry for himself; but what was the good of that?
njp.32101068582970	“ Is this the fellah who was taken when you swam for it? ” he inquired, relapsing into his drawl.
njp.32101068582970	“ May I mix you one? ” said I.
njp.32101068582970	“ Non capite? ” he cried when I had him inside and had withstood the torrent.
njp.32101068582970	“ Nothing easier, my dear rabbit. ” “ Is your Room of Gold a roomful of sovereigns? ” Raffles laughed softly at my scorn.
njp.32101068582970	“ Placed it! ” “ How much for?
njp.32101068582970	“ Scotland Yard? ” said he.
njp.32101068582970	“ See that seat by the door?
njp.32101068582970	“ So you think this chap is as much in society as we were, do you? ” I preferred not to think so myself.
njp.32101068582970	“ So you think you could look after me, do you? ”"I'm certain I could, sir. ” “ Single- handed, mind!
njp.32101068582970	“ Supposing he does come in before? ”.
njp.32101068582970	“ Ten bob if you do it,"I cried through 125 The Last Laugh “ What number? ” cried the good fellow overhead.
njp.32101068582970	“ That's all I want to know. ”"Quite,"said Raffles;"and yet what could be more promising?
njp.32101068582970	“ The doctor? ” I queried, hope fighting with my horror."
njp.32101068582970	“ The last post?
njp.32101068582970	“ Then why do you pretend you have? ”"I only meant that I would do my best."
njp.32101068582970	“ This is n't you, is it? ” And Raffles stopped, his candle held on high, a folding chair under the other arm.
njp.32101068582970	“ Una quistione di vita, di vita! ” “ What's that? ” I snapped, my early training come in again.
njp.32101068582970	“ Una — quistione- di — vita. ” “ Or mors, eh? ” I shouted, and up went the trap- door over our heads.
njp.32101068582970	“ Well done, Bunny; you're coming on,"said he. “ Now I wonder if he's been over here all the time, or if they sent him over expressly?
njp.32101068582970	“ Well? ” said the crammer, relieving me of his eyes at last.
njp.32101068582970	“ What am I to say?".
njp.32101068582970	“ What did you do when you left school? ” “ I came in for money."
njp.32101068582970	“ What! ” cried Raffles, “ simply saying to my friend that I'd like to lift the gold cup?
njp.32101068582970	“ What's it all worth? ” I asked, hoarsely.
njp.32101068582970	“ What's this about a bad night? ” said he.
njp.32101068582970	“ When — and where? ”"Last Thursday night, when, if you re- member, we kept early hours, because I felt done.
njp.32101068582970	“ When?
njp.32101068582970	“ Where on earth are you going? ” I naturally exclaimed.
njp.32101068582970	“ Where the devil are you driving us? ” “ Charing Cross, sir."
njp.32101068582970	“ Where's Beefy? ” he screamed.
njp.32101068582970	“ Which one? ” I told him, and he sighed relief.
njp.32101068582970	“ Who is dead? ” I burst out.
njp.32101068582970	“ Who on earth was the lady? ” I in- quired aghast at the first opportunity.
njp.32101068582970	“ Who said it was the police, Bunny? ” said he.
njp.32101068582970	“ Why all this subtlety? ” I petulantly exclaimed.
njp.32101068582970	“ Why could n't you come straight away to me in a cab? ”.
njp.32101068582970	“ Why could n't you wait till we got home? ”"Why could n't you tell me what you were going to do? ” I retorted as of yore."
njp.32101068582970	“ Why could n't you wait till we got home? ”"Why could n't you tell me what you were going to do? ” I retorted as of yore."
njp.32101068582970	“ Why should they come sneaking back to us?
njp.32101068582970	“ Will he consent to a partnership? ” “ We shall have him at our mercy.
njp.32101068582970	“ Would n't take a share, I suppose? ” Lord Ernest said casually.
njp.32101068582970	“ You did n't see her in the cave?'
njp.32101068582970	“ You did n't see the balcony scene? ” he asked at length; and they were his first words since the woman passed us on his track.
njp.32101068582970	“ You do n't mean anything I did? ” said I, self- consciously, for I began to see that this was what he did mean.
njp.32101068582970	“ You know what happened to some of his horses last night?
njp.32101068582970	“ You mean the fellow with the billiard- cue who was here when we came in? ” pur- sued Raffles.
njp.32101068582970	“ You — interviewed him? ” I echoed.
njp.32101068582970	“ “ Rich?'
njp.32101068582970	“'And you would live in his house after- wards?'
njp.32101068582970	“'Varsity man? ” “ No. ” “ Public school? ” “ Yes."
njp.32101068582970	“'Varsity man? ” “ No. ” “ Public school? ” “ Yes."

mdp.39015063943651	He is under surveillance and will be there, but are n't you getting rather theatrical in your investigation?
mdp.39015063943651	He said'Watash kereo karosu jo I'"Said what?
mdp.39015063943651	He said'body'did he?
mdp.39015063943651	He was pleased with it then?
mdp.39015063943651	Hear that tinkly little thing?
mdp.39015063943651	Her references were satisfactory?
mdp.39015063943651	His charming friends of the gentler sex?
mdp.39015063943651	His valet, this Jap, Kiyoshi — would he be likely to know Morne's plans?
mdp.39015063943651	How did he act? mdp.39015063943651 How did it happen that you were the one who dis- covered Morne's absence from the plane?"
mdp.39015063943651	How did the Italian know that?
mdp.39015063943651	How did you happen to engage her?
mdp.39015063943651	How did you know Carmody was a detective?
mdp.39015063943651	How did you meet him?
mdp.39015063943651	How do you mean?
mdp.39015063943651	How had you got the information that he was trying to locate you?
mdp.39015063943651	How large was it?
mdp.39015063943651	How late can you prove that you were at the theatres?
mdp.39015063943651	How long did he remain with Thurlow?
mdp.39015063943651	How long has Kiyoshi Nimura been employed in your club?
mdp.39015063943651	How long has Miss Vane been your companion?
mdp.39015063943651	How long have you known Miss Vane?
mdp.39015063943651	How long since you have seen him?
mdp.39015063943651	How then did the ring get pulled to open up the parachute? mdp.39015063943651 How was this airplane trip to keep him before the public?"
mdp.39015063943651	How's your alibi?
mdp.39015063943651	I presume you had some reason for wanting Betterling to believe that our suspicions of him were allayed?
mdp.39015063943651	I was shot at tonight in Bayside —"In Bayside?
mdp.39015063943651	I'm glad,said Miss Burton, simply,"but ca n't something be done about these reporters to get them to'lay off'you?
mdp.39015063943651	If I shot Morne then who's trying to murder me?
mdp.39015063943651	If he comes back?
mdp.39015063943651	If he's not Kiyoshi, why is he running away?
mdp.39015063943651	If it had anything to do with his murder, do you think I'd ever be found here?
mdp.39015063943651	If it is so urgent why did n't you save time by tele- phoning?
mdp.39015063943651	If you and Morne were not acquainted, why was the actor afraid of you? mdp.39015063943651 If you are Kentaro why are you in such a hurry?
mdp.39015063943651	Is he Giulio Vanuzzi?
mdp.39015063943651	Is it still on board?
mdp.39015063943651	Is n't that queer in itself? mdp.39015063943651 Is she interested in Mr. Betterling?
mdp.39015063943651	Is there anything else that you can think of that happened on the Silver Lark that might help us in our investigation?
mdp.39015063943651	Is there anything else you wanted to ask?
mdp.39015063943651	Is there anything else, Mr. Kem- erson?
mdp.39015063943651	Is this the lady who called at your apartment this morning with the man you have just identified?
mdp.39015063943651	It is Brewster you suspect then?
mdp.39015063943651	It is Vanuzzi then that you suspect?
mdp.39015063943651	It looks like murder all right,said Blake,"but how could he be murdered when descending from an airplane in a parachute?
mdp.39015063943651	It was Kiyoshi, then, and not Brewster who fired at me?
mdp.39015063943651	It was you that first discovered Mr. Morne's absence, was n't it?
mdp.39015063943651	Keen on seeing his name in the papers, was he?
mdp.39015063943651	Know anything about her personal affairs?
mdp.39015063943651	Know how much it cost?
mdp.39015063943651	Letter? mdp.39015063943651 Lieutenant Brewster?
mdp.39015063943651	Lieutenant Brewster?
mdp.39015063943651	Lieutenant Marshall Brewster, formerly of the United States air service?
mdp.39015063943651	Like the one you tried to tear from my hands?
mdp.39015063943651	May I go now?
mdp.39015063943651	May I read the message?
mdp.39015063943651	May I show it to Mrs. Morne first?
mdp.39015063943651	Mental clues? mdp.39015063943651 Miss Burton, did the man who just left question you before I got back from lunch?"
mdp.39015063943651	Miss Vane says that?
mdp.39015063943651	Money? mdp.39015063943651 More letters bearing a Paris stamp?"
mdp.39015063943651	Morne and Giulio Vanuzzi, you mean?
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Betterling was a frequent caller here, was n't he?
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Betterling, sir?
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Garman, you identified this man as Howard Easter?
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Garman,said the District Attorney,"do you recognize, in this room, the man who called himself Howard Easter?"
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Layman was perfectly frank in his replies?
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Layman? mdp.39015063943651 Mrs. Morne said nothing that would indicate she did not expect to be home that night?"
mdp.39015063943651	Mrs. Morne, do you realize how deeply Blake is becoming involved in the mystery? mdp.39015063943651 Mrs. Morne,"he said,"whose was the child you wished to adopt against your husband's wishes?"
mdp.39015063943651	Must it necessarily be in New York? mdp.39015063943651 No, I've just come here —""Then you've discovered the trail, too, have you?"
mdp.39015063943651	Nor what took you to the Pennsylvania station the night of the murder?
mdp.39015063943651	Nora, did you hear my alarm clock ring yesterday morning?
mdp.39015063943651	Not Chadwick Morne, the actor?
mdp.39015063943651	Not Kirk Kemerson, the actor?
mdp.39015063943651	Now, Miss Sterling,said Kemerson,"who was the man who loved you and objected to your accepting Chadwick Morne's offer of a part in his next play?"
mdp.39015063943651	Oh,said Blake, brightening,"he's an old man then?"
mdp.39015063943651	On what charge?
mdp.39015063943651	Only this: How could the report that you had sometime threatened Morne have got started if there is no foundation for it?
mdp.39015063943651	Please, sir, must I tell that? mdp.39015063943651 See that apartment with the geranium in the win- dow?
mdp.39015063943651	Six or seven hours before Morne stepped into the airplane, was n't it?
mdp.39015063943651	So you do n't think he would act as my dresser, as I am one of those peacocks pretending to be eagles?
mdp.39015063943651	So you've got yourself into a mess through your attempt to keep Morne's name in the press?
mdp.39015063943651	Something that Mr. Brixton said?
mdp.39015063943651	Stephen, why is there a policeman in front of my apartment?
mdp.39015063943651	Still if you did say, as Mrs. Delano maintains,'It will hearten you for your little flight,'what would you have meant by the words?
mdp.39015063943651	String, Mr. Kemerson? mdp.39015063943651 That was all?"
mdp.39015063943651	That was over Vida Latterby, of course?
mdp.39015063943651	The District Attorney, is it? mdp.39015063943651 The death of Chadwick Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	The police?
mdp.39015063943651	The stunt was your suggestion then?
mdp.39015063943651	The vacant one by the door?
mdp.39015063943651	Then I take it you are through with me?
mdp.39015063943651	Then Mr. Morne asked:'How did you know I had engaged passage on the Silver Lark?' mdp.39015063943651 Then between the hours of ten p.m., or thereabouts, last night and ten o'clock this morning you have no wit- nesses as to your presence in the city?"
mdp.39015063943651	Then it is all in? mdp.39015063943651 Then there's no trace of Morne in it?
mdp.39015063943651	Then where was Mrs. Morne last night?
mdp.39015063943651	Then why did you go with her to Kiyoshi and threaten him?
mdp.39015063943651	Then why did you warn her to keep quiet about her experience on the Silver Lark if she valued her safety?
mdp.39015063943651	Then why is he coming? mdp.39015063943651 Then why waste my time by having him here for questioning?"
mdp.39015063943651	There had been other letters like it, you mean, from the same person?
mdp.39015063943651	To kill Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	To make yourself up as Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	Two escapes? mdp.39015063943651 Vanuzzi?"
mdp.39015063943651	Was Morne financially interested in Vanuzzi's night club?
mdp.39015063943651	Was any mention made of your bandaged hand?
mdp.39015063943651	Was he awakened by any unusual sound?
mdp.39015063943651	Was he in the habit of bringing such props home with him?
mdp.39015063943651	Was it an accidental meeting?
mdp.39015063943651	Was it the Happy Hours night club?
mdp.39015063943651	Was much money found on him?
mdp.39015063943651	Was she at home last night?
mdp.39015063943651	Was she the natural daughter of Chadwick Morne? mdp.39015063943651 Was the dissolution of partnership entirely ami- cable?"
mdp.39015063943651	Was the voice that telephoned to her the same that had warned her to keep quiet about the events of the night of Morne's murder?
mdp.39015063943651	Well, Steep,said Kemerson in his own voice,"do you think I am a good actor?"
mdp.39015063943651	Well, that's something to Morne's credit, is n't it? mdp.39015063943651 Well, what do you want me for?"
mdp.39015063943651	Well, what have you learned through your tor- ture of her?
mdp.39015063943651	Well, what?
mdp.39015063943651	Well, what?
mdp.39015063943651	Were any of his regular employees absent?
mdp.39015063943651	Were you friends?
mdp.39015063943651	Were you seen late last night at the Siddarth Theatre?
mdp.39015063943651	Were you surprised when you found Miss Vane and Mr. Layman on the Silver Lark?
mdp.39015063943651	Were you under any special obligation to him?
mdp.39015063943651	Were you waiting to see me?
mdp.39015063943651	What address did he give?
mdp.39015063943651	What airport did I go to, Dugan? mdp.39015063943651 What are their names?"
mdp.39015063943651	What are you doing here at this hour?
mdp.39015063943651	What can I do for you gentlemen?
mdp.39015063943651	What color is your airplane?
mdp.39015063943651	What could have made her do it?
mdp.39015063943651	What did Vanuzzi say? mdp.39015063943651 What did he do there?"
mdp.39015063943651	What did he say?
mdp.39015063943651	What did he want to know about me?
mdp.39015063943651	What did you do with the letter you took from her room?
mdp.39015063943651	What did you reply to that?
mdp.39015063943651	What do I care about privacy? mdp.39015063943651 What do you know about the quarrel between the two men that led to the tragedy?"
mdp.39015063943651	What do you mean by fake?
mdp.39015063943651	What do you mean by that — specifically?
mdp.39015063943651	What do you want of me that you have me brought here by this unmannerly dick like a criminal?
mdp.39015063943651	What does my name matter? mdp.39015063943651 What does that mean in English?"
mdp.39015063943651	What does'Watash kereo karosu jo'mean?
mdp.39015063943651	What good do you think an empty envelope will do you?
mdp.39015063943651	What had you observed that first gave direction to your suspicion?
mdp.39015063943651	What has he got to hide? mdp.39015063943651 What is it, Carmody?"
mdp.39015063943651	What is that suspicion?
mdp.39015063943651	What is the dan- ger?
mdp.39015063943651	What is the town coming to when it's not safe to let pro- spective tenants examine a house? mdp.39015063943651 What is your real name?"
mdp.39015063943651	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063943651	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063943651	What motive could he have had? mdp.39015063943651 What paper did he say he was on?"
mdp.39015063943651	What reason did Vanuzzi give for packing two suitcases?
mdp.39015063943651	What the devil have you done now? mdp.39015063943651 What time was it when he returned the key?"
mdp.39015063943651	What trail?
mdp.39015063943651	What was his name?
mdp.39015063943651	What was in it?
mdp.39015063943651	What was the message?
mdp.39015063943651	What was the purpose of your call on the valet?
mdp.39015063943651	What were you doing in Philadelphia at two o'clock in the morning, and who was the girl with you?
mdp.39015063943651	What will we do if it is?
mdp.39015063943651	What young lady? mdp.39015063943651 When Miss Vane started to say,'The linen in the wash —', did n't you do something to frighten her so that she never finished the sentence?"
mdp.39015063943651	When did Kiyoshi last come here?
mdp.39015063943651	When did you see him last?
mdp.39015063943651	When was that?
mdp.39015063943651	Where did he leave the plane?
mdp.39015063943651	Where did he leave the plane?
mdp.39015063943651	Where did this take place? mdp.39015063943651 Where did you breakfast?"
mdp.39015063943651	Where did you find this?
mdp.39015063943651	Where have you been? mdp.39015063943651 Where were you that same night?"
mdp.39015063943651	Which table?
mdp.39015063943651	Who are Vanuzzi's friends in the building?
mdp.39015063943651	Who are you?
mdp.39015063943651	Who else besides Vanuzzi did you tell?
mdp.39015063943651	Who is her doctor?
mdp.39015063943651	Who is it? mdp.39015063943651 Who says I warned her?
mdp.39015063943651	Who was the actor?
mdp.39015063943651	Who was the child that Mrs. Morne wished to adopt, against Morne's wishes?
mdp.39015063943651	Who was with her? mdp.39015063943651 Who was your last roomer?"
mdp.39015063943651	Who's refusing, buddy? mdp.39015063943651 Who's the jane he's got now?
mdp.39015063943651	Why are n't you at the theatre?
mdp.39015063943651	Why ca n't you investigate the case for me? mdp.39015063943651 Why did Mrs. Morne call on you the day before her husband's death?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why did he want you to change your name?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did n't he take you in the taxicab with him?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you ask Mrs. Handsaker to tell the police you had slept in your own bed when she knew nothing about it?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you call yourself Kiyoshi Nimura?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you conceal your identity from the man?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you go to Morne's apartment to get the handkerchief he used in The Bed of Virtue when all the time you had it with you?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you happen to select the Silver Lark for your trip to Cleveland?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you have Miss Vane kidnapped?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you take Mrs. Morne with you?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you urge him to change his name?
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you want an unlisted number?
mdp.39015063943651	Why do you think that, Steep?
mdp.39015063943651	Why is everybody so quiet? mdp.39015063943651 Why should I know that?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why should Kiyoshi say you did?
mdp.39015063943651	Why should he offer to share in the expense?
mdp.39015063943651	Why should you need to warn her to'play safe'? mdp.39015063943651 Why, yes, but what would he want with a dupli- cate?
mdp.39015063943651	Would the newsdealer remember your buying a complete set of papers?
mdp.39015063943651	You accepted?
mdp.39015063943651	You advised him to desert and aided his flight?
mdp.39015063943651	You are Archibald Horner?
mdp.39015063943651	You are Stephen Blake?
mdp.39015063943651	You are Vida Latterby?
mdp.39015063943651	You are late, are n't you?
mdp.39015063943651	You are positive in your identification?
mdp.39015063943651	You are sure he was dead?
mdp.39015063943651	You believe that Vanuzzi fired the shot?
mdp.39015063943651	You did n't manage to get a good squint at him, did you?
mdp.39015063943651	You did not recognize any of the voices? mdp.39015063943651 You do n't believe that Sidney Stoneman, the one- legged man arrested in Carlstown, had anything to do with Morne's death?"
mdp.39015063943651	You do not suspect the actor's widow then?
mdp.39015063943651	You examined it?
mdp.39015063943651	You had never heard Mr. Layman's voice before you boarded the Silver Lark?
mdp.39015063943651	You have found her entirely satisfactory?
mdp.39015063943651	You have learned something new at the newspaper morgue then?
mdp.39015063943651	You have no idea of their contents?
mdp.39015063943651	You have not nursed your hatred of him through the intervening years?
mdp.39015063943651	You have seen Blake then since the news of your husband's murder?
mdp.39015063943651	You have seen him only once since you left him — when was that?
mdp.39015063943651	You heard him threaten to kill Chadwick Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	You knew Chad wick Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	You knew Morne pretty well, did n't you?
mdp.39015063943651	You knew Mr. Morne before he came to New York?
mdp.39015063943651	You knew her then?
mdp.39015063943651	You knew the present Mrs. Morne at that time?
mdp.39015063943651	You knew then where she was hiding?
mdp.39015063943651	You know Kiyoshi Nimura, his Japanese dresser?
mdp.39015063943651	You know that she was?
mdp.39015063943651	You know this bird, do you?
mdp.39015063943651	You know who I am then? mdp.39015063943651 You made his reservation on the Silver Lark?"
mdp.39015063943651	You mean the Mornes had a child?
mdp.39015063943651	You mean they quarreled?
mdp.39015063943651	You recog- nized his voice?
mdp.39015063943651	You saw him often afterwards?
mdp.39015063943651	You still have faith in his story after that, Kirk?
mdp.39015063943651	You still maintain, Mr. Blake, that you went di- rectly home from the theatre, and slept there?
mdp.39015063943651	You think it was a murder then?
mdp.39015063943651	You were not out of town?
mdp.39015063943651	You wished to see me in regard to the Morne case?
mdp.39015063943651	You would let no personal dislikes interfere with your duty to your employer?
mdp.39015063943651	You've been to the District Attorney then?
mdp.39015063943651	'Just a fellow I knew in France,'he said""In France?"
mdp.39015063943651	'What were you doing in my room?'
mdp.39015063943651	'Widow of murdered actor sends lover to break into apartment she avoids since husband's murder — What evidence did she wish to destroy?'

mdp.39015063943651	284 THE PARACHUTE MURDER"You slept in your room how many hours?
mdp.39015063943651	288 THE PARACHUTE MURDER"What was in the letter you got from Morne's apart- ment the night you locked me in?"
mdp.39015063943651	289"Kirk, what is this experiment at the Atlas Projec- tion room tonight?"
mdp.39015063943651	50 THE PARACHUTE MURDER"Was anything said about her husband's airplane trip?"
mdp.39015063943651	54 THE PARACHUTE MURDER"Are you trying to hide something from me?"
mdp.39015063943651	66 THE PARACHUTE MURDER"Was a ball of twine, or a length of cord, found in the plane?"
mdp.39015063943651	?"

mdp.39015063943651	A strapping big fellow, dark brown hair, kind of brownish- yellow eyes —""Any distinguishing mark on his airplane?"
mdp.39015063943651	Ambitious, but without the abil- ity to succeed, had she sought escape from failure, or was it from Morne's increasing coldness?
mdp.39015063943651	And at night, too?"
mdp.39015063943651	And for what reason would I try to frighten anyone?
mdp.39015063943651	And how had the District Attorney's office learned that he had known the actor's widow while she was Doris Davis?
mdp.39015063943651	And what did he himself know of her activities or whereabouts on the night of the murder?
mdp.39015063943651	And what do you want?"
mdp.39015063943651	And what plane did I charter?
mdp.39015063943651	And who piloted the plane for me?
mdp.39015063943651	And why could not Brewster have been that other?
mdp.39015063943651	Any enemies with a more unforgiving nature than yours?"
mdp.39015063943651	Any secret, understanding glances between them?

mdp.39015063943651	BREWSTER'S ORDERLY TOLD 159"Never heard the name before?"
mdp.39015063943651	Besides, how do we know that the body was really that of Mr. Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	Brewster seemed non- plussed for a moment, and Brixton spoke up sharply:"What is her name?
mdp.39015063943651	But first, Mrs. Morne, what explanation have you for your talk with him?"
mdp.39015063943651	Can you prove you were in your rooms at that hour?"
mdp.39015063943651	Chapler VII FEAR OVER THE TELEPHONE"Would the air resistance make it difficult to open the door while in flight?"

mdp.39015063943651	De- lano?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did Doris Morne suspect him of her husband's murder because he had asked his landlady to say that he had slept in his own bed?
mdp.39015063943651	Did Vanuzzi say any- thing last night, to you or in your hearing, that would indicate he knew anything about her?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did either of you mention the fact that Morne was leaving New York?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did he die?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did he fall in love with you at sight, as I did?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did he make a favorable impression on you?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did he say what he wanted?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did he steal your girl?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did you ever see him kiss her or attempt to kiss her?"
mdp.39015063943651	Did you know that Morne was leaving New York?"
mdp.39015063943651	Dineen?
mdp.39015063943651	Do any of the reports mention a bit of string being fastened to the ring of the parachute?"
mdp.39015063943651	Do the Carlstown authorities advance any theories as to how the crime was com- mitted?"
mdp.39015063943651	Do you dare call up your apartment and ask Steep about it?
mdp.39015063943651	Do you happen to know where she is?"

mdp.39015063943651	Do you sing in your bath?
mdp.39015063943651	Do you think for a moment I came to you in this disguise for a lark?"
mdp.39015063943651	Do you want to slip out the back way?"
mdp.39015063943651	Do you wish to tell me where you were?"
mdp.39015063943651	Does n't he know where you are?"
mdp.39015063943651	Does the District Attorney wish to entertain all the witnesses and suspects in the parachute murder case?"
mdp.39015063943651	Done any damage?"
mdp.39015063943651	Easily frightened?"
mdp.39015063943651	Else why should he have kidnapped Miss Vane?"
mdp.39015063943651	Excitable?
mdp.39015063943651	Faithfully, Walton Brixton"You have already seen the District Attorney then?"
mdp.39015063943651	Feeling more yourself now?"
mdp.39015063943651	From France to San Francisco""France?
mdp.39015063943651	Girl, huh?
mdp.39015063943651	Had they opened and read it?
mdp.39015063943651	Have you a room where we can wait unseen until he comes?
mdp.39015063943651	Have you checked up on his alibi, removing him from the sus- pects?"
mdp.39015063943651	Have you ever seen a young boy, about eight to ten years old, standing in front of it?"
mdp.39015063943651	Have you ever seen me before?"
mdp.39015063943651	Have you ever seen — I mean, heard — him?"
mdp.39015063943651	He has n't forgotten, nor quite forgiven, the WHOSE CHILD?
mdp.39015063943651	He liked particularly"WATASH KEREO KAROSU JO"149"Has Kiyoshi Nimura been in here recently?"
mdp.39015063943651	He uttered the first thought that came into his head:"Have you seen the afternoon papers?"
mdp.39015063943651	He was born in New York"Blake interrupted with a very natural question:"Who are you?"
mdp.39015063943651	Here?"
mdp.39015063943651	Horner's?"
mdp.39015063943651	Horner's?"
mdp.39015063943651	How can I help?"
mdp.39015063943651	How could that happen — even though you do have a secret telephone number?"
mdp.39015063943651	How do you do, Blake?"
mdp.39015063943651	How many columns — or inches, is n't it these days — of space have you grabbed off today?"
mdp.39015063943651	How much is she interested in James Betterling?"
mdp.39015063943651	How would that help you?"
mdp.39015063943651	I cried,'What is it?'
mdp.39015063943651	I want to get into the apartment, also to visit Morne's dressing room — or has someone else since occupied it?"
mdp.39015063943651	I wonder if there was a piece of string found tied to the ring of Morne's parachute?
mdp.39015063943651	If Chadwick jumped from the airplane, as the papers report, and Vanuzzi remained on it, how could he have shot him?"
mdp.39015063943651	If it was Vanuzzi who kidnapped her, you do n't expect to find him in his apartment, do you?"
mdp.39015063943651	If there is nothing else you wish to ask I presume I may go?
mdp.39015063943651	Is it about Morne's murder?"
mdp.39015063943651	Is it certain she was not in on the night of... of the crime?"
mdp.39015063943651	Is n't it a fact that you threatened his life when you went to her hotel rooms one morning and found Morne there?"
mdp.39015063943651	Is she a stool pigeon that you place any trust in her information?"
mdp.39015063943651	It was to make the trip the next night —""Rather short notice for an air trip, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063943651	Just how can you prove it?"
mdp.39015063943651	KIYOSHI DISAPPEARS 95"Was it still following when you and Morne went to the wash room for a drink?"
mdp.39015063943651	Kemerson?"
mdp.39015063943651	Kemerson?"
mdp.39015063943651	Kemerson?"
mdp.39015063943651	Kemerson?"
mdp.39015063943651	Kemerson?"
mdp.39015063943651	Kemerson?"
mdp.39015063943651	Know anything about that?"
mdp.39015063943651	Know her name?"
mdp.39015063943651	Layman?"
mdp.39015063943651	Layman?"
mdp.39015063943651	May I see it?"
mdp.39015063943651	Might I suggest that you ask her?
mdp.39015063943651	Miss Vane did not fancy getting mixed up in the Morne murder case, but after she received a threatening telephone message, I insisted —""Insisted?"
mdp.39015063943651	Miss Vane did not utter any name when she cried out?"
mdp.39015063943651	Morne?"
mdp.39015063943651	Morne?"
mdp.39015063943651	Morne?"
mdp.39015063943651	Morne?"
mdp.39015063943651	Morne?"
mdp.39015063943651	Mr. Erskin, did this unknown pilot say where he had flown from?"
mdp.39015063943651	Must I turn you over to him?"
mdp.39015063943651	Nervous and afraid?"
mdp.39015063943651	No reason to suppose the Italian might have bumped Morne off?"
mdp.39015063943651	Nothing that would reflect his tastes, his personality?"
mdp.39015063943651	Notice the men outside the door?"
mdp.39015063943651	Now as to Betterling — did you ever see him act lover- like towards Mrs. Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	Now why should two men want to conceal the identity of Morne's valet?
mdp.39015063943651	Now, Mr. Betterling, you still maintain you did not see the Japanese valet this morning?"
mdp.39015063943651	Of having received any threats?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or am I to be held under suspicion along with Mr. Vanuzzi and Rolf Perkin?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or did she bear a closer relationship to you?
mdp.39015063943651	Or have they already found a culprit?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or hear him admit that he feared anyone?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or in a suitcase?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or make any?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or the Tribune?"
mdp.39015063943651	Or was it a plot, entered into by persons as yet unknown, for the deliberate pur- pose of doing away with the famous star?
mdp.39015063943651	Or whistle while you are shaving?"
mdp.39015063943651	Papers?"
mdp.39015063943651	Remembering the reason for his call on Layman, Blake asked:"Do you know anything about the sixth passenger on the Silver Lark — John Carter?
mdp.39015063943651	Robbery?
mdp.39015063943651	THE ACCOUNT OF THE EAR- WITNESS 109"Were such phrases as you overheard of a threaten- ing nature?"
mdp.39015063943651	That she did not make it up out of whole cloth?"
mdp.39015063943651	That you believe her A FAST ONE ON KEMERSON 137 innocent and do n't want to drag her into the investiga- tion?"
mdp.39015063943651	The Star?
mdp.39015063943651	The World?
mdp.39015063943651	The janitor saw you in the building, heard Vanuzzi address you by name""What do you want me to tell you?"
mdp.39015063943651	The latter looked up full into the press agent's eyes as he asked:"Did Mrs. Morne intend to divorce her husband?"
mdp.39015063943651	The lights are always out when the Jap gets in, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063943651	There is nothing you can add to throw any light on the affair?
mdp.39015063943651	Two, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063943651	VIDA LATTERBY DECIDES TO TALK 183"Not Kiyoshi Nimura?"
mdp.39015063943651	Vanuzzi?"
mdp.39015063943651	WHOSE CHILD?
mdp.39015063943651	WHOSE CHILD?
mdp.39015063943651	Was Chadwick Morne's journey on the Silver Lark a press agent stunt, engineered by Stephen Blake, publicity director for Arnold Siddarth?
mdp.39015063943651	Was Vanuzzi at the night club all eve- ning?"
mdp.39015063943651	Was any of them that of Vanuzzi?"
mdp.39015063943651	Was it the Times?
mdp.39015063943651	Were you born in America?"
mdp.39015063943651	Were you followed here?"
mdp.39015063943651	What are the police doing to solve the murder of Chadwick Morne?

mdp.39015063943651	What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015063943651	What did you come here to get?"
mdp.39015063943651	What did you say in the telegram?"
mdp.39015063943651	What do you say?"
mdp.39015063943651	What do you want of me?"
mdp.39015063943651	What do you want the key for?"
mdp.39015063943651	What does he say?"
mdp.39015063943651	What does it matter?
mdp.39015063943651	What else was said about her?"
mdp.39015063943651	What had Brewster to do with Morne?
mdp.39015063943651	What had the newspaper discovered that gave it such boldness?

mdp.39015063943651	What was in that letter?"
mdp.39015063943651	What was it?"

mdp.39015063943651	When did you see Mrs. Morne last?"

mdp.39015063943651	Where did you see her?"

mdp.39015063943651	Where was Stephen Blake, the press agent, on that night?
mdp.39015063943651	Where was a certain theatrical manager whose name has been freely coupled with that of the actor's widow?
mdp.39015063943651	Where were you the night of Morne's murder?"
mdp.39015063943651	Who besides you knew that he contemplated taking passage on the plane, or that he intended to disappear while up in the air?"

mdp.39015063943651	Why did he get hastily back into a taxicab with Vida Latterby when he saw you in front of Dalton's restaurant a few weeks ago?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you ask Mrs. Handsaker to lie for you?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you deny it?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why did you go?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why do you ask me?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why do you ask that?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why had not Dugan asked him, instead of his secretary, about his acquaintance with Mrs. Morne before her mar- riage?
mdp.39015063943651	Why had the butler, Steep, become hostile when asked if he had noticed any tender passages between Mrs. Morne and James Betterling?
mdp.39015063943651	Why have n't you communi- cated with me?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why should I want to kidnap a young woman who is practically a stranger to me?
mdp.39015063943651	Why should Miss Vane have wished to call attention to the blood- stained towels if she had seen your hand was injured?
mdp.39015063943651	Why should he go out to his pasture at eight o'clock in the morning carrying a revolver?
mdp.39015063943651	Why should n't that help in the detection of crime, too?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why the devil did n't you tell me it was you masquerading as Morne?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why were you late?"
mdp.39015063943651	Why?"
mdp.39015063943651	Will you be good enough to call at my office tomorrow morning at 9:30, if you are still interested in the detec- tion of crime?
mdp.39015063943651	Will you be good enough to tell Mr. Vanuzzi that Kirk Kemerson wishes to see him?"
mdp.39015063943651	Will you have your men round up Brewster?
mdp.39015063943651	Will you wait in the auditorium, please, while we continue our investigation?"
mdp.39015063943651	Yet why should Kemerson have expected him to drop in at Mrs. Handsaker's for his mail this night?
mdp.39015063943651	You been in hiding all this time?"
mdp.39015063943651	You can help me to keep her name out of the case""You mean that, Kemerson?
mdp.39015063943651	You do n't think she will be dragged into the investiga- tion?"
mdp.39015063943651	You have seen me be- fore?"
mdp.39015063943651	You heard no actual threat ut- tered against the life of your lodger?"
mdp.39015063943651	You know?"
mdp.39015063943651	You saw me come in?"
mdp.39015063943651	You still do not wish to tell me, Mrs. Morne, where you spent night before last, nor the reason for your call on Blake?"
mdp.39015063943651	You want me to interview Erskin, the owner of the gas station?"
mdp.39015063943651	crime?"
mdp.39015063943651	what about him, Stephen?"
mdp.39015063960531	A Frenchman?
mdp.39015063960531	A contrast in manners, was it not, gentle- men?
mdp.39015063960531	A great risk?
mdp.39015063960531	A look?
mdp.39015063960531	A man of the law, like yourself?
mdp.39015063960531	Afraid to?
mdp.39015063960531	Already going? mdp.39015063960531 And closed again after Vantine opened it?"
mdp.39015063960531	And do you know what we shall find in that drawer, Lester? mdp.39015063960531 And he accomplished all this by means of a confederate in the employ of the Armands?"
mdp.39015063960531	And how about Vantine?
mdp.39015063960531	And in trying to get those letters, he was killed?
mdp.39015063960531	And it is in your possession?
mdp.39015063960531	And killed in the same way?
mdp.39015063960531	And left the letters in it?
mdp.39015063960531	And none has been discovered?
mdp.39015063960531	And on his last trip to Europe, from which he returned only a few days ago, he purchased of Armand& Son, of Paris, a Boule cabinet?
mdp.39015063960531	And the other end?
mdp.39015063960531	And you have n't any idea where the other man got out?
mdp.39015063960531	And you were not able to do that?
mdp.39015063960531	Another man?
mdp.39015063960531	Another?
mdp.39015063960531	Are n't there some wooden shutters for these windows?
mdp.39015063960531	Are n't you going to try to capture him? mdp.39015063960531 Are you acting for Armarid& Son?"
mdp.39015063960531	Armand's man has n't called yet?
mdp.39015063960531	At what time?
mdp.39015063960531	Besides,I protested,"how would he get in?
mdp.39015063960531	But how about Armand?
mdp.39015063960531	But is n't it a beauty, Lester? mdp.39015063960531 But what made you suspect that the two women were the same?"
mdp.39015063960531	But what makes you think she killed Vantine?
mdp.39015063960531	But what sort of devilish instrument is it?
mdp.39015063960531	But who is he?
mdp.39015063960531	But why? mdp.39015063960531 But you are, of course, aware that no poison exists which would act so quickly?"
mdp.39015063960531	But you did not know of the Boule cabinet and of the secret drawer?
mdp.39015063960531	But you, personally, have been attending to this business?
mdp.39015063960531	But,I questioned,"what act of treachery was it that Armand feared?"
mdp.39015063960531	By Monsieur X.?
mdp.39015063960531	By accident? mdp.39015063960531 Ca n't you give us a closer description?"
mdp.39015063960531	Can you explain that to me, too?
mdp.39015063960531	Can you make a guess as to the nature of the poison?
mdp.39015063960531	Comment?
mdp.39015063960531	Could n't make out? mdp.39015063960531 Dead?
mdp.39015063960531	Dead?
mdp.39015063960531	Did I have a fit?
mdp.39015063960531	Did I understand that you said Mr. Vantine is dead?
mdp.39015063960531	Did Mr. Vantine know him?
mdp.39015063960531	Did Parks come in?
mdp.39015063960531	Did any reporter for the Record ever find a case that was usual?
mdp.39015063960531	Did he see you look at him?
mdp.39015063960531	Did n't you blush for America?
mdp.39015063960531	Did you look through the rooms?
mdp.39015063960531	Did you ring, sir?
mdp.39015063960531	Did you see anything of his face?
mdp.39015063960531	Did you take a look at the windows?
mdp.39015063960531	Do n't you know nothing about it?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you know her?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you know the provisions of the will?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you mean that this cabinet is connected with them in any way?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you mean to say,Godfrey demanded sternly,"that that is not the woman who called on Mr. Vantine to- night?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you remember anything about it?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you think I could be mistaken in such a matter, sir? mdp.39015063960531 Does the alarm work now?"
mdp.39015063960531	Everything quiet?
mdp.39015063960531	Feel better?
mdp.39015063960531	First the man who gave his name as 3io THE MYSTERY OF What secret was safe, I asked myself, from this astonishing man? mdp.39015063960531 Found?
mdp.39015063960531	Godfrey,I said,"are you still bent on fool- ing with that thing?"
mdp.39015063960531	Godfrey,I whispered,"whose voice was it — or did I dream it — something about a woman?"
mdp.39015063960531	Going on, sir?
mdp.39015063960531	Had she ever been here before?
mdp.39015063960531	Has anyone sent for a doctor?
mdp.39015063960531	Has no other explanation been found for the death of Mr. Van- tine and of this stranger?
mdp.39015063960531	Have you any theory about it?
mdp.39015063960531	Have you arranged to start on that vacation Thursday?
mdp.39015063960531	Have you ever learned that he had an enemy?
mdp.39015063960531	Have you examined it?
mdp.39015063960531	Have you found out who he is?
mdp.39015063960531	He was a collector of old furniture, I be- lieve?
mdp.39015063960531	He was never married, I believe?
mdp.39015063960531	He was your lover?
mdp.39015063960531	He's a good sport, is n't he?
mdp.39015063960531	He's dead, then?
mdp.39015063960531	Hello,I said,"so you're able to be up, are you?"
mdp.39015063960531	Help move it, sir?
mdp.39015063960531	His best girl?
mdp.39015063960531	How Is that?
mdp.39015063960531	How are you feeling to- day, Lester?
mdp.39015063960531	How do you feel?
mdp.39015063960531	How do you keep it up, Godfrey?
mdp.39015063960531	How do you know it's certain?
mdp.39015063960531	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063960531	How high is the hole?
mdp.39015063960531	How is Rogers?
mdp.39015063960531	How long a time elapsed after Parks an- nounced the man before you and Mr. Vantine came downstairs?
mdp.39015063960531	How long have you known him, Parks?
mdp.39015063960531	How many conferences have we had in this room? mdp.39015063960531 How would he know it?"
mdp.39015063960531	I am now free to open the drawer?
mdp.39015063960531	I shall be at the Hotel Astor, and shall be glad to see you — shall we say at eleven o'clock? mdp.39015063960531 I suppose she also confessed that it was really she who called upon Mr. Vantine? ” he sneered.
mdp.39015063960531	I will not conceal from you that we had already thought of him — as what dealer does not when he acquires something rare and beautiful? mdp.39015063960531 I wonder what its contents have been from the days of Madame de Montespan down to the pres- ent?
mdp.39015063960531	If your theory about it has been exploded, what's the use of hanging on to it?
mdp.39015063960531	In Paris?
mdp.39015063960531	In the light of those provisions, do you know of any one who would have an interest in Van- tine's death?
mdp.39015063960531	Inserted at the hand?
mdp.39015063960531	Is everything all right?
mdp.39015063960531	Is it working?
mdp.39015063960531	Is it you, Mr. Lester?
mdp.39015063960531	Is that the cabinet?' mdp.39015063960531 Is that you, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	It is n't yours?
mdp.39015063960531	It looks that way, does n't it?
mdp.39015063960531	It was a mistake, then?
mdp.39015063960531	It was n't a snake bite?
mdp.39015063960531	It's a beauty, is n't it?
mdp.39015063960531	It's like old times, is n't it, Lester?
mdp.39015063960531	Kill a man?
mdp.39015063960531	Last night?
mdp.39015063960531	Lock it up?
mdp.39015063960531	Look here, Godfrey,I said,"if it was n't poison, what was it?"
mdp.39015063960531	Mr. Lester,he began,"I understand that you are the administrator of the estate of the late Philip Vantine?"
mdp.39015063960531	Mr. Simmonds had a little valise with him — did you notice it?
mdp.39015063960531	My dear Lester,Godfrey protested,"when you attack a poisonous snake, you do n't do it with bare hands, do you?"
mdp.39015063960531	No hurry,Grady assured him, and then, when his breath was coming easier,"What did you do then?"
mdp.39015063960531	No,said Godfrey,"all this is just incidental — you began the discussion yourself, did n't you?
mdp.39015063960531	Not connected with this affair?
mdp.39015063960531	Now, gentlemen,he went on,"what is it that I can do for you?"
mdp.39015063960531	On the same spot?
mdp.39015063960531	On what grounds?
mdp.39015063960531	Parks,I said,"is it true that there is a burglar- alarm on all the windows?"
mdp.39015063960531	Parks,he went on sternly, as that worthy appeared at the door,,"what has been going on in here?"
mdp.39015063960531	Perhaps you will be so kind as to have a steward take my card to him?
mdp.39015063960531	See it?
mdp.39015063960531	Shall I attend to it?
mdp.39015063960531	Shall I show him out, sir?
mdp.39015063960531	ShallT come, too?
mdp.39015063960531	Simmonds,I said, seriously,"does Godfrey know about this?"
mdp.39015063960531	So that it is mine now?
mdp.39015063960531	So that's true, is it?
mdp.39015063960531	So you can give us no hint as to this woman's identity?
mdp.39015063960531	That seems rather foolish, does n't it?
mdp.39015063960531	That seems to put a puncture in our little romance, does n't it?
mdp.39015063960531	That was the last roll, was n't it?
mdp.39015063960531	The burglar- alarm?
mdp.39015063960531	The siege?
mdp.39015063960531	The woman was n't here?
mdp.39015063960531	Then Mr. Vantine's cabinet is still in Paris?
mdp.39015063960531	Then he's not dead?
mdp.39015063960531	Then how did you know Vantine was dead? mdp.39015063960531 Then the drawer is not guarded by poison?"
mdp.39015063960531	Then what was it?
mdp.39015063960531	Then why did n't it work when I opened those windows just now?
mdp.39015063960531	Then you do n't believe it was by accident that cabinet was sent to Vantine?
mdp.39015063960531	Then you mean that you do know who she was?
mdp.39015063960531	Then you see it, too?
mdp.39015063960531	Then you still believe in the poisoned mechan- ism?
mdp.39015063960531	There'd be no objection to that, would there?
mdp.39015063960531	This is all true, I suppose?
mdp.39015063960531	To its owner?
mdp.39015063960531	Was he ever, to your knowledge, involved with a woman?
mdp.39015063960531	Was it to tell me that you got me over here?
mdp.39015063960531	We'd better give him his instructions about the reporters, first thing, had n't we, Lester?
mdp.39015063960531	Well, Parks,I said, as we stepped inside,"everything is all right, I hope?"
mdp.39015063960531	Well, and then what happened?
mdp.39015063960531	Well, what about it?
mdp.39015063960531	Well, what is it?
mdp.39015063960531	Well,asked Godfrey, looking at him,"dc you think you deserve any?"
mdp.39015063960531	Well?
mdp.39015063960531	Well?
mdp.39015063960531	Were n't they uncrated in the customs?
mdp.39015063960531	What I should like to know,he said, after a moment,"is this: if this fellow took poison, what did he take it out of?
mdp.39015063960531	What about?
mdp.39015063960531	What are you going to do about it?
mdp.39015063960531	What did he want?
mdp.39015063960531	What did you do then?
mdp.39015063960531	What do you mean by 1 counterpart?'
mdp.39015063960531	What do you mean?
mdp.39015063960531	What do you say about the cabinet?
mdp.39015063960531	What do you think of that?
mdp.39015063960531	What does he care for risks? mdp.39015063960531 What does he want?"
mdp.39015063960531	What does it mean?
mdp.39015063960531	What is it you want me to do?
mdp.39015063960531	What is it, Godfrey?
mdp.39015063960531	What is it, Julie? ” asked her mistress, tak- ing her hand. mdp.39015063960531 What is it, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	What is it, then?
mdp.39015063960531	What is it?
mdp.39015063960531	What is it?
mdp.39015063960531	What is its value?
mdp.39015063960531	What is the conclusion?
mdp.39015063960531	What is the room yonder used for?
mdp.39015063960531	What kind of a fool do you think I am?
mdp.39015063960531	What made you think he was excited?
mdp.39015063960531	What makes you think that?
mdp.39015063960531	What name?
mdp.39015063960531	What sent me off?
mdp.39015063960531	What time do you expect him to- morrow?
mdp.39015063960531	What was it?
mdp.39015063960531	What was the contents of the drawer?
mdp.39015063960531	What's the matter with this house, anyway?
mdp.39015063960531	Where ami?
mdp.39015063960531	Where are you going now?
mdp.39015063960531	Where did it come from?
mdp.39015063960531	Where did you get it?
mdp.39015063960531	Where is he — Piggott? mdp.39015063960531 Where is the cabinet which Mr. Vantine did buy?"
mdp.39015063960531	Where shall I meet you?
mdp.39015063960531	Where were the other servants?
mdp.39015063960531	Where's Kelly?
mdp.39015063960531	Where's that man Godfrey?
mdp.39015063960531	Which one of'em found Vantine's body?
mdp.39015063960531	Which reporters?
mdp.39015063960531	Which room is the cabinet in?
mdp.39015063960531	Who did then?
mdp.39015063960531	Who is Rogers?
mdp.39015063960531	Who is he? mdp.39015063960531 Who is he?"
mdp.39015063960531	Why ca n't we ambush him?
mdp.39015063960531	Why else would there be a snap- lock on the out- side of the door? mdp.39015063960531 Why not leave it where it is?"
mdp.39015063960531	Why not?
mdp.39015063960531	Why not?
mdp.39015063960531	Why?
mdp.39015063960531	Will you need any help?
mdp.39015063960531	Will you need me?
mdp.39015063960531	Will you show me how it is operated, Mr. Lester? mdp.39015063960531 With the cabinet?"
mdp.39015063960531	Yes, sir?
mdp.39015063960531	Yes,I agreed;"and now how about Van- tine?"
mdp.39015063960531	Yes,I said,"I know; but we're all up a tree, are n't we?"
mdp.39015063960531	Yes,I said;"and then?"
mdp.39015063960531	You are sure?
mdp.39015063960531	You did n't hear anything — no sound of a struggle?
mdp.39015063960531	You did not know?
mdp.39015063960531	You did not, by any chance, know him?
mdp.39015063960531	You do n't think so now, then?
mdp.39015063960531	You do n't? mdp.39015063960531 You do not even know who this stranger was?"
mdp.39015063960531	You had bought one, then?
mdp.39015063960531	You have been his attorney for some time?
mdp.39015063960531	You have n't come in here at midnight to tell me that, I hope?
mdp.39015063960531	You know who he is, then?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean he has been killed in this house?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean he'd kill us?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean one of his mistresses?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean they both suicided in that abnormal way?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean you did n't let the woman out?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean you're going to have this cabinet, whatever the cost?
mdp.39015063960531	You mean you're willing to give a hundred thousand dollars for this cabinet?
mdp.39015063960531	You meant, I suppose, that such a poison did, at one time, exist there?
mdp.39015063960531	You say you did n't search these rooms?
mdp.39015063960531	You say you have a photograph?
mdp.39015063960531	You say you never saw the woman before?
mdp.39015063960531	You still think it was her photograph he car- ried in his watch?
mdp.39015063960531	You will have to turn the cabinet over to him, of course?
mdp.39015063960531	You're in charge of this ca9e, are n't you? mdp.39015063960531 You're still at the Marathon?"
mdp.39015063960531	You're sure of that?
mdp.39015063960531	You, of course, have personal knowledge of all this?
mdp.39015063960531	Your friend — I think you mentioned his name?
mdp.39015063960531	.How was it done?
mdp.39015063960531	126 THE MYSTERY OF"And all the rest?"
mdp.39015063960531	130 THE MYSTERY OF"You do n't?
mdp.39015063960531	156 THE MYSTERY OF"You mean that a mistake had been made in the shipment?"
mdp.39015063960531	170 THE MYSTERY OF"By poison?"
mdp.39015063960531	174 THE MYSTERY OF"What was his name?"
mdp.39015063960531	208 THE MYSTERY OF"Disproved?
mdp.39015063960531	216 THE MYSTERY OF"What is her name and address?"

mdp.39015063960531	Am I right so far?"
mdp.39015063960531	And Crochard?
mdp.39015063960531	And could that aged Frenchman with the white, fine, wrinkled skin be also the bronzed and virile personage whom I had known as Felix Armand?
mdp.39015063960531	And do you see how it is depressed in the middle, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	And still I went back to him! ”"What was his name?"
mdp.39015063960531	And you know noth- ing of this Frenchman?"
mdp.39015063960531	Are you coming?"
mdp.39015063960531	Are you going to let him get away?"
mdp.39015063960531	At any rate, you agree with me that both men were killed in some such way as I have described?"
mdp.39015063960531	Billets- doux from the great Louis to the Montes- pan, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063960531	But by whom and for what purpose?
mdp.39015063960531	But how did it happen that THE BOULE CABINET 107 it was Vantine who was killed?
mdp.39015063960531	But meanwhile, how would you like a whiff of salt air this evening?"
mdp.39015063960531	But who was she?
mdp.39015063960531	But you did know, of course, that Crochard would seek a market for the diamonds here in America?"
mdp.39015063960531	But you do n't expect to stay there forever, do you, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	But you say that the drawer was found and that there was no poison?
mdp.39015063960531	But, in the first place, if the Frenchman got the drawer open, who closed it?"
mdp.39015063960531	Can you come up to the house and lunch with me to- day?"
mdp.39015063960531	Can you suggest an explanation?"
mdp.39015063960531	Could Godfrey be right?
mdp.39015063960531	Could any man be normal who was willing to pay a hundred thousand dollars for a piece of furniture?
mdp.39015063960531	Did he propose to leave that priceless cabinet in this dingy quarter?
mdp.39015063960531	Did he refund it to you?"
mdp.39015063960531	Did n't you ever see a dead man before? ”"It ai n't that, ” gasped Rogers.
mdp.39015063960531	Did the woman, warned by the fate of the man, deliberately set Vantine to open the drawer in order that she might run no risk?
mdp.39015063960531	Did you ever see that person before?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do n't you think the ribbon would look well in your button- hole?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do n't you wish this drawer could tell its secrets, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you know Rogers's story?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you know anything of the history of that cabinet, Monsieur Armand?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you know what that means, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you mean to say you know what it is all about?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you suppose for an instant that Armand was ignorant of his presence in that house?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you suppose he would be deceived?
mdp.39015063960531	Do you suppose he would have been able to take Armand prisoner if Armand had not been willing that he should?"
mdp.39015063960531	Do you think I ought to hold on to the cabinet a while longer?
mdp.39015063960531	Does Mr. Vantine need me?"
mdp.39015063960531	Does he seek to remove me?
mdp.39015063960531	Does he think those letters are still in it?"
mdp.39015063960531	Espe- cially a man who could not afford such extrava- gance?
mdp.39015063960531	From what ambush did she strike?
mdp.39015063960531	Godfrey?"
mdp.39015063960531	Godfrey?"
mdp.39015063960531	Goldberger?"
mdp.39015063960531	Got your pistol, Parks? ” “ Yes, sir,"and he took it from his pocket.
mdp.39015063960531	Had I any excuse for being present?
mdp.39015063960531	Have you noticed his size, Godfrey?
mdp.39015063960531	He did n't swallow that too, did he?"
mdp.39015063960531	He got away with the jewels, of course? ” “ Of course,"I assented, surprised that God.
mdp.39015063960531	He got away, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063960531	He has heard all the evidence, but does he know who that woman was? ” “ Of course not,"I said, and then I looked at him.
mdp.39015063960531	How did he know which roll of cotton contained that Mazarin diamond?
mdp.39015063960531	How did it happen, when the veiled lady went to Armand& Son in Paris, that she was directed to Philip Vantine?
mdp.39015063960531	How did our friend Grady get along? ”.
mdp.39015063960531	How did she happen to come to you?"
mdp.39015063960531	How does it happen that each of the victims is struck on the right hand?
mdp.39015063960531	How had Drouet and Vantine been killed?
mdp.39015063960531	How had she escaped?
mdp.39015063960531	How many of your cigars have I made away with?"
mdp.39015063960531	How was it done?"
mdp.39015063960531	How was she able to strike so surely?
mdp.39015063960531	How was that poison administered?
mdp.39015063960531	How will I get it?"
mdp.39015063960531	How would he get away?
mdp.39015063960531	I dare say you're used to this sort of thing--""Finding dead men lying around? ” I queried, with a smile.
mdp.39015063960531	I hope that you agree with me that that was the right thing to do?"
mdp.39015063960531	I just wanted to ask you — did you help move any of the furniture in the room yon- der?"
mdp.39015063960531	I knew Godfrey, so I waited patiently until the cigar was going nicely, then —"Well?"
mdp.39015063960531	I sup- pose you think this fellow was murdered?
mdp.39015063960531	I suppose I can rely on them?"
mdp.39015063960531	I suppose it is still at the station?"
mdp.39015063960531	I suppose we shall have to call the police, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	I wonder if you understand how great a genius?
mdp.39015063960531	I'm going home — I'm dead tired. ” “ Shall I call a cab, sir?"
mdp.39015063960531	If we had captured him, do you suppose Armand's secret would have been safe for an instant?
mdp.39015063960531	In a word, what was all this mystery about?
mdp.39015063960531	In what manner was such a wound made?"
mdp.39015063960531	In what way?"
mdp.39015063960531	Is it all right, sir?"
mdp.39015063960531	Is that right, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Is there a message I can give him?"
mdp.39015063960531	Is there any foundation for talk of that kind?"
mdp.39015063960531	It might be just as well to get that cot out of the way and have all the lights going?"
mdp.39015063960531	It's easy to find explanations, is n't it? ” he queried."
mdp.39015063960531	Know anything about'em?"
mdp.39015063960531	Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Must we compel a man to betray his master?
mdp.39015063960531	Must we probe that secret?
mdp.39015063960531	Now — what has happened?"
mdp.39015063960531	Or was he merely piecing to- gether the whole story from such fragments as he knew?
mdp.39015063960531	Or was neither Pigot?
mdp.39015063960531	Or was she also ignorant of the mechanism?
mdp.39015063960531	Or was the man who had opened the cab- inet Pigot?
mdp.39015063960531	Perhaps it would be better if I called for you?"
mdp.39015063960531	Pigot?"
mdp.39015063960531	Rather fierce, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063960531	Shall I get them?"
mdp.39015063960531	Shall I get you something?"
mdp.39015063960531	Shall a woman not be loved?
mdp.39015063960531	Since they were not taken, it fol- lows, does n't it, that he was killed before he had a chance at the drawer?
mdp.39015063960531	So I returned to my chair and sat down to review the events of the evening; but I found that somehow my brain THE BOULE CABINET 333 “ Was he hurt?"
mdp.39015063960531	So you're back again?"
mdp.39015063960531	Some intui- tion told me that; and yet, how had Crochard man- aged to substitute himself for the French detec- tive?
mdp.39015063960531	THE BOULE CABINET 123"Nothing can save a man, then?"
mdp.39015063960531	THE BOULE CABINET 161"Does any one besides your client know of the existence of these letters?"
mdp.39015063960531	THE BOULE CABINET 169"Is it the right one, madame?"
mdp.39015063960531	THE BOULE CABINET 191"Have you any further questions to ask her?"
mdp.39015063960531	THE BOULE CABINET 5"I suppose you found some new things while you were away?"
mdp.39015063960531	That proves, does n't it, that this fellow came to New York expressly to see Mr. Van- tine?"
mdp.39015063960531	The facts seem to point to suicide; but if he swallowed prussic acid, where's the bottle?
mdp.39015063960531	The secret drawer has been found?"
mdp.39015063960531	Then again, how did he know so certainly just how the mechanism worked?
mdp.39015063960531	Then what does this mean?"
mdp.39015063960531	Then you did n't get my message? ” “ Yes — they gave it to me when I'phoned in that the Westchester business was a fake.
mdp.39015063960531	There had been less THE BOULE CABINET 223"Would you recognise the man, if you were to meet him again?"
mdp.39015063960531	There is no hope of finding him here in New York?"
mdp.39015063960531	This woman is in New York? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063960531	This your bag?
mdp.39015063960531	Understand?"
mdp.39015063960531	Vantine?"
mdp.39015063960531	Vantine?"
mdp.39015063960531	Was Vantine quite normal, I wondered?
mdp.39015063960531	Was he lying some- where in a crumpled heap, with a tiny wound upon his hand?
mdp.39015063960531	Was he trying to evade the duty?"
mdp.39015063960531	Was it poison killed him, sir?"
mdp.39015063960531	Was it pos- sible that this could be a different man than the one who had opened the cabinet?
mdp.39015063960531	Was the drawer empty?"
mdp.39015063960531	Was this Pigot?
mdp.39015063960531	Well, what follows?"
mdp.39015063960531	Were you to meet him here?"
mdp.39015063960531	What could Armand be doing in this part of the town, I asked myself?
mdp.39015063960531	What do you mean, Parks?"
mdp.39015063960531	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063960531	What do you think, Simmonds?"
mdp.39015063960531	What is he doing here?"
mdp.39015063960531	What is it?"
mdp.39015063960531	What is there about that Boule cab- inet which makes this unknown willing to do mur- der for it?
mdp.39015063960531	What time was it he got to Vantine's? ”.
mdp.39015063960531	What ugly skeleton was to be dragged from its closet?
mdp.39015063960531	What was about to happen there?
mdp.39015063960531	What was he after, if he left the letters behind?"
mdp.39015063960531	What was he doing in here?"
mdp.39015063960531	What was he doing in this house?"
mdp.39015063960531	What was he doing there against the wall?
mdp.39015063960531	What was the secret of the cabinet?
mdp.39015063960531	What was the sensation M. Pigot had up his sleeve?
mdp.39015063960531	What's the matter with you, anyhow?
mdp.39015063960531	What's up?"
mdp.39015063960531	When will it be convenient for you to go with us?"
mdp.39015063960531	Where had she concealed herself?
mdp.39015063960531	Where shall we put the body, sir?"
mdp.39015063960531	Where was Pigot?
mdp.39015063960531	Where was her hiding- place?
mdp.39015063960531	Where's Rogers?"
mdp.39015063960531	Where's the paper, or bottle, or whatever it was?"
mdp.39015063960531	Who had helped Vantine place it there, I won- dered?
mdp.39015063960531	Who had told me that?
mdp.39015063960531	Who or what killed him?
mdp.39015063960531	Who was that bearded giant who was killed?
mdp.39015063960531	Who was this man?
mdp.39015063960531	Who's that?"
mdp.39015063960531	Who, I wondered, had bought the Mazarin?
mdp.39015063960531	Why did n't he also know about the poison? ” That was an objection, truly, and the more I thought of it, the more serious it seemed.
mdp.39015063960531	Why did n't you try to help him?"
mdp.39015063960531	Why had they been killed?
mdp.39015063960531	Why not the left hand?
mdp.39015063960531	Why the hand at all?"
mdp.39015063960531	Why were they exchanged?
mdp.39015063960531	Will you be at home to- night, Lester?"
mdp.39015063960531	Will you come along?"
mdp.39015063960531	Would you know this woman if you saw her again?"
mdp.39015063960531	Yes?
mdp.39015063960531	You do n't see that this house was to be entered to- night?
mdp.39015063960531	You knew this man?"
mdp.39015063960531	You permit me?"
mdp.39015063960531	You say that he was found dead in a room at his house?"
mdp.39015063960531	You will come?"
mdp.39015063960531	You, no doubt, have a theory in regard to the death of these men?"

mdp.39015063960531	“ Above all, who wields it?"

mdp.39015063960531	“ And he did n't come out into the hall while you were there? ” “ No, sir."
mdp.39015063960531	“ And paid fifteen thousand francs for it?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ And you do n't think Vantine did?"

mdp.39015063960531	“ Can we find a box of safe- deposit at this hour of the night? ” asked M. Pigot, glancing at his watch.

mdp.39015063960531	“ Did anybody come in?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ Did n't you see that fellow this afternoon? ”. “ That was different,"Rogers moaned.
mdp.39015063960531	“ Did you know her? ” questioned Grady.
mdp.39015063960531	“ Do you know who he is, Godfrey?
mdp.39015063960531	“ Do you mean that you do?
mdp.39015063960531	“ Do you mean to say it was n't Piggott? ” stammered Grady, at last.
mdp.39015063960531	“ Do you mean to say that you and Rogers went away and left this stranger here by him- self?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ He left a will, I suppose? ” he asked, at last.
mdp.39015063960531	“ How about the odour? ” Godfrey persisted.
mdp.39015063960531	“ How was she dressed?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ Is it Mr. Godfrey?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ Is it on again, now? ”.
mdp.39015063960531	“ It ai n't that — though I never saw a murdered man be- fore. ”"What?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ Of course,"he suggested gently, “ as soon as you reached home you related to your mistress what had occurred?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ See here, Lester,"Vantine demanded,"if he did n't kill himself, what happened to him?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ Shall I call the police, madame?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ She was French, was she? ” “ Yes, sir; though she could speak some Eng- lish.
mdp.39015063960531	“ Then you do believe it?"
mdp.39015063960531	“ Understand, Mr. Lester? ” he asked, looking at me, and I nodded.
mdp.39015063960531	“ Well, why not? ” she demanded fiercely, and I felt that she was addressing my turned back.
mdp.39015063960531	“ Well?"

mdp.39015063960531	“ What do you mean by that? ” Grady de- manded, in a lower tone.
mdp.39015063960531	“ What has Catherine de Medici to do with it? ” “ Nothing- except that what has been done may always be done again.
mdp.39015063960531	“ What's the matter with Goldberger?

njp.32101067627412	Could she have guessed, what none of the other servants knew, that the man was a spy in search of the Colonel?
njp.32101067627412	Could this, too, be a wig?

njp.32101067627412	How about the widows and orphans confided to you?'
njp.32101067627412	How dare you talk of arresting me?'
njp.32101067627412	How do I know the fellow was a policeman at all?

njp.32101067627412	How had he dared to introduce the impostor to solid men as Professor Schleiermacher?
njp.32101067627412	I ask you, sir, could I reconcile it to my conscience?'
njp.32101067627412	I asked of the curate;'or are they only stuck on — a make- up disguise?
njp.32101067627412	I suppose you know them?'
njp.32101067627412	I think it used to run,"Quis custodes custodict ipsos?'"

njp.32101067627412	If so, how had he found it out?

njp.32101067627412	The side- pockets — ha, what was this?
njp.32101067627412	There was dead silence in court as the clerk put the question,'Do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not guilty?'
njp.32101067627412	Though even when he has played it, why should I trust his word?
njp.32101067627412	Though how can I act as an efficient detective, any way, if you insist upon tying my hands like that, beforehand?'
njp.32101067627412	Try myrtle; do n't you think so?'
njp.32101067627412	WHERE'S THAT HANSOM GONE?
njp.32101067627412	Was he afraid of measuring swords with this trained detective?
njp.32101067627412	Was he bent, then, upon ruining me?
njp.32101067627412	Was he sure of his man?
njp.32101067627412	Was it not well worth my while paying you that slight commission in return for a guarantee of your future silence?
njp.32101067627412	Was it possible he knew we were guarded and watched?
njp.32101067627412	We murmured, • Von Lebenstein I''And this?'
njp.32101067627412	Well, how about dia- monds now, Sir Gorgius?
njp.32101067627412	Well, how did he get it?'
njp.32101067627412	Well, this is strange news, is n't it?
njp.32101067627412	Went worth?'
njp.32101067627412	What THE EPISODE OF THE SELDON GOLD- MINE 195 money is there to be made here in any other way?
njp.32101067627412	What could have seemed more transparent than Medhurst, the detective, till he ran away with our notes in the very moment of triumph?
njp.32101067627412	What do these ruffians want with you?'
njp.32101067627412	What do you mean by this conduct?
njp.32101067627412	What do you say, then, to my right?
njp.32101067627412	What good would it have done?
njp.32101067627412	What hotel is he stopping at?'
njp.32101067627412	What more innocent than White Heather and the little curate, till they landed us with a couple of Amelia's own gems as a splendid bargain?
njp.32101067627412	What more simple for her than to warn her fellow- conspirator of the danger that awaited him if he approached this man Medhurst?
njp.32101067627412	What on earth was I to do?
njp.32101067627412	What reason had he for doubting his word?
njp.32101067627412	What sort of work?
njp.32101067627412	When again shall such infantile transparency be mine?
njp.32101067627412	When, ah, when?
njp.32101067627412	Whenever I hit upon a good epithet, I back my luck, do n't you see?
njp.32101067627412	Where are Cloetedorps to- day?
njp.32101067627412	Where is he?
njp.32101067627412	Why on earth should you doubt them?'
njp.32101067627412	Why, when we began to suspect the Honourable David Granton, had we not, as if by accident, tried to knock his red wig off?
njp.32101067627412	Will you drop in and see it?'
njp.32101067627412	Would he ask for items?
njp.32101067627412	Would you allow me to offer you one?.
njp.32101067627412	You are stopping at the inn, I fancy?'
njp.32101067627412	You do n't surely mean to say you're going to leave us here?'
njp.32101067627412	You have n't let him slip through your hands as you did that murderer fellow?'
njp.32101067627412	You understand my system?'
njp.32101067627412	You've heard of Colonel Clay?'
njp.32101067627412	Young?
njp.32101067627412	he asked at last,'or what do they mean by this nonsensical gibberish about Antonio Herrera?'
njp.32101067627412	he cried, grasping his hand;'what's up?
njp.32101067627412	ii4 AN AFRICAN MILLIONAIRE What do you mean?
njp.32101067627412	of the reef was by far the larger and more important?'
njp.32101067627412	or that I'd sell out openly through Finglemore, my i6o AN AFRICAN MILLIONAIRE usual broker?
njp.32101067627412	she cried,'do you know what dreadful thing has happened?
njp.32101067627412	to my Parliamentary"At Home"on Wed- nesday fortnight?'
njp.32101067627412	venture to say I've redressed the board, and I think we may count it a drawn game, may n't we?
njp.32101063579682	.What have we here? njp.32101063579682 A debt?
njp.32101063579682	A rock?
njp.32101063579682	Able to stand a cross- examination?
njp.32101063579682	Almost overhead and to the west, was it not?
njp.32101063579682	And Dolly?
njp.32101063579682	And all the brothers too?
njp.32101063579682	And he was frightened away before he could make way with the carcass? njp.32101063579682 And how about that gash in the back of his neck?
njp.32101063579682	And knowing, do you think it was right to bring him down here?
njp.32101063579682	And what has brought about this change of heart?
njp.32101063579682	And what will you do?
njp.32101063579682	Any pain?
njp.32101063579682	Anything new?
njp.32101063579682	Are n't there others coming? njp.32101063579682 Are you all right?
njp.32101063579682	Are you any the worse for the rough usage our ocean gave you? njp.32101063579682 Are you appealing to me for help in your fam- ily affairs?"
njp.32101063579682	Are you down here working?
njp.32101063579682	Are you dressed already, Helga?
njp.32101063579682	Are you familiar with the beautiful, big arachnid with the yellow- and- black wings?
njp.32101063579682	Are you ready, Petit PSre? njp.32101063579682 Are you — do you live here?"
njp.32101063579682	Are you?
njp.32101063579682	As long ago as ten o'clock last night?
njp.32101063579682	Begins to look pretty interest- ing, does n't it?
njp.32101063579682	Bryn Mawr?
njp.32101063579682	But for what purpose? njp.32101063579682 But is it an open field?"
njp.32101063579682	But surely Helga Johnston did not tell you all this?
njp.32101063579682	But the wound? njp.32101063579682 But what in Heaven's name does it mean?"
njp.32101063579682	But where's he?
njp.32101063579682	But — but this pteranodon — is that it? njp.32101063579682 By some other person?"
njp.32101063579682	Ca n't Mr. Haynes bring you?
njp.32101063579682	Can you not describe it?
njp.32101063579682	Can you qualify as an expert?
njp.32101063579682	Could it kill a man with its beak?
njp.32101063579682	Dick, too? njp.32101063579682 Dick, you scoundrel, why did n't you tell me they were here?"
njp.32101063579682	Did I break your lantern?
njp.32101063579682	Did I curse you out? njp.32101063579682 Did I frighten you?"
njp.32101063579682	Did it affect you unpleasantly?
njp.32101063579682	Did it seem to be on the ground, or in mid- air?
njp.32101063579682	Did n't I hear somethin'about that juggler that was cast ashore from the Milly Esham bein'a knife- thrower?
njp.32101063579682	Did you come in this evening? njp.32101063579682 Did you ever smell a copperhead snake?"
njp.32101063579682	Did you find out anything about him, Monsieur Dupin?
njp.32101063579682	Did you hear it too?
njp.32101063579682	Did you hear the sheep too?
njp.32101063579682	Did you see anyone fight with Petersen or strike him?
njp.32101063579682	Did you see?
njp.32101063579682	Did you want my father?
njp.32101063579682	Did you? njp.32101063579682 Did your horse roll into one of the gullies?"
njp.32101063579682	Do n't you care for him?
njp.32101063579682	Do you mean that you did n't care for him that way?
njp.32101063579682	Do you smell anything peculiar?
njp.32101063579682	Do you think she loves Haynes?
njp.32101063579682	Do your people know?
njp.32101063579682	Does the buoy carry more than one at a time?
njp.32101063579682	Dolly, do you care at all?
njp.32101063579682	Done anything?
njp.32101063579682	Dr. Colton, did it ever occur to you to look up the weather records for that night?
njp.32101063579682	Ev,said Dick affectionately,"you do n't know — How is she now?"
njp.32101063579682	Even allowing that — and I expect to get con- clusive proof against it later — what, then, chased the animal over the cliff?
njp.32101063579682	Ever hear of an ostrich farm hereabouts?
njp.32101063579682	Everard?
njp.32101063579682	Give it back?
njp.32101063579682	Good- bye?
njp.32101063579682	Had you not better see her yourself?
njp.32101063579682	Has Everard been with you?
njp.32101063579682	Has Miss Ravenden told her of Haynes'ill- ness?
njp.32101063579682	Has anything happened?
njp.32101063579682	Has he hurt you?
njp.32101063579682	Have I been sent to THE INSOMNIAC 7 a private lunatic asylum?
njp.32101063579682	Have I done anything, Miss Dol — Miss Raven- den?
njp.32101063579682	Have n't you any of your own?
njp.32101063579682	Have n't you heard Helga sing?
njp.32101063579682	Have you been out trying to gather more evi- dence against my poor juggler?
njp.32101063579682	Have you found any- thing?
njp.32101063579682	Haynes? njp.32101063579682 He is dead?"
njp.32101063579682	He'd have to walk out to get it, would n't he?
njp.32101063579682	He's been drowned and"Drowned?
njp.32101063579682	Headlong? njp.32101063579682 Helga, do you mean that I had my chance?
njp.32101063579682	Helga? njp.32101063579682 Him kill Petersen?"
njp.32101063579682	How could I tell? njp.32101063579682 How did you dare?"
njp.32101063579682	How did you find it?
njp.32101063579682	How did you know?
njp.32101063579682	How do you do it?
njp.32101063579682	How do you feel, my friend?
njp.32101063579682	How far did Bruce's footprints go?
njp.32101063579682	How goes the quest for slumber?
njp.32101063579682	How happens that?
njp.32101063579682	How long has it been going on?
njp.32101063579682	How long has that been there?
njp.32101063579682	How many kites do you think there were in the string?
njp.32101063579682	How's your salvage, Princess?
njp.32101063579682	I wondered what you meant when you said that the children of the sea dream the sea's dreams?
njp.32101063579682	Impossible? njp.32101063579682 Into danger?"
njp.32101063579682	Is Everard Colton your brother? njp.32101063579682 Is n't it great that you know Ev?"
njp.32101063579682	Is that an answer?
njp.32101063579682	Is there no member of the ostrich family that has claws?
njp.32101063579682	It is n't a secret, is it?
njp.32101063579682	JVhat do you mean by that?
njp.32101063579682	Know them? njp.32101063579682 Marks?"
njp.32101063579682	Might n't the blood- stains have got washed out?
njp.32101063579682	Miss Helga,said Dick soberly,"will you be- lieve that I am your friend?"
njp.32101063579682	Miss Johnston, is there any reason why you should not marry my brother?
njp.32101063579682	Miss Ravenden advised you not to marry Haynes? njp.32101063579682 Not Haynes?"
njp.32101063579682	Not a cast?
njp.32101063579682	Not alive surely?
njp.32101063579682	Now,said Haynes to Colton,"will you come up on the cliff and look at my man?"
njp.32101063579682	Of what period?
njp.32101063579682	Oh, is that it?
njp.32101063579682	On paper?
njp.32101063579682	On the Eavenden story?
njp.32101063579682	On what?
njp.32101063579682	Professor Ravenden, would it be possible for a wandering ostrich or other huge bird, escaped from some zoo, to have its home on Montauk?
njp.32101063579682	Professor, is he armed?
njp.32101063579682	Query: What relation, if any, do they bear to the death of the sheep on the beach and of the sailor Petersen?
njp.32101063579682	Question number two: Why did you give it to me?
njp.32101063579682	See anything?
njp.32101063579682	Shall we let him go?
njp.32101063579682	She and Haynes are engaged, are they not?
njp.32101063579682	So soon? njp.32101063579682 Sounded twice — or was it three times?"
njp.32101063579682	Surely the Portuguese had nothing to do with that? njp.32101063579682 That so?"
njp.32101063579682	The life- savers?
njp.32101063579682	The pteranodon?
njp.32101063579682	The skull was badly crushed?
njp.32101063579682	Then how would it get out?
njp.32101063579682	Then where are the rest?
njp.32101063579682	Then you've found evidence against the jug- gler?
njp.32101063579682	Then you've had your own shipwreck adven- ture?
njp.32101063579682	There was n't any fight or trouble about who should come first?
njp.32101063579682	They did n't say anything about a kind of rasp- ing, creaking sound?
njp.32101063579682	To you?
njp.32101063579682	To you?
njp.32101063579682	Toward whom?
njp.32101063579682	Unusual? njp.32101063579682 Up there?
njp.32101063579682	Was he to ride over?
njp.32101063579682	Was it as bad as that? njp.32101063579682 Was n't she magnificent?"
njp.32101063579682	Was the unfortunate a friend of yours?
njp.32101063579682	We'll get you to a house presently,Colton as- sured him, presenting the brandy flask to his lips,"Can you make out to climb that cliff?"
njp.32101063579682	Well?
njp.32101063579682	Well?
njp.32101063579682	Were you coming to speak to me?
njp.32101063579682	Whalley, what made that mark there?
njp.32101063579682	What are you looking for?
njp.32101063579682	What are you talking about?
njp.32101063579682	What can I do for the great Dupin, Jr.?
njp.32101063579682	What did this bird thing call itself?
njp.32101063579682	What do you make of that?
njp.32101063579682	What have the great Dupin, Jr.'s eyes discov- ered to- day?
njp.32101063579682	What if she does?
njp.32101063579682	What illness? njp.32101063579682 What infernal kind of a knot has that shoe lace tied itself into?"
njp.32101063579682	What is it you want me for?
njp.32101063579682	What is it, Petit Pere?
njp.32101063579682	What is it?
njp.32101063579682	What marks were around it?
njp.32101063579682	What the deuce is he talking about?
njp.32101063579682	What was it like?
njp.32101063579682	What was it you thought you saw?
njp.32101063579682	What was that about Haynes?
njp.32101063579682	What'd you jump for?
njp.32101063579682	What's that about tracks?
njp.32101063579682	What's that thing?
njp.32101063579682	What's the matter with you? njp.32101063579682 What's the use?"
njp.32101063579682	When did you get here, and how? njp.32101063579682 When she broke up?"
njp.32101063579682	Where are you off to?
njp.32101063579682	Where did you find it?
njp.32101063579682	Where did you hear it?
njp.32101063579682	Where the devil is that sweater?
njp.32101063579682	Where — where — is my pseudargiolus?
njp.32101063579682	Where'd you find it?
njp.32101063579682	Where's 32 THE DEATH IN THE BUOY 33 the man Miss Johnston saved? njp.32101063579682 Who else was there?"
njp.32101063579682	Who would not?
njp.32101063579682	Who, Petit Pere?
njp.32101063579682	Why did we let him get away?
njp.32101063579682	Why did you bring your brother down here?
njp.32101063579682	Why did you not tell me that Mr. Haynes knew of Everard's coming? njp.32101063579682 Why not?"
njp.32101063579682	Why should I tell you, when you will only brow- beat and contradict me? njp.32101063579682 Why should half of the rope be clean and not THE DEATH IN THE BUOY 47 the other half, then?"
njp.32101063579682	Will you come along home with us?
njp.32101063579682	Will you follow me?
njp.32101063579682	Will you tell her?
njp.32101063579682	Would it not be well,suggested the professor,"to notify the authorities?"
njp.32101063579682	Would you object to a walk of a third of a mile?
njp.32101063579682	Yes; you'll report it for your office, wo n't you?
njp.32101063579682	You can locate the spot where you saw the things, I suppose, Professor?
njp.32101063579682	You did n't make a mistake as to which was the shore end of the buoy rope?
njp.32101063579682	You did n't see anything that would give a clue?
njp.32101063579682	You did n't think of being fair toward anyone else?
njp.32101063579682	You do n't mind having it in change?
njp.32101063579682	You do n't mind rough weather?
njp.32101063579682	You jumped?
njp.32101063579682	You knew her before, did n't you?
njp.32101063579682	You know how it is between Helga and your brother?
njp.32101063579682	You mean that his kites were a sort of flying- machine?
njp.32101063579682	You mean you would have her marry Haynes without love?
njp.32101063579682	You mean, do I want to marry Helga myself? njp.32101063579682 You saw the man come in?"
njp.32101063579682	You say the sheep lay on the hard sand?
njp.32101063579682	You sent for him?
njp.32101063579682	You think he may have met his death after he landed, then?
njp.32101063579682	You up, Dicky?
njp.32101063579682	You were on board when he left?
njp.32101063579682	You zee?
njp.32101063579682	You're Harris Haynes of The New Era, are n't you?
njp.32101063579682	106 THE FLYING DEATH"Do you remember, I said to you that I wished I had a sister like you?
njp.32101063579682	38 THE FLYING DEATH"What did strike him?"
njp.32101063579682	84 THE FLYING DEATH"You think the horse heard something?"
njp.32101063579682	And do you think he loves her?"
njp.32101063579682	And do you want a receipt?"
njp.32101063579682	And how can I half thank you for your courage?"
njp.32101063579682	And"he gulped suddenly and turned upon the others so sharply that the professor jumped —"what's he met with?"
njp.32101063579682	Anything else, Petit Pere?"
njp.32101063579682	Are there any copperheads in Montauk?"
njp.32101063579682	Are you hurt?"
njp.32101063579682	Besides, I'm useful, am I not, Dolly?"
njp.32101063579682	But in that case, why should the other sailors, who must have seen it, shield him?
njp.32101063579682	But was the air so sweet?
njp.32101063579682	But what about your Portuguese?
njp.32101063579682	But why should he kill Mr. Ely, whom he never saw before, and why in the name of all that's dark should he cut the kite strings?"
njp.32101063579682	CHAPTER NINE CEOSS- PURPOSES HAS the generalissimo been disobeying his own orders?"
njp.32101063579682	Ca n't you do something?"
njp.32101063579682	Can it be that the tracks referred to by the patrol were the cloven hoof- prints of""Cloven hoofs?"
njp.32101063579682	Could he have struck on some sharp- pointed stake, and wriggled off in his death convulsions?"
njp.32101063579682	Could he?"
njp.32101063579682	Could n't you trust the loving heart of your little princess?"
njp.32101063579682	Did you hear it?"
njp.32101063579682	Did you see any marks on the sand around the dead sheep?"
njp.32101063579682	Do n't I shoo off your swarming adorers, comprising all the polyglot of Washington and most of the blue blood of Phila- delphia?
njp.32101063579682	Do you know him?"
njp.32101063579682	Do you know why?
njp.32101063579682	Do you really think he had anything to do with killing that poor sailor?
njp.32101063579682	Do you want to be shot?"
njp.32101063579682	Dr. Colton, do you believe in dreams?"
njp.32101063579682	From the empty air?"
njp.32101063579682	Go to bed, wo n't you?"
njp.32101063579682	Got a sweater to lend a poor man with a weak chest, Miss Ravenden?"
njp.32101063579682	Had Haynes solved it and met his death at the moment of success?
njp.32101063579682	Have you got a gun?"
njp.32101063579682	Haynes?"
njp.32101063579682	Haynes?"
njp.32101063579682	Haynes?"
njp.32101063579682	How about the sheep?
njp.32101063579682	How could a man such as I win out against that kind of man?"
njp.32101063579682	How easily he could have refuted!—but to what purpose, since she was unworthy?
njp.32101063579682	How long, Petit Pere?"
njp.32101063579682	How?"
njp.32101063579682	I ask you in their name if you will honour us by marrying my brother?
njp.32101063579682	If he was out last night, no one knows it,""And the dead sheep?"
njp.32101063579682	If you were a horse, and THE SENATUS 145 a string of six- foot kites came bounding along in the darkness after you, would n't you jump a cliff?"
njp.32101063579682	In this case his principle worked well, for Haynes said with tolerable civility:"You just came in this evening, did n't you?"
njp.32101063579682	Is that agreed?"
njp.32101063579682	Is that definite enough?"
njp.32101063579682	Is that strange?
njp.32101063579682	Is there a room for him?"
njp.32101063579682	Johnston, you know this neck of land?"
njp.32101063579682	Let us get back to Everard, You say there is a reason why you should not marry him?"
njp.32101063579682	May I go to the shore with you?
njp.32101063579682	May I inquire the purpose of this?
njp.32101063579682	May I venture to suggest again that there may be evidences present which you, in your natural perturbation, failed to note?"
njp.32101063579682	Mean- time,"she added, as they approached Third House,"you wo n't forget your promise, will you?"
njp.32101063579682	Miss Ravenden, can you make your way to the house alone?"
njp.32101063579682	No 134 THE FLYING DEATH As the three started away, Haynes moved up to Colton and said in a low tone:"The same wound?"
njp.32101063579682	Not until he had carefully folded this in paper did he turn to Dick Colton with the question:"What is your opinion of our problem now?"
njp.32101063579682	Now, how could the kites travel up- 208 THE FLYING DEATH wind from Ely to the plac<'"re your brother had his alarm?"
njp.32101063579682	Of marrying her?"
njp.32101063579682	Oh, Dolly, could n't you leave the family alone for my sake?
njp.32101063579682	Oh, Petit Pere, why did n't you heed me?
njp.32101063579682	Oh, and get me that fel- low's name and address, will you?"
njp.32101063579682	Over the breast of the hill toward the Sound THE TERROR BY NIGHT 123"Is that one of his kites?"
njp.32101063579682	Please, your Majesty, why?
njp.32101063579682	Shall I see if I can rustle up a lantern?"
njp.32101063579682	So plain to be see?
njp.32101063579682	So you will regard this as a professional confidence?"
njp.32101063579682	Sup- pose Bruce and Serdholm recognised this man Petersen as an enemy, and Bruce slipped a knife into him as he took him from the buoy?"
njp.32101063579682	Then,"If I may venture to impose upon your kindness,"said the man on the lawn,"will you put on some clothes and join me here?
njp.32101063579682	To that Portuguese?"
njp.32101063579682	Understand?
njp.32101063579682	Was he washed ashore this way?"
njp.32101063579682	Was it fair in you to let me be so unfair?
njp.32101063579682	We'll have a wreck party?"
njp.32101063579682	Were you aboard when this man left the schooner?"
njp.32101063579682	What are you waiting for?"
njp.32101063579682	What did you see?"
njp.32101063579682	What do you make of that?"
njp.32101063579682	What was it?"
njp.32101063579682	What was that?"
njp.32101063579682	What was the cause of death?"
njp.32101063579682	What will you do?"
njp.32101063579682	What's Bruce doing down here?"
njp.32101063579682	What's that you're writing, a report for the coroner?"
njp.32101063579682	What's this?"
njp.32101063579682	What?
njp.32101063579682	Where did you know him?"
njp.32101063579682	Who did that?"
njp.32101063579682	Who is it?"
njp.32101063579682	Why did he kill that?"
njp.32101063579682	Why did he not trust in that?"
njp.32101063579682	Why didn't — somebody — pull — them off — him?
njp.32101063579682	Why not?"
njp.32101063579682	Why other- wise should I have fled?
njp.32101063579682	Why should he kill a harmless ani- mal?"
njp.32101063579682	Why should n't she be?
njp.32101063579682	Will you go back with me now, dear?"
njp.32101063579682	Will you shake hands on the promise?"
njp.32101063579682	Will you trust me too?"
njp.32101063579682	You do n't mind if I call you that?"
njp.32101063579682	You go- ing with Dolly?"
njp.32101063579682	You know per- fectly well that whatever chance Mr. Haynes may have with Helga""Chance of what?
njp.32101063579682	You know why it hurt me so?"
njp.32101063579682	You've got something big, have n't you?"
njp.32101063579682	[ What did you think of the cry?"
njp.32101063579682	he called; and was instantly stricken with the dilemma:"What the dickens shall I say to him?"
njp.32101063579682	said the reporter in bewilderment"What is it, then?"
mdp.39015063956562	A competitor of yours in the commission agent business? mdp.39015063956562 A friendly call?"
mdp.39015063956562	Against one like that Staveley one must utilise all weapons, is n't it? — even espionage. mdp.39015063956562 Ah, he has the twang, has he?"
mdp.39015063956562	Amyl nitrite?
mdp.39015063956562	And Peter Hay suffered from high blood- pressure in any case,Wendover broke in,"so an extra flood of blood rushing to the head would finish him?
mdp.39015063956562	And are n't you going to arrest the man who killed him?
mdp.39015063956562	And how far are they to carry their diggings?
mdp.39015063956562	And if anything happened to her?
mdp.39015063956562	And if it was later in the evening? mdp.39015063956562 And if you were n't there to take it by then?"
mdp.39015063956562	And that is?
mdp.39015063956562	And that was?
mdp.39015063956562	And the Hay case?
mdp.39015063956562	And the P.M. on Staveley's body?
mdp.39015063956562	And the gentleman with no face collaborated with Aird in the actual murders? mdp.39015063956562 And the golf- blazer?
mdp.39015063956562	And the next point, inspector?
mdp.39015063956562	And then?
mdp.39015063956562	And what do you expect to find there?
mdp.39015063956562	And what do you propose to do about poor old Peter Hay? mdp.39015063956562 And what earthly good would that be?"
mdp.39015063956562	And yet you assert that he was murdered?
mdp.39015063956562	And you explain his going — how?
mdp.39015063956562	And you had a talk with this fellow, had you?
mdp.39015063956562	And you'll say nothing till he comes?
mdp.39015063956562	And, of course, the murderers who are neither stu- pid nor excitable are the ones who never get caught, eh?
mdp.39015063956562	Anybody claim him?
mdp.39015063956562	Anything else you can think of that might be use- ful?
mdp.39015063956562	Anything else, Miss Fordingbridge?
mdp.39015063956562	Anything in the way of information you need from the village?
mdp.39015063956562	Anything more about him that you can remember?
mdp.39015063956562	Anything more?
mdp.39015063956562	Anything more?
mdp.39015063956562	Are you by any chance Mr. Fordingbridge's lawyer?
mdp.39015063956562	Are you really a chief constable?
mdp.39015063956562	Are you sure there's no mistake, Paul?
mdp.39015063956562	Are you thinking of bringing a photographer up here to take a souvenir picture?
mdp.39015063956562	Are you training for a housemaid's place? mdp.39015063956562 Armadale?
mdp.39015063956562	Australia, sir? mdp.39015063956562 But seriously, Clinton, what do you expect to find?"
mdp.39015063956562	But what is this about the length of my pace?
mdp.39015063956562	But would you go to the extra trouble yourself, inspector, if the case happened to be as I've stated it? mdp.39015063956562 But you do n't suppose Mrs. Fleetwood will let you take her fingerprints if they're going to tell against her, do you?"
mdp.39015063956562	Ca n't you see its importance?
mdp.39015063956562	Can I see you? mdp.39015063956562 Can you tell me anything about Staveley's move- ments last night?"
mdp.39015063956562	Can you tell me anything about the present manage- ment of the thing? mdp.39015063956562 Candles, sir?"
mdp.39015063956562	Card- index, sir? mdp.39015063956562 Care to step off here, squire?
mdp.39015063956562	Certainly not until I was sure of my ground, you understand?
mdp.39015063956562	Derek Fordingbridge's diary, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	Did he manage to work off any of his special expertise on you this morning?
mdp.39015063956562	Did n't I tell you that he was horribly disfigured? mdp.39015063956562 Did n't you get any references from an earlier employer?"
mdp.39015063956562	Did she see anyone on the road except Cargill?
mdp.39015063956562	Did you ever notice, then, that it's easier to talk to him if he's sitting up in bed and not lying down?
mdp.39015063956562	Did you know if Staveley had gone out to meet anyone last night?
mdp.39015063956562	Did you recognise his voice?
mdp.39015063956562	Did you see anyone except Staveley between the hotel and the rock, either going or coming?
mdp.39015063956562	Did you see anything else?
mdp.39015063956562	Did you turn back to the hotel for anything?
mdp.39015063956562	Do n't you see the slip?
mdp.39015063956562	Do n't you see, inspector? mdp.39015063956562 Do you think I ca n't recognise my own nephew, when he's able to tell me all sorts of things that only we in the family could know?"
mdp.39015063956562	Does n't that footprint seem a bit familiar, inspec- tor? mdp.39015063956562 Does that mean one shot or several?"
mdp.39015063956562	Ever been in France, inspector?
mdp.39015063956562	Ever heard of hydrophobia? mdp.39015063956562 Finished?"
mdp.39015063956562	Finished?
mdp.39015063956562	Gone? mdp.39015063956562 Got a piece of chalk in your pocket, inspector?"
mdp.39015063956562	Got enough to read?
mdp.39015063956562	Grumpy, sir? mdp.39015063956562 Half- past eight by summer time then?"
mdp.39015063956562	Has he? mdp.39015063956562 Has my brother got off?"
mdp.39015063956562	Have n't you CargilPs own evi- dence that he knows nobody hereabouts except Derek Fordingbridge? mdp.39015063956562 Have you any questions to ask, in- spector?"
mdp.39015063956562	Have you see Cressida and Stanley this morning? mdp.39015063956562 Have you something up your sleeve, sir?"
mdp.39015063956562	Hay?
mdp.39015063956562	He had books, then? mdp.39015063956562 He was a tidy man, I see?"
mdp.39015063956562	He's been away, then?
mdp.39015063956562	His name? mdp.39015063956562 How do you know about it?"
mdp.39015063956562	How do you make that out?
mdp.39015063956562	How was I to know that until you told me?
mdp.39015063956562	How would this fit, then?
mdp.39015063956562	How's the strain, squire?
mdp.39015063956562	How?
mdp.39015063956562	I suppose I may keep this? mdp.39015063956562 I suppose Peter Hay kept the keys of Foxhills — those that he needed, at any rate — somewhere handy?"
mdp.39015063956562	I suppose you merely wish to have a general look round?
mdp.39015063956562	I was much agitated, you understand? mdp.39015063956562 In this case, I reveal nothing which you ignore?
mdp.39015063956562	Indeed? mdp.39015063956562 Is it really necessary to go as far as this?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that absolutely all, squire? mdp.39015063956562 Is that all we can do for you?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that all you can tell us about him?
mdp.39015063956562	Is that what you mean?
mdp.39015063956562	Is that where the murder happened?
mdp.39015063956562	Is that you, uncle?
mdp.39015063956562	Is there anything else you'd like to know?
mdp.39015063956562	Is there anything more that you'd care to see?
mdp.39015063956562	Jack what?
mdp.39015063956562	Just have a look at it, squire, will you? mdp.39015063956562 Lost his memory, perhaps?"
mdp.39015063956562	Me? mdp.39015063956562 Me?
mdp.39015063956562	Me? mdp.39015063956562 Meaning to check up my story?"
mdp.39015063956562	Meeting anyone? mdp.39015063956562 More than one man, then?"
mdp.39015063956562	Need you advertise yourself quite so much in that quarter, Clinton?
mdp.39015063956562	Nicholas Staveley? mdp.39015063956562 No chalk, you said, inspector?"
mdp.39015063956562	Nobody's come along, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956562	Not the sort of man to have a bad enemy, then?
mdp.39015063956562	Nothing further, then? mdp.39015063956562 Now do you see the ingenuity of my plan?
mdp.39015063956562	Now, sup- pose your nephew's death were proved, who are the next heirs? mdp.39015063956562 Now, what about the evidence?
mdp.39015063956562	Now, what the devil does Clinton see in that vamp?
mdp.39015063956562	Now, why the deuce does one say'foreigner'as soon as one sees her?
mdp.39015063956562	Of course you'll drop this absurd idea of letting Foxhills now, Paul?
mdp.39015063956562	Oh, you saw it, did you?
mdp.39015063956562	On the police charge- sheet, you mean?
mdp.39015063956562	Pere Francois not mentioned in the classics? mdp.39015063956562 Pere Francois?
mdp.39015063956562	Perhaps Mrs. Fleetwood could tell us what she knows about this affair?
mdp.39015063956562	Reminds one a bit of Sam Lloyd's'Get off the Earth'puzzle, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	Satisfied, inspector?
mdp.39015063956562	See anything else, inspector? mdp.39015063956562 See anything there?"
mdp.39015063956562	Shall we take the body into the cottage and go over it there?
mdp.39015063956562	Sir Clinton Driffield? mdp.39015063956562 Smell anything peculiar, squire?"
mdp.39015063956562	Snaffled my boat, have you, inspector? mdp.39015063956562 So she was Staveley's visitor last night?"
mdp.39015063956562	So that was why you asked about the dew last night?
mdp.39015063956562	So that's all the thanks you give Derek for suffering so horribly for us all in the war?
mdp.39015063956562	So that's what you were looking for all the time?
mdp.39015063956562	So that's where the stuff came from that killed Peter Hay?
mdp.39015063956562	So that's your notion of the motive, is it?
mdp.39015063956562	So you came away, and he went back into the cottage?
mdp.39015063956562	So you did n't fire a shot from behind the groyne, by any chance?
mdp.39015063956562	So you infer?
mdp.39015063956562	So you say you know nothing about him?
mdp.39015063956562	So you think he was tied up that way, Clinton, be- cause they wanted to talk to him; and they wanted to see his face clearly while they talked?
mdp.39015063956562	Some more of their confounded mummery? mdp.39015063956562 Somebody spying on the people on the rock?"
mdp.39015063956562	Staveley, is it?
mdp.39015063956562	Staveley? mdp.39015063956562 Stiff with strangers, or anything like that?
mdp.39015063956562	Still got his old squirrel?
mdp.39015063956562	Suppose we go up to the house?
mdp.39015063956562	Sure he was dead?
mdp.39015063956562	That dates the time when they put the body down, you think?
mdp.39015063956562	That reminds me, had Staveley his coat on — his overcoat, I mean — or was he carrying it over his arm when you met him at the rock?
mdp.39015063956562	That stuff they use for covering cuts — New- Skin, is n't it? mdp.39015063956562 That would mean you left the rock very shortly before eleven o'clock, then?"
mdp.39015063956562	Then how do you account for her being the wife of Mr. Stanley Fleetwood?
mdp.39015063956562	Then it's reasonable to look to the Foxhills affairs for motives, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	Then what was he tied up to?
mdp.39015063956562	Then what's the point?
mdp.39015063956562	Then you think that when they'd done with him they dosed him with this stuff and gave him an apoplec- tic stroke, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	Then, as Mrs. Fleetwood is n't stupid,he said frigidly,"you're assuming that she lost her head under some strong provocation?"
mdp.39015063956562	There's no one else? mdp.39015063956562 They used surgical bandages because they hoped to leave no marks on the skin, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956562	Things have been left just as they were, I suppose?
mdp.39015063956562	Things seem to point that way, do n't they?
mdp.39015063956562	Three of you?
mdp.39015063956562	Un seul coup de feu?
mdp.39015063956562	Unnecessary? mdp.39015063956562 Very good of you to give us your help, Mr.?"
mdp.39015063956562	Was he a commission agent too?
mdp.39015063956562	Was he the brains of the show?
mdp.39015063956562	Was that your own brains, squire, or a tip from the classic? mdp.39015063956562 Well, have you carried out your instructions?"
mdp.39015063956562	Well, inspector, what is it?
mdp.39015063956562	Well, it's always a possibility, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	Well, sir,he conceded at last,"if you think I'm likely to bungle something because I do n't know what it is, why not give me a hint?"
mdp.39015063956562	Well, what better can you suggest?
mdp.39015063956562	Well, what happened after the Wild West broke loose on the beach?
mdp.39015063956562	Well, what next?
mdp.39015063956562	Were you really? mdp.39015063956562 What about the body?"
mdp.39015063956562	What about the fishermen?
mdp.39015063956562	What about this friend of Staveley's? mdp.39015063956562 What are you after with all this spade- work?"
mdp.39015063956562	What are you looking for, Clinton, damn it? mdp.39015063956562 What did you know about Staveley?"
mdp.39015063956562	What do you make of it all, squire, in the light of the classics?
mdp.39015063956562	What do you make of it, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	What do you mean, Mr. Wendover? mdp.39015063956562 What do you propose then, inspector?"
mdp.39015063956562	What happens after that? mdp.39015063956562 What is it that you desire to know?"
mdp.39015063956562	What is it?
mdp.39015063956562	What made you so ready with gate- bars, Clinton?
mdp.39015063956562	What makes you come here with inquiries? mdp.39015063956562 What makes you come to us?"
mdp.39015063956562	What next, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	What on earth do you do that for?
mdp.39015063956562	What part did this thing play?
mdp.39015063956562	What room is this?
mdp.39015063956562	What size of shoe do you wear, madame?
mdp.39015063956562	What sort of a man was he?
mdp.39015063956562	What sort of man was Peter Hay? mdp.39015063956562 What sort of pistol was it?"
mdp.39015063956562	What time did you leave him on the rock?
mdp.39015063956562	What was he doing down here?
mdp.39015063956562	What was his name?
mdp.39015063956562	What's that got to do with it?
mdp.39015063956562	What's that?
mdp.39015063956562	What's that?
mdp.39015063956562	What's the big thing in the Foxhills group about which they might come to loggerheads? mdp.39015063956562 What's the number?"
mdp.39015063956562	What's this?
mdp.39015063956562	When did Staveley go out?
mdp.39015063956562	When did you hear about the murder?
mdp.39015063956562	When do you think the death took place?
mdp.39015063956562	When'll your lawyer be here?' mdp.39015063956562 Who was the third man?"
mdp.39015063956562	Who's in your camps?
mdp.39015063956562	Who's your French friend, Clinton?
mdp.39015063956562	Who? mdp.39015063956562 Why did n't you tell him he was a day after the fair?"
mdp.39015063956562	Why should I? mdp.39015063956562 Wo n't you sit down?"
mdp.39015063956562	Would it convince you if I said that I'd seen Derek?
mdp.39015063956562	Would n't that account for it? mdp.39015063956562 Would you lend me one of your shoes for a moment, madame?"
mdp.39015063956562	Would you like to bet on it, squire?
mdp.39015063956562	Would you mind getting aboard?
mdp.39015063956562	Would you mind giving me any orders you want carried out immediately, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	Would you mind going into Lynden Sands village for me? mdp.39015063956562 Yes?"
mdp.39015063956562	You Sir Clinton Driffield, sir? mdp.39015063956562 You ca n't throw any light on this business?"
mdp.39015063956562	You did n't see anything that suggested poison, did you?
mdp.39015063956562	You do n't know of anyone with a grudge against Hay?
mdp.39015063956562	You had n't met him before?
mdp.39015063956562	You have n't a second Colt pistol, have you?
mdp.39015063956562	You mean that Billingford could n't tell the in- spector whether there was a single shot or a pair?
mdp.39015063956562	You mean the difference between the cab- horse and the stepper?
mdp.39015063956562	You mean the pseudo- Derek, I suppose? mdp.39015063956562 You mean, sir?"
mdp.39015063956562	You number eighty- nine, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	You recognise that?
mdp.39015063956562	You remember I was down bathing this morning before breakfast? mdp.39015063956562 You said you'd definite evidence to support this notion of yours, did n't you?
mdp.39015063956562	You saw him here, last night? mdp.39015063956562 You see what these things point to?"
mdp.39015063956562	You think it's merely apoplexy, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	You think not, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	You think so? mdp.39015063956562 You think so?"
mdp.39015063956562	You think you've only got to say'Yes'now; then, when it comes to the point, you'll turn on us and give the show away? mdp.39015063956562 You want to know when he went out last night?"
mdp.39015063956562	You'll take your own car? mdp.39015063956562 You're sure it is n't a mare's nest then?"
mdp.39015063956562	You're trying to let Foxhills — our old house? mdp.39015063956562 122 MYSTERY AT LYNDEN SANDSDo you mean a commercial traveller?"

mdp.39015063956562	A mental blank, what?
mdp.39015063956562	Agree to that, inspector?"
mdp.39015063956562	Agree to that?"
mdp.39015063956562	All that was finished, you understand?"
mdp.39015063956562	Always pleased to play'Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?'
mdp.39015063956562	Am I correct?"
mdp.39015063956562	And I suppose I can get hold of this youngster — Colby's his name, is n't it?—any time I need him?"
mdp.39015063956562	And now, what about pick- ing up a couple of men and making up a table of bridge?"
mdp.39015063956562	And that Staveley had been very little obliging — unkind, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	And the chauffeur demanded:'Have you killed him?'
mdp.39015063956562	And these are: First, why did that very solid and unimaginative Mr. Paul Fordingbridge take to romping with his — presumably — grown- up pals?
mdp.39015063956562	And to that the chauffeur made the response in anger:'It's damn well likely, is n't it?'
mdp.39015063956562	And was n't the genie going to kill a man — same as a pistol cartridge might do?
mdp.39015063956562	And what are the results?"

mdp.39015063956562	And what made them do it?
mdp.39015063956562	And, shall we say, fascinating?
mdp.39015063956562	Any objections to telling me?
mdp.39015063956562	Any reply to that, sir?"
mdp.39015063956562	Anything else?"
mdp.39015063956562	Anything further happen?"

mdp.39015063956562	Anything more?"
mdp.39015063956562	Anything you can think of?"
mdp.39015063956562	Are you listening, Jay?"
mdp.39015063956562	Are you thinking about the possibility of Hay's death being due to exposure?"
mdp.39015063956562	Asthma?
mdp.39015063956562	Bad digestion?
mdp.39015063956562	Besides, why spoil his pleasure for him?
mdp.39015063956562	Billingford?"
mdp.39015063956562	But I suppose Peter's to go at a week's notice?
mdp.39015063956562	But it leaves the story a bit bare, does n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	But it's not likely I'd tell you much about that, is it?"
mdp.39015063956562	But the woman stopped him and demanded:'Are n't you going down to look at him — see if anything can be done?'
mdp.39015063956562	But what does he expect to get out of her?
mdp.39015063956562	But what makes you think there's anything wrong at Foxhills?
mdp.39015063956562	But what's your objection?"
mdp.39015063956562	But who told you that Peter Hay bought them and put them there?"
mdp.39015063956562	By the way, what is the flaw?"
mdp.39015063956562	By the way, you're a fisherman, are n't you?
mdp.39015063956562	By the way,"he added,"did you notice if there was a heavy dew last night?

mdp.39015063956562	Calder?"
mdp.39015063956562	Can I see it?"
mdp.39015063956562	Can you give us something to go on before we start to look into it up there?"
mdp.39015063956562	Can you hurry?"
mdp.39015063956562	Can you see anything missing from it?"

mdp.39015063956562	Have you a tape- measure, inspector?
mdp.39015063956562	Have you finished with that jotting of yours, inspector?
mdp.39015063956562	He forgot that some of you Parisians have a differ- ent gait — more restrained, more finished, shall we say?"
mdp.39015063956562	He is n't the missing heir by any chance, is he?"
mdp.39015063956562	He reflected for a moment, then he asked:"You recognised his face, of course?"
mdp.39015063956562	He seems to have lived very simply — no expenses to speak of?"
mdp.39015063956562	He was only caretaker here, you understand?
mdp.39015063956562	He'd just have met me in his shirt- sleeves as he used to meet you?

mdp.39015063956562	How do you get round that difficulty?"
mdp.39015063956562	I avoided the automobile, you understand?
mdp.39015063956562	I believed him well dead, you under- stand?
mdp.39015063956562	I do n't want to overburden you, but what about the Peter Hay case?
mdp.39015063956562	I had the idea of an accident in my head, you understand?
mdp.39015063956562	I mean, what did you yourself do?"
mdp.39015063956562	I meant to revive him if he was alive, you see?
mdp.39015063956562	I say, who is it?"
mdp.39015063956562	I sup- pose you've some authority?
mdp.39015063956562	I suppose that's the rock you were speaking about?"
mdp.39015063956562	I suppose the coroner will want a look in?"
mdp.39015063956562	I suppose we were right in the main points, inspector?"
mdp.39015063956562	I suppose you're staying on for a while at Lynden Sands?"
mdp.39015063956562	I told you the plain truth; and if you take the wrong meaning out of my words, whose blame is it?
mdp.39015063956562	I was Odette Pascal then, a young girl, an honest girl — what you English call straight, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	I was exact — on time, you say, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	If I'd wanted a double- bedded room with a wasp as a room- mate, I would have asked for it when we booked, would n't I?
mdp.39015063956562	If they had pumped Staveley dry of his information, and had got notes of it all on that card- index, what further need had they for friend Nicholas?
mdp.39015063956562	If you let Foxhills, it wo n't need a care- taker; and I suppose you'll turn poor Peter adrift?
mdp.39015063956562	In a dream, I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015063956562	In a place this size?
mdp.39015063956562	Ingenious, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	Is it just a freak?
mdp.39015063956562	Is n't that so, squire?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that impossible, so far?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that impossible?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that it, sir?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that what you mean?"
mdp.39015063956562	Is that what you're after, Clinton?"
mdp.39015063956562	It is 9 p. m., is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956562	It is a mere formality, that; but we may need you as a witness in the case, you under- stand?"
mdp.39015063956562	It was a great disappointment that I had attained to no arrangement at that moment, I had hoped for something better, is n't it?
mdp.39015063956562	It was later that I became Aline Laurent- Desrousseaux, you understand?
mdp.39015063956562	It's valuable, is n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	Just measure it, will you?"
mdp.39015063956562	Just when Derek has come back?"
mdp.39015063956562	Know anything about him?
mdp.39015063956562	Know much about it?
mdp.39015063956562	Leg all right now?"
mdp.39015063956562	Let's draw a veil, eh?"
mdp.39015063956562	May I ask?"
mdp.39015063956562	No fuss?"
mdp.39015063956562	No?
mdp.39015063956562	No?
mdp.39015063956562	Now what do you make of that?"
mdp.39015063956562	Now what do you propose to do?"
mdp.39015063956562	Now where did he keep his money — his loose cash?"
mdp.39015063956562	Now, I think, the chances are that you've come round to the in- spector's view, squire?"
mdp.39015063956562	Now, can you see anything else that's gone a- missing from here?"
mdp.39015063956562	Now, do you understand the state of affairs, Jay?
mdp.39015063956562	Now, quite unofficially, have you any information on the point, or can you make a guess as to the state of affairs?
mdp.39015063956562	Now, what happened after Mrs. Fleetwood's pistol went off?
mdp.39015063956562	Now, what is it that you want to know?"
mdp.39015063956562	Of course the clerk said he was sorry — but what good does that do?
mdp.39015063956562	Or are you a reporter?"
mdp.39015063956562	Or are you falling into senile decay?
mdp.39015063956562	Or did he give you any message for me?"
mdp.39015063956562	Or do you see anything else of any interest?"
mdp.39015063956562	Or, if I may put it compendiously, what's it all about?
mdp.39015063956562	POLICE AT THE CARETAKER'S 43"Suffer from rheumatism, constable?
mdp.39015063956562	Perhaps you could suggest some reason for their removal from Foxhills?"
mdp.39015063956562	Polite in his manners, you said?"
mdp.39015063956562	Rheuma- tism, or something like that?"
mdp.39015063956562	Second, why did n't he return home after these little games?
mdp.39015063956562	See him?
mdp.39015063956562	See it now?"
mdp.39015063956562	See it?"
mdp.39015063956562	See?"
mdp.39015063956562	Shall I repeat it, in case you've missed any of the points?
mdp.39015063956562	Shall I'phone up and ask if you can see her?
mdp.39015063956562	So I said good- bye to them""Who was there?"
mdp.39015063956562	So that excludes the notion that he vanished completely, without any ex- traneous assistance, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063956562	So that was it, Sir Clinton?"
mdp.39015063956562	Some whiskey, if he had any?"
mdp.39015063956562	Sounds sordid, does n't it, after your spangled imaginings?
mdp.39015063956562	Staveley and a woman, you under- stand?
mdp.39015063956562	Staveley, is it?
mdp.39015063956562	Staveley?
mdp.39015063956562	Staveley?
mdp.39015063956562	Suppose I'd blurted out my inference, and sent that girl to her death by my carelessness, how should I be feeling at this moment?
mdp.39015063956562	Suppose I'd come wandering in here, would he have been grumpy when he came to turn me out?"
mdp.39015063956562	Suppose we let Sir Clinton do the talking at this inter- view?
mdp.39015063956562	Supposing that Miss Fordingbridge had n't come up here to- day, do you think we'd have discovered that the diary was missing at all?"
mdp.39015063956562	THE DIARY 73"Could you give me a list of them?"
mdp.39015063956562	THE FORDINGBRIDGE MYSTERY 20<)"Where's the rest of Fordingbridge's track?"
mdp.39015063956562	THE SECOND CARTRIDGE- CASE 149"Well, what do you make of it all?"
mdp.39015063956562	That it?"
mdp.39015063956562	That looks like a rather small girl with a neat foot, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063956562	That would be a good enough motive, would n't it?"
mdp.39015063956562	That's vital, you understand?
mdp.39015063956562	The body's lying quite naturally, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063956562	Then would you mind initialling it, just in case we need it for reference later on?"
mdp.39015063956562	Then, all at once, I heard the report of a firearm down at the rock""A single shot?"
mdp.39015063956562	Then, from be- hind the hull, Aird stole out and did le coup du Pere Francois""What's that?"
mdp.39015063956562	Then, seeing that his scepticism had again roused his sister's temper, he added hastily:"By the way, how's Peter keeping?
mdp.39015063956562	Then, when he does reappear, why does n't he come to me first of all?
mdp.39015063956562	Third, where is he now?
mdp.39015063956562	This is Mr. Fordingbridge's writing, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956562	Understand?"
mdp.39015063956562	Was it a man or a woman?"
mdp.39015063956562	Was it possible that Paul Fordingbridge had tried to kill two birds with one stone in the last crime?
mdp.39015063956562	Well, how do you propose to prove that Mrs. Fleetwood was there at all last night?"
mdp.39015063956562	Well, if the cats up the tree insist on making a noise like a murderer, you ca n't blame him, can you?"
mdp.39015063956562	Wendover THE FORDINGBRIDGE MYSTERY 215 odds against that happening by accident are a bit too heavy for probability, are n't they?"
mdp.39015063956562	What about Staveley's resuscitation after his being killed in the war?
mdp.39015063956562	What about a general survey first of all?
mdp.39015063956562	What about it?
mdp.39015063956562	What about the business in hand?
mdp.39015063956562	What are you trying to do?"
mdp.39015063956562	What could he be doing out at night in a place like Lynden Sands, where there's nothing to do and where he has n't any reason for staying away?
mdp.39015063956562	What could he think, except that his wife had shot Staveley?
mdp.39015063956562	What did he do with himself all day?"
mdp.39015063956562	What did you see in it all, squire?"
mdp.39015063956562	What do you think about it?
mdp.39015063956562	What do you think of it, Sir Clinton?"
mdp.39015063956562	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063956562	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063956562	What happened next, please?"
mdp.39015063956562	What is there behind Mr. Fordingbridge's evident annoyance?
mdp.39015063956562	What the devil can he be wanting?"
mdp.39015063956562	What was he doing in that line if he had an estate?"
mdp.39015063956562	What were they after?"
mdp.39015063956562	What would happen?
mdp.39015063956562	What's the good of going further?
mdp.39015063956562	What's the use in com- ing to Lynden Sands at all, if we do n't stay at our own house and get privacy at least?"
mdp.39015063956562	What's to be done?'
mdp.39015063956562	What's wanted?
mdp.39015063956562	When does Mrs. Fleetwood expect her lawyer to turn up?"
mdp.39015063956562	When he went away, did n't I keep his rooms in order, just as he left them?
mdp.39015063956562	Where did he go to?"
mdp.39015063956562	Where was it?"
mdp.39015063956562	Where would any of us be if we had our characters pawed over?
mdp.39015063956562	Which chair would he give me?"
mdp.39015063956562	Who put it on for you?"
mdp.39015063956562	Why did she leave the hotel to- night?"
mdp.39015063956562	Why has n't he turned up before now?
mdp.39015063956562	Why should Mrs. Fleetwood want to shoot a total stranger?
mdp.39015063956562	Why was that?"
mdp.39015063956562	Why?
mdp.39015063956562	Why?"
mdp.39015063956562	Will you be ready again in half an hour or so?"
mdp.39015063956562	Would it be too much to ask you to say it — whatever it is — and then let me read my paper com- fortably?
mdp.39015063956562	Would n't that have been a tight corner for Master Billingford?
mdp.39015063956562	Would n't you like to see it at home?"
mdp.39015063956562	Would that be more or less what you'd expect to see here, con- stable?"
mdp.39015063956562	Would there be any objection to my taking them away, sir?
mdp.39015063956562	Would you mind showing us round the place?
mdp.39015063956562	You could n't expect me to stand off at a distance, could you?
mdp.39015063956562	You do n't like the way things are trending?
mdp.39015063956562	You have a power of attorney, I believe; but I suppose you leave matters very much in the hands of lawyers?"
mdp.39015063956562	You heard me pumping the constable, did n't you?
mdp.39015063956562	You know what a drunken man's like?
mdp.39015063956562	You mean the man who told me about the boat being wanted?
mdp.39015063956562	You remem- ber the contused wound there?
mdp.39015063956562	You see that part clearly enough, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956562	You see that, squire?
mdp.39015063956562	You see the point?
mdp.39015063956562	You understand what I mean?"
mdp.39015063956562	You understand?
mdp.39015063956562	You wanted to know if Peter Hay ever used that as a drug?
mdp.39015063956562	You'll have to take the cages too, of course?"
mdp.39015063956562	You'll not deny that, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063956562	You're not suggesting that he should stay there, are you?
mdp.39015063956562	You're not suggesting that she's a homicidal maniac, are you?"
mdp.39015063956562	You're think- ing of amyl nitrite — the stuff asthmatics inhale when they get a bad turn?
mdp.39015063956562	Young Fleetwood, for instance, could n't step in front of you owing to his having mar- ried your niece?"
mdp.39015063956562	Your nephew owns it at present?"
mdp.39015063956562	and all the rest of the gruesome ceremonial?
njp.32101068585999	100 THE DARROW ENIGMA “ For God's sake, what has happened? ” I cried, rush- ing forward to seize her in my arms.
njp.32101068585999	334 3923 165, 328 THE DARROW ENIGMA CHAPTER I What shall we say when Dream- Pictures leave their frames of night and push us from the waking world?
njp.32101068585999	6 No. ” “ Did he play cards?"
njp.32101068585999	? ” I was indeed surprised, but I said nothing.
njp.32101068585999	Am I substantially correct in all this?
njp.32101068585999	Among the pile was one by Alexander Wynter Blyth entitled, “ Poisons, Their Effects and Detection. ” Did you notice that?
njp.32101068585999	And that person is?
njp.32101068585999	And the grounds about the house?
njp.32101068585999	And you would have me profit by her sacri- fice?
njp.32101068585999	Anything else?
njp.32101068585999	Are there not psychological truths of immensely greater im- portance?
njp.32101068585999	Are you familiar with the house in which Mr. Darrow was murdered?
njp.32101068585999	Are you sure Ragobah failed?
njp.32101068585999	As I have already suggested, a Chinaman might have a long nail on the little finger, but he would also have the other nails long, would n't he?
njp.32101068585999	But after you became suspicious of M. Latour, did you not then look up the slips, find this work, and read it?
njp.32101068585999	But hold on, where did I get side- tracked?
njp.32101068585999	But how should I further continue this process of exclu- sion?
njp.32101068585999	But if I should?
njp.32101068585999	But if it over- throw those conclusions for which I have given my life?'
njp.32101068585999	Ca n't you see?
njp.32101068585999	Can anyone suggest anything further? ” And he paused for a reply.
njp.32101068585999	Can you not see that any injury I may have done you was purely in self- defence?
njp.32101068585999	Cleopatra'?
njp.32101068585999	Did I not understand, ” he said to Maitland in an undertone, “ that there is a suspicion of foul play?"
njp.32101068585999	Did John Darrow's death result from a poisoned wound made by the instrument you have described?
njp.32101068585999	Did Mr. Darrow himself give the blow?
njp.32101068585999	Did any person give it?
njp.32101068585999	Did he ever call at your rooms?
njp.32101068585999	Did he remember the gentleman who used to come there?
njp.32101068585999	Did she live happily with Ragobah?
njp.32101068585999	Did she not tell us both that she should keep her covenant with her father though it meant for her a fate worse than death?
njp.32101068585999	Did you care- fully read the copies of the various policies when interrogating the companies insuring Mr. Darrow? ” “ Hardly, ” Osborne replied.
njp.32101068585999	Did you ever know one to save himself from falling by thrusting out a closed hand?
njp.32101068585999	Did you not even examine the eastern side of the house?
njp.32101068585999	Did you not look at any of them?
njp.32101068585999	Did you strike the blow which caused Mr. Dar- row's death?
njp.32101068585999	Did you suspect who her assailant really was?
njp.32101068585999	Did you train a little Capucin monkey to strike this blow?
njp.32101068585999	Do I not speak the truth?
njp.32101068585999	Do n't you suppose I know you love Gwen Darrow?
njp.32101068585999	Do you ever play cards?
njp.32101068585999	Do you know its nature?
njp.32101068585999	Do you mean to enter them?
njp.32101068585999	Do you not know that there are no two thumbs in the world which are capable of making indistinguishable marks? ” I was not aware of this.
njp.32101068585999	Do you not now see why I objected to having anyone leave the room?
njp.32101068585999	Do you not see how untenable your idea is?
njp.32101068585999	Do you play chess?"
njp.32101068585999	Do you play croquet? ” He replied that he was considered something of an expert in that line.
njp.32101068585999	Do you play for money?
njp.32101068585999	Do you propose to tell us anything of your own accord, or must we drag it out of you piecemeal?
njp.32101068585999	Do you sufficiently understand chemistry to use these terms with accuracy?
njp.32101068585999	Do you think I sell secret of friend?
njp.32101068585999	Do you think I would be guilty of making traffic of her gratitude?
njp.32101068585999	Do you think I would sue for her hand?
njp.32101068585999	Does that help matters any?
njp.32101068585999	Does the time seem too short?
njp.32101068585999	Every- thing happened as I planned — what ails the Sahib?
njp.32101068585999	Fool, can you not see how powerless you are?
njp.32101068585999	Furthermore, he might use the boards to con- ceal the prints of his telltale foot- gear; but why should he not have put on shoes of the ordinary type?
njp.32101068585999	Had I not seriously thought of taking my own life?
njp.32101068585999	Had you any other reason?
njp.32101068585999	Has Ragobah any physical peculiarities?
njp.32101068585999	Has he always lived in Bombay?
njp.32101068585999	Has he the habit of biting his finger nails?
njp.32101068585999	Has she not her father's command to we d me if I but ask her, even as she would have we d that scoundrel, Godin, had things gone as he planned them?
njp.32101068585999	Have I been a kind father to you, Gwen?
njp.32101068585999	Have I not proved my uselessness?
njp.32101068585999	Have we your permission to do so? ” For a moment Gwen did not answer.
njp.32101068585999	Have you any idea why he cherishes this malice?
njp.32101068585999	Have you ever noticed how acute the mind is for trifles and slight incongruities when under the severe tension of such a shock as we had experienced?
njp.32101068585999	Have you long known that M. Godin was at work upon this case?
njp.32101068585999	Have you not said you are respon- sible for his murder?
njp.32101068585999	Have you reason to believe M. Latour ever saw you prior to the day of his arrest?
njp.32101068585999	He is a friend of yours, you say?
njp.32101068585999	He opened it carelessly, and in a moment read the following line: “ I am dying, sweetheart, dying. ” “ Does n't that sound familiar?
njp.32101068585999	How do you account for it, sis? ” Alice's answer was somewhat enigmatical and did n't give me the information I sought.
njp.32101068585999	How is it that you find the smallest speck of dust, yet miss the mountain?
njp.32101068585999	How long have you been at work on this case?
njp.32101068585999	How long have you known him?
njp.32101068585999	How long have you known him?
njp.32101068585999	How old are you? ” “ Twenty- two. ” “ Tell me your relations with your father. ” “ We were most constant companions.
njp.32101068585999	I knew she would see that everything was securely fastened before she went away, and so, when “ AND HOW DID YOU INTEND TO KILL HIM?
njp.32101068585999	I thought I noticed a tremor run through his frame, as drawing her face down to his, he said, kissing her, “ Me?
njp.32101068585999	I wonder where she is now?
njp.32101068585999	If I succeed in naming him will you acknowl- edge it?
njp.32101068585999	If so, why did he not name them?—but, stay — how do we know that he did not?
njp.32101068585999	In view of all these facts what must they conclude?
njp.32101068585999	In what particulars was this hypodermic syringe of special construction?
njp.32101068585999	Is it not more accurate in drawing, more subtle in gradation than the less me- chanical picture?
njp.32101068585999	Is it not so?
njp.32101068585999	Is not this a fairly correct description of what occurred?
njp.32101068585999	Is the heart less hungry because it has been starved?
njp.32101068585999	Is the work of the camera unreal?
njp.32101068585999	Is there any possibility of this crime having been com- mitted by a woman?'
njp.32101068585999	Is this nothing for a sensi- tive nature like hers?
njp.32101068585999	It is for that I hate you, and for that you die! ” “ What have I done? ” I asked.
njp.32101068585999	John has already gone- one tomb shall inclose both our bodies — how could it have been better?"
njp.32101068585999	Maitland started a little as he read the title, and then said lightly: “ Do you suppose, Doc, that woman's mummy is in existence?
njp.32101068585999	Maitland was very much impressed by some verse Gwen had written ev es THE DARROW ENIGMA 201 Simoom blew ever hot within the sail Of her desire?
njp.32101068585999	May we not change the subject?"
njp.32101068585999	Might not the sound she had heard, and the movement she had felt, both be explained by an open window?
njp.32101068585999	Might you not have used potassium cyanide or prussiate of potash?
njp.32101068585999	More than once I saw him glance questioningly at Gwen with a look which said plainly enough: “ What is the mean- ing of this remarkable change?
njp.32101068585999	Now, if I believed in transmigration of souls — do you see any mark of Antony about me?
njp.32101068585999	Or if the rudder of Her will did lean as many ways as trampled straws, And own as little worth?
njp.32101068585999	Ought we to fasten in thy memory the fangs Of unalloyed distrust?
njp.32101068585999	Should you say it was between the 1st and 15th of March?
njp.32101068585999	Surely you examined them?
njp.32101068585999	THE DARROW ENIGMA 247 Why, of late, does he always come when I am away?
njp.32101068585999	THE DARROW ENIGMA 37 “ Is this indeed so serious as I have been told? ” he asked, after his greeting.
njp.32101068585999	The essential point is: Where is the instrument that inflicted the wound? ” “ Might it not be buried in the flesh?
njp.32101068585999	The essential point is: Where is the instrument that inflicted the wound? ” “ Might it not be buried in the flesh?
njp.32101068585999	The rest of us looked helplessly each at his neighbour as if to say, “ What next?
njp.32101068585999	Then he has been married?
njp.32101068585999	There were, of course, difficulties in the way, but had they not already at Cornell University done much the same for vegetable life?
njp.32101068585999	Was it given by anything which is alive?
njp.32101068585999	Was it not an animal?
njp.32101068585999	Was it not clear now that Lona, whose own handwriting had decoyed me, had most basely betrayed me into her husband's hands?
njp.32101068585999	Was not this rather a singular assumption?
njp.32101068585999	Was this a common experience? ” “ Of late, yes.
njp.32101068585999	We may expect another letter in a THE DARROW ENIGMA 163 as n few days, may we not?
njp.32101068585999	Were you acquainted with John Darrow?
njp.32101068585999	Were you upon the Darrow estate when Mr. Darrow met his death?
njp.32101068585999	Were your cousin living, do you think she would be deaf to that entreaty?
njp.32101068585999	Were your relations friendly?
njp.32101068585999	What did you say he wanted of this Englishman?
njp.32101068585999	What did you say?
njp.32101068585999	What do you say?
njp.32101068585999	What do you think of it, Miss Darrow? ” “ I think what you have learned, ” Gwen replied, “ will be of the utmost importance.
njp.32101068585999	What do you think of the idea?
njp.32101068585999	What do you think our friends, Osborne and Allen, will say now?
njp.32101068585999	What do you think, then?
njp.32101068585999	What does he think?
njp.32101068585999	What does the true artist do for you by his picture of Yosemite Valley?
njp.32101068585999	What else was left?
njp.32101068585999	What if it shifted with Direction of her breath?
njp.32101068585999	What is Ragobah's full name?
njp.32101068585999	What line of procedure can you suggest, Doc?
njp.32101068585999	What might I not be made to do in future?
njp.32101068585999	What month was it?
njp.32101068585999	What motive led you to kill him?
njp.32101068585999	What say you? ” “ That we keep our work to ourselves, ” Gwen quickly re- joined, and I signified that I was of the same opinion.
njp.32101068585999	What says M. Godin?
njp.32101068585999	What then remains?
njp.32101068585999	What was the date?
njp.32101068585999	What was the difference be- tween a human cell and a plant cell?
njp.32101068585999	What was your father's age? ” “ Sixty- two. ” “ Did he drink?"
njp.32101068585999	What was your father's age? ” “ Sixty- two. ” “ Did he drink?"
njp.32101068585999	What were your relations?
njp.32101068585999	What will they then do?
njp.32101068585999	What, then, THE DARROW ENIGMA 47 remains of their theory?
njp.32101068585999	What, then, makes the superiority of the few lines of our Raphael?
njp.32101068585999	When did you first become aware of it?
njp.32101068585999	When did you first see M. Godin?
njp.32101068585999	When did you first visit M. Latour's rooms?
njp.32101068585999	When he recovers from the first shock, he can only ejaculate:'Is it possible?'
njp.32101068585999	When nuns have relapsed from other- worldliness to this- worldliness how have they been?
njp.32101068585999	When the winds are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe, Will you think of me and love me As you did once, long ago?
njp.32101068585999	Where would she be most likely to expect me to look for her?
njp.32101068585999	Where?
njp.32101068585999	Where?
njp.32101068585999	Which THE DARROW ENIGMA 211 would any sane man choose as the best work of art?
njp.32101068585999	Why do we doubt his word when he asserts his innocence and accept it when he acknowledges his guilt?
njp.32101068585999	Why is this?
njp.32101068585999	Why might not something similar to this be true of atomic, as well as of larger, bodies?
njp.32101068585999	Why should I?
njp.32101068585999	Why this sudden and tremendous 74 THE DARROW ENIGMA increase?
njp.32101068585999	Why?
njp.32101068585999	Why?
njp.32101068585999	Will you go? ” “ Yes,"he replied.
njp.32101068585999	With what weapon did you kill Mr. Darrow?
njp.32101068585999	Would it not be just, I thought, to drag him into the cave, and hurl him down the abyss he had intended for me?
njp.32101068585999	You are certain that on the several occasions when you say you entered his rooms you were not ob- served by him while there?
njp.32101068585999	You are sure it was in March?
njp.32101068585999	You had some other person for an accomplice?
njp.32101068585999	You have never seen her in it, have you? ” In this way I succeeded in getting him out of his depressed state.
njp.32101068585999	You knew Ragobah's wife?
njp.32101068585999	You would not, then, had he committed a crime, assist him to escape justice?
njp.32101068585999	“ And before? ” queried Dr. Ferris, turning to Maitland.
njp.32101068585999	“ And that condition is? ” she said quickly.
njp.32101068585999	“ And what do you think?
njp.32101068585999	“ Come, what do you say?"
njp.32101068585999	“ Did he give you his opinion?
njp.32101068585999	“ Do you know what this is?
njp.32101068585999	“ Do you not see how absurd it is, as used by your ex- ponents of realism?
njp.32101068585999	“ Do? ” he replied."
njp.32101068585999	“ Has she not already told you that she should keep that promise, whatever the sacrifice cost her?
njp.32101068585999	“ Has the body been moved or the disposition of its members altered? ” “ Not since I arrived, ” replied Officer Barker.
njp.32101068585999	“ Have you discovered anything new?"
njp.32101068585999	“ Have you forgotten Gwen's promise to her father in this matter? ” she replied.
njp.32101068585999	“ How do you know,"I asked, “ that this mark was made by the assassin?
njp.32101068585999	“ How old are the papers? ” he replied.
njp.32101068585999	“ In- deed?
njp.32101068585999	“ May I see those notes before I go?
njp.32101068585999	“ My friend is himself much interested in the game; he heard of your superb ground; may he be permitted to examine it closely?"
njp.32101068585999	“ Shall I not light the lamp? ” I asked.
njp.32101068585999	“ Shall I read it aloud?
njp.32101068585999	“ Sweet saint, have I kept you waiting? ” I asked, as I came within speaking distance of her.
njp.32101068585999	“ Though this be madness, yet there is method in't,'eh? ” I told him that the maniac theory did not appeal to me very strongly.
njp.32101068585999	“ Was his description of the dreams always the same? ” “ No; never were they twice alike, save in the one particular of the unseen assassin."
njp.32101068585999	“ Well, ” he replied, “ and if it is, what then? ” “ What then? ” I ejaculated.
njp.32101068585999	“ Well, ” he replied, “ and if it is, what then? ” “ What then? ” I ejaculated.
njp.32101068585999	“ What does your realist do, even assuming that he has reached that never- to- be- at- tained perfection which is the lifelong Mecca of his desires?
njp.32101068585999	“ What have you done? ” he roared, furious with rage.
njp.32101068585999	“ What the mischief do you mean? ” “ I mean,"I replied, “ that M. Godin is already upon the scene."
njp.32101068585999	“ What then?
njp.32101068585999	“ Why need we, ” I urged, “ come here; why longer 98 THE DARROW ENIGMA continue these clandestine meetings?
njp.32101068585999	“ Yes. ” “ Poker?"
njp.32101068585999	“ Yes; I played a good deal with father. ” “ What kind of a game did he play?"
njp.32101068585999	” so I say carelessly, “ Alice. ” Then, would you believe it, someone kisses me and says: “ Will you ever have done with that writing?
mdp.39015063961323	A black one, hey? mdp.39015063961323 A quart?"
mdp.39015063961323	A witchdoctor?
mdp.39015063961323	Again why did he not lose patience at his lack of success? mdp.39015063961323 Ah, what part now?"
mdp.39015063961323	All the same?
mdp.39015063961323	And afterward killed himself out of remorse?
mdp.39015063961323	And his address?
mdp.39015063961323	And how long had he been in Kaduna?
mdp.39015063961323	And is he good- looking?
mdp.39015063961323	And now we are on the subject, if it is not rude, may I ask why you have come to our village?
mdp.39015063961323	And the Administration got the treasure?
mdp.39015063961323	And then?
mdp.39015063961323	And what do you really think yourself? mdp.39015063961323 And when did Crumbles leave Kaduna?"
mdp.39015063961323	And where did you see this remarkable phenome- non?
mdp.39015063961323	And you really think this barbarism is a justifica- tion for murder? mdp.39015063961323 Another Scot, eh?
mdp.39015063961323	Anything wrong with it, darling?
mdp.39015063961323	Are you cold, my dear?
mdp.39015063961323	Are you ill?
mdp.39015063961323	Are you sure it's not shamming? mdp.39015063961323 Are you the vicar?"
mdp.39015063961323	As a rational man?
mdp.39015063961323	Bad news?
mdp.39015063961323	But how do you explain Crumbles'letters?
mdp.39015063961323	But how do you know all this?
mdp.39015063961323	But is there anything we ca n't tackle locally?
mdp.39015063961323	But of course you're a Christian,said the vicar happily,"and do n't believe any of that sort of thing?"
mdp.39015063961323	But surely, Colonel, with your knowledge of the native mind, you can guess where he has gone?
mdp.39015063961323	But what did you expect? mdp.39015063961323 But what?
mdp.39015063961323	But why did you come here of all adventurous places?
mdp.39015063961323	But why should we do anything so fantastic?
mdp.39015063961323	But why the devil has n't he found it before, if it was hidden in his own garden?
mdp.39015063961323	But why?
mdp.39015063961323	But will he say anything, if Campbell is in the hands of the Baloomagara?
mdp.39015063961323	But, good Lord, as a scientist, you do n't believe in magic, surely?
mdp.39015063961323	But, man, why not, in the name of goodness? mdp.39015063961323 But, say, have I been sold or something?
mdp.39015063961323	But,asked Campbell,"if that's so, where's the blood?"
mdp.39015063961323	Can he dance?
mdp.39015063961323	Can you describe him?
mdp.39015063961323	Confound his black face,thought the inspector,"what the devil is he thinking?
mdp.39015063961323	Crumbles? mdp.39015063961323 Dear me, is dolicocephaly a new form of vice?
mdp.39015063961323	Did he strike you as being at all agi- tated when he booked his passage?
mdp.39015063961323	Did n't want his face to be seen, see?
mdp.39015063961323	Did n't you get my letter?
mdp.39015063961323	Did they have plantains in the Garden of Eden, I wonder? mdp.39015063961323 Did you actually see this corpse?"
mdp.39015063961323	Did you know the dead man?
mdp.39015063961323	Do n't you?
mdp.39015063961323	Do the priests drug them?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you eat it?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you happen to have a firearm of any kind on you?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you know anything about his previous history?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you know what's happened to the Ivory Soul?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you know why he left Kaduna recently?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you mean he's a wop?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you mean to say that the man's a lunatic?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you object to my company?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you play cricket?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you realize this is highly suspicious, your pres- ence here? mdp.39015063961323 Do you recognize this piece of jewellery?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do you see he wrote some THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE 45 other name instead of'Spike O'Leary'and then care- fully crossed it out?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you think I care a cent for your beastly British law? mdp.39015063961323 Do you think he's escaped from the circus?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do you think the Guardians of the Ivory Soul are always visible? mdp.39015063961323 Do you think there can be something in it?
mdp.39015063961323	Does he realize what a vicarage is?
mdp.39015063961323	Dyed?
mdp.39015063961323	Er — isn't it a bit risky?
mdp.39015063961323	Fine beasts, Mr. Jennings? mdp.39015063961323 Garrod, how do you explain that witch- doctor's prediction?"
mdp.39015063961323	Good Heavens, what are you doing here?
mdp.39015063961323	Good Lord, is it a sort of Morse?
mdp.39015063961323	Good hotel?
mdp.39015063961323	Good passage?
mdp.39015063961323	Has O'Leary a banking account?
mdp.39015063961323	Has anything untoward occurred?
mdp.39015063961323	Has there been an earthquake here?
mdp.39015063961323	Have a drink?
mdp.39015063961323	Have some more coffee, my dear? mdp.39015063961323 Have you finished your sketch?
mdp.39015063961323	Have you got the original of that wire?
mdp.39015063961323	Have you seen this person?
mdp.39015063961323	Have your people been able to get a line on Crumbles'movements in London?
mdp.39015063961323	He did n't say what the business was?
mdp.39015063961323	Hello, what's that?
mdp.39015063961323	Here, Hilton, give the inspector the verbatim of the desecration trial, will you?
mdp.39015063961323	Here? mdp.39015063961323 How dare he?"
mdp.39015063961323	How did Crumbles and O'Leary get possession of the Ivory Soul and the treasure? mdp.39015063961323 How do you mean, talk?"
mdp.39015063961323	How many, may I ask?
mdp.39015063961323	How on earth did you know that?
mdp.39015063961323	How would you then?
mdp.39015063961323	How's he getting on?
mdp.39015063961323	How?
mdp.39015063961323	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063961323	I believe this is what is known as a fair- cop,he admitted,"but come to that, what are you doing here?"
mdp.39015063961323	I gather from all this that you're not at all sure that it is sui- cide?
mdp.39015063961323	I mean after that?
mdp.39015063961323	I say, who the devil are you?
mdp.39015063961323	I understand that, but the sunburn, now?
mdp.39015063961323	If he suffered from dissociation of personality, how can he remember anything?
mdp.39015063961323	If he's from Oxford, will he be as wet as young Marion? mdp.39015063961323 In both cases?"
mdp.39015063961323	Indeed, and what conclusion have you come to?
mdp.39015063961323	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063961323	Is it a ball game?
mdp.39015063961323	Is it a purely criminal gang? mdp.39015063961323 Is it a statue?"
mdp.39015063961323	Is it necessary to feed me all these lies, Colonel?
mdp.39015063961323	Is it suicide?
mdp.39015063961323	Is that in Nigeria?
mdp.39015063961323	It is odd, is n't it? mdp.39015063961323 It's not very logical, is it, when put in that way?
mdp.39015063961323	Lor', you do n't half shrivel a man up, do you?
mdp.39015063961323	May I ask you why you are coming out here? mdp.39015063961323 May I suggest you ask for Inspector Camp- bell — Archibald Campbell I think it is?
mdp.39015063961323	Miser, eh? mdp.39015063961323 Mr. Jones?
mdp.39015063961323	My angel pet, would you be so kind as not to re- peat the final phrase of my sentence? mdp.39015063961323 My dear child,"answered the vicar blandly,"what are you talking about?"
mdp.39015063961323	No one here?
mdp.39015063961323	No, I ai n't ill."Are you T.T.?
mdp.39015063961323	Now, Inspector,he said heartily,"what can I do for you?
mdp.39015063961323	Now, really, Jennings, I ask you, as a fellow artist, is there a more effective flower? mdp.39015063961323 O'Leary's?
mdp.39015063961323	Of what?
mdp.39015063961323	Oh, has he? mdp.39015063961323 Oh, is he?
mdp.39015063961323	Oh, will they? mdp.39015063961323 Oh,"said Campbell,"it comes from Balooma, does it?
mdp.39015063961323	Promise me you wo n't tell the girls? mdp.39015063961323 Quite definitely, Mr. Jones?
mdp.39015063961323	Really, how can you? mdp.39015063961323 Really?"
mdp.39015063961323	Say, why do they keep changing sides when they've just got set?
mdp.39015063961323	Say, you're a bit of a knocker, are n't you?
mdp.39015063961323	Seen any more of our friend O'Leary?
mdp.39015063961323	So he used to create, did he?
mdp.39015063961323	Such as?
mdp.39015063961323	Surely there's only one way of digging?
mdp.39015063961323	Surprised to see me, were you, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063961323	Their own language? mdp.39015063961323 Then is it because you object to my company?"
mdp.39015063961323	Then what do you want to come bothering me, axing a lot of questions? mdp.39015063961323 Then you'll have a drink with me?"
mdp.39015063961323	There, you see?
mdp.39015063961323	Useful?
mdp.39015063961323	Very well,he said, his face rigid,"if I have to choose between doing my job and never speaking to you again, what do you suppose I can say?"
mdp.39015063961323	Was this buried by the first owner of the Wilder- ness? mdp.39015063961323 Well then, sir,"said Campbell heatedly,"since we are having a show- down, and still with all respect, what is your position in this matter?
mdp.39015063961323	Well, now that you see I'm quite harmless, wo n't you tell me why you were hanging round there?
mdp.39015063961323	Well, now, and who might have done that? mdp.39015063961323 Well, that's awkward, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063961323	Well, what did he say?
mdp.39015063961323	Well, what's on your mind?
mdp.39015063961323	Were you hot?
mdp.39015063961323	Were you looking for one of your negro friends?
mdp.39015063961323	Were you?
mdp.39015063961323	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015063961323	What are you planting?
mdp.39015063961323	What are you playing?
mdp.39015063961323	What can have happened to the lad? mdp.39015063961323 What did he say about me, anyway?"
mdp.39015063961323	What did you say your name was?
mdp.39015063961323	What did you see?
mdp.39015063961323	What do you make of it, Doctor?
mdp.39015063961323	What do you pro- pose to do?
mdp.39015063961323	What does it speak then?
mdp.39015063961323	What have you done now?
mdp.39015063961323	What if they did cut off his hair and sprinkle their fetish with his blood? mdp.39015063961323 What is it this time?
mdp.39015063961323	What is it you know about this affair?
mdp.39015063961323	What is it, Pattie, my darling poppet, whatever is the matter? mdp.39015063961323 What makes you think I would n't be?"
mdp.39015063961323	What on earth does he mean by the final sentence?
mdp.39015063961323	What on earth is the matter, Marion?
mdp.39015063961323	What on earth made you come here tonight?
mdp.39015063961323	What part of Africa do you come from?
mdp.39015063961323	What part of the States does this Dr. Ridge come from?
mdp.39015063961323	What state was he in?
mdp.39015063961323	What the blankety hell do you want?
mdp.39015063961323	What the devil are you going to do about it?
mdp.39015063961323	What was it you wanted to know, Inspector?
mdp.39015063961323	What you were doing round Farmer Bunn's fowl houses at two o'clock in the morning on Thursday night?
mdp.39015063961323	What's all this precious nonsense, eh? mdp.39015063961323 What's he doing down here?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's that got to do with it? mdp.39015063961323 What's that?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's that?
mdp.39015063961323	What's the Ivory Soul?
mdp.39015063961323	What's this nonsense, eh? mdp.39015063961323 What, has he been in here?"
mdp.39015063961323	What, to stay the night?
mdp.39015063961323	What?
mdp.39015063961323	When do you leave?
mdp.39015063961323	When was he last seen?
mdp.39015063961323	When you are giving a sermon, do you or do you not always fumble with a lose button in your pocket?
mdp.39015063961323	Where are you going?
mdp.39015063961323	Where can that band be? mdp.39015063961323 Where do I come from?
mdp.39015063961323	Where do you come from?
mdp.39015063961323	Where have you been all this time?
mdp.39015063961323	Where is he then?
mdp.39015063961323	Where on earth did you pick that up? mdp.39015063961323 Where would you have been before you came here?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where's Molengi?
mdp.39015063961323	Whereabouts was this, Tommy?
mdp.39015063961323	Whither away, so fast and so free?
mdp.39015063961323	Who are you? mdp.39015063961323 Who does?"
mdp.39015063961323	Who is he?
mdp.39015063961323	Who's that Johnny?
mdp.39015063961323	Whose car was it?
mdp.39015063961323	Why are you here? mdp.39015063961323 Why are you here?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why both?
mdp.39015063961323	Why did you come here then?
mdp.39015063961323	Why do they behave like that?
mdp.39015063961323	Why not ask the squire to do it?
mdp.39015063961323	Why not go back to your native land? mdp.39015063961323 Why not?
mdp.39015063961323	Why not?
mdp.39015063961323	Why particularly eating toast?
mdp.39015063961323	Why, what is happening today, if one may ask?
mdp.39015063961323	Why?
mdp.39015063961323	Why?
mdp.39015063961323	Will you please wait for me downstairs?
mdp.39015063961323	With all respect, sir, may I ask how you are aware of that? mdp.39015063961323 Would you mind holding this wire down while I get over?"
mdp.39015063961323	Would you mind switching off that thing?
mdp.39015063961323	Yes, but what tribe does he belong to?
mdp.39015063961323	You advertised for one?
mdp.39015063961323	You always have a horse in your pictures, why should n't I — in my humbler way — have an apple in mine?
mdp.39015063961323	You are sure he is dead? mdp.39015063961323 You do n't think much of your home town, do you?"
mdp.39015063961323	You do n't think that significant, in view of the events in Little Whippering? mdp.39015063961323 You do n't, eh?"
mdp.39015063961323	You know quite a lot, do n't you? mdp.39015063961323 You paint, then?"
mdp.39015063961323	You remember Crumbles'buying a ticket?
mdp.39015063961323	You remember old Crumbles? mdp.39015063961323 You surely do n't think I'm English?
mdp.39015063961323	You think that, do you?
mdp.39015063961323	Your idea is that Crumbles murdered Samson?
mdp.39015063961323	Your name, if you please?
mdp.39015063961323	.?'
mdp.39015063961323	192 THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE"Would you have described him as a level- headed man?
mdp.39015063961323	224 THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE"The Marion Arms?
mdp.39015063961323	248 THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE"Is it all right for me to have a look at this stool business?
mdp.39015063961323	A gun you say?
mdp.39015063961323	A heathen in the house with all that silver of hers?"
mdp.39015063961323	After all, what did he say?
mdp.39015063961323	An Englishman's home is his castle, ai n't it?"
mdp.39015063961323	And George has killed himself, has n't he?
mdp.39015063961323	And do you or do you not always tap the left gate pillar with your stick when you come in to the house?"
mdp.39015063961323	And had he hoped by murdering Crumbles to get a clear start of them?
mdp.39015063961323	And how do you explain the letter to the Coroner?"
mdp.39015063961323	And if he agrees, get out a warrant for his arrest and come down to me here?
mdp.39015063961323	And suppose I refuse to answer them?"
mdp.39015063961323	And suppose he found the place too difficult to break into and had to shoot the dog, and beat it?
mdp.39015063961323	And supposing this happens often?
mdp.39015063961323	And then, as they jogged again on the trail, he puzzled over the eter- THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE 279 nal problem: Who was Campbell?
mdp.39015063961323	And what I says, gents, is, what does it matter?
mdp.39015063961323	And what happened?"
mdp.39015063961323	And what is he coming for?
mdp.39015063961323	And what may the vicar's missis think of him?
mdp.39015063961323	And where was Crumbles staying before he came here?
mdp.39015063961323	And whom does the Ivory Soul belong to?"
mdp.39015063961323	Any news of that car number?"
mdp.39015063961323	Anyone missing?"
mdp.39015063961323	Anyway why so many holes?"
mdp.39015063961323	Apart from the oddness of the wording, why was it ever sent at all?
mdp.39015063961323	Are you married?"
mdp.39015063961323	As for your famous sunburn, Gregson, why not be obvious, and ask him?
mdp.39015063961323	As man to man, will you be my chief of police?"
mdp.39015063961323	As you say, why?
mdp.39015063961323	At this stage?"
mdp.39015063961323	Back to Gorango?
mdp.39015063961323	Bearing in mind that I am on holiday?"
mdp.39015063961323	But I suppose you're still the same sea- green incorruptible?
mdp.39015063961323	But even as Mr. Gudgeon's triumphant How's that?
mdp.39015063961323	But excuse me, may I ask who you are?
mdp.39015063961323	But is n't it a bit dangerous?"
mdp.39015063961323	But still""What happened?"
mdp.39015063961323	But tell me, Vicar, now you've seen life in the raw, what do you think of it?"
mdp.39015063961323	But today the country is quite peaceful?"
mdp.39015063961323	But what the devil can it have been?"
mdp.39015063961323	But when it comes fishing about asking this and that and where have I been, I says, why?
mdp.39015063961323	But why does he come at all?
mdp.39015063961323	But why should he disguise himself?
mdp.39015063961323	But why should he want to dye his hair?"
mdp.39015063961323	But why should you suppose we should have concealed this from you, had we known it?"
mdp.39015063961323	But will you excuse me, old boy?
mdp.39015063961323	But — forgive me if I press it — is it necessary to wreck your career in this way?"
mdp.39015063961323	By Jove, could that have been Crumbles'good news?"
mdp.39015063961323	CHAPTER SIX Yet Another Body?
mdp.39015063961323	CHAPTER TWENTY End of a Detective?
mdp.39015063961323	Ca n't you see it?
mdp.39015063961323	Can I do any- thing?
mdp.39015063961323	Can you drive him up?"
mdp.39015063961323	Can you put a man to death for witch- craft, a thing you do n't believe in?
mdp.39015063961323	Come, that's a bit strong, is n't it?
mdp.39015063961323	Could he conceivably be alive?
mdp.39015063961323	Could the man make one for him if he provided the metal?
mdp.39015063961323	Could there have been a trace of sarcasm in the words?
mdp.39015063961323	Crumbles?
mdp.39015063961323	Dear me, are you really going to lug that great easel with you, Marion?"
mdp.39015063961323	Did n't you expect me?"
mdp.39015063961323	Did they get hold of it again?"
mdp.39015063961323	Did you know that even ants took stimulants?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do n't I come up to ex- pectations?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do n't you admit the serious- ness of murder?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do n't you ever feel your personality wilting among all these primitive souls, with their dark mysterious lives?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do they depose you?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do you know what else I found in Little Whippering?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do you mean you have more than one wife?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do you realize Gauguin is positively the only painter who has ever dared tackle the tropics?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you really think he would go so far as to shoot Neptune?"
mdp.39015063961323	Do you really think he would shoot him?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you think I'm paying you for a lot of rubbish like this?
mdp.39015063961323	Do you think the explanation is that he's just mad?"
mdp.39015063961323	Does n't it all link up?
mdp.39015063961323	Eh?
mdp.39015063961323	End of a Detective?
mdp.39015063961323	Er, come in, will you?"
mdp.39015063961323	Found anything?"
mdp.39015063961323	Frightful liar, is n't she?"
mdp.39015063961323	Good Lord, Inspector, do you realize the danger you ran?
mdp.39015063961323	Granted O'Leary became Samson and Samson became Crumbles and so on, but what's it got to do with us, eh?
mdp.39015063961323	Had he always known that?
mdp.39015063961323	Handsome men are slightly sunburnt, what, what?
mdp.39015063961323	Have I been sold or did they give me the wrong set of records?"
mdp.39015063961323	Have I done anything to deserve these questions?
mdp.39015063961323	Have I, Hilton?"
mdp.39015063961323	Have another of these damned whiskies?
mdp.39015063961323	Have you been gambling?"
mdp.39015063961323	He'd probably resign his job, and then what would become of his hordes of children?
mdp.39015063961323	Hollingsworth suggested Beni workmanship, did he?
mdp.39015063961323	How could it?
mdp.39015063961323	How could we, in- telligent white men, countenance such a thing?
mdp.39015063961323	How could witchcraft be proved at a trial, if you do n't be- lieve in it?
mdp.39015063961323	How did he make that money?"
mdp.39015063961323	How did you get it?
mdp.39015063961323	How do you explain Crumbles'depression?
mdp.39015063961323	How had Crumbles, almost immediately after the Balooma scandal, come into money?
mdp.39015063961323	How should he lie, since he speaks only what the spirits of our fathers and mothers tell him?
mdp.39015063961323	I am prospecting the ground for CHAPTER EIGHT Inspector Campbell Strikes Gold"You remember that dirt in O'Leary's basin?"
mdp.39015063961323	I hope I can make use of your name?"
mdp.39015063961323	I say, Vicar, what a perfectly charming old- world village this is, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063961323	I say, that's rather a come- down from murder, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063961323	I spoke out straight, did n't I?
mdp.39015063961323	I suppose none of Samson's papers helped you at all?"
mdp.39015063961323	I trust the Festival is quite suitable for my cloth?
mdp.39015063961323	I wonder why I did n't see you before?"
mdp.39015063961323	If so, whom would he have done it through?
mdp.39015063961323	If the man in question was invisible, how could you have seen him?"
mdp.39015063961323	If you were forced to choose, Jennings( which Heaven forefend), would you give up your hunter or your mistress?"
mdp.39015063961323	In any case, Samuel, have you forgotten that Dr. Ridge is arriving next week?
mdp.39015063961323	Is he a FOREIGNER?
mdp.39015063961323	Is he fierce- like?"
mdp.39015063961323	Is it a part of your story?"
mdp.39015063961323	Is n't that witchdoctor murdering those men as much as the poisoner who poisons their soup?"
mdp.39015063961323	Is the treasure a secondary motive, and is it rather a case of blood vengeance?
mdp.39015063961323	Is there a pub near here?"
mdp.39015063961323	Is this American doctor likely to mind having a negro as a fellow boarder?
mdp.39015063961323	Is this all Alma Mater and the missionary have done for you?
mdp.39015063961323	It makes one wonder, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063961323	It may be indeed that they deceive him with a purpose, but what is a man, to outwit the spirits?
mdp.39015063961323	It sounds a good spot, but where is it?"
mdp.39015063961323	It suggests, does n't it, that there was something behind Crumbles'visit besides Samson's death?"
mdp.39015063961323	Jones?"
mdp.39015063961323	Jones?"
mdp.39015063961323	Just, why?"
mdp.39015063961323	Marion?"
mdp.39015063961323	May I ask what are you doing here in Little Whippering?"
mdp.39015063961323	Maybe I can get a bit to eat and a can of beer at a pub, where?"
mdp.39015063961323	Most sur- prising, was it not?
mdp.39015063961323	Now where would this Wilderness be?"
mdp.39015063961323	O'Leary's affability had quite worn off, and he 2qq THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE.uldn't go into the Wilderness by daylight?
mdp.39015063961323	O'Leary?"
mdp.39015063961323	O'Leary?"
mdp.39015063961323	Of course, Pattie, will you ever forgive me?
mdp.39015063961323	Oh, why were ships ever invented?"
mdp.39015063961323	On the contrary, above the wild barking of his dog:"God, is this village crazy?"
mdp.39015063961323	On the other hand, had the fowl- house affair any- thing to do with O'Leary?
mdp.39015063961323	Or a disease?"
mdp.39015063961323	Or a kind of secret society?
mdp.39015063961323	Or a man who had been Campbell?
mdp.39015063961323	Or a man who had dreamed he was Campbell?
mdp.39015063961323	Or after his death?
mdp.39015063961323	Or after the tenancy of the building by O'Leary?
mdp.39015063961323	Or did he only later realize that someone, far more danger- ous than Crumbles, was after the hoard?
mdp.39015063961323	Or did you know it all the time?"
mdp.39015063961323	Or did'n do it hisself?"
mdp.39015063961323	Or do n't you?"
mdp.39015063961323	Or do you like cricket?"
mdp.39015063961323	Or even murder him?
mdp.39015063961323	Or have you come to look round our garden?
mdp.39015063961323	Or is it what you might call a social call?
mdp.39015063961323	Or rather are these con- founded spirits sure that he is dead?
mdp.39015063961323	Or shall I get my throat cut?"
mdp.39015063961323	Per- haps the wire to O'Leary was just another device to lure O'Leary into his clutches?"
mdp.39015063961323	Prowling round the room:"It does look like suicide, does n't it?"
mdp.39015063961323	Psyche, will you run and fetch some more milk?"
mdp.39015063961323	Rather cynical, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063961323	Ridge?"
mdp.39015063961323	Ridge?"
mdp.39015063961323	Sailed on the Cromlech?
mdp.39015063961323	Self- defence is legal, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063961323	Shall I get it out for you?"
mdp.39015063961323	Shall we get on our way then?
mdp.39015063961323	So supposing O'Leary wanted to get back to normality quickly, what would he do?
mdp.39015063961323	So we've put the wind up you, have we?
mdp.39015063961323	So you're not easily shocked?"
mdp.39015063961323	Strong minded?"
mdp.39015063961323	Suppose Crumbles intended to rob O'Leary?
mdp.39015063961323	Surely it upsets all the laws of nature?"
mdp.39015063961323	THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE 181"Is your visit to Molengi connected with it?"
mdp.39015063961323	THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE 291"Do you really mean that, or are you just saying it to cheer me up?"
mdp.39015063961323	THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE 85"Well, Tommy, what's this I hear?
mdp.39015063961323	Tea?"
mdp.39015063961323	The box hedges are rather fine, are they not?
mdp.39015063961323	The natives have exactly the same manners and as far as I can say do exactly the same thing as the vil- THE CORPSE WITH THE SUNBURNED FACE 235"Ants?
mdp.39015063961323	The question is, what metal?
mdp.39015063961323	The truth and nothing but the truth and to hell with Balooma?
mdp.39015063961323	Then:"Before we talk together, sir,"he said,"may I ask you to have the goodness to remove your hat and muffler?"
mdp.39015063961323	This Themistocles business?"
mdp.39015063961323	To conceal a secret mission of Dakin's?
mdp.39015063961323	Tuffy's dead, ai n't he?
mdp.39015063961323	Unless""Unless?"
mdp.39015063961323	Was he still Camp- bell?
mdp.39015063961323	Was it conceivable that these sinister persons were in any way official?
mdp.39015063961323	Was it the pounding of blood in his head?
mdp.39015063961323	Was n't that where Virginia had talked of going?
mdp.39015063961323	Was there really any secret society in Balooma, such as he had been told of by his friends in Kaduna?
mdp.39015063961323	Well, how would that be?
mdp.39015063961323	Well, my dear, can I do anything for you?
mdp.39015063961323	Well, what about it?
mdp.39015063961323	What actually happens now?
mdp.39015063961323	What are you doing here anyway?"
mdp.39015063961323	What are you, a lot of sissies?
mdp.39015063961323	What could have been more peaceful, more rural?
mdp.39015063961323	What do you advise me to do?"
mdp.39015063961323	What do you do?"
mdp.39015063961323	What do you mean?"
mdp.39015063961323	What do you think happened?"
mdp.39015063961323	What do you want me to do, Gregson?
mdp.39015063961323	What do you want to go to Molengi for?"
mdp.39015063961323	What do you want, you blasted bluebottle?
mdp.39015063961323	What had been the real effect on the native mind of the desecration trial?
mdp.39015063961323	What happened to it?
mdp.39015063961323	What is all this about, Samuel?
mdp.39015063961323	What is all this fuss about?"
mdp.39015063961323	What is it that girl knows and I do n't?"
mdp.39015063961323	What is it you want to know?"
mdp.39015063961323	What is it?"
mdp.39015063961323	What made you expect something?"
mdp.39015063961323	What more do you want?"
mdp.39015063961323	What precisely did you say to them?"
mdp.39015063961323	What was the meaning of the drumming we both heard in the Wilderness garden when O'Leary was lying dead?
mdp.39015063961323	What was the object of the lie?
mdp.39015063961323	What was the significance of the queer ceremony I witnessed outside Farmer Bunn's poultry house?
mdp.39015063961323	What was the web that bound them to- gether?
mdp.39015063961323	What will he say when he finds he is expected to live in a home for negroes?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's happened to him?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's his name and address in the visitors'book?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's it all about, eh?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's our next step?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's the good of it to you?"
mdp.39015063961323	What's the use of jumble sales for black men that drive round in their cars like Chris- tians?
mdp.39015063961323	What?
mdp.39015063961323	What?
mdp.39015063961323	When was this?"
mdp.39015063961323	When you're not being a scientist?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where are you bound for?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where did he pick up the money to live on?
mdp.39015063961323	Where do you come from?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where does he come from?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where have we slipped up?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where is the blood?
mdp.39015063961323	Where is this man now?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where was he going?
mdp.39015063961323	Where was he killed?"
mdp.39015063961323	Where was he living?
mdp.39015063961323	Who are you?"
mdp.39015063961323	Who is he?
mdp.39015063961323	Who is he?"
mdp.39015063961323	Who is the Line's agent here?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why all this business about wanting to give a dying message?
mdp.39015063961323	Why did you refuse to tell me anything?
mdp.39015063961323	Why not make another swap, this time with O'Leary?
mdp.39015063961323	Why not tell me?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why on earth did they tell me in Kaduna that Smythe was the cleverest official who ever came to Africa?
mdp.39015063961323	Why should I?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why should a law- abiding place like Balooma be dragged into your Little Whippering atrocities?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why should it be him?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why should they be associated?
mdp.39015063961323	Why was O'Leary unable, during his two years of residence, to discover the treasure?
mdp.39015063961323	Why was its head shaven?
mdp.39015063961323	Why was the corpse drained of blood?
mdp.39015063961323	Why was there such a disproportion between the sentences of Tuffy Samson and his accomplices?
mdp.39015063961323	Why were n't they content with that?"
mdp.39015063961323	Why, if he saw O'Leary then, did n't he give him the good news?
mdp.39015063961323	Why?"
mdp.39015063961323	Will you lend me that chart of the room showing the posi- tion of the fingerprints?"
mdp.39015063961323	Will you speak to your chief?
mdp.39015063961323	Yet Another Body?
mdp.39015063961323	You are jesting surely?
mdp.39015063961323	You knew him?"
mdp.39015063961323	You know I should have thought that as a scientist, a hard- boiled scientist, was n't it?
mdp.39015063961323	You understand my meaning?
mdp.39015063961323	You're not denying that, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063961323	You've had men investigating?"
mdp.39015063961323	exclaimed Mrs. Wykeham,"did I hear you say both?"
mdp.39015063961323	he asked Garrod,"the one with the scar?"
mdp.39015063961323	he asked,"and what's the Kwana Festival?"
mdp.39015063961323	interrupted Jennings,"I wonder if it's our old miser up at the Wilderness?"
mdp.39015063961323	what was he doing with them?
nyp.33433074852249	A plant?
nyp.33433074852249	A quarrel?
nyp.33433074852249	And after prohibition, did he buy any more?
nyp.33433074852249	And that was just before he cried out?
nyp.33433074852249	And then you left him?
nyp.33433074852249	And they are just as you found them — I mean, up around his chin this way?
nyp.33433074852249	And when was the second occasion that you heard them quarreling?
nyp.33433074852249	And you did not hear the revolver shot, the one the boy heard?
nyp.33433074852249	And you quarrelled over his selling it?
nyp.33433074852249	Are these men,asked Bartley,"the ones that are serving the seven years'sentence?''
nyp.33433074852249	Bob, what are you men going to do this evening? nyp.33433074852249 But how did it get there?"
nyp.33433074852249	But the raps?
nyp.33433074852249	But, Mr. Bartley,Ruth cried, wonder- ingly,"why should anyone wish to kill our chauffeur?"
nyp.33433074852249	But, if Slyke was murdered,the doctor asked,"why should all this trouble have been taken to make it look like suicide?"
nyp.33433074852249	But,I gasped,"what do you want with five slates?"
nyp.33433074852249	Buy some whiskey?
nyp.33433074852249	Can you give me any idea,he asked,"what sort of a bottle that cork came from?"
nyp.33433074852249	Dead?
nyp.33433074852249	Design?
nyp.33433074852249	Did Mr. Slyke come down with Mr. Law- rence?
nyp.33433074852249	Did Mr. Slyke ever lock his door at night?
nyp.33433074852249	Did the girl tell you who found that piece of newspaper?
nyp.33433074852249	Did you disturb the body?
nyp.33433074852249	Did you get out of bed to see if you could discover where the shot came from?
nyp.33433074852249	Did you see the dog when you came in?
nyp.33433074852249	Do you know what they were talking about?
nyp.33433074852249	Do you realize what that shows?
nyp.33433074852249	Do you remember, Pelt,he asked,"that Currie told us she runs a ouija board?
nyp.33433074852249	Do you think,I asked in excitement,"that it is the sign of some secret society?"
nyp.33433074852249	Doctor, do you think the wound could have been self- inflicted?
nyp.33433074852249	Five what?
nyp.33433074852249	Has it occurred to you that it is a strange thing that a man like Slyke should spend most of his time up here? nyp.33433074852249 Have the burglars been here again?"
nyp.33433074852249	How did your trip come off?
nyp.33433074852249	How do you make that out?
nyp.33433074852249	I see that; but, on the other hand, how do we know that Briffeur himself did not kill Slyke? nyp.33433074852249 I thought you had never heard of the case?
nyp.33433074852249	John,he demanded,"what the devil made that tire explode?"
nyp.33433074852249	John,he said,"are most of your eve- nings as uneventful as this one?"
nyp.33433074852249	Miss Potter, when you came in, did you touch the bed clothes at all?
nyp.33433074852249	Miss Potter,he said suddenly,"you do n't want me to believe that you know who killed your brother- in- law, do you?"
nyp.33433074852249	Mixed up?
nyp.33433074852249	Murdered?
nyp.33433074852249	My God, how?
nyp.33433074852249	My God, who — who did it?
nyp.33433074852249	Now, Roche,asked Bartley,"did you hear anything?"
nyp.33433074852249	Of course, you know who Robert Slyke is?
nyp.33433074852249	One condition? nyp.33433074852249 That is not of much importance, is it?
nyp.33433074852249	The first thing I would like to know is, what has become of Slyke's chauffeur?
nyp.33433074852249	Then why was the chauffeur killed?
nyp.33433074852249	Three?
nyp.33433074852249	Thrown?
nyp.33433074852249	Took a shot at me?
nyp.33433074852249	Trying to point him out?
nyp.33433074852249	Two?
nyp.33433074852249	Want to spring him?
nyp.33433074852249	Well, what do you think of it all?
nyp.33433074852249	What are they saying?
nyp.33433074852249	What did he want to see you about?
nyp.33433074852249	What did you hear?
nyp.33433074852249	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074852249	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074852249	What is the case?
nyp.33433074852249	What makes you think, Mr. Bartley,he asked,"that Slyke was dressed at the time he was killed?"
nyp.33433074852249	What shall I do with those people outside?
nyp.33433074852249	What's that?
nyp.33433074852249	When did he start to sell it?
nyp.33433074852249	Where did it seem to come from?
nyp.33433074852249	Where did you get that?
nyp.33433074852249	Where in the devil is John?
nyp.33433074852249	Where were you when you heard the shot? nyp.33433074852249 Who was drunk?"
nyp.33433074852249	Who were we, and what were we doing here? nyp.33433074852249 Why could n't it have been done,"I sug- gested,"by someone in the party?"
nyp.33433074852249	Why did n't you tell us you were a detec- tive?
nyp.33433074852249	Why did you think he killed himself?
nyp.33433074852249	Why should he have killed himself?
nyp.33433074852249	Why was he unable to identify the men when his daughter said she could?
nyp.33433074852249	You did what?
nyp.33433074852249	You did?
nyp.33433074852249	You do n't think that had anything to do with the murder, do you?
nyp.33433074852249	You do?
nyp.33433074852249	You do?
nyp.33433074852249	You say Miss Potter does n't wish to give us any aid at all?
nyp.33433074852249	''What can it be?"
nyp.33433074852249	*'My God, why?''
nyp.33433074852249	122 OUT OF THE DARKNESS"After he was killed?"
nyp.33433074852249	226 OUT OF THE DARKNESS have foreseen that the lights would go out and give him a chance?
nyp.33433074852249	>"Why do you think that?"
nyp.33433074852249	AN OLD CRIME COMES TO LIGHT 13 Bartley asked in surprise,"Then why, under heaven, did they keep on with it?"
nyp.33433074852249	After a moment she removed it, and stammered,"H- How — Who?"
nyp.33433074852249	And lastly, what was the motive for Slyke's murder?"
nyp.33433074852249	As the doctor did not continue, Bartley asked,''Then he never, at any time, said he recognized either of the men?"
nyp.33433074852249	At length he asked,''Shall we try some other method?"
nyp.33433074852249	At that moment Currie's voice came loudly from the hall below,"Eh, John, you tin detec- tive, are you ready?"
nyp.33433074852249	Bartley asked with a weary air,"Did they later find a piece"of cloth torn from the coat or trousers of one of the men?
nyp.33433074852249	Bartley demanded,"what?"
nyp.33433074852249	Bartley noticed her hesitation, and asked WE BEGIN TO FIND A MOTIVE 231 suddenly,"Was it over his selling whiskey?"
nyp.33433074852249	Bartley turned to the butler and asked,"Was the dog in this room when you came down this morning?"
nyp.33433074852249	Bartley's face was very grave as he said,"What did you do when you found he was dead?"
nyp.33433074852249	Bartley, who had listened carefully, asked,"They did not get anything?"
nyp.33433074852249	But I thought —"214 OUT OF THE DARKNESS"What did you think?"
nyp.33433074852249	But he told me positively that night, or rathe?
nyp.33433074852249	But""But what?"
nyp.33433074852249	Can I come over tomorrow morning and have a talk with you about the burglary?
nyp.33433074852249	Could he secure Bartley's aid?
nyp.33433074852249	Could she not think of some reason why he might have com- mitted suicide, ill health or money troubles?
nyp.33433074852249	Currie broke in with,"How do you and Miss Potter get along?"
nyp.33433074852249	Did he seem nervous or upset?"
nyp.33433074852249	Do n't you think so, Doctor King?"
nyp.33433074852249	Do n't you, Doctor King?"
nyp.33433074852249	Do you know, I picked up very little after you left the house?"
nyp.33433074852249	Ee- membering that and the task it was to carry such a heavy weight down so many stairs, did I still think the girl could have done it?
nyp.33433074852249	Even the district attorney, lawyer that he was, de- manded,"Why do you say that?"
nyp.33433074852249	Find it, perhaps, on a bush near the window the men had jumped out of?"
nyp.33433074852249	First, was the robbery a plant?"
nyp.33433074852249	For several moments he examined it, then he asked as he passed it over to me,"What do you think of it?"
nyp.33433074852249	Had you not seen it washed with your own eyes?
nyp.33433074852249	He asked no useless questions, but when Bartley had finished his instructions, inquired,"What shall I take first?"
nyp.33433074852249	He asked,"Are there no more?"
nyp.33433074852249	He asked,"How about the footprints?"
nyp.33433074852249	He wants you to do it at once/'With a'hrewd look, Bartley asked,"Then there is something new?"
nyp.33433074852249	His face flushed and he sneered,"Oh, come now, how do you expect to prove that?"
nyp.33433074852249	How dare you say that — how can you stand there and say it to my face?''
nyp.33433074852249	I am right; that was what the words were about, was n't it?"
nyp.33433074852249	I asked,"And then these men may be innocent?''
nyp.33433074852249	I do n't suppose that I can swipe three or four cases while your back is turned?"
nyp.33433074852249	If so, why had he done it; or, for that matter, in- deed, why had he been murdered?
nyp.33433074852249	If you claim the taking of the gun was foolish, why can it not be said to be the kind of an illogical thing a woman would do?
nyp.33433074852249	In a low voice she demanded,"How did you know?"
nyp.33433074852249	In surprise I remarked,"You did?"
nyp.33433074852249	Just as I reached the door, Black called after me,"Say, Pelt, what does your chief want us all over for, to Slyke's tonight?"
nyp.33433074852249	Not much in this case, is there?"
nyp.33433074852249	Roche asked,"What do they mean?"
nyp.33433074852249	Roche clinched his argument by demanding,"Why, under heaven, should Slyke owe Briffeur a large sum of money?"
nyp.33433074852249	She received a rather disgusted look from the district attorney, who asked,"Did you not know that the body should have been left as you found it?"
nyp.33433074852249	She saw the body at her feet, and with a little cry asked,"What's happened?"
nyp.33433074852249	She shrieked,"You say I know who killed him — I — I know?
nyp.33433074852249	Slyke?"
nyp.33433074852249	So why not start on friendly terms and do what has to be done together?"
nyp.33433074852249	Sud- denly, from above us, a girlish voice called,"Who is talking about me?"
nyp.33433074852249	THE DEAD MAN'S EYES 97"Did you see anyone near the door of Mr. Slyke's room while we were in there?"
nyp.33433074852249	The chauffeur?
nyp.33433074852249	Then Bartley's voice again, cool but low,"Can you communicate with us?"
nyp.33433074852249	Then came Miss Potter's voice, very angry,'I do, do I?
nyp.33433074852249	Then he asked suddenly,"And what was the name of the man that stayed after the others left?"
nyp.33433074852249	Then she asked slowly, almost spelling out each word,"De- ad — dead — why — how?"
nyp.33433074852249	There must be blood spots somewhere, yet where?
nyp.33433074852249	There was no answer, and Bartley demanded sternly,"Doctor King, you are not going to deny, are you, that you killed those two men?"
nyp.33433074852249	This was more astonishing still, and I asked,"Why, you have n't any faith in those things, have you?"
nyp.33433074852249	We stared inquiringly at each other, and Bartley said sharply to Roche,"Where is he?"
nyp.33433074852249	What I want to know is this: What was the something that, deep in her mind, told her that trouble was coming?
nyp.33433074852249	What I wonder is, were these three persons in the room at one and the same time?"
nyp.33433074852249	What are we going to do?
nyp.33433074852249	What could it mean?
nyp.33433074852249	What did Bartley expect to find in it anyway, but a lot of bones?
nyp.33433074852249	What do you mean by'other things that were brought to your at- tention?'"
nyp.33433074852249	What do you say to going and finding out what it means?"
nyp.33433074852249	What had been the per- son's reason for doing it?
nyp.33433074852249	What had he come to the vault for?
nyp.33433074852249	What is it?"
nyp.33433074852249	What kind?"
nyp.33433074852249	What more do you want?"
nyp.33433074852249	What then?"
nyp.33433074852249	What time was it?
nyp.33433074852249	What was the cause of her fear?"
nyp.33433074852249	What were they doing in that room?
nyp.33433074852249	When the butler had left us, Bartley said to Currie,"I presume that this is the room where they found the burglars?"
nyp.33433074852249	Who could this second man be?
nyp.33433074852249	Why did he stay here all the year round?"
nyp.33433074852249	Why did n't the dog bark?
nyp.33433074852249	Why not 10 OUT OF THE DARKNESS start at the beginning and tell me what this crime was?"
nyp.33433074852249	Why not work together, you along your line, I along mine?
nyp.33433074852249	Why should King want to see us at such an early hour in the morning, and above all at Slyke's?
nyp.33433074852249	Would Bart- ley still be able to prove that he had been murdered?
nyp.33433074852249	Yes, it seems foolish, doesn't it?
nyp.33433074852249	You remember those little drawings I found on the magazine in Slyke's room, the row of connected circles?
nyp.33433074852249	You thought he had committed suicide?''
mdp.39015086852178	"What do you think? ” said he. mdp.39015086852178 +"Only a week, sir?"
mdp.39015086852178	6Oh, you do, do you? ” he snarled.
mdp.39015086852178	And where was it?
mdp.39015086852178	Any message for me?' mdp.39015086852178 Any news? ” he asked, eagerly.
mdp.39015086852178	Can you tell me what place this is?' mdp.39015086852178 Did she ever talk of revisiting the place?"

mdp.39015086852178	Hullo, what is this? ” The double track turned sharp off and took the direction of King's Pyland.
mdp.39015086852178	I do n't know what to do, and my whole life seems to have gone to pieces. ” “ You wish to employ me as a consulting detective?"
mdp.39015086852178	I pre- sume that you have looked into this matter of the murder of John Straker and the disappearance of Silver Blaze?"
mdp.39015086852178	I should be glad to come. ” “ And to start to- morrow morning? ” “ If necessary. ” Oh yes, it is most necessary.
mdp.39015086852178	I should wish nothing better than to have some more of such experiences. ” “ To- day, for example?"
mdp.39015086852178	I think I would risk a little sporting flutter that you do n't go there at all. ” “ Not go to Mawson's?"
mdp.39015086852178	I wonder how many real amber mouthpieces there are in London?
mdp.39015086852178	If he refuses, we have no alternative but to apply for a warrant. ” “ But how do you know he'll be there when we return?"

mdp.39015086852178	Into this you will step, and you will reach Victoria in time for the Continental express. ” “ Where shall I meet you? ” “ At the station.
mdp.39015086852178	Is it a fact that at the weights Bayard could give the other a hundred yards in five furlongs, and that the stable have put their money on him?'
mdp.39015086852178	Is there any other point which I can make clear?"
mdp.39015086852178	Is there anything further which I can explain, Dr. Tre- velyan?"
mdp.39015086852178	Is this Mr. Melas, Harold?'
mdp.39015086852178	It has shaken me most dread- fully. ” “ When did you find it out? ” “ He has a cup of tea taken in to him early every morning.
mdp.39015086852178	It may prove the simplest matter in the world, but all the same at first glance this is just a little curious, is it not?
mdp.39015086852178	It was incredible to me that he could have gone away leaving all his property behind him, and yet where could he be?
mdp.39015086852178	It would be of the greatest use to me to have them. ” “ Surely there are classified lists?"
mdp.39015086852178	May I ask how I can help you?"
mdp.39015086852178	Meanwhile I have already set inquiries on foot. ” Already?"
mdp.39015086852178	Might I ask for a photograph of Mr. John Straker? ” The Inspector took one from an envelope and handed it to him.
mdp.39015086852178	Might I trouble you for a match? ” He drew in the smoke of THE FINAL PROBLEM 241 over.
mdp.39015086852178	More in your brains than in your pocket, eh?
mdp.39015086852178	Moriarty?"
mdp.39015086852178	No great damage done, but the fellows are still at large. ” “ No clue? ” asked Holmes, cocking his eye at the Colonel.
mdp.39015086852178	No, an ar- rest is inadmissible. ” “ What then?"
mdp.39015086852178	Not drawn towards drink, eh?'
mdp.39015086852178	Not the drains, I hope?"
mdp.39015086852178	Now I am sure that you would not be too proud to earn the price of a new dress, would you?'
mdp.39015086852178	Now, supposing that he broke away during or after the trag- edy, where could he have gone to?
mdp.39015086852178	Or bow could the coarse, rough woman whom I had seen the day be- fore be connected with her?
mdp.39015086852178	Or could it be that there was a prearranged significance to such phrases as'fly- paper'and'hen- pheasant'?
mdp.39015086852178	Or did it come through the post?"
mdp.39015086852178	Or had some sudden blow from her hand dashed the support away and sent the slab crashing down into its place?
mdp.39015086852178	Or was it an accident?
mdp.39015086852178	Or was it some one who was with the thief who did it in order to prevent the crime?
mdp.39015086852178	Or was it?"
mdp.39015086852178	SILVER BLAZE 13 Perhaps you would prefer at once to go on to the scene of the crime, Mr. Holmes?"
mdp.39015086852178	Shall we argue about it here in public or talk it over in your parlor?"
mdp.39015086852178	Should I change it first or not? ” Holmes thought a little and then burst out laughing.
mdp.39015086852178	Silver Blaze e?"
mdp.39015086852178	Straker was brought back here, I presume?"
mdp.39015086852178	THE REIGATE PUZZLE 117 “ he's “ Who shot him, then?"
mdp.39015086852178	That is all plain enough. ” “ But why should this man pretend to be his own brother? ” “ Well, that is pretty clear also.
mdp.39015086852178	The J. P. or his son?"
mdp.39015086852178	The inquest is to- morrow. ” “ He has been in your service some years, Colonel Ross?"
mdp.39015086852178	The man must value the pipe highly when he prefers to patch it up rather than buy a new one with the same money. ” “ Anything else?"
mdp.39015086852178	Then, “ Who shall have it?"
mdp.39015086852178	There are no other elms?'
mdp.39015086852178	There were no marks, then, though the night was a wet one?
mdp.39015086852178	This I presume is your celebrated friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes? ” I introduced him in a few words, and we both sat down.
mdp.39015086852178	Was it a chance that the wood had slipped, and that the stone had shut Brunton into what had become his sepulchre?
mdp.39015086852178	Was it the thief who did it out of bra- vado?
mdp.39015086852178	Watson, this knife is surely in your line? ” “ It is what we call a cataract knife,"said I.
mdp.39015086852178	We examined it very care- fully, but found no outline of any footmark. ” “ Had it been raining all evening?"
mdp.39015086852178	We shall settle it now once and for all. ” “ What is your plan, then? ” asked Holmes, as he walked down the dark tree- lined road.
mdp.39015086852178	What ails you?
mdp.39015086852178	What are you going to take, Mr. Phelps- curried fowl or eggs, or will you help yourself?"

mdp.39015086852178	What can be done now?
mdp.39015086852178	What can be done now?
mdp.39015086852178	What chemist sold him the powdered opium?
mdp.39015086852178	What could he practise on?
mdp.39015086852178	What did you do next? ”"We examined the room also.
mdp.39015086852178	What do you make of the other?"
mdp.39015086852178	What do you mean?'
mdp.39015086852178	What do you say, Wat- son? ” I shrugged my shoulders.
mdp.39015086852178	What do you think of my the- ory?"
mdp.39015086852178	What does he want, then?'
mdp.39015086852178	What had she done with that?
mdp.39015086852178	What has caused it?'
mdp.39015086852178	What has the vil- lain been doing here?'

mdp.39015086852178	What is it for?"
mdp.39015086852178	What is it, then?'
mdp.39015086852178	What is it?"
mdp.39015086852178	What is the case?"

msu.31293008050829	> Wheu I am totally prostrated( did I mention that I was totally prostrated by Marian ’s letter?
msu.31293008050829	A nice tart for dinner?
msu.31293008050829	A stranger to Mrs. Catherick, as well as to the rest of the neighbours? ” “ So we thought at first, sir.
msu.31293008050829	A stranger? ” “ Not a stranger, Walter.
msu.31293008050829	Am I expected to say anything more?
msu.31293008050829	Am I trifling, here, with the necessities of my task?
msu.31293008050829	And between these entries, at the bottom of the page —?
msu.31293008050829	And what do you think was the some- thing?
msu.31293008050829	And why are their faces so sadly unfinished, especially about the corners of the eyelids?
msu.31293008050829	Are you as fond of me, Walter, as you used to be, now I am so pale and'thin, and so slow in- learning to draw?"
msu.31293008050829	Are you aware, whenI present this illustrious baby to your notice, in whose presence you stand?
msu.31293008050829	Are you beginning to doubt whether Sir Percival Glyde may not, in the end, he more than a match for me?
msu.31293008050829	Are you thinking a little too seriously, Marian, of the risk I may run in returning to Hampshire?
msu.31293008050829	As long as a man do n't give at his legs, there ’s a deal of work left in him.- Do n’t you think so, yourself, sir?"
msu.31293008050829	Awretched place this, is n’t it, sir?
msu.31293008050829	Bless you, we do n’t march with the timesl"“ What is there in the packing- cases?"
msu.31293008050829	Both of them were in fault — I am afraid both of them were equally in fault. ” “ You mean both husband and wife? ” “ Oh, no, sir!
msu.31293008050829	But are you really determined to go to Welmingham?"
msu.31293008050829	But if anything happens — ” “ What can happen? ” she interposed, quickly.
msu.31293008050829	But surely there were beams still left in the dismantled cottages near the church?
msu.31293008050829	But what rules the mind?
msu.31293008050829	But where was the register to be found?
msu.31293008050829	But why do Young Persons in service all perspire at the hands?
msu.31293008050829	Catherick should take up with a chance stranger like Sir Percival Glyde. ’ ‘ Ay, but is he a stranger to her? ’ says my husband.
msu.31293008050829	Could Mrs. Catherick‘s assertion that she was the victim of a dreadful mistake, by any possibility be true?
msu.31293008050829	Did he come to the house?"
msu.31293008050829	Did he know where we lived?
msu.31293008050829	Did no suspicion, excited by my own knowledge of Anne Catherick‘s resemblance to her cross my mind, when her face was first revealed to me?
msu.31293008050829	Did she ever suspect whose child the little girl brought to her at Limmeridge might be?
msu.31293008050829	Did we think he looked as if he wanted hur- rying into his grave?
msu.31293008050829	Did you see anything particular in my face when you left me?
msu.31293008050829	Do her shoes creak?"
msu.31293008050829	Do the servants recognise her?
msu.31293008050829	Do you agree to that, Marian, so far?"
msu.31293008050829	Do you hear? ” cried the old man, shaking the lantern at me, in his agitation; “ the keys are gone!"
msu.31293008050829	Do you know that name? ” “ Not I, Walter.
msu.31293008050829	Do you know where I am going to?"
msu.31293008050829	Do you think Mr. Dawson is wrong?
msu.31293008050829	Do you want to make any more objections?
msu.31293008050829	Does Miss Halcombe assert her supposed sister‘s identity to the owner of the Asylum, and take legal means for rescuing her?
msu.31293008050829	Does she stand better with her tradespeoplc than I do with mine?
msu.31293008050829	Eighteen hundred and what?"
msu.31293008050829	Either his mother ’s birth had been low?
msu.31293008050829	Had he lunched; and, if so, upon what?
msu.31293008050829	Had we really got rid of him?
msu.31293008050829	Has she always lived within her income?
msu.31293008050829	Has she got a better Bible on her table than I have got 0n mine?
msu.31293008050829	Has that new heresy of the highest medical authorities everreached your ears — Yes, or No?"
msu.31293008050829	Have I not carefully avoided exposing my- self to the odium of committing unnecessary crime?
msu.31293008050829	Have I satisfied your curiosity?
msu.31293008050829	Have you nothing more to tell me?"
msu.31293008050829	Have you questions to address to me?
msu.31293008050829	Have you?"
msu.31293008050829	He's vestry- clerk here now, as his father was before him. ” “ Did you not tell me your former master lived at Knowles- bury?"
msu.31293008050829	How can I pay my debt?
msu.31293008050829	How does your speculation look now?
msu.31293008050829	How had I come to hear of the copy?
msu.31293008050829	How is Miss Halcombe?"
msu.31293008050829	How is the sufferer, Mrs. Michelson?"
msu.31293008050829	I am not quite sure that I know what a vestry- clerk is. ” “ Do n’t you indeed, sir?
msu.31293008050829	I count from to- morrow —"“ Why from to- morrow?"
msu.31293008050829	I must tell you this, that, and the other about Sir Percival and myself, must I?
msu.31293008050829	I never saw her again, poor soul, till the night she escaped from the madhouse. ” “ You know, Mrs. Clements, why Sir Percival Glyde shut her up?
msu.31293008050829	I sit confused. ” Was it at this point thatI began to suspect he was going to bore me?
msu.31293008050829	I suppose the clergyman who ofliciated here in the year eigh- teen hundred and three is no longer alive?"
msu.31293008050829	I was too violently startled to be quite sure. ” “ Who was the other man?
msu.31293008050829	If Anne Catherick had not died when she did, what should I have done?
msu.31293008050829	If I could get speech of him, that night, if I could show him that I, too, knew of the mortal peril in which he stood, what result would follow?
msu.31293008050829	If she had not been well enough to be moved, do you think we should any of us have risked letting her go?
msu.31293008050829	If we broke open the door, might we save him?
msu.31293008050829	If we can prove that date, we prove our case against Sir Percival and the Count. ”- “ Yes, yes —- I seel But how is the proof to be obtained?"
msu.31293008050829	If we had been rich enough to find legal help, what would have been the result?
msu.31293008050829	In the name of Heaven, what have I said, or done, to make you think me the messenger of death?"
msu.31293008050829	Is be famous?
msu.31293008050829	Is it a chance at all?"
msu.31293008050829	Is it accepted — Yes, or No?"
msu.31293008050829	Is it necessary to say that she expressed her sense of embarrass ‘ ment by shutting up her mouth and breathing through her nose?
msu.31293008050829	Is it necessary to say what my first impression was, when I looked at my visitor's card?
msu.31293008050829	Is it wise to proceed to these extremities, before you have really exhausted all safer and simpler means of attaining your object?
msu.31293008050829	Is language adequate to describe it?
msu.31293008050829	Is she kept in the neighbourhoud to assert her own identity, and to stand the test of further pro- ceedings?
msu.31293008050829	Is that all?"
msu.31293008050829	Is that it? ” “ There can be no positive objection, Sir Percival, to that reason —"“ Very well!
msu.31293008050829	Is the nurse there?
msu.31293008050829	Is there a civilized human being who does not feel for us?
msu.31293008050829	Is this clear to you as crystal?
msu.31293008050829	Is your mother alive?
msu.31293008050829	Kyrle?"
msu.31293008050829	May I inquire why?
msu.31293008050829	May I make a suggestion, at once the simplest and the most profound?
msu.31293008050829	My cockatoo, my canaries, and my little mice —- who will cherish them, when their good Papa is gone?"
msu.31293008050829	Need I say more?
msu.31293008050829	Neither the name nor the man is known to me. ” “ Are you quite sure you do n't recognise him?
msu.31293008050829	On a calm revision of all the circum- stances- Is my conduct worthy of any serious blame?
msu.31293008050829	On the other hand, if the second case supposed were the true one, what had been the flaw in her reputation?
msu.31293008050829	Or had he followed the Count home from the Opera?
msu.31293008050829	Or, assuming it to be false, could the conclusion which associated Sir Percival with her guilt have been founded in some inconceivable error?
msu.31293008050829	Ought we to appeal to the practical test of her handwriting?
msu.31293008050829	Perhaps you were in some degree prepared to hear this?
msu.31293008050829	Shall I order for you, shall I market for you, Mrs. Cook?
msu.31293008050829	Should I go back to the house, and make another attempt to see her?
msu.31293008050829	Surely not?
msu.31293008050829	Surely she never remained in the village, among the people who knew of her disgrace?"
msu.31293008050829	Surely, I am not expected to repeat my niece ’s maid's explanation of her tears, interpreted in the English of my Swiss valet?
msu.31293008050829	Take her in, Mrs. Rubelle( you have got your key?
msu.31293008050829	Tears or perspiration?
msu.31293008050829	Tell me, can I do this?"
msu.31293008050829	The best men are not consistent in good — why should the worst men be consistent in evil?
msu.31293008050829	The breaking- up of the family?
msu.31293008050829	The money dribbled in a little at first — but what can you expect out of London?
msu.31293008050829	The only consideration which made him hesitate, at the last moment-—- ” “ Yes? ” “ It is hard to acknowledge it, Walter — and yet I must!
msu.31293008050829	The only question I asked myself was-~ Had he found her?
msu.31293008050829	The son( who can blame him?)
msu.31293008050829	Then, why hurry him?"
msu.31293008050829	There are two places of that name, then, in Hampshire?"
msu.31293008050829	To be re- paired? ” “ That‘s it, sir.
msu.31293008050829	Was he in the Forest- road by accident?
msu.31293008050829	Was it her shoes, her stays, or her bones?
msu.31293008050829	Was it my fault that she had lost her place?)
msu.31293008050829	Was it possible that appearances, in this case, had pointed one way, while the truth lay, all the while, unsuspected, in another direction?
msu.31293008050829	Was it the sort of funeral she might have bad, if she had really been my own child?"
msu.31293008050829	What are we( I ask) but puppets in a show- box?
msu.31293008050829	What are you making there?
msu.31293008050829	What did the Count say of me?"
msu.31293008050829	What did this mean?
msu.31293008050829	What do you demand?"
msu.31293008050829	What do you mean? ”'“ What I say. ” The perspiration broke out thickly on his broad forehead.
msu.31293008050829	What does he do when he dies?
msu.31293008050829	What does she do with those consequences?
msu.31293008050829	What evidence have you to support the declaration on your side that the person who died and was buried was not Lady Glyde?
msu.31293008050829	What had been the nature of the crime?
msu.31293008050829	What have you to set against them?
msu.31293008050829	What if we got one, and used it as a battering- ram against the door?
msu.31293008050829	What is the inevitable consequence?
msu.31293008050829	What keys do you mean?"
msu.31293008050829	What progress had I made towards discovering the suspected stain on the reputation of Sir Percival ’s mother?
msu.31293008050829	What reason?
msu.31293008050829	What right had I to decide, in my poor mortal ignorance of the future, that this man, too, must escape with impunity, because he escaped me?
msu.31293008050829	What suggestions of any mystery unexplained had arisen out of my visit to the vestry?
msu.31293008050829	What the deuce should I know about it?
msu.31293008050829	What was I to do next?
msu.31293008050829	What was I to do?
msu.31293008050829	What will the Count say?
msu.31293008050829	When do you want to go?
msu.31293008050829	When the patient has been released in this doubtful manner, and is taken to Mr. Fairlie, does he recognise her?
msu.31293008050829	When?
msu.31293008050829	Where did I leave off?
msu.31293008050829	Where is the modern Rembrandt who could depict our midnight procession?
msu.31293008050829	Which of them is it?"
msu.31293008050829	Which year did you say, sir?
msu.31293008050829	Who can have taken them?
msu.31293008050829	Who can have told you? ” “ N 0 one has told me, Mrs. Clements.
msu.31293008050829	Who could I find capable of travelling to London bythe train she travelled by, and of privately seeing her home?
msu.31293008050829	Who was the Count expected to find, in the course of his stu~ dious morning rambles at Blackwater Park?
msu.31293008050829	Why alarm me as well as himself?
msu.31293008050829	Why ca n’t I make other people as careful as I am my- self?
msu.31293008050829	Why do you point him out? ”"“ Because I have particular reasons for wishing to know something of him.
msu.31293008050829	Why have they all got fat noses, and hard cheeks?
msu.31293008050829	Why have we no variety in our breed of Young Persons?
msu.31293008050829	Why is n’t it kept in an iron safe?
msu.31293008050829	Why is there nothing I can do?
msu.31293008050829	Why lay her on my shoulders?
msu.31293008050829	Why should I?
msu.31293008050829	Why this outburst?
msu.31293008050829	Why this withering eloquence?
msu.31293008050829	Will that do as well?
msu.31293008050829	Will you keep my secret, and help me in this?
msu.31293008050829	Will you rest and lunch down stairs?
msu.31293008050829	Will you try to forgive me, Percival, as heartily as I forgive you?"
msu.31293008050829	Would it not be far easier, and far less dangerous, to insist on a confession from'her, than to force it from Sir Percival?"
msu.31293008050829	Would success in both these cases do more than supply an excellent foundation for a trial in a court of law?
msu.31293008050829	Yes, indeed?
msu.31293008050829	You are aware that he had me watched be- fore I left England; and that he probably knows me by sight, although I do n’t know him?"

msu.31293008050829	You have heard, Walter, of the political Societies that are hidden in every great city on the continent of Europe?
msu.31293008050829	You heard him say that he was a lost man if the secret of Anne Catherick was known?"
msu.31293008050829	You heard him tell the Count that he be- lieved his wife knew enough to ruin him?
msu.31293008050829	You know the old Elizabethan bedrooms?
msu.31293008050829	You look worn and weary, Walter — — I am afraid my letter must have seriously alarmed you? ” “ Only at first, ” I replied.
msu.31293008050829	You understand?
msu.31293008050829	You want something of me?"
msu.31293008050829	You were a little boy, I suppose, in the year twenty- seven?

msu.31293008050829	“ Do you be- lieve in dreams?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you happen to know,"I said, “ if Sir Percival Glyde is still in Paris? ” “ He has returned to London,"replied Mr. Kyrle.
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you hear? ” he roared out; “ leave the room. ” “ Speak to me civilly, ” says she, getting red in the face.
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you know that man?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you know who this is, Walter?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you leave to- day? ” I asked, to make sure of her.
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you mean, Sir Percival, that I am to dismiss the indoor servants, under my charge, without the usual month ’s warning?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you still refuse to trust me? ” I asked.
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you still tell me to go?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you suppose there are any secrets going on here?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Do you talk in that familiar manner of one of the landed gentry of England?
msu.31293008050829	“ Does he know anything about the keys?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Dsuee- what- the- deucol how can I help you, Walter, when I don‘t know the man?
msu.31293008050829	“ Eleanor, my good wife, are you all ready, upstairs?
msu.31293008050829	“ For the Lord's sake, sir! ” she said, “ what do you want with Mrs. Catherick?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Has Lady Glyde been in the room since?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Has the fever turned to infection?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Have you forgotten the letter he wrote to her, at the beginning of her illness?
msu.31293008050829	“ Have you found what you wanted, sir?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Have you got your pickaxes handy? ” Yes; they had.
msu.31293008050829	“ Have you taken them?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Her master ’s compli- ments, and would I be so obliging as to say what my business was?"
msu.31293008050829	“ How can it be stronger? ” she asked.
msu.31293008050829	“ How far is it to Knowlesbury from this place?"
msu.31293008050829	“ How was he to know that his niece was alive, when he was told that she was dead?
msu.31293008050829	“ How?
msu.31293008050829	“ How? ” “ I shall go to Blackwater by the first train; and retuni, I hope at night."
msu.31293008050829	“ I do — and I mean to have it. ” “ On conditions? ” “ On no conditions."
msu.31293008050829	“ I saw him yesterday; and, worse than that, Walter — I spoke to him. ” “ Spoke to him?
msu.31293008050829	“ I see him to- day for the first time, and the last. ” “ I am afraid he has brought you had neWs?"
msu.31293008050829	“ I suppose you often saw Sir Percival, when he was in your village?"
msu.31293008050829	“ If'you do, why should you be surprised at her leaving you?
msu.31293008050829	“ In our homely English phrase, Count Fosco, wo n’t they keep?
msu.31293008050829	“ In some degree. ” “ In what degree?
msu.31293008050829	“ Is it absolutely necessary to refer to these unpleasant matters? ” I inquired.
msu.31293008050829	“ Is it infectious? ” “ Not at present,"he answered, with detestable com~ posure.
msu.31293008050829	“ Is that considered a sufficiently secure place for the register? ” I inquired.
msu.31293008050829	“ It would have broken my heart,"she said, simply, “ if Anne had not been nicely buried — but, how do you know it, sir?
msu.31293008050829	“ Louis,"I said, “ do you think he would go away, if you gave him five shillings?"
msu.31293008050829	“ May I inquire whether Mr. Gilmore is in England?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Must I really hear them?"
msu.31293008050829	“ My friend, what can I do?"
msu.31293008050829	“ No. ” “ You are afraid? ” “ Do I look as ifI was?"
msu.31293008050829	“ No. ” “ You are afraid? ” “ Do I look as ifI was?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Oh, sir, ” she said, “ how do you know it?
msu.31293008050829	“ Old Wehningham?
msu.31293008050829	“ On a matter of life and death? ” he repeated to himself.
msu.31293008050829	“ Perhaps you will not mind delivering it?
msu.31293008050829	“ Sir Percival Glyde?
msu.31293008050829	“ So you know why I am leaving London?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Surely, Walter, ” she said, “ you hardly know enough yet to give you any hope of claiming Mrs. Catherick ’s con- fidence?
msu.31293008050829	“ Surely, a book of such importance as this ought to be protected by a better lock, and kept care- fully in an iron safe?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Tell me plainly, Mrs. Michelson, did you think she looked fit to travel?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Then, young Mr. Wansborough is a lawyer, I sup- pose?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Very well, thank you, sir. ” “ And Lady Glyde?
msu.31293008050829	“ Was her husband able and willing to help her?"
msu.31293008050829	“ We might be tidier, might n't we, sir? ” said the cheerful rsn woman m warm.
msu.31293008050829	“ Well, Mrs. Michelson, ” he said; “ you have found it out at last — have you?
msu.31293008050829	“ Were you and Mrs. Catherick neighbours? ” I inquired, leading her memory on, as encouragingly as I could.
msu.31293008050829	“ What are you thinking of, Laura?
msu.31293008050829	“ What became of Sir Percival? ” I inquired.
msu.31293008050829	“ What do you know of those events? ” she asked.
msu.31293008050829	“ What do you suspect? ” “ I ’ll tell you whatI do n’t suspect.
msu.31293008050829	“ What do you think of that for a woman with a lost character?
msu.31293008050829	“ What does Lady Glyde ’s maid want with me?"
msu.31293008050829	“ What does it mean, Sir Percival?
msu.31293008050829	“ What events do you mean?"
msu.31293008050829	“ What has led you to that conclusion?"
msu.31293008050829	“ What is the matter, ma’am?"
msu.31293008050829	“ What is the purport of all this?"
msu.31293008050829	“ What is your opinion of the fever?"
msu.31293008050829	“ What keys? ” I repeated.
msu.31293008050829	“ What reservation may that be? ” he asked.
msu.31293008050829	“ When did the change happen?"
msu.31293008050829	“ When did you show yourself in the garden?"
msu.31293008050829	“ When do you want to go?"
msu.31293008050829	“ When the time comes? ” she repeated.
msu.31293008050829	“ When? ” “ To- morrow."
msu.31293008050829	“ Where are the keys?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Where can you stay more properly in London, than at the place your uncle himself chooses for you-- at your aunt ’s house?
msu.31293008050829	“ Where is Miss Halcombe?
msu.31293008050829	“ Where is he?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Where was the doctor?
msu.31293008050829	“ Which man, my friend? ” “ The tall, fat man, standing there, with his face to- wards us."
msu.31293008050829	“ Which way after that, sir? ” asked the clerk.
msu.31293008050829	“ Who is Fanny?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Who's that? ” whispered the clerk.
msu.31293008050829	“ Why are you leaving my service?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Why should you write to Count Fosco?"
msu.31293008050829	“ Will you give me a letter saying those words, which Ican show to my sweetheart, when he asks how I got the money? ” inquired the woman.
msu.31293008050829	“ Will your ladyship excuse me,"I whispered, “ if I suggest that we had better not wait here till Sir Percival comes back?
msu.31293008050829	“ With your opinion of the conduct of those two gentle- men,"he said, “ you do n’t expect help in that quarter, I presume?
msu.31293008050829	“ Would you like to come out with me, in the mean time?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You are afraid of Sir Percival Glyde. ” “ Am 1?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You are not tired of me yet?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You ca n’t believe it, can you? ” he said, mock- ingly.
msu.31293008050829	“ You expected to meet your master here?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You have a letter for me, from Miss Halcombe?
msu.31293008050829	“ You have a reason, Walter, for wishing her to know of her husband ’s death, besides the reason you have just men- tioned?
msu.31293008050829	“ You hesitate? ” he said.
msu.31293008050829	“ You know your correspondent?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You seem to be on- the point of taking a journey? ” “ Is your business connected with my j ourney?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You seem to be on- the point of taking a journey? ” “ Is your business connected with my j ourney?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You still persist in your lowering treatment of this case of fever?"
msu.31293008050829	“ You wo n’t trust me?"
msu.31293008050829	“'Was the Count pointing out the house to him? ” “ No; they were talking together as if they had accident- ally met in the street.
msu.31293008050829	“'You are not going away because you are tired of me?
msu.31293008050829	” “ I have. ” “ A reason connected with that subject which must not be mentioned between us yet?
nyp.33433074902820	76 THE HUNT BALL MYSTERY “ Sorry? ” Henshaw caught up the word quickly.
nyp.33433074902820	? ’ “ Yes; he mentioned him on our way from the station the other evening.
nyp.33433074902820	? ” Again Gifford's tone gave a check to Kel- son's enthusiasm.
nyp.33433074902820	Alfred mentioned this morning that the door was locked and the key taken away; we thought you must have locked it, sir. ” “ I?
nyp.33433074902820	Besides, who would be likely to want to play tricks here?
nyp.33433074902820	Did the doctor examine the body? ” “ He made a cursory examination.
nyp.33433074902820	Did the doctor say suicide? ” “ I did not hear him express a definite opinion.
nyp.33433074902820	Do n't you agree, Edith?''
nyp.33433074902820	GIFFORD's REWARD 303 day is the 16th; on this day month I shall hear from you? ” “ Yes, on the I6th, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074902820	Had Gifford, his mind obsessed by Henshaw, jumped to a false conclusion?
nyp.33433074902820	His brother?
nyp.33433074902820	I know you played tennis with him. ” “ Did I? ” Miss Tredworth replied.
nyp.33433074902820	What did it portend?
nyp.33433074902820	What do you think?
nyp.33433074902820	Why should I?
nyp.33433074902820	Why? ” “ I feel it is a mistake. ” Kelson laughed.
nyp.33433074902820	Why? ” “ Only that it must have been you I saw with him. ” “ And can you throw any light on the mystery 2 ” Morriston asked.
nyp.33433074902820	Will you see for your- self, sir?"
nyp.33433074902820	Would they turn and put theman's identity beyonduncertainty?
nyp.33433074902820	Wrong type of sports- man, eh? ” “ Decidedly.
nyp.33433074902820	You are staying at the Lion? ”- “ Yes. ”- “ Not more than ten or twelve minutes'drive.
nyp.33433074902820	You know he proposed at the dance? ” “ Yes, I understood that.
nyp.33433074902820	“ And you? ” “ I was too, ” she said, conquering her embarrassment, “ but I have a headache, and prefer the fresh air.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Any news at the Lion?
nyp.33433074902820	“ Are you sure? ” “ Quite. ” Gifford appealed to the porter, who regretfully confirmed the statement.
nyp.33433074902820	“ But we do n’t know yet that it is a case of suicide. ” “ What else? ” Kelson returned.
nyp.33433074902820	“ But why?
nyp.33433074902820	“ Can you see this gentleman, sir? ” he said.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Do you suppose a woman killed your brother? ” he almost gasped.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Fear him 2 What do you mean? ” “ We thought he might be unscrupulous and might make himself objectionablé. ” She shrugged.
nyp.33433074902820	“ For my sake, or yours? ” he rejoined.
nyp.33433074902820	“ How had the wound — clearly a fatal one — been caused?
nyp.33433074902820	“ How — how can he be dead 2 How did he die?
nyp.33433074902820	“ I Suppose he did not do that, unknown to you? ” he asked the landlord.
nyp.33433074902820	“ My dear Hugh, ” he exclaimed impatiently, “ what is the matter with you?
nyp.33433074902820	“ No; what is that? ” in a tone almost of unconcern.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Suicide?
nyp.33433074902820	“ That was all you saw of my unfortunate brother? ” he demanded at the end.
nyp.33433074902820	“ The deuce you did Where did you go to? ” º “ Oh, nowhere particular, ” Gifford answered rather evasively.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Then you know — you saw what hap- pened? ” He bowed his head in assent.
nyp.33433074902820	“ To- day? ” “ No; last time I was up here.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Well, Mr. Dipper, any news of your missing guest?"
nyp.33433074902820	“ What is it, Stent 2 ” “ Could I speak to you, sir? ” the man said, stopping short a little distance away.
nyp.33433074902820	“ What makes you think he would do that? ” she returned.
nyp.33433074902820	“ Where he was a stranger?
nyp.33433074902820	“ Why not 2 ”- “ To Miss — the girl you were dancing With?
nyp.33433074902820	“ Why, Hugh, ” he said in an expostulatory tone, “ what is the matter with you?
nyp.33433074902820	“ Why, good heavens, what do you mean? ” he gasped.
nyp.33433074902820	“ You drove here together?
nyp.33433074902820	“ ‘ You would not? ” he snapped viciously.
njp.32101065596387	A real man who got into my room and stood there glar- ing at me? njp.32101065596387 After mature reflection, do you still believe that that was the actual cause of death in this instance?"
njp.32101065596387	And had you any sort of misadventure on the way; anything that seemed like an acci- dent?
njp.32101065596387	And have you any objection to telling me on what you base that certainty?
njp.32101065596387	And is the office clock generally right?
njp.32101065596387	And she announced, did n't she, that she was going in the surface cars? njp.32101065596387 And then did you walk straight to the door and open it?"
njp.32101065596387	And was there anything unusual or abnor- mal about his manner?
njp.32101065596387	And what did you do then when you had looked at your watch?
njp.32101065596387	And you believed all the while,I repeated incredulously,"that McWilliams was the man?"
njp.32101065596387	And you heard nothing?
njp.32101065596387	And you in yours?
njp.32101065596387	And you saw it often, did you?
njp.32101065596387	Anything wrong?
njp.32101065596387	Are you able,the coroner continued,"to produce the broken point of your own needle?"
njp.32101065596387	At her?
njp.32101065596387	Both those buttons were on his desk?
njp.32101065596387	But do n't you know where she is?
njp.32101065596387	But does an actor's excitement last after the first minute or two?
njp.32101065596387	But how?
njp.32101065596387	But if the voices were raised, as if in anger?
njp.32101065596387	But what's that you say about yourself: that you can spot a criminal in the same way, just by looking at him?
njp.32101065596387	But you can guess?
njp.32101065596387	But you do know of one?
njp.32101065596387	Ca n't you trust me with the whole story now? njp.32101065596387 Can I take her now, Clifford, this instant?"
njp.32101065596387	Can you fix the time, with any degree of ac- curacy, when Dr. Armstrong came into your shop?
njp.32101065596387	Can you listen while I tell you something?
njp.32101065596387	Can you tell me when she left?
njp.32101065596387	Cliff, do I have to pretend with you? njp.32101065596387 Could one of them get out of order and stop?"
njp.32101065596387	Could you hear, as a rule,the coroner asked,"when he opened the door and let a pa- tient out?"
njp.32101065596387	D'you mean, have I iver seen it before? njp.32101065596387 Did he answer the ring?"
njp.32101065596387	Did he call you at any time during yester- day morning?
njp.32101065596387	Did he remain in that chair throughout your whole interview?
njp.32101065596387	Did this errand of yours take you very far away?
njp.32101065596387	Did you ever hear of a case, doctor— it was the coroner who spoke —"of this poison being used upon a human being?"
njp.32101065596387	Did you find him, Jack?
njp.32101065596387	Did you hear anything in Dr. Marshall's office to arouse your suspicion that all was not well there?
njp.32101065596387	Did you know that I was once a newspaper artist?
njp.32101065596387	Did you mean it? njp.32101065596387 Did you see him for more than a mo- ment?"
njp.32101065596387	Did you see him this morning?
njp.32101065596387	Do n't you know who it was?
njp.32101065596387	Do n't you remember? njp.32101065596387 Do you advise me to lie,"she concluded,"or dare I tell the truth?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you call that a support?
njp.32101065596387	Do you hear?
njp.32101065596387	Do you know what time it was when you admitted her to Dr. Marshall's office?
njp.32101065596387	Do you know what time it was when you left your office?
njp.32101065596387	Do you know who it was he saw?
njp.32101065596387	Do you mean his wife?
njp.32101065596387	Do you mean it?
njp.32101065596387	Do you mean really clear, or only that you have found a reasonable doubt in my favor?
njp.32101065596387	Do you mind if I make a suggestion?
njp.32101065596387	Do you mind sitting down in it?
njp.32101065596387	Do you think she'll come?
njp.32101065596387	Do you think so?
njp.32101065596387	Does — does Mrs. Marshall know the facts you have told me?
njp.32101065596387	Dr. Armstrong talked to you in a perfectly natural, spontaneous way, did he?
njp.32101065596387	Drew, did you mean what you said?
njp.32101065596387	Gwendolen Carr, a slender frail little thing like that?
njp.32101065596387	Had he any other push buttons in his office besides the one which rang at your desk?
njp.32101065596387	Had she ever come to consult Dr. Marshall before?
njp.32101065596387	Happened to whom?
njp.32101065596387	Hard for me?
njp.32101065596387	Has Jack come home?
njp.32101065596387	Has he told you anything about that? njp.32101065596387 Has she told you anything?"
njp.32101065596387	Have n't you a pipe somewhere, Drew?
njp.32101065596387	Have they held Armstrong?
njp.32101065596387	Have you any theory regarding it,I asked,"now that Pomeroy is eliminated?"
njp.32101065596387	Have you been able to determine,asked the coroner,"in what manner it was admin- istered?"
njp.32101065596387	Have you let him give you the slip?
njp.32101065596387	Have you read to- day's pa- pers?
njp.32101065596387	Have you something dreadful to tell me?
njp.32101065596387	Have you something to tell me?
njp.32101065596387	Have you talked to her?
njp.32101065596387	He had every reason to believe that you were in the adjoining room, subject to call, as long as he remained in his office?
njp.32101065596387	He went to his office at his usual time?
njp.32101065596387	How about his voice? njp.32101065596387 How could he have known anything about it?
njp.32101065596387	How in the world,I asked when the door closed behind us,"did you happen to think of it — the trap, I mean?"
njp.32101065596387	How long had you been at it,I asked,"when you met Jack?"
njp.32101065596387	How long is it,I asked,"since you have had anything to eat — since you've really eaten any- thing, I mean?"
njp.32101065596387	I hope he may,she said, in a voice little above a whisper;"oh, how I hope he may 1"Was her little exclamation spontaneous or calculated?
njp.32101065596387	I still do n't see exactly what he meant to do; what could he hope to do, unless he could liter- ally scare her to death or out of her wits?
njp.32101065596387	I wonder if I may trouble you for the rest of that match?
njp.32101065596387	In other words,said he,"you are inclined to suspect him of some connection with our mys- tery?"
njp.32101065596387	In other words,said the coroner,"in your opinion, the deceased met his death by poison?"
njp.32101065596387	Is Miss Gwendolen Carr stopping here?
njp.32101065596387	Is it also true,his inquisitor went on,"that you had quarreled with the deceased, and that your decision to go away was the result of this quarrel?"
njp.32101065596387	Is it true that the doctor had a push button on his desk which served to summon you into his office?
njp.32101065596387	Is it true,asked the coroner,"that you said to Miss Jerome,'1 think Dr. Marshall has had an attack of heart failure'?"
njp.32101065596387	Is it your theory, sir, that this needle was the one used by the murderer?
njp.32101065596387	Is n't that the house where you live,I asked,"just the other side of this big vacant lot, the first one?"
njp.32101065596387	Is n't there a chance of your getting some manager to risk it?
njp.32101065596387	Is n't this it?
njp.32101065596387	Is she ill?
njp.32101065596387	Is the light still burning in Miss Carr's room, and are the shades drawn down tight?
njp.32101065596387	Is this Dr. Mar- 34 MADELINE v shall's residence?
njp.32101065596387	It was real, then?
njp.32101065596387	It's not a guess?
njp.32101065596387	It's not very difficult, is it?
njp.32101065596387	Jack has told you, has n't he?
njp.32101065596387	Leaving who under suspicion?
njp.32101065596387	Marshall's? njp.32101065596387 May I ask you, Mr. Drew, to sit down in Dr. Marshall's chair behind the desk?"
njp.32101065596387	Miss Carr, do you feel equal to having an experiment tried on you?
njp.32101065596387	Must I wait any longer?
njp.32101065596387	No weapon? njp.32101065596387 Not necessarily; and even though she could, what good would a hint do, and what harm is done by waiting?
njp.32101065596387	Now have I earned my good news?
njp.32101065596387	Oh, them? njp.32101065596387 So that when he sat where he was when you found him, they would have been within easy reach of his hand?"
njp.32101065596387	So that you might expect to know it when you saw it?
njp.32101065596387	Ten minutes?
njp.32101065596387	Then,said I,"the patient who went into his office at half past eleven was the last person known to have seen him alive?"
njp.32101065596387	To whom?
njp.32101065596387	Very well,said the coroner,"who was the last person whom you admitted to Dr. Mar- shall's office?"
njp.32101065596387	Was it an hour?
njp.32101065596387	Was it locked?
njp.32101065596387	Was n't that rather extraordinary?
njp.32101065596387	Was there anything else you had to do?
njp.32101065596387	Well, how does it go? njp.32101065596387 Well,"said I thoughtfully,"he was right up to the last, was n't he?"
njp.32101065596387	Were you acquainted with most of them? njp.32101065596387 Were you ever hypnotized?"
njp.32101065596387	Were you personally acquainted with Dr. Marshall?
njp.32101065596387	What are you talking about? njp.32101065596387 What could possibly have happened in so short time as that?"
njp.32101065596387	What did Stancliffe look like when she thanked him that night?
njp.32101065596387	What did he say it was?
njp.32101065596387	What did you do with it when you picked it up?
njp.32101065596387	What do you mean?
njp.32101065596387	What do you mean?
njp.32101065596387	What do you mean?
njp.32101065596387	What do you mean?
njp.32101065596387	What do you want me to tell her over the'phone?
njp.32101065596387	What does the best evidence in the world amount to, anyway, when it comes to that?
njp.32101065596387	What in the world is the matter with you?
njp.32101065596387	What light did you see them by?
njp.32101065596387	What made you think Gwendolen's life was in danger?
njp.32101065596387	What makes them think so?
njp.32101065596387	What might you have expected to hear from your position at your desk? njp.32101065596387 What of that?"
njp.32101065596387	What time?
njp.32101065596387	What was that poison?
njp.32101065596387	What was the weapon, and who could have been the murderer? njp.32101065596387 What was the whole purpose of this second crime that Stan- cliff e was trying to commit out at Flatbush?
njp.32101065596387	What's become of her?
njp.32101065596387	What's that?
njp.32101065596387	What's the lieutenant doing in there?
njp.32101065596387	When you came out of the office into the corridor, Miss Carr, are you sure that you drew the door to behind you? njp.32101065596387 Where does he come in?
njp.32101065596387	Where is he?
njp.32101065596387	Where is the telephone in your house; out in one of the public rooms?
njp.32101065596387	Whereabout in the room was it?
njp.32101065596387	Who are the others?
njp.32101065596387	Who are you talking about? njp.32101065596387 Who was it,"I asked,"against whom he meditated this wrong?
njp.32101065596387	Who? njp.32101065596387 Why do you think we shall be too late?"
njp.32101065596387	Why not?
njp.32101065596387	Why take her out there?
njp.32101065596387	Why, she made that remark about the smell of tobacco to Stancliffe as well as to you, did n't she? njp.32101065596387 Why, then,"I asked,"did n't Pomeroy wait his turn and go into the inner office in the char- acter of a patient?"
njp.32101065596387	Why, why,I asked myself,"need this black web of suspicion and mystery spread itself over one after another of my friends?"
njp.32101065596387	Why?
njp.32101065596387	You are quite sure of this?
njp.32101065596387	You are quite sure that was the thing you picked up?
njp.32101065596387	You are quite sure, then, that it is not one of the commoner poisons?
njp.32101065596387	You are quite sure?
njp.32101065596387	You are sure of that, are you?
njp.32101065596387	You are sure the doctor did not ring your bell?
njp.32101065596387	You came directly here from your boarding house in Flatbush, did you not, Miss Carr?
njp.32101065596387	You could n't feel at all sure, then,I asked, 233 THE WHISPERING MAN"that he had been killed within, say, ten minutes of the time you saw the body?"
njp.32101065596387	You did n't get the idea at any time that you were being followed?
njp.32101065596387	You had been a frequent visitor at his house, had you not?
njp.32101065596387	You had been on very friendly terms with him previously, had you not; not only with him, with his — family?
njp.32101065596387	You had n't given three rings in this in- stance?
njp.32101065596387	You have not seen Miss Carr since you left 238 JEFFREY SMOKES A PIPE her that night out in Flatbush?
njp.32101065596387	You have something for me to identify?
njp.32101065596387	You knew her, did you?
njp.32101065596387	You mean you are through with me?
njp.32101065596387	You mean you think she is in actual phys- ical danger?
njp.32101065596387	You mean, I suppose,continued the cor- oner,"that you happened to notice nothing of the sort there?"
njp.32101065596387	You met no one, spoke to no one, while you were waiting for the elevator?
njp.32101065596387	You never took a second one when you thought the first one had failed to have any ef- fect?
njp.32101065596387	You remember,Jeffrey began,"the even- ing we dined together, and you found Jack Mar- shall waiting for you when we came back here?
njp.32101065596387	You saw him at night? njp.32101065596387 You saw your father, Mr. Marshall, yesterday morning before he went downtown to his office?"
njp.32101065596387	You say you did n't get a good look at the man she thought was Pomeroy?
njp.32101065596387	You stayed in that chair, then, until the in- terview was closed and you got up to leave the room?
njp.32101065596387	You went straight to the door?
njp.32101065596387	You were in your office, Dr. Armstrong, from, say, eleven thirty until twelve fifteen?
njp.32101065596387	You will realize, I think,said the coroner,"the extreme importance of the hour that you have testified to as that at which you left the office?
njp.32101065596387	You'd identify it on oath?
njp.32101065596387	You've seen him more than that once?
njp.32101065596387	Your call upon him, then, was a profes- sional one?
njp.32101065596387	'"Think?"'
njp.32101065596387	118 WHAT JACK MARSHALL KNEW"Do you recognize it?"
njp.32101065596387	131 THE WHISPERING MAN"Who was it, Jack?"
njp.32101065596387	29 THE WHISPERING MAN'"Jack hinted at it?"
njp.32101065596387	44 THE THEORY OF THE POLICE"Is all you've got against Pomeroy,"I asked,"that you found a ruby on him?
njp.32101065596387	77 THE WHISPERING MAN"There was nothing else that caught your at- tention?"
njp.32101065596387	79 THE WHISPERING MAN"And how long should you say it was then since Miss Carr had gone into the inner office?"
njp.32101065596387	96 DR. ARMSTRONG TESTIFIES"He did not seem to be laboring under any unusual excitement?"
njp.32101065596387	And see how much guesswork you think there is about that — Why, what's the matter with you?
njp.32101065596387	And what had happened then?
njp.32101065596387	And where, anyway, had the actor seen the doctor's assistant?
njp.32101065596387	And, Jeffrey, how did you know?
njp.32101065596387	Are you willing to throw reason to the winds and 241 THE WHISPERING MAN take a leap in the dark?
njp.32101065596387	Armstrong?"
njp.32101065596387	Armstrong?"
njp.32101065596387	Armstrong?"
njp.32101065596387	Armstrong?"
njp.32101065596387	But can you be sure, absolutely sure, that Dr. Armstrong was innocent after all?"
njp.32101065596387	But how could he be sure it would n't?"
njp.32101065596387	But if he was real and wanted to kill me, why did n't he do it when he had the chance?"
njp.32101065596387	But"—she hesitated —"there is n't any doubt about what you told me, is there?
njp.32101065596387	Ca n't you read, or do something to get a little quiet, and then go to bed?
njp.32101065596387	Ca n't you understand that?
njp.32101065596387	Can she keep her own counsel?"
njp.32101065596387	Can you come at once?"
njp.32101065596387	Can you corroborate the evidence offered by your watch in any way?"
njp.32101065596387	Could he have any motive for such an act?
njp.32101065596387	Did you ever feel like that?"
njp.32101065596387	Did you ever see her?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you know what I thought of then?
njp.32101065596387	Do you know where he kept it?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you know who it was that Dr. Marshall had his appointment with at twelve o'clock on the day of his mur- der?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you know?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you mind hurrying a little?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you mind if I ask you more particularly?"
njp.32101065596387	Do you re- member when the coroner asked her if her visit to the doctor was of a professional character?
njp.32101065596387	Do you want me?
njp.32101065596387	Do you want to go to bed like an only moderately disreputable citizen, or shall we make a night of it, thrashing out the whoL tale?"
njp.32101065596387	Dr. Armstrong, was that needle which you hold in your fingers broken from the end of your own hypodermic syringe?"
njp.32101065596387	First, what was her personal relation with the Marshalls?
njp.32101065596387	Have you any doubt whatever as to the accuracy of your memory?"
njp.32101065596387	Have you any hope of finding her?"
njp.32101065596387	He was down at the instrument maker's, was n't he, from a quarter past twelve till half past twelve?"
njp.32101065596387	How could he be sure that would n't go back on him?
njp.32101065596387	How could he do it better than by secreting the instrument with which the murder was committed among her effects?
njp.32101065596387	How could you have known?
njp.32101065596387	How did you know to- night that that syringe was to be found in Mr. Stancliffe's trou- sers pocket?"
njp.32101065596387	How had Pomeroy got in?
njp.32101065596387	How had he crossed the room and got into a position behind that swivel chair?
njp.32101065596387	How had he ever got his hands on his throat before the utterance of the one outcry that would have brought help?
njp.32101065596387	I asked Madeline the same thing I had asked of Jack in the cab,"Did you see any- thing unusual or abnormal about him this morn- ing at breakfast?"
njp.32101065596387	I've gone all over this once with you with the intention of serving it up again, rechauffe, over the breakfast table?
njp.32101065596387	If it is an inspiration — you see I am ready to believe anything — why in God's name could n't it have come before it was too late?"
njp.32101065596387	In the first place, did she say quite defi- nitely that he was dead?"
njp.32101065596387	Is there anything you wish to inquire about, gentlemen?"
njp.32101065596387	Marshall's?"
njp.32101065596387	Marshall?"
njp.32101065596387	Marshall?"
njp.32101065596387	Marshall?"
njp.32101065596387	Marshall?"
njp.32101065596387	Marshall?,""No, sir.
njp.32101065596387	Might he not be right in his identification after all?
njp.32101065596387	One is, who was the last person known to have seen him alive?
njp.32101065596387	Something else?"
njp.32101065596387	Stan- cliffe knew, did n't he, that she had been taking something to make herself sleep?"
njp.32101065596387	Stancliffe?"
njp.32101065596387	Stancliffe?"
njp.32101065596387	Sup- posing that it is the ruby, what made you think he had it?"
njp.32101065596387	THE THEORY OF THE POLICE"What do you mean?"
njp.32101065596387	That's reasonably complete, is n't it?"
njp.32101065596387	The chauffeur would account for one, but who could the other be?
njp.32101065596387	The patient who went in, I believe, at half past eleven?"
njp.32101065596387	The thief who they thought at first must be Dr. Marshall's murderer?
njp.32101065596387	Then he added:"You are quite sure you do n't mind going alone?"
njp.32101065596387	Then he asked, rather irrelevantly it seemed to me:"What sort of person is your landlady?
njp.32101065596387	Then how was the murder committed?"
njp.32101065596387	Then she asked me a question:"Did Jack tell you who it was that he saw?"
njp.32101065596387	Then, turning to her,"It was there that he sat, was it not, during your interview, Miss Carr?"
njp.32101065596387	This was her answer,'Do you mean did I go as 152 THE LAST PATIENT a patient?
njp.32101065596387	To speak plainly, do n't you think that he committed suicide?"
njp.32101065596387	Was he going by on the sidewalk, or did you see him in the yard?"
njp.32101065596387	Was it a face of the most courageous innocence, or of the most cynical guilt?
njp.32101065596387	Was it one that would supply a possible motive for the murder?
njp.32101065596387	Was n't it after she made the remark about the tobacco that he told her she could go home alone?"
njp.32101065596387	We know he did n't succeed, but how do we know he did n't murder the doctor?"
njp.32101065596387	Were they people who came frequently to see the doctor?"
njp.32101065596387	What are you chuckling about?"
njp.32101065596387	What assurance have you that your watch was right?"
njp.32101065596387	What chair did you sit in during your interview with the doc- tor, Miss Carr?"
njp.32101065596387	What did one ring mean?
njp.32101065596387	What do you mean?"
njp.32101065596387	What do you say to our going up to the St. Anthony and seeing Miss Carr ourselves?"
njp.32101065596387	What happened then?"
njp.32101065596387	What is the next thing you want me to do?"
njp.32101065596387	What time was it when you looked at your watch?"
njp.32101065596387	What's he doing here?"
njp.32101065596387	Where did you see him?
njp.32101065596387	Where?"
njp.32101065596387	Who but a clever surgeon could have directed his needle point into that broad avenue that led so instantly to the heart?
njp.32101065596387	Who else but he could be the criminal?
njp.32101065596387	Who else could have got into that room without ex- citing the victim's suspicion?
njp.32101065596387	Who in the world had a motive for wanting to murder him?"
njp.32101065596387	Why was it two?
njp.32101065596387	Wo n't to- morrow morning do just as well?"
njp.32101065596387	Would an ordinary conversation in the doctor's office be audible?"
njp.32101065596387	Would n't he hold back that knowledge as long as he could?"
njp.32101065596387	Would n't that implicate him all the more deeply, if anything?"
njp.32101065596387	You can identify your father's great ruby, ca n't you?"
njp.32101065596387	You do know, do n't you, who it was that killed Jack's father?"
njp.32101065596387	You have her telephone number, have n't you?"
njp.32101065596387	You have no special knowledge of precious stones, I presume?"
njp.32101065596387	You knew him rather well, did n't you?"
njp.32101065596387	You were quite sure of it at the time, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063977006	'Ave you, now?

mdp.39015063977006	I suppose you're the man who threw me that line? mdp.39015063977006 I suppose,"he put it to him abruptly,"you have n't changed your mind?"
mdp.39015063977006	I sye, W did you come to get the impression there was a party named Almanack aboard this wes- sel?
mdp.39015063977006	I sye,'re you lookin'for some one you know?

mdp.39015063977006	If you press me,he returned winningly,"how can I refuse?
mdp.39015063977006	Inspiration to do which,he pro- ceeded gravely,"came to me from the seafaring picaroon( Stryker did you name him?)

mdp.39015063977006	Is it?
mdp.39015063977006	Is that ofFer still open?
mdp.39015063977006	It would be best to defer explanations till a more convenient time — do n't you think? mdp.39015063977006 It's all right —""You're not hurt, truly?
mdp.39015063977006	It's come with you now, I guess?
mdp.39015063977006	Last night, when you cut away so suddenly, you prevented my making you a proposal, a sort of a business proposition...,"Yes —?"

mdp.39015063977006	My good man,he said with sublime tolerance,"will you be pleased to take yourself off — to the devil if you like?
mdp.39015063977006	Myself,admitted Kirkwood fairly; and then, in a gleam of humor:"Were n't you looking for me?"
mdp.39015063977006	Not really?
mdp.39015063977006	Nothing more?
mdp.39015063977006	Nothing more?

mdp.39015063977006	And now, Miss Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	And that's why he felt so awful'done up he would n't take a hand at hunting you two down, hey?
mdp.39015063977006	And the girl — what had become of her?
mdp.39015063977006	And what's the mat- ter with this'ere gentleman?"
mdp.39015063977006	And why the anxious undertone I detected in your note?"
mdp.39015063977006	And why?
mdp.39015063977006	And would you mind giving me your cards, please, all of you?"
mdp.39015063977006	And you think —?"
mdp.39015063977006	And your- self?"
mdp.39015063977006	And,"'That all?"
mdp.39015063977006	Anythink else?"
mdp.39015063977006	Are you afraid?"
mdp.39015063977006	Are you in George Cal- endar's pay?"
mdp.39015063977006	Are you sure — sure that it's all right — with you, I mean?"
mdp.39015063977006	As —"We're gaining?"
mdp.39015063977006	At sometime during the night he had lost( or been cunningly bereft of?)
mdp.39015063977006	At what time had his errant footsteps taken him through this curious survival of Eighteenth Century London?
mdp.39015063977006	Before they break in —""But this man —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Blandly ironic, returning to his impersonation of the shopkeeper,"Nothink else we can show you, sir?"
mdp.39015063977006	But did n't my father —?"
mdp.39015063977006	But this morning, when you've had time to think it over —?"
mdp.39015063977006	But to what end?
mdp.39015063977006	But what can we do?
mdp.39015063977006	But you wo n't,"Kirkwood added soothingly,"will you, Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	But you?
mdp.39015063977006	But — which passage should he choose?
mdp.39015063977006	But — would the art that he had cultivated with such assiduity, yield him a livelihood if sincerely practised with that end in view?
mdp.39015063977006	Ca n't you see I'm hurt?
mdp.39015063977006	Ca n't you see it's the only way to save your treasure?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar's?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	Can this be love?
mdp.39015063977006	Come now, guvner, is it gen'rous?
mdp.39015063977006	Could it be Number 9 into which they had passed?
mdp.39015063977006	Could it be love at an hour's acquaintance?
mdp.39015063977006	Could n't you ring another variation on the lunatic wheeze?
mdp.39015063977006	Could that not be made up?
mdp.39015063977006	D'ye understand me?
mdp.39015063977006	D'you think I'll temporize with you till Doomsday?
mdp.39015063977006	Do n't hesitate out of consideration for me, Captain; I'm joke proof — perhaps you've noticed?"
mdp.39015063977006	Do you know that he has n't a brass farthing to bless himself with?"
mdp.39015063977006	Do you think —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Dorothy looked anxiously to Kirkwood, her lips forming an unuttered query: What did he think?
mdp.39015063977006	Dorothy, my dear,"turning impa- tiently from Mulready,"where's that bag?"
mdp.39015063977006	Eh?
mdp.39015063977006	Feelin''appier, eigh?"
mdp.39015063977006	For I surmise you intend to marry this Mr. Kirkwood, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063977006	Four quid, you said?"
mdp.39015063977006	Had he lied to his daughter?
mdp.39015063977006	Had not Mrs. Hallam, going upon he knew not what information or belief, been bound for Queensborough, with design there to intercept the fugitives?
mdp.39015063977006	Had she any tangible ground for believing that Calendar could be found in Queensborough?
mdp.39015063977006	Had they not heard?
mdp.39015063977006	Hallam —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Hallam —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Hallam?"
mdp.39015063977006	Have n't you decided to try for the Bruges express?"
mdp.39015063977006	Have you hurt yourself, dear?
mdp.39015063977006	Have you stopped to think what part a rising young portrait- painter can contribute toward the rebuilding of a devastated city?"
mdp.39015063977006	He made no doubt that she had observed the passage; proof of that one found in her sudden startling pallor( of indig- nation?)
mdp.39015063977006	He wandered out into the night; he could not linger round the station till dawn; and what profit to him if he did?
mdp.39015063977006	Here's a sprightly subject: What are you going to do, Mr. Kirkwood?
mdp.39015063977006	How about it, Mulready?"
mdp.39015063977006	How did you come to drag him into this business?"
mdp.39015063977006	How did you get them?
mdp.39015063977006	How did you —?"
mdp.39015063977006	How do I know?
mdp.39015063977006	How much did he know?
mdp.39015063977006	How much did you say?"
mdp.39015063977006	How was he to know that Calendar had not arrived and found his way to her?
mdp.39015063977006	How was he to open a diverting conver- sation with a young woman whom he had met under auspices so extraordinary?
mdp.39015063977006	How —?"
mdp.39015063977006	I did n't know what —""What's o'clock now?"
mdp.39015063977006	I hope you were not hurt —?"
mdp.39015063977006	I make it quite clear?"
mdp.39015063977006	I presume they're be- low —?"
mdp.39015063977006	I say, what're you doing here?"
mdp.39015063977006	I say, you chap, whoever you are, what's happened?
mdp.39015063977006	I wonder if he was'cute enough to take another way?
mdp.39015063977006	I've taken the liberty of stopping you because I have a word or two —""Ow, you'ave,'ave you?
mdp.39015063977006	If I knew the man —""You do n't know him?"
mdp.39015063977006	If I knew, would I be here and him the devil knows where, this minute?
mdp.39015063977006	If my daughter is with me, she will have to endure the shame and humiliation —""Then why place her in such a position?"
mdp.39015063977006	If perchance he were to meet the girl again as she was leaving Number 9, — what then?
mdp.39015063977006	Indoors Kirkwood faced unhappily the enigma of 132 THE BLACK BAG fortuity, wondering: Was this by any possibility Number 9?
mdp.39015063977006	It do n't happen, does it, you're the same man?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kebsir?
mdp.39015063977006	Kirk- wood, do you hear anything?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood ac- cepted it half- heartedly( what else was he to do?)
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood agreed —-"Yes?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	Lookin'for a friend?"
mdp.39015063977006	M'sieu'does not mind walking up?"
mdp.39015063977006	Miss Dorothy, what do you think?"
mdp.39015063977006	Moistening thumb and forefinger,"How'll you have it?"
mdp.39015063977006	Money —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Mrs. Hallam was interested in the Hotel du Com- merce?
mdp.39015063977006	My father deposited them in bank this morning?"
mdp.39015063977006	No harm, eh?
mdp.39015063977006	None?
mdp.39015063977006	Not ill are you, you wag?
mdp.39015063977006	Now let us see: Where are you bound?"
mdp.39015063977006	Now then, what's the matter with weighing anchor and slipping quietly out to sea?"
mdp.39015063977006	Odd, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063977006	Of a sudden,"W'ere's the gel?"
mdp.39015063977006	Of course I can get an- other train at Tilbury?"
mdp.39015063977006	Of what colossal imprudence had he not been guilty?
mdp.39015063977006	Oh, what has happened, dearie?"
mdp.39015063977006	Oh, why did n't you come home?
mdp.39015063977006	On the other hand, why should they wait for the latest train, rather than proceed by the first available in the morning?
mdp.39015063977006	One of the first A PRIMER OF PROGRESSIVE CRIME 279 question now before the board is: Where now, — and how?"
mdp.39015063977006	Or is this the first trip to- night?"
mdp.39015063977006	Or shall I take the trouble to interest the police?"
mdp.39015063977006	Or were they, perhaps, aware of Kirkwood's entrance, and lying perdu in some dark corner, to ambush him as he passed?
mdp.39015063977006	Or — harking back to her original theory — that he was an emissary from Scotland Yard?
mdp.39015063977006	Or,"We'll tire them out?"
mdp.39015063977006	Page 92"BELOW BRIDGE"93 venturer, who had manufactured a plausible yarn to gain him access to her home?
mdp.39015063977006	Perhaps you'll ex- plain how there's no harm breakin'into unoccupied'ouses?
mdp.39015063977006	Really and truly?
mdp.39015063977006	Really — d'you know? — I feel as if I ought to do a little something for you both."
mdp.39015063977006	Really, our predestined paths are badly tangled, just now; are n't they?
mdp.39015063977006	She was thinking of — him?
mdp.39015063977006	Should he take the plunge, or withdraw?
mdp.39015063977006	Strynge'ow me'it it off, eigh?
mdp.39015063977006	Sure there's no mistake, young man?"
mdp.39015063977006	Sure?"
mdp.39015063977006	Take me — take her; d'you hear?"
mdp.39015063977006	Tell me,"she pleaded, with palpa- ble effort to steady herself;"what has happened?"
mdp.39015063977006	That's why he was so hot about picking a fight on the boat, hey?
mdp.39015063977006	The Pless, you said, sir?
mdp.39015063977006	The boy added peev- ishly:"Help a fellow, ca n't you?"
mdp.39015063977006	The improbable pos- sibility( But why improbable?)
mdp.39015063977006	The light —?"
mdp.39015063977006	The sound of retreating footsteps was stilled and"Yes?"
mdp.39015063977006	Then you are —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Then, with a thoughtful look,"You are sure this is wise?"
mdp.39015063977006	There fell a short pause; then:"Why — will you • tell me — is it necessary to run away from my father, Mr. Kirkwood?"
mdp.39015063977006	There was only the briefest of pauses, during which she analyzed this; then, quickly,"But you hope to?"
mdp.39015063977006	Un- derstand?"
mdp.39015063977006	Understand?"
mdp.39015063977006	Vanderlip?"
mdp.39015063977006	W'y don'cher work?'
mdp.39015063977006	Wait?"
mdp.39015063977006	Was he, then, running away from Calendar and his daughter to chase a will- o'-the- wisp of his credulous fancy, off Sheerness shore?
mdp.39015063977006	Was this the second shadow he had seemed to see — the confederate of him who had entered Number 9; a sentry to forestall interruption?
mdp.39015063977006	Well, Wotton?"
mdp.39015063977006	Well?"
mdp.39015063977006	Were they again to elude him?
mdp.39015063977006	Were you banking on that?
mdp.39015063977006	Were you surprised to find me in here, with you?
mdp.39015063977006	What are you going to do?"
mdp.39015063977006	What could be her motive, — not in feeding him, but in involving her name and fortune in an affair so strangely flavored?
mdp.39015063977006	What did it contain?
mdp.39015063977006	What had she to do with Care?
mdp.39015063977006	What of it?
mdp.39015063977006	What ought he to do?
mdp.39015063977006	What should I think of you, Miss Calendar?"
mdp.39015063977006	What was he to do?
mdp.39015063977006	What's there?
mdp.39015063977006	What?
mdp.39015063977006	When did he do it?
mdp.39015063977006	When had he heard of it?
mdp.39015063977006	When?
mdp.39015063977006	Where'll I find this'AUytheer?"
mdp.39015063977006	Where?"
mdp.39015063977006	Who was it?"
mdp.39015063977006	Who?
mdp.39015063977006	Why are you in London, enjoying our abominable spring weather?
mdp.39015063977006	Why but because Calendar and Mulready were to wait for Stryker to join them on the Alethea?
mdp.39015063977006	Why but because the intruders did not wish the sound of closing to be audible to her — or those — within?
mdp.39015063977006	Why did Mrs. Hallam suspect him of design- ing to meet Calendar at Queensborough?
mdp.39015063977006	Why should I not tell you how I appreciate all that you have un- selfishly done for me?"
mdp.39015063977006	Why should n't I?
mdp.39015063977006	Why —?"
mdp.39015063977006	Why, then —?
mdp.39015063977006	Why?
mdp.39015063977006	Why?
mdp.39015063977006	Why?
mdp.39015063977006	Will you hurry?"
mdp.39015063977006	Wo n't you be kind enough to leave me alone?"
mdp.39015063977006	Wo n't you believe me at your service?"
mdp.39015063977006	Wo n't you wait?"
mdp.39015063977006	Wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063977006	Won- der would your friend — ah — Mr. Kirkwood, lend me an arm?"
mdp.39015063977006	Wot's the row?
mdp.39015063977006	Would the mental and physical equipment of a painter, heretofore dilet- tante, enable him to become self- supporting?
mdp.39015063977006	Yes, Wotton?"
mdp.39015063977006	You did mean it, dear?"
mdp.39015063977006	You did n't see me hanging half out the window to watch where you went, did you?
mdp.39015063977006	You follow me?"
mdp.39015063977006	You got it, did n't you, cabby?"
mdp.39015063977006	You have seen it?"
mdp.39015063977006	You set the pace, will you?
mdp.39015063977006	You throw yourself on a total stranger's mercy because you're in the deuce of a hole; and —?
mdp.39015063977006	You understand — you know —?"
mdp.39015063977006	You understand?"
mdp.39015063977006	You would not con- sent to share it with me until —?"
mdp.39015063977006	You'ear?"
mdp.39015063977006	You'll dine with me, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063977006	You'll mind the'orse a minute, sir?"
mdp.39015063977006	You'll remember me, too, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063977006	You're a bad actor, are n't you, Eccles?"
mdp.39015063977006	You're an honest man, eh?"

nyp.33433074876164	'Quite a work of art, is n't it?'
nyp.33433074876164	'Quite so; you know, of course, what a queer thing the brain is?'
nyp.33433074876164	'Really?
nyp.33433074876164	'Shall we have coffee in the drawing- room?'
nyp.33433074876164	'Sit down, Mr. Morgan,'I said;'what is it that you want to say to me?'

nyp.33433074876164	But shall we be going on?'
nyp.33433074876164	But surely you have no need to fear Smith?
nyp.33433074876164	But this place is not alto- gether fit for such a discussion; perhaps you would come to my rooms?'

nyp.33433074876164	Is it not charming?
nyp.33433074876164	Is it not positively incredible?'
nyp.33433074876164	Is there anything I can do for you?
nyp.33433074876164	Just look here, will you?'

nyp.33433074876164	May I ask you what is the nature of the curiosity you have shown him?"
nyp.33433074876164	No; and you have guessed that I have come here not merely for the sake of the children and the fresh air?'
nyp.33433074876164	Now what does it mean in Welsh?'
nyp.33433074876164	Now, sir, do you wonder at my grief?
nyp.33433074876164	Perhaps you would like me to call a hansom for you to follow the gentleman?'

njp.32101042611911	An excellent man, but a bit too fond of the diver's lotion. ” “ What's that? ” asked Hewitt.

njp.32101042611911	Bak- ing the bread round them would have been risky, would n't it?"
njp.32101042611911	Big enough, is n't it?
njp.32101042611911	But all those other pieces are important, too. ” “ But why? ” “ Because there are no holes in them."
njp.32101042611911	But how?
njp.32101042611911	But if they suspect me, why do n't they say so?

njp.32101042611911	But what do you mean? ” “ My dear fellow, I do n't mean anything but what I say.
njp.32101042611911	But what do you want me to do — find the will? ” “ Certainly, if you can.
njp.32101042611911	But what is your theory?
njp.32101042611911	But where did it come from?'
njp.32101042611911	But, first, will you tell me how long Laker has been a walk- clerk? ” “ Barely four months, although he has been with us altogether seven years.
njp.32101042611911	By the way, Brett, which paper has the fullest report of the inquest yesterday?
njp.32101042611911	By the way, have you another un- cut loaf in the place? ” “ Yes, sir.

njp.32101042611911	Did you know him yourself? ” She had apparently only been waiting for some such remark to burst out with whatever information she possessed.
njp.32101042611911	Did you see a hatch- grating floating yesterday that was different from the others?
njp.32101042611911	Do I make it clear? ” “ Quite — nothing seems simpler now it is.
njp.32101042611911	Do n't you agree with me Mr. Hewitt? ” “ Oh yes, that's very plain.
njp.32101042611911	Do n't you know the man's a boiler- maker by regu- lar trade, and has only taken to stewardship for the last year or two?
njp.32101042611911	Do n't you remember the case reported a few months ago, in which a child was drowned as a sacrifice in Wallachia in order to bring rain?
njp.32101042611911	Do you care to let your uncle's dinner go by the board, and follow? ” “ Ca n't we go back and tell him?"

njp.32101042611911	Do you dive yourself, then? ” “ Well, I put the dress on sometimes, you know, for any such special occasion as this.
njp.32101042611911	Do you feel particularly interested in the case?
njp.32101042611911	Do you know anything of your brother's private papers — as they were before his death? ” “ I never knew anything till after that.
njp.32101042611911	Do you mind opening it at that place and seeing for yourself? ” Mr. Crellan, doubtful and bewildered, reached the volume.
njp.32101042611911	Do you really think he did that?"
njp.32101042611911	Do you remem- ber? ” “ Yes."
njp.32101042611911	Do you see? ” “ Yes, I think so.
njp.32101042611911	Do you suspect a theft of papers? ” Martin Hewitt, with his hands on his stick behind him, looked sharply at the other, and shook his head.
njp.32101042611911	Does his subsequent record make him look like a person whose stories are to be accepted without doubt or question?"
njp.32101042611911	Even for the ordinary picture dam- ager. ” “ You mean you do n't think they did it, then?
njp.32101042611911	Even if you do, where's the hand?

njp.32101042611911	Half- way up he turned his head, and, as he went on, “ Why, Nelly, my dear, ” he said, “ what's the matter?
njp.32101042611911	Has anything — anything at all_been left as it was on Tuesday morning? ”.
njp.32101042611911	Have you any suspicions? ” Mr. Crellan shrugged his shoulders.
njp.32101042611911	Have you told any one of your difficulty? ” “ Not a soul.
njp.32101042611911	Have you tried him with pen and paper?"
njp.32101042611911	He had tried Palm- er's Tourist Office, although that seemed an un- likely place, and there struck the track. ” “ Had he been there?"
njp.32101042611911	He was always messing about down there in his pantry, and once I distinctly heard knocking there, and when I went down to see, whom should I meet?
njp.32101042611911	He's had a knock or two in the face- notice that?"
njp.32101042611911	Here it is, I think. ” And he gingerly lifted the folds of sacking* “ Not understand? ” 174.
njp.32101042611911	Here, Bennett, you have seen plenty of their doings — cricket, shooting, and so on-do you remember if either is left- handed?"
njp.32101042611911	Hewitt sat and wrote a note, and by way of making conversation said to the inspector on duty, “ Anything very startling this way to- day? ”.
njp.32101042611911	How would you class the crime? ” “ I suppose as the police do.
njp.32101042611911	How? ”.
njp.32101042611911	I may understand that?
njp.32101042611911	I mean, if you've nothing better to do, would you come with me?"
njp.32101042611911	I must hurry and report to the Guarantee Society, I think. ” “ But, ” said the perplexed Plummer, “ where did you get your clue?
njp.32101042611911	I suppose, by the bye, Miss Garth is not exactly what you would call a'strong- minded'woman? ” “ No, she's not that.
njp.32101042611911	I wonder what's happened?"
njp.32101042611911	Is it an important link? ”.
njp.32101042611911	It has n't been in this book all the time, has it? ” “ No.
njp.32101042611911	It is probably less than half an inch deep from the front surface. ” “ Anything else?
njp.32101042611911	It was about eleven the next morning when Merrick received the following note, brought by a boatman:- “ DEAR MERRICK,-Am I commissioned?

njp.32101042611911	Mellis knows of the death, I suppose?
njp.32101042611911	Merrick put his helmet against Hewitt's, and shouted “ Satisfied now?
njp.32101042611911	Merrick? ” he said interrogatively, looking from one to another.
njp.32101042611911	Merston? ” he asked, pocket- book in hand, when a neat parlour- maid opened the door.
njp.32101042611911	More especially what about the cases the captain and the steward are said to have fetched ashore?"
njp.32101042611911	Mr. Hewitt and I have been making quite a night of it, but I'm off to bed now. ” “ I hope they've made you both quite comfort- able, uncle?"
njp.32101042611911	Mr. Jones he said his name was; but how many Joneses is there in London, sir? ”.
njp.32101042611911	Now is there any place on the whole premises that you can suggest where this will may possibly be hidden? ”.
njp.32101042611911	Now, ca n't you think of something those three things in that order suggest? ” I could think of nothing whatever, and I con- fessed as much.
njp.32101042611911	Of course I know I can do that if I knew where they were, but how can I find'em?
njp.32101042611911	Perhaps I have been wrongly informed as to the number of cases that should have been there? ” “ No; there were forty right enough.
njp.32101042611911	Perhaps the Wal- lachian part?"
njp.32101042611911	Presently I said: “ It all rests with the police now, of course?"
njp.32101042611911	Rum thing, how the fancies takes'em when they're a bit touched, ai n't it?

njp.32101042611911	She shut the drawer, locked it, and came out of the room with the envelope in her hand. ” “ And what did you do?'
njp.32101042611911	Somebody coming up the drive in a fly, is n't it?"
njp.32101042611911	Something left be- hind with Laker's name on it, perhaps?
njp.32101042611911	Something wrong with the bullion I'm told, is n't it? ” Merrick explained matters fully.
njp.32101042611911	Suppose it should be some- body personating Laker?
njp.32101042611911	That's about enough, I think, eh?
njp.32101042611911	The bullion is in bars, I understand? ”.
njp.32101042611911	Then he asked the inspector, “ Have you searched the Frenchman?"
njp.32101042611911	Then said Hewitt( I translate): “ You're not all Lees here, I see? ” “ Yes, pal, all Lees. ”.
njp.32101042611911	Then, what possible motive could anybody else about here have for such a crime?
njp.32101042611911	There are no other relatives, you say, who would benefit by intestacy?"
njp.32101042611911	They were corded together, two and two, apparently for convenience of transport. ”"Did you cord them like this yourself? ” asked Hewitt.
njp.32101042611911	This done, he produced a very large and thick pocket- book, fastened by a broad elastic band, and said, “ Well, what do you think of this?
njp.32101042611911	This man simply found the body hanging and stole the hand. ” “ But what in the world for? ”.
njp.32101042611911	This- this is the real will, I suppose? ” “ Look at it; you know best. ” Mr. Crellan looked.
njp.32101042611911	Want to write a note? ” Hewitt wrote and despatched a note, which reached me in less than ten minutes.
njp.32101042611911	Was anything else damaged?
njp.32101042611911	Was he wearing a hat when he was found?"
njp.32101042611911	We are not of the clob — we house- keep, me and Pierre. ” “ But what did they do to Gérard before he went away? ”.
njp.32101042611911	We ordered our dinner, and then Hewitt began: “ Now tell me what your conclusion is in this matter of the Ivy Cottage murder. ” “ Mine?
njp.32101042611911	Well, I know who took it. ” “ Then who was it? ”.
njp.32101042611911	Well, what do you make of it? ” “ I'm afraid I do n't quite see the connection with this case. ” 28 CHRONICLES OF MARTIN HEWITT.
njp.32101042611911	What are they?
njp.32101042611911	What can we do for you? ”.
njp.32101042611911	What could anybody want with a dead man's right hand and certain locks of his hair?
njp.32101042611911	What did they say?
njp.32101042611911	What do you think of that?
njp.32101042611911	What does it mean? ”.
njp.32101042611911	What does the whole case look like?
njp.32101042611911	What gave you the tip?"
njp.32101042611911	What have they done with him? ” “ Jean Pingard—'im you'ave take downstairs—'e'ave lose'i m.

njp.32101042611911	What is it?"
njp.32101042611911	What makes you suppose that this was a burglar who did n't want to burgle, and a well- dressed man, and so on? ” Hewitt chuckled and smiled again.
njp.32101042611911	What shall we do now?"
njp.32101042611911	What street was he found in? ” “ Henry Street — a little off Golden Square.
njp.32101042611911	What that man says makes the skipper's case look pretty fishy, does n't it?
njp.32101042611911	What's all this mathematical business over?
njp.32101042611911	What, here? ” “ I think so.
njp.32101042611911	When he's attended to him will you let your men take Laker home?
njp.32101042611911	Where does he keep his shovels and carpet sticks?"
njp.32101042611911	Where is it? ” The girl hesitated.
njp.32101042611911	Where were the legitimate keys then? ” “ In my cabin.
njp.32101042611911	Where's his sanctum?
njp.32101042611911	Where's your proof?
njp.32101042611911	Where?"
njp.32101042611911	Who are you? ” “ Let's get him up into the open, ” said Hewitt.
njp.32101042611911	Who could have been in a weaker nerv- ous state than Miss Garth has been lately?
njp.32101042611911	Who was this mysterious man with the broken shoe?
njp.32101042611911	Whom do you think of having arrested?"
njp.32101042611911	Why did n't they spread the alarm?
njp.32101042611911	Why did n't you give me the tip to keep him?"
njp.32101042611911	Why rather had he not got rid of it before showing himself?
njp.32101042611911	Why should Miss Garth go to all this secret trouble to do herself an injury — to make a beggar of herself?
njp.32101042611911	Why should he conspicuously display his'wallet- such a distinctive article — for the clerk to see and note?
njp.32101042611911	Why should he slang and threaten me for looking after these things and keeping my eye on the bullion- room, as was my duty?
njp.32101042611911	Why should he trample on the beds, else?
njp.32101042611911	Why, what's it made of? ” “ Three- eighths boiler plate. ” THE NICOBAR BULLION CASE.
njp.32101042611911	Will it do for Queen's taxes, or sanitary inspection, or the gas, or the water- sup- ply?"
njp.32101042611911	Will you see him? ” “ Presently.
njp.32101042611911	Wonder if Bras- yer will find out anything more?
njp.32101042611911	Wonder whom he suspects? ”.
njp.32101042611911	Would he write his name and address, and any other information he might care to give about himself, on the paper before him?
njp.32101042611911	You ca n't tell us where they are, I suppose? ” “ Well, sir, as to that — no.
njp.32101042611911	You guess it, of course? ” “ Yes,"I said, “ I think I can guess the rest, in a general sort of way- except as to one or two points."
njp.32101042611911	You have examined them carefully, I take it? ”.
njp.32101042611911	You have, I suppose, already communi- cated with the police?"
njp.32101042611911	You know the inquest evidence, such as it was, and you saw everything I did in Ivy Cot- tage? ” “ Yes; I think so.
njp.32101042611911	You may remember there was some talk of thieves'candles?
njp.32101042611911	You mean he stole them himself?
njp.32101042611911	You must leave things with me for a little, I think. ” “ Then you do n't give the case up?"
njp.32101042611911	You remember I said I was going out with that railway clerk this afternoon, and meant pumping him?
njp.32101042611911	You remember Mr. Kingscote's room where he painted the wood- work so beautiful with gold flowers, and blue, and pink?
njp.32101042611911	You will remember that I asked about the handyman's tool- house?
njp.32101042611911	You'set it to rights,'eh?
njp.32101042611911	You've kept him aboard, of course?"
njp.32101042611911	and who were his friends who left him signs and messages by means of crossed twigs?

njp.32101042611911	up, or questioned the housekeeper as to any plants being missing?
njp.32101042611911	what did the mutilation mean?
njp.32101042611911	what had he to do with the murder of Sneathy?
njp.32101042611911	“ A dan- gerous and terrible power in the hands of an un- scrupulous man. ” “ But — but how?
njp.32101042611911	“ And he said nothing of destroying his will? ” “ Nothing at all.
njp.32101042611911	“ And there is no doubt of the bureau having been kept locked all the time?"
njp.32101042611911	“ And what does a steward want with a lot of boiler- maker's tools aboard?
njp.32101042611911	“ And where did you find the will? ”.
njp.32101042611911	“ Been robbed himself, you mean?
njp.32101042611911	“ Bring me the sharpest- eyed person on board, ” he said; “ that is, if he were here all day yesterday. ” “ But what's up?
njp.32101042611911	“ But ca n't we have the rooms put back into something of the state they were in?
njp.32101042611911	“ But he's not a Lee? ” and Hewitt jerked his head towards the tent.
njp.32101042611911	“ But then how?
njp.32101042611911	“ But what about the hand?"
njp.32101042611911	“ But what — what does it all mean? ” Mr. Hardwick said in bewildered astonishment.
njp.32101042611911	“ But why did n't Gullen take more than two cases?"
njp.32101042611911	“ But why did n't you tell me all the conclusions you had arrived at at the time? ” asked Mr. Hard- wick.
njp.32101042611911	“ But, again, supposing it were Laker?
njp.32101042611911	“ Can you remember everything he said? ” Hewitt asked.
njp.32101042611911	“ Did anybody else know where Mr. Holford kept his will?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Did n't you see? ” replied Hewitt; “ I'll show you at the next turning."
njp.32101042611911	“ Did you ever have occasion to go to the bureau yourself?
njp.32101042611911	“ Did you see him?".
njp.32101042611911	“ Did you see the two women who were waiting to see a mem- ber of the firm at Liddle, Neal& Liddle's? ”.
njp.32101042611911	“ Do you mean this man was an accomplice?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Do you mean you think it's still in the vessel- hidden somewhere? ”.
njp.32101042611911	“ Gul- len?
njp.32101042611911	“ Has he been in this house between the day you last saw the will in that drawer and yesterday, when you failed to find it?".
njp.32101042611911	“ He will not be moved just yet, I take it? ” Hewitt asked as they parted.
njp.32101042611911	“ How are Mr. Mellis and Miss Garth affected toward one another — are they friendly?".
njp.32101042611911	“ How did you judge which way to turn then?"
njp.32101042611911	“ How will the police feel over this? ” I asked.
njp.32101042611911	“ I suppose your men do n't know anything about it? ” asked Hewitt.
njp.32101042611911	“ Is either of the brothers Foster left- handed? ” he asked.
njp.32101042611911	“ Is it all right?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Is it the will you mean?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Is the nurse still about the place?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Just you let the carpenter take care of his own stores, will you, Mr. Brasyer?
njp.32101042611911	“ Keck jin? ”* asked Hewitt, in the loud, clear tone one instinctively adopts in talking to a foreigner, “ Keckeno jinny?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Keck jin? ”* asked Hewitt, in the loud, clear tone one instinctively adopts in talking to a foreigner, “ Keckeno jinny?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Let's see — Chelsea, is n't it? ” “ Yes, Chelsea.
njp.32101042611911	“ Might I ’ ave the honour of ad- dressin'the salvage gentlemen?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Mr. Mellis said nothing about it, then?"
njp.32101042611911	“ My old lodgings?"
njp.32101042611911	“ No, I do n't think so; but I think what I've told you is pretty well enough for the present, eh?
njp.32101042611911	“ No, I'm sure I do n't know of any, and I do n't believe for a moment that any exist. ” “ Quite sure of that, I suppose?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Not on to its face? ”.
njp.32101042611911	“ Shall I tell her our object?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Shall I try him?"
njp.32101042611911	“ That seems to show pretty plainly, ” he said, “ that he must have struggled with them and was thrown for- ward, does n't it?"
njp.32101042611911	“ The man who took the rooms on Monday, now — you'd never seen him before, had you? ”.
njp.32101042611911	“ The man with the broken shoe? ” Hewitt nodded.
njp.32101042611911	“ The what?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Then is that anything like him?"
njp.32101042611911	“ There now, what do you make of that?"
njp.32101042611911	“ There's very little to be learned from the body, is there? ” he said.
njp.32101042611911	“ This does n't look very symmetrical, does it?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Well, suppose it is, what then?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Well, what do you think yourself, now?
njp.32101042611911	“ Well, ” said Merrick, grinning across the table at Hewitt, “ this is a queer go, is n't it?
njp.32101042611911	“ Well, ” said Plummer hazily, looking first at the unconscious prisoner and then at Hewitt, “ but what about the swag?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Well, ” she asked, “ are you satisfied now?"
njp.32101042611911	“ What have you done about the missing two- anything? ” “ Wired off to headquarters, of course, at once.
njp.32101042611911	“ What's all this? ” demanded Plummer, as Hewitt approached.
njp.32101042611911	“ What's the case? ” “ Oh, I'll tell you all about that when it's over- no time now.
njp.32101042611911	“ What's this, ” I asked, “ a cryptogram?"
njp.32101042611911	“ What, Gullen? ” exclaimed Merrick.
njp.32101042611911	“ What, do you suppose he was concerned in any way with the disappearance of this gold?
njp.32101042611911	“ What, the ‘ Hoxton Yob'?"
njp.32101042611911	“ When did this occur? ” he asked, “ and how?"
njp.32101042611911	“ When did this occur? ” he asked, “ and how?"
njp.32101042611911	“ When did you leave your- self? ” he ended.
njp.32101042611911	“ When did you yourself last actually see the will?"
njp.32101042611911	“ When you cut it down, ” he said, “ did it fall in a heap? ” “ No, my man eased it down to some extent."
njp.32101042611911	“ Which were disturbed?
njp.32101042611911	“ Who's Kerrett? ” he asked.
njp.32101042611911	“ Why do you call it suicide?
njp.32101042611911	“ Why my old lodgings?"
njp.32101042611911	“ Why not a Lee, pal?
njp.32101042611911	“ Why, do you mean that Miss Garth has been hypnotised by_by_Cranley Mellis? ” “ I think that is the case; indeed, I am pretty sure of it.
njp.32101042611911	“ Yes, and everything else too, eh?
njp.32101042611911	“ Yes, perhaps, ” he said, “ but where's your sharp look- out?
njp.32101042611911	“ Yessir. ” “ What were they? ” “ Hatch- gratings mostly — nothin'much else.
njp.32101042611911	“ You are sure that is where he is gone? ” asked Hewitt.
njp.32101042611911	“ You ca n't have got anything like a clue in this short time, Mr. Hewitt? ” he asked.
njp.32101042611911	“ You have had no reason to suspect him of dis- honesty before, I take it?"
njp.32101042611911	“ You say you are not of the club,"he said, “ but what is there to prove that?
njp.32101042611911	“ You say you feel sure Mr. Holford did not de- stroy the will himself? ”.
njp.32101042611911	“ You were in attendance on Mr. Holford, I be- lieve, Mrs. Turton, since the beginning of his last illness?
njp.32101042611911	“ You will have him taken to the infirmary, I suppose? ” Hewitt asked.
njp.32101042611911	“ You've rather cut them out, eh? ” “ Oh, the police are all right.
njp.32101042611911	“ You, I take it, have known Miss Garth along time?"
njp.32101042611911	” “ Since October 24th. ” “ Were you present when Mr. Mellis came to see his uncle last Saturday?"
njp.32101042611911	” “ Yes. ” “ A white paper in a blue envelope? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then I saw her take it, as I said before.
nyp.33433074812128	- “ You found it? ” He appeared unable to believe.
nyp.33433074812128	Am I a fool to believe that with the only contacts available to you, you will only I28 The Vanishing Men meet the vulgar men you can never marry?
nyp.33433074812128	And her father considered alone?
nyp.33433074812128	And if she liked you » “ What do you mean? ” he said.
nyp.33433074812128	And later?
nyp.33433074812128	And the scrap of paper was a part of the bait? ” Peter raised his hand as if to say that he wished to go on in his own way.
nyp.33433074812128	And what conclusion could be drawn from all of this — all that Peter knew?
nyp.33433074812128	And what would have supported you both then, eh?
nyp.33433074812128	Brave enough to go to St. Louis alone?
nyp.33433074812128	Breathing hard, he said, “ You-Brena — will you tell me everything? ” “ Yes, Peter — before I go.
nyp.33433074812128	But that's not bothering my mother. ” “ What bothers her? ” “ Funny thing.
nyp.33433074812128	But what's the use, if that's all?
nyp.33433074812128	But why should you complain, Brena?
nyp.33433074812128	But you?
nyp.33433074812128	Can you hear?
nyp.33433074812128	Can you think of anything else? ” To Brena the problem was new; she did not have a ready answer.
nyp.33433074812128	Did he leave a paper with you? ” “ A paper?
nyp.33433074812128	Did he leave a paper with you? ” “ A paper?
nyp.33433074812128	Did they? ” “ Did they? ” repeated the doctor scornfully.
nyp.33433074812128	Did they? ” “ Did they? ” repeated the doctor scornfully.
nyp.33433074812128	Do you know? ” “ I only guess, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074812128	Do you understand? ” The Vanishing Men 3I5 a half a hundred miles.
nyp.33433074812128	Does that make any dif- ference? ” “ Why should it? ” Peter had inquired with sin- cerity.

nyp.33433074812128	For what?
nyp.33433074812128	Get a room and do n't be frightened. ” “ No, Jim. ” “ Why do you look at me so? ” “ Because I have no money now. ” “ That's all right.
nyp.33433074812128	Have you had breakfast? ” “ I do n't want any, ” replied Brena.
nyp.33433074812128	He believed that they had developed forces quite unknown to modern life. ” “ How did you know this? ” she asked sharply.
nyp.33433074812128	He did n't tell you where he went? ” 97 f V. 98 The Vanishing Men “ No, ” said Brena, “ he did n't tell me. ” “ And not a word from him.
nyp.33433074812128	He did not have to say, “ Who is this?"
nyp.33433074812128	He had a better way. ” “ And how? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074812128	He said, “ Too brutal? ” Lanfrew said, “ Yes.
nyp.33433074812128	He said: “ The house? ” “ Just as I left it — one October day.
nyp.33433074812128	He wanted to hurry home this afternoon. ” “ I ’m sorry but he has n't come. ” “ Or sent you any word? ” the telephone asked.
nyp.33433074812128	Here's his letter head. ” “ Is he willing to take a chance on getting shot? ” Peter had asked.
nyp.33433074812128	Hesitating to blow his brains out because of what?
nyp.33433074812128	How can I use you, eh?
nyp.33433074812128	How could I use my money?
nyp.33433074812128	How did he know?
nyp.33433074812128	I did n't see it at first because I was in a funk at the eyes themselves. ” The Vanishing Men 9 “ What look? ” asked DeWolfe in the hush.
nyp.33433074812128	I have not come to London since last summer. ” “ And you have no inclination to play in London — to forget Beconshire for a day? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	I say — why do you ever do your hair up at all?
nyp.33433074812128	I was thinking. ” I82 The Vanishing Men “ Thinking?
nyp.33433074812128	I ’ve something to show you. ” “ To show me? ” “ Yes — a happy little home with the rent all paid up till last February.
nyp.33433074812128	If I can do nothing, what pur- pose would it serve for you to try?
nyp.33433074812128	In the lining — last year — I found the scrap of paper. ” “ It's here? ” asked Peter with a marked eager- Iless.
nyp.33433074812128	Is it base of me to want to take a diamond from the mud where no one else has seen it?
nyp.33433074812128	Is n't this a grim joke, Miss Selcoss? ” “ I do not know, ” said Brena uneasily.
nyp.33433074812128	Is this thing I propose so unnatural as the foolish world has said of it?
nyp.33433074812128	It comes from the colder air of the Mescalero Ridge! ” “ And it means that we have found our way? ” “ Yes, found our way.
nyp.33433074812128	It would n't have done her any good to tell her that brutal message, eh?
nyp.33433074812128	It's ego. ” “ Is that all, Jim? ” “ Yes, ” he said, lying glibly.
nyp.33433074812128	It's plenty, eh?
nyp.33433074812128	It's the work first. ” “ You dare — ” “ Dare? ” said Peter.
nyp.33433074812128	No purpose is served by stirring up a search. ” “ A search?
nyp.33433074812128	Not to defraud a soulless corporation, eh?
nyp.33433074812128	One can not grope his way in front of a moving train. ”- “ Did he die — without — a word? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074812128	Shall I say that I am going en tour across the country?
nyp.33433074812128	She asked: “ What does he want to see me for? ” “ I do n't know, ” Mrs. Wilkie admitted.
nyp.33433074812128	She said promptly: “ The information you wanted?
nyp.33433074812128	She said, “ Because I was waiting to see what you were do- ing. ” “ What was I doing? ” said Peter.
nyp.33433074812128	So I did n't know. ” “ There's much that one does n't know, ma'am, is n't there? ” he said in an oily voice behind which was a snarl.
nyp.33433074812128	Sorry. ” “ Oh. ” “ Well, I said nothing about it. ” “ Afraid of farewell dinners? ” Peter smiled.
nyp.33433074812128	Thank God, Peter, I came in time. ” “ Time — time for what?
nyp.33433074812128	That's why most men marry; but I am hardened by too many inspections of dimpled chins. ” “ From a discreet distance? ”!
nyp.33433074812128	The Vanishing Men 269 “ Will you help me? ” she said to Peter's lawyer.
nyp.33433074812128	The Vanishing Men I45 “ What of all this? ” said she.
nyp.33433074812128	The other crept to the animals and he rode away. ” “ Rode away?
nyp.33433074812128	The twenty- fourth is four days from now. ” “ Kremlin Wells, Texas?
nyp.33433074812128	There is n't anything — at the Office? ” “ No, his accounts are all right, ” replied Parmalee.
nyp.33433074812128	There might be some extraordinary forces behind you, might n't there?
nyp.33433074812128	There's ninety miles more. ” “ Where are we going? ” “ To the oldest city, Brena, in America.
nyp.33433074812128	Thinking of what? ” “ Of life. ” “ And what about it? ” “ How I love it! ” he had exclaimed.
nyp.33433074812128	Thinking of what? ” “ Of life. ” “ And what about it? ” “ How I love it! ” he had exclaimed.
nyp.33433074812128	Upon the specimens you have brought?
nyp.33433074812128	Vanish — like the others?
nyp.33433074812128	Vanish?
nyp.33433074812128	Was it about me? ” Parmalee looked up with a single sharp thrust of his glance; he adjusted his tie and his opinion of Miss Selcoss at one time.
nyp.33433074812128	We can talk and then 22 “ What? ” “ Good- by.
nyp.33433074812128	We're going where there are no fashions, Brena. ” “ To- day?"
nyp.33433074812128	What I say?
nyp.33433074812128	What did he tell you? ” “ Nothing. ” Parmalee sat down in a chair and stared at the carpet for a long time.
nyp.33433074812128	What do you feel? ” she asked in a frightened whisper.
nyp.33433074812128	What had it meant that this extraordinary man had surrounded his life with defenses as if fore- warned of his fate?
nyp.33433074812128	What was the bait?
nyp.33433074812128	When he had read Brena's letter, he tossed it on the desk and, glowering at Peter, he said, “ Well? ” “ I came to ask ” DeWolfe began.
nyp.33433074812128	Who knows what it is?
nyp.33433074812128	Why complain? ” “ I ’m not complaining, ” she had said shutting her lips into a firm line.
nyp.33433074812128	Why not braid it?
nyp.33433074812128	Why? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074812128	You mean that you do not know where he is, Mr. Parmalee? ” The broker lowered his voice: “ Yes, ” said he.
nyp.33433074812128	You must be brave — a good girl, eh?
nyp.33433074812128	You never found it again? ” “ Yes, ” said Brena.
nyp.33433074812128	You've got a caller. ” “ To see me? ” “ Yes, to see you.
nyp.33433074812128	“ And all alone he came. ” “ And where is he now? ” she cried out at last, in sudden disclosure of her pain.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Anything wrong, sir? ” asked a voice outside.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Are you Miss Selcoss? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Are you going back? ” asked Benham.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Are you laughing at me? ” he exclaimed angrily.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Are you the son of DeWolfe of the Equity? ” “ Yes. ” “ Let it alone. ” “ What alone? ” “ This affair.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Are you the son of DeWolfe of the Equity? ” “ Yes. ” “ Let it alone. ” “ What alone? ” “ This affair.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Are you there? ” inquired the operator, using 42 The Vanishing Men the conventional London phrase.
nyp.33433074812128	“ By the by, I say, does n't this landscape remind one of Corot's paintings? ” 6 The Vanishing Men DeWolfe grinned.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Did you expect an answer to that — at once — in a minute?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Did you notice that our searchlight no longer picks up little insects and turns them into flashes of silver? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Did you send me that warning — to the steamer? ” She was silent.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Do n’t you love me a little? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Do you know?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Fate? ” “ Something. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Fate? ” “ Something. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Fear? ” “ Yes, fear.
nyp.33433074812128	“ From my window. ” 2O The Vanishing Men “ You saw me? ” he said.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Has she heard from him? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Him? ” asked Brena.
nyp.33433074812128	“ How can you say that I have not thought of you?
nyp.33433074812128	“ How long has it been since he — went? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ How old are you? ” Parmalee was asking Brena.
nyp.33433074812128	“ I admit — we both admit — that it is a mistake, do n't we? ” “ Yes — perhaps.
nyp.33433074812128	“ I am inquiring. ” “ Inquiring? ” he said with sudden heat.
nyp.33433074812128	“ I bought it. ” “ When? ” “ A month ago. ” “ A month ago?
nyp.33433074812128	“ I bought it. ” “ When? ” “ A month ago. ” “ A month ago?
nyp.33433074812128	“ I can understand. ” “ You have heard no word from him since? ” “ No word.
nyp.33433074812128	“ I did have the telescope, did n't I?"
nyp.33433074812128	“ I think I do, Jim. ” “ You ’re willing to take a trip?
nyp.33433074812128	“ I will blush for their ignorance, but what more than that can I do on a sunny Thursday?
nyp.33433074812128	“ It did have a meaning then? ” she said with halt- ing syllables.
nyp.33433074812128	“ It is because I have no patience with unrealities. ” “ You would say more? ” he asked with his un- canny ability to read her thought.
nyp.33433074812128	“ It is possible, is n't it?
nyp.33433074812128	“ It makes cowards, but it is also the mother 22 “ Of what? ” “ Of murderers, ” he said.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Let him go? ” asked the astounded Colby.
nyp.33433074812128	“ May I look? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ May I say that the your desire for a copy of this book must be extraordinary? ” “ Oh, yes, most extraordinary.
nyp.33433074812128	“ No- where except to scandal. ” “ Scandal? ” replied Hennepin yawning.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Over three years. ” “ And no word? ” “ No word.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Shot? ” the other had repeated with a gasp.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Tell me, Peter — are there dangers there?
nyp.33433074812128	“ That is it!—What? ” The fur stole on the desk in front of him he smoothed gently with his open hand.
nyp.33433074812128	“ That telegram was opened. ” “ When? ” asked Brena.
nyp.33433074812128	“ That, ” said the doctor, putting a square- ended fore- finger upon the words “ The Sign. ” “ What? ” asked Peter.
nyp.33433074812128	“ That? ” said he in a voice which sounded muffled.
nyp.33433074812128	“ There is a threat here, is n't there? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074812128	“ There was no publicity? ” “ No- almost none — a paragraph or two.
nyp.33433074812128	“ To kill him? ” asked Brena.
nyp.33433074812128	“ To- day? ” “ No, ” said Brena, “ she has n't had a line from him since he left Dallas.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Vanish?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Vanished? ” he said aloud.
nyp.33433074812128	“ We agreed, Peter, did n't we?
nyp.33433074812128	“ We live a clean, wholesome kind of existence, do n't we?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Well, do you know what that is? ” Brena raised the arch of her brows.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Well, what? ” asked DeWolfe.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Well? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What about this — whoever it was — this symbol, half bird and half snake — Kuk- ul- can?...
nyp.33433074812128	“ What are you doing down here?
nyp.33433074812128	“ What are you doing, Compton? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What are you going to do? ” “ I ’m going to leave you, Compton, ” she said.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What became of his money? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What book? ” “ ‘ The Explorations of Father Carlos in the Mes- calero Desert.'
nyp.33433074812128	“ What do you mean? ” “ For instance, the reason Marks left. ” “ What reason? ” “ Well, ma'am, Mr. Parmalee is suspicious of ser- vants.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What do you mean? ” “ For instance, the reason Marks left. ” “ What reason? ” “ Well, ma'am, Mr. Parmalee is suspicious of ser- vants.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What do you see, Peter? ” “ I see a record in the sand. ” “ What record? ” “ We shall see more, ” he said grimly.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What do you see, Peter? ” “ I see a record in the sand. ” “ What record? ” “ We shall see more, ” he said grimly.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What have you proposed as the title of this picture? ” “ Why — the- name — Mrs.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What if it were? ” he said.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What is it? ” “ The problem is whether the same hand wrote the words on these two pieces of paper.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What is this fate that follows you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What time is it? ” Peter had asked, listening in vain for the great bell of St. Paul's.
nyp.33433074812128	“ What would make you fall in love with a woman? ” asked Benham.
nyp.33433074812128	“ When it came?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Where are these accounts? ” asked Eldegard.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Where are you going? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Where did this come from? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Where is it now? ” “ It disappeared.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Who do you suppose sent me here? ” “ One of many lawyers, perhaps. ” “ The district attorney. ” The doctor was plainly pleased.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Who is pleased when you eat? ” “ Nobody, ” he said.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Who then? ” “ Why, a burglar, ” he said, still quivering with excitement.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Why not, Compton? ” “ Because the name is a peculiar name, ” said her I72 The Vanishing Men husband in a ridiculous petty rage.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Why not? ” asked the girl.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Why should any one follow you? ” she inquired scornfully.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Why-> should n't he go?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Will you tell me — afterward? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ With you?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Written?
nyp.33433074812128	“ Yes. ” “ I wo n't have it! ” “ Why not? ” his wife asked rising from the divan and coming out of the studio shadows.
nyp.33433074812128	“ Yes? ” the other interrupted with a growl.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You are not vexed? ” asked Miss Benham in- vitingly.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You did not — ” I26 The Vanishing Men “ Come back? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You do n't mean? ” exclaimed Peter.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You do n't think there is to be an ending — now? ” he asked after a moment.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You do not weep? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You like the name? ” “ I confess — ” “ Of course — so many names of women — just the names — give a man a thrill.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You think I have done badly?
nyp.33433074812128	“ You want to cease seeing people? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You were friendly? ” “ Yes, ” she said.
nyp.33433074812128	“ You ’ve never seen that scrap of paper again, have you? ” This was the last time he ever spoke of it.
nyp.33433074810627	- “ Invest?
nyp.33433074810627	- “ When ’s the funeral? ” asked Wix.
nyp.33433074810627	22 YOUNG WALLINGFORD An investment?
nyp.33433074810627	2IO YOUNG WALLINGFORD “ Are you all in? ” asked Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	48 YOUNG WALLINGFORD “ Why should you? ” agreed Wix, and then a diabolical thought came to him, in the guise of an exquisite joke.
nyp.33433074810627	64 YOUNG WALLINGFORD “ What do you think of them? ” asked Blackie in their first aside moment.
nyp.33433074810627	88 YOUNG WALLING FORD “ Yes, why do n't you? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074810627	A highball?
nyp.33433074810627	AN OLD SCORE EVENED UP 177 “ How long will it be until dinner's ready, Wall- ingford? ” asked Billy, looking at his watch as J. Rufus came up.
nyp.33433074810627	AN OLD SCORE EVENED UP I81 “ I wonder how they overlooked this? ” he ques- tioned.
nyp.33433074810627	An ’ trot — you'd ought to see that team trot. ” “ What'll you take for them? ” asked Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	And why not, since they were all of one mind?
nyp.33433074810627	Are n't you? ” “ Yes, ” she admitted, pondering it slowly.
nyp.33433074810627	Arrived there, who so active in direction as Jonas Bubble?
nyp.33433074810627	Bubble at home? ” he asked with great dignity.
nyp.33433074810627	Bubble drive you off the place? ” “ No, ” replied Wallingford loftily.
nyp.33433074810627	Bubble, and become its president?
nyp.33433074810627	But how do you like Bologna? ” she hastily added, her own laugh freezing as she saw her feeble little joke passed by in perplexity.
nyp.33433074810627	But your business back there, Jim? ” He chuckled.
nyp.33433074810627	Ca n't they ever drink enough to get oiled happy? ” “ Not and do business with strangers on Broad- way, ” Daw explained.
nyp.33433074810627	Can you stand it? ” “ I should say I can, ” asserted Daw.
nyp.33433074810627	Did he deposit? ” 50 YOUNG WALLINGFORD “ No, sir, ” replied Gilman, in a low voice; “ he took currency. ” Mr. Smalley visibly winced.
nyp.33433074810627	Do n't they ever get interested in any- thing? ” “ Nothing but easy marks, ” replied Mr. Daw with a grin.
nyp.33433074810627	Do n't you know that I can get from fifteen to twenty at the track?
nyp.33433074810627	Do you know anybody around the hotel that would serve? ” The doctor snorted contemptuously.
nyp.33433074810627	Do you know how they operate?
nyp.33433074810627	Do you want it? ” “ No; we're satisfied, ” returned Larry dryly.
nyp.33433074810627	EASY MONEY I9 What would Mr. Gilman have to drink?
nyp.33433074810627	Ever hear of that disease?
nyp.33433074810627	Give me ten? ” No, they would not give him ten.
nyp.33433074810627	Green- Goods Harry Phelps and Badger Billy Bant- ing?
nyp.33433074810627	Guess that's bad, eh?
nyp.33433074810627	Have you spent any of that money? ” 3O4 YOUNG WALLINGFORD “ Well, no, ” he reluctantly replied.
nyp.33433074810627	Have you thought how I should be re- garded in the only world I have ever known?
nyp.33433074810627	Having held forward heads the first time, should he reverse the pin the second time, or repeat heads?
nyp.33433074810627	He can get to the fat money, ca n't he? ” Wix shook his head.
nyp.33433074810627	He invited us up to play stud poker with him. ” “ Why do n't you? ” asked Pickins.
nyp.33433074810627	He lingered a moment at the gate, but only a moment, for a woman's shrill voice called: “ Is that you, Fannie?
nyp.33433074810627	He's started for the train, but he might come back. ” “ When, then, can I see you? ” demanded Daw, seeing that Gilman was afraid of him.
nyp.33433074810627	How about your profits that I've been handing you?
nyp.33433074810627	How did you happen to land on it? ” Blandly Wallingford produced the telegram he had received that morning.
nyp.33433074810627	How do you like Fannie? ” “ She's a very nice girl, ” opined Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	How many bottles of the Sciata- cata was it you took? ” “ Four, ” replied J. Rufus clearly, with not even a twinkle in his eye.
nyp.33433074810627	How would that do? ” 883.201A IOO YOUNG WALLINGFORD “ Fine! ” agreed Harvey.
nyp.33433074810627	I had to be in posi- tion to pay off all my losses or quit business. ” “ How much are you increasing? ” asked Glidden, interested.
nyp.33433074810627	I suppose you saved the rest of it? ” Again Gilman nodded his head.
nyp.33433074810627	I think you said you lived in Filmore?
nyp.33433074810627	I wanted you fellows to come and look him over. ” “ What's the use? ” returned Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	If wheat goes down one and three- fourths cents you lose the other seven- teen- fifty, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” admitted Gilman.
nyp.33433074810627	In the meantime, bank all your money, and do n't make a bet on any race. ”- “ What are you going to do? ” asked Blackie curiously.
nyp.33433074810627	Is n’t that good pay? ” “ It makes a crook look like a fool, ” admitted Blackie Daw.
nyp.33433074810627	Knowing this, then, and condoning it, was she not a part sharer in his guilt?
nyp.33433074810627	Mother or sister, maybe? ” “ No, ” answered Wallingford, smiling.
nyp.33433074810627	Pretty YOUNG WIX TAKES A HAND 37 syrupy, eh?
nyp.33433074810627	Pretty good game for the bucket- shop man, is n't it?
nyp.33433074810627	Shall I see you again before you go? ” “ I scarcely think so.
nyp.33433074810627	Should he form a drainage company to re- store it to good farming land?
nyp.33433074810627	Some beer?
nyp.33433074810627	Suppose they find out? ” Wallingford swelled up with righteous indigna- tion.
nyp.33433074810627	Thirty- day note, I suppose? ” “ Oh, anything you like, ” said Wallingford care- lessly.
nyp.33433074810627	Two? ” repeated Jim Ranger, looking about the room.
nyp.33433074810627	Was Miss Forsythe there?
nyp.33433074810627	Was Mrs. Moozer there?
nyp.33433074810627	Was you thinkin'of buyin'some timber land? ” Wallingford again hesitated over that question, but finally stated that he was not.
nyp.33433074810627	What do you sup- pose he did?
nyp.33433074810627	What happens to your twenty dollars?
nyp.33433074810627	What kind of a horse is this Whipsaw you're sending out to- day? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074810627	What made you let him have that hundred and fifty so quick? ” “ Let him! ” retorted Larry savagely.
nyp.33433074810627	What odds will you give me? ” This being an entirely different proposition, Larry began to think much better of the horse.
nyp.33433074810627	What on earth should he do with that swamp, now that he had it?
nyp.33433074810627	What shall I do? ” he moaned, over and over.
nyp.33433074810627	What should he do with that swamp?
nyp.33433074810627	What was Smalley doing there?
nyp.33433074810627	What ’s his room? ” YOUNG WIX TAKES A HAND 29 “ Number one, ” and again the clerk grinned.
nyp.33433074810627	What'll you have to drink? ”- “ Wine, thanks, ” replied Wix.
nyp.33433074810627	What's he on? ” “ Whipsaw, ” interposed Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	What's the New York horse to- day? ” Blackie consulted a list that lay on his desk.
nyp.33433074810627	What's the matter? ” “ Have n't capital enough, ” explained Wix.
nyp.33433074810627	What's the number of his room?
nyp.33433074810627	When did you come to town? ” A smile broke over Wallingford's face as he shook hands with the bluecoat.
nyp.33433074810627	When'll I get this first twenty thousand? ” “ Right away, ” said Mr. Phelps, rising.
nyp.33433074810627	Where are you stopping? ” A GREEN- GOODS PLAYLET 85 Wallingford told him, and then looked at him speculatively.
nyp.33433074810627	Which are you going to take? ” y “ Why, neither one, ” said Daw in some surprise.
nyp.33433074810627	Who's that with you? ” “ You ’d better go right away, please, ” pleaded Fannie in a flutter.
nyp.33433074810627	Why did n't you hold on to it?
nyp.33433074810627	Why do they sit in the darkest corners and bark at them- selves?
nyp.33433074810627	Why do you suppose I want to make such a sucker bet as this?
nyp.33433074810627	Why not?
nyp.33433074810627	Would he accept the traitorous Mr. Phelps'challenge if guaranteed that he would win?
nyp.33433074810627	Would you mind putting the plans for my new house into the hands of the two contractors here for them to figure on? ” “ With pleasure.
nyp.33433074810627	You know the last thing he had the nerve to say?
nyp.33433074810627	You might use it in the wrong place some time. ” “ Why not use the word? ” Wallingford indig- nantly wanted to know.
nyp.33433074810627	You'll go with me, wo n't you, Fannie? ”, “ Anywhere, ” she said brokenly.
nyp.33433074810627	You're not safe enough; you trifle too much with the law, which is not only foolish but unnecessary. ”- “ Yes? ” retorted Daw.
nyp.33433074810627	“ A bed- room and sitting- room and a bath for myself. ” “ Sitting- room? ” repeated the proprietor.
nyp.33433074810627	“ A lottery?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Ai n’t I the regular buya- da- banan Dago for fair? ” he demanded, without a trace of his choice Italian accent.
nyp.33433074810627	“ And I suppose you were in a similar line, Judge? ” he ven- tured.
nyp.33433074810627	“ And what did you say you would take for a half interest? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ And what is your plan of loans, Mr. Wallingford? ” “ Also very simple, ” replied the bright young man.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Are n't you Mr. Wix, of Filmore? ” “ I ’m afraid not, ” replied Wix, smiling with great cordiality.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Are you sure you can do it? ” she wanted to know.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Blackie, did you tell this gang of yours that they did n't drink enough to suit me? ” Walling- ford demanded.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Block thinks you're about the maple cus- tard, do n’t he? ” “ He ’s crazy about me, ’ complacently.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Block?
nyp.33433074810627	“ But why did you blow the easy little new com- pany? ” he wanted to know.
nyp.33433074810627	“ But why does he want to keep control? ” per- sisted Doc Turner.
nyp.33433074810627	“ By the way, J. Rufus, what was your game down there?
nyp.33433074810627	“ By the way, Wix, what is your name now? ” “ By George, I have n't decided!
nyp.33433074810627	“ Can you beat it? ” asked one big soldier of the other as both looked after the departing couple in pleased wonder.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Did you get it all down, Jimmy? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Did you? ” “ Mother and I are broke if Whipsaw do n't win, ” she confessed with dry lips.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Do n’t they ever spring a new one here? ” Mr. Blackie Daw only laughed.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Do you know those two cheaps? ” she inquired, eying their retreating backs with disfavor.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Do you mean to say you can swing that amount? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Do you smoke? ” “ Reckon I do, ” said Bob.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Do you suppose it would take the three thousand all at once? ” he asked with some anxiety.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Does that sound like sarsaparilla and pea- nuts? ” “ I ’m listening, ” said Wix with sudden interest.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Give me eight? ” They hesitated.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Going out to the track to- day? ” “ I ’m not going to miss a race till the meeting closes, ” asserted Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Got any more? ” demanded Larry.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Has he got the eight thousand on him, do you think? ” asked the green- goods one, his interest rap- idly increasing.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Have you gone crazy, or what? ” “ Sane enough that I do n't intend to be connected with a lottery!
nyp.33433074810627	“ Have you thought of what light this puts me in at home?
nyp.33433074810627	“ He keeps a big cash reserve, does n't he?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Hello, Wix; how ’s tricks? ” he hailed.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Hold stakes for us, Jake, on a little private bet? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Home so soon? ” inquired Gilman in surprise.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Honestly, how do you do it? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How about this eight thousand or so that you committed mayhem on Fil- more to get? ”- “ Good, honest money, ” asserted Wix.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How are we getting along?
nyp.33433074810627	“ How are you picking them to- day, Walling- ford? ” he asked perfunctorily, with his eye on Beauty Phillips.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How are you, Doctor? ” said he, holding up his plump palm.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How do you like Block? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How does that hit you?
nyp.33433074810627	“ How'd you come to fall for this stud game, Larry? ” inquired Phelps.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How'd you get along? ” asked Bob, pausing to wipe the perspiration from his brow after he had emptied the two pails of water into the tub.
nyp.33433074810627	“ How's business? ” “ Rotten! ” returned the grocery drummer.
nyp.33433074810627	“ However, it's easy enough to see them. ” “ Need we do so? ” inquired Mr. Squinch, in slow thought.
nyp.33433074810627	“ However, papa- in- law is paying for the honeymoon. ” “ Does he know it? ” asked Blackie.
nyp.33433074810627	“ I do n't see that that need stop us. ” “ Why not? ” protested young Corbin.
nyp.33433074810627	“ I guess you want it all? ” charged Daw with a S11eer.
nyp.33433074810627	“ I promised you a rake- off when I spoke about this on the train, did n't I?
nyp.33433074810627	“ I ’ve a good one to- day that I ’m going to send in a couple of hundred “ What is it? ” asked Larry.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Is that stone good for anything? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Is that straight business? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433074810627	“ It's a beautiful evening, is n't it? ” said Fannie, as Wallingford caught step with her.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Look here, ” said Billy Banting, “ do you know something about this horse? ” “ If I did I would n't tell.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Make this out to Gilman, shall I? ” asked Wix, seating himself at Smalley's desk, and poising his pen above the certificate.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Me? ” inquired Wallingford in surprise.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Shall I send for another glass? ” “ Surest thing, you know, ” replied the other.
nyp.33433074810627	“ So? ” said Bob, looking at it doubtfully.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Some ladies with you?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Spread this in as many pool- rooms as you can; get it all down on Whipsaw. ” “ Three ways? ” asked Shorty.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Suppose I ca n't decide to wing my onward way? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Suppose they actually take this matter up with the state department?
nyp.33433074810627	“ The bridal chamber, eh? ” he chuckled.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Then I'll have you looking out on court- house square through the big grill. ” “ On what charge? ” “ General principles, ” chuckled Wix.
nyp.33433074810627	“ This fresh lollop has coin, and it ought to be ours. ”- “ Ought to be?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Two hundred miles to get a drink? ” “ I ca n't take one any closer, can I? ” demanded Gilman savagely.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Two hundred miles to get a drink? ” “ I ca n't take one any closer, can I? ” demanded Gilman savagely.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Was you in on that assassination?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Was you thinkin ’ of buyin'a farm? ” Wallingford smiled and shook his head.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Well, what is it, son? ” she asked in her level, even tone as he came into the room.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What are you going to do with those? ” asked Turner with a thoughtful frown.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What brings you here? ” “ Broke, ” replied Wallingford briefly.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What did you do at home? ” “ Not a thing, ” protested Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What did you play? ” asked Badger Billy, with the eager post- mortem interest of a loser.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What do you like in this race, Mr. Block? ” BEAUTY IN THE SPOT- LIGHT 165 “ I do n't like anything, ” he replied almost gruffly.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What do you suppose makes Mr. Block look up here with such a poison face every two or three minutes? ” Wallingford chuckled hugely.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What in Moses is that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What is it? ” “ These fellows are trying to win out dinner- money on me.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What made you chop the game, Larry? ” asked Green- Goods Harry in impatient wonder.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What odds do I get?
nyp.33433074810627	“ What shall I do?
nyp.33433074810627	“ What time did you say that train leaves?
nyp.33433074810627	“ What will you take for that list, or a copy of it? ” went on Mr. Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What'll you give me, then?
nyp.33433074810627	“ What'll you have?
nyp.33433074810627	“ What's his plan of operation, anyhow? ” com- plained Squinch.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What's the matter with you, J. Rufus? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What's the matter with you? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What's the matter with your highball? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ What's this thing for? ” asked Wallingford, in- specting it curiously.
nyp.33433074810627	“ When are we going to Blakeville, Jim? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Where are your note blanks? ” “ Er — right here, ” replied Mr.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Where did you get it, mister? ” 4.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Where would you get it? ” asked Wix incredu- lously.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Where's Daw? ” he asked, after two sips which he tried to make seem like gulps.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Which way? ” asked Bob, as he gathered up the reins.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Who is this large, pink Wallingford person, and where did you get it? ” asked Mr. Phelps, whose more familiar name was Green- Goods Harry.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Who sent it? ” asked Wallingford idly.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Who told you? ” “ Phelps and Banting, ” she said.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Who ’s that? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Who's in the race O11 with him? ” He drew a paper to him and turned to the entries.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Who's to be thugged? ” “ Nobody, ” replied Wallingford, laughing.
nyp.33433074810627	“ Why do they hate themselves so?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074810627	“ Wo n't you try a glass of this?
nyp.33433074810627	“ You do n't want to lay a little more, do you, at that odds? ” “ No, ” declined Wallingford.
nyp.33433074810627	“ You got to that three thousand, did you? ” WIX.
nyp.33433074810627	“ You have n’t been making a book against J. Rufus on the day's races, have you? ” inquired Phelps.
nyp.33433074810627	“ You ’ll get the first wire to- morrow morning, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074810627	“ You ’re all willing he should hold the money? ” They were.
nyp.33433074810627	“ You ’re almost in full charge at the bank now, WIX BEGINS TO THINK II are n't you? ” observed Wix carelessly.

mdp.39015063942836	And now perhaps you'll be able to tell us some of the things your wife said to you on this Monday afternoon?
mdp.39015063942836	And now, where are you? mdp.39015063942836 And now, why did you — well — decamp, when Superin- tendent Haviland and an inspector of his called on you yester- day morning?"
mdp.39015063942836	And pray what is the essential fact or facts here?
mdp.39015063942836	And that's the best you can do as an alibi? mdp.39015063942836 And the key was on her key- ring, I suppose?"

mdp.39015063942836	And why did n't you write to Barbara to tell her the news?
mdp.39015063942836	And why do you'take it'that way?
mdp.39015063942836	And you did n't see her?
mdp.39015063942836	And you expect a jury to swallow it?
mdp.39015063942836	And you think in your theory they become translucent? mdp.39015063942836 And you yourself, Miss Ash, how did you come to be so close to Riverview?"
mdp.39015063942836	And your wife's notice of withdrawal of her funds?
mdp.39015063942836	Any children?
mdp.39015063942836	Any special reason you know of which is n't given in the reports for her to've killed herself?
mdp.39015063942836	Anything wrong?
mdp.39015063942836	Are we at last to be permitted to glimpse your meaning — to fathom the mysterious depths with which you credit that fact?
mdp.39015063942836	Are you going to tell that to any jury?

mdp.39015063942836	As a matter of fact, have you ever see her handling the revolver when you were in the room?

mdp.39015063942836	Break?
mdp.39015063942836	But a friend of your wife's, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942836	But her smart frock?
mdp.39015063942836	But how could there be a murder here? mdp.39015063942836 But how did you catch him?
mdp.39015063942836	But supposing this were a crime — which I'm perfectly satisfied it's not — on the evidence so far, that is to say — —"Perfectly satisfied? mdp.39015063942836 But the caller of later on?
mdp.39015063942836	But to oblige us? mdp.39015063942836 But was it Mrs. Tangye, or this mysterious visitor of hers that made her leave nothing among her papers bearing on her own affairs?

mdp.39015063942836	But you fish?
mdp.39015063942836	But you told me that there was no quarrel at all between them? mdp.39015063942836 But you?"
mdp.39015063942836	But — why?
mdp.39015063942836	Ca n't I help? mdp.39015063942836 Came from around here?
mdp.39015063942836	Can we look over your bedroom, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Can you come and see me? mdp.39015063942836 Can you recall the exact words in which she spoke of the letter?"
mdp.39015063942836	Can you suggest any reason why Mrs. Tangye went through her papers so thoroughly yesterday morning?
mdp.39015063942836	Come on anything, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Could it be locked?
mdp.39015063942836	Could you pick out a book of about the size of the package you saw in his hand?
mdp.39015063942836	Dace or roach, which?
mdp.39015063942836	Did I hear some one call? mdp.39015063942836 Did Mrs. Tangye want any particular book brought back, or leave it to you?"
mdp.39015063942836	Did Mrs. Tangye withdraw her will even temporarily from your keeping?
mdp.39015063942836	Did any one see you leave the house yesterday when you went to the circulating library?
mdp.39015063942836	Did any one telephone to you last Tuesday close on eight?
mdp.39015063942836	Did he say that he thought you innocent?
mdp.39015063942836	Did n't he say anything more? mdp.39015063942836 Did n't kill herself?
mdp.39015063942836	Did n't you read of the case in the papers, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Did n't you try to do something for her?
mdp.39015063942836	Did she ask you to leave the house?
mdp.39015063942836	Did she enjoy the show?
mdp.39015063942836	Did she see you?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you ask the librarian for any book?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you go alone?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you go back to the firsts one afterwards to inquire?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you meet any one you knew down there?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you see the revolver?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you send her the will?
mdp.39015063942836	Do n't you think so?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you give a fair exchange- rate?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you know the companion at Riverview?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you know what would happen to me if I let him go, and he were guilty?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you mean to say that you suspect this double confession or con- fidence, of just now? mdp.39015063942836 Do you really mean that you believe we could catch a criminal with nothing more to start on than the little we've got hold of so far?"
mdp.39015063942836	Do you remember just what she told the maid Monday evening over the'phone?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you still go by finger- prints?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you think he took Mrs. Tangye's keys off with him?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you think there's much difference in women?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you want us to list the money under'missing or stolen,'or only under'solen'?
mdp.39015063942836	Does Pointer go in for incantations? mdp.39015063942836 Does he?"
mdp.39015063942836	Does this mean that you think he's innocent?
mdp.39015063942836	Eh?
mdp.39015063942836	Eh?
mdp.39015063942836	Eh?
mdp.39015063942836	Enclosed car?
mdp.39015063942836	Equally unaware of why you did n't mention the fact to us?
mdp.39015063942836	Ever hunted?
mdp.39015063942836	Evidence of what? mdp.39015063942836 Finished?"
mdp.39015063942836	Flow the dickens- how the dickens did you learn of that? ”Routine work.
mdp.39015063942836	Forfeited it, in fact, by his treatment of her?
mdp.39015063942836	Genuine?
mdp.39015063942836	Got your car below? mdp.39015063942836 Guilty of stealing that money?
mdp.39015063942836	Had he a limp?
mdp.39015063942836	Had he anything in his hand?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she ever asked for her will back before?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she had it on before?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she no latch- key?
mdp.39015063942836	Had they been quarrelling, do you think?
mdp.39015063942836	Had they met since those early days?
mdp.39015063942836	Hart? mdp.39015063942836 Has anything fresh turned up, Mr. Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942836	Has he ever spoken to you about this proposition of his?
mdp.39015063942836	Has she changed her lot for the better?
mdp.39015063942836	Have n't I just said so? mdp.39015063942836 Have the Tangye's a dog?"
mdp.39015063942836	Have you any idea as to the nature of the change she wished to make?
mdp.39015063942836	Have you any place in your mind?
mdp.39015063942836	Have you opened it? mdp.39015063942836 Have you this promise of Mrs. Tangye's in writing?"
mdp.39015063942836	Have you written to Mrs. Tangye lately?
mdp.39015063942836	He looked towards the house?
mdp.39015063942836	He's her only living relative, I understand?
mdp.39015063942836	Headly? mdp.39015063942836 Help him afterwards?"
mdp.39015063942836	Help? mdp.39015063942836 Hence the yarn, you think?"
mdp.39015063942836	Her keys? mdp.39015063942836 Here?
mdp.39015063942836	How about her keys?
mdp.39015063942836	How black?
mdp.39015063942836	How could it have been one, sir? mdp.39015063942836 How do you prove a suicide?"
mdp.39015063942836	How does the woman's death strike you, Wilmot?
mdp.39015063942836	How long has Miss Ash been engaged?
mdp.39015063942836	How many more points do you want to prove that there's no crime here? mdp.39015063942836 How was it that the police only found a couple of logs alight in the morning- room fireplace when they were here yesterday evening?
mdp.39015063942836	I could n't get to you before, grandfather, how did it go? mdp.39015063942836 I do n't suppose you can help,"Mary went on forlornly,"but if you can think of some trifle?
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose Vardon'll be allowed to give his explanation?
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose he's been notified of her death?
mdp.39015063942836	I wonder if you'll think me a fraud? mdp.39015063942836 I wonder, if after all, it was a crime?
mdp.39015063942836	I, too, take it that you are not satisfied with the finding of this morning?
mdp.39015063942836	I? mdp.39015063942836 If I had money, Barby, should I be in the running?
mdp.39015063942836	If so, that would show?
mdp.39015063942836	In the wilds of Upper, or Nether Wallop?
mdp.39015063942836	Indeed, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Indeed? mdp.39015063942836 Is Philip cleared, Mr. Chief Inspector?
mdp.39015063942836	Is it true that Philip Vardon is leaving for Patagonia?
mdp.39015063942836	Is n't it rather like proving something to be a ghost? mdp.39015063942836 Is there a cat in the house?"
mdp.39015063942836	Is there anything wrong?
mdp.39015063942836	It's a censorious world,Pointer agreed,"still — you left • — when?"
mdp.39015063942836	Just what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063942836	Keen amateur photographer, is n't he? mdp.39015063942836 Know what?"
mdp.39015063942836	Leaving everything?
mdp.39015063942836	Leaving her on one side for the moment, how did you first learn that Mrs. Tangye was dead?
mdp.39015063942836	Letter?
mdp.39015063942836	M- m."Just so,Pointer agreed,"not so much look of suicide about that proviso as there might be, eh?"
mdp.39015063942836	May I ask why Mrs. Tangye wanted a companion origi- nally?
mdp.39015063942836	Me? mdp.39015063942836 Meet any friends?"
mdp.39015063942836	Meet any one you knew?
mdp.39015063942836	Miss Eden?
mdp.39015063942836	Miss Headly? mdp.39015063942836 Mr. Vardon?
mdp.39015063942836	Mr. Vardon? mdp.39015063942836 Mrs. Cranbourn, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Mrs. Tangye buried?
mdp.39015063942836	Much real difference?
mdp.39015063942836	My I ask the name of the friend who lives out Twicken- ham way?
mdp.39015063942836	My private door practically forced open like"Did you find it?
mdp.39015063942836	Newspaper man, you say? mdp.39015063942836 Nothing is missing, I understand?"
mdp.39015063942836	Now what did she mean by that?
mdp.39015063942836	Now, Superintendent, you saw, when you first came in here yesterday?
mdp.39015063942836	Now, about Mrs. Tangye, did you see her by chance in the garden before tea?
mdp.39015063942836	Now, this Mr. Philpotts.—he might be able to confirm that too?
mdp.39015063942836	Now, what's wrong?
mdp.39015063942836	Of yours, then?
mdp.39015063942836	Oh, Mr. Chief Inspector, have you found out yet if it was — an accident?
mdp.39015063942836	Oh? mdp.39015063942836 Oliver Headly?"
mdp.39015063942836	Partition between the driver and the other seats?
mdp.39015063942836	Pleasant lady, I understand?
mdp.39015063942836	Please say whether you did or not?
mdp.39015063942836	Pretty woman? mdp.39015063942836 Professor Orison?
mdp.39015063942836	Put my what on? mdp.39015063942836 Ready?"
mdp.39015063942836	Regarding it as what?
mdp.39015063942836	Safer? mdp.39015063942836 Shall I get out a warrant for his arrest?"
mdp.39015063942836	Shall I show you to the room, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Shall I tell you what I think is odd?
mdp.39015063942836	She did n't also write about withdrawing her money from her husband's firm? mdp.39015063942836 She handed you the will fastened up, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063942836	She struck you as really not angry? mdp.39015063942836 She's the owner of a'one- good- turn- a- day'nature, you think?
mdp.39015063942836	So if Mr. Vardon says Mrs. Tangye handed them to him, or dropped them in his room by accident, as she gave him the money, he's lying?
mdp.39015063942836	So you did write? mdp.39015063942836 Some important development, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942836	Something might turn up after you had left here?
mdp.39015063942836	Speak to any salesmen?
mdp.39015063942836	Striking appearance? mdp.39015063942836 Suicide?
mdp.39015063942836	Sunday?
mdp.39015063942836	Suppose Mrs. Tangye had been married before she met Branscombe? mdp.39015063942836 Suppose he were a convicted felon?
mdp.39015063942836	Supposed to be fairly well- to- do, is n't he?
mdp.39015063942836	Supposing — just for the moment — that such a being ex- ists, would n't any murderer have taken care to trump up some specious need for secrecy?
mdp.39015063942836	Sure he's dead?
mdp.39015063942836	Sure? mdp.39015063942836 Taxi waiting?"
mdp.39015063942836	Tell us once more about the visitor, what did she look like?
mdp.39015063942836	That clothing over there is what she was wearing when found, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942836	That was quite usual, was it?
mdp.39015063942836	The case is developing,Pointer assured him a little grimly,"but do you think it's quite fair to your old clerk to let him in for perjury?
mdp.39015063942836	The garden too?
mdp.39015063942836	Then for what reason did she stick to it?
mdp.39015063942836	Then how did you come to suggest him as a purchaser?
mdp.39015063942836	Then the lady must have been to Riverview before?
mdp.39015063942836	Then the secrecy was more important to her than to him, in your fascinating, but to me, quite impossible melodrama?
mdp.39015063942836	Then what did Mr. and Mrs. Tangye quarrel about on Monday afternoon? mdp.39015063942836 Then why did the steps stop, sir?"
mdp.39015063942836	Then you think her finger- prints were made for her? mdp.39015063942836 Then you think she was happy?"
mdp.39015063942836	Then your theory exonerates Tangye — I mean, if it's a fact that there's a criminal here?
mdp.39015063942836	Then, what's wrong?
mdp.39015063942836	Then, why did you run away?
mdp.39015063942836	There's a safe in your bedroom, I think?
mdp.39015063942836	There's no way down to the river from the house, is there?
mdp.39015063942836	Think so? mdp.39015063942836 Those on the bolts of the French windows inside the room were Miss Saunders's?"
mdp.39015063942836	To what?
mdp.39015063942836	To whom?
mdp.39015063942836	Tough chop?
mdp.39015063942836	Twenty pounds, you think? mdp.39015063942836 Vardon?
mdp.39015063942836	Vardon?
mdp.39015063942836	Was Mrs. Tangye alone?
mdp.39015063942836	Was Mrs. Tangye an impulsive woman?
mdp.39015063942836	Was Mrs. Tangye angry?
mdp.39015063942836	Was Mrs. Wren's husband a doctor? mdp.39015063942836 Was he a parson's son?"
mdp.39015063942836	Was his housekeeper in it all?
mdp.39015063942836	Was it connected with Miss Saunders, do you think? mdp.39015063942836 Was n't the room cold?"
mdp.39015063942836	Was n't the room cold?
mdp.39015063942836	Was she a frank woman herself?
mdp.39015063942836	Was she in communication with him at all?
mdp.39015063942836	Was she left- handed, by any chance?
mdp.39015063942836	Was the engine running?
mdp.39015063942836	Was there anything odd about his appearance? mdp.39015063942836 We're still uncertain about this affair,"Wilmot began on a sign from Pointer,"now what do you think about it?
mdp.39015063942836	Well, sir, cook thinks"We shall learn in good time what Cook thinks, but what about you? mdp.39015063942836 Well?
mdp.39015063942836	Well?
mdp.39015063942836	Well?
mdp.39015063942836	Were they peculiar footsteps?
mdp.39015063942836	Were they peculiar footsteps?
mdp.39015063942836	Were you ever a nurse?
mdp.39015063942836	Were you the passenger?
mdp.39015063942836	What about her cousin Oliver?
mdp.39015063942836	What about the past week- end?
mdp.39015063942836	What about yourself, heigh? mdp.39015063942836 What class had he gone then?"
mdp.39015063942836	What did Mr. Tangye do?
mdp.39015063942836	What did you do then?
mdp.39015063942836	What hour did Mrs. Tangye come to your room?
mdp.39015063942836	What hour did she die?
mdp.39015063942836	What in the world are you driving at, Pointer?
mdp.39015063942836	What made you choose the morning- room?
mdp.39015063942836	What makes you doubt what we've just heard?
mdp.39015063942836	What makes you so sure?
mdp.39015063942836	What on earth do you mean, Pointer?
mdp.39015063942836	What rune was this?
mdp.39015063942836	What was her husband?
mdp.39015063942836	What was in that package, sir, that you were seen carrying out of the tradesmen's gate at Riverview about half- past five?
mdp.39015063942836	What would you have?
mdp.39015063942836	What would you say was the most outstanding char- acteristic of Mrs. Tangye? mdp.39015063942836 What — on — earth — do — you — mean, Chief Inspector?"
mdp.39015063942836	What's a body more or less to you? mdp.39015063942836 What?"
mdp.39015063942836	Whatever is the matter?
mdp.39015063942836	When did you last see Mrs. Tangye at her safe?
mdp.39015063942836	When did you receive it?
mdp.39015063942836	Where does this lead to?
mdp.39015063942836	Where exactly were you?
mdp.39015063942836	Where would you like me to put you down?
mdp.39015063942836	Whether he is Tangye's friend and accomplice?
mdp.39015063942836	Who is he?
mdp.39015063942836	Who on earth are you?
mdp.39015063942836	Who pays the premiums?
mdp.39015063942836	Who's he to lose this time?
mdp.39015063942836	Whom do you suspect?
mdp.39015063942836	Why are you leaving?
mdp.39015063942836	Why brand myself as a suicide's husband? mdp.39015063942836 Why did Mrs. Tangye make a will in your favour?"
mdp.39015063942836	Why did n't you come to the funeral? mdp.39015063942836 Why do n't you believe Mrs. Tangye's death an accident, Haviland?"
mdp.39015063942836	Why do you think Mrs. Tangye's death was a murder?
mdp.39015063942836	Why does he wish to see it?
mdp.39015063942836	Why not shift him? mdp.39015063942836 Why not?
mdp.39015063942836	Why not?
mdp.39015063942836	Why should I believe it? mdp.39015063942836 Why should he go to the French window rather than to the front door?"
mdp.39015063942836	Why so? mdp.39015063942836 Why suppose?"
mdp.39015063942836	Why, who else could it be, sir? mdp.39015063942836 Why?
mdp.39015063942836	Worry?
mdp.39015063942836	Would she be likely to take a strained view of any- thing not in itself wrong?
mdp.39015063942836	Would you be prepared to swear that it had never reached you?
mdp.39015063942836	Yet, quibbling apart, you think it's one? mdp.39015063942836 You came immediately Florence screamed?"
mdp.39015063942836	You did n't hap- pen to notice them in the room on your return from the library? mdp.39015063942836 You did n't pass the house?"
mdp.39015063942836	You do n't know your landlord then?
mdp.39015063942836	You do n't think he's guilty, sir? mdp.39015063942836 You feel quite certain that he had not written to Mrs. Tangye in all these years?
mdp.39015063942836	You found no finger- prints in the room, except those of the people in the house?
mdp.39015063942836	You heard them, too?
mdp.39015063942836	You knew of the notice?
mdp.39015063942836	You knew the dead woman for many years?

mdp.39015063942836	You look a clever girl,Wilmot said flatteringly,"what's your opinion of this sad affair?
mdp.39015063942836	You mean I'm as suspect as all that?
mdp.39015063942836	You mean in fact that they quarrelled?
mdp.39015063942836	You mean the Insurance claim Tangye sent in by the eight o'clock evening post yesterday?
mdp.39015063942836	You mean the explanation as to whether it was suicide or accident? mdp.39015063942836 You mean the man downstairs?
mdp.39015063942836	You mean their talk after breakfast, sir? mdp.39015063942836 You mean you will make a murder out of it?"
mdp.39015063942836	You mean?
mdp.39015063942836	You never came upon any trace of any one who might have a claim on her? mdp.39015063942836 You remember the steamboat murder as it was called, just three years ago?
mdp.39015063942836	You spoke of Mrs. Tangye having killed herself,he be- gan,"why should she do that?
mdp.39015063942836	You still think it's safer not to let him talk to me?
mdp.39015063942836	You surely do n't wish Mrs. Tangye's murderer to escape justice?
mdp.39015063942836	You think his having been seen near Riverview at that hour so bad? mdp.39015063942836 You think it's genuine?"
mdp.39015063942836	You think she got out that way?
mdp.39015063942836	You think she's afraid of Tangye?
mdp.39015063942836	You took that formidable responsibility on yourself after one look?
mdp.39015063942836	You were n't discussing money affairs then?
mdp.39015063942836	You're sure Mrs. Tangye's death was suicide?
mdp.39015063942836	You're taking it to Mr. Vardon, of course?
mdp.39015063942836	You're trying to tell us, are n't you,he said very kindly,"that you were the visitor whom the maid mistook for Mrs. Cranburn?
mdp.39015063942836	You've got the bag? mdp.39015063942836 You've known it all along?"
mdp.39015063942836	You've no other reason for leaving?
mdp.39015063942836	You've nothing more to tell me?

mdp.39015063942836	All the notoriety?
mdp.39015063942836	All the ordeal?
mdp.39015063942836	An Oxford undergraduate?
mdp.39015063942836	An attack, not on your collection, but aimed solely at Miss Ash here?"
mdp.39015063942836	Anc that's something to go on, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063942836	And I ask you again, was there nothing known to you in her past which Mrs. Tangye wished kept a secret?"
mdp.39015063942836	And I should think that's another essential in the case?"
mdp.39015063942836	And once again, what about the woman who came at six, and said she was frightfully late?
mdp.39015063942836	And that's the whole secret, ai n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	And the gentleman arriving first, shoots her as a lesson not to meddle?"
mdp.39015063942836	And what was the result of her efforts?
mdp.39015063942836	And why not leave her papers?
mdp.39015063942836	Are you coming with us, Haviland?"

mdp.39015063942836	As to its having been substantiated by my sister — why not?
mdp.39015063942836	At that hour, and all bundled up from a journey?"
mdp.39015063942836	Because Mrs. Tangye saw her husband and her companion looking at orchids together?
mdp.39015063942836	Been easily recognised again?"
mdp.39015063942836	Between ourselves?"
mdp.39015063942836	Bisley prize- winner, or something of that kind?"
mdp.39015063942836	But about just now — how did he manage to tie himself up like that?
mdp.39015063942836	But according to Pointer?
mdp.39015063942836	But apart from probability, was there even the possibility of such a plan as that would mean, having been carried out here?
mdp.39015063942836	But do you remem- ber hearing of the death of a Mrs. Tangye just over a week ago?"
mdp.39015063942836	But drowned?
mdp.39015063942836	But even as it is, what became of her?"
mdp.39015063942836	But how about the will if Hart were not Vardon?
mdp.39015063942836	But how are you mixed up in this?"
mdp.39015063942836	But how to get on the track of them?
mdp.39015063942836	But if so, what had she received in exchange?
mdp.39015063942836	But now?
mdp.39015063942836	But speaking about that visitor, how did she get out?
mdp.39015063942836	But supposing that Mrs. Tangye's husband had been in the artist's rooms last Tuesday, what would have taken him there?
mdp.39015063942836	But the point was, how to get into touch with her past?
mdp.39015063942836	But this brother — you think he may be of help?"
mdp.39015063942836	But was it he who had used it?
mdp.39015063942836	But was it made by her revolver?
mdp.39015063942836	But what about the fire itself?"
mdp.39015063942836	But what about yourself?"
mdp.39015063942836	But what if he's too clever to make any move?"
mdp.39015063942836	But what on earth has that to do; with me?"
mdp.39015063942836	But when I think of the poor mistress sitting there""Did the visitor step towards the morning- room as though she knew the house?"
mdp.39015063942836	But whose benefit?
mdp.39015063942836	But whose steps were they?
mdp.39015063942836	But why had Tangye paused once again outside to listen?
mdp.39015063942836	But why this interest in a chap who's dead?"
mdp.39015063942836	But will you let me have this — without looking at it yourself?
mdp.39015063942836	But would that word be spoken here?
mdp.39015063942836	But you're certain it was n't he who was in a rage?"
mdp.39015063942836	By the way, how about the man you sent down to Tunbridge with the family portrait- album?"
mdp.39015063942836	Ca n't you think of anything we can do?"
mdp.39015063942836	Can I help?"
mdp.39015063942836	Christian name?"
mdp.39015063942836	Comprehensible?
mdp.39015063942836	Cook and Olive and me, we've put all the greenery around we can, but it's not a room fit for a corpse, is it, sir?"
mdp.39015063942836	Could Fido tell me why Miss Saunders gave no thought as to how that visitor got out?
mdp.39015063942836	Could Mr. Vardon spare him a few minutes in private?
mdp.39015063942836	Could Mrs. Tangye have had a sister after all?
mdp.39015063942836	Could he be guilty?
mdp.39015063942836	Could it have been a camera?
mdp.39015063942836	Could you tell us when that was?"
mdp.39015063942836	Cranbourn?"
mdp.39015063942836	D'you mind coming in later on?
mdp.39015063942836	Did Stone remem- ber any one calling at his shop last Monday, and buying a •will- form?
mdp.39015063942836	Did Tangye know of that gift of the money — or of the will?
mdp.39015063942836	Did Tangye know this?
mdp.39015063942836	Did Tangye suddenly realise that the question of murder was in the air?
mdp.39015063942836	Did any one else at Riverview photograph?
mdp.39015063942836	Did he know what had become of him?
mdp.39015063942836	Did he see himself as Vardon's successor in the list of suspects, and decided to block that eventuality?
mdp.39015063942836	Did he want to scotch, not so much a present, un- founded accusation, as a possibly well- founded one in the future?
mdp.39015063942836	Did she love Vardon?
mdp.39015063942836	Did they know his profession?
mdp.39015063942836	Did you make any arrangements on Mon- THE FOOTSTEPS THAT STOPPED 77"But who would steal bank- notes?"
mdp.39015063942836	Did you notice it when I was telling the Assistant Commissioner and you two about the Hart marriage?

mdp.39015063942836	Did you, Miss Saunders?"
mdp.39015063942836	Do I disturb you?"
mdp.39015063942836	Do n't you see?"
mdp.39015063942836	Do you know the facts against you?
mdp.39015063942836	Do you think that Mrs. Tangye meant to shoot her- 46 THE FOOTSTEPS THAT STOPPED self, or was it a genuine accident?

mdp.39015063942836	Ever been there?"
mdp.39015063942836	Fair- haired?"
mdp.39015063942836	Florence, she thinks""We know what your sister thinks,"Pointer assured her pleasantly,"but you now?"
mdp.39015063942836	For a criminal prosecution?
mdp.39015063942836	Forgive my frank- ness,"Wilmot stifled a yawn,"but why cudgel your brains for some recondite solution?
mdp.39015063942836	Glasshouses are stuffy things at best, are n't they?
mdp.39015063942836	Goes into a flat case like this?"
mdp.39015063942836	Grandfather?
mdp.39015063942836	Granted that the firer was an intimate friend, companion, husband even, how could they have got that weapon so close against her?
mdp.39015063942836	Had Haviland been right in the beginning?
mdp.39015063942836	Had Smith ever chanced to come across a man called in England, Oliver Headly?
mdp.39015063942836	Had Tangye given her this?
mdp.39015063942836	Had a reconciliation of sorts taken place?
mdp.39015063942836	Had any such ship signalled to a little steamer called the Sea- foam?
mdp.39015063942836	Had he approached him about this"gold mine"of his in South America?
mdp.39015063942836	Had he come to search the artist's rooms for them?
mdp.39015063942836	Had he overlooked something?
mdp.39015063942836	Had he — the stranger — done this thing?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she been quite honest on Saturday with her talk of money as the test of character?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she bought Vardon's release with the torture of another man?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she prodded the other side of him instead?
mdp.39015063942836	Had she turned an innocent man into a criminal?
mdp.39015063942836	Had the cousins met at Tunbridge Wells?
mdp.39015063942836	Had there been a bag at all, or had there not?
mdp.39015063942836	Has a family?
mdp.39015063942836	Have you any idea how they got in his possession?"
mdp.39015063942836	Have you been here long?"
mdp.39015063942836	He built the Chelsea war memorial, I think?"
mdp.39015063942836	He had run to meet the girl,"The end house?"
mdp.39015063942836	He was hovering around Twickenham on Tuesday to see you?
mdp.39015063942836	How about changing your name?"
mdp.39015063942836	How about it?"
mdp.39015063942836	How about it?"
mdp.39015063942836	How can I believe you now?"
mdp.39015063942836	How could a revolver have been got as near as that by any hand but her own, without alarming Mrs. Tangye?
mdp.39015063942836	How could it have been done?
mdp.39015063942836	How could she have acted otherwise?
mdp.39015063942836	How did you get out of the house, Olive?
mdp.39015063942836	How had they got into Tangye's possession?
mdp.39015063942836	How long would you think?"
mdp.39015063942836	How much did she have to leave?"
mdp.39015063942836	How should I have?"
mdp.39015063942836	How to act quickly and yet most efficaciously?
mdp.39015063942836	How to begin?
mdp.39015063942836	I am Professor Orison and — is your young friend ill?"
mdp.39015063942836	I am to understand then that your firm is not involved in its difficulties?"
mdp.39015063942836	I ca n't believe that there was no reference to money?"
mdp.39015063942836	I can see how you prove a murder, but a negative?"
mdp.39015063942836	I do n't know if you've ever heard the name?"
mdp.39015063942836	I know he's innocent"her eyes met her fiance's for one magic moment,"but is he cleared?"
mdp.39015063942836	I mean anything that would attract attention?
mdp.39015063942836	I mean did n't she have to separate it from any other notes?"
mdp.39015063942836	I mean, before Florence came in?"
mdp.39015063942836	I mean, is that a very important thing against him?"
mdp.39015063942836	I noticed, as possibly you did, that she refused to spend any night at Riverview?"
mdp.39015063942836	I should have had him kicked out inside of ten seconds, and as for Mrs. Tangye! I suppose you know something of his record?"
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose Inspector Watts has been bringing you up to date as you came along?"
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose it's one of the usual fold- up kodaks?
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose the case is closed, as far as the police are concerned?
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose you chatter Patagonian too, like a native, and will be off there before we know where you are?"
mdp.39015063942836	I suppose you're getting into touch with the Frenchman, Filon?"
mdp.39015063942836	I take it it was about eight?"
mdp.39015063942836	I thought he had got away from here?"
mdp.39015063942836	I wish to Heaven she could be jailed, but I suppose there's no chance of that?"
mdp.39015063942836	I wonder what he would say to giving up the round in a fit of sulks?"
mdp.39015063942836	I wonder what really did happen to them?"
mdp.39015063942836	If I had killed her, would n't I be the first to snatch at the chance of accusing Mr. Vardon?
mdp.39015063942836	If I were prosperous, and all that, would you marry me?"
mdp.39015063942836	If so, was it accompanied by other papers of which he wished the police to remain in ignorance?"
mdp.39015063942836	If the great Wilmot found it well to stay, where lay the point of their going on?
mdp.39015063942836	If the latter, what is the motive?
mdp.39015063942836	In Heaven's name, why?"
mdp.39015063942836	In striving to rouse the best had she stirred up the worst?
mdp.39015063942836	Interested in palmistry, Haviland?"
mdp.39015063942836	Is n't it more elaborate than she usually wore of an afternoon?"
mdp.39015063942836	Is she as pretty as they say?"
mdp.39015063942836	Is that the Insurance Company speaking?"
mdp.39015063942836	Is that the case?
mdp.39015063942836	Is there a camera in the house that I can borrow?"
mdp.39015063942836	Is this at all like the lady you call Mrs. Hart?
mdp.39015063942836	It seemed to Pointer to be chanting"Accident — Suicide — Mur- der?
mdp.39015063942836	It was Banks, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063942836	Just for a night or two?"
mdp.39015063942836	Love?"
mdp.39015063942836	Man's or woman's?
mdp.39015063942836	Might have accompanied it by some speech such as:"If I give you this, will you let bygones be bygones?"
mdp.39015063942836	Mrs. Tangye's death?
mdp.39015063942836	My secretary?
mdp.39015063942836	Newcomer to these waters, you say, sir?
mdp.39015063942836	Not after those keys?"
mdp.39015063942836	Now, sir, since we're all here as your guests would you like to hear the real reason for the attack this afternoon?
mdp.39015063942836	Now, what shall it be?"
mdp.39015063942836	Now, what's your answer?
mdp.39015063942836	Of her attitude to life I mean?"
mdp.39015063942836	Of the'footsteps that stopped,'in other words?
mdp.39015063942836	Oliver Headly's?
mdp.39015063942836	Or do you suggest that Mrs. Tangye was playing the part of Providence to a young couple?
mdp.39015063942836	Or is their absence unconnected with her death?"
mdp.39015063942836	Or on the eve of another marriage?
mdp.39015063942836	Or those of some still unknown, unsuspected person, some tremendously important person in Mrs. Tangye's life?
mdp.39015063942836	Or was it something else, deeper?
mdp.39015063942836	Or was the widower merely a belatedly honest man?
mdp.39015063942836	Or was this merely a chance resemblance?
mdp.39015063942836	Or were Tangye and Vardon in collusion?
mdp.39015063942836	Or what about Filon, the Frenchman?
mdp.39015063942836	Or, married?
mdp.39015063942836	Orison shrilled,"What hour was it when you came here?
mdp.39015063942836	Parson's daughter?
mdp.39015063942836	Perhaps there was an old one of Mrs. Tangye's that he could have for the time being?
mdp.39015063942836	Phil's bag?
mdp.39015063942836	Pointer echoed,"what did she mean by that?"
mdp.39015063942836	Pointer left time for a little pause, then he said:"You heard from Mr. Tangye, I see, about our visit?"
mdp.39015063942836	Pointer seemed to ruminate,"isn!t he a crack shot?
mdp.39015063942836	Prove for us that Mrs. Tangye's death, was, what I believe it was, a suicide?"
mdp.39015063942836	Rajah's son found murdered and some thousands of pounds of Bearer bonds missing?
mdp.39015063942836	Rather good, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063942836	Say, after dinner?
mdp.39015063942836	She had everything in the world that she wanted, had n't she?"
mdp.39015063942836	She struck me as being in a most extraordinary — I do n't know what to call it — mood — state of mind?
mdp.39015063942836	She was very agitated, you said, I think?"
mdp.39015063942836	Sift any claims that Tangye may make?
mdp.39015063942836	So he stole groceries for his shop, did he?
mdp.39015063942836	So is the pen, perhaps, but that writing?"
mdp.39015063942836	Stick in the memory?
mdp.39015063942836	Straight on up to Heaven?
mdp.39015063942836	Suppose he had ingratiated himself with her?
mdp.39015063942836	Suppose he had talked of starting life again together?
mdp.39015063942836	Suppose that husband in need of money?
mdp.39015063942836	Suppose you wished afterwards you'd put things differently, might n't it worry you?

mdp.39015063942836	You can quite see now why she would give him that money, that fifteen hundred, ca n't you, and promise him the remainder of what the house fetched?"

nnc1.1002152240	Do you ever think of that morning at the Morgue? ”"I was n't made to look backward, ” said Radwala- der.
nnc1.1002152240	Do you fancy I'm afraid of you?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you imagine I ca n't send you there now?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you know the Flament- Gontouts, Mrs. Carnby?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you love Margery? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	Do you object?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you realize that I've not spent six full months in Paris since I was a little girl?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you realize what all this meant?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you remember Wordsworth?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you remember that when one of the old prophets undertook to haul a monarch over the coals for his misdeeds, he would always begin with a parable?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you remember the sheen of the pebbles, the soft pinks and grays of the starfish?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you remember what it was?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you remember when we were reading Tennyson at Beverly—“The Lotus Eaters'? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	Do you see?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you see?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you take me for a Jules Vicot, at least?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you think I'd hesi- tate for a wink about throwing you overboard, body and soul, if I did n't find you useful?
nnc1.1002152240	Do you think you can accustom yourself to the change?"
nnc1.1002152240	Does n't he kick up his heels and snort?
nnc1.1002152240	Does what has been between us mean nothing to you?
nnc1.1002152240	Er- have you ever thought of marrying? ” Mother and Daughter.
nnc1.1002152240	Fairy godmother, what shall I say?
nnc1.1002152240	Have I ever suggested – have I ever said a word to justify such a monstrous thing?
nnc1.1002152240	Have I your permission? ” “ You're strangely ceremonious of a sudden, ” 62 The Girl in Red.
nnc1.1002152240	Have n't you a special talent? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	Have you been here long, Mr. Vane? ” 44 New Friends and Old.
nnc1.1002152240	How do you go about it?
nnc1.1002152240	How old might the young gentlemen be? ” Mr. Carnby made a mental calculation.
nnc1.1002152240	How should you?
nnc1.1002152240	I know about all of them. ”"Oh, do you? ” said Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	I wonder if you'd mind — calling me — that?"
nnc1.1002152240	I'm not supposed to know, am I, about such things?
nnc1.1002152240	I've been a faithful partner to you, have n't I?
nnc1.1002152240	If one's doing no harm, why not go on?
nnc1.1002152240	If one's to blame, why not pull up short? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	In affairs like this, the first course is humble- pie, but the pièce de résistance is invariably fatted calf! ” “ Cut loose from Mirabelle?"
nnc1.1002152240	Is it any wonder that I came to love you?—you who alone of all men yielded me the exquisite homage of respect?
nnc1.1002152240	Is it ever “ too late to mend ”?
nnc1.1002152240	Is it possible you do n't know I love you — that I've always loved you, ever since first I saw you?
nnc1.1002152240	Is n't he called the ‘ Copper Czar'? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	Is n't it full of suggestion and appeal?
nnc1.1002152240	Is n't it? ” “ Yes! ” she answered, with her eyes on his.
nnc1.1002152240	Is n't that- excuse me — but is n't it rather like trafficking with one's ideas of right and wrong?
nnc1.1002152240	Is there anything comparable to these, in the artistic combination of all the gilt paint and baby- ribbon in the world?
nnc1.1002152240	It is one to be commended for its brevity. ” “ The ladies? ” suggested Jeremy, interrogatively.
nnc1.1002152240	It would n't have done for Miss Palffy to humiliate herself; and the little Tremonceau —"“ Is his mistress?"
nnc1.1002152240	Jer know w'a'I've done t Paruss?
nnc1.1002152240	Mademoiselle'Tremonceau greeted him with a nod, a gloved hand, and a “ Comment vas- tu? ” “ B’en, pas mal, merci,"answered Radwalader.
nnc1.1002152240	Marriage?
nnc1.1002152240	Mooning over the loved one's portrait? ” 224 Cash!
nnc1.1002152240	My dear girl, you know I love you love you better than anything in the world, except Jeremy?
nnc1.1002152240	No?
nnc1.1002152240	Oh, my dear Radwalader, I mourn my find, I do indeed. ” “ But about the apartment? ” suggested Radwala- der.
nnc1.1002152240	Only twenty- two fifty?
nnc1.1002152240	Paris?
nnc1.1002152240	Perhaps you'd like to stay and learn yours? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	Shall we go now?
nnc1.1002152240	She made no motion to withdraw it, but looked him frankly in the eyes.. “ We've been neglecting you, have n't we? ” she said.
nnc1.1002152240	Tell me — have you seen Mr. Radwalader lately? ” “ Last night.
nnc1.1002152240	Tell me: what have I done, that you treat me almost as a stranger? ” “ I'm sorry, very sorry, ” said Margery earnestly.
nnc1.1002152240	The Bois?
nnc1.1002152240	The Exposition?
nnc1.1002152240	The creature was born in Worcester — and do you know, Jeremy, I'm posi- tive she buys her gowns at an upholsterer's?
nnc1.1002152240	The girl I asked to marry me flung me off because because"“ Because of me?"
nnc1.1002152240	The old, old story, eh, Vane?
nnc1.1002152240	The past is the past, do you hear?
nnc1.1002152240	Then- “ Had n't you? ” he said, with a short laugh.
nnc1.1002152240	They gossiped about him, each to each, among themselves?
nnc1.1002152240	They trusted hearsay, did they?
nnc1.1002152240	This other woman- do you love her?
nnc1.1002152240	Was it Margery?
nnc1.1002152240	Was it Mirabelle?
nnc1.1002152240	Was it too late?
nnc1.1002152240	Was it- before? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then she had no grounds for what she said?
nnc1.1002152240	Was it- before? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then she had no grounds for what she said?
nnc1.1002152240	Well, then, I ask you — why did n't you?
nnc1.1002152240	Well? ” Vicot stared at him blankly, his hand groping in his pocket.
nnc1.1002152240	What a thing to have stand- ing between you, eh?
nnc1.1002152240	What are you accusing me of?
nnc1.1002152240	What could Jeremy Carnby have been thinking of, to take you to such a place?"
nnc1.1002152240	What did I tell you?
nnc1.1002152240	What did you mean? ” He stood up as he spoke, came quite close to her, and took her hands.
nnc1.1002152240	What do you mean by all this?
nnc1.1002152240	What had been his reward?
nnc1.1002152240	What has changed you?
nnc1.1002152240	What shall I say?
nnc1.1002152240	What then?
nnc1.1002152240	What was it — what was this thing which he under- stood and did not understand?
nnc1.1002152240	What was it?
nnc1.1002152240	What were you doing — visiting the serres?"
nnc1.1002152240	What would you say if you knew —? ” “ I know already! ” answered the girl.
nnc1.1002152240	Whatever set you thinking about that? ” “ I'm sure I do n't know, ” said Margery, with a short laugh.
nnc1.1002152240	When was it, I ask you?
nnc1.1002152240	When we leave here, perhaps you'd like to go out to the races for a while?
nnc1.1002152240	Why did n't you ask him one straight question, if that was what you wanted to know?
nnc1.1002152240	Why did n't you ask me before it was too late?
nnc1.1002152240	Why did n't you speak then, before you'd thrown all these away, sold your birthright, and become like all the rest?
nnc1.1002152240	Why impossible? ”"It's hard to explain — that, ” said Mrs. Carnby, “ but those women do n't wear.
nnc1.1002152240	Why should I?
nnc1.1002152240	Why, what are you thinking of, man?
nnc1.1002152240	Will all this procure you what you want? ” “ I do n't know,"faltered Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	Will you ask your man to say so? ” “ Certainly."
nnc1.1002152240	Will you be the next? ” “ Do you mean that Miss Palffy is going to marry you? ” asked Radwalader, coming to a full stop.
nnc1.1002152240	Will you be the next? ” “ Do you mean that Miss Palffy is going to marry you? ” asked Radwalader, coming to a full stop.
nnc1.1002152240	Will you forgive me, Margery? ” “ I want to ask you just one question,"said Mar- gery steadily.
nnc1.1002152240	Will you let me tell you? ” Margery nodded.
nnc1.1002152240	Will you please go now — at once? ” Andrew dropped his hands, and searched her face with his eyes.
nnc1.1002152240	Will you tell me just what you meant by that?
nnc1.1002152240	You do n't think me impertinent? ” “ Not in the least,"said Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	You know what I demand. ” “ And if I refuse? ” suggested Radwalader.
nnc1.1002152240	You know what somebody says?
nnc1.1002152240	You really are young, are n't you?
nnc1.1002152240	You remember dear old Sir Peter Teazle?
nnc1.1002152240	You threaten me?
nnc1.1002152240	You wo n't think me vain if I say all men ca n't be Jeremy Carnbys?
nnc1.1002152240	You're not the first, as yet, and you've just proved that you're not the last. ”"I'm not the second, I hope?"
nnc1.1002152240	You've been holding me at a distance, have n't you?
nnc1.1002152240	my duty toward myself?
nnc1.1002152240	why will you ask such questions? ” “ It was stupid of me,"he admitted.
nnc1.1002152240	“ A telegram? ” he repeated, and then drew out the blue missive which had arrived, almost simul- taneously with Mirabelle, three weeks before.
nnc1.1002152240	“ After all, why should you?
nnc1.1002152240	“ And flops over and dies? ” asked Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ And the pay? ” A Revolt Suppressed.
nnc1.1002152240	“ And you're afraid —? ” he began.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Anything gone wrong? ” “ Oh no!
nnc1.1002152240	“ Are there any in particular whom you'd like to meet?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Are you a man or a devil? ” she said.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Are you any the wiser? ” “ What does it mean? ” asked Vicot, looking down at him.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Are you any the wiser? ” “ What does it mean? ” asked Vicot, looking down at him.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Are you going to play bridge afterwards?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Are you married, Mr. Vane? ” “ Good gracious, no! ” said Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Can you guess what I was thinking? ” he asked, with a slightly embarrassed laugh.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Civil engineering? ” repeated Mrs. Carnby.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Combien est- ce que tu me donnes, beau brun?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Cut loose from Mirabelle? ” “ Obviously.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Did she? ” answered Radwalader.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Did you suppose I did n't know?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do I need one-- since I know?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you love me- now? ” “ Love you? ” answered Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you love me- now? ” “ Love you? ” answered Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you mean it, Margery? ” “ I was never more in earnest, ” answered the girl, turning suddenly grave again.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you mean, ” he asked, “ that this is the end? ” “ The end? ” she repeated.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you mean, ” he asked, “ that this is the end? ” “ The end? ” she repeated.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you remember how we used to rave over it at Beverly?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you see? ” she added.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Do you think me very un- charitable?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Does it seem to you so very wonderful?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Eh? ” said Radwalader.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Fairy godmother, ” she said, “ you do n't want me to believe that, do you?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Fleas, mother?
nnc1.1002152240	“ For example? ” “ Well, for example, French women.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Have I asked you for an explanation?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Have they gone? ” “ No, of course not, stupid! ” retorted his wife.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Have you lost your tongue? ” demanded the lat- ter presently, with manifest irritation.
nnc1.1002152240	“ He said of his own accord that — that there is such a woman. ” “ And what else? ” demanded Mrs. Carnby.
nnc1.1002152240	“ He was daft on baccarat, and if he had to lose, why not to me as well as another?
nnc1.1002152240	“ How do you do? ” she said.
nnc1.1002152240	“ I mean, have you ever seen- here in Paris, for instance — any particular man whom it has seemed to you you might- er- love?
nnc1.1002152240	“ I suppose it's the young chap? ” “ Yes.
nnc1.1002152240	“ If I agree?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Is it a joke? ” “ Oh, as far as possible from anything of the kind, ” retorted Mirabelle.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Is it another game of shadow? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Is it that association and sympathy are merely the result of chance?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Is it yes, or no? ” he added.
nnc1.1002152240	“ It was for this, ” he faltered, “ that you told me to come here to ask you anything I chose? ”.
nnc1.1002152240	“ It's all right between us?
nnc1.1002152240	“ It's ten minutes past three. ”"Am I as regular as that? ” he laughed.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Le grand serieux?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Margery – Margery! ” “ Do you deny it?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Money? ” demanded Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ No sooner said than done, ” agreed Radwalader, and, leaning forward across Norrich, he added: “ I say, Peake, move up here, will you?
nnc1.1002152240	“ No?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Now I come to think of it, ” observed young Lister vacuously, “ she's his second wife, Madame Palffy — or is she?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Now it's all right, is n't it? ” he asked.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Please do n't! ” “ After all, ” said Mirabelle, “ what difference?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Shall I speak plainly?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Shall I stop for you, Mr. Radwalader? ” “ By all means.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Shall we take a walk in the garden? ” asked Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ She's one of the brightest women in Paris. ” “ And alone? ” said Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Some one told me he was fast going to the-er-"“ Cats? ” suggested Kennedy amiably.
nnc1.1002152240	“ The end- er- of what?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ The good old days at Beverly — what? ” said Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Then why~"“ Oh, how can I explain to you? ” he exclaimed, rising in his turn.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Then you've noticed? ” “ I've noticed- yes.
nnc1.1002152240	“ There shall be no other woman to come between him and the one he wants to marry?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Three days. ” “ Do you speak French? ” put in Mrs. Carnby.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Twenty? ” she echoed.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Well, Jules?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Well- are you?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Well? ” she said finally.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Well? ” she suggested.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What are you saying? ” he demanded hotly.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What are you talking about? ” asked Mrs. Ratchett, suddenly abandoning the argument in which it was evident that she was coming out second best.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What did you mean? ” he repeated.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What does it mean, all this palaver?
nnc1.1002152240	“ What have I to do with it?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ What is all this you're saying, Mar- gery?
nnc1.1002152240	“ What is it?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ What rubbish is this? ” he demanded, almost roughly.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What's the use of all this talk?
nnc1.1002152240	“ What? ” asked Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What? ” asked Radwalader, surprised at the sudden exclamation.
nnc1.1002152240	“ What? ” demanded Mrs. Carnby.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Whatever I meant, it can make no difference now. ” “ No difference, Margery?
nnc1.1002152240	“ When I accused you of — of that- the other night, was I right or wrong? ” “ Wrong,"said Andrew Vane; “ but now ”.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Why impossible? ” demanded Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Why not, indeed? ” said Mrs. Carnby.
nnc1.1002152240	“ Why should I be?
nnc1.1002152240	“ Why- why?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Will you play some of the ‘ Garden'now?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ Yes — because of you. ” “ And when was this?
nnc1.1002152240	“ You and Mr. Radwalader are old friends? ” asked the girl.
nnc1.1002152240	“ You are in distress, madame?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ You asked him? ” began Radwalader.
nnc1.1002152240	“ You continue to like him?"
nnc1.1002152240	“ You do n't resent my speaking to you in this way? ” he asked.
nnc1.1002152240	“ You know what that means, do n't you?
nnc1.1002152240	“ You remember, perhaps, what you said to me the other day in Paris — about fighting a good fight, and keeping the faith?
nnc1.1002152240	“ You said, ” he began, “ that only one thing could justify What is it?
nnc1.1002152240	“ You were expecting me? ” he asked, as he dropped upon the cushions beside her.
nnc1.1002152240	“ You're not angry? ” “ Angry? ” said Andrew.
nnc1.1002152240	“ You're not angry? ” “ Angry? ” said Andrew.

nyp.33433074878301	Or shall I fade out, and let her learn the worst after I'm gone? nyp.33433074878301 Shall I tell her?"
nyp.33433074878301	Sing?
nyp.33433074878301	Tarrant — rMorley Tarrant?
nyp.33433074878301	Tell me, Old Thing, what's the matter?
nyp.33433074878301	Then there is a specific reason why we should not stay at the same hotel, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	Then we'll break our journey at San Sebastian, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	Then you will follow, of course? nyp.33433074878301 To London — why?"
nyp.33433074878301	We've finished here, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	Well, and what of it?
nyp.33433074878301	Well? nyp.33433074878301 Well?
nyp.33433074878301	Well?
nyp.33433074878301	What about your friend Elsie?
nyp.33433074878301	What do you suggest?
nyp.33433074878301	What do you threaten?
nyp.33433074878301	What mes- sage have you for me?
nyp.33433074878301	What's been the matter?
nyp.33433074878301	When are you going to Spain?
nyp.33433074878301	When will your father be back, do you think?
nyp.33433074878301	When?
nyp.33433074878301	Who is he?
nyp.33433074878301	Who's that man?
nyp.33433074878301	Why in the name of Fate did the old fool bring her here?
nyp.33433074878301	Why should your father have as friend a man who robs a bank, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	Why? nyp.33433074878301 Why?"
nyp.33433074878301	Why?
nyp.33433074878301	Why?
nyp.33433074878301	Why?
nyp.33433074878301	Why?
nyp.33433074878301	Will you leave it all to me?
nyp.33433074878301	Wo n't it be fun, Lola?
nyp.33433074878301	You do not suspect the Admiral?
nyp.33433074878301	You have listened in secret, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	You'll order a drink and pay for mine, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	You're Mr. Hargreave, are n't you?
nyp.33433074878301	--------------*--- •*-----**---**-----------*,--------------- •?
nyp.33433074878301	240 THE GOLDEN FACE"Let's hope the old boy will sleep comfortably, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	6 THE GOLDEN FACE"Why the dickens does he want to know if I sing?"
nyp.33433074878301	86820 99 100 THE GOLDEN FACE"Have you seen him?"
nyp.33433074878301	Am I to report that to Duperre — that you refuse?"
nyp.33433074878301	And if I, in turn, gave information against him, what could I really prove?
nyp.33433074878301	And my love was, I believed, reciprocated, but how could I admit my shameful compact with her father?
nyp.33433074878301	And wo n't the fur fly then, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	And yet was not Zuccari a frequent visitor at the Palazzo Romanelli, for it was there I had first met him?
nyp.33433074878301	And you know the other ornaments I have — which I might very well never have seen again, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	Are you quite certain of it?"
nyp.33433074878301	Are you sad that we should meet here — in Paris?"
nyp.33433074878301	At what time?"
nyp.33433074878301	Back all right, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	Blumenfeld?"
nyp.33433074878301	But how many of us can completely master our moods, our impulses and our emotions on all occasions?
nyp.33433074878301	But let's get away, Hargreave — back to London, I think, do n't you?"
nyp.33433074878301	But surely the banker Zuccari could not be a crook?
nyp.33433074878301	But what had really occurred, I wondered?
nyp.33433074878301	But what was the real object of my mission?
nyp.33433074878301	But why and how, I wondered, had Lola's suspicions heen aroused?
nyp.33433074878301	But why are we meeting her?"
nyp.33433074878301	But why should I be sent to meet the mysterious hunchback Tarrant on Clifton Bridge?
nyp.33433074878301	But why, I wondered, was Lola so palpably beneath her influence?
nyp.33433074878301	But why?
nyp.33433074878301	But would it further infuriate her?
nyp.33433074878301	Can you never reciprocate my affection?"
nyp.33433074878301	Can you sing?"
nyp.33433074878301	Could it be because they feared they were being watched?
nyp.33433074878301	Could it be that the suit- case contained stolen jewelry and not documents?
nyp.33433074878301	Could such a wealthy patriotic woman, whose husband is one of Italy's most famous ad- mirals, possibly be anything other than honest and upright?"
nyp.33433074878301	Did he tell you?"
nyp.33433074878301	Did she know of my connection with"The Golden Face"?
nyp.33433074878301	Had a nice time — eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	Hargreave?"
nyp.33433074878301	Hargreave?"
nyp.33433074878301	Hargreave?"
nyp.33433074878301	Have n't you seen her wearing her pearls?"
nyp.33433074878301	He might have suc- ceeded had he made the hump on his back a hard one, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	How?"
nyp.33433074878301	I hope you're not a business man?"
nyp.33433074878301	I knew that the broken gold was safely at the bottom of the Seine, but where were the gems?
nyp.33433074878301	I laughed, and said:"Then if not, why may I not be permitted to look inside your husband's family heirloom?"
nyp.33433074878301	I put out my arm, and peering into the man's face, asked:"Is there nothing else, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	I suppose you've got your sleeping berths from Paris to- night?"
nyp.33433074878301	If Duperre had taken them, how had he got rid of them?
nyp.33433074878301	If so, what was the motive of his close association with the Marchesa Romanelli?
nyp.33433074878301	Larroca?"
nyp.33433074878301	Mr. Rudolph Rayne, I presume?"
nyp.33433074878301	My visitor looked me very straight in the face with his searching eyes, and after a moment's pause, asked:"Is that really your decision?
nyp.33433074878301	Only not a soul must know about it — you understand?"
nyp.33433074878301	Peggy was the thief?
nyp.33433074878301	Rayne?"
nyp.33433074878301	See, Har- greave?
nyp.33433074878301	So you are his new chauffeur, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	THE SILVER SPIDER 159 Why?
nyp.33433074878301	THE SILVER SPIDER 167 j""Then you fear me — eh?'
nyp.33433074878301	Tele- phone to me in confidence after you've been to Ripley, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074878301	Then he asked:"Will you not reconsider your decision, Signor Hargreave?
nyp.33433074878301	Then turning to his wife, he said:"Just bring Lu Chang in, will you, Hylda?"
nyp.33433074878301	Then, for the first time, I found myself wonder- ing what could be these precious documents Rayne had told me the suit- case contained?
nyp.33433074878301	Then, turning to Lola, he asked:"Would you like to go for a trip to Italy with Madame and Hargreave?"
nyp.33433074878301	Then, turning to me, he said:"Hargreave, old chap, will you leave for a moment or two?
nyp.33433074878301	This surprised me until I returned to my hotel to luncheon, when Duperre, meeting me eagerly in the hall, asked:"Well, is the girl going?"
nyp.33433074878301	To- night?"
nyp.33433074878301	Understand?"
nyp.33433074878301	Was she carrying a message to her mother from the famous financier?
nyp.33433074878301	What could be its significance?
nyp.33433074878301	What could be the reason?
nyp.33433074878301	What could it be?
nyp.33433074878301	What did she fear?
nyp.33433074878301	What do you know of him?"
nyp.33433074878301	What do you say?"
nyp.33433074878301	What fresh crooked business could there be in progress?
nyp.33433074878301	What game was being carried on?
nyp.33433074878301	What is it?
nyp.33433074878301	What mischief was intended?
nyp.33433074878301	What number is Mr. Rayne's compartment?"
nyp.33433074878301	What shall we do to- night?"
nyp.33433074878301	What was intended?
nyp.33433074878301	What's the matter?
nyp.33433074878301	What, I wondered, was in progress?
nyp.33433074878301	When?"
nyp.33433074878301	Where is he?"
nyp.33433074878301	Who could know?
nyp.33433074878301	Why all this secrecy about the suit- case?
nyp.33433074878301	Why had she warned me?
nyp.33433074878301	Why not go to Sicily?"
nyp.33433074878301	Why?
nyp.33433074878301	Will you do so?"
nyp.33433074878301	Will you see the gentleman?"
nyp.33433074878301	Will you telephone to him?"
nyp.33433074878301	Yet if she feared me, why should she have asked me, as well as Lola and Madame, to call at the Palazzo Romanelli?
nyp.33433074878301	Yet was I not in the hands of the police?
nyp.33433074878301	Yet what could a Chinaman be doing about that house?
nyp.33433074878301	Yet would not that be a coward's action?
nyp.33433074878301	You surely can not ignore it?"
nyp.33433074878301	You under- stand?"
nyp.33433074878301	You understand — eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	You wanted to sell them, eh?
nyp.33433074878301	You, 130 THE GOLDEN FACE as Rayne's secretary, can not afford to stay at the Ritz, you understand?"
nyp.33433074878301	Your father never thought that Tai- K'an followed you on your country journey, eh?"
nyp.33433074878301	m"But are you quite certain?"
njp.32101066455278	'And he still associates with you?' njp.32101066455278 'You were here lying in wait for Miss Dale?'
njp.32101066455278	A man for me?
njp.32101066455278	Ah, then good day to you, Mr Beck,she said cheerily,"and whom have we here?
njp.32101066455278	Am I Irish? njp.32101066455278 Am I so near the surface?"
njp.32101066455278	And if you do n't put oil in?
njp.32101066455278	And out of the yard?
njp.32101066455278	And promise to marry me when he was dead?
njp.32101066455278	And what is it?
njp.32101066455278	And when you are tired of your sport?
njp.32101066455278	And why not yours?
njp.32101066455278	And why not, if I may inquire?
njp.32101066455278	And you?
njp.32101066455278	Any bid after that? njp.32101066455278 Anything more?"
njp.32101066455278	But how came that voice?
njp.32101066455278	But how in creation,stammered the American,"did he get there?"
njp.32101066455278	But how in wonder's name did it come there?
njp.32101066455278	But how —?
njp.32101066455278	But how?
njp.32101066455278	But if Mr Corcoran should wake?
njp.32101066455278	But my father?
njp.32101066455278	But where do I come in?
njp.32101066455278	But why pity?
njp.32101066455278	But why wait? njp.32101066455278 But why?"
njp.32101066455278	But you will help me to find the treasure?
njp.32101066455278	But, my dear Mr Beck, is n't she a'leetle'remarkable for a quiet place like mine?
njp.32101066455278	Can not we get to our task at once,he said,"and be done with it?
njp.32101066455278	Can you keep a secret?
njp.32101066455278	Can you shoot?
njp.32101066455278	Could I have a word or two with you, sir, on private and important business?
njp.32101066455278	Could he not have gone out by the same door that you went by?
njp.32101066455278	Could n't you put me somewhere that looks out 127 128 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK on to the river? njp.32101066455278 Curse you,"growled Mr Marable in a sudden burst of anger,"what is it now?"
njp.32101066455278	Did Dr Kerwan seem at all nervous or excited?
njp.32101066455278	Did n't I tell you, Barbara, I lost the key of my room two days ago? njp.32101066455278 Did the squire intend yesterday to go to London to- day?"
njp.32101066455278	Did you arrest the man, then?
njp.32101066455278	Did you make sure?
njp.32101066455278	Did you not urge me to it?
njp.32101066455278	Do I look like jesting? njp.32101066455278 Do n't look much like a detective, do I?
njp.32101066455278	Do n't you know? njp.32101066455278 Do you know the girl, Mr Millbank?"
njp.32101066455278	Do you remember was it correct when you looked at it?
njp.32101066455278	Do you stay on here?
njp.32101066455278	Do you understand English?
njp.32101066455278	Do you?
njp.32101066455278	Except?
njp.32101066455278	For the murder?
njp.32101066455278	For what did you say?
njp.32101066455278	Found any clues in the rabbit holes?
njp.32101066455278	Found what you wanted?
njp.32101066455278	Going over for the first time?
njp.32101066455278	Got a scales, sergeant? njp.32101066455278 Had you it in your hands?"
njp.32101066455278	Had your master more paper- weights than those two?
njp.32101066455278	Has anyone,she cried,"dared to hint that Barbara took them?"
njp.32101066455278	Have a game of shuffle- board?
njp.32101066455278	Have you come to the rabbits for counsel? njp.32101066455278 Have you found a clue, Mr Beck?"
njp.32101066455278	Have you it here?
njp.32101066455278	Have you seen her necklace? njp.32101066455278 He was suffocated,"Mr Beck answered,"but was he drowned?
njp.32101066455278	He went away before you?
njp.32101066455278	Her sweetheart?
njp.32101066455278	Hers is a remarkable face, not likely to be forgotten?
njp.32101066455278	His name? njp.32101066455278 How came that voice from the dead to force him to confess?
njp.32101066455278	How can I tell? njp.32101066455278 How can we connect Mr Corcoran, who has only just arrived, with the jewellery found in the bedroom floor?
njp.32101066455278	How did you come here, sir, at this hour of the night?
njp.32101066455278	How did you come?
njp.32101066455278	How did you know it — when did you know it?
njp.32101066455278	How do you know it was found?
njp.32101066455278	How do you mean to catch him?
njp.32101066455278	How far to the nearest railway station?
njp.32101066455278	How long do you propose to wait?
njp.32101066455278	How long is it since you changed your mind?
njp.32101066455278	How long were you out of the room, madam?
njp.32101066455278	How long would it take?
njp.32101066455278	How many dollars in that, I wonder?
njp.32101066455278	How the blazes did he find out the secret of the safe?
njp.32101066455278	How then do you account for the annoyance, Mr Millbank?
njp.32101066455278	How was that?
njp.32101066455278	How were they bruised and torn?
njp.32101066455278	I have the pleasure of meeting —?
njp.32101066455278	I see; that was about the time, was it not, that the young electrical engineer, Mr Ryan, arrived?
njp.32101066455278	I've no objection to that; I only want to know are you all agreed?
njp.32101066455278	If I drop out'if,'will you drop out'almost'?
njp.32101066455278	Is he your guide?
njp.32101066455278	Is that all?
njp.32101066455278	Is that true?
njp.32101066455278	Is the owner to know I'm going?
njp.32101066455278	Is there any news?
njp.32101066455278	Is there room for one more inside?
njp.32101066455278	Left or right?
njp.32101066455278	Loaded?
njp.32101066455278	Luck helped me as usual,he said,"but you'll keep the story to yourself — won't you?
njp.32101066455278	May I ask again,he growled,"what is the mean- ing of this outrage?
njp.32101066455278	May I come too, captain?
njp.32101066455278	May I come?
njp.32101066455278	May I have the felicity?
njp.32101066455278	Might I disturb you for a moment?
njp.32101066455278	Mr Beck? njp.32101066455278 Mr Wolfington is a particular friend of yours?"
njp.32101066455278	My dear young lady, did I ever pretend to be clever, did I now? njp.32101066455278 My jewels,"she whispered,"they have been stolen?"
njp.32101066455278	Neat, was n't it?
njp.32101066455278	Now I want to know what you think of Mr Mark Strangley?
njp.32101066455278	Now tell me who is in this game with you?
njp.32101066455278	Now what about these two men?
njp.32101066455278	Now what does it all mean?
njp.32101066455278	Now,said Mr Beck,"what is it all about?"
njp.32101066455278	Oh, do I? njp.32101066455278 Oh, do n't trouble,"said Mr Beck,"if I might be allowed?"
njp.32101066455278	Quite so, quite so,assented the Attorney- General,"and you think the evidence vital?"
njp.32101066455278	Say, will you take charge of daughter and diamonds as a permanent job, and name your own salary?
njp.32101066455278	See that chunk of cork ahead?
njp.32101066455278	Shall we arrest him at once?
njp.32101066455278	Shall we call on the young lady now,he said briskly,"and find what she has to say for herself?"
njp.32101066455278	She?
njp.32101066455278	Squire Melville,he said,"was a violent- tempered man to your own knowledge?"
njp.32101066455278	Sure?
njp.32101066455278	The Duchess is very complimentary,said Mr Millbank, smiling;"why did you leave her?"
njp.32101066455278	The Duchess will recommend you, I suppose?
njp.32101066455278	The owner was boasting of its accuracy? njp.32101066455278 Then have you given up in despair?"
njp.32101066455278	Then he must have gone out through the glass door?
njp.32101066455278	Then why did n't you say so?
njp.32101066455278	Then why did you find out that niblick?
njp.32101066455278	Thought I heard shouting,Strangley said;"did you hear anything?"
njp.32101066455278	Tired out, Count?
njp.32101066455278	To go to Hong- Kong?
njp.32101066455278	Twopence for your thoughts, Beck,he said laughingly;"what were you pondering over last night?"
njp.32101066455278	Want money to pay for the drink? njp.32101066455278 Was Mr Rutherford a heavy man?"
njp.32101066455278	Was it far from here the thing happened?
njp.32101066455278	Well,said Mr Moulang, when he met Mr Beck an hour later,"what do you propose to do next?"
njp.32101066455278	Well,said the Colonel, briskly,"assuming all this rigmarole is true — what have we got to say to it?"
njp.32101066455278	Well?
njp.32101066455278	Well?
njp.32101066455278	Well?
njp.32101066455278	Well?
njp.32101066455278	Well?
njp.32101066455278	What about the stakes I hold?
njp.32101066455278	What are those little holes for?
njp.32101066455278	What are you doing about the jewels?
njp.32101066455278	What are you doing here?
njp.32101066455278	What are you going to do with the port- manteau?
njp.32101066455278	What are you waiting for?
njp.32101066455278	What do you think of my big diamond?
njp.32101066455278	What for?
njp.32101066455278	What made him go?
njp.32101066455278	What news?
njp.32101066455278	What next?
njp.32101066455278	What next?
njp.32101066455278	What the mischief are you driving at now?
njp.32101066455278	What was the gentleman you met at the door like?
njp.32101066455278	What would you say if I handed the pocket- book and all its contents over to you to- morrow?
njp.32101066455278	What's her little game, I wonder? njp.32101066455278 When does the next train start?"
njp.32101066455278	Where shall I begin?
njp.32101066455278	Who got them?
njp.32101066455278	Who is your guest?
njp.32101066455278	Who kept the letter?
njp.32101066455278	Who's there?
njp.32101066455278	Why do n't you?
njp.32101066455278	Why do you worry him?
njp.32101066455278	Why not apply through the registry office?
njp.32101066455278	Why on earth was he drinking asafoetida?
njp.32101066455278	Why should I weary you with a long story, Don 94 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK Becko? njp.32101066455278 Why the deuce did n't you go to your bed?"
njp.32101066455278	Why will you speak in this cruel way?
njp.32101066455278	Why, am I wanted for murder?
njp.32101066455278	Why,they whispered amongst themselves,"had this man funked the voyage at the last moment, after his luggage had come aboard?"
njp.32101066455278	Will you arrest him?
njp.32101066455278	Will you be good enough to fetch it?
njp.32101066455278	Will you come for a short trip with me in the motor- boat?
njp.32101066455278	Will you kindly permit me to explain?
njp.32101066455278	Will you pardon me a question or two, Miss Melville?
njp.32101066455278	Wo n't you have lunch first?
njp.32101066455278	Wo n't you let me tell the truth, Colonel, once in a while? njp.32101066455278 Wo n't you two want something to live on?"
njp.32101066455278	Would you like to see the study now?
njp.32101066455278	You are satisfied,he said to Mr Nichols,"that we have found the jewels anyway?"
njp.32101066455278	You are sure it is he?
njp.32101066455278	You believe Mr Ryan is innocent?
njp.32101066455278	You do n't think yourself he did it?
njp.32101066455278	You have no knowledge of her?
njp.32101066455278	You knew him before?
njp.32101066455278	You know I have been engaged to find out who murdered your master?
njp.32101066455278	You know the law, do you? njp.32101066455278 You know the little map hanging in the broad passage between the library and the smoking- room on the upper deck?"
njp.32101066455278	You left before he did?
njp.32101066455278	You remember the five blood marks on the shirt- front of the murdered man?
njp.32101066455278	You said you locked the door — didn't you?
njp.32101066455278	You what?
njp.32101066455278	You will release my father; you will restore our treasure; you will punish this most wicked man?
njp.32101066455278	You wo n't mind telling us, sir, where you went next?
njp.32101066455278	You would like to catch the man that did it?
njp.32101066455278	You would like to see the study now?
njp.32101066455278	You're Irish, then?
njp.32101066455278	'"And you?'
njp.32101066455278	134 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK"Can you oblige me with a match?"
njp.32101066455278	258 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK"Oh, I beg your pardon; then you have formed some theory of the manner of this most mysterious murder?"
njp.32101066455278	40 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK"How do you know that?"
njp.32101066455278	56 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK"Why not yours?"
njp.32101066455278	64 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK"You have forgotten the diamonds,"he said tentatively;"is it not so?
njp.32101066455278	68 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK"Why?"
njp.32101066455278	And you?"
njp.32101066455278	Any bidding after three thousand?"
njp.32101066455278	Are n't snakes always slimy?
njp.32101066455278	Are n't you afraid of losing it or having it stolen?"
njp.32101066455278	Are you afraid I'll cheat the Spanish Prisoner and his daughter?"
njp.32101066455278	Are you there?
njp.32101066455278	Bear with me for just one 286 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK and to clear a favoured rival for ever out of his way?"
njp.32101066455278	But could it be cut to pieces?
njp.32101066455278	But honestly, Miss Barry, I hope you do n't believe I had anything to do with this business?"
njp.32101066455278	But how can I help?"
njp.32101066455278	But then, where did the brute get all that Spanish money, and what did he mean by his talk about Don what's- his- name?"
njp.32101066455278	But we need n't go into that, need we?
njp.32101066455278	But what does it come to?
njp.32101066455278	But why did he want to be called at six this morning?
njp.32101066455278	But why did n't the thief take more?
njp.32101066455278	But your father — is he the Spanish Prisoner?"
njp.32101066455278	By the way, could you lend me an alarm clock?
njp.32101066455278	Can not you be satisfied?
njp.32101066455278	Can you come at once?"
njp.32101066455278	Can you give me a place here as a waiter for a day or so?"
njp.32101066455278	Can you save him?"
njp.32101066455278	Can you?"
njp.32101066455278	Could you get me a bullet of this pistol, Mr Greaves?
njp.32101066455278	DROWNED DIAMONDS 71"What the blazes do you want?"
njp.32101066455278	Did Mr Mill- bank go to Spain when your father wrote to him?"
njp.32101066455278	Did he imagine it was a real voice he heard?"
njp.32101066455278	Did he seem at all excited?"
njp.32101066455278	Did he want to make out that Kerwan was right in stabbing the squire because he had a bad temper?"
njp.32101066455278	Did love or spite make her send that letter?
njp.32101066455278	Did she want him to know?
njp.32101066455278	Did you search for them?"
njp.32101066455278	Do n't you see it does?"
njp.32101066455278	Do you accuse any gentleman here of foul play?"
njp.32101066455278	Do you know anything of golf?
njp.32101066455278	Do you really think I killed the man?"
njp.32101066455278	Do you take my offer?"
njp.32101066455278	Do you?"
njp.32101066455278	Does it occur to you that I might clap on a pair of handcuffs and hand you over to your own police for theft and perjury?
njp.32101066455278	Does she want the young man cleared or hanged?
njp.32101066455278	Dr Kerwan, what's the mean- ing of this?"
njp.32101066455278	Had the jewels been thrown through the window to an accomplice?
njp.32101066455278	Have n't I a right to cry as well as you, I'd like to know?
njp.32101066455278	Have you a sweet tooth too, like the rest of us?'
njp.32101066455278	Have you any curiosity to know what I mean to say or do?
njp.32101066455278	Have you by any chance such a thing as a reel of fine black thread, silk preferred?"
njp.32101066455278	Have you ever heard of a Mr Beck? — Paul Beck at your service."
njp.32101066455278	Have you located the break?"
njp.32101066455278	He will not steal — is it not so?"
njp.32101066455278	How can I?"
njp.32101066455278	How long were you out of the room when he disappeared?"
njp.32101066455278	I could n't help his leaving everything to me — could I?
njp.32101066455278	I do n't want the fuss and delay of a prosecution; see?
njp.32101066455278	I feel quite certain they will come back again; do n't you?"
njp.32101066455278	I have n't the number — can you find him, do you think?"
njp.32101066455278	I may call you Aurora?"
njp.32101066455278	I suppose you heard that father left all he died possessed of to his widow?
njp.32101066455278	I told you of those, did n't I?"
njp.32101066455278	I will return again next year if I may?"
njp.32101066455278	I wonder is it too late to find any sign?
njp.32101066455278	I wonder who had it here, and for what purpose?"
njp.32101066455278	I've heard of you, of course — who has not heard of Mr Beck?
njp.32101066455278	Is he dead?"
njp.32101066455278	Is it business or pleasure?"
njp.32101066455278	Is that true?"
njp.32101066455278	Is the prisoner professionally represented?"
njp.32101066455278	Is this a thing to jest about?
njp.32101066455278	Is your own watch a good timekeeper?"
njp.32101066455278	It is easy to say:'Well, what's the news?'
njp.32101066455278	May I be permitted?
njp.32101066455278	May I look?"
njp.32101066455278	Meanwhile, 86 THE QUESTS OF PAUL BECK will you let us have lunch in a private room?
njp.32101066455278	Neat, was n't it?"
njp.32101066455278	Now does n't he?"
njp.32101066455278	Now you will say, what am I to do in this?
njp.32101066455278	Oh, Don Becko, you will understand?"
njp.32101066455278	Perhaps you have heard of the Thornvale murder in England?
njp.32101066455278	Play poker, sir?"
njp.32101066455278	See the way he packed him out of the dining- room?"
njp.32101066455278	See?"
njp.32101066455278	Shortly after you heard the death- cry of your murdered brother?"
njp.32101066455278	So he's drowned of course, is n't he?"
njp.32101066455278	Sole for you, Kitty?"
njp.32101066455278	THE SHIP'S RUN 163"Where have you been, Kitty?
njp.32101066455278	THE UNSEEN HAND 259"Have you formed any idea, Mr Beck, who the murderer is?"
njp.32101066455278	Takes it easy, does n't it?
njp.32101066455278	That looked bad, did n't it?"
njp.32101066455278	The auction is the real fun — eh, what?"
njp.32101066455278	The incredulous question will be asked: Was he always successful?
njp.32101066455278	The real question is, will I?
njp.32101066455278	Then after a second she added impulsively:"Mr Beck, you and I are good friends, are n't we?"
njp.32101066455278	There are two roads from Konda to Cadiz as you must know, Don Becko?"
njp.32101066455278	There was no gunpowder on board, so —""You suspect dynamite?"
njp.32101066455278	Want that for to- night?
njp.32101066455278	Was n't a bad guess, was it?"
njp.32101066455278	Was she afraid he'd stop her if he got the chance?
njp.32101066455278	Was there anybody with you in your rooms before you started last evening?"
njp.32101066455278	We can go to your private office, I suppose?"
njp.32101066455278	What am I to do with him when found?"
njp.32101066455278	What can he have to say now that he could not have said before we parted?"
njp.32101066455278	What did it matter whether they found the corpse or the diamonds?
njp.32101066455278	What did you say were taken, Barbara?"
njp.32101066455278	What do I know?
njp.32101066455278	What do you mean to do?"
njp.32101066455278	What do you mean to say to them?
njp.32101066455278	What do you say to that?"
njp.32101066455278	What do you say, Mr Beck — do you begin to see light?"
njp.32101066455278	What do you say?"
njp.32101066455278	What do you think of the Count Victor D'Armaund?
njp.32101066455278	What does it do?"
njp.32101066455278	What is it for?"
njp.32101066455278	What is it — for or against?
njp.32101066455278	What kind of man is this secretary?
njp.32101066455278	What shall I do?"
njp.32101066455278	What was your father before he became a Spanish prisoner?"
njp.32101066455278	What will the world say?
njp.32101066455278	What's this?"
njp.32101066455278	Where are you staying?"
njp.32101066455278	Where did he go to, anyway?
njp.32101066455278	Who is she, anyway, and where does the parson come in?
njp.32101066455278	Why did n't Aladdin fill his pockets full when he got into the cave?"
njp.32101066455278	Why have you forced yourself on board my boat?
njp.32101066455278	Why let us make a parcel of fools of ourselves hunting in the water?
njp.32101066455278	Why must you worry me as well?"
njp.32101066455278	Why not nab him at once?"
njp.32101066455278	Why should we hide it when we had had no notice of their coming?
njp.32101066455278	Why so good and so rare a lock on a mere leather bag, which could be easily cut to pieces?
njp.32101066455278	Will you be satisfied if Mr Nichols comes with me?"
njp.32101066455278	Will you come quietly with me?"
njp.32101066455278	Will you have the same grim story as the other big diamonds to tell of trickery, cheat- ing, robbery and murder?
njp.32101066455278	Will you promise you will have nothing more to say to Pedro on the subject?"
njp.32101066455278	Will you take an assistant?"
njp.32101066455278	Would you insinuate, Barbara, that I stole them myself?
njp.32101066455278	Would you not have noticed if it were wrong then?"
njp.32101066455278	Yes; are you there?"
njp.32101066455278	You are for Don Carlos, are you not, Don Becko?"
njp.32101066455278	You are quite sure?"
njp.32101066455278	You do n't know Mr Lankin, of course, Colonel; nor you, Judge?
njp.32101066455278	You follow me?"
njp.32101066455278	You know Jim Morgan?"
njp.32101066455278	You know Joshua Marable?"
njp.32101066455278	You know the Duchess of Southern?"
njp.32101066455278	You know, I suppose, you have got to do what I tell you?"
njp.32101066455278	You mean, I presume, to produce them on behalf of the prisoner at his trial?"
njp.32101066455278	You will come, Mr Marable, and you, Mr Beck?"
njp.32101066455278	You will find him for us, Mr Beck?"
njp.32101066455278	You will say, what is that?
njp.32101066455278	You're sure?"
njp.32101066455278	are you there?
njp.32101066455278	can it be thus for my friend that I have known?
njp.32101066455278	do n't you see I'm busy, and I do n't want to be disturbed?'
njp.32101066455278	he cried with a laugh like a snarl,'is that the way of it?
njp.32101066455278	he said when they were half up the promenade deck,"what's your question?
njp.32101066455278	queried Mr Rhondel,"are the bets off?
njp.32101066455278	sir, and will you give us the right one?"
njp.32101066455278	•"Wo n't you sit down, Mr Beck?"
nyp.33433074901962	And that is? —His eyes were earnest, questioning.
nyp.33433074901962	And who's going to prevent it?
nyp.33433074901962	Are n't you taking a great deal for granted?
nyp.33433074901962	Are you listening, Lee?
nyp.33433074901962	Because of Terry? —Mrs. Dorice's voice was shrill.
nyp.33433074901962	Bit of a staggerer, is n't it?
nyp.33433074901962	But have n't you any one belonging to you?
nyp.33433074901962	But it's scarcely a profitable discussion, is it? nyp.33433074901962 But"— the question was wrung from Lee in sheer amazement —"you ca n't mean that you came here with us — in our car?"
nyp.33433074901962	But—Lee's voice was astonished —"why ever should you?"
nyp.33433074901962	Frost tells me there was a scare — burglars, or something of the sort; that you were alarmed?
nyp.33433074901962	Hallo, I sayl Where are you? nyp.33433074901962 Have n't you ever had any one?"
nyp.33433074901962	How do you know? —He choked.
nyp.33433074901962	I hope you feel satisfied on that point, my dear?
nyp.33433074901962	I mean— she flung at him sharply —"why are you here?"
nyp.33433074901962	I suppose,she suggested tentatively,"you could n't take Terry?
nyp.33433074901962	I suppose,she suggested tentatively,"you could n't think it over?
nyp.33433074901962	In a house like this I knew there'd be.N 130 THE FUGITIVE MILLIONAIREWell?"
nyp.33433074901962	Is anything in life,he asked,"stronger than — love?"
nyp.33433074901962	Is it true,he asked, without preamble,"that you are going to marry — Roland Gish?"
nyp.33433074901962	Is n't it enough? nyp.33433074901962 Is that all, child?"

nyp.33433074901962	What do you think of him?
nyp.33433074901962	What does this mean?
nyp.33433074901962	What sort of boy is he?
nyp.33433074901962	What sort of hours do you think I keep? nyp.33433074901962 What the devil's the matter with you?"
nyp.33433074901962	Where is she?
nyp.33433074901962	Where on earth can she be?
nyp.33433074901962	Where're you going?
nyp.33433074901962	Why did you?
nyp.33433074901962	Why did you?
nyp.33433074901962	Why not? nyp.33433074901962 Why should you think otherwise?"
nyp.33433074901962	Why?
nyp.33433074901962	Why?
nyp.33433074901962	You sent for me?
nyp.33433074901962	You — mean? nyp.33433074901962 You — you'11 do something?"

nyp.33433074901962	You'11 stop this damnable thing going any further? nyp.33433074901962 You're quite happy?"

nyp.33433074901962	Human nature's odd, is n't it?

nyp.33433074901962	Is n't it rather misty to- day?"

nyp.33433074901962	May I see you this evening after dinner, at nine?

nyp.33433074901962	Or if that is inconvenient, to- morrow at noon?
nyp.33433074901962	Promise you will come here again, soon?"
nyp.33433074901962	Rather decent of her, was n't it?
nyp.33433074901962	She added, quickly:"You do n't mean — you're not hiding, are you?"
nyp.33433074901962	She asked now:"Why?"

nyp.33433074901962	What on earth's the matter?"
nyp.33433074901962	What the devil else should he be?"
nyp.33433074901962	What then?"
nyp.33433074901962	Where are you off to, and what are you looking so glum about?"
nyp.33433074901962	Who are you — what are you — what's been your game all this time?
nyp.33433074901962	Why not?
nyp.33433074901962	Why?"
nyp.33433074901962	Will you give them to me before you go?"

njp.32101063580284	A miserable ending to a miserable life; but I am not astonished. ” “ How is that? ” said Gebb, with a sharp look at her. njp.32101063580284 Ah, you know that? ” said Basson, much sur- prised.
njp.32101063580284	And if Ferris wo n't conſess to me, I'll write and ask Miss Wedderburn to come to town. ” “ What good can she do?.
njp.32101063580284	And who killed Miss Ligram? ” asked Gebb, looking keenly at Mrs. Presk. njp.32101063580284 Are you in love with her too? ” he asked the detective.
njp.32101063580284	Arthur who? ” asked Lackland, gruffly. njp.32101063580284 But how could Dean, who was almost bankrupt, afford to give Laura a diamond necklace?"
njp.32101063580284	By Clement Basson, the barrister, who defended Dean twenty years ago? ” “ The same! njp.32101063580284 By George you will, will you! ” grumbled Lacke · land, annoyed that his advice was not taken;"and what if you do n't get charge of the case?".
njp.32101063580284	Can you tell me why she did so?
njp.32101063580284	Cigarette ash? ” he pronounced it after an examination, “ the quality is fine and quantity small. njp.32101063580284 Did Laura Kirkstone kill her brother?"
njp.32101063580284	Did she say so? ” asked Ferris, anxiously. njp.32101063580284 Did that return third- class ticket dropped in the room at Paradise Row belong to Dean?"
njp.32101063580284	Did you know that Miss Gilmar was there?
njp.32101063580284	Did you know the course of her wanderings?
njp.32101063580284	Did you like her, Miss Wedderburn?.
njp.32101063580284	Did you see her on that night?
njp.32101063580284	Do you mean to say that Mad Martin, the gardener, is really Mr. Dean? ” said Edith, making a final attempt to baffle Gebb. njp.32101063580284 For how long has Miss Ligram been lodging with you?
njp.32101063580284	Had Miss Gilmar any enemies?
njp.32101063580284	Had you a return ticket?
njp.32101063580284	Have you the will?
njp.32101063580284	How do you know that I have a lover?
njp.32101063580284	I dunno; I swear I dunno. ” “ Was Miss Gilmar the criminal?
njp.32101063580284	I had the key in my pocket when I went to the lecture. ” “ Was the door locked when you returned?
njp.32101063580284	I know that he is your son. ” “ Is this so?
njp.32101063580284	I tell you Miss Gilmar gave me that necklace on the night she was murdered. ” “ At what hour?
njp.32101063580284	I wonder what Lackland wants to see me about- eh, Prain?
njp.32101063580284	I wonder what it is? njp.32101063580284 I'm hiding nothing! ” burst out Mrs. Presk, “ have n't you got eyes? ” She pointed towards the dead woman.
njp.32101063580284	If you did not kill the woman yourself,said he,"who did?"
njp.32101063580284	In what way? njp.32101063580284 Is this a lunatic asylum, Miss Wedderburn? ” he asked when she was more composed, and he judged it judicious to recommence the conversation.
njp.32101063580284	Lor', you're perlice, are you? ” she whimpered. njp.32101063580284 No, I have n't, Simon; have you?"
njp.32101063580284	Oh, have you?
njp.32101063580284	Oh, have you?
njp.32101063580284	On what grounds?
njp.32101063580284	Perhaps she was afraid of your asking the driver questions as to where she came from?
njp.32101063580284	Seen'oo dead?
njp.32101063580284	She admitted him?.
njp.32101063580284	There is no need to swear,said Gebb, wondering at her vehemence; “ but why did you faint when I asked you about him?"
njp.32101063580284	Was Dean ever in London while he stayed here under the name of Martin?
njp.32101063580284	Was this dead woman a lodger of yours?
njp.32101063580284	Well, and what took place after the ladies retired?.
njp.32101063580284	Well, sir,said he, grimly, “ and what do you intend to do now?"
njp.32101063580284	What about Basson- can he prove anything?.
njp.32101063580284	What else was I to do? njp.32101063580284 What is found?
njp.32101063580284	What is the same? ” asked Miss Wedderburn, who was standing near the window. njp.32101063580284 Which of them, Alder dr Ferris? ” said Gebb, stolidly.
njp.32101063580284	Yes, I pawned it, but I swear I did not take it. ” “ Then how did it come in your possession? ”. njp.32101063580284 You may understand me better when I tell you that your father is in prison again. ” 226 THE LADY FROM NOWHERE mea “ My father?

njp.32101063580284	About whom?"
njp.32101063580284	Alder's ill, is he? ” said Jane, in no very regretful tone, “ and may die.
njp.32101063580284	Alder?"
njp.32101063580284	Alder?"
njp.32101063580284	An accident?"
njp.32101063580284	And afterwards?"
njp.32101063580284	And did he not try to induce Laura to revoke her will in favour COMMENTS ON THE CRIME 73 of the housekeeper?
njp.32101063580284	And look you here, Simon, ” cried Gebb, warming up, “ it's all very well your pitching into me over this case; but is it an easy one?
njp.32101063580284	And now I wish to ask you a few questions about Miss Gilmar, if you do n't mind replying to them?".
njp.32101063580284	And were they guilty?
njp.32101063580284	And who would have thought them guilty?
njp.32101063580284	And why did he pawn them so hurriedly unless he intended to leave Eng- land?

njp.32101063580284	Are you sure it is n't yours?"
njp.32101063580284	But he soon proved to me that he was Marmaduke Dean, and told us how he had escaped. ” “ Did he come to the Hall to kill Miss Gilmar?"
njp.32101063580284	But if this is so, why did not Ferris clear himself before the magistrate?
njp.32101063580284	But may I ask how you found it out?"
njp.32101063580284	But tell me frankly, Mr. Basson, do you know where Dean is to be found?".
njp.32101063580284	But what has the lecture to do with Ferris and his innocence?"
njp.32101063580284	But what is your opinion about this crime?".
njp.32101063580284	But would a woman, however cruel, have so brutally strangled her unsus- pecting hostess, and- as it may be assumed- friend?
njp.32101063580284	By the way, is the body buried?"
njp.32101063580284	By the way, who is that man?"
njp.32101063580284	By the way, why did not the servant give up this letter before?"
njp.32101063580284	Can you find Dean?
njp.32101063580284	Can you show me over it?"
njp.32101063580284	Dean? ” “ Yes, Dean or Martin — whichever you like to call him."
njp.32101063580284	Dean?"
njp.32101063580284	Did Mrs. Presk know of Tilda's discovery?".
njp.32101063580284	Did he?"
njp.32101063580284	Did n't I say in my letter that I had solved the mystery, you fool?"
njp.32101063580284	Did she refuse to give it up?"
njp.32101063580284	Did you kill her? ” he asked in a harsh whisper.
njp.32101063580284	Did you know of it, Mr. Alder?"
njp.32101063580284	Do you believe that Dean is guilty?"
njp.32101063580284	Do you believe that I killed Kirkstone? ”"No,"said Arthur, with conviction, “ I do not."
njp.32101063580284	Do you know him?"
njp.32101063580284	Do you know where he is to be found?"

njp.32101063580284	Have you any interest in the matter? ” he asked, looking at Edith inquisitively.
njp.32101063580284	Have you been round the pawnshops?".
njp.32101063580284	Have you caught Dean?"
njp.32101063580284	Have you never heard of the murder which took place in this house? ”.
njp.32101063580284	He is Dean! ”"I thought there was a gardener here at the time of the murder called Martin?"
njp.32101063580284	He planned and carried it out in the most ruthless manner. ”"But why in Heaven's name did he desire the death of his wretched cousin?"

njp.32101063580284	I agree with you, going by the story told to me by Parge, that Miss Gilmar killed Kirkstone, but who killed Miss Gilmar?"
njp.32101063580284	I found out the truth from- who do you think?"
njp.32101063580284	I have been here for the last five years, and on the whole I have no reason to complain of my lot in life. ”"Was Miss Gilmar kind to you? ”.
njp.32101063580284	I hope you will earn it. ”"I hope so, too, ” answered Gebb, much pleased;"but you are certain that Dean is guilty?"
njp.32101063580284	I know nothing about the woman. ” “ Do you know anything about the diamond necklace?"
njp.32101063580284	I know you did not kill Miss Gilmar. ” “ How do you know that?"
njp.32101063580284	I love Arthur very much, it is true, but hardly enough to commit so wicked a deed for his sake. ”"Do you swear that you are innocent?"
njp.32101063580284	I slept in the public- house where I had been before, and left by the early train next morning. ”"Did you hear of the murder before you left?'
njp.32101063580284	I was forced to do so, to protect Arthur and myself. ” 177 172 THE LADY FROM NOWHERE “ So you knew of the murder when I paid my first visit?"
njp.32101063580284	I wonder why?
njp.32101063580284	I'm not a fool. ” “ But how did you find out?"
njp.32101063580284	If not them, who is guilty?"
njp.32101063580284	If so, why does he not defend himself in that way?"
njp.32101063580284	Indeed, ” added Edith, reflec- tively,"I am not sure but what I did not say that I knew where Dean was. ” “ But you did not?"
njp.32101063580284	Is it that you are driving at, Mr. Gebb? ”."
njp.32101063580284	Is this assassination of Miss Ligram his second crime?"
njp.32101063580284	It was in July Miss Ellen died, was n't it?"
njp.32101063580284	It was the dread of a violent death that made her consult these people. ” “ Did she ever drop any hint about the murder?"
njp.32101063580284	Know it?"
njp.32101063580284	Martin was always hunting for it to clear himself, but if he found it he did n't tell me. ” “ And Martin is Dean?"
njp.32101063580284	May I ask what caused you to faint, Miss Wedderburn?".
njp.32101063580284	Now I believe that this man-- By the way, ” said Gebb, breaking away from his original speech,"did Miss Ligram smoke?"
njp.32101063580284	On the first of May Miss Ligram came in a van and"“ Came in a van? ” interrupted Gebb, profoundly astonished.

njp.32101063580284	She was a clever one, was Miss Ellen. ” “ Do you know where the confession is?".

njp.32101063580284	That was on the twenty- fourth of July; so I came up to town, and went with him on that night. ”"To the lecture?".
njp.32101063580284	The advice seemed good to me, and I adopted it. ” “ But where did you get the money to visit London? ” asked Edith.
njp.32101063580284	The evidence against Dean seems clear enough to me. ” “ In what way?"
njp.32101063580284	The next I heard was her murder at Grange- bury under the name of Ligram. ”"Do you think Dean killed her? ” asked Gebb, anxiously.
njp.32101063580284	Then he asked suddenly, “ Do you believe that Dean is innocent of this Kirkstone Hall crime? ”.
njp.32101063580284	Then how the devil do you expect me to find him after all these years?
njp.32101063580284	Then tell me who inherits Miss Gilmar's property? ”"Do you mean her real or personal estate?"

njp.32101063580284	Was it not right to do so?".
njp.32101063580284	Well, and have you caught the blackguard who murdered the poor woman?"
njp.32101063580284	Well, and what do you intend to do now?"
njp.32101063580284	Were they playing cards?
njp.32101063580284	What about Ferris?"
njp.32101063580284	What about her protégé, Martin? ”.
njp.32101063580284	What do you think of that, hey?"
njp.32101063580284	What do you think, Mr. Ferris? ”.
njp.32101063580284	What does all this prove?
njp.32101063580284	What for?
njp.32101063580284	What has he to do with it?"
njp.32101063580284	What of that?"
njp.32101063580284	What possible motive could she have? ”"Quite as feasible a motive as the one ascribed to Laura,"replied Gebb.
njp.32101063580284	What two?"
njp.32101063580284	What was he like? ” “ Tall, dark, handsome,"said Lackland, with on THE DIAMOND NECKLACE 129 military brevity.
njp.32101063580284	What was the name on the van? ”"There was no name, Mr. Gebb.
njp.32101063580284	When I gather more evidence I shall speak more freely. ”"Where do you intend to look for evidence?"
njp.32101063580284	When?
njp.32101063580284	Where is she now?"

njp.32101063580284	Who pawned it? ”.
njp.32101063580284	Who was Dean's solicitor?"
njp.32101063580284	Who would have thought that Ferris and the girl would be THE UNEXPECTED OCCURS 195 mixed up in it?-yet they were.
njp.32101063580284	Who?"
njp.32101063580284	Why did Mr. Alder do that?"
njp.32101063580284	Why not compare yourself to a witness in the witness- box?"
njp.32101063580284	Why should I kill her? ” “ To obtain the necklace. ” “ What nonsense you talk, Mr. Gebb.
njp.32101063580284	Why should I say that?
njp.32101063580284	Why, what did she know about it?"
njp.32101063580284	Why?
njp.32101063580284	Will you call on me afterwards, Mr. Gebb, and tell me what you learn from Basson?

njp.32101063580284	Women seem to like scamps, for some reason best known to themselves. ” “ Is he handsome? ”.
njp.32101063580284	Yet I was anxious to get back to Norminster on that night, as I did not want Edith to know I had been in London. ” “ But why?"
njp.32101063580284	You are Miss Wedderburn, of the Hall?
njp.32101063580284	You wish to learn who killed Miss Gilmar, sir?
njp.32101063580284	a'wasn't that! ” whispered Mrs. Presk, turn- ing pale, “ but I was afeard! ” “ Of what?"
njp.32101063580284	cried Gebb, excitedly. “ Was it sold- pawned?"
njp.32101063580284	echoed Gebb, pricking up his ears at this hint of a clue;"what sort of people?"
njp.32101063580284	he is dissipated?"
njp.32101063580284	he knows who he is, then? ” said Gebb, sharply.

njp.32101063580284	said Mrs. Presk, with a stare;"now that's queer. ”"Why? ” asked the detective, sharply.
njp.32101063580284	she shuddered, “ look at that poor soul, sir, ai n't it enough to freeze your blood. ” “ Did it freeze yours, that you ran out of the room?"
njp.32101063580284	she told you about that scamp?"
njp.32101063580284	the heir?"
njp.32101063580284	the name of the murderer?"
njp.32101063580284	then you know something about the matter?"
njp.32101063580284	to the sister?".
njp.32101063580284	“ About what?
njp.32101063580284	“ About what?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Admitting that he is — which I do n't on the strength of the romantic vow- how did Ferris become possessed of the necklace?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Am I nobody? ”"You're a good fellow- too good to get your monkey up for nothing.
njp.32101063580284	“ Am I- have I- what is it?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And does'Tilda say the diamonds were gone?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And has Dean a horseshoe? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ And she turned up the death- card?".
njp.32101063580284	“ And the name of the assassin?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And was a violent death predicted?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And what did she do when she heard of his escape?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And what does Mr. Absalom Gebb, Detective, wish with me?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And where he is to be found?
njp.32101063580284	“ And why I intended to call on you?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And you believe that Miss Ligram and Miss Gilmar are one and the same person?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And you, Edith, ” said Dean, looking at the girl,"is it your opinion that I am guilty of Miss Gilmar's death?"
njp.32101063580284	“ And, in my turn, may I ask why you killed Miss Gilmar?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Are you certain of this? ” he asked in a hesitating voice.
njp.32101063580284	“ Basson- Clement Basson, the barrister? ” said A SURPRISING DISCOVERY 145 was wa Gebb, with a stare.
njp.32101063580284	“ But about Dean?".
njp.32101063580284	“ But how did Miss Gilmar quieten Laura? ” “ Easily enough!
njp.32101063580284	“ But surely you are sorry to hear of her murder? ”"I am not utterly without heart, Mr. Gebb, although you seem to think so.
njp.32101063580284	“ But who is the person you think he is shielding?".
njp.32101063580284	“ But why did you kill Miss Gilmar?
njp.32101063580284	“ But,"objected Parge, again,"why should she accuse Dean?
njp.32101063580284	“ By the way, when did Dean escape? ” “ Towards the end of'93; and you say yourself that Miss Gilmar began her wanderings in that year."
njp.32101063580284	“ Ca n't Basson help you, or Mr. Alder, or Mr. Ferris?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Call who Arthur? ” asked Gebb, laying a trap for her hasty tongue.
njp.32101063580284	“ Can you tell me who killed Kirkstone? ” asked the detective.
njp.32101063580284	“ Dean, the man I defended, Ferris's father?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Did Dean kill Kirkstone? ” “ Ah, that's telling! ” said Mrs. Grix, cunningly.
njp.32101063580284	“ Did Ferris go to the lecture?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Did Miss Ligram usually dress like this? ” asked Gebb, turning to Mrs. Presk.
njp.32101063580284	“ Did Miss Wedderburn know the truth? ”"Of course, sir!
njp.32101063580284	“ Did he come near you at any time after his escape?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Did he kill her?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Did he know of your intention?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Did not Kirkstone threaten to turn her out- of- doors?
njp.32101063580284	“ Did you attend the lecture on Dickens in the Town Hall?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Did you hear any sound in the house when you arrived home?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Did you know that Miss Gilmar was in Grangebury? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ Did you lock the back door when you came in? ” “ Lawks, no, sir!
njp.32101063580284	“ Did you meet any one in the street going there?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Did you write and tell Mr. Ferris about my visit to you?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Do you think Miss Wedderburn is aware of her cousin's death?
njp.32101063580284	“ Do you? ” said Edith, answering one question by asking another.
njp.32101063580284	“ Does Ferris know?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Does he say that Dean is guilty?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Does he?
njp.32101063580284	“ Eh, Simon?
njp.32101063580284	“ Ellen was very eccentric, and one could not always account for her whims. ” “ She was superstitious? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ From all I have heard, Dean is as innocent of that crime as you are. ” “ Then who is guilty?"
njp.32101063580284	“ From what station?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Great Heavens! ” he said;"if the man is innocent, and can prove it, as you say, why does n't he speak out?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Had she diamonds? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ Has he a mark on one cheek?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Has he any idea of the whereabouts of his father?"
njp.32101063580284	“ He's as close as wax. ” “ Who was Dean's counsel?"
njp.32101063580284	“ How are you getting on with the case of my poor cousin's murder?
njp.32101063580284	“ How can we ever thank you?"
njp.32101063580284	“ How do I know that you have two lovers? ” corrected Gebb, coolly.
njp.32101063580284	“ How do you know, sir?"
njp.32101063580284	“ How else could I have got the necklace? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ How is that?"
njp.32101063580284	“ How will she answer? ” demanded Gebb, quite mystified.
njp.32101063580284	“ I did not kill Ellen Gilmar. ” “ But you were with her on that night?"
njp.32101063580284	“ I did not take a return ticket. ”"But you came up on the twenty- fourth of July from Norminster, did you not?"
njp.32101063580284	“ I know that his Christian name is Arthur, but what is the surname of your lover, Miss Wedderburn? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ I suppose he did n't care on whom suspicion fell?."
njp.32101063580284	“ I?"
njp.32101063580284	“ In my turn, may I ask why you come here to question me? ” she said defiantly.
njp.32101063580284	“ In what way?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Is it yours, Mr. Ferris? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ Is she dead?
njp.32101063580284	“ It's not out of keeping with well- bred habits for 34 THE LADY FROM NOWHERE “ What do you mean?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Madame! ” he cried in a rage, “ will you or will you not answer me plainly?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Maria Presk. ” “ Married or single?"
njp.32101063580284	“ May I ask what you want?"
njp.32101063580284	“ May I inquire your business? ”"Is your name Arthur Ferris? ”."
njp.32101063580284	“ May I inquire your business? ”"Is your name Arthur Ferris? ”."
njp.32101063580284	“ Miss Gilmar kill Kirkstone?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Miss Ligram, you mean?
njp.32101063580284	“ My cousin Kirkstone?
njp.32101063580284	“ Nothing serious, I hope?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Nothing, Miss Wedderburn?
njp.32101063580284	“ On what charge? ” asked Gebb, with openly expressed surprise.
njp.32101063580284	“ On what grounds do you suspect her? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ On what grounds?"
njp.32101063580284	“ She came in answer to an advertisement, I suppose?"
njp.32101063580284	“ She is the caretaker of Kirkstone Hall, and is very poor. ” “ Is she very pretty?".
njp.32101063580284	“ She offered you too little?".
njp.32101063580284	“ She owns the Hall, then?".
njp.32101063580284	“ So you never found out where she came from?"
njp.32101063580284	“ That you, Gebb? ” cried Lackland, the moment the detective put his nose inside the door.
njp.32101063580284	“ The diamonds?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Then who did?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Then why ece THE END OF IT ALL 277 “ Then he is going to take his wife's name, I suppose?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Then why is Ferris shielding Dean?"
njp.32101063580284	“ There is a will, then?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Was Miss Gilmar unpopular in these parts?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Was any one with her when you called?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Was it closed when you went out?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Was that why you made all that howling?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Well, Absalom, ” said Parge, with a plethoric grunt, “ and how does the matter of that Grangebury case stand now?
njp.32101063580284	“ Well, Absalom,"said he, “ have you discovered who killed Miss Gilmar?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Well, Mr. Gebb, have you brought me a brief?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Well, and how does he say the necklace came into his hands? ” “ He declines to tell me."
njp.32101063580284	“ Well, sir, ” said Gebb, almost immediately, “ and how is your prisoner?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Were you here when the murder took place?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What about the body?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What are n't there? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ What can I do?
njp.32101063580284	“ What can I think?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What clue had you?".
njp.32101063580284	“ What did you notice?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What did you say?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you know about Marmaduke Dean?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you know of Miss Wedderburn?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you mean by the death- card?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you mean by your hints?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you mean? ” he demanded, struck MR. PRAIN, SOLICITOR 87 by the significance of the man's words and look.
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you mean? ” said Gebb, releasing her.
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you mean?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you say, Mr. Ferris?".
njp.32101063580284	“ What do you want? ” he croaked.
njp.32101063580284	“ What does Miss Wedderburn think?".
njp.32101063580284	“ What is the matter? ” asked Gebb, rather taken aback by this evidence of grief.
njp.32101063580284	“ What kind of a shock?
njp.32101063580284	“ What makes you think that he did?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What the devil does that mean?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What word?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What! ” cried Gebb, suspiciously, “ in spite of the disturbed atmosphere of the house, and the quarrelling?"
njp.32101063580284	“ What's all this about?
njp.32101063580284	“ When you went upstairs was the door closed to?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Where are you going?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Where is he to be found? ” “ No.
njp.32101063580284	“ Which two?
njp.32101063580284	“ Who is Miss Ligram?".
njp.32101063580284	“ Who is mad?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Who is she?
njp.32101063580284	“ Why are you doubtful of Miss Ligram's past?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Why did she faint?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Why do you ask me? ” he demanded abruptly.
njp.32101063580284	“ Why do you ask?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Why do you think so? ”"John Alder came here and loved her, ” said Martin, reflectively.
njp.32101063580284	“ Why does he act in this way?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Why not?
njp.32101063580284	“ Why not? ” said Parge, emphatically.
njp.32101063580284	“ Why should I deceive you about it?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Why should I mind?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Why should I?
njp.32101063580284	“ Why, what on earth has he got to do with it? ” “ He saw Ferris on the night of the murder! ” “ Saw him!
njp.32101063580284	“ Why,"said Mrs. Grix, nodding,"he was up in London in July, and he stayed there all night. ” “ On the twenty- fourth? ”.
njp.32101063580284	“ Why?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Will you see him now? ” asked the Governor, with a side glance at Edith.
njp.32101063580284	“ Wo n't he confess how he became possessed of the diamonds?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Wot d'ye mean, screeching out murder like a loonatic?
njp.32101063580284	“ Yes, I did, sir; both me and'Tilda, who is my servant, went. ” “ What is your name?"
njp.32101063580284	“ Yes, Miss Wedderburn, I do; and why should you or Mr. Ferris there pretend ignorance of what you know to be true?
njp.32101063580284	“ Yes, but you also believe that Ferris does not know Dean,"cried Gebb, crossly;"So why should he shield him?"
njp.32101063580284	“ You accuse me of murder?
njp.32101063580284	“ You do n't expect roast ducks to fly into your mouth, do you? ” said Parge, indignantly.
njp.32101063580284	“ You know Mr. Prain?".
njp.32101063580284	“ You know nothing of her past?".
njp.32101063580284	“ You would not have had me betray myself or Arthur?
njp.32101063580284	“ Your father, or Martin the gardener? ” Ferris made a despairing gesture.
mdp.39015063943610	Afraid, eh? mdp.39015063943610 After having followed you across the country?"
mdp.39015063943610	All ready, Burke?
mdp.39015063943610	And desert me with all my troubles?
mdp.39015063943610	And everything was peaceful and friendly, was it?
mdp.39015063943610	And if that fails?
mdp.39015063943610	And now, Mrs. Dufrane, will you answer my question?
mdp.39015063943610	And that was all?
mdp.39015063943610	And the riot in Chicago? mdp.39015063943610 And they got them all?"
mdp.39015063943610	And what about me?
mdp.39015063943610	And what did you find there?
mdp.39015063943610	And what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063943610	And what else did you remember?
mdp.39015063943610	And what happened to the trio?
mdp.39015063943610	And what has your sermon to do with the tele- gram which we were discussing?
mdp.39015063943610	And what of Mary Dale?
mdp.39015063943610	And what of Mrs. Paxton's daughter?
mdp.39015063943610	And what will you be doing with Farr?
mdp.39015063943610	And where was Martin while they were singing?
mdp.39015063943610	And who are you?
mdp.39015063943610	And why did you go there?
mdp.39015063943610	And why not? mdp.39015063943610 And why not?"
mdp.39015063943610	And why were you being questioned?
mdp.39015063943610	And you did n't see any stick or pole?
mdp.39015063943610	And you found out?
mdp.39015063943610	And you refused to do it?
mdp.39015063943610	Any little notes you'd like to give me, Miss Pax- ton?
mdp.39015063943610	Anything we can do?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you blaming me?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you coming?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you crazy?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you going to believe this nit- wit girl who has done nothing but make a fool of you?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you going to do that while you're singing?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you going to keep us here all night and do nothing?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you hurt?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you nervous?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you quite sure?
mdp.39015063943610	Are you trying to suggest, in your sly way, that we quit?
mdp.39015063943610	Ask them SUDDEN SILENCE 195why they tore Martin's place inside out this morning?
mdp.39015063943610	Banjo- eyed, eh?
mdp.39015063943610	Be reasonable, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063943610	Because you did n't want any trouble with Harri- son, was that it?
mdp.39015063943610	Been waiting long?
mdp.39015063943610	Before you jump at conclusions, why not hear what I have to say?
mdp.39015063943610	But Martin was jealous of Harrison's attentions to you?
mdp.39015063943610	But did n't you see any figures outlined between you and the light on the floor?
mdp.39015063943610	But did you see it?
mdp.39015063943610	But have you ever noticed their tonsils,he asked,"or their adenoids?
mdp.39015063943610	But how did you connect the crime with Fields?
mdp.39015063943610	But what about this suit for a million dollars?
mdp.39015063943610	But what has all this to do with the suit for a million dollars?
mdp.39015063943610	But why did n't she come home earlier?
mdp.39015063943610	But why?
mdp.39015063943610	But you did n't do anything about it, did you?
mdp.39015063943610	But you did n't like him?
mdp.39015063943610	But, Joan,he cried following her,"you're going to marry me, are n't you?"
mdp.39015063943610	But, Mary,Joan cried,"why did n't you tell us?"
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't I be arrested without having you tagging along?
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't I live a life of my own? mdp.39015063943610 Ca n't a girl have any privacy?"
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't they play, Inspector? mdp.39015063943610 Ca n't you see the real me that is buried be- neath this necessary front of public life?"
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't you sleep?
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't you talk to me here?
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't you tell me?
mdp.39015063943610	Can I depend on that?
mdp.39015063943610	Corny?
mdp.39015063943610	Could you see Martin from where you were sit- ting?
mdp.39015063943610	Did Harrison have his arm about the girl?
mdp.39015063943610	Did Martin have any enemies?
mdp.39015063943610	Did anyone ever tell you that you can be most aggravating?
mdp.39015063943610	Did anyone see you?
mdp.39015063943610	Did he steal it, Joan?
mdp.39015063943610	Did he try it?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't I tell you to wait for me?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't I tell you we were going to be married this morning? mdp.39015063943610 Did n't I tell you we'd pack them in?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't the Inspector say something about a knife?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't you find any papers, notebooks, diaries, or memoranda?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't you know it was n't a faint? mdp.39015063943610 Did n't you know that Harrison's life had been threatened?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't you see her roadster parked at the curb in front of Martin's apartment?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't you try to do anything for Martin?
mdp.39015063943610	Did the argument stop there?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you come here tonight to see him?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you find it?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you get her?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you give him anything?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you hear them quarreling?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you know Martin?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you know this Phil Martin?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you see Martin tonight?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you see her?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you see the knife?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you see this lady leave the apartment?
mdp.39015063943610	Did you send for them?
mdp.39015063943610	Do I have to put it in writing?
mdp.39015063943610	Do I know any more than the rest?
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you have a regular place where you keep it?
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you know that ninety- nine times out of a hundred circumstan- tial evidence is true?
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you know?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you agree?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you feel the way I do? mdp.39015063943610 Do you have a copy?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do you know anything about these machines?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you play the Benefit?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you take me with you or do I scream?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you think I ought to tell the police?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you think I was looking at you with all the things I had on my mind? mdp.39015063943610 Do you think I'm as bad as that?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do you want me to go to jail for perjury, accessory before and after the fact, and several other things?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you want to deny the statement published in the Portland paper?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you want to swear out a warrant?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you? mdp.39015063943610 Does it annoy you?"
mdp.39015063943610	Double murder?
mdp.39015063943610	Er- what?
mdp.39015063943610	Escape? mdp.39015063943610 Even if he calls you a sissy?"
mdp.39015063943610	Ever do anything to him?
mdp.39015063943610	Ever have any business with him?
mdp.39015063943610	Fields, eh? mdp.39015063943610 For what?"
mdp.39015063943610	For what?
mdp.39015063943610	From the poorhouse, I suppose you mean?
mdp.39015063943610	Give me the break, will you?
mdp.39015063943610	Give up?
mdp.39015063943610	Guilty conscience?
mdp.39015063943610	Had n't we better tell him?
mdp.39015063943610	Hal, for God's sake, go out and show yourself, will you? mdp.39015063943610 Have a heart, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063943610	Have n't you looked at them?
mdp.39015063943610	Have you any men here?
mdp.39015063943610	Have you been in communication with Martin?
mdp.39015063943610	Have you found it?
mdp.39015063943610	Have you located the person in the orchestra who received the message which you think came from Martin?
mdp.39015063943610	Have you told Burke?
mdp.39015063943610	He did n't happen to owe you money, did he?
mdp.39015063943610	He does n't know you come here? mdp.39015063943610 He served papers on you, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063943610	He wo n't let any of this get into the papers, will you, Inspector?
mdp.39015063943610	How about that elevator boy?
mdp.39015063943610	How about that threatened suit of Martin's?
mdp.39015063943610	How about the people who tried to make get- aways?
mdp.39015063943610	How about the pest who wanted an X- ray of my throat?
mdp.39015063943610	How about us?
mdp.39015063943610	How about you?
mdp.39015063943610	How could I in the dark? mdp.39015063943610 How could I see her?"
mdp.39015063943610	How could Martin have done those things?
mdp.39015063943610	How could a man balance a knife like that on a stick?
mdp.39015063943610	How dare you? mdp.39015063943610 How did you know?"
mdp.39015063943610	How do I know that Martin has n't been the cause of all the trouble we've been having en route?
mdp.39015063943610	How do I know why drunks talk?
mdp.39015063943610	How do I know why guys wanna do the things they do? mdp.39015063943610 How do I know?
mdp.39015063943610	How do I know?
mdp.39015063943610	How do you happen to know so much about what goes on in a place like this?
mdp.39015063943610	How do you know so much about it?
mdp.39015063943610	How do you like our place, Hal?
mdp.39015063943610	How do you like that?
mdp.39015063943610	How do you suppose this Martin person was killed?
mdp.39015063943610	How long have you been with Harrison's band?
mdp.39015063943610	How should I know? mdp.39015063943610 How was it held?"
mdp.39015063943610	Huh?
mdp.39015063943610	I can depend on you to tell the truth, ca n't I?
mdp.39015063943610	I can understand your saying,'I hope they hang you,'but what I want to know is what made you add,'for this murder'?
mdp.39015063943610	I did?
mdp.39015063943610	I do n't make mistakes,Burke stated, then with a change of mind asked,"What do you want?"
mdp.39015063943610	I said if you wanted to know something more about the affair at the Gardens, did n't I?
mdp.39015063943610	If Martin was so anxious to ruin Harrison, why did n't he go on with his suit?
mdp.39015063943610	If you had the goods on Martin you had nothing to fear, did you?
mdp.39015063943610	In the radio?
mdp.39015063943610	Inspector, may I speak?
mdp.39015063943610	Is he there?
mdp.39015063943610	Is it right for me to be saying things that may hurt innocent people?
mdp.39015063943610	Is n't he the dear boy? mdp.39015063943610 Is n't it simply awful?"
mdp.39015063943610	Is n't it strange that you saw nothing?
mdp.39015063943610	Is that a statement for the press or just blowing off steam among friends?
mdp.39015063943610	Is that lady here?
mdp.39015063943610	Is that why you tried to get out right after the murder?
mdp.39015063943610	Is that you, Joan?
mdp.39015063943610	It will put Joan in such a bad light, wo n't it? mdp.39015063943610 It's just ducky, is n't it?""
mdp.39015063943610	It's just like living in a birdoge, is n't it?
mdp.39015063943610	It's worth a try, is n't it?
mdp.39015063943610	Jealous?
mdp.39015063943610	Just what was your reason?
mdp.39015063943610	Like murder, for instance?
mdp.39015063943610	Like what?
mdp.39015063943610	Listen, Charlotte, are you trying to give my place a bad name?
mdp.39015063943610	May I come in?
mdp.39015063943610	May I go now?
mdp.39015063943610	Me?
mdp.39015063943610	Me?
mdp.39015063943610	More disgrace? mdp.39015063943610 Near a shack here, you say?"
mdp.39015063943610	Not even a frantic woman?
mdp.39015063943610	Not much, why?
mdp.39015063943610	Now clear out, boys, will you? mdp.39015063943610 Now what?"
mdp.39015063943610	Now who would do a thing like that?
mdp.39015063943610	Oh, he did, did he?
mdp.39015063943610	Oh, he is, is he?
mdp.39015063943610	Oh, it does, does it?
mdp.39015063943610	Oh, she wo n't, wo n't she?
mdp.39015063943610	Oh, you do n't, do n't you?
mdp.39015063943610	Oh, you were, were you?
mdp.39015063943610	On a charge like this? mdp.39015063943610 On what charge?"
mdp.39015063943610	Only what?
mdp.39015063943610	Perhaps Martin destroyed it?
mdp.39015063943610	Photographers?
mdp.39015063943610	Pipe down, will you?
mdp.39015063943610	Quit?
mdp.39015063943610	Right? mdp.39015063943610 Say, are you taking it seriously?"
mdp.39015063943610	Scare me?
mdp.39015063943610	See anything?
mdp.39015063943610	Shall I put him out?
mdp.39015063943610	She did it for me, did n't you, darling?
mdp.39015063943610	Should I call the cops?
mdp.39015063943610	So do we go?
mdp.39015063943610	So when you met Martin you accused him of sending it?
mdp.39015063943610	So you do n't like it?
mdp.39015063943610	So you gave up your suit?
mdp.39015063943610	So you lied to me, eh?
mdp.39015063943610	Stung whom?
mdp.39015063943610	Suppose he never left it?
mdp.39015063943610	Suppose you had gone there last night, would you have been careful?
mdp.39015063943610	Tell me, Miller, what did you do with the body?
mdp.39015063943610	Tell me, when Martin started to sing, what did Harrison do?
mdp.39015063943610	Tell the boys to be careful, will you?
mdp.39015063943610	Tell them what?
mdp.39015063943610	That right?
mdp.39015063943610	That stuff in the chair, do n't you think we ought to look it over?
mdp.39015063943610	That was n't hard to do, was it?
mdp.39015063943610	That's right,Fields agreed"So what?"
mdp.39015063943610	The dame?
mdp.39015063943610	The old bologna, eh?
mdp.39015063943610	The purity boy does n't want dirty publicity, does he?
mdp.39015063943610	The truth hurts, does it?
mdp.39015063943610	Then Harrison was alone on the stand?
mdp.39015063943610	Then that does n't make it look so good, does it?
mdp.39015063943610	Then where is the money you drew from the bank?
mdp.39015063943610	Then who did- Fields?
mdp.39015063943610	Then who did?
mdp.39015063943610	Then why did n't you take some action?
mdp.39015063943610	Then why does n't he get some real clues? mdp.39015063943610 Then why should he testify the way he did?"
mdp.39015063943610	Then why this?
mdp.39015063943610	Then you admit I'm right?

mdp.39015063943610	As she passed him he whispered,"Try and cheer Hal up a bit, will you?"
mdp.39015063943610	As she snapped the lid closed, she said,"You wo n't ever tell him about me, will you?"
mdp.39015063943610	As the door closed behind them, Joan whispered in Hal's ear,"Who's telling lies now, little George Washington?"
mdp.39015063943610	Ask them what they found?
mdp.39015063943610	At that moment Maxie rushed into the room, waved a telegram at Hal, and cried,"Now what are you going to do?"
mdp.39015063943610	Burke looked at her quizzically for a moment and asked,"You would n't be knowing what stung him, would you?"
mdp.39015063943610	Burke switched to Hal and demanded,"Did you know about this threatened alienation suit?"
mdp.39015063943610	But how was it done?"
mdp.39015063943610	But she ca n't come back, can she?
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't I have any normal reactions?
mdp.39015063943610	Ca n't you see they are distasteful to her?

mdp.39015063943610	Could n't you tell the man was dying?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did I know there had been a murder?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't I tell you so?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't I tell you?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't I?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't she know that he would n't think of leaving San Francisco until Mary was freed from the accusation which hung over her?
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't we give you all the news you wanted up at the hotel?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't you realize that there was some- thing wrong with Martin?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did n't you see anything at all?"
mdp.39015063943610	Did you buy anything that would make a nice present?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do I go to jail?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do I have to submit to this sort of thing without taking action?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you agree with me?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you remember, I told you?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you see it?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do n't you think she'd rather have her own things?"

mdp.39015063943610	Do you know what I'm going to do here?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do you know why?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do you remember Harrison butting in on you last night just after Mrs. Dufrane was taken to the office to be questioned?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do you suppose it's safe for me to go to Chinatown?
mdp.39015063943610	Do you think I'm a mind- reader?

mdp.39015063943610	Do you want to ruin the show?"
mdp.39015063943610	Do you want to tell me?
mdp.39015063943610	Does n't everybody have arguments with musicians?
mdp.39015063943610	Does n't everybody know that?"
mdp.39015063943610	Does she look like a dance hall type?"
mdp.39015063943610	Does your head hurt?"
mdp.39015063943610	Doubt is a terrible thing, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063943610	Fell right into our laps, did n't they?

mdp.39015063943610	Had he taken her at her word?
mdp.39015063943610	Had she killed her hus- band?
mdp.39015063943610	Hal brought the number to a close and made a short announcement:"Is there a doctor in the house, please?
mdp.39015063943610	Hal stopped playing and asked,"Did I hear some- one at the door?"
mdp.39015063943610	Harrison's?"
mdp.39015063943610	Has the body been found?"
mdp.39015063943610	Have n't you done enough?
mdp.39015063943610	Have you any ideas, either of you?"
mdp.39015063943610	Have you anything to say now?"
mdp.39015063943610	He could n't have stabbed Phil Martin in that position, could he?"
mdp.39015063943610	He has such verve, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063943610	He jumped up when he saw Joan and seemed anxious to get away, but Joan planted herself squarely before him and demanded,"What's she been telling you?"
mdp.39015063943610	He turned to Fields and demanded,"Why was he mur- dered?"
mdp.39015063943610	He turned to the others and asked,"Can any of you lead this band?"
mdp.39015063943610	He winced as his finger touched the sore and cried,"Did n't I run into a door?
mdp.39015063943610	He'll be glad to play for the Benefit now, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063943610	He's dead, ai n't he?
mdp.39015063943610	Her explanation was cut short by the ap- pearance of Dave Fields, who looked into the box and asked pleasantly,"Everything all right?"

mdp.39015063943610	How did Mary know?

mdp.39015063943610	Kingford interrupted to shout,"Is that so?

mdp.39015063525748	Have you heard from Dover?
mdp.39015063525748	Have you kept the envelope?
mdp.39015063525748	Have you seen him yourself?
mdp.39015063525748	Have your men traced him yet? mdp.39015063525748 He could have struck that blow?"
mdp.39015063525748	He does not seem to you the simple bandit? mdp.39015063525748 He gave it her?
mdp.39015063525748	He sees her dead and he denies her?
mdp.39015063525748	He was very nice and tame, was n't he? mdp.39015063525748 Heaven, how should I know?
mdp.39015063525748	His blood?
mdp.39015063525748	His confidence? mdp.39015063525748 His one hobby, what?"
mdp.39015063525748	How are you?
mdp.39015063525748	How can you be sure?
mdp.39015063525748	How can you know?
mdp.39015063525748	How can you? mdp.39015063525748 How did she pay her bill?"
mdp.39015063525748	How did you know?
mdp.39015063525748	How do you do? mdp.39015063525748 How do you do?"
mdp.39015063525748	How do you make out we want Brussels?
mdp.39015063525748	How does it strike the higher intelligence, Lomas?
mdp.39015063525748	How goes it, what?
mdp.39015063525748	How long has she been like this?
mdp.39015063525748	How?
mdp.39015063525748	Howard, I suppose you know who I am?
mdp.39015063525748	Hullo, old thing—she patted Mrs. Brigg on the head —"had a good day?"
mdp.39015063525748	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063525748	I hope you do n't think"What have you been giving her?
mdp.39015063525748	I infer the patient is doing well?
mdp.39015063525748	I say, Fortune — do you find the room rather dark?
mdp.39015063525748	I suppose he just lived for this place?
mdp.39015063525748	I suppose he wrote to you, too?
mdp.39015063525748	I suppose the parish is rather large?
mdp.39015063525748	I want to know what the bally charge is?
mdp.39015063525748	I — I — oh, it — it's very modern, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	I? mdp.39015063525748 If he had lost that tooth before the murder, this piece can not be his?"
mdp.39015063525748	In a hurry, are we?
mdp.39015063525748	In the dead of night?
mdp.39015063525748	In the scientific department?
mdp.39015063525748	Is Dora dead?
mdp.39015063525748	Is he dead?
mdp.39015063525748	Is it Dr. Doelen's secretary, sir? mdp.39015063525748 Is it really?"
mdp.39015063525748	Is it some kind of religious thing, would you say, sir?
mdp.39015063525748	Is it the chap you were looking for?
mdp.39015063525748	Is my boy going to live?
mdp.39015063525748	Is my mother with him?
mdp.39015063525748	Is she, though? mdp.39015063525748 Is that so?
mdp.39015063525748	Is that so? mdp.39015063525748 Is that so?"
mdp.39015063525748	Is that what you expected? mdp.39015063525748 Is that you, Reginald?
mdp.39015063525748	Is the lady in?
mdp.39015063525748	Is the room which Madame had vacant?
mdp.39015063525748	Is there a chance for her?
mdp.39015063525748	Is there anything urgent?
mdp.39015063525748	Is there anything we can do?
mdp.39015063525748	Is this true? mdp.39015063525748 It beats me"—the Inspector breathed hard"What is there Greek about bread and cheese?"
mdp.39015063525748	It does all fit, does n't it, Bell?
mdp.39015063525748	It only comes in this room: and only at night?
mdp.39015063525748	It was perjured evidence? mdp.39015063525748 It's very clever, sir"—the Inspector hesitated"But why would Greeks want to kidnap the Earl of Cleeve's son?"
mdp.39015063525748	Just a little hasty, were n't you?
mdp.39015063525748	Just wait, will you? mdp.39015063525748 Know her?"
mdp.39015063525748	Know him?
mdp.39015063525748	Know him?
mdp.39015063525748	Lady Smith- Marner — couldn't he remain here?
mdp.39015063525748	Let's come in, may we, Miss Grant?
mdp.39015063525748	Like a policeman?
mdp.39015063525748	Livin'at the works?
mdp.39015063525748	Lord, sir, what can you make of it? mdp.39015063525748 Losing confidence, eh?"
mdp.39015063525748	Madame Marchal dead down here? mdp.39015063525748 Made up your sleep?"
mdp.39015063525748	Mak- ing for the road, ai n't she? mdp.39015063525748 Maniac?
mdp.39015063525748	Marchal denies her?
mdp.39015063525748	Me? mdp.39015063525748 Meaning to go down, sir?"
mdp.39015063525748	Might have been feverish, do n't you know?
mdp.39015063525748	Miss Alice Everard — that says nothing to you, my dear Fortune?
mdp.39015063525748	Miss Gray did n't like them?
mdp.39015063525748	Mr. Fortune, do you believe this man's guilty?
mdp.39015063525748	Mr. Fortune,she said in a low voice,"what does it all mean?
mdp.39015063525748	Mr. Fortune? mdp.39015063525748 Mr. Harry Smith- Marner?"
mdp.39015063525748	Mr. Lomas, sir? mdp.39015063525748 My dear lady"— Reggie smiled —"are you sug- gesting that I have made away with your husband?
mdp.39015063525748	My what?
mdp.39015063525748	My wife is dead here? mdp.39015063525748 Nah, w'at'd anyone want to tike that for?"
mdp.39015063525748	Name of God, what vile thing are you?
mdp.39015063525748	Nice things?
mdp.39015063525748	No change in her manner as time went on?
mdp.39015063525748	No doubt about it?
mdp.39015063525748	No doubt about that, is there? mdp.39015063525748 No doubt you ll find morphia, I suppose?"
mdp.39015063525748	No ideas?
mdp.39015063525748	No letter?
mdp.39015063525748	No one who has a reason? mdp.39015063525748 No suspicions of any of the servants?
mdp.39015063525748	Nobody else in the place?
mdp.39015063525748	Not finished, is it?
mdp.39015063525748	Not like anybody you ever saw elsewhere?
mdp.39015063525748	Not many cars come along here?
mdp.39015063525748	Not much used by that curse of the modern world, the motor- car?
mdp.39015063525748	Not popular, are we?
mdp.39015063525748	Not so sure about this Greek ship theory? mdp.39015063525748 Not sure, eh?"
mdp.39015063525748	Nothing has ever happened, has it, Bertie? mdp.39015063525748 Now I know you, what about a cocktail?"
mdp.39015063525748	Now what about a doctor, young fellow?
mdp.39015063525748	Now who are you?
mdp.39015063525748	Now, Dr. Whinney, what are you going to tell me?
mdp.39015063525748	Now, Reginald, what's that?
mdp.39015063525748	Now, what do you think you're doing?
mdp.39015063525748	Now, what exactly do you mean, Finch?
mdp.39015063525748	Now, what have you got for us?
mdp.39015063525748	Now, what's little Blackshaw going to do about it?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh I And they did n't find anything queer?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, Mr. Neath has friends, has he?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, and could there be muffins?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, but what could there be?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, did it?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, did you I What do you want to meddle for? mdp.39015063525748 Oh, he was interested?"
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, is there anything more — anything dreadful?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, just the notes?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, my God, what have you told Harry?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, my friend I Who are they ever, these vaga- bonds? mdp.39015063525748 Oh, police, are you?"
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, really? mdp.39015063525748 Oh, that was put on, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, why should we?
mdp.39015063525748	Oh, wo n't you sit down?
mdp.39015063525748	Or six or seven?
mdp.39015063525748	Or where would we be?
mdp.39015063525748	Permit me, my friend — do you perhaps know Miss Everard — Miss Alice Everard?
mdp.39015063525748	Peter is all right?
mdp.39015063525748	Peter knows?
mdp.39015063525748	Peter saw her?
mdp.39015063525748	Poor girl, she'd say'What's that?' mdp.39015063525748 Queer, ai n't it, sir?
mdp.39015063525748	Queer, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Quite clear, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Quite natural, were n't they? mdp.39015063525748 Really?
mdp.39015063525748	Safety- first idea, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Said you must n't marry Westow? mdp.39015063525748 Sam, how is Mr. Howard's car feeling?"
mdp.39015063525748	Same old game, what? mdp.39015063525748 Satisfied now?"
mdp.39015063525748	Search her, sir?
mdp.39015063525748	See her?
mdp.39015063525748	See the date?
mdp.39015063525748	Seem to be all on our toes, do n't we?
mdp.39015063525748	Shall we have a turn in the garden, Fortune?
mdp.39015063525748	She does n't look well, does she? mdp.39015063525748 She lives, then?"
mdp.39015063525748	She never gave you a photograph?
mdp.39015063525748	She went out in the night?
mdp.39015063525748	Should we, Lomas? mdp.39015063525748 Sir, sir, have you any hope?"
mdp.39015063525748	So he knows all about Marchal?
mdp.39015063525748	So serious as that?
mdp.39015063525748	So this is it, what? mdp.39015063525748 Some sort of doctor, what?"
mdp.39015063525748	Something rather wonderful, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Something special there?
mdp.39015063525748	Sounds like the plot of a good old melodrama, does n't it? mdp.39015063525748 Stand by, will you?
mdp.39015063525748	Sug- gestive, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Sure?
mdp.39015063525748	Surely for a relief of my necessities?
mdp.39015063525748	Taking it easy, what?
mdp.39015063525748	Taking this matter rather seriously, are n't you, Fortune? mdp.39015063525748 Tell me, what first suggested that?"
mdp.39015063525748	That Mr. Fortune? mdp.39015063525748 That interested you?"
mdp.39015063525748	That looks like a man, do n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	That you do n't think Percy was the murderer or that you do n't think you can make a jury say he was?
mdp.39015063525748	That's all very well, but how are you going to work out the case?
mdp.39015063525748	That's for you to say, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	That's like her, is it? mdp.39015063525748 That's why she was so anxious to know whether I had seen Marchal?
mdp.39015063525748	The Marchals have never been here before?
mdp.39015063525748	The boy had your consent to marry her, madam?
mdp.39015063525748	The captain?
mdp.39015063525748	The chemical manufacturer?
mdp.39015063525748	The devil I Do you expect not to pay for my name, sir?
mdp.39015063525748	The envelope? mdp.39015063525748 The envelope?
mdp.39015063525748	The intelligent Rapley thus failin'us,said Reggie,"is there anyone who was here when the thing was made?"
mdp.39015063525748	The lady, sir?
mdp.39015063525748	The letter, please?
mdp.39015063525748	The little milliner? mdp.39015063525748 The other end?"
mdp.39015063525748	The play- acting touch? mdp.39015063525748 The rock garden?"
mdp.39015063525748	The story of his life?
mdp.39015063525748	Then why not use it? mdp.39015063525748 There'll be some more pictures of yours about, wo n't there?
mdp.39015063525748	There's no reason in anything, is there?
mdp.39015063525748	They had lunch here, eh?
mdp.39015063525748	This is Miss Gray's writing?
mdp.39015063525748	This nightmare geometry? mdp.39015063525748 Told him anything?
mdp.39015063525748	Use it in medicine, do n't you?
mdp.39015063525748	Wait? mdp.39015063525748 Want me/ sir?"
mdp.39015063525748	Want to pinch THE FOOTBALL PHOTOGRAPH 143 me for something, do you? mdp.39015063525748 Want to talk now, Clark?"
mdp.39015063525748	Was he drowned?
mdp.39015063525748	Was he married?
mdp.39015063525748	Was he?
mdp.39015063525748	Was it part of the scheme that Harry should be made to kill himself?
mdp.39015063525748	Was it? mdp.39015063525748 Was that the woman who came to you?"
mdp.39015063525748	Was vat one of the bad men vat fell?
mdp.39015063525748	We can convict them of the burglary, then?
mdp.39015063525748	We've had a case or two before, have n't we?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, Forbes, what about it?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, Mr. Fortune, got poor Harry com- fortably provided for? mdp.39015063525748 Well, let's get on, what?"
mdp.39015063525748	Well, my dear Reginald, how are things?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, what are you going to do?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, what is it?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, what's he giving us now?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, what's the opinion?
mdp.39015063525748	Well, where's your interesting little problem, then?
mdp.39015063525748	Well?
mdp.39015063525748	Were you afraid of that?
mdp.39015063525748	Were you getting up to- day? mdp.39015063525748 Were you there?"
mdp.39015063525748	What THE ROCK GARDEN 185 is the reason for its existence? mdp.39015063525748 What about it, Lomas?"
mdp.39015063525748	What about it?
mdp.39015063525748	What about the girl? mdp.39015063525748 What about the pictures?"
mdp.39015063525748	What are his teeth like?
mdp.39015063525748	What are we talking about? mdp.39015063525748 What are you going to do to me?"
mdp.39015063525748	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063525748	What are you going to tell Harry?
mdp.39015063525748	What are you trying to prove?
mdp.39015063525748	What can I do for you? mdp.39015063525748 What can you do?"
mdp.39015063525748	What could I do? mdp.39015063525748 What could the rock garden have to do with it?"
mdp.39015063525748	What did she keep this for, Bell?
mdp.39015063525748	What did you expect to hear?
mdp.39015063525748	What do I know? mdp.39015063525748 What do I know?"
mdp.39015063525748	What do you hear?
mdp.39015063525748	What do you know about it?
mdp.39015063525748	What do you make of it?
mdp.39015063525748	What do you mean, wonder?
mdp.39015063525748	What do you mean? mdp.39015063525748 What do you mean?"

mdp.39015063525748	What do you want with me?
mdp.39015063525748	What does this mean, Lomas?
mdp.39015063525748	What else could I do?
mdp.39015063525748	What for?
mdp.39015063525748	What has affected your son, madam?
mdp.39015063525748	What have you come for?
mdp.39015063525748	What have you found?
mdp.39015063525748	What have you got in your head, Reginald? mdp.39015063525748 What have you got in your mind?"

mdp.39015063525748	And are we yet alive and see each other's face?
mdp.39015063525748	And are you buying it?"

mdp.39015063525748	And why did they kill him?
mdp.39015063525748	And why does it exist there?
mdp.39015063525748	And why has the room only got one window?"
mdp.39015063525748	And why was it sent?"
mdp.39015063525748	And you ca n't think either?"

mdp.39015063525748	Is n't that clear?"
mdp.39015063525748	It is interesting, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063525748	It is marvellous, is it not, Dubois?"
mdp.39015063525748	It's going to be a straight case of a poachers'murder, is n't it?"

mdp.39015063525748	Quite a good fake, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Quite common, is n't it?
mdp.39015063525748	Rather vague too, was n't she?

mdp.39015063525748	She was alone?"
mdp.39015063525748	Slight?
mdp.39015063525748	So I rang up the land- lord and said,'What's become of Harvey Stroud?'
mdp.39015063525748	So in the evening I went round to'er lodgings to see if she'd been took ill. And she was n't there, Mr. Fortune I""Where are the lodgings?"

mdp.39015063525748	Sorry you have been tmroubled, what?"
mdp.39015063525748	Sort of letter you'd expect?"
mdp.39015063525748	Sturdy little wretch, is n't he?"
mdp.39015063525748	Sure a man ought to be hanged, or sure you can get him hanged?

mdp.39015063525748	The question is, what did you give her?"
mdp.39015063525748	Then Dorothy cried,"Mr. Fortune, have you seen my father this morning?"
mdp.39015063525748	Then Lomas said,"What's the attraction, Reginald?
mdp.39015063525748	Then faintly:"Is it finished?"

mdp.39015063525748	You are satisfied?"
mdp.39015063525748	You come to Paris for business?"
mdp.39015063525748	You did n't stop that?"
mdp.39015063525748	You do n't believe the woman I see is buried there?"
mdp.39015063525748	You do n't mean?"
mdp.39015063525748	You do n't really think so?"
mdp.39015063525748	You do n't suspect Cleeve himself?"
mdp.39015063525748	You have n't been very wise, have you?
mdp.39015063525748	You have n't heard?
mdp.39015063525748	You have n't thought much, have you?"
mdp.39015063525748	You hear me?
mdp.39015063525748	You heard what I said?
mdp.39015063525748	You make people rather like you, do n't you?
mdp.39015063525748	You permit?
mdp.39015063525748	You said he was one of your best men?"
mdp.39015063525748	You see?"
mdp.39015063525748	You'd swear to that?"
mdp.39015063525748	You'll have her looked for, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063525748	You're satisfied Napper was killed up there on the down by the covert?
mdp.39015063525748	You're satisfied?
mdp.39015063525748	You've all been rather in the dark, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063525748	You've made your examination of the girl, what?
mdp.39015063525748	•"Did I?"
mdp.39015063962404	A gift to him from his mother?
mdp.39015063962404	A hunch?
mdp.39015063962404	A man's jealousy of his own son,Peter muttered, shaking his head grimly, and after a slight pause he added:"Had there been a showdown, Berkley?"
mdp.39015063962404	A motive?
mdp.39015063962404	A very close and old friend of James Hayden — and of your sister?
mdp.39015063962404	Ai n't I the forgiving?
mdp.39015063962404	Ai n't people funny animals?
mdp.39015063962404	All?
mdp.39015063962404	Amn't I telling you?
mdp.39015063962404	Among which are the following?
mdp.39015063962404	An allowance or salary perhaps?
mdp.39015063962404	An insurance policy? mdp.39015063962404 And capable?"
mdp.39015063962404	And he still wo n't talk to a lawyer?
mdp.39015063962404	And his gloves?
mdp.39015063962404	And if Mr. Hayden really did for himself it makes Douglas look rather the fool, does n't it?
mdp.39015063962404	And know- ing Evarest as you do, is there any doubt in your mind, Berkley, that he is in love with your sister? mdp.39015063962404 And was that all?
mdp.39015063962404	And what was she after last night? mdp.39015063962404 And you?"
mdp.39015063962404	Any outsiders? mdp.39015063962404 Any particular ones?"
mdp.39015063962404	Anybody been in here since Mr. Clancy left?
mdp.39015063962404	Anything else? mdp.39015063962404 Anything else?"
mdp.39015063962404	Anything of importance?
mdp.39015063962404	As belonging to deceased?
mdp.39015063962404	At any rate I mean she sha n't be bothered; do you see, Captain Kerrigan? mdp.39015063962404 Because of a feeling that has developed since?"
mdp.39015063962404	Beg yer pardon, Mr. Clancy,he said with a touch of indecision,"but d'you mind telling me how you got down here?"
mdp.39015063962404	Brother?
mdp.39015063962404	But advisable? mdp.39015063962404 But is it really a fact?
mdp.39015063962404	But what of it?
mdp.39015063962404	But, do you understand? mdp.39015063962404 By the way, did you think to ask her about Sunday night?"
mdp.39015063962404	Can you imagine?
mdp.39015063962404	Can you read'em?
mdp.39015063962404	Could I ask why you thought he might, sir? mdp.39015063962404 Dammit, ” exclaimed Kerrigan angrily,"why ca n't a nice smart young man like Hayden make up a story and stick to it?"
mdp.39015063962404	Darn you, Pete,Kerrigan grumbled,"are you kid- din'me?
mdp.39015063962404	Did Emily send you? mdp.39015063962404 Did I say I was sure?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did James Hayden know the provisions of it before he left?
mdp.39015063962404	Did Kerrigan figure out what this bit of tissue paper was?
mdp.39015063962404	Did they find any other papers with it?
mdp.39015063962404	Did you get an idea that it was — or is — a gen- erous bequest?
mdp.39015063962404	Did you happen to notice anything odd about this part of the room?
mdp.39015063962404	Did you know, Mr. Evarest, that even when a man confesses to a crime it is necessary that he prove his statements?
mdp.39015063962404	Did your father threaten to disinherit you?
mdp.39015063962404	Did your sister?
mdp.39015063962404	Do I scent a desire to get rid of the old maestro?
mdp.39015063962404	Do n't you realize that the fact that you are practically disinherited cuts out at least one ordinary motive?
mdp.39015063962404	Do n't you see what Gillespie must have thought? mdp.39015063962404 Do n't you see?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do n't you want to hear the proof?
mdp.39015063962404	Do they know anything about a new one?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you do it often?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you hap- pen to know where the signed will would be kept? mdp.39015063962404 Do you think he has a safe in the house?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do you think the deceased would have approved of your making a permanent home away from New York?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you think there'd be any harm?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you think you could wangle a set for me, Dillon? mdp.39015063962404 Does James Hayden know about this life insurance?
mdp.39015063962404	Does your conscience ever bother you?
mdp.39015063962404	Eh? mdp.39015063962404 Emily?
mdp.39015063962404	Er —Wylie glanced aside at Kerrigan as if for in- spiration, gave a little jerk of the head and asked:"Where was this pistol kept?"
mdp.39015063962404	Find anything?
mdp.39015063962404	Find out anything?
mdp.39015063962404	Forgive me for insisting, Berkley, but are you sure your sister did not know that he was coming back?
mdp.39015063962404	Good Heavens, Cap- tain Kerrigan, how can you call the murder — or suicide — of a man of Mr. Hayden's position'ordinary'?
mdp.39015063962404	Had you any idea of what might have happened to keep Mr. Hayden up so late?
mdp.39015063962404	Had your father made a new will recently?
mdp.39015063962404	Has he any other phobias?
mdp.39015063962404	Has one been drawn recently?
mdp.39015063962404	Have you any idea what your father's estate is now SUDDEN DEATH 191 worth?
mdp.39015063962404	Have you discovered something?
mdp.39015063962404	Have you heard the noise of Dillon's flash in there every little while? ” “ Well, not to say heard it like you would ordinarily I must say, sir. mdp.39015063962404 He was otherwise quite well?
mdp.39015063962404	He was? mdp.39015063962404 His what?"
mdp.39015063962404	How are you, Jake? mdp.39015063962404 How can it possibly be all right, Captain Kerrigan?"
mdp.39015063962404	How could any- one else get in? mdp.39015063962404 How do you know he was young?
mdp.39015063962404	How do you know that?
mdp.39015063962404	How does he fit into the picture, Pete? mdp.39015063962404 How soon did you arrive after the butler gave the alarm?"
mdp.39015063962404	How'd you know I had n't thought of it already?
mdp.39015063962404	I know I can count on your help, Mr. Evarest, and I can call on you?
mdp.39015063962404	I saw a man go up the steps of the Hayden house Sunday night. ” “ Alone?
mdp.39015063962404	I suppose that might have weight — even with a man like Updegraff, do you think?
mdp.39015063962404	I think it was executed — is that what they call it?
mdp.39015063962404	I went down, sir. ” “ You were anxious about him?
mdp.39015063962404	I — well, you know — work — and — and —"Your mother had nothing to do with it?
mdp.39015063962404	I'm going to get right up. ” “ Can I get you anything?
mdp.39015063962404	I'm very sorry, Mr.-ah- Clancy, is n't it?
mdp.39015063962404	If I come along?
mdp.39015063962404	In fact, did I mention — anyone?
mdp.39015063962404	In less than a half hour, being at that time not quite 1 A.M.194 SUDDEN DEATH"The defendant allowed himself to be searched?"
mdp.39015063962404	In the library? ”. mdp.39015063962404 In what particular?"
mdp.39015063962404	In what way might it not be the best solution for her, Berkley?
mdp.39015063962404	In which his father was involved?
mdp.39015063962404	Is it in the house?
mdp.39015063962404	Is it necessary to trouble her? mdp.39015063962404 Is n't that worse? ” “ Maybe.
mdp.39015063962404	Is n't there far more reason to believe the deceased was unhappy and took his own life? mdp.39015063962404 Is that what you were going to say?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is there any harm in that?
mdp.39015063962404	Is there anything you would like to add in your own defense?
mdp.39015063962404	Is this Sixty- second, Wiggar?
mdp.39015063962404	It has n't been used — to rub off anything perhaps? mdp.39015063962404 It is a fact, Mr. Hayden, is n't it, that you and the deceased had a serious quarrel and high words as late as last Tuesday, the fifth of April?"
mdp.39015063962404	It was your father's wish?
mdp.39015063962404	It would n't be satisfactory to you then,countered Kerrigan,"if it could be proved that your brother- in- law shot and killed himself?"
mdp.39015063962404	It's from the San Salvador?
mdp.39015063962404	It's in the house then?
mdp.39015063962404	Killed him? mdp.39015063962404 Lauren?
mdp.39015063962404	Look here, Pete,he said,"it's not late, and you have n't anything to wait for, now this damn mes- sage has come?"
mdp.39015063962404	May I ask why?
mdp.39015063962404	Mind if we handle these other things now, Dillon?
mdp.39015063962404	Mr. Evarest is a great friend of your family, is n't he, Berkley?
mdp.39015063962404	Mr. Hayden — You still called him that?
mdp.39015063962404	Mr. Peter, sir, could I speak with you a minute? ” Peter leaped an incipient tulip bed and went close to the railings. mdp.39015063962404 Mr. Valentine was still sleeping when you went down?"
mdp.39015063962404	Mrs. Hayden knew about this projected trip?
mdp.39015063962404	No bearing? mdp.39015063962404 No gloves?"
mdp.39015063962404	No? mdp.39015063962404 No?"
mdp.39015063962404	No?
mdp.39015063962404	No?
mdp.39015063962404	Not to you perhaps — but after the Hayden butler testifies, what will be the verdict of a jury made up of the common run of men and women? mdp.39015063962404 Now what do you know about that?"
mdp.39015063962404	Oh, do you think he's going to be ill?
mdp.39015063962404	Oh, that's what that speck of white is? mdp.39015063962404 Oh, why in God's name did Jim ever come back from the ship?"
mdp.39015063962404	Oh- h- h?
mdp.39015063962404	Oh? mdp.39015063962404 Or the other?"
mdp.39015063962404	Or your sister?
mdp.39015063962404	Ordinary?
mdp.39015063962404	Perhaps you'd like to make some correction? mdp.39015063962404 Phobias?
mdp.39015063962404	Policemen like you do n't get into the papers much, do they, Kerrigan?
mdp.39015063962404	Position strike you as a bit unusual?
mdp.39015063962404	Should there be something on this handkerchief?
mdp.39015063962404	So you've got a hunch, Pete? mdp.39015063962404 Stolen?"
mdp.39015063962404	Taken with the position of the chair, does n't it sug- gest anything to you?
mdp.39015063962404	That's what you're after, sir? mdp.39015063962404 That's your conclusion also, Captain Ker- rigan?"
mdp.39015063962404	That's your last word, sir?
mdp.39015063962404	The perfume on the handkerchiefs?
mdp.39015063962404	The police? mdp.39015063962404 Then it's your sister's car?"
mdp.39015063962404	Then she was wearing the same dress as when the picture was taken?
mdp.39015063962404	They? mdp.39015063962404 This it, Wig- gar?
mdp.39015063962404	To his face?
mdp.39015063962404	Valentine told you that, too?
mdp.39015063962404	Valentine, perhaps?
mdp.39015063962404	Very nice, is n't it? mdp.39015063962404 Was this drawer open?"
mdp.39015063962404	Was your father still active in business? mdp.39015063962404 We've all agreed —""And you think Douglas would never mention it him- self — later — when it was safe?"
mdp.39015063962404	We?
mdp.39015063962404	Well — the chair, sir?
mdp.39015063962404	Well, Pete, what do you know?
mdp.39015063962404	Well, shall we begin? mdp.39015063962404 Well, that being now accomplished to our mutual satisfaction, shall we be trotting home again?"
mdp.39015063962404	Well, what about it?
mdp.39015063962404	Well, what do you say?
mdp.39015063962404	Well, why not? mdp.39015063962404 Well?"
mdp.39015063962404	Well?
mdp.39015063962404	Well?
mdp.39015063962404	Well?
mdp.39015063962404	Well?
mdp.39015063962404	Were they found like this, do you know?
mdp.39015063962404	Were you here, Dillon, before they moved the body?
mdp.39015063962404	What about those curtains, Dillon?
mdp.39015063962404	What about your sister? mdp.39015063962404 What are they?"
mdp.39015063962404	What d'you mean?
mdp.39015063962404	What did I do? mdp.39015063962404 What did you pick up about our friend Gillespie?
mdp.39015063962404	What do you know about it?
mdp.39015063962404	What do you make of this situation, Pete?
mdp.39015063962404	What do you mean — everything will be all right?
mdp.39015063962404	What do you think, sir?
mdp.39015063962404	What do you want to do first?
mdp.39015063962404	What is it I've forgotten, Wiggar?
mdp.39015063962404	What is it called — the statue?
mdp.39015063962404	What is it they are hinting at? mdp.39015063962404 What is it you're afraid of? ” Peter asked gently.
mdp.39015063962404	What is it, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962404	What is it, Jake?
mdp.39015063962404	What kind of plans?
mdp.39015063962404	What of it?
mdp.39015063962404	What time was that?
mdp.39015063962404	What time will Inverness and Updegraff be ready to go before the Grand Jury with this new evidence, do you know, Jake?
mdp.39015063962404	What was the trouble about?
mdp.39015063962404	What were you doing down here at this time of night?
mdp.39015063962404	What's goin'on here?
mdp.39015063962404	What's the idea?
mdp.39015063962404	What's the message about?
mdp.39015063962404	What's the number of that house on the corner? mdp.39015063962404 What?
mdp.39015063962404	What? mdp.39015063962404 When did those go out?"
mdp.39015063962404	When was the last time you saw it there?
mdp.39015063962404	When you searched the defendant did you find any weapons on him?
mdp.39015063962404	Where do you suppose your late brother- in- law put this will you told Clancy all about?
mdp.39015063962404	Where have they put you?
mdp.39015063962404	Where is the pistol?
mdp.39015063962404	Where you stayed until twelve o'clock?
mdp.39015063962404	Where's Gillespie, do you know?
mdp.39015063962404	Who knew these facts?
mdp.39015063962404	Who surprised whom? mdp.39015063962404 Who to?"
mdp.39015063962404	Who's in there?
mdp.39015063962404	Who, to be exact?
mdp.39015063962404	Why have you never married?
mdp.39015063962404	Why not cross over to Park, Wiggar? mdp.39015063962404 Why not?
mdp.39015063962404	Why not?
mdp.39015063962404	Why?
mdp.39015063962404	Will that do?
mdp.39015063962404	With his father?
mdp.39015063962404	Without your seeing me?
mdp.39015063962404	Would it be a credit to my wife — a feather in her cap, or quite the reverse — if I wanted to kill myself?
mdp.39015063962404	Would my opinion have weight with you, Mr. Evar- est?
mdp.39015063962404	Would n't a description — of it — be enough?
mdp.39015063962404	Would you like me to take the flowers up to her? ” “ Or send Hopkins. mdp.39015063962404 Would you object to making a statement in regard to any income derived from your father's estate up to the time of his death?"
mdp.39015063962404	Would you stand for it, Jake?
mdp.39015063962404	Would you wish me to put on the lights, sir?
mdp.39015063962404	You SUDDEN DEATH 95 have n't seen him, have you, Pete?
mdp.39015063962404	You could leave Emily alone, at a time like this? mdp.39015063962404 You did n't guess that it was put on?"
mdp.39015063962404	You did n't happen to notice the driver particularly, or the license number?
mdp.39015063962404	You did n't think he might be in Mrs. Hayden's room?
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't believe Mr. Hayden had any reason to wish to end his life?
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't make an exception of the week- end — Sun- day? mdp.39015063962404 You do n't mean to say, Captain Kerrigan, that you think he would have taken me into his confidence about that?"
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't think he'll make a scene? mdp.39015063962404 You found blood on his handkerchief?"
mdp.39015063962404	You found the safe — and the will?
mdp.39015063962404	You gave him medicine?
mdp.39015063962404	You had n't the least notion that he thought of re- turning?
mdp.39015063962404	You have been content under your new mistress?
mdp.39015063962404	You heard nothing to alarm you?
mdp.39015063962404	You knew Gillespie is married and that his wife is head cook and a power in the kitchen?
mdp.39015063962404	You know him very well?
mdp.39015063962404	You looked in Mr. Hayden's room?
mdp.39015063962404	You mean Gillespie?
mdp.39015063962404	You mean those worn places on the parquetry?
mdp.39015063962404	You never saw Mr. Clancy before, so how do you know when he left?
mdp.39015063962404	You noticed that I had a cold this morning?
mdp.39015063962404	You stayed on here how much longer after that do you think?
mdp.39015063962404	You think that might have been his object in this in- stance?
mdp.39015063962404	You think the sleep- walking was a fake?
mdp.39015063962404	You think your master had no reason to wish his life ended?
mdp.39015063962404	You were following me, too?
mdp.39015063962404	You were n't included, Berkley?
mdp.39015063962404	You're beginning to think it looks bad for young Hay- den, Pete?
mdp.39015063962404	You're going right over to the laboratory?
mdp.39015063962404	You're maybe a friend of young James Hayden?
mdp.39015063962404	You're not certain yet about Berkley?
mdp.39015063962404	You're very fond of your sister, Berkley, are n't you?
mdp.39015063962404	Your sister would have welcomed it?
mdp.39015063962404	'Make- up and every- thing?"
mdp.39015063962404	's office were watching James Hayden?"
mdp.39015063962404	... Would n't you rather sit on one of those benches? ”"No.
mdp.39015063962404	...""He's explaining- how he came in — in the dark? ” Peter was watching the action of the man and the woman before him with strained, eager eyes.
mdp.39015063962404	..."“ What reason did he give for coming back to New York last night? ” Peter seemed to be thinking aloud.
mdp.39015063962404	155 SUDDEN DEATH"You wo n't do anything reckless, will you, sir?"
mdp.39015063962404	166 SUDDEN DEATH 167"Much above the average in intelligence, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063962404	31 SUDDEN DEATH What is it?"
mdp.39015063962404	86 SUDDEN DEATH What if Evarest, a constant witness to Marvin Hayden's cruel treatment of his beautiful young wife — what if he, also, suspected?
mdp.39015063962404	After a second he said, “ Berkley, where is this will? ” Valentine bent his head still lower.
mdp.39015063962404	After a second he said:"Mind if we go back, Jake?
mdp.39015063962404	After all, what could I say?
mdp.39015063962404	Ah, who could say?
mdp.39015063962404	Aloud he said,"How recently?"
mdp.39015063962404	Am I interrupting you, Berkley?"
mdp.39015063962404	Am I right, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063962404	And Williams and Evar- est and Charlie Fosdick and — ” “ And James Hayden? ” Peter's hands were like steel clamps on the boy's shoulders.
mdp.39015063962404	And do your — best! ” SUDDEN DEATH 235 told by that film of yours, and you'll be bound to show it in court now — unless —""Unless what?"
mdp.39015063962404	And even that James Hayden allowed it — because he realized that her's were there already?
mdp.39015063962404	And finding the door locked —""How do you know what Mrs. Hayden did, Gillespie?"
mdp.39015063962404	And how could I have this horrible thing brought out in court, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962404	And how young?"
mdp.39015063962404	And refused what?"
mdp.39015063962404	And see whom it's made out to?"
mdp.39015063962404	And some- one else pick it up?
mdp.39015063962404	And that's his own little gold pencil on the floor?"
mdp.39015063962404	And the kid with you?
mdp.39015063962404	And then what will we do about it?"
mdp.39015063962404	And was Truth something different — or rather larger — more embracing?
mdp.39015063962404	And when the old cock on the bench said,'Defendant moves that the case- Is that the way they always do it?
mdp.39015063962404	And when?
mdp.39015063962404	And you, Berkley?
mdp.39015063962404	And you, yourself, Mr. Peter?
mdp.39015063962404	And, Dillon, you photographed the weapon I sup- pose?"
mdp.39015063962404	Any com- plex there, would you say maybe, Pete?"
mdp.39015063962404	Any of the servants up- stairs?"
mdp.39015063962404	Are you working on this case?"
mdp.39015063962404	As long as there's a chance — But is there?"
mdp.39015063962404	As they started uptown, he asked:"Where you going yourself?
mdp.39015063962404	As to to- morrow?
mdp.39015063962404	As usual, Sunday night about eleven, we came out to- gether —"“ We?
mdp.39015063962404	Because could you re- member, with the dead body right there before you, exactly what you said and did?
mdp.39015063962404	Been stealing your thun- der, Jake?"
mdp.39015063962404	Berkley?"
mdp.39015063962404	Berkley?"
mdp.39015063962404	Besides which, between you and me and Judge Carstairs, do you think there were n't any holes in the defense we put up?"
mdp.39015063962404	Bring the kid?
mdp.39015063962404	But I believe it's always best to bet on the hounds, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063962404	But could that not somehow — some day — involve the others?
mdp.39015063962404	But does n't it keep you awake?"
mdp.39015063962404	But how can I prove it?"
mdp.39015063962404	But how do we know where Gillespie was half an hour- fifteen or twenty minutes- before that time?
mdp.39015063962404	But if all this gang of well- wishers comes barging in —""What about this young Berkley, Jake?"
mdp.39015063962404	But is n't the other — more probable? ” “ The wind shifts, ” said Peter, in a serious voice.
mdp.39015063962404	But was n't it fair to let her choose — a new life — in a new country?
mdp.39015063962404	But what am I to do?"
mdp.39015063962404	But —"136 SUDDEN DEATH 137"But what?"
mdp.39015063962404	By the way, Jake, was Gillespie asked any SUDDEN DEATH questions about a will? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063962404	CHAPTER XI"Where do we go from here?"
mdp.39015063962404	Ca n't you be frank with me, sweet- heart?"
mdp.39015063962404	Ca n't you see?
mdp.39015063962404	Ca n't you under- stand?
mdp.39015063962404	Ca n't you understand —"SUDDEN DEATH 31"What?"
mdp.39015063962404	Ca n't you?
mdp.39015063962404	Can you be sure of that, Gillespie?"
mdp.39015063962404	Can you make out?"
mdp.39015063962404	Can you see?"
mdp.39015063962404	Can you stand it?
mdp.39015063962404	Can you walk or shall I carry you?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Could it be that Mr. Peter knew — knew already — where the guilt of this crime lay?
mdp.39015063962404	Did he go to the office of the line often?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did he lay it down?
mdp.39015063962404	Did he mention why he did n't use it?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did n't you have that point in mind when you were so — ah — reticent with Captain Kerrigan last night?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did n't you? ” he urged.
mdp.39015063962404	Did you get any tips?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did you notice nothing more?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did you notice?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did you notice?"
mdp.39015063962404	Did you or did you not positively identify the one de- fendant says he found beside the body?"
mdp.39015063962404	Dis — What's the matter, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do n't you? ” “ Would it be the most advantageous to my sister?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do n't you? ” “ Would it be the most advantageous to my sister?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do you always see your way clear?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you hear?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you keep a light burning here day and night?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do you know what's on their mind?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do you know why young Mr. Hayden returned from there?"
mdp.39015063962404	Do you mean Dr. Lauren?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you mind seeing yourself out, Valentine?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you mind? ” The face of Douglas Evarest was like a white mask through which dark burning eyes gazed blankly.
mdp.39015063962404	Do you play chess?
mdp.39015063962404	Do you think I'll allow you to make a fool of yourself?
mdp.39015063962404	Does that suggest nothing to you?"
mdp.39015063962404	Entirely?"
mdp.39015063962404	Evarest?"
mdp.39015063962404	Evarest?"
mdp.39015063962404	For another woman?
mdp.39015063962404	Forced whom?
mdp.39015063962404	Frightfully jealous. ” “ Of whom?"
mdp.39015063962404	Guessed?
mdp.39015063962404	Had Evarest tried to shoulder this crime because of a man's devotion to another man?
mdp.39015063962404	Had he left the ship at Balti- more?
mdp.39015063962404	Had she a key?
mdp.39015063962404	Hardened guilt?
mdp.39015063962404	Has anything new happened?
mdp.39015063962404	Have you any- thing against him?
mdp.39015063962404	Have you seen it?"
mdp.39015063962404	Hayden?"
mdp.39015063962404	Hayden?"
mdp.39015063962404	Hayden?"
mdp.39015063962404	He did n't fool you for a minute, did he, Captain Kerrigan?"
mdp.39015063962404	He did n't leave you anything?"
mdp.39015063962404	He might have eluded Mrs. Hayden easily in the dark — and do n't you see, Jake?
mdp.39015063962404	He'd caught them- red handed! ” “ And had he?"
mdp.39015063962404	He's a queer one — but — interesting and artistic, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015063962404	He's not likely to SUDDEN DEATH 169 make a second try — unless —""Unless what?"
mdp.39015063962404	How about you?"
mdp.39015063962404	How could I?"
mdp.39015063962404	How could she?"
mdp.39015063962404	How do you propose to account for the dis- crepancy between your statement to him and the fact that you flew immediately to New York?"
mdp.39015063962404	How was it you happened to go down, Gillespie?
mdp.39015063962404	How?"
mdp.39015063962404	I mean you did n't send someone else out with Mae?"
mdp.39015063962404	I saw the pistol along with Mr. Hay- SUDDEN DEATH defendant's hat and coat in the hall?"
mdp.39015063962404	I suppose you do n't know the details of the disposition of the great Hayden fortune?"
mdp.39015063962404	I'll be with you — What? ” He spoke into the instrument.
mdp.39015063962404	I'm not too familiar with insurance practices, of course, but in the event of the death of a — er — beneficiary I believe they're called?
mdp.39015063962404	I?
mdp.39015063962404	If James Hayden is that kind of a- a man it would be better for her to know it, would n't it?
mdp.39015063962404	If Jim Hayden were to find out — and he's almost sure to, sooner or later —""How could he?"
mdp.39015063962404	If you say that it has?"
mdp.39015063962404	If —""If what?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is it reasonable to think Marvin Hayden handed his gun to his son and asked him to shoot?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is it your wish that I should answer?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is n't SUDDEN DEATH in she a wonder, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962404	Is n't it your feeling that the grand stand play this afternoon was in- tended to impress her?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is n't that what you so carefully re- frained just now from saying?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is there one near here?"
mdp.39015063962404	Is?
mdp.39015063962404	It was Sunday night that I saw the young man on the steps —""Young?
mdp.39015063962404	It was earlier. ”"You're sure? ” Peter's voice was heavy with sup- pressed disappointment.
mdp.39015063962404	It was n't this article you called to my atten- tion?
mdp.39015063962404	It was some- where around twelve, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063962404	Judge Carstairs said quietly:"You were surprised when you saw the defendant?"
mdp.39015063962404	Know what's right — and not so right?"
mdp.39015063962404	Let me handle the situation, will you?"
mdp.39015063962404	Manslaughter?
mdp.39015063962404	May I ask if you know now the cause of his unexpected return?"
mdp.39015063962404	May I?"
mdp.39015063962404	May Wiggar go, too?"
mdp.39015063962404	Mrs. Hayden's brother Valentine?"
mdp.39015063962404	Murder?
mdp.39015063962404	Murdered?
mdp.39015063962404	Must Truth, for him always have an element of hate and ugliness and horror?
mdp.39015063962404	Not disturbed?"
mdp.39015063962404	Notice any- thing peculiar about it?"
mdp.39015063962404	Notice how the edges of those dark blocks of inlay are worn?"
mdp.39015063962404	Now that it has been brought up,"he repeated,"how do you propose to prove that it was you who shot Mr. Hayden night before last?"
mdp.39015063962404	Oh, Wig- gar, if I only knew — could prove what I do know — what would I do?
mdp.39015063962404	On business?"
mdp.39015063962404	Or again, was n't it merely a natural and innocent concern for the welfare of these members of his household?
mdp.39015063962404	Or did n't she know that the door would be locked?
mdp.39015063962404	Or fear of appearing to avoid a perfectly obvious con- nection of ideas?
mdp.39015063962404	Or had he, maybe, a safe in his bed- room?"
mdp.39015063962404	Or innocence?
mdp.39015063962404	Or possibly —""Your sister?"
mdp.39015063962404	Or was?
mdp.39015063962404	Peter only shook his head and the police de- tective burst out:"Why did I say this was any man's race?
mdp.39015063962404	Peter was familiar( as what dyed- in- the- wool New Yorker would not be?)
mdp.39015063962404	Peter's voice was suddenly clear and eager,"Is n't it plain that Marvin Hayden was not suffering from a cold?
mdp.39015063962404	Peter?"
mdp.39015063962404	Peter?"
mdp.39015063962404	Peter?"
mdp.39015063962404	SUDDEN DEATH 125"You mean ten thousand dollars?"
mdp.39015063962404	SUDDEN DEATH 45"Almost like — what do they call it?"
mdp.39015063962404	SUDDEN DEATH 49"You think there's any question about it?"
mdp.39015063962404	SUDDEN DEATH"And Evarest?
mdp.39015063962404	See anything?"
mdp.39015063962404	See what I mean?"
mdp.39015063962404	See?
mdp.39015063962404	See?
mdp.39015063962404	See?
mdp.39015063962404	See?"
mdp.39015063962404	See?"
mdp.39015063962404	Seems to me — Eh?
mdp.39015063962404	Shall I go on? ” Evarest had recovered to some degree his natural quiet courage.
mdp.39015063962404	Shall we go on?"
mdp.39015063962404	So what?"
mdp.39015063962404	So what?"
mdp.39015063962404	Something that has n't gotten into the papers, Jake?"
mdp.39015063962404	Still on the job?"
mdp.39015063962404	That the man, knowing what was before him, could play his part with any degree of self- control seemed a marvel — and indicated — what?
mdp.39015063962404	That's plain to be seen, is n't it, your honor?"
mdp.39015063962404	The other side?
mdp.39015063962404	Then he asked dreamily,"What would you do for ten thousand dollars, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063962404	Then he'd probably have put the will for safe keeping in his bank?"
mdp.39015063962404	Then — what?
mdp.39015063962404	There need be no scandal — for Jim —?
mdp.39015063962404	To be exact — last Sunday night?
mdp.39015063962404	Trig in the sense of being neat, too, eh, Pete?
mdp.39015063962404	Try to pull anything wild, like yesterday?"
mdp.39015063962404	Understand?
mdp.39015063962404	Understand?
mdp.39015063962404	Unexpectedly?
mdp.39015063962404	Was Mr. Valentine Berkley there still?
mdp.39015063962404	Was he skeptical at all? ”"He had never heard, he said, that Mrs. Hayden walked in her sleep, ” Wiggar answered gravely.
mdp.39015063962404	Was he, perhaps, seeking facts only?
mdp.39015063962404	Was it dread of mentioning her?
mdp.39015063962404	Was n't it right to do it?
mdp.39015063962404	Was n't it the best thing in the world that I put you on?
mdp.39015063962404	Was that it?"
mdp.39015063962404	We SUDDEN DEATH 205 will happen now?"
mdp.39015063962404	We have some interest- ing news. ”"Did Emily send you, Douglas? ” insisted Valentine Berkley.
mdp.39015063962404	We'll be in time?"
mdp.39015063962404	We're 73 SUDDEN DEATH through dinner, are n't we, Pete?"
mdp.39015063962404	Well — do you mind passing it along?"
mdp.39015063962404	Well, Pete, what do you think?"
mdp.39015063962404	Were any of these men that you mentioned — Fosdick, Evarest, Williams — in love with her?"
mdp.39015063962404	Were there any discrepancies that you noticed between your record and the testimony just given?"
mdp.39015063962404	What are you doing here? ” The young voice was rough with apprehension.
mdp.39015063962404	What could Mrs. Hayden have wanted of any of these things?"
mdp.39015063962404	What could it be else?
mdp.39015063962404	What did Gillespie think of the sleep- walk- ing idea?
mdp.39015063962404	What did you say, Pete?"
mdp.39015063962404	What do we care?
mdp.39015063962404	What do you think of James Hayden?"
mdp.39015063962404	What do you think?
mdp.39015063962404	What does it matter? ” he said hoarsely.
mdp.39015063962404	What for else?
mdp.39015063962404	What had he seen?
mdp.39015063962404	What hap- 148 SUDDEN DEATH pened?
mdp.39015063962404	What has his difference of religion to do with us?"
mdp.39015063962404	What has the other driver to do with it?"
mdp.39015063962404	What have you got up your sleeve?"
mdp.39015063962404	What if James Hayden knew- or suspected — that she had?
mdp.39015063962404	What if she had wiped other fingerprints from that pistol- earlier?
mdp.39015063962404	What is it?"
mdp.39015063962404	What of it?"
mdp.39015063962404	What of it?"
mdp.39015063962404	What then had caused defendant to alter his plans?
mdp.39015063962404	What time is it, Parker?"
mdp.39015063962404	What took you down so late?"
mdp.39015063962404	What was I saying?"
mdp.39015063962404	What was human justice after all?
mdp.39015063962404	What was it?
mdp.39015063962404	What was she doing there?
mdp.39015063962404	What were we saying?
mdp.39015063962404	What were you saying?"
mdp.39015063962404	What would Gillespie know — that he had n't told them already?"
mdp.39015063962404	What would have happened without us, Captain Kerrigan?
mdp.39015063962404	What's all the excitement?"
mdp.39015063962404	What's on your mind?"
mdp.39015063962404	What's the matter, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962404	What's the show about?"
mdp.39015063962404	What's up?"
mdp.39015063962404	What?
mdp.39015063962404	What?
mdp.39015063962404	What?"
mdp.39015063962404	What?"
mdp.39015063962404	When did it happen?"
mdp.39015063962404	When he was directly in front of Gil- lespie he said:"Mr. Hayden could not have been suffer- ing without your knowing it?
mdp.39015063962404	When the silence became unbearable, Hayden continued fever- ishly:"Do you wonder — could anyone be surprised that I came back?
mdp.39015063962404	Where are you?
mdp.39015063962404	Where was I going?"
mdp.39015063962404	Where'd you pick up this cold?
mdp.39015063962404	Which meant —"You'd just reached this floor when Mrs. Hayden cried out?"
mdp.39015063962404	Who in the world is that, and what does he want?"
mdp.39015063962404	Who knew where that pistol was better than he did?
mdp.39015063962404	Who knows?
mdp.39015063962404	Who was it to?"
mdp.39015063962404	Who would believe that a man, for a comparatively small sum of money, would kill a master to whom he had given years of devotion?
mdp.39015063962404	Who?"
mdp.39015063962404	Who?"
mdp.39015063962404	Why do n't you pick them up?
mdp.39015063962404	Why do n't you want Evarest?"
mdp.39015063962404	Why do you ask?"
mdp.39015063962404	Why do you think he came back — if he is n't guilty?"
mdp.39015063962404	Why the hell is he such a fool as to act the way he does about getting a good lawyer?"
mdp.39015063962404	Why?"
mdp.39015063962404	Why?"
mdp.39015063962404	Will you?"
mdp.39015063962404	With his quick intuition and logic, what facts had he forged together link by link?
mdp.39015063962404	With medical testimony to support that theory?"
mdp.39015063962404	Wo n't they just?
mdp.39015063962404	Wo n't you come in?"
mdp.39015063962404	Would You Like to Know how RED BADGE book* are selected?
mdp.39015063962404	Would his em- ployment of a well- known detective be open to the con- struction of being just a clever blind?
mdp.39015063962404	Would it be in the bank?
mdp.39015063962404	Would n't she be simply marvellous on the stage?
mdp.39015063962404	Would one cancel the other in the minds of a jury?"
mdp.39015063962404	Would she know?"
mdp.39015063962404	Would you think that was the same man that blew into my office all steamed up this afternoon?
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't mind, Jake?"
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't really suspect the kid, do you, Pete? ”"Dammit, Jake, is n't it our business to suspect every- body? ”"But where would be his motive?
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't really suspect the kid, do you, Pete? ”"Dammit, Jake, is n't it our business to suspect every- body? ”"But where would be his motive?
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't really suspect the kid, do you, Pete? ”"Dammit, Jake, is n't it our business to suspect every- body? ”"But where would be his motive?
mdp.39015063962404	You do n't think Hayden would have left him much, do you? ”"No,"said Peter shortly.
mdp.39015063962404	You do?
mdp.39015063962404	You remember?"
mdp.39015063962404	You said you'd seen him this morning?"
mdp.39015063962404	You see this, Pete?
mdp.39015063962404	You see?
mdp.39015063962404	You think it's here?"
mdp.39015063962404	You understand that, do n't you, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962404	You understand?
mdp.39015063962404	You understand?
mdp.39015063962404	You will?"
mdp.39015063962404	You'll have to let him —""Are you telling me my business?"
mdp.39015063962404	You're sure?"
mdp.39015063962404	that would carry him — to what lengths?
mdp.39015063962404	was it on the cards, to put it plainly, that Valentine Berkley could be suspected of murder?
mdp.39015063962404	“ A quarter past eleven, sir. ” “ Was he reading then? ” “ He was. ” SUDDEN DEATH 51"And seemed quite like himself?
mdp.39015063962404	“ A quarter past eleven, sir. ” “ Was he reading then? ” “ He was. ” SUDDEN DEATH 51"And seemed quite like himself?
mdp.39015063962404	“ And were those two about to work that racket when Gillespie butted in?
mdp.39015063962404	“ Are you willing, Hayden, that I should stay here and try to find out whose hand fired that fatal shot?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ At twelve o'clock? ” “ No.
mdp.39015063962404	“ Did you ever hear of a chap- name of Peter Clancy? ” Evarest shook his head.
mdp.39015063962404	“ Do the police know?
mdp.39015063962404	“ Do you mean Adonis?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ Everything is being done to-to make it look black for —""For?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ Murder?
mdp.39015063962404	“ Of what? ” “ Murder, of course."
mdp.39015063962404	“ Val?
mdp.39015063962404	“ Was there any talk of a divorce? ”"No."
mdp.39015063962404	“ Was your sister's husband jealous of his own son?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ What do you know about young Berkley, Mr. Evarest? ” he asked hastily.
mdp.39015063962404	“ What is this black trouble that Gillespie talks about? ” he asked with kind but stern insistence.
mdp.39015063962404	“ What time was that?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ What's happened?
mdp.39015063962404	“ What's his reply?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ When did you see Mr. Hayden last- alive, Gillespie? ” Peter ignored the interruption.
mdp.39015063962404	“ Where — Oh, Val, how did I come here?
mdp.39015063962404	“ Why?"
mdp.39015063962404	“ Yes? ” The man's eyes seemed to focus with diffi- culty.
mdp.39015063962404	“ You think suicide is the best bet, Mr. Clancy? ”"For all concerned, Berkley.
njp.32101076045705	And at the different inns?
njp.32101076045705	And his name?
njp.32101076045705	And she was strangely dressed, from head to foot, all in white?
njp.32101076045705	And where was it?
njp.32101076045705	And you entirely failed to find out her name?
njp.32101076045705	And you found your way to this place yester- day?
njp.32101076045705	And you left the statement I wrote for you, at the police station?
njp.32101076045705	And you told them the news at Limmeridge House?
njp.32101076045705	And your mother?
njp.32101076045705	Are you a man of rank and title yourself?
njp.32101076045705	Are you calmer, now?
njp.32101076045705	Are you quite sure of those words referring to my mother?
njp.32101076045705	Are you sure that your friend in London will receive you at such a late hour as this?
njp.32101076045705	Are you yourself again?
njp.32101076045705	But surely I hear some horrid children in the garden — my private garden — below?
njp.32101076045705	Can I tell him that, when the engagement was made for me by my father, with my own consent? njp.32101076045705 Can you talk to me, without feeling frightened, and without forgetting that I am a friend?"
njp.32101076045705	Come, Nina,he said;"we remember each other, do n't we?"
njp.32101076045705	Could I speak to you for a moment, miss?
njp.32101076045705	Did she see you?
njp.32101076045705	Did the forlorn woman whom you met in the high road seem young?
njp.32101076045705	Did you ask me why Miss Fairlie was neither well nor happy this morning?
njp.32101076045705	Did you hear anybody calling after us?
njp.32101076045705	Did you hear me?
njp.32101076045705	Did you mention names? njp.32101076045705 Do n't you remember my telling you, when we last met, that I was going to Cumberland?
njp.32101076045705	Do you know many people in London?
njp.32101076045705	Do you mean to write to him again?
njp.32101076045705	Do you mind my closing my eyes while you speak? njp.32101076045705 Do you see any carriage I can get?
njp.32101076045705	Do you see anything improbable, or contradictory, in his explanation?
njp.32101076045705	Do you think I would remain an instant in the company of any man whom I suspected of such base- ness as that?
njp.32101076045705	Does Miss Fairlie know of that wish?
njp.32101076045705	Even a cough that he is troubled with is mentioned, if I remember right?
njp.32101076045705	Father? njp.32101076045705 Had you no father or mother to take care of you?"
njp.32101076045705	Has Mr. Fairlie given you a satisfactory answer?
njp.32101076045705	Have I deserved that you should write to me?
njp.32101076045705	Have you any leisure time to spare,she asked,"before you begin to work in your own room?"
njp.32101076045705	Have you been long back from Cumberland?
njp.32101076045705	Have you said all you wanted to Laura?
njp.32101076045705	Have you seen a woman pass this way?
njp.32101076045705	How can I say I do, after the proof he has offered me of the truth of it? njp.32101076045705 How can that possibly be?"
njp.32101076045705	How dare you frighten a poor helpless woman like that?
njp.32101076045705	How did you come here?
njp.32101076045705	How do you know that?
njp.32101076045705	How do you know?
njp.32101076045705	How long?
njp.32101076045705	I am afraid the baronet, whose name you are unwilling to mention to me, has done you some grievous wrong? njp.32101076045705 I am afraid you have serious reason to complain of some man of rank and title?"
njp.32101076045705	I hope it has secured me your entire confidence in what I have still to say?
njp.32101076045705	I suppose no whispers have ever been heard against his character?
njp.32101076045705	I suppose you had your reasons, Mr. Hartright, for concealing that suspicion from me till this mo- ment?
njp.32101076045705	If the familiar little man treats my mother in that way, how will he treat me?
njp.32101076045705	Is Mrs. Clements an old friend of yours? njp.32101076045705 Is it absolutely necessary to speak of my marriage engagement?"
njp.32101076045705	Is that letter for me?
njp.32101076045705	Is that the road to London?
njp.32101076045705	Is there any doubt in your mind, now, Miss Hal- combe?
njp.32101076045705	Knight, or Baronet?
njp.32101076045705	Many— she came to a full stop, and looked me searchingly in the face —"many men of the rank of Baronet?"
njp.32101076045705	May I trust you?
njp.32101076045705	May I venture to inquire why you express that hope?
njp.32101076045705	Mr. Hartright was employed at Limmeridge as a drawing- master, I believe? njp.32101076045705 Mr. Hartright,"she said,"will you come here for a minute?
njp.32101076045705	One of them was taken faint and ill, I am told? njp.32101076045705 Said?"
njp.32101076045705	Shall I play some of those little melodies of Mozart's, which you used to like so much?
njp.32101076045705	She saw nobody from the house, then, except a certain Mr. Hartright, who accidentally met with her in the churchyard here?
njp.32101076045705	Surely you will acknowledge that your model pupil is found at last? njp.32101076045705 Surely, you re- member me?"
njp.32101076045705	Was he particularly nervous this morning? njp.32101076045705 Was the Asylum far from where you met me?
njp.32101076045705	Well, but which will you have, to- day? njp.32101076045705 Well,"said Mr. Gilmore,"what have you found out?"
njp.32101076045705	What has he done to you?
njp.32101076045705	What is it, my dear?
njp.32101076045705	What is it?
njp.32101076045705	What is it?
njp.32101076045705	What is that opposite Mr. Hartright? njp.32101076045705 What is there to consider about?
njp.32101076045705	What misfortune?
njp.32101076045705	What other misfortune could there be?
njp.32101076045705	What person?
njp.32101076045705	What shall I see in my dreams to- night?
njp.32101076045705	What sort of woman, sir?
njp.32101076045705	What then, Laura?
njp.32101076045705	What woman?
njp.32101076045705	Where should I go, if not here?
njp.32101076045705	Which way did she go?
njp.32101076045705	Who are you?
njp.32101076045705	Who can Laura's correspondent be? njp.32101076045705 Who cares for his causes of complaint?
njp.32101076045705	Who showed it to you?
njp.32101076045705	Why do n't you help me?
njp.32101076045705	Why do you ask?
njp.32101076045705	Why does it encourage you?
njp.32101076045705	Why, Wal- ter, what is the matter with you?
njp.32101076045705	Why?
njp.32101076045705	Will you promise?
njp.32101076045705	Will you tell me his name?
njp.32101076045705	Wo n't you take your old place?
njp.32101076045705	Would he really, Gilmore?
njp.32101076045705	You are living in the village, then?
njp.32101076045705	You do n't suspect me of doing anything wrong, do you? njp.32101076045705 You do n't think I ought to be back in the Asylum, do you?"
njp.32101076045705	You do n't think the worse of me because I have met with an accident?
njp.32101076045705	You foolish boy,she said,"why do n't you beg Mr. Dempster's pardon, and hold your tongue about the ghost?"
njp.32101076045705	You found, of course, that they had heard no- thing?
njp.32101076045705	You had a letter from him?
njp.32101076045705	You inquired at the railway?
njp.32101076045705	You insist on my posting this letter, Sir Percival?
njp.32101076045705	You maintain your note on the clause, then, to the letter?
njp.32101076045705	You mean some other member of the family besides Miss Halcombe?
njp.32101076045705	You remember me?
njp.32101076045705	You said, I think, that she denied belonging to this place?
njp.32101076045705	You very best of good old friends,said Mr. Fairlie, leaning back lazily before he could look at me,"are you quite well?
njp.32101076045705	You went to Carlisle, of course, when you heard that?
njp.32101076045705	You were there yesterday evening, I hear; and you found visitors at the house?
njp.32101076045705	Young enough to be two or three- and- twenty?
njp.32101076045705	Your sisters told you the news at Todd's Corner, I suppose?
njp.32101076045705	'Bank- notel'says Papa, in a great surprise,'who talked of bank- note?
njp.32101076045705	'Letters?'
njp.32101076045705	'Respectable?'
njp.32101076045705	'Stop, stop,'says Papa,'is he a foreigner, or an Englishman?'
njp.32101076045705	179 about the gossip which was going on in the room when she turned faint?"
njp.32101076045705	217"If any doubts still trouble you,"I said,"why not mention them to me at once?
njp.32101076045705	37"Is the turnpike man looking out?"
njp.32101076045705	A cutlet?"
njp.32101076045705	A thousand pardons, Mr. Hartright; servants are such asses, are they not?
njp.32101076045705	And what does the best of them give us in return?
njp.32101076045705	And what was it like?"
njp.32101076045705	And yet, in his unhappy position, how can I expect him, or wish him, to remain at home?
njp.32101076045705	And you really can manage the drawings?
njp.32101076045705	And — what next?
njp.32101076045705	And — what next?
njp.32101076045705	Any one you knew?"
njp.32101076045705	Are we, I wonder, quite such genuine boys and girls now as our seniors were, in their time?
njp.32101076045705	Are you to break your heart to set his mind at ease?
njp.32101076045705	Are you wondering what you will have for breakfast?
njp.32101076045705	Boiled chicken, is it not?
njp.32101076045705	But could you contrive to speak in a lower key?
njp.32101076045705	But what other way is possible, now that the time is drawing so near?
njp.32101076045705	Can I get a fly, or a carriage of any kind?
njp.32101076045705	Can there be better testimony in his favour, Mr. Gilmore, than the testimony of the woman's mother?"
njp.32101076045705	Can you reconcile yourself to our quiet, regular life?
njp.32101076045705	Can you under- take them?"
njp.32101076045705	Can your friend produce testimonials — letters that speak to his character?'
njp.32101076045705	Could the third person who was fast approaching us, at such a time and under such circumstances, be Miss Fairlie?
njp.32101076045705	Curious, is it not?
njp.32101076045705	Did Anne Catherick see Miss Fairlie?"
njp.32101076045705	Did I thank you at the time?
njp.32101076045705	Did I think he looked as if he wanted teasing?
njp.32101076045705	Did you find the friend?"
njp.32101076045705	Did you tell them that Sir Percival Glyde was expected on Monday?"
njp.32101076045705	Do n't you see me holding the tablettes?
njp.32101076045705	Do tell me — what do you think of the drawings?
njp.32101076045705	Do you know the farm?
njp.32101076045705	Do you like coins?
njp.32101076045705	Do you like etchings?
njp.32101076045705	Do you mind putting this tray of coins back in the cabinet, and giving me the next one to it?
njp.32101076045705	Do you mind touching the bell?
njp.32101076045705	Do you see any objection to accompanying me to the farm- house to- morrow?"
njp.32101076045705	Do you suppose I want to hold them?
njp.32101076045705	Do youthink it safe, Mr. Hartright?
njp.32101076045705	Does my poor portrait of her, my fond, patient labour of long and happy days, show me these things?
njp.32101076045705	Does she wear white now, as she used when she was a girl?"
njp.32101076045705	Fairlie?"
njp.32101076045705	Father?
njp.32101076045705	G3 pecuniary arrangements between us — do tell me — are they satisfactory?"
njp.32101076045705	Gilmore?"
njp.32101076045705	Gilmore?"
njp.32101076045705	Good shooting?
njp.32101076045705	Ha?
njp.32101076045705	Had I really left, little more than an hour since, the quiet, decent, conventionally- domestic atmosphere of my mother's cottage?
njp.32101076045705	Had she been traced and captured by the men in the chaise?
njp.32101076045705	Had the forlorn creature come to any harm?
njp.32101076045705	Hartright?"
njp.32101076045705	Hartright?"
njp.32101076045705	Hartright?"
njp.32101076045705	Have I dreamt of the right man?
njp.32101076045705	Have you been patient so far?
njp.32101076045705	Have you got the blind up?
njp.32101076045705	Have you heard from your client yet?"
njp.32101076045705	Have you heard from yours?"
njp.32101076045705	Have you known her a long time?"
njp.32101076045705	Have you not been complaining of your health, and have you not been longing for what you call a smack of the country breeze?
njp.32101076045705	Have you seen your studio?
njp.32101076045705	He walked to the fireplace, and warmed him- self, humming the fag end of a tune in a rich convivial bass voice,"What does your side say?"
njp.32101076045705	How can I describe her?
njp.32101076045705	How can I separate her from my own sensations, and from all that has happened in the later time?
njp.32101076045705	How can you expect four women to dine together alone every day, and not quarrel?
njp.32101076045705	How do they know?
njp.32101076045705	How much share have the attractions of Nature ever had in the pleasurable or painful interests and emotions of our- selves or our friends?
njp.32101076045705	I am sure you will be kind enough to understand that, before I go any farther?"
njp.32101076045705	I hope you are not unjust enough to let that infamous letter influence you?"
njp.32101076045705	I suppose nothing was said or done to frighten her?
njp.32101076045705	I suppose we must come to it sooner or later — and why not sooner?"
njp.32101076045705	I thought to myself, as I put out the candle;"the woman in white?
njp.32101076045705	I trace these lines, self- distrustfully, with the shadows of after- events darkening the very paper I write on; and still I say, what could I do?
njp.32101076045705	If he tells it without these, is he doing a fellow- labourer in another form of Art, the justice which writers owe to one another?
njp.32101076045705	If the critic tells the story with these, can he do it in his allotted page, or column, as the case may be?
njp.32101076045705	If the discovery of this makes me uneasy, what would it make her?
njp.32101076045705	In a sense which might explain her motive in writing the anonymous letter?
njp.32101076045705	In what sense was she using that word?
njp.32101076045705	Is Miss Fairlie well and happy?
njp.32101076045705	Is four golden guineas a week nothing?
njp.32101076045705	Is he a member of one of the Water- Colour Societies?"
njp.32101076045705	Is he the cause of your being out here at this strange time of night?"
njp.32101076045705	Is it an indiscretion, on my part, to ask if you have decided yet on a course of proceeding?"
njp.32101076045705	Is it hanging about his mind, too?
njp.32101076045705	Is it not so?
njp.32101076045705	Is it safe on the chair?
njp.32101076045705	Is it too late?
njp.32101076045705	Is there any- thing wrong in that?
njp.32101076045705	Is there anything else to settle?
njp.32101076045705	Is there no doubt in your own mind that the person who confined her in the Asylum was Sir PercivalGlyde?"
njp.32101076045705	Is there no possibility of communicating with him earlier?
njp.32101076045705	Is this the sad end to all that sad story?
njp.32101076045705	It began abruptly, with- out any preliminary form of address, as follows:"Do you believe in dreams?
njp.32101076045705	It seems to me to be not only the letter of a woman, but of a woman whose mind must be""Deranged?"
njp.32101076045705	It was very kind, was it not?
njp.32101076045705	Kind words, were they not?
njp.32101076045705	Lakes?
njp.32101076045705	May I hear it?"
njp.32101076045705	May I say, at parting, that it is the dear object of my hopes too?"
njp.32101076045705	Miss Halcombe has promised to trust me — will you promise, too?"
njp.32101076045705	Must we give up all idea of making any further in- quiries, and wait to place the thing in Mr. Gilmore's hands, to- morrow?"
njp.32101076045705	My hands are bound — don't you see, my dear sir? — my hands are bound."
njp.32101076045705	Of what nature could it be?
njp.32101076045705	Perhaps his temper is irritable at times?
njp.32101076045705	Perhaps, you have not forgot- ten, either, what I said when I consented to our engagement?
njp.32101076045705	Pesca is long- winded to- night?'"
njp.32101076045705	Recommend him by the post to- night, and send him off, bag and baggage( English phrase again — ha?
njp.32101076045705	Secondly, if the share I took in the matter was such as to merit the expression of her gratitude towards myself?
njp.32101076045705	Shall I ascertain, at once, if the girl is down stairs?"
njp.32101076045705	Shall I confess it, Mr. Hartright?
njp.32101076045705	Shall Mr. Hartright give you some chicken?
njp.32101076045705	Shall we ring for Louis again?"
njp.32101076045705	Shall we shake hands?
njp.32101076045705	She looked anxiously up and down the road; shifted her bag again from one hand to the other; repeated the words,"Will you promise?"
njp.32101076045705	She paused; twisted the cloth in her hands, backwards and forwards; and whispered to herself,"What is it he said?"
njp.32101076045705	Sir Percival Glyde's name is not men- tioned, I know — but does that description at all re- semble him?"
njp.32101076045705	Steal after me, and touch me?
njp.32101076045705	Suppose I begin with myself, so as to get done with that part of the subject as soon as possible?
njp.32101076045705	Suppose you have a little of both?
njp.32101076045705	Supposing you were to make a will, when you come of age, who would you like the money to go to?"
njp.32101076045705	Surely a mild, a compliant, an unutterably tranquil and harmless old lady?
njp.32101076045705	Surely it would be a cruel candour to tell Laura this, without a pressing and a positive necessity for it?
njp.32101076045705	Surely nothing can be wrong that I do for Mrs. Fairlie's sake?"
njp.32101076045705	Surely you have not forgotten that?"
njp.32101076045705	Surely, Mr. Gilmore, ignorant as he is of Laura's secret, was not to blame for feeling surprised that she should repent of her marriage engagement?
njp.32101076045705	Tell me plainly, have you any reason to distrust Sir Percival Glyde?"
njp.32101076045705	The obstinate folly of his story is beyond all belief; and you might lead him into ignorantly""Ignorantly, what?"
njp.32101076045705	Then why not relieve me of the tablettes without being told?
njp.32101076045705	Then why tease him?
njp.32101076045705	Then will you be so very kind as to look into the garden and make quite sure?"
njp.32101076045705	There is only one thing I do n't like about them, and do n't like about Mrs. Clements""What is it?"
njp.32101076045705	These two circumstances are surely sufficient to have suggested to the boy himself the answer which has so naturally shocked you?"
njp.32101076045705	Vesey?"
njp.32101076045705	Volumes of letters and portfolios of testimonials, if you like?'
njp.32101076045705	Was I Walter Hartright?
njp.32101076045705	Was the view that I had seen, while listening to those words, the view that I saw now, standing on the hill- top by myself?
njp.32101076045705	Was there no excuse for me?
njp.32101076045705	Was this the well- known, uneventful road, where holiday people strolled on Sundays?
njp.32101076045705	Well,"she continued, turning to the boy,"and whose ghost was it?"
njp.32101076045705	What am I to tell you about Mr. Fairlie?
njp.32101076045705	What answer could I make?
njp.32101076045705	What could I do?
njp.32101076045705	What did it mean?
njp.32101076045705	What did you say the place was called?"
njp.32101076045705	What do you think of the programme?
njp.32101076045705	What does it all mean?
njp.32101076045705	What excuse can she possibly have for changing her mind about a man whom she had virtually accepted for her husband more than two years ago?"
njp.32101076045705	What further service was required of me by any one?
njp.32101076045705	What had I done?
njp.32101076045705	What had become of her now?
njp.32101076045705	What has really happened?"
njp.32101076045705	What if those wild accusations rested on a foundation of truth?
njp.32101076045705	What is the least you will take?"
njp.32101076045705	What objection can she urge against him after that?
njp.32101076045705	What style?"
njp.32101076045705	Where did you get this?"
njp.32101076045705	Where had she stopped the cab?
njp.32101076045705	Who else is left to you?
njp.32101076045705	Who had begun the cleansing of the marble, and who had left it unfinished?
njp.32101076045705	Who had done that wrong?
njp.32101076045705	Why not call to me?
njp.32101076045705	Why not end it, there and then?
njp.32101076045705	Why not to- day?"
njp.32101076045705	Why should I prolong the hard trial of saying farewell by one unnecessary minute?
njp.32101076045705	Why was this easiest, simplest work of self- culture always too much for me?
njp.32101076045705	Why?
njp.32101076045705	Will it do?"
njp.32101076045705	Will the marriage take place soon?
njp.32101076045705	Will you excuse my obstinacy if I still venture to press it?"
njp.32101076045705	Will you meet her in the garden at Limmeridge House?"
njp.32101076045705	Will you promise?"
njp.32101076045705	Will you see her to- morrow at the farm?
njp.32101076045705	Would other men have remembered that in my place?
njp.32101076045705	Would you like it all to go to Miss Halcombe?"
njp.32101076045705	Yes?
njp.32101076045705	Yes?
njp.32101076045705	Yes?
njp.32101076045705	Yes?"
njp.32101076045705	You all know where that is?
njp.32101076045705	You draw and paint, I hear, Mr. Hartright?
njp.32101076045705	You know that he saw Mr. Fairlie yesterday, and that he afterwards went out with me?"
njp.32101076045705	You saw me send the gardener on to the house, with a letter addressed, in a strange handwriting, to Miss Fairlie?"
njp.32101076045705	You understand now, Mr. Hartright, why I speak of waiting to take legal advice until to- morrow?
njp.32101076045705	You were not talking of anything very terrible were you?"
njp.32101076045705	You will pardon an invalid?
njp.32101076045705	answer, anxiously repeated her former inquiry:"You do n't think I ought to be taken back, do you?"
njp.32101076045705	could be proved before the fatal words of consent were spoken, and the marriage- settlement was drawn?
njp.32101076045705	every man's duty, mercifully to control?
njp.32101076045705	glass again?
njp.32101076045705	he went on;"now pray tell me — what does your side say?"
njp.32101076045705	in her turn, associated with Anne Catherick, since the night when I had discovered the ominous likeness between them?
njp.32101076045705	me, as well as a surprise, to see you here?
njp.32101076045705	or are you surprised at my care- less way of talking?
njp.32101076045705	or do you mean to be restless, and secretly thirst for change and adventure, in the humdrum atmosphere of Limmeridge House?"
njp.32101076045705	or ought I to wait, and apply to Mr. Fairlie's legal adviser to- morrow?
njp.32101076045705	or shall I give you some outlet?"
njp.32101076045705	or the unknown inhabitants of this Cumberland mansion?"
njp.32101076045705	ought I, at once, to take such steps as I can to dis- cover the writer of the letter?
njp.32101076045705	pains not to let the doors bang, and not to drop the port- folio?
njp.32101076045705	when Sir Percival spoke to you yesterday, he specu- lated on such a result as you have just mentioned?"
njp.32101076045705	you saw it yesterday evening, in the twilight?
njp.32101076045705	you will never lower yourself by making a confession to him?"
nyp.33433074940473	After that I will take the matter in hand myself. ” “ At what hour do you wish me to start for Liverpool, sir? ” asked Belton.
nyp.33433074940473	Ah, your eyes light up; you have heard of it? ” “ I have, ” she answered, her voice trembling with excitement.
nyp.33433074940473	And as to yourself? ” “ I shall join you at the house at ten o'clock, or thereabouts.
nyp.33433074940473	And why? ” “ For the simple reason that he has taken No.
nyp.33433074940473	Come, for the sake of — well, you know for the sake of what — will you let me have the money?
nyp.33433074940473	Do you agree? ” “ With pleasure.
nyp.33433074940473	Do you understand P ’ ’ “ Perfectly, sir? ” “ Very good.
nyp.33433074940473	Have n't you seen the afternoon's paper?
nyp.33433074940473	Is the van prepared? ” “ It is quite ready, sir. ” “ All the furniture arranged as I directed? ” “ It is exactly as you wished, sir.
nyp.33433074940473	Is the van prepared? ” “ It is quite ready, sir. ” “ All the furniture arranged as I directed? ” “ It is exactly as you wished, sir.
nyp.33433074940473	Mr. Klimo, you do n't think the police will take my father? ” “ Not if you implicitly obey my instructions, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940473	Must you really go?
nyp.33433074940473	Now what do you say to coming along to the Rooms with me to see how our horses stand in the market?
nyp.33433074940473	Now what have ye got to say for yourself? ” “ I do n't know that I've got anything to say, ” replied the boy.
nyp.33433074940473	Now where is my Babuji? ” Almost at the same instant a figure appeared from the shadow of the building and approached him.
nyp.33433074940473	Oh, Mr. Klimo, you promised to help me, can you not do so?
nyp.33433074940473	Otherwise why should she have been so frightened by what might have been simply innocent business messages in cypher?
nyp.33433074940473	Pray how long have you been in Calcutta? ” “ I arrived last night, ” he answered, “ and I leave to- morrow morning for Burma.
nyp.33433074940473	Pray, what does it mean? ” His lordship laughed.
nyp.33433074940473	The problem of how we are to get hold of them would seem rather a hard nut to crack, would it not?"
nyp.33433074940473	The question for my consideration is, can it be done?
nyp.33433074940473	There will be wealth untold there, to be had for the mere gathering in; and who is so well able to gather it as I?
nyp.33433074940473	What better occasion could the enemies of law and order desire for striking a blow at the Government and society in general P What was he to do?
nyp.33433074940473	What do you do?
nyp.33433074940473	What do you think of that? ”\** THE WEDDING GUEST 2I5 “ Surely you must be joking, ” said Carne incredulously.

nyp.33433074940473	What is to be done?
nyp.33433074940473	What's the result?
nyp.33433074940473	Why no answer?
nyp.33433074940473	Why should you run such risk?
nyp.33433074940473	You are not going to tell me that you have abandoned your yachting trip and are going to be married? ” “ You need have no fear on that score.
nyp.33433074940473	You do n't say so? ” “ But I do.
nyp.33433074940473	You'll do as I wish now, I suppose? ” “ I ’ll do it, ” said the lad sullenly, as he crumpled the bank- note up and put it in his pocket.
nyp.33433074940473	“ And how long have you been married? ” “ Two years, ” answered the girl.
nyp.33433074940473	“ And now that you have seen my property, what do you think of it? ” asked the Duchess as she watched her visitor's face.
nyp.33433074940473	“ And the security? ” He leant towards her and whispered in her Car.
nyp.33433074940473	“ But surely you have not brought all these specimens together yourself?"
nyp.33433074940473	“ But what about Merford, sir, and the attempt upon Knight of Malta? ” “ I ’ll see about that on Monday.
nyp.33433074940473	“ But when did it happen?
nyp.33433074940473	“ Have I not promised to do my best for you?
nyp.33433074940473	“ Have ye thought over the matter? ” he asked, seeing that the men waited for him to speak.
nyp.33433074940473	“ How much do you want? ” “ The value of the necklace, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940473	“ Must you be off?
nyp.33433074940473	“ Well, who'd ha ’ thought of seeing you here of all places?
nyp.33433074940473	“ What did I tell you yesterday? ” he re- marked.
nyp.33433074940473	“ What did I tell you, sir? ” said Bent, with a smile of satisfaction upon his face.
nyp.33433074940473	“ What is the matter? ” he asked feebly.
nyp.33433074940473	“ What on earth's to be done? ” said the Earl, looking at his companion in dismay.
nyp.33433074940473	“ What will you do? ” inquired Lady Caro- line.
nyp.33433074940473	“ Where are my men concealed? ” “ In the room at the end of that passage, ” was the girl's reply.
nyp.33433074940473	“ Where's the paper? ” Carne handed them a formidable- looking document, and they read it in turn with osten- tatious care.
nyp.33433074940473	“ Why cry, my dear young lady? ” said Klimo.
nyp.33433074940473	“ You could not have stayed very long with our friend? ” “ I left him soon after you did, sir, ” said Belton.
njp.32101066120864	Aye man, dominie, he's an infernal ass, is he noat? ” they cried, and pressed for his judgment. njp.32101066120864 Aye, man, ” said Armstrong, “ would you face up to a professor? ” “ Would n't I?
njp.32101066120864	Aye, man, ” said Armstrong, “ would you face up to a professor? ” “ Would n't I? njp.32101066120864 Is he a wee fou?
njp.32101066120864	'Is that so?'
njp.32101066120864	'What d’ye want wi'a heavy- heided poker?'
njp.32101066120864	'“ I do n't see why I should be blamed for it all. ” “ Oh, you do n't see why you should be had up, indeed?

njp.32101066120864	Am I to throw away gude money on you for this to be the end o't? ” “ Dinna be hard on him, John, ” pleaded the baker.
njp.32101066120864	And he would express himself as[ 212] CHAPTER TWENTY being excellently well pleased with your theme?
njp.32101066120864	And how are ye tummin on? ” “ Oh, I'm all right, Deacon, ” said Gourlay with a silly laugh.
njp.32101066120864	And there's a gey bit ground at the back, too, when a body comes to think o't. ” “ What line ’s he meaning to purshoo?
njp.32101066120864	And what had Mr. Burns to say on the subject?
njp.32101066120864	And who was he, I should like to know?
njp.32101066120864	And, John dear, ” she pleaded, “ if there's nothing left for us, you'll try to work for Janet and me, will ye no?
njp.32101066120864	Aye, it was that I was thinking of though it doesna matter much now.-Eh, Jenny?
njp.32101066120864	But his mind was at a stick; how could he explain — to her?
njp.32101066120864	But how does't apply to young Gourlay in particular, Thomas?
njp.32101066120864	But how in par- ticular, Mr. Brodie?
njp.32101066120864	But what boots it to tell of all his schemes?
njp.32101066120864	But what can a body ettle?
njp.32101066120864	But who is it though?
njp.32101066120864	But you're a rising man, Mr. Wilson, and I think that you and me might work thegither to our own ad- vantage, do n't ye see?
njp.32101066120864	Come on now — who was it?"
njp.32101066120864	Curse them, were they speaking of him?
njp.32101066120864	Damn her, why did n't she get out of the way, why did she stand there in her dirt and ask silly questions?
njp.32101066120864	Did Armstrong despise him?
njp.32101066120864	Did he throw the tumbler at his mother? ” “ Lord, it's true! ” said Sandy Toddle.
njp.32101066120864	Do n't ye hear? ” They did not hear, it seemed.
njp.32101066120864	Do n't ye see John's deid?
njp.32101066120864	Do n't ye see what it means?
njp.32101066120864	Does it na, dominie? ” But Bleach- the- boys had said enough.
njp.32101066120864	Does the house we live in, the House with the Green Shutters, not belong to us ainy more?
njp.32101066120864	D’ye know how he's doing? ” Young Gourlay knew nothing of the new Professor of Exegesis, but he answered, “ Very well, I believe,"at a venture.
njp.32101066120864	D’ye mind yon nicht langsyne when your faither came in wi'a terrible look in his e'en, and struck me in the breist?
njp.32101066120864	Eh, Jenny? ” he enquired, and tugged her pigtail, smiling down at her in grim fondness.
njp.32101066120864	Eh, dear?
njp.32101066120864	Eh?
njp.32101066120864	Eh? ” Soft as his “ Eh ” was in utterance, it was insinua- ting, pursuing; it had to be answered.
njp.32101066120864	Eh? ” There was no answer.
njp.32101066120864	Eh? ” “ Freedom and whiskey gang thegither, Tak aff your dram,""stammered John.
njp.32101066120864	Eh? ” “ Oh, she was about when I wanted the milk, and she volunteered to gang.
njp.32101066120864	Eh? ” “ Yes, ” said John.
njp.32101066120864	Even as they shook his hand the mean ones would think to themselves: “ What does he mean by this, now?
njp.32101066120864	For it's the partners that decide the estimates sent in, d’ye see?
njp.32101066120864	For what was Wilson spiering for?
njp.32101066120864	Given those qualities, in those circumstances, what else could have happened?
njp.32101066120864	Gourlay?"
njp.32101066120864	Ha, ha, Mr. Gourlay, where are you going to?"
njp.32101066120864	Has ainybody been meddling ye? ”[ 62] CHAPTER EIGHT “ It was Swipey Broon, ” he said.
njp.32101066120864	Have ye been studying hard? ” “ Yes, ” lied John.

njp.32101066120864	Have you heard the snarl with which a wild beast arrests the escaping prey which it has just let go in enjoying cruelty?
njp.32101066120864	He smiled to himself as he listened to the clinking glass, and, “ By Jove, ” said he, “ a mother's a fine thing! ” “ Where's Janet?
njp.32101066120864	He turned with a scowl on Wil- son, and, “ What the devil are you sniggering at? ” he growled.
njp.32101066120864	He turned with his best glower on the man who was approaching; more of the “ Wha- the- bleezes- are- you?
njp.32101066120864	He was a lauchable dirt, that. ” “ What was his name? ” said Sandy Toddle.
njp.32101066120864	He would soon have more horses than one on the road — why should n't they carry swatches of cloth as well as gro- ceries?
njp.32101066120864	He'll be round the corner directly. ” “ De- ar me, is he so bad as that? ” said the ex- Prov- ost, raising his hands in solemn reprobation.
njp.32101066120864	He'll pages?"
njp.32101066120864	Heavens, did ye hear him talking?
njp.32101066120864	How could he explain his forebodings to a rock of a man like his father?
njp.32101066120864	How was he to get to Skeighan?
njp.32101066120864	How's that na? ” To be the centre of interest and the object of gra- cious condescension was balm to the wounded feelings of Gilmour.
njp.32101066120864	How, then, should he assert his superiority and hold his own?
njp.32101066120864	I declare I doan't know what this world's coming to! ” “ Man, Provost, ” said Brodie,"d'ye tell me tha- at?
njp.32101066120864	I have done nothing to you, have I? ” Brodie stared at him across his suspended whiskey- glass, an easy and assured contempt curling his lip.
njp.32101066120864	I hit him a thud in the ear — as wha wadna?
njp.32101066120864	I hope you didna pay him? ”.
njp.32101066120864	I just sat down wi'the book for a little, till John should come till his breakfast! ” “ So? ” said Gourlay.
njp.32101066120864	I saw his breist give the great heave. ” “ Were ye no sorry? ” cried the baker.
njp.32101066120864	I should be working for my degree to- night, but I suppose I can get it easy enough when the time comes. ” “ What did I tell ye?
njp.32101066120864	I was thinking it would need stirring up a bit. ” “ Oh, ye was thinking that, was ye?
njp.32101066120864	I wonder it never occurred to me before. ” “ Are ye thinking ye have missed a gude thing? ” grinned the Deacon.
njp.32101066120864	I'm very anx- ious to see Gourlay about yon matter we were speaking of, doan't ye understa- and?
njp.32101066120864	Is he after some dam- sel o'the gill- stoup? ”.
njp.32101066120864	Is there a possibeelity for me in't? ” “ Oh, there might, ” nodded Gibson, playing his man for a while.
njp.32101066120864	Is there ainything the matter with my boy? ” The hard eye surveyed her a while in grim contempt of her weakness.
njp.32101066120864	Is there ainything the matter[ 259] THE HOUSE WITH THE GREEN SHUTTERS Tange that is it? ” he cried, about sending to te what with my boy?

njp.32101066120864	It was Doctor Dandy brocht her hame, for Munn was deid by that time, and Dandy had his place. ” “ What will Gourlay be going to make of him?"
njp.32101066120864	It was all “ How are ye the day, Templand- muir? ” and “ How d’ye doo- oo, Mr.
njp.32101066120864	It was her was the cause o't. ” “ D’ye tell me that, John?
njp.32101066120864	Janet, lassie, what was it I was doing? ” Her energy, and its frustration, had the same reason.

njp.32101066120864	Man, do n't ye see the chance you're neg- lecting?
njp.32101066120864	Man, have ye no spunk?
njp.32101066120864	Nicht and day they follow me a’where; nicht and day. ” “ Are they following ye yet, John?"
njp.32101066120864	Oom? ” “ I hardly see what you're driving at, ” said Wilson.
njp.32101066120864	Or is Gillespie fiddling Highland tunes, by Jing, with his elbow going it mer- rily?
njp.32101066120864	Shall I run and bring the neebours? ” “ The neebours! ” said Mrs. Gourlay, rousing herself wildly.
njp.32101066120864	Tell me now, ” he went on, “ have ye heard ainything of the new Professor of Exe- gesis?
njp.32101066120864	Then he shut them in terror, for why did he look?
njp.32101066120864	Then we'll force him to fulfill his bargain and cart for us at six! ” “ If he refuses?
njp.32101066120864	There- after when an unsuccessful candidate returned to his home, he was sure to be asked very pointedly, “ Who won the Raeburn the year?
njp.32101066120864	They had to do mathematics — what could he do wi'thae whigmaleeries?
njp.32101066120864	They had to recite Shakespeare in public — how could he stand up and spout, before a whole jing- bang o'them?
njp.32101066120864	Toddling Johnnie,'was it noat? ” Wilson coloured.
njp.32101066120864	Tozer, what do you think? ” “ I never was engaged on a big subject, ” sniffed Tozer.
njp.32101066120864	Was he to go out among strangers whom he feared?
njp.32101066120864	Was his son's disgrace known in Barbie already?
njp.32101066120864	Was it ainything par- ticular? ” She looked at Gibson with a speculation in her eyes that almost verged on hostility.
njp.32101066120864	Was it this he was wasting his drink for?
njp.32101066120864	We can not keep our minds off them—“Why do they do it?
njp.32101066120864	Weel, I'm no saying but it's time. ” “ Where's Janet? ” he demanded, stamping his boots once more, now he had them laced.
njp.32101066120864	Were the eyes that had burned his brain still glaring above him?
njp.32101066120864	Wh- wh- whan was I ever suspeecious?
njp.32101066120864	Wha ’s he for a Gou- die?
njp.32101066120864	What a man he is when the paw- sion grups him! ” “ Thplendid, d’ye ca't?"
njp.32101066120864	What am I to do wi'ye, now?
njp.32101066120864	What boy of sense would read about Turpin in a mere respectable parlour?
njp.32101066120864	What cockerel was this crowing?
njp.32101066120864	What could he be up to?
njp.32101066120864	What did Toddling Johnny's son know about business?
njp.32101066120864	What did he mean?
njp.32101066120864	What did he say of it, may I venture to enquire? ” Beneath the pressure of his father's presence young Gourlay did not dare to splurge.
njp.32101066120864	What do ye need so many wee clouts for? ” She gasped and started.
njp.32101066120864	What does it mean? ” “ I do n't ken, ” whispered Janet with big eyes.
njp.32101066120864	What for, dear?
njp.32101066120864	What had he got to whistle about?
njp.32101066120864	What harm will it do her to run for a drop milk?"
njp.32101066120864	What has it all got to do with me?
njp.32101066120864	What have we to do with the neebours?
njp.32101066120864	What have you been doing that you didna see't? ” They went to the window.
njp.32101066120864	What have you seen, man?
njp.32101066120864	What is it?"
njp.32101066120864	What right has he to set up his pipe?
njp.32101066120864	What shall we do?
njp.32101066120864	What was he going to do?
njp.32101066120864	What was he spiering for “ himsell ” for?
njp.32101066120864	What was the world coming to?
njp.32101066120864	What would become of him, if the Gourlays were threatened with disaster?
njp.32101066120864	What'll he be doing out on the street at this hour of the day?
njp.32101066120864	What's Loranogie looking at me like that for?

njp.32101066120864	Who'll he be going to see in that airt?
njp.32101066120864	Why am I here?
njp.32101066120864	Why am I trudging through mud and misery to the University?
njp.32101066120864	Why could n't he let a blatter out of his thin mouth, and ha'done wi't? ” “ I'm waiting! ” said the lecturer.
njp.32101066120864	Why did he keep him here, when his head was aching so badly?
njp.32101066120864	Why did his father not break out on him at once?
njp.32101066120864	Why did the fool whistle?
njp.32101066120864	Will Gourlay be sending him off with some- thing to somebody?
njp.32101066120864	Will it be Templand- muir? ” “ Gosh, it canna be Templandmuir.
njp.32101066120864	Wilson pushed the flowerpot to one side, and “ You'll take a dram? ” he said blithely.
njp.32101066120864	Would he come into the garret?
njp.32101066120864	Ye ken what the folk ca ’ you? ” “ Oh, yes, ” said Gibson complacently.
njp.32101066120864	Ye're young, Jen- ny, and you learned the dressmaking- do ye think ye could sew, or something, to keep a bit garret owre my heid till I dee?
njp.32101066120864	You add contumacy to inso- lence, do you?
njp.32101066120864	You mean you'll give me an inkling in private of the other estimates sent in, and help to ar- range mine according? ” “ Na, ” said Gibson.
njp.32101066120864	You want to shield him.—You have been playing the truant, have'ee?
njp.32101066120864	You were born after him; and considered after him; he aye had the best o't!—I howp you are in good health? ” he sneered, turning to his son.
njp.32101066120864	You'll be meaning to have a grand holiday and lots o ’ fun- a dram now and then, eh?
njp.32101066120864	You'll come down to the meeting, will ye noat? ” He wanted to get Gourlay away from the House with the Green Shutters.
njp.32101066120864	You're going home the night, are ye not? ”"I was just on my road to the station when I met ye, ” said Weelyum.

njp.32101066120864	such a roguish and kindly smile, and, “ Tom, Tom,"said she, “ what are ye havering here for?
njp.32101066120864	what are ye after? ” bawled the boy.
njp.32101066120864	what need I be telling you that?
njp.32101066120864	— Whose yellow[ 36] CHAPTER FIVE doag's that?
njp.32101066120864	“ A doctor or a minister or wha- at? ” “ Deil a fear of that, ” said Brodie; “ he'll take him into the business!
njp.32101066120864	“ A wha- at?
njp.32101066120864	“ And what did he thay to that, na?
njp.32101066120864	“ And what did the Skeighan doctor say? ” She raised her large pale eyes to his with a strange look.
njp.32101066120864	“ Angry?
njp.32101066120864	“ Are they following ye yet? ” she asked with large eyes of sympathy and awe.
njp.32101066120864	“ Are ye ill, dear? ” “ I wanted to come hame, ” he said.
njp.32101066120864	“ Are ye sleeping, my pretty men? ” he said, softly.
njp.32101066120864	“ At the town foot, you say? ” he asked.
njp.32101066120864	“ At your novelles?
njp.32101066120864	“ Aye man,"he said quietly, “ and what may that be? ” “ I'll damned soon tell you what it is, ” said the Tem- plar.
njp.32101066120864	“ Aye, man, John, what did ye say till him?"
njp.32101066120864	“ Aye, man, Peter, and what of that? ” said Gourlay.
njp.32101066120864	“ But how though? ” Gibson met one question by another.
njp.32101066120864	“ But what on earth has Wilson ta'en auld Jamieson's house and barn for?
njp.32101066120864	“ But, man, have you tried the new whiskey at the Black Bull- I thaw ve in wi'Pate Wylie?
njp.32101066120864	“ D'ye ken Goudie, the Company's Manager?
njp.32101066120864	“ Damn ye, would ye threaten me?'
njp.32101066120864	“ Damn you, ” he screamed, “ leave me alone, will you?
njp.32101066120864	“ De- ar me, has he come to this? ” “ Yis, Pravast, ” hiccupped Brown,"he has!
njp.32101066120864	“ Did ever a body hear? ” she cried.
njp.32101066120864	“ Did faither never tell ye of the bond? ” “ He never telled me about anything,"cried Mrs. Gourlay with a sudden passion.
njp.32101066120864	“ Did ye hear? ” shouted Brodie, “ that Wilson is sending his son to the College at Embro'in October? ” “ D'ye tell me that?
njp.32101066120864	“ Did ye hear? ” shouted Brodie, “ that Wilson is sending his son to the College at Embro'in October? ” “ D'ye tell me that?
njp.32101066120864	“ Did ye hear? ” shouted Brodie, “ that Wilson is sending his son to the College at Embro'in October? ” “ D'ye tell me that?
njp.32101066120864	“ Did you see Gourlay's face?
njp.32101066120864	“ Did young Wilson get onything? ” came the eager cry.
njp.32101066120864	“ Do they know? ” was his con- stant thought: “ Have they heard the news?
njp.32101066120864	“ Do they know? ” was his con- stant thought: “ Have they heard the news?
njp.32101066120864	“ D’ye tell me that? ” said a strange voice.
njp.32101066120864	“ Eh? ” asked Gourlay softly, when John made no reply, “ I'm saying you ’re at the outset o’a great career, are ye not?
njp.32101066120864	“ Eh? ” asked Gourlay softly, when John made no reply, “ I'm saying you ’re at the outset o’a great career, are ye not?
njp.32101066120864	“ Eh? ” he asked vaguely.
njp.32101066120864	“ Eh? ” he said slowly, and the moan seemed to come from the midst of a vast intensity rather than a human being.
njp.32101066120864	“ Eh? ” said his wife vaguely, turning her eyes from the window.
njp.32101066120864	“ Eh? ” “ No, ” gulped the cowerer.
njp.32101066120864	“ Enough of what? ” blustered Brodie.
njp.32101066120864	“ For there are two kinds of abeelity, do n't ye understa- and?
njp.32101066120864	“ Gaffer?"
njp.32101066120864	“ Gosh, Mr. Gourlay! ” he cried protestingly;"have ye forgotten whatna day it is?
njp.32101066120864	“ Has the horse but the three legs? ” said Gourlay suavely.
njp.32101066120864	“ Have a wet? ” The whiskey had begun to warm him.
njp.32101066120864	“ Have you a kane o'cheese to sell, Irrendavie?"
njp.32101066120864	“ Have you a match, Robert? ” he asked very gra- ciously of Robin Gregg, one of the porters whom he knew.
njp.32101066120864	“ Have you heard the news? ” he murmured, with a watchful glimmer in his eyes.
njp.32101066120864	“ Have you seen your faither? ” he asked.
njp.32101066120864	“ He winna be hanged now! ” “ Mother! ” cried Janet, desperate before this apathy, “ what shall we do?
njp.32101066120864	“ He'll likely be a sad spec- tacle. ” “ Ith auld Gourlay on the thtreet the nicht?
njp.32101066120864	“ How are ye selling it the now? ” “ Tenpence a pound retail, but ninepence only if ye take a whole one.
njp.32101066120864	“ How are you doing at the school? ” said the Tem- plar.
njp.32101066120864	“ How can it be that, Provost?
njp.32101066120864	“ How did ye get it brought here, Mr. Gour- lay?"
njp.32101066120864	“ How do ye make that out? ” said Gourlay, still very quietly, lest he should alienate the quarry laird.
njp.32101066120864	“ How do you ken? ” cried the baker.
njp.32101066120864	“ How lang has he been here, baker? ” There was a curious regard between Gourlay and the baker.
njp.32101066120864	“ How much the stane are ye seeking fort? ” said Wilson.
njp.32101066120864	“ I hadna the baw- bees. ” “ When did ye get back? ” he asked.
njp.32101066120864	“ I wonder what you think you came to College for? ” said the lecturer.
njp.32101066120864	“ If I get the baker, or Tam Wylie, to stand security,"he asked, “ would ye not oblige me?
njp.32101066120864	“ Is it from Embro?
njp.32101066120864	“ Is it no by the clock? ” said his wife wearily.
njp.32101066120864	“ Is it private that ye wanted to see me on? ” “ Verta private,"said the sandy smiler.
njp.32101066120864	“ Is that your opinion?
njp.32101066120864	“ Is your brother in?
njp.32101066120864	“ Is your brother in? ” said he.
njp.32101066120864	“ Is't ocht in the business line?
njp.32101066120864	“ It beloangs to that fel- low Wilson, doan't ye know?
njp.32101066120864	“ It's not settled yet what road the line's to follow, and who knows but a trifle may turn the scale in our behalf?
njp.32101066120864	“ Ith it Dyohn? ” he cried.
njp.32101066120864	“ Ith that what ye call it up in Embro?
njp.32101066120864	“ Janet, what was it I was thinking of? ” “ I dinna ken, ” whispered Janet.
njp.32101066120864	“ Janet, ” she said appealingly;"what's this that has come on us?
njp.32101066120864	“ John, ” she panted, like a pitiful frightened child, “ what have I been doing?
njp.32101066120864	“ Johnny dear, what's wrong wi'ye? ” cried his mother, when he stole in through the scullery at last.
njp.32101066120864	“ Johnny, ” she cried in concern, “ what's the matter with your lip, dear?
njp.32101066120864	“ Look, look, did ye see yon?
njp.32101066120864	“ Man, have ye noathing for us to do? ” he asked plead- ingly.
njp.32101066120864	“ Mother, are we ever likely to be ill off? ” he asked his mother that evening.
njp.32101066120864	“ Mother, ” he said anxiously, “ you're not ill, are ye?
njp.32101066120864	“ Mother,"he pleaded, “ let me bide here for the rest o'the day! ” “ Oh, but your father, Johnny?
njp.32101066120864	“ Mother,"she whispered at last, “ what are we to do?"
njp.32101066120864	“ Mother? ” he went on complainingly, “ is it no queer that a pair of e'en should follow a man?
njp.32101066120864	“ Mother? ” he went on complainingly, “ is it no queer that a pair of e'en should follow a man?
njp.32101066120864	“ My God! ” he cried, “ had I not enough to thole? ”"Aha! ” thought Postie,"yon letter Wilson got this morning was correct, then!
njp.32101066120864	“ No, no, dear; what makes ye think that?
njp.32101066120864	“ Now, then, who the devil are you? ” came the voice of old Gourlay.
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, do n't you remember?
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, have n't ye heard? ” quoth the Deacon blithely.
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, have ye noat heard?
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, it was Burns, was it?
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, it's you, is it?
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, mother! ” she panted, “ was it that that the wee clouts were for? ” “ Aye, it was that, ” said her mother.
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, that's the line you go on, is it?"
njp.32101066120864	“ Oh, what is it, John? ” She stretched out her thin, red hands, and clasped them tightly before her.
njp.32101066120864	“ Oom?
njp.32101066120864	“ Shall we adjourn?
njp.32101066120864	“ Tell me now, ” said the cleric, “ do you mean to take your Arts course in three years or four?
njp.32101066120864	“ That was at the boy's birth, Mr. Coe? ” said he.
njp.32101066120864	“ Want?
njp.32101066120864	“ Was Wilson referring to me, after all? ” he pondered slowly; and his body surged at the thought.
njp.32101066120864	“ Well? ” he asked, bringing his thin finger- tips to- gether, and flinging one thigh across the other.
njp.32101066120864	“ Were ye in Skeighan the day? ” “ Aye, faither, ” she answered.
njp.32101066120864	“ Were ye saying anything? ” said Gourlay.
njp.32101066120864	“ Wha- at? ” “ Ye're not turning deaf, I hope.
njp.32101066120864	“ What ails the lamb that ye couldna send him?
njp.32101066120864	“ What are ye glowering at, John?
njp.32101066120864	“ What are ye shaking for?
njp.32101066120864	“ What are you after? ” he bawled.
njp.32101066120864	“ What are you doing here? ” he asked, with the wild- beast glower on his son.
njp.32101066120864	“ What are you doing here? ” said his father.
njp.32101066120864	“ What are'ee laughing at?
njp.32101066120864	“ What can she have to laugh at? ” Janet wondered.
njp.32101066120864	“ What do ye think I mean to do wi'ye now? ” he moaned.
njp.32101066120864	“ What does it matter what you want?
njp.32101066120864	“ What does this mean? ” Gourlay asked him, though he loathed the Deacon.
njp.32101066120864	“ What for no? ” Peter took a great old watch, with a yellow case, from his fob, and, “ It wants a while o’aicht, sir, ” he volun- teered.
njp.32101066120864	“ What for, my sweet? ” “ I hate the school, ” he said, bitterly; “ I aye want to be at hame. ” His mother saw his cut mouth.
njp.32101066120864	“ What is it?
njp.32101066120864	“ What road'th he taking? ” lisped Deacon Allardyce, craning past Brodie's big shoulder to get a look.
njp.32101066120864	“ What the hell are you laughing at? ” he snarled, leaping up; quick to feel the slight, blatant to resent it.
njp.32101066120864	“ What was the charge for a man and a horse and a day's carrying when ye first came hereaway? ” he asked.
njp.32101066120864	“ What's ado wi ’ the fellow? ” cried Gourlay.
njp.32101066120864	“ What's the matter, Johnny dear? ” she cried, with a fierce glance at Gilmour.
njp.32101066120864	“ What's this they christened him now?
njp.32101066120864	“ What's this? ” he demanded, with a widening look.
njp.32101066120864	“ What's yon he's carrying on his shouther? ” pon- dered Brodie."
njp.32101066120864	“ Whatna gate was this to gang on?
njp.32101066120864	“ Whaur's my gimlet?
njp.32101066120864	“ Where do I come in? ” he asked blankly.
njp.32101066120864	“ Where's my hammer? ” snarled Gourlay.
njp.32101066120864	“ Where's your gaffer? ” he roared at the janitor.
njp.32101066120864	“ Who ’s Hepburn?
njp.32101066120864	“ Whose is it? ” said Brodie.
njp.32101066120864	“ Why do I think of an old pit?
njp.32101066120864	“ Why do you clear your throat like that? ” said Tar- millan—“like a craw with the croup, on a bare branch, against a grey sky in November!
njp.32101066120864	“ Will Lo- gan be singing Tam Glen?'
njp.32101066120864	“ Winna that be a fine way?
njp.32101066120864	“ Would I do instead? ” she asked.
njp.32101066120864	“ Would I no? ” said John, the wet lump poised for throwing, level with his shoulder.
njp.32101066120864	“ Would ye? ” said Gilmour, threateningly.
njp.32101066120864	“ Yes; did ye no ken he was in Skeighan?
njp.32101066120864	“ Yes?
njp.32101066120864	“ You'll come down to the meeting?"
mdp.39015063976990	'Disappeared'?
mdp.39015063976990	'Game'?
mdp.39015063976990	'Good news'?
mdp.39015063976990	'Hunted'?
mdp.39015063976990	'Pretty lady'?
mdp.39015063976990	'They'?
mdp.39015063976990	'We'?
mdp.39015063976990	About what?
mdp.39015063976990	After he'd threatened you in front of me? mdp.39015063976990 Again?
mdp.39015063976990	Ah, Lanyard, my boyl there you are, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	And I'm to understand you stole back here tonight to tell me that?
mdp.39015063976990	And how is that?
mdp.39015063976990	And it tells you what of this?
mdp.39015063976990	And likewise to see that I do not take it into my head to — how do you say it? mdp.39015063976990 And my subsequent behaviour has been, I trust, discreet?"
mdp.39015063976990	And now—Lanyard demanded of himself more than of the woman—"what?"
mdp.39015063976990	And now, if you do n't mind ownin'up,he said with a clearer note of sarcasm:"What the devil are you drivin'at?
mdp.39015063976990	And since when has that transpired —?
mdp.39015063976990	And that?
mdp.39015063976990	And what about yourself — you damn'burglar?
mdp.39015063976990	And what has become of the precious pair?
mdp.39015063976990	And what is so deplorable in that? mdp.39015063976990 And where do we go from there?"
mdp.39015063976990	And why not?
mdp.39015063976990	And you believed —?
mdp.39015063976990	And you have not see him since?
mdp.39015063976990	And you want me to believe you considered these your best overtures?
mdp.39015063976990	And you, my friend?
mdp.39015063976990	And your other reasons —?
mdp.39015063976990	And—Lanyard's fingers were itching to bury themselves in that fat throat and shake the beast till he cried for mercy—"and if I refuse?
mdp.39015063976990	Are you afraid of the test? mdp.39015063976990 At what time?"
mdp.39015063976990	Bad as all that, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	Beautiful and — shall we say — not ingenue, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	Beg pardon, sir: what was that you said?
mdp.39015063976990	Benefit of what doubt?
mdp.39015063976990	Blackmailers?
mdp.39015063976990	Bright? mdp.39015063976990 Burglar?
mdp.39015063976990	But do tell me what I have done to deserve so much respect?
mdp.39015063976990	But do you not forget—he snatched at this straw —"that there are motor- cycle police abroad, even on these back- country roads?
mdp.39015063976990	But do you tell me that as one who has given this photograph close and intelligent study?
mdp.39015063976990	But does not the fact that our paths have sometimes crossed prove we travel widely different courses?
mdp.39015063976990	But have you never observed that a man actually taken by surprise never shows it in a flashlight photo- graph? mdp.39015063976990 But how can you?"
mdp.39015063976990	But how else —?
mdp.39015063976990	But if I insist? mdp.39015063976990 But nobody in fact who knew me personally, who could swear to my identity with the man who passed for me?"
mdp.39015063976990	But to continue: Give the financier who was a peasant respite from his cares, and whither turns his heart? mdp.39015063976990 But what of the blow to my heart?"
mdp.39015063976990	But what the — who the — what the hell right've you —?
mdp.39015063976990	But what would you?
mdp.39015063976990	But where is he? mdp.39015063976990 But where, to be safe —?"
mdp.39015063976990	But where?
mdp.39015063976990	But why should I, when it is you, not I, the Sultan of Loot is after? mdp.39015063976990 But why should she have harked back to'Paul Martin'?"
mdp.39015063976990	But why that one?
mdp.39015063976990	But why?
mdp.39015063976990	But why?
mdp.39015063976990	But will it last?
mdp.39015063976990	But you did n't answer my question: Why not?
mdp.39015063976990	But you do not see that this is, in one of your his- tory, questionable conduct? mdp.39015063976990 But — good God — for what purpose?"
mdp.39015063976990	But, to a woman, somewhat unsettling, is it not?
mdp.39015063976990	Ca n't remember what you did with the stuff, either, I suppose?
mdp.39015063976990	Can you require that of me?
mdp.39015063976990	Cut it out, ca n't you?
mdp.39015063976990	Did n't suppose we'd be able to sleep a wink, did you, when you'd got us all excited up?
mdp.39015063976990	Did you call them friends?
mdp.39015063976990	Do n't suppose I'm taking any chances of his having a spell of sleeplessness tonight, do you? mdp.39015063976990 Do n't suppose anybody takes any stock in that yarn today, do you?"
mdp.39015063976990	Do you always insist on having a plot to explain why people request the honour of your presence at their dinners?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you happen to know where he lives?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you honestly expect me to gaze on this and keep a straight face?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you know? mdp.39015063976990 Do you mean to try for that railroad?"
mdp.39015063976990	Do you not find it so, my Michael?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you not mean to forsake me, put me by now I am of no more use?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you suppose they'd believe I ever found my way up here without your invitation?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you suspect me of luring you here to poison you, Michael?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you take me for one to endure such malice The Lone Wolf Returns 263 ■ without striking a blow for self- respect? mdp.39015063976990 Do you truly believe you'd find me so contemptible, Liane?
mdp.39015063976990	Does he imagine he is deceiving some- body?
mdp.39015063976990	Does yours agree?
mdp.39015063976990	Even an open road?
mdp.39015063976990	Everybody?
mdp.39015063976990	Feel a bit shiken up, do n't you, sir?
mdp.39015063976990	From New York?
mdp.39015063976990	Get much of a show to look around while you were there?
mdp.39015063976990	Good to look at, you mean, monsieur?
mdp.39015063976990	Half an hour or so ago — wasn't it, Lanyard?
mdp.39015063976990	Has Liane told you nothing about herself?
mdp.39015063976990	Hast thou forgotten, then?
mdp.39015063976990	Have I?
mdp.39015063976990	Have n't I just been telling you I never leave any- thing to chance?
mdp.39015063976990	Have you never been mistaken in reading the hearts of those whom you employ? mdp.39015063976990 Hello?"
mdp.39015063976990	Hootch?
mdp.39015063976990	How about it, Mallison? mdp.39015063976990 How can I, if I'm going to be arrested and put in jail and brought up in a police court with all these awful people?
mdp.39015063976990	How can you even suggest such a thing?
mdp.39015063976990	How can you say it was I?
mdp.39015063976990	How can you?
mdp.39015063976990	How do I know?
mdp.39015063976990	How do you do, ma'm? mdp.39015063976990 How do you mean?"
mdp.39015063976990	How else could they have known?
mdp.39015063976990	How indeed?
mdp.39015063976990	How should I not, seeing it is your choice?
mdp.39015063976990	How useful?
mdp.39015063976990	How'd you get on with the pretty McFee?
mdp.39015063976990	How'd you manage that?
mdp.39015063976990	How's that?
mdp.39015063976990	I am counsel for Mrs. Mallison —"You do n't say? mdp.39015063976990 I am to understand,"he persisted, addressing Mor- phew,"it is your intention to give me in charge?"
mdp.39015063976990	I am?
mdp.39015063976990	I did? mdp.39015063976990 I had to wait to tell you,"he said,"till I was sure —"In indulgent raillery she interrupted:"Sure that you loved me?"
mdp.39015063976990	I know: is n't it? mdp.39015063976990 I re- fuse to submit to these star- chamber proceedings —""Do you, now?"
mdp.39015063976990	I think you said we were three days out? mdp.39015063976990 I?"
mdp.39015063976990	If you did n't know what you were doing last night, like you claim, how d'you know you did n't pull the job off yourself?
mdp.39015063976990	In brief: you have had the effrontery to force your way into a private residence in the hope of securing evidence for divorce proceedings?
mdp.39015063976990	In his way —?
mdp.39015063976990	In your own?
mdp.39015063976990	Indeed? mdp.39015063976990 Indeed?
mdp.39015063976990	Indeed?
mdp.39015063976990	Indeed?
mdp.39015063976990	Indeed?
mdp.39015063976990	Is a woman always suspected of enticing the man who breaks into her house like a thief? mdp.39015063976990 Is it kind to encourage my besetting vice?"
mdp.39015063976990	Is it permitted to ask, how a mystery?
mdp.39015063976990	Is it?
mdp.39015063976990	Is not tonight enough to prove to you no man who loved you truly could consent to expose you to such a life? mdp.39015063976990 Is that right?"
mdp.39015063976990	Is that you, really, Morphy? mdp.39015063976990 Is there a double meaning to that?"
mdp.39015063976990	Is there more to fear?
mdp.39015063976990	Is this a confession you're making?
mdp.39015063976990	Is this the truth you are telling me, Liane?
mdp.39015063976990	It is horrid of me to plague you, is n't it? mdp.39015063976990 Late?"
mdp.39015063976990	Let me speak for you —"You have that right?
mdp.39015063976990	Like Mallison, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	Loved you, Liane? mdp.39015063976990 Madame de Montalais?"
mdp.39015063976990	Madame has mislaid one?
mdp.39015063976990	Madame la comtesse was expecting; —?
mdp.39015063976990	Mallison's here?
mdp.39015063976990	Mally and Peter Pagan and Liane Delorme? mdp.39015063976990 May not?"
mdp.39015063976990	Mean to say you do n't remember —?
mdp.39015063976990	Mind him?
mdp.39015063976990	Mine?
mdp.39015063976990	Monsieur Mor- phew is here so soon, no?
mdp.39015063976990	Monsieur Paul Martin?
mdp.39015063976990	Monsieur Paul Martin?
mdp.39015063976990	Monsieur does much travelling in the dark?
mdp.39015063976990	Monsieur is not making fun of me?
mdp.39015063976990	Morphew is n't in his room?
mdp.39015063976990	Morphew?
mdp.39015063976990	Mr. Mallison is no doubt madame's husband?
mdp.39015063976990	Mrs. Folliptt McFee?
mdp.39015063976990	Mrs. Mallison has been wronged, then? mdp.39015063976990 Mrs. McFee knows I haven't — I wo n't be sacrificed to save her —"138 The Lone Wolf Returns"How's that?"
mdp.39015063976990	Must we go into that? mdp.39015063976990 Never forget anything, do you?"
mdp.39015063976990	No —"Then you are not in a position to assert the fellow is not where I have indicated?
mdp.39015063976990	Nobody to bid me bon voyage?
mdp.39015063976990	Not —?
mdp.39015063976990	Not?
mdp.39015063976990	Now you tell me, which of us is the fool?
mdp.39015063976990	Of course, as to blackmailers, I've nothing to fear —"Pardon: but can you be sure? mdp.39015063976990 Of course; but why wait?
mdp.39015063976990	Oh?
mdp.39015063976990	One is to infer your conduct has been good?
mdp.39015063976990	One must first pay one's debts —"Then the debt you owe my love and devotion stands second to the debt you owe self- love?
mdp.39015063976990	Or merely sleeping? mdp.39015063976990 Or will not?"
mdp.39015063976990	Outside of that, however, you've got nothing to fear?
mdp.39015063976990	Painful?
mdp.39015063976990	Pardon?
mdp.39015063976990	Pardon?
mdp.39015063976990	Pretending you've forgotten all about how that happened, too, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	Rather not"I was — alone?
mdp.39015063976990	Rest tranquil — with that poor headl Thou dost still suffer greatly, my old one?
mdp.39015063976990	She came back all right, she's here now, is n't she? mdp.39015063976990 She had some reason to think she would find him here?"
mdp.39015063976990	Shyster?
mdp.39015063976990	Since we may not marry, what else can I do but go my way?
mdp.39015063976990	So that's the song and dance, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	Stupid people bothering Soames: what do they matter to you and me? mdp.39015063976990 Such incentives as?"
mdp.39015063976990	Sure that'll be long enough?
mdp.39015063976990	Talk?
mdp.39015063976990	That all your news?
mdp.39015063976990	That what you call'em?
mdp.39015063976990	That's your style, is it, my lady? mdp.39015063976990 The jewels you're wearing would ransom a profi- teer's wife —""Why not?
mdp.39015063976990	The lady with me — was she injured?
mdp.39015063976990	The little bird again?
mdp.39015063976990	The old life calls, eh?
mdp.39015063976990	The usual room? mdp.39015063976990 Then I reckon it'll make you and your lady happy if I fix it up pronto for you to get away without being mugged and finger- printed and all?
mdp.39015063976990	Then I'm to make the trip alone?
mdp.39015063976990	Then why should n't we both take the train?
mdp.39015063976990	Then you actually were expecting me for dinner?
mdp.39015063976990	There I touched the heel of Achilles — eh, monsieur? mdp.39015063976990 There is more?"
mdp.39015063976990	There is only one question I need ask: These fabulously wealthy folk no doubt maintain a corps of night watchmen?
mdp.39015063976990	Think so?
mdp.39015063976990	Truly?
mdp.39015063976990	Want him to call y'up? mdp.39015063976990 We wo n't find it necessary to tell our fellow passengers what a sorry fraud I am, will we?"
mdp.39015063976990	Well,Morphew roughly insisted:"what do you see?"
mdp.39015063976990	Well: how're you feeling now?
mdp.39015063976990	Well: what did you think?
mdp.39015063976990	Well: what do you want?
mdp.39015063976990	Well: where do you? mdp.39015063976990 Well?"
mdp.39015063976990	Well?
mdp.39015063976990	What about Mallison?
mdp.39015063976990	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015063976990	What are you telling me? mdp.39015063976990 What are you telling me?"
mdp.39015063976990	What are you up to there?
mdp.39015063976990	What can happen, if I let Morphew down?
mdp.39015063976990	What can you do?
mdp.39015063976990	What d'you think you mean by that?
mdp.39015063976990	What do I care what they think of you?
mdp.39015063976990	What do I see?
mdp.39015063976990	What do you mean,'perhaps'?
mdp.39015063976990	What do you mean? mdp.39015063976990 What do you propose, then?"
mdp.39015063976990	What do you propose?
mdp.39015063976990	What do you say?
mdp.39015063976990	What do you suppose that means?
mdp.39015063976990	What does it matter, so we go to meet it together?
mdp.39015063976990	What does it matter?
mdp.39015063976990	What else do you intend, when you tell me of your determination to go back to New York?
mdp.39015063976990	What for? mdp.39015063976990 What happened?"
mdp.39015063976990	What hour is it, do you know?
mdp.39015063976990	What is it to me where I live, so I am with you?
mdp.39015063976990	What is it?
mdp.39015063976990	What is the message, please?
mdp.39015063976990	What is there to tell?
mdp.39015063976990	What is your objection?
mdp.39015063976990	What man? mdp.39015063976990 What more do you wish me to say, Michael?"
mdp.39015063976990	What name?
mdp.39015063976990	What necklace?
mdp.39015063976990	What sort of a thing?
mdp.39015063976990	What sort of an accident?
mdp.39015063976990	What's on your mind, Mr. Duchemin — more than your cas- ualty?
mdp.39015063976990	What's that to me?
mdp.39015063976990	What's that? mdp.39015063976990 What's that?"
mdp.39015063976990	What's that?
mdp.39015063976990	What's the mat- ter, Mally? mdp.39015063976990 What's the matter with it?
mdp.39015063976990	What's the matter? mdp.39015063976990 What's to stop you, once you get set at that safe?"
mdp.39015063976990	What's your hurry?
mdp.39015063976990	What, then? mdp.39015063976990 While I was sustaining life on shellfish in the Bahamas?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who do you think? mdp.39015063976990 Who knows, monsieur?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who would n't with a flashlight going off all of a sudden under his nose when he's keyed up to G try- ing to pull off a big job?
mdp.39015063976990	Who, me? mdp.39015063976990 Why do you look behind so often, Michael?"
mdp.39015063976990	Why do you say that, Michael?
mdp.39015063976990	Why do you think I care The Lone Wolf Returns 345 whether you go or stay? mdp.39015063976990 Why half?"
mdp.39015063976990	Why keep fretting about Mallison? mdp.39015063976990 Why not consult that pretty trinket strapped on your wrist?
mdp.39015063976990	Why not quite full, monsieur?
mdp.39015063976990	Why not? mdp.39015063976990 Why not?
mdp.39015063976990	Why should I be afraid to trust you with a gat?
mdp.39015063976990	Why so mealy- mouthed? mdp.39015063976990 Why so mysterious, Michael?"
mdp.39015063976990	Why trifle with the truth to spare my feelings?
mdp.39015063976990	Why try to keep anything from you?
mdp.39015063976990	Why twenty- four hours?
mdp.39015063976990	Why waste time trying to deceive you? mdp.39015063976990 Why?"
mdp.39015063976990	Without your help,he pleaded,"how shall I be strong?
mdp.39015063976990	You ad- mit your liability for unlawful trespass, I take it?
mdp.39015063976990	You advise me, then —?
mdp.39015063976990	You are acquainted?
mdp.39015063976990	You are going to tell me about that side of your life which you like to keep covered up?
mdp.39015063976990	You are in some danger?
mdp.39015063976990	You are much too gracious, Liane; I shall have so little use for a guest- card —"What are you talking about, Michael? mdp.39015063976990 You are sure?"
mdp.39015063976990	You are the ship's surgeon, monsieur?
mdp.39015063976990	You are tired, madame?
mdp.39015063976990	You are wondering how I eluded the authorities at Nassau? mdp.39015063976990 You believe that?"
mdp.39015063976990	You believe that?
mdp.39015063976990	You called him up from here?
mdp.39015063976990	You complain with rea- son of having been robbed of seven months of memory; but what of me, who stand to lose seven months of memories?
mdp.39015063976990	You could be dangerous and not half try; but so long as you persist The Lone Wolf Returns 63 in being a gentleman, why should I fear? mdp.39015063976990 You did n't see him, then, as he came skulking across the lawns?"
mdp.39015063976990	You distrust appearance?
mdp.39015063976990	You do n't find it so?
mdp.39015063976990	You do n't like my make- up?
mdp.39015063976990	You do n't suppose they'd have lured you out here to dinner without first getting my permission, do you? mdp.39015063976990 You do n't think I could possibly —?"
mdp.39015063976990	You do n't think that would stop him? mdp.39015063976990 You feel sure, monsieur?"
mdp.39015063976990	You have fixed it?
mdp.39015063976990	You have slept all afternoon, and soundly?
mdp.39015063976990	You have spies within the gates, then?
mdp.39015063976990	You know nothing, then, of a motor accident on the Armonk Road in which I was involved on the night in question?
mdp.39015063976990	You make that a positive condition?
mdp.39015063976990	You mean Morphy's trying to blackmail you? mdp.39015063976990 You meant to be a consistent gambler, then — trust me to return to New York with my loot alone?"
mdp.39015063976990	You miss something, my friend, in this land where more things are verboten than in Germany before the War?
mdp.39015063976990	You swear it?
mdp.39015063976990	You was comin'down from the bridge- deck, sir — do n't you remember? mdp.39015063976990 You will pardon my not rising to see you to the door?"
mdp.39015063976990	You would have them back?
mdp.39015063976990	You—Morphew abandoned all effort to disguise the strain upon his self- control—"you're going to go through with it?"
mdp.39015063976990	You're perfectly eaten alive by curiosity to knom how Morphy got round me, are n't you? mdp.39015063976990 You, then, knew I was still here?"
mdp.39015063976990	Your'client'?
mdp.39015063976990	Yours, my friend? mdp.39015063976990 — a note of scorn sounded in her voice, or Lanyard was deceived—"why did n't you?
mdp.39015063976990	'*"Oh?"
mdp.39015063976990	'Ow do you feel now, sir?"
mdp.39015063976990	*"And yours, one presumes, are devoted to making records for the gramophone?"
mdp.39015063976990	... As for that infamous taxicab, I ask you: what is one to do when one's own car is, as these quaint Americans put it, laid out?"
mdp.39015063976990	.?"
mdp.39015063976990	194 The Lone Wolf Returns"Who can say what may lie in wait for us round the next bend?"
mdp.39015063976990	20 The Lone Wolf Returns"Is it that you begin to find yourself bored with this America, Michael?"
mdp.39015063976990	202 The Lone Wolf Returns"Let me see, now, sir: what was the number of your stiteroom?"
mdp.39015063976990	210 The Lone Wolf Returns"Nothing to lead you to suspect I was n't in full com- mand of my faculties?"
mdp.39015063976990	22 The Lone Wolf Returns"It would be a pleasure, Liane; but are you sure —?"
mdp.39015063976990	A jimmy?"
mdp.39015063976990	A pauper?
mdp.39015063976990	Afraid to answer?"
mdp.39015063976990	After all, what is the present more than the past plus?
mdp.39015063976990	Again Liane's whisper:"What shall we do?"
mdp.39015063976990	Ai n't that the truth?"
mdp.39015063976990	And if it comes to that — why not?"
mdp.39015063976990	And now what diablerie was she fostering behind that mask of fair, seductive flesh?
mdp.39015063976990	And that's the prob- lem that's been puzzling me, Mr. Lanyard: What's our friend going to do?
mdp.39015063976990	And they've been such funl What's the matter with Liane?"
mdp.39015063976990	And why should he care?"
mdp.39015063976990	And you?"
mdp.39015063976990	Another freak of friendly fortune?
mdp.39015063976990	Anything more you want to take up with me?"
mdp.39015063976990	But admitting all that — where does it get us?"
mdp.39015063976990	But do you claim more for your own sex?"
mdp.39015063976990	But her motive?
mdp.39015063976990	But how does he know?
mdp.39015063976990	But how tell Eve, how make her under- stand, win her consent and concurrence?
mdp.39015063976990	But how will the bottle find its way to the seat of the chair?"
mdp.39015063976990	But is this part of the lecture?
mdp.39015063976990	But was it possible?
mdp.39015063976990	But why shake yours so dourly?"
mdp.39015063976990	But why?)
mdp.39015063976990	Can I forget how you were when I found you, buried to life in that isolate chateau half a hundred years to the south of Paris?
mdp.39015063976990	Can I not see what a change has come over you in these few months of your own New York?"
mdp.39015063976990	Can you ask me to doom you to exile in some hole or corner, some place so lost that the whisper of my ill fame will not find it?
mdp.39015063976990	Crane?"
mdp.39015063976990	Did I not foretell that, when I had told you everything, you would for- 238 The Lone Wo\i Returns get your pledge to me?
mdp.39015063976990	Did the ulterior thought faintly re- echo in that as- sertion?
mdp.39015063976990	Do I not know?
mdp.39015063976990	Do n't I know?
mdp.39015063976990	Do n't you hear me?"
mdp.39015063976990	Do n't you think it does your fatal beauty justice?"
mdp.39015063976990	Do you hear?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you think I've been pullin'your leg about my ratin'these last few nights?
mdp.39015063976990	Do you think you could by any chance find a copy for me?"
mdp.39015063976990	Does he steal today deliberately for gain?
mdp.39015063976990	Doing anything special over here?"
mdp.39015063976990	Drawing Lanyard aside, Crane dropped his voice:"Still with the B. S. S.?
mdp.39015063976990	Ees this Monsieur Martin spikin'?"
mdp.39015063976990	Eh, Theodore?"
mdp.39015063976990	Else how can you be so sure?"
mdp.39015063976990	Expecting somebody?"
mdp.39015063976990	Fagin?
mdp.39015063976990	Folly McFee gave a gasp of astonishment:"Where are they?"
mdp.39015063976990	Folly?
mdp.39015063976990	Got anything in the place good for a wrecked dome?"
mdp.39015063976990	H'are you, Lanyard?
mdp.39015063976990	Have n't you had chance enough to study those diagrams?"
mdp.39015063976990	Have n't you proved it here tonight?"
mdp.39015063976990	He persisted:"You wo n't tell me —?"
mdp.39015063976990	How about it, ma'm?"
mdp.39015063976990	How can you be sure he did n't put the jewels into his own pocket instead of into mine?"
mdp.39015063976990	How could anybody hold out against suet magnanimity?"
mdp.39015063976990	How dare you say, or even suggest, such things to me?
mdp.39015063976990	How do I know what or what not to believe?
mdp.39015063976990	How should I know?"
mdp.39015063976990	How soon shall I say you'll be ready?"
mdp.39015063976990	How will he relax?
mdp.39015063976990	How, then, came he to backslide?
mdp.39015063976990	I do n't deserve to be thrown out, you owe me fairer treatment —""I owe you what?"
mdp.39015063976990	I mean, everything is all set for the big bust?"
mdp.39015063976990	I wonder, is it waste of time to beg a service of you, madame?"
mdp.39015063976990	If it does him injustice, he ought to take in his sign, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063976990	In a hard stare Crane wondered aloud:"You mean that, Lanyard?"
mdp.39015063976990	In a more urgent voice he added:"Can you not under- stand your danger?
mdp.39015063976990	In accents circumspect but crisp and even she de- manded:"What are you doing there?"
mdp.39015063976990	Is it permitted to be plain- spoken?"
mdp.39015063976990	It was secured, I believe, when the Lone Wolf descended upon the family fold of the Stuyvesant Ashes?"
mdp.39015063976990	Knitting eyebrows now lent accent of apprehensiveness to the query:"My'stuff'?"
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard blankly cried—"you really do n't?"
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard weakly parried:"Has n't he told you?'
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard's shoulders were more expressive even than the spoken retort:"What else has one to do?"
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard?"
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard?"
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard?"
mdp.39015063976990	Lanyard?"
mdp.39015063976990	Liane twinkled—"or yours?"
mdp.39015063976990	Mally?"
mdp.39015063976990	McFee's?"
mdp.39015063976990	McFee?"
mdp.39015063976990	Mind tell- ing?
mdp.39015063976990	Must you go?
mdp.39015063976990	No doubt you saw me when or soon after I embarked?"
mdp.39015063976990	No less remarkably the woman pursued:"It's all right, then, dearie?
mdp.39015063976990	Not in the least displeased, Folly demanded:"Are you complaining —?"
mdp.39015063976990	One question more, Doctor —?"
mdp.39015063976990	Or d'you mean my luck at Bridge qualifies me in your estimation as a card- sharp first and a sea- goin'sawbones last?
mdp.39015063976990	Or was that, too, cracked by your fall?"
mdp.39015063976990	Pagan stared:"How unsettling?"
mdp.39015063976990	Pagan?"
mdp.39015063976990	Remember that time we raided the Clique Club?
mdp.39015063976990	Shall we, as you say, rejoin the ladies?"
mdp.39015063976990	She argued with a rebellious face:"But I ca n't help it — can I? — if it's you I must think of first."
mdp.39015063976990	So I have found occasion to speak French about this vessel?"
mdp.39015063976990	So why not begin the peace conference with just one friendly little hooter?
mdp.39015063976990	Still unresisting in her embrace, he asked:"And I am already proved ungrateful in your sight?"
mdp.39015063976990	Surely you ca n't still be thinking I will ever let you go?"
mdp.39015063976990	Tell me: what the deuce is your little game?"
mdp.39015063976990	That leaves him where?
mdp.39015063976990	The Lone Wolf Returns 251"Do n't you realize what you're up against? — wanted for a dozen jobs pulled off in the last six months!
mdp.39015063976990	The Lone Wolf Returns 257 Not only that, but how do I know you are n't what they call psychic — a medium — able to swing a mean ectoplasm?"
mdp.39015063976990	The Lone Wolf Returns 3"I love you too well —""Too well to make me happy?"
mdp.39015063976990	The Lone Wolf Returns 329"No?"
mdp.39015063976990	The full, hard lips grudgingly released the mono- syllable:"Why?"
mdp.39015063976990	The pause of suspense was meant to provoke the question underlined by arching eyebrows:"No?"
mdp.39015063976990	Then your message was important?"
mdp.39015063976990	To himself he added a cry of despair:"Mother of Godl who cares?"
mdp.39015063976990	To misspend them all over again?"
mdp.39015063976990	To the"Well?"
mdp.39015063976990	Tryin''to make out a triflin'crack on the head has knocked you silly?
mdp.39015063976990	Was it pos- sible this chap still imagined he had found an easy dupe?
mdp.39015063976990	Was it wise to believe Mallison too dense to think of that for himself?
mdp.39015063976990	Was it wise to forget the least miscarriage of the scheme would leave you unable to prove your tool had been false to your trust?
mdp.39015063976990	Ways of thought about what?"
mdp.39015063976990	Well then: who do you suppose fixed things up for her?"
mdp.39015063976990	Were the claims of the past too strong?
mdp.39015063976990	What did you want with Morphew?"
mdp.39015063976990	What do they call it?
mdp.39015063976990	What do you say?"
mdp.39015063976990	What does the good man want?"
mdp.39015063976990	What else could make the lights so dim?
mdp.39015063976990	What good do you think it's going to do you to stall about it now, try to feed the bull to me, the way you did to Liane on board that boat?
mdp.39015063976990	What happened?"
mdp.39015063976990	What happens?
mdp.39015063976990	What has he done?"
mdp.39015063976990	What is this necklace you are raving about?"
mdp.39015063976990	What the deuce was her name?
mdp.39015063976990	What the devil had got into him tonight, that he should consent for a single instant to indulge such a train of thought?
mdp.39015063976990	What time is it now?"
mdp.39015063976990	What time is it now?"
mdp.39015063976990	What was he doing?
mdp.39015063976990	What was his name?
mdp.39015063976990	What would you do?"
mdp.39015063976990	What's the grand idea?"
mdp.39015063976990	What's yuh number?"
mdp.39015063976990	What, indeed( he must have 140 The Lone Wolf Returns 141 reasoned) was the use?
mdp.39015063976990	What, then, could their purpose be with this engag- ing and indiscreet young person?
mdp.39015063976990	Where are you taking me?"
mdp.39015063976990	Where you stopping?"
mdp.39015063976990	Where's my husband?"
mdp.39015063976990	Where?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who can it be?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who is he?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who knows how they will fall?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who knows whose hand will cast the dice tonight?
mdp.39015063976990	Who knows?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who shall say?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who should I be expecting?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who wants him?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who wants him?"
mdp.39015063976990	Who wants to take me down for this tango?
mdp.39015063976990	Who would ever suspect that rude and unlovely exterior disguised so much goodness and simplicity of heart?"
mdp.39015063976990	Why bother your head about such canaille?"
mdp.39015063976990	Why did you shiver when you spoke of the fellow?
mdp.39015063976990	Why do you suppose I ever let them think they'd got round me again?
mdp.39015063976990	Why not keep me company while I wait, and enjoy a little raking over of old scandals?"
mdp.39015063976990	Why not stop here for the night?
mdp.39015063976990	Why should I be in danger of arrest?
mdp.39015063976990	Why waste good time mourning that which is immortal, anyway?
mdp.39015063976990	Wo n't you tell me what she is like?"
mdp.39015063976990	Would he ever know?
mdp.39015063976990	Would n't he go?"
mdp.39015063976990	You do understand, do n't you, Mrs. Mc- Fee, this is no fault of Soames'?"
mdp.39015063976990	You have been asleep?"
mdp.39015063976990	You see —?"
mdp.39015063976990	You were saying —?"
mdp.39015063976990	You've been a hell of a long time; what kept you?"
mdp.39015063976990	an iron hut in the Australian bush!—where else?
mdp.39015063976990	been tryin'to butt a hole through the promenade deck, have you?"
mdp.39015063976990	bu how did he get round vo «?"
mdp.39015063976990	but how?"
mdp.39015063976990	cried Crane—"where in time did you meet up with that war- horse?"
mdp.39015063976990	did I forget to tell you?
mdp.39015063976990	do my ears mis- lead me?"
mdp.39015063976990	double- cross you?
mdp.39015063976990	got a little key to give up?"
mdp.39015063976990	he blankly wondered—"ran away —?"
mdp.39015063976990	he enunciated distinctly —"is she all right?"
mdp.39015063976990	he insisted—"truly?"
mdp.39015063976990	he remonstrated in his most British Eng- lish—"we are getting on, rather — aren't we?"
mdp.39015063976990	how can you be so contemptible?"
mdp.39015063976990	how could you?"
mdp.39015063976990	how dare he be so sly with me and at the same time such an imbecile?"
mdp.39015063976990	in affected solicitude she cried —"whatever has happened?
mdp.39015063976990	not really?"
mdp.39015063976990	or have I at last succeeded in rousing you?"
mdp.39015063976990	or involuntarily at the dictates of some subde and deathless instinct?"
mdp.39015063976990	or one of ill- favoured fate?
mdp.39015063976990	or that I wo n't make good my word?"
mdp.39015063976990	or the demands of the present?
mdp.39015063976990	reflex memory?
mdp.39015063976990	she cried, startled—"of you?"
mdp.39015063976990	she reproached, delighted—"you do n't trust me?"
mdp.39015063976990	the heartbreaking voice at his shoulder insisted—"why do n't you answer me?
mdp.39015063976990	what mischief had she in mind that required his co- operation?
mdp.39015063976990	what then?"
mdp.39015063976990	why you think you may not ask me to marry you, when between us all else has been said?"
mdp.39015063976990	will we ever know their like again?"
mdp.39015063976990	you do n't mean to say it's tonight?

nyp.33433074939996	2OO The Door of the Unreal ready seen with the new moon and in its first quarter?
nyp.33433074939996	Besides, I ca n't go and sit in the drawing- room all alone and talk to myself like a jibbering idiot can I, Mr. Manders? ” He laughed.
nyp.33433074939996	Between London and Clymping 127 Surely I can count on you to ascribe the best intentions to me in a difficult position anything but of my own making?
nyp.33433074939996	But are you sure I sha n’t be in the way? ” “ Quite the reverse, ” he replied, with decided emphasis, as he led the way in.
nyp.33433074939996	But were they so superstitious after all; or rather were they not in closer touch with elemental facts than we of the West?
nyp.33433074939996	Do you know him? ” “ Yes, funnily enough, I do, though not as a 76 The Door of the Unreal conventional London acquaintance.
nyp.33433074939996	Had Burgess, hitherto apparently impervious, suc- cumbed at last?
nyp.33433074939996	He could not by any chance have been worried by some dog or other animal, whilst he lay unconscious, could he? ” Burgess shook his head.
nyp.33433074939996	How did that happen? ” I told him of my old friendship with Burgess, and the tie that always drew me there first upon arriving in England.
nyp.33433074939996	How is Lord Bullingdon? ” Burgess shook his head.
nyp.33433074939996	How is he, by the by, and what is the news of him? ” “ None at all, ” answered Burgess.
nyp.33433074939996	I like seeing things through my- Self. ” “ But your career, your future? ” I said.
nyp.33433074939996	I wonder if Lord Bulling- don's uncle, Colonel Gorleston, will turn up?
nyp.33433074939996	It's rather important; and I'll explain the whole business later on. ”- “ Might be wangled, Bill, might n't it? ” said Harry Verjoyce.
nyp.33433074939996	So I shall just be content to leave things at your discretion. ” “ Without reservation? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074939996	That has not been repaired yet, has it? ” I asked, turning to Burgess.
nyp.33433074939996	The Brighton Road 75 “ What about his relatives? ” I asked Burgess, during an interval.
nyp.33433074939996	The sun was high in the heavens: but was all well with the world?
nyp.33433074939996	What did you do with yourself? ” “ Nothing I could n't tell you or any other nice young girl in her teens, ” I replied.
nyp.33433074939996	What has he got to do with it? ” I liked his directness as a quick thinker.
nyp.33433074939996	What is his best time?
nyp.33433074939996	What shall I get? ” “ Devilled kidneys, ” I replied, as I helped her Out.
nyp.33433074939996	What would the next twenty- four hours bring forth — for good or for evil?
nyp.33433074939996	Whether Manager King of the “ Castle ” regards the latest Town Tit Bits as a good “ ad ” or a lost star?
nyp.33433074939996	Whether Wuffles and Tony are taking the situation as seriously as some other less in- terested folk?
nyp.33433074939996	Whether the Upper Chamber and the Footlights are once more about to unite forces?
nyp.33433074939996	You know we have found young Bullingdon? ” I nodded.
nyp.33433074939996	You will at least give me the satisfaction of stand- ing in upon expenses, as I ca n't go myself? ” Manders made a little gesture.
nyp.33433074939996	“ All ready? ” asked Blenkinsopp quietly, as the hall- clock chimed a quarter to nine.
nyp.33433074939996	“ And how do you promise to dispose of your werewolves and account for the disappearance of their human counterparts? ” he asked dryly.
nyp.33433074939996	“ And how is the Herr Professor? ” I asked I30 The Door of the Unreal keeping the lighter vein.
nyp.33433074939996	“ And that surly old brute of a German Pro- fessor? ’ ’ he added.
nyp.33433074939996	“ But how?
nyp.33433074939996	“ But what about Wuffles? ” asked Bill Welling- ham.
nyp.33433074939996	“ Could you two chaps get two or three days'leave for a very particular purpose, ” he asked — “ say from Monday to Wednesday or Thursday?

nyp.33433074939996	“ Have a chocolate to keep you quiet?
nyp.33433074939996	“ Have you ever studied the subject of lycan- thropy? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074939996	“ I presume that you have a plan in your mind? ” 2O2 The Door of the Unreal “ Yes, I have, sir, ” I replied promptly and emphatically.
nyp.33433074939996	“ Linc, ” he asked in a curious strangled voice, “ what about Dorothy?
nyp.33433074939996	“ May I examine yours? ” I said, holding out my hand.
nyp.33433074939996	“ More cheese? ” asked Blenkinsopp, pushing the plate towards me and relieving the situation.
nyp.33433074939996	“ No?
nyp.33433074939996	“ Now what do you want me to do? ” he asked, when he had concluded.
nyp.33433074939996	“ Something for the Professor? ” “ No, my curious child, ” I replied, “ only a box of chocolates for your blue- eyed Dorothy.
nyp.33433074939996	“ Sup- pose anything should be wrong?
nyp.33433074939996	“ What do you make of it? ” I made no remark.
nyp.33433074939996	“ What do you remember last? ” I inquired, speaking casually.
nyp.33433074939996	“ What is the time? ” the girl asked, as the grandfather clock in the hall chimed.
nyp.33433074939996	“ What news? ” they all asked at once.
nyp.33433074939996	“ What's that parcel you've got there, Linc? ” asked Ann.
nyp.33433074939996	“ What's up, Jevons? ” I asked, before he could speak, sitting up in bed.
nyp.33433074939996	“ Wherever did you get that flower? ” I asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074939996	“ You and Sir Bryan will stay and have some dinner? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074939996	“ You are in good hands and mak- ing splendid progress. ”- “ What has happened? ” he asked in a puzzled voice.
nyp.33433074939996	“ You do n't know of any savage dog or other big animal in the neighbourhood? ” I asked Mutton casually.
nyp.33433074939996	“ You say the cloth was all torn and lacerated, sir? ” he asked, turning to me.
nyp.33433074939996	“ You ’ll make me bilious and unfit me for my arduous duties. ” “ And how is your patient? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074939996	“ Your mother? ” I asked sympathetically.
mdp.39015063975935	Acquaint her?
mdp.39015063975935	After Colonel Kalendar went into the living room, you went back upstairs to tell your wife?
mdp.39015063975935	After he spoke to you that last time, do you know that he undressed and went to bed?
mdp.39015063975935	After you were dressed did you come down?
mdp.39015063975935	Am I correct, gentlemen?
mdp.39015063975935	And Captain Costain too? mdp.39015063975935 And did you not see him again until you called him after the alarm had been raised?"
mdp.39015063975935	And did you tell him that there had been a mis- take about the dinner date?
mdp.39015063975935	And during your many visits to the Colonel's did you ever see Mrs. Baldwin over there?
mdp.39015063975935	And exactly how far is it from Baldwin's house to the General's house?
mdp.39015063975935	And from Baldwin's to Major Zabriski's quar- ters?
mdp.39015063975935	And having involved herself yesterday, you re- fused to extract her, and as a punishment made her go down and explain the error?
mdp.39015063975935	And quite rightly he said that it was not neces- sary?
mdp.39015063975935	And that is the truth?
mdp.39015063975935	And the other men too?
mdp.39015063975935	And their acquaintance became rather, er — a — intimate?
mdp.39015063975935	And what did you tell Colonel Kalendar?
mdp.39015063975935	And what does that prove?
mdp.39015063975935	And what happened after you got inside?
mdp.39015063975935	And what is the P.X.?
mdp.39015063975935	And what on earth is that?
mdp.39015063975935	And when did Mrs. Baldwin arrive?
mdp.39015063975935	And when did you see your husband again?
mdp.39015063975935	And where were you, Captain Costain?
mdp.39015063975935	And you are sure he was in bed then?
mdp.39015063975935	And you are sure there was no light?
mdp.39015063975935	And you believed them? mdp.39015063975935 And you finished dressing?"
mdp.39015063975935	And you say this Colonel Kalendar — is that his name?
mdp.39015063975935	And you sent her down to tell him there had been a mistake?
mdp.39015063975935	And you were not sure, therefore, whether he was dead?
mdp.39015063975935	And you, Costain, have you any- thing to add to what Captain Baldwin has told me?
mdp.39015063975935	And you, sir?
mdp.39015063975935	Any of'em left — the Indians, I mean?
mdp.39015063975935	Are n't hurt?
mdp.39015063975935	Are there any other servants?
mdp.39015063975935	Are you convinced?
mdp.39015063975935	Are you sure your wife came downstairs?
mdp.39015063975935	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063975935	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin and his wife?
mdp.39015063975935	Believing, of course, that by that time the mur- derer had got away?
mdp.39015063975935	Bowles, have you got a cigar store here?
mdp.39015063975935	Brutality?
mdp.39015063975935	But suppose Minna Costain is n't there?
mdp.39015063975935	Can I keep this map for a while?
mdp.39015063975935	Can she talk?
mdp.39015063975935	Can you make the station before that train gets in?
mdp.39015063975935	Captain Baldwin?
mdp.39015063975935	Colonel Kalendar? mdp.39015063975935 Could it have been Jennie that Captain Costain was talking to downstairs last night when you heard him?"
mdp.39015063975935	Could you arrange it so she ca n't get off the post? mdp.39015063975935 Did Baldwin go at once?"
mdp.39015063975935	Did Mrs. Baldwin do work here too?
mdp.39015063975935	Did anyone come back with you?
mdp.39015063975935	Did either of you men see anyone go in or out of Colonel Kalendar's quarters, or these quarters?
mdp.39015063975935	Did he go?
mdp.39015063975935	Did he see much active service?
mdp.39015063975935	Did he seem agitated?
mdp.39015063975935	Did n't you close this cellar door, Bowles?
mdp.39015063975935	Did n't your wife say she had not seen him?
mdp.39015063975935	Did they ever quarrel?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you ever quarrel with Kalendar?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you go out yesterday?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you hear anyone moving inside?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you hear anyone talking in here as you went out?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you hear what he was saying?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you know he was going out?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you notice whether or not Colonel Kalendar carried a package?
mdp.39015063975935	Did you serve with him during the war?
mdp.39015063975935	Do n't be a fool,remarked Bowles,"do you want to drown?
mdp.39015063975935	Do they all have this eyelet for hanging up, screwed in the end of the hilt?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you always take your rage out on your hus- band?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you believe it was one of those five you have mentioned?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you happen to know the housekeeper Colonel Kalendar had?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you know any reason he may have had for bringing you such an unusual and expensive gift?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you know how long she's been with Kalen- dar?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you know where we are, young fella?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you know whether or not you came back into this room after you went into the kitchen?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you know who invited Colonel Kalendar to dine out on Thursday evening?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you know why he came, then?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you live in a house like this one, Major?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you remember what time the alarm was raised?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you suppose I could borrow one of them for about an hour? mdp.39015063975935 Do you understand what I mean?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you want to see me?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you wish it?
mdp.39015063975935	Does n't belong to you?
mdp.39015063975935	Does the gov- ernment give each one of you fellas a house like these?
mdp.39015063975935	Does this belong to you?
mdp.39015063975935	Ever see that before?
mdp.39015063975935	Ever seen this Hugot woman, young fella?
mdp.39015063975935	Finger prints?
mdp.39015063975935	Funny, is n't it? mdp.39015063975935 General Phipps'accusation?"
mdp.39015063975935	Get hold of yourself, you little fool — Dot, do you hear me?
mdp.39015063975935	Good heavens, Mr. Boodler, is this really true?
mdp.39015063975935	Had you ever any trouble with him?
mdp.39015063975935	Had you heard that Mrs. Baldwin was going to leave her husband?
mdp.39015063975935	Had you seen your wife at all that day?
mdp.39015063975935	Hal, how many times have I told you not to lie on the beds with those horsy, sweaty boots on? mdp.39015063975935 Hal, what's the matter?
mdp.39015063975935	Hal, will you listen to me?
mdp.39015063975935	Hal,she continued in a low voice that trembled with rage,"do you hear me?"
mdp.39015063975935	Has she said anything?
mdp.39015063975935	Have n't I forbidden you ever to ask that man to the house?
mdp.39015063975935	Have we got to go? mdp.39015063975935 Have you considered any possible motive, Gen- eral?"
mdp.39015063975935	Have you evolved any theory, Boodler?
mdp.39015063975935	Have you forgotten?
mdp.39015063975935	Have you searched again this morning?
mdp.39015063975935	He did n't tell you that he would not be home for dinner?
mdp.39015063975935	He must have been upset too, was n't he?
mdp.39015063975935	He said that?
mdp.39015063975935	Hello, Perkie,he said, addressing an individual in overalls and a cast- off soldier shirt,"the Fort Worth on time?"
mdp.39015063975935	Hicks, you were on this beat, number three, be- fore Jenkins?
mdp.39015063975935	How about the Hugot woman; any signs of improvement in her?
mdp.39015063975935	How about the windows?
mdp.39015063975935	How could I, when we are going out?
mdp.39015063975935	How did you find out Dot had asked Colonel Kalendar to dinner?
mdp.39015063975935	How did you know your scheme would work?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you know he was asleep?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you know what he smoked?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you know?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you know?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you make that out?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you mean peculiar?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you mean?
mdp.39015063975935	How do you spell it?
mdp.39015063975935	How far is it from Baldwin's house to that pit?
mdp.39015063975935	How frequently did Mrs. Costain come to the house?
mdp.39015063975935	How frequently did you visit his house?
mdp.39015063975935	How intimately did you know Colonel Kalen- dar?
mdp.39015063975935	How long did it take you to get the General?
mdp.39015063975935	How long has this affair of yours been going on?
mdp.39015063975935	How long was he gone?
mdp.39015063975935	How long were you at the Costains'before your wife joined you?
mdp.39015063975935	How often did she come over?
mdp.39015063975935	How often?
mdp.39015063975935	How the hell do I know? mdp.39015063975935 How would you like to have that amazon hanging around your home sweet home?"
mdp.39015063975935	How's that for onions, young fella?
mdp.39015063975935	How's that?
mdp.39015063975935	How, then, does it come to be on the table? mdp.39015063975935 Humph?"
mdp.39015063975935	Hurt yourself?
mdp.39015063975935	I beg your pardon?
mdp.39015063975935	I gather that Captain Baldwin's men thought pretty highly of him, did n't they?
mdp.39015063975935	I have n't seen the General since that Brinstead case in Washington — remember that bird, General? mdp.39015063975935 I mean, you cautioned her to avoid exposing her- self any further to the possibility?"
mdp.39015063975935	I see,interrupted Jimmie, appraising Jenkins with his eyes,"and when you got there, how long was it before you decided to force an entrance?"
mdp.39015063975935	I see,resumed the General,"and when you dis- covered Colonel Kalendar had arrived for dinner, what did you do?"
mdp.39015063975935	I suppose you and Dot have been at it again?
mdp.39015063975935	I suppose you wonder how I get into these boots?' mdp.39015063975935 I thought you told me that you knew her well?"
mdp.39015063975935	I won- der where she was getting ready to sneak to?
mdp.39015063975935	I've got to have a few words with her, Major, ca n't you arrange it without publicity?
mdp.39015063975935	In what way?
mdp.39015063975935	Indians, eh? mdp.39015063975935 Is Dot here?"
mdp.39015063975935	Is he here?
mdp.39015063975935	Is it?
mdp.39015063975935	Is n't that what you were wondering?
mdp.39015063975935	Is that all, then?
mdp.39015063975935	Is that the knife with which Kalendar was mur- dered?
mdp.39015063975935	Is that you, Boodler?
mdp.39015063975935	Is that you, Hal?
mdp.39015063975935	Is that you, Hicks?
mdp.39015063975935	Is what going to keep up?
mdp.39015063975935	It could n't have been at two o'clock?
mdp.39015063975935	It's a natural thing to want, but it has n't worked so swell, has it? mdp.39015063975935 It's four now,"continued Jimmie,"can you get a car in a hurry?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jenkins, did you notice any lights in this house?
mdp.39015063975935	Just what did you find? mdp.39015063975935 Know what that is?"
mdp.39015063975935	Last night, Sergeant, when you entered the Baldwin quar- ters, was there anything that struck you as particu- larly peculiar?
mdp.39015063975935	Listen, Costain, what the hell's all the hurry? mdp.39015063975935 Listen, Doc, has that woman ever been to see you?"
mdp.39015063975935	Look here, Boodler,interrupted Baldwin,"ca n't you go about this thing decently — like a gen- tleman?"
mdp.39015063975935	Look here,[ 159] THE ARMY POST MURDERS Boodler, now that you have found the body, how much longer is this going to keep up?
mdp.39015063975935	May I come with her?
mdp.39015063975935	May I go now?
mdp.39015063975935	Me?
mdp.39015063975935	Meaning Colonel Kalendar?
mdp.39015063975935	Mrs. Baldwin, did you ask Colonel Kal- endar to dinner?
mdp.39015063975935	Mrs. Costain, what was Jennie Hugot doing at your house this afternoon?
mdp.39015063975935	Murder, you say, Costain, murder?
mdp.39015063975935	Names are funny things, are n't they? mdp.39015063975935 No, certainly not,"said Bowles, looking aston- ished,"but what do you want to stay in this dismal place for?"
mdp.39015063975935	No?
mdp.39015063975935	No?
mdp.39015063975935	Now tell me, Mrs. Baldwin, can you add any- thing to your husband's story?
mdp.39015063975935	Now what's the low down? mdp.39015063975935 Now, what the hell do you suppose she was doing there?"
mdp.39015063975935	Obviously done by the same person then?
mdp.39015063975935	Oh yeah?
mdp.39015063975935	Oh yeah?
mdp.39015063975935	Oh, he left?
mdp.39015063975935	Oh, no?
mdp.39015063975935	Oh, yeah? mdp.39015063975935 Oh, you left the house?"
mdp.39015063975935	Oh, you're not, eh? mdp.39015063975935 Really?
mdp.39015063975935	Really?
mdp.39015063975935	Saw what?
mdp.39015063975935	Say, young fella, what time does the next train leave that station of yours?
mdp.39015063975935	She's over there with him?
mdp.39015063975935	Sit down, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063975935	Sneak?
mdp.39015063975935	So the two of you stood on the porch, and talked over what you were going to do?
mdp.39015063975935	So you came back to clear up the matter, to tell the Colonel there had been a mistake?
mdp.39015063975935	Sorry you did it, are you?
mdp.39015063975935	Sort of late are n't you?
mdp.39015063975935	Such a blow as that?
mdp.39015063975935	Suppose he did? mdp.39015063975935 Suppose someone should come in — what would I do?"
mdp.39015063975935	Swept up, dusted, emptied all the ash- trays, I suppose?
mdp.39015063975935	Temper, you mean?
mdp.39015063975935	That I had asked him?
mdp.39015063975935	That the weapon?
mdp.39015063975935	The back door was locked too?
mdp.39015063975935	The kind Indians make comforters out of, eh?
mdp.39015063975935	Then during relief I gather the guard- house is quiet?
mdp.39015063975935	Then the Baldwins were over at your house?
mdp.39015063975935	Then what did you do?
mdp.39015063975935	Then what did you do?
mdp.39015063975935	Then what did you do?
mdp.39015063975935	Then where did you pick up the hat? mdp.39015063975935 Then why did you hold that fact back?"
mdp.39015063975935	Then you do n't know what Boodle is?
mdp.39015063975935	There, there, Dot, what's the use of upsetting yourself this way?
mdp.39015063975935	They are pretty good trackers, are n't they?
mdp.39015063975935	This is the cord from your birthday present, is n't it?
mdp.39015063975935	Very apropos, Mrs. Baldwin, but just what meaning is it intended to convey to me?
mdp.39015063975935	Was Baldwin heavily in debt?
mdp.39015063975935	Was Captain Costain over here at all during the day?
mdp.39015063975935	Was Colonel Kalendar going with her?
mdp.39015063975935	Was he alive?
mdp.39015063975935	Was he dead?
mdp.39015063975935	Was it his custom to go out without telling you?
mdp.39015063975935	Was it snowing when this happened?
mdp.39015063975935	Was n't that Kalendar's housekeeper?
mdp.39015063975935	Was that door locked, Corporal Finn?
mdp.39015063975935	Was that when you asked him about searching the house?
mdp.39015063975935	Was the package wrapped when he gave it to you?
mdp.39015063975935	We?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, Captain, what do you make of it?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, Doc, what's on your mind?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, Major,began Jimmie, throwing his hat on the table, and crossing to warm his hands at the stove,"what about it?"
mdp.39015063975935	Well, can you tie this?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, gentlemen,he began,"do you'think because it is Hallowe'en that you are privileged to play pranks?"
mdp.39015063975935	Well, how did you find out then?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, how did you know then whether or not to prepare meals?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, it's not much for a starter, is it?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, let me know if that woman recovers sufficiently for me to talk to her, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, what do you want?
mdp.39015063975935	Well, what luck?
mdp.39015063975935	Well?
mdp.39015063975935	Well?

mdp.39015063975935	Who searched the house, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063975935	Who was on before you?
mdp.39015063975935	Who went to the back door?
mdp.39015063975935	Why are you trembling?
mdp.39015063975935	Why did you do that?
mdp.39015063975935	Why did you do that?
mdp.39015063975935	Why did you tell me you had, then?
mdp.39015063975935	Why do you ask that?
mdp.39015063975935	Why do you say it like that?
mdp.39015063975935	Why not? mdp.39015063975935 Why not?"
mdp.39015063975935	Why not?
mdp.39015063975935	Why should I say anything? mdp.39015063975935 Why should you be afraid of him?"
mdp.39015063975935	Why, if your wife was dressed, did you go down- stairs to answer the door?
mdp.39015063975935	Why, why did we ever come over here? mdp.39015063975935 Why?"
mdp.39015063975935	Why?
mdp.39015063975935	Will you have something to drink?
mdp.39015063975935	Will you marry me, Dot, before I go?
mdp.39015063975935	Wo n't you sit down, Captain? mdp.39015063975935 Would n't you prefer to ride back here?"
mdp.39015063975935	Yeah? mdp.39015063975935 Yes, but what's the idea?"
mdp.39015063975935	Yes,commented Jimmie,"and the woman?"
mdp.39015063975935	You acted, then, as a secretary to him?
mdp.39015063975935	You answered the door?
mdp.39015063975935	You appear to be leaving,said Zabriski, nod- ding curtly toward the suitcase,"have you settled this affair?"
mdp.39015063975935	You did not see her?
mdp.39015063975935	You did see him then?
mdp.39015063975935	You do n't like him, do you?
mdp.39015063975935	You do n't want to get any deeper involved in these murders, do you?
mdp.39015063975935	You got home about quarter to six?
mdp.39015063975935	You had a hat when you went over to Bald- win's?
mdp.39015063975935	You had n't expected him?
mdp.39015063975935	You knew what?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean Jennie Hugot's in this mess?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean Kalendar's body?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean because it's your birthday?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean because of that confidential line you handed them before we left?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean he was a sadist?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean he's over there now?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean that this is connected with the mur- ders?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean the Costains?
mdp.39015063975935	You mean to tell me that Mrs. Costain came to his house every day to do work, and you have no idea what she was doing?
mdp.39015063975935	You must have been considerably shocked by the carnage you saw upstairs?
mdp.39015063975935	You never knew him before?
mdp.39015063975935	You on patrol duty here?
mdp.39015063975935	You said that after you entered the room, you thought you saw the Colonel move?
mdp.39015063975935	You say that Colonel Kalendar arrived at Baldwin's house unexpectedly?
mdp.39015063975935	You telephoned, Boodler, that you wanted to see me here?
mdp.39015063975935	You think she committed these murders?
mdp.39015063975935	You went over to the chair?
mdp.39015063975935	You've heard what's been said, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063975935	Your hat?
mdp.39015063975935	Your husband told you he was here?
mdp.39015063975935	Your wife?
mdp.39015063975935	... Is that you, Bowles?
mdp.39015063975935	.?"
mdp.39015063975935	?"
mdp.39015063975935	And friend husband sat in the background while his wife danced the jig?"
mdp.39015063975935	And make it snappy, will you, young fella?"
mdp.39015063975935	Anything else?"
mdp.39015063975935	Awful mess, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin turned in his chair, and looked at Jimmie,"What?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Baldwin?"
mdp.39015063975935	Boodler?"
mdp.39015063975935	Boodler?"
mdp.39015063975935	But do you think this beast is O.K.?"
mdp.39015063975935	But how do you get out of them?"
mdp.39015063975935	But how had it got there?
mdp.39015063975935	But remember one thing,"Jimmie lowered his voice,"I've never yet lost a case... see the point?"
mdp.39015063975935	Can you come right over?"
mdp.39015063975935	Can you prove that Costain did all this?
mdp.39015063975935	Can you send him?
mdp.39015063975935	Can you think of anything that might spring from other sources?
mdp.39015063975935	Captain Baldwin took off his belt and his blouse and tossed them on one of the twin beds,"What are you all dolled up for?"
mdp.39015063975935	Captain Baldwin, did you know that your neighbor here had peached on you?"
mdp.39015063975935	Colonel Kalendar did bring you that dagger for a birthday present, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063975935	Costain?"
mdp.39015063975935	Could there possibly have been anyone else?
mdp.39015063975935	Death instantaneous?"
mdp.39015063975935	Did n't you see him?"
mdp.39015063975935	Did you read it?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do n't you see what that would mean?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you expect me to believe a cock and bull story about a body being spirited away fifteen minutes after you saw it here — dead?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you have to ask him here?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you mean to say that both Baldwin and his wife have been done in?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you realize what that means?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you see now why he had them as pets?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you suppose the General would have any objections if I moved over here for a while?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you think I could get hold of them?"
mdp.39015063975935	Do you un- derstand that?
mdp.39015063975935	Do you want to drive me mad?
mdp.39015063975935	Do[ 162] THE SPINNING COMMENCES you understand that?
mdp.39015063975935	Ever been to West Point?"
mdp.39015063975935	For Christ's sake leave me alone, will you?
mdp.39015063975935	General Phipps made several futile attempts at badinage, only to be greeted with his wife's"Oh, Alonzo, how can you say such things?"
mdp.39015063975935	General Phipps moved briskly over to the door, and turning back said,"Coming Zabriski?"
mdp.39015063975935	Get some more logs, will you?
mdp.39015063975935	Get that?
mdp.39015063975935	Get that?"
mdp.39015063975935	Get that?"
mdp.39015063975935	Get the idea?"
mdp.39015063975935	Get the point?"
mdp.39015063975935	Hal stopped him in the doorway of the living room and said:'Do n't you think we had better fix up our story?'"
mdp.39015063975935	Has she said any- thing yet?"
mdp.39015063975935	Has she told you she saw Kalendar?"
mdp.39015063975935	Have a cup of coffee?"
mdp.39015063975935	Have you forgotten?"
mdp.39015063975935	Have you made a search for the body?"
mdp.39015063975935	He addressed Bowles:"Would you mind putting up the shades, and seeing if all the windows are locked?"
mdp.39015063975935	He knows Bowles, does n't he?"
mdp.39015063975935	He peered at Jimmie,"What has this command come to?
mdp.39015063975935	He turned to Costain,"Where ms Colonel Kalendar when you left?"
mdp.39015063975935	He was enormously friendly, and[ 98] THE ARMY POST MURDERS"Captain Costain,"Jimmie began,"how long have you known Colonel Kalendar?"
mdp.39015063975935	He was there with you?"
mdp.39015063975935	How are you, Jimmie?"
mdp.39015063975935	How did you like that nice friendly little gathering?"
mdp.39015063975935	How do you like your eggs, sunny side up, or over easy like me?"
mdp.39015063975935	How long have they been dead?"
mdp.39015063975935	How was the door locked, Sergeant Stubbs?"
mdp.39015063975935	How's your General?
mdp.39015063975935	How's yourself?
mdp.39015063975935	I do n't even know it's her knife, do you?"
mdp.39015063975935	I have no doubt that Mrs. Baldwin saw Kalendar frequently, but then what of that?
mdp.39015063975935	I sup- pose you and the men stayed upstairs for some time?"
mdp.39015063975935	I think we better fix this story up, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063975935	I'm glad, see?
mdp.39015063975935	If Kalendar opened it, who was in the room with him at the time?
mdp.39015063975935	Is n't it enough that the master has been murdered?
mdp.39015063975935	Is n't that natural?"
mdp.39015063975935	Is n't that true?"
mdp.39015063975935	Is n't that what you came down for?"
mdp.39015063975935	Is that the reason you take it into your head to dump me, all of a sudden?"
mdp.39015063975935	Is there nothing you can add to what you told General Phipps last night, and what I have just wrung out of you?"
mdp.39015063975935	Is this another one of these love triangles?
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie addressed Baldwin,"Will you corroborate what your wife has said?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie glared at the officer, but said nothing; then,"All right, Corporal, then what?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie looked quickly from one to the other,"And you, Captain Costain?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie raised his eyebrows in surprise,"Where are they?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie smiled, and then continued,"When you came downstairs, where was Captain Costain?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie turned again to the Hugot woman,"Does that ferret belong to the Colonel?"
mdp.39015063975935	Jimmie turned to Bowles,"Think you could sketch me a rough plan of that house, young fella?"
mdp.39015063975935	Know him intimately?"
mdp.39015063975935	Look at this manuscript; is n't it beautiful?"
mdp.39015063975935	M. W.[ 61] THE ARMY POST MURDERS"This is the room where the crime was com- mitted?"
mdp.39015063975935	May I come in?"
mdp.39015063975935	Nothing against him?
mdp.39015063975935	Now which is it?"
mdp.39015063975935	Now, ca n't you help me?
mdp.39015063975935	Now, tell me the truth; you and your wife had a row over Kalendar, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063975935	Phipps?"
mdp.39015063975935	Say, how many sets of houses are there between the Guard House and the Baldwins'?"
mdp.39015063975935	Shall we go on, gentle- men?"
mdp.39015063975935	She's there?
mdp.39015063975935	Still holding to her wrist he said,"Go to your room, and stay there, do you understand?"
mdp.39015063975935	Suddenly he stopped in front of Costain and said:"Would you mind giving me another of your cigarets?
mdp.39015063975935	Suppose she dies?
mdp.39015063975935	THE FIRST CLUE? 110 X.
mdp.39015063975935	That wo n't do, will it?"
mdp.39015063975935	That's what he did, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063975935	The General raised his eyebrows,"Did n't she know it?"
mdp.39015063975935	Then Jimmie spoke:"I remember as a kid read- ing about Comanche Indians — pretty tough bunch, were n't they?"
mdp.39015063975935	Then what is there for me to add?"
mdp.39015063975935	Then what?"
mdp.39015063975935	This plug I'm on wo n't cut up, will he?
mdp.39015063975935	Understand?"
mdp.39015063975935	Was he here alone?"
mdp.39015063975935	Were Colonel Kalendar and Mrs. Baldwin having an af- fair?"
mdp.39015063975935	What brand?"
mdp.39015063975935	What did you do yester- day?"
mdp.39015063975935	What do you mean, post number three?"
mdp.39015063975935	What do you think of that?"
mdp.39015063975935	What hap- pened to him, General?"
mdp.39015063975935	What have I discovered here this morning?
mdp.39015063975935	What have we to go on?
mdp.39015063975935	What is it?"
mdp.39015063975935	What made you think of a hat in a situation like that?"
mdp.39015063975935	What of it?"
mdp.39015063975935	What shall we do?"
mdp.39015063975935	What time did you say that board of officers is to meet?"
mdp.39015063975935	What's to be done about it?
mdp.39015063975935	When did Baldwin arrive?"
mdp.39015063975935	When may I expect him? — That's excellent.
mdp.39015063975935	Where do we eat?"
mdp.39015063975935	Where the devil was Bowles?
mdp.39015063975935	Where's Jerry?"
mdp.39015063975935	Where's the doctor?"
mdp.39015063975935	Who asked Kalendar over to the Baldwins'to dinner?"
mdp.39015063975935	Who can tell who is going to be bumped off next?
mdp.39015063975935	Who invited him?

nyp.33433074807516	Should I take him to task there and then, or would it be better to wait until I returned to the island and was properly settled into the house?
nyp.33433074807516	Should I try and get down without being seen, or should I make a reckless charge and leave the rest to providence?

nyp.33433074807516	The first thing he learned was that Gardiner was dead. ” “ How did he take it? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	Then, coming towards me, she added eagerly: “ But what are we waiting for?
nyp.33433074807516	Then, lighting another cigarette, I added: “ How long was it before de Roda discovered the truth? ’ ” “ It was two days after we landed.

nyp.33433074807516	Why are n't they standing on the quay waiting for us?
nyp.33433074807516	Why did he suddenly shut himself up on this island and treat the place as if it were a kind of fortress?
nyp.33433074807516	Why do n't we start at once? ” I got up from my chair.
nyp.33433074807516	Why not sum- mon Bascomb and have things out with him straight away?

nyp.33433074807516	Wo n't you come ashore? ” He stepped up lightly out of the boat, and shook my hand with a grip that certainly lacked nothing in heartiness.
nyp.33433074807516	You could n't find a better pair, not if you was to scratch'ell with a pocket- comb. ” “ Who's Craill? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	You do honestly believe that I am trying to act in your own interests? ” “ I trust you from the bottom of my heart, ” I answered simply.
nyp.33433074807516	“ A little curly- haired kid of about eleven, with blue eyes and a dirty face? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ And mebbe you'd rather wait till she comes before you give your order? ” “ Perhaps it would be safest, ” I admitted.
nyp.33433074807516	“ And what did he do with it when he'd got it? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ And what have you done with him? ” I enquired.

nyp.33433074807516	“ How about the receipt? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How about this evening? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How about to- morrow night? ” I said.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How about your launch, Bobby?
nyp.33433074807516	“ How are you actually situated with regard to money? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How are you getting on with that fellow of yours? ” enquired Manning, after a moment's silence.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How are you getting on? ” I asked, pulling up short.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How d'you do, Mr. Dryden? ” he said, offering me his hand.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How did he amuse himself?
nyp.33433074807516	“ How do you do? ” he said pleasantly.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How do you feel now? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How do you know? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How goes it? ” he enquired cheerily.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How is Señor de Roda this morning? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How long are you likely to be away? ” I shrugged my shoulders.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How long have I been here? ” Ross consulted his watch.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How on earth did you discover all that? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How was it he went off so quickly? ” “ It was through gettin'wet, sir.
nyp.33433074807516	“ How was it you could n't get on with him? ” Bascomb's face hardened again immediately.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I am going to take you back to Greensea, and fill you up on roast duck. ” “ What do you mean? ” he asked, letting go my arm.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I believe you have a man in your employment name of John Bascombe? ” A sudden feeling of impending tragedy tightened round my heart.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I believe you have a man in your employment name of John Bascombe? ” A sudden feeling of impending tragedy tightened round my heart.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I believe you have a room upstairs where you serve tea? ” “ That's right, sir, ” she replied encouragingly.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I hope he has n't heard any- thing about our adventures in the harbour? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I hope you found the place come up to what you expected? ” GREENSEA.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I scratched myself a bit getting through the hedge. ” “ But why are you here? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose I can get a trap at the inn to take me to Torrington? ” He nodded his head.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose I'm right in taking you for Mr. Dryden?
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose there is really no danger of our missing the ship? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose there'll be enough duck for two? ” He ran his eye over Bobby, as if speculating on the latter's appetite.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose they sell drink in this interesting ruin? ” “ Any amount of it, ” I replied, brushing off the dust from my coat.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose you know that he has a special reason for being interested in my affairs? ” She looked at me curiously.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose you will be importing servants if you are going to settle down here? ” he said.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I suppose you're the sort of boy who can keep his mouth shut? ” A reassuring nod was the prompt answer.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I was just beginning to be afraid they'd clapped you into the local dungeon. ” “ Anything fresh happened while I've been away? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ I ’ve seen something of what you've had to put up with. ” “ Oh, it was horrible, ” she whispered, “ but what could I do?
nyp.33433074807516	“ If he is n't up to some dirty business why did he make you that offer for the island?
nyp.33433074807516	“ If you mistrust him so much, what made you invite him to the island? ” “ I thought it would be a kind action, ” I explained.
nyp.33433074807516	“ In the basket? ” “ No, ” I explained.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Is he going to live with you on the island? ” “ I should like him to, ” I said, “ but I am afraid the Admiralty might object.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Is n't it a bit risky for both of us to be away at the same time? ” “ I reckon there wo n't be no risk, ” he replied grimly.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Is n't that the fellow who looks after his barge? ” Once again Bascomb nodded sourly.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Is this really yours, Jack? ” “ Every stick and stone of it, ” I said with some pride.
nyp.33433074807516	“ It ’s a damned good yarn, and you told it very nicely. ” “ Well, what do you make of it? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ It ’s even possible you might be in danger of your life. ” “ Is n't it just a little late to tell me that? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ It's all very well for me to make promises, but how can you expect me to keep them?
nyp.33433074807516	“ May I come and talk to you sometimes when I see you on deck? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ No, ” she answered, “ I am not angry with you; why should I be?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Not even to your own pals? ” “ Not me, ” he said stoutly.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Of course it has n't. ” “ Then why were you late? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Oh, you've waked up, have you? ” I said.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Promise me you will go straight back to the island as soon as you have taken me ashore? ” “ I am not going to take you ashore, ” I said.
nyp.33433074807516	“ South America? ” she repeated in a low whisper.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Tell me, Ross, ” I said, “ what do you make of it all?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Tell me, Ross, ” I said, “ what happened when I got on board?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Tell me, you old scoundrel, ” I said, “ did anyone except you and that confounded sailor see what was going on? ” He chuckled again.
nyp.33433074807516	“ The gen’leman lives on Greensea Island, do n't,'e, boys? ” There was a shrill chorus of assent from the two others.
nyp.33433074807516	“ The question is, ” I added, “ what the deuce am I to do next? ” “ The first thing to do is to get well, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074807516	“ The young lady who has come to live at “ The Laurels'? ” GREENSEA.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Those are Dutch tiles, are n't they? ” he said, bending forward to make a closer inspection.
nyp.33433074807516	“ To- night? ” “ It will be very soon, anyhow, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074807516	“ W'ere was you tryin'to get to, mate? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Was he all alone? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Was he off his chump? ” The lawyer shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Was n't it rather a relief to know that you were too late?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Was that where your uncle lived? ” “ It was where he lived, ” I said, “ and it was also where he died.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Was there anything the matter with the old one? ” “ It were n't big enough, ” explained Bascomb.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Well, if'e was straight an ’ above- board wot made'i m carry on like'e did?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Well, what do you think of it all? ” I asked Ross as soon as were left alone.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Well, ” I said encouragingly, “ what is it?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Well, ” I said encouragingly, “ what is it?
nyp.33433074807516	“ Well? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Were you awake? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What about the diamonds? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What are you doing? ” I said.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What are you going to do? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What do you know about him? ” She brought out the words almost reluctantly, as though half afraid of making some unwelcome dis- covery.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What do you mean “ if ”? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433074807516	“ What do you mean? ” “ Why, ” I said, “ it ’s only by the grace of heaven and an exceptionally thick skull that I happen to be here now.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What doctor? ” “ Doctor’Ayward of Torrington, ” was the answer.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What happened about the doctor? ” I asked, by way of covering my embarrassment.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What happened to them? ” “ Three of them were shot the next day, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What happens next? ” “ We go up to the house and have some lunch, ” I replied.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What have you done to your face? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What is it?
nyp.33433074807516	“ What is it?
nyp.33433074807516	“ What made you come?
nyp.33433074807516	“ What on earth could he have to be frightened of? ” The Inspector made a slight gesture with his hands.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What shall I order? ” I asked, as a tall, flaxen- haired lady advanced with dignity from behind the Counter.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What time is it? ” “ Nearly nine, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What time was it when the deceased left the island? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What was the matter with the doctor? ” I asked, after a moment's pause.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What's his name? ” “ Satan, sir. ” I turned to Ross.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What's the matter? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ What, Rio in Brazil? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ When did it'appen? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074807516	“ When did you first notice anything wrong? ” “ Well, sir, it's my belief that'e always'ad some notion of that sort at the back of'is mind.
nyp.33433074807516	“ When do you think I can expect the honour of a visit? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ When shall I expect you? ” GREENSEA.
nyp.33433074807516	“ When she arrives, would you be kind enough to tell her I'm here? ” “ To be sure I will, sir, ” was the affable answer.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Where can we go to? ” she asked, with a quick glance up and down the street.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Where did you come across him first? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Where did you meet her? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Where's that sunny- faced butler of yours? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Where's the sleuth- hound? ” I stepped out, clasping the hamper in my arms.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Who d'yer think? ” he demanded hoarsely.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Who did it, Bascomb? ” I said at last.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Who is it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Who is it? ” I enquired with some curiosity.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Who was Mr. Richard Jannaway? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Why do you think that? ” I asked as coolly as possible.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Why do you think that? ” I persisted.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Why not bring a bag and stay the night? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Why not, Christine? ” I pleaded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Why, did n't you know he was here? ” she asked, in a surprised voice.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Will you be back to lunch, sir? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Will you want me, sir? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Wo n't you have a cigar? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Wot,'er with the pretty faice? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Would you advise me not to go there at all? ” I asked deliberately.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You do n't suppose I'm going to let you be wiped out while you've got a cellar full of port like this? ” He paused.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You have n't gone mad by any chance, I suppose, Jack? ” he enquired casually.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You live on Greensea Island? ” repeated Bobby, staring at me.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You mean Manning? ” The words came out mechanically.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You mean to live there — alone? ” “ It depends how I get along with the dog and the prize- fighter, ” I said.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You must be getting a little tired of the Neptune, are n't you? ” “ She has lost some of her first charm, ” I admitted frankly.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You never actually met him? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You remember a chap called Dr. Manning — the fellow who looked after my uncle when he was dying? ” Once again the Inspector nodded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You see the idea, Dryden? ” he remarked, turn- ing to me.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You see, the more one expects the greater the disappointment. ” “ Who was your uncle? ” she asked, after a moment's silence.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You think we shall catch them, then? ” “ Of course we shall, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You wo n't be wantin'to get rid of'i m? ” “ Not likely, ” I said, with some feeling.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You ’re not very good at riddles, are you, Jack?"
nyp.33433074807516	“ You ’ve come along to stay with Commander Dean, I sup- pose? ” she added.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You ’ve not been in these parts for some time, sir? ” he hazarded.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You ’ve traced him? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You'll get it all right, guv'nor; you can trust me for that. ” “ And do n't talk about it to anybody, will you, Jimmy? ” I added.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You're Mr. Dry- den, I suppose? ” I shipped my sculls and stepped up on to the land- ing- stage, followed by Ross.
nyp.33433074807516	“ You've found out who he is? ” Campbell pulled open a drawer in the table beside him and took out a piece of paper.
nyp.33433074807516	“ Your uncle, you know, would n't have anyone else on the island except that one man of his. ” “ What do you think of Bascomb? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074807516	“'Ow about visitors? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074811534	- “ A little — in the park, Monsieur. ” “ May I come with you? ” Marie was more surprised now than she was em- barrassed.
nyp.33433074811534	A MILLION DOLLARS 25I “ Where is she to- night? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	A MILLION DOLLARS I79 “ Are you chilly, child? ” she asked as if looking at her and speaking to her to soothe her feelings.
nyp.33433074811534	A MILLION DOLLARS Io?
nyp.33433074811534	A relation?
nyp.33433074811534	All her features are small but very full of fun. ” “ How old a woman? ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent de- manded.
nyp.33433074811534	Allen Colfax gave me a bad name, did he? ” “ He is quite too despicable to be noticed by any one, Madame! ” Marie declared warmly.
nyp.33433074811534	And his family would hang their heads in shame; perhaps in court they themselves would be held responsible?
nyp.33433074811534	And it ’s a good thing I did, for — ” “ Has she gone? ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent inter- rupted.
nyp.33433074811534	And what was she going to do about West?
nyp.33433074811534	And who knows?
nyp.33433074811534	And why close it when you are about to go? ” West made no answer.
nyp.33433074811534	And yet, when she considered the thing, was it so astonishing?
nyp.33433074811534	And you, West? ” “ I can give you a check for fifty thousand at any moment. ” “ We shall be ready for them then, ” Haslett said.
nyp.33433074811534	Any other attempt, and I shall put him behind the bars! ” “ And you ’ll stand for this? ” Haslett asked West.
nyp.33433074811534	Because of that woman she was being urged and frightened into leaving, was she?
nyp.33433074811534	Brant- Olwin possibly? ” he retorted with sar- CaSIT1.
nyp.33433074811534	But Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent persisted grimly, “ Uses bad grammar? ” Marie was anxious not to be disparaging.
nyp.33433074811534	But West said with quick pleasure, “ Will I walk with you?
nyp.33433074811534	But perhaps much of what Colfax had told her about Breck was not true, all that past history?
nyp.33433074811534	But this way of looking and speaking?
nyp.33433074811534	But where could she go?
nyp.33433074811534	But where?
nyp.33433074811534	But why no outcry?
nyp.33433074811534	But why should he care to tell her about them?
nyp.33433074811534	But, Willetts, why should Breck want that puppy?
nyp.33433074811534	Ca n't you see how it would be?
nyp.33433074811534	Did he think she was some ignorant servant girl?
nyp.33433074811534	Did her head hurt her?
nyp.33433074811534	Did you see how she looked at Breck? ” West's face grew grave.
nyp.33433074811534	Did you sleep all right last night?
nyp.33433074811534	Do you know why I wanted that dress of yours, Marie? ” It seemed to Marie that a year had passed since the forgotten incident.
nyp.33433074811534	Do you like a garden?
nyp.33433074811534	Go at once and forget Kent House and every one in it. ” “ Monsieur —? ” In her surprise and distress, Marie stood up, the dog clutched close.
nyp.33433074811534	Has n't Haslett ever suggested it? ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent hesitated.
nyp.33433074811534	Have you any girl's clothes, Angouleme? ” Marie was surprised by the sudden change of sub- ject.
nyp.33433074811534	He might have had a pur- pose?
nyp.33433074811534	Her throat ached; why did he hang his head like that?
nyp.33433074811534	How do you feel? ” Marie had hoped that there would be the note of kindness in Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent's voice.
nyp.33433074811534	I am afraid I slept without any regard for you who have watched so kindly. ” “ Hungry, are you?
nyp.33433074811534	I could not help seeing in your window. ” “ How long were you there?
nyp.33433074811534	I gave my consent to his doing it — it was his advice. ” “ What did Breck say? ” West asked scarcely above his breath.
nyp.33433074811534	I guess he wished some of his troubles on you as well, did n't he?
nyp.33433074811534	I have been in steamers only. ” “ May I have the Amy Bell put in shape, Aunt Bulah? ” West asked.
nyp.33433074811534	I intend to give her something — if I A MILLION DOLLARS 93 may have a glass and a little water?
nyp.33433074811534	I suppose there are no signs of a return? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074811534	I think they brought the spring, and who could be ill in so lovely weather? ” West's gaze swept her admiringly.
nyp.33433074811534	I thought you were going to lie down this afternoon? ” He did know then.
nyp.33433074811534	I told you I was going, did n't I? ” “ I do n't remember — I suppose you did.
nyp.33433074811534	I ’d like to go to Canada — what do you think of that, Marie?
nyp.33433074811534	I'm sorry to disturb you, but are you all right? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811534	If he had been pleasant to her, they might have thought wrong things?
nyp.33433074811534	In the confusion of preparations for the party, who would notice how many trunks or boxes A MILLION DOLLARS 3I5 Bella had sent away?
nyp.33433074811534	In time she would win the respect of the entire Dunbarton- Kent household; to honesty and de- termination were not all things possible?
nyp.33433074811534	Into the hall?
nyp.33433074811534	Is it not so, Monsieur? ” The color surged into Breck's face.
nyp.33433074811534	Is it not so? ” West said nothing; he looked down, for the moment his expression as stern as his cousin's.
nyp.33433074811534	Is the note genuine? ” “ It seems so to me. ” She slipped it into West's hand.
nyp.33433074811534	It makes me sick — it's putting a premium on crime — but is n't it the only way out for us?
nyp.33433074811534	It was West who called, “ May I come up? ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent went out hurriedly to the landing and closed the door behind her.
nyp.33433074811534	It was she? ” Marie said.
nyp.33433074811534	It would make a fascinating entertainment for children, would n't it? ” Marie looked at him wide- eyed, thoroughly inter- ested now.
nyp.33433074811534	It's all very well, I suppose, but a little soap and water wo n't do you any harm while I go and call up Gibbs. ”- “ But your luncheon, Madame?
nyp.33433074811534	It's reported Mrs. Brant- Olwin is in Florida, but is she? ” “ I know positively that she is in Florida, ” the man reiterated.
nyp.33433074811534	Kiss me — please? ” But she bent her head and he kissed only her hair.
nyp.33433074811534	Let's take hands and run away from the wind?
nyp.33433074811534	My gar- age does n't please you, eh?
nyp.33433074811534	Not let him come near you or speak to you? ” “ I do not need to promise that — I will never speak to him again — I could not.
nyp.33433074811534	Not stay at Kent House? ” he asked urgently.
nyp.33433074811534	Nothing has happened to frighten you? ” “ Oh, no, Monsieur!
nyp.33433074811534	Now, here's your muff — will you come for it? ” “ I think not, Monsieur. ” The half- serious laughter in her eyes had lodged in his.
nyp.33433074811534	Now, what are you going to eat? ” “ Almost anything, please, Madame. ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent chuckled.
nyp.33433074811534	Of what is it I think so profoundly? ” she asked with determined lightness.
nyp.33433074811534	On what day had she arrived in New York?
nyp.33433074811534	Passengers must have entered, Marie thought, possibly some one for the upper berth?
nyp.33433074811534	Perhaps by some means Mrs. Smith had com- pelled him to do it?
nyp.33433074811534	Perhaps that was the reason Breck had acted so queerly?
nyp.33433074811534	Perhaps the reason he was able to smile was because he did not have to live in Kent House?
nyp.33433074811534	Perhaps there had been no wrong reason for Breck's going to Mrs. Smith's house that night?
nyp.33433074811534	Perhaps you can tell to whom it belongs? ” She was white and quivering, and her eyes were ablaze.
nyp.33433074811534	Quite able to see a face staring at her over the wall?
nyp.33433074811534	She and Colfax plotting for money?
nyp.33433074811534	She could not imagine her loving any- body or being beloved by any one; what man would want to caress such a woman or send her flowers?
nyp.33433074811534	She looks and talks like a French girl, the better educated sort — the thing is, who has put her up to this and why?
nyp.33433074811534	Smith has done pretty well, has n’t she- behind your back?
nyp.33433074811534	Stolen?
nyp.33433074811534	Tell me — do you love my cousin, West? ” It was an abrupt question shot at her from beneath keenly observant eyes, and Marie flamed scarlet.
nyp.33433074811534	That I have not allowed you to consume time in order that your capture may be the more certain?
nyp.33433074811534	That I would not telephone to the house of Mrs. Brant- Olwin and talk with her detec- tive?
nyp.33433074811534	That always I will be treated in this manner? ” “ I would go, if I were you — at once.
nyp.33433074811534	The important thing is to get the jewels. ” “ But will we get them?
nyp.33433074811534	Then she began to think of the future: she could not stay at Kent House; how could she endure the misery of it?
nyp.33433074811534	Then with grim amusement: “ It ’ll be a sur- prise to some people, but why not get a little fun out of life?
nyp.33433074811534	They say — ” “ I hope your wife's in better health? ” Mrs. Dun- barton- Kent interrupted with an ill- concealed note of exasperation.
nyp.33433074811534	To fuss among flowers? ” “ My aunt at St. Felix had a most lovely garden — I worked in it often.
nyp.33433074811534	To the front door?
nyp.33433074811534	Was every meal like this one?
nyp.33433074811534	Was it possible that he was in search of that fearful creature on the train?
nyp.33433074811534	Was it possible, could it be possible that Bella was Mrs. Smith?
nyp.33433074811534	Was she going to be reminded forever of that hateful experience on the train?
nyp.33433074811534	Were you not? ” He scrutinized her intently.
nyp.33433074811534	What did he do? ” Marie's eyes lost their softness.
nyp.33433074811534	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433074811534	What do you mean? ” “ Will you please believe me and go?
nyp.33433074811534	What do you mean? ” “ Will you please believe me and go?
nyp.33433074811534	What do you think of him? ” Marie tried to explain very carefully and yet truth- fully.
nyp.33433074811534	What do you think of it? ” “ It's the thing to do, ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent said decidedly.
nyp.33433074811534	What do you want of me? ” Hulked in her chair and with a red light in her small brown eyes, Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent resembled a suspicious bear.
nyp.33433074811534	What harm could it do?
nyp.33433074811534	What has happened? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	What has happened? ” “ It is not a- happening, ” Marie returned with an attempt at dignity.
nyp.33433074811534	What right had he to question in this way?
nyp.33433074811534	What train had she taken out of Buf- falo?
nyp.33433074811534	What was the dreadful experience during the war which had “ made a lonely sort ” of him?
nyp.33433074811534	What was the matter with them?
nyp.33433074811534	Who Was it? ” “ It was Mademoiselle Bella — Dunbarton- Kent. ” “ You ’re mistaken, ” Colfax said more quietly.
nyp.33433074811534	Who then had got into the garage in that slick way — and swiped the puppy, of all things?
nyp.33433074811534	Why did Bella's height and long lines remind her con- stantly of Mrs. Smith?
nyp.33433074811534	Why do they treat Mr. Breck Dunbarton- Kent as they do, and also why does he act so strangely? ” Colfax looked nonplussed.
nyp.33433074811534	Why do they treat you as they do?
nyp.33433074811534	Why had Breck taken the dog away?
nyp.33433074811534	Why not the porter called?
nyp.33433074811534	Why should she not do as she had planned in the morning?
nyp.33433074811534	Why were they there?
nyp.33433074811534	Why, to murder intention- ally — or intentionally to injure a helpless creature — ” “ And next? ” he asked in the same even way.
nyp.33433074811534	Will you promise me to keep close to Aunt Bulah?
nyp.33433074811534	Will you try to love me, Marie? ” Marie looked at the hand he laid on her arm, then up into his earnest face.
nyp.33433074811534	Would it be possible for Bella to play such a part and her family not discover it?
nyp.33433074811534	Yet how was it possible to tell?
nyp.33433074811534	You know now that you have one friend at Kent House, do n't you? ” “ I hope so indeed, Monsieur — that is why I am happy.
nyp.33433074811534	You know that I ’m speaking for your own good, do n't you, dear? ” There was forceful earnestness in every word he had uttered.
nyp.33433074811534	You were all of you determined to think Breck the thief — with his record, what use was there of his deny- ing it?
nyp.33433074811534	You were n't at the garage when I called up first? ” Marie courtesied.
nyp.33433074811534	You're not going to make her unhappy? ” he begged.
nyp.33433074811534	You're worried over this girl too, are n't you? ” “ You heard what she said. ” A MILLION DOLLARS 43 His eyes grew merry.
nyp.33433074811534	You've kept her, of course? ” “ Yes — it seemed the only thing to do.
nyp.33433074811534	You've never had much illness, have you? ” A MILLION DOLLARS Io9 “ In my recollection I have had the mumps only.
nyp.33433074811534	“ A pretty girl like you in New York and no beau? ” he said teasingly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Am I a criminal that your people speak to me with eyes turned away and even the servants run from me?
nyp.33433074811534	“ And he? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ And in all that time, no lover who legged to be a husband, little Marie? ” he asked softly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ And shake hands? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Are you ambitious, Angouleme? ” “ I think I am more ambitious than almost anything else, ” Marie answered promptly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Are you conjuring the birds, Marie? ” a voice be- hind her asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Are you going for a walk? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Are you going to give her something to make her sleep?
nyp.33433074811534	“ But perhaps I ’m telling you things you already know? ” Marie's soft wide eyes had assimilated his informa- tion.
nyp.33433074811534	“ But why such a name, Monsieur? ” “ What do you think the most vicious crime in the calender? ” he demanded abruptly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ But why such a name, Monsieur? ” “ What do you think the most vicious crime in the calender? ” he demanded abruptly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ But, Monsieur?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Correct? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Did n't I tell you, you were to turn into a girl?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Did they, child?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Did you go into his house? ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent demanded.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Do others than yourself have the key to this place? ” “ Yes, there are several keys.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Do you wish to stop at the farm? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Gibbs, I suppose? ” she said.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Has he ever made love to you, child? ” “ Never, Madame.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Has you seen the lady what was in that berth? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Have n't I told you all along that being made out accomplices is our danger?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Have you done much sailing? ” “ Never, Monsieur.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Have you had no trace of them yet? ” She made a moue.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Have you lost your senses? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074811534	“ He told you Kent House was a good place to come, did n't he, little girl? ” Marie was swept by relief, and anger as well.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Hope I did n't hurt you? ” 278 THE ROMANCE OF “ No, no! ” Marie said, though her arm ached.
nyp.33433074811534	“ How are you feeling? ” he asked, evidently desirous of lingering as long as possible; Marie looked flushed and vivid, a tempting vision.
nyp.33433074811534	“ How could he?
nyp.33433074811534	“ How do you feel toward him, child?
nyp.33433074811534	“ How is she? ” “ Her shoulder is well again, ” she said more brightly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ How old did you say you were? ” she asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ I do not under- I40 THE ROMANCE OF stand why I am insulted'Why am I called a detective?
nyp.33433074811534	“ I felt that I had kept you waiting. ” “ And you're ready now? ” West was studying her intently.
nyp.33433074811534	“ I know, West, ” she said distressedly, “ but where could she go where she would be as safe as she is here?
nyp.33433074811534	“ I love her, Aunt Bulah — ca n't you understand? ” He was tensely earnest.
nyp.33433074811534	“ I suppose you were asleep?
nyp.33433074811534	“ I want you to tell me then, child, truthfully and honestly — do you love my nephew, Breck? ” That question was utterly unexpected.
nyp.33433074811534	“ I was thinking, Madame, that if you wished invitations to be written for your party, I might be able to help? ” Marie offered.
nyp.33433074811534	“ If you wo n’t ride, will you walk with me to- morrow, Miss Marie? ” I82 THE ROMANCE OF He was very persistent, Marie thought.
nyp.33433074811534	“ In danger?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Is it not so, that love should be, Monsieur? ” West made a quickly restrained movement, hands raised to touch her, then withheld.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Is that you, Haslett? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ It does not displease you, Madame? ” “ You ’ll do, ” Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent returned with pleased brevity.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Like it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Marie, will you marry me — will you go with me to- day — let me take you away from all this?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Marie, ” she said A MILLION DOLLARS I93 gravely, “ you know, do n't you, that I am very fond of you and would stand by you in any trouble?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Monsieur — why do you make of me so strange a request? ” “ Because you are in danger. ” Her eyes dilated.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Monsieur, tell me what this trouble is?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Of what business of mine is it?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Oh, you are You'd marry money, would you — if you had the chance? ” Marie flushed.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Only stunned — the cut wo n't amount to anything, ” the doctor said, and then Breck asked, ‘ Can she talk?'
nyp.33433074811534	“ Perhaps he and the Smith woman will leave, Willetts? ” “ I do n't think so, Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Please, Madame, may I be permitted to put my own room in order? ” she begged.
nyp.33433074811534	“ See? ” he said.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Shake hands with me, please?
nyp.33433074811534	“ So Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent told you? ” “ About that experience?
nyp.33433074811534	“ So Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent told you? ” “ About that experience?
nyp.33433074811534	“ So some one wished the dog on you, did he?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Some one knocked, West? ” “ I ’ll go, ” he said.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Tell me, small person, what did you say to my cousin Bella that sent her flying out into the wind?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Well — why not? ” he decided.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Well?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Well? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Well? ” “ Miss Angora Lamb. ” Marie saw the smile dawn in his eyes then creep slowly over his face, as if struggling with stiff muscles.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What are you going to do?
nyp.33433074811534	“ What are you talking about? ” “ Talk for talk, Mademoiselle.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What do you look like under that coat? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What do you mean? ” “ He made Breck the offer — after we talked, the morning after Marie was hurt. ” “ No p. “ Yes, he did.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What do you think of it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What does he mean by this? ” she asked scarcely above her breath.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What is it?
nyp.33433074811534	“ What is it? ” West asked surprised, and Marie an- swered involuntarily.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What was the matter with the car?
nyp.33433074811534	“ What's happened? ” Willetts demanded.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What's the matter? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What's the matter? ” “ It is — Mrs.
nyp.33433074811534	“ What? ” Marie asked, startled by his tone.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Where now? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Which one will she wish to drive to- day? ” Marie asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Who is it? ” A MILLION DOLLARS I9I “ Have you gone to bed? ” It was Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent's voice.

nyp.33433074811534	“ Who is that stunning- looking man just coming in?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Who- is it? ” she asked with a caught breath.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Why did they fight in the park, Madame, and who brought me here?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Why have n't you married? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Will you close the door? ” he said thickly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Will you go with me?
nyp.33433074811534	“ Yes, Monsieur — but why —? ” “ Is that puppy with you? ” he interrupted.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Yes, Monsieur — but why —? ” “ Is that puppy with you? ” he interrupted.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Yes. ” She was thinking, “ How did it get here? ” “ So this is where they —! ” He caught himself up.
nyp.33433074811534	“ Yes?
nyp.33433074811534	“ You have a trunk, I suppose? ” “ Yes, Madame — at the boarding- house in the city. ” “ Very well — I’ll send for it.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You really feel all right again? ” West asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You think it would be best for me to leave this place?
nyp.33433074811534	“ You took his din- ner up to him — how does he look? ” Gibbs turned on her.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You — you wished a chauffeur — Madame? ” Marie faltered.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You ’ll go, wo n't you? ” “ What I shall do — I do not know at all, ” Marie an- swered lifelessly.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You ’ll stay with her to- night, wo n't you? ” he asked with a touch of appeal.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You ’re certain? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811534	“ You ’re not? ” She shrugged suddenly, then sighed, then sprang up.
nyp.33433074938212	Btey?
nyp.33433074938212	But you ai n't really going?

nyp.33433074919345	... She died, you say, in her sleep? ” “ In her sleep, ” replied the sexton, shaking off Luke's hold.
nyp.33433074919345	And what were Sybil's emotions?
nyp.33433074919345	And wherein lies the difference?

nyp.33433074919345	Can I doubt, when I behold this result?
nyp.33433074919345	Can neither answer to my call?
nyp.33433074919345	Did he kill her? ” And Luke stared at the sexton as if he would have looked into his secret soul., But the sexton was not easily fathomed.
nyp.33433074919345	Did not the phantom bid me return? — I have returned — he is dead.

nyp.33433074919345	His end was sudden, yet not without a warning sign. ” “ What warning? ” inquired Luke.
nyp.33433074919345	How came they to evade the hand of justice?
nyp.33433074919345	How could it be otherwise?
nyp.33433074919345	How was it they escaped punishment?
nyp.33433074919345	I should never dream of complying with such conditions. ” “ Comply with what conditions? ” exclaimed Ranulph, start- ing.
nyp.33433074919345	Is life nothing?
nyp.33433074919345	Is there aught we can look upon, that can awaken similar feelings of terror, of admiration?
nyp.33433074919345	Is there nothing of the Rookwood about me? ” As Lady Rookwood gazed at him, her heart acknowledged the truth of his assertion.
nyp.33433074919345	Look at it, I say: can you look and longer doubt?
nyp.33433074919345	My brother Lionel has been here. ” “ Well? ” “ Nay, look not so.

nyp.33433074919345	There is no deception in this; no trickery — hah? ”- “ It doth not look like it; that sinew must have been con- tracted in life.
nyp.33433074919345	This is a poor subterfuge; could you not have vamped up something better?
nyp.33433074919345	What are you — devil or woman, that ask me to do this Luke Brad- ley, I say. ” “ Would you betray me? ” cried Lady Rookwood.
nyp.33433074919345	What but fate?
nyp.33433074919345	What does it signify what he says?
nyp.33433074919345	What spectacle is there so mag- nificently beautiful — so awful — so sublime?
nyp.33433074919345	Whence come they? ” “ They have ridden, I understand, from Rookwood, ” answer- ed the Patrico.
nyp.33433074919345	Where have they put the prisoner? ” asked Peter, with a sudden change of manner.
nyp.33433074919345	Where is my mother? ”- “ Lady Rookwood is, I believe, in her own room, ” replied Titus.
nyp.33433074919345	Who dares now whisper, That dares not then speak out; and even proclaim, With loud words, and broad pens, our closest shame?
nyp.33433074919345	Whose son art thou then 4 ” “ Whose?

nyp.33433074919345	will nothing rouse you? ” and Vavasour spat upon his brother's cheek;- Sir Reginald's eyes blazed.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Ag- nes, is it you? ” demanded Lady Rookwood, 93 Thus summoned, the old attendant entered the room.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Ay, there, ” cried the sexton, extending a skinny finger, “ thou hast hit it. ” “ What have I done? ” exclaimed Luke, recoiling.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Can the dead indeed hear? ” he shudderingly added.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Fiend'mock me not. ”** “ Why should I?

nyp.33433074919345	“ Have I not done his bidding? ” “ Whose bidding, my good young friend? ” asked Small, surprised at the question.
nyp.33433074919345	“ How did he learn it?
nyp.33433074919345	“ How, ruffian, will you detain me? ” “ By showing you the danger of departure, ” said Luke.
nyp.33433074919345	“ I ’ll go your halves. ” “ What's the matter? ” exclaimed Small, awakened from his doze.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Is he dead? ” Sir Reginald turned away.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Seest thou nothing upon that finger? ” “ I see something shine.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Shall I follow, ” thought Luke, “ and run the risk of fallin into the keeper's hand, just at this crisis, too?
nyp.33433074919345	“ Sir Ranulph here? ” echoed Palmer.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Villain! ” gasped Hugh, ineffectually struggling to free himself, “ you will not murder me? ” And his efforts were desperate.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Was it so 7"— “ May be. ” “ And was it to tell me this you brought me hither?
nyp.33433074919345	“ What am I about to do? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074919345	“ What can this mean? ” exclaimed he.
nyp.33433074919345	“ What do you want, rascal? ” inquired Coates, from with- out.
nyp.33433074919345	“ What hast thou done?
nyp.33433074919345	“ What have you done with the body?
nyp.33433074919345	“ What means that horrible gleam of laughter? ” exclaimed Luke, grasping his shoulder with such force as nearly to anni- hilate the man of graves.
nyp.33433074919345	“ What think you of the night, Mr. Palmer? ” asked the Sexton, of Jack, for he was the anxious investigator of the weather.
nyp.33433074919345	“ What would you do? ” exclaimed Lady Rookwood.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Where is the bird? ” asked Turpin.
nyp.33433074919345	“ Where, then, lies Sir Reginald's younger brother? ” “ Who? ” exclaimed Peter, starting.

nyp.33433074919345	“ Why, for mere astime, should I take away yon noble creature ’s life, when is carcass would be utterly useless to me?
nyp.33433074919345	“ With what? ” asked Mrs. Mowbray.

nyp.33433074919345	“ You have heard what he says? ” “ I have; ” answered he, mournfully.
nyp.33433074872437	- Yes?
nyp.33433074872437	AFTER THE FACT 141 “ Oh, come, ” said I, “ if we ca n’t have our joke what can we have?
nyp.33433074872437	And for what port in all the world were we bound?
nyp.33433074872437	And if so, was I bound to keep my promise?
nyp.33433074872437	And what do you think he said in it?
nyp.33433074872437	And what have I made? ” cried the unhappy girl, in a 212 SOME PERSONS UNKNOWN relapse as sudden as her resolve.

nyp.33433074872437	But what do you think?
nyp.33433074872437	But where were we – through the Heads?

nyp.33433074872437	Could it be nothing but coincidence after all?

nyp.33433074872437	I had time to think plenty, last night! ” “ Could n't you sleep? ” “ Not a wink in the night.
nyp.33433074872437	I hardly expected you so soon — if at all! ” “ Do you remember my word? ” said I meaningly, for his coolness irritated me beyond measure.

nyp.33433074872437	No?
nyp.33433074872437	O where are you going to, my pretty maid?
nyp.33433074872437	Oh, can you wonder that men grow worse out here, if that is all you expect of them?
nyp.33433074872437	Only let me go! ” “ Go where? ” “ To the township — anywhere!
nyp.33433074872437	Please forgive me, dear father. ” “ I hope there is nothing the matter? ” “ Nothing at all. ”- “ That's right.
nyp.33433074872437	Punish is a jolly word, is n’t it?
nyp.33433074872437	Remem- ber what you told me?
nyp.33433074872437	Say now — have you never heard him all this time? ” He had paused, with his head bent and on one side.
nyp.33433074872437	See? ” “ My dear boy!
nyp.33433074872437	Shall I open the window? ” “ Not at all, not at all.
nyp.33433074872437	Should I ever see it again, I wondered, with the straight streets sloping to its brink?
nyp.33433074872437	Should I make as good over yonder?
nyp.33433074872437	Should I meet him at the courts?
nyp.33433074872437	Should he go home a married man, or should he see his time- serving friends to the deuce and never go home at all?
nyp.33433074872437	Spend it?
nyp.33433074872437	Surely I ’ve been here long enough?
nyp.33433074872437	The sergeant tells me — ” “ Which sergeant? ” I shouted.
nyp.33433074872437	The yarn about Ned Kelly's son?
nyp.33433074872437	Then why do n’t you move? ” The eldest boy shuffled awkwardly in his place.
nyp.33433074872437	They ’ll see to that! ” “ Will they? ” Kenyon made a wistful pause.
nyp.33433074872437	Was any of you jokers in the township then?
nyp.33433074872437	Was he coming too?
nyp.33433074872437	Was her head too low?
nyp.33433074872437	Was she also in love with the at- tractive scamp?
nyp.33433074872437	Well, we pay everything by cheque up here, d'you see?
nyp.33433074872437	What am I to do?
nyp.33433074872437	What am I to do? ” Ferrers pushed the wooden box into the doorway where she stood leaning heavily against the jamb.
nyp.33433074872437	What are you grinning at, Ethel?
nyp.33433074872437	What are you looking out of the window for?
nyp.33433074872437	What could the song be to him, if you were nothing?
nyp.33433074872437	What did he do?
nyp.33433074872437	What else could you expect?
nyp.33433074872437	What makes you think he did not? ” “ He never stopped on his way back. ” “ Not — opposite? ” « No. ” The girl ’s heart danced.
nyp.33433074872437	What makes you think he did not? ” “ He never stopped on his way back. ” “ Not — opposite? ” « No. ” The girl ’s heart danced.
nyp.33433074872437	What would he do?
nyp.33433074872437	What's the use of being honest?
nyp.33433074872437	What's wrong?
nyp.33433074872437	Where did I see the Sportsman?
nyp.33433074872437	Where's the money?
nyp.33433074872437	Who was he at all?
nyp.33433074872437	Who'd have believed he ’d try the same game twice?
nyp.33433074872437	Who's afraid of a Duke like him?
nyp.33433074872437	Why have you hooked it?
nyp.33433074872437	Why not stand in yourself?
nyp.33433074872437	Why remind me of it, my love? ” “ Because that's what ails Ida.
nyp.33433074872437	Why should he mind?
nyp.33433074872437	Why then this change in Deedes?
nyp.33433074872437	Will you come in? ” “ No, ” I said.
nyp.33433074872437	Will you trust me? ” “ Most gratefully. ” She had need to be grateful.
nyp.33433074872437	Wo n’t you sit down?
nyp.33433074872437	Would he come forth alone — or alive?
nyp.33433074872437	Would he know whom the letter was from?
nyp.33433074872437	Would n’t you like to be in his shoes?
nyp.33433074872437	Yet what is this country for, if not to give the wicked and the weak another chance, a fresh start?
nyp.33433074872437	You do n’t mean to say he bores you?
nyp.33433074872437	You heard me?
nyp.33433074872437	You know him — you can understand?
nyp.33433074872437	You know the game we had, the night before you went, last summer?
nyp.33433074872437	You may trust me to hold my tongue. ” THE MAGIC CIGAR 177 “ My good fellow, why should you?
nyp.33433074872437	You might be able, perhaps. ” “ Why do you say it like that? ” “ Shall I tell you, old fellow?
nyp.33433074872437	You might be able, perhaps. ” “ Why do you say it like that? ” “ Shall I tell you, old fellow?
nyp.33433074872437	You must avoid the township at all costs. ” “ How can I? ” “ By striking the road much lower down.
nyp.33433074872437	You understand?
nyp.33433074872437	and did he know in the least who I was, or where to lay hands on me?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Am I speaking to Mr. Evan Evans? ” “ That is the name I — write stories under. ” “ Exactly.
nyp.33433074872437	“ And I? ” she asked him.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Are you positive? ” “ Quite.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Bitten again? ” inquired Sam Eccles, genially.
nyp.33433074872437	“ But what in the world, Miss Winfrey, are you doing here? ” cried Mr. Pickering, after a rather closer scrutiny than was perhaps ideal.
nyp.33433074872437	“ But you — you ’ll never go and give a chap away, Beetle? ” “ You ’ll give yourself away if you do n’t get under that this instant.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Do n’t you feel as if we ’d been wrecked together on a desert island?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Do you hear me?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Do you think he'll talk to us? ” was one of the thousand questions which Ethel had to answer.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Doing the trick, ” he cried; “ not finding out who did it! ” “ Deedes, ” said I, “ what the devil do you mean? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Doing the trick, ” he cried; “ not finding out who did it! ” “ Deedes, ” said I, “ what the devil do you mean? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Has Miss Ida not come down yet? ” “ Not that I know of, sir.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Has he ever got into trouble out here? ” she de- manded.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Has he once been up before you or any one of your brother magistrates?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Have you got it all aboard? ” “ Have I not!
nyp.33433074872437	“ He did n’t get one, did he? ” “ He did.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Hear the splash? ” he hissed.
nyp.33433074872437	“ How could you help me when you do n’t know the yarn? ” he asked, with his blue eyes full of amuse- ment.
nyp.33433074872437	“ How is it at the bank? ” “ My father has been summoned to Melbourne by the directors, ” she answered in a low voice.
nyp.33433074872437	“ How many concerts have you had without ask- ing me to perform — me, the only man of you worth listening to- me, the star o'the ship?
nyp.33433074872437	“ How many did he make? ” Ethel asked.
nyp.33433074872437	“ How many? ” he asked, almost with a gasp.
nyp.33433074872437	“ I say, Saumerez, ” cried he, “ in God ’s name, what have you been doing? ” “ Working, ” Saumerez answered mechanically.
nyp.33433074872437	“ I suppose he asked her to run away with him? ” “ They did not speak.
nyp.33433074872437	“ I suppose you know what I have here, my man? ” cried the major, tapping a breast inflated with con- scious benevolence.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Indeed? ” said Miss Crisp, seating herself till the kettle should boil.
nyp.33433074872437	“ It was one of my own men, Miss Winfrey. ” “ The man on the verandah? ’ ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872437	“ It ’s all right. ” “ But who is it? ” said I; for that would not do for me.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Look here, I ’ve a good mind to inflict it on you! ” “ Would n’t that hurt? ” I could not help asking him.
nyp.33433074872437	“ May I ask when you found that out? ” “ Yesterday afternoon. ” “ Ah, when he came in for his cheque.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Mean to say you think I was a member? ” “ If you ask me, that was my idea. ” “ Then you were right.
nyp.33433074872437	“ My mother 35 “ Your mother? ” I repeated presently.
nyp.33433074872437	“ No; that must be dead. ”- “ Then why should it move him so?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Not the Intercolonial? ” I cried.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Not to find me the stump- end of a gentleman, eh? ” “ No; I see that you are one. ” “ Was, my boy — was, ” corrected Jim.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Of me, my dear?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Pardon me, sir, ” said I, “ but you ’ve taken some- thing that was n’t intended for you. ” “ How do you know that? ” said he.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Posthu- mous Papers, ” eh?
nyp.33433074872437	“ See anything fresh? ” “ Nothing. ” “ You would n't.
nyp.33433074872437	“ So I felt, and one must write as one feels. ” “ Must one? ” said the veteran, smiling blandly into the boyish earnest face.
nyp.33433074872437	“ So John still gets you the Sportsman 1 ° RENYON'S INNINGS 23 “ No, John does n't. ” “ You do n’t mean that he's left? ” “ Rather not!
nyp.33433074872437	“ Surely I wrote and told you; have you forgotten?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Then — you will have me at St. Crispin's? ” But C. J. only ruffled the boy's brown hair.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Well, ” cried I, “ what luck? ” “ None at all, ” replied the sergeant angrily.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Well? ” retorted Millicent with mere sauce.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Well? ” said Miss Winfrey at length.
nyp.33433074872437	“ What am I saying?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What did he do? ” repeated the faint voice a little less faintly.
nyp.33433074872437	“ What did you want to go and save a thing like that for?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What do I care what he hears?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What do you know about it?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What do you want? ” “ We were at school together, ” I explained.
nyp.33433074872437	“ What does it mean — knocking down a cheque? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What does it mean — knocking down a cheque? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What does your lordship say?
nyp.33433074872437	“ What sort of a snake was it our friend here said had bitten him? ” “ ‘ A coral, ” says I.
nyp.33433074872437	“ What was it for the'Varsity — my first year? ” Kenyon had to think.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Where's Kenyon? ” “ Kenyon?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Where's Kenyon? ” “ Kenyon?
nyp.33433074872437	“ Where's the boy? ” was his first question.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Why not join me in the other thing? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Will you go in for it? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074872437	“ With that young Overton? ” “ With that young Overman.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Worth reading? ” said Mrs. Astley, with a par- donable smile.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Would it make any difference? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074872437	“ You want to hear the story of poor old Pharazyn and his play?
nyp.33433074872437	“ You were well enough plucked at school! ” “ But what other thing? ” said I.
nyp.33433074872437	“ Your word? ” said Deedes.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ Are you never going to spend that?'
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ Ca n't you see? ” he said in his hollow voice.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ It ’s a five- pound note. ” “ ‘ I know; but was n’t that kind, then? ’ “ ‘ So Morrison gave you this! ” I said.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ Struck anything else, Mr. Gray? ’ says I at last.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ Then what do you think of this? ’ asked Phara- zyn, as he dipped a hand within his shabby coat, and cautiously unclenched it under my nose.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ What do you want with me? ” he says at last; and of course I said I wanted him to come back to the station with me.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ What kind? ” says I, though I thought I knew.
nyp.33433074872437	“ ‘ What then? ” says I.
nyp.33433074840707	A great deal — and like — a man?
nyp.33433074840707	A man — one of God's men?
nyp.33433074840707	And I'm glad — gladWas it an illusion of his own, or did she seem to shiver and draw away from him at the touch of his hand?
nyp.33433074840707	And Jean has gone on — to see others?
nyp.33433074840707	And Josephine knows? nyp.33433074840707 And is that all — because you believe me?"
nyp.33433074840707	And now, when even I say there is hope, can you not make me have the confidence in you that I must have — if we win?
nyp.33433074840707	And still you say there is no hope?
nyp.33433074840707	And that fear? nyp.33433074840707 And the reason for this secrecy you will not con- fide in me?"
nyp.33433074840707	And there is nothing I can do for you, Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	And they are coming this way?
nyp.33433074840707	And this other man you speak of, Radisson?
nyp.33433074840707	And this, Jean, your friend?
nyp.33433074840707	And until then, I must wait?
nyp.33433074840707	And when you had done this you would be willing to go away, to promise never to see me again, to ask no reward? nyp.33433074840707 And yet, back there when you first asked me to go with you as your husband, you knew what I would find at Adare House?"
nyp.33433074840707	And you found him?
nyp.33433074840707	And you have had all this trouble, all this mys- tery, all this fear because of him?
nyp.33433074840707	And you have never grown lonesome up here?
nyp.33433074840707	And you have no sisters — or brothers?
nyp.33433074840707	And you would trust yourself there?
nyp.33433074840707	And you, Josephine, you love me?
nyp.33433074840707	And you, Josephine, you love me?
nyp.33433074840707	And you, Josephine, you love me?
nyp.33433074840707	And you?
nyp.33433074840707	And you?
nyp.33433074840707	Are you expecting some one?
nyp.33433074840707	As a father and a brother, or as a man?
nyp.33433074840707	Because you were glad, or sorry?
nyp.33433074840707	But Joseph- ine said she met you in Montreal?
nyp.33433074840707	But others drive them besides you?
nyp.33433074840707	But this is n't working on my foxes, is it? nyp.33433074840707 But why should I tell you?
nyp.33433074840707	Can you make them out? nyp.33433074840707 Did she ever tell you about the little Indian baby she found in a tepee?"
nyp.33433074840707	Did you hear anything — late — about midnight?
nyp.33433074840707	Did you hear that?
nyp.33433074840707	Did you kill him?
nyp.33433074840707	Did you see Miriam?
nyp.33433074840707	Did you tell Mignonne of your adventure, Ma Cheri?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you buy many furs?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you know what it would mean?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you remember that it was only a few hours ago that I said she could never be yours in this world?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you sometimes wish for that other world?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you think it is that?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you think that I can sleep to- night, Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you understand?
nyp.33433074840707	Does Adare know you have returned?
nyp.33433074840707	Does your oath compel you to keep silent about that, too?
nyp.33433074840707	Have you forgotten all that you promised, and all that I told you? nyp.33433074840707 Have you forgotten?"
nyp.33433074840707	He had no suspicions?
nyp.33433074840707	How do you happen to be here, six hundred miles from anywhere?
nyp.33433074840707	How do you mean, M'sieur?
nyp.33433074840707	How far have we to go, Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	How long?
nyp.33433074840707	I said 201 GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN 203Do you remember that it was over this same trail that we took our first walk — from home?
nyp.33433074840707	I'm not much of a — a — sport — to let you men get supper by yourselves, am I? nyp.33433074840707 If it was not you — who was it?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is it not necessary that you make room in your canoe for me?
nyp.33433074840707	Is it not possible that you might allow me to retain at least a part of my name, and call me Philip? nyp.33433074840707 Is it not possible to get me home to- night?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is it possible that any one else is awake and roam- ing about at this hour?
nyp.33433074840707	Is n't the pack going with us?
nyp.33433074840707	Is that quite necessary?
nyp.33433074840707	Jean — you have something to tell me?
nyp.33433074840707	Jean, what do you mean? nyp.33433074840707 Josephine wants to know if you have forgotten her?"
nyp.33433074840707	Little Marie? nyp.33433074840707 M'sieur, do you believe in an oath that you make to your God?"
nyp.33433074840707	M'sieur, what if in that letter were named people and places: the hospital itself, the doctors, the record of birth? nyp.33433074840707 May I come in?"
nyp.33433074840707	Not even — if we fight?
nyp.33433074840707	Or would you prefer to go into the other room?
nyp.33433074840707	Paul?
nyp.33433074840707	She is sleeping now?
nyp.33433074840707	Sleep?
nyp.33433074840707	Surely it is not going to demand a great amount of courage to face that number, Josephine?
nyp.33433074840707	Tan'se a itumuche hooyun?
nyp.33433074840707	The fight?
nyp.33433074840707	The jaunt was almost too much for my little girl, was n't it? nyp.33433074840707 The result?"
nyp.33433074840707	The truth?
nyp.33433074840707	Then what has produced the change that makes you fear to have me go on? nyp.33433074840707 Then why — why in the name of that God do you look like this?"
nyp.33433074840707	Then you will do all this for me — even to the end — when you must sacrifice all of that for which you have struggled, and which you have saved?
nyp.33433074840707	Then — you demand a reason?
nyp.33433074840707	This is your birthday?
nyp.33433074840707	This is your hiding- place, and you thought — what? nyp.33433074840707 To- morrow?"
nyp.33433074840707	Two years? nyp.33433074840707 We almost lost you, did n't we?
nyp.33433074840707	What are you doing here?
nyp.33433074840707	What did he say?
nyp.33433074840707	What do you think of it?
nyp.33433074840707	What possible cause for worry can you have?
nyp.33433074840707	What time is it, M'sieur?
nyp.33433074840707	What would you do, M'sieur?
nyp.33433074840707	What?
nyp.33433074840707	What?
nyp.33433074840707	When did you see her last?
nyp.33433074840707	Where is Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	Where is she?
nyp.33433074840707	Why did n't you invite me to go with you?
nyp.33433074840707	Why do you ask that?
nyp.33433074840707	Why do you laugh?
nyp.33433074840707	Why have n't you done this be- fore, Josephine?
nyp.33433074840707	Why is it?
nyp.33433074840707	Why shroud me in this damnable mystery any longer, Jean? nyp.33433074840707 Why to- morrow or the next day?"
nyp.33433074840707	Why wait an- other hour, Jean? nyp.33433074840707 Why were you going out there?"
nyp.33433074840707	Why — like that?
nyp.33433074840707	Why?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you believe Josephine, M'sieur? nyp.33433074840707 Will you breakfast with me?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you go with me?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you let me help you?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you smoke, M'sieur?
nyp.33433074840707	Ye are with me, men?
nyp.33433074840707	You are afraid for me, Philip?
nyp.33433074840707	You are glad that the man who tried to kill me escaped?
nyp.33433074840707	You are not afraid — now?
nyp.33433074840707	You are not going to leave me alone this after- noon?
nyp.33433074840707	You are not tiring, M'sieur?
nyp.33433074840707	You are with me, M'sieur — to the death, if it must be?
nyp.33433074840707	You did n't eat the prunes?
nyp.33433074840707	You did not go to bed until quite late last night, Philip?
nyp.33433074840707	You have people?
nyp.33433074840707	You have seen no one else?
nyp.33433074840707	You have seen something of the world, Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	You have the time?
nyp.33433074840707	You have written all this?
nyp.33433074840707	You just came?
nyp.33433074840707	You knew?
nyp.33433074840707	You mean that you will follow and kill him — and that John Adare must never know that an attempt has been made on his life?
nyp.33433074840707	You met him last night, and again to- night, and let him go? nyp.33433074840707 You must see me — alone?"
nyp.33433074840707	You understand, M'sieur? nyp.33433074840707 You will forgive me if I ask you to let me go on alone, and you follow with Jean?"
nyp.33433074840707	You will swear that?
nyp.33433074840707	You're from the North?
nyp.33433074840707	You're tired, are n't you?
nyp.33433074840707	Youwoulddo a greatdealfor me?

nyp.33433074840707	66 GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN"Is — or was?"
nyp.33433074840707	A little later, when Adare and his wife were walking ahead of them, she asked:"Where is Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	Against whom was he guarding her?
nyp.33433074840707	Aha?"
nyp.33433074840707	And Jean — where is he?"
nyp.33433074840707	And am I not here to swear — that the child — was mine?"
nyp.33433074840707	And could this that he had heard, and this that he looked upon be anything but the truth?
nyp.33433074840707	And do you know why?
nyp.33433074840707	And now, M'sieur Philip, why do you say that I am responsi- ble for the attempt to kill you, or the master?"
nyp.33433074840707	And now, M'sieur, will you lie down?
nyp.33433074840707	And then she asked, a little anxiously,"You left my father believing in you — in us?"
nyp.33433074840707	And then she said, quite near to him:"Are you coming, Philip?"
nyp.33433074840707	And there — what would he find?
nyp.33433074840707	And what effect was it having on Josephine?
nyp.33433074840707	And when the crash comes"GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN 227"It will give Josephine to me?"
nyp.33433074840707	And yet — what more could there be?
nyp.33433074840707	And yet, after all, would he have recalled what had happened if he could?
nyp.33433074840707	And you will not fail me?"
nyp.33433074840707	And you — four years?
nyp.33433074840707	And you, Mig- nonne?
nyp.33433074840707	And you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Are they white men or Indians?"
nyp.33433074840707	Are we any nearer to the end — to the big fight?"
nyp.33433074840707	Are you afraid?"
nyp.33433074840707	Are you ready?"
nyp.33433074840707	As Metoosin went Adare turned upon the others:"Shall we all go out now?"
nyp.33433074840707	But how about Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	But why — how?
nyp.33433074840707	But you would n't like to do that every meal of your life, would you?
nyp.33433074840707	Ca n't you understand — a little?"
nyp.33433074840707	Can not Josephine swear that she is innocent?
nyp.33433074840707	Can she not have a story of her own showing how foully Lang tried to GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN 273 blackmail her into a crime?
nyp.33433074840707	Can that be anything but madness?"
nyp.33433074840707	Can you beat it?"
nyp.33433074840707	Can you remember such a thing, Ma Cheri?"
nyp.33433074840707	Can you swim?"
nyp.33433074840707	Can you tell me what it means?
nyp.33433074840707	Could we not watch for the messenger?"
nyp.33433074840707	Covering it with his pistol, he called:"Who is there?"
nyp.33433074840707	Did I disturb you when I stole out of camp?"
nyp.33433074840707	Did I hear you say that my husband sent you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Did Jean mean that he was to watch her?
nyp.33433074840707	Did Jean mistrust him?
nyp.33433074840707	Did the glass cut you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Did you ever see a steak done to a finer turn than this?
nyp.33433074840707	Did you hear that?"
nyp.33433074840707	Do you accuse me of that — I, Jean Jacques Croisset, who would die a thousand deaths by torture that she might be freed from her own suffering?"
nyp.33433074840707	Do you care if I eat the whole of it — the cake, I mean?"
nyp.33433074840707	Do you like the cake?"
nyp.33433074840707	Do you re- member what you said to me in the canoe?
nyp.33433074840707	Do you under- stand, M'sieur?"
nyp.33433074840707	Do you understand?"
nyp.33433074840707	Does Philip let you off too easily?"
nyp.33433074840707	Eh, Miriam?"

nyp.33433074840707	GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN 75"And it can not?"
nyp.33433074840707	Had she spoken the truth?
nyp.33433074840707	Has Josephine told you of her?"
nyp.33433074840707	Has the purest soul in all this world been stolen by those Godless men at Thoreau's?
nyp.33433074840707	Have you faith enough in me to believe?"
nyp.33433074840707	Have you lived all those years here?"
nyp.33433074840707	He looked at Josephine, and his voice dropped to a hoarse whisper:"Where's the kid?"
nyp.33433074840707	He spoke his thoughts aloud, pointing to the dogs:"What danger can there be in this world that you need fear — with them?"
nyp.33433074840707	How far did you say it was to the place where our people are to meet?"
nyp.33433074840707	I wonder if he is awake?"
nyp.33433074840707	If these letters are his trump cards, why did he try to have him killed?
nyp.33433074840707	If this were so, why had she betrayed the emotions which Philip was sure he had seen?
nyp.33433074840707	Is Lang's threat merely a threat?
nyp.33433074840707	Is it because"—he leaned toward her, and his face was bloodless—"Is it because you care a little for me?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is it good walking to Adare House?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is it not enough?
nyp.33433074840707	Is it some terrible malady which the doctors could not find?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is it that you, even you — now give me hope of possessing Josephine?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is it true?
nyp.33433074840707	Is n't he magnificent?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is n't that ridge of the forest glorious in the sunlight?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is that not more than you ex- pected?
nyp.33433074840707	Is that not true?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is there no other word from Jean?"
nyp.33433074840707	Is this knowledge — impossible?"
nyp.33433074840707	It means""What?"
nyp.33433074840707	Jean seemed to rise up before him again at the grave- sides, and from his lips he forced the words:"Then there is something more — than the baby?"
nyp.33433074840707	M'sieur"—his voice chopped to a whisper —"Could I sell my hereafter with her for the price of another woman's love on earth?"
nyp.33433074840707	Not until then did Jean speak, and there was no pretence in his voice:"The Virgin be praised, you are not badly hurt, M'sieur?"
nyp.33433074840707	Now — will you let me help you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Now, do you still want to help me?'
nyp.33433074840707	Only I've got to know — is it impossible for her to tell me?"
nyp.33433074840707	Papak- oo- moo?"
nyp.33433074840707	Philip Dar- cambal?"
nyp.33433074840707	Shall I call them — now?"
nyp.33433074840707	Shall I play for you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Shall I send him to you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Shall we hazard it?"
nyp.33433074840707	She is sick — dying, you say?"
nyp.33433074840707	She is with her mother?"
nyp.33433074840707	She understands?"
nyp.33433074840707	Should he take a further advantage by obeying John Adare's command to bring his wife and daughter?
nyp.33433074840707	So why — why should I tell you?"
nyp.33433074840707	Suddenly he said:"You will not suspect me of cowardice if I suggest that there is not one chance in a hundred of them discovering us?"
nyp.33433074840707	TMI NEW YCK* PUBLIC LIB?
nyp.33433074840707	The one man in the whole world I would give my life to meet — and you afraid of him?
nyp.33433074840707	Then he added, quickly:"But could we not keep the papers from Adare, Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	Then she asked:"What have you to tell me, Philip?"
nyp.33433074840707	Then she said, and Philip saw she spoke directly to her father:"You will excuse Philip, wo n't you, Mon Pere?
nyp.33433074840707	There was more to it — something after the foxes yelped back at you?"
nyp.33433074840707	They had almost reached the lake when he said:"And now, I may call you Josephine?"
nyp.33433074840707	To what was Josephine listen- ing in these tense minutes of waiting?
nyp.33433074840707	Was he to take that literally?
nyp.33433074840707	Was it imagination, or had he in that same instant caught a sudden look of alarm, of terror, in her eyes?
nyp.33433074840707	Was it possible that Joseph- ine had secretly expressed a fear which made the Frenchman watch over her while she slept?
nyp.33433074840707	Was it the effect of the shadows, or had he seen her start — almost as if for an instant she had been threatened by a blow?
nyp.33433074840707	What 198 GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN need had she of his protection?
nyp.33433074840707	What account would be the insignificant automatic at his side in the face of this wild horde that awaited only a word from her?
nyp.33433074840707	What are you afraid of?"
nyp.33433074840707	What could it mean?
nyp.33433074840707	What could that story be?
nyp.33433074840707	What could there be in these forests that she feared, with them at her command?
nyp.33433074840707	What danger could there be in this quiet, starlit night for Josephine?
nyp.33433074840707	What did he tell you last night?"
nyp.33433074840707	What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074840707	What do you say, Philip?"
nyp.33433074840707	What if he were a stranger and the fish were poisoned?"
nyp.33433074840707	What if it contained all those many things by which the master of Adare might trail back easily to the truth?
nyp.33433074840707	What is the matter with your arm?"
nyp.33433074840707	What need had she of his protection?
nyp.33433074840707	What need had she of his protection?
nyp.33433074840707	What was happening there now?
nyp.33433074840707	What was it?
nyp.33433074840707	When do we start, Josephine?"
nyp.33433074840707	Where is he?"
nyp.33433074840707	Where was Jean?
nyp.33433074840707	Who could Jean be?
nyp.33433074840707	Why did n't she?"
nyp.33433074840707	Why had Croisset spoken in that strange way just before they entered the door of Adare House?
nyp.33433074840707	Why had Josephine not sent some word to him — at least an explanation telling him why she could not see him as she had promised?
nyp.33433074840707	Why have you not killed him?"
nyp.33433074840707	Why is it that our Josephine has come to trust you as she does?"
nyp.33433074840707	Why, for instance, do you fear those letters — this scoundrel Lang's confession?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you come with me?"
nyp.33433074840707	Will you come?"
nyp.33433074840707	Will you get me fresh clothes?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you go and arrange your canoe now?
nyp.33433074840707	Will you join me?"
nyp.33433074840707	Will you look for yourself?"
nyp.33433074840707	Will you promise that?"
nyp.33433074840707	Will you promise to do that?"
nyp.33433074840707	Will you throw that away — because — my body — is not free?"
nyp.33433074840707	With those things in the letter would he not investigate?
nyp.33433074840707	Wo n't you come, Miriam?"
nyp.33433074840707	Would he stare at her like a fool when he saw her again for the first time?
nyp.33433074840707	Would he, after all, 274 GOD'S COUNTRY — AND THE WOMAN actually have the letter given to Adare?
nyp.33433074840707	Would not Adare be- lieve her word before that of a freebooter?
nyp.33433074840707	Would not Adare's death rob him of his greatest power?"
nyp.33433074840707	You are sure there are two?''
nyp.33433074840707	You are sure — he wants to see me — alone?"
nyp.33433074840707	You see now — you understand what that fight means, M'sieur?"
nyp.33433074840707	You understand?
nyp.33433074840707	You would swear that?"
nyp.33433074840707	You, Jean Croisset?
nyp.33433074840707	this soon, Mignonne?"

njp.32101038061022	And what do you think you're after, sir?
njp.32101038061022	And what else can I do?
njp.32101038061022	And what for that?
njp.32101038061022	And what kind of a passage?

njp.32101038061022	Blind — d'you see? njp.32101038061022 But I always admire the Craig so much — don't you?"
njp.32101038061022	But have you never wished to get away — to go out into the big world?
njp.32101038061022	But how?
njp.32101038061022	But still what are you going to do?
njp.32101038061022	But still,he stammered,"but still — are you quite sure you're right?
njp.32101038061022	But why? njp.32101038061022 But you meant to get an'see her?"
njp.32101038061022	But, good heavens, THE DIGGER 155 man alive, how did you ever have the nerve to try such a scheme? njp.32101038061022 By way of suicide?"
njp.32101038061022	Col- ours? njp.32101038061022 Come along then, wo n't you?"
njp.32101038061022	D'y'reckon you could take the job on trust?
njp.32101038061022	D'y'want to know? njp.32101038061022 Devils?"
njp.32101038061022	Did I indeed?
njp.32101038061022	Did I say I could carry her through?
njp.32101038061022	Did n't I tell you'e'd be worth listenin'at?
njp.32101038061022	Did you ever see a black ghost?
njp.32101038061022	Did you, indeed?
njp.32101038061022	Didn'you know on- lee bad an'wicked come to such a place? njp.32101038061022 Do n't I know?"
njp.32101038061022	Do n't they kick?
njp.32101038061022	Do we sink?
njp.32101038061022	Do you hear me say my gold is stolen — the price of my wading in this ruddy mess? njp.32101038061022 Do you love him?"
njp.32101038061022	Do you mean — niggers?
njp.32101038061022	Do you see the shape of that big candlenut tree on the hill? njp.32101038061022 Do you think you can keep me as a slave?"
njp.32101038061022	Does he beat you? njp.32101038061022 Eh?
njp.32101038061022	Ever had any trouble?
njp.32101038061022	Faith, have you lost that youngster again?
njp.32101038061022	Fault? njp.32101038061022 For slave is what you shall be till you prove yourself a better man than me, d'you see?"
njp.32101038061022	For why?
njp.32101038061022	Forsayth?
njp.32101038061022	Gentlemen o'leisure,he observed,"Ai n't you be- ginnin'pretty early?
njp.32101038061022	Gone, is it? njp.32101038061022 Have you brought me that book — that log of the Merry Friend?"
njp.32101038061022	Have you covered that assignment yet?
njp.32101038061022	Have you had enough of this queer port and these queer people?
njp.32101038061022	Have you room for an extra hand, Cap'n? njp.32101038061022 He's reached the point, has n't he,"she asked,"where his courage went from him, like a tide from a rock?"
njp.32101038061022	Henry Shoesmith; do you remember that knife?
njp.32101038061022	How about its passenger business?
njp.32101038061022	How could you do it? njp.32101038061022 How d'you know I did n't dig this lad up again?"
njp.32101038061022	How far from where?
njp.32101038061022	How many black souls must ha'passed out through this panel? njp.32101038061022 How much did he pinch?"
njp.32101038061022	How much of it are you going to do?
njp.32101038061022	How should I know, Mister — what counts? njp.32101038061022 How then?"
njp.32101038061022	How're you, con?
njp.32101038061022	How, then?
njp.32101038061022	How?
njp.32101038061022	How?
njp.32101038061022	I guess we'll take that tip about keepin'all hatches fast, wo n't we?
njp.32101038061022	I reckon we got no par- ticular use for anythin'that happens to be locked up inside this old hooker — at this time, hey?
njp.32101038061022	I said: where'd you shift it?
njp.32101038061022	I say, you were n't going to skip?
njp.32101038061022	If I pick a coconut, is it mine? njp.32101038061022 If you drag me into this last infamy —""Well?"
njp.32101038061022	Is it permitted to ask the senor how much of that tariff he forced us to pay will be turned in to the company?
njp.32101038061022	Is that all you can say?
njp.32101038061022	Is your order wrong by the steward? njp.32101038061022 It is her throat?"
njp.32101038061022	It's now the twenty- third, ai n't it? njp.32101038061022 It's your own fault: what did you bring him for?"
njp.32101038061022	Just wait a second, wo n't you?
njp.32101038061022	Like the job?
njp.32101038061022	Lost your nerve?
njp.32101038061022	Man alive — how on earth did you get back here?
njp.32101038061022	Me been one damn good fella friend along you — yes?
njp.32101038061022	Meanwhile, you have added a fresh interest to local politics, and why should I deny it? njp.32101038061022 Minin'for what?
njp.32101038061022	Missi — you be one damn good fella friend along me?
njp.32101038061022	Must all give money as you ask? njp.32101038061022 My Gaw, wot should I do it for?
njp.32101038061022	No?
njp.32101038061022	No?
njp.32101038061022	Not bad, eh? njp.32101038061022 Not the few that count?"
njp.32101038061022	Oh, I shall come on the steamer?
njp.32101038061022	Oh?
njp.32101038061022	Oyster egg?
njp.32101038061022	Prospectin'?
njp.32101038061022	S'pose,she whispered,"alia same them fella pa'langi( white folk) you kiss'm me — eh?
njp.32101038061022	Samoans are not cowards, but thou knowest what white folks say of them? njp.32101038061022 Say, who th'hell's the funny bloke around here?"
njp.32101038061022	Shall I —?
njp.32101038061022	Shift what?
njp.32101038061022	So that's the latest? njp.32101038061022 Somebody for me?"
njp.32101038061022	Stories?
njp.32101038061022	Tell, me, Digger,he began;"tell me — whereabouts do you say this affair of yours was staged?"
njp.32101038061022	Tha's why — eh? njp.32101038061022 Thanks to me?"
njp.32101038061022	The treasure? njp.32101038061022 They use the garrotte in some places still, do n't they — the iron collar that drives a spike through the back of your neck?
njp.32101038061022	To take the pearl away, yourself, among the white people — you would be happy?
njp.32101038061022	Tribes?
njp.32101038061022	W- what is it?
njp.32101038061022	Wat was it? njp.32101038061022 Well, my piratin'squireen,"he would greet the other,"and how is the luck today?
njp.32101038061022	Well, that makes it churchier, do n't it? njp.32101038061022 Well, the son of Matthew Bird do n't go to prison, you can bet — else where's the good of coin?
njp.32101038061022	Well, what's your notion about the bloke?
njp.32101038061022	Well,said Brewer at length, as they stood by the transom,"I guess we'll every one take his own share to keep by him, wo n't we?
njp.32101038061022	Well? njp.32101038061022 Well?"
njp.32101038061022	Were is that detestable little medico chap?
njp.32101038061022	Wha's the use to pump tha'dam'river in an'out again?
njp.32101038061022	What are you doing in those slops, my lad?
njp.32101038061022	What d'you say, McMurtrie? njp.32101038061022 What did I tol'you?"
njp.32101038061022	What do we care for sharks — we two?
njp.32101038061022	What do you mean?
njp.32101038061022	What do you want to do?
njp.32101038061022	What do you want?
njp.32101038061022	What for?
njp.32101038061022	What have you been doing to her?
njp.32101038061022	What is that?
njp.32101038061022	What is the story — the legend?
njp.32101038061022	What kind of an answer can I make?
njp.32101038061022	What kind of stories?
njp.32101038061022	What kind would you think?'
njp.32101038061022	What t'hell else did you expect?
njp.32101038061022	What tribes? njp.32101038061022 What trouble would I have?"
njp.32101038061022	What — what's wrong with him?
njp.32101038061022	What's 154 INDARKPLACES that? njp.32101038061022 What's the wage?"
njp.32101038061022	What's there?
njp.32101038061022	What's this? njp.32101038061022 What's this?
njp.32101038061022	What, sir? njp.32101038061022 What?
njp.32101038061022	Whence do you come?
njp.32101038061022	Where is George,demanded Dibdin,"anyway?"
njp.32101038061022	Where were your eyes a year ago — six months ago? njp.32101038061022 Where's George?"
njp.32101038061022	Which is the prize bird of the lot?
njp.32101038061022	Which way?
njp.32101038061022	Who are all these people?
njp.32101038061022	Who are you?
njp.32101038061022	Who else has been down here?
njp.32101038061022	Who is a thief?
njp.32101038061022	Who — me? njp.32101038061022 Who — me?"
njp.32101038061022	Who, the company? njp.32101038061022 Who?"
njp.32101038061022	Why do n't you tie him up?
njp.32101038061022	Why do you want the little book?
njp.32101038061022	Why should I work so long as I'ave you? njp.32101038061022 Why, sir?"
njp.32101038061022	Why?
njp.32101038061022	Why?
njp.32101038061022	Will y'fight?
njp.32101038061022	Will you answer, before I stamp your ribs in?
njp.32101038061022	Will you come down?
njp.32101038061022	With what kind of love?
njp.32101038061022	Would you seek me out, then? njp.32101038061022 Yes?"
njp.32101038061022	You are bringing somebody — to me?
njp.32101038061022	You are that man?
njp.32101038061022	You came? njp.32101038061022 You could fin'that river?"
njp.32101038061022	You do n't see many Americans this way, do you?
njp.32101038061022	You ever been up that river?
njp.32101038061022	You fright?
njp.32101038061022	You go?
njp.32101038061022	You have birds for me to buy?
njp.32101038061022	You have your — your surgical things? njp.32101038061022 You heard?
njp.32101038061022	You knew of this?
njp.32101038061022	You know her? njp.32101038061022 You know which river?
njp.32101038061022	You look aroun'this place — eh?
njp.32101038061022	You mean the handcuffs? njp.32101038061022 You mean they'll mind what you say?
njp.32101038061022	You mean you wo n't arrest me?
njp.32101038061022	You mean — I'm free?
njp.32101038061022	You mean — Vitongo?
njp.32101038061022	You mean — a man you could trust?
njp.32101038061022	You mean — you mean you ai n't going to believe it?
njp.32101038061022	You mean — you're asking arrest?
njp.32101038061022	You never saw her before Batavia?
njp.32101038061022	You remember? njp.32101038061022 You said — some danger?"
njp.32101038061022	You see this fella place?
njp.32101038061022	You —?
njp.32101038061022	Your haul, hey? njp.32101038061022 Your offer —?"
njp.32101038061022	— is it strange I should exploit it? njp.32101038061022 'What use'as it been?
njp.32101038061022	'Ave you forgotten?"
njp.32101038061022	'Member how that stoker on the steamer yelled when you caught him through the ribs, Charlie?
njp.32101038061022	'Ow you feel about it?"
njp.32101038061022	'Ow you mean — lose her voice?
njp.32101038061022	... By the way,"he added,"who owns this line?"
njp.32101038061022	.?"
njp.32101038061022	.?"
njp.32101038061022	172 INDARKPLACES"Will you make me quit?
njp.32101038061022	182 IN DARK PLACES"Without me?"
njp.32101038061022	A Dutch surgeon on the land — the nearest one?
njp.32101038061022	Abruptly he asked:"Have you got the stuff safe?"
njp.32101038061022	Ai n't you got no pride with them pants?
njp.32101038061022	Ai n't you got that point about him yet?
njp.32101038061022	All about the Heb- rides and the cannibals and the lovely volcanoes and such?
njp.32101038061022	An honest- t'-God church, as you meant?
njp.32101038061022	An'he sold you""This billet, do n't you see?
njp.32101038061022	An'you can speak of them'ere?"
njp.32101038061022	And I thought — I thought, would n't it be great if I could only get the right colours?
njp.32101038061022	And any'ow if you stir up bloody row you make me fight to keep Vitongo for you — eh?
njp.32101038061022	And maybe — maybe a school for the little kids as well — what?
njp.32101038061022	And the one Chris got jumpin'from the pilot- house?
njp.32101038061022	And what I want to know is this: Has a nigger got a soul?"
njp.32101038061022	And what else would they expect?
njp.32101038061022	And where- abouts from the nearest big doctor — the nearest sure man?"
njp.32101038061022	And why?
njp.32101038061022	And you came here seeking Wai- ni- ndula?
njp.32101038061022	And'ow far might he be — your Kluit?"
njp.32101038061022	Are there any more of y'?
njp.32101038061022	Are you a friend to the missionaries?"
njp.32101038061022	Are you not grateful?"
njp.32101038061022	Are you sure we sunk'em all?"
njp.32101038061022	Aye, it sounds like a poor sort of jest, do n't it now?
njp.32101038061022	Because I did like to play and smile — because I was bad and a fool just that little, you think I would give him for you?
njp.32101038061022	Bird?"
njp.32101038061022	But ca n't'e sling them yarns, though?
njp.32101038061022	But how if we kidnap'em anyway, and the women, too — and kick your silly mission into the sea after?
njp.32101038061022	But how was a fellow to choose?
njp.32101038061022	But now where is that orphing boy?"
njp.32101038061022	But now — will you on- lee kiss me once bifor'you go?"
njp.32101038061022	But what could I do?
njp.32101038061022	But what is it you are after?"
njp.32101038061022	But when we do fin'this surgeon, you admit — I can see it — even you are ready to admit he can make all right wit'her again?"
njp.32101038061022	But you will fathom that cry of mine, perhaps — had the fellow not dominated everything — even my hopelessness?
njp.32101038061022	But'ave you ever reflect'to yourself,"he offered, leaning still closer until his teeth glistened,"'ave you reflect''ow these dope of yours change?
njp.32101038061022	By what?"
njp.32101038061022	Ca n't describe him very well?
njp.32101038061022	Ca n't state what village he hailed from?
njp.32101038061022	Ca n't'e talk?
njp.32101038061022	Call yourself a fortune hunter, and you handle a shovel no brisker than that?
njp.32101038061022	Can this be a hunch?
njp.32101038061022	Can you blame me?"
njp.32101038061022	Common story, eh?
njp.32101038061022	Could n't be sure of ever finding it again?
njp.32101038061022	Could n't place the exact spot?
njp.32101038061022	Couldst keep such treachery in thy heart — thinkest thou?"
njp.32101038061022	Courage to carry her through?
njp.32101038061022	Courage, you speak of?
njp.32101038061022	Crying for the luck, was she?
njp.32101038061022	D'you remember that blame'silly piece you signed and dated and sent down to a Sydney paper coupl'a months ago?
njp.32101038061022	D'you see?"
njp.32101038061022	D'you think how much chance you have of ever getting away again with the secret?"
njp.32101038061022	D'you understand?
njp.32101038061022	Did I not tell you to come in here?
njp.32101038061022	Did I say he was blue- eyed?
njp.32101038061022	Did I show who she belong to?"
njp.32101038061022	Did he not remember that knife?
njp.32101038061022	Did n't I say so, mister?"
njp.32101038061022	Did they think no one would ever learn of their innocent box and what it held?
njp.32101038061022	Did they think wise ones would never reach these places?
njp.32101038061022	Did you'ave an accident?"
njp.32101038061022	Do I look the sort to let a gang of yellow- livered dock wallopers turn me off?
njp.32101038061022	Do n't you know it?
njp.32101038061022	Do you know really why I came?
njp.32101038061022	Do you know that if you had tasted water you would have died?"
njp.32101038061022	Do you see the cloud of its many blossoms — pale and clustering?"
njp.32101038061022	Do you see?"
njp.32101038061022	Does he treat you cruelly?"
njp.32101038061022	Eh?
njp.32101038061022	Eh?
njp.32101038061022	Eh?
njp.32101038061022	Eight days""Eight days?"
njp.32101038061022	Faimungo — he means to kill these three wives of his dead brother?"
njp.32101038061022	Feel that air?"
njp.32101038061022	For Gor's sake, Mr. Bird, sir — pass that bottle, will you?
njp.32101038061022	For what had they done compared with me?
njp.32101038061022	Frightened, are you?
njp.32101038061022	Get that?"
njp.32101038061022	Get up out of that an'tell me — what was it you said about a surgeon jus'now?

njp.32101038061022	Good Heaven, are you still able to keep up that game?
njp.32101038061022	Had he not enlarged Vitongo store at reckless cost?
njp.32101038061022	Had he not plunged with a bold financial gesture on three trading ventures to Savaii?
njp.32101038061022	Had n't you better be rid of us — soon?"
njp.32101038061022	Have you dug any gold or precious stones from that rock?
njp.32101038061022	Have you got the face to tell me the nigger has any place in the scheme of things except to be sweated for what graft is in it?
njp.32101038061022	Have you no sense, girl?
njp.32101038061022	He asked for Bible talk, and the only single blame'thing I could tell him""Well?"
njp.32101038061022	He was 56 IN DARK PLACE,?
njp.32101038061022	How could I know?"
njp.32101038061022	How could he do it? — How could he?
njp.32101038061022	How could he do it? — How could he?
njp.32101038061022	How could you find the nerve, and the strength, and the will?
njp.32101038061022	How have you fared in passion and devotion, how in those tender snares that wring the heart?"
njp.32101038061022	How many days ago?"
njp.32101038061022	How on earth was a man to remember anything, any one aspect, when another was always shifting in — equally surprising and equally true?
njp.32101038061022	How should you?
njp.32101038061022	How?
njp.32101038061022	I 280 IN DARK PLACES"What — what is the talk?"
njp.32101038061022	I can not question, though,'oly saints above,'ow should I believe it?

njp.32101038061022	I told you so at Sydney — didn't I? — I told you I felt a congenial urge to these cannibals."

njp.32101038061022	If you so want the colour, the true colour — eh, what? — why not go look at night- time?"
njp.32101038061022	If you so want the colour, the true colour — eh, what? — why not go look at night- time?"
njp.32101038061022	Is it not pretty?
njp.32101038061022	Is it up a river he lives, did you say?"
njp.32101038061022	Is that the best you could wring from three hundred lively natives?"
njp.32101038061022	Is there any chance for such — can you tell me?
njp.32101038061022	Is yon little brave brown child to have died in vain?

njp.32101038061022	Out of your own mouth — shall they not answer?

njp.32101038061022	Why did you make me?"
njp.32101038061022	Why should they?

njp.32101038061022	Why, man, did you think you could cut out this island by your little lonely?
njp.32101038061022	Why, you poor tripe, you do n't suppose I'll let go now I got my teeth into the fat?
njp.32101038061022	Why, you poor, blame'fools, how would you guess anybody could get away with anything out here?"
njp.32101038061022	Why?
njp.32101038061022	Will y'fight, then?"
njp.32101038061022	Will y'help?"

njp.32101038061022	Will you not be glad to be free again?
njp.32101038061022	Will you not rejoice to sport and to run as you used?
njp.32101038061022	Wo n't you let me free to be your new teacher, N'goma?"
njp.32101038061022	Would it be too much to say that Mr. Spicer sang one of his own as well?
njp.32101038061022	Would it be too much to tell that Mr. Spicer capered too?
njp.32101038061022	Would it seem he had taken his chance: a man who had filled such parts, and one that squared the rest after all?
njp.32101038061022	Would you deny this chance to her?
njp.32101038061022	Would you follow?"
njp.32101038061022	Would you say he had any rightful chance of comin'through safe?
njp.32101038061022	Would you wish her back where you'ad her with your cursed drugs — under sentence, as you said — an'so keep me from saving Jennie May?
njp.32101038061022	Wouldst betray me — thinkest thou?
njp.32101038061022	You are thinking if anything'appens to me you will be next to own Vitongo — eh?
njp.32101038061022	You belong a gentleman — no? — with a fine home and a trading store.
njp.32101038061022	You ca n't say as much for many loafers, can you?
njp.32101038061022	You know why?
njp.32101038061022	You know?"
njp.32101038061022	You love her?"
njp.32101038061022	You mind the way of it?
njp.32101038061022	You never heard of it?
njp.32101038061022	You noticed Raoul?"
njp.32101038061022	You savee?"
njp.32101038061022	You understand?
njp.32101038061022	You'd like to meet him?
njp.32101038061022	You're one of these fortune hunters eh?
njp.32101038061022	You've got the gold, too?"
njp.32101038061022	he cried at Andrew Harben, immediately adding:"And what t'hell are you doing here?"
njp.32101038061022	she cried, despairing,"Oah, why did you ever come'ere?
nyp.33433074835731	'” “ Who gave you this message? ” asked Barnes, assuming a cold and formal tone that was intended to quench the ardor of his assistant.
nyp.33433074835731	- “ I insist upon a reply, ” shouted Mayne; “ were you lurking in the grounds when Hugh Helverson came into the house?
nyp.33433074835731	- “ I know you've retired from the Government service, but will you undertake this business? ” It was more than a question.
nyp.33433074835731	104 Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes “ Mind?
nyp.33433074835731	214 Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes “ How do you know? ” “ He told me so!
nyp.33433074835731	4 Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes “ Calling me, sir? ” asked Clancy, pausing in the act of directing a shower of sparks up the chimney.
nyp.33433074835731	42 Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes “ Alone? ” echoed Barnes.
nyp.33433074835731	After that, four in daily succession. ” “ May I examine them? ” asked Forward.
nyp.33433074835731	And how could it be recovered?
nyp.33433074835731	And patriot- ism"What is that?
nyp.33433074835731	Answer me yes, or no? ” “ Yes, ” replied Williams.
nyp.33433074835731	But he said humbly enough: “ What are we going to do?
nyp.33433074835731	But how was it possible for a man to kill the inventor and then escape without leaving some signs of his exit?
nyp.33433074835731	But suddenly she cast all restraint aside and cried impulsively: “ I want you to save Jack! ” “ Jack? ” queried Barnes.
nyp.33433074835731	But what difference does that make?
nyp.33433074835731	But, unfortunately, one copy of the treaty has been lost. ” “ Whose copy? ” “ Mine! ” confessed the Secretary, in a low voice.
nyp.33433074835731	Could it have been suicide?
nyp.33433074835731	Did he have any reason for taking his life? ” “ None whatever.
nyp.33433074835731	Do you mind? ” Roberts laughed heartily.
nyp.33433074835731	Finally, Cap- tain La Rue spoke slowly, as if he were not quite sure of himself:-?
nyp.33433074835731	He said he should establish himself in business before taking a wife. ” “ Was there a quarrel? ” “ You can hardly call it that.
nyp.33433074835731	How could the man remain calm un- der such conditions?
nyp.33433074835731	How could they explain why nothing was stolen?
nyp.33433074835731	How do you fix that? ” “ By three witnesses, ” was the reply.
nyp.33433074835731	How were they to account for the fact that the Major was found in such a natural position with his newspaper in his hands?
nyp.33433074835731	I begged him not to get into a quarrel for my sake. ” “ What else did he say? ” persisted the de- tective.
nyp.33433074835731	I left him standing in an irresolute way in the hallway. ” “ Then what happened? ” “ I fell asleep crying.
nyp.33433074835731	I told him all that Uncle had said and he was furi- ous. ” “ What did he say? ” asked Barnes.
nyp.33433074835731	I wonder if I can pick out the right one? ” “ I — I hope so, ” was the fervent comment.
nyp.33433074835731	I wonder what it means? ” He did not have to wait long for an answer.
nyp.33433074835731	I'm a broken man! ” “ Did you have your manifest in your pocket? ” queried Barnes, ignoring the note of dejection.
nyp.33433074835731	In the midst of the excitement, the calm voice of Bromley Bar could be heard: “ What time is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074835731	Is n't that a fact? ” “ Do n’t put it that way.
nyp.33433074835731	It seems that she suffered from an acute attack of indigestion. ” “ How do you know? ” “ From the apothecary of the boat.
nyp.33433074835731	Like to see him? ” he asked with a challeng- ing air.
nyp.33433074835731	Please tell me everything if you expect my help. ” “ You will help me, then? ” she asked eagerly.
nyp.33433074835731	She dropped her reserve as if it were a mask and said quickly: “ Are you hurt? ” “ Oh, no, ” he began carelessly, “ I — ” He paused.
nyp.33433074835731	Since the death of his wife a few years ago he has lived practically alone. ” “ Except his son? ” “ Yes, of course.
nyp.33433074835731	The Anonymous Cards 261 “ Do n’t you recognize that? ” “ No, I do n't. ”- The old man turned up the gas in the hallway.
nyp.33433074835731	The Leather Bag 251 “ Is that you, Williams?
nyp.33433074835731	The Thirteenth Treaty 25 “ How — how dare you come in here? ” she cried, trembling with fear and anger.
nyp.33433074835731	Was it an accident?
nyp.33433074835731	Was it murder?
nyp.33433074835731	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433074835731	What do you make of it? ” “ I make nothing of it, ” snapped the old man ir- ritably; “ the cards are anonymous.
nyp.33433074835731	What do you think of it? ” “ It's too deep for me, ” replied Forward, scratch- ing his head in a perplexed way.
nyp.33433074835731	What do you want? ” Barnes looked at him intently and spoke with great deliberation.
nyp.33433074835731	What does that mean?
nyp.33433074835731	What else? ” She puckered up her pretty mouth.
nyp.33433074835731	What happened? ” “ They got into a discussion about — about me. ” “ What was the result? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074835731	What happened? ” “ They got into a discussion about — about me. ” “ What was the result? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074835731	What happens this morning?
nyp.33433074835731	What more could a man wish?
nyp.33433074835731	What was he and why was he? ” The affair, in Mrs. Hobbs'eyes, was too tragic for smiles.
nyp.33433074835731	What was his occupation, and what was the meaning of his sudden agitation?
nyp.33433074835731	What would Bromley Barnes say, if he knew?
nyp.33433074835731	What's the use of talking about such silly things? ” They smoked in silence for some moments.
nyp.33433074835731	Where had Percival Roberts gone?
nyp.33433074835731	Where is the proof of what you say? ” Percival Roberts took a turn up and down the room before replying.
nyp.33433074835731	Where was it now?
nyp.33433074835731	Where was it?
nyp.33433074835731	Who had taken the treaty?
nyp.33433074835731	Who placed the infernal machine there, and what was his motive?
nyp.33433074835731	Who was he?
nyp.33433074835731	Why had they taken it?
nyp.33433074835731	Will you help me? ” “ Yes, ” was the prompt reply, “ but you've got to help me first.
nyp.33433074835731	Winslow died almost immedi- ately. ” “ How do you know Winslow was at the front door? ” asked Captain Campbell.
nyp.33433074835731	Would he be equal to it?
nyp.33433074835731	Would you mind looking? ” Tenderly the officer began a search of the cloth- ing of his late superior.
nyp.33433074835731	You are interested in that? ” “ Very much so, ” she replied bitterly.
nyp.33433074835731	You know him, do you?
nyp.33433074835731	“ Am I to understand that I am accused of mur- dering Hugh Helverson? ” The captain was about to speak when Bromley Barnes stepped forward.
nyp.33433074835731	“ An old man. ” “ Did n't you think it a peculiar message? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074835731	“ And you would n't even go out to solve some of those knotty customs cases? ” insinuated For- ward.
nyp.33433074835731	“ And you? ” cried the wine merchant, wheeling around to the Chief.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Are these all of the papers? ” he asked the girl.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Are you Bromley Barnes? ” “ I have that honor. ” The druggist gave a sigh of relief.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Because the spilled tobacco from his pipe was not only in the hallway but on the front step. ” “ But the time?
nyp.33433074835731	“ But Williams — will he be here? ” Barnes smiled.
nyp.33433074835731	“ By what evidence? ” he murmured.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Can you ever forgive me? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Chief, is n't the Government running a big risk in having so many aliens in such an arsenal?
nyp.33433074835731	“ Come on, Brewster, ” he said, “ it ’s Friday morning. ” “ When was the treaty to be signed? ” asked Barnes of the Secretary.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Did Winslow smoke? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Did n't you assist the President in preparing the document for Congress? ” Wheatley shook his head and smiled happily.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Did you bring it with you? ” asked Barnes.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Did you bring the box with you? ” 244 Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes “ I did. ” “ Did you bring the letter? ” she asked in turn.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Did you bring the box with you? ” 244 Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes “ I did. ” “ Did you bring the letter? ” she asked in turn.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Did you notice this? ” he asked the captain.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Do n’t — do n't you think that you are the one to explain?
nyp.33433074835731	“ Do you suppose, ” asked the detective, mus- ingly, “ that the clicking of the keyboard could con- vey anything to a person on the outside?
nyp.33433074835731	“ Do you think he's the fellow you're after? ” asked Clancy, as they moved away.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Do? ” shouted the old man, merrily, his eyes dancing with a vision of victory.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Got what? ” “ Nine cards.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Have you a key? ” “ Clancy, ” directed the Chief, “ find the janitor and bring him here at once.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Have you anything that will serve as a target? ’ ” The young man looked at his chief curiously.
nyp.33433074835731	“ He was put there by his brother. ” “ His brother? ” “ Yes, Mr. James, who rented the room.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How P"“ Did n't you know that Jack has been accused of the murder? ” she asked in surprise.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How can it be helped?
nyp.33433074835731	“ How dare you come and trifle with me in this manner? ” The Chief looked at her gravely.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How did you get in here? ” demanded the red- headed one.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How did you know my name was Cozzens? ” asked the Chief, sharply.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How did you know there would be an explo- sion? ” he asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How does that strike you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How long have you had this? ” he finally asked.
nyp.33433074835731	“ How — how can I do it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074835731	“ I will produce the real culprit. ” “ What? ” gasped Campbell.
nyp.33433074835731	“ I ’m not — that's the meanest part of it. ” “ Why the meanest part of it? ” La Rue looked at his questioner dumbly for a mo- ment.
nyp.33433074835731	“ I ’ve humiliated myself sufficiently in coming here to meet you. ” “ Just a bite for the sake of appearances? ” he sug- gested.
nyp.33433074835731	“ I? ” was the response.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Is that Bromley Barnes? ” came from the other end of the wire.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Miss Richards, I believe? ” She looked at him from a pair of winsome eyes.
nyp.33433074835731	“ My old friend, ” he said gently, “ can you stand a shock? ” “ Why — er — yes. ” he stammered in wonder.
nyp.33433074835731	“ No, I left that job to the regular messenger boy. ” “ Will he deliver it? ” “ Sure; he's to be paid at the other end.
nyp.33433074835731	“ No, I was alone. ” “ Did the chauffeur open the door of the vehicle to let you in or out? ” “ No, he never left his seat.
nyp.33433074835731	“ No, but I ’m seeing things. ” “ Seeing things? ” echoed Cornelius, with a ges- ture of respectful curiosity.
nyp.33433074835731	“ No, but I'm willing. ” “ What's the case? ” “ Stolen antiques.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Not — not right away. ” “ What happened?
nyp.33433074835731	“ Now, what about the first adventure? ” asked Forward.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Now, you've got them out, what do you pro- pose to do with them? ” “ I dunno, ” was the helpless reply.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Oh, for a long while. ” “ Do you use it much? ” “ Almost constantly.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Postpone this nonsense, ” he said, “ until the doc- tor has finished his work. ” “ Are you a doctor? ” she queried.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Professor Rosetti, I believe? ” said the detec- tive, rising.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Say, ” he cried, “ have you thought of Sarto? ” “ What — the Jap? ” “ The very same.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Say, ” he cried, “ have you thought of Sarto? ” “ What — the Jap? ” “ The very same.
nyp.33433074835731	“ The old theory of the scene of the murder, eh?
nyp.33433074835731	“ W111 this do? ” “ Yes, it's just the thing.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Well, Forward? ” “ Your speculations proved correct.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Well, why not apply that theory in this case?
nyp.33433074835731	“ What are you going to do — shadow them? ” The detective put the book in his vest pocket.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What are you going to do? ” “ I ’m going to try a little experiment; I'm going to try and hit the bull's eye. ” She gave a shriek.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What are you talking about? ” he asked, grab- bing the young man and peering into his face.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean that you were jealous of Hugh Hel- verson's growing fame. ” “ It's a lie!
nyp.33433074835731	“ What do you think of it, Chief? ” “ I think it's a bit fishy, ” interjected Forward, who seemed out of sorts.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What is it? ” insisted the other, impatiently.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What shall I order for you? ” asked Dr. Ram- sey.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What time did he go to bed? ” “ About midnight.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What — what do you mean? ” he faltered.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What's the matter, Hale? ” demanded Barnes.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What's the matter? ” snapped Forward, whose nerves were on edge.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What's the meaning of this nonsense? ” he shouted in tones husky with rage.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What's the trouble?
nyp.33433074835731	“ What's this? ” asked the Chief.
nyp.33433074835731	“ What's — what's the meaning of this? ” he stammered.
nyp.33433074835731	“ When? ’ Barnes looked at his watch.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Where now, sir? ” asked the chauffeur, who had been so suddenly commandeered.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Who are they? ” “ First, the colored thief, Madison.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Who returned it? ” “ A conductor of one of the cross- town cars.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Who ’s that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Why did n't you tell us this before, Anton? ” asked Barnes, reprovingly.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Why not ask him what he wants? ” suggested Clancy with undreamed- of wisdom.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Why should I?
nyp.33433074835731	“ Yes, sir; what can I do for you? ” “ I came to see about the advertisement of the leather bag. ” Her eyes sparkled.
nyp.33433074835731	“ You had a race across the ocean? ” “ Yes, sir, with the Swan under Captain Jules LeFevre.
nyp.33433074835731	“ You have a message for me? ” questioned the detective.
nyp.33433074835731	“ You know Senator Hance, Bromley? ” “ I have that honor, Mr. Secretary, ” said Brom- ley, bowing.
nyp.33433074835731	“ You understand something about medicine; you've dabbled in Latin? ” “ What I know about medicine would n't save a sick kitten.
nyp.33433074835731	“ You — you mean to say that you are a spy? ” His face reddened.
nyp.33433074835731	“ Your check?
nyp.33433074947684	A man may visit his own wife's house, may n't he 2 If he ca n't, what's the law for, and res- titution of conjugal rights, I ask you?
nyp.33433074947684	Am I his son, dear mother? ” He said it caressingly.
nyp.33433074947684	Besides, had she not come to meet Hubert once more?
nyp.33433074947684	Do you take me for an idiot?
nyp.33433074947684	Do you think I came all the way from Lugano for that?
nyp.33433074947684	Egremont, can she bring down a shawl or cape for you?
nyp.33433074947684	Epilepsy, insanity, drunken- ness, paralysis — how could you burden your son with such legacies as those, mother? ” Mrs. Egremont trembled.
nyp.33433074947684	Ha, ha, ha old boy; you and I were always good chums together, were n't we? ” He tottered out of the room on the doctor's arm.
nyp.33433074947684	He had served in India. ” “ A colonel?
nyp.33433074947684	How dare I?
nyp.33433074947684	How dare you? ” And he threw the Colonel aside with a violent effort.
nyp.33433074947684	How the dickens can you fall in love with the girls you do n't see? ” And he snapped his jaw firmly.
nyp.33433074947684	Hubert, Hubert, need I say any more to you? ” Hubert leaned eagerly forward.
nyp.33433074947684	I ask you, is that practical? ” A Florentine Nobleman.
nyp.33433074947684	I'm a bit screwed, I think, and you'll see me home, Rawson, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074947684	I'm a free man, am I not?
nyp.33433074947684	I2 I you? ” he wenton, with hateful banter.
nyp.33433074947684	I25 suppose I was going to take the trouble to get Sober, just because I was coming to see you, do you?

nyp.33433074947684	I69 yourself with such marked discourtesy at such a juncture? ” Sir Emilius glanced at Hubert imploringly.
nyp.33433074947684	That creature"Oh, mother, can you mean it?
nyp.33433074947684	We have to think of personal considerations also. ” “ Such as what? ” Hubert asked, pouncing down upon him.
nyp.33433074947684	Why, why, Mr. Egremont?
nyp.33433074947684	Will you assault your father? ” “ Your son 1"Hubert cried, hardly able to Colonel Egremont Sees his Way.
nyp.33433074947684	mont — one of the best in Lancashire — all for nothing?
nyp.33433074947684	‘ Will he chase her?'
nyp.33433074947684	“ And madame's shawl, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074947684	“ Anybody of the name of Egremont in the hotel? ” he asked, in a confidential tone.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Colonel Egremont? — he was.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Did you ring, sir? ” Colonel Egremont turned upon him with a scowl that made the man tremble.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Do you hear what I say?
nyp.33433074947684	“ Fede not come, I suppose? ” Hubert began again, stretching himself and fondling his muscle.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Forgive you?
nyp.33433074947684	“ Have you ever seen the tombs of the Volumnii, near Assisi? ” “ I visited them last year, ” Hubert answered, growing interested.
nyp.33433074947684	“ How can I burden Fede with such a future? ” he cried in his despair.
nyp.33433074947684	“ How could you be so imprudent 2 What should I do if Hubert were to come up and see you?
nyp.33433074947684	“ How dare you enter this room, sir? ” he cried, moving forward.
nyp.33433074947684	“ How dare you lay your hands on this lady? ” And a twitch in his foot displayed his first impulse.
nyp.33433074947684	“ How dare you speak of the Marchesa, my daughter, as Fede to my face, in the very same breath in which you tell me you do not mean to marry her?
nyp.33433074947684	“ How dare you, sir? ” the Marchese cried, turning upon him.
nyp.33433074947684	“ How dare you?
nyp.33433074947684	“ How dare you? ”- Sir Emilius laid one hand on the intruder's shoulder.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Hubert| Hubert|"she cried, “ what is all that to me, dearest?
nyp.33433074947684	“ I can see that instantly. ” “ Why not? ” the concierge asked, surprised in turn at his visitor's confidence.
nyp.33433074947684	“ I see you wanted to shield me — oh, my God, from what?
nyp.33433074947684	“ I would always know it. ” “ The truthis best? ” Mrs. Egremont echoed, with a faint tremor of the lips.
nyp.33433074947684	“ If he is not going to marry my daughter, how dare he tell me he has feelings of affection for her?
nyp.33433074947684	“ May I, papa? ” Fede asked, looking up at him.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Not alarmed, I hope, mother? ” 42 A Splendid Sin.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Notes?
nyp.33433074947684	“ Of what? ” Hubert asked, turning quickly towards her.
nyp.33433074947684	“ So that's how things lie, is it? ” he cried, steadying himself by the lintel of the window.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Then why does he come back? ” the Mar- chese demanded, in a rather acrid tone.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Then your sentence is for open war? ” he said rhetorically.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Thinks he's bound not to marry you? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074947684	“ To the house again? ” he inquired, with apparent unwillingness.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Well, I'm not north of the Alps, am I? ” he answered, gazing about him at the mountains with un- ruffled geniality.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Well, what are they any way? ” the detective asked, with a quiet smile.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Well? ” the Marchese said coldly, looking across at his opponent.
nyp.33433074947684	“ What are you up to? ” the detective asked, in a warning voice.
nyp.33433074947684	“ What do you mean by this return, sir? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074947684	“ What mountain did you say Mr. Egremont had ascended to- day? ” he inquired, with a curious air of interest.
nyp.33433074947684	“ What name shall I enter 7"“ What's that to you? ” the Colonel answered, growing redder than before.
nyp.33433074947684	“ What, a joy forever? ” he exclaimed, with one of his odious leers.
nyp.33433074947684	“ What, the poet? ” he cried, gasping.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Who told you? ” Cecco inquired, drawing yet a step nearer to her.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Why should n't you marry her? ” “ You do n't understand, ” Hubert cried.
nyp.33433074947684	“ Why, who's got a legal right to be here if it is n’t me, I should like to know 2 Eh, eh?
nyp.33433074947684	“ With a father such as that, how can I?
nyp.33433074947684	“ You demand an explana- tion? ” he said slowly, facing him.
nyp.33433074947684	“ You were wrong when you said, ‘ You fall in love with the girls you see; how the dickens can you fall in love with the girls you do n't see?'
nyp.33433074872429	Surely, Mr. Macbean, you are n't wonder- ing who wagged the long tongue now?
nyp.33433074872429	'The Last Rose'?
nyp.33433074872429	- “ What right have you on this side of the Murray, you Sidney- sider?
nyp.33433074872429	And what about that fall?
nyp.33433074872429	And what had he said he was, the time before?
nyp.33433074872429	And you wanted to have me all to yourself?
nyp.33433074872429	Any other point on which you could wish enlightenment?
nyp.33433074872429	Before it comes to choosing, however, is it any good asking what you've done with the real bishop and the real chaplain?
nyp.33433074872429	But make sure you have n't killed him as it is — travelling a sick man like that. ” “ Killed him?
nyp.33433074872429	But what about you? ” he added, suddenly, his eyes resting on his sardonic visitor, who had disguised himself far less than his horse.
nyp.33433074872429	But where the deuce are we?
nyp.33433074872429	But, I say, what's this?
nyp.33433074872429	Can you ride? ” “ I have ridden. ” “ And ye’ll do any rough job I set ye to P ” “ The rougher the better. ” “ That's all I ask.
nyp.33433074872429	Criminal, was he?
nyp.33433074872429	Did Punch do it justice, or was there some jealousy in that rival hot- bed of wit and wisdom?
nyp.33433074872429	Did she know after all who he was?
nyp.33433074872429	Did you never hear a Sydney- side drover blowing about his bloom- ing Colony?
nyp.33433074872429	Do you live so near the border, and can you ask?
nyp.33433074872429	Got a fresh horse in? ” “ I have so!
nyp.33433074872429	Have n't you heard of Sydney Harbor till you're sick?
nyp.33433074872429	Have you any handcuffs?
nyp.33433074872429	He may hear it! ” “ You said the bird had flown. ” “ You dare to argue with me?
nyp.33433074872429	He might prove the im- mediate instrument of their capture — why not?
nyp.33433074872429	Hear that tune, and know what it is?
nyp.33433074872429	How could you have taken them from me? ” Kentish shrugged once more.
nyp.33433074872429	I am ashamed to ask it — but will you do one little thing more for me? ” “ Name it! ” “ It is only to make assurance doubly sure.
nyp.33433074872429	I hope to take the mur- derer to- night. ”[ 2 I5] STINGAREE “ Stingaree? ”- “ Not quite so loud, please.
nyp.33433074872429	I never missed them; they are not like any I ever had. ” “ Do n’t you remember the man who chased you out and misfired at you six times?
nyp.33433074872429	I only stumbled across it by accident myself. ” “ Lately?"
nyp.33433074872429	I suppose you've heard how he took the news?
nyp.33433074872429	I trusted you, and so you trusted me; if only you had known, eh?
nyp.33433074872429	I wonder what they think we've done with our horses?
nyp.33433074872429	If you would still be y?
nyp.33433074872429	In fact, we found him with his own revolver fast in his hand, and a finger frozen to the trigger, but not a chamber discharged. ” “ Yes?
nyp.33433074872429	Is there any whiskey? ” “ Not for me! ” put in the whim- driver, with a frank shudder.
nyp.33433074872429	It was you who took that black fellow who murdered the shepherd on Woolshed Creek, was n't it? ” The admission was made with due modesty.
nyp.33433074872429	Lies pretty still, does n't he?
nyp.33433074872429	May I ask the name of your master? ” “ My own name — Bouverie.
nyp.33433074872429	May I sit down instead of standing? ” “ You may. ” “ We are a good many yards apart. ” “ You may reduce them by half.
nyp.33433074872429	Might he not in any case have said or written some pregnant word for her?
nyp.33433074872429	No nonsense? ” “ You shall see. ” “ I should shoot you like a native cat. ” “ You could n't do me a better turn. ” “ Right!
nyp.33433074872429	Pretty tall, that, eh?
nyp.33433074872429	Should you have said that your hand would recoil from a revolver the moment it went off?
nyp.33433074872429	So you were really going to take me this time, were you?

njp.32101065840348	Is there anything else you wish, Miss Marlowe?
njp.32101065840348	Is there something I can get for you, Miss Marlowe?
njp.32101065840348	Is this place quiet enough for your purpose?
njp.32101065840348	It started in college when I —"Then you're a college man?
njp.32101065840348	It's really true, then, that your only motive was just to make money?
njp.32101065840348	Just what Mr. Franklin is that, Cordelia?
njp.32101065840348	Just what might have been the nature of your business with the legal gentleman, Gladys, my dear?
njp.32101065840348	Just which two lies are you referring to?
njp.32101065840348	Just who are you?
njp.32101065840348	Lies? njp.32101065840348 Lies?"
njp.32101065840348	Me? njp.32101065840348 More?"
njp.32101065840348	Mother Cordelia,promptly interjected Francois,"do n't you think that Mitchell looks funny without his other coat?
njp.32101065840348	Mother been telling tales?
njp.32101065840348	Mrs. Jacqueline Thorndike, the school friend you con- sulted when you feared you had lost your fortune?
njp.32101065840348	My rabbit will look funny in that coat, wo n't he?
njp.32101065840348	My terms?
njp.32101065840348	Not bad is it, for just letting some one point a camera at your face? njp.32101065840348 Now that we have all the facts,"said Cordelia,"just what are you going to do to get Gladys out of this mess?
njp.32101065840348	Now will you? njp.32101065840348 Of course, Mitchell, you do not intend to remain a butler?"
njp.32101065840348	Or else?
njp.32101065840348	Or else?
njp.32101065840348	Pardon me, Miss Stevens,he said,"but wo n't you finish your dinner?
njp.32101065840348	Pictures? njp.32101065840348 See here, infant — how about all this boozing you're doing these days?"
njp.32101065840348	Shall I serve you tea, Miss Marlowe?
njp.32101065840348	Since you are giving me a catalogue, what is the name of the third?
njp.32101065840348	So that's it? njp.32101065840348 So — he's really alive?
njp.32101065840348	Tell what you know about me?
njp.32101065840348	Tell you what, Miss Marlowe — why should you and I stop with this pageant? njp.32101065840348 Terms?"
njp.32101065840348	The better nature of a scoundrel? njp.32101065840348 The great Mitchell mystery?"
njp.32101065840348	The great heiress — that Miss Norworth?
njp.32101065840348	Then how did it happen that you became a butler?
njp.32101065840348	Then why did you tell them?
njp.32101065840348	Then you do not accept?'' njp.32101065840348 Then you have learned something already?"
njp.32101065840348	Then you think she'll do?
njp.32101065840348	Then you will go, as soon as arrangements are made?
njp.32101065840348	Then you wo n't give your consent?
njp.32101065840348	To be exact, a million and a half a year, less your taxes?
njp.32101065840348	Under the name of Mitchell, or your own?
njp.32101065840348	Was n't Jeanne there to tell you another story?
njp.32101065840348	Was your business concerning Miss Marlowe?
njp.32101065840348	Well?
njp.32101065840348	Went to work; what else was there for a chap in my fix to do?
njp.32101065840348	What am I going to do? njp.32101065840348 What are the terms?"
njp.32101065840348	What are you going to do about it?
njp.32101065840348	What are you trying to say?
njp.32101065840348	What college?
njp.32101065840348	What did she say?
njp.32101065840348	What did you do?
njp.32101065840348	What have you got, you poor ninny? njp.32101065840348 What is it?"
njp.32101065840348	What is it?
njp.32101065840348	What is it?
njp.32101065840348	What is that?
njp.32101065840348	What is that?' njp.32101065840348 What letter?"
njp.32101065840348	What other card can there be?
njp.32101065840348	What other motive could I have?
njp.32101065840348	What reason is that?
njp.32101065840348	What shall I call you?
njp.32101065840348	What sum had you in mind when you mentioned'ade- quate remuneration'?
njp.32101065840348	What terms did you think of offering?
njp.32101065840348	What time shall I serve dinner, Miss Norworth?
njp.32101065840348	What was his idea in acting as a butler?
njp.32101065840348	What was that?
njp.32101065840348	What — what is it, Cordelia?
njp.32101065840348	What's all this about?
njp.32101065840348	What's he doing, now that he's stopped being a butler?
njp.32101065840348	What's it to me? njp.32101065840348 What's next?"
njp.32101065840348	What's the matter this morning, Gladys?
njp.32101065840348	What's this about?
njp.32101065840348	What's up now, Jackie?
njp.32101065840348	What, for instance?
njp.32101065840348	When do you want me to begin? njp.32101065840348 When is a lie not a lie?
njp.32101065840348	When?
njp.32101065840348	Where does she get that'dear little'stuff?
njp.32101065840348	Who is he?
njp.32101065840348	Who knows? njp.32101065840348 Who's that, Mother Esther?"
njp.32101065840348	Why did you wish to see me?
njp.32101065840348	Why have you been dodging me the whole evening?
njp.32101065840348	Why have you gotten this money for Francois?
njp.32101065840348	Why should n't I kiss Jerry? njp.32101065840348 Why this sudden change?
njp.32101065840348	Why, what's this all about, Esther?
njp.32101065840348	Wo n't you let me return this hospitality in advance, by being your host at lunch to- day? njp.32101065840348 Would Master Francois like to come with Mitchell?"
njp.32101065840348	Would n't I? njp.32101065840348 Would you mind telling me, Miss Marlowe, just why you wrote that advertisement?"
njp.32101065840348	Yes, who are you?
njp.32101065840348	Yes? njp.32101065840348 Yes?"
njp.32101065840348	You are sure you are not disappointed in what I have done?
njp.32101065840348	You can be ready in half an hour, Cordelia?
njp.32101065840348	You mean Francois?
njp.32101065840348	You mean to say — you've taken tips from Gladys'guests?
njp.32101065840348	You realize, of course, that you are practising black- mail?
njp.32101065840348	You realize, of course, that you are practising black- mail?
njp.32101065840348	You see I'm just the victim of bad luck, Cordie, do n't you? njp.32101065840348 You think Jerry Plimpton will marry you?
njp.32101065840348	You wo n't let me?
njp.32101065840348	You wrote the advertisement to which this letter re- fers?
njp.32101065840348	You'd try to back out of it, would you? njp.32101065840348 You'll never get him away from me?"
njp.32101065840348	You'll tell me a story?
njp.32101065840348	You're coming out to Gladys Norworth's for the week- end?
njp.32101065840348	'"Have I been dodging you?"
njp.32101065840348	176 CORDELIA THE MAGNIFICENT Away from Rolling Meadows, what might not Cordelia do'or say?
njp.32101065840348	43 44 CORDELIA THE MAGNIFICENT"You got my signal?"
njp.32101065840348	74 CORDELIA THE MAGNIFICENT"Will you please stop'my clearing'me?"
njp.32101065840348	A RIDE WITH MITCHELL 155"Do you consider that honorable for a man?"
njp.32101065840348	A man is entitled to two minor secrets in his life, is n't he?
njp.32101065840348	A really live bunny that can really eat?"
njp.32101065840348	A reason that will bring her here?"
njp.32101065840348	A semi- scoundrel or a villain competent to conceive and manage a great scheme, and who was now managing it?
njp.32101065840348	ALL THE KING'S HORSES 335"You mean Cordie?
njp.32101065840348	About the first of last June your entire family fortune was swept away, was it not?"
njp.32101065840348	After all, had she really been the person who had directed that interview?
njp.32101065840348	Against such considerations as these, what chance was there for an elderly youngish poet and his beautiful words?
njp.32101065840348	All ready for a shock like that?"
njp.32101065840348	All ready?"
njp.32101065840348	Am I not honest?"
njp.32101065840348	And Ailine?
njp.32101065840348	And Gladys?
njp.32101065840348	And did Mitchell suspect what she had really been doing that night? — what was her real purpose at Rolling Meadows?
njp.32101065840348	And did Mitchell suspect what she had really been doing that night? — what was her real purpose at Rolling Meadows?
njp.32101065840348	And herself, Cordelia?
njp.32101065840348	And how?"
njp.32101065840348	And if he must blackmail, can you think of any individual belonging to any discovered sex who more thoroughly deserves to be blackmailed than Gladys?"
njp.32101065840348	And if nothing does turn up, what will happen to your mother?
njp.32101065840348	And if she wants a real girl friend, one that she can depend on, how about that step- sister of hers?
njp.32101065840348	And if so, what was his purpose?
njp.32101065840348	And just looking at her, could n't you just see why she was so popular? — so undeniably a leader in her own bril- liant set?
njp.32101065840348	And just looking at her, could n't you just see why she was so popular? — so undeniably a leader in her own bril- liant set?
njp.32101065840348	And let your mothers finish their dinner?"
njp.32101065840348	And now I hope that's everything?"
njp.32101065840348	And on what piece of work?"
njp.32101065840348	And our being privately retained by Miss Norworth's trustees to make an investigation of certain matters?
njp.32101065840348	And par- ticularly just how much of a scoundrel?
njp.32101065840348	And the other one?"
njp.32101065840348	And then after a moment:"Just what did you think you might do for us?"
njp.32101065840348	And then — well, after she explained, would Jerry, could Jerry, fully understand?
njp.32101065840348	And to Francois:"Do n't you want Mitchell to tell you a nice story?
njp.32101065840348	And to- day?
njp.32101065840348	And what makes you so angry?
njp.32101065840348	And what?"
njp.32101065840348	And when?
njp.32101065840348	And where was there any romance in a servant going to work for wages?
njp.32101065840348	And who knows that I'm not taking Gladys'money, while she's still got it, in order to save and invest it for Francois'later use?
njp.32101065840348	And why had he done it?
njp.32101065840348	And why should n't I have taken tips?
njp.32101065840348	And with my record for arrests, who would take me on as a careful family driver?"
njp.32101065840348	And yes — that some- thing he had started to tell her or ask her, and then had checked himself — what could that something have been?
njp.32101065840348	And your sister — what will become of her?"
njp.32101065840348	Any objections?"
njp.32101065840348	Are you coming?"
njp.32101065840348	Are you trying to double- cross me?"
njp.32101065840348	As a matter of fact, was any of your money paid to Miss Marlowe directly or indirectly, that you can prove to have been blackmail money?"
njp.32101065840348	As a"—he hesitated—'"as one of your friends?
njp.32101065840348	At another table the irrepressible Lily was whispering:"I say, Mr. Franklin — what do you think of that pair?
njp.32101065840348	Because Jerry did n't pre- fer to kiss you?"
njp.32101065840348	Beginning to get the idea?"
njp.32101065840348	But I'll be see- ing you to- night out at the Grastons?"
njp.32101065840348	But how about this evening, Cordie?
njp.32101065840348	But how are you going to get that money back?"
njp.32101065840348	But how save Jerry — without herself being the one to put him on his guard?
njp.32101065840348	But how was she going to finance herself until she was able to earn that much — say by learning to be a private secretary?
njp.32101065840348	But may I ask this: have yon given your promise to any other man?"
njp.32101065840348	But of course you'll clear the mat- ter up?"
njp.32101065840348	But sure you're all braced for a shock?"
njp.32101065840348	But the woman's voice — if there really had been a voice — had it been Gladys'or Esther's?
njp.32101065840348	But to help Gladys — is that your only motive for hunting down this story?"
njp.32101065840348	But when the War was over, and I was demobilized —""Then you were in service?"
njp.32101065840348	But where did you get that idea, not hesitating a second, of sending her out to that — what's her name? — Gladys Norworth?
njp.32101065840348	But where did you get that idea, not hesitating a second, of sending her out to that — what's her name? — Gladys Norworth?
njp.32101065840348	But with his two exceptions he had again adroitly aroused her curiosity, thrown her off her guard,"The third — what is that?"
njp.32101065840348	But would you mind telling me something about the situation?"
njp.32101065840348	By the way have n't I heard rumors that Mrs. Thorndike and Mr. Thorndike are — ah — having their little domestic troubles?"
njp.32101065840348	Ca n't I appeal to your better nature to drop this — this persecution?"
njp.32101065840348	Ca n't you run out again to- morrow?
njp.32101065840348	Can taper off on one of these infant's what- d'you- call-'ems? — rubber pacifiers.
njp.32101065840348	Could Mitchell be the father of the boy, as his light re- marks in the playhouse might suggest?
njp.32101065840348	Could she have been fooled?—been made the instru- ment of Mr. Franklin's devices?
njp.32101065840348	Could the explanation be that Mitchell had been secretly married, in France, to one of the two and that Francois was the son of that marriage?
njp.32101065840348	Could those things possibly be true?
njp.32101065840348	Did n't she?
njp.32101065840348	Did the mask ever slip off?
njp.32101065840348	Did you sign this contract at this date, or sign it much later?"
njp.32101065840348	Do n't some tennis clubs have pro- fessionals, the same as golf clubs?"
njp.32101065840348	Do n't you think it would make an even more de- licious story if Miss Norworth were to announce her com- ing marriage to the said former butler?"
njp.32101065840348	Do you want all your guests to hear you?
njp.32101065840348	Do you want me to pack my things and go home?"
njp.32101065840348	Does this line of talk make things any simpler?"
njp.32101065840348	Ever think of going into pictures?"
njp.32101065840348	For how can the man possibly lose who unsuspected by all has loaded the dice, stacked the cards?
njp.32101065840348	For you had been a captain, had n't you?—or something?"
njp.32101065840348	Gladys had demanded,"because he was once a mechanic?"
njp.32101065840348	HOW A GREAT DREAM TURNED OUT 311"Who are you,"she demanded,"to tell a mother that she is not the mother of her own child?"
njp.32101065840348	HOW IT PAID TO ADVERTISE 35"No one?"
njp.32101065840348	Have I lied in any statement that concerns you?"
njp.32101065840348	Have Miss Norworth and Miss Stevens had theirs?"
njp.32101065840348	Have you thought of anything?"
njp.32101065840348	How about Aunt Janet's place?
njp.32101065840348	How about it?"
njp.32101065840348	How could she possibly, possibly have laid herself open to such insulting overtures?
njp.32101065840348	How dared any one so insult her?
njp.32101065840348	How did you come to send her to this Gladys Norworth person?
njp.32101065840348	How good is she?"
njp.32101065840348	How many young doctors or lawyers save that much?"
njp.32101065840348	How much a year has it cost you to Kve?
njp.32101065840348	How much is a private secretary paid?"
njp.32101065840348	How was she to get facts such as she suspected from the lips of Gladys?
njp.32101065840348	How well do you know him — how far do you think you can trust him?"
njp.32101065840348	How will I account for the money to her?"
njp.32101065840348	How will she feel about it?"
njp.32101065840348	How?"
njp.32101065840348	How?"
njp.32101065840348	I am right in that conjecture?"
njp.32101065840348	I am still the only person who knows about your situation?
njp.32101065840348	I believe that is a correct summary of what we did, Miss Norworth?"
njp.32101065840348	I believe you remember all these things?—that you will admit that these are statements of facts?"
njp.32101065840348	I daresay you have already surmised what the matter is that I am referring to?"
njp.32101065840348	I hope you do n't mind"—he smiled pleasantly—"my being a partner in your secret?"
njp.32101065840348	I love you, Cordelia — I love you — don't you see how I love you?
njp.32101065840348	I might be — But why go on?
njp.32101065840348	I presume this latter will satisfy you?"
njp.32101065840348	I presume you can secure me an invitation?
njp.32101065840348	I suppose it was some- thing important?"
njp.32101065840348	I wonder, Miss Norworth, if you'd think I was running away from you if I were to ask Miss Marlowe to show me through a bit of it?"
njp.32101065840348	I wonder?"
njp.32101065840348	If Lily kept her present direction, what would this fledgling be when she reached the flapper maturity of seventeen or eighteen?
njp.32101065840348	If so, what would happen to her?
njp.32101065840348	If you wo n't marry me, will you work for me?"
njp.32101065840348	In the meantime could n't Cordelia do something?
njp.32101065840348	Instead of her having adroitly drawn his story from him, might the fact not be that he had been adroitly thrusting that story upon her?
njp.32101065840348	Is n't that reason enough?"
njp.32101065840348	Is that so?"
njp.32101065840348	Is there some friend you might visit while I am getting your next case prepared?"
njp.32101065840348	Is this arrangement a secret?"
njp.32101065840348	Jerry?
njp.32101065840348	Just date it — By the way, just when did Miss Marlowe begin her recent visit to you?"
njp.32101065840348	Just what was he, really?
njp.32101065840348	Just what was that secret — probably?
njp.32101065840348	Just who are you?"
njp.32101065840348	Just who might I be?
njp.32101065840348	Leave me alone?"
njp.32101065840348	Like to have'me turn you over my knee and spank you?"
njp.32101065840348	Marry you after you have told him Frangois is your childf — your ille- gitimate child?"
njp.32101065840348	May I ask what were your own plans prior to the time your mother gave you her bad news?"
njp.32101065840348	Miss Norworth, will you kindly ask Mrs. Marlowe and Mrs. Thorndike to join us for a few moments?"
njp.32101065840348	Mitchell, what did you do with your other coat?"
njp.32101065840348	Now I wonder if I should mention that?"
njp.32101065840348	Now that you know what he is,,how will you treat him if you ever happen to see him?"
njp.32101065840348	Now what d'you think of that?"
njp.32101065840348	Now which of the three of us is it going to be?
njp.32101065840348	Now, as a matter of fact, was any such plan made in advance, or was there not?"
njp.32101065840348	Oh, will you, Gladys, my dear?"
njp.32101065840348	Perhaps we'd better return to your original question: Just who am I?"
njp.32101065840348	Perhaps you met them in Paris?"
njp.32101065840348	Shall I get you a little something?"
njp.32101065840348	Shall I get you some hot tea and toast?"
njp.32101065840348	Shall we address him as My dear Jerry, Dearest Jerry, or just Dear Jerry?
njp.32101065840348	Shall we get along with our history?
njp.32101065840348	She glared at him in baffled puzzlement; then burst out:"What will you take — how much — to clear out of my life forever?
njp.32101065840348	Shocked, are you?
njp.32101065840348	So again the same question is put to you: Have you any little announce- ment you wish to make to the press concerning your mar- riage?"
njp.32101065840348	Still alive?"
njp.32101065840348	Suppose when her waking- up time comes the girl refuses to go ahead?"
njp.32101065840348	Tell — tell whom?"
njp.32101065840348	That is correct, is it not, Miss Norworth?"
njp.32101065840348	That is something very different, is it not?"
njp.32101065840348	That other wife, the child?"
njp.32101065840348	That's natural, is n't it — and very simple?"
njp.32101065840348	The others?
njp.32101065840348	The question came, Should she tell Jerry?
njp.32101065840348	Then I suppose Mitchell is not your real name?"
njp.32101065840348	Then Jackie demanded:"What's the matter, Cordie?
njp.32101065840348	Then she asked:"Advertising to do what?"
njp.32101065840348	Then, hesitantly:"Twenty- five?"
njp.32101065840348	This discussion ended, Cor- delia asked:"Have you any particular directions you wish to give me for my further action?"
njp.32101065840348	Very simple, is n't it?
njp.32101065840348	Want to ride with me?"
njp.32101065840348	Was Lily really se- rious, or merely trying to be glibly teasing and trying to give herself airs in what she had said about Mr. Franklin?
njp.32101065840348	Was his talk mere persiflage, fantastic foolery, or behind it was there a vein of seriousness?
njp.32101065840348	Was it pity, or curiosity, that some poet once re- marked was akin to love?
njp.32101065840348	Was n't she a beauty?
njp.32101065840348	Was she going to be found out?
njp.32101065840348	Was that butler's face of his merely a mask?
njp.32101065840348	Was this money which had been supporting the family, supporting her, all these months in reality the fruits of blackmail?
njp.32101065840348	We're all agreed on that — yes?"
njp.32101065840348	Were they investments for Francois?"
njp.32101065840348	What are some people often most eager to get and pay big money for?
njp.32101065840348	What are the interests we have in common?"
njp.32101065840348	What are the other conditions?"
njp.32101065840348	What could it mean?
njp.32101065840348	What do you think?"
njp.32101065840348	What else?"
njp.32101065840348	What have you to offer her?
njp.32101065840348	What have you to offer her?'
njp.32101065840348	What help could she possibly be to such a firm?
njp.32101065840348	What is it, anyhow, that you're up to?"
njp.32101065840348	What on earth is the matter with you?"
njp.32101065840348	What sort of a man was the real Mitchell?
njp.32101065840348	What sort of person would be revealed if ever that mask did slip its strings?
njp.32101065840348	What sort was the real Mitchell, at bottom?
njp.32101065840348	What was going to happen to her?
njp.32101065840348	What was it?"
njp.32101065840348	What was she ever, ever going to do?
njp.32101065840348	What was she, Cordelia, going to find out?
njp.32101065840348	What was the character of Mitchell's secret hold upon Gladys and Esther?
njp.32101065840348	What was the grand idea in treating me just as if I was n't here?"
njp.32101065840348	What was the strange thing that was going on in Gladys Norworth's affairs?
njp.32101065840348	What was the thing Mitchell had been on the point of telling her, or asking her, and about which he had decided to remain silent?
njp.32101065840348	What was the true relationship among the three?
njp.32101065840348	What was to be her fate?
njp.32101065840348	What would her world say when it learned?
njp.32101065840348	What're you going to do?"
njp.32101065840348	What's it all been about?"
njp.32101065840348	What's that to you?"
njp.32101065840348	What's the best way to start in?"
njp.32101065840348	When she takes a tumble to the real game, how are you going to handle her?"
njp.32101065840348	Where do I go from here?
njp.32101065840348	Who knew? — in- deed something might happen!
njp.32101065840348	Who knows that what I'm A RIDE WITH MITCHELL 157 doing is not merely taking out insurance for the son against his mother's folly?"
njp.32101065840348	Who knows when Gladys wo n't feel that she's got to throw Francois overboard to save herself?
njp.32101065840348	Who said I was making Gladys pay me more?"
njp.32101065840348	Who was Francois — really?
njp.32101065840348	Who was Mitchell — really?
njp.32101065840348	Who was he — really?
njp.32101065840348	Who was this"J."?
njp.32101065840348	Who were they?
njp.32101065840348	Who — who — and what — was the real Mitchell?
njp.32101065840348	Why are n't you asleep?"
njp.32101065840348	Why are you masquerading like this?
njp.32101065840348	Why not?
njp.32101065840348	Why not?"
njp.32101065840348	Why should Mitchell be studying her?
njp.32101065840348	Why should Mitchell, able to make Gladys pay any price for his silence, have chosen to become her butler?
njp.32101065840348	Why waste your time being a butler?"
njp.32101065840348	Why waste your time being a butler?"
njp.32101065840348	Why?"
njp.32101065840348	Will you be in the city to- day?"
njp.32101065840348	Will you excuse me if I think the matter over for a few minutes before answer- ing?"
njp.32101065840348	Will you soon be ready to start back?"
njp.32101065840348	Will you.. do something unpleasant for me?"
njp.32101065840348	Without exacting it or paying it how could we be comfortable and respectable?"
njp.32101065840348	Wo n't you be seated again?"
njp.32101065840348	Wo n't you please be seated?"
njp.32101065840348	Wo n't you please go on?"
njp.32101065840348	Would Cordelia ever make the great social figure that Jerry's mother had been?
njp.32101065840348	Would you be willing to stay on here in this school, where they do n't want you — if I told you to?"
njp.32101065840348	Yes?"
njp.32101065840348	You could use the money, could n't you?"
njp.32101065840348	You remember?"
njp.32101065840348	You see that, do n't you?"
njp.32101065840348	You so instructed, Miss Norworth?"
njp.32101065840348	You still promise that?"
njp.32101065840348	You understand that, do n't you, dear?
njp.32101065840348	You're trying to hide your identity?"
njp.32101065840348	You've asked her?"
njp.32101065840348	Your new plan is n't going to interfere with that?"
njp.32101065840348	required to write on a typewriter?—and why was money sent payable to cash or bearer?
njp.32101065840348	— even had he possessed, and arranged in beautiful sequence, all the beautiful words of the world?
nyp.33433074878772	- “ D'you think so?
nyp.33433074878772	- “ May I speak to you a moment? ” she said shyly.
nyp.33433074878772	- “ Your dossier? ” repeated the Senator in amaze- nent.
nyp.33433074878772	132 THE END OF HER HONEYMOON “ Is that Mrs. Dampier's suggestion? ” “ No, father, it's mine.
nyp.33433074878772	A good many of my pen- sioners have been dangerous customers in their time — but now?
nyp.33433074878772	Also we shall meet no English there. ” “ Do n’t you like English people? ” she asked, a little protestingly.
nyp.33433074878772	And father?
nyp.33433074878772	And now?
nyp.33433074878772	And then he said, “ Well? ” “ Well, father, there's not much to tell.
nyp.33433074878772	And, Daisy?
nyp.33433074878772	Burton, ” she exclaimed, her voice full of concern, “ I ’m afraid this has made you THE END OF HER HONEY MOON III feel ill?
nyp.33433074878772	Burton?
nyp.33433074878772	But Gerald?
nyp.33433074878772	But had he been an artist, Monsieur le Sénateur, would the Count have been traced?
nyp.33433074878772	But surely after she had explained the extraordinary occurrence of the morn- ing he would understand?
nyp.33433074878772	But what is this he is now saying, in a voice which is so unsteady, so oddly unlike his own?
nyp.33433074878772	But what was this the lady who called herself Mrs. Dampier saying?
nyp.33433074878772	But — but, Monsieur le Sénateur?
nyp.33433074878772	C'est vous, mademoiselle? ” And Dampier shouted back in French, “ It ’s Mr. and Mrs. Dampier.
nyp.33433074878772	Daisy, my dear —? ” He stopped short, and his daughter looked at him, surprised.
nyp.33433074878772	Dampier?
nyp.33433074878772	Did he say the ugly words aloud?
nyp.33433074878772	Do you not think that I ought to go there, to- day?
nyp.33433074878772	Does that mean — yes, of course it must mean, that Gerald is going away, back to America?
nyp.33433074878772	Especially if they persist in saying I came alone? ” she smiled, a tearful little smile.
nyp.33433074878772	From what you tell me, you have already done what I may call the usual things? ” “ Yes, ” said Senator Burton frankly.
nyp.33433074878772	Gerald, who was gen- erally speaking rather nonchalant, and very, very critical of women?
nyp.33433074878772	Gerald?
nyp.33433074878772	Have you ever been here before? ” And for the first time since they met the night be- fore, the young man smiles.
nyp.33433074878772	He tried quiet expostulation: “ Surely, Gerald, you are not serious in making such a decision?
nyp.33433074878772	He turned to the attendant:-‘‘How much do I owe you? ” he asked briefly.
nyp.33433074878772	How should we have such a thing?
nyp.33433074878772	I am sure I may count on your discretion, and, may I add, your sympathy? ” The English lawyer looked straight at the suave- spoken detective.
nyp.33433074878772	I fear I am a little early? ” He slipped a five franc piece into the man's hand.
nyp.33433074878772	I gather that the vanished man's wife is a charming person? ”- “ Extremely charming! ” said the Senator quickly.
nyp.33433074878772	I wo n’t have you seeing Paris from an ugly angle the first time — darling! ” “ But Jack?
nyp.33433074878772	I ’m afraid! ” “ Afraid? ” she repeated wonderingly.
nyp.33433074878772	I, it seems, must put up with a garret! ” “ Oh, must you be far away from me? ” she asked a little plaintively.
nyp.33433074878772	Is it not possible that this young lady and her husband had a quarrel?
nyp.33433074878772	Is my search at an end? ”- “ Yes, ” she whispers.
nyp.33433074878772	Jack had made a mistake — how could he have brought her to such a place?
nyp.33433074878772	Nancy went on:—“Could I go this morning?
nyp.33433074878772	Nancy?
nyp.33433074878772	Now what could it have been?
nyp.33433074878772	O grave, where is thy victory? ” Comfortable words!
nyp.33433074878772	Perquisition?
nyp.33433074878772	Senator Burton?
nyp.33433074878772	Senator, might go into the matter more thoroughly? ” Unsuspiciously Nancy Dampier fell in with the plan.
nyp.33433074878772	Senator?
nyp.33433074878772	She put the tray down on the bed, and she was already making her way quickly, silently to the door, when Nancy called out urgently, “ Madame?
nyp.33433074878772	She wanted to be actually present at it, did n’t she, Gerald? ” The young man nodded.
nyp.33433074878772	Stephens'office? ” He spoke questioningly: and after what seemed a long pause the answer came, muffled but audible.
nyp.33433074878772	Stephens?
nyp.33433074878772	Stephens?
nyp.33433074878772	Still, I thought I must wake you now, for father wants to know if you would mind him going to our Embassy about your husband?
nyp.33433074878772	Surely there'll be nothing to see on the Boulevards now? ” “ Wo n’t there?
nyp.33433074878772	Surely there'll be nothing to see on the Boulevards now? ” “ Wo n’t there?
nyp.33433074878772	Surely you do n’t want me to leave Nancy this morning of all mornings?
nyp.33433074878772	Surely you expect us?
nyp.33433074878772	Surely you have some near relation who would come to you? ” Nancy shook her head.
nyp.33433074878772	THE END OF HER HONEYMOON 205 “ Father? ” He leant across the round table.
nyp.33433074878772	The Poulains?
nyp.33433074878772	The Senator turned to Nancy: “ Had n't we better go in and wait? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878772	Then it was true after all?
nyp.33433074878772	Then she was “ madame ” again?
nyp.33433074878772	Then the Commissary of Police had been to some trouble for him after all?
nyp.33433074878772	Then—“Is your brother gone out? ” he said abruptly.
nyp.33433074878772	These were English people?
nyp.33433074878772	They thought — what did they not think, poor, foolish people?
nyp.33433074878772	Think how awful it would be if- if after I had done such a thing I found that poor Jack was not dead?
nyp.33433074878772	Was he now to make acquaint- 104 THE END OF HER HONEYMOON ance with the stranger who had yet in so curious and sinister a way become his familiar?
nyp.33433074878772	Were the police at last on the trail of the missing man?
nyp.33433074878772	What can I do for you? ” The simple little question brought back all Nancy's usual happy confidence.
nyp.33433074878772	What can he be doing? ” She put her hands together with a helpless, childish gesture of distress.
nyp.33433074878772	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433074878772	What did these people mean by treating her like this?
nyp.33433074878772	What do you think about them? ” Daisy began to look very troubled.
nyp.33433074878772	What does mademoiselle accuse us of P Does she think we made away with her friend?
nyp.33433074878772	What is it this unfortunate young lady, Mrs. Dampier, ought to do?
nyp.33433074878772	What is it you want to say to me?
nyp.33433074878772	What is wrong with her? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074878772	What just exactly did the lawyer mean by these solemnly delivered words?
nyp.33433074878772	What the devil did the man mean?
nyp.33433074878772	Whatever happens, kindness is never lost. ” “ Why, what d'you mean, father? ” she looked down at him troubled, rather disturbed by his words.
nyp.33433074878772	When he opens his eyes perhaps we'd better leave him with Nancy. ” Nancy?
nyp.33433074878772	Who in Paris could be writing to him — who, for the matter of that, knew where he was staying, apart from his own family and his London office?
nyp.33433074878772	Why did he stay away so long?
nyp.33433074878772	Will you please ask one of them to speak to me? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074878772	Would he have re- turned?
nyp.33433074878772	You ca n’t make up your mind — is not that so? ” The American Senator nodded, rather shame- facedly.
nyp.33433074878772	You know what women are? ” he shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433074878772	You see, our position with regard to the Poulains is a delicate one — ” “ Delicate? ” repeated Gerald quickly.
nyp.33433074878772	You would n’t like me to do anything I thought wrong, Gerald? ” “ No, ” he says moodily.
nyp.33433074878772	again; what wo n’t a pretty face do with a man?
nyp.33433074878772	husband? ” Gerald Burton looked straight before him as he said the words he felt ashamed of uttering.
nyp.33433074878772	were not all gentlemen like that?
nyp.33433074878772	“ An Englishman, ” said the janitor thoughtfully, “ or perchance an American?
nyp.33433074878772	“ And I presume that your son will find lots of work awaiting him on his return home?
nyp.33433074878772	“ And Madame Poulain?
nyp.33433074878772	“ And will you please ask your aunt to come here for a moment? ” “ Yuss, ” he said, in that queer hoarse voice, and shuffled downstairs again.
nyp.33433074878772	“ André?
nyp.33433074878772	“ But Mr. Burton?
nyp.33433074878772	“ But oh, Mr. Burton, where can Jack be?
nyp.33433074878772	“ But where is Mrs. Dampier now? ” asked Daisy eagerly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ But with what object could the Poulains tell such a stupid and cruel untruth, one, too, which is sure to be found out very soon?
nyp.33433074878772	“ But, Mr. Burton, had n't I better pay?
nyp.33433074878772	“ D'you really want to know what he said? ” She creeps a little nearer to him, she even takes his hand.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Did you go into his studio, Gerald? ”- “ Yes, I did.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Do we know the truth now?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Do you understand what she says? ” he asked slowly, impassively.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Gerald?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Have you found out anything? ” she asked at last in a low voice.
nyp.33433074878772	“ How do you mean, father? ” “ We have known these people a long while.
nyp.33433074878772	“ How much did she give you? ” she asked roughly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ I hope you are not really anx- ious about him? ” Madame Poulain stared at him fixedly, reproach- fully.
nyp.33433074878772	“ I mean the description you've just read out — that of the Englishman? ” “ Oh no, monsieur!
nyp.33433074878772	“ I sup- pose it is quite easy to leave by the way we came in — through the engine- room? ” “ One moment, monsieur, one moment!

nyp.33433074878772	“ I thought, Monsieur le Préfet, that I was to see Mr. Dampier's dossier? ” THE END OF HER HONEYMOON 145 “ Oh, to be sure — yes!
nyp.33433074878772	“ I wish to know, ” she said, “ whether my husband left any message for me? ” But the young man shook his head.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Is not this excellent? ” exclaimed Mère Bideau eagerly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Is what we are going to see very horrible? ” he whispered hurriedly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ It is Mrs. Dampier 22 “ Ah, yes — I understand — the three weeks ’ bride?
nyp.33433074878772	“ It is very ingenious, is it not?

nyp.33433074878772	“ Madame Pou- lain? ” and wondered whether her French would run to the words “ hot water”—yes, she thought it would.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Mademoiselle? ” How odd to hear herself so addressed!
nyp.33433074878772	“ May I ask if you know much of the habits and way of life of this vanished bridegroom? ” asked the Prefect thoughtfully.
nyp.33433074878772	“ May I have another lump of sugar, Miss Burton?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Monsieur and madame may like to visit the studio?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Nancy?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Nancy? ” he cries.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Nancy? ” he murmured thickly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Nancy? ” he says, trying to turn towards her.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Now is it likely that Madame Poulain would make such a suggestion if she were not telling the truth?
nyp.33433074878772	“ O death, where is thy sting?
nyp.33433074878772	“ One moment, Monsieur le Sénateur? ” he looked earnestly into the American's frank face.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Picot? ” he exclaimed, “ I still require that dossier!
nyp.33433074878772	“ Searched? ” shrieked Madame Poulain indig- nantly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Surely one of you will come with me?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Surely you see yourself, my boy, that if the man is dead, there's nothing more for you to do here, in Paris? ” “ Father, there's everything!
nyp.33433074878772	“ Tell me, Gerald?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Thank you for coming, Monsieur Gerald; but where is Monsieur le Sénateur? ” asked Madame Pou- lain feverishly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ There is something very wrong with Mrs. Dampier — can you hear me clearly? ” “ Yes, yes.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Tiens! ” he said, “ is n’t that strange?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Well, Mrs. Dampier, what is it that you would like to do now? ” “ I do n’t know what I ought to do, ” said Nancy helplessly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Well, father? ” the two fresh voices rang out, and the Senator smiled back well pleased.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Well, monsieur, if you really do not care to see our relics —? ” He opened the great door through which so few living men and women ever pass.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Well, wo n't he let you in? ” “ We shall have to get an order.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Well? ” he said questioningly.

nyp.33433074878772	“ What do you mean, Gerald?
nyp.33433074878772	“ What do you think, Monsieur Baroff? ” “ I do not think at all! ” he said pettishly.
nyp.33433074878772	“ What is it that you wish, dear heart? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878772	“ What is it, Mr. Burton? ” And then the Senator, motioning her to a chair, sat down too.
nyp.33433074878772	“ What is it? ” said Nancy again, trying to smile.
nyp.33433074878772	“ What is it? ” she cried apprehensively.
nyp.33433074878772	“ What's that? ” cried Nancy in a loud voice.
nyp.33433074878772	“ What's this? ” asked one of the men sharply.
nyp.33433074878772	“ When will this persecution come to an end?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Where was I?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Who is it?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Why should n’t we telephone to this Mr. Stephens? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878772	“ Why, Ger- ald, where does this lead?
nyp.33433074878772	“ Wo n't monsieur and madame stay and just see everything else there is to be seen? ” he asked eagerly.

nyp.33433074878772	“ You may rest assured that I will do everything that is in my power to find your friend. ” “ But the dossier? ” exclaimed Senator Burton.
nyp.33433074878772	“ You, monsieur, also have no doubt? ” “ None at all, ” said Gerald briefly.

mdp.39015063962412	But you have n't lied to me, have you, Lottie?
mdp.39015063962412	Could she tell us the time, perhaps? mdp.39015063962412 Death from strangulation, Doctor? ” he asked quietly.
mdp.39015063962412	Did he go upstairs again?
mdp.39015063962412	Did he wish to have the room look natural and in order? mdp.39015063962412 Did you get the crook's name, Young? ” Peter asked with becoming deference.
mdp.39015063962412	Did you go in a taxi? ”No.
mdp.39015063962412	Do you know who called him?
mdp.39015063962412	Do you really mean to suggest, Mr. Clancy, that I might be guilty of the murder- of my own father?
mdp.39015063962412	Do you see where that gets us, Doctor? mdp.39015063962412 Does that make sense?"
mdp.39015063962412	Five thousand dollars —"Hum- m- m. And the threat? ”Death. ” The word fell abruptly into a pool of silence.
mdp.39015063962412	Had n't we better get back to the house, Mr. Clancy? mdp.39015063962412 Had n't you better put the bracelets on him? ” sug- gested Peter.

mdp.39015063962412	How did her father stand on the question? ” Peter asked. mdp.39015063962412 How did they know it was murder? ” Peter asked sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	How should I know that?
mdp.39015063962412	How- how do you figure that? ” was all that the astounded man could manage to say. mdp.39015063962412 I say, Ogilvy,"he exclaimed,"did you see this little coat of arms thing on the flap? ”"I sure did, sir, but not at first."

mdp.39015063962412	In fact — what?
mdp.39015063962412	In what way do you mean, Clancy? ”Well, if the secret is an old one, would n't it naturally be an old acquaintance who would know it?".
mdp.39015063962412	In what way do you mean, Clancy? ”Well, if the secret is an old one, would n't it naturally be an old acquaintance who would know it?".
mdp.39015063962412	Is it anything important?
mdp.39015063962412	Is it possible you do n't believe in my powers of divination? ”. mdp.39015063962412 It does n't seem to, does it?
mdp.39015063962412	It's Miss Whittlesey then?
mdp.39015063962412	Just exactly what was it he told you? ” prompted Peter quietly. mdp.39015063962412 Last night?"

mdp.39015063962412	Should n't we A MAN'S ENEMIES 37 turn off pretty soon now? ” he asked. mdp.39015063962412 So what?"
mdp.39015063962412	Then who was it that slit the envelope containing the note? ” asked Peter. mdp.39015063962412 They?
mdp.39015063962412	Well, I suppose it might not be considered so, but if you do n't mind, Mr. Peter, should I have said whom?
mdp.39015063962412	Well? ” he asked. mdp.39015063962412 What ai n't a lethal weapon if you use it right?
mdp.39015063962412	What d'you think I was here for? mdp.39015063962412 What do you make of the knot, Doctor?"
mdp.39015063962412	What is it? ” said Peter, just above his breath. mdp.39015063962412 What time was that?"
mdp.39015063962412	What's the matter? ” Ogilvy asked anxiously. mdp.39015063962412 Where's Mr. Terrell, Samuel? ”"Gone to the station to meet Miss Judith.

mdp.39015063962412	You think his fingerprints may show up?
mdp.39015063962412	You took a note to the editor of this paper, Samuel, a couple of days ago?
mdp.39015063962412	You — I suppose you know the family and the house- hold well, Mr. Babcock? mdp.39015063962412 You've seen him?"

Then, since this extortion letter had the word'Personal typed in one corner, you would have taken it up to him unopened? mdp.39015063962412 ... What's in that direction, Ogilvy? ”. mdp.39015063962412 ... What's the matter? mdp.39015063962412 ... Who knows? ” The last being obviously a rhetorical question, Wig- gar, from long experience, remained quiet, waiting devel- opments. mdp.39015063962412 ...“ Such as? ” the secretary asked after a slight pause.
mdp.39015063962412	..."“ Who told you all that?"

mdp.39015063962412	A MAN'S ENEMIES 139 How d’you expect to earn your money if you do n't ask questions, and who's going to pay you?
mdp.39015063962412	A MAN'S ENEMIES 223 “ Am I speaking to Mr. Peter Clancy? ” A woman's voice unmistakably.
mdp.39015063962412	A breath of sweet country air or the pretty view?
mdp.39015063962412	A demand for money? ” “ That, ” Babcock admitted, “ and a threat."
mdp.39015063962412	A little dirt came up on the spade?"
mdp.39015063962412	A private detective that"“ Who hired him? ” The harsh mannish voice was in keeping with the hard flat lines of the woman's lean fig- ure.
mdp.39015063962412	Addressed, Mr. Babcock, to your business partner?
mdp.39015063962412	After all, ” memory failing, he added lamely in a lower tone,"can a guy go back empty handed?
mdp.39015063962412	An excuse, really. ”"For what?"
mdp.39015063962412	And I've never opened any of Mr. Whittlesey's private mail for him. ”"You're certain? ” Peter asked.
mdp.39015063962412	And Mr. Faulkner says,'Is it true?'
mdp.39015063962412	And Mr. Whittlesey says,'How should I know?
mdp.39015063962412	And after a second:"Could you tell, Doctor, about what time he took it?"
mdp.39015063962412	And at that time of night?"
mdp.39015063962412	And can, perhaps, tell me something about the servants? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	And had n't Mr. Clancy said she was pretty — and held her hand, too, when she was just ready to go off again in another fit of hysterics?
mdp.39015063962412	And how far's a guy expected to go with nothing but a hot dog under his belt?
mdp.39015063962412	And how it came to be so far under the bed?
mdp.39015063962412	And opened his mail?
mdp.39015063962412	And report it instantly to me?
mdp.39015063962412	And what but a pair of scissors, the natural tool of a woman, would have made that little jagged cut we found an inch above the print of the noose?
mdp.39015063962412	And what did I owe him?
mdp.39015063962412	And what do you know about that?"
mdp.39015063962412	And what kind of an alibi is that?
mdp.39015063962412	And what will Kerrigan say? ”"A- plenty, ” was the grim answer.
mdp.39015063962412	And what's the answer to that? ” “ There was n't anyone else,"Young agreed hesitantly.
mdp.39015063962412	And where were you hiding when Terrell phoned you this morning?
mdp.39015063962412	And where you went? ” Moore flushed darkly under the blue of his unshaven cheeks.

mdp.39015063962412	Any idea of where to look for another job? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Anyone who could testify that you got off there?"
mdp.39015063962412	Anyone? ” “ Terrell was there.
mdp.39015063962412	Anything im- portant?"
mdp.39015063962412	Anything to tell me?"
mdp.39015063962412	Anything wrong? ”"Pardon, sir.
mdp.39015063962412	Are you mad? ” Babcock started to his feet.
mdp.39015063962412	Are you sure?
mdp.39015063962412	Are you the one that's going to pay him?"
mdp.39015063962412	But Mr. Faulkner could n't have nothing to do —"“ What time was that? ” Peter broke in again.
mdp.39015063962412	But can you explain, Ogilvy, why the only others they can find belong positively to Faulkner Ter- rell? ” “ You mean on the envelope?".
mdp.39015063962412	But can you explain, Ogilvy, why the only others they can find belong positively to Faulkner Ter- rell? ” “ You mean on the envelope?".
mdp.39015063962412	But how about the housemaid? ” “ That girl?
mdp.39015063962412	But how about the housemaid? ” “ That girl?
mdp.39015063962412	But how much do we really know of what goes A MAN'S ENEMIES 29 on around us?
mdp.39015063962412	But how was I to guess? ” Peter laid his hand comfortingly on Babcock's arm.
mdp.39015063962412	But if this is a case of black- mail- extortion or what have you- aren't the regular police capable of handling it?
mdp.39015063962412	But then — what?
mdp.39015063962412	But what can the police do in such a case?
mdp.39015063962412	But what does a dame know?
mdp.39015063962412	But what was the object?
mdp.39015063962412	But what?
mdp.39015063962412	But who of us is — at a pinch?
mdp.39015063962412	But why, ” he muttered half aloud,"why should it have been that far under the bed? ” 76 A MAN'S ENEMIES on the quiet pleasant interloper.
mdp.39015063962412	But you suspected- something queer — was going on when he phoned?"
mdp.39015063962412	Ca n't you see that? ” “ But Whittlesey, himself, handed the note over to Mr. Babcock to read, ” insisted Young.
mdp.39015063962412	Ca n't you see that?"
mdp.39015063962412	Ca n't you understand?
mdp.39015063962412	Can he prove it?

mdp.39015063962412	Can you imagine that? ” “ I had seen no reason, Mr. Clancy, to reverse my early estimate. ” Miss Hannah spoke up promptly without pre- amble.
mdp.39015063962412	Can you remember exactly what it said? ” Kerrigan sat forward in his chair.
mdp.39015063962412	Clancy? ” he asked eagerly.
mdp.39015063962412	Clancy?"

mdp.39015063962412	Did you find out? ”"I did n't just get the rights of it, ” Everett dropped his voice, “ but it's something about a threatening letter.
mdp.39015063962412	Did you get that this morning already?"
mdp.39015063962412	Did you get that?"
mdp.39015063962412	Did you happen to tell your friend Babcock what time I'd call? ” “ Yes, ” Kerrigan answered brazenly.
mdp.39015063962412	Did you make out the crest?
mdp.39015063962412	Did you notice this? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Did you say'we,'young man? ” Miss Amanda cut in sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	Did you see anyone except Samuel?
mdp.39015063962412	Do n't you know where she is? ”"No.
mdp.39015063962412	Do n't you under- stand even yet? ” “ Know what?"
mdp.39015063962412	Do n't you under- stand even yet? ” “ Know what?"
mdp.39015063962412	Do you know anything about flowers? ” The man's dark eyes lighted up suddenly.
mdp.39015063962412	Do you know yet when it will be? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063962412	Do you know? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Do you mind if we go upstairs?
mdp.39015063962412	Do you mind? ” She shook her head and Peter went on quickly: A MAN'S ENEMIES 217 “ Why — why, yes!
mdp.39015063962412	Do you play? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Do you recall ever talking about it to anyone, Samuel? ” “ Certainly not, sir. ” “ Or you, Lottie?"
mdp.39015063962412	Do you recall ever talking about it to anyone, Samuel? ” “ Certainly not, sir. ” “ Or you, Lottie?"
mdp.39015063962412	Do you remember?"
mdp.39015063962412	Do you see?
mdp.39015063962412	Do you want me to phone for the ambulance?"
mdp.39015063962412	Do you wonder I despised him?"
mdp.39015063962412	Does he often go to bed as early as that?"
mdp.39015063962412	Downstairs?
mdp.39015063962412	D’you know where I might have a chance? ” “ Can you drive a car?"
mdp.39015063962412	D’you know where I might have a chance? ” “ Can you drive a car?"
mdp.39015063962412	Eh, what? ”"Quite so, sir.
mdp.39015063962412	Even supposing we could dig up someone at the station in Jamaica who would remember seeing Miss Judith there at that time, what about Terrell?
mdp.39015063962412	For who but Peter would have asked those searching ques- tions about the hangman's knot and the tiny wound?
mdp.39015063962412	Get there as quick as you can. ” “ One what? ” ventured Ogilvy with hardly restrained impatience.
mdp.39015063962412	Gosh, do n't they put'em up in nifty cases? ”"Keep your hands off, Vance, for heaven's sake,"ad- monished the trooper.
mdp.39015063962412	Had he touched anything on the bed- head table?
mdp.39015063962412	Had her part in the tragedy been no more culpable than that of the silly little man- crazy housemaid?
mdp.39015063962412	Has anything happened here? ” 214 A MAN'S ENEMIES"That man Young wanted to question me, but he was n't very insistent.
mdp.39015063962412	Have n't I laid the pipe well enough — as far as it goes?
mdp.39015063962412	Have n't you anything to say?
mdp.39015063962412	Have you any idea? ” urged Saunders, as Peter paused.
mdp.39015063962412	Have you any more details? ” “ Only very few.
mdp.39015063962412	Have you come far?"
mdp.39015063962412	Have you had time to study that carefully?
mdp.39015063962412	Have you, by any chance, found a hat without an owner? ” The voice on the wire was hardly more than a whisper.
mdp.39015063962412	He called me up on the phone"“ At your office?"
mdp.39015063962412	He said good night and went right to his room. ” “ At nine o'clock?
mdp.39015063962412	He saw her in the Pennsylvania Station- and Samuel, the butler, as well. ”"Is that so?
mdp.39015063962412	He was completely at the mercy of —"“ Who, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962412	He went in that direction... but where?
mdp.39015063962412	He's gone to the sta- tion to meet Miss Judith. ”"You let him go?"
mdp.39015063962412	Hear?
mdp.39015063962412	How about finding that second- story crook Rafferty's prints on the balcony railing upstairs?
mdp.39015063962412	How about this coat of arms?
mdp.39015063962412	How can it be important? ” He looked up sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	How can we tell anything about it, really?
mdp.39015063962412	How could I?
mdp.39015063962412	How did you register?"
mdp.39015063962412	How'd those bad boys get you down?
mdp.39015063962412	I ca n't remember. ”"Had he ever been here before? ” Peter fixed her with a searching glance.
mdp.39015063962412	I can de- pend on you to make it your business to know when- or if — the dragnet they've put out for Rafferty catches anything?
mdp.39015063962412	I got logic, see?
mdp.39015063962412	I mean would n't it have been better for their alibi if he'd slipped quietly away — and the nurse, at least, remained with the party?
mdp.39015063962412	I put the money and some papers I'd brought out for him in the safe. ” “ Did you lock the safe? ” Peter asked abruptly.
mdp.39015063962412	I say, Lottie. ” “ What is it, Mr. Kilroy? ” She paused with the sliding door already partially closed.
mdp.39015063962412	I still have hopes — What is it, Wiggar? ” The valet had appeared so silently that Ogilvy started.
mdp.39015063962412	I'll take myself off at once — if you have no further sugges- tions to make? ” He looked from one to the other.
mdp.39015063962412	III “ Your bath is ready, sir. ” “ Wha — u — r? ” said Peter Clancy, stifling a compre- hensive yawn.
mdp.39015063962412	If the envelope showed nothing but typing, could n't he be ex- cused for thinking it an ad or something?"
mdp.39015063962412	If they had n't gone off together, would even you have thought of searching out her com- panion?"
mdp.39015063962412	If those lips, hid- A MAN'S ENEMIES 73 den behind the tightly tied handkerchief, could only speak, what strange disclosure would they make?
mdp.39015063962412	In the kitchen. ”"But why?
mdp.39015063962412	In the village perhaps?
mdp.39015063962412	Interpreting a quick gesture of the red- headed detec- tive, Ogilvy put in:"Better get photographs first, had n't we, Mr. Young? ” “ Well, yes.
mdp.39015063962412	Is she is she dead? ” Peter shook his head and answered softly:"No.
mdp.39015063962412	Is she with Terrell now? ” Peter asked sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	Is that a thought- or is it?
mdp.39015063962412	Is that correct? ” She nodded without speaking.
mdp.39015063962412	Is that it, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962412	It just looked like an ordinary case of putting on the screws, and with the money there in hand... What's that?
mdp.39015063962412	It was Rafferty?
mdp.39015063962412	It was only a little after midnight. ” “ You went to a hotel from there?"
mdp.39015063962412	It was the opening night. ”"Has she been told yet of her father's death, do you know?"
mdp.39015063962412	It's him we're calling on? ” “ You always try to spoil my stories by telling the end, ” grumbled O'Malley.
mdp.39015063962412	It's out of the question. ”"Says who?"
mdp.39015063962412	Joe Babcock?
mdp.39015063962412	Just the way he always does. ”"Did you wait there until he finished his supper? ” “ No, sir.
mdp.39015063962412	Kerrigan had no reason to think, really, that it would be — What time is it, Wiggar?
mdp.39015063962412	Kilroy?"
mdp.39015063962412	Know what I mean? ” “ Well, ” said O'Malley,"as I see it, neither the doctor nor the nurse has an alibi that's worth a tinker's damn."
mdp.39015063962412	Lieutenant Ogilvy here? ” Peter hastily inter- rupted the reporter's efforts at cajolery.
mdp.39015063962412	Local talent, but she's well trained and I never heard any complaints of her. ” “ And that's the lot?"
mdp.39015063962412	Looks pretty bad, does n't it? ” His words were light enough but his voice was low and serious.
mdp.39015063962412	May I ask why? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	May I come in? ” The three occupants of the room were standing beside a flat- topped desk on which lay an open newspaper.
mdp.39015063962412	May we come in?"
mdp.39015063962412	Mollie's name would catch his eye as quickly as his own, and he'd under- stand the rest. ” “ You'll call Mollie?
mdp.39015063962412	Mr. Nolan Whittlesey's sister?
mdp.39015063962412	My of- fice on the wire?
mdp.39015063962412	Neither was I here neither — so did I do it?
mdp.39015063962412	No doubt you noticed that the ad- dress and the word'Personal'on the envelope were writ- ten by different machines. ” “ What? ” cried Young.
mdp.39015063962412	Not loud, you know, but kinda in his throat like. ”"Did he say anything? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Not yet. ” “ How was she hurt? ” Her voice was scarcely audible.
mdp.39015063962412	Now what about the cook?"
mdp.39015063962412	Now where the devil is that? ” Wong Fu replied with a clipt bark and snuggled closer into Top Hat Rafferty's protecting arms.
mdp.39015063962412	Now, Miss Judith, what about it? ” She seemed to have caught her courage in both hands.
mdp.39015063962412	OK. You're at the switchboard?
mdp.39015063962412	Of that I'm certain. ” “ Ah, a daughter? ” Peter put in on a note of interro- gation.
mdp.39015063962412	Ogilvy, coming along from the hall, was in time to hear Peter say:"Do n't you know, Young?
mdp.39015063962412	Oh, how can they have a stupid person like that in authority — even in the country?
mdp.39015063962412	One in Garden City. ” “ Anybody recognize you? ” Ogilvy spoke for the first time.
mdp.39015063962412	Or did he usually tear it open? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Or did you?
mdp.39015063962412	Or shall we?"
mdp.39015063962412	Or someone who had nerve enough to pry — well? ” He broke off sharply, glancing from one to the other.
mdp.39015063962412	Or was it all arranged before- hand?
mdp.39015063962412	Or was she steeped in the plot up to the hilt?
mdp.39015063962412	Or who?
mdp.39015063962412	Or — or did you?
mdp.39015063962412	Or — perhaps had sold it — and re- pented?
mdp.39015063962412	Out on the road again? ” Rafferty explained rather breathlessly.
mdp.39015063962412	Peter said: “ And who else did you see?
mdp.39015063962412	Peter?"
mdp.39015063962412	Police news. ”"Oh? ” said Peter, sitting up suddenly.
mdp.39015063962412	Question servants?
mdp.39015063962412	Ready?"
mdp.39015063962412	Right there where you're standing?"
mdp.39015063962412	Robbery?
mdp.39015063962412	See there?
mdp.39015063962412	See this little yellow tag pasted in the corner?
mdp.39015063962412	See what I mean, Sweetheart? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	See where the ivy's ripped off just below... and the thick branches?
mdp.39015063962412	See?
mdp.39015063962412	See?
mdp.39015063962412	See?
mdp.39015063962412	See?
mdp.39015063962412	See?
mdp.39015063962412	Seriously, does it seem as simple as all that? ” 210 A MAN ’S ENEMIES “ I'm not saying.
mdp.39015063962412	Shall I go on? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Shall we come a little further from the door?
mdp.39015063962412	She has plenty of money, so why should she turn handsprings about it?"
mdp.39015063962412	She showed me my own picture, fair and plain, and man to man she says, “ Was you there night before last, Thomas?'
mdp.39015063962412	So fierce was the impact of the question that Young could only gasp: “ Why? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	So may I invite you to sit in on our- er- conference, and give us the benefit of your advice?"
mdp.39015063962412	So tell me, where are you going?
mdp.39015063962412	So what?
mdp.39015063962412	Tell me, ” he bent to search her white face,"did you see your own brother — when he was lying strangled there on the bed?
mdp.39015063962412	Terrell has n't told the police about your marriage?
mdp.39015063962412	That he paid you with a hundred dollar bill? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	That was characteristic, was it not?
mdp.39015063962412	That's right, is n't it, Mrs. Brown?
mdp.39015063962412	That's so, Doctor, is n't it?
mdp.39015063962412	That's the nearest way to the garden. ” “ You know the layout of this place already? ” Peter kept pace with the trooper's rapid strides.
mdp.39015063962412	The New York A MAN'S ENEMIES 177 paper had just been brought into the servants'hall when"“ Oh? ” cried Peter.
mdp.39015063962412	The nurse, perhaps? ” “ Oh.
mdp.39015063962412	Then he showed me the note. ”"He showed it to you?
mdp.39015063962412	Then she waits a minute and she says,'Did you kill old Nolan Whittlesey?'
mdp.39015063962412	Then the secretary called out, “ Who's there? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	There actually was someone in Whittlesey's dressing room at the time Rafferty was there?
mdp.39015063962412	There was to me and I read it just saide ered?"
mdp.39015063962412	There's one on the desk — in the library — at Graytowers. ”"Is there? ” Ogilvy shifted uncomfortably in his chair.
mdp.39015063962412	They have recently sent out an announcement, and Mr. Nolan Whittlesey of Gray- towers is on their mailing list. ” “ So what?"
mdp.39015063962412	They think now she may live to make a confession — which would be rather a pity, in a way, do n't you think? ” The butler looked a little blank.
mdp.39015063962412	They'll all swing into line when the time comes, wo n't they? ” “ A most efficient service,"said Peter thoughtfully.
mdp.39015063962412	Thought I'd like to go out?
mdp.39015063962412	Understand?
mdp.39015063962412	Upset or worried? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Was n't he, Miss Delancey? ” Peter put in quietly.
mdp.39015063962412	Well, ca n't you do something?
mdp.39015063962412	Well, just what was in the letter, may I ask?
mdp.39015063962412	Well, then — I asked you before — why, in heaven's name, did he take something to make him sleep?
mdp.39015063962412	Well, why would n't he be?
mdp.39015063962412	What about the robbery?"
mdp.39015063962412	What about this?
mdp.39015063962412	What are you doing? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	What d'you say, Ogilvy? ”"I'm with you, Clancy, ” cried the trooper eagerly.
mdp.39015063962412	What did he tell you, Miss Judith? ”"I told her the truth. ” Terrell's young voice vibrated with an emotion he could scarcely control.
mdp.39015063962412	What do we see?
mdp.39015063962412	What do you know about maybe Rafferty was n't 155 156 A MAN'S ENEMIES alone in this here murder?
mdp.39015063962412	What do you know of what's gone on here?
mdp.39015063962412	What do you make of it, Clancy? ”"Nothing — yet, ” said Peter.
mdp.39015063962412	What do you say?".
mdp.39015063962412	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063962412	What does anyone know outside this cursed house?
mdp.39015063962412	What does it stand for? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	What else?
mdp.39015063962412	What excuse can you give?
mdp.39015063962412	What have you got to say to that? ” “ You mean what have I to say about the extortion note? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015063962412	What have you got to say to that? ” “ You mean what have I to say about the extortion note? ” said Peter.
mdp.39015063962412	What have you up your sleeve? ”"A very unfortunate ability to add two and two,"Peter returned somberly.
mdp.39015063962412	What is it, man?
mdp.39015063962412	What is it?"
mdp.39015063962412	What object could he possibly have? ” Judith spoke with a gesture of repudiation.
mdp.39015063962412	What of it?
mdp.39015063962412	What right has he to lock- to put Faulkner-Faulkner — in jail? ”"He's doing it regular enough, Clancy,"said the trooper in an unhappy undertone.
mdp.39015063962412	What secret unfold?
mdp.39015063962412	What the devil?
mdp.39015063962412	What time is it anyway?"
mdp.39015063962412	What time was it when you left again? ” 150 A MAN'S ENEMIES The young man hesitated slightly.
mdp.39015063962412	What was she suffering — what anguish of fear — of hope scarcely less agonizing if deferred?
mdp.39015063962412	What would you say, Terrell?"
mdp.39015063962412	What'd I tell you? ” She glanced snap- pily across her shoulder.
mdp.39015063962412	What's all that noise? ” “ Ca n't imagine! ” Peter leaped and flung open the door.
mdp.39015063962412	What's happened, Wiggar? ” “ Maybe you could get the right of it first hand, sir.
mdp.39015063962412	What's it all about, Everett?
mdp.39015063962412	What's that you say, Ogilvy?
mdp.39015063962412	What's the odds?
mdp.39015063962412	What's the trouble, Wiggar?
mdp.39015063962412	What's your hurry?
mdp.39015063962412	What?
mdp.39015063962412	What? ” Peter shook his head uncomfortably.
mdp.39015063962412	What? ”"Your tie, sir.
mdp.39015063962412	What?"
mdp.39015063962412	When, how — and by whom — was the villainous note- taken to your father's room? ” Wiggar finished laying out his master's things.
mdp.39015063962412	Where is it? ” “ Over there on the desk, sir. ” Peter's voice sounded merely helpful.
mdp.39015063962412	Where were you, Terrell- and you, Miss Judith — at ten o'clock last night?"
mdp.39015063962412	Where's the list? ”"I turned it over to the police, naturally.
mdp.39015063962412	Whittlesey?"
mdp.39015063962412	Who could have taken it away?
mdp.39015063962412	Who had the opportunity?
mdp.39015063962412	Who knows where he may be A MAN'S ENEMIES 57 now?
mdp.39015063962412	Whom have I the pleasure of address- ing? ”"You would n't know.
mdp.39015063962412	Why did n't you?
mdp.39015063962412	Why do n't you see him, Jake?
mdp.39015063962412	Why do you question it, Miss Delancey? ” “ Because it was not locked when I came on duty this morning, ” the nurse replied emphatically.
mdp.39015063962412	Why had the man been so ready to produce the money required- and, in spite of all, been so foully murdered?
mdp.39015063962412	Why need it be Terrell?
mdp.39015063962412	Why should Judith consider him or his wishes?
mdp.39015063962412	Why should it?
mdp.39015063962412	Why should you be? ” the elderly lady retorted shortly.
mdp.39015063962412	Why the victim's pistol was not fired?
mdp.39015063962412	Why trouble A MAN'S ENEMIES 103 to do that — and handicap a getaway so unnecessarily?
mdp.39015063962412	Why —"“ Us? ” Peter cut in quickly.
mdp.39015063962412	Why, Clancy, she's nothing but a pretty little fool. ” “ But sleeps in the house? ” Peter insisted.

mdp.39015063962412	Why?"
mdp.39015063962412	Why?"
mdp.39015063962412	Will he be ready? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Will you come?"
mdp.39015063962412	Will you trust me? ”"Oh, sure, ” Rafferty cried fervently.
mdp.39015063962412	Will you wait a bit, Pete? ” “ If Mr. Babcock does n't object. ” “ Why, no.
mdp.39015063962412	With eleven or twelve hours'start what chance is there of trailing him now? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Would he make Terrell an accomplice?
mdp.39015063962412	Would n't a hairpin leave a rather rough edge? ”"I do n't know.
mdp.39015063962412	Would n't he have wanted to keep wide awake, with all his wits about him?"
mdp.39015063962412	Would you care to go there at once? ” He ad- dressed a spot half way between the two visitors.
mdp.39015063962412	Would you like me to?"
mdp.39015063962412	Would you mind answering a very few questions? ” Some woman reporter after a story, Peter naturally concluded.
mdp.39015063962412	Would you think that a good idea, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	Would you wish to take it here, sir? »"No.
mdp.39015063962412	You actually saw it?
mdp.39015063962412	You agree, Jake? ”"Never saw one like it, ” Kerrigan answered promptly.
mdp.39015063962412	You could n't hardly clean up real good without seeing it, could you, Mr. Kilroy? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	You did?
mdp.39015063962412	You do, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” said Peter soberly.
mdp.39015063962412	You felt you had to break it to Babcock?
mdp.39015063962412	You got that, O'Malley?
mdp.39015063962412	You have n't noticed anything queer — perhaps among the servants? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	You know about the safe in Mr. Whittlesey's bedroom, Lottie? ” She started as he turned again abruptly toward her.
mdp.39015063962412	You know that, do n't you?
mdp.39015063962412	You missed it not being here, Young. ” “ What? ” The round face was thrust out eagerly.
mdp.39015063962412	You recog- nize him??'
mdp.39015063962412	You recog- nize him??'
mdp.39015063962412	You remember that, Amanda?"
mdp.39015063962412	You remember when we were out on the North Shore last, Wiggar?"
mdp.39015063962412	You saw A MAN'S ENEMIES 133 him again after that, did n't you? ”"Sure.
mdp.39015063962412	You stand there like ” “ What's it all about, Ogilvy?"
mdp.39015063962412	You thought someone ran off in that direction? ” Young hesitated and stopped to listen.
mdp.39015063962412	You understand what to do? ” “ Oh, quite.
mdp.39015063962412	You understand?".
mdp.39015063962412	You visited out there?
mdp.39015063962412	You want to get down? ” Stooping he put her on the ground.
mdp.39015063962412	You wrote Mr. Whittlesey's letters?
mdp.39015063962412	You'll also find a typewriter there, over in the corner, behind the screen. ” “ Yeah? ” The broad mouth fell open.
mdp.39015063962412	You'll go yourself?
mdp.39015063962412	You'll save time if you sneak up by a back way. ”"Did n't I say he was a prince, Ogilvy?"
mdp.39015063962412	You're sure he has n't?
mdp.39015063962412	You're sure you'd remember?"
mdp.39015063962412	You've already got the serial numbers of the currency from Ogilvy?
mdp.39015063962412	You, yourself would have taken it up?"

mdp.39015063962412	“ A thing like that happen in the house and you did n't discuss it? ” 130 A MAN'S ENEMIES manding a view through the aperture in the paneled wall.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Add to it that apparently he tried to make a getaway just now — with your connivance — and you see what we're up against. ”"We?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Ai n't that sweet?
mdp.39015063962412	“ And how long did you wait for Mr. Terrell? ” Judith Whittlesey's face went suddenly whiter.
mdp.39015063962412	“ And how long would the effect last?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ And if I do? ” he countered.
mdp.39015063962412	“ And me listening to you for a minute! ” exclaimed 264 A MAN'S ENEMIES that? ” “ The nurse,"Peter replied curtly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ And to what do I owe the honor?
mdp.39015063962412	“ And what will they do to Faulkner in the meantime?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ And what's biting him?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Any other relatives?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Any sort of signature? ” Peter's tone chimed with the solemnity of the other's utterance.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Anything more?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Are you talking from a place where you ca n't be over- heard? ” Peter's brows went up still higher.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Ask yourselves, ” he repeated, “ why the nurse should have been given five thousand dollars for her part in the crime?
mdp.39015063962412	“ But how about you, O’Mal- ley?
mdp.39015063962412	“ But shucks,"he said to himself impatiently, “ what's the use of waiting?
mdp.39015063962412	“ But we left early. ” “ How early?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ But what good is it?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ By George, could it possibly be- What's the name of this swank concern? ” “ Johnson, Johnson and Johnson, ” Wiggar replied promptly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Ca n't you change the bill for Mrs. Brown, Pete?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Ca n't you see yet, ” Peter asked sternly, “ who is at the bottom of all these several crimes? ” XXVI “ SAMUEL! ” “ What?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Ca n't you see yet, ” Peter asked sternly, “ who is at the bottom of all these several crimes? ” XXVI “ SAMUEL! ” “ What?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Could n't you get in touch through his girl?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Crooked like that? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Did n't you, Miss Hannah? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Did they let you have it, Lieutenant? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Do you know the back stairs? ” he asked hurriedly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Do you mean to include yourself? ”"I do if Mrs. Terrell will allow me to carry on- on my own terms, ” said Peter slowly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Do you realize you did n't tell me a thing over the wire?
mdp.39015063962412	“ For me? ” Peter questioned, leaning over the balus- trade.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Gave it to you with his own hand? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You went to his room?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Gave it to you with his own hand? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You went to his room?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Gentlemen?
mdp.39015063962412	“ He always opened his mail himself? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ How about the others? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ How could you? ” he agreed hastily.
mdp.39015063962412	“ How did he seem then, Lottie?
mdp.39015063962412	“ I suppose there's no objection to our moving the body now, Doctor Saunders? ” he asked in a perfunctory tone.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Is that what you make the run- ning time, Wiggar? ” “ An hour and nine minutes from the New York end of the Fifty- ninth Street bridge, sir.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Is there any doubt about it?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Know anything, Pete? ”"Humph.
mdp.39015063962412	“ May I ask a ques- tion?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ May I see that? ” he asked in a quiet tone of authority.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Might I ask you a question? ”"Not here.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Mind if I get a closer look? ” “ Help yourself. ” Dr. Saunders moved aside and watched the metropolitan detective as he bent to his task.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Must be a tall man, would n't you think?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ No, sir. ” “ What?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ No?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ O'Malley reporting so soon? ” Peter asked himself aloud as he nodded farewell to the trooper and went hastily into the house.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Oh, Wong, where have you been?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Oh?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Only just, ‘ Put it down there,'and'What's this?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Otherwise ”"I merely wished to know, sir,"Wiggar spoke with imperturbable dignity,"if — if we know anyone at Grass Lane Farm? ” “ Not yet.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Ought to show handling to the queen's taste. ” “ What's it say?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Out? ” asked Peter sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Rafferty asked you quite a lot of questions, did n't he, Lottie?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Say, what is this anyway?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Says who?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ So what about it, Clancy? ” he demanded truculently.
mdp.39015063962412	“ So what?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Suggest anything to you, Pete? ” Kerrigan looked up at the serious face of his friend.
mdp.39015063962412	“ That word down in the corner- does n't it look to you as if it was written on a fresher, blacker ribbon than the address?
mdp.39015063962412	“ That you, Mr. Wiggar?
mdp.39015063962412	“ That's the money you spoke of that ought to have been in the safe? ” Peter nodded absently.
mdp.39015063962412	“ The Graylock Gazette? ” Peter asked swiftly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ The gentleman we took last night to the Boots and Saddles Club —"“ Babcock?
mdp.39015063962412	“ The housemaid was just clearing it away and tidying up the room when I came. ” “ What time was that?
mdp.39015063962412	“ The threatening letter? ” Kerrigan asked with obvious patience.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Then who is there that might conceivably have per- formed this small office for him?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Then you had someone with you?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Then you know they identified Terrell's? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Then you think we may dis- count any words they might have had recently? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Then, ” said Peter keenly, “ why did n't you take the numbers of the bills?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Then- has it occurred to you that perhaps the first part may be?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Think I do n't know nothing?
mdp.39015063962412	“ This is entirely false? ” he asked in a voice so full of reserved authority that she answered almost instinctively: “ Yes.
mdp.39015063962412	“ To the Bay Tree, Mr. Peter? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Want to see it now, sir?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was he accustomed to using a penknife?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was he in bed then?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was it known outside?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was it you that hired him, Joseph?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was n't that Terrell's car?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was the key in the lock? ” Peter cut in.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Was what? ” “ Marked'Personal.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Well, I will say you got it soft, being your own boss. ” He stepped a little nearer and asked in an undertone:"Anything new turned up? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Well, how about it, Mr. Babcock?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Well, well, who is he? ” Kerrigan inquired testily.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What about Mr. Terrell?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What about gardening?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What are you getting at? ” asked Terrell hoarsely.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What are you talking about, Doctor?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What are you waiting for? ” His expression was that of a man who had come out of a deep trance.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What could it?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What do they want, Amy? ” he asked sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What do you want to know, Ben?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What does it matter where he was at ten o'clock last night?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What does that mean, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What have you dug out of this extortion note so far, Ogilvy?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What is it? ” Peter barked.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What is it? ” he called impatiently.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What is there about the man? ” She looked up at A MAN'S ENEMIES 229 Peter with a liquid twinkle in her still lovely eyes.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What of it?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What the devil? ” cried Young.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What time was that? ”"He always had supper, not dinner at night,"Samuel murmured as if it were a grievance.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What was she in such a rush about? ” he asked of Miss Delancey who had advanced a few steps along the front hall.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What was the amount er — suggested?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What you doing out here all alone by yourself?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What — how would you account for that, Clancy?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What'd I tell you, Clancy? ” he murmured.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What's all this about an envelope?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What's he doing here?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What's it doing here? ” asked Peter tensely.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What's that for, Clancy? ” he asked.
mdp.39015063962412	“ What's that?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What's the big idea?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ What, Wig- gar?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What?
mdp.39015063962412	“ What? ” Peter exclaimed sharply.
mdp.39015063962412	“ When did Terrell hear about it? ” “ I do n't know.
mdp.39015063962412	“ When was this, Lottie? ” Peter was careful not to show a disturbing eagerness.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Where are they?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Where are you?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Where did you find her?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Where is she? ” whispered Peter, catching his arm.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Where shall I meet you? ”"Stop at Kerrigan's office.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Who gave you that note to take to the editor of the local paper? ” “ Mr.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Who is it? ” The voice was cultivated but thickened by dissipation.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Whom?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ Why did Mr. Whittlesey do it?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Why did n't they shut me up, too?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Why — why do n't you believe it? ” He sounded excited, almost breathless.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Will you be good enough, Samuel, to see that my chauffeur is ad- mitted?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Will you let me take a look, Clancy?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Will you take it here, sir? ” he added, indicating with a suave gesture the booth under the landing.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Wo n't you come in Miss — ah- Miss Whittlesey, is n't it?
mdp.39015063962412	“ Would you mind telling me how? ” The younger man stooped to tighten his shoe lace.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Yes, and when I went up to speak to him later he had his door locked. ” “ He did? ” said Babcock in a startled voice.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Yes? ” said Peter softly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Yes?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ You dared spy?
mdp.39015063962412	“ You did n't happen to mention the five thousand dol- lars to him? ” Peter sat up alertly.
mdp.39015063962412	“ You did n't know, Mr. Peter, that they both jumped into Mr. Terrell's car that was standing near the garage and drove off?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ You did n't let Samuel in? ”"No.
mdp.39015063962412	“ You did n't see anyone you knew in Jamaica?
mdp.39015063962412	“ You did n't think it wise to trust Terrell with so much cash?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ You do n't mean to say- Where's Ogilvy?
mdp.39015063962412	“ You do now, though? ”.
mdp.39015063962412	“ You have n't seen the Graytowers gardener around, have you, Wiggar? ” The question was almost automatic.
mdp.39015063962412	“ You mean”—she said slowly—“that you found traces? ” Again the doctor nodded with somber meaning.
mdp.39015063962412	“ You recognized his voice?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ You saw where he did'light on his feet, of course. ”"I — What d'you mean, Clancy? ” “ Careful!
mdp.39015063962412	“ You think of everything, do n't you?
mdp.39015063962412	“ You think the demand for money could n't be based on an occurrence in Whittlesey's immediate past?"
mdp.39015063962412	“ You would perhaps like a newspaper on which to spread the contents?
mdp.39015063962412	“ You'll perform an autopsy? ”"If circumstances seem to warrant it, no doubt Justice Thompson will so order.
mdp.39015063962412	“ You're driving out I suppose? ” A MAN ’S ENEMIES 23 “ Yes.
mdp.39015063962412	“ Yours?
mdp.39015063962412	“'Sudden Death,'huh?
mdp.39015063942679	'Batch it'? mdp.39015063942679 A court order?"
mdp.39015063942679	A revolver?
mdp.39015063942679	A scream?
mdp.39015063942679	A what?
mdp.39015063942679	Aileen, how old are you?
mdp.39015063942679	Aileen? mdp.39015063942679 An ass, eh?"
mdp.39015063942679	And a shot?
mdp.39015063942679	And are you an American citizen?
mdp.39015063942679	And are you, by any chance, a Christian?
mdp.39015063942679	And he did not leave the Brownrigg house until he drove away with Saranoff and Hartley?
mdp.39015063942679	And now, Miss Gilmore,said Kent,"do you feel able to tell me what aroused you last night?"
mdp.39015063942679	And now, Mr. Hartley, will you assure Miss Sara- noff that you told us she changed from the front seat of the car to the rear?
mdp.39015063942679	And now,he said briskly,"what's on your mind?"
mdp.39015063942679	And of course, you did n't suspect that any one at the Brownrigg party was a potential murderer?
mdp.39015063942679	And since then you have, perhaps, borne your reputation with the motion- picture public in mind?
mdp.39015063942679	And that's how he came by the cut on his nose and the bruise on his forehead?
mdp.39015063942679	And the burial?
mdp.39015063942679	And then, Mrs. Barnett, did you see him take a flask and his revolver from his pockets and leave them in the top drawer of his desk?
mdp.39015063942679	And thought fast, too?
mdp.39015063942679	And what is Miss Gilmore's name doing on the envelope? mdp.39015063942679 And when they come home at a very late hour?"
mdp.39015063942679	And while you stood there, with the pistol in your hand, you heard Tony drive in again?
mdp.39015063942679	And you regret it now?
mdp.39015063942679	Any connection between Ling and the window cleaner?
mdp.39015063942679	Any monogram, Sergeant?
mdp.39015063942679	Anything wrong with your hearing, Holkar? mdp.39015063942679 Are n't I rather nice to look at, Tony?
mdp.39015063942679	Are n't they gorgeous? mdp.39015063942679 Are n't you at all curious to know where we found these letters?"
mdp.39015063942679	Are n't you going to shake hands, Gerald?
mdp.39015063942679	Are they worse?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you a reporter?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you certain it was her voice?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you holding something back?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you in the habit of taking such liberties with a friend's papers?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you proud of it?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you sure of that?
mdp.39015063942679	Arthur Raneleigh?
mdp.39015063942679	Asked me to meet you? mdp.39015063942679 At the time?"
mdp.39015063942679	At what hour did he return?
mdp.39015063942679	Before he was shot?
mdp.39015063942679	Believe? mdp.39015063942679 Black ran him to earth?"
mdp.39015063942679	But do n't they know who killed Tony?
mdp.39015063942679	But how can you leave before Tony's estate is settled?
mdp.39015063942679	But how, in the name of destiny, do you account for it?
mdp.39015063942679	But not, so to speak, your job?
mdp.39015063942679	But what the devil does it mean?
mdp.39015063942679	But what's up?
mdp.39015063942679	But where are we going?
mdp.39015063942679	But who are you, Gerald, old dear,she drawled,"to say when I've had enough?"
mdp.39015063942679	But why did she disappear? mdp.39015063942679 But why,"asked the Coroner,"did you first tell the investigator from the District Attorney's office that Miss Saranoff was in the front seat?"
mdp.39015063942679	But why,he pursued,"did you not admit to Mr. Kent that you saw the revolver?"
mdp.39015063942679	But you finally fell asleep?
mdp.39015063942679	But your alibi is all right, is n't it?
mdp.39015063942679	Ca n't stand the gaff, eh? mdp.39015063942679 Can you give me an idea of how much was left in the flask when you put it down?"
mdp.39015063942679	Can you see any reason why I should n't?
mdp.39015063942679	Can you speak Spanish?
mdp.39015063942679	Can you think of any one,he went on,-"that he had treated badly?"
mdp.39015063942679	Cold feet?
mdp.39015063942679	Could it have been Saranoff?
mdp.39015063942679	Could n't Tony have had more than one?
mdp.39015063942679	Could n't it have been the shot that wakened you?
mdp.39015063942679	Could you catch what was said?
mdp.39015063942679	D'you hear that?
mdp.39015063942679	Did Gilmore have a silver flask with him that night?
mdp.39015063942679	Did Gilmore take a drink?
mdp.39015063942679	Did Selma stay in the machine?
mdp.39015063942679	Did Tony leave the kitchen at any time?
mdp.39015063942679	Did he die at once — without a word?
mdp.39015063942679	Did he keep his rooms locked?
mdp.39015063942679	Did he take it with him?
mdp.39015063942679	Did n't she ever doubt her own standards?
mdp.39015063942679	Did n't you get my note?
mdp.39015063942679	Did n't you see any one? mdp.39015063942679 Did she walk in and give you fits this other time — the night of the murder?"
mdp.39015063942679	Did you ask him about his employer's habits?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you ever work in a sweat- shop? mdp.39015063942679 Did you get near them before?"
mdp.39015063942679	Did you go in the way you came out?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you go out at once?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you go out to see the body?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you have one?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you hear anything when the car stopped?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you hear what that hellcat said to me?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you kill him?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you know that Tony's dead? mdp.39015063942679 Did you meet his other friends?"
mdp.39015063942679	Did you notice any sounds out of the ordinary Saturday night?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you notify the police?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you put the revolver back in the drawer?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you ride to your door?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you say Kent?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you see Hartley climb into Gilmore's car?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you see Saranoff throw the cocktail glass at Gilmore?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you see what I saw?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you take it?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you then go to bed yourself?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you throw away what remained?
mdp.39015063942679	Did you, Mrs. Barnett, hear any one enter the study after Tony left?
mdp.39015063942679	Disappointed?
mdp.39015063942679	Do I have to go in there again?
mdp.39015063942679	Do n't you truly and honestly want to take me now? mdp.39015063942679 Do n't you trust me?"
mdp.39015063942679	Do n't you wish you'd taken your midnight stroll in another direction?
mdp.39015063942679	Do what?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you batch it?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you care to come along?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you doubt him?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you know her name?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you know this man?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you mean Iowa?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you mean Tony's flask? mdp.39015063942679 Do you mean me, you cub?"
mdp.39015063942679	Do you mean off- color or obscene?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you mean,she queried impatiently,"were we petting?"
mdp.39015063942679	Do you recall his words?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you recall that we found the key to Gilmore's study in the outside of the door?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you suppose, Ran, I'll ever be happy again?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you think she'd be apt to wear that shade?
mdp.39015063942679	Do you want me to get Aileen?
mdp.39015063942679	Does he speak English?
mdp.39015063942679	Does it? mdp.39015063942679 Does n't he think I can help?
mdp.39015063942679	Evidence?
mdp.39015063942679	Excuse me,interposed the reporter,"hut will you be kind enough, Miss Saranoff, to answer that question?"
mdp.39015063942679	Find it hot here?
mdp.39015063942679	First peak of the Jewish Alps, eh? mdp.39015063942679 Fond of Gilmore, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063942679	For the same reason — to keep it from the news- papers?
mdp.39015063942679	From what direction did the shot come?
mdp.39015063942679	Gilmore's desk? mdp.39015063942679 Go into the house?"
mdp.39015063942679	Good publicity, eh? mdp.39015063942679 Gwan?
mdp.39015063942679	Had Saranoff been his mistress?
mdp.39015063942679	Had you thought of it before?
mdp.39015063942679	Happened, eh?
mdp.39015063942679	Harmless as a dove, eh?
mdp.39015063942679	Hartley wanted to marry you and Gilmore wouldn't — was that the difference?
mdp.39015063942679	Have n't I seen it many a time? mdp.39015063942679 Have n't you any idea who did the shooting?"
mdp.39015063942679	Have n't you anything to do these days but play detective?
mdp.39015063942679	Have you any idea who edged her out?
mdp.39015063942679	Have you any idea who might have killed this man?
mdp.39015063942679	Have you any proof that this is the same gun?
mdp.39015063942679	Have you ever tried?
mdp.39015063942679	Have you made inquiries?
mdp.39015063942679	Have you questioned Mrs. Barnett as to the people who have been in or about the house?
mdp.39015063942679	He was at work in the kitchen all this time?
mdp.39015063942679	He was sore?
mdp.39015063942679	He will, eh? mdp.39015063942679 Here at the house, you mean?"
mdp.39015063942679	Home?
mdp.39015063942679	How about it, Miss Gilmore?
mdp.39015063942679	How about it, Ran? mdp.39015063942679 How are you going?"
mdp.39015063942679	How can I?
mdp.39015063942679	How can there be when I saw him slip it in his pocket? mdp.39015063942679 How did Gilmore like that?"
mdp.39015063942679	How did Mrs. Barnett take it?
mdp.39015063942679	How do you know?
mdp.39015063942679	How long was he gone?
mdp.39015063942679	How should I know? mdp.39015063942679 How soon did he rent the Hollywood love- nest?"
mdp.39015063942679	How was that?
mdp.39015063942679	How, then, do you make a Uving?
mdp.39015063942679	I do n't wish to be intrusive, Aileen, but are you willing to leave matters in this lawyer's hands?
mdp.39015063942679	I know,he said at last,"that many Americans think all Orientals are — what is the expression? — balmy.
mdp.39015063942679	I suppose I may be allowed to come?
mdp.39015063942679	I want to know what you're doing here? mdp.39015063942679 I'm going to have Holkar taken into custody. ” “ On suspicion of murder? ” “ Still jumping, eh?
mdp.39015063942679	I'm going to have Holkar taken into custody. ” “ On suspicion of murder? ” “ Still jumping, eh? mdp.39015063942679 If he did come in, would n't he have taken his overcoat?
mdp.39015063942679	If that's how the wind blows why do n't you release Hartley on bail?
mdp.39015063942679	In Los Angeles?
mdp.39015063942679	In that case, perhaps you wo n't mind if I talk with him in private?
mdp.39015063942679	In this incarnation?
mdp.39015063942679	Including mine?
mdp.39015063942679	Is Aileen all right?
mdp.39015063942679	Is he dippy over Saranoff?
mdp.39015063942679	Is he in the house?
mdp.39015063942679	Is it neces- sary to ransack her belongings?
mdp.39015063942679	Is it perfectly agreeable to you?
mdp.39015063942679	Is n't he?
mdp.39015063942679	Is n't this a roundabout way to the District At- torney's office?
mdp.39015063942679	Is n't this to be a happy day, my dear?
mdp.39015063942679	Is that all you had to say?
mdp.39015063942679	Is that all?
mdp.39015063942679	Is that in doubt, too?
mdp.39015063942679	Is that so strange? mdp.39015063942679 Is that what you plan to do?"
mdp.39015063942679	Is that you, Myrtle?
mdp.39015063942679	It comes down to that, does n't it? mdp.39015063942679 It does n't occur to you that your niece may have written it?"
mdp.39015063942679	It means that we are of like mind?
mdp.39015063942679	It never occurred to you that Holkar could have taken the letters with a police officer on guard?
mdp.39015063942679	It will be all right, then, to send flowers?
mdp.39015063942679	It's been worrying you?
mdp.39015063942679	Just as you were when Gilmore was shot?
mdp.39015063942679	Just fancied having a celebrity on his string, eh?
mdp.39015063942679	Just what do you mean by that?
mdp.39015063942679	Kent, shall I get Miss Gilmore?
mdp.39015063942679	Like Sherlock Holmes? mdp.39015063942679 Look innocent enough, do n't they?"
mdp.39015063942679	May I ask if you have had an intuition regarding Tony's death?
mdp.39015063942679	May I ask why you give me this fatherly advice?
mdp.39015063942679	May I come in?
mdp.39015063942679	May I go in?
mdp.39015063942679	May I go inside?
mdp.39015063942679	May I go up? mdp.39015063942679 May I speak to the proprietor?"
mdp.39015063942679	Mexican, are n't you?
mdp.39015063942679	Miss Gilmore's room?
mdp.39015063942679	More letters?
mdp.39015063942679	More than Hartley?
mdp.39015063942679	Mr. Holkar, do you know the nature of an oath?
mdp.39015063942679	Mr. Holkar,he began,"can you tell me how Gilmore's letters got in your desk?"
mdp.39015063942679	Mr. Kent,he said,"will you ask Miss Gilmore to repeat our conversation?"
mdp.39015063942679	Mr. Raneleigh, does it seem so queer to you?
mdp.39015063942679	Mr. Raneleigh,he said, with an eager glint in his eye,"could Saranoff have known of this door?"
mdp.39015063942679	Must we have a destination? mdp.39015063942679 Name and address?"
mdp.39015063942679	Near the Plaza?
mdp.39015063942679	No Chinese nightmare for her, eh? mdp.39015063942679 No one else?"
mdp.39015063942679	No? mdp.39015063942679 No?
mdp.39015063942679	No? mdp.39015063942679 No?
mdp.39015063942679	No?
mdp.39015063942679	Nor to- morrow?
mdp.39015063942679	Nor your family?
mdp.39015063942679	Not a pistol- shot?
mdp.39015063942679	Not before we showed it to you to- night?
mdp.39015063942679	Not more? mdp.39015063942679 Not your brand of fiction, eh?"
mdp.39015063942679	Now why,she argued,"ca n't I have another cocktail?"
mdp.39015063942679	Now, about women? mdp.39015063942679 Now,"he said,"what I want to know is this: On the night of your party, was Tony with you all of the time you were mixing the punch?"
mdp.39015063942679	Oh, that silver flask, you mean? mdp.39015063942679 On Ling?"
mdp.39015063942679	Opium?
mdp.39015063942679	Or any one who was jealous of him?
mdp.39015063942679	Or fifteen?
mdp.39015063942679	Or where?
mdp.39015063942679	Over the wire? mdp.39015063942679 Psychical research?"
mdp.39015063942679	Psychology, eh? mdp.39015063942679 Rather questionable ethics, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063942679	Reality lies hidden by the appearance of reality? mdp.39015063942679 Saranoff's own letters — the ones she wrote Tony — were returned to her?"
mdp.39015063942679	Sergeant, what is that flat- foot doing here?
mdp.39015063942679	Sergeant, who searched the body?
mdp.39015063942679	Sha n't I speak to the Chief first?
mdp.39015063942679	She came here, did n't she?
mdp.39015063942679	She came in, you say?
mdp.39015063942679	She minds what you say?
mdp.39015063942679	She still takes it hard?
mdp.39015063942679	She's your client, is n't she?
mdp.39015063942679	Slept here now and then, perhaps, after a big night?
mdp.39015063942679	So it was you who fired that shot?
mdp.39015063942679	So you and Gilmore went to the mat at the party?
mdp.39015063942679	So you decided against such a spectacular exit? mdp.39015063942679 So?
mdp.39015063942679	Something to eat, then?
mdp.39015063942679	Still another? mdp.39015063942679 Surely, Mr. Kent, you do n't expect to dawdle all winter over this case?"
mdp.39015063942679	That is correct?
mdp.39015063942679	The Chief?
mdp.39015063942679	The cook? mdp.39015063942679 The door was nailed on this side, eh?
mdp.39015063942679	The driver's record clears her?
mdp.39015063942679	The final break came, did n't it, when he fell for Saranoff?
mdp.39015063942679	The question now is, do you wish to remain?
mdp.39015063942679	The shot?
mdp.39015063942679	The woman was Miss Saranoff?
mdp.39015063942679	Then Tony got out?
mdp.39015063942679	Then ca n't her name be left out of the case? mdp.39015063942679 Then that lets Gerald Hartley out?"
mdp.39015063942679	Then who put it back? mdp.39015063942679 Then why did you build it?"
mdp.39015063942679	Then you do n't know? mdp.39015063942679 There was a[ 250] Was It Aileen?
mdp.39015063942679	These were not drawn as they are now?
mdp.39015063942679	They were quiet neighbors? mdp.39015063942679 They're all out?"
mdp.39015063942679	They're not incriminating?
mdp.39015063942679	This is n't your idea of a bedroom, I infer?
mdp.39015063942679	This, too, is surmise?
mdp.39015063942679	Through the wrapping- paper?
mdp.39015063942679	To her room?
mdp.39015063942679	Tony Gilmore's servant?
mdp.39015063942679	Totally paralyzed, eh?
mdp.39015063942679	Valet, I suppose?
mdp.39015063942679	Was I asked?
mdp.39015063942679	Was Saranoff a gutter- snipe?
mdp.39015063942679	Was he a free spender?
mdp.39015063942679	Was he, should you judge, about through with her?
mdp.39015063942679	Was it empty?
mdp.39015063942679	Was n't he harmless?
mdp.39015063942679	Was n't that unusual?
mdp.39015063942679	Was n't there,he asked, speaking very slowly,"was n't there a revolver?"
mdp.39015063942679	Was she on good terms with her brother?
mdp.39015063942679	Was the door wide open?

mdp.39015063942679	Why bring your troubles to me?
mdp.39015063942679	Why did Saranoff's call excite Miss Gilmore?

mdp.39015063942679	Why does a bank stick up granite columns in front and slather marble about inside?

mdp.39015063942679	Why should I burden myself with this gat? mdp.39015063942679 Why should I go over this again and again like a parrot because you ca n't see your way?
mdp.39015063942679	Why should n't I? mdp.39015063942679 Why should n't we make use of it?"
mdp.39015063942679	Why should you be afraid?
mdp.39015063942679	Why the play- acting, Aileen?
mdp.39015063942679	Why?
mdp.39015063942679	Why?
mdp.39015063942679	Wide awake and yet you did n't hear a gun fired just outside your windows?
mdp.39015063942679	Will Aileen be able to go to the service?
mdp.39015063942679	Will you be good enough to come back to the table?
mdp.39015063942679	Will you come in here, Mr. Kent? mdp.39015063942679 Will you find out if Mr. Boggs has any more questions to ask me?"
mdp.39015063942679	Will you help me, Ran? mdp.39015063942679 Will you permit me to be present?"
mdp.39015063942679	Will you tell me why you touched it?
mdp.39015063942679	Will you, Miss Saranoff, tell the jury why you changed to the back seat?
mdp.39015063942679	With the rooms locked?
mdp.39015063942679	Without leaving the car?
mdp.39015063942679	Wo n't I do?
mdp.39015063942679	Wo n't it be inconvenient to do without them so long?
mdp.39015063942679	Wo n't you lie down again, my dear?
mdp.39015063942679	Would Aileen, living under the same roof with her brother, have sat down and written him a letter? mdp.39015063942679 Would n't some California resort benefit her as much as Iowa?"
mdp.39015063942679	Yes? mdp.39015063942679 Yet you were not aroused when Gilmore came home?"
mdp.39015063942679	You are going over to question him?
mdp.39015063942679	You can say that to me, Mrs. Barnett? mdp.39015063942679 You did not see him, then?"
mdp.39015063942679	You drove straight here from the Brownriggs'?
mdp.39015063942679	You felt that Tony had gone quite out of bounds — that Aileen would be ruined if he continued on his mad way — that you must do something?
mdp.39015063942679	You found him congenial — a lively companion?
mdp.39015063942679	You heard no shot whatever?
mdp.39015063942679	You heard no shot?
mdp.39015063942679	You heard the shot and saw him fall?
mdp.39015063942679	You insist on coupling the two?
mdp.39015063942679	You know that, too?
mdp.39015063942679	You learned of the murder later?
mdp.39015063942679	You like to have your sweeties well heeled, do n't you?
mdp.39015063942679	You mean Ida Hunter?
mdp.39015063942679	You mean his affairs with women?
mdp.39015063942679	You mean she thought she could warm up Gil- more's torpid affections by vamping Hartley?
mdp.39015063942679	You mean you would n't, do n't you?
mdp.39015063942679	You mean,she asked eagerly,"that we're free to go to Iowa?"
mdp.39015063942679	You never dreamed he'd end this way?
mdp.39015063942679	You saw her?
mdp.39015063942679	You saw them leave the house together?
mdp.39015063942679	You still suspected Aileen?
mdp.39015063942679	You then drove to Gilmore's?
mdp.39015063942679	You thought you'd better look into the matter?
mdp.39015063942679	You were already settled here?
mdp.39015063942679	You were his regular medical adviser?
mdp.39015063942679	You were intimate friends?
mdp.39015063942679	You will let me go to- night, Tony?
mdp.39015063942679	You will not admit that you and Gilmore quarreled on the way to his house, and that is why you, in anger, changed to the rear seat?
mdp.39015063942679	You will pardon me if I put one or two personal questions? mdp.39015063942679 You'll let me go home?"
mdp.39015063942679	You're better, my dear?
mdp.39015063942679	You're convinced that there is a connection be- tween the two murders?
mdp.39015063942679	You're still from Missouri, eh? mdp.39015063942679 You're sure of that?"
mdp.39015063942679	You've done quite a job of thinking about that booze- container, have n't you? mdp.39015063942679 Your daily chapter — oh, in the Bible, you mean?"
mdp.39015063942679	Your room is above the driveway, I believe?

mdp.39015063942679	Absurd?
mdp.39015063942679	Am I correct?"
mdp.39015063942679	And did it give certain favored callers a chance to slip in and out unobserved?"
mdp.39015063942679	And if he knew her to be guilty, would she have dared to turn on him as she did?
mdp.39015063942679	And is n't her hat a marvel?
mdp.39015063942679	And now that that chunk of philosophy is off my chest, will you answer a few straight questions?"
mdp.39015063942679	And now, how about Hartley?
mdp.39015063942679	And now, will you explain for the enlightenment of those not so familiar with such matters as you, precisely what that means?
mdp.39015063942679	And the flask — was that also in the drawer?"
mdp.39015063942679	And the furnishings?
mdp.39015063942679	And the reason you changed was that you and Gilmore had renewed a quarrel that started earlier in the evening at the Brownrigg party?
mdp.39015063942679	And was n't that precisely what Mrs. Barnett would think?
mdp.39015063942679	And was there not the added attraction of Knowlton Boggs?
mdp.39015063942679	And what was he going to do about it?
mdp.39015063942679	And why, if he had connived with Saranoff for the return of her letters, should she call up the Dis- trict Attorney's office?
mdp.39015063942679	And yet — why, Mr. Kent, could that creature have mailed them to herself?"
mdp.39015063942679	Are there no facts about this horrible business — Httle things which seemed insignificant at the moment — that we've overlooked?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you certain that, at no time during the evening, you saw such a flask in his possession?"
mdp.39015063942679	Are you doing anything to get Gerald Hartley out of jail?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you going to stand by and see an old friend treated like this?
mdp.39015063942679	Are you sure that five minutes did not elapse?
mdp.39015063942679	Asking questions is a necessary part of my work. ”"But why do n't you confine yourself to people whose lives are n't what they should be?

mdp.39015063942679	Conceding a motive for putting Tony out of the way, would he have stuck at the act itself?
mdp.39015063942679	Could Aileen re- frain?

mdp.39015063942679	Why, Ran?
mdp.39015063942679	Why, as the custodian of her fortune, had n't he the power to bid her stay?
mdp.39015063942679	Why, in return, might not the Hindu have had a key to that private door of Tony's?
mdp.39015063942679	Why, otherwise, was he under arrest?
mdp.39015063942679	Why?"
mdp.39015063942679	Will it be all right to mention Holkar and the letters?"
mdp.39015063942679	Will you be guided by me, for this once, just as if I were your brother?"
mdp.39015063942679	Will you be very careful what you say to Mr. Boggs — very careful what you say later?
mdp.39015063942679	Will you come along?

mdp.39015063942679	Wo n't you sit down?
mdp.39015063942679	Would he be asked what really trans- pired at the Brownrigg party?
mdp.39015063942679	Would he have had time to do that before you reached the scene?"
mdp.39015063942679	Would he never learn to keep his mouth shut before a reporter?
mdp.39015063942679	Would it collapse under police analysis?
mdp.39015063942679	Would she have the courage to admit this?

mdp.39015063942679	Would those timbers, while they stood, imprison faint shades of things unutterably sad?
mdp.39015063942679	Yes, she's doing nicely. ” “ Does she know about Ling? ”"I assume that she does, Mr. Raneleigh.
mdp.39015063942679	Yet how could she have expected that Tony, whose ideas had clashed at all points with hers, would hand over his estate to her control?
mdp.39015063942679	Yet, how could it be proved?
mdp.39015063942679	Yet, if they were alike innocent, who was guilty?
mdp.39015063942679	You believe that such things are going on, right here in Los Angeles, to- day?"
mdp.39015063942679	You do n't want me?"
mdp.39015063942679	You must want to help?"
mdp.39015063942679	You realized that suicide solves no problems?"
mdp.39015063942679	You saw nothing unusual?"

nyp.33433074843685	All right — how about this? nyp.33433074843685 And did n't we find her bound and gagged?"
nyp.33433074843685	And it was?

nyp.33433074843685	And who fired the other shot?
nyp.33433074843685	And why did you make him prisoner?
nyp.33433074843685	And you say that Harrelson was a pro- tege of yours; what was his attitude to- ward Hamilton?
nyp.33433074843685	And you, Carroll?

nyp.33433074843685	Are n't you equivocating, Carroll? nyp.33433074843685 Are you going to stick to that ridicu- lous story, sweetheart?"

nyp.33433074843685	How about your docket? nyp.33433074843685 How can that be?"
nyp.33433074843685	How do we know that he was grap- pling with him? nyp.33433074843685 How do you do it?"

nyp.33433074843685	How far can I trust myself to tell the truth, Carroll?
nyp.33433074843685	How so?
nyp.33433074843685	I guess you've heard my name from Mr. Hamilton, sir; have n't you?
nyp.33433074843685	I s'pose y'can prove it ai n't th'truth, huh?
nyp.33433074843685	I see you think the girl's bullet did it?
nyp.33433074843685	If I killed him?
nyp.33433074843685	If you intended to come down here and confess to the crime, why did you Tun away?
nyp.33433074843685	In the dark?
nyp.33433074843685	Is that the man?
nyp.33433074843685	Is that the truth, Vincent?
nyp.33433074843685	Is this the only house on this side of the street?
nyp.33433074843685	Now what about the darkness? nyp.33433074843685 O'Brien,"he said,"how goes it?'
nyp.33433074843685	One of them might have killed Hamil- 230 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS ton himself and planted the gun on you?
nyp.33433074843685	Only two shots? nyp.33433074843685 Over Rollins?"
nyp.33433074843685	Remember it all — on the instant?
nyp.33433074843685	Say, what th'hell you harping on that for? nyp.33433074843685 Sergeant O'Brien?"
nyp.33433074843685	She did n't like him?
nyp.33433074843685	So they talked a little more, an'then Donaldson says:'If you meet anybody there ai n't to be no shootin', understand? nyp.33433074843685 Sure?
nyp.33433074843685	That Rollins is in the middle of the •fireworks? nyp.33433074843685 That's a rather far- fetched coinci- dence, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074843685	That's — that's — what?
nyp.33433074843685	The butler?
nyp.33433074843685	The distance of a few feet?
nyp.33433074843685	The lights in the room where he was standing?
nyp.33433074843685	The third man concerned; who was he?
nyp.33433074843685	Then Donaldson says — shall I use the very words, sir?
nyp.33433074843685	Then what did he shoot?
nyp.33433074843685	Then why not Hartigan — in despera- tion?
nyp.33433074843685	There was no trouble between Mr. Hamilton and Miss Duval tonight?
nyp.33433074843685	Think carefully, Mr. Badger; did you hear another shot — just after the lights went on again?

nyp.33433074843685	Wo n't need Why? nyp.33433074843685 Would you say, after close investiga- tion, doctor,"questioned Carroll,"that the bullet that killed him was fired from very close to him?"
nyp.33433074843685	Y'think I'd b'lieve that?' nyp.33433074843685 Yes — why do you ask?"

nyp.33433074843685	You are quite positive that Donaldson said he had searched Hartigan and that Hartigan did not have a gun?
nyp.33433074843685	You are quite sure of that?

nyp.33433074843685	You are quite sure?
nyp.33433074843685	You are sure that that is where the bul- let went?
nyp.33433074843685	You certainly do n't think the case is finished?

nyp.33433074843685	You mean that you think I did not — even after I say that I did? nyp.33433074843685 You mean you killed Hamilton?"
nyp.33433074843685	You mean you wo n't tell?
nyp.33433074843685	You ran away?
nyp.33433074843685	You realize we've got you in a tight place?
nyp.33433074843685	You say you killed Hamilton?
nyp.33433074843685	You shot him in cold blood?
nyp.33433074843685	You will claim that you fired that?
nyp.33433074843685	You'll catch the one who did it? nyp.33433074843685 You're quite sure of that?"
nyp.33433074843685	You're quite sure,persisted Carroll,"that you found that revolver in Harti- gan's pocket?"
nyp.33433074843685	You've been here from the first, Raf- ferty?
nyp.33433074843685	Your revolver, Scammon?
nyp.33433074843685	~You're convinced that the truth will clear her, are you not?"
nyp.33433074843685	'An'what did you do with her, Lefty?'
nyp.33433074843685	'Disappeared?'
nyp.33433074843685	'Pwhat are ye afther meanin'be that, ma'am?'
nyp.33433074843685	1- 1"Did n't you know that Mr. Hamilton r. I had been killed?"
nyp.33433074843685	131 132 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS How can there be a doubt about a thing like that?"
nyp.33433074843685	178 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"Meaning?"
nyp.33433074843685	232 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"What about Ethel?"
nyp.33433074843685	248 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"Yes""What's that got to do with it?"
nyp.33433074843685	282 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"We've got him, have n't we, Rollins?"
nyp.33433074843685	46 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"Would you have heard it if there had been?"
nyp.33433074843685	50 SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"Do you realize what this means for you?"
nyp.33433074843685	A pal o'mine and me""Who?"
nyp.33433074843685	A pause, and then:"Whatman?"
nyp.33433074843685	Ai n't I been under guard, huh?
nyp.33433074843685	Ai n't I told you right from th'first that I was shot while I was standin'behind th'screen?"
nyp.33433074843685	Ai n't that so, Rollins?"
nyp.33433074843685	An'as for one of my pals plantin'th'rod on me — ain't I told you they was my pals?
nyp.33433074843685	An'when a man hides does he stand upright?
nyp.33433074843685	And Hartigan""And Hartigan?"
nyp.33433074843685	And Miss Duval still refuses to go into de- tails?"
nyp.33433074843685	And now, Denson — what?"
nyp.33433074843685	And there ai n't no hard feelin's over my bein'sore at you?"
nyp.33433074843685	And when you're relieved in the morning tell Ryall — he's day sergeant, is n't he1?"
nyp.33433074843685	And why?"
nyp.33433074843685	And you, Carroll?"
nyp.33433074843685	And,"with quaint dignity,"I guess that's all, ai n't it, gentlemen*?"
nyp.33433074843685	Any- thing new*?"
nyp.33433074843685	Anything new to- night?"
nyp.33433074843685	Are we to believe, then, that he shot after switching the lights back on and after he had been wounded?"
nyp.33433074843685	Are you telling ithe truth now, or did some one get to you?"
nyp.33433074843685	Are you willing?"
nyp.33433074843685	Aren't their names entered here?"
nyp.33433074843685	As they started down the walk, Hall spoke:"What do you intend to do next?"
nyp.33433074843685	Ask her first if she knows who Badger is?"
nyp.33433074843685	Aw, what is this, a joke party?"
nyp.33433074843685	Badger?
nyp.33433074843685	But why keep Rollins in the dark?
nyp.33433074843685	But why the con- fessions of Miss Duval and Harrelson?"
nyp.33433074843685	But you've uttered your last personality; get that?"
nyp.33433074843685	By the way, where did you find Hartigan's revolver?
nyp.33433074843685	CHAPTER XIII WHERE is she now?"
nyp.33433074843685	Ca n't you see why they brought us to- gether in here?
nyp.33433074843685	Ca n't you understand the utter absurdity of her plea that she killed him?
nyp.33433074843685	Ca n't you understand what I came here for?
nyp.33433074843685	Call Rafferty from the parlour, will you?"
nyp.33433074843685	Carroll questioned idly:"Hamilton employed how many serv- ants?"
nyp.33433074843685	Carroll spoke without raising his eyes:"You are sure these are police revolvers, Rollins?"
nyp.33433074843685	Carroll?"
nyp.33433074843685	D'yuh have to have everybody mixed up in the case come out an'paraded before y"?
nyp.33433074843685	Den- son?"
nyp.33433074843685	Denson?"
nyp.33433074843685	Did n't you say it was in his pocket1?"
nyp.33433074843685	Did one of them shoot you?"
nyp.33433074843685	Did you see this man, Miss Duval?"
nyp.33433074843685	Didjafindagunonme?"
nyp.33433074843685	Do n't you believe his story about Hartigan?"
nyp.33433074843685	Do you know of him?"
nyp.33433074843685	Do you?"
nyp.33433074843685	Edward Hamilton?"
nyp.33433074843685	Eunice, please, wo n't you take a friend's advice and retract your confes- sion?"
nyp.33433074843685	Faber?"
nyp.33433074843685	Fi- nally he broke out irritably:"What are you staring at?
nyp.33433074843685	Finally he turned and addressed Hall:"That's all, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074843685	For the first time since leaving the police sta- tion, Carroll spoke:"This is the house?'
nyp.33433074843685	From the op- posite corner, he spoke over his shoulder:"Would you mind standing exactly on the spot from which you shot, Miss Du- val?'
nyp.33433074843685	Get it?"
nyp.33433074843685	Hall?"
nyp.33433074843685	Hamilton killed?"
nyp.33433074843685	Hamilton?"
nyp.33433074843685	Have n't you some ulterior motive?"
nyp.33433074843685	Have you had breakfast?"
nyp.33433074843685	Have you heard anything from your maid or the butler yet?"
nyp.33433074843685	He has n't come yet, has he?"
nyp.33433074843685	He interrupted the girl:"What sort of looking man was it?"
nyp.33433074843685	He questioned the doctor:"The man was only shot once; you are quite sure?"
nyp.33433074843685	He was hidin', was n't he?
nyp.33433074843685	Here Carroll interrupted, his voice soft and soothing:"What do you mean by repeating that you shot him in the dark?
nyp.33433074843685	How about it?"
nyp.33433074843685	How about it?"
nyp.33433074843685	How could any one do that?
nyp.33433074843685	How do you tally that with the three empty revolvers?"
nyp.33433074843685	I do n't see,"he complained,"why they al- ways start in on the police when they de- cide a city needs cleanin'up?"
nyp.33433074843685	I want speed; understand?
nyp.33433074843685	In the first place, you have never answered my question; did Hamil- ton dislike Harrelson very keenly*?"
nyp.33433074843685	Is Rollins there?"
nyp.33433074843685	Is n't that it?"
nyp.33433074843685	Is n't that so?"
nyp.33433074843685	Is that correct?"
nyp.33433074843685	It was pretty bright, an'I did n't have no trouble spottin'th'bush Rollins was hid behind, see?
nyp.33433074843685	Lefty says to Donaldson:"'How's things goin'?'
nyp.33433074843685	Meanwhile, Mr. Denson, did n't I understand that you visited Hamilton tonight?"
nyp.33433074843685	Misther Hall, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074843685	Mr. Hall, did n't Rollins resign his position on the force a few minutes back?"
nyp.33433074843685	My Gawd, Mr. Carroll, do n't that sound reasonable?"
nyp.33433074843685	My self- defence plea would amount to nothing, then, would it?
nyp.33433074843685	Now will you retract your silly, soft- hearted confes- sion?"
nyp.33433074843685	On the level, you ai n't stringing me, are you?
nyp.33433074843685	Please tell me""Do n't you understand, darling?
nyp.33433074843685	Rollins, you see, do n't want to say anything officially because he has resigned from the police force""What's that?"
nyp.33433074843685	SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 171"Another shot?
nyp.33433074843685	SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 207"No one was in the room when you came in from the dining room?"
nyp.33433074843685	SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 3"They're wise, ai n't they?
nyp.33433074843685	SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 45"You shot through the window?"
nyp.33433074843685	SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 47"Now suppose you tell us, Mr. Badger,"he said quietly,"why you killed Mr. Ham- ilton?"
nyp.33433074843685	SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 91"Him and her is pretty good friends, ai n't they?"
nyp.33433074843685	Scammon's story sounds true; there's just one more link necessary — would you mind letting me see your revolver?"
nyp.33433074843685	See?"
nyp.33433074843685	Sergeant O'Brien rasped them back and bowed to the girl:"Yes, miss?"
nyp.33433074843685	Tell me first, do you know of a man named Freder- ick Badger?"
nyp.33433074843685	That Hamilton's been trying to get him ever since Hall became inter- ested in this Civic Reform League?
nyp.33433074843685	That it had one he did not doubt; but what?
nyp.33433074843685	The facts of the burglary were plain enough; the butler helping Hartigan and SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS 261"What th'hell does it all mean?'
nyp.33433074843685	The two guys come, fightin', into the room""Nobody else in there?"
nyp.33433074843685	The whole crowd?'
nyp.33433074843685	Then take y'r pick?"
nyp.33433074843685	This hand here — see?"
nyp.33433074843685	Understand?
nyp.33433074843685	Was Donaldson in with you?"
nyp.33433074843685	What do you make of these disappearances?"
nyp.33433074843685	What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074843685	What else should I do?
nyp.33433074843685	What is it?"
nyp.33433074843685	What more is needed?"
nyp.33433074843685	What's first on the program?"
nyp.33433074843685	What's new with you?"
nyp.33433074843685	What's this?"
nyp.33433074843685	What's wrong wit'that story?"
nyp.33433074843685	Where did you get this gun, Hartigan?"
nyp.33433074843685	Where had he heard the name before?
nyp.33433074843685	Where is he?"
nyp.33433074843685	Where is the cook?"
nyp.33433074843685	Where was he when you shot?"
nyp.33433074843685	Which shot, if you please, did you fire?'
nyp.33433074843685	Who are they?"
nyp.33433074843685	Who were your pals?"
nyp.33433074843685	Who — who?
nyp.33433074843685	Why ca n't you tell me what you think?"
nyp.33433074843685	Why had he mentioned Hamilton, of all people?
nyp.33433074843685	Why is it not possible that both he and Miss Duval shot?"
nyp.33433074843685	Why should I stand by and see such a girl throw herself away on that sort of man?
nyp.33433074843685	Why should we believe every detail of the crook's story?"
nyp.33433074843685	Why, then, suppose that his aim was so deadly accurate that he hit his target even in the dark?
nyp.33433074843685	Why?"
nyp.33433074843685	Why?"
nyp.33433074843685	Will you tell me this?
nyp.33433074843685	Wo n't you ask them to put me somewhere — by myself?
nyp.33433074843685	Wo n't you take me to that — that — room?"
nyp.33433074843685	You cer- tainly do n't take any stock in Rollins'hap- hazard guess that they got frightened at the sound of shooting and ran away?"
nyp.33433074843685	You have formulated an idea as to who did the killing?"
nyp.33433074843685	You have talked with Miss Duval, have n't you?"
nyp.33433074843685	You say Miss Duval does n't wish to make a statement now?"
nyp.33433074843685	You tell her this, Carroll, honestly: Do you or do you not think that I would be acquitted on the facts as you know them?"
nyp.33433074843685	You wanted to see me privately?"
nyp.33433074843685	You, Hartigan, said something about pals; do you mean that you were not alone in this robbery?"
nyp.33433074843685	You?"
nyp.33433074843685	igo SIX SECONDS OF DARKNESS"What has that to do with it?"
nyp.33433074843685	kYou'll do it, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433074876271	- “ Well, and who are you? ” began the other cheerfully.
nyp.33433074876271	148 My Lord DUKE “ You never asked her — what I think of ask- ing one of these days? ” “ Never. ” “ Thank God, old man.
nyp.33433074876271	172 MY LORD DUKE What, did you take me for a dirty skunk like yourself?
nyp.33433074876271	A CHANCE LOST 35 “ What is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074876271	A WBLL- wish ER. ” Now what does it all mean?
nyp.33433074876271	Am I right in understanding the bar sinister to be your only objection to our friend? ” “ You may put it so, ” said Mr. Sellwood shortly.
nyp.33433074876271	And have you known me all these years, and do you really and truly expect me to marry again?
nyp.33433074876271	And what I was going to say was this: you remember that night in your rooms in town?
nyp.33433074876271	And you call that drop a nobbler, do you, in the old country?
nyp.33433074876271	Are you fond of cats? ” she asked the Duke.
nyp.33433074876271	Are you, Stebbings? ” The butler murmured an inarticulate reply.
nyp.33433074876271	As I say — it's nothing new l ’ ” “ Who was the lawyer? ” “ You would n’t know him. ” “ I mean to know who he was.
nyp.33433074876271	But I wish to goodness all this had never happened'"“ So do we all; but if there was a doubt, surely it was best to set it at rest?
nyp.33433074876271	But was that genuine?
nyp.33433074876271	But what had old Maitland to say? ” “ Everything, ” cried Claude.
nyp.33433074876271	CONTENTS THE HEAD of THE FAMILY “ HAPPY JACK'?
nyp.33433074876271	Can you forgive me?
nyp.33433074876271	Candidly now: what has taken him up to town in such a hurry?
nyp.33433074876271	Claude was “ HAPPY JACK'?
nyp.33433074876271	Claude — old man — she never was — your girl? ” “ Never, ” said Claude decidedly.
nyp.33433074876271	Could he have been ill instead of drunk?
nyp.33433074876271	Could he indeed return to that rough routine after all these weeks of aristocratic ease?
nyp.33433074876271	Do you know, I never thought of that? ” “ It's obvious; besides, there's the Eliza Hunt on the gravestone, I ’ve seen it myself.
nyp.33433074876271	Do you mean it? ” “ Of course I care.
nyp.33433074876271	Do you mind? ” Claude had stated but one fact of many.
nyp.33433074876271	Do you notice how he “ sirs ’ me, Miss Sellwood?
nyp.33433074876271	Do you think I am only a fair- weather girl?
nyp.33433074876271	Do you think I got in this position through my own fault or of my own accord?
nyp.33433074876271	Do you think I'm so sweet on it as to sit tight at the mercy of a thing like you?
nyp.33433074876271	Does he mean I'm not a Duke?
nyp.33433074876271	English fashion, is it?
nyp.33433074876271	Even if we had n't, who has recognized him?
nyp.33433074876271	Good heavens, do you suppose he was no more to me than one of my ordinary station hands?
nyp.33433074876271	Has he one single witness to his identity?
nyp.33433074876271	Have n't you? ” Claude sat down with a groan, shaking his head, and never seeing the glittering, plump, outstretched hand.
nyp.33433074876271	Have you made any plans?
nyp.33433074876271	Have you? ” “ Yes, I have a trifle for her; it's rather a different thing on her birthday, you know.
nyp.33433074876271	He is simply sweet. ” “ In fact we might do worse from every point of view; is that it? ” said the Home Secretary dryly.
nyp.33433074876271	He was becoming un- strung; why should he not tune himself up with the brandy?
nyp.33433074876271	He would not allow her to get rid of Claude?
nyp.33433074876271	Hear that, Livingstone?
nyp.33433074876271	How can I help it?
nyp.33433074876271	How could it be otherwise?
nyp.33433074876271	How do I know what you'll do next?
nyp.33433074876271	How many of us would carry ourselves as well in — in our bush garments? ” speculated her Lady- ship, for the benefit of more ears than Claude's.
nyp.33433074876271	I found the clerk, and he showed me the marriage register, but there was no such marriage on that date( or any other) in that church; so why in any?
nyp.33433074876271	I hear her saying every blessed thing but ‘ yes! ” Yet it is n't such cheek as all that, is it, Claude?
nyp.33433074876271	I hope as I gave you time enough?
nyp.33433074876271	I knew it was one of you evangelists. ” “ What would you do? ” asked the Duke.
nyp.33433074876271	I recollect see- ing him in Wagga when I was a lad, and we took a great interest in his case up the bush; but why am I like him?
nyp.33433074876271	I say, though, why are n't we going there? ” “ Well, the fact is, they're not quite ready for you; I mean the servants.
nyp.33433074876271	I took this idea into my head, and I could think of nothing else. ” “ May we have another window open?
nyp.33433074876271	I was interested, because I knew you must be one of Jack's re- lations. ” “ And did you find out? ” inquired Claude, with pardonable curiosity.
nyp.33433074876271	I would n't believe his oath in a court of justice. ” “ What about the bank- book? ” “ A fraud within a fraud! ” “ Not it.
nyp.33433074876271	I ’ve no doubt you can not tell us! ” “ Can I not? ” cried the Duke, as Claude stopped him, unobserved, from pouring his tea into the saucer.
nyp.33433074876271	I'll smoke one cigarette; then I must be off. ” “ Where to? ” “ My chambers — to dress. ” “ To undress, you mean! ” “ No, to dress.
nyp.33433074876271	Is it incon- ceivable that a young man with my then repu- tation should jump at the chance of dying on paper — if you will permit the expression?
nyp.33433074876271	Is it possible he has never told you the story? ” “ Not a word of it!
nyp.33433074876271	Is it simple cheek, or is n't it?
nyp.33433074876271	Is there anything in it? ” asked Mr. Sellwood of his wife.
nyp.33433074876271	It began — “ What songs have I to sing you?
nyp.33433074876271	It did n't seem so to you?

nyp.33433074876271	It was Matthew Hunt. ” “ Well? ” said Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	It was the sweetest music I ever heard, was that there date| Shall I tell you why?
nyp.33433074876271	It was true after all! ” 260 MY LORD DUKE ” “ Hunt's story, darling? ” “ Hunt's story.
nyp.33433074876271	Jack Greenfield — if he'll take it. ” “ A good house? ” said Mr. Sellwood casually.
nyp.33433074876271	Jack — my boy — have I to tell you how it is with me?
nyp.33433074876271	Jack, I see your face| You wonder you did n't spot it at the time?
nyp.33433074876271	May I ask when he decided to go? ” Jack hesitated.
nyp.33433074876271	Mean- while, take my word for it, you're as safe as the Queen upon her throne. ” “ And you? ” said Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	Mr. Cripps? ” Jack did not answer.
nyp.33433074876271	My — do you know what you've said?
nyp.33433074876271	None hap- pier! ” “ But apart from the girl? ” “ You ca n't get apart from her; that's just it.
nyp.33433074876271	Now, my dear, what are you givin'us?
nyp.33433074876271	Of course he is dreadfully cut up. ” “ Then why did he pretend to be pleased? ” “ That was his pluck.
nyp.33433074876271	Oh, Jack, where have you been? ” Mr. Sellwood never heard the answer; he was bristling at the touch of Dalrymple, who had led him aside.
nyp.33433074876271	Oh, ca n't you put yourself in my place?
nyp.33433074876271	On the other hand, I love my — may I say my art?
nyp.33433074876271	Only last season there was a man killed in the Row I Was he — a very rough diamond, Claude? ” “ Very. ” Lady Caroline sighed complacently.
nyp.33433074876271	Or at din- ner to- night?
nyp.33433074876271	See that black'un in the corner?
nyp.33433074876271	Shall I tell you what I've done?
nyp.33433074876271	She said so herself. ” “ Would you put me up to things in the meantime?
nyp.33433074876271	So this is your latest, is it? ” “ The limited large- paper edition, ” said Claude.
nyp.33433074876271	Something was the matter: had the lovers eloped?
nyp.33433074876271	Still I had to empty it first and see that afterwards. ” “ But why?
nyp.33433074876271	Suppose he had never left the bush?
nyp.33433074876271	Surely it can keep an- other week?
nyp.33433074876271	Surely it's worth more than two hundred a year to you?
nyp.33433074876271	Surely you'll agree with me there? ” “ I must; it's only the money that sticks with me.
nyp.33433074876271	That was the con- dition, was n’t it? ” “ Well? ” “ You ’ve let the secret out, you cur! ” cried Jack, jumping to his feet.
nyp.33433074876271	That was the con- dition, was n’t it? ” “ Well? ” “ You ’ve let the secret out, you cur! ” cried Jack, jumping to his feet.
nyp.33433074876271	Then what can he mean?
nyp.33433074876271	Then you begin to like your position for its own sake? ” “ That's so, ” replied Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	They ought to be papered over, for decency's sake; and that brute of a bed, who would sleep in it, I should like to know?
nyp.33433074876271	Three o'clock; it'll be light before we know where we are; you wo n't leave a fellow till it is, will you?
nyp.33433074876271	Understand?
nyp.33433074876271	Was he going, then?
nyp.33433074876271	Was he married?
nyp.33433074876271	Was there ever such a day for golf? ” Claude wavered visibly.
nyp.33433074876271	We never thought we was a Dook, did we?
nyp.33433074876271	Were you, or were you not? ” “ I was not, your Grace. ” “ ‘ Your Grace,'you see"repeated the squat- DE MORTUIS 297 ter.
nyp.33433074876271	What about the other joker?
nyp.33433074876271	What could she ever do?
nyp.33433074876271	What did he do?
nyp.33433074876271	What did he say to- night?
nyp.33433074876271	What did it matter if I knocked down my cheque when I got full up of the cats and the hut?
nyp.33433074876271	What do you think of the tea? ” “ Capital! ” cried Claude, who was seated on “ DEAD NUTS ’’- 143 the bunk.
nyp.33433074876271	What do you think of this? ” And he took from a vase on the dressing- table an enormous white bouquet, that opened Claude's eyes wider than before.
nyp.33433074876271	What do you think? ” he added, turning to a stable- boy who stood handy with thin brown arms akimbo, and thumbs in his belt.
nyp.33433074876271	What do you want me to do? ” “ It may seem very hard, ” said Mr. Sellwood, THE BAR SINISTER 273 marry her, knowing what I am.
nyp.33433074876271	What had she done to deserve such happiness?
nyp.33433074876271	What has he done, Mr. Dalrymple? ” “ Refused to take in my bag l Says it's the footman's place l ’ ” “ Then what's he here for?
nyp.33433074876271	What has he done, Mr. Dalrymple? ” “ Refused to take in my bag l Says it's the footman's place l ’ ” “ Then what's he here for?
nyp.33433074876271	What if I did at the time? ” “ I do n't see how you could, ” said Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	What was it you'd have said if only you'd had the cheek?
nyp.33433074876271	What was your crime?
nyp.33433074876271	What's the good?
nyp.33433074876271	What's the use, when there are dozens of good rooms lying idle in the house?
nyp.33433074876271	What's your price 7 ” “ Two thousand. ” “ A year? ” “ Two thousand a year.
nyp.33433074876271	Where can we go?'
nyp.33433074876271	Where's that stove- pipe hat? ” “ Let me go, ” said Stubbs, getting up.
nyp.33433074876271	Which do you believe?
nyp.33433074876271	Who am I to dare to look at her?
nyp.33433074876271	Who saw him last? ” “ The hotel people, early this morning.
nyp.33433074876271	Why did n't you go on sit- ting there with your back to the door? ” “ You saw me! ” cried Hunt, coming in.
nyp.33433074876271	Why do n't you let me help myself, like they do up the “ HAPPY JACK"28 bush?
nyp.33433074876271	Why should I?
nyp.33433074876271	Why should it?
nyp.33433074876271	Why then, better than now? ” “ Because I care, too, ” she whispered, so that the words just travelled to his ear.
nyp.33433074876271	Witnesses?
nyp.33433074876271	Would Claude join him and then go back to the hut for an early pannikin of bush tea?
nyp.33433074876271	You do n't understand — ” “ What if I do?
nyp.33433074876271	You do n’t want to be knocked sideways by that there Claude Lafont, do you?
nyp.33433074876271	You know the sort he was 7 You wo n't knock me down again for mentioning it, will you?
nyp.33433074876271	You think not?
nyp.33433074876271	You would n't go back there now? ” “ I like my new friends best; I would n't go back on them.
nyp.33433074876271	You'd never let yourself be chucked out by a chap like that? ” “ That's my business.
nyp.33433074876271	You'll have hold of my sleeve? ” “ I ’ll do all that; at least, I ’ll do all I can.
nyp.33433074876271	You'll show me the ropes?
nyp.33433074876271	You'll tell me what not to do?
nyp.33433074876271	You've heard things of your father?
nyp.33433074876271	as you can see. ” “ Surely you like your new life best by this time?
nyp.33433074876271	but you was with me when that there gentleman found me, was n't you, Livingstone?
nyp.33433074876271	then where was he to be found?
nyp.33433074876271	you hesitate?
nyp.33433074876271	“ A dear fellow, is he not?
nyp.33433074876271	“ A tenant or what? ” “ Only a tenant, your Grace.
nyp.33433074876271	“ And what are the back- blocks; and what do you mean? ” for her puzzled look had lifted on a smile.
nyp.33433074876271	“ And where is Jack? ” THE BAR SINISTER 277 “ Not here, ” whispered Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	“ And you're the better man, are you?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Are there any revolvers in the house? ” said he.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Are they sure there was no more in it than that? ” P 210 My Lord Duke “ Maitland and Cripps?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Are they sure there was no more in it than that? ” P 210 My Lord Duke “ Maitland and Cripps?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Aurora Banishing Night, eh? ” he cried, with horizontal beard and upturned eyes.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Because — otherwise — you would never — have — spoken — ” “ Spoken?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Been?
nyp.33433074876271	“ But before that? ” “ I expected you.
nyp.33433074876271	“ But what on earth has he to consult them about? ” demanded the Home Secretary.
nyp.33433074876271	“ But what's that you're driv- ing at about the minstrel being bolder?
nyp.33433074876271	“ But why not? ” he added vehemently.
nyp.33433074876271	“ But why?
nyp.33433074876271	“ By the way, Jack, where do you keep your coronet? ” “ Where do I keep my coronet? ” asked the Duke of his major- domo.
nyp.33433074876271	“ By the way, Jack, where do you keep your coronet? ” “ Where do I keep my coronet? ” asked the Duke of his major- domo.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Could you do as good? ” Stubbs stared at the Duke, and drained his glass.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Did ever you see such grass as that, Jack?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Did you forget you'd left me downstairs? ” asked Claude.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Did you know it was the same man? ” said he, pushing back his chair.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Do you mean to say you're not convinced yet? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Do you mind if we ride into Devenholme instead of driving? ” “ Mind!
nyp.33433074876271	“ Does it really not occur to him that I might have found myself dead in the bush, and authenticated my own death by very obvious methods?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Ever heard of Maitland, Hollis, Cripps and Co.? ” inquired Hunt.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Forgotten?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Glad?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Hallo, sir! ” began Jack, “ I ’d given you up. ” “ Why, Jack, is that you?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Has it? ” said the squatter incredulously.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Have I no homestead on my own run? ” he inquired at length.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Have n't you? ” repeated Lady Caroline, sit- ting down herself.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Have you seen him? ” he cried, as they met.
nyp.33433074876271	“ His servant, I presume? ” “ No, ” said Cripps hoarsely.
nyp.33433074876271	“ How 2 By what I said?
nyp.33433074876271	“ How can you be glad? ” he continued to demand.
nyp.33433074876271	“ How did you know it was me? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074876271	“ How do you know he is n't a professional cat- stealer?
nyp.33433074876271	“ I did n't, ” was the reply; “ it was you, Jack. ” “ Of course it was me, ” cried the astonished Jack, “ and why not?
nyp.33433074876271	“ I hope it was a good lamb- ing this year, sir? ” “ Seventy- nine per cent, ” replied Dalrymple.
nyp.33433074876271	“ I sha n’t stay long. ” “ What the blazes do you mean? ” cried Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	“ I understand, sir, that you are fatally bitten with golf? ” began the squatter in his airiest manner.
nyp.33433074876271	“ I wonder ’ oo’e thinks’e is w'en'e's at'ome? ” said the lad.
nyp.33433074876271	“ I ’ll tell you, ” said he: “ it ’s that old girl and — what's the daughter's name again? ” “ Olivia. ” “ Olivia.
nyp.33433074876271	“ I ’m a better man than you are, whoever I am; at least we'll have a see'"“ Oh, will we? ” said the fellow.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Is this a joke or a trick? ” asked the girl, looking suspiciously on Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	“ It looks all right, eh?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Like cats, old man? ” he inquired of Claude.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Look here, ” said the Duke, “ what are you givin'us, old boy?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Lost everything? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Meaning you, of course. ” “ But I ’m not one. ” “ You ’re not?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Nearly there, are we?
nyp.33433074876271	“ No, ” she repeated; “ shall you like it? ” “ Ca n't say.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Nonsense, ” said the Duke; “ you're the younger man, at all events. ” “ Am I?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Papa, is that you? ” “ Yes, my dear. ” Mr. Sellwood had turned round.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Quits, you scum?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Several in London? ” cried the Duke, aghast again.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Shall I sweeten it? ” he then asked; and, at Claude's nod, threw in another handful of brown sugar.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Shall I tell you what I'd do with it if it were mine? ”- “ Yes, do, ” said Jack, smiling in advance.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Stebbings, what's this?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Still, I'm not sure you were right: if I had been the girl — ” “ Yes? ” The quick word altered the speech it had also interrupted.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Still, you'll tell me what to do?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Tea or coffee, Duke? ” said Lady Caroline, all smiling tolerance.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Tea?
nyp.33433074876271	“ The Duke 2''“ Yes — haven't you seen him this morning? ” “ No, indeed!
nyp.33433074876271	“ There was no bride, ” said Jack, “ and no wedding. ” “ Then why this bride's bouquet?
nyp.33433074876271	“ This is the man? ” whispered Claude, jeal- ously, to Mr. Cripps.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Those two things? ” said he.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Very kind of you to shout for me, ” he con- tinued as they filed into the refreshment room; “ but why the blazes do n't you call me Jack?
nyp.33433074876271	“ Was that your water- lilies? ” said she, but this was not the astonishing speech.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What are you givin'us? ” laughed Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What do you think of the place? ” “ I ca n't hardly say.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What good can he do in the Easter holidays?
nyp.33433074876271	“ What has he said to- night? ” continued the poet, less poetically.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What is that? ” she said.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What is the matter? ” cried Jack, rushing 223 224 MY LORD DUKE up with a very blank face.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What on earth have I done? ” cried the Duke, aghast.
nyp.33433074876271	“ What was that? ” she cried, tugging in- stinctively at her skirts.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Whatluggage have you? ” exclaimed Claude, with a sudden effort.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Where did you get this? ” he asked, dis- playing the crumpled envelope, which had also a hole through the middle.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Where in the world have you been? ” broke from him before them all.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Where is Claude? ” inquired Lady Caroline suddenly.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Which entrée, please, sir? ” said the waiter.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Whose room is this? ” asked Claude, though he knew so well.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Why go to town at all? ” said he.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Why in the world did n't you speak yester- day? ” was Olivia's extraordinary reply.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Why, you do n't ever mean — to tell me — that's you, old brusher? ” Claude smiled and coloured.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Will you kindly make it convenient to send me in to Devenholme in time for the next train? ” he said.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Yes, it's me; where have you been 2"280 MY LORD DUKE “ Where are you going? ” “ Mine first, ” said Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	“ Yes, those two, with my initials on each. ” “ No, but the two things that I shall need? ” “ Oh, those!
nyp.33433074876271	“ Yesterday? ” faltered Jack.
nyp.33433074876271	“ You will never pull it down? ” she said.
nyp.33433074876271	“ You would n't really prefer that life to this? ” 144 MY LORD DUKE “ No; perhaps not; but I like to think of it,.
nyp.33433074817127	About being a detective? nyp.33433074817127 All the shutters were closed last night, and fastened, as they are now?"
nyp.33433074817127	Alone?
nyp.33433074817127	And besides, how could Father open that creaky door without waking Mother?
nyp.33433074817127	And did n't hear any unusual sounds?
nyp.33433074817127	And do you suppose that I — we — might have a cup of coffee? nyp.33433074817127 And do you think that I would do anything to change that, anything to harm you?
nyp.33433074817127	And in all that time you have lived honor- ably and happily? nyp.33433074817127 And nothing else is missing?"
nyp.33433074817127	And she could n't possibly be temporarily broke and in trouble, ever?
nyp.33433074817127	And the key to this drawer?
nyp.33433074817127	And will you promise to stop the minute I tell you to?
nyp.33433074817127	And you hope to go on in the same way, as long as you are able to work, and you know that you will be taken care of in your old age?
nyp.33433074817127	And you made all Rose Hill think —"That she and I are in love? nyp.33433074817127 And you really saw him kiss her?"
nyp.33433074817127	And you still like horses?
nyp.33433074817127	And your jewels: they are of great value, as great as the others that were taken?
nyp.33433074817127	Any answer?
nyp.33433074817127	Any ideas?
nyp.33433074817127	Are they all there?
nyp.33433074817127	Are we to go on being robbed, regularly, once a year, forever?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you a detective?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you afraid to see me any more, Marjorie?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you ill, dearest?

nyp.33433074817127	Are you sure she did n't have anything to do with what happened last night?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you sure you did not put it there?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you sure you did not put the key in'The Amazing Mar- riage'?

nyp.33433074817127	Are you telling me the truth?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you?
nyp.33433074817127	As Mrs. Brown did n't take them, who did?
nyp.33433074817127	Because you have something else to do?
nyp.33433074817127	Because —?

nyp.33433074817127	But how on earth do you suppose a ghost could drug a dog? nyp.33433074817127 By the way, do you con- sider that your mother is vindicated at last?"
nyp.33433074817127	Ca n't anything be done about it?
nyp.33433074817127	Can I trust you, absolutely? nyp.33433074817127 Can a ghost close quietly a door that I can- not close without waking the dead?"
nyp.33433074817127	Can you be ready to take the one- thirty boat?
nyp.33433074817127	Can you doubt it? nyp.33433074817127 Did Mr. Brown tell you I kept it there?"
nyp.33433074817127	Did you find him — or her, or it?
nyp.33433074817127	Did you go to the Browns'?
nyp.33433074817127	Do 74 GHOSTS you know that this house was robbed that night and that you've been suspected ever since of do- ing it?
nyp.33433074817127	Do n't those men usually begin in a small way, getting in deeper and deeper till finally the crash comes?
nyp.33433074817127	Do something for you? nyp.33433074817127 Do you believe in God?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you believe that a ghost stole Mrs. Brown's jewels?
nyp.33433074817127	Do you like driving automobiles as much as driving horses?
nyp.33433074817127	Do you mean that somebody we know and who has always been sup- posed to be the soul of honor has suddenly turned thief?
nyp.33433074817127	Do you mind if I smoke, Mrs. Thurston — a pipe?
nyp.33433074817127	Do you realize that I do n't know a soul here but Mrs. Neale, Martha, the waitress at the hotel, and you? nyp.33433074817127 Do you really think he'll find out anything about it?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you remember how, in school, you were given arithmetic problems to work out? nyp.33433074817127 Do you remember the date?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you remember the time I nearly saved you from drowning?
nyp.33433074817127	Do you think I ought to?
nyp.33433074817127	Does that mean that you have something on your conscience?
nyp.33433074817127	Duncan, would you go and ask — let me see — er — would you mind going over to — will you please get out of here a minute? nyp.33433074817127 Everything is as it was found this morning?"
nyp.33433074817127	Fishing for ghosts?
nyp.33433074817127	Five gallons of gas?
nyp.33433074817127	For good?
nyp.33433074817127	Has Duncan — said — said — anything to you — about me?
nyp.33433074817127	Has he money?
nyp.33433074817127	Has she gone, for good?
nyp.33433074817127	Has that possibility just occurred to you?
nyp.33433074817127	Have n't you any ideas at all?
nyp.33433074817127	Have you ever yet seen a ghost caught?
nyp.33433074817127	He's a friend of yours, is n't he?
nyp.33433074817127	Homely as a hedge fence, big as a house, clothes do n't fit him, hands and feet like a setter pup's?
nyp.33433074817127	Honestly, did you find them in a pail under the pier?
nyp.33433074817127	How are you going to prove it?
nyp.33433074817127	How could you find a valuable gift in Rose Hill?
nyp.33433074817127	How did you recognize us?
nyp.33433074817127	How long were you here?
nyp.33433074817127	How old is Mary?
nyp.33433074817127	How should he know? nyp.33433074817127 How would I know anything about it, except what I told, which was nothing?"
nyp.33433074817127	I suppose you have no theory as to how the thing was done?
nyp.33433074817127	I wonder what Sandy'd do if she really went into the water?
nyp.33433074817127	I'm glad I did, are n't you?
nyp.33433074817127	If I go will you tell me —?
nyp.33433074817127	If that's so, it is interesting, is n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	If we pay up will you let us go?
nyp.33433074817127	In what way do you think he is wonderful?
nyp.33433074817127	Is Mary well to- day?
nyp.33433074817127	Is it detective work?
nyp.33433074817127	Is it here?
nyp.33433074817127	Is n't it a beaut?
nyp.33433074817127	Is n't it likely to be a fine afternoon for a sail?
nyp.33433074817127	Is n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	Is n't the pier safer?
nyp.33433074817127	Is she going with them?
nyp.33433074817127	Is that a promise?
nyp.33433074817127	Just from what I told you?
nyp.33433074817127	Look here, whose girl do you think that is?
nyp.33433074817127	May I have a glass of water?
nyp.33433074817127	May I stay a few minutes, notwithstand- ing?
nyp.33433074817127	Me, sir?
nyp.33433074817127	Mrs. Brown? nyp.33433074817127 Nice people, the Browns?"
nyp.33433074817127	Now, what do you think of that,said Mrs. Brown,"from my own daughter?"
nyp.33433074817127	Of course he did, everybody knows that, but when will he tell us about the rest of it?
nyp.33433074817127	Of course not, but why wo n't you?
nyp.33433074817127	On the other hand, how could he — certainly no skilled thief — enter the room between mid- night and daybreak? nyp.33433074817127 Perhaps you brought it with you?"
nyp.33433074817127	Relatives of John Bowers, are n't they? nyp.33433074817127 Samuel Lyle?"
nyp.33433074817127	Shall I see you again?
nyp.33433074817127	She's lying, is n't she?
nyp.33433074817127	So somebody really got into the room and out again, taking the jewels with him, just as Duncan has described it to me?
nyp.33433074817127	So you're a woman- hater, are you?
nyp.33433074817127	So you've come back, have you?
nyp.33433074817127	So, it's a game, is it?
nyp.33433074817127	Some boat, is n't she?
nyp.33433074817127	Suppose it does n't: the truth is bound to get out,said Georgiana;"and then where will the family reputation be?"
nyp.33433074817127	Suppose we let him stay where he is: then what hap- pens?
nyp.33433074817127	Suppose,he said,"you suddenly discovered that you loved me: what then?
nyp.33433074817127	That's it, is it? nyp.33433074817127 That's so — they have n't; have they?
nyp.33433074817127	Then how did you know?
nyp.33433074817127	Then how — how —?
nyp.33433074817127	Then perhaps you'd like to go over to Old- port with Mrs. Thurston and me this after- noon?
nyp.33433074817127	To no one but one other person, whom you know you can trust?
nyp.33433074817127	To- morrow at four?
nyp.33433074817127	Was he tied last night?
nyp.33433074817127	We do n't seem to be getting any nearer to the ghost, do we?
nyp.33433074817127	Well enough to be left with her nurse while her mother goes sailing with Mrs. Marsh and your very humble servant?
nyp.33433074817127	Well, how was I to know? nyp.33433074817127 Well, my dear, have you had a pleasant after- noon?"
nyp.33433074817127	Were you on the case last year?
nyp.33433074817127	Were you?
nyp.33433074817127	What affectionate daughter would n't have, in the circumstances? nyp.33433074817127 What did we get?"
nyp.33433074817127	What difference does it make? nyp.33433074817127 What do you make of it, Jerry?"
nyp.33433074817127	What happened to Jerry Doyle?
nyp.33433074817127	What is his name?
nyp.33433074817127	What is it?
nyp.33433074817127	What time did you discover the robbery?
nyp.33433074817127	What time did you got to bed?
nyp.33433074817127	What was she doing here, then?
nyp.33433074817127	What'11 I do with her?
nyp.33433074817127	What's he doing?
nyp.33433074817127	What's to be done about it?
nyp.33433074817127	What?
nyp.33433074817127	When?
nyp.33433074817127	Where did that man come from? nyp.33433074817127 Where did you find it?"
nyp.33433074817127	Where do you suppose they are going?
nyp.33433074817127	Where is he now?
nyp.33433074817127	Where is she now?
nyp.33433074817127	Where yer takin'me?
nyp.33433074817127	Where's Mr. Schwartz to- day?
nyp.33433074817127	Where've you been?
nyp.33433074817127	Who are'we'?
nyp.33433074817127	Who did it?
nyp.33433074817127	Who did take them? nyp.33433074817127 Who is there to do anything?
nyp.33433074817127	Who?
nyp.33433074817127	Why did n't you tell me that first day on the float that Mrs. Marsh was your sister?
nyp.33433074817127	Why did n't you tell me?
nyp.33433074817127	Why did you?
nyp.33433074817127	Why do n't you come along and entertain Mary so that I can read?
nyp.33433074817127	Why do you ask me to discuss something that can never happen?
nyp.33433074817127	Why do you ever explode them? nyp.33433074817127 Why does n't somebody do some- thing?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why not tell them what you've told me? nyp.33433074817127 Why not?
nyp.33433074817127	Why on earth did he come here? nyp.33433074817127 Why pick on the poor choreman, who un- doubtedly has a wife and eight children and re- grets his past deeds and is trying to live an honorable life?
nyp.33433074817127	Why were you about here, at night, and on such a night?
nyp.33433074817127	Why — why — do n't you know?
nyp.33433074817127	Why?
nyp.33433074817127	Will you go to- morrow afternoon?
nyp.33433074817127	Will you stay and have supper with us?
nyp.33433074817127	Wo n't Mrs. Marsh go with you?
nyp.33433074817127	Wo n't you accept the necklace?
nyp.33433074817127	Would you have me ex- plode my own theory into fragments by putting it to the test then and there? nyp.33433074817127 Would you like to do something for me?"
nyp.33433074817127	Ye'll be here the rest of the summer?
nyp.33433074817127	Ye'll tell me if anything happens, Tom?
nyp.33433074817127	You do not believe in ghosts at all, ever?
nyp.33433074817127	You have never said a word of it to a soul, have you?
nyp.33433074817127	You know Mrs. Marsh very well, do n't you?
nyp.33433074817127	You know him well, of course?
nyp.33433074817127	You made up the story you told me, out of whole cloth, did n't you?
nyp.33433074817127	You mean that your theory is an opium dream?
nyp.33433074817127	You never suspected any one at all?
nyp.33433074817127	You say Mrs. Thurston brought him?
nyp.33433074817127	You slept well last night?
nyp.33433074817127	You were n't here longer than that?
nyp.33433074817127	You were very sure, then, that your sus- picion was entirely groundless?
nyp.33433074817127	You wo n't say anything about this to any one, will you, Thomas? nyp.33433074817127 You're a lawyer then, sir?
nyp.33433074817127	You're quite sure that you're game for a little adventure?
nyp.33433074817127	'It seems ages ago, does n't it?"
nyp.33433074817127	148 GHOSTS"You know — you know about that, sir?"
nyp.33433074817127	16 GHOSTS"Were you in the war, in France?"
nyp.33433074817127	162 GHOSTS"Then who was it?"
nyp.33433074817127	206 GHOSTS"Did n't that woman have something to do with it?"
nyp.33433074817127	230 GHOSTS"What did she say?"
nyp.33433074817127	64 GHOSTS"Did he?
nyp.33433074817127	And besides, what can any- body do?
nyp.33433074817127	And by the way, what's your guess about Sarah Loney?"
nyp.33433074817127	And could she close the door between the two rooms so firmly that Mr. Brown found it too dif- ficult for him to open?
nyp.33433074817127	And if so, who were they?
nyp.33433074817127	And then to Georgiana,"Is your conscience clear, this time, as always?"
nyp.33433074817127	And what reason could he have, I'd like to know?"
nyp.33433074817127	And who else is there in Rose Hill for them to play with?"
nyp.33433074817127	And why should he be able to exert such a strong influence over her?
nyp.33433074817127	And you do n't know what has hap- pened to him since that day, the day he went away?"
nyp.33433074817127	Are we to be robbed every summer and no one ever caught?"
nyp.33433074817127	Are you afraid to give me my chance to make you love me?
nyp.33433074817127	Are you not sure that I would do everything that I can do to help you, to make you happier than you are now?"
nyp.33433074817127	Besides, how could they have entered the- room?
nyp.33433074817127	Brown's?"
nyp.33433074817127	Can you find a flaw in my logic?"
nyp.33433074817127	Can you imagine a more ungentlemanly thing, a more in- delicate thing for a man to do than to offer a lady gifts of value the first day he knows her?"
nyp.33433074817127	Could he bring love to her by logic or by dwelling on the practical, ma- terial point of view?
nyp.33433074817127	Did any one hear the dog bark?"
nyp.33433074817127	Did he have friends there and if he did, had they been his accomplices?
nyp.33433074817127	Did n't Wilkie Collins write a story about some such phenomenon?"
nyp.33433074817127	Did you hear your mother trying to break up our friendly chat?
nyp.33433074817127	Do n't you know how different a room is when there is love in it, love between a man and a woman, from what it is when you are alone?
nyp.33433074817127	Do n't you know what was stolen the night that you were here be- fore?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do n't you think Sammy fixed up that second burglary to show that it could be done?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you believe that it is right to ask me to promise, now, something GHOSTS 223 that will bind me all my life?
nyp.33433074817127	Do you drive a car yourself, sir?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you know him?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you know the Browns?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you like detective stories?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you mean that it is not fair for me to try to make you love me?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you remember when your lady mother called it a'beaut'the first day I knew her?"
nyp.33433074817127	Do you see how any one could help lov- ing me?"
nyp.33433074817127	Does n't it even bring vindication to Mrs. 208'GHOSTS Brown, at last, and save Miss Brown the humilia- tion of having a fond parent in jail?"
nyp.33433074817127	Duncan spoke to Mary:"Did you hear that, Mary?
nyp.33433074817127	GHOSTS 163"Are you going to read Sammy Lyle's book?"
nyp.33433074817127	GHOSTS 171 whom we have loved in this world, and who have gone before?"
nyp.33433074817127	GHOSTS 83 sort of girl?
nyp.33433074817127	Good heavens, about what?"
nyp.33433074817127	Had it all been perfectly managed by Mrs. Marsh and Duncan, with deep guile, or had it all been perfectly natural?
nyp.33433074817127	Had n't you — did n't you ever think — about Mary — before this afternoon?"
nyp.33433074817127	Had she demanded his time and had she some power of enforcing her demands?
nyp.33433074817127	Had she demanded that, too?
nyp.33433074817127	Had she gone to his house and stayed there for hours against his wish or — but the kiss?
nyp.33433074817127	Happy?"
nyp.33433074817127	Has a search been made for wet clothes, or shoes?"
nyp.33433074817127	Has it ever occurred to you that your father might have hated jewelry all his life?
nyp.33433074817127	Has n't it made you understand that you and I must work out our future together?
nyp.33433074817127	Have I been horrid before?"
nyp.33433074817127	Have you a bit of rope, Thomas?"
nyp.33433074817127	Have you ever seen the tackle that is used for ghost- fishing?"
nyp.33433074817127	Have you ever thought of what your life will be when Mary loaves you, when old age comes and you are alone?
nyp.33433074817127	He did go there and rob, so the question was, why did he choose that particular house?
nyp.33433074817127	He has n't any- thing to do with the Brown business, has he?"
nyp.33433074817127	He's not a detective, is he?"
nyp.33433074817127	How about the kiss that Duncan had given her?
nyp.33433074817127	How can I explain Rose Hill's mental processes?"
nyp.33433074817127	How can he hope, or be expected, to do so over the whole world's waters?
nyp.33433074817127	How will you have your tea?
nyp.33433074817127	I got a letter from —""I think you're horrid to —""To get a letter or to call on Mrs. Brown?
nyp.33433074817127	I presume that you put it in the'Egoist'as usual?"
nyp.33433074817127	If a thief stole them he did it for their money value; why should he go off and leave them?
nyp.33433074817127	If all that is so, does n't it explain every- thing?
nyp.33433074817127	If he had no friends or accom- plices, did he go there simply as a result of the power of suggestion?
nyp.33433074817127	If you were n't such a shy, modest young woman you'd confess having loved me at first sight, would n't you?
nyp.33433074817127	Is it not true that your knowing that has brought us face to face with our two lives?
nyp.33433074817127	Is it settled?"
nyp.33433074817127	Is n't it fair? — one day a week, and such a very small part of that day?
nyp.33433074817127	Is n't it fair? — one day a week, and such a very small part of that day?
nyp.33433074817127	Is that what you were going to say?
nyp.33433074817127	It rained hard all night, she must have gone through wet grass, but did any one find any wet garments the next morning, or wet or muddy shoes?
nyp.33433074817127	It seems impossible — does n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	It was a very cur- ious case, was n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	Lyle?"
nyp.33433074817127	Marjorie thought — but what did Marjorie think?
nyp.33433074817127	Marsh?"
nyp.33433074817127	Mr. Lyle did not wait for Thomas's answer, but spoke to him again:"You have been with Mr. Brown over thirty- five years, you say, Thomas?"
nyp.33433074817127	Nice business that, for a married woman, was n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	Now do n't you think that —?"
nyp.33433074817127	On the other hand, who puts wood in the bedroom fireplaces?
nyp.33433074817127	Pre- sumptuous — or a prophet — is n't he?"
nyp.33433074817127	Shall we sit out here or shall we go inside?"
nyp.33433074817127	She ought to know that you are, do n't you think?"
nyp.33433074817127	Simple, is n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	So the only trouble is — how did he manage the shutter fas- tenings?
nyp.33433074817127	That is, did he know that there were valuables there and did those valu- ables prey on his mind?
nyp.33433074817127	That's the question you wanted me to answer yesterday, was n't it?
nyp.33433074817127	The lines are parallel to that point; is it not a perfectly log- ical deduction that they will stay parallel to the end?"
nyp.33433074817127	The man was watching them and even before Duncan was sure that it was his friend the man called:"Coming ashore for me, Duncan?"
nyp.33433074817127	Therefore what connection could Katie have with the robbery?
nyp.33433074817127	Therefore what manner of woman was Esther Marsh?
nyp.33433074817127	Therefore, who did?"
nyp.33433074817127	Was he here when the Brown house was entered and robbed?"
nyp.33433074817127	Was he here?"
nyp.33433074817127	Was it fair and hon- orable to her?
nyp.33433074817127	Was it not too soon for him to attempt to win her love?
nyp.33433074817127	Was it right for him to treat Marjorie as he was treating her?
nyp.33433074817127	Was she forcing herself on Duncan?
nyp.33433074817127	We have n't been to Oldport for a long time; shall we drive over?"
nyp.33433074817127	We seem to come baqk to where we started, every time; do n't we?"
nyp.33433074817127	What can I do for you in return for the great sacrifice you've made for me?"
nyp.33433074817127	What can be done?"
nyp.33433074817127	What did he mean?
nyp.33433074817127	What did — Did he kiss me?
nyp.33433074817127	What do you think of that, Mary, do you think that's pos- sible?
nyp.33433074817127	What is he?
nyp.33433074817127	What use could words be, what would it avail him to attempt a cold- blooded analysis of her position?
nyp.33433074817127	What was it?"
nyp.33433074817127	What would he do?
nyp.33433074817127	What would he say?
nyp.33433074817127	What's that?
nyp.33433074817127	What's your idea of it, Thomas?"
nyp.33433074817127	When Duncan and Marjorie were on their path, Duncan said,"An hour on the rocks to- night?"
nyp.33433074817127	When you come to Alden to live I expect you to be good to me, very good to me; do you understand?"
nyp.33433074817127	Where did you find it?"
nyp.33433074817127	Where do ghosts get drugs?"
nyp.33433074817127	Where have you been?"
nyp.33433074817127	Who is he?"
nyp.33433074817127	Who is he?"
nyp.33433074817127	Who sent him?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why did n't you come straight to me with that lard pail instead of telling the police about it first?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why do n't you go down and see if it is there?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why had Mr. Lyle spoken to her so?
nyp.33433074817127	Why have you and Mrs. Marsh made Rose Hill get all excited?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why not go on forever believing that you have the solution of the mystery?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why should I, when a lot of high- class detectives could n't find out anything?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why should he, a man who had known her for so short a time, be so interested in her?
nyp.33433074817127	Why should the robbers come ashore in a rowboat when they could have brought the launch itself to the float by the pier?
nyp.33433074817127	Why, I should like to know, should I do anything for you?"
nyp.33433074817127	Why?"
nyp.33433074817127	Will he blame it on the ghost, do you think?
nyp.33433074817127	Will the memories that you cherish and that you say now are sufficient last as long as that?
nyp.33433074817127	Will you excuse me a moment?
nyp.33433074817127	Will you go?"
nyp.33433074817127	Will you tell me so without my asking you?
nyp.33433074817127	Wo n't you come and see Mother?"
nyp.33433074817127	You do love me, do n't you?
nyp.33433074817127	You or I or any one can think of reasons why it might have been put there in the first place, but why had n't the gentleman come back for it?
nyp.33433074817127	You wo n't be cold?"
nyp.33433074817127	You wo n't tell any one that I've fas- tened the crime on Mrs. Brown, will you?
nyp.33433074817127	You wo n't tell them what I've told you, will you?"
nyp.33433074817127	You would n't spoil this, would you?"
nyp.33433074817127	You'll both have tea, of course?"
nyp.33433074817127	are you sure o'that?"
nyp.33433074817127	asked Mr. Lyle,"or is it an old theory?"
nyp.33433074817127	what are we coming to?"
nyp.33433074817127	what did I tell you?"
nyp.33433074817127	— Mrs. Brown?
nyp.33433074817127	— a butcher or a baker or something?"
nyp.33433074817127	— that is, about your having told me? »"I will not, sir.
nyp.33433074817127	— the one you've been itching to ask and have been a little afraid to?
nyp.33433074817127	— you've done your work well, served your master faithfully, and have been well treated?"
nyp.33433074811559	* A RED- HOT NIGHT 7 And thinking of it again brought to his mind the warm youth of the girl in the next room — a war bride?
nyp.33433074811559	- So you've been doing exactly what I have, simply holding your tongue, sitting still and waiting for orders, eh?
nyp.33433074811559	- “ I am to consider myself dismissed then? ” Parker asked dryly.
nyp.33433074811559	234 THE MORETON MYSTERY “ You, Driscoll?
nyp.33433074811559	236 THE MORETON MYSTERY “ Do you think that's wise? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433074811559	74 THE MORETON MYSTERY “ Mathew Moreton's death. ” “ Have you?
nyp.33433074811559	A Christmas wedding?
nyp.33433074811559	A bottle of hydrocy- anic acid, or any other poison? ” Mrs. Moreton looked at him with widened eyes.
nyp.33433074811559	A bridal pair?
nyp.33433074811559	A girl who had come to meet her lieutenant husband?
nyp.33433074811559	And Mrs. Moreton would be comforted by it, too. ” “ These under- things, sir — how about them? ” Burke asked with even greater reserve.
nyp.33433074811559	And am I invited? ” “ My dear Mrs. von Betler! ” Levene protested.
nyp.33433074811559	And may I ask, sir — is it true there's a detective in the'ouse?
nyp.33433074811559	And now I'll tell you some- thing: you remember Aunt Lilian was questioned about there being poison in the house?
nyp.33433074811559	And why in such haste?
nyp.33433074811559	But now, is there nothing Mr. Parker can do, sir?
nyp.33433074811559	But there was one more question he must ask: “ You say Levene met you at the station — at eleven o'clock? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074811559	But was he prepared to rid himself of the knowledge Parker was certain he possessed?
nyp.33433074811559	But what has come over him —? ” Both Parker and Driscoll caught Levene's grave answer.
nyp.33433074811559	But why do you ask? ” Parker said gravely.
nyp.33433074811559	Did n't you notice his expression?
nyp.33433074811559	Did some one use his name? ” “ No, he telephoned.
nyp.33433074811559	Do you know where he is? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	Do you mean that, as a physician, you saw cause for alarm in Mr. Moreton ’s manner? ” Levene flushed.
nyp.33433074811559	Driscoll Moreton? ” “ Here, ” Driscoll answered.
nyp.33433074811559	Driscoll, sir — is it true Mr. Moreton has left everything to Miss Allen, sir? ” Driscoll glared at him.
nyp.33433074811559	Had she been trying to gain access to the study?
nyp.33433074811559	Have n't you heard of Madame Steinall's Cocotte Wave?
nyp.33433074811559	Have you examined it? ’ “ ‘ When we were in the study, not since,'I told him.
nyp.33433074811559	He had slept little; who had slept other than fitfully during that interminable night?
nyp.33433074811559	He had the courage for it?
nyp.33433074811559	He made a good examination — between us we made it thorough, I can tell you. ” “ And the result? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	He wondered, among other things, whether Nixola Allen would tell Moreton that his lawyer had been their neighbor, that night at the hotel?
nyp.33433074811559	He's been haunting you, I dare say, and you took to the lake — eh, Nixie? ” “ He went for a walk, ” she answered non- commit- tally.
nyp.33433074811559	His usual self? ” “ No, sir — he was angry. ” “ Angry with you? ” “ Oh, no, sir! ” And Katie suddenly found her Irish tongue.
nyp.33433074811559	His usual self? ” “ No, sir — he was angry. ” “ Angry with you? ” “ Oh, no, sir! ” And Katie suddenly found her Irish tongue.
nyp.33433074811559	Holt was a good chauffeur, sir. ” “ But hot- tempered? ” “ He is young, sir — that's all I meant to say, ” Burke protested.
nyp.33433074811559	Horgan? ” the coroner said.
nyp.33433074811559	I 240 THE MORETON MYSTERY are you going to see Mr. Parker? ” She was all tense energy, vivid and determined.
nyp.33433074811559	I certainly do n't want that matter to go any further, but I do n't See what else I was to do, Mr. Parker?
nyp.33433074811559	I do n't know. ” “ What do you know about that chauffeur? ” Parker asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074811559	I heard him tell Mr. Moreton once that he had an uncle in Chicago named Holt. ” “ Where was he born?
nyp.33433074811559	I think we had better be going, do n't you? ” And he led the way toward the elevator.
nyp.33433074811559	I wonder how the coroner will find — with a material witness decamped after that fashion? ” Parker offered no opinion.
nyp.33433074811559	I ’ve told you I could make a jury see double. ” “ You ’ll stand by Nixie then, Parker? ” Driscoll asked eagerly.
nyp.33433074811559	If there are suspicious circumstances, you would want them cleared up? ” 80 THE MORETON MYSTERY Parker had been thinking steadily.
nyp.33433074811559	Jowett, do you —? ” “ There is a coroner at Ford's Landing, and he must be the nearest, ” Doctor Levene interrupted.
nyp.33433074811559	Jowett?"
nyp.33433074811559	Lilian's all right again, I suppose? ” “ Yes, it was just a nervous attack. ” “ Who else? ” “ The Von Betlers and Mrs. Insmann.
nyp.33433074811559	Lilian's all right again, I suppose? ” “ Yes, it was just a nervous attack. ” “ Who else? ” “ The Von Betlers and Mrs. Insmann.
nyp.33433074811559	Miss Allen, how long were you away? ” SEMICIRCLE PUTS OVER A FARCE 151 “ I do n't know how long, ” Nixie answered.
nyp.33433074811559	Miss Allen, will you see that matters are attended to up there? ” He raised his voice slightly.
nyp.33433074811559	Moreton is better then, Burke? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	Mr. Parker, will you suggest what we shall do next?
nyp.33433074811559	Mrs. von Betler asked, “ When are you two people going to announce what everybody knows?
nyp.33433074811559	My dear, I hope I have n't delayed your dinner? ” To one who did not know Mathew Moreton, the speech would appear merely an American brusquerie.
nyp.33433074811559	Nixie did not ask, “ How can we avoid it? ” She said none of the things Parker thought it would be natural for her to say.
nyp.33433074811559	Nixie said he had been arrested this morning, but he telephoned twice to- day, to my apart- ment?
nyp.33433074811559	Plenty of business competi- tors, but not enemies. ” “ And no entanglements that might make some woman his enemy? ” “ Not to my knowledge.
nyp.33433074811559	Possibly Nixie herself meditating flight?
nyp.33433074811559	Quite insane for the moment?
nyp.33433074811559	Repeat — didn't get that last?
nyp.33433074811559	ResEartch Libraries||||||*- º-------------- º “ What's wrong with your hand? ” Jowett asked quickly.
nyp.33433074811559	Shall I put this suit in the bag, sir? ” “ Yes, please, Burke.
nyp.33433074811559	Shall I put your things to rights, sir?
nyp.33433074811559	She can do exactly what she said — simply ruin you! ” “ What would you advise me to do? ” Nixie asked quietly.
nyp.33433074811559	She was very devoted to Mr. More- ton, was n't she? ”- “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074811559	She's just acquired Mrs. Grass- mere, by the way. ” “ Elfreda has n’t mentioned her. ” “ No?
nyp.33433074811559	So Parker ventured the question, “ What sort was Holt, Burke?
nyp.33433074811559	That some one forced it on him? ” “ I ’m not prepared to say that your uncle did not take his own life, ” Parker returned.
nyp.33433074811559	Then Parker asked Jowett, “ Where is Driscoll? ” “ He went to his room, Mr. Parker.
nyp.33433074811559	Then he asked abruptly, “ What's the coroner's name? ” “ Henry — William Henry. ” Jowett whistled softly.
nyp.33433074811559	Then he asked briefly, “ Please ex- plain? ” “ I must go back a little to do so, ” Mrs. Moreton answered clearly.
nyp.33433074811559	Then he asked, “ Well, Jowett? ” The man started and turned.
nyp.33433074811559	Then he called up again, this evening. ” “ What did he want that time? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	Then, in the silence that fol- lowed, a man's excited voice demanded, “ What's hap- pened?
nyp.33433074811559	Then, “ Was it Le- vene's talk that suggested the idea? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074811559	They had gone then?
nyp.33433074811559	To whom does it belong? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074811559	Was there any one in that house who was not suspicious of his neighbor — suspicious and watchful?
nyp.33433074811559	We think the same, Parker, that Uncle Mathew never took that dose of his own free will?
nyp.33433074811559	We ’ll shoulder muskets and make for the front, eh, Burke?'
nyp.33433074811559	We ’ll shoulder muskets and make for the front, eh, Burke?'
nyp.33433074811559	What do you mean when you say he may be drawn into future complications?
nyp.33433074811559	What has happened? ” Parker de- manded.
nyp.33433074811559	What in hea Ven's name made Moreton do this mad thing! ” “ Are you asking my opinion? ” Jow flash of the eye.
nyp.33433074811559	What is it troubles Katie, Burke? ” “ She has n't told me, sir, so I do n't know, ” Burke answered with an instant return to caution.
nyp.33433074811559	What makes you think that? ” “ He looks the type, does n't he? ” “ Yes — I suppose he does — ” Driscoll conceded in a troubled way.
nyp.33433074811559	What makes you think that? ” “ He looks the type, does n't he? ” “ Yes — I suppose he does — ” Driscoll conceded in a troubled way.
nyp.33433074811559	What was Nixola Allen, anyway?
nyp.33433074811559	What was going on beneath, those childish curls of hers?
nyp.33433074811559	What was she anyway?
nyp.33433074811559	What's happened?
nyp.33433074811559	What's the matter with him? ” “ I do n't know — ” she answered, panting.
nyp.33433074811559	When Driscoll concluded, Parker remarked in an expressive way: 248 THE MORETON MYSTERY “ Oh, did he?
nyp.33433074811559	When I saw it, I thought, ‘ What's Uncle Mathew got that stuff about for?"
nyp.33433074811559	Where did Nixie go? ” “ To her room, I think, sir.
nyp.33433074811559	Where is he?
nyp.33433074811559	Who was she, and from whence had she come?
nyp.33433074811559	Whose is it, Uncle Mathew — yours or Aunt Lilian's?
nyp.33433074811559	Why, do you need money? ” Her tear- rimmed eyes brightened.
nyp.33433074811559	Will you 4 154 THE MORETON MYSTERY first of all tell us how you so fortunately came to be here? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074811559	Will you call our attention to any such points? ” Parker's voice was mild and scrupulously polite.
nyp.33433074811559	Will you wait here, sir? ” “ Yes, yes, ” Parker said impatiently.
nyp.33433074811559	Wo n't you come down to the lake with me?
nyp.33433074811559	Wo n't you go to your room now and try to rest? ” He spoke with great gentleness and he had come close to her.
nyp.33433074811559	You followed the Powell case, then, Driscoll? ” “ I was one of the reporters at the trial, ” Driscoll answered uncomfortably.
nyp.33433074811559	You go in and find out. ” “ You think the Secret Service is on to it? ” Driscoll asked quickly.
nyp.33433074811559	You know a deal about sporting events; Holt's the pugilist type — have you ever seen him in the ring? ” “ No, I ’d remember him, if I had.
nyp.33433074811559	You remember the Powell case?
nyp.33433074811559	You remember when you came to the garage looking for Miss Allen, just before the inquest?
nyp.33433074811559	You surely received an impression of some sort, Burke? ” Burke's even delivery did not vary.
nyp.33433074811559	You think then that the Secret Service may take a hand in this? ” “ I do n't know a thing more about it than you do, Driscoll.
nyp.33433074811559	You want the run of the house — you can take my room to- night, if you want to?
nyp.33433074811559	You'll prowl about for the remainder of the night, I suppose? ” “ I ’ll not do much sleeping. ” “ Then will you wake me at daylight?
nyp.33433074811559	You'll prowl about for the remainder of the night, I suppose? ” “ I ’ll not do much sleeping. ” “ Then will you wake me at daylight?
nyp.33433074811559	Yourself, Driscoll? ” “ My God, no! ” Driscoll said with passionate em- 176 THE MORETON MYSTERY phasis.
nyp.33433074811559	a 164 THE MORETON MYSTERY “ She would n't take to him, surely?
nyp.33433074811559	and he laughed in his throat, like. ” “ And you, Burke — what did you say? ” Parker asked gravely.
nyp.33433074811559	and the next moment the butler ran out to us. ” “ After Mr. and Mrs. von Betler retired, who were with you on the veranda? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074811559	conviction, Mr. Parker — a very decided convict “ About what? ” rett said with a awyer yet who ded on mere “ o hear it! ” I have a- jy 1O11.
nyp.33433074811559	– 97 4 THE BUTLER TAKES A HAND 99 “ You ’ve been some time with Mr. Moreton, then? ” “ Ten years, sir — come this autumn.
nyp.33433074811559	“ An unexpected denouement certainly — how do you explain it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ And did Miss Allen love your uncle? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ And how about yourself? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ And you did n't advise its being done? ” Jowett said with a note of genuine surprise.
nyp.33433074811559	“ And you think he's mad over Nixie, of course? ” “ It certainly looks that way to me. ” Driscoll cursed through his teeth.
nyp.33433074811559	“ And your sprained wrist, Mr. Moreton? ” “ I hurt it when I fell, I suppose, ” Driscoll answered thickly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Another case of pity, you think? ” Driscoll de- manded jealously.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Are n't you alone? ” “ I ’m not certain, ” Parker said rather grimly, “ but I'll see whether we can have a room to ourselves for a time.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Are you going to do what I’M DONE 259 I've told you? ” If he was simulating anger he did it well, no actor could have done better.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Bound for the city too? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Burke's a safe sort, Driscoll, loyal and close- mouthed? ” “ Old Burke?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Burke's a safe sort, Driscoll, loyal and close- mouthed? ” “ Old Burke?
nyp.33433074811559	“ But such was your impression? ” the coroner per- sisted.
nyp.33433074811559	“ But there's one more question: who is Harry Holt, Miss Allen?
nyp.33433074811559	“ But what brought you out here, Jowett? ” Jowett plunged his hands back into his pockets.
nyp.33433074811559	“ But you do not know who? ” She was silent.
nyp.33433074811559	“ But you'll not stir muddy water, Parker?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Ca n't you be sensible? ” she said.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Can he stop her? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Come down- stairs — it's Mr. Moreton —! ” “ Something has happened to him? ” She was breathlessly urging him to the stairs.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Count, you have something to say? ” Gansingen ’s fine voice rang out.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Did Mr. Moreton make you an executor? ” she asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Did you notice what di- rection Miss Allen took, Burke?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Did you see him again, before he left? ” “ No. ” She had suddenly regained firmness.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Did you see which way she went? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Do you think you have treated me fairly? ” Parker continued.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Do you want to make a present of it to some one — or run away with it yourself? ” he asked smilingly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Do you, Jowett? ” he said, quite as boyishly as Driscoll might have said it.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Doctor, will you call the coroner?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Does the will have to be read so soon? ” “ Immediately after the funeral, Miss Nixie.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Driscoll? ” she said softly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Getting a little exercise before dinner, were you, baby?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Has any one telephoned or called to see me? ” he asked unsmilingly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Have you just been taken on? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Have you seen Mr. Jowett?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Have you seen Mr. Jowett? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Have you taken Mr. Driscoll his breakfast yet, Burke? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074811559	“ He had an enemy then, Miss Nixie? ” “ He must have had, ” she said in the same hard way.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How about Jowett? ” “ You ’re not serious, Parker? ” “ Why not? ” Parker demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How about Jowett? ” “ You ’re not serious, Parker? ” “ Why not? ” Parker demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How about Jowett? ” “ You ’re not serious, Parker? ” “ Why not? ” Parker demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How are you? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How did he seem?
nyp.33433074811559	“ How did you do that? ” Jowett asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How did you get here so soon? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How is he? ” she asked before Parker could speak.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How long did you and the chauffeur stand there talking? ” the juror persisted.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How long were you in the passage below? ” the coroner asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ How should there be?
nyp.33433074811559	“ I could have said all this at the inquest, but to what purpose?
nyp.33433074811559	“ I grasp your ‘ reason. ’ ” “ Why I decline to back Madame Steinall? ” More- ton squared his shoulders.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I have here a communica- tion from Harry Holt, the chauffeur — is there any one here who knows Harry Holt's writing? ” There was silence.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I judge you're going to carry all this to the right quar- ter? ” “ I am.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I know I looked at my watch immediately after I ran up to this room and it was just half past eleven. ” “ And you heard no sounds?
nyp.33433074811559	“ I must ask you again to describe Mr. Moreton's manner? ” the coroner said with a touch of asperity.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I stir muddy water?
nyp.33433074811559	“ I suppose you drew this new will? ” Parker sensed her instant antagonism.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I want Miss Allen; where's she gone? ” Driscoll demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I will, Mr. Parker: I ’m convinced that this was no suicide. ” “ You think it was an accident? ” Jowett's patience suddenly forsook him.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I ’ll leave if you like? ” Parker suggested.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I ’ll solve the mystery for them presently. ” “ What do you mean? ” Parker asked quickly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ I ’ve simply come to deliver a message: you're wanted at once. ” “ What for and by whom? ” Parker asked alertly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ If any one can. ” “ Will he do it? ” Parker was consulting his watch and his manner was hurried.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Is that Mr. Parker's advice? ” she returned in the same quiet way.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Is there anything else I can do for you, Mrs. Moreton, or can I do anything for you in the city?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Is this where you live?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Katie Kearney? ” He was answered by a gasp.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Let ’s let that be for a while, Driscoll — tell me, does Burke like Miss Allen? ” “ Devoted to her.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Levene? ” he said with peculiar emphasis.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Lilian got back safely from her motor trip? ” “ Yesterday, ” she said composedly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Lying down may rest me, though. ” “ Want the light out? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Miss Allen is not up- stairs, sir. ” “ Have you any idea where she is? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Miss Nixie? ” She waked easily and with only a slight start, a downward look first at Driscoll who had not stirred, then up at Parker.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Miss Nixie? ” he said.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Now, what can I do to help you?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Poor Moreton — ” “ Have you any idea why he sent for me? ” Jowett asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Pretty, is n't it? ” he said with growling softness.
nyp.33433074811559	“ So you're getting fixed up at last?'
nyp.33433074811559	“ The Nixola Allen mentioned in your will? ” Parker asked quickly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ The footman's gone then? ” “ He and the butler had some words, sir, and he was discharged.
nyp.33433074811559	“ The lake is pretty, is n't it? ” she asked with the insouciance of a child.
nyp.33433074811559	“ The office? ” Parker asked of the elevator boy.
nyp.33433074811559	“ This is not the end of it, then?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Unmistakable — that odor? ” “ Hydrocyanic certainly, ” Parker returned.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Von Betler — and Mrs. von Betler — you are both on your feet — do you drink my toast, in its entirety? ” Von Betler had grown fiery red.
nyp.33433074811559	“ We agreed to consider everybody, did n't we? ” Parker returned composedly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ We talked very low — mostly in whispers, I think. ” “ Why in whispers? ” the coroner demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Well, how much wiser are you than you were before we went in there? ” Parker inquired promptly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Well, why not? ” Parker reflected, amused.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Well? ” Driscoll had lost his pallor; under Nixie's cold eyes he grew crimson.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Were you standing at the door during that time, you and the chauffeur? ” She did not answer for a moment.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What did you mean by telling that poor boy such an abominable falsehood? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What do you think of him?
nyp.33433074811559	“ What do you think of my lake? ” he asked with 13 14 THE MORETON MYSTERY a note of satisfaction.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What firm did you secure? ” “ Eberbaugh and Harris. ” Doctor Levene made a gesture of despair.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What has happened, Jowett? ” he asked very low and through tight lips.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What is he doing to him? ” she demanded in a whisper.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What is it?
nyp.33433074811559	“ What is your name — and your position in the fam- ily? ” the coroner asked, as one would address a serv- ant.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What reasons? ” Driscoll demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What's he holding off from Parker for? ” was Driscoll's mental com- ment.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What's her interest in him, anyway? ” “ Mainly his interest in her, I imagine! ” Parker flashed out.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What's that? ” Doctor Levene asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What's the matter? ” “ Nixiel ” Driscoll gave a convulsive start and jerked the wet cloth from his eyes.
nyp.33433074811559	“ What's wrong with your hand? ” Jowett asked quickly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ When is the coroner coming? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Where was his home — how came Mr. Moreton to hire him? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Where's Driscoll — he came out to- day, did n't he? ” Moreton asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Who are we going to run into at the house?
nyp.33433074811559	“ Who are you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Who found my uncle? ” Driscoll asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Who notified them then? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Why were you so eager to find Mr. Moreton? ” the coroner asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Why — do you know him? ” Parker asked.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Why? ” he asked finally.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Will you and the count lead the way? ” The antagonism between the two was apparent enough, and Parker caught the exchange of several glances.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Will you tell us of what nature were these ‘ worries'you mention? ” Nixie lifted her eyes to his.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Will you tell us what it was? ” Vivid spots of color showed in her cheeks.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Yes? ” he returned kindly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ Yes? ” said the coroner.
nyp.33433074811559	“ You know the disposition Mr. Moreton made of his property, Miss Nixie? ” Parker continued.
nyp.33433074811559	“ You noticed that the chief spoke to me on the side, did n't you — just before we came out?
nyp.33433074811559	“ You served at dinner last night, Burke, did you not?
nyp.33433074811559	“ You ’d be willing, then? ” he asked eagerly.
nyp.33433074811559	“ You ’re a stranger — what are you doing here? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074811559	“ You ’re a stu- dent of the abnormal, then, Doctor? ” “ I have to be. ” Doctor Levene smiled.
nyp.33433074811559	“ You ’re sure of that? ” His brows had lowered.
nyp.33433074811559	“ You ’ve had an eventful night then?
mdp.39015063962610	/ did n't go to the door, did I?
mdp.39015063962610	A castle, ca n't you see anything?

mdp.39015063962610	Ach, so?
mdp.39015063962610	After what"If you please,said the Baron,"did you not like him?
mdp.39015063962610	Again some other evening, dear Miss McKay?
mdp.39015063962610	Ah — you are engaged in detec- tive work?
mdp.39015063962610	Ah, is it not more pleasant to drive? mdp.39015063962610 All in seven thirty- two have alibis?
mdp.39015063962610	And Mr Sargent, then, killed Mr Hiroshita too? mdp.39015063962610 And Mr Sargent?"
mdp.39015063962610	And he complied, my dear sir?
mdp.39015063962610	And so you suffered in silence? mdp.39015063962610 And suppose the red diamond Hiroshita bought from Aleale did n't belong to Aleale?
mdp.39015063962610	And that's why you had me come out?
mdp.39015063962610	And this second soapstone plaque with the — ach!—the map? mdp.39015063962610 And what boat leaves tonight at this hour?"
mdp.39015063962610	And why the devil could n't I have gone with the Cap- tain?
mdp.39015063962610	And you and Miss Miquet were by yourselves while the three were on the balcony?
mdp.39015063962610	And you call yourself a gen- tleman?
mdp.39015063962610	And you recognized him on A deck at night?
mdp.39015063962610	And you spoke to Miss McKay?
mdp.39015063962610	And you walked toward the bar?
mdp.39015063962610	And you, my dear Mr Sargent?
mdp.39015063962610	And, if you please, you did not locate Miss McKay?
mdp.39015063962610	And, my dear sir, is not Mr Sargent engaged to a girl whose ranch is on Hawaii? mdp.39015063962610 And,"asked the Baron softly,"if Billy should die?"
mdp.39015063962610	Are you hurt?
mdp.39015063962610	Are you listening?
mdp.39015063962610	Are you satisfied, Baron?

mdp.39015063962610	Besides, Baron, the red dia- mond will bring us a fortune 1"Ach, so?
mdp.39015063962610	Billy"And would not the greater share of the feather cloak money thus come to him?
mdp.39015063962610	Billy? mdp.39015063962610 Bolton?"
mdp.39015063962610	Breakfast all right, Baron von Kaz?
mdp.39015063962610	Busy, Chief?
mdp.39015063962610	But Mr Bolton?
mdp.39015063962610	But on such a lovely night you did not go for a walk on deck, no?
mdp.39015063962610	But she owns her ranch, if you please?
mdp.39015063962610	But surely, dear Aunt Ella, no one would disturb a few valueless relics?
mdp.39015063962610	But why,he insisted very naively, with the lines deep- ening in his dark cheeks, and his blue eyes bright and engaging,"Why should they be hidden?
mdp.39015063962610	But you did not go to A deck?
mdp.39015063962610	But, my dear Mr Hiroshita, is it wise to leave you alone again?
mdp.39015063962610	But, my dear sir, how can one be certain? mdp.39015063962610 But, my dear sir, you will not join us?"

mdp.39015063962610	I wanted to see you because What do you mean? mdp.39015063962610 I'm not interrupting, Miss Miquet?
mdp.39015063962610	If I were king, do you know what I'd do? mdp.39015063962610 If you permit me, dear Miss McKay?"
mdp.39015063962610	If you please, Mr Bolton, are you hurt?
mdp.39015063962610	If you please, my dear sir,he asked casually, returning,"did you enjoy the music of the dance?"
mdp.39015063962610	If you please, my dear sir?
mdp.39015063962610	If you please, what is in the plaque?
mdp.39015063962610	If you please, who is Billy McKay?
mdp.39015063962610	If you please,requested the Baron,"will you stop the car?"
mdp.39015063962610	If you will permit me, my dear sir?
mdp.39015063962610	In a hurry, hey? mdp.39015063962610 In other words, translating from the Latin""Hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	In the plaque?
mdp.39015063962610	Intoxicated?
mdp.39015063962610	Is he hurt?
mdp.39015063962610	Is n't that worth half a million dollars? mdp.39015063962610 It is obvious, no?
mdp.39015063962610	It is very simple, no? mdp.39015063962610 It was you, was n't it?"
mdp.39015063962610	It's too grand a night to think of morbid things, do n't you agree?
mdp.39015063962610	Jail?
mdp.39015063962610	John, who's killed?
mdp.39015063962610	Jumpy, are n't you?
mdp.39015063962610	Know this girl, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	Leaving?
mdp.39015063962610	Let us say you are handicapped, no? mdp.39015063962610 Look here, d'you know that she and Billy and all her friends have taken the airplane to Maui?
mdp.39015063962610	Lord, man, I thought you were sick in your cabin? mdp.39015063962610 Mail is opened?"
mdp.39015063962610	Mail?
mdp.39015063962610	Mail?
mdp.39015063962610	Maybe like okolehau?
mdp.39015063962610	Maybe, because Hiroshita visited you, the gang thought you were mixed up in his affairs?
mdp.39015063962610	Me? mdp.39015063962610 Mind?
mdp.39015063962610	Miss McKay, then, has complete charge of her ranch?
mdp.39015063962610	Mr Hiroshita, what would you say if I informed you that this afternoon I discovered Miss Miquet's mail had been opened before she received it?
mdp.39015063962610	Mr Kohler? mdp.39015063962610 Mr Preacher was there?
mdp.39015063962610	Mr Sargent? mdp.39015063962610 Mutzmann?
mdp.39015063962610	My dear Miss Miquet,he stated, undisturbed,"are you aware that you kept the Baron von Kaz waiting once for over an hour?"
mdp.39015063962610	My dear Mr Christian Jameson, what was Saka Okyo's profession, the elder Saka Okyo?
mdp.39015063962610	My dear Mr Hiroshita, what if this unknown murderer discovered that Mr Kohler planned to sell his information to you? mdp.39015063962610 My dear sir, how can I blame you if Mr Sargent has been only doing what he considers his duty?
mdp.39015063962610	My gun?
mdp.39015063962610	No one then is permitted to take it from the desk?
mdp.39015063962610	No?
mdp.39015063962610	No?
mdp.39015063962610	Not Chinese jade?
mdp.39015063962610	Not even to gain the entire ranch?
mdp.39015063962610	Not pay one hundred thousand dollars to possess?
mdp.39015063962610	Not see her?
mdp.39015063962610	Now, what about this feather cloak, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	Oh, I'm'Mister'Jameson, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	Oh, it is you?
mdp.39015063962610	On the door?
mdp.39015063962610	Only two?
mdp.39015063962610	Pau?
mdp.39015063962610	Perhaps one of your other guests would have taken my mail by mistake?
mdp.39015063962610	Perhaps tomorrow we could plan on going for another ride if your leg does n't pain you? mdp.39015063962610 Please to tell me what is'wise'?
mdp.39015063962610	Porkullis?
mdp.39015063962610	Positive, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	Rib Mr Bolton? mdp.39015063962610 Saka Okyo?"
mdp.39015063962610	See Carl Kohler this evening? mdp.39015063962610 See here, Caryl, what in the tarnation would you need him for?"
mdp.39015063962610	See how simple? mdp.39015063962610 Shall I put a candle in the window for you?"
mdp.39015063962610	She was dancing, if you please, with her fiance?
mdp.39015063962610	She went?
mdp.39015063962610	Shot?
mdp.39015063962610	Since when, Cora, have you interested yourself in the alcoholic beverages sots wish to pour down their throats?
mdp.39015063962610	Smart feller, are n't you?
mdp.39015063962610	So that's the way you feel?
mdp.39015063962610	So you engaged him?
mdp.39015063962610	So you read it, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	So? mdp.39015063962610 So?

mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	So?
mdp.39015063962610	Suicide?
mdp.39015063962610	Suppose,suggested the Baron,"that Miss McKay was forced to kill Mr Kohler and Mr Hiroshita?
mdp.39015063962610	Sure she is n't in her room? mdp.39015063962610 That is when you became angry and left the room?"
mdp.39015063962610	That will cause the little man to march, no?
mdp.39015063962610	That's all?
mdp.39015063962610	That's how Hiroshita got the bump on his head, hey? mdp.39015063962610 The Doc knows what the hell he's talk- ing about, do n't he?
mdp.39015063962610	The brave Baron is going to Lahaina? mdp.39015063962610 The others?
mdp.39015063962610	The ranch is — uhm — valuable?
mdp.39015063962610	The screen prevented them from noticing you climb from your balcony to mine, no?
mdp.39015063962610	The third point is then, of what is the map? mdp.39015063962610 Then Mr Sargent had met Mr Preacher before embark- ing on the Kohala?"
mdp.39015063962610	Then anyone passing by could have taken them?
mdp.39015063962610	Then it's one of the three men?
mdp.39015063962610	Then you have de- termined who killed Mr Kohler? mdp.39015063962610 Think so?
mdp.39015063962610	Think so?
mdp.39015063962610	Think?
mdp.39015063962610	To Miss McKay?
mdp.39015063962610	Trouble?
mdp.39015063962610	Unless you want to tell me?
mdp.39015063962610	Valueless?
mdp.39015063962610	Very jolly, and how far running, please?
mdp.39015063962610	Want me to tell her that you'd like a dance when John and I go back to the table? mdp.39015063962610 Want to see me alone?"
mdp.39015063962610	Was he?
mdp.39015063962610	Was this Okyo an old feller? mdp.39015063962610 Weighted?"
mdp.39015063962610	Well?
mdp.39015063962610	Well?
mdp.39015063962610	Well?
mdp.39015063962610	Were all the letters opened?
mdp.39015063962610	What I wanted to ask you yesterday, before you passed out, was, do you know where the Haenel air gun is now?
mdp.39015063962610	What boy?
mdp.39015063962610	What caused what, sir?
mdp.39015063962610	What d'you want me to do? mdp.39015063962610 What difference does that make?"
mdp.39015063962610	What do you think, my dear Chriz?
mdp.39015063962610	What do you want with me?
mdp.39015063962610	What do you want?
mdp.39015063962610	What if I should have killed you? mdp.39015063962610 What plaque?
mdp.39015063962610	What plaque?
mdp.39015063962610	What portion of the ranch does Billy own?
mdp.39015063962610	What room, if you please, is the boy in?
mdp.39015063962610	What the devil's that gun going off It's you, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	What the hell's the matter with you?
mdp.39015063962610	What was Hiroshita afraid of?
mdp.39015063962610	What was the time?
mdp.39015063962610	What'd you find?
mdp.39015063962610	What're you getting at? mdp.39015063962610 What're you talking about?
mdp.39015063962610	What's a porkillis?
mdp.39015063962610	What's the matter with you? mdp.39015063962610 What's the matter with you?"
mdp.39015063962610	What's your name?
mdp.39015063962610	What/ said, if you please?
mdp.39015063962610	When I read that he had worked on Mr Preacher's ranch I felt that I should offer my condolences to Mr Preacher, no?
mdp.39015063962610	When are you going to give us your charade, Baron von Kaz?
mdp.39015063962610	When are you going to produce this famous charade, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	When can you arrive at Kailua?
mdp.39015063962610	When planning departure from Honolulu, please?
mdp.39015063962610	When you leaving, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	When you walked on B deck, did you go toward the bar from amidships?
mdp.39015063962610	Where are you? mdp.39015063962610 Where was Miss Miquet when Mr Hiroshita was shot?"
mdp.39015063962610	Where were you, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	Where's Hiroshita?
mdp.39015063962610	Where?
mdp.39015063962610	Who did, then?
mdp.39015063962610	Who does Caryl say slugged her?
mdp.39015063962610	Who else would open my mail?
mdp.39015063962610	Who knows who listens with telephone? mdp.39015063962610 Who's shot?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why are n't you fishing or lolling around the beach with the other tour- ists?
mdp.39015063962610	Why did Mr Kohler purchase the three thousand acres?
mdp.39015063962610	Why did Mr Kohler purchase three thousand acres from the Preacher Ranch?
mdp.39015063962610	Why did n't I meet you on the ship?
mdp.39015063962610	Why did n't you speak to it, then?
mdp.39015063962610	Why did you attempt to kill me twice?
mdp.39015063962610	Why did you open my mail? mdp.39015063962610 Why hell you do that for?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why in the world should I want to see Mr Bolton?
mdp.39015063962610	Why'd he hide in the closet when I knocked? mdp.39015063962610 Why?
mdp.39015063962610	Why?
mdp.39015063962610	Wise?
mdp.39015063962610	Would you permit a question?
mdp.39015063962610	Would you tell me where we are going?
mdp.39015063962610	Yes?
mdp.39015063962610	You Baron von Kaz?
mdp.39015063962610	You agree concerning the plaque, no?
mdp.39015063962610	You are aware that we were followed?
mdp.39015063962610	You are building more castles, no?
mdp.39015063962610	You can not say why Mr Kohler departed from Miss McKay's ranch?
mdp.39015063962610	You coming?
mdp.39015063962610	You did n't know Carl, did you?
mdp.39015063962610	You did n't meet him on the boat?
mdp.39015063962610	You did n't, did you, while my eyes were closed maybe, or when I was hiding my head under the bed?
mdp.39015063962610	You did n't?
mdp.39015063962610	You do n't know why Hiroshita was frightened, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	You do n't suppose she disregarded what the police said and went to the Von Stoltzes'?
mdp.39015063962610	You do not believe it?
mdp.39015063962610	You do, hey? mdp.39015063962610 You do?
mdp.39015063962610	You have greatly pleasing visit, Baron?
mdp.39015063962610	You have n't any idea what could've happened, hey? mdp.39015063962610 You have not seen me?"
mdp.39015063962610	You kjietv it was n't loaded?
mdp.39015063962610	You know so much, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	You mean in the next twenty- four hours you'll decide whether you want to tell me or not, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	You think I'm a fool, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	You think so, Mr Preacher?
mdp.39015063962610	You want dlink?
mdp.39015063962610	You wanted to tell the Captain first?
mdp.39015063962610	You went to your own room?
mdp.39015063962610	You will forgive me? mdp.39015063962610 You will pay the Baron von Kaz?"
mdp.39015063962610	You wish?
mdp.39015063962610	You'll want to have time for Mr Danton's brandy, wo n't you, friend?
mdp.39015063962610	You're Baron von Kaz?
mdp.39015063962610	You're a smart feller, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	You're at Kona Inn now?
mdp.39015063962610	You're joking?
mdp.39015063962610	You're not sore, then?
mdp.39015063962610	You're pretty cool about it, are n't you?
mdp.39015063962610	You're such a smart feller, I suppose you've figured out all this?
mdp.39015063962610	124 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS"So?"
mdp.39015063962610	138 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS"You're really the Baron von Kaz?"
mdp.39015063962610	176 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS"And they buried these — ach!—these feather cloaks with the old chieftains, dear Aunt Ella?"
mdp.39015063962610	23O THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS"Message of importance?"
mdp.39015063962610	32 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS"I have it?
mdp.39015063962610	A shadow passed on the sand, and a voice above him asked amiably,"What is that, please?"
mdp.39015063962610	A small, angry person asked with cold restraint,"Are you aware that you have kept me waiting?"
mdp.39015063962610	All their high and pretty ways looking down at me, a poor simple man?
mdp.39015063962610	And I'm afraid McCabb was too good for Kohler""Kohler?
mdp.39015063962610	And abruptly changing the subject,"You thinking of poor Mr Kohler?
mdp.39015063962610	And am I to hear the secret?"
mdp.39015063962610	And as he lifted his lips, he murmured very softly,"But you know where is Puakini's cavern, no, dear Aunt Ella?"
mdp.39015063962610	And as the younger man did n't move Bolton's voice pitched higher,"Do you hear, boy?
mdp.39015063962610	And could a lost Aztec city be the real story of the two Green Lions?
mdp.39015063962610	And even if you draw blank at all the other rooms, is it likely that you will enter hers?
mdp.39015063962610	And if he did, would that, after all, protect Miss Miquet?
mdp.39015063962610	And if he does find it hidden in the closet?
mdp.39015063962610	And if they all come to Hawaii, and the map follows them to Hawaii, does that not narrow the limits of what the map might represent?"
mdp.39015063962610	And if we do not go back, will your friends not fear that you have been kidnaped?"
mdp.39015063962610	And now that I am hired, I should like to be told where you were on the Kohala while I had the honor of waiting for you on A deck?"
mdp.39015063962610	And now, thought the Baron, suppose I learn that the greatest and bravest detective in all Europe is coming to this ranch?
mdp.39015063962610	And old Jap?"
mdp.39015063962610	And take care of yourself for at least twenty- four hours, hey?
mdp.39015063962610	And the largest of these eight islands is the island of Hawaii What?"
mdp.39015063962610	And the women who had the pa- tience to work fifty years to make a feather cloak?
mdp.39015063962610	And was Caryl Miquet being drawn into this case in any other way than that of the involuntary, the innocent recipient of Mr Hiroshita's second plaque?
mdp.39015063962610	And was he to admit to this scornful crea- ture that he, the great Von Kaz, beloved of the ladies of Vienna, was in love with her, an American nobody?
mdp.39015063962610	And what time, if you please, was it when you reached your cabin with Mr Preacher?"
mdp.39015063962610	And when the Baron nodded, Jameson demanded,"Billy's staying at the hotel?"
mdp.39015063962610	And where on B deck did you first en- counter Mr Preacher?"
mdp.39015063962610	And whom do you suspect?
mdp.39015063962610	And why should he worry about protecting her?
mdp.39015063962610	And would he be kind enough to tell me why?"
mdp.39015063962610	And you feel assured as to the content of the plaque; the content which is neither a map of a buried city nor a red diamond?"
mdp.39015063962610	And you say Kohler was killed with the same kind of a gun?"
mdp.39015063962610	And you were with Miss Miquet and Mr Preacher by the radio?"
mdp.39015063962610	And — if he did, is he working for himself or with Jeff?"
mdp.39015063962610	And// this great detective thinks I might have the air gun, must I not temporarily place the gun where he will not think of seeking for it?
mdp.39015063962610	Another drink for you, Jeff?"
mdp.39015063962610	Appealing to American police, what answer would be received to such a story?
mdp.39015063962610	Are the others""The others, ma'am?"
mdp.39015063962610	Are you going to stop?"
mdp.39015063962610	Are you hurt?"
mdp.39015063962610	Are you in it too?
mdp.39015063962610	Aye?
mdp.39015063962610	Baron, you'll pardon me?
mdp.39015063962610	Billy McKay?"
mdp.39015063962610	Billy is yet unconscious?"
mdp.39015063962610	Billy what?"
mdp.39015063962610	Body perhaps not rolled overboard?"
mdp.39015063962610	But do you know whether you can trust those others who know Billy?"
mdp.39015063962610	But how the bloody thunder did they get the pot at him unless some- body in the next room jumped across from the other bal- cony?
mdp.39015063962610	But it is a very poor castle, no?"
mdp.39015063962610	But meaning?
mdp.39015063962610	But the great Von Chweik und Melanesia?"
mdp.39015063962610	But the reasoning, if you please?"
mdp.39015063962610	But what did Kohler and Hiroshita have in common that got them both killed the same way?
mdp.39015063962610	But where's Puakini's?
mdp.39015063962610	By —"he swallowed, then, managed a feeble—"by jumping Jesus, what're you up to?"
mdp.39015063962610	Can you tell me where I can reach him?
mdp.39015063962610	Caryl's lips formed the single word,"Bolton?"
mdp.39015063962610	Coming, Mary?"
mdp.39015063962610	Could he have been imprudent?
mdp.39015063962610	Could he have let her suspect what he was seeking?
mdp.39015063962610	Cutting the sodden haze the Baron heard Bolton's flat voice,"How do you like it?"
mdp.39015063962610	Did n't someone in Miss McKay's party call for the mail this morning?"
mdp.39015063962610	Did you ever try dominoes?"
mdp.39015063962610	Did you not tell me that you required a brave detective to guard you in anticipation of being set upon en route to Honolulu?"
mdp.39015063962610	Did you really kill a thousand people?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do n't you see?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you have soldiers in the — the ante- mural too?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you imagine Jeff opened my undelivered mail on the boat while you were waiting for me on A deck?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you know why Mr Kohler went to Mexico?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you like jokes?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you play cards, Baron?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you think I'd let any of them know?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you understand what that is?"
mdp.39015063962610	Do you want me to go and see if anything has happened to Mr Kohler?"
mdp.39015063962610	Does not Mr Preacher re- turn to his own ranch on Hawaii?
mdp.39015063962610	Does that explain why Hiroshita got shot with an air gun?"
mdp.39015063962610	Does that interest a smart feller like you?
mdp.39015063962610	Ever hear of Haleakala?"
mdp.39015063962610	Feel- ing better?"
mdp.39015063962610	Finery?"
mdp.39015063962610	Got the handle weighted, have n't you?"
mdp.39015063962610	Guess you're a pretty important feller after all, eh?"
mdp.39015063962610	Had he not crossed the Atlantic, pene- trated through the canal to the Pacific?
mdp.39015063962610	Had she left the plaque in her room or had she taken it with her?
mdp.39015063962610	Have not Mary McKay, John Sargent, Jeffrey Preacher — have not they all remarked about it, or commented on it, or have heard others refer to it?
mdp.39015063962610	Have you a room for the man?"
mdp.39015063962610	Have you killed people?
mdp.39015063962610	Have you thought of that?"
mdp.39015063962610	He addressed the three men:"You'll excuse me?"
mdp.39015063962610	He asked anxiously,"You can remember that?"
mdp.39015063962610	He did not perhaps pass you, also walking toward the bar?"
mdp.39015063962610	He does not wish me to'trouble'Miss Miquet?"
mdp.39015063962610	He has his own suite of rooms?"
mdp.39015063962610	He leaned over, whispered confidentially,"Did the Japs give you a bad beating, Baron?"
mdp.39015063962610	He lifted THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 69"Police?"
mdp.39015063962610	He might have killed Mr Kohler, but if he escaped by running toward the front of the ship, would not Miss Miquet have seen him?"
mdp.39015063962610	He regarded the Baron unemotionally and finally asked,"Is part of the charade climbing out of the window?"
mdp.39015063962610	He said seriously,"I think* for this castle we shall have five hundred soldiers, no?"
mdp.39015063962610	He said softly,"But where can Miss Caryl be?"
mdp.39015063962610	He sighed, then she had been with her happy fiance all the time?
mdp.39015063962610	He squeaked,"And Miss Miquet, please?
mdp.39015063962610	He used to be a wrestler, did n't he?"
mdp.39015063962610	He was probably stargazing""Did you see Mr Bolton?"
mdp.39015063962610	He was so kind""Reach him?"
mdp.39015063962610	He whispered, when all was still,"Are you hurt?"
mdp.39015063962610	He wo n't tell me, but lay off, wo n't you?
mdp.39015063962610	Hearing Jameson's voice surging out of the receiver, Caryl asked pleasantly,"Is Mr Jameson having a stroke, or is it just the static from the storm?"
mdp.39015063962610	Hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	Hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	Hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	Hiroshita hired you""Hired?"
mdp.39015063962610	How about coming in for a drink and weeping on the barman's shoulder with me?
mdp.39015063962610	How about it, friend?"
mdp.39015063962610	How could he cap- ture the lovely Miss Caryl Miquet with her cousin in the same room?
mdp.39015063962610	How do I know?"
mdp.39015063962610	How is it that Mr Preacher, who was brought up in Europe, speaks idiomatic — that is American idiomatic English?"
mdp.39015063962610	How the devil did a cantanker- ous geologist like John ever get you to give in, Mary?"
mdp.39015063962610	How the hell do I know why he was drinking brandy in his bath?
mdp.39015063962610	How was I to guess the Mexicans would send the plaque to Manzanillo?
mdp.39015063962610	How was I to guess, hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	How'd you know him?"
mdp.39015063962610	I had""Mr Hiroshita?
mdp.39015063962610	I have utmost confidence in your — your — shall we say professional capacities?"
mdp.39015063962610	I suppose you'll go and complain to the police?"
mdp.39015063962610	I suppose you'll go on to the Orient?"
mdp.39015063962610	I wonder what beastly food the poor fellow could have eaten?
mdp.39015063962610	If the four at the ranch were arrested, would his evidence be strong enough to hang one of them?
mdp.39015063962610	In the elevator she remarked that it was quite a coincidence, was n't it?
mdp.39015063962610	Is n't she here?"
mdp.39015063962610	Is not simple?"
mdp.39015063962610	Is that correct?"
mdp.39015063962610	Is this a game?
mdp.39015063962610	It seems quite the thing, does n't it?
mdp.39015063962610	Jameson asked,"Where'd Jeff go after he left you at your stateroom?"
mdp.39015063962610	Jeffrey called,"How do you like being a hero?"
mdp.39015063962610	Kohler realizes that Hiroshita now has the button""Pardon?"
mdp.39015063962610	Leaving Mr Sargent on the balcony alone?"
mdp.39015063962610	Like a child?
mdp.39015063962610	Like some on the other islands?"
mdp.39015063962610	Lose your old one?"
mdp.39015063962610	Mary asked anxiously,"Jeff, you have n't seen Caryl, have you?"
mdp.39015063962610	Maybe you'd like to read it?"
mdp.39015063962610	Miss Miquet accompanies brave Baron?"
mdp.39015063962610	Mr Berry asked,"Are you coming down?"
mdp.39015063962610	Mr Kohler was in love with Miss McKay, no?
mdp.39015063962610	My dear sir, do you question the bravery of a Von Kaz?
mdp.39015063962610	Nearly?
mdp.39015063962610	Next time you want newspaper pub- licity, see me before telephoning the papers, hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	Nice day, is n't it?"
mdp.39015063962610	Northward was Keauhou in shimmering palm trees, near THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 239"Pilikia?"
mdp.39015063962610	Not that a simple man like myself wishes to argue, but three aces and a king do win, do n't they?"
mdp.39015063962610	Now, dear Miss Miquet, have you ever heard of a Saka Okyo?"
mdp.39015063962610	Now, look here:"Suppose she met Kohler on the boat and maybe they started making up again and John Sargent got sore?
mdp.39015063962610	Now, why in tarnation would anyone want to read your mail?"
mdp.39015063962610	Oh, you did?
mdp.39015063962610	One week?
mdp.39015063962610	Or did Jeff somehow hear about the feather cloak and come back to try to find that cave that had been on his prop- erty?
mdp.39015063962610	Or do n't you dance?"
mdp.39015063962610	Per- haps you have seen it?"
mdp.39015063962610	Perhaps THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 31 brave Baron lacks artistic background to appreciate true worth?"
mdp.39015063962610	Reluctantly Billy started toward the hotel, paused, asked 46 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS shyly,"You're a real baron?
mdp.39015063962610	Rib?"
mdp.39015063962610	She appealed to Jameson,"Will you tell me what this has to do with my mail?"
mdp.39015063962610	She called to Jeffrey,"Coming?
mdp.39015063962610	She had talked about him?
mdp.39015063962610	Should he leave now for the ranches?
mdp.39015063962610	Should he this very night prove to the Honolulu de- tective that he was not afraid of an air pistol?
mdp.39015063962610	Slowly he lit a cigarette, then asked abruptly,"Did the unfortunate Mr Kohler know Mr Sargent in Mexico?"
mdp.39015063962610	Small or large?"
mdp.39015063962610	Smart feller, hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	So Caryl had told her cousin that he was from Vienna?
mdp.39015063962610	So the gun with which he had threatened Mr Bolton, to say nothing of George Tuung's accomplices, had not been loaded?
mdp.39015063962610	So?"
mdp.39015063962610	Sure you were n't drunk too?"
mdp.39015063962610	THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 119"Then he did rescue you?"
mdp.39015063962610	THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 155"So?
mdp.39015063962610	THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 177"One thousand dollars?"
mdp.39015063962610	THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS 75"Where is he?
mdp.39015063962610	THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS l6l"Profession?
mdp.39015063962610	Telephone Puueo to ar- rest everyone at the McKay Ranch?"
mdp.39015063962610	That is important, no, Mr Chris- tian Jameson?"
mdp.39015063962610	That is, did he talk like he'd learned the language in England or from an Eng- lish feller in Japan?"
mdp.39015063962610	That shows the feller was scared of somebody, do n't it?
mdp.39015063962610	That shows you're""But does she own all the ranch, if you please?"
mdp.39015063962610	That's why you brought her here tonight?"
mdp.39015063962610	The 66 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS"Why inquiring, please?"
mdp.39015063962610	The Baron asked anx- iously,"Then they can give me nothing more on the old legends and customs?"
mdp.39015063962610	The Baron asked,"Have you a room, my dear Mr Chris- tian Jameson?"
mdp.39015063962610	The Baron snapped,"His name?"
mdp.39015063962610	The Orient?
mdp.39015063962610	The feller opposite your door?
mdp.39015063962610	The focal center was the Islands, but what island?
mdp.39015063962610	Then he asked, unable to conceal his anxiety,"Now un- derstanding why brave Baron stops here ten days, two weeks, please?"
mdp.39015063962610	Then you'd be good and sore, would n't you?"
mdp.39015063962610	Then,"You will operate your ranch, my dear Mr Preacher?"
mdp.39015063962610	There are only six rooms in this section""And you delivered all the mail to my wing, my dear sir?"
mdp.39015063962610	This is a new one, ai n't it?
mdp.39015063962610	This is a secret, see?"
mdp.39015063962610	Thought you'd get it for yourselves?"
mdp.39015063962610	To- morrow?
mdp.39015063962610	Very clever, please?
mdp.39015063962610	WHAT PLAQUE?"
mdp.39015063962610	Was Miss McKay also in love with Mr Hiroshita?"
mdp.39015063962610	Was he to lose more precious time talking to Honolulu?
mdp.39015063962610	Was she unknowingly caught in this chain of events?
mdp.39015063962610	Was that his message?
mdp.39015063962610	We could have a game now, Baron, if you wanted to?"
mdp.39015063962610	We go back now?"
mdp.39015063962610	Well?
mdp.39015063962610	What I'm trying to say is, do n't rib Bolton, will you?"
mdp.39015063962610	What about some Hawaiian okolehau?"
mdp.39015063962610	What are you doing here?
mdp.39015063962610	What could he tell her?
mdp.39015063962610	What d'you know?"
mdp.39015063962610	What d'you want?"
mdp.39015063962610	What do you think of that now?
mdp.39015063962610	What do you think, hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	What do you think?"
mdp.39015063962610	What do you want to drink?"
mdp.39015063962610	What have I done to you?"
mdp.39015063962610	What information could he obtain which would necessitate a map?
mdp.39015063962610	What is a little hurt?
mdp.39015063962610	What is this con- cerning your candy and the opened mail, if you please?"
mdp.39015063962610	What is your name?"
mdp.39015063962610	What part was Caryl Miquet playing?
mdp.39015063962610	What place did Saka Okyo, the countryman of Mr Hiroshita, have in this miasma?
mdp.39015063962610	What right had he to tell Jame- son Mr Hiroshita's story?
mdp.39015063962610	What right had you to open my mail?"
mdp.39015063962610	What scenery is particularly suitable in this lovely island to see between one o'clock and nightfall?"
mdp.39015063962610	What steps have you taken regarding the air pistol?"
mdp.39015063962610	What the hell happened at the McKay Ranch?"
mdp.39015063962610	What was Hiroshita afraid of that he had to have a bodyguard?"
mdp.39015063962610	What was a shiny water rock?
mdp.39015063962610	What would Caryl do?
mdp.39015063962610	What would the police do then?
mdp.39015063962610	What would your sister say if she knew her brother had been crying?
mdp.39015063962610	What're you planning to do?
mdp.39015063962610	What's the idea of putting this in the paper?"
mdp.39015063962610	What's the matter with you anyway?"
mdp.39015063962610	When Jameson said nothing, the Baron glided to the writing table, whirled, shouted,"Do you comprehend?
mdp.39015063962610	When he had finished he said,"What do I care if* Berenday is stinking sore?
mdp.39015063962610	When was he leaving?
mdp.39015063962610	Where are the little Oo and Mamo birds — the Iiwi birds — from which they plucked one by one the colored feathers to make the cloaks?
mdp.39015063962610	Where are you, Billy?
mdp.39015063962610	Where is Mr Jame- son?"
mdp.39015063962610	Where is it now?"
mdp.39015063962610	Where were the others?"
mdp.39015063962610	Where were we?
mdp.39015063962610	Where were you on the ship between — well — be- tween midnight and around one o'clock?"
mdp.39015063962610	Where'd you go after you and Bolton entered?"
mdp.39015063962610	Where's his?
mdp.39015063962610	While talking, the Baron had lifted the telephone receiver, and the Japanese sharply interrupted,"Who telephoning?"
mdp.39015063962610	Who had the map first?
mdp.39015063962610	Who is admirer, please?
mdp.39015063962610	Who killed Mr Hiro- shita?
mdp.39015063962610	Who may kill more people when the mail brings that plaque from Mexico to Miss Miquet?
mdp.39015063962610	Who the hell's going to kidnap me on a boat?
mdp.39015063962610	Why Baron ask?
mdp.39015063962610	Why had the gun been placed in her closet?
mdp.39015063962610	Why'd Hiroshita want to see you?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why'd he come to see you in the first place?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why, my dear sir, did you not inform me that mail boats also landed at Hilo?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why, you do n't imagine I'd really want to throw you off the cliff, do you?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why?"
mdp.39015063962610	Why?"
mdp.39015063962610	Will you hurry?"
mdp.39015063962610	With Hiroshita shot and Miss Miquet soon to receive a package that already had led to two deaths?
mdp.39015063962610	With all their wealth?
mdp.39015063962610	Wonder if your friends in Austria know you're so companionable with a dope smuggler, eh?"
mdp.39015063962610	Would n't I make a keen detective?"
mdp.39015063962610	Would she wait there?
mdp.39015063962610	Would that one at the ranch know that mail from Mex- ico had been delivered?
mdp.39015063962610	Would that one, that murderer, killer, follow her to this ranch?
mdp.39015063962610	Would the murderer by now have possession of the plaque?
mdp.39015063962610	Write an article for one of the foreign magazines?"
mdp.39015063962610	You com- prehend?"
mdp.39015063962610	You could rent me a boat, no?"
mdp.39015063962610	You did n't know I was watching, did you?
mdp.39015063962610	You did n't see her, John?"
mdp.39015063962610	You do n't find such women any more, with steamboats and airplanes, do you?"
mdp.39015063962610	You do n't imagine any- thing could happen to that boy, do you?"
mdp.39015063962610	You do n't know why Kohler was murdered, hey?"
mdp.39015063962610	You had suggested tomorrow, my dear sir?"
mdp.39015063962610	You have n't any ideas, then?''
mdp.39015063962610	You have seen the charade, after all?"
mdp.39015063962610	You knew him?"
mdp.39015063962610	You knew that?"
mdp.39015063962610	You know him, do n't you?"
mdp.39015063962610	You must go to the police, to that good Mr Jameson""The police?"
mdp.39015063962610	You ow when the plaque will arrive in order to be on your guard?
mdp.39015063962610	You remained while he wandered lonely and unhappy?"
mdp.39015063962610	You remember Marge Courtwell, do n't you?
mdp.39015063962610	You see her, Bolton?"
mdp.39015063962610	You thought he was killed, did n't you?"
mdp.39015063962610	You were planning to ship me off the Islands tonight?"
mdp.39015063962610	You were the one who found Carl Kohler dead?
mdp.39015063962610	You who will build castles?
mdp.39015063962610	You will understand, please?"
mdp.39015063962610	You're sure about the feller Poling in seven thirty- one?
mdp.39015063962610	You've been too clever for me, and I expect you'll send me to jail, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015063962610	Your brother?"
mdp.39015063962610	disturbed?"
mdp.39015063962610	hey, and introduce yourself?"
mdp.39015063962610	l6 THE FEATHER CLOAK MURDERS Mary McKay shook the ice in Jeffrey's glass and after a few minutes asked,"Why do n't you get rid of Bolton?
mdp.39015063962610	the voice was saying, are you to cry, my dear Billy?
mdp.39015063962610	what do you mean?"
mdp.39015063962610	why was it that Mr Hiroshita had desired him to stay just to see her?
nyp.33433074893409	'Six years?' nyp.33433074893409 'Wrecked?'
nyp.33433074893409	A storm out of the west?
nyp.33433074893409	Ah,said Plessy with a start of surprise,"Was the letter indeed in the case?"
nyp.33433074893409	And as for pay?
nyp.33433074893409	And is that all?
nyp.33433074893409	And the bearer?
nyp.33433074893409	And then?
nyp.33433074893409	And to this?
nyp.33433074893409	And what had Mr. Mardale to say to it?
nyp.33433074893409	And what has the lady to say to it?
nyp.33433074893409	And what man is it?
nyp.33433074893409	And where is Burley Wood?
nyp.33433074893409	And why?
nyp.33433074893409	And you have not heard of her?
nyp.33433074893409	And you infer?
nyp.33433074893409	Branded, d'ye see? nyp.33433074893409 But all this talk about London?"
nyp.33433074893409	But do you think that question would press?
nyp.33433074893409	But for these three weeks? nyp.33433074893409 But how does that — forgetfulness, shall we say?
nyp.33433074893409	But how is it that my mole is so familiar a thing to you? nyp.33433074893409 But is he playing a game at all?"
nyp.33433074893409	But what boon, good Sir Broyance?
nyp.33433074893409	But when it is finished?
nyp.33433074893409	But who has it?
nyp.33433074893409	But, Esteban?
nyp.33433074893409	By tricks?
nyp.33433074893409	Can we do no more?
nyp.33433074893409	Can you show me the companion to this?
nyp.33433074893409	Can you tell me when Mrs. Ripley was buried?
nyp.33433074893409	Captain?
nyp.33433074893409	Chance?
nyp.33433074893409	Dicky, are you hurt?
nyp.33433074893409	Did I not tell you the chassepots were not found? nyp.33433074893409 Did he speak to you?"
nyp.33433074893409	Did he tell you why?
nyp.33433074893409	Did one of you,he asked,"leave a Moorish pipe behind you at an inn of Saxmundham?"
nyp.33433074893409	Do n't you ever paint?
nyp.33433074893409	Do n't you understand? nyp.33433074893409 Do you mean she is dead?''
nyp.33433074893409	Do you mean that?
nyp.33433074893409	Does it need four hours and a fresh horse to journey fifteen miles?
nyp.33433074893409	Does n't it sound damned wicked?
nyp.33433074893409	Does n't it sound wicked?
nyp.33433074893409	Does one laugh at one's creed?
nyp.33433074893409	Except by hearsay?
nyp.33433074893409	From you?
nyp.33433074893409	Has it been smoked?
nyp.33433074893409	Have two years made so vast a difference?
nyp.33433074893409	Have you ever seen the Horse Guards'Parade on a dark, rainy night?
nyp.33433074893409	He rides out from Ronda an honest soldier and returns — what? nyp.33433074893409 How dare he?"
nyp.33433074893409	How dare you?
nyp.33433074893409	How did you find out?
nyp.33433074893409	How is Leopold? nyp.33433074893409 How much remains to be done?"
nyp.33433074893409	How?
nyp.33433074893409	Hurt?
nyp.33433074893409	I am to be hung up to a beam till I kick to death, am I? nyp.33433074893409 I did not know Esteban was dependent on his sister, but what difference would her marriage make?
nyp.33433074893409	I say,asked Walker,"is n't it rather dangerous to go slumming about West Africa alone?"
nyp.33433074893409	I? nyp.33433074893409 Is she not still and white?"
nyp.33433074893409	Is she not still? nyp.33433074893409 Is that all?"
nyp.33433074893409	Is there nothing of your true self left?
nyp.33433074893409	It is like meeting old friends, is it not, my children, or rather new sweethearts?
nyp.33433074893409	It is three weeks since you left the hospital?
nyp.33433074893409	It was Esteban who advised the army, who helped you to your commission? nyp.33433074893409 Mr. Ripley is alive?"
nyp.33433074893409	Mr. Robert Lovyes?
nyp.33433074893409	Must I go, father?
nyp.33433074893409	My lord,she said,"why weep for the handmaid when the princess lives?"
nyp.33433074893409	My word I passed to you when you were a maid, and shall I not keep it now that you are a wife?
nyp.33433074893409	No butter?
nyp.33433074893409	No?
nyp.33433074893409	Noth- ing has changed?
nyp.33433074893409	Nothing?
nyp.33433074893409	Oh, do n't you understand?
nyp.33433074893409	Oh,said Hatteras quietly,"so you have been asking questions of my servants?"
nyp.33433074893409	Past the Henrietta Fort?
nyp.33433074893409	Shall I tell you your malady, father?
nyp.33433074893409	She was buried when?
nyp.33433074893409	Since when?
nyp.33433074893409	Sir, do I understand you?
nyp.33433074893409	Sir, have you changed your tune?
nyp.33433074893409	So you have not gone, after all?
nyp.33433074893409	Tell me,he said in a rare burst of confidence,"Do you think a battle is the real test of courage?
nyp.33433074893409	That?
nyp.33433074893409	The coward?
nyp.33433074893409	Then what did you come out for?
nyp.33433074893409	Then why not that?
nyp.33433074893409	Then you did write?
nyp.33433074893409	To relieve the Charles Fort?
nyp.33433074893409	To- night?
nyp.33433074893409	Unaware?
nyp.33433074893409	Well, what is it?
nyp.33433074893409	Well, why not?
nyp.33433074893409	Well?
nyp.33433074893409	Well?
nyp.33433074893409	Well?
nyp.33433074893409	Well?
nyp.33433074893409	Well?
nyp.33433074893409	What ails you, child?
nyp.33433074893409	What ails you, child?
nyp.33433074893409	What an ass I have been,he thought,"why did n't I think of that cure myself?"
nyp.33433074893409	What did you? nyp.33433074893409 What do you intend?"
nyp.33433074893409	What do you intend?
nyp.33433074893409	What do you see now?
nyp.33433074893409	What is it, Faversham?
nyp.33433074893409	What is it, Faversham?
nyp.33433074893409	What is it? nyp.33433074893409 What is it?"
nyp.33433074893409	What man is it? nyp.33433074893409 What of him?
nyp.33433074893409	What shall We call him?
nyp.33433074893409	What should I see?
nyp.33433074893409	What the devil made you tum- tum'Tommy Atkins'on the banjo? nyp.33433074893409 What were you doing on deck?
nyp.33433074893409	What will this say?
nyp.33433074893409	What will you, my son? nyp.33433074893409 What's that?"
nyp.33433074893409	What's the use? nyp.33433074893409 What's up?"
nyp.33433074893409	What, lad? nyp.33433074893409 When did she die?"
nyp.33433074893409	Where did you get this?
nyp.33433074893409	Where's Willie and the crew?
nyp.33433074893409	Where's the binnacle?
nyp.33433074893409	Where, father?
nyp.33433074893409	Who am I, my lord, that I should oppose the will of the princess? nyp.33433074893409 Who are you?"
nyp.33433074893409	Why did I not send for you?
nyp.33433074893409	Why did n't you wake me?
nyp.33433074893409	Why is the shop closed?
nyp.33433074893409	Why not? nyp.33433074893409 Why not?"
nyp.33433074893409	Why? nyp.33433074893409 Wife?"
nyp.33433074893409	Will you answer me a question?
nyp.33433074893409	Will you tell me, if you please, where Mrs. Ripley lives?
nyp.33433074893409	You are English, my Commandant?
nyp.33433074893409	You are riding to 01vera? nyp.33433074893409 You are surprised?"
nyp.33433074893409	You are well? nyp.33433074893409 You carry orders to Olvera?"
nyp.33433074893409	You did not wish your friends at the Quarry House good- bye?
nyp.33433074893409	You do n't mean that?
nyp.33433074893409	You doubt that? nyp.33433074893409 You dragged a chain on Tangier Mole?
nyp.33433074893409	You have matches? nyp.33433074893409 You have with you some of the Moorish tobacco?"
nyp.33433074893409	You joined us after Gravelotte,continued Max,"Why?"
nyp.33433074893409	You see that house?
nyp.33433074893409	You see that?
nyp.33433074893409	You think I did not speak the truth when I gave the reason of my refusal? nyp.33433074893409 You travel far to- night?"
nyp.33433074893409	You were proposing to her?
nyp.33433074893409	You will leave?
nyp.33433074893409	You will let me know when it's ready?
nyp.33433074893409	You've got a medicine- chest, skipper, with some laudanum in it?
nyp.33433074893409	You, Philippe?
nyp.33433074893409	You?
nyp.33433074893409	Your work?
nyp.33433074893409	'For what is it that you fight?
nyp.33433074893409	'What do you mean to do?'
nyp.33433074893409	'What is it?'
nyp.33433074893409	* The Lieutenant had it on his lips to shout,"Then why not lead us out to die?"
nyp.33433074893409	107 dishonour of which a gallant man is incapable, is it not so?
nyp.33433074893409	205 Dogger to the English coast; and at daybreak he shouted —"Can you see land?"
nyp.33433074893409	67"Have you seen the like of this before?"
nyp.33433074893409	83"Is it Lance's death that you require?"
nyp.33433074893409	A linen- draper, eh?
nyp.33433074893409	A woman?"
nyp.33433074893409	Again Weeks called out —"See anything?"
nyp.33433074893409	Am I wise?
nyp.33433074893409	And my mother asked curiously —"'You know these islands?'
nyp.33433074893409	And who sold the pistol and the powder to the Moors, England's enemies?
nyp.33433074893409	And why?
nyp.33433074893409	Are you saved?"
nyp.33433074893409	Are you the only man that has worn chains?
nyp.33433074893409	At that Rudel was greatly rejoiced, and said:"Dost hear him, Solita?
nyp.33433074893409	At what hour was he struck?"
nyp.33433074893409	At what hour?"
nyp.33433074893409	Brother,'said Robert, taking between his fingers half a gold coin, which was threaded on a chain about Mrs. Lovyes'wrist,'where is the fellow to this?
nyp.33433074893409	But a man must settle, to be sure, and since the lady is young, and not wanting in looks or breed- ing or station, as I am told —""As you are told?"
nyp.33433074893409	But did I say it was the name of the lady who had written the letter?
nyp.33433074893409	But how many fight and fight no worse than the rest by reason of a sort of cowardice?
nyp.33433074893409	But it only led to another question:"Had Scrope been degraded, and why?"
nyp.33433074893409	But what does it matter?
nyp.33433074893409	But you, can you explain it?
nyp.33433074893409	By argument?
nyp.33433074893409	By excuses?
nyp.33433074893409	By proofs?
nyp.33433074893409	By what spells, Major,"he asked with irony,"will you bind Tangier to silence when there's scandal to be talked?
nyp.33433074893409	Can you lend me a horse?"
nyp.33433074893409	Can you see light?"
nyp.33433074893409	Can you spare me a dance?"
nyp.33433074893409	Come and call on me; what day will you come?"
nyp.33433074893409	Could he not be sent home to England?
nyp.33433074893409	Did I mention a name?"
nyp.33433074893409	Did I play the coward on that night I was captured?
nyp.33433074893409	Did he not spoil the magic of the months in Paris?"
nyp.33433074893409	Do you remember Orpheus?
nyp.33433074893409	Do you remember my first landing?
nyp.33433074893409	Do you remember the night I came ashore?
nyp.33433074893409	Do you understand?"
nyp.33433074893409	For what offence?"
nyp.33433074893409	Hast discovered thou art a woman after all?
nyp.33433074893409	Have we been backward?
nyp.33433074893409	Have you counted the cost?"
nyp.33433074893409	Have you seen it before?"
nyp.33433074893409	He gazed out at night across the rippling starlit water, and the smacks nestling upon it, and asked of his God:"Is this all?"
nyp.33433074893409	He hitched his chair up to mine; I asked him what my chances were, and whether he would second them?
nyp.33433074893409	He, I suppose, might creep back to Ronda, broken in honour and with a lie to tell?
nyp.33433074893409	How much farther should I have ridden towards Olvera, and by what gentle means should I have been stopped?"
nyp.33433074893409	How often did I knock?'
nyp.33433074893409	How was he to dissuade them?
nyp.33433074893409	I am to be buried decently in that stagnant pool, am I?
nyp.33433074893409	I should have asked, Will you confirm an assertion?
nyp.33433074893409	If not Major Lashley, who else?
nyp.33433074893409	In the Midlands, what?
nyp.33433074893409	Is that all you have to say of these?"
nyp.33433074893409	Is that why you always prefer it to your own?"
nyp.33433074893409	Is the trick after all so harmless?
nyp.33433074893409	Is there no one — Esteban, for instance — in the dark passage outside the door or on the dark road outside the gates?"
nyp.33433074893409	It is a fine thing no doubt for you young gentlemen, but for me?
nyp.33433074893409	It is near to here?"
nyp.33433074893409	It would n't do, would it, if it got about?"
nyp.33433074893409	Lord ha'mercy on me, what's the use of it?
nyp.33433074893409	Major Lashley then?
nyp.33433074893409	Mrs. Knightley, I take it, is no longer in Tangier?"
nyp.33433074893409	Must you go?"
nyp.33433074893409	My friend, do you know that Esteban has not a groat?
nyp.33433074893409	Now what will you do?"
nyp.33433074893409	Now, who'll go with Willie?"
nyp.33433074893409	Of all unsupported excuses which can match for futility the excuse of mistaken identity?
nyp.33433074893409	Of course the other volume would be in the woman's keeping, and how in the world to discover her?
nyp.33433074893409	Or to capture a convoy?
nyp.33433074893409	Or to spike a battery?
nyp.33433074893409	Or would you have helped him to the lie?"
nyp.33433074893409	Resilda?
nyp.33433074893409	She drew on her gloves and looking towards the easel inquired dully,"What stage is that?"
nyp.33433074893409	She sent Leopold into Hugh Town upon an errand, and as we walked back up the hill she said:"Did you notice a grave underneath John's tablet?"
nyp.33433074893409	She struck the arm of her chair with her closed fist and cried in a quick petulance,"How dare he?"
nyp.33433074893409	Should he keep him?
nyp.33433074893409	Should he let the Ensign go?
nyp.33433074893409	So I thought the tie would make a tactful present, symbolical( do you see?)
nyp.33433074893409	So it was not to persuade her but rather in acknowledgment that he said:"And one: does not change one's creed?"
nyp.33433074893409	Suppose that I kill you, what sort of penalty should I suffer at their hands?"
nyp.33433074893409	The emblem of a conquest, I sup- pose?
nyp.33433074893409	The landlord or Lieutenant Faversham?
nyp.33433074893409	Then she added,"Did you see Esteban in Ronda this afternoon?"
nyp.33433074893409	Then spake Rudel again:"O vile and treacherous,"he cried,"who will obey thee?"
nyp.33433074893409	Then will you forgive me one tiny word of advice?
nyp.33433074893409	Then —"What game is this he's playing?"
nyp.33433074893409	There is no beef, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074893409	There is no reason — is there? — why he and she should be kept apart?"
nyp.33433074893409	There is no reason — is there? — why he and she should be kept apart?"
nyp.33433074893409	This, no doubt, is the Cornish tongue,'he inter- rupted gravely,'and will you please to carry my boots outside?'
nyp.33433074893409	To fight and wrestle for your ship, eh?
nyp.33433074893409	Two years is it?
nyp.33433074893409	Was it Mr. Mardale?
nyp.33433074893409	Was it to surprise a field- watch?
nyp.33433074893409	Was it, as it were, a step downwards towards a closer association?
nyp.33433074893409	Was it, in a word, a signal for Esteban — a signal which should tell him whether or not she had secured the letter?
nyp.33433074893409	Was she explaining that arrangement of the gloves?
nyp.33433074893409	Was that arrangement the reason of her ready acceptance of his refusal to part with his orders?
nyp.33433074893409	Was this masquerading as a black man a further proof of the fascination?
nyp.33433074893409	Well?'
nyp.33433074893409	What can you think of me?
nyp.33433074893409	What have you to say to this?"
nyp.33433074893409	What is be — a linen- draper?"
nyp.33433074893409	What island is this?'
nyp.33433074893409	What made you think I had?"
nyp.33433074893409	What say? M And she answered in a low voice.
nyp.33433074893409	What shall I make of him?
nyp.33433074893409	What should I see?"
nyp.33433074893409	When he wakes again to his senses, the last thing he remembers is — what?
nyp.33433074893409	Where did we meet first?"
nyp.33433074893409	Where had he heard it before?
nyp.33433074893409	Who taught you Latin?'
nyp.33433074893409	Who was the discriminating judge who had marked these passages and underlined these letters?
nyp.33433074893409	Why are you de- serters?"
nyp.33433074893409	Why did they hold their breath?
nyp.33433074893409	Why did you not send for me after, after?"
nyp.33433074893409	Why do n't you go on?"
nyp.33433074893409	Why on earth did n't you kill me that night in your compound?"
nyp.33433074893409	Will you be wearing it to- morrow?
nyp.33433074893409	Wo n't you wait and meet him?"
nyp.33433074893409	Would you?"
nyp.33433074893409	You admire the coat?
nyp.33433074893409	You are not satisfied, gentlemen?
nyp.33433074893409	You are satisfied?"
nyp.33433074893409	You follow me?
nyp.33433074893409	You remember what Plato remarked about the actor?"
nyp.33433074893409	You under- stand?"
nyp.33433074893409	and he asked,"When is it to be?"
nyp.33433074893409	cried the princess,"you are his wife?"
nyp.33433074893409	or something in a Free Library, handing out Charles Reade's books?
nyp.33433074893409	» Here is the instance you needed,"he said,"Yes, did I play the coward?"
nyp.33433074893409	— persuade you to the fear that you played the coward?"
mdp.39015062475598	'You are in an ill- humor; is it with me?
mdp.39015062475598	77said the Knifer, whose swimming of the head began to return,"I merit it — and how?"
mdp.39015062475598	A chap with the soup- strainers( moustaches)? mdp.39015062475598 A crime, madame?"
mdp.39015062475598	A reproach? mdp.39015062475598 A very pretty tune; I merely wished to see if you would have the effect of inducing any of the passers- by to turn round?"
mdp.39015062475598	Absolutely nothing?
mdp.39015062475598	Ah, my dear baron?
mdp.39015062475598	Ai n't it stylish? mdp.39015062475598 All alone?"
mdp.39015062475598	Although Rosette is black?
mdp.39015062475598	Am I a likely- looking person to be sick then?
mdp.39015062475598	Am I not, my lady? mdp.39015062475598 An evil?"
mdp.39015062475598	Anastasia,said Alfred, gravely,"have you then, like Brad- amanti, no respect for anything sacred here on earth?
mdp.39015062475598	And David saved the planter?
mdp.39015062475598	And Louise, then? mdp.39015062475598 And are you certain that this female was not your mother?"
mdp.39015062475598	And did the working deiitist do nothing for these poor creatures?
mdp.39015062475598	And do you think that will be all?
mdp.39015062475598	And does her mother still live?
mdp.39015062475598	And does its work full measure, and no frothing, does n't it, my beauty?
mdp.39015062475598	And does no one assist these poor creatures?
mdp.39015062475598	And for whom are those five thousand francs?
mdp.39015062475598	And from Saint Ouen to Paris?
mdp.39015062475598	And has this Commander been again?
mdp.39015062475598	And he is much dreaded?
mdp.39015062475598	And her education?
mdp.39015062475598	And how did they live? mdp.39015062475598 And how much can this poor man earn a day?"
mdp.39015062475598	And my dear step- daughter,continued she,"is not, I hope, as savage as her husband?"
mdp.39015062475598	And now aids them no further?
mdp.39015062475598	And of what use are these diamonds to them?
mdp.39015062475598	And on returning to the Ogress, in those filthy streets?
mdp.39015062475598	And only one porter to guard the treasure? mdp.39015062475598 And pray, who are you, that you dare dictate thus to me; and by what authority?
mdp.39015062475598	And really believed in the love of that young woman for him?
mdp.39015062475598	And she knows where this young girl is now?
mdp.39015062475598	And she received the information with gratitude, for her heart is deeply imbued with religious feeling?
mdp.39015062475598	And sometimes you wish to die?
mdp.39015062475598	And the Poissy cattle- dealer?
mdp.39015062475598	And the third time?
mdp.39015062475598	And their lodging was wretched?
mdp.39015062475598	And then, again, you ought to think a little of the future,"The future?
mdp.39015062475598	And this woman assists him in his robberies?
mdp.39015062475598	And this woman will return to- morrow?
mdp.39015062475598	And to Countess Macgregor?
mdp.39015062475598	And to Countess d'Orbigny?
mdp.39015062475598	And was his conduct less brutal toward you afterwards?
mdp.39015062475598	And what became of these savings?
mdp.39015062475598	And what color is the milk of the black heifer?
mdp.39015062475598	And what could Rudolf want at the house of this man?
mdp.39015062475598	And what did she want with the fortune- teller?
mdp.39015062475598	And what did you get, when you sold what they left you?
mdp.39015062475598	And what do those parcels contain?
mdp.39015062475598	And what do you admire, neighbor?
mdp.39015062475598	And what does this blind man want?
mdp.39015062475598	And what good for me to prefer it, since I can not enjoy it?
mdp.39015062475598	And what has become of her?
mdp.39015062475598	And what is your intention now?
mdp.39015062475598	And what the devil would you have one to fight for? mdp.39015062475598 And what then?"
mdp.39015062475598	And what were your parents?
mdp.39015062475598	And when you found yourself alone with M. Ferrand, how did he explain his conduct toward you before the cure?
mdp.39015062475598	And when you had fetched the worms for your Owl, what did you do next?
mdp.39015062475598	And when you had spent all your money on Lorraine and hei little one, what did you do, my child?
mdp.39015062475598	And when you left the hulks what did you do, Knifer?
mdp.39015062475598	And when you went to the market, was it to buy flowers?
mdp.39015062475598	And when, my lord, will you confide to me this great secret?
mdp.39015062475598	And where is the poor fellow waiting?'' mdp.39015062475598 And whither are you going?"
mdp.39015062475598	And who and what is that man?
mdp.39015062475598	And who do you work for?
mdp.39015062475598	And why did you put him into the barn?
mdp.39015062475598	And why does she want them imitated?
mdp.39015062475598	And you also are come to avenge yourself? mdp.39015062475598 And you are sure that that man is not dead?"
mdp.39015062475598	And you did write him, unhappy child, three days since? mdp.39015062475598 And you have sworn?"
mdp.39015062475598	And you never thought of confiding your sorrows to M. Ger- main?
mdp.39015062475598	And you take it easy sometimes — eh, lazy- bones?
mdp.39015062475598	And you will also spin us your yarn, friend Rudolf?
mdp.39015062475598	And you will not abandon me, will you?
mdp.39015062475598	And you will not accept that?
mdp.39015062475598	And your name? mdp.39015062475598 And your other favorite; Rosette?"
mdp.39015062475598	And your parents? mdp.39015062475598 And, La Louve, where are your parents?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are we cowards, then?
mdp.39015062475598	Are you mad? mdp.39015062475598 Are you no longer nearme?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are you taking a cheap excursion out of your head? mdp.39015062475598 As white and as good as that of Musette?"
mdp.39015062475598	As you know M. Rudolf,said the Knifer,"you may boast of a staunch friend and no error?
mdp.39015062475598	At the hulks you were in a good school for learning to thieve?'' mdp.39015062475598 Because only you entered my room,"said the ruffian;"and I was robbed on the night of your arrival; who else would you have me suspect?
mdp.39015062475598	Because you relish the sassidge?
mdp.39015062475598	Before continuing this conversation, madame, I must ask you what interest you have in this affair?
mdp.39015062475598	But I ask you again, what are you doing there?
mdp.39015062475598	But as you have never been a'gun,'why do you live in the City?
mdp.39015062475598	But did not the barley- sugar tempt you, my poor Goua- leuse?'' mdp.39015062475598 But he will go?"
mdp.39015062475598	But his notes, my dear baron?
mdp.39015062475598	But how did you get here in time, my brave fellow?
mdp.39015062475598	But how do you know that M. Germain is with the notary?
mdp.39015062475598	But how has all this happened?
mdp.39015062475598	But how old was your father at that time?
mdp.39015062475598	But if he loved you?
mdp.39015062475598	But if turned out of here, where will they go?
mdp.39015062475598	But is your husband completely tranquilized?
mdp.39015062475598	But no — he wished to imprison me this morning,continued Morel;"it is not he?
mdp.39015062475598	But of what is she accused, then? mdp.39015062475598 But of what use am I to you? — of what good are our children to us, but to overload you with work?"
mdp.39015062475598	But of what use am I to you? — of what good are our children to us, but to overload you with work?
mdp.39015062475598	But par- don me, madame; my regrets and my memories have, in spite of myself, carried me away; you will excuse me?
mdp.39015062475598	But tell me, shall we not nap the kid the first time we come across her? mdp.39015062475598 But that is most inconceivable atrocity: why should he ruin, why corrupt the unhappy child?
mdp.39015062475598	But the Ogress?
mdp.39015062475598	But the lady?
mdp.39015062475598	But this money, Louise — this money?
mdp.39015062475598	But what can we do? mdp.39015062475598 But what does the father earn, if he is so very industrious?"
mdp.39015062475598	But what is it?
mdp.39015062475598	But what is the matter, my friend? mdp.39015062475598 But what is this caprice, which makes you act thus against your interest?
mdp.39015062475598	But what said your husband on the day which succeeded this unhappy night?
mdp.39015062475598	But what's your friend like?
mdp.39015062475598	But where does he live, and what is he doing?
mdp.39015062475598	But where shall we go?
mdp.39015062475598	But who will lead me?
mdp.39015062475598	But who, then, is that man? mdp.39015062475598 But whose small paw have I hold of here?
mdp.39015062475598	But why did Goubin's wife hide herself in the daytime?
mdp.39015062475598	But you are astonished at my interest for this poor lost girl, are you not?
mdp.39015062475598	But you ran the risk of his not employing you again?
mdp.39015062475598	But your family?
mdp.39015062475598	But your parents?
mdp.39015062475598	But your reputation?
mdp.39015062475598	By the way,said Rudolf to the Owl,"is it true that you know the parents of Goualeuse?"
mdp.39015062475598	Can not your highness accomplish the task you have im- fn> i«d upon yourself, without incurring so much personal dan-|
mdp.39015062475598	Can that be the truth?
mdp.39015062475598	Castles in the air?
mdp.39015062475598	Certainly not; but how was it?
mdp.39015062475598	Chance is sometimes very singular, your highness, is it not?
mdp.39015062475598	Come, come, neighbor,said Rudolf;"are you losing yous senses?"
mdp.39015062475598	Come, now, ai n't you going to sweeten us with one of your little squalls?
mdp.39015062475598	Come, now, will you be quiet?
mdp.39015062475598	Come, what did you hope?
mdp.39015062475598	David doubtless married Cecily on reaching Europe?
mdp.39015062475598	Did I not tell you that you should have'them, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	Did you see, in the place we have just left — for I know you again — did you see the person whom the charcoal- man came in search of?
mdp.39015062475598	Do I understand? mdp.39015062475598 Do n't you know that she must be the same in everything as her sister Marie?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do they know Red Arm?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you find her sufficiently instructed, M. le Cure\ to admin- ister to her that sacrament which, doubtless, the unfortunate girl has not received?'' mdp.39015062475598 Do you hear their barker?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you hesitate?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you intend to assassinate him, then?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you know where the Schoolmaster is, my fine fellow?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you know, Morel, what he gave her to drink?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you know, your highness, what always prevented me from feeling resentment against my father? mdp.39015062475598 Do you mean to say that you have not a little secret of the heart?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you remember that?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you see, young man — do you see? — she burns already to be at it.
mdp.39015062475598	Do you understand household affairs — are you clever at making purchases?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you wish us to do business together, or not?
mdp.39015062475598	Does it not so? mdp.39015062475598 Does she look as if she were poor?"
mdp.39015062475598	Does that surprise you? mdp.39015062475598 Does that surprise you?"
mdp.39015062475598	Eh?
mdp.39015062475598	Five hundred francs?
mdp.39015062475598	Fleur- de- Marie, why is this?
mdp.39015062475598	For everything?
mdp.39015062475598	For fear of the prison?
mdp.39015062475598	For what good, Sir Walter? mdp.39015062475598 For what has she been confined?"
mdp.39015062475598	For what purpose do you make this remark to me, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	For what purpose?
mdp.39015062475598	From whom?
mdp.39015062475598	Give them to me?
mdp.39015062475598	God bless me I whatever is the matter with you? mdp.39015062475598 Good, Madame Pipelet; I close with your terms of six francs the month; and if the apartment suits me what will be the rent of that?"
mdp.39015062475598	Good- day, old friend,said Red Arm, addressing the School- master, in a sharp, squeaking voice,"What can I do for you?"
mdp.39015062475598	Good?
mdp.39015062475598	Had you never seen him before?
mdp.39015062475598	Has the one- eyed woman been here for me?
mdp.39015062475598	Have I not my room in the Rue du Temple?
mdp.39015062475598	Have you not always been my adviser since good Doctor Poli- dori referred me to you? mdp.39015062475598 Have you often such thoughts as these, Goualeuse?"
mdp.39015062475598	Have you then so much regretted him?
mdp.39015062475598	He defended you?
mdp.39015062475598	He did not give a written answer?
mdp.39015062475598	He is a military man, then?
mdp.39015062475598	He is the man I mean,said Lady Sarah,"Is he?"
mdp.39015062475598	He is wounded?
mdp.39015062475598	He sleeps,said the doctor, sadly:"his respiration is labored"Still in danger?"
mdp.39015062475598	He will leave here — free?
mdp.39015062475598	Here we are, arrived at last, Fleur- de- Marie,said Rudolf:*'does the farm please you?"
mdp.39015062475598	His labor must be very ill paid, then?
mdp.39015062475598	His photo? mdp.39015062475598 How can I protect him against that?
mdp.39015062475598	How could the man whom you saw at the drinking den with fhe disguised female be in communication with these two wretches?
mdp.39015062475598	How did he come that?
mdp.39015062475598	How did you come it?
mdp.39015062475598	How did you get away from the timber- yard?
mdp.39015062475598	How did you get out of the scrape, poor Goualeuse?
mdp.39015062475598	How do you know that, Chalomel?
mdp.39015062475598	How does this forgery affect me?
mdp.39015062475598	How is that?
mdp.39015062475598	How is this?
mdp.39015062475598	How much do you earn a- day?
mdp.39015062475598	How murh can you earn at the crank if you stick close to it?
mdp.39015062475598	How now?
mdp.39015062475598	How old is this daughter?
mdp.39015062475598	How so, your highness?
mdp.39015062475598	How so? mdp.39015062475598 How so?"
mdp.39015062475598	How, in the name of the law?
mdp.39015062475598	How, man of iron, you relent?
mdp.39015062475598	How, nothing more simple? mdp.39015062475598 How?"
mdp.39015062475598	I am not such a flat as that comes to, Young'un; but why have I a woman whose name is Finetta?
mdp.39015062475598	I can comprehend it; but what could we do? mdp.39015062475598 I do not know this Cabrion,"said the officer, impatiently"Does Jerome Morel, working- lapidary, live in this house?''
mdp.39015062475598	I have loitered, have I not, sir? mdp.39015062475598 I said those whom your absence will drive to despair, my dear Cle'mence,"resumed Sarah;*'do you not thank me for my discretion?"
mdp.39015062475598	I should not have stolen bread, for fear of getting my allowance, eh? mdp.39015062475598 I thought that the grand- duchess did not leave vou any child?"
mdp.39015062475598	I will not say so any more, La Louve; but since you have shown some interest for me, you will let me be grateful to you for it, will you not?
mdp.39015062475598	I've been robbed, and—- —"And is that your Owly's fault? mdp.39015062475598 I, ill?"
mdp.39015062475598	If I wanted to whistle the traps down on you, what's to pre- vent me from doing so this evening?
mdp.39015062475598	If he loved me, should he have sacrificed me his selfish- ness? mdp.39015062475598 If you now abandon me, what would become of me?"
mdp.39015062475598	In short, sir, what do they want?
mdp.39015062475598	In the eyes of all your husband ought to appear still more happy than you do, since be possesses you; yet is he not also much to be pitied? mdp.39015062475598 Is he hard of hearing?"
mdp.39015062475598	Is hell unchained against me to- day?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it a long time since you have seen them?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it long since you became a boarder with the Ogress, my poor girl?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it not about this time that he came to live here?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it not? mdp.39015062475598 Is it possible?"
mdp.39015062475598	Is it true there is money in the pocket- book which they have given me?
mdp.39015062475598	Is she not charming? mdp.39015062475598 Is that slender gentleman, with moustaches, M. Rudolf then?"
mdp.39015062475598	Is the entrance difficult?'' mdp.39015062475598 It is not far from here, then, that your grandmother has fallen?"
mdp.39015062475598	It is; but why remark it now?
mdp.39015062475598	It was very neat,said Rudolf;"but what then?"
mdp.39015062475598	It will be long ere I forget the happiness of to- day?
mdp.39015062475598	Just imagine — about two hours since, master came in here like a madman:'Germain is not here?' mdp.39015062475598 Let me see: this place is our rendezvous; will you do me the favor to grant me an audience in four days?"
mdp.39015062475598	Louise?
mdp.39015062475598	M. Cabrion, has he been here?
mdp.39015062475598	M. Jacques Fer- rand, who lives in the Rue du Sentier?
mdp.39015062475598	Madame Seraphin is in your service, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	Made his escape, and not denounced?
mdp.39015062475598	May we uncork before her?
mdp.39015062475598	Me, my poor boy? mdp.39015062475598 Me?
mdp.39015062475598	Monsieur who?
mdp.39015062475598	Mother Burette has no other trade, I suppose?
mdp.39015062475598	Mother, do n't you hear? mdp.39015062475598 My dear Madame Pipelet, will you do me a great service?"
mdp.39015062475598	My fault?
mdp.39015062475598	My parents? mdp.39015062475598 My pretty girl,"said Bourdin, approaching RigoletJ?>,"you're cool, you must try to make this poor man listen to rf'm, Ms 272 THE EXECUTION.
mdp.39015062475598	Night or day, what is the difference to him?
mdp.39015062475598	Ninety- six francs ten sous; but what's that to yon, mylad?| Are you going to do the grand, and stump it for her?
mdp.39015062475598	Not go back to Paris? mdp.39015062475598 Now then, Squaller,"said the Knifer,"are you not wolfi\ yet?"
mdp.39015062475598	Now, then,said the driver of the hackney- coach,"now for the crib at Bouqueval: that's the ticket, ai n't it, Owl?"
mdp.39015062475598	Number 17, Allee des Veuves, is n't it, my man?
mdp.39015062475598	Of course, sir; how can you be on neighborly terms without? mdp.39015062475598 Of what is she accused?"
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, I forgive you,said Rudolf, smiling; he added:"Has M. Murphy shown you over this house?"
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, can it be possible?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, dear, what have I done to you?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, is that it?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, sir, can it be possible? mdp.39015062475598 Oh, that's your little game, is it?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, you are coming the bounce, are you? mdp.39015062475598 Oh, you are going to shut him up somewhere?"
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, you want to trick me out of it, do you?
mdp.39015062475598	On what security, madam?
mdp.39015062475598	Perhaps you can tell us whether this is really the door of the strong- box?
mdp.39015062475598	Plenty of flowers in your-vindow?
mdp.39015062475598	Pray tell us all about it?
mdp.39015062475598	Really, you think so?
mdp.39015062475598	Red Arm? mdp.39015062475598 Rudolf what?"
mdp.39015062475598	Saved up, neighbor? mdp.39015062475598 Shall I accompany you, madame?"
mdp.39015062475598	Shall I take two sheep into the slaughter- house, master?
mdp.39015062475598	She has told you of them?
mdp.39015062475598	She is, then, a country girl?
mdp.39015062475598	Shocking, is n't it — if it was true? mdp.39015062475598 Since then, you have always remained in Nor- mandy?"
mdp.39015062475598	Since you possess the sum I ask for, sir, and my guarantee is sufficient, why do you refuse me?
mdp.39015062475598	Sir,said the Commander, angrily,"what is the meaning of this?"
mdp.39015062475598	So he's been paired- off with his mate in his time?
mdp.39015062475598	So long?
mdp.39015062475598	So you have had a painter lodging with you?
mdp.39015062475598	So you know?
mdp.39015062475598	So,said the Knifer,"you danced instead of eating, when you did not pick up a trifle?''
mdp.39015062475598	Speak, ca n't you, my blade?
mdp.39015062475598	Stop a moment; who might you want, madame?
mdp.39015062475598	Suppose, during the time, I bring my papers to your room?
mdp.39015062475598	Take my arm, and let us go to the Temple and buy where- with to clothe the Morels: will that suit you?
mdp.39015062475598	Talking of your husband — is he here this evening? mdp.39015062475598 Tell me now, Lady Macgregor, do n't I marvelously resemble the god Pan, a Naiad, or some sylvan deity, or a savage, under this bunch of foliage?"
mdp.39015062475598	Tell me, La Louve,continued Fleur- de- Marie, after a moment's silence,"do you not sometimes like to build castles in the air here in prison?
mdp.39015062475598	Tell me, why do you look so beseechingly at me? mdp.39015062475598 That is to say, sir, that you demand one day more to re- flect on my propositions?
mdp.39015062475598	That is true, I have always been lucky; but, speaking of M. Germain, where is he now?
mdp.39015062475598	That little red bloke?
mdp.39015062475598	The Schoolmaster will?
mdp.39015062475598	The Temple?
mdp.39015062475598	The day after?
mdp.39015062475598	The notary?
mdp.39015062475598	The proofs are wanting, without doubt?
mdp.39015062475598	The same, sir; do you know him?
mdp.39015062475598	The tradesman who is going to employ me?
mdp.39015062475598	Then he is not recognizable?
mdp.39015062475598	Then the lady did not get out?
mdp.39015062475598	Then they were tolerably well off?
mdp.39015062475598	Then what I give you seems to you beyond your hopes?
mdp.39015062475598	Then what should we do:—what would become of us? mdp.39015062475598 Then you are indeed happy?"
mdp.39015062475598	Then you have never thought of marrying?
mdp.39015062475598	Then you never build castles in the air — never dream?'' mdp.39015062475598 Then you never see him now?"
mdp.39015062475598	Then you think there is no hope of interesting your master in my sad fate?
mdp.39015062475598	Then, what are you afraid of?
mdp.39015062475598	Then,said Rudolf to the grisette,"you are not ambitious to possess more than you have?"
mdp.39015062475598	Then,said he to Louise,"you did not dare to com- plain to your father of the odious conduct of the notary?"
mdp.39015062475598	There are a pair on'em; I can manage the girl in the grey cloak, but how are we to do about the other? mdp.39015062475598 There is an unfortunate family her*, then?"
mdp.39015062475598	There is some sense in what you observe; but surely it would be better always to sleep in a good bed?
mdp.39015062475598	They, in conference with the Schoolmaster and the Owl?
mdp.39015062475598	This Jacques Ferrand,continued Rudolf,"is the same law- yer who resides in the Rue du Sentier?"
mdp.39015062475598	This comparison alone is quite a eulogium; but, unfortunately for me, it is much more kind than tr**p. Adieu, madam? mdp.39015062475598 This precaution to make you sign a bill in blank, at such a date that you could not pay it, did not awaken your suspicions?"
mdp.39015062475598	To Abbe'Laporte, perhaps?
mdp.39015062475598	To Red Arm?
mdp.39015062475598	To nip you?
mdp.39015062475598	To what pleasures — what passions — could the notary,said they,"sacrifice the confidence which was shown him?
mdp.39015062475598	Trouble our master? mdp.39015062475598 Unfortunate, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	Until that time, who had taken care of you?
mdp.39015062475598	Very intellectual, then?
mdp.39015062475598	Was he the last occupant of the apartment that I am about to take?
mdp.39015062475598	Was she dishonored to save you?
mdp.39015062475598	Was she not married some fifteen years ago? mdp.39015062475598 Was she very handsome?"
mdp.39015062475598	We are the officers who are to take you, if we can; do you understand now, old fellow? mdp.39015062475598 We will go to your home; say, Knifer?"
mdp.39015062475598	Well then, my girl, why should not a black doctor be as good as a white one?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, David, and how is Murphy?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, and what did he do?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, and what have you to regret in all this?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, little white- face, do you hear me?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, my brick, what can I serve you with?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, my kind- hearted lady?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, now, my dear, what has happened to you?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, scapegrace, what do you want?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, sir, what are you in such a brown study about?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, then, if you are not, why do you say madamoiselle to me? mdp.39015062475598 Well, then,"said the Ogress, turning to the other,"what will you have for supper, you bad lot?"
mdp.39015062475598	Well, what ails you?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, what is it about?
mdp.39015062475598	Well, what then?
mdp.39015062475598	Well,said he,"Chalomel, have you finished all your errands?"
mdp.39015062475598	Well?
mdp.39015062475598	Well?
mdp.39015062475598	Were they alone here?
mdp.39015062475598	Were you not awakened very early?
mdp.39015062475598	What after this, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	What ails you, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	What ails you? mdp.39015062475598 What are you going to do to- night?"
mdp.39015062475598	What are you thinking of, my child? mdp.39015062475598 What can she tell me?
mdp.39015062475598	What can you mean, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	What could be the meaning of these words?
mdp.39015062475598	What could they mean? mdp.39015062475598 What did you hear him say?"
mdp.39015062475598	What do you mean by edified you?
mdp.39015062475598	What do you mean by sticking your Red Arm under my nose? mdp.39015062475598 What do you mean to say, madame?"
mdp.39015062475598	What do you say? mdp.39015062475598 What do you want then?"
mdp.39015062475598	What do you want to make of it?
mdp.39015062475598	What do you want, Claudine?
mdp.39015062475598	What do you want?
mdp.39015062475598	What does he sell?
mdp.39015062475598	What does that p„ove? mdp.39015062475598 What does the old polecat want?"
mdp.39015062475598	What else is there?
mdp.39015062475598	What fears?
mdp.39015062475598	What for?
mdp.39015062475598	What good could it do the wretch to carry off your son fifteen years ago, when, as you told me, he was trying to escape into a foreign land? mdp.39015062475598 What good is vengeance?"
mdp.39015062475598	What good will it do to know what she is accused of?
mdp.39015062475598	What have you got in that old handkerchief?
mdp.39015062475598	What is Red Arm's address in that street?
mdp.39015062475598	What is his trade?
mdp.39015062475598	What is it?
mdp.39015062475598	What is it?
mdp.39015062475598	What is that to me? mdp.39015062475598 What is the matter with you, my good man?"
mdp.39015062475598	What is the matter?
mdp.39015062475598	What is the name of the family?
mdp.39015062475598	What is to be done?
mdp.39015062475598	What is your plan of action, young man?' mdp.39015062475598 What made you say that I had prigged your couters?"
mdp.39015062475598	What next?
mdp.39015062475598	What next?
mdp.39015062475598	What say you to this noble hotel, young man?
mdp.39015062475598	What say^ your highness?
mdp.39015062475598	What shall be said to the woman? mdp.39015062475598 What the devil do you want with your pistols?"
mdp.39015062475598	What the devil made you blab out which way we were going before those gaping fools?
mdp.39015062475598	What then are your plans?
mdp.39015062475598	What then ensued?
mdp.39015062475598	What was he sent up for?
mdp.39015062475598	What was your trade?
mdp.39015062475598	What were you doing there?
mdp.39015062475598	What wonder, sir? mdp.39015062475598 What would become of the mystery?
mdp.39015062475598	What would you have me do? mdp.39015062475598 What's his pertickler lay?"
mdp.39015062475598	What's the Bleeding Heart? — an odd sign for a wine- shop,asked Rudolf.''
mdp.39015062475598	What's the matter? mdp.39015062475598 What's the use of separating?
mdp.39015062475598	What, Owl? mdp.39015062475598 What, because I tell you that you may fall ill?"
mdp.39015062475598	What, in the devil's name can this mean?
mdp.39015062475598	What, then, do you mean to do to me? mdp.39015062475598 What, you too, Knifer, alone?"
mdp.39015062475598	What, you too? mdp.39015062475598 What?
mdp.39015062475598	What?
mdp.39015062475598	When I say they drank with him, I am wrong — they scarce wetted their lips with the wine and"But I asked you what they said to the Knifer?
mdp.39015062475598	When you left prison?
mdp.39015062475598	When you said'who knows,'then you hoped?
mdp.39015062475598	Where are the bills?
mdp.39015062475598	Where are the hundred thousand francs, your grace?
mdp.39015062475598	Where are you going to, my dear banker?
mdp.39015062475598	Where can I engage a cart to carry the things?'' mdp.39015062475598 Where did you first meet Martial?"
mdp.39015062475598	Where have you been, my child?
mdp.39015062475598	Where is Crook?
mdp.39015062475598	Where is he now? mdp.39015062475598 Where is he?
mdp.39015062475598	Where is she? mdp.39015062475598 Where is that?"
mdp.39015062475598	Where is your son?
mdp.39015062475598	Where shall we go?'' mdp.39015062475598 Where the devil is he gone to?"
mdp.39015062475598	Where would be the merit of giving it to me if I were the strongest?
mdp.39015062475598	Where would you have me live? mdp.39015062475598 Which way, master?"
mdp.39015062475598	Who are you, and what do you want?
mdp.39015062475598	Who brought you up, then, Goualeuse?
mdp.39015062475598	Who can come so late?
mdp.39015062475598	Who dragged me from that dreadful cavern where I seemed already drowned? mdp.39015062475598 Who gave you such ideas?"
mdp.39015062475598	Who is it?
mdp.39015062475598	Who is it?' mdp.39015062475598 Who is she with?"
mdp.39015062475598	Who is this Louise?
mdp.39015062475598	Who lives on the sec- ond floor?
mdp.39015062475598	Who told you this?
mdp.39015062475598	Who touches me?
mdp.39015062475598	Who was the gentleman?
mdp.39015062475598	Why alone, since I am not going out?
mdp.39015062475598	Why do n't you look at my master, girl?
mdp.39015062475598	Why do you ask those questions, neighbor? mdp.39015062475598 Why do you treat me so?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why else do I hold the appointment of Coalheaver in Ordi- nary to his royal highness?
mdp.39015062475598	Why mention her?
mdp.39015062475598	Why not strike in for a prize at once for honoring your father and mother, whom you never knew?
mdp.39015062475598	Why not? mdp.39015062475598 Why not?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why should n't the yokels snatch as well as other folks? mdp.39015062475598 Why, if the proprietor does not return until the day after to- morrow?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why, my poor man,said he,"I did not suppose you were so utterly without resources?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why, what's the matter now?
mdp.39015062475598	Why, you only owe thirteen hundred francs?
mdp.39015062475598	Why?
mdp.39015062475598	Why?
mdp.39015062475598	Why?
mdp.39015062475598	Why?
mdp.39015062475598	Will his grace sign also?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you button up your lip, and do as I bid you?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you explain to me the meaning of all this?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you let me live?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you pardon me?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you read your notes to me, my dear De Graun? mdp.39015062475598 Will you strike a bargain?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you, then, be insensible? mdp.39015062475598 Will you?
mdp.39015062475598	With a sweetheart, my lass?
mdp.39015062475598	With all this, you are not unhappy?
mdp.39015062475598	With perfect confidence? mdp.39015062475598 Without buttons each side of him?"
mdp.39015062475598	Working jeweler?
mdp.39015062475598	Would you like something better than a sassinger, my girl?' mdp.39015062475598 Would you like to spend the day in the country with me, my child?"
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, I dream of my chimney- ornaments; besides them, what can I desire?
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, although Rosette is black; but, what can the difference be, as to the milk, whether the cow be black, red, or white?
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, but I — can't go this evening"Really? mdp.39015062475598 Yes, but at what price has he foregone his threats?
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, indeed, M. Murphy; but what else do you expect? mdp.39015062475598 Yes, my bold fellow — it belongs to a friend of mine; will you have a look over it, while our horse fetches breath?
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, neighbor, but as they are no longer in want, you surely will not refuse to allow them to repay you?
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, sir; do you know him?
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, yes, what is it? mdp.39015062475598 Yes,"said Rudolf, throwing five louis on the Ogress's coun- ter;"and now what's your price for the duds she wears?"
mdp.39015062475598	Yes; does this woman often come here?
mdp.39015062475598	Yet you feared to be disfigured by that horrible woman? mdp.39015062475598 You are Jerome Morel, her father?
mdp.39015062475598	You are angry?
mdp.39015062475598	You are going to murder me, then? mdp.39015062475598 You are not going to let him off?
mdp.39015062475598	You are very kind, sir,said the porter;"but would you like Jo go up and look at the room?"
mdp.39015062475598	You bear no grudge on account of last night? mdp.39015062475598 You came here this morning?"
mdp.39015062475598	You confess it, then?
mdp.39015062475598	You consent nevertheless?
mdp.39015062475598	You dare to say this, madame?
mdp.39015062475598	You do n't belong to this part of the country, then?
mdp.39015062475598	You escaped, then?
mdp.39015062475598	You fought for this?
mdp.39015062475598	You have been hungry, and have suffered from cold, and yet have not stolen?
mdp.39015062475598	You have received no news from Rochefort?
mdp.39015062475598	You have served, then, Knifer?
mdp.39015062475598	You have tumbled into my clutches again, have you? mdp.39015062475598 You know that his son, Prince Henry, has entered as lieuten- ant in the guards of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria?"
mdp.39015062475598	You know where he lives?
mdp.39015062475598	You know which is my wife's room?
mdp.39015062475598	You refuse?
mdp.39015062475598	You said that we had reached the place: where the devil is the ken? mdp.39015062475598 You see now,"said the enraged widow, shaking her fist ir'Goualeuse's face,"did I not tell you there was justice in heaven?"
mdp.39015062475598	You stop here? mdp.39015062475598 You surely will not go there now, under any pretext?
mdp.39015062475598	You suspect me, then?
mdp.39015062475598	You told him that it was not pressing?
mdp.39015062475598	You told us, my good fellow, that you met our friend Rudolf in the house where Red Arm lives?
mdp.39015062475598	You want your change?
mdp.39015062475598	You will accept my chamber, will you not? mdp.39015062475598 You will not regard the cost?"
mdp.39015062475598	You will not tell me, I hope, that a notary like you can not procure a hundred thousand francs any day?
mdp.39015062475598	You will take him away?
mdp.39015062475598	You wo n't wet your whistles to- night, then?
mdp.39015062475598	You would like to know what we were saying just now, would n't you, little mischief?
mdp.39015062475598	You — you — are — can it be? mdp.39015062475598 You'll send her as spy?
mdp.39015062475598	You, the worthy and respectable father of a family, know such people as grisettes? mdp.39015062475598 You?
mdp.39015062475598	Your father's age?
mdp.39015062475598	Your grace will accept all the conditions?
mdp.39015062475598	Your highness lives there? mdp.39015062475598 Your liberty?"
mdp.39015062475598	Your neighbor?
mdp.39015062475598	Your presentiments?
mdp.39015062475598	Your room — your room, my child?
mdp.39015062475598	Your son, no doubt, madame? mdp.39015062475598 fct what hour have you ordered the horses?"
mdp.39015062475598	ht » you acquainted with the premises? mdp.39015062475598 ''Am I not yours to the rope and gibbet, my blade? mdp.39015062475598 ''And if I should not be so happy as I seem?'' mdp.39015062475598 ''But what has time to do with it?
mdp.39015062475598	''Do you know, dear, that your astonishment has almost an air of reproach?"
mdp.39015062475598	''I'm goose- flesh all over?"
mdp.39015062475598	''It is, then, all true?"
mdp.39015062475598	''Madame, I believe there is a room with bed- room to let in this house?"
mdp.39015062475598	''The old woman is shorn?"
mdp.39015062475598	''Well, sir, does your room suit you?"
mdp.39015062475598	''What didhe do with him?"
mdp.39015062475598	''You are not mistaken there; but tell me, how much do I owe you?"
mdp.39015062475598	''You?
mdp.39015062475598	'* And who is she?"
mdp.39015062475598	'* M. Francois Germain, perhaps?"
mdp.39015062475598	'* Tell me, then, Fleur- de- Marie, which would you prefer, that I should remain the Rudolf of yesterday, or be the Rudolf of to- day?"
mdp.39015062475598	'*"The lodge is commonly uninhabited, then, I presume?"
mdp.39015062475598	'*"You felt remorse then?"
mdp.39015062475598	'- Do you mean to get rid of the girl and the old woman?
mdp.39015062475598	'All alone?'
mdp.39015062475598	'And how much will satisfy you for that?'
mdp.39015062475598	'And where are they going to lodge at this late hour?'
mdp.39015062475598	'And where did you come from?'
mdp.39015062475598	'And where to?'
mdp.39015062475598	'Do not send me away in the state in which I am; whai will become of me?
mdp.39015062475598	'Is it far off?'
mdp.39015062475598	'To where I came from?'
mdp.39015062475598	'Twenty francs a month, porter?
mdp.39015062475598	'Well?'
mdp.39015062475598	'What do you do in my yard, you little thief?'
mdp.39015062475598	'What do you want here?'
mdp.39015062475598	'Why have you changed your mind so quickly?
mdp.39015062475598	'Why not?
mdp.39015062475598	'You do not comprehend me, then?'
mdp.39015062475598	'• What are you thinking of?"
mdp.39015062475598	* And where will you go?"
mdp.39015062475598	* What's that to you?'
mdp.39015062475598	*"''What can it be about?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'And had you no one in whom you could confide?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'And his name?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'And she appears interesting to you?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'And what's that little blue thing?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'And why did you want to get this poor widow and her chil- dren driven away?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'But your wife — your son?
mdp.39015062475598	*'Did you see that?
mdp.39015062475598	*'Faith, my boy, the way was long, and the cold sharp; were they not?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'How am I to know that you will give me anything at all when the job is done?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'How can I show my gratitude?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'How much?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'If M. Red Arm is only lessee,*'said he,"may I ask who the proprietor is?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'Is he wounded?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'Is it indeed true, sir?
mdp.39015062475598	*'Madame Morel, do you hear?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'Runs the preventives off their pins; he's a smug- gu- lar, I suppose you would say; but it seems you ca n't patter flash?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'See how they drag in the dirt all that I had collected with so much trouble; what good can it do them?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'Sorry that your punishment was altered?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'To strike you?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'What is his name?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'Why not, my child?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'Why so?"
mdp.39015062475598	*'You have been there?"
mdp.39015062475598	** Why so?"
mdp.39015062475598	-'Doubtless they are not, M. le Cure', but where are they to be sought?
mdp.39015062475598	-'What does she do beside?"
mdp.39015062475598	17—we are at 13 now; shall we stop too?"
mdp.39015062475598	20?
mdp.39015062475598	22J unless you assist me?
mdp.39015062475598	25?
mdp.39015062475598	267"I am that person; you annoy me — what do you want?
mdp.39015062475598	269 away Morel; what do you think will become of me, with my five children, and my idiot mother?
mdp.39015062475598	283 even a. place whdic better things are to be had than at the Temple?"
mdp.39015062475598	287 oompelling us to do that which we now do willingly?
mdp.39015062475598	291"At eighteen years of age, leading the life I do, how can that be possible?
mdp.39015062475598	31?
mdp.39015062475598	321 your trunk ready?'
mdp.39015062475598	353 Saint- Remy your relation?
mdp.39015062475598	39 you've got any rings?
mdp.39015062475598	6;"Your name, sir, if you please?"
mdp.39015062475598	71"If you have any such idea, let us give up the job at once; I will have no hand in hanging- jobs — so do n't rely on me""But if he awakes?"
mdp.39015062475598	A girl, quite alone and well, can live respectably on thirty sous a day?
mdp.39015062475598	A last service I ask of you, sir,"said Louise, drawing out the rouleau of gold from her pocket;"will you hand this money to M. Ger- main?
mdp.39015062475598	A saint of a man, eh?
mdp.39015062475598	A servant entered, and said to Cle'mence,"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Gerolstein asks if your ladyship will receive him?"
mdp.39015062475598	A sudden idea seemed to strike Lady Sarah, and she said to the ruffian,''Would you earn some money?"
mdp.39015062475598	After a moment's pause, Ferrand said, with a severe tone,"Are you acquainted, sir, with the duties of a notary?"
mdp.39015062475598	After a moment's silence, he resumed:"And will five thousand francs be sufficient, David?"
mdp.39015062475598	After contemplating him for a few moments, the lady said, in English, to her companion:"Do you know this man?"
mdp.39015062475598	After having looked at him for a moment in silence, he said to the viscount, in a rough, short tone,"Where is the money?"
mdp.39015062475598	Age? — look at my beard.
mdp.39015062475598	Ai n't he a flat?
mdp.39015062475598	Albert?
mdp.39015062475598	Alfred,( after having wiped his mouth with the back of his hand) opened his eyes, stood up, and asked, ih a trembling voice:"Have you seen Cabrion?"
mdp.39015062475598	All of a sudden the brute cried out, thrusting me from him as if he had clutched a spider,'What the devil have I here?'
mdp.39015062475598	Am I not a happy husband, Mother Bouvard?"
mdp.39015062475598	Am I not under an illusion?"
mdp.39015062475598	And does she not even gain by contrast with the severer beauty of the lady who accompanies her?"
mdp.39015062475598	And next, have you equally good information about the Schoolmaster, boy?"
mdp.39015062475598	And she would be well worthy this confidence, even were it an unpaid money- letter — would n't she, Alfred?"
mdp.39015062475598	And the coffin!.—who will give us credit?
mdp.39015062475598	And the female pawnbroker, has she been more charitable?''
mdp.39015062475598	And then, I tell you, they can not imagine such misery; how can they understand privations they never felt?
mdp.39015062475598	And this woman?"
mdp.39015062475598	And when shall I be allowed to display this penetration, this skill, you imagine I possess?"
mdp.39015062475598	And when she comes what must I do?"
mdp.39015062475598	And where the devil did you get that?
mdp.39015062475598	And you did not even leave yourself a few sous to live upon whilst you sought work?"
mdp.39015062475598	And you know the ins and outs of the crib?"
mdp.39015062475598	And you, Fleur- de- Marie?"
mdp.39015062475598	And you, M. Rudolf, what is it you sigh for?"
mdp.39015062475598	And your dear friend, De Lucenay, who was with you a witness of D'Harville's marriage?"
mdp.39015062475598	And, you little monkey, do you hear?
mdp.39015062475598	Apropos, have you heard from him?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are charitable souls so rare in Paris?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are we not in his toils, as you constantly remind me?
mdp.39015062475598	Are you agree- able, Goualeuse?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are you content now?
mdp.39015062475598	Are you dumb?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are you ignorant of it?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are you sent from hell to?"
mdp.39015062475598	Are you still cross with your old woman?''
mdp.39015062475598	Are you still troubled with that wretched bark?"
mdp.39015062475598	As he spoke thus, the lapidary pressed his hand to his forehe?
mdp.39015062475598	At length turning to Pipelet, he inquired —"Has M. Bradamanti long resided in this house?"
mdp.39015062475598	At sight of Rudolf, the portress inquired in a surly tone the reg- ular challenge:"Where are you going?"
mdp.39015062475598	At the risk of opening afresh Alfred's wounds, Rudolf said, pointing to the door:"That, I suppose, is the work of M. Cab- rion?
mdp.39015062475598	Be patient; I am bringing you help?"
mdp.39015062475598	Bear malice?
mdp.39015062475598	Because they drink milk, and gather grass for their rabbits?"
mdp.39015062475598	Bradamanti?"
mdp.39015062475598	But I have not yet done: have you gained any tidings relating to Marquis d'Harville?"
mdp.39015062475598	But I think I can guess — the School- master?"
mdp.39015062475598	But I want an answer to my question: Why did you ask Knifer to meet you at Saint Ouen?"
mdp.39015062475598	But admitting this, will I not turn everything into money, in a situation so desperate?
mdp.39015062475598	But are you in with Red Ann, be- ing as you were in the alley to his crib?"
mdp.39015062475598	But at the time oi v/ hich you speak, what did her grace of Lucenay say about this man?"
mdp.39015062475598	But because my heart is unpossessed by another, will it the more be his?
mdp.39015062475598	But can not I at least offer my thanks to this saviour of the unhappy?"
mdp.39015062475598	But had this affair no result?"
mdp.39015062475598	But he's promised to teach me that move, and to""What sort of a man is Red Arm?"
mdp.39015062475598	But how do you know that your master had rat- poison for men?"
mdp.39015062475598	But how is it that the master who employed you before your accident has done nothing for you?"
mdp.39015062475598	But how should he send it to its destination?
mdp.39015062475598	But how? — we have nothing!
mdp.39015062475598	But in what capacity did your father introduce Madame Roland to the neighborhood?"
mdp.39015062475598	But mother, have you then no pity?"
mdp.39015062475598	But shall I not have the pleasure of seeing Lord d'Harville this evening?"
mdp.39015062475598	But tell me, have I any need to see your M. Red Arm about the hiring of this apartment?"
mdp.39015062475598	But tell me, your highness, was this the life I had a right to expect?
mdp.39015062475598	But the facts you have gathered; have you them with you?"
mdp.39015062475598	But then, glancing round him, he exclaimed,"But my wife, and her mother, and my poor children — who will support them?
mdp.39015062475598	But this young woman?"
mdp.39015062475598	But what ails you, comrade?—I mean to say, Master Rudolf?
mdp.39015062475598	But what ails you?
mdp.39015062475598	But what do I say?
mdp.39015062475598	But what harm have I ever done to all these persons who threaten and surround me?"
mdp.39015062475598	But what is my silly old head running upon?"
mdp.39015062475598	But what is the matter with you, my dear girl?
mdp.39015062475598	But what must I do for peace?
mdp.39015062475598	But what must J do to obtain her liberty?
mdp.39015062475598	But where have you sprung from?
mdp.39015062475598	But who are you, I say?
mdp.39015062475598	But who are you, then?
mdp.39015062475598	But who can distinguish the false from the real?
mdp.39015062475598	But who rang the bell?"
mdp.39015062475598	But who, then, could be this scented and emblazoned correspondent of La Pipelet?
mdp.39015062475598	But why this vivacity?"
mdp.39015062475598	But with my cabbage- leaf I shall smoke you like bloats; suppose I open a window?"
mdp.39015062475598	But you do not, I hope, think I was in prison for any crime?"
mdp.39015062475598	But, my poor wife, how do you feel now?"
mdp.39015062475598	But, see, your royal highness, is not yonder an enchanting young woman?
mdp.39015062475598	But, sir, we will very soon pay you the remainder; this is a pretty good sum on account — is it not, father?"
mdp.39015062475598	But, tell me frankly, is there no particular spot in the country you wish to visit?"
mdp.39015062475598	Ca n't you see clear?
mdp.39015062475598	Call the nabs?
mdp.39015062475598	Can there be in the world an existence more wretched than his?
mdp.39015062475598	Certain it is, that my work would be neglected, and what would become of me then?
mdp.39015062475598	Claire, may not be tainted because she kindly called me her friend — her sister?
mdp.39015062475598	Clemence, astonished at the almost jesting tone in which he spoke, looked at Rudolf with surprise, and said:''How so, your highness?"
mdp.39015062475598	Commander?
mdp.39015062475598	Could the marchioness have been taken by the face of this silly fellow, which was said to be very handsome?
mdp.39015062475598	Cut your company, partner?
mdp.39015062475598	D'Harville knew me to be compassionate; why did he not candidly tell me the whole truth, and throw himself on my kindness and gener- osity?''
mdp.39015062475598	Debreuil, wife of the farmer to the Duke de Lucenay, at Arnouville, came to spend some time here with her daughter?"
mdp.39015062475598	Denis?"
mdp.39015062475598	Did I not tell you to show her up?'
mdp.39015062475598	Did I not tell you, sir, that she was watching us?"
mdp.39015062475598	Did n't I pay that to you, Anastasia?"
mdp.39015062475598	Did she not cause the death of his daughter by her indifference?
mdp.39015062475598	Did you not hear what was said?
mdp.39015062475598	Did you not hear, then?
mdp.39015062475598	Did you see him?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do I know how?
mdp.39015062475598	Do n't you agree with me, Alfred?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do n't you see he's com- ing the artful?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do n't you think so?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you come here to weep, to soften me?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you dare to in- voke the law?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you grumble?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you hear, Mister Sideways?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you know him?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you know that for these six weeks I have not been farther than the flower- market?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you know the time?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you not see how she weeps, how she trembles in look- ing at you?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you regret having come with me?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you see him often?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you still sulk with your dearie?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you suppose that for your sport I shall jump at the Schoolmaster like a bull- dog?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you think I will expose Finetta to the risk of catching cold; endanger her precious life, and spoil her new shawl?"
mdp.39015062475598	Do you think if 1 had your belt, I should have been fool enough to remain with you, after I had done the trick?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you think that for myself alone I should slave as I do?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you think that one could, in cold blood, hear one's self accused of having a cough?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you un- derstand?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you understand the words you utter so fearfully?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you understand, my man?
mdp.39015062475598	Do you understand?"
mdp.39015062475598	Doctor?
mdp.39015062475598	Does this lawyer desire the death of all of us?"
mdp.39015062475598	Does your highness know this man?"
mdp.39015062475598	Even if Louise could earn in another place twenty francs a month, how could seven persons live upon that?"
mdp.39015062475598	For mercy's sake what ails you?"
mdp.39015062475598	For what good, your highness?"
mdp.39015062475598	For what interest should I say your child is dead, if she were not?"
mdp.39015062475598	For what would you punish her?—by what authority?
mdp.39015062475598	From the death of your mother till the birth of your daughter, what devouring griefs, what hidden sorrows have you not endured?
mdp.39015062475598	George, seating herself on the bed, and kissing her forehead,"how do you feel yourself this morning?"
mdp.39015062475598	George. “"But how came it, that the D’Harville family allowed a scion of their family to marry this villain Duresnel?"
mdp.39015062475598	Germain?"
mdp.39015062475598	Hac nothing been noised about?
mdp.39015062475598	Had I not then a strong additional motive for securing you when I had detected* vho you were?
mdp.39015062475598	Had her husband suspicious of her misconduct — misconduct which, probably, was the sole cause of the misery by which he was devoured?
mdp.39015062475598	Hand over the ripping chisel and the jemmy'""The tools?"
mdp.39015062475598	Happy are those who can have their children with them, and guard them from dangers; but who will defend the working- girl? — no one.
mdp.39015062475598	Has anything new happened here?"
mdp.39015062475598	Has he the right to use the wealth to destroy, corrupt, and make desolate those he would devote to ruin?"
mdp.39015062475598	Has your master given you leave?''
mdp.39015062475598	Have I done aught to grieve you?"
mdp.39015062475598	Have I not the right?
mdp.39015062475598	Have I time for that?"
mdp.39015062475598	Have I to»ched to the quick in shooting at random?
mdp.39015062475598	Have they not got his description?"
mdp.39015062475598	Have you no more than that, my little dear?"
mdp.39015062475598	Have you not partaken of mine?
mdp.39015062475598	Have you paid fen them?"
mdp.39015062475598	Have you so soon forgotten my reproaches, just now, for( he same fault?
mdp.39015062475598	He does not know how to walk; he will get run over in the street With your leave, I'll lead him to some place where he can at least be quiet?"
mdp.39015062475598	He resolved to warn Rudolf of the danger which threatened him; but how was he to do so?
mdp.39015062475598	Here is your receipt; is it right?"
mdp.39015062475598	His hideous face was there, close to the window, looking at me with his cat's eyes — what do I say? — tiger's eyes! — just as in my dream.
mdp.39015062475598	His wrongs toward you are great, but is he not frightfully punished?
mdp.39015062475598	How are you now?
mdp.39015062475598	How arrest you, when our guardian angel restores you to us, to console us for the death of my little Adele?
mdp.39015062475598	How can I do it?
mdp.39015062475598	How can she do that?
mdp.39015062475598	How can such a handsome countenance be other than the reflection of a noble mind?
mdp.39015062475598	How can we manage to procure instantly all I wish for the Morels?"
mdp.39015062475598	How can you, a mother, allow such thoughts of your child to find utterance?
mdp.39015062475598	How could I possibly, at the very moment when Ills eyes swam in tears, be so cruel as to show any suspicion with reference to the past?
mdp.39015062475598	How did you discover the cavern?
mdp.39015062475598	How do you think I shall do, since I have no money to buy anything?"
mdp.39015062475598	How far it is from Pierrefitte to Saint Ouen?"
mdp.39015062475598	How foresee the consequences of the first attack on the reputation of Jacques Ferrand?
mdp.39015062475598	How is the lodge furnished at the present moment?"
mdp.39015062475598	How much is it?"
mdp.39015062475598	How much is necessary to terminate these miserable, shuffling tricks?"
mdp.39015062475598	How much?"
mdp.39015062475598	How shall I find my way in the streets?
mdp.39015062475598	How simple all that is — eh?
mdp.39015062475598	How will she manage to get out there?"
mdp.39015062475598	However, before I look at the room, I should like to know if you, madame, can take charge of my little affairs?
mdp.39015062475598	I answer for Louise, I — she is my daughter, my worthy of daughter — is it not true, Louise?
mdp.39015062475598	I fear this meet- ing with the Knifer has been disagreeable to you; is it not so? — we were very happy before.
mdp.39015062475598	I have a confused recollection of having heard the Knifer's voice: was I mistaken?"
mdp.39015062475598	I have a right t,- put my own price on my goods, I suppose?"
mdp.39015062475598	I owe no one anything; I have courage, health and gaiety; with an agreeable neighbor like yourself, what do I want more?"
mdp.39015062475598	I reached the Bleeding Heart; I collared Red Arm, and said:'Where is the young man who came here this evening with the Schoolmaster?'
mdp.39015062475598	I say again, how much for the rags the poor girl is wearing?"
mdp.39015062475598	I shall be Ul?"
mdp.39015062475598	I shall not go out; pray what are your plans?"
mdp.39015062475598	I understand; then the second- floor lodger lends upon pledges?"
mdp.39015062475598	I was a fool indeed to think of remaining here; I should have had enough in a week of living among these wooden- headed churleys, should n't I, boy?"
mdp.39015062475598	I was wrong, also, in wishing to beat Crooky: I beg your pardon; do you hear?
mdp.39015062475598	I will have — I will""Do n't you wish you may get hold of your wife, eh, old fellow?
mdp.39015062475598	I will only further trouble you for your name?"
mdp.39015062475598	I would say, that the Knifer nearly told me all that the tall gentle- man in mourning, with his two thousand francs, wanted with you,'"Well, well?"
mdp.39015062475598	I'll begin at this moment, if you choose?"
mdp.39015062475598	I'll rout her out and dance the very liver out of""And did she really take out your tooth, my poor girl?
mdp.39015062475598	I'm not strong enough to hold him by myself, and if I should want help, is there anybody near who could hear me?"
mdp.39015062475598	I?
mdp.39015062475598	II?
mdp.39015062475598	If I had yielded to a fatal thought, would he not have been an accomplice of my crime?"
mdp.39015062475598	If he were very good and lov- ing, could I live a moment away from him?
mdp.39015062475598	If it is very cold, so much the better; they say:'How seasonable the weather is?
mdp.39015062475598	If it was hungry you would take the bread out of your own mouth; would you not, La Louve?"
mdp.39015062475598	If it were so, should you not be delighted to be restored to your parents?"
mdp.39015062475598	If you refuse, hov can we manage the mournful duties toward the poor child that is gone?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it a dream?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it because this girl has seen hard times?
mdp.39015062475598	Is it my signature you wish?
mdp.39015062475598	Is n't it, my love?''
mdp.39015062475598	Is not M. Charles Robert a man full of honor, delicacy, and heart?
mdp.39015062475598	Is not M. Ferrand here?"
mdp.39015062475598	Is she not charmingly graceful?
mdp.39015062475598	Is she pretty?"
mdp.39015062475598	Is that what you mean?"
mdp.39015062475598	Isolated, un- happy, how resist the desire of seeking some consolations in a marriage which pleased you?
mdp.39015062475598	It is of no consequence to you, is it?"
mdp.39015062475598	It rained till it rattled again!—no- body came; the night drew on""But,"interrupted Rudolf,"why did you not come into the house?''
mdp.39015062475598	Learning that the companion of her beloved daughter was — what/ was — say, can you blame her maternal indig- nation?"
mdp.39015062475598	Leave the jewels alone, will you?"
mdp.39015062475598	Let me see — how shall I serve her out?'
mdp.39015062475598	Louise, will you speak?"
mdp.39015062475598	M. Rudolf, if my parents never loved me, what good would it be to me to discover them?
mdp.39015062475598	Marie is not seriously ill, I hope?''
mdp.39015062475598	Marie?"
mdp.39015062475598	Mathieu come for the stones you are polishing?"
mdp.39015062475598	Me?"
mdp.39015062475598	Midsummer hares are as mad as March hares; ai n't they, my old darling?"
mdp.39015062475598	Nothing new here, my dear baron?
mdp.39015062475598	Now what do you, who know everything, think of that, Father Chatelain?"
mdp.39015062475598	Now, about this money?"
mdp.39015062475598	Now, is that very likely?
mdp.39015062475598	Of what?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, M. Rudolf, where is my son at this moment?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh, say, is it true?
mdp.39015062475598	Oh?
mdp.39015062475598	On entering the house""You entered the house?
mdp.39015062475598	On my word, I would not mind his beating the news of his recovery upon my back, if that would do him any good — how is he, doctor?"
mdp.39015062475598	Ought I not to have thought that you must have needed a rare courage, a virtue more than human, to act differently from what you did?
mdp.39015062475598	Papers? — here's the discharge of my master, the quarryman.
mdp.39015062475598	Perchance, it is some affair of the heart? ” “ And yet he is said to be strongly attached to his wife; and she gives him no cause for jealousy.
mdp.39015062475598	Perhaps my noble captain would like to try a course of pigeon's milk?"
mdp.39015062475598	Perhaps you'll tell me what all this means?''
mdp.39015062475598	Perhaps, as you know him, you can tell us which way he went?"
mdp.39015062475598	Pipelet was heard, ex- claiming:"Where are you going to?"
mdp.39015062475598	Pipelet, said to her, in a broken, scarcely audible tone:"Madame, where is the staircase, if you please?"
mdp.39015062475598	Pipelet, stepping out of the lodge;"you have seen those poor Morels then?
mdp.39015062475598	Pipelet,"I hope I played my part well, eh?
mdp.39015062475598	Pipelet:"Did not a woman come down- stairs just now?"
mdp.39015062475598	Pipelet?"
mdp.39015062475598	Poor creatures!—but where's the money?"
mdp.39015062475598	Really, are you a fool?"
mdp.39015062475598	Repeat that he can put me to prison; come, speak frankly — we must give up our innocent child to him?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rigolette since he left this house?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rigolette?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rigolette?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf came out of his house, no doubt?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf might never again visit the open house, and then how could he warn him?
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf, unwilling to betray his emotion, replied in a tone as col- lected as he could assume,"Did you remain long as a knacker's helper?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?"
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?'
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?'
mdp.39015062475598	Rudolf?'
mdp.39015062475598	Say you?"
mdp.39015062475598	Say, is it not so?"
mdp.39015062475598	Seraphin,"This one- eyed woman knows where the girl is?''
mdp.39015062475598	Seyton looked at the speaker with surprise, and said,"What do you mean by'shovels'and'gravel'? — What do you call it in plain talk?"
mdp.39015062475598	Seyton looked at the speaker with surprise, and said,"What do you mean by'shovels'and'gravel'? — What do you call it in plain talk?"
mdp.39015062475598	Shall I wait the rising of his highness to communi- cate the information I bring?"
mdp.39015062475598	Shall we start?"
mdp.39015062475598	She do n't want gold; she was going to return it to the person who lent it, was n't you, Louise?"
mdp.39015062475598	She lie?
mdp.39015062475598	Some generous action leads you there, no doubt; but for what good work have you reserved me, then?
mdp.39015062475598	Suppose it's a take- in?
mdp.39015062475598	Tell me who deserves pity but my daughter?
mdp.39015062475598	That is a pretty smart step'from here, you must own — and — but what's the matter with you now?—that con- founded wound again?"
mdp.39015062475598	That'll do, wo n't it?
mdp.39015062475598	That's droll, is n't it, for a landlord to pay rent to his lodger?
mdp.39015062475598	That's quite a new move to me; you must put me up to that dodge — will you?"
mdp.39015062475598	That's rather good, is n't it, eh?"
mdp.39015062475598	The Schoolmaster came up to the window and said to Rudolf —"What air are you humming?"
mdp.39015062475598	The Schoolmaster stumbled again, when the imp exclaimed,"Open your peepers, old fellow; why do n't you open your eyes?
mdp.39015062475598	The lad brought a sheep to the door, and said:"Shall I tie it to the ring, master?"
mdp.39015062475598	The latter heard him, and growled out:''Where have you been, you little blackguard?"
mdp.39015062475598	The latter putting her own interpretation on the surprise of her future lodger, said to him,''It's a funny name, is it not, the'Owl?'"
mdp.39015062475598	The place is well chosen for this confession — is it not?
mdp.39015062475598	The viscount bowed low, and said,"Will your royal highness deign to forgive my impatience to pay my respects?
mdp.39015062475598	Then Claire, asmuch by interest as curiosity, asked me where I had been brought up — was it in the city or the country?
mdp.39015062475598	Then addressing himself to the laborers, he added:"Will none of you, kind gentlemen, help to prevent my poor father from going out to- night?"
mdp.39015062475598	Then she added, in astonishment—"Oh, who are you?
mdp.39015062475598	Then, assuming a caressing tone of voice, she added:"Have they abused you, killed you, my dear old darling — eh?"
mdp.39015062475598	Then, he added:"It is not weather fit for a dog: what say you to a go of rotgut, with a sprinkle of powdered plaster?"
mdp.39015062475598	There are, you say, sixty thousand francs in gold in a cabinet?
mdp.39015062475598	There, will that content you?"
mdp.39015062475598	There; do n't you see the roof?
mdp.39015062475598	This is to be the same dodge, eh?"
mdp.39015062475598	To whom do we owe this unlooked- for succor?"
mdp.39015062475598	Two thousand francs to do mischief to you i Who are you, then?"
mdp.39015062475598	Under what strange circum- stances had the prince and this poor girl met?
mdp.39015062475598	Villanous smile, impudent manners""Of whom do you speak?"
mdp.39015062475598	Was it not, indeed, strange that he had taken from a life of misery this creature, of ravishing beauty and of no common mind?
mdp.39015062475598	Was it the marchioness thus hastening to her ruin?
mdp.39015062475598	We may con'elude then that the house in the Allee des Veuves will be unin- habited until the day after to- morrow?"
mdp.39015062475598	We poor women are so weak and timid; are we not, sir?"
mdp.39015062475598	Well what did they say?"
mdp.39015062475598	Well, now, she knows we are in want, yet she has not come again?"
mdp.39015062475598	Well, the bill is paid; but the expenses?
mdp.39015062475598	What a difference between him and you, sir?"
mdp.39015062475598	What aged woman was that who brought me your letter this evening?"
mdp.39015062475598	What can be done?"
mdp.39015062475598	What color is your heifer, Musette?"
mdp.39015062475598	What did I see?
mdp.39015062475598	What do I see?
mdp.39015062475598	What do they need?
mdp.39015062475598	What do you say to that, eh?
mdp.39015062475598	What do you think of our usual living?"
mdp.39015062475598	What do you want, mother?"
mdp.39015062475598	What harm will that do to you, as I shall be pun- ished at last?
mdp.39015062475598	What has he done with my boy?
mdp.39015062475598	What is it they're at with the Schoolmaster?
mdp.39015062475598	What is the matter with him?"
mdp.39015062475598	What is this Red Arm?"
mdp.39015062475598	What is your address?"
mdp.39015062475598	What means your highness?"
mdp.39015062475598	What must I do?'
mdp.39015062475598	What need he do more?
mdp.39015062475598	What s?.y you?"
mdp.39015062475598	What saved you from that danger?"
mdp.39015062475598	What shall I do?
mdp.39015062475598	What then is going on?"
mdp.39015062475598	What then?"
mdp.39015062475598	What under the sun can you want more?
mdp.39015062475598	What was their condition in life?"
mdp.39015062475598	What will be the part cast to me?"
mdp.39015062475598	What will you say when you have a stove under your trotters, and a grizzled shock of hair like the Ogress yonder?
mdp.39015062475598	What would the pet parson say if he heard you?
mdp.39015062475598	What's a man got knees for?
mdp.39015062475598	What's that to you?"
mdp.39015062475598	What's the matter with you?
mdp.39015062475598	When I say content, perhaps""What then?"
mdp.39015062475598	When they had seen all, except the upper story, Murphy said:"Well, is not my friend a very fortunate fellow?
mdp.39015062475598	Where am I?
mdp.39015062475598	Where is he wounded, David?"
mdp.39015062475598	Where is she? — Tell me where is she?
mdp.39015062475598	Where is she? — Tell me where is she?
mdp.39015062475598	Where shall we meet?"
mdp.39015062475598	Whereabouts are we in our catechism now?"
mdp.39015062475598	While I do that, you can easily draw away the little one?"
mdp.39015062475598	Whj should not Pipelet be called Alfred, pray?"
mdp.39015062475598	Who compelled M. d'Harville thus to make two victims?—a blind, insensate passion?
mdp.39015062475598	Who would not pity a child?
mdp.39015062475598	Who would then be Owly's whipping- post?
mdp.39015062475598	Who, now, is the happy housekeeper to that excellent young man, that pattern of lodgers, M. Ger- main?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why did Rudolf go disguised into the City?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why did he tear him from me?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why did n't he send for a park of artillery at once?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why did you not let me know sooner?'
mdp.39015062475598	Why did you not tell me that sooner?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why do n't you eat, La Goualeuse?
mdp.39015062475598	Why do you turn my head in this way?
mdp.39015062475598	Why should I be sick?
mdp.39015062475598	Why should I?
mdp.39015062475598	Why should he try to save her?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why should she come after you?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why then do you torment me thus?"
mdp.39015062475598	Why, this duel?
mdp.39015062475598	Will he return soon?'
mdp.39015062475598	Will this lady permit me?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you be kind enough to do me a favor?"
mdp.39015062475598	Will you be so kind, sir, as""To read that letter?
mdp.39015062475598	Will you come — yes or no?"
mdp.39015062475598	Will you just stand there, behind the curtain?
mdp.39015062475598	Would any one believe in such a phenomenon?"
mdp.39015062475598	Would he not admirably represent one of the great names of France?"
mdp.39015062475598	Would you like to be introduced to him?"
mdp.39015062475598	Would you like to leain, little mischief?"
mdp.39015062475598	Yes, but s'pose, meanwhile, the Schoolmaster comes here?
mdp.39015062475598	You are quite satisfied with your agent?''
mdp.39015062475598	You are, I suppose, in a position to be on terms of acquaintance and friendship with M. Caesar?
mdp.39015062475598	You can all speak to that, can you not, my friends?"
mdp.39015062475598	You do n't know what I mean?
mdp.39015062475598	You do n't mean to say you've beei to a wedding- feast to- day?"
mdp.39015062475598	You do n't say so?"
mdp.39015062475598	You refuse decidedly?"
mdp.39015062475598	You saw the shiners?
mdp.39015062475598	You say you do n't know him?"
mdp.39015062475598	You see the door there, by the side of the stair- case?"
mdp.39015062475598	You understand? — 1 « no one."
mdp.39015062475598	You understand?"
mdp.39015062475598	You want me to lead you to her door, then to her bed, and then tell you where to strike, and then guide your hand — isn't that it?
mdp.39015062475598	You want to lead me into some snare?"
mdp.39015062475598	You will help me, wo n't you?"
mdp.39015062475598	You will swear that to me, will you not?"
mdp.39015062475598	You would n't have wired into the Poissy cattle- dealer to clear him out, if he had been as strong as me — eh?'
mdp.39015062475598	You're up to my meaning?
mdp.39015062475598	You, who have robbed so many?
mdp.39015062475598	Young people will be young people — and where's the harm?
mdp.39015062475598	Your name, if you please?"
mdp.39015062475598	\"Goualeuse owes you ninety francs?"
mdp.39015062475598	a bank president and no less,"exclaimed the Chourineur,"just look at a blooming lord who pays half- a- dime a night for his bed?''
mdp.39015062475598	a real love- letter, depend upon it; yet, who is the villain that would dare to""Suppose your husband had been here, madame?"
mdp.39015062475598	afraid, old white- liver?"
mdp.39015062475598	all has been got ready, but""No lady has come?"
mdp.39015062475598	and his wife, still beautiful and ravishing?"
mdp.39015062475598	and why do n't you make haste and show her up?
mdp.39015062475598	and, above all, why carry him off?"
mdp.39015062475598	answered La Louve, brutally;"must one always give up to you because you are the weakest?
mdp.39015062475598	are you afraid that I have given you duffers?
mdp.39015062475598	are you going to drive back again?'
mdp.39015062475598	are you not ashamed to proceed to such brutal vio- lence with this unfortunate child?"
mdp.39015062475598	are you really in earnest when you make so generous an offer?"
mdp.39015062475598	ascertain how Murphy is?"
mdp.39015062475598	because I refuse to lend myself to- a criminal act?
mdp.39015062475598	but—-""What's wrong?"
mdp.39015062475598	comprehend that I have in truth been more culpable than unfortunate?
mdp.39015062475598	cover this?"
mdp.39015062475598	cried I indignantly;'you dare to say you are not the cause of my ruin?'
mdp.39015062475598	cried Malicorne;"think you that we come here for fun?
mdp.39015062475598	cried the artisan, with bitter irony,"where shall we go?
mdp.39015062475598	cried the artisan,"what is she going to say?"
mdp.39015062475598	cried the portress — and, stooping down, she bawled in his ears:"What is the matter with my Alfred?
mdp.39015062475598	d'Orbigny?"
mdp.39015062475598	exclaimed M. Robert, clasping his hands in stupefac- tion,"but what can she want at the top of the house?
mdp.39015062475598	exclaimed Rudolf,"the law?
mdp.39015062475598	exclaimed the Schoolmaster, scarcely believing what he heard,"will you forgive me?"
mdp.39015062475598	exclaimed the unhappy man, exasperated by this foolish reproach,''is it not your mother who is the cause of all our miseries?
mdp.39015062475598	eyes?"
mdp.39015062475598	for what?"
mdp.39015062475598	frankly, have you never had — a lover?"
mdp.39015062475598	from what source have you, then, drawn these feelings of tender commiseration?"
mdp.39015062475598	has he been let loose upon Alfred?"
mdp.39015062475598	have I need of them?
mdp.39015062475598	have I not repaid them in every way?"
mdp.39015062475598	have you nothing of your own?"
mdp.39015062475598	her infamy?
mdp.39015062475598	how am I to be honest?
mdp.39015062475598	how bitter cold it is to- night?"
mdp.39015062475598	how can I word such an idea intelligibly?"
mdp.39015062475598	how?''
mdp.39015062475598	i"You dare to say so?"
mdp.39015062475598	ij"And had you never any playthings, Goualeuse?"
mdp.39015062475598	in the name of heaven, what makes you so late?'"
mdp.39015062475598	is he so full of fun, then, that he must have a game of blind- man's bluff with his own darling boy?"
mdp.39015062475598	is it for a baby harlequin, this cap?
mdp.39015062475598	is not that enough to make one perspire?
mdp.39015062475598	is your tooth- ache so very bad, that you rip out so many jaw- breakers?
mdp.39015062475598	it is impossible you could ever have been as wretched as I was, Knifer?"
mdp.39015062475598	it is n't so heavy as the bundle of the woman wc drowned in the Canal Saint Martin, is it, my man?"
mdp.39015062475598	it makes me quite ashamed""Because I am kind?"
mdp.39015062475598	it seem to you that the tall boy is troubled with phlegm?"
mdp.39015062475598	madame, what do you want?
mdp.39015062475598	mander, to hire and furnish the first floor in this house, whtr; never comes near it?
mdp.39015062475598	money, that money, Louise?"
mdp.39015062475598	morning have made me pay, with my life?
mdp.39015062475598	muttered the Schoolmaster to himself;"can these accursed animals smell the blood?
mdp.39015062475598	my dear Murphy,"said the baron;"I can easily guess the reply of our West Indian sultan: he refused?"
mdp.39015062475598	not I, Goualeuse?
mdp.39015062475598	not satisfied?
mdp.39015062475598	one word more,"said Saint- Remy, addressing Goua- leuse;"can you tell me if I can easily find the farm of M. Debreuii, at Arnouville?"
mdp.39015062475598	prince of a fippenny rope?"
mdp.39015062475598	relating to this physician?"
mdp.39015062475598	replied the Schoolmaster:"are you blind?
mdp.39015062475598	resumed the portress, quite surprised;"he is as gentle as a lamb, and incapable of""Does Jerome Morel live here or not?"
mdp.39015062475598	said Goualeuse, who hoped to continue the conversation by speaking of an object interesting to her;"you'll be very happy to see him?"
mdp.39015062475598	said Rudolf carelessly:"you do n't believe in charms, do you?
mdp.39015062475598	said Rudolf;''did you not hear it?"
mdp.39015062475598	said the Owl to the School- master;"what do you advise, you scholard?
mdp.39015062475598	said the artisan, whose mind began to wander:"why arrest my daughter in the name of the law?
mdp.39015062475598	said the marchioness, sadly;"have I not, on the contrary, revealed that to you which I ought never to have confessed even to myself?"
mdp.39015062475598	said the marchioness, sighing deeply,"who does not need pardon and pity?"
mdp.39015062475598	said the step- mother of Madame d'Harville, laughing;"you submit also to the charms of the irresistible?"
mdp.39015062475598	she is, indeed, very good; and why? — because she has known what poverty is.
mdp.39015062475598	she's within ten skips of you; that's vexatious, is n't it?
mdp.39015062475598	shut in for ever from the external world, you will be driven to look inward?
mdp.39015062475598	sighed the abbe\"so happy as she ought to be: what grief can it be that is now preying upon her?
mdp.39015062475598	that makes you blubber, does it, you Kid?"
mdp.39015062475598	that was a good one, was n't it?
mdp.39015062475598	the name of Rigolette not new to you?
mdp.39015062475598	their table, and said,"Will you have a pint of wine by measure, or a sealed bottle?''
mdp.39015062475598	they drank with him, did they?
mdp.39015062475598	they talked of a large sum of money to be here next Monday?
mdp.39015062475598	this gold for me — and this little lady — is not with the Commander?"
mdp.39015062475598	ture, since he lodges elsewhere?"
mdp.39015062475598	we are cowards, are we?"
mdp.39015062475598	were they not the same persons of whom you bought the little secretary?"
mdp.39015062475598	what ails you, my blade? — one would think you were shivering.
mdp.39015062475598	what did I recognize?
mdp.39015062475598	what did they call you?"
mdp.39015062475598	what do you say?"
mdp.39015062475598	what does he do?"
mdp.39015062475598	what else is it, to devote a wretched child to similar misery?
mdp.39015062475598	what has become of her?"
mdp.39015062475598	what is the use of honesty and grey hairs if not to endure even an unmerited reproach?"
mdp.39015062475598	what was my father's name?
mdp.39015062475598	what will become of me?"
mdp.39015062475598	when will all this end?"
mdp.39015062475598	when you're an old stager; then there wo n't be such?.
mdp.39015062475598	where are we?"
mdp.39015062475598	where can people find such queer words?
mdp.39015062475598	where do you come from?
mdp.39015062475598	where is Murphy?"
mdp.39015062475598	where is he?"
mdp.39015062475598	where to find a refuge?
mdp.39015062475598	where was I to fly?

mdp.39015062475598	who could have told her?
mdp.39015062475598	who was there to give me any play- things?"
mdp.39015062475598	who will arrest you?"
mdp.39015062475598	who?
mdp.39015062475598	why arrest you?
mdp.39015062475598	why did they go away so early?"
mdp.39015062475598	why does my evil destiny — which I do not deserve — deliver me and mine up, bound hand and foot, to that hypocrite?
mdp.39015062475598	why lost?
mdp.39015062475598	why not have taken the sacrament at once?"
mdp.39015062475598	why understand the ineffable joys, when one can never experience them?"
mdp.39015062475598	will you refuse this last con- solation to your child?"
mdp.39015062475598	would n't any one suppose that I had done nothing all my life but deceive a husband?"
mdp.39015062475598	you also disguised as a peasant girl?"
mdp.39015062475598	you cling to your beauty, then, poor child?

mdp.39015062475598	“ She sees her, then?"
nyp.33433074843560	After you left the Lodge and walked down the river path toward Heston's own cabin; did you meet any one?
nyp.33433074843560	Alone?
nyp.33433074843560	And after he had been arrested —?
nyp.33433074843560	And after that?
nyp.33433074843560	And after you passed Farnam and Hawkins,pursued Carroll,"did you see any one else?"
nyp.33433074843560	And since then?
nyp.33433074843560	And the explanation Heston gave you about his sudden flight, he gave in confidence?
nyp.33433074843560	And where did he go when you left?
nyp.33433074843560	And yet in our business every one is black until we prove him white; is that what you were going to say?
nyp.33433074843560	And yet when you were there a little after six o'clock no murder had been committed?
nyp.33433074843560	And you are quite convinced that he did n't know there was any one at the Lodge?
nyp.33433074843560	And you are quite sure that Heston was not with you when you were at the Lodge?
nyp.33433074843560	And you were at Furness Lodge near six- thirty and there had been no murder commit- ted?
nyp.33433074843560	And you?
nyp.33433074843560	AndHeston?
nyp.33433074843560	Andyou —?
nyp.33433074843560	Answer carefully, Carter — have you ever seen this ring before?
nyp.33433074843560	Are n't you equivocating, Miss Esther?
nyp.33433074843560	Are you sure it was n't quite dark?
nyp.33433074843560	At his place; where y's'pose?
nyp.33433074843560	At least you will not deny knowing Miss Esther Devarney, will you?
nyp.33433074843560	At six- thirty or thereabouts?
nyp.33433074843560	Beat it down to the depot, will you, Jim, and hang around until they get this wire off?
nyp.33433074843560	Because she admitted being there just be- fore the crime was committed?
nyp.33433074843560	Before the ninth?
nyp.33433074843560	Bennet Hemingway?
nyp.33433074843560	But he had moved from the cabin when they got there?
nyp.33433074843560	But you are not sure?
nyp.33433074843560	But you ca n't get them out of your mind, eh?
nyp.33433074843560	But,interjected Sullivan,"is n't it pos- sible that there was some deal afoot when Ben- net Hemingway was here?
nyp.33433074843560	By the road?
nyp.33433074843560	Call you?
nyp.33433074843560	Can you show me where?
nyp.33433074843560	Conrad Heston?
nyp.33433074843560	D'you wonder?
nyp.33433074843560	Devarneys?
nyp.33433074843560	Did Farnam speak to you at all?
nyp.33433074843560	Did he know Miss Katherine Carr? nyp.33433074843560 Did he know that the Forrests were coming to the cabin?"
nyp.33433074843560	Did n't you drive him out when he first came?
nyp.33433074843560	Did you discuss Mrs. Forrest's murder?
nyp.33433074843560	Did you see any one art Furness Lodge — even at a distance?
nyp.33433074843560	Did you see him start out on the river?
nyp.33433074843560	Did you see the chauffeur when he came?
nyp.33433074843560	Do many live around there?
nyp.33433074843560	Do you know that ring?
nyp.33433074843560	Do you like him?
nyp.33433074843560	Do you mean it?
nyp.33433074843560	Do you recall,asked Carroll quietly,"ex- actly what day he was here?"
nyp.33433074843560	Do you think he's told it all?
nyp.33433074843560	Do you wonder I'd like to see him swing?
nyp.33433074843560	Do you?
nyp.33433074843560	Does the road from Nixon's to his cabin pass the Lodge?
nyp.33433074843560	Educated, eh?
nyp.33433074843560	Even so,snapped Carroll,"would n't he have entered through the front door had he come up from the river?
nyp.33433074843560	Ever hear of those initials yourself, Sheriff?
nyp.33433074843560	Expect to be here long?
nyp.33433074843560	Farnam?
nyp.33433074843560	For what?
nyp.33433074843560	Freeing Averyt?
nyp.33433074843560	Go in for fraternal order work or anything like that?
nyp.33433074843560	Half- past five, eh?
nyp.33433074843560	Have I?
nyp.33433074843560	Have n't you dropped a'George'from your name?
nyp.33433074843560	Have n't you ever heard the old adage:'He who excuses, accuses'?
nyp.33433074843560	Have n't you overlooked one thing, Jim?
nyp.33433074843560	He did n't seem surprised?
nyp.33433074843560	He has a boat?
nyp.33433074843560	He knew that the folks were there, did n't he?
nyp.33433074843560	He seemed quiet and calm?
nyp.33433074843560	He was there when you got there?
nyp.33433074843560	He's from the north, then?
nyp.33433074843560	He's on his way to Karnak, is n't he?
nyp.33433074843560	How did he strike you then?
nyp.33433074843560	How did you to happen to lose it there?
nyp.33433074843560	How do you know that?
nyp.33433074843560	How do you know, Carroll?
nyp.33433074843560	How does he spend his time?
nyp.33433074843560	How does that strike you, Jim?
nyp.33433074843560	How long were you in the Lodge?
nyp.33433074843560	How much do you think he knows?
nyp.33433074843560	How?
nyp.33433074843560	Howdye, Mr. Carroll; how you makin'it?
nyp.33433074843560	I ai n't said she was n't here now, hev I?
nyp.33433074843560	I suppose you can see how it affects me, Jim?
nyp.33433074843560	I thought Mr. Forrest must have told you that?
nyp.33433074843560	I'll answer thet if ye'll answer me one:—Hev you got the idee that mebbe this here Heston is mixed up in the For- rest murder?
nyp.33433074843560	If Mrs. Forrest's body had been lying be- fore the ice- box would you have seen it?
nyp.33433074843560	If he did n't,said Carroll,"who did?"
nyp.33433074843560	Is Mr. Forrest in the jail?
nyp.33433074843560	Like good tobacco, Uncle?
nyp.33433074843560	Little town there?
nyp.33433074843560	Look- ing up a deed to the Furness place?
nyp.33433074843560	May I ask you one frank question without fearing to offend? nyp.33433074843560 Mighty pretty girl, was n't she, SullivanT By the way, Mart, who is she?"
nyp.33433074843560	No one was there?
nyp.33433074843560	No one?
nyp.33433074843560	Nobody by the icebox?
nyp.33433074843560	Nor one closely resembling it?
nyp.33433074843560	Nor your real name?
nyp.33433074843560	Not at all?
nyp.33433074843560	Nothing?
nyp.33433074843560	On what train does Conrad Heston plan to leave Karnak?
nyp.33433074843560	One other?
nyp.33433074843560	Perhaps — but you remember the Fanshaw case up in Berkley City, do n't you?
nyp.33433074843560	Please, Mr. Sullivan,begged Kinney,"keep it quiet, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074843560	Re- cently occupied?
nyp.33433074843560	So I say — what makes you think he done it?
nyp.33433074843560	So — o? nyp.33433074843560 Speaking of that girl — Esther Devarney?"
nyp.33433074843560	Suppose we trace guilt inevitably to your friend?
nyp.33433074843560	Tell us how you know?
nyp.33433074843560	That afternoon?
nyp.33433074843560	That lets us down with Heston, eh? nyp.33433074843560 That you, Carroll?"
nyp.33433074843560	The arm of the law moves slowly down here, does n't it? nyp.33433074843560 The man who bought the Furness place?"
nyp.33433074843560	The man who wrote that rotten letter?
nyp.33433074843560	Then I imagine he's not a very sickly look- ing man, eh?
nyp.33433074843560	Then what did you do?
nyp.33433074843560	Then what made you think there was any- thing suspicious in Heston's being around there that afternoon?
nyp.33433074843560	Then who is?
nyp.33433074843560	Then you did n't know they were coming until they got here?
nyp.33433074843560	Then you did n't tell her that he was n't there?
nyp.33433074843560	Then you think he's under an alias?
nyp.33433074843560	Thet bein'the case, whut you want with my darter?
nyp.33433074843560	Thinking of searching for Heston, eh?
nyp.33433074843560	To see Sis an'tell her he wanted to see her.."Where?
nyp.33433074843560	Trial, huh? nyp.33433074843560 Uncle, can you tell us where Mart Farnam lives?"
nyp.33433074843560	Us?
nyp.33433074843560	Was your arrival at the Lodge your first in- timation that it was occupied?
nyp.33433074843560	We have the story of the transaction pretty straight, have n't we?
nyp.33433074843560	We're friends of Mr. Forrest —The gray eyes flashed:"The man whut killed his wife over to th'Furness place?"
nyp.33433074843560	Weill"You know who we are?

nyp.33433074843560	Wonder why he bought that place from Furness? nyp.33433074843560 Writer?"
nyp.33433074843560	Y'ra right smart feller, ai nt ye? nyp.33433074843560 Ye've been a- visitin'this man at the Lodge, Essie?"
nyp.33433074843560	Yes,answered Carroll dully,"we're off — but — to what?"
nyp.33433074843560	Yes?
nyp.33433074843560	Yes?
nyp.33433074843560	You are quite sure?
nyp.33433074843560	You are sure it was there and not at Furaess Lodge?
nyp.33433074843560	You are sure?
nyp.33433074843560	You are sure?
nyp.33433074843560	You are the mother of Miss Esther De- varney?
nyp.33433074843560	You deny guilt?
nyp.33433074843560	You did n't object?
nyp.33433074843560	You did n't say where?
nyp.33433074843560	You did n't see anybody else before you got home?
nyp.33433074843560	You do n't mean —?
nyp.33433074843560	You know where she lives?
nyp.33433074843560	You mean you do n't like him?
nyp.33433074843560	You mean —?
nyp.33433074843560	You mean —?
nyp.33433074843560	You merely remember it after you heard of the murder?
nyp.33433074843560	You met no one on your way to the Lodge?
nyp.33433074843560	You noticed that that letter was post- marked Columbia on the eighth?
nyp.33433074843560	You prefer Heston, eh?
nyp.33433074843560	You still insist that you were at Furness Lodge a little after six o'clock on the afternoon of the ninth?
nyp.33433074843560	You think he'll try a getaway?
nyp.33433074843560	You will admit that you have a theory?
nyp.33433074843560	You would have seen the body had it been there?
nyp.33433074843560	You're going to follow the tracks?
nyp.33433074843560	You're neighbours?
nyp.33433074843560	You're not very fond of him, are you, Miss Esther?
nyp.33433074843560	You're sure?
nyp.33433074843560	You've been engaged to her?
nyp.33433074843560	''Beyond the Furness place?''
nyp.33433074843560	''Did he say anything to you about strangers being there?"
nyp.33433074843560	''Even after her admission?''
nyp.33433074843560	''How far is it to £ he Lodge?''
nyp.33433074843560	''Mart?''
nyp.33433074843560	''Suppose I prove to you that he was not?''
nyp.33433074843560	''Why did you go?"
nyp.33433074843560	''Why do n't you go where he's livin'?"
nyp.33433074843560	'.'Sheriff?"
nyp.33433074843560	*/"Do n't you know that Conrad Heston is not his real name?"
nyp.33433074843560	...""Thinking of Heston?"
nyp.33433074843560	...""Tickets?"

nyp.33433074843560	34 GRAY DUSK"You did n't know he was in South Caro- lina?"
nyp.33433074843560	52 GRAY DUSK''Didn t they find him with the body?
nyp.33433074843560	85 88 GRAY DUSK"Do you know what he does for a living?"
nyp.33433074843560	A man who claims to have bought it from the owner?"
nyp.33433074843560	Ai n't that a fact, sir; ai n't it a fact?"
nyp.33433074843560	Ai n't that a fact?"
nyp.33433074843560	Am I at liberty to do so?"
nyp.33433074843560	Am I still logi- cal?"
nyp.33433074843560	Am I to believe this?"
nyp.33433074843560	And after Sheriff Potter read the letter —?"
nyp.33433074843560	And now — have you any others?"
nyp.33433074843560	And then he asked Mr. Forrest in the house —""What,"interrupted Carroll,"did Mr. Forrest say when he was told he was under arrest?"
nyp.33433074843560	And when you got there —!?"
nyp.33433074843560	Another thing: what motive could the girl have had?''
nyp.33433074843560	Are taxes paid and is title clear?
nyp.33433074843560	Are those your conclusions?"
nyp.33433074843560	Are you quite sure you were not with her?"
nyp.33433074843560	But if he did n't do it, who done it?"
nyp.33433074843560	But maybe you might care to tell me where you and she were at six o'clock on the afternoon of the ninth?"
nyp.33433074843560	But what could Conrad Heston, evidently a cultured man, have done to inspire a bitter hatred in the warped soul of the swamp angel?
nyp.33433074843560	But why in God's name should you reach the same asinine con- clusion at which this rube sheriff jumped?''
nyp.33433074843560	By the way, how did he get his bag- gage out there?"
nyp.33433074843560	By the way, speaking of trials — what sort of a looking man is this Conrad Heston who has been staying at Furness Lodge?"
nyp.33433074843560	CHAPTER XI FACING each other on the road again Sullivan questioned:"Why so, Chief?"
nyp.33433074843560	Ca n't you see from my questions that I know you are not truthful with me? ” “ I will take my chances, ” came the dogged response.
nyp.33433074843560	Devarney?"
nyp.33433074843560	Did you find her?"
nyp.33433074843560	Didn t he have that there letter about him saying that his wife was n't all she might have been?"
nyp.33433074843560	Do you agree — or am I getting senile in my desire for my friend's vindication?"
nyp.33433074843560	Do you be- lieve —""That Furness sold the place?"
nyp.33433074843560	Do you care to tell us just what you did for the two days preceding the murder?"
nyp.33433074843560	Do you happen, by the way, to know the ring of the'phone at the Lodge?"
nyp.33433074843560	Do you know where he is now?"

nyp.33433074843560	GRAY DUSK 95"Nothin'suspicious in his actions?"
nyp.33433074843560	Has Carter left?"

nyp.33433074843560	Have you ever heard him mention?''
nyp.33433074843560	Have you got the goods against Heston?"
nyp.33433074843560	Have you sold it or put any sort of en- cumbrance against it?
nyp.33433074843560	He did n't know why, but he could not understand GRAY DUSK 247"How do you know?"
nyp.33433074843560	He started for- ward:"You mean — you mean that —""That you are innocent?

nyp.33433074843560	His an- swer came slowly, his words chosen with care:"What makes you think I believe Heston did it?"
nyp.33433074843560	His figure was tensed, his words close- clipped—"Do you mean to tell me that for two months there has been a man living at Furness Lodge?

nyp.33433074843560	Is it yours?"
nyp.33433074843560	Is yo'wantin'to see Marse Farnam?"
nyp.33433074843560	It is this:—hasn't your daughter been pretty friendly with Conrad Heston?"
nyp.33433074843560	It was Mart Farnam who spoke first, and he addressed Jim Sullivan: “ You ai n't Mr. David Carroll — are you? ” Sullivan shook his head.
nyp.33433074843560	It was quite evi- dent that she had been stabbed through the neck with an ice- pick —""Why do you say'quite evident'?"
nyp.33433074843560	It's been about three months, ai n't it, Miss Robinson, since he went there to live?"
nyp.33433074843560	Just sort of dark; warn't it, Ma?"
nyp.33433074843560	Now how about the answer to my question?"
nyp.33433074843560	Ready to drive on a few miles fur- ther?"
nyp.33433074843560	Reckon a man cain't allers explain why he do n't like an- other feller, can he?"
nyp.33433074843560	Say, what you askin'me all these questions for?"
nyp.33433074843560	She looked at him peculiarly:"Some mem- ber of his family?"
nyp.33433074843560	She said noth- ing until Carroll spoke:"Is this Mrs. De- varney?"
nyp.33433074843560	So that's how the land lies, is it?"
nyp.33433074843560	Tell me; at what time on the evening of the ninth were you with Conrad Heston?"
nyp.33433074843560	That is, after he came here on the eighth asking for your daughter?"
nyp.33433074843560	The idea is n't so scatterbrained, is it?"
nyp.33433074843560	Then he was n't at the cabin when you got there?"
nyp.33433074843560	Then inquisitively:''Didn't he?"
nyp.33433074843560	This morning?"
nyp.33433074843560	Understand?"
nyp.33433074843560	Was she living in Newark?
nyp.33433074843560	Well, we sent her down an'she win a medal or somethin'an'Mother an'me was so all- fired proud of her, was n't we, Mother?"
nyp.33433074843560	What about him?"
nyp.33433074843560	What can I do for you?"
nyp.33433074843560	What do you think of him?"
nyp.33433074843560	What have you found that you have n't told me?"
nyp.33433074843560	What is it?"
nyp.33433074843560	What might yours be?"
nyp.33433074843560	What was he doing in the Furness place?
nyp.33433074843560	When you arrived at the cabin, was he there?"
nyp.33433074843560	Where did you see Heston on the afternoon of the ninth?"
nyp.33433074843560	Where is Heston now?"
nyp.33433074843560	Where was he on the ninth?"
nyp.33433074843560	Where were you be- tween five and six- thirty?"
nyp.33433074843560	Where, did you get that grip?
nyp.33433074843560	Where?
nyp.33433074843560	Which Devarneys does yo'mean?"
nyp.33433074843560	Which one in particu- lar?"
nyp.33433074843560	Which struck me as mighty pe- culiar because —""You are sure he left town the next morn- ing?"
nyp.33433074843560	Who was this Conrad Heston?
nyp.33433074843560	Why?"
nyp.33433074843560	Will yon answer my question?"
nyp.33433074843560	Will you need me later?"
nyp.33433074843560	You can reach it from where you're standing, ca n't you?"
nyp.33433074843560	You have seen him recently?"
nyp.33433074843560	You have your luggage with you?"
nyp.33433074843560	You know how pretty she looked in GRAY DUSK 221 that photo, David?
nyp.33433074843560	You know how to reach the place?"
nyp.33433074843560	You know which letter —""The one Hemingway had written?"
nyp.33433074843560	You're not suspecting her of that?"
nyp.33433074843560	that explains something that Carter said —"62 GRAY DUSK"Yes?"
nyp.33433074843560	y# 68 GRAY DUSK"He'd probably know something about Hes- ton, then?"
nyp.33433074843560	you do n't think —?"
nyp.33433074843560	you're not suspecting him?"
nyp.33433074843560	“ And now, may I chat with him? ” Potter waved his hand easily.
nyp.33433074843560	“ I been knowin ’ her all my life. ” “ She is very attractive. ” “ You tellin ’ me that? ” The man laughed harshly.
nyp.33433074843560	“ You have known her long? ” To his surprise Mart Farmam answered frankly.
mdp.39015069330739	A bit of bread?
mdp.39015069330739	A drink?
mdp.39015069330739	A manufactured diamond?
mdp.39015069330739	A red ribbon? mdp.39015069330739 Abduct your daughter?"
mdp.39015069330739	Absolutely?
mdp.39015069330739	Ah, Clotilde,he said, bitterly,"why did I draw you into my adventurous life?
mdp.39015069330739	All quiet in the street?
mdp.39015069330739	Alone?
mdp.39015069330739	Am I sure?
mdp.39015069330739	Amusing, is n't it?
mdp.39015069330739	And I shall be in prison?
mdp.39015069330739	And Mademoiselle Destange?
mdp.39015069330739	And also the presence of Dieuzy and Folenfant, whom I noticed standing near the door as I came in?
mdp.39015069330739	And do you never fall from grace?
mdp.39015069330739	And he consented?
mdp.39015069330739	And if I should take you at your word, Monsieur Lupin?
mdp.39015069330739	And if it does not occur?
mdp.39015069330739	And is that all you have discovered?
mdp.39015069330739	And is that all?
mdp.39015069330739	And leave me alone?
mdp.39015069330739	And that letter was sufficient —"To distract my attention? mdp.39015069330739 And the apartments on the other floors?"
mdp.39015069330739	And the other?
mdp.39015069330739	And the other?
mdp.39015069330739	And the people?
mdp.39015069330739	And the scratches on the balustrade?
mdp.39015069330739	And the second man — what address did he give?
mdp.39015069330739	And this stone?
mdp.39015069330739	And what about the marks made by the bottom of the ladder?
mdp.39015069330739	And what shall I do?
mdp.39015069330739	And you accept?
mdp.39015069330739	And you are sorry to leave her?
mdp.39015069330739	And you have n't any?
mdp.39015069330739	And you think that he will save you?
mdp.39015069330739	And you went away without knowing what had become of me?
mdp.39015069330739	And you will not try to find another way out?
mdp.39015069330739	And you would be pleased to see it — eh, Ganimard?
mdp.39015069330739	And your writing desk — how is it this morning?
mdp.39015069330739	Anything new?
mdp.39015069330739	Anything new?
mdp.39015069330739	Are you in such a hurry?
mdp.39015069330739	Are you quite sure it is so very funny?
mdp.39015069330739	Are you sure that we are not being watched?
mdp.39015069330739	Are you sure you know all of them?
mdp.39015069330739	Are you there, mademoiselle? mdp.39015069330739 Arsene Lupin?"
mdp.39015069330739	At her house?
mdp.39015069330739	At the chateau de Crozrin?
mdp.39015069330739	Because it is an antique, perhaps?
mdp.39015069330739	Before that? mdp.39015069330739 Before the servants?"
mdp.39015069330739	Besides, are you quite sure you can place your hand on me? mdp.39015069330739 But Arsene Lupin has written to you?"
mdp.39015069330739	But I swear to you —"That you have not betrayed me? mdp.39015069330739 But before that?"
mdp.39015069330739	But how could she leave the house?
mdp.39015069330739	But how did he know that the Baron d'Imblevalle had written to you?
mdp.39015069330739	But how? mdp.39015069330739 But the boards were ready before that?"
mdp.39015069330739	But the marks of the ladder outside?
mdp.39015069330739	But the servant's stairway?
mdp.39015069330739	But what did the package contain?
mdp.39015069330739	But where? mdp.39015069330739 But why does n't Gerbois work with us?
mdp.39015069330739	But would the word of Arsene Lupin carry any weight with the court?
mdp.39015069330739	But you do not care for it particularly?
mdp.39015069330739	But"What does it matter to you, madame? mdp.39015069330739 But, have you any other papers?
mdp.39015069330739	But, in any event, can we count on your assistance?
mdp.39015069330739	By killing the man?
mdp.39015069330739	By whom? mdp.39015069330739 Can we not dispense with these prelim- inaries, monsieur?
mdp.39015069330739	Can you furnish any details of your theory?
mdp.39015069330739	Cigarette ashes?
mdp.39015069330739	Did I not tell you that I had an important appointment?
mdp.39015069330739	Did anyone know it?
mdp.39015069330739	Did she advise you to buy the ring?
mdp.39015069330739	Did the captain betray me? mdp.39015069330739 Did you find anything else?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you know his address?'' mdp.39015069330739 Do you know where we can find him?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you like him as well as you did at first?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you mean to say that he will not suc- ceed?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you mean to say we are prisoners?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you swear to that?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you think he will come back?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you think so?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you think that Arsene Lupin is the kind of a man that would kill himself?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you wish a window opened?
mdp.39015069330739	Does Monsieur Detinan live here?
mdp.39015069330739	Does she take her meals with you?
mdp.39015069330739	Does that signify anything?
mdp.39015069330739	For the blonde Lady, eh?
mdp.39015069330739	For what purpose?
mdp.39015069330739	For what? mdp.39015069330739 For whose sake is it better?"
mdp.39015069330739	Has he returned to Paris?
mdp.39015069330739	Have n't you adopted it yet? mdp.39015069330739 Have you any witnesses to that transac- tion?"
mdp.39015069330739	Have you finished in your rooms?
mdp.39015069330739	He does everything well, does n't he? mdp.39015069330739 Her liberty?
mdp.39015069330739	Her name?
mdp.39015069330739	His watch?
mdp.39015069330739	How could you?
mdp.39015069330739	How did they get in?
mdp.39015069330739	How do you know? mdp.39015069330739 How do you know?"
mdp.39015069330739	How long has she been in your service?
mdp.39015069330739	How long have they been working on this scaffolding?
mdp.39015069330739	How many men have we?
mdp.39015069330739	How will you get it, since it is in my possession?
mdp.39015069330739	How?
mdp.39015069330739	I gave it up? mdp.39015069330739 I presume you refer to one of my cousins d'Andelle?"
mdp.39015069330739	I? mdp.39015069330739 If not, I shall go to Monsieur Destange, and tell him""What?"
mdp.39015069330739	In that case, Monsieur Lupin, am I wrong in saying that my business will be finished in ten days?
mdp.39015069330739	In that case, you would consent to ex- change it for another desk that would be quite as convenient and in better condition?
mdp.39015069330739	In the writing- desk that was stolen?
mdp.39015069330739	Inside the house? mdp.39015069330739 Is Monsieur Wilson wounded?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is Monsieur not going to bed now?
mdp.39015069330739	Is The Swallow ready?
mdp.39015069330739	Is dear old Ganimard still waiting? mdp.39015069330739 Is he here now?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is he there much of the time?
mdp.39015069330739	Is it Lupin?
mdp.39015069330739	Is it he?
mdp.39015069330739	Is it possible?
mdp.39015069330739	Is not her presence indispensable?
mdp.39015069330739	Is that all?
mdp.39015069330739	Is the Parc Monceau closed at night?
mdp.39015069330739	Is this some of Ganimard's work?
mdp.39015069330739	Madame de Real of the Chateau de Cro- zon? mdp.39015069330739 Madame de Real, then?"
mdp.39015069330739	Mademoiselle?
mdp.39015069330739	May I come up?
mdp.39015069330739	Mon Dieu, monsieur,said Lupin,"what's your hurry?
mdp.39015069330739	Monsieur Ganimard, are you at liberty?
mdp.39015069330739	Monsieur Ganimard, can you furnish me with three men?
mdp.39015069330739	Monsieur Sholmes, is n't it? mdp.39015069330739 Monsieur d'Hautrec,"he said,"do you recognize Antoinette Brehat?"
mdp.39015069330739	My dear Maxime, what lucky chance brings you here?
mdp.39015069330739	My letter? mdp.39015069330739 No telegram during the night?"
mdp.39015069330739	No?
mdp.39015069330739	No?
mdp.39015069330739	Of his accomplice?
mdp.39015069330739	Of what thread?
mdp.39015069330739	Of what? mdp.39015069330739 Only what?"
mdp.39015069330739	Papers? mdp.39015069330739 Put the attack on your friend?"
mdp.39015069330739	Quite right, monsieur; but whose fault is it?
mdp.39015069330739	Really?
mdp.39015069330739	Saturday night? mdp.39015069330739 She has gone?"
mdp.39015069330739	Sholmes? mdp.39015069330739 That woman — where is she?
mdp.39015069330739	The Jewish lamp? mdp.39015069330739 The apartment above this?"
mdp.39015069330739	The concierge?
mdp.39015069330739	The name of the guilty party?
mdp.39015069330739	The one who is sitting behind you?
mdp.39015069330739	The order? mdp.39015069330739 The other evening?"
mdp.39015069330739	The two adjoining houses?
mdp.39015069330739	Then you do good, also?
mdp.39015069330739	Then you think this is false?
mdp.39015069330739	Then, what is it?
mdp.39015069330739	Then, who was it?
mdp.39015069330739	This house?
mdp.39015069330739	Those men? mdp.39015069330739 Three o'clock, already?
mdp.39015069330739	Through taste, faith, or habit?
mdp.39015069330739	Through the air?
mdp.39015069330739	Very much? mdp.39015069330739 Voluntarily?"
mdp.39015069330739	Was Madam de Real present when you purchased the ring?
mdp.39015069330739	Was he here on Saturday night?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, Monsieur Sholmes, what do you think of our little ride?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, do you suppose they are hiding in the chimney?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, how do you expect to prove it?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, then, where do we stand?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, then, who is it?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, what brought you here?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, what is your idea?
mdp.39015069330739	Well, what then?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?
mdp.39015069330739	Well?'
mdp.39015069330739	What absurdity is this? mdp.39015069330739 What account?"
mdp.39015069330739	What are you going to do?
mdp.39015069330739	What box?
mdp.39015069330739	What can happen to me? mdp.39015069330739 What do I know about it?
mdp.39015069330739	What do I mean?
mdp.39015069330739	What do I want? mdp.39015069330739 What do you expect, Sholmes?
mdp.39015069330739	What do you know about it?
mdp.39015069330739	What do you mean?
mdp.39015069330739	What do you mean?
mdp.39015069330739	What do you say? mdp.39015069330739 What do you think of that, Ganimard?
mdp.39015069330739	What do you want of me?
mdp.39015069330739	What friend?
mdp.39015069330739	What had become of you? mdp.39015069330739 What has become of her?"
mdp.39015069330739	What is he doing?
mdp.39015069330739	What is it? mdp.39015069330739 What is that for?"
mdp.39015069330739	What letter?
mdp.39015069330739	What makes you think so?
mdp.39015069330739	What other?
mdp.39015069330739	What proofs will you give him?
mdp.39015069330739	What sort of a man is he?
mdp.39015069330739	What then?
mdp.39015069330739	What was Bresson doing at the river?
mdp.39015069330739	What way, then?
mdp.39015069330739	What will you do, father?
mdp.39015069330739	What's the matter?
mdp.39015069330739	What's the matter?
mdp.39015069330739	What's the matter?

mdp.39015069330739	Who?
mdp.39015069330739	Who?
mdp.39015069330739	Whom did you go to see last night on the second floor of a house in the avenue des Ternes?
mdp.39015069330739	Why are you going away?
mdp.39015069330739	Why did you hide it there?
mdp.39015069330739	Why do you grasp me so tightly, mon- sieur? mdp.39015069330739 Why do you laugh?"
mdp.39015069330739	Why do you look at me so, Monsieur Sholmes? mdp.39015069330739 Why do you not arrest him?"
mdp.39015069330739	Why have I not seen her yet?
mdp.39015069330739	Why not? mdp.39015069330739 Why, Ganimard, I have an appointment with the blonde Lady, and do you suppose I would be so discourteous as to cause her a moment's anxiety?
mdp.39015069330739	Why? mdp.39015069330739 Why?"
mdp.39015069330739	Why?
mdp.39015069330739	Why?
mdp.39015069330739	Why?
mdp.39015069330739	Will the letter of the purchaser, Monsieur Bessy, be sufficient?
mdp.39015069330739	Will you permit me to go to my room, monsieur, to get some necessary articles?
mdp.39015069330739	Wilson, Wilson, it is not serious, hein? mdp.39015069330739 Yes, why?"
mdp.39015069330739	Yes; Ganimard is here with his men — why do n't they come in?
mdp.39015069330739	You accuse her of being an accomplice?
mdp.39015069330739	You accuse my friend, Madam de Real?
mdp.39015069330739	You know who she is, and where she is?
mdp.39015069330739	You love her?
mdp.39015069330739	You will now apologize to Lupin for hav- ing suspected him, eh?
mdp.39015069330739	You will return for luncheon?
mdp.39015069330739	Your proof?
mdp.39015069330739	''And who will accompany you, monsieur?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Are you sure of it?"
mdp.39015069330739	''At the police station?"
mdp.39015069330739	''But what are you doing here?
mdp.39015069330739	''Do they suspect you in the house?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Dubreuil, did you tell the moving men not to touch the wire of that bell?"
mdp.39015069330739	''Everything cleared out?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Everything?
mdp.39015069330739	''For an expedition of the same kind as we had tonight?"
mdp.39015069330739	''From a woman?''
mdp.39015069330739	''From me?
mdp.39015069330739	''How do you explain it?"
mdp.39015069330739	''How?
mdp.39015069330739	''Impossible — why?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Mademoiselle?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Monsieur Destro?''
mdp.39015069330739	''My answer?
mdp.39015069330739	''Tell me, when was the chateau de Crozon built?"
mdp.39015069330739	''That is quite certain, you say?''
mdp.39015069330739	''The opal necklace?
mdp.39015069330739	''Well, what do you think?''
mdp.39015069330739	''What am I waiting for?''
mdp.39015069330739	''What are you going to do?"
mdp.39015069330739	''What do you mean?''
mdp.39015069330739	''While you kept the genuine diamond?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Who lives on the fourth and fifth floors?''
mdp.39015069330739	''Why do you say:'under the name'?"
mdp.39015069330739	''Why so?
mdp.39015069330739	*"A woman of the world?"
mdp.39015069330739	+"What for?"
mdp.39015069330739	... Do you hear me?
mdp.39015069330739	... on the other side of the fence...""In the park?"
mdp.39015069330739	110 ARSENE LUPIN"Are you not afraid?"
mdp.39015069330739	132 ARSENE LUPIN"No, nothing disturbs me,"replied Sholmes, in a voice that trembled from rage;"besides, what's the use of losing my tem- per?
mdp.39015069330739	138 ARSENE LUPIN"But what about the secret passages?"
mdp.39015069330739	138 ARSENE LUPIN"That the blonde Lady will make her appearance?"
mdp.39015069330739	22 ARSENE LUPIN"Without producing the ticket, or, at least, without proving that you bought it?"
mdp.39015069330739	42 dur- ing my absence, didn't they?''
mdp.39015069330739	48 ARSENE LUPIN"What about the adjoining house?"
mdp.39015069330739	80 ARSENE LUPIN"Are you sure it is she?"
mdp.39015069330739	Afoot- bath?
mdp.39015069330739	After a few minutes Felix Davey spoke to the woman, without turning his head:"Ganimard?"
mdp.39015069330739	After a short silence, he asked, anxiously:"He will bring my daughter, wo n't he?"
mdp.39015069330739	Am I offered any more?
mdp.39015069330739	Am I right?"
mdp.39015069330739	And Lupin?"
mdp.39015069330739	And at what spot?
mdp.39015069330739	And how did they steal it?"
mdp.39015069330739	And now you have some busi- ness in England?"
mdp.39015069330739	And so has your friend?
mdp.39015069330739	And the half- million?''
mdp.39015069330739	And what is a Jewish lamp?"
mdp.39015069330739	And when?
mdp.39015069330739	And who else would know the story of those mysterious letters?
mdp.39015069330739	And why did they not merely steal it and be done with it?
mdp.39015069330739	And why did you entreat me to leave Paris immedi- ately without investigating this theft?"
mdp.39015069330739	And yet, why did they come this way?"
mdp.39015069330739	And you wish me to believe that you have no particu- lar motive for your adoption of that exciting life?"
mdp.39015069330739	Are the walls of your house furnished with eyes and ears?"
mdp.39015069330739	Are you Monsieur Gerbois?"
mdp.39015069330739	Are you crazy?''
mdp.39015069330739	Are you listening?
mdp.39015069330739	Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015069330739	At each of these interviews Wilson had remained outside; and each time he asked:"Satisfactory?"
mdp.39015069330739	At last, loosening her fingers, she said, in a voice rent by anguish:"And do you intend to tell all that to my father?"
mdp.39015069330739	At last, planting himself before them, he asked:"Is Mademoiselle here?"
mdp.39015069330739	At the end of an hour Wilson said:"The figures are correct, are n't they?"
mdp.39015069330739	Besides""Besides, What?"
mdp.39015069330739	Bresson?
mdp.39015069330739	But Sholmes insisted:"Three men who stopped on the road just on top of the bank?"
mdp.39015069330739	But VERSUS HERLOCK SHOLMES 23 what can they do against such a foe — a foe that scorns and ignores them?
mdp.39015069330739	But do you wish to speak before my father?
mdp.39015069330739	But have we sufficient time?''
mdp.39015069330739	But how and where will such an exchange be made?
mdp.39015069330739	But how could he manage it?
mdp.39015069330739	But how could the blonde lady remain a blonde after the murder of the baron and the theft of the diamond?"
mdp.39015069330739	But how did you manage to catch the eight o'clock train at Havre?
mdp.39015069330739	But how does he get his information?
mdp.39015069330739	But if by chance the wound prove mortal?
mdp.39015069330739	But let us proceed: I suppose the police have been notified?"
mdp.39015069330739	But the clock that was hanging on the wall of the cabin?"
mdp.39015069330739	But the ticket?
mdp.39015069330739	But what might be read on the houses in the avenue Henri- Martin?
mdp.39015069330739	But where are we going?
mdp.39015069330739	But where should we search for it?"
mdp.39015069330739	But will Herlock Sholmes succeed?
mdp.39015069330739	But, God bless me, Ganimard, what are you doing?
mdp.39015069330739	But, VERSUS HERLOCK SHOLMES 14?
mdp.39015069330739	But, do n't you think, Monsieur Lupin, that I can finish my business in Paris within a week?"
mdp.39015069330739	But, surely, you do n't suspect her?"
mdp.39015069330739	Come, what's the use?
mdp.39015069330739	Destange entered, speaking to someone who was fol- lowing her: 152 ARSENE LUPIN"So you have decided not to go out, father?
mdp.39015069330739	Destange not see him?
mdp.39015069330739	Destange, thirty years ago, have possibly foreseen the thefts of Arsene Lupin, who was then an infant?
mdp.39015069330739	Did I tell you to hide in the bushes and spy on me?"
mdp.39015069330739	Did n't I force him to disgorge the blue diamond?"
mdp.39015069330739	Did not the baron's secretary sleep in the ad- joining room?
mdp.39015069330739	Did she not hear him?
mdp.39015069330739	Did someone ring?
mdp.39015069330739	Did you expect to find my vis- iting list, or evidence of my business relations VERSUS HERLOCK SHOLMES 245"Are you crazy?"
mdp.39015069330739	Did you receive my telegram?"
mdp.39015069330739	Did you try to appropriate it while the Baron d'Hautrec possessed it?
mdp.39015069330739	Do I hear any more?
mdp.39015069330739	Do I hear any more?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do n't you think so?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do n't you un- derstand that the man is an accomplice of Arsene Lupin?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you not think it is time for us to be serious?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you remember?''
mdp.39015069330739	Do you suppose that my modiste and my friend Monsieur Bresson are the same person?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you think his antagonist would have permitted him to ring the bell in that leisurely manner?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you think you can succeed in it?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you understand, Wilson?"
mdp.39015069330739	Do you understand, captain?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you understand?
mdp.39015069330739	Do you want me?''
mdp.39015069330739	Does n't this second theft shatter your theory in re- gard to the first?"
mdp.39015069330739	Does poor Lupin worry you so much that you forget yourself?
mdp.39015069330739	Does she know that Maxime is none other than Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015069330739	Does that programme please you?
mdp.39015069330739	Everything going all right?"
mdp.39015069330739	Finally she stammered:"Is it possible?
mdp.39015069330739	First, what is the nature of the case?"
mdp.39015069330739	For the last time, yes or no?"
mdp.39015069330739	For what purpose?"
mdp.39015069330739	From the window he called to one of his assistants:"Seen anyone?"
mdp.39015069330739	Ganimard arose, laid his sooty hand on the sleeve of his superior officer's coat, and exclaimed, angrily:"Where do you think they are, chief?
mdp.39015069330739	Ganimard, have you turned chim- ney- sweep?''
mdp.39015069330739	Ganimard?
mdp.39015069330739	Gerbois from warning the police and, in that way, effecting the rescue of his daughter and, at the same time, keeping his money?
mdp.39015069330739	Gerbois said:"Shall we go and take a look at it before breakfast?"
mdp.39015069330739	Gerbois took a seat, wiped his fore- head, looked at his watch as if he did not know the time, and inquired, anxiously:"Will he come?"
mdp.39015069330739	Gerbois?"
mdp.39015069330739	Had he caught a glimpse of the truth at last?
mdp.39015069330739	Has monsieur a card?"
mdp.39015069330739	Have you 90 ARSENE LUPIN any objection to our engaging the services of Herlock Sholmes in this case?"
mdp.39015069330739	Have you formed any opinion on those points Gani- mard?"
mdp.39015069330739	Have you procured the stones you promised to bring?"
mdp.39015069330739	He approached her and, looking into her eyes, said:"Was it you, mademoiselle?
mdp.39015069330739	He bowed, and then said:"What's the trouble now, Ganimard?
mdp.39015069330739	He found the concierge and, showing his card, enquired:"Did four men pass here just now?"
mdp.39015069330739	He placed his watch on the table, opened the door of the room and addressing the blonde lady he said:"Are you ready my dear?"
mdp.39015069330739	He said to her:"So you paste stamps and marks on pa- pers?"
mdp.39015069330739	He said:"The letter written to my friend Herlock Sholmes was posted?"
mdp.39015069330739	He stopped one of the attendants of the auction room, and said:"Was it you who carried the letter to Mon- sieur Herschmann?"
mdp.39015069330739	Herlock Sholmes?"
mdp.39015069330739	How can you imagine such a thing?
mdp.39015069330739	How could he find out that I was going to invite you here, chief?
mdp.39015069330739	How could he find out those things?"
mdp.39015069330739	How could he know f''"Did you tell anyone that you had written to me?"
mdp.39015069330739	How could he know that I had found the first perfume bot- tle?
mdp.39015069330739	How did you approach her?"
mdp.39015069330739	How did you do it?"
mdp.39015069330739	How did you escape from The Swallow?"
mdp.39015069330739	How do you explain that?"
mdp.39015069330739	How long had this mysterious visitor been there?
mdp.39015069330739	How long will it take you to reach Southampton?"
mdp.39015069330739	How will he get out?
mdp.39015069330739	How would it help me?
mdp.39015069330739	How?
mdp.39015069330739	How?
mdp.39015069330739	How?
mdp.39015069330739	However, if the young girl should escape?
mdp.39015069330739	I HAT does monsieur wish?"
mdp.39015069330739	I am to give it to you?"
mdp.39015069330739	I supposed""What?
mdp.39015069330739	If I may be so bold as to inquire?"
mdp.39015069330739	If I sum- mon them to our assistance, how can the man slip through our fingers?"
mdp.39015069330739	If I wished to do so, I might become — what shall I say?
mdp.39015069330739	If Madame de Real had taken the ring, how do you explain the fact that it was found in Herr Bleichen's tooth- powder?
mdp.39015069330739	If it were not the baron, who was it?"
mdp.39015069330739	If the hostage held by Arsene Lupin should be rescued?
mdp.39015069330739	In that event, why submit to the conditions imposed by Sholmes?
mdp.39015069330739	Is Monsieur le Baron ill?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is everything ready?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is he here?''
mdp.39015069330739	Is it a bargain?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is it anything of conse- quence?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is it serious?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is n't that so, Wilson?"
mdp.39015069330739	Is not that a fair division?
mdp.39015069330739	Is the richest amateur sure to carry off the jewel?
mdp.39015069330739	It is a secret mission for you, eh?"
mdp.39015069330739	It is this: Did you have any spe- cial object in view when you bought that writ- ing- desk?"
mdp.39015069330739	It must have been committed in this room?"
mdp.39015069330739	It was possible that one of the newspapers had been cut by mademoiselle; but how could he assure himself that such was the case?
mdp.39015069330739	Kill the man?"
mdp.39015069330739	Lean to the right... Do you see him now?"
mdp.39015069330739	Lupin closed the door and addressed Sholmes abruptly, and almost rudely, as he said:"Well, what do you know?"
mdp.39015069330739	Lupin continued:"I beg your pardon, but have you every- thing you need?
mdp.39015069330739	Lupin folded his arms and said, with an air of indignation:"Did you suppose I would let you go away without bidding you adieu?
mdp.39015069330739	Lupin said to him:"All ready, captain?
mdp.39015069330739	Making a search?
mdp.39015069330739	Maxime Ber- mond is Arsene Lupin?
mdp.39015069330739	Monsieur Lupin?''
mdp.39015069330739	Monsieur did not have a card, but he had 150 ARSENE LUPIN Lupin and his associates will plunder in the future?
mdp.39015069330739	Monsieur le Baron?"
mdp.39015069330739	Must a person steal, cheat and wrong all the time?"
mdp.39015069330739	My poor father, what would we have done with that fortune?"
mdp.39015069330739	Na- poleon?
mdp.39015069330739	Now, Made- moiselle Antoinette, how far did we get in our reading?"
mdp.39015069330739	Now, do you under- stand the folly of your act?"
mdp.39015069330739	Now, have you considered how much precau- tion and skill those facts represent?"
mdp.39015069330739	Now, what do you know?"
mdp.39015069330739	Now, what do you think of the affair?
mdp.39015069330739	Now, what is to be done?
mdp.39015069330739	Now, who would know that, except an inmate of the house?"
mdp.39015069330739	Now, who, do you think, rang it?"
mdp.39015069330739	Of course, if he had sent me on such a foolish errand I would n't be surprised; but what was his object in dis- turbing you?"

mdp.39015069330739	Or is he doing it on purpose?
mdp.39015069330739	Or was he joking?
mdp.39015069330739	Or, rather, words already cut out that I can paste?"
mdp.39015069330739	Placing the trumpet to his mouth, he said:"Anyone around, Dubreuil?"
mdp.39015069330739	Rather a light- weight opponent, hein, Wilson?
mdp.39015069330739	Repressing a furious access of rage, Sholmes said to the man:"When did they hire you?"
mdp.39015069330739	Shall I take you there?''
mdp.39015069330739	She had engaged the young girl twelve days before, VERSUS HERLOCK SHOLMES 59 of the rue Clapeyron, the blonde lady and Arsene Lupin?"

mdp.39015069330739	She takes words out of the newspapers and pastes them""What does she make out of them?"
mdp.39015069330739	Sholmes asked him:"Did you see three men on bicycles a few minutes ago?"
mdp.39015069330739	Sholmes said to Lupin, in a friendly tone:"Do you know those gentlemen?"
mdp.39015069330739	Sholmes thought: Does she believe that she is in danger?
mdp.39015069330739	So the Englishman continued:"Do n't you think so yourself?"
mdp.39015069330739	Something troubles you; may I ask what it is?"

mdp.39015069330739	Still search- ing that cupboard?
mdp.39015069330739	Suddenly, Herlock Sholmes seized his friend by the shoulders and shook him violently, as he cried:"What are you doing here?

mdp.39015069330739	Ten minutes later he took a seat beside the Countess, and said to her:"Have you the ring here, madame?"

mdp.39015069330739	That I am a clairvoyant?
mdp.39015069330739	That was an easy prob- lem, eh?

mdp.39015069330739	Then they heard TERSU6 HERLOCK SHOLMES 45 him in the vestibule, speaking, in a loud voice:"Good- day, Ganimard, how goes it?
mdp.39015069330739	Then what is it?"
mdp.39015069330739	Then what was he to do with the man?
mdp.39015069330739	Then you do not expect to come here any more?"
mdp.39015069330739	Then, counting the detectives and police- men, he said:''How many are you, my friends?

njp.32101064670506	He never spoke of a — daughter?
njp.32101064670506	Her name?
njp.32101064670506	His name?
njp.32101064670506	How can you be sure there is n't already?
njp.32101064670506	How did you know about Quain — that we were together?
njp.32101064670506	How do you explain it?
njp.32101064670506	How do you know all this?
njp.32101064670506	How much longer shall you stay at Tanglewood, Miss Farrell?
njp.32101064670506	How should I have money to lend? njp.32101064670506 How should I know?"
njp.32101064670506	How — a reward?
njp.32101064670506	How's that? njp.32101064670506 How's that?"
njp.32101064670506	How?
njp.32101064670506	Hunted by whom?
njp.32101064670506	Hurt yourself, old man?
njp.32101064670506	I can leave my things here for a little while, I pre- sume?
njp.32101064670506	I presume you're wondering what I'm doing here?
njp.32101064670506	I think you said Quain? njp.32101064670506 I trust I make my meaning plain?"
njp.32101064670506	I've not offended you?
njp.32101064670506	I, hazoor? njp.32101064670506 I?
njp.32101064670506	If I have accomplished the task thou didst set for me, what concern hast thou with the means I did employ? njp.32101064670506 In love with you?
njp.32101064670506	In the Mofussil?
njp.32101064670506	Indeed?
njp.32101064670506	Indeed?
njp.32101064670506	Insects?
njp.32101064670506	Is it, then, your will that I should speak before this man?
njp.32101064670506	Is n't that a royal salute?
njp.32101064670506	Is n't this something extraordinary, Miss Farrell?
njp.32101064670506	Is not my lord content? njp.32101064670506 Is that so?
njp.32101064670506	Is that what you wanted to tell me, Saligh Singh?
njp.32101064670506	Is that you, Mr. Amber? njp.32101064670506 Is there more to say?"
njp.32101064670506	Is there need to ask? njp.32101064670506 Is this a time to loiter?
njp.32101064670506	It is true that you have the Token?
njp.32101064670506	It pleases my lord to jest,he complained;"but am I a child, to be played with?"
njp.32101064670506	It would n't've been me if! How many'd you pot, Davy?
njp.32101064670506	It's this,he explained:"what do you know about Calcutta?"
njp.32101064670506	Kathiapur?
njp.32101064670506	Knaow yeour wa- ay?
njp.32101064670506	May I see, please?
njp.32101064670506	Meaning — by force?
njp.32101064670506	Meanwhile, may I have my photograph?
njp.32101064670506	Mr. David Amber?
njp.32101064670506	Much to the contrary?
njp.32101064670506	My lord intends to shoot?
njp.32101064670506	My lord is satisfied with my credentials, then?
njp.32101064670506	My lord is satisfied?
njp.32101064670506	My lord will not forget?
njp.32101064670506	My lord,said the Maharana, pausing,"if thou wilt wait here for a little, permitting me to excuse myself?"
njp.32101064670506	Naraini?
njp.32101064670506	Nay, hazoor; how should I tell you now, when an- other sees and hears? njp.32101064670506 Nay, why should I neglect proper precautions?
njp.32101064670506	Nay,contended the babu reproachfully;"is it right that you should seek to hoodwink me?
njp.32101064670506	Now sit tight till I come back? njp.32101064670506 Now then,"he de- manded sternly,"what've you got to say for your- self?
njp.32101064670506	Now, will you please pay attention to me, my friend? njp.32101064670506 Oah, Mister Amber, I believe?"
njp.32101064670506	Of what?
njp.32101064670506	Oh, how did you guess?
njp.32101064670506	On your word, sahib?
njp.32101064670506	One,persisted Amber,"who might be known by such a name as, say, Pink Satin?"
njp.32101064670506	Or any other white man?
njp.32101064670506	Or if the Council should spare thee — as is unlikely? njp.32101064670506 Ram Nath,"he asked gently,"have you no other arms?"
njp.32101064670506	Really?
njp.32101064670506	Refractory vizier?
njp.32101064670506	Rutton, what the deuce is the matter?
njp.32101064670506	Rutton,he demanded suddenly, without premedita- tion,"what are you going to do?"
njp.32101064670506	Rutton?
njp.32101064670506	Sahiba,protested Ram Nath, with a great show of deference,"how should I know?
njp.32101064670506	Set upon it, dear man? njp.32101064670506 Shall we join Miss Farrell?"
njp.32101064670506	Shell Ah bresh yo'off?
njp.32101064670506	Shell Ah tek yo'things, suh?
njp.32101064670506	Still my lord distrusts me? njp.32101064670506 Such as the fact that Colonel Farrell adopted Rut- ton's daughter, who, as it happens, did survive her mother?
njp.32101064670506	That all?
njp.32101064670506	The Englishwoman of the picture?
njp.32101064670506	The Holkar of Indore?
njp.32101064670506	The boat?
njp.32101064670506	The kind that wants to retrench and institute reforms — railways and metalled roads and so forth?
njp.32101064670506	The law? njp.32101064670506 Then my explanation wo n't do?"
njp.32101064670506	Then what in"Eh?
njp.32101064670506	Then why wo n't my — my love for Sophia Farrell interfere?
njp.32101064670506	There's been one precedent, has n't there?
njp.32101064670506	This'Indian unrest'one reads of in the papers is not mere gossip, then?
njp.32101064670506	Thou wilt brave whatever may be prepared for thy testing, for the sake of Naraini, who awaits thee beyond the Gateway; O my Beloved?
njp.32101064670506	Thou wilt not draw back in the end?
njp.32101064670506	To Kathiawar — even to the threshold of the Gate- way? njp.32101064670506 To what end, Salig Singh?"
njp.32101064670506	Up there?
njp.32101064670506	Urgent as that, eh?
njp.32101064670506	We'll be going, now?
njp.32101064670506	Well, babu?
njp.32101064670506	Well, sir? njp.32101064670506 Well, then, what do you want?
njp.32101064670506	Well, what now?
njp.32101064670506	Well,curiosity prompted Amber to ask,"what do you want of me, then?"
njp.32101064670506	Well? njp.32101064670506 Well?"
njp.32101064670506	Well?
njp.32101064670506	Well?
njp.32101064670506	Well?
njp.32101064670506	What am I,whimpered Ram Nath,"to endure the wrath of the sahiba for a fault that is none of mine?"
njp.32101064670506	What are you drivelling about?
njp.32101064670506	What can I do?
njp.32101064670506	What deviltry's this?
njp.32101064670506	What did he do?
njp.32101064670506	What did you say?
njp.32101064670506	What do you want? njp.32101064670506 What does it mean, this eternal'I'round which the world revolves?"
njp.32101064670506	What else? njp.32101064670506 What is it?"
njp.32101064670506	What made you wait?
njp.32101064670506	What manner of security can you offer?
njp.32101064670506	What manner of talk is this?
njp.32101064670506	What name?
njp.32101064670506	What now?
njp.32101064670506	What treachery is this, dog?
njp.32101064670506	What's that? njp.32101064670506 What's the name of that gate, Ram Nath — if you happen to know?"
njp.32101064670506	What's this? njp.32101064670506 What's up here?
njp.32101064670506	What's, precisely, the nature of this tamasha, Colonel Farrell?
njp.32101064670506	What?
njp.32101064670506	What?
njp.32101064670506	Where is that tonga- wallah who deserted me here last night?
njp.32101064670506	Where'd I've been without Ram Nath? njp.32101064670506 Where's Raikes?"
njp.32101064670506	Where's the boss?
njp.32101064670506	Where,she continued, with an imperative stamp of a daintily- shod foot,"is that wretched tonga- wallah?"
njp.32101064670506	Where? njp.32101064670506 Where?"
njp.32101064670506	Whither?
njp.32101064670506	Who are you?
njp.32101064670506	Who are you?
njp.32101064670506	Who awaits me there? njp.32101064670506 Who can fathom a Hindu's mind?"
njp.32101064670506	Who is there?
njp.32101064670506	Who is this woman you want me to marry?
njp.32101064670506	Who sent you this photograph of me?
njp.32101064670506	Who?
njp.32101064670506	Why didst thou come? njp.32101064670506 Why do n't you smoke?"
njp.32101064670506	Why is that?
njp.32101064670506	Why not bring it to the light, and find out?
njp.32101064670506	Why not, if you felt like it? njp.32101064670506 Why not?"
njp.32101064670506	Why should I be?
njp.32101064670506	Why should it be assumed that I have any shadow of an inten- tion of entering that damnable Gateway of Swords?
njp.32101064670506	Why?
njp.32101064670506	Why?
njp.32101064670506	Why?
njp.32101064670506	With permission, I go, sahib; it were unwise to linger"There is no answer?
njp.32101064670506	Without Doggott?
njp.32101064670506	Yes —?
njp.32101064670506	Yes,said she provokingly;"does n't it?"
njp.32101064670506	You are the Mouthpiece of the Voice?
njp.32101064670506	You did n't'appen to notice which w'y'e went, sir?
njp.32101064670506	You do n't care for India?
njp.32101064670506	You do n't seriously mean to put off in this crazy hen- coop, do you?
njp.32101064670506	You do n't want to go?
njp.32101064670506	You do n't'ear anything, sir?
njp.32101064670506	You have?
njp.32101064670506	You insist on reciprocity?
njp.32101064670506	You knew it?
njp.32101064670506	You know the telegraph wires are cut?
njp.32101064670506	You know this fellow, David?
njp.32101064670506	You know this man, then?
njp.32101064670506	You mean here?
njp.32101064670506	You mean that medicine — the silver phial?
njp.32101064670506	You mean they've been cut?
njp.32101064670506	You mean you wo n't?
njp.32101064670506	You mean,Amber asked uncertainly,"thought transference?"
njp.32101064670506	You read the papers, do n't you, in America?
njp.32101064670506	You return to the telegraph station, I presume?
njp.32101064670506	You think so? njp.32101064670506 You understand Urdu?"
njp.32101064670506	You were to join your father in Darjeeling, I believe?
njp.32101064670506	You will be kind to her, and true, David? njp.32101064670506 You will obey?"
njp.32101064670506	You wo n't break it open?
njp.32101064670506	You wo n't give me a hint as to the complexion of my chances?
njp.32101064670506	You'll let me know to- morrow morning?
njp.32101064670506	You're a'ell of a job-'unter, ai n't you? njp.32101064670506 You're connected with the police?"
njp.32101064670506	You're joining me, Rut- ton?
njp.32101064670506	You're not hurt, I trust?
njp.32101064670506	You're set on this thing, I suppose?
njp.32101064670506	You're talking of the day you met Doggott at Nokomis station?
njp.32101064670506	You've surely not been so blind as to miss the occa- sional reports that leak out about native unrest in India?
njp.32101064670506	Your errand, babu?
njp.32101064670506	Your gun?
njp.32101064670506	Your name, tonga- wallah?
njp.32101064670506	Your pleasure, sahib?
njp.32101064670506	'Adn't you better come inside, sir?"
njp.32101064670506	'Know the w'y upstairs?"
njp.32101064670506	., But the'Body'— plainly that is India; the'Scarlet Evil'—could anything more fittingly describe Eng- lish rule from the native point of view?"
njp.32101064670506	.?
njp.32101064670506	.?"
njp.32101064670506	.Nay, be not angry; do I blame thee?
njp.32101064670506	216 THE BRONZE BELL"White arsenic cholera?"
njp.32101064670506	248 THE BRONZE BELL"Um- m. You are, eh?"
njp.32101064670506	78 THE BRONZE BELL"Why, what is there to do?
njp.32101064670506	82 THE BRONZE BELL"What do you mean by that?"
njp.32101064670506	Am I not worth a caress — not even when I beg for it?"
njp.32101064670506	Am I scorned, O my Lord — I, Naraini?
njp.32101064670506	Am I to be blamed for taking this for a sign of thy repentance?
njp.32101064670506	Am I to believe thee a madman, weary of life, that thou shouldst venture hither with a heart hardened against the Will of the Body?
njp.32101064670506	Amber?"
njp.32101064670506	Amber?"
njp.32101064670506	Amber?"
njp.32101064670506	Amber?"
njp.32101064670506	Amber?"
njp.32101064670506	Amber?"
njp.32101064670506	And as she spoke, Farrell called"Sophia?"
njp.32101064670506	And he wondered: was she laughing at him, softly, there in the shadows?
njp.32101064670506	And in return I have your word?"
njp.32101064670506	And now art thou prepared to go?"
njp.32101064670506	And of course they did n't tell you that Rutton committed suicide down there on Long Island, just after he had killed the babu?"
njp.32101064670506	And thou art ready?"
njp.32101064670506	And why have I been detained here, alone and unprotected, this long night?
njp.32101064670506	And you wo n't?"
njp.32101064670506	And you?"
njp.32101064670506	And you?"
njp.32101064670506	And your business here?"
njp.32101064670506	And your mother?"
njp.32101064670506	And, indeed, is it strange that I should take him for you, who was told to seek you in this wild land?"
njp.32101064670506	Any relation to Quain's 4 Aryan Invasion of India'?"
njp.32101064670506	Are n't we?"
njp.32101064670506	Besides, it's Romance — and what's a romance without a woman?"
njp.32101064670506	Beyond recall?
njp.32101064670506	But about the valet?"
njp.32101064670506	But am I to understand that com- pulsion is not to be used in order to get me to the Gate- way — wherever that is?
njp.32101064670506	But how to get through that guard out there?"
njp.32101064670506	But how to set about it?
njp.32101064670506	But presuming I chose to take it?"
njp.32101064670506	But say thou art spared: what then?
njp.32101064670506	But suppose I decline the invitation?"
njp.32101064670506	But thou — art thou in love with death?"
njp.32101064670506	But what's the matter?"
njp.32101064670506	But where in thunderation is it?"
njp.32101064670506	But who in blazes would ever have suspected you of being a British subject?"
njp.32101064670506	But why,"he insisted mercilessly,"do you wish me to be interested in you?"
njp.32101064670506	But, Rutton, why?
njp.32101064670506	Ca n't you see I'm being eaten alive by curiosity?"
njp.32101064670506	Can he not see, the dice are cast?
njp.32101064670506	Can it be a trap?
njp.32101064670506	Could it be from Quain's friend Laber- touche?
njp.32101064670506	Could it be possible that Sophia Farrell had been ad- vised of his coming?
njp.32101064670506	Could it be possible that this imperial greeting was intended for the man supposed to be the Maharana of Khandawar — Har Dyal Rutton?
njp.32101064670506	D'you want to sink us?
njp.32101064670506	Did n't'e say'e was childless?"
njp.32101064670506	Did they?"
njp.32101064670506	Do n't you realise what it means when a white woman disappears in this land of devils?
njp.32101064670506	Do n't you think it curious?
njp.32101064670506	Do you agree with me?
njp.32101064670506	Do you really believe I shall ever marry you?"
njp.32101064670506	Do you understand?"
njp.32101064670506	Do you?"
njp.32101064670506	Does he know anything more than I do?
njp.32101064670506	Eh, Raikes?"
njp.32101064670506	Eh?"
njp.32101064670506	Ere any come to disturb us?
njp.32101064670506	FROM A HIGH PLACE 261 however hard it be to credit: even so, am/ not reward enough for thy renunciation?"
njp.32101064670506	FROM A HIGH PLACE 267 of men only when Har Dyal Rutton had returned to his kingdom, and then only when he wore the Token?
njp.32101064670506	For I am beautiful, am I not?"
njp.32101064670506	Had he missed the catboat altogether?
njp.32101064670506	Has — has anything gone bad, sir?"
njp.32101064670506	Have I done aught but serve thee to the end thou dost desire?
njp.32101064670506	Have I not eyes with which to see you, ears that can hear you speak our tongue, hazoor?
njp.32101064670506	Have you married?"
njp.32101064670506	Have you thought of the significance of Chatterji's'Message of the Bell'?"
njp.32101064670506	He paused a little to collect his thoughts, then resumed:"Now see here, you're Salig Singh, Maharana of Khandawar?"
njp.32101064670506	He thrust it back into his pocket and enquired:"What's o'clock?"
njp.32101064670506	He wondered dimly, why; could the goldsmith have been warned of his coming?
njp.32101064670506	How could he look ahead and scheme to circumvent the unguessable machinations of the unknown?
njp.32101064670506	How did you know?"
njp.32101064670506	How do I know?"
njp.32101064670506	How do you come to have it?
njp.32101064670506	How had he come to that stateroom?
njp.32101064670506	How in blazes does he know anything about the Farrells?
njp.32101064670506	How in thunder d'you know it wo n't?"
njp.32101064670506	How long art thou prepared to wait until the Members of the Body shall again be in such complete accord as now?
njp.32101064670506	How long have you been out in this infernal night?
njp.32101064670506	How many'd you expect to drop, on a snap- shot like that?"
njp.32101064670506	How might he plan against forces of whose very nature he was ignorant — save that he guessed them to be evil?
njp.32101064670506	How should I?"
njp.32101064670506	How?"
njp.32101064670506	Huh — what?"
njp.32101064670506	I am glad to see you again, truly; and — we're to travel on to Kuttarpur in the same tonga?"
njp.32101064670506	I can not but ask myself continually: Were it not wiser to confess failure and abide the outcome?"
njp.32101064670506	I mean, I'm free to exercise my judgment, whether or not I shall go — free to leave this place and return to my hotel?"
njp.32101064670506	I presume you do n't feel the need of a capable assistant yet?"
njp.32101064670506	I recalled that Rutton had one very close friend, an Englishman named Farrell""Oh, what's the use?"
njp.32101064670506	I wired yesterday""Yeour name's Amber, ai nt it?"
njp.32101064670506	I wo n't""You do n't want to stay here all night, do you?"
njp.32101064670506	I'm not Rutton and I'm nothing like Rutton; I am an American citizen and""Pardon, hazoor, but is this worth thy while?
njp.32101064670506	If I was told that Har Dyal Rutton would be in India upon such- and- such a day, am I to blame that I did promise to bring him to the Gateway?"
njp.32101064670506	If she were made to suspect, to under- stand, what effect would it have upon their relations, slight and but lately established as they were?
njp.32101064670506	If thou are not my lord the rightful Maharana of Khandawar, how is it that thou hast answered the summons of the Bell?
njp.32101064670506	If you are perfectly sincere in asserting that, you force me to think you""Mad?
njp.32101064670506	In the morning Doggott will ferry you over""Sha n't we go together?"
njp.32101064670506	Is it a bargain, 0 Pearl of Khandawar?"
njp.32101064670506	Is it not known — does not all Khandawar know how I have waited for thee, almost thy widow ere thy wife, all this weary time?
njp.32101064670506	Is it really anything worth while?"
njp.32101064670506	Is it wise to forget that Naraini holds thy fate in the hollow of her hands?"
njp.32101064670506	Is my lord still minded for battle or for peace?
njp.32101064670506	Is n't it known?"
njp.32101064670506	Is n't it what you came to see?"
njp.32101064670506	Is romance commonplace to you?"
njp.32101064670506	Is that language plain enough for you?"
njp.32101064670506	Is this insolence to be suffered by a Rajput, a son of Kings?"
njp.32101064670506	It is late and the sepoys sleep; if you will be circumspect and are not afraid""Who are you?"
njp.32101064670506	It's after four, now, and as soon as it's daylight You must have a boat somewhere about?"
njp.32101064670506	It's very pretty of you to assert an interest in me; but why should you as- sume that I""You said so, did n't you?"
njp.32101064670506	Look here, my dear, had n't you better come to your senses and let me go before""Let thee go, Lalji, ere what?
njp.32101064670506	M And who are you from?"
njp.32101064670506	May I offer you my services?
njp.32101064670506	May I see this ring — this Token?"
njp.32101064670506	Mine is cold?
njp.32101064670506	Nay, but who should come between hus- band and wife in the first hour of their reunion after many years of separation?
njp.32101064670506	Nay, why shouldst thou falter?
njp.32101064670506	No?
njp.32101064670506	Now what d'you want with me?"
njp.32101064670506	Now will 176 THE BRONZE BELL you be good enough to order a ghari to take me back to the Great Eastern?"
njp.32101064670506	Now you?
njp.32101064670506	Now, what do you want?"
njp.32101064670506	Of what avail its dicta against the rulings of the Bell?
njp.32101064670506	Or do you wish me to turn and rend myself with curiosity — after I've attended to these ex- cellent sandwiches?
njp.32101064670506	Or had he gained it only to find the motor disabled or the pro- peller fouled with the wiry eel- grass that choked the shoals?
njp.32101064670506	Or is it that thy heart hath forgotten thy child- bride?
njp.32101064670506	Or thou art overcome with joy, as I am overcome, and smitten dumb by it, as I am not?
njp.32101064670506	Or( last and most grudged guess of all) had the"skimmy"proved as unseaworthy as its dilapidated appearance had proclaimed it?
njp.32101064670506	Per- chance surprise hath robbed thee of thy wits — and thy tongue as well, O wordless one?
njp.32101064670506	Perchance,"she told him archly,"thou didst not think to see me so soon, or in this garden?
njp.32101064670506	Rutton?"
njp.32101064670506	Rutton?"
njp.32101064670506	Rutton?"
njp.32101064670506	Say, shall I perish?"
njp.32101064670506	Shall we drink a toast?"
njp.32101064670506	She repeated the name:"Rutton?
njp.32101064670506	Should n't I know — I, who am to be her husband, her protector?"
njp.32101064670506	Simply be- cause that other tonga- wallah was a fool, am I to be imposed upon in this fashion?"
njp.32101064670506	So you think my insight into native character a sort of birthright — a sense inherited?"
njp.32101064670506	Surely thou hast it with thee?"
njp.32101064670506	THE LONG DAY 195"You were?
njp.32101064670506	Tell me thou art not afraid, my king?"
njp.32101064670506	Tell me, now, do you know of any letters or papers of his that we should destroy?
njp.32101064670506	Then I understand that the tam- asha is the reason for the encampment beyond the walls?"
njp.32101064670506	There's nothing else?"
njp.32101064670506	Thou art not minded to withdraw thy hand?"
njp.32101064670506	Thou didst see the saddled stallions in the courtyard?
njp.32101064670506	Thou wilt not keep me waiting longer?"
njp.32101064670506	Was n't it to get Miss Farrell out of the country?"
njp.32101064670506	We'll"He cut his words short and got up abruptly with a sharp exclamation:"What's that?"
njp.32101064670506	Well, what are you waiting for?"
njp.32101064670506	Well, what do you want?"
njp.32101064670506	Well, what then?"
njp.32101064670506	Well?"
njp.32101064670506	What are secrets in the house of kings?
njp.32101064670506	What are you doing here, anyway?"
njp.32101064670506	What became of the other man — your friend?"
njp.32101064670506	What could the name of the vessel be?
njp.32101064670506	What did he, Amber, know of Rutton's par- entage or history that would refute the calm belief of the body- servant of the dead man?
njp.32101064670506	What do you mean by frightening this lady's horse?
njp.32101064670506	What do you mean by that?
njp.32101064670506	What do you say?"
njp.32101064670506	What do you think this is, anyway — an excursion steamer?
njp.32101064670506	What do you want with me?"
njp.32101064670506	What had happened to bring 350 A LATER DAY 351 him back to life( for he was sure that he had died, a long time ago)?
njp.32101064670506	What had it to do with the Gateway of Swords, the Voice, the Mind, the Eye, the Body, the Bell?
njp.32101064670506	What have you been doing these three years?
njp.32101064670506	What have you been doing with your- self these past three years?"
njp.32101064670506	What is thy welcome?"
njp.32101064670506	What kind of a per- son was'e, sir, and what made Mr. Rutton go aw'y with'i m?"
njp.32101064670506	What need to show deference to a down- at- the- heel sailor from the Port?
njp.32101064670506	What of yourself?
njp.32101064670506	What profit can he think to win through furtherance of this farce?"
njp.32101064670506	What right have you to it?"
njp.32101064670506	What to us women in whose bodies runs the blood of royalty, is an edict of your English Government?
njp.32101064670506	What — finally — was the ordeal of the Gateway of Swords, and what could it be that made the Gateway of Death seem preferable to it?
njp.32101064670506	What're you waiting for?
njp.32101064670506	What's that there?"
njp.32101064670506	What's the matter?"
njp.32101064670506	What's there to tell?
njp.32101064670506	What's this?"
njp.32101064670506	What's your name?"
njp.32101064670506	What's your part in this infamous outrage?"
njp.32101064670506	What, the Sir- kar itself to us in Khandawar?"
njp.32101064670506	When again shall all Hindustan be ripe for revolt?
njp.32101064670506	When do you want to start?"
njp.32101064670506	Where's this maiden in distress?"
njp.32101064670506	Where's your boat?"
njp.32101064670506	Whereabout's the boat?"
njp.32101064670506	Who am I to know aught?
njp.32101064670506	Who and what am I?"
njp.32101064670506	Who else?
njp.32101064670506	Who is there?
njp.32101064670506	Who is there?
njp.32101064670506	Who was he?
njp.32101064670506	Why d'you insist on beating round the bush forever?
njp.32101064670506	Why did he send it?"
njp.32101064670506	Why didst thou not tarry to eavesdrop?
njp.32101064670506	Why do you value it so highly?"
njp.32101064670506	Why have you brought me here?"
njp.32101064670506	Why need it ever be known — what has happened to- night?
njp.32101064670506	Why on earth should Labertouche make an ap- pointment in so unholy a spot?
njp.32101064670506	Why should I pour out my woes to you — a man I've known not fifteen minutes?"
njp.32101064670506	Why should I trouble to deceive thee, Heaven- born?
njp.32101064670506	Why should the police concern themselves with peaceful wayfarers?
njp.32101064670506	Why should you?
njp.32101064670506	Why?
njp.32101064670506	Why?"
njp.32101064670506	Will you help me?"
njp.32101064670506	Will you tell me something?"
njp.32101064670506	Wilt thou come?"
njp.32101064670506	Wo n't you do this for me — one last favour, old friend?"
njp.32101064670506	Wo n't you tell me?
njp.32101064670506	Would she shrink from or encourage him?
njp.32101064670506	Yet what could he do, save be passive for the time, and wait upon the turn of events?
njp.32101064670506	You are free to leave this country for several months?"
njp.32101064670506	You are n't thinkin'it's come to that, sir?"
njp.32101064670506	You came by the Poonah?"
njp.32101064670506	You do n't expect me to believe that you still stick to that absurd fiction of yours — that I'm Rutton?"
njp.32101064670506	You have n't, have you?
njp.32101064670506	You know the yarn about him?"
njp.32101064670506	You mean you're to lead me to somebody, somewhere — you ca n't say where?"
njp.32101064670506	You remember the money- lender's name?"
njp.32101064670506	You will be kind to her, David?"
njp.32101064670506	You'll follow?
njp.32101064670506	You'll love her faithfully and make her love you?"
njp.32101064670506	Your latest book was entitled'The Peoples of the Hindu Kush,'was n't it?
njp.32101064670506	and when is this to happen, please — in the name of impudence?"
njp.32101064670506	are you ill?"
njp.32101064670506	art thou willing to be put to the proof, my king?"
njp.32101064670506	for what purpose did Rutton ask you to come to India?
njp.32101064670506	was ever a woman at loss for words to voice her happiness?"
njp.32101064670506	what?
njp.32101064670506	why?"
njp.32101064670506	will you marry me?"
njp.32101064670506	would he ever leave it?
njp.32101064670506	you will go to India?"
njp.32101064670506	« Why?"
nyp.33433074878764	- “ Did you say that you had received money? ” And Anna answered, truthfully, “ Yes, Herr Head; I did say that. ” “ Fool!
nyp.33433074878764	146 Good Old Anna “ Will you look at the pictures in these papers, Frau Bauer?
nyp.33433074878764	329 Good Old Anna 335 “ Was that the man who came for them this morn- ing? ” asked Mrs. Guthrie.
nyp.33433074878764	A British Army going to France — to Bel- gium?
nyp.33433074878764	After the war?
nyp.33433074878764	And Frau Bauer?
nyp.33433074878764	And Mrs. Otway?
nyp.33433074878764	And had any of these officers who came and called on your two ladies reason to suppose that the war was coming? ” Anna stared at him, surprised.
nyp.33433074878764	And then Anna?
nyp.33433074878764	And then what d'you think the silly old thing said, Manfred? ” “ You will have to get into the way of calling me Alfred, ” he said calmly.
nyp.33433074878764	And then?
nyp.33433074878764	And this was why Anna had spoken as she had done just now, in that rather rude and injured tone?
nyp.33433074878764	And what is the name of the place? ” “ Boulogne, ” she said readily.
nyp.33433074878764	And yet?
nyp.33433074878764	And, Mr. Hegner?
nyp.33433074878764	Anna?
nyp.33433074878764	As she went through the door, the nurse stopped her and said, “ Would you go into Mr. Robey's study, Miss Otway?
nyp.33433074878764	At last her mother asked her casually, “ Has Jervis Blake written to you, my darling? ” And she said, “ Yes, mother; once.
nyp.33433074878764	But as her trousseau is not ready, my sister thinks it would be a very stupid thing to do. ” “ Did the Dean get my letter? ” he asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074878764	But at last, with a touch of impatience, she broke across these ill- timed reminis- cences with the words, “ But now, Anna?
nyp.33433074878764	But may I ask a favour of the gracious lady?
nyp.33433074878764	But suddenly, in a startled, suppressed whisper, he exclaimed, “ Who ’s that? ” Anna looked round.
nyp.33433074878764	But the most insidious of all tempters, Nature her- self, whispered in his ear, “ Why not simply tell her that you love her?
nyp.33433074878764	But wait a moment — are they the people with whom he sometimes goes and stays in Sussex? ” “ Yes; he stayed with them just after Christmas.
nyp.33433074878764	But we must not seem too pleased, must we, Herr Hegner? ” And he shook his head.
nyp.33433074878764	But what was this he was now saying?
nyp.33433074878764	But why tell her such a silly lie?
nyp.33433074878764	But — but do you then know Willi, Mr. Hegner? ” The man sitting opposite to her remained silent for a moment.
nyp.33433074878764	But, Mrs. Ot- way?
nyp.33433074878764	But, Mrs. Otway?
nyp.33433074878764	But, after all, you may hate the sin and love the sinner! ” “ Will you feel the same when Germans have killed Englishmen? ” he asked idly.
nyp.33433074878764	By now he must be there, fighting our folk. ” “ Major Guthrie? ” He looked puzzled.
nyp.33433074878764	Ca n't you go up by that nice early morning train, my dear? ” Mrs. Otway shook her head.
nyp.33433074878764	Casualties?
nyp.33433074878764	Could Ma- jor Guthrie have been mistaken?
nyp.33433074878764	Could it be — she hoped it was — here?
nyp.33433074878764	D'you hear, Polly?
nyp.33433074878764	Do I make myself clear? ” “ Yes, yes.
nyp.33433074878764	Do n't you remember my bringing you an account of it, Anna? ” She did not wait for an answer.
nyp.33433074878764	Do n't you remember that we nearly quarrelled over it?
nyp.33433074878764	Do you advise me, Mr. Hegner, to take my money out of the Savings Bank just now?
nyp.33433074878764	Do you indeed?
nyp.33433074878764	Do you intend to keep her? ” “ Yes, of course I do. ” Mrs. Otway felt hurt and angry.
nyp.33433074878764	Does my little sugar lamb want a treat? ” Polly knew that when he called her his little sugar lamb it meant that he was in high good- humour.
nyp.33433074878764	German credit is likely to suffer greatly before this war is over. ” “ But Major Guthrie?
nyp.33433074878764	Hamburg Loan? ” he asked, quietly going back to his armchair.
nyp.33433074878764	Has he been killed? ” “ Oh, no — it's not as bad as that!
nyp.33433074878764	Have I your word — your oath — on that? ” “ Certainly, ” she said soberly.
nyp.33433074878764	Have you had bad news from home? ” He shook his head, and she saw that he was trying to smile.
nyp.33433074878764	Have you much in? ” As he spoke, he was filling up a foreign telegraph form, printing the words in.
nyp.33433074878764	He went straight to those Pol- lits — you follow my meaning?
nyp.33433074878764	He, surely, would not repulse her?
nyp.33433074878764	Head here knows, does she, about my? ” And then at once between Alfred Head's teeth came the angry command, in her own language, to speak German.
nyp.33433074878764	His marching orders?
nyp.33433074878764	His work was mostly, you see, over there. ” “ Still he was educated here, surely? ” “ That is so, gracious lady.
nyp.33433074878764	How about Sunday?
nyp.33433074878764	How could he be impatient, still less unkind, to this sweet, gentle woman?
nyp.33433074878764	How could you say such a thing? ” She felt confused, unhappy, surprised, awkward, grateful.
nyp.33433074878764	How long?
nyp.33433074878764	I I4 Good Old Anna “ I wonder, ” said Jervis Blake hoarsely, “ I wonder, Rose, if you would do me a great kindness?
nyp.33433074878764	I did n't like to make the obvious answer xx “ And what is the obvious answer? ” asked Rose, wrenching her hand away from his.
nyp.33433074878764	I may count on your discretion, may I not? ” He looked at her a little anxiously.
nyp.33433074878764	I should have thought he would have been in to see you. ” “ You mean the son of the old lady who lives at Dorycote?
nyp.33433074878764	I suppose Major Guthrie is your brother? ” And then the other answered quietly, “ No, he's not my brother.
nyp.33433074878764	I suppose you've heard what's happened? ” And then, as she had laughed — she had really not been able to help it( how very odd James was!
nyp.33433074878764	I went to meet a young niece of mine there — you know, the girl who was in Germany so long. ” “ In Germany? ” Mrs. Otway turned round eagerly.
nyp.33433074878764	I will take care of them for you till the end of the War. ” “ Very little money? ” repeated Anna, in a horrified, bewildered tone.
nyp.33433074878764	I wonder if you are aware that you will only be allowed to take away a very little money?
nyp.33433074878764	I'm in no hurry, if you can spare the time? ” Rose spoke rather quickly and breath- lessly.
nyp.33433074878764	In what other way could he, the man to whom she was speaking, know her address?
nyp.33433074878764	Is not that so? ” 82 Good Old Anna “ There is a good deal of visiting, ” she said quickly.
nyp.33433074878764	Is not the Reverend gentleman truly good? ” “ Yes, indeed, ” said Mrs. Hegner, a trifle mechani- cally.
nyp.33433074878764	Is she at home? ” “ No, she's out in the town, doing some business for me — or rather trying to do it!
nyp.33433074878764	Is that so? ” “ Yes, ” she answered apathetically.
nyp.33433074878764	Is there anything I can do for you?
nyp.33433074878764	It had been settled during the last few days, had it not, that you and Jervis were to be married before he went back to the Front?
nyp.33433074878764	It was all very well to praise the gallant little Belgians, but why should that be done at the expense of the Germans?
nyp.33433074878764	Mrs. Otway, she is too broad- minded a lady to mind, is she not? ” “ Ach!
nyp.33433074878764	Mrs. Purlock drunk again, eh? ” “ Well, yes — as a matter of fact the poor woman was quite drunk this morning!
nyp.33433074878764	My mistress will I ask if I an evening free have can. ” “ Is it necessary her to ask? ” The question was put doubtfully.
nyp.33433074878764	Now there is surely no one belonging to your family likely to fight?
nyp.33433074878764	Of course no German yachts could have competed, but apart from that, why should not the regatta have gone on just the same?
nyp.33433074878764	Oh, it's you, is it, Rose?
nyp.33433074878764	Oh- and, Frau Bauer?
nyp.33433074878764	Otway?
nyp.33433074878764	Perhaps you could come up and have tea with him about five o'clock?
nyp.33433074878764	Polly, d'you hear that?
nyp.33433074878764	Russia?
nyp.33433074878764	See?
nyp.33433074878764	Send their good old Anna back to Germany?
nyp.33433074878764	She did not once mention Major Guth- 198 Good Old Anna hear anything, you would not mind telegraphing to me direct?
nyp.33433074878764	She is nearer thirty than twenty, and he is forty- six. ” “ Is she the young lady who came to stay with you some time ago? ” asked Mrs. Otway.
nyp.33433074878764	She knew the battle was won, and it was very collectedly that she added the words, “ Now, I have your promise, Jervis?
nyp.33433074878764	So he has gone out too?
nyp.33433074878764	So of course I did so. ” “ Did he give you any idea of what he had brought you to keep? ” asked Mrs. Guthrie.
nyp.33433074878764	So where would be the good of our small army? ” That had been on Sunday, only two days after Major Guthrie had gone.
nyp.33433074878764	Suspected Anna Bauer? ” repeated Mrs. Guthrie, in a bewildered tone.
nyp.33433074878764	That it was all a mistake? ” Mrs. Otway looked surprised.
nyp.33433074878764	That question was: Did poor old Anna know?
nyp.33433074878764	The fall of Namur without effect on the Expeditionary Force?
nyp.33433074878764	The meeting is due to begin, is n't it?
nyp.33433074878764	The one good point about it is that it wo n't last long. ” “ How long? ” she had called out.
nyp.33433074878764	Then he has talked to you of them? ” “ I do n't think he's ever exactly talked of them, ” an- swered Mrs. Otway.
nyp.33433074878764	Then she said slowly, reluctantly: “ And mother?
nyp.33433074878764	Then you're not expecting Miss Rose back for a minute or two? ” “ Oh, no!
nyp.33433074878764	Twenty pounds?
nyp.33433074878764	Unfortunately, or was it fortunately?
nyp.33433074878764	Vereker?
nyp.33433074878764	Was it to please Willi? ” “ Yes, ” said Anna in an embarrassed tone.
nyp.33433074878764	Was n't it something implying that he was going there to please his mother — that he would far rather stay at home?
nyp.33433074878764	Was n't that strange? ” Rose looked very much shocked and distressed — curiously so, considering how little she had known Mrs. Guthrie.
nyp.33433074878764	What could he mean?
nyp.33433074878764	What did he mean?
nyp.33433074878764	What do you say to that? ” 3OO Good Old Anna “ Splendid! ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074878764	What is it?
nyp.33433074878764	What is it? ” There was something very kind, truly sympathetic, in her accents.
nyp.33433074878764	What more natural than that Major Guthrie should like a nice girl — one, too, who was, it seemed, half Scotch?
nyp.33433074878764	What must he and thou- sands of others like him — excellent, industrious, civil- spoken Germans — feel all through England to- day?
nyp.33433074878764	What sort of book- learning had Napoleon's marshals?
nyp.33433074878764	What was it Mr. Hegner wanted to say to her?
nyp.33433074878764	What was the money she had earned — a few paltry pounds — compared with all this fearful trouble?
nyp.33433074878764	What would she, Mary Otway, what would her daughter, Rose, do without Anna?
nyp.33433074878764	What's the mat- ter?
nyp.33433074878764	Who on earth could it be that this man so strongly resembled?
nyp.33433074878764	Why do n't you tell me?
nyp.33433074878764	Why make all that fuss over the fact that Major Guthrie was a prisoner in Germany?
nyp.33433074878764	Why, d'you know him? ” “ I should think I do!
nyp.33433074878764	Why, you once helped me about him, did n't you?
nyp.33433074878764	Will they not be taking all the money for the war? ” “ I think I should take it out.
nyp.33433074878764	Will you just give him this?
nyp.33433074878764	Will you telephone for a fly?
nyp.33433074878764	Would you go on into the Cathedral with me, just for three or four minutes?
nyp.33433074878764	Would you kindly get it cashed for me, and would you bring down the money to- morrow when you come?
nyp.33433074878764	Would you like me to send Ponting in with it? ’ And she calls out, ‘ No, Howse.
nyp.33433074878764	Yes? ” And then her face cleared, and she even smiled into the telephone receiver.
nyp.33433074878764	You are — let me see — with Mrs. Otway? ” “ Oh yes, ” she said, brightening.
nyp.33433074878764	You must say Are you attending, Frau Bauer? ” She had sunk down again on her bench; she felt her legs turning to cotton- wool.
nyp.33433074878764	You seem to approve of marriage, Sir Jacques? ” She was looking into his face with an eager, kindly look.
nyp.33433074878764	You're good now, eh?
nyp.33433074878764	‘ Wounded and missing'?
nyp.33433074878764	“ A difference? ” exclaimed Anna ruefully.
nyp.33433074878764	“ And are you thinking of staying on in your present position?
nyp.33433074878764	“ And how about your son, Mr. Hegner? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074878764	“ And you understand, do you not, Frau Bauer, that under no conceivable cir- cumstances are you to bring me into the affair?
nyp.33433074878764	“ And you”—he turned on his wife furiously—“what busi- ness had you to say that about those young Ger- man men?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Anna, what is the matter? ” “ Afflicted I am ” sobbed the old woman.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Are you sure — quite sure — of what you say? ” “ Yes, I am quite sure, ” he spoke rather grimly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Bachelors, ” he said meditatively, “ sometimes have a way of playing the very mischief between married couples — eh, Mrs. Otway?
nyp.33433074878764	“ But I was in the United States for some years. ” 342 344 Good Old Anna in there?
nyp.33433074878764	“ But John? ” “ Yes. ” Good Old Anna 255 “ Do n’t you sometimes feel dreadfully jealous of her? ” “ I?
nyp.33433074878764	“ But John? ” “ Yes. ” Good Old Anna 255 “ Do n’t you sometimes feel dreadfully jealous of her? ” “ I?
nyp.33433074878764	“ But John? ” “ Yes. ” Good Old Anna 255 “ Do n’t you sometimes feel dreadfully jealous of her? ” “ I?
nyp.33433074878764	“ But a little sum — yes. ” “ How much? ” She hesitated uncomfortably.
nyp.33433074878764	“ But how do you know all this? ” he asked slowly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ But now I suppose you are thinking of yourself, Frau Bauer? ” Polly broke in: “ Do talk in English, ” she said pettishly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ But whose motor is that? ” Mr. Hayley went on, in a puzzled tone.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Can I speak to Mrs. Vereker? ” she asked, timidly addressing one of the ladies nearest the door.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Could I this afternoon you see? ” “ Not this afternoon, ” answered Anna, “ but this evening, I think yes.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Could you leave it with me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Could you really conveniently let me have as much as twenty pounds? ” and she held him out the cheque: “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Did you not put plainly on every card “ Entrance by Market Row, Polly? ” “ Yes, ” she said, a little frightened by his look.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Did you really think it necessary to do such a thing?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Do n’t you? ” said Miss Forsyth drily.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Do you expect them back soon?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Do you know where you will land in France? ” she asked, more to say something than for any real reason, for she knew very little of France.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Do you mean to tell your mother? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Have you made any plans yet? ” “ We are thinking of going to London, and of making a fresh start there.
nyp.33433074878764	“ How d'you mean ‘ explain ’? ” he said roughly, in English.
nyp.33433074878764	“ I fancy you've had this in your mind for some time. ” “ What makes you fancy that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878764	“ I had hoped to have cleared out my room while the wedding in progress was. ” “ Your luggage? ” repeated James Hayley uncom- fortably.
nyp.33433074878764	“ I should n't be sur- prised if he enlisted. ” “ Oh, I hope he wo n't do that? ” Mrs. Otway was shocked at the suggestion.
nyp.33433074878764	“ I suppose he is in Germany now?
nyp.33433074878764	“ I wonder if Rose would like a broad or narrow wedding ring? ” said Lady Blake thoughtfully.
nyp.33433074878764	“ I wonder what I ’d better do? ” he mut- tered helplessly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ I ’ve been wondering if Rose would come back with me and see Edith?
nyp.33433074878764	“ I ’ve quite a lot of money here, with me now. ” “ I wonder if you would be so kind as to cash me a cheque? ” She grew a little pink.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is every- thing all right? ” “ Yes — everything's settled.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is he a gentleman of the garrison?—surely not? ” “ No, no.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is not that so? ” he said, looking at her fixedly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is she with you now?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is this Rose, ” he said—“Rose Otway? ” and taking her hand gripped it hard.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is this Rose?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is this the place, ” she asked, “ where one makes, inquiries about prisoners of war? ” He jumped up and saluted.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Is your son going to Belgium, Mr. Fröhling? ” “ Not that I know of, ” said the other.
nyp.33433074878764	“ It is a hospitable house. ” “ Not often gentlemen of the garrison, I suppose? ” “ Indeed, yes, ” cried Anna eagerly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ It ’s made me feel a young man again — that's what it's done! ” “ How does your mother take it? ” asked Mrs. Ot- way slowly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Major Guthrie? ” she began, a little shyly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ My mother has fine qualities, once you get under that — well, shall I call it that London veneer?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Oh, John, you do n't know, you do n't understand, what this will mean to him! ” “ Do n't I? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Oh, bother! ” “ Well, what did the reverend gentleman say? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Rose, ” he cried—“Rose, do you really care, a little, what happens to me?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Rose? ” he cried out suddenly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ So?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Then you do n't expect to be long in London? ” she said.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Then you, ” went on Mr. Reynolds, “ have never suspected her at all, Mrs. Guthrie?
nyp.33433074878764	“ To Ostend? ” She had once spent a summer at Ostend in a boarding- house, where she had been hard- worked and starved.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Unsay, do unsay what you have just said, kind Mr. Head l ’ ” “ How can I unsay what is the fact? ” he answered savagely.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Wants to see something of war, does he?
nyp.33433074878764	“ We ’ve always been friends, you and I, have n't we, Jervis? ” And again he simply nodded in answer to the question.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Well, I suppose this mar- riage will make a difference to you? ” he said in English.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Well, Mary, ” she said, “ what's the matter now?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Well, Mr. Fröhling, the International have n't done much the last few days, eh?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Well, ” she said, “ well, Mrs. Bauer? ”( she had never been as familiar with Anna as were most of Mrs. Otway's friends).
nyp.33433074878764	“ What are you going to do now? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878764	“ What can that be? ” he said to his wife.
nyp.33433074878764	“ What do you mean, Herr Hegner?
nyp.33433074878764	“ What is it, Rose?
nyp.33433074878764	“ What is it?
nyp.33433074878764	“ What is this? ” he cried in a loud voice.
nyp.33433074878764	“ What is to happen if to- morrow Mrs. Otway comes and tells me that I am to go away to London, to Louisa?
nyp.33433074878764	“ What would be the best time for the person who will come to call? ” Anna hesitated.
nyp.33433074878764	“ What's that? ” exclaimed Mr. Reynolds.
nyp.33433074878764	“ What's that? ” he asked uneasily.
nyp.33433074878764	“ What's this you're taking out of the house, Anna? ” Mr. Hayley's tone was not very pleasant.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Who can it be? ” said Mrs. Hegner uneasily.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Who has that you told? ” “ The police. ” “ A bad business, ” wailed Anna.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Who's there?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Why is everything different now? ” He looked round at her with an air of genuine surprise, and, yes, of indignation, in his steady grey eyes.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Would my darling child like that for her supper — with a nice little potato salad as well? ” But Rose shook her head.
nyp.33433074878764	“ Yes, Jervis?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Yes, Mrs. Ot- way? ” “ I only want to ask if you would like me to write to you regularly with news of Mrs. Guthrie? ” “ Will you really?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Yes, Mrs. Ot- way? ” “ I only want to ask if you would like me to write to you regularly with news of Mrs. Guthrie? ” “ Will you really?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Yes, Mrs. Ot- way? ” “ I only want to ask if you would like me to write to you regularly with news of Mrs. Guthrie? ” “ Will you really?
nyp.33433074878764	“ Yes? ” he said rather quickly.
nyp.33433074878764	“ You know how it is in England?
nyp.33433074878764	“ You may count on me. ” “ Frau Bauer? ” She turned back.
nyp.33433074878764	“ You mean, ” she faltered, “ you mean because — because England is at war? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074878764	“ You really do mean not any one — not even the Dean? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
nyp.33433074878764	“ You truly send it will? ” she asked doubtfully.
nyp.33433074867437	A bit quaint at times, ai n't he, sir? ” remarked Inspector Murdy to Freynes;but one of the best.
nyp.33433074867437	A scent? ” repeated Sir Lyster. nyp.33433074867437 About me? ” Mrs. Tims turned, all attention, her cooking for the time forgotten.
nyp.33433074867437	And after that?
nyp.33433074867437	And the nature of the document? ” enquired Mal. nyp.33433074867437 And what would your decision have been? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074867437	And you? ” Malcolm Sage flashed on him that steel grey look of interrogation. nyp.33433074867437 Anything else? ” enquired Mrs. Tims, prodding a potato with a fork to see if it was done.
nyp.33433074867437	But how did you manage to fix the date, Mr. Sage? ” he enquired. nyp.33433074867437 But how will that help? ” enquired Mr. Llewellyn John, whose nature rendered him singularly ill- adapted to a walking- on part.
nyp.33433074867437	But were n't you afraid they'd do a double cross?
nyp.33433074867437	But what am I to do about Miss Blair?
nyp.33433074867437	But what if this fellow Cressit refuses to go? ” enquired Lord Beamdale. nyp.33433074867437 But what was that you said about race- memory?"
nyp.33433074867437	But why did you cut us off from the telephone?
nyp.33433074867437	But why is it necessary to tell him?
nyp.33433074867437	But, surely, Sage,broke in Mr. Llewellyn John, 100 MALCOLM SAGE, DETECTIVE"is it not necessary to know the actual contents?"
nyp.33433074867437	By the way, what did you do when you heard of the robbery?.
nyp.33433074867437	By the way,he continued, without looking up,"in future can you let me see every letter as it is received?
nyp.33433074867437	Can I run you back to town, Carfon? ” he asked, as he walked towards the door. nyp.33433074867437 Can you remember when last you did such a thing?"
nyp.33433074867437	Can you send for him?
nyp.33433074867437	Did the butler join you in your search?
nyp.33433074867437	Did the professor ever have visitors at his lab- oratory? ”Only Sir Jasper, sir.
nyp.33433074867437	Did you happen to notice if the electric light was on when you entered the library?
nyp.33433074867437	Did you know this was the library? ”I saw a crack of light between the curtains,"replied Malcolm Sage.
nyp.33433074867437	Did you notice anything strange about his man- ner? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433074867437	Did you photograph the position of the body?.
nyp.33433074867437	Did you see Mr. Blade? ” enquired Malcolm Sage. nyp.33433074867437 Did you see anything?"
nyp.33433074867437	Did you suspect Peters was armed? ” enquired Sir James. nyp.33433074867437 Do you believe he shot himself? ” Malcolm Sage seemed absorbed in the rise and fall of the balancing silver.
nyp.33433074867437	Do you think the professor had been successful in his experiments? ” he enquired. nyp.33433074867437 Feeling better? ” he enquired as she turned to go.

nyp.33433074867437	From a woman, perhaps? ” suggested Malcolm Sage, taking off his hat and stroking the back of his head. nyp.33433074867437 Have I your promise? ” enquired Malcolm Sage of Mr. Doulton.
nyp.33433074867437	Have you another document from the same De- partment? ” enquired Malcolm Sage of Sir Lyster. nyp.33433074867437 Have you any objection to the safe being opened? ” enquired Malcolm Sage to Dane.

nyp.33433074867437	He is a man, I presume?
nyp.33433074867437	He knew? ” cried Freynes. nyp.33433074867437 He never smoked? ” he asked at length.
nyp.33433074867437	He told you, I think, never on any ac- count to disturb him?
nyp.33433074867437	He was confident of the success of his experi- ments? ”Absolutely. ” “ And you?"
nyp.33433074867437	He was confident of the success of his experi- ments? ”Absolutely. ” “ And you?"
nyp.33433074867437	He's not come yet? ” she interrogated. nyp.33433074867437 How about John Gray, the schoolmaster?"
nyp.33433074867437	How did you know what sort of knife it was? ” asked the inspector.' nyp.33433074867437 How many leaves of paper were there? ” en- quired Malcolm Sage.
nyp.33433074867437	How obvious? ” enquired Mr. Llewellyn John. nyp.33433074867437 How the devil did you spot the brute?"
nyp.33433074867437	How's the betting now?
nyp.33433074867437	How's the cook, the stove, and the supper?
nyp.33433074867437	I have often shot with him. ”Do you know of any reason why Mr. Challoner should commit suicide?"
nyp.33433074867437	I heard you say so, and how's his Nibs?
nyp.33433074867437	I mean,she proceeded with withering delibera- tion,"what will happen when I ca n't do the hundred in ten seconds?"
nyp.33433074867437	I suppose it never struck you to look elsewhere than at the curate's lodgings for the writer of the let- ters? ” enquired Malcolm Sage quietly. nyp.33433074867437 I suppose you think I'm wrong about the curate?"
nyp.33433074867437	I suppose, Sir Lyster, you do n't by any chance use scent? ” enquired Malcolm Sage without looking up. nyp.33433074867437 If you had lost something and would not tell me whether it was a dog or a diamond, would you ex- pect me to find it?"
nyp.33433074867437	Is that your only excuse for bursting into a lady's room without knocking?
nyp.33433074867437	It would be quite easy for Mr. Challoner to let anyone in through the French- windows? ” enquired Malcolm Sage, turning once more to Peters. nyp.33433074867437 More?"
nyp.33433074867437	Mr. Sage in?
nyp.33433074867437	Never, sir, not during the whole thirty years I've been with him. ” “ Who cleaned the laboratory? nyp.33433074867437 No one else?"
nyp.33433074867437	No, sir, the professor always bolted the door on the inside. ” “ Then he must have opened it himself? ”. nyp.33433074867437 None whatever, sir; he always seemed very happy. ” “ He had no domestic worries?"
nyp.33433074867437	None whatever. ”Then perhaps you will open it? ” said Malcolm Sage, turning to Sir James.
nyp.33433074867437	Not letters?
nyp.33433074867437	Nothing new?
nyp.33433074867437	Now get some water, Smithson. ”Water, my Lady? ” repeated Smithson, looking about him vaguely, as Moses might have done in the wilderness.
nyp.33433074867437	Perhaps he did not hear you?
nyp.33433074867437	Regular old cure, is n't he?
nyp.33433074867437	Shall I serve luncheon, Sir James? ” he enquired, ignoring Dane, who was clearly unequal to the strain of the duties of host. nyp.33433074867437 So that the first intimation you had of anything being wrong was what? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074867437	Spotted the culprit, Mr. Sage? ” enquired the inspector, with something that was very much like a wink in the direction of Freynes. nyp.33433074867437 Strange, very strange. ”"Are you in the habit of sitting smoking at your bedroom window? ” enquired Malcolm Sage of Glanedale, his eyes averted.
nyp.33433074867437	Sure it's not the Shah of Persia and Charlie Chaplin?
nyp.33433074867437	Tell me, Sage, were you serious? ” asked Mr. Doulton, as they reached the gate. nyp.33433074867437 That all?"
nyp.33433074867437	That was? ” “ When Mrs. Graham, that's the housekeeper, sir, set fire to the curtains of her room. nyp.33433074867437 The man who did it is in my car outside with Cressit. ”"You've got him as well?"
nyp.33433074867437	The police have already been? ” he enquired, as he examined with great intentness a rose he had taken from a bowl beside him. nyp.33433074867437 The question is, Sage,"broke in Mr. Llewellyn John tactfully,"what are we to do? ”.
nyp.33433074867437	The servants, of course, have access to this room?
nyp.33433074867437	This is the twenty- ninth maiming?
nyp.33433074867437	Was the light from the torch shining on your face?
nyp.33433074867437	Was there anything missing?
nyp.33433074867437	Was what? ”In a bath.
nyp.33433074867437	Well, and what about it?
nyp.33433074867437	Well? ” he demanded. nyp.33433074867437 Well?"
nyp.33433074867437	What did he say, really now? ” she added as she turned once more to the stove. nyp.33433074867437 What do you want me to do, Mr. Sage? ” en- quired the inspector at length.
nyp.33433074867437	What makes you think that? ” he asked. nyp.33433074867437 When you find the master- key?"
nyp.33433074867437	When you found that his bed had not been slept in were you surprised? ”. nyp.33433074867437 When you told Mr. Dane that his uncle had not slept in his room, and that the library door was locked on the inside, what did he say?"
nyp.33433074867437	Where did you meet him first, Tommy?
nyp.33433074867437	Where do you keep the key?
nyp.33433074867437	Where is Mr. Sage? ” He looked from Mr. Llewellyn John to Lord Beamdale. nyp.33433074867437 Where the deuce did you get it? ”'gasped the in- spector.
nyp.33433074867437	Who else? ” asked Malcolm Sage, rising. nyp.33433074867437 Who is Hinds? ” Malcolm Sage addressed the question to Mr. Callice.
nyp.33433074867437	Why did you come to the window? ” enquired Sir Lyster, as he resumed his own seat. nyp.33433074867437 Why is it?"
nyp.33433074867437	Yes, but why is it?
nyp.33433074867437	Yes; but can we prove it?
nyp.33433074867437	You advised? ” When keenly interested, Mal. nyp.33433074867437 You are certain of that?"
nyp.33433074867437	You challenged him? ” he queried. nyp.33433074867437 You did n't happen to come anywhere near this spot, or walk upon the mould there?"
nyp.33433074867437	You have in mind certain events that occurred during the last few days, I take it?
nyp.33433074867437	You heard no noise? ” Glanedale shook his head. nyp.33433074867437 You know of no way by which anyone could have got into the library and then out again, other than through the door or the window?"
nyp.33433074867437	You want me, Mater? ” he enquired; then, look- ing across at Malcolm Sage with a slightly troubled shadow in his eyes, he bowed. nyp.33433074867437 You were his greatest friend and his only con- fidant?"
nyp.33433074867437	You — you promise? ” She looked across at Mr. Llewellyn John. nyp.33433074867437 You're not cross?"

nyp.33433074867437	But what makes him do things like he did for Miss Blair?".
nyp.33433074867437	By the way, I take it that you keep your safe locked?"

nyp.33433074867437	Do you understand?"
nyp.33433074867437	For a moment Thompson thought deeply, then with sudden inspiration he said, “ Why not move your table nearer his door?"
nyp.33433074867437	Had the key not been touched, it would have helped. ” “ How?"
nyp.33433074867437	He admitted the importance of the Roman judicial interrogation,"cui bono?"
nyp.33433074867437	He also sent him clean into the privet- hedge, where he collapsed. ”"Who was it?"

nyp.33433074867437	He prom- ised, he swore he would if I did it. ”"Swore he would do what?"

nyp.33433074867437	I suppose, if neces- sary, you could arrange for twenty or thirty men to run down there? ” he queried.
nyp.33433074867437	I was afraid for the house, sir, and I ran down and knocked at the laboratory door. ” “ Did the professor open it? ”"No, sir."
nyp.33433074867437	I was searching for a well- dressed man- “ But how did you know he was well- dressed? ” queried Mr. Doulton.

nyp.33433074867437	“ There is no doubt that it was the document itself that you put in the safe?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ There is no other way, sir. ”"Who has access to the library in the ordinary way?
nyp.33433074867437	“ There were no signs of a struggle?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Thirdly, the murderer does not eat marmalade and Sir Jasper had the same distaste. ”"But how —? ” began the inspector.
nyp.33433074867437	“ This man Hinds? ” enquired Malcolm Sage, look- ing about for more matches.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Thought what, Mr. Sage? ” enquired the inspec- tor eagerly.
nyp.33433074867437	“ To identify the scent? ” broke in Mr. Llewellyn John.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Well, why do you?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Well? ” cried Mr. Llewellyn John, as soon as THE OUTRAGE AT THE GARAGE 117 Walters had closed the door behind him.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Were letters ever taken to the laboratory?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ What I want to know is what was the profes- sor doing while the door was being broken open? ”.
nyp.33433074867437	“ What I want to know is why do I bounce off my chair like an india- rubber ball when he buzzes? ” she demanded relentlessly.
nyp.33433074867437	“ What are you going to do for Mr. Sage, now that Department Z is being demobbed?
nyp.33433074867437	“ What did Mr. Blade say? ” enquired Malcolm Sage, looking keenly across at the inspector.
nyp.33433074867437	“ What did he say?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ What did you do then? ” queried Sir Lyster.
nyp.33433074867437	“ What do you advise us to do?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ What time did Mr. Dane return last evening?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ What was he actually doing? ” “ I think he was checking his bankbook, sir."
nyp.33433074867437	“ What was that?".
nyp.33433074867437	“ What were you proposing to do in the light of your refusal to break the engagement?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ What'd I better do? ” queried Alf Pond.
nyp.33433074867437	“ What? ” The men grouped themselves round him, breathless with interest.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Where did he keep it?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Which is your bedroom window?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Who else knew of the existence of the document?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Who took it from the safe then? ” enquired Sir Lyster.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Why did you ask Gray to be present?''
nyp.33433074867437	“ Why do I want to please him?
nyp.33433074867437	“ Why do I what? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Why do you like the Chief, Tommy?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Why were you there?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Why? ”"I have a larger safe in my dressing- room, in which I keep my papers.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Will you tell me what took place yesterday be- tween you and your uncle? ” said Malcolm Sage.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Would you be prepared to deny all this in the witness- box under oath, Mr. Glanedale? ” enquired Malcolm Sage.
nyp.33433074867437	“ Would you have examined the contents? ”"No.
nyp.33433074867437	“ You are interested in monumental brasses? ” en- quired the vicar, as he entered the chancel, and the stranger rose to his feet.
nyp.33433074867437	“ You have discovered nothing?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ You have no suspicion as to who it was that en- tered your room?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ You know of no reason why your uncle should take his life?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ You really think that the Goldschmidt gang is backing Jefferson?".
nyp.33433074867437	“ You said, I think, that the key of the safe was sometimes left in an accessible place?"
nyp.33433074867437	“ Your secretary and Lady Grayne, for instance, they knew nothing about it?"
nyp.33433075728554	. ” “ How I can talk about throwing the coffee away?

nyp.33433075728554	And it was n’t pleasant hearing. ” “ What were they talking of? ” “ Of the Van de Lindes. ” Then he told her of all that he had overheard.
nyp.33433075728554	And it will be like that to the end. ” “ And you will go on hoping 2 ” “ For his return?
nyp.33433075728554	And where do we make excursion to, Pietje? ” “ It is a long way out in the country, mon- sieur — beyond Courtrai, ” answered Pietje.
nyp.33433075728554	And you think that a man can love you who can treat you in that way?

nyp.33433075728554	But where ’s Mr. Darrell? ” “ He had to go to London on business early this morning, ” replied Linda.
nyp.33433075728554	But you are, no doubt, a professional artist — perhaps a noted painter? ” Darrell laughed.
nyp.33433075728554	But, of course, the great ambition of your life is to be a painter? ” “ Oh, yes, indeed, monsieur!
nyp.33433075728554	Could it be possible that Adrian Darrell and the Marquis of Albaccina were — identical?
nyp.33433075728554	Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433075728554	Do you think you ’re going to make Pietje your petted baby for ever and ever? ” “ I never let Pietje be a petted baby l ’ ’ cried Linda.

nyp.33433075728554	I said nothing to any one — neither to you nor Mary 854 THE HARVEST MOON “ In the face of what? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075728554	I trust thy good mother is well? ” “ I thank you, Madame — yes.
nyp.33433075728554	I will make time to do so. ” “ Your time, then, is fully occupied? ” said the Marquis, who continued to converse in French.
nyp.33433075728554	I'll take care you're in no danger. ” “ But — you? ” she said, unconsciously laying her hand on his arm.
nyp.33433075728554	Is it spiritual advice that you need? ” “ No, ” replied Mary.

nyp.33433075728554	Will you tell me? ” The girl shook her head sadly.

nyp.33433075728554	“ Do you drink anything, Pietje? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Do you know that I have been trying to find you? ” he said.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Do you think I sha n’t feel it, dear? ” he said.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Do you, really — do you? ” Mary Garrendon considered her button with a side- ways look.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Go away?
nyp.33433075728554	“ I have a splitting headache. ” “ Of course, I do n’t mind — do you suppose anybody will run away with me? ” said Linda.
nyp.33433075728554	“ I have had a letter from the Marquis of Albaccina. ” “ So soon? ” said Garrendon.
nyp.33433075728554	“ I know he loves me — know, do you hear?
nyp.33433075728554	“ I think I have learnt them from him — and they are good things to know. ” “ What happened in Monsieur Verbeke's case? ” asked Garrendon.
nyp.33433075728554	“ I will wait. ” “ Perhaps you ’ll step into the parlour to the other gentlemen, sir? ” said the girl, hospitably.
nyp.33433075728554	“ I wonder, ” she said, “ if there has been any foul play. ” “ Foul play?
nyp.33433075728554	“ It is thou, then, Pietje? ” he said.
nyp.33433075728554	“ It ’s Bob 1 Oh, Bob, how could you? ” Darrell slipped the revolver into his pocket and laughed.
nyp.33433075728554	“ John, it will be the first time we ’ve been separated And what will you do? ” He looked at her steadfastly.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Linda Is it really you? ” Now that the first shock was over Linda ’s wits came back to her.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Linda, be frank with me — was there any- thing between you before he went away? ” Linda ’s voice was hard as ever.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Linda|? ” “ Adrian l ’ ”* Your son 2* “ My son 7 Our son — yours and mine!

nyp.33433075728554	“ May I ask, sir, if this is your house? ” Cornelius smiled with pride and gratification.
nyp.33433075728554	“ May I speak to you, sir? ” she said.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Never? ” M 178 THE HARVEST MOON She shook her head and picked up her needle and her work.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Of course, he writes to you? ” Linda shrugged her shoulders again.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Oh, I assure you, monsieur, I am never idle|* “ And how do you spend your day? ” inquired the Marquis.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Our son? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Perhaps I was in a bad temper? ” she said, slyly.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Perhaps you were feeling a bit — out of sorts, eh? ” She gave him a whimsical look.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Pietje? ” “ Madame — it is God's will.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Sha n't I?
nyp.33433075728554	“ Should I look as nice as in my very best bib and tucker and my newest picture- hat? ” she inquired, archly.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Since you were living, why did n’t you come back — why did n’t you?
nyp.33433075728554	“ That, I suppose, is the artist's signature? ” “ Oh, yes, madam.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Things as they are, you mean?
nyp.33433075728554	“ Well? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Well? ” he said.
nyp.33433075728554	“ What are you going to paint first, Mr. Darrell? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ What is it? ” She caught her breath a little.
nyp.33433075728554	“ What is the matter? ” She turned and looked at him quite innocently “ Is anything the matter? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ What is the matter? ” She turned and looked at him quite innocently “ Is anything the matter? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ What? ” “ I should like to see you in a Dutch dress — the real national dress, with the proper orna- ments.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Why did you not tell me that you played 2 — and like that? ” she said.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Why do n’t they drive faster?
nyp.33433075728554	“ Why should I dress myself up to please you? ” she asked, smiling.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Yes — what is it, Pietje? ” he said, as he replaced them.
nyp.33433075728554	“ Yes, quite ten years. ” “ You are aware, I suppose, that the Marquis of Albaccina is a famous painter? ” said Garrendon.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You are an old friend? ” the girl asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You do n’t mean to say that she only thinks that?
nyp.33433075728554	“ You have not walked across the city? ” Monsieur patted the hand which lay on his arm and tried to look better.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You know my young friend? ” said the Marquis.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You speak English, sir? ” The proprietor bowed.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You surely do n’t mean to say that you knew that? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You — you do n’t mean that this visit will make him — discontented, unsettled, do you, Mary? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You ’ll never depart from that? ” he said in a low voice.
nyp.33433075728554	“ You ’re going to have one of your bilious attacks — you generally do after a long railway journey, do n't you?

njp.32101068171360	All the same, I am very angry with you,he said, playfully;"how could you be so rash as to visit my rooms on that night?"

njp.32101068171360	Am I dismissed, sir?

njp.32101068171360	And what about Garvey?
njp.32101068171360	And when is the betrayal to come off?

njp.32101068171360	And you?
njp.32101068171360	Are you coming out in your character of Fanks, in order to slip the handcuffs on him?

njp.32101068171360	But what the dickens was he doing in my room, then?
njp.32101068171360	But why did you stay with me for three years?
njp.32101068171360	But why the deuce did she compromise her reputation by going there?
njp.32101068171360	But ycm have often been there, Miss Darrel?
njp.32101068171360	But — but who has that key?
njp.32101068171360	But,asked Crate,"how could he have entered the room?"
njp.32101068171360	By Ward?
njp.32101068171360	Can I give my service to you, sir?
njp.32101068171360	Can you describe them?
njp.32101068171360	Come now,said Eixton, impatiently,"why did you kill Bennett?"
njp.32101068171360	Did Madrazo accuse you of the murder?
njp.32101068171360	Did Miss Darrel go also?
njp.32101068171360	Did Mr. Conway make any remark other than the one about this appointment?
njp.32101068171360	Did Mr. Conway say that he knew the man?
njp.32101068171360	Did Mr. Madrazo hear anything?
njp.32101068171360	Did he know that he was watched?
njp.32101068171360	Did he know where he was?
njp.32101068171360	Did he know why you wanted him?
njp.32101068171360	Did he look like a gentleman?
njp.32101068171360	Did he sail from Southampton by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Line?
njp.32101068171360	Did n't it occur to you to go upstairs and see who these strangers were?
njp.32101068171360	Did she come straight from Mexico to Paris?
njp.32101068171360	Did the other cab wait?
njp.32101068171360	Did you go straight home?
njp.32101068171360	Did you hear anyone else come in?
njp.32101068171360	Did you know of the murder at the time?
njp.32101068171360	Did you know that he was in London?
njp.32101068171360	Did you know your husband was following?
njp.32101068171360	Did you know your husband was following?
njp.32101068171360	Did you not notice that I carried it when I entered?
njp.32101068171360	Did you recognise him?
njp.32101068171360	Did you see the dead man?
njp.32101068171360	Did you see the letter?
njp.32101068171360	Did your fellow- passenger?
njp.32101068171360	Did your hear anything on that night?
njp.32101068171360	Do n't you call getting a duplicate key to another man's rooms wrong? njp.32101068171360 Do you accuse me of murder?"
njp.32101068171360	Do you accuse me of murder?
njp.32101068171360	Do you know Doolan?
njp.32101068171360	Do you know what that is?
njp.32101068171360	Do you not find that rather awkward?
njp.32101068171360	Do you see that man yonder?
njp.32101068171360	Do you still believe that you will find the assassin?
njp.32101068171360	Do you suspect Madrazo?
njp.32101068171360	Do you swear that all you have told me is true?
njp.32101068171360	Do you think Ward has it?
njp.32101068171360	Do you think you'll nab this unknown criminal?
njp.32101068171360	Do your relations know that you are thus employed?
njp.32101068171360	Does n't he hang out here?
njp.32101068171360	Does your master use any special kind of scent?
njp.32101068171360	Doolan was n't taken out to Peru to stand his trial, sir?
njp.32101068171360	Drugged by whom?
njp.32101068171360	Eh, what can I say?
njp.32101068171360	Eh? njp.32101068171360 For killing that old fool Tejada?"
njp.32101068171360	For what reason?
njp.32101068171360	For what reason?
njp.32101068171360	For what reason?
njp.32101068171360	Had n't you better sit down, Madrazo?
njp.32101068171360	Has the bracelet any meaning?
njp.32101068171360	Have you a key of these chambers, Doolan?
njp.32101068171360	Have you any suspicions?
njp.32101068171360	Have you been long in England, Senor Madrazo?" njp.32101068171360 Have you really?
njp.32101068171360	He does not approve of your marriage, perhaps?
njp.32101068171360	He was due at the theatre, I believe?
njp.32101068171360	He would not be able to find such an instrument in this room, would he?
njp.32101068171360	Him as married Miss Darrel, sir?
njp.32101068171360	How can you expect to discover anything about the unknown man at Slowman's Hotel?
njp.32101068171360	How dare you insult me?
njp.32101068171360	How did she come to know?
njp.32101068171360	How did that come about?
njp.32101068171360	How do you know that he was on board?
njp.32101068171360	How do you know that he went out in evening dress if you did not see him?
njp.32101068171360	How do you know that she was here on that night?
njp.32101068171360	How do you know?
njp.32101068171360	How do you think that he found Madrazo out?
njp.32101068171360	How long did you stay there?
njp.32101068171360	How long were you together?
njp.32101068171360	How so?
njp.32101068171360	How was it that I did not get that note?
njp.32101068171360	How was the gentleman dressed?
njp.32101068171360	I did, sir; an'why not? — youth is youth,'owever you puts it. njp.32101068171360 I gave myself a good character, did n't I?
njp.32101068171360	I know the Yale key,said Rixton, taking note of this information;"by the way, were the other tenants in on that night?"
njp.32101068171360	I see; but who let the woman in?
njp.32101068171360	I should like to know on what grounds you base that opinion?
njp.32101068171360	I suppose there can be no question of that?
njp.32101068171360	I suppose you became acquainted with Mr. Conway by living in the same house?
njp.32101068171360	I suppose you could do nothing else,said Rixton, discontentedly;"but about the note — did you see it on that desk?"
njp.32101068171360	I suppose your useful Doolan is in the kitchen?
njp.32101068171360	I suppose, being twins, the sisters are very much alike?
njp.32101068171360	I trust that the unhappy young man is prepared to meet his end?
njp.32101068171360	If he had not, why was he in the room on that night?
njp.32101068171360	If you were in bed, how could you distinguish the steps?
njp.32101068171360	If you will kindly explain?
njp.32101068171360	In other words, I am still suspected?
njp.32101068171360	In that case you'll be hanged; and if for one, why not for the other? njp.32101068171360 In the first place you are in love with, and engaged to, Gerald Conway?"
njp.32101068171360	Is Mr. Madrazo in now?
njp.32101068171360	Is it possible that you accuse me of this murder?
njp.32101068171360	Is that Ward?
njp.32101068171360	Is the price to be paid in money?
njp.32101068171360	It has not yet been found?
njp.32101068171360	It is a queer stick, is n't it?
njp.32101068171360	It is a'Yale'lock, I believe?
njp.32101068171360	Madrazo?
njp.32101068171360	Madrazo?
njp.32101068171360	Mariquita, eh?
njp.32101068171360	May I ask why?
njp.32101068171360	Meaning Ward?
njp.32101068171360	Miss Darrel,he said,"did you lose anything in the library on — that night?"
njp.32101068171360	Mistaken in what, sir?
njp.32101068171360	Mr. Conway did not know him?
njp.32101068171360	Mr. Conway is not with you, I suppose?
njp.32101068171360	Mr. Rixton — why do you call me other than my name?
njp.32101068171360	Mr. Rixton — why do you call me other than my name?
njp.32101068171360	Mr. Rixton, will you tell me who you think killed Bennett?
njp.32101068171360	Not even — a sixpence?
njp.32101068171360	Not knowing,said Rixton,"that the memo- randum you wanted was in the hollow?"
njp.32101068171360	Now, what the deuce is she doing in this galley? njp.32101068171360 Oh, did you?
njp.32101068171360	Oh, that is the name of her lover, I suppose?
njp.32101068171360	Oh, you do, do you?
njp.32101068171360	Oh, you make me tired,cried Duncan, angrily;"if Madrazo did n't put it there, who did?."
njp.32101068171360	Oh, you saw him die?
njp.32101068171360	P'r'aps you'd like t'ave a squint at his room, sir?
njp.32101068171360	Rather a sell for him, Mr. Fanks, was n't it? njp.32101068171360 Really?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton,said Conway, after a pause,"do you think that either Mrs. Brynmaur or Madrazo had any- thing to do with the murder?"
njp.32101068171360	Say? njp.32101068171360 She suggested it, I believe?"
njp.32101068171360	So far it is plain sailing; but now we come to a dead stop, and ask the question: Who murdered Horace Bennett? njp.32101068171360 So the brandy was drugged, eh, and your friend got out at Southampton?"
njp.32101068171360	So you accuse me of that crime? njp.32101068171360 So you're back from the States, Duncan?"
njp.32101068171360	Tell me what?
njp.32101068171360	That's very'cute of you,said Doolan, smiling;"and your authorities?"
njp.32101068171360	The cove as came from Peeru? njp.32101068171360 The deuce, was it?"
njp.32101068171360	The same difficulty arises there,said Rixton, drily;"what is Mrs. Brynmaur's motive?"
njp.32101068171360	The staff?
njp.32101068171360	Then Madrazo was the object of your sus- picions?
njp.32101068171360	Then what is my friend to do?
njp.32101068171360	Then you do not know it yet?
njp.32101068171360	Then you have your suspicions?
njp.32101068171360	Then you infer that Darrel was in the library on the previous night and lost it?
njp.32101068171360	Then you think that Mr. Conway is innocent?
njp.32101068171360	There is no hindrance to my leaving England, is there?
njp.32101068171360	They were not expected on that especial night?
njp.32101068171360	They will make a handsome couple, will they not?
njp.32101068171360	To do what?
njp.32101068171360	To gaol, I suppose?
njp.32101068171360	Tou did not take a cab then?
njp.32101068171360	Tou did?
njp.32101068171360	Under his own name?
njp.32101068171360	Ward come here? njp.32101068171360 Was he agitated?"
njp.32101068171360	Was it Lena? njp.32101068171360 Was it a thick stick?"
njp.32101068171360	Was she agitated when she did?
njp.32101068171360	Was that purpose political? njp.32101068171360 Wax?"
njp.32101068171360	Well, Rixton,said he,"and what is it you have to say?"
njp.32101068171360	Well, do you think Mrs. Brynmaur is guilty, and that he is screening her?
njp.32101068171360	Well, go on, Crate; Jenkins picked him up in Benedict Square?
njp.32101068171360	Well, to continue, it was Mrs. Brynmaur who persuaded you to visit Garry Street at night?
njp.32101068171360	Were you a schoolmaster?
njp.32101068171360	What about Madrazo?
njp.32101068171360	What about the certificate of your death?
njp.32101068171360	What am I to do?—to say? njp.32101068171360 What did that matter, Crate?
njp.32101068171360	What did you do?
njp.32101068171360	What do you mean?
njp.32101068171360	What do you say to Ward?
njp.32101068171360	What do you wish me to say?
njp.32101068171360	What does Doolan say?
njp.32101068171360	What does he say? njp.32101068171360 What does she know?"
njp.32101068171360	What else could I do?
njp.32101068171360	What good angel sent you here, Rixton?
njp.32101068171360	What good will that do?
njp.32101068171360	What has Mrs. Brynmaur to- do with the murder?
njp.32101068171360	What kind of a paper?
njp.32101068171360	What of his wife?
njp.32101068171360	What of it?
njp.32101068171360	What of that? njp.32101068171360 What other cab?"
njp.32101068171360	What time did you leave the theatre?
njp.32101068171360	What took you there?
njp.32101068171360	What was that?
njp.32101068171360	What's up?
njp.32101068171360	What, Mr. Fanks — beg pardon — Rixton,cried that gentleman,"are ycu glad that this murderer has shipped through your fingers?"
njp.32101068171360	What, sir? njp.32101068171360 What, you not told?
njp.32101068171360	What? njp.32101068171360 What?
njp.32101068171360	What? njp.32101068171360 When Mr. Conway called you in to see the dead body, did you see it?"
njp.32101068171360	When did this take place, Conway?
njp.32101068171360	When did you last see him?
njp.32101068171360	When?
njp.32101068171360	Where are you going now?
njp.32101068171360	Where to?
njp.32101068171360	Who admitted you into the rooms?
njp.32101068171360	Who followed you from Benedict Square in a cab?
njp.32101068171360	Who followed you from Benedict Square in a cab?
njp.32101068171360	Who was he?
njp.32101068171360	Whom did I kill?
njp.32101068171360	Why did he let you enjoy the Barnleigh estates for four years?
njp.32101068171360	Why did he murder Don Felipe?
njp.32101068171360	Why did n't you go up and see-what it was?
njp.32101068171360	Why did she come here?
njp.32101068171360	Why did you get it made?
njp.32101068171360	Why did you not report yourself before, Garvey?
njp.32101068171360	Why did you not stop him and demand his business?
njp.32101068171360	Why do you ask?
njp.32101068171360	Why do you call him the'useful Doolan'?
njp.32101068171360	Why do you laugh?
njp.32101068171360	Why do you wish to see it?
njp.32101068171360	Why not? njp.32101068171360 Why not?"
njp.32101068171360	Why not?
njp.32101068171360	Why should I tell you more?
njp.32101068171360	Why should you be pleased?
njp.32101068171360	Why? njp.32101068171360 Will she tell?"
njp.32101068171360	Will your key open the doors of any other chambers in the house?
njp.32101068171360	With what motive?
njp.32101068171360	Wonder if he brought the memorandum along with him?
njp.32101068171360	You a detective? njp.32101068171360 You are not doubtful of his innocence, are you, Miss Darrel?"
njp.32101068171360	You are sure that Mr. Conway came in at midnight?
njp.32101068171360	You are, then, a native of Lima — a Peruvian?
njp.32101068171360	You come from Spain, Senor Madrazo?
njp.32101068171360	You could? njp.32101068171360 You did not know him very well, I think, Conway?"
njp.32101068171360	You did not know him?
njp.32101068171360	You do n't say so?
njp.32101068171360	You do n't say so?
njp.32101068171360	You had it in your hand, Slowman — did you notice if the head was loose?
njp.32101068171360	You had no doubt guessed what had happened?
njp.32101068171360	You had stick long?
njp.32101068171360	You help him, eh, Rixton?
njp.32101068171360	You knew the secret of it?
njp.32101068171360	You know a good deal,she retorted, trying to conceal her astonishment,"but you do not know how I got into Mr. Conway's rooms?"
njp.32101068171360	You know that? njp.32101068171360 You left a note for Conway in the library?"
njp.32101068171360	You left your rooms at seven o'clock?.
njp.32101068171360	You met her in Lima, I believe?
njp.32101068171360	You met this man at the club?
njp.32101068171360	You returned to the Avenue Theatre, I suppose?
njp.32101068171360	You say, Jenkins, that he had it with him in the cab?
njp.32101068171360	You were afraid of being implicated in the crime?
njp.32101068171360	You were in your rooms before eleven, I believe?
njp.32101068171360	Your wife?
njp.32101068171360	107"Then who the deuce do you mean?"
njp.32101068171360	10J"What for?"
njp.32101068171360	133"Then how do you know a lady was in that cab at all?"
njp.32101068171360	23""You thought, then, that some of the tenants had brought in friends?"
njp.32101068171360	28?"
njp.32101068171360	51"Did you give him your Garry Street address?"
njp.32101068171360	89"And this Mr. Brenam's personal appearance, William?"
njp.32101068171360	Am I about to learn who killed Bennett?
njp.32101068171360	An'I could n't say,'You're an airy sneak,'could I?"
njp.32101068171360	And afterwards?"
njp.32101068171360	And what was the name of your friend?"
njp.32101068171360	Anid now, about this Ward?"
njp.32101068171360	As a matter of fact, Rixton was more perplexed than he? hose to admit even to himself.
njp.32101068171360	At what time?"
njp.32101068171360	Axe you willing to answer a few questions?"
njp.32101068171360	Bennett?"
njp.32101068171360	Brenam?"
njp.32101068171360	Brynmaur?"
njp.32101068171360	Brynmaur?"
njp.32101068171360	Brynmaur?"
njp.32101068171360	Brynmaur?"
njp.32101068171360	Brynmaur?"
njp.32101068171360	But his motive?
njp.32101068171360	But how can we prove his innocence?
njp.32101068171360	But how did you know that he was watched — that he contemplated flight?"
njp.32101068171360	But how do you intend to begin, and when?"
njp.32101068171360	But look here, Duncan, is it likely that Ward visited Madrazo?"
njp.32101068171360	But to return to our subject: I suppose you paid our friend Conway a visit, and so the perfume got on the blotting- pad?"
njp.32101068171360	But what can you do, Rixton — an inex- perienced man against the law?
njp.32101068171360	But where he is; why ask me?"
njp.32101068171360	But who the deuce can he be?
njp.32101068171360	But why bring Ward into the matter?"
njp.32101068171360	But why had Ward sought out Madrazo — about what did they converse?
njp.32101068171360	But why should she kill him?
njp.32101068171360	But why?
njp.32101068171360	But"Do you attend the inquest?"
njp.32101068171360	By the way,"added Rixton, with an afterthought,"is there any mark by which you can recognise Ward?"
njp.32101068171360	Ca n't you see her game?"
njp.32101068171360	Can you tell me to whom it belongs?"
njp.32101068171360	Conway's?"
njp.32101068171360	Conway?"
njp.32101068171360	Conway?"
njp.32101068171360	Could it be that he was Ward, that he had killed Don Felipe, and afterwards Bennett, to gain possession of the silver mine memorandum?
njp.32101068171360	Darrel?"
njp.32101068171360	Darrel?"
njp.32101068171360	Did she send me a note?"
njp.32101068171360	Did the woman kill the man?
njp.32101068171360	Did this unknown man follow?"
njp.32101068171360	Did you know Horace Bennett in Lima?"
njp.32101068171360	Did you see Madrazo on that night?."
njp.32101068171360	Did you see a bottle of it there?"
njp.32101068171360	Did you see any- thing unusual there?"
njp.32101068171360	Do you infer that he killed Bennett?"
njp.32101068171360	Do you know him, sir?."
njp.32101068171360	Do you know the meaning of that carbuncle bangle?"
njp.32101068171360	Do you know where he hangs out?"
njp.32101068171360	Does Mr. Conway say anything about Madrazo, sir?"
njp.32101068171360	Does he hope to excuse his flight by to- day's confession?"
njp.32101068171360	Doolan is perfectly honest, but — you understand?"
njp.32101068171360	Fanks?"
njp.32101068171360	Fanks?"
njp.32101068171360	Fanks?"
njp.32101068171360	Fanks?"
njp.32101068171360	Fanks?"
njp.32101068171360	Garvey?"
njp.32101068171360	Have you any idea who this unknown man can be?"
njp.32101068171360	Have you seen it?"
njp.32101068171360	Have you seen my master, sir?"
njp.32101068171360	Have you the key now?"
njp.32101068171360	He looked'haggard and ill."I beg your pardon, sir,"he said, politely,"but would you permit me to go out this afternoon?
njp.32101068171360	He said he was valet to a gentleman, and had travelled a good deal""In South America, for instance?"
njp.32101068171360	How did Horace Bennett and his murderer enter rooms of which Mr. Conway alone had the key?
njp.32101068171360	How did you find that out, sir?"
njp.32101068171360	How long have you been hunting Ward?"
njp.32101068171360	How should I know, sir?
njp.32101068171360	How will all your friends hold themselves towards you when they know the truth?"
njp.32101068171360	I see what you mean,"she said, in a relieved tone;"but how could that apply to me?"
njp.32101068171360	I suppose it is true?"
njp.32101068171360	I suppose,"added Conway, with some hesitation,"that you suspected Barrel?"
njp.32101068171360	If Madrazo is not guilty, who is?
njp.32101068171360	In the first place, the murder was committed on Wednesday night?"
njp.32101068171360	In the meantime, tell me if, on your return from the Curtain Theatre, you found a note awaiting you from Miss Darrel?"
njp.32101068171360	Is he as bad as tnat?"
njp.32101068171360	Is it dimins or plate?
njp.32101068171360	Is it so had as that?"
njp.32101068171360	Is it to remain a mystery?
njp.32101068171360	It looks black enough, I admit, but what is his motive?
njp.32101068171360	It was in the library that man was found, was it not?"
njp.32101068171360	MADRAZO AT% A?.
njp.32101068171360	Madrazo?"
njp.32101068171360	Madrazo?"
njp.32101068171360	May I ask which way you go, sir?
njp.32101068171360	May I ask why?"
njp.32101068171360	Now do you see how I can help you?"
njp.32101068171360	Now then, Duncan, what do you think of the case as stated by me?"
njp.32101068171360	Now, then, senor, why did you want that key?"
njp.32101068171360	Now, which of those three is guilty, or are all three innocent?"
njp.32101068171360	Once between stone walls, and how could she prove her innocence?
njp.32101068171360	Once between stone walls, and how could she prove her innocence?
njp.32101068171360	Phorney?"
njp.32101068171360	Phorney?"
njp.32101068171360	Query?
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Rixton?"
njp.32101068171360	Saw who?"
njp.32101068171360	Seen what?"
njp.32101068171360	She is a country- woman of yours, I believe?"
njp.32101068171360	She knew you were going on Wednesday night?"
njp.32101068171360	So that was why you took lodgings here, and got the dupli- cate key?"
njp.32101068171360	So you have evidence against me?
njp.32101068171360	So you wanted that, Senor Madrazo?"
njp.32101068171360	So, Mr. Rixton,"he added, turning towards the detective,"you suspect me of killing Bennett?"
njp.32101068171360	That is in Mexico?"
njp.32101068171360	The lady got out at Garry Street?"
njp.32101068171360	The police asked — oh, yes, they have asked; but what?
njp.32101068171360	The question was: What price did he demand to keep silence?
njp.32101068171360	Tou understand?"
njp.32101068171360	Was Darrel an eye- witness to the crime?
njp.32101068171360	Was that question suggested by the letter?"
njp.32101068171360	Were you up at that time?"
njp.32101068171360	What do you mean?"
njp.32101068171360	What do you take me for, Conway?
njp.32101068171360	What does that prove?
njp.32101068171360	What grudge could she have had against him?
njp.32101068171360	What he was doing in those rooms; who led him, and admitted him into, those rooms; what was his name, his occupation, his past?
njp.32101068171360	What is it you wish me to tell you?"
njp.32101068171360	What like, eh?"
njp.32101068171360	What the deuce does this mean, and why should he seal his diary?
njp.32101068171360	What was the motive of this cruel crime?
njp.32101068171360	What was the motive that induced this crime?
njp.32101068171360	What's this?"
njp.32101068171360	What, you asked, sir, of that carbuncle bracelet — eh, is it not so?"
njp.32101068171360	What?
njp.32101068171360	When did Doolan give you notice?"
njp.32101068171360	When your cousin left you at eight o'clock, you went to the theatre?"
njp.32101068171360	Where can I find it?"
njp.32101068171360	Where is the weapon with which the crime was com- mitted?
njp.32101068171360	While Conway was absent Rixton revolved these words in his mind:"The truth,"he thought,"what truth?
njp.32101068171360	Who can keep away from Benedict Square, with so charming a hostess?"
njp.32101068171360	Who is this dead man?"
njp.32101068171360	Why did you ask him if he was sure that your cousin, Horace Bennett, was dead?"
njp.32101068171360	Why did you not tell me that Miss Darrel had been here on that night?"
njp.32101068171360	Why did your master leave here so early?"
njp.32101068171360	Why?"
njp.32101068171360	William, when was it that Mr. Brenam took his hook?"
njp.32101068171360	Wot does he mean by bringing his wickedness to a respectable hotel, I'd like to know?"
njp.32101068171360	Would that motive be found at Lima?
njp.32101068171360	Yet, if Madrazo had not hidden it behind the sideboard, who had done so?
njp.32101068171360	Yon, Tanks?"
njp.32101068171360	You ca n't deny that you murdered Don Felipe Tejada?."
njp.32101068171360	You do n't suppose that I shall leave the case unfinished?
njp.32101068171360	You have never heard of it before?"
njp.32101068171360	You heard of the murder?"
njp.32101068171360	You know of it?"
njp.32101068171360	You remember the medical evidence as to the nature of the weapon with which the wound in the back must have been inflicted?"
njp.32101068171360	You wait, sir?"
njp.32101068171360	You were astonished to see your cousin?"

njp.32101068171360	cried Lena, as the door closed after her parent,"do you hear what he says?
njp.32101068171360	cried the landlord, rather alarmed;"you do n't go for to say as he's done anything?"
njp.32101068171360	did you suspect Doolan of the murder?"
njp.32101068171360	eh, for what — why you say that?"
njp.32101068171360	eh?

njp.32101068171360	he left here in evening dress, did he?"
njp.32101068171360	he muttered, rising to his feet;"what was she doing here on that night?"
njp.32101068171360	in that case, what was he doing at your desk, in your library?"
njp.32101068171360	muttered Madrazo, in his own tongue,"why did she do that?"
njp.32101068171360	observed Rixton, knocking the ash off the end of his cigar,"you return to South America shortly?"
njp.32101068171360	remarked Crate, after a pause,"I suppose you assume that Doolan admitted this unknown per- son, and then murdered him?
njp.32101068171360	repeated Conway, taking no note of the end of this speech;"you surely do not suspect a woman?"
njp.32101068171360	repeated Paxton, again raising his eyebrows,"but that was surely a very short time in which to explain matters?"
njp.32101068171360	said Conway, sceptically,"do you think that there is anything between her and the old man?"
njp.32101068171360	said Rixton, bending forward,"and what happened?"
njp.32101068171360	so you consider him a good man, my friend?"
njp.32101068171360	the twin sister in Lima, he would have been undecided a.?
njp.32101068171360	thought the Peruvian,"how much does he know?"
njp.32101068171360	what — eh, Bennett — this his stick?"
njp.32101068171360	who told you Mercedes?"
njp.32101068171360	you do n't say so?"
njp.32101068171360	you have heard something about Darrel?"

nyp.33433075749808	But before giving you the results of my inquiries — it wo n't take long, by the way — I should like to ask you one or two questions, if I may?
nyp.33433075749808	But the robbery?
nyp.33433075749808	By the way, Sutgrove,he said,"what's this I saw on the evening paper bills about a motor pirate?"
nyp.33433075749808	Can not you recognize the rattle of Mannering's old car? nyp.33433075749808 Colonel Maitland?
nyp.33433075749808	Could n't you get it completed in a week?
nyp.33433075749808	Did they though? nyp.33433075749808 Did you mention to any one where I had gone?"
nyp.33433075749808	Do you call him hand- some?
nyp.33433075749808	Do you really mean that, Mr. Sutgrove?
nyp.33433075749808	Does your friend refuse to acknowledge the compact?
nyp.33433075749808	For what reason?
nyp.33433075749808	Forrest? nyp.33433075749808 Has any one ever tried to hold you up?"
nyp.33433075749808	Have you heard anything further?
nyp.33433075749808	Have you lost anything?
nyp.33433075749808	How did you discover that?
nyp.33433075749808	How far is Towcester?
nyp.33433075749808	How?
nyp.33433075749808	I suppose I am at liberty to sleep where I like?
nyp.33433075749808	I thought you were of opinion that our friend will be tempted to make his reappearance to- night?
nyp.33433075749808	If there's all that value in it, why should the owner go in for highway robbery?
nyp.33433075749808	In Vienna?
nyp.33433075749808	Is n't that musical?
nyp.33433075749808	Is there any one else?
nyp.33433075749808	Is your verdict upon my restaurant equally favourable to- day, sir?

nyp.33433075749808	Not emulating the deeds of the Motor Pirate?
nyp.33433075749808	Now tell me, Mr. Sutgrove, did n't that dream of father's really happen to you last night?
nyp.33433075749808	Of course it is quite impossible that the motive power can be electricity?

nyp.33433075749808	Start? nyp.33433075749808 Sure that is all?"
nyp.33433075749808	Surely it can not be a case of suicide?
nyp.33433075749808	Surely that depends on what the girl thinks, does n't it?
nyp.33433075749808	Surely you do not still harbour any suspicion con- cerning him?
nyp.33433075749808	That you, Mannering?
nyp.33433075749808	They have n't found Mr. Forrest, then, sir?

nyp.33433075749808	Well, if I may?
nyp.33433075749808	Well?
nyp.33433075749808	What about the servants?

nyp.33433075749808	Why did n't you go to the police- station?
nyp.33433075749808	Why should it?
nyp.33433075749808	Why, darling, what ails you?
nyp.33433075749808	Why, what has he been doing?
nyp.33433075749808	Why, what made you think of him? nyp.33433075749808 Why?"
nyp.33433075749808	Why?
nyp.33433075749808	You did n't get any clue in Amsterdam, then?
nyp.33433075749808	You do n't mean to say that you still suspect me?
nyp.33433075749808	You have n't a car to do a hundred miles an hour, have you?
nyp.33433075749808	You know him?
nyp.33433075749808	You know the numbers of your notes, I suppose?
nyp.33433075749808	You surely can not think that Mannering is in any way connected with the Motor Pirate?
nyp.33433075749808	You will have no difficulty, I presume, in proving your identity?
nyp.33433075749808	You will help me, wo n't you?
nyp.33433075749808	You would like to make a more extensive exami- nation, I suppose, doctor?

nyp.33433075749808	Are you prepared for a little amateur burglary, Sutgrove?"
nyp.33433075749808	As I did so the occupant of the car shouted out,"That you, Sutgrove?

nyp.33433075749808	But how?
nyp.33433075749808	But what brings you down here?
nyp.33433075749808	CJ 5 1?
nyp.33433075749808	Can I be of any assistance?"
nyp.33433075749808	Can you manage a hot bath and a bed for me to- night?"
nyp.33433075749808	Colonel Maitland the gourmet?"
nyp.33433075749808	Do you know that the glass I drank — was it one glass or two? — gave me the most vivid dream I have enjoyed since my childhood?"
nyp.33433075749808	Do you know that the glass I drank — was it one glass or two? — gave me the most vivid dream I have enjoyed since my childhood?"
nyp.33433075749808	Does he affect you in the same way?"
nyp.33433075749808	Got a puncture?
nyp.33433075749808	Have you got the tools?"
nyp.33433075749808	He may endeavour to dispose of some of his plunder, or he may reappear, but until then""What do you suggest?"
nyp.33433075749808	He stepped on to the car, and, taking my seat, I asked him tersely —"Where to?"
nyp.33433075749808	He was for him unusually excited, and, without reply to my greeting, save with a silent hand grip, he said —"Seen anything of Mannering?"
nyp.33433075749808	He would be bound to get his batteries recharged somewhere and, with a car of such remarkable shape, how is he to do so without exciting remark?
nyp.33433075749808	How much of that port did you drink?"
nyp.33433075749808	I suppose there is no one residing near whom you would consider a likely object of suspicion?'
nyp.33433075749808	Is it Mannering?"
nyp.33433075749808	Is it indeed you?"
nyp.33433075749808	Is there any hope for me?"
nyp.33433075749808	Meanwhile, you have not yet told me how you learned of my presence here?"
nyp.33433075749808	Nothing tangible and yet Oh, Mr. Sutgrove, do you — have you ever experienced a presentiment of something dreadful happening?
nyp.33433075749808	Nothing tangible and yet Oh, Mr. Sutgrove, do you — have you ever experienced a presentiment of something dreadful happening?
nyp.33433075749808	Sutgrove?"
nyp.33433075749808	THE MOTOR PIRATE “ Let me hear all about it? ” I asked eagerly.
nyp.33433075749808	The engine is a model of the one I have designed for the new car which I mentioned — last night was it?
nyp.33433075749808	The explanation could hardly please him, would it?"
nyp.33433075749808	The third time he blurted out —"About that suggestion of yours — taking night rides on the chance of being held up""Yes?"
nyp.33433075749808	WHEREIN I MEET THE PIRATE 31"Not?"
nyp.33433075749808	Was it indeed Mannering's voice, or were my ears deceiving me?
nyp.33433075749808	What could he have done?"
nyp.33433075749808	What course was open to me but confession?
nyp.33433075749808	What is it you want?"
nyp.33433075749808	What sort of establishment does he keep?"
nyp.33433075749808	What — what?"
nyp.33433075749808	What, then, had he done with it?
nyp.33433075749808	When we had done laughing, Winter turned to me and said —"Sutgrove, old fellow, would you mind punching me?
nyp.33433075749808	Whence he came?
nyp.33433075749808	Where did he say he was going?"
nyp.33433075749808	Whither he went?
nyp.33433075749808	Who could help feeling happy?
nyp.33433075749808	Who knows?
nyp.33433075749808	Who the owner of the pirate car was?
nyp.33433075749808	Why had I listened to Winter?
nyp.33433075749808	Why should I have allowed myself to be persuaded to play the part of coward, merely that Winter's car should have been saved from injury?
nyp.33433075749808	Will you believe it?
nyp.33433075749808	You can make things exceedingly unpleasant for him if you like; but frankly, is it worth while?
nyp.33433075749808	« Him?
nyp.33433075749808	« Him?"
nyp.33433075749808	« What?"
nyp.33433075749808	« What?"
nyp.33433075749808	« Who's that?"
nyp.33433075749808	«'u What the deuce do you mean?"
nyp.33433075749808	“ I fancy you must have seen in the papers a pretty full account of all that the police discovered there? ” said the detective.
nyp.33433075749808	“ You know where to bring it? ” asked my companion.
nnc1.0026591928	'Do n't you mean to do something for him?' nnc1.0026591928 'Had you not better throw the water yourself?'
nnc1.0026591928	'Then he did remember?' nnc1.0026591928 'What does he mean?'
nnc1.0026591928	Always blue? nnc1.0026591928 Am I mad or has the devil joined in the pursuit against me?
nnc1.0026591928	And Dorothy?
nnc1.0026591928	And I? nnc1.0026591928 And Quimby?
nnc1.0026591928	And do you think I care for that? nnc1.0026591928 And have the whole house about our ears?
nnc1.0026591928	And is that all you can tell us? nnc1.0026591928 And so the young gentleman had not the cour- age to come again himself?"
nnc1.0026591928	And that was where you left him?
nnc1.0026591928	And then?
nnc1.0026591928	And what is this young gentleman's name?
nnc1.0026591928	And what of her?
nnc1.0026591928	And where is that?
nnc1.0026591928	And you believed her?
nnc1.0026591928	And your mother?
nnc1.0026591928	Another recollec- tion?
nnc1.0026591928	Are you done?
nnc1.0026591928	Asleep?
nnc1.0026591928	At what time did this fire start?
nnc1.0026591928	But do n't you know?
nnc1.0026591928	But how can you reach her? nnc1.0026591928 But how will you be able to influence Miss Camerden to come down?"
nnc1.0026591928	But when I am in the cellar, what then?
nnc1.0026591928	But where can I get it?
nnc1.0026591928	But why can not I go to my room? nnc1.0026591928 But you sometimes went into the extension?"
nnc1.0026591928	But you've heard of the room?
nnc1.0026591928	Ca n't we? nnc1.0026591928 Can you go through the ceremony of mar- riage?"
nnc1.0026591928	Careless, eh? nnc1.0026591928 Certainly; did n't you recognise him?"
nnc1.0026591928	Dead?
nnc1.0026591928	Dead?
nnc1.0026591928	Did he say it was Miss Camerden?
nnc1.0026591928	Did n't it drop from your coat- pocket?
nnc1.0026591928	Did you expect to? nnc1.0026591928 Do you know, missus, I shall have to stay here all night?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you not wish to speak to him?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you remember the dream he related for the delectation of such as would listen?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you see these bits from a papered wall?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you think she will recognise your right to summon her to an interview?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you think so?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you want me to wash the dishes? nnc1.0026591928 Does Miss Murray still cherish the ex- pectation of being married to- day?
nnc1.0026591928	Does Miss Murray wear white to- night?
nnc1.0026591928	Does the sight of him recall anything?
nnc1.0026591928	Dreadful? nnc1.0026591928 Fire, with a man like you in the house?"
nnc1.0026591928	Frances? nnc1.0026591928 Had you not better tell me his name?"
nnc1.0026591928	Has the gentleman any appointment here?
nnc1.0026591928	Have n't you been in any of the rooms there, — Number 3, for instance?
nnc1.0026591928	Have you any instructions for me?
nnc1.0026591928	Have you any suggestions to offer? nnc1.0026591928 Have you anything more to say or do before you leave these rooms?"
nnc1.0026591928	Have you compared this notice,I pursued,"with such others as you find every day in the papers?"
nnc1.0026591928	Have you ever heard any one describe this room?
nnc1.0026591928	Have you looked in that little box since you took it from my hair?
nnc1.0026591928	Have you this notice with you?
nnc1.0026591928	He coughed and"And what?
nnc1.0026591928	He?
nnc1.0026591928	How can I tell? nnc1.0026591928 How can I, when there falls from everything I touch the devilish thing which took away the life I hated?"
nnc1.0026591928	How is Miss Murray?
nnc1.0026591928	How many?
nnc1.0026591928	How should he know Miss Camerden?
nnc1.0026591928	How was this lady dressed?
nnc1.0026591928	How would you set to work? nnc1.0026591928 I pick up?"
nnc1.0026591928	I?
nnc1.0026591928	In the house?
nnc1.0026591928	In the office?
nnc1.0026591928	In what direction, then, do your suspicions turn?
nnc1.0026591928	Is it refuge you want?
nnc1.0026591928	Is it? nnc1.0026591928 Is it?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is not Miss Glover wealthy? nnc1.0026591928 Is there anything I can do to serve you?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is this your only book?
nnc1.0026591928	It was the recipe, then, and not the obituary notice which attracted your attention the night be- fore?
nnc1.0026591928	Jake, ai n't you got a match?
nnc1.0026591928	Jake, can I believe you?
nnc1.0026591928	Jake? nnc1.0026591928 Lost in the fire?"
nnc1.0026591928	May I ask who is speaking to me?
nnc1.0026591928	May n't I help him look? nnc1.0026591928 Miss Murray?"
nnc1.0026591928	Money? nnc1.0026591928 Mr. Quimby, did Mrs. Demarest come to the house with Miss Demarest?"
nnc1.0026591928	No beer? nnc1.0026591928 No,"I returned,"not on my own business, but on that of a young gent""Any one whose name is written here?"
nnc1.0026591928	No; why, what is that?
nnc1.0026591928	Not there?
nnc1.0026591928	Now will you an- swer my former question? nnc1.0026591928 Oh, what is the matter with me?"
nnc1.0026591928	Oh, where is Minnie? nnc1.0026591928 On the rear corridor?"
nnc1.0026591928	On your own business?
nnc1.0026591928	One of the women now in this house?
nnc1.0026591928	One that you can tell me?
nnc1.0026591928	Or some one should succeed in finding Halloo, what's that?
nnc1.0026591928	Or will it be enough if my wife accompanies her?
nnc1.0026591928	Physically, do you mean, or mentally?
nnc1.0026591928	Remember that a word might raise suspicion, and that in a case like this Halloa, what's that?
nnc1.0026591928	Shall I not look and see where the girls are? nnc1.0026591928 Shall I take the young lady up myself?"
nnc1.0026591928	She was in here just now, was she not?
nnc1.0026591928	She? nnc1.0026591928 Susan, are you going back on me now?"
nnc1.0026591928	Tell what paper was on the wall?
nnc1.0026591928	Then I am to stay in the hall?
nnc1.0026591928	Then you know his name?
nnc1.0026591928	Then you know it to be empty?
nnc1.0026591928	Then you were in the house?
nnc1.0026591928	Then, how came he to be looking out of your window just before the fire broke out?
nnc1.0026591928	There is room below it for your name and that of your mother, but the space is blank, do you see?
nnc1.0026591928	They? nnc1.0026591928 This dream- maiden was a woman?"
nnc1.0026591928	This woman has something to say, or why should she have asked to be confronted with you? nnc1.0026591928 This?"
nnc1.0026591928	Two rooms; why two? nnc1.0026591928 Warn?"
nnc1.0026591928	Was it?
nnc1.0026591928	Was she veiled?
nnc1.0026591928	Was that Beaton?
nnc1.0026591928	Was — was not the door locked?
nnc1.0026591928	Well?
nnc1.0026591928	What can I do to oblige you?
nnc1.0026591928	What has happened?
nnc1.0026591928	What is it now?
nnc1.0026591928	What is your name?
nnc1.0026591928	What news?
nnc1.0026591928	What should I know about that man Quimby's dreadful doings?
nnc1.0026591928	What story? nnc1.0026591928 What's that?
nnc1.0026591928	What's this? nnc1.0026591928 What's wrong?"
nnc1.0026591928	When was that? nnc1.0026591928 Where did that — that thing come from?"
nnc1.0026591928	Where is 32?
nnc1.0026591928	Where is Gilbertine?
nnc1.0026591928	Where is Quimby?
nnc1.0026591928	Where was this vial found?
nnc1.0026591928	Where's the money?
nnc1.0026591928	Where?
nnc1.0026591928	Which window was it?
nnc1.0026591928	Who did this overhauling?
nnc1.0026591928	Who is John Graham?
nnc1.0026591928	Who saw these two come in?
nnc1.0026591928	Why do you ask that? nnc1.0026591928 Why not wait till morning?"
nnc1.0026591928	Why should a handsome devil like that be treated with any more consideration than another? nnc1.0026591928 Will you dance the next waltz with me?"
nnc1.0026591928	Will you give me its number?
nnc1.0026591928	Yes; where are you?
nnc1.0026591928	You believe she died from swallowing that drop?
nnc1.0026591928	You can, of course, inform me where you procured this clipping which you say you brought into the house?
nnc1.0026591928	You had bought that?
nnc1.0026591928	You have been there? nnc1.0026591928 You have n't heard what I've said about that?"
nnc1.0026591928	You know that? nnc1.0026591928 You remember the vision I had the morning when I was sick?"
nnc1.0026591928	You saw Quimby,he repeated;"saw his face distinctly looking toward your room from one of the stable windows?"
nnc1.0026591928	You were at the breakfast- table yesterday morn- ing?
nnc1.0026591928	You wish it?
nnc1.0026591928	You're asking a good deal, are n't you? nnc1.0026591928 Your name?"
nnc1.0026591928	'But I can trust you not to tell him?'
nnc1.0026591928	'Is he spending all this time ransacking the rooms?
nnc1.0026591928	'Where did you get it?'
nnc1.0026591928	'Would it interest you to know which half?'
nnc1.0026591928	'Yet if I had had a dollar more or even a ring worth a dollar or so, I might have Theresa, have you any money at all?
nnc1.0026591928	154 THE LITTLE STEEL COILS"First, let me ask,"said I,"who has access to your rooms besides your maid?"
nnc1.0026591928	244 THE AMETHYST BOX Why was I on my feet?
nnc1.0026591928	258 THE AMETHYST BOX Remorse?
nnc1.0026591928	3 71 course, as soon as you could lay your hands on him?"
nnc1.0026591928	3 81"Why?"
nnc1.0026591928	3 87 true to me?
nnc1.0026591928	3 unnecessary murder?
nnc1.0026591928	3"WHAT door is that?
nnc1.0026591928	3"What could you say?"
nnc1.0026591928	3"What rooms?
nnc1.0026591928	6 MIDNIGHT IN BEAUCHAMP ROW"And when will you be back?"
nnc1.0026591928	A flying from herself or from it?
nnc1.0026591928	After Mr. Armstrong went into the room, or before?"
nnc1.0026591928	Alone?
nnc1.0026591928	And do you mean to say that this room has not been redecorated in ten years?"
nnc1.0026591928	And who was the person who uttered that scream?"
nnc1.0026591928	And why did I prefer to await developments rather than ask the simplest question of any one about me?
nnc1.0026591928	And why did we not hear her strident and aggressive tones rising in angry remon- strance at our intrusion?
nnc1.0026591928	Anguish?
nnc1.0026591928	Are mothers dearer than sweethearts?
nnc1.0026591928	At all events, the action drew general attention and caused an instant silence, broken the next minute by an ardent cry:"So your search was futile?"
nnc1.0026591928	Beaton, am I wrong?"
nnc1.0026591928	But Eunice had a spirit like an angel, and, drawing near him, she said:"Is there anything I can do for you, Cousin John?"
nnc1.0026591928	But after that do I need to say why I am a wife — why I am his wife?"
nnc1.0026591928	But could I prove it?
nnc1.0026591928	But if Luke is gone, and William, and Hector, and Barbara's boy, and Janet, how much does that leave for me?"
nnc1.0026591928	But if they offered to submit to this themselves?"
nnc1.0026591928	But what choice?
nnc1.0026591928	But where is 32?"
nnc1.0026591928	But where?
nnc1.0026591928	But where?
nnc1.0026591928	But who could have printed this thing and who was the man who put it into my hand?
nnc1.0026591928	But whose hands?
nnc1.0026591928	But would it come at all?
nnc1.0026591928	But, had I interpreted that strong, nervous pres- sure aright?
nnc1.0026591928	Ca n't you say so?
nnc1.0026591928	Can you deny that, or that you stepped aside while I ran in and gave my mother another hug?
nnc1.0026591928	Can you say, John?
nnc1.0026591928	Can you say, Luke?
nnc1.0026591928	Can you see it from this veranda?"
nnc1.0026591928	Can you tell me?"
nnc1.0026591928	Can you understand my forgetting a mat- ter of so much importance?"
nnc1.0026591928	Can you understand this amazing, this unheard- of circumstance?
nnc1.0026591928	Could I stand the suspense of the impending interview?
nnc1.0026591928	Could her eye rest on mine, even in this cold and perfunctory manner, if the drop which could sepa- rate us for ever lay concealed over her heart?
nnc1.0026591928	Could she have glided in by me unperceived and thus found her way into the bedroom from which I afterward saw her issue?
nnc1.0026591928	Could the seemingly impos- sible be made possible and the unexplainable receive a solution satisfying to a rational mind?
nnc1.0026591928	Darrow, you had it; what did you do with it?"
nnc1.0026591928	Deane?"
nnc1.0026591928	Dear, will you let me make you comfort- able in the conservatory while I talk for five minutes with Dorothy?"
nnc1.0026591928	Delicate business, this; or were they both deceived and the man just a good- hu- moured silly?
nnc1.0026591928	Did I expect to find him seated at one of the tables?
nnc1.0026591928	Did I find the ruby?
nnc1.0026591928	Did he fire at you?"
nnc1.0026591928	Did n't he know what I had suffered, was suffering?
nnc1.0026591928	Did n't he know what in all prob- ability this missing girl had with her?
nnc1.0026591928	Did n't you see him show me the ring?"
nnc1.0026591928	Did not your mother die in the woods?
nnc1.0026591928	Did she hear him?
nnc1.0026591928	Did the other hesitate?
nnc1.0026591928	Did you ever hear the cry made by a wounded man when the cup of cool water for which he has long agonised is brought suddenly before his eyes?
nnc1.0026591928	Did you notice which end of the table he ignored when relating this dramatic episode?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do I look fit to enter among the dancers?
nnc1.0026591928	Do n't keep a bar?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do n't you think so?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you know her door?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do you know?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do you mean me to be present at an interview so painful — nay, so serious and so threaten- ing?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you mean the clerk?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you not see guilt written on his brow?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you not see something very strange in this?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do you remember it, Lemuel?"'
nnc1.0026591928	Do you remember it, Luke?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you remember my turning to speak to him the moment after that word all fell from the lawyer's lips?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do you remember the white silk train which Mr. Arm- strong saw slipping from this room?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you see your way to accomplishing this?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you think Mr. Chivers would leave me here alone with two thousand dol- lars to guard?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do you want a peep at it?"
nnc1.0026591928	Do you want to hear it?
nnc1.0026591928	Do you want to see the culprit, for there is a culprit?
nnc1.0026591928	Doctor Golden, are you ready for her story?"
nnc1.0026591928	Every other beggar we meet has a cough; and yet,"she added after a moment's pause,"if it was not he who gave me this mortal shock, who was it?
nnc1.0026591928	Fear?
nnc1.0026591928	For whom was he looking?
nnc1.0026591928	Four?
nnc1.0026591928	Front rooms, rear rooms, or both?"
nnc1.0026591928	Gilbertine or Dorothy?
nnc1.0026591928	Gilbertine or Dorothy?
nnc1.0026591928	Had I heard any- thing?
nnc1.0026591928	Had I mis- taken my darling's feelings?
nnc1.0026591928	Had I seen such a woman?
nnc1.0026591928	Had Sin- THE AMETHYST BOX 239 clair managed to have his little conversation with her?
nnc1.0026591928	Had a bullet struck him?
nnc1.0026591928	Had any such comparison ever been made by the unhappy John Graham, as he hurried up these battered steps into the dismal halls beyond?
nnc1.0026591928	Had anything new come to light?
nnc1.0026591928	Had burglars got in?
nnc1.0026591928	Had he discovered that the seeming puzzle possessed the same invisible spring which had made the one handled by James Holmes so dangerous?
nnc1.0026591928	Had he known that I had no place in her will?
nnc1.0026591928	Had it always been the latter's wish, then, to enrich the one and slight the other?
nnc1.0026591928	Had it necessarily meant love?
nnc1.0026591928	Had it not imprinted itself upon my mind as the one revolting vision of my life?
nnc1.0026591928	Had my aunt taken him into her confidence?
nnc1.0026591928	Had she followed her niece from the room?
nnc1.0026591928	Had she gone daft?
nnc1.0026591928	Had she slipped by me in coming in as she had on going out?
nnc1.0026591928	Had she turned her head to peer into those shadows?
nnc1.0026591928	Had these dreams been forerunners of some menacing danger?
nnc1.0026591928	Had they been talking about me?
nnc1.0026591928	Had this footstep been Dorothy's, and if so, what had brought her into this remote portion of the house?
nnc1.0026591928	Have you any objection to my company?
nnc1.0026591928	How came you to be com- pletely dressed at near one in a country tavern like this?"
nnc1.0026591928	How could I dream that this man, who was little more than a memory to me and scarcely that, was secretly planning mischief against me?
nnc1.0026591928	How could I think of the other?
nnc1.0026591928	How could he save the room, and, by these means, save himself and her?
nnc1.0026591928	How could she have been?
nnc1.0026591928	How many of you are there?
nnc1.0026591928	How should I fill up this gap of silence?
nnc1.0026591928	How tell her of the great, the grievous mistake she had made?
nnc1.0026591928	How?"
nnc1.0026591928	I do n't think he meant no good here'"'Did she drop here in the hall?'
nnc1.0026591928	I do not understand — I am frightened — what have you to say to Dorothy you can not say to me?"
nnc1.0026591928	I have advised this man to hold his peace till I can make inquiries, but where am I to make them?
nnc1.0026591928	I merely ex- claimed:"And to- night?"
nnc1.0026591928	I urged,"and what was the nature of the wrong you did him?"
nnc1.0026591928	I'd think it a very curious quin — quin What's the word?
nnc1.0026591928	If you can manage to THE RUBY AND THE CALDRON 125 let me see her first without her seeing me, I shall be?
nnc1.0026591928	If you're not, why did you fire those bullets my way?
nnc1.0026591928	Instantly her look of curiosity changed to one of suspicion, and repeating,'What's in it?
nnc1.0026591928	Into what sort of gathering had I stumbled?
nnc1.0026591928	Is he at home?'
nnc1.0026591928	Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is it beautiful?
nnc1.0026591928	Is it behind these books, I say?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is it behind these books?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is it money you want?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is it?"
nnc1.0026591928	Is there unconsciousness in it, or just the hilarity of a dis- tracted mind bent on self- destruction?
nnc1.0026591928	Is this the police- station?"
nnc1.0026591928	It fell out""Your dressmaker's bill?"
nnc1.0026591928	It would seem so; but why should the slighted one have been Gilbertine?
nnc1.0026591928	Jake, are you up to the little game?"
nnc1.0026591928	Luke, Hector, Janet, have you heard him tell of that vision at his gateway, twenty- five years ago?
nnc1.0026591928	Never any other colour that you remember?"
nnc1.0026591928	No ale?
nnc1.0026591928	Nothing o'that sort, eh?
nnc1.0026591928	Now what was the shock?
nnc1.0026591928	Now, Mr. Worthington, what am I to do with this knowledge?
nnc1.0026591928	Oh, sir,"she moaned, catching at Mr. Hammer- smith's arm,"am I then mad?
nnc1.0026591928	Oh, what is happening now?"
nnc1.0026591928	Oh, what now?"
nnc1.0026591928	Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place?
nnc1.0026591928	On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
nnc1.0026591928	On this day at the Colonnade'— on what day?
nnc1.0026591928	Or is this a dream?
nnc1.0026591928	Or was another and more dreadful tragedy awaiting us?
nnc1.0026591928	Or was it a reflection from the setting sun?
nnc1.0026591928	Or was it some secret knowledge of her hus- band's fate, unknown to others?
nnc1.0026591928	Or — thought insupport- able! — had she secretly yielded to another what she had so long denied me, and?
nnc1.0026591928	Probably you can not even tell how the ladies took it?"
nnc1.0026591928	Quimby?"
nnc1.0026591928	Quimby?"
nnc1.0026591928	Searched the room and the stable?"
nnc1.0026591928	Shall I assist you to put them on?
nnc1.0026591928	Shall I shut the door for you?"
nnc1.0026591928	Shall I step into the drawing- room with you?"
nnc1.0026591928	Shall I throw him outside the house?"
nnc1.0026591928	Shall we bring him in?"
nnc1.0026591928	Shall we fare on together, you, I — and the little child?"
nnc1.0026591928	Shall we let the matter pass, then, as though it were of small importance?
nnc1.0026591928	Shall we, then, fare on together — you, I, and the little child?"
nnc1.0026591928	She must have spoken the truth, but was it the entire truth?
nnc1.0026591928	Should I ask him if this was so?
nnc1.0026591928	Should I find Miss Lane there?
nnc1.0026591928	Should I send Hen- dricks or should I send Hicks?
nnc1.0026591928	Should I signal for my companions?
nnc1.0026591928	Should we in another minute encounter her ponderous figure in the group of peo- ple we could now hear hurrying toward us?
nnc1.0026591928	Stopping near him, I directed his attention to it by saying:"Pardon me, but did I not see something drop out of your hand?"
nnc1.0026591928	Surely Mr. Quimby was not there alone?"
nnc1.0026591928	THE GREY LADY 329"'We are going to leave this house?'
nnc1.0026591928	The coroner understood and turned back to Jake with the seemingly irrelevant inquiry:"Where did you leave Mr. Quimby when you went to the cock- loft?"
nnc1.0026591928	The next point is, how are we to settle our doubts?
nnc1.0026591928	Then he forgot me utterly again, and, facing his wife, growled out:"'Where are you going to get breakfast then?
nnc1.0026591928	Then suddenly, and with a startling impetuosity, which drew her to her feet:"Are you going to tell everybody that?
nnc1.0026591928	Then with a sly look at her trembling form and white face he insinuatingly added,"All alone, missus?"
nnc1.0026591928	Then you know where I got the poison with which I tipped the silly toy with which that weak man fooled away his life?"
nnc1.0026591928	This imposing figure might be that of a millionaire's daughter; how, then, could I associate her, even in my own mind, with theft?
nnc1.0026591928	This scene THE AMETHYST BOX 223 of seeming mirth and happy promise, or the fancies he had conjured up to rob us both of peace?
nnc1.0026591928	Through the bedroom door, then?
nnc1.0026591928	To one of the former I addressed the question:"Where is the butler's pantry?
nnc1.0026591928	Was I dreaming or under the spell of some frightful hallucination which led me to mis- read the name on the slip of paper before me?
nnc1.0026591928	Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost?"
nnc1.0026591928	Was he to encounter it now?
nnc1.0026591928	Was her heart still cold, her affection unwon?
nnc1.0026591928	Was it a dream?
nnc1.0026591928	Was it fire?
nnc1.0026591928	Was it hers?
nnc1.0026591928	Was it his duty to wait for this girl, possibly al- ready overcome by her fears and lying insensible?
nnc1.0026591928	Was she locked in, too?
nnc1.0026591928	Was she still in the conservatory?
nnc1.0026591928	Was that Quimby speaking?
nnc1.0026591928	Was that a window they heard flying up?
nnc1.0026591928	Was this a signal or a precaution?
nnc1.0026591928	Was this what we heard just before that scream went up?
nnc1.0026591928	We do n't mind the storm, do we?"
nnc1.0026591928	Well, have you got it?"
nnc1.0026591928	Were his own feelings involved in this matter?
nnc1.0026591928	Were we not wasting strength and a great deal of emotion on a dread which had no foundation in fact?
nnc1.0026591928	What about Quimby?"
nnc1.0026591928	What about the daugh- ter?"
nnc1.0026591928	What alternative remained?
nnc1.0026591928	What can she have to say except that she was mighty fortunate not to have been burned up in the fire last night?"
nnc1.0026591928	What did it mean?
nnc1.0026591928	What did it mean?
nnc1.0026591928	What did it portend?
nnc1.0026591928	What has happened to them?
nnc1.0026591928	What has he every right to think?
nnc1.0026591928	What have you forgot?"
nnc1.0026591928	What interest can a police- officer, called in, as I understand, to recover a stolen jewel, have in Frances Glover's personal difficulties?"
nnc1.0026591928	What is in it, and why were you so afraid of my seeing it?'
nnc1.0026591928	What is it now?)
nnc1.0026591928	What made you think he might still have the ruby?"
nnc1.0026591928	What must he think?
nnc1.0026591928	What shall I do now?
nnc1.0026591928	What shall we say to them?"
nnc1.0026591928	What should there be a conspiracy about?
nnc1.0026591928	What troubles Miss Glover?
nnc1.0026591928	What turned Quimby against her?
nnc1.0026591928	What was I to say — what could I say, in response to such a declaration, following so imme- diately upon his warm assertion of her innocence?
nnc1.0026591928	What was the article you were seen to pick up from the driveway soon after leaving your carriage?"
nnc1.0026591928	What was the mat- ter?
nnc1.0026591928	What was to be done?
nnc1.0026591928	What would Quimby do?
nnc1.0026591928	What would be the result?
nnc1.0026591928	What's in it?'
nnc1.0026591928	What's the matter?"
nnc1.0026591928	What's the plot?"
nnc1.0026591928	What's this?'
nnc1.0026591928	What, then, could you expect from two poor girls entirely dependent upon her for everything they enjoyed?
nnc1.0026591928	When was this?"
nnc1.0026591928	When?
nnc1.0026591928	Where are our cloaks — our rubbers?"
nnc1.0026591928	Where is the candle?"
nnc1.0026591928	Where was she hidden?
nnc1.0026591928	Where was she when her aunt died?"
nnc1.0026591928	Where was she, then?
nnc1.0026591928	Where will you see him?"
nnc1.0026591928	Which was the dream?
nnc1.0026591928	Who are his witnesses?
nnc1.0026591928	Who had uttered that dreadful shriek?
nnc1.0026591928	Who saw her?"
nnc1.0026591928	Who?
nnc1.0026591928	Why did they have to look for you?
nnc1.0026591928	Why did this sound, so easily to be accounted for, ring in my ears like a note of warning?
nnc1.0026591928	Why did you pretend to love me when you did n't?"
nnc1.0026591928	Why do you look at me with those incredulous eyes?"
nnc1.0026591928	Why had she let herself grow mad with terror when here, within reach of her hand, lay such a means of self- defence?
nnc1.0026591928	Why is this?
nnc1.0026591928	Why mar it by unnecessary unpleasantness?"
nnc1.0026591928	Why should I fear any surprise, prepared as I was for every emergency?
nnc1.0026591928	Why were they here again so early?
nnc1.0026591928	Why, then, did my brain whirl and my heart collapse?
nnc1.0026591928	Why, then, those bullets?
nnc1.0026591928	Will not that answer, without fur- ther conversation?
nnc1.0026591928	With a deepening flush, she flashed out:"You had n't?
nnc1.0026591928	With some- thing between a hitch and a shrug, he drew himself upright and with some slight display of temper cried out,"Who says he was there?"
nnc1.0026591928	Wo n't you believe me?
nnc1.0026591928	Would I go down to her?
nnc1.0026591928	Would a shout attract her?
nnc1.0026591928	Would he have to jump to the ground in his own despite?
nnc1.0026591928	Would her indignation hold out under the insinuat- ing smile with which the artful rascal awaited her words?
nnc1.0026591928	Would it come in the form of a bullet, or a deadly thrust from an unseen knife?
nnc1.0026591928	Would it not be better to say that her husband was upstairs?
nnc1.0026591928	Would n't you, Huldah?"
nnc1.0026591928	Would she be found huddled but alive in some far- off chamber?
nnc1.0026591928	Would she see him and take cour- age?
nnc1.0026591928	Would you like to look through them?
nnc1.0026591928	Yes, a stir, a very faint stir somewhere down the hall — the slow, cautious opening of a door, then a footfall — or had I imagined the latter?
nnc1.0026591928	Yes, but should she acknowledge it?
nnc1.0026591928	Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young THE RUBY AND THE CALDRON girl?
nnc1.0026591928	Yet who knows?
nnc1.0026591928	Yet why should the old woman frown on me?
nnc1.0026591928	You and your babe are still alive; while they""What of them?
nnc1.0026591928	You call them dreadful?"
nnc1.0026591928	You did n't want me dead?
nnc1.0026591928	You have seen this paper covered with the pink scrolls before?"
nnc1.0026591928	You remember the Stevens case?
nnc1.0026591928	You were a Westonhaugh, I believe?"
nnc1.0026591928	You've opened all the others; why do you pass that one by?"
nnc1.0026591928	Your work in the house has been upstairs work, has n't it?"
nnc1.0026591928	had startled him?
nnc1.0026591928	he shouted,"do you see that black spot?
nnc1.0026591928	was his comment;"entailing I do not know what unfortunate consequences upon this household and on the unhappy girl""Girl?"
nnc1.0026591928	what now?
nnc1.0026591928	what was that?
nnc1.0026591928	what's this?"
nnc1.0026591928	where?
nyp.33433074947692	- “ Were the negatives already in the hands of the police?
nyp.33433074947692	. ”?
nyp.33433074947692	217 know it's true; so do I; but who else would believe us?
nyp.33433074947692	69 ducted the post- mortem, and put Justice off the scent?
nyp.33433074947692	A young man in knickerbockers?'
nyp.33433074947692	And did I go to Berry Pomeroy? ” for I stuck to my point, and meant to get it out of her.
nyp.33433074947692	And did he take a set of photographs? ” Minnie clapped her hands triumphantly.
nyp.33433074947692	And how many people, I asked myself, had cut themselves time and again in climbing over that barricaded garden- wall of my father's?
nyp.33433074947692	And of those two, one's unknown, and the other has forgotten. ” “ But you suspect who he is? ” I put in, probing the secret curiously.
nyp.33433074947692	And pray, sir, what do you want here this evening? ’ ” “ Go on t ” Jack cried, intensely relieved, I could feel.
nyp.33433074947692	And still, even in sleep, I asked myself over and over again, “ How on earth can this be?
nyp.33433074947692	And was Dr. Marten in league with her?
nyp.33433074947692	And was I now practically at the mercy of the criminal I was trying to track down?
nyp.33433074947692	And was I to be dogged and annoyed like this through all my Canadian trip by anonymous scribblers?
nyp.33433074947692	And, above all, how could I remember a far ear- lier scene, when my papa was younger, when his face was smooth, and when there was no other baby?
nyp.33433074947692	As I lay awake and thought, the idea flashed across me suddenly, could Jane have any grudge of her own against Aunt Emma?
nyp.33433074947692	But ca n't you remember having seen his face before?
nyp.33433074947692	But how did you come to know my name was Una at all?"
nyp.33433074947692	But if once I ’d confessed and shown my wounded hand, who would ever have believed I ’d nothing to do with the murder?
nyp.33433074947692	But still, all this brought me no nearer the real question of questions — why did I shoot him?
nyp.33433074947692	But the photographs, Jack — the ap- paratus — the affair of the inquest? ” “ That was all very simple, ” Jack answered.
nyp.33433074947692	But was it really a woman's?
nyp.33433074947692	But when and why was I at Torquay?
nyp.33433074947692	Ca n't you remember it now, when I ’ve told you who I am and how it all happened? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433074947692	Ca n't you remember whether or not, just a moment before, you saw the murderer's face by the light of the flashes? ” I shut my eyes and thought.
nyp.33433074947692	Could I really after all have fired unintentionally?
nyp.33433074947692	Could an altercation have arisen on the father's return, and the fatal shot have been fired in the ensuing scuffle?
nyp.33433074947692	Could he have been there, then, by appoint- ment, without the father's knowledge?
nyp.33433074947692	Could my sweet traveling companion be en- gaged to my father's murderer?
nyp.33433074947692	Could n't I restore and reconstruct them, now I knew the last stage of the terrible history?
nyp.33433074947692	Did he want me to sleep one night at his house on purpose to rob me and mur- der me?
nyp.33433074947692	Did she want to set me against my aunt?
nyp.33433074947692	Did you see the shot fired?
nyp.33433074947692	Do n't you think it's a woman's? ” I gazed back at her incredulously.
nyp.33433074947692	Do you know who was the murderer? ” “ No, no! ” he exclaimed, starting once more.
nyp.33433074947692	Do you think any jury in England will believe, on your unsup- ported oath, such a cock- and- bull story?
nyp.33433074947692	Do you think, even if Richard Wharton's come back, and you've got him on your side, I ca n't cross- exam- ine all the life out of his body?'
nyp.33433074947692	Does n't even that come back?
nyp.33433074947692	Had 132 RAECALLED TO LIFE, these people no hearts; no consideration for the sensitiveness of an English lady?
nyp.33433074947692	Had Fate been so cruel to me, that I had learned to cling most in my Sec- ond State to the very criminal whose act had blotted out my First?
nyp.33433074947692	Had I begun, in all past efforts to remember, at the wrong end?
nyp.33433074947692	Had I ever an admirer?
nyp.33433074947692	Had I grown to treat like a mother my father's murderer?
nyp.33433074947692	Had I really any sort of justification in kill- ing him?
nyp.33433074947692	Had all the Moores got scars on their hands, I wondered?
nyp.33433074947692	Had he a beard?
nyp.33433074947692	Had he buried her alive, so to speak, in some prison or madhouse?
nyp.33433074947692	Had he pretended to get her out of the way?
nyp.33433074947692	Had my father put upon her some grievous wrong?
nyp.33433074947692	Had she returned in disguise from the asylum, or the living grave, to avenge herself and murder him?
nyp.33433074947692	He stepped up to me at once, pushed aside the young men, and said in a most friendly tone: “ Miss Callingham, I think?
nyp.33433074947692	He was a distant cousin of ours, of course — everything was always “ of course ” with that dear bright Minnie — what, did n't I know that?
nyp.33433074947692	He was n't cruel to me, was he? ” “ Oh no, miss, ” Jane answered promptly.
nyp.33433074947692	How could I have missed it before?
nyp.33433074947692	How dare I even parley with people who were friends of my father's murderer?
nyp.33433074947692	How dare you encourage my servants to disobey my orders?
nyp.33433074947692	How dare you force your way into my house in my absence?
nyp.33433074947692	How dare you imperil this young lady's health by coming here to talk with her? ” She turned round to me anxiously.
nyp.33433074947692	How did it stand relatively to the unlighted lamp?
nyp.33433074947692	How on earth could his hand be a woman's then, I'd like to know?
nyp.33433074947692	How, then, could I remember her, even in this exalted mental state of trance or dream?
nyp.33433074947692	I gave a start of horror: “ Not the wall at The Grange? ” I cried.
nyp.33433074947692	I mean — that is to say — in what part of Canada? ” Minnie looked at me and laughed.
nyp.33433074947692	I39 to fling myself at his feet and ask him to take me?
nyp.33433074947692	If I met him in the street, and he recognized me and spoke to me, what on earth could I do?
nyp.33433074947692	In what direction was my father's head lying?
nyp.33433074947692	Is Dr. Ivor a friend of yours? ” I recoiled at the stray question almost as if I ’d been shot.
nyp.33433074947692	Is that the picture that still haunts and pursues you? ”- He handed me the photograph he held in his fingers.
nyp.33433074947692	Is that the room you recollect?
nyp.33433074947692	Jack, why did you run away that last moment and leave me? ” Jack took my hand very seriously.
nyp.33433074947692	Lovers?—who can say?
nyp.33433074947692	Now, answer me this: was it one flash alone, or had there been several? ” I stopped and racked my brain.
nyp.33433074947692	Now, you've forced my hand, and I do n't know how I can any longer refrain from telling you. ” “ Telling me what? ” I said icily.
nyp.33433074947692	Of course you recollect your father's process?"
nyp.33433074947692	Of what club or society?
nyp.33433074947692	Then she said at last, after a deep pause, in a very hushed voice: “ Why, how did you get this?
nyp.33433074947692	Was I ever engaged to any one? ” He shrugged his shoulders and smiled a sort of smile of relief.
nyp.33433074947692	Was I going to relive my previous life, piece- meal?
nyp.33433074947692	Was I never for one moment to escape my own person- ality?
nyp.33433074947692	Was it my mother, indeed, who wrought the murder?
nyp.33433074947692	Was it possible he fancied I loved him still — that I wanted to marry him?
nyp.33433074947692	Was my First State to become known like this, in suc- cessive scenes, to my Second?
nyp.33433074947692	Was my poor father there that day?
nyp.33433074947692	Was she living or dead?
nyp.33433074947692	Was the murderer, then, a Moore, and was that the meaning of Dr. Marten's warning?
nyp.33433074947692	Was this a deliberate plot?
nyp.33433074947692	Was this the common case of a clandestine assignation?
nyp.33433074947692	Were they telegraphing signs?
nyp.33433074947692	What could be the meaning of that mys- terious baby?.
nyp.33433074947692	What did she mean by her warnings that I should keep my mind open?
nyp.33433074947692	What do you want to know for, Una?
nyp.33433074947692	What eyes?
nyp.33433074947692	What have I said?
nyp.33433074947692	What men?
nyp.33433074947692	What was the position of the pistol on the floor?
nyp.33433074947692	What's the meaning of the baby? ” Perhaps it was a little sister that died young, whom I never had heard of.
nyp.33433074947692	When and where?
nyp.33433074947692	Who was that man?
nyp.33433074947692	Why all these dark hints?
nyp.33433074947692	Why did n't I remember the murderer's face?
nyp.33433074947692	Why did n't you bring me yourself?
nyp.33433074947692	Why did n't you hurry to nurse me as soon as you heard they'd shot my father? ” Aunt Emma gazed at me again with a face like a sheet.
nyp.33433074947692	Why had she said from the very first it was a woman's hand?
nyp.33433074947692	Why might n't a woman dress in a man's suit on pur- pose?
nyp.33433074947692	Why on earth did he think I was going to Palmyra?
nyp.33433074947692	Why on earth did n't he want me to talk about Australia? ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433074947692	Will you tell me exactly how much you re- member? ” I told him in a few words precisely how the scene had imprinted itself on my memory.
nyp.33433074947692	Wo n't you believe me when I tell you, I never did it? ” “ No, I ca n't, ” I answered with sullen resolu- tion, though my eyes belied my words.
nyp.33433074947692	Wo n't you trust me, without?
nyp.33433074947692	Yet oh, what baby?
nyp.33433074947692	You ca n't understand that, my child?
nyp.33433074947692	You have n't the faintest idea, then, who the murderer was or what he looked like? ” I rose up before him solemnly, and stared him full in the face.
nyp.33433074947692	You must surely remember me? ” I shook my head slowly.
nyp.33433074947692	a mustache?
nyp.33433074947692	and why was he there, unknown to the servants, in a room with nobody but Mr. Callingham and his daughter?
nyp.33433074947692	but to look for him?
nyp.33433074947692	how am I ever to explain the misconception to you?
nyp.33433074947692	it?
nyp.33433074947692	what can I ever do to disillusion you? ” he cried in despair.
nyp.33433074947692	what harm indeed? ” Jane echoed blandly.
nyp.33433074947692	what nose?
nyp.33433074947692	what on earth was I to do?
nyp.33433074947692	what ought I to do? ” I cried, wringing my hands.
nyp.33433074947692	what was this in big flaring letters?
nyp.33433074947692	you mean by your words?
nyp.33433074947692	‘ Rich- ard Wharton come back?
nyp.33433074947692	“ A young man, running hard?
nyp.33433074947692	“ And his name? ” Jack asked of the poor old man, horrified.
nyp.33433074947692	“ And now will you give yourself up to the police, Una? ” he asked me quietly.
nyp.33433074947692	“ And then? ” he went on in a very low voice, half prompting me.
nyp.33433074947692	“ And when I was there, did I go over one day to Berry Pomeroy? ” Aunt Emma grew all at once as white as death.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Berkshire: Berham: Berhampore; that wo n't do; Berlin: Berling: Bernina; Berry — what's that?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Do n't you see what it is?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Do you know a Dr. Ivor there? ” I asked eagerly, leaning forward.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Do you know, ” he asked, “ how that photo- graph was produced, and how it came into our possession?"
nyp.33433074947692	“ Er ”?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Going back?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Have you forgotten all about it?
nyp.33433074947692	“ How can I help it? ” I answered.
nyp.33433074947692	“ How could I?"
nyp.33433074947692	“ How could she ever consent to such a wicked deception? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074947692	“ How should I know? ” he answered.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Minnie, ” I said once more, screwing up my courage to ask, “ where's Dr. Ivor now?
nyp.33433074947692	“ My sister's name's Elsie; mine's John Che- riton. ” “ And yours? ” Elsie asked, glancing timidly down at me.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Oh what can I ever do?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Oh, darling, why do you ask? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074947692	“ So far as you know, Dr. Marten, ” I asked, “ was I ever in love?
nyp.33433074947692	“ The other what? ” I repeated, amazed, for I did n't really understand him.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Then he came down here to see you, did he? ” It was horrible to find how all my movements were discussed and chronicled.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Then you thought him harsh in the servants'hall? ” I said tentatively to Jane.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Was I ever at Torquay? ” I asked once more, as firmly as I could.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Was it a dance — or a picnic? ” “ Oh, you know very well, ” Minnie went on teasingly, “ though you pretend you forget.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Well, where are the other ones? ” he asked, pouncing down upon me quite fiercely.
nyp.33433074947692	“ What do you mean? ” I exclaimed eagerly.
nyp.33433074947692	“ What have I done?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Which is she?
nyp.33433074947692	“ Who are you? ” I asked blindly, clinging to his arm in my terror.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Whose hand is that? ” she asked with a strange earnestness, putting her nail on the murderer's.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why did n't you give evidence and say so at the inquest?"
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why did n't you tell me this long ago? ” I cried, in an agony of suspense.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why should the knowledge of the true circum- stances of the case make me more unhappy than I am at present? ” 7o RECALLED 7"O LIFE.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why, I thought you were Miss Callingham"“ How on earth did you know that? ” I ex- claimed, terrified almost out of my life.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why, how on earth did you do that? ” I cried, thunderstruck at the discovery.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why, surely they do n't put the state of my health in the newspapers? ” For I did n't know then I was a Psychological Phenomenon.
nyp.33433074947692	“ Why, what harm was there in that?
nyp.33433074947692	“ You do n't mean to say you remember that, do you?
nyp.33433074947692	“ You remember the murder? ” “ Perfectly, ” I answered him, trembling all over.
nyp.33433074947692	“ You understand what all this means? ” he said interrogatively, leaning forward as he spoke.
nyp.33433074947692	“ You're sure that's him, Minnie? ” I cried, try- AR.
nyp.33433074947692	“ ‘ Have you seen anybody go this way?'
nyp.33433074919519	'Have n't I heard you say constantly you did n't know another girl to compare with her?'
nyp.33433074919519	... “ Can I step out upon the bridge for a few minutes?
nyp.33433074919519	.... We go to Schloss Rabensberg?
nyp.33433074919519	..... Can you keep a secret, Mr. Dunblane?

nyp.33433074919519	35 “ What do you mean?
nyp.33433074919519	53 “ Why were you not out with us, yesterday, Wal- brooke? ” said a man who had just come in.
nyp.33433074919519	93 “ What do that mean? ” asked the boosy labourer, taking the pipe from his mouth, his leaden eye lighted up with a gleam of curiosity.
nyp.33433074919519	?
nyp.33433074919519	A dear little curly head was hidden on my breast, and a small voice whispered plaintively: “ You wo n't go down to her?
nyp.33433074919519	After that, I de- termined to have no more parties. ” “ Have you ever communicated with her-- her friends? ” GEOFFREY LUTTRELL'S NARRATIVE.

nyp.33433074919519	And now, what am I to do?
nyp.33433074919519	And now,—while I can still see you, still hear your voice, — will you say that you forgive me, Rudolph? ” He was on his knees beside her.
nyp.33433074919519	And where was Mr. Walbrooke?
nyp.33433074919519	And, now where is your pile of napoleons?
nyp.33433074919519	Are Mr. and Mrs. Ridgway at dinner? ” “ Only Mr. Ridgway, sir.
nyp.33433074919519	Are we not better here than in Stutgardt, where the good Queen would have us?
nyp.33433074919519	Art thou prepared to start? ” “ Surely.
nyp.33433074919519	As I moved wearily away, the elder one spoke: “ Have you no money to buy yourself a night's lodging, young man? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	As it is- suppose we have some of this aspic de volaille?
nyp.33433074919519	As the morning wore on, I resolved to obtain an interview with Assunta; but how was this to be ac- complished?
nyp.33433074919519	As to this, you are quite safe, as I leave Homburg to- morrow. ” “ The gracious lady- mother calls you back?
nyp.33433074919519	At last I broke the ground with, “ Well, Harry, what passed between you and your uncle?
nyp.33433074919519	But I put it to you fairly- est- ce que cela vaut la peine?
nyp.33433074919519	But have I not some- thing better now?
nyp.33433074919519	But such cases were rare, and how, in my mother's case, was this end to be compassed?
nyp.33433074919519	But the Lord has so willed it; and is not His word more than corn and oil?
nyp.33433074919519	But what could he mean by saying that she alone could remove the fatal spell?
nyp.33433074919519	But what was to be done?
nyp.33433074919519	But you're going to do everything I ask, ai n't you, Rudolph?
nyp.33433074919519	But, on the other hand, does not humanity call for some investigation into this?
nyp.33433074919519	Ca n't you see them?
nyp.33433074919519	Can the castle- gate be unlocked? ” For a second it seemed as if Hanne hesitated.

nyp.33433074919519	He seemed dazed; but muttered something about change being good for her ladyship. ” “ And who attended her during these attacks? ” I inquired.

nyp.33433074919519	I ask myself, what am I to do? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433074919519	I ask myself, “ Shall I not be as a millstone round his neck?
nyp.33433074919519	I asked him what fault he could find in Assunta?
nyp.33433074919519	I believe it would have been all square if I had n't spoken. ” “ Why, what did you say?
nyp.33433074919519	I could now hear Fynchden's voice, shouting, “ What's the row?
nyp.33433074919519	I made up my mind that I would not leave the neigh- bourhood till I had seen and spoken to Assunta; but how was this to be managed?

nyp.33433074919519	Is there never any noise?
nyp.33433074919519	It is clear enough, is it not?
nyp.33433074919519	It is looked upon as my eccentricity. ” “ What medical advice have you had? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074919519	Luttrell, ” she added, “ have you seen Harry lately? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	Mr. Ridgway had gained all he had wanted; the county had flocked to his house; how could its idle tongues affect him now?
nyp.33433074919519	My dear young friend, it is time you loosened the apron- strings a little. ” “ Loosened the apron- strings?
nyp.33433074919519	My heart yearned to go after her, but what could I do?
nyp.33433074919519	No one ever answered him before; his mother, his servants, his friends,—why,—you yourself, I dare- say, you never contradict him?
nyp.33433074919519	Not on Harry's account, I conclude?
nyp.33433074919519	Of course you are aware that Mr. Fleming and his wife brought me up out of charity, that I am indebted to them for everything I have ever had?
nyp.33433074919519	Of course, Rudolph wished to drive his wife out; but it was a fine afternoon, and what was Mrs. Willington to do?
nyp.33433074919519	Of infinite resource, helpful, ever courteous, why was it I could not like this man?
nyp.33433074919519	Of what use to de- scribe it?
nyp.33433074919519	One day, about a year after my return, George Pilson( you remember Pilson and Pilson, the attorneys?
nyp.33433074919519	Only, what would his mother say?
nyp.33433074919519	PRO!!!?
nyp.33433074919519	Perhaps it were wise to have the thing done, if possible, without her knowing it?
nyp.33433074919519	Ridgway has sent me to ask, sir, if your name is not Luttrell?
nyp.33433074919519	Sadly changed, if you ask me, Mr. Ridgway. ” “ Did she say anything to you before dinner?
nyp.33433074919519	Shall I tell thee the truth?
nyp.33433074919519	Shall we put off dinner for half- an- hour? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	She and Harry were nearly of an age( I believe she was a few months older); how could they do otherwise than fall in love with each other?
nyp.33433074919519	She did not dislike him; she heard his conversation with a certain acknow-?
nyp.33433074919519	She disappeared suddenly. ” “ Did you ever see any indication of a tendency to such a malady in her ladyship? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074919519	She does all she can to goad me to madness — and per- haps she has succeeded: who can say?
nyp.33433074919519	She knew she had been dreaming; she asked herself, in those few doubtful moments, whether this was a continuation of her nightmare?
nyp.33433074919519	She said to her attendant:"Is it always like this?
nyp.33433074919519	Shout to them, sir, wo n't you? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	Six weeks after Waldstein's introduction to Margaret, this is what he wrote to his mother:-... “ You wonder at my long silence, best of mothers?
nyp.33433074919519	Still,-how old is she?
nyp.33433074919519	Suppose she draws comparisons between us? ” “ You need fear no comparison, ” said I, and the pang that shot through me was audible in a sigh.
nyp.33433074919519	Surely he was not so unreasonable as not to forgive her for leaving him?
nyp.33433074919519	Tell him how miserable he has made me this evening, will you? ” The Squire, it was evident, had not got over Harry's last speech.
nyp.33433074919519	Tell them not to — not to go out there, will you? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074919519	Tell them not to — not to go out there, will you? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074919519	That is hard, is it not, Mr. Luttrell?—to separate Harry and his uncle, who has been like a father to him?
nyp.33433074919519	That looks like a rich neighbour,—and the only one, I suppose? ” “ It belongs to a rich manufacturer, whose mills you see in the valley below.
nyp.33433074919519	The two Misses Le Gros from Brussels?
nyp.33433074919519	The wife and daughter of that Scotch general with a wonderful name, which he owed to the compositor?
nyp.33433074919519	There is not a word of truth in what he or any one else says about this. ” “ How do you know?
nyp.33433074919519	There were probabilities in favour of it; but, on the other hand, might not this wretch herself have been the in- strument?
nyp.33433074919519	There's no dis- grace in'touting'Geoff? ” “ I do n't say that there is any disgrace, but I know that your uncle would never forgive you.
nyp.33433074919519	This young gentleman may be said to drink"absolument,'eh?
nyp.33433074919519	Thou did'st well to return, Rudolph; but why not thy wife?
nyp.33433074919519	Walbrooke, of course, it is who has brought this about?
nyp.33433074919519	Was Assunta a dupe of them?
nyp.33433074919519	Was it all to be wasted?
nyp.33433074919519	Was it true that she was free?
nyp.33433074919519	Was she to be left to a tête- à- tête with the Gräfin?
nyp.33433074919519	Was the place haunted?
nyp.33433074919519	We see no one from one week's end to another in this castle of Otranto( you have read Mr. Walpole's romance?
nyp.33433074919519	What could he mean?
nyp.33433074919519	What countrywoman is she, I wonder?
nyp.33433074919519	What did she say about me?"
nyp.33433074919519	What do I care for his money com- pared with her?
nyp.33433074919519	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074919519	What do you say for yours, my darling? ” Margaret murmured that perhaps blue would be pretty.
nyp.33433074919519	What for, pray?
nyp.33433074919519	What has happened? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	What if he should, indeed, be too late; and it should be all over with her?
nyp.33433074919519	What if she should have passed away without laying her hand upon his head, and giving him her last blessing?
nyp.33433074919519	What is it?
nyp.33433074919519	What is the use of brooding over the past, and imaginary ills of every kind, instead of seizing the pleasures of the hour, eh?
nyp.33433074919519	What is to be done?
nyp.33433074919519	What possible means had I of extricating her from her troubles but this?
nyp.33433074919519	What was it about her which was so unlike any other woman?
nyp.33433074919519	What was it?—Could it be...?...
nyp.33433074919519	What will become of him?
nyp.33433074919519	When did such a prophecy ever come wrong?
nyp.33433074919519	When do she and the child follow thee?
nyp.33433074919519	Where did you spring from, Harry?
nyp.33433074919519	Where to?
nyp.33433074919519	Where was he?
nyp.33433074919519	Which of all these was it?
nyp.33433074919519	Which of these names was most likely to fit the individuals who en- grossed his thoughts at this moment?
nyp.33433074919519	Who was Louise?"
nyp.33433074919519	Whose is that big white house on the distant hill?
nyp.33433074919519	Why are none of our German girls ever like that?
nyp.33433074919519	Why cut yourself off from all com- munication with friends who love you so truly? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	Why did he not come to her?
nyp.33433074919519	Why did not General von Hanecke warn her?
nyp.33433074919519	Why did she dance with him if she does n't encourage him? ” “ How could she help it when she was engaged?
nyp.33433074919519	Why did she dance with him if she does n't encourage him? ” “ How could she help it when she was engaged?
nyp.33433074919519	Why did you keep all this to yourself until now, pray? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	Why do you stay here? ” “ Because-- never mind why, my precious child.
nyp.33433074919519	Why should I any longer stand between him and you, between him and his future?
nyp.33433074919519	Why should she?
nyp.33433074919519	Will he care for me when I am old and withered?
nyp.33433074919519	Will no one take them off?
nyp.33433074919519	Will the day not come when he will regret having married the penniless foundling?
nyp.33433074919519	Without His blessing, what is the beauty of the flesh?—the lust of the eyes?
nyp.33433074919519	Yes, when I think of the day we found her, nearly twenty- one years ago now( Jane, will you sit still, once for all?
nyp.33433074919519	Yet are we not all dust alike in the Lord's eyes?
nyp.33433074919519	You are proud of your physical prowess, Harry, but what is a man worth who has no self- control? ” “ Nothing!
nyp.33433074919519	You can carry us both over, ca n't you, Harry?
nyp.33433074919519	You do n't mind them, I hope?
nyp.33433074919519	You know how it is done?
nyp.33433074919519	You look just like an angel in powder, going out hunting; does n't he, Assunta?
nyp.33433074919519	You may come with us, young man. ” Something within me said,"Do not go. ” But why?
nyp.33433074919519	You remember what Horace says?
nyp.33433074919519	You will wait?'
nyp.33433074919519	You wo n't see her?
nyp.33433074919519	before I came into the room?"
nyp.33433074919519	by pain- ful and fruitless discussion?
nyp.33433074919519	by- the- bye, I heard Ridgway say just now"“ What did you hear him say?"
nyp.33433074919519	could she refuse?
nyp.33433074919519	couple here to- night, that my ears might testify to the baseness of her who had seduced me from my heart's first allegiance?
nyp.33433074919519	neighbours? ” I asked, presently, anxious to elicit something from my host on this head.
nyp.33433074919519	or was she so entirely ab- sorbed by Harry, that the thought of Mr. Ridgway, as a suitor, never crossed her mind?
nyp.33433074919519	pray how did you sleep? ” he inquired, knitting his brows.
nyp.33433074919519	round of his silent, solitary hours like Mrs. Brace?
nyp.33433074919519	that this seclusion in her boudoir was voluntary?
nyp.33433074919519	what has happened? ” “ She is not to be found.
nyp.33433074919519	would it not have been better to have let Fate work her will then, instead of holding her hand for a time?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Ah, I never write to any one now! ” “ Not even to Lena? ” “ Not even to Lena."
nyp.33433074919519	“ And Mrs. Fleming and the children- do you never hear from them? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	“ And so you saw her several times?
nyp.33433074919519	“ And what's dots? ” “ Dots is brownies, as we call'em sometimes, that's pence.
nyp.33433074919519	“ And when did she die? ” continued Magda.
nyp.33433074919519	“ And whereabouts do you sleep?
nyp.33433074919519	“ And why not?
nyp.33433074919519	“ And you have no misgiving?
nyp.33433074919519	“ And you?
nyp.33433074919519	“ And, pray, what are we to do with the apples? ” she said at last.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Brutes?
nyp.33433074919519	“ But even virtue may be carried to extreme- eh?
nyp.33433074919519	“ But if the boat is n't seaworthy, they had better land on that side, instead of recrossing the lake? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Did you not hear a very peculiar sharp cry? ” asked Magda, again.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Do you know where Mrs. Ridgway is? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Does it leak?"
nyp.33433074919519	“ Has Mrs. Ridgway been more communicative to you this morning?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Has he? ” she rejoined, eagerly.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Have you got leave?
nyp.33433074919519	“ He said that, did he? ” Harry ground his teeth.
nyp.33433074919519	“ How can her friends sacrifice her thus?
nyp.33433074919519	“ How is Harry?
nyp.33433074919519	“ How thankful| I am. ” “ And the other thing? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074919519	“ I am like Bacchus- am I?
nyp.33433074919519	“ I do n't think you know Ridgway, of Hapsbury, do you?"
nyp.33433074919519	“ I have been too down in the mouth, lately, to write to you, Geoff; but you'll forgive me, eh?
nyp.33433074919519	“ I suppose Assunta has told yon all about her pro- spects? ” said the widow.
nyp.33433074919519	“ I wish you would be more careful. ” “ Perhaps you would like me to walk round the garden in goloshes and a fur coat? ” retorted Harry.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Is it coxcombry to speak the truth?
nyp.33433074919519	“ My darling, what are you afraid of?
nyp.33433074919519	“ My dear Rudolph, when are you going to begin refurnishing the château?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Never play at whist?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Nothing can prevent our hearing each other here, can it?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Only I tell me what good my going can do? ” “ I can not....
nyp.33433074919519	“ Sit down, at all events, for a minute, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074919519	“ So it's a settled thing is it, Geoff?
nyp.33433074919519	“ So, then — Madame Willington — is coming — to live here? ” “ I did n't say to live,—not exactly to live, mother.
nyp.33433074919519	“ The other side of the county, you know. ” “ Who? ” said Sir Robert, with a surprise which, if assumed, did credit to his acting.
nyp.33433074919519	“ They have driven her to it, Geoff, and, by Heaven, I'll never forgive them. ” “ And you, Harry?
nyp.33433074919519	“ This is better than the noise of Paris, after all, Herzchen, is it not? ” he said.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Was no doctor sent for? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	“ We are not to be caught any more than the fish, are we, Assunta?"
nyp.33433074919519	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433074919519	“ What dost thou with the apples, Rudolph? ”.
nyp.33433074919519	“ What is to be the end of all this? ” I said to him.
nyp.33433074919519	“ What is your name? ” asked Magda, after a pause, during which her heart seemed to stand still.
nyp.33433074919519	“ What mad freak has brought you here, Harry? ” asked his uncle, with knit brows.
nyp.33433074919519	“ What was that?
nyp.33433074919519	“ What was that? ” said Magda, startled.
nyp.33433074919519	“ What was that?"
nyp.33433074919519	“ Who forbids you? ” “ It is forbidden, ” she repeated.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Whose name is that?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Why so, pray?
nyp.33433074919519	“ Why, what manner of man are you, that drink water? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Why? ” said Magda, grown almost bold by her curiosity, and by her confidence in the kindly wrinkled face before her.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Will you write to me, dear Miss Fleming? ” I asked, with as steady a voice as I could command.
nyp.33433074919519	“ Yes, the country apothecary came once. ” “ And what did he say?
nyp.33433074919519	“ You do n't think Harry a fool, Mr. Ridgway? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074919519	“ You have been turning me into ridicule, then, for Miss Fleming's amusement, also, have you? ” roared Harry, who was now fairly beside himself.
nyp.33433074919519	“ You were not disturbed?
nyp.33433074811203	A race on? nyp.33433074811203 A stranger?"
nyp.33433074811203	Aimée,he asked gravely,"have you forgotten everything about the past?
nyp.33433074811203	Are sundials expensive? ” I successfully kept my voice expressionless. nyp.33433074811203 Are they old friends of Mr. Lannion?"
nyp.33433074811203	Are you angry?
nyp.33433074811203	Are you very angry with me, Katie?
nyp.33433074811203	Are you very angry, dear little Hope? nyp.33433074811203 Better stay here and I'll tell you a story. ” “ What about?"
nyp.33433074811203	But how can he? ” I demanded. nyp.33433074811203 But where are they to meet me, then? ” “ They are lending you to me for a little while,"64 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM said Mr. Lannion.
nyp.33433074811203	Can you walk, do you think? ” he inquired anx- iously. nyp.33433074811203 Dear Mrs. Despard, ” I said impulsively, “ wo n't you stay with me to- night?
nyp.33433074811203	Dear me,I exclaimed, eying the fat bottle in real consternation, “ I forgot all about that! ” “ What were you thinking of — if I may ask??!
nyp.33433074811203	Dear me,I exclaimed, eying the fat bottle in real consternation, “ I forgot all about that! ” “ What were you thinking of — if I may ask??!
nyp.33433074811203	Death? ” I said softly. nyp.33433074811203 Did she come here? ” “ No, sir, ” said Mrs. Stephens steadily.
nyp.33433074811203	Did you hear Hermes singing, M. Lan- nion? nyp.33433074811203 Did you imagine yourself unseen? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811203	Did you leave your boat below? nyp.33433074811203 Do n't you hear the breakers on the bar?
nyp.33433074811203	Do n't you like cake? ” he asked. nyp.33433074811203 Do you suppose he meant clothes? ” asked Mrs. Despard.
nyp.33433074811203	Does Roddy try to carry out his plan of taming them? ” I asked, looking down at the dogs and trying to help the man out. nyp.33433074811203 Five dollars? ” I questioned, looking at him ear- nestly.
nyp.33433074811203	For how long? ” “ One week, maybe two,was the answer.
nyp.33433074811203	Harmless to you? nyp.33433074811203 Has Mrs. Lucas been ill long? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074811203	Has he gone away? ”No, he has n't, ” said Mrs. Despard irritably,"but I'most wish he had.
nyp.33433074811203	Has she hurt herself? ” “ Yes, ” said Mr. King quickly, with meaning,she's lost her slippers — and hurt her feet.
nyp.33433074811203	Have n't I earned a word of commendation? nyp.33433074811203 How much? ” he echoed.
nyp.33433074811203	How, Roddy?
nyp.33433074811203	I am not thought dead? ” He shook his head slowly. nyp.33433074811203 I ask for help, and you give me- noth- “ Nothing? ” He pointed at the little heaps of money and raised his eyebrows, smiling quizzically.
nyp.33433074811203	I hope them men from town — the same party as was here last month, ai n't they? ” He looked at Solomon who nodded. nyp.33433074811203 I love nonsense, do n't you?
nyp.33433074811203	If Malcolm Lucas was admirin''outfits'as being the handsomest in the country, would n't you care?
nyp.33433074811203	If nothing is the matter, Mr. Lannion, why does no one come?
nyp.33433074811203	If you would let me have the gun? ” I suggested timidly. nyp.33433074811203 Indeed?"
nyp.33433074811203	Is it Proserpina? nyp.33433074811203 Is it a mountain?"
nyp.33433074811203	Is — what you have donepunishable by law? ” “ Very much so, ” he said curtly. nyp.33433074811203 It is to make me sleep?"
nyp.33433074811203	It was you who told Roddy he was a were- wolf? ” I asked at last. nyp.33433074811203 It's 208 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM Max Errol, and tell of the poor girl's — shall we say hallucination?"
nyp.33433074811203	Katie,I asked,"Katiewhere is she, Mr. Lannion?"
nyp.33433074811203	Lost? ” “ Yes,was the brief answer.
nyp.33433074811203	Malvina? ” I questioned with white lips. nyp.33433074811203 Mr. Lannion, then? ” suggested poor Delcie, frightened.
nyp.33433074811203	Mr. Lannion?
nyp.33433074811203	My! ” he exclaimed, “ do you really?
nyp.33433074811203	Nonie's awful smart,Cooper would say,"an?
nyp.33433074811203	Now what on earth does he want? ” and he went forward to meet his factotum. nyp.33433074811203 Oh, Delcie, ” I wailed,"what shall I do what shall I do?
nyp.33433074811203	Perhaps you'll go for a little walk with me this afternoon — say at five o'clock? nyp.33433074811203 Pretty puppies, ai n't they? ” said Cooper ad- miringly.
nyp.33433074811203	Punish you? ” I exclaimed. nyp.33433074811203 Rodgers, ” he said, and although he spoke quietly there was menace in his voice,"have you been trying to visit the dogs again?"
nyp.33433074811203	Say, what do you s'pose? nyp.33433074811203 Say, you, Tom, ” the child continued as he drew near,"you got me a jolly big rating, do you know it?""
nyp.33433074811203	So Tom believes in lycanthropy, does he?
nyp.33433074811203	That you wished to live with me, you would say?
nyp.33433074811203	What could I buy with a broken sixpence? nyp.33433074811203 What have you been up to, Hope? ” asked the younger boys in an excited whisper, draping their sea- weed across my shoulders.
nyp.33433074811203	Wo n't she promenade in the garden a little? nyp.33433074811203 Yah! ” he exclaimed, in the tone of a contemptu- ously belligerent small boy,"why did n't you bite my head off, say?
nyp.33433074811203	You will not put it on?
nyp.33433074811203	You'll eat'em, wo n't you, Aimée? ” he asked in coaxing tones. nyp.33433074811203 Your maid? ” said Mr. Lannion hastily.
nyp.33433074811203	Your walk did not tire you, Miss Darling? ”No,"I said gently,"not at all.
nyp.33433074811203	'If I were to put my arms about its three tall spears and pull, what would follow?
nyp.33433074811203	* “ You are taking me home? ” I said.
nyp.33433074811203	156 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM “ What is this? ” he asked, glancing from the tray to me.
nyp.33433074811203	193 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM “ One slipper? ” I said carelessly.
nyp.33433074811203	29 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM"Are you even jealous of Old Serge?"
nyp.33433074811203	A gar- den without a sundial always seems to me like a person without a mind. ”"Do you want a sundial too? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811203	After that there would be no danger, but before?
nyp.33433074811203	An''twas only whin I was wellnigh dishtracted wi'keepin'you waitin'that I spied the bit whup stickin'out fra'beneath his ridin?
nyp.33433074811203	An'often we ai n't so well worth prayin'over, neither; no, sir, we ai n't. ” 143 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM “ What did Roddy do?"
nyp.33433074811203	An'whativer will Mr. Max say?
nyp.33433074811203	And at what time, Mr. Lannion?""
nyp.33433074811203	And even supposing that my own people believed me to have been drowned, why had not Loison and the crew of the schooner spoken?
nyp.33433074811203	And father will make your feet all right, wo n't you, father? ” Dr. Despard made no response.
nyp.33433074811203	And the boys — and Max?
nyp.33433074811203	And then? ” “ You see, ” drawled Cooper, “ I'd locked the stable door'fore I started in.
nyp.33433074811203	And why did he want to get rid of me this morn- ing?
nyp.33433074811203	And you shall be Miss Aimée Darling — while you are at Ornith Farm. ”"To everybody?"
nyp.33433074811203	And you will come, too, Dr. Despard?"
nyp.33433074811203	And your horses, too?"
nyp.33433074811203	And — and Katie?"
nyp.33433074811203	Any re- lation?"
nyp.33433074811203	Are we entering the harbor?
nyp.33433074811203	But I must control myself, or how might I hope to escape?
nyp.33433074811203	But did she gather golden- rod, and where is Pluto? ”"I keep him in the background, ” was the answer.
nyp.33433074811203	But if they do n't talk, then, I ask, what do they do? ” Aileen had no answer ready, and Mrs. Despard repeated solemnly, “ I ask, what do they do?
nyp.33433074811203	But if they do n't talk, then, I ask, what do they do? ” Aileen had no answer ready, and Mrs. Despard repeated solemnly, “ I ask, what do they do?
nyp.33433074811203	But in that case why cross the harmless whims of a mad person?"
nyp.33433074811203	But then, again, would it be wrong to act a lie in this case?
nyp.33433074811203	But what was safety of limb to a proud child whose vanity was hurt?
nyp.33433074811203	But what's the matter with the boy?
nyp.33433074811203	But, will you believe it?
nyp.33433074811203	Can you shoot?"
nyp.33433074811203	Captiv- ity and — and fear”—I brought out this last shame- ful word with a great effort—"are having a bad effect. ”"Fear?"
nyp.33433074811203	Could it be to find out if I were really Hope Carmichael?
nyp.33433074811203	Did I imagine it or was there an expression of relief upon his white mask- like face?
nyp.33433074811203	Did Mr. King expect it would be kept?
nyp.33433074811203	Did any one ever take such a big first step downward?
nyp.33433074811203	Do n't you like raspberries, child?"
nyp.33433074811203	Do you ever have the nightmare, Dotty dear? ” “ You're right, ” said the doctor, rising with an effort.
nyp.33433074811203	Do you mean that I'm to be kep ’ watch on- like this poor girl here? ” Her husband moved impatiently.
nyp.33433074811203	Do you think that they would refuse to give me this consolation, Mrs. Despard?
nyp.33433074811203	Do you understand me, Loison?
nyp.33433074811203	Doctors had made grave mistakes be- fore; why not in my case?
nyp.33433074811203	Does it ever seem strange to you, Mrs. Despard, that Mr. Lannion should wish to marry an insane girl? ” “ My goodness! ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074811203	Errol?-my maid??
nyp.33433074811203	Errol?-my maid??
nyp.33433074811203	Errol?-my maid??
nyp.33433074811203	First he tried the fence, an?
nyp.33433074811203	For who may foretell the judgments of God?
nyp.33433074811203	Had he told the truth in regard to the visitors?
nyp.33433074811203	Had her last thought been of me, her baby?
nyp.33433074811203	Had she seen the mermaids?
nyp.33433074811203	Had she stayed with them awhile before going to heaven?
nyp.33433074811203	Had the rescuers come?
nyp.33433074811203	Has n't hurt himself, has he?"
nyp.33433074811203	Have n't we been a long time on the way?
nyp.33433074811203	Have you ever been in one of them Baptist churches? ” I said that I had not.
nyp.33433074811203	He must have been a mighty funny minister — are you a Baptist, miss? ” I said that I was not.
nyp.33433074811203	He says you're made of muscle — is that so? ” And the child stared at me questioningly.
nyp.33433074811203	Heftast I sent we?
nyp.33433074811203	Hello, Dotty'— he rose and went to meet Dr. Despard- wie geht's? ” The doctor smiled pleasantly but did not speak.
nyp.33433074811203	Henrietta tells me that you have not walked about the grounds yet, is that true? ” 130 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM I nodded.
nyp.33433074811203	How can you sit by Miss Darling, on yon bench, and engage in the dignified conversation fitted for her tender ears at this hour of the morning?
nyp.33433074811203	How had my mother felt, I wondered, as she sank beneath the dark water?
nyp.33433074811203	How had she dared couple my name with Rollis Lannion's?
nyp.33433074811203	How long must I stand wait- ing for them to spring?
nyp.33433074811203	How might I get back to the house?
nyp.33433074811203	How might he be impressed?
nyp.33433074811203	How much should I give?"
nyp.33433074811203	How old was Proserpina when Pluto had carried her away from her mother, from the kind sea- nymphs, from the flowers and the sunshine?
nyp.33433074811203	How- ever, I was to be eight years old to- morrow, I said to myself, striving for consolation, and eight from twenty- one left- how much?
nyp.33433074811203	I am glad that it found its way into my hands. ” “ What? ” gasped Mrs. Despard, apparently un- willing to credit her ears.
nyp.33433074811203	I am very hungry. ” “ You want more than this? ” I inquired incredu- lously.
nyp.33433074811203	I am- in how deep mourning am I, Mr. Lannion?"
nyp.33433074811203	I do wish I knew what he meant! ” “ Why do you care, dear? ” said Aileen soothingly.
nyp.33433074811203	I fear you would never make a good sailor, even if you spent a year afloat. ” “ Why am I still here? ” I asked impetuously.
nyp.33433074811203	I get so scared for her sometimes ” “ Why? ” asked Dr. Despard, eying his son strangely.
nyp.33433074811203	I had given my word, but should it hold a prisoner such as I?
nyp.33433074811203	I had hoped that Cooper might be exag- gerating “ Cruelly?"
nyp.33433074811203	I hate to wear the same old dud week in week out, do n't you?
nyp.33433074811203	I hear it prowlin'in the hall now- oh, mother, mother, what shall we do?
nyp.33433074811203	I looked wistfully at the sea — was I wrong to love it when it had treated my parents so cruelly?
nyp.33433074811203	I obliged, yes, obliged her to leave the kitchen, and where do you suppose she went?
nyp.33433074811203	I repeat that, aware that they would not hurt you, I hoped they might frighten you back into your senses""My senses? ” I interrupted.
nyp.33433074811203	I thought of Mary Hamilton — was she, even now, seated in the prow?
nyp.33433074811203	I wonder what time it is?
nyp.33433074811203	I wonder why?
nyp.33433074811203	I would count- how much should I count?
nyp.33433074811203	I would sing very, very, softly- might I try?
nyp.33433074811203	I- I — “ You doubted my word, my son?"
nyp.33433074811203	If any unfortunate creature believed that you were her nearest of kin, would you refuse to go to her- just once?
nyp.33433074811203	Is he dead? ” 245 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM “ Yes,"was the answer.
nyp.33433074811203	Is he still busy with his friends? ” I spoke breathlessly.
nyp.33433074811203	Is it large or small? ”"I would n't worry about that now,"he said quickly, looking down at his note- book.
nyp.33433074811203	Is that the reason there is so little motion?"
nyp.33433074811203	Is that why you are here? ”"I came to be with you, ” he said quietly.
nyp.33433074811203	It seems that an old woman- “ Katie? ” I interrupted.
nyp.33433074811203	It's not fit to wear. ” “ Vulgar?"
nyp.33433074811203	It's real hot this morning, ai n't it?
nyp.33433074811203	Lannion and his man — the Injun- darky? ” Mrs. Stephens asked.
nyp.33433074811203	Light an elegant, ai n't it?
nyp.33433074811203	Look me in the eye this instant, do you hear me?
nyp.33433074811203	Lucas? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074811203	May I- please? ” He spoke pleadingly, humbly even.
nyp.33433074811203	My people — they are really well???
nyp.33433074811203	My people — they are really well???
nyp.33433074811203	My people — they are really well???
nyp.33433074811203	No?
nyp.33433074811203	Not too much ginger, no? ” I said what was quite true, that the little cake was delicious.
nyp.33433074811203	Of course if I could do anything for a poor suffering girl- still- yet- “ Katie? ” I questioned in faltering tones.
nyp.33433074811203	Of what was Aunt Caro thinking, to allow me to visit the home of this stranger?
nyp.33433074811203	Of what was he speaking?
nyp.33433074811203	Or should it be ten? ” I puckered my brows; I thought hard.
nyp.33433074811203	Or was it only that his acquaintance with Mr. Lannion having been longer, his suspicions were more keen?
nyp.33433074811203	Out- out- out, I say?"
nyp.33433074811203	Played with the boy a lot when he was here in the winter. ” “ Was?"
nyp.33433074811203	Please do n't go to sleep, Mr. King. ”"Why not? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074811203	Please take it away. ” “ Lawsy me! ” she ejaculated, “ where to?
nyp.33433074811203	Roddy, ” he turned abruptly to the bewildered child, “ get what Miss Darling asked for. ” “ A pint? ” demanded Roddy.
nyp.33433074811203	Rollis,"she turned to Mr. Lan- nion,"have you seen the child's hands?
nyp.33433074811203	Say, are you any relation to Grace Darling?
nyp.33433074811203	Say, guess what I'm going to name her? ” I shook my head and said I could not.
nyp.33433074811203	Shall I feed you?
nyp.33433074811203	Shall I turn your chair around, Aimée? ”'He spoke with tender concern.
nyp.33433074811203	She's just floating slumberward. ” “ She took what I sent?"
nyp.33433074811203	Should I read to him?
nyp.33433074811203	Should I send for Mr. Lan- nion and ask him to tell me plainly why we had been so long on the way?
nyp.33433074811203	Should I speak to her of the future joys in wait for us, upon my twenty- first birthday?
nyp.33433074811203	Should you like to go on deck for an hour?
nyp.33433074811203	Sure you're no relation? ” “ Quite sure,"I said.
nyp.33433074811203	The heat is much pleasanter; do n't you think so? ” But I was in no mood for discussing trivialities- for this light chit- chat.
nyp.33433074811203	The one liked a striped tiger- 144 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM mes 19-some- cat is Osirus, an't'other is Hermes Tris- some- thing"“ Trismegistus?"
nyp.33433074811203	The spray will make grand rain, wo n't it?
nyp.33433074811203	The truth is I was n't think- ing of what I was doing. ” “ Of what were you thinking, then?"
nyp.33433074811203	Then said hastily, fearing his reply, “ Did you tell Zayma never again to catch birds for her cat, Mr. Lannion- or mice?"
nyp.33433074811203	Then ” — Roddy spoke slowly and reflectively—“then she caught sight of me"“ Yes?"
nyp.33433074811203	Then, lowering his voice he repeated, questioningly,"Thieves?"!
nyp.33433074811203	There came a loud exclamation, followed by a schile Katie, he d my disarr listening inte dog?
nyp.33433074811203	They hear us now. ” “ Are there many tramps about here? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074811203	This conception was fantastic, even absurd — yet what other reason might there be?
nyp.33433074811203	To escape, to escape, but how?
nyp.33433074811203	To the south I saw land — then Loison's hand was upon my shoulder, and she drew me away in grave, though ent, disap Loison?
nyp.33433074811203	Tom says — Say, did you know Tom had gone away?"
nyp.33433074811203	Up to the third story, if you please l What for?
nyp.33433074811203	Was it man, or wolf?
nyp.33433074811203	Was the plant enchanted?
nyp.33433074811203	Was the sound coming nearer?
nyp.33433074811203	Well, do you like the snap, child?
nyp.33433074811203	Well, what do you s'pose happened when Mr. King was immersin'that old sinner?"
nyp.33433074811203	Were there tears in her bright dark eyes?
nyp.33433074811203	What did Mr. King say? ”"About what?
nyp.33433074811203	What did Mr. King say? ”"About what?
nyp.33433074811203	What do you say??
nyp.33433074811203	What do you say??
nyp.33433074811203	What does Tom — the idiot- believe in?
nyp.33433074811203	What if Cooper had been mistaken- what if-?
nyp.33433074811203	What if I slept too long?
nyp.33433074811203	What if it fell and betrayed me?
nyp.33433074811203	What if your threat be disregarded?"
nyp.33433074811203	What is that I hear?''
nyp.33433074811203	What is the matter with the little chap 2"Do they come here often? ” I persisted.
nyp.33433074811203	What is the matter?
nyp.33433074811203	What is the name of the dead girl, Mr. Lannion?"
nyp.33433074811203	What task had been set Jasper?
nyp.33433074811203	What's lie- what- do- you- call- it?
nyp.33433074811203	When I was in the ministry,'he says,'I tried to pay out an old cuss who made his daughter's life a hell on earth,'says he,'an'what come of it?
nyp.33433074811203	When is Aunt Caro coming?
nyp.33433074811203	When is a door like dear Lady Disdain?"
nyp.33433074811203	Where is your son?
nyp.33433074811203	Where was Hermes?
nyp.33433074811203	Where was my dog?
nyp.33433074811203	Who is the drowned girl of whom you speak so — so curiously? ”"I am glad that you have to ask, ” he said quietly.
nyp.33433074811203	Who was I that I should cry out against my burden of sorrow, when He bore the burden of all the sorrows of mankind?
nyp.33433074811203	Who was the drowned girl of whom Mr. Lannion spoke?
nyp.33433074811203	Why are you waking Miss Darling, Rollis? ”"Dray has come, ” was the reply.
nyp.33433074811203	Why do n't I have even a letter from home?"
nyp.33433074811203	Why do you fear for me?"
nyp.33433074811203	Why does no one come to me?
nyp.33433074811203	Why had the sunlight dazzled me?
nyp.33433074811203	Why not leap the fence and make a dash for freedom?
nyp.33433074811203	Why was it more important to Katie because it happened to be a six- pence, I wondered?
nyp.33433074811203	Why was it that read- ing was such an easy matter, and arithmetic an im- possibility?
nyp.33433074811203	Why, I asked myself over and over again, did not Loison and the sailors who knew of my whereabouts, hasten to tell of their knowledge?
nyp.33433074811203	Will you come???
nyp.33433074811203	Will you come???
nyp.33433074811203	Will you come???
nyp.33433074811203	Wo n't you say something kind to me?"
nyp.33433074811203	Wo n't you try to give me a little affection in return?"
nyp.33433074811203	Would Loison prefer to have it in bills or in silver?
nyp.33433074811203	Would a boy of his really fine nature wish wrong to be done that he might escape physical pain?
nyp.33433074811203	Would he think me a chatter- box?
nyp.33433074811203	Would they tear me, these wild beasts?
nyp.33433074811203	Yes, they've come to stay ” in answer to my look of inquiry—“they're here often. ” “ What is the'outfit? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074811203	Yes?
nyp.33433074811203	Yes? ” as he smiled reassuringly, while he swept the money back into his pockets- not altogether unwillingly, I thought.
nyp.33433074811203	You are the stingiest man I ever met, Mr. Lannion. ”"I? ” he exclaimed, but still speaking very softly.
nyp.33433074811203	You can go as far as the home field, I trust, Dr. Despard? ”"Oh, yes,"was the slow and unwilling reply,"if you really want to walk, Miss Darling.
nyp.33433074811203	You forget that pomegranates do not grow in my garden. ”"Pomegranates? ” said Mr. King inquiringly, as I accepted the box.
nyp.33433074811203	You go clean- ” “ There, there,"Cooper interrupted;"you've got to come up, so where's the use fightin'?
nyp.33433074811203	You go, and go quickly, please. ”"My dear Rollis,"remonstrated Mr. King in deeply shocked tones,"what are you thinking of?
nyp.33433074811203	You just come from there, Lu? ” “ Yes, ” said the doctor briefly.
nyp.33433074811203	You prefer not?

nyp.33433074811203	You wo n't mind coming along, will you, Rollis? ” turning to his friend.
nyp.33433074811203	You'll mind, thin, the Serpent an'poor witless Eve?
nyp.33433074811203	You'll take care of her, Pop, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074811203	You've never been as far as the woods yet, have you?
nyp.33433074811203	ejaculated Aunt Caro, looking fright- ened, “ what has happened, Katie?"
nyp.33433074811203	wailed the child, in an agony of alarm,"what are you thinkin'of?
nyp.33433074811203	what did he say that for?
nyp.33433074811203	“ A fountain playing, vases of flowers- goldfish, perhaps? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433074811203	“ A wreath? ” he demanded eagerly.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Ah! ” I cried, “ how could you have the heart?
nyp.33433074811203	“ All well at the farm? ” The man did not speak but grunted an affirmative.
nyp.33433074811203	“ And I am the Queen of Siam? ” I asked, when I thanked him and sat down.
nyp.33433074811203	“ And Uncle Rollis says that he's had nothing to eat since breakfast, and will you please come to the library and make him a cup of tea?
nyp.33433074811203	“ And how many times have I told you not to bounce in here without knocking? ”"Never once!"
nyp.33433074811203	“ And what are you making, Aimée? ” He watched my busy fingers curiously.
nyp.33433074811203	“ And you helped him down?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ And you're going to be mean enough to tell? ” shrieked Roddy.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Are you alone in the house?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Are you never coming, child? ” cried Mr. Lan- nion, tapping imperiously, and he entered.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Are you taking me home? ” I asked, and I tried to sit up.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Are you too sleepy and is it too hot for us to go there now?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Are you two never coming?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ As hungry as forty bears?
nyp.33433074811203	“ As hungry as what? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Ashtie?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Avenge him?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Boston, Loison? ” I asked, pointing landward, as she led me back to my berth.
nyp.33433074811203	“ But you hoped,"I said slowly, “ that I might meet them and be badly fright- ened? ” “ Not badly,"he said composedly.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Cheap finery? ” and I saw that he was really distressed.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Come, Sol, old man, ” he drawled, as Solomon slowly closed the gate behind us, “ do n't be too long, 79 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM will you?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Cruelly? ” His tone was smoothly ironic.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Delcie may go to town to- morrow, Mr. Lannion? ” I spoke very gently.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Did they come on board? ”"No, they were not in Boston.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Do n't injure your- self. ” “ Myself? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Do they search for me still? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Do you need fierce dogs for protection, Mr. Lannion? ” “ Ķes,"was the brief answer.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Do you understand how much I wish to thank you, Loison? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Does it smart? ” he asked presently, in the tone of an overanxious nurse to a favorite child.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Does n't your luncheon please you — or was the walk too fatiguing???
nyp.33433074811203	“ Does n't your luncheon please you — or was the walk too fatiguing???
nyp.33433074811203	“ Does n't your luncheon please you — or was the walk too fatiguing???
nyp.33433074811203	“ Five dollars, ten- how much?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Have you ever seen them before?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Have you forgotten my name, Mr. Lannion?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ How did you know that I was here?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ I thought you said that you had told her? ” said Mr. Lannion.
nyp.33433074811203	“ In that case why wish to give her pleasure? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Is Roddy in trouble?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Is n't he funny?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Is that Mrs. Stephens?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ It's probably nothing interesting. ” “ Why do I care?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Jamie's wreath? ” I questioned eagerly.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Loison,"I whispered, “ why do you do this?
nyp.33433074811203	“ May I sit down? ” he asked, as I gave him no greeting I shook my head.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Morning? ” I exclaimed, as I moved to the bench and sat down to wait for my shoes.
nyp.33433074811203	“ My dear child, what are you thinking of?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Oh, go quickly, ” I commanded, stamping my foot, “ or you will be too late! ” “ Will you give me an hour- if? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Or will the awn- ings be sufficient?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Outfit? ” repeated Mrs. Despard.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Puppies?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Say, you two, ” he cried, the moment he caught sight of us, “ will you come on down to the stables?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Shall I tell you a story, a fairy story?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Shall we arrive in a few hours?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ She does n't sing,"was the quick response, “ do you, Aimée? ” turning to me.
nyp.33433074811203	“ She has injured herself?!
nyp.33433074811203	“ She is in there? ” He looked at me strangely, but did not answer at once.
nyp.33433074811203	“ So you want the garden beautified, do you? ” he said, smiling up at me.
nyp.33433074811203	“ That bill says you're held for money — and he's a rich man. ”"You wo n't give me up?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ That you, Jasper? ” as the man approached.
nyp.33433074811203	“ The Grace Darling! ” he announced, with a joyous giggle,"after both of you- grand, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ The mare?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ The path is good enough for Malvina and me — isn't it, Mally, you old goose???
nyp.33433074811203	“ The path is good enough for Malvina and me — isn't it, Mally, you old goose???
nyp.33433074811203	“ The path is good enough for Malvina and me — isn't it, Mally, you old goose???
nyp.33433074811203	“ The storm that fol- lowed your arrival — you recollect?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Then Mr. Lannion does whip him cruelly? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Then why not ask Dr. Despard? ” I very natu- rally demanded.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Then you will let me in? ” cried Mr. Lannion.
nyp.33433074811203	“ They are a handsome race. ” “ An'it's han’some, is it?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Walk- in stockings?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Was a good sort?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Well, well, what for? ” demanded Mrs. Despard.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What about going on deck? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What about your luncheon?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What brings you here at this hour?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ What can I do for you? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What did this man look like, Katie? ” he asked pleasantly, in his kind voice.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What do you mean, anyway?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ What do you think it is?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What does he mean, Mr. Lannion? ” “ Great Danes,"my host explained.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What does this mean? ” demanded Mr. Lannion sharply.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What harm would it do me to see these people that I believe to be my own people?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What has that to do with it?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ What have I done? ” cried Mrs. Despard.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What is the matter with them? ” he asked quickly, in evident surprise.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What kind do you want- Aimée? ” he asked quietly.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What of that?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ What will Miss Darling think of you, I'd like to know?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What! ” I exclaimed,"you seek to reason with a mad girl?
nyp.33433074811203	“ What's she crying for? ” he asked, in low, eager tones.
nyp.33433074811203	“ What's up?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ What, a difficulty already?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Whatever is it, my lam'? ” asked Katie, scanning with eager curiosity the folded paper in my small palm.
nyp.33433074811203	“ When is a door not a door?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Where are you going, dearie? ” she asked as she caught sight of me.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Where have you been? ” his mother asked.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Where is Mr. King? ” I asked, as I sat down beside her.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Where is he now?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Where is the other? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Who, Roddy? ” said Mr. Lannion, looking at me with lazy content.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why did you slight me, Hope? ” I smiled and blushed.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why did you think I was?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why do n't you try bribery, Aimée? ” he sug- gested softly.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why not? ” he asked in surprise.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why weep ye by the tide, ladye? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why, Katie, you told him everything?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Why, Roddy, ” he said with playful tenderness, “ do you want your old father to make a baby of you again?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Will you sing for me now?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Will you take me to see your garden, Mr. Lannion?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Will you try it? ” I thought he felt hurt, and not wishing to be un- gracious, I accepted his suggestion.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Wo n't you please tell me your name?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Wo n't you sit on the bench for a little?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Would five dollars be right, do you think?
nyp.33433074811203	“ Yes, ” I urged, “ yes; and how did it end?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ Yes?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You are a doctor? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074811203	“ You are not thinking of letting him off? ” I in- 157 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM quired.
nyp.33433074811203	“ You behaved awful bad, Ashtie, did n't you?
nyp.33433074811203	“ You do not object? ” I spoke very ceremoniously.
nyp.33433074811203	“ You have killed her?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You knew that they were harmless?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You knew the dogs were loose?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You mind the day I had the gabbin'fit? ” always prefixed the story.
nyp.33433074811203	“ You remember what I told you I would do, if you disobeyed me? ” Mr. Lannion asked.
nyp.33433074811203	“ You were talking for effect — as usual. ”"For effect — what effect?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You will share with me?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You will soon regain your strength. ”"Drugs?"
nyp.33433074811203	“ You would n't have hurt her a purpose, would you, Ashtie, ol girl? ” The mare turned her beautiful head and looked at him with affection.
nyp.33433074811203	“ Young? ” said Mr. King, removing his hat and e 164 THE PRISONER OF ORNITH FARM passing a hand across his bald head.

njp.32101068171352	Can you swear that you do not know who killed your husband? ” “ I was on my oath at the inquest, I tell you,cried the woman, passionately.
njp.32101068171352	Come now, Mrs Basket, you have no ground for making such a statement. ” “ Oh, ’ aven't I? ” cried Mrs Basket, indignantly. njp.32101068171352 Could a woman have struck such a blow?"
njp.32101068171352	Do you mean to say she is mad? ”Doctor, I says nothing, being above scandal.
njp.32101068171352	I can understand that as applying to a doctor like myself, M. Zirknitz, but to you- how does it apply to you? njp.32101068171352 Is it necessary for me to inform you? ” questioned Ellis, with icy contempt.
njp.32101068171352	Is that a remarkable circumstance? ” asked Cass, drily. njp.32101068171352 On whose authority?
njp.32101068171352	Who is your husband? ” stammered Ellis, his wits not quite under control. njp.32101068171352 You have known Mrs Moxton and her sister for some time? ” “ For four years, more or less.

njp.32101068171352	'Ow then does he earn his money?

njp.32101068171352	Ah, scélérat! ” “ Busham? ” “ Ah, yes, that is the name.
njp.32101068171352	Aha, monsieur, you think I kill Edgar, do you not?
njp.32101068171352	All the time I was at Myrtle Villa I saw no one but my husband. ” “ Did you know any of his friends abroad? ” “ No.

njp.32101068171352	And on what grounds?"
njp.32101068171352	And what did you wish to zee me about? ” “ Mrs Moxton.
njp.32101068171352	And what has that to do with the murder? ” “ Bob!

njp.32101068171352	And who is this gentleman?"

njp.32101068171352	And you, Miss Gordon? ” “ I, ” said Janet, simply, “ assumed my sister's character and ran round to call you to see the corpse.
njp.32101068171352	And your frend? ” “ Dr Ellis, ” said Cass;"a well- known medical man, who has written a standard work on ‘ Diseases of the Eye.

njp.32101068171352	But I shall see Zirknitz first. ” “ What for?"
njp.32101068171352	But I slapped his face for him,"said Polly, complacently, “ that I did. ” “ Mrs Moxton met her husband here? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068171352	But do you know her well enough to risk making her your wife? ”"I did n't say that I intended to ask her to marry me."
njp.32101068171352	But do you think he is speaking the truth? ” in The Crimson Cryptogram “ Yes.
njp.32101068171352	But if she is completely in the dark about the matter, why does she tell falsehoods?
njp.32101068171352	But is it not curious, Janet?
njp.32101068171352	But she wo n't tell it to you. ” “ Why not? ” asked Ellis, angrily.
njp.32101068171352	But what good will that do? ”"I want to know how the rooms are furnished.
njp.32101068171352	But would he do so?
njp.32101068171352	But your reason? ” “ I want to learn all I can about Moxton.
njp.32101068171352	By the way, I asked Schwartz about the Gordon sisters. ” 100 A Strange Denial “ He knows both, I suppose? ”.
njp.32101068171352	Can I offer you any refreshment- No?
njp.32101068171352	Captain Garret, I hope I see you well? ” The German was a fat, fair man, quiet in looks and dress, and with a somewhat careworn face.
njp.32101068171352	Could Janet Gordon be the guilty person?
njp.32101068171352	Could it be possible that the German was lying; that Janet Gordon had seen him, and had confessed what she knew of the crime?
njp.32101068171352	Could you meet me here at three o'clock, doctor?"
njp.32101068171352	Did you not know?
njp.32101068171352	Do so by leaving this crime to be punished by Heaven. ” “ But your smirched name? ”.
njp.32101068171352	Do you know him? ”"Not personally.
njp.32101068171352	Do you not remember how he called me Laura when you met him here? ” “ I remember,"replied Ellis, drily.
njp.32101068171352	Do you re- member my expressed wishes, Harry, on the night 253 The Crimson Cryptogram Moxton was killed?
njp.32101068171352	Do you see?
njp.32101068171352	Do you think you can cure her? ” “ I must make an examination first.
njp.32101068171352	Dr Ellis is away? ” “ Just went out ten minutes ago to see a patient.
njp.32101068171352	Eh, yes, I will see that she gets the money of that poor Edgar. ”"So that you may get a share of it, I suppose? ” said Ellis, drily.
njp.32101068171352	For if_"“ Monsieur Zirknitz, ” said Ellis, cutting short this speech,“how came it that your name was indicated on the dead man's arm?
njp.32101068171352	For information which we know already? ” Busham started from his seat in nervous haste.
njp.32101068171352	For instance, why will you not tell me about Zirknitz?"

njp.32101068171352	Has Zirknitz ever done anything for which he is wanted by the police?"
njp.32101068171352	Have I your consent, ma chère Laura? ” “ Tell everything you know,"cried Mrs Moxton, with a frown.
njp.32101068171352	Have you his address? ” “ I heard it from Edgar.
njp.32101068171352	Have you no companion? ” “ Schwartz and myself,"put in Garret.
njp.32101068171352	He consented, and we have been together ever since. ” The Crimson Cryptogram “ Did Garret ever make any money?"
njp.32101068171352	He even mentioned the sums of money you have paid him for his information. ” “ What information? ” said Busham, fighting every inch.
njp.32101068171352	He may know where they are? ” “ If he does he will not tell. ” “ I'll see about that, Harry.
njp.32101068171352	He ran out of the station after Edgar, and I am certain followed to kill him. ” “ About what time was this? ” “ On eleven.
njp.32101068171352	He said that if I did not give him the music- hall and make it over legally to him, he would have Garret arrested. ” “ What did you do?
njp.32101068171352	How can he prove that?"
njp.32101068171352	How did it come about? ” “ To tell you that, doctor, I must relate a little of my own history, ” said Schwartz, reaching for the cigar- box.
njp.32101068171352	How did you answer the scoundrel? ” asked Ellis.
njp.32101068171352	How did you find this out? ”.
njp.32101068171352	How do you do, Miss Gordon, or Mrs Moxton — which? ”"I am Janet Gordon, Mr Busham!
njp.32101068171352	How do you know that the murderer took it? ” “ I only think so.
njp.32101068171352	How do you stand now? ” The widow let the gate click behind her, and walked up the path with a wrinkled brow, betoken- ing thought.
njp.32101068171352	How is Mrs Moxton? ” “ The true Mrs Moxton is quite well. ” Busham's naturally pale face became of a 194 Busham at Bay greenish hue.
njp.32101068171352	How should I know?
njp.32101068171352	How was that? ” “ He knew her in Germany, or Austria, or some- where."
njp.32101068171352	How, then, did you recognise me? ”.
njp.32101068171352	Hullo, what's this? ” “ This ” was a novel of Catulle Mendes, which had a name scribbled in pencil on the outside.
njp.32101068171352	I am nearly worried out of my life by this — this murder. ”"Or by Mrs Moxton- have you made any discoveries? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068171352	I believe he killed Moxton on his own hook. ” “ He denies that he was at Dukesfield on that night. ” “ Denies it?
njp.32101068171352	I come to a lunatic asylum?"
njp.32101068171352	I did hear the clock of the station strike when I was enraged with Edgar. ” “ And Moxton was drunk? ” inquired Ellis, anxiously.
njp.32101068171352	I do not like such men. ” 94 · The Austrian “ You disliked him? ” “ No.
njp.32101068171352	I followed, calling out: ‘ Edgar, Edgar, what is the matter?'
njp.32101068171352	I held the knife above my head, as I was afraid of hurting him with it. ” “ Why did you not drop it? ” asked Ellis.
njp.32101068171352	I was glad that I returned before Miss Gordon went away. ” 141 The Crimson Cryptogram “ Why do you say that? ” asked Ellis.
njp.32101068171352	I will give you back the document to- morrow, What time do you wish me to call? ” “ About eleven o'clock.
njp.32101068171352	I wonder who killed him? ” “ That is what I and many other people would like to know,"said Ellis, drily.
njp.32101068171352	I wonder who she is? ” “ I know, Harry.
njp.32101068171352	I wrote that note asking you to call. ” “ You?
njp.32101068171352	If needs be I can protect myself should the occasion arise. ” “ By denouncing someone else? ” Mrs Moxton turned on Ellis with a frown.
njp.32101068171352	If she inspired the murder, why does she not run away? ” “ Because she is fighting for her fortune, old boy."
njp.32101068171352	If so, what was Zirknitz's motive for committing the crime?
njp.32101068171352	If you wish to know of Mrs Moxton zee Zirknitz. ” “ Will he know? ” “ I zink zo.
njp.32101068171352	Is dat zo? ” “ It is about Moxton's murder. ” “ Vell, vell, what apout ze murder? ” queried Schwartz, impatiently.

njp.32101068171352	Is it a word? ” “ I do n't think so.

njp.32101068171352	Is that true?"
njp.32101068171352	Is the gentleman dead, doctor?"
njp.32101068171352	Is there any need to ask me that question? ” “ Why?
njp.32101068171352	Is there any need to ask me that question? ” “ Why?
njp.32101068171352	It is troublesome to do that. ” “ Did you visit him at Dukesfield? ” “ I did not.
njp.32101068171352	It's that'orrid murder, eh? ” “ What murder? ” “ Why, the Dukesfield murder, silly!

njp.32101068171352	Moxton was drunk, so I fancied he might make trouble. ” “ Then you saw Moxton on that night? ” “ Oh, most certainly!
njp.32101068171352	Moxton was stabbed by a man. ” 144 What Mrs Amber knew “ What man?"

njp.32101068171352	Mrs Moxton"-Ellis rose and bent over her with great earnestness—"why will you not be frank with me?
njp.32101068171352	My business is with Dr Ellis, and possibly with Miss Gordon. ”"Have you come to confess? ” asked Janet, quietly.
njp.32101068171352	My good doctor, have you a policeman without for my arrest?
njp.32101068171352	My sister, do you desire me to speak more?
njp.32101068171352	No?
njp.32101068171352	Now, I believe that he came to see me about the will, and I am vexed at not having admitted him. ” “ Why not call on him?
njp.32101068171352	Now, what do you say? ”.
njp.32101068171352	Of what do you accuse me? ” “ All in good time, dear lady, ” said Busham, harshly.
njp.32101068171352	Oh, Mr Moxton is making for the grave- yard at racing speed! ” “ Why do n't you warn him?"
njp.32101068171352	Only by a threat against himself could I keep him in hand. ” “ What do you think he will do? ” “ Ah!
njp.32101068171352	She is not a saint by any manner of means,—but a sinner?
njp.32101068171352	She is the dearest and most excellent sister in the world. ” “ Are you the best brother to her? ” “ I?

njp.32101068171352	So Monsieur Zirknitz saw me?
njp.32101068171352	So all through these terrible months you have been fighting on your sister's behalf?
njp.32101068171352	So the tragedy happened at last? ”"It did, and on that night, ” answered Janet, much agitated.
njp.32101068171352	Speak out, ca n't you? ”"Softly, Dr Ellis, softly, all in good time.
njp.32101068171352	Tell me, why did you keep silent about this young man? ” “ Because of the blood marks on the arm of Edgar."
njp.32101068171352	The Austrian “ Who do you think murdered Moxton? ” he asked, resolved to startle the man into a confes- sion.

njp.32101068171352	Then I saw, all at once, a man on the other side of the gate. ” “ Could you describe his looks? ” asked Ellis, eagerly.
njp.32101068171352	Then I shall astonish Papa Schwartz and my father when they come home. ” “ I suppose they will have no objection?"
njp.32101068171352	Then Laura will in- herit all Moxton's wealth? ” “ Undoubtedly, as soon as she can claim it, with- out risking any danger from Busham.
njp.32101068171352	Then you met Schwartz, I suppose?"
njp.32101068171352	Vell, and why do you gome to me, doctor? ” “ I have been told that you are an old friend of Mrs Moxton and Miss Gordon. ” “ Zo!
njp.32101068171352	Was it not strange?
njp.32101068171352	Was she a music- hall singer? ” “ Not she,"replied Polly, disdainfully.
njp.32101068171352	Was she born blind? ”"No,"interposed Garret.
njp.32101068171352	Was the man about to confess to his crime?
njp.32101068171352	We had a tiff last time we met here, eh?
njp.32101068171352	Well, Mr Drake, what is to be done?"
njp.32101068171352	Well, Mrs Moxton, what did your husband do when you came up to him? ” “ He seized me by the throat, ” said the widow, hysterically.

njp.32101068171352	Would you mind? ” “ I'll stay,"replied the doctor, briefly, and assisted the others to lift the body.

njp.32101068171352	You will have it? ” cried Ellis, angrily, Busham flung himself out of his chair, and shot up one of the dirty windows.
njp.32101068171352	You will when I explain. ” “ Will you ever explain? ” « Yes!
njp.32101068171352	You'll both have drinks, I s'pose? ”"No, thank you, Miss Horley.
njp.32101068171352	Your story is not known here?"

njp.32101068171352	“ And how was the forgery discovered?"

njp.32101068171352	“ Are you sure you did not find it there on the previous night?"

njp.32101068171352	“ Did Busham see it committed?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Did Mrs Moxton come to see her? ”.
njp.32101068171352	“ Did he carry money in it? ” “ Yes, when he had any."
njp.32101068171352	“ Did he drink much? ” “ Yes, he drank a great deal of brandy, and was very morose when intoxicated.

njp.32101068171352	“ Did you come out at once, ma’am? ” “ No! ” replied Mrs Moxton, with some hesita- tion.
njp.32101068171352	“ Did you not see her daily? ” Mrs Amber glanced round apprehensively.
njp.32101068171352	“ Did you read the will? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068171352	“ Did you see him, doctor? ” “ No, he refused to see me, being engaged with Garret.
njp.32101068171352	“ Did your husband treat you cruelly? ” “ He neglected me and spoke harshly to me, but he never struck me."

njp.32101068171352	“ Do you know her, doctor?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Do you know him? ” “ Ach, I knows him.
njp.32101068171352	“ Do you know that place?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Do you think a man did it?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Do you think there are three names here, or only two? ”"I ca n't say.
njp.32101068171352	“ Do you wish to see me with a view to becoming a lodger? ” “ No, madam.
njp.32101068171352	“ Does Moxton ill- treat her? ” “'Eaven only knows what he do do, doctor.
njp.32101068171352	“ Eb?
njp.32101068171352	“ For what reason?
njp.32101068171352	“ For what?
njp.32101068171352	“ Had you the carving- knife?
njp.32101068171352	“ Has she a sister? ” he asked.
njp.32101068171352	“ Has she not seen you lately? ” “ Not, not des many veeks.
njp.32101068171352	“ Have n't you seen any likely patient? ” he asked, in his most sympathetic manner.
njp.32101068171352	“ Have you any reason to think that a woman killed him? ” he asked sharply.
njp.32101068171352	“ Have you found the will, doctor?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Have you repented of what you said to me the other day?
njp.32101068171352	“ Have you seen the policeman?"
njp.32101068171352	“ He accuses Janet Gordon of the crime? ” “ Why should he?
njp.32101068171352	“ He accuses Janet Gordon of the crime? ” “ Why should he?
njp.32101068171352	“ He might have found out the truth if he'd only gone to Dukesfield on that night as he intended. ” “ Did he go there?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Hilda Garret, ” said Ellis, recalling the name; “ is she blind?"
njp.32101068171352	“ How did you get on with Zirknitz? ” he asked, as they hailed a hansom.
njp.32101068171352	“ How did you know he was wounded, seeing that the wound was in his back?"
njp.32101068171352	“ How did you recognise your husband in the dark? ”"I – I had a candle, ” she replied, in a low voice and with hesitation.
njp.32101068171352	“ How do I know who killed Mr Moxton?"
njp.32101068171352	“ How do you know it is dark?"
njp.32101068171352	“ How do you know she threw it away? ”.
njp.32101068171352	“ How do you know that I have a sister? ”"From the books in your house, some of which contain your name and that of your sister Janet.
njp.32101068171352	“ How do you know that the cypher contains the name of the criminal, Harry? ”"Because I can read the cypher,"was Cass's unexpected reply.
njp.32101068171352	“ How is it that you think him guiltless? ” he asked anxiously.
njp.32101068171352	“ How was he dressed? ” Zirknitz reflected.
njp.32101068171352	“ How would the murderer know that the knife was in the garden?
njp.32101068171352	“ I am safe from your violence I hope? ” he said, looking apprehensively at Ellis.
njp.32101068171352	“ I have called, M. Zirknitz, to inquire if you can inform me of the whereabouts of Mrs Moxton?"
njp.32101068171352	“ I have come into contact with them, ” said Ellis, with a slight smile, “ but what has that to do with this will?"
njp.32101068171352	“ I mean no female companion? ”"Janet Gordon comes to see me sometimes, ” said Hilda.
njp.32101068171352	“ I suppose you knew the Moxtons intimately? ” “ Very intimately.
njp.32101068171352	“ I wonder why Moxton went so regularly to that place? ” he said reflectively.
njp.32101068171352	“ I? ” he gasped.
njp.32101068171352	“ If you thought that your sister had killed Moxton, why did you not hide the carving- knife? ” “ How could I?
njp.32101068171352	“ If you thought that your sister had killed Moxton, why did you not hide the carving- knife? ” “ How could I?
njp.32101068171352	“ In Heaven's name why?
njp.32101068171352	“ Indeed, have she and her sister lived abroad? ” “ Yes, for a considerable time, I believe.
njp.32101068171352	“ Is Colonel Zirknitz alive?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Is it there now? ” “ No.
njp.32101068171352	“ Is the house lonely?".
njp.32101068171352	“ It is very good of you to think of helping me, ” she said abruptly, “ but why should you?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Janet Gordon? ” “ Oh, you know her, Mr Cass, do you? ” “ No, I do n't, but I have heard of her. ”.
njp.32101068171352	“ Janet Gordon? ” “ Oh, you know her, Mr Cass, do you? ” “ No, I do n't, but I have heard of her. ”.
njp.32101068171352	“ Left this house? ” said Ellis, astonished at this information.
njp.32101068171352	“ Moi, monsieur?
njp.32101068171352	“ Mr Cass, mine goot frend, vill you with me gome?
njp.32101068171352	“ Mrs Moxton earned her money by typewriting, did she not? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068171352	“ Mrs Moxton's mother married the father of Zirknitz, did she?
njp.32101068171352	“ Mrs Moxton?
njp.32101068171352	“ My dear doctor, do you know any- thing about drunken men?"
njp.32101068171352	“ No doubt, but will Rudolph do so?
njp.32101068171352	“ Not blood, then, Mrs Moxton? ” The widow rose with an agitated face, and, snatching up the will, thrust it into Busham's hand.
njp.32101068171352	“ Now, who is Rudolph Zirknitz?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Of course; you do n't intend to remain single all your days, do you?
njp.32101068171352	“ Oh, I know, I know. ” “ What the deuce do you know?
njp.32101068171352	“ Oh, so you knew the secret of the cryptographic signs, in spite of your denial? ”"I did!
njp.32101068171352	“ On account of the murder? ”.
njp.32101068171352	“ On that night were there any notes in the pocket- book?"
njp.32101068171352	“ On what grounds do you make such an accusation? ” “ Ah, I will not tell you that now,"replied Zirknitz, coolly.
njp.32101068171352	“ Perhaps you consider her guilty? ” “ No.
njp.32101068171352	“ Say rather for yours, Mrs Moxton. ” “ What do you mean? ” “ Hel hel that will take some time to explain.
njp.32101068171352	“ Shall I ever forget that horrible night?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Shall I ever sleep again?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Shall I fly or stay? ” he asked himself; then, bringing down his fist on the table, he cried: “ No, by Heaven!
njp.32101068171352	“ Shall we take the body into the house, sir?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Shut up in her room?"
njp.32101068171352	“ So Garret, through Hilda, has lived on your money all these years?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Tell me who murdered your husband? ” he whispered urgently.
njp.32101068171352	“ That he killed Edgar? ” asked Janet, breath- lessly.
njp.32101068171352	“ That seems strange, does it not?
njp.32101068171352	“ The carving- knife?"
njp.32101068171352	“ The confession of Busham? ” “ Ach, no; the confession of the man who murdered Moxton — my friend, Hilda's father, Captain Garret."
njp.32101068171352	“ The letters are the initials of a man's name. ” “ The murderer's name? ” “ I do n't say that, and yet he might be the criminal.
njp.32101068171352	“ The will of Edgar is in this packet. ” “ Where was it hidden, Mrs Moxton? ” “ You will never guess.
njp.32101068171352	“ Then how do you know it exists? ” “ Edgar told me of it, ” repeated Mrs Moxton.
njp.32101068171352	“ Then why did you not go to Dukesfield to help Mrs Moxton? ” “ Why should I? ” said Zirknitz, with a charm- ing smile.
njp.32101068171352	“ Then why did you not go to Dukesfield to help Mrs Moxton? ” “ Why should I? ” said Zirknitz, with a charm- ing smile.
njp.32101068171352	“ To the identity of the murderer? ” “ No, but a clue which may lead to his discovery.
njp.32101068171352	“ Visit Mr Busham? ” said Ellis, considerably astonished at this unusual proof of confidence.
njp.32101068171352	“ Was the man still at the gate after he struck the blow? ”"I do n't know.
njp.32101068171352	“ Well, Mr Busham, and what is your proposal? ” “ Let Mrs Moxton surrender all my uncle's pro- perty to me.
njp.32101068171352	“ Well? ” asked Ellis, impatiently.
njp.32101068171352	“ Were you at Myrtle Villa on the night of the murder? ”"No,"answered Zirknitz, coolly and promptly.
njp.32101068171352	“ What about Harley Street? ” “ That must wait, ” laughed Ellis;"and if it does not come I really do n't care.
njp.32101068171352	“ What about her father? ” Mrs Amber shrugged her shoulders and jingled her bracelets.
njp.32101068171352	“ What about the carving- knife? ” “ Oh, Edgar was killed with that, without doubt.
njp.32101068171352	“ What about this other sign?"
njp.32101068171352	“ What do these signs mean? ” he asked the policeman.
njp.32101068171352	“ What do they know of it?
njp.32101068171352	“ What do you know?"
njp.32101068171352	“ What do you mean by these questions? ” She turned again to the men and burst into furious speech.
njp.32101068171352	“ What do you mean with your'true Mrs Moxton?
njp.32101068171352	“ What do you mean? ”"Rumour says that if you did not murder Moxton yourself you know who did, and that you are shielding him. ” “ Him!
njp.32101068171352	“ What do you think of him?"
njp.32101068171352	“ What do you want me to do? ” he said sullenly.
njp.32101068171352	“ What does that mean?
njp.32101068171352	“ What information? ” repeated the lawyer.
njp.32101068171352	“ What is his name? ” “ Moxton!
njp.32101068171352	“ What is it?"
njp.32101068171352	“ What is not right, doctor? ” he asked anxiously.
njp.32101068171352	“ What is that? ” “ The cab- stand. ” “ The cab- stand!
njp.32101068171352	“ What is the matter, Mrs Moxton?
njp.32101068171352	“ What the deuce do you come here for?"
njp.32101068171352	“ What the deuce is the matter, Bob?
njp.32101068171352	“ What was the man like? ” asked Ellis, eagerly.
njp.32101068171352	“ What were your feelings towards him?"
njp.32101068171352	“ What?
njp.32101068171352	“ When did you hear of the murder? ” “ I saw it next day in the papers."
njp.32101068171352	“ Where did you get this? ” he asked Busham, sharply.
njp.32101068171352	“ Where did you meet him?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Where does Moxton go so regularly? ” “ Ah, Mr Cass, where indeed?
njp.32101068171352	“ Where does Moxton go so regularly? ” “ Ah, Mr Cass, where indeed?
njp.32101068171352	“ Where is your sister? ” he asked.
njp.32101068171352	“ Who do you think killed Moxton?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Who is Richard Busham?
njp.32101068171352	“ Who says this? ” “ Rudolph Zirknitz."
njp.32101068171352	“ Why did she marry Moxton? ” “ She was tired of poverty and work.
njp.32101068171352	“ Why did you lend him money? ”.
njp.32101068171352	“ Why do you tell me all this? ” he asked suspiciously.
njp.32101068171352	“ Why not? ” “ Because, like Zirknitz, she will not risk your indiscreet questions.
njp.32101068171352	“ Why should I deny it?
njp.32101068171352	“ Why should he have put a valuable document amongst his books, Mrs Moxton?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Why, that is the next suburb to Dukesfield. ” “ Oh, Schwartz lives in that quarter, does he? ” “ No!
njp.32101068171352	“ Will he dare to lay hands on you? ” “ Not on me, but on the will.
njp.32101068171352	“ Will you gome with me, doctor?
njp.32101068171352	“ Will you tell her also that he accuses Busham?"
njp.32101068171352	“ Yes, the same as you frightened the telegraph boy with? ” “ I had no carving- knife, ” returned Mrs Moxton, haughtily.
njp.32101068171352	“ Yet the name on the dead man's arm?"
njp.32101068171352	“ You are not angry? ” he asked, with eagerness.
njp.32101068171352	“ You are very fond of her, Herr Schwartz?"
njp.32101068171352	“ You can disprove those, can you not?"
njp.32101068171352	“ You dare to insinuate that I killed my cousin?"
njp.32101068171352	“ You have been in Myrtle Villa? ” said Ellis, astonished.
njp.32101068171352	“ You intend to confess, then?"
njp.32101068171352	“ You knew Moxton very well, I presume? ”"Oui da! ” Zirknitz shrugged his shoulders; “ but we were not friends.
njp.32101068171352	“ You say that you are innocent? ” said Ellis, scarcely believing his ears.
njp.32101068171352	“ You trust me still?
njp.32101068171352	“ Your pardon, sir, who are you? ” he demanded, with a kind of snarl in his voice.
njp.32101068171352	” “ How should I know? ” muttered Ellis, not yet recovered from his amazement.
njp.32101068171352	” “ Why, indeed? ” echoed Janet, who had been silent for some time; “ that is what we wish to find out.
njp.32101067708493	But why- why- why? asked the other. njp.32101067708493 John Dunning's Sons?"
njp.32101067708493	May I in- terrupt for a moment?' njp.32101067708493 Prosperous exceedingly,"is he?
njp.32101067708493	Were there any fallen trees to sit down upon?
njp.32101067708493	'"And have you been able to form any theory at all?"
njp.32101067708493	'"Did you suppose that the deceased would loiter about in the wet wood, in the mud and in the long grass in the wood, for two long hours?"
njp.32101067708493	'"Did your friend express any intention of lingering in the wood, or was there any reason why he should linger in the wood?"
njp.32101067708493	'"How long, now, would it take you to walk through the wood from end to end?"
njp.32101067708493	'"I believe it is a small wood — little more than a coppice?"
njp.32101067708493	'"I commit this man?"
njp.32101067708493	'"Not to my knowledge.11'"Was it a morning for lying down on the grass?"
njp.32101067708493	'"The body was then quite stiff and dead, you say?"
njp.32101067708493	'A bill?
njp.32101067708493	'Am I born to misfortune?
njp.32101067708493	'Am I looking worried?'
njp.32101067708493	'And do you regard this mode of money- making — I can not call it a profession — this mode — honourable — a thing to be proud of?'
njp.32101067708493	'And how are you going to pay that bill?
njp.32101067708493	'And how would you like just to have everything you want by merely calling for it?
njp.32101067708493	'And why not, sir — why not?
njp.32101067708493	'And you could not, I suppose?'
njp.32101067708493	'Are you quite sure?'
njp.32101067708493	'Are you sure of what you say?'
njp.32101067708493	'Can things unreal ever be delightful?'
njp.32101067708493	'Come for another speech, old man?'
njp.32101067708493	'Could n't I go on with the school?'
njp.32101067708493	'Could you, then, see through the wood?'
njp.32101067708493	'Disgraces?
njp.32101067708493	'Do n't they really suspect — any of them?'
njp.32101067708493	'Do n't you think your memory may be at fault?
njp.32101067708493	'Do the poor relations want money?'
njp.32101067708493	'Do you mean that I ought to worry about it?
njp.32101067708493	'Does it?'
njp.32101067708493	'Has he been living on the same diet as the Prodigal?'
njp.32101067708493	'Have you come to tell me of more family misfor- tunes?'
njp.32101067708493	'How about the colossal business?
njp.32101067708493	'How did that happen, I wonder?
njp.32101067708493	'How in the world did this picture come here?'
njp.32101067708493	'How the devil am I to understand if you wo n't explain?
njp.32101067708493	'In Sydney?
njp.32101067708493	'Is this what you brought me out to see?'
njp.32101067708493	'It seems hard, does n't it?
njp.32101067708493	'Langley?

njp.32101067708493	'No practice?'
njp.32101067708493	'Not a close dark wood, but light and open — just as at present?'
njp.32101067708493	'Oh, does he?
njp.32101067708493	'On that day what time was it when you arrived?'
njp.32101067708493	'Pardon me, sir, you have no locus standi?
njp.32101067708493	'Shall I go into the workhouse?'
njp.32101067708493	'Shall you continue your trade of deception and falsehood?'
njp.32101067708493	'Shucks and bean- pods?
njp.32101067708493	'Tell me, dear boy, what about those accumulations?
njp.32101067708493	'The more important point is — are you feeling worried?
njp.32101067708493	'Then, will you lend me a thousand pounds, Mr. Campaigne?
njp.32101067708493	'They wo n't look at it, eh?'
njp.32101067708493	'This?
njp.32101067708493	'To deceive the world?
njp.32101067708493	'We had better have them all.1'What are they?'
njp.32101067708493	'Well — but what would you buy?'
njp.32101067708493	'Well — is it the discovery of the poor relations?'
njp.32101067708493	'Well, these are virtues, are they not?'
njp.32101067708493	'Well, what shall you do?'
njp.32101067708493	'What do you think now?
njp.32101067708493	'What does she mean?
njp.32101067708493	'What has he to do with the property?'
njp.32101067708493	'What have you done, then?'
njp.32101067708493	'What have"my forefathers done?
njp.32101067708493	'What is it?'
njp.32101067708493	'What must have been the faith of a man who could so attribute his words?
njp.32101067708493	'What the devil does it matter which pocket held it?'
njp.32101067708493	'What would you do with money if you had it?'
njp.32101067708493	'Who are you, sir, I say, who come to my quiet office with this blackguard noise?
njp.32101067708493	'Who are you?
njp.32101067708493	'Why not?
njp.32101067708493	'Why not?
njp.32101067708493	'Why not?'
njp.32101067708493	'Why should I not read about these old things which are to me so new?

nyp.33433074968037	“ And nothing can part us? ” “ Nothing. ” “ In this whole world?"
nyp.33433074968037	“ And now? ” He raised his hand.
nyp.33433074968037	“ But Laura, Laura, how about Hector? ” asked Rob- ert, in mild remonstrance.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Could I not assist you in any way? ” suggested Rob- ert, as they sat together after luncheon in the smoking- room.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Do you remember the first time that we met, Miss McIntyre? ” he asked, standing on the rug, and looking 3.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Has your great Roman picture gone to London? ” “ I have not finished it yet. ” “ But I know that you are a quick worker.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Have you an order to see him in prison? ” “ Yes, but only for you and me. ” “ Then I shall reconsider my resolution about going out.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Have you heard anything of the case? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Have you heard from Hector? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433074968037	“ If he earns the money, he has a right to spend it as he likes. ” “ And how does he earn it?
nyp.33433074968037	“ Is it not hor- rible?
nyp.33433074968037	“ Is it not wonderful what money can do? ” Laura re- marked, as they knocked the snow from their shoes within the porch.
nyp.33433074968037	“ It is a little off the beaten track, is n't it? ” said he.
nyp.33433074968037	“ May I ask what he has done? ” “ I went up to him by appointment this morning.
nyp.33433074968037	“ May I write a check at once? ” said Raffles Haw.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Now, where would you like to smoke your cigar? ” y THE DOINGS OF RAFFLES HAW.
nyp.33433074968037	“ People have been burned for less, have they not? ” cried Raffles Haw, laughing heartily.
nyp.33433074968037	“ The Coroner: I understand that the cry of ‘ Cooee"was a common signal between you and your father?
nyp.33433074968037	“ The Coroner: What do you mean?
nyp.33433074968037	“ The effect is rather startling, is it not?
nyp.33433074968037	“ There are none. ” “ How do you know, then? ” “ The grass was growing under it.
nyp.33433074968037	“ We have had several warnings that an attempt might be made upon it. ” “ Your French gold? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Well, what do you think of him now? ” asked Rob- ert, as they watched his black figure against the white snow.
nyp.33433074968037	“ What did you go into the pool for? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074968037	“ What do you read? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074968037	“ What do you think of that? ” asked old McIntyre, triumphantly, as the load creaked past.
nyp.33433074968037	“ What do you think, Watson?
nyp.33433074968037	“ What were your orders? ” asked Robert of the car- In 1811.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Why can you not leave him alone, father? ” expos- tulated Robert.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Why did you pick him? ” THE RED- HEADED LEAGUE.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Why, father?
nyp.33433074968037	“ Why, where would you put it? ” “ Oh, they could run it along the line, and dump it anywhere.
nyp.33433074968037	“ Without a penny, indeed Do you think that you would dance attendance upon him if he were a poor man?
nyp.33433074968037	“ Would you put us on the footing of beggars?
nyp.33433074968037	“ You had my note? ” “ Yes, the lodge- keeper brought it up.
nyp.33433074968037	“ ‘ A dozen yards or so. ” “ ‘ And how far from the edge of the wood?'
nyp.33433074968037	“ ‘ Have you never heard of the League of the Red- headed Men? ” he asked, with his eyes open.
nyp.33433074968037	“ ‘ Never. ” “ ‘ Why, I wonder at that, for you are eligible yourself for one of the vacancies. ” “ And what are they worth?'
nyp.33433074968037	“ ‘ What would be the hours??
nyp.33433074968037	“ ‘ What would be the hours??
njp.32101066455518	And how did he get it put right?
njp.32101066455518	Are you tired?
njp.32101066455518	Do n't you know? ” Aimée exclaimed. njp.32101066455518 Do n't you remember, dear,"she asked soothingly,"that night you walked in your sleep?
njp.32101066455518	Do n't you understand? ” he returned irritably. njp.32101066455518 Do n't you want me to be cleared? ” he asked roughly.
njp.32101066455518	He was only saying nice things. ” Nice? ” asked the Celestial. njp.32101066455518 How do you know that?"
njp.32101066455518	I wonder,she said, “ if the dead know what happens to those they leave behind them? ” She hoped not in this case.
njp.32101066455518	Is it about Roger?
njp.32101066455518	Is she not afraid that something worse has happened at Aix than she has been informed of? ” Victoria asked herself. njp.32101066455518 Is something wrong? ” he asked.
njp.32101066455518	Nothing?
njp.32101066455518	Well then? ” he asked, wondering why she hesitated. njp.32101066455518 What mistake? ” asked Billy,"let's have it out plain. ” Aimée straightened her slip of a body.
njp.32101066455518	'Why! ” he ex- claimed,"where is my mother?"
njp.32101066455518	* And the check is in Strum's possession? ” “ So he informed me yesterday. ” “ How did he get it? ” the girl cried out.
njp.32101066455518	* And the check is in Strum's possession? ” “ So he informed me yesterday. ” “ How did he get it? ” the girl cried out.
njp.32101066455518	100 THE CHINESE PUZZLE 99 “ Do people who know too much about one ever die? ” Mrs. Melsham inquired.
njp.32101066455518	156 THE CHINESE PUZZLE"Is Mr. Marketel still with you? ” he inquired.
njp.32101066455518	176 THE CHINESE PUZZLE “ Why could n't the old man have said straight out if he wanted me? ” he asked.
njp.32101066455518	316 THE CHINESE PUZZLE “ Naomi dear, what is it?"
njp.32101066455518	80 THE CHINESE PUZZLE “ Who's coming now?"
njp.32101066455518	: “ Will that do? ” she said.
njp.32101066455518	Amabelle had been restless in just this way, and, after all, was it not a birth which was about to be accomplished?
njp.32101066455518	And if so why should the old man save the girl whom he hated?
njp.32101066455518	And now if this madman chose to go to the Andes, what earthly concern was it of his?
njp.32101066455518	And now, when the tables are turned? ” the girl went on.
njp.32101066455518	And what of my poor belongings? ” the old man asked.
njp.32101066455518	Any news? ” he said insistently, but in a low tone, to Paul.
njp.32101066455518	Are the spirits of evil angry?
njp.32101066455518	Are you perfectly certain you could manage alone?
njp.32101066455518	Are you strong enough to make allowance — an allowance large enough, ample enough, for a man soured by an unjust accusation?
njp.32101066455518	Besides — what so appro- priate as a rose — and a red rose?
njp.32101066455518	Besides, could she stop him?
njp.32101066455518	But could n't we go there by stages?
njp.32101066455518	But how?
njp.32101066455518	But how?
njp.32101066455518	But then, why does n't he move to help us? ” Paul's irritation was coming upper- most again.
njp.32101066455518	But,"put in Naomi eagerly, “ why not stay now and see him tomorrow?"
njp.32101066455518	Ca n't we buy Strum off? ” “ When you buy a man off today, you invite him to return for more tomorrow,"Naomi's mother answered.
njp.32101066455518	Can you sit there calmly and see an innocent man bear the culpability for another's crime? ” Vancrest leaned forward seriously.
njp.32101066455518	Carson,"he said—“I take it that you read the daily papers? ” Generally, ” admitted the little man mildly.
njp.32101066455518	Could n't you get round this old Chinaman? ” “ And tell you what he says, that you may tell Strum,"Naomi flashed out.
njp.32101066455518	Could she be?
njp.32101066455518	Could she cry to him to return?
njp.32101066455518	Could she kill her son's new interest?
njp.32101066455518	Could she turn Roger from this girl?
njp.32101066455518	Dear, ” he asked, “ are you too tired to listen to me?"
njp.32101066455518	Did I?
njp.32101066455518	Did antecedents weigh?
njp.32101066455518	Did anything but Roger's words—“Mother, I hope you will like her"?
njp.32101066455518	Did it mean that the scale had turned for Roger or against him?
njp.32101066455518	Did my mother ever pay you back that money? ” “ It was so long ago. ” “ Then she did not,"concluded the girl.
njp.32101066455518	Did n't those dear Ilfracombeites of ours call it doing time'?"
njp.32101066455518	Did the old Chinaman know as much as he pretended?
njp.32101066455518	Did you finish the roll? ” “ No, no — I think not."
njp.32101066455518	Do any of us here understand Chinese? ” There was a moment's deathly pause.
njp.32101066455518	Do n't you know him? ” Naomi shook her head.
njp.32101066455518	Do n't you think your habit of using big words about small occasions is a mistake?
njp.32101066455518	Do n't you, dear?"
njp.32101066455518	Do you hear? ” he went on—“I shall be cleared.
njp.32101066455518	Do you know where they are?"
njp.32101066455518	Do you mean to go abroad this year?
njp.32101066455518	Do you never take that into con- sideration?"
njp.32101066455518	Do you remember him?"
njp.32101066455518	Do you remember?
njp.32101066455518	Do you think I sha n't hasten it?
njp.32101066455518	Do you think I sha n't long for that day?
njp.32101066455518	Do you think your love will be strong enough to stand the daily round of your life with Roger?
njp.32101066455518	Editing a newspaper? ” Naomi ex- claimed.
njp.32101066455518	Enfin!—but it is small — will it make good pictures?
njp.32101066455518	For a whim- for a refinement of conscience?
njp.32101066455518	For me? ” said Naomi, as the old man came up.
njp.32101066455518	For the first time since my husband's death. ” “ Then it is to be a diplomatic party? ” “ Old Chi Lung is coming,"Lady de la Haye went on.
njp.32101066455518	Had Strum a hold over his Excellency the Marquis Chi Lung?
njp.32101066455518	Had his veiled allusions meant anything?
njp.32101066455518	Had she offered herself merely to be re- jected?
njp.32101066455518	Had the old Chinaman the faculty of picking out evil, of seeing through the wall of per- sonality, of watching the workings of a soul?
njp.32101066455518	Have you any of them now? ” “ No, no, no."
njp.32101066455518	Have you provoked them with your success, or is it I who have forgotten that I am of as little merit as a cracked vessel?
njp.32101066455518	Have you seen him? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	Have you seen this, Miss Melsham?
njp.32101066455518	Have you told Billy?"
njp.32101066455518	He can clear himself in a couple of minutes and what is two minutes'disagreeableness compared to my weeks of hell?
njp.32101066455518	He did not look up, though he answered, “ Yes, dear? ” Roger, do you still... love.
njp.32101066455518	He had settled himself in a big arm- chair, his hands were clasped, his eyes were blinking, but she felt that he was waiting, watching — for what?
njp.32101066455518	He has offered me two hundred a year to collect society news for him. ” “ And you'll take money from- him?"
njp.32101066455518	He took her hands, me?"
njp.32101066455518	He was beginning to wonder at her attitude- next he would- what would he think next?
njp.32101066455518	He will get up, saying he has to go to Chipley Magna on business. ”"Will he be driving himself? ” Littleport asked.
njp.32101066455518	His first notion was to say that of course she must be — were they not going to be married — some day — had they not been engaged for years?
njp.32101066455518	How did such a proposition as this strike Paul?
njp.32101066455518	How did you manage to corner Chi Lung after all? ” questioned Roger.
njp.32101066455518	How do you know that? ” Paul asked.
njp.32101066455518	How does Chi Lung happen to know a man like Strum?
njp.32101066455518	How many did you take? ” went on the relentless voice.
njp.32101066455518	How would this affect Roger's relations with Naomi Mel- sham?
njp.32101066455518	How would this news affect the secret she was carrying?
njp.32101066455518	I am very ignorant about them; will you teach me something? ” Lady de la Haye just glanced at Roger — and humor pre- dominated in her look.
njp.32101066455518	I ask you,"and now the low voice rang full with passion—“I ask you, who copied the memorandum?
njp.32101066455518	I must ask — what are you going to do? ” I am going to stay at Zouche with our good Roger for- is it not three days?
njp.32101066455518	I must ask — what are you going to do? ” I am going to stay at Zouche with our good Roger for- is it not three days?
njp.32101066455518	I must be permitted to put what questions I think fit to them. ” To the women as well as the men?"
njp.32101066455518	I shall not see you again until- “ Until when? ” thrust in Paul.
njp.32101066455518	I suppose that was a friend driving him?
njp.32101066455518	I suppose you can tell me no end. ” What about? ”"About prospecting in the Andes.
njp.32101066455518	I wanted to consult Naomi. ” And you have come to a decision together? ” asked Lady de la Haye.
njp.32101066455518	I was afraid “ Of what?"
njp.32101066455518	I'm not so sure. ” “ You do n't mean you really think Billy took that money?"
njp.32101066455518	If it's growing dismal here, why should we not try some other place?"
njp.32101066455518	If she were adroit enough could she not save herself both from him and from Harold Carson?
njp.32101066455518	In the meantime,"he went on, addressing Paul, “ will you sit in that chair there? ” indicating one a little apart,"and please do n't speak.
njp.32101066455518	In this instance did poverty weigh?
njp.32101066455518	Is it just nerves — or some latent sense of fair play to the being whose private concerns are about to be discussed?
njp.32101066455518	Is it possible that we are — how do you say it- in the pie?
njp.32101066455518	Is it that she thinks I shall make things unpleasant for her? ” The peculiar temptation of one who loves much swept down on Amabelle de la Haye.
njp.32101066455518	It is Mademoiselle? ” “ Yes, Monsieur,"the girl answered.
njp.32101066455518	It is so easy to say youth goes to youth; but does that make it any more pleasant for maturity left out in the cold?
njp.32101066455518	Just some rubbish — one always talks nonsense on such occasions, does n't one?"
njp.32101066455518	Must this go on? ” she was about to say to the detec- tive, when old Chi Lung bent forward and touched her arm.
njp.32101066455518	My boy is innocent, but who copied the memorandum?
njp.32101066455518	My dear, ” she gasped, and she clutched Naomi's arm, did you see that man?
njp.32101066455518	No, ” said Roger,"what was it Parisiana called it? ” “ The flowering time of the heart,"Naomi told him.
njp.32101066455518	Now do they? ” he concluded aggressively.
njp.32101066455518	Now, since you wo n't have Venice, where will you go? ” Anywhere, ” she replied promptly.
njp.32101066455518	Of course, ” she persisted, “ Melsham is not a common name, but the Mrs. Melsham at Nice — what was it about her?
njp.32101066455518	Or rather could there be but one ending?
njp.32101066455518	People are so narrow- minded still, are n't they? ” She paused and watched her daughter's face.
njp.32101066455518	Pray, why you? ” asked Roger lightly.
njp.32101066455518	Reflect, O wise among unwise, even as the old Buddha is exalted above her sex- on whose head is the obligation to repay?"
njp.32101066455518	Roger, have you forgotten that I am to count with you now? ” she demanded.
njp.32101066455518	Roger, ” she said, very deliberately, “ have you heard f- from your mother lately?
njp.32101066455518	She 308 THE CHINESE PUZZLE debtor, And if it please you, pay what you owe?
njp.32101066455518	She knew but the barest outline of her mother's end- would there be anything to conceal about it?
njp.32101066455518	She looked miserably before her- however was it all going to end?
njp.32101066455518	She saw — she really did see?
njp.32101066455518	Should she tell Roger herself, now- quickly- before the others came, before the old China- man denounced her?
njp.32101066455518	Stay — was everyone eager to help?
njp.32101066455518	Stay! ” repeated Roger, “ I ca n't let you go alone. ” “ Why not?
njp.32101066455518	Surely there his duty finished?
njp.32101066455518	Surely,"cried out Naomi, aghast, “ you are not going to suspect Armand next?"
njp.32101066455518	Surely,"cried out Paul, “ you can find something better?"
njp.32101066455518	THE CHINESE PUZZLE 157 “ Your son had no money difficulties?
njp.32101066455518	THE CHINESE PUZZLE 167 Does she love him so much that it hurts her like that?'
njp.32101066455518	THE CHINESE PUZZLE 23 was 66 “ What can you have to say?"
njp.32101066455518	THE CHINESE PUZZLE 243 Then, where did Billy get it?"
njp.32101066455518	THE CHINESE PUZZLE 321 a point of vital importance?
njp.32101066455518	That the Chinese memorandum was stolen from within. ” “ From within?"
njp.32101066455518	The next moment he shrugged his shoul- ders; had he not his motor car, and for the most part his freedom?
njp.32101066455518	The old man is playing a deep game — what game?
njp.32101066455518	Then Roger's eyes still but see the peach- blossom as the dawn sees the budding flower in the first flush of the morning?"
njp.32101066455518	Then it was only a rumor that he was dead? ” the girl asked.
njp.32101066455518	Then you are conversant with the theft of the Chinese memorandum? ” “ You take it to be a theft? ” the detective asked.
njp.32101066455518	Then you are conversant with the theft of the Chinese memorandum? ” “ You take it to be a theft? ” the detective asked.
njp.32101066455518	Then, if Armand were called on to explain — what would he say?
njp.32101066455518	Then, ” asked the white- haired woman, “ what do you propose to do?"
njp.32101066455518	There was but one woman in the world for him, and would she ever identify herself with his life in such a tone?
njp.32101066455518	There was some- thing so stony here that he blurted out instead — “ Shall I fetch Sir Roger, my Lady? ” Naomi did not reply for a moment.
njp.32101066455518	Think,"she went on with an appealing helplessness, “ think if it were known here — what would become of me?"
njp.32101066455518	To leave at once and defy this bully?
njp.32101066455518	Tune really want to see you?"
njp.32101066455518	Venice- there is a good train from here, we might be off tomorrow?"
njp.32101066455518	Was Naomi guilty?
njp.32101066455518	Was her enemy going to speak now, before the inquisition began, or would he let the farce go on and speak in his own good time?
njp.32101066455518	Was it she was so good- looking?
njp.32101066455518	Was opinion pitying Paul and saying hard things of him too?
njp.32101066455518	Was the suggestion to dally not even worth a contradiction- or had he not even heard her plea?
njp.32101066455518	We have got to find that out. ” “ Barbarian,"retorted Chi Lung, “ why will you meddle?
njp.32101066455518	Well, does n't it strike you as curious, ” went on Paul, “ that he seems so little anxious to help?
njp.32101066455518	What could be the purpose of dragging in a discrediting allusion to the opposite sex?
njp.32101066455518	What could she say?
njp.32101066455518	What did a bachelor want with a great drawing- room?
njp.32101066455518	What did he want? ” cried out Naomi.
njp.32101066455518	What did it matter if she lived or died?
njp.32101066455518	What do you want to know about it? ” inquired Paul shortly."
njp.32101066455518	What do you want?
njp.32101066455518	What does one want with thirteen Chinese scent bottles?"
njp.32101066455518	What had she to do with anger, with resentment, and Roger still pacing above?
njp.32101066455518	What has become of it? ” I do n't know."
njp.32101066455518	What have you to do with this? ” It was Naomi Melsham who spoke.
njp.32101066455518	What if he had not gone to the Tippley- Smiths'dance?
njp.32101066455518	What if twenty small details had been other than they were?
njp.32101066455518	What is it? ” Paul asked quickly.
njp.32101066455518	What is it? ” she asked fearfully.
njp.32101066455518	What is passing with Victoria? ” she asked herself.
njp.32101066455518	What is that? ” Amabelle heard her son's voice say.
njp.32101066455518	What is this that has come to you?
njp.32101066455518	What made you stop? ” “ 1- 1-"Naomi stuttered, and everyone present was conscious how she struggled for expression- or for repres- sion.
njp.32101066455518	What of that? ” returned Billy.
njp.32101066455518	What of the injustice to me?
njp.32101066455518	What on earth has he got to do with us? ” asked Billy.
njp.32101066455518	What profit would there be to Roger in clearing him but to plunge him into deeper grief?
njp.32101066455518	What the deuce does it mean? ” THE CHINESE PUZZLE 195 Victoria picked up the paper which had fallen on the hearthrug.
njp.32101066455518	What was his name — something to do with water – or was it steam?
njp.32101066455518	What was the thing to do now?
njp.32101066455518	What year were you there? ” Naomi had to ask.
njp.32101066455518	What's his latest craze this time?
njp.32101066455518	What, she asked herself, had he found to say to her?
njp.32101066455518	Where are you going? ” Roger called to him.
njp.32101066455518	Where did you come from? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	Where is Roger?
njp.32101066455518	Which guest?
njp.32101066455518	Who can it be? ” for like every habitué at Zouche, he knew the history of the room and the significance of the meetings there.
njp.32101066455518	Who did?
njp.32101066455518	Who is he? ” asked Naomi, as Roger came back to her.
njp.32101066455518	Who was the other?
njp.32101066455518	Who,"a sharper note coming into her voice, “ is in it now v?
njp.32101066455518	Why are these old ears denied its music?
njp.32101066455518	Why are you here? ” She looked fearfully at the faultlessly dressed woman.
njp.32101066455518	Why are you prejudiced against my going to Carson?"
njp.32101066455518	Why do you hate me?
njp.32101066455518	Why do you like to tor- ture me? ” “ Peace! ” began the old man in his easiest tone, and then his Excellency suddenly seemed to change his mind.
njp.32101066455518	Why do you want to know? ” “ Strum has gone into journalism, ” Mrs. Melsham ex- plained.
njp.32101066455518	Why not? ” A sudden wry smile crept up on Marketel's face.
njp.32101066455518	Why should he be?
njp.32101066455518	Why should he sacrifice himself?.
njp.32101066455518	Why should n't he come?
njp.32101066455518	Why should n't she be? ” “ There's bound to be some danger. ” “ What of that?"
njp.32101066455518	Why should n't she be? ” “ There's bound to be some danger. ” “ What of that?"
njp.32101066455518	Why should you suffer for me?"
njp.32101066455518	Why?
njp.32101066455518	Why? ” Billy is in trouble."
njp.32101066455518	Why?"
njp.32101066455518	Why?"
njp.32101066455518	Will that content you?"
njp.32101066455518	Will you listen to me now?
njp.32101066455518	Will you look at them while I write out-- what you require from me?"
njp.32101066455518	Wo n't you come in?"
njp.32101066455518	Would Paul care to see, nay, would he tolerate any inquisitorial inquiries as to Victoria Cresswell's movements?
njp.32101066455518	Would her inward upbraiding force her to convict herself out of her own mouth?
njp.32101066455518	Would it facilitate discovery, or retard it?
njp.32101066455518	Would the truth overmaster her?
njp.32101066455518	You admitted that your- self? ” 66 “ Yes,"returned Roger.
njp.32101066455518	You came downstairs? ” He looked up, waiting for her to reply.
njp.32101066455518	You do advise me to refuse that invitation to Dart- moor? ” she asked aloud- she looked ahead.
njp.32101066455518	You do n't think that Billy was deliberately telling a lie?"
njp.32101066455518	You had the cover of a kodak in your hand. ”"Had I?
njp.32101066455518	You hate what?"
njp.32101066455518	You were taking photographs- of what?"
njp.32101066455518	You will excuse me, M'am, ” he said, “ but the sun does fade our carpets so. ” “ Vous permettez?"
njp.32101066455518	You will stay a few days while you are here? ” asked Amabelle almost wistfully.
njp.32101066455518	You, alone, know Chinese?
njp.32101066455518	Your mother, she is well? ” Armand went on quickly.
njp.32101066455518	Your stream runs clear, what is it to you if filth wells out from another fountain? ” Paul moved right up till he all but touched the little man.
njp.32101066455518	and did he know it?
njp.32101066455518	how does it manage to be so wonderful and yet so homelike? ” “ Is n't that the effect of individual temperament? ” Paul rejoined.
njp.32101066455518	how does it manage to be so wonderful and yet so homelike? ” “ Is n't that the effect of individual temperament? ” Paul rejoined.
njp.32101066455518	it was not a trick of her imagination? — she saw his Excellency the Marquis Chi Lung coming towards her.
njp.32101066455518	she exclaimed,"you see some light in the darkness? ” Chi Lung waved her away.
njp.32101066455518	who did you say?
njp.32101066455518	Écoutez, Mademoiselle, ” he exclaimed, “ have I not said THE CHINESE PUZZLE 87 it is forgotten?
njp.32101066455518	Écoutez,"went on Armand gently, “ a man with so sweet an interior himself- how can he be hard on those who are without?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Aimée,"and his voice rang with an imperative note, “ are you sure Billy said Buzby sent them?"
njp.32101066455518	“ All,"faltered the golden- haired girl,"did n't I say any- thing?"
njp.32101066455518	“ All?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Alone? ” “ Absolument."
njp.32101066455518	“ Am I?"
njp.32101066455518	“ An affaire- here? ” she laughed.
njp.32101066455518	“ And Victoria's business could not be mine? ” “ Do n't see how it could be."
njp.32101066455518	“ And how did the beautiful lady stand the test? ” asked Paul, half amused, half dismayed at so feminine maneuver.
njp.32101066455518	“ And that is? ” broke in Roger impatiently.
njp.32101066455518	“ And that was how they became such friends? ” Naomi asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ And you can answer for them? ” For every one of them leave them out of your mind. ” The detective merely nodded and turned to Marketel.
njp.32101066455518	“ And you think Chi Lung could help us to put our finger on it?
njp.32101066455518	“ Any letters to post?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Are not plans made to be broken?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Are you afraid that I shall blow my brains out?
njp.32101066455518	“ Are you sure? ” Paul went on.
njp.32101066455518	“ Are you sure? ” shot out Paul.
njp.32101066455518	“ At the Tippley- Smiths?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Besides,"she added, blushing softly,"you forget this will be my first visit as a daughter- in- law. ” “ Are mothers- in- law then so popular?
njp.32101066455518	“ Billy had £ 2,000 sent to him. ” “ Sent? ” repeated Roger.
njp.32101066455518	“ But when am I to see him? ” Roger asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ But why were you taking photographs? ” Roger went on.
njp.32101066455518	“ But, dear lady, ” Armand retorted, “ what would the poor diplomats do then? ” He waved an approving hand towards the Chinese Room.
njp.32101066455518	“ But, your Excellency, wo n't you take the sofa your- self? ” Paul objected.
njp.32101066455518	“ By Jove, ” he exclaimed, “ good old Buzby! ” “ Buzby? ” echoed Victoria.
njp.32101066455518	“ Can he? ” mocked Roger.
njp.32101066455518	“ Can it be to keep an eye on either of us? ” Billy sug- gested.
njp.32101066455518	“ De Rochecorbon? ” exclaimed Paul.
njp.32101066455518	“ Dead! ” • Yes. ” Are — are you sure? ” Perfectly sure! ” Roger went on.
njp.32101066455518	“ Dear, why do you ask? ” “ Because I..
njp.32101066455518	“ Did Armand seem embarrassed when you questioned him about his acquaintance with Strum?
njp.32101066455518	“ Did Billy say who sent them? ” “ That Mr. Buzby of his, of course! ” Buzby,"repeated Roger.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did I not say definitely from Friday to Wednesday'? ” “ Yes,"faltered Naomi.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did n't Victoria tell me you were going to have a hand in that? ” he said, “ surely that's more in your line."
njp.32101066455518	“ Did n't your mother show me those photographs you took at Aix? ” The words brought a shadow of doubt, of hesitation, into Naomi's face.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you expect to find Lady de la Haye here? ” Paul began.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you hear what the old woman said? ” he asked huskily.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you not hesitate yourself?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you print any of the photographs you took on this occasion? ” he asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you see Chi Lung place it there? ” put in Sir Alymer.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you see that? ” he muttered.
njp.32101066455518	“ Did you want to see me about something important, Annie? ” she began.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do I cut off the tail of a dog and forget his head? ” Naomi gazed at him uncomprehendingly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do n't we all, sometimes, get into the wrong light, Mon- sieur de Rochecorbon?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Do n't you remember him? ” Mrs.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do n't you remember,"he hastened to explain, “ those irritating toys we used to have when we were children?
njp.32101066455518	“ Do n't you see, ” Roger blurted out,"that I have no right to take advantage of Naomi's generosity?
njp.32101066455518	“ Do n't you understand? ” Naomi answered, and there was a ring of supplication in her voice.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you hear — anything?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you know Monsieur de Rochecorbon? ” Amabelle asked her.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you know,"she began to Naomi, “ I have been thinking a great deal of that winter I was in Nice. ” “ Were you in Nice? ” said Roger.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you see? ” he demanded hoarsely, Auttering first one note and then the other, “ one thousand pounds- one thousand pounds.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you think I have forgotten when I began to find diplomacy interesting?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you think, ” the old man demanded presently, “ that my tongue would trouble itself to say weighty words for such as you?
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you want to reform me? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Do you wonder at that? ” asked Paul.
njp.32101066455518	“ Does it matter if he has? ” Naomi asked, striving to speak lightly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Does that really matter? ” she observed.
njp.32101066455518	“ Edward Buzby- what has Edward Buzby to do with this?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Eh? ” she repeated, when she saw that Lady de la Haye was looking very straight at her.
njp.32101066455518	“ Everything? ” gasped Naomi,"that is impossible.
njp.32101066455518	“ For all of them? ” asked Carson.
njp.32101066455518	“ For me?"
njp.32101066455518	“ For you? ” retorted Chi Lung.
njp.32101066455518	“ Good God, man,"thrust in Roger passionately,"do n't you understand what this means to me?
njp.32101066455518	“ Good Lord! ” he exclaimed; “ what are you driving at, Roger? ”"I want to know where Billy got that money,"Roger persisted determinedly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Has Chi Lung come? ” he demanded abruptly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Has Roger drunk of the honey dew until he is sick? ” Chi Lung inquired abruptly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Has Roger ever wanted you to ask a girl before?
njp.32101066455518	“ Has he forgotten that Victoria has been engaged to Billy Hirst since she was eighteen?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Has something gone wrong?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Have you any new servants at Zouche? ” he said.
njp.32101066455518	“ Have you ever noticed her with Paul Marketel? ” Aimée said softly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Have you opened the Chinese Room?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Have you seen all the treasures?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Have you that kodak now, Lady de la Haye? ” Carson broke in.
njp.32101066455518	“ He can, ” he continued emphatically, “ I'm sure of that- he knows a lot more than he confides to us- but why?
njp.32101066455518	“ He must have got it direct from the thief? ” Roger went on.
njp.32101066455518	“ He sold it — this Strum?"
njp.32101066455518	“ How can a woman know what constitutes happiness?
njp.32101066455518	“ How could he? ” Naomi replied, “ he has been seven years away from Europe- we have known each other less than a month."
njp.32101066455518	“ How did Billy afford to go on that expedition if he had to put £ 2,000 into it?
njp.32101066455518	“ How did you get here?
njp.32101066455518	“ How did you get here? ” asked Paul, as Billy sprang up with the information that it was ripping to see him.
njp.32101066455518	“ How did you know that he was not here? ” gasped Amabelle.
njp.32101066455518	“ How do you know?
njp.32101066455518	“ How do you know? ” “ Buzby was dead then."
njp.32101066455518	“ How? ” exclaimed Paul.
njp.32101066455518	“ I confess to a love of tea,"she answered, “ but today, may I not mention the dust, and say motoring is thirsty work?"
njp.32101066455518	“ I expect you can guess what about?"
njp.32101066455518	“ I like her, Paul, I like her,"Amabelle went on,"I know I do"• Well then? ” he asked."
njp.32101066455518	“ I say, ” he cried out irritably, “ what do you mean by saying'oh ’ like that? ” The girl's lips were skimmed with a smile.
njp.32101066455518	“ I suppose you know what a business expedition into the Andes under a half- breed may mean? ” he asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ I thought you were never coming. ” “ Am I so very late? ” asked Naomi, and she laughed uncertainly.
njp.32101066455518	“ I was going to, only you came in and prevented it. ” For whom?"
njp.32101066455518	“ I'm sorry for Billy,"he said, “ but how does his loss affect you and me? ” Ca n't you see? ” Victoria returned.
njp.32101066455518	“ I'm sorry for Billy,"he said, “ but how does his loss affect you and me? ” Ca n't you see? ” Victoria returned.
njp.32101066455518	“ If I'm not back in time, you'll go to the train, wo n't you, dear?
njp.32101066455518	“ In my father's time? ” “ Yes."
njp.32101066455518	“ In the Chinese Room? ” Paul asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ In the name of goodness, what else could it be? ” Paul asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Is Mr. Vancrest upstairs? ” he asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Is it ce cher Roger, and whom has he for bon camarade?
njp.32101066455518	“ Is n't emotion the main- stay of life? ” “ I rather thought action was, ” he answered banteringly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Is n't it lucky,"he said aloud, taking her arm,"that you and I have so many likings in common?
njp.32101066455518	“ Is n't that rather conceited of the De la Hayes?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Is that quite the language a daughter should use to a mother? ” Mrs. Melsham put in.
njp.32101066455518	“ Is there any special cause for effervescence?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Is there more than one?"
njp.32101066455518	“ It seems he is starting a new paper- Versions and Animadversions I think it is to be called: inconveniently apropos, do n't you think?
njp.32101066455518	“ It's a fee, or is it an honorarium? — besides, it's hardly thought déclassé nowadays to be earning one's living."
njp.32101066455518	“ Look here, ” said Roger, “ why should n't we go straight to the Olympic people and see what we can find out from them?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Mama seems to think I shall stay here for a few days longer. ” “ Why should she do that?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Mama, what have you come for?
njp.32101066455518	“ May I take the car on?
njp.32101066455518	“ Monsieur de Rochecorbon,"she began, “ you remember our last meeting — you remember the Villa Paul et Virginie?
njp.32101066455518	“ Mother, ” said Roger,"do you know the spring of the secret drawer failed to act?
njp.32101066455518	“ Mrs. Melsham is dead? ” Roger nodded.
njp.32101066455518	“ My dear,"she said,"is n't this your kodak? ” “ Yes,"said Naomi.
njp.32101066455518	“ My word? ” retorted Chi Lung.
njp.32101066455518	“ Not more bad news, my Lady? ” cried out the old man, as he saw the color leave her face and a kind of ashen gray tint come up on it.
njp.32101066455518	“ Of course you'd be merely the innocent victim of a guilty mother, but would the De la Hayes look on it in that light?
njp.32101066455518	“ Paul, ” he went on, “ have you forgotten — his Excel- lency's copy was left in my keeping?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Paul,"she said, fastening on that, “ Paul advised you against it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Paul?
njp.32101066455518	“ Roger, ” she began, “ do you know Billy is coming? ” He understood all that she did not say.
njp.32101066455518	“ Roger- he know nothing?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Sapristi! ” exclaimed Armand excitedly, “ there is some- one in the Chinese Room, then?
njp.32101066455518	“ Shall I have to fill up a column too?"
njp.32101066455518	“ She suddenly turned tail and put in said"“ What?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Shou?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Son of the Venerable and Beloved,"the old man im- plored, “ could not the strings of your tongue have been still?
njp.32101066455518	“ Strum was of it. ” Of what? ” That Paul Marketel would be here.
njp.32101066455518	“ Tell me,"she asked, “ who is staying here now?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Tell me,"she clamored, why have you come here?
njp.32101066455518	“ That old Chinaman hates me already,"she exclaimed, and then to Roger as he followed her, “ Why does he dis- like me so much? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ The family tombs?"
njp.32101066455518	“ The inter- esting question is — what's he going to do with it? ” “ Do with it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ The inter- esting question is — what's he going to do with it? ” “ Do with it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Then my happiness,"he remarked, “ is contingent on Billy finding a congenial job?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Then you would put it down to a further development of procrastination?"
njp.32101066455518	“ To one of us? ” Paul exclaimed, understanding him first, and he threw back his head with a gesture of denial.
njp.32101066455518	“ Victoria? ” ejaculated Billy, “ what do you mean? ” “ What will she think if I let you go? ” “ She'll be only too pleased.
njp.32101066455518	“ Victoria? ” ejaculated Billy, “ what do you mean? ” “ What will she think if I let you go? ” “ She'll be only too pleased.
njp.32101066455518	“ Victoria? ” ejaculated Billy, “ what do you mean? ” “ What will she think if I let you go? ” “ She'll be only too pleased.
njp.32101066455518	“ Well! ” she rapped out, will you go in and make a copy of that agreement, or shall I?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Well? ” Paul's tone was short, he was staring hard at the unsmiling eyes.
njp.32101066455518	“ What can it be? ” Paul asked himself, as he pushed open the white door of his own particular room.
njp.32101066455518	“ What did Mr. Hirst say?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What did she say? ” Roger asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ What do you mean?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What does she propose you should do? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ What has he come for?
njp.32101066455518	“ What have you come for, Mama? ” she demanded insistently.
njp.32101066455518	“ What have you done? ” The old man put up his hand.
njp.32101066455518	“ What is going on there? ” Naomi followed his glance.
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it- has the trip to Pekin gone wrong?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it? ” Aimée asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it? ” she exclaimed.
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What is it?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What is that?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What is this that has befallen me?
njp.32101066455518	“ What is wrong with his Highness? ” asked Aimée pertly.
njp.32101066455518	“ What man? ” inquired Naomi indifferently.
njp.32101066455518	“ What now?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What other way?"
njp.32101066455518	“ What room is that? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ What secret? ” gasped Naomi.
njp.32101066455518	“ What's up? ” inquired Billy, for even he saw that things were not quite normal.
njp.32101066455518	“ What, as late as this?"
njp.32101066455518	“ When you had finished taking them what did you do with the camera? ” “ I tell you I do n't know, ” Naomi reiterated.
njp.32101066455518	“ Where are you going, Roger? ” he cried.
njp.32101066455518	“ Where shall we go?
njp.32101066455518	“ Where was he going? ” Roger asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Who has gossiped about old Chi Lung to a woman?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Who is Carson? ” asked Marketel.
njp.32101066455518	“ Who'll want to shoot with me? ” he muttered.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why do you want to stop me again? ” he demanded fiercely.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why does n't Roger come at once? ” Amabelle asked herself.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why not? ” asked Marketel obstinately.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why not? ” demanded her mother.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why not? ” he asked sharply.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why should he do that?
njp.32101066455518	“ Why should he want anything? ” Billy asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why should she give me a chance? ” Naomi asked herself quickly.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why, has n't he started for Pekin yet? ” “ I think he wants to see you particularly, Sir.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why?
njp.32101066455518	“ Why? ” Because,"answered her mother, “ Strum made no secret of his intentions.
njp.32101066455518	“ Why?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Will that content you? ” he asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ Will you step in here, Sir?"
njp.32101066455518	“ With whom? ” asked Paul.
njp.32101066455518	“ Would it be so very interesting? ” the girl smiled.
njp.32101066455518	“ Would it be the surest proof of her love for Roger to leave him?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Yes?"
njp.32101066455518	“ You are going to telephone? ” she asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ You have heard? ” she blurted out.
njp.32101066455518	“ You know he is in disgrace in Pekin, what has he to gain from any conceal- ment? ” “ There you beat me,"admitted Marketel.
njp.32101066455518	“ You permit one tout petit mot? ” he queried gently.
njp.32101066455518	“ You remember me, your Excellency? ” he interposed quickly.
njp.32101066455518	“ You think he denied himself purposely, first to me and then to you? ” Paul asked.
njp.32101066455518	“ You think she can manage her own affairs? ” “ No one better."
njp.32101066455518	“ You think these aged limbs tremble already? ” Chi Lung returned.
njp.32101066455518	“ You wanted to consult me professionally? ” he in- quired.
njp.32101066455518	“ You were taking photographs of this room?"
njp.32101066455518	“ You wish to take my resignation with you? ” he de- manded.
njp.32101066455518	“ You — you recog- nize me after all these years?"
njp.32101066455518	“ You! ” took up Roger —"you sold the memorandum to Hermann Strum?
njp.32101066455518	“ You?
njp.32101066455518	“ You?
njp.32101066455518	“ You? ” she began.
njp.32101066455518	“ You?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Your Excellency here? ” Naomi stammered.
njp.32101066455518	“ Your Excellency, ” he demanded, “ will you give me your word that your copy was never out of your posses- sion?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Your Excellency,"began Paul, “ will you tell me why you have come back yourself to be the first to announce this evil news?"
njp.32101066455518	“ Your- your Excellency, ” she stammered, “ why- why have you come?
njp.32101066455518	”"And the lily- flower- has he found that the hours do not go faster for her presence?"
nyp.33433074861968	- “ Why not?
nyp.33433074861968	53 “ Where? ” “ To the churchyard — to the grave.
nyp.33433074861968	A genuine detective — none of your makeshifts. ” “ I thought you knew nothing about him? ” “ Nor did I till this minute.
nyp.33433074861968	Afterwards I learned the truth through Dane. ” “ How did you meet Dane? ” “ Well, I knew him by sight long before we spoke.
nyp.33433074861968	All the time he was here not one person called. ” “ Did he receive any letters? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	Also he took the World, Truth, Modern Society, and M. A. P. He was fond of the fash- ionable intelligence. ” “ Oh, he was, was he?
nyp.33433074861968	And by what? ” “ By a white lady.
nyp.33433074861968	And how was such permission to be obtained?
nyp.33433074861968	And then he had a rough red — wig, shall we say?
nyp.33433074861968	And what are your movements? ” Ware thought for a few minutes before he answered.
nyp.33433074861968	And who is Wilson, and why did he kill her? ” “ I do n't know who Wilson is, ” replied Steel.
nyp.33433074861968	And you, Mr. Ware? ” “ I prefer untainted airs, ” he replied, accepting a cigar- ette.
nyp.33433074861968	And you? ” “ I sincerely mourn for the poor girl.
nyp.33433074861968	Anne Denham it was and none other. ” “ What happened then? ” asked Giles anxiously.
nyp.33433074861968	Are you cold? ” asked Daisy.
nyp.33433074861968	Are you happy after all your troubles, dearest? ” “ Very happy, Giles.
nyp.33433074861968	Artful?
nyp.33433074861968	Bad news is so apt to spoil one's appetite. ” “ How do you know the news will be bad? ” asked Daisy.
nyp.33433074861968	Besides, Steel promised not to have him arrested. ” “ Promised you? ” said Ware, astonished.
nyp.33433074861968	Bloodhounds prob- ably? ” “ How do you know that? ” asked Miss Franklin, star- ing.
nyp.33433074861968	Bloodhounds prob- ably? ” “ How do you know that? ” asked Miss Franklin, star- ing.
nyp.33433074861968	But Anne? ” She flashed a rather annoyed look at him.
nyp.33433074861968	But how do you know that when Mor- ley arrived with Anne that Denham did not take fright and fly? ” “ I do n't think Morley would let him do that.
nyp.33433074861968	But how is it you dare to con- fess, as Anne, that she killed the girl? ” “ Anne did kill Daisy Kent! ” “ She did not. ” “ Yes, she did.
nyp.33433074861968	But see here, Morley, what is the use of our discussing this matter?
nyp.33433074861968	But since you met her — ” “ Did you hear of our meeting? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074861968	But such a death would fall far short of the punishment he deserves. ” “ Has Denham negro blood in him? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	But there is another crime** “ What particular crime do you mean, sir? ” asked Dane quietly.
nyp.33433074861968	But to be sure I have been idle these ten years. ” “ Then you think Franklin is this man? ” “ I think so, but of course I ca n't be sure.
nyp.33433074861968	But what can you expect from a parcel of tradesmen?
nyp.33433074861968	But what young man could resist so beautiful a woman?
nyp.33433074861968	But while most yachts are at anchor in a place does a burglary invariably occur?
nyp.33433074861968	But you are really Joe Bart? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	But”—he started up—“you do n't mean to say that — ” “ That I am Joe Bart? ” interrupted Morley, not ill- pleased.
nyp.33433074861968	By the way, how does she come to be the mother? ” “ It ’s a long story.
nyp.33433074861968	Can I assist you? ” The damsel looked at him sternly and scowled.
nyp.33433074861968	Can you blame me? ” “ From what I know of Morley I can not, ” he stam- mered.
nyp.33433074861968	Can you help me? ” “ Not at present, but I may be able to do so.
nyp.33433074861968	Denham or the yacht? ” “ Each both!
nyp.33433074861968	Denham tried to ruin your mother. ” “ And he did — he did? ” she said bitterly.
nyp.33433074861968	Did Morley write that anonymous letter which accused Anne? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	Did he go that far? ” She was on her feet by this time pacing the room.
nyp.33433074861968	Do n't say murdered? ” AFTERWARDS- 47 “ Yes, we found her lying on her father's grave, dead; a knife- thrust under the left shoulder- blade.
nyp.33433074861968	Do n't you see one is dressed in red, another in white, and the third in blue?
nyp.33433074861968	Do n't you? ” “ Certainly, ” Anne forced herself to say, “ but you love Mr. Ware. ” Daisy nodded.
nyp.33433074861968	Do n’t mention it to Giles. ” “ Why not? ” “ Because I will find occasion to tell him myself.
nyp.33433074861968	Do you know him?
nyp.33433074861968	Do you know my name? ” She took a good look at him, and seemed — he was vain enough to think so — rather to soften towards him.
nyp.33433074861968	Do you know where she is? ”- Giles shook his head.
nyp.33433074861968	Do you mean to say —? ” “ I mean to say that Dane is the murderer, ” said Steel triumphantly.
nyp.33433074861968	Does she know her? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	Eyes, as I say, you can not change. ” “ Had this Wilson eyes like mine? ” asked Frankly eager- ly.
nyp.33433074861968	George was an only son. ” “ Then did Alfred Denham have a brother of that name? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	Had this man you think me to be two teeth missing in his lower jaw — two front teeth? ” “ He had.
nyp.33433074861968	Has he a pale face and a red beard? ” asked Steel.
nyp.33433074861968	Have you found any clue? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433074861968	Have you found it? ” “ Yes, ” replied Giles, his eyes watchfully on her face.
nyp.33433074861968	He does no good with it. ” “ Any family?
nyp.33433074861968	He gasped out that she was dead, and implored me to save him. ” “ Do you think he killed her? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	He had a beard when he first came, and now has shaved it off. ” “ Have you seen much of him? ” “ Hardly anything.
nyp.33433074861968	He has taken her away. ” “ Dane? ” echoed Giles.
nyp.33433074861968	He is a myth? ” The Princess nodded.
nyp.33433074861968	He liked Miss Denham too well to let her drop into the hands of the police. ” “ Then you really think she did it? ” asked Drake, hor- rified.
nyp.33433074861968	He told me more than he should have done. ” “ Told you what? ”- “ That Denham had come in for money and was living at Rickwell.
nyp.33433074861968	He wants to find out where the best swag is to be found, and xx “ But what has all this to do with my friend Anne? ” cried the Princess.
nyp.33433074861968	He was a groom once. ” “ Is n't he a groom now? ” “ Well”—Mrs.
nyp.33433074861968	He was a young planter of good birth, and very handsome in looks. ” “ Anything like Denham? ” asked Ware quickly.
nyp.33433074861968	How do you propose to find her, Ware? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074861968	However, she went out. ” “ And the tall man also? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	I believe you are right, Ware. ” “ What?
nyp.33433074861968	I ca n’t think how else they escaped. ” “ Why should this lawyer's clerk have gone on board? ” “ That's what Steel is trying to find out.
nyp.33433074861968	I daresay they will be able to give you his history. ” “ And the Scarlet Cross? ” “ I know nothing about that.
nyp.33433074861968	I daresay while he was with you he kept the most irregular hours? ” “ He did — most irregular. ” “ Out all night at times, and in all day?
nyp.33433074861968	I daresay while he was with you he kept the most irregular hours? ” “ He did — most irregular. ” “ Out all night at times, and in all day?
nyp.33433074861968	I have sent my wife and family to Brighton and propose to follow myself in a day or so. ” “ I am lucky to have caught you, then? ” “ What?
nyp.33433074861968	I have sent my wife and family to Brighton and propose to follow myself in a day or so. ” “ I am lucky to have caught you, then? ” “ What?
nyp.33433074861968	I have something to show you. ” “ In connection with the case? ” “ In connection with Miss Denham. ” “ What is it?
nyp.33433074861968	I have something to show you. ” “ In connection with the case? ” “ In connection with Miss Denham. ” “ What is it?
nyp.33433074861968	I have to be very careful with her. ”- “ Do you mean to say that she knows anything? ” asked Giles.
nyp.33433074861968	I have to talk to you about Anne. ” “ Who is this Anne? ” asked the Princess, rising lazily.
nyp.33433074861968	I hope you will ask me to the wedding. ” “ How do you know it will ever take place? ” asked Giles sadly.
nyp.33433074861968	I might be able to help you in your search. ” “ After this woman? ” Steel shook his head.
nyp.33433074861968	I never did it! ” “ Did what? ” Giles in his nervous agitation shook the boy.
nyp.33433074861968	I only saw him at night when I came home from the office. ” “ Did he ask you many questions about the office? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433074861968	I resolved to say nothing, lest he might tell the police. ” “ Why did you not tell him that she was innocent? ” asked Giles hotly.
nyp.33433074861968	I saw a man dash away 32 “ Who was he? ” asked Steel and Giles simultaneously.
nyp.33433074861968	I shall be sorry to leave lim. ”- “ Is he not going also? ” MANY A SLIP'TWIXT CUP AND LIP 205 Morley looked astonished.
nyp.33433074861968	I think the crime was committed by the man with whom she fled. ” “ A tall man with a red beard and hair and black eyes? ” “ Yes, yes.
nyp.33433074861968	I turn King's evidence. ” “ The best way to save your own skin, ” said Steel dry- ly; “ you are an Irishman, are you not? ” Dane nodded.
nyp.33433074861968	I went away in another direction. ” “ Then why do you tell now? ” asked Ware bluntly.
nyp.33433074861968	I wonder what they have to do with the mat- ter?
nyp.33433074861968	I ’ll keep my mouth closed. ” “ Are you going to accuse our client of the crime? ” asked Asher dryly.
nyp.33433074861968	I'll take my oath to it. ” “ Had your boarder red hair and a red beard? ” “ Red as a tomato.
nyp.33433074861968	I'm glad Morley is dead. ” “ How do you know he is? ” asked Giles sharply.
nyp.33433074861968	I'm sure I've always been very good to her, even though she is n't my sister. ” “ Did your father tell you she was n't? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	If I could only trust him? ” He looked round.
nyp.33433074861968	If he were all he seems, would his wife's face wear that expression?
nyp.33433074861968	If she killed the girl her object must have been to escape herself? ” “ I ca n't explain.
nyp.33433074861968	In spite of your preference for my conversation, I wish I were Daisy. ” “ Do you? ” asked Ware eagerly?
nyp.33433074861968	In spite of your preference for my conversation, I wish I were Daisy. ” “ Do you? ” asked Ware eagerly?
nyp.33433074861968	In what families? ” Mrs. Benker was not at all averse to relating her better days, and did so with pride.
nyp.33433074861968	Is Mr. Morley dead? ” “ I forgot.
nyp.33433074861968	Is he dead or alive?
nyp.33433074861968	Is it worth while to try and trace her? ” This speech was made to Mrs. Morley, and the pale woman gave a decided negative.
nyp.33433074861968	Is she not with you? ” “ She is not, ” wailed the woman, throwing herself on the couch.
nyp.33433074861968	Is that it? ” “ Yes, ” stammered Giles, quite at sea.
nyp.33433074861968	It is very strange. ” “ What is the Scarlet Cross? ” asked Mrs. Morley seri- ously.
nyp.33433074861968	It was a letter to some lawyers in Sydney. ” “ Did you tell Mr. Wilson about it? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074861968	Let me in, and I'll speak for my young friend. ” “ And who may you be, sir? ” demanded Mrs. Benker, bristling.
nyp.33433074861968	May I ask if you are twins, sir? ”- “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	May I ask what you know of him? ” “ Absolutely nothing, ” replied the other emphatically.
nyp.33433074861968	May I look? ” And without waiting for permission she ran to the lamp.
nyp.33433074861968	Meantime I can tell you all I do know about Anne and her father. ” “ You will speak freely? ” he asked mistrustfully.
nyp.33433074861968	Miss Daisy Kent, who lived with Mr. Mor- ley at Rickwell? ”- Alexander thought for a moment.
nyp.33433074861968	Mrs. Morley? ” “ Pish! ” said the old dame pettishly.
nyp.33433074861968	Mrs.-Mrs.--what is your name? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074861968	My wife expects me back in Brighton to- mor- row. ” “ When do you return to The Elms? ” “ In a month.
nyp.33433074861968	No one knows who has done it. ” “ What do you mean? ” Ware looked puzzled.
nyp.33433074861968	Nonsense! ” “ Oh, but is it, sir?
nyp.33433074861968	Now Miss Denham had, for she was in the room alone for a few moments. ” “ But why should she have taken the clerk with her on the car?
nyp.33433074861968	Now if he did n't kill Miss Kent on account of the money, why did he ask the office- boy about the matter? ” Giles shook his head.
nyp.33433074861968	Now. ”*> PRINCESS KARACSAY III “ Now, ” said Giles eagerly, “ what about Anne? ” “ What about myself first of all, Mr. Ware.
nyp.33433074861968	Of course, you do n't believe that she killed your fiancée? ” “ Certainly not.
nyp.33433074861968	Oh, am I to lose her after all? ” She paused and came back to the couch.
nyp.33433074861968	Oh, my poor love, shall I ever be able to shelter you from the storms of life? ” There did not seem to be much chance of it at the pres- ent moment.
nyp.33433074861968	On Boxing Day if you like. ” “ We will go alone? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074861968	Please, sir, I ’m very sorry, but I thought Mr. Wilson was all right. ” “ Did Mr. Wilson come back to say that all was right? ” demanded.
nyp.33433074861968	Powell's solicitors are Asher, Son, and Asher — ” “ Powell?
nyp.33433074861968	Pretty?
nyp.33433074861968	Quite a labor of love. ” “ And who has done this?
nyp.33433074861968	Rather a late beginning at my age, eh, Ware? ” “ What about your finances? ” “ Oh, that's all right, ” said Morley, jubilantly.
nyp.33433074861968	Rather a late beginning at my age, eh, Ware? ” “ What about your finances? ” “ Oh, that's all right, ” said Morley, jubilantly.
nyp.33433074861968	She and her daughter only came down here for a rest. ” “ Oh, they did, did they, Ware?
nyp.33433074861968	She must have taken the weapon. ” “ No, no; why should she have? ” “ Because she intended to murder my poor Daisy.
nyp.33433074861968	She refuses to tell me. ” “ And she asked you to come over to identify the man? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	She started, and bending towards a near lamp, read the paper. ” “ Did anyone else see her read it? ”- “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	She teaches the Tricolor goodness knows what. ” “ The Tricolor? ” “ So we call the triplets.
nyp.33433074861968	She went out as a governess, and only rarely came home. ” “ And how did Denham earn his living? ” “ Oh, he invented the Scarlet Cross Society.
nyp.33433074861968	Since then I have not seen him. ” “ So you returned to England, thinking your father was dead? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074861968	So you love Anne? ” “ With all my heart and soul, ” he replied fervently.
nyp.33433074861968	Suppose you tell me what has been going on in these parts? ” “ As if I knew anything of what was going on, ” Mrs. Parry.
nyp.33433074861968	The cards say that I am to die young. ” “ Why, Daisy, what is the matter? ” She made no reply.
nyp.33433074861968	The man who left the money to Daisy P Was he in Jamaica? ” The Princess nodded.
nyp.33433074861968	Then I daresay he will be able to explain why he took Anne away. ” “ Will he do so? ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433074861968	Then we went to Italy, to Flor- ence. ” “ Was n't your father recognized? ” “ No; he had altered his appearance.
nyp.33433074861968	Then you are not sure where she is? ” said Olga eagerly.
nyp.33433074861968	There is no compulsion about his choice, my dear. ” “ Do you really think so? ” demanded the girl fever- ishly.
nyp.33433074861968	There was also another boy called Kent. ” “ Daisy's father? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	They came to blows, sir, and Mr. Franklin's leg is broken. ” “ Then he has not left Rickwell? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433074861968	To Mr. Wilson, mother's lodger. ” “ Is he tall?
nyp.33433074861968	Ught"“ Is Miss Kent engaged to Mr. Ware? ” “ For three years they have been engaged — a family ar- rangement, I understand.
nyp.33433074861968	Ungrateful girl, how can you speak so of those who have befriended you? ” “ I do.
nyp.33433074861968	Was he well off? ” “ I do n't knew.
nyp.33433074861968	Was the note found? ” “ Not to my knowledge.
nyp.33433074861968	What do you know about the matter? ” “ Only what Steel told me.
nyp.33433074861968	What do you know if her? ” “ Everything, ” said the Princess, sitting up.
nyp.33433074861968	What do you make of that, Ware? ” “ Nothing at all.
nyp.33433074861968	What do you mean? ” said Morley, and his face exhibited genuine amazement.
nyp.33433074861968	What do you want to know, Mr. Ware? ” “ Who is she P Who was her father?
nyp.33433074861968	What do you want to know, Mr. Ware? ” “ Who is she P Who was her father?
nyp.33433074861968	What does this mean? ” The boy began to sob, and drew his coat- sleeve across his eye with a snuffle.
nyp.33433074861968	What have you done with that money, wretched boy? ” “ I went to the Hippodrome with another boy, ” wept Alexander.
nyp.33433074861968	What of that? ” “ A man called Scott told Steel that you were in Rick- well. ” “ I admit it.
nyp.33433074861968	What reward have I got?
nyp.33433074861968	What shall I do?
nyp.33433074861968	What should be the matter? ” Morley spoke shortly and not in a pleasant tone.
nyp.33433074861968	What would the rector say?
nyp.33433074861968	What's up? ” By this time Giles noted the earliest train he could catch from Barnham Station, and found he had over an hour to spare.
nyp.33433074861968	Where are they? ” “ Who was the letter from? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074861968	Where are they? ” “ Who was the letter from? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074861968	Where are you going? ” “ To mother.
nyp.33433074861968	Where did he write from? ” “ From Florence, in Italy, where he has lived for four years.
nyp.33433074861968	Where do you live? ” “ Warder Street, Lambeth, ” snuffled Alexander, and 90 A COIN OF EDWARD VII.
nyp.33433074861968	Where does he come from? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074861968	Where is he? ” “ At the Priory. ” I34 A COIN OF EDWARD VII.
nyp.33433074861968	Where is she?
nyp.33433074861968	Where? ” “ In Paris and in London.
nyp.33433074861968	Who are you to come into my life and spoil it? ” “ I am a governess.
nyp.33433074861968	Who can have taken it? ” “ Miss Denham| Miss Denham Oh, and you believe her to be innocent! ” cried the other.
nyp.33433074861968	Who found out that Den- ham was masquerading as your late husband? ” “ Olga found it out.
nyp.33433074861968	Who is he? ” Morley glanced at a letter.
nyp.33433074861968	Why have you come here? ” Dane fumbled in his pocket.
nyp.33433074861968	Why not come to The Elms with me and speak to Franklin yourself?
nyp.33433074861968	Why not recommence your detective life with searching out this case? ”- Morley, late Joe Bart, shook his head.
nyp.33433074861968	Why should he go?
nyp.33433074861968	Why? ” “ It ’s too long a matter to go into.
nyp.33433074861968	Would you have called him a gentleman? ” “ He always paid his rent duly, ” hesitated Mrs. Benker, “ so far he was a perfect gentleman.
nyp.33433074861968	Would you prefer a cigar? ” “ No, thank you, Princess.
nyp.33433074861968	You could n't possibly marry her and bring her back to Rickwell as your wife. ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074861968	You gave it to someone to serve? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074861968	You have not heard a lady speak of me? ” Miss Franklin stared.
nyp.33433074861968	You keep dogs, do you?
nyp.33433074861968	You know about that also? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074861968	You remember the letter, Steel? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	You see it yourself, do you not, Mr. Ware? ” “ Yes, ” replied Giles, “ and I often wondered at it.
nyp.33433074861968	a wife? ” “ There is a daughter, I understand, but she is an in- valid, and keeps to her room or to the grounds.
nyp.33433074861968	coffee?

nyp.33433074861968	what is the matter? ” He might well ask.
nyp.33433074861968	“ 1 wonder where he is?
nyp.33433074861968	“ A clerk of ours, Mr. Steel?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Alexander, ” cried his mother harshly, “ what have you been doing? ” “ Nothing very dreadful, ma'am, ” interposed Steel.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Am I never to be rid of that scamp? ” he said, shak- ing his fist at the sky.
nyp.33433074861968	“ And how many people have been hanged on evidence which has afterwards been proved incorrect? ” retorted Mrs. Parry.
nyp.33433074861968	“ And what about Anne? ”- She appeared annoyed by his persistence.
nyp.33433074861968	“ And you forgive me? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074861968	“ And you read them sometimes? ” “ Nearly always.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Anne lost? ” cried the Princess, clutching at a chair to steady herself.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Are you leaving The Elms? ” “ In a month's time, ” replied the little man.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Are you still at the Priory? ” “ There's nowhere else for me to go till I hear from Anne. ” “ Anne is in town.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Are you sure? ” cried Giles, taking the glass.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Are you sure? ” said Steel, and Giles fancied he saw a smile play round his rather full lips.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Are you sure? ” “ I ’m sure of nothing where men are concerned.
nyp.33433074861968	“ But Anne — where can she be? ” he asked Steel, as they stepped into the cart.
nyp.33433074861968	“ But Dane? ” “ He ’s all right.
nyp.33433074861968	“ But I fear the case will not be finished till Morley is caught, and where am I to look for him?
nyp.33433074861968	“ But I quite understand your mis- take. ” “ My mistake? ” Mrs. Benker shook her head vehement- ly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Ca n't you guess? ” She drew a paper out of her pocket.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Ca n't you see?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Daisy, what is the matter? ” “ The- the – letter! ” gasped Daisy, with chattering teeth.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Dane knew all about Denham, and Anne thought she would make him confess what he knew. ” “ And did he? ” “ That I ca n't say.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Denham's secretary? ” 224 A COIN OF EDWARD VII.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Did he serve this? ” “ Yes, ” replied Morley, returning to his seat with a gloomy face.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Did her father leave her money? ” asked Mrs. McKail.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Did you know anything else about him, Mrs. Benker? ” “ No, sir. ” She drew herself up primly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Did you read any letter saying that Miss Kent had inherited a A STRANGE DISCOVERY 91 fortune?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Do you believe that I had anything to do with that? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Do you believe that I had anything to do with that? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Do you mean to say Morley killed the girl? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Do you mean to say that she is Mademoiselle Olga's sister? ” “ Her half- sister, ” corrected the Princess, sobbing.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Giles Ware? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Got the war- rant? ” “ How do you know I have a warrant? ” asked the other, taken aback.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Got the war- rant? ” “ How do you know I have a warrant? ” asked the other, taken aback.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Had not your husband a brother called Walter? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Have you caught her? ” asked the man.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Have you ever seen a stiletto? ” asked Drake.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Have you found her? ” he asked, just as Mrs. Parry had done.
nyp.33433074861968	“ He ’ll deny that he is. ” “ Why should he?
nyp.33433074861968	“ He ’s your model, is he?
nyp.33433074861968	“ How can I tell when I do n’t know?
nyp.33433074861968	“ How do you do, sir? ” said the detective, as they shook hands.
nyp.33433074861968	“ How do you stand? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074861968	“ How much do you know? ” she asked, bracing herself up.
nyp.33433074861968	“ I do n't suppose you'll be mean enough to put her against me. ” “ Why should I? ” said Giles mildly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ I look upon Miss Denham PRINCESS KARACSAY Io?
nyp.33433074861968	“ I may, or I may not, ” she replied quickly; “ and if you know, why not seek her out? ” “ I intend to try. ” “ To try!
nyp.33433074861968	“ I never gave her any cause for jealousy. ” “ Would you have married her had she lived? ” “ Certainly, ” said Ware coldly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ I never pry — never. ” “ Did any one call to see Mr. Wilson? ” “ No one.
nyp.33433074861968	“ I told him everything, and you played that nice little comedy in the park. ”- “ With Mrs. Benker? ” Denham Smiled.
nyp.33433074861968	“ If she speaks like this to Mrs. Parry, what will hap- pen? ” moaned the poor woman, wringing her hands.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Is Daisy going also? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Is it so very difficult to understand? ” she asked softly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Is that why you pretended ignorance? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Is this a joke? ” cried Morley angrily.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Miss Denham is innocent. ” “ Then why did she fly? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074861968	“ My father expects you. ” “ Who told him I was coming? ” asked Steel.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Olga, what do you mean? ” Olga did not answer.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Shall I wait for you, sir? ” “ No, take the car to the inn, and make yourself com- fortable.
nyp.33433074861968	“ So that was the motive, you think? ” “ I am sure of it, and a quite strong enough motive for many people, ” said Ware grimly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Some folks make their own coincidences. ” “ What do you mean, Mrs. Parry? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Some folks make their own coincidences. ” “ What do you mean, Mrs. Parry? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074861968	“ The Morleys, what about them? ” “ No change, Ware.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Then why did he delay giving me the ring? ” Anne knew well enough.
nyp.33433074861968	“ They are genu- ine Princesses, are they not? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Was his broken leg the cause? ” “ No, ” replied the old man; “ but yesterday he received a telegram, and afterwards took a dose of poison.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Well, I hope you'll be good to her. ” “ Do n’t you think I shall? ” Portia, in spite of her grief, tossed her head.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Well, she does n’t like Anne. ” “ Does she like anyone? ” asked Giles coolly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Well, sir, ” he said, “ I have found out an astonishing lot of things. ” “ About the murder? ” asked Ware apprehensively.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What about that coin you are looking for? ” “ I am looking for no coin, ” she replied, quite prepared for him.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What about that summons which was served by you on Mr. Morley, of Rickwell? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What do you mean? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074861968	“ What do you mean? ” “ Mean?
nyp.33433074861968	“ What has he got to do with her? ” MARK DANE 239 Molley said, and he asked her to come at once.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What is our business? ” she demanded, looking at him through half- closed eyes.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What is the matter, Giles?
nyp.33433074861968	“ What is the matter? ” she asked, coming forward.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What is the name of the man who confessed all this? ” asked Giles.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What lady? ” “ The lady who is stopping in your house. ” Her eyes became hard, and she assumed a stony ex- pression.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What newspaper did he take? ” “ The Morning Post.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What's the matter? ” he asked harshly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What's the news this morning, Trim? ” he asked lan- guidly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What's this? ” he asked wonderingly—“a coin with precious stones'“ Anne's Edward VII.
nyp.33433074861968	“ What, in the very jaws of the lion?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Where is her murderess? ” he asked sharply.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Where is the body? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Where? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Which?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Who is he? ” demanded the detective.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Who knows? ” smiled Anne.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why did you cry out like that?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why do you smile, Mr. Ware? ” asked the Princess.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why should you say that? ” she demanded; “ you were not his friend. ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why, I never boarded with you in my life I ’ ’ “ Oh, Mr. Wilson, how can you?
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why, Mr. Morley, what do you know of such work? ” he asked, bantering.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why, sir, where's the machine? ” he asked, with astonishment.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Why? ” Anne flushed and threw back her head proudly.
nyp.33433074861968	“ Will you permit me to retire? ” “ No!
nyp.33433074861968	“ You might not, but Walter Franklin might. ” “ Who is he?
nyp.33433074861968	“ You ’ll come and see me again? ” he said, opening the door for Dane.
nyp.33433074861992	All the better, is n't it? ” “ I ’m sure I do n't know what you mean, ” said Mrs. Bolstreath, much flustered.
nyp.33433074861992	And father was so good, so kind,- oh, who can have killed him in this cruel way? ” She looked round with streaming eyes.
nyp.33433074861992	And the aims? ” “ Wealth and power.
nyp.33433074861992	And the cards?
nyp.33433074861992	And the per- fume?
nyp.33433074861992	And then*> “ And then? ” echoed Laurance with a grin.
nyp.33433074861992	Anything wrong? ” 114 THE MYSTERY QUEEN “ Wrong!
nyp.33433074861992	At this very moment? ” Dan's blood ran cold, for, after all, he was yet young, and life was sweet to him.
nyp.33433074861992	But Mrs. Jarsell? ” “ She is a rich and rather eccentric lady, who lives at The Grange, ” said Mr. Laurance, before Mildred could reply.
nyp.33433074861992	But did he explain?
nyp.33433074861992	But did you smell any scent on this Mrs. Brown? ” Lillian looked at him vacantly and shook her head.
nyp.33433074861992	But how did it come about?
nyp.33433074861992	But instead of this happening, she became ex- 116 THE MYSTERY QUEEN “ You ’ll be seeing Mrs. Jarsell again? ” Halliday shook his head.
nyp.33433074861992	But since Penn told you so much, are n't you in danger from the gang yourself, Dan? ” “ I think not.
nyp.33433074861992	But there was an odor about the mouth or nose. ” “ On the handkerchief, perhaps? ” suggested the re- porter.
nyp.33433074861992	But we must have a chat first to adjust the situation. ” “ What situation? ” asked Dan, wilfully dense.
nyp.33433074861992	But why should n't all go well? ” inquired Dan, after a pause.
nyp.33433074861992	By the way, Lillian, why should he send to you about the matter? ” “ I ’m sure I do n't know.
nyp.33433074861992	By the way, where is Laurance? ” “ Do n’t you remember?
nyp.33433074861992	By the way, where is Laurance? ” “ Do n’t you remember?
nyp.33433074861992	Can he see me? ” “ I ’ll inquire, sir.
nyp.33433074861992	Did n't the footman see the body — that is if Mrs. Brown committed the crime — when he came to show her out?
nyp.33433074861992	Did she tell you about the start? ” “ Eh!
nyp.33433074861992	Did you recognize Mrs. Jarsell as that person? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861992	Did you smell this scent on Mrs. Brown? ” he demanded suddenly.
nyp.33433074861992	Do I shock you, Mrs. Jarsell?
nyp.33433074861992	Do n't you want more money? ” “ I want heaps and heaps, ” said Dan laughing, “ but I have no chance of getting it.
nyp.33433074861992	Do you know Curberry? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	Do you think she is guilty? ” “ I ca n't say.

nyp.33433074861992	Eliza, will you go and send those telegrams, you silly fool?
nyp.33433074861992	Good- by. ” “ Wait a moment, ” said Laurance, following Dan to the door, “ what about Sir John Moon?
nyp.33433074861992	H'm| Now I wonder what this means?
nyp.33433074861992	Has it any- thing to do with a gang? ” “ Yes, yes. ” Penn's teeth were chattering, and the sinking motion made him sick.
nyp.33433074861992	Has this gang>* “ Murdered him? ” finished the young man, “ yes, I believe so, although a verdict of suicide was brought in.
nyp.33433074861992	Have you ever smelt a perfume like it before? ” she asked suddenly.
nyp.33433074861992	Have you examined those win- dows? ” he asked suddenly, pointing to three French- windows at the side of the room.
nyp.33433074861992	Have you seen The Moment this morning? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861992	Have you written to Miss Vincent? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	He is too rich, I suppose? ” He cast an inquiring glance at the girl.
nyp.33433074861992	He refuses to let me have a machine. ” “ How like him, ” ejaculated Laurance quickly; “ but upon what grounds? ” 94.
nyp.33433074861992	He sha n’t tell me another. ” “ How do you mean to get him to tell you the truth? ” asked Freddy dubiously.
nyp.33433074861992	How can I get hold of the machine? ” “ I shall take you up to Hillshire next week, and you can see Vincent for yourself.
nyp.33433074861992	I am glad of it. ” “ Why not turn king's evidence, and denounce this woman and her gang?
nyp.33433074861992	I can handle a machine, but I ca n't put one together. ” “ Who told you about me? ” demanded the man sus- piciously.
nyp.33433074861992	I have 3 heaps to tell you likely to be interesting. ” “ About the murder of Durwin? ” questioned Laurance, reaching for toast.
nyp.33433074861992	I he with her? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861992	I hear that you take people flights for money? ” Dan nodded.
nyp.33433074861992	I love to deal with human nature, and make people do what I want. ” “ Can you? ” asked Mildred anxiously.
nyp.33433074861992	I place my life in your hands by telling you. ” “ Is it as serious as that? ” asked Laurance uneasily.
nyp.33433074861992	I suppose you are certain the perfume is the same? ” “ I ’ll swear to it.
nyp.33433074861992	I suppose, Dan, you would recognize the scent again? ” 60 THE MYSTERY QUEEN “ Oh, yes!
nyp.33433074861992	I suppose, ” said Dan darting off at a tangent, “ that you are comfortable with Lord Curberry? ” “ Oh, yes, ” assented the man, cheerfully.
nyp.33433074861992	I want to know why you rake up Moon's mur- der. ” “ Naturally you do, seeing you are engaged to the daughter. ” “ Am I?
nyp.33433074861992	I wonder what is the matter? ” “ Oh, he'll tell us when he comes back, ” replied Lil- lian, philosophically.
nyp.33433074861992	I wonder what she meant? ” Dan stretched him- self.
nyp.33433074861992	I've stayed here often. ” “ Fond of you? ” echoed Dan, with a chuckle.
nyp.33433074861992	Is Miss Moon going to see you start_ or York? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	Is anything wrong? ” “ A great deal.
nyp.33433074861992	Is she pretty? ” “ You might not think so, since Miss Moon is your ideal, ” said Freddy, with a blush.
nyp.33433074861992	Is the name in that paper? ” she asked eagerly, and leaning forward.
nyp.33433074861992	Make yourself comfortable! ” “ Do we stay at Thawley? ” asked the girl, arranging her rug.
nyp.33433074861992	May I ask why I have been brought here? ” “ We intend to make you an offer. ” “ Who we?
nyp.33433074861992	May I ask why I have been brought here? ” “ We intend to make you an offer. ” “ Who we?
nyp.33433074861992	Miss Vincent, Mil- dred. ” “ Did I mention her?
nyp.33433074861992	Moon? ” murmured Miss Armour, as though she were invoking the planet.
nyp.33433074861992	Now where did Mrs. Jarsell get it?
nyp.33433074861992	Now why should she so won- der, unless she had proofs that the said money was not come by honestly?
nyp.33433074861992	Oceans of it. ” “ Would two thousand pounds suit you? ” “ Rather.
nyp.33433074861992	Otherwise, I should not have asked you to come. ” “ Are we to meet him here? ” questioned Dan, glancing round curiously.
nyp.33433074861992	Still, in the absence of further evidence, we can do nothing. ” “ What action will you take now? ” asked Mrs. Bol- streath, quickly.
nyp.33433074861992	Suppose we enlist Mrs. Jarsell's sympathies. ” “ About the murder? ” “ No, ” said Halliday, after thinking for a moment or so.
nyp.33433074861992	THE MYSTERY QUEEN 107 “ What is the matter? ” she demanded sharply, and her face grew pale.
nyp.33433074861992	THE MYSTERY QUEEN 23 “ What's this — what's this? ” he demanded in a raucous voice.
nyp.33433074861992	That's all I know. ” “ Did you see any one strike him? ” “ No, I did n't.
nyp.33433074861992	The Vulcan Hotel?
nyp.33433074861992	The motor- car waits, Miss Moon. ” “ Where is my father? ” asked Lillian irrelevantly.
nyp.33433074861992	The name is not given. ” “ But why did Queen Beelzebub wish my father to belong to the gang? ” asked Lillian, with natural per- plexity.
nyp.33433074861992	The one girl in the world for you? ” “ Oh, bosh! ” Freddy colored, and looked pleasantly embarrassed.
nyp.33433074861992	Then I escorted her home — ” “ To Hillshire?
nyp.33433074861992	Then she- she —"“ Queen Beelzebub you mean? ” “ Curse her, yes.
nyp.33433074861992	There is always a great deal to be done, when one knows how to set about the doing. ” “ As how? ” questioned the young man, somewhat puz- zled.
nyp.33433074861992	There's no perfume, anyhow. ” “ And no fly? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861992	To me?
nyp.33433074861992	To- mor- row we go to Sheepeak. ” “ Where is that? ” “ Some miles from Thawley.
nyp.33433074861992	Was there any fly found on Penn's body, or was there mention of any scent? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861992	Well? ” The lovers looked at one another and sighed.
nyp.33433074861992	Well? ” “ Well, ” echoed Dan dully, and reflected with his sad eyes on the carpet.
nyp.33433074861992	Well? ” “ Well, ” echoed the woman, passing over his remark with a sneer.
nyp.33433074861992	What about the scent? ” Dan sniffed as he spoke and then bent his nose to the dead man.
nyp.33433074861992	What had I done to her that she should rob me of my dear, kind father? ” and she cried bitterly in her old friend's tender arms.
nyp.33433074861992	What have you to say to it? ” “ That murder of Sir Charles Moon. ” Halliday quivered with surprise.
nyp.33433074861992	What have you to say? ” “ I think you're horrid, ” snapped Lillian, in a school- girl manner, “ as if my money mattered.
nyp.33433074861992	What objection have you to the match? ” “ The same objection as my brother had, Mr. Halliday.
nyp.33433074861992	What should be wrong? ” Mrs. Pelgrin became more violent than ever.
nyp.33433074861992	What took place in the meantime? ” “ Obviously the violent death of Sir Charles, ” faltered the secretary.
nyp.33433074861992	What we? ” “ The members of the Society of Flies, of which I am the head. ” “ H'm, I understand.
nyp.33433074861992	What? ” Laurance puffed a blue cloud, sat down astride a chair and leaned his arms on the back.
nyp.33433074861992	When are we to go? ” “ This afternoon, ” repeated Mildred, nodding brightly, “ I really think something may come of the visit, Mr. Halliday.
nyp.33433074861992	When is the wedding to be? ” “ You consent? ” cried Lillian opening her eyes widely.
nyp.33433074861992	When is the wedding to be? ” “ You consent? ” cried Lillian opening her eyes widely.
nyp.33433074861992	Why did you come? ” she asked again.
nyp.33433074861992	Why did you tell me? ” “ Because, ” said Dan, ironically, “ I look upon you as a friend. ” Mrs. Jarsell's face cleared and she smiled.
nyp.33433074861992	Why do you ask?
nyp.33433074861992	Why do you come and bother me when I do n't want you? ” “ Because my wants are to be considered.
nyp.33433074861992	Why not ask her straight out? ” “ No, ” said Dan decisively.
nyp.33433074861992	Why not try a fly with me? ” “ Oh! ” Penn shrank back.
nyp.33433074861992	Why should she?
nyp.33433074861992	Why should the members murder poor people? ” “ Folks have been murdered by way of revenge, as well as for money.
nyp.33433074861992	Why, at this late hour, do you wish to rake up stale news?
nyp.33433074861992	Why? ” Freddy, through sheer absence of mind, flung away a half- smoked cigarette and lighted another.
nyp.33433074861992	Yes? ” “ I met her a year ago in London – Regent Street, to be precise as to locality.
nyp.33433074861992	Yet if you do n't move, what is to be done? ” “ Well, ” said Dan, after a pause, “ I have a month to think matters out.
nyp.33433074861992	Yet why should he not do so, should Mrs. Jarsell's do- ings be entirely honest?
nyp.33433074861992	You are all witnesses, gentlemen, that a fly was found near the wound which caused Sir Charles Moon's death. ” “ And the scent?
nyp.33433074861992	You do n't mind my smoking while you eat? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074861992	You got my wire? ” “ Yes, and I fancied this tumble must be the work of the gang. ” “ Not a bit of it.
nyp.33433074861992	You know what you have to do, you poor silly fool? ” “ Yes, ” sighed Mrs. Jarsell, and stumbled towards the door like a rebuked infant.
nyp.33433074861992	You saw her also, I believe? ” “ I was in the hall when Miss Moon went to induce her father to see the poor woman.
nyp.33433074861992	You understand about the 92 THE MYSTERY QUEEN “ Who are you, and what do you want? ” demanded the owner of the eyes crossly.
nyp.33433074861992	You will attend, Mr. Laurance? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433074861992	You will work with me to save Lillian? ” “ With all my heart and soul and body, ” cried the chaperon wildly.
nyp.33433074861992	Yours? ” “ Listen, ” said Laurance vivaciously.
nyp.33433074861992	then your Sumatra cousin is now in England? ” “ Yes!
nyp.33433074861992	those telegrams? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	what's five hundred a year? ” “ Ten pounds a week, more or less.
nyp.33433074861992	who murdered him? ” “ How do you know that Sir Charles has been mur- dered? ” asked the officer sternly.
nyp.33433074861992	who murdered him? ” “ How do you know that Sir Charles has been mur- dered? ” asked the officer sternly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ And if I refuse? ” “ You will be put to death! ” “ Now?
nyp.33433074861992	“ And if I refuse? ” “ You will be put to death! ” “ Now?
nyp.33433074861992	“ And what about this fly? ” asked the Inspector, who had heard of the question from the policeman who Lau- rance had first addressed.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Another of the murders? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Are you human beings or fiends? ” he asked, “ to think of torturing me.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Are you, then, so susceptible to scents? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Cold is it? ” and she laughed hoarsely.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Did he tell you anything? ” “ Of course he did n't.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Do n’t you find it dull here, Miss Vincent? ” asked Halliday casually.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Do n’t you know that a woman of that name called- here? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Do n’t you remember the case of Sir Charles Moon? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Do n’t you remember the murder we read about some months ago? ” replied Mrs. Jarsell heavily.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Do you like living here, Miss Vincent? ” “ Well, ” admitted Mildred, “ it is rather too quiet for my taste.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Does Mr. Penn know nothing? ” asked Halliday, doubtfully.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Does she really mean to torture me? ” he asked nervously, and it was little to be wondered at that such a prospect did make him feel sick.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Good, I'll have a shot, I may win. ” “ You will, if you use a Vincent machine. ” “ Vincent, Vincent?
nyp.33433074861992	“ Had you ever seen Mrs. Brown before? ” asked Dur- win in his imperious voice, although he lowered it in deference to her grief.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Have a cigarette and something wet?
nyp.33433074861992	“ Have you risen from the earth, or dropped from the skies?
nyp.33433074861992	“ He means that I sha n’t be asked to dinner any more. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074861992	“ Her? ” repeated Laurance, who was calmly smoking, with his feet on the opposite seat, “ what her? ” “ The her.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Her? ” repeated Laurance, who was calmly smoking, with his feet on the opposite seat, “ what her? ” “ The her.
nyp.33433074861992	“ How are you getting along, Mr. Penn? ” said Halli- day, genially.
nyp.33433074861992	“ How did you guess that, Halliday?
nyp.33433074861992	“ How the deuce can I get the kind of smell into your head?
nyp.33433074861992	“ However, I have learned something. ”- “ What have you learned? ” demanded Mrs. Bolstreath immediately.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Hullo, what's this? ” asked Dan shrewdly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ I do n't say what I could say, for what I could say would n't be what's right to say. ” “ Would n't it? ” inquired Freddy innocently.
nyp.33433074861992	“ I noticed it also. ” “ And I, ” followed on the Inspector, “ and why should we take notice of it, Mr. Halliday?
nyp.33433074861992	“ I suppose you saw that Mr. Penn is dead? ” she asked irrelevantly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ I think you must be mad to talk as you do. ” “ If I am, why not make the matter public? ” asked Dan drily.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Is Mr. Durwin dead? ” “ Durwin, ” echoed the policeman sharply, “ do you know the gentleman? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Is Mr. Durwin dead? ” “ Durwin, ” echoed the policeman sharply, “ do you know the gentleman? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Is it all right, Halliday? ” asked Durwin, nodding toward the machine.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Is there any chance of the woman who killed Sir Charles being found? ” “ No, ” replied Dan, halting for a moment.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Is this the Sumatra scent? ” he 184 THE MYSTERY QUEEN asked; “ h'm, quite a tropical fragrance.
nyp.33433074861992	“ It seems likely unless you can make a fortune equal to Lillian's. ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074861992	“ May I look at the body? ” asked Dan approaching the desk, and, on receiving an affirmative reply from Dur- win, bent over the dead.
nyp.33433074861992	“ No one insists here, ” said the un- known speaker, “ all obey. ” “ Who is it that all obey? ” demanded the prisoner un- dauntedly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ No one is I can trust her. ” “ Trust who? ” asked Dan innocently.
nyp.33433074861992	“ No, Mr. Halliday, how can I guess your thoughts? ” “ I was thinking of the murder of your late employer, ” said Dan straightly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Nothing wrong? ” asked Laurance, hurrying up.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Now what's the meaning of all that chatter? ” he asked, staring at Dan.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Oh, what is it, what is it? ” “ You must be silent about what I tell you. ” “ Of course I shall.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Prepare for death. ” “ And if I speak to the police in the meantime? ” asked Dan yawning.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Rather selfish, is n't it? ” “ People will only work for self, and to those who labor for us we give all that they wish for.
nyp.33433074861992	“ She P Who? ” “ The she- devil who presides over the Society of Flies.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Sir Charles at dinner said something about dangerous people. ” “ What did he say? ” asked the Inspector and again opened his note- book.
nyp.33433074861992	“ So who say? ” he inquired phlegmatically.
nyp.33433074861992	“ So you have learned something since I have been away? ” “ Several things.
nyp.33433074861992	“ So you took the poison? ” said Halliday, wondering how he could manage to evade being shot and summon a doctor.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Was your machine tampered with? ” asked Freddy in a breathless manner, and the second almost the door was closed.
nyp.33433074861992	“ We shall see Mrs. Jarsell and Miss Armour this afternoon. ” “ Who is Miss Armour? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Well, and am I not one of the servants?
nyp.33433074861992	“ Well, can you get me some? ” “ No, ” said Penn coolly; “ I can not.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Well, if Curberry does favor this Society of Flies, who knows what I may discover?
nyp.33433074861992	“ Well? ” asked Halliday, raising his eyebrows.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Well? ” asked Mrs. Bolstreath, impatiently.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Well? ” “ I love her, ” was all that Dan could find to say.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What do you know of Mrs. Brown, Mr. Halliday? ” he demanded ab- ruptly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What do you know of my literary ambitions? ” he asked doubt- fully.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What do you make of it all, Freddy? ” asked Halliday, when he ended and relighted his pipe.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What do you mean by that exactly? ” asked Dan with considerable sharpness.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What do you mean by the next mur- der? ” he demanded sharply.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What do you mean? ” “ I should rather ask that question of you, ” said Dan drily.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What does Dan say? ” y 48 THE MYSTERY QUEEN The young man disengaged himself.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What does dad mean? ” Dan raised his handsome head and laughed as grimly as Sir Charles had done earlier.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What evidence have you to show that he died by vio- lence? ” asked Halliday.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What has a fly to do with the matter?
nyp.33433074861992	“ What have you there? ” demanded the host, advanc- ing menacingly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What is dishonor?
nyp.33433074861992	“ What is it, then? ” he asked resignedly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What is it? ” she whispered, as they walked into the entrance hall.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What is the business? ” she asked sharply.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What other thing? ” inquired Halliday, on the alert for information.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What sort of scent is it? ” “ My dear chap, you ask me to describe the impossible, ” retorted Dan, with uplifted eyebrows.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What — what — what do you want to know? ” he wailed, as the biplane dipped nearly to earth, to sweep upward in a graceful curve.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What's all this? ” he demanded hoarsely.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What's that, sir? ” asked the Inspector alertly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What's the mat- ter? ” “ I — I — I have taken poison, ” gasped Curberry, and dropped his head on his hands with a sob.
nyp.33433074861992	“ What's the matter? ” asked Lillian, making a dash at the cup and saucer to save breakage.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Where did you find me? ” he asked the cabman, put- ting his head out of the window, and noticing that he was in a well- lighted street.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Where is Mr. Vincent's machine now? ” questioned Mildred.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Where the deuce did you get this? ” he demanded hurriedly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Who are you? ” “ My name is Halliday, ” said Dan hurriedly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Who is Marcus Penn? ” “ Well, he was the secretary of Sir Charles Moon, and afterwards he was the secretary of Lord Curberry.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Who is Mrs. Jarsell? ” “ I — oh, Lord — I do n't know. ” “ You do.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Who knows anything of this? ” demanded the Inspec- tor, rising and looking at the awestruck faces of the crowd sharply.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Why should I help you to escape? ” “ Because you are a woman and not a fiend.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Why should he com- mit suicide? ” he demanded with suspicion written on every line of his clean- shaven face.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Why should you think that Penn knew of anything likely to set vour mind at rest on that point? ” Lillian cast down her eyes thoughtfully.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Why? ” “ Because Sir Charles was good to me, and I should like 72 THE MYSTERY QUEEN endure for a considerable time.
nyp.33433074861992	“ Yes? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074861992	“ You dare to say that when you have brought us to this pass? ” “ I acted in the cause of law and order, ” said Dan, boldly.
nyp.33433074861992	“ You here, Mr. Penn? ” said Dan, thus formal to mark the difference between them.
nyp.33433074879408	Why not?
nyp.33433074879408	A listener, Colonel Annesley? nyp.33433074879408 A prisoner, am I?"
nyp.33433074879408	Ah, where? nyp.33433074879408 All bound for Locarno, eh?
nyp.33433074879408	Already dressed? nyp.33433074879408 An adventuress, eh?"
nyp.33433074879408	And if I refuse, distinctly, positively, cate- gorically; if I deny your contention, and pro- test that I have nothing to tell you?
nyp.33433074879408	And might I ask,his lordship went on,"whether a certain Mrs. Blair, a lady with her child and its nurse, is staying in the hotel?"
nyp.33433074879408	And on board the steamer? nyp.33433074879408 And yet you propose to leave me to fight it out alone?
nyp.33433074879408	And you noticed nothing big, no parcel for which they were particularly concerned?
nyp.33433074879408	Are we near then? nyp.33433074879408 Are you coming?"
nyp.33433074879408	Are you making a fool of me?
nyp.33433074879408	Are you really deserting me?
nyp.33433074879408	Are you treating me fairly, chivalrously, as a gen- tleman and a man of honour should? nyp.33433074879408 Between gentlemen?
nyp.33433074879408	Between gentlemen? nyp.33433074879408 But Henriette — what is to become of her?"
nyp.33433074879408	But what was the message? nyp.33433074879408 But what will happen now?"
nyp.33433074879408	Can we have places for Lucerne?
nyp.33433074879408	Can you be at the entrance to the hotel in 264 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS a couple of hours'time? nyp.33433074879408 Come, Colonel Annesley, how long is this to go on?
nyp.33433074879408	Coming here? nyp.33433074879408 Did she let on?
nyp.33433074879408	Do you go beyond Lucerne?
nyp.33433074879408	Do you make a long stay at Geneva?
nyp.33433074879408	Do you think that you own all Switzer- land, my noble earl?
nyp.33433074879408	Domenico Falfani? nyp.33433074879408 Five hundred francs would n't tempt you to let me have a free hand for just half an hour?
nyp.33433074879408	For any time?
nyp.33433074879408	For good and all? nyp.33433074879408 From what quarter do you anticipate it?"
nyp.33433074879408	Getting anxious about me?
nyp.33433074879408	Going all the way to Brieg by road, I believe? nyp.33433074879408 Good wages, if it's a fair question?"
nyp.33433074879408	Halloa, my wily detective,he said mock- ingly;"settled it all quite to your satisfac- tion?
nyp.33433074879408	Have I not to thank you for your courtesy in the train a couple of days ago?
nyp.33433074879408	Have I seen two ladies and a child this morning? nyp.33433074879408 Have you any doubts?"
nyp.33433074879408	He expects a call?
nyp.33433074879408	Here, I say, what's all this? nyp.33433074879408 How can I when I'm satisfied he's wrong?
nyp.33433074879408	How come you here? nyp.33433074879408 How could I see it?
nyp.33433074879408	How dare you show yourself here?
nyp.33433074879408	How dare you, sir, refer to my conduct, or presume to criticize or question it?
nyp.33433074879408	How do I know? nyp.33433074879408 How do you know I have done so?"
nyp.33433074879408	How do you know that?
nyp.33433074879408	How far may I go?
nyp.33433074879408	How is his lordship? nyp.33433074879408 How much have you overheard?"
nyp.33433074879408	How should you? nyp.33433074879408 How was I to know?"
nyp.33433074879408	I have a railway guide in my bag, shall I fetch it?
nyp.33433074879408	I must not expect unhesitating self- sacrifice? nyp.33433074879408 I shall not disappoint you,"was what I said, and, in a firm assured voice, added,''You have resolved then to travel forward in this train?"
nyp.33433074879408	If I promise to do all that will you prom- ise not to give me away? nyp.33433074879408 In chokey?
nyp.33433074879408	In here?
nyp.33433074879408	In there?
nyp.33433074879408	Including the Earl of Blackadder, I pre- sume? nyp.33433074879408 Is it your own, or did you find it or annex it from next door?
nyp.33433074879408	Is that of much consequence? nyp.33433074879408 Is there another train soon?"
nyp.33433074879408	It means, I suppose,suggested l'Echelle,"that you will make for Milan, too?"
nyp.33433074879408	It's a bargain, then; I can count upon the cash? nyp.33433074879408 It's the best, is n't it?
nyp.33433074879408	Know what, Henriette? nyp.33433074879408 Lady?
nyp.33433074879408	Lausanne or Ouchy? nyp.33433074879408 Ma foi, yes, I believe so; or was it to Ouchy?"
nyp.33433074879408	May I ask, please, whether you were to be- lieve in me or not?
nyp.33433074879408	May I look?
nyp.33433074879408	May I venture to ask your counsel and help? nyp.33433074879408 Monsieur, monsieur, will you believe it?
nyp.33433074879408	Now, are you quite positive it was the two o'clock going that way, and not the quarter past two returning from Geneva?
nyp.33433074879408	On your high horse, eh? nyp.33433074879408 Philpotts?
nyp.33433074879408	Places?
nyp.33433074879408	Surely I am not mistaken?
nyp.33433074879408	The 2.15?
nyp.33433074879408	The Earl of Blackadder? nyp.33433074879408 Then on what do you condemn me?
nyp.33433074879408	Then you are willing to take it so, to put the best construction on what you have heard, to forget my words, to surrender your suspi- cions?
nyp.33433074879408	There is a limit, then, to your devotion?
nyp.33433074879408	To Lucerne or further?
nyp.33433074879408	To join us in the watching? nyp.33433074879408 To the East?
nyp.33433074879408	To whom are you speaking, sir?
nyp.33433074879408	We ought to go on, you think? nyp.33433074879408 Well, how have you fared?
nyp.33433074879408	Well, why not? nyp.33433074879408 Well, why not?"
nyp.33433074879408	What are we to do now?
nyp.33433074879408	What are we to do, Philpotts?
nyp.33433074879408	What brings you up here?
nyp.33433074879408	What do you mean to do? nyp.33433074879408 What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074879408	What do you think of this? nyp.33433074879408 What does my lord say?"
nyp.33433074879408	What is taking you to Lake Maggioret How about your service on the car?
nyp.33433074879408	What is this?
nyp.33433074879408	What is to be done? nyp.33433074879408 What shall I say, Colonel Annesley, and what will you think of me?"
nyp.33433074879408	What time was it?
nyp.33433074879408	What was your regiment?
nyp.33433074879408	What would his lordship say? nyp.33433074879408 What's come to you, ma'am?
nyp.33433074879408	What's wrong? nyp.33433074879408 Where have we met?"
nyp.33433074879408	Where is he? nyp.33433074879408 Where is he?"
nyp.33433074879408	Who and what was he? nyp.33433074879408 Who are you to prevent me?
nyp.33433074879408	Why does he choose this hotel of all others?
nyp.33433074879408	Why drive me to that?
nyp.33433074879408	Why is that, if I may ask?
nyp.33433074879408	Why not?
nyp.33433074879408	Why should I be at her beck and call? nyp.33433074879408 Why should they want to make us their vic- tims?
nyp.33433074879408	Will monsieur come?
nyp.33433074879408	Will you give me your hand on it?
nyp.33433074879408	Will you?
nyp.33433074879408	Without conditions?
nyp.33433074879408	You admit there are such appearances? nyp.33433074879408 You can not surely refuse me?
nyp.33433074879408	You do n't agree?
nyp.33433074879408	You do not mind, monsieur? nyp.33433074879408 You expect to be pursued, I presume?"
nyp.33433074879408	You imply that I have no conscience, or that I should feel the qualms, the prickings of conscience?
nyp.33433074879408	You saw them?
nyp.33433074879408	You think we can go on, that it's safe, even in this empty train? nyp.33433074879408 You, too, are going beyond Lausanne?"
nyp.33433074879408	Your own master then?
nyp.33433074879408	103 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"Was ist das?
nyp.33433074879408	107 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS it A lady, handsome, tall, distinguished, comme il faut, with a companion, a servant, a nurse carrying a child?"
nyp.33433074879408	151 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS to the clerk,"that Mrs. Blair is still in the hotel?
nyp.33433074879408	182 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"Where is she?"
nyp.33433074879408	200 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"Well, why should n't he?
nyp.33433074879408	229 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"And leave me without protection, with all I have at stake?
nyp.33433074879408	23 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"And pray what does'my lady'want with me?"
nyp.33433074879408	24 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"You call yourself an officer, a colonel?
nyp.33433074879408	30 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"And my actions, I presume?"
nyp.33433074879408	46 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"What has happened?
nyp.33433074879408	4;hat noble sportsman?
nyp.33433074879408	88 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS"A bit ugly, eh?
nyp.33433074879408	Ah, your own; and what have you to do with her?"
nyp.33433074879408	Am I a humbug, an impostor, an adventuress, a pup- 28 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS pet and play- actress?
nyp.33433074879408	Am I right in supposing we are to be fellow travel- lers by the Engadine express?"
nyp.33433074879408	And how much the better should we be?
nyp.33433074879408	And you?
nyp.33433074879408	Are n't you afraid you may fall off or get knocked off?"
nyp.33433074879408	At any rate, I am not worth robbing, are you?
nyp.33433074879408	Become one of us, belong to a gang of thieves, liable like the rest of us to the law?
nyp.33433074879408	Besides — money is all powerful in this venal country — how could I pay, a poor devil like me, the necessary price?
nyp.33433074879408	But how can I keep him after that wicked decision of the Court, and with such a persistent enemy as Ralph Blackadder?
nyp.33433074879408	But if you feel like that, why not wait?
nyp.33433074879408	But what did I know of her real character?
nyp.33433074879408	But whether she was bound to Lausanne or Ouchy,"diable, who could say?"
nyp.33433074879408	Ca n't be pos- sible?
nyp.33433074879408	Ca n't you see?
nyp.33433074879408	Call in the gendarmes at the next station?
nyp.33433074879408	Can I have no privacy?
nyp.33433074879408	Can I still count upon your help?"
nyp.33433074879408	Can he describe them to me?"
nyp.33433074879408	Can you forgive me?'
nyp.33433074879408	Can you join me at either end — Brieg or Domo Dos- sola?
nyp.33433074879408	Can- not I go across to the station before them and hide in some compartment specially reserved for us?"
nyp.33433074879408	Could I find bail?
nyp.33433074879408	Could I see her?
nyp.33433074879408	Could this be really so?
nyp.33433074879408	Did I think justice was to be bought in Swit- zerland?
nyp.33433074879408	Do you believe that?"
nyp.33433074879408	Do you know who she is or was, anyway?"
nyp.33433074879408	Do you object?
nyp.33433074879408	Do you repent already?"
nyp.33433074879408	Do you?"
nyp.33433074879408	Does he propose to make a lengthened stay here?"
nyp.33433074879408	Does monsieur, tell me quickly, I — I — beg — know them?
nyp.33433074879408	Done with Bradshaw — sent off your wires?
nyp.33433074879408	English?
nyp.33433074879408	Ever been to Locarno before, Mr. Fal- fani?
nyp.33433074879408	Falfani?"
nyp.33433074879408	Give me into custody?
nyp.33433074879408	Going in which direction?"
nyp.33433074879408	Had they separated, these two women, for good and all?
nyp.33433074879408	Had they sold me completely?
nyp.33433074879408	Have I not told you that already?
nyp.33433074879408	Have me taken red- handed with the — stolen property — the'swag,'you know the word, perhaps, in my possession?"
nyp.33433074879408	Have n't you come here?"
nyp.33433074879408	Have you any idea what that woman — that lady,"I corrected myself, for his eyes flashed,"has done?"
nyp.33433074879408	Have you any idea?"
nyp.33433074879408	Have you any special reason for fearing thieves?
nyp.33433074879408	Have you heard any more from Tiler?"
nyp.33433074879408	Have you succeeded in getting your rooms?
nyp.33433074879408	Have you taken leave of your senses?"
nyp.33433074879408	How are you to manage it?"
nyp.33433074879408	How can you reconcile it to your conscience?"
nyp.33433074879408	How can you suggest such a hor- rid idea?
nyp.33433074879408	How could I hope to lure her pursuers away to a distance when she was here actually on the spot, and might be run into at any moment?
nyp.33433074879408	How could I withhold my countenance if she were in real distress?
nyp.33433074879408	How dare you judge me without knowing the facts, without a shadow of proof?"
nyp.33433074879408	How dare you, how dare you say such things?
nyp.33433074879408	How do I differ from the rest of — your world, let us call it?"
nyp.33433074879408	How do you like that, eh?"
nyp.33433074879408	How is it that I find this chap in my compartment?
nyp.33433074879408	How long does it take, have you any idea, and how do you travel?"
nyp.33433074879408	How long does my lord mean to stay here?
nyp.33433074879408	How many, may I ask?"
nyp.33433074879408	How much would it take to buy him?
nyp.33433074879408	How so?"
nyp.33433074879408	How soon shall you know?
nyp.33433074879408	How was I to class her?
nyp.33433074879408	How was I to shake him off now I saw that he was determined to stick to me?
nyp.33433074879408	How will you like that?
nyp.33433074879408	How?"
nyp.33433074879408	I am acting for''"Yes?"
nyp.33433074879408	I had resolved he should not find us, but where else should we go?
nyp.33433074879408	I have told you so already; did you not hear?"
nyp.33433074879408	I met his eye as soon as I could, and, in answer to my inquiring glance, he came over to me and whispered:"Do n't you see?
nyp.33433074879408	I ran off without a word, did n't I?
nyp.33433074879408	I sent you out to recover my child, and what have you done?
nyp.33433074879408	I suppose he can be spared, Falfani?"
nyp.33433074879408	I think about 6 p. m.""Will that not lose time?"
nyp.33433074879408	I was so sorry for her: how could I cast her off?
nyp.33433074879408	I wish — I wish""That you had never done it?"
nyp.33433074879408	In here?"
nyp.33433074879408	Is it gen- erous, chivalrous, to desert a poor woman in her extremity?"
nyp.33433074879408	Is that reasonable?
nyp.33433074879408	Is that the name he has given you?"
nyp.33433074879408	Is that your own or a'purser's'name?
nyp.33433074879408	It is you, then?
nyp.33433074879408	It was rather a bore to be put on to her in the way of business; but why should I not get a little pleasure out of it if I could?
nyp.33433074879408	It would be a very serious mat- ter if — if""The contrary was the case,"I wanted to say, yet how could I?
nyp.33433074879408	It would be about 2 p. m., would n't it, when the 113 THE PASSENGER FROM CALAIS express boat comes from Vevey and Bou- veret?"
nyp.33433074879408	Lady Claire has little Lord Asp- dale and has left you the dummy?
nyp.33433074879408	Lady Henriette then has determined to take the first train from Ambe- rieu at Have you a Bradshaw?
nyp.33433074879408	Locked in?
nyp.33433074879408	May I ask you to convey to him my deep regrets for what occurred, and my sincere wishes for his recovery?
nyp.33433074879408	Not on my account, surely?"
nyp.33433074879408	Of course you arranged that at Culoz?"
nyp.33433074879408	Oh, why is n't she here, why did I let her leave me?
nyp.33433074879408	Once more and for the last time, Henriette, will you do what I want?"
nyp.33433074879408	One of your own party, was n't he?"
nyp.33433074879408	Or is it that I have for- feited my right, my rank of gentlewoman, my position in the world, your world?"
nyp.33433074879408	Ranging up alongside I said, not without exultation:"Geneva was not so much to your taste, then?
nyp.33433074879408	Sacked, dropped out, or what?"
nyp.33433074879408	Shall I accept their bid?
nyp.33433074879408	Shall I prevent it?
nyp.33433074879408	She started for Italy; what turned her back when you followed her, and why did she come this way again?"
nyp.33433074879408	So come along, sharp's the word, see?
nyp.33433074879408	So you see''"If she goes round by Lyons to Marseilles, then, he would be at her heels, and the scheme breaks down in that respect?"
nyp.33433074879408	Some fresh trick?
nyp.33433074879408	Still at my heels?
nyp.33433074879408	Suppose the five attend- ants and the others were to combine against us?
nyp.33433074879408	Take your turn of'sentry go'— is n't that your military term?
nyp.33433074879408	That will be enough, I presume?
nyp.33433074879408	To Naples I think you said?"
nyp.33433074879408	Told you, herself?
nyp.33433074879408	Took up by the police?
nyp.33433074879408	Up or down?

nyp.33433074879408	Was it not clear that her real point was Italy?
nyp.33433074879408	Was it possible for Henriette to get off by herself?
nyp.33433074879408	Was she so old a hand, so hardened in crime, that the fears of detection, arrest, reprisals, the law and its penalties had no effect upon her?
nyp.33433074879408	Was she to be overtaken and despoiled, legally, of course, but still cruelly, separated from her own flesh and blood?
nyp.33433074879408	Was she to have no fresh air, no change of scene?

nyp.33433074879408	What can I do?"
nyp.33433074879408	What could have happened to Henriette?
nyp.33433074879408	What could this mean?
nyp.33433074879408	What do you know of it, or what led me to do it?
nyp.33433074879408	What had become of my sister and little Ralph?
nyp.33433074879408	What had he done with her?
nyp.33433074879408	What has become of that abominable woman who stole it from under your very noses?
nyp.33433074879408	What have I done?
nyp.33433074879408	What if she left without your knowing it?"
nyp.33433074879408	What next?
nyp.33433074879408	What of my first doubts and suspicions?
nyp.33433074879408	What shall I say to youf How can I tell you?'
nyp.33433074879408	What sort of a chance have you?
nyp.33433074879408	What the mischief do you mean by asking me ques- tions?
nyp.33433074879408	What though I were pawning my honour?
nyp.33433074879408	What were we driving at?
nyp.33433074879408	What would you?

nyp.33433074879408	Who could have done it?

nyp.33433074879408	Why else had she returned to Culoz by the early train directly she thought she had eluded Tiler?
nyp.33433074879408	Why have you formed such a bad opinion of me?"
nyp.33433074879408	Why indeed?
nyp.33433074879408	Why is it?"

nyp.33433074879408	Why?"

nyp.33433074879408	Would n't it be better to slip out of the train at the first station and run away?"
nyp.33433074879408	Yes?
nyp.33433074879408	You are sure?"
nyp.33433074879408	You have no reason to fear them?"

nyp.33433075744882	'At what time was that?' nyp.33433075744882 'But how do you account for Kershaw knowing all your movements?'

nyp.33433075744882	And the tramp?

nyp.33433075744882	Do you know if he was tall or short, dark or fair?
nyp.33433075744882	Do you know who that is?
nyp.33433075744882	Do you think that such a nature would hesitate a moment before committing a crime to save the loved one from the consequences of that deed? nyp.33433075744882 Have I not placed the case clearly enough before you?
nyp.33433075744882	Have you ever felt real sympathy with a criminal or a thief?
nyp.33433075744882	How did it come about that the landlord of the Torriani Hotel was brought into court at all? nyp.33433075744882 I beg your pardon?"

nyp.33433075744882	That Wethered was murdered and robbed at the very moment that he carried the will in his pocket, whilst another was being forged in its place?
nyp.33433075744882	Then you think it was mere coincidence?

nyp.33433075744882	As I said, it would be a great boon if English tradesmen studied Gotha more; but it was clever, was n't it?
nyp.33433075744882	As I was going out of the room I heard Lady Donaldson saying:"Have you managed it, my dear?"

nyp.33433075744882	Did a crooked mind really dwell in that crooked body, and were there in the world such crimes that were great enough to be deemed sublime?

nyp.33433075744882	Did that never strike you?"

nyp.33433075749584	Is there anything wrong with his girths, think you?
nyp.33433075749584	Might it not have hidden there, and been imprisoned alive in righteous retribution, by the very spring which had ministered to hate and cruelty?
nyp.33433075749584	Mr. Meredith, what can you mean?
nyp.33433075749584	Now, what will Mr. Clint allow me for that, do you suppose?
nyp.33433075749584	There was a mystery about that, too, was n't there, sir?
nyp.33433075749584	There was my father; he died 1 ten years younger than I am now; is not that strange, boy?
nyp.33433075749584	They said it was Religion up at the Hall; but they knows nothing about that; how should they?

nyp.33433075749584	Why should he have vice, man?
nyp.33433075749584	Why, what is this, Gilmore?

nyp.33433075749584	or has this old ginger- faced harridan made you her favored confidant?
nyp.33433075749584	there she stood, unconscious of my advent, beside — what?
nyp.33433075749584	what is this? ” inquired Mr. Long of one of the mounted constables.
nyp.33433075749584	what was that sound that froze the current of my blood, and set my heart beating and fluttering like the wings of a prisoned bird against its cage?
nyp.33433075749584	when I have my father?

nyp.33433075749584	“ And who is to find the money? ” inquired he.
nyp.33433075749584	“ De perditis nil nisi bonum? ” quoth I inquiringly.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Did I say “ we? ’ ” said Mr. Long, reflectively.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Did you expect to find him here? ” continued she.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Did you not cry, “ Mother, mother, ’ in your sleep, to make me think of my boy?
nyp.33433075749584	“ Do n’t you know that a real lady should take her meals in peace without being interrupted, especially after she has been beaten?
nyp.33433075749584	“ Do you mean to say that you have never been told of Jacob's Ladder?

nyp.33433075749584	“ Him?
nyp.33433075749584	“ How dare you speak such things to me? ” said he, looking round about him.
nyp.33433075749584	“ I can not carry these away with me, my good friend, I suppose? ” inquired Mr. Townshend, per- suasively.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Is it indeed so, boy? ” “ Yes, woman, upon my soul! ” Revenge accomplished what pity had failed to work.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Is not all this his? ” “ Yes; it is all his. ” “ Well, but what valuable fruit, and what enor- mous quantities of it!
nyp.33433075749584	“ Is she better, happier in your custody? ” in- quired my tutor, in a whisper, of the chair- maker.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Marmaduke, I am here, ” said I; “ Peter Meredith. ” “ I am not at Fairburn Hall, am I? ” asked he, in a hoarse whisper.
nyp.33433075749584	“ My dear young friend l ’ exclaimed he, in an excited manner, “ what on earth has happened to Sir Massingberd Heath?

nyp.33433075749584	“ Not know? ” cried my tutor.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Oh, it is you, is it? ” observed she, with a grave distinctness, in strong contrast to her late excited and mocking tones.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Oh, so you have heard of this nine hours'wonder, have you? ” returned my tutor.
nyp.33433075749584	“ That was it, was it?
nyp.33433075749584	“ Was it anything like ‘ Hel — p, hel — p? ’ ” said I, imitating as well as I could those terrible tones.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Well, Mr. Townshend, and what is your opinion? ” inquired Mr. Gerard a little impatiently.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Well, Mr. Townshend, what can I do for you? ” inquired he, sedately.
nyp.33433075749584	“ What do you speak our tongue? ” cried he.
nyp.33433075749584	“ What have you done to bring this man's vengeance upon me?
nyp.33433075749584	“ What is she to me?
nyp.33433075749584	“ What was it? ” replied the old woman sadly.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Why do n't you call him Peter, “ ºucy? ” ex- claimed her father, laughing.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Why do n't you introduce me, Rachel? ” ex- claimed she, testily, as Mr. Long looked in.

nyp.33433075749584	“ You know him, do you, sir? ” inquired our host.
nyp.33433075749584	“ You quarrelled, did you? ” remarked Mr. Town- shend, carelessly.
nyp.33433075749584	“ Your master had made no sort of preparation, so far as you know, for his own departure anywhere? ” “ None whatever.

nyp.33433074892955	But why?"
nyp.33433074892955	But you did n't see them?
nyp.33433074892955	Can you manage it?
nyp.33433074892955	Can you think why?"
nyp.33433074892955	Declare the swindle and persuade him that Sylvia was a party to it — what more likely way could be discovered for getting rid of Cap- tain Chayne?
nyp.33433074892955	Did he know that she had come down the stairs in the early morning?
nyp.33433074892955	Did he never speak of any one?"
nyp.33433074892955	Did he see you?"
nyp.33433074892955	Did no one walk the earth of all that company which went with her in her fancies?
nyp.33433074892955	Did not Pierre live on that very confu- sion?
nyp.33433074892955	Did you lose any of your first quarter's allowance to him besides the thou- sand?"
nyp.33433074892955	Do you know it, father?"
nyp.33433074892955	Do you know the Goschenen Thal?
nyp.33433074892955	Do you remember, Hilary?"
nyp.33433074892955	Do you see?"
nyp.33433074892955	Do you understand?"
nyp.33433074892955	For instance —""Yes?"
nyp.33433074892955	For what reason did Mr. Jarvice make Walter Hine an allowance?
nyp.33433074892955	From whom did he get it?"
nyp.33433074892955	Garratt Skinner looked up from his plate and said:"Can I help you, Wallie?"
nyp.33433074892955	Had Francois found his friend?
nyp.33433074892955	Had Hine been losing money lately to Captain Barstow?"
nyp.33433074892955	Had the guide come upon the actual place where the accident took place, he asked himself?
nyp.33433074892955	Had the packs been waiting in Captain Barstow's coat pocket in the hall until the fitting moment for their appearance?
nyp.33433074892955	Had there been time to think, would he have reached out his hand?
nyp.33433074892955	Had they seen her?
nyp.33433074892955	He asked abruptly of Michel:"Have you climbed this season, Michel?"
nyp.33433074892955	He moved some papers on his table, and added carelessly —"You have a good solicitor, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074892955	He rose upright, and pointing downward with one hand he said in a whisper, a whisper of awe —"Do you see, Michel?
nyp.33433074892955	Hine, what have you got in front of you?
nyp.33433074892955	His eyes were still upon Kenyon's face and he added:"What then?"
nyp.33433074892955	How shall I put it to you?"
nyp.33433074892955	How should he?"
nyp.33433074892955	I am afraid, monsieur, that he slipped out of his steps on the Glacier des Nantillons. ”"And dragged his guide with him?"
nyp.33433074892955	I could imagine them living in a chateau on a hill overlooking some tiny village in — where shall we say?"
nyp.33433074892955	I did n't. ”"Well? ” said Chayne, and now he spoke with sus- pense.
nyp.33433074892955	I just think that he left you, because you did not keep step either. ” “ Oh, he left me?
nyp.33433074892955	I think young Hine wants looking after, do n't you?
nyp.33433074892955	If so, did her father play a part in the conspiracy?
nyp.33433074892955	If so, why should they ever have come to her?
nyp.33433074892955	If you had, would you have taken so much trouble just to give them a small luxury?
nyp.33433074892955	In the shadow there?"
nyp.33433074892955	In youth to be lonely — what is it?
nyp.33433074892955	Is he coming too?
nyp.33433074892955	Is not that so, too?
nyp.33433074892955	It is your first mountain, mademoiselle?"
nyp.33433074892955	It was not altogether nice, was it?
nyp.33433074892955	Jean and his brother, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074892955	Joseph Hine's Chateau Marlay, what?
nyp.33433074892955	Just you and Garratt Skinner and the pretty daughter, with occasional visits from Bar- stow?"
nyp.33433074892955	Let us have no secrets from each other in the future?
nyp.33433074892955	No, we do n't want my name to appear at all, do we?"
nyp.33433074892955	Not I him?
nyp.33433074892955	Now, I ask you, what can you do with a daughter so absurd that she dreams of running water?"
nyp.33433074892955	Of what are you afraid?"
nyp.33433074892955	Of what use was it that she must suffer?
nyp.33433074892955	On a Sunday evening?"
nyp.33433074892955	On the very first day he had asked her to go with him and her heart cried out now:"Why did n't I go?"
nyp.33433074892955	Or did she sob?
nyp.33433074892955	Shall we?
nyp.33433074892955	She had grown in a moment hard, and her voice rang hard as she asked: “ Why do you think that your father and I parted?
nyp.33433074892955	She hardly knew indeed that they were there until Chayne standing by her asked:"You are not disappointed?"
nyp.33433074892955	She heard the 239 THE SHADOW IN THE ROOM"Were you afraid that I would n't come, Sylvia?"
nyp.33433074892955	Surprise and applause greeted this brilliant idea, and Hine cried out:"I think champagne fine, do n't you, Miss Skinner?"
nyp.33433074892955	The wall is not high; I suppose — in fact 22.-?
nyp.33433074892955	Then she said with a slight hesitation:"And you cross that pass to- day?"
nyp.33433074892955	Then she said, with a detachment perhaps slightly too marked:"We left Trouville in a hurry yesterday, did n't we?"
nyp.33433074892955	Then the laughter ceased and she said:"There will be danger?"
nyp.33433074892955	Then why does he write to me?"
nyp.33433074892955	There rose up in his mind that first helpless question of distress,"Why?"
nyp.33433074892955	Therefore you want it to be as complete as possible — is it not so?
nyp.33433074892955	They shook hands, and he asked:"Shall I see no more of you?"
nyp.33433074892955	They were perhaps two hundred feet below the ridge between the Blaitiere and the Grepon and to the left of the Col.""What time was this?"
nyp.33433074892955	Those steps which come downward across the glacier and stop exactly where the track meets them?
nyp.33433074892955	Treats his grandson handsomely into the bargain, eh, Wallie?"
nyp.33433074892955	Twelve?"
nyp.33433074892955	Two thou — here, what am I to do for it?"
nyp.33433074892955	Unless he had ascended them, or the Aiguille des Charmoz opposite — how should he know?
nyp.33433074892955	Was he merely testing her to see whether she would speak the truth or not?
nyp.33433074892955	Was his suspicion to be confirmed or disproved?
nyp.33433074892955	Was it comprehension, she wondered, or was it only patience?
nyp.33433074892955	Was it possible, Chayne asked?
nyp.33433074892955	Was she asleep?
nyp.33433074892955	Was she listening?
nyp.33433074892955	Was she to do so once more?
nyp.33433074892955	Was she to tell him what she did not know herself- why Gabriel Strood was now Garratt Skinner?
nyp.33433074892955	Was that the house, she wondered?
nyp.33433074892955	Was that to be his own fate too?
nyp.33433074892955	Was the arm poised above- the lamp, on the point of smashing it with the thing it held?
nyp.33433074892955	Was the plan abandoned altogether, now that Sylvia had stood bravely up and warned her father that she would not keep silent?
nyp.33433074892955	Well, what do you say?"
nyp.33433074892955	Well, what then? ” Sylvia started.
nyp.33433074892955	Well? ” Walter Hine yielded to Jarvice's insistence.
nyp.33433074892955	Were all her dreams mere empty imaginings?
nyp.33433074892955	What do you say to three weeks or so in Dor- setshire?
nyp.33433074892955	What do you think?"
nyp.33433074892955	What if she stayed, strengthened her hold on Walter Hine and grappled with the three who were ranged against him?
nyp.33433074892955	What is it?"
nyp.33433074892955	What is she?
nyp.33433074892955	What new thing is intended?"
nyp.33433074892955	What news would he bring of them when he came again up to the light?
nyp.33433074892955	What would I have done then?
nyp.33433074892955	What would happen?
nyp.33433074892955	What's the matter?"
nyp.33433074892955	What?"
nyp.33433074892955	When do you start?"
nyp.33433074892955	Where he lunched, for instance?"
nyp.33433074892955	Which one?"
nyp.33433074892955	Who knows?
nyp.33433074892955	Why are you afraid?"
nyp.33433074892955	Why are you angry?"
nyp.33433074892955	Why did Gabriel Strood now call himself Garratt Skinner?
nyp.33433074892955	Why had he checked himself from the kiss?
nyp.33433074892955	Why had he so clearly pitied her just now in the passage?
nyp.33433074892955	Why should I conceal it?"
nyp.33433074892955	Why should it terrify her beyond reason now?
nyp.33433074892955	Why should you be lonely?
nyp.33433074892955	Why the incident of the lighted window?
nyp.33433074892955	Why then should the pretence now so greatly trouble her?
nyp.33433074892955	Why was he displeased?
nyp.33433074892955	Why?"
nyp.33433074892955	Why?"
nyp.33433074892955	Will you be ready?"
nyp.33433074892955	Will you let me ask him?
nyp.33433074892955	Will you make this sacrifice, Sylvia?
nyp.33433074892955	Would Sylvia let her lover share the dishonor of her name?
nyp.33433074892955	Would any one of the party live to return to Courmayeur and tell the tale?
nyp.33433074892955	Would he arrive too late?
nyp.33433074892955	Would he be in time?
nyp.33433074892955	Would he be satisfied with his daughter?
nyp.33433074892955	Would they come out into the passage?
nyp.33433074892955	Would they kill her?
nyp.33433074892955	Would you have thought of those poor prisoners over ther © in the quarries?
nyp.33433074892955	Yet why should he practise conceal- ment at all?
nyp.33433074892955	You are very lonely to- night, is it not so?
nyp.33433074892955	You came one evening- do you remember?
nyp.33433074892955	You do n't want that pretty girl to see you in this state, do you, Wallie?
nyp.33433074892955	You have been going the pace a bit, have n't you?
nyp.33433074892955	You have spoken with her, monsieur, and thanked her for them?"
nyp.33433074892955	You made his acquaintance, of course?"
nyp.33433074892955	You will write?
nyp.33433074892955	he asked,"why?
nyp.33433074892955	she inquired piteously; why should she have found solace in them — why should they have become her real life?
nyp.33433074892955	“ A man?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ And why ca n't you go? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074892955	“ Are you sure?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ Beyond that Sylvia has apparently come to stay, I am rather in the dark. ”"You are Mr. Garratt Skinner? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433074892955	“ Did those fellows stay so late? ” he asked with an- noyance.
nyp.33433074892955	“ Did you meet any one last night on the mountain, at the inn?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ Did your mother send you to me?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ How did he receive it? ” Sylvia's face grew pale, and she stared at the table- cloth as though she could not for the moment trust her voice.
nyp.33433074892955	“ How much does she know?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ I do not 93 RUNNING WATER say you have his skill — how should you?
nyp.33433074892955	“ I have read of them. ” “ Really? ” cried Michel.
nyp.33433074892955	“ Is that so? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074892955	“ Oh, did he?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ Voices?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ Well? ” he re- peated.
nyp.33433074892955	“ Who is it?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ Why are you doing that?"
nyp.33433074892955	“ You have read of them- you, mademoiselle? ” There was as much pleasure as wonder in his tone.
nyp.33433074892955	“ You have that telegram from Jarvice?"
nyp.33433074936638	* But it's a empty house, sir. ” “ Empty? ” “ Holler as a bad nut.
nyp.33433074936638	- “ He died at once, you say? ” he asked, half turn- ing to the girl, who stood watching him, motion- less.
nyp.33433074936638	42 Charles Street. ” “ Are you certain? ” “ Oh, yes, sir.
nyp.33433074936638	A SUDDEN DEPARTURE 117 “ In a house at the bottom of the lane there. ” “ Well, well? ”.
nyp.33433074936638	After all, what was it to him?
nyp.33433074936638	After din- ner I found myself in Regent Street on my way home. ” “ In Regent Street? ” 138 THE SILVER PIN “ Yes.
nyp.33433074936638	Ai n't there a lump of meat in the cage where the gent is? ” A second head appeared also cautiously, and took a glance around.
nyp.33433074936638	All the players looked up and noted his action, some smiled and nodded — but Usher?
nyp.33433074936638	All the same, if she sticks to her tale, who's to say she did not?
nyp.33433074936638	And had not her words even, seemed to tell me so?
nyp.33433074936638	And his object?
nyp.33433074936638	And what was she to him?
nyp.33433074936638	And where shall I find myself?
nyp.33433074936638	And, after all, what did I expect to discover in an empty house?
nyp.33433074936638	Are you agreeable? ” “ If you like, ” Gordon assented, and the youth pushed the huge pile of chips forward with a laugh.
nyp.33433074936638	Are you sure that you your- self have suffered no ill effects from that scoundrel's shot? ” “ None at all.
nyp.33433074936638	Be- cause of of that woman?
nyp.33433074936638	Be- sides, Carlton was very rich, the girl was about to marry him, the father was agreeable — why on earth should they murder him?
nyp.33433074936638	But I know no more of him, than what I ’ve seen here. ” “ But the other men?
nyp.33433074936638	But I say, why the deuce did you drag that fellow off?
nyp.33433074936638	But does safety lie that way, even for my father?
nyp.33433074936638	But he's out of it now, anyway. ” “ But what do you think they mean to do? ” asked Gordon, as they entered the cab and drove away.
nyp.33433074936638	But who's this you've got here?
nyp.33433074936638	But why were they all put away? ” And then he thought of the girl he had found there.
nyp.33433074936638	But would you care to see my father?
nyp.33433074936638	But you know me?
nyp.33433074936638	But — then you know nothing of this?
nyp.33433074936638	By jove, if I am a fool all along; if she really did murder that man, what kind of a maniac shall I look?
nyp.33433074936638	Could he doubt, also, that the taller man of the two whom Sterrett had over- heard, was Usher?
nyp.33433074936638	Could it be true that she was to be married to this man?
nyp.33433074936638	Did it, or did it not?
nyp.33433074936638	Do you think he did the job, sir? ” “ The murder? ” “ Yes, sir. ” Gordon shook his head.
nyp.33433074936638	Do you think he did the job, sir? ” “ The murder? ” “ Yes, sir. ” Gordon shook his head.
nyp.33433074936638	Do you think you can manage here while I ’m gone, sir? ” he asked, turning to Gordon.
nyp.33433074936638	Drunk?
nyp.33433074936638	God help me, I never doubted it was she that struck the blow — how could I?
nyp.33433074936638	Good enough, is n't it? ” Gordon felt the iron limb extended to him, and knew that Usher must indeed have imagined his day had come.
nyp.33433074936638	Had he been taken by the police, or had Usher and his satellites for some purpose of their own abducted him?
nyp.33433074936638	Had he not already been deceived, bitterly deceived in her?
nyp.33433074936638	Have you THE HAPPIEST OF MEN 257 any prejudice — is there any reason why you should not marry? ” Gordon started and stared at him.
nyp.33433074936638	He called, did he? ” Gordon's heart, which had leaped for a moment, sank again.
nyp.33433074936638	He had won the victory; what was he to do with it?
nyp.33433074936638	He met the girl on the Riviera. ” “ The Riviera? ” Gordon felt himself change color.
nyp.33433074936638	He must have missed his daughter; he must have heard of this murder; how was it he had made no sign?
nyp.33433074936638	He never moved afterward. ” 22 A SELF- CONFESSED MURDERESS 23 “ Who did it? ” said Gordon.
nyp.33433074936638	He was put on to find you, and not that man. ” “ To find us?
nyp.33433074936638	He was somewhere in that street, Gordon was certain, but where?
nyp.33433074936638	He's a member, and he's free to punt, so long as he pays his money down. ” “ Do you know anything of him besides his bad luck?"
nyp.33433074936638	Hem she's not my wife, Mother Crump. ” “ Not your wife, Master George'And at this time of night?
nyp.33433074936638	How he felt that he could echo her wish himself; but Usher, what of his speech?
nyp.33433074936638	How is he now? ” Vivienne shook her head, not trusting to her voice to reply for the moment.
nyp.33433074936638	How strangel And what has Mr. Gaunt to say? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074936638	Hullo, who's this? ” Gordon turned to the door.
nyp.33433074936638	I congratulate you on your initia- tion, Captain — eh?
nyp.33433074936638	I could not believe her a murderess though — though she called herself one. ” “ Ah, she called herself one? ” “ In that moment, yes.
nyp.33433074936638	I heard where he told the cabman to go — to the place where the animals are. ” “ Are you sure? ” cried Mr. Gaunt.
nyp.33433074936638	I only saw her face, you say?
nyp.33433074936638	I sees most things that come my way. ” “ And some that do n't, eh? ” said Gordon, smiling, and trying to speak carelessly.
nyp.33433074936638	I was put on the job. ” “ Well? ” “ Well, I found'em.
nyp.33433074936638	I was the cause; is there any doubt?
nyp.33433074936638	I wonder what your price is, and how much you know? ” And he watched Sterrett for a moment curiously.
nyp.33433074936638	I'll go down- stairs and have a smoke. ” “ Had n't you better go to bed, too, Master George?
nyp.33433074936638	If he had only a week before him, and this man against him, already at Vivienne's door, what hope could there be?
nyp.33433074936638	Innocent of the murder, perhaps: but what was she doing in these rooms at that hour?
nyp.33433074936638	Is it the police, or —? ” “ Or Jeff and his pals, sir?
nyp.33433074936638	Is it the police, or —? ” “ Or Jeff and his pals, sir?
nyp.33433074936638	Is she thinking of that scene, I wonder? ” He bent his ear over the murmuring lips.
nyp.33433074936638	Is she worse? ” “ She has gone, sir! ” “ Gone l ’ ” “ Gone, sir!
nyp.33433074936638	It is empty, of course; but still, if it's empty, why on earth should Usher come all this way to see it?
nyp.33433074936638	It is just possible I may go out again. ” “ Go out again? ” echoed the old lady.
nyp.33433074936638	It must have been. ” “ Well, what then? ” The man pondered a moment, and then shrug- ging his shoulders, mounted his box.
nyp.33433074936638	It was true; where could the ex- corporal have got to?
nyp.33433074936638	Let's hope that chap who's just gone do n't put them on 1 Can you walk, sir? ” he asked, turning to Mr. Gaunt.
nyp.33433074936638	Meanwhile, may I hope that all is well with you? ” “ Quite well, thank you, ” she replied.
nyp.33433074936638	Mr. Gaunt had disappeared, there was not a doubt of it; but how 2 Had he gone quietly, of his own accord?
nyp.33433074936638	No, there is only one chance for us. ” “ And that? ” “ The man was engaged to marry. ”, Gordon started, but held his breath.
nyp.33433074936638	Now, money's a very useful thing, ai n't it, sir? ” “ Very. ” “ Yes, sir, money's a very useful thing.
nyp.33433074936638	Oh, Bill Smith, it's you, is it?
nyp.33433074936638	Oh, the man?
nyp.33433074936638	She had not committed that deed, she could not have done it, for did not her letter say as much?
nyp.33433074936638	Should he make a rush for it, while there was still time, while he had only one man to deal with?
nyp.33433074936638	So I came for you. ” “ And he is safe — unhurt? ” “ He ’s a bit knocked about, Jeff says.
nyp.33433074936638	Someone's got to win, and why not you?
nyp.33433074936638	The question is, who has done it?
nyp.33433074936638	The young lady. ” “ Yes? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074936638	Then the voice spoke again: “ Where's the tiger? ” Gordon peered out through the bars of the cage.
nyp.33433074936638	Then you too think — ” “ Think?
nyp.33433074936638	There is nothing you want? ” “ Nothing but good news, ” returned Gaunt.
nyp.33433074936638	There's a turn of the eyelid — good lord — Usher — her — of course! ” “ Usher?
nyp.33433074936638	This beastly murder's the particular cause, or, rather, the last straw. ” “ Which murder? ” “ Which?
nyp.33433074936638	This beastly murder's the particular cause, or, rather, the last straw. ” “ Which murder? ” “ Which?
nyp.33433074936638	This is a case of sudden shock, I suppose?
nyp.33433074936638	Usher's appearance, and his connection with these street ruffians, had nearly ended fatally for himself: did it bode evil also for Vivienne's father?
nyp.33433074936638	Usher; he said he was her fiancé. ” “ Usher?
nyp.33433074936638	Usher? ” The proprietor grunted.
nyp.33433074936638	Was it LJsher? ” XVII A SUDDEN DEPARTURE* N THE morning Gordon was awakened by a hurried tapping at his door.
nyp.33433074936638	Was it because of her?
nyp.33433074936638	Was it possible that he had tracked Gordon to that house, and that this attack was but the sequel to the affair of the revolver?
nyp.33433074936638	Was it true?
nyp.33433074936638	What a sweet, pretty, innocent, young thing. ” “ Innocent?
nyp.33433074936638	What are you doing now?
nyp.33433074936638	What does this mean? ” she asked haughtily.
nyp.33433074936638	What more does a lawyer want to know?
nyp.33433074936638	What of her? ” asked George.
nyp.33433074936638	What the devil do you mean? ” The big man had struggled to his feet, and came to Gordon.
nyp.33433074936638	What's the penalty?
nyp.33433074936638	What?
nyp.33433074936638	When did she go, and how? ” “ Well, sir, she must have gone at daybreak.
nyp.33433074936638	Where have they gone? ” Quickly and carefully he made an investigation of the apartment.
nyp.33433074936638	Where indeed was she P and what could he say to her father which could com- fort him P “ Where is she?
nyp.33433074936638	Where is Vivienne? ” reiterated Gaunt.
nyp.33433074936638	Where is he? ” The girl looked at him for a moment with the calmness of an unutterable despair in her lovely eyes.
nyp.33433074936638	Where is your hat?
nyp.33433074936638	Who could have done it but she?
nyp.33433074936638	Who did? ” Miss Gaunt was silent, staring at him with wide- opened, frightened eyes.
nyp.33433074936638	Who lives in Regent Street?
nyp.33433074936638	Who was it?
nyp.33433074936638	Who's your fat friend?
nyp.33433074936638	Why do n't I? ” he asked himself, gazing around the room, and back again at the prostrate girl, who was commencing to move restlessly.
nyp.33433074936638	Why do you look at me like that, and say nothing? ” she cried wildly.
nyp.33433074936638	Why trouble about me, sir?
nyp.33433074936638	Why, was not that why he was there at all?
nyp.33433074936638	Why, what- ever is happening? ” “ Nothing much, the worst's over now.
nyp.33433074936638	Why, wherever have you come from? ” “ Not far.
nyp.33433074936638	Will you come? ” And they turned into the Pentonville Road.
nyp.33433074936638	Will you go and ask her? ” Gordon shook his head, but the man's tone told him his ground was sure, and he felt his heart sink heavily.
nyp.33433074936638	Will you kindly explain? ” “ I must, I suppose, ” Gordon returned.
nyp.33433074936638	Will you leave your name? ” “ I will come back about lunch- time, ” said Gor- don hurriedly.
nyp.33433074936638	Will you try, sir?
nyp.33433074936638	Without the detective's valuable aid what might not have happened?
nyp.33433074936638	Would the gambler follow him and shoot?
nyp.33433074936638	XXVII THE TIGER'S CAGE|HAT has happened? ” he asked, as they reached the street, where he saw that Sterrett had a cab in waiting.
nyp.33433074936638	Yes, she's innocent, mother, I'm sure she is; but, bah, what am I talking about?
nyp.33433074936638	You ai n't hurt badly, are you? ” Gordon rubbed himself all over, and wiped away the blood from his face.
nyp.33433074936638	You are not, it was accident that you came? ” she murmured, taking the pin which George held out to her and fixing her dark eyes on his.
nyp.33433074936638	You are wounded? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074936638	You can guess what I mean — what do you think? ” Gordon nodded.
nyp.33433074936638	You have gone back to the pol — to your old trade, I sup- pose? ” CORPORAL STERRETT 167 “ Yes, sir; I have gone back.
nyp.33433074936638	You know me? ” The doctor laughed.
nyp.33433074936638	You will understand, you will forgive me, when I ask you to — ” “ To bring you news of Miss Gaunt?
nyp.33433074936638	You're a detective, I suppose, are n't you? ” Gordon started.
nyp.33433074936638	You've seen me some- where before?
nyp.33433074936638	Your coat? ” For a moment there was a struggle; for a mo- ment, shaken with hysteria, the girl fought on; but Gordon held her powerless.
nyp.33433074936638	eh P ” “ Why not?'
nyp.33433074936638	her?
nyp.33433074936638	is it possible that he was hiding anything from me, that he did not know where she had fled to, that she has taken some rash and desperate resolve?
nyp.33433074936638	it is not in your power, or in the power of anyone to undo what has once been done — but of what use to talk more of it?
nyp.33433074936638	my daughter, for God's sake, tell me about my daughter! ” “ Your daughter is safe. ” “ Where?'
nyp.33433074936638	no friends? ” “ Well, of course he had, but they are of no use to us.
nyp.33433074936638	soine friend and found him gone?
nyp.33433074936638	that to win her, or to keep her, the gambler might have employed some deceit or treachery which had deceived them?
nyp.33433074936638	what are you doing here? ” he cried, oblivious to the fact that Gordon had just assisted in saving his life.
nyp.33433074936638	why?
nyp.33433074936638	“ An empty house, sir? ” said Sterrett, as they ap- proached the front, and the broken windows and curtainless rooms commenced to show up.
nyp.33433074936638	“ And no one else? ” “ No one, but the dead man.
nyp.33433074936638	“ And what could they want to knock me out for? ” he asked quietly.
nyp.33433074936638	“ And would you like to close it on me?
nyp.33433074936638	“ And yet you do n't like the work? ” he said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Another woman? ” he said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Billy, where's he live? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074936638	“ But arrest you?
nyp.33433074936638	“ But she is staying here? ” Gordon said quickly.
nyp.33433074936638	“ But what do you mean about the six months? ” “ Why, the man had only been in Europe six months.
nyp.33433074936638	“ But why?
nyp.33433074936638	“ But you do n't 78 THE SILVER PIN “ No history?
nyp.33433074936638	“ But, oh, by the way, I want to get in here. ” 54 THE SILVER PIN “ You do?
nyp.33433074936638	“ By it sat a young girl? ” repeated Gaunt.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Call the police? ” Gaunt nodded.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Can I order anything for you? ” “ Thank you, sir, I have told the waiter.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Colonel Gordon, will you answer me a question, and will you forgive a dying man for asking it?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Do you arrogate to yourself the right to choose Miss Gaunt's visitors for her? ” THE ARROGANT VISITOR 101 he asked.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Do you think I am such a fool as to be taken quietly?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Engaged? ” “ Yes, his letters show that.
nyp.33433074936638	“ From your cellar in Minden Lane, in fact. ” “ Ah! ” said Usher, his green eyes meeting Gor- don's venomously, “ from Minden Lane?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Go out again?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Has he passed? ” he asked at last, in a whisper.
nyp.33433074936638	“ How the devil do you come here? ” Sterrett allowed Gordon to pass, and quietly closed the door.
nyp.33433074936638	“ I am not so sure of that, sir, ” he said, “ it will take him all his time. ” “ Why, what do you mean? ” asked Gordon.
nyp.33433074936638	“ I do n't know, sir, ” he 180 THE SILVER PIN “ And the other? ” asked Gordon quickly.
nyp.33433074936638	“ I hope noth- ing has happened to him. ” “ Is it possible that he can have seen Usher again? ” said Mr. Gaunt.
nyp.33433074936638	“ I hope you are getting on well, Sterrett, my man? ” he said at last.
nyp.33433074936638	“ I mean to be kind, certainly, ” he said, “ but am I sympathetic to you?
nyp.33433074936638	“ I wonder which will give in first? ” he thought.
nyp.33433074936638	“ I ’ve nothing at all to do with the police. ” “ Not? ” said the big man quickly.
nyp.33433074936638	“ In my house, without my permission? ” con- tinued Gordon sternly.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Is Miss Gaunt at home? ” he asked the maid who opened the door.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Is it so bad? ” he said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Is there anything wrong with him P ” “ Wrong?
nyp.33433074936638	“ It was empty? ” he asked quickly.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Live?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Miss Gaunt, ” he said, “ you can not be thinking of leaving yet?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Now will you kindly tell me your business, and why — why you are coming down my stairs? ” Usher nodded easily.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Ought I to listen? ” he thought.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Safe?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Shall I? ” “ You may, ” she returned, with her eyes still on his.
nyp.33433074936638	“ So you've lost him after all, have you, sir? ” he said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Sterrett? ” he said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ The particular cause?
nyp.33433074936638	“ The young lady, sir, ” she said breathlessly, “ the poor young lady! ” “ Yes, yes?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Then what the devil were you knocking me about for?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Usher?
nyp.33433074936638	“ What are you doing here?
nyp.33433074936638	“ What are you doing here? ” he said roughly, a hundryd wild theories crossing his brain.
nyp.33433074936638	“ What do you want?
nyp.33433074936638	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433074936638	“ What is it? ” he asked over his shoulder, evi- dently taking the new comer for some servant of the hotel.
nyp.33433074936638	“ What of her? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074936638	“ What of you? ” “ Do n’t think of me!
nyp.33433074936638	“ What the deuce did anyone come into an empty house to smoke a cigarette for, ” he wondered, “ and why bread?
nyp.33433074936638	“ What ’s he like? ” he said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ What's who like?
nyp.33433074936638	“ What?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Who did it? ” repeated Gordon.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why did I do it? ” he stammered at last.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why did n't you call the police? ” Gordon started.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why did you let him escape?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why do you think they went for you, sir? ” he said at last.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why have you removed your photographs? ” I said.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why is that? ” Sterrett's grim lips relaxed a little, and he turned to Gordon.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why should she not be?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why, he knows the house where she is even; they have their hands on her Buy him?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why, the front door is open What can have happened? ” With a spring, he left Sterrett's side and ran up the steps.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Why? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Yes, sir; the young lady's father, I suppose? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074936638	“ Yes, what of the future?
nyp.33433074936638	“ Yes, why?
nyp.33433074936638	“ You are hurt?
nyp.33433074936638	“ You are looking for the knife: your knife?
nyp.33433074936638	“ ‘ Good God, ” he said, ‘ what's this? ’ “ But the girl left him no time to speak.
nyp.33433074936638	“ ‘ Then you throw me over? ” he cried furiously.
nyp.33433075749774	124 The Cruise of the Conqueror “ What has happened, Jim? ” she asked, anxiously.
nyp.33433075749774	270 The Cruise of the Conqueror “ Forgive what? ” queried my wife, artlessly.
nyp.33433075749774	Anyhow, with her and the Challenger we ought to stand a chance of cut- ting off the Pirate. ” “ The Challenger? ” I questioned in surprise.
nyp.33433075749774	But the motor- 306 308 The Cruise of the Conqueror sure of capturing the man Mannering?
nyp.33433075749774	Can you help me, Sutgrove? ” He turned to me.
nyp.33433075749774	Could you not manage to pick up the Mist? ” My suggestion commended itself to my friend.
nyp.33433075749774	Did he go mad or what? ” I explained exactly what he had said, and gave Withington my own impressions on the subject while I dressed.
nyp.33433075749774	Do n’t you think you had better hurry home?
nyp.33433075749774	Do you choose to accept my instructions, or must I sink your ship for you? ” The captain groaned.
nyp.33433075749774	Do you know, Sutgrove, during the time when I ought to be asleep I am not quite sure whether I have not been envying the Motor Pirate?
nyp.33433075749774	How do you think he ex- plained? ” asked my wife, pausing for a moment.
nyp.33433075749774	I suppose we want no better proof that Mannering and his confederates have passed this way? ” I said, turning to Withington.
nyp.33433075749774	I suppose you did not see? ” “ No, ” I replied.
nyp.33433075749774	I would be there sooner, but I shall have much to do. ” “ You will look after Evie — Mrs. Sutgrove, while here? ” I queried anxiously.
nyp.33433075749774	If there is one thing I hate it is a melancholy prisoner. ”- “ Why should n’t I laugh, Forrest? ” I remarked quietly.
nyp.33433075749774	If ye leave him too long he might discover some chance of escaping forbye. ” “ Then you have seen him?
nyp.33433075749774	Indeed, who in this twentieth century, being the recipient of the following epistle, would be disposed to pay the slightest attention to it?
nyp.33433075749774	It was obvious to my mind that he had come to Barcelona to meet the Mary. ” “ And had he? ” asked Withington, eagerly.
nyp.33433075749774	Juan. ” “ Well? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	No doubt you are comfortable, but this? ” — he made a gesture of disdain—“this is nothing to the luxury in which I can place you.
nyp.33433075749774	Rising us fast. ” “ What about luck now? ” shouted Withington as he made for the bridge.
nyp.33433075749774	She was not classed at Lloyd's, so that I guessed she must have been purchased abroad and her name changed. ” “ What was she called? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	Sutgrove, what is the use of trying that sort of bluff upon me?
nyp.33433075749774	That surely could not be the Mary?
nyp.33433075749774	Then he added: “ Are you quite sure of his identity?
nyp.33433075749774	Then the puir body's not dead?
nyp.33433075749774	There was only one means of finding out whether there was anything in them, and I came on here. ” “ Well? ” asked Withington and I in a breath.
nyp.33433075749774	Twenty thousand! ” “ And what chance would there be of the bill being met? ” asked Mannering.
nyp.33433075749774	What for is Mrs. Sutgrove a- greetin ’ at Dover if she hasna'cause?
nyp.33433075749774	What for is all this pother you are making? ” The expression on his face as he looked from one to the other was comical in the extreme.
nyp.33433075749774	What happened to him?
nyp.33433075749774	What need is there to mention my name in connection with it?
nyp.33433075749774	What shall I be worth when you have robbed me of my property?
nyp.33433075749774	What was that? ” said Withington.
nyp.33433075749774	Whatever shall we do, father?
nyp.33433075749774	Where is he? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	Wherein My Ghost Walks 109 “ Content? ” he repeated scornfully.
nyp.33433075749774	Why chain yourself to a dull round of petty conven- tions and faded sensations when a new life awaits you?
nyp.33433075749774	Why not try Minorca first?
nyp.33433075749774	With just a little more luck we might have had the credit of capturing the Pirate. ” “ Then he turned up, after all? ” I cried, incredu- lously.
nyp.33433075749774	You do n’t want to sink us, do you? ” This time Mannering laughed aloud.
nyp.33433075749774	You have never taken a really big dive, I sup- pose, Sutgrove? ” “ Twenty feet is about my limit, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075749774	you? ” I gasped, when at last I recovered the use of my tongue.
nyp.33433075749774	“ A very effective little toy, is n’t it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Afraid of what? ” Then my wife, repeating again the words with which she had greeted me, replied, “ I am so glad you are home again, Jim.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Are the others all right? ” I gasped.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Are you cer- tain that the Mascot is capable of keeping her under observation?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Are you thinking of taking your motor- boat, too? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
nyp.33433075749774	“ But before I tell you anything, I just want you to put your boat about and run straight for Palma. ” “ Why? ” asked Withington.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Can you trust me absolutely The Living Who Became as Dead 39 for a couple of hours?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Can you trust your people here to be silent? ” I indicated his four companions.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Content for how long?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Dead, did you say, or did the wind alter the words? ” “ D'ye think I should say dead if I meant he was alive? ” retorted Sanders.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Dead, did you say, or did the wind alter the words? ” “ D'ye think I should say dead if I meant he was alive? ” retorted Sanders.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Did we, Edith? ” “ I guess we were both too scared, ” was the reply.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Do n’t you know me? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Do n’t you see that it is exactly those risks which appeal to me?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Do you imagine that I have taken leave of my senses? ” “ I hope not, ” came the cool answer.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Does n’t it? ” he said proudly.
nyp.33433075749774	“ D’ye ken those two points like the pinnacles of a church? ” he said.
nyp.33433075749774	“ He was as anxious to make us drunk as I was anxious to put him under the table. ” “ Why, do you think he has any suspicion of us? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Her owner has n’t brought her all the way from the other side of nowhere for nothing. ” “ Whom does she belong to? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ How should I ken where a dead man is gone? ” “ Dead? ” said Mannering.
nyp.33433075749774	“ How should I ken where a dead man is gone? ” “ Dead? ” said Mannering.
nyp.33433075749774	“ I have only come home because I still wish to remain in concealment. ” “ And Mannering? ” asked Evie, eagerly.
nyp.33433075749774	“ I suppose she must know? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ I suppose you know all about the Eulalie? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Incomplete? ” I queried in some surprise.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Is n’t there? ” he replied with emphasis.
nyp.33433075749774	“ It is no use going in search of pirates unarmed, is it?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Looks desolate enough to afford our friend security from espionage, does n’t it? ” remarked Withington, and we both turned our faces seaward.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Mannering in England?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Near do you call it? ” said Forrest.
nyp.33433075749774	“ No?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Nonsense?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Now, do you think that Mannering would have left a job in so unfinished a condition? ” he replied.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Pros- perous?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Say, ” he observed, “ you do n’t tell me your friend is a prohibition man?
nyp.33433075749774	“ So we have met again, eh? ” I could neither speak nor move.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Tell me, ” I asked, “ did we really chase the Conqueror last night or have I dreamed it? ” “ It was no dream, ” he replied.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Then why in heaven's name have you not given particulars to the police? ” asked her father.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Then you are sure that he is acting with Manner- ing? ” I questioned eagerly just as Withington joined us in the saloon.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Thought of them? ” he replied.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Tried?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Tried? ” answered Sanders.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Want to add some more finger- prints to your col- lection? ” said Withington.
nyp.33433075749774	“ We shall board her and see what is the matter, I suppose? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What about our theories now, Sutgrove?
nyp.33433075749774	“ What about the answer to your wire? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What are you driv- ing at? ” I asked after a little pause.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What boat is that? ” My cry awakened my wife, and rubbing her eyes she was soon by my side and looking at the stranger.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What can your curses avail?
nyp.33433075749774	“ What course, sir? ” was the next question.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What d'ye think I should 84 The Cruise of the Conqueror be doin’ out here if Mr. Sutgrove was in the land of the livin ’?
nyp.33433075749774	“ What do you make of her? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What do you make of it all, Forrest? ” I asked as the detective rose to his feet.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What do you think of it, Sanders? ” I asked, turn- ing to my companion.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What in the world brought you down here in the very nick of time? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What is the use of all this preparation, then? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What is there to keep you in this cold, stupid Eng- land? ” he urged.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What's her chance of picking up the Mist now? ” Sanders raised a pair of field- glasses to his eyes and gazed steadily in her direction.
nyp.33433075749774	“ What's that he has mounted aft, sir?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Where did you meet him? ” “ At the usual place for meeting long expected guests — the railway station.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Where is she? ” asked Withington as he stepped on to the bridge.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Where ’s the water? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Who is this gentleman? ” he demanded abruptly.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Why do n’t you look where you ’re going?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Why should you want to ruin me?
nyp.33433075749774	“ Why, what do you know about her? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075749774	“ Will you come? ” I shouted to Sanders.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You are all accustomed to keep a still tongue in your heads, my lads? ” he said, and they answered with an assenting murmur.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You are fully aware of all the consequences of your action, sir? ” demanded the captain.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You can not scare me with that sort of nonsense. ” “ Nonsense? ” replied Evie in the same hushed note of conviction.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You have found out something? ” said our host.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You have not taken the most important item into account. ” “ What is that? ” I queried.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You will find my friends here, Mr. Grove and Mr. Brown, quite ready to join us, I am sure. ” “ Americans? ” asked the captain.
nyp.33433075749774	“ You?
nyp.33433075749774	“ ‘ Who? ’ asked Edith, for I had not then had time to explain how I came to be stopping at the hotel.
nyp.33433074946884	244 THE SPY IN BLACK “ What's the matter? ” I asked a trifle anx- iously.
nyp.33433074946884	A man jumped up from behind the wall just as you saw. ” “ Who was he? ” FRIDAY 261 “ Yes, there is, ” I said urgently.
nyp.33433074946884	Alexander Burnett? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074946884	All you have to do is to get a passport — and there you are! ” “ Are they difficult to get? ” The stranger laughed again.
nyp.33433074946884	And how long does he imagine the British are going to let you stay in this house of yours unsuspected?
nyp.33433074946884	And who the devil has given you such orders? ” “ Herr Tiel, ” I said.
nyp.33433074946884	And yet as a man and a loyal subject how could he possibly decline to assist in an effort to foil the King's enemies?
nyp.33433074946884	Besides, why deceive me in any case?
nyp.33433074946884	But how can I?
nyp.33433074946884	But it is a little an- noying sometimes. ” 194 THE SPY IN BLACK “ For instance, do you know what he is doing to- night? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	But marriage?
nyp.33433074946884	But what about my petrol?
nyp.33433074946884	But what is all this about staying on shore?
nyp.33433074946884	But what was to be done in the meantime?
nyp.33433074946884	But where am I to take it? ” “ I ’ll show you, ” said she.
nyp.33433074946884	Can you not wait till I pack my things too?
nyp.33433074946884	Come any one of those nights that suits him. ” “ That suits him? ” I laughed.
nyp.33433074946884	Do n't you think so? ” “ Decidedly!
nyp.33433074946884	Do you drink whisky- and- soda? ” “ You have no beer? ” He smiled and shook his head.
nyp.33433074946884	Do you drink whisky- and- soda? ” “ You have no beer? ” He smiled and shook his head.
nyp.33433074946884	Drummond? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	Even at night how many ears would be listening for my “ phut- phut- phut, ” and how many eyes would be scan- ning the dark roads?
nyp.33433074946884	FRIDAY 271 “ Then I understand I am betrayed? ” I asked as calmly as I could.
nyp.33433074946884	Had I been picked for this errand because I was a coward or a resourceless fool?
nyp.33433074946884	Has he special in- formation? ” “ His younger brother is on the flagship, and he has several very influential friends.
nyp.33433074946884	Have you forced the safe? ” “ Which safe? ” demanded the unsuspecting lady.
nyp.33433074946884	Have you forced the safe? ” “ Which safe? ” demanded the unsuspecting lady.
nyp.33433074946884	Helpless as a child before a charging elephant, hopeless as a man at the bottom of an Alpine crevasse, Ig- nition, carburettor, what had been damaged?
nyp.33433074946884	How can I trust him now? ” “ Say nothing to him now, ” she said in a low voice.
nyp.33433074946884	How should a German agent be a British officer?
nyp.33433074946884	I do n't care what he says! ” p?
nyp.33433074946884	I had cleaned the thing, oiled it, seen that everything was in order; what in heaven's name could be the matter?
nyp.33433074946884	I have a chance of escaping now unobserved; shall I have such a chance later in the day? ” Finally I decided to compromise.
nyp.33433074946884	I know a John Taylor 25 “ Who comes from Lancashire and keeps a motor- car? ” “ No, ” said Mr. Drummond.
nyp.33433074946884	I wonder if such a talk ever before had such a charming background?
nyp.33433074946884	I'm preparing a little surprise! ” “ For the girls? ” “ For all of you! ” The laird loved a practical jest, and scented happiness at once.
nyp.33433074946884	If you are surprised, please remember that your name is Mr. Wilson. ” “ Wilson? ” I said with some disgust.
nyp.33433074946884	Indeed, why should he think so?
nyp.33433074946884	Is it good- bye, or shall I see you in the morning? ” His face had become very long again.
nyp.33433074946884	It will be hard to do, but I have no doubt as to the result; have you? ” “ None, ” she said, quietly but with absolute confidence.
nyp.33433074946884	Logic had brought me beautifully so far, but now came the rub — Where was I to hide?
nyp.33433074946884	Mr. Burnett was on his way to the Windy Islands, I believe? ” “ He was.
nyp.33433074946884	My mother was Irish, hence my name — Eileen. ” “ Then that is your real name? ” I cried, be- tween surprise and delight.
nyp.33433074946884	No, thank you, I shall stay down here. ” “ In your uniform? ” she asked, opening her eyes a little.
nyp.33433074946884	Now that ’s a funny kettle of fish, is n't it? ” I did n't say so, but I had to admit that he was not so very far wrong.
nyp.33433074946884	Or was I an honest and peace- able gentleman?
nyp.33433074946884	Should I take Tiel with me to see Wiedermann?
nyp.33433074946884	Such men are the last to be trusted — even by those who pay them. ”- “ Do you know many ‘ such men ’? ” he in- quired.
nyp.33433074946884	Such risks are not run for nothing. ” “ What is a woman's part in such a plan usually? ” she asked in a quiet voice.
nyp.33433074946884	Surely the beautiful liveried figure in the car would require his tea and eggs like his master?
nyp.33433074946884	Surely you are not going to risk a longer stay? ” 218 THE SPY IN BLACK “ If it is my duty I must run the risk. ” “ But is it your duty?
nyp.33433074946884	Surely you are not going to risk a longer stay? ” 218 THE SPY IN BLACK “ If it is my duty I must run the risk. ” “ But is it your duty?
nyp.33433074946884	THE EMPTY ENVELOPE 305 “ I wonder if it's conceivable that you'd ever look upon me as anything but a calculating machine? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	THE PLEASANT STRANGER 71 “ Do n’t they pay your expenses? ” “ Yes, ” admitted the minister.
nyp.33433074946884	THURSDAY 239 “ Why's the Kaiser like my boots? ” I gave it up at once.
nyp.33433074946884	The oats is looking very well; do you not think so? ” I perceived that my friend was an agricul- turist, and endeavoured to humour him.
nyp.33433074946884	Then Miss Holland suddenly asked — “ Do you live near the sea? ” “ Not very, ” he answered with his air of final- ity.
nyp.33433074946884	Then he inquired — MR. DRUMMOND'S VISITOR 97 “ Do you know a Mr. Taylor? ” “ Taylor?
nyp.33433074946884	Then he inquired — MR. DRUMMOND'S VISITOR 97 “ Do you know a Mr. Taylor? ” “ Taylor?
nyp.33433074946884	There could not possibly be any use in going further; why then did they continue to advance?
nyp.33433074946884	There was no one for next Sunday, and they were only too glad to have the pulpit filled. ” “ But will you risk it? ” He smiled confidently.
nyp.33433074946884	Till the day broke all I had to do was to sit still, but after that — what?
nyp.33433074946884	Topham? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946884	WEDNESDAY 229 “ Then that is your rôle? ” “ I presume so, ” she said frankly.
nyp.33433074946884	Was I sure we should have at least four submarines?
nyp.33433074946884	Was I the suspicious person he fan- cied at first?
nyp.33433074946884	We only know that you received them. ” “ Then who sent them, I'd like to know? ” “ That, no doubt, will appear in time.
nyp.33433074946884	Well now, what's the good in making inquiries about a thing that's happened and finished and come to an end?
nyp.33433074946884	What about half a dozen submarines? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433074946884	What else are you needed for?
nyp.33433074946884	What is your own part in it?
nyp.33433074946884	What was to be made of these very disquieting events?
nyp.33433074946884	What would you like? ” “ The cold ham and a couple of boiled eggs will suit me. ” She agreed again.
nyp.33433074946884	Where are you going? ” And the next moment he was after the min- ister and had him by the arm just as they reached the open front door.
nyp.33433074946884	Who is he? ” As I spoke we heard a bell ring.
nyp.33433074946884	Why did n't he try to use more authority? ” “ I wonder, ” she said in a musing tone, and yet I could see from her eye that she had an idea.
nyp.33433074946884	Why keep me alive? ” “ I suppose because it is an English cus- tom, ” replied Commander Blacklock quietly.
nyp.33433074946884	Why were you brought into the islands?
nyp.33433074946884	Yet an adventuress, a paid agent of the Secret Service, marrying a von Belke — is it quite conceivable?
nyp.33433074946884	You do n't mind my telling her to call me Dick, do you?
nyp.33433074946884	and get pardoned? ” asked Eileen.
nyp.33433074946884	he asked me; and would they be brought well in and take the risk?
nyp.33433074946884	he is really her brother, is he? ” said he, looking at me very knowingly.
nyp.33433074946884	º “ Would you go to any lengths? ” I asked abruptly.
nyp.33433074946884	“ A foreigner! ” I exclaimed; “ why on earth should you think that? ” “ You ’re using queer words, ” she replied.
nyp.33433074946884	“ About my sister, sir? ” inquired Tiel with his most brazen effrontery, coming forward and smiling cordially.
nyp.33433074946884	“ And now may I ask you your adventures? ” “ Certainly, ” said he.
nyp.33433074946884	“ And she has been so all the time? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Another — in these islands?
nyp.33433074946884	“ Any trout in this stream? ” inquired the stranger.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Are you an old friend of Mr. Burnett? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Are you his motive? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Are you often taken like that? ” I inquired with a smile.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Are you staying with the minister? ” he in- quired presently.
nyp.33433074946884	“ As for your business, ” added Tiel, “ you are a Government inspector. ” “ Of what? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Before the war, I presume? ” “ Yes, ” she answered briefly, and looked round her as though wondering whether she should move.
nyp.33433074946884	“ But do you care what he says? ” “ No, ” she replied, “ because of course he wo n't say it.
nyp.33433074946884	“ But has he knowledge?
nyp.33433074946884	“ But then how shall I get back? ” “ I shall drive you over, ” smiled Tiel.
nyp.33433074946884	“ But why this afternoon rather than this morning?
nyp.33433074946884	“ By the way, ” he exclaimed presently, “ do you happen to know a fellow- clergyman there called Maxwell?
nyp.33433074946884	“ By the way, ” she said in a moment, “ I ON THE SHORE 217 “ Have n't you settled anything? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ By you a little and by Tiel very much! ” “ How have I deceived you? ” I looked at her a trifle foolishly.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Can you get a suit of mufti for me? ” I in- quired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Can you talk business now? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Did a German actually say that? ” “ Tiel belongs to no country, ” said Black- lock.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Did you have much difficulty? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Do you happen to know a minister there — a Mr. Burnett? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Do you know Germany well? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Do you mean to say that Tiel did n't press you? ” “ No, ” I said.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Do you mind giving me a hand with this? ” said she.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Do you propose to wear my clothes? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Do you? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Good heavens, it was n't you, was it? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Have you just landed upon these islands? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ How many subma- rines can you concentrate, and how long will it take you to concentrate them? ” I considered the question.
nyp.33433074946884	“ How will you mange it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ I owe you an apology, Belke, ” he said, “ I ought to have explained that that woman is in my pay. ” “ In your pay? ” I cried.
nyp.33433074946884	“ I owe you an ex- planation. ” II TIEL ’s STORY 46 OW much do you know of our scheme? ” asked Tiel.
nyp.33433074946884	“ I was placed under his orders, as you will remember, sir. ” “ But what does he want you for?
nyp.33433074946884	“ I wonder who will that minister be? ” said Mr. Craigie to himself as he strolled back.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Is he the officer in command of the base? ” demanded Mr. Drummond a little fiercely.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Is he then — er — an abstainer? ” Mr. Taylor laughed pleasantly.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Is it important? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Is n’t that rather roundabout? ” Mr. Taylor laughed jovially.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Is the war over? ” I asked suddenly.
nyp.33433074946884	“ It ’s not mental trouble, I hope?
nyp.33433074946884	“ It ’s very good of you, ” she said; “ you are sure you have time? ” “ Loads! ” he assured her.
nyp.33433074946884	“ May I come in for a little? ” she said.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Not even for Germany? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Now he is an acquaintance of yours? ” Tiel nodded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Or is it a family custom? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Really — you do n't say so?
nyp.33433074946884	“ Really?
nyp.33433074946884	“ Really? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433074946884	“ She? ” I repeated to myself.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Still, so long as that is the system, why not try your luck?
nyp.33433074946884	“ Surely you got my letter? ” I started.
nyp.33433074946884	“ The British cruiser which was mined early in the war? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ The minister? ” said she in rather an odd voice.
nyp.33433074946884	“ The only use we are for is just to be taxed. ” “ What must you think of us? ” cried Eileen, whose acting was fully the equal of Tiel's.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Then you have been sent by Mrs. Craigie to make inquiries about Miss Holland? ” I in- terrupted a trifle brusquely.
nyp.33433074946884	“ To keep it from the rain maybe? ” she sug- gested.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What can I do for you? ” “ I ’ll come down again in half an hour, ” said she.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What do you think of him? ” asked Tiel.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What do you think yourself? ” I inquired with a smile.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What for did you have to mend it in here? ” she inquired; very pertinently, I could not but admit.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What happened then? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What has happened? ” I cried.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What is extraordinary about it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What is your part of the country? ” “ Berwickshire, ” he said briefly.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What road are you taking? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What words? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ What's this — an elopement?
nyp.33433074946884	“ Who are you going to decoy? ” I asked, and I felt that my voice was harsh.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Who did you speak to last night? ” I asked point- blank.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Why did he come? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ Will you come and sit there with me? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You are quite sure this is all right?
nyp.33433074946884	“ You feel Sure? ” For reply she very gently pressed my hand at last.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You got a pretended traitor?
nyp.33433074946884	“ You have thought of everything you can possibly need? ” he asked in a low voice.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You mean? ” “ Well, to be quite frank, I mean Tiel.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You never at any time came across her captain?
nyp.33433074946884	“ You remember the affair of the Hailey- bury? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You told him when I was leaving, and all about it, I suppose? ” “ There was nae secret, was there? ” de- manded Mary.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You told him when I was leaving, and all about it, I suppose? ” “ There was nae secret, was there? ” de- manded Mary.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You will really run that risk? ” “ It is now worth it, ” I said with meaning.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You ’ll have some tea before you start, I hope? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074946884	“ You ’ve spoken to him? ” “ He was only asking if I had got the license, ” winked Mr. Craigie.
nyp.33433074809108	* You no like? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074809108	119 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E “ Why, Flora, have n’t you blue on the brain?
nyp.33433074809108	155 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E “ Are you surprised that I thought of that? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074809108	212 XII DISEN CHANTMENT HEN this was the end of all romance?
nyp.33433074809108	221 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E “ Well? ” she persisted, troubled by this look of his, and this silence.
nyp.33433074809108	260 A L A D Y IN D IS T R E S S “ Who? ” “ That Kerr.
nyp.33433074809108	278 A L A D Y IN D IS T R E S S “ Well, are we going to stand here all night? ” He took her by the arm.
nyp.33433074809108	292 T H E D E M I G O D posing she ever had a chance to see him again?
nyp.33433074809108	373 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E “ My dear, are you sure that that is your re- sponsibility? ” Flora ’s answering smile was faint.
nyp.33433074809108	393 T H E COAST O, F C H A N C E Is n’t it funny she remembered it all this time?
nyp.33433074809108	A R D ferent from the others, would n’t it? ” she asked prettily.
nyp.33433074809108	A chap in perpetual flight, taking things because he has to, more or less pursued by the law?
nyp.33433074809108	A flaw?
nyp.33433074809108	After saying so much, was he going to say nothing more?
nyp.33433074809108	All I want to know is, why did you show that ring to Clara before it was set? ”- She was genuinely aghast.
nyp.33433074809108	And do you think you can make a man do otherwise than his nature? ” “ You think I should fail? ” Flora took it up fearlessly.
nyp.33433074809108	And do you think you can make a man do otherwise than his nature? ” “ You think I should fail? ” Flora took it up fearlessly.
nyp.33433074809108	And had he given them as his excuse for going away?
nyp.33433074809108	And if it had nothing to do with the price of the ring, what had they been talking about?
nyp.33433074809108	And it was as if he said, “ Oh, have you a doll? ” He did not even turn his head to look at her.
nyp.33433074809108	And what 163 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E/ had followed that?
nyp.33433074809108	And what else could the blue- eyed Chinaman mean by his strange pursuit of her?
nyp.33433074809108	And what of Flora Gilsey in her morning dress and garden hat, in a night- hawk of a Telegraph Hill hack, flying through their midst like a mad woman?
nyp.33433074809108	And what was going on on his side of the affair?
nyp.33433074809108	And where, she asked herself in a summing up, might such a man not be found?
nyp.33433074809108	And why, above all, was Kerr so brilliantly talk- ing at Ella, in the same way he had begun at Flora herself?
nyp.33433074809108	And would he wait for the rest now — now 282 A L A D Y IN DIS T R E S S that the situation was so galling to him?
nyp.33433074809108	Are you sure they have n’t put it on you?
nyp.33433074809108	At this last moment was there to be no miracle to save her?
nyp.33433074809108	But after breakfast, she won- dered if it would n't be as well to ring him up at luncheon time?
nyp.33433074809108	But did she really want Harry to rid her of the ring?
nyp.33433074809108	But first I see this ring. ” “ What was it like? ” Flora demanded.
nyp.33433074809108	But had n’t Harry?
nyp.33433074809108	But is the feeling really yours?
nyp.33433074809108	But there was the hole in the velvet — and nothing more to be found. ” “ But does no one know anything?
nyp.33433074809108	But was n’t she, in a way, being silly about Kerr?
nyp.33433074809108	But what could she say, supposing Clara asked about the morning ’s expedition?
nyp.33433074809108	But what else could I have done? ” 75 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E He seemed to ponder a moment.
nyp.33433074809108	But what was he thinking about so seriously between those smiling glances?
nyp.33433074809108	But what was to be done with Harry?
nyp.33433074809108	But why, in this case?
nyp.33433074809108	Ca n't you see it through my eyes?
nyp.33433074809108	Ca n’t you make your- self all mine? ” His arm was around her now, 322 T H E D E M I G O D around her for the first moment she could hardly stand.
nyp.33433074809108	Ca n’t you trust that I am right?
nyp.33433074809108	Calling him up at such an hour of the morning demanding his attendance on such a fanciful errand — wouldn’t he think it odd?
nyp.33433074809108	Clara?
nyp.33433074809108	Could his generosity resist that?
nyp.33433074809108	Could it be that Ella 235 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E was one of those women whom Harry had al- luded to as running after Kerr?
nyp.33433074809108	Crew?
nyp.33433074809108	Dared she wear it on her finger under her glove?
nyp.33433074809108	Did he mean he was going away?
nyp.33433074809108	Did he mention it to you? ” “ No. ” Her lips let the word out slowly.
nyp.33433074809108	Did he suppose Harry was to be managed?
nyp.33433074809108	Did he suspect her feeling for Kerr?
nyp.33433074809108	Did his delicacy, his insight, his tempered fineness, count for nothing beside it?
nyp.33433074809108	Did n't he die there? ” Judge Buller caught it with a snap of his fingers.
nyp.33433074809108	Did n't you get my letter? ” “ Oh, indeed I did.
nyp.33433074809108	Do n't you know that he misdoubts me?
nyp.33433074809108	Do n't you remember, papa men- tioned it at supper that evening at the club?
nyp.33433074809108	Do n't you remember? ” He spoke gently, as if afraid that a hasty phrase in such connection might do her harm.
nyp.33433074809108	Do n’t you feel there is something wrong about him? ” “ Oh, I do n’t know, ” said Flora vaguely.
nyp.33433074809108	Do n’t you remember?
nyp.33433074809108	Do n’t you see your own danger at all? ” “ No, but I ’d like to. ” He leaned toward her, brows lifted to a quizzical peak.
nyp.33433074809108	Do you think I could n’t have had the sapphire that first night I saw it on your hand, if it had n't been — well, for the way I thought of you?
nyp.33433074809108	Do you think I ’ve been idle all these days?
nyp.33433074809108	Ella, what do you mean? ” “ I mean married, ” said Ella.
nyp.33433074809108	For all its intensity, how could it be construed otherwise than a lively if unconven- 154 A S P A R K OF HO R. R O R tional interest?
nyp.33433074809108	For fear it might be lost?
nyp.33433074809108	For had not Harry, from the very beginning, known something about him?
nyp.33433074809108	For how, by all that was marvelous, had she for a moment doubted it?
nyp.33433074809108	For if Kerr valued the ring more than he valued his safety, what argument was left her?
nyp.33433074809108	For suppose Harry should have something to tell her about the Chatworth ring?
nyp.33433074809108	For, when one thought of it, was n’t it absurd that people out of nowhere should suppose them- selves exclusive?
nyp.33433074809108	Had Buller's camera caught the clear face of Farrell Wand, or only a dim figure?
nyp.33433074809108	Had Harry felt the touch of the same strange influence that the little shop, and the blue- eyed Chinaman, and the sapphire, had wrought around her?
nyp.33433074809108	Had he come at last to transcend her idea with some even greater purpose?
nyp.33433074809108	Had he no idea where Harry stood in this af- fair?
nyp.33433074809108	Had he seen her?
nyp.33433074809108	Had he suspected it then, or had he only wondered?
nyp.33433074809108	Had it been at the moment of his at- tempted departure that Kerr had told him, Flora wondered?
nyp.33433074809108	Had n't he at first denied having seen him before, and then admitted it?
nyp.33433074809108	Had n’t he dropped hints and innuendoes without ever an explanation?
nyp.33433074809108	Had n’t he followed up that singular scene with the blue- eyed Chinaman by other vis- its to the goldsmith's shop?
nyp.33433074809108	Had n’t it passed them so for twenty years?
nyp.33433074809108	Harry here?
nyp.33433074809108	Harry was being appealed to by all the women who could get at him as to his part in the affair — what had been his sensations and emotions?
nyp.33433074809108	Harry?
nyp.33433074809108	Has he never told you anything of that morning when we left your house together? ” “ Never. ” The admission cost her an effort.
nyp.33433074809108	Has no one an idea? ” Clara almost panted in her im- patience.
nyp.33433074809108	Have I tried to approach you? ” “ Have n’t you, though? ” she threw at him ac- cusingly.
nyp.33433074809108	Have I tried to approach you? ” “ Have n’t you, though? ” she threw at him ac- cusingly.
nyp.33433074809108	Have n’t I kept away from your house?
nyp.33433074809108	Have n’t I obeyed it?
nyp.33433074809108	He could have done it — oh, easy — but he went out eight, ten years ago. ” “ Died? ” Flora's rising inflection was a la- ment.
nyp.33433074809108	He has n’t asked you for it since? ” “ The sapphire? ” she faltered.
nyp.33433074809108	He has n’t asked you for it since? ” “ The sapphire? ” she faltered.
nyp.33433074809108	He must be in town, then, on secret 262 A L A D Y IN D IS T R E S S “ Has it taken you all the morning? ” She could see she had not fooled him.
nyp.33433074809108	He wants to know about some English- man that they ’re trying to put up at the club. ” “ How's that?
nyp.33433074809108	Her lips parted, and the breath that came and went 415 C LA R A's M A R K E T information?
nyp.33433074809108	His depravity loomed to her enormous; but was that all there was to be said of him?
nyp.33433074809108	His sinister form was dissolving; but what was to be his identity when finally he stood before her restored and perfect?
nyp.33433074809108	How can you betray the man you love? ” “ Oh, ” she cried, with a wail of horror.
nyp.33433074809108	How d'ye do, Kerr? ” “ How d'ye do? ” said the Englishman, with- out rising.
nyp.33433074809108	How d'ye do, Kerr? ” “ How d'ye do? ” said the Englishman, with- out rising.
nyp.33433074809108	How d'y’do, Harry? ” She waved her hand at him.
nyp.33433074809108	How did you feel? ” “ Thirsty. ” “ Oh, Harry! ” She glanced about, as if for a missile to threaten him with.
nyp.33433074809108	How foolish not to have gone to Harry when she had first made up her mind to For why, after all, make him any explanations?
nyp.33433074809108	How get at it?
nyp.33433074809108	How get through it?
nyp.33433074809108	How had she arrived at this consideration?
nyp.33433074809108	How long do you think Clara’ll let you stop at this hour? ” “ Clara is n’t here, ” he said.
nyp.33433074809108	How long were they going on putting an edge to their argument?
nyp.33433074809108	How much do we know of the people we meet, where they were, and who they were, before they came here?
nyp.33433074809108	How trust him when he was shuffling so?
nyp.33433074809108	How was it that one ’s romances could be so cruelly pulled down to earth?
nyp.33433074809108	How was she to count on Harry if he was going to behave like this?
nyp.33433074809108	I bought her off! ” “ Bought her off? ” Flora cried.
nyp.33433074809108	I found the ring was n’t there, and he found he could n’t find it. ” “ Do n’t you know any more than the paper? ” Flora mourned.
nyp.33433074809108	I had all I ’m likely to get from the man himself. ” “ He- he told you? ” she faltered.
nyp.33433074809108	I may see you this evening, perhaps? ” He was grave now.
nyp.33433074809108	I only remarked that we did not know him. ” “ Do n’t you, Harry? ” He gave her a quick look.
nyp.33433074809108	I saw him just now as I was coming up. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074809108	I would have told you on the spot, only I thought you would rather Clara did n’t know it. ” “ I? ” That left him staring.
nyp.33433074809108	If he had suspected why had n’t he spoken of it?
nyp.33433074809108	If she was n’t going to wear the ring on her finger, and show it, why did she want to take it with her at all?
nyp.33433074809108	If you had a pal, would n’t you be afraid he'd sell you up?
nyp.33433074809108	In this easy atmosphere, how was it that the thread of restraint ran so sharply defined?
nyp.33433074809108	Is there any sort you have n’t already? ” She held up her hand to the light and flut- tered its glitter.
nyp.33433074809108	It could not be there were men in the house without the servants remarking it; but in the garden?
nyp.33433074809108	It hurt her; though why should she be hurt because a stranger had not wanted to cross the parade- ground to shake hands with her?
nyp.33433074809108	It was fantastic, but it persisted; for had not the Chatworth ring itself proved that the most ordinary appearances might cover un- imagined wonders?
nyp.33433074809108	It was n’t for them I asked you to come. ” “ But ca n’t you tell me what it is you ’re afraid of? ” the other urged.
nyp.33433074809108	Kerr?
nyp.33433074809108	Leave the sapphire to people who can make no better use of it than I?
nyp.33433074809108	Leave you to go on with this business and marry this Cressy?
nyp.33433074809108	Might not he just decide to take the sapphire, and with the evidence of that, risk his putting his hand on the “ Idol ” when he grasped the thief?
nyp.33433074809108	Must their talks, their walking through the trees, the very memory of his voice, be lost in- spiration?
nyp.33433074809108	My dear Flora, do n't you think you want me to do more than is honest? ” “ Honest! ” Flora cried.
nyp.33433074809108	My dear, for what do you take me? ” She burst out.
nyp.33433074809108	No, really, do you think that pos- 277 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E sible? ” Kerr inquired, and Flora caught a glim- mer of irony in his voice.
nyp.33433074809108	No?
nyp.33433074809108	Not Mrs. Brit- ton? ” “ Clara?
nyp.33433074809108	Not Mrs. Brit- ton? ” “ Clara?
nyp.33433074809108	Oh, Ella, are you sure? ” She felt a hysterical impulse to giggle.
nyp.33433074809108	Oh, is n’t that harmless?
nyp.33433074809108	On what new breathless flights might he not take her — or would he see her at all?
nyp.33433074809108	On which side would they come out together?
nyp.33433074809108	Or had he simply reached forth out of his kindness to rescue her, as he might have rescued a blind kitten that he pitied?
nyp.33433074809108	Or was it between them for ever?
nyp.33433074809108	Or were 402 T H E H o Us E of Q U 1 ET there others — men here for a fearful purpose — waiting beyond in the hall?
nyp.33433074809108	Shall I ever forget how starkly you held it for the sake of my honor, 463 T H E COAST OF C H A N C E even against myself?
nyp.33433074809108	She had not forgotten?
nyp.33433074809108	She knew well enough her own fear of saying too much — but, what was Harry afraid of?
nyp.33433074809108	She read the strange handwriting: May I see you, anywhere, at any time, to- night?
nyp.33433074809108	She seemed awfully surprised that I knew; but she owned up to it, and what do you think?
nyp.33433074809108	She wondered if her obsession was all her own — or did it reach to one of them?
nyp.33433074809108	Should I ever have known you without it? ” He put the ring into her hand, and, smiling with his old dare, held it over the fountain.
nyp.33433074809108	So seldom? ” She was impotent if he would n’t be snubbed; but at the worst she would n’t be cornered.
nyp.33433074809108	Surely not me? ” She was, but hotly denied it.
nyp.33433074809108	That's probable, is n’t it? ” Harry nodded.
nyp.33433074809108	The dance?
nyp.33433074809108	The question now is — who took it? ” “ Why, one of us, ” said Flora flippantly.
nyp.33433074809108	Then what was Harry?
nyp.33433074809108	Then why did n't Harry speak?
nyp.33433074809108	Then, turning slow eyes to Flora, “ How did he come by this? ” he asked, as sternly as if he demanded it of the mystery it- self.
nyp.33433074809108	They did n’t reckon on the thing's being split. ” “ Split?
nyp.33433074809108	They had not 332 G O B L IN TA CT I CS reached the point of agreement yet, but might they not on some other ground, where they could be unchallenged?
nyp.33433074809108	They take us for savages, my dear. ” “ Then is n’t it for us to show them that we are 180 A L A D Y U N W E I L E D more than usually civilized?
nyp.33433074809108	They were going to that dinner — and then the reception afterward?
nyp.33433074809108	Un- sought by him, unclaimed, in every common sense a stranger to him — how could she belong to him?
nyp.33433074809108	Was Harry also brutal?
nyp.33433074809108	Was Harry, who had always jumped at the chance of a tête- à- tête, dodging her?
nyp.33433074809108	Was everything to be fin- ished just as she had light enough to move, but before she had a chance?
nyp.33433074809108	Was he alone?
nyp.33433074809108	Was he coming back?
nyp.33433074809108	Was he going to ask for it back, to have it reset, as he had promised on the threshold of the goldsmith's shop?
nyp.33433074809108	Was it at a ball?
nyp.33433074809108	Was it here she was to lose the sapphire, and him?
nyp.33433074809108	Was it possible this was their last meeting?
nyp.33433074809108	Was it that her letter had finally touched him?
nyp.33433074809108	Was it to happen here, that strange thing she had foreseen, the end of her?
nyp.33433074809108	Was n’t Clara the safest of the lot?
nyp.33433074809108	Was that really all Clara had sup- posed?
nyp.33433074809108	Was that what she was com- ing to in time?
nyp.33433074809108	Was there no place in the world where she could be sure of safety for this?
nyp.33433074809108	Was this part of “ the big red game, ” not being accommodating, nor so very polite?
nyp.33433074809108	We ’ll have to lunch with them again, eh? ” He turned and looked at Flora.
nyp.33433074809108	What are you afraid of?
nyp.33433074809108	What construction would he put upon it?
nyp.33433074809108	What could be the matter with him?
nyp.33433074809108	What could be the matter?
nyp.33433074809108	What could he think of her?
nyp.33433074809108	What could save her in this sea of people?
nyp.33433074809108	What did they do with him? ” Kerr was silent, and Flora thought his face seemed suddenly at its sharpest.
nyp.33433074809108	What did you tell him? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433074809108	What do you think you ’ll get out of it?
nyp.33433074809108	What does it matter so much?
nyp.33433074809108	What else could he mean?
nyp.33433074809108	What had become of his ex- pression that had threatened her?
nyp.33433074809108	What had he come for?
nyp.33433074809108	What had she done?
nyp.33433074809108	What had that to do with the price of the ring?
nyp.33433074809108	What happened afterward?
nyp.33433074809108	What has he to do with it? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433074809108	What has she done? ” “ Well, ” Ella burst out, “ why is she coming here all the time, when she never used to, and petting papa?
nyp.33433074809108	What has she done? ” “ Well, ” Ella burst out, “ why is she coming here all the time, when she never used to, and petting papa?
nyp.33433074809108	What if she had rushed in to Kerr with this extraordi- nary manifestation?
nyp.33433074809108	What in the world was Clara about?
nyp.33433074809108	What makes you think she does?
nyp.33433074809108	What shall we say about it, now that the sapphire's gone and no longer in our way? ” She was breathing quick to keep from crying.
nyp.33433074809108	What threatened her?
nyp.33433074809108	What was the matter with this one?
nyp.33433074809108	What was this fresh quarry of the press, Flora wondered, that made it give tongue so hideously?
nyp.33433074809108	What was this terrible obsession that outweighed every other consideration with him?
nyp.33433074809108	What would it be like, she wondered, to feel the same about everything?
nyp.33433074809108	What ’s more harmless than to let one alone?
nyp.33433074809108	What?
nyp.33433074809108	When shall we look for it?
nyp.33433074809108	When she should see him again, what, she wondered, would be his extraordinary mood?
nyp.33433074809108	Which of those bland, satis- 31 T H E CO'A S T OF C H A N C E fied faces might not change shockingly at the whisper “ Chatworth ” in its ear?
nyp.33433074809108	Which should she flee from?
nyp.33433074809108	Which walk boldly up to and dispel?
nyp.33433074809108	Why does she bother to be so agreeable to me when she never was before?
nyp.33433074809108	Why had n't she thought of 170 I L L U M I N A TI O N that before?
nyp.33433074809108	Why had n’t she thought of it that first moment, when he had turned on her in the box with such terrible eyes?
nyp.33433074809108	Why not probe him on the subject, now that she had him completely to herself?
nyp.33433074809108	Why not? ” “ You ’re too — too”—she cast about for the word—“too terribly resourceful! ” “ I see, ” he said.
nyp.33433074809108	Why should the thought of it frighten her?
nyp.33433074809108	Why was he so anxious to see her, as he had not been the first night or yesterday, or even ten minutes ago?
nyp.33433074809108	Why wo n’t you go with me? ” she heard him say again, still close beside her.
nyp.33433074809108	Why “ famous ”?
nyp.33433074809108	Why, since he wanted the sapphire, had n’t he tried to get it from her when he had had her unawares, upon her thres- hold with the house asleep?
nyp.33433074809108	Why, what had she expected?
nyp.33433074809108	Will you tell me one thing — did you bring the picture with you? ” Clara weighed it.
nyp.33433074809108	Would 173 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E the question she had to ask be a safe thing to give him?
nyp.33433074809108	Would he return again, with renewed po- tency, with the same singular, almost sinister charm, as a wizard who works his will only by moonlight?
nyp.33433074809108	Would n't you be glad of twenty- four hours'start to keep him from turning state's evidence?
nyp.33433074809108	Would n’t you expect every man ’s hand 97 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E to be against you at that price?
nyp.33433074809108	Yet where to go to be rid of Clara and Harry, the two so closely asso- ciated with every fact of her life?
nyp.33433074809108	You got something pretty — maybe? ” The curtain of vacuity parted just a crack — let through a gleam of intense intelligence.
nyp.33433074809108	You likee twenty thousand dollar? ” He waited a mo- ment.
nyp.33433074809108	You think it might have been the man himself? ” His broad smile of appreciation enveloped her.
nyp.33433074809108	You ’re not wearing it? ” She played indifference with what a beating heart!
nyp.33433074809108	You're not one of us. ” “ One of what?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Ah, have you forgotten what you said the first night I met you?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Ah, why do you say that? ” she protested.
nyp.33433074809108	“ And Mrs. Purdie, wo n't you drive up with me?
nyp.33433074809108	“ And that is n't why you distrust him? ” The devil ’s tattoo that he beat on his hat stopped.
nyp.33433074809108	“ And we see the thing is at a deadlock, do n’t we?
nyp.33433074809108	“ And what ’s the news from the front? ” said Clara gaily.
nyp.33433074809108	“ And you would n’t put it off until she can? ” “ I could n't put it off a moment, ” Flora ended with a little breathless laugh.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Are n’t we supposed to be looking at the pictures? ” she wanted to know.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Are things going crookedly at Burlingame? ” “ Things are going as crooked as you please, but not at Burlingame.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Are we all mad? ” Flora thought.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Are you afraid of Clara? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Are you afraid of those people?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Between us ca n’t we prevent it?
nyp.33433074809108	“ But Mrs. Britton? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074809108	“ But are n’t there some women in your party old enough to make it possible and young enough to take pleasure in it? ” Flora shook her head.
nyp.33433074809108	“ But ca n’t you see the dan- ger? ” He met it quietly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ But there were other things in that letter. ” “ There were? ” He regarded her with grave surprise.
nyp.33433074809108	“ But you did n’t think of it until she gave you the suggestion, eh? ” he quizzed.
nyp.33433074809108	“ By the way, where ’s Clara? ” “ Why, do you want to see her?
nyp.33433074809108	“ By the way, where ’s Clara? ” “ Why, do you want to see her?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Ca n't I do something more active than that? ” Flora pondered.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Ca n’t you imagine where I stand in this hideous business?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Did n’t he get to the colonies?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Did you know I called upon you yesterday morning, also? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Did you say you were looking for me? ” he remarked.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do n’t you know that you could easily get rid of me? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do n’t you see what I am? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you 120 B L A c K M A G 1c want it? ” He spoke eagerly against her re- luctance.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you care for it so very much? ” she asked him, trembling but valiant.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you like it, Flora? ” he said.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you mind if I answer your question American fashion by asking another? ” he said presently.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you think I am weak? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you think there's anything queer about it? ” she faltered.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you think what I am going to do is such a thing as that? ” “ Oh, my poor child, how do I know?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you think what I am going to do is such a thing as that? ” “ Oh, my poor child, how do I know?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Do you want a companion? ” She turned to him with gratitude.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Eh! ” he said, “ and what about that honor of yours?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Ella, oh, yes; yes; Ella. ” What was she saying?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Farrell Wand? ” He felt it over, as if, like a doubtful coin, it might have rung false.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Flora, ” he began again, “ are you mum? ” She nodded, breathless.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Had you any idea the Herricks were in straits? ” “ The young Herricks? ” “ Oh, no!
nyp.33433074809108	“ Had you any idea the Herricks were in straits? ” “ The young Herricks? ” “ Oh, no!
nyp.33433074809108	“ Have you and Mr. Cressy met before? ” He raised his head with a jerk and looked at her a moment in astonishment.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Have you? ” He looked out upon the fog.
nyp.33433074809108	“ He waited all that time alone? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074809108	“ How d'ye do, Mrs. Herrick?
nyp.33433074809108	“ How in the world did such a thing come here? ” “ Oh, not so strange, ” Harry answered.
nyp.33433074809108	“ I do n’t see why you and the major should have been so myste- rious about that. ” “ You do n’t, eh?
nyp.33433074809108	“ I have no idea; but I will see you. ” “ When? ” Her answer leaped to her mind and her lips at the same moment.
nyp.33433074809108	“ I knew where I ’d seen him, but I could n’t be sure of his identity till she showed me the picture. ” “ What picture? ” cried Flora.
nyp.33433074809108	“ I know, ” she answered, “ but do you mind my speaking of him? ” They had sat down on the broad lip of the fountain basin.
nyp.33433074809108	“ I may have to stay longer if you want to hear about it. ” “ Oh, Harry, you really know something?
nyp.33433074809108	“ I think it was about that Embassy ball — ” “ I did n't want you to mention the Embassy ball? ” he repeated, and now he was only smil- ing.
nyp.33433074809108	“ If something should come out you would n’t want to be mixed up in it. ” “ Then why not give it back to the China- man? ” she tried him.
nyp.33433074809108	“ If you could tell me more. ” Then, as Flora only looked at her wistfully and silently: “ Is n’t there some one you can confide in?
nyp.33433074809108	“ If you go on like this, I shall have to show you my talisman. ” “ Oh, have you indeed a talisman? ” he humored her.
nyp.33433074809108	“ In Heaven ’s name, for what, then? ” Oh, she could never tell him it was for him!
nyp.33433074809108	“ Is he waiting? ” “ No, madam.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Is it — good? ” Flora faltered.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Is that paid woman still here? ” “ Oh, no; she ’s gone. ” Flora looked at him warningly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Is that so?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Is that the idea that gen- erally prevails?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Look at me; did you ever see such a sight? ” “ You do n't look very well, ” Flora cautiously admitted.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Lord knows how far he went to get it! ” “ Across the street? ” Flora wondered.
nyp.33433074809108	“ May I see you for five minutes, Major? ” The excellent major looked harassed.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Miss Buller says will you please walk up- stairs? ” Flora was amazed.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Nothing shows. ” Was it always to make it- self known, she thought uneasily, no matter how it was hid?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Now, Joe, how much you want? ” That much she heard as she turned away with a fear lest it might, and a hope that it would be, too much for him!
nyp.33433074809108	“ Now, what did I know of Farrell Wand? ” “ Farrell Wand? ” Kerr took it up rapidly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Now, what did I know of Farrell Wand? ” “ Farrell Wand? ” Kerr took it up rapidly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Oh, where? ” she pleaded.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Oh, would you? ” said Ella eagerly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Oh, ” she laughed dubiously, “ I suppose he is a good one as long as he is n’t caught. ” “ What? ” His face disowned her.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Oh, ” she turned to him beseechingly, “ ca n’t you get me away? ” “ Surely. ” His manner was as if nothing had happened.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Poor dear, ” said Flora with cooing mock- sympathy, “ and did they starve it?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Queer, what do you mean? ” She was feign- ing surprise.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Queer? ” To Flora ’s ears that sounded the coldest word she had ever heard.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Shall it be a giant or dwarf? ” he 306 T H E D E M I G O D asked her.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Shall we sit here? ” he said, and she found herself hopelessly cut off and isolated with the enemy.
nyp.33433074809108	“ So you think because I have a long face and wild hair that I am a sinister person?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Stolen, do you mean? ” She made it definite.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Sure? ” Miss Buller cried.
nyp.33433074809108	“ That first time Harry left the exhibit he took it there. ” “ But the blue sapphire? ” Chatworth insisted.
nyp.33433074809108	“ That is, ” he turned to her, “ if you ’re in no great hurry about the setting?
nyp.33433074809108	“ That one?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Then shall I tell Mrs. Herrick that you will 182 A L A D Y U N V E I L E D consider the house? ” said Clara, already in the act of departure.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Then such a man could easily have taken the ring in the Maple Room this afternoon?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Then that must be what has kept him. ” “ Who?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Then what are you doing here with the ring on you? ” he demanded solemnly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Then what keeps you? ” She looked up slowly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Then where am I to see you? ” “ In a few days — perhaps to- morrow — I will let you know. ” She rose.
nyp.33433074809108	“ This little god, this ring — do you know where it is?
nyp.33433074809108	“ To- morrow at ten, then? ” he said cheerfully to Flora.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Told her where we got it, do you mean?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Was it the most valuable thing in the collection? ” Flora hesitated in the face of the alert ques- tion.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well, Flora, ” he said, “ this is luck! ” “ What in the world has got you out so early? ” she rallied him.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well, I ’d like to know why? ” Ella snapped.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well, can you see one of those chaps trust- ing the other with more than half of it? ” The judge was scornful.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well, how do you know I do n’t?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well, is n’t that why we ’re here at last — that you may dictate your terms? ” “ I have.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well, what would you think? ” He threw it back at her.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Well? ” Ella's voice rose triumphantly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What are you going to do with the picture of Farrell Wand? ” For the first time she saw Clara startled.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What are you talking about now? ” Ah, she had said too much!
nyp.33433074809108	“ What did he say to you? ” He loomed directly above her, threaten- ing.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What difference would that make to you?
nyp.33433074809108	“ What do you think he wants? ” she gently asked.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What do you want me to say? ” 13 T H E CO A S T OF C H A N C E “ Why, stupid, the adventures of Harry Cressy, Esquire.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What do you want? ” he called, and, though he used no name, Flora saw he knew with whom he was speaking.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What does this mean? ” She sensed the anger in his smothered voice, but she dared not look at him.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What have I to do with it? ” At this she gave him a long look.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What in the world are you doing here alone? ” He spoke peevishly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What is it worth to you? ” Clara put her off with the last sweet meekness of her cleverness.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What is it? ” he said, though by his tone he knew.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What is the matter? ” she urged.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What is the most extraordinary thing? ” The query came bland and smooth, as if, what- ever it was, it could not surprise her.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What is this man to you? ” He was going too far.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What made you think I had? ” He shrugged.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What shall I do with you? ” she somberly in- quired of it.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What sort?
nyp.33433074809108	“ What will you take for it? ” he said at last.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What's wanted? ” “ Why, I – ” Flora stammered.
nyp.33433074809108	“ What?
nyp.33433074809108	“ When did he come? ” “ At eleven o’clock. ” At this she was frightened; he had missed Harry by less than half an hour.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Where have you got it now? ” she heard him asking, and she pointed downward toward where the pouch at her knee was swinging to and fro.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Where — how did he come across you? ” She'd been prepared for that question.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Who told you that? ” “ The judge.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Who ’s Crew? ” said Ella; and the judge looked around on the silence.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why are you dealing with me?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why ca n’t he do it for himself? ” she threw out sud- denly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why celebrated? ” Clara objected.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why did n't you come, last night? ” “ I could n’t.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why do n’t you stay in bed, and not try to see any one? ” Flora murmured that that was her intention, but she was far from speaking the truth.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why not give it to me now, ” he urged, “ since, of course, you ca n’t keep it?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why not, if you love me? ” he insisted.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why pictures, ” he inquired, “ when there are live people to look at?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why should n't she be? ” she demanded with delicate asperity.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why should n’t I keep it, until you give me a real reason for giving it up?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why should you think he came for that?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, 316 T H E D E M I G O D did n't you know it?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, Flora, ” at the top of her voice, “ where have you been all these days! ” Then in a hot whisper, “ Did you speak to her?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, are n’t they right? ” They were as clean clipped off and as perfect as if the daintiest hand had plucked them.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, do n't you see, ” she pointed out, “ that is just the fun of it?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, how d'y’do, Mrs. Britton?
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, what put that into your head? ” “ I — I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, what ’s the matter? ” She murmured, “ That Chinaman has blue eyes. ” He looked at her with good- natured wonder.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, yes, it's too ridiculous; what do you think she wanted? ” At that question Flora ’s heart seemed fairly to stand still.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Why, you poor child, what's happened to you? ” She gave him a look.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Would n't you like to stop and watch it? ” “ Why, yes, ” Flora assented.
nyp.33433074809108	“ Would you really rather believe it true? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You are not going to Burlingame, are you? ” she asked him with her first breath.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You divide the honors with the mysterious un- known, eh? ” Kerr inquired across the table.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You do n’t think I'm mad, do you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You likee god?
nyp.33433074809108	“ You mean that there is something you wish to do for whoever is going down? ” “ Oh, something I must do, ” Flora insisted.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You mean —? ” “ I mean I thought it might be safer all around that you should not see him that morning; so I got him away.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You must n't, when I ’m not expecting it. ” “ Then what are you expecting? ” she inquired a little coolly.
nyp.33433074809108	“ You think he ’s a renegade, do you?
nyp.33433074809108	“ You ’ll really have to help me, after all. ” “ Oh, have n’t I tried to?
nyp.33433074861901	A lawyer and superstitious?
nyp.33433074861901	About what?
nyp.33433074861901	After all, if she had the will on the night Leigh was got rid of, and committed the crime, why should she bury it?
nyp.33433074861901	All what?
nyp.33433074861901	Am I hungry?
nyp.33433074861901	Am I the man to try and do you out of them?
nyp.33433074861901	Am I, indeed? nyp.33433074861901 Am I?"
nyp.33433074861901	Am I?
nyp.33433074861901	And Mallien's descent?
nyp.33433074861901	And Mrs. Beatson wants you all to live together on her annuity?
nyp.33433074861901	And eat the potted tongue your housekeeper has been talking about to Dorinda?
nyp.33433074861901	And his attitude toward Mallien?
nyp.33433074861901	And his name?
nyp.33433074861901	And how did she know?
nyp.33433074861901	And if I do n't?
nyp.33433074861901	And if I give you all I have, you will condone a felony?
nyp.33433074861901	And if the will is not found?
nyp.33433074861901	And if you do not?
nyp.33433074861901	And if you do?
nyp.33433074861901	And on what charge?
nyp.33433074861901	And the will?
nyp.33433074861901	And what could I do, Squoire?
nyp.33433074861901	And what do you know?
nyp.33433074861901	And who is Leigh?
nyp.33433074861901	And you saw nothing of Mr. Leigh until seven the next morning?
nyp.33433074861901	And you will see them?
nyp.33433074861901	And you will take advantage of this infernal Statute?
nyp.33433074861901	And you will take the risk of being proved an ac- cessory after the fact?
nyp.33433074861901	And you?
nyp.33433074861901	And you?
nyp.33433074861901	Are you against me also, sir?
nyp.33433074861901	Are you sure of what you are saying?
nyp.33433074861901	As you have known her all her life, I presume she lives hereabouts?
nyp.33433074861901	But seeing what is involved, Mr. Hendle, is n't there some danger of a scandal if any public state- ment is made?
nyp.33433074861901	But what is best to be done?
nyp.33433074861901	But what will you say to your father?
nyp.33433074861901	But who on earth could have murdered him, Kensit?
nyp.33433074861901	But who was he? nyp.33433074861901 But who would commit a burglary here?"
nyp.33433074861901	But why do you suspect her of eavesdropping?
nyp.33433074861901	But why is Dr. Tollart here?
nyp.33433074861901	But your father surely did not admit that he was guilty, Dorinda?
nyp.33433074861901	Catalepsy?
nyp.33433074861901	Come now,said the barrister, when the door was closed and the trio were alone,"what have you got to say to all this?"
nyp.33433074861901	Dear me, Mr. Mallien, are you there? nyp.33433074861901 Did Dr. Tollart connect Carrington with the murder?"
nyp.33433074861901	Did Mr. Leigh expect anyone to visit him on that night?
nyp.33433074861901	Did he offer you safety on those terms?
nyp.33433074861901	Did he speak to him?
nyp.33433074861901	Did he tell you so?
nyp.33433074861901	Did that housekeeper hear any noise?
nyp.33433074861901	Did you ever see such a pig sty?
nyp.33433074861901	Did you tell anyone else about the will?
nyp.33433074861901	Do n't you find plain speech a refreshing novelty?
nyp.33433074861901	Do n't you know that Mr. Carrington sent for my father the other day, and had an interview with him at The Hendle Arms?
nyp.33433074861901	Do n't you know that Mr. Leigh is dead?
nyp.33433074861901	Do we understand one another?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you hear how I am spoken to?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you know anything of his past life?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you mean me?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you mean to say that you have left The Big House?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you really think so, Dorinda?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you think she is speaking the truth, Hendle?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you think that I ca n't see through your pre- tended search?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you think that every- one is so sordid as you are, Mallien? nyp.33433074861901 Do you think that the man is guilty?"
nyp.33433074861901	Do you think we have acted rightly, Rupert?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you want to give the show away? nyp.33433074861901 Does he know your family history?"
nyp.33433074861901	Does he want to see it?
nyp.33433074861901	Does his going back to the Big House look like it?
nyp.33433074861901	Does it leave the property to my father?
nyp.33433074861901	Does she want you to go to Australia, Miss Tollart?
nyp.33433074861901	Does she — do you — suspect my cousin?
nyp.33433074861901	Dull stuff my father wrote, did n't he?
nyp.33433074861901	Eh, what?
nyp.33433074861901	Enmity?
nyp.33433074861901	Give it to you?
nyp.33433074861901	Go there; go to Yucatan,cried Mallien, staring;"an old buffer like you?"
nyp.33433074861901	Good Lord, Carrington, you do n't infer that Mal- lien murdered the vicar?
nyp.33433074861901	Had he any enemies?
nyp.33433074861901	Had you any idea who murdered him?' nyp.33433074861901 Has CARRINGTON'S ADVICE 151 he ever behaved otherwise than honorably?
nyp.33433074861901	Has any stranger from London been seen about the village?
nyp.33433074861901	Has the weapon been found?
nyp.33433074861901	Have you any idea now?
nyp.33433074861901	Have you been outrunning the constable?
nyp.33433074861901	Have you said anything to her?
nyp.33433074861901	Have you seen her? nyp.33433074861901 He says he will, but how can he prove it?"
nyp.33433074861901	How are we going to prove him to be guilty?
nyp.33433074861901	How are you, Miss Mallien?
nyp.33433074861901	How can I believe any good when everyone is so selfish?
nyp.33433074861901	How can I give you what you do n't deserve? nyp.33433074861901 How can we when she wants everyone to bow down to her?"
nyp.33433074861901	How can you advise me to be so dishonest,cried the Squire, indignantly,"you who are a clergyman of the Church of England?"
nyp.33433074861901	How can you fit out an expedition on your in- come?
nyp.33433074861901	How can you prove that I did?
nyp.33433074861901	How can you prove that I was at the Vicarage on that night?
nyp.33433074861901	How can you prove that you did not?
nyp.33433074861901	How can you prove that?
nyp.33433074861901	How can you suggest such a thing? nyp.33433074861901 How could I,"sobbed Mrs. Beatson,"when I have n't been near London?
nyp.33433074861901	How could it be when the will in favor of Eunice was missing?
nyp.33433074861901	How could she comfort you when you refuse to explain things to her?
nyp.33433074861901	How dare you address me in that way?
nyp.33433074861901	How dare you sit there and tell lies about me?
nyp.33433074861901	How do you expect me to welcome you as a daughter- in- law when you behave toward me in this impertinent manner?
nyp.33433074861901	How do you know that I have anything to explain?
nyp.33433074861901	How do you know that?
nyp.33433074861901	How's business, Kit?
nyp.33433074861901	I am quite innocent, so why should n't I be calm?
nyp.33433074861901	I had no idea of discharging you until I discov- 188 THE LOST PARCHMENTAm I not saying so?"
nyp.33433074861901	I should like to know why you knocked me down at all?
nyp.33433074861901	I suppose you do n't know who murdered him?
nyp.33433074861901	I suppose,he remarked, laying a trap for his foe,"that if I hand you over the property, will or no will, you wo n't say anything to the police?"
nyp.33433074861901	I thought that Rupert?
nyp.33433074861901	I thought you were a man?
nyp.33433074861901	I un- derstand that you have not seen the will?
nyp.33433074861901	I understand that you are a staunch and true woman,he said, in a soft voice,"how you came to have such a father?"
nyp.33433074861901	If Leigh finds the will, I presume he will bring it to you this evening at The Big House?
nyp.33433074861901	If he is, why ca n't he show that he is? nyp.33433074861901 If it is a lie,"said Carrington, quite unmoved by her sudden fury,"how comes it that the will is in your possession?"
nyp.33433074861901	If we got married, how could I support you? nyp.33433074861901 If we join forces, what will you ask for your services?"
nyp.33433074861901	In the Muniment Room?
nyp.33433074861901	Is it so hard to understand?
nyp.33433074861901	Is my father playing the game?
nyp.33433074861901	Is that all the praise you can bestow on your future wife?
nyp.33433074861901	Is the day hot?
nyp.33433074861901	Is there any need to worry you?
nyp.33433074861901	It is probable he would, since he has such a sweet nature,said Carrington dryly;"but would Miss Mal- lien obey him?"
nyp.33433074861901	It's hard, I grant,replied Rupert ruefully;"yet, as an honest man, what else can I do?"
nyp.33433074861901	John Hendle's will?
nyp.33433074861901	Knew all what?
nyp.33433074861901	Knowing Hendle as you do, why did you think that?
nyp.33433074861901	Knowing me as you do, can you think me guilty of so cowardly a crime, as to strike down an old man?
nyp.33433074861901	Miss Mallien? nyp.33433074861901 Missing?"
nyp.33433074861901	My dear,Dorinda's eyes opened widely,"what else was there to tell?"
nyp.33433074861901	My duties?
nyp.33433074861901	My knowledge of human nature"Oh, is that all?
nyp.33433074861901	Nice business, is n't it, Hendle? nyp.33433074861901 No, I have n't, unless it was the person who sent that letter?"
nyp.33433074861901	Now did n't I, Squoire?
nyp.33433074861901	Now how much of this tale are we to believe?
nyp.33433074861901	Of course, you will keep Mrs. Beatson quiet?
nyp.33433074861901	Of two hundred a year?
nyp.33433074861901	Oh, did you? nyp.33433074861901 Oh, does it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Oh, have you? nyp.33433074861901 Oh, is there?
nyp.33433074861901	Oh, that is your opinion, is it?
nyp.33433074861901	Oh, would I? nyp.33433074861901 On the other hand, if the will is found and proves to be illegal?
nyp.33433074861901	Port? nyp.33433074861901 Put what things right?"
nyp.33433074861901	So Mal- lien did not tell her that?
nyp.33433074861901	So your evidence is purely circumstantial?
nyp.33433074861901	Some one must have murdered him,said Kit, a trifle dryly;"and why not Mr. Carrington, rather than your father, or the Squire?
nyp.33433074861901	Sophy, are you certain?
nyp.33433074861901	Tell me how your descent runs from John Hen- dle?
nyp.33433074861901	That I should surrender my claim to the property, I sup- pose?
nyp.33433074861901	That Mrs. Beatson is the guilty person?
nyp.33433074861901	That is the younger son from whom Rupert is de- scended?
nyp.33433074861901	That sour.-looking woman with the hard eye?
nyp.33433074861901	That you will come home safe and sound?
nyp.33433074861901	The will?
nyp.33433074861901	Then how comes it you have to do with it now?
nyp.33433074861901	Then how do you know the will exists?
nyp.33433074861901	Then the will really does leave the property to Eunice Filbert?
nyp.33433074861901	Then there was nothing in his past life which suggests any reason why this crime should have been committed?
nyp.33433074861901	Then why am I turned out now?
nyp.33433074861901	Then why are you here? nyp.33433074861901 Then why did n't Tollart say so at the inquest?"
nyp.33433074861901	Then why did n't you tell me as soon as Leigh told you?
nyp.33433074861901	Then you do n't know who struck him?
nyp.33433074861901	There is no entail?
nyp.33433074861901	Treacherously?
nyp.33433074861901	Votes for Women?
nyp.33433074861901	We?
nyp.33433074861901	Well, and what do you want?
nyp.33433074861901	Well, and why not?
nyp.33433074861901	Well, now that we understand one another?
nyp.33433074861901	Well, why not she as well as another? nyp.33433074861901 Well, why should you when you can be happier elsewhere?"
nyp.33433074861901	Well?
nyp.33433074861901	Well?
nyp.33433074861901	What about the police?
nyp.33433074861901	What are you going to do?
nyp.33433074861901	What can Mr. Carrington have to do with our mar- riage?
nyp.33433074861901	What clue could he, or would he, possibly leave?
nyp.33433074861901	What did your father tell you?
nyp.33433074861901	What do I care when I know that I am inno- cent?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you both mean?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean by that, you minx?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you say now, Hendle?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you say, Kit?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you say, doctor?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you say?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you suggest?
nyp.33433074861901	What do you think of this behavior?
nyp.33433074861901	What does all this mean, Rupert?
nyp.33433074861901	What does he know?
nyp.33433074861901	What does he want?
nyp.33433074861901	What does it matter, so long as the damage wo n't be lasting?
nyp.33433074861901	What does that prove?
nyp.33433074861901	What else can I say when you have known Rupert for so many years?
nyp.33433074861901	What else can I say? nyp.33433074861901 What else can you expect,"asked Cairrington coolly,"when they are connected with a drunkard like Tollart and a shrew like Mrs. Beatson?
nyp.33433074861901	What else did he tell you?
nyp.33433074861901	What for?
nyp.33433074861901	What for?
nyp.33433074861901	What good will that do?
nyp.33433074861901	What good will that do?
nyp.33433074861901	What good will that do?
nyp.33433074861901	What grounds have you to say such a thing?
nyp.33433074861901	What is Mrs. Beatson to you that you should defend her so warmly?
nyp.33433074861901	What is his name?
nyp.33433074861901	What is it you know?
nyp.33433074861901	What is strange?
nyp.33433074861901	What is the use of your talking, Carrington? nyp.33433074861901 What makes you say that?"
nyp.33433074861901	What matter?
nyp.33433074861901	What on earth are you talking about?
nyp.33433074861901	What on earth brings you here, vicar?
nyp.33433074861901	What other word applies to your conduct?
nyp.33433074861901	What reason have you to believe that Rupert would do such a wicked thing?
nyp.33433074861901	What the devil do you mean, sir?
nyp.33433074861901	What things?
nyp.33433074861901	What — what — what?
nyp.33433074861901	What's five hundred a year?
nyp.33433074861901	What's gone?
nyp.33433074861901	What's that?
nyp.33433074861901	What's the matter with you?
nyp.33433074861901	What's the use? nyp.33433074861901 What, not to protect myself when you thought of turning me out?"
nyp.33433074861901	What?
nyp.33433074861901	What?
nyp.33433074861901	What?
nyp.33433074861901	What?
nyp.33433074861901	When do you return?
nyp.33433074861901	When does your mother expect her annuity?
nyp.33433074861901	Where is your opal in the matrix?
nyp.33433074861901	Whew, is n't it hot, Hendle?
nyp.33433074861901	Who can it be, I wonder?
nyp.33433074861901	Who could have hurt him, Rupert?
nyp.33433074861901	Who do you think buried the will?
nyp.33433074861901	Who is Kit?
nyp.33433074861901	Who is her father?
nyp.33433074861901	Who is leaving this annuity to your mother?
nyp.33433074861901	Who said as he was alive, Squoire? nyp.33433074861901 Who sent it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Who told you that Carrington threatened me?
nyp.33433074861901	Who will give it to you?
nyp.33433074861901	Who's that?
nyp.33433074861901	Why Sophy?
nyp.33433074861901	Why ca n't you speak straightforwardly? nyp.33433074861901 Why call him names, Carrington?
nyp.33433074861901	Why did n't you go to the door?
nyp.33433074861901	Why did you turn him out of the place yesterday?
nyp.33433074861901	Why do you say that?
nyp.33433074861901	Why not surrender the property to your cousin, sir, without taking the will to the lawyers?
nyp.33433074861901	Why not to me in the first instance?
nyp.33433074861901	Why not? nyp.33433074861901 Why not?
nyp.33433074861901	Why not?
nyp.33433074861901	Why not?
nyp.33433074861901	Why should I do that?
nyp.33433074861901	Why should I go?
nyp.33433074861901	Why should I miss him Squoire when he bain't dead?
nyp.33433074861901	Why should I not take advantage of the Statute, when I run a chance of being made a pauper, and not through my own fault?
nyp.33433074861901	Why should he? nyp.33433074861901 Why should her pride be saved?"
nyp.33433074861901	Why should n't you like him in any case?
nyp.33433074861901	Why?
nyp.33433074861901	Why?
nyp.33433074861901	Why?
nyp.33433074861901	Why?
nyp.33433074861901	Will you lose everything, sir?
nyp.33433074861901	Will you walk along with me toward The Big House and discuss the matter further?
nyp.33433074861901	Wo n't give it to me?
nyp.33433074861901	Wo n't it be better for us to have another look at the will before we go?
nyp.33433074861901	Wo n't you wait until to- morrow?
nyp.33433074861901	Would you not do the same under the same circumstances?
nyp.33433074861901	Would you not give me the money if you had four thousand a year?
nyp.33433074861901	Would you surrender everything without a struggle?
nyp.33433074861901	Yes?
nyp.33433074861901	Yet you know Dorinda?
nyp.33433074861901	You do n't like him?
nyp.33433074861901	You do n't suppose that he has any suspicions of the truth?
nyp.33433074861901	You mean to go back on your bargain?
nyp.33433074861901	You refuse?
nyp.33433074861901	You retired at ten o'clock?
nyp.33433074861901	You say that you found a will, made by John Hendle, leaving the property to Eunice, from whom my cousin Mallien is descended?
nyp.33433074861901	You think you are a fine fellow, do n't you?
nyp.33433074861901	You went to see that — that — that scoun- drel?
nyp.33433074861901	You would n't do that?
nyp.33433074861901	Your father can swear to this visit?
nyp.33433074861901	* 50 THE LOST PARCHMENT"How so?"
nyp.33433074861901	80 THE LOST PARCHMENT without a penny, especially when Mallien is such an unamiable person?"
nyp.33433074861901	And how did you get it, may I ask?"
nyp.33433074861901	And how do you repay me?
nyp.33433074861901	And how is Miss Dorinda?"
nyp.33433074861901	And if the will is n't found?"
nyp.33433074861901	And this talk of our being descended from John Hendle?
nyp.33433074861901	And what deviltry is that?"
nyp.33433074861901	And what does he know of our family history?"
nyp.33433074861901	And why the dickens should he give you money to go on a wild- goose chase?
nyp.33433074861901	And why?
nyp.33433074861901	And your denunciation of me to the police?"
nyp.33433074861901	Anyhow, poor or rich, I was delighted to meet you again. ” “ Were you? ” Hendle appeared to be a trifle scep- tical.
nyp.33433074861901	At what time was the poor chap murdered?"
nyp.33433074861901	Beatson?"
nyp.33433074861901	Beatson?"
nyp.33433074861901	Beatson?"
nyp.33433074861901	Beatson?"
nyp.33433074861901	Beatson?"
nyp.33433074861901	Bothered?
nyp.33433074861901	But 110 THE LOST PARCHMENT are n't we twisting ropes of sand, Carrington?
nyp.33433074861901	But all this may be a mistake on your parb Where is the will?"
nyp.33433074861901	But now?"
nyp.33433074861901	But what does all this mean?"
nyp.33433074861901	But what if he does?"
nyp.33433074861901	But what is the use of arguing?"
nyp.33433074861901	But what is the use of talking?"
nyp.33433074861901	But why did you report the conver- sation to my cousin?"
nyp.33433074861901	But you, near at hand, and""What is the use of talking rubbish?"
nyp.33433074861901	But, as he has made no attempt to secure it, how can I give it to him?
nyp.33433074861901	CARRINGTON'S rADVICE 161"But you do n't mean to infer that she killed the vicar?"
nyp.33433074861901	Ca n't you give me details?"
nyp.33433074861901	Call yourself a man, do you?
nyp.33433074861901	Come now, do n't you think it is best for us to join forces and crush Carrington?
nyp.33433074861901	Come now, what took place in the Vicarage library?"
nyp.33433074861901	Did Mr. Leigh say if he expected any visitor last night?"
nyp.33433074861901	Did you ever see such a rotten place?"
nyp.33433074861901	Did you tell Miss Mallien about it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Do n't they keep bodies a week?"
nyp.33433074861901	Do n't you think so?
nyp.33433074861901	Do you hear?"
nyp.33433074861901	Does that look like dishonesty on my part?"
nyp.33433074861901	Dorinda was straightforward herself?
nyp.33433074861901	Granting that the woman is innocent, why should the real criminal tell her where to find that which he risked his life to obtain?"
nyp.33433074861901	Has any stranger been seen hovering about the Vicar- age?"
nyp.33433074861901	Has she two eyes and a nose with a mouth under it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Have I your good wishes?"
nyp.33433074861901	Have you found the will?"
nyp.33433074861901	Have you seen the will, may I ask?"
nyp.33433074861901	He has always treated you kindly and""Well, why should n't he?"
nyp.33433074861901	He has no enmity against you, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074861901	He is innocent""Is he?
nyp.33433074861901	He paused, then continued:"What train was it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Hendle?"
nyp.33433074861901	Hendle?"
nyp.33433074861901	Her father, I expect?"
nyp.33433074861901	Hot, is n't it?
nyp.33433074861901	How do I know?"
nyp.33433074861901	How should I have any idea?"
nyp.33433074861901	How then can you expect her to sympa- thize with you and help you when there is not perfect confidence between you?"
nyp.33433074861901	I am guilty, and you will condone my guilt on condition that you get my money?"
nyp.33433074861901	I suppose his confession of the deal with Mrs. Beatson would bring him into trouble as an accessory- after- the- fact?"
nyp.33433074861901	I suppose you have come to ask my advice as a friend?"
nyp.33433074861901	I told'em as you wor alive, did n't I, Muster Leigh?"
nyp.33433074861901	I wonder what Do- rinda will say?"
nyp.33433074861901	I wonder why he always has Titus at his heels?"
nyp.33433074861901	If search had not been made for the will in question, for what had the mys- terious murderer been looking?
nyp.33433074861901	If the money is yours, you will have it, so why should Hendle murder a man to get what in the end would not benefit him?
nyp.33433074861901	If your con- duct was not underhand, why did you not come and say good- night to me in my study as usual?"
nyp.33433074861901	In whose favor?"
nyp.33433074861901	Is he the man, father, to kill a weakling like poor Mr. Leigh, for money which he cares very little about?
nyp.33433074861901	Is it not so?"
nyp.33433074861901	It was you, then, who dropped a clue near the sundial to incriminate Mallien?"
nyp.33433074861901	It's my jewelry, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Leigh?"
nyp.33433074861901	Mallien?"
nyp.33433074861901	Picturesque?"
nyp.33433074861901	She'd like to stay on altogether, but Lord bless you, sir, what would the vicar do with such a slut?
nyp.33433074861901	So she intends to go to Australia, does she?
nyp.33433074861901	So your father told you of our inter- view in Leigh's study?"
nyp.33433074861901	Then you think that the assassin was a man?"
nyp.33433074861901	Those were capital days at Rugby, were n't they, Carrington? ” “ They were.
nyp.33433074861901	Well, have you found it, Rupert?"
nyp.33433074861901	Well?"
nyp.33433074861901	Well?"
nyp.33433074861901	Well?"
nyp.33433074861901	What about a wife?"
nyp.33433074861901	What about it?"
nyp.33433074861901	What are you talking about?"
nyp.33433074861901	What are you talking about?"
nyp.33433074861901	What did he wish to see your father about?"
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean by such conduct?"
nyp.33433074861901	What do you mean by that?"
nyp.33433074861901	What do you take me for?"
nyp.33433074861901	What do you want?"
nyp.33433074861901	What do you want?"
nyp.33433074861901	What does your father say, dear?"
nyp.33433074861901	What else is that but blackmail?
nyp.33433074861901	What has she to do with the matter?"
nyp.33433074861901	What is to be done about the murder, Ru- pert?"
nyp.33433074861901	What more do you want?"
nyp.33433074861901	What other Movement is there?"
nyp.33433074861901	What then will be your attitude?"
nyp.33433074861901	What will you do then?"
nyp.33433074861901	What would you like me to do?"
nyp.33433074861901	Whatever made such a good and kind man forge that will?"
nyp.33433074861901	When did you arrive?
nyp.33433074861901	When did you enter into it? ” “ When I was fifteen, twelve years ago, ” replied the Squire, smiling.
nyp.33433074861901	When do you hope to get it?"
nyp.33433074861901	Where was the will found?"
nyp.33433074861901	Who inherits?"
nyp.33433074861901	Who is it you suspect?"
nyp.33433074861901	Who is she?"
nyp.33433074861901	Who knows but what the assassin may not have left some clue?"
nyp.33433074861901	Who mur- dered him?"
nyp.33433074861901	Why are you so exasperatingly modest?"
nyp.33433074861901	Why ca n't you leave me alone?
nyp.33433074861901	Why did n't you come on to the church? ” “ Perhaps you did n't know that we were there, ” suggested Dorinda.
nyp.33433074861901	Why did your father make a will in his favor?"
nyp.33433074861901	Why does the vicar want to go there?"
nyp.33433074861901	Why not?
nyp.33433074861901	Why not?"
nyp.33433074861901	Why not?"
nyp.33433074861901	Will Julius marry again?"
nyp.33433074861901	Will you stop to luncheon?"
nyp.33433074861901	Would you like Mr. Mallien to dwell at The Big House when you we d with his daughter?"
nyp.33433074861901	Would you not do the same were you in my position?"
nyp.33433074861901	Yes?"
nyp.33433074861901	You understand? ” “ Who said anything otherwise, ” growled Mallien savagely, yet retreating dexterously.
nyp.33433074861901	You understand?"
nyp.33433074861901	You understand?"
nyp.33433074861901	You will have an early dinner to- night, Mr. Hendle, will you not, as Mr. Carring- ton is leaving early?"
nyp.33433074861901	call yourself a man?
nyp.33433074861901	cried Dorinda, flaming up,"in what way?"
nyp.33433074861901	do n't you think so?
nyp.33433074861901	do n't you?
nyp.33433074861901	he asked disagreeably, have you found John Hendle's will?"
nyp.33433074861901	he asked;"has the lady changed her mind?
nyp.33433074861901	laughed Carrington,"and her looks?"
nyp.33433074861901	said Carrington reflectively,"it may be; but did you not send that letter from yourself to yourself?"
nyp.33433074861901	sneered Carrington, remembering the hour of the murder,"then you did not commit the crime?"
nyp.33433074861901	taunted the other;"and in what way?"
nyp.33433074861901	“ And why do you say that you ex- pect I have found that out?
nyp.33433074861901	“ Do n’t you remember how I wrote and told you of the death of my father?
nyp.33433076049638	Are you afraid to put it to the test?
nyp.33433076049638	Did you know Dr. Horace? ” “ Yes, ” said Hunter.
nyp.33433076049638	Do n't I look all right?
nyp.33433076049638	Do n't you know that we caught him?
nyp.33433076049638	Good Lord, ” he groaned, jerking out his watch, “ how long have I got to stay here? ” It was only half- past ten.
nyp.33433076049638	Great, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076049638	His bandage is on the wrong eye. ” “ On which eye was it? ” snapped the Chief.
nyp.33433076049638	Oh, he was the body as could make the money. ” “ But it was all gone in the morning, was n’t it? ” “ Yis, sir.
nyp.33433076049638	Or had this invincible plotter been able to sit calmly, there too, when marked before all eyes as a murderer?
nyp.33433076049638	Sa — ay, you do n’t want to hire a hand till a week from next Mon- day, do you? ” The farmer looked him over carefully.
nyp.33433076049638	Should he be coward now and in the face of trial and hardship find defeat?
nyp.33433076049638	That I can work free? ” The Chief nodded.
nyp.33433076049638	Therefore, why not get out of the city by street car?
nyp.33433076049638	Three days are gone, and, 202 A DEEPER TESTING pler or more natural way of flight than that?
nyp.33433076049638	What can he do when he is dirty and disreputable in appearance, when his face is bruised and his clothes are torn?
nyp.33433076049638	What did your wife say? ” “ She said I was a fool. ” The Doctor nodded sagely.
nyp.33433076049638	What had a bold, clever criminal, like this one, done in so short a time?
nyp.33433076049638	What was the use?
nyp.33433076049638	Why had he not dragged the body into a more convenient position?
nyp.33433076049638	Why not let them be implied and let it go at that?
nyp.33433076049638	Would his new method enable him to find what all the others had been unable to discover?
nyp.33433076049638	You ’ll have to pay when you lose. ” “ You agree to the last condition in the contract? ” asked the Doctor.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Come to drop your assignment, eh? ” he said.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Did he have the bandage over his eye? ” He struck his own bandaged face fiercely with his clenched fist.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Do you mean, ” he cried, “ that I go on this by myself?
nyp.33433076049638	“ Have you got the body all right? ” he said.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Here? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Here? ” “ Yis, sir. ” Hunter started away from the book- case toward her.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Hey, ” cried Holt, running over, “ have you spilt all the milk? ” “ No, ” replied Wallace, “ it ’s all in the cow yet.
nyp.33433076049638	“ How can a man live two weeks on twenty- nine cents?
nyp.33433076049638	“ How did you bring her around? ” “ Oh, when I explained it to her she said I ought to win, and I promised her half of the thousand.
nyp.33433076049638	“ I did n’t think to see an- other man with a black bandage. ” “ What are you doing here, Doyle? ” asked Detective Hunter.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Is that surely you, Ed Wallace? ” asked the Doctor.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Now what shall I do for the next two weeks? ” he said as he hunted out a shady 139 THE CASE OF DOCTOR HORACE bench in the Grand Circus Park.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Now, if I ’m on the right track, what do I do?
nyp.33433076049638	“ Now, why, in the name of all that's human, do I stay here till three o'clock? ” he growled.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Report, eh?
nyp.33433076049638	“ The right. ” “ And on the murderer? ” “ The left. ” The Chief thought a moment and then suddenly swore.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Walked and bumped yourself, did you? ” he shouted.
nyp.33433076049638	“ What did he want? ” asked Hunter.
nyp.33433076049638	“ What do you think of me?
nyp.33433076049638	“ What time is it? ” whispered Wallace.
nyp.33433076049638	“ What ’s the mat- ter?
nyp.33433076049638	“ What ’s the matter? ” asked Hunter.
nyp.33433076049638	“ Where was the man sitting while you were here? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074843636	- “ Another young lady? ” questioned Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	- “ Understand what we ’ve just discovered, son? ” he inquired mildly.
nyp.33433074843636	- “ You ’ve no idea as to the identity of the woman in the taxicab, have you, Gresham? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074843636	244 MIDNIGHT Suppose you start at the beginning — and tell me what there is to tell? ” She hesitated.
nyp.33433074843636	29 for New York — due to leave at 11.55 last night. ” “ You ’re sure he bought two tickets and a drawing- room?
nyp.33433074843636	46 MIDNIGHT “ What is this — a game?
nyp.33433074843636	58 MIDNIGHT “ You do n’t think she was? ” “ Oh, Mr. Carroll!
nyp.33433074843636	72 MIDNIGHT “ You sold some tickets to Roland Warren? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ When? ”.
nyp.33433074843636	72 MIDNIGHT “ You sold some tickets to Roland Warren? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ When? ”.
nyp.33433074843636	About thirty- three years old. ” “ Business? ” “ None.
nyp.33433074843636	Ai n't I right? ” “ You may not be right, Leverage; but you ’re certainly logical. ” “ Good!
nyp.33433074843636	Ai n’t suspecting her of being the woman in the taxi, are you? ” “ Good Lord!
nyp.33433074843636	Alarm the neighborhood, and identify himself with the crime?
nyp.33433074843636	An ’ also, sir, she used to write him notes — most every day. ” “ You have some of those notes? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	An ’ in Jersey City some, and Pater- son, and a little while in Brooklyn. ” “ You met Mr. Warren where? ” “ In New York.
nyp.33433074843636	And I do n’t think it ’s wicked to love swearing, do you?
nyp.33433074843636	And as for me bein ’ a woman — well, you ’re sure a woman killed him, ai n't you? ” “ As sure as any one can be.
nyp.33433074843636	And as he come in one door, I beat it out of the other. ” “ Why? ” snappel Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	And by the way: are you in the habit of indulging in these solitary debauches in neighboring cities? ” Lawrence flushed.
nyp.33433074843636	And did I really help you by what I told you the other day? ” “ You certainly did, Miss Rogers.
nyp.33433074843636	And finally she extended a pleading hand — “ Please — don't think that! ” “ What? ” “ That is was — was my husband.
nyp.33433074843636	And now suppose we go back to town?
nyp.33433074843636	And now — I believe you came to tell me something about the Warren case? ” “ Oh, yes, indeed — just lots!
nyp.33433074843636	And now — ” “ Back to that awful crime again, are n’t you?
nyp.33433074843636	And now”—Carroll rose and reached for the check—“suppose we go? ” 120 MIDNIGHT “ Where? ” she asked naively.
nyp.33433074843636	And now”—Carroll rose and reached for the check—“suppose we go? ” 120 MIDNIGHT “ Where? ” she asked naively.
nyp.33433074843636	And publication of this would hurt him — ” “ Because he cares for you? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074843636	And there ’s your dope — ” “ And on the night of the murder? ” ques- tioned Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	And what caused the discovery? ” “ The way you acted just now.
nyp.33433074843636	And would you believe that Sis — who is scared of her shadow at night — was the one who suggested that I go spend the night with Hazel?
nyp.33433074843636	And you ca n’t do it! ” “ Why not? ” “ Because I was in Nashville at that time.
nyp.33433074843636	Answer me this, David: if you had to point out one person right now as the guilty one — which'd you choose? ” Carroll shook his head.
nyp.33433074843636	Any objections to discussing them? ” In spite of himself, Spike felt a genial warm- ing toward this boyish- faced man.
nyp.33433074843636	Any time you run across anything more that you think might prove of interest, look me up, will you? ” “ Sure!
nyp.33433074843636	As to how matters stand — I say Thank God! ” “ Why? ” “ Garry Gresham will undoubtedly be freed; it was a clear case of self- defense.
nyp.33433074843636	Ask me somethin’ easy, will you?
nyp.33433074843636	At least, it is pretty positive that he was not planning to go alone. ” “ Yes?
nyp.33433074843636	Barker fidgeted nervously, and finally, when the strain became too great, burst out with: THE WALET TALKS 81 “ Who are you fellers?
nyp.33433074843636	Because at that moment, too, I knew that you knew l ’ ’ The young man turned back to the detec- tives—“And what now? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433074843636	Believe me — it ’s some perfume, too! ” “ You say Mr. Warren gave it to her? ” “ He sure did.
nyp.33433074843636	Besides, he ’s away a good deal. ” “ He is, eh?
nyp.33433074843636	But about the Warren case? ” “ Oh, yes, certainly!
nyp.33433074843636	But are you sure she packed it? ” “ I ’ll say I am.
nyp.33433074843636	But her kid sister will suffer too — ” “ You do n’t think, Carroll — that she looked like that kind? ” “ Good God!
nyp.33433074843636	But how?
nyp.33433074843636	But of course we ’ll look more deeply into it. ” “ How? ” Again Carroll chuckled.
nyp.33433074843636	Carroll spoke: “ Miss Gresham, you mean? ” “ Sure, David — sure!
nyp.33433074843636	Certainly. ” “ Do you admit that you killed Roland War- ren? ” Her startled eyes flashed to his.
nyp.33433074843636	Did you ever stop to realize, Eric, that when a crime is committed the advantage lies entirely with the detective?
nyp.33433074843636	Do me that favor, wo n’t you?
nyp.33433074843636	Do n't ask me how I could consider such a thing?
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you know? ” “ Well — yes.
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you sup- pose I noticed that the clothes she was packing in that suit- case were hers? ” “ Really? ”- “ You bet your life, I noticed.
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you sup- pose I noticed that the clothes she was packing in that suit- case were hers? ” “ Really? ”- “ You bet your life, I noticed.
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you suppose that I know whether I killed him?
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you think I'm right? ” “ I would n’t admit it if I did n’t, Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you think it ’s a lot of trouble sometimes — thinking of just the right word in the right place? ” “ Sometimes.
nyp.33433074843636	Do n’t you? ” “ M- m!
nyp.33433074843636	Do you know, when I'm with you, I feel inspired to great deeds — to noble — er — attainments. ” “ Really? ” “ Uh- huh!
nyp.33433074843636	Do you mean to tell me that you were the woman in the taxicab? ” She was biting her lips nervously.
nyp.33433074843636	Do you think I ’m going to feed pap to you? ” Carroll reflected carefully for a moment.
nyp.33433074843636	Get that? ” “ We do.
nyp.33433074843636	Go into a house near by, wake the resi- dents, telephone headquarters that a murder had been done?
nyp.33433074843636	Have you seen Barker since the night Mr. Warren was killed? ” “ Yes. ” He could scarcely distinguish her answer.
nyp.33433074843636	Have you? ” “ None whatever; though I fancy something ought to develop in the near future.
nyp.33433074843636	Hazel has been act- ing so peculiarly lately — ” “ That's natural, is n’t it, Miss Rogers?
nyp.33433074843636	He must do something — something, but what?
nyp.33433074843636	He swears simply elegantly! ” “ Indeed? ” “ I love it.
nyp.33433074843636	He was in the house eighteen minutes. ”- “ Why was n’t this told me last night? ” “ Cartwright did n’t think anything of it.
nyp.33433074843636	He would n't — ” “ Why not? ” “ Anyway — it is impossible.
nyp.33433074843636	Her answer was al- most inaudible — “ No! ” “ You did not kill him? ” Carroll was im- pressed with the nuance of truth in her answer.
nyp.33433074843636	His face betrayed 86 MIDNIGHT “ Oh, her?
nyp.33433074843636	His voice cracked out: “ What's your name? ” 82 MIDNIGHT s Barker met his gaze; then the eyes of the ex- valet shifted.
nyp.33433074843636	Honest? ” “ He ’s not exactly jovial. ” “ He ’s a lemon!
nyp.33433074843636	How about it? ” “ Bum steer, chief!
nyp.33433074843636	How could she be?
nyp.33433074843636	How could she have?
nyp.33433074843636	How do we know, though, but what they were sore as a pup over it, and just kept their traps closed because they did n’t want any gossip?
nyp.33433074843636	How had she man- aged to leave the taxicab?
nyp.33433074843636	How long has this engagement been known? ” “ Couple of months.
nyp.33433074843636	How? ” Spike controlled himself with an effort.
nyp.33433074843636	I almos ’ froze to death. ” “ And yet you continued to stand there? ” “ Sure — I was curious.
nyp.33433074843636	I believe we eat too much anyway, do n’t you, Mr. Carroll?
nyp.33433074843636	I do n't! ” “ You knew he was planning to elope, though? ” The man shook his head doggedly.
nyp.33433074843636	I have known him by sight for a long time. ” “ About the tickets — what did he buy? ” “ Two tickets and a drawing- room on No.
nyp.33433074843636	I have n’t got a bit excited over it, have I? ” “ Not a bit.
nyp.33433074843636	I mean was any one besides your family there? ” “ Yes, ” replied Gresham, showing surprise at Carroll ’s evident knowledge of facts.
nyp.33433074843636	I mean — am I not?
nyp.33433074843636	I told you that once. ” “ Where is your home?
nyp.33433074843636	I was in Nashville. ” “ At What hotel? ” “ At the ” Lawrence paused.
nyp.33433074843636	I wonder if it is possible for you to comprehend their psychological reactions?
nyp.33433074843636	I wonder just what he meant? ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433074843636	I ’m always getting off my subject, ai n't I?
nyp.33433074843636	I ’m getting horribly domes- tic since Hazel became engaged, because she is learning — ” “ And after you made the waffles? ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433074843636	If he was n’t going to marry her, what did he ever get engaged to her for? ” Carroll nodded.
nyp.33433074843636	Is n’t that reason- able? ” “ I do n’t believe I am here to answer ques- tions, Mr. Lawrence.
nyp.33433074843636	Is that so strange? ” She did not answer, and for several minutes they sat in silence — each intent in thought.
nyp.33433074843636	Is this Mr. Carroll — the fa- mous detective? ” “ I am David Carroll — yes. ” She inspected him with frank approval.
nyp.33433074843636	It costs twelve dollars an ounce! ” “ No? ” “ Yeh — goodness knows how much a pound would cost.
nyp.33433074843636	It just occurred to me to ask him is he sure? ” The reporter flushed.
nyp.33433074843636	It was Carroll who broke the stillness: “ Do you know William Barker? ” “ Barker?
nyp.33433074843636	It was Carroll who broke the stillness: “ Do you know William Barker? ” “ Barker?
nyp.33433074843636	It was Law- rence who broke the silence — “ Is — this — what you — detectives — call the third degree? ” “ It is not.
nyp.33433074843636	It ’s a damned shame! ” “ How about his relations with women? ” The reporter hesitated and glanced guiltily at the dead body.
nyp.33433074843636	It ’s a terrible bore, do n’t you think? ” “ Yes, Miss Rogers.
nyp.33433074843636	It ’s asking too much — ” “ Then what do you think happened? ” “ I do n’t think.
nyp.33433074843636	It's funny, is n’t it, how old folks will get those queer ideas? ” “ Your sister is so very old? ” “ Terribly.
nyp.33433074843636	It's funny, is n’t it, how old folks will get those queer ideas? ” “ Your sister is so very old? ” “ Terribly.
nyp.33433074843636	It's the woman ’s suit- case, and if we ca n’t find out who she is from that, we ’re pretty bum, eh? ” 26 MIDNIGHT “ Looks so, Eric.
nyp.33433074843636	Leverage spoke again softly — “ Have n’t We? ” “ I suppose we have — ” “ Well? ” Another long silence.
nyp.33433074843636	Leverage spoke again softly — “ Have n’t We? ” “ I suppose we have — ” “ Well? ” Another long silence.
nyp.33433074843636	Most of the women we know do n’t go in for killing men; and a heap of them are married, anyway. ” “ Anyway? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	Not a single thing escapes your eagle eye, does it? ” She pouted.
nyp.33433074843636	Not in real life? ” Carroll with difficulty concealed a smile.
nyp.33433074843636	Now get Out! ” “ I ’m free? ” questioned the man eagerly.
nyp.33433074843636	Now, Carroll — are you ready with your little cate- chism? ” “ Yes. ” The detective ’s voice was quite calm.
nyp.33433074843636	Of course, he pretended that he came around because he liked Sis and Gerald — ” “ Gerald? ” “ That's Mr. Lawrence.
nyp.33433074843636	Only thing is, where did he get in? ” “ That's what is going to interest us for some time to come, I ’m afraid.
nyp.33433074843636	Or was it one ticket? ” “ It had to be two.
nyp.33433074843636	Paid cash in advance. ” “ He ’s in his room, ai n't he? ” “ What if he is?
nyp.33433074843636	Paid cash in advance. ” “ He ’s in his room, ai n't he? ” “ What if he is?
nyp.33433074843636	Pretty nice sort. ” “ Rich, is n't he? ” 44 MIDNIGHT “ Reputed to be.
nyp.33433074843636	Rather the reverse, in fact. ” “ Ever been mixed up in a scandal? ” “ Not publicly.
nyp.33433074843636	Real nice feller. ” “ You were fond of him? ” “ I did n’t say I was in love with him.
nyp.33433074843636	S'posin ’ they were trying to break things off, an ’ makin ’ it pretty uncomfortable for the girl?
nyp.33433074843636	Say — ” she looked up eagerly—“ain’t he the darndest old crab you ever saw in your life? ” “ Why, I — ” “ Ai n’t he?
nyp.33433074843636	Say — ” she looked up eagerly—“ain’t he the darndest old crab you ever saw in your life? ” “ Why, I — ” “ Ai n’t he?
nyp.33433074843636	Say, what are you tryin ’ to do — trip me up or some- thin ’? ” “ Of course not.
nyp.33433074843636	She is ancient, is n’t she? ” “ Awfully!
nyp.33433074843636	She walked.straight out of the door and toward the curb, and — ” “ Did she appear to be expecting some one? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	She ’s a good scout, too, even if she is a kid. ” “ How old? ” “ Hardly more than twenty; but her family seemed to welcome the match.
nyp.33433074843636	She's the person that killed him! ” “ He knew a good many women? ” suggested Carroll interrogatively.
nyp.33433074843636	So even if she could have killed him, she would n’t, would she? ” “ I hope not; but you said she could n’t.
nyp.33433074843636	So that explains his visits, and his plentiful supply of money? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	Some evening? ” “ If you will allow me. ” “ Allow you?
nyp.33433074843636	Some evening? ” “ If you will allow me. ” “ Allow you?
nyp.33433074843636	Something to make us sure — to give us a clincher?
nyp.33433074843636	Sounds all right so far? ” “ Perfectly, ” said Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	Sºpose that, eh? ” “ Yes, ” argued the reporter.
nyp.33433074843636	THE SUIT- CASE AGAIN 171 “ Well, you see — I suppose I was jealous of your elegantly dressed young friend. ” “ Him?
nyp.33433074843636	That ’s how I learned so much about detectiving — or is n’t that what you call it? ” “ Detecting? ” “ That's it.
nyp.33433074843636	That ’s how I learned so much about detectiving — or is n’t that what you call it? ” “ Detecting? ” “ That's it.
nyp.33433074843636	That ’s what you think, eh? ” “ I know a woman killed him. ”- “ You were present? ” “ Bah!
nyp.33433074843636	That ’s what you think, eh? ” “ I know a woman killed him. ”- “ You were present? ” “ Bah!
nyp.33433074843636	That ’s why I called you. ” “ When did he die?
nyp.33433074843636	The city is discussing it pretty freely? ” “ The town's wild about it.
nyp.33433074843636	Then suddenly his voice crackled across the room—“You know, of course, that you are sus- pected of Warren's murder? ” NO ALIBI 153 Silence!
nyp.33433074843636	There again the trail of the dead man and the vanished woman crossed; else why was she carrying his suit- case?
nyp.33433074843636	They must be very happy together. ” “ Happy?
nyp.33433074843636	This time he was there four minutes. ” “ Does Cartwright know who was at home at that time? ” “ He thinks so.
nyp.33433074843636	Trying to trap me — are you?
nyp.33433074843636	Understand? ” “ Yes, sir, I do — thankin'you, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	Understand? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	Wait a minute — I did! ” “ Where? ” “ At the R. L. and T. railroad crossing, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	We slept in the same bed — and that ’s certainly proof enough, is n’t it? ” “ I suppose so. ” MISS EVELYN ROGERS 61 “ You suppose?
nyp.33433074843636	We slept in the same bed — and that ’s certainly proof enough, is n’t it? ” “ I suppose so. ” MISS EVELYN ROGERS 61 “ You suppose?
nyp.33433074843636	Well, it is n’t likely she was sending that to Gerald, is it? ” “ Hardly.
nyp.33433074843636	What a night! ” “ Pretty cold, ai n't it? ” “ Cold? ” Spike Walters looked up antago- nistically.
nyp.33433074843636	What a night! ” “ Pretty cold, ai n't it? ” “ Cold? ” Spike Walters looked up antago- nistically.
nyp.33433074843636	What city have you lived in mostly? ” The man hesitated.
nyp.33433074843636	What did you mean by that? ” “ I mean that nobody can be in two places at one time.
nyp.33433074843636	What did you mean by that? ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433074843636	What do I care about candy?
nyp.33433074843636	What do you think? ” “ I think this, ” answered Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	What do you want? ” At sound of a human voice, Spike instantly felt easier.
nyp.33433074843636	What he did n’t know about women their own husbands could n’t tell him. ” “ Married ones? ” “ Oh, sure!
nyp.33433074843636	What made you think I had? ” “ I do n’t think so.
nyp.33433074843636	What makes you think that? ” Barker's eyes narrowed.
nyp.33433074843636	What was there to do?
nyp.33433074843636	What you got to do with that? ” Carroll showed his badge.
nyp.33433074843636	What ’s he doin’ here? ” “ He says he came to call.
nyp.33433074843636	Whatcha want? ” Carroll spoke softly.
nyp.33433074843636	When had the man, who now lay sprawled in the cab, entered it?
nyp.33433074843636	When was his last out- of- town trip? ” Carroll was interested now — he had steered the conversation back to matters of importance: “ Oh!
nyp.33433074843636	When was it? ” “ It was the day before Mr. Warren died — I always remember everything now by that date.
nyp.33433074843636	Where did you spend the night? ” Lawrence shook his head helplessly.
nyp.33433074843636	Where was she?
nyp.33433074843636	Where ’s his room? ” The woman ’s face grew ashen.
nyp.33433074843636	Who did? ” “ I do n’t know — ” Suddenly his expression changed.
nyp.33433074843636	Who was she? ” For the first time Barker's eyes shifted.
nyp.33433074843636	Why do you doubt me?
nyp.33433074843636	Why in the world should she be prejudiced against the man who is trying to locate the slayer of her fiancé? ” “ Ask me something easy.
nyp.33433074843636	Why should I be interested in tripping you up? ” “ You was sayin ’ — ” “ Do n’t be foolish, Barker!
nyp.33433074843636	Why should I wrack myself with the story when you do not even believe the reason upon which it is based?
nyp.33433074843636	Why should he kill Mr. Warren?
nyp.33433074843636	Why, man, that ’s Roland Warren l ’ ’- “ Warren'Roland Warren l Not the club- man? ” “ The very same one, Carroll, an ” none other.
nyp.33433074843636	Wo n't you be seated? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	You are William Barker? ” “ An ’ what if I am?
nyp.33433074843636	You are William Barker? ” “ An ’ what if I am?
nyp.33433074843636	You drove straight out here, Walters? ” “ Straight as a bee- line, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	You guessed? ” 92 MIDNIGHT “ No, I did n't do nothin’ of the kind.
nyp.33433074843636	You invited me to ask them. ” Naomi broke in, her voice choked with hys- teria—“What are you leading to, Mr. Carroll?
nyp.33433074843636	You knew more about the dead man than any one else; but I could n’t think you had anything CARROLL MAKES A MOVE 97 to do with it, could I?
nyp.33433074843636	You may not believe it, but I ’ve always heen atrociously in love with you. ” “ No? ” “ Yes, indeed!
nyp.33433074843636	You think this dame was a society SOrt? ” “ Probably.
nyp.33433074843636	You under- stand where I mean?
nyp.33433074843636	You would n’t expect a nice chap like Roland to be eloping with a married woman, would you?
nyp.33433074843636	You ’re dead sure about that ticket dope, ai n’t you?
nyp.33433074843636	You ’ve heard of Garry Gresham?
nyp.33433074843636	You're satisfied”—this to Walters—“that that is her suit- case? ” “ Absolutely.
nyp.33433074843636	Your name is William Barker? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	do you play: really?
nyp.33433074843636	“ A dead man? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who is he? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074843636	“ A dead man? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who is he? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074843636	“ A lady? ” Freda shrugged.
nyp.33433074843636	“ A regular devil with'em, eh, Barker? ” “ You spoke a mouthful that time, Mr. Car- roll!
nyp.33433074843636	“ About four o'clock in the afternoon. ” “ Where did you go?
nyp.33433074843636	“ And as you are, I'm making so bold as to ask what you ’re going to do next? ” “ A little general inquiring.
nyp.33433074843636	“ And if you will tell me the whole story, Mrs. Lawrence — I shall see what I can do for you. ” “ What is there to do for me?
nyp.33433074843636	“ And now: is it not a fact that you despised Warren even though you pretended to be his friend? ” “ That, too, is my business, Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Any idea where she was going? ” questioned Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Are you Mr. Carroll? ” 64- REGARDING ROLAND WARREN 65 “ Yes. ” “ I ’m Gresham — Garrison Gresham. ” “ A- a- ah!
nyp.33433074843636	“ But what I ca n’t understand, Barker, and what you might help me figure out, is this — why should Miss Gresham kill Mr. Warren? ” “ Huh!
nyp.33433074843636	“ But where does it get us? ” º “ Just this far, ” explained Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Cab, miss? ” He pulled up short before her.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Can I smoke, Mr. Carroll? ”- “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Day before yesterday. ” “ You are sure it was Mr. Warren? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Did you see that man, Miss Rogers? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you know him? ” “ Goodness me, no!
nyp.33433074843636	“ Did you see that man, Miss Rogers? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do you know him? ” “ Goodness me, no!
nyp.33433074843636	“ Do n’t you understand?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Do you mean that — or is it bait to make me talk? ” “ I can not do more than repeat my statement.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Either of you chaps know anything of War- ren ’s personal history? ” The elder of the two nodded.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Engaged? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Engaged? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Everything? ” “ Everything — or nothing.
nyp.33433074843636	“ For what? ” “ For — for the murder of Roland Warren! ” The detective shook his head.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Good Lord! ” “ You know him? ” questioned Carroll easily.
nyp.33433074843636	“ HOW SO? ” “ He was planning to take a trip with her. ” Leverage glanced at the other man with an admixture of skepticism and wonder.
nyp.33433074843636	“ He got along pretty well with them? ” “ H- m! ” William Barker nodded.
nyp.33433074843636	“ How about Miss Gresham's brother? ” he inquired idly.
nyp.33433074843636	“ How about it, Leverage? ” “ Sure, ” growled Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	“ How about this case, chief? ” “ How about it? ” “ You want me to butt in on it? ” “ Want you?
nyp.33433074843636	“ How about this case, chief? ” “ How about it? ” “ You want me to butt in on it? ” “ Want you?
nyp.33433074843636	“ How about this case, chief? ” “ How about it? ” “ You want me to butt in on it? ” “ Want you?
nyp.33433074843636	“ How about this case, chief? ” “ How about it? ” “ You want me to butt in on it? ” “ Want you?
nyp.33433074843636	“ How did you guess that? ” “ I did n’t guess it.
nyp.33433074843636	“ I do n’t give a damn how smart you fly- cops are — you ca n’t prove nothin’ on me. ” “ That So? ” “ Yes — that's so.
nyp.33433074843636	“ I have — a little. ” “ I wonder if you would?
nyp.33433074843636	“ I knew — I knew — ” “ You knew what, Mrs. Lawrence? ” “ I knew that you would not believe me.
nyp.33433074843636	“ I reckon you ’re wonderin ’, Carroll, about what I said back yonder in the car? ” “ About arresting Barker? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ I reckon you ’re wonderin ’, Carroll, about what I said back yonder in the car? ” “ About arresting Barker? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ I wonder if you understand women, Mr. Carroll?
nyp.33433074843636	“ I wonder, Miss Rogers, whether you'd allow me to call on you some evening? ” Evelyn's eyes popped open with the marvel of it.
nyp.33433074843636	“ I ’d be delighted to ride you to Miss Gresham ’s in my car — ” “ Would you?
nyp.33433074843636	“ I ’ll be honest, Carroll — I took several drinks — ”** Alone? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Is n’t it true, Mrs. Lawrence, that you were the woman in the taxi- cab the night Mr. Warren was killed? ” She inclined her head.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Is n’t there anything we can do, Eric — before we start something that no human power can stop?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Jealous?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Know him?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Lordy, Mr. Carroll, I could n’t be knowing that. ” “ You ’re sure the woman got into your cab alone? ” “ Absolutely, sir.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Murder? ” “ You said it, Mr. Carroll. ” Leverage had risen.
nyp.33433074843636	“ My name is David Carroll — ” “ O- o- oh"So you ’re David Carroll? ” The query was a sincere tribute.
nyp.33433074843636	“ No? ” “ Yes, indeed. ” “ Well, you do n’t look it.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Of course he was n't; but you know, of course?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Oh, what'll the girls say when I tell'em? ” Carroll climbed thoughtfully back into his A DISCOVERY 123 car.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Quite wrong! ” “ You are sure? ” “ I know!
nyp.33433074843636	“ Reckon she might have been jealous of him? ” drawled Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Regarding Barker? ” Carroll hitched his chair forward eagerly.
nyp.33433074843636	“ She wants to see me? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433074843636	“ So now, ” questioned Leverage—“what are you going to do: deny it? ” “ No! ” snapped Carroll—“I ca n’t.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Sure? ” “ The flame from the gun has scorched his clothes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ That does seem old to you, does n’t it? ” “ Treacherously I do n’t know what I ’d ever do if I was to get that old.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Though darned if I know how you do it? ” “ A combination of luck and common sense, ” returned Carroll simply.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Want the coroner? ” “ Surely; and you might also call in the news- papermen. ” “ Eht Reporters? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Want the coroner? ” “ Surely; and you might also call in the news- papermen. ” “ Eht Reporters? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ We always did know more about each other than we were told, did n’t we, Little Sis?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Well? ” he inquired inhospitably.
nyp.33433074843636	“ What did Gerald say? ” “ He said, “ Damned impertinence! ’ ” “ H'm- m!
nyp.33433074843636	“ What ’s he been doin’? ” she quavered.
nyp.33433074843636	“ What's he been up to now? ” “ What ’s he been up to before this? ” count- ered Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	“ What's he been up to now? ” “ What ’s he been up to before this? ” count- ered Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	“ What's the idea? ” questioned Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	“ What's the use, Mr. Carroll?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Where do you usually go with young gentle- men who meet you down- town in the after- noons? ” “ Picture show, ” she answered frankly.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Where were they? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Who ’s that? ” questioned Leverage.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Who? ” “ Evelyn Rogers spent the night with her.
nyp.33433074843636	“ William Barker? ” “ What if that is my name? ” Carroll's hands spread wide.
nyp.33433074843636	“ William Barker? ” “ What if that is my name? ” Carroll's hands spread wide.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Would n't you just adore to see that picture at the Trianon to- day?
nyp.33433074843636	“ Yes. ” 240 MIDNIGHT “ You admit that you were the woman in the taxicab? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Yes. ” “ And that you shot Roland Warren? ” “ Y- yes — And when I read in the paper that you knew who did it — I came right down here.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Yes. ” “ What is it? ” “ Yesterday afternoon at five o'clock William Barker went to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lawrence.
nyp.33433074843636	“ Yet you're disappointed in Ime? ” “ A little — yes, ” said Leverage honestly.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You are quite sure that you killed Mr. Warren? ” “ Yes, I'm sure.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You came to see me? ” “ About the Warren case. ” “ You know something about it? ” “ Yes! ” The young man seemed to bite the word.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You came to see me? ” “ About the Warren case. ” “ You know something about it? ” “ Yes! ” The young man seemed to bite the word.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You did come here to inquire about Warren, did n’t you? ” Carroll could not forbear a dig.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You did what? ” queried Carroll.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You do? ” “ Yes, I do.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You have made no new discoveries at all? ” “ Well — I’d hardly say that. ” CARROLL DECIDES 263 statements.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You know as well as me who she was? ” “ Who was she? ” Carroll's voice fairly snapped.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You know as well as me who she was? ” “ Who was she? ” Carroll's voice fairly snapped.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You know something about this chap? ” “ More or less.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You mean you want to come and call on me?
nyp.33433074843636	“ You think, then — that if he did — he would be acquitted? ” 255 CARROLL DECIDES 257 of indiscriminate arrests.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You thought of something — something which made it necessary for you to get to him? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You wish to see me? ” “ Yes, sir, I do.
nyp.33433074843636	“ You ’re pretty sure Cartwright has the straight dope? ” “ Sure thing, ” said the chief.
nyp.33433074843636	“ ’ Bout a half- block. ” “ And you were shooting pool there? ” “ Sure I was I c'n prove it. ” Carroll grinned disengagingly.
nyp.33433074929708	Also what? nyp.33433074929708 And did you, too, procure the Indians who were to take me out to sea and drown me?"
nyp.33433074929708	And he left money behind?
nyp.33433074929708	And the other — Zara's reasons? nyp.33433074929708 And you will not hate me?
nyp.33433074929708	Are you mad?
nyp.33433074929708	Are you mad?
nyp.33433074929708	Did he do that?
nyp.33433074929708	Did he say all that, Paz? nyp.33433074929708 Did he?"
nyp.33433074929708	Did n't your father leave any ready money, then?
nyp.33433074929708	Did she get a place as governess?
nyp.33433074929708	Did you know his — mother — too; the lady who had been Miss Leigh?
nyp.33433074929708	Do n't tell whom?
nyp.33433074929708	Do n't you like the stuff, or what? nyp.33433074929708 Do you like Sebastian?"
nyp.33433074929708	Do you pass the night here?
nyp.33433074929708	Do you wonder? nyp.33433074929708 Even though my uncle — if he was my uncle and not my father — spoke the truth and told everything exactly as it occurred, how is it to be proved?
nyp.33433074929708	For suppose,he thought to himself,"that when I get to it I find it shut up or in the occu- pation of some other settler — what am I to do then?
nyp.33433074929708	Had he not,Julian said,"had he not, Beatrix?
nyp.33433074929708	Has she been with him already,Julian wondered,"and informed him that their pre- cious schemes are at an end, are discovered?"
nyp.33433074929708	How can he have taken too much? nyp.33433074929708 How can that be accounted for?
nyp.33433074929708	How long did you say you had known Mr. Ritherdon and his household?
nyp.33433074929708	How should I? nyp.33433074929708 How so?"
nyp.33433074929708	How so?
nyp.33433074929708	I suppose you have heard of my little adventure on the horse you so kindly exchanged for my mustang?
nyp.33433074929708	I wonder why Zara is such a good friend of mine?
nyp.33433074929708	I — will you believe what I say?
nyp.33433074929708	If,he said,"it pains you to tell me anything of the past, why — why — tell it at all?
nyp.33433074929708	Is she?
nyp.33433074929708	Is there, then, an antidote?
nyp.33433074929708	It will save — him?
nyp.33433074929708	Leave him, you would say Why? nyp.33433074929708 Madame Carmaux?"
nyp.33433074929708	May you not retreat to preserve your life?
nyp.33433074929708	Mr. Ritherdon, Sebastian's father, had n't seen him for many years, had he? nyp.33433074929708 No?
nyp.33433074929708	No?
nyp.33433074929708	Not for what?
nyp.33433074929708	Not for your life? nyp.33433074929708 Paz, has he killed you?
nyp.33433074929708	She went to Desolada,Julian said,"after Mrs. Ritherdon's death?
nyp.33433074929708	So, Snowball,Julian said to this descend- ant of African kings,"this ends your journey, eh?
nyp.33433074929708	The snakes do n't hate him, do they? nyp.33433074929708 To him?"
nyp.33433074929708	Was it, though? nyp.33433074929708 Was that it?"
nyp.33433074929708	Well, my Queen of Night,he said to the former,"and how are you?
nyp.33433074929708	What am I to believe? nyp.33433074929708 What brings you here?
nyp.33433074929708	What can you mean? nyp.33433074929708 What could.1 say in such circumstances?
nyp.33433074929708	What did Mr. Ritherdon strike you for this morning?
nyp.33433074929708	What do you expect to do there?
nyp.33433074929708	What do you mean, Paz?
nyp.33433074929708	What do you suspect?
nyp.33433074929708	What does it mean?
nyp.33433074929708	What does it mean?
nyp.33433074929708	What have I said?
nyp.33433074929708	What is it, father?
nyp.33433074929708	What is it?
nyp.33433074929708	What is it?
nyp.33433074929708	What is it?
nyp.33433074929708	What is it?
nyp.33433074929708	What is it?
nyp.33433074929708	What is she to Him? nyp.33433074929708 What secret?"
nyp.33433074929708	What the deuce is the matter with me — or it? nyp.33433074929708 What will they do?"
nyp.33433074929708	What? nyp.33433074929708 What?"
nyp.33433074929708	What?
nyp.33433074929708	Where is that man?
nyp.33433074929708	Who are you? nyp.33433074929708 Who are you?"
nyp.33433074929708	Who is she?
nyp.33433074929708	Who is she?
nyp.33433074929708	Who? nyp.33433074929708 Why does she warn me thus,"he muttered to himself as now he began to undress slowly,"why?
nyp.33433074929708	Why not speak of her? nyp.33433074929708 Why not?
nyp.33433074929708	Why should he? nyp.33433074929708 Why?"
nyp.33433074929708	YOU WILL FORGIVE?
nyp.33433074929708	YOU WILL FORGIVE?
nyp.33433074929708	Yet, granting this, how — how can it be? nyp.33433074929708 Yet, if so, why those mysterious visits to your bedroom window, why that haunt- ing the neighbourhood of your room at mid- night?"
nyp.33433074929708	You do not believe his story?
nyp.33433074929708	You do not object to this?

nyp.33433074929708	You wonder?

nyp.33433074929708	Also""Also what?"
nyp.33433074929708	Also, if a child was kidnapped, how on earth has this man grown up here and now inherited the property?
nyp.33433074929708	Also, was he sure now that he was not his son?

nyp.33433074929708	And she gloated over Carmaux's death in days of long ago — why that also?
nyp.33433074929708	And so you remem- ber when this Mr. Ritherdon was born, eh?

nyp.33433074929708	Can it be that he was so hated all about here that none will mention him?
nyp.33433074929708	Can it be — is it possible — that in truth two children were born to him at the same time?"
nyp.33433074929708	Can you not guess?
nyp.33433074929708	Can you not understand?
nyp.33433074929708	Confound it, why did I not present that letter of introduction to him before starting off here?"
nyp.33433074929708	Could he do it?
nyp.33433074929708	Could he in any way manage to thus overhear it?
nyp.33433074929708	Did the old gentleman seem pleased?"
nyp.33433074929708	Did you not know the animal's peculiarities, then?"
nyp.33433074929708	Did you take,"she almost screamed in her frenzy,"a long, last farewell?
nyp.33433074929708	Do you want to commit a murder?
nyp.33433074929708	Do you wonder, too, why I'm a friend of yours?"
nyp.33433074929708	Does she hate this woman who governs here as mistress of the house?"
nyp.33433074929708	Eh?"
nyp.33433074929708	Even though I am not Charles Ritherdon's son and you are — even though such were the case — which it is not — how prove it?"
nyp.33433074929708	Even though they could prove this — which they can not — what else can they prove?
nyp.33433074929708	For was he not still singing boisterously below in the front of the house?
nyp.33433074929708	Had not this man, Paz, been one of those who had received money from Mr. Ritherdon to drink Sebastian's health?
nyp.33433074929708	Had she heard?
nyp.33433074929708	Have I got a fever?"
nyp.33433074929708	Have I not said that he was innocent?
nyp.33433074929708	Have n't you had enough sport to- day — or are you going out shooting the owls to- night for a change?"
nyp.33433074929708	Have you not dropped an- other phial in your fall and broken it?
nyp.33433074929708	He paused a moment — it was indeed the longest pause he had made for some time; then he said,"When do you propose to go to see them?"
nyp.33433074929708	How are you this fine morning?
nyp.33433074929708	How can we be on a false tack?"
nyp.33433074929708	How can you think so?
nyp.33433074929708	How could it have got into your bed?"
nyp.33433074929708	How ever did you become possessed of such a creature?
nyp.33433074929708	How explain my appearance on the scene?
nyp.33433074929708	How, in Heaven's name, can your father's, or uncle's, account be the right one?"
nyp.33433074929708	How,"she said, and now her voice which had been sunk to a whisper became even lower,"how would you like to die in it?"
nyp.33433074929708	I suppose a day need not be actually fixed just now?"
nyp.33433074929708	I suppose they had not parted the best of friends?"
nyp.33433074929708	I suppose you did n't happen to think of bringing any lunch or other provisions?"
nyp.33433074929708	I suppose you do n't happen to be thirsty, do you, Pompey?"
nyp.33433074929708	I wonder what you are dabbling in chemistry for now?
nyp.33433074929708	IQ thing that had occurred in the far- off past, he said, very gently:"Yes?
nyp.33433074929708	If he would not work, how did he support a wife?"
nyp.33433074929708	If your child is never found, is mine to remain in its place?
nyp.33433074929708	In the colony?"
nyp.33433074929708	Instead, therefore, he whispered the words,"Zara, what is it?"
nyp.33433074929708	Is anything the matter?"
nyp.33433074929708	Is he here, too?
nyp.33433074929708	Is he liked?"
nyp.33433074929708	Is he mad — or dying?"
nyp.33433074929708	Is it not?"
nyp.33433074929708	Is it worth while?
nyp.33433074929708	Is n't that odd?
nyp.33433074929708	Is that —?
nyp.33433074929708	Is this the truth?"
nyp.33433074929708	It got there somehow, did n't it?"
nyp.33433074929708	It means, I suppose — that""He is your father?

nyp.33433074929708	Julian asked;"you believe Sebastian is, in absolute fact, Charles Ritherdon's son?"
nyp.33433074929708	Leigh?"
nyp.33433074929708	May I be so bold as to ask what yours is?"
nyp.33433074929708	My friend,"he said, changing the subject,"are you a teetotaller?"

nyp.33433074929708	Not for that?"
nyp.33433074929708	Not recognise why — at once?
nyp.33433074929708	Not understand?
nyp.33433074929708	Now, are we to talk frankly — am I to talk without giving of- fence?"
nyp.33433074929708	Now, have you brought in the lug- gage?"
nyp.33433074929708	One of the constabulary from Belize?
nyp.33433074929708	Only — only""Only what?"
nyp.33433074929708	Only — why, then, the attempt to make me break my neck on that horse?
nyp.33433074929708	Only, how to prove it?
nyp.33433074929708	Or — or — what?
nyp.33433074929708	People do n't go out shooting human beings here as they do partridges at home, do they?"
nyp.33433074929708	Rather a hot ride from Belize, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074929708	Remembering what the negro said of him, of his brutality to black and white, can that be it?
nyp.33433074929708	Shall it be like that?"
nyp.33433074929708	She did that?
nyp.33433074929708	Should he turn his head; could he turn it towards that dark patch behind the mosquito curtains which was not illuminated with the moon's rays?
nyp.33433074929708	Tell me, do I bear any resemblance to him?"
nyp.33433074929708	The English missy would n't — why, Paz,"he broke off suddenly,"what's this in your hand?
nyp.33433074929708	The other snakes she hinted at?
nyp.33433074929708	Then, speaking more loudly and clearly to the negro,"have you brought this straight from Desolada?
nyp.33433074929708	Therefore, why should he suspect me of being the right man, and consequently wish to injure me?"
nyp.33433074929708	They had not often spoken of his mother in the past, the subject al- ways seeming one that was too painful to Mr."YOU WILL FORGIVE?"

nyp.33433074929708	Vi/ as that it?"
nyp.33433074929708	Was she not horrified at such a dastardly out- rage?"
nyp.33433074929708	Was she, this half- sav- age girl, gloating over the horrid death of a man which must have taken place ere she was born?

nyp.33433074929708	Well — what?"
nyp.33433074929708	Went to bed, eh?
nyp.33433074929708	What are they?"
nyp.33433074929708	What are you to me?
nyp.33433074929708	What are you?"
nyp.33433074929708	What can she be to him that thus she jeopardizes her life?
nyp.33433074929708	What can stand against that?"
nyp.33433074929708	What can you tell him, what proof produce?"
nyp.33433074929708	What chance was there for her, what hope, she asked herself, that Sebas- tian should ever love her instead of this other?
nyp.33433074929708	What could she answer in return?
nyp.33433074929708	What did he tell you besides?"

nyp.33433074929708	What for, you treacherous dog?
nyp.33433074929708	What for?
nyp.33433074929708	What had happened to him?

nyp.33433074929708	What need at all to ask?
nyp.33433074929708	What of that?

nyp.33433074929708	What was it the poor chap said?
nyp.33433074929708	What was she doing?
nyp.33433074929708	What would his remorse be?
nyp.33433074929708	What would the doctrine of chances say in connection with these facts, he would like to know?
nyp.33433074929708	What would you say if you saw the register of Sebastian's birth, as well as the register of your — of Mrs. Ritherdon's death?"
nyp.33433074929708	What?
nyp.33433074929708	What?"
nyp.33433074929708	Where had he done so, and what did it mean?
nyp.33433074929708	Where had he seen that face, or one like it, before?
nyp.33433074929708	Where?
nyp.33433074929708	Where?
nyp.33433074929708	While as the old gentle- man did so, he continued —"But how in such circumstances did she be- come a resident in Mr. Ritherdon's house?
nyp.33433074929708	Who are you?"
nyp.33433074929708	Who in Heaven's name are you, then?"
nyp.33433074929708	Who is going to cause me to die?"
nyp.33433074929708	Who knows?
nyp.33433074929708	Who knows?"
nyp.33433074929708	Whom?"
nyp.33433074929708	Whose knowledge that was not proof had Sebastian referred to?
nyp.33433074929708	Whose?
nyp.33433074929708	Why take any?"
nyp.33433074929708	Why warn me — she whom I deemed his creature — she who does his dirty work as croupier at a gambling hell?
nyp.33433074929708	Why was she so strong an ally of his?
nyp.33433074929708	Why — this reticence on their part?
nyp.33433074929708	Why, I wonder, why was it so?
nyp.33433074929708	Why, then, should he mount you on that horse?
nyp.33433074929708	Why?
nyp.33433074929708	Why?"
nyp.33433074929708	Why?"
nyp.33433074929708	Will not a mother do all for her only child?
nyp.33433074929708	Will she not think me very rude to detain you so long?"
nyp.33433074929708	Will you come down again and join us?"
nyp.33433074929708	Would a man go to his grave fab- ricating, uttering such a lie as that?"
nyp.33433074929708	Would it be possible?
nyp.33433074929708	Would not that suffice to make him meditate harm to you?"
nyp.33433074929708	Yet not before I had had time to whisper a word in his ear, to say,'If I do this, it is forever?
nyp.33433074929708	Yet, if true, who was he himself?
nyp.33433074929708	Yet, in such circumstances, why?"
nyp.33433074929708	Yet, to himself he said continually:"What is this mystery?
nyp.33433074929708	Yet, what on earth is it that I am to be told when I do see him — what on earth does his mysterious letter mean?"
nyp.33433074929708	Yet,"he continued,"what are you do- ing here?
nyp.33433074929708	You a Ritherdon?
nyp.33433074929708	You do love him, do you not?"
nyp.33433074929708	You do n't want to start back and get a sunstroke, do you?
nyp.33433074929708	You have not forgot- ten?
nyp.33433074929708	You heard that I found the snake after all, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074929708	You know?"
nyp.33433074929708	You remember those words?"
nyp.33433074929708	You suc- ceeded?"
nyp.33433074929708	You understand?
nyp.33433074929708	You will jeopardize your life?"
nyp.33433074929708	You will — for- give, whatever I may have to tell?"
nyp.33433074929708	Your life can contain little that must necessarily be revealed and — even though it should do so — why reveal it?"
nyp.33433074929708	Your name is Ritherdon?

nyp.33433074929708	does he think I'm a fool?
nyp.33433074929708	he asked eagerly, feeling that if she said,"not for my sake?"
nyp.33433074929708	he asked, pointing to the latter;"it will not disturb you?"
nyp.33433074929708	he called louder now, so as to make himself heard above the din of the storm —"Zara, why do you not answer me?
nyp.33433074929708	she said,"and who might that be?"
nyp.33433074929708	that voice demanded,"and what do you want?"
nyp.33433074929708	that's something, is n't it?
nyp.33433074929708	then there ca n't be much the matter with her, can there?
nyp.33433074929708	ther's house how could it be that, in so small a place as this, the thing would never have been heard of?
nyp.33433074929708	well, madame is everywhere; why should n't she favour this place as well as all others that she can force her way into?"
nyp.33433074929708	when next you come to see me?
nyp.33433074929708	whispered Zara,"you understand?
nyp.33433074929708	who, then, are you?
nyp.33433074929708	“ Nothing. ” “ Can I not?
nyp.33433074878798	- Why had she looked like that?
nyp.33433074878798	290 WHAT TIMMY DID “ I wonder if you could come in to Rose Cottage for a minute?
nyp.33433074878798	All at once Radmore asked:—“And where's Boo- boo?
nyp.33433074878798	And he was simply amazed when father and Janet would n't hear of Betty going with him. ” “ Would she have liked to go? ” asked Tom.
nyp.33433074878798	And now comes the question — ought I to tell his sister this?
nyp.33433074878798	And she answered, “ Yes, to- morrow. ” “ Perhaps I ’d better not tell any of them at Old Place? ” It was as if he was speaking to himself.
nyp.33433074878798	And the visitor herself?
nyp.33433074878798	And then that extraordinary disconcerting hint about his god- father?
nyp.33433074878798	And then the girls?
nyp.33433074878798	And then — and then — he said to me: ‘ You ’ll look after Betty, Timmy?
nyp.33433074878798	And then, well, I suppose as time went on, and Betty began growing up, he fell in love with her. ” “ And she with him? ” interposed Rosamund.
nyp.33433074878798	And yet, what more natural than that her well- to- do, kind- hearted sister- in- law should wish to know how she, Enid, was now situated?
nyp.33433074878798	And yet?
nyp.33433074878798	Are you con- cealing anything from me? ” And she had answered, honestly surprised, “ I do n't know what you mean, Jack.
nyp.33433074878798	As her step- mother came close up to her—“Janet?
nyp.33433074878798	At any rate, it was nice of her to come and call almost at once, was n't it? ” “ You ’ve delightful quarters here, ” observed Radmore.
nyp.33433074878798	Besides, how could he have got it? ” “ There was strychnine in the house, ” said Miss Pen- darth slowly.
nyp.33433074878798	Betty looked very hot — or was it that the exquisite complexion that once had been her chief physical beauty had gone?
nyp.33433074878798	But I suppose saying anything only makes things worse in such a case, does n't it? ” “ I do n't see why I should n't speak to her.
nyp.33433074878798	But gentlemen do n't discuss ladies and their looks, old boy. ” “ Do n’t they?
nyp.33433074878798	But had Betty for- gotten?
nyp.33433074878798	But he is n't a soldier now. ” “ Is n't it tea- time? ” asked Timmy suddenly.
nyp.33433074878798	But how did they regard her?
nyp.33433074878798	But she seems to have settled in here for good and all, does n't she? ” “ I wonder if she really has, ” said Betty.
nyp.33433074878798	But to- day was not Sunday — where could all the servants be?
nyp.33433074878798	But why should n't she go up to London for three or four days and have a good time with him there?
nyp.33433074878798	But you always talk as if you were made of money! ” “ Do I? ” He looked taken aback, and even hurt.
nyp.33433074878798	But, after all, what did it matter?
nyp.33433074878798	CHAPTER XXV A ND meanwhile what had been going on at Old Place?
nyp.33433074878798	Can I trust you not to tell them, Timmy? ” He looked at her oddly.
nyp.33433074878798	Can you find him? ” She felt an intense thrill of almost superstitious relief when the answer came: “ Yes, ma'am.
nyp.33433074878798	Colonel Crofton sold Flick to Godfrey Radmore last year — don't you re- member? ” He appealed to Betty, who always remembered every- thing.
nyp.33433074878798	Come admit, woman, that you're sorry now you did n't let Betty take the risk? ” “ I ’m not at all sorry — ” she cried.
nyp.33433074878798	Could one ever hope for such a thing coming to pass as my meeting you, sir, accidental like? ” Mrs. Piper was genuinely moved and excited.
nyp.33433074878798	Crofton has got The Trellis House — I’ll show you the way there. ” WHAT TIMMY DID 9 I “ Show me the way there? ” repeated Radmore.
nyp.33433074878798	Crofton? ” “ Oh, yes, we've met her; in fact she's been to supper. ” Timmy spoke without enthusiasm, but Radmore did not notice that.
nyp.33433074878798	D'you remember? ” She looked round.
nyp.33433074878798	D'you think it's con- ceivably possible that there's anything serious between him and Mrs. Crofton? ” Betty hardly knew what to answer.
nyp.33433074878798	Did Timmy claim the power to see spirits?
nyp.33433074878798	Did he mean to live there alone?
nyp.33433074878798	Did she think it would be improper for him to come and spend two or three days with her?.
nyp.33433074878798	Did the Pipers know Godfrey Radmore was back?
nyp.33433074878798	Did you see Jack's face? ” “ Yes, and I do feel worried about it.
nyp.33433074878798	Do n't you remember?
nyp.33433074878798	Do you believe that? ” “ I do n't quite know what I think about Timmy, ” he answered hesitatingly.
nyp.33433074878798	Enid Crofton in love with Jack?
nyp.33433074878798	Enid Crofton?
nyp.33433074878798	Everything as usual? ” She answered, drily.
nyp.33433074878798	Father could have given her noth- ing, even then, so how could they have lived?
nyp.33433074878798	Flick still in the land of the living, eh? ” “ Thank heaven, yes!
nyp.33433074878798	Had he really pierced her heart — could a mother's heart be permanently injured by a wicked child?
nyp.33433074878798	Had she quite forgotten all that had happened in that long ago which, in a sense, seemed to belong to another life?
nyp.33433074878798	Had the Pipers been down to see him?
nyp.33433074878798	Had the cat really seen anything of a supernatural nature?
nyp.33433074878798	Have you ever heard, by the by, about ‘ the long arm of coincidence ’? ” Timmy nodded.
nyp.33433074878798	He added a little shyly, “ I suppose a gentleman may talk of his sister? ” Radmore turned hot in the darkness.

nyp.33433074878798	Her maid hurried out of the kitchen, and a moment later she heard a man's voice exclaim: “ Will you kindly give this note to Miss Pendarth?
nyp.33433074878798	How about the old stable? ” She was her own calm, satirical, determined self again.
nyp.33433074878798	How did Timmy know that?
nyp.33433074878798	How did she stand with regard to Godfrey Radmore?
nyp.33433074878798	How long would she go on being haunted by the now fast- disappearing past?
nyp.33433074878798	How much did he send?
nyp.33433074878798	I do n't know where Rosamund is. ” “ I suppose I can go into the scullery? ” She looked at him dubiously.
nyp.33433074878798	I do n't suppose as what you've ever'eard of'i m, sir? ” WHAT TIMMY DID 253 Radmore said quietly, “ I know Major Radmore rather well.
nyp.33433074878798	I do n't wonder she felt angry with Josephine, eh? ” He looked a little quizzically, a little deprecatingly, over at Betty.
nyp.33433074878798	I hope she has n't thrown me over?
nyp.33433074878798	I hope they're all right, Mrs. Cobbett? ” “ In a sense, sir, ” she said apathetically.
nyp.33433074878798	I hope you do n't mind lobster?
nyp.33433074878798	I hope you're not in a hurry to get rid of me? ” “ No, ” he said, “ I ’m not in a hurry, exactly.
nyp.33433074878798	I suppose one pays the bank rate?
nyp.33433074878798	I suppose you can remember him quite well? ” Jack hesitated, rather uncomfortably.
nyp.33433074878798	I was wondering whether Timmy would mind staying and amusing the child?
nyp.33433074878798	I wonder if she's an Australian? ” “ I do n't think so, ” said Betty.
nyp.33433074878798	I wonder if we ought to have thanked him for them?
nyp.33433074878798	I ’m asking her to come in to dinner to- night. ” She turned back into the room and, sitting down, took WHAT TIMMY DID I63 up her pen: “ Timmy?
nyp.33433074878798	I'd like you to know that though I've become quite fond of Mrs. Crofton, I'm only fond — nothing more, you understand?
nyp.33433074878798	I'm afraid you must have been listening at the door just now? ” “ I did n't like to come in, ” he said, wriggling uneasily.
nyp.33433074878798	I've no idea where I am — I want to get to Beechfield. ” “ Beechfield?
nyp.33433074878798	If anything happens to me you'll take my place, wo n't you, old chap?
nyp.33433074878798	In this particular letter he announced that he was going to be in London very seon, and might he run down for a day?
nyp.33433074878798	Is Preston still here? ” “ Preston's married.
nyp.33433074878798	Is he in the Club?
nyp.33433074878798	Is it Mrs. Crofton's house that you want to find? ” “ Yes, that's the place I ’m bound for, ” said the woman.
nyp.33433074878798	Is it an old house? ” “ Well, ” she said vaguely, “ it is n't a new house, sir.
nyp.33433074878798	Is n't she expecting you? ” Radmore had taken the woman for a superior servant.
nyp.33433074878798	Is n't that a funny idea, Mum? ” “ It is a terrible idea, ” and, a little to her own surprise, tears rose to Janet Tosswill's eyes.
nyp.33433074878798	Is n't there anything else I can help you with? ’ ” But this time Betty shook her head even more decidedly than before.
nyp.33433074878798	Is this the first time she's ever flown at anyone? ” He looked search- ingly at his godson.
nyp.33433074878798	It had been at once a pain and a relief that he should not be there — yet what good could a boy of nineteen have done?
nyp.33433074878798	It was as if his pent- up feelings of anger had found a vent at last: “ You have, have you? ” he cried in an enraged voice.
nyp.33433074878798	It's not very far, only seven miles if one goes by footpaths, and I could get a lift back. ” “ Trotman? ” repeated Radmore.
nyp.33433074878798	Janet took the roll of paper from her boy and slipped off the band absently: “ What's this? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074878798	May I ask your name? ” She hesitated, then answered:—“Mrs.
nyp.33433074878798	Miss Pendarth, slightly lowering her voice, went on: “ Perhaps I might come in this afternoon, and bring what I want to show you with me?
nyp.33433074878798	Now, a day or two ago, Rosamund had said: “ Is n't it funny of Godfrey?
nyp.33433074878798	Or was it only that she had been frightened by being sud- 2I4 WHAT TIMMY DID 2 I 5 denly brought into a room full of people?
nyp.33433074878798	Perhaps I ’d better go and let him out? ” Timmy jumped up as he spoke.
nyp.33433074878798	Perhaps then I might ven- ture to ask you to say a word for me?
nyp.33433074878798	Perhaps this was the prescription?
nyp.33433074878798	Perhaps you'd lend me Timmy, and, if it would n't be improper, one of the girls, now and again?
nyp.33433074878798	Perhaps you'd like to give them a hand? ” He looked at her hard.
nyp.33433074878798	Radmore muttered to his neighbour, Rosamund, “ Where's Betty? ” “ In the kitchen.
nyp.33433074878798	Radmore was his secret hero; and now, to- night, he asked himself painfully, why had his hero left off loving Betty?
nyp.33433074878798	Radmore? ” repeated the woman dully, and Rad- more had another, and a very painful, shock.
nyp.33433074878798	Remember Rad- more?
nyp.33433074878798	She feels about dogs as some people feel about cats. ” “ I never heard such nonsense! ” “ Nonsense? ” he repeated in an enraged tone.
nyp.33433074878798	She had sud- denly heard, with startling clearness, the words: – “ Is that Old Place, Beechfield?
nyp.33433074878798	She was wondering, wondering, wondering what Godfrey really thought of Enid Crofton?
nyp.33433074878798	She's got one of the best French decorations. ” Should she say anything about George?
nyp.33433074878798	So when she heard the question, “ Who is it? ” she simply answered, “ Darling!
nyp.33433074878798	Some of the gossip I heard was very unpleasant. ” “ Do you mean that there was another man? ” “ Other men — rather than another man.
nyp.33433074878798	Surely Janet had n't been crying?
nyp.33433074878798	Surely it was very late for a call?
nyp.33433074878798	That she was a good friend but a bad enemy?
nyp.33433074878798	The cat and her kittens vanished — just entirely away! ” “ Vanished? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074878798	The man's voice at the other end of the telephone became diffident — hesitating:—“Are you all right?
nyp.33433074878798	The moment she had finished Enid Crofton's letter she had begun to torment herself as to whether she had done right or wrong after all?
nyp.33433074878798	The whole village is talking about it. ” Jack?
nyp.33433074878798	Then she's Australian?
nyp.33433074878798	There was a pause, and then he said with a touch of formality:—“Look here, Janet?
nyp.33433074878798	Timmy asked himself what exactly was the meaning of the word inquest?
nyp.33433074878798	WHAT TIMMY DID 269 House? ” began Radmore.
nyp.33433074878798	Was Timmy going to say something of Betty, and of that old, painful, now he hoped forgotten, episode?
nyp.33433074878798	Was he going to tell her of his hopes or intention with regard to Mrs. Crofton?
nyp.33433074878798	Was he really uncon- scious of the reason why Mrs. Crofton had come to Beechfield?
nyp.33433074878798	Was it “ inquest ” or “ hen- quest ”?
nyp.33433074878798	What be the queer tales, Mister Piper? ” Timmy knew this last speaker.
nyp.33433074878798	What could the child mean?
nyp.33433074878798	What did the boy know?
nyp.33433074878798	What exactly did he mean?
nyp.33433074878798	What had he been told?
nyp.33433074878798	What had he seen?
nyp.33433074878798	What sort of a lady has taken The Trellis House, eh?
nyp.33433074878798	What was Timmy looking at with that curious, fixed stare?
nyp.33433074878798	What's the matter? ” she exclaimed, and as the other made no answer, a look of fear came over the girl's face.
nyp.33433074878798	When can we expect you? ” But the welcoming words were uttered very coldly.
nyp.33433074878798	Where are you going? ” “ I ’m so sorry, Godfrey, but I'm in the devil of a hurry, for I ’ve got to clear the dining- room.
nyp.33433074878798	Where could Timmy be?
nyp.33433074878798	Where's Betty? ” “ She's in the scullery, of course.
nyp.33433074878798	Whether or no there had been a touch of jealousy in what he had said about Jack just now?
nyp.33433074878798	Who could have told her this particular bit of gossip?
nyp.33433074878798	Who could it be coming so late — close to seven o'clock?
nyp.33433074878798	Who could it be?
nyp.33433074878798	Who on earth could this be?
nyp.33433074878798	Why had a paper printed what Miss Pendarth called a full account of the inquest on Colonel Crofton's death?
nyp.33433074878798	Why had he stayed in London so long when all this tranquil, appealing love- liness of wood, stream, hill and hollow lay close at hand?
nyp.33433074878798	Why should n't I have a little to- day, too?
nyp.33433074878798	Why should she think us a hugger- mugger family? ” “ I do n't mean to change.
nyp.33433074878798	Why, Timmy 22 as he suddenly realised the boy was fully dressed, “ what- ever have you been doing?
nyp.33433074878798	Will that be all right? ” “ Of course it will.
nyp.33433074878798	Will you bring along the white one, Godfrey — the one we call Puff?
nyp.33433074878798	Would Timmy wish him, Godfrey Radmore, dead, if some accident were to reveal to him what a great difference it would make to them all?
nyp.33433074878798	Would n't you rather go away?
nyp.33433074878798	You do n't mean to say that he's popped? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074878798	You have plenty of matches with you, have n't you? ” “ The Shrine? ” repeated Radmore hesitatingly.
nyp.33433074878798	You have plenty of matches with you, have n't you? ” “ The Shrine? ” repeated Radmore hesitatingly.
nyp.33433074878798	You know how people take it by the drop?
nyp.33433074878798	You know, Godfrey — or perhaps you do n't know — that the Scotch glens emptied first of men? ” “ D'you mean.
nyp.33433074878798	You remember an old man we used to call Gaffer John?
nyp.33433074878798	You will let me take the place of Timmy, wo n't you, Betty? ” “ That will be very kind of you, ” she replied demurely.
nyp.33433074878798	You'd notice her anywhere. ” “ Did you meet her in the post- office? ” asked Betty.
nyp.33433074878798	You'll look after Betty all the days of her life?'
nyp.33433074878798	“ Am I the fool? ” he asked pleas- antly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ And I want to know when I may come down and see you all?
nyp.33433074878798	“ And now what's this about Mrs. Crofton? ” asked Janet at last, breaking a silence that had become oppres- sive.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Are you — you must be Olivia Pendarth? ” There was a touch of emotion in Alice Crofton's level voice.
nyp.33433074878798	“ As we have mentioned money, I should like to know, my dear, how you are situated?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Betty?
nyp.33433074878798	“ But I believe'twas he made all the fuss when the engagement was broken off. ” “ But why was it broken off? ” asked Rosamund.
nyp.33433074878798	“ But I really must go in now — you know we are meeting this evening? ” “ May I come and fetch you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ But I really must go in now — you know we are meeting this evening? ” “ May I come and fetch you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ But how absurd, Timmy Why should you want to know about a poor old gentleman who is dead, and of whom you are not likely ever to hear anything?
nyp.33433074878798	“ But it's quite true — I have seen Mrs. Crofton! ” “ What is she like? ” asked Jack indifferently.
nyp.33433074878798	“ But who would look after lunch? ” “ There's plenty of delicious cold mutton in the house, ” said Radmore decidedly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ But would n't it cost a tremendous lot of money, Godfrey?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Come to have a chat, old boy?
nyp.33433074878798	“ D'you really think that? ” “ I ca n't tell you what makes me think so, or rather I ’d rather not tell you.
nyp.33433074878798	“ D'you remember Godfrey Radmore? ” she asked as their hands met.
nyp.33433074878798	“ D'you think she'll prove a ‘ stayer'? ” questioned Tom.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Did you ever read the report of the inquest on Colonel Crofton? ” asked Miss Pendarth meaningly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Did you speak to her, or did she speak to you? ” asked Rosamund.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do I understand that she's coming to supper to- night? ” 46 WHAT TIMMY DID It was Betty who answered: “ I hope you do n't mind?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do I understand that she's coming to supper to- night? ” 46 WHAT TIMMY DID It was Betty who answered: “ I hope you do n't mind?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do n’t trust to my taste as much as that, Godfrey. ” “ But you do like it? ” he asked insistently.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do n’t you think we could afford new furniture covers for the drawing- room? ” and Betty had shaken her head.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do n’t you? ” he queried drily.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do you really like the house? ” he asked at last.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do you think he's still in love with Betty? ” asked Rosamund.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Do you think we'd better take Flick? ” he asked doubtfully, “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Doctor says if she can get through the next two days she may be all right. ” “ Is your husband with you? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Does this lead on into Beechfield, sir?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Godfrey Radmore here? ” repeated Jack slowly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Godfrey Radmore? ” It was Miss Pendarth's turn to be genuinely surprised.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Has Mrs. Crofton settled down at The Trellis House yet? ” “ She's arriving to- day, I believe.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Have you brought me a message from Rosamund?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Have you indeed? ” Then he felt rather ashamed of the little game he was playing with this no doubt excellent woman.
nyp.33433074878798	“ He ’s gone to do an errand for me in the village. ” “ The boy is much more normal, eh? ” He looked at her questioningly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ How did you know? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074878798	“ How often have I had to tell you, Timmy, not to go into other people's kitchens and sculleries?
nyp.33433074878798	“ How old is she? ” This from Betty, who somehow always seemed to ask the essential question.
nyp.33433074878798	“ How's my godson?
nyp.33433074878798	“ I ca n't go to The Trellis House with Flick, and it's such a bore to shut him up. ” “ Why ca n't Flick go with you? ” “ Mum!
nyp.33433074878798	“ I do hope you are fairly free from pain? ” he said solicitously.
nyp.33433074878798	“ I hope he asked after his godson? ” “ Indeed he did.
nyp.33433074878798	“ I say, Mrs. Crofton does look a peach to- night, does n't she? ” Even as he spoke, he was hooking the door back.
nyp.33433074878798	“ I suppose Timmy can be trusted to be careful of it?
nyp.33433074878798	“ I suppose it's a long time since you met? ” she said pleasantly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ I suppose you'll be down again soon?
nyp.33433074878798	“ I thought that I was always to be in on this act? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074878798	“ I wonder if I may have a cup of tea?
nyp.33433074878798	“ I wonder if you would lend me the paper? ” Janet suggested hesitatingly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Is it really necessary? ” “ Yes, it really is necessary, ” she answered frankly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Is that you, Godfrey?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Is your child very ill? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ It ai n't for me to spread ill tales after what I ’ve told you, eh?
nyp.33433074878798	“ It depends on you whether Doryford becomes my home or not. ” 274 WHAT TIMMY DID “ On me? ” she repeated, troubled.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Look here, ” he said coaxingly, “ do n’t you think we might hit on some kind of compromise?
nyp.33433074878798	“ May I sit down? ” He drew up a chair, and then he touched the hand belonging to the bandaged arm.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Mum? ” he said in a low, heart- broken voice.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Of course I have. ” “ And will you be married soon? ” went on her in- quisitor.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Others all out? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Perhaps you'd like to go in and see what sort of a place it is?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Perhaps you'll show me my room, godson? ” “ Would n't you like to see Nanna? ” asked Timmy of- ficiously.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Perhaps you'll show me my room, godson? ” “ Would n't you like to see Nanna? ” asked Timmy of- ficiously.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Sha n’t we have a devil of a difficulty in knocking him up? ” “ I do n't think we shall, ” said his small companion, confidently.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Sorry that I was ever born? ” cried Timmy.
nyp.33433074878798	“ The officer who wants to marry Betty? ” repeated Radmore.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Then perhaps someone else has killed her? ” “ Bless you, no.
nyp.33433074878798	“ They did n't get on very well together, did they? ” “ When I first knew them they seemed to be all right.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Timmy?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Treating you like a stranger?
nyp.33433074878798	“ We need n't tell anyone for a little while, need we? ” she whispered at last.
nyp.33433074878798	“ We was wondering, ” said the woman, “ if you would give us the major's address? ” Then they did n't know he was back — or did they?
nyp.33433074878798	“ We was wondering, ” said the woman, “ if you would give us the major's address? ” Then they did n't know he was back — or did they?
nyp.33433074878798	“ We were so happy, Mum — Godfrey, Betty and I. Oh, why are people so horrid? ” “ Why are people so selfish? ” she asked sadly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ We were so happy, Mum — Godfrey, Betty and I. Oh, why are people so horrid? ” “ Why are people so selfish? ” she asked sadly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Well, Nanna?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Well, tell us what's she like? ” exclaimed Rosamund.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Well, well, you'll have to let bygones be bygones — eh, Mrs. Toss?
nyp.33433074878798	“ What are your plans for the future? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What d'you mean, Timmy?
nyp.33433074878798	“ What do you want? ” she exclaimed, in a frightened voice.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What happened? ” “ Well, as we came out of the church together, all at once that old, half- blind, post- office dog made straight for her!
nyp.33433074878798	“ What is it? ” he asked breathlessly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What news? ” asked Betty.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What news? ” came in eager chorus.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What news? ” she asked again.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What sort of enquiries? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What's happened? ” she asked, and then, suddenly, she saw Jack's blazing eyes.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What's that you're holding? ” she asked suspiciously.
nyp.33433074878798	“ What's your name? ” he began.
nyp.33433074878798	“ When did you last see my godfather? ” he asked abruptly, in an unchildish voice, and with a quaintly grown- up manner.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Where does Trotman hang out? ” asked Radmore.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Where's everybody? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Where's the cat? ” she asked, looking round.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Who's Trotman? ” It was Timmy's turn to be surprised.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Who's there?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why Major Radmore? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why not have the beef as well as the mustard?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why not, Timmy? ” “ I have a sort of feeling that she's horrid. ” “ Nonsense!
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why should n't he be? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why should you wish to know, Timmy? ” She spoke rather coldly and sternly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why, Betty, what's the matter?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Why, what's the matter? ” He spoke very kindly, for Timmy's face was scared, his eyes red- rimmed with crying.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Will you come into the dining- room?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Will you come upstairs to- day, Janet?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Will you forgive me for a few moments? ” They both looked up, and smiled at her.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Will you go away to- morrow? ” he asked, this time boldly.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Will you read it here, if you're not in a hurry?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Would you feel easier if we left the little boy we've brought with us in charge?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Would you like me to send out one of the girls to entertain you? ” He shook his head.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Would you? ” Again she smiled.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Yes, my dear? ” “ I want to tell you something. ” “ Yes, Timmy? ” “ It's I who ought to be shot, not Josephine.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Yes, my dear? ” “ I want to tell you something. ” “ Yes, Timmy? ” “ It's I who ought to be shot, not Josephine.
nyp.33433074878798	“ Yes, you know? ” But somehow Radmore did n't know.
nyp.33433074878798	“ You know that pretty old church at Oakford? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433074878798	“ You mean not fair to the war widows? ” “ Yes, that is what I do mean.
nyp.33433074878798	“ You mean to a man like Trotman? ” “ Yes, that's what I do mean.
nyp.33433074878798	“ You spoke just now, Mrs. Piper, as if there was some doubt about the money? ” “ Did I, sir?
nyp.33433074878798	“ You spoke just now, Mrs. Piper, as if there was some doubt about the money? ” “ Did I, sir?
nyp.33433074878798	“ Your godfather? ” she repeated hesitatingly, and yet she knew quite well who he meant.
nyp.33433074862008	A sailor?
nyp.33433074862008	Ai n't you well, sir?
nyp.33433074862008	And Ainsleigh employed you to execute all these other tricks so as to avert suspicion from him?
nyp.33433074862008	And Dr. Parsons was then supposed to be in the billiard- room, sir?
nyp.33433074862008	And Tuckle told you where he found it?
nyp.33433074862008	And if I confess?
nyp.33433074862008	And now that we understand one another, let me hear how you learned this address?
nyp.33433074862008	And now,said Youle to himself, when he left the studio,"what about Mrs. Brady?
nyp.33433074862008	And she believed in this absurd legend of the Prior?
nyp.33433074862008	And the reward?
nyp.33433074862008	And towards me?
nyp.33433074862008	And what about the case, Harold?
nyp.33433074862008	And what's to be done now?
nyp.33433074862008	And why are you sure now?
nyp.33433074862008	And why should you think so, Youle?
nyp.33433074862008	And yet you love a man who can act so cowardly a part?
nyp.33433074862008	And you are safe?
nyp.33433074862008	And you saw Ainsleigh yesterday?
nyp.33433074862008	And you will allow him to marry her?
nyp.33433074862008	And your mother will help you with money when you marry?
nyp.33433074862008	Another man?
nyp.33433074862008	Another woman?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you pleased?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you really going there, dear?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you speaking of Mrs. Ainsleigh's father?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you sure of that?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you sure?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you talking of the celebrated actress?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you talking of the murder?
nyp.33433074862008	As her cousin?
nyp.33433074862008	At your age?
nyp.33433074862008	But his object?
nyp.33433074862008	But his reason?
nyp.33433074862008	But how did Gilbert know about you?
nyp.33433074862008	But how do you know the dress belonged to a monk? nyp.33433074862008 But how is it you were not seen in the neighbour- hood?"
nyp.33433074862008	But is n't it rather risky for children to play with fire?
nyp.33433074862008	But the dress — how could he dispose of the dress meanwhile?
nyp.33433074862008	But the hinted threat?
nyp.33433074862008	But the letter was not found by that time?
nyp.33433074862008	But the ring?
nyp.33433074862008	But the servants?
nyp.33433074862008	But what about me?
nyp.33433074862008	But where did Miss Rug see Alix and myself?
nyp.33433074862008	But why does he sleep there?
nyp.33433074862008	But why should he kill her?
nyp.33433074862008	But why? nyp.33433074862008 But you will come here again, I hope?"
nyp.33433074862008	Ca n't you bring Mr. Robert Ainsleigh to see Miss Parsons at Blastorne?
nyp.33433074862008	Ca n't you cure the man, and give Mrs. Ainsleigh some pleasure in her life?
nyp.33433074862008	Ca n't you guess?
nyp.33433074862008	Can you describe the lady?
nyp.33433074862008	Can you prove that this particular ghost did not?
nyp.33433074862008	Dear, do you think papa is innocent?
nyp.33433074862008	Did Dr. Parsons know anything of this matter?
nyp.33433074862008	Did Mrs. Ains- leigh ever mention the relative's name, Parsons?
nyp.33433074862008	Did he explain the reason for his annoyance?
nyp.33433074862008	Did he say that Robert had killed her?
nyp.33433074862008	Did she say anything to you about the man?
nyp.33433074862008	Did the monk — the so- called ghost — walk?
nyp.33433074862008	Did you ever see him before?
nyp.33433074862008	Did you see Mrs. Ainsleigh often?
nyp.33433074862008	Did you shoot at me?
nyp.33433074862008	Did you tell him that?
nyp.33433074862008	Did you tell the boy about the ring at the inn?
nyp.33433074862008	Did your wife say nothing?
nyp.33433074862008	Do n't you know me?
nyp.33433074862008	Do n't you think Mary Jane acted like a brick in get- ting rid of her father?
nyp.33433074862008	Do you believe that she is guilty, Harold?
nyp.33433074862008	Do you know that, sir?
nyp.33433074862008	Do you know the name of the relative?
nyp.33433074862008	Do you love him? nyp.33433074862008 Do you mean to say that""That I know who killed missus?
nyp.33433074862008	Do you think I'd ha'helped him, old shipmate though he was, if I thought as he'd killed the kindest lady as ever lived, Muster Youle?
nyp.33433074862008	Do you think he will die?
nyp.33433074862008	Doctor, will you please go to the inn with Miss Smithers here, and bring Tuckle along?
nyp.33433074862008	Does he take morphia also?
nyp.33433074862008	Does that show your present state of mind?
nyp.33433074862008	Even had it been the ghost?
nyp.33433074862008	Fire?
nyp.33433074862008	For ever?
nyp.33433074862008	For how long, sir?
nyp.33433074862008	For the ghost?
nyp.33433074862008	For what reason?
nyp.33433074862008	Gilbert?
nyp.33433074862008	Gilbert?
nyp.33433074862008	Gone away?
nyp.33433074862008	Guilty of murder, do you mean?
nyp.33433074862008	Had I time after you left me to get into the house, assume the dress, and enter the parlour and kill my wife?
nyp.33433074862008	Had she any cause to be?
nyp.33433074862008	Harold— she turned to her lover —"what is to be done?"
nyp.33433074862008	Has he ever said as much to you?
nyp.33433074862008	Has not Gilbert told you?
nyp.33433074862008	Have some rum?
nyp.33433074862008	Have you found out nothing?
nyp.33433074862008	Have you seen him since?
nyp.33433074862008	He knows all?
nyp.33433074862008	How can you be sure of that?
nyp.33433074862008	How can you prove that, seeing Captain Rug was at the postern gate yonder from nine till after eleven? nyp.33433074862008 How can you speak in this way?
nyp.33433074862008	How dare you talk to me like this?
nyp.33433074862008	How did she enter the house?
nyp.33433074862008	How did you bring me here?
nyp.33433074862008	How do you know this young lady's name?
nyp.33433074862008	How do you like chloroform?
nyp.33433074862008	Hullo, Youle; you here?
nyp.33433074862008	I am engaged to"Engaged to What do you mean?
nyp.33433074862008	I believe she is being coerced"By Ainsleigh? nyp.33433074862008 I saw that much of the address when the letter was on the ground; but the last name, the surname — what is it?"
nyp.33433074862008	I see; so when Alix and I came we thought Robert was you?
nyp.33433074862008	I suppose someone must nurse him, so why not you? nyp.33433074862008 I suppose you intend to make a clean breast of it?"
nyp.33433074862008	I think so, else how could he have escaped so easily? nyp.33433074862008 I think you are,"said Youle, equally coolly;"but why did you not tell me that Ainsleigh had a brother?"
nyp.33433074862008	I thought you were the stay and comfort of her old age?
nyp.33433074862008	I wish you would tell me what is the matter?
nyp.33433074862008	If I can prove it, will you pass along the dollars?
nyp.33433074862008	If you as her lawyer, and knowing her secrets, can not tell, how can you expect me to know, Mr, Quail?
nyp.33433074862008	If you mean that he murdered his first wife you are wrong,cried Mrs. Brady rapidly;"why should he do so and lose the money?"
nyp.33433074862008	Is Captain Rug well off?
nyp.33433074862008	Is Mr. Ainsleigh here?
nyp.33433074862008	Is he mad?
nyp.33433074862008	Is he really ill?
nyp.33433074862008	Is she dead?
nyp.33433074862008	Is that Mr. Ains- leigh?
nyp.33433074862008	Is the relative a woman?
nyp.33433074862008	Is there no name on hood or dress?
nyp.33433074862008	Is your name Ainsleigh?
nyp.33433074862008	Lor, sir, whatever do you mean? nyp.33433074862008 Master Robert,"said this woman, who, no doubt, was the Mrs. Bendeavour admired by Captain Rug,"how often have I told you not to go to the door?
nyp.33433074862008	May I ask again what you want with him?
nyp.33433074862008	Me?
nyp.33433074862008	Mean?
nyp.33433074862008	Mr. Gilbert Ainsleigh?
nyp.33433074862008	Mrs. Ainsleigh? nyp.33433074862008 My dear child, how can you be so foolish?"
nyp.33433074862008	Oh, Harold, who told you that I had?
nyp.33433074862008	Oh, do you? nyp.33433074862008 Oh, my eye, what's the use of being good?"
nyp.33433074862008	Oh, no — how can you think so? nyp.33433074862008 Oh, then he paid you attentions before Mrs. Ains- leigh was murdered?"
nyp.33433074862008	Oh, yes; why should n't the boy amuse himself? nyp.33433074862008 Oh, you waited for that, did you?"
nyp.33433074862008	Oh,said Youle, remembering his suspicions,"then there is a passage of that sort, Rug?"
nyp.33433074862008	On Thursday?
nyp.33433074862008	Poor Bobby?
nyp.33433074862008	Rug, Rug? — I know that name. nyp.33433074862008 So you sent a telegram to Ainsleigh warning him that the game was up, did you?"
nyp.33433074862008	Sparrow, the detective?
nyp.33433074862008	That means you will not trust me?
nyp.33433074862008	That was the threat?
nyp.33433074862008	The drawing- room?
nyp.33433074862008	The — the police?
nyp.33433074862008	Then Robert has never told you plainly?
nyp.33433074862008	Then he may marry her?
nyp.33433074862008	Then the explanation has to do with him?
nyp.33433074862008	Then what about the article for which the price you mention, has to be paid?
nyp.33433074862008	Then what can you say?
nyp.33433074862008	Then who is guilty?
nyp.33433074862008	Then whom did he suspect?
nyp.33433074862008	Then why not accuse me?
nyp.33433074862008	Then why walk with him? nyp.33433074862008 Then you are going to kill me?"
nyp.33433074862008	Then you know nothing of the murder?
nyp.33433074862008	Then you knows as the Captain is innercent?
nyp.33433074862008	Then you think that the assassin closed that door?
nyp.33433074862008	Then you think what she saw was a real person?
nyp.33433074862008	Then, Mr. Peddie, it was you who threw that parcel containing the hood over the park gates, so that it might come into my possession?
nyp.33433074862008	Three?
nyp.33433074862008	Tuckle, then, was the sole person who knew that you were guilty?
nyp.33433074862008	Two?
nyp.33433074862008	Very good, and the train?
nyp.33433074862008	Voluntarily?
nyp.33433074862008	WHAT?
nyp.33433074862008	Was he a stranger here, Barnacles?
nyp.33433074862008	Was the boy out of your sight at the inn after you told him why he was wanted?
nyp.33433074862008	Was the lady tall?
nyp.33433074862008	Well, sir,replied Tuckle insolently,"if it ai n't true I do n't get the reward — see?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well, then, can you stand by and see me ruined?
nyp.33433074862008	Well?
nyp.33433074862008	Well?
nyp.33433074862008	Well?
nyp.33433074862008	What about Muster Ainsleigh, the husband of she?
nyp.33433074862008	What about me?
nyp.33433074862008	What about those precious stones you brought back from Africa?
nyp.33433074862008	What about?
nyp.33433074862008	What are you thinking of, my child? nyp.33433074862008 What can I do for you, please?"
nyp.33433074862008	What did he tell you?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you know about him?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you make of it all?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you make of it?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by that accusation, Miss Par- sons?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by that exactly?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by that, boy?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean by — if nothing worse?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074862008	What do you think of it all?
nyp.33433074862008	What does he mean by that?
nyp.33433074862008	What does he say?
nyp.33433074862008	What for?
nyp.33433074862008	What good would that do? nyp.33433074862008 What have you done with the ring I gave you?"
nyp.33433074862008	What influence have I with Tony?
nyp.33433074862008	What is it?
nyp.33433074862008	What is ridiculous?
nyp.33433074862008	What is true?
nyp.33433074862008	What kind of a parcel?
nyp.33433074862008	What made you suspect your father in the first place?
nyp.33433074862008	What man?
nyp.33433074862008	What murder?
nyp.33433074862008	What the devil do you mean by allowing him to make love to Alix?
nyp.33433074862008	What was the lady's name?
nyp.33433074862008	What was the use?
nyp.33433074862008	What were the messages?
nyp.33433074862008	What were you doing upstairs at this time?
nyp.33433074862008	What's the matter?
nyp.33433074862008	What, a boy of fifteen?
nyp.33433074862008	What? nyp.33433074862008 What?"
nyp.33433074862008	What?
nyp.33433074862008	What?
nyp.33433074862008	When did Ainsleigh tell you this?
nyp.33433074862008	When did you come up?
nyp.33433074862008	When you came up for the cigar- holder did you meet anyone?
nyp.33433074862008	When? nyp.33433074862008 Where did Mr. Ainsleigh take his brother two months ago?"
nyp.33433074862008	Where have you been just now?
nyp.33433074862008	Where is Ainsleigh?
nyp.33433074862008	Where is Dr. Parsons?
nyp.33433074862008	Where is the cottage?
nyp.33433074862008	Who can account for the vagaries of a lunatic?
nyp.33433074862008	Who else could have done so? nyp.33433074862008 Who gave it to you?"
nyp.33433074862008	Who insulted you? nyp.33433074862008 Who is he?"
nyp.33433074862008	Who is it, Gilbert?
nyp.33433074862008	Who is n't coming?
nyp.33433074862008	Who is the girl?
nyp.33433074862008	Who killed her?
nyp.33433074862008	Who knows that better than I? nyp.33433074862008 Who said so?"
nyp.33433074862008	Who said that he did?
nyp.33433074862008	Who told you he was a sailor?
nyp.33433074862008	Who told you that he was to marry Miss Parsons?
nyp.33433074862008	Who was the sailor?
nyp.33433074862008	Whom you intended to murder?
nyp.33433074862008	Why ca n't you stop him?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did n't you say so at the inquest?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did n't you say this at the inquest?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did n't you state this at the inquest?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did n't you?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did you do that?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did you talk about me, Harold?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did you wish to come here, Harold?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did you, then?
nyp.33433074862008	Why do n't some of them walk about the park?
nyp.33433074862008	Why do you come to me for it?
nyp.33433074862008	Why do you talk rubbish? nyp.33433074862008 Why has she gone there?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why have you come — oh, why have you come?
nyp.33433074862008	Why not see Mr. Sparrow and tell him what to do?
nyp.33433074862008	Why not? nyp.33433074862008 Why should he try to do that?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why? nyp.33433074862008 Why?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why?
nyp.33433074862008	Will you have one?
nyp.33433074862008	Will you see him?
nyp.33433074862008	Wo n't Miss Parsons take something to eat and drink, father?
nyp.33433074862008	Wo n't three in this house be inconvenient?
nyp.33433074862008	Would n't it be better to tell the police, sir?
nyp.33433074862008	Would you like me to help you?
nyp.33433074862008	Would you like me to speak to him?
nyp.33433074862008	Would you rather the police did?
nyp.33433074862008	Would you say that to Gilbert himself?
nyp.33433074862008	Yes,said Mrs. Bendeavour;"what do you want with him?"
nyp.33433074862008	Yes?
nyp.33433074862008	Yet the door of the parlour is visible from the stair- head?
nyp.33433074862008	You admit it, then?
nyp.33433074862008	You are not going to marry Alix?
nyp.33433074862008	You dare to tell me this?
nyp.33433074862008	You do n't love Ainsleigh, do you, Alix?
nyp.33433074862008	You do?
nyp.33433074862008	You fool; do you think I would speak so freely to you, unless I knew that you were in my power?
nyp.33433074862008	You intended to frighten her to death?
nyp.33433074862008	You know Gilbert Ainsleigh, then?
nyp.33433074862008	You know it, dear, and how?
nyp.33433074862008	You must have seen the man leave this room?
nyp.33433074862008	You want to stop the marriage?
nyp.33433074862008	You — tore — the — hood?
nyp.33433074862008	You'u have master arrested?
nyp.33433074862008	Youle, is n't it? nyp.33433074862008 Your father is forcing you to do this?"
nyp.33433074862008	— he gave it into her hands—-you recognise the stone?"
nyp.33433074862008	— the ex- actress was genuinely surprised —then you know Robert Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	1 ca n't say — that is — I say, Youle,"Tony wheeled suspiciously,"why do you ask all these questions?"
nyp.33433074862008	129"Do you mean the reward for the detection of Mrs. Ainsleigh's assassin?"
nyp.33433074862008	181"Takes drugs, like Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	209 the monk as did the killing was walking about the park arter the Captain left the neighbourhood?"
nyp.33433074862008	225"Wo n't you let me send a groom?"
nyp.33433074862008	251"Well, what's a cove to do, when he's driven so hard?"
nyp.33433074862008	259"You intend to stab me, then?"
nyp.33433074862008	27 haunted Grange, and had not several seen the flutter of monkish robes in the twilight?
nyp.33433074862008	357 ring to my brother, Mr. Youle?
nyp.33433074862008	365"Why not by the secret passage?"
nyp.33433074862008	63 I would like to stop and marry you? t once, but I am not rich enough to do so."
nyp.33433074862008	Ai n't I heard what Thomson have to say, and what everyone's talking about?
nyp.33433074862008	Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Allison?"
nyp.33433074862008	Am I an honest man? — yes, I am.
nyp.33433074862008	Am I right in thinking that he made use of the resemblance between himself and his unfortunate brother to bring about the death of his wife?"
nyp.33433074862008	And for why would n't she love me?
nyp.33433074862008	And how may you be finding yourself, sir? ” “ Quite well.
nyp.33433074862008	And if she was so prepared, had she joined forces with Ainsleigh to make Parsons strangle the old lady?
nyp.33433074862008	And she had bright eyes, too,"babbled Mrs. Push,"for I saw them sparkling through her veil, and What's the mat- ter?"
nyp.33433074862008	And the lucky man?"
nyp.33433074862008	And then you forgot that the photo- graph was in your box?"
nyp.33433074862008	And what are you going to live on?"
nyp.33433074862008	And you, Barnacles? ” The ancient salt scratched what remained of his hair.
nyp.33433074862008	And you, sir? ” “ I know nothing.
nyp.33433074862008	And, Youle,"he added, turning to the young man,"do you remember how I said that my wife would probably leave me penniless?
nyp.33433074862008	Are you answered?"
nyp.33433074862008	Are you better, Miss Parsons?"
nyp.33433074862008	Are you mad, child?"
nyp.33433074862008	Are you sure that none of them are about?"
nyp.33433074862008	As she has not told you herself, I can tell you""Tell me what?"
nyp.33433074862008	Bendeavour?"
nyp.33433074862008	Bendeavour?"
nyp.33433074862008	Brady?"
nyp.33433074862008	Brady?"
nyp.33433074862008	But Mrs. Brady?
nyp.33433074862008	But he knows now. ” “ Knows what? ” she asked obstinately.
nyp.33433074862008	But if I tell you what I know, will you""Tell you everything?"
nyp.33433074862008	But why did the man want to kill her?
nyp.33433074862008	But why?"
nyp.33433074862008	But wo n't you have some more cake and wine, miss?
nyp.33433074862008	But,"he asked the question for the third time,"what do you think of it all?"
nyp.33433074862008	By the way, will you ask me to stop here for a few days?
nyp.33433074862008	Ca n't you make him give up this girl?"
nyp.33433074862008	Can I clear rny character? — yes, I can, and what's more, I'm a- goin'to."
nyp.33433074862008	Can a ghost strangle a human being?
nyp.33433074862008	Can it be that she was married before and to this man?
nyp.33433074862008	Can we go down on Thursday?"
nyp.33433074862008	Can you say why she, who loves me, should accept Ainsleigh?"
nyp.33433074862008	Did you hear any noise?"
nyp.33433074862008	Did you meet Gil- bert? ” she asked, sitting down.
nyp.33433074862008	Did you see the face?"
nyp.33433074862008	Do I look like a murderer?"
nyp.33433074862008	Do you expect to find him in Gilbert?"
nyp.33433074862008	Do you hide mine in your ticket- pocket? ” “ No, I carry it in my breast. ” “ That's where I carry yours.
nyp.33433074862008	Do you know anyone of that name?"
nyp.33433074862008	Do you think I am a child to be gulled into believing anything you choose to tell me? ” said Youle impatiently.
nyp.33433074862008	Do you think you could persuade her to let me marry Mary Jane?"
nyp.33433074862008	Even in this Paradise the serpent exists, then?"
nyp.33433074862008	For what purpose?
nyp.33433074862008	Harold drily;"if what I say is a lie, why do you get upset?"
nyp.33433074862008	Have I made my fortune? — no, 1 ai n't.
nyp.33433074862008	Have you been at the Grange lately?"
nyp.33433074862008	Have you found out anything as it is?"
nyp.33433074862008	Have you seen Gilbert to- day?"
nyp.33433074862008	Have you seen her?"
nyp.33433074862008	Have you?"
nyp.33433074862008	He explained how he saw your father, and — oh, why will you not be plain with me, Alix?
nyp.33433074862008	He is in""What is the matter — what is the matter?"
nyp.33433074862008	He may return to the drug yet, and then what would your life be?"
nyp.33433074862008	He was plainly in communication with the captain, and again Harold asked himself why the old sailor should be?
nyp.33433074862008	He's not good enough for you. ” “ In what way? ” inquired Mrs. Brady calmly.
nyp.33433074862008	How do I know that you did not kill Mrs. Ainsleigh, after all?"
nyp.33433074862008	How, then, did you come to meet her?"
nyp.33433074862008	I am returning to town, and""Wo n't you run the doctor in first, sir?"
nyp.33433074862008	I ask you, Mr. Youle, would a sailor as is weak with the sex lay a hand on a female, save in the way of kind- ness?"
nyp.33433074862008	I believe you know him?"
nyp.33433074862008	I hope you and Alix have not quarrelled?"
nyp.33433074862008	I saw him but that once, and he asked me for the Grange, it being afore him, and""Then you know nothing about him?"
nyp.33433074862008	I saw him when he came here to make love to Alix, and""What?"
nyp.33433074862008	I think the sailor might have — but there, what do you expect me to know or say?
nyp.33433074862008	I went to my room to get some red lavender. ” “ Was there nothing else? ” he asked in a low voice.
nyp.33433074862008	I wonder if Sparrow could trace the firm who made the dress?
nyp.33433074862008	I wonder what will be the end of all this?"
nyp.33433074862008	If so, the question was, would she be prepared to commit a crime to gain her wish?
nyp.33433074862008	Is there anything else you want to know?"
nyp.33433074862008	Is there none of you man enough to save a man's life?"
nyp.33433074862008	Miss Parsons will let me stop, wo n't you, Miss Parsons?"
nyp.33433074862008	Mr. Quail — Harold, surely you do not for one moment believe in this monstrous accusation?"
nyp.33433074862008	Now then""Quite so; now then?"
nyp.33433074862008	Oh, what will we?"
nyp.33433074862008	Parsons?"
nyp.33433074862008	Parsons?"
nyp.33433074862008	Parsons?"
nyp.33433074862008	Providence pours wealth into your lap, by which you can make my old age comfortable, and you would reject it?"
nyp.33433074862008	Shall I call again, and ask if she has seen Gilbert and had it out with him?"
nyp.33433074862008	Shall I follow up the Brady clue, or make immediate use of this last piece of informa- tion?"
nyp.33433074862008	Shall I go to town?"
nyp.33433074862008	She was a very kind- hearted woman, and did much good of which she said nothing. ” “ Do you know the name Orlando? ” “ No; I never heard it.
nyp.33433074862008	Show that to the police?"
nyp.33433074862008	Sunstroke and rum, eh?
nyp.33433074862008	Surely you do n't think""That he killed his wife himself?
nyp.33433074862008	Tea?
nyp.33433074862008	WHAT was the meaning of Mrs. Brady's sudden change of front?
nyp.33433074862008	Well, any- thing else?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well, dear, about Tuckle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well, will you go to Inspector Unwin, or wait till I arrange the matter?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well?"
nyp.33433074862008	Well?"
nyp.33433074862008	What can I do?"
nyp.33433074862008	What can you expect from a morphia- maniac?"
nyp.33433074862008	What could he do?
nyp.33433074862008	What had she seen in her father's face?
nyp.33433074862008	What had she to do with the matter?
nyp.33433074862008	What have you been saying to papa?
nyp.33433074862008	What have you got there, Sparrow?"
nyp.33433074862008	What is being done now, exactly? ” “ The women are laying out the body, ” said Youle quickly, “ and Dr. Parsons is assisting them.
nyp.33433074862008	What masterword had Gilbert Ainsleigh used, to compel her to act in this way?
nyp.33433074862008	What was he doing visiting this place?"
nyp.33433074862008	What was more likely than that she should wish the elderly wife out of the way?
nyp.33433074862008	What was she doing there?
nyp.33433074862008	What was the secret between him- self and his victim?
nyp.33433074862008	What were the contents of the parcel?
nyp.33433074862008	What will you do?
nyp.33433074862008	When a lovely girl with money wants to marry you?"
nyp.33433074862008	When can we go down?"
nyp.33433074862008	When did he try to get an increase?"
nyp.33433074862008	When?"
nyp.33433074862008	Where have I heard it?"
nyp.33433074862008	Where have you seen her?"
nyp.33433074862008	Where is the ring you had made of that large stone?"
nyp.33433074862008	Where?"
nyp.33433074862008	Who can argue with a woman who thinks her goose a swan?"
nyp.33433074862008	Who is Captain Rug, and what does he know of the matter?"
nyp.33433074862008	Who killed her, Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why are you engaged to Ainsleigh?
nyp.33433074862008	Why did you marry the poor lady if you intended to kill her?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why did you not inform me yester- day?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why do n't you?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why do we stand here, doing nothing?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why do you ask, sir?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why do you ask? ” “ Oh, for no particular reason, ” said Youle carelessly.
nyp.33433074862008	Why had Alix fled?
nyp.33433074862008	Why had she come?
nyp.33433074862008	Why have you broken our engagement?
nyp.33433074862008	Why not tell her?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why should I, seeing that my pension stopped when she died? ” “ You do n't get any money now? ” “ No, I do n't.
nyp.33433074862008	Why should I, seeing that my pension stopped when she died? ” “ You do n't get any money now? ” “ No, I do n't.
nyp.33433074862008	Why should Robert put on a monk's dress?"
nyp.33433074862008	Why will you not tell me the truth?
nyp.33433074862008	Will you give me another stone, since you are the only person who has this particular gem, if it can be called so?"
nyp.33433074862008	Will you not eat?"
nyp.33433074862008	Wo n't you come in?
nyp.33433074862008	Yet, if innocent, why had he not appeared at the Grange when Mrs. Ainsleigh's death was announced in the papers?
nyp.33433074862008	Yet, since I have come unexpectedly into a large income, why not marry me at once and take your place as the master of the Grange?"
nyp.33433074862008	You are not jealous, I hope?"
nyp.33433074862008	You did that?"
nyp.33433074862008	You do n't suppose for one moment that I would not?"
nyp.33433074862008	You have the money and the girl I love""The girl you love?
nyp.33433074862008	You say that the late Mrs. Ainsleigh suffered from heart disease?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle hesi- tated, then, looking straight at his host,"You need a friend, then?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle, can you not guess who killed her?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	Youle?"
nyp.33433074862008	echoed Youle, calmly;"what do you ex- pect me to say?
nyp.33433074862008	gasped Rug, becoming purple, and again white,"you used my name?"
nyp.33433074862008	murmured Gilbert lazily, and opened his eyes with an effort;"what's the matter?
nyp.33433074862008	repeated Rug, going as grey as a rather yellow skin would let him;"and how did you come here?"
nyp.33433074862008	said Youle, calmly, and noting the trap into which Ainsleigh had fallen;"so it was you after all?"
nyp.33433074862008	that was the excuse, was it?"
nyp.33433074862008	will no one save him?"
nyp.33433074862008	“ But why? ” “ I ca n't explain just now.
nyp.33433074862008	“ Can we do anything more than we are doing? ” he inquired; then passed his hand across his lined forehead.
nyp.33433074862008	“ Do monks wear silk? ” “ By Jupiter!
nyp.33433074862008	“ Has this to do with your re- fusal to marry me? ” he asked, finding that she remained silent.
nyp.33433074862008	“ I be vexed, Muster Youle, because of our young lady. ” “ Miss Parsons? ” asked Harold, wondering what had happened.
nyp.33433074862008	“ I know nothing about the man you call Captain Or- lando, and I wrote no letter. ” “ Then who did?
nyp.33433074862008	“ Tell me all about it. ” “ Has not Ainsleigh told you? ” “ Oh, yes, and I have heard what the papers said.
nyp.33433074862008	“ Then we'll see who bought it, and when we find the person who did — ” “ Well? ” Sparrow shrugged his spare shoulders.
nyp.33433074862008	“ Was it for this that you murdered my wife? ” he said, and left the room, shaking and ghastly.
nyp.33433074862008	“ What do you mean? ” demanded the young man sternly.
nyp.33433074862008	“ What do you think, Youle? ” “ Better wait, ” said Harold curtly, and Gilbert, after some hesitation, accepted this delay.
nyp.33433074862008	“ What does it all mean? ” “ I ca n't say, ” she replied candidly, and looking anxious.
nyp.33433074862008	“ Where are you?
nyp.33433074862008	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074853072	- “ The young lady had enough in her purse, sir. ” “ So she had money in her purse?
nyp.33433074853072	- “ Where — where is the paper? ” asked Mr. Ardell, moving his hands restlessly to and fro on the coun- terpane.
nyp.33433074853072	286 The Yellow Fiend words with you, to hear your voice?
nyp.33433074853072	A prodigal son, eh? ” “ No, Mr. Ardell, he knows the value of money well enough, but is perhaps a little too eager to grow rich.
nyp.33433074853072	Ai n't they dressed to the nines?
nyp.33433074853072	Am I to be burdened with the- the outcome of another's culpably insane folly, even though that other called me father?
nyp.33433074853072	And are you to be incarcerated in this living tomb? ” “ Yes. ”-- “ By Jove!
nyp.33433074853072	And do you know that a tour such as I have glanced at will occupy quite two years?
nyp.33433074853072	And need I go?
nyp.33433074853072	And these rooms?
nyp.33433074853072	And what can a painter make? ” “ Uncommonly little for many a day, as I know.
nyp.33433074853072	And why should n't he P ” “ Or why should he?
nyp.33433074853072	And why? ” “ Chiefly because I have work which I love.
nyp.33433074853072	And you, Constance?
nyp.33433074853072	And, Madge, ” he interrupted, “ what has happened?
nyp.33433074853072	And, somehow, I do not fancy you are very con- stant. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074853072	Any of your work to be seen? ” “ Not a great deal.
nyp.33433074853072	Ardell at home? ” asked a gentleman, who stood waiting for admittance, a remarkably well- dressed, well- groomed man.
nyp.33433074853072	Are things looking a little brighter? ” 136 The Yellow Fiend “ Well, yes.
nyp.33433074853072	Are you going out, miss? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074853072	At all events, you believe I am your friend? ” “ Yes, I do.
nyp.33433074853072	At last the girl turned her eyes upon her companion and asked: “ Who are you? ” The words were, to say the least, uncivil.
nyp.33433074853072	Bless me, Miss Mar- garet, what a beautiful ring you have ſ ” 258 The Yellow Fiend “ Yes, is n't it?
nyp.33433074853072	But I do not like the notion of this gentleman a- coming down the airey steps and finding a young lady like you in the kitchen l ’ ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074853072	But did you hear my sug- gestion? ” “ Yes, to take that child Margaret into the country.
nyp.33433074853072	But do you suppose he would care?
nyp.33433074853072	But do you un- derstand how grateful I am, though I am not able to say it?
nyp.33433074853072	But he is wonderfully good and kind. ” “ Yes?
nyp.33433074853072	But how do you mean? ” “ She will not betray you to old Ardell? ” “ There is nothing to betray.
nyp.33433074853072	But how do you mean? ” “ She will not betray you to old Ardell? ” “ There is nothing to betray.
nyp.33433074853072	But how does this sudden outbreak affect his will? ” “ Not at all, I expect.
nyp.33433074853072	But promise to spend to- morrow evening with me?
nyp.33433074853072	But she never came — ” “ Never? ” murmured Brook.
nyp.33433074853072	But we were going to be confidential, eh? ” “ Were We? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074853072	But we were going to be confidential, eh? ” “ Were We? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074853072	But what can I do? ” “ Aye, that's just it.
nyp.33433074853072	But what is the matter with Mr. Grey?
nyp.33433074853072	But you will sit? ” Mrs. Pinnock agreed, well pleased.
nyp.33433074853072	But — but — is it as like? ” “ Yes, quite.
nyp.33433074853072	But, how handsome Mr. Brook is Are there many English- men like him?
nyp.33433074853072	But, of course, a professional secret must be respected. ” “ Has it any weak places? ” asked Brook, with a smile.
nyp.33433074853072	By the way, do you think she is safe? ”- “ Safe?
nyp.33433074853072	By the way, do you think she is safe? ”- “ Safe?
nyp.33433074853072	Can we go out secretly after dinner?
nyp.33433074853072	Can you call at 2.30? ” “ Say II.30, my dear sir.
nyp.33433074853072	Can you come for the after- noon, dear?
nyp.33433074853072	Can you speak truth? ” “ I fancy I can, but I am not sure.
nyp.33433074853072	Colour is such a joy! ” “ Yes, is it not?
nyp.33433074853072	Could I see any of your work? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074853072	Could n't you stay and have lunch with me?
nyp.33433074853072	Could you forgive Mr. Grey if he forgot you for a little while? ” “ And came back to me? ” interrupted Constance, eagerly.
nyp.33433074853072	Could you forgive Mr. Grey if he forgot you for a little while? ” “ And came back to me? ” interrupted Constance, eagerly.
nyp.33433074853072	Could you sell some of these things for me? ” pointing to the box.
nyp.33433074853072	Did you speak up to the master? ” “ Yes, I did, and it's no use.
nyp.33433074853072	Do n't you hate him? ” “ Well, indeed, I do not.
nyp.33433074853072	Do n't you see what he means?
nyp.33433074853072	Do n't you think Satan's letters would be very spirituel?
nyp.33433074853072	Do n't you think it wonderful like, sir? ” “ Yes, very good.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you know anywhere you can recommend? ” “ Bless your heart, sir, I have been shut up here so long, I know nothing, and nobody!
nyp.33433074853072	Do you know who that is meant for? ” She placed her crayon portrait of Mrs. Pin- nock before Brook.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you know, he asked me if I thought you were a good or an evil spirit, and said he fancied you were uncanny? ” “ Poor old man!
nyp.33433074853072	Do you long for wealth? ” “ I do n't think I long for anything, ” she answered, with a sigh.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you mean that your grandfather does not like to see you? ” This in a low tone.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you mind? ” said Brook, after a short pause, as they drove towards the Strand.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you never sit down? ” “ Not often, miss. ” “ Do sit down, ” and Madge rose to fetch a chair.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you remember the first day I went to ‘ Abend- brod ” with you and your aunt?
nyp.33433074853072	Do you still paint at that man's studio — I forget his name? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you think I might call on him and ask him to come here and see the prog- ress you are making?
nyp.33433074853072	Do you think I want to keep our correspondence a secret? ” “ I do.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you think he would leave his yellow fiend ’ to chance? ” “ I have some reason to believe he has made sev- eral.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you think that Mr. Brook and yourself are the only two men I have ever met? ” “ No, certainly not.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you want anything more? ” “ No- wait.
nyp.33433074853072	Do you? ” “ Oh, I'm not at all straitlaced, but mother is, you know.
nyp.33433074853072	Does Mr. Ardell? ” “ I can not tell.
nyp.33433074853072	Does n’t her father care for her? ” “ Oh, yes, of course he does — he must; but he wo n't bear being troubled with her.
nyp.33433074853072	Does your new friend speak German? ” “ Not very well.
nyp.33433074853072	Expect him in soon? ” “ Yes, his dinner is waiting. ” “ Pray give him my card.
nyp.33433074853072	For you mean Mr. Brook will wish to marry me? ” “ Well, yes, Miss Margaret.
nyp.33433074853072	God knows what he has gone through. ”- “ How did you come to live here? ” asked Madge, point blank.
nyp.33433074853072	Had ever woman so delightful a lover?
nyp.33433074853072	Had n't you bet- ter wait till after twelve?
nyp.33433074853072	Has anything hap- pened? ” “ Well, no, my dear, but he has told me a secret that makes me uneasy.
nyp.33433074853072	Has he a trifle to invest, eh?
nyp.33433074853072	Have I ever seen them? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074853072	Have you a photograph of him? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074853072	Have you any place you would like to go to? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074853072	Have you had tea, my dear? ” “ Oh, yes, and lovely cake.
nyp.33433074853072	Have you promised yourself to another? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074853072	Have you such a thing?
nyp.33433074853072	He asked me one day if he might come and see your studio, and what I have been doing. ” “ Oh, he did?
nyp.33433074853072	He comes and goes in the most unexpected way. ” “ Then he does not keep you informed of his move- ments?
nyp.33433074853072	He has n't passed away, surely?
nyp.33433074853072	He is close by, you say? ” “ First turning to the left, No.
nyp.33433074853072	He is not an Anar- chist, is he?
nyp.33433074853072	He is one of the nicest, kindest, most generous men that ever lived t ” “ Who?
nyp.33433074853072	He is still away, I under- stand? ” “ Yes. ” “ Where? ” “ I have no idea.
nyp.33433074853072	He is still away, I under- stand? ” “ Yes. ” “ Where? ” “ I have no idea.
nyp.33433074853072	He means you are to wear that ring till he puts another plainer one on. ” “ Do you really think he means that? ” “ Of course he does!
nyp.33433074853072	He remained very still and when Madge removed the last, she asked, softly: “ Why do you dislike me so much?
nyp.33433074853072	He resumed, in a quick tone: “ Who is this Brook?
nyp.33433074853072	Hey? ” “ Yes, sir, I remember now.
nyp.33433074853072	How aston- ished French people would be, would n't they? ” asked Madge, with an amused smile.
nyp.33433074853072	How can I manage? ” “ Let me see, ” returned the housekeeper, knitting her brows in deep thought.
nyp.33433074853072	How can I overcome it?
nyp.33433074853072	How could she be?
nyp.33433074853072	How does that affect you?
nyp.33433074853072	How is it that if a man is a little kind and civil to a girl, she is always supposed to fall in love with him?
nyp.33433074853072	How is the poor young lady this morning?
nyp.33433074853072	How is your little girl?
nyp.33433074853072	How shall you pass the evening? ” “ As I always pass it.
nyp.33433074853072	How was it concealed from me? ” “ I have known Constance since I was seven or eight.
nyp.33433074853072	How was my dear boy when you saw him last? ” “ Oh, first- ratel We were great chums, and he is a very clever fellow.
nyp.33433074853072	How was she to deliver herself from the horrible imprisonment to which she had been consigned?
nyp.33433074853072	How would you like to pay the police for finding her if she was lost? ” “ Go! ” returned her master.
nyp.33433074853072	I always repent it when I do. ” “ Not, I hope, when you shew your natural anger and despondency to me?
nyp.33433074853072	I am so grateful to you, yet I can not marry you. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074853072	I am sure he had n't a bad heart to be- gin with. ” “ What has he done with it, then?
nyp.33433074853072	I did not know what to do, so I went for the doctor who has a big red light in the street round the corner. ” “ What am I to do?
nyp.33433074853072	I do not ask from mere curiosity — are you quite penniless? ” “ Oh, no!
nyp.33433074853072	I hope you do n't sit wasting candles and reading silly books? ” “ No, I do not, indeed.
nyp.33433074853072	I hope you have not ban- The Yellow Fiend 135 ished her because I am an unnatural monster and do not like children? ” “ No, I assure you.
nyp.33433074853072	I know myself very little. ” “ Would you like to make money?
nyp.33433074853072	I like you the better for so being; and I shall never ask you a question — why should I?
nyp.33433074853072	I may call you Madge?
nyp.33433074853072	I must come and see your wedding. ” “ Mine?
nyp.33433074853072	I suppose you know what a company means? ”- “ The word is familiar enough.
nyp.33433074853072	I think I should like you better. ” “ Merci, mademoisellel Shall we stop here and walk the length of Osborne- place? ” “ Yes, certainly.
nyp.33433074853072	I think he has gone to sleep now, and it would never do to wake him up. ” “ Do you think he is ill? ” “ He ca n't be well.
nyp.33433074853072	I told you of his having brought Mr. Marks, the picture dealer, to look at my early attempts. ” “ Oh, was that the man?
nyp.33433074853072	I want his help, for I lost so much time while my grandfather was ill. ” “ Well, you'll be in in good time for your dinner, Miss Margaret?
nyp.33433074853072	I was nineteen last March. ” “ No?
nyp.33433074853072	I wish you and your mother would come in to tea. ” “ Are they swells or models? ” “ Neither.
nyp.33433074853072	I wonder if that man who came here to- day, Cecil Brook( it's a nice name) has any influence with Mr. Ardell?
nyp.33433074853072	I wonder now if this child, this Margaret, may yet find favour with the yellow fiend?
nyp.33433074853072	I wonder what baby will say to the sea. ” “ Baby?
nyp.33433074853072	I — you are going to see pictures?
nyp.33433074853072	I ’ve scrubbed it that hard over and over — ” “ What are you talking about?
nyp.33433074853072	I'll just run down and tell Mr. Ardell that you must go out and I must go with you. ” “ Need you tell him? ” asked Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	If he were kind to us both, grandpapa, how rich we should become?
nyp.33433074853072	If my boy were Admiral of the Fleet, he'd never be ashamed of me! ” “ Why should he?
nyp.33433074853072	If you write, I will burn every scrap as soon as I have read it. ” “ Why? ” he asked, looking at her earnestly.
nyp.33433074853072	In fact, unless Brook was her companion, she preferred it; for had she not a troop of glorious and delicious thoughts to bear her company?
nyp.33433074853072	Is Mrs. Pinnock any better? ” “ Yes, she is easier.
nyp.33433074853072	Is The Yellow Fiend 195 my uncle at home? ” This to the woman who opened the door.
nyp.33433074853072	Is he a City man? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433074853072	Is he going to blow up Rome or Turin? ” Mrs. Grey laughed.
nyp.33433074853072	Is he visible? ” “ He is better and stronger, but just now I think he is sleeping.
nyp.33433074853072	Is it my fault that I have n't a penny in the world?
nyp.33433074853072	Is it my fault that I was born?
nyp.33433074853072	Is it not droll to end our first interview as acknowledged lovers with mutual threats? ” He rose.
nyp.33433074853072	Is it not right?
nyp.33433074853072	Is it possible he has a grand- daughter? ” cried Brook.
nyp.33433074853072	Is it worse than going to dine with you? ” “ No, no, of course not.
nyp.33433074853072	Is n't he cruel to me?
nyp.33433074853072	Is she pretty? ” “ No- not a bit. ” “ That is a pity.
nyp.33433074853072	It is something extra fine this year, and will amuse a young lady who has not much variety. ” “ Eh P What is it?
nyp.33433074853072	Let us run away there and escape from everyone. ” “ What a delightful idea, Bertiel But wo n't it cost a great deal?
nyp.33433074853072	Made any money?
nyp.33433074853072	Madge, you do feel for me — with me?
nyp.33433074853072	May I ask what — how old you really are? ” said Mr. Briggs.
nyp.33433074853072	May I ask you to pay part of the payment, say a hundred and twenty pounds, in gold?
nyp.33433074853072	May I recommend a very respectable sort of nurse, who would be most use- ful in many ways? ” This was a romance on Brook's part.
nyp.33433074853072	May I take my sketch- book? ” “ Well, perhaps you had better not.
nyp.33433074853072	May I try, Madge? ” “ Before I answer, I have a sad and painful story to tell you.
nyp.33433074853072	Me? ” she replied, with a start.
nyp.33433074853072	Mr. Ardell, do you mean to say you are going to help the poor young lady, your granddaughter?
nyp.33433074853072	Must I have her to dine with me? ” “ Where else is she to dine?
nyp.33433074853072	Must I have her to dine with me? ” “ Where else is she to dine?
nyp.33433074853072	Must I? ” asked Madge, evidently puzzled and a little anxious.
nyp.33433074853072	Must he marry a wife that he may call upon me?
nyp.33433074853072	My dear young lady, have n't I been all alone by myself over twelve years? ” “ That sounds rather awful, ” said Mrs. Grey.
nyp.33433074853072	Now, I am obliged to go out on a most important errand I"“ That generally means to the Stock Exchange, does n’t it? ” “ No, no.
nyp.33433074853072	Now, I suppose you wish this note given to Mr. Ardell? ” “ If you will be so good. ” “ I will do so. ” She bent her head.
nyp.33433074853072	Now, are you sure it is no inconven- ience? ” “ Not in the least.
nyp.33433074853072	Now, as I suppose you still enjoy the sort of desolate freedom Mr. Ardell gave you, will you come with me if the weather is fine?
nyp.33433074853072	Now, young ladies, do you think you can do a good picture of this bit of still life?
nyp.33433074853072	Of whom are you jealous? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074853072	Old men get cranky, you know, doctor, but they need n't be mad, eh?
nyp.33433074853072	Pinnock? ” The old man's eager, restless eyes glanced at each one mentioned with pitiful suspicion.
nyp.33433074853072	Put him in an asylum? ” cried Madge, unhesitatingly translating Brook's suggestion into plain English.
nyp.33433074853072	Shall I try to deliver the imprisoned Princess from durance vile? ” The Yellow Fiend 53 “ I wish you could.
nyp.33433074853072	Shall we go up and see them? ” “ Oh, yes!
nyp.33433074853072	She is much better. ” “ And what have you been doing with your grand- father? ” “ Nothing! ” “ Have you tried? ” “ I have.
nyp.33433074853072	She is much better. ” “ And what have you been doing with your grand- father? ” “ Nothing! ” “ Have you tried? ” “ I have.
nyp.33433074853072	Should she tell Bertie of her rencontre with an old friend or not?
nyp.33433074853072	Since you came here — how long ago?
nyp.33433074853072	So I said to Ella: “ We must stand by your uncle, my dear. ” He is terribly shy?"
nyp.33433074853072	So we can go when you choose. ” “ What, to- morrow? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074853072	So we can go when you choose. ” “ What, to- morrow? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074853072	Suddenly he exclaimed, in a stronger voice: “ It was strange, was n't it?
nyp.33433074853072	Suppose he were un- able to make a will? ” “ I imagine he must have made one long ago.
nyp.33433074853072	Tell her to come here. ”- “ Shall I return? ” asked Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	Tell me, is this friendly artist of yours in love with you? ” “ No”—slowly and thoughtfully.
nyp.33433074853072	The Yellow Fiend 319 “ What papers do you suppose he was destroy- ing? ” “ I have no idea, ” said Brook.
nyp.33433074853072	The Yellow Fiend But expenditure on her account must have been very small? ” “ Money had to be expended, nevertheless.
nyp.33433074853072	The Yellow Fiend a really great artist, a friend of mine?
nyp.33433074853072	The man who took you to Hatfield? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074853072	The question is how shall we persuade Ardell, your grandfather, to hear reason? ” “ I am sure I do not know, ” said Madge, despon- dently.
nyp.33433074853072	Then Waring asked, care- lessly: “ Is this Brook married? ” “ I do not know in the least.
nyp.33433074853072	Then my grandfather did not write to you? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074853072	Then suddenly some day he strikes oil and makes his pile. ” “ Has that been your case, eh? ” “ Well, yes.
nyp.33433074853072	Then you do not approve of matrimony? ” “ In the present state of society it is n't bad for the 234.
nyp.33433074853072	Then, can you start the day after to- morrow? ” “ Yes, quite well.
nyp.33433074853072	There be many busybodies. ” “ You know, you must know, that half- German woman — what's her name?
nyp.33433074853072	There must be some place near where I can get such a thing? ” “ Wine?
nyp.33433074853072	There must be some place near where I can get such a thing? ” “ Wine?
nyp.33433074853072	There will always be lots of people glad to see you, anyway. ” “ Do you think so? ” said Madge, absently.
nyp.33433074853072	There's a log of wood there, eh? ” “ Yes. ” “ Then you might put it on. ” Madge complied, and ushered Brook into the 1 OOIn.
nyp.33433074853072	There's a railway map about, is n't there? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074853072	These benevolent artistic men are very dangerous. ” “ Are they?
nyp.33433074853072	They may prove money- making. ” “ And Ella?
nyp.33433074853072	They seem hostages from wealth; so you'll get me the hundred pieces of gold?
nyp.33433074853072	Very strange! ” “ What was strange, Mr. Ardell? ” asked Brook, softly.
nyp.33433074853072	Waring?
nyp.33433074853072	Well, Miss Ardell, when I have thought out my scheme, can I write to you, to give you an idea what it is and how you can second me? ” “ Oh, yes!
nyp.33433074853072	Well, sir, I ’m sure you'll never re- pent it. ”- “ You are as big an idiot as they are l What rea- son have you for your absurd beliefs?
nyp.33433074853072	Were you much alone in the Alps? ” “ No, Bertie was a good deal with us there.
nyp.33433074853072	What are your favourite dishes? ” “ I can not tell.
nyp.33433074853072	What can the child of a creature that could n't hold his own with the tyrant gold be worth?
nyp.33433074853072	What could she do to earn money?
nyp.33433074853072	What did Mrs. Pin- nock mean by such infernal audacity as to treat him like a baby?
nyp.33433074853072	What did he say? ” “ It was Miss Ardell opened the door to him, and gave him pen and ink. ” “ Strange — very strange!
nyp.33433074853072	What did you do all the long weeks I was away?
nyp.33433074853072	What do you think of it now? ” “ Eh, Miss Margaret.
nyp.33433074853072	What do you think of that?
nyp.33433074853072	What does a penny matter, or a shil- ling?
nyp.33433074853072	What does it matter?
nyp.33433074853072	What has brought you to London? ” “ I was sent here by the Caldecotts.
nyp.33433074853072	What has dis- tressed you?
nyp.33433074853072	What have you been doing since we parted? ” “ Very little.
nyp.33433074853072	What have you been doing?
nyp.33433074853072	What is the use of living if I ’m to do my living in... this brick grave?
nyp.33433074853072	What is to become of me? ” exclaimed Mr. Ardell, clutching Brook's arm.
nyp.33433074853072	What more can man desire? ” “ Pray how do you know I am all these?
nyp.33433074853072	What more can man desire? ” “ Pray how do you know I am all these?
nyp.33433074853072	What put such ideas into your pretty little brown head? ” “ I do not know.
nyp.33433074853072	What reason have you for entertaining so unjust an idea? ” “ Oh, I never have any reasons.
nyp.33433074853072	What right had he to trample on her as he did?
nyp.33433074853072	What shall I do, Madge?
nyp.33433074853072	What shall I do? ” Madge was silent for a second or two.
nyp.33433074853072	What's wanting?
nyp.33433074853072	What's your business to- day? ” “ Nothing special.
nyp.33433074853072	When can you steal a day in the country with me?
nyp.33433074853072	When did you come back? ” “ Oh, about a fortnight ago.
nyp.33433074853072	When he met with this accident — you have been to the house and heard all about it? ” “ I have, and seen Mr. Ardell, ” returned Brook.
nyp.33433074853072	Where are you going, Madge?
nyp.33433074853072	Where can a fairer scene be found?
nyp.33433074853072	Where did you meet him? ” “ Oh, at the Andersons'—our rector's, you know.
nyp.33433074853072	Where do you live, Madge? ” “ Osborne- place, near Russell- square, ” cried Mrs. Pinnock, eager to give her protégée a happy hour.
nyp.33433074853072	Where have you been? ” “ At the studio. ” “ Are you making any money? ” in a hoarse, eager whisper.
nyp.33433074853072	Where have you been? ” “ At the studio. ” “ Are you making any money? ” in a hoarse, eager whisper.
nyp.33433074853072	Where shall I go when I am ready? ” “ Just straight downstairs.
nyp.33433074853072	Who can assault the indefinable? ” “ That's true, ” and placing her drawings in their portfolio Madge came over to the fireplace.
nyp.33433074853072	Who can tell? ” Madge's evil anticipations were not fulfilled.
nyp.33433074853072	Who is the artist? ” “ I ’m very proud of that picture, sir!
nyp.33433074853072	Why am I to punish my grandfather and myself for a mere idea?
nyp.33433074853072	Why ca n't you apply to Mr. Brook?
nyp.33433074853072	Why do you ask? ” “ You are looking so white and poorly.
nyp.33433074853072	Why do you shrink from me?
nyp.33433074853072	Why do you tremble?
nyp.33433074853072	Why do you work away so hard here?
nyp.33433074853072	Why does he want to shut her up? ” “ She seems extremely fond of him, ” said Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	Why should I give a total stranger an allowance, a creature who has no claim upon me?
nyp.33433074853072	Why should he spoil my life, as he will do if I stay here?
nyp.33433074853072	Why should he?
nyp.33433074853072	Why was her existence an offence to him?
nyp.33433074853072	Why, you are not going to take the in- fant? ” Constance hesitated.
nyp.33433074853072	Will she come early, too? ” “ I do n't know, and I do not care — if you do not.
nyp.33433074853072	Will you allow Miss Ardell to come for a little excursion into the country under my charge?
nyp.33433074853072	Will you meet me at the corner of Southampton- row at Io.3o?
nyp.33433074853072	Wo n't Mr. Ardell think it rather odd your coming here every morning by your- Self? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074853072	Wo n't he be pleased to find what a nice young lady I have to keep me company? ” “ I should like to paint him, ” said Madge, pen- sively.
nyp.33433074853072	Wo n't it be frightfully tiresome to have him for two hours? ” “ No, he is rather a curious study. ” “ I daresay he is.
nyp.33433074853072	Work that is well paid, too. ” “ Is that better than offering himself? ” “ Yes, it is.
nyp.33433074853072	Would you like to see Miss Margaret? ” “ No time just now, Mrs. Pinnock.
nyp.33433074853072	Would “ Mademoiselle ” give herself the trouble to sit down?
nyp.33433074853072	You are aware of this, I hope? ” “ Certainly; quite aware of it.
nyp.33433074853072	You are sure you are quite well? ” The Yellow Fiend 3 I smiled, as if some very delightful memory was awakened by the mention of it.
nyp.33433074853072	You have had tea, I sup- pose, miss?
nyp.33433074853072	You know the small den she had for her- self?
nyp.33433074853072	You see he knows there's a goodish few bottles of wine in the cellar that never cost him anything. ” “ Who gave them to him? ” asked Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	You were always too good for me. ” “ Madge, could it be that you might think me cap- able of being a stay and a comfort?
nyp.33433074853072	You will be at home considerably for the next few days? ” “ Yes, of course. ” “ Then I shall manage it.
nyp.33433074853072	You will fix one, wo n't you, Miss Margaret? ” But Margaret was deep in her note.
nyp.33433074853072	You will keep all I am going to say absolutely to yourself? ” “ I will, ” said Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	You will not forget the design?
nyp.33433074853072	You will trust me, you will write to me unhesitatingly if you want help of any kind?
nyp.33433074853072	You will try to be at home?
nyp.33433074853072	You would n't put her to dine with me? ” “ You are a good deal more important than she is.
nyp.33433074853072	You'll not mind my repeating his words, Miss Margaret? ” “ Not at all, ” said Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	Your uncle? ” “ Oh, no!
nyp.33433074853072	pretty little bits that decorative householders might put up in morning rooms, or downstairs breakfast rooms?
nyp.33433074853072	‘ Here, ’ says Mr. Ar- dell to me, ‘ you know where my granddaughter keeps her daubs, or drawings, or whatever they are?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Accomplice? ” he repeated, with sudden anima- tion.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Ah, what is it puts you against the young lady?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Ah, your boy has come back, ehl How has he got on this time?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Am I?
nyp.33433074853072	“ And have you been very desolate? ” She did not reply at once.
nyp.33433074853072	“ And you really think it like? ” asked Madge, coming over to stand beside him.
nyp.33433074853072	“ And you will have something to tell me, I sup- pose? ” “ Little or nothing, ” she returned.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Are you going to read to me? ” asked Mr. Ardell, impatiently.
nyp.33433074853072	“ But did Marks give you gold?
nyp.33433074853072	“ But tell me, how is Mr. Ardell? ” Before Mrs. Pinnock could finish her report, Mr. Briggs came from the next room.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Could you come back to tea with me, Madge?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Did old Josh Marks give you money down for your sketches?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Did you hear me?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Do you think I would indulge in luxuries?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Does he keep it for himself? ”- “ Oh, bless your heart, no, miss!
nyp.33433074853072	“ From me. ” “ Why did you give it to him? ” “ You would not have me leave so good a friend ignorant of my whereabouts?
nyp.33433074853072	“ From me. ” “ Why did you give it to him? ” “ You would not have me leave so good a friend ignorant of my whereabouts?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Have I overslept myself? ” she exclaimed, half- rising and leaning on her elbow.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Have you any money?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Have you deceived and betrayed that simple, lov- ing soul? ” cried Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Have you taken to reading the newspapers? ” “ I read them to my grandfather, and he had a great deal to say about it.
nyp.33433074853072	“ How do you do? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074853072	“ How do you feel this evening, sir? ” asked Brook, kindly.
nyp.33433074853072	“ How extraordinary it is that such a fancy should take hold of her l Can the possibility of such a sorrow cast its shadow before?
nyp.33433074853072	“ How have you been faring this last week?
nyp.33433074853072	“ How is Mr. Ardell?
nyp.33433074853072	“ How is it you can meet such a transformation with a cool head and steady pulse?
nyp.33433074853072	“ How much younger than yourself? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074853072	“ How — how did you find me? ” asked Madge, re- covering herself quickly.
nyp.33433074853072	“ I am half afraid of you! ” 130 The Yellow Fiend ‘ Afraid?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I fear Miss Ardell has had rather a sharp attack of cold or influenza, but I hope-she has a good doctor, and all possible care?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I hope he will leave some of his money to Mr. Brook. ” “ Will you give him a hint? ” “ Perhaps so!
nyp.33433074853072	“ I hope you will not disdain to read it, for I was the speaker. ” “ What, you?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I know it, ” she returned; “ but I have n't a chance of working. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I should say certainly not. ” “ Why? ” “ Why should he be?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I should say certainly not. ” “ Why? ” “ Why should he be?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I suppose your grandfather manages to exist without change of air, Miss Ardell? ” said Dick, standing back to consider his arrangement.
nyp.33433074853072	“ I was quite surprised. ” “ And what did Mr. Ardell say? ” “ That Mr. Brook might do what he pleased. ” “ Well, and I am glad.
nyp.33433074853072	“ I ’m sure, miss, you must be that tired, and I am thankful there's a gleam of sun Cabby, can you lift down the big box? ” “ Box?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I ’m sure, miss, you must be that tired, and I am thankful there's a gleam of sun Cabby, can you lift down the big box? ” “ Box?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I'm afraid you did n't sleep well last night, Miss Margaret? ”- “ Who?
nyp.33433074853072	“ I'm afraid you did n't sleep well last night, Miss Margaret? ”- “ Who?
nyp.33433074853072	“ If he produces this effect upon you, might we not manage to seclude him from all chance of doing you or anyone mischief? ” “ What!
nyp.33433074853072	“ If you are right about yourself, why, no man ought to trust you, and who can love where he can not trust? ” “ Perhaps not.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Indeed, he asked me if he may come and see Mr. Waring's studio. ” “ Who is this? ” asked Waring, sharply.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is he the man on the Stock Exchange? ” “ I think he is.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is he very nice? ” “ ‘ Nice ’ is rather a small word to apply to Mr. Waring, ” said Madge, laughing.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is he? ” murmured Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is it me?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is it not dreadful that the poor old man should suffer in this way?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is that woman gone? ” asked Mr. Ardell, rousing up.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is this the same piece of butter I had last night? ” he asked, bending down to examine a piece of about two ounces on a cheese plate.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Is your artist friend young — or good looking? ” “ I am not quite sure.
nyp.33433074853072	“ It is not then to waste and squander? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074853072	“ It is quite too horrid to think we must stay in town all the season, is n't it? ” she cried, appealing to Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	“ It seems odd, does n't it? ” said Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Later she might learn to do your work, and — and xy “ You could send me adrift, eh, sir? ” put in Mrs. Pinnock, quietly.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Madge, how can you send me from you?
nyp.33433074853072	“ May I ask if you worked in Jourdain's studio? ” “ I did for three happy years, ” cried Madge.
nyp.33433074853072	“ May I tell you the secret of my wanderings some day? ” “ Yes, to be sure.
nyp.33433074853072	“ May we go upstairs and look at your work? ” “ Oh, yes, of course.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Miss Ardell, I presume? ” said the solicitor, an old- fashioned, polite personage, rising and making her an elaborate bow.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Miss Margaret, ” said Mrs. Pinnock one morn- ing, “ will you put on your hat and go round to Dr. Felton?
nyp.33433074853072	“ My grandfather has been very seriously ill. ” “ Has he?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Newspapers do not interest you much? ” “ Not much.
nyp.33433074853072	“ No, it would not do. ” “ Why did you let the person who was here go away? ” I 14.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Not Waring whose portrait of Lord H. has been so much admired in the Academy this year? ” “ I do not know about that.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Now tell me, Con, ” resumed Madge, “ what has gone wrong with you?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Of course the pleasure is mine, eh, Mr. Ardell? ” “ Pleasure! ” repeated the old man, dreamily, with a faraway look.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Of course, sir, you know a deal more than I do, but the young lady is your granddaughter, I be- lieve. ” “ And what of that?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Oh, my dear, who can answer that?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Oh, my dear, would you mind folding up your underlinen a bit smoother?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Oh, to whom are you going to be married, and where?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Ought I?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Per- haps you would put it on the table before him? ” Brook complied, and then returned to the hall.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Pray, are you going? ” “ Why, how could we?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Pray, are you going? ” “ Why, how could we?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Pray, who do you suspect of such villainy? ” asked the doctor, laughing; “ this young lady, or myself, or — Mrs.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Quite sure of that, are you? ” returned Brook, with a searching glance, and in a very interrogative tone.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Shall I ask your granddaughter to read to you? ” “ No, no, you can.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Shall I let you out, my knight- protector? ” “ If you please.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Shall I take my grandfather his breakfast? ” she asked Mrs. Pinnock.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Shall you tell your grandfather that I came in and wrote a note? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Stay, ” he added, “ may I come in and write him a line? ” Madge answered by opening the door wider.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Ten thousand?
nyp.33433074853072	“ The gentleman will call again, he said, after lunch. ” “ Oh, he will?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Then can you come home with me? ” cried Con- stance, eagerly.
nyp.33433074853072	“ We shall have delicious weather, unclouded skies, and a conscience void of offence; for have we not the sanction of your sainted grandpapa?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Well, may I see Miss Ardell and ask what evening she is disengaged? ” “ Yes, yes; ring the bell.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Well, sir, I hope you are satisfied? ” asked Mrs. Pinnock, drily.
nyp.33433074853072	“ What do I know that I should speak? ” she said at last.
nyp.33433074853072	“ What do you wish? ” “ Oh, never mind.
nyp.33433074853072	“ What does she doubt? ” “ Why do you smile? ” he said aloud.
nyp.33433074853072	“ What does she doubt? ” “ Why do you smile? ” he said aloud.
nyp.33433074853072	“ What does this cost? ” he asked, knocking his spoon against the basin, as Mrs. Pinnock hovered about the room.
nyp.33433074853072	“ What woman, sir?
nyp.33433074853072	“ What — what's the matter? ” stammered Mr. Ardell, evidently much disturbed.
nyp.33433074853072	“ When shall you return?
nyp.33433074853072	“ When we return to London — if we do — I will let you know. ” “ If you do not where are you likely to go? ” “ I am not very sure.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Who is this fortunate individual? ” “ An artist friend of Mrs. Pinnock's, or rather of her son.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Who is your friend? ” he asked, placing himself opposite her.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Who- who, ” he asked, “ rang so loud? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Why did you tell her? ” she asked, for she had been a good deal surprised by his doing so.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Why do you bring it? ” he asked abruptly, turn- ing his thin, birdlike face and suspicious eyes towards her.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Why do you do that over again? ” asked Madge, suddenly and impatiently.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Why do you make this offer?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Why have you let yourself go in this way?"
nyp.33433074853072	“ Why, who was it as stayed here so long? ” cried Mrs. Pinnock, in a tone of some uneasiness.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Will you take off your hat?
nyp.33433074853072	“ Wo n't you dine with your grandpapa on Sun- day, my lamb? ” she said, as she met Madge on the kitchen stairs a little later.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Wo n't you let me in, Miss Madge? ” said Mrs. Pinnock, coaxingly, through the keyhole.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Would you rather have your son all to yourself? ” “ No, no, that's not it at all.
nyp.33433074853072	“ Yes, ai n't it?
nyp.33433074853072	“ You are not thinking of going away, are you?
nyp.33433074853072	“ You are not unhappy, Cecil? ” she asked, as they drove back one evening from the station after a de- lightful ramble in Richmond Park.
nyp.33433074853072	“ You have good news, too, Pinny? ” “ Yes, I have.
nyp.33433074853072	“ You rang your bell, sir? ” “ Yes.

nyp.33433074853072	“ ‘ Have I your permission to stay here for a while? ” she added, when they had looked at each other again.
nyp.33433074940234	* MY STRANGEST CASE 67 “ What the deuce does it mean? ” said Grantham, half to himself and half to the man beside him.
nyp.33433074940234	- “ Now then, Gideon, my worthy friend, what have you got to say about the business? ” asked Kitwater, as he wiped the perspiration from his brow.
nyp.33433074940234	278 MY STRANGEST CASE “ Then do you think my uncle will find it out and follow him? ” she asked, wringing her hands.
nyp.33433074940234	And now is there any other way in which I can serve you?
nyp.33433074940234	And now that we have discussed all this, Mr. Fairfax, what do you think we had better do?
nyp.33433074940234	And now where are you going? ” “ I want, if possible, to get to Rangoon, ” the other replied.
nyp.33433074940234	And the consequence is I know all that is to be known. ” “ That's all very well, but what became of the Frenchman?
nyp.33433074940234	And what chances of suc- cess I think they possess? ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	Anything by which we should be able to swear to his identity? ” “ I would swear to his identity anywhere, with- out a mark,"I replied.
nyp.33433074940234	Are you quite sure of this? ” “ As sure as I can be of anything, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940234	As if any girl would ever think twice about me! ” Thereupon I descended to the drawing- room, MY STRANGEST CASE 2 I r “ Then why do n't you?
nyp.33433074940234	At any rate it would be worthy of your consideration. ” “ But why have you not come to me before? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	At what time? ” “ I can not tell you that, sir, ” Dickson replied.
nyp.33433074940234	But I am keeping you standing, wo n't you sit down somewhere and tell me your news?
nyp.33433074940234	But how was I to get a view of his hands?
nyp.33433074940234	But if he could command himself he would probably get his money?
nyp.33433074940234	But when we get hold of him, we'll — well, we'll let him see what we can do, wo n't we, old boy?
nyp.33433074940234	Can you realize what it is like to feel shut up in the dark, waiting and longing always for only one thing?
nyp.33433074940234	Can you take us to a place where we can procure food?
nyp.33433074940234	Can you wonder that we are anxious to find him? ” “ I do not wonder at that at all, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	Do n't you know it?
nyp.33433074940234	Do you agree? ” He hesitated for a space in which a man could have counted twenty, and then set his glass upon the counter.
nyp.33433074940234	Do you know my office? ” “ We know it perfectly, ” returned the blind man.
nyp.33433074940234	Do you think they were such fools as to leave it behind when they went elsewhere?
nyp.33433074940234	Does it not seem to you quite pos- sible that your uncle's rage might lead him to do something desperate, in order to revenge himself upon the other?
nyp.33433074940234	First and foremost you have been told the story of the stones I possess? ” “ I have heard Mr. Kitwater's version of it, ” I answered cautiously.
nyp.33433074940234	Has the wretched man gone there? ” “ So we have been led to believe, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Have I guessed correctly? ” “ You have hit the mark exactly, ” Kitwater re- plied.
nyp.33433074940234	He was no end of a toff, great- coat with silk collar, neat browns, gloves, and a bowler'at. ” “ Moustache? ” “ Yes, and waxed.
nyp.33433074940234	How could it very well be otherwise?
nyp.33433074940234	How do you know that he is n't back there again filling his pockets? ” “ I do n’t think he is, ” Kitwater replied slowly.
nyp.33433074940234	How much longer was the chase going to last?
nyp.33433074940234	How on earth did he guess this?
nyp.33433074940234	How shall I act? ” “ We ’ve been done again, ” I cried, bringing my fist down with a thump upon the table.
nyp.33433074940234	I asked myself, or were they I2O MY STRANGEST CASE trying to interest me in the case by exaggerating the value of the treasure?
nyp.33433074940234	I believe I am right in saying that you have an Italian gentleman, named Gairdi, staying at your hotel? ” “ That is certainly so, ” he admitted.
nyp.33433074940234	I can also add that in a fairly long experience of of — ” “ Why not say of criminals at once, Mr. Fair- fax? ” he asked with a smile.
nyp.33433074940234	I can see no difficulty in it? ” “ If for no other reason because it would destroy any chance of my even getting on the scent.
nyp.33433074940234	I do n't want to speak to him, but I want to impress his countenance upon my mind. ” “ Why not go into lunch? ” the manager inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	I hope you have good news for us? ” “ I am inclined to consider it good news myself, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	I suppose you have had nothing to eat since you left England? ” She gave a little wan smile.
nyp.33433074940234	I suppose you will be staying at the same place? ” “ Yes, the same place, ” I replied.
nyp.33433074940234	I trust you will forgive me? ” “ I will do so willingly, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	I wonder that you still manage to retain your kind heart. ” “ But how do you know that my heart is kind? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	I wonder what my curtains are like?
nyp.33433074940234	I ’ve got no use for them. ” “ No, but you've got a use for other things, have n't you?
nyp.33433074940234	If he imagined his old companions to be dead, why should he be so anxious that his own identity, and his place of residence, should remain a secret?
nyp.33433074940234	If, on the other hand, they do not meet, then what is to be done?
nyp.33433074940234	In that case what would the assassin be likely to do after his object was obtained?
nyp.33433074940234	Is it not possible for you to discover some trace of his whereabouts? ” “ I have not been able to do that yet, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Is not the word crustiness written plainly upon my fore- head? ” “ I am afraid I can not see it, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Is that not so? ” “ You hit the nail upon the head exactly.
nyp.33433074940234	It could not be thought of for a moment! ” “ But why not?
nyp.33433074940234	It will be rather a unique experience, detective and criminal dining together, will it not?
nyp.33433074940234	It's scarcely his fault that we are not, is it?
nyp.33433074940234	MY STRANGEST CASE 221 Could you not let me come to Paris with you to- morrow? ” “ Impossible, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	May I ask what your terms would be, and when would you be prepared to start? ” “ Your offer is a most liberal one, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	Might I ask what he called upon you about? ” “ He called on me on behalf of your Company, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Now that I have replied to your ques- tions, will you give me the answer I want?
nyp.33433074940234	Now what do you propose to do? ” “ Get one of those torches we brought with us, and find out what there is in that hole, ” Kitwater answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Now, look here, my man, there's some one else at the back of this busi- ness, and what I want to know is, who put you up to try your hand upon me?
nyp.33433074940234	Of course you understand that it may involve a chase round half the world before you can find him?
nyp.33433074940234	Of this, however, I am not quite certain. ” “ And his name? ” “ He would not tell us that.
nyp.33433074940234	Poor beggar, I won- der where he's been, and what he has been up to? ” “ We shall soon find out, ” Dempsey answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Shall I hail him and point out his mistake? ” “ No, I do n't think it is necessary for you to do that, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940234	She died while Hayle was in North Borneo; is not that so, little man? ” Codd nodded his head to show that Kitwater had interpreted him correctly.
nyp.33433074940234	She inquired whether I would care to see him?
nyp.33433074940234	Should I be very wrong if I suggested gems? ” I gave a start of surprise.
nyp.33433074940234	So he had been aware of my presence there?
nyp.33433074940234	Surely you are not going to tell me that they were stolen? ” In the man's voice there was a perceptible note of alarm.
nyp.33433074940234	That he was the man I wanted I felt sure, for what would any one else be doing there at such an hour?
nyp.33433074940234	That is to say will you tell me what you think of the whole affair? ” “ If you wish it, I will, ” I said slowly.
nyp.33433074940234	That is your first, now what is your second question, Mr. Fairfax? ” I paused for a moment before I replied.
nyp.33433074940234	That would not be fair, either to them or to you. ” “ Would it not be possible for it to be on account of both reasons? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074940234	The man is only carrying out his instructions. ” “ What do you mean by already arranged? ” I asked, not without some alarm.
nyp.33433074940234	The money he is lavishing on Mademoiselle Louise, whence does it come?
nyp.33433074940234	The question to be an- swered was, was the man I was after the same in- dividual who had sold Jacob and Bulenthall the stones?
nyp.33433074940234	Then he added, “ But what about the secret?
nyp.33433074940234	Then the latter added, “ What do you mean by that? ” “ What I say, ” Codd replied.
nyp.33433074940234	There's just one fa- vour I should like to ask of you, sir, before we part! ” “ What is it? ” Grantham inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	There's not his equal on Ancient Asia in the world. ” “ And this particular business? ” “ Ah, you shall hear all about it in the proper time.
nyp.33433074940234	To- day is Friday, is it not?
nyp.33433074940234	Upwards of a quarter of a million of money he stole from us, and where is it now?
nyp.33433074940234	Was it likely she would ever think twice of me?
nyp.33433074940234	We have no grudge against him, Coddy, my boy, have we? ” Mr. Codd shook his head gravely.
nyp.33433074940234	Were the men telling me the truth?
nyp.33433074940234	Were we wasting our time upon a fool's errand when we set off to explore Sengkor- Wat? ” Hayle looked at him somewhat sheepishly.
nyp.33433074940234	What an amount of trouble I should have been spared had I only known this before?
nyp.33433074940234	What could I say?
nyp.33433074940234	What do you say if we go below again? ” “ No!
nyp.33433074940234	What do you say? ” I answered that I had not the least objection.
nyp.33433074940234	What do you say? ” The opportunity was so novel, that I decided to embrace it.
nyp.33433074940234	What do you think is the best thing to be done? ” “ See the agent of the company here and get him to telegraph to Port Said, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	What do you think, Codd? ” Mr. Codd appeared to have no opinion, for he did not reply.
nyp.33433074940234	What do you think, little man? ” He turned to Codd, who was looking about him with eyes in which a curious light was shining.
nyp.33433074940234	What do you want me to do?
nyp.33433074940234	What on earth can she have to say to me?
nyp.33433074940234	What on earth did it all mean?
nyp.33433074940234	What possible reason could Mr. Bay- ley have for wanting to rid himself of me?
nyp.33433074940234	What shall I do? ” “ Well, if I might be allowed to be like David Copperfield's Mr. Dick, I should be practical, and say ‘ dine.'
nyp.33433074940234	When do you intend to commence business with your man? ” “ At once, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Where is my sight, and where is Coddy's power of speech?
nyp.33433074940234	Why did you refuse the dealers your name and address? ” Once more he was quite equal to the occasion.
nyp.33433074940234	Why do you wait until the case is at an end? ” “ Because we wanted to be quite sure of you, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940234	Why should I have suspected him, however?
nyp.33433074940234	Why should I not do so since it was a very good excuse for keeping my man in sight?
nyp.33433074940234	Why should he have been likely to have had jewels?
nyp.33433074940234	Why the deuce was n't I able to get Monsieur ashore?
nyp.33433074940234	Will you then be satisfied? ” “ Yes, I'll be satisfied, ” he answered, but with what struck me as almost reluctance.
nyp.33433074940234	Wo n't you sit down? ” When she had done so I resumed my seat at the table.
nyp.33433074940234	Would he vanish into the Bush forthwith, or get away by sea?
nyp.33433074940234	Would it be possible for you to grant us an interview to- night? ” “ I fear not, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	Would you care to hear it? ” He lit a cigarette and blew a cloud of smoke while he waited for my answer.
nyp.33433074940234	Would you care to see the stones?
nyp.33433074940234	You are paying the money, I believe? ” In some confusion she informed me that this cer- tainly was the case.
nyp.33433074940234	You do not still believe that I am acting in collusion with him? ” “ I do not, ” Kitwater answered vehemently.
nyp.33433074940234	You have found Hayle? ” He asked the question with feverish eagerness, as if he hoped within a few hours to be clutching at the other's throat.
nyp.33433074940234	You know our old friends, Levenstein and Schartzer? ” I nodded.
nyp.33433074940234	You robbed us of our treasure, did you?
nyp.33433074940234	You speak Russian, do you not? ” “ Only pretty well, sir, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940234	You wanted to get me out of the way in order that I might not hunt you?
nyp.33433074940234	it would not be so very difficult? ” “ I am rather afraid it would, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	sez he, “ I ’ll make it suverings, if you like, and half a one over for luck, if that will satisfy yer?'
nyp.33433074940234	what was the year, Coddy? ” “ Twelve hundred and fifty- seven, ” Codd replied without hesitation.
nyp.33433074940234	wo n't you believe me, when I say that I saw his pigtail? ” “ Believe you, of course I will, ” replied Kitwater good- humouredly.
nyp.33433074940234	y 296 MY STRANGEST CASE “ Before we go in, ” I said, “ would it not be as well to be prepared for any emergencies?
nyp.33433074940234	“ And are you going to search all that area?
nyp.33433074940234	“ And how are we to know that there are not some steps here?
nyp.33433074940234	“ And now, if I may ask the question, when will you be ready to begin your search?
nyp.33433074940234	“ And what form did your punishment take? ” I inquired, for I was beginning to be interested in their story.
nyp.33433074940234	“ And when it is over? ” was the question I asked myself on numerous occasions.
nyp.33433074940234	“ And why have you come to me?
nyp.33433074940234	“ And will you do so? ” “ I am considering the matter, ” I said, with the first feeling of reluctance I had experienced in the case.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Believe me, I have good and sufficient reasons for my request. ” “ I am to tell exactly what I think about their pur- suit of this man Hayle?
nyp.33433074940234	“ But how did it all come about? ” “ We were traders, and we fell into the hands of the Chinese, ” the taller man answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ But how did you manage to gain admittance to this house? ” “ It was quite easy; the birds had flown, ” he an- swered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ But how do you know all this? ” “ I ’ve told you already that Coddy found it out, ” MY STRANGEST CASE 29 Kitwater replied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ But what has this Sengkor- Wat to do with it? ” “ Everything in the world, ” Kitwater replied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ By the way, ” I said, “ does this man Hayle know that you are in England? ” The blind man shook his head.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Can this letter have been a hoax, an attempt to draw me off the scent?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Can you not see for yourself? ” the man an- swered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Can you not see that I am blind, while my companion is dumb?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Did I understand you to say Gideon Hayle? ” “ That's the name of the young man of whom I have been speaking to you, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Did n't you see him? ” he inquired of his com- panions in some surprise.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Did you happen to see him? ” “ He was in here only this morning, ” the man re- plied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Did you see that? ” he inquired of Kitwater.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Do n’t you know me, Mr. Fairfax? ” the taller of them answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Do you mean to tell me that the gentleman I am asking about was here this morning? ” “ I do, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Do you see this? ” I inquired, producing my re- volver as I spoke.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Does n't he know what he is about?
nyp.33433074940234	“ First and foremost, do you know where you are and who I am? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433074940234	“ From what I know of him, Gideon Hayle was always** “ Gideon what? ” I cried, springing to my feet.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Full? ” asked Hayle scornfully.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Has he gone mad? ” Codd only shook his head.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Has the suspicion not struck you that they were going to clear out and leave you here to starve? ” “ The brutes, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Hate him, why should we hate him?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Have you any idea where the man went after he robbed you? ” “ He crossed the province of Yunnan into Bur- mah, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Have you discovered anything else about him? ” “ Yes, sir, ” he returned.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Here, when? ” I inquired, with such surprise that the other clerks looked up from their books at me in astonishment.
nyp.33433074940234	“ How do I know it? ” he asked by way of pref- ace.
nyp.33433074940234	“ How do you do, Mr. Fairfax? ” said Miss Kit- water, giving me her hand as she spoke.
nyp.33433074940234	“ I fancy you know that I believe in you most implicitly, Mr. Fairfax. ” “ In that case, do you mind shaking hands upon it? ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	“ I hope there is nothing against him? ” “ It is rather soon to say that, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	“ I hope you do not think, Mr. Fairfax, that we are endeavouring to play you false?
nyp.33433074940234	“ I suppose this place is not full? ” inquired the man who had last spoken.
nyp.33433074940234	“ In what way can I be of service to you, Mr. Fairfax? ” he inquired, after I had seated myself.
nyp.33433074940234	“ It ’s a pity he should not see some one, and I suppose you will not keep your appoint- ment? ” “ Not if I knows it, ” the man answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ It ’s full of cockroaches and mildew, if that's what you mean? ” “ The best company we could possibly have, ” said the taller man.
nyp.33433074940234	“ It's just possible they may have done so, of course, ” said Kitwater, “ but how are we to know?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Must I go ashore with you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074940234	“ My friend wants to know if you are aware of that man's name? ” he said.
nyp.33433074940234	“ My friend's a long time coming down, ” I said, “ I hope he has not gone out to breakfast? ” “ You must be mistaken, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Now, let's hear what you've got to say to me? ” Hayle began.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Now, my men, ” I began, “ what's the meaning of this?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Now, ” said Gregory, when Dempsey had been made familiar with the other's story, “ what is it you want to know about the man we picked up?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Originally he had ninety- three in his possession. ” “ Ninety- three? ” the merchant replied, as if he could scarcely believe his ears.
nyp.33433074940234	“ See who? ” asked Kitwater, with elevated eye- brows.
nyp.33433074940234	“ She has a maid with her. ” “ A lady to see me? ” I asked incredulously.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Some poor devil got lost in the jungle, I suppose?
nyp.33433074940234	“ The only question in my mind is, who shall get it for 1 22 MY STRANGEST CASE you?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Then the gentleman who called upon me yester- day, and who has the misfortune to be blind, is your uncle? ” I said.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Then you know where he is, and can take us to him? ” “ I regret that such a thing is out of my power, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ They're dead! ” “ Dead? ” cried Kitwater and Hayle together.
nyp.33433074940234	“ This is certainly another instance of the contrariness of Fate. ” “ How so? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074940234	“ To what am I indebted for the honour of this visit, mademoiselles? ” I began.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What do you call it? ” he asked, when the other had finished his preparations.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What does this mean? ” cried Hayle.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What have you found, little man? ” inquired Kitwater, as he approached.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What is going to happen then?
nyp.33433074940234	“ What is it? ” the other inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What is the matter with the driver? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What name shall I say, sir? ” inquired the clerk, as he descended from his high stool and approached ine.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What on earth is the matter with him? ” in- quired Kitwater of Codd.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What on earth's the meaning of this? ” he asked, as the cortège drew up before the bungalow.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What would you like to be?
nyp.33433074940234	“ What's the matter, Dempsey? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074940234	“ When did you arrive? ” “ This afternoon, ” said Hayle, and for a moment volunteered no further information.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Where d'ye think ye'd be a- seein''i m?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Who are these men?
nyp.33433074940234	“ Who do you think you saw? ” “ A man, ” Hayle replied.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Who is she? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Who on earth can she be? ” The concierge shook her head.
nyp.33433074940234	“ Wot's up, guvner? ” asked the cabman.
nyp.33433074940234	“ You are Mr. Fairfax, are you not? ” inquired the taller of the men.
nyp.33433074940234	“ You ca n't tell me anything more definite about this gentleman, I suppose? ” I said to the clerk who was attending to me.
nyp.33433074940234	“ You did not approve then of my being imported into the case? ” “ I distinctly disapproved, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940234	“ You did not hear whether he had any precious stones in his possession? ” “ Good gracious, no!
nyp.33433074940234	“ You do n't know what I ’ve endured. ” “ Trading over the border alone? ” Gregory in- quired.
nyp.33433074940234	“ You will do this for them? ” What was I to say?
nyp.33433074940234	“ You will do this for them? ” What was I to say?
njp.32101042858751	A la Balzac?
njp.32101042858751	Ah, when was that?
njp.32101042858751	Amy Winter, I always thought you the most sen- sible"But did he?
njp.32101042858751	And Lawrence Kellogg is in town again? njp.32101042858751 And he was not the only one,"she mocked lightly,"was he?"
njp.32101042858751	And now,he concluded,"there's just one thing else; it's""What, sir?"
njp.32101042858751	And she?
njp.32101042858751	And so you got out and found Timms on the bank again?
njp.32101042858751	And where did you get this money?
njp.32101042858751	And you never thought that this wonderful'value 163 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE received'might be connected with his being here? njp.32101042858751 And you wo n't see her before she goes?"
njp.32101042858751	Are n't you glad you came?
njp.32101042858751	Are we going to die?
njp.32101042858751	Are you afraid?
njp.32101042858751	Are you attending the Tevelins?
njp.32101042858751	At the end of the journey,he asked,"where will you go?"
njp.32101042858751	Barney,said Mr. Murger,"think you can drive home alone?"
njp.32101042858751	Been away all day?
njp.32101042858751	But do you know? njp.32101042858751 But how could Amy have heard the news?"
njp.32101042858751	But last evening?
njp.32101042858751	But of yourself, what would you tell?
njp.32101042858751	But you are sure, sure?
njp.32101042858751	But your plan?
njp.32101042858751	But — don't keep me in suspense — when you left her?
njp.32101042858751	But — unless one is given a chance — how can the need be proved? njp.32101042858751 But, Amy, does n't our old compact that we made here, so long ago, mean more than just simply being 35 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE truthful?
njp.32101042858751	By the way, how is that poor crea- ture, Bellwood? njp.32101042858751 Ca n't you find a light?"
njp.32101042858751	Ca n't you get out of it? njp.32101042858751 Ca n't you go on, now?"
njp.32101042858751	Can we do that?
njp.32101042858751	Chances? njp.32101042858751 Come now, did n't you?"
njp.32101042858751	Could n't we put it off? njp.32101042858751 Destroying no evidence, I hope, son?"
njp.32101042858751	Did Lawrence buy that mining stock from you?
njp.32101042858751	Did he retain you as counsel? njp.32101042858751 Did he tell you everything?"
njp.32101042858751	Did n't he buy them?
njp.32101042858751	Did she tell you?
njp.32101042858751	Did she — did she ask anything about me?
njp.32101042858751	Did she — did she send it to me?
njp.32101042858751	Did you arrest him then?
njp.32101042858751	Did you attend the inquest? njp.32101042858751 Did you find Dr. Kellogg on the steamer, sher- iff?"
njp.32101042858751	Did you get my letter, judge?
njp.32101042858751	Did you see her?
njp.32101042858751	Did you see him there?
njp.32101042858751	Do I look unhappy? njp.32101042858751 Do I win my bet?"
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you ever feel like going beyond those two rocky points?
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you see — can't you understand — that I am try- ing to give you another chance?
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you see?
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you?
njp.32101042858751	Do you know his wife? njp.32101042858751 Do you know the prisoner's counsel?"
njp.32101042858751	Do you know the prisoner?
njp.32101042858751	Do you know — I think we take this good news in a mighty unenthusiastic way, Larry — don't we?
njp.32101042858751	Do you mean the gentleman I just give the letter to?
njp.32101042858751	Do you mean to say that he never looked you up in Antioch — he never came to see you?
njp.32101042858751	Do you remember, ever so long ago, a certain compact that we entered into, Lawrence?
njp.32101042858751	Do you think I can go on forever accepting largess from your hand?
njp.32101042858751	Do you want my opinion of her? njp.32101042858751 Does he know her?"
njp.32101042858751	Does the punishment we may suffer hereafter equal the punishment we may suffer on earth? njp.32101042858751 Drug?"
njp.32101042858751	Encouraged?
njp.32101042858751	Frank Bellwood?
njp.32101042858751	Frank, Frank,she said bravely,"did you see who was in church?"
njp.32101042858751	Frank,he said,"why do n't you take a vaca- tion?
njp.32101042858751	Frank,said Amy,"I am going to sum it all up in one question: Will you go away with me?
njp.32101042858751	Frank,suggested the doctor,"stop at my of- fice, like a good chap, wo n't you?
njp.32101042858751	From where, Mary?
njp.32101042858751	Funny secrets we doctors have, are n't they? njp.32101042858751 Had n't I better get you a wrap?"
njp.32101042858751	Had we better be moving?
njp.32101042858751	Had you heard of any quarrel between Kellogg and the minister? njp.32101042858751 Happy? — yes,"he replied;"some- times so much so that — that I wonder if I could have deserved it."
njp.32101042858751	Has Mrs. Rice any children, judge?
njp.32101042858751	Have the children come home?
njp.32101042858751	Have you ever heard it before?
njp.32101042858751	Have you met her? njp.32101042858751 He brought you both back, eh?
njp.32101042858751	How about medicine?
njp.32101042858751	How could that be ascertained? njp.32101042858751 How d'ye do?"
njp.32101042858751	How dare you speak to me like that? njp.32101042858751 How far is the wreck from here?"
njp.32101042858751	How is Amy, judge?
njp.32101042858751	How is a certain affair progressing?
njp.32101042858751	How is he?
njp.32101042858751	How long can my mother live?
njp.32101042858751	How long do you suppose they'll keep us in sus- pense?
njp.32101042858751	How long has this been going on?
njp.32101042858751	How's Mrs. Bellwood this morning, doctor?
njp.32101042858751	How's the baby, Pat?
njp.32101042858751	Hurt meh feelin's?
njp.32101042858751	I ca n't remember; it's a harp, is n't it?
njp.32101042858751	I do n't think I'd better appear in the matter, had I? njp.32101042858751 I do n't think at all; what?"
njp.32101042858751	I know it may be tactless; but I always wanted to do things my own way — won't you let me manage things now?
njp.32101042858751	I know, I know; but where was it?
njp.32101042858751	I must boil some water; where can I make a fire?
njp.32101042858751	I suppose you'll put up in town where you did last time?
njp.32101042858751	I was just going by,the judge began, looking beyond her into the hall,"and I thought — Are you alone this morning?"
njp.32101042858751	I wonder what has happened? njp.32101042858751 I wonder who you think I am — what you think we are?
njp.32101042858751	Indeed?
njp.32101042858751	Is Enoch out at the stable?
njp.32101042858751	Is Lawrence Kellogg in love with Amy Bellwood?
njp.32101042858751	Is he worth quarreling with?
njp.32101042858751	Is it as late as that?
njp.32101042858751	Is it his brain?
njp.32101042858751	Is it one of Kenyon's rigs? njp.32101042858751 Is n't he fine?
njp.32101042858751	Is she coming down? njp.32101042858751 Is that Judge Hollins?"
njp.32101042858751	Is there no way to get a trace of where he went?
njp.32101042858751	Is this case going to be tried in the newspapers or in a court of law?
njp.32101042858751	It ended— he caught his breath —"But why should I tell you?
njp.32101042858751	It is quite hopeless, then?
njp.32101042858751	It would be better, perhaps, eh?
njp.32101042858751	It's generally the custom, in consultation, for the youngest — to have that privi- lege, is n't it?
njp.32101042858751	Kind o'shy, ai n't he, judge? njp.32101042858751 Lawrence, dear"— she swung him about to face her, and stood closer to him than she had before —"do you remember something I once said?"
njp.32101042858751	Looked kinder dotty to me; old Rublee going with him?
njp.32101042858751	Many things — we've both changed, have n't we?
njp.32101042858751	Matter? njp.32101042858751 May I ask why you are interested?"
njp.32101042858751	Mr. Bellwood's a pretty sick man, ai n't he?
njp.32101042858751	Mrs. Ned Rice? njp.32101042858751 Mrs. Rice was there; did you ask her to come?"
njp.32101042858751	No entanglements or anything? njp.32101042858751 Nope, but""Well, did they know Bellwood?"
njp.32101042858751	Nothing more I can do?
njp.32101042858751	Obstinacy?
njp.32101042858751	Oh, by the way — how about the wager? njp.32101042858751 Only on that account?
njp.32101042858751	Or are you going to continue playing John the Hermit for the rest of your life? njp.32101042858751 Pardon me, do n't you think you'd better let me have a catalogue, with names and dates, weights and colors?"
njp.32101042858751	Probably you spoke about me, eh?
njp.32101042858751	See anyone you knew?
njp.32101042858751	See that I get up for that early train?
njp.32101042858751	See who?
njp.32101042858751	Seen the Gazette this morning, judge?
njp.32101042858751	Shall I attempt to qualify as a mind reader? njp.32101042858751 So you think it especially honest of me to tell all this?"
njp.32101042858751	So? njp.32101042858751 Steady,"he repeated;"is anything the matter with you, Larry?"
njp.32101042858751	Supper ready, Ellery?
njp.32101042858751	Suppose you told this strange story, what proof had you? njp.32101042858751 Thanks, old fellow,"returned Kellogg;"you are a very happy man — aren't you?"
njp.32101042858751	That will do,he said, and turning:"Has the counsel for the defense any questions to ask?
njp.32101042858751	The drug you are taking — what is it?
njp.32101042858751	The world is a funny little place,said Kellogg,"is n't it?"
njp.32101042858751	Then there is no immediate danger?
njp.32101042858751	Then you do n't know where Mrs. Bellwood is, j udge?
njp.32101042858751	Then you think the grand jury will indict?
njp.32101042858751	There is no doubt as to how Frank Bellwood died — is there?
njp.32101042858751	There is no necessity for my staying here to- night?
njp.32101042858751	There is nothing more for us to do?
njp.32101042858751	There was no way out, nothing for you to do?
njp.32101042858751	These other things came later? njp.32101042858751 Think so?
njp.32101042858751	This morning? njp.32101042858751 To what place?"
njp.32101042858751	To- morrow afternoon; did n't you observe my affectionate parting from'the opposition'? njp.32101042858751 Trust you?"
njp.32101042858751	Underneath what?
njp.32101042858751	Was it of any moment?
njp.32101042858751	Was she alone?
njp.32101042858751	Was she ever abroad?
njp.32101042858751	Was she frightened?
njp.32101042858751	Was there any message left?
njp.32101042858751	Well, doctor, we've had some pretty sad goin's- on here, ai n't we, last few hours?
njp.32101042858751	Well, he got off, did n't he?
njp.32101042858751	Well, is that all you're going to tell me?
njp.32101042858751	Well, it's a blessing we're not all alike, is n't it?
njp.32101042858751	Well, what is it?
njp.32101042858751	Well?
njp.32101042858751	Well?
njp.32101042858751	Well?
njp.32101042858751	Were n't you afraid he was going to knock?
njp.32101042858751	What about?
njp.32101042858751	What are the concessions?
njp.32101042858751	What are they?
njp.32101042858751	What are you doing here? njp.32101042858751 What are you doing to- morrow?
njp.32101042858751	What are you doing?
njp.32101042858751	What are you talking about?
njp.32101042858751	What are your plans now?
njp.32101042858751	What can I do?
njp.32101042858751	What d'ye make of it?
njp.32101042858751	What did he say?
njp.32101042858751	What did you do? njp.32101042858751 What do you hate most?"
njp.32101042858751	What do you like most?
njp.32101042858751	What do you mean?
njp.32101042858751	What do you think — what do people say?
njp.32101042858751	What end? njp.32101042858751 What have you got to do with this?"
njp.32101042858751	What is it, old chap?
njp.32101042858751	What is it? njp.32101042858751 What is it?"
njp.32101042858751	What is it?
njp.32101042858751	What is it?
njp.32101042858751	What is it?
njp.32101042858751	What is it?
njp.32101042858751	What is it?
njp.32101042858751	What is the matter?
njp.32101042858751	What shall I call it?
njp.32101042858751	What shall we do?
njp.32101042858751	What steamer?
njp.32101042858751	What was he doing on that train — if he was com- ing home?
njp.32101042858751	What was he doing?
njp.32101042858751	What was it — was it of any moment?
njp.32101042858751	What was it? njp.32101042858751 What was that?"
njp.32101042858751	What was that?
njp.32101042858751	What will you do?
njp.32101042858751	What's that?
njp.32101042858751	Whatsh doin'?
njp.32101042858751	When did he leave?
njp.32101042858751	When did it happen?
njp.32101042858751	Where are you going, Marsie?
njp.32101042858751	Where are your wife and child, Patrick?
njp.32101042858751	Where did this miraculous fortune come from?
njp.32101042858751	Where did you go?
njp.32101042858751	Where did you keep this seat of the wagon?
njp.32101042858751	Where does your brother live?
njp.32101042858751	Where is she?
njp.32101042858751	Where shall I go?
njp.32101042858751	Where were you on Tuesday night, the 17th?
njp.32101042858751	Where were you then?
njp.32101042858751	Where's that letter, young man?
njp.32101042858751	Who am I to talk this way?
njp.32101042858751	Who are they?
njp.32101042858751	Who did, then?
njp.32101042858751	Who is it?
njp.32101042858751	Who was it?
njp.32101042858751	Who's that for?
njp.32101042858751	Who? njp.32101042858751 Who?"
njp.32101042858751	Why not?
njp.32101042858751	Why?
njp.32101042858751	Will Amy go?
njp.32101042858751	Will Dr. Kellogg come up and see Mr. Bellwood, ma'am?
njp.32101042858751	Wo n't you let me go with you on Nick? njp.32101042858751 Wo n't you let me prescribe another?"
njp.32101042858751	Wo n't you stay, sir?
njp.32101042858751	Yes — but, why?
njp.32101042858751	Yes, a boy and a girl — didn't Amy write you? njp.32101042858751 Yes, no — but""Taken one this morning?
njp.32101042858751	Yes; it seems to me I have; but where?
njp.32101042858751	Yes; what is it?
njp.32101042858751	Yes; you intend to stop all these some day, eh, do n't you? njp.32101042858751 Yes?
njp.32101042858751	Yes?
njp.32101042858751	Yes?
njp.32101042858751	You did n't get a chance to speak with Mrs. Bell- wood, did you? njp.32101042858751 You did right in getting all you could, of course; how does the matter stand?"
njp.32101042858751	You do n't have any problems to face, do you, old chap?
njp.32101042858751	You felt that you had a'call'—is that it?
njp.32101042858751	You had no idea it was there until this morning — and no idea that you would be called to answer any of these questions?
njp.32101042858751	You know lots about women, do n't you?
njp.32101042858751	You know what the trouble is, Amy?
njp.32101042858751	You mean a desire for the fleshpots of Egypt?
njp.32101042858751	You mean about you being — er — dragged in?
njp.32101042858751	You only heard of this yesterday?
njp.32101042858751	You remember Rice, who used to own the Upper Falls Mill?
njp.32101042858751	You remember him?
njp.32101042858751	You remember?
njp.32101042858751	You say Law- rence wishes to speak to me? njp.32101042858751 You went for a long walk this morning?
njp.32101042858751	You were always fond of children, were n't you, Larry?
njp.32101042858751	You were at Dr. Lawrence Kellogg's trial?
njp.32101042858751	You wished to see me, Frank?
njp.32101042858751	You're going to leave Brimfield, are you? njp.32101042858751 You're in no trouble, Larry boy, are you?"
njp.32101042858751	You're not ill? njp.32101042858751 You're off, sir?
njp.32101042858751	You're sure of it? njp.32101042858751 You're sure she was alone?"
njp.32101042858751	You've been meeting her frequently at her mother's — has she?
njp.32101042858751	You've never been here before,she went on,"have you?
njp.32101042858751	You've no message for anyone?
njp.32101042858751	You? njp.32101042858751 Your own troubles, your own sorrows?"
njp.32101042858751	— would he ever cry those bitter words in his defeat? njp.32101042858751 ...The gentle- man you just gave the letter to?
njp.32101042858751	116 IN THE PATH OF FATE"Are there any doctors here?"
njp.32101042858751	134 THE NEW WOOF ON THE LOOM"He will rest now?"
njp.32101042858751	139 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"She wished to see me — did she?
njp.32101042858751	204 ASHES OF HOPE"Pretty awful, eh?"
njp.32101042858751	225 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"And you told her?"
njp.32101042858751	228 THE TRYING OF THE WAYS"Sailin'abroad?"
njp.32101042858751	240 THE LAST DAY Whatever was his place in it?
njp.32101042858751	243 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"Could you give me a room here for the night, Fred?"
njp.32101042858751	313 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"He had some letters, then?
njp.32101042858751	323 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"You have n't repaid him the money he spent for your two tickets yet, have you?"
njp.32101042858751	45 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"Then she's not a member of your congregation?"
njp.32101042858751	Advise him to drop his work, wo n't you?
njp.32101042858751	Again now she asked a question:"Are we going to drown?"
njp.32101042858751	Ai n't it, Jim?"
njp.32101042858751	Ai n't she?"
njp.32101042858751	And had he ever failed her?
njp.32101042858751	And how about Tevelin?
njp.32101042858751	And talking of that — do you remember another argument we once had upon the'Calls of Conscience'—the year of our graduation?
njp.32101042858751	And then slowly as if to collect his friend's wits for him:"Whom did you say this Gunsberg represented?"
njp.32101042858751	And what did it mean — this news that he had read?
njp.32101042858751	And why had she started when he had spoken of being"called"?
njp.32101042858751	And why that frightened look, as he pushed back the large envelope?
njp.32101042858751	And you will tell me just how it is with him?"
njp.32101042858751	And""You kept my letters from her?"
njp.32101042858751	Any luck to- day?"
njp.32101042858751	Are you willing to listen?"
njp.32101042858751	As I said before, I saw Tevelin this morning and — just listen""You know he's here now?"
njp.32101042858751	Before the evening was over he would have seen the judge, and then?
njp.32101042858751	Believe he took the train, eh?
njp.32101042858751	Bellwood doing there at that hour of night?
njp.32101042858751	Bellwood?"
njp.32101042858751	But a ques- tion — Are you following up the clew of the attempted robbery at the cemetery?"
njp.32101042858751	But could it be true?
njp.32101042858751	But did she feel grateful to him, or did she —?
njp.32101042858751	But flight from what?
njp.32101042858751	But had anyone ever before been called to face an ordeal so strange, so awful?
njp.32101042858751	But had he spoken?
njp.32101042858751	But how could a man like Dr. Kellogg be associated in any way with those to whom the suspicion of robbery pointed?
njp.32101042858751	But no, I suppose he'd be — What's the matter, Lawrence?"
njp.32101042858751	But now, Mrs. Bellwood, may I ask you » something?"
njp.32101042858751	But now, more quizzing: My arrival was rather a sur- prise, eh?
njp.32101042858751	But supposing this gossip was true?
njp.32101042858751	But tell me about Mrs. Rice — who is she?"
njp.32101042858751	But what else was there to have done?
njp.32101042858751	But what in the Lord's name can we do?
njp.32101042858751	But what was Amy doing there?
njp.32101042858751	But what was it?"
njp.32101042858751	But where was he going?
njp.32101042858751	But where?
njp.32101042858751	But where?
njp.32101042858751	But you'll be comin'back again?"
njp.32101042858751	By what right may one sinner judge of another?"
njp.32101042858751	Call up town — Factories — don't stop — for — me — help — help — Have — they — cut — wire?"
njp.32101042858751	Can you do it?"
njp.32101042858751	Catch the point?
njp.32101042858751	Colson?
njp.32101042858751	Come and dine with me as you promised?
njp.32101042858751	Come to my office, wo n't you?
njp.32101042858751	Constable, you're hurted, ai n't ye?"
njp.32101042858751	Corruptio optimi pessimal Only was he ever of even a good alloy?
njp.32101042858751	Could he look in the eyes that haunted him and lie again?
njp.32101042858751	Could n't you come to- night?
njp.32101042858751	Could she possibly suspect- his hand in the purchase of the Mexican mining stock?
njp.32101042858751	Could the gray eyes look in his and not read the truth?
njp.32101042858751	Could the old law- yer have been mistaken?
njp.32101042858751	D'ye ever shoot, sir?
njp.32101042858751	Damn'em, ca n't you see'em?"
njp.32101042858751	Did Amy know of her husband's defection?
njp.32101042858751	Did Dr. Smith meet you?"
njp.32101042858751	Did Enoch Walker ride in with you to Brim- field from Dr. Kellogg's place on your delivery wagon?"
njp.32101042858751	Did he have them in his hand?"
njp.32101042858751	Did he see Amy?"
njp.32101042858751	Did she look like that?
njp.32101042858751	Did she thank him for abiding by the inex- orable law he had written for himself?
njp.32101042858751	Did you get word to'em?"
njp.32101042858751	Did you know that the minister used to meet this Mrs. Rice and go automobiling with her?
njp.32101042858751	Did you know that?"
njp.32101042858751	Did you read it all?"
njp.32101042858751	Did you see Frank Bell- wood?
njp.32101042858751	Did you see the Gazette this morning?
njp.32101042858751	Did you see them?
njp.32101042858751	Did you talk it over with anybody?"
njp.32101042858751	Did you walk?"
njp.32101042858751	Do I win my bet?"
njp.32101042858751	Do n't fail me, will you?"
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you see how it bears me out in what I told you?
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you see how it changes everything?"
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you see?
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you think he's good- looking?"
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you think it would be better to meet them?"
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you wish to be — I will say it — cured — so that you can try to win back my regard — my respect for you?
njp.32101042858751	Do n't you wish to get on your feet once more, and stand firm and strong?
njp.32101042858751	Do you happen to know a Mrs. Rice who lives at the big new place on the river?
njp.32101042858751	Do you hear me?"
njp.32101042858751	Do you know what?"
njp.32101042858751	Do you know who I am?"
njp.32101042858751	Do you know, Amy did not hear of the accident until just before she left the house for the station — strange, eh?
njp.32101042858751	Do you know?"
njp.32101042858751	Do you need my arm?"
njp.32101042858751	Do you think I will let you go?
njp.32101042858751	Do you think I'd take it and go out to slink through the rest of my life?
njp.32101042858751	Do you want him back?"
njp.32101042858751	Does Amy know?"
njp.32101042858751	Does it make it easier?
njp.32101042858751	Does n't this make you wish you were a poet — or some- thing quite nice and ignorant?"
njp.32101042858751	Does she know?"
njp.32101042858751	Does that compact hold good now?"
njp.32101042858751	Egypt?
njp.32101042858751	Eh, Larry?"
njp.32101042858751	Eh?
njp.32101042858751	Ellen and Sarah, the maid, soon came up to see her — was there anything they could do?
njp.32101042858751	Food?
njp.32101042858751	For God's sake, what is happening?
njp.32101042858751	Frank Bell- wood?"
njp.32101042858751	Frank, listen to what I have to say — I have n't""And where, and how, and with what?
njp.32101042858751	Good idea — my tacking on that other twenty- five thousand — eh?"
njp.32101042858751	Had anyone ever lived through such a day before?
njp.32101042858751	Had he been a friend of the prisoner?
njp.32101042858751	Had he been just, in his selfish and fruitless effort to forget?
njp.32101042858751	Had he known what was in his heart?
njp.32101042858751	Had he?
njp.32101042858751	Had she been able to?
njp.32101042858751	Had she ever exacted any- thing?
njp.32101042858751	Had she really wanted to see him as Judge Hollins had suggested?
njp.32101042858751	Had you written?"
njp.32101042858751	Hardly believe it, do you?"
njp.32101042858751	Has Amy been talking to you?"
njp.32101042858751	Has he spoken much about himself?"
njp.32101042858751	Have n't changed your mind?"
njp.32101042858751	Have n't you anything to tell me?"
njp.32101042858751	Have you a good memory?
njp.32101042858751	Have you been there?"
njp.32101042858751	Have you been un- happy?"
njp.32101042858751	Have you ever thought of the position that it puts me in?"
njp.32101042858751	Have you finished?"
njp.32101042858751	Have you the pellets?
njp.32101042858751	He beat about the bush at first and then came out with a bid of — what d'ye think?"
njp.32101042858751	He came of his own accord?"
njp.32101042858751	He had heard of Kahn, Davis& Co.; but who had n't?
njp.32101042858751	He was fumbling for his matches and yet wonder- ing at himself — wondering why?
njp.32101042858751	He was n't very cordial, was he?"
njp.32101042858751	Here comes that big car — it's been going up and down the street all the afternoon — whose is it?"
njp.32101042858751	How are things?"
njp.32101042858751	How could a just and all- wise God permit such things to be?
njp.32101042858751	How could he ever repay him for all the delicacy of his thoughtfulness?
njp.32101042858751	How could he face it all?
njp.32101042858751	How could he go on and tell her what was in his mind?
njp.32101042858751	How could it be otherwise?
njp.32101042858751	How could she have stood it?
njp.32101042858751	How could she stand it now?
njp.32101042858751	How could we live?
njp.32101042858751	How did things go to- day?
njp.32101042858751	How did you lie?"
njp.32101042858751	How do you tell a wom- an's age?"
njp.32101042858751	How does she con- duct herself at Paris and Monte Carlo?"
njp.32101042858751	How is he doing?"
njp.32101042858751	How is it the verse goes?'
njp.32101042858751	How much did you know about that story, about that woman in the photograph?"
njp.32101042858751	How old should you suppose Mrs. Ned to be?"
njp.32101042858751	How say you, Mr. Foreman — Guilty or Not Guilty?"
njp.32101042858751	How shall I begin?"
njp.32101042858751	How should he be- 207 THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE gin?
njp.32101042858751	How would she meet this?
njp.32101042858751	How?
njp.32101042858751	I always trusted you to do that for me, in the old days, did n't I?"
njp.32101042858751	I ca n't, can I?"
njp.32101042858751	I do n't know what became of it — you were sitting""I remember the photograph and all about it — well?"
njp.32101042858751	I do n't suppose that the grand jury will indict from the facts alone; by the way, what are they?
njp.32101042858751	I do n't suppose you're going to church, are you?"
njp.32101042858751	I do n't think anybody would see us if we smoked out here, eh?"
njp.32101042858751	I hope you like it brut; is there anything better?"
njp.32101042858751	I love you deeply as a friend""Just as you love Judge Hollins?"
njp.32101042858751	I mean did she say so?"
njp.32101042858751	I say, that's rather funny about Bellwood and Mrs. Ned, eh?
njp.32101042858751	I say, who is it?
njp.32101042858751	I suppose he told you he does n't approve of me?"
njp.32101042858751	I think — yes — I'll go take a walk; better, eh?
njp.32101042858751	I told you that if it 168 THE BREAKING was not for my salary here — Have n't I always given your mother some of that?
njp.32101042858751	I was suffering then; 286 ANAESTHESIA to say to me, now we've gone through everything else; would n't you?"
njp.32101042858751	I will give you four months more — or is your certainty still certain?
njp.32101042858751	I wonder if — if you would misunderstand?"
njp.32101042858751	In two weeks from now he would be on the ocean, and then where?
njp.32101042858751	Is it your opinion that the district attorney may quash further proceedings and let you go?
njp.32101042858751	Is n't it a heavenly evening?
njp.32101042858751	Is n't she?"
njp.32101042858751	Is that it?"
njp.32101042858751	Is that outspoken enough to suit?
njp.32101042858751	Is that what you see in me?"
njp.32101042858751	It seems long ago that we parted company, does n't it?"
njp.32101042858751	It was only a question of time when Bell- wood would bring things to a crisis through his own be- havior, and then what?
njp.32101042858751	It will be a sudden departure, but what of that?
njp.32101042858751	Just one more question: Did anyone tell you to look for this letter?"
njp.32101042858751	Kellogg?"
njp.32101042858751	Know that?
njp.32101042858751	Let me just be that friend, wo n't you?"
njp.32101042858751	Let's hear the old heart?"
njp.32101042858751	Let's see, this is December — it's just a year ago that we came out here, is n't it?
njp.32101042858751	May I walk home with you, if you are going?"
njp.32101042858751	More than one, did n't you?"
njp.32101042858751	Not guilty, and so say you all.—Any further charges, Mr. District Attorney?"
njp.32101042858751	Oh, they know, do n't they?"
njp.32101042858751	Oh, would they ever answer?
njp.32101042858751	Pray forgive me all this, wo n't you?
njp.32101042858751	Probably started for home; where else would he go to?
njp.32101042858751	Really, Amy, child, you'd""Did he?"
njp.32101042858751	Remember when we burned our names into the door at college?"
njp.32101042858751	Rice?"
njp.32101042858751	See the smoke?"
njp.32101042858751	See?
njp.32101042858751	Shall I go on?
njp.32101042858751	Shall I wire two thousand words at once?
njp.32101042858751	She seems to have been rather — er — attractive — eh, what?"
njp.32101042858751	She should get away, you say?"
njp.32101042858751	Should you like Antioch, Mrs. Bellwood, do you think?"
njp.32101042858751	Some- body told me that she had attended a fashionable girls'school in New York; did she?"
njp.32101042858751	Something strange about him, is n't there?
njp.32101042858751	Suppose you come down with me to the hotel and meet him; will you?"
njp.32101042858751	Supposing it so happened that I could show an incontrovertible alibi?
njp.32101042858751	Sure you saw no one?"
njp.32101042858751	Surely he had heard something?
njp.32101042858751	Surely you did n't think that, if I was going to see him very soon, I would have been party to such an affecting tab- leau!—wasn't it heartrending?
njp.32101042858751	THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE"When may I come?"
njp.32101042858751	Tell me, Lawrence; did you, did you — love her?"
njp.32101042858751	Tell me, where are you hurt?"
njp.32101042858751	That he had been with her the day she was killed?
njp.32101042858751	That's the worst of our profession, is n't it?
njp.32101042858751	The Riviera?
njp.32101042858751	The child, is it alive?
njp.32101042858751	The latter muttered to him as he sat down:"Bad break we made, eh, Bill?"
njp.32101042858751	The leather of the seat was new?
njp.32101042858751	Then this tale of a quarrel between the minister and the accused — how about it?
njp.32101042858751	Then, confidentially, lowering his voice:"She's a case, eh?
njp.32101042858751	Then, with her eyes full of merriment, she continued:"That sounds like an improposition, a threat, or a comforting reflection, does n't it?
njp.32101042858751	There are no men in the family and — and somebody ought to be here; but of course you'll stay, too, wo n't you?
njp.32101042858751	Think of her, ca n't you?
njp.32101042858751	Those questioning gray eyes, why had they searched him so?
njp.32101042858751	Used to be in her Sunday- school class — know her pretty well, eh?"
njp.32101042858751	Was Dr. Kellogg alone on this occasion?"
njp.32101042858751	Was Judge Hollins there?"
njp.32101042858751	Was it a new seat?"
njp.32101042858751	Was n't it madness — delirium?
njp.32101042858751	We have to accept life just as it comes to us, do n't we?"
njp.32101042858751	We must bring the best in us; yet it is so hard to be patient at times, is n't it?
njp.32101042858751	We'll have our coffee and liqueurs on the terrace, or have you lived so long in England that you say'lekure'?"
njp.32101042858751	Well, what was the odds?
njp.32101042858751	Were you with him?"
njp.32101042858751	What ails you — blood thinning?"
njp.32101042858751	What are you doing here?"
njp.32101042858751	What are you talking about?
njp.32101042858751	What are your further plans — when you get over t'other side?
njp.32101042858751	What can I do?"
njp.32101042858751	What could it be?
njp.32101042858751	What day is it?"
njp.32101042858751	What did Mc- Knight mean?
njp.32101042858751	What did it mean?
njp.32101042858751	What do you intend to do?"
njp.32101042858751	What do you think are his chances?"
njp.32101042858751	What do you think of her?"
njp.32101042858751	What do you think?
njp.32101042858751	What does she do on her excursions to New York?
njp.32101042858751	What good can come of knowing her?
njp.32101042858751	What had brought her to that place at that hour?
njp.32101042858751	What has Tevelin said?"
njp.32101042858751	What have you been doing?"
njp.32101042858751	What if he directed Tevelin to make this confession, eh?
njp.32101042858751	What is the world to us?
njp.32101042858751	What letter — when?"
njp.32101042858751	What letter?"
njp.32101042858751	What must Lawrence have thought of his power of perception?
njp.32101042858751	What shall I do?"
njp.32101042858751	What strange urging was it that had prompted his impulse to return?
njp.32101042858751	What time did you get there?"
njp.32101042858751	What was all this leading to?
njp.32101042858751	What was before him?
njp.32101042858751	What would we do without my salary?
njp.32101042858751	What's that?"
njp.32101042858751	What's the matter with Florida if you like warm weather?
njp.32101042858751	What?
njp.32101042858751	What?
njp.32101042858751	When are you leaving us?"
njp.32101042858751	When did you begin with this nerve tonic, this sedative?"
njp.32101042858751	When did you come here?
njp.32101042858751	When did you leave Brimfield?"
njp.32101042858751	When would he return?
njp.32101042858751	When would he see him again?
njp.32101042858751	Where can we get any money to travel with?
njp.32101042858751	Where could we go?
njp.32101042858751	Where did it end?"
njp.32101042858751	Where did you find him?"
njp.32101042858751	Where did you get this letter?"
njp.32101042858751	Where did you go, Larry?"
njp.32101042858751	Where did you send it?"

njp.32101042858751	Who said anything about a confession?"
njp.32101042858751	Who's this?"
njp.32101042858751	Who?
njp.32101042858751	Why did you follow me?
njp.32101042858751	Why do n't you and the old lady and Amy and the children go off for a season?
njp.32101042858751	Why do n't you be sensible?
njp.32101042858751	Why do n't you declare yourself, eh?
njp.32101042858751	Why do n't you go and interview the prisoner?
njp.32101042858751	Why do n't you go on?"
njp.32101042858751	Why do n't you smoke?"
njp.32101042858751	Why had he come?
njp.32101042858751	Why had not 148 THE DECISION the wreck on the road claimed him?
njp.32101042858751	Why had she not explained some things he had asked her?
njp.32101042858751	Why not go on the early train on the morrow instead of waiting until Wednesday?
njp.32101042858751	Why not take the early trolley and avoid the pos- sibility?"
njp.32101042858751	Why should I?"
njp.32101042858751	Why should he?
njp.32101042858751	Why should not her knight have come to her in this hour?
njp.32101042858751	Why should the disfiguring sentence linger in his mind?
njp.32101042858751	Why was it ordained that there should be so much undeserved suffering meted out to those who were unmeriting of anything except the good?
njp.32101042858751	Why were we robbed?
njp.32101042858751	Why were you crying, Marsie?"
njp.32101042858751	Why, how could you?"
njp.32101042858751	Why?
njp.32101042858751	Will I call a trap for you?"
njp.32101042858751	Will that do you?
njp.32101042858751	Will you have brandy, menthe, chartreuse, kummel?"
njp.32101042858751	Will you help me, Frank?"
njp.32101042858751	Wo n't you come into the sheriff's office and wait till you want to go?"

njp.32101042858751	Wo n't you try?"
njp.32101042858751	Wo n't you — wo n't you, as an old friend, let me put something before you and listen?
njp.32101042858751	Worry kills quicker than pace — Now, please, wo n't you listen to an idea of mine, a suggestion?
njp.32101042858751	Would he dare to call him?
njp.32101042858751	Would he ever be happy here, in Brimfield?
njp.32101042858751	Would he let that knight- hood lapse?
njp.32101042858751	Would he run the risk of destroying it?
njp.32101042858751	Would her husband be able to take the train in the morning?
njp.32101042858751	Would it not be better to abandon it all now, before he had further committed himself?
njp.32101042858751	Would n't it be the worst thing that could possibly happen for her to hear of it?
njp.32101042858751	Would she have to wait always?
njp.32101042858751	Would they be good and obey Ellen, if she would go with them, too?
njp.32101042858751	Would they come back to Portsmouth?"

njp.32101042858751	Yes, my God, what end?"
njp.32101042858751	You are not injured?
njp.32101042858751	You are sure you gave this envelope to be mailed — you did not leave it on your desk?"

njp.32101042858751	You got my reply to your wire?

njp.32101042858751	You must have — didn't you say you flung him back against the stones?"
njp.32101042858751	You once gave it a name, a name like a story:'The Great Friendship'— was n't that what you called it?
njp.32101042858751	You said'children'just now, Frank; there are two of them, are n't there?"

njp.32101042858751	You were dodgin'them reporters, eh?"
njp.32101042858751	You were speaking of going away somewhere and I said it was rubbish — don't you remember?"

nyp.33433074861935	How can you be sure? nyp.33433074861935 How can you find him if he is hidden hereabouts?"
nyp.33433074861935	How can you tell that?
nyp.33433074861935	How can you tell?
nyp.33433074861935	How dare you mention guilt in the same breath with THE QUARRYMAN 131 my father?
nyp.33433074861935	How did he find out?
nyp.33433074861935	How did he obtain possession of it?
nyp.33433074861935	How did it happen — how did it happen?
nyp.33433074861935	How did you come here?
nyp.33433074861935	How do you know that Polwin's name is Krent?
nyp.33433074861935	How do you know that?
nyp.33433074861935	How do you know, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	How do you know?
nyp.33433074861935	How do you know?
nyp.33433074861935	How does Mr. Polwin substantiate his statement? — no, stop! nyp.33433074861935 How should I know, sir?"
nyp.33433074861935	How? nyp.33433074861935 I apologize,"she said with very good grace;"I fear my questions worry you?"
nyp.33433074861935	I beg your pardon sir, but Anak"Yes; what about him?
nyp.33433074861935	I did not know that you knew him well, Lavinia?
nyp.33433074861935	I never heard such rubbish,said he with a shrug;"why, Mrs. Tregar, where are your brains and those of the people hereabouts?
nyp.33433074861935	I thought that you liked him, Morgan?
nyp.33433074861935	I wonder, Sir Hannibal, if any one was masquerading as you? nyp.33433074861935 I'll explain, and so will he,"said the barrister,"but first tell me how you come to be in the mine with Miss Stretton?"
nyp.33433074861935	If I tell you and can prove the guilt will you let me go?
nyp.33433074861935	If he did not murder Bowring, who did?
nyp.33433074861935	In Heaven's name why did he do that, seeing that he has a son?
nyp.33433074861935	In my own house?
nyp.33433074861935	In spite of his innocence?
nyp.33433074861935	In what way?
nyp.33433074861935	Indeed I And how did you make money?
nyp.33433074861935	Indeed,answered Forde lightly;"and why?"
nyp.33433074861935	Is Sir Hannibal at home?
nyp.33433074861935	Is it not plain enough?
nyp.33433074861935	Is it true about the forged bills?
nyp.33433074861935	Is it true, father?
nyp.33433074861935	Is that marriage likely to take place, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	Is that not true?
nyp.33433074861935	Is that your reason for this secret journey?
nyp.33433074861935	Is this the way to the quarry?
nyp.33433074861935	Is this true?
nyp.33433074861935	It wo n't do for you and Mr. Forde to travel alone,said Miss Quinton;"you know how people gossip, Dericka?"
nyp.33433074861935	Jenny's a I/ O THE RED SKULLYou did?"
nyp.33433074861935	Jenny; oh, my Jenny, where are you?
nyp.33433074861935	Lavinia, you do n't accuse me of murder?
nyp.33433074861935	Lord, sir, why should he do that? nyp.33433074861935 Love?"
nyp.33433074861935	Marry that?
nyp.33433074861935	Marry your son — that idiot?
nyp.33433074861935	Meaning that you do n't believe me?
nyp.33433074861935	Miss Stretton,said he at length,"will you answer me one question?"
nyp.33433074861935	Mr. Forde, may I ask why you have come here?
nyp.33433074861935	Mr. Forde,she said, very distinctly,"you have a trap here?"
nyp.33433074861935	No — luggage?
nyp.33433074861935	Not before?
nyp.33433074861935	Not in his room?
nyp.33433074861935	Of whom else? nyp.33433074861935 Oh, Oswald, do you accuse my father of black- mail?"
nyp.33433074861935	Oh, my dear, then you will marry me?
nyp.33433074861935	Oh, never mind the value,said Miss Lavinia impatiently;"to whom should Hannibal give the money if not to his own daughter?
nyp.33433074861935	Oh, no, no, how can you think so? nyp.33433074861935 Oh, no, no,"she minced, waving the handkerchief;"dear Sir Hannibal, how can you think that I would dream of such a thing?
nyp.33433074861935	Oh, no; how could he, sir? nyp.33433074861935 Oh, then the shopping excuse is a lie?"
nyp.33433074861935	Oh,she added with a shudder,"do you think he overheard?"
nyp.33433074861935	On account of that Bowring murder? nyp.33433074861935 On condition that I marry Morgan?"
nyp.33433074861935	On the road where the murder was com- mitted?
nyp.33433074861935	One moment, sir,she said quickly;"how did you know that my father was at Miss Quinton's in Kensington?"
nyp.33433074861935	Perhaps it will be better for Sir Hannibal to hide in another mine?
nyp.33433074861935	Perhaps you'll tell them to me?
nyp.33433074861935	Perhaps, Miss, you can tell me in what direction to look?'' nyp.33433074861935 Polwin?
nyp.33433074861935	See that place? nyp.33433074861935 Shall I not come?"
nyp.33433074861935	Sir Hannibal's steward?
nyp.33433074861935	So I understand,said Dericka coldly;"but what has all this to do with me?"
nyp.33433074861935	Sophia?
nyp.33433074861935	That is Hannibal's steward?
nyp.33433074861935	That is the condition, is it?
nyp.33433074861935	That skull affair is peculiar?
nyp.33433074861935	That's a long story,said Forde more comfortable;"will you tell it to me or to your wife?"
nyp.33433074861935	The Grange? nyp.33433074861935 The death's head?"
nyp.33433074861935	The third time of seeing the skull?
nyp.33433074861935	Then tell me, when did you see Polwin last?
nyp.33433074861935	Then there is some truth in what Anak says?
nyp.33433074861935	Then what you said to Carney is true?
nyp.33433074861935	Then who is the criminal?
nyp.33433074861935	Then why did he fly, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you can not elucidate the mystery?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you did not say that he was within a short distance of meeting a violent death?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you have been saying something against him?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you have no true evidence?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you know where he is, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you know where papa is?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you really think that Sir Hannibal killed Bo wring?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you think that he is innocent?
nyp.33433074861935	Then you wo n't dislike me any more?
nyp.33433074861935	Then, to get to the spot where the granite fell Sir Hannibal would have to scramble over the hill from the other road?
nyp.33433074861935	Thisis very terrible, is it not? nyp.33433074861935 To have Sir Hannibal's fortune told, you mean?"
nyp.33433074861935	To that half- witted creature?
nyp.33433074861935	To what particular sad news do you allude, Miss Warry?
nyp.33433074861935	Very frank,assented Oswald, puzzled;"but why?"
nyp.33433074861935	Was he a German?
nyp.33433074861935	Was there a skull in the house, Sir Hannibal?
nyp.33433074861935	Was there any need of such a letter?
nyp.33433074861935	We had to choose some sort of signal,said Anne tartly, for she was worn out and short- tempered;"will you go yourselves, or shall I come with you?"
nyp.33433074861935	Well, Mr. Polwin, and what do you advise?
nyp.33433074861935	Well, and what did you do?
nyp.33433074861935	Well,said Forde coldly,"and what have they been doing; murdering John Bowring?"
nyp.33433074861935	Well?
nyp.33433074861935	Well?
nyp.33433074861935	Well?
nyp.33433074861935	What about Anak?
nyp.33433074861935	What about Sir Hannibal and Mr. Bowring in Africa?
nyp.33433074861935	What about your daughter?
nyp.33433074861935	What about, Miss Warry?
nyp.33433074861935	What are you talking about, man?
nyp.33433074861935	What are you thinking of, Oswald?
nyp.33433074861935	What did I say?
nyp.33433074861935	What did he say in reply?
nyp.33433074861935	What did you read?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you know of that, Lavinia?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean by killing my son?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean by that speech?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you think of all this?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you think, Miss Quinton?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you think, Sir Hannibal?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you want me for?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you want me to do, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	What do you wish to do yourself?
nyp.33433074861935	What does all this mean?
nyp.33433074861935	What does it say?
nyp.33433074861935	What does she know about that Death's Head?
nyp.33433074861935	What does this devilry mean?
nyp.33433074861935	What facts?
nyp.33433074861935	What good fairy sent you here?
nyp.33433074861935	What has he got to do with it?
nyp.33433074861935	What if I have?
nyp.33433074861935	What is it you wanted to tell me?
nyp.33433074861935	What is it?
nyp.33433074861935	What is it?
nyp.33433074861935	What is the matter?
nyp.33433074861935	What is to be done?
nyp.33433074861935	What kind of a skull was it?
nyp.33433074861935	What makes you think that?
nyp.33433074861935	What sort of a shock?
nyp.33433074861935	What sort of business?
nyp.33433074861935	What tale, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	What will your father say to all this?
nyp.33433074861935	What will your pa say to that?
nyp.33433074861935	What's all this?
nyp.33433074861935	What's that?
nyp.33433074861935	What's that?
nyp.33433074861935	What's that?
nyp.33433074861935	What's to be done?
nyp.33433074861935	What, not about Moolu and his"Who told you of that?
nyp.33433074861935	What, that sheep dangerous?
nyp.33433074861935	What, when Penrith was there? nyp.33433074861935 What?"
nyp.33433074861935	What?
nyp.33433074861935	When did you see him again?
nyp.33433074861935	When will you allow me to ask Sir Hannibal?
nyp.33433074861935	When?
nyp.33433074861935	Where are the police?
nyp.33433074861935	Where are they?
nyp.33433074861935	Where did he go?
nyp.33433074861935	Where did the fire begin?
nyp.33433074861935	Where is Miss Stretton, my dear?
nyp.33433074861935	Where is she now?

nyp.33433074861935	Who are Mr. and Mrs. Trubby?
nyp.33433074861935	Who are you?

nyp.33433074861935	Who is the person?
nyp.33433074861935	Who knows about it?
nyp.33433074861935	Who says that?
nyp.33433074861935	Who the dickens can have done it?
nyp.33433074861935	Who will lock you up?
nyp.33433074861935	Why are n't you at the Manor House?
nyp.33433074861935	Why can not we get married while I am in town?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did he go by that road?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did n't you speak?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did the death's head excite the fears of- the deceased?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you conceal yourself so unnecessarily?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you lead those quarrymen to the Dower House?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you not bring Sir Hannibal with you?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you not come here?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you not return to the fete?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you speak of the matter at all?
nyp.33433074861935	Why did you?
nyp.33433074861935	Why do n't you get it yourself?
nyp.33433074861935	Why do you hate Sir Hannibal?
nyp.33433074861935	Why do you hunt me?
nyp.33433074861935	Why not at the f&te on that day when Dericka and myself came upon you, Miss Stretton?
nyp.33433074861935	Why not?
nyp.33433074861935	Why should I curse Polwin, my son's friend?
nyp.33433074861935	Why should I?
nyp.33433074861935	Why should he have struck you?
nyp.33433074861935	Why was Krent kicked out?
nyp.33433074861935	Why — do — you — hunt — me?
nyp.33433074861935	Why, Miss Stretton?
nyp.33433074861935	Why, Oswald?
nyp.33433074861935	Why, in Heaven's name?
nyp.33433074861935	Why?
nyp.33433074861935	Why?
nyp.33433074861935	Will you not accept my arm and walk round the grounds?
nyp.33433074861935	Will you not go to my mother now?
nyp.33433074861935	Will you see Polwin?
nyp.33433074861935	With Miss Quinton and Dericka? nyp.33433074861935 Wo n't you do something for him?"
nyp.33433074861935	Would you like me to see him for you, dearest?
nyp.33433074861935	Yes, but how did you know that I was at the Dower House?
nyp.33433074861935	Yes, sir; but will he give back the money?
nyp.33433074861935	Yes?
nyp.33433074861935	Yes?
nyp.33433074861935	Yet I presume you placed the skull on the table yourself so as to add to the effect of your fortune- telling?
nyp.33433074861935	Yet you went in there to inquire?
nyp.33433074861935	You are Hugh Carney?
nyp.33433074861935	You believe Sir Hannibal to be innocent?
nyp.33433074861935	You can prove the marriage?
nyp.33433074861935	You do n't believe me?
nyp.33433074861935	You do n't know?
nyp.33433074861935	You do n't think me unwomanly?
nyp.33433074861935	You fancy that it may be a forgery?
nyp.33433074861935	You have been to school, I should say?
nyp.33433074861935	You know Miss Quinton?
nyp.33433074861935	You really mean this for a proposal?
nyp.33433074861935	You said that I was engaged an hour or so ago?
nyp.33433074861935	You say that you know the reason?
nyp.33433074861935	You wo n't tell mother that I told you?
nyp.33433074861935	You would have to make over the money to him, then?
nyp.33433074861935	You would let the money go?
nyp.33433074861935	You'll see Anak also, sir?
nyp.33433074861935	You, Miss Warry — who have been with us since Dericka was a baby — leave us?
nyp.33433074861935	'< Do you mean to say that they would attack her for saving the property of Sir Hannibal from an unprovoked assault?"
nyp.33433074861935	128 THE QUARRYMAN 129"What does this man want to see me about?"
nyp.33433074861935	22 THE RED SKULL"With me?"
nyp.33433074861935	26 THE RED SKULL “ What does he mean? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074861935	282 THE RED SKULL"What's that to me?
nyp.33433074861935	302 THE RED SKULL thwarted at every turn,"if I put things right will you give me five thousand a year and get me safely out of England?"
nyp.33433074861935	50 THE RED SKULL"Do you go to hear the will read?"
nyp.33433074861935	62 THE RED SKULL"Dericka, would you leave your old father?"
nyp.33433074861935	84 THE RED SKULL"I'll come,"he said hurriedly;"where am I to meet you?"
nyp.33433074861935	AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE 93"The son?
nyp.33433074861935	And our marriage?''
nyp.33433074861935	And pray, have you asked Mr. Forde to come to my house and without requesting my permission?"
nyp.33433074861935	And the price, Dericka?"
nyp.33433074861935	And why, Hannibal, did you see a doctor?"
nyp.33433074861935	And you think it is peculiar?
nyp.33433074861935	Bowring?"
nyp.33433074861935	Bowring?"
nyp.33433074861935	Bowring?"
nyp.33433074861935	Bowring?"
nyp.33433074861935	But had she reason to believe that Morgan would kill the steward?
nyp.33433074861935	But if the police suspect Sir Hannibal, why did they not arrest him?"
nyp.33433074861935	But now you know what a devil Polwin is, and that his real name is not Polwin, perhaps you'll help?"
nyp.33433074861935	But this death's head?"
nyp.33433074861935	But what do you think of the threat?"
nyp.33433074861935	But why pay it to me?"
nyp.33433074861935	But you did not tell me, Hannibal, how you came up?"
nyp.33433074861935	By the way, have those rascally quarrymen sacked the house?"

nyp.33433074861935	The baronet turned on her sharply:"Why do you say that?"

nyp.33433074861935	The question is this: What does Hannibal mean by acting in this way?"
nyp.33433074861935	Then, turn- ing to Bowring, who looked on grimly at this comedy, she said promptly,"Do you require any further an- swer?"

nyp.33433074861935	cried her father in amazement;"what are you doing here?''
nyp.33433074861935	echoed Sir Hannibal, growing red and looking fierce;"and what may Mr. Bowring want?"
nyp.33433074861935	ejaculated Dericka;"your father?"
nyp.33433074861935	he asked the poor creature,"not Jenny?"

nyp.33433074861935	said Forde with satisfaction;"and what is the tale?"
nyp.33433074861935	said Sir Hannibal suddenly,"and then you placed the red skull in the fortune- telling tent?"
nyp.33433074861935	sighed the girl, much disturbed by these unpleasant revelations;"but how did Mr. Bow- ring come to the Grange?"
nyp.33433074861935	snorted the housekeeper;"and how do I know but what you two wo n't diddle me?"
nyp.33433074861935	« My — good — name?"

nyp.33433074876404	- “ Is there anything you want before we go? ” the bushranger inquired, as civilly as you please.
nyp.33433074876404	- “ Sharks? ” he was saying.

nyp.33433074876404	And that ’s all. ” “ How long did you say it is since he saved your father's life? ” Dick asked, after a short pause.
nyp.33433074876404	And then where should I be without my little pile? ” After breakfast Dick read the letter from Yorkshire in his own room.
nyp.33433074876404	And what the deuce do you want with me? ” “ Oh, so you're in a hurry, are you? ” sneered the man.
nyp.33433074876404	And what the deuce do you want with me? ” “ Oh, so you're in a hurry, are you? ” sneered the man.
nyp.33433074876404	Answer me: had you planned this? ” “ You know that is absurd. ” How coldly, how evenly she spoke!
nyp.33433074876404	Are you mad?
nyp.33433074876404	As the wagon drew abreast his horse was wheeled to one side, and a hearty voice hailed the hawkers: “ Got a match, mateys?
nyp.33433074876404	As to your friends, did you expect to live on them forever? ” The other's vehemence was checked.
nyp.33433074876404	At last he seemed unable to stand it any longer, for he sprang forward and whis- pered hoarsely in the woman's ear: “ What are you doing?
nyp.33433074876404	At last, by good luck, I did find you. ” “ Where? ” “ At the Exhibition.
nyp.33433074876404	Bad as he was — bad as she was could he go coldly on his way and let her die?
nyp.33433074876404	Bad as it was, it would have been worse if you had seen much more of him. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433074876404	Besides, Robson had behaved well yes- terday: without him, what might not have happened before Dr. Mowbray arrived?
nyp.33433074876404	But as for his people, better tell them just before he went — say the week before, or why not on the very day of sailing?
nyp.33433074876404	But can you expect it? ” “ Listen to me! ” cried Miles, in a deep faltering voice.
nyp.33433074876404	But if so, for whom?
nyp.33433074876404	But man, man, what about you?
nyp.33433074876404	But not for always, ” added Flint sud- denly; “ I do n't say “ ever afterwards;'why should you?
nyp.33433074876404	But what could he do?
nyp.33433074876404	But what was he to do?
nyp.33433074876404	But who'd ha ’ thought you'd be better than your word?

nyp.33433074876404	By- the- bye, we missed you too; did you go home? ” “ Yes. ” Dick faltered a little.

nyp.33433074876404	Could he possibly have been made so miserable during these few weeks that he would be glad to bury himself again in the bush?
nyp.33433074876404	Could his case be really so hopeless as he himself believed it?
nyp.33433074876404	Could it be from any other cause?

nyp.33433074876404	Dear Dick, ” she added in a tone of earnest entreaty, “ can not we be friends still? ” “ No 1"exclaimed Dick, hoarsely.
nyp.33433074876404	Dick felt his heart bleeding for her, but what could he do?
nyp.33433074876404	Did it matter how he made it, once out there?
nyp.33433074876404	Did this absurd romanticism run in the IO5 At Large family?

nyp.33433074876404	Do you hear?
nyp.33433074876404	Do you promise? ” The low, tearful, plaintive tones ceased, and there was silence in the room.
nyp.33433074876404	Do you remember my disagreeing with you when you declared Alice had never been more brilliant, and so on?
nyp.33433074876404	Do you think a trifle'll pay for all that?
nyp.33433074876404	Do you think he could carry it ten miles, let alone two hundred? ” Jem Pound looked hard at the man who had been his captain in a life of crime.

nyp.33433074876404	He had promised to ac- company them again in a week or two; would not Dick join the party?

nyp.33433074876404	If so, was it the father, or the grandfather, or the great- grandfather that died in a madhouse?
nyp.33433074876404	Is it all on Alice's account, I wonder?
nyp.33433074876404	Is it so very much to ask? ” he added humbly — for him.
nyp.33433074876404	Is that the step of a healthy girl?
nyp.33433074876404	Is that what you'd say?
nyp.33433074876404	It ended thus: “ Then you are quite sure that this hundred will be enough for you to go on with? ” “ More than enough; fifty would have done.
nyp.33433074876404	It was true that Ned had treated her heartlessly; but, believing what he believed of her, could she blame him?
nyp.33433074876404	It'd be no sort o'use tackling him there. ” “ But surely they are back by now? ” exclaimed Mrs. Ryan, impatiently.
nyp.33433074876404	It's my own idea entirely, and I want you to tell me just this: Have your friends heard anything of this Miles since he left them?
nyp.33433074876404	Let go my hands, will you?
nyp.33433074876404	Miles Alice cares for? ” Mrs. Parish smiled superior.
nyp.33433074876404	Miles answered with cool contempt: “ Do you think a man clears out with five hundred ounces in his pockets?
nyp.33433074876404	Miles himself?
nyp.33433074876404	Miles so dread a photograph of himself?
nyp.33433074876404	Miles was somewhat tired, I presume, Dr. Robson? ” Mrs. Parish was saying.
nyp.33433074876404	Miles, who was standing near the piano, and asked him confidentially if he had not secured some dances with Alice?
nyp.33433074876404	Miles? ” Alice's father interrupted her.
nyp.33433074876404	Miles? ” He had almost said “ this fellow Miles. ” “ Has papa never told you? ” Alice asked in sur- prise.
nyp.33433074876404	Miles? ” He had almost said “ this fellow Miles. ” “ Has papa never told you? ” Alice asked in sur- prise.
nyp.33433074876404	Miles? ” The question was put in a solemn undertone by Cousin Philip.
nyp.33433074876404	Mother, will you?
nyp.33433074876404	Must he, then, parley a second time with the villain — let him off again, trust him again, go on shielding a known desperado?
nyp.33433074876404	No?
nyp.33433074876404	No?
nyp.33433074876404	Now, what would you do, Dick? ” “ What's the good of talking about it? ” said Dick.
nyp.33433074876404	Now, what would you do, Dick? ” “ What's the good of talking about it? ” said Dick.
nyp.33433074876404	Of course you gave him your version as to who I am? ” “ My version! ” exclaimed Edmonstone scornfully.
nyp.33433074876404	Oh, Dick, why — why did you never tell us about the bush- ranger? ” Mrs. Edmonstone gazed fondly at her son — and shivered.
nyp.33433074876404	Oh, why had she told Pound?
nyp.33433074876404	On leaving England he had asked himself, What was his chief ob- ject in going out?
nyp.33433074876404	Ryan, ” added Edmonstone in an altered manner, “ you understand me by this time?
nyp.33433074876404	Shall I see you, sir, then? ” “ See me?
nyp.33433074876404	Shall I see you, sir, then? ” “ See me?
nyp.33433074876404	Suppose I stay and insist on evidence being brought against me? ” said Miles to the Colonel.
nyp.33433074876404	Surely you can put yourself in my place at this point?
nyp.33433074876404	That was the intention expressed in your letter, I think? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074876404	That ‘ Week in the Sandwich Isl- ands — it was yours, was n’t it? ” Dick admitted that it was.
nyp.33433074876404	The Colonel was confessedly unversed in women's ways — then why did he meddle?
nyp.33433074876404	The inner Alice echoed the question: Was it so very much to ask — or to grant?
nyp.33433074876404	The scenery is gorgeous, but the land — is a caution l ’ ’ “ Barren? ” asked Dick.
nyp.33433074876404	The thought throbbed in his brain, the unspoken words sang in his ears: Was she dead?
nyp.33433074876404	Then he started up in his bed, and called sternly: “ Who is there?
nyp.33433074876404	Then how was he to act?
nyp.33433074876404	Then what was he to do?
nyp.33433074876404	Then who could it be?
nyp.33433074876404	Then why do nothing till to- night? ” The fellow hesitated, and again peered rapidly into every corner of the night.
nyp.33433074876404	Then why had not this been done?
nyp.33433074876404	To Colonel Bristo's, do you know? ” “ That was it. ” “ It's a pity I did n't come by the other train! ” His tone puzzled the woman.
nyp.33433074876404	To him it seemed like lead; until suddenly — did it press a bruise or a wound, that such a hideous spasm should I45 At Large cross his face?
nyp.33433074876404	To my mind, a few hours, or even a night or two, more or less — ” “ Are neither here nor there?
nyp.33433074876404	To start afresh How could I have borne the thought yesterday?
nyp.33433074876404	Was he to show no quar- ter, since this villain had played false?
nyp.33433074876404	Was it not admitted in the beginning that he was an obstinate fellow?
nyp.33433074876404	Was it possible that his suspicion could be absolutely groundless?
nyp.33433074876404	Was it possible that this was he who landed in England less than a month ago — so gay, so successful, so boy- ish?
nyp.33433074876404	Was she dying?
nyp.33433074876404	Was she so very indignant with him?
nyp.33433074876404	Was the woman ill?
nyp.33433074876404	Was there one with a foot more light and nimble?
nyp.33433074876404	Was this man to die in his arms without an effort to save him?
nyp.33433074876404	Was this the man she had loved so wildly long ago — this wreck?
nyp.33433074876404	Was this the result of trying to rule her heart by her head?
nyp.33433074876404	Was this, then, her handiwork?
nyp.33433074876404	Well, at all events, you own that we should lose no time about getting to some bank or other? ” “ Yes, on the whole.
nyp.33433074876404	Well, was she not to be admired and envied?
nyp.33433074876404	What are we here for?
nyp.33433074876404	What could be better?
nyp.33433074876404	What did he say? ” “ He said he would n't give us a farthing.
nyp.33433074876404	What do you mean by holding my wrists like this?
nyp.33433074876404	What do you say, Alice? ” “ I have a strong case — ” Dick was beginning, but he was cut short.
nyp.33433074876404	What do you say, mother?
nyp.33433074876404	What else could it be but money?
nyp.33433074876404	What explanation have 43 At Large you to offer?
nyp.33433074876404	What had changed and saddened her?
nyp.33433074876404	What had come over the girl in these few weeks?
nyp.33433074876404	What had happened to Elizabeth?
nyp.33433074876404	What had he to fear?
nyp.33433074876404	What has happened? ” The tones were apathetic — those of a man who has heard his doom already, to whom nothing else can matter much.
nyp.33433074876404	What have we crossed the sea for?
nyp.33433074876404	What have you done? ” “ What have I done? ” cried Ryan, hoarsely.
nyp.33433074876404	What have you done? ” “ What have I done? ” cried Ryan, hoarsely.
nyp.33433074876404	What is that to me?
nyp.33433074876404	What made her droop like a trampled flower?
nyp.33433074876404	What right have I to live any more?
nyp.33433074876404	What shall we do with him? ” His mind had annihilated space: it had flown back to the bush.
nyp.33433074876404	What tie or obli- 158 Quits gation could possibly exist between this young Ed- monstone and Sundown the Australian bushranger?
nyp.33433074876404	What was he to do?
nyp.33433074876404	What was the gentleman like? ” “ Very tall. ” “ Taller than I am, I suppose? ” “ Yes — easy. ” “ A fair beard? ” “ To be sure.
nyp.33433074876404	What was the gentleman like? ” “ Very tall. ” “ Taller than I am, I suppose? ” “ Yes — easy. ” “ A fair beard? ” “ To be sure.
nyp.33433074876404	What was the gentleman like? ” “ Very tall. ” “ Taller than I am, I suppose? ” “ Yes — easy. ” “ A fair beard? ” “ To be sure.
nyp.33433074876404	What was the matter — was it the heart?
nyp.33433074876404	What was the matter?
nyp.33433074876404	What was there against him?
nyp.33433074876404	What were his thoughts?
nyp.33433074876404	What would you say in my place?
nyp.33433074876404	What, did n't you 5 At Large know I was a dead shot with this?
nyp.33433074876404	What, did n't you hear our last words?
nyp.33433074876404	What, then, could the father do?
nyp.33433074876404	What, to begin with, was the mean- ing of this masterly plan for an honourable exit?
nyp.33433074876404	When a faint spark of hope burned on the horizon, was it natural that he should detect it at once?
nyp.33433074876404	When did you arrive? ” “ Last week.
nyp.33433074876404	When do you sail? ” “ In a week — next Tuesday. ” Dick breathed more freely.
nyp.33433074876404	Where is't ye want to be P ” “ Gateby. ” “ Gaátby Why, that's where it's gone with t'other gentleman'"“ Indeed?
nyp.33433074876404	Where was a woman to turn on such a night?
nyp.33433074876404	Where? ” “ Never mind where.
nyp.33433074876404	Who am I any good to, I should like to know?
nyp.33433074876404	Who are they? ” “ Do n’t speak so loud.
nyp.33433074876404	Who are you? ” At the foot of the bed a tall figure loomed through the darkness.
nyp.33433074876404	Who could have discouraged him?
nyp.33433074876404	Who has taught you to play with men's hearts like this? ” “ I have been too kind, ” said Alice, coldly.
nyp.33433074876404	Who is he? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074876404	Who that watched her dancing could have admitted it for a moment?
nyp.33433074876404	Who?"
nyp.33433074876404	Why all these questions? ” Dick regarded her unflinchingly.
nyp.33433074876404	Why make them unhappy before their time, when their happiness in having him back was still boundless?
nyp.33433074876404	Why should I be a slave to my Castle and you to your City?
nyp.33433074876404	Why should n't we emigrate together? ” No one in the boat could see the speaker's face; it was impossible to tell whether he was jesting or serious.
nyp.33433074876404	Why?
nyp.33433074876404	Will you come, too? ” “ No, I must say good- bye. ” “ Really?
nyp.33433074876404	Will you come, too? ” “ No, I must say good- bye. ” “ Really?
nyp.33433074876404	Would Dick add this to his little list of suspicious cir- cumstances?
nyp.33433074876404	Would she refuse him the dances he had set his heart on?
nyp.33433074876404	Would she speak to him?
nyp.33433074876404	Would you behold her most sweet?
nyp.33433074876404	You did all this, Ned Ryan — you did it all! ” Inflamed by the memory of his torments, Pound 139 In Bushey Park use of shaking your head?
nyp.33433074876404	You do n't understand women, Jack. ” “ Do you? ” asked the other, keenly.
nyp.33433074876404	You have guessed the reason?
nyp.33433074876404	You know him, then? ” “ Very well indeed.
nyp.33433074876404	You never thought f I6 I At Large of my following you out here?
nyp.33433074876404	You refuse?
nyp.33433074876404	You understand me, I think?
nyp.33433074876404	You would have been in proper hands long before this. ” “ Suppose I refuse to go?
nyp.33433074876404	and how we parted? ” He was going on, but Alice inter- rupted him by withdrawing her hand from his and rising from her chair.
nyp.33433074876404	and our promises?
nyp.33433074876404	not to make up to Miss Bristo, then? ” Blunt though the words were, each one was a self- inflicted stab to the heart of the man that spoke them.
nyp.33433074876404	not to the station?
nyp.33433074876404	notice the way our visitor re- fused the hock this evening?
nyp.33433074876404	of generosity in the most selfish? ” Jack Flint looked quaintly solemn; his face was in shadow, luckily.
nyp.33433074876404	of truth in the falsest?
nyp.33433074876404	really only that? ” “ Really only that, ” she repeated with a smile.
nyp.33433074876404	that he should shake off the woman so savagely?
nyp.33433074876404	what against “ it"?
nyp.33433074876404	what is that over there?
nyp.33433074876404	you do n't remember me? ” exclaimed the man more explicitly, his fingers itching to leap from the waistcoat- pocket.
nyp.33433074876404	“ A thousand pardons, my dear fellow; but how could I expect to see you here?
nyp.33433074876404	“ A young fellow? ” she began doubtfully.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Alice, ” he began gravely, “ you know our few words last night?
nyp.33433074876404	“ All is vague; why not be specific? ” “ I heard that — well, that that woman was your wife. ” Miles felt new hope within him.
nyp.33433074876404	“ And do n't you return the compliment?
nyp.33433074876404	“ And not long set up shop? ” Dick made no answer.
nyp.33433074876404	“ And when did you land? ” inquired the Colonel.
nyp.33433074876404	“ And why? ” asked Colonel Bristo, mildly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Anyone in the room on the right? ” “ No, I think not — I’m sure not.
nyp.33433074876404	“ As Riverina in a drought. ” “ And the tenants? ”- “ Oh, as to the tenants, we hit it off pretty well.
nyp.33433074876404	“ But let it pass; of course you will inform at once! ” “ What else can I do? ” demanded Dick, sternly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Did he expect me?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Drugged you, eh?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Every word of it. ” “ Fifty pounds — to- morrow night? ” “ Every penny of it.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Has he told you that? ” Dick asked quickly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Has it not been patent? ” “ Not to me, madam'"said Colonel Bristo warmly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Have you and Alice been quarrelling? ” asked Alice's father abruptly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Have you took us? ” asked he fiercely.
nyp.33433074876404	“ He escaped. ” “ Escaped? ” “ The same night.
nyp.33433074876404	“ He will be back to say it, though? ” he asked suspiciously.
nyp.33433074876404	“ How can you force such things from me?
nyp.33433074876404	“ How much is in it? ” “ A hundred and thirty pounds. ” “ Good!
nyp.33433074876404	“ How the devil do you know? ” “ By woman's wit.
nyp.33433074876404	“ I have only one thing to ask, ” he began hurriedly, in a low tone: “ was this a plot?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Indeed! ” he replied; “ but suppose he gives us some of his Irish adventures instead?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Is it not a terrible disappointment to your fam- ily? ” “ I suppose it is, ” said Dick uneasily.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Is it possible you do not know me? ” “ I have known you nearly a month, ” Miles an- swered.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Is she — is she — dead? ” “ God forbid! ” said Dick.
nyp.33433074876404	“ May I ask what is the special quality of torture you have reserved for me?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Much?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Must you answer now? ” cried Miles.
nyp.33433074876404	“ My dear boy, ” cried he, “ have I or have I not been as many years out here as you've been weeks?
nyp.33433074876404	“ New chum, I take it! ” I5 At Large “ What of that? ” returned Dick bitterly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ No, no, ” he was thinking, “ if I may not live for 269 At Large her, what else is there to live for?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Not coming? ” cried Mrs. Parish.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Not so very well, ” was the reply; “ but why do you ask? ” “ Because — between you and me, you know — I do n't like her.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Now, what do you think of that cove? ” inquired the Hon.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Oh, Alice, ” cried he, “ did you mean that?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Oh, and pray when were you in the Sandwich Islands? ” He confessed that he had never seen them.
nyp.33433074876404	“ On oath, now: is it so very much? ” Dick looked up wildly.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Philip, will you show Dick his room?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Say, mate, is this hundred and odd quid so very much to you? ” Still no answer.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Seen sharks?
nyp.33433074876404	“ She never came to England. ” “ She did n't, did n't she?
nyp.33433074876404	“ So you kept up your sketching out there, and drew bush scenes for our illustrated papers? ” said the Colonel.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Some one's galloping in the scrub — can't you hear the branches breaking?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Then I – no longer — have your love? ” he asked in a hollow voice.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Then how am I to learn? ” he asked, gazing help- lessly at his instructress.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Then it is only, ” he said eagerly—“only that you wish to cancel the past?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Then you admit that she is your wife?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Well, maybe he's what he looks. ” “ Then do you think he's come over on purpose?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Well, then, the first is, have you taken a dislike to me — a new one?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Well? ” said Miles; for Pound remained silent.
nyp.33433074876404	“ What are you giving us, Dick?
nyp.33433074876404	“ What are you saying?
nyp.33433074876404	“ What else did you hear, then? ” asked Miles, in a voice that was deep and faint at the same time.
nyp.33433074876404	“ What else would you have me do?
nyp.33433074876404	“ What have I done with him? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433074876404	“ What were you doing there? ” Miles demanded quietly, but with a nasty look about the eyes.
nyp.33433074876404	“ What! ” she ex- claimed in a whisper; “ not my brother Frank? ” “ Yes, your brother Frank.
nyp.33433074876404	“ What? ” he cried, sharply.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Where a word would end all, you will not speak. ” “ You honestly think it would end it the right way? ” Miles had asked her.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Where is the nearest doctor? ” “ Melmerbridge, ” murmured someone.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Who helped you? ” “ All in good time, Sundown, old mate!
nyp.33433074876404	“ Who- who are you?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Who?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Why did you save me a minute ago?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Why did you wait? ” repeated Miles impatiently.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Why, has anything happened? ” “ Poor Soul! ” “ Speak, man, for God's sake!
nyp.33433074876404	“ Why? ” asked the same woman's voice that Dick had heard in Bushey Park.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Will you join me?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Will you tell me, ” said Miles, “ what you have heard?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Would n't you see if they've cleaned it entirely? ” suggested Flint.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Yes, I heard that. ” “ It speaks for itself, eh?
nyp.33433074876404	“ Yes; on the spot. ” “ What do you mean to say? ” “ I have not decided.
nyp.33433074876404	“ Yes?
nyp.33433074876404	“ You are not going out alone, then? ” “ No, ” said Miles.
nyp.33433074876404	“ You did n't see Miles, I suppose? ” said the Colonel after a moment's thought.
nyp.33433074876404	“ You gave us the slip before, ” he said; “ how do we know you wo n't do it again? ” “ Watch me — watch me, ” he said.
nyp.33433074876404	“ You know what I mean? ” exclaimed Ryan, with weary impatience.
nyp.33433074876404	“ You mean to stay at home, yet sketch the ends of the earth; is that it? ” Her tone changed swiftly to 49 At Large one of extreme kindness.
nyp.33433074876404	“ You remember, ” he said at last, in a calmer voice, “ you remember the old days?
nyp.33433074876404	“ You saw him go? ” asked the Colonel, looking up in surprise.
nyp.33433074876404	“ You take his word for it? ” asked her father.
nyp.33433075819841	-- “ My father l ’ ” I cried, “ where is my father? ” “ Poor child, poor child, ” said nurse, and took me in her arms.
nyp.33433075819841	Am I then nothing but a civilized person, a wretched and impotent dreamer, who would fain act, but shrinks from soiling his hands in the action?
nyp.33433075819841	And now?
nyp.33433075819841	And yet, I thought, what if I find that he is guilty?
nyp.33433075819841	And yet, why did my suspicions gather force as I felt the masked, dissimulating, guarded nature of the man in all its strength?
nyp.33433075819841	Are they in the right?
nyp.33433075819841	Are they punished by remorse, or by the apprehension of danger, even in their momentary security?
nyp.33433075819841	As a matter of fact, until those fatal letters had done their work of disenchant- ment, of what was she guilty in my eyes?
nyp.33433075819841	But I?
nyp.33433075819841	But how can I regret my disobedience, since it was the one thing that set me on the track of the truth?
nyp.33433075819841	But what of this?
nyp.33433075819841	But what then 2 Was it not the same with my- self?
nyp.33433075819841	But whence this despair?
nyp.33433075819841	But why did she not spare methose trials which completed our alienation from each other?
nyp.33433075819841	But — was not the experi- ment a crucial one for him 2 To betray his trouble would be to avow all?
nyp.33433075819841	But, had not my aunt also been assailed by the same monstrous suspicion?
nyp.33433075819841	But, how could M. Termonde fail to be disturbed by the disap- pearance of his best friend?
nyp.33433075819841	By what right did he, a stranger, speak in the tone of a master in our house?
nyp.33433075819841	Did he interpret my thoughts from my steady observation?
nyp.33433075819841	Did not I expiate everything in anticipation by that one hour?
nyp.33433075819841	Do these criminals sleep in peace?
nyp.33433075819841	Do you believe in remorse? ” “ Yes, I do believe in remorse, ” he answered.
nyp.33433075819841	Does he know that I am here?
nyp.33433075819841	From what motive should the scoundrel hesitate to accept the offer 2 Moral ideas?
nyp.33433075819841	Granted that he is guilty, I argued, is there a single fact since the event which is not made clear by his culpability?
nyp.33433075819841	Had I not known this always 2 Why should I suffer from the knowledge?
nyp.33433075819841	Had he discovered my feelings?
nyp.33433075819841	Had he not made me master of my fortune at the most danger- ous age?
nyp.33433075819841	Had he not procured me admission, at the earliest moment, to the clubs to which he be- longed, and in every way facilitated my entrance into society?
nyp.33433075819841	Had he set out for England?
nyp.33433075819841	Had she herself forgotten it?
nyp.33433075819841	Had the assassin dyed his skin and worn a wig because my father knew him by sight?
nyp.33433075819841	Had they been his own also?
nyp.33433075819841	His eyes were looking — where, and at what?
nyp.33433075819841	How could I have contended with him?
nyp.33433075819841	How was 7A/ F SOAV 125 he to approach an explanation, when he had no positive accusation to bring?
nyp.33433075819841	How was I to account for the disorder of my clothes?
nyp.33433075819841	How was I to get at facts?
nyp.33433075819841	How, if he were guilty, did he dare to recall this remembrance 2 Why, if he were not, did his glance sink before mine?
nyp.33433075819841	I am afraid to kill; but had I been born in Italy, in the fifteenth century, would I have hesitated to poison my father's murderer?

nyp.33433075819841	If anybody who knew me had been there?
nyp.33433075819841	If he were guilty, would he not have feared that my aunt would have confided her thoughts to me on her death- bed?
nyp.33433075819841	In what state should I find her?
nyp.33433075819841	Is it with fear, is it with horror that I shudder at this question?
nyp.33433075819841	It was very hard, very cruel to myself; nevertheless, it was possible; for, after all, did I hate the wretch himself?
nyp.33433075819841	Nature?

nyp.33433075819841	Was he afraid to assassinate my father?
nyp.33433075819841	Was it from any motive of cowardice that I acted thus?
nyp.33433075819841	Was it my fault that everything, from the most important to the smallest circumstance, conspired to paralyze my will?
nyp.33433075819841	Was it the pain of his malady, or torture of another kind, such as I imagined when I gave myself up to my tragic conjectures?

nyp.33433074940499	A short silence followed; then Fensden said: “ If you had money what would you do? ” “ Go abroad, ” said Godfrey quickly.
nyp.33433074940499	Am I mad or dreaming? ” “ I fear it is no dream, ” replied the other.
nyp.33433074940499	Am I right in so sup- posing? ” Another pause, during which Victor's face was seen to express great emotion.
nyp.33433074940499	And did you like the poetry? ” “ Well, if I must be candid, and I ’m sure you wo n't mind, I must confess that I did not understand much of it.
nyp.33433074940499	And so the pretty model is married?
nyp.33433074940499	And so, Mr. Henderson, you have the misfortune to be connected with it?
nyp.33433074940499	Are we, therefore, to understand that there had been an entanglement before? ” Again Victor paused before he replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Are you so blind that you can not see that this girl is falling every day more deeply in love with you?
nyp.33433074940499	As I have n’t the money or the property I remain what I am. ” “ And that is? ” “ A trifler, ” Victor replied, with unusual bitterness.
nyp.33433074940499	As he picked it up and continued his toilet, he said in surprise: “ Teresina in London?
nyp.33433074940499	But how can we prove it?
nyp.33433074940499	But surely the great picture sold well? ” 20 THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDS “ Very well; for me, that is to say, ” God- frey replied.
nyp.33433074940499	But what makes you suddenly so solemn? ” “ I do n’t know, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940499	By the way, Godfrey, have you decided who is going to be your best man? ” “ Yes, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Can not you look at it in the same light as I do?
nyp.33433074940499	Can you not give us even a grain of hope to com- fort us?
nyp.33433074940499	Can you realize, dearest, that in ten days ’ time we are to be married? ” “ I am beginning to realize it, ” she an- swered.
nyp.33433074940499	Could you convince a jury that it was?
nyp.33433074940499	Did she enjoy the play you took her to see? ” “ Immensely, ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Did you recognise the- the hands? ” Godfrey crossed to the chimney- piece and covered his face.
nyp.33433074940499	Do n't you believe me? ” “ Yes, I know it, ” she replied, looking at him with the love- light shining in her own eyes.
nyp.33433074940499	Do you know that several ladies, great ladies in England, said that they would give anything to be so beautiful?
nyp.33433074940499	Do you remember the little place where I first saw you?
nyp.33433074940499	Do you think the driver would know you again? ” “ I should think it very probable, ” said Godfrey.
nyp.33433074940499	Does that meeting look like an accidental one?
nyp.33433074940499	Eligible young men were scarce in the neighbour- hood, and if she dreamt dreams of her own who shall blame her?
nyp.33433074940499	God knows, this is the crisis of my life, and to whom should I turn in my sorrow, if not to the woman I love, and whom I know loves me?
nyp.33433074940499	Had he had your in- terests at heart, would he have been so cal- lous?
nyp.33433074940499	Have you been able to arrive at any understanding of it? ” “ I think I can, ” said Godfrey, who dread- ed another explanation.
nyp.33433074940499	Have you for- gotten a little discussion we had together, and which eventually resulted in our leaving Eng- land for a time?
nyp.33433074940499	He glanced at Godfrey's face, and said, as if in inquiry: “ Anything the matter?
nyp.33433074940499	How do you feel now? ” “ Much better, ” Victor replied.
nyp.33433074940499	How long have you been in England? ” “ Nearly a month, ” she answered, looking away as if she desired to avoid his eyes.
nyp.33433074940499	How was he to know that for many weeks past she had been eating her heart out for love of him?
nyp.33433074940499	I feel, in a measure, responsible, do n't you See?
nyp.33433074940499	I have known more unlikely things. ” “ In that case what am I to do? ” “ Leave it to me and to Burrell to arrange.

nyp.33433074940499	I thought she was still in Naples? ” “ She is in London, ” Godfrey repeated.
nyp.33433074940499	I trust she is well? ” “ Quite well, signor, ” she replied.
nyp.33433074940499	I wonder what he would say if he could see me now?

nyp.33433074940499	Is he a clever man? ” “ One of the cleverest in the land, I should say, ” Godfrey replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Is it a case of murder, or what?
nyp.33433074940499	Is that not so? ” “ It is quite true, ” he answered; “ but how did you hear of it? ” She looked confused for a moment.
nyp.33433074940499	Is that not so? ” “ It is quite true, ” he answered; “ but how did you hear of it? ” She looked confused for a moment.
nyp.33433074940499	Is there any one you suspect? ” “ I have it, ” said Fensden, suddenly, be- fore Godfrey could answer.
nyp.33433074940499	Is there anything about the box that will afford a clew as to the identity of the sender?
nyp.33433074940499	It hurts me even to think of it. ” “ Your mind is made up? ” “ Quite made up, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074940499	It was not, however, until the afternoon before the THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDS 281 “ But why can not it be settled at once?

nyp.33433074940499	Should he go back to his hotel and to bed, or should he stroll on to his club and see who was there?
nyp.33433074940499	Surely you would wish me to be civil to the girl, and try to make her work as pleasant as possible for her?
nyp.33433074940499	THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDS Io?
nyp.33433074940499	That is correct, I suppose? ” “ Quite correct, ” said Godfrey.
nyp.33433074940499	That the girl was in serious trouble, he had not the least doubt; but since she would not allow him to assist her in any form, what could he do?
nyp.33433074940499	The poor girl seemed in terrible distress. ” “ And you gave her money, I suppose? ” said Victor.
nyp.33433074940499	The street, so far as I could see, was empty. ” “ I think you said this morning that the night porter let you in at your hotel?
nyp.33433074940499	Then he added politely: “ I hope Miss Devereux is well? ” “ Very well, indeed, ” said Godfrey, “ and most anxious to see you.
nyp.33433074940499	There could n’t be anything plainer than that, could there? ” “ It seems all right, sir, ” said the woman.
nyp.33433074940499	There is nothing else you wish to see me about, I suppose, gen- tlemen? ” “ I think not, ” said Godfrey.
nyp.33433074940499	Those hands were hers, were they not?
nyp.33433074940499	Was it just possible that he would be able to head the horse off from the pit?
nyp.33433074940499	Were n't they married when they arrived? ” Before the waiter could answer, light had dawned upon the manager, who thereupon chimed in.
nyp.33433074940499	What can you say to me? ” “ Only that I love you too, ” she mur- mured.
nyp.33433074940499	What do you know? ”- “ I only know that I am engaged to Molly Devereux.
nyp.33433074940499	What do you say now? ”- “ She is perfect, ” Henderson replied.
nyp.33433074940499	What enemy had he who hailed from Vienna?
nyp.33433074940499	What had he done to deserve this cruel fate?
nyp.33433074940499	What is it? ” asked his mother, while the two girls waited for him to speak.
nyp.33433074940499	What is the end of it all to be?
nyp.33433074940499	What of him? ” “ He is dead and buried, ” answered God- frey.
nyp.33433074940499	What was more probable than that he should wish to have the other woman out of the way before he could do so?
nyp.33433074940499	What was the result? ” There was no need for her to say to what she referred.
nyp.33433074940499	What, therefore, was more fitting than that he should catch the Io.18 train at Detwich, and set off for the Metrop- olis?
nyp.33433074940499	Whatever will you do with yourself? ” “ That is for the Future to decide, ” God- frey replied.
nyp.33433074940499	When do you leave? ” “ By to- morrow morning's train, ” he an- swered.
nyp.33433074940499	When do you think she will next honour you with her society? ” “ On Friday, ” Kitty replied.
nyp.33433074940499	When his own little world believed in him so implicitly, how could the greater world be so censorious?
nyp.33433074940499	When you left her in Burford Street, did you meet any one near the house? ” “ Not a soul.
nyp.33433074940499	Where are you living?
nyp.33433074940499	Where did you find? ” “ At Churley Spinney, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940499	Where did you meet her? ” “ In another of my contemptible restau- rants, ” Fensden answered.
nyp.33433074940499	Where did you see that knife before? ” Once more Victor hesitated.
nyp.33433074940499	Where is it you desire to take me? ” “ We must go up to town to- night, ” said the man, civilly enough.
nyp.33433074940499	Why are you here?
nyp.33433074940499	Why did he not go on?
nyp.33433074940499	Why must it be the day after to- morrow?
nyp.33433074940499	Why should not you and your mother dine with me, and go there after- ward?
nyp.33433074940499	Why should the murderer have sent the hands to me in this dreadful way? ” “ That is what I have been asking myself, ” Fensden replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Why should you not go on and finish the tour by yourself?
nyp.33433074940499	Why were they not happy? ” “ For a very simple reason, ” the manager replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Why, therefore, was he brought so low?
nyp.33433074940499	Will you agree to that? ” “ With all the pleasure in the world, ” God- frey replied.
nyp.33433074940499	Will you forgive me, dear? ” “ Of course I will, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074940499	Will you look, or shall I? ” In answer Godfrey opened the first paper.
nyp.33433074940499	You believe me, do n't you? ” “ I do, ” he answered, with tears in his eyes.
nyp.33433074940499	You do n't mean to say you think I'm such a beast as to encourage her? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074940499	You have seen Mr. Fensden, of course? ” “ I saw him in Court. ” Burrell replied, ap- parently without much interest.
nyp.33433074940499	You, Godfrey? ” she in- quired, looking up at him with startled eyes.
nyp.33433074940499	cleared up, nothing can be done. ” “ And Mr. Fensden, where did you leave him? ” asked Mrs. Henderson.
nyp.33433074940499	more about it than I have said? ” “ You must set the matter right without delay, ” said Sir Vivian.
nyp.33433074940499	what is a woman of her class doing with such hands?
nyp.33433074940499	“ And did you see any one you knew while you were in town? ” inquired his mother.
nyp.33433074940499	“ And now that I come to think of it, why should n't you come down with me?
nyp.33433074940499	“ And so you are returning to England, signor? ” said the signora, when the first pangs of her hunger had been assuaged.
nyp.33433074940499	“ And the future Mrs. Henderson? ” he said, airily.
nyp.33433074940499	“ And what is this?
nyp.33433074940499	“ And what sort of journey did you have? ” inquired his mother, as she gave him a cup of tea on his arrival at the house.
nyp.33433074940499	“ And why did you not let me know that THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDS 9I you were coming? ” he asked, reproachfully.
nyp.33433074940499	“ And why not?
nyp.33433074940499	“ And would you care, as you said the other day, to go back to live in London? ” asked mischievous Miss Kitty.
nyp.33433074940499	“ And your answer, Molly?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Are there any visitors? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Are you aware that the signora is dead and that Teresina is married? ” “ How should I be likely to? ” said Victor.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Are you aware that the signora is dead and that Teresina is married? ” “ How should I be likely to? ” said Victor.
nyp.33433074940499	“ But how am I to get home?
nyp.33433074940499	“ But that was the night on which we were at the theatre together? ” “ Yes, dear, the same night, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940499	“ But there's one thing I should like to say, if you do n't mind. ” “ What is it?
nyp.33433074940499	“ But they were not happy all the time! ” “ What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Did he not give his name? ” “ His name is Tompkins, sir, ” the butler replied.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Do you really wish it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Does it say when the inquest will be held? ” “ On Monday, ” Godfrey replied, after he had once more consulted the paper.
nyp.33433074940499	“ For the simple reason that that man happened to be myself. ” “ Yourself?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Good Heavens, man, what is the mat- ter? ” cried Godfrey, for the other's face frightened him.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Griffin promised to com- municate with you at once on receipt of any intelligence, did he not? ” “ He did, ” said Godfrey.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Have I not told you there is nothing to tell?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Have you ever seen that knife before? ” asked the prosecution.
nyp.33433074940499	“ How are you, my dear old fellow? ” he cried, as he turned the handle of the door.
nyp.33433074940499	“ How could you forget?
nyp.33433074940499	“ How do you do, Lady Devereux? ” he said.
nyp.33433074940499	“ How do you do, Miss Kitty?
nyp.33433074940499	“ How do you do, Mr. Fensden? ” said Mrs. Henderson, coming forward to meet him.
nyp.33433074940499	“ How is it that you are here, signor? ” she inquired, when they had greeted each other.
nyp.33433074940499	“ How is she?
nyp.33433074940499	“ How long did you run? ” “ I do n’t know that either. ” “ You do n't seem to have been very ob- servant.
nyp.33433074940499	“ How so? ” said Godfrey.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I could not have been mistaken, for I spoke to her. ” “ At what time did you see her? ” “ Just about midnight, ” his friend replied.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I did, ” Godfrey replied, “ but she refused to tell me. ” “ Did not that strike you as being singu- lar? ” “ No, ” Godfrey replied.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I do n't know the name, do you, Kitty? ” “ Why, yes, mother, of course I do, ” the girl replied.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I hear you have built a new conserva- tory, Mr. Henderson? ” said Miss Devereux, as if to change the subject.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I know the poise of that head is not quite what it might be, but have n't I promised you that I'll alter it to- morrow?
nyp.33433074940499	“ I wonder if, some day, you would let me paint you a little picture? ” he asked, almost timidly.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I wonder what she will be like? ” As every one who has visited Detwich is aware, the drawing- room is an exceedingly handsome room.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I wonder who she can be? ” As soon as the turf gave place to hard metal she pulled her hack up and proceeded at a walk.
nyp.33433074940499	“ I wonder who she can be? ” he re- peated.
nyp.33433074940499	“ In return, perhaps, you will instruct me in the ways of the Midlandshire hunt? ” “ I shall be delighted, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074940499	“ In that case she must have returned to England? ” “ Yes, ” Godfrey replied.
nyp.33433074940499	“ In the mean- time what are we to do with these poor relics? ” “ They must be handed over to the po- lice, ” said Sir Vivian.
nyp.33433074940499	“ In the meantime I can not help wishing that we could exchange mounts. ” “ You think that you could manage him better than I? ” she said.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Is it any use my imploring you to confide in me?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Is that the likeness of Fensden or of Mr. Onslow? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Is this man a friend of yours? ” Godfrey THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDS 33 asked, in English.
nyp.33433074940499	“ It is too horrible, ” he said; “ but what does it mean?
nyp.33433074940499	“ It was from Teresina. ” “ From Teresina? ” said the other, with a look of surprise.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Lor', I do hope, sir, there's nothing wrong? ” “ Not so far as you are concerned, you may be sure, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Molly, Molly, ” he faltered, “ what does this mean?
nyp.33433074940499	“ On hearing that she was married, did you not inquire the name of her husband? ” asked the coroner.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Once more, what are we to do? ” in- quired Fensden.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Please do not ask me. ” “ In that case, will you make me a prom- ise, Teresina?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Pray how long did the happy couple remain with you? ” “ For upward of a fortnight, ” the man- ager replied, consulting a book.
nyp.33433074940499	“ She died in Naples two months ago. ” “ And you are alone in the world?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Surely you must be jest- ing to talk like this? ” “ I am not jesting with you, if you are not jesting with her, ” the other replied.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Teresina, my dear child, are you telling me the truth? ’ ” “ Why should you doubt me? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Teresina, my dear child, are you telling me the truth? ’ ” “ Why should you doubt me? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Teresina, ” he said, “ why did you not tell me that you were married?
nyp.33433074940499	“ They never know when they're beaten. ” “ In the meantime, ” said Godfrey, “ I sup- pose you will permit me to say good- bye to my family?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Vat is dat you vant mit me? ” he in- quired irritably, as he took stock of the per- son before him.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Was he in love with her, do you think? ” “ I am certain he was not, ” Godfrey re- plied, shaking his head.
nyp.33433074940499	“ We shall see you to- morrow, I sup- pose? ” she said, as they passed through the lych- gate out into the high road.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Well, Godfrey, and what sort of a day have you had? ” asked Miss Kitty, as they stood in the drawing- room before the fire.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Well, my dear boy, ” said Mrs. Hender- son, “ what have you to tell us?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Well? ” said Kitty as they turned to go in.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What can I do for you? ” Godfrey in- quired.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What can have happened?
nyp.33433074940499	“ What did I tell you? ” he inquired with a note of triumph in his voice.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074940499	“ What do you think of it? ” She placed her hand upon his arm, and looked at him with her loving eyes.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What does it mean? ” “ I am afraid that it means murder, ” said Godfrey, very quietly.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What have you been doing since I saw you? ” Godfrey inquired as they took their places in the dogcart.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What is this particular question? ” “ I want to know how long you have known your friend? ” the old man inquired.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What is this particular question? ” “ I want to know how long you have known your friend? ” the old man inquired.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What new virtue have you discovered in her? ” “ I have found that she can subordinate curiosity to a sense of duty, ” said the young lady.
nyp.33433074940499	“ What on earth does this mean?
nyp.33433074940499	“ What possible reason could he have for do- ing me such an injury? ” THE MYSTERY OF THE CLASPED HANDs 225 “ One never knows.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Who could have done it?
nyp.33433074940499	“ Who is it? ” Godfrey asked.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Why could n't they settle it at once? ” Godfrey knew, but he dared not tell her the reason.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Why did the deceased so sudden- ly lose her employment? ” Once more Victor hesitated.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Will you be pleased to step inside? ” So saying, she held the door open for him to enter.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Will you come with me? ” Burrell followed her out of the room and down the long corridor to the room in ques- tion.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Will you take pity upon a stranger in the land? ” he said, “ and give me some in- formation? ” “ What can I tell you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Will you take pity upon a stranger in the land? ” he said, “ and give me some in- formation? ” “ What can I tell you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Will you take pity upon a stranger in the land? ” he said, “ and give me some in- formation? ” “ What can I tell you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074940499	“ You have heard me talk of old Henderson of Detwich? ” “ Your father's brother?
nyp.33433074940499	“ You have heard me talk of old Henderson of Detwich? ” “ Your father's brother?
nyp.33433074940499	“ You have heard nothing more, I sup- pose? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074940499	“ You have never had any experience of London life, William, so how can you possibly tell? ” she said, sharply.
nyp.33433074940499	“ You know when the trial comes off? ” “ As well as you do, sir!
nyp.33433074940499	“ You like her? ” “ Very much indeed, ” he answered, and as they passed down the hall together he made an important decision to himself.
nyp.33433074940499	“ Your husband dead, and your mother dead too? ” he repeated, almost incredulously.
nyp.33433074940499	“ “ What is it, Godfrey?
nyp.33433074940499	…?"
nyp.33433074919337	And did Sir Piers, my brother, know of this?
nyp.33433074919337	And took him arter all? ” asked the rustic, squinting more horribly than ever. nyp.33433074919337 Art sure of that? ” said Alan, slightly shivering, and re- garding his grandson with a look of inquisitive horror.
nyp.33433074919337	Have I not done enough?
nyp.33433074919337	So saith the rhyme.—Have you seen enough?
nyp.33433074919337	What further villany remains untold?
nyp.33433074919337	'— Speaks she true?'
nyp.33433074919337	'“ And what died Bess for, but to save you?"
nyp.33433074919337	'“ Let some one search for the body. ” “ Kilt?"
nyp.33433074919337	* Dost fear?
nyp.33433074919337	, “ Who approaches?"
nyp.33433074919337	- Alan, I mean- has anything happened to him, that he has taken his measures there so quietly?"
nyp.33433074919337	1 182 93 “ It bodes ill to Ranulph,"whispered Luke, “ doth it not?"
nyp.33433074919337	46 Ai n't we merry 25 pin?"
nyp.33433074919337	46 Who-- who is that old woman?"
nyp.33433074919337	6 But how?"
nyp.33433074919337	6. Who has dared to do this, I say?
nyp.33433074919337	66 And she sent this to you?
nyp.33433074919337	66 Didst thou not create that obstacle thyself?"
nyp.33433074919337	66 Hist!-a voice?"
nyp.33433074919337	66 We'll turn him inside outWhat's here? ” cried he- searching the Attorney's pockets.
nyp.33433074919337	66 What does that box contain?"
nyp.33433074919337	66 What does this mean?"
nyp.33433074919337	66 What then?
nyp.33433074919337	66 Where is she? ” 66 Gone, ” said Ranulph, in accents of despair.
nyp.33433074919337	66 Who will prevent my going forth? ”"I will, ” said Barbara Lovel, as she suddenly appeared in the door- way.
nyp.33433074919337	66 Will she not come?"
nyp.33433074919337	66 Wouldst thou know where- fore?
nyp.33433074919337	93 29 “ And what do you now propose to do? ” asked Turpin.
nyp.33433074919337	> whom do you mean?"
nyp.33433074919337	A marriage, saidst thou?
nyp.33433074919337	Again, I ask thee, wilt thou aid me? ” 6 I will.
nyp.33433074919337	Ah, Titus, my jewel--- are you there? ” exclaimed Dick, as he distinguished the Irishman.
nyp.33433074919337	And Sybil- what of her?
nyp.33433074919337	And am I then to believe what now you say?
nyp.33433074919337	And art beloved? ” 66 Not so."
nyp.33433074919337	And dost thou call it idle?
nyp.33433074919337	And have you no pity for youth and innocence?"
nyp.33433074919337	And thou art innocent?"
nyp.33433074919337	And wherefore followed you not?"
nyp.33433074919337	And wherefore not?"
nyp.33433074919337	And you mean to try it on to- night for the last time?"
nyp.33433074919337	Are all our horses and our arms in safety?
nyp.33433074919337	Are our horses in readiness?
nyp.33433074919337	Are our horses ready? ” asked Dick quickly.
nyp.33433074919337	Are the dead arisen to do honour to these nuptials?
nyp.33433074919337	Are you satisfied?"

nyp.33433074919337	I shall soon join'em. ” “ But you will not lay violent hands upon yourself, moth- er?"
nyp.33433074919337	I've killed her- but she has done it- ha, ha--- we have won — what?"
nyp.33433074919337	In the same tone, but with a sharp, suspicious look, she answered, “ My friend, sayest thou?
nyp.33433074919337	Is he not a devilish good- looking gentlemanlike sort of a fellow?

nyp.33433074919337	Oh, ” continued she, in an altered tone, “ have I mistaken thy meaning?
nyp.33433074919337	Pray satisfy her curiosity, Doctor?"

nyp.33433074919337	She cares not for distance — she knows not distress Can you show me a courser to match with Black Bess?
nyp.33433074919337	She must die. ”"And think you, you will be allowed to execute your mur- derous intention with impunity?"
nyp.33433074919337	She stands in my way- I remove her. ” “ Who placed her in thy path?"
nyp.33433074919337	She terrifies me; and yet she can not mean me ill, or my mother- we have never injured her?"
nyp.33433074919337	Take back your dagger- I dare not use it. ” “ And you love Ranulph?"
nyp.33433074919337	That underground marriage was sheer madness, and turned out as ill as such a 66 soon? ” 113 scheme might have been expected to do.
nyp.33433074919337	The bridegroom grows impatient. ” “ And the bride? ” asked Barbara.
nyp.33433074919337	The bridegroom is waiting; to thy mother, girl?"
nyp.33433074919337	The moon shines clear; Dost fear to ride with me?
nyp.33433074919337	Then who can name So merry a game, As the game of all games- High Toby?
nyp.33433074919337	There is a dark design to we d you to another. ” “ Heavens! ” ejaculated Eleanor, “ and to whom?"
nyp.33433074919337	They will murder me, mother, in your pre- sence. ” “ Whom do you fear, my child?"
nyp.33433074919337	Think you that even your own tribe will dare to execute your horrible purpose?

nyp.33433074919337	What oc- curred?
nyp.33433074919337	What pit was that which opened beneath me, to engulf me in its depth for ever?
nyp.33433074919337	What prudent man would beard the lion in his den?"

nyp.33433074919337	What wouldst thou?

nyp.33433074919337	What's that I see- a dead man?
nyp.33433074919337	What's this?"

nyp.33433074919337	Where are they, villain?-Whither are they gone?-answer! ”"I know not, ” replied Turpin, calmly.

nyp.33433074919337	Whose firmer hand lent aid unto the mur- derer's trembling efforts?
nyp.33433074919337	Why are we detained?"
nyp.33433074919337	Why did he not concede it?"
nyp.33433074919337	Why did you step between me and my bride?"
nyp.33433074919337	Why did'st thou not tell me this before?"
nyp.33433074919337	Why do we tarry?

nyp.33433074919337	Why dost thou grin at me?
nyp.33433074919337	Why need you meddle in this matter?

nyp.33433074919337	Will this be my lot, I marvel? ” said Dick, looking up- wards with an involuntary shudder."
nyp.33433074919337	Will you not say farewell?"
nyp.33433074919337	Will you pray if I retire and leave you?
nyp.33433074919337	Wilt thou assist me?"
nyp.33433074919337	Wilt thou convey it to him? ” “ I will, ” said Dick.
nyp.33433074919337	Wo art thou, that pretendest to know the se- crets of our house?"
nyp.33433074919337	Yet a moment — thou lovest, maiden, is't not so? ”- Few have loved as I love, ” said Sybil."
nyp.33433074919337	You ask if I love you?
nyp.33433074919337	You did not hesitate to tear your daughter from the man she loved, to give her to the man she hated; and for what?
nyp.33433074919337	You, or I?"
nyp.33433074919337	added he, stumbling forwards, “ a stone pillar, eh?
nyp.33433074919337	and for what? ” At that moment the deep bell of the Minster clock tolled out the hour of six.
nyp.33433074919337	are we to stand that, Mr. Coates?"
nyp.33433074919337	asked the Sexton; “ or shall we make good our way?"
nyp.33433074919337	cried Alan, with terrific eagerness, 66 Was not Sir Piers alone guilty of that damned act?
nyp.33433074919337	did you not say these people were gipsies?
nyp.33433074919337	didst thou not say she should be mine? ” Spare thy nick- names.

nyp.33433074919337	he is dead then; and what became of his fair wife-his brother's minion?
nyp.33433074919337	is this the first time you have looked upon a corse- shrink aghast — that you tremble before it?
nyp.33433074919337	mumpers, eh?
nyp.33433074919337	no claret flows, No facers sound- no smashing blows Five minutes pass — yet not a hit, How can it end, palls?
nyp.33433074919337	o What's here? ” added the loquacious Attorney, noticing the remnants of Turpin's repast."
nyp.33433074919337	real danger then?
nyp.33433074919337	remove it, I say.. What do you stare at?
nyp.33433074919337	returned the Priest; “ my hand is upon her throat- what more?"
nyp.33433074919337	s Is the hour then arrived?"
nyp.33433074919337	saidst thou those words in false compassion for my sufferings?-speak, it is not yet too late — all may be well.

nyp.33433074919337	thou devil's dam, Barbara, is it thou?"
nyp.33433074919337	vait a bit?
nyp.33433074919337	vociferated Barhara — Is that thy daughter- is that Lady Rookwood?
nyp.33433074919337	what has become of him?"
nyp.33433074919337	what if, in my turn, I bid you obey me?
nyp.33433074919337	what is this? ” exclaimed the Priest.
nyp.33433074919337	what yonder swings, And creaks, mid whistling rain?"
nyp.33433074919337	what's this?-my Lady Rookwood's superscrip- tion!- Excuse me, Mr. Coates, but I must have a peep at her Ladyship's billet doux.
nyp.33433074919337	where the devil are all the folks gone?
nyp.33433074919337	where'my church- yard pal, Peter? ” Here, ” cried the Sexton and Luke simultaneously.
nyp.33433074919337	you have seen them?"
nyp.33433074919337	· She is slain. ” “ Who hath slain her? ” asked Raonlph.
nyp.33433074919337	· Why do not these rocks fall in, and crush you and your iniquities?
nyp.33433074919337	“ A plague on all these Rookwoods?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ A wedding under ground?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Ah, he were a fool to attempt that, ” observed the con tryman, « but you followed, belike?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ An ugly dog! ” exclaimed Paterson—"what a deyil of a twist he has got! ” What's that you says about Dick Taarpin?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ And Peter Bradley?".
nyp.33433074919337	“ And do you likewise command me to do it?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ And if I were possessed, what then?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ And wherefore, mother, ” said she, “ may I not know?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ And who was Redmond O'Hanlon?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Are you privy to their concealment?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Art thou my bride?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Ay, aught sooner than that; but I would not murder “ Both?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Better she were here now, even though she were as that poor maid, ” groaned Mrs. Mowbray, “ than where she is. ”- Where is she then?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ But what was her objection?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ By St. Thomas à Becket, we'll have as fine a scene as I myself ever furnished to the Canterbury lieges. ”"About what?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Can you find us a glass of brandy, to keep out the fog? ” said Coates, who knew something of our ferryman's voca- tions.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Can you not live and save me?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Could you not love him?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ D- n your knuckles, Ralph, ” cried Dick, “ have you any raw meat in the house?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Did not the lad tell you they were rescued?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Did you never hear them?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Do n't you mark that?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Do n't you perceive that's a highwayman?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Do we part for ever?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Glad to see you, Captain Turpin, ” said he, “ can I do any thing for you?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Gone,"echoed the Major,"And Father Ambrose?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Ha! ” exclaimed Alan Rookwood, with a frightful look, 65 is it done?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Ha, ha? ” old earthworm, cried Dick, “ my Nestor of the churchyard, alone!
nyp.33433074919337	“ Ha?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Have you forgotten the name of Barbara Lovel?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Have you seen any one, fellow? ” added he, addressing the Patrico.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Have you seen aught of him? ” asked Coates.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Have you seen aught of them, or of Luke Bradley?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Her throat?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ How dare you oppose me in the discharge of my duty?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ How is this?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ How know you that, Lady? ” asked Handassah.
nyp.33433074919337	“ How shall I act? ” mused Ranulph.
nyp.33433074919337	“ How?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ I am not ex- actly the figure for a highwayman. ” “ Where is he?
nyp.33433074919337	“ I could certainly hit him,"thought or said the constable; “ but what of that?
nyp.33433074919337	“ I have prepared them. ” “ Are you ready?"!
nyp.33433074919337	“ I know you are a lad of amazing spirit. ” May be I can, Master, if I choose; but wo n't the other gemman walk in doors, likewise?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ I was about to follow, when I was prevented. ” “ How? ” asked Dick.
nyp.33433074919337	“ I will- she is at Rookwood?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Is Sybil within the apel?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Is it for my sake that you have braved your mother's displeasure?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Is it kilt he is?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Is it the hour? ” asked Luke, as he sprang from out the trap- door.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Is there anything else? ” “ Only an old snuffy fogle, and a pewter sneezer."
nyp.33433074919337	“ Know you that cipher?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Know you who speaks to you?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Knowest thou these features?"

nyp.33433074919337	“ Live to happier days, saidst thou, Luke?
nyp.33433074919337	“ May the devil break his neck, ” cried Peter, as he saw him dash through the brook, “ could he not let them alone?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Mother of mercy, ” cried she, “ whither was I going?
nyp.33433074919337	“ My bride?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Need'st thou my aid, ” asked Barbara?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ No fear for the consequences of crimes so dreadful?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ No more,"echoed Eleanor, in horror?
nyp.33433074919337	“ No reader?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Not now — well what is't?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Once more I ask you, do you fear the dead?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Rely on me?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Rescued! — by whom?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Resist! ” cried Mrs. Mowbray, in alarm,"are we prison- ers here? ” “ Let me make the attempt, ” cried Luke, with fiery impa- tience.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Said not that sweet voice so?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Shall we break his neck, or shoot him?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Stand aside. ” Might I have a moment's speech with you?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ That proof is wanting then?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ The four cautions, ” said King;"what are they?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ The match has her full and entire consent; but to what am I to attribute the unexpected happiness of your return?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Think you that I will stand by, and see my child slaughtered before my face?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Think you to rob me of my prey?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Thou canst not mean to destroy her who now stands at the altar?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ To- night?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Was she a prisoner? ” A prisoner!"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Was she alone?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What am I to do for you?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What am I to understand by this?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What has happened? ” asked Doctor Small and Mrs. Mow- bray, in the same breath.
nyp.33433074919337	“ What hast thou said to that girl?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What have you done?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What if I refuse your mandate?
nyp.33433074919337	“ What if she have swallowed a love powder?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What mean you, girl?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What means this? ” continued the old gipsy.
nyp.33433074919337	“ What new treachery is this?
nyp.33433074919337	“ What say you to a rubber at bowls in the meantime?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What!-Do you refuse, Richard Checkley?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ What's that you say of Mr. Coates, Sir Ranulph?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Where are they now?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Where are they?-In safety- speak! ”.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Where is Sybil?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Where is Sybil?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Whither?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Who know's what may happen?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Why did I venture into this horrible place?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Why have I not shared her fate?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Why have you fastened the door?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Will none remove the body? ” ejaculated Barbara.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Will thy art tell thee how and why she shall now hold possession?
nyp.33433074919337	“ Will you supply his place, and accompany us? ” asked Luke, of the ferryman.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Would you accept him were he to do so?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Would'st thou know who I am?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ Wouldst thou have me kill her? ” demanded he.
nyp.33433074919337	“ You are aware of her attachment to your brother? ” said Mrs. Mowbray.
nyp.33433074919337	“ You are my wife, ” said he; “ what then?
nyp.33433074919337	“ You do not allude to my mother?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ You hear the conditions?"
nyp.33433074919337	“ You would say a word to me in private, ” said Mrs. Mow- bray, “ shall I descend? ” The Priest bowed assent.
nyp.33433074919337	“ Your pursuers are at hand?"
nyp.33433074919337	• Speak! ” exclaimed Ranulph; “ but why do I loiter?
nyp.33433074919337	• The tomb?"
nyp.33433074919337	• Why do we linger here?"

nyp.33433074940952	- “ Anxious about friends, sir? ” he asked Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	- “ Where's father?

nyp.33433074940952	197 “ Uncle John can go by himself, and we will do just what we like while he is away, wo n't we? ” But at this Mrs. Alwynn demurred.
nyp.33433074940952	257 “ What do you want? ” said Dare, in the same suppressed voice, without looking at her.
nyp.33433074940952	283 “ Is it there? ” said Molly, sympathetically, laying her hand on the front portion of her amber sash.
nyp.33433074940952	44 I do. ” “ At the proper time? ” “ At the proper time. ” “ And in my sphere?

nyp.33433074940952	And as to herself?
nyp.33433074940952	And how did you say Mrs. Cotton of the lodge might be, miss, as I hear is but poorly too? ” Ruth replied that she was better.
nyp.33433074940952	And now that he had come, would he make the crooked straight?
nyp.33433074940952	And now, if she would get that green wool out of the red plush iron( which really was a work- box — such a droll idea, was n't it?
nyp.33433074940952	And were you there? ” “ Was I there?
nyp.33433074940952	And were you there? ” “ Was I there?
nyp.33433074940952	And why did you not mention that fact a little sooner? ” “ Without any reason for it?
nyp.33433074940952	And why did you not mention that fact a little sooner? ” “ Without any reason for it?
nyp.33433074940952	And why had he still got on his evening clothes at four o'clock in the morning?
nyp.33433074940952	And you remember that beautiful pig we killed last week?
nyp.33433074940952	And you saw a good deal of her? ” “ Of course I did.
nyp.33433074940952	Are they really nice?
nyp.33433074940952	Are you not going to dance any more? ” “ No, not unless Evelyn will give me another turn later, which she probably wo n't.
nyp.33433074940952	As Aurelia went up- stairs I saw her beckon Ralph and whisper to him: “ Am I really to wear them"“ Wear what, my angel?
nyp.33433074940952	At Henley, were we not in the same boat?
nyp.33433074940952	At the meeting of the four- in- hands, was not she on the box- seat beside me?

nyp.33433074940952	Besides, what can you accuse him off Intent to rob?
nyp.33433074940952	Besides, who would suspect their being there?
nyp.33433074940952	But still, you know, one would not like to make great friends with a Catholic, would one, Ruth?
nyp.33433074940952	But what did it matter?
nyp.33433074940952	But what?
nyp.33433074940952	By- the- way, are you aware we are going straight into a nest of private theatricals at Stoke Moreton?
nyp.33433074940952	By- the- way, did you see his face?
nyp.33433074940952	Charles, you never could have believed I would marry him, after all? ” “ Indeed, I did believe it.
nyp.33433074940952	Come, what were you doing in the passage at that time of night? ” Charles was touched, I could see.
nyp.33433074940952	Cook told him to go along at first, which was n't kind, was it?
nyp.33433074940952	Could not you brighten it up with a few cherry- colored bows about it, or a sash?
nyp.33433074940952	Could she do better with them?
nyp.33433074940952	Did not you see how Ralph tried to stop me when he thought I was committing myself by accusing Carr, who, it seems, was quite out of the question?
nyp.33433074940952	Did she know what she was pushing him into?
nyp.33433074940952	Did ye take note of his head?
nyp.33433074940952	Do n't I know the stubbornness of your heart?
nyp.33433074940952	Do tell me! ” “ Will you promise not to tell any one? ” “ May n't I tell Ralph?
nyp.33433074940952	Do tell me! ” “ Will you promise not to tell any one? ” “ May n't I tell Ralph?
nyp.33433074940952	Do you know where I found it?"
nyp.33433074940952	Do you know why you like her? ” “ I never thought about it, but I suppose it was because she seemed to like me. ” “ Exactly.
nyp.33433074940952	Do you remember? ” said Charles, suddenly.
nyp.33433074940952	Do you think we shall really get them back? ” “ I should not wonder. ” “ Oh, Colonel Middleton, I see you know.
nyp.33433074940952	Edifying, is n't it?
nyp.33433074940952	Evelyn and Middleton, will you have the goodness to come with me? ” And he led the way into the hall.
nyp.33433074940952	Evelyn, are you pouring out some tea for Mr. Carr?
nyp.33433074940952	General Marston, Colonel Middleton, will you have the goodness to go and glean up these young people?
nyp.33433074940952	Had I been awake only an hour?
nyp.33433074940952	Had he fallen ill and died out there, or met his death suddenly, perhaps in some wild adventure under an assumed name?
nyp.33433074940952	Had she a maid with her? ” “ No, ” replied Evelyn, “ she used to come to me next door when THE DANVERS JEWELS.
nyp.33433074940952	Have you a copy of the register of divorce as well? ” 4.
nyp.33433074940952	Have you got them all right? ” Involuntarily I raised my hand to my throat.
nyp.33433074940952	Have you got them with you? ” THE DANVERS JEWELS.
nyp.33433074940952	Have you often seen Carr act before? ” “ Never, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940952	He felt as if he were the central figure( when was he not a central figure?)
nyp.33433074940952	He said he wanted to see them very much. ” “ Oh, he did, did he?
nyp.33433074940952	He said one of you had known him in his better days, at — Oxford, was it? ” “ What name#"asked Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	He seems to be leaping on her feet a good deal, and she looks as if she were telling him so, does not she?
nyp.33433074940952	His dog- cart had just come into the yard. ” “ Has it?
nyp.33433074940952	How beautiful she is Was she looking as lovely as usual? ” “ More so, ” replied Charles, with conviction.
nyp.33433074940952	How did he come there? ” “ There is no man in the door- way, ” said Charles, reassuringly.
nyp.33433074940952	How did you grow to feel content? ” He saw there were tears in her eyes.
nyp.33433074940952	How is he? ” Ruth's dark gray eyes shot a sudden surprised glance at him.
nyp.33433074940952	How is your head getting on?
nyp.33433074940952	How much longer can you keep it up?
nyp.33433074940952	How old is this cousin of yours, Miss Deyncourt? ” “ About three- and- twenty. ”* “ Exceedingly suitable.
nyp.33433074940952	How should he, Waters, know?
nyp.33433074940952	I am a humble Christian, now I am so near heaven — eh, Middleton?
nyp.33433074940952	I am not sure it was not the other one. ” “ Then it is the second son who is going to be married, is it?
nyp.33433074940952	I dare say there was not a creature who went from here by the last train last night? ” “ Only two, sir.
nyp.33433074940952	I distrusted him from the moment he set foot in the house. ” “ Where is he at this instant? ” said Marston, getting up.
nyp.33433074940952	I felt I'd killed myself. ” “ How did they get you? ” said Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	I have never told you a lie, have I? ” “ Not often, ” replied Ralph, unwillingly.
nyp.33433074940952	I hope he wo n't keep it waiting. ” “ You are not going away, are you? ” “ Not for three days more. ” “ Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
nyp.33433074940952	I only came to ask — ” “ To ask? ” repeated Charles, who had got up as she was standing, and came and stood near her.
nyp.33433074940952	I remember him very slim and elegant- looking; but I suppose he is quite elderly now, and has lost his figure?
nyp.33433074940952	I say, Jervis, ” calling after him, “ any particulars about the accident?
nyp.33433074940952	I say, ” he added, quickly, “ how about yours?
nyp.33433074940952	I say, ” he added, suddenly, “ you would not care to see them, would you?
nyp.33433074940952	I suppose”—to Ralph and Evelyn—“you are going to Greenacre with Aunt Mary Tell her I have gone to church, will you?
nyp.33433074940952	I think the headache will be better now, eh? ” He nodded kindly to her, and closed the door again.
nyp.33433074940952	I was late as it was. ” “ Is that all? ” said Charles, who had been listening intently.
nyp.33433074940952	I wonder what time it is?
nyp.33433074940952	I, on my side, might ask what you were doing walking about the passages in your socks at four o'clock this morning?
nyp.33433074940952	Is he dead? ” The man shook his head.
nyp.33433074940952	Is he worse? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433074940952	It suits us, but it is different for young people. ” “ Does it suit you? ” asked Ruth, with sudden earnestness.
nyp.33433074940952	It was kindly, amiable, pleasant; but was it strong?
nyp.33433074940952	It was sweet to see her read to Molly; but did she never take up a book or a paper?
nyp.33433074940952	Let us start at once. ”- “ Could not the station- master send us down on an engine? ” asked Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	Might he accompany her?
nyp.33433074940952	Molly, have you got your penny?
nyp.33433074940952	Molly, what is a fool? ” “ I think it's Raca, only worse, ” said Molly.
nyp.33433074940952	No 2 Well, then, for what?
nyp.33433074940952	Now then, Molly, have you got your prayer- book?
nyp.33433074940952	Oh, Cousin Ruth, what shall we do? ” Ruth hesitated.
nyp.33433074940952	Out of them all, which was it? ” “ Carr"replied Charles, quietly, looking full at his father.
nyp.33433074940952	Perhaps Mr. Dare might like to put a little of his private fortune into the cot- tages and the drains and the new pumps?
nyp.33433074940952	Put the string round your neck, and wear that bag under your clothes night and day. ” “ At night as well? ” he asked, anxiously.
nyp.33433074940952	Rather brown, is n't it, on one side?
nyp.33433074940952	Ruth"—with great solemnity—“do you love him even as he loves you? ” 20 SIR CHARLES DANVERS.
nyp.33433074940952	Serious? ” “ Oh dear no, sir, not to my knowledge.
nyp.33433074940952	Should he arrive in time to hear it?
nyp.33433074940952	Should he arrive in time?
nyp.33433074940952	Should they look at the pictures first — now — no time like the present?
nyp.33433074940952	So you were the kind man, name unknown, who took such care of Anna and me?
nyp.33433074940952	Such a sweet creat- urel"“ Is she going to act? ” “ Yes, ” I replied.
nyp.33433074940952	Surely you have not forgotten that? ” Ruth began to smile.
nyp.33433074940952	The houses were bad?
nyp.33433074940952	Then Evelyn came on — But who cares to read a description of a play?
nyp.33433074940952	There will be no trains running till later in the day, I am afraid. ” “ The night express? ” said Ralph, suddenly.
nyp.33433074940952	They would say no more — but would the new squire walk up- stairs?
nyp.33433074940952	Uncle Charles, what do you think?
nyp.33433074940952	Used she, in the palmy days that were no more( when she was not Ralph's wife), so mildly but so firmly to adhere to a pre- conceived opinion?
nyp.33433074940952	Was Mr. Carr one of Lord Barrantyne's sons, or was he one of the Crampshire Carrs?
nyp.33433074940952	Was it possible to recall him to himself even yet?
nyp.33433074940952	Was not Kensington — was that the name of the street?—rather out of the world?
nyp.33433074940952	Was not the little Molly of the school- feast their child?
nyp.33433074940952	Was she never going to put self on one side?
nyp.33433074940952	Was she young and lovely, or was she getting on?
nyp.33433074940952	Was some- thing troubling her?
nyp.33433074940952	We have been dress- ing dolls morning, noon, and night. ” “ When is it to be, this school- feast? ” said Dare, eagerly.
nyp.33433074940952	Well, what then?
nyp.33433074940952	What business had he to come down to tea in that absurd amber plush smoking- suit, just because the elder ladies had begged to see it?
nyp.33433074940952	What can be finer than Sep- tember when she is in a good- humor?
nyp.33433074940952	What concern were they of hers?
nyp.33433074940952	What could Charles have been after?
nyp.33433074940952	What did it matter?
nyp.33433074940952	What does it matter if you can get over best by assuming a masculine equestrian attitude for a moment on the top bar?
nyp.33433074940952	What does it matter, now I'm dying? ” he said.
nyp.33433074940952	What follows?
nyp.33433074940952	What had they to do with her?
nyp.33433074940952	What have I done since I met you first, three months ago, to justify you in holding me in contempt? ” SIR CHARLES DANVERS.
nyp.33433074940952	What have you to wear?
nyp.33433074940952	What mattered it for the moment whether the pump was put up or not, or whether the cottages by the river were protected from the floods?
nyp.33433074940952	What on earth is the meaning of it all? ” said young Dickson, below his breath.
nyp.33433074940952	What was coming?
nyp.33433074940952	What was it, after all, but a suppres- sion of truth — a kind of lie?
nyp.33433074940952	What was she holding back for?
nyp.33433074940952	What was the good of being in love, of having in view a social aim of such a praiseworthy nature, if no one were aware of the same?
nyp.33433074940952	What were the others doing?
nyp.33433074940952	What were you doing when Middleton saw you? ” 56 THE DANVERS JEWELS.
nyp.33433074940952	When was that? ” “ At the school- feast.
nyp.33433074940952	Where does it all go to?
nyp.33433074940952	Which are you going to, Charles? ” “ I am going where Molly goes.
nyp.33433074940952	Which of them all could have done a thing like that?
nyp.33433074940952	Who has, said that light eyes can not be impassioned?
nyp.33433074940952	Who is it?
nyp.33433074940952	Who was to do it?
nyp.33433074940952	Who, excepting Carr, was a stranger among us?
nyp.33433074940952	Whom do you naturally suspect? ” I could not tell her that I more than suspected Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	Why, you ai n't never going yet?
nyp.33433074940952	Wo n't the other gentleman, ” turning to Mr. Al- wynn, “ come and warm himself?
nyp.33433074940952	Worse, was he Dying?
nyp.33433074940952	Would Miss Deyncourt sing?

nyp.33433074940952	Would the new broom sweep clean?
nyp.33433074940952	Would there ever be any news of Raymond?
nyp.33433074940952	Would you believe it?
nyp.33433074940952	Would you know him again if the policeman succeeds in finding him? ” “ No; I never looked round.
nyp.33433074940952	You are going to your uncle in Dublin, are not you?
nyp.33433074940952	You had never, I believe, any intention of acquiring what in law we call an Ameri- can domicil?
nyp.33433074940952	You must stay the night, now you are here; must n't he, Fanny? ” Dare was delighted — beaming.
nyp.33433074940952	You will not say anything to her till I come back, till I return with proof that I am free, as I told her?
nyp.33433074940952	You will say nothing? ”- Dare had pulled up at the bottom of the drive to the rectory.
nyp.33433074940952	You would hardly have seen him at all since you landed, then? ” “ Carr?
nyp.33433074940952	You would hardly have seen him at all since you landed, then? ” “ Carr?
nyp.33433074940952	and how are Mrs. Danvers and Lady Mary'and is any one else staying there?
nyp.33433074940952	and, my dear, are the dolls finished? ” “ They are, ” said Ruth.
nyp.33433074940952	are n't they? ” the old man chuckled, passing his wasted hands over them.

nyp.33433074940952	he went to — was it America?

nyp.33433074940952	with her for long?
nyp.33433074940952	you do n't wish it rubbed any more?

nyp.33433074940952	{{ Yes. ” “ And do you know that I am suspected? ” “ You, Charles?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Ah! ” said Dare, perceiving him, “ and she- the – is she gone? ” “ Yes, half an hour ago.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Am I?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Am I? ” said Charles, half aloud to himself, when the last fold of her garment had been twitched out of sight through the window.
nyp.33433074940952	“ And how are the guinea- pigs? ” asked Charles, putting down his cup.
nyp.33433074940952	“ And that tiresome letter — did it want an answer? ” “ None, ” said Ruth, crushing it up unconsciously.
nyp.33433074940952	“ And the ‘ Cold Blast ’? ” asked Dare, immediately afterwards.
nyp.33433074940952	“ And where is Aurelia? ” asked Ralph.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Any news of Master Raymond? ” It was with a tired ache of the heart that Ruth heard that question, and always gave the same answer.
nyp.33433074940952	“ At Atherstone, is he?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Better? ” asked Charles's voice.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Bother! ” he said again, looking round and swinging the bag; “ what on earth am I to do with them?
nyp.33433074940952	“ But where? ” He was simpler than even I could have believed.
nyp.33433074940952	“ But — I know I am not supposed to — but I know what hap- pened last night; Aurelia told me. ” “ It is very sad, is n't it? ” I said.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Can you show me where I am? ” “ I am afraid you are not in the house at all, ” I said.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Come, my boy, we are losing time. ” “ Will somebody have the goodness to restrain Middleton if he gets excited? ” said Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Cousin Ruth, there's something creeping among the trees – do n't you hear it?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Do n't you know that Carr slept with me down at the lodge? ” Charles turned on his brother and gripped his shoulder.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Do you know why I am glad? ” I said I could not imagine.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Do you know, Uncle Charles, Ninny's sister with the wart on her cheek has been to tea?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Do you really like it, or do you sometimes get tired of it? ” Mr. Alwynn looked a little alarmed and disconcerted.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Do you think he would come? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Does n't he, Ralph? ” “ Does n't he? ” replied Ralph, hot but good- humored.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Does n't he, Ralph? ” “ Does n't he? ” replied Ralph, hot but good- humored.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Have all come back by this train? ” Charles asked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Have n't you heard about — Sir John — last night? ” “ Dead? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Have n't you heard about — Sir John — last night? ” “ Dead? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Have you been gone long?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Have you had bad letters? ” said Evelyn, in a low voice.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Have you seen Ralph anywhere? ” asked Aurelia, when she had finished it.
nyp.33433074940952	“ He is engaged to his cousin, Miss Derrick, is n't he? ” said a lady near me, in a loud whisper to a friend.
nyp.33433074940952	“ How could I expect that you should remember all at once?
nyp.33433074940952	“ How did he meet her? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433074940952	“ How far is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ I wonder, now, ” interposed Ruth, quietly, “ how the rheumatism is getting on?
nyp.33433074940952	“ I wonder, ” said Charles to himself, “ why people ca n't allow me to manage my own affairs?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Is he?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Is it about what happened last night? ” he asked, in a tone that was kind, but that evidently intended to have an answer.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Is it rheumatism again? ” she asked, as Mrs. Eccles seemed in clined to run off at once into a report of the goings on of Widow Jones's Sally.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Is this a forgery, Dare? ” he asked, holding it towards him.
nyp.33433074940952	“ It is a very cross journey, is n't it?
nyp.33433074940952	“ It's a pity to trouble her, is n't it? ” said Raymond, his shrewd eyes watching him; “ and women are best out of money- matters.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Just the first cool time of the day. ” “ Is it? ” said Ruth, still rather pink with her late exertions.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Kind to Miss Deyncourt, was he? ” “ Yes; and when we went away he ran and opened the gate for us.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Might any of you gentlemen be going to London, sir? ” he in- quired.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Miss Deyncourt, will she be there? ” asked Dare.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Now where would you advise me to keep them? ” “ On you, ” I said, significantly.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Raymond, ” he said, in a low distinct voice, “ what is it you wish to say?
nyp.33433074940952	“ See, Charles?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Shall we wait and tell them that story, Uncle Charles? ” “ No, Molly.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Tell me who some of the people are, will you? ” he went on.
nyp.33433074940952	“ The fact is — did not Sir George tell you? ” And then I explained.
nyp.33433074940952	“ To Mr. Dare. ” “ Not that man who has come to live at Wandon? ” 44 Yes. ” Another long silence.

nyp.33433074940952	“ Twenty miles, sir. ” “ Are the roads practicable? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Was that punch? ” said Dare.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Well, my dear, and did ye ever see the like of that?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Well? ” she said, gently; and he felt her cool, passive hands tremble a little in his.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Well? ” she said, pressing her hands together, and speaking in a low voice.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What are they estimated at? ” he asked, as I did not answer.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What is awful? ”- “ Do n’t you know? ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What is awful? ”- “ Do n’t you know? ” he replied.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What is it? ” I hurriedly asked a baker's boy, who was stand.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What on earth do you mean by going off in that way? ” he asked, coldly.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What was he looking for? ” continued Dickson, walking up and down.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What was the thief after? ” In a moment the truth flashed across my brain.
nyp.33433074940952	“ What's a year's absence?
nyp.33433074940952	“ What's incompatibility? ” he said.
nyp.33433074940952	“ When was it? ” “ Ten days ago. ” “ Ten days ago, ” repeated Charles, mechanically, and his face worked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Where is Charles? ” he asked a second time, in the same tone.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Where is Charles? ” he said, speaking in a hoarse whisper.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Where is Miss Deyncourt? ” “ She went off to Slumberleigh some time ago.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Where is Molly? ” “ She is all right, ” said Charles, hastily, applying the pocket- hand- kerchief again.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Who is that tall man with the fair mustache?
nyp.33433074940952	“ Why, Ruth, ” she said, actually noticing the alteration in her ap- pearance, “ is your head bad again? ” Ruth started violently.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Will he do it? ” said Ruth to herself, when she was alone.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Will you? ” There was a moment's pause, in which the whole world seemed to stand quite still and wait for her answer.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Will you? ” he whispered, breathlessly, his hands tightening their hold of hers.
nyp.33433074940952	“ Would you like to see your sister? ” asked Charles; but Ray- mond shook his head with feeble decision.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You also sing duets?
nyp.33433074940952	“ You also sing, Miss Deyncourt? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You do look beautiful to- night, Uncle Charles. ” “ Do I? ” without elation.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You do n't mean to say the wretched passengers have been there all night? ” exclaimed Charles.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You do n't mind? ” I said, astonished.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You go to England to- morrow? ” he asked, sharply.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You observe that I am here? ” he said.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You quite understand, Ruth, though I have not mentioned it so far, that you are engaged to marry me? ” “ I do.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You wo n't mind singing, will you, Ruth? ” asked Mr. Alwynn, wishing she would show a little more interest in Dare and his con- Cert.
nyp.33433074940952	“ You're not nervous, are you? ” I said, taking him aside when tea 38 THE DANVERS JEWELS.

nyp.33433074828959	Are you sick, sir?
nyp.33433074828959	As an impartial judge,Sam said as he arose,"who do you think did it?"
nyp.33433074828959	At what time?

nyp.33433074828959	Can you tell me just why you have this five minutes, between a quarter past and twenty, fixed in your mind?
nyp.33433074828959	Can you tell me the most direct route to Cotesville, Pennsyl- vania? nyp.33433074828959 Can you tell me what they mean?

nyp.33433074828959	Did Judge Torrance tell you the nature of the business he had with you?
nyp.33433074828959	Did Miss Torrance or her father say anything as they left the room?

nyp.33433074828959	Did n't you try to locate the cry?
nyp.33433074828959	Did she go out without first getting a hat or coat?
nyp.33433074828959	Did that not occur to you as strange?
nyp.33433074828959	Did this Bronson ever work for Torrance?

nyp.33433074828959	Do n't you know how serious this might have been?
nyp.33433074828959	Do n't you think it was a little strange, his keeping it all those years?
nyp.33433074828959	Do n't you think they're barking up the wrong tree now?

nyp.33433074828959	Do you want me to tell you?
nyp.33433074828959	Does he by any chance walk in his sleep?
nyp.33433074828959	For Heaven's sake, Mr. Lane,he said when he could find words,"what is the matter?
nyp.33433074828959	For what?

nyp.33433074828959	Miss Tor- rance was known to you by hearsay, perhaps?
nyp.33433074828959	No cry of any sort?
nyp.33433074828959	Nora told you about the rest of it? nyp.33433074828959 Nora, what was that shriek I heard just now?"
nyp.33433074828959	Oh, you saw Mr. Lane in the afternoon?
nyp.33433074828959	Rather a mixed- up affair, is n't it?
nyp.33433074828959	Robert Jameson?
nyp.33433074828959	Sam, what were you told, that you came to ask about last night?
nyp.33433074828959	Sarah, where were you when Mr. Forrest called you?
nyp.33433074828959	She did n't tell you her name, or try to iden- tify herself in any way when you detained her?
nyp.33433074828959	She's at her grandmother's, is n't she?
nyp.33433074828959	Shriek, sir?
nyp.33433074828959	Tell me this, at least: What do you make of that cry?
nyp.33433074828959	That is where, exactly?
nyp.33433074828959	Then?
nyp.33433074828959	There is n't a madhouse in the THE MURDER 45 neighborhood, is there? nyp.33433074828959 This I assume is the envelop,"and read slowly: “ Zanzibar,'is it not?"
nyp.33433074828959	This box is as you found it?
nyp.33433074828959	Was I brought down here to find the murderer, or to fool around for effect? nyp.33433074828959 Was he alone?"
nyp.33433074828959	Was it natural, do you think, for a young woman to do such a thing? nyp.33433074828959 Was it possible that what the secretary had struggled so des- perately, as he had thought, to hide, was no secret, after all?
nyp.33433074828959	Was n't it Forrest who told the old Judge that Billy was in love with Audrey? ” “ Yes, ” said Nora, “ it was that. nyp.33433074828959 Was there any reason why you did not go out to see what it was?"
nyp.33433074828959	Well, did n't you?
nyp.33433074828959	Well, what is it?
nyp.33433074828959	Well, what is your version of this disappear- ance?
nyp.33433074828959	Well?
nyp.33433074828959	Were you calling me?
nyp.33433074828959	Were you not surprised to see her do this?
nyp.33433074828959	What are you doing out this way, a night like this?
nyp.33433074828959	What are you getting at?
nyp.33433074828959	What can I say to you now, when I owe you my very freedom? nyp.33433074828959 What could that cry have been?
nyp.33433074828959	What did that fellow want?
nyp.33433074828959	What did you do when you left the table?
nyp.33433074828959	What do you do to people, anyway,he asked jokingly,"to corner all this devotion?"
nyp.33433074828959	What do you make of it all?
nyp.33433074828959	What do you mean when you say he had few friends?
nyp.33433074828959	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074828959	What do you want me to make of all this?
nyp.33433074828959	What happened then?
nyp.33433074828959	What in particular do you want to know? nyp.33433074828959 What in the devil did that fellow mean?"
nyp.33433074828959	What is it?
nyp.33433074828959	What is it?
nyp.33433074828959	What is the matter?
nyp.33433074828959	What is what?
nyp.33433074828959	What is your impression? nyp.33433074828959 What is your impression?"
nyp.33433074828959	What sort of knife did it contain?
nyp.33433074828959	What time on that night?
nyp.33433074828959	What was Mr. Forrest doing when you came down?
nyp.33433074828959	What was he doing at that time?
nyp.33433074828959	What was he doing?
nyp.33433074828959	What was it?
nyp.33433074828959	What was the date of Fellowes's conviction?
nyp.33433074828959	What was the first thing you heard?
nyp.33433074828959	What was the matter with him?
nyp.33433074828959	What was your reason for denying it, Mr. Forrest? nyp.33433074828959 What were you doing at seven o'clock?"
nyp.33433074828959	What were your duties last night?
nyp.33433074828959	What's Blake doing now, by the way?
nyp.33433074828959	What's become of Jameson?
nyp.33433074828959	What's on the other side?
nyp.33433074828959	What's on your mind?
nyp.33433074828959	What's that?
nyp.33433074828959	What's up? nyp.33433074828959 What, for instance, was discussed last night?"
nyp.33433074828959	When did Miss Torrance come in?
nyp.33433074828959	When did she return after running out- of- doors?
nyp.33433074828959	When did you have it last?
nyp.33433074828959	When did you look there?
nyp.33433074828959	When did you put it there?
nyp.33433074828959	When do you remember seeing it there last?
nyp.33433074828959	When do you think Warren will get here?
nyp.33433074828959	When does the next train leave for New York?
nyp.33433074828959	When?
nyp.33433074828959	Where be yer goin'?
nyp.33433074828959	Where did she come from? nyp.33433074828959 Where did you get it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you keep it?
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you phone me from?
nyp.33433074828959	Where do you suppose she went?
nyp.33433074828959	Where does all this lead to?
nyp.33433074828959	Where is he, do you think?
nyp.33433074828959	Where is her room?
nyp.33433074828959	Where is she? nyp.33433074828959 Where is the knife?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where were you bound for last night, and why?
nyp.33433074828959	Where were you, Mary, when Mr. Forrest discovered the body? ”I was upstairs, sir, ” she answered apologeti- cally.
nyp.33433074828959	Where's Warren?
nyp.33433074828959	Where's everybody?
nyp.33433074828959	Where's the near- est telephone?
nyp.33433074828959	Which one fits the box?
nyp.33433074828959	While you were in the library with your father, did he call up his lawyer as he had planned?
nyp.33433074828959	Who are you and what do you want?
nyp.33433074828959	Who are you looking for?
nyp.33433074828959	Who else testified to it?
nyp.33433074828959	Who else was there?
nyp.33433074828959	Who is it?
nyp.33433074828959	Who's the other party?
nyp.33433074828959	Why did you not call Miss Torrance?
nyp.33433074828959	Why do n't you ask me what you did to me?
nyp.33433074828959	Why do you suppose she ran away?
nyp.33433074828959	Why not? nyp.33433074828959 Why should they ask me?
nyp.33433074828959	Why the devil did n't you say all this then?
nyp.33433074828959	Why?
nyp.33433074828959	Why?
nyp.33433074828959	Will you answer me one question truth- fully?
nyp.33433074828959	Will you be kinder than the rest?
nyp.33433074828959	Will you be wanting anything more to- night, child? nyp.33433074828959 Will you state, please, her answer?"
nyp.33433074828959	Will you take down notes of whatever she may say?
nyp.33433074828959	Will you think carefully a moment and see if you can remember any incident that would fix the time in your mind?
nyp.33433074828959	With the hope that it will not be found. ” “ What did the package that you hid contain? ” And the tone was adamant. nyp.33433074828959 Wo n't you sit down?"
nyp.33433074828959	Would you be willing to take a great risk for her?
nyp.33433074828959	Would you mind telling me where you got it and when?
nyp.33433074828959	Would you please tell us what you were dis- cussing with your father at dinner?
nyp.33433074828959	Yes, I am, and you —a pause—"are Miss Torrance, are n't you?"
nyp.33433074828959	Yes?
nyp.33433074828959	Yet — suppose she had?
nyp.33433074828959	You admit, then, that you told a falsehood?
nyp.33433074828959	You are sure you did not destroy it? ” he asked quietly. nyp.33433074828959 You are willing to let that statement stand?"
nyp.33433074828959	You attach importance to this?
nyp.33433074828959	You care for him?
nyp.33433074828959	You do n't know whether or not the daughter knew this Fellowes, do you?
nyp.33433074828959	You do n't think he was out there, do you?
nyp.33433074828959	You do n't think so?
nyp.33433074828959	You do not think it of Miss Torrance, do you?
nyp.33433074828959	You heard it, then, the night before, also?
nyp.33433074828959	You heard it?
nyp.33433074828959	You heard what was said?
nyp.33433074828959	You know what it means if you are caught?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean different from the search for Miss Torrance?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean she was a decoy?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean there is in your mind a difference between what I've said and what I think?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean to tell me that you were sitting at the same table with two people, and do not recall what they were talking about?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean you have nothing to tell me of your own accord about last night?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean you refuse to say?
nyp.33433074828959	You mean?
nyp.33433074828959	You met her by appointment?
nyp.33433074828959	You met him last night outside, also?
nyp.33433074828959	You met, then, between your houses?
nyp.33433074828959	You remember me, do n't you?
nyp.33433074828959	You remember this bit of evidence, huh? nyp.33433074828959 You saw him, you say?"
nyp.33433074828959	You saw no one in the room while you were here?
nyp.33433074828959	You say you came out directly?
nyp.33433074828959	You were going out?
nyp.33433074828959	You were not surprised to see her without a coat on such a night?
nyp.33433074828959	You will not forget to look on the path for what I told you I had lost?
nyp.33433074828959	You wish us to gather, then, that your anxiety was such that you could not wait to use the knife to open this particular letter?
nyp.33433074828959	You wo n't be offended?
nyp.33433074828959	You wo n't hurt him, Sam? nyp.33433074828959 You wo n't let it make any difference, sir?"
nyp.33433074828959	You wo n't tell me what you heard about Nora and Thomas and me, even when I ask you nice- ly?
nyp.33433074828959	You'11 excuse me? nyp.33433074828959 You're positive she took the south- bound?"
nyp.33433074828959	You?
nyp.33433074828959	Your father was thoroughly recovered then?
nyp.33433074828959	'How long have you been here?-You were related to the Judge, were n't you?—What kind of work did you do for him? — Did you like him?
nyp.33433074828959	'How long have you been here?-You were related to the Judge, were n't you?—What kind of work did you do for him? — Did you like him?
nyp.33433074828959	164 WITHIN FOUR WALLS"None of them?"
nyp.33433074828959	167 168 WITHIN FOUR WALLS Dared he go and determine this for himself?
nyp.33433074828959	184 WITHIN FOUR WALLS"Is Mr. Lane in?"
nyp.33433074828959	244 WITHIN FOUR WALLS"Why not?
nyp.33433074828959	52 WITHIN FOUR WALLS"What was she doing?
nyp.33433074828959	60 WITHIN FOUR WALLS"Where were you at seven- thirty when the alarm was given?"
nyp.33433074828959	62 WITHIN FOUR WALLS"Tell me if you noticed anything peculiar in word, tone, or glance as you waited on the table?"
nyp.33433074828959	8 THE CRY IN THE NIGHT 9"Who is she?"
nyp.33433074828959	< rWhere did you get it?"
nyp.33433074828959	ANOTHER MAN 179"Was the letter that you lost — the letter from Zanzibar — from him?"
nyp.33433074828959	Am I 130 THE KNIFE 131 right?"
nyp.33433074828959	And do n't you recall Forrest's say- ing at the inquest that he was leaving in the morning?"
nyp.33433074828959	And if she did would it work?
nyp.33433074828959	And then, as a sudden thought:"Is Miss Torrance at home?"
nyp.33433074828959	And was this the reason that he was being watched so guardedly?
nyp.33433074828959	And would n't my going away with you secretly, our living like fugitives, skulking and hiding in far- off places, seem guilty?
nyp.33433074828959	Any- thing else?"
nyp.33433074828959	Any- thing happened?"
nyp.33433074828959	Are they on the level with me, or making a dupe of me?
nyp.33433074828959	Are you going to the inquest to- day?"
nyp.33433074828959	Are you ill?"
nyp.33433074828959	Are you sure there was nothing else that made you desirous of making a change?"
nyp.33433074828959	As Dr. Birdsall was leaving he came over to them:"Lane, do you remember that cry that you heard two or three times, and that puzzled you so?"
nyp.33433074828959	Birdsall?"
nyp.33433074828959	But Lane?
nyp.33433074828959	But then I'd had to fire a lot of them, so it was n't strange. ” “ Do you know any one named J. Bronson? ” continued Sam.
nyp.33433074828959	But what do you want to know all this for?"
nyp.33433074828959	But why?
nyp.33433074828959	CHAPTER XXXIX THE AFTERMATH N o you remember the little verse you quoted to me last night? ” Sam asked Audrey as he followed her into the hall.
nyp.33433074828959	CRUIKSHANK& BLAKE 243"But where could she have gone?"
nyp.33433074828959	Ca n't you THE PATH TO THE WOODS 29 tell me anything?
nyp.33433074828959	Ca n't you believe in me still?
nyp.33433074828959	Ca n't you say anything to assist me?
nyp.33433074828959	Can I do anything for you, sir?"
nyp.33433074828959	Could he have dreamed it?
nyp.33433074828959	Could it be pos- sible that there was something other than friend- ship there?
nyp.33433074828959	Could it be possible that she did care, after all?
nyp.33433074828959	Did he think that he, Harry Forrest, would give himself away like a blundering fool?
nyp.33433074828959	Did n't he run upstairs before the coroner ar- rived to'get things ship- shape,'to use his own words?
nyp.33433074828959	Did she sleep well?"
nyp.33433074828959	Did she tell you what she had found? ” “ No,"Thomas replied, “ but I gathered it was serious.
nyp.33433074828959	Did you hide it on the path?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do I have to go by way of New York?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do n't you remember it was my knife they found?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do you get my point?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do you hear? ” Sam was mystified, but he assented.
nyp.33433074828959	Do you know any one about Miss Audrey's size, who, wearing her clothes and heavily veiled, could pass for her?
nyp.33433074828959	Do you know him?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do you know where this Fellowes is?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do you notice the small horseshoe in the middle of the heel?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do you see anything queer about those en- dorsements?"
nyp.33433074828959	Do you think, Sam, that he could have done this thing?"
nyp.33433074828959	Does he walk in his sleep?
nyp.33433074828959	Does the name suggest anything to you?"
nyp.33433074828959	Dr. Birdsall broke the silence:"Mr. Forrest, will you please come forward?
nyp.33433074828959	EXIT HENRY BLAKE 147"Did you see her face?"
nyp.33433074828959	FROM THE LIPS OF THE DEAD 279"You could swear that he said it was seven- twenty?"
nyp.33433074828959	Forrest, did you wrap up the package that you concealed on this particular night? ” “ I did not. ” “ Why did you hide it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Forrest, did you wrap up the package that you concealed on this particular night? ” “ I did not. ” “ Why did you hide it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Had he allied himself with Birdsall, Blake, and the others?
nyp.33433074828959	Had he been misled by the feeling of distrust he thought she had felt for Forrest?
nyp.33433074828959	Had he not, after all, done that very thing?
nyp.33433074828959	Had she been taken?
nyp.33433074828959	Had she gone away?
nyp.33433074828959	Had she reached it?
nyp.33433074828959	Had she run out because of that cry?
nyp.33433074828959	Had she tried to reach the island again after he had gone, and had Blake or some of his asso- ciates trapped her there and taken her prisoner?
nyp.33433074828959	Have n't you formed any?"
nyp.33433074828959	Have you asked Forrest about it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Have you nothing to say? ” For a moment his anger wavered and broke in an appeal.
nyp.33433074828959	He might dismiss this old couple, but could he?
nyp.33433074828959	He's been lyin'there for over a week. ” “ Have you a telephone? ” She nodded and opened the door and he hur- ried in and called up Ward.
nyp.33433074828959	Henry Blake threw an open telegram on the desk:"What do you make of that?"
nyp.33433074828959	His attitude, for a judge, I might say, was not always impartial. ” “ But specifically,"the coroner said quickly,"do you know of any one? ”"No.
nyp.33433074828959	His gaze met the old woman's and then slipped past it, as he said in a voice he tried to make casual:"He called her'Donnie,'did n't he?"
nyp.33433074828959	How am I going to help you?"
nyp.33433074828959	How could he meet this new attack?
nyp.33433074828959	How do you account for that cry? ”"Do n't think it had anything to do with it.
nyp.33433074828959	How long has this window been open?"
nyp.33433074828959	How would she greet him to- day?
nyp.33433074828959	However, when she did not answer him, he continued:"Can you at least answer some questions?"
nyp.33433074828959	I can, ca n't I?"
nyp.33433074828959	I guess you have n't any doubts now, have you? ”'to Sam.
nyp.33433074828959	I know she came here, do n't I?
nyp.33433074828959	I mean anything shedding light on a different theory from the one they're working on now?"
nyp.33433074828959	I was locking up for the night. ”"Did you see any one pass in or out through the kitchen? ”"No, sir."
nyp.33433074828959	If Fellowes did n't com- mit this crime, who did?"
nyp.33433074828959	If you want me to get to the bot- tom of this thing, you've got to give me free rein, see?"
nyp.33433074828959	Is it fair?"
nyp.33433074828959	Is it over? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074828959	Is that the answer to all this?"
nyp.33433074828959	It came from a dis- tance?"
nyp.33433074828959	It is yours, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Lane?"
nyp.33433074828959	Lane?"
nyp.33433074828959	MARY'S TESTIMONY 55"Did they — do they suspect any one?"
nyp.33433074828959	Oh, if you love me, ca n't you wait?
nyp.33433074828959	Or is it my- self?"
nyp.33433074828959	Or was it his fancy?
nyp.33433074828959	Or was it just a"sporting chance,"as he had said?
nyp.33433074828959	Perhaps — alll CHAPTER XXVIII A MEMORANDUM LEAF IS Miss Audrey up yet, Nora?"
nyp.33433074828959	READING THE WILL 73"Mr. Lane, how long have you known Miss Torrance?"
nyp.33433074828959	Sam veered from the subject:"Then you have definitely dropped the Fellowes end of it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Sam, do you think she will live? ”"No; I do n't believe Birdsall thinks so, either.
nyp.33433074828959	Some one you could trust absolutely?"
nyp.33433074828959	Suddenly serious:"Is it true that they suspect Torrance's daughter, and that she dis- appeared last night?"
nyp.33433074828959	Suppose this mystery holds and this murderer, whoever it may be, is not found: sha’n’t I remain under suspicion?
nyp.33433074828959	Tell me, Audrey, did you know he was hiding in my house then? ” “ No, Sam.
nyp.33433074828959	The coroner broke the silence that followed the reading:"Mr. Jameson, did Judge Torrance intimate to you that he was considering chang- ing his will?"
nyp.33433074828959	Then the coroner resumed:"Was Miss Torrance alone with her father at dinner?"
nyp.33433074828959	Then with a complete change of manner that had a touch of nervousness in it,"Do you know if Blake is returning here to- night?"
nyp.33433074828959	This letter from Zanzibar?
nyp.33433074828959	Trust me, ca n't you?"
nyp.33433074828959	Was he not doing it after all?
nyp.33433074828959	Was he sure of any duplicity on their part?
nyp.33433074828959	Was he sure of anything?
nyp.33433074828959	Was he there?
nyp.33433074828959	Was it devotion or caution that prompted the request?
nyp.33433074828959	Was it hers?
nyp.33433074828959	Was it in Java?
nyp.33433074828959	Was it the knife?"
nyp.33433074828959	Was n't that the sound of a window being cautiously raised?
nyp.33433074828959	Was she trying to spare him also?
nyp.33433074828959	Was that cry the man's, too?
nyp.33433074828959	Was that it?
nyp.33433074828959	Was this new light in her eyes what he hoped?
nyp.33433074828959	Well, anyway, they got a conviction against him, but he got away. ”"Did you suspect any one? ” Sam asked.
nyp.33433074828959	Well, what had he done?
nyp.33433074828959	Were you in the house?"
nyp.33433074828959	Were you not frightened?"
nyp.33433074828959	What can I get you?"
nyp.33433074828959	What could he do to be of help to her?
nyp.33433074828959	What could it have been about?
nyp.33433074828959	What could it mean?"
nyp.33433074828959	What could she do if this dread were realized?
nyp.33433074828959	What could that shriek in the darkness have meant?
nyp.33433074828959	What did it sound like?"
nyp.33433074828959	What did the message mean?
nyp.33433074828959	What did you ever see in me to love,—you with the world at your feet?
nyp.33433074828959	What do you make of it? ” Forrest examined it as carefully as Sam form- erly had done.
nyp.33433074828959	What do you make of it?"
nyp.33433074828959	What do you make of this business, any- way?"
nyp.33433074828959	What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074828959	What do you want?"
nyp.33433074828959	What had he done?
nyp.33433074828959	What had the telephone message meant?
nyp.33433074828959	What is all this, any- way?
nyp.33433074828959	What is their history?"
nyp.33433074828959	What meaning had been hidden behind Sam Lane's words,"I agree with you absolutely in what you think"?
nyp.33433074828959	What possible reason could she have for this silence?
nyp.33433074828959	What should he do?
nyp.33433074828959	What was his con- nection with Forrest?
nyp.33433074828959	What was it?"
nyp.33433074828959	What was she doing?"
nyp.33433074828959	What was the connection among the three?
nyp.33433074828959	What was the nature of them?"
nyp.33433074828959	What would she do?
nyp.33433074828959	What would she have to say?
nyp.33433074828959	What would you have me say?"
nyp.33433074828959	What's on your mind?"
nyp.33433074828959	What's the matter, anyway?"
nyp.33433074828959	What's the matter?
nyp.33433074828959	When she had finished, he turned back to the secretary:"Mr. Forrest, what have you to say?"
nyp.33433074828959	When the two men were left alone Sam turned quickly to Forrest:"What did this fellow Blake ask about Miss Torrance?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where did my uncle find them?
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you find it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you get that robe?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you hear it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you meet Miss Torrance?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where did you say you got them?"
nyp.33433074828959	Where had he heard something like it before?
nyp.33433074828959	Where had he seen it before?
nyp.33433074828959	Where was Warren's man?"
nyp.33433074828959	Which way did she go? ” “ I did n't notice.
nyp.33433074828959	Who is her grandmother?"
nyp.33433074828959	Who was Billy Fellowes?
nyp.33433074828959	Who was it?
nyp.33433074828959	Who would n't, stuck in the house all day under these conditions?"
nyp.33433074828959	Who?"
nyp.33433074828959	Whom do you think the guilt points to?"
nyp.33433074828959	Why did n't you say something about it?"
nyp.33433074828959	Why do n't you wire her description to Birdsall?"
nyp.33433074828959	Why had Lane come here to- day?
nyp.33433074828959	Why had n't he had the frank talk with her that she had desired?
nyp.33433074828959	Why had the latter hid- den this letter?
nyp.33433074828959	Why was this an exception?
nyp.33433074828959	Why?
nyp.33433074828959	Why? ” Sam drew the old check from his wallet and held it to him.
nyp.33433074828959	Why? ” “ Well, he's the fellow that robbed you, ” Sam said quietly.
nyp.33433074828959	Why?"
nyp.33433074828959	Why?"
nyp.33433074828959	Will some one rustle a few more chairs here?"
nyp.33433074828959	Will you promise me that? ” She gave him a quick little hug, adorable in its honesty.
nyp.33433074828959	Wo n't you tell me every- thing about everything?"
nyp.33433074828959	Would life in its pathos or joy ever hold for him anything that would entirely blot out those years?
nyp.33433074828959	Would she do as he asked?
nyp.33433074828959	Would she impersonate Kate?
nyp.33433074828959	Would you care to come along?
nyp.33433074828959	Would you mind casting your eyes over these again?
nyp.33433074828959	You can feel sorry for a fool. ” “ What's the matter?"
nyp.33433074828959	You had closed this place, so I held them for the inquest. ” “ Why did n't you give them to me last night?"
nyp.33433074828959	You know the night I looked for that letter for you?"
nyp.33433074828959	You met Miss Torrance outside at what time?"
nyp.33433074828959	You remember how he shook the torn envelop in your face in the study?
nyp.33433074828959	You see that, do n't you? ” Before he could speak, Mary was at the door.
nyp.33433074828959	You wanted to see me about something?"
nyp.33433074828959	You wo n't do anything foolish while I'm gone?
nyp.33433074828959	You wo n't track him and betray him?
nyp.33433074828959	he said half aloud,"and tell me what you know?
nyp.33433074828959	tray himself to Birdsall?
nyp.33433074828959	“ Abso- lutely. ” “ You will help me not ask any questions- just do as I tell you — will you? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433074828959	“ Busy?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ But- good heavens! — you're not going to pillory her this way if you're not sure? ”.."Oh, I'm sure, all right, but I'm out after them all.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Can you tell me where he lives, around here? ” “ He do n't live here no more,"came doggedly from the old man.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Could he have thrown it away?
nyp.33433074828959	“ Could you have heard any one entering the front door? ” “ I think so, sir. ” “ Did you? ”"No, sir. ” He turned hastily to the other.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Could you have heard any one entering the front door? ” “ I think so, sir. ” “ Did you? ”"No, sir. ” He turned hastily to the other.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Did n't ye hear a scratching on the window? ” in a hushed voice.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Do n't you think that you may have misjudged her? ” he asked, offering him a cigarette and lighting one himself.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Do you know any one named Anne Wolfe? ” Sam asked, following a sudden thought.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Do you know where he is now? ” suddenly.
nyp.33433074828959	“ God have mercy on us! ”"Oh, why did you do this, Billy?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ Has anything happened? ” he asked quickly, noticing her drawn face.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Has he had a doctor?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ Have you the letter now?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ How do you account for the closed windows? ” His smile was tolerant.
nyp.33433074828959	“ I carried it in my hand to the table. ” “ Then? ” “ I can not remember it after that.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Not the one? ” dully.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Sam, do you trust me?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ What are the rest of the things? ” she asked as she knelt there beside him.
nyp.33433074828959	“ What do you want me to do? ” As he said this the whole sum of his loyalty was in the tone.
nyp.33433074828959	“ What is it?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ What? ” broke from the detective as he bolted out at the door and up the stairs, taking the steps three at a time.
nyp.33433074828959	“ When did you go up? ” After a pause:"About seven- fifteen, sir."
nyp.33433074828959	“ Where did you get the papers you turned over to me this morning?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ Where is she?
nyp.33433074828959	“ Where's Donnie? ” he asked breathlessly.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Where's Forrest?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ Who is Billy Fellowes? ” John Ward looked at the speaker silently for what seemed a long time, though scarcely a mo- ment.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Who was it? ” “ Miss Torrance, sir. ” Sam's hands unconsciously grasped the chair in front of him.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Whom was it from?
nyp.33433074828959	“ Why did you tear up the envelop?
nyp.33433074828959	“ Why do I love you so? ” he asked bitterly, his face close to hers.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Why does any one hide a thing? ” ironically.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Why, what's this? ” asked the foremost juror.
nyp.33433074828959	“ Will you answer my question, please?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ Will you look on the path to the woods?
nyp.33433074828959	“ You detained this lady?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ You mean he's never around these parts at all?"
nyp.33433074828959	“ You mean the letter- from Zanzibar — that Blake spoke to you about? ” “ Yes. ” “ Has it any significance? ” He paused, abashed.
nyp.33433074828959	“ You mean the letter- from Zanzibar — that Blake spoke to you about? ” “ Yes. ” “ Has it any significance? ” He paused, abashed.
nyp.33433074828959	“ You ’ ve lived here a long while, have n't you? ” pleasantly.
nyp.33433074828959	“ You're Bronson? ” Sam asked, leaning over him.
nyp.33433074946843	- “ Oh, ” said he, with an air of relief, “ it ’s the doctor you ’re wanting, is it?
nyp.33433074946843	A match was natural enough, but why need it be wax?
nyp.33433074946843	Ach, if I had known, you should have been a dead fool! ” “ You mean if you had n't been made a bit of a fool of too? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433074946843	Again I looked at him hard and asked, “ Have you such a thing as a war match? ” His eyebrows rose slightly.
nyp.33433074946843	And how can one possibly manage that without giving away who the watcher is?
nyp.33433074946843	And how did you get it? ” “ It was when we began to hear of the bad name our island was getting.
nyp.33433074946843	And if so, what?
nyp.33433074946843	And now what about telling him who you really are?
nyp.33433074946843	And that is all I saw of him person- ally. ” “ But did he go to Mr. Rendall's then? ” The doctor nodded.
nyp.33433074946843	And then the man I was speaking to, what must he obviously be?
nyp.33433074946843	And was it then a fact of which I myself was unaware?
nyp.33433074946843	And what about the shooting affair?
nyp.33433074946843	And what had I discovered already?
nyp.33433074946843	And what hap- pened next? ” I told her of my night at the Scollays ’ and my plan for trapping the spies.
nyp.33433074946843	And what then did they imply?
nyp.33433074946843	And why did the lout stare and then laugh?
nyp.33433074946843	And why?
nyp.33433074946843	And will he if he can? ” “ The very man! ” said Jack, “ if he really will take the thing up.
nyp.33433074946843	Any further news? ” His mouth grew compressed and a frown set- tled over his eyes.
nyp.33433074946843	Are these the stones? ” and I pointed to the rocks all about us.
nyp.33433074946843	Are you anxious for statistics? ” Myself( concealing my disappointment under a brave smile): “ Oh no.
nyp.33433074946843	Are you insane? ” he said in a low intense voice and with a distinct trace of gut- tural accent.
nyp.33433074946843	As to Miss Jean's silence, what did that mean?
nyp.33433074946843	As to his build, he seemed thick- set and sturdy, but then who does not in an oilskin coat?
nyp.33433074946843	Besides, what do you suppose it is — a practical joke? ” “ No, of course not.
nyp.33433074946843	But I do n’t believe he was the man. ” “ Why not? ” I asked again.
nyp.33433074946843	But I trust he was n't a friend of yours, Miss Rendall? ” “ Not a particular friend.
nyp.33433074946843	But could he eradicate his dis- tinct touch of foreign accent?
nyp.33433074946843	But how are we going 144 THE MAN FROM THE CLOUDS to open negotiations without arousing suspicion?
nyp.33433074946843	But how precisely was one to behave accord- ingly?
nyp.33433074946843	But of what did he suspect him?
nyp.33433074946843	But on the other hand, events had made it clear that treason was going on without O’Brien, so how could the doctor have got clear of it?
nyp.33433074946843	But that was my friend right enough! ” “ Heading for the sea? ” “ For the beach, I take it.
nyp.33433074946843	But then again, if I put on an ac- cent, why not he?
nyp.33433074946843	But what of his daughter, that slim, danger- 170 THE MAN FROM THE CLOUDS ously dainty piece of mystery?
nyp.33433074946843	But what tale could I tell?
nyp.33433074946843	But why then did he whistle — and, moreover, whistle twice?
nyp.33433074946843	But you can believe as much of that as you like. ”- “ And did he land from a cruiser? ” “ Not likely!
nyp.33433074946843	But you can believe as much of them as you like. ” “ And have your cousins no theory?
nyp.33433074946843	But you do n't imagine they will give you warning, do you? ” “ You will, ” I said confidently.
nyp.33433074946843	By the way, was he a real drunkard?
nyp.33433074946843	Come in. ” So the laird was a doctor?
nyp.33433074946843	Could it possibly be that my entire adventure had been an hallucination?
nyp.33433074946843	Could it possibly be that this was the refuge he was providing and that he did not suspect me after all?
nyp.33433074946843	Could she have guessed right after all?
nyp.33433074946843	Could the German accent have been put on to conceal the brogue?
nyp.33433074946843	Did he actually read in hers confirma- tion of his first instinctive feeling, or was it only a too quick imagination?
nyp.33433074946843	Did she look up a list of them, or a rent roll or anything? ” “ No, ” I admitted.
nyp.33433074946843	Did she sus- pect something?
nyp.33433074946843	Did they try to do anything to you? ” “ Merely murder me, as they murdered poor Bolton.
nyp.33433074946843	Do I retire then? ” “ Not at all.
nyp.33433074946843	Do n't you even want to say good- bye? ” “ I ’ll send them a Christmas card, ” I said.
nyp.33433074946843	Do you care to hear some bits of the story you do n't know? ” Her eyes absolutely danced.
nyp.33433074946843	Do you have to ask? ” He looked sharply up and down the rocks and out to sea and I saw instantly what was in his mind.
nyp.33433074946843	Do you mean to say you had n't heard of my disappearance in a runaway balloon? ” “ What! ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074946843	Do you or do n't you believe me? ” John Whiteclett looked at me very steadily and spoke in his most deliberate accents.
nyp.33433074946843	Do you see? ” “ There's something certainly in all this, ” I had to admit.
nyp.33433074946843	Had I made a mere fool of myself and should I make a clean breast of everything to my hosts?
nyp.33433074946843	Had she noticed anything?
nyp.33433074946843	Have you lunched? ” “ I am afraid I have n't. ” “ Come and join us.
nyp.33433074946843	Have you no other language?
nyp.33433074946843	Hobhouse. ” “ Do you mean to say you never sent that off yourself? ” exclaimed Sir Francis.
nyp.33433074946843	How did he enquire?
nyp.33433074946843	How many sheeps are zere in zis island, eh? ” Did I see a gleam of intelligence for an instant 82 THE MAN FROM THE CLOUDS in Jock's eye?
nyp.33433074946843	How many sheeps are zere in zis island, eh? ” Did I see a gleam of intelligence for an instant 82 THE MAN FROM THE CLOUDS in Jock's eye?
nyp.33433074946843	I am certain there was no torpedo attack. ” “ She simply blew up then? ” “ That was it. ” “ Accident or design? ” “ God knows!
nyp.33433074946843	I am certain there was no torpedo attack. ” “ She simply blew up then? ” “ That was it. ” “ Accident or design? ” “ God knows!
nyp.33433074946843	I could hardly believe my own eyes! ” “ Hans Eckstein?
nyp.33433074946843	I feel con- vinced that more than one man is in it, and which conspirator took which part, who can say on the little evidence one has?

nyp.33433074946843	I only began to get the least idea of what you were about some time afterwards. ” “ And what idea did you get then?
nyp.33433074946843	I think Thomas came from the Clerical directory — or was it the Peerage?
nyp.33433074946843	If I were going to keep up the part of suspicious stranger at the Rendall's, at all events to begin with, what account of my arrival should I give?
nyp.33433074946843	If they were guilty, what had I discovered to bring it home to them?
nyp.33433074946843	In fact we're a patrol and I ’ve caught you red- handed on my own beat, and what I want to know is what the devil are you doing on it?
nyp.33433074946843	In which direction should I turn?
nyp.33433074946843	Is he a Ger- man scholar himself?

nyp.33433074946843	Looking to what I was doing myself, why not?
nyp.33433074946843	Might I not have imagined my whole mysterious adventure?
nyp.33433074946843	My own was ex- pressed in the thought, “ What the devil is she A REMINISCENCE 199 driving at now? ” Mr. Hobhouse's was expressed otherwise.

nyp.33433074946843	Of being a German spy, as he professed?
nyp.33433074946843	Of which sort, I wondered; medical, theological, or what?
nyp.33433074946843	Oh, he used the word “ urgent'I remem- ber. ” “ Incorrect account?
nyp.33433074946843	Oh, jolly?
nyp.33433074946843	Or of being what he was?
nyp.33433074946843	Or should I wait a little longer before deciding?
nyp.33433074946843	Ought I to go straight off and confide in him?
nyp.33433074946843	Ought I to have answered in a very differ- ent key?

nyp.33433074946843	That's just about how it seems to work out so far. ” “ Have n't you got any new ideas? ” “ Without new evidence, what new ideas can one get?

nyp.33433074946843	We know that, eh? ” They agreed as coldly as I could wish.
nyp.33433074946843	Well we're evidently both going in the other direction, so good- bye to you! ” What was I to make of this?
nyp.33433074946843	Well, no matter, that's your name. ” “ And my occupation? ” “ None: it saves prevarication and confusion.
nyp.33433074946843	Were her two changes of attitude in the course of this after- noon mere mirages seen by an eye disordered by suspicion?
nyp.33433074946843	Were we both sober, do you think? ” I in turn looked at the man keenly.
nyp.33433074946843	What about Uncle Francis — could he pull any strings for us?
nyp.33433074946843	What do you make of it yourself, Miss Rendall? ” “ Did the doctor tell you that I once walked with him along this very shore?

nyp.33433074946843	What do you think they found? ” “ Maps! ” guessed Mr. Hobhouse.
nyp.33433074946843	What good for instance had my visit to the Scollays done?
nyp.33433074946843	What had it hidden?
nyp.33433074946843	What has hap- pened? ” “ Got my wire! ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433074946843	What new form of lunacy have you bust out into? ” His eye fell on my revolver.
nyp.33433074946843	What should I aim at?
nyp.33433074946843	What was that great strapping Scollay fellow doing at home on a small croft where he was quite super- fluous, when his country needed every man?
nyp.33433074946843	What was to be thought of the whole morning's adventure?
nyp.33433074946843	What would be my own verdict if I were told such a yarn?
nyp.33433074946843	Who is he? ” demanded my new acquaintance, and I was pleased to observe no suspicion in his voice, merely a little astonish- ment.
nyp.33433074946843	Who was this mysterious person who had not lived all “ their ” life on the island?
nyp.33433074946843	Who would believe it for an instant unless I produced the hidden parachute?
nyp.33433074946843	Why had it been dropped?
nyp.33433074946843	Why had n't I stayed on and pursued my investigations?
nyp.33433074946843	Why on earth did you come out with me on that first walk — armed with that horse pistol? ” “ Oh, you saw it then! ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074946843	Will you come in? ” I bowed again and entered the mansion of Mr. Rendall.
nyp.33433074946843	Would I swallow it with- out demur?
nyp.33433074946843	Would he take you in that case? ” “ He must or he'd give himself away! ” “ True for you, Roger.
nyp.33433074946843	Would his old acquaintances accept Mr. Hob- house without question as an entire stranger?
nyp.33433074946843	You admit you saw nobody. ” “ I saw that curved thing — like a scimitar. ” “ But who on earth would be using a scimitar in these islands?
nyp.33433074946843	You've heard of my sad complaint, eh? ” “ No, ” said I, “ I ’m afraid I have n’t.
nyp.33433074946843	how can one be sure in the dark? ” “ It's no easy, ” he agreed.

nyp.33433074946843	“ A pair of gloves on it? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433074946843	“ A spy. ” “ Well, are you honestly surprised?
nyp.33433074946843	“ And a pair of gold- rimmed glasses, and this limp- which will hide even my walk, and a complete change of clothes; who will spot me?
nyp.33433074946843	“ And how many wax matches? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ And then what's the fellow doing himself all this time? ” I thought.
nyp.33433074946843	“ And was it quite conspicuous — easily seen on the rocks? ” “ We saw it a'right, ” said the man.
nyp.33433074946843	“ And what are you doing with that thing?
nyp.33433074946843	“ And what is my own score?
nyp.33433074946843	“ And what news? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ And what's the programme when we do land? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ And where are we likely to come down? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ And yet the police never noticed it?
nyp.33433074946843	“ And you had him re- moved from the island afterwards. ” “ You mean O'Brien?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Anything to be done? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Are there many sheep in this island? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Are there many sheep on this island? ” 70 THE MAN FROM THE CLOUDS Mr. Rendall( quite calmly): “ A good many.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Are you the same Merton?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Been for a walk? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ But what the dickens does it all mean? ” About ten long minutes passed before I heard voices and footsteps on the stairs.
nyp.33433074946843	“ By the way, how long have you got? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ By the way, what are we supposed to be look- ing for? ” I enquired presently.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Can it be that she has a morbid taste for inebriates? ” I wondered.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Did n't you write this either? ” He handed me a half sheet of paper on which was written in pencil these words.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Did they guess who you really were?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Did you know him, Miss Rendall?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Did you see anybody? ” “ No, ” I answered truthfully.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Did you see it happen? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Did you think then it was Mr. Rendall down among the rocks? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do the doctor and Mr. O'Brien ever go out themselves — like your father to- night? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do they light them up for us? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do you have many ships which pass this way? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do you hear anything? ” she asked, and there seemed to be a little catch in her breath.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do you know if there are many sheep on this island? ” So I had landed on an island!
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do you know who lives at that farm? ” en- quired Mr. Hobhouse speaking very distinctly.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Do you see anything? ” I asked in a voice in- stinctively hushed.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Has he been staying with him long? ” I pre- served.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Has he said anything to you? ” asked my cousin when he had called the doctor aside.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Have you seen any other strangers in this island of yours? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ How do you ex- plain that? ” The doctor looked at it again and his bewilder- ment was obviously sincere.
nyp.33433074946843	“ How else do you think I could have come? ” “ Sol ” he murmured again, and then he asked a curious question.
nyp.33433074946843	“ How the how on earth did you find me out? ” She smiled a little, but her manner was anxious still.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I ca n't shave owing to my shaky hand, ” I explained, “ and the limp is port in the big toe. ” “ Port? ” exclaimed my uncle.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I suppose you have heard of the mysterious man who appeared here last summer? ” she en- quired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I suppose you have little society in this charm- ing island? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I suppose, ” I said, thinking hard, “ that if you had wanted to, you could have let Dr. Rendall have that man? ” My cousin stared at me.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I wish he would n't! ” “ What's the matter? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I wonder if Roger will be as witty after a few weeks teetotal diet? ” he chuckled.
nyp.33433074946843	“ I wonder if the man believes me? ” I said to himself.
nyp.33433074946843	“ In that case we had better push on for the Scollays at once and see what she means. ” “ You do n't think it's a trap? ” asked my uncle.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Is Mrs. Rendall at home? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Is that some one in the hall? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Is that you, Mr. Merton? ” said a voice I knew.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Jack, old chap, what's up?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Jock knows stones! ” “ Stones? ” said I genially.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Lord, you think I'm a respectable member of society then?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Matches? ” he observed, pushing a box to- wards me.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Nothing to suggest? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Now what the devil does this mean? ” I said to myself.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Now, ” said he, “ how the devil did you get to this place?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Really in- deed?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Really? ” said she, her eyes opening.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Sheep? ” I said with a laugh.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Somewhere round about mid- day. ” “ And what did they say? ” “ ‘ They ’? ” repeated my cousin.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Somewhere round about mid- day. ” “ And what did they say? ” “ ‘ They ’? ” repeated my cousin.

nyp.33433074946843	“ Then she has sent me this wire and this mes- sage? ” “ She must have, ” I agreed.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Then they find your parachute — ” “ Who found it? ” “ I have n’t asked that yet; but I shall of course.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Then you have tried too, my friend? ” “ Ay, ” he admitted, splashing on the paint.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Tolly, you say?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Was the pocket book wet when it was found? ” “ No wetter than she is now, ” said the man.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Well, Jack? ” I said.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Well, you ridiculous looking dipsomaniac, how do you like water for dinner? ” enquired the Commander when they were safely out of ear- shot.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Well? ” I said.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Were any of your family patrolling last night? ” “ No, ” said he curtly.
nyp.33433074946843	“ What is it? ” she cried.
nyp.33433074946843	“ What is the meaning of this? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074946843	“ What ought I to have done that I have n’t done? ” I asked myself.
nyp.33433074946843	“ What ought to happen to a thing like this? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ What would a fellow Hun do in my place? ” I said to myself.
nyp.33433074946843	“ What, after all the trouble they ’ve taken to round you up? ” “ Do you mean to say they sent for you? ” “ Rather!
nyp.33433074946843	“ What, after all the trouble they ’ve taken to round you up? ” “ Do you mean to say they sent for you? ” “ Rather!
nyp.33433074946843	“ When did they wire for you? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ When did you get that? ” I cried.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Where did they get you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Which way do you want to go? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Who did tell you? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Who have you taken into your confidence? ” His eye turned manacingly on the doctor and I hastened to intervene.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Who was guarding this part here? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Who watches the shore up at the north end — near the Scollays ’ farm? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Why drag in the fair Miss Rendall?
nyp.33433074946843	“ Why ever did n't you look round? ” “ But I thought you were coming straight from home! ” “ I never said so, and I was n't!
nyp.33433074946843	“ Why not me? ” I enquired.
nyp.33433074946843	“ Would it worry you if I were to yarn a little about that adventure of yours in Ransay? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074946843	“ You have no doubt whatever that somebody blazed either at you or at something else from behind that wall? ” “ Or at something else?

nyp.33433074946843	“ You ’ll no have been long in Ransay? ” began my hostess.
nyp.33433074946843	“ You ’ll not be a dealer? ” enquired my host.

nyp.33433075755375	If he takes him into town, we are lost. ” “ Is there any sign of police? ” asked Farring- ton.
nyp.33433075755375	Is it money — her fortune? ” he asked, suddenly.
nyp.33433075755375	Is it not true? ” There was no mistaking his sincerity now.
nyp.33433075755375	It is suicide? ” T. B. looked past him.
nyp.33433075755375	Lady Dinsmore, ” he appealed to the elder woman, “ do you like him? ” “ Oh, do n't ask Aunt Patricia! ” cried the girl.
nyp.33433075755375	May I see the letter? ” She opened her bag, took out an envelope, removed the letter and passed it across to the inter- ested young man.
nyp.33433075755375	Moole — is he not? ” Dr. Fall inclined his head.
nyp.33433075755375	On terms of equality? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433075755375	She is not a detective, 74 THE SECRET HOUSE------- too, I suppose? ” he asked, sarcastically.
nyp.33433075755375	She is not a detective, too, I suppose? ” he added, sarcastically.
nyp.33433075755375	She is well? ” Frank gazed at him darkly.
nyp.33433075755375	Smith! ” he said, eagerly, “ is there any news? ” T. B. looked at him curiously.
nyp.33433075755375	Smith? ’ ” she said, with interest.
nyp.33433075755375	THE SECRET HOUSE I97 “ And yet I am not so fond of him, ” she went on, “ that I can marry him yet. ” “ Then why do you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	THE SECRET HOUSE Io9 “ How are you, Mr. Moole? ” said T. B. gently.
nyp.33433075755375	That Doris was to marry this infernal Doughton? ” “ For a very good reason. ” “ Explain the reason! ” stormed the angry man.
nyp.33433075755375	Then suddenly he asked: “ Who was the third man? ” Mr. Farrington's face went from white to red, and to white again.
nyp.33433075755375	Was she mad also?
nyp.33433075755375	What excuse could he offer?
nyp.33433075755375	What is the trouble? ” “ Why did you leave that instruction in your will?
nyp.33433075755375	What is the trouble? ” “ Why did you leave that instruction in your will?
nyp.33433075755375	What were the contents of that brief note which had affected her so powerfully?
nyp.33433075755375	What were your thieves after — bullion? ” “ Hardly!
nyp.33433075755375	What would they do?
nyp.33433075755375	What's that? ” he turned suddenly* A sudden muffled scream had broken into the conversation and it had come from the inside of the cottage.
nyp.33433075755375	Where is the other man? ” he asked quickly.
nyp.33433075755375	Who cares about the publication of a few letters? ” “ Has he got letters? ” asked the girl quickly, with a change of tone.
nyp.33433075755375	Who cares about the publication of a few letters? ” “ Has he got letters? ” asked the girl quickly, with a change of tone.
nyp.33433075755375	Why had T. B. left him?
nyp.33433075755375	Why should she secrete it with such care unless it con- veyed a lover's assurance?
nyp.33433075755375	Would Ambury agree to the exorbitant sum he had demanded?
nyp.33433075755375	Would you like a cigarette? ” “ Thank you, I have all the cigarettes I require, ” said Poltavo, briefly.
nyp.33433075755375	You have heard all? ” THE SECRET HOUSE 8I He nodded.
nyp.33433075755375	“ A peculiar scent, is it not? ” He raised the bottle to his nose again.
nyp.33433075755375	“ A pretty good story. ” Then suddenly: “ You knew him? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ About what? ” asked Frank, innocently.
nyp.33433075755375	“ After all, what is a little unpleasantness of that character?
nyp.33433075755375	“ Ajar? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433075755375	“ And my uncle? ” The question was a whisper.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Are you in charge? ” The detective spoke Italian fluently.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Are you the editor of this paper? ” asked the girl, as she slowly closed the door behind her.
nyp.33433075755375	“ But what does Sir George want with me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ But why not?
nyp.33433075755375	“ But why? ” asked the young man, in bewilder- ment.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Can I speak with you privately? ” “ I thought you might wish to, ” said T. B.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Can you offer any explanation? ” The rector shook his head.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Can you see me to- morrow? ” she askeg.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Chief in yet? ” he inquired of Jamieson, the news editor, who looked up in astonishment at his entrance, and then at the clock.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Do you know this gentleman? ” asked T. B.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Do you see those words on the top?
nyp.33433075755375	“ For whom? ” asked T. B.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Have you communicated with Mr. Doughton? ” v She nodded.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Have you discovered anything? ” he asked, when they were outside.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Have you got him? ” asked the detective.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Have you moved in the matter? ” T. B. shook his head.
nyp.33433075755375	“ He is n't coming here to- night? ” Doughton asked, in aggrieved tones.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Here? ” the answer came hoarsely.
nyp.33433075755375	“ How can I disobey this? ” She held the letter Out.
nyp.33433075755375	“ How is Doris? ” She sank into a chair and shook her head.
nyp.33433075755375	“ How? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433075755375	“ I am afraid you ca n't see Mr. Moole, ” said the THE SECRET HOUSE Io?
nyp.33433075755375	“ I am rather troubled. ”- “ Not seriously, I hope? ” he asked, anxiously.
nyp.33433075755375	“ I have n’t seen her to- day — she went down to Great Bradley last night — didn't she, auntie? ” The elder woman nodded.
nyp.33433075755375	“ I have seen him — I have seen everybody bu » “ But —? ” “ The occupant of the royal box.
nyp.33433075755375	“ I hope to meet you again very soon, Lady Constance. ” “ Without a warrant? ” she smiled.
nyp.33433075755375	“ I know that also. ” “ Then what else do you want to know? ” asked the other, in surprise.
nyp.33433075755375	“ I suppose I had better take this young man to the station? ” he said, indicating Frank.
nyp.33433075755375	“ If I am? ” Sneered Poltavo.
nyp.33433075755375	“ In money? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ In what way? ” “ By telling me all you know about Farrington and giving me any information you can about the Secret House.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is Mr. Ela in his office? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is he quite well? ” he inquired, in an undertone.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is it not so, my friend? ” he asked, softly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is that your question? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is there any person who is anxious that this marriage should not come about? ” Frank hesitated.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is there any way I can get out of this? ” he asked, after a while.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is this a joke? ” he asked with a desperate attempt at airiness.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Is — is she engaged to her young friend? ” he asked quietly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ It seems pretty easy to take him, does it not? ” asked Sir George, in surprise.
nyp.33433075755375	“ It's the Spanish prison trick, ” he said; “ surely you are not deceived by that sort of stuff? ” Poltavo shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Italian or Pole? ” asked the other.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Meet me at Waterloo; we must catch the 6:15 to Great Bradley. ” CHAPTER XI 66 OU want to see Mr. Moole? ” Dr. Fall asked the visitor.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Naturally, ” she said with a look of surprise, “ he is a gentleman, and is, I believe, fairly well off. ” “ And Gorth? ” asked Poltavo.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Not your ward's by any chance? ”* Farrington shook his head vigorously.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Or Montague Fallock? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Or Mr. Gorth? ” she asked, and he shook his head.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Or tentatively? ” he insisted.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Our friend? ” she repeated, inquiringly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Paper, sir? ” He addressed the man.
nyp.33433075755375	“ She is at Great Bradley, ” he said; “ her brother is the rector there. ” “ Great Bradley? ” T.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Tell me, what do you want? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Tell me, what do you want? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ That is your last word? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ The third man? ” he stammered.
nyp.33433075755375	“ The two men you found in the square did n't help you? ” T. B., pacing the apartment with his hand in his pocket, shook his head.
nyp.33433075755375	“ The will was rather a surprise to you? ” Count Poltavo was now all smooth equanimity.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Then what » “ Why are you so absolutely sure that he is dead? ” she asked softly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ To what am I indebted for the honour of this visit? ” asked Poltavo, as he pushed forward a chair.
nyp.33433075755375	“ To where are you taking me? ” asked Poltavo, ghastly white of face and shaking from head to foot.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Unpleasant, is it not? ” said Dr. Fall.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Well done, Poltavo, ” he said; “ excellently fenced. ” “ Did you hear? ” asked the Pole, surprised in spite of himself.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Well, what do you think of it? ” Poltavo pulled a chair from the wall and sat down facing his chief.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Well? ” It was a singularly agreeable voice which aroused him, soft and well- bred, but with a faint foreign accent.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What are you going to do? ” asked Poltavo, white as death.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What are you going to do? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What brings you to breakfast, Constance? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What can you see in that man, Doris? ” he 50 THE SECRET HOUSE protested.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What did you find? ” asked that worthy man.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What do you make of it? ” asked Mr. Farring- ton.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What do you mean? ” asked the other quickly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What do you mean? ” he gasped.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What do you want? ” he almost whispered.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What does he matter? ” he asked roughly; “ they know as much as they are likely to know.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What does this mean, signor? ” asked the foreman.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What does this mean? ” asked Fall, quickly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What does this mean? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What evidence have we?
nyp.33433075755375	“ What is he doing here? ” “ What was his car doing here the other day, ” asked Fall, “ when he kidnapped Frank Doughton?
nyp.33433075755375	“ What is he doing here? ” “ What was his car doing here the other day, ” asked Fall, “ when he kidnapped Frank Doughton?
nyp.33433075755375	“ What is it? ” The Pole spread out his hands in a gesture of self- depreciation.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What is that? ” asked Ela.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What is the trouble? ” he asked, as he closed the door behind him.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What is your name? ” asked T. B. after a while.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What was that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What's up? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What? ” asked Mr. Farrington, suspiciously.
nyp.33433075755375	“ What? ” “ Lady Constance Dex's initials, I mean, ” said T. B.
nyp.33433075755375	“ When did you come to this country? ” “ Six months ago. ” “ Why? ” Poltavo shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433075755375	“ When did you come to this country? ” “ Six months ago. ” “ Why? ” Poltavo shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Where do you live? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Where is Mr. Farrington? ” he asked, quickly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Who is this Mr. Smith? ” he asked, suddenly.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Who was he? ” asked Ela.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Why do n't you go round to Brakely Square? ” THE SECRET HOUSE.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Why? ” asked Poltavo in surprise.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Why? ” asked T. B. calmly; “ what do you gain by arresting him?
nyp.33433075755375	“ Why? ” asked T. B. calmly; “ what do you gain by arresting him?
nyp.33433075755375	“ Why? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Why? ” insisted the man at the table.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Will he betray us? ” asked Farrington, voicing the unspoken thoughts of Fall.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Will they be returned? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Will you be my good friend and tell me why? ” Lady Dinsmore smiled.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Will you come in? ” he asked, and T. B. was shown into a large comfortably furnished sitting- TOO111.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Wo n't you come in? ” said Poltavo, rising.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” he said.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Yes — why? ” “ Those are the initials on the gold scent bottle, that is all, ” said the detective.
nyp.33433075755375	“ Yes? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ You do n't mean that? ” he asked incredulously.
nyp.33433075755375	“ You do not mean that? ” “ I do indeed, ” said T. B.
nyp.33433075755375	“ You have a pistol? ” asked Farrington.
nyp.33433075755375	“ You have heard something — later? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075755375	“ You have seen the ladies?
nyp.33433075755375	“ You mean Mr. Moole? ” “ That is the man, ” said the cheerful T. B.
mdp.49015002078799	'Ome- like, ai n't it?
mdp.49015002078799	A mysterious affair, do n't you think? mdp.49015002078799 A rich man?"
mdp.49015002078799	A sequel, you say? mdp.49015002078799 A suggestion that Jardine and Beresford were rivals, and therefore —?"
mdp.49015002078799	About the choice of the spot? mdp.49015002078799 After you left me — but, by the way, you know we were shadowed by Scotland Yard?"
mdp.49015002078799	Ah — is that so? mdp.49015002078799 Ah — so you took notice?
mdp.49015002078799	Ah, who? mdp.49015002078799 Ah?
mdp.49015002078799	Ah? mdp.49015002078799 Ah?
mdp.49015002078799	Ah?
mdp.49015002078799	Ah?
mdp.49015002078799	Ah?—well, was I right in saying that Pugsley was in the picture? mdp.49015002078799 Already?"
mdp.49015002078799	An appoint- ment?—after midnight — in Castle- Dinas? mdp.49015002078799 And I suppose he gave you no idea of what he proposed to do with his property?"
mdp.49015002078799	And Mr. Beresford passed you with a lady before you came on Pugsley?
mdp.49015002078799	And all the palaver about the time I got home and how I spent the night and what I did yesterday morning — all just for fun?
mdp.49015002078799	And by that time the works were good enough to get you upstairs unaided and without undue noise?
mdp.49015002078799	And does he connect it with Jardine?
mdp.49015002078799	And heard?
mdp.49015002078799	And how and where you met him, Mrs. Young? mdp.49015002078799 And how did he react to that?"
mdp.49015002078799	And how in the name of the foul fiend did you know that, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	And in the morning?
mdp.49015002078799	And milk?
mdp.49015002078799	And nothing before or after that?
mdp.49015002078799	And so, which of us begins?
mdp.49015002078799	And that goes for the girl?
mdp.49015002078799	And that suggests —?
mdp.49015002078799	And that, I suppose, would have been half- past twelve or thereabouts?
mdp.49015002078799	And the man?
mdp.49015002078799	And then — any noise inside?
mdp.49015002078799	And then?
mdp.49015002078799	And what did he conclude from that?
mdp.49015002078799	And why not? mdp.49015002078799 And why?"
mdp.49015002078799	And you did n't see Sharpe, or Mapperley, or Peter after you left with the Lowells and before you met them this morning?
mdp.49015002078799	And you did n't watch where Beresford went — see whether he stopped to speak to the man?
mdp.49015002078799	And you do n't think he could have shammed drunk?
mdp.49015002078799	And you led me to that rock by the river where we sat by mere chance — with no special motive whatever?
mdp.49015002078799	And you noticed nothing about the copy to suggest why it might be needed in a hurry?
mdp.49015002078799	And you'll go no further than that?
mdp.49015002078799	And you've never thought what other appointment he could have at that time of night?
mdp.49015002078799	And you, Sharpe?
mdp.49015002078799	Any point in that, Tolefree? mdp.49015002078799 Are you charging me with anything?"
mdp.49015002078799	Are you fool enough to be thinking that I killed Beresford? mdp.49015002078799 Are you trying to connect Captain Pugsley with that man's death?"
mdp.49015002078799	Army?—Navy?
mdp.49015002078799	Begins what?
mdp.49015002078799	Beresford? mdp.49015002078799 Beresford?"
mdp.49015002078799	But as a matter of curiosity, how do you arrive at Pugsley? mdp.49015002078799 But no enemy that you knew of?"
mdp.49015002078799	But not a specially long sleep, was it?
mdp.49015002078799	But she had something to do with Beresford, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	But shrewd? mdp.49015002078799 But the police —?"
mdp.49015002078799	But then — what best do you hope for?
mdp.49015002078799	But what about the discovery that Mr. Lowell was out on Goonbarrow? mdp.49015002078799 But you see what it means?
mdp.49015002078799	But,he depressed himself again,"why should Katherine tell him?
mdp.49015002078799	But,said Mapperley,"if her story's true —?"
mdp.49015002078799	Can make of it? mdp.49015002078799 Candour?
mdp.49015002078799	Candour? mdp.49015002078799 Care to climb up to the parapet?
mdp.49015002078799	Care to come? mdp.49015002078799 Carried?
mdp.49015002078799	Case of Doctor Fell —?
mdp.49015002078799	Cigarettes? mdp.49015002078799 Comic, eh — two meetings like this?
mdp.49015002078799	Coming into town for a car or walking? mdp.49015002078799 Could you say whether Beresford was a bit of a gambler?"
mdp.49015002078799	Could you take me to the place, or near about?
mdp.49015002078799	Did Fisher put you through the third degree?
mdp.49015002078799	Did I?
mdp.49015002078799	Did he leave a message?
mdp.49015002078799	Did n't Mapperley tell you he's asked Tolefree to stay at Carnmarth?
mdp.49015002078799	Did n't it seem curious to you that he should be lying out alone on Goonbarrow Downs, a fellow of that type?
mdp.49015002078799	Did n't say what lawyers?
mdp.49015002078799	Did n't you notice that he seemed anxious for a personal success? mdp.49015002078799 Did n't you twig why he left the party before lunch?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you ever hear him say anything about Beresford?—express any opinion on him?
mdp.49015002078799	Did you hear Mr. Sharpe come in?
mdp.49015002078799	Did you know the man you'd passed?
mdp.49015002078799	Did you say you were driving Lowell's car?
mdp.49015002078799	Did you see him?
mdp.49015002078799	Do I get your meaning?
mdp.49015002078799	Do I so wear my heart on my sleeve?
mdp.49015002078799	Do you admit that Carnmarth's up to the eaves in the mystery of Beres- ford's death? mdp.49015002078799 Do you wonder at it when I tell you that Beresford served a term in a convict prison?"
mdp.49015002078799	Do you?
mdp.49015002078799	Doctor Mapperley alone?
mdp.49015002078799	Doctor Mapperley know he's here?
mdp.49015002078799	Does anybody like him?
mdp.49015002078799	Does it? mdp.49015002078799 Does the fact that Sharpe lies under suspicion make any difference?"
mdp.49015002078799	Door? mdp.49015002078799 Down for the Feast Day ceremonies?"
mdp.49015002078799	Egypt?
mdp.49015002078799	Eh? mdp.49015002078799 Eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	Eh?
mdp.49015002078799	Eh?—What impossibility?
mdp.49015002078799	Even though Christopher Sharpe's in a police- cell?
mdp.49015002078799	Flight?
mdp.49015002078799	From the top I expect we look quite small, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	Golden- haired dame, is she not? mdp.49015002078799 Good Heavens!—have you got that far?"
mdp.49015002078799	Gosh!—is that a warning, Fisher, to me?
mdp.49015002078799	Had a good night, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Has a telephone- call transformed a delightful dining- room into a torture- chamber?
mdp.49015002078799	Has it happened like that before?
mdp.49015002078799	Have n't taken a look at the case since you came home to- day?
mdp.49015002078799	He must have been fairly well off — even rich?
mdp.49015002078799	He'd be a fair lump to carry a mile over the rough, would n't he? mdp.49015002078799 He'd have a success with boys, Doctor Mapperley?"
mdp.49015002078799	Hello, Mr. Fisher,said the doctor, with sardonic joviality,"taking him away?
mdp.49015002078799	Here?
mdp.49015002078799	Hi!—Sixth Corps h.q., Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	How could it be? mdp.49015002078799 How d'you mean — about Mapperley?"
mdp.49015002078799	How did I do, Tony?
mdp.49015002078799	How do you arrive at that, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	How do you do?
mdp.49015002078799	How do you mean — supposed?
mdp.49015002078799	How does Doctor Mapperley react to him?
mdp.49015002078799	How goes the sleuthing?
mdp.49015002078799	How long ago was that arrangement made? mdp.49015002078799 How many years?"
mdp.49015002078799	How so?
mdp.49015002078799	How the devil did you get that?
mdp.49015002078799	How was it, Jardine? mdp.49015002078799 I concocted it?
mdp.49015002078799	I said? mdp.49015002078799 I say, Fisher, you do n't want me any longer?
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose there's no chance us wo n't fight this time, sir?
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose you would n't care for me to see him and try to get at the truth?
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose you'd do anything to prevent your hopes from blowing up?
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose,said Tolefree,"that was the name inscribed in the book of poems?
mdp.49015002078799	I think,said Mapperley to Tolefree,"you said Fisher was no fool?"
mdp.49015002078799	If Beresford's date was with Mapperley, as you de- duce, what more natural than for Mapperley to tell Lowell? mdp.49015002078799 If no friends — any enemies?"
mdp.49015002078799	If you do —?
mdp.49015002078799	Including the man who'd given him a date?
mdp.49015002078799	Is he in danger?
mdp.49015002078799	Is it? mdp.49015002078799 Is that a trouble?
mdp.49015002078799	Is that really so, Jardine? mdp.49015002078799 Is that the end?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is that watch right?
mdp.49015002078799	Is the idea that Beresford may have had his date with Jardine?
mdp.49015002078799	Is this true about the gun?
mdp.49015002078799	It seems sheer fantasy, Tolefree — a book of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poems — how could it have anything to do with the family trouble?
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine — what did he tell you?
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine,he said,"you've been quite candid with me, I think?
mdp.49015002078799	Juliet — you and Henry have a soft place in your hearts for old Alex, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	Just the spirit of the occasion, Mrs. Young? mdp.49015002078799 Know any details, Mr. Trahair?
mdp.49015002078799	Leaving by the train at five minutes past six, I be- lieve?
mdp.49015002078799	Let's turn to something else, shall we? mdp.49015002078799 Like what?"
mdp.49015002078799	Making rather much of it, are n't you?
mdp.49015002078799	Man of wealth, education, style — how could his finger- prints interest anyone? mdp.49015002078799 Marijuana — yes?
mdp.49015002078799	May I smoke? mdp.49015002078799 Mr. Jardine's keeping late hours to- night, eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	My dear Jardine — why should you be grateful? mdp.49015002078799 Nautical touch there?"
mdp.49015002078799	No doubt you've a clean sheet?
mdp.49015002078799	No ill- feeling, Pierce? mdp.49015002078799 No servant saw him go?"
mdp.49015002078799	No — if you volunteered it, I thought — well, if you did n't —"Keeping out?
mdp.49015002078799	Not even if you saw he was dead?
mdp.49015002078799	Not sensitive to- day? mdp.49015002078799 Not the sort of man you'd expect to spend a lot of money on social climbing in Castle- Dinas, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	Not while travelling in the East?
mdp.49015002078799	Noth- ing to do with you?
mdp.49015002078799	Nothing disgraceful, I hope?
mdp.49015002078799	Now are you going back to Doctor Mapperley's? mdp.49015002078799 Now are you satisfied?"
mdp.49015002078799	Now, Doctor — do you think it possible still to go on with your conspiracy of silence?
mdp.49015002078799	Now, Sharpe, you wo n't deny that Mapperley made an appointment to meet Beresford that night and you knew it —?
mdp.49015002078799	Now, if you could only tell us whom they're going to arrest —"What would you do then, Doctor?
mdp.49015002078799	Oh!—so you're the man? mdp.49015002078799 Oh?"
mdp.49015002078799	Oh?
mdp.49015002078799	Oh?
mdp.49015002078799	Oh?—and what can I do for you about the Beresford affair?
mdp.49015002078799	On sight?
mdp.49015002078799	On what score?
mdp.49015002078799	Once?
mdp.49015002078799	Or is this truly a farewell dinner?
mdp.49015002078799	Or will you help yourself from the sideboard, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Perhaps not — but little hints of such things? mdp.49015002078799 Peter?
mdp.49015002078799	Philosophy?
mdp.49015002078799	Possible relations, does n't it? mdp.49015002078799 Same car?"
mdp.49015002078799	See Beresford again?
mdp.49015002078799	See Mr. Sharpe about that time?
mdp.49015002078799	Seen him lately?
mdp.49015002078799	Sharpe, will you run into Castle- Dinas in your car and bring Ar- thur out? mdp.49015002078799 She committed no crime?
mdp.49015002078799	So the bridge debt was a fiction?
mdp.49015002078799	So? mdp.49015002078799 Spell- ho here, Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Spoken to her about it?
mdp.49015002078799	Sugar?
mdp.49015002078799	Surely I do n't think Beresford a rival of Jardine? mdp.49015002078799 Surely there's nothing queer about losing anything out of a car?
mdp.49015002078799	Surely you do n't think —? mdp.49015002078799 Tea?"
mdp.49015002078799	That suit you, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	That was about four months ago?
mdp.49015002078799	That was what?
mdp.49015002078799	That's the man who came up to us on the castle green, is n't it?
mdp.49015002078799	That's your idea? mdp.49015002078799 Then Fisher's landed with a murder mystery?
mdp.49015002078799	Then Scotland Yard has lost interest in it?
mdp.49015002078799	Then you do n't really think I myself am the felon?
mdp.49015002078799	Then, thank you — unless there's anything you'd like to ask Mrs. Young, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Think Sharpe's in any real danger, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree —?
mdp.49015002078799	Took the house on a lease, I suppose?
mdp.49015002078799	Transactions? mdp.49015002078799 Un- less what?"
mdp.49015002078799	Useless to ask what you make of it?
mdp.49015002078799	Was n't Beresford the enemy of the Lowells, and did n't he come to Castle- Dinas to persecute them and to do it through Katherine? mdp.49015002078799 Was n't he?"
mdp.49015002078799	Was n't to be expected, was it? mdp.49015002078799 We're both on the wrong track, eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	Well — I was to keep out, was n't I?
mdp.49015002078799	Well — if —"If it is n't a small world, were you going to say?
mdp.49015002078799	Well — next?
mdp.49015002078799	Well — who would n't?
mdp.49015002078799	Well, what have you noticed?
mdp.49015002078799	Well, what is it? mdp.49015002078799 Well,"said Jardine,"have you noticed anything?"
mdp.49015002078799	Well,said the doctor, as Tolefree took the cup Mrs. Lowell prepared for him,"made up your mind?
mdp.49015002078799	Well? mdp.49015002078799 Were you not in a car on Goonbarrow Downs?
mdp.49015002078799	What about a little air of Goonbarrow Downs, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	What business is it of yours?
mdp.49015002078799	What d'you make of him?
mdp.49015002078799	What d'you want?
mdp.49015002078799	What does Scotland Yard reason about that?
mdp.49015002078799	What is there to make of it? mdp.49015002078799 What price?"
mdp.49015002078799	What sort of information?
mdp.49015002078799	What sort of travel could it be?—that no one knows anything about it? mdp.49015002078799 What the hell do you want?
mdp.49015002078799	What the hell does that matter to you?
mdp.49015002078799	What then? mdp.49015002078799 What was it?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's that?
mdp.49015002078799	What's that?
mdp.49015002078799	What's that?
mdp.49015002078799	What's that?
mdp.49015002078799	What's that?
mdp.49015002078799	What's the name of the place Sharpe men- tioned, where he heard of the schoolmaster with the jittery eyebrow?
mdp.49015002078799	What's this?
mdp.49015002078799	What's to prevent Lowell from driving over here and using Sharpe's'bus as a funeral car?
mdp.49015002078799	Where did he go?
mdp.49015002078799	Which is —?
mdp.49015002078799	Which ones?
mdp.49015002078799	Who are the two?
mdp.49015002078799	Who did his legal business?
mdp.49015002078799	Who is Pugsley? mdp.49015002078799 Why d'you mention that, Mrs. Young?
mdp.49015002078799	Why did he pull him in?
mdp.49015002078799	Why did you leave Beresford in the garage while you came in to see the doctor?
mdp.49015002078799	Why do n't you ask him yourself why he sent for me?
mdp.49015002078799	Why does Fisher want to know that, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Why not?
mdp.49015002078799	Why should I? mdp.49015002078799 Why should I?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why sleuth at all? mdp.49015002078799 Why wonder?
mdp.49015002078799	Why would he?
mdp.49015002078799	Why?
mdp.49015002078799	Why?
mdp.49015002078799	Will you show him out and give him his hat?
mdp.49015002078799	William the Silent versus Winston Churchill?
mdp.49015002078799	Wo n't you introduce me to your mother and father?
mdp.49015002078799	Would n't it have been smart work for a dopey man to walk six miles in the time?
mdp.49015002078799	Would you care,he asked,"to tell me when you last saw Beresford?"
mdp.49015002078799	Would you? mdp.49015002078799 Yes — and I wonder how long he'd have lain there unseen if you had n't spotted him?
mdp.49015002078799	Yes — and why would he walk? mdp.49015002078799 Yes — dramatic, is n't it?
mdp.49015002078799	Yes?
mdp.49015002078799	Yes?
mdp.49015002078799	You ca n't tell the truth without Mapperley's consent? mdp.49015002078799 You could n't say for certain whether he left the house during the night — after you heard him go to bed?"
mdp.49015002078799	You did n't know, Doctor? mdp.49015002078799 You did n't notice that the door was open?"
mdp.49015002078799	You did n't sell the gun with the other stuff?
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't doubt that there was some association in the past between Beresford and the Lowells, and that the Lowells strove to conceal it?
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't mind if I put the car up first? mdp.49015002078799 You do n't say this without knowing it?"
mdp.49015002078799	You down for the show, or —?
mdp.49015002078799	You have n't a Colt revolver?
mdp.49015002078799	You in it too?
mdp.49015002078799	You mean — the truth about his death?
mdp.49015002078799	You need n't go yet, Martin, need you?
mdp.49015002078799	You never bought anything from him? mdp.49015002078799 You really think that?"
mdp.49015002078799	You remember,said Tolefree,"that when we met after lunch on Feast Day you said you had a feeling of having seen Beresford before?
mdp.49015002078799	You see?
mdp.49015002078799	You think so? mdp.49015002078799 You think so?
mdp.49015002078799	You thought the murder was n't done out there, did n't you?
mdp.49015002078799	You was in it last time, sir, no doubt?
mdp.49015002078799	You were n't near Carnmarth any time between half- past twelve and three o'clock?
mdp.49015002078799	You were out between midnight and — was it one o'clock you said? mdp.49015002078799 You'd retired by that time?"
mdp.49015002078799	You're not going to take me into your confidence? mdp.49015002078799 You're of an age — pardon me!—which suggests that you may have known something of the last one?"
mdp.49015002078799	You've heard?
mdp.49015002078799	You've left him just as he lay?
mdp.49015002078799	142 THE CORPSE WITH"Notice anybody else while Williams was with you?"
mdp.49015002078799	156 THE CORPSE WITH"Why equivocal?"
mdp.49015002078799	168 THE CORPSE WITH"Why am I supposed to have all this knowledge and foresight, Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	202 THE CORPSE WITH"You did n't even tell Fisher?"
mdp.49015002078799	4tWhy should I pay a lawyer to do what I can do my- self?
mdp.49015002078799	6o THE CORPSE WITH"Pugsley sitting in?"
mdp.49015002078799	82 THE CORPSE WITH"Yes?
mdp.49015002078799	< fWould you drive me to Carnmarth?
mdp.49015002078799	A form of blackmail?
mdp.49015002078799	A man of whose 228 THE CORPSE WITH name he was uncertain — could it be Beresford?
mdp.49015002078799	A rich man?
mdp.49015002078799	A suburban church, probably in the parish where Miss Mapperley lived.?'
mdp.49015002078799	A voice cried,"Who the hell are you?
mdp.49015002078799	Again, cur quis non prandeat — eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	Aloud he said,"Hello, Beresford — how d'you like our show?
mdp.49015002078799	An improvised drive across the Downs when he was expected to walk to Mapperley's and sleep there?
mdp.49015002078799	And I expect I've heard of you?"
mdp.49015002078799	And did n't get it?"
mdp.49015002078799	And for that matter, what's the murder to you?"
mdp.49015002078799	And how comes a private detective playing amanuensis to that ass Fisher?"
mdp.49015002078799	And immediately I found the gun I began to think the hunch wrong —""Why did you alter your mind then?"
mdp.49015002078799	And left that unhappy woman in the street alone?
mdp.49015002078799	And so, your name's Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	And something about rattlesnakes?"
mdp.49015002078799	And that makes you think, eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	And that was all, Mrs. Young?
mdp.49015002078799	And then what?
mdp.49015002078799	And there was Egypt in that, was n't there?
mdp.49015002078799	And what's logic got to do with it, anyhow?
mdp.49015002078799	And where — that it brought him up against these Lowells?"
mdp.49015002078799	And who is there?"
mdp.49015002078799	And why should I lend anyone an old Service revolver?"
mdp.49015002078799	And why should he hare after me?"
mdp.49015002078799	And why?"
mdp.49015002078799	And you say he had no friends?"
mdp.49015002078799	And you wo n't want an amateur playing around, will you?"
mdp.49015002078799	And you're not mentioning any names?"
mdp.49015002078799	And, Jardine, before we go in — can you keep your counte- nance if I take a pretty firm line with Lowell and make an unpleasant revelation?"
mdp.49015002078799	And, by the way, any objection to leaving that copy of the certificate with me?"
mdp.49015002078799	And, how- ever insignificant he was —""Fiat justitia?
mdp.49015002078799	Any evidence that he was addicted?"
mdp.49015002078799	Anyone now in the Faculty who was acquainted with Miss Mapperley, Tolefree inquired?
mdp.49015002078799	Apparently he did n't know his case, for he blackmailed in the belief that there'd been a bigamous marriage, did n't he?"
mdp.49015002078799	Are we going any further?"
mdp.49015002078799	Are you going to arrest me for murdering Beresford?"
mdp.49015002078799	Are you mad?"
mdp.49015002078799	Are you offended?"
mdp.49015002078799	As Mapperley was following Sharpe to the library after lunch he said to Tolefree,"You'll be staying on for a day or two?
mdp.49015002078799	Ask yourself, Did I lend it to anyone? —""Well, I did n't.
mdp.49015002078799	Been up to something with Jardine in London, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	Belliver?"
mdp.49015002078799	Beresford?"
mdp.49015002078799	Beresford?"
mdp.49015002078799	Beresford?"
mdp.49015002078799	But 124 THE CORPSE WITH"And dumped him — where?"
mdp.49015002078799	But I guessed right, did n't I?"
mdp.49015002078799	But from what?"
mdp.49015002078799	But had n't met Lowell in Yorkshire?"
mdp.49015002078799	But have you been told of another and more alarming find of Fisher's?"
mdp.49015002078799	But how would his Dresden china mother have taken it?"
mdp.49015002078799	But is there any suggestion that he must have been insensible?"
mdp.49015002078799	But let's have some lunch first, shall we?
mdp.49015002078799	But were you aware when he came home whether he was very drunk?"
mdp.49015002078799	But what about Lowell?
mdp.49015002078799	But what about the alibi?
mdp.49015002078799	But what association?
mdp.49015002078799	But what does the good Fisher think?"
mdp.49015002078799	But what poems?"
mdp.49015002078799	But why had he failed to see the staring fact which utterly destroyed his story of the gun?
mdp.49015002078799	But why?"
mdp.49015002078799	But would you care to say all that happened after you got home that night?"
mdp.49015002078799	But you believe in your friend Jardine?"
mdp.49015002078799	But you wanted me to keep out, did n't you?"
mdp.49015002078799	But you —?"
mdp.49015002078799	But you'll take my advice, wo n't you, and not make the mistake of being contemptuous of the police?"
mdp.49015002078799	But your gun was found not far from the body, and had been hidden —""How and where?"
mdp.49015002078799	But — is it so queer?
mdp.49015002078799	But — there's no doubt about the marriage, I suppose?"
mdp.49015002078799	By the way — passport?"
mdp.49015002078799	By the way — your husband —?"
mdp.49015002078799	Ca n't you see him getting out his car to keep the appointment here?"
mdp.49015002078799	Can you do the same for Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Can you doubt it?"
mdp.49015002078799	Can you give me any?"
mdp.49015002078799	Can you make out with Jardine?"
mdp.49015002078799	Care to come?"
mdp.49015002078799	Care to come?"
mdp.49015002078799	Castle- Dinas would be quite a good place to get lost in, do n't you think?
mdp.49015002078799	Catching it?—or giving it a miss?"
mdp.49015002078799	Christopher — you thought so too, eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	Cigarette?
mdp.49015002078799	Cigarette? — pipe?
mdp.49015002078799	Cigarette? — pipe?
mdp.49015002078799	Could a car have come further than the road — I mean across the rough?"
mdp.49015002078799	Could it have been Beresford who stood him up- right?"
mdp.49015002078799	Could n't keep away, could you?
mdp.49015002078799	Could that be?"
mdp.49015002078799	Cur quis non frandeat, hoc est?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did I say he was a favourite student of mine in the History School?
mdp.49015002078799	Did Jardine say anything to you of his talk with Fisher?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did Mrs. Belliver know where he might be found?
mdp.49015002078799	Did he know of a school at Ashling which would be likely to employ a man of some intellectual quality?
mdp.49015002078799	Did he live in your house for some time?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did n't she?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you ever consider whether Beresford was killed elsewhere and taken to Goonbarrow as a dead body?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you ever hear Beresford say anything of him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you hear him come in?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you hear him say he'd never in the world seen a lonelier spot than Goonbarrow Downs?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you know he only came in about an hour ago?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you know it?"
mdp.49015002078799	Did you tell him about Ella Wheeler Wilcox?"
mdp.49015002078799	Do n't I have to know something about the charge before I disappear into the dungeon?"
mdp.49015002078799	Do you think it likely he's not seen the possibility, even the like- lihood, that the murder was done elsewhere and a dead body taken to Goonbarrow?
mdp.49015002078799	Do you wish him to know?"
mdp.49015002078799	Do you wish to give any explanation of what you were doing on Goon- barrow Downs at that time of night?
mdp.49015002078799	Doctor Lose, for in- stance — instinctive dislike, did n't he say?
mdp.49015002078799	Does Mrs. Young know whether Mr. Beres- ford made a will?"
mdp.49015002078799	Does he pay you regularly?"
mdp.49015002078799	Does it come up to the preliminary blah?"
mdp.49015002078799	Does n't it?"
mdp.49015002078799	Does n't that want explanation?"
mdp.49015002078799	Does that look like a casual visitor to Castle- Dinas?"
mdp.49015002078799	Fisher went on,"If not trout — then what?
mdp.49015002078799	Fisher's quite convinced that Beresford was after Jardine's girl —""I said it was absurd — but —""But it's feasible?
mdp.49015002078799	Fisher?"
mdp.49015002078799	Five bob, was n't it?"
mdp.49015002078799	Fourth card — but, Jardine, do n't fly off the handle, will you?
mdp.49015002078799	Going to desert us or not?"
mdp.49015002078799	Good for an hour's walking?"
mdp.49015002078799	Had the pin- head pupils of his eyes anything to say to that?
mdp.49015002078799	Had you read it?
mdp.49015002078799	Half an hour?"
mdp.49015002078799	Has it ever struck you that Beresford may be in Castle- Dinas because the Lowells are here?"
mdp.49015002078799	Have a drink?
mdp.49015002078799	Have n't you an idea?"
mdp.49015002078799	Have some of this muck?—or a spot and splash?
mdp.49015002078799	Have you arrived at the point where you propose to stop unless I give you an undertaking?"
mdp.49015002078799	Have you considered?
mdp.49015002078799	Have you ordered the car?
mdp.49015002078799	Have you seen anything — well, anything amiss lately?"
mdp.49015002078799	Have you seen the portraits he's done of her?"
mdp.49015002078799	Have you?
mdp.49015002078799	He called out,'All right, Williams?'
mdp.49015002078799	He growled a complaint: did she want to get locked in?
mdp.49015002078799	He lodged a few hundreds here when he came —""How?"
mdp.49015002078799	He never gave you anything?"
mdp.49015002078799	He said to Trahair:"Your car here?"
mdp.49015002078799	He sorrowfully admitted that his acquaint- THEEERIEEYE 2?
mdp.49015002078799	He was at Menadon when you left?"
mdp.49015002078799	He's entirely unknown to me, but —""You had n't counted him in?
mdp.49015002078799	Hope it has n't spoilt your appetite for lunch, you two?"
mdp.49015002078799	How could a man of that stamp have been lured there by a person who meant to murder him?
mdp.49015002078799	How d'you know?"
mdp.49015002078799	How did Katherine enjoy the party?"
mdp.49015002078799	How did it get to Goonbarrow Downs?"
mdp.49015002078799	How do I get the honour?"
mdp.49015002078799	How do you bring him in?"
mdp.49015002078799	How far away is the nearest telephone?"
mdp.49015002078799	How long are you staying with Doctor Mapperley this time, Bruce?"
mdp.49015002078799	How long do you think he'll take to reach Carnmarth?
mdp.49015002078799	How much have you got?"
mdp.49015002078799	How the devil could I know anything?"
mdp.49015002078799	How would you fancy Mr. Beresford as an ex- convict?"
mdp.49015002078799	How's your mother, Jardine?
mdp.49015002078799	How?"
mdp.49015002078799	However — you know nothing of him except as his landlady in Paris and his housekeeper here?"
mdp.49015002078799	I did n't want to read it, but here it is:"I suppose she really did shoot him, and it was n't Pugsley, after all?
mdp.49015002078799	I do n't care for anonymous people — is that the right word?
mdp.49015002078799	I do n't know whether you heard of something that happened at Beresford's party?
mdp.49015002078799	I do n't suppose even a Scotand Yard man can do what Fisher can't — conjure up evidence where none is —""None?"
mdp.49015002078799	I hope your Mr. Wotsisname is n't taking it all down?"
mdp.49015002078799	I know what you'll say —""Then you really were a prison doctor?"
mdp.49015002078799	I mean — who found it, and when?"
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose I can take my pyjamas and a clean shirt?"
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose it's in the garage?
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose you did call to say something about the case?"
mdp.49015002078799	I suppose, by the way, that you did n't see anything of Beresford and whoever was with him?"
mdp.49015002078799	I tackled Jar- dine —""That was before you knew Beresford had been put out?"
mdp.49015002078799	I think so, but per- haps not quite all, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	I throw up a commission which has lost its point now that Beresford's dead —""What d'you mean by that?"
mdp.49015002078799	I would drop it on the only dirty spot, would n't I?"
mdp.49015002078799	I'd have loved to see you tackling the yellow- haired housekeeper whom Mapperley wrongly thought to be a tart —""Wrongly?"
mdp.49015002078799	I'll go as far as to have a yarn with Trahair and that Doctor with the curious name — Lose, was n't it?"
mdp.49015002078799	I'll go one step further, Doctor, and ask whether you were ever the medical officer of a prison?"
mdp.49015002078799	I'm afraid I have n't any ideas at THE EERIE EYE 211 introduce you at Menadon?
mdp.49015002078799	I'm what's called a private detective —""The devil you are?
mdp.49015002078799	If Beresford died in a struggle where he was the aggressor, what reason for secrecy?
mdp.49015002078799	If I go digging around —""Well?"
mdp.49015002078799	If he had any special reason for disliking Beresford — Had he?"
mdp.49015002078799	If so, Jardine — couldn't you drive them over?"
mdp.49015002078799	If we could have a talk with them —?"
mdp.49015002078799	If you really can remember nothing, it would n't be a bad idea to take Fisher's advice and see your lawyer —""Old Trevanion?
mdp.49015002078799	If you're staying in Castle- Dinas, why not here?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is Fisher going to arrest him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is he the reason why you came to this God- forsaken hole, Tony?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is n't that so?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is that a compliment?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is that all right?"
mdp.49015002078799	Is that so?"
mdp.49015002078799	It could n't have been Mr. Jar- dine made the noise — and went upstairs before you were aware?"
mdp.49015002078799	It means that whoever killed Beresford — or rather, whoever was with him here last night — must have been well ac- quainted with the country?"
mdp.49015002078799	It was n't?
mdp.49015002078799	It would be quite unusual?"
mdp.49015002078799	It would be too awful —""Yes, Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	It's this: I suppose nobody by any chance thought of taking his finger- prints?"
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine coming in?
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine may: I suppose you told him last night, if not before?
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine said,"Did it?
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine's clear — or, well, is he?"
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine, had you ever any trans- actions with a man named Pugsley?"
mdp.49015002078799	Jardine?"
mdp.49015002078799	Just by cancelling out all the rest?"
mdp.49015002078799	Just like that?
mdp.49015002078799	Katherine said,"How do you do?"
mdp.49015002078799	Katherine said,'I wonder whether you'd mind getting it now?
mdp.49015002078799	Know who killed him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Leaning back in his chair he blew a large cloud of smoke to the ceiling and said,"Well, Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Leave it till after?"
mdp.49015002078799	Let's have him in, shall we?"
mdp.49015002078799	Let's leave it at that, shall we?"
mdp.49015002078799	Like to come and have a look?"
mdp.49015002078799	Mapperley hailed Tolefree:"What do you think of our dungeons?
mdp.49015002078799	Mapperley put in,"Has anyone told Tolefree about Feast Day?"
mdp.49015002078799	May we know what it is?"
mdp.49015002078799	Might have seen him at some hotel out there, Lose?"
mdp.49015002078799	Mrs. Young indignant with Beresford because of a blackmail plot?
mdp.49015002078799	No answer?
mdp.49015002078799	No doubt you've heard of them?
mdp.49015002078799	No idea what man — or where?"
mdp.49015002078799	No?
mdp.49015002078799	No?
mdp.49015002078799	No?
mdp.49015002078799	Notice the scarecrow who drank cocktails for a pastime?"
mdp.49015002078799	Now the cat's out of the bag, what about it?
mdp.49015002078799	Now — shall we go and find the others?"
mdp.49015002078799	Now — the inquest?
mdp.49015002078799	Now, shall we be frank?
mdp.49015002078799	Now, where have I heard that name?
mdp.49015002078799	Of course I mean, Who killed the Mys- tery Man?"
mdp.49015002078799	Of course, you've confided your mystery to him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Oh, you mean if he was doped?
mdp.49015002078799	Once more, will you cut the cackle?
mdp.49015002078799	Or did you know of any other reason?"
mdp.49015002078799	Or do you want to masticate Trahair's story?"
mdp.49015002078799	Or was it mere indifference?
mdp.49015002078799	Ought I to have told him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Per- haps, Mr. Tolefree, you could describe him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Perhaps you had n't thought of cigarettes?"
mdp.49015002078799	Pierce said,"Did you say something about an atmosphere?"
mdp.49015002078799	Pierce said,"Why not?
mdp.49015002078799	Pipe?
mdp.49015002078799	Playing off his disgrace against their wealth and position?
mdp.49015002078799	Pugsley was the man, was n't he?"
mdp.49015002078799	Pugsley — you did hunt for him in Paris, did n't you?"
mdp.49015002078799	Pugsley, Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Pugsley?"
mdp.49015002078799	Pugsley?"
mdp.49015002078799	Relations with that skate?
mdp.49015002078799	Remem- ber our friend Pugsley's trip up the Nile, Sharpe — at the cocktail party?—and Beresford mentioning that he'd spent seven years abroad?"
mdp.49015002078799	See you at lunch?"
mdp.49015002078799	Shall I have her in?
mdp.49015002078799	Shall I pack now?"
mdp.49015002078799	Shall I tell the doctor you're back?"
mdp.49015002078799	Shall we have another ten minutes?"
mdp.49015002078799	Shall we stroll that way?"
mdp.49015002078799	Sharpe rose, passed him with a grin, and departed, saying,"What shall I give you?
mdp.49015002078799	Sharpe said dubiously,"If we give him Pugsley —""We'll have to give him the rest?
mdp.49015002078799	Sharpe said, steadily,"Translate all that into English, will you, Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Sharpe wanted to know what the scarf had to do with him?
mdp.49015002078799	Shoot himself?"
mdp.49015002078799	Should they call it a day and go along to Carnmarth, whither Sharpe was already driving Dr. Mapperley?
mdp.49015002078799	Sleep, which covereth a man like a cloak — you know your Sancho Panza?
mdp.49015002078799	So that, if Beresford did happen to be the man you'd met, a consequence would attach to the recognition?"
mdp.49015002078799	So urgently that you had to take a long drive after midnight, and yet not so urgently that you took, let's say, six or seven hours to fetch it?"
mdp.49015002078799	So where is your revolver now?"
mdp.49015002078799	So, Mr. Pugsley — that was n't an accidental shot, was it?
mdp.49015002078799	So, plunge, will you?
mdp.49015002078799	So, you've never seen him except here in Castle- Dinas?"
mdp.49015002078799	Sponging on them?
mdp.49015002078799	Suppose that after he passed you he encountered Lowell, following?
mdp.49015002078799	THE EERIE EYE 13"Think he's conscious of anything unusual at his brother- in- law's?"
mdp.49015002078799	THE EERIE EYE 131"Well — and that's all you know of Pugsley?
mdp.49015002078799	THE EERIE EYE 147"Oh?"
mdp.49015002078799	THE EERIE EYE 177"You're in a deuce of a hurry to get me under lock and key, are n't you?
mdp.49015002078799	THEEERIEEYE 153 There's a suggestion that you may have met Beresford in the past?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tacitus, was n't it? — said immoderate candour leads to ruin?
mdp.49015002078799	Tacitus, was n't it? — said immoderate candour leads to ruin?
mdp.49015002078799	That is, if I may?"
mdp.49015002078799	That ought to do, Fisher?"
mdp.49015002078799	That was all you did last night?—drove home, slept there, brought the book back between six and seven this morning?"
mdp.49015002078799	That would be a good working theory, but for one thing —""Which is?"
mdp.49015002078799	That's a slight exaggeration, eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	That's quite understood?"
mdp.49015002078799	That's so?"
mdp.49015002078799	The accomplished traveller, educated man, THE EERIE EYE 205 rolling in riches?
mdp.49015002078799	The first one is, Have you a revolver?"
mdp.49015002078799	The girl had asked,"What have you two been wagering about?
mdp.49015002078799	The happy man?
mdp.49015002078799	The most painful thing I've ever struck?
mdp.49015002078799	The ostensible reason for her resignation?
mdp.49015002078799	The personage came up to the table towards the end of THE EERIE EYE 37 their lunch, saying,"Hello, Mapperley — may I have my coffee with you?"
mdp.49015002078799	The pet dipsomaniac of Castle- Dinas?"
mdp.49015002078799	The six- thirty train, I suppose?
mdp.49015002078799	The woman's story — it's a confession —""Confession?
mdp.49015002078799	Then Pierce said,"Who was it that telephoned?"
mdp.49015002078799	Then he said,"Unless the tables were turned?
mdp.49015002078799	Then he said,"Well?—I suppose you chased me up with a purpose?"
mdp.49015002078799	There was no bigamy, was there?
mdp.49015002078799	There was something between Kath- erine and Beresford —"Sharpe put in his first word:"What d'you mean?
mdp.49015002078799	There's nothing more about the Lowells that you know?"
mdp.49015002078799	These were strange proceedings outside a sleeping country house at two a.m. Or were they?
mdp.49015002078799	Third card: What was the book?"
mdp.49015002078799	This is Christopher Sharpe, Tolefree THE EERIE EYE 31 — sort of satellite of Doctor Mapperley, or do I mean acolyte?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree exclaimed in surprise: how did Pierce know where he was?
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree said,"Shall I disappear?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree said,"Well, Pugsley's not lacking a champion, eh?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree — can you make any sense of it?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree's exclamation was a mere whisper:"Where?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree, returning Sharpe's glance, answered him:"Doctor Mapperley interested in criminology?
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Trahair — do you still say,* Keep out'?
mdp.49015002078799	Trahair?'"
mdp.49015002078799	Tried a bit of desert painting — made nothing of it — Beresford?—did he ever pretend he'd met me in the East?"
mdp.49015002078799	Understand?"
mdp.49015002078799	Was he a relative of the Mapperleys or the Lowells?
mdp.49015002078799	Was it un- usual with him?"
mdp.49015002078799	Was it?
mdp.49015002078799	Was n't he the cause of all the trouble between her and Jardine?
mdp.49015002078799	Was n't it queer on a night of jollification?
mdp.49015002078799	Was that the idea?"
mdp.49015002078799	Well — anything else?"
mdp.49015002078799	Well, why worry?
mdp.49015002078799	Were you thinking of burglars again?"
mdp.49015002078799	What about yours?
mdp.49015002078799	What are you doing about the train to- morrow?
mdp.49015002078799	What could be more to a lazy man's liking?"
mdp.49015002078799	What d'you propose to do?"
mdp.49015002078799	What d'you want to know?"
mdp.49015002078799	What did Katherine mean by lying to him?
mdp.49015002078799	What did Mapperley hope for if he kept everything up his sleeve?
mdp.49015002078799	What did we want of a detective prying into our affairs?
mdp.49015002078799	What did you ex- pect?"
mdp.49015002078799	What did you think of the party?"
mdp.49015002078799	What did you want with her?"
mdp.49015002078799	What do they think of the outlook there, Jar- dine?"
mdp.49015002078799	What do you mean by private justice?"
mdp.49015002078799	What if they were left by a scarf or handkerchief bound round the wound during a journey by car and then taken off?
mdp.49015002078799	What is it you want?"
mdp.49015002078799	What is it?"
mdp.49015002078799	What is it?"
mdp.49015002078799	What is it?"
mdp.49015002078799	What is it?"
mdp.49015002078799	What made you go to that rock?"
mdp.49015002078799	What motive could I have had?"
mdp.49015002078799	What the deuce d'you mean?"
mdp.49015002078799	What the devil d'you mean?"
mdp.49015002078799	What the dickens is the murder to me — or am I to the murder?
mdp.49015002078799	What time?"
mdp.49015002078799	What was happening when you reached the garage?"
mdp.49015002078799	What was it?—just a joy- ride in your pleasant company?
mdp.49015002078799	What would you say if I could prove that Lowell had n't an alibi?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's Mrs. Young hiding?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's he been up to?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's he think- ing at this moment?
mdp.49015002078799	What's it mean?
mdp.49015002078799	What's my revolver got to do with you, anyhow?
mdp.49015002078799	What's that?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's the causation there?
mdp.49015002078799	What's the distance?—four or five hundred yards?
mdp.49015002078799	What's the other string to your bow?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's the reason for making this hell of a state- ment, Fisher?
mdp.49015002078799	What's the trouble?"
mdp.49015002078799	What's your opinion?
mdp.49015002078799	When I said,'Are 10 THE CORPSE WITH you going to see the Mystery Man?'
mdp.49015002078799	When Trahair had gone, Mapperley said,"Tolefree — bed- time for you?
mdp.49015002078799	When they find out that you drove Lowell's car, they'll say, Hello, what's this?
mdp.49015002078799	When would it be convenient?"
mdp.49015002078799	Where the Fates propel, there let us follow, eh?
mdp.49015002078799	Where was that?"
mdp.49015002078799	Where was that?"
mdp.49015002078799	Where were 2l8 THE CORPSE WITH you between midnight and two in the morning after the Feast Day ceremonies?"
mdp.49015002078799	Which shall it be?"
mdp.49015002078799	Who could say what he would do in circumstances he's never encountered?"
mdp.49015002078799	Who knows?"
mdp.49015002078799	Who was it?"
mdp.49015002078799	Who's the arbiter of truth and justice here?
mdp.49015002078799	Why Goonbarrow Downs?
mdp.49015002078799	Why ask superfluous questions and answer'em yourself?
mdp.49015002078799	Why bother?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why did anyone figuring in the Castle- Dinas affair go to London so hastily?
mdp.49015002078799	Why did he fuss about noises?
mdp.49015002078799	Why did he throw that party?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why did she kill Beresford?
mdp.49015002078799	Why do you want a car to do that, though?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why in Heaven's name did he pull him in?
mdp.49015002078799	Why keep Tolefree there and pull wool over his eyes?
mdp.49015002078799	Why not, Tolefree?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why should I be?
mdp.49015002078799	Why should I?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why should n't Jardine drive home that way?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why the escape of Mrs. Young?
mdp.49015002078799	Why the letter?
mdp.49015002078799	Why this exactitude?"
mdp.49015002078799	Why worry?
mdp.49015002078799	Why?
mdp.49015002078799	Will it make any differ- ence to you?"
mdp.49015002078799	Will that do?"
mdp.49015002078799	Will you answer a few questions?"
mdp.49015002078799	Will you drop it and talk plain English?"
mdp.49015002078799	Will you forgive candour too?
mdp.49015002078799	Will you listen in?"
mdp.49015002078799	Will you smoke a cigarette?
mdp.49015002078799	Wo n't you be a little more — er — specific?"
mdp.49015002078799	Would it be too much to ask if you're here on business — or on pleasure?"
mdp.49015002078799	Would you?"
mdp.49015002078799	Yes?
mdp.49015002078799	You agree, Sharpe?"
mdp.49015002078799	You ca n't fill in details?"
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't answer that?
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't care to tell me where it is?"
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't deny it?
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't know Mr. Tolefree?
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't know what Fisher thinks he's found?"
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't know who that somebody was?"
mdp.49015002078799	You do n't think that excessive?
mdp.49015002078799	You got anything fresh?"
mdp.49015002078799	You heard what the constable said?
mdp.49015002078799	You knew I found it under that rock you took me to?"
mdp.49015002078799	You knew Trahair suggested me to him?
mdp.49015002078799	You knew this was Beresford —?"
mdp.49015002078799	You know that?"
mdp.49015002078799	You know who this chap was?"
mdp.49015002078799	You must n't ask me questions, you know —""Why not?
mdp.49015002078799	You remember the threads of silk?
mdp.49015002078799	You remember what I told you of Lose, the medico?
mdp.49015002078799	You think it is a mistake, do n't you?"
mdp.49015002078799	You were n't anywhere near Carnmarth on that night?"
mdp.49015002078799	You wo n't claim you knew he was dead until we got here?"
mdp.49015002078799	You wo n't expect me to go into mourning, will you?
mdp.49015002078799	You would n't tell if I did —""How the devil could I tell?"
mdp.49015002078799	You'll at least listen to what I have to say?"
mdp.49015002078799	You'll be wanting the car for the station — say, half- past nine, sir?"
mdp.49015002078799	You'll do nothing immediately with all this structure of supposition?"
mdp.49015002078799	You're not saying anything on that?
mdp.49015002078799	You're under no obligation to sleuth, are you?
mdp.49015002078799	Young?"
mdp.49015002078799	Young?"
mdp.49015002078799	Young?"
mdp.49015002078799	Young?"
mdp.49015002078799	Youngish for a housekeeper?"
mdp.49015002078799	at Westport down this way, do n't you?
mdp.49015002078799	can?
mdp.49015002078799	exclaimed the Superintendent,"coming to life?
mdp.49015002078799	he cried;"you've got something?"
mdp.49015002078799	he growled, glared for a moment or two, and said quietly,"Fisher — are you quite insane?"
mdp.49015002078799	—?"

msu.31293015831708	Ca n't you speak?
msu.31293015831708	Do n't you perceive, my dear Mrs. Maggot, that I'm engaged?
msu.31293015831708	Do you still refuse to make one? ” “ I have made one, ” replied Lady Trafford. msu.31293015831708 Do you wish to earn a rich reward, my good 180 JACK SHEPPARD 6 friend?"
msu.31293015831708	Had n't you better hold a moment's parley with the gentlemen before proceeding to extremities? ” suggested Jonathan. msu.31293015831708 Has Jack displeased you?
msu.31293015831708	Have you acquainted him with Lady Trafford's departure? ” said the knight, addressing Charcam with as much composure as he could assume. msu.31293015831708 He is respited?"
msu.31293015831708	Her ladyship will pass through it?
msu.31293015831708	How did you escape?
msu.31293015831708	How have you managed to communicate with him?
msu.31293015831708	How? ” exclaimed the other. msu.31293015831708 I shall want a bottle or two of sack, and a flask of usque- baugh. ”"Anything else, sir? ” “ No- stay!
msu.31293015831708	I should never have been what I am but for you. ”How so?"
msu.31293015831708	I'd lay down my life for yours. ” “ And you expect me to believe you after what has passed?
msu.31293015831708	In case of need, you will lend a helping hand?
msu.31293015831708	Is it a bargain?
msu.31293015831708	Is it indeed you, or am I dreaming?
msu.31293015831708	Is it you? ”. msu.31293015831708 Too proud, eh? ” rejoined the prize- fighter.
msu.31293015831708	Well, ” replied her son; “ and you'spurn the proposal? ”No; she accepts it,"rejoined Jonathan triumph- antly.
msu.31293015831708	What do you want for that coat, friend?
msu.31293015831708	What have you seen? ” inquired Lady Trafford. msu.31293015831708 What is all this, dear Winny?"
msu.31293015831708	What is he gone there for?
msu.31293015831708	Where are the boys?

msu.31293015831708	Why, you would n't stand in the way of his good fortune, surely? msu.31293015831708 Why- why would you not accept him?"
msu.31293015831708	Would you have had him spare my mother's murderer? ” cried Winifred. msu.31293015831708 You're not deceiving me?"

msu.31293015831708	66 JACK SHEPPARD 221 “ What is this to me, sir? ” said Trenchard, cutting him short.

msu.31293015831708	All concerned in the dark transaction have perished. ”"Are you sure of that? ” inquired Jackson.
msu.31293015831708	Am I quite hidden? ” “ Not quite;-keep your feet in.
msu.31293015831708	Am I to understand that you intend to plead guilty, Sir Rowland? ” he added.
msu.31293015831708	And how comes his cloak on this knave's shoulders?
msu.31293015831708	And it has been well for you that he imagines the child was drowned. ” “ Who is he?"
msu.31293015831708	And must another be added to their number — their son?
msu.31293015831708	And now my worst fears are realised- he lives? ” “ As yet,"returned Jonathan, with fearful emphasis.
msu.31293015831708	And now, sir, have I kept faith with you? ” “ You have,"replied Darrell.
msu.31293015831708	And now,"he con- tinued sternly, was it your master who has just ridden by? ”"No,"answered Quilt sullenly.
msu.31293015831708	And shall their wretched offspring live to blight my hopes and blast my fame?
msu.31293015831708	And so Misther Wood lives near the Black Lion, eh? ” “ He does, ” replied Thames.
msu.31293015831708	And so you really suspected me? ” murmured Mrs. Wood reproachfully, as they returned to the parlour.

msu.31293015831708	And what has happened to you, man, eh?
msu.31293015831708	And who or what shall give me comfort when my son is gone?
msu.31293015831708	Another glass, Jack?"
msu.31293015831708	Anything else?"
msu.31293015831708	Are we to see him here? ” “ Yes, my love."
msu.31293015831708	Are you Jack?"
msu.31293015831708	Are you now satisfied?"
msu.31293015831708	Are you quite sure it's flesh and blood? ” he asked, playfully pinching its arm till it cried out with pain.
msu.31293015831708	Are you quite sure you have n't another alyas, Masther Thames Ditton? ” Darrell, I tell you.
msu.31293015831708	Are you sure you're not misin- formed, sır?"
msu.31293015831708	At this juncture, the door was opened by Rachel “ What did you ring for, sir? ” she asked, eyeing the group with astonishment.
msu.31293015831708	But Am I mistaken?
msu.31293015831708	But about dat jonker, ” he continued, lowering his voice;"have you anything to add consarnin'him?
msu.31293015831708	But he ca n't have his eyes always about him, or he'd have been with us this morning at the Mint- eh, Mr. Jackson?"
msu.31293015831708	But suppose I've no place to lock'em up in, how then? ” Quilt looked a little perplexed.
msu.31293015831708	But tell me, ” he added, with much anxiety,"has nothing been heard of Thames since the night of my former escape?"
msu.31293015831708	But what brought you here? ” “ Excuse me, Sir Rowlaod.
msu.31293015831708	But what's to be done?"
msu.31293015831708	But why did n't you let me know they were coming?
msu.31293015831708	But why do you ask?"
msu.31293015831708	But you will stay here? ”"I dare not.
msu.31293015831708	But, if I were in your place, I know what I'd do"What what would you do? ” asked Hogarth eagerly.
msu.31293015831708	But, what is it?
msu.31293015831708	But, what of that?
msu.31293015831708	By- the- bye, my dear, I forgot to ask your name-- perhaps you'll oblige me with it now?
msu.31293015831708	Can I see him?"
msu.31293015831708	Can you do so? ” asked the other doubtfully.
msu.31293015831708	Can you inform us whence it came? ” “ I should think so."
msu.31293015831708	Can you make me not Jack Sheppard?"
msu.31293015831708	Can you not love him?"
msu.31293015831708	Captain, ” he cried, in a voice of the bitterest anguish, “ have these dogs again hunted you down?
msu.31293015831708	Company! ” echoed Rachel;"at this time of night? ” Company, child, ” repeated Kneebone.
msu.31293015831708	Concerning whom?"
msu.31293015831708	Could it be him you mean? ” JACK SHEPPARD 157 Beg “ No.
msu.31293015831708	D'ye hear? ” Still the widow remained silent.
msu.31293015831708	D'ye hear? ” “ Yes, yer hon's, ” replied the chairman, taking the note.
msu.31293015831708	D'ye suppose l'un always thinking of the petticoats?
msu.31293015831708	Dare we look back upon the darkened vista, and, in imagina- tion, retrace the path we have trod?
msu.31293015831708	David Pugh, do n't you know your old friend and countryman? ” exclaimed the carpenter.
msu.31293015831708	Do I, Bess, eh? ” 21/ JACK SHEPPARD “ Nobody whatever, love,"replied Edgeworth Bess; “ nobody but me, dear."
msu.31293015831708	Do n't you hear how you've made it cry? ” “ Throttle the kid! ” rejoined Blueskin fiercely.
msu.31293015831708	Do n't you know me, mother? ” “ Ah! ” shrieked Mrs. Sheppard."
msu.31293015831708	Do n't you see they're putting on their cloaks? ” “ That's false!"
msu.31293015831708	Do you accept it? ” “ Dear Thames!
msu.31293015831708	Do you comprehend what I say, Joan?"
msu.31293015831708	Do you hear me, sir?
msu.31293015831708	Do you know this, master? ” he added, taking a key from his pocket.
msu.31293015831708	Do you live here? ” “ Not exactly,"answered the carpenter.
msu.31293015831708	Do you promise to do this? ”"Solemnly,"rejoined the carpenter.
msu.31293015831708	Do you recollect to whom you gave it, and for what purpose?
msu.31293015831708	Do you remember what I said when you took me at the Mint four days ago?
msu.31293015831708	Do you think I forget it?
msu.31293015831708	Do you think he'll рау it?"
msu.31293015831708	D’ye hear how the wanes creaks on Old Winchester House?
msu.31293015831708	For what?"
msu.31293015831708	Has he givenr you the tools? ”"He has,"eplied Bess, producing the handkerchief.
msu.31293015831708	Has not the loved one been estranged by doubt, or snatched from us by the cold band of death?
msu.31293015831708	Have I your final answer? ” “ You have, Sir Rowland,"she answered, in a feeble tone, but firmly.
msu.31293015831708	Have yca no feeling for the situation of those poor disconsolate creatures, about to be bereaved of all they hold dear?
msu.31293015831708	Have you dared to insult this lady?
msu.31293015831708	Have you heard the name before?"
msu.31293015831708	Here we are, ” cried the chairmen, hurryiog out of the court with their swingiag vehicle, “ where is he?'
msu.31293015831708	How came you by the hurt, eh? ” “ How did I come by it? — that's a nate question.
msu.31293015831708	How came you by the hurt, eh? ” “ How did I come by it? — that's a nate question.
msu.31293015831708	How came you to know it?
msu.31293015831708	I advised you to take him as an apprentice, and, so far from getting the regular fee with him, to give him a salary?
msu.31293015831708	I hope I have n't given any unintentional offence? ” said the widow, again meekly appealing to Wood.
msu.31293015831708	I must finish it at home. ” “ Permit me to see it, Sir James? ” requested Jack.
msu.31293015831708	I need scarcely ask whether you've executed your appointed task, my dear?
msu.31293015831708	I'll take off your irons — for I guess that's the reason why you want the hammer and file- on one condition. ” 6 What is it?"
msu.31293015831708	I'm glad he's come to see me. ” “ You do n't inquire what brings Sir James Thornhill bere? ” said Austin.
msu.31293015831708	I've engaged to watch over you as a son, and I will do so as far as I'm able; but if you neglect my advice, what chance have I of benefit ing you?
msu.31293015831708	If he had got off, they might have hanged me, and welcome. ” “ What can be done for him? ” cried Thames.
msu.31293015831708	If not, I'll convey him to Saint Giles's Round- house on my own responsibility. ”"Is this your notable scheme? ” asked the knight scornfully.
msu.31293015831708	Is Thames returned from London? ”.
msu.31293015831708	Is it a serious accusation?"
msu.31293015831708	Is it nothing to part with a husband to the gallows?
msu.31293015831708	Is not the goal, towards which we pressed, farther off than ever- the prospect before us cheerless as the blank behind?
msu.31293015831708	Is your heart mine? ” “ It is- it is; and has ever been,"replied Winifred, falling upon his neck.
msu.31293015831708	Is your person in danger?"
msu.31293015831708	It ca n't be Captain Sheppard?"
msu.31293015831708	It is — it is my son! ” “ Mother! ” cried Thames;"are you indeed my mother?"
msu.31293015831708	It's almosht a pity to put him under de water"Is the sloop ready to sail?"
msu.31293015831708	It's plain be do n't understand our lingo; as, how should he?
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARD 143"Pray, let me have a pinch? ” said Edgeworth Bess, with a captivating glance.
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARD 153 “ Who are you?"
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARD 219- Take care “ What will you do?"
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARD 41 “ Well, what sort of journey have you had, Quilt? ” asked the man, as he hastened to assist Sir Rowland to dismount.
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARD I 21"Your own was equally so,"said Jackson ironically “ What if he did escape?"
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARD IOI"What's that you're saying about Jack Sheppard?"
msu.31293015831708	JACK SHEPPARI 185"A capital caricature that, ” remarked Thornhill, laughing “ What does Mr Kent say to it?"
msu.31293015831708	Jack? ” exclaimed Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	Jackson, I conclude, is merely an assumed name. ” “ What does it signify? ” returned the latter angrily.
msu.31293015831708	Kneebone's man is in the shop, ” said Rachel; “ he'll take it. ” “ Can I trust him? ” mused Jack.
msu.31293015831708	Lost no time on the road- eh?
msu.31293015831708	May I be permitted, as a very old and very dear friend of your lamented parent, whose loss I shall ever deplore, to ask you one question?"
msu.31293015831708	May I trust you? ” hesitated Thames.
msu.31293015831708	Might n't he just as reasonably complain of your being a Hanoverian and a Presbyterian?
msu.31293015831708	Mr. Kneebone, are these your French noblemen?"
msu.31293015831708	My business is with Lady Trafford. ”"Are you aware that I am her ladyship's brother? ” returned the knight.
msu.31293015831708	No, I do n't, either; be-"ause “ Well, Winny?"
msu.31293015831708	No, Sir Rowland. ”"Perhaps he is from Lord Derwentwater, or Mr. Forster?
msu.31293015831708	Nothing amiss, I trust? ” Nothing whatever, sir,"answered the widow.
msu.31293015831708	Now do you see his motive?"
msu.31293015831708	Now, the reward? ” “ I have but an ill- furnished purse.
msu.31293015831708	Now, will you stand aside?"
msu.31293015831708	Of whom? ” “ That I ca n't say,"replied Jack mysteriously.
msu.31293015831708	On 92 14% JACK SHEPPARD you make me other than a condemned felon?
msu.31293015831708	Only as a brother?"
msu.31293015831708	Open it directly. ” “ Are you alone? ” asked Jack, mimicking the voice of Kneebone.
msu.31293015831708	Or, are we not blighted in heart, as in ambition?
msu.31293015831708	Owen Wood, is it you? ” cried David, in astonishment.
msu.31293015831708	Perhaps you could point out such a party, Mr. Jackson?"
msu.31293015831708	Perhaps,"he added, opening a warrant,"you'll obey this mandate?"
msu.31293015831708	Pitt?"
msu.31293015831708	Promise me one thing before I leave you. ” “ What is it?"
msu.31293015831708	Quilt Arnold, my man, is it you?
msu.31293015831708	Remove him to the Middle Stone Hold- watch over him night and day, do you mind?"
msu.31293015831708	Shall I bring off anything? ” he added, looking eagerly around.
msu.31293015831708	Shall I put them into water?
msu.31293015831708	Shall I shoot him? ” “ Yes!
msu.31293015831708	Shall we turn back?"
msu.31293015831708	Shoplatch?"
msu.31293015831708	Shotbolt?"
msu.31293015831708	Shotbolt?"
msu.31293015831708	Since Jack has left us, what does it matter whether he's pleased or not? ” At this moment, a whistle was heard.
msu.31293015831708	Sir Rowland, ” he added in a deep whisper,"do you agree to my terms? ” “ I do,"answered Trenchard in the same tone.
msu.31293015831708	Some thing, I'm convinced, has happened to the boys. ” 202 JACK SHEPPARD “ Has Jonathan Wild been here to- day?"
msu.31293015831708	Take my child to — it is O God! — I am sinking- take it- take it! ” “ Where? ” shouted Wood.
msu.31293015831708	Tell me, sir, ” she added, with forced calmness, and grasping Wood's arm, “ what has Jack done?
msu.31293015831708	The other must call a coach as quickly as be can. ” “ For whom, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	The prodigious success of the “ Beggars?
msu.31293015831708	Then perhaps you can tell me when he intends to put his threat into execution?"
msu.31293015831708	There's one person in the house whom I would n't frighten for the world. ” “ Wood's daughter, I suppose? ” observed the other.
msu.31293015831708	They've paid for their lodging Where's Jonathan? ” Inquiries were instantly made after that individual, but he was nowbere to be found.
msu.31293015831708	Tol- de- rol I"“ Vot the devil are you about, noisy? ” inquired Abraham.
msu.31293015831708	Vot am I to do with these young imps, eh? ”"What you generally do with your prisoners, Mr. Sharples,"replied Quilt;"lock'em up."
msu.31293015831708	Vot are you?"
msu.31293015831708	Was anything missed after the lad's departure, Sir Rowland? ” “ Not that I am aware of, ” said the knight.
msu.31293015831708	We're two good- looking fellows, ai n't we? ” “ Very good- looking,"replied Rachel.
msu.31293015831708	Well, do n't go to bed, that's all. ” “ What for? ” demanded the turnkey.
msu.31293015831708	Well, sir? ” cried the other eagerly.
msu.31293015831708	Well, then, my dear,"he added aloud, “ do you still entertain the strong attachment you did to Captain Darrell?"
msu.31293015831708	Were Captain Darrell to offer you his hand, would you accept it?
msu.31293015831708	What am I to do to earn it?"
msu.31293015831708	What are you to do with a mad mother at a time when you need all your wits to take care of yourself?"
msu.31293015831708	What did you promise? ”"To offer you my heart, my hand, my life, ” replied Kneebone, falling at her feet.
msu.31293015831708	What do you know of Thames?
msu.31293015831708	What do you mean by calling me wretch, madam? ” she added, marching up to Mrs. Sheppard, and regarding her with an insolent and threatening glance.
msu.31293015831708	What female entered the house with us?"
msu.31293015831708	What has become of Jack Sheppard? ” “ Devil knows!"
msu.31293015831708	What has become of the other? ”.
msu.31293015831708	What has she to do with Constance Trenchard?"
msu.31293015831708	What have I left but despair and madness?
msu.31293015831708	What have you to say?"
msu.31293015831708	What is it?
msu.31293015831708	What is it?"
msu.31293015831708	What is this? ” cried Sir Rowland.
msu.31293015831708	What more could any reasonable man- especially a watchman- desire?
msu.31293015831708	What news?
msu.31293015831708	What of that?"
msu.31293015831708	What should I do here alone if I were an enemy?
msu.31293015831708	What was to hinder me, if I had been so inclined, from directing them to your retreat?"
msu.31293015831708	What will you give me to save you from your pursuers?"
msu.31293015831708	What's it like, Joan? ” “ It's a small key, with curiously- fashioned wards. ” “ It's mine, I'll be sworn,"rejoined Wood.
msu.31293015831708	What’s- your- name? ” “ Charcam, ” replied the attendant, bowing.
msu.31293015831708	Where are the aspirations that fired us- the passions that consumed us then?
msu.31293015831708	Where are the dreams of ambition in which, twelve years ago, we indulged?
msu.31293015831708	Where can I have heard it? ” “ Devil knows,"rejoined Blueskin.
msu.31293015831708	Where is Father Spencer?
msu.31293015831708	Where is Sir Rowland?"
msu.31293015831708	Where is he, sir?
msu.31293015831708	Where is he? ” “ Within this room, ” replied the knight.
msu.31293015831708	Where is he? ”"Do n't agitate yourself, dearest girl,"rejoined the woollen- draper, “ or I shall never be able to commence my relation."
msu.31293015831708	Where is he?"
msu.31293015831708	Where is it?"
msu.31293015831708	Where's Marvel? ” “ Here, sir,"replied the executioner.
msu.31293015831708	Which is the nearest way to the river? ” Why, it's an awkward road to direct you,"returned Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	Who but you would have dreamed of giving the boy such a name?
msu.31293015831708	Who took it thence?"
msu.31293015831708	Who, then?"
msu.31293015831708	Why did I not keep the money when I had it? ” returned Blueskin angrily.
msu.31293015831708	Why is the door fastened?
msu.31293015831708	Why was he there?
msu.31293015831708	Why, Nab, you shake as if you'd got an ague? ” he added, turning to the Jew, whose teeth chattered audibly.
msu.31293015831708	Why, how the devil did you happen to guess that?"
msu.31293015831708	Why, surely, you do n't mean Jack Sheppard? ” cried the woollen- draper in surprise.
msu.31293015831708	Why, what the devil would you hive had me to do!--make myself scarce, eh?
msu.31293015831708	Why, what will she say? ” inquired Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	Will he come down with the dues?
msu.31293015831708	Will that do? ” he added, returning it."
msu.31293015831708	Will that do? ” “ It will, ” replied Trenchard."
msu.31293015831708	Will that rouse you, coward? ” And she gave him a smart rap on the head.
msu.31293015831708	Will you go?
msu.31293015831708	Will you not, brother? ”"Promise, ” said a deep voice in Trenchard's ear.
msu.31293015831708	Will you tell her that? ”"I will,"replied Thames earnestly.
msu.31293015831708	Will you venture? ” “ It is a hazardous experiment,"said Thames, after a moment's reflection;"but I will make it.
msu.31293015831708	With his foodle doo? ” you refuse my toast? ” cried Jack impatiently.
msu.31293015831708	With his foodle doo? ” you refuse my toast? ” cried Jack impatiently.
msu.31293015831708	With how many vain hopes is it shaded?
msu.31293015831708	Wo n't you stir? ” “ Not a step, ” replied Langley gruffly.
msu.31293015831708	Wo n't you, Jack? ”"That I will,"answered Sheppard eagerly.
msu.31293015831708	Would you sell yourself to this fiend? ”* I would sell myself, body and soul, to save you,"rejoined his mother, bursting from his grasp.
msu.31293015831708	You believe it, father? ”.
msu.31293015831708	You can not depart hence. ”"Can not?"
msu.31293015831708	You do n't recollect me, I presume?"
msu.31293015831708	You do not believe his statement?"
msu.31293015831708	You have nothing more to fear from Wild. ” “ How so?"
msu.31293015831708	You hear what I say, Quilt? ” he added, looking at Jack.
msu.31293015831708	You informed Sir Rowland that Thames Darrell was returned?"
msu.31293015831708	You under- stand me, sirrah? ” “ Perfectly, ” replied Jack.
msu.31293015831708	You would n't rob Mr. Wild's chief janizary? ” “ I'd rob Mr. Wild himself if I met him,"retorted Jack.
msu.31293015831708	You've heard of the Marquis of Slaughterford, belike? ” “ Of course; wbo has not?
msu.31293015831708	You've heard of the Marquis of Slaughterford, belike? ” “ Of course; wbo has not?
msu.31293015831708	You've heard the news, I suppose? ” That the dead warrant's arrived, ” returned Edge- worth Bess, bursting into a flood of tears;"oh!
msu.31293015831708	Your husband could have told you that. ” “ How had he offended you? ” inquired the widow.
msu.31293015831708	Your laugh reminds me of- of- of- “ Whose, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	Your name? ” “ Owen Wood, ” replied the carpenter.

msu.31293015831708	and where are they? ” Ay, where are they?"
msu.31293015831708	and where are they? ” Ay, where are they?"
msu.31293015831708	asked Blueskin, with a disgusting leer;"cut a throat- or throw myself at your feet- eh, my dear?"
msu.31293015831708	been more successful, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	betray him??
msu.31293015831708	betray him??
msu.31293015831708	cried Wild, taking up the body, “ what are you afraid of?
msu.31293015831708	d'ye think I'm to be gam- moned by such nonsense?
msu.31293015831708	do you know what you do?
msu.31293015831708	do you think so? ” cried the host of the Trumpeter.
msu.31293015831708	do you trifle with me, sirrah? ” cried Rowland fiercely.
msu.31293015831708	exclaimed Mrs. Sheppard hastily;"is that the name? ”'Ay, ay, now I look again, it is Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	ha! ” 170 JACK SHEPPARD"A countryman of yours, Terry? ” “ Ay, and a noble one, too, Quilt- more's the pity!
msu.31293015831708	ha! ” “ Did he say so? ” cried Shotbolt.
msu.31293015831708	have you cut old Wood's throat? ” asked Wild with great unconcern, as he took up the bag.
msu.31293015831708	haw! ” “ Where is he?"
msu.31293015831708	he added, glancing suspiciously at the applicant, your business?"
msu.31293015831708	he told you that, did he? ” said Blueskin, marching up to her, and chucking her under the chin.
msu.31293015831708	his ghost, then?"
msu.31293015831708	ho! ” “ What are you doing here? ” demanded Thames.
msu.31293015831708	is this possible?"
msu.31293015831708	it can not be. ” “ Why not?"
msu.31293015831708	knows but this key may open a golden lock one of these days? ” And, picking it up, he thrust it into his pocket.
msu.31293015831708	ladyship any further commands? ” “ None whatever.
msu.31293015831708	let me be spared this new crime?
msu.31293015831708	mum still?
msu.31293015831708	or shall I refresh your memory? ” Wild appeared confounded.
msu.31293015831708	s Will you take a guidea for it?"
msu.31293015831708	say you so?
msu.31293015831708	that was all, was it? ” said the turnkey, quietly reseating himself.
msu.31293015831708	the rascal must have picked my pocket of your letters, ” whispered Kneebone, o What's to be done?"
msu.31293015831708	the way Mrs. Wood mentions? ” inquired Jackson, as soon as the clatter that succeeded Mr. Smith ’s melody had subsided.
msu.31293015831708	they are- are they?"
msu.31293015831708	tude; “ but are you really prepired? ” “ Quite- quite,"replied Winifred.
msu.31293015831708	what can I have done with it?
msu.31293015831708	what's all this? ” cried Wood.
msu.31293015831708	what's he doing here?"
msu.31293015831708	what's that? ” exclaimed a female voice, from an adjoining room.
msu.31293015831708	what's that? ” he cried, as the noise of a scuffle was heard behind them.
msu.31293015831708	what's this? ” cried Jonathan, in the utmost surprise.
msu.31293015831708	what's this? ” cried Wood, looking up from beneath his spectacles.
msu.31293015831708	what's this? ” demanded Blueskin, spring- ing to his feet.
msu.31293015831708	what's this? ” exclaimed the carpenter, looking at the superscription of one of them.
msu.31293015831708	where are the bailiffs?
msu.31293015831708	where is my gallant of high degree?'
msu.31293015831708	who have we here?"
msu.31293015831708	who's that? ” “ Your mother, ” replied Mrs. Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	why am I not obeyed? ” exclaimed the knight angrily.
msu.31293015831708	why did the tempter dare to invade that sacred spot?
msu.31293015831708	why do you call me by that e? ” “ Because you are my wother ” “ What! ” she exclaimed, staring eagerly in his face.
msu.31293015831708	with how many good resolu- tions, never fulfilled, is it paved?
msu.31293015831708	would you take him from me!--would you murder him?"
msu.31293015831708	yes, we are,'says he.—How so?'
msu.31293015831708	yes, we've heard it. ” “ How does Jack bear it?"
msu.31293015831708	you affect ignorance that I am a condemned felon, and can inherit nothing?
msu.31293015831708	you black devil!-Gone? ” cried Ireton, “ Iss, massa.
msu.31293015831708	you did, did you? ” said the janizary.
msu.31293015831708	you still hesitate?
msu.31293015831708	« Alone?"
msu.31293015831708	« With me? ” said Thames.
msu.31293015831708	· May I trust you? ” cried Thames eagerly.
msu.31293015831708	· Vot o'that? ” chuckled Abraham.
msu.31293015831708	‘ Shpeak up, vill you? ” cried Abraham, rapping his knuckles against the hatch.
msu.31293015831708	“ A good deal has occurred since then, eh, captain? ” said Blueskin, nudging Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ Ah! ” exclaimed Mrs. Sheppard, are you come to renew your terrible proposals?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Aha! ” exclaimed Jack, with a roguish wink,"I've caught you- have I?
msu.31293015831708	“ Aliva, your child perished with its father. ” “ And by whom were they both destroyed?"
msu.31293015831708	“ And disappoint Mr. Wild, captain? ” remonstrated the other, in a deferential tone.
msu.31293015831708	“ And does any of our bright blood flow in the veins of a ruffianly housebreaker? ” cried Trenchard, with a look of bewilderment.
msu.31293015831708	“ And have my escapes really made so much noise as to reach the ear of royalty? ” mused Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ And leave you thus?"
msu.31293015831708	“ And so we are to be summoned from our beds and snug firesides because a kid happens to squall, eh?
msu.31293015831708	“ And so you've given up all hope of escaping, eh, Jack? ” remarked Hogarth.
msu.31293015831708	“ And the rings? ” “ Ja. ” “ That's well.
msu.31293015831708	“ And the will? ” he said, with forced calmness.
msu.31293015831708	“ And what do you suppose we meant to do with you, eh? ” “ You mean to kill me, ” replied Thames, “ by my cruel uncle's command.
msu.31293015831708	“ And what good would that do? ” replied Ireton sarcastically “ To shoot you would be to lose the reward.
msu.31293015831708	“ And who is its mother? ” asked Jonathan, in an eager whisper.
msu.31293015831708	“ And who is this Van Gal- Gal- what's his outlandish pame?"
msu.31293015831708	“ And will you swear to it? ”"I will."
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you Mr. Jonathan Wild?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you answered? ” said Jonathan, with a grin worthy of a demon.
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you hurt, Thames? ” asked Jack anxiously “ Not dangerously, I hope,"returned Thames;- but fly- save yourself.'
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you my son?
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you not content with the crimes you have committed — but you must carry your villaing to this point?
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you not that man's mistress?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you sure of that? ” returned Winifred, look- ing uneasily at Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you sure these bars touch the ground? ” They come within a yard of it,"answered Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	“ Are you the mother of this child? ” inquired the person who had first spoken, addressing Mrs. Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	“ Blueskin?"
msu.31293015831708	“ But are you really there?"
msu.31293015831708	“ But pray tell me if her husband has escaped?"
msu.31293015831708	“ But vere'll be the use o'vinnin'?
msu.31293015831708	“ But wbere are the lurchers? ” “ Who? ” asked Wood.
msu.31293015831708	“ But wbere are the lurchers? ” “ Who? ” asked Wood.
msu.31293015831708	“ But where's the strange gentleman I saw under the table?"
msu.31293015831708	“ But you will- won't you?"
msu.31293015831708	“ By depriving him of'em, eh?
msu.31293015831708	“ By those who've conspired with me? ”"No!
msu.31293015831708	“ Ca n't I settle this business, captain?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Ca n't you take me with you? ” urged the voice;"I'll make it well worth your while.
msu.31293015831708	“ Can I help you, Jack? ” asked Thames, taking up a plane.
msu.31293015831708	“ Confusion! ” ejaculated Jonathan; can he have escaped?
msu.31293015831708	“ Dear me! ” she added, as she pledged the amorous woollen- draper, “ what a beautiful ring that is?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Death and hell! ” cried Sir Rowland, rising and drawing his sword; “ do you think you can shackle my free will, villain?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Devil seize the woman! ” growled the singer, 28 he brought his ditty to a close; “ will nothing tempt her out?
msu.31293015831708	“ Did I hear you aright?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Do me the favour to seat yourself, Jack? ” said Sir James.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do n't disturb yourself,"said his follower, motioning him to keep still; “ it's all right. ” “ What time is it? ” inquired Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do n't you hear those shouts?
msu.31293015831708	“ Do they treat you ill? ” asked her son.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you hear me?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you hear that?
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you know anything further of Sir Rowland?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you know this picture? ” he added, with another significant look, and pointing to the miniature.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you know what you are talking about, Mrs. Spurling?
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you not know me, father? ” said the young man, advancing towards him, and warmly grasping his hand.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you recollect this key?
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you see any likeness? ” “ Do n't I, ” returned Jack bitterly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you submit? ” interrogated Wild.
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you take me for as great a villain as yourself, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you think I'd take the trouble to announce him?
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you think I'm afeard of a beggarly thief- taker and his myrmidons?
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you think so?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Do you think we are to be disturbed in this way?
msu.31293015831708	“ Does that villain still maintain his power? ” asked the stranger sternly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Does your father doubt it?
msu.31293015831708	“ From Jonathan Wild's confidential servant what could be expected but treachery?"
msu.31293015831708	“ From Lady Trafford's, where I took the box. ”"Surely you have n't stolen it? ” “ Stolen's an awkward word.
msu.31293015831708	“ From your uncle, from my uncle-- Sir Rowland Trenchard. ” “ What means this idle boasting, villain? ” said Thames.
msu.31293015831708	“ Ha! ” exclaimed Trenchard, starting, “ is he so highly born?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Had n't Jack better go with us? ” said Thames.
msu.31293015831708	“ Halloa, widow! ” shouted a rough voice from below, “ where the devil are you? ” Mrs. Sheppard returned no answer.
msu.31293015831708	“ Halloa- what's that? ” cried Austin, starting up.
msu.31293015831708	“ Has any one been here? ” he asked.
msu.31293015831708	“ Has he escaped? ” asked the thief- taker faintly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Have I ever broken my word in such matters, that he dares to put the question? ” rejoined Jonathan sternly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Have you got Jonathan out of the way? ” he asked, in an eager whisper.
msu.31293015831708	“ Have you never an out- o'-the- vay corner into vich you couldg shtow these troublesome warmint?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Have you seen him? ” asked Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	“ Have you sent off the note? ” inquired Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ Have you told him so? ” she inquired reproachfully.
msu.31293015831708	“ He threatens, does he? ” “ More than that,"replied Kneebone;"I under- stand he drew a knife upon Jonathan, in a quarrel between them lately.
msu.31293015831708	“ His life- or yours? ”.
msu.31293015831708	“ How do you know he has any rights to be restored to?"
msu.31293015831708	“ How do you like your quarters, saucebox?"
msu.31293015831708	“ How do you manage that, Mr. Figg? ” asked Gay.
msu.31293015831708	“ How do you mean to act, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	“ How has he un- fastened his padlock?
msu.31293015831708	“ How have you contrived to still these troubled waters?"
msu.31293015831708	“ How have you procured these things? ” asked Thames, in the utmost astonishment.
msu.31293015831708	“ How much is there in it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ How soon do you expect Mishter Vudd? ” inquired the janizary tauntingly.
msu.31293015831708	“ How, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	“ How? ” cried her brother, starting.
msu.31293015831708	“ How? ” exclaimed Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	“ How?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Hum'"Have you any reason to suppose he survived the accident?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Hush! ” she said, in a low but agitated voice; “ would you earn this purse?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I ca n't see him — where is he? ” Here,"answered Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ I can escape to France. ” “ And do you think I'll allow you to depart, ” cried Jonathan, in a menacing tone,"and compromise my safety?
msu.31293015831708	“ I do n't ask you to liberate me, ” urged Thames; “ but will you convey a message for me? ” “ Where to, honey?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I do n't ask you to liberate me, ” urged Thames; “ but will you convey a message for me? ” “ Where to, honey?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I do n't see how I can improve it. ” “ May I look at it, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I do not see him? ”"De jonker?
msu.31293015831708	“ I do not see him? ”"De jonker?
msu.31293015831708	“ I do; and more than that, I expect you to thank me. ” “ For procuring my imprisonment? ” “ For saving your life.'
msu.31293015831708	“ I forgive him his disobedience. ” “ Will you do it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I knew it By- the- bye, Mr. Hogarth, did n't I see you last night at the ridotto with Lady Thornhill and her pretty daughter?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I suppose it did n't drop through the ceiling, did it?
msu.31293015831708	“ I will swear it upon the cross! ” “ His name, then?"
msu.31293015831708	“ I'm come to say good- bye to you, and to assure you of my safety before I leave this place. ”"Where are you going? ” asked his mother.
msu.31293015831708	“ If the best nag ever foaled were to throw me in this unlucky spot, I'd blow his brains out. ” “ What do you mean, sir? ” asked Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	“ If this is the case, where is she? ” “ In Bedlam,"replied the thief- taker with a Satanic grin.
msu.31293015831708	“ If you are human, ” rejoined Trenchard, with stern emphasis, “ I insist upon knowing whence you derived your information?"
msu.31293015831708	“ In case he should, I say, ” continued Thames,"will you promise to let Jack Sheppard take my place in your affections, Winny?"
msu.31293015831708	“ In whose favour is it made? ” be inquired sternly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Indeed!-who is it? ” “ Jack Sheppard."
msu.31293015831708	“ Is Mr Wood among them?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Is he alive? ” vociferated Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is he well? — is he safe?—is he coming back? ”.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is he well? — is he safe?—is he coming back? ”.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is it by lettin'you go, my darlin', that I'm to airn it? ” inquired Terence.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is it gold? ” “ Pure gold, ” replied Kneebone.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is it poison?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Is my house to be made a receptacle for all your natural children, sir?
msu.31293015831708	“ Is she alive? ” repeated the widow.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is she alive? ” “ She is not, ” replied Trenchard, overcome by con- flicting emotions, and unable to endure the boy's agonised look.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is she married? ” he asked, after a brief pause.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is she returned?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Is that all?
msu.31293015831708	“ Is that all? ” retorted Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is the case of watches on board? ” he asked in an andertone.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is the governor within?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Is the poor lady alive?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Is this Jack Sheppard?
msu.31293015831708	“ Is this Misther Wudd's, my pretty miss? ” de.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is this her work? ” “ It is, ” answered Thames.
msu.31293015831708	“ Is this true, sir?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Is your father alive? ” No,"returned Thames;"he was assassinated while I was an infant."
msu.31293015831708	“ It would be a thousand pities, would n't it, to put so promising a lad out of the way?"
msu.31293015831708	“ It'll ease your mind. ” “ Do you mock me? ” cried Jack, levelling a pistol at him.
msu.31293015831708	“ Jack's mother! ” exclaimed the young “ Gracious Heaven!--is she the inmate of a mad- house?"
msu.31293015831708	“ May I beg to know whom I've the pleasure of addressing?
msu.31293015831708	“ More than you'll pay for it, friend, ” snufled the Jew • How do you know that? ” rejoined Jack.
msu.31293015831708	“ Mother! ” cried the son—"help! ” “ What is this?"
msu.31293015831708	“ My name is Kaeebone,"added the portly personage, stepping forward “ What do you want with me?"
msu.31293015831708	“ My sister Constance! ” echoed the knight; “ what of her? ” “ You agree to my proposal, then? ” said Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	“ My sister Constance! ” echoed the knight; “ what of her? ” “ You agree to my proposal, then? ” said Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	“ No such thing,"rejoined the gaoler; “ he's coming on business. ”"On what business, in the name of wonder?"
msu.31293015831708	“ No- Sheppard?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Noblemen?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Now, step this Mr. What's your name? ” “ Shotbolt, sir,"replied the gaoler.
msu.31293015831708	“ Now, tell me why they brought you here?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Odd's my life what's that? ” he cried, greatly alarmed.
msu.31293015831708	“ Oh, you're here, are you?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Quilt Arnold, is that you?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Quilt! — Mendez! — Where are you? ” vociferated Wild, sounding his whistle for the third time.
msu.31293015831708	“ Shall I fetch it for you, sir? ” “ By all means,"replied the carpenter.
msu.31293015831708	“ Shall I fetch the light, captain?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Shall I help you on with it, sir? ” replied the Jew, becoming suddenly respectful.
msu.31293015831708	“ Shall I never see that sweet face again- never feel the pressure of those kind hands more-- nor listen to that gentle voice?
msu.31293015831708	“ Shall I take the babby home with me? ” persisted Wood, in a tone between jest and earnest.
msu.31293015831708	“ Shir Rowland Trenchard's affair--- eh?"."
msu.31293015831708	“ Suppose them so,"rejoined Jack, “ what then? ”"Nothing-- nothing,"stammered Kneebone, his prudence getting the better of his sympathy.
msu.31293015831708	“ That's an incorrigible rascal, ” he added, as Sheppard closed the door;"it's only to- day that I discovered- “ What?"
msu.31293015831708	“ That's the kinchin as was to try the dub for us, ai n't it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ The same who was here just now? ” “ No, Sir Rowland, a much finer boy."
msu.31293015831708	“ Them's catchpoles, I s'pose, sir, arter the gemman with a writ? ” he observed.
msu.31293015831708	“ Then I presume you've not been arrested?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Then this is not my child? ” she exclaimed, with increased astonishment.
msu.31293015831708	“ There's some one in the garden at this moment,"cried Jack; “ I saw a face at the window. ” • Where- where? ” cried Thames.
msu.31293015831708	“ Those terms were the third of my estate, ” observed Trenchard bitterly “ What of that?"
msu.31293015831708	“ To me? ” gasped Winifred."
msu.31293015831708	“ Vat ish it, Misther Vild?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Vill this do?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Von't you hear me?-- ough!
msu.31293015831708	“ Vouldn't it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Vy do n't you talk to your partner, or Saint Giles, if you vant conversation, Aaron? ” asked Jack slyly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Was that thunder? ” he faltered, as a terrible clap was heard overhead.
msu.31293015831708	“ Well, Jack, ” he said, after a pause, are you dis- posed to go back quietly with me?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Well, my pretty dears,"he added- come to see your husband, eh?
msu.31293015831708	“ Well, sir? ” gasped Sir Rowland.
msu.31293015831708	“ Were you present at the time of the robbery? ” pursued Jonathan.
msu.31293015831708	“ What are you doing with him?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What are you waiting for?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What can it matter to you whether he returns or not, child? ” rejoined Mrs. Wood sharply.
msu.31293015831708	“ What did the old fellow judge from, eh, Joan? ” he asked.
msu.31293015831708	“ What did you do? ” he asked, in a broken voice.
msu.31293015831708	“ What did you say to him? ” inquired Jonathan suspiciously.
msu.31293015831708	“ What do you expect to gain from this interview, Mr. Wild? ” demanded Trenchard, as if he had forined a sudden resolution.
msu.31293015831708	“ What do you mean by that, sirrah?
msu.31293015831708	“ What do you think of my sketch, Jack? ” said Hogarth, handing him the drawing."
msu.31293015831708	“ What does he say? ” roared the Long Drover, “ He says he do n't understand flash, ” replied the lady in gentleman's attire.
msu.31293015831708	“ What for?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What for?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What has caused this quarrel, Thames? ” asked the little girl anxiously.
msu.31293015831708	“ What has delayed you? ” demanded the knight impatiently.
msu.31293015831708	“ What is it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What motive can you have for so vile a deed? ” asked Mrs. Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	“ What motive have you for concealment? ” he demanded.
msu.31293015831708	“ What of her? ” exclaimed Jack, starting up.
msu.31293015831708	“ What of her?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What proof have you of the truth of this story? ” inquired Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	“ What right bave you to suppose this, sir? ” de- manded Trenchard sternly.
msu.31293015831708	“ What shall we do, Poll? ” hesitated Edgeworth Bess.
msu.31293015831708	“ What the devil are you about?
msu.31293015831708	“ What the devil are you howling about? ” cried Langley.
msu.31293015831708	“ What the devil makes you out so late?
msu.31293015831708	“ What threat?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What villain?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What's all this? ” exclaimed Wood, in amaze- ment.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's that to you? ” demanded Jonathan grufily.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's that to you? ” retorted Jack surlily.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's that you're taking to Sir Rowland Trenchard's? ” “ Only a box, sir, ” answered Sheppard, emptying the glass.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's that?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What's that?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What's the matter with the man?"
msu.31293015831708	“ What's the matter, father? ” continued the newcomer, addressing Wood.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's the matter? ” demanded Jonathan barshly.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's the matter? ” he cried.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's the matter? ” repeated Mrs. Wood, in a sharp tone.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's the meaning of all this? ” demanded Sir Cecil.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's this here kinchen in for? ” asked Terence, as he and Quilt strode along with Thames between them.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's to be done next? ” cried Blueskin, returning to Rachel, who was standing with Edgeworth Bess near the door.
msu.31293015831708	“ What's your name? ” he said, addressing the audacious lad, who was looking about him as coolly and if nothing material was going on.
msu.31293015831708	“ What? ” vociferated Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	“ When is he to suffer?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where am I to take it to?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where am I?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where are the assassins?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where are you going? ” cried Thames, who, though wholly disencumbered, was scarcely able to keep up with him.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where are you going?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where are you? ” “ Here,"replied Mrs. Wood.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where can I hide myself? ” he added, glancing round the room in search of a closet.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where did he get it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where did you find it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where did you get it? ” inquired Thames.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where did you get this from? ” asked Wild, greatly surprised at the result of his investigation.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where did you learn the song I heard just now? ” he demanded in an authoritative tone.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where is he, then?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where is he? ” he cried.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where is my mother? ” he added, re- garding the knight with a searching glance.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where is she? ” thundered Jonathan, who at this moment reached Mrs. Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where is the boy?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Where shall I fly? ” exclaimed the lady, bewildered with terror.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where to, master? ” asked Ben, touching his 66 woollen cap.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where's Thames? ” he hastily inquired.
msu.31293015831708	“ Where? ” she cried.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who are the others? ” “ Let me see.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who are they? ” inquired Sheppard.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who cares if we do?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Who is it, Bess? ” “ How should I know? ” replied Edgeworth Bess.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who is it, Bess? ” “ How should I know? ” replied Edgeworth Bess.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who is it?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Who told you this is his portrait? ” demanded Trenchard.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who's that queer cove in the full- bottomed wig? ” “ Attend to me, sirrah, ” rejoined Wild sternly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who's there?
msu.31293015831708	“ Who's there? ” cried Rachel."
msu.31293015831708	“ Who- who is the Marquis de Chatillon?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Who?
msu.31293015831708	“ Who? ” almost screamed Mrs. Wood.
msu.31293015831708	“ Who?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Whose child can this be? ” “ How the devil should I know? ” replied Jonathan grufily.
msu.31293015831708	“ Whose child can this be? ” “ How the devil should I know? ” replied Jonathan grufily.
msu.31293015831708	“ Whose grave is this? ” he inquired of a man who was standing near it.
msu.31293015831708	“ Whose house do you want, master? ” said the man, touching his hat.
msu.31293015831708	“ Why came she here?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Why did n't you come out when I called you, you young dog? ” cried Quilt in a savage tone.
msu.31293015831708	“ Why not? ” “ I'll tell you, ” cried a deep voice from the back of the bed.
msu.31293015831708	“ Why, surely you do n't think your guests would steal them? ” observed Rachel archly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Why, what the devil's this? ” vociferated Jonathan, looking up “ Have you broken out of the cage, Jack?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Why, what the devil's this? ” vociferated Jonathan, looking up “ Have you broken out of the cage, Jack?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Why, you do n't think as how they're crimps, do you?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Will he consent to be searched? ” inquired Jona- than.
msu.31293015831708	“ Will he post the cole?
msu.31293015831708	“ Will you be mine?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Will you plead? ” demanded Wild harshly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Without further fee? ” inquired the knight.
msu.31293015831708	“ Wo n't my life do as well as his? ” supplicated the other.
msu.31293015831708	“ Wo n't one from me do as well?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Wo n't you be persuaded, Joan? ” he added, making a similar offer to Mrs. Sheppard, which she gratefully declined.
msu.31293015831708	“ Wo n't you go? ” cried Jack passionately.
msu.31293015831708	“ Wo n't you take me?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Yes or No? ” “ I will make no terms with you,"rejoined Wild sternly.
msu.31293015831708	“ Yes — what do you mean, ma'am? ” added Jack, staggering after her.
msu.31293015831708	“ You have n't hurt your arm, I trust, my dear? ” he added anxiously.
msu.31293015831708	“ You shall have the sum you require, but- “ But what, madam? ” “ Do not misunderstand me, ” she proceeded.
msu.31293015831708	“ You soon shall,"rejoined Sheppard"Where are the packets committed to your charge by Sir Rowlaad Trenchard? ” “ The packets!"
msu.31293015831708	“ You tback Heaven for the escape of the man who did bis best to get your child's neck twisted. ” “ What do you mean?"
msu.31293015831708	“ You wo n't refuse it, Mr. Kneebone? ” “ He'd better not, ” muttered Blueskin.
msu.31293015831708	“ You'll take the consequences, then?"
msu.31293015831708	“ You're not come to insult me, Mr. Figg? ” said Jack peevishly.
msu.31293015831708	“ You're not hurt, I hope, Sir Rowland? ” inquired this individual.
msu.31293015831708	“ You've got him?."
msu.31293015831708	“ Your answer, gem'men?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Your business, sir?
msu.31293015831708	“ Your secret?"
msu.31293015831708	“ Your uncle — Sir Rowland? ” “ It is no idle boasting, ” replied the other."
msu.31293015831708	“ Zounds! ” exclaimed Quilt, “ did you kill him? ” “ Not quite, ” replied Terence, laughing;"but I brought him to his senses."
msu.31293015831708	” “ Have I said anything to offend you?"
msu.31293015831708	• To- night, your ladyship? ” ventured an elderly domestic.
msu.31293015831708	• Would you expose yourself to fresh risk?
msu.31293015831708	•Well, like or not, I'm greatly pleased with it, and must beg it from you as a memorial- 132 JACK SHEPPARD “ Of what?"

nyp.33433075799712	Are there many ways out of the Catacombs? ’ he said wistfully.

nyp.33433075799712	But how on earth does it affect this business which is worrying us? ” “ Dreams have never been explained by Sci- ence, ” said Adolphe solemnly.
nyp.33433075799712	But how the deuce am I to do it?
nyp.33433075799712	But is it my fault?...
nyp.33433075799712	But my digestion is so good that I hardly ever remember my dreams. ” “ Never? ” persisted Adolphe.
nyp.33433075799712	But what little railway station?
nyp.33433075799712	But where am I?...
nyp.33433075799712	But why have you gone into the corner?

nyp.33433075799712	Do you understand now?
nyp.33433075799712	Do you understand? ” “ Not quite, ” said Theophrastus apologeti- cally.
nyp.33433075799712	Had I not, before falling into this hole, bought half a dozen electric lamps of the latest pattern?
nyp.33433075799712	Have I made this first proof clear? ” “ Yes, yes: the second l ’ cried his fellow guests, quite untruthfully.
nyp.33433075799712	He had ceased to ask, “ Why am I in this house in Huchette Street? ” He had ceased to ask because no- body answered.
nyp.33433075799712	He says in a low voice, so low that she does not even hear him, “ Do you hear? ” Marceline holds her breath; she clutches her husband's icy hand.
nyp.33433075799712	He stood upright again with an air of relief and said: “ ‘ What are you doing now, Cartouche? ” “ ‘ Shamming dead.
nyp.33433075799712	Here?
nyp.33433075799712	His next question was: “ ‘ And where are you now, Cartouche? ” “ ‘ I am going down a little staircase at the end of Straw Alley...
nyp.33433075799712	How did he find his way?
nyp.33433075799712	How do you suppose I could have slept on straw in Straw Alley when it was the first time I had ever been in the Con- ciergerie?
nyp.33433075799712	I ca n't sleep two nights running in the same place... Where are the days when I had all Paris on- my side?

nyp.33433075799712	Indeed? ” said Theophrastus, eyeing him strangely.
nyp.33433075799712	Is it my fault that Cartouche did n't split? ’ “ ‘ But Cartouche was silent: why are you yelling? ” said M. de la Nox.

nyp.33433075799712	Is it my habit to keep things which do n't belong to me?
nyp.33433075799712	Is it the telephone, or the railway, or the motor- cars, or the Eiffel Tower? ” “ No, no! ” said Theophrastus quickly.
nyp.33433075799712	Is n’t it red? ” said Adolphe, leaning over me with the air of a doctor listening to the beating of a patient's heart.
nyp.33433075799712	Is n’t the date false?
nyp.33433075799712	Is that clear to you? ” “ Yes, yes, ” cried several of the guests, with- out understanding a word he was saying.
nyp.33433075799712	Is that so? ” said Theophras- tus quickly; and his heart began to beat tumultuously.
nyp.33433075799712	It will be easy enough for him to find the owners. ” “ And what am I to tell him? ” said Adolphe with a harried air.
nyp.33433075799712	It's Straw Alley! ’ ” “ He said that?

nyp.33433075799712	Or even Blanche, the Bustler?
nyp.33433075799712	Pres- ently he nodded his head sagely and said: “ Do you ever dream, Theophrastus? ” “ Do I ever dream?

nyp.33433075799712	Theophrastus paused in his reading and said, “ What on earth do they mean by their new Cartouche?
nyp.33433075799712	Was it that he had sunk into a deeper sleep?
nyp.33433075799712	Was it that the Theophras- THE MAN WITH THE BLACK FEATHER 167 tus of to- day had any connection with the Theophrastus of twenty years ago?
nyp.33433075799712	Well then, in clipping his ears, did I not demonstrate that there was no need to kill him?
nyp.33433075799712	What are we to do?
nyp.33433075799712	What can it mean? ” “ The first thing it means is that the treas- ure is to be found on the outskirts of Paris, of the Paris of that epoch.
nyp.33433075799712	What do my fingers want?
nyp.33433075799712	What do you mean? ” said Marceline and Theophrastus with one voice.
nyp.33433075799712	What good wind blows you here? ” he said in affectionate toneS.
nyp.33433075799712	What have you found out? ” cried Theophrastus in a panic- stricken tone as he sprang up to pore over the document.
nyp.33433075799712	What is good?
nyp.33433075799712	What is the origin of the old Frankish palace?
nyp.33433075799712	What is the thought of my fingers?
nyp.33433075799712	What is this theory of trans- formation except that living beings transform themselves into one another?
nyp.33433075799712	What is three quarters of a mile of bones out of three hundred and ten miles of Catacombs? ’ “ ‘ Not much,'he said with a deep sigh.
nyp.33433075799712	What should he O: What would you do?
nyp.33433075799712	What were those crimson flames below, in whose glow he walked, doing?
nyp.33433075799712	What will you have to drink?
nyp.33433075799712	What's he doing in your house, by the way, that skeleton, instead of resting quietly on Saint- Chaumont Hill?
nyp.33433075799712	When he began to deal with the calf's ears, Theophrastus cried, with angelic delight: “ The ears?
nyp.33433075799712	Whence does this man, or rather this shadow of a man, this sad shadow of a man, with his hands in his pockets, come?
nyp.33433075799712	Where are you going to?
nyp.33433075799712	Where are you now, Cartouche? ” “ ‘ I do n’t know quite what has happened, ’ said Theophrastus.
nyp.33433075799712	Where did he go?
nyp.33433075799712	Where did this end of a train come from?
nyp.33433075799712	Where have I seen it? ’ said I to myself; and Adolphe asked me the reason of my excitement.
nyp.33433075799712	Where is Uncle Tanton now?
nyp.33433075799712	Who THE MAN WITH THE BLACK FEATHER 47 can compare with her?
nyp.33433075799712	Who shall ever re- compose it?
nyp.33433075799712	Who shall ever repeat it?
nyp.33433075799712	Why do n't the idiots take them off it?
nyp.33433075799712	Why should he have spoken?
nyp.33433075799712	Why?
nyp.33433075799712	Would it not be stupid indeed to devote all my faculties to reviving the Theophrastus of twenty years ago?
nyp.33433075799712	You are not in despair by any chance, M. Longuet? ’ “ ‘ Not at all, M. Mifroid; I am only hungry.
nyp.33433075799712	You are still awake, are you — as late as this? ” said Theo- phrastus.
nyp.33433075799712	You can always become an ichthyophagus. ” “ ‘ What on earth is that? ” he said sus- piciously.
nyp.33433075799712	You died at the Gallows of Mont- faucon?'
nyp.33433075799712	You under- stand?
nyp.33433075799712	You will never be a good bustler. ” “ A good — what? ” “ A good bustler.
nyp.33433075799712	at La Belle Hélène's, who, you remember, kept the Heart tavern?
nyp.33433075799712	consequently... ” “ ‘ Consequently?...
nyp.33433075799712	what is that it lights up?'...
nyp.33433075799712	— what the deuce was here anyway except water?
nyp.33433075799712	“ Accomplished?
nyp.33433075799712	“ Am I really very sorry?
nyp.33433075799712	“ And I know his name, his family name. ” “ Ah, what is it? ” said Theophrastus anx- iously.
nyp.33433075799712	“ And how long is it before we come back into another body? ” asked Madame Bache.
nyp.33433075799712	“ And what are we going to do with them? ” said Adolphe in solemn tones.
nyp.33433075799712	“ And what else is there in the pockets of conjurors? ” cried Theophrastus with fresh violence.
nyp.33433075799712	“ And what has happened? ” said Marceline.
nyp.33433075799712	“ And what is your conception of my character, Adolphe P ’ “ ‘ Well, you wo n't be angry, if I ’m frank with you? ” he said, hesitating.
nyp.33433075799712	“ And you're not afraid of the eyes of a dead calf which look at you? ” said Theophrastus.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Are the four ladies here? ” “ Up you go! ” said Savard, who was waiting for these words.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Are you sure? ” “ Who could be surer than I? ” said Theo- phrastus calmly.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Are you sure? ” “ Who could be surer than I? ” said Theo- phrastus calmly.
nyp.33433075799712	“ But is this really an eighteenth- century paper?
nyp.33433075799712	“ Ca n't these silly fools see that the names are on the tip of my tongue, and wo n't come off it?
nyp.33433075799712	“ Do you know how much it is worth, Signor Petito, the Child ’s head?
nyp.33433075799712	“ Do you think I ’m colour- blind? ” “ ‘ Do n’t you know that this was the Place de Grève? ’ “ ‘ Zounds!
nyp.33433075799712	“ Do you think I ’m colour- blind? ” “ ‘ Do n’t you know that this was the Place de Grève? ’ “ ‘ Zounds!
nyp.33433075799712	“ He did not reply to that; he said, “ You were saying that Colbert on July 11, 1678 —?
nyp.33433075799712	“ How are you, Ambrose? ” said Theophras- tus gloomily.
nyp.33433075799712	“ How are you, Theophrastus?
nyp.33433075799712	“ How are you? ” said Adolphe cordially.
nyp.33433075799712	“ How could I have learnt to write unless I knew how to read?
nyp.33433075799712	“ How did my portrait get into this house? ” “ Your portrait? ” cried Adolphe.
nyp.33433075799712	“ How did my portrait get into this house? ” “ Your portrait? ” cried Adolphe.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Is n’t it? ” said Marceline.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Now why, I wonder, did I say ‘ You re- member'?
nyp.33433075799712	“ Sometimes?
nyp.33433075799712	“ The time has come! ” “ Where are you dragging me to? ” said Theophrastus.
nyp.33433075799712	“ What do you want me to do with them? ” said Theophrastus sharply, for he was recov- ering a little from the shock.
nyp.33433075799712	“ What had we been doing?
nyp.33433075799712	“ What is Signor Petito up to at Saint- Germain?
nyp.33433075799712	“ What is it?
nyp.33433075799712	“ What is it? ” said Marceline hoarsely.
nyp.33433075799712	“ What on earth ’s that? ” said the signal- man, opening his astonished eyes wider than eVer.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Where am I? ” cried Theophrastus tem- pestuously.
nyp.33433075799712	“ Who will ever be able to tell the age of that soil; who will ever be able to tell you the age of those stones?
nyp.33433075799712	“ You died in 1721 at the Gallows of Montfaucon?
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ And now what are they doing, Car- touche? ” said M. de la Nox.
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ And why do you shrink from these places and from this house in Vielle- du- Temple Street? ” he said.
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ And why not?'
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ Corpses? ’ “ ‘ Skeletons.
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ Is that so?'
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ Is that you, Simon the Auvergnat? ” he cried.
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ What things?'
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ What ’s the matter now, Cartouche? ” said M. de la Nox anxiously.
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ Who told you that piece of idiocy?'
nyp.33433075799712	“ ‘ You?

nyp.33433075768204	The gentleman would doubtless like a German house? ” he queried. nyp.33433075768204 Trouble with Haase again? ” She looked up at me and shook her head, her eyes brimming over.
nyp.33433075768204	Two? nyp.33433075768204 Well, where? ” I queried.
nyp.33433075768204	What is this I hear? ” he said. nyp.33433075768204 What of him?"
nyp.33433075768204	When I read the writing,'he told me,'I think he is all robbish, but then I ask myself, who shall put robbish in my invoices? nyp.33433075768204 Who are you? ” he asked almost in a whis- per.
nyp.33433075768204	,"Perhaps you knew Francis? ” I said in con- clusion.
nyp.33433075768204	... That sounds like a taunt, do n't you think, Dicky? ” said I.
nyp.33433075768204	... about his military service, about his papers?
nyp.33433075768204	..."“ But... but..."-the man was stam- mering now in his anxiety-"... you suc- ceeded?"
nyp.33433075768204	..."“ Guides? ” I said.
nyp.33433075768204	..."“ Her widowhood? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433075768204	..."“ Well?"
nyp.33433075768204	..."“ You've got it with you?"
nyp.33433075768204	A BACHELOR HUSBAND Can a woman love two men at the same time?
nyp.33433075768204	A Frenchman, eh? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433075768204	A SILVER STAR ACTS AS A CHARM 97 “ Where shall you be staying? ” he asked again.
nyp.33433075768204	A special?
nyp.33433075768204	Am I not thoughtful to have prepared this little surprise for you?
nyp.33433075768204	And he was shot at Spandau! ” “ Shot? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433075768204	And what good did they do me?
nyp.33433075768204	And who settled Schulte?
nyp.33433075768204	And who settled the other man?
nyp.33433075768204	And, above, all, was Monica herself at the Castle?
nyp.33433075768204	As a last hope, I dashed off that cipher on the spur of the moment and tucked it into old van U's invoice. ” “ But why"Achilles'with one'l'?"
nyp.33433075768204	As we entered, a petulant voice cried: “ Is that you, Monica?
nyp.33433075768204	But Francis?
nyp.33433075768204	But had I the right to sacrifice Monica?
nyp.33433075768204	But what prospect had he of ever returning — with the frontiers closed and ingress and egress practically barred even to pro- German neutrals?
nyp.33433075768204	But why did n't this English spy make a job of it and kill the scum?
nyp.33433075768204	But why up here?
nyp.33433075768204	By the way, you'll have to be registered?
nyp.33433075768204	Can I have a word with you?"
nyp.33433075768204	Can you beat it?"
nyp.33433075768204	Curiosity about your neighbor's af- fairs is a cardinal German failing, yet the Count I HEAR OF CLUBFOOT 105 had the other half?
nyp.33433075768204	Did he ever long for the sweets of home life?
nyp.33433075768204	Did he never envy those who have been medically rejected?
nyp.33433075768204	Do you know what happened to the interpreter at the internment camp, who was our go- between, who played us false by cutting the document in half?
nyp.33433075768204	Do you know what happened to the man that stole that docu- ment?
nyp.33433075768204	Do you remem- ber Meinhardt, Franz?
nyp.33433075768204	Do you suppose we care a fig for all the American ambassadors that ever left the States?
nyp.33433075768204	Do you think he'll recognize me?"
nyp.33433075768204	Do you think you could get me one?"
nyp.33433075768204	Do you understand that?
nyp.33433075768204	Eichenholz? ” Kore repeated.
nyp.33433075768204	Had I 42 THE MAN WITH THE CLUBFOOT the nerve to avail myself of Semlin's American passport to get into Germany?
nyp.33433075768204	Has my sister seen about it yet? ” I said she was attending to it.
nyp.33433075768204	Have you no idea?
nyp.33433075768204	He just vanished. ” “ When was this? ”.“Somewhere about the first week in July... it was the week of the bad news from France."
nyp.33433075768204	He's a very conventional man and his principles would never hear of me harboring a... a..."“ Spy?"
nyp.33433075768204	How can we serve the gentleman now?
nyp.33433075768204	How d'ye do?"
nyp.33433075768204	I devised a scheme and we tested it, but it failed. ” “ How?
nyp.33433075768204	I know nothing about German, but tell me, is that the hand of an educated German?
nyp.33433075768204	I met him outside and brought him right in here, as I know you would want me to, would n't you, dear?"
nyp.33433075768204	I said quickly in German:"What do you want with me?
nyp.33433075768204	I said,"and... and took charge of things generally, eh? ” Her little eyes snapped viciously.
nyp.33433075768204	I speak amongst ourselves, is it not so, gentlemen?
nyp.33433075768204	I think we should keep away from the Rhine, do n't you?
nyp.33433075768204	I will come straight back from the embassy and then go with Josef to the police.??
nyp.33433075768204	I will come straight back from the embassy and then go with Josef to the police.??
nyp.33433075768204	If only I could have warned you! ” “ What is Grundt doing here? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075768204	Is that clear? ” “ Perfectly."
nyp.33433075768204	It failed?"
nyp.33433075768204	Julius, there is trouble brew- ing for us! ” “ What do you mean? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075768204	MISS MARY PRENDERGAST 105 “ But how can I get away from here? ” I ob- jected.
nyp.33433075768204	Meyer???
nyp.33433075768204	Meyer???
nyp.33433075768204	Meyer???
nyp.33433075768204	Might I offer the Herr Doktor a glass of beer and a sandwich at our officers'casino here?"
nyp.33433075768204	No?
nyp.33433075768204	Nothing?
nyp.33433075768204	Now I must go back to the train. ” “ The Berlin train has gone, Herr Doktor, but...""The Berlin train gone? ” I said.
nyp.33433075768204	Now that I was on leave, if I were fit to travel, would I come to Groningen and see him?
nyp.33433075768204	Now, have you any suggestions? ” My brother acquiesced, as, indeed, he had in everything I had proposed since we met.
nyp.33433075768204	Or did der Stelze send him?"
nyp.33433075768204	Perhaps what?"
nyp.33433075768204	Say, am I to be left alone all the morning?"
nyp.33433075768204	Semlin? ” he said, in a perfectly emo- tionless voice, une voix blanche, as the French say, “ this is an unexpected pleasure.
nyp.33433075768204	Should I tell him the truth now?
nyp.33433075768204	Supposing, then, that this had happened to Francis( as, indeed, Red Tabs had hinted to me was the case) what course would he adopt?
nyp.33433075768204	THE LADY OF THE VOS IN'T TUINTJE 51"Coming at eight is he?"
nyp.33433075768204	THE MAN WITH THE CLUBFOOT in a voice from which all mirth had vanished, in accents of gloom: “ At this hour, Plessen?
nyp.33433075768204	THE PHANTOM LOVER Have you not often heard of someone being in love with love rather than the person they believed the object of their a affections?
nyp.33433075768204	That cigar is good, is it not?
nyp.33433075768204	That vast, black edifice, that slender tower at the cor- ner — did I not know them?
nyp.33433075768204	The English shot him too, on account of what was found in letters that came to him openly through the post?
nyp.33433075768204	The coast was clear, if I wanted to escape, but where could I go, without a paper or pass- port, a hunted man?
nyp.33433075768204	The fourth?
nyp.33433075768204	The gentleman is young and strong... has he been to the front?
nyp.33433075768204	The gentleman's papers?
nyp.33433075768204	The rich men's sons, perhaps, with clever fathers who know how to get what they want? ”.
nyp.33433075768204	The third?
nyp.33433075768204	Then he said curtly to a cringing secretary be- side him: “ Has he been searched?"
nyp.33433075768204	Then he said: “ Boonekamp! ” “ Boonekamp? ” I echoed stupidly.
nyp.33433075768204	Then you know, I left him. ” “ But, Monica,"I exclaimed, “ what are you doing here then? ” She sighed wearily.
nyp.33433075768204	They were am- bushed and slaughtered in cold blood. ” “ And the third man you spoke of? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075768204	Three Four thousand?
nyp.33433075768204	To whom was I thus bidden, sec- retly, in the night?
nyp.33433075768204	Was it not thanks to the interest she deigned to take in your safety that I came here?
nyp.33433075768204	Was it stand- to so soon?
nyp.33433075768204	Was it the thick black hair, the small dark moustache?
nyp.33433075768204	Was it the well- chiselled mouth?
nyp.33433075768204	Was life irk- some there?
nyp.33433075768204	What are his requirements?
nyp.33433075768204	What are you doing here? ” By this time I had elaborated the fable I had begun to tell in the corridor without.
nyp.33433075768204	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433075768204	What did the man mean by his veiled allusions to"all who interfere in other people's business?"
nyp.33433075768204	What did we manufac- ture?
nyp.33433075768204	What do you mean?
nyp.33433075768204	What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433075768204	What guarantee was there, I asked, that she would not be detained before she reached the frontier?
nyp.33433075768204	What mutual guaran- tees could we exchange that would give each of us the assurance of fair play?
nyp.33433075768204	What the devil's all this got to do with Francis?
nyp.33433075768204	What was I going to do about the body?
nyp.33433075768204	What was my firm?
nyp.33433075768204	What was your stratagem?"
nyp.33433075768204	What's going to happen to you, young feller my lad, when Madame comes along and finds you have a British passport?
nyp.33433075768204	What?
nyp.33433075768204	When did he come to the café?
nyp.33433075768204	Where is Dr. Grundt? ” he asked and his eyes dropped to my feet.
nyp.33433075768204	Where the deuce was it going to take me?
nyp.33433075768204	Who contrived the traps that sent them to their doom?
nyp.33433075768204	Who is it this time?
nyp.33433075768204	Who the devil was Stelze?
nyp.33433075768204	Why has he not come? ” Boldly I took the plunge.
nyp.33433075768204	Why was I coming to Germany at all?
nyp.33433075768204	Why, a British officer in Germany... is n't it too thrilling?"
nyp.33433075768204	Will that do? ” Clubfoot nodded assent.
nyp.33433075768204	Would be stop at the refuse bins behind which I cowered?
nyp.33433075768204	Would the clock never strike?
nyp.33433075768204	Would the gentle- men take anything before retiring?
nyp.33433075768204	and Where?
nyp.33433075768204	and he has simply walked into the trap. ” “ And Desmond?"
nyp.33433075768204	and"What?'
nyp.33433075768204	he cried in a voice that quivered with suppressed passion, “ terms?
nyp.33433075768204	how empty are thy leaves! ”: What, then, of the other two phrases?
nyp.33433075768204	how much? ” He brought his remarks to this abrupt anti- climax so suddenly that I was taken aback.
nyp.33433075768204	think you can trifle with the might of the Ger- vi man Empire?
nyp.33433075768204	what have they done to you to make you look like that? ” I gripped her wrist tightly.
nyp.33433075768204	you did n't know that either, did you?
nyp.33433075768204	you did n't know that, did you?
nyp.33433075768204	“ After all, why not? ”.
nyp.33433075768204	“ An American citizen? ” he said in an icy tone.
nyp.33433075768204	“ And then? ” I cried, trembling with curios- ity.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Another glass of wine?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Are you English?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ But your chauffeur,"I said, “ what will he do? ” “ Oh, Carter,"she answered carelessly,"he's tickled to death.
nyp.33433075768204	“ But, Des, ” she said, “ what do you want me to do?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ But, Monica,"I cried, “ what about you? ” She reddened deliciously under her pallor.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Dear Herbert,"I wrote,"would you mind looking after the en- closed until you hear from me again?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Desmond?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ Did it work all right, sir? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Do I give orders that they shall be forgotten?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Do you know what happened to those two gallant fellows? ” he said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Do you know who had Kore arrested and shot?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Do you mean arrested? ” I exclaimed, un- willing to believe the staggering news.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Does the gentleman want it now?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ Eichenholz?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Frau Gräfin? ” he queried, glancing at me.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Has it occurred to you, Herr Doktor,"I asked, “ that we have very little time at our dis- posal?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Has the gentleman an appointment? ” he said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Have n't you really a corner?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Have you had an accident?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ He was an English officer, you see? ” And I unfolded the little black book stamped with the Royal Arms.
nyp.33433075768204	“ How are you, Okewood?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ I'm in the dark. ” 198 THE MAN WITH THE CLUBFOOT “ Has the gentleman no little difficulty per- haps?
nyp.33433075768204	“ If us could drar his'tention away, yew could slip by, next time the patrols is past, could n't'ee?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ Is Herr Eugen Kore at home? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Is it a man's name, a place?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Is that Carter? ” I said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ It'd be worse for yew than for me, supposin'yew'd be ca- art, that's what t'other officer said, warn't it? ” And once more I nodded.
nyp.33433075768204	“ It's worthless... what good do you think is this to me?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ Kore? ” I echoed.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Looks bad for me, does n't it?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Monica! ” I interrupted swiftly,"have you any place to hide me?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Not a deserter, Herr? ” The Jew cringed at the word.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Now, what are we going to do with this?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ Philip Brewster?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Shall I tell you what was in that telegram they just brought me?
nyp.33433075768204	“ So Stelze called to- day and gave you his orders, did he?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ So,"I said, “ he is going to take... it on with him, is he?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ Surely you forget our gracious hostess, our most charming Countess?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Terms?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ That? ” she said, and she kicked the body with her foot.
nyp.33433075768204	“ The word? ” I said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Then where are they?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ There be a feller a- watching for us up there? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433075768204	“ This your brother?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Want a guide, sir? ” the man said in Ger- man.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Well, Herr Doktor,"he said, “ do you want me to start the bidding?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Well,'I said,'did it bite you or say"Gott strafe England, ” or what?'
nyp.33433075768204	“ Well? ” he said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Well? ” said a voice from the arm- chair.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Well?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ What affair do you mean? ” I said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ What am I to do at the end of that time? ” “ Leave it to me, ” Kore said craftily.
nyp.33433075768204	“ What do you suggest then? ” he said very sternly.
nyp.33433075768204	“ What have you done with Grundt?
nyp.33433075768204	“ What is Club- foot going to do about him? ”.
nyp.33433075768204	“ What is Schmalz jabbering about now?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ What part of America do you come from, Mr. Semlin? ” said a voice in perfect English from the corner.
nyp.33433075768204	“ What ’s all this rigmarole got to do with Francis, Dicky?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ What?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Who are you?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Who is it?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Why did n't you say that at once? ” he said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Why do men always take us women to be fools? ” she said.
nyp.33433075768204	“ Why has not Grundt come?
nyp.33433075768204	“ Why?"
nyp.33433075768204	“ You are going to Berlin? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075768204	“ You come in here from nowhere, you introduce yourself as Meyer; you ask me “ Who?'
nyp.33433075768204	“ You mean? ” “ I mean what I mean, young man, and what you mean, ” she replied.
nyp.33433075768204	“ You smoke? ” queried Clubfoot.
nyp.33433075768204	“ You will be quiet and come in here, do you under- stand?"
nyp.33433075768204	“'You mean the Emperor?'
nyp.33433076089626	43 “ Oh, Joel ” she whispered, “ is it you?
nyp.33433076089626	Hart- ley, what could have happened?

nyp.33433076089626	she never doubted you; and if my suspicions are cor- rect x* “ Edith? ” I interrupted,—“Edith? ” An Edith 62 X. V. Z.
nyp.33433076089626	“ Has Hartley told you just what you are to do? ” was her next remark.
nyp.33433076089626	“ Who are you? ” burst from Hartley's lips, now blanched to the color of clay.
nyp.33433076089626	“ Who are you? ” he abruptly asked.
nyp.33433076089626	“ You have not been expressing doubts of Mr. Ben- son's youngest son, because he happened to wear a disguise and be present when Mr. Ben- son fell?
nyp.33433074929336	224 Christopher Quarles “ Who could really think in a room like this? ” said Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	A coincidence?
nyp.33433074929336	A friend was helping him to get out of the country, and y 7 “ Who was the friend? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	Again, why had the murderer troubled to hide only one body?
nyp.33433074929336	Any- thing interesting? ” “ One case, or, rather, three cases in one. ” And I told him about the cyclists and the chauffeur.
nyp.33433074929336	Assuming this to be the work of an amateur, to what definite point does it lead you? ” “ To this question, ” I replied.
nyp.33433074929336	Besides, if he had been robbed of his jewels, why should the sapphire have been left?
nyp.33433074929336	But do you remember the day Lord Del- mouth married Lady Evelyn Malling?
nyp.33433074929336	By the way, when you're on holiday do you still keep your hip pocket filled? ” “ Yes, when I go on expeditions of this sort. ” “ Good!
nyp.33433074929336	Did he take it out of his pocket? ” “ No; he went out of the room, leaving me with Simon, who did n’t speak a word the whole time.
nyp.33433074929336	Did he?
nyp.33433074929336	Did n’t he tell you Simon Judd was buried?
nyp.33433074929336	Did the friend come? ” “ No. ” “ What was his name? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074929336	Did the friend come? ” “ No. ” “ What was his name? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074929336	Did they show any evidence of his having worked as a convict?
nyp.33433074929336	Did you meet Mary? ” ‘ ‘ No.
nyp.33433074929336	Did you particularly notice his eyes?
nyp.33433074929336	Did you see how he touched his head several times to- night? ” “ Yes. ” “ That gives the explanation, I think, ” said Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	Do n’t you remember his saying once that we ought to strive toward the heights, and see the truth which lies behind what we call truth?
nyp.33433074929336	Do n’t you see the clever- 216 Christopher Quarles ness?
nyp.33433074929336	Do we not all know that subtle doubt which comes even hand in hand with what we believe is conviction?
nyp.33433074929336	Do you go armed? ” “ Always, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074929336	Do you know Jacob Hartmann? ” “ No. ” “ A very pleasant man, I am told.
nyp.33433074929336	Do you know anything about this house? ” “ I believe part of it is old, ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	Do you remember who was there at the time? ” “ I did n’t notice.
nyp.33433074929336	Do you understand?
nyp.33433074929336	Do you? ” “ We might call upon him so as to leave no stone unturned.
nyp.33433074929336	Down the well?
nyp.33433074929336	Even if robbers had entered the room, how was Mr. Ratcliffe's death to be accounted for?
nyp.33433074929336	For three days he has not wanted my companionship, and never before do I remember so long an isolation. ” “ What is he doing? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	Further, why was Coulsdon found in the outer safe?
nyp.33433074929336	Had he any document which, for private or public reasons, someone might be anxious to obtain?
nyp.33433074929336	Had the locks of the strong- room doors been repaired recently? ” ‘ ‘ No.
nyp.33433074929336	Had the thief found what he was looking for?
nyp.33433074929336	Has he shown her the money? ” “ No. ” “ Then, I ask, what made Gilson haunt the farm!
nyp.33433074929336	Have you just come from the police sta- tion? ” “ No. ” “ I have reported one or two points, ” said Baker.
nyp.33433074929336	Have you the list of the books Hall was recommended to keep? ” I had.
nyp.33433074929336	He came back with the money in his hand. ” “ And then you left the farm? ” “ Yes; they did n’t offer me anything to eat or drink.
nyp.33433074929336	He did not vary them? ” ‘ ‘ Not once. ” Quarles turned and walked out of the room, and we followed him.
nyp.33433074929336	He gave them a chance which they lost by burying him. ” “ Then you believe Sims carried out his master's wishes? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	He has paid the premiums regularly, less commission. ’ ’ “ The premiums have been paid by check, I suppose? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074929336	He has sent me checks and asked me to send him notes for them. ” “ Where did those checks come from — I mean whose were they?
nyp.33433074929336	He realized that he was a stranger, and attacked him. ” “ But the head? ” “ Was among those hanging over the fire.
nyp.33433074929336	He was in a position of some im- portance. ” “ With regard to this gold reserve, how often is it examined? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	He would show her out himself. ” “ What was the lady like? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	How did he go to work?
nyp.33433074929336	How to get rid of him afterward?
nyp.33433074929336	I am inclined to think he will not be seen there again. ” “ How much do these bags of gold weigh? ” asked Zena thoughtfully.
nyp.33433074929336	I am told that the cyclists were also bruised about the temples. ” “ What had the doctor to say? ” “ Very little in the chauffeur's case.
nyp.33433074929336	I called here yesterday. ” “ Are you thinking that I had a hand in it? ” “ I am looking for her companion, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074929336	I come back to my question, then: Why was the police station rung up at all? ” I did not answer, and Baker shook his head in sym- pathy.
nyp.33433074929336	I do not remember. ” “ So late a visitor surprised you, of course? ” “ Only because the master was to be in the house so short a time.
nyp.33433074929336	I gather that you know Mrs. Barry- more personally? ” “ I saw her once or twice when she was a child.
nyp.33433074929336	I had n’t had such a sum to my name for years. ” “ Was the money given willingly? ” “ Not exactly willingly.
nyp.33433074929336	I have a copy of the list given in the will. ” “ Who witnessed the signature to the will? ” Quarles asked.
nyp.33433074929336	I sup- pose you can arrange for us to have access to Mr. Par- rish's house at Thornfield, Wigan? ” ‘ ‘ I will see about that, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074929336	I sup- pose you have n’t done this? ” “ No, Jardine has not seen his aunt, ” I answered, still irritably.
nyp.33433074929336	I think it will work all right. ” “ Will to- morrow be too soon to go? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	I think the murderer must have taken the head with him. ” “ To bury somewhere else? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	I think we will go to Per- shore next. ” “ How about Charles Eade? ” “ I expect he is in his office in West Street.
nyp.33433074929336	I understand that he would be in a position to give the necessary informa- tion if he chose to do so? ” “ That is true.
nyp.33433074929336	I was, therefore, not aware that he intended to leave him out of his will. ” “ You feel confident there was a will? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074929336	I wonder if Sims could explain this? ” Zena was leaning forward, her eyes fixed upon the professor, and I was thinking of a boot with a hollow heel.
nyp.33433074929336	I wonder whether there is any peril in such a jour- ney? ” I did not venture to answer.
nyp.33433074929336	I ’ve heard her laugh at him with the master. ” “ Is that the only dog about the place? ” said Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	I30 Christopher Quarles “ And the money, Jim — what has become of it? ” Still his only answer was a laugh.
nyp.33433074929336	I48 Christopher Quarles “ Did I not say the yacht had a queer feeling about her? ” he said in a whisper.
nyp.33433074929336	If I wanted to see her, would I send in my name?
nyp.33433074929336	If Simon Judd was dead, and his body was not in the well, where was it?
nyp.33433074929336	If the suggestion should take root, would they not at once search the galley?
nyp.33433074929336	In this case I am beaten so far, and I come to you. ” “ Why? ” “ For two reasons.
nyp.33433074929336	Is it not only natural they should be?
nyp.33433074929336	Is n’t that always considered the great point? ” “ This seems to be one of the exceptions which are supposed to prove the rule, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074929336	Is she out? ” “ Oh, you need not go.
nyp.33433074929336	Is that the story? ” “ It ’s all right now, ” he said solemnly.
nyp.33433074929336	Is the old girl willing to come to terms? ” “ I am in rather a difficult position, ” I answered, carefully feeling my way.
nyp.33433074929336	Is this wood you mention of any great extent? ” “ No, it runs beside the road for two or three hun- dred yards. ” “ Toward Withan º'?
nyp.33433074929336	Is this wood you mention of any great extent? ” “ No, it runs beside the road for two or three hun- dred yards. ” “ Toward Withan º'?
nyp.33433074929336	It is a possible view, eh? ” “ Perhaps. ” “ I see they have taken the paper, ” said Quarles; “ but I dare say you remember the wording.
nyp.33433074929336	It is difficult to see what time she would have to rob herself and conceal the spoil. ” “ Is Lord Leconbridge a poor man? ” Zena asked.
nyp.33433074929336	May I be- come a friendly adviser?
nyp.33433074929336	Might he not have left the house by the window?
nyp.33433074929336	No doubt Coleman saw Gilson; but do you suggest it was a premeditated crime? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074929336	No, my theory is quite different. ” “ May I hear what it is? ” “ I agree with Zena.
nyp.33433074929336	Nothing has happened to make you change that opinion? ” “ No, I hold to the one man theory. ” “ And you are right, ” he snapped.
nyp.33433074929336	Now were things generally found in unex- pected places?
nyp.33433074929336	Now, how was it Glider gave his secret away to the man in yonder cabin?
nyp.33433074929336	Now, what is he looking for? ’ ’ “ Presumably something a doctor is likely to have, ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	Now, what possessed Dr. Smith to go for a sail on that particular day and at that time of the day?
nyp.33433074929336	Of course, Portman may not be dead, but if he is alive why should he run the risk of a police search among his papers?
nyp.33433074929336	Of course, you are aware that we had to dismiss a clerk recently? ” The Affair of the Stolen Gold 203 “ Yes, who can not be found.
nyp.33433074929336	Perhaps we may help each other. ” “ You knew Mr. Ratcliffe? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	Portman did not mention it. ” “ Did you prepare the dinner? ” “ No. ” “ Why not? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	Portman did not mention it. ” “ Did you prepare the dinner? ” “ No. ” “ Why not? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	She is not to be found; that's all I know for certain. ” “ Where did Mrs. Harrison come from?
nyp.33433074929336	She wore a veil, so I could not see her face very clearly. ” “ Was she alone? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	So we watch her, and through her we shall presently catch her husband. ” “ And the assistant? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	The Identity of the Final Victim 21 “ And how soon was the alarm raised along the countryside? ” “ That night.
nyp.33433074929336	The early part of Jan- uary was dry, you will remember. ” “ There was a moon that night, was n't there? ” “ Full, or near it, ” I returned.
nyp.33433074929336	The gate is never used. ” “ Did Mrs. Fitzroy have many visitors? ” “ None to speak of.
nyp.33433074929336	The house is n’t isolated, is it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074929336	The mas- ter always did hate women. ” “ And you did this for him? ” “ Gladly, and I helped the undertaker lift him into the coffin.
nyp.33433074929336	The night before last — where was I?
nyp.33433074929336	There was some mystery — the professor had said as much — but surely he would not let his granddaughter run any risk?
nyp.33433074929336	They ’re afraid. ” “ Of What? ” “ Spirits. ” “ And of you, Jim — eh? ” The suggestion pleased him.
nyp.33433074929336	They ’re afraid. ” “ Of What? ” “ Spirits. ” “ And of you, Jim — eh? ” The suggestion pleased him.
nyp.33433074929336	Unless it were anything of the gravest impor- tance, would I mind coming again?
nyp.33433074929336	Was it not possible, he asked, that the mad owner of the car, believing that his chauffeur knew the truth, had killed him to protect himself?
nyp.33433074929336	Was it remarkable I should wonder if Mrs. Barrymore were responsible for the crimes here?
nyp.33433074929336	Was that in- formation obtained merely through somebody's indis- cretion?
nyp.33433074929336	Was there a doubt in their minds?
nyp.33433074929336	Was there any support to this theory to be found?
nyp.33433074929336	What danger could there be at Lantern House?
nyp.33433074929336	What do you think of the bibliomaniac idea? ” “ I suppose it goes to confirm your theory? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	What do you think of the bibliomaniac idea? ” “ I suppose it goes to confirm your theory? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	What is yours? ” “ Murray Wigan, ” I answered, and the next instant was wondering why I had told him.
nyp.33433074929336	What kind of man would be likely to want a head?
nyp.33433074929336	What kind of wounds? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074929336	What time does it grow dark now, constable? ” “ Early — half- past four, sir. ” “ I ’ll go, Wigan.
nyp.33433074929336	What was he lis- tening for?
nyp.33433074929336	What will they do? ” “ Release an innocent man. ” “ But to Jim 7 ” she whispered.
nyp.33433074929336	When I saw her a few days ago I said I would suggest this way to her. ” Mind?
nyp.33433074929336	Where does Isaacson live?
nyp.33433074929336	Where is he? ” “ Abroad, ” Quarles answered.
nyp.33433074929336	Where is it?
nyp.33433074929336	Who can explain either the cunning or forgetfulness of a madman?
nyp.33433074929336	Who could have taken them?
nyp.33433074929336	Who was she 3 ’ ’ “ I think she answered the mistress's advertisement. ” “ How long has she been here? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	Why had Coleman been recommended to mercy?
nyp.33433074929336	Why should a head be required?
nyp.33433074929336	Why should n’t the body have been left to come ashore too?
nyp.33433074929336	Why, then, should he be dragged into the safe?
nyp.33433074929336	Why?
nyp.33433074929336	Why? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	Will you trust me, Lord Leconbridge? ” “ Yes, ” came the firm answer, after a pause.
nyp.33433074929336	With- out such care and thought, would he live to become a man?
nyp.33433074929336	You did not say anything about golf in your wire. ” “ Why should I?
nyp.33433074929336	You must not use the weapon which chance has put into your hands. ”** Must not? ” The Diamond Necklace Scandal I71 “ It would be folly.
nyp.33433074929336	You notice that even the paper basket has not been emptied. ” “ May I open one or two drawers? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	You remember the cigarette end? ” “ Yes, it was a cheap kind. ” “ And foreign, ” said Quarles; “ Spagnolette Na- tionale.
nyp.33433074929336	You still think that?
nyp.33433074929336	You ’re not thinking she had anything to do with the murder, are you?
nyp.33433074929336	Your dis- appearance will hardly reach to a nine days ’ wonder, and who will think to look for your body under the flags of this cellar?
nyp.33433074929336	Your granddaughter is well, I trust? ” “ Yes, she is away.
nyp.33433074929336	‘ ‘ I wonder, Wigan — is that the clew? ” Quarles said quickly.
nyp.33433074929336	“ A gang at work, eh?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Are you sure Michael Hall is not guilty? ” asked Zena.
nyp.33433074929336	“ As if they had fallen out of the box when it was broken? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Broken? ” and he looked at the paper closely.
nyp.33433074929336	“ But how is it no one knew him? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ But how was the gold got away? ” said Zena.
nyp.33433074929336	“ But why bring such infernal weather with you?
nyp.33433074929336	“ By sitting at the gate you kept watch over it, I suppose?
nyp.33433074929336	“ By the way, Wigan, was n’t it foggy on the night of Portman's dis- appearance? ” “ It was, dear, ” said Zena.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Can you swim, Wigan? ” asked the professor.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Did Sir Joseph Maynard burgle his own house? ” “ Why should you think so? ” 36 Christopher Quarles “ His manner was curious.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Did Sir Joseph Maynard burgle his own house? ” “ Why should you think so? ” 36 Christopher Quarles “ His manner was curious.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Dine with him?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you intend to begin your search at once? ” Oglethorpe asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you know any of them who would be likely to do her an injury? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you know what he was looking for, Wigan? ” Quarles asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you mean for some treasured volume he possessed?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you remember meeting Mrs. Gilson? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you see, Wigan? ” Quarles asked again.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Do you think you could find me any of Mrs. Har- rison's handwriting? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Had you gone that way on purpose to see if it had come ashore? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Have you solved the riddle? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ He had pawned things before, had n’t he? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ He was watching for the man who murdered Peter Judd. ” “ Rather a fantastic conclusion, is n’t it? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ His purchases might be expected to increase in value? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ How about the garden door, yonder? ” The house was a corner one.
nyp.33433074929336	“ How far are we from Withan? ” he asked the driver.
nyp.33433074929336	“ I did not even know there was such a place as Ham- bledon Road. ” “ I am altogether astonished. ” “ And not for the first time, eh, Wigan?
nyp.33433074929336	“ I expect the body to come ashore pres- ently. ” “ How about the insurance? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ I presume that paper you have there, Wigan, is a copy of the wording of the will? ” “ Yes, ” and I handed it to him.
nyp.33433074929336	“ I suppose you were not due to dine with him on the following evening? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ I wonder whether this nephew has anything to do with the affair? ” I said contemplatively.
nyp.33433074929336	“ In the cellars, I suppose? ” “ No, Wigan; we ’ll look everywhere else first.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Is Mrs. Hall still in the village? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Is n’t that a sail — a yacht? ” said Zena suddenly, pointing out to sea, over which darkness was gathering like a pall.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Is the necklace in one of your safes in the bank here? ” “ Here!
nyp.33433074929336	“ It has been blowing like this ever since the night the doctor disappeared, has n’t it? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ It is hardly in my line, is it? ” “ Money is in everybody's line, ” he returned.
nyp.33433074929336	“ It ’s a heathen- ish custom, that ’s what I think. ” “ And you do n’t believe there was any large sum of money? ” “ No, I do n’t.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Large feet, had n’t he?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Marvelous. ” “ May I take it, Mr. Wickstead, that there is no sus- picion of collusion with officials in the bank? ” “ You may.
nyp.33433074929336	“ May I give one other word of advice? ” said Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ No, sir. ” “ How do you know she did n’t? ” “ I have heard her say she did n’t agree with women smoking.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Not as Murray Wigan, certainly, ” he said, and then he added, after a pause: “ Would you mind pre- tending to be Zena's lover?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Not particularly. ” “ You did n’t stop and ask her the way? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Nothing to speak of. ” “ Feel inclined to go a little way with me now? ” “ Certainly. ” “ Good!
nyp.33433074929336	“ Only wounds in the head?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Poor thing, we all sympathize with her. ” “ And Mrs. Ashworth, is she still here? ” ‘ ‘ No, sir.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Queer feeling about her, do n’t you think? ” said Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Quite sure. ” “ They were the same the whole time?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Say yes, Zena. ” “ It must not be yet. ” “ But some day? ” “ Perhaps — some day. ” And I was content.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Shall we find Constable Baker at the house? ” he asked presently.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Shall we go for it? ” I laughed; I thought he was joking.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Shall we have the servant in, Wigan? ” Emma Lewin told us that she had been with Mrs. Fitzroy for over three years.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Shall we interview the servants? ” he said, after a pause.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Should I be likely to forget so important a point?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Tell me, Mr. Oglethorpe, during this search were there any surprises?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Tell me, are the house and its contents still untouched? ” “ I believe so.
nyp.33433074929336	“ The same brand of cigarettes? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Then the little boxes; did you count them? ” “ Yes, there were twenty- five. ” I2 Christopher Quarles find.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was he careless about money matters? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was he here a great deal? ” the professor asked, looking round.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was she on good terms with Mrs. Jardine? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was she very much agitated? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was the dining- room door shut when you went up- stairs? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was there any harm in my coming, Mary? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Was there no information to be had from Sarah Paget? ” he asked, when I had finished.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What age is Rupert Lester? ” Zena asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What are you here for? ” she said, and I started.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What are you looking for? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What is that fool doing yonder?
nyp.33433074929336	“ What is the meaning of this intrusion? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What is the opinion you have formed about it, Wigan? ” he said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What kind of man is his locum, Mr. Wigan? ” “ Quite above suspicion, ” I answered.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What time was it when you entered the house last night? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ What was the man looking for?
nyp.33433074929336	“ When you went for the tray and found the door locked, did you think he had anyone with him? ” I asked.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Why are you so certain?
nyp.33433074929336	“ Why not come with me to Finsbury? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Why not? ” “ No one else will come there now.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Why? ” asked Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Wigan, do you see? ” whispered Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Wigan, this Sussex affair? ” were the words with which he greeted me.
nyp.33433074929336	“ With that? ” “ Why not? ” asked the man.
nyp.33433074929336	“ With that? ” “ Why not? ” asked the man.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Yes. ” “ And the man? ” “ Who is he? ” “ On the bench yesterday.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Yes. ” “ And the man? ” “ Who is he? ” “ On the bench yesterday.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Yes. ” “ Quite alone? ” the professor insisted.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Yes. ” “ You did not go by the garden gate last night? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074929336	“ Yes; but, forgive me, why these questions? ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433074929336	“ You are not busy, are you; you could give the time? ” he queried.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You are quite sure that those were the exact move- ments? ” said Quarles after watching him closely.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You do not seem interested in the broken box of counters? ” she said, turning toward her grandfather.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You do n’t happen to know a bibliomaniac who might commit murder? ” said Quarles.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You expected to surprise Lord Leconbridge into an admission and were disappointed? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You had been expecting me? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You have a theory, professor? ’ ’ “ An outlandish one which would make you laugh.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You know that Mr. Ewing was dismissed from the bank — and why? ” she said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You think Mrs. Fitzroy is lying dead somewhere in this house? ” I said.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You would like to find some reason to be suspicious of me? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You ’re thinking I would give the old woman away to them? ” he laughed.
nyp.33433074929336	“ You? ” “ I wanted to see the house and its inhabitants.
nyp.33433074929336	“ ‘ Cold out? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	- “ Do you care to have him know the nature of the business that has come up between us? ” “ If you do, I am willing, ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	- “ May I come in a moment? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076049810	- “ Well, Doctor, ” he said, “ what now?
nyp.33433076049810	- “ Were you at the pool last night? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	All I had to ask was “ How much? ” We were wholly resolved against paying black- mail, knowing that it was only a gradual descent to ruin.
nyp.33433076049810	And while we ’re asking, how did you get out of your room?
nyp.33433076049810	Are you?
nyp.33433076049810	But how am I to deal with these fellows? ” Mrs. Sidney hesitated.
nyp.33433076049810	Can you tell me anything about him without telling something that you do not want to?
nyp.33433076049810	Did n't you see Mr. Sidney was overexerting himself last night?
nyp.33433076049810	Did n’t you know he'd pay for it?
nyp.33433076049810	Did they tell you what they expected to find? ” “ No, ” said the girl.
nyp.33433076049810	Do I make myself clear? ” “ Your meaning is much clearer than your words, ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	Do n’t you want me to call you John? ” “ Of course I do, ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	Do you like chess? ” “ I never played. ” “ Luckily Jed does, just well enough to interest me and have me beat him.
nyp.33433076049810	Do you like wine? ” “ A young doctor does not drink. ” “ Luckily Jed does.
nyp.33433076049810	Do you understand me? ” “ I know you can make life very miserable for us for a couple of days.
nyp.33433076049810	Do you want to add a shiver to your contentment, Doctor? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	Doctor, Mr. Representative, Mr. Fiancé?
nyp.33433076049810	Good Lord, THE MYSTERY OF EARTILEY HOUSE 239 what are you doing here?
nyp.33433076049810	Had it no other con- sistency than old women's talk and children's fears?
nyp.33433076049810	Has anything of great Value been taken? ” “ Nothing of any intrinsic value whatever, Mrs. 182 THE MYSTERY OF HARTLEY HOUSE Aldrich.
nyp.33433076049810	Have you any nausea? ” “ Sick as I can be with pain, ” said Jed, groaning tremendously.
nyp.33433076049810	His scheme was just. ” “ What's the use of this debate? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433076049810	How are they threatened with One? ” “ But the manuscript indicates one. ” THE MYSTERY OF HARTILEY HOUSE 151 “ Does it?

nyp.33433076049810	I do n't intend to see one if I can help it. ” “ Is something haunted around here? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	I have no reason to think other- Wise. ” “ Where did you get your ideas of women, John? ” “ I have no ideas of women.
nyp.33433076049810	I ’ve seemed conscienceless, have n't I? ” “ I ’ve never tried to conceal my opinion of you, ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	I've never seen it, but some people say they have. ” “ Who Were the brothers? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	If he knew it was his brother, why did n’t he demand an enquiry and his freedom?
nyp.33433076049810	Is not that considerate Of her? ” i “ Has this man approached you directly? ” I asked.

nyp.33433076049810	It seems to me it needs an explanation. ” “ Who are you that you need an explanation? ” said Jed.
nyp.33433076049810	Jed appeared. ” “ What did he say? ” “ I do n't know — something incoherent, violent; and he took me by the sleeve.
nyp.33433076049810	Jed, like myself, I guessed, was in hiding — but for what reason?
nyp.33433076049810	My brother?
nyp.33433076049810	Neither of us betrayed our knowledge until the strange apparition which we knew to be there said:- “ Up so late, Doctor?
nyp.33433076049810	No thought of anybody that might be outside?
nyp.33433076049810	Old enough?

nyp.33433076049810	Up so late, Jed? ” “ Why, Mr. Sidney! ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433076049810	Was it built of ſnothing more than gossip?
nyp.33433076049810	Was it only the conventional consequence of the fratricidal crime committed at a lonely spot?

nyp.33433076049810	Well, how about seeing this man Jed? ” “ That can be arranged, ” I said, and I rang for Jed.
nyp.33433076049810	What are we doing here?
nyp.33433076049810	What are you and the whole household doing, awake and mov- ing? ” “ I did not know the whole household was stir- ring, ” I said.

nyp.33433076049810	What did I have in common with this young powerful beast?
nyp.33433076049810	What do you know? ” “ I can read English, ” he said with spirit.

nyp.33433076049810	Will she under- stand why I take it?
nyp.33433076049810	Will you read to me? ” It was eleven o’clock when I went to my room.
nyp.33433076049810	Would it serve any useful purpose for me to read it, or should it not go directly to the fire?
nyp.33433076049810	You have not found things wholly normal here, have you? ” “ No, I have n't. ” “ There is something here, ” said Dr. Brownell.
nyp.33433076049810	“ And I do n't want it ever to look extraordinary. ” “ Who Was killed there? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Anything else, sir? ” he asked; and then he departed as the servant.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Anything in particular? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Are you sure there is no one? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Did you have a fair night, Doctor? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Did you know him when you lived in Montevideo?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Do you know the explanation of this? ” “ No, ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Do you know what it is? ” “ No, I do n’t, ” she said.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Do you want a cocktail? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Dr.—John — will not be unhappy — I am sure — will you, Doctor?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Has Mr. Sidney, to your knowledge, ” he asked, “ recently found a supreme satisfaction in any event? ” “ None that I know of, ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	“ How am I to take that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ How do you do? ” said Miss Sidney, and she seemed to find it tiresome that a stranger had taken a place at the table.
nyp.33433076049810	“ I have thought of everything. ” “ Has it to do with Jed again? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ I ’m sure I do n't know. ”- “ Do you know a man named Dravada? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ If you do not know, you at least suspect. ” “ What do I suspect? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Is that the only way I can help you out? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ It's an acute, shooting pain, Doctor, ” he said loudly and then he whispered: “ What ought it to be? ” I heard the front door open and shut.
nyp.33433076049810	“ It's perfectly straightforward, natural and proper. ” “ Then it's the “ dear?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Jed, ” it said, “ who's there? ” The servant opened the door wider, and I saw a lady, a South American, I thought.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Not a mild one? ” Jed asked, persisting.
nyp.33433076049810	“ They? ” I said.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Well? ” I said, looking at him inquiringly.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What are we drinking to- night, Jed? ” Mr. Sidney asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What are you doing abroad?
nyp.33433076049810	“ What are you doing here? ’ “ Richard Dobson must have known that he was confronted by a ghost.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What are you doing up? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What did happen to Jed? ” I asked Isobel after dinner when we were alone.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What did you fear to lose by not coming? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What did you say was his crime? ” he asked the Warden.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What do you mean by that? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What do you want? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What has happened to you? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What have you to be afraid of? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What interests? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What is it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What is the matter? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What makes you think anything is the mat- ter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What should I call you? ” “ You might consider the fact that we are not engaged, ” I suggested.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What's the matter with you, anyway, Jed? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433076049810	“ What's the story? ” “ A man killed his brother there, ” said Charles.
nyp.33433076049810	“ When he got his party, he said: ‘ Is that you, Sim?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Where did you go? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Where is he? ” “ I do n’t know. ” “ Where were you when he did it? ” “ At the edge of the woods.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Where is he? ” “ I do n’t know. ” “ Where were you when he did it? ” “ At the edge of the woods.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Where is this something else to be found again if not right here in this family?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Where were the dogs? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Who tore your sleeve? ” “ Jed, ” she said with resolute frankness.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why ca n’t your insignificant conscience be satisfied without doing a lot of damage to no good end?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why do n't you end your rascality? ” I urged him.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why do n't you regard them as such? ’ ” “ I do n't fool myself, Doctor.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why do n’t you give the manuscript to Mrs. Sidney and allow her to make whatever disposition she wants of it?
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why, what can have happened to Jed? ” Mrs. Sidney exclaimed.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Why? ” “ He is changing.
nyp.33433076049810	“ Would you like some coffee, sir? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075753321	- 71 THE UNDER GROOVE “ Tell me, first, does your private wire run in from the top of your house? ” She pondered a moment.
nyp.33433075753321	188 CHAPTER FIVE “ Who are you? ” he cried again, vacuously.
nyp.33433075753321	213 THE UNDER GROOVE “ Is anything wrong here? ” I demanded authorita- tively even before I swung about into the square of the lighted room.
nyp.33433075753321	252 THE UNDER GROOVE “ Who are you? ” he demanded, still struggling to wrest himself from my clutch.
nyp.33433075753321	35 THE UNDER GROOVE “ Are you certain? ” I persisted.
nyp.33433075753321	65 THE UNDER GROOVE “ But how?—how?
nyp.33433075753321	74 CHAPTER TWO “ Then they ’re stealing our news? ” “ Every word of it, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075753321	An expert, just for that?
nyp.33433075753321	And ca n’t you see, that ’s why the taking of this money would start such an uproar?
nyp.33433075753321	And that ’s where we differed?
nyp.33433075753321	And the more I see what she has to suffer the more my heart bleeds for her. ” 30 CHAPTER ONE “ What she has to suffer? ” I echoed.
nyp.33433075753321	And you say it ’s drill- proof 194 CHAPTER FIVE — that it ’s the hardest of chromium steel?
nyp.33433075753321	Are you there? ” I heard a cautious and muffled voice asking.
nyp.33433075753321	As an officer, I know these men are yeggmen, and I know what they stand for* “ Then you are an officer? ” she interrupted.
nyp.33433075753321	Burglar- proof?
nyp.33433075753321	But I was n’t built that way! ” “ Who is your father? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433075753321	But I ’ll fool him, or know the reason why?"
nyp.33433075753321	But are you listening? ” 261 CHAPTER SEVEN pretended I wanted to see him alone.
nyp.33433075753321	But it was, of course, to meet my husband on his way back from Washing- ton. ” “ And he? ” I prompted, to fill in the sudden silence.
nyp.33433075753321	But toward what was I stumbling and groping?
nyp.33433075753321	Did it date from the burglary or from the hurt to the wrist bone? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	Do n’t you remember? ” asked the girl, bending lower over the bed.
nyp.33433075753321	Do you understand why two men are in that particular room of your house? ” “ No, ” she answered, watching me narrowly.
nyp.33433075753321	Does n’t she remem- ber things afterward? ” “ Only vaguely.
nyp.33433075753321	Have n’t you your doubts about trusting me, I mean? ” “ Even if I have it ’s too late now, ” she replied, after a little pause.
nyp.33433075753321	Have you ever watched a bottle of Spumante with the cork drawn?
nyp.33433075753321	Her eyes were both searching and suspicious, as she suddenly demanded: “ Do you know him? ” But they were very beautiful eyes.
nyp.33433075753321	I made a mess of things there, a horrible mess! ”- “ How do you mean? ” “ Oh, I mean every old way!
nyp.33433075753321	I mean to say, he had “ Cedarton Sewell ’ posted for first place from the beginning? ” The man on the bed nodded his head sleepily.
nyp.33433075753321	I mean, where are your servants? ” “ Quite empty, ” she answered.
nyp.33433075753321	I thought I saw her startled lips frame an incred- ulous “ You? ” But not a sound came from them.
nyp.33433075753321	II “ Is Mr. Gahan at home? ” I asked, more casually, steadying myself.
nyp.33433075753321	In that safe are certain things for which you yourself came to this house to- night, alone! ” “ Why should you think that? ” she parried.
nyp.33433075753321	Is n’t that clear enough? ’ ” Miron began to see things more plainly, and to show more interest.
nyp.33433075753321	Is this house empty?
nyp.33433075753321	It seemed to say, “ Shall we try it? ” I nodded.
nyp.33433075753321	Now I ’m going to have an officer in this house as soon as one can get here! ” “ An officer? ” “ Yes, an officer!
nyp.33433075753321	Or a half- emptied seltzer- siphon when the pressure is first removed?
nyp.33433075753321	Or was he luring and leading me on, with this side- stepping coyness of his?
nyp.33433075753321	Quick, but no noise! ” “ What does it mean? ” she asked, with her eyes again on my face.
nyp.33433075753321	So full was this list, that it might have stood for a Bradstreet or a “ Who ’s Who? ” of the world of finance.
nyp.33433075753321	So they boosted me up to night- despatcher at London ‘ The Little. ’ ” “ And? ” prompted my questioner.
nyp.33433075753321	That explains why they are still there! ” “ But what could they want from that coin- safe? ” she asked uneasily.
nyp.33433075753321	That will put us on common ground — it will be making it a case 33 of honour between “ Thieves|??
nyp.33433075753321	That will put us on common ground — it will be making it a case 33 of honour between “ Thieves|??
nyp.33433075753321	That wire has been tapped. ” “ Tapped? ” “ Yes; tapped.
nyp.33433075753321	That ’s different, is n’t it?
nyp.33433075753321	The Kam- chatka concessions meant a great deal to him! ” “ But how does the coin- safe come in? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	The house has been closed. ” “ Then you came here to- night by the merest acci- dent? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	Then Bromig bumped into some old skull depression when he had him on the table! ” “ You mean he trephined? ” asked the higher- noted voice.
nyp.33433075753321	Then could n’t I get a locksmith, or something, nearer here?
nyp.33433075753321	Then he tipped me off how to get through the back way! ” “ And where are you going now? ” He looked at me in wonder.
nyp.33433075753321	This one will open the office door. ” “ But what door?
nyp.33433075753321	Two hours?
nyp.33433075753321	Was he trying to let me out?
nyp.33433075753321	What more do you want?
nyp.33433075753321	What office? ” “ The office of the Black Company, ” she answered.
nyp.33433075753321	What was taking place behind those closed and mysterious doors?
nyp.33433075753321	What were you saying about his work? ” “ I was going to say that it was my father who en- gineered the Mexican half of the Pan- American System.
nyp.33433075753321	When and how did it begin? ”- The woman walked softly to the locked door and lis- tened for a moment before she started to speak again.
nyp.33433075753321	Who actually was this woman, dangled so alluringly before the eyes of unsuspecting youth and romantic maturity and susceptible old age?
nyp.33433075753321	Who and what was the queen of this Utopian love syndicate?
nyp.33433075753321	You forget what I came for. ” “ Ca n’t you see it ’s useless — now?
nyp.33433075753321	You see, he's a foreigner, and our freedom seems so inexplicable to him! ” “ But the pendant? ” I said.
nyp.33433075753321	You've killed the whole game! ” “ Ca n't you fix'em? ” I asked, eyeing the trailing wires.
nyp.33433075753321	“ And how much could I make?
nyp.33433075753321	“ And the check- forger, too? ” I could not resist ask- ing, with a meekly comprehending nod of the head tow- ard the broken buzzer.
nyp.33433075753321	“ And were yuh lookin ’ for me? ” he demanded, with a beguiling coyness that warned me he was only holding back for some final spring.
nyp.33433075753321	“ And when you began to laugh? ” he prompted me, as he might have prompted a three- year- old child.
nyp.33433075753321	“ And whose pocket- book is that — quick? ” I demanded in- sanely.
nyp.33433075753321	“ And you compel me to explain? ” she still equivo- cated.
nyp.33433075753321	“ And, by the way, what is fustian? ”- I knew she was peering at me in wonder.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you a detective? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you a detective? ” she suddenly asked me.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you a newspaper reporter? ” That, too, I could truthfully disclaim.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you certain of that? ” He laughed a little as he held me down.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you going to give me a hand with that wire coil? ” I demanded impatiently, without so much as a further look at him.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you in on those Cobalt claims, too? ” he in- quired, settling back again.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Are you ready? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But although the tickers and handbook men an- nounced the wrong winner, Travis was right from the first?
nyp.33433075753321	“ But ca n’t she explain, herself?
nyp.33433075753321	“ But can you help him? ” she pleaded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But how do I know this is all on the square? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But is somebody on my key? ” I insisted.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But is there no physical taint as well? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what am I to do with it afterward? ” I re- peated.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what am I to do with it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what are we going to do?
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what can the police do? ” “ Do?
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what can the police do? ” “ Do?
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what do you get out of all this? ” he still asked, in utter perplexity.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what is this Black Company? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But what money have we got to bet? ” he cried, with a flash of his old- time suspicion.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But which one of him is going to live? ” asked the thin- noted voice, in what seemed an awed whisper.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But why are you doing fool things like this? ” I asked, less brusquely, turning his revolver over in my hand.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But why do you ask me that? ” I ventured.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But you do n't remember? ” half- whispered the white- faced girl above me.
nyp.33433075753321	“ But you wo n’t do what I ask? ” she went on, com- pressing her ever mobile lips.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Ca n't you see you may as well tell me quietly here as have to explain everything to a sergeant at the police- station? ” I argued.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Ca n't you shoot? ” “ How can I? ” mocked the devil at the open window.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Ca n't you shoot? ” “ How can I? ” mocked the devil at the open window.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Can we get ’ em? ” he cried, ignoring my presence.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Did I kill him? ” she moaned, clinging to me, as she came to.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Did he go? ” asked the girl, hearing the sound.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Do n’t you know me?
nyp.33433075753321	“ Do you know anything about these Chinese puz- zles? ” he asked, putting the time- table before my eyes.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Do you know the safe combination? ” “ No- but I ’ve'phoned for the lock expert.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Do you suppose I ’m here to quibble about what I ’m going to believe or not? ” I demanded, unmoved by her tears.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Does Mr. Gahan live here? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Does this mean any harm to father? ” cried the girl.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Er — shall I call again? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Fix'em? ” mocked Miron, ash- coloured with anger.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Get ’ em? ” answered Mahler, with a laugh, where he bent over the relay.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Has anything gone through yet? ” asked Mahler, swinging round the table.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Has anything happened? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Have you a brother? ” I asked, to explain my look of wonder.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Hello, ” I answered, “ Yes, I ’m waiting here. ” “ What are you doing? ” I thought I detected a note of suspicion in the query.
nyp.33433075753321	“ How can I ever thank you for all the trouble, for all the risk you have taken? ” she said.
nyp.33433075753321	“ How did Travis get those field reports? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ How long have I been here? ” I asked after a strug- gle that must have taken up many minutes.
nyp.33433075753321	“ How long have I been here? ” I asked, making a second great effort that left me languid and indifferent as to what her answer might be.
nyp.33433075753321	“ How much has he got? ” asked the other dif- fidently.
nyp.33433075753321	“ How much? ” “ Two per cent, on the whole field. ” “ That's easy! ” Miron, relieved, turned to me.
nyp.33433075753321	“ I mean, is she sane and well in body? ” I waited for some betraying glance of fear, for some significant start.
nyp.33433075753321	“ I must see that young woman, at once. ” “ May I not speak for her? ” asked the woman in the uniform.
nyp.33433075753321	“ I ought to be in fustian, ought n't I? ” I ventured to bridge the awkward pause.
nyp.33433075753321	“ I ’m Margaret Shaler — Can't you even remember-: that? ” she asked, a little forlornly.
nyp.33433075753321	“ I ’ve got to know, once for all, just why you want that pendant! ” “ But why should I tell you this? ” she asked after a pause.
nyp.33433075753321	“ I ’ve got to see Travis! ” “ Have you? ” he said, without budging.
nyp.33433075753321	“ In what corner of the Fairies ’ Forest? ” She was thinking again, and did not answer me.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Is that all? ” she whispered incredulously.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Is that enough? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Is that what you told the man you got this money from? ” Her lips puckered and hardened in a sort of grimace of scorn.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Is that you, Everson? ” at last sounded the voice at the'phone.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Is there no actual malformation of flesh and bone, no abnormal feature of of limb? ” “ None; I ’m sure, ” was her response.
nyp.33433075753321	“ It ’s a not unnatural prerogative, is it, to come into one ’s own house? ” she replied.
nyp.33433075753321	“ It ’s not much of a reason, but it ’s enough for me. ” “ Well, what? ” he was getting uglier every minute.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Jeffreys?"
nyp.33433075753321	“ Listen: is that the bell? ” I asked from the hall door.
nyp.33433075753321	“ My gun jab you at all? ” I asked, airily enough.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Nothing has happened? ” she hurriedly asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ One minute — is my friend in on this? ” demanded Miron, with a hand- wave toward me.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Pardon me, but should n’t you be a bit afraid of me?
nyp.33433075753321	“ Please explain it a lit- tle more. ” “ She sometimes thinks this arm is dead. ”* Dead? ” I echoed.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Quick, where's your father now? ” I demanded, without time even to explain.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Shaler!—how'd you get him? ” 142 CHAPTER FOUR “ Over the'phone at the Athletic Club.
nyp.33433075753321	“ That calls the watchman of this building — the night- watchman. ” “ Are you crazy? ” I demanded, backing toward the outer hall door.
nyp.33433075753321	“ The Middle Division. ” “ And what does that include? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433075753321	“ The use of it? ” I argued with him, nevertheless — “ the use of it?
nyp.33433075753321	“ The use of it? ” I argued with him, nevertheless — “ the use of it?
nyp.33433075753321	“ The watch- man! ” “ But do you know there is a watchman? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then how did you get that door open? ” he sud- denly demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then we ca n’t wait for him l ’ ” “ Who ’s Shaler? ” I made bold enough to query.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then what are you? ” she demanded, with a return of suspicion.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then what is she? ” I asked in wonder.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then what must you know? ” 228 CHAPTER SIX “ Why you want that pendant! ” I reiterated.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then what ’s the use of talking at all? ” “ Because you ’ve got to see how things stand — how I ’m down and out!
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then what? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then where are you going? ” “ I ’m going to take the Transcontinental Express from Montreal, to- morrow, for Calgary.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then why are you not in uniform? ” she promptly demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then why not explain a little more fully? ” I asked, as a blind.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Then you must know Pugh and Crombie and Simpson? ” The names were not familiar to me.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Well, you know what two thousand on a ten or twelve to one shot amounts to, do n’t you? ” Miron pounded on the table with his fist.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Well? ” he demanded insolently, with a ragged cigar in one corner of his mouth.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What are we going to do? ” he repeated weakly.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What are you bothering with me for, anyway? ” he suddenly broke out, as though the strangeness of what I was doing had just come home to him.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What are you doing here? ” she cried out im- periously.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What are you talking about? ” I cried out at her.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What can I do? ” I equivocated, a little bewildered at her new line of procedure.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What can we say to him? ” My one anxiety was to help her out.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What d'you think of this, anyway? ” “ It sounds great, ” I admitted.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What do I know about your door? ” I bawled back at him.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What do you mean by that? ” cried the nurse.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What do you mean by that? ” “ I mean that the woman you followed into this house is no longer here, ” was the reply.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What do you mean? ” I looked toward the closed door that led into the blue TOOm.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What does this mean? ” he cried, struggling to get as far as an electric alarm- button behind the desk.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What have I done? ” “ Done!
nyp.33433075753321	“ What is it you want of me? ” she said at last, in a tone of tacit surrender.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What is it? ” I asked with forced calmness.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What is it? ” asked the nurse temporizingly, as she motioned me back into the deeper gloom toward the vestibule.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What is that for? ” I whispered hurriedly.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What is your division? ” he asked; and he seemed to be holding his breath as he waited for my answer.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What is your telegram? ” he demanded, still keep- ing the tail of one eye on the fidgeting and mystified Shaler.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What then? ” demanded the guttural voice again.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What was the name, Dickson? ” he asked, complain- ingly, half- turning to the immovable footman in green.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What ’s that for? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What ’s your business? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What's that to either you or me, now? ” he com- plained with a return of peevishness.
nyp.33433075753321	“ What's the use of it, anyway? ” he mumbled.
nyp.33433075753321	“ When do those returns start coming? ” “ They ’ve started now.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Where's Shaler? ” asked Mahler, circling the room with his quick glance.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who are you? ” I cried, nettled by her look.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who are you? ” I echoed, without falling back an inch.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who are you? ” I repeated.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who are you? ” she demanded, tight- lipped, tak- ing a step forward.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who is in this house? ” called the shrill voice above.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who is in this house? ” demanded the woman at the head of the stairs, the note of authority high above that of alarm.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who is that woman? ” I suddenly cried out, exas- perated.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who puts the money up over at the pool- room? ” I asked, sitting on the sill.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Who ’s handling my division? ” I asked in sudden terror.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Whose furs are those? ” Beside them lay the gold- initialled handbag.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why are you taking such chances on this money? ” I demanded, with my back against the door, waiting every minute for the steps on the stairs.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why ca n’t you be generous with me? ” she still pleaded, regarding me with her half- averted face.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why ca n’t you trust me? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why do you say that? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why do you suppose Travis could do that? ” I de- manded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why should n't I be on the make this way? ” Dinney used to ask.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why — what the devil are you toting a thing like that around this town for? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Why, please? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Will you be alone? ” I queried, as casually as pos- sible.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Will you kindly tell me just why you did n’t bet that roll of yours? ” he demanded, as we started tow- ard Broadway.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Wo n't Bromig wallow in this? ” he murmured mys- teriously.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Yes; ca n’t you tie ’em together again? ” My placidity left him speechless, guttering like a turkey- cock.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You mean weeks? ” I next asked her.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You sent for me? ” he asked in his suave, deep- toned, foreign barytone.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You take this gun, and stand here at the door! ” “ But what are you to do? ” she whispered, almost in my ear.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You wo n’t listen to me? ” she demanded, with some vague yet thinly veiled threat in her voice.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You ’ll telephone for your reserves? ” she said at last.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You ’re a railroad man, are n’t you? ” he suddenly inquired, more intimately.
nyp.33433075753321	“ You ’re tied up for to- day? ” he essayed carelessly.
nyp.33433075753321	“ Your what? ” cried Miron.
nyp.33433074926894	* Yes. ” ‘ And you really wish to know?'
nyp.33433074926894	- Accordingly at dinner that night, in a pause in the conversa- tion, Harry suddenly asked: “ Seen Dr. Godfrey again, Uncle Francis?
nyp.33433074926894	- “ How's the Luck?'
nyp.33433074926894	- “ There, there, look to him What is the matter?'

nyp.33433074926894	A solution and a rescue he felt there must be, but in what direction did it lie?
nyp.33433074926894	Ah, this is your maid, is she not?
nyp.33433074926894	All well?
nyp.33433074926894	An extraordinary de- lusion in so clear- headed a man, is it not?
nyp.33433074926894	And Harry?"
nyp.33433074926894	And I honestly assure you that I should be more than delighted if he did. ” “ It is about him you would tell me? ’ asked Evie.
nyp.33433074926894	And after that lesson, should not the pupil give him credit for some motive, unguessable even as that had been, but equally thoughtful?
nyp.33433074926894	And do you know the cause of it? ’ “ No; Harry did not tell me, though I asked him. ’ “ Then I shall tell you,'said Lady Oxted.
nyp.33433074926894	And here is Harry; what has he got?'
nyp.33433074926894	And how was it that it never occurred to Mr. Francis that the two figures they saw were Jim and his young woman?
nyp.33433074926894	And the Luck is there?
nyp.33433074926894	And yet, and yet, how can one believe it?
nyp.33433074926894	And you feel, you really feel, all you said to me? ’ Mr. Francis paused.
nyp.33433074926894	And you intend to take me to London at the end of this week?'
nyp.33433074926894	And you know, Uncle Francis, since I found it, I have had more happiness than in the whole of my life before. ” ‘ What happiness, Harry?"
nyp.33433074926894	And you've not overtired yourself, I hope, dear Harry?'
nyp.33433074926894	Anything extra for a secret door?'
nyp.33433074926894	Are our fears real?
nyp.33433074926894	Are you a Bear?'
nyp.33433074926894	Are you going now, Geoff?
nyp.33433074926894	Are you shooting to- day or skating, or will you like to take a tramp round the old place with me as you suggested last night?'
nyp.33433074926894	But I can answer for it that Miss Aylwin believes utterly and entirely in your innocence. ” ‘ How is that — how is that?"
nyp.33433074926894	But now, tell me, is Harry all right?'
nyp.33433074926894	But there is one weak point in the evidence. ” ‘ Evidence?
nyp.33433074926894	But we have one great advantage over him. ’ GEOFFREY MEETS THE DOCTOR 255 ‘ What is that?'
nyp.33433074926894	But what could he do?
nyp.33433074926894	But when, where?
nyp.33433074926894	But will you do all you can or are told to do?'
nyp.33433074926894	But, tell me, is Harry very angry with me?
nyp.33433074926894	By the sluice, you say?"
nyp.33433074926894	By the way, Geoffrey, where will you sleep?
nyp.33433074926894	By the way, how do you and he get on together?
nyp.33433074926894	Can you, however vaguely, account for this?
nyp.33433074926894	DR. ARMYTAGE ARRIVES 237 ‘ I can not. ’ ‘ May I tell your uncle this, Lord Vail?'
nyp.33433074926894	Did anything else strike you in the picture?
nyp.33433074926894	Did he know Harry as well as she, he who had known him all his life, she who had known him a month, no more?
nyp.33433074926894	Did he take it all as lightly as you seem to?"
nyp.33433074926894	Did he think that the elements were in league with some occult power of magic and darkness that he possessed?
nyp.33433074926894	Did not that argue a loop- hole of encouraging amplitude?
nyp.33433074926894	Did you call me more than once, Geoff? ” “ No; the other time it was the second Baron. ” Harry was still a little startled.
nyp.33433074926894	Did you drive them?'
nyp.33433074926894	Did you lock it? ’ ‘ Yes, and I was just stealing upstairs when you awoke.
nyp.33433074926894	Did you mean him to be refused?
nyp.33433074926894	Do either of them walk?'
nyp.33433074926894	Do you acquit me?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you follow?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you promise never to tell me the name of that man?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you really mean it, Geoff?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you remember how he wounded a hare last Christmas, and was out for an hour trying to recover it?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you remember saying to me once that little things like baths and tea were much more important than anything else?'
nyp.33433074926894	Do you remember what you told me about Dr. Godfrey and Dr. Armytage?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you shoot, Uncle Francis?'
nyp.33433074926894	Do you think it is fine fun for me to tell you to go?
nyp.33433074926894	Do you want to stay for the last act?'
nyp.33433074926894	Do you want to tell me of some decision you have made, and wish me to agree with you, or is it possible that you have not yet made your decision?
nyp.33433074926894	Does Dr. Godfrey live there?'
nyp.33433074926894	Does it please you?'
nyp.33433074926894	Does that influence your con- clusion?"
nyp.33433074926894	Else, how was it con- ceivable that she should not have said those two words ‘ Francis Vail'?
nyp.33433074926894	Even if this was so, why should Harry at once wish to go to Lady Oxted?

nyp.33433074926894	Had he already forgotten that he had given you a direction that nearly sent you to your death P Or was the mistake yours?
nyp.33433074926894	Had it not told him something more?
nyp.33433074926894	Had she not said to Harry, ‘ Is Vail full of doubles? ” Out of her own mouth should she be judged.
nyp.33433074926894	Harry is liked by the servants, is he not?
nyp.33433074926894	Harry, I gather, has told you, Lady Oxted, of his three escapes; he has told you also of his quarrel with his friend here, and the reason of it?'
nyp.33433074926894	Harry, does not this seem to you also to be curious?'
nyp.33433074926894	Have there been no suspicious circumstances of any kind which might lead any- one to think that these were not entirely accidents?
nyp.33433074926894	Have they come back from their walk?'
nyp.33433074926894	Have you the keys?
nyp.33433074926894	He has hardly left him for five minutes. ’ ‘ Will Sanders sleep in his room to- night?'

nyp.33433074926894	He is old, I sup- pose, as he is Lord Vail's great- uncle?'
nyp.33433074926894	He kept asking me one question, Geoff; he kept repeating and repeating it — Which of you two is to go?

nyp.33433074926894	His own happiness could not be purchased at the cost of suffering to that kindly old man; and who knew how much he might be suffering even now?

nyp.33433074926894	I do that, do I? ’ said Harry, with a certain eager interest in his tone.
nyp.33433074926894	I happened to look out the doctor's address in his “ Where Is It? ” and found the name in inverted commas.
nyp.33433074926894	I hope Harry will speak to Templeton about the door. ” “ But how will Harry know, unless he knows of your coming?'
nyp.33433074926894	I suppose if I did not, you would go to Geoff?'

nyp.33433074926894	It is certain to you and me, I grant you, but still — Did Harry say what this man he met driving to the station was like?"
nyp.33433074926894	It is clear that Sanders has left the house; who else could have opened that door?
nyp.33433074926894	It is darker than the plague of Egypt. ” ‘ Come where?

nyp.33433074926894	Oh, Harry, I ask you once again, do you tell me to go?'
nyp.33433074926894	Oh, my God, wo n't this nightmare cease?'
nyp.33433074926894	Oh, there's a policeman keeping everybody back l Do you think it's the Queen?
nyp.33433074926894	Oh, we may be dealing with a cunning of which we have no conception| What if all this was told you simply to blind you?
nyp.33433074926894	Oh, what shall I do? ’ she cried.
nyp.33433074926894	Poor old Geoff, how goes it?
nyp.33433074926894	Ring the bell as you pass, will you?'
nyp.33433074926894	See to that, Templeton] That is the key, is it?
nyp.33433074926894	Shall I help bring in the plate, sir?'
nyp.33433074926894	Shall I order a whisky for you at the same time?'
nyp.33433074926894	Shall I ring the bell?
nyp.33433074926894	Shall I tell them to move your things there?'
nyp.33433074926894	She wished, at any rate, that I should not know, Do you think it may be so?'
nyp.33433074926894	Should I maintain even a low average of industry?
nyp.33433074926894	Should she tell him all P should she tell him nothing?
nyp.33433074926894	So I need not tell you the rest?'
nyp.33433074926894	So neither of you will come?'
nyp.33433074926894	So tell me, what do you hope the Luck will bring you?'
nyp.33433074926894	So the gun went off?'
nyp.33433074926894	Strange, is it not?
nyp.33433074926894	Supposing anyone else, Geoffrey Langham, for instance, had chosen to walk in a wood with a dairymaid, would she have cared, would it have stung her?
nyp.33433074926894	Supposing there came some great call on me for courage or resolution, should I respond to it?
nyp.33433074926894	THE SPELL BEGINS TO WORK 2I “ Very cold, is it not?'
nyp.33433074926894	Tell me, Geoff,'and he fidgeted with the door- handle, “ did you see Miss Aylwin? ’ ‘ No.
nyp.33433074926894	That sounds a little crude, does it not?
nyp.33433074926894	That was really Oxford we saw just now, was it?
nyp.33433074926894	The Luck is the only inducement, I am afraid — it and some big bare Wiltshire Downs. ” ‘ Big, large, and open? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074926894	The house is more behind than the park, therefore the house first. ’ ‘ You see exactly what that will come to?'
nyp.33433074926894	Then the passage is a secret, eh, Geoff? ” “ Why, surely, ” said Geoffrey, “ like the box- hedge.
nyp.33433074926894	This was conveniently near to his own lodgings, where GEOFFREY MEETS THE DOCTOR 253 ‘ Why?'
nyp.33433074926894	To go now to Harry's room, what risk was there, what fear of eyes behind curtains, and, once there, what sort of reception would he meet?
nyp.33433074926894	Under what circum- stances, that is to say, did she desire to leave herself free?
nyp.33433074926894	Used they to use matches?'
nyp.33433074926894	Was he?
nyp.33433074926894	Was he?
nyp.33433074926894	Was it not better to tell you like this, making no con- fidence of it?'
nyp.33433074926894	Was it reasonable to suppose, then, if a name alone produced so ill- starred a result, that he could bear the sight of the girl?
nyp.33433074926894	Was it very happy?
nyp.33433074926894	Was she now to believe the evidence of somebody else's tongue?
nyp.33433074926894	We talked about dachshunds, which I love; and what else?
nyp.33433074926894	Well, I went. ” “ But what happened to Mr. Francis? ’ asked Geoffrey.
nyp.33433074926894	Well, I'm off. ” “ Where to?'
nyp.33433074926894	Well, would n't he as naturally feel aggrieved if I do n't tell him?"
nyp.33433074926894	Well? ” “ But is it not pure assumption that he is acting a part? ” asked Geoffrey.
nyp.33433074926894	Well? ” “ But is it not pure assumption that he is acting a part? ” asked Geoffrey.
nyp.33433074926894	What could possibly have happened?
nyp.33433074926894	What dim figure, deadly and full of hate, hovered on the wing by him, ready to strike?
nyp.33433074926894	What do you mean?'
nyp.33433074926894	What does Miss Aylwin do?'
nyp.33433074926894	What duty could be more obvious, more staring, than to finish now at once with that in- effable old man?
nyp.33433074926894	What else?
nyp.33433074926894	What evidence?'
nyp.33433074926894	What has he come to tell us? ” Geoffrey got up.
nyp.33433074926894	What have we done?
nyp.33433074926894	What have you suffered since at the hands of fire and frost and rain P “ Ah I do n't you see?'
nyp.33433074926894	What if Harry was right?
nyp.33433074926894	What if now these more serious accidents were to be referred to the same agency?
nyp.33433074926894	What if some occult force lurked there — if some unsleeping presence dwelt in those diamonds?
nyp.33433074926894	What if the imminence of his exposure had at last revealed to him his immeasurable enormity?
nyp.33433074926894	What odd buildings| What are they?'
nyp.33433074926894	What reconstruction of facts would fit these factors?
nyp.33433074926894	What shall we do?
nyp.33433074926894	What strange things Mrs. Antrobus says Perhaps they are clever?'
nyp.33433074926894	What then?
nyp.33433074926894	What there is, however, goes to him, and it can hardly be expected that he will marry and have children now. ’ ‘ How old is he?'
nyp.33433074926894	What was this malignancy that haunted Harry, dogging his steps?
nyp.33433074926894	What will he not do for ten?
nyp.33433074926894	What will you do?
nyp.33433074926894	What's the matter?'
nyp.33433074926894	What, again, if remorse had at length touched Mr. Francis?
nyp.33433074926894	What, then, had happened?
nyp.33433074926894	What?
nyp.33433074926894	What?'
nyp.33433074926894	What?'
nyp.33433074926894	Where are you?'
nyp.33433074926894	Where does he live?'
nyp.33433074926894	Where does it lead to?
nyp.33433074926894	Where else should it be if not there?
nyp.33433074926894	Where is he P What is it?'
nyp.33433074926894	Where shall we go, Uncle Francis? ’ ‘ Where you please, as long as we go together, and you will consent to go slowly and talk to me.
nyp.33433074926894	Which is the room — the room?'
nyp.33433074926894	Who knew what he might not attempt next?
nyp.33433074926894	Who told you?'
nyp.33433074926894	Who told you?'
nyp.33433074926894	Why does this give me pleasure?
nyp.33433074926894	Why had he felt so certain on so slight a glance that it was Harry?
nyp.33433074926894	Why not?'
nyp.33433074926894	Why, dear?'
nyp.33433074926894	Why, then, should they not marry?"
nyp.33433074926894	Why?'
nyp.33433074926894	Will you be very indulgent to me, Miss Evie, and accept a devoted though an aged com- panion?'
nyp.33433074926894	Yes, already I count myself a friend of hers. ” MR. FRANCIS IS BETTER 99 “ Then her mother had not told her all?'
nyp.33433074926894	Yes, that sounds horrible, does it not?
nyp.33433074926894	Yet were not the sins of the fathers visited on the children?
nyp.33433074926894	Yet, supposing I had to work for my bread, should I do it cheerfully, do you think?
nyp.33433074926894	You can hardly deny that that is so. ” ‘ What have you done with it? ’ asked Geoffrey.
nyp.33433074926894	You did n't do it, and I ’m not going to send the bill to you. ’ “ But are n't you frightened?'
nyp.33433074926894	You had much better tell the whole story for yourself, had n't you?'
nyp.33433074926894	You have plenty of blankets?
nyp.33433074926894	You may have to deal with a pretty desperate man, and it is possible you will feel safer with that rifle. ’ ‘ Where shall I go?'
nyp.33433074926894	You promise me this?'
nyp.33433074926894	You remember the lines engraved round the Luck: “ When the Luck is found again, Fear both fire and frost and rain ”?
nyp.33433074926894	You would like to look at it?'
nyp.33433074926894	You would scarcely remember your grandfather, Harry?"
nyp.33433074926894	You've never seen him? ” “ Never.
nyp.33433074926894	You, for example. ’ “ Have I not told you?
nyp.33433074926894	You, too, Jim P Can you get into the stable so late? ’ ‘ Yes, sir; thank you, sir, ’ said Jim.
nyp.33433074926894	Your mother is well? ” “ Very; as well as I am, and that means a lot.
nyp.33433074926894	Your promise has had the kernel taken out of it. ’ ‘ You know?
nyp.33433074926894	does he blame me, as he has every right to, very severely?"
nyp.33433074926894	he asked, when Geoffrey had finished, “ You are sure there is nothing more?
nyp.33433074926894	how can you be such an ass?'
nyp.33433074926894	is Harry — is his lordship safe?'
nyp.33433074926894	she asked, ‘ or has Uncle Bob been doubting your first qualities?
nyp.33433074926894	what is the matter?'
nyp.33433074926894	you have some idea?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ And what did Mr. Francis say? ’ she asked.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Come on, ’ he said, with something of an effort; “ let ’s see where the passage leads. ’ ‘ What's the matter?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Dear Miss Evie, ’ he said, ‘ will you allow a very old man to take a very great liberty?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Did he also think it was you?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Did you have a nice walk?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ God in heaven, what are we to do?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Harry, why will you not tell me, and save my asking you all these questions?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Have you bad news from Vail?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ How can that pewter- pot break down a sluice and put a cartridge in your gun, and make you go to the ice- house instead of the summer- house?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ How can you talk such utter nonsense?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ How so?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Hush, what's that?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ I am; but what evidence have we?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ I wonder whether you would care to hear some more family history?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ If so, are you prepared to die? ’ “ Neither, ’ said Geoffrey, “ but do n't let me interrupt you.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Indeed, six months ago I had no friend in the world except Geoffrey. ’ “ What's that about me?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Is Saul also among the prophets?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Is there nothing I can do?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Laugh?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ My darling, ” he said, ‘ I ought never to have told you; only I could not help telling you some time, and why not now?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ My dear boy, what is the matter?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ My dear fellow, ” he cried, “ I hope you are not hurt?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Now, why “ poor Evie"?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Now, why,'continued Lady Oxted, speaking rapidly, “ should he wish to separate the two?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Oh, Harry, what has happened?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Oh, there's a Canadian canoe 1 May we go in it?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Singing?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ That is your verdict, then P You believe nothing against your uncle? ” said the other, with an intonation absolutely colourless.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ That means I must n't have any — does it?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ What does one know of him? ’ she asked.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ What has that got to do with it?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ What on earth do you mean?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ What?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Who is it? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Why did you do that?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Why not?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Why?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Will you read that?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Will you show me my way?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Yes, but where?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Yes, his name was Francis, too. ” ‘ What is that great cup he is holding?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Yes, his very simplicity has a certain charm, has it not?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Yes, they are beautiful,"she said; and as they turned, ‘ Is Vail entirely full of doubles? ’ she asked.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Yes; the Grimstons have the flue in the house, bless them 1 And you go home, do n't you?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You and I would risk all that, would we not, Geoffrey, ’ he said, ‘ to have found such a beautiful thing?
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You are alluding to mine, apparently?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You are going to Oxted for the Sunday, are you not?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You are not going to do anything foolish, Harry?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You found?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You knew what? ” he asked very deliberately.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You know her reason, of course, Aunt Violet? ’ she said quietly, but with a certain firm resolve to speak.
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You know the story?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You mean he will make another attempt?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You mean the Luck?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You were wrong, then,'he said, ‘ and you are on the way to become a sensuous voluptuary. ’ ‘ On the way?"
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You will be very careful, my lord?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ You ’re not hurt?'
nyp.33433074926894	‘ Your uncle?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ A promise?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ And do you believe in this illness?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ And have you arranged another day like this for to- morrow?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ And have you been waiting for us since then, Uncle Francis? ’ he said.
nyp.33433074926894	“ And there is no further anxiety?
nyp.33433074926894	“ And what about him?
nyp.33433074926894	“ And who made him forget which was which of the two houses?
nyp.33433074926894	“ And who put the cartridge in that gun?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ But do you think your now consenting to take it proves that I was wrong?
nyp.33433074926894	“ But the legend — what does the legend mean?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ But what have they done with the Duke of Wellington on his horse?
nyp.33433074926894	“ But what is it — what is it all?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ But what is it?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ But why?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ But you wo n't tell Harry to- night?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Cold partridge for anyone but me?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Dear Uncle Francis, ” he said, ‘ what was his opinion of your health P. He was satisfied?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Dear aunt, have you been very honourable lately?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Dear lad, have you had a very tedious day?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Do you not see?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Do you really want to hear it?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Do you remember that evening when we went to find Dr. Godfrey, Geoff? ” he said.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Do you think I want to get rid of you?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Does that seem to you reasonable P asked Lady Oxted, ‘ and, if reasonable, can mortal mind invent a more awful piece of selfishness?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Geoff, Geoff, would you leave me alone — alone in London, like Jessica's first prayer?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Geoff, shall we go for a swim?"
nyp.33433074926894	“ Geoffrey, I am not altogether happy about it. ’ ‘ Why not?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Got everything you want? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Have you for- gotten something?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Have you quarrelled?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Have you read the Home Secretary's speech at Manchester?
nyp.33433074926894	“ How did his face strike you?
nyp.33433074926894	“ I recant that. ” ‘ Can you, then, think of any other motive?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ I ’m working all morning, Geoff,'said Harry, “ what will you do with yourself?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is Harry's safety all?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is Mr. Francis there?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is he going to continue being with you, then?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is it done — is it done? ’ he asked in a muffled voice, his face half- buried in a sofa cushion.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is it not a pity to say a thing like that, ’ he asked, “ when you really have no warrant for it?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is it possible by any means to get hold of this man Sanders? ’ asked Lady Oxted at length.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is the man Colonial Secretary, ’ he asked, ‘ or is he the autocrat of all the Englands?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Is your doctor a really first- rate man?
nyp.33433074926894	“ It is a trap, you mean, to get Harry there?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ It is called “ the Luck, ” he said—“the Luck of the Wails. ”"“ Are you really beginning to believe in that nonsense, Harry?"
nyp.33433074926894	“ Just give me your arm, Uncle Francis, will you?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Not appreciate?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Not the promise you made me? ’ Lady Oxted looked up in surprise.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Shades of the prison- house begin to grow around the growing boy, do they P What prison- house does the man mean, if you please?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Shall I have to hold your hand?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Shall we not go out?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ She still thinks so about it? ’ she asked at length.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Suspicion?
nyp.33433074926894	“ That is all?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ That would be an excellent reason, anyhow, for my finding them quite impossible to understand P “ Do n’t you understand them?
nyp.33433074926894	“ The beastly pot?
nyp.33433074926894	“ To continue — have you ever heard of a Dr. G. Armytage, heart specialist, of 32, Wimpole Street? ’ The effect of this was instantaneous.
nyp.33433074926894	“ Was that suggestion right?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Well?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ What are you afraid of, then?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ What awful fate is it that dogs poor Harry?"
nyp.33433074926894	“ What does it all mean?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ What had he done?
nyp.33433074926894	“ What happened to it afterwards?
nyp.33433074926894	“ What has he done now P “ Old Francis? ’ asked Harry, pointing at the picture.
nyp.33433074926894	“ What have we done, Harry,'he said, ‘ that this should GEOFFREY LEAVES VAIL 231 happen to us?
nyp.33433074926894	“ What more, indeed, could there be?
nyp.33433074926894	“ When did Harry score?'
nyp.33433074926894	“ Where have you been?
nyp.33433074926894	“ Who talked of laughing?
nyp.33433074926894	“ With the men?'
nyp.33433074926894	• Well? ” Harry's voice sank.
nyp.33433074854021	'Can you tell me if Mr. Bellingham had lost the third finger of his left hand?' nyp.33433074854021 'How long have the bones been in the water?'
nyp.33433074854021	'Is this a deformity or has the finger been cut off?' nyp.33433074854021 Affecting it in what respect?"
nyp.33433074854021	And I gather that you have refused this offer?
nyp.33433074854021	And am I to take it that your search over the rest of the house was conducted in a similar manner?
nyp.33433074854021	And have you definitely refused?
nyp.33433074854021	And is Hurst's proposal still open?
nyp.33433074854021	And meantime his property would have been dis- persed?
nyp.33433074854021	And of what use would the knowledge be, if it were obtained?
nyp.33433074854021	And the daughter,said Jervis,"what is she like?"
nyp.33433074854021	And the side gate?
nyp.33433074854021	And there is a French window in the study, is there not?
nyp.33433074854021	And this is the end of our collaboration?
nyp.33433074854021	And what about you? nyp.33433074854021 And what do you want me to do?"
nyp.33433074854021	And what is the significance of this? nyp.33433074854021 And what news do you bring?
nyp.33433074854021	And what will happen to his collection if he is really dead?
nyp.33433074854021	And what will the Court do?
nyp.33433074854021	And you?
nyp.33433074854021	And your own investigations?
nyp.33433074854021	Any other news?
nyp.33433074854021	Anything more?
nyp.33433074854021	Are all the rooms in the house in use as living or sleeping rooms?
nyp.33433074854021	Are these the bones that were found in a watercress- bed at Sidcup?
nyp.33433074854021	Are those instructions relevant to the subject of this inquiry?
nyp.33433074854021	Are you going back to town now?
nyp.33433074854021	Are you not feeling well, sir?
nyp.33433074854021	Are you scornful?
nyp.33433074854021	Are you sure of that?
nyp.33433074854021	Are you the doctor?
nyp.33433074854021	Are you thinking of following my example and Jervis's — deserting the bedside for the Bar?
nyp.33433074854021	As to identification? nyp.33433074854021 At what time did he arrive?"
nyp.33433074854021	But surely one can rely on the judge dealing fairly with a man who is unable to afford a solicitor and counsel?
nyp.33433074854021	But to return to this ques- tion: how will this day week suit you?
nyp.33433074854021	But what would you have? nyp.33433074854021 But where is your father?"
nyp.33433074854021	But who is to apply to the Court? nyp.33433074854021 But who was likely to have had such a motive?
nyp.33433074854021	But why should it have been?
nyp.33433074854021	But why that hungry gaze at those forensic vanities, Berkeley?
nyp.33433074854021	But why would it have been impossible?
nyp.33433074854021	But will George Hurst carry out the provisions of clause two? nyp.33433074854021 But you do n't think he is, do you?"
nyp.33433074854021	But, Ruth dearest,I pleaded despairingly,"may it not become possible some day?
nyp.33433074854021	But,I asked,"what is it they have found?"
nyp.33433074854021	By which he means?
nyp.33433074854021	By whom?
nyp.33433074854021	Can he have disappeared by his own deliberate act? nyp.33433074854021 Can you direct me, Mrs. Jablett, to Nevill's Court?"
nyp.33433074854021	Can you form any opinion as to the cause of death?
nyp.33433074854021	Can you give us any description of the deceased?
nyp.33433074854021	Can you suggest any class of person who would be likely to possess the knowledge and skill to which you refer?
nyp.33433074854021	Can you tell us what his height was?
nyp.33433074854021	Can you tell us, Doctor, how long a time has elapsed since the death of the deceased?
nyp.33433074854021	Could I have something to give me a night's rest?
nyp.33433074854021	Could it have been fastened from the outside?
nyp.33433074854021	Could you see the front gate from the dining- room?
nyp.33433074854021	Did I shout?
nyp.33433074854021	Did he give you permission to repeat the details to me?
nyp.33433074854021	Did he state precisely where he was going?
nyp.33433074854021	Did he wear it constantly?
nyp.33433074854021	Did it, indeed?
nyp.33433074854021	Did n't I say that he would get the copy for us if it existed?
nyp.33433074854021	Did n't you?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you ever meet an in- valid who did n't enjoy talking about his own health? nyp.33433074854021 Did you find my notes of any use?"
nyp.33433074854021	Did you gather anything of importance from the evidence at the inquest?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you look in those rooms when you searched the house?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you look under the sofa?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you note anything else of importance?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you notice the watch- guard particularly?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you receive any communication from him after he left?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you see Mr. Bellingham in a good light?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you want anything of me?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you?
nyp.33433074854021	Did you?
nyp.33433074854021	Do I understand that Godfrey declined the pro- posal?
nyp.33433074854021	Do I? nyp.33433074854021 Do any of these explanations apply to the present case?
nyp.33433074854021	Do n't you find me rather agreeable?
nyp.33433074854021	Do n't you really?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you ever try,she asked, as we turned down the dingy thoroughfare,"to picture familiar places as they looked a couple of hundred years ago?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you happen to know how long it was since the watercress- beds had been cleaned out previously?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you happen to know on which hand he wore it?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you happen to know the testator's age?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you happen to remember what bones have been found?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you have to come upstairs to get from the kit- chen to the dining- room?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you insinuate that I murdered my own brother?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you know anything?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you know that Doctor Berkeley was reduced to the necessity of stopping his ears?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you know,she continued,"I have not touched a piano for nearly two years?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you mean Mr. Godfrey Bellingham?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you mean that — that the gods have been gracious to some other man?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you mean to say that a judge would be justified in giving a decision which he knew to be contrary to the facts? nyp.33433074854021 Do you remember anything remarkable occurring on the twenty- third of November the year before last?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you think he suspects that these remains may be those of your uncle?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you think he will apply to the Court without your sanction?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you think the fellow could have been a but- 228 THE EYE OF OSIRIS cher?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you want to look up the catalogue?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you, Berkeley?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you, in fact, know where he went?
nyp.33433074854021	Does lie wardrobe lock?
nyp.33433074854021	Does the paper give any description of the missing man, sir?
nyp.33433074854021	Had he no other luggage than the suit- case?
nyp.33433074854021	Had you any private information that led you to search this particular neighborhood?
nyp.33433074854021	Has Doctor Norbury any explanation to offer?
nyp.33433074854021	Has the servant made any statement on this sub- ject, sir?
nyp.33433074854021	Have I rung the wrong bell?
nyp.33433074854021	Have I shocked you, Ruth dearest?
nyp.33433074854021	Have they found any considerable part of the body yet? nyp.33433074854021 Have you any theory as to how the arm came to be deposited where it was found?'
nyp.33433074854021	Have you been doing this sort of work long?
nyp.33433074854021	Have you been following these remarkable discov- eries of human bones that have been appearing in the papers?
nyp.33433074854021	Have you formed any theory to account for the facts in this case?
nyp.33433074854021	Have you picked up any facts relating to the parties — and facts, I mean, of course, that it would be proper for you to mention?
nyp.33433074854021	Have you read about them?
nyp.33433074854021	Have you spoken to Mr. Jellicoe about the matter?
nyp.33433074854021	Here you are, then?
nyp.33433074854021	Here, of course, the vital question to be settled is, what is the latest instant at which it is certain that this person was alive? nyp.33433074854021 Horrible, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074854021	How can I answer your question? nyp.33433074854021 How can I tell?"
nyp.33433074854021	How do you do, sir?
nyp.33433074854021	How do you know he did not?
nyp.33433074854021	How do you know he was in the study?
nyp.33433074854021	How do you mean?
nyp.33433074854021	How do you propose to begin?
nyp.33433074854021	How do you suppose he managed it?
nyp.33433074854021	How long have you been laid up?
nyp.33433074854021	How should you describe his figure?
nyp.33433074854021	How significant?
nyp.33433074854021	How?
nyp.33433074854021	I mean was it a chain or a ribbon or a strap?
nyp.33433074854021	I see,grunted Mr. Bellingham; and he added, after a moment's thought:"Now, the question is, Are these bones the remains of my brother John?
nyp.33433074854021	I suggest that Mr. Bellingham left the house quietly while you were on the stairs?
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose I must n't ask what their significance is?
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose he was a very learned man?
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose we must,replied Thorndyke; and, as he drew on his gloves, he asked:"Have you heard from Barnard lately?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose you will begin your inquiries now?
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose, Doctor Thorndyke,he said,"you read the newspapers?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose,said I,"that, under these circum- stances, you would hardly favor Mr. Hurst's proposal to apply for permission to presume death?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose,said Mr. Bellingham,"I ca n't be of any service to you in the matter of identification?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose,she said,"you could n't patch it up so that I could write with it?"
nyp.33433074854021	I wonder if Miss Bellingham would give us a little music?
nyp.33433074854021	I wonder if he has any reason to expect that the body will be found? nyp.33433074854021 I wonder if she could?"
nyp.33433074854021	I wonder,said I,"if you would mind my telling him what you have told me to- night?
nyp.33433074854021	I would give anything to go; but how is it to be managed? nyp.33433074854021 If I make the right inference, will you tell me?"
nyp.33433074854021	In what position is it placed?
nyp.33433074854021	In what respect, sir, is it of interest?
nyp.33433074854021	In what way did he vanish from it?
nyp.33433074854021	Is he here?
nyp.33433074854021	Is he? nyp.33433074854021 Is it a copy of the will?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is it known, then, when they were deposited?
nyp.33433074854021	Is n't that rather sudden?
nyp.33433074854021	Is that near here?
nyp.33433074854021	Is that the divisional surgeon?
nyp.33433074854021	Is the piano a grand or upright?
nyp.33433074854021	Is there a side gate to the premises?
nyp.33433074854021	Is there anything more that you want to say?
nyp.33433074854021	Is there anything to account for the absence of the missing finger?
nyp.33433074854021	Is there sufficient room behind it for a man to con- ceal himself?
nyp.33433074854021	It certainly is not a highly emo- tional book,she said, and then asked:"Have you any other instructions to give?"
nyp.33433074854021	It is a dreadful disfigurement, is n't it?
nyp.33433074854021	May I not come with you, dear?
nyp.33433074854021	May I read the note, Miss Oman?
nyp.33433074854021	Mr. Hurst lives alone, I believe?
nyp.33433074854021	Nothing more I can do for you, sir?
nyp.33433074854021	Now can you tell us why it was cut off?
nyp.33433074854021	Now how does the worm get into the sheep's liver? nyp.33433074854021 Now, how did you know I was bringing some one in to tea?"
nyp.33433074854021	Now, why must n't you?
nyp.33433074854021	Of what nature would they be?
nyp.33433074854021	Oh, do you?
nyp.33433074854021	Oh, is it?
nyp.33433074854021	Perfectly,said Dr. Norbury;"and a most aston- ishing coincidence — but, my dear young lady, had you not better sit down?
nyp.33433074854021	Should you describe him as well preserved or other- wise?
nyp.33433074854021	Since you made Miss Bellingham's acquaintance, perhaps?
nyp.33433074854021	So you never wore your copy?
nyp.33433074854021	So you think Mr. Hurst is moving in the matter?
nyp.33433074854021	Such is the pathological romance of the'liver- rot'; and now what is its connection with this mysterious dis- covery? nyp.33433074854021 Supposing the case should come to a favorable ter- mination, would you allow me to settle your fees in the ordinary way?"
nyp.33433074854021	That's all very well,he grumbled,"but supposing people come here and excite me?"
nyp.33433074854021	That's right; and now wo n't you come in and have a few minutes'chat with my father? nyp.33433074854021 The Egyptologist?
nyp.33433074854021	The case?
nyp.33433074854021	The finger?
nyp.33433074854021	The mask on the face is a portrait, I suppose?
nyp.33433074854021	The practical question is,said I,"what is going to happen?
nyp.33433074854021	The remains might be those of that individual?
nyp.33433074854021	The windowd and the gate both have catches on the have been possible for Mr. Bellingham to let himself out into the lane?
nyp.33433074854021	Then I infer that you do n't agree?
nyp.33433074854021	Then are we to understand,Miss Bellingham asked,"that we are rare and choice products, in a legal sense?"
nyp.33433074854021	Then do you propose to conduct your case in per- son?
nyp.33433074854021	Then how did you verify your suspicions?
nyp.33433074854021	Then they are ready for stuffing now?
nyp.33433074854021	Then to take the third alternative: Did he leave the house unobserved? nyp.33433074854021 Then what makes you sure that the scarab was not attached to it?"
nyp.33433074854021	Then why is he applying for a presumption of death?
nyp.33433074854021	Then why not?
nyp.33433074854021	Then you think that John Bellingham is alive?
nyp.33433074854021	Then you think that the person who dismembered this body must have had some anatomical knowledge and skill?
nyp.33433074854021	Then your opinions on the case,said I,"are based entirely on the facts that have been made public?"
nyp.33433074854021	Then, might not Mr. Bellingham have left the house while you were coming up the stairs?
nyp.33433074854021	There is a case, is there; a suit?
nyp.33433074854021	There was another man in the case, was n't there? nyp.33433074854021 They are proposing to take the case into Court, then?"
nyp.33433074854021	Through a medical agent?
nyp.33433074854021	Thus the identity of the body is established be- yond all doubt, and the question that remains is, Who killed John Bellingham? nyp.33433074854021 To return to the question of the disappearance; you do n't consider it highly improbable that Bellingham might have been murdered by Hurst?"
nyp.33433074854021	To see me?
nyp.33433074854021	Under what circumstances?
nyp.33433074854021	Was it locked when you went in?
nyp.33433074854021	Was that a curative measure?
nyp.33433074854021	Was this an accidental discovery?
nyp.33433074854021	We do n't mind being under an obligation to the Doctor, do we?
nyp.33433074854021	Well, and what about it?
nyp.33433074854021	Well, how does the matter stand,asked Jervis,"on the evidence that we have?
nyp.33433074854021	Well, sir, what do you make of'em?
nyp.33433074854021	Well, what are you conditions?
nyp.33433074854021	Were there any marks or labels on it showing the route by which it had traveled?
nyp.33433074854021	Were you hurt much?
nyp.33433074854021	What are these experiments that Doctor Thorndyke refers to?
nyp.33433074854021	What are you looking for?
nyp.33433074854021	What circumstances?
nyp.33433074854021	What did I tell you?
nyp.33433074854021	What did he say about it?
nyp.33433074854021	What did you do then?
nyp.33433074854021	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074854021	What do you think of it?
nyp.33433074854021	What does he mean by that?
nyp.33433074854021	What else should I come for? nyp.33433074854021 What else would you do with it?
nyp.33433074854021	What furniture is there in the study?
nyp.33433074854021	What happened next?
nyp.33433074854021	What happened then?
nyp.33433074854021	What have we got to do?
nyp.33433074854021	What is it about?
nyp.33433074854021	What is it?
nyp.33433074854021	What is that?
nyp.33433074854021	What is your objection, chick?
nyp.33433074854021	What kind of watch- guard was Mr. Bellingham wearing?
nyp.33433074854021	What makes you say that?
nyp.33433074854021	What motive could this unknown person have had in appearing, announcing himself as John Bellingham, and forthwith vanishing? nyp.33433074854021 What other man?"
nyp.33433074854021	What shall we do?
nyp.33433074854021	What should I be searching for bones for?
nyp.33433074854021	What sort of agree- ment?
nyp.33433074854021	What sort of health had he?
nyp.33433074854021	What sort of stuff is'hibernation'?
nyp.33433074854021	What statement?
nyp.33433074854021	What view did Mr. Jellicoe take?
nyp.33433074854021	What — is — it — that — you — want — to — ask — me about?
nyp.33433074854021	When did you next hear of the testator?
nyp.33433074854021	When you searched the drawing- room, did you look behind the piano?
nyp.33433074854021	When, you did go in, was the window fastened?
nyp.33433074854021	Where are the servants?
nyp.33433074854021	Which way shall we go?
nyp.33433074854021	Who is the executor?
nyp.33433074854021	Who's the long- nosed fellow talking to Jellicoe?
nyp.33433074854021	Whom do you want to see?
nyp.33433074854021	Whose bones are they? nyp.33433074854021 Why ca n't we?"
nyp.33433074854021	Why could it not?
nyp.33433074854021	Why do you say'not very confident'?
nyp.33433074854021	Why is a subject in which we are all keenly interested to be taboo? nyp.33433074854021 Why just now in particular?"
nyp.33433074854021	Why must you take them?
nyp.33433074854021	Why mysterious?
nyp.33433074854021	Why not?
nyp.33433074854021	Why not?
nyp.33433074854021	Why not?
nyp.33433074854021	Why should I? nyp.33433074854021 Why, have n't I got to copy the notes out into long- hand?"
nyp.33433074854021	Why, is Doctor Berkeley interested in our deci- sion?
nyp.33433074854021	Would you care to come in and smoke a cigar until it is time to make your call? nyp.33433074854021 Would you mind writing it down, sir?"
nyp.33433074854021	Would you throw away a whole afternoon's work? nyp.33433074854021 You are a good deal interested in Egyptol- ogy yourself, are n't you?"
nyp.33433074854021	You are not offering that suggestion as an explanation, are you? nyp.33433074854021 You are referring, per- haps, to Stevens versus the Parish Council?"
nyp.33433074854021	You did not attach any importance, then, to the facts that they illustrated?
nyp.33433074854021	You found no signs of such a fracture?
nyp.33433074854021	You have a copy then?
nyp.33433074854021	You have examined the bones at present lying in the mortuary and forming the subject of this inquiry?
nyp.33433074854021	You mean,I said,"that the union of the two parts into a single mass fixes this as the skeleton of an elderly man?"
nyp.33433074854021	You really think that John Bellingham may still be alive?
nyp.33433074854021	You say that it was cut off after death?
nyp.33433074854021	You think that the person who dismembered this body may have been a surgeon or a medical student?
nyp.33433074854021	You'll take your toast and cocoa while they're hot, dear, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074854021	Your head aches, does it?
nyp.33433074854021	'The ground landlord, Mr. John Bellingham; is he not the gentleman who disappeared so mysteriously some time ago?'
nyp.33433074854021	126 THE EYE OF OSIRIS"I thought you might, perhaps, have connected them with the disappearance of your client?"
nyp.33433074854021	204 THE EYE OF OSIRIS"Did he say nothing to the servants as to the prob- able date of his return?"
nyp.33433074854021	224 CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE 225"Were you surprised at the decision?"
nyp.33433074854021	2oS THE EYE OF OSIRIS"I do n't know what you mean by that,"Miss Dobbs began; but the barrister explained:"I mean that I believe he is unmarried?"
nyp.33433074854021	76 THE EYE OF OSIRIS"What sort of man was your uncle?"
nyp.33433074854021	98 THE EYE OF OSIRIS"But wo n't you have to be instructed by a solicitor?"
nyp.33433074854021	A philosopher?
nyp.33433074854021	Above all, would he turn out to be a young man, and bring my aerial castles tumbling about my ears?
nyp.33433074854021	After a short silence, however, he asked:"And what news does my learned brother bring?
nyp.33433074854021	After all, why should I not confide in him?
nyp.33433074854021	Am I very silly, very sentimental?"
nyp.33433074854021	An eccentric savant?
nyp.33433074854021	And are there any fresh developments?"
nyp.33433074854021	And how did he know what I believe?
nyp.33433074854021	And how much was the inquiry advanced by the few entries in my notebook?
nyp.33433074854021	And that being so, is it difficult to understand why she should refuse to allow you to be publicly associated with her?
nyp.33433074854021	And then, after a pause, I asked:"Is there any immediate like- lihood of proceedings of the kind being commenced?"
nyp.33433074854021	And then:"Are you fond of murders?
nyp.33433074854021	And what did he expect to learn from it when he found A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY 181 it?
nyp.33433074854021	And when they do strike, what will Thorndyke have to say?
nyp.33433074854021	And whence could he have obtained it?
nyp.33433074854021	And why should a common headstone be more so than any other?"
nyp.33433074854021	Are there any more bones in that bag?"
nyp.33433074854021	Are they Mr. Bellingham's, think ye?"
nyp.33433074854021	Are you at all interested in the subject?"
nyp.33433074854021	Are you quite sure of that?"
nyp.33433074854021	Are you worrying about your friends'affairs?"
nyp.33433074854021	Badger?"
nyp.33433074854021	Bellingham?"
nyp.33433074854021	But can you explain to me why, after taking all that trouble to deco- rate it, they should have disfigured it with those great smears of bitumen?"
nyp.33433074854021	But how are we to judge which it is?
nyp.33433074854021	But how are we to manage about the practise?"
nyp.33433074854021	But is it clear that this arm was the fellow of the arm that was found at Sidcup?"
nyp.33433074854021	But perhaps you had something more particular in your mind?"
nyp.33433074854021	But perhaps you have taken advice?"
nyp.33433074854021	But there — what is the use of talking?
nyp.33433074854021	But we must really be off now, must n't we, rever- end senior?"
nyp.33433074854021	But what do you think of a man who button- holes a doctor at a dinner- party to retail a list of ailments?"
nyp.33433074854021	But what information could he have?
nyp.33433074854021	But what is it about?
nyp.33433074854021	But what is yours?"
nyp.33433074854021	But what was the explanation?
nyp.33433074854021	But what was there to say?
nyp.33433074854021	But what was your question?"
nyp.33433074854021	But where are your own family tomb- stones?"
nyp.33433074854021	But why discuss con- tingencies of this kind?
nyp.33433074854021	But why was he searching for it here when the hand had been found at Sidcup?
nyp.33433074854021	But why were you thinking of us, and what was the nature of your thoughts?"
nyp.33433074854021	But you do n't mean that these egg- patches and worm- tubes appeared to you to have no significance at all?"
nyp.33433074854021	But, tell me, did you find nothing unex- pected or suggestive about those bones — as to their number and condition, for instance?"
nyp.33433074854021	By the way, those little ob- jects in front of the knees are metallic, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074854021	By the way, what is our position in the matter?
nyp.33433074854021	By the way, what was his name?"
nyp.33433074854021	CARRIES THE READER INTO COURT 209"How did you know he was Mr. John Bellingham?"
nyp.33433074854021	CARRIES THE READER INTO COURT 211"But how can you be certain?"
nyp.33433074854021	CARRIES THE READER INTO COURT 213"What furniture is there in the drawing- room?"
nyp.33433074854021	Can it not be made possible?
nyp.33433074854021	Can you explain why this person should have adopted this unusual and rather inconvenient method?
nyp.33433074854021	Can you remember if he was wearing it in that manner when he came to the house?"
nyp.33433074854021	Can you suggest a motive for this procedure, or can you think of any circumstances which might lead a person to adopt this method by preference?"
nyp.33433074854021	Could the change be due to our friendship?
nyp.33433074854021	Could these remains be those of John Bellingham?
nyp.33433074854021	Did Berkeley tell you of the proposal that he made?"
nyp.33433074854021	Did I do wrong?"
nyp.33433074854021	Did he remember my infernal case, as you call it?"
nyp.33433074854021	Did n't Mr. Jellicoe point out to him how absurd the provisions were?"
nyp.33433074854021	Did you go into the study?"
nyp.33433074854021	Did you see that Polynesian?
nyp.33433074854021	Do I see a blue envelope sticking out of your pocket?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do n't you remember?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do n't you think so?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do n't you think so?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do the appear- ances in your opinion agree with that view?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do the remains that you have examined agree with that description?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do they steal away at closing time into the depths of the Museum and hide themselves until morning in sarcophagi or mummy cases?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you find anything in any of the bones, or all of them together, which would enable you to identify them as the bones of any particular individual?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you know if Jellicoe will act with him?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you know who supplied the information?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you realize that I am old enough to be your mother?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you remember it?
nyp.33433074854021	Do you remember my speaking to you of Doctor Thorndyke?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you suppose that I called to consult the bottle- boy?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you swear that the scarab was not hanging from his watch- guard?"
nyp.33433074854021	Do you want the bag?"
nyp.33433074854021	Does that constitute a disagreement?"
nyp.33433074854021	For what did my discoveries amount to?
nyp.33433074854021	From Godfrey Bellingham?
nyp.33433074854021	Getting no help from her he asked:"Do you think that there is any possibility whatever of a successful issue?"
nyp.33433074854021	Had n't you better give up the idea?"
nyp.33433074854021	Half- past eight, then?
nyp.33433074854021	Has Jervis gone in for the law?"
nyp.33433074854021	Has anything in particular hap- pened?"
nyp.33433074854021	Have the Shepherd Kings been giving trouble?"
nyp.33433074854021	Have we finished?"
nyp.33433074854021	Have you any?"
nyp.33433074854021	Have you never heard of pious Catholics who cherish a devotion to A MUSEUM IDYLL 105 some long- departed saint?
nyp.33433074854021	Have you read through the document, Berkeley?"
nyp.33433074854021	Have you?"
nyp.33433074854021	He did not look like a drinker, but still"Do you smoke much?"
nyp.33433074854021	He is a patient of yours, no doubt?"
nyp.33433074854021	Her occupation and rather recondite learning?
nyp.33433074854021	Her striking personality and exceptional good looks?
nyp.33433074854021	How could it have been disposed of?
nyp.33433074854021	How did I know that you would sympathize and understand?"
nyp.33433074854021	How do I know?
nyp.33433074854021	How do you know he is the late John Bellingham?"
nyp.33433074854021	How does that agree with your sug- gestion?"
nyp.33433074854021	I THE EAVESDROPPER 21 suppose I must n't ask what is the nature of the legal entanglement?"
nyp.33433074854021	I am sure you did n't overlook it, but is n't it a point of some importance?"
nyp.33433074854021	I exclaimed penitently,"have I spoken too soon?
nyp.33433074854021	I have not one single CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE 233 It is a little out of our way, but we are not in a hurry, are we?"
nyp.33433074854021	I merely ask, Is your employer, Mr. Hurst, an unmarried man, or is he not?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose Bellingham has n't a copy?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose it is entirely local?"
nyp.33433074854021	I suppose you do n't chance to know it?
nyp.33433074854021	I think you agree with me, reverend senior?"
nyp.33433074854021	I understand that you place your affairs in my hands?"
nyp.33433074854021	If you had been in Hurst's place, how would you have gone to work?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is he now hiding abroad, or even at home, indifferent alike to the safety of his own considerable property and the peace of mind of his friends?
nyp.33433074854021	Is he taking a holiday?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is n't it dreadful to think of it?
nyp.33433074854021	Is n't it just like a man""Is n't what just like a man?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is n't that so, Davis?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is n't that what it's brought for?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is n't there some story about a pic- ture of Reynolds's in which bitumen had been used?
nyp.33433074854021	Is that Miss Bellingham coming in?
nyp.33433074854021	Is that quite clear?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is there anything to show what was the manner of his disappearance?"
nyp.33433074854021	Is there no chance whatever that this obstacle may be re- moved?"
nyp.33433074854021	It was a proud moment for me when, in response to my interrogative"Yes?"
nyp.33433074854021	It was a quaint idea, was n't it?
nyp.33433074854021	It was a terrible time; and through it all the dreadful questions haunted me continually: When will the blow fall?
nyp.33433074854021	Jablett?"
nyp.33433074854021	Jellicoe?"
nyp.33433074854021	Jellicoe?"
nyp.33433074854021	Jellicoe?"
nyp.33433074854021	Jellicoe?"
nyp.33433074854021	May I ask, sir, if the person who is missing had anything peculiar about that finger?"
nyp.33433074854021	Mr. Jellicoe repeated slowly;"anything more?
nyp.33433074854021	Mr. Loram directed a stupefied gaze at the witness, and in the ensuing silence a plaintiff voice came from the bench:"Is that point material?"
nyp.33433074854021	Not a cheerful experience that, you know, at my time of life, eh?"
nyp.33433074854021	Now after an interval of silence, he asked suddenly:"Is anything amiss, Berkeley?
nyp.33433074854021	Now from whom did you'un- derstand'that?
nyp.33433074854021	Now how could he possibly have got rid of the body without being observed?"
nyp.33433074854021	Now how do you search a house for a living man?
nyp.33433074854021	Now is n't it very remarkable that you should come straight down to Epping Forest, which is in Essex, and search for those bones and find'em?"
nyp.33433074854021	Now what cir- cumstances might have led him to divide it in this pe- culiar manner?"
nyp.33433074854021	Now, did you ever notice whether he was accustomed to wear any rings upon his fingers?"
nyp.33433074854021	Now, where do you advise me to go for the raw materials of conviviality?"
nyp.33433074854021	Oh, and you wo n't forget about the copy of the will for Doctor Thorndyke, will you?"
nyp.33433074854021	On the other hand, if he should carry out clause two, what happens?
nyp.33433074854021	Or do they creep through spaces in the book- shelves and spend the night be- hind the volumes in a congenial atmosphere of leather and antique paper?
nyp.33433074854021	Or her connection with the dramatic mystery of her lost uncle?
nyp.33433074854021	Or is it that death has come upon him unawares by sickness, by accident, or, more probably, by the hand of some unknown criminal?
nyp.33433074854021	Or that he might sentence a man whom he knew to be innocent?"
nyp.33433074854021	Or — more probably — a crank?
nyp.33433074854021	Ruth was still all that she had ever been to me — perhaps even more; and if that had been a rich endowment yesterday, why not to- day also?
nyp.33433074854021	Shall I take the bag?"
nyp.33433074854021	Shall we go and look at some of the galleries?"
nyp.33433074854021	Short?
nyp.33433074854021	So you find the lady doctor no use, after all?"
nyp.33433074854021	So you like Godfrey Bellingham?"
nyp.33433074854021	Supposing that after the Court has decided that he is dead he should return alive?
nyp.33433074854021	THE CORONER'S QUEST 187"Will you kindly tell us what you have observed?"
nyp.33433074854021	THE CORONER'S QUEST 191"So the deceased might not have been taller than five feet eight?"
nyp.33433074854021	That's all right, Doctor; she accepts, do n't you, chick?"
nyp.33433074854021	The cobbler directed an intimidating scowl at the witness and demanded:"Were you searching for bones when you came on these remains?"
nyp.33433074854021	The first is that of identity: who was this person whose body we have just viewed?
nyp.33433074854021	The real Sebek- hotep, I mean?"
nyp.33433074854021	The second is: How, when, and by what means did he come by his death?
nyp.33433074854021	The tragic- faced gentleman, for instance, with the corkscrew ringlets that bob up and down like spiral springs as he walks?
nyp.33433074854021	Then did he remain in it dead?
nyp.33433074854021	Then take a single unit from that million, and what can you predict concerning him?
nyp.33433074854021	Then, in a faint voice, he asked:"How do you suggest that John Bellingham's body came to be inside that cartonnage?"
nyp.33433074854021	There was another interval of silence, and then Dr. Norbury asked suddenly:"But what do you suppose has become of Sebek- hotep?
nyp.33433074854021	To invest it, perhaps, with a dreadful notoriety?"
nyp.33433074854021	To run the risk of drag- ging your honorable name into the sordid transactions of the police- court or the Old Bailey?
nyp.33433074854021	To which she assented, and then asked:"Who is this lady?"
nyp.33433074854021	Was I being conducted to the lair of one of the savants attached to the estab- lishment?
nyp.33433074854021	Was he a miser, hiding himself and his wealth in this obscure court?
nyp.33433074854021	Was it her unusual surroundings?
nyp.33433074854021	Watts?"
nyp.33433074854021	We have so many associations with the dear old Museum, have n't we?"
nyp.33433074854021	We must n't introduce irrelevant topics while the experiment is in progress, must we, Doctor?"
nyp.33433074854021	We shall want some books for to- morrow, sha n't we?"
nyp.33433074854021	What about it?"
nyp.33433074854021	What are Mr. Belling- ham's habits as to his evening meal?
nyp.33433074854021	What are you doing here on a summer afternoon staring into a wig- maker's window?"
nyp.33433074854021	What can I have the pleasure of doing for you?"
nyp.33433074854021	What circumstances were they?"
nyp.33433074854021	What could be the nature of the connection?"
nyp.33433074854021	What did they search for?"
nyp.33433074854021	What did you think of him?"
nyp.33433074854021	What do you know about me?"
nyp.33433074854021	What do you say, Berkeley?"
nyp.33433074854021	What do you say, Doctor Thorndyke?"
nyp.33433074854021	What do you suggest?"
nyp.33433074854021	What evidence is there that the remains found at Sidcup were deposited before those found elsewhere?"
nyp.33433074854021	What is it that the police are waiting for?
nyp.33433074854021	What is it?"
nyp.33433074854021	What is the explanation?
nyp.33433074854021	What is the matter, Berkeley?"
nyp.33433074854021	What is the next thing?
nyp.33433074854021	What is there, Ruth, among Doctor Barnard's music that you can manage?"

nyp.33433074854021	When she had finished her repast she put aside the tray and, opening the shabby handbag, asked:"Do you take any interest in Egyptian history?

nyp.33433074854021	Why do you connect the remains with one locality rather than the various other localities in which other portions of the body were found?"
nyp.33433074854021	Why do you think that is?
nyp.33433074854021	Why not?
nyp.33433074854021	Why should a monument be so stimulating to the ima- gination?
nyp.33433074854021	Why should he disappear?

nyp.33433074909718	It was an instantaneous impulse, a short- livea and passing alienatior of mind; but what roust Mr. Falkland think of that alienation?
nyp.33433074909718	It was extra- ordinary: what could be become of her?
nyp.33433074909718	Kill you?
nyp.33433074909718	MAY 12, 1794 WAR 2011?
nyp.33433074909718	Marney?
nyp.33433074909718	May I not employ my ingenuity to vex him with difficulties; and laugh at the endless labour to which he will be condemned?
nyp.33433074909718	Me?-my?-Poh!
nyp.33433074909718	Might not I as well desire you to leave the county, as you desire me?
nyp.33433074909718	Might not Mr. Falkland reduce him to a condition as wretched and low as mine?
nyp.33433074909718	Might not bis integrity be brow- beaten and defeated as mine had been?
nyp.33433074909718	Mr. Forester turned to him, and said, Well, sir, what is youæ reply to this challenge of your servant?"
nyp.33433074909718	Mr. Grimes, what do you mean?"
nyp.33433074909718	Must he perpetually trample on his betters?
nyp.33433074909718	Must the father be rained, and the son hanged, to glut your resent- ment?
nyp.33433074909718	My first sweetheart was Bet Butterfield, but what of that?
nyp.33433074909718	My mind had been gradually weana?
nyp.33433074909718	Mystery always implies somewhere an un- common portion of wrong; what am I to think of you?
nyp.33433074909718	Nay, I am sure, sir, you- you are not in earnest?
nyp.33433074909718	No, never: Will you come with me, and convince your own eyes?
nyp.33433074909718	No: I will thrast my fingers throngh your ribs, and drink your blood!-Yeu conquer me?
nyp.33433074909718	Oh, ho, you are a gentleman, are you?
nyp.33433074909718	On the other hand, could I pretend to know what evils might result to him from his declaring himself my advocate?
nyp.33433074909718	One of the company cried out, Who goes there?
nyp.33433074909718	One of the first questions that then occurred was, What shall I do with the knowledge I have been so eager to acquire?
nyp.33433074909718	Order the horses to be put to immediately?
nyp.33433074909718	Our family?
nyp.33433074909718	Pooh, what signifies what I am?
nyp.33433074909718	Recollect all that has ever passed under your observation; is it compatible with a mind capable of what is now alleged against me?
nyp.33433074909718	Shall a rascal, that farms his forty acres, pretend to be heard the lord of the manor?
nyp.33433074909718	Shall we, who earn our livelihood by generous daring, be in-.debted for a penny to the vile artifices of the informer?
nyp.33433074909718	She recollected that she had always been upon her guard respecting me; but had she been sufficiently so?
nyp.33433074909718	She started, and cried, Are we dis- covered?
nyp.33433074909718	Should I have dared to ask for what reason I was thus subjected to an eter- nal penance?
nyp.33433074909718	Should I have don that, if my flight had been that of a thief?
nyp.33433074909718	Should I wait, and risk the preservation of my liberty upon the issue?
nyp.33433074909718	Sleep?
nyp.33433074909718	So I only asked him, What he did that for, and whether he had not more conscience than to spoil people's crops of that fashion?
nyp.33433074909718	So, do you hear, sir?
nyp.33433074909718	Squire? yrrel is very headstrong, and you, your honour, might be a little hottish or 80.
nyp.33433074909718	Suall a rascal, that farms his forty acres, pretend to beard the Lord of the Manor?
nyp.33433074909718	Such suffering would probably have soured the kindest temper; what must have been its effect upon Mr. Tyrrel's, always fierce, anrelenting and abrupt?
nyp.33433074909718	That is what you say?
nyp.33433074909718	The accused exposta- lated with their persecutor, and asked him how he could be so barbarous as to persist in frightening a woman?
nyp.33433074909718	The other expressed po marks of re- sentment, but sullenly answered, D- n vou, why did not you take the edge?
nyp.33433074909718	The secret struggle of his mind was, Can toile this be hypocrisy?
nyp.33433074909718	This story had succeeded with persons already prepossessed in my favour hy personal intercourse; but could it sncceed with strangers?
nyp.33433074909718	To what purpose complain, when his complaints are sure to be received with incredulity?
nyp.33433074909718	To whom shall the unfortunate felon appeal?
nyp.33433074909718	Was I to wait the issue of this my missionary undertaking, or was I to withdraw myself immediately?
nyp.33433074909718	Was acquittal useless?
nyp.33433074909718	Was ever mortal so completely the reverse of every thing engrossing and selfish?
nyp.33433074909718	Was existence more variously endeared to them, or had they more mu- merous methods by which to animate and adorn it?
nyp.33433074909718	Was it not dangerous to the whole fraternity, if, without the smallest precaution, she should bring the officers of justice into the midst of them?
nyp.33433074909718	Was it not enough that I was publicly dishonoured?
nyp.33433074909718	Was it pos- sible that, by any unaccountable accident, they should have got an intiraation of my disguise?
nyp.33433074909718	Was it possible I could have forgotten for a moment the awe- creating manners of Falkland, and the inexorable fury I should awake in his soul?
nyp.33433074909718	Was it possible after all that Mr. Falkland should be the murderer?
nyp.33433074909718	Was it possible she alluded to that in her parting words?
nyp.33433074909718	Was there no hope that remained for me?
nyp.33433074909718	Was there no period, past or in prospect, that could give relief to my sufferings?
nyp.33433074909718	We will do her no harm; except so far as we must perform our office, be it how it will, Where would you take her?
nyp.33433074909718	Well then, added I, if it be such as would not be admitted at a criminal tribunal, am I sure it is such as I ought not to admit?
nyp.33433074909718	Well then, the rest of my life must be devoted to slavish subjection?
nyp.33433074909718	Well, Williams, and could you find no reasons there?
nyp.33433074909718	Well, and what did you say to the letter?
nyp.33433074909718	Well, and what then?
nyp.33433074909718	Well, and what then?
nyp.33433074909718	Well, sir: I found a letter written by that Haw- kins the other day: did not that letter fall into your hands?
nyp.33433074909718	Were not those yonr very words?
nyp.33433074909718	Were you any way aiding, abetting, or con- tributing to this murder?
nyp.33433074909718	What are the material ob- stacles that man never subdued?
nyp.33433074909718	What chance had I, after the purgation I was now suffering, that I should come out acquitted at last?
nyp.33433074909718	What circumstances have occurred from that time to the present?
nyp.33433074909718	What could I do?
nyp.33433074909718	What could I say to such a man as this?
nyp.33433074909718	What could exceed the horrors of this situation?
nyp.33433074909718	What do I owe you?
nyp.33433074909718	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074909718	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074909718	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074909718	What do you tell me of Mr. Falkland?
nyp.33433074909718	What does this mean?
nyp.33433074909718	What had I to do with life?
nyp.33433074909718	What have I done to deserve this treat- ment?
nyp.33433074909718	What have I done, that I should deserve to have you for an enemy?
nyp.33433074909718	What is in the wind now?
nyp.33433074909718	What is it that casts me at such au immence distance below you, as to make every thing that relates to me wholly unworthy of consideration?
nyp.33433074909718	What is it that you require of me?
nyp.33433074909718	What is it you know?
nyp.33433074909718	What is it you mean to do?
nyp.33433074909718	What is it you want?
nyp.33433074909718	What is my offence?
nyp.33433074909718	What is the mysteri- ous vengeance that you can yet execute against me?
nyp.33433074909718	What is the reason, sir, that you seem un- thankful and averse to my kindness?
nyp.33433074909718	What is the under- taking so arduous that by some has not been accom- plished?
nyp.33433074909718	What is your name, ha, sirrah?
nyp.33433074909718	What must it have been with this complication of ignominy, base, humiliating and public?
nyp.33433074909718	What noise is that?
nyp.33433074909718	What power can cause that man to die, whose whole soul commands him to continue to live?
nyp.33433074909718	What power is able to hold in chains a mind ardent and determined?
nyp.33433074909718	What probability was there that the trial I had endured in the house of Mr. Falkland was not just as fair as any that might be expected to follow?
nyp.33433074909718	What re- sources had my persecutor at his command?
nyp.33433074909718	What relief had I from these sensations?
nyp.33433074909718	What right have you to make a prisoner of me?
nyp.33433074909718	What signifies calling it mine, if I am not to have the direction of it?
nyp.33433074909718	What sort of a man do you show yourself, you that lay claim to the respect and applause of every one that knowi you?
nyp.33433074909718	What steps did you take upon this discovery?
nyp.33433074909718	What then can I do?
nyp.33433074909718	What then?
nyp.33433074909718	What then?
nyp.33433074909718	What then?
nyp.33433074909718	What though?
nyp.33433074909718	What use have you for these hundred guineas?
nyp.33433074909718	What use, what advantage, what pleasurable e sentiment, could arise from a tame surrender?
nyp.33433074909718	What was I to conclude from ber disappearance?
nyp.33433074909718	What was I to do?
nyp.33433074909718	What was it she intended?
nyp.33433074909718	What was the nature of this power, from which I was to apprehend so much, yet which seemed to leave me at perfect liberty?
nyp.33433074909718	What wonder that he took some interest in a mind in a certain degree congenial with his own?
nyp.33433074909718	What, replied( Mr. Forester, are the grounds of your suspicion?
nyp.33433074909718	When should I derive benefit from these superior advantages, if not at present?
nyp.33433074909718	Where did the printer get these stories?
nyp.33433074909718	Where do you expect to find the hearts of flint, that shall sympathize with yours?
nyp.33433074909718	Where is my child?
nyp.33433074909718	Where is the equality of that?
nyp.33433074909718	Whither was she gone?
nyp.33433074909718	Who are yon, said she?
nyp.33433074909718	Who brought you up?
nyp.33433074909718	Who gave you a right to be my confident?
nyp.33433074909718	Who killed her?
nyp.33433074909718	Who killed her?
nyp.33433074909718	Who told you thai I wished to part with vou?
nyp.33433074909718	Whose orders?
nyp.33433074909718	Why are not you gone?
nyp.33433074909718	Why bring your més- sages to me?
nyp.33433074909718	Why could not I speak the expostulations of my heart, or propose the compromise I meditated?
nyp.33433074909718	Why do you come in here?
nyp.33433074909718	Why do you trifle with me?
nyp.33433074909718	Why have we the power of speech, hut to communicate our thoughts?
nyp.33433074909718	Why is it that I am compelled to this confidence?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should I despair?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should I grieve, for what they bear and are merry?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should I insist upon such aggravations as hunger, heggary, and external wretch- edness?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should I suffer my mind to be in- vaded by unavailing regrets?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should I wait the lingering process of le- gal despotism, and not dare so much as to die but when and how its instruments decreed?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should it be in the power of man to overtake and hold me by force?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should not I be as daring as they?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should we be enemies?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should we both of us be forced to do what neither of us is inclined to?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should we stop?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should you consign all my youthful hopes to suffering and despair?
nyp.33433074909718	Why should you refuse a propos sition dictated by reason, and an equal regard to the interest of each? – Mr.
nyp.33433074909718	Why should you subject me to an eternal penance?
nyp.33433074909718	Why then, exclaimed I, a new train of thought suddenly rush- ing into my mind,-Why should I sustain the contest any longer?
nyp.33433074909718	Why trou- ble me with vour prophecies and forebodings?
nyp.33433074909718	Why was it that I was once more totally overcome 182 ADVENTURES OF by the imperious carriage of Mr. Falkland, and up- able to utter a word?
nyp.33433074909718	Why, man to man, may I not, by the powers of my mind, attain the ascendancy over him?
nyp.33433074909718	Why, when I choose to withdraw myself, should I not be capable of eluding the most vigilant search?
nyp.33433074909718	Why, you han't been tried, ha'you?
nyp.33433074909718	Why, you would not tear her from her bed?
nyp.33433074909718	Will it be wise in us to exchange this prospect for the fruits of strife?
nyp.33433074909718	Will you do that?
nyp.33433074909718	Will you have done?-Do not tell me-- of It can- not, and It can.
nyp.33433074909718	Will you not believe me?
nyp.33433074909718	Will you, for so paltry a consideration, de- liver up the lamb into the jaws of the wolf?
nyp.33433074909718	Would she set out upon such an expedition by her- self?
nyp.33433074909718	Would you lay down this rule for yourself, and suffer no other creature to take the benefit of it?
nyp.33433074909718	Would you strip me naked to the wea- ther in the midst of this depopulated forest?
nyp.33433074909718	Wretch that you are, will nothing move you?
nyp.33433074909718	You are a man of penetration; look at me, do you see any of the marks of guilt?
nyp.33433074909718	You are bailiffs, are not you?
nyp.33433074909718	You are not murderers?
nyp.33433074909718	You expect every body to turn out of his way, and fetch and carry, just as you please?
nyp.33433074909718	You have a good deal of influence with her, and I desire, do you see?!
nyp.33433074909718	You think then that literature and a cultivated mind are the only assurance for the constancy of our principles?
nyp.33433074909718	You want to leave me, do you?
nyp.33433074909718	Young as I was, could it be expected that I should play the philosopher, and put a perpetual curb upon my inclinations?
nyp.33433074909718	Your mother left me a hundred pounds: have you ever offered to make any addition to my fortune?'
nyp.33433074909718	an- swered my assailant, what, I suppose you are as poor as a thief?
nyp.33433074909718	and from what part of Tipperary are you pleased to come?
nyp.33433074909718	and must people in prison be shackled and bound of that fashion?- and where do you lay of nights?
nyp.33433074909718	and must people in prison be shackled and bound of that fashion?- and where do you lay of nights?

mdp.39015063975398	Do you wonder, as I do, why he came here?
mdp.39015063975398	Do you wonder?
mdp.39015063975398	Do you write, Mr Levison? ”"I'm Frank Porch, if you ever read that kind of rub- bish. ”"But I do, really!
mdp.39015063975398	Does Raymonds know? ”"Aunt Emma,"said Ann, glaring at a knitted scarf, “ called him up in Washington to tell him.
mdp.39015063975398	Early, are n't you?
mdp.39015063975398	Eavesdropping, or gossip with Bauer?

mdp.39015063975398	Except in America, that is?
mdp.39015063975398	Extraordinary ex- ception, do n't you think?
mdp.39015063975398	Fingerprints?"
mdp.39015063975398	First, is John Boxworth closely ac- quainted with Christien? ”"No."
mdp.39015063975398	For a bit of a talk? ” “ Any time you say. ”"Shortly before lunch.
mdp.39015063975398	Freddy? ” “ Not badly off.

mdp.39015063975398	Friends?
mdp.39015063975398	Get what I mean?"
mdp.39015063975398	Get your coat, Bauer. ” Tussard said, “ When will you be back? ” “ Friday. ”"Anything I can do for you?"

mdp.39015063975398	Graduated?
mdp.39015063975398	Graduated?
mdp.39015063975398	Had dinner? ” “ Not yet, sir. ”"Have it, then.
mdp.39015063975398	Halfway, she turned and asked, “ I wonder if they were afraid to tell me?
mdp.39015063975398	Has Mr Levison been told?
mdp.39015063975398	Has anybody gone up to his rooms? ”"The afternoon mail was put under his door.
mdp.39015063975398	Has he got any?"
mdp.39015063975398	Has it been suggested that he ate it?
mdp.39015063975398	Has there been talk about that?"
mdp.39015063975398	Has this Ray- monds and his coming up for questioning implied a change in the official attitude?"
mdp.39015063975398	Have I one?"
mdp.39015063975398	Have n't you ever been simple in your life?
mdp.39015063975398	Have some tea?"
mdp.39015063975398	Have they opened his stomach?
mdp.39015063975398	Have you a pass yourself? ”"No."
mdp.39015063975398	Have you a taxi? ”"Thank you, ” said Bennett.
mdp.39015063975398	Have you any questions? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	Have you asked her?"
mdp.39015063975398	Have you heard how Christien is?
mdp.39015063975398	Have you heard how much the police are tell- ing the reporters?"
mdp.39015063975398	He asked, “ Who's this?"
mdp.39015063975398	He asked,"Who'd they find?"
mdp.39015063975398	He could have ex- plained it, and covered himself, early this morning, or even last night. ”"I do n't know. ” “ What do you think of it?"
mdp.39015063975398	He did n't get it. ” “ And Mr Christien? ” “ That's something I ca n't talk about."
mdp.39015063975398	He forced our trap, sprang into his lift, and vanished. ”"Vanished where? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	He has a reputation, Anthony Suttro, has n't he?
mdp.39015063975398	He may ask himself, Why does Boxworth recommend these mugs?
mdp.39015063975398	He said to Tussard, “ Where are you going?
mdp.39015063975398	He said, half to him- self, “ I could do with some sleep tonight. ”"It's all wound up, you think?"
mdp.39015063975398	He said, “ Really, Tussard, do we agree?"
mdp.39015063975398	He showed me when we were taking samples of the machines in his office. ” “ What did you make of the machines?"
mdp.39015063975398	He told me so while we were dancing. ”"What sort of least word? ”"Anything that would mix him up in the case.
mdp.39015063975398	He took poison. ” “ And these other gentlemen at the meeting?
mdp.39015063975398	He was identified, possibly you heard-_?"
mdp.39015063975398	He was killed out there on the 24 “ THERE WAS A terrace, I believe?
mdp.39015063975398	He was there when they did open it, though. ”"Anything found in it?
mdp.39015063975398	He was trying the han- dle again. ” “ And?"
mdp.39015063975398	He won it. ”"Who was this you told? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	He would have signed his name, would n't he, if he'd written it himself?
mdp.39015063975398	He's been questioning them. ” “ Who are they?"
mdp.39015063975398	He's getting better now. ” “ May I look in at him? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	He's in grave danger, and he knows nothing about it, do you understand?
mdp.39015063975398	He's talking to his wife. ” “ You're Fawke, his usual man, I presume? ” “ Yes.
mdp.39015063975398	Hello?

mdp.39015063975398	Her?
mdp.39015063975398	Hey, Markey? ” Markey opened the door.
mdp.39015063975398	Hire- purchase, or what's it called?
mdp.39015063975398	His mind is n't very clear. ” “ What did he say?"
mdp.39015063975398	Holcomb said “ What about him?"
mdp.39015063975398	Honest. ” “ Left it in the car, huh?"
mdp.39015063975398	Hope?"
mdp.39015063975398	Horrible, is n't it? ” “ Threatening, do you believe, or friendly? ”"His eyes were very bright.

mdp.39015063975398	How about some conjecture on what happened tonight?"
mdp.39015063975398	How about the names you sent these things to?
mdp.39015063975398	How are you, Lord Broghville?
mdp.39015063975398	How can I find him? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	How can I get away? ” “ I'll take you, sir. ” “ Why do they want me? ”"Somebody's been doing mental arithmetic.

mdp.39015063975398	How did Suttro get thrown down from the bridge in that place? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	How did he get here?"
mdp.39015063975398	How ill?"
mdp.39015063975398	How is he? ”"She seemed to think he was desperate, sir.
mdp.39015063975398	How long was it you worked here, Raymonds?"
mdp.39015063975398	How was we to know what was in it?
mdp.39015063975398	How, pray, am I to help him?"
mdp.39015063975398	However, will you join me in another game?"
mdp.39015063975398	I asked them, and they did n't see him or anybody else go down or up. ”"Perhaps he went down some other way?"
mdp.39015063975398	I ca n't give you reasonable proof as yet. ” “ Everything kind of comes back to where you start, does n't it?
mdp.39015063975398	I ca n't go out. ” “ You were out between ten and eleven, were n't you?"
mdp.39015063975398	I came back and got fired. ” “ Ever quarrel with anybody here, any of your bosses?"
mdp.39015063975398	I did n't get anywhere with him. ” “ What name? ” “ Tussard. ” “ Ah?
mdp.39015063975398	I did n't get anywhere with him. ” “ What name? ” “ Tussard. ” “ Ah?
mdp.39015063975398	I did n't show up for work for two days. ” “ That's right. ” “ And when you came back to work?"
mdp.39015063975398	I did n't think you'd like having me bring a cop to tea. ” “ You fought with a policeman? ” “ I would n't call it a fight.
mdp.39015063975398	I do n't know what I'm here for. ”"Where did you get that Chevrolet?"
mdp.39015063975398	I do n't like it. ” “ Calling up from the Lambs'or the Friars'or the Astor? ”"It's serious, and you know it.
mdp.39015063975398	I do n't suppose he could have done anything else, could he?
mdp.39015063975398	I do n't think he was threatening, really, though he frightened me. ” “ You noticed his eyes particularly?"
mdp.39015063975398	I follow her like a starving dog, and I hate myself for doing it. ” “ What will you do when she marries? ” “ I've wondered.
mdp.39015063975398	I gave it to him. ”"Ah?
mdp.39015063975398	I have these occasional fits of indigestion. ”"Indeed?"
mdp.39015063975398	I know they think there's something odd about us, about my aunt and me. ”"Why? ” “ The questions they asked.
mdp.39015063975398	I let the murderer know I would come here tonight. ”"How?"
mdp.39015063975398	I mean, they wo n't be inclined to drag you into any of their reports?
mdp.39015063975398	I mean- by the way, what is his name?"
mdp.39015063975398	I rang it three or four times. ” “ What number, pray? ” “ My own.
mdp.39015063975398	I said, “ Lorry?
mdp.39015063975398	I say, do you go to the cinema?"
mdp.39015063975398	I seem to be seeing it all plain as day. ” Suttro said, “ But is the watchman still missing?
mdp.39015063975398	I suppose you notice how neatly the pieces fall into place?"
mdp.39015063975398	I suppose you're the reason for those re- porters downstairs? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	I think he'd do any- thing for her. ”"Murder, for example? ”"I could n't give an--"• “ Come, Raymonds!
mdp.39015063975398	I think it was Mr Boxworth who called up the police. ”"It was raining then?"
mdp.39015063975398	I told you, I think, I had n't decided properly?
mdp.39015063975398	I under- stood..."“ I'll take it. ” “ And you'll say hello to Hobey for me, if you see him?"
mdp.39015063975398	I was working it out- and just when you knocked I was three thousand and seventy dollars in the red- and that ca n't be right, can it?
mdp.39015063975398	I was- by the way, what others?

mdp.39015063975398	I wonder if you can understand?
mdp.39015063975398	I'd like to get my hands on the devil who wrote it. ”"The fire?"
mdp.39015063975398	I'll be dashed. ” “ Going, sir?"
mdp.39015063975398	I'm keeping you from your hell?
mdp.39015063975398	I'm terribly afraid Tony's going to make a mistake. ” “ What mistake?"
mdp.39015063975398	Identification of any sort? ”"I do n't think so.
mdp.39015063975398	If Christien lives how long will he be in- capable? ”"I ca n't say.
mdp.39015063975398	If I tell you, will you remember that it's probably meaningless? ”"I want to know."
mdp.39015063975398	If Tony or I had any doubts about each other, we might put it off; but we have n't. ”"No doubts about this murderer?"
mdp.39015063975398	If you do n't mind my asking?"
mdp.39015063975398	If you retired?
mdp.39015063975398	If you return, you'll encounter them. ” “ What the devil are you talking about? ”"I'm very sorry, sir.
mdp.39015063975398	If, as you say, the guilty person is not prominent? ” “ My dear chap, I have accomplished what I set out to do.

mdp.39015063975398	Is Mr Christien still guilty? ” Tussard took a piece of toast, spoiled supper or no spoiled supper.
mdp.39015063975398	Is he coming? ” “ He implied he would, sir."
mdp.39015063975398	Is he deeply in love with Ann? ” Raymonds admitted it, nodding his head.
mdp.39015063975398	Is he friendly with Ann? ”"He used to be.
mdp.39015063975398	Is my time my own?
mdp.39015063975398	Is n't he in his office?"
mdp.39015063975398	Is n't that so? ” “ I would n't know."
mdp.39015063975398	Is that agreed?
mdp.39015063975398	Is that reasonable?
mdp.39015063975398	Is that right?"
mdp.39015063975398	Is there anybody called Lord Broghville here, do you know?"
mdp.39015063975398	Is this straight?"
mdp.39015063975398	It came by “ The police?"
mdp.39015063975398	It is a dismal story, is n't it?
mdp.39015063975398	It is n't much help, is it?
mdp.39015063975398	It is universal, English, is n't it?
mdp.39015063975398	It seemed probable that he was dead. ” “ Why the top of the elevator?"
mdp.39015063975398	It sticks in her crop, you know. ” “ Dare say the police asked about the grievance?"
mdp.39015063975398	It would be no trouble for you, Mr Bennett, I'm sure..."“ Do what for him?"
mdp.39015063975398	It's hard to say. ” “ Conscious? ” “ For a moment.

mdp.39015063975398	Just the same..."Well, make anything out of it?".
mdp.39015063975398	Just this, I suppose. ” “ Unsatisfactory, is n't it?"

mdp.39015063975398	Levison asked, “ What's odd? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	Levison said, “ This agency you recommended wo n't bother you, will they?

mdp.39015063975398	“ Ah, may we go? ” “ Get the- go on, go anywhere you want to."
mdp.39015063975398	“ Ah? ”"When I think of going home to bed, I remember that my home and my bed are gutted.

mdp.39015063975398	“ Alone?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ And Broghville? ” said Bennett.
mdp.39015063975398	“ And Mr Suttro?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ And all three lost their notices?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ And he?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Any theory?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Anything gone wrong? ” “ Eh?

mdp.39015063975398	“ Are you safe?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ As a witness?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Asked her? ” “ Come, come, Raymonds!"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Aunt Emma's suggestion, eh?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Besides, ” she said, how do you know Mr Ben- nett does n't like to be told these things?
mdp.39015063975398	“ But what will they do to you, Hobey?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Can he be cut off?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Clothing, and toilet articles. ” “ Property of the dead man?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Did he telephone at twenty to eight?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Did she say so? ”"She will. ” Holcomb's eyes ached.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Did you see Hobey Raymonds?"

mdp.39015063975398	“ Does Mr Suttro play? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Time for us to go, ” said Suttro, bearing his watch before him.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Does he know?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Does n't Lowes Levison know?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Drunk?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Finger prints? ” asked Levison.

mdp.39015063975398	“ Hope, damn you?
mdp.39015063975398	“ How about the newspapers?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ How am I to know you're competent if I do n't ask you?
mdp.39015063975398	“ How do you know I do n't like it?
mdp.39015063975398	“ I say, does our unfortunate subject distress you? ” “ No, not in the least."
mdp.39015063975398	“ I suppose there was. ” “ What, pray?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ I wanted to ask you, what was the purpose of the meeting last night?".
mdp.39015063975398	“ If it does stop as soon as I go away, they'll think I did it, wo n't they?".
mdp.39015063975398	“ It does n't matter, really. ” “ Dinner with me?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ It seems to me you're an erratic kind of fellow, are n't you?
mdp.39015063975398	“ It was n't suicide, of course. ”"Poor John Boxworth. ” “ How the devil did he get into it? ”"Hard to understand.
mdp.39015063975398	“ It was stolen and returned? ”"Exactly."
mdp.39015063975398	“ It was — we found it. ” “ Maybe somebody gave you fifty bucks to find it, and dump it in the river?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Laundry, that sort of thing?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Miss Crofts, I presume?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Miss Emma Whittacker telephoned this morning, sir. ” “ Asking for what? ” “ For Raymonds, sir. ” “ Ah.
mdp.39015063975398	“ News of Raymonds? ” “ None, sir."
mdp.39015063975398	“ No lights on the car, he says. ”"Description? ” “ Chevrolet coup', 1934."
mdp.39015063975398	“ No, you have?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Not according to your evidence. ” “ What other evidence is there? ” “ The murderer's own.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Of course. ” “ Where can I reach you, just in case?".
mdp.39015063975398	“ Oh? ” “ The secretary, Miss Bannerman, opens his mail and weeds out all the ads and stuff.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Old man, in his underwear, wrapped up in a couple blankets. ”"Was the car in a light place or a dark place, when you found it?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Other news?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Perhaps. ” “ Mr Boxworth? ”"No.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Quarter past eleven. ” “ Was Christien alone?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Raining?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Really?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Really? ” snorted Bennett, and vanished like an out- raged god into the elevator.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Recognize him? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Resign what?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Serious?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Shall we walk round the Moore House Lobby, Mr Bennett?
mdp.39015063975398	“ She tried to bluff it out, but it did n't work. ”"She's the man you were looking for?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ She was, as you call it, grouchy?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Spoil my supper if I do. ” “ During your search, Tussard, you looked for the stolen announcement, I presume?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Stuff I've looked up about their pasts, eh? ” “ Precisely."
mdp.39015063975398	“ Telephoning?
mdp.39015063975398	“ That chair all right, sir?
mdp.39015063975398	“ That's Emma Whittacker. ” “ The woman who sent out those advertisements?
mdp.39015063975398	“ That's right. ” “ How do you know,"asked Levison,"he died at eight? ” “ Condition of the body,"said Tussard.
mdp.39015063975398	“ The police want you, sir. ” “ What? ” “ They're at our hotel, sir.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Then one of these five people must have killed the chap, if Christien did n't?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ There could be. ” “ We must find it. ” “ Why, sir?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ There's something on your mind, is n't there? ” “ The Englishman hired a private detective this morn- ing. ” “ That's news.
mdp.39015063975398	“ These five were convenient to the crime, then? ” “ Yes."
mdp.39015063975398	“ They found him?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ They wanted me to bring him to, so he could talk. ” “ Did he?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ To take my mind off my troubles?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Truth wo n't hurt her, you know. ”"He never came near her. ”"A reference to him?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Tussard thinks I ought to be able to tell him more about him, but I ca n't. ” “ Where did you see him?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Tussard?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Twenty- second near Sixth; north side of the street. ”"What kind of car was it, again?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Unfortunately, no. ”"Is it important?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Want him up?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ We might wangle out of that, as the grandson puts it, might we not?
mdp.39015063975398	“ What Chevrolet?
mdp.39015063975398	“ What did it contain?".
mdp.39015063975398	“ What do you know about this business?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What do you say? ” Tussard asked, looking up at Ben- net.
mdp.39015063975398	“ What do you think of it now, sir? ”.
mdp.39015063975398	“ What evidence of it? ” “ Evidence?
mdp.39015063975398	“ What evidence of it? ” “ Evidence?
mdp.39015063975398	“ What happened to the policeman, Bauer?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What happened?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What has this to do with Mr Suttro's resigning?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What is it?
mdp.39015063975398	“ What is it?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What now, sir?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What now, sir?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What time did it hap- pen? ” “ About eight, or a little before. ”"Was the shot heard?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What time did it hap- pen? ” “ About eight, or a little before. ”"Was the shot heard?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What time did it happen, pray?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ What, Tussard? ” “ Came for a talk. ” “ Then talk, my dear chap. ” “ Last night I did n't know who you were."
mdp.39015063975398	“ What, sir?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ When?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Where does the cripple fit in?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Where? ”"Well, not right here, anyhow."
mdp.39015063975398	“ Who do the police think did it?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Who is Raymonds? ” “ A young gent who used to work here.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Who was he? ”"I'm sure I do n't know.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Who will succeed Christien?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Who, pray?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Whose? ” “ The watchman's.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Why are you so reluctant, Mr Bennett, to tell me?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Why is n't it?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Why not?
mdp.39015063975398	“ Why, pray? ”"The District Attorney's office. ” “ Oh, come! ”"Suttro had a pretty nasty fire over at his house.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Why? ” “ They got together about eleven, they did n't have Bome papers, I was supposed to bring them up, they had to wait for me.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Will you do something, Geoffrey?
mdp.39015063975398	“ With Suttro or Levison? ” “ Not particularly. ”"Would he conceal information about one of them?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ With Suttro or Levison? ” “ Not particularly. ”"Would he conceal information about one of them?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Wrong floor? ” “ Not at all, ” said Bennett.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Yes, ma'm?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Yes, sir. ”"Just discovered his absence, I take it? ” “ Yes, sir.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Yes. ” “ When?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Yes. ”"Who found it, you or Mike? ”"Mike, he opened the back.
mdp.39015063975398	“ Yet the murdered man is n't known to you?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ You are in touch with them, are n't you, Holcomb?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ You're Tussard, I presume?
mdp.39015063975398	“ You?"
mdp.39015063975398	“ Your soul is Tussard's now. ” “ Is Suttro still here?"
mdp.39015063975398	• “ Advice?
nyp.33433075744742	, Could he do it?
nyp.33433075744742	- “ Have you none of your own people you want to remember? ” he asked, as he raised his head from the paper.
nyp.33433075744742	183 shackles of the dead past?
nyp.33433075744742	22,222?
nyp.33433075744742	263 “ Almost? ” “ Yes — almost; ” and his heart began to beat furi- ously.
nyp.33433075744742	7 I “ How do I know you will be here — three weeks hence? ” “ This business is all I have to depend on.
nyp.33433075744742	91 “ You know the Islands pretty well? ” asked Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	All I could get from her was that she brings an introduction from Mr. Brodie. ” “ From Mr. Brodie? ” echoed Ayrton.
nyp.33433075744742	And do you suppose there are more like it? ” “ Maybe all like it, for all we can tell.
nyp.33433075744742	Angaray, do you mean business?
nyp.33433075744742	Any difficulty about the crew? ” “ Difficulty?
nyp.33433075744742	Any difficulty about the crew? ” “ Difficulty?
nyp.33433075744742	Any idea how much he's had you for? ” “ Not the slightest.
nyp.33433075744742	Anything new in busi- ness? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075744742	But is there no danger of other reefs, here- abouts?
nyp.33433075744742	But maybe Brodie wrote you himself? ” “ Er — no — not yet.
nyp.33433075744742	But pres- ently she asked: “ Can he — the man you name — atone for his sin in any way? ” “ I fear not.
nyp.33433075744742	But tell me, captain, do your premonitions ever come true? ” “ Why, certainly they do.
nyp.33433075744742	But — your husband? ” “ I ran up while you were fighting.
nyp.33433075744742	Ca n't you just see the old boy at it?

nyp.33433075744742	Can you advise on the matter?
nyp.33433075744742	Can you bring some food?
nyp.33433075744742	Can you get the goods selected and de- livered in time? ” “ Trust me, ” said Barracott, bounding up again.
nyp.33433075744742	Can you give an eye to my two while I go to the schooner and get some things?
nyp.33433075744742	Can you hold that arm while I lift him out?
nyp.33433075744742	Can you stand it? ” “ Yes, I can help.
nyp.33433075744742	Could Brodie have come to life in the Safe De- posit?
nyp.33433075744742	Could he have mistaken the place? ” “ Not likely.
nyp.33433075744742	Could she ever bring them up again?
nyp.33433075744742	Did you find two bad ones this morning instead of one? ” she asked with a smile.
nyp.33433075744742	Did you notice it yourself? ” “ Yes, ” said Ayrton grimly, rolling his cigar to the other side of his mouth, between his teeth.
nyp.33433075744742	Do you remember what the Master's sentence was?
nyp.33433075744742	Do you want to say anything more to me before you go? ” “ Nothing, ” said Ayrton.
nyp.33433075744742	Do you wish it?
nyp.33433075744742	Give up everything that made life possible — the present — the future?
nyp.33433075744742	Had Jenks, against his instructions, opened the case while his back was turned?
nyp.33433075744742	Have I been away three years?
nyp.33433075744742	He could just imagine those other sharks down below saying, “ Hello, old man, what's doing to- day?
nyp.33433075744742	He was boiling with anger at what had just happened, and his brain was beating like a metronome to the tune of “ What does it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	He's a character. ” “ Anything wrong with him? ” “ Oh, nothing wrong,'cept that he's cracked. ” “ Cracked?
nyp.33433075744742	He's a character. ” “ Anything wrong with him? ” “ Oh, nothing wrong,'cept that he's cracked. ” “ Cracked?

nyp.33433075744742	Hear her crying outside? ” “ Why does she want to get in? ” said Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	His constant question was, “ How's her head? ” and their regular reply, “ Straight for the island, ” never failed to satisfy and pacify him.
nyp.33433075744742	How are we getting on? ” “ So far, first- rate, ” said Barracott.
nyp.33433075744742	How could he P. How could he?
nyp.33433075744742	How could he go back to it?
nyp.33433075744742	How did it get there?
nyp.33433075744742	How did you know about them? ” “ We were here four days ago. ” “ And we reached here three days ago.

nyp.33433075744742	How long do you reckon he'll be away, Mr. Ayrton? ” “ A year, maybe; ” and Ayrton passed on up the stairs to the office.
nyp.33433075744742	How was that managed? ” AN AWGEL OF LIGHT.
nyp.33433075744742	I am waiting for the end. ” “ And you have no fear? ” “ Fear?
nyp.33433075744742	I am waiting for the end. ” “ And you have no fear? ” “ Fear?
nyp.33433075744742	I fear he wo n't last long. ” “ And the dead men? ” “ I dragged them to the sea and threw them in.
nyp.33433075744742	I have stopped it as well as I could. ” “ And they have gone? ” “ Yes, the cowardly brutes.
nyp.33433075744742	I told you he would, did n't I? ” GROUND SMAZZ.
nyp.33433075744742	If he marries a woman better than himself he works up to her. ” WHY DON'T YOU SPEAR FOR YOURSELF?
nyp.33433075744742	If it was the identi- cal lid, how in the devil's name had it got there?
nyp.33433075744742	If she had asked him to kindly bring the schooner up to her door, would he not have spent himself in trying?
nyp.33433075744742	In the devil's name, what did it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	Io I “ No dyspepsia about it, just premonition, and it always came true. ” “ You do n't feel that way now? ” “ Not by a very long way.

nyp.33433075744742	Is Brodie alive?
nyp.33433075744742	Is he well? ” 68 GOD ’S PRISOAVER.
nyp.33433075744742	Is there water? ” “ There is a spring at the other end of the ridge.
nyp.33433075744742	Never told me to wait, did n't yer?
nyp.33433075744742	No restitution or atonement is pos- sible. ” “ And he has suffered punishment? ” “ Aye!
nyp.33433075744742	No?
nyp.33433075744742	Now do you understand clearly? ” “ Perfectly, Mr. Ayrton.
nyp.33433075744742	Now, can you help me to dress it?
nyp.33433075744742	Old Jakins been loading you up?
nyp.33433075744742	One and two are O. K. I would like to make a clean board. ” “ And the men?
nyp.33433075744742	Or was it all some horrible fantastic trick of his imagination?
nyp.33433075744742	Rifle ready?
nyp.33433075744742	Seen anything in the nature of a dead body or so floating about?
nyp.33433075744742	Shall I do so? ” “ Yes, that will help.
nyp.33433075744742	So another couple of weeks will see him comfortably settled in his Celestial home? ” “ Hope so, ” Ayrton would grimly reply.
nyp.33433075744742	Something new in the way of a joke, was n't it? ” “ Not at all, dear boy, not at all!
nyp.33433075744742	The Incarnation, the Resurrection, and so On? ” “ No, thank God, I can not!
nyp.33433075744742	The future?
nyp.33433075744742	The hole was empty, you say? ” “ Nothing in it but a few small stones, as far as I could see.
nyp.33433075744742	Then, if Brodie's body was still in the case, how could Brodie write that letter from Colombo, and who else but Brodie could possibly have written it?
nyp.33433075744742	They might be useful. ” “ Useful? ” he said, springing up.
nyp.33433075744742	Was Bloxham fooling him?
nyp.33433075744742	Was he going crazy?
nyp.33433075744742	Was it a wretched joke of Bloxham's?
nyp.33433075744742	Was it pos- sible?
nyp.33433075744742	Was it possible the case was not as he left it?
nyp.33433075744742	Was it reasonable?
nyp.33433075744742	We're going to lick them right out of creation. ” “ Is there no chance of their having come back to rescue us? ” ventured Mrs. Brodie timidly.
nyp.33433075744742	We've got to make it up. ” “ But what's the hurry, captain?
nyp.33433075744742	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433075744742	What did it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	What do you make of that? ” The captain looked at the mate, and the mate looked mystified.
nyp.33433075744742	What does it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	What in heaven's name did it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	What in the name of all that was horrible could this re- incarnate John Brodie want with the other John Brodie's body?
nyp.33433075744742	What is it? ” “ About Brodie. ” Ayrton offered Bloxham a cigar, and lit one himself.
nyp.33433075744742	What is the latest drug you have been trying — without effect? ” Ayrton named his latest specialty in soporifics.
nyp.33433075744742	What is this — and this — and this? ” His voice had lapsed into a hiss.
nyp.33433075744742	What made you think he did n't go? ” “ Well, I was at the station seeing a friend off who's going out by the same boat.
nyp.33433075744742	What should I fear? ” Ayrton turned and looked into her eyes, and saw there what he had never seen before — the Perfect Peace.
nyp.33433075744742	What was it Bloxham had said?
nyp.33433075744742	What was it you were beginning to tell me?
nyp.33433075744742	What's he want to turn her round for each day and dodder about doin’ nothing?
nyp.33433075744742	What's to be done? ” “ I should say the risk is less in leaving it.
nyp.33433075744742	What's wrong?
nyp.33433075744742	What's wrong? ” cried An- garay, quite unable to keep silence.
nyp.33433075744742	When do you want to start? ” “ As soon as you like. ” “ Four days from to- day suit you? ” “ Can you manage it in the time?
nyp.33433075744742	When do you want to start? ” “ As soon as you like. ” “ Four days from to- day suit you? ” “ Can you manage it in the time?
nyp.33433075744742	When do you want to start? ” “ As soon as you like. ” “ Four days from to- day suit you? ” “ Can you manage it in the time?
nyp.33433075744742	Where is Miss Boone to- day?
nyp.33433075744742	Where is he? ” She looked at Ericsson.
nyp.33433075744742	Where is the youngster? ” 172 GO/ D ’S PA’/SOAVER.
nyp.33433075744742	Where's Mr. Angaray? ” he cried.
nyp.33433075744742	Who knows?
nyp.33433075744742	Who shall attempt to understand the inner workings of a woman's heart?
nyp.33433075744742	Who's dead now? ” “ No one's dead.
nyp.33433075744742	Why did he not cut the thread and escape?
nyp.33433075744742	Why did n't I take proper observations on the island and locate it to a mile?
nyp.33433075744742	Why did you come back? ” “ The captain brought us back. ” “ God bless him for it all his life.
nyp.33433075744742	Why stir the matter up?
nyp.33433075744742	Will you let me nurse him? ” But that, of course, was the mother's privilege, and she would not hear of surrendering it.
nyp.33433075744742	Will you make a kettle of tea for us, Mrs. Brodie?
nyp.33433075744742	Will you tell me frankly what you think of him?
nyp.33433075744742	Wo n't you come over and see him? ” she said.
nyp.33433075744742	Would he turn nasty, or would he accept the situation quietly and sensibly?
nyp.33433075744742	Would he?
nyp.33433075744742	Would you mind bring- ing Ericsson over, Mr. Angaray?
nyp.33433075744742	You say he went straight to it? ” “ As straight as a shot, and jumped into it with a whoop. ” “ Aye, aye!
nyp.33433075744742	You understand? ” “ Perfectly, Mr. Ayrton.
nyp.33433075744742	You want an investigation made at once, I suppose?
nyp.33433075744742	he was outside the pale — what in the name of the devil did it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	how do I know?
nyp.33433075744742	that they will, or that they wo n't? ” “ Either!
nyp.33433075744742	they come? ” was offered up by the three weary watchers.
nyp.33433075744742	what's wrong? ” asked Ayrton.
nyp.33433075744742	where can he be?
nyp.33433075744742	who would say, “ What has got the old man, and why this unholy haste?
nyp.33433075744742	why DON'T YoU SPEAK FoR YOURSELF, JOHN?
nyp.33433075744742	you did n't really think that was one of your old boats? ” “ Aye!
nyp.33433075744742	“ And how come you to be in this plight? ” asked Angaray of the woman.
nyp.33433075744742	“ And suppose we struck a hidden reef while we're going ahead like this? ” “ We ’d all be at the bottom inside of five minutes.
nyp.33433075744742	“ And the gold? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433075744742	“ And the steamer? ” he asked, biting hard into the ZAV A PER Y 77GH 7"FA CE.
nyp.33433075744742	“ And what is your opinion of our prospects, Mr. Ericsson? ” asked Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	“ And which of those two schooners is yours? ” “ Both, monsieur le capitaine.
nyp.33433075744742	“ And, meanwhile, what about the fever and the deaths?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Are the meat tins behaving worse than usual?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Are you alone? ” asked Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Are you coming? ” “ Yes, I'm coming, ” he said; and dropped into the boat by Barracott's side.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Brodie caught the boat, after all! ” “ Brodie — caught — the- boat — after — all! ” What did it mean?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Brodie shown any signs of life yet, Ayrton? ” an: other would ask.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Come and see if you can see anything. ” “ Where away? ” asked Angaray, as he swung up alongside.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Come out, Mr. Angaray, ” he said quietly, “ he's gone. ” “ Who?—the captain?—where? ” “ I can only guess. ” 158 GOD'S PRISOAVER.
nyp.33433075744742	“ D it, are you gone dumb? ” Never in his whole fifteen years had McCaskie, or any of his staff, heard John Brodie use an oath before.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Do you think they ever will return? ” “ I am beginning to fear it. ” “ Which?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Do you think they ever will return? ” “ I am beginning to fear it. ” “ Which?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Does it concern — another woman? ” she asked after a while, with a slight catch in her voice at the last words.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Does she give her name? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Gad! ” said one of the brainless ones, “ what's wrong with him? ” “ Hurt his thumbl ” replied another sententiously.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Good God, what ’s to be done?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Good heavens, where's he gone? ” cried Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Got your crew all right? ” asked Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Had you anything to do with the schooner there? ” “ Yes, that was our ship.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Hello, captain, anything in sight? ” he called up.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Hello, what's up? ” he asked cheerfully.
nyp.33433075744742	“ How did you contrive? ” “ I scooped a big hole in the side of yonder bank.
nyp.33433075744742	“ How did you manage it?
nyp.33433075744742	“ How much shall a man be forgiven? ” The girl's eyes deepened and brightened.
nyp.33433075744742	“ How soon do you suppose she'll think of marry- ing again? ” “ Good heavens, man!
nyp.33433075744742	“ How's her head? ” asked the latter suddenly and briskly.
nyp.33433075744742	“ How's that? ”- “ Listen here.
nyp.33433075744742	“ I hope he is not badly hurt?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Is it all a mistake? ” The mate looked at him for a moment musingly, and then shook his head.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Is not this island volcanic? ” “ I believe so.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Is the boy back from Mr. Ayrton's yet? ” “ Not yet, sir.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Is the boy back from Mr. Ayrton's yet? ” “ Not yet, sir.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Is this a joke, captain, or are you in earnest? ” “ Dead, ” said the captain laconically.
nyp.33433075744742	“ It ’s almost too soon yet. ” “ And what can we do for you, Mr. Ayrton? ” Ayrton tossed him McCaskie's letters.
nyp.33433075744742	“ May I speak to you?
nyp.33433075744742	“ No fear of coming to grief?
nyp.33433075744742	“ No, what's wrong?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Not much Christian philanthropy about them, is there? ” whispered Barracott.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Now then, guv'nor, ” said a hoarse voice, “ have yer forgot I'm a- waitin'here for over an hour? ” “ I never told you to wait. ” “ Ho!
nyp.33433075744742	“ Promise!—Promise! ” Could he do it?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Revolver all right? ” whispered the captain, as he turned away.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Saw you ever the like of this, Mr. Angaray?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Say it's what? ” “ They call it Mr. Brodie's tombstone, sir! ” “ Where's Jenks? ” asked Ayrton sharply.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Say it's what? ” “ They call it Mr. Brodie's tombstone, sir! ” “ Where's Jenks? ” asked Ayrton sharply.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Shall I tell you the story, Mr. Angaray?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Shall I wait, Mr. Brodie?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Shall I wait, Mr. Brodie?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Shall we take it or leave it?
nyp.33433075744742	“ So you've tumbled across Barracott, have you?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Something in the water ahead, sir. ” “ What is it? ” “ Ca n't make out.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Tell me, Miss Boone, whom did Cain marry? ” “ I ’m sure I do n’t know. ” “ Ah, well!
nyp.33433075744742	“ They never came? ” she said.
nyp.33433075744742	“ This is your final decision? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Trade? ” “ No, change — amusement. ” Another long pause, while the chewer's jaws worked slowly and regularly.
nyp.33433075744742	“ We came to look for him. ” “ How? ” she said wonderingly.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well! ” cried Barracott, in a high- strung voice, “ what do you make of that? ” Angaray shook his head helplessly.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well, Ayrton, heard the news? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well, Ayrton, what's the news from Brodie? ” was the usual greeting.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well, I guess I should. ” “ Trading? ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well, Mr. Ayrton, what news have you of Mr. Brodie? ” “ None yet, ” said Ayrton, eying closely every ex- 28 GOD ’S PRISOAVER.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well, what's wrong now? ” he asked, peering round at their faces.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well? ” he queried, “ want her? ” THE FIRST STEP TOWARD FREEDOM.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well? ” he queried, “ want her? ” THE FIRST STEP TOWARD FREEDOM.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well? ” he said at last.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Well? ” she said at last.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What can possibly be the meaning of it? ” “ It beats me flat, ” said the captain.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What did you do with Brodie the other night? ” Ayrton got a grip of himself in the most literal sense.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What did you say is that man's name? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What do you think about it, Ericsson? ” asked Angaray, as he flung himself on his bed.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What does it mean? ” “ It means, ” said Barracott, with a triumphant laugh, “ that we're getting near the end.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What is all that to me, Monsieur Ayrton?
nyp.33433075744742	“ What is it, captain?
nyp.33433075744742	“ What is it? ” he asked, and looked at Barracott.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What is it? ” whispered Angaray, startled.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What is wrong now?
nyp.33433075744742	“ What kind of a coil is this? ” A bullet whistled past his ear by way of answer.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What's the matter, Ericsson? ” “ Nothing ”; and the old man passed on.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What's the meaning of it, captain? ” Barracott knitted his brows, and shook his head, and scanned the sea all round carefully.
nyp.33433075744742	“ What's this? ” he asked one of the men who was passing, indicating the lid.
nyp.33433075744742	“ When do you expect Brodie to reach the promised land, old man? ” “ Oh, not for some time yet.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Where's our first stop? ” asked Angaray.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Where's the captain? ” said one.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Whose are they? ” asked Brodie harshly.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Why in gehenna did he want to bring her down through the Islands at that devil's pace if there was no need for it?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Why, what's wrong?
nyp.33433075744742	“ Will you come in? ” “ Yes, I'll go in now.
nyp.33433075744742	“ Wo n't you come in and look at him? ” she asked; and he followed her into her house.
nyp.33433075744742	“ You are Mr. James Ayrton? ”& 4 I am. ” “ Thanks!
nyp.33433075744742	“ You thought to follow my advice, and shoot first and ask questions afterward?
nyp.33433075744742	“ You understand — all? ” whispered the sick man at last.
nyp.33433075744742	“ You will undertake it? ” he whispered eagerly.
nyp.33433075744742	“ You ’re in no great hurry to get home, I s'pose? ” HOW THE Y CAME TO THE ISLE OF SILENCE.
nyp.33433075744742	“ You ’re quite sure, now, it was a sail you saw? ” “ Yes, I'm quite sure, and the cunning devils are waiting out there.
nyp.33433076025554	* 2O3 CRIMINOLOGIST 2O5 “ Recollect that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	And now what does it mean? ” Ashton- Kirk smiled.
nyp.33433076025554	And that being so, is it not possible that it might have happened again? ” Reluctantly, Quigley agreed that this was so.
nyp.33433076025554	And then the lady went into Quigley ’s. ” “ What sort of a lady? ” asked Ashton- Kirk.
nyp.33433076025554	Are you quite sure that it is the case? ” Osborne pulled himself up straight in his chair and stared at the investigator.
nyp.33433076025554	Bohlmier, are you there? ” “ Big Slim 1"was Bat's mental exclamation.
nyp.33433076025554	But fear of what?
nyp.33433076025554	But that's all I know py “ Had you ever seen him before that? ” “ I declah I never did, suh!
nyp.33433076025554	But what do you draw from that? ” Ashton- Kirk smiled.
nyp.33433076025554	But what is the cause of your present upheaval? ” Bat shook the ash from the cigarette into a pewter bowl at his elbow.
nyp.33433076025554	But what of the other things?
nyp.33433076025554	But why had that gentleman gone there?
nyp.33433076025554	But why not?
nyp.33433076025554	But, ” and he shrugged his shoulders, “ he will have his labor for his pains. ” “ How do you know? ” asked Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	CRIMINOLOGIST I49 “ You got ta keep after business if you expect to get any of it. ” “ Had anything to eat? ” asked Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	Come in to dust off the mat with me? ” “ I think I will take a turn, ” replied the crimi- nologist, as he yawned, with widely stretched arms.
nyp.33433076025554	Do n't be too long, for Bohlmier's waiting, and it was his idea in the first place. ” “ It might come off in an hour, who knows? ” said Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	Do you take me for some kind of a dope? ” he de- manded, angrily, of those about him.
nyp.33433076025554	Eh P ’ ” “ What do you want? ” asked Nora, sharply.
nyp.33433076025554	Have n't I always called on you when I needed help, and you were near enough to hear?
nyp.33433076025554	How could a girl like her understand a man like that I He frightened her by the way he looked and the way he laughed I Do you know what that means?
nyp.33433076025554	How did you know him? ” “ Who else would be hanging around there? ” demanded Big Slim, almost savagely.
nyp.33433076025554	How did you know him? ” “ Who else would be hanging around there? ” demanded Big Slim, almost savagely.
nyp.33433076025554	How often, ” and he knocked the spear of ash from the cigar, “ have confessions proven false, in your own experience?
nyp.33433076025554	I never knowed she had a fathah. ” “ Did you hear nothing later?
nyp.33433076025554	I4o ASHTON- KIRK “ Am I to take from that that you did understand a part of it? ” Dennison stirred uneasily.
nyp.33433076025554	Important?
nyp.33433076025554	Is that you? ” The big ath- lete was plainly surprised.
nyp.33433076025554	It just came to me. ” On the street the big athlete said to Ashton- Kirk: “ Burton knew Big Slim, and had a little job framed up with him, eh?
nyp.33433076025554	Nora, was there any good reason why you should have misled us like that? ” She reached out and touched his arm.
nyp.33433076025554	People that's sick do n't act the way she does. ” “ Who does? ” asked Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	Queer how such things stick to one, is n't it?
nyp.33433076025554	Remember?
nyp.33433076025554	Shower, eh? ” said he, after a little pause.
nyp.33433076025554	So I took her at once to her room. ” “ Your father remained in the sitting- room? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076025554	That thing fairly floored me when I heard it this morning. ” “ What thing? ” asked Ashton- Kirk.
nyp.33433076025554	Then, to Ashton- Kirk, he added: “ Stick around for a little, will you?
nyp.33433076025554	Was it possible that this obscure place was the one meant?
nyp.33433076025554	Were there not jolts enough in the thing already?
nyp.33433076025554	What did they say?
nyp.33433076025554	What does he mean by hanging around like that, frightening people? ” “ I ’m going to go to Mrs. Dolan, ” said the other, energetically.
nyp.33433076025554	What had taken him there — a place he had never visited before — and so late in the night?
nyp.33433076025554	What if he had done the thing 2 Was it altogether his fault?
nyp.33433076025554	What is it about, I wonder P Why this sudden parade through the house on the quiet? ” He remained where he was for a short space of time.
nyp.33433076025554	What would that get us?
nyp.33433076025554	What would you be most likely to do? ” Scanlon looked around and considered.
nyp.33433076025554	Who could drive a knife in a man's back with a braver air of deviltry than Benvenuto Cel- lini?
nyp.33433076025554	Why not morning, sir?
nyp.33433076025554	Why was he there?
nyp.33433076025554	Will you come along? ” Mr. Scanlon was willing, and so they made their way from the rathskeller into the sunlight.
nyp.33433076025554	Will you come along? ” The idea appealed to Scanlon.
nyp.33433076025554	Would I be dragging you out of bed if it was n't? ” After a little more of the same style of urging, Hutchinson hung up and turned to Ashton- Kirk.
nyp.33433076025554	You know that, do n't you?
nyp.33433076025554	to assure the security of one who was unhappy and in trouble. ” What did that mean?
nyp.33433076025554	“ And no one's going to do that — not yet, any- way, eh? ” There came a knock upon the door.
nyp.33433076025554	“ And she talked that stuff, too. ” “ Came to see Burton, did she? ” Ashton- Kirk looked interested.
nyp.33433076025554	“ And she's asked me to go out to Stanwick and see what they are doing there. ” “ The police? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076025554	“ And these are —? ” “ The son and daughter of the murdered man, ” answered the detective.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Any one inside? ” “ Osborne's there, ” replied the policeman.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Any particular time you'd like me to take up this job? ” inquired he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Anything more? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Anything more? ” “ Not now.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Back once more, eh? ” “ Believe me, it's not because I want to, ” re- I4 ASHTON- KIRK turned Dennison, huskily.
nyp.33433076025554	“ But ai n't we well rid of such bloodthirsty apes? ” Ashton- Kirk smiled.
nyp.33433076025554	“ But why fix upon this so readily as a sign of guilt?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Could we have a word with you? ” asked the investigator.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Did he say anything to you? ” “ No, ” replied the girl, in a low tone.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Did n't I?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you do that? ” “ Usually, sir, ” said the maid.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you hear?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you hear? ” The young man, ashen of face, and with eyes wide open, had been staring at the nurse.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you know that your office staff is also here? ” “ Danny? ” said Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you know that your office staff is also here? ” “ Danny? ” said Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you see? ” asked Quigley.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you so ask? ” Bohlmier's tone was one CRIMINOLOGIST 233 Bat heard Nora laugh.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Do you want me to stand for a thing like that? ” Again the hubbub arose; and while it was going on Bat felt a touch on his arm.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Doing your little night trick, eh? ” “ Yes. ” The old plain- clothes man yawned a little.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Funny thing, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Gaffney's round here somewhere? ” asked Bat, after they had walked through the district for some little time.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Gee! ” said this gentleman, excitedly, “ ai n't it fierce?
nyp.33433076025554	“ He took the whole lay- out right from under my nose. ” “ What did you do then? ” asked Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Hello, Devlin, ” said he; “ this is Ashton- Kirk. ” “ Oh, how are you? ” came the big voice of Captain Devlin, of the detective staff.
nyp.33433076025554	“ How are you, Bat? ” responded the policeman, in a surprised tone.
nyp.33433076025554	“ How are you? ” greeted he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ How are you? ” greeted the headquarters man, good- humoredly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ How are you? ” said Scanlon, holding out a ready hand.
nyp.33433076025554	“ How are you? ” said a familiar voice, and look- ing up they saw Osborne, big, smiling and serene.
nyp.33433076025554	“ How sure are you of that? ” said he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ I asked him what he was doing here. ” “ And then what? ” “ He merely jeered at me.
nyp.33433076025554	“ I figure on coming out right on this thing; do you get me?
nyp.33433076025554	“ I understand you found the candlestick just under this? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Is Fuller trailing him? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Is i d not asleeb 2 Is dis der hour for enchoyments?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Is this the lady you had in mind? ” said he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ It is you? ” “ Yes, ” replied Bat, as he moved toward the screen.
nyp.33433076025554	“ It might have been built for you, eh? ” said he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ It was you who admitted Mr. Burton the last time he was here, was it not? ” “ I opened the door for him, yes, sir.
nyp.33433076025554	“ It's something fierce when it begins to break bad, ai n't it? ” philosophized he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Just one moment I Do n't you think you are rather offhand in saying “ and that being the case'?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Just where did the body lie when the police- man arrived on the night of the crime? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ No, is he?
nyp.33433076025554	“ No; he said nothing. ” “ What did he talk about? ” asked Osborne.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Nobody else in the world. ” “ Hanging around where? ” asked Bat, inno- cently.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Not bad, eh? ” “ Extra special, ” replied the big athlete, promptly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Not the ‘ Bounder ’? ” “ Yes, they did call him that, ” confessed the other, a little resentfully.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Oh, how are you? ” lifting his eyes, but never stirring.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Put some things right?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Quit it?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Remember me?
nyp.33433076025554	“ So here you are, eh? ” Allen's little head was thrust forward and his jaw protruded wick CRIMINOLOGIST 107 edly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Spells? ” asked he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Stanwick's my next stop; and I'm going to get the first train. ” “ Stanwick? ” Ashton- Kirk's keen eyes re- garded him inquiringly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Suppose it was shown that CRIMINOLOGIST 177 a woman was hanging around outside the house that night?—suppose she carried this gun?
nyp.33433076025554	“ Take a com- fortable chair, will you?
nyp.33433076025554	“ That's it, eh?
nyp.33433076025554	“ There was a fellow shoved off the other night — out in the suburbs — maybe you saw some- thing about it?
nyp.33433076025554	“ There's no mistake? ” “ Not any, ” replied the investigator, quietly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Want to go inside? ” asked the guard.
nyp.33433076025554	“ We ’re here, are we? ” “ I thought I would n't disturb you, seeing that you seemed to be thrashing it out, ” said Scanlon.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Well, we seem to be doing fairly, eh? ” said he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Well, ” said the lean- jawed gentleman, after a pause, with cool inquiry in his voice, “ what's the idea?
nyp.33433076025554	“ What are they after? ” The two men were now at the opening of the alley and came cautiously along.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What are you doing away out here? ” “ Just thought I'd run out and take a look around, ” said Scanlon.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What did they say? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What do you mean? ” Dennison smiled broadly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What do you want me to do, Nora? ” said the man.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What else was I to do when things piled up as they did?
nyp.33433076025554	“ What is it? ” asked the big man.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What makes them think life imprisonment is n't as bad? ” The investigator shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What news? ” asked the investigator, briefly.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What news? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What next? ” said the big man, rather help- lessly, for the expression was as mystifying now as before.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What place is this? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What sort of a weapon was used? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What was to prevent you? ” “ My father tried tol"said the young man.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What's it all about? ” From his coat pocket Ashton- Kirk drew a glittering little revolver.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What's that? ” demanded Bat, whisperingly, his eyes wide open.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What's the idea? ”.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What's the name of the party you want? ” “ I have no name.
nyp.33433076025554	“ What's your name? ” inquired Dr. Shower, of the maid.
nyp.33433076025554	“ When did that idea come to you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Where is that guy? ” demanded he.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Where is the body? ” “ In the room just across the hall, ” said Os- borne.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Where to? ” asked Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Where's the boss? ” “ Not feeling right, ” replied the thick- necked one.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Who are you? ” “ We will nod speak of that, ” said the Swiss.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Who was she? ” “ Some kind of a relative, I think.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Why did n't I think of that before? ” he asked himself, elated.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Why was that? ” “ It began with the candlestick — the weapon used in the commission of the murder.
nyp.33433076025554	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076025554	“ You are sure of that, are you? ” “ Sure? ” Big Slim chuckled as he looked at Bat, his head nodding affirmatively.
nyp.33433076025554	“ You are sure of that, are you? ” “ Sure? ” Big Slim chuckled as he looked at Bat, his head nodding affirmatively.
nyp.33433076025554	“ You do n't bat very high in the eating league, do you? ” said the man.
nyp.33433076025554	“ You got ta hand him that. ” “ You knew him, did you? ” said Bat.
nyp.33433076025554	“ You knew her as far back as that, did you?
nyp.33433076025554	“ You wo n't, eh? ” Push Allen glared like a tiger.
nyp.33433076025554	“ You ’re sure of that? ” said he, to Ashton- Kirk.
nyp.33433076048200	And if you are what do » you want of me?
nyp.33433076048200	And no explanation of that?
nyp.33433076048200	And the stars have nothing to do with it?
nyp.33433076048200	And you know Oscar Yates, do n't you?
nyp.33433076048200	And you wo n't?
nyp.33433076048200	Are n't you going to the party?
nyp.33433076048200	Are we alone?
nyp.33433076048200	Are you Timothy Pusey the astronomer?
nyp.33433076048200	Are you going away?
nyp.33433076048200	Are you sure you have the right place?
nyp.33433076048200	But you want him to come, do n't you, Norman? nyp.33433076048200 Can he get it?"
nyp.33433076048200	Can you tell anything of her moods from what she plays?
nyp.33433076048200	Can you tolerate that man going unpunished through life? nyp.33433076048200 Chubby Yates?"
nyp.33433076048200	Could n't I have made it easier by withdrawing from it myself? nyp.33433076048200 Could n't we ask her and have her play upstairs?"
nyp.33433076048200	Did I ask it or merely suggest that it might inter- est him? nyp.33433076048200 Did n't speak to whom?"
nyp.33433076048200	Did you ever know a family like that?
nyp.33433076048200	Did you know of this change?
nyp.33433076048200	Do n't the spyglasses do any good?
nyp.33433076048200	Do n't you think, Dorothy,said Timothy,"that mother would like the piano upstairs the best, if she feels like playing?"
nyp.33433076048200	Do n't you want to see her?
nyp.33433076048200	Do n't you?
nyp.33433076048200	Do you blame me so very much, Sassy?
nyp.33433076048200	Do you know a man named Pusey who has moved here?
nyp.33433076048200	Do you know him very well, I mean really?
nyp.33433076048200	Do you know whose children those are?
nyp.33433076048200	Do you think he does?
nyp.33433076048200	Do you think we ought to?
nyp.33433076048200	Does n't he suspect anything?
nyp.33433076048200	Ever consider doing anything about Trixy, mother?
nyp.33433076048200	Have you got a whippoorwill and a hoot owl over here?
nyp.33433076048200	Have you spoken to them?
nyp.33433076048200	He came out of his office the other day,said one,"like an iron poker trying to smile and grabbed me by the hand and said:'How are the crops, John?'
nyp.33433076048200	He's dead, really dead?
nyp.33433076048200	Hear it?
nyp.33433076048200	How about the children and their mother?
nyp.33433076048200	How can any one know any one else?
nyp.33433076048200	How do you know that?
nyp.33433076048200	How many others are you going to throw into the fire?
nyp.33433076048200	How would you like some toasted marshmallows? nyp.33433076048200 I am glad to see you but did I make a mistake in my letter or did you misread it?
nyp.33433076048200	I think we'd love to hear mother play, do n't you, father?
nyp.33433076048200	I'd expect that of that immoral man but what are the people thinking about?
nyp.33433076048200	If he has a business,said Effa to Amanda Popp,"why does n't he go downtown and run it?
nyp.33433076048200	Is he a man of huge frame with beetling eye- brows?
nyp.33433076048200	Is n't dinner late?
nyp.33433076048200	Is she in the city now?
nyp.33433076048200	Is that necessary?
nyp.33433076048200	Is there a light lit?
nyp.33433076048200	Knowles is dead?
nyp.33433076048200	Little boys,said Elizabeth,"do you know me?"
nyp.33433076048200	Madame Savoy,said Timothy Pusey,"may I offer you a glass of Bourbon?
nyp.33433076048200	Made any friends?
nyp.33433076048200	Marriage is wonderful, is n't it, father?
nyp.33433076048200	May I offer you some Bourbon?
nyp.33433076048200	Maybe you do n't,Effa in her bitterness was al- most irreverent,"but what are you going to do?"
nyp.33433076048200	Not in malice?
nyp.33433076048200	Now is that fair?
nyp.33433076048200	Now what about this hospital?
nyp.33433076048200	Oh, did you hear her?
nyp.33433076048200	Oh,Elizabeth exclaimed,"I wonder""You wonder what?"
nyp.33433076048200	Seems strange, does n't it? nyp.33433076048200 Shall we go in the library?"
nyp.33433076048200	Shall we sit out here?
nyp.33433076048200	She does n't leave you in a dark house, does she?
nyp.33433076048200	That she plays? nyp.33433076048200 The first time he asked you if he would have children?"
nyp.33433076048200	Then why is it bad?
nyp.33433076048200	Those are the late potatoes, are n't they?
nyp.33433076048200	We?
nyp.33433076048200	Well, after they got over, then what?
nyp.33433076048200	What about the other two times?
nyp.33433076048200	What are they mad about?
nyp.33433076048200	What can I do for you?
nyp.33433076048200	What change do you mean, dear?
nyp.33433076048200	What did you tell him?
nyp.33433076048200	What do you think he will do?
nyp.33433076048200	What do you think, Dorothy?
nyp.33433076048200	What does the doctor say?
nyp.33433076048200	What is a miasma?
nyp.33433076048200	What is it doing here?
nyp.33433076048200	What is it?
nyp.33433076048200	What is that she is playing now?
nyp.33433076048200	What is that tapping the wall?
nyp.33433076048200	What is that?
nyp.33433076048200	What is that?
nyp.33433076048200	What is what?
nyp.33433076048200	What is your business?
nyp.33433076048200	What proof have you of that?
nyp.33433076048200	What was it she sang?
nyp.33433076048200	What was that?
nyp.33433076048200	What was the motive?
nyp.33433076048200	What was what, dear?
nyp.33433076048200	What's the matter?
nyp.33433076048200	What, as an instance?
nyp.33433076048200	Where did you get your gardener?
nyp.33433076048200	Who plays?
nyp.33433076048200	Who was she?
nyp.33433076048200	Why did they go over the wall?
nyp.33433076048200	Why did you want me to stay?
nyp.33433076048200	Why do you say that?
nyp.33433076048200	Why is it bad?
nyp.33433076048200	Why not?
nyp.33433076048200	Why?

nyp.33433076048200	Will you shake hands with me?
nyp.33433076048200	Will you tell me why I can not have them now?
nyp.33433076048200	With you or generally?
nyp.33433076048200	Wo n't you come in?
nyp.33433076048200	Would n't you have come to see me?
nyp.33433076048200	Would your professional ethiC3 permit the unseen presence of an interested person sometime when you gave a reading or an interview?
nyp.33433076048200	You are quite strong enough to come down, Nona?
nyp.33433076048200	You certainly are not going back?
nyp.33433076048200	You have children?
nyp.33433076048200	You mean you have used them?
nyp.33433076048200	You sat there and saw it all?

nyp.33433076046725	“ Cause? ” he wrote, and waved his hand.
nyp.33433076046725	“ Dangerous? ” Darrow shook his head again.

nyp.33433076046725	“ The lights went out some time ago. ” “ Did you look at the fuses? ” asked Helen.
nyp.33433076046725	“ Then how on earth can you hope to find him? ” “ By the exercise of pure reason, ” said Dar- row calmly.

nyp.33433076046725	“ Where is he? ” demanded the reporter.
nyp.33433076046725	“ Where'd you collect the plunder? ” he asked, pointing to a square black bag of some size that Dar- row had brought back with him.
nyp.33433076046725	“ Why, ” explained Eldridge patiently, “ are not the people and buildings between here and the unknown operator affected?
nyp.33433076046725	“ Why? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076046725	“ Will you please listen, sir, and see if you hear a buzz when I turn her over? ” requested the chauffeur.
nyp.33433076046725	“ Will you? ” he contented himself by saying.
nyp.33433076046725	“ You're Hallowell, are n't you?
nyp.33433076046725	“ ‘ Do you get this? ’ Repeat that until you get a reply. ” Without comment the operator turned to his key.
nyp.33433074968383	* How — how in hell am I? ’ ” Leslie shook his head dubiously.
nyp.33433074968383	- “ Again I ask you, where have you hidden them? ” cried the old mandarin, striking the table in front of him angrily.
nyp.33433074968383	- “ And that throne is —? ” he enquired mildly.
nyp.33433074968383	- “ You say they ’re coming? ” prompted the General, leaning tensely forward.
nyp.33433074968383	-* Water|? ” he said.
nyp.33433074968383	151 152 CAPTAIN GARDINER Can anything of flesh and blood live through that hail of death?
nyp.33433074968383	282 CAPTAIN GARDINER “ What made you tell me all this? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074968383	AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR 121 “ You have news of our mission to Peking? ” The Oriental inclined his body in assent.
nyp.33433074968383	And Evelyn?
nyp.33433074968383	And he did the job? ” “ Well, rather!
nyp.33433074968383	And in that way I discovered where their new meeting- place was. ” “ So you ’re the only man who has this information now?"
nyp.33433074968383	And now, how about you?
nyp.33433074968383	And then I think he ’s rather good- looking, do n’t you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074968383	And written in red ink “ Abso- lutely trustworthy. ’ What is your news? ” he added, looking up quickly.
nyp.33433074968383	Any friends? ” No, there were none who could be produced readily.
nyp.33433074968383	Are you a Republican too, Eve? ” “ I ’m anything that has for its platform giving the women of the United States a vote in Federation affairs.
nyp.33433074968383	Because I had more patriotism and loyalty than you gave me credit for?
nyp.33433074968383	Because I tricked you into thinking you had bought me body and soul, and would have saved my country if luck had not been against me?
nyp.33433074968383	But can he overcome the mad will of a besotted world?
nyp.33433074968383	But does it require such an expensive army and navy to secure them?
nyp.33433074968383	But have n’t we met before, Captain? ” he asked bluntly.
nyp.33433074968383	But have you realised that there are others who also have their dreams of rule and power?
nyp.33433074968383	But he answered seri- ously enough, “ You mean the cutting of the railroad?
nyp.33433074968383	But how could Tom know?
nyp.33433074968383	But how could she know?
nyp.33433074968383	But how to do it? ” And he re- garded his fellow- conspirators rather blankly.
nyp.33433074968383	But where ’s that bathtub, Tommy?
nyp.33433074968383	But you will smoke?
nyp.33433074968383	Ca n’t you trust me, dear?
nyp.33433074968383	Can one say more? ” She coloured faintly and moved a step towards the sitting- room.
nyp.33433074968383	Coming, Eve? ” Evelyn nodded and rising from her place, followed her sister through the doorway, while the men retired to the sitting- room.
nyp.33433074968383	Could they hurt us while we had our love?
nyp.33433074968383	Did not life owe him at least as much as it had given to them?
nyp.33433074968383	Did n’t I mention it?
nyp.33433074968383	Did you fall asleep standing up in the corner of the hall? ” “ I did n’t fall asleep — that was the trouble with me.
nyp.33433074968383	Did you see that message that came in this morning, Hathorn? ” “ Yes, sir, ” replied the officer addressed.
nyp.33433074968383	Do I not speak the truth, Colonel? ” “ It is true, my children, ” assented the old soldier, nodding his head.
nyp.33433074968383	Do n’t you think you owe something to her? ” “ Think of her!
nyp.33433074968383	Do you believe that the mur- der of a helpless prisoner will wipe the stain out of your soul?
nyp.33433074968383	Do you believe that this building, because it has stood for so many years, will stand forever?
nyp.33433074968383	Do you not think Japan can produce a dozen men who have the same desire as yourself and twice the means to bring it about?
nyp.33433074968383	Do you really believe anything could have happened? ” “ There's no use speculating until we know more than we do now.
nyp.33433074968383	Do you suppose, Tommy, there ’s such a thing as a bathtub in all this fine, big fleet?
nyp.33433074968383	Do you think my blood can take from your memory your own crime?
nyp.33433074968383	Do you think my men will question the details of the story when they break the door in and find you lying dead with your hands untied?
nyp.33433074968383	For all this did he not deserve reward?
nyp.33433074968383	God!—can I never find rest? ” He groaned aloud and writhed on the floor in his agony.
nyp.33433074968383	Good luck to you — and, Hooker — ” “ Yes? ” The Lieutenant was halfway down the cor- ridor.
nyp.33433074968383	Had precious little juice left when I landed, though. ” “ You fellows use ermic acid for power, do n’t you? ” “ Yes — pretty good stuff.
nyp.33433074968383	Have you any preference? ” THE RöLE OF VILLAIN 295 “ That ’ll be very nice, ” she agreed.
nyp.33433074968383	He's a good district commander to work with if he is a German. ” “ Smoke? ” asked Merriam, pushing the box towards his friend.
nyp.33433074968383	He's just brought the news that Les- lie is — ” “ Not dead? ” breathed the girl almost inaudibly, staring with wide, frightened eyes.
nyp.33433074968383	He, with nothing in his favour, why should he not grasp the opportunity when it was offered to him?
nyp.33433074968383	How about you, Jim?
nyp.33433074968383	How about your residence? ” “ I ’ll vote in Poughkeepsie.
nyp.33433074968383	How did it happen? ” “ I was clever enough to stay alive — that ’s all.
nyp.33433074968383	How'd the drill go to- day? ” “ Was that a letter from Mabel you were reading? ” asked the Captain irrelevantly.
nyp.33433074968383	How'd the drill go to- day? ” “ Was that a letter from Mabel you were reading? ” asked the Captain irrelevantly.
nyp.33433074968383	I believe the full name is Benjamin Smith. ” “ Benjamin Smith? ’ ” repeated the officer, as though the sound of the name awakened memories.
nyp.33433074968383	I do n’t suppose, by the way, you ’ve learned anything more about his death, have you?
nyp.33433074968383	I just sit there like a demure little mousie and make my eyes big and inter- ested and gasp, ‘ Oh, Captain Hookah, did you really?
nyp.33433074968383	I know it’s — it ’s a damn?
nyp.33433074968383	I owe it to her. ” “ What are you going to tell her, Jim? ” “ I do n’t know — I’m not sure.
nyp.33433074968383	If we have had peace in the past, can we not all the more surely trust in its continuance for all time? ” Thus speaks the world.
nyp.33433074968383	In two months ’ time we will look for you again. ” “ Only two months? ” queried Major Wilkie.
nyp.33433074968383	Is Ayour influence one whit stronger than that of half- a- dozen of your colleagues?
nyp.33433074968383	Is it not of more value to sacrifice a few men than to risk the whole army and your lines of communication besides?
nyp.33433074968383	Is it not possible that among the millions of Mohammedans there are a hundred who can enlist the services of an army to push them into power?
nyp.33433074968383	Is it not so?
nyp.33433074968383	Is it not so?
nyp.33433074968383	Is it that you are a sorcerer? ” “ No sorcery about it, ” replied the unruffled naval officer.
nyp.33433074968383	Is not the Japanese fire slackening?
nyp.33433074968383	Is not this so? ” He appealed to Leslie COLONEL SMITH OFF ARMY LIST 349 directly, and the latter could only bow his head in silent assent.
nyp.33433074968383	Is n’t there some other way?
nyp.33433074968383	Is that it, Colonel? ” Willon did not reply to the question immediately.
nyp.33433074968383	Is that so? ” “ I crave your pardon, Major Wilkie, ” the other re- turned suavely.
nyp.33433074968383	Is that sufficient? ” Leslie drew a quick breath.
nyp.33433074968383	Is that the only way left?
nyp.33433074968383	Is this the doctrine your traders profess who rob us of our resources and insult and revile us when we seek to protect what is only our own by right?
nyp.33433074968383	It was inconceivable, but did Tom know?
nyp.33433074968383	Meanwhile, where was Leslie?
nyp.33433074968383	Might she not despise him and cast him off when she knew?
nyp.33433074968383	My master will see you in half an hour. ” “ He is willing, then, to dispose of his merchandise? ” enquired the Major in his ordinary manner.
nyp.33433074968383	My stone ’s getting too hard for comfort anyway. ” “ What's the military situation? ” asked Leslie, as they moved towards the river bank.
nyp.33433074968383	No sign of the enemy anywhere. ’ ” “ Well, ” inquired the General triumphantly, “ that's definite enough, is n’t it?
nyp.33433074968383	One of the best field officers in the division. ” “ You know him well, then? ” “ I should say I do?
nyp.33433074968383	One of the best field officers in the division. ” “ You know him well, then? ” “ I should say I do?
nyp.33433074968383	Say, old man, what ’s hap- pened? ” “ Mabs’ll tell you.
nyp.33433074968383	See you later. ” “ Does my little sister get all the compliments? ” asked Evelyn, smiling, as Merriam still hesitated.
nyp.33433074968383	Shall I get your cloak, Miss Thornton? ” “ I think Mabs has it, ” returned Evelyn.
nyp.33433074968383	Shall we distrust all these and take the story of one man alone for the real truth?
nyp.33433074968383	She just does, that ’s all. ”- “ Then — then you know? ” said Merriam a little huskily.
nyp.33433074968383	That ’s not original, but it's true as gospel. ” “ Any plans? ” “ Staff job if I can get it.
nyp.33433074968383	That ’s your story though, Captain. ” “ Horse marines? ” French, turned to Leslie enquir- ingly.
nyp.33433074968383	There's very little I ’ll have to have new. ” “ How about the housekeeping paraphernalia? ” he hinted.
nyp.33433074968383	These, too, have paid the price of peace and victory, but what is their reward?
nyp.33433074968383	They should have been back an hour ago. ” “ Whom did you send? ” “ Captain Bagworthy and Lieutenant Forsythe, sir.
nyp.33433074968383	Want to see him? ” “ If it wo n’t be- ” “ Ca n’t let you stay more'n a minute or so.
nyp.33433074968383	We ’re rather weak in artillery, though. ” “ Cavalry? ” “ Couple of squadrons and some horse artillery com- ing with the Americans.
nyp.33433074968383	What did your friend look like — physical appearance, I mean? ” “ What the devil, Tommy!
nyp.33433074968383	What do they get out of it?
nyp.33433074968383	What is honour to me if it will not bring him back to me?
nyp.33433074968383	What is it the Bible says about there being more joy over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety and nine just persons which need no repentance?
nyp.33433074968383	What is it the English poet has written?
nyp.33433074968383	What menace could manifest itself in that close- walled tomb save through the door towards which he was peering?
nyp.33433074968383	What of the thousands of homes like it, scattered throughout the countries of the West- ern world?
nyp.33433074968383	What though, unmindful of their worth, he had cast them aside?
nyp.33433074968383	What would be the object in the enemy trying to sur- prise you if you knew all about it beforehand?
nyp.33433074968383	What ’s his first name — John?"
nyp.33433074968383	What ’s up now? ” A slate- coloured hull moved slowly across the brown water inside the bar, followed by another and yet an- other.
nyp.33433074968383	When do you go back to the front again? ” “ Probably never.
nyp.33433074968383	When will I see her again?
nyp.33433074968383	Where have you hidden them? ”.
nyp.33433074968383	Where ’s the 92nd infantry, Riley? ” “ On the lines south of Liaoyang, sir, ” replied the sergeant, consulting his records.
nyp.33433074968383	Who could say?
nyp.33433074968383	Why are you here? ” “ If that is so, did I say?
nyp.33433074968383	Why are you here? ” “ If that is so, did I say?
nyp.33433074968383	Why do you speak to me of it now? ” “ Because I feel that now I have the right to speak.
nyp.33433074968383	Why have you done this? ” “ I sought to uncover the treachery of your nation, ” returned Leslie between his teeth.
nyp.33433074968383	Why not, when all his life he had followed the narrow path of duty and right, never once hesitating or turning aside?
nyp.33433074968383	Why should he lie?
nyp.33433074968383	Why should it make you sad? ” “ It reminds me that I grow old, Corinne beloved.
nyp.33433074968383	Why was it that the old dread should clutch at Evelyn ’s heart with such a new and sinister meaning?
nyp.33433074968383	Will you give me your hand, please, Jim?
nyp.33433074968383	Would the night never end?
nyp.33433074968383	Would you be satisfied with this???
nyp.33433074968383	Would you be satisfied with this???
nyp.33433074968383	Would you be satisfied with this???
nyp.33433074968383	Yes, sir, I heard about that. ” “ Oh, you did, did you? ” And the Admiral re- garded him keenly.
nyp.33433074968383	You do not think it is the truth that he tells? ” “ Is every one crazy here but me? ” shouted the Gen- eral.
nyp.33433074968383	You do not think it is the truth that he tells? ” “ Is every one crazy here but me? ” shouted the Gen- eral.
nyp.33433074968383	You have n’t any news that you ’re keeping to yourself, have you? ” And she shot a quick glance at her friend.
nyp.33433074968383	You know the country? ” The other placed a finger- tip on the huge map.
nyp.33433074968383	You speak of progress and the brotherhood of man?
nyp.33433074968383	You understand? ” She was too frightened to reply, but her silence seemed to satisfy him.
nyp.33433074968383	You will come as soon as you can, wo n’t you? ” “ Yes, I ’ll come, ” he answered, avoiding her friendly, pitying eyes.
nyp.33433074968383	You will take a glass of wine, perhaps, after your journey?
nyp.33433074968383	You wish us to start at once? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074968383	You ’ll get your step for that bit of work you did, of course? ” “ I ’ll get two grades.
nyp.33433074968383	You ’ll pardon me, Miss Coleman? ” “ Only on condition that you remember after dinner, ” she replied archly.
nyp.33433074968383	You ’re sure you can get all the clothes and things you need by the week before Christ- mas, Eve? ” “ Oh, yes — easily.
nyp.33433074968383	You'll give me let- ters and recommendations to the powers and all that, wo n’t you? ” The other gave vent to a long whistle.
nyp.33433074968383	Your Excellency, can a word check the raging fire in the forest when once it is unloosed?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Ah, General, ” he exclaimed, quickly taking in the situation, “ you are examining my prisoner, hein?
nyp.33433074968383	“ And it was n’t true? ” asked the Captain quickly.
nyp.33433074968383	“ And the others? ” he asked harshly.
nyp.33433074968383	“ And the papers? ” he asked impatiently.
nyp.33433074968383	“ And the price? ” queried the Major.
nyp.33433074968383	“ And therein the humour lies, eh, Les?
nyp.33433074968383	“ And who in hell are you, anyway?
nyp.33433074968383	“ And you did? ” asked Gardiner in a troubled voice.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Any idea what ’s up? ” Gardiner shook his head.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Are n’t you coming along? ” as Leslie paused on the bank.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Are you sure you ’ll be warm enough? ” he en- quired solicitously as they stepped out upon the firm sand.
nyp.33433074968383	“ But you wo n’t tell on me, will you?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Captain Gardiner? ” he enquired, stretching out a huge, hairy hand.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Damn you, why could n’t you let me stay dead to the world as I wanted to be?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Did n’t I do well?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Did she ask for me? ” 44 No. ” “ Then I'll be off, ” he said with quick tact.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Did you study under him at Vassar? ” “ It is Doctor Everard, ” admitted Evelyn, flushing slightly.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Do n’t you ever think about anything but eat- ing?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Do you think after all you ’ve done for us, we ’re going to spoil your Christmas for you?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Do you think it ’s safe with that storm coming up? ” asked the Captain.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Do you wish me to go with you? ” he asked hur- riedly.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Does n’t it just make you feel like doing something rash and reck- less and shockingly unconventional?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Does n’t she?
nyp.33433074968383	“ For the last time I ask you, where have you con- cealed the papers? ” said the old man in a terrible voice.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Got everything secure, sonny? ” asked the Lieu- tenant.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Has any- thing been arranged concerning the price? ” The other shook his head.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Have you told Leslie about your good luck? ” she added, wishing to feel herself on surer ground.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Heard from those scouts yet, Hathorn? ” “ No, sir, and I do n’t half like it.
nyp.33433074968383	“ How can we tell her?
nyp.33433074968383	“ How can we tell her? ” she besought him tremu- lously.
nyp.33433074968383	“ How did you happen to learn this? ” she asked presently.
nyp.33433074968383	“ I do n’t suppose — there was no reason given for this order, was there, sir? ” “ Oh, no — of course not.
nyp.33433074968383	“ I say, you do n’t mean the chap who blew up the tunnel, do you?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Is it all right to cut straight across, Mabs?"
nyp.33433074968383	“ Is it the Captain Gardiner that Jimmy is always talking about? ” she said with real interest and pleasure in her tone.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Is that so? ” “ Yes, and it ’s one of those little sidelights that make history interesting.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Is the aid you proffer any more certain? ” he asked after a brief silence.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Is your book nearly finished? ” “ Very nearly, sir.
nyp.33433074968383	“ It is a message from China, dear father. ” “ Is it Major Wilkie or —? ” “ No- some one I do not know — a native.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Jove, Captain, that sounds to me as though it was a personal matter — ” “ What if it is, sir? ” broke in Leslie passionately.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Lieutenant, ” he said suddenly, “ what d'you make of those things? ”- Hooker lifted his long- barrelled marine glasses and peered intently.
nyp.33433074968383	“ May I? ” She gazed past him thoughtfully for a moment with- out answering.
nyp.33433074968383	“ May I? ” he persisted.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Merriam? ” repeated the Lieutenant, “ glad to make your acquaintance.
nyp.33433074968383	“ My children? ” she repeated dully.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Not much glory about war nowadays, is there? ” “ Glory! ” exclaimed the Colonel, looking up from his task.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Now how the deuce did you learn that? ” asked St. John, breaking harshly into the tense atmosphere of the little room.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Oh, hell, ” he said with a grim smile curving his dry lips; “ what ’s the good of my thinking about to- morrow?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Our last day together? ” “ I ’m afraid so.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Revenge for what?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Shall I give him your regards? ” “ Congratulations!—yes, please do.
nyp.33433074968383	“ So it ’s Leslie, is it? ” he said to himself bitterly as his swift roadster shot into the highway.
nyp.33433074968383	“ That is how it goes then?
nyp.33433074968383	“ That so? ” asked Hooker with interest, coming suddenly to attention.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Then you have decided whom to send? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Thinking, father dear? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Told whom? ” asked Merriam, surprised.
nyp.33433074968383	“ We have had no need of these many ships and these many men in the past, ” says the world, ‘ why should they continue to burden us?
nyp.33433074968383	“ We must fight'em off as long as we can, Major — fight'em off as long as we can — hey, Major?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Well? ”- “ Thousand devils|* cried the astonished Colonel; “ you know that, my Admiral?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Well? ”- “ Thousand devils|* cried the astonished Colonel; “ you know that, my Admiral?
nyp.33433074968383	“ What are you going to do? ” But Hooker was already shooting rapid commands at the veteran quartermaster.
nyp.33433074968383	“ What do you mean? ” he asked at length, a little hoarsely.
nyp.33433074968383	“ What do you wish with us? ” enquired the aged PEKING 229 president at length, in excellent English and without a tremor in his even tones.
nyp.33433074968383	“ What ever in- spired you to look for me over the hill, Jim? ” “ It was the first thing I thought of when they told me that you were lost.
nyp.33433074968383	“ What has become of them? ” The Chinaman shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands in deprecation.
nyp.33433074968383	“ What is your civilisation but the thing of a day?
nyp.33433074968383	“ What wins battles, anyhow?
nyp.33433074968383	“ When will I see her again?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Where did you find them? ” The Oriental held up a restraining hand.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Where shall we go? ” asked Jim as they hesitated on the steps.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Who are you? ” “ My name is Li, ” the yellow man replied in fault- less English.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Who brought Gardiner here in the first place, I ’d like to know?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Who goes there? ” “ Relief! ” “ Halt, relief!
nyp.33433074968383	“ Who in hell told you about that? ” “ My own ears, for one, ” replied Merriam quietly.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Why in hell could n’t you leave me alone, Hooker? ” he asked thickly.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Why should she have to suffer so when her only fault was to love a man too well?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Will you have it now?
nyp.33433074968383	“ Yet — and still you went ahead and asked her? ” “ And yet I asked her. ” THE RóLE of VILLAIN 301 the worst way — I found I could n't!
nyp.33433074968383	“ You believe you could carry out such a plan? ” he asked eagerly when the stranger had ended.
nyp.33433074968383	“ You have news from China? ” he inquired gravely of di Conti, as the one who had the undertaking in charge.
nyp.33433074968383	“ You heard, gentlemen?
nyp.33433074968383	“ You know the country between here and Peking pretty well, do n’t you? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Good.
nyp.33433074968383	“ You remember that you sent this fellow, Smith, down to me when I was planning the Peking raid, St. John?
nyp.33433074968383	“ You think our mission is so desperate then? ” he enquired in as steady a voice as he could com- mand.
nyp.33433074968383	“ You will undertake the work? ” asked the Presi- dent.
nyp.33433074968383	“ You ’ve told her? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074968383	“ Your sister? ” he asked by way of re- opening the conversation.
nyp.33433075752828	- “ You know her, then, do you? ” exclaimed Carlton, with surprise and interest.
nyp.33433075752828	.. What can it really matter to you or to me? ” Mrs. Davenant shrugged indifferently, and drew forward a chair.
nyp.33433075752828	28 THE BEAUTIFUL MRS. DAVENANT I believe in lots of work; keeps a man fit, do n't you think?
nyp.33433075752828	Afterwards Ambrose wondered what had made him go first to Little Glentworth?
nyp.33433075752828	Are any of us perfect enough to invite the world to look upon us as we really are?
nyp.33433075752828	Are you making a bouquet for some one? ” “ Yes, I'm making a bouquet for some one, to whom I always give my best.
nyp.33433075752828	Been enjoy- ing this fine summer? ”- Mr. Thorpe made no reply to the question.
nyp.33433075752828	Before I go further, Mr. War- burton, do you accept the trust? ” He threw back his head, his whole expression that of vigorous strength.
nyp.33433075752828	But how will all this affect Miss Thorne's stay at the Lake House?
nyp.33433075752828	By the way, where is that silver- bound prayer- book of mine, with the long chain that hangs on the arm?
nyp.33433075752828	CHAPTER XVIII MURDER I?
nyp.33433075752828	Can you slip into your dressing- gown without help? ” His head had dropped forward on his breast.
nyp.33433075752828	Could it be that Mark Thorpe is still alive? ” “ Foundation?
nyp.33433075752828	Could it be that Mark Thorpe is still alive? ” “ Foundation?
nyp.33433075752828	Could it be the same shadow that darkened Letty's life at the Lake House, and which caused her to long for the moment when she could leave it?
nyp.33433075752828	Did he really think thus of his pleasant, leisurely existence?
nyp.33433075752828	Do n't tell you they won the war, and can cut off our bacon with a stroke of the pen. ” “ Old friends of Mrs. Hall's? ” suggested Hilda.
nyp.33433075752828	Do n't you know Harry Thorpe? ” He felt the sensation of being challenged.
nyp.33433075752828	Do n't you want a hat or something? ” Her gay air returned suddenly.
nyp.33433075752828	Do you keep this door locked? ” He pointed to a heavy curtain.
nyp.33433075752828	Do you know what it is to feel as if your heart were wrinkled, Agnes?
nyp.33433075752828	Do you play bridge, Mrs. Davenant? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433075752828	Do you smoke, Mrs. Hall?
nyp.33433075752828	Do you understand? ” “ Perfectly, thank you, uncle. ” So this was all that was required of her.
nyp.33433075752828	Even if they were what could they possibly be doing in the gallery at such an hour?
nyp.33433075752828	For how long had she been alone in the house?
nyp.33433075752828	Had he recognized her?
nyp.33433075752828	Had not Geoffrey Thorpe a right to walk about his own house?
nyp.33433075752828	Had she loved and lost?
nyp.33433075752828	Had she, Letty, any right to abandon her uncle, after having given her promise to remain with him, and keep Sarah at arm's length?
nyp.33433075752828	Had the murdered man but one arm?
nyp.33433075752828	Has she had a sickener of conquests, and come here to find something easy to practice upon, just to keep her hand in?
nyp.33433075752828	Have n't you and I known each other for years and are n't we kinsmen?
nyp.33433075752828	Have you begun to unravel that mystery?
nyp.33433075752828	Have you ever found a monopoly of good- ness in any one particular sect?
nyp.33433075752828	Have you run across the parson yet? ” “ The parson! ” echoed Agnes in a bewildered tone.
nyp.33433075752828	He did n't yield to my blandishments, though I spotted at once he could say a lot if he chose: “ What is that lady's name?
nyp.33433075752828	He was an out and out rascal. ” “ But what about the Lake House Ghost? ” broke in Colonel Lycett, impatiently.
nyp.33433075752828	How can I live here even for one night? ” she asked her- self.
nyp.33433075752828	How could there not be a parson in a scene like this?
nyp.33433075752828	How dare you address me in such a manner?
nyp.33433075752828	How did he die, and where? ” she persisted gently.
nyp.33433075752828	How much does Griffith know? ” Agnes listened, staring meditatively into the fire.
nyp.33433075752828	How much is Colonel Lycett going to reveal to the Halls?
nyp.33433075752828	How old was Mark Thorpe when he left this country? ” “ I do n't remember, ” was the gruff retort.
nyp.33433075752828	How was he to find out the truth?
nyp.33433075752828	How would they account for what might any day be found in the lake when the frost went?
nyp.33433075752828	How would they affect him?
nyp.33433075752828	I am off this week. ” “ But you'll return again shortly? ” “ I ’ll get Christmas leave, ” he told her.
nyp.33433075752828	I am shy of country life just as I am shy of church. ” “ But not, I trust, of me? ” he retorted quickly, watching her down- dropped head.
nyp.33433075752828	I could n't bear to be henpecked. ” “ Do n’t you think it entirely depends upon the hen? ” suggested Hilda, with a gleam of mischief.
nyp.33433075752828	I could n't think what they meant, at such an hour. ” LETTY FACES THE TERROR 2I5 “ And what business is it of yours to inquire?
nyp.33433075752828	I do hope it's true. ” “ But why on earth should you be so keen? ” he persisted, struck by the ring of actual enthusiasm in her voice.
nyp.33433075752828	I do n't sup- pose you know what they mean any more than I do? ” He glanced across the table with a little laugh.
nyp.33433075752828	I do n’t believe it. ” “ Why not ask him? ” suggested Letty mildly, and with that she walked out of the kitchen.
nyp.33433075752828	I had other things of more importance to do. ” “ Things that you liked better? ” he insisted.
nyp.33433075752828	I love to sit round tea of the nursery order, do n't you? ” laughed Mrs. Davenant.
nyp.33433075752828	I suppose Mrs. Davenant has never mentioned her late husband to you? ” “ Never!
nyp.33433075752828	I suppose you do n't want any one to know he's there?'
nyp.33433075752828	I think also, I remem- ber her at Marienbad, or was it Karlsbad?
nyp.33433075752828	I want to ask you a question. ” “ Ask on, darling. ” “ Do you think there's any foundation for that gossip you spoke of at dinner?
nyp.33433075752828	I wonder?
nyp.33433075752828	I ’d just take the gun and hook it, if I wished to shoot. ” “ What can have changed him so suddenly, Harry?
nyp.33433075752828	I ’m coming to lunch to- day. ” “ To lunch, Harry? ” Letty gasped.
nyp.33433075752828	I ’ve asked Jim Hall, and I suppose you'll come out with us?
nyp.33433075752828	I'm sure her first question was ‘ colt or filly, doctor? ’ ” “ How can you be so flippant, ” expostulated Miss Howard.
nyp.33433075752828	If I thought he might be alive, how could I look upon myself as this old man's successor? ” “ Tell me about him, Harry.
nyp.33433075752828	If he lived, and the truth were known what would be his fate?
nyp.33433075752828	If he prefers perfect solitude, why should n't he have it?
nyp.33433075752828	In fact I could thardly have helped seeing you, could I? ” There was demure fun in her voice.
nyp.33433075752828	Is any one waiting? ” “ Yes!
nyp.33433075752828	Is n't paying calls in the 26 THE BEAUTIFUL MRS. DAVENANT country different to calling in London?
nyp.33433075752828	Is not the old boy communicative?
nyp.33433075752828	Is old Thorpe's niece still with him? ” She glanced up quickly.
nyp.33433075752828	Is she very deep or very shallow? ” Jim Hall knew perfectly what was in his wife's mind.
nyp.33433075752828	Is there something to hide, or is it a brain disorder? ” Harry concluded it must be the latter.
nyp.33433075752828	It is very no- ble, but how could we live as man and wife with this great gulf between us, which I should always try to prevent your bridging?
nyp.33433075752828	It's a sad sort of life for her at the Lake House. ” “ Are you friendly with Mr. Thorpe? ” asked Hilda.
nyp.33433075752828	It's the Dower House, is n't it?
nyp.33433075752828	LOCAL GOSSIP 99 “ Why, then, does love bring such penalties?

nyp.33433075752828	May I make a suggestion?
nyp.33433075752828	May this not be so with you? ” His voice shook over the last words.
nyp.33433075752828	Maybe he saw the ghost, any way he was a changed man. ” “ Have you ever seen the ghost? ” inquired Letty, unconsciously dropping her voice.
nyp.33433075752828	My beloved, what would life be to me with- out you? ” she whispered softly to herself.
nyp.33433075752828	My motto has been, and always will be, “ They say, What say they?

nyp.33433075752828	Of course you've some one or something here to meet you? ” The girl blushed scarlet and shook her head.
nyp.33433075752828	Often she had asked herself the question, “ What draws me here?
nyp.33433075752828	Only Mrs. Davenant, and she looked rather tired I thought. ” “ But as beautiful as ever, I presume? ” Claude smiled.
nyp.33433075752828	Or might it not be the man in armor, who sits staring into the fireplace till the beholder in the bed goes raving mad?

nyp.33433075752828	Supposing a love developed in him which was stronger than his self- control?
nyp.33433075752828	Supposing he should die in the night?
nyp.33433075752828	Supposing this new feeling grew into unmanageable dimensions?
nyp.33433075752828	Surely he might dream of what such a love would mean in his gray life?
nyp.33433075752828	Surely he might give rein to his imagination for a few moments?
nyp.33433075752828	That is my home. ” “ And your father and mother live there, I sup- pose? ” She shook her head sadly.
nyp.33433075752828	Then, what is it to me?
nyp.33433075752828	There are only three of us in the house, and we are all in bed by ten o'clock. ” “ What lies beyond your bedroom? ” asked War- burton.

nyp.33433075752828	Was Mrs. 37 38 THE BEAUTIFUL MRS. DAVENANT Davenant very attractive to men?
nyp.33433075752828	Was a man's life neces- sarily gray if bereft of the love of woman?
nyp.33433075752828	Was he lying, even at that moment, mur- dered — amid the dense brushwood of the copse?
nyp.33433075752828	Was it a male or female ghost?
nyp.33433075752828	Was it likely that the only two other occu- pants of the house would still be up?
nyp.33433075752828	Was it literally true that he had seen no woman whom he could remotely conceive of as a desirable wife?
nyp.33433075752828	Was it possible that Mrs. Davenant was out for adventure?

nyp.33433075752828	Why any mystery?
nyp.33433075752828	Why are you so interested in him, darling? ” Letty smiled.
nyp.33433075752828	Why be anxious about nothing?
nyp.33433075752828	Why did he not enter?
nyp.33433075752828	Why did not Geoffrey Thorpe return?
nyp.33433075752828	Why had he not removed it?
nyp.33433075752828	Why had she never married?
nyp.33433075752828	Why had she not told Jones that her uncle was ill?
nyp.33433075752828	Why should I be different to others?
nyp.33433075752828	Why should I not? ” “ Why, indeed; but what a strange existence for.
nyp.33433075752828	Why should n't she adore men?
nyp.33433075752828	Why should n't they?
nyp.33433075752828	Why should she? ” “ Why, indeed, dear boy.
nyp.33433075752828	Why, is his secret, not mine. ” “ But you are happy now, are you not? ” asked Emily rather anxiously.
nyp.33433075752828	Will you come?
nyp.33433075752828	Will you not trust me? ” “ I can not accept so great a sacrifice.
nyp.33433075752828	Will you undertake to act at once as mistress here? ” As he spoke he saw with satisfaction the effect his words were having upon her.
nyp.33433075752828	Would he be found?
nyp.33433075752828	Would he come back?
nyp.33433075752828	Would they bring him in, knowing by instinct that he rightly belonged to the Lake House, had indeed been its rightful owner?
nyp.33433075752828	Would they remain secrets, or be blazoned to the world?
nyp.33433075752828	Would this faith live on, without one sign to show she deserved it?
nyp.33433075752828	Would you call marriage romance? ” She looked reflectively out of the window on the autumn glory of a herbaceous border.
nyp.33433075752828	Would you make MRS. DAVENANT AT BAY I59 me out a disbeliever in the object to which I am pro- fessed?
nyp.33433075752828	Would you rather see misery than happiness? ” ques- tioned Letty with gentle tenderness.
nyp.33433075752828	Would you, under normal circum- stances, take that possibility into consideration? ” Again Miss Howard did not finish.
nyp.33433075752828	Yet, whose thoughts would hark back to a man — dead to the world for long years in a distant land?
nyp.33433075752828	You do n't mind my saying so, do you?
nyp.33433075752828	You know him? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433075752828	You must own that's rather suspicious? ” “ I should be inclined to put that down to extreme sensitiveness, Mrs. Luckett.
nyp.33433075752828	You see, it's so hard to regret having been happy. ” “ You mean even at the expense of others? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433075752828	You understand? ” Her lover's words came back to her.
nyp.33433075752828	You'd only laugh at me, Harry. ” “ Have I ever laughed at you? ” He looked at her now with an anxious expression on his face.
nyp.33433075752828	do n't men take what they like?
nyp.33433075752828	how do you like settling down in the coun- try? ” she asked pleasantly, as she and Mrs. Davenant seated themselves side by side.
nyp.33433075752828	it's the only thing worth living for. ” “ How would you define it? ” “ Something one has n't the slightest right to.
nyp.33433075752828	where have you been since tea- time?
nyp.33433075752828	why should n't he if he fancies her?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Agnes, ” went on Mrs. Davenant, “ are you pre- pared to lay all your cards upon the table? ” For a second or two Miss Howard hesitated.
nyp.33433075752828	“ And how did you find your attractive neighbors? ” inquired Lester, genially.
nyp.33433075752828	“ And what is the commonest topic of all? ” asked Saidie.
nyp.33433075752828	“ And why should you rejoice over that, Uncle?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Are you hurt? ” His answer, as he sank back was almost inau- dible, so violently did he chatter and tremble.
nyp.33433075752828	“ But after all, Hilda, why should we?
nyp.33433075752828	“ But you would put your religion before love? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Ca n't you see, girl, that all the doctors in Christendom could do nothing for me?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Did Claudie tell you where we went this after- noon? ” asked Lester, drawing up a low chair close to the two women.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Did you ever sit at a dinner- table where they managed to keep off it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Did you know him? ” she asked gently.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Did you notice her pearls?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Do n’t you like it, Harry darling? ” “ But I ca n't even spot what it is, so how can I tell? ” he retorted laughing.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Do n’t you like it, Harry darling? ” “ But I ca n't even spot what it is, so how can I tell? ” he retorted laughing.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Do n’t you think it would be wise to wait till after lunch? ” she urged.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Do you not believe that if I could speak with honor I would reward your faith by telling you all? ” A flush passed over his face.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Do you think if Mrs. Davenant had been a very plain woman any one would have suspected a mystery in connection with her? ” asked Warburton.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Do you use the room we call the Squire's den?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Frightened'What frightened you? ” he scoffed, throwing the light on her face and scanning it closely.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Glad to see me, darling? ” he asked in a hushed voice of utter contentment.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Had he any idea of his danger? ” “ Yes!
nyp.33433075752828	“ He ca n't part us, anyhow, and what would his sneers matter to us, sweetheart?
nyp.33433075752828	“ How dare you dispute my claim? ” she demanded, approaching nearer to him menacingly.
nyp.33433075752828	“ How dare you invite that young cub into my house? ” he flared out violently.
nyp.33433075752828	“ How is old Miles? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ How long can you stay, Harry? ” “ I ’ve only got a week, darling.
nyp.33433075752828	“ How long do you mean to stay? ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433075752828	“ How the devil should I know? ” was Claude's rather sulky retort.
nyp.33433075752828	“ I may come to say good- by?
nyp.33433075752828	“ I sincerely hope so, Mrs. Luckett; but why ‘ fear ’ to pay me such a compliment?
nyp.33433075752828	“ I think that's very human, and, after all, what are we but human?
nyp.33433075752828	“ I wonder?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Is it not possible that you exaggerate the abnegation required of you?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Is it something you see? ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433075752828	“ Is n't it natural that they desire to revert to 1914?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Is n't it ripping to be away from all the infernal botherations of ordinary life? ” he asked involuntarily.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Is there one exception that I dread? ” She glanced involuntarily at Carlton and their eyes met.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Is your sister not here to- night? ” he asked the vicar, after congratulating him warmly on his engagement.
nyp.33433075752828	“ It seems a curious position, does n't it?
nyp.33433075752828	“ It ’s so awfully lonely, you mean? ” “ It ’s not so much the loneliness as “ Well, darling!
nyp.33433075752828	“ May I inquire what is the meaning of this? ” he inquired, and the bleakness of his voice was cut by a bitter sarcasm.
nyp.33433075752828	“ May I really come to see you? ” “ Why, yes!
nyp.33433075752828	“ May it not be that you over- rate the obligations of honor?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Rather jolly women, do n't you think?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Shall we do a play together? ” MRS. DAVENANT AT BAY I61 “ Rather!
nyp.33433075752828	“ So this is what Letty has to put up with, is it? ” thought Harry.
nyp.33433075752828	“ So you do admire the son? ” “ I admire them both immensely.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Sup- posing she should continue to refuse her con- sent? ” He shook his head and set his lips.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Surely you would not say that in all cases? ” “ There is a very simple rule, Mrs. Davenant, that all of us can follow.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Takes you all of a heap, you mean? ” “ If you like to put it that way.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Then why not let us invite a cheery party to come here? ” urged Agnes.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Was n't it a success? ” he exclaimed boyishly.
nyp.33433075752828	“ We are agreed that our conversation shall be re- garded as absolutely private? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Well?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What can her life have been? ” he wondered, as he walked on towards home.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What damned mockery is this between two paupers?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What did those words mean? ” Mrs. Carlton asked herself.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What good can they serve?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What has come to the old man to make him look like that?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What have you done with Mark Thorpe? ” she de- manded.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What is it? ” she asked gently, as with her arms firmly round him she drew him to a chair.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What of it, my dear?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What sort of rum opinions? ” whispered back Hilda, suddenly interested.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What! ” she cried harshly, “ Geoffrey Thorpe said that?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What's in a name?
nyp.33433075752828	“ What's this, I hear? ” asked Ambrose, after a quick “ Good morning. ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What's this? ” he exclaimed harshly.
nyp.33433075752828	“ What's yours? ” retorted his wife pertly.
nyp.33433075752828	“ When do you return here? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Where's that, Sibyl? ” asked Lady Tadcaster.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Who did you say was unwell? ” Her voice was ominous but controlled, and she glanced significantly at the door.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Who the deuce do you want to call upon? ”- “ Mrs.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Why are n't you in bed and asleep? ” “ I was frightened, ” she faltered tremulously.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Why does no one ever discuss Miss Howard?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Why should they?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Why, ” she cried, “ what happens directly I come back to Terlingham after a holiday abroad or in town?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Why?
nyp.33433075752828	“ Will you accept those from me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Will you lead the way you know so well? ” she added, turning to Mrs. Carlton.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Will you promise to let me know if you come up to town? ” “ Why certainly, ” she responded.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Wo n't you and Miss Howard dine with us on Fri- day night, the night before I go? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ Yet if they knew every detail would I really care? ” she asked herself in a weary disdain.
nyp.33433075752828	“ You do n't mean to say he's invited you?
nyp.33433075752828	“ You have drowned him in the lake? ” He looked again at her darkly.
nyp.33433075752828	“ You mean that you give me no hope? ” She looked straight into his eyes.
nyp.33433075752828	“ You wo n't give us away, Mrs. Davenant? ” “ I ’d die sooner.
nyp.33433075752828	“ You ’ll come in some time and have a quiet chat with me? ” she asked, as they shook hands at the cross roads.
nyp.33433075752828	“ You ’re game for a walk, are n't you?
nyp.33433075752828	“ You ’ve done something to yourself; what is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075752828	“ ‘ How do you know he's there?'
nyp.33433075752828	“ ‘ Who are you?'
nyp.33433074872494	- 27 “ Is it necessary that I should go to the inquest? ” he asked faintly.
nyp.33433074872494	- “ Do I?
nyp.33433074872494	... Are you busy with any- thing else? ” “ No, Mr. Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	185 “ What kind of surprise? ” demanded Garth, with an astonished look.
nyp.33433074872494	211 “ Can you conjecture what took her to town? ” “ No; and she will not tell me. ” Fanks said nothing.
nyp.33433074872494	213 Why had she sent a telegram to withdraw her lover from London at the very time of the committal of the crime?
nyp.33433074872494	31 “ Yes| What ’s the matter? ” “ Do n’t send that letter till after our conversation. ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433074872494	53 “ Why do you think so? ” “ Because the parcel was soft, and felt like clothes.
nyp.33433074872494	59 “ How can she betray herself when there is no ad- dress? ” “ There is no address; but there is a post- mark.
nyp.33433074872494	63 “ That may be; but was he connected with a woman in 1893? ” The valet started back with a gasp.
nyp.33433074872494	97 “ And then, sir? ” asked the man.
nyp.33433074872494	A woman l ’ ” “ Emma Calvert? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433074872494	Afterwards, I can go to Mere Hall. ” “ Have you any reason for going? ” “ One.
nyp.33433074872494	An out- and- out scamp. ” “ And something worse than a scamp, ” said Fanks; “ but about this introduction?
nyp.33433074872494	And failing you? ” “ The property goes to the Crown, ” replied Garth.
nyp.33433074872494	And for what purpose are you down here? ” “ I have told you.
nyp.33433074872494	And how did you act? ” “ I would n't let her see him, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	And now, Mr. Fanks, I have told you all I know; is there any other ques- tion you wish to ask me? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	And they came to have a chat — by appointment? ” “ I think so, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	And was it he who made the obliterating mark?
nyp.33433074872494	And what did you call her, Robert? ” The valet looked at Garth with a look of malicious triumph.
nyp.33433074872494	And what do you know about it? ” The woman raised her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders.
nyp.33433074872494	And where is the paper? ” “ My master put it away, sir. ” “ Oh I Do you happen to know where he put it p ’ ’ “ No, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	Are you on good terms with your cousin Louis? ” “ I do n’t like him, ” answered Garth, after a pause, “ he is a scientific prig.
nyp.33433074872494	As I told you before I do not believe you had anything to do with it. ” “ Then why did you have me watched? ” demanded the young man.
nyp.33433074872494	Because of your visit to those chambers? ” “ That and another thing. ” “ Does the other thing concern yourself. ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	Boazoph is fiddling with the meter. ” “ What the deuce did she do that for? ” asked Crate, as his superior struck a match.
nyp.33433074872494	But at present I am waiting for Herbert Vaud. ” “ Really I Do you expect him shortly? ” Garth looked at his watch.
nyp.33433074872494	But he did live at Taxton- on- Thames, a village near Weybridge. ” “ Do you know Sir Louis intimately? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074872494	But if she dislikes Sir Louis and Binjoy why does she stay in the service of the former? ” Garth shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433074872494	But in what way do you expect her to help you? ” “ Well, I'll tell you.
nyp.33433074872494	But then what could be his motive for the perpetration of so terrible a crime?
nyp.33433074872494	But what do you think of her suspicions?
nyp.33433074872494	But, on the face of it, I do not think that he is the negro of Tooley's Alley. ” “ Why not? ” said Garth, impatiently.
nyp.33433074872494	By the way, did Mr. Garth call to see me in my absence? ” 180 TRACKED BY A TATTO0.
nyp.33433074872494	By the way, ” added the detective, “ did you like Sir Louis? ” Hersham shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433074872494	Ca n't you see that the address on that envelope is in female hand- writing? ” “ Certainly I can.
nyp.33433074872494	Did it strike you at the inquest that there was a resemblance between Doctors Renshaw and Binjoy? ” “ I ca n't say that it did.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you come here to ask me about that cross which you know is tattooed on my left arm? ” “ Yes, ” said Fanks, unhesitatingly; “ I did.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you ever go to Taxton- on- Thames? ”- “ No, Mrs. Jerusalem told me.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you ever notice this cross? ” “ I did not, ” said Garth, promptly, “ or Ishould have asked what it meant.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you return to Taxton- on- Thames? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you see Binjoy's negro ser- vant? ” “ I inquired about him, and I was informed that Binjoy had brought no negro servant with him.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you want it back for the picture, or because it had some writing on the back? ” “ What writing do you mean? ” asked the girl, sharply.
nyp.33433074872494	Did you want it back for the picture, or because it had some writing on the back? ” “ What writing do you mean? ” asked the girl, sharply.
nyp.33433074872494	Do you know her?
nyp.33433074872494	Do you know her?
nyp.33433074872494	Do you know how they killed Sir Gregory?
nyp.33433074872494	Do you know where it is? ” “ Oh, yes, ” said Sir Louis, leading the way.
nyp.33433074872494	Do you know why the pair went up to London? ” she continued, grasping Fanks by the arm.
nyp.33433074872494	Do you know why they killed Sir Gregory?
nyp.33433074872494	Do you really think that you will find the truth in that house? ” “ I am certain of it.
nyp.33433074872494	Do you suspect anybody? ” “ Not a soul.
nyp.33433074872494	Do you think she will soon recover? ” “ Not for some time, ” said Turnor, in a satisfied tone.
nyp.33433074872494	Dr. Binjoy is also tall and stout? ” “ Yes!
nyp.33433074872494	Fellenger to permit the use of the needle?
nyp.33433074872494	For some days you have not been at all like yourself. ” “ Can you wonder at that, mother? ” replied Anne, bitterly.
nyp.33433074872494	For what reason had she taken her departure so suddenly?
nyp.33433074872494	Has he done so? ” “ No; he has postponed the confession for a week. ” “ What foolish weakness, ” muttered Anne, with a sigh.
nyp.33433074872494	Have I you to thank for the alteration in his demeanour? ” “ You have; I persuaded him to tell you all.
nyp.33433074872494	Have you any idea what took him to Tooley's Alley? ” “ Not the slightest.
nyp.33433074872494	Have you seen her?
nyp.33433074872494	He approved of the idea, and I did “ And how were you dressed? ” “ In a great coat with brass buttons.
nyp.33433074872494	He called her Emma Calvert even before me. ” “ You are sure that she was his wife? ” interrupted Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	He gets on his bike, and goes off down the road like a house on fire. ” “ Which way did he go?
nyp.33433074872494	He he hel ” “ I suppose you know Sir Louis Fellenger? ” “ I knaw Mr. Louis Fellenger, ” corrected the aged gossip.
nyp.33433074872494	He heard of the death of Lady Fellenger in Paris, and — ” “ Did he know that Fellenger had married her? ” 102 TRACKED IRY A. TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	He is now at Mere Hall, attended by Dr. Binjoy. ” “ Is Dr. Binjoy with Sir Louis at Mere Hall at this present moment? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074872494	He was a trifle rapid, I believe? ” “ A regular bad lot; but I kept in with him because — well, because he was useful to me.
nyp.33433074872494	He went to India, you know. ” “ Are you sure he went to India, Dr. Turnor? ” “ Oh, yes; he will be soon be at Bombay.

nyp.33433074872494	Her name, if you please? ” “ I — I- promised never to speak of her. ” “ You must — for your own sake. ” “ I dare not.
nyp.33433074872494	How Emma Calvert came to Lon- don; how she met with Sir Gregory; and how she was loved by Herbert Waud? ” “ What! ” cried Hersham.
nyp.33433074872494	How are you getting on with your work? ” Hersham smiled and kissed her.
nyp.33433074872494	How can you prove it? ” “ Very easily.
nyp.33433074872494	How could he when the young man conducted himself so circumspectly?
nyp.33433074872494	How did you manage to dodge the traps I laid for you? ” “ By knowing where they were laid, ” said Hersham, sullenly.
nyp.33433074872494	How did you obtain your disguise? ” “ Oh, that was Miss Colmer's suggestion. ” THE CLUE OF THE HANDWRITING.
nyp.33433074872494	How long have you been here? ” “ About three days. ” “ Then you may be certain that your cousin knows of your presence in the village.
nyp.33433074872494	How should I?
nyp.33433074872494	How then can this liv- ing woman be the lady in question? ” “ It might have been her ghost. ” “ Rubbish!
nyp.33433074872494	However, I shall give my opinion when I see him and question Mrs. Jerusalem. ” “ Will you tell my cousin that I am here? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074872494	I am glad he is leaving Sir Louis. ” “ Was Binjoy friendly with Sir Gregory? ” “ I ca n't say, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	I am satisfied that you have told me the truth, No, Hersham, it is not you whom I suspect. ” “ Then who is it? ” asked the young man, eagerly.
nyp.33433074872494	I did not even know Sir Gregory. ” “ I wonder if your father could tell me? ” CHAPTER XIV.
nyp.33433074872494	I do not see what you can do. ” “ Do you remember what Mrs. Prisom said about the desk in the study of your late uncle? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	I do not think she ever got over the death of Emma. ” “ Does she know anything about these other matters? ”- “ Very little.
nyp.33433074872494	I do n’t think he liked me either, ” added Hersham, smiling, “ for I was his successful rival. ” “ With Miss Colmer? ” “ Yes!
nyp.33433074872494	I found that out from Mrs. Jerusalem. ” “ And who is Mrs. Jerusalem? ” “ She was the housekeeper of Sir Louis at Taxton- on- Thames.
nyp.33433074872494	I hope, ” he added, with a faint smile, “ that it is nothing in your line of business? ” “ That is just the point.
nyp.33433074872494	I intended to tell you, since you referred to her. ” “ Where has she gone? ” “ I do not know.
nyp.33433074872494	I knawed him in tº dark by that coat, I did. ” “ Was it in the dark that he ran over you? ” asked Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	I know you hate the very memory of that dead scoundrel. ” “ Can you wonder at it? ” said Herbert again.
nyp.33433074872494	I made her promise not to tell Sir Louis that I was here. ” “ But what excuse did you make? ” “ None, ” said Garth, coolly.
nyp.33433074872494	I may find out at Mere Hall. ” “ Are you going there? ” “ Next week.
nyp.33433074872494	I saw her yesterday, and she in- advertently admitted that much. ” “ How did you get that out of her? ” “ Well, it was a fluke.
nyp.33433074872494	I sup- pose you are thinking of Mrs. Boazoph? ” “ Indeed I am not.
nyp.33433074872494	I suppose you suspect your cousin on that account? ” “ By no means.
nyp.33433074872494	I think it was the chemistry which kept them together; for their charac- ters are quite unlike one another. ” “ You like Sir Louis? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	I thought that Anne was in trouble; I went down at once on my bicycle. ” “ Why did not you go by train?
nyp.33433074872494	I went there — ” “ And you saw Renshaw? ” interrupted Garth.
nyp.33433074872494	I wish I knew where she had gone. ” “ Perhaps she will come back? ” “ Let us hope so.
nyp.33433074872494	I wish to find out why Mrs. Boazoph visited the Hall. ” “ And what about the tattooed cross, Mr. Fanks? ” “ Oh, I shall see that later on.
nyp.33433074872494	I wonder when he is coming down to see me again?
nyp.33433074872494	If Emma Calvert were not dead, and this was she, why had she come to Half- Moon Street, and why had Robert faintel at the mere sight of her?
nyp.33433074872494	If I am not mistaken I — By Jovel ” “ What is the matter? ” “ Wait.
nyp.33433074872494	If so, who was the woman who bore so extraordinary a resemblance to her?
nyp.33433074872494	If, on the other hand, he was being made a member — a ceremony which would not have taken place in a low pot- house — why should he be killed?
nyp.33433074872494	Ifelt very ill, and got into bed at once. ” “ Was Mrs. Jerusalem in the house, then? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	In a half- laughing way she advised me to take Binjoy's servant Caesar as my model. ” “ Which you did? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074872494	In a word, were Fellenger and Binjoy guilty of the murder of the cousin of the former?
nyp.33433074872494	In searching for one murder had they stumbled upon another?
nyp.33433074872494	In the meantime touch the bell and have him in. ” “ Shall I question him? ” 62 TRACKED BY A TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	Is it important? ” “ I should think so.
nyp.33433074872494	Is it to betray the master whose bread you eat, that you have sought this meeting? ” “ That is just why I am here, ” was the quiet reply.
nyp.33433074872494	Is she still alive? ” “ I know her, she is still alive.
nyp.33433074872494	Is there a Son? ” “ Yes, a fellow of thirty or thereabouts.
nyp.33433074872494	Is there anyone else? ” “ Well, there was Mrs. Jerusalem, ” said Sir Louis.
nyp.33433074872494	Like his impudence, was n’t it?
nyp.33433074872494	Man or woman? ”- “ Walls have ears, Crate.
nyp.33433074872494	May I ask if it is connected with the committal of this crime? ” THE DEFIANCE OF ANNE COLMER.
nyp.33433074872494	Mrs. Colmer and her daughter live at Taxton- on- Thames. ” “ What of that?
nyp.33433074872494	Mrs. Colmer, Dr. Binjoy, Anne, or Caesar, the missing negro?
nyp.33433074872494	Mrs. Colmet is a hopeless paralytic. ” “ Then who wrote it? ” “ That is just what I have to learn.
nyp.33433074872494	My word, here is a dis- covery. ” “ What discovery? ” asked Hersham, staring at the letter.
nyp.33433074872494	Never mind that at the present moment, Hersham, but tell me if you have written to your father? ” “ About the tattooed cross?
nyp.33433074872494	Never mind that at the present moment, Hersham, but tell me if you have written to your father? ” “ About the tattooed cross?
nyp.33433074872494	Now what do you say? ” “ Say, Sir Louis.
nyp.33433074872494	Now, can you tell me why Sir Gregory let a cross be pricked on his arm? ” “ No I no!
nyp.33433074872494	Now, then, will you go to London, or stay here? ” Hersham hesitated for a moment, then, biassed by a look from Anne, he compromised.
nyp.33433074872494	Of what use was it that Francis marked his son as he marked me?
nyp.33433074872494	Off with you, and send that fool back to Mr. Crate. ” “ What are you about to do, Mr. Fanks? ” asked Crate, when the man had gone.
nyp.33433074872494	Oh, Edward Hershamſ? ” moaned Mrs. Boazoph, and fell upon the floor in a faint, 204 TRACKED BY A TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	Perhaps you can tell me who killed Gregory? ” “ Well, ” said Fanks, looking straight at his ques- tioner, “ I might even go as far as that.
nyp.33433074872494	Poor soul; I was sorry for her. ” “ And her sister and Captain Garry? ” “ Captain Garry died soon after.
nyp.33433074872494	Read them for yourself. ” “ Why do you call me Mr. Fellenger? ” asked Louis, quietly.
nyp.33433074872494	See for yourself. ” “ Did Mrs. Boazoph know of your address in the Isle of Wight? ” “ No, that's odd, ” added Hersham, staring at Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	She died in 1893. ”& 4 Yes. ” “ How did she die? ” “ I ca n't answer you, ” burst out Robert, in a frenzy.
nyp.33433074872494	She is dead; I swear that she is dead. ” “ Where is she buried? ” “ In Pere la Chaise, in Paris. ” Fanks began twisting his ring.
nyp.33433074872494	She took it from here when she went to London. ” “ Was there any writing on the back then? ” Anne reflected a moment.
nyp.33433074872494	She was never heard of again; and I have no doubt that by this time she is dead. ” “ How long ago is it since she disappeared? ” asked Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	Sir Gregory had many faults; but are you a saint your- self, Mr. Garth? ’ ” “ I do n’t pretend to be one.
nyp.33433074872494	So you think of starting again on your travels?
nyp.33433074872494	The assassin himself?
nyp.33433074872494	Then if the person in question was not Hersham, who could he — or she- be?
nyp.33433074872494	Then set someone to watch the place, and return to me. ” “ Do you think that he has anything to do with it? ” asked Crate.
nyp.33433074872494	Then she will explain the incident by a lie, and enter before us to relight the gas. ” “ Well? ” said Crate, stolidly.
nyp.33433074872494	Then you never saw the two sisters to- gether? ” “ I did not.
nyp.33433074872494	They had not met for ten years. ” “ Why did they hate one another? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433074872494	They said that Dr. Binjoy was always very gay; and used to go to London to lead a fast life. ” “ Who said that?
nyp.33433074872494	They were all proud, the Fellengers, except Sir Francis. ” “ That was Sir Gregory's father? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	This discovery explains the extraordinary conduct of Her- sham. ” “ In what way? ” THE EIGHT HELLS ENIGMAI.
nyp.33433074872494	Till then I shall watch my man. ” “ What is this letter you expect? ” demanded Louis, with curiosity.
nyp.33433074872494	To London or down the country? ” “ Oh, down the country, for sure, gents.
nyp.33433074872494	Understand? ” “ Perfectly, ” replied Fanks, who knew of Garth's financial difficulties.
nyp.33433074872494	Vaud said that I was to stay here until Sir Louis Fellenger came to town. ” “ Who is Mr. Vaud? ” demanded Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	Was Emma Calvert dead?
nyp.33433074872494	We must reject that theory also. ” “ Then what do you think was the motive of the murder? ” “ I am not a detective out of a novel, Mr. Garth.
nyp.33433074872494	We shall see; show her into the sitting- room if she calls again; has that valet been out to- day? ” “ No, sir; he seems too frightened to go out.
nyp.33433074872494	Well, you can understand that I hate Sir Louis, and I would gladly see Francis Garth sit in his place? ”.
nyp.33433074872494	Well, you were at the inquest? ” — “ How do you know? ” asked Garth, starting.
nyp.33433074872494	Well, you were at the inquest? ” — “ How do you know? ” asked Garth, starting.
nyp.33433074872494	What am I to do in Paris? ” Fanks sat down at Crate's table and wrote a name and a date.
nyp.33433074872494	What are these circumstances? ” THE CONFESSION OF HERSHAM.
nyp.33433074872494	What could I tell him?
nyp.33433074872494	What dark mystery was connected with the death of this woman that could so move the man?
nyp.33433074872494	What did she say when you re- fused? ” “ She was upset, Mr. Fanks, and insisted on seeing him.
nyp.33433074872494	What do Ayou know of Mere Hall, sir? ” “ Nothing, nothing.
nyp.33433074872494	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074872494	What do you mean? ” “ Why should you ask me that? ” said Hersham, angrily.
nyp.33433074872494	What do you mean? ” “ Why should you ask me that? ” said Hersham, angrily.
nyp.33433074872494	What do you say, Mr. Vaud? ” “ I can say nothing, ” replied Herbert, coldly.
nyp.33433074872494	What girl? ” “ A young lady who called this morning to see Robert.
nyp.33433074872494	What is it you want me to do? ” “ You know the chambers of your cousin; by my desire they have been in the hands of the police since his death.
nyp.33433074872494	What is there between you and him that he should act in this underhand way without telling me?
nyp.33433074872494	What is your opinion of me now? ” “ The same as before.
nyp.33433074872494	What motive had brought this woman to Fellenger's chambers?
nyp.33433074872494	What the deuce were he and his medical friend doing there?
nyp.33433074872494	What was she doing in such a place?
nyp.33433074872494	What's to be done now? ” It was difficult to decide.
nyp.33433074872494	When next I saw her, she was lying dead in the Morgue. ” “ You think that she flung herself into the river? ” “ I am sure of it, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	When the Captain died, Miss Jane went to some relatives in Scotland. ” “ And the heir P ” “ Sir Gregory?
nyp.33433074872494	Where did you go? ” Defore Anne could answer, a sharp knock came to the door, which drove all the blood into their hearts.
nyp.33433074872494	Where has he gone to? ” “ I ca n't tell you that, sir, I lost him.
nyp.33433074872494	Whether you stay or go I can lay my hands on you at any moment. ” “ You are having me watched? ” questioned Her- sham, fiercely.
nyp.33433074872494	Who is she? ” The lawyer reflected and frowned.
nyp.33433074872494	Who told you? ” “ Your niece, Anne. ” “ She had no business to do so. ” “ Very probably; but she could not help herself.
nyp.33433074872494	Who, then, placed this damning evidence of the crime in the box?
nyp.33433074872494	Why did Sir Francis tattoo the child with his favourite cross?
nyp.33433074872494	Why did she call there?
nyp.33433074872494	Why did she marry Fielding, almost on the same day that your uncle mar- ried Miss Darmer?
nyp.33433074872494	Why do you ask? ” “ I shall tell you that later on, ” answered Fanks, “ but tell me.
nyp.33433074872494	Why should I help you? ” 126 TRACKED BY A TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	Why should the child of Madaline Garry be marked in that way? ” “ Perhaps my uncle marked the child.
nyp.33433074872494	Why? ” “ Because you may find out that which he wished to hide before he can brace his mind to a confession.
nyp.33433074872494	Will that con- tent you? ” “ Yes, ” replied Fanks, in his turn.
nyp.33433074872494	Would you care to hear it?
nyp.33433074872494	You are playing a dangerous game, sir. ” “ You insult me, sir. ” “ Is it possible to insult you, Dr. Turnor? ” sneered Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	You deserve punishment for your trickery. ” “ You have evidence against me? ” “ I have sufficient to ensure your arrest.
nyp.33433074872494	You do n't think that I sent it? ” “ No, I do n't.
nyp.33433074872494	You heard the theory of Dr. Renshaw? ” D 2 36 TRACKED BY A TATTO0.
nyp.33433074872494	You refuse to tell me?
nyp.33433074872494	You see the connection? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074872494	You surely do not think the two men are one and the same? ” “ I have such an idea, ” said Fanks, dryly, “ strange as it may appear.
nyp.33433074872494	You wish to know who came here as a negro and killed my son?
nyp.33433074872494	Your address if you please? ” “ Twenty- four, Great Auk Street, ” said Renshaw, after some hesitation.
nyp.33433074872494	Yourself or some- body else? ” “ Somebody else, ” said Garth, with a sigh.
nyp.33433074872494	also?
nyp.33433074872494	and the name? ” “ Ted Hersham, the journalist. ” They looked at one another, the same thought occu- pying both their minds.
nyp.33433074872494	and what do you do next? ” “ Make certain of the dead man's identity. ” Crate stopped in surprise.
nyp.33433074872494	e “ Do you believe that it is Emma Calvert? ” asked Garth, who was the first to recover the use of his tongue.
nyp.33433074872494	my friend, ” he thought, “ are you in this also? ” However, he answered the question in the calmest manner.
nyp.33433074872494	was the child of Madaline a son? ” “ Yes.

nyp.33433074872494	“ Am I right in assuming that Emma is the sister of Anne? ” 120 TRACKED BY A TATTO0.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Am I to understand that I am free to go? ” de- manded the stout doctor, in a highly dramatic manner.
nyp.33433074872494	“ And what do you say, Dr. Turnor? ” “ Nothing — was away on that night.
nyp.33433074872494	“ And who is watching you?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Are you satisfied that my explanation is a correct one? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074872494	“ At what time was he taken ill? ” “ At breakfast, Mr. Garth, when he was reading the paper.
nyp.33433074872494	“ But I shall ask you why you ran away from me on that day? ” 158 TRACKED BY A TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	“ But how can you establish the truth of your statement? ” “ There are two ways.
nyp.33433074872494	“ But if you do not practise in London, how comes it that Mrs. Boazoph sent for you? ” “ She did not send for me, ” explained the doctor.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Ca n't you guess?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Can you describe the hansom?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did she meet her death by foul play? ” asked Garth, sternly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did you find out the truth, sir? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did you get that tattooed at school? ” he asked when Hersham had re- sumed his coat.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did you know Dr. Binjoy? ” “ Aye!
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did you know Dr. Binjoy? ” “ I did, and disliked him greatly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did you recognise as Caesar the black man who came here on that night? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Did your master — your late master — know of it? ” he interpolated.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Do you know anything of this, Robert? ” “ I, sir?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Do you know anything of this, Robert? ” “ I, sir?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Do you know the man? ” he asked, keeping his eyes fixed on her face.

nyp.33433074872494	“ Do you see this cross on my skin, you bloodhound of the law?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Do you think I have anything to do with the matter of Sir Gregory's death? ” he burst out.

nyp.33433074872494	“ Garth? ” he said; “ I say, Garth? ” THE RESULT OF THE CRIME.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Has the gentleman in question a long, brown beard? ” “ No, he is clean shaven.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Has your reason for writing anything to do with the left arm of our friend? ” asked Fanks, after a pause.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Have you found out who killed Fellenger? ” Fanks shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Have you not more sense than to play the fool?
nyp.33433074872494	“ How dare you introduce the name of Miss Colmer? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074872494	“ How did she get it? ” “ From Miss Colmer. ” “ I have never given any but my London address to Miss Colmer.
nyp.33433074872494	“ How did you hear of that? ” he asked, shaking in every limb.
nyp.33433074872494	“ How do you know that he will go there? ” he demanded in a dis- believing manner.
nyp.33433074872494	“ How long had your master been in town before the murder? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ However, if it was not a question of money, what about the inevitable woman? ” “ I do n’t think it was that, either, ” demurred Garth.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I am only here to exonerate myself. ” “ From what?
nyp.33433074872494	“ I am staying there at present. ” “ Staying there? ” “ Yes!
nyp.33433074872494	“ I ca n't explain what he said to me in any other way. ” “ What was that? ” said Fanks, eagerly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I guessed that you might n't be far away, so I took the liberty to come after you. ” “ To give me this packet? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I have told you all, ” he said; “ now what is your opinion? ”- “ Let me think for a minute or two, ” replied Fanks, holding up his hand.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I intend to talk to her, and to you too. ” “ What can you have to say to me? ” demanded Turnor, with an attempt at bravado.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I never saw so round- about a request for information. ” “ What does it matter? ” replied Crate, growing rather red.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I only got back three hours ago from Hamp- shire. ” “ You have been to Mere Hall? ” “ I have been in the neighbourhood of Mere Hall.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I presume you wish to learn something from her, relative to the case you have in hand? ” “ You are quite right.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I suppose you knew the mother of Mr. Garth? ” said Fanks, plunging at once into the history of the Fellenger family.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I think so, ” he said, “ but who can tell; I may be wrong. ” “ Is it a man or woman? ” asked Hersham, quickly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I want her to tell me who killed Sir Gregory. ” “ Do you think she knows that? ” “ I think she has known it all along, ” retorted Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I wish he had told you this morning. ” “ Do you?
nyp.33433074872494	“ I wonder — but that is impossible. ” “ What is impossible? ” “ Something that came into my head.
nyp.33433074872494	“ I – I – don't know her real name. ” “ What did she call herself? ” “ Emma Calvert. ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433074872494	“ In my opinion she went to see Binjoy. ” “ For what reason? ” “ I ca n’t tell you.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is anything wrong? ” “ More than I like to say, ” was his answer.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is he here? ” Hersham nodded.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is it not you who suspect me of killing this man? ” 206 TRACKED BY A TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is the case in your hands, Fanks? ” “ Yes; and I want some information from you. ” “ I shall be happy to give it.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is the truth to be discovered in Half- Moon Street? ” he asked, eagerly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is there anything wrong, my dear? ” she asked nervously.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Is this the picture of Anne Colmer? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Madaline Garry; was she also tattooed with a cross? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Maxwell! ” he said to the policeman, “ has anyone been here this morning? ” “ Yes, sir! ” replied the man, in a low tone.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Miss Colmer, ” he said in a low tone, “ tell me who killed Sir Gregory? ” “ I do not know; I swear I do not know.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Miss Eleanor?
nyp.33433074872494	“ No, that is Emma Calvert. ” “ Then these photographs are those of two different women? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ No; how could I?
nyp.33433074872494	“ No| Why do you ask me? ” she muttered, in a terrified tone.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Officer, ” he said, walk- ing quickly up to the constable, “ did you see a lady come out of yonder door? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Oh, Anne Colmer knew about this needle? ” said Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Perhaps, Robert, you can tell me where Emma Calvert came from? ” “ I do not know; my master knew, but he never told me.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Queer, is n't it? ” he said.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Shall I take you upstairs to see the body, sir? ” “ No; I shall first examine the room.
nyp.33433074872494	“ So you are Mrs. Jerusalem? ” “ That is my name; and I wish to tell you — ” “ I wish to hear nothing, ” said Fanks, roughly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ So you wore the very coat of the man whom we suspected in the first instance? ” “ I did.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Suicide? ” “ She drowned herself in the Seine, ” said Robert, in a low voice.
nyp.33433074872494	“ The Fellengers are a Hampshire family, Ibelieve? ” “ Yes, ” replied Garth, with a nod; “ Sir Gregory was the fourth baronet and only son.
nyp.33433074872494	“ The body was on the sofa, you say? ” he said after a pause.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Then why are you here, sir? ” he demanded in a more confident tone.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Then why did you ask me to assist you? ” retorted Garth, sharply.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Two glasses, you say?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Two men, you say?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Upstairs, in one of the bedrooms. ” “ Was the murder committed in one of the bed- rooms? ” “ No, Mr. Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Was Emma Calvert really and truly the wife of your master? ” “ Yes, sir; they were married quietly in a Hamp- stead church.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Was Sir Louis in Tooley's Alley on that evening? ” “ Oh, I wo n’t go so far as that.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Was it sent to that address? ” “ Yes, care of my father, who forwarded it on to me.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Was she a lady, Maxwell, or an imitation of one? ” THE RED STAR ADVERTISEMENT.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Well, Maxwell, ” he said, “ what is this? ” “ I do n’t know, sir, ” said the breathless Maxwell.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Well, Mr. Fanks, whom do you suspect? ” “ No one at present, Crate. ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433074872494	“ Well, Mrs. Boazoph, ” said he, mildly, “ I suppose you are wondering what brings me here? ” “ Indeed I am doing no such thing, Mr. Fanks.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Were you waiting for me here? ” he asked, light- ing a cigarette.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What are you staring at? ” asked Hersham, sharply.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What are your plans? ” asked Garth, taking advan- tage of the permission.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What did you do? ” “ The best I could.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you intend to do now? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you know of the tattooed cross? ” she muttered.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you mean by working in unison, Mr. Fanks? ” said Turnor, drawing himself up.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you mean? ” demanded Anne, noting how haggard he looked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you mean? ” “ What I say, sir, ” said the policeman, doggedly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you think of that? ” asked Fanks, when the baronet gave back the letter in silence.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What do you wish to talk about? ” “ About the death of your friend, Sir Gregory Fellenger. ” Garth looked up and turned round with alacrity.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What is that you say? ” he cried.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What is the matter? ” asked Garth, astonished at the excitement of the usually calm.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What kind of a person is the lady in question? ” “ An invalid, ” said Hersham, promptly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ What would you say, Miss Colmer, if I told you that I had found the assassin of Sir Gregory? ” he asked, craftily.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Where are you staying? ” he asked, abruptly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Where is Robert? ” asked Fanks, sharply.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Where is the body? ” 14 TRACKED BY A TATTOO.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Where is this woman and her friend? ” “ I do n’t know about her friend, sir; but she's gone off. ” Fanks sprang to his feet.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Who is that young lady? ” he asked in a tone of intense curi- osity.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Why are you afraid?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Why not?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Why was Sir Francis afraid of Madaline Garry?
nyp.33433074872494	“ Why? ” asked Garth, after a pause, A MYSTERIOUS IPARCEL.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Will you please excuse this intrusion, father, and look over these? ” he said quietly.
nyp.33433074872494	“ You can not guess who committed the crime? ” “ No, I can not.
nyp.33433074872494	“ You do n't think that person has anything to do with it? ” he asked, anxiously.
nyp.33433074872494	“ You do n’t think Hersham is illegitimate, do you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ You know that also? ” “ I know more than you think, Hersham; there- fore, if you attempt to deceive me I shall find you out.
nyp.33433074872494	“ You suspect Sir Louis? ” “ Such a suspicion did cross my mind.
nyp.33433074872494	“ You were not in London at the time of the murder, Dr. Turnor? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074872494	“ Your master is not guilty. ” “ Then who is guilty if he is not? ” “ I ’ll reveal that in a few moments, Mrs. Jeru- salem.
nyp.33433076053762	A broken knife?
nyp.33433076053762	Alone?
nyp.33433076053762	And in cutting it, you cut your wrist, did you?
nyp.33433076053762	And the knife?
nyp.33433076053762	And why 114 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE would she do that?
nyp.33433076053762	And you have n't seen him since?
nyp.33433076053762	And you succeeded?
nyp.33433076053762	And — and if she did not, if he — do you think she is in the house — or — or — the cellar?
nyp.33433076053762	Are you sure the clock was here yesterday?
nyp.33433076053762	At what time?
nyp.33433076053762	Before this presumed crime?
nyp.33433076053762	But is n't it true that this is a very common sort of knife? nyp.33433076053762 But what about the prying she- devil that runs the house?"
nyp.33433076053762	But — the towel?
nyp.33433076053762	Can you identify it?
nyp.33433076053762	Did Miss Brice ever mention the nature of the threats he made against her?
nyp.33433076053762	Did he come in quietly, like a man trying to avoid attention?
nyp.33433076053762	Did she know who the other woman was?
nyp.33433076053762	Did you ever know of Jennie Brice having a scar on her breast?
nyp.33433076053762	Did you hail him?
nyp.33433076053762	Did you know of any scar on your sister's body?
nyp.33433076053762	Did you observe any stains on the rope?
nyp.33433076053762	Did you put him there?
nyp.33433076053762	Did you see any preparation for a jour- ney?
nyp.33433076053762	Do you know a pharmacist named Alex- ander — Jonathan Alexander?
nyp.33433076053762	Do you know what I think?
nyp.33433076053762	Do you know what I was doing when you came in? nyp.33433076053762 Does Mr. Ladley live here?"
nyp.33433076053762	Does the remaining hand look like the hand of Jennie Brice?
nyp.33433076053762	For murder?
nyp.33433076053762	For what purpose?
nyp.33433076053762	From whom did you get the medicine?
nyp.33433076053762	Good God, woman, do you only use your eyes to cry with? nyp.33433076053762 Have you examined the body washed ashore at Sewickley?"
nyp.33433076053762	Have you seen Mr. Howell since your ar- rest?
nyp.33433076053762	Have you seen photographs of the scar on the body found at Sewickley? nyp.33433076053762 Have you seen the body found at Sewick- ley?"
nyp.33433076053762	He was to throw the knife into the water?
nyp.33433076053762	Her fur coat is n't in the closet, is it?
nyp.33433076053762	Hitting the trail again?
nyp.33433076053762	Homer? nyp.33433076053762 How do you know?
nyp.33433076053762	How is my — how is Miss Harvey?
nyp.33433076053762	How old was the girl?
nyp.33433076053762	How was she dressed?
nyp.33433076053762	I am helping the affair along and — what if it turns out badly?
nyp.33433076053762	I sup- pose you are still making the best coffee and doughnuts in the city of Allegheny? nyp.33433076053762 I wonder — do you remember about the village idiot and the horse?
nyp.33433076053762	I? nyp.33433076053762 I?"
nyp.33433076053762	In active practise?
nyp.33433076053762	Is her going away anything to make such a fuss about? nyp.33433076053762 Is it not true, Mrs. Pitman,"he said,"that many articles, particularly shoes and slippers, are found floating around during a flood?"
nyp.33433076053762	Is it the body of Jennie Brice?
nyp.33433076053762	Is she the only other woman on the street who keeps boarders?
nyp.33433076053762	Is that all she said?
nyp.33433076053762	Is that what he promised the girl?
nyp.33433076053762	Is there any sign on the door saying that boarders are charged extra for seven feet of filthy river in the bedrooms?
nyp.33433076053762	Is this number forty- two?
nyp.33433076053762	It sounded — it was not by any chance you?
nyp.33433076053762	It was there when they moved up- stairs to the room?
nyp.33433076053762	It's his fountain pen; when the ink does n't run, he shakes it, and —"Where's the clock?
nyp.33433076053762	It's nice weather — for fishes, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076053762	Just what do you mean?
nyp.33433076053762	Know this man Ladley?
nyp.33433076053762	Look anything like this?
nyp.33433076053762	Look here,said the voice angrily,"ca n't you give me any satisfaction?
nyp.33433076053762	Mr. Bellows is dead?
nyp.33433076053762	Mrs. Pitman,he said,"did you ever hear the story of the horse that wandered out of a village and could not be found?"
nyp.33433076053762	Mrs. Pitman,she said suddenly,"who was this Jennie Brice?"
nyp.33433076053762	Never heard her speak of a town named Horner, did you?
nyp.33433076053762	Not even the onyx clock?
nyp.33433076053762	Not — about me?
nyp.33433076053762	Now,said Mr. Graves, when I had shut the door,"where's the dog's- meat man?"
nyp.33433076053762	Pillow- slip?
nyp.33433076053762	Shall I bring her some tea?
nyp.33433076053762	She did n't say she was coming back to re- hearse for next week's piece?
nyp.33433076053762	She had been married before?
nyp.33433076053762	She is n't playing this week, is she?
nyp.33433076053762	Sure? nyp.33433076053762 That early Monday morning was cold, was it not?"
nyp.33433076053762	The clock?
nyp.33433076053762	Then how do you account for Mrs. Pit- man's broken knife, with the blade in your room?
nyp.33433076053762	Then if he strangled her, where did the blood come from?
nyp.33433076053762	Then the thing Mrs. Ladley said she would not do was probably to wind the clock?
nyp.33433076053762	Then this knife is yours?
nyp.33433076053762	Then why does n't he try to get away?
nyp.33433076053762	This will free Mr. Ladley, I suppose?
nyp.33433076053762	Was it out of fashion?
nyp.33433076053762	Was the boat secured?
nyp.33433076053762	Was there anything unusual about that?
nyp.33433076053762	Well, Mrs. Pitman,he said, smiling,"what did you find in the cellar when the wa- ter went down?"
nyp.33433076053762	Were there any witnesses to the opera- tion?
nyp.33433076053762	What did he find?
nyp.33433076053762	What did he say?
nyp.33433076053762	What did he say?
nyp.33433076053762	What did you do then?
nyp.33433076053762	What did you do then?
nyp.33433076053762	What did you do with'it?
nyp.33433076053762	What do you mean? nyp.33433076053762 What do you want?"
nyp.33433076053762	What doing?
nyp.33433076053762	What else did you find in the room?
nyp.33433076053762	What examination of the house did you make — if any?
nyp.33433076053762	What had she with her?
nyp.33433076053762	What sort of a dog?
nyp.33433076053762	What the devil do you want now?
nyp.33433076053762	What time was that?
nyp.33433076053762	What was the last you saw of her?
nyp.33433076053762	What was the maker's name?
nyp.33433076053762	What was the prisoner's manner at that time?
nyp.33433076053762	What's that?
nyp.33433076053762	What's that?
nyp.33433076053762	What's the matter with the Ladleys?
nyp.33433076053762	What's the matter?
nyp.33433076053762	What's the trouble, Holcombe?
nyp.33433076053762	When did Mrs. Ladley leave?
nyp.33433076053762	When do you expect him back?
nyp.33433076053762	When was that?
nyp.33433076053762	When you saw Mrs. Ladley on Sunday, did she say she was going away?
nyp.33433076053762	Where can we go?
nyp.33433076053762	Where did you see him first?
nyp.33433076053762	Where shall she put it?
nyp.33433076053762	Where was the clock when the Ladleys were moved up into this room?
nyp.33433076053762	Where?
nyp.33433076053762	Who are you, anyhow?
nyp.33433076053762	Who was the young man?
nyp.33433076053762	Why did n't you notice?
nyp.33433076053762	Why do you think he strangled her?
nyp.33433076053762	Why should I help him? nyp.33433076053762 Why?"
nyp.33433076053762	Will you describe the operation?
nyp.33433076053762	Would you know him again?
nyp.33433076053762	Would you like it?
nyp.33433076053762	Yes?
nyp.33433076053762	You are a doctor of medicine, Doctor Lit- tlefield?
nyp.33433076053762	You are certain she is out of the city?
nyp.33433076053762	You are certain you will not find it on the parlor mantel when the water goes down?
nyp.33433076053762	You are sure the woman was Jennie Brice?
nyp.33433076053762	You came home after that?
nyp.33433076053762	You cut the boat's painter with your pocket- knife?
nyp.33433076053762	You did it?
nyp.33433076053762	You do n't know where she is?
nyp.33433076053762	You do not think he was — was in love with Jennie Brice, do you?
nyp.33433076053762	You knew Jennie Ladley?
nyp.33433076053762	You operated on her, I believe?
nyp.33433076053762	You recognized the slipper?
nyp.33433076053762	You removed it?
nyp.33433076053762	You think Ladley has gone for good?
nyp.33433076053762	You threw the line to him there?
nyp.33433076053762	You went directly back home?
nyp.33433076053762	You — do you think Jennie Brice is dead, and that Mr. Howell knows — who did it?
nyp.33433076053762	157 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"Did you see him tie up the boat?"
nyp.33433076053762	183 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"You did not use Mrs. Pitman's bread- knife?"
nyp.33433076053762	25 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"Can you find out where Miss Brice has gone?"
nyp.33433076053762	68 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"Now then,"she said without any prelimi- nary,"where is Jennie Brice?"
nyp.33433076053762	87 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"Ladley went out Sunday afternoon about three, did n't he — and got back at five?"
nyp.33433076053762	And what time did you say this was?"
nyp.33433076053762	And why?
nyp.33433076053762	Are you sure this slipper belonged to Jennie Brice?"
nyp.33433076053762	B. is gone?
nyp.33433076053762	But what had Mr. Howell to do with it all?
nyp.33433076053762	But when he spoke, he was back to the crime again:"Did you ever work a typewriter?"
nyp.33433076053762	Can you identify it positively?"
nyp.33433076053762	Did he brain her with the clock?
nyp.33433076053762	Did he expect any one to believe that Jennie 41 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE Brice had gone for a vacation without notify- ing the theater?
nyp.33433076053762	Did it have a red collar?"
nyp.33433076053762	Did n't he say he burned it acci- dentally?"
nyp.33433076053762	Do I look as if I do n't care?"
nyp.33433076053762	Do n't you think you could be Alice Mur- ray for a few moments?
nyp.33433076053762	Do you in- tend to become a corpse?"
nyp.33433076053762	Do you know how many starving dogs and cats I have found this morning?"
nyp.33433076053762	Do you remember?"
nyp.33433076053762	Especially when she was to rehearse that week?
nyp.33433076053762	Has this man made away with his wife, or has he not?"
nyp.33433076053762	How are you now?"
nyp.33433076053762	How can you wind a clock, time after time, and not know the maker's name?
nyp.33433076053762	How could I?
nyp.33433076053762	How do you know she is dead?"
nyp.33433076053762	I made a half- inch incision for it"196 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"Will you sketch the cicatrix as you recall it?"
nyp.33433076053762	I went to my city editor, and got an assignment 206 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE"The towel?"
nyp.33433076053762	It was on Sunday, the fourth, that the 203 THE CASE OF JENNIE BRICE river came up, was n't it?
nyp.33433076053762	Ladley?"
nyp.33433076053762	Ladley?"
nyp.33433076053762	Ladley?"
nyp.33433076053762	Ladley?"
nyp.33433076053762	Moved away?"
nyp.33433076053762	Mr. Howell, may I speak to you for a moment?"
nyp.33433076053762	Mrs. Pitman, does that Maguire woman next door sleep all day?"
nyp.33433076053762	Now, what are we trying to do?"
nyp.33433076053762	One that nearly every house- wife has in her possession?"
nyp.33433076053762	Or about the woman on the bridge?
nyp.33433076053762	Or choke her with the key?"
nyp.33433076053762	Or do n't you care to?"
nyp.33433076053762	Or the body itself?"
nyp.33433076053762	Pitman, will you go with me to the police station?"
nyp.33433076053762	Pitman?"
nyp.33433076053762	Pitman?"
nyp.33433076053762	Pittock?"
nyp.33433076053762	The question is, then: Why was the knife taken?
nyp.33433076053762	Then, how do you know that this slip- per was not left on the floor or in a closet?"
nyp.33433076053762	Then,"Is this Ladley's writing?"
nyp.33433076053762	Then:"You saw Mr. Ladley when he brought your boat back?"
nyp.33433076053762	Want an injunction against the river for trespass?"
nyp.33433076053762	Well, what of it, Holcombe?
nyp.33433076053762	Well, what's the trouble in your district?
nyp.33433076053762	What am I to think?"
nyp.33433076053762	What did you find?"
nyp.33433076053762	What possessed you to go away as you did?
nyp.33433076053762	What would you do?
nyp.33433076053762	Where would you go?"
nyp.33433076053762	Who are you?"
nyp.33433076053762	Who called you that?"
nyp.33433076053762	Who did this to you?
nyp.33433076053762	Who hurt you?"
nyp.33433076053762	Who is Llewellyn, and who is Eliza Shaeffer?
nyp.33433076053762	Who took it?
nyp.33433076053762	Why did you cut the boat loose?"
nyp.33433076053762	Why had Mr. Bronson, who was likely the man with the pointed beard, said nothing about having traced Jennie Brice to Horner?
nyp.33433076053762	Why had he not told the po- lice of the letter from Horner?
nyp.33433076053762	Will you come to see me at once?
nyp.33433076053762	Wonder if he sees tube?
nyp.33433076053762	You may recall, Mr. Holcombe, that you offered to hang any man we would name, given a proper chain of circumstantial evidence against him?"
nyp.33433075767446	Agneta?
nyp.33433075767446	Am I feeling pretty well — eh, David?
nyp.33433075767446	AmI?
nyp.33433075767446	An in- quest? nyp.33433075767446 An inquest?"
nyp.33433075767446	And if we were married?
nyp.33433075767446	And if you are n't told?
nyp.33433075767446	And last night your dream was just the same?
nyp.33433075767446	And what will you give me instead? nyp.33433075767446 And who am I?
nyp.33433075767446	And why not, pray?
nyp.33433075767446	And why not?
nyp.33433075767446	And you will let me help you?
nyp.33433075767446	And you wo n't let me help?
nyp.33433075767446	Anything else?
nyp.33433075767446	Are people talking about David?
nyp.33433075767446	Are you comfortable?
nyp.33433075767446	Are you doing it still?
nyp.33433075767446	Are you going to see Ronnie again?
nyp.33433075767446	Are you sure?
nyp.33433075767446	Arsenic? nyp.33433075767446 Beast — ain't I?"
nyp.33433075767446	But can you be sure? nyp.33433075767446 But if not?"
nyp.33433075767446	But since then?
nyp.33433075767446	But what is it all about?
nyp.33433075767446	Can you come here at once? nyp.33433075767446 Can you hold your tongues?"
nyp.33433075767446	Could n't ye be after putting the least taste of something in my medicine, then, Doctor, dear?
nyp.33433075767446	D'you know why I would n't let her take that cup? nyp.33433075767446 Damn it all, David, why ca n't I leave my money to you instead?"
nyp.33433075767446	David wants his friends,he said,"for the matter of that, every one wants friends, hey?
nyp.33433075767446	David, I say — you know Jimmy Larkin was transferred to Assam some months ago? nyp.33433075767446 David, are you better?
nyp.33433075767446	David, should you mind if I were to go away for a little? nyp.33433075767446 David, what is the Dream?
nyp.33433075767446	David, why do you look at me like that?
nyp.33433075767446	David,said Elizabeth,"what did you mean by'doing your best'?"
nyp.33433075767446	David,she said, in a low voice,"David, what sort of woman am I?"
nyp.33433075767446	David,she said, putting her hand on his arm,"wo n't you go home now?
nyp.33433075767446	Did you think I did n't know?
nyp.33433075767446	Did you wake?
nyp.33433075767446	Do n't you see, David — don't you see how dreadful it is for Edward? nyp.33433075767446 Do you know I've never told any one about it before — does it bore you?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do you understand — do you fully understand that if a word of this is ever to get out it's just sheer ruin to the lot of us? nyp.33433075767446 Do you walk in your sleep now?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do you?
nyp.33433075767446	Does one ask a man who is dying of thirst if one may give him a drink?
nyp.33433075767446	Eh? nyp.33433075767446 Every night?"
nyp.33433075767446	Evidence?
nyp.33433075767446	Gone?
nyp.33433075767446	Harvey's Sauce?
nyp.33433075767446	Have you, my dear?
nyp.33433075767446	He asked me for it, how could there be arsenic in it?
nyp.33433075767446	Here?
nyp.33433075767446	How long are you staying?
nyp.33433075767446	How much would you take — eh, David? nyp.33433075767446 I do n't understand""Do n't you?"
nyp.33433075767446	I hope you are well, Mary, my dear? nyp.33433075767446 I suppose some people would never forgive him,"she said to Elizabeth,"but I do n't think that's right, do you?
nyp.33433075767446	I wish you would n't"My dear Molly, are you going to begin to chaperone me?
nyp.33433075767446	I? nyp.33433075767446 I?"
nyp.33433075767446	I?
nyp.33433075767446	Is anything the matter? nyp.33433075767446 Is he, Molly?"
nyp.33433075767446	Is n't he? nyp.33433075767446 Is that enough for you?"
nyp.33433075767446	Let them be cheerful as has no troubles,she 192 The Fire Within remember Jack Webster?
nyp.33433075767446	Liz, are n't you glad? nyp.33433075767446 Lizabeth, what is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	Mad? nyp.33433075767446 May n't I ask?
nyp.33433075767446	Miss Chantrey is with her sister? nyp.33433075767446 Molly, my dear, do you think it is your busi- ness?"
nyp.33433075767446	Molly, what are you talking about?
nyp.33433075767446	No?
nyp.33433075767446	Not Agneta? nyp.33433075767446 Not all at once?"
nyp.33433075767446	Not five hundred?
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, Lizabeth, why did n't you marry Louis?
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, Louis, will you ever grow up?
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, what is he doing? nyp.33433075767446 Pellico'sdog, sir?"
nyp.33433075767446	Really, Molly, may n't I think of my own husband?
nyp.33433075767446	Really?
nyp.33433075767446	Seen any more of young Stevenson, Edward?
nyp.33433075767446	Sir Wyatt Byng?
nyp.33433075767446	Stay here a year,he said,"a year is n't much to ask — eh?"
nyp.33433075767446	Sweetly pretty she'd look too — eh, David? nyp.33433075767446 That he's played us the dirtiest trick on record?
nyp.33433075767446	The world not been going nicely?
nyp.33433075767446	Then I may?
nyp.33433075767446	Then why did you marry me, Elizabeth?
nyp.33433075767446	Very strange, is it not? nyp.33433075767446 Well, Molly, and if they do?
nyp.33433075767446	Well,he said bitterly,"has Mary renounced the Bazaar in order to stay and protect you?
nyp.33433075767446	Well?
nyp.33433075767446	What an innocent young man you are, David — never heard of Pellico's dog before, did you? nyp.33433075767446 What are you going to do with your life, Lizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	What are you reading, David?
nyp.33433075767446	What did you hear?
nyp.33433075767446	What do you do? nyp.33433075767446 What do you mean by the Fourth Dimension?"
nyp.33433075767446	What do you mean?
nyp.33433075767446	What does he say? nyp.33433075767446 What is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	What is it?
nyp.33433075767446	What is it?
nyp.33433075767446	What is n't fair, David?
nyp.33433075767446	What is the good of a change? nyp.33433075767446 What is the good?"
nyp.33433075767446	What is what?
nyp.33433075767446	What's that for?
nyp.33433075767446	What's the matter?
nyp.33433075767446	What, already?
nyp.33433075767446	When do you go away, and where do you go?
nyp.33433075767446	Where are we?
nyp.33433075767446	Which is the'no'for?
nyp.33433075767446	Who is the man? nyp.33433075767446 Why did you go away?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why did you marry me?
nyp.33433075767446	Why not?
nyp.33433075767446	Why not?
nyp.33433075767446	Why not?
nyp.33433075767446	Why should I? nyp.33433075767446 Why, Molly,"said Elizabeth, kissing her,"what's the matter, child?"
nyp.33433075767446	Will you call me Elizabeth, David? nyp.33433075767446 Will you go, please, or must I ring for Mark- ham?"
nyp.33433075767446	Will you let me send you to sleep? nyp.33433075767446 Will you please go?"
nyp.33433075767446	Would you?
nyp.33433075767446	Yes — it has — one ca n't take like that"Because I'm a woman? nyp.33433075767446 Yes?"
nyp.33433075767446	Yes?
nyp.33433075767446	You did n't will that I should sleep?
nyp.33433075767446	You do n't think it?
nyp.33433075767446	You have n't told any one — not yet? nyp.33433075767446 You mean — what do you mean?
nyp.33433075767446	You think not? nyp.33433075767446 You will stay here?"
nyp.33433075767446	You wo n't take a thousand?
nyp.33433075767446	You would n't marry me first, I suppose? nyp.33433075767446 You're thinking of me, really of me — not about David, as you were just now?
nyp.33433075767446	You've had a letter like this? nyp.33433075767446 152 The Fire WithinDavid, are you asking me to marry you?"
nyp.33433075767446	230 The Fire Within Next day Agneta said suddenly:"Lizabeth, what is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	? 84 The Fire Within"We used to talk of that too, and lately I have thought about it a lot."
nyp.33433075767446	Am I Elizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	Am I Mary?"
nyp.33433075767446	Am I going mad, Elizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	And David stared and said:"Beastly?
nyp.33433075767446	And I said,'What would you like best?'
nyp.33433075767446	And I suppose you told Agneta weeks ago?"
nyp.33433075767446	And Mrs. Mottisfont is seeing visitors, you say?
nyp.33433075767446	And he wants a holiday, hey?"
nyp.33433075767446	And out of the darkness David called to her: 222 The Fire Within"Love, where are you gone to?"
nyp.33433075767446	And there's another thing — how many people have you told?
nyp.33433075767446	And what was she doing now?
nyp.33433075767446	And what's Edward to do?
nyp.33433075767446	And you would, would n't you?"
nyp.33433075767446	And you, Elizabeth?
nyp.33433075767446	Anything fresh?"
nyp.33433075767446	Are n't they well forward?
nyp.33433075767446	Are n't you pleased?
nyp.33433075767446	Are you angry, love, because I have forgotten your name?"
nyp.33433075767446	Are you sleeping?"
nyp.33433075767446	Are you sure?"
nyp.33433075767446	But 250 The Fire Within really have n't told David?
nyp.33433075767446	But I really only intended to explain how it came about that?
nyp.33433075767446	But at last he said:"So I slept, because you saw me in the Divine Consciousness; is that it?"
nyp.33433075767446	But you'd rather be here as a rule, would n't you?"
nyp.33433075767446	CHAPTER IV A MAN'S HONOUR"Will you give me your heart?"
nyp.33433075767446	CHAPTER XVI FRIENDSHIP See, God is everywhere, Where, then, is care?
nyp.33433075767446	Ca n't she spare you just for two days — or three — to save Ronnie's life?
nyp.33433075767446	Come now — say — how much?"
nyp.33433075767446	Could n't you be making it the least taste stronger, then?"
nyp.33433075767446	D'ye hear?"
nyp.33433075767446	D'you know why?"
nyp.33433075767446	David could still hear Edward Mottisfont's voice asking,"How long is he likely to live?"
nyp.33433075767446	David said"How do you do?"
nyp.33433075767446	David's a friend of yours, is n't he?
nyp.33433075767446	Did you mean what you said upstairs?"
nyp.33433075767446	Did you never realise that any jury in the world would have hanged you on the evidence?
nyp.33433075767446	Do n't you care at all?
nyp.33433075767446	Do n't you see that?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do n't you think so?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do you grasp that?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do you know?
nyp.33433075767446	Do you mind?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do you remember old Madden?
nyp.33433075767446	Do you want me to go away to- morrow?
nyp.33433075767446	Do you want me to?"
nyp.33433075767446	Do you want to get rid of me?"
nyp.33433075767446	Does n't he make you feel beastly?"
nyp.33433075767446	Does n't it make you happy?
nyp.33433075767446	Edward Sings 97 As she leaned forward with her cup in her hand, she asked casually:"Have you seen much of David lately?"
nyp.33433075767446	Edward's a lucky dog, ai n't he?"
nyp.33433075767446	Eh, David?
nyp.33433075767446	Eh, David?
nyp.33433075767446	Elizabeth heard her own Forgotten Ways 141"Is that what you are afraid of?"
nyp.33433075767446	Five yellow bands on a black ground — what do you think of that?"
nyp.33433075767446	For the Lord's sake, what's the good of a woman that ca n't mind children?'"
nyp.33433075767446	For the ninth time of asking, will you marry me?"
nyp.33433075767446	Good Lord, Edward, did you never realise your position?
nyp.33433075767446	Had you not better send Edward a message, or he will be coming back here?
nyp.33433075767446	Have you got any- thing to eat, Liz?
nyp.33433075767446	Have you read Fen- der's last?
nyp.33433075767446	Have you told people already?"
nyp.33433075767446	Havergill told Markham; now, Liz, what's the sense of your looking at me like that?
nyp.33433075767446	Havergill?"
nyp.33433075767446	He frowned, made calculations upon his fingers, and finally inquired:"How many times have I proposed to you, Lizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	He laughed aloud suddenly, and Elizabeth looked up and asked:"What is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	He paused, and then said frowning:"It's so odd""Odd?"
nyp.33433075767446	He said,'I ca n't sign the certificate,'and Edward said,'Why not?'
nyp.33433075767446	He set the stage, and called the cast, and who so ready as we?
nyp.33433075767446	He wo n't want much persuading, hey?
nyp.33433075767446	He wrote back and said he would see what he could do, and last mail he sent me""What — a package of live scorpions?"
nyp.33433075767446	He's told you?
nyp.33433075767446	Hey?
nyp.33433075767446	How could it compass and oppress the immortal image of God?
nyp.33433075767446	How dare you?"
nyp.33433075767446	How did we come here, you and I, With the pool beneath, and the trees above?
nyp.33433075767446	How does it go?"
nyp.33433075767446	How is it done?"
nyp.33433075767446	How many times have you taken me seriously, Liza- beth?
nyp.33433075767446	How on earth do you manage it?
nyp.33433075767446	How would you have liked it if I'd hidden things from you?"
nyp.33433075767446	I Ve never flirted with David — I really have n't — you know that, Liz?"
nyp.33433075767446	I opened the door into the dining- room — just a little""Mary, what is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	I said,'Why, how on earth is any one to know that it is n't Elizabeth he comes to see?'
nyp.33433075767446	I wanted to be with him — oh, Liz""Mary, what is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	I'm glad, Edward and Mary'll be glad, and David — hey?
nyp.33433075767446	I, who would give my very soul for you, What can I do?
nyp.33433075767446	If I ring David up, and ask him to come here at once — at once — to see me, do n't you see how much better that will be?"
nyp.33433075767446	If one 238 The Fire Within does n't, well, there was Dorothy Jackson — don't you remember?
nyp.33433075767446	In which of them has the sun his tabernacle, through which of them does the moon pass, by a path of silver adoration?
nyp.33433075767446	Is it because Mr. Mottisfont asked you to?"
nyp.33433075767446	Is it true?
nyp.33433075767446	Is my uncle likely to live on indefinitely?
nyp.33433075767446	Is n't fifteen years enough?"
nyp.33433075767446	It was his wish, was it not?"
nyp.33433075767446	It's amusing, is n't it?"
nyp.33433075767446	Just because I'm a woman?"
nyp.33433075767446	Liz, does he love you — does he?"
nyp.33433075767446	Liz- Liz, why do such awful things happen?
nyp.33433075767446	Lord, David, what d'ye want to look like that for?
nyp.33433075767446	Markham, will you please tell Miss Elizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	Mary had screamed — why?
nyp.33433075767446	Mary, of course?"
nyp.33433075767446	Now that I'm idle, I forget that other people have business, hey?
nyp.33433075767446	Now which do you suppose, Miss Dobell?"
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, David, are n't you going to help us?"
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, David, you'll sign the certificate, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, Lizabeth, wo n't you let it down just for once?"
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, am I too late?
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, by the way, Liz, talking of David, do you know that I met Katie Ellerton yesterday, and — how long is it since Dr. Ellerton died?"
nyp.33433075767446	Oh, do you think he's safe?
nyp.33433075767446	Or — suicide — do you think he committed suicide?"
nyp.33433075767446	Really?"
nyp.33433075767446	Shall I ask her to come in one day?"
nyp.33433075767446	She paused, and then said with a flutter in her throat:"Do you ever write poetry now, David?
nyp.33433075767446	She saw it harden when Mary looked at him, and quiver with pain A Man's Honour 51 care?
nyp.33433075767446	Skeffington would have me see him, but what's the use?
nyp.33433075767446	So I had thought of a whole lot of names, and last night I said to Edward,'What shall we call it?'
nyp.33433075767446	That he does n't know?"
nyp.33433075767446	The Woman of the Dream 217 But if the David of the dream were not the real David, then what was she?
nyp.33433075767446	The full cup lowered down into the sea, Is full continually, How can it lose one drop when all around The endless floods abound?
nyp.33433075767446	Then he said suddenly:"What'll you do when I'm dead, Elizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	Then she heard David say:"Would you marry me, Elizabeth?"
nyp.33433075767446	Then she said:"Molly, dear, why should we try and prevent David from going to see Katie Ellerton?
nyp.33433075767446	There are only you and I — and you are Love""And if I went out of the Dream?"
nyp.33433075767446	There is no night in Him, Then how can we grow dim?
nyp.33433075767446	Was it something from the past, or something from the future?
nyp.33433075767446	Was it this morning, or yesterday morning, that Edward had asked him when he was going to take a holiday?
nyp.33433075767446	Was she to cling to the shadow, because in the shadow David had clung to her?
nyp.33433075767446	We were very wise, my dear, Children, lovers, gods, Where's the wisdom that we knew, With our world at odds, When we built the Pyramid in Egypt?
nyp.33433075767446	What about Pellico's dog then?"
nyp.33433075767446	What altar is served by the rushing winds and lighted by the stars?
nyp.33433075767446	What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433075767446	What had he said to her — or done?
nyp.33433075767446	What had she done?
nyp.33433075767446	What has Edward done?"
nyp.33433075767446	What has happened?"
nyp.33433075767446	What is it?"
nyp.33433075767446	What is there for them to say?
nyp.33433075767446	What was I saying?
nyp.33433075767446	What'll you do?"
nyp.33433075767446	What's the good of the fellow?
nyp.33433075767446	What's the matter?"
nyp.33433075767446	When the old gentleman paused for breath David inquired,"What's the trouble, sir?"
nyp.33433075767446	Where did it come from, this sudden rush of the wind, that seemed to blow through her?
nyp.33433075767446	Where have I seen this black, black pool, That never ruffles to any breath, But stares and stares at the empty sky, As silently as death?
nyp.33433075767446	Which of the temples that man has built, has light for its walls, and cloud and fire for its pillars?
nyp.33433075767446	Which was the real David?
nyp.33433075767446	Which was the reality?
nyp.33433075767446	Who is he?
nyp.33433075767446	Who — who do you think — who would do such a thing?
nyp.33433075767446	Who?
nyp.33433075767446	Why are women such fools?
nyp.33433075767446	Why did Elizabeth look at him like that?
nyp.33433075767446	Why did n't you tell me before?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why did n't you tell me, Liz?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why do n't you go away?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why do n't you go away?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why do n't you go right away — leave it all behind you, and start again?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why does God let them happen?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why on earth should I say it if I did n't think it?"
nyp.33433075767446	Why should I feel beastly?
nyp.33433075767446	Why should I say what I do n't mean?
nyp.33433075767446	Why should he ask for Elizabeth?
nyp.33433075767446	Why should n't he?
nyp.33433075767446	Why should n't poor Katie go out of mourning?
nyp.33433075767446	Why should you pretend?
nyp.33433075767446	Why?
nyp.33433075767446	Why?
nyp.33433075767446	Will he come at once?"
nyp.33433075767446	Will he come?
nyp.33433075767446	Will he marry you if I divorce you?"
nyp.33433075767446	Will you give me your honour?"
nyp.33433075767446	Will you go?"
nyp.33433075767446	Will you have bread and butter or tea- cake?
nyp.33433075767446	Will you say Elizabeth to me?"
nyp.33433075767446	Would you have gone back to a year ago?"
nyp.33433075767446	Would you have suspected me of it?
nyp.33433075767446	Would you like to see her?
nyp.33433075767446	Yes?
nyp.33433075767446	Yes?
nyp.33433075767446	You have n't written?
nyp.33433075767446	You know?"
nyp.33433075767446	You saw the secret and the shrine, You bowed your head and went your way — Oh, was it in the dead of night, Or in the dark that brings the day?
nyp.33433075767446	You would n't come with me?"
nyp.33433075767446	You'd rather not talk about it?
nyp.33433075767446	You, and Mary, and Edward, you're his friends, are n't you?—and two of you are women, so he'll have to be polite, hey?
nyp.33433075767446	and he looked awfully pleased and said,'What do you think?'
nyp.33433075767446	he said,"an inquest?"
nyp.33433075767446	you remember my telling you about my dream?"
nyp.33433082171087	But I must n’t begin by scolding you, must I?
nyp.33433082171087	Do n't you see? ” I closed my eyes wearily, for the strain was again telling upon me.
nyp.33433082171087	Goin'to let anything else go 2"“ What's Miss Salvation say?
nyp.33433082171087	Have you any more lodgers? ” “ Not a one, more's the pity.
nyp.33433082171087	How can I describe her?
nyp.33433082171087	I do n't smoke. ” “ You do n't Why not? ” Rodney's eyes opened wide.
nyp.33433082171087	In English characters it would read: “ Ala má mahrub lais hahumá Khatar. ” Which being translated signifies: “ Why should we flee?
nyp.33433082171087	Is it hanythink you want, sir? ” The absolute immobility of his broad, red coun- tenance was perfect as he handed the object to his master.
nyp.33433082171087	Is it your welcome to a stranger? ” And he threw out his delicate, olive- tinted hands with a queer, foreign gesture.
nyp.33433082171087	Is that all the money you've got about you? ” pointing to the seven cents on the floor.
nyp.33433082171087	Leave it in my room when you go up again, will you? ” And he made his escape.
nyp.33433082171087	Oh, Frank, do you know how this sick- ness has changed you?
nyp.33433082171087	Sue plade it well in your Offis, dident she?
nyp.33433082171087	What kind o'flowers? ” inquired Aunt Salvation, who had come out to see what the commotion was about.
nyp.33433082171087	Where had I seen it before?
nyp.33433082171087	up already? ” This last to Mintie, who came in with a dance and a skip, fresh from the long, sweet sleep of childhood.
nyp.33433082171087	‘ The farmer's all right, fast enough, and so's the girl y ‘ ‘ But the other?'
nyp.33433082171087	‘ Will you hold her a minute while I investigate the probable mouse- hole?'
nyp.33433082171087	“ Any more comin ’? ” he asked, as he met my eye.
nyp.33433082171087	“ But — but » 2 “ Well? ” “ What use is it ” “ What use 7"he repeats the words mechani- cally.
nyp.33433082171087	“ Empty?
nyp.33433082171087	“ Ever see him before?''
nyp.33433082171087	“ Good enough She'll wake you all up, and strike the loud cymbals when you ’re dull, eh? ” laughed Fred.
nyp.33433082171087	“ Got more at home, I suppose? ” A decided shake of the head.
nyp.33433082171087	“ How did you know? ”.
nyp.33433082171087	“ How much money did you say was in your pocketbook, Colonel? ” asked Tom, rising to cross- examine the witness.
nyp.33433082171087	“ Is n’t there anything else? ” I asked, after a critical examination of the wretched little room.
nyp.33433082171087	“ Say, Ali, where'd you come from, anyway? ” The new boy turned fiercely on the speaker.
nyp.33433082171087	“ Then a great light shone around, Voices came from heaven, too; All the lambs were so afraid — I guess I ’d be — would n't you?
nyp.33433082171087	“ Well? ” said he, sharply, after a moment.
nyp.33433082171087	“ What can I do for you? ” The woman, who was very tall and angular, ad- vanced, limping slightly as she did so.
nyp.33433082171087	“ What is it, Grahan,? ” asked the teacher, in his sharp, incisive tones.
nyp.33433082171087	“ What lingo's that?
nyp.33433082171087	“ What on earth — look here, old chap, you're down on your luck, are n't you? ” The man nodded.
nyp.33433082171087	“ What was it, Nat I ought to know, and you and I are chums, are n’t we? ” “ Well, I guess! ” and he gave me a playfully affectionate punch.
nyp.33433082171087	“ White'"I shouted, half beside myself, for I feared he might have fallen over a precipice, “ where are you?
nyp.33433082171087	“ Who bought it ” “ How should I know?
nyp.33433082171087	“ Why do you all look at me this way?
nyp.33433082171087	“ You did n’t know it was a woman you were treating so kindly, sir, did you? ”- Reginald was too taken aback to speak.
nyp.33433082171087	“ ‘ Did I? ” rather nervously.
nyp.33433082171087	“ ‘ I suppose, Mr. Blank, this fine old stand of drawers is an heirloom?'
njp.32101067344661	$ Tio cared? njp.32101067344661 'Hungarian?'
njp.32101067344661	'Italian?' njp.32101067344661 About Lord Wynderbroke?"
njp.32101067344661	And I suppose there is no objection any- where?
njp.32101067344661	And I think you like me, Martha?
njp.32101067344661	And Mr. Longcluse, was he your patient also?
njp.32101067344661	And everything elshe is going shovell; and it would look fishy, do n't you think, to let thish thing go that way?
njp.32101067344661	And has this been going on for some time, or is it a sudden thing?
njp.32101067344661	And have you a case against him?
njp.32101067344661	And he asked for the right boot?
njp.32101067344661	And how are you, Martha? njp.32101067344661 And how much do you want?
njp.32101067344661	And in crime, you say?
njp.32101067344661	And now, doctor, do n't be afraid; tell me truly, shall I do?
njp.32101067344661	And perhaps you will reconsider the matter I spoke of? njp.32101067344661 And the other?"
njp.32101067344661	And what about the man — the person the police were to have inquired after?
njp.32101067344661	And what do I know about you? njp.32101067344661 And what does Caroline Chambray say to that?"
njp.32101067344661	And what might be the nature of the more serious charge, sir?
njp.32101067344661	And what pleasure can a person so very ill as he looks take in going to places like that?
njp.32101067344661	And what ze devil in it, then?
njp.32101067344661	And when will you see him?
njp.32101067344661	And where are you going?
njp.32101067344661	And where is your brother? njp.32101067344661 And where the devil's Crozier?
njp.32101067344661	And where was that funeral?
njp.32101067344661	And who am I, do you suppose?
njp.32101067344661	And why not?
njp.32101067344661	And you gave it to him?
njp.32101067344661	And — who's this?
njp.32101067344661	And, what is more to the purpose( will you forgive my reporting all this — you wo n't mind? njp.32101067344661 Any more newshe?"
njp.32101067344661	Are settlements agreed on?
njp.32101067344661	Are the gentlemen who dined still here?
njp.32101067344661	Are you certain?
njp.32101067344661	Are you ill?
njp.32101067344661	But are any of these things proved?
njp.32101067344661	But can you tell me about the other affair?
njp.32101067344661	But do you think you can discover the man?
njp.32101067344661	But is it so certain that the man was robbed?
njp.32101067344661	But perhaps you think this place safer?
njp.32101067344661	But what could I do, sir? njp.32101067344661 But you talk of bringing me face to face with them; how soon?"
njp.32101067344661	By- the- by, Martha,said he,"has Mr. Plumes come?
njp.32101067344661	Ca n't you guess?
njp.32101067344661	Can I see my brother?
njp.32101067344661	Can there be a better introduction than a kindness?
njp.32101067344661	Can this noble baron be a distiller of poisons?
njp.32101067344661	Can you define them?
njp.32101067344661	Can you give me an accurate description of Yelland Mace?
njp.32101067344661	Cold, are ye?'
njp.32101067344661	Command? njp.32101067344661 Connecting him with the murder?"
njp.32101067344661	Could n't one see him for a few minutes before he starts? njp.32101067344661 Dead?"
njp.32101067344661	Did I? njp.32101067344661 Did n't you hear?"
njp.32101067344661	Did n't you never shee a ferret kill a rab- bit? njp.32101067344661 Did you desire him to call for it?"
njp.32101067344661	Did you ever see that gentleman?
njp.32101067344661	Did you remark some awfully ill- looking fellows there?
njp.32101067344661	Did you see the same man again that night?
njp.32101067344661	Did you write these letters?
njp.32101067344661	Do I? njp.32101067344661 Do n't you wish you may get it?
njp.32101067344661	Do you despair?
njp.32101067344661	Do you fancy I would tell any one, if I knew?
njp.32101067344661	Do you know my name?
njp.32101067344661	Do you know that gentleman's name?
njp.32101067344661	Do you like his style of — beauty, I suppose I should call it? njp.32101067344661 Do you mean to say that he wo n't take your refusal?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you mean,said David Arden,"lit- erally that Yelland Mace is no longer liv- ing?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you notice a sort of little jerk in the foot, just the least thing in the world?
njp.32101067344661	Do you perfectly recollect the features of these persons?
njp.32101067344661	Do you really wish to see her again?
njp.32101067344661	Do you recollect whether there was any- thing noticeable in his features? njp.32101067344661 Do you think so?
njp.32101067344661	Do you think there was another man by, beside the two villains in the gig?
njp.32101067344661	Does any man who has lived as long as you or I, quite trust his own resolution? njp.32101067344661 Does she relent?
njp.32101067344661	Does she? njp.32101067344661 Does your sister like any one in particu- lar — is she attached to any one — are her affections quite disengaged?"
njp.32101067344661	Eh? njp.32101067344661 Eh?
njp.32101067344661	Everything goes to the Crown, eh?
njp.32101067344661	For God's sake, what is it?
njp.32101067344661	For money?
njp.32101067344661	Goon; what more? njp.32101067344661 Growlin', eh?"
njp.32101067344661	Had he a high nose?
njp.32101067344661	Had n't we better wait till we have her quite to ourselves? njp.32101067344661 Have you drawn those bills?"
njp.32101067344661	Have you formed no conjecture?
njp.32101067344661	Have you heard anything more about that affair of Lady Mary Playfair and Captain Mayfair? njp.32101067344661 He asked for the boot I wore yesterday, or last night — which did he say?"
njp.32101067344661	He is accepted, then?
njp.32101067344661	He was a little unfortunate in showing you his list, was n't he?
njp.32101067344661	He was acquainted with Mr. Long- cluse?
njp.32101067344661	He was robbed, too, was n't he?
njp.32101067344661	He's not gone dead so quick as that?
njp.32101067344661	He's very agreeable, is n't he? njp.32101067344661 Here I am, my dear Longcluse,"said Richard Arden, rising ano?
njp.32101067344661	His name?
njp.32101067344661	Hope?
njp.32101067344661	How are you, old Crozier?
njp.32101067344661	How can I tell how my disclosures might be punished? njp.32101067344661 How can I tell that you ever set eyes on Mr. Longcluse?"
njp.32101067344661	How can I'elp't? njp.32101067344661 How can you talk so?
njp.32101067344661	How can you think so?
njp.32101067344661	How d'ye do, Mr. Goldshed? njp.32101067344661 How d'ye do, Richard?
njp.32101067344661	How dare you, sir, hold such language to me? njp.32101067344661 How did she take it?
njp.32101067344661	How do mean?
njp.32101067344661	How do you contrive to keep your rooms so deliciously cool? njp.32101067344661 How do you do, Martha?"
njp.32101067344661	How do you know? njp.32101067344661 How do you mean?"
njp.32101067344661	How is Martha?
njp.32101067344661	How is Miss Arden?
njp.32101067344661	How is it that you men, who are always accusing us weak women of thinking of nothing else, can never get the subject of matrimony out of your heads? njp.32101067344661 How is the baron?"
njp.32101067344661	How old?
njp.32101067344661	How so?
njp.32101067344661	How so?
njp.32101067344661	How's a'wi'you, Master Richard? njp.32101067344661 How'sh Mish Chiffinch?"
njp.32101067344661	How? njp.32101067344661 How?"
njp.32101067344661	How?
njp.32101067344661	I aiways thought so,she said;"and he admires her, of course?"
njp.32101067344661	I beg your pardon, Lord Wynderbroke,said David Arden,"but would you mind giving me a few minutes?
njp.32101067344661	I can get notes for one of these checks to- night?
njp.32101067344661	I can have it all? njp.32101067344661 I can return to the Hill of Ludgate — eh?"
njp.32101067344661	I do n't know why I staid to listen — face — voice, what is the agency about that fellow? njp.32101067344661 I do n't think Martha's well — will you excuse me for a moment?"
njp.32101067344661	I do n't think you like him, Mr. Long- cluse; is not that story a little too like'The Merry Wives of Windsor?'
njp.32101067344661	I have made that shadow a little more purple; do you think it an improvement?
njp.32101067344661	I have plenty to live on; I know that exactly,said Diclv"What is it?"
njp.32101067344661	I really do n't recollect; but does it very much matter?
njp.32101067344661	I say, your horse's knees are a bit broken, ai n't they? njp.32101067344661 I think I saw you a little spoony to- day, Vivian, did n't I?"
njp.32101067344661	I — I forget; did you say an hour?
njp.32101067344661	I'm not quite myself, I ca n't follow it; too much to think of; what is it?
njp.32101067344661	I'm not worthy to speak to you, I be- lieve — eh? njp.32101067344661 I'm to suppose that you have made up your mind to act no longer for my friend, whoever that friend may be?"
njp.32101067344661	I)idyou see Armagnac's man?
njp.32101067344661	If you do n't like the time, why do n't you try shorn where elsh? njp.32101067344661 In what?"
njp.32101067344661	Information? njp.32101067344661 Ip*is because it is? mnatural that I like that song so much; the air is so ominous and spectral, and yet so passionate.
njp.32101067344661	Is Lady May Penrose at home?
njp.32101067344661	Is Miss Arden at home?
njp.32101067344661	Is Sir Richard Arden interested in it?
njp.32101067344661	Is Yelland Mace still living?
njp.32101067344661	Is either of us like him?
njp.32101067344661	Is he affectionate?
njp.32101067344661	Is he here?
njp.32101067344661	Is he still in the house?
njp.32101067344661	Is it anything in any way connected with your sister, Miss Arden?
njp.32101067344661	Is my uncle at home?
njp.32101067344661	Is your brother- in- law here?'
njp.32101067344661	Lady May was talking to me at Raleigh Court, the day we were there — she can talk of no one else, poor old thing? njp.32101067344661 May I ask one other question, which I think you will have no difficulty in answer- ing?"
njp.32101067344661	May I remain?
njp.32101067344661	May I say one word more, and make one request of monsieur, which I hope he will not think very impertinent?
njp.32101067344661	Miss Arden, will you forgive my ventur- ing to restore this glove, which I happened to see you drop as the horses passed?
njp.32101067344661	Mon- sieur will pardon me, but we professional men must turn our time and knowledge to account, do you see? njp.32101067344661 Monsieur Yelland Mace?
njp.32101067344661	Mr. David Arden very well, I hope?
njp.32101067344661	Mr. Longcluse is a friend of yours?
njp.32101067344661	Mrs. Tansey keeps a fire all the year round — do n't you, Martha?
njp.32101067344661	No one knows who l am; who can tell my history? njp.32101067344661 No one up in the house but you?"
njp.32101067344661	No suspicion of fire?
njp.32101067344661	No, certainly,said Richard;"and he said it was he who lent it?"
njp.32101067344661	No; what is it?
njp.32101067344661	Not an estate? njp.32101067344661 Nothing serious?"
njp.32101067344661	Now tell me — and think first — was he a bit like that Mr. Longcluse, whose appear- ance startled you the other evening?
njp.32101067344661	Now, Pierre, my friend, you must win some money upon this match — do you see? njp.32101067344661 Of course — but what's the matter?"
njp.32101067344661	Of what nature?
njp.32101067344661	Oh I perhaps in the garden?
njp.32101067344661	Oh, the clergyman? njp.32101067344661 Oh?
njp.32101067344661	On the Continent? njp.32101067344661 One effect of a judgment in this case is forfeiture?"
njp.32101067344661	Ought n't I to ask, rather, what you think of her?
njp.32101067344661	Permit me to ask,said the baron,"are your inquiries directed to a legal object?"
njp.32101067344661	Playing? njp.32101067344661 Please, sir, have you done with the room, sir?"
njp.32101067344661	Really? njp.32101067344661 Really?
njp.32101067344661	Really?
njp.32101067344661	See to the gentleman, will ye?
njp.32101067344661	Shall I fetch your tea, sir? njp.32101067344661 Shall I tell that to Sir Reginald — it would amuse him?"
njp.32101067344661	Shir Richard, will you be so good to come nearer a bit? njp.32101067344661 Should you know him again?"
njp.32101067344661	Sign it, shall I? njp.32101067344661 Sir Richard?"
njp.32101067344661	So you will want that bit o'money in hand?
njp.32101067344661	Stentorqni?
njp.32101067344661	Suppose he is dead, what then?
njp.32101067344661	Suppose we begin now?
njp.32101067344661	Surely you ca n't mean Vivian Darnley?
njp.32101067344661	Surely you can say this — it is hardly a question, I am so sure of it — is the friend who lends this money a gentleman?
njp.32101067344661	Ten to one? njp.32101067344661 That is all?"
njp.32101067344661	That was toward the Islington side?
njp.32101067344661	That young man is a Mr. Vivian, ai n't he?
njp.32101067344661	The Baron Vanboeren?
njp.32101067344661	The right foot? njp.32101067344661 The shame,"responded Levi, still smil- ing,"and'owish Mr. Harden thishevening?"
njp.32101067344661	Then how can you say whether he be dead or no?
njp.32101067344661	Then, Martha, will you tell him to come here?
njp.32101067344661	There he waits,said the baron,"and — did you ever see him?"
njp.32101067344661	There was, sir; and it affected me My niece, sir, had a wery Really? njp.32101067344661 There's luggage a'top?"
njp.32101067344661	This is you, Alice? njp.32101067344661 To our firm; who elshe?
njp.32101067344661	Up the steps l Yes; you wish to enter? njp.32101067344661 Upon my word, Miss Alice, that is very good oratory indeed?
njp.32101067344661	Was he tall or short? njp.32101067344661 Was he?"
njp.32101067344661	Was n't it good of her to come?
njp.32101067344661	Was the poor girl fool enough to accept his invitation?
njp.32101067344661	Well, Dick, it is time enough to think of that by- and- by, do n't you think?
njp.32101067344661	Well, I did, or I did n't, and what's that to you?
njp.32101067344661	Well, Richard, what do you think?
njp.32101067344661	Well, now, you ca n't manage it here, under the gaze of the people; but — where is best? njp.32101067344661 Well, shall I confess, Mr. Longcluse, you do sometimes say things that are, I fear, a little too wise for my poor compre- hension?"
njp.32101067344661	Well, suppose I do?
njp.32101067344661	Well, supposin'I say aye, how soon will it be settled?
njp.32101067344661	Well, what about it? njp.32101067344661 Well, what's the matter?
njp.32101067344661	Well, what's up now — what's the hurry?
njp.32101067344661	Well, you have some London friend in the room, have n't you?
njp.32101067344661	Wha- at letter?
njp.32101067344661	What I give up play, and commence husband? njp.32101067344661 What about them shettlements, Sir Rich- ard — a nishe young lady with a ha- a- tful o'money?"
njp.32101067344661	What are you doing there?
njp.32101067344661	What can Richard have meant by giving her such a direction? njp.32101067344661 What can the matter be?
njp.32101067344661	What can you mean, dear Richard? njp.32101067344661 What friend?"
njp.32101067344661	What happened him?
njp.32101067344661	What has he been saying?
njp.32101067344661	What have I done to earn this curse? njp.32101067344661 What is it for?"
njp.32101067344661	What is it in that voice thaWis so hate- ful? njp.32101067344661 What is it?"
njp.32101067344661	What is it?
njp.32101067344661	What is thought of that in the city?
njp.32101067344661	What kind of man was he?
njp.32101067344661	What makes him look sa white and dow- ley?
njp.32101067344661	What man?
njp.32101067344661	What man?
njp.32101067344661	What o'clock is it?
njp.32101067344661	What o'clock is it?
njp.32101067344661	What on earth can you mean? njp.32101067344661 What shall I do?"
njp.32101067344661	What things? njp.32101067344661 What things?"
njp.32101067344661	What was his name?
njp.32101067344661	What was it?
njp.32101067344661	What will you take, sir, please?
njp.32101067344661	What's going on at the opera? njp.32101067344661 What's his name?"
njp.32101067344661	What's the matter, Martha?
njp.32101067344661	What's up?
njp.32101067344661	What's your name?
njp.32101067344661	What, two lovers charged upon one lady? njp.32101067344661 When I succeed to all this, who will be mistress of it?"
njp.32101067344661	When did you leave that place last night?
njp.32101067344661	Where are the boots that I wore yester- day?
njp.32101067344661	Where is Sir Reginald at present?
njp.32101067344661	Where is Tansey? njp.32101067344661 Where is he?
njp.32101067344661	Where was I then — Paris or Vienna? njp.32101067344661 Where's Franklin?"
njp.32101067344661	Who are you?
njp.32101067344661	Who has got it?
njp.32101067344661	Who is he?
njp.32101067344661	Who'd a guessed we was to have a night like this in summer- time?
njp.32101067344661	Who's there?
njp.32101067344661	Who.said that?
njp.32101067344661	Who?
njp.32101067344661	Who?
njp.32101067344661	Whom did Alice Arden come with?
njp.32101067344661	Why ca n't they keep apart?
njp.32101067344661	Why did n't ye fetch a line o'the old author with you?
njp.32101067344661	Why do n't you cut them confounded rashesh, Shir Richard? njp.32101067344661 Why not?
njp.32101067344661	Why not?
njp.32101067344661	Why should I be so disturbed at that little French fellow? njp.32101067344661 Why should it be?
njp.32101067344661	Why should you prefer an unequal war with me? njp.32101067344661 Why, it'll be on that box, wo n't it?"
njp.32101067344661	Why, what do you want, Alice?
njp.32101067344661	Will he say so?
njp.32101067344661	Will you approach? njp.32101067344661 Will you give me your reasons?"
njp.32101067344661	Will you please to get in, sir?
njp.32101067344661	Will you shpare me one word, Mr. Long- clooshe?
njp.32101067344661	Will you take a biscuit and a glass of sherry, Sir Richard?
njp.32101067344661	Will you, Baron Vanboeren, be so good as to give me any information you possess respecting Mr. Longcluse? njp.32101067344661 Will your brother go with you?"
njp.32101067344661	Will your instructions permit you to tell me who that person is?
njp.32101067344661	Wo n't you take something?
njp.32101067344661	Would you mind telling him kindly that I want to say a word to him?
njp.32101067344661	Would you object, ma'am, to my making a glass of something hot? njp.32101067344661 Ye're there, are ye?"
njp.32101067344661	Yes, I know that was?
njp.32101067344661	Yes; how do you know that?
njp.32101067344661	You are quite sure of that? njp.32101067344661 You are quite sure of the identity of this?"
njp.32101067344661	You ca n't mean papa — or yourself?
njp.32101067344661	You have been in the Bast, I think; have you any of the Hindostanee songs? njp.32101067344661 You have something to say to me?"
njp.32101067344661	You knew him in Paris, I believe?
njp.32101067344661	You know him very well, then?
njp.32101067344661	You know, dear Dick, that was always out of the question; and surely you have heard that Lord Wynderbroke is to be married to Grace Maubray? njp.32101067344661 You left all at home well, I hope — chil- dren?"
njp.32101067344661	You mean to ask, hash n't a lady got nothing to do with it?
njp.32101067344661	You really want a word with him?
njp.32101067344661	You remember his face pretty well, I dare say?
njp.32101067344661	You said you had seen him; was this a good likeness? njp.32101067344661 You saw him distinctly, then?"
njp.32101067344661	You saw that face distinctly?
njp.32101067344661	You speak quite frankly, do you? njp.32101067344661 You were not a statuary?"
njp.32101067344661	You'll take something, Dick, wo n't you?
njp.32101067344661	You're quite sure?
njp.32101067344661	You, my dear?
njp.32101067344661	Your cab's rather stuffy and very hot, ai n't it? njp.32101067344661 she said, pettishly, holding the candle high above her head?
njp.32101067344661	'And how far on is it to the next inn?'
njp.32101067344661	'Of what?'
njp.32101067344661	* Morning came, and no answer: what was he to conjecture?
njp.32101067344661	*'Give it back?"
njp.32101067344661	,"A malediction?
njp.32101067344661	,"What's all this about my boot?"
njp.32101067344661	104 CHECK M A T E. One foot in the grave, have I?
njp.32101067344661	125"Do n't you think they'lrtver get tired helpin'you, if you keep pulling alwaysh the wrong way?"
njp.32101067344661	43 WHAT ARE YOU DOING THEKE?'
njp.32101067344661	57 in our sense, like the ghost of Wilhelm in 1 the ballad of Leonora; or is the lover a demon?"
njp.32101067344661	63 signed, he handed them to Mr. Longcluse, with the question,"Will that answer?"
njp.32101067344661	71"Not at home?"
njp.32101067344661	:"Monsieur Lebas, the unfortunate little Frenchman who was murdered here in Lon- don, was, I believe, in your employment?"
njp.32101067344661	After about a minute, he said, in a very low tone:"You do n't think I have a chance?
njp.32101067344661	All the northern property, and this, and Morley?"
njp.32101067344661	Am I consulting revenge or conscience in pursuing this bar- ren inquiry?
njp.32101067344661	And I think you neglect her a lit- tle, do n't you?
njp.32101067344661	And do you mean to tell me that you carry all that money in your coat pocket?"
njp.32101067344661	And does she really care for that young fellow, Darn- ley?"
njp.32101067344661	And have you got a cab to return in?"
njp.32101067344661	And hungry?
njp.32101067344661	And is that miserable quarrel kept up still?"
njp.32101067344661	And now, sir,"he said, in rising fury, turning upon Charles,"what have you got to say for yourself?"
njp.32101067344661	And proud, is he?
njp.32101067344661	And that Mr. Longcluse is dining here to- day?"
njp.32101067344661	And the old business still flourishes?"
njp.32101067344661	And the proudest family on earth — what is left of it?
njp.32101067344661	And then: what then?
njp.32101067344661	And we do n't give eizer wizout being paid, and well paid for them, eh?"
njp.32101067344661	And were she to intercede for him ever so vehemently, how could he tell that she had any chance of pre- vailing?
njp.32101067344661	And what can possi- bly make you take an interest in the char- acter of such a ruffian?"
njp.32101067344661	And what do they say can have been the motive of the murder?"
njp.32101067344661	And what has brought you to London?
njp.32101067344661	And what is the number of your house?"
njp.32101067344661	And what shall the song be?
njp.32101067344661	And what will ye take?"
njp.32101067344661	And who are all these lovers?'"
njp.32101067344661	And who is he?"
njp.32101067344661	And why is it that the fancy has seized me that Mr. Longcluse knows where that villain may be found?
njp.32101067344661	And why on earth, think I, should he make such a fuss and a tragedy about it?
njp.32101067344661	And why?
njp.32101067344661	And why?"
njp.32101067344661	And you beard, I suppose, of poor old Lady Glare?"
njp.32101067344661	And you have really lost fifteen thousand pounds to him?"
njp.32101067344661	And, before people, d you, sir, ca n't we appear affectionate?
njp.32101067344661	Another brandy and water, please, sir?"
njp.32101067344661	Anything more?
njp.32101067344661	Anything particular to say to me?"
njp.32101067344661	Arden?"
njp.32101067344661	Arden?"
njp.32101067344661	Are these your friends, Miss Maubray?"
njp.32101067344661	Are we not in friendly hands?
njp.32101067344661	Are yon tired?"
njp.32101067344661	Are you a collector, Monsieur Arden?"
njp.32101067344661	Are you ill, dear?"
njp.32101067344661	Are you quite sure that my uncle's intentions are still exactly what you mentioned?"
njp.32101067344661	At that time old Tom Clinton — ye'll mind Clinton?"
njp.32101067344661	Blount?"
njp.32101067344661	But Phebe was quick- witted and prompt, and saying:"Well, dear, ai nt I a fool, leaving the lady's door open?
njp.32101067344661	But are you aware of the nature of the crime committed by that man?"
njp.32101067344661	But do you blame the young lady?"
njp.32101067344661	But had he not been himself studiously impertinent to Arden, in that brief colloquy of yesterday?
njp.32101067344661	But he makes his acquaintances rather oddly, does n't he?
njp.32101067344661	But was even that so certain?
njp.32101067344661	But what can a woman do?
njp.32101067344661	But with reflection came the terrifying question,"Has Levi got hold of that in- strument of torture and ruin — the forged signature?"
njp.32101067344661	But, to pass to pleasanter subjects, when do you mean to choose among the young fellows, and present me to a new nephew?"
njp.32101067344661	Ca n't you be certain?
njp.32101067344661	Can I say more?"
njp.32101067344661	Can you believe it?
njp.32101067344661	Can you manage uncle David?"
njp.32101067344661	Con- spiracy?
njp.32101067344661	Could I possess my beloved on those terms?
njp.32101067344661	Could any one have fancied a gentleman descending to so gross a meanness?"
njp.32101067344661	Could he suppose Richard Ar- den so stupid?
njp.32101067344661	Could this be the safe old house in which childish days had passed, in which all around were always friendly and familiar faces?
njp.32101067344661	Could you have imagined any gentleman capable of acting like Lord Wynderbroke — so selfish, cruel, and das- tardly?"
njp.32101067344661	D'ye like it?"
njp.32101067344661	Dare I neglect them, then, in the case of poor loving Harry, my brother?"
njp.32101067344661	David Arden expressed his regret, and then he asked:"You have often seen that man, Yelland Mace?"
njp.32101067344661	David Arden, with his eyes fixed upon him, said, as he was about to pass him:"How d'ye do, Mr. Longcluse?
njp.32101067344661	Dick?
njp.32101067344661	Did any one introduce him?
njp.32101067344661	Did he resem- ble the other mau — the man who was aid- in*?"
njp.32101067344661	Did he take the boot without looking at it, or did he ex- amine it before he took it away?"
njp.32101067344661	Did he tell you he was going to — to?
njp.32101067344661	Did his servant look at him oddly as he gave him th « reins?
njp.32101067344661	Did n't you?"
njp.32101067344661	Did she say she would show you the answer?
njp.32101067344661	Did she try to go out since?"
njp.32101067344661	Did they stand the test of five minutes'inquiry, such even as he had given them?
njp.32101067344661	Did you ever see such a ghost?"
njp.32101067344661	Dislike you?
njp.32101067344661	Do I mistake for the sublime impulse of conscience a vulgar thirst for blood?
njp.32101067344661	Do n't you agree with him?
njp.32101067344661	Do n't you conjecture the subject?"
njp.32101067344661	Do n't you see I have a secret?
njp.32101067344661	Do n't you see?
njp.32101067344661	Do n't you suppose I take all that at its vally?
njp.32101067344661	Do n't you think it would be well to consider first what you have got to live on?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you hap- pen to know what wazh in it?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you hate me for it?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you hear?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you know?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you like my offer?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you prize very highly learning where he is?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you think I'd help in a thing of trie sort, if there was any short of danger?
njp.32101067344661	Do you think me totally without romance?
njp.32101067344661	Do you think there is something odd in his appearance?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you wish me to kneel to you?
njp.32101067344661	Do you wish very much?"
njp.32101067344661	Do you, Mr. Arden, know any- thing, ever so little, of the fate of Yelland Mace?"
njp.32101067344661	Does he repent?
njp.32101067344661	Enemies might affect to believe them, and quote the old saw,"There is never smoke without fire;"but dare one of them utter a word-of the kind aloud?
njp.32101067344661	Fearing to lose his way, he bawled over the balusters, and through the corridors,"Is any one there?"
njp.32101067344661	First tell me, does Miss Arden dislike me — has she an antipathy to me?"
njp.32101067344661	From the other side, her uncle said very softly —"What do you think of my ward, Grace Maubray?"
njp.32101067344661	Good Heaven I what had he done?
njp.32101067344661	Had Mr. Levice, as she called him, forgotten her?
njp.32101067344661	Had any one of all these uttered such a sigh that morning?
njp.32101067344661	Had he found a particle of proof, of evidence, of suspicion?
njp.32101067344661	Had he nerve to do so simple a duty at so stupendous a sacrifice?
njp.32101067344661	Had he not found him good- natured and gentlemanlike?
njp.32101067344661	Had she yielded, what sort of husband would he have made her?
njp.32101067344661	Has any one spoken to you lately, in a way to lead you to suppose that he, or any one else among our friends, has been lending me a helping hand?"
njp.32101067344661	Has he good nature, gratitude, justice, honor?
njp.32101067344661	Has n't a certain baronet something to do with it?"
njp.32101067344661	Has not that little scoundrel committed himself, by an all but actual participation in the affair?
njp.32101067344661	Have I been ill, that my nerve is gone and I such a cursed fool?
njp.32101067344661	Have you anything more to say?"
njp.32101067344661	Have you ever been there?
njp.32101067344661	Have you heard him described?"
njp.32101067344661	Have you the heart to reject your miserable father's petition?
njp.32101067344661	Havel?
njp.32101067344661	He gave you a lift befdre, do n't you remem- ber?
njp.32101067344661	He is in France at present; at Vichy — ai n't it Vichy?"
njp.32101067344661	He viiyht try me, do n't you think?
njp.32101067344661	He's in town, is he?
njp.32101067344661	He's the man, is n't he?"
njp.32101067344661	Her brother — was it a phan- tom?
njp.32101067344661	His brain was already at work What the plague was the meaning of this manoeuvre about his boot?
njp.32101067344661	How can I thank you enough for this kind meeting?
njp.32101067344661	How could he better pass the interval than in Miss'Arden's company?
njp.32101067344661	How could he tell what view she might take of the matter?
njp.32101067344661	How could that be?
njp.32101067344661	How did he come to know your brother, for instance?
njp.32101067344661	How do you think Sir Regi- nald would receive me?
njp.32101067344661	How long ago?"
njp.32101067344661	How long is it since we met last?
njp.32101067344661	How long shall I allow you to guess what it is?"
njp.32101067344661	How many have you made me, and broken?
njp.32101067344661	How was he dressed?"
njp.32101067344661	How was she affected toward Mr. Longcluse?
njp.32101067344661	How was that?
njp.32101067344661	How were they taken?
njp.32101067344661	How would you like that?"
njp.32101067344661	How, then, did David Arden, who hated a swindler, answer the old extortioner who asked Itim,"Do you like my offer?"
njp.32101067344661	Howsomever, a cove may shave, and no harm done; or his hair may grow a bit, and how can he help it?
njp.32101067344661	I have been a good friend to you on many occasions; you have been a false one to nie — who baser?
njp.32101067344661	I have got it in my breast- pocket; perhaps you would wish me now to take it bout?"
njp.32101067344661	I have had two threatening letters; would you mind glancing at them?
njp.32101067344661	I have not seen him, now, for how many years?
njp.32101067344661	I look as if I was going to be hanged — or is it the color of that glass?
njp.32101067344661	I need not care; but suppose I make my will now; that's a good will, ai n't it, be- tween this and judgment, if things should go wrong?"
njp.32101067344661	I shall see her, and how will it all be?
njp.32101067344661	I should like to know, are the chances two to one against me?"
njp.32101067344661	I suppose her parents highly disapproved of the goblin: was n't that alone an excellent reason for going away with him?"
njp.32101067344661	I suppose you admit that?
njp.32101067344661	I suppose you heard the news?"
njp.32101067344661	I suppose you thought I was in Vienna?"
njp.32101067344661	I takes five shillins in the pound, and not a pig under; and that puts you and I in the same boat, d'ye see?
njp.32101067344661	I think I may as well let you see it; but you will promise — you have promised — not to tell any one?"
njp.32101067344661	I think that she a little ad- mired this handsome and rather clever young man, and who can tell what such a fancy may grow to?
njp.32101067344661	I wonder whether such demons ever enter into human beings, and, in the shape of living men, haunt, plague, and ruin their predestinated victims?"
njp.32101067344661	I wonder — eh?
njp.32101067344661	I'll go there; and will you give me a glass of sherry?"
njp.32101067344661	I'm not cruel?
njp.32101067344661	Ich bin Mug und weise — you sing zat song?
njp.32101067344661	If men are prone to tense themselves with imaginations, they are equally disposed to comfort themselves with the same shadowy influences.'?
njp.32101067344661	Information?
njp.32101067344661	Is all well with him?'
njp.32101067344661	Is he living?"
njp.32101067344661	Is he to dine here, do you know?"
njp.32101067344661	Is it come to this?
njp.32101067344661	Is it to be a separation?"'
njp.32101067344661	Is my brother in the drawing- room?"
njp.32101067344661	Is n't that Bor- rowdale?"
njp.32101067344661	Is n't that what you mean?
njp.32101067344661	Is not a little time gained, everything?
njp.32101067344661	Is not that.false heraldry?
njp.32101067344661	Is that all?
njp.32101067344661	Is that gentleman he whom I saw talking to Miss Arden in the music- room, I wonder?
njp.32101067344661	Is that true?"
njp.32101067344661	Is this the witches'Sabbath of our pale Mephistopheles — his night of goblins?
njp.32101067344661	Ish my Lady Mount- garret ash proud ash ever?"
njp.32101067344661	It has the merit of being very uncommon, at least, do n't you think?"
njp.32101067344661	It is just?
njp.32101067344661	It is so very kind of you l And now, Lady May, is n't it your turn to choose?
njp.32101067344661	It was a very strange occurrence; and was not Mr. Longcluse's manner, also, strange?
njp.32101067344661	It was bright moonlight, and savs I,'Dick, how is Master Harry?
njp.32101067344661	It was to him a repulsive visit; but how could he postpone it?
njp.32101067344661	It's a great up- set to her •'Yes, poor thing, Mr. Paller been here_ to""The undertaker?
njp.32101067344661	Italy?"
njp.32101067344661	Izh it a bit too soon?"

njp.32101067344661	Levi?"
njp.32101067344661	Longcluse bolted his door, unlocked his desk, and there what do we see?
njp.32101067344661	Longcluse smiled and shrugged, looking at Mr. Arden, and he said to the man —"So you do n't know that gentleman's name, nor mine?"
njp.32101067344661	Longcluse?"
njp.32101067344661	Longcluse?"
njp.32101067344661	Longcluse?"
njp.32101067344661	Longcluse?"
njp.32101067344661	Martha?
njp.32101067344661	Master David, do you know what ye're sayin'?"
njp.32101067344661	Master David?
njp.32101067344661	Might I ask one more favor, that you will endorse on each of these threatening letters a memoran- dum of the facts of this strange interview?
njp.32101067344661	Mixed with his hatred, did there remain a fraction of love?
njp.32101067344661	Now do n't you see how odious I should appear, and how impossible it is?"
njp.32101067344661	Now, sir, do you remember a promise you t*ien made me?
njp.32101067344661	Now, what in- formation can the Baron Vanboeren give to Monsieur David Arden?"
njp.32101067344661	On the other hand, in certain states, is there a pain intenser than that of listening to the praises of another man from the lips we love?
njp.32101067344661	Only do you happen to know of peo- ple — bankers or something — called Chil- ders and Ballard?"
njp.32101067344661	Or did any one among them feel wearier of life?
njp.32101067344661	Paris?
njp.32101067344661	Pay him?
njp.32101067344661	People make money a little faster, that is true; but what is the good of money, if their lives are not their own?
njp.32101067344661	Perhaps he'd think me as great an ass as I think you — who knows?
njp.32101067344661	Proud of her he might be, but what else has he to boast of?
njp.32101067344661	Really?
njp.32101067344661	Really?
njp.32101067344661	Really?"
njp.32101067344661	See you that man there, monsieur?
njp.32101067344661	Shall I ever close my eyes again?"
njp.32101067344661	Shall I tell him to come here?"
njp.32101067344661	She does not care about any one in particular, I sup- pose?"
njp.32101067344661	She had her footman behind her — did n't she tell you all about it?"
njp.32101067344661	She is so like the picture of La Esmeralda; did n't you think so?"
njp.32101067344661	Should he employ Lady May's intervention, and tell her the whole story?
njp.32101067344661	So I think we may assume that the course of true love, for once, runs smooth — do n't you?"
njp.32101067344661	So ye'll ask me any question ye like, and I'll make the best answer I can; only, Master David, ye'll not be o'er long about it?"
njp.32101067344661	Sold her diamonds?
njp.32101067344661	Something very like it, and one that includes myself, does n't it?
njp.32101067344661	Something within him once or twice commanded him to throw his crime into the fire while yet it is obliter- able.^ But what then?
njp.32101067344661	The Sheneral's come to town, is he?
njp.32101067344661	Ther^ are some people called Tramways: ke'sfl baronet — a^-very'nw orfef Do you know anything of them?
njp.32101067344661	There was a tremble in the voice with which she cried,"Lord, what's that?"
njp.32101067344661	They had spoken and passed like ships at sea, in this wide life, and now who could count the miles and billows between them?
njp.32101067344661	Too late, eh?
njp.32101067344661	Twyford, the Royal Oak?
njp.32101067344661	Uncle David did not care to discuss this point in ethics, but simply said:"And Mr. Longcluse was also a patient of yours?"
njp.32101067344661	Uncle David?
njp.32101067344661	Vandeleur looked in his face, with his cigar in his fingers, and said, in a faint and hollow tone:"Well?"
njp.32101067344661	Vivian Darnley, is there any- thing in that either?
njp.32101067344661	Was Mr. Longcluse also a very little em- barrassed as he descanted thus on light and color?
njp.32101067344661	Was Sir Richard now seconding his scheme?
njp.32101067344661	Was a man like that to be dismissed with- out inquiry?
njp.32101067344661	Was ever old housekeeper so pestered by nightly tappings at her window- pane?
njp.32101067344661	Was he going to walk out to Mortlake and shoot himself on the steps?
njp.32101067344661	Was he looking at an image that came out in the dark on the retina of memory 1 Or was he shedding tears?
njp.32101067344661	Was he not rich enough — too rich?
njp.32101067344661	Was he not, some- how, very oddly cool under a charge of murder?
njp.32101067344661	Was it a dream?
njp.32101067344661	Was it a good or an ill sign his being so late?
njp.32101067344661	Was it fancy, or was there in his recep- tion something a little unusual, and ominous of exclusion?
njp.32101067344661	Was it possible, after all, that he was about to see that which would corroborate his first vague suspicions?
njp.32101067344661	Was it quite so motherly as years might warrant?
njp.32101067344661	Was my uncle David here?"
njp.32101067344661	Was n't I'maist killed myself, for sake o'him, that night?"
njp.32101067344661	Was n't that Napoleon's say- ins?
njp.32101067344661	Was no news good news, or would the morning bring, perhaps from Richard Arden, a with- ering answer?
njp.32101067344661	Was not this the very man whom he had seen for a moment on board the steamer, as he crossed?
njp.32101067344661	Was the inter- ruption he had persisted in designed, or only accidental?
njp.32101067344661	Was there a faint and unconscious menace in his pale face, as he uttered these words, which a little stirred Arden's pride?
njp.32101067344661	Was there really a little heightening of that beautiful tint as she smiled?
njp.32101067344661	Was this man, from whom he had felt an indescribable repulsion, now by his side, and drawing him, in this solitude, into a mysterious confidence?
njp.32101067344661	Was this the"old party"for whom Mr. Levi was acting?
njp.32101067344661	Well, a glass o'curacoa?
njp.32101067344661	What about Lady May Penrose?
njp.32101067344661	What about my money?
njp.32101067344661	What about that opera- girl?
njp.32101067344661	What about those stories that circulated among Jews and croupiers?
njp.32101067344661	What are you afraid of?'
njp.32101067344661	What can you do for me that I ca n't do as well for myself?"
njp.32101067344661	What did he say?"
njp.32101067344661	What do you mean to do?"
njp.32101067344661	What do you say, Grace?
njp.32101067344661	What do you say?
njp.32101067344661	What do you say?"
njp.32101067344661	What do you suppose his object to be — to extort money?"
njp.32101067344661	What do you think of him?"
njp.32101067344661	What do you think, Martha?"
njp.32101067344661	What do you think, Thomas?"
njp.32101067344661	What does May Penrose think of it?
njp.32101067344661	What door were they waiting at?
njp.32101067344661	What earthly reason, led me into that d d dark room, when I heard the fuss there?
njp.32101067344661	What gives to those sweet tones a latent discord, that creeps so coldly through my nerves?"
njp.32101067344661	What had become of Sir Richard Arden's resolutions?
njp.32101067344661	What has become of the title, by- the- by?
njp.32101067344661	What has frightened you?"
njp.32101067344661	What is Lady May talking about?
njp.32101067344661	What is all bitterness but pain 1 Is any mind that deserves the name ever cruel, ex- cept from misery?
njp.32101067344661	What is it in that passion that sounds insincere?
njp.32101067344661	What is it that deprives me of quiet till a clue be found to the discovery of Yelland Mace?
njp.32101067344661	What is it to mine?
njp.32101067344661	What is it — any dispute about the score?
njp.32101067344661	What is my answer?
njp.32101067344661	What is the matter?"
njp.32101067344661	What is the place?
njp.32101067344661	What is to become of you, Alice, if things go wrong with me?
njp.32101067344661	What kind of man is he?"
njp.32101067344661	What man had ever escaped stories who was worth forging a lie about?
njp.32101067344661	What of to- mor- row?
njp.32101067344661	What on earth is all this about, my dear?

njp.32101067344661	What plea have you to oifer to my mercy?"
njp.32101067344661	What sort of figure?"
njp.32101067344661	What was the exact nature of the interest which good Lady May undoubtedly took in Richard Arden?
njp.32101067344661	What wazh it lasht night?

njp.32101067344661	What's your name?"
njp.32101067344661	When Tom came to the door, having dressed in haste, I said,'Tom, which way will Master Harry return?

njp.32101067344661	Will you tell her to set her mind art ease?
njp.32101067344661	With whom shall I leave you, Miss Arden?"
njp.32101067344661	Wo n't you come up to the drawing- room, uncle David?"

njp.32101067344661	Yes — you see those two doors at oppo- site sides in the wall, at the far end of the room?
njp.32101067344661	You are an Austrian,'I said,'a native subject of the empire?'
njp.32101067344661	You begin to perceive?"
njp.32101067344661	You dare not show to Mr. Longcluse, and you know he's in a Wax; and who can you send to him?

njp.32101067344661	You have seen it?"
njp.32101067344661	You have, before I ask it, I assume, implicit confidence in us; am I right?"

njp.32101067344661	and give an information, sir?"
njp.32101067344661	and had not this confidence an unaccountable though distant relation to the vague suspi- cions that had touched his nfind?
njp.32101067344661	and have you kept your word"?"
njp.32101067344661	and less than beloved, can I ever be happy?
njp.32101067344661	and that he has had the excellent good sense and taste to read this list to his acquaintances?"
njp.32101067344661	and where is he?"
njp.32101067344661	and who is the lady?"
njp.32101067344661	asked the lit- tle Jew, advancing to meet her;"how'sh her grashe the duchess, in the top o'the houshe?

njp.32101067344661	my dear friend, have n't you a breast- pocket?
njp.32101067344661	never known a razor, an unsubstantial por- trait hung in the dim air, or his living son?
njp.32101067344661	not a slice of an estate?
njp.32101067344661	one of Lady May Penrose's party to the Derby to- morrow?"
njp.32101067344661	or was it de- fiance, or derision?
njp.32101067344661	or, if he did not, who's the better?"
njp.32101067344661	really?
njp.32101067344661	said Alice, amazed;"then how am I to tell you what I wish about anything?"
njp.32101067344661	sir, are you serious?"
njp.32101067344661	there never was five such""Go, this moment, please; I insist on your going; do you hear me, pray?"

njp.32101067344661	what day?"
njp.32101067344661	what does such language mean but suffering?
njp.32101067344661	what is this?
njp.32101067344661	what's crossed Sir Reginald?"

njp.32101067344661	who had lost nearly seven hundred pounds at Colonel Marston's little gathering, though he had not paid them yet, now quite desperate?
njp.32101067344661	who's the worse of his going back?

njp.32101067344661	~"Well, what is it?"
njp.32101067344661	— a pair of men boxing in the passage?

nyp.33433075759047	A man is only half equipped who has no imagination. ” “ Do you mean, ” I asked, “ that I have dreamt all this? ” “ Not all of it.
nyp.33433075759047	Am I?

nyp.33433075759047	Are you going to see her again to- night? ” “ Yes, ” I replied.
nyp.33433075759047	Are you sure that he did not ask you to come into the cremating chamber? ” “ No, I am not sure, ” I replied, after reflection.
nyp.33433075759047	But for what imaginable reason could he have set off immedi- ately to the Highlands of Scotland?
nyp.33433075759047	But how would that help us?
nyp.33433075759047	But to- night I have come for a purpose. ”- “ About Billy's affairs? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	But why the Great Northern Hotel?
nyp.33433075759047	But why this universal fear of the dead?
nyp.33433075759047	Ca n't you resuscitate anything else?
nyp.33433075759047	Can you get used to the idea, do you think, gradually? ” She sprang up to a sitting posture and threw aside the eider- down.
nyp.33433075759047	Could we get up a syndicate to put a screen round it and charge for a view of it by the minute, like a trunk call on the telephone?
nyp.33433075759047	Did he mention any figure? ” “ No, but he'll leave you a margin.
nyp.33433075759047	Did that mean that you are thinking of going out to Byfleet to- night? ” “ Your penetration is uncanny, Reece, ” he an- swered.
nyp.33433075759047	Did they get on well? ” “ Splendidly.
nyp.33433075759047	Did you ever see me do a two- step? ” He proceeded to scrape and shuffle about the floor, humming a tune.

nyp.33433075759047	Have you killed the fatted calf? ” He took a step or two towards her.
nyp.33433075759047	Have you no recollection, for instance, of climbing down a balcony? ” “ None whatever, ” he replied.
nyp.33433075759047	How are the roses?
nyp.33433075759047	How could the man whom I had seen dead, whom I had seen cremated, be sitting oppo- site me, talking, joking?

nyp.33433075759047	I can eat anything now. ” “ You do n’t believe me? ” “ I have never been noted, ” he said, “ so far as I know, for undue credulity.
nyp.33433075759047	I used to sleep quite well, except when Rachel kicked. ” “ Insomnia? ” I said.

nyp.33433075759047	It's nothing. ” “ But you meant specially and recently famil- iar? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	Noth- ing?
nyp.33433075759047	Now, just take those bags up to my room, will you?
nyp.33433075759047	Now, why did he give me that name? ” I still made no immediate reply.
nyp.33433075759047	Or had he been cremated and not reappeared?
nyp.33433075759047	Perhaps he had himself weighed?
nyp.33433075759047	Perhaps he was sur- prised to find that he was only sixteen stone? ” He glanced at his own spare figure with a certain air of dry humor.
nyp.33433075759047	Probably the police have a list of convic- tions. ” “ Then how do you get over the newspaper cutting? ” “ That's genuine, very likely.
nyp.33433075759047	Reece, what can it, can it possibly mean? ” My utter helplessness numbed me.
nyp.33433075759047	She also thinks the body was cre- mated. ” “ Because you told her so: she did not see it. ” “ But the ashes? ” I insisted.
nyp.33433075759047	She was devoted to him. ” “ Where does she live? ” Mrs. Stuart asked, after a pause.
nyp.33433075759047	Should we discover truths which would unfit us for the practical, steady conduct of the affairs of the world?
nyp.33433075759047	So did you, I think? ” “ Yes, ” I said.
nyp.33433075759047	Sup- posing I'm making a mistake?
nyp.33433075759047	Suppos- ing I'm only imagining that I live here and have a wife with little brown curls in front of her ears?
nyp.33433075759047	Supposing it's somebody else?
nyp.33433075759047	THE BROCKLEBANK RIDDLE of wearing apparel belonging to a man whose acquaintance I have yet to make? ” We made no reply and a short silence followed.
nyp.33433075759047	That is why he is now staying at a hotel. ” “ And were they good friends before?
nyp.33433075759047	That's the simple truth. ” “ Comap Trance? ” I let it go at that, though I knew it could not satisfy him when he came to closer reflection.
nyp.33433075759047	The market's rising pretty fast: it's up a full point this morning. ” “ Did the clerks say anything to you when you came in? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	Was I to learn, when he spoke again, the answer to the great riddle?
nyp.33433075759047	Was he about to lift the veil that 52 THE IMPOSSIBLE FACT had never been lifted or penetrated by man?
nyp.33433075759047	Was it possible that it was not Brocklebank at all, that I had been the victim of a gross impersonation?
nyp.33433075759047	Was it solved against himself through the agency of Brocklebank — Brocklebank the materialist?
nyp.33433075759047	Was the individual being, as a separable entity, surviving death, a proven fact?
nyp.33433075759047	Was the question which, for time beyond reckoning, had divided thinkers and feelers, reason and instinct, here solved?
nyp.33433075759047	Well, what would be the attitude of such a man in such circumstances?
nyp.33433075759047	What day will suit you? ” “ Suit me/ It has nothing to do with me. ” “ On the contrary, ” said Brocklebank, “ I ca n't see her in a hotel.
nyp.33433075759047	What did you give?
nyp.33433075759047	What did you recognize? ” I reflected for a few moments.
nyp.33433075759047	What had become of the people who had deposited me?
nyp.33433075759047	What happened? ” “ We got nearly to the top — at least I think we were not very far from the top — when Billy broke down.
nyp.33433075759047	What happens then? ” “ That's the end of you.
nyp.33433075759047	What name, please? ” “ Reece. ” There was a further interval of waiting.
nyp.33433075759047	What remained that could make the existing position intelligible?
nyp.33433075759047	What remains?
nyp.33433075759047	What was I to do?
nyp.33433075759047	What was I to say?
nyp.33433075759047	What will you have with it — soda or water? ” We were left alone.
nyp.33433075759047	What will you have?
nyp.33433075759047	What would be the effect, supposing it were removed?
nyp.33433075759047	Where have you been this afternoon, for instance?
nyp.33433075759047	Where is the brain?
nyp.33433075759047	Where was Rachel?
nyp.33433075759047	Where was the coffin lying?
nyp.33433075759047	Where were you?
nyp.33433075759047	Whether you'll tell the truth or not? ” He had come, as he generally did, in such quick, half humorous hits, very close to the fact.
nyp.33433075759047	Who could be ex- pected to sleep with a ghost?
nyp.33433075759047	Who runs this mountain?
nyp.33433075759047	Why did his unknown correspondent doubt his existence?
nyp.33433075759047	Why not speak the truth? ” “ Yes, we did hear that, ” the man admitted.
nyp.33433075759047	Why, if she knew of him at all, did she doubt that he was alive?
nyp.33433075759047	Will you be patient? ” “ I shall have no need of patience, ” I replied.
nyp.33433075759047	Will you come to my hotel? ” “ Yes, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075759047	Will you give me some dinner first?
nyp.33433075759047	Will you see if you can get on now? ” There was a telephone in the room.
nyp.33433075759047	Worried, scared? ” “ Yes — somehow. ” “ At any rate, you're a fact, ” I said suddenly, half smiling.
nyp.33433075759047	Would it be sur- prising, when those considerations are kept in view, if your mind had failed to take an accurate impression of what you saw?
nyp.33433075759047	You are not sure of that? ” He looked at me keenly.
nyp.33433075759047	You do n't mind now, do you, now it is light? ” “ Not so much, ” she replied.
nyp.33433075759047	You see the danger?
nyp.33433075759047	You're looking 99 “ What?
nyp.33433075759047	“ A fact?
nyp.33433075759047	“ A woman of her evident discernment naturally would. ” “ What night will suit you?
nyp.33433075759047	“ And how long would the condition last?
nyp.33433075759047	“ And what did I do just now when I examined you? ” I told him.
nyp.33433075759047	“ And when we die?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Are you afraid? ” I whispered to her.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Are you betting? ” “ Obviously not, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Are you offering that as a solution? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Are you perfectly happy?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Because we were afraid. ” “ What were you afraid of? ” “ You. ” He poured out two cups of coffee.
nyp.33433075759047	“ But ca n't you see the horror of it? ” she cried out.
nyp.33433075759047	“ But why?
nyp.33433075759047	“ But you ca n't read a hand as quickly as that? ” he said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Ca n't you understand what it is to me to see the face I have loved laughing in that alien way?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Can I rely upon your help, Mr. Reece? ” she asked again.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Can I rely upon your help, ” she asked, “ if I need it? ” “ In what way? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Can I rely upon your help, ” she asked, “ if I need it? ” “ In what way? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Can you explain?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Can you un- derstand what that means? ” she went on quickly.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Did you hear me, Mr. Reece? ” she asked, still looking at me, when perhaps a minute had passed in silence.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Did your husband play golf? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do I really look to you to be well enough to get up?'
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do I strike you as behaving normally? ” I asked my companion suddenly, when we had returned to the drawing- room.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do n’t read that leading article, ” he said: “ it ’s poisonous. ” “ Have you read it? ” “ No. ” He went to the breakfast table.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do n’t you think she could manage it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do you feel better? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do you follow me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do you know anything about it? ” “ Anything about it! ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do you mind saying that again? ’ “ ‘ You are in the Great Northern Hotel, London, ’ she said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do you mind telling Brocklebank that I have I56 THE NIGHTMARE ON THE LINKS to pay for my caddie? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Do you think the weather is going to hold up? ”- Brocklebank had come in behind me.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Does it seem so inconceivable? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Does she seem to move all right? ” asked Brocklebank.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Has she any more specifics of the same kind?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Has she been doing this long? ” Brocklebank asked him.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Have you ever been cremated, Marriot? ” he called out across the room to a man of ample contour.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Have you ever been to the Wiertz Museum in Brussels? ” I asked, irrelevantly.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Having extricated himself, ” Dr. Hegiras pro- ceeded, “ what can we suppose he did?
nyp.33433075759047	“ How can I be sure of it, when my senses ap- pear to tell me to the contrary? ” “ ‘ Appear'to tell you.
nyp.33433075759047	“ How can I?
nyp.33433075759047	“ How can I? ” she cried.
nyp.33433075759047	“ How did you get on at Byfleet?
nyp.33433075759047	“ How does the match stand? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ How's the garden?
nyp.33433075759047	“ I assume it refers to a relative of yours? ” I said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ I keep getting a glimmering, ” she said, at last, “ but no more as yet. ” “ How does his wife accept him? ” she asked next.
nyp.33433075759047	“ I suppose it would cost us ten or twelve pounds each. ” “ How do you make that out? ” “ The guides and the bill at the hut.
nyp.33433075759047	“ In the drawing- room. ” “ Why?"
nyp.33433075759047	“ In the meantime, ” he insisted, “ Brocklebank'—you were saying? ” I had a sense of helplessness before his vivid, forceful personality.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Is Mr. Brocklebank in the hotel? ” “ I ’ll see, sir.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Is that the Great Northern Hotel? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Is that the size you are wearing now? ”.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Is the fire too much for you?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Is — is that Brocklebank? ” he asked, in a queer hushed voice.
nyp.33433075759047	“ It came to me all of a sudden. ” “ Remembered what? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ It's not a bit of good trying to deceive you. ”- “ You are going? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Lum- bago, did you say? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ My surname? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ No, you would n't speak of a child of sixteen as ‘ it ’: you would say “ he ” or'she. ” A distance perhaps?
nyp.33433075759047	“ No, ” she answered; “ no, not that. ” “ Well, you think I have been suffering from hallucinations to- day? ” “ Yes, ” she said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ No. ” “ You believe it? ” I asked in amazement.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Not going, Lightbody? ” he said reproachfully, as the last man moved to the door.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Or did you think I should n't be able to resist a Picture Palace?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Say I wo n't be a minute. ” “ Brocklebank? ” he said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Surely Father Christmas is n't beyond a Theosophist? ” he suggested, smiling broadly.
nyp.33433075759047	“ That place full of mad pictures?
nyp.33433075759047	“ The snow looks soft, does n't it? ” he said, “ like great pillows.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Then what is to be done? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Was I very bad last night?'
nyp.33433075759047	“ Was n't it a happy thought to make you laugh? ” “ Why really? ” “ To see if I should wake up, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Was n't it a happy thought to make you laugh? ” “ Why really? ” “ To see if I should wake up, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Wef, tell me how things have gone on? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Well, ” I asked, at the end, “ what do you make of it? ” “ Just what I made of it before, ” he replied.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Were there any printed labels on the bag, ” I asked, “ as well as the written one? ” “ Not a sign of one.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What about this letter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What are they doing? ” asked Mrs. Brockle- bank.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What could be only sixteen? ” “ A child? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What could be only sixteen? ” “ A child? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What could that have meant? ” Brocklebank passed the open door of the room, calling in that he was going to dress for dinner.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What did you bring me? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What did you do yesterday? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What did you think? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What do you make of it, Brocklebank? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What do you see in this room? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What do you suppose? ” “ Well, you must have stolen them. ” “ That worries me a good deal, ” he said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What do you think of Theosophy? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What does he mean? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What does it mean? ” she cried.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What happened then? ” “ I saw white all about me when I came round, ” he answered, “ and I thought I was still on the snow.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What on earth is the matter? ” he called out.
nyp.33433075759047	“ What, then? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ When did all this happen? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ When do you think that this happened to me? ” “ As to that, ” he replied, “ I can offer only the roughest guess.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Where did you two pass the night? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Where is he? ” I nodded towards the car.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Where is the telephone? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Who was it you were playing with this morn- ing, Reece? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Why did you want me to do it? ” she asked again.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Why do n't you keep this book properly in- dexed? ” he said to the young man, when he appeared.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Why not? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Why should you be bothered any more with my affairs? ” “ It's my affair too, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Why?
nyp.33433075759047	“ Will you promise never to leave me alone with him, never for a moment? ” “ So far as it rests with me, ” I answered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Will you read that? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Without discredit. ” “ So may I take it that you give me a clean bill of health? ” “ You are all right, ” he said, kindly.
nyp.33433075759047	“ Wo n't you stay here and wait for me? ” I said to her.
nyp.33433075759047	“ You are incredulous? ” I said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ You are not going to say you do n't believe in him? ” She turned to me.
nyp.33433075759047	“ You ca n’t talk to him? ” She shuddered.
nyp.33433075759047	“ You can hypnotize? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ You do n't believe it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075759047	“ You think I am mad? ” I said.
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ A little tired, ’ he replied, “ but we saw no reason to refuse you a room. ’ “ ‘ What name did I register?'
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ Brocklebank'—you were saying? ” he sug- gested, with an expression of detached interest on his face, handling his glasses.
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ I ’m sorry to be a nuisance, ” I said to the 57 THE BROCKLEBANK RIDDLE chambermaid, “ but would you mind telling me where I am?"
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ It must seem a curious question to you,'I said to him, “ but would you kindly tell me how long I have been staying in the hotel?'
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ Night or morning?'
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ Quite sober?'
nyp.33433075759047	“ ‘ What name did you say, sir?'
nyp.33433074854823	* Darneau?

nyp.33433074854823	*- Had Kendon a finger in the pie, to the extent of being responsible for Meryl Sewell ’s disappearance?
nyp.33433074854823	- But why the journey at such an hour, and to where did it lead?
nyp.33433074854823	- Who else could fit into his theory concerning the kid- napping as well as Marsden?
nyp.33433074854823	- Who else?
nyp.33433074854823	- “ One spoke of her, do n’t you remember I told you?
nyp.33433074854823	- “ Who were they? ” Frank suddenly put in, speak- ing for the first time since they had started.

nyp.33433074854823	44 MERYL “ But where am I? ” Kendon insisted, as he sank back on to the box.
nyp.33433074854823	55 “ And now, sir “ Is there a safe here anywhere? ” “ Mr.

nyp.33433074854823	And he came for me himself? ” The dark eyes brightened.
nyp.33433074854823	And why not?
nyp.33433074854823	And you know of Kendon's being held on the mountain side three days, until rescued by Mr. Her- nald? ” “ Of course I do.
nyp.33433074854823	Are you ready for a very tame story? ” And then he told her the fabrication he had woven the night before in the darkness.
nyp.33433074854823	As far as that? ” A low whistle of per- plexity escaped him.
nyp.33433074854823	As his heart leaped at the thought, it chilled almost as quickly, for why should she care aught for him?
nyp.33433074854823	As your uncle ’s attorney, he felt 308 WHO AM I?

nyp.33433074854823	But why had n’t Smart, or Kerveil, warned him?
nyp.33433074854823	But why needlessly excite her?
nyp.33433074854823	By the way, have you lost a brown glove? ” “ A brown glove?
nyp.33433074854823	By the way, have you lost a brown glove? ” “ A brown glove?
nyp.33433074854823	By the way, were you on the other side of the house a while back? ” “ On the other side of here? ” hesitating.
nyp.33433074854823	By the way, were you on the other side of the house a while back? ” “ On the other side of here? ” hesitating.
nyp.33433074854823	Can I tell her what a lucky girl she is? ” But Bob fell silent of a sudden and a troubled look crept into his eyes.
nyp.33433074854823	Can you wait?
nyp.33433074854823	Carried off? ” And the eyes looked troubled as they fastened on his companion's face.
nyp.33433074854823	Come at once. ’ ” “ Also Meryl! ” “ Also who? ” Marsden exploded.
nyp.33433074854823	Could it be possible the man did know where his niece could be found?
nyp.33433074854823	Could it be the servant had gone some other way?
nyp.33433074854823	Could it possibly be Gale Sewell himself?
nyp.33433074854823	Could such a girl be moulded to the tune of lazy waltzes and low- voiced questions of secluded corners?
nyp.33433074854823	Could you help me out? ” “ I reckon, ” came the slow answer.
nyp.33433074854823	Did n’t he know what had been done? ” “ He only knew that Joseph Sewell had refused even to see the baby.
nyp.33433074854823	Did n’t someone see that? ” “ Locked up in my safe!
nyp.33433074854823	Did that letter tell of this package, and had someone read it?
nyp.33433074854823	Did the servant at the start interpret that to mean they had found out his plan of bringing back a substitute?
nyp.33433074854823	Did you stop at Wilderness Lodge? ” “ Oh, no.
nyp.33433074854823	Do n’t speak of his trip or of your staying with Mrs.--what ’s her name? ”.
nyp.33433074854823	Do n’t you think they counted perhaps on Kendon saying nothing of the legacy, at least, not for a few weeks, after he found it was gone?
nyp.33433074854823	Do you hear me? ” High pitched again came the demand: “ Do you hear?
nyp.33433074854823	Do you hear me? ” High pitched again came the demand: “ Do you hear?
nyp.33433074854823	Do you hear me? ” The man stood sullen, hesi- tating.
nyp.33433074854823	Do you understand? ” he added, as he saw he must give Kendon some explanation to bring him to his senses.
nyp.33433074854823	Does n’t she think a good deal of the man that rescued her from Wolfboro and fought for her on the mountains?
nyp.33433074854823	Even Mr. Marsden advocates caution in the search for her. ” “ And do n’t you agree with him? ” Kendon de- manded.
nyp.33433074854823	Every new trick seems to come from your hand. ” “ When does Jack leave? ” “ I cabled him two days ago.
nyp.33433074854823	Follow the brook, to be sure, down the hill with its dancing, babbling waters — to — — —?
nyp.33433074854823	GALE SEWELL 89 “ Gone Where? ” “ To carry him off, I suppose. ” And Kendon turned as if to move away.
nyp.33433074854823	Go ahead, Bill! ” “ And can you, ” Bob suggested, turning again to the spokesman of the two, “ help me get my friend down through the woods?
nyp.33433074854823	Had Smart gone there, and while there dropped the glove; then later, missing it, returned to look for it, fearing it might be found?
nyp.33433074854823	Had he taken possession of her?
nyp.33433074854823	Had she heard his instructions to Hemming?
nyp.33433074854823	Had that been a slip of the tongue, said to satisfy him, 206 MERYL but really a confession of the old servant ’s connection with the affair?
nyp.33433074854823	Had the one who wanted to see Mr. Smart “ at once ” been someone at Wilderness Lodge?
nyp.33433074854823	Have I wronged you, sir?
nyp.33433074854823	Have you got to go away? ” “ No. ” He shook his head slowly, as his hand fell softly on the arched neck of his horse.
nyp.33433074854823	He hesitated to speak, and yet, why was Gale Sewell about, when he had been re- ported so ill and in bed?
nyp.33433074854823	He left you here, and so, of course, he ’ll come back here to find you. ” “ But where can he be? ” she questioned falteringly.
nyp.33433074854823	He seemed positive they would not try to carry off Meryl Sewell; then why their presence?
nyp.33433074854823	He should be here in a week. ” “ But will there be any need of him, that is, for this thing? ” Bob suggested.
nyp.33433074854823	He simply asked to see Mr. Hernald. ” “ But is he able, Bashton? ” “ He is stronger this morning.
nyp.33433074854823	He was responsible for her to a certain extent, for she had last been in his care and now — where was she?
nyp.33433074854823	He ’s been looking everywhere for Mr. Sewell. ” “ I should have thought he would. ” “ But I was afraid 39* Afraid?"
nyp.33433074854823	He's gone, too! ” “ He Who?
nyp.33433074854823	Her mother?
nyp.33433074854823	Here? ” “ Yes, and Mr. Sewell is badly used up.
nyp.33433074854823	How could anyone?
nyp.33433074854823	How could you? ” Bob listened in a dazed way, really without hearing the lawyer's words at all.
nyp.33433074854823	How else explain the glove he had found?
nyp.33433074854823	How far is it? ” “ Sit down, ” Bob ordered suddenly.
nyp.33433074854823	How far? ” The eyes scanned the nar- row clearing and then sought the face of his questioner again.
nyp.33433074854823	I agree, ” the other broke in, “ but why discuss it?
nyp.33433074854823	I can catch him in New York when he lands, Thursday. ” “ And sail Saturday? ” Bob questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	I did n’t want to alarm her. ” “ No- and the story as she knows it?
nyp.33433074854823	I must get to Wilderness Lodge as quickly as I can. ” “ Can you walk? ” Bob demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	I only thought 99 they might come bac “ For what? ” Bob demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	I really thought they were safe. ” “ But suppose you never had found Miss Sewell? ” “ I had n’t thought of that — I just kept them.
nyp.33433074854823	I shall be awfully stupid I know at times, but will you be my instructor? ” He caught his breath.
nyp.33433074854823	I thought you said you told him it was only down the road a bit? ” “ The other man told me that. ” “ The other man! ” he turned in his seat.
nyp.33433074854823	I went up there after the men myself. ” “ But did n’t find them? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074854823	I ’ll be down with him in a minute. ” “ Will he go? ” Hemming demanded in surprise.
nyp.33433074854823	I ’m really afloat. ” “ Who told you your uncle was away? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433074854823	I?
nyp.33433074854823	If he was in his right mind now 33 “ Is n’t he?"
nyp.33433074854823	If she is not his niece, but an innocent cat’s- paw, would n’t she want to know it?
nyp.33433074854823	If we had a piece of rope we could tie some boughs together and carry him that way. ” “ Ca n’t he walk?"
nyp.33433074854823	If we wait to consult him, it will be too late to do anything. ” “ Can he object to our going ahead? ” “ Er — no — oh, I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074854823	In fine, why puzzle over something so nearly solved?
nyp.33433074854823	In that direction lay their way, but how to travel it?
nyp.33433074854823	Is Miss Sewell at the farmhouse? ” The question had a startling effect.
nyp.33433074854823	Is it foolish — should I accept it all just as it comes tumbling in upon me?
nyp.33433074854823	Is it yours? ” And the lawyer held out a small knife with the letters “ R.
nyp.33433074854823	Is n’t everyone kind? ” “ It really is a happy playground, ” Gale Sewell philosophised, “ if one always knows how to play.
nyp.33433074854823	Is n’t she Miss Sewell? ” “ Of course!
nyp.33433074854823	Is n’t she at Wolfboro? ” “ No, she ’s not, ” Bob answered.
nyp.33433074854823	Is n’t there a machinist over at the Club?
nyp.33433074854823	Is that Mars- den ’s car? ” “ Marsden ’s car?
nyp.33433074854823	Is that Mars- den ’s car? ” “ Marsden ’s car?
nyp.33433074854823	Is that Miss Sewell you've got there? ” came the call.
nyp.33433074854823	Is that Mrs. Sewell? ” “ Yes, ” Marsden nodded.
nyp.33433074854823	Is the doctor here? ” “ Yes, he's upstairs.
nyp.33433074854823	It has been closed ever since. ” “ Who has the keys? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074854823	It was them — these bonds — the men got? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074854823	It ’s got some very good points. ” “ And may I have you for a guide?
nyp.33433074854823	It ’s on his property. ” “ Belongs to Mr. Sewell? ” “ There are a lot of them around here that belong to him.
nyp.33433074854823	It ’s part of Sewell's property, and do n’t you remember, he stopped them a year after granting permission to cut?
nyp.33433074854823	It ’s what, two o'clock?
nyp.33433074854823	It's only a bit beyond the Club, and I ’m going over there this afternoon. ” “ But Kendon? ” “ Oh, I ’ll leave word here for him.
nyp.33433074854823	Kendon tells me Mr. Sewell is out? ” “ Yes, he and his niece.
nyp.33433074854823	Let Marsden ’s message be what it would, he would care for her — and so?
nyp.33433074854823	Like this? ” And with a quick movement the shrunken breast was uncov- ered, disclosing an old miniature hanging from a tiny gold chain.
nyp.33433074854823	Marsden is back? ” Bob demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	Marsden went down on that train? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074854823	Move over here from the Club. ” “ And do what? ” “ Nothing — just move.
nyp.33433074854823	No?
nyp.33433074854823	Now he must tell her something, yet what?
nyp.33433074854823	Or, better, was not after all the very setting into which she was cast the fitting measure of her frame?
nyp.33433074854823	Perhaps somewhere within the walls; but should he search?
nyp.33433074854823	Perhaps you ca n’t see it, Jack; you did n’t meet her first as I did. ” “ So different? ” “ Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433074854823	Perhaps you ca n’t see it, Jack; you did n’t meet her first as I did. ” “ So different? ” “ Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433074854823	Remember how ruthlessly you sacrificed your sunbonnet?
nyp.33433074854823	Remember what he said 50 MERYL about their wanting him to tell them about something?
nyp.33433074854823	See the gray hairs of piety? ” They both joined in the laugh, and the car swung around the curve and on into the deep shadow of close growing pines.
nyp.33433074854823	Sewell had sent for her. ” “ Sent for her? ” Kendon questioned with a perplexed stare.
nyp.33433074854823	Sewell wishes to see you, sir. ” “ See me? ” Bob questioned, rising quickly and turn- ing from the doctor to Marsden.
nyp.33433074854823	Sewell's secretary?
nyp.33433074854823	Shall we go on? ” Gale Sewell ’s eyes swept the tree tops.
nyp.33433074854823	Shall we go to him? ” “ My uncle back?
nyp.33433074854823	Shall we go to him? ” “ My uncle back?
nyp.33433074854823	She cares for you now, but had she met a hundred or so other fellows she would not?
nyp.33433074854823	She had trusted in him and he had brought her to what?
nyp.33433074854823	She has trusted me. ” “ But should n't one trust everybody? ” the girl questioned, with a frankness that almost seemed to carry banter with it.
nyp.33433074854823	She must, therefore, have been in the very room itself, for how else could the glove have been dropped where he had found it?
nyp.33433074854823	She nodded; there was a fourth class, and he?
nyp.33433074854823	Smart? ” Bob questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	So you have a full list of the contents of the packages? ” “ Oh, yes. ” “ And Kendon knows nothing of it? ” “ Why should he?
nyp.33433074854823	So you have a full list of the contents of the packages? ” “ Oh, yes. ” “ And Kendon knows nothing of it? ” “ Why should he?
nyp.33433074854823	So you have a full list of the contents of the packages? ” “ Oh, yes. ” “ And Kendon knows nothing of it? ” “ Why should he?
nyp.33433074854823	So you know my uncle? ” “ Why, of course, ” he agreed eagerly, as he moved forward.
nyp.33433074854823	Someone about? ” Kendon came close and his voice was nervously low.
nyp.33433074854823	Someone hurt?
nyp.33433074854823	Someone sent word that Miss Sewell was left alone — ”- “ Someone sent word?
nyp.33433074854823	Suppose she is the child?
nyp.33433074854823	Suppose what? ” He caught up the suggestion in the servant ’s words so suddenly that he was even startled himself.
nyp.33433074854823	Surely the man was a fool to talk so openly, if guilty, and yet — was his apparent innocence a cloak?
nyp.33433074854823	THE GNARLED OAK 103 “ Why are we going there? ” Bob questioned, hoping perhaps to learn what was really in the other's thoughts.
nyp.33433074854823	THE RIDDLE AGAIN 203 “ It might be those men? ” “ What men?"
nyp.33433074854823	THE RIDDLE AGAIN 203 “ It might be those men? ” “ What men?"
nyp.33433074854823	That note, telling where they were, where was it? ” “ I had it with me, it was in that box, in my trunk. ” “ Exactly.
nyp.33433074854823	That part is easy. ” “ Do n’t they'phone them generally?
nyp.33433074854823	The Mother Superior's answer changed the whole aspect of the matter. ” “ Yes? ” Bob Hernald hardly realised he spoke.
nyp.33433074854823	The air does give one an appetite, does n’t it? ” “ Yes, ” she agreed, “ but your friends.
nyp.33433074854823	The chances of getting the balance back are pretty slim, Kendon. ”- “ Ca n’t we find the men — can’t we get them back?
nyp.33433074854823	The dainty, curved lips, the fine nostrils, the eyes — big, open, frank — how could such a one be anything but what she claims to be?
nyp.33433074854823	The first corner was passed, then 212 MERYL finally lead?
nyp.33433074854823	The world looked brighter this day — and why not?
nyp.33433074854823	Then the bonds were to be given to her. ” “ And you just kept them, hoping Miss Sewell would be found? ” Bob questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	There, do you follow? ” “ Precisely, ” Bob nodded.
nyp.33433074854823	To Wilderness Lodge?
nyp.33433074854823	To do that, all facts, all points — you can get them from her if you go at it in the right way. ” “ You mean? ” Bob questioned slowly.
nyp.33433074854823	Too, why this dogged silence and sphynx- like manner?
nyp.33433074854823	WHO AM I?
nyp.33433074854823	Wait here for her to turn up?
nyp.33433074854823	Was Marsden right after all?
nyp.33433074854823	Was he after all in league with them, as Marsden had feared?
nyp.33433074854823	Was it but the exchange of one prison for another?
nyp.33433074854823	Was it not odd?
nyp.33433074854823	Was it possible Gale Sewell had not been ill at all?
nyp.33433074854823	Was it, after all, the truth that had been told him on the righ- road by the one in the automo- bile?
nyp.33433074854823	Was that because he had started with Meryl from Wolfboro, and in the end she had not reached Wilderness Lodge?
nyp.33433074854823	Was there another side to this beyond the personal note?
nyp.33433074854823	Well now, how far down the road was the carriage? ” “ I dunno. ” “ Do n’t know!
nyp.33433074854823	What are you doing up here and what were they doing to you? ” “ You are n’t in league with them? ” Kendon de- manded suspiciously.
nyp.33433074854823	What are you doing up here and what were they doing to you? ” “ You are n’t in league with them? ” Kendon de- manded suspiciously.
nyp.33433074854823	What can the fellow be thinking of?
nyp.33433074854823	What could he be doing asleep on the mountain side?
nyp.33433074854823	What day is it? ” “ There ’s no need to go to Wolfboro, ” Bob answered, reading the servant ’s thoughts.
nyp.33433074854823	What did I ever do to you? ” “ Nothing! ” Again Marsden ’s anger was up.
nyp.33433074854823	What did she think?
nyp.33433074854823	What do you mean? ” “ Oh, nothing.
nyp.33433074854823	What does it mean?
nyp.33433074854823	What had happened her?
nyp.33433074854823	What if it was to be cleared up?
nyp.33433074854823	What is it?"
nyp.33433074854823	What more could you do to help her than to get at the facts? ” 164 MERYL Bob brushed back his tumbled hair slowly.
nyp.33433074854823	What photograph is that?
nyp.33433074854823	What the devil, sir, do you mean by such actions? ”* A NIGHT ’S RUN 271.
nyp.33433074854823	What then?
nyp.33433074854823	What thrust the doubt upon everything?
nyp.33433074854823	What was he thinking of?
nyp.33433074854823	What was he to do?
nyp.33433074854823	What would happen if she ever got onto the truth?
nyp.33433074854823	When did you land and what has happened? ” “ When did I land! ” Kendon exclaimed.
nyp.33433074854823	When does Jack come back? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074854823	When you failed to return, I brought here over in my car. ” PUZZLING FACTS 45 “ You took her in your car, sir? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074854823	Where are we? ” “ In the tower. ” “ The tower?
nyp.33433074854823	Where are we? ” “ In the tower. ” “ The tower?
nyp.33433074854823	Where was the doctor?
nyp.33433074854823	Where were the servants Mr. Marsden had in- stalled?
nyp.33433074854823	Where ’s Frank?
nyp.33433074854823	Where ’s his room? ” The words had an electric effect on Kendon.
nyp.33433074854823	Where's the doctor? ” “ Here! ” Kendon muttered again.
nyp.33433074854823	Which way is it? ” “ Up yonder — over the hills, ” the arms were waved vaguely about.
nyp.33433074854823	Who could have called himself Mr. Sewell ’s secretary?
nyp.33433074854823	Who could this tall, daintily dressed lady be?
nyp.33433074854823	Who else knew of it?
nyp.33433074854823	Who would have telephoned to Mr. Sewell?
nyp.33433074854823	Who's gone? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074854823	Who's that?
nyp.33433074854823	Why did she not declare it all false?
nyp.33433074854823	Why his refusal to be frank?
nyp.33433074854823	Why press on?
nyp.33433074854823	Why should he be told anything?
nyp.33433074854823	Why should he fear these men would be coming back again?
nyp.33433074854823	Why the devil does n’t a fellow get in and dig, even if he does n’t have to?
nyp.33433074854823	Why was he out so late at night?
nyp.33433074854823	Why was it he could accept nothing that had transpired, or been said, as the truth?
nyp.33433074854823	Why, do you know, ” he came to a stop before the other, “ that house belongs to Gale Sewell?
nyp.33433074854823	Why, man, what ’s hap- pened you? ” Then his eyes turned.
nyp.33433074854823	Why, sir? ” “ Because of your actions.
nyp.33433074854823	Why, until you came, I was the only man she had ever known. ” “ Well, what of it? ” Jack was at a loss to see the point.
nyp.33433074854823	Why?
nyp.33433074854823	Why? ” Dawson ’s only answer was a laugh, as he turned away to join the others.
nyp.33433074854823	Why? ” “ Do you know what he looks like, I mean? ” Bob went on, turning upon his companion suddenly.
nyp.33433074854823	Why? ” “ Do you know what he looks like, I mean? ” Bob went on, turning upon his companion suddenly.
nyp.33433074854823	Will you go quietly or not? ” For an instant the man hesitated, and then with a nod, turned to his clothes.
nyp.33433074854823	Would n’t you want her to know it?
nyp.33433074854823	XXXI WHo AM I?
nyp.33433074854823	Yet had Gale Sewell been told?
nyp.33433074854823	Yet then you would have the estate, or wait — has Gale Sewell made a will? ” “ I think he has, ” the reply came hesitatingly.
nyp.33433074854823	Yet what else can we do? ” It seemed perfectly natural for him to couple their acts together.
nyp.33433074854823	Yet where was he?
nyp.33433074854823	Yet why his reticence?
nyp.33433074854823	Yet why should he feel so?
nyp.33433074854823	You are going there? ” “ I was going to my uncle ’s. ” MERYL SEWELL 17 “ That's it.
nyp.33433074854823	You did n’t hear them say where? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074854823	You had a note from him? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074854823	You must tell him. ” “ Do you think? ” She hesitated, pretty con- fusion hers, at the very suggestion.
nyp.33433074854823	You saw and followed me, found her and brought us both back here? ” Again Bob nodded.
nyp.33433074854823	You say I have done this? ” Slowly, like an avenging being, Gale Sewell rose to his full height.
nyp.33433074854823	You see I was right. ” “ And no one knew of them? ” “ I thought not.
nyp.33433074854823	You were told of that? ” “ Why, yes.
nyp.33433074854823	You ’ve never seen your uncle, have you? ” he suddenly demanded, determined to settle that ques- tion.
nyp.33433074854823	You! ” “ Against whom? ” Bob demanded, still holding his place, a step below Kendon in the doorway.
nyp.33433074854823	You've got him too. ” “ Kendon, what ’s wrong — what are you talking about? ” Bob demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	got the de- scription? ” Hemming nodded.
nyp.33433074854823	suppose I am wronging Kendon?
nyp.33433074854823	understand?
nyp.33433074854823	what?
nyp.33433074854823	“ And the poor, poor wrist? ” she demanded sud- denly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ And what took him off all of a sudden? ” “ He did n’t say.
nyp.33433074854823	“ And where did the man go? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074854823	“ And why GALE SEWELL TAKES A HAND 261 did n’t your friend call you up before?
nyp.33433074854823	“ And you were not going to tell Mr. Sewell? ” “ We feared it might kill him.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Anyone there? ” and they listened for a full minute, but no answer came to the hail.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Are you Sure? ” “ Oh, yes, sir, fer he come along with me.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Are you from the house below here? ” he asked, and as the nearer man nodded, he laughed.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Are you planning to stay up here much longer? ” “ Yes and no, ” Bob answered.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Are you quite fair to me, Mr. Hernald? ” “ Quite fair, ” he echoed; but he knew the wind was out of his sails.
nyp.33433074854823	“ As least, he ’s lucky to be strong enough to stand such a night. ” “ You think no harm is done? ” “ He ’ll be himself again.
nyp.33433074854823	“ At the Hanover Club. ” “ Yes. ”- “ What's your business? ” “ I ’m a lawyer — without practice. ” Gale Sewell smiled grimly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But even then, ” he protested, “ why should Ken- don come here?
nyp.33433074854823	“ But has n’t he seen you?
nyp.33433074854823	“ But should I? ” Meryl questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But what were they doing here?
nyp.33433074854823	“ But what ’s inside? ” Frank urged.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But who is she and how are we to find out? ” The lawyer shook his head.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But why 36 MERYL does n’t he answer or call again?
nyp.33433074854823	“ But why carry Meryl off as well? ” 257 258 MERYL “ They could n’t take one without the other.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But why did n’t they go and get Miss Sewell then? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But you have some idea, have n’t you?
nyp.33433074854823	“ But you say he did not send such a message? ” “ I said we did n’t get it.
nyp.33433074854823	“ But — but — what is it?
nyp.33433074854823	“ By the way, Kendon ’s little package has always been known to me. ” GALE SEWELL TAKES A HAND 259 66 What?
nyp.33433074854823	“ By the way, ” he suddenly demanded; “ when did you find Mr. Sewell was gone? ” “ Why, this morning, ” the doctor explained.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Ca n’t we go on, sir?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Can I – that is, let me do something? ” he pleaded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Can you explain it? ” “ The man — the second one — found the fellow tied up.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Can you find them? ” “ They were keeping her at the farmhouse on the Larmer road.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Could n’t he help you?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Dat yer, Mistah Hernal ’?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did I call her that?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did n't you get him? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did n’t you get my note? ” she asked, looking at him in wonder.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did n’t you say yourself that the truth must be reached, for her sake as well as for his?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did the lady look like that? ” “ Is it — no, it's not she- but yes, exactly, only younger. ” 62 MERYL “ I see.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did you cry out? ” “ Yes, ” Kendon nodded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did you find Miss Sewell? ” “ Find her! ” Kendon almost shouted; “ of course I found her.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did you hear that? ” Frank demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did you not get my wire? ” “ Wire?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Did you not get my wire? ” “ Wire?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do I?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do n’t count? ” she questioned a little puzzled; “ I think you count a great deal. ” He looked away.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do n’t know how to behave? ” he cried gaily.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do n’t you know me? ” “ Know you?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do n’t you know me? ” “ Know you?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do n’t you see? ” Bob flung out, almost angry be- cause of the fear in his own mind.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do n’t you think we are at odds in this discussion?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do you happen to know where your servant went to get the carriage? ” “ He did n’t say.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do you know a Mrs. Darneau?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do you know him? ” “ Why no, ” he shook his head slowly, puzzled by the question.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Do you think he ’ll come over to- night? ” “ I doubt it. ” Jack shook his head slowly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Does n’t it pain you at all now? ” “ Not a bit, ” he answered, feeling the ice growing stronger under his feet.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Does she know? ” he cried, thinking first of Meryl.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Er — I should say no, of course! ”* Kendon? ” “ His delight at her return would indicate not, ” Marsden admitted slowly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Explain yourself? ” Bob went back slowly over the whole night, reciting now in careful detail everything that had transpired.
nyp.33433074854823	“ God, man?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Got it? ” Bob muttered, motioning to the note.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Got it? ” Marsden repeated.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Has Mr. Marsden explained matters at all, sir? ” 66 A STRANGE CALLER 67 Kendon suddenly demanded, coming to a stop before Bob.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Have you any doubt that the lady was Miss Sewell? ” “ Have I any doubt!
nyp.33433074854823	“ Have you any idea? ” he demanded, as with an ef- fort, he caught his breath.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Have you forgotten?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Have you seen a broken- down carriage? ” Bob de- manded, gazing down into the dirt- besmirched face which scrutinised him in honest admiration.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Have you talked with Kendon? ” Bob demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ He went down the road? ” A MISSING SERVANT II “ The boy said it was down the road.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Here, and Miss Meryl too?
nyp.33433074854823	“ How can I get to Wolfboro?
nyp.33433074854823	“ How could I? ” She turned to him again.
nyp.33433074854823	“ How did they learn of these certificates? ” he de- manded as the other finished.
nyp.33433074854823	“ How far up the road is your friend? ” the man questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	“ How far? ” “ Ten miles. ” “ Ten miles!
nyp.33433074854823	“ How much farther is it? ” “ Oh, not a great way, ” he laughed.
nyp.33433074854823	“ How to prevent?
nyp.33433074854823	“ I guess that fourth class is the class of egoists. ” 66 Why?
nyp.33433074854823	“ I ’ll come at once. ” He hesitated, “ And Mr. Marsden? ”- “ Well?
nyp.33433074854823	“ I ’ll come at once. ” He hesitated, “ And Mr. Marsden? ”- “ Well?
nyp.33433074854823	“ I ’ve thought of it before,”—he turned back,-"but what to tell Sewell?
nyp.33433074854823	“ If the estate was to lose nothing, if Meryl was to have this money and an equivalent was to be returned, do you understand? ”.
nyp.33433074854823	“ If there is anything I can do? ” he urged.
nyp.33433074854823	“ If you would like me to look? ” he suggested, moved by the tone.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is it asking too much, Mr. Hernald, for you to catch that early train at Wolfboro?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is it enough?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is it not an auspicious introduction? ” “ It is an eminently fitting greeting, ” he laughed gaily, remembering his optimistic dream.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is it not ” — with great seriousness—“my property now, being yours? ” And he pulled it forth from the depths of an inside pocket.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is n’t the world a big, happy play- ground?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is that Miss Sewell? ” came the question again.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is there any need of a retainer?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Is your uncle Gale Sewell of Wilderness Lodge? ” “ Wilderness Lodge! ” Meryl Sewell questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	“ It ca n’t be any of the fellows? ” Frank sug- gested.
nyp.33433074854823	“ It is a long while, is n’t it?
nyp.33433074854823	“ It is n’t Mr. Sewell himself who had his niece car- ried off, is it? ” Bob suddenly questioned, leaning for- ward, his elbows on his knees.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Kendon?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Might as well make a dollar that way as not. ” “ How soon could you get it? ” “ It ’s down at the house.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Might try to carry Miss Sewell off again? ” “ Oh, no, sir, not that, ” Kendon cried in genuine alarm at the mere suggestion.
nyp.33433074854823	“ No, I do n’t; but then, what of it? ” he put in, sud- denly remembering that he was discussing with a servant Mr. Marsden ’s acts.
nyp.33433074854823	“ No? ” he propounded solemnly, studying the other ’s face.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Not that, but they 99 might still try “ Still try what? ” he urged sharply as the old servant 204 MERYL again hesitated.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Not until we search the past, Bob; not until I know the whole truth. ” “ You mean? ” And his heart cried out in his words.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Of the cities — of places where they are not as are we at Wilderness Lodge? ” “ There are no cities — there are no other places.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Oh! ” she cried like a glad creature of the mystic wood, “ is it not beautiful?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Oh, what am I to do? ” “ But it's not so bad, ” he urged.
nyp.33433074854823	“ One of the gardeners, perhaps. ” “ What was it, sir?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Open up, will you? ” Not a sound answered the summons.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Say, mister, what kind of a proposition are you building?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Say, what's up? ” “ What's up? ” Bob's hand swung quickly to his hip pocket.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Say, what's up? ” “ What's up? ” Bob's hand swung quickly to his hip pocket.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Say, ” the man exclaimed, “ what ’s up?
nyp.33433074854823	“ See Mr. Hernald? ” Marsden demanded, stepping forward quickly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ See her?
nyp.33433074854823	“ See? ” His grip on his friend's arm tightened.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Sent for her? ” “ Why, yes.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Shall I lecture, really? ” he began; but she stopped him.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Shall we go on?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Shall we go to her now? ” Bob suggested, as if that was their purpose, afoot so early.
nyp.33433074854823	“ She must be somewhere about? ” “ Must bel ” exclaimed the one who had complained at the latitude allowed.
nyp.33433074854823	“ So it seems. ” “ And Mr. Marsden feared I would stay on as Meryl Sewell, and so get Mr. Sewell ’s money?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Someone ’s there — they looked out. ” “ Are you sure? ” Bob questioned, his eyes watching the window intently.
nyp.33433074854823	“ The old place is full of them, is it not, Kendon? ” “ There are a few, sir, ” the servant agreed.
nyp.33433074854823	“ The one I told the man about? ” the boy demanded eagerly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ The other way? ” Bob questioned, glancing back over his shoulder.
nyp.33433074854823	“ The papers! ” “ The papers! ” Where had he heard that before?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Then how did you come? ” He struggled to his feet.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Then who — ” “ Is this girl you find stranded in Wolfboro? ” Mars- den shook his head.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Then you did come, ” she smiled; “ you got my note! ” “ You note? ” His lips framed the words, though they were not uttered.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Then, ” he turned again, “ you joined forces with Marsden — found her? ” Bob nodded, as this was put as a question.
nyp.33433074854823	“ There's the pail! ” “ Yes, ” came the answer with an oath, “ but where ’s the girl?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Thinking of the girl? ” Marsden asked with an easy smile.
nyp.33433074854823	“ To Wilderness Lodge! ” came the exclamation from another, so loud that the girl could not help catching the words, “ up that hill?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Unless what, Kendon?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Was the carriage broken down? ” he demanded, turning toward Kendon to note his expression at the question.
nyp.33433074854823	“ We are both at sea. ” 46 We?
nyp.33433074854823	“ We should be there before midnight. ” “ And could you stand it to turn right around and come back? ” Bob Hernald nodded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Well, what do you think? ” Bob glanced up suddenly, realising that the lawyer was standing waiting for an answer.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Well, what ’s to be done?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Well? ” the younger man demanded as the lawyer dropped into the chair beside him.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What Was it? ” Before Hemming could answer, the cry was borne to their ears again.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What did they amount to? ” “ Three hundred and twenty thousand dollars. ” “ Three hundred and twenty thousand dollars! ” Bob repeated.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What do you mean? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What do you mean? ” “ What I say, ” Kendon rushed on, his words tumbling PUZZLING FACTS 53 one upon the other.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What for? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What has happened you? ” “ You! ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What in the deuce? ” he demanded, but Bob cut him short.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What in the world are doing here? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What in — what's up? ” the fellow exploded, swing- ing around to the one at his side.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What is it then? ” She spoke softly, for suddenly she had seen the look in his eyes.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What is it? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What is it? ” she cried, deep sympathy in her face.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What other man? ” “ The feller that got me to go to the station.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What the devil can it mean? ” Frank exclaimed as they slowed down to a walk.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What was she like?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What ’s wanted?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What ’s wrong, man?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What's the use?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What's wrong, Bob? ” He did n’t feel he could be mistaken.
nyp.33433074854823	“ What's wrong?
nyp.33433074854823	“ What's wrong? ” Frank yelled, using his hands as a trumpet.
nyp.33433074854823	“ When did my uncle get back? ” she asked as they arose from the rocks upon which they had been resting and began to climb again.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where am I?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where am I? ” he cried, as he threw out his hand to steady himself against the building.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where have you been, man?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where have you been? ” 106 GNARLED OAK AND FLOWER 107.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where have you been? ” “ Why, here! ” she nodded down the road.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where shall we wait? ” the girl questioned half absently.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where ’s Smart? ” “ In bed, I guess.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Where, ” he muttered under his breath, “ is this leading me? ” He began to see why Marsden should hesitate to press the search.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Who in PLAYING THE INNOCENT 121 hell are you to talk about mistakes?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Why all these questions? ”- “ Oh, nothing. ” He turned it off with a laugh.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Why did he return with you? ” Gale Sewell asked quickly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Why did you fight? ” It came softly, the question.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Why not let me take you there?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Will he go? ” “ He ’s got to go — that ’s all, ” Bob answered shortly.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Would your friend know him if he saw him? ” “ Neither of us know him.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Yes, and what do you think of her? ” For a moment Marsden considered the question be- fore he turned and flung himself into another chair.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Yes, but, Heavens, man, what ’s happened?
nyp.33433074854823	“ Yes, what ’s wanted? ” No answer came to the question, but instead, one of the men jumped down and came toward them.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Yes? ” came the hardly audible question, and then the tired eyelids closed, the effort of inquiry being too great.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Yet what does it mean?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You against him too?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You are stopping at the house below here? ” The girl nodded, wonder in her eyes at his strange questions.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You ask that? ” 278 274 MERYL “ I ” Bob began.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You can cancel my retainer, Mr. Marsden. ” “ Why? ” the lawyer gave back, his eyes narrowing.

nyp.33433074854823	“ You do n’t know what you ’re talking about. ” “ Do n’t?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You do n’t know who they are? ” Bob re- peated incredulously.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You do n’t want to give what you have left to Miss Sewell?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You heard me tell him about those two men? ” He was resolved to find out what she did know for he would not risk being caught in a lie to her.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You heard nothing of him from the time he landed? ” “ And know nothing more.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You here?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You kept that sum in securities all this time, after you had searched for Miss Sewell and failed to find her?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You mean, ” he suggested, biting his under lip, “ Gale Sewell must never know? ” “ Yes — that she must never know. ” “ Show me how.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You never heard of the stock market, did you?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You sent for me? ” 180 MERYL Gale Sewell nodded in answer, and at a chair close by the bed.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You were at the station, were you not? ” she asked, the colour deepening in her face even as she put the ques- tion.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You would?
nyp.33433074854823	“ You ’re sure you ’re all right? ” Bob insisted.
nyp.33433074854823	“ You! ” he muttered; “ how do you know of Gale Sewell ’s niece? ” “ I found her at the Wolfboro House, where you had left her.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Your friend's hurt, you say? ” the taller man de- manded, and Bob noted the tone was far less suspicious.
nyp.33433074854823	“ Your trip to Boston? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074854823	” Marsden drummed impatiently on the 185 186 MERYL “ Well, and then? ” “ This question of the girl's identity will come up.
nyp.33433076025786	Ah, then you have your doubts? ”Just a suspicion.
nyp.33433076025786	And you, Senor General, you fight with us? ”It will be an honor,"graciously replied the hero of Panama.
nyp.33433076025786	Are you not content with him as he is? ” persisted Raoul. nyp.33433076025786 Are you the queen?"
nyp.33433076025786	Are you very uncomfortable? ” “ Oh, quite the contrary! nyp.33433076025786 But what will you do without me, Una? ”"I will take her,"interposed Miranda in a chivalric outburst.
nyp.33433076025786	But why?
nyp.33433076025786	But — why all this elaborate experiment of yours?
nyp.33433076025786	Did you ever feel that you had lost yourself? ” asked Leighton abruptly. nyp.33433076025786 Did you meet the Yankee, Don David, with them? ” asked Herran.
nyp.33433076025786	Do what he tells me? nyp.33433076025786 Do you know where he lives? ” “ Surely, Senor.
nyp.33433076025786	Do you know where he was when he disappeared from Bogota three years ago? ”No."
nyp.33433076025786	For me — yes, for me there is, perhaps, danger. ” “ How can that be?
nyp.33433076025786	He knows where he is? ” asked Herran eagerly. nyp.33433076025786 I did n't say that. ” “ Well?"
nyp.33433076025786	I gave the names of all who are in your party and told why they stayed in Honda. ” “ Why so much detail about us? nyp.33433076025786 I know nothing, absolutely nothing. ”"You admit you have a theory — let's call it that- a theory that fits the facts so far as you know them?"
nyp.33433076025786	I wonder if you will always think that! ”You mean, I may forget?"
nyp.33433076025786	Is this your laboratory? ” he asked. nyp.33433076025786 It come into the cave. ” “ How do you know that? ” “ Always there is water in the cave.
nyp.33433076025786	It is dancing about as if it were moved by a breeze from somewhere. ” “ What do you mean? nyp.33433076025786 It is the Lake Guatavita. ”"How can that be? ” argued Leighton.
nyp.33433076025786	Just what is it? ”Trapping a ghost,"was the laconic answer.
nyp.33433076025786	Surely, not'Adios,? nyp.33433076025786 Surely, you are not a stran- ger to Guatavita, to Bogota? ” he added, not concealing his astonishment.
nyp.33433076025786	Una, how do you choose?
nyp.33433076025786	Well, do you understand it now? ” he asked. nyp.33433076025786 Well, how do you feel? ” asked Leighton, gathering up the notes which were strewn on the little table.
nyp.33433076025786	What about the mission he was on? nyp.33433076025786 What for is the magnet, and this well, and this machine?"
nyp.33433076025786	What is that to you?
nyp.33433076025786	What is that to you?
nyp.33433076025786	What make him drown? nyp.33433076025786 Whatever happened, Uncle Harold, ” said Una, who had ventured into the tunnel some distance ahead of the others,"what difference does it make now?
nyp.33433076025786	When you found his horse you made a thorough search for your friend, of course, Senor? ” he asked Miranda eagerly. nyp.33433076025786 Who is he?"
nyp.33433076025786	Why not say the river Magdalena? nyp.33433076025786 You are glad, are n't you?
nyp.33433076025786	You remember him? ”. nyp.33433076025786 You see the mark of the feets?"
nyp.33433076025786	You want me for the victim?
nyp.33433076025786	276 THE GILDED MAN"Ever since you came back? ” repeated Una, seizing upon the clew.
nyp.33433076025786	A man with all your interests at stake in this puzzle- surely you must have reached some con- clusion?"
nyp.33433076025786	All we want is to find him. ” “ If the man you seek is here of his own will, why should I help you find him?
nyp.33433076025786	And 74 THE GILDED MAN now — supposing that I am this queen you talk of — what is it you want of me?"
nyp.33433076025786	And here it is! ” “ What it make here? ” demanded Miranda.
nyp.33433076025786	And his daughter- he brings her to Bogota?
nyp.33433076025786	And now — why do you tell all this to me, Senor?"
nyp.33433076025786	And now, tell me: what have you done with Anitoo?"
nyp.33433076025786	And that's all I remem- ber. ”"But- how you say that?
nyp.33433076025786	And this is done by the psychometer. ”"How?"
nyp.33433076025786	And why do you talk as if you believed in the Stoneleigh ghosts?
nyp.33433076025786	And you, Senor; I may see you in Bogota?"
nyp.33433076025786	And you, Senor?"
nyp.33433076025786	Arthur?"
nyp.33433076025786	Believe it or not — who can be sure of these things?"
nyp.33433076025786	But how you know I am doctor? ” The Indian smiled, inclining his head graciously before answering.
nyp.33433076025786	But what can you do?
nyp.33433076025786	But what did Leighton really know of all this?
nyp.33433076025786	But what do you make in this cave?"
nyp.33433076025786	But you have a friend in Bo- gota?
nyp.33433076025786	But — is he not with you? ” they asked in return.
nyp.33433076025786	But — was it a windlass?
nyp.33433076025786	But — what is David to do here?"
nyp.33433076025786	But, what can I do for you?"
nyp.33433076025786	But, where are my American friends? ” he asked abruptly.
nyp.33433076025786	But- surely you did not come here to ask me that?
nyp.33433076025786	Can we not be friends still? ” “ There's another strange question!
nyp.33433076025786	Could it be that his search for the descendant of that almost mythical line of monarchs had been so unexpectedly, completely rewarded?
nyp.33433076025786	Danger?
nyp.33433076025786	Did he tell you? ”"No.
nyp.33433076025786	Did the birds tell us, I wonder, or was it written on the trees, or whis- pered in the golden air?
nyp.33433076025786	Did you ever play the game of twenty questions? ”"I have, ” interjected Una.
nyp.33433076025786	Did you ever see a human being jump out at you from a pair of eyes?
nyp.33433076025786	Do you remember that first day?
nyp.33433076025786	Does he say so?
nyp.33433076025786	For all I know she may want to go with us. ” “ Would you consent? ” “ There's no reason against it.
nyp.33433076025786	For so long generations of dead men had come crying, like those three old horsemen in Morris's Glittering Plain: “ Is this the Land?
nyp.33433076025786	From a slowly moving figure amid the bushes behind them came an uncompromising question: “ David, you have told her?"
nyp.33433076025786	Had he deliberately deserted them, or had he suddenly been spirited away by the same invisible agency that had prevented their leaving the cave?
nyp.33433076025786	Had his companion been carried along by the volunteers?
nyp.33433076025786	Have you ever seen a foreigner here? ” “ No — yes, Senor. ” “ To- day?"
nyp.33433076025786	Have you ever seen a foreigner here? ” “ No — yes, Senor. ” “ To- day?"
nyp.33433076025786	Have you seen him? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	Having lost his head once why should he lose it a second time, and just because he had fallen a victim to the wiles of the Panamanians?
nyp.33433076025786	He declared that a short time before a messenger had come saying that I was in the house, waiting for him. ” “ Whose house was it?"
nyp.33433076025786	He has been away a long time, has n't he? ” Then, after a pause: “ Why does he come back? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	He has been away a long time, has n't he? ” Then, after a pause: “ Why does he come back? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	How ad- dress her?
nyp.33433076025786	How are we to reach Guata- vita?"
nyp.33433076025786	How can I ever be grateful enough for the kindness you have shown me? ” He knelt before her, kissing her hand.
nyp.33433076025786	How can I save him?"
nyp.33433076025786	How could he say that to her now, after all that had passed?
nyp.33433076025786	How could you know? ” she persisted.
nyp.33433076025786	How did he get here?
nyp.33433076025786	How do you introduce the thought you want to measure? ”"If I explain that the experiment would n't be pos- sible,"said Leighton with a laugh.
nyp.33433076025786	I am not sure, I want to be certain, now that he has forgotten you, that he is still himself. ” “ Why do you doubt?
nyp.33433076025786	I have a feeling that he could tell more about my disappearance than he chose to tell. ” “ Why did you leave him?"
nyp.33433076025786	I have no doubt it can be solved. ” “ You have the clew? ” demanded Leighton.
nyp.33433076025786	I observed that he beckoned me to him- and as he did so I followed. ”"Well? ” “ That was the singular part of it.
nyp.33433076025786	I suppose you have no theory to explain our friend's disappearance? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	I think he is lost in this cave. ” “ Why?"
nyp.33433076025786	I will tell him how you are hur- rying to the rescue of the Isthmus. ” “ Where are your soldiers? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	I would n't trust him — although he seems to be asleep. ”"And you, Senor?"
nyp.33433076025786	It has no — what you call? — cleft."
nyp.33433076025786	It may be — how can I explain?
nyp.33433076025786	It starts up an altogether abnormal psychology, does n't it? ” “ Very apt to."
nyp.33433076025786	It's a good rule."?

nyp.33433076025786	Mr. Leighton, ” he asked abruptly, “ have you ever known David to drink a glass of wine?"
nyp.33433076025786	My niece and I are in this country for the express purpose of solving David's former disappear- ance. ” “ Your niece?"
nyp.33433076025786	Not frightened, you know, but just nervous. ” “ Why you not call to me? ” demanded Miranda.
nyp.33433076025786	Now, Mr. Leighton —""Ready?
nyp.33433076025786	Of course he will. ” “ Are you sure?
nyp.33433076025786	Of course, you are going to let me into the secret? ” “ How can I? ” he retorted.
nyp.33433076025786	Of course, you are going to let me into the secret? ” “ How can I? ” he retorted.
nyp.33433076025786	Or- did it still serve as a refuge, a pro- tection, to the descendants of that condor- born zipa of Narva's legend?
nyp.33433076025786	Perhaps it is not true. ”"It is true. ” “ How do you know that?"
nyp.33433076025786	Still, how can that be if Don Rafael is her father?
nyp.33433076025786	Surely, you have heard of it, Senorita? ” “ Yes — I think everyone has heard of it.
nyp.33433076025786	That is n't very nice of you to say. ”"He asked me if I thought our marriage should take place. ” “ And you said?"
nyp.33433076025786	The first word he uttered was a cry to Sajipona: “ Where is Una? ” Raoul would have answered, but Sajipona checked him.
nyp.33433076025786	The question remained, how carry out the proposed exploration?
nyp.33433076025786	The result has been similar to that brought on by hypnotism. ”"Well? ” “ There's your clew! ” Raoul announced triumphantly.
nyp.33433076025786	Then he asked:"How did you know?"
nyp.33433076025786	Then they know nothing? ” “ That is all, Senor. ”"Then he is lost, that little fellow.
nyp.33433076025786	Then, out of the surging crowd of volunteers, came a stentorian voice: “ Donde vamos, Pedro el Rey? ”( “ Where shall we go, King Pedro? ”).

nyp.33433076025786	“ But, I'm right?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Caramba! ” he snorted;"and who are you? ” “ I am Anitoo. ”"That is not Spanish, ” said Miranda sharply.
nyp.33433076025786	“ David has the secret. ”"I have it? ” repeated the other, perplexed.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Depends a little on the stage setting, does n't it?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Do you feel it?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Do you know an American in this town by the name of Raoul Arthur? ” interrupted Leighton.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Doctor, you are sure that Mr. Parmelee has this miserable fever? ” inquired Una anxiously.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Does he say that, on coming out of the trance, I could remember nothing that happened during those three months? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433076025786	“ Does the man who so strangely lost his memory by your dynamite explosion believe this one? ” she asked laughing.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Don David?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Even if I could do as you say, ” he asked, “ why would you have David changed? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Have you discovered Guatavita's secret?
nyp.33433076025786	“ He catch more, better fish than the whole world. ” “ Where is all that gold to- day?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ How can we picnic with dead walls and mysterious footprints all around us? ”"Good! ” exclaimed Miranda in response to Una's ap- peal.
nyp.33433076025786	“ How do you know that he is wise- and he is!—and that he is here?
nyp.33433076025786	“ How do you know that?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ I do n't understand. ”"If you forget a thing, you lose just that much of yourself, do n't you?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Is your experiment like Una's game? ” asked David.
nyp.33433076025786	“ My horse is fresh, I will ride to Bogota. ”"A stranger?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Now, what do you remember? ”"I'll have to go back a little.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Panama is far off-- and why should I send such good citizens away from Bogota? ” “ Por la Patria!
nyp.33433076025786	“ Plenty A CHAPTER ON GHOSTS 23 of space, is n't there?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Six?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ That is all?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ The Yankees?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Then why ask me for him?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Then you believe in ghosts? ” “ Of course Uncle Harold believes in them, ” exclaimed Una.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Then you have not always been here?
nyp.33433076025786	“ There is danger for Americans traveling in the in- terior? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076025786	“ They are looking for us now in Bogota. ”"Did you say that I was with you?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ This is Mr. Raoul Arthur?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Wait in the river? ” angrily demanded the doctor.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well, Senor,"said Anitoo impatiently,"you will come with us?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well, if he did n't drown, as our friend argues, what did become of him?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well, what shall we do? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well, ” said the latter, “ what then? ”"If I could only tell you! ” “ Surely, you remember something — there is some clew"“ Nothing!
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well? ” he asked scornfully.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well? ” “ Do n't you see what happened? ” “ I have not had your experience with David,"was the sarcastic reply.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Well? ” “ Do n't you see what happened? ” “ I have not had your experience with David,"was the sarcastic reply.
nyp.33433076025786	“ What am I to do? ” asked David.
nyp.33433076025786	“ What do you mean by ghosts?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ What do you mean?'
nyp.33433076025786	“ What do you think of it? ” was the reply.
nyp.33433076025786	“ What do you want? ” Involuntarily the leaders of the mob fell back, awed by the girl's courage and dignity.
nyp.33433076025786	“ What has gone?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ What is his name?
nyp.33433076025786	“ What is that cayman doing there under the trees? ”.
nyp.33433076025786	“ What is to become of him?
nyp.33433076025786	“ What news from Panama?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ When?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Where could he have gone? ” asked Una.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Where is Mr. Arthur? ” suddenly asked Una.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Where is he?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Who are you?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why are you here? ” demanded Anitoo.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why did n't you answer Uncle Harold? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why disturb him now?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why do you say we have the secret of Guatavita? ” “ Look!"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why do you think he is here? ” demanded Sajipona.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why have you brought me here? ” asked Una.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why should I help you? ” she said.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why should we go from them? ” asked Leighton.
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why we go to your queen?
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why with Raoul? ” “ You do n't know Raoul."
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why? ” “ What a question!
nyp.33433076025786	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ Will you go with me? ” she asked her in a whisper.
nyp.33433076025786	“ You agree?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ You are fond of him?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ You found yourself- p"“ Seated in a chair, in a room in a strange house in Bogota. ”"Alone? ” “ Raoul Arthur was with me.
nyp.33433076025786	“ You have told her? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076025786	“ You take us out?"
nyp.33433076025786	“ You will not go? ” he said, his eyes meeting Una's.
nyp.33433076025786	“ You wrote to Raoul Arthur?"

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you still persist in wanting to be introduced to him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you think me hard and cruel? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Do you wish me to read it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you, does any body, suspect Me? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Does Destiny bring her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does Dexter strike you as a likely man to give his nervous'system a chance of recovery? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Does it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does n't daunt you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Does she still meditate that hopeless project- the offspring, poor angel, of her artless, unthinking generosity?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does that mean that Eustace has left you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does that mean that you heard him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does the music up- stairs annoy you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does this learned discourse on Dexter mean that you are going to see him again?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does this surprise you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Eustace has not quarreled with you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	For a book?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Good God- why?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	HIave you met with any letters of mine in the course of your investigations?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had you not better leave it here?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Has any thing happened since yesterday to increase their distrust of me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Has he appointed no time for his return to you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Has your uncle received any answer from Major FitzDavid?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you any ideas?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you really never heard of the Trial?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you recovered your belief in him already?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	He ai n't in love with you, is he?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	He understands that you have not broken your promise to him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How do you believe she died?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How do you do, Mrs. Valeria?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How do you know I have ideas of my own?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How is the time going? miun.aan6316.0001.001 I believe, Mr. Dexter, you have ideas of your own about the mystery of her death?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I do n't know what I am talking about?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I seem to have surprised you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I suppose I had better go too?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I want to consult him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I wonder what it is that makes her so utterly distasteful to me? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Ideas which you have mentioned to any one?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If I ca n't go to him, why do n't you bring him here to me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If I fail to find the person,I said,"will you undertake to help me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	In speaking to you of the defects in her complexion,he said,"did your daughter- in- law refer in any way to the use of arsenic as a remedy?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	In the way?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is he going to bring you out on the stage?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it connected with Eustace MIacallan's first wife?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it necessary to mention your husband?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it no concern of mine?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it not plain enough for your uncle?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it possible,he exclaimed,"that you wo n't let that miserable matter rest even yet?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is that Mrs. Valeria? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Is that right?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is the quarrel so serious as that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is this the other subject?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	MIaking acquaintance with me? miun.aan6316.0001.001 May I ask on what subject?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May I ask why?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May I ask why?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May I call you my charming friend? miun.aan6316.0001.001 May I venture to ask, ma'amn, how you propose to prevent me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May a plain country parson, who is n't used to lawyers in petticoats, be permitted to ask how you mean to do it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Mlay I hear the new idea?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Mrs. Valeria, do you see the face of this creature in front of me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Not even the lady there?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Not even the lawyers?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Not in her own room?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Not in the humor?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Nothing?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Now?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Oh, Mrs. Woodville, ai n't it lucky? miun.aan6316.0001.001 On my guard against myself?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Once again, am I right- so far?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	One?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Only one?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Or shall we go on to Broadstairs, and return to Ramsgate by the railway?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	See him again?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	See him, after he grossly insulted you, under my roof, in this very room? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Shall I go with her, sir?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall I never get away from it in my thoughts? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Shall we go into the other room?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we go, Valeria?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	So the lawyer thinks, as I do, that you will be highly imprudent if you go back to Mr. Dexter? miun.aan6316.0001.001 So this is your interest,"he said,"in clearing up the mystery of Mrs. Eustace Macallan's death?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Suppose we get on with our dinner?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Tall?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The Scotch Verdict?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The enviable man who is married to You anxious and out of spirits? miun.aan6316.0001.001 The jury were not quite satisfied that my husband was guilty?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The man who has deceived and deserted you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Valeria,"he asked,"have you nothing to say to me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	WIhy not?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was she the Hand that her mistress used? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Was that the Verdict when Eustace was tried?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the maid something more than her mistress's passive accomplice?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Well, my dear, and what of that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Well?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Well?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Were you allowed to read it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What am I to do after I have taken my place behind him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What are you going to read?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What brought him here? miun.aan6316.0001.001 What can I do for you, ma'am?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What can possibly be going on,I whispered to Mrs. Macallan,"on the other side of that door?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did the Maid say to the Mistress?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did you say your name was?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did you say, Oliver, when she asked for me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did you tell me my friends would say of you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 What did you tell me the world has said of you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do I care? miun.aan6316.0001.001 What do you mean by'vexing him?'"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you understand?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you want with the MIaster?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What does he say?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What else have you discovered?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What else have you to consult?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	What is that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What is the happy book which has interested you so deeply?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	What's come to you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 What, in God's name, was he talking about?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	When I am left here by myself, does your generous sympathy permit me to examine every thing in the room?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Where can I inquire? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Where do you keep it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Where is Eustace?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Where is he? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Where is he?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Where is she?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Where the poor lady was poisoned?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Who is he? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Who is it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Who is this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Who is to persuade him to come back?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why ca n't we see Dexter?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why did you let him leave the room?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why do you speak to me in this cruel way? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Why do you stop, Master?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why do you want to know?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why has he gone away and left me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why need you care to know, my darling?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why should you upset me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why should your mother drop the letter on purpose?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why, Master?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will my poor Eustace ever know what a wife he has got?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will nothing that I can say to you,he asked,"induce you to think as I think in this matter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you come and speak to Eustace?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you do me one favor? miun.aan6316.0001.001 Will you give me a little little longer time to prepare for the voyage?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you help me to understand her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will your friends agree with you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 With any thing that happened in her lifetime?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	With her death?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Without any necessity for it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Yes?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Yes?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You admit that, do you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 You are positively resolved?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You are sure your uncle said those words?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You ca n't leave London for the present?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You do n't understand a word of my stories, do you? miun.aan6316.0001.001 You mean to read it, I suppose?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You really mean it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You remember referring my uncle to a friend of yours and of his?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You want to know Miserrimus Dexter?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Another poem?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Before you drank your tea, ma'am?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Has she taken her healing medicine from your hand?''
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Have you attended on her, Damoride?''
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''How does Angelica like you?''
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Shall I tell you?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Who lies ill in the chamber above us?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	''Why not?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	'Ca n't you see for yourselves,'he said,'that it is a table, and nothing more?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	'My chair is Me,'he said:'how dare you lay hands on Me?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	'Well, Lucy,'she said,'how d'ye do?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	'Where is Mrs. Beauly?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	'Will you inquire if Mr. Macallan can see us?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	( How would Mr. Playmore have felt if he had heard those words?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	)'Damoride, I have told you one of my secrets; shall I tell you another?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	)'Do you see a green vial in the casket?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	)'Do you see a liquid in the green vial?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	13 And whom do I see in the glass standing by my side?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	163 Had I answers ready if those two plain questions were put to me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	185"Are we to have no light?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	187"It is the face of an idiot, is n't it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	191 the figure, not the face!-do you see no resemblance there to Eustace's first wife?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	211 You're not offended with me — are you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	215 in mercy to others'?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	221"What is the first letter of her name?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	225"Do you like my dramatic style of narrative?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	261"Does that mean that you are determined to go on?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	307"What are you going to do with it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	313 Dexter to know what was in my husband's Diary?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	37"You?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	55 report of me have been if I had presented myself to him with my colorless cheeks and my ill- dressed hair?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	83 yourself in this room?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	95 side, in the time of that other woman Wvhom I married first?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	A cup of tea?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	A fiiend of mine?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	A good figure?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	About your name?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Ain I the victim of a delusion- or did our fair friend really ask me to give her an introduction to Miserrimus Dexter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Am I right?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Am I speaking too fieely?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And can you believe your ears?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And did n't I present it to you promiscuously, with the best intentions?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And had he not nobly redeemed the pledge?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And has mad Miserrimus Dexter been of some assistance to you, so far?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And houw does it leave him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And shall I be weak enouch to forgive you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And thus- in one of the finest tenor voices I ever heard- my poet sang of me:"Why does she come?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And was he going to do what he would have done in my husband's place?-was he really going to tell me the truth?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And was this the sort of man who would be capable of poisoning his wife?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what am I to look for, even if I do examine them all?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what did these highly ornamental pages contain?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what does any thing matter to any body?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what does he mean by'Number Nine, Calderlshaws,'and the rest of it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what does he see?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what does it matter?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what does the nurse( Christina Ormsay) tell us?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what is circumstantial evidence but conjecture?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what is the result?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And what were you going to say?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And where was she during the dark hours of the night?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And who had the money?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And why had Major Fitz- David's face changed when he found that I had discovered the remains of his shattered work of art in the cabinet drawer?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And why?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And you are going to prove it single- handed?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And you blame me for feeling this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	And, thereupon, what had Benjamin done?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	AndI?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you alone in Edinburgh?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you angry, Eustace?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you free too?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you his match at that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you ill?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you like me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you listening to me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you still determined to penetrate the mystery at Gleninch?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Are you the writer of that letter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	As beautiful as ever?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	At what time does the disappearance of Mrs. Beauly take place?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	At4 revoir, my charming friend- au revoir?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	B?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Benjamin, do you hear her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Benjamin, in his turn, looked at Major Fitz- David, and said,"Will you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Benjamin?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Besides, who could say that the events of the future might not yet justify me- not only to myself, but to him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But could the book prove that she had asked her husband to buy arsenic for her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But may it not be the happier destiny to be an animal or a plant?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But the question was, Had he just as truly and dearly loved Mrs. Beauly before me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But what can I do?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But where was the proof that Mrs. Eustace Macallan's hand had placed the packet in the cabinet, and had emptied it of its contents?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But who could read what I had read, who could feel what I now felt, and still maintain an undisturbed serenity of look and manner?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	But your uncle's opinion is surely worth considering?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	By what accident had it become broken?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Ca n't you guess?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Call you tell me that?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can I describe her cunning?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can I do any thing for you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can I offer you any refreshment?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can I speak to you for a moment, if you please?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can we live together on such terms as these?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can you find it in your heart to leave him, Valeria, now that God's mercy has restored him to you and to me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can you live on terms of mutual confidence and mutual esteem with me when I have committed this fraud, and when I stand toward you in this position?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can you take him by surprise again?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Can you wonder that I let him have his way?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Clever and daring, was n't it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Could I face the glorious perils of childbirth with that possibility present to my mind?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Could I hope that he would confide to Me what he had kept secret from Justice and Friendship alike?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Could I present myself to a stranger, could I hope to produce the necessary impression in my favor, looking as I looked at that moment?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Could I put my question openly to Eustace when he awoke?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Could any body, withini my reach, tell me news of him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Could this very unattractive woman have been one of the early objects of his admiration?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Cunegonda speaks.'Damoride!''Madam?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dexter inquires,'Why?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dexter makes another inquiry( satirical inquiry, this time):'How does she look when she is terribly fatigued?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dexter said to them,'I suppose there is no harm in my going into the study to read-?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dexter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dexter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dexter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did Mrs. Beauly spend the night in Edinburgh- so as to have her defense ready, if suspicion fell upon her?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did he come here from the hotel?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did he return to the hotel and miss me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did he suspect her too?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did he suspect what I had done?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did he tell you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did n't you tell me you were looking for a book?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did nothing else take place at that interview?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did the sort of discovery that he contemplated mean something so dreadful that it would have parted us at once and forever?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did they love him as I love him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did what?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did you hear me when you came here?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did you know she was staying at Ramsgate?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Did your uncle say any thing when he showed you the major's letter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Dismiss my view as ridiculous; what are you to do next?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do n't I deserve some little indulgence?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do n't you agree with me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you consent to this, my dear?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you know how he gets from place to place without his chair?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you know who this is?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you like reading Trials?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you mean to tell me,"I said,"that your mother was out on the sands to- day for the express purpose of making acquaintance with Mie?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you mind returning with me to London by the next train?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you really mean to send it to him?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you really mean to try it?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you remember what I said when we were together in the back room at Major Fitz- David's house?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you see no obstacles and no perils in your way?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you see what materials for a domestic hell are mingling for us here?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you see your way to the guilty person?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you suppose I will let you go without me'?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you suppose I'm afraid of him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Do you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does Destiny bring her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does it matter where we live, so long as we live for each other?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does she still fancy that it is in her power to assert my innocence before the world?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Does the truth lie that way after all?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Even in my husband's interests, ought I to permit a man who had grossly insulted me to approach me again?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	FIRST QUESTION- DID THE WOMAN DIE POISONED?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Facts again?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had Ariel any excuses to make?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had I absolved him a little too readily?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had I been mad enough to torture myself with jealousy of my husband's sister?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had I caught the infection of madness in the air of the house?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had I heard her aright?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had I roused him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had he been pondering over the secret of my interest in Mrs. Beauly?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had she accidentally hit on the right suggestion to strike his wayward fancy?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had she been near enough and dear enough to him to be photographed with her hand in his?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had she got back to her room while I was asleep?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had she or I won the first love of his heart?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had they all been recovered?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Had we already exhausted the narrow yet eloquent vocabulary of love?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Has he no appreciation of beauty and grace?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Has she persisted in doing so?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Has this false wretch any conscience?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I been letting my mind drift again?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I deserved to be treated in that way, and by you, my charming friend?-by you, of all people in the world?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I ground them to powder for presuming to intrude on me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I no claim to look at the letter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I poisoned her?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I run over them?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have I succeeded or failed in describing the picture of myself which I see in the glass?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have we waited half an hour yet?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you any motive in coming here to see me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you any objection to going to London for a day or two?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you got any money?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you got one of your little notebooks to spare?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you heard of his horrible deformity?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you heard of your aunt's illness too?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you seen any thing of her?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you seen the poor deformed creature hop on his hands?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you thought of that?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Have you'led me, I wonder, into the rashest action of all?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Having the arsenic in his possession, what had he done with it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	He all but discovered her in one of her adventures( down in Scotland), which reminds me of the story in Auber's charming operawhat is it called?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	He is still keeping something from your knowledge which you are interested in.discovering?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	He made this remarkable reply:"Suspect?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	He took out the fair copy from Benjamin's note- book which I had sent to him, and showed me these among Dexter's closinc words:"What about the letter?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	His friends( so far as I know) are resigned to it —""Well?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How am I to help you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How are you to arrive at that result?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How are you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How came you to speak to her, to begin with?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How can I be sure whether I am or am not his lawful wife?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How can I live, knowing what I know- and knowing no more?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How could I do that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How could I keep my temper, unless I kept as much as possible out of the way of private interviews with her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How courd she do it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How dare you touch Me?'"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How dare you touch my chair?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How did an outside stranger, like you, come to suspect her?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How did he come to this house?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How did you pick up with the Major?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How do you do, Eustace?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How had he passed through the interval of my absence from England?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How has Mrs. Beauly passed the night?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How is a man to hunt up evidence who is tied to this chair?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	How( I thought to myself) am I to examine all these books?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I am a lamb- why sacrifice me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I ask you again- what for?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I asked, cautiously,"Do you mean free for to- day?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I asked, gently,"when I find that my husband has not married me under his family name?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I cried,"does Eustace suppose that I doubt his innocence?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I firmly believe you will repent it if you return to that house,"Was ever a woman more plainly warned, more carefully advised, than I?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I followed my instructions, and read these words:"Can I trust myself to write of Valeria?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I had a little talk with him while you were away at the other end of the room, and I believe he really can be of use to me-""Of use to you in what?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I heard him say to himself,'What does this mean?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I heard him say-"can it be possible?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I said to Mr. Gale,'What is to be done, sir?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I said to Mrs. Macallan,'How comes the tea- cup to be broken, ma'am?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I said,'Do you feel pretty comfortable?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I said,'Have I the honor of speaking to Mr. Macallan, of Gleninch?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I said,'Surely you have n't been writing, ma'am?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I struggled- quite vainly-to say only these words:"What are you talking about?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I suppose there is some reason?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I suppose you asked him to introduce you to Dexter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I think I heard the name"( she turned to the landlady):"Mrs. Woodville, was it not?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I ventured to say,"What are those things, Mr. Dexter, and are we really going to eat them?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I wish your uncle Starkweather was here: I wonder what he would say?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I wonder whether that's the book you have been looking after?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I wonder whether we shall disagree about that too?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I wonder whether you would like her?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I'd better not let her in — had I?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	I- low could I hope to gain what was now the one object of my existence if I buried myself in a remote north- country village?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Ideas about her life?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If I had found out some other truth besides the truth about the name, would it have prevented me from ever returning to my husband?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If Mrs. Beauly is not the poisoner( either by herself or by her inaid), who is?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If it had, what did the association of the three initial letters mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If the house were to take fire, I wonder whether I should make an effort to save myself or to save her?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	If this is not the language of a woman shamelessly and furiously in love with a man- not her husband- what is?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	In that case, where( so far) was the husband's motive for poisoning her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	In the plainest terms I put the question to him:"What does your mother's conduct mean?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	In the wreck of the other faculties, was memory the last to sink?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	In unutterable distress and alarm I asked myself,"Is my husband beginning to deceive me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Insatiable curiosity( have you ever felt it?)
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is he the most insensible of living beings?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it a woman?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it no concern of mine when I hear your mother say, in so many words, that she pities your wife?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it one of the first three letters of the alphabet?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it possible that you suspect Mrs. Beauly too?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it possible,"I said,"that you doubt my belief in your innocence?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it rash to go to Maljor Fitz- David?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it very disgraceful to me to add that I privately determined( if the thing could be accomplished) to see Major Fitz- David in the interval?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is it your express wish,"he resumed,"that I should leave you here by yourself to search the room?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is my son to be so judged because he happens to have written his rash words, instead of speaking them?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is n't this rudeness rather remarkable on the part of a man who is a gentleman by birth and breeding, and who is also a friend of mine?'"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is she more beautiful than ever this morningr?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is she right?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is she young, Oliver?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is that the book?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is that the book?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is that understood?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is that what the Scotch Verdict means?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is the pain coming back again and paralyzing me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is the person within your reach?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is the suppression or the development of that wickedness a mere question of training and temptation?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there a common fund of wickedness in us all?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there any one else whom we can suspect?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there any thing I can do before I leave you again?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there any thing I can do for you, Valeria, before I go?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there any thing suspicious in that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there any thing that I can do for you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is there nothing to justify suspicion in such circumstances as these- circumstances sworn to, on the oaths of the witnesses?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is this a professional consultation?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is this one of my dreams?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is this the story, Master?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Is this your first visit to Edinburgh?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Long after I was taken ill?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	M?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	MIy sweet fiiend, what is your favorite autumn soup?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Macallan, have you forgotten already what we have both heard him say of me while we have been sitting by his bedside?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Macallan,"after those fiantic performances in his chair?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Madam?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Mamma Macallan,"he said,"what is the Christian name of your son's second wife?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May I ask,"he said,"if you have communicated to your husband the discovery which you have just mentioned to me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May I make mine?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	May I send you some more Champagne?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Mistress, what do I hear?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Mistress?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Mr. Benjamin, have I taken too much of your excellent wine?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Must I really tell you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	My dear Mrs. Eustace, which is it- do you want my advice?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	My poor innocent child,"she said,"is it possible you do n't know?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Near the light?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	No?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Not mad, after the exhibition he made of his unfortunate cousin?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Not mad, after the songr that he sang in your honor, and the falling asleep by way of conclusion?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Now do you understand?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Oh, my darling, why do you trifle with our love and our confidence in each other?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	On the other side, what had the Dean of Faculty proved?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	One of these days you may be queen here- who knows?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Or did I really see before me these words?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Or was he relieved?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Or was he simply exhausted in mind and body alike?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Or would he remember that my obstinacy still threatenecl him with reopening the inquiry into the tragedy at Gleninch?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Perhaps I may meet her at your house?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Placed between those two cruel alternatives, which could I choose?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Playmore saw such a prospect of succeeding in it that.he had actually volunteered to help me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Playmore?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	SECOND CORRESPONDENT:"How can you be so foolish, Sara, as to waste your love on such a cold- blooded brute as your husband seems to be?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Sail with him to the Mediterranean the next day?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Say,'What is the subject, mother?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall I confess that I took particular pains with my toilet, and that I kept the luncheon waiting?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall I guess why?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall I own it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall he show you how he does it, before he goes on with his story?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we ask him to send a chaise from Broadstairs to the gap in the cliff?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we have her at our little dinner?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we have my young prima donna to sing to us in the evening?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we interchange thoughts, surmises, suspicions?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we range together The mazes of tile past?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we sail to- morrow?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we say Lady Clarinda?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we say this day week,"asked the Major, taking out his pocket- book,"at eight o'clock?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we search together The secrets of the past?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shall we try that next, by way of variety?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	She controlled the rising regret, and turned on me suddenly, almost fiercely, with these words:"What, in God's name, do you mean to do?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	She reminds me of the lost; She reminds me of the dead: In her form like the other, In her walk like the other: WVhy does she come?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Shocking, is n't it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Should I be the gainer or the loser by the resemblance which he fancied he had discovered?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Show it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	So you are still fond of Eustace?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Some intimate fiiend of my husband's?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Suppose I applied to Major FitzDavid?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Suppose I followed Benjamin's advice?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Suppose we draw out the menu?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Suppose you were as fond of him as I am, and felt your position as bitterly as I feel it- what would you do?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Suppose you were shut out from Eustace's confidence, as I am?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Supposing that I could prevail upon myself to admit this extraordinary person into my confidence, what would be the result?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Surely I should be the last person admitted to the knowledge of such a secret of her toilet as that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Surely it was hard to bear this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	THE first question( Did the Woman Die Poisoned?)
miun.aan6316.0001.001	THIRD QUESTION- WHAT WAS HIS MOTIVE?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	TWVho could fathom him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Taking the doorway wall first, what was there, in the shape of furniture, on either side of it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Tell me- what has the Verdict to do with my husband's horrible doubt of us?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Tell us quick- what did the Mlissus say to the Maid?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	That's where the shoe pinches, do n't you see?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The Diary will hlang him?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The Story of a Mistress and a Maid?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The Verdict was Not Guilty, of course?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The corridor?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The hero of the great Poison Trial?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The house belonged to that Mr. Macallan who was afterward tried — you remember it, of course?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The idol of my worship, the companion, guide, protector of my life- had he fallen so low?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	The second question( Who Poisoned Her?)
miun.aan6316.0001.001	There now remained the third and final question — What was His Motive?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Third inquiry by Dexter( logical inquiry, on this occasion):'If she spoke to nobody, how do you know she is fatigued?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	This( need I say it?)
miun.aan6316.0001.001	To look about in this room- for what?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	To sip the wine once more?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	To what plain conclusion do they point?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Trials?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Valeria?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	W- hy not Mistress and Maid?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	WVas she his sister, after all?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	WVhy had I hesitated to sacrifice to him my hopes and my interests in the coming investigation?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Walk?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Want a cab?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was Dexter the man to forgive that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was I too easily satisfied?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was he comparing me with the victim of the poison- with my husband's first wife?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was he disappointed?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was he really trying to renew my suspicions of Mrs. Beauly, as Mr. Playmore had foretold?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was he referring to Eustace?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was he the Judge and Jury both, I should like to know?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was he thinking exclusively'of me- as I was thinking exclusively of him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it a sleep?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it for him to decide?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it for nothing that I warned you, solemnly warned you, to draw back, when I found you bent on discovering the truth?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it my husband?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it not worth the visit to Edinburgh to have made sure of that?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it possible that my first jealous instinct had led me to the right conclusion after all?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it possible to interpret them- to any useful purpose?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it really possible — in spite of his mother's opposition to our marriage- that we were Man and Wife?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it reviving courage or reviving curiosity?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it some new thought that had struck him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it something I had read?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was it something I had seen during my visit to Gleninch?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was one of those two vases the vase that had been brolken?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was she going to kiss it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was she in earnest?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was she on her way to give the first dose of poison when she passed me in the corridor?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was some new trial of my patience and my fortitude at hand?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was that testimony forthcoming?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was that what he meant?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the company of the sailing- master and the steward better than no company at all?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the counsel for the defense not at the end of his resources yet?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the end so near as this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the man whom I had enshrined in my heart of hearts capable of such base wickedness as the bar,: idea of his marriage to another woman implied?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the shadow of a doubt of him beginning to rise in my mind?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the stimulant beginning to fail him already?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the truth, the dreadful truth, glimmering on me dimly through the awful shadow cast before it by the advancing eclipse of the brain?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was the way to discovery about to reveal itself to me through this girl?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there any thing more to examine on that side of the room?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there ever such a puzzle of a man as this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there ever such an absurd letter written yet?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there ever such stuff?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there one word of truth in all that he had said to me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there something hanging over it, on the other side?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Was there the faintest chance of the stricken man's return to reason?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Well, and when you have read the Trial- what then?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Well?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Were any of my husband's sisters married?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What about the letter?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What am I to do with her?-that's the serious question- what on earth am I to do with her?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What are we coming to?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What are you looking at?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What are you to do?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What book do you want?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What can Eustace be made of?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What can I do?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What can I say?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What can your motive possibly be for wanting an introduction to MIiserrimus Dexter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What could I do?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What dead and buried remembrances had I brought to life in him, in all their olden horror?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did I feel on my cheek?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did I know about him or his thoughts?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did I say to him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did he say?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did lie mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did the Missus say to the Maid?"'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did the wedding- ring mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did those words mean?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What did- I feel on my cheek?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you care whether I sleep well or ill?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	What do you mean by your'right name?"'

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why ca n't he see it too?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why did n't he trust you with his secret from the first, instead of stealing his way into your affections under an assumed name?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why did n't you own it before?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why did you ask me that question just now?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why do I trouble you with an old woman's vain misgivings and regrets?

miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why had she left us, as if the bare idea of remaining in our company was abhllorrent to her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why have you let three years pass without doing it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why is his innocence not proved?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why not Mrs. Beauly?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why not perform it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why should he not trust the story of his troubles to you as well?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why was Eustace not with me, like the rest of them?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why was I not old too?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why, my charming friend, profane your lips by talking of such things?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Why?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will it one dav end with me as the jury half feared that it ended with her?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you accept my apologies if I am rude enough to allow you to fetch it for yourself?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you come here to- morrow in the daytime?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you come to me and forgive me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you give me five minutes?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you kindly consider my position?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you kindly waive all ceremony, and dine with us and go to the music afterward?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you leave it to me to discover something more worthy of us'?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you let me ask you if you have been twice married, and if the name of your first husband was Woodville?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you look at your watch?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will you think over what has passed between us, and will you come back to me in the morning?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Will your uncle believe me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Wo n't you sit down?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Woodville?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Woodville?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Would he wander away into the regions of wild romance?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Would the sight of me console him or pain him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Would the sight of me remind him of the words that had passed between us not a minute since?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Would you believe there was latent intelligence, affection, pride, fidelity, in such a half- developed being as this?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Would you like to let any body else do it for vou?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Would you please tell Mr. Macallan, and send for the doctor?'
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Yes or No?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	Yes?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You are not beginning to be discouraged already?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You do n't expect Mle to introduce you to him, I hope?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You do n't mean it,"he said,"do you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You do n't really believe that lie shared your suspicions?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You do n't wish to sail just yet, as I understand?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You hear how the Major speaks to me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You leave?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You look as if you thought I was occupying your chair?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You love him?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You mean that place?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You remember?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You see how it is?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You tell me I am prying into affairs which are yours only?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You understand me, I am sure?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You understand me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You want time?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You will listen to Mr. Playmore, wo n't you, though you would n't listen to me?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You will say to yourself,'Did it begin, in her time, with a harsh word from him and with a hasty reply from her?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You will wonder, as I did, how it was that Dexter did n't make mischief in the morning?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You wo n't be angry, Eustace, if I tell you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	You wo n't latgh at'Miserrimus'again, will you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	and had he guessed?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	and not quite satisfied that my husband was innocent?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	and what did she do with them?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	and what's the sign for Leave off?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	and where was the presumption of the prisoner's guilt?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	and would he set his cunning at work to mislead me by some new stratagem?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	aye?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	aye?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	aye?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	can you guess what it is?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	could he stoop to such shameless prevarication as this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	cried my uncle, in his loudest and cheeriest tones,"you have forgotten your own name already?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	he said-"Mistress or Maid?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	he whispered,"what is the matter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	him?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	hlad I any right to take advantage of this accident, and open the book?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	how can you marry a man who is an object of suspicion to your nearest and dearest friends?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	ignorance of this?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	in the rough gardener who had carried him out so gently on the previous night?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	is he acting a part, and acting it badly, before we have been married a week?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	is the heat of the fire too much for you?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	jamin, why does she persist in dwelling on that dreadful subject?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or about her death?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or do I want yours?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or in dread of consequences to himself?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or some lost thought that he had recovered?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or to bite it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or was it a swoon?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or would renewed hand- digging yield more yet?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	or would you prefer that Mr. Playmore should see your husband, and act for you in the matter?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	said Benjamin,"what's the sign for Begin?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	so harshly and pitilessly resolute in asserting her disapproval- of our marriage?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	to open your whole mind to such a man as the man we have just left?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	was I looking at the portrait of a rival in my husband's affections- and was that rival his Wife?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	what is to be done?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	what new transformation of him was passing before my eyes?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	what opera is the young lady singing firom?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	what?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	what?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	where are your spectacles?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	where is the story?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	why Damoride?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	why did you torture me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	will your friends believe me?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	you have learned to dress my hair and anoint my beard, have n't you?"
miun.aan6316.0001.001	you have n't got it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	you never use it?
miun.aan6316.0001.001	— hopping about on his hands( did you ever see it?
nyp.33433074861273	A little more wine?
nyp.33433074861273	Abundance of malice; but I do n't think he's coun- tenanced?
nyp.33433074861273	Am I? nyp.33433074861273 And how do you do — quite well, Jim — and out of place?
nyp.33433074861273	And how have you been, Radie?
nyp.33433074861273	And is it from the abyss, sir, he writes his letters?
nyp.33433074861273	And keep the hall door shut and bolted?
nyp.33433074861273	And pray, Lady Chelford, what do you think of Mr. Mark Wylder?
nyp.33433074861273	And pray, what does she want you to do, Stanley?
nyp.33433074861273	And so,said the Captain, coming to a stand- still,"I'll bid you good- bye, Larkin; what stay, I forgot to ask, do you make in town?"
nyp.33433074861273	And was there no more?
nyp.33433074861273	And what do you call this place?
nyp.33433074861273	And what do you propose, then?
nyp.33433074861273	And what do you want of me now?
nyp.33433074861273	And what reason can you give?'' nyp.33433074861273 And when does he return?"
nyp.33433074861273	And where is poor Billy quartered?
nyp.33433074861273	And would that arrangement of Mr. Wylder's have satisfied the conditions of the will?
nyp.33433074861273	And you do n't think you could have persuaded your- self to repeat that little charm, which obtained her boon of his horses straitway?.
nyp.33433074861273	And — and any news in that quarter of Mr. Mark Wylder — any — any surmise? nyp.33433074861273 Are you better, Dorcas?"
nyp.33433074861273	Are you better, dear?
nyp.33433074861273	Are you ill, Dorkie, darling?
nyp.33433074861273	Are you looking for anything, Willie, darling? nyp.33433074861273 Are you well, dear?"
nyp.33433074861273	Beaten—"three votes — how the devil was that?
nyp.33433074861273	Been in Calcutta, Captain Lake?
nyp.33433074861273	Better to- day, Tamar?
nyp.33433074861273	But do you happen, Captain Lake, to know of any of those unfortunate, those miserable con- nections which young gentlemen of fashion — eh? nyp.33433074861273 But do you think Mr. Larkin really supposes that poor Mark is dead?"
nyp.33433074861273	But he'll not hear it;/ wo n't tell him, and you sha n't; because I do n't think it would be prudent of us — do you? nyp.33433074861273 But how can you show it?"
nyp.33433074861273	But how is he?
nyp.33433074861273	But tell me, Stanley, how do you want to apply money? nyp.33433074861273 But what is it?"
nyp.33433074861273	But, my dear sir, do you really mean to say that you would pay claims from various quarters — how old is this, for instance? nyp.33433074861273 By- and- by; what do you think of Larkin?"
nyp.33433074861273	By- the- bye, Wylder, you know the pictures here; who is the tall man, with the long, pale face, and wild, phos- phoric eyes? nyp.33433074861273 Call me Rachel: and wo n't you let me call you Dol- ly?"
nyp.33433074861273	Can I conjecture why he is gone?
nyp.33433074861273	Can I do anything, Radie? nyp.33433074861273 Can I?
nyp.33433074861273	Certainly; shall I ask my mother, or will you write?
nyp.33433074861273	Come, Stanley, what do you want?
nyp.33433074861273	Come, Tamar, what do you want of me?
nyp.33433074861273	D — it where's the note?
nyp.33433074861273	Did I? nyp.33433074861273 Did either Miss Lake or the Captain use the word mad- house?"
nyp.33433074861273	Did he wish to see no one?
nyp.33433074861273	Did not you know I was there?
nyp.33433074861273	Did you see Stanley? nyp.33433074861273 Did you see that?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you think he might take steps to relieve him- self considerably?
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you think it had best go at once? nyp.33433074861273 Do n't you think possibly Mark Wylder might think us very impertinent?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you think, Rachel, remembering what I have confided to you, that you might be franker with me in this?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you mean to say you actually think he's shut up in a mad- house at this moment?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you recollect, Radie, what I said that morning when I first called here, and saw you?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you remember Miss Beauchamp, Radie?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you think it's true, sir?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you think, Lady Chelford, it may be safely con- tracted, solely to join two estates?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you want to wake your people up?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you wish another game?
nyp.33433074861273	Does he really think that Stanley will recover?
nyp.33433074861273	Does he say anything?
nyp.33433074861273	Does he?
nyp.33433074861273	Does little Dorkie love me?
nyp.33433074861273	Does she like you?
nyp.33433074861273	Dorcas, darling, you are certainly ill. What is the matter?'' nyp.33433074861273 Dorcas, you are changed; have I lost your love for asking so poor a kindness?"
nyp.33433074861273	Foul play. — is there? nyp.33433074861273 Ha, is n't he?
nyp.33433074861273	Had you been thinking of him lately?
nyp.33433074861273	Handsome, but so noisy and foolish, and wicked; and is not he vulgar, too?
nyp.33433074861273	Has he lost his wits? nyp.33433074861273 Has he spoken to any one?"
nyp.33433074861273	Has she got your mistress's directions?
nyp.33433074861273	Have you ever seen Pawl's Eleven play?
nyp.33433074861273	Have you observed how Dorcas has treated me this evening?
nyp.33433074861273	Have you really come all this way, Rachel, to see me this evening?
nyp.33433074861273	He bears a good character among the townspeople, dosn't he? nyp.33433074861273 He has not appointed another man of business?"
nyp.33433074861273	He is distressed for money? nyp.33433074861273 He looks better — a little better, do n't you think; just a little better?"
nyp.33433074861273	He will certainly not go, poor fellow, before four o'clock P. M., I dare say — eh?
nyp.33433074861273	How are you, Lake? nyp.33433074861273 How could they have miscalculated so?
nyp.33433074861273	How d'ye do, dear Larkin?
nyp.33433074861273	How do you do, Margery? nyp.33433074861273 How do you do, old Ruddle — quite well?"
nyp.33433074861273	How do you do? nyp.33433074861273 How far is the junction?"
nyp.33433074861273	How is Rachel? nyp.33433074861273 How is he, Dorcas?"
nyp.33433074861273	How long is all this to go on for, Master Stanley?
nyp.33433074861273	How the — could he tell? nyp.33433074861273 I believe, Charlie,"he re- commenced suddenly,"there is not such an unnatural family on record as ours; is there?
nyp.33433074861273	I do n't think, Rachel dear, you heard me?
nyp.33433074861273	I say,said Stanley, addressing the keeper, whom by a beck he had brought to his side,"you do n't allow him, surely, to go alone now?"
nyp.33433074861273	I suppose the world thinks me a very happy fellow, Miss Lake?
nyp.33433074861273	I used to be brave; my courage I think is gone; but who'd have imagined what's before me?
nyp.33433074861273	I was there, and Hockley was there, and Mark Wylder was there — was not he?
nyp.33433074861273	I wonder what they'll think of it at Brandon?
nyp.33433074861273	I — I — yes — I have — have you an engine here? nyp.33433074861273 I've a lot of fellows with me; they've just run into luncheon; wo n't you take something?"
nyp.33433074861273	I, Radie?
nyp.33433074861273	I? nyp.33433074861273 In none of your conversations upon the subject with — with members of your family?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is Larcom there?
nyp.33433074861273	Is Lord Chelford with him?
nyp.33433074861273	Is he so very odd?
nyp.33433074861273	Is he?
nyp.33433074861273	Is it thought the writs will follow the disso- lution unusually quickly?
nyp.33433074861273	Is there a Wylder vault here, Captain Brandon Lake?
nyp.33433074861273	Is there any vacant bedroom near where you have placed him? nyp.33433074861273 Just for the sake of her estate — it's the way of the world, of course, and all that — but, is not it a little bit shabby, do n't you think?
nyp.33433074861273	Just so; and what do you found your opinion about Mr. Mark Wylder on?
nyp.33433074861273	Lake? nyp.33433074861273 Marriage?
nyp.33433074861273	Maybe he has return- ed?
nyp.33433074861273	Maybe, Rachel dear, you would like to drive a little?
nyp.33433074861273	Miss Beauchamp? nyp.33433074861273 Monstrous hot, sir — hey?
nyp.33433074861273	Moore's is a daring morality — what do you think for instance, of these lines?
nyp.33433074861273	No good story — hey? nyp.33433074861273 No headache or fever?"
nyp.33433074861273	No, Stanley; nothing unusual is there?
nyp.33433074861273	No? nyp.33433074861273 No?
nyp.33433074861273	Nor to come into any place but this — the park, I mean?
nyp.33433074861273	Not asleep?
nyp.33433074861273	Not poor William Wylder?
nyp.33433074861273	Not schoolfellows — you are not an Eton, man, eh?''
nyp.33433074861273	Now, Radie, you must be reasonable — who have I to advise with?
nyp.33433074861273	Now, Willie dear, do you hear that — do you hear what she says?
nyp.33433074861273	Objection? nyp.33433074861273 Of Mark?
nyp.33433074861273	Oh, Lake Avernus is it?
nyp.33433074861273	Oh, is there?
nyp.33433074861273	Oh, yes; and how do you do, Mr. Larcom? nyp.33433074861273 Oh?"
nyp.33433074861273	Oh?'
nyp.33433074861273	Or a mystery — or even a dream?
nyp.33433074861273	Or an elopement?
nyp.33433074861273	Or any other word — lunatic asylum, or a — bedlam) or — or any other word meaning the same thing?
nyp.33433074861273	Or the other thing, eh?
nyp.33433074861273	Perhaps,said Mr. Larkin, blandly,"you would permit me to look at the letter you mention having re- ceived from the solicitors at Cambridge?"
nyp.33433074861273	Quite so,said Lake, quietly;"and where is the no- tice he speaks of here?"
nyp.33433074861273	Rachel, Rachel, is it possible?
nyp.33433074861273	Radie not come yet?
nyp.33433074861273	Red ink?
nyp.33433074861273	Returned?
nyp.33433074861273	Satisfactory, I hope?
nyp.33433074861273	Saturday, is it? nyp.33433074861273 Shall we put it off for a little?
nyp.33433074861273	She has not cost me much?
nyp.33433074861273	She quite believes her mistress is up stairs — eh?
nyp.33433074861273	Sir Harry who?
nyp.33433074861273	Sir Julius Hockley? nyp.33433074861273 Smith?
nyp.33433074861273	So I was; but I arrived here this morning; I'm stay- ing for a few days at the Lodge — Larkin's house; you're going home, I suppose, Radie?
nyp.33433074861273	So that being understood — eh? nyp.33433074861273 So you are going to London — to- morrow, is not it?"
nyp.33433074861273	Stanley, dear, what's the matter, in Heaven's name?
nyp.33433074861273	Surely she is woman enough to be fussed a little about her marriage?
nyp.33433074861273	That ballad, you know, expresses it very prettily: —Oh, thou hast been the cause of this anguish, my mother?
nyp.33433074861273	That? nyp.33433074861273 The eighth — is not it?
nyp.33433074861273	The limitations, let me see, is not there something that one might, be safe in advancing a trifle upon — eh? nyp.33433074861273 The man, sir, as you left a note for yesterday, which he desires to see you?"
nyp.33433074861273	Then I am to understand, my Lord, that I am super- seded in the management of this case?
nyp.33433074861273	Then you did not mean to insult me, sir?
nyp.33433074861273	This is Brandon?
nyp.33433074861273	This place, I suppose, is confoundedly slow, is not it? nyp.33433074861273 This room, Stanley, dear?"
nyp.33433074861273	Upon your honor?
nyp.33433074861273	Very honest fellows, with good looking after — ch?
nyp.33433074861273	Very impertinent; yes, indeed, Stanley, and so I shall continue to be until—"Pray how does it concern you?
nyp.33433074861273	Very weak? nyp.33433074861273 Waiting there?"
nyp.33433074861273	Was Lord Chelford coming?
nyp.33433074861273	Well the next, possibly, I hope?
nyp.33433074861273	Well, Dorkie, love, what's the matter?
nyp.33433074861273	Well, Larkin, how d'ye do? nyp.33433074861273 Well, Radie, I know you mean me; but as you wish it, I'll carry my fangs elsewhere; — and what has become of Will Wylder?"
nyp.33433074861273	Well, Tamar, how do you do? nyp.33433074861273 Well, Tamar, where's your story?"
nyp.33433074861273	Well, things do turn out very oddly; do n't they?
nyp.33433074861273	Well, what is he doing, and when does he come back? nyp.33433074861273 Well, you know best; but are not there resources?"
nyp.33433074861273	Well?
nyp.33433074861273	Were you of age, my dear sir, when he gave you these books on credit?
nyp.33433074861273	What ails her — is she ill, Master Stanley?
nyp.33433074861273	What are you doing here, sir?
nyp.33433074861273	What are you laughing at?
nyp.33433074861273	What can she see in him? nyp.33433074861273 What can that mean?"
nyp.33433074861273	What day of the month is this?'' nyp.33433074861273 What do I think of marriage?"
nyp.33433074861273	What do you call this, your boudoir or parlor?
nyp.33433074861273	What do you laugh at, Charlie?
nyp.33433074861273	What election, dear?
nyp.33433074861273	What is it, Rachel, darling?
nyp.33433074861273	What the d — has he come down here for? nyp.33433074861273 What the devil are you talking about?'"
nyp.33433074861273	What the devil difficulty caw there be, sir? nyp.33433074861273 What the devil do you mean, woman?"
nyp.33433074861273	What the devil is it? nyp.33433074861273 What then?"
nyp.33433074861273	What's that?
nyp.33433074861273	What's that?
nyp.33433074861273	What's your quarrel? nyp.33433074861273 When do you mean to pay Dawlings that bet on the Derby?"
nyp.33433074861273	Where is he, darling — where is Stanley?
nyp.33433074861273	Where is he? nyp.33433074861273 Who can this be?"
nyp.33433074861273	Who hare you got iu the rooms?
nyp.33433074861273	Who is that?
nyp.33433074861273	Who knows? nyp.33433074861273 Who — what — what is it?"
nyp.33433074861273	Who's on the oiher side?
nyp.33433074861273	Who's that?
nyp.33433074861273	Who's that?
nyp.33433074861273	Who's there?
nyp.33433074861273	Who's there?
nyp.33433074861273	Who? nyp.33433074861273 Who?"
nyp.33433074861273	Why could you not leave me in peace, Stanley?
nyp.33433074861273	Why do n't you ask Rachel, she's cleverer than I. and you are more in the habit of consulting her?
nyp.33433074861273	Why do you come so softly, Tamar? nyp.33433074861273 Why do you talk that way?
nyp.33433074861273	Why should not he do as well as another? nyp.33433074861273 Why should you, though?
nyp.33433074861273	Why — what has Sir Harry done? nyp.33433074861273 Why, d — it, it ca n't be helped now; can it?"
nyp.33433074861273	Why, d — you, Tamar, ca n't you listen?
nyp.33433074861273	Why, my dearest, what on earth could put such a wild fancy in your head?
nyp.33433074861273	Why, you have not sold out?
nyp.33433074861273	Will you come with me for a drive, Radie?
nyp.33433074861273	Will you dance this set — are you engaged, Miss Brandon?
nyp.33433074861273	Will you give me just a minute Mr. De Cresseron, in the drawing- room, while I show you a miniature? nyp.33433074861273 Will you take me for your footman as far as the town?"
nyp.33433074861273	William Wyldcr is not selling his reversion?
nyp.33433074861273	William was always a very clever fellow to talk — very well read in theology — is not he? nyp.33433074861273 Wo n't you sit down?"
nyp.33433074861273	Would you like a messenger? nyp.33433074861273 Yes — signal — stop him, can you?"
nyp.33433074861273	Yes, dear Stanley, much better; but why should you suppose any plot against our title?
nyp.33433074861273	You are a worshipper of Tom Moore, Miss Lake?
nyp.33433074861273	You are my man of business — are n't you? nyp.33433074861273 You are staying at Brandon?"
nyp.33433074861273	You did, did you? nyp.33433074861273 You do n't think there's any, really serious annoyance — you do n't know the party?"
nyp.33433074861273	You drove Mr. Wylder to Dollington?
nyp.33433074861273	You had better write your prophecies in your room, sir — had not you? nyp.33433074861273 You have heard, of course, of Mr. Wylder's absence?"
nyp.33433074861273	You have your papers?
nyp.33433074861273	You knew quite well last night there was to be this wicked duel in the morning — and you — a magistrate — a lord lieutenant — what are you? nyp.33433074861273 You know Captain Lake?"
nyp.33433074861273	You know me — eh?
nyp.33433074861273	You mean just now? nyp.33433074861273 You seem to be very sensible, Mr. De Cresseron; pray tell me, frankly, what do you think of all this?"
nyp.33433074861273	You sit up stairs chiefly?
nyp.33433074861273	You'll come then?
nyp.33433074861273	You'll not be angry, Master Stanley, dear? nyp.33433074861273 You'll not wait for the division on Trawler's mc- tion?"
nyp.33433074861273	You've a headache, Miss Radio?
nyp.33433074861273	'"I do n't know; but I think he mentioned Larkin'a house, did n't he?
nyp.33433074861273	''What is he to do, Rachel?"
nyp.33433074861273	-"What is it?"
nyp.33433074861273	17 know her brother, a little — that is Captain Lake — Stan- ley Lake; he's her brother, I fancy?"
nyp.33433074861273	23"What thing?
nyp.33433074861273	240 WYLDEWS HAJVD"Think he'll do then?"
nyp.33433074861273	285 What object could he gain, for instance, by the fib he had just told me?
nyp.33433074861273	291"Who is he?"
nyp.33433074861273	35J"They have come about law business, Dolly?"
nyp.33433074861273	461"What body?"
nyp.33433074861273	7'm not half good enough for such company — and the place is growing rather cold — is it not?"
nyp.33433074861273	79 in, when I saw that long- chinned apparition of the pale portrait?
nyp.33433074861273	?
nyp.33433074861273	All on a sudden Dorcas Brandon said —"And pray what do you think of marriage, Lady Chel- ford?"
nyp.33433074861273	And I think she offered up a little thanksgiving she so longed to give him his tea herself: and then she asked —"Is our precious mannikin asleep?"
nyp.33433074861273	And does it not strike you that my staying here, on the contrary, would — would tend to prevent the kind of conversation you speak of?"
nyp.33433074861273	And now, dear,"she said, after a little pause,"you'll remember your solemn pro- mise?"
nyp.33433074861273	And pray how do you amuse yourself here?
nyp.33433074861273	And what is Smith doing or saying?"
nyp.33433074861273	And what is this job of Martin's?
nyp.33433074861273	And why not, dear?
nyp.33433074861273	And — and how are the family at Brandon — all well, I trust?"
nyp.33433074861273	And, I suppose, Captain Lake, you received my note?"
nyp.33433074861273	Anything about Baikes's lease?"
nyp.33433074861273	Are any of your people going to Brandon this morning?"
nyp.33433074861273	Are you better?"
nyp.33433074861273	Are you certain?
nyp.33433074861273	Are you coming to Brandon this* evening?
nyp.33433074861273	Are you ill, Dorkie?"
nyp.33433074861273	Are you in his secrets at all?"
nyp.33433074861273	At last she placed the picture in my hand, and asked,"Is this really very like her?"
nyp.33433074861273	But do n't these very wise things sometimes turn out very foolishly?
nyp.33433074861273	But does Stanley — he can hardly hope?"
nyp.33433074861273	But there was something not alto- gether joyous in Jos Larkin's countenance, which struck the Vicar, and he said —"You do n't see any objection?"
nyp.33433074861273	But what can I say — how can I thank you?"
nyp.33433074861273	But who in this wide- awake world was bet- ter able to take care of himself than the gallant Captain?
nyp.33433074861273	But you are not to go to the Brandon Arms — you got my note, did n't you?"
nyp.33433074861273	But you do n't know?"
nyp.33433074861273	By- the- by, are you anything of a cricketer?
nyp.33433074861273	Can I do any- thing, Captain Lake, for you while in town?"
nyp.33433074861273	Can I have mistaken the name?"
nyp.33433074861273	Can you conjecture where his address may now be?"
nyp.33433074861273	Can you conjecture why he is gone?"
nyp.33433074861273	Can you tell by the sky when it is holiday in hell?
nyp.33433074861273	Chelford, and I thank you,"said Miss Brandon, coldly; and she seated herself, and continued —"Pray, what does the Doctor really say?"
nyp.33433074861273	Come in and have a chop, will you?"
nyp.33433074861273	Come now — will you?
nyp.33433074861273	Come, I say, what is it?"
nyp.33433074861273	Come, Rachel, shall we escape from the spell and the destiny into solitude?
nyp.33433074861273	Could it be Stanley?
nyp.33433074861273	Could this be the heroine of the pending alliance?
nyp.33433074861273	D'ye see — hey?"
nyp.33433074861273	Did he tell the family at Brandon?"
nyp.33433074861273	Did the same idea never strike you?"
nyp.33433074861273	Did you ever see anything so bee- utiful in your life?
nyp.33433074861273	Did you ever see so pushing a brute?"
nyp.33433074861273	Did you see him looking up?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't keep looking at me; look at something else, ca n't you?
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't they often affect indifference, and occasionally even aversion, where there is a different sort of feeling?
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you know very well, in a small place like this, they are all alive with curiosity?
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you remem- ber Robin Hood?
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you remem- ber'Rasselas?'"
nyp.33433074861273	Do n't you think so?
nyp.33433074861273	Do they entertain the neighbors ever at Brandon?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do they know anything very bad — are you in their power?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you happen to know a person at all versed in Gylingden mat- ters — or, perhaps, a member of your club — named Smith?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you know anything of him?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you know him?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you know his club, Captain Lake?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you know, you frightened me?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you know?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you mean that?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you play?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you promise?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you really think your friend, Mr. Wylder, cares about me?"
nyp.33433074861273	Do you suppose I'm quite demented?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you think they would ever have got their title by any other means?
nyp.33433074861273	Do you think you could ever like me?"
nyp.33433074861273	Does he mean he'll be here in a week or only to have the papers ready in a week?"
nyp.33433074861273	Does he speak to you?"
nyp.33433074861273	Does she say where she is staying, or her son?"
nyp.33433074861273	Dorcas looked down and smiled oddly; it was a sad and bitter smile, and seemed to ask whither has that desperate love, in so short a time, flown?
nyp.33433074861273	Dorcas returned her gaze with one of haughty amaze- ment; and Rachel said,"Well, Dorcas, you promise?"
nyp.33433074861273	Eh?
nyp.33433074861273	Eh?"
nyp.33433074861273	H5"Do I think it may safely be contracted, solely to join two estates?"
nyp.33433074861273	Had Lord Chelford been invoked, and answered satisfactorily?
nyp.33433074861273	Had he been there to- day?
nyp.33433074861273	Had it actually occurred, that strange confession of Dorcas Brandon's?
nyp.33433074861273	Had n't you a. letter from his mother lately?
nyp.33433074861273	Had she overheard a part of that unworthy talk of Wylder's at the dinner- table, the day before, and mistaken Rachel's share in the dialogue?
nyp.33433074861273	Had you not better enquire, Mr. Crutch- leigh; it would seem we have made a mistake?"
nyp.33433074861273	Had you not better go down to speak to your friend in the water?"
nyp.33433074861273	Had you not better turn back to Gyling- den, or the Lodge, or wherever you mean to pass the eve- ing, and leave me to my quiet walk and my solitude?"
nyp.33433074861273	Has there been any real confidence, Captain Lake, upon your part?
nyp.33433074861273	Have not you read of straining at gnats and swallowing camels?
nyp.33433074861273	Have you any idea what they quarreled about?"
nyp.33433074861273	Have you considered it?"
nyp.33433074861273	Have you seen it, Captain Lake?"
nyp.33433074861273	He glanced aside at the tarn where I had seen the phantom, and by which their path now led them —"You remember Par- nell's pretty image?
nyp.33433074861273	He had made a still better pur- chase from the Vicar; but what would have become of the V icar if he had not been raised up to purchase?
nyp.33433074861273	He has been three nights together without once putting off his clothes — think of that?"
nyp.33433074861273	He told me all about it; did not you, lit- tle man?
nyp.33433074861273	Hey?
nyp.33433074861273	His lips stirred and his throat, but he did not speak until a second effort brought utterance, and he murmured,"Is that you, Radio?"
nyp.33433074861273	Hockley is a very pretty place, is it not?"
nyp.33433074861273	How are you, William?"
nyp.33433074861273	How can you go on with it?"
nyp.33433074861273	How could he have overlooked that?
nyp.33433074861273	How could she tell what it might or might not portend?
nyp.33433074861273	How could that ill- omened man have divined her connection with the incidents of that direful night?
nyp.33433074861273	How could you — how could you, Stanley?"
nyp.33433074861273	How dared her husband mask from her what he confided to another?
nyp.33433074861273	How did it happen — oh, how?
nyp.33433074861273	How do you do, Lake; when did you come?"
nyp.33433074861273	How do you mean, Lar- com?"
nyp.33433074861273	How long since that cold crystal had glowed with the ripples of wine?
nyp.33433074861273	How long was it since lips had touched its brim before, and whose?
nyp.33433074861273	How long, you say, was Jack's sword?
nyp.33433074861273	How on earth do you get over the day, and, worse still, the evenings?"
nyp.33433074861273	How soon will the doctor be here?"
nyp.33433074861273	I am — I think I am — a little nervous, darling, and you wo n't leave me?"
nyp.33433074861273	I beg you'll collect yourself — shall I call for water, Miss Lake?"
nyp.33433074861273	I do n't know anything about him, and I do know you — do n't you see?
nyp.33433074861273	I do n't think I'd make a good husband to any woman I did not fancy, and where's the good of making a girl unhappy, eh?"
nyp.33433074861273	I do not know in the least what had passed before, but Lake said —"How the devil did he come in?"
nyp.33433074861273	I happen to know what Mark Wylder would have done — for he spoke very fiercely on the sub- ject — perhaps he consulted you?"
nyp.33433074861273	I only want to ex- plain it, and get your advice, and any little assistance you can give me; and surely that is not unreasonable?"
nyp.33433074861273	I play and sing for old Tamar — why did not you ask how she is?
nyp.33433074861273	I really ca n't suspect so monstrous a thing; but, unquestion- ably, a letter has been lost — and who's to take it?"
nyp.33433074861273	I really think I have brought my little evidences very prettily together, and jumped to a right conclusion — eh?"
nyp.33433074861273	I s'pose, sir, you were viewing the body?"
nyp.33433074861273	I say, old fellow, come out and have a weed, will you?"
nyp.33433074861273	I was not thinking of that; but William Wylder was different; and he did not mention me either?"
nyp.33433074861273	I'll come to- morrow and tell yea exactly — maybe to- morrow evening — will that do?
nyp.33433074861273	I'll consult Larkin — shall • I?
nyp.33433074861273	I'll go and see you — upon my honor I will — to- morrow, or next day, at the Dell; what's the good of stopping me here?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is Wylder at all definite as to when we may ex- pect his return?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is he very much hurt?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is it Lady Macbeth?
nyp.33433074861273	Is it Martin of the China Kilns, or Martin of the Bank?
nyp.33433074861273	Is it a dream?
nyp.33433074861273	Is it anything about marriage?
nyp.33433074861273	Is it night yet?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is it not so?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is not it melancholy?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is not it odd?
nyp.33433074861273	Is not it sad?"
nyp.33433074861273	Is that you, Lake?
nyp.33433074861273	It gets him all the religious business of the county; I dare say it brings him in two or three hundred a year, eh?"
nyp.33433074861273	It is dangerous, do n't you see?
nyp.33433074861273	It is such a 56 WYLDER'S darling little thing; and — look now — is not it magnifi- cent?"
nyp.33433074861273	It's all d — d nonsense keeping him here — did you see him at the door?
nyp.33433074861273	Lady Chelford and Miss Brandon, I suppose, in the drawing- room?''
nyp.33433074861273	Lake addressed the driver- —"You come from Johnson's Hotel — do n't you — at Dollington?"
nyp.33433074861273	Little Fairy was asking him a question all this time, very vehemently,"How long was Jack's sword that he killed the giants with?"
nyp.33433074861273	Look at it, do, Mr. Wylder — is n't it like the ace of hearts?"
nyp.33433074861273	Lots of rats, I fancy, Radie, behind that wainscoting?
nyp.33433074861273	Lovers', maybe, and how?
nyp.33433074861273	Luk?
nyp.33433074861273	Maddock?"
nyp.33433074861273	Mark?"
nyp.33433074861273	May I say you'll come?"
nyp.33433074861273	May I see Wyl- der's note — that is, if there's no private business?"
nyp.33433074861273	May one hear it?"
nyp.33433074861273	May we go into the drawing- room?
nyp.33433074861273	Miss Brandon looked down, and then, with a pale gaze, suddenly in Chelford's face —"He thinks he may die?"
nyp.33433074861273	Mr. Majk Wylder, perhaps, you refer to?"
nyp.33433074861273	Mr. Wylder refuses to execute the deed of sale?"
nyp.33433074861273	Much hurt, old boy?
nyp.33433074861273	Nothing for me, by the way?"
nyp.33433074861273	Now, the plain question is, do you wish to retain my services?"
nyp.33433074861273	Oh, Stanley, in mercy, tell me was there any other engagement?"
nyp.33433074861273	Oh, then where is my son?
nyp.33433074861273	Oh, where was he to turn?
nyp.33433074861273	Once again, do you promise?"
nyp.33433074861273	One's judgment matures, and we are harder to please — do n't you think so?
nyp.33433074861273	Or Dorcas — or had Lake, the diabolical sneak, interposed with his long purse, and a plausible hy- pocrisy of kindness, to spoil Larkin's plans?
nyp.33433074861273	Or within the last week?
nyp.33433074861273	Quite well, I hope?
nyp.33433074861273	Shall I get some water from your room?"
nyp.33433074861273	Shall I take you to the supper- room?"
nyp.33433074861273	Shall I tell you?"
nyp.33433074861273	She was constantly hinting something of the kind; and begging of him to make a disclosure of what?
nyp.33433074861273	Should he live to see the evening?
nyp.33433074861273	So you wo n't be frightened?"
nyp.33433074861273	So"—"Do they say that Mark is married?
nyp.33433074861273	St. Ange could not wait until he had laid them down, but broke out with — Oh, mi Lor!—qu'est- il arrive?
nyp.33433074861273	Take my arm; I'll go as far as I can, but it is very late you know — and you are sure you are not afraid?"
nyp.33433074861273	Tamar to be sure — why, of course, I know you; but what the devil brings you here?"
nyp.33433074861273	That odd look I detected in the mirror — what did it mean?
nyp.33433074861273	The Town Clerk pressed his arm with a significant side nod and a wink, which seemed to say,"I understand him; ca n't you let me manage him?"
nyp.33433074861273	The attorney had just said"there, please,"in reply to the Vicar's question,"Where do I write my name?"
nyp.33433074861273	The morning — yes, the morning — what then?
nyp.33433074861273	Then came the thought — perhaps they un- derstood one another, and that was the meaning of Stanley's unexpected visit?
nyp.33433074861273	Then, you really think there is a conspiracy — formed by him or against him, which?"
nyp.33433074861273	There's a good girl; wo n't you?"
nyp.33433074861273	They steer no more, but drive before the wind; and what care they for wreck and drowning?"
nyp.33433074861273	Times?'
nyp.33433074861273	WVLDER'S HAAfD 187"Have you beard anything since, Mr Larkin?
nyp.33433074861273	Was he there?
nyp.33433074861273	Was it credible?
nyp.33433074861273	Was it credible?
nyp.33433074861273	Was it elation, or was there not some- thing wildiy bitter gleaming in that smile?
nyp.33433074861273	Was it possible that the letter had been sent by mistake to Brandon — to Captain Lake?
nyp.33433074861273	Was it possible to hold to both, or must he cleave only to one and despise the other?
nyp.33433074861273	Was it watchfulness?
nyp.33433074861273	Was she ill?
nyp.33433074861273	Was she very wise, or at all learned?
nyp.33433074861273	Was there no mode of"hedging,"so that whether Mark Wylder were living or dead the attorney should stand to win?
nyp.33433074861273	Was this doomed house of Brandon never to know repose or fraternity?
nyp.33433074861273	Were slumbers sweet as of old ever to know it more?
nyp.33433074861273	What are you driving at, Stanley?"
nyp.33433074861273	What can he want of Mark Wylder?
nyp.33433074861273	What can it now be to you or me — why?
nyp.33433074861273	What can the child mean?"
nyp.33433074861273	What could old Tamar do?
nyp.33433074861273	What did it portend?
nyp.33433074861273	What do you mean by standing?"
nyp.33433074861273	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861273	What do you mean?
nyp.33433074861273	What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074861273	What do you say?
nyp.33433074861273	What does Doctor Buddle say?"
nyp.33433074861273	What does Mrs. the housekeeper, say?"
nyp.33433074861273	What does it say?"
nyp.33433074861273	What dreams were henceforward to haunt it?
nyp.33433074861273	What good can it possibly do you?
nyp.33433074861273	What had I best do?
nyp.33433074861273	What has brought you here, my little man?"
nyp.33433074861273	What is he doing now?"
nyp.33433074861273	What of her?"
nyp.33433074861273	What on earth can he mean?
nyp.33433074861273	What particular good can it do us in this unpleasant un- certainty?"
nyp.33433074861273	What shall I say?
nyp.33433074861273	What shall I say?"
nyp.33433074861273	What sort of beings must those be who hate it?
nyp.33433074861273	What the d — is it all about?"
nyp.33433074861273	What was it?"
nyp.33433074861273	What was that to the purpose?
nyp.33433074861273	What was this secret?
nyp.33433074861273	What was to be done?
nyp.33433074861273	What will be thought?
nyp.33433074861273	What's that horrid work of art against the wall?"
nyp.33433074861273	What, then, did Rachel mean by all that* escaped her, when he was in danger?
nyp.33433074861273	Where have you left him?"
nyp.33433074861273	Where have you put him?"
nyp.33433074861273	Where is that girl, Margery?"
nyp.33433074861273	Where is the woman who will patiently acquiesce in the reserve of her husband who shares his confidence with another?
nyp.33433074861273	Where shall it be?"
nyp.33433074861273	Where's the station- master?"
nyp.33433074861273	Who could have fancied any such stupid hurry?
nyp.33433074861273	Who could tell exactly the cause of his dismissal, and why the young lady had asserted her capricious resolve to be free?
nyp.33433074861273	Who is with you?
nyp.33433074861273	Who knew to what it might conduct?
nyp.33433074861273	Who made you a prophet?
nyp.33433074861273	Who were the witnesses?
nyp.33433074861273	Who's that?"
nyp.33433074861273	Whom have I defrauded?
nyp.33433074861273	Why could he not put his head in at the door and call him?
nyp.33433074861273	Why did time limp so tediously away with him, prolong- ing his anguish gratuitously?
nyp.33433074861273	Why do n't you ask her?
nyp.33433074861273	Why have not you a spare engine at a place like this?
nyp.33433074861273	Why should Dorcas be so earnest to convince her hand- some cousin that there was nothing in this rumor?
nyp.33433074861273	Why should I like your company?"
nyp.33433074861273	Why should he dread this cabal, as he called it, even though directed by the malignant energy of the absent and shadowy Mark Wylder?
nyp.33433074861273	Why should it be necessary to buy off the conspirators whom a guiltless man would defy and punish?
nyp.33433074861273	Why should not I share in the profit — if such there be — by getting my hand too upon the instrument of compression?
nyp.33433074861273	Why should she fear Stanley, or what could it be to her whether he was beside her in her homeward walk?
nyp.33433074861273	Will nothing content you?"
nyp.33433074861273	Will the people come to- day?"
nyp.33433074861273	Will you be good enough to explain yourself?
nyp.33433074861273	Will you come, Rachel?"
nyp.33433074861273	Will you have a cigar?"
nyp.33433074861273	Will you just look at that — it's the"Globe"—only six lines, and tell me what you make of it?"
nyp.33433074861273	Will you read the note?"
nyp.33433074861273	William Wylder rightly conceived you, when he so stated your meaning to me?"
nyp.33433074861273	Wo n't that do?
nyp.33433074861273	Wo n't you send for William Wylder and Chelford, and tell all you know of Mark?"
nyp.33433074861273	Wo n't you shake hands?"
nyp.33433074861273	Wo n't you sit down — no bad news?
nyp.33433074861273	Wylder?"
nyp.33433074861273	You always have a purpose — will you ever learn to be frank and straightforward, and speak plainly to those whom you ought to trust, if not to love?
nyp.33433074861273	You are corresponding with him — arn't you?"
nyp.33433074861273	You are looking pale — you have not been ill?
nyp.33433074861273	You are not very tired, are you?
nyp.33433074861273	You dear old witch, how the plague could you take any such frightful nonsense into your head?
nyp.33433074861273	You do n't drink?"
nyp.33433074861273	You have heard, then, from Mr. Wylder, my dear Dorcas?"
nyp.33433074861273	You have succeeded already in filling Dorcas's mind with surmise and speculation, and do you think the Gylingden people are either hlind or dumb?
nyp.33433074861273	You know Rachel Lake?"
nyp.33433074861273	You know Sir Julius, do n't you?"
nyp.33433074861273	You know this goes under ground all the way to Vallambrosa?"
nyp.33433074861273	You mean Wylder, of course?"
nyp.33433074861273	You remember my poor mamma, do n't you, very well?"
nyp.33433074861273	You see exactly what I mean?"
nyp.33433074861273	You told me so, I think; and if it is not too much trouble, dear Radie, would you allow me to see it?"
nyp.33433074861273	You understand me clearly, Tamar?"
nyp.33433074861273	You understand?"
nyp.33433074861273	You'll take care of'me in your will, Nunkie, wo n't you?

nyp.33433074869680	And Violet admitted this?
nyp.33433074869680	And are you pleased now?
nyp.33433074869680	And at the afternoon tea she gave you the holly?
nyp.33433074869680	And he told you so at the masked ball?
nyp.33433074869680	And how did she manage to obtain it?
nyp.33433074869680	And how did she propose to do that, Mr Bawdsey? nyp.33433074869680 And it was Miss Ward who gave you the yellow holly?"
nyp.33433074869680	And it was?
nyp.33433074869680	And pray, Mr. Brendon, has she sent you to cross- question me?
nyp.33433074869680	And surrender my claim to Miss Ward's hand, I suppose?
nyp.33433074869680	And what good does philanthropy do, Mr Train?
nyp.33433074869680	And what if I did?
nyp.33433074869680	And what is justly yours, if you please?
nyp.33433074869680	And when they do come true, what is the use of them? nyp.33433074869680 And who is the assassin?"

nyp.33433074869680	And you were with Mr Vane?
nyp.33433074869680	And you were, sir?
nyp.33433074869680	And you wish- me to approve?
nyp.33433074869680	Anything else?
nyp.33433074869680	Are those pleasant subjects?

nyp.33433074869680	At what time was that?
nyp.33433074869680	Because I decline a reply?
nyp.33433074869680	Bless my soul, are you also without under- standing, sir? nyp.33433074869680 But about this murder, Mr Ireland?
nyp.33433074869680	But ca n't you see? nyp.33433074869680 But have you ever heard of that disease — fear of open spaces?"
nyp.33433074869680	But she does n't know that I claim to be Lord Derrington's grandson?
nyp.33433074869680	But surely you can throw some light on the mat- ter?
nyp.33433074869680	But there is one thingA LOVERS'MEETING 77"What is it?"
nyp.33433074869680	But when did you first suspect her?
nyp.33433074869680	But why has she kept silent all these years?
nyp.33433074869680	But why should she?
nyp.33433074869680	By the way, Mr James, what is the name of the late Mr Lockwood's executor?
nyp.33433074869680	By whom?
nyp.33433074869680	Ca n't you under- stand that a man may do a kind action without being biased by the beauty of a woman?
nyp.33433074869680	Can she do so?
nyp.33433074869680	Can you deny the relationship?

nyp.33433074869680	For what?

nyp.33433074869680	George,said Dorothy, after a pause,"do you think he has anything to do with this murder?"
nyp.33433074869680	Has anyone left this morning?

nyp.33433074869680	How can she ruin you?
nyp.33433074869680	How can you marry her situated as you are?
nyp.33433074869680	How can you prove that?
nyp.33433074869680	How could I be mixed up in it?
nyp.33433074869680	How could Mrs Jersey know that?
nyp.33433074869680	How dare you accuse a gentleman of such a thing?
nyp.33433074869680	How dare you address me like this?
nyp.33433074869680	How dare you?—how dare you?
nyp.33433074869680	How did Lord Derrington find out that I was passing under the name of George Brendon?
nyp.33433074869680	How did she learn its name?
nyp.33433074869680	How did you drop on the subject in the first place?
nyp.33433074869680	How did you know about it?
nyp.33433074869680	How did you know of its existence?
nyp.33433074869680	How did you know the house?
nyp.33433074869680	How do you know that she is my young lady?
nyp.33433074869680	How do you know?
nyp.33433074869680	How do you make that out?
nyp.33433074869680	How do you mean, Dorothy?
nyp.33433074869680	How do you mean?
nyp.33433074869680	How do you mean?
nyp.33433074869680	How so? nyp.33433074869680 How will you set to work to get that certifi- cate?"
nyp.33433074869680	I am dying, but what of that? nyp.33433074869680 I ask if you have ever been to San Reroo?"
nyp.33433074869680	I in danger of arrest?
nyp.33433074869680	I quite understand that; but how did you know about Mrs Jersey?
nyp.33433074869680	I should like to know what you were doing in Mrs Jersey's house on the night she was murdered?
nyp.33433074869680	I suppose you wonder why I have come again so soon?
nyp.33433074869680	I took the trouble to come from a party for that very purpose,was Mrs Ward's plaintive reply,"and how was I received?"
nyp.33433074869680	I won- der who killed the poor woman, and how did you come to be there on the very night she died?
nyp.33433074869680	I wonder if her death has anything to do with your affairs?
nyp.33433074869680	I wonder who killed her?
nyp.33433074869680	I, Mrs Ward? nyp.33433074869680 I?"
nyp.33433074869680	If you are satisfied with my explanation, will you endeavor to get Lola to marry me?
nyp.33433074869680	If you are speaking of George Brendon"Of who else should I speak? nyp.33433074869680 If you disliked my father so much, why did you seek him out?"
nyp.33433074869680	If you want to know the way in which I intend to protect myself"What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433074869680	In his letter to you did my father say he was married?
nyp.33433074869680	In relation to Lord Derrington?
nyp.33433074869680	In the pocket?
nyp.33433074869680	In what cases, sir?
nyp.33433074869680	In what way?
nyp.33433074869680	In what way?
nyp.33433074869680	In your coat?
nyp.33433074869680	Including the murder of my father?
nyp.33433074869680	Indeed, and what interest can that have for me, Mr Brendon?
nyp.33433074869680	Indeed, and why did you not?
nyp.33433074869680	Into the fog?
nyp.33433074869680	Is he pleased?
nyp.33433074869680	Is her mother the Honorable Mrs Ward who married Lord Ransome's son?
nyp.33433074869680	Is it an understood thing that you retire at that hour?
nyp.33433074869680	Is it only for that reason that you consider me worthy of your confidence?
nyp.33433074869680	Is it this news about a lady trying to tear the registers?
nyp.33433074869680	Is n't that taking a great deal for granted?
nyp.33433074869680	Is not that rather strange?
nyp.33433074869680	Is she an idiot?
nyp.33433074869680	Is that girl mad?
nyp.33433074869680	Is there nothing else?
nyp.33433074869680	It is rather late in the day for that, is it not?
nyp.33433074869680	It was good of my grandfather to leave me anything,he said,"but in what way was my — Mr Lockwood, pleased?
nyp.33433074869680	It's rather late in the day, is it not?
nyp.33433074869680	Let the lady pass,he said;"who are you, sir, to stop the egress of my guests?"
nyp.33433074869680	Margery, was that a heart?
nyp.33433074869680	Margery? nyp.33433074869680 Marriage, love, what have I to do with such things?"
nyp.33433074869680	Might you know her name, sir?
nyp.33433074869680	Miss Bull?
nyp.33433074869680	Mrs Ward, will you not wait until we rectify it?
nyp.33433074869680	Mrs Ward?
nyp.33433074869680	My father,said George, willfully disregarding this sign of temper,"how did he meet her?"
nyp.33433074869680	No, and yet — why should you not know? nyp.33433074869680 No,"replied Brendon,"what is it?"
nyp.33433074869680	No; how should I know?
nyp.33433074869680	Not your bedroom door?
nyp.33433074869680	Now, then,said the inspector, when he had posted his men and was alone with Miss Bull in the drawing- room,"what do you know of this?"
nyp.33433074869680	Obey you, Lord Derrington?
nyp.33433074869680	Oh, it's Violet's work, is it?
nyp.33433074869680	Oh, then, it is your intention to enter political life?
nyp.33433074869680	Oh,muttered Miss Bull,"Percy came as far as that with her, did he?
nyp.33433074869680	On me? nyp.33433074869680 On the Arab principle of bread and salt?"
nyp.33433074869680	On what grounds?
nyp.33433074869680	One moment,he said, on the doorstep;"this blue domino connected with my father's murder — was she never traced?"
nyp.33433074869680	Or why,pursued Derrington, unmoved,"why you sent her the yellow holly?"
nyp.33433074869680	Perhaps you have heard Grisi and Mario also?
nyp.33433074869680	Poor soul, I wonder how she is now?
nyp.33433074869680	Shall we leave the matter to Miss Ward?
nyp.33433074869680	She? nyp.33433074869680 She?"
nyp.33433074869680	So she said nothing of the annuity from Lord Derrington?
nyp.33433074869680	So you accuse me of that?
nyp.33433074869680	Still by the year?
nyp.33433074869680	Taking me home? nyp.33433074869680 Tell me, Bawdsey,"he said at length,"did you suspect Lola of committing the crime?"
nyp.33433074869680	That I killed the woman? nyp.33433074869680 That is Walter Vane's father?"
nyp.33433074869680	The weather, sir?
nyp.33433074869680	Then he did know the face?
nyp.33433074869680	Then if not you, who was the man?
nyp.33433074869680	Then she knew he was murdered?
nyp.33433074869680	Then she ques- tioned you about the walk?
nyp.33433074869680	Then there was a marriage?
nyp.33433074869680	Then there was no question of the marriage, then?
nyp.33433074869680	Then who had?
nyp.33433074869680	Then why did you come here?
nyp.33433074869680	Then you do not know who killed my father?
nyp.33433074869680	Then you think that the assassin of your father was also the assassin of Mrs Jersey?
nyp.33433074869680	Then you will speak to her in the morning?
nyp.33433074869680	There's your Cousin Walter"My cousin, sir?
nyp.33433074869680	Unless?
nyp.33433074869680	Was Lord Derrington agreeable to this sugges- tion?
nyp.33433074869680	Was it Mrs Jersey?
nyp.33433074869680	Was it, indeed? nyp.33433074869680 Was my father a fighter?"
nyp.33433074869680	Was she in your mind to- night when that old maid was telling the cards?
nyp.33433074869680	Was that all?
nyp.33433074869680	Was that before eleven?
nyp.33433074869680	Was the nurse's name Eliza Stokes?
nyp.33433074869680	Was there any one else about?
nyp.33433074869680	Was there no suspicion?
nyp.33433074869680	Well, Mrs Ward, do you consent to the match?
nyp.33433074869680	Well, and in what way have you made up your mind to be nasty?
nyp.33433074869680	Well, good people,cried Mrs Ward, entering the room at this very opportune moment,"are you all here?
nyp.33433074869680	Well, how do we stand?
nyp.33433074869680	Well,said Mrs Ward, sharply, and rather dis- appointed he did not grovel on the instant,"what do you say?"
nyp.33433074869680	Well?
nyp.33433074869680	Were you a good young man, Lord Derrington?
nyp.33433074869680	Were you in the room where the woman was murdered? nyp.33433074869680 What about Calve and Melba?"
nyp.33433074869680	What about George?

nyp.33433074869680	With her daughter? nyp.33433074869680 Wo n't you have more supper?"
nyp.33433074869680	Would you believe it, George, my boy, she was in love with your father, and showed it so plainly that he was obliged to get rid of her?
nyp.33433074869680	Would you have spoken harshly to her?
nyp.33433074869680	Yellow holly?
nyp.33433074869680	Yes, I did,said the detective,"and why not?
nyp.33433074869680	Yes, Mr Brendon?
nyp.33433074869680	You are a private inquiry agent?
nyp.33433074869680	You are very clever and obstinate, Lord Derring- ton, but how will you explain this—she pointed to the stiletto—"to the authorities?"
nyp.33433074869680	You call him George?
nyp.33433074869680	You forgive me?
nyp.33433074869680	You have come to make further inquiries likely to forward your fight for your birthright?
nyp.33433074869680	You have your suspicions, then?
nyp.33433074869680	You heard nothing — you saw nothing?
nyp.33433074869680	You knew she was Mrs Jersey?
nyp.33433074869680	You knew where that was?
nyp.33433074869680	You left the dagger behind?
nyp.33433074869680	You made the acquaintance of Bawdsey at the hall?
nyp.33433074869680	You mean in the quality of his work, sir?
nyp.33433074869680	You mean that he ought to discover the assas- sin?
nyp.33433074869680	You mean the crimson light? nyp.33433074869680 You profess a great friendship for me, but how can I trust you?"
nyp.33433074869680	You saw her?
nyp.33433074869680	You think I should have put the rope round my neck?
nyp.33433074869680	You will have some tea?
nyp.33433074869680	You will marry Mees Vard?

nyp.33433074869680	And why should they?
nyp.33433074869680	And you saw Mrs Jersey?"

nyp.33433074869680	But even so, by what means could she have induced my father to leave the room with her?
nyp.33433074869680	But how do you identify Eliza Stokes with Mrs Jersey?"
nyp.33433074869680	But if you are satisfied with what I am about to tell you, will you help me?"
nyp.33433074869680	But she was a secretive woman, and never.said anything to me about her fears, if she had any,""Were you great friends?"
nyp.33433074869680	But this Brendon — you like him?"

nyp.33433074869680	Do you call these actions honorable?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know a Miss Bull?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know her?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know her?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know much about music, Mr Train?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know who killed him?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know why I asked you to come and see me to- day?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you know why I suggested this house to you, Leonard?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you love her?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you suspect any one?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you want to know about the papers?"
nyp.33433074869680	Do you wish to see me happy?"
nyp.33433074869680	Eh, will you believe that, my preserver?"
nyp.33433074869680	Eh?"
nyp.33433074869680	George saw that Miss Bull was not keeping strictly to the truth, and corrected her at once,"You knew Eliza Stokes at San Remo?"
nyp.33433074869680	George, my dear friend, the Chianti is in the flask there, and this macaroni?
nyp.33433074869680	Had she any friend in whom she would place such confidence?"
nyp.33433074869680	Have n't I any money?"
nyp.33433074869680	Have they drawing- rooms in Blooms- bury?
nyp.33433074869680	Have you a light?
nyp.33433074869680	Have you learned who killed her?"
nyp.33433074869680	He was gone""With your sister?"
nyp.33433074869680	How could I be angry with her child?
nyp.33433074869680	How could I have entered the house?"
nyp.33433074869680	How could I have got out to visit Mrs Jersey's room without his knowledge?"
nyp.33433074869680	How did you and Bawdsey come to be talking of this matter?"
nyp.33433074869680	How did you come to learn that I paused in the hall?"
nyp.33433074869680	How did you know?"
nyp.33433074869680	How do you know about that?"
nyp.33433074869680	How do you know that I am her sister?
nyp.33433074869680	How is that?"
nyp.33433074869680	How many plans have come to naught because of best intentions?
nyp.33433074869680	I always thought there was a marriage — why should I not?
nyp.33433074869680	I say that you were my love, and that Monsieur Vane was the father of you""Then she knew who I was on that night?"
nyp.33433074869680	I suppose Mrs Jersey liked him?"
nyp.33433074869680	I suppose he will marry the^irl?"
nyp.33433074869680	I tried to find you out, George, lest she should get at you — —""Oh, was that why you offered to make me an allowance?"
nyp.33433074869680	I want to know before you begin why Mrs Jersey was so struck with that yellow holly?"
nyp.33433074869680	I was furious, but what could I do?
nyp.33433074869680	I wonder what that meant?"
nyp.33433074869680	I wonder why she locked the girl in?"
nyp.33433074869680	If I did not consent to the mar- riage of Miss Ward and Walter — eh?"
nyp.33433074869680	If there is anything to amuse you here?"
nyp.33433074869680	Is she in it, too?"
nyp.33433074869680	Is that your name?"
nyp.33433074869680	Is there any one else, Mrs Ward?"
nyp.33433074869680	It was my intention to inclose a sprig in a letter to Mrs Jersey so as to frighten her""What good would that have done?"
nyp.33433074869680	It would only take you a few minutes to get to your room, would it not?"
nyp.33433074869680	MRS WARD'S TRUMP CARD 205"Will you help me to marry Lola?"
nyp.33433074869680	Mr Vane wanted to wait for her""For Violet?"
nyp.33433074869680	Mrs Jersey?"
nyp.33433074869680	Now, is there any one to whom Madame gave a latch- key?"
nyp.33433074869680	Of course he's a great friend of yours, is n't he?
nyp.33433074869680	Oh, yes, why not?"
nyp.33433074869680	On what grounds does she accuse me of being concerned in this crime?"
nyp.33433074869680	On what night can we go?"
nyp.33433074869680	One of my fellow- servants asked me why I was so gay?
nyp.33433074869680	Or, perhaps, Mr Granger?"
nyp.33433074869680	Perhaps I have met your father?"
nyp.33433074869680	Perhaps you may know?"
nyp.33433074869680	San Remo is in Italy, is n't it?"
nyp.33433074869680	She always kept in touch with useful friends,"WHO BAWDSEY WAS 319"But why should he kill her so suddenly?"
nyp.33433074869680	She paused, and then continued, her voice gathering strength as she proceeded,"Who is the bride, Mr Brendon?"
nyp.33433074869680	She ran forward and flung herself with tears at his feet, clutching his legs and wailing:"Oh, my dear one, hast thou come in anger?
nyp.33433074869680	She was at San Remo when the mur- der took place?"
nyp.33433074869680	So Bawdsey is in love with you?"
nyp.33433074869680	So Lola told you?"
nyp.33433074869680	So Miss Bull is Mrs Ward's sister?"
nyp.33433074869680	So he betrayed me?"
nyp.33433074869680	So she saw Miss Ward?"
nyp.33433074869680	So you intend to look for the certificate of mar- riage?"
nyp.33433074869680	THE INQUIRY AGENT 273"I can only judge the future by the past, and since you are quite ready to play Lord Derrington false""Who says that?"
nyp.33433074869680	Tell me, Mr Brendon, have you ever felt as though you were a ghost?"
nyp.33433074869680	That night he asked me to be his wife, and had he not been murdered""Did he ask you when he was taking you home?"
nyp.33433074869680	Then Eliza Stokes was not at Como?"
nyp.33433074869680	Then he asked, after a pause,"Why did you tell Dorothy to give the sprig of holly to Brendon on that night?"
nyp.33433074869680	WHAT MR IRELAND KNEW 93"Who told you?"
nyp.33433074869680	Was Mr Bren- don introduced to her?"
nyp.33433074869680	Was anything wrong?"
nyp.33433074869680	Was she afraid?"
nyp.33433074869680	Was there a marriage?
nyp.33433074869680	Was there no other topic of conversation?
nyp.33433074869680	Well, did Mrs Jersey and Mr Brendon get on well together?
nyp.33433074869680	Well, my boy, have you come to see your new cousin?"
nyp.33433074869680	Well, then, Lola, did you get him from a private inquiry office?"
nyp.33433074869680	Well?"
nyp.33433074869680	Well?"
nyp.33433074869680	Were you in it on that night?"
nyp.33433074869680	What about yourself — your aims, your ambitions, your chances of success?"
nyp.33433074869680	What are you plans?"
nyp.33433074869680	What did she know about it?"
nyp.33433074869680	What do you know of it?"

nyp.33433074869680	What is his family?
nyp.33433074869680	What is it you have to say?"
nyp.33433074869680	What is it?"
nyp.33433074869680	What kind of a woman was Mrs Jersey?"
nyp.33433074869680	What means did you take to force him to recognize you?"
nyp.33433074869680	What of gratitude?
nyp.33433074869680	What proof have you of this?"
nyp.33433074869680	What shall I do?
nyp.33433074869680	What was he doing there?"
nyp.33433074869680	What was more natural than for Ireland to pick it up and kill her in a sudden access of dread?
nyp.33433074869680	What would be easier than for me to go down the stairs and, when the woman refused to confess as to my legitimacy, to stab her?
nyp.33433074869680	When Lockwood died I sold the house to Lord Derrington""What — to my grandfather?"

nyp.33433075770705	. ” “ You do n’t expect me to believe you ’d have sacri- ficed them to Heron, or his wife, do you, Mrs. Sands? ” O'Reilly laughed.
nyp.33433075770705	? ”"The girl was at her wits ’ end.
nyp.33433075770705	About those panels, for instance?
nyp.33433075770705	After all, why should n’t he?
nyp.33433075770705	And if so, how soon? ” “ I will, ” came the answer.
nyp.33433075770705	And yet if this wretch was dead then, who called “ Come in? ” A wild impulse to run away seized the girl.
nyp.33433075770705	And you do n’t know what will become of you since he ’s failed you, and you're turned adrift in a strange town? ” “ I do n’t know at all.
nyp.33433075770705	And you ’re her enemy, are n't you? ” “ Not the least in the world.
nyp.33433075770705	Are you Peterson? ” “ Peterson is in the room, ” returned Clo, after an 168 170 THE LION'S MOUSE lest she had been cut off.
nyp.33433075770705	Are you in the pearl business, too?
nyp.33433075770705	Are you strong enough to take a longer drive, and to walk a few steps alone? ” “ Rather! ” said Clo.
nyp.33433075770705	Are you sure you can walk to the elevator?
nyp.33433075770705	As for the wonderful envelope, who could tell that it did n't contain blank paper?
nyp.33433075770705	Be- sides, why had n’t she telephoned?
nyp.33433075770705	But Have you gone? ” There was no answer.
nyp.33433075770705	But I suppose you have told him now?
nyp.33433075770705	But Stephen — Stephen gone, what'old'ad Chuff on Olga? ” “ Booby, dear, Olga does n't know Stephen's dead. ” Clo's blood rushed to her brain.
nyp.33433075770705	But detief's dere all right, you say? ” “ Yes, she's there all right.
nyp.33433075770705	But do you think it was wrong to keep the money? ” “ In the circumstances, no, ” Mrs. Blackburne decided.
nyp.33433075770705	But even if O’Reilly would come, how- 122- BEVERLEY TALKS 75 could I see him without Roger knowing?
nyp.33433075770705	But had he stolen the envelope as well as the pearls?
nyp.33433075770705	But it's almost impossible “ It ’s more possible than Mr. Sands ’ changing the envelopes, is n’t it? ” “ That is the one impossible thing.
nyp.33433075770705	But the pearls — can’t we bargain with the pearls? ” “ We ca n’t bargain at all, Mrs. Sands, ” O’Reilly said gravely.
nyp.33433075770705	But there must have been something important to take Chuff out. ” “ Wat vas de plan? ” “ Oh, what does it matter?

nyp.33433075770705	But was it over?
nyp.33433075770705	But we must n't let the gang make a corpse of Mr. Heron, must we?
nyp.33433075770705	But what makes you think it may have my envelope inside? ” “ Because it was carefully hidden in a safe in the wall.
nyp.33433075770705	But where were they, and where was she?
nyp.33433075770705	But who knows?

nyp.33433075770705	Can BEVERLEY TALKS 71 you go back, and live over again every step of the way? ” Beverley shut her eyes, and began to think aloud.
nyp.33433075770705	Can I go further, to show you I want to atone? ” “ No, you ca n’t, Roger ” Beverley nestled her face into his neck.
nyp.33433075770705	Can I trust you to be sure and give it to him? ”"218 THE LION'S MOUSE “ The young lady's gone, sare.
nyp.33433075770705	Can you remember what O'Reilly did next, after you both passed him on the platform? ” “ No.

nyp.33433075770705	Could Clo possibly have dashed into the boudoir and hidden the pearls?
nyp.33433075770705	Could she persuade Roger to let her give up the pearls?
nyp.33433075770705	Could she reach the blowing curtain?
nyp.33433075770705	Could you take me home with you? ” “ No, Jake’ll be comin ’ in. ” “ Well, let's go to Chuff ’s.
nyp.33433075770705	Did he give them to you? ” “ I do n’t know whether he had them or not.
nyp.33433075770705	Did n't he tell Olga that Stephen would sure be done for if she did n’t hand over the real docs by ten o’clock sharp? ” “ Olga! ”.
nyp.33433075770705	Did she look like someone he knew?
nyp.33433075770705	Did you find the beans? ” “ I ’ve found something I must bring to you.
nyp.33433075770705	Did you hear it? ” There was a trifling pause while the servant replied.
nyp.33433075770705	Do n’t I have cause to know that?
nyp.33433075770705	Do you really want my help? ” “ Do n’t I?
nyp.33433075770705	Do you really want my help? ” “ Do n’t I?
nyp.33433075770705	Do you think Mr. Sands will go? ” “ It depends upon how he feels when he comes in, ” said Beverley.
nyp.33433075770705	Do you think you can walk if I give you my arm? ” “ I ’ll try, ” Clo answered, gratefully.
nyp.33433075770705	Do you understand? ” “ I ’ll be there, ” said the man.
nyp.33433075770705	Does she wish to speak to me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075770705	Does that suit you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075770705	For what? ” “ For what I did.
nyp.33433075770705	For you will? ” He slipped the long envelope into an inside breast pocket of his gray tweed coat.
nyp.33433075770705	Forgive me, Bev – and God forgive you if — ” “ There's an “ if ” for you? ” “ No- no, there's no ‘ if any more.
nyp.33433075770705	Had some one come in?
nyp.33433075770705	Has Pete made a deal on his own?
nyp.33433075770705	Have n’t you got the book there? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075770705	Have they killed Stephen because I did n't send back the papers? ” she constantly asked herself.
nyp.33433075770705	Have you got a car below? ” Clo was almost past answering; almost, not quite.
nyp.33433075770705	Have you got on to some frame up, or are you kidding? ” “ Well.
nyp.33433075770705	Have you had any trouble on my account? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433075770705	Have you money? ” “ I had enough and more than enough for my journey here, enough to pay you back for all you ’ve done.
nyp.33433075770705	He ca n’t be long! ” “ What about the envelope?
nyp.33433075770705	He supposed that O’Reilly did n’t inter- est her?
nyp.33433075770705	His name is Justin O’Reilly. ” “ O’Reilly? ” Clo echoed.
nyp.33433075770705	How can he? ” Bever- ley cried.
nyp.33433075770705	How did you get out of my room with the only door locked on the inside? ” “ Oh! ” the girl cried, surprised, “ I thought you'd guess.
nyp.33433075770705	How had she rewarded him?
nyp.33433075770705	I ca n't tell you here. ” “ You want I take you to de hotel? ” “ No!
nyp.33433075770705	I ca n’t see any light, can you? ” “ Let me help you to look for the envelope, ” said Clo.
nyp.33433075770705	I did n’t look back. ” “ You do n’t know, then, whether the person he seemed to expect ever turned up? ” Beverley shook her head.
nyp.33433075770705	I have a feeling that Mr. Sands suspects. ” “ That the pearls are gone?
nyp.33433075770705	I hope you're not worried about to- night? ” “ Worried?
nyp.33433075770705	I hope you're not worried about to- night? ” “ Worried?
nyp.33433075770705	I must go to the boudoir and get that envelope, whatever happens. ” “ What shall I do? ” asked Clo.
nyp.33433075770705	I suppose he does n’t interest you? ” “ No man interests me.
nyp.33433075770705	I suppose it ’s come? ” “ Oh, yes, ” Beverley replied, convinced that it was not about the dress he thought or cared.
nyp.33433075770705	I understand nothing of what she says Will Madame read? ” Hiding eagerness, Beverley took the half sheet of commercial paper.
nyp.33433075770705	I – I could do that. ” “ Will you? ” she breathed.
nyp.33433075770705	I ’m Roger Sands — ” “ Roger Sands, the great — what is the word? — corporation lawyer?

nyp.33433075770705	If so, who could it be?
nyp.33433075770705	If you get what you want, it does n’t matter who brings it, I suppose? ” “ Then you suppose wrong.
nyp.33433075770705	Is it Miss Blackburne you ’ve been lucky enough to find, and bring back to me? ” All this rushed out in a breath.
nyp.33433075770705	Is this a mes- sage from my cousin? ” Clo ceased suddenly to be impish.
nyp.33433075770705	It was Clo who opened the door of the cab, and almost pushed Angel in: “ Shall I tell him to go to the corner where he picked us up? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075770705	It would take a trained thief. ” “ Can people send off telegrams from those Limited trains? ” Clo took up her catechism again.
nyp.33433075770705	It ’s still a board- ing- house, is n’t it? ” “ It ai n’t no foundlin ’ orphant asylum. ” “ I do n’t ask for charity.
nyp.33433075770705	Kit back already?
nyp.33433075770705	Mean- while, there ’s nothing to stay for, is there?
nyp.33433075770705	Might account for documents being late. ” “ Say, what are you giving me?
nyp.33433075770705	Might n't she help with some suggestion?
nyp.33433075770705	Of course you have n’t got the papers? ” “ I dressed like this to make a get- away, ” said Clo.
nyp.33433075770705	Oh, Angel, how could I dream for a min- ute it might have been you?
nyp.33433075770705	Oh, by the by, one more congratulation: the pearls. ” “ How did you know? ” Beverley forgot her hu- miliation in sheer amazement.
nyp.33433075770705	Or if not, how will they reach me?
nyp.33433075770705	Or was it only the shadow of a blowing cur- tain she had seen?
nyp.33433075770705	Ought she to go back with her news to Park Avenue, and abandon the pearls?
nyp.33433075770705	Ought she to'phone to Beverley and put her on guard?
nyp.33433075770705	Our hope is in Miss Riley. ” “ You ’ll come to the Dietz, wo n’t you? ” asked O'Reilly.
nyp.33433075770705	Pearls instead of papers? ” “ Hold the line again for a jiffy, and I ’ll go through his togs. ” “ All right.
nyp.33433075770705	People would ask: “ Who was she? ’ and there ’d be no answer. ” “ They'd not ask me that, ” said Roger obstinately.
nyp.33433075770705	Perhaps I can find work. ” “ Do you think after all that ’s passed I can go coolly on my way leaving you alone in Chicago?
nyp.33433075770705	Perhaps she was still in the flat, and for some reason to be explained later, had taken refuge in the boudoir?
nyp.33433075770705	Peterson?
nyp.33433075770705	See? ” “ Sh, girl!
nyp.33433075770705	See? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075770705	Seems sort of funny he did n’t put you wise about the excitement, you know where. ” “ You mean Park Avenue? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075770705	Shall I open the door? ” ‘ Yes, open the door. ” Beverley echoed.
nyp.33433075770705	She's not cut out for a heroine, is she?
nyp.33433075770705	Should she fly back and lock herself into her room?
nyp.33433075770705	Should she risk pushing the man aside, and fleeing past him into the hall?
nyp.33433075770705	So that ’s what the newspaper says?
nyp.33433075770705	Somebody must have nicked it. ” “ Ai n’t there one in your own room next door? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075770705	Something up at Krantz's this peaceful Sabbath? ” “ There's more up than I want to come out, ” said O'Reilly.
nyp.33433075770705	Suppose you've been on board since Los Angeles? ” “ I caught sight of you last night for the first time, ” said the other.
nyp.33433075770705	Tell me once and for all before you go, now you ’ve seen the pearls; is there any hope? ” “ None whatever, ” O’Reilly cut her short.
nyp.33433075770705	Tell me, did all go well? ” The blow must be struck.
nyp.33433075770705	That ’s my excuse. ” “ Your excuse, lovey?
nyp.33433075770705	That ’s why I should like to have Denham — the detective — on the spot. ” “ Would that be the best way to get the pearls? ” asked Clo.
nyp.33433075770705	The foreign- sounding voice began again: “ Well, is Pete there this time? ’ “ No, ” said the girl.
nyp.33433075770705	The man who saved the Cali- fornia Oil Trust king? ” She looked surprised, almost frightened.
nyp.33433075770705	The rope looks as fine as if no accident had happened, I suppose? ” “ It's a – wonderful rope, ” his wife managed to reply.
nyp.33433075770705	The way things are, you have to be in with us, you see, not against us. ” “ Oh, do I?
nyp.33433075770705	There ’s been nobody to steal them. ” “ What about our little friend, Clo Riley? ” Miss THE MYSTERY OF THE BOUDOIR 139 Blackburne asked.
nyp.33433075770705	To whom was she speaking?
nyp.33433075770705	Unless you, Roger, would show your forgiveness by helping me? ” “ I have an appointment, ” he answered.
nyp.33433075770705	Violet says you ast for a top- floor room? ” 242 THE LION'S MOUSE against the dusty paper.
nyp.33433075770705	Was it at the bedside?
nyp.33433075770705	Was she pulling the cover off the patched pillow?
nyp.33433075770705	Wat for I get furder?
nyp.33433075770705	Well, is it all right? ” THE BLUFF THAT FAILED 79 “ Roger will go, ” said Beverley.
nyp.33433075770705	Well, now, I ask you, could I give him away? ” “ I do n’t see how you could, ” wailed the old lady.
nyp.33433075770705	Were there two thieves, or only one?
nyp.33433075770705	What did the motor matter, compared with saving a life? ” “ Saving a life was n’t in question.
nyp.33433075770705	What do you think it was? ” “ Fifty dollars? ” her mother guessed.
nyp.33433075770705	What do you think it was? ” “ Fifty dollars? ” her mother guessed.
nyp.33433075770705	What have you done, that I should accuse you? ” “ I ’ve done nothing, Roger, that you ».
nyp.33433075770705	What if Beverley had somehow been in O’Reilly ’s power?
nyp.33433075770705	What if behind it he should find her lying?
nyp.33433075770705	What if it should contain legal documents belonging to some client of O’Reilly ’s?
nyp.33433075770705	What if she had contrived to steal them, and O’Reilly had followed, for reprisals?
nyp.33433075770705	What if she had n't been able to get back to her room after the murder?
nyp.33433075770705	What if she had written him love letters which afterward she wished to get back, and he refused to surrender?
nyp.33433075770705	What if the girl had pretended illness as an excuse to bring O’Reilly into the flat, and the man had frightened Beverley into giving him the pearls?
nyp.33433075770705	What if they had been telling Roger?
nyp.33433075770705	What if they were connected with the past terror which had begun lately to seem as dim as a dreadful dream?
nyp.33433075770705	What is it to us? ” “ Well, I feel queer about it, ” objected Dolores Heron.
nyp.33433075770705	What was it Clo had said, that day?
nyp.33433075770705	What was she to do with the other five?
nyp.33433075770705	What would Angel do when she heard how dreadfully the errand had failed?
nyp.33433075770705	What would she do for love of a man?
nyp.33433075770705	What's Krantz's number? ” “ Ca n’t give it to you without looking it up.

nyp.33433075770705	What's happened? ” she inquired of the innermost group.
nyp.33433075770705	What?
nyp.33433075770705	When he comes back he's likely to go away again at once. ” THE BLUFF THAT FAILED 83 “ Aw, he is, is he? ” echoed Peterson.
nyp.33433075770705	When'll you be there? ” This was a blow.
nyp.33433075770705	Where are we, anyhow? ” “ Same house you were in.
nyp.33433075770705	Where is it now? ’ “ I told her I had n’t seen any envelope, which was perfectly true.

nyp.33433075770705	Where ’s the safest place? ” “ What ’s the matter with here? ” “ It wo n’t do, ” she answered.
nyp.33433075770705	Which should he do, look for a message in the pocket of the coat Clo had left, or dash upstairs and find out which way she had gone?
nyp.33433075770705	Which were the most likely to hide a secret?
nyp.33433075770705	Who called out ‘ Come in! ” in a man ’s voice, when Peterson was dead?
nyp.33433075770705	Who could tell what he might do, if tempted by big bribes to “ frame ” his pals?
nyp.33433075770705	Who did it? ” “ The other man must have done it, the one who followed you on to the train. ” “ But he was never near Rog.
nyp.33433075770705	Who, then, had opened the door?
nyp.33433075770705	Why borrow trouble?
nyp.33433075770705	Why should Ibe worried? ” she echoed.
nyp.33433075770705	Will they advertise again in the newspapers?
nyp.33433075770705	Will they send another man, now Peterson is dead?
nyp.33433075770705	Will they telephone?
nyp.33433075770705	Will you come with me?
nyp.33433075770705	Will you have it now? ” Roger asked.
nyp.33433075770705	Will you let me down your way? ” So speaking she laid a ten- dollar bill and a five- dollar bill side by side on a table.
nyp.33433075770705	Will you let me take you to a quiet restaurant?
nyp.33433075770705	Will you listen, Roger, until the end, whether you can forgive me or no? ”- “ Yes, ” Roger answered.
nyp.33433075770705	Will you?
nyp.33433075770705	Wo n't you let me know where you are? ” The girl dared not answer by letter or newspaper.

nyp.33433075770705	You were a brave little soldier going into battle on your own. ” “ A soldier?

nyp.33433075770705	You ’ll see me through till the last? ” “ I will, ” said Roger.
nyp.33433075770705	You ’re ready?
nyp.33433075770705	You ’re sure it has n’t been stolen from you?
nyp.33433075770705	You're better, are n't you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075770705	You're going to live for me, are n't you?
nyp.33433075770705	about that poor child and me? ” “ Naturally!
nyp.33433075770705	be- fore? ” “ I thought it possible.
nyp.33433075770705	could Justin O’Reilly have been the man from whom she wished to hide?
nyp.33433075770705	is there nothing I can do? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433075770705	is there?
nyp.33433075770705	why? ” he stammered.
nyp.33433075770705	‘ Did any one come in? ’ I echoed, when Mrs. Sands put the question.
nyp.33433075770705	‘ Did you leave the room, for so much as a second, after I left you? ” she asked, with her eyes on my face.
nyp.33433075770705	‘ Would n't I have mentioned it to you the first thing, if any one had?"
nyp.33433075770705	“ And meanwhile you'll come and call on me in the stateroom sometimes if you do n’t mind? ” Roger smiled.
nyp.33433075770705	“ And talking of time, what about the time you ’ve done? ”.
nyp.33433075770705	“ And the letter from the Queen? ” “ From* er Majesty ’s secretaire, ” Count Lovoresco corrected.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Angel, are you praying for me? ” she wondered.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Anybody interesting here? ” asked Justin, when the waiter had gone.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Are you there? ” she called.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Ca n’t we take her away in my car? ” asked Beverley.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Ca n’t you think of some place Pete does n’t know?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Could she possibly know any- thing?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Could you like me enough to think of me as a hus- band, if we'd met in a conventional, society sort of way? ” “ Yes, I could.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Curse her, she thought she ’d do us, did she? ” The words tumbled out between his brown, broken teeth, as he dashed his fist on to the papers.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Darling, what has he said, what has he done to you? ” the girl implored.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Do you dislike me? ” he began his catechism.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Do you know where it is? ” “ Yes, ” said O'Reilly.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Does my wife know you asked for me when she could n’t come? ’ was the first thing he said after he ’d stood quite still for a second or two.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Gone — from- where? ”.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Guessed by my complexion, did yuh?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Had Peterson taken them?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Has Mr. Sands come in? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Has anything happened?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Has it anything to do with the pearls?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Have I Madame's permission?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Have n’t you often read books about private detec- tives?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Have they kept their word?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Have you seen Heron since he got to New York? ” said the doctor.
nyp.33433075770705	“ How can I thank you enough? ” “ Thanks from you to me!
nyp.33433075770705	“ How can that have been?
nyp.33433075770705	“ How dare the brute have a name like mine? ” “ Why, so it is like, ” said Beverley.
nyp.33433075770705	“ How do you do, O’Reilly? ” he said, with a slight stiffness.
nyp.33433075770705	“ How often have I begged you not to knock? ” he broke out at her.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I don't — but perhaps someone has sent you with a message? ” “ In a way, yes, that ’s it, ” said the man.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I hope you do n’t feel weak or ‘ tottery ’? ” Clo did feel very weak, not from fatigue, but from excitement.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I hope — the news is good? ” “ It ’s a long message, ” the man answered.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I wonder if it ’s anything you ’d like Mr. Sands to mix up in, or if you ’d rather attend to it yourself?
nyp.33433075770705	“ I wonder if she's made a mistake in the room? ” Mrs. Heron had whispered, and Heron had returned: “ Yes, I think that must be so.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I wonder why he went out? ” said Kit.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I ’m sure everything will go well, are n’t you? ”"“ I hope so, ” he said, gravely.
nyp.33433075770705	“ I ’ve a hundred things to say and ask, you child or imp, but first of all, where do you want to go?
nyp.33433075770705	“ If I had only myself to think of, do n’t you know I ’d have told you everything?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Is n’t she related to your friend, Justin O'Reilly? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Is that friend you talk of more than a friend? ” “ No, only a person I trusted for reasons I ca n’t tell you. ” “ I see.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Is your friend there?
nyp.33433075770705	“ May I know your name? ” he inquired, as they faced each other.
nyp.33433075770705	“ May I pass?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Oh, but is he in New York? ” “ He does n’t live in New York, but he's here now.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Oh, dear, what shall I do if he does n’t come? ” Clodagh asked herself, thinking fearfully about the chauffeur — and about Sister Lake.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Oh, have we kept you? ” the girl cried, throwing open the door before the automobile stopped.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Oh, was n’t it dreadful that the rope snapped? ” she hurried on.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Oh, why should n’t I have her at my house?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Shall I come in? ” Clo was cordial, and tried to be entertaining.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Shall we knock and ask O’Reilly if he's ready to go down with us? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075770705	“ She was n’t told I ’m in, I hope?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Somebody was beastly to her, I guess. ” THE MOUSE 23 “ Is she dead? ” Beverley asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ The creature may be a hotel thief? ” “ Nonsense! ” fumed the man.
nyp.33433075770705	“ The enve- “ WHAT ’S DONE CAN'T BE UNDONE ” 191 lope? ” she gasped, as if she were choked by a hand on her throat.
nyp.33433075770705	“ The young lady did n’t give you any other mes- sage? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Thinking what we ought to do? ” his wife caught him up.

nyp.33433075770705	“ Was n’t it you who sent them? ” he went on.
nyp.33433075770705	“ We must get away as soon as we can, for Roger's sake! ” “ But what about the papers, and the pearls? ” Clo persisted.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Were n't you told that Heron was trying to buy them for his wife? ” O’Reilly waived her question with another.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What are a few pearls more or less compared to Miss Riley ’s convenience? ” “ Oh, Roger! ” Beverley burst into tears.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What are you going to beg for, if not money?
nyp.33433075770705	“ What can I do for you? ” was the question he asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What could I know? ” she echoed.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What did I tell you about dat key? ” Churn caught her up.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What do you know about Krantz ’s Keller? ” “ I ’ll tell you that, and other things, when we arrive, ” said Clo.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What do you mean? ” asked Sands.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What do you say to marrying me and going on to New York as my wife? ” For a minute he thought she was going to faint.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What is it?
nyp.33433075770705	“ What was the gentleman's name, Johnson?
nyp.33433075770705	“ What will they do next?
nyp.33433075770705	“ What ’s happened? ” “ N- n- nothing, ” she stammered.

nyp.33433075770705	“ What ’s the matter, Jack? ” Mrs. Heron asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What ’s the matter, my darling? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What'old would Chuff’ave on a woman married mit a big fellah like Sands? ” Churn wanted to know.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What's happened? ” she implored.
nyp.33433075770705	“ What's this I ’ve been reading in the Evening Star? ” he broke in.

nyp.33433075770705	“ Where can he be? ” she said.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Where shall I tell him to go, miss? ” came the question as she stepped into the cab; and for half a second she hesitated.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Who knows but the murderer was hiding in the trunk, and jumped in his fright when I plumped down on it?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Why are you dressed like this?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Why do n’t you speak? ” she persisted.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Why should you take me on faith, and refuse it to another?
nyp.33433075770705	“ Why wo n’t you let me call the police? ” she heard Mrs. Mac asking.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Will you please ask me in? ” she said.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Wo n't you dine with me? ”- “ But you ’ve finished.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Wo n't you let me help you, sir? ” he civilly in- quired.
nyp.33433075770705	“ Wy she let herself be skinned like dat, for Stephen's dead an ’ stiff dese tree weeks or more? ” “ Yes, ” Kit repeated.
nyp.33433075770705	“ You again, is it?
nyp.33433075770705	“ You do n’t mean that ’s where she came from?
nyp.33433075770705	“ You do n’t want them any more? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433075770705	“ You know I adore you? ”.
nyp.33433075770705	“ You sent for me, Miss Blackburne? ” she asked, as she threw open the door.
nyp.33433075770705	“ You — you ca n’t be crying? ” she mumbled.
nyp.33433075770705	“ You ’ve brought the pearls, of course? ” Roger asked.
nyp.33433075770705	“ ‘ You sent for me? ” she asked, and threw a look round the room, as if searching for someone.
nyp.33433076068067	Again?
nyp.33433076068067	And you got the stuff at Skunk's Misery, out of a bottle like this? nyp.33433076068067 Any- thing else?"
nyp.33433076068067	Anything gone wrong?
nyp.33433076068067	Are you safe from your mother here — and can you get food for yourself?
nyp.33433076068067	Bide?
nyp.33433076068067	But why stay here — with Dudley?
nyp.33433076068067	But — why? nyp.33433076068067 But"—Collins halted where he swarmed up into Thompson's stope —"where'll you go?
nyp.33433076068067	By gad,it said,"he would, would he?
nyp.33433076068067	Ca n't you see you've no reason to worry about Hutton? nyp.33433076068067 Call a couple of the bunk- house men- to carry these four back to their shack and clean up this mess, will you?
nyp.33433076068067	Can you do two more miles of running, over that?
nyp.33433076068067	Charliet was? nyp.33433076068067 Collins?"
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye know Marcia thinks Macartney wants to marry her?
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean to say you've been living here, hiding, ever since you cleared out, and I thought the wolves ate you? nyp.33433076068067 D'ye mean you came to fight wolves?"
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean you left Dudley — out there in the bush? nyp.33433076068067 D'ye mean you saw him — when he shot them?"
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean you think he never went to Caraquet?
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean you'd known Dudley before?
nyp.33433076068067	Did you Were you looking for any one?
nyp.33433076068067	Do n't you think so, Paul- ette?
nyp.33433076068067	Do you mean Thompson's been found dead?—the quiet man who was here when I came?
nyp.33433076068067	Do you mean you want to go back?
nyp.33433076068067	Do? nyp.33433076068067 Does Macartney think so too?"
nyp.33433076068067	Drive on, will you?
nyp.33433076068067	Dudley?
nyp.33433076068067	Going to bed?
nyp.33433076068067	Have you brought the — other girl — to hunt wolves, too?
nyp.33433076068067	Have you run over a hundred skunks?
nyp.33433076068067	How did you get here?
nyp.33433076068067	How did you get — out of Thompson's stope? nyp.33433076068067 How far are we from Billy Jones's?"
nyp.33433076068067	How fast do you dare go?
nyp.33433076068067	How?
nyp.33433076068067	I mean — for what I said to Nicky as we came in?
nyp.33433076068067	I? nyp.33433076068067 If I've helped you at all, why ca n't you tell me all the trouble, instead of Dudley?"
nyp.33433076068067	Is n't it? nyp.33433076068067 Just what — are you going to do?"
nyp.33433076068067	Look here, do you know you shot a man in the swamp?
nyp.33433076068067	Lying round loose?
nyp.33433076068067	Me?
nyp.33433076068067	Mr. Stret- ton, you're not angry with me for coming with you?
nyp.33433076068067	Next?
nyp.33433076068067	Oh, it's you, Stretton? nyp.33433076068067 Oh,"Paulette cried as sharply as if I had struck her,"do you mean you're taking me on trust — in spite of everything?"
nyp.33433076068067	Put a bullet in him? nyp.33433076068067 See them?"
nyp.33433076068067	She's what?
nyp.33433076068067	So, as I had to come with you,she resumed Lac Tremblant 271 without looking at me,"do n't you think we'd better get on?
nyp.33433076068067	Take her from me, will you?
nyp.33433076068067	Then why, in heaven's name, did n't you tell Dudley who he was?
nyp.33433076068067	Then,said my dream girl quietly,"will you please stop the horses?"
nyp.33433076068067	To come back and take a letter — where you had taken his horse?
nyp.33433076068067	Valenka? nyp.33433076068067 Was he?"
nyp.33433076068067	Was that Macartney?
nyp.33433076068067	Well?
nyp.33433076068067	What are we going to do — first?
nyp.33433076068067	What are you do- ing here? nyp.33433076068067 What d'ye mean?"
nyp.33433076068067	What did you mean, just now, about not be- ing sure of me — with Hutton?
nyp.33433076068067	What do you suppose became of Charliet? nyp.33433076068067 What happened about him?"
nyp.33433076068067	What on earth is Skunk's Mis- ery?
nyp.33433076068067	What on earth put wolves in your head?
nyp.33433076068067	What the devil's the matter with you, Macartney? nyp.33433076068067 What the dickens possessed you to take Paulette with you that night?
nyp.33433076068067	What thief?
nyp.33433076068067	What were you going to say to- night about no one having seen poor old Thompson — when you cut yourself off?
nyp.33433076068067	What — Skunk's Misery?
nyp.33433076068067	What's brought you back again?
nyp.33433076068067	What's that?
nyp.33433076068067	What's the matter with you? nyp.33433076068067 What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	What?
nyp.33433076068067	When did he write this?
nyp.33433076068067	Where the devil have you been all day? nyp.33433076068067 Where was his canoe?"
nyp.33433076068067	Where'd you get him?
nyp.33433076068067	Where's your gold?
nyp.33433076068067	Who found it? nyp.33433076068067 Who was right, Nicky Stretton?"
nyp.33433076068067	Who's to say he did n't?
nyp.33433076068067	Why did n't you tell me all that — the night I came over to your mother's?
nyp.33433076068067	Why under heaven do you work me up about abstract justice, Macartney?
nyp.33433076068067	Why? nyp.33433076068067 Why?"
nyp.33433076068067	Wolves?
nyp.33433076068067	You know that? nyp.33433076068067 You're not angry, Dud- Skunk's Misery 291 ley?"
nyp.33433076068067	You're sure she did n't go and tell that man about me, anyway?
nyp.33433076068067	You?
nyp.33433076068067	242 The La Chance Mine Mystery"Charliet,"said I blankly;"where in the world is he?
nyp.33433076068067	6o~ The La Chance Mine Mystery"What for?"
nyp.33433076068067	And Dudley's self- important voice cut through my thoughts like a knife:"Where on earth were you this evening, Paulette?"
nyp.33433076068067	And what's hap- pened to my gold?"
nyp.33433076068067	And where the devil's Billy?"
nyp.33433076068067	Anything I can do for you?"
nyp.33433076068067	But Dudley snapped at him:"Why ca n't you say it's in the house — in my office?
nyp.33433076068067	But I said,"Then why's she here?"
nyp.33433076068067	But Paulette only gasped, as if she did not care whether I knew it or not,"Where — how — did you get these cards?"
nyp.33433076068067	But before I could say so Dudley burst out with the same truculence he had used about Billy Jones:"What d'ye mean Stretton must have heard?"
nyp.33433076068067	But want you — when do you sup- pose I have n't wanted you, ever since the night I first saw you by Dudley's fire?
nyp.33433076068067	But what troubles me is — can't you see he'd gone crazy?
nyp.33433076068067	But — where in heaven's name was Paul- ette now?
nyp.33433076068067	But —"You're sure about Paill- ette?"
nyp.33433076068067	But"—sharply—"where the devil's Mar- cia?"
nyp.33433076068067	But, if it were, why did not Paulette Brown say so,—or say something — instead of stand- ing dead white and silent till I turned away?
nyp.33433076068067	But, if you know the inside of the business, how did that cousin Macartney was talking of ever get hold of that emerald necklace?
nyp.33433076068067	CHAPTER IV THE MAN IN THE DARK It sounded crazy, for what could a girl like that do to gold that was securely packed?
nyp.33433076068067	CHAPTER X I INTERFERE FOR THE LAST TIME “ Must I go now — in the moonlight clear?
nyp.33433076068067	Ca n't you see I mean to do all I can to Macartney Hears a Noise 149 help you — and Dudley?"
nyp.33433076068067	Ca n't you see I was afraid, Nicky, that you might — get killed for me, too?"
nyp.33433076068067	Can you ride?"
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye know him?
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean he had n't told you about Collins and Dunn?
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean you did n't see him going through?"
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean you knew who she was, too?"
nyp.33433076068067	D'ye mean you thought you did?"
nyp.33433076068067	Did n't Macartney imply he was in British Colum- bia?"
nyp.33433076068067	Did n't they say what it was?"
nyp.33433076068067	Did you suppose Stretton here could fight me?
nyp.33433076068067	Do you hear?
nyp.33433076068067	Do you mean you're going to run away with that — that girl?"
nyp.33433076068067	Does this mean he killed Thompson, too?"
nyp.33433076068067	Dost thou and thine then side with me?
nyp.33433076068067	Going to trust us?"
nyp.33433076068067	Got any- thing to say against that, hey?"
nyp.33433076068067	Have we got to be quite so quick?"
nyp.33433076068067	He had a flask, of course,—when had he not?
nyp.33433076068067	He'd got into trouble over a copper mine — you've heard Macartney talk of the Urals?
nyp.33433076068067	I Oh, ca n't you see I'll be like a rat in a trap?—not able to do anything?
nyp.33433076068067	I had no time to hatch up a lie about him, and I was not going to drag in Paulette —"that — whoever was there, never even fired at you?"
nyp.33433076068067	I inquired absently, because I was rummaging my pockets for cartridges,"Who'd dare?
nyp.33433076068067	I nodded back at the teamsters:"Where did they find him?"
nyp.33433076068067	I said,"How d'ye mean Dudley's killed?
nyp.33433076068067	I said,"What hell's trick are you up to now?"
nyp.33433076068067	I""Well?"
nyp.33433076068067	If he did take it, to get me into his power"— she caught my arm in her slim hands I had always known were so strong —"ca n't you see he's got me?"

nyp.33433076068067	My God, what ani I going to do?"
nyp.33433076068067	My heart of hearts, do n't you know I love you?"
nyp.33433076068067	Oh, who was that cried out in death?
nyp.33433076068067	Oh, why did n't I throw the thing away into the woods, long ago?"
nyp.33433076068067	Oh, you would, would you?"
nyp.33433076068067	Remember?"
nyp.33433076068067	See them?"
nyp.33433076068067	Some- body — not Charliet — shouted over the noise,"What the devil's that for?"
nyp.33433076068067	That good- for- nothing devil who was always trailing after ycu?
nyp.33433076068067	That you did n't love the poor chap best?"
nyp.33433076068067	That you knew all along who Macartney was — and never told me?"
nyp.33433076068067	Unless,"he turned boldly to her,"you do n't want that, Miss Valenka?"
nyp.33433076068067	What about the Mappin murder, way back in nineteen- five?
nyp.33433076068067	What about the first time I take any gold out over the Caraquet road — and he and his gang try a hold- up on me?"
nyp.33433076068067	What am I going to do?
nyp.33433076068067	What are you up for?"
nyp.33433076068067	What do you suppose I'd ever have been in this game for, if I had n't wanted just you in all this world?
nyp.33433076068067	What do you want?"
nyp.33433076068067	What have you done with Macart — with Dick Hutton — that you said j'ou had him safe for now?"
nyp.33433076068067	What he?"
nyp.33433076068067	What in hell do you mean?"
nyp.33433076068067	What was her name?
nyp.33433076068067	Where is he?"
nyp.33433076068067	Where the devil was Baker, that black and white weasel you set to look after him?
nyp.33433076068067	Who killed him?"
nyp.33433076068067	Why did n't you come Macartney Hears a Noise 163 and cut them off when I yelled for you?
nyp.33433076068067	Why on earth are you poking in the ashes?
nyp.33433076068067	Why?"
nyp.33433076068067	Yet,"Where do you suppose Macartney is?"
nyp.33433076068067	You believe me, do n't you?
nyp.33433076068067	You do n't think Dudley can be right and they are still alive — and have joined Dick's gang?"
nyp.33433076068067	You must have heard about her, Stretton?"
nyp.33433076068067	You're not afraid we'll be held up, are you?
nyp.33433076068067	she said between her teeth,"and that, next thing, he'll get the La Chance gold?
nyp.33433074961289	- “ You are happy? ” Elizabeth murmured, as she took his arm and they waited in the portico below for her automobile.
nyp.33433074961289	232 THE CINEMA MURDER “ How do you want me to answer that? ” the girl asked, slackening her pace a little.
nyp.33433074961289	44 Why?
nyp.33433074961289	6% Yes?
nyp.33433074961289	A month or so ago who were you?
nyp.33433074961289	A stranger, Miss Wenderley?
nyp.33433074961289	Am I right? ” He laughed.
nyp.33433074961289	And as to friends, ” she whispered, looking up at him with a little provocative gleam in her eyes, “ do n’t you count?
nyp.33433074961289	And would you like something in advance? ” “ No! ” she replied grudgingly.
nyp.33433074961289	And, after all, it is a woman ’s gift, is n’t it? ” There followed then a silence which seemed inter- minable.
nyp.33433074961289	Are n’t you Mr. Douglas Romilly? ” Philip shook his head.
nyp.33433074961289	Are n’t you afraid?
nyp.33433074961289	Are n’t you ter- rified?
nyp.33433074961289	Are you a faithful person?
nyp.33433074961289	Are you a ghost? ” “ Of course not, ” he answered, with a calm which surprised him.
nyp.33433074961289	Are you afraid of the naked words?
nyp.33433074961289	Are you conscientious?
nyp.33433074961289	Are you content?
nyp.33433074961289	Are you going to take just the things that are given you in life, and make no return?
nyp.33433074961289	Are you scared? ” He laughed at her once more.
nyp.33433074961289	Are you waiting to clothe your phrases?
nyp.33433074961289	At what time? ” Her face grew more puzzled.

nyp.33433074961289	Ca n’t imagine why you bother about me. ” “ Shall I tell you why, really? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074961289	Ca n’t you do what I am going to do, Philip?
nyp.33433074961289	Ca n’t you draw down that curtain? ” He shivered.
nyp.33433074961289	Ca n’t you leave me alone until they come from England? ” Mr. Dane shook his head slowly.
nyp.33433074961289	Ca n’t you see this thing as I see it?

nyp.33433074961289	Can I have my luggage sent there direct? ” “ By all means, sir. ” “ Every article is properly labelled, ” Philip con- tinued.
nyp.33433074961289	Can you be content with silence for a little time? ” “ Of course, ” he assured her.

nyp.33433074961289	Crossed many times, sir? ” “ Never before, ” Philip answered.

nyp.33433074961289	Do you e?
nyp.33433074961289	Do you hear that?
nyp.33433074961289	Do you know that I am watched, day by day?
nyp.33433074961289	Do you know why? ” She sat quite still for a moment.
nyp.33433074961289	Do you think I am, Philip? ” He was following her down- stairs now.
nyp.33433074961289	Do you want me to go on? ” She hesitated.
nyp.33433074961289	Douglas Romilly? ”& g Yes!
nyp.33433074961289	Elizabeth! ” º Well?
nyp.33433074961289	Everything has gone well? ” “ So far as I know, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074961289	For how long?
nyp.33433074961289	For me what was there?
nyp.33433074961289	Have you a heart, I wonder?
nyp.33433074961289	Have you ever bought a woman ’s hat, Philip? ” “ Never, ” he answered, truthfully enough.
nyp.33433074961289	Have you ordered any wine, Philip?
nyp.33433074961289	He heard the low, gur- gling shriek of terror; he looked into the eyes with the fear of hell before them?
nyp.33433074961289	He must be dead if you say so, but he does n’t look it, does he? ” Philip's face had become a more natural colour.
nyp.33433074961289	He was conscious of a mysterious and unfamiliar perfume, perhaps from the violets half hidden in her furs, or was it something in her hair?
nyp.33433074961289	How am I going to get you out of the way? ” “ You ca n’t do it, ” Philip asserted.
nyp.33433074961289	How could I write in any other way except through the darkened spectacles?
nyp.33433074961289	How do you suppose I have lived here these last three years, a teacher in the national schools?
nyp.33433074961289	How long a trip do you intend to THE CINEMA MURDER 79 make, anyway?
nyp.33433074961289	How long will it be before they are out from the typewriting department? ” “ Typewriting department? ” the man repeated.
nyp.33433074961289	How long will it be before they are out from the typewriting department? ” “ Typewriting department? ” the man repeated.
nyp.33433074961289	How much do you get to eat and drink out of that?
nyp.33433074961289	How much is twenty thousand pounds in dollars, Philip? ” “ A little over a hundred thousand, ” he told her.
nyp.33433074961289	How much of the man is there underneath that strong frame of yours?
nyp.33433074961289	How we used to spend our holidays out in those dingy fields and hope and pray for better things some day?
nyp.33433074961289	How well had he known Elizabeth?
nyp.33433074961289	How would a fight suit you? ” Ware's hand was in his overcoat pocket.
nyp.33433074961289	I am sorry for you, if that ’s anything. ” “ Sorry for me?
nyp.33433074961289	I am waiting to hear from you — what would you have done in her place? ” He answered her at once, and he spoke from the lesser heights.
nyp.33433074961289	I have been watching you for exactly three months and fourteen days. ” “ Watching me? ” Philip repeated.
nyp.33433074961289	I have crossed with you before, have n’t I, sir? ” he went on affably, turning to his nearest neighbour on the left.
nyp.33433074961289	I have told you the way I choose. ” 27o THE CINEMA MURDER “ You want me to marry you? ” he demanded — “ simply marry you?
nyp.33433074961289	I have told you the way I choose. ” 27o THE CINEMA MURDER “ You want me to marry you? ” he demanded — “ simply marry you?
nyp.33433074961289	I suppose she knew about that? ” “ Yes, she knew, ” he admitted.
nyp.33433074961289	I wondered whether it might have been any relation? ” “ I read the message, ” Philip admitted.
nyp.33433074961289	If they would sometimes dust these steps — but, after all, it does n’t matter to you now, does it?
nyp.33433074961289	If you know it you ’re a fool, and I ’m here to tell you so. ” “ Have you been drinking? ” Philip asked calmly.
nyp.33433074961289	If you were so sure of your facts, why did n’t you arrest me at once instead of just watching me? ” The man ’s eyes were like gimlets.
nyp.33433074961289	If you ’ll 94 THE CINEMA MURDER “ Done much visiting around? ” she enquired.
nyp.33433074961289	Is he alive, after all? ” Philip had no words, but his face spoke for him.
nyp.33433074961289	Is she more likely to find them with me or with him? ” “ Power's wife is still alive, ” she ruminated.
nyp.33433074961289	Is that you, Philip? ” “ I am here, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074961289	Is there anywhere else in the world, I wonder?
nyp.33433074961289	Is this the door? ” Philip nodded and knocked softly.
nyp.33433074961289	It is n’t in his beat? ” THE CINEMA MURDER 2I5 wand.
nyp.33433074961289	It is queer, is n’t it, how naturally you fall into the rôle? ” She drew a little nearer to him.
nyp.33433074961289	It was sent off from Detton Magna, L “ Why did you not come as promised?
nyp.33433074961289	It will be in all the papers, you know. ” “ Spoil your clothes some, would n’t it? ” she re- marked, looking at them disparagingly.
nyp.33433074961289	It ’s a success, do you hear?
nyp.33433074961289	It ’s real swell, and they say the food ’s wonder- ful. ” “ I could go as I am, I suppose? ” he asked, glanc- ing down at his clothes.
nyp.33433074961289	Just here from Jamaica, eh?
nyp.33433074961289	Just what were your feelings for Beatrice? ” “ I think I was fond of her, ” he answered thought- fully.
nyp.33433074961289	Life and chess are both like that. ” “ Would you help me, I wonder? ” he asked im- pulsively.
nyp.33433074961289	Life ’s good at your age — better than when I found you, eh? ” “ You do n’t think I am ungrateful? ” she asked, a little wistfully.
nyp.33433074961289	Life ’s good at your age — better than when I found you, eh? ” “ You do n’t think I am ungrateful? ” she asked, a little wistfully.
nyp.33433074961289	Mr. Power? ” The telephone had become a dumb thing.
nyp.33433074961289	Mr. Romilly, is n’t it? ” he went on, glancing at his left- hand neighbour's card once more.
nyp.33433074961289	No idea why, I suppose? ” “ Not the slightest. ” The detective glanced towards the clock.
nyp.33433074961289	Not much any one can tell you, sir. ” “ Pays his bill in American money, I suppose? ” the diner asked.
nyp.33433074961289	Nothing disturbing has happened to you at all, then? ” “ Once I had a fright, ” he told her.
nyp.33433074961289	Now give me some money, do you hear? ” He took out his pocketbook and threw it towards her.
nyp.33433074961289	Now, Mr. Dane, what is it you say in America when you want to introduce anybody?
nyp.33433074961289	Philip, what is it? ” He pointed with steady finger.
nyp.33433074961289	Philip, what is the matter with me?
nyp.33433074961289	Shall I find my own way out? ” “ You can find your way to hell! ” Power roared.
nyp.33433074961289	Shall I tell you why?
nyp.33433074961289	She is ambitious — Lord knows why?
nyp.33433074961289	She sat at my table. ” “ How much does she know about you? ” Beatrice asked bluntly.
nyp.33433074961289	So you ’ve come for him, eh? ” she went on, turning almost like a wild- cat on Dane.
nyp.33433074961289	Sylvanus?
nyp.33433074961289	Take a seat, wo n’t you, and chat with us a little longer?
nyp.33433074961289	Tell me how it is that with all your success you have n’t been happy? ” “ Memories'"he answered harshly.
nyp.33433074961289	Tell me what you think of yourself, Mr. Philip Merton Ware?
nyp.33433074961289	Tell me why you went without coming near me?
nyp.33433074961289	Tell me, have you anything particular to do? ” THE CINEMA MURDER I89 “ Nothing, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074961289	Tell me, why do you look so white and unhappy? ” “ I am sorry the voyage is over, ” he confessed.
nyp.33433074961289	Tell us how you came to think of all this?
nyp.33433074961289	Thank you for coming to meet me, but I do n’t think you ’d better stop. ” “ Why not? ” he asked gently.
nyp.33433074961289	That kind of stumped him. ” “ Why did you do that? ” Philip demanded.
nyp.33433074961289	That makes you cringe, does n’t it?
nyp.33433074961289	That ought to be easy. ” “ Ought it? ” he answered grimly.
nyp.33433074961289	That ’s all there is about it. ” “ That so? ” the detective observed, with quiet sar- casm.
nyp.33433074961289	That ’s the true history of our little fracas. ” “ But afterwards? ” Philip asked wonderingly.
nyp.33433074961289	The clergyman, perhaps?
nyp.33433074961289	The girl ’s coming back to- morrow, though, worse luck. ” “ When did you have your lunch? ” “ Have n’t had any.
nyp.33433074961289	Then he set his teeth and 234 THE CINEMA MURDER Had them in water since last night, have n’t you? ” She made a little grimace at him.
nyp.33433074961289	There was a certain ignominy in being sent about his busi- ness, just because this colossus from the West had appeared and claimed — what?
nyp.33433074961289	This morning — why, surely they are brown? ” “ You see, that is all according to the light, ” she confided.
nyp.33433074961289	Understand? ” The maître d'hôtel bowed.
nyp.33433074961289	Want to know everybody ’s business, do n’t you? ” The porter withdrew, a little huffed.
nyp.33433074961289	Was it true, that rumour he had once heard — that the first step in her fortunes had been due to the caprice of a mil- lionaire?
nyp.33433074961289	Was unhappiness so necessary, after all?
nyp.33433074961289	Well, you must pay, do you see, and in my way?
nyp.33433074961289	Were you in the house to- night? ” “ Only for a moment. ” “ Going stronger than ever, ” Bridges continued impressively.
nyp.33433074961289	What about it?
nyp.33433074961289	What am I to do?
nyp.33433074961289	What are you doing with yourself here all alone? ” Philip turned to answer him, and suddenly felt the fire blaze up again.
nyp.33433074961289	What are you going to do with this play of yours? ” “ Miss Elizabeth Dalstan has promised to produce it, ” he told her.
nyp.33433074961289	What can I do for you? ” The detective eyed Philip steadfastly.
nyp.33433074961289	What can they hope to find there in his place? ” His evil moments for that afternoon were over.
nyp.33433074961289	What did it mean when Elizabeth told him she was engaged for to- night?
nyp.33433074961289	What do you mean by saying you ’re not that sort? ” “ You know well enough, ” she answered defiantly.
nyp.33433074961289	What do you think? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433074961289	What do you want more than that?
nyp.33433074961289	What do you want with me? ” Conversation in the room was almost suspended.
nyp.33433074961289	What had come to these men that they failed to recognise it?
nyp.33433074961289	What happened when they came out? ” “ That, ” Mr. Raymond Greene said impressively, “ is the point of the story.
nyp.33433074961289	What have you got to say to me? ” “ This, ” Sylvanus Power declared, striking the desk with his clenched fist.
nyp.33433074961289	What is it that you have gained, I wonder?
nyp.33433074961289	What is it they pay you, ” she went on contemptuously, “ at that miserable art school of yours?
nyp.33433074961289	What made you take it for granted that I should n’t want to employ you, and go and hide yourself?
nyp.33433074961289	What might your output be in England per week?
nyp.33433074961289	What sort of a machine do you use? ” “ Remington, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074961289	What sort of clothes have you to wear?
nyp.33433074961289	What then?
nyp.33433074961289	Where did you meet Elizabeth Dalstan? ” “ I came over with her on the Elletania, ” he an- swered thoughtlessly.
nyp.33433074961289	Where did you meet her, and how did you get her to accept your play? ” “ She was on the Elletania, ” he explained.
nyp.33433074961289	Where was I to meet women when I did n’t even know men?
nyp.33433074961289	Where ’s Douglas? ” There was no answer.
nyp.33433074961289	Who else?
nyp.33433074961289	Who produced it at the New York Theatre and acted in it so that people could n’t listen without a sob in their throats and a tingling all over?
nyp.33433074961289	Who took your play?
nyp.33433074961289	Who's done it all? ” THE CINEMA MURDER 207 “ Of course, my play being successful, ” he began — She broke in at once.
nyp.33433074961289	Who's that? ” he enquired.
nyp.33433074961289	Why did n’t you let me know you were coming? ” “ Perhaps it would have been better, ” he agreed quietly.
nyp.33433074961289	Why do n’t you come along? ” Philip hesitated for a second and then, somewhat to the other ’s surprise, assented.
nyp.33433074961289	Why do you come here to me in this very unofficial manner?
nyp.33433074961289	Why do you look at me as though I were a ghost? ” She started violently.
nyp.33433074961289	Why?
nyp.33433074961289	Why?
nyp.33433074961289	Will you spare me half an hour if I come round? ” “ Tell me exactly what it is you want? ” Philip insisted.
nyp.33433074961289	Will you spare me half an hour if I come round? ” “ Tell me exactly what it is you want? ” Philip insisted.
nyp.33433074961289	Women ’s shoes and misses ’, is n’t it? ” Elizabeth intervened swiftly, shaking her finger at the journalist.
nyp.33433074961289	You are crossing, are n’t you, on the Elletania? ” Philip remained monosyllabic.
nyp.33433074961289	You are living at high pressure, are you not?
nyp.33433074961289	You are not by way of being in the Profession, are you? ” Romilly shook his head.
nyp.33433074961289	You are over here on business, we understand? ” Philip was taken aback and for the moment re- mained speechless.
nyp.33433074961289	You ca n’t have the key to- day. ” “ Why not? ” Philip asked in surprise.
nyp.33433074961289	You chose to- night, did you?
nyp.33433074961289	You did n’t ever care really for that girl, did you? ” He almost laughed.
nyp.33433074961289	You do not care whether I have any love for you or whether I loathe you now. ” “ You could n’t loathe me, could you? ” she begged.
nyp.33433074961289	You do n’t mind? ” “ Of course not, ” she answered, glancing at the clock.
nyp.33433074961289	You do n’t think so? ” the cinema magnate exclaimed.
nyp.33433074961289	You have n’t a friend in the city. ” “ What friends have I in England? ” she retorted.
nyp.33433074961289	You have, however, I gather, nothing to say to me? ” • “ Nothing at all, Mr. Dane, except to wish you a pleasant voyage, ” Philip declared.
nyp.33433074961289	You know Bob, do n’t you? ” Philip for a moment was taken aback.
nyp.33433074961289	You may have heard of me — Raymond Greene? ” “ I have seen some of your films, ” Philip told him.
nyp.33433074961289	You must and you shall care, Philip, because our time has come, and I want you, please — shall I have to say it, dear?
nyp.33433074961289	You read how wonderfully it has all turned out?
nyp.33433074961289	You really frighten me. ” “ Frighten you? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074961289	You were one of the two men who were walking along the towpath. ” “ Well? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433074961289	You wo n’t disappoint me, will you? ” “ I will not, ” he promised.
nyp.33433074961289	You wo n’t mind, will you, if I take him off now? ” she concluded, turning to Elizabeth.
nyp.33433074961289	You wo n’t, ‘ eh?
nyp.33433074961289	You ’re not afraid of her? ” “ I am afraid of no one or anything, ” he declared, “ when you are here!
nyp.33433074961289	You ’re not going like this?
nyp.33433074961289	You? ” “ Very, ” Philip continued.
nyp.33433074961289	Your clothes — am I mistaken about your clothes or are you dressed more expensively? ” “ I am dressed more expensively, ” she admitted.
nyp.33433074961289	a man could plunge in there and be lost, would n’t you?
nyp.33433074961289	— those tissue sheets that are stuck up in the library? ” Philip set down the menu, in which he had been taking an unusual interest.
nyp.33433074961289	— to this slim young boy of an Eng- lishman that he dared to defy him?
nyp.33433074961289	‘ Would you like to see inside? ” “ Of course, I was half crazy with curiosity.
nyp.33433074961289	“ A hundred pounds a week royalty, eh?
nyp.33433074961289	“ A journalist? ” Philip enquired carelessly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ A manservant, eh?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Am I late? ” she asked, a little breathlessly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Am I? ” she replied belligerently.
nyp.33433074961289	“ And afterwards? ” “ I went to one of the clubs down- town. ” “ What did you do there? ” she enquired.
nyp.33433074961289	“ And afterwards? ” “ I went to one of the clubs down- town. ” “ What did you do there? ” she enquired.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Any lunch? ” “ Not a scrap.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Any more stuff ready? ” “ With luck there ’ll be some this afternoon, ” he promised her.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Anything I can do for you, sir, before your luggage comes on? ” the man asked civilly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Are we going to work before we eat? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Are you a journalist? ” The man laid his hat upon a corner of the table.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Are you go- ing to your rooms here, Betty?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Are you quite sure? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Bad conscience or drugs? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ But Beatrice, ” he expostulated, “ you do n’t think of staying out here, do you?
nyp.33433074961289	“ But surely, ” he almost stammered, “ we have met before? ” Philip shook his head doubtfully.
nyp.33433074961289	“ But, Sylvanus, ” she expostulated, “ what do you mean?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Ca n’t you come round and see us this morning? ” Mr. Gayes invited.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Can I bring you any breakfast, sir? ” he en- quired.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Clerk, were you? ” she remarked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Coming over to learn a thing or two from us, eh? ” Mr. Greene went on.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Could I have just a word with you? ” Philip nodded to Louis, who at once left the room.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Could n’t we go into the library?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Did you drag your THE CINEMA MURDER 59 Mona wholly from your brain, or has she her proto- type somewhere in your world? ” He shook his head.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Do n’t you understand? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Do you really wish to work? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Do you remem- ber we used to talk about the doctrine of responsibil- ity?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Do you remember how glad I was to see you?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Do you remember last night talking about subjects for cinema plays?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Do you think it ’s for your help that I ’ve thought of you?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Down in number 110, eh? ” “ Yes, sir, ” he heard his steward ’s voice reply.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Elizabeth Dalstan? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433074961289	“ First trip, eh? ” Mr. Greene remarked, mildly interested.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Got you in, did n't I? ” he observed pleasantly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Have I?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Have a ciga- rette? ” She held it between her fingers but declined a match.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Have n’t got any clothes. ” “ If I am going like this, ” he expostulated, “ why ca n’t you go as you are?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Have one? ” “ No, thank you! ” she replied, rising briskly to her feet.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Have you been in that chair ever since? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ He built it five years ago. ” “ For a speculation? ” The actor fidgeted for a moment with his tumbler.
nyp.33433074961289	“ How can you afford to live in a place like this, then? ” she demanded suspiciously.
nyp.33433074961289	“ How much better off would you be there, I wonder, and what about when you came out?
nyp.33433074961289	“ How much do you want to spend? ” she asked bluntly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Hullo?
nyp.33433074961289	“ I am silly, ” she faltered, “ but the servants and everything — they wo n’t come back, will they? ” He laughed as he patted her hand.
nyp.33433074961289	“ I do n’t think there was ever much question of our being in love with one another, was there?
nyp.33433074961289	“ I do n’t think you know a soul, do you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ I guess you remember the bee he had in his bonnet that night. ” “ Mistook me for some one, did n’t he? ” Philip murmured.
nyp.33433074961289	“ I had supper with Noel Bridges, amongst others. ” “ Well? ” she asked, almost defiantly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ I have con- nected him with the instrument by your side. ” “ To speak with me? ” Philip repeated.
nyp.33433074961289	“ I have loved every minute of the last few days, but then we knew all the time, did n’t we, that it was just 80 THE CINEMA MURDER an interlude?
nyp.33433074961289	“ I love them to applaud like that, and yet – audiences do n’t really know, do they?
nyp.33433074961289	“ I ’d like to know who you are and what you think yourself to make a woman look like that? ” she wound up.
nyp.33433074961289	“ If I had, I should not take it from you, and further, the conditions you suggest are absurd. ” “ Bribery no good, eh? ” Mr. Power observed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ If you would n’t mind? ” she begged.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is any one living here? ” Elizabeth enquired.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is it your 42 THE CINEMA MURDER voice, I wonder, that is so soothing, or just what you say? ” She smiled reassuringly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is that Douglas Romilly?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is that girl going to be troublesome? ” she de- manded anxiously.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is there any reason for her being quite so rude to me? ” “ None that I can conceive, ” he answered.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is this Mr. Douglas Romilly, ” he enquired, “ of the Romilly Shoe Company?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Is this where you used to sit and write? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Like it?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Look here, ” he expostulated, “ are we going to do a wrestling act on the sidewalk?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Look here, ” she faltered, “ if you are Philip Romilly, where ’s he – Douglas?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Looks a trifle grim, does n’t he? ” “ It ’s the old man, right enough, ” Noel Bridges murmured.
nyp.33433074961289	“ No, thanks! ” “ Why not? ” he persisted.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Now do n’t you feel as though we were facing an adventure?
nyp.33433074961289	“ No| They are where I shall never see them again. ” “ Never see them again? ” she repeated, puzzled.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Oh, Philip, ” she whispered, “ ca n’t you forget that you have ever been a school- teacher, dear?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Oh, my dear Philip, ” she sighed, “ you really do n’t know what makes that girl so uncouth? ’ ” “ You mean Martha?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Oh, my dear Philip, ” she sighed, “ you really do n’t know what makes that girl so uncouth? ’ ” “ You mean Martha?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Philip, ” she whispered, “ it ’s true, is n’t it?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Remember what?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Say, I remember your golf, Mr. Busby'ſ You ’re some driver, eh?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Say, Mr. Romilly, ” he exclaimed, leaning a little forward, “ do you happen to have seen the wireless messages to- day?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Say, where did you come from? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Say, where is Sylvanus Power these days? ” Mr. Fink enquired.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Say, you mean that straight? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Say, ” the young man enquired, “ did n’t I meet you on the Elletania?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Shall I change my abode? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Shall I have the privilege of your personal surveillance? ” “ I think not, Mr. Ware.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Shall I open the wine? ” Philip nodded and showed Elizabeth over the little flat, finally ushering her into the small, round dining room.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Shall I read it? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Shall you be changing to- night, sir? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ She is always like that. ” “ And yet you took an interest in her! ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Should you be horrified if I told that I had? ” “ I do n’t know, ” she answered.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Sickening job, ai n’t it, writing for the stage un- less you ’ve got some sort of pull? ” “ This is my first effort, ” he explained.
nyp.33433074961289	“ So I ’ve found you, have I, Douglas? ” she cried, and there was a note of bitter triumph in her words, “ found you after all these months!
nyp.33433074961289	“ So that ’s the way you give yourself away, is it?
nyp.33433074961289	“ So you do take her out, do you? ” she asked coldly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ So you do typing, eh?
nyp.33433074961289	“ So you were there last night? ” she murmured, leaning back amongst the cushions with an air of relief.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Something to do with boots and shoes, is n’t it? ” His questioner stared at him for a moment and then laughed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Sure you wo n’t join us, Lawton? ” “ Dare n’t|* was the laconic answer from the man whom he had addressed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me at once why? ” “ Dane is back — I saw him on the pavement this morning! ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me how you found me out? ” he asked, after a brief pause.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me what theatre that is across the way? ” She answered his question and volunteered other pieces of information.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me, are they literary? ” “ I would like to call them so, ” he admitted.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me, are you in the habit of becoming suddenly dependent upon people? ” “ Not I, ” he assured her.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me, ” he exclaimed, “ why were all my first impressions of you wrong?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me, ” he insisted, “ last night?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Tell me?
nyp.33433074961289	“ That Mr. Romilly? ” was the reply, in a man ’s pleasant voice.
nyp.33433074961289	“ That does n’t really matter, does it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ That so? ” he remarked indifferently.
nyp.33433074961289	“ That so? ” his neighbour remarked, a trifle sur- prised.
nyp.33433074961289	“ They are waiting supper for us, but I was n’t going to let Philip — ” “ Did you know that Dane was going to be here? ” Elizabeth asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ This is like one of our fairy stories of the old days, is n’t it? ” she said.
nyp.33433074961289	“ To tell you the truth, I want to be near the telephone. ” “ In case she rings you up, eh? ” “ That ’s so.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Waiting for one of our gals, eh? ” Philip stifled his quick annoyance and answered in as matter- of- fact a tone as possible.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Was it Jim? ” the station master asked him, on their way out.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Was that Jim Spender going up to see his bar- maid again? ” he asked his superior.
nyp.33433074961289	“ We have n’t met before, have we, Mr. Romilly?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Well, what does he suspect? ” “ The truth!
nyp.33433074961289	“ Well?
nyp.33433074961289	“ What about luncheon?
nyp.33433074961289	“ What about threats?
nyp.33433074961289	“ What business is it of his? ” “ There was a reward offered.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What did you do? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What do I care who your are? ” she said.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What do you think, Miss Dalstan? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What do you want with me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What do you want? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What does it mean, Beatrice? ” She showed signs of recovering herself.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What does it mean? ” he asked once more.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What happened afterwards? ” “ You just tell them all about it, ” Beatrice ordered him sternly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What is it?
nyp.33433074961289	“ What of, I wonder? ” There was a suspicious glitter in her eyes, a queer little tremble in her tone.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What the mischief is a last? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What time does the boat sail? ” “ Three o’clock, sir. ” Philip frowned.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What time is it? ” “ Half- past nine, sir. ” “ Bring me some coffee and rolls and butter, ” Philip ordered.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What ’s that?
nyp.33433074961289	“ What's gone wrong? ” he asked briskly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ What, all this? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ When did you write this? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Where does your money come from? ” “ The play, ” he told her.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Where have you been? ” “ Some luck, ” she replied.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Where's your father to- day? ” “ Usual place, ” she answered, “ in bed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Why do n’t you come and join us, too?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Why do n’t you speak and get it over?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Why not, Mr. Romilly?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Why, ” he exclaimed, “ are you going to be like the others and take me for — was n’t it Mr. Romilly?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Wo n't you go round yourself, Mr. Ware? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Wonder what he wants down here?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Would you like to go to a theatre? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Yes?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Yes?
nyp.33433074961289	“ Yes? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You Mr. Merton Ware? ” He admitted the fact briefly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You are Mr. Romilly, are n’t you? ” one of them asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You are speaking of yourself? ” 66 Yes!
nyp.33433074961289	“ You are very chiv- alrous, are n’t you?
nyp.33433074961289	“ You can remember my name, then?
nyp.33433074961289	“ You deny, then, that you are Mr. Philip Ro- milly? ” the detective asked.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You do n’t know me, then, Mr. Ware? ” “ Never saw you before, to the best of my knowl- edge, ” Philip replied nonchalantly.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You get out first, do n’t you?
nyp.33433074961289	“ You have nothing to tell me? ” “ Nothing! ” She waited for a moment.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You must remember — why, what ’s the matter with you, Felix? ” She broke off in her speech.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You refuse me? ” His eyes glowed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You use all our ma- chinery, do n’t you?
nyp.33433074961289	“ You were there with a typewriter? ” she ex- claimed.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You were very angry, I suppose? ” she mur- mured.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You would n’t — ” “ My dear fellow, ” Douglas interrupted, grasping it, “ would n't I?
nyp.33433074961289	“ You ’ll have to do the ordering — that was our bargain, you know. ” “ You must tell me how much you want to spend, then? ” she insisted.
nyp.33433074961289	“ You ’re not going?
nyp.33433074961289	“ You ’re not much of a pal, are you? ” She scoffed at him, looked him up and down, at his well- fitting clothes, his general air of prosperity.
nyp.33433074961289	“ Your father ’s the Busby Iron Works, is n’t he? ” The young man nodded.
nyp.33433074961289	“ ‘ Kid, ” she said, ‘ I ’m through with it. ” “ ‘ What do you mean?'
nyp.33433074961289	“ ‘ This is the new theatre that every one is talking about, is n’t it? ” I asked him eagerly.
nyp.33433076053846	( You have n't got a spite against my right shoulder, have you?).
nyp.33433076053846	- “ Ca n't I? ” she said grimly.
nyp.33433076053846	- “ Is your — friend married? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433076053846	- “ What has she been up to? ” he asked, as the door closed.
nyp.33433076053846	252 LETITIA CARBERRY “ Did n't you ever quarrel with your husband before you were married? ” she demanded, looking at me sideways.
nyp.33433076053846	257 THE AMAZING ADVENTURES “ What did I tell you? ” she demanded when she got down.
nyp.33433076053846	Again — why? ” Tish stopped and looked at the Chief of Police, who sat stroking his chin.
nyp.33433076053846	Aggie, what day was it the two medical internes left? ” “ This is Friday, ” I said.
nyp.33433076053846	Ai n't there any other bridges in Chester county? ” “ Not like that, ” retorted Tish, eying the ruins.
nyp.33433076053846	And confess? ” said Tish.
nyp.33433076053846	And that took forty minutes? ” “ No, ” said Miss Durand.
nyp.33433076053846	And where are the rabbits? ” Aggie sat down and began to blubber, but Miss Lewis scolded her soundly.
nyp.33433076053846	Any animals? ” “ No, ” said Tish calmly.
nyp.33433076053846	Anyhow, why would she take a candle, when there is electric light everywhere?
nyp.33433076053846	As Tommy said, the question then became simply, did he do it him- self or was it done for him?
nyp.33433076053846	As far as I'm concerned in that case, she can go under suspicion the rest of her life. ” “ Suspicion of what? ” Aggie demanded tartly.
nyp.33433076053846	Beloved? ” he said, and held out his arms again.
nyp.33433076053846	But as Tish said, what did she mean by saying she was always thinking of herself?
nyp.33433076053846	Could it be, we wondered, that Miss Lewis knew the meaning of the three let- ters?
nyp.33433076053846	Death was almost instantaneous. ” “ And the brown coat? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076053846	Did Briggs have any enemies in K Ward? ” I52 OF LETITIA CARBERRY “ He was n't popular.
nyp.33433076053846	Did n't I beg you on my bended knees not to buy that automobile?
nyp.33433076053846	Do n't tell me it was n't. ” “ Where's that Lewis woman? ” was all Tish would say.
nyp.33433076053846	Do you know what S. P. T. stands for? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076053846	Do you really think that? ” “ I do, ” I said firmly.
nyp.33433076053846	Do you remember?
nyp.33433076053846	Do you under- stand?
nyp.33433076053846	Does he want the whole road? ” she snapped.
nyp.33433076053846	Fudge? ” One of the girls detached herself from the group and started for her.
nyp.33433076053846	How's the knee?
nyp.33433076053846	I do n't know much about gorillas, but I guess they're mostly hairy, are n't they? ” “ Mostly, ” said Tish grimly.
nyp.33433076053846	I hope I did n't startle you? ” “ Not at all, ” I said, as coolly as I could.
nyp.33433076053846	I said “ Miss Blake. ’ ” “ Yes? ” “ Well, ” he confessed, “ that's about all I re- member.
nyp.33433076053846	I thought I had killed you! ” “ Where did you sit? ” asked Tommy gently.
nyp.33433076053846	I was decent enough to him, if Briggs was n't. ” “ Do you mean that — that Briggs was cruel to him? ” I asked Tommy.
nyp.33433076053846	I – I shall report you! ” “ Who to? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433076053846	I6 OF LETITIA CARBERRY “ ‘ What is it? ’ said I, limping forward.
nyp.33433076053846	I73 THE AMAZING ADVENTURES “ Are n't you responsible for that closet?
nyp.33433076053846	Is the top of the elevator flat? ” she added.
nyp.33433076053846	It was marked twelve- ten on the record. ” “ And you were called at once? ” “ I — think not, ” Miss Smith said slowly.
nyp.33433076053846	It would be horrible, would n't it? ” He stepped into the room and looked about him.
nyp.33433076053846	It's my well, ai n't it? ” “ I ’ll send the money to you by mail. ” I had lost all my pride.
nyp.33433076053846	It's poison, is n't it? ”* Tommy laughed.
nyp.33433076053846	It- it's horrible. ” “ Are the nurses still there? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076053846	Jenkins? ” asked Tish.
nyp.33433076053846	Just the tune. ” “ Did anybody else hear it? ” “ They heard something in the mortuary.
nyp.33433076053846	Miss Lewis, will you let Miss Pilking- ton sniff that alcohol for a moment? ” “ Fiddle! ” Aggie protested feebly.
nyp.33433076053846	Now, then, why did the Blake girl go to the roof? ” “ Maybe she wanted air, ” I suggested.
nyp.33433076053846	Or did you have any definite objective point? ” This scathingly.
nyp.33433076053846	She has not come from the dormitory? ” “ No. ” He looked relieved at that and went out, and for an hour we saw nothing of him.
nyp.33433076053846	She ought to be in a garage blowing up auto tires. ” “ And — everything was quiet last night? ” “ Not a sound — except the aforesaid yell.
nyp.33433076053846	She's very well liked. ” “ And after you went for the sheets? ” “ That's all I know, Miss Carberry.
nyp.33433076053846	Some strong purpose sent the girl, of course — but what?
nyp.33433076053846	Somehow it came over me then how young the girl was, and what kind of moral sense could one expect of a girl with that red- headed scamp for a father?
nyp.33433076053846	That every servant and nurse was in his proper place?
nyp.33433076053846	That's proof, is n't it, that she was sleep- walk- ing?
nyp.33433076053846	The ward was in charge of a convalescent typhoid named Bates. ” 93 THE AMAZING ADVENTURES “ Why was that? ” Tommy demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	There? ” she said, in a low voice.
nyp.33433076053846	They scratch a good bit — some think it's fleas; some say it's germs. ” “ Germs? ” Aggie asked, puzzled.
nyp.33433076053846	They — laid him on the table in the mortuary, did n't they? ” “ Yes, ” said Miss Smith, half smiling.
nyp.33433076053846	Tickling the ribs of the boat?
nyp.33433076053846	Two internes and I made the count ourselves, not a soul was missing. ” “ He was — strangled? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076053846	Very well, said 186 OF LETITIA CARBERRY I, where is his keeper?
nyp.33433076053846	We know Johnson did n't do it himself, do n’t we? ”.
nyp.33433076053846	We'll be in nice shape if G ward gets busy. ” “ What's G ward? ” Tish asked, edging over to Miss Lewis.
nyp.33433076053846	Well — “ Would you like some buttermilk? ” asked Miss Lewis again, beginning to draw on her kimono.
nyp.33433076053846	Well, what happened? ” “ I have n't any idea.
nyp.33433076053846	Well, what is it? ” “ Miss Blake is better, Doctor, ” she said.
nyp.33433076053846	What are you doing?
nyp.33433076053846	What are you looking at?'
nyp.33433076053846	What do you make of it? ” I was speechless.
nyp.33433076053846	What really happened on the roof last night? ” “ I wish I knew ſ ” said Tommy, and looked at us gravely.
nyp.33433076053846	When they came back Miss Smith was looking more cheerful, and she had a bundle in her hand. ” “ What sort of a bundle? ” “ Darkish.
nyp.33433076053846	Where is Doctor Andrews? ” “ On the roof, Miss Blake. ” “ Oh, no, not on the roof! ” she cried.
nyp.33433076053846	Where is this man he was so fond of that he could n't live with- out him?
nyp.33433076053846	Where were you? ” I22 — º.ae …--~~** OF LETITIA CARBERRY “ I was safe, ” she said.
nyp.33433076053846	Where's Tommy? ” “ He has n't come back.
nyp.33433076053846	Why should not Mr. Johnson, before deserting the earth plane for the spirit world, have come back and proved his continued ex- istence?
nyp.33433076053846	Why was that? ” “ Because, ” Briggs replied significantly, “ there was no nurse in that ward when he died, or for nearly an hour after.
nyp.33433076053846	Why? ” The Chief of Police looked wise; he had a way of wriggling his nose like a rabbit.
nyp.33433076053846	Why? ” Tommy lighted a cigarette and puffed at it.
nyp.33433076053846	“ After all, was it so terrible?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Again, why?
nyp.33433076053846	“ And do n't worry; you're sure to heat up on a day like this, but nothing will melt. ” “ Or explode? ” asked Aggie.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Are you both there? ” said Tish, without turning her head.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Are you out for a pleasure trip?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Are you sure you said the first house on the left? ” Tish called to me.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Blake! ” he said, glancing up quickly, “ not the little nurse with the dark hair? ” “ Yes, ” Tish said.
nyp.33433076053846	“ By exactly what mental process did you connect the two? ” he asked, wriggling his 110Se.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Ca n't you see yourself, little girl, that you are about at the end of your string?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Ca n't you speak to him here? ” “ I can not, ” said Miss Lewis, glaring back at Tish, her thumbs inside her apron belt.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Can I do anything for you? ” “ It was boiling, ” said Tish.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Can you beat that? ” she de- manded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Can you move your legs, Doctor? ” 69 THE AMAZING ADVENTURES Tommy lifted them in turn, making gri- maces of pain.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Did you hear that, Lillian? ” he called.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Did you notice how pretty her hair was in the sunlight? ” whispered Aggie.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Did you ring? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do n’t you remember — your — our room at the Sherman House? ” “ Certainly not, ” Tish said haughtily.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you feel anything? ” “ Nothing but the slat across the back of this chair, ” I replied, and we sat silent again.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you often have words with the order- lies, Miss Smith? ’ ” Miss Smith smiled cheerfully.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you realize, ” Tish went on, “ that that room is directly over the one Aggie is occupy- ing? ” “ Had n't thought of it, ” said Tommy.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you remember what Aggie said, about the light when Mr. Wiggins died? ” I ’d been thinking about it myself that very moment.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you think Tommy Andrews can make me do anything I do n't want to?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you think that that girl was sleep- walking? ” “ I certainly do, ” said Tommy.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Do you want me, Miss Carberry? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Doctor Andrews been here this after- noon? ” Miss Lewis asked, looking up from ar- ranging the roses.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Girl, ” she snapped, “ why is this brush chained? ” “ The ladies steal them, ” said the girl.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Going up on the roof again? ” “ I ’ll be down pretty soon, ” he evaded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Has n't my advice always been good?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Have you no shame? ” “ Oh, as to that, ” he said aggrieved, “ I — I have something on, you know.
nyp.33433076053846	“ How could he step on the skylight?
nyp.33433076053846	“ How did it get there? ” “ God knows, ” said Tommy, and rapped at Miss Blake's door.
nyp.33433076053846	“ How in the world did it happen? ”- “ I was walking on the roof, ” said Tommy more agreeably, “ and I stepped on the skylight by mistake.
nyp.33433076053846	“ How is she? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ How long does she usually take for sup- per? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ How would you have gone about the case, Mr. Chief of Police? ” Tish demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ I ai n't askin'you to drink it, am I?
nyp.33433076053846	“ I beg your pardon, ” he apologized, “ but will you give me the key to the other room? ” We did.
nyp.33433076053846	“ I came also, ” he said, “ to ask you not to stay here alone to- night. ” “ What do you mean? ” she asked sharply.
nyp.33433076053846	“ I see, ” he said; “ The Mur- ders in the Rue Morgue, eh?
nyp.33433076053846	“ I ’d like to speak to you a moment in the hall, Doctor. ” “ What sort of shilly- shallying is that? ” de- manded Tish.
nyp.33433076053846	“ I ’ve thought of that, but how do you account for the fact that not a patient left his ward or private room last night?
nyp.33433076053846	“ If we come back for you some nice afternoon, will you let us take you for a ride? ” But she got no answer.
nyp.33433076053846	“ If, when I come back, you would care to go over to the dormitory — ” “ I suppose she has n't asked for me? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076053846	“ In trouble? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Is it? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Is n't it the constant endeavor of the people who have — passed over, to come back and prove their con- tinued existence on a spirit plane?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Is n't that a buggy com- ing? ” “ It's too far off to see.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Is n't the creature dead?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Is n't this where we brought Miss Anne? ” It was, for Anne opened the door just then and peered down at the car.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Is that you, father? ” she called.
nyp.33433076053846	“ It could n't have taken so long! ” “ What could n't have taken so long? ” Tish demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ It does n't matter, does it? ” “ Very much — to me. ” “ I was — here, ” she said, after a hesitation.
nyp.33433076053846	“ It was nearly one o'clock. ” “ Is that customary? ” Tish demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ It'll explode, wo n't it? ” she quavered.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Listen, ” she said while Aggie got her spray, “ does n't this bear out what I've been saying right along?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Little devil, this is the third time this week! ” “ Is he — is he poisonous? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Nothing will happen. ” “ Then why do n't you take off your clothes and go to bed? ” Aggie asked, but Tish scorn- fully refused to answer.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Oh, why have n't women the vote?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Queer, is n't it? ” asked Miss Lewis.
nyp.33433076053846	“ She- hasn't changed her mind about seeing me? ” “ No, nor about locking the door.
nyp.33433076053846	“ She- we found something this afternoon and I do n't mind saying we are puzzled. ” “ More mystery? ” he asked, raising his eye- brows.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Take your choice. ” There, gleaming in the sunlight, were Tish ’s buttonhole scissors and Aggie's upper teeth?
nyp.33433076053846	“ The second shock, after the first, you know. ” “ Not seriously, Tommy? ” I asked, putting my hand on his arm.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Then it must be an animal — l ” “ Who knows? ” Tommy said quietly.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Then, if it's true, it is still —? ” 6--j-.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Tish, where's the gaso- line tank? ” But Tish was n't listening.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Unless what? ” said Tish, but he did n't an- swer.
nyp.33433076053846	“ We covered the body with a sheet, did n't We? ” “ Yes, ” Miss Smith stopped smiling.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well — what? ” “ Have they lost anything?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well — what? ” “ Have they lost anything?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well! ” she said, “ what is it?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well, good luck to her. ” “ How is Miss Blake? ” He lowered his voice.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well, what do you make of that, Lizzie? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Well? ” she said, putting something down.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Were n't you fighting him all day to do it? ” “ You could n't understand, ” she said, look- ing at me with the eyes of a baby.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Wha — what have you done? ” “ Sent for Jacobs, the night watchman, ” one of the nurses explained.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What did Briggs think he saw? ” I asked nervously, holding to Tommy's arm.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What did I tell you? ” And pulled the thermometer out minus an end.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What do you mean by addressing us? ” Tish demanded, trying to pull the collar of her duster over the tie.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What do you mean by saying I'd better tell you than tell the police? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What in the name of sense are you bleating about? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What is that? ” “ Mortuary linen closet, ” said Tommy.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What is there to boil? ” Aggie whispered to me.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What kind of a jack — a bootjack or a jackass?
nyp.33433076053846	“ What shall I do? ” she asked Tish, ignor- ing him.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What time do you go to your lunch? ” she asked her sharply, when she came.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What use is one shoe?—unless I lose a leg, and that's as like as not before this night's over. ” “ Do you see where we are? ” Aggie asked.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What'll I do, Miss Tish? ” he asked, begin- ning to jerk again, but with an eye on the wrench.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What's gone? ” Tish demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ What's that light? ” she quavered.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Where are you going — to Noblestown? ” “ To the lake, ” I replied.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Where is the er — body now? ” “ It went to the anatomical board this morn- ing.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Where's the rest? ” Tommy demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Where? ” “ In the laboratory, ” said I, and led her out of the room.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Which way to the Noblestown Pike? ” I yelled, while Tish got out and stuck a wet finger on the hood over the engine.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Who was it said I ought to buy the dratted thing?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Who's there? ” asked a startled voice, quite 53 THE AMAZING ADVENTURES close, as if it's owner had been standing just inside.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why did n't she go alone? ” “ I — I hardly know.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why do n't you stick by the plum tree here at home? ” On that the door closed, and we could hear them talking guardedly in the hall.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why do you ques- tion me so? ” “ Because, ” he said gently, “ I was in the laboratory at two o'clock this morning.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why do you say that? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why does n't that man turn out?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why not? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why not? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why should you lock that door in the middle of the afternoon?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Why? ” 33 OF LETITIA CARBERRY Miss Lewis slammed out.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Will you be amiable a little longer, and tell us what happened in the mortuary? ” “ Well, really, nothing happened to me.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Will you open that shawl out and cover 307 THE AMAZING ADVENTURES yourself? ” she asked furiously.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Will you see if Miss Durand is off duty yet?
nyp.33433076053846	“ Wo n't you ask her in? ” She had a low, sweet voice.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Would you mind making it fourteen, Doctor? ” Tommy looked surprised.
nyp.33433076053846	“ You do n't call that a bridge, do you? ” “ It was, ” said the woman.
nyp.33433076053846	“ You have n't seen — Miss Blake?
nyp.33433076053846	“ You have no idea why she left? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076053846	“ You ’re sure you did n't doze off? ” one of the girls asked, pressing forward.
nyp.33433076053846	“ Your hand. ” “ Confound you, Mansfield, ca n't you see she hates you? ” This was Carleton, of course.
nyp.33433076053846	“ ‘ Well, were you right?'
nyp.33433075873244	- “ Gug- gug — how the devil c- can I stand up if you wo n’t lul- lul- let me? ” protested Mr. Goodfellow, reasonably enough.
nyp.33433075873244	- “ Nothing happened to upset you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075873244	- “ Well, well, ma'am; it is hard upon Mr. — Rogers, did you tell me?

nyp.33433075873244	Again, if his visit had been an in- nocent one, why, last evening, had he said nothing of it?
nyp.33433075873244	All right; only you do n’t look it, ex- actly. ” “ But is not that half the battle? ” urged the in- domitable Plinny.
nyp.33433075873244	An'you tell me he piped but a line of it? ” His eyes searched mine anxiously.
nyp.33433075873244	And Plinny, I suppose?
nyp.33433075873244	And fronting the road a little this side of St. Germans?
nyp.33433075873244	And how did it hap- pen?
nyp.33433075873244	And if that object were an in- nocent one, why had he not told me of his intention to visit Minden Cottage?
nyp.33433075873244	And why did n't he go? ” “ He was not at home, ma'am.
nyp.33433075873244	And why?
nyp.33433075873244	And will you tell me that here is accident only, and not the finger of Providence itself?
nyp.33433075873244	And you call yourself a justice of the peace? ” “ It was thrust upon me, ” said Mr. Rogers mod- estly.
nyp.33433075873244	And you knew him there? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Then what was he doing in these parts? ” “ He started to call on my father, sir. ” “ Eh?
nyp.33433075873244	And you knew him there? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Then what was he doing in these parts? ” “ He started to call on my father, sir. ” “ Eh?

nyp.33433075873244	And you opened it, and read the writing? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433075873244	And, if so I heard Miss Plinlimmon asking: “ Would you care to see him — that is, dear, if you feel strong enough?
nyp.33433075873244	And, if so, had their visit any connection with this crime?
nyp.33433075873244	Are you guilty?
nyp.33433075873244	Are you ladies prepared to exercise strong self- control?
nyp.33433075873244	Barry, where's the key? ” I produced it.
nyp.33433075873244	Branscome, of the ‘ London- derry ’? ” said my father.
nyp.33433075873244	Busy with visitors, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	But really, when you think it over, what else could we have done?
nyp.33433075873244	But what is the meaning of these baskets?
nyp.33433075873244	But what mattered the sense of it?
nyp.33433075873244	But what was I to think?
nyp.33433075873244	But who is it? ” “ An old man in seaman's clothes.
nyp.33433075873244	But why( say you) did I take Mr. Rogers?
nyp.33433075873244	But why?
nyp.33433075873244	But you saw him — hey?
nyp.33433075873244	But you wo n’t blow the gaff on the old girl, will you? ” “ Are you all there is, you three? ” I asked, after considering them a moment.

nyp.33433075873244	By the way, ” he asked, “ you ai n’t thinkin ’ to learn the violin, by any chance? ” “ No, sir. ” “ No, ” he said reflectively.
nyp.33433075873244	By whom then?
nyp.33433075873244	Captain Brans- come, the simple- minded, the heroic?
nyp.33433075873244	Captain Branscome, of the threadbare coat and the sword of honor?
nyp.33433075873244	Caught you on the ankle, did it?
nyp.33433075873244	Coffin, is it?
nyp.33433075873244	Could I keep hold on my nerve to thread my way back and over those five sepa- rate and accursed waterfalls?
nyp.33433075873244	Could they have reached Minden Cottage?
nyp.33433075873244	D'ye want him? ” “ No; you ’ll take him along quicker.
nyp.33433075873244	Danny Coffin?
nyp.33433075873244	Danny Coffin? ” he repeated, in a voice that, as it lost its wondering quaver, grew tense and wicked and wheedling.
nyp.33433075873244	Did he send you with that message to Captain Branscome? ” “ Yes, ma'am. ” “ Then why did n't you tell us so?
nyp.33433075873244	Did he send you with that message to Captain Branscome? ” “ Yes, ma'am. ” “ Then why did n't you tell us so?
nyp.33433075873244	Eh, Harry Brooks?
nyp.33433075873244	Eh?
nyp.33433075873244	Eh?
nyp.33433075873244	Ever been to Plymouth? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Live there? ” “ No, sir. ” He seemed to be disappointed.

nyp.33433075873244	Five trees, a mile and a half from the creek- head?
nyp.33433075873244	For what is chiefly wanted for such an adventure?
nyp.33433075873244	For what will his power give him when he has won it?
nyp.33433075873244	For who's to suspect such a company as this present, or any part of it, of being after treasure?
nyp.33433075873244	Gone on a visit, has he?
nyp.33433075873244	Had Miss Plinlimmon ever visited the Apennines?
nyp.33433075873244	Had Mrs. Stimcoe any difficulty in finding this money? ” “ Well, sir, ” said I, “ I ought n't perhaps to know it, but she pawned Stim — Mr.
nyp.33433075873244	Had he ar- rived?
nyp.33433075873244	He began in a sudden flurry to ask a dozen questions concern- ing my father: “ He keeps good health, I trust?
nyp.33433075873244	He can pur- chase power, you say?
nyp.33433075873244	He did not bring you? ” I shook my head again, having no clew to her meaning.
nyp.33433075873244	He seemed to be badly scared, too, for an instant; for I heard a sudden, sharp click in his throat: “ E- e- eh?
nyp.33433075873244	He showed me a coin, too, and said it came from the island. ” “ Hey, lad?
nyp.33433075873244	Here's the river, and What does the chart say, boy?
nyp.33433075873244	Hey?
nyp.33433075873244	How do I know this?
nyp.33433075873244	How would you like to ride in your coach- and- six, Harry Brooks? ” “ I should like it finely, sir, ” said I, humoring him.
nyp.33433075873244	I answered, What could I do?
nyp.33433075873244	I had taken the money of a poor man, and had given him in exchange — what?
nyp.33433075873244	I pretended not to?
nyp.33433075873244	I pricked woman? ’ I asked.
nyp.33433075873244	I reckoned they ’d be 25 sending<< Hey?
nyp.33433075873244	I repeat, Why?
nyp.33433075873244	I took Mr. Rogers, after consulting with Miss Belcher 22 “ Does she know there are people on the island? ” “ She does.
nyp.33433075873244	If, as the skipper thrust off, I had found presence of mind to jump for her, who knows what mischief might have been prevented?
nyp.33433075873244	Is he — is he dead? ” Mrs. Stimcoe lifted her hand and lowered it again, at the same moment bowing her head with a meaning I could not mistake.
nyp.33433075873244	Is that Metta? ” It was the voice of Dr. Beauregard.
nyp.33433075873244	Is that all? ” “ My dear Lydia, consider the amount of time I ’ve had!
nyp.33433075873244	It certainly strikes me that I knew the man, and I followed him down the lane here to make sure. ” “ ‘ Why? ’ the Major asked me.
nyp.33433075873244	It had n't a couple of pillars engraved on it, for in- stance? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433075873244	It is good to find oneself ashore, you understand?
nyp.33433075873244	It might bring mischief. ” “ Mischief? ” I echoed.
nyp.33433075873244	It was by this that you came to me? ” she asked, turning to me again, and pointing minc- ingly at the paper.
nyp.33433075873244	Know him?
nyp.33433075873244	Lived in Falmouth, you say?
nyp.33433075873244	Martha is my young woman. ” “ Yes, sir? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075873244	Minden Cottage, you say?
nyp.33433075873244	Mr. Goodfellow, will you accompany Miss Plinlimmon and the boy?
nyp.33433075873244	Mr. Stimcoe was unwell. ” “ IDrunk? ” “ My dear Miss Belcher! ” put in the scandalized Plinny.
nyp.33433075873244	Mum's the word, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	Never- theless 22 “ I must n't count on it, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	Next comes the question: Why did I go ashore and take Mr. Rogers?
nyp.33433075873244	Nice bird, hey? ” He slipped a hand through the cage- door, and caressed him, scratching his head.
nyp.33433075873244	Nice fittin's, ben’t they?
nyp.33433075873244	No?
nyp.33433075873244	Nothing wrong with you at all? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075873244	Now, I ’m a traveller; and where do you suppose I spent this day month? ” I could not give a guess.
nyp.33433075873244	Old Coffin, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	Or possibly you distrusted the entertain- ment of a solitary bachelor on a desert island?
nyp.33433075873244	Or what more likely than that, after what has happened, the doctor has advised a sea voyage, to soothe your mind?
nyp.33433075873244	Peace has been declared with France; and what more natural than that a party of English should be travelling to see the West Indies?
nyp.33433075873244	Rogers for one — that Miss Belcher ought to have been born a man. ” “ Miss Belcher?
nyp.33433075873244	See?
nyp.33433075873244	So Captain Branscome was off on an out- ing?
nyp.33433075873244	So you're Major Brooks's son?
nyp.33433075873244	The garden at Minden Cottage?
nyp.33433075873244	They put the loonatics into them colored weskits, do n’t they? ” “ Nothing of the sort.
nyp.33433075873244	They relieve our fear Of a privateer, But what shall we do if she founders?
nyp.33433075873244	This man — have you any notion who he can be'''“ None, sir. ” “ You ’ve thought over every possible person of your acquaintance?
nyp.33433075873244	To begin with, we ’ve found another bod 35 “ IEh?
nyp.33433075873244	To what might not a man be driven by poverty in this degree?
nyp.33433075873244	Two men can lift and carry it easily. ” “ How do you happen to know this? ” asked Miss Belcher, eying him from under contracted brows.
nyp.33433075873244	Understand?
nyp.33433075873244	Understand?
nyp.33433075873244	Was she a ghost?
nyp.33433075873244	Was — was it sudden?
nyp.33433075873244	Well field — Eh?
nyp.33433075873244	Well, when you took the message, what did Captain Branscome say?
nyp.33433075873244	Were we pulling up to change teams?
nyp.33433075873244	What became of the man who did it? ” he asked, with a glance over his shoulder towards the summer- house.
nyp.33433075873244	What d'ye say his name was? ” “ Coffin, sir. ” “ H’m, he's earned it.
nyp.33433075873244	What d'you make of it? ” At a glance I saw that nothing could be made of it.
nyp.33433075873244	What in the end can he purchase with it better than the fun he is get- ting out of this expedition?
nyp.33433075873244	What is it?
nyp.33433075873244	What on earth was he doing there? ” “ Nothing, ma’am — at least, I do n’t know.
nyp.33433075873244	What was her advice but( as Miss Belcher at once called it) the purest common sense?
nyp.33433075873244	What would you say to that? ” I brushed my dominoes aside, and read: “ The Reverend Philip Stimcoe, B.A.
nyp.33433075873244	What's the matter? ” I heard Miss Belch- er's voice demand, as he burst in through the door- way.
nyp.33433075873244	What's your name, good boy? ” 24 A STREET FIGHT “ Harry Brooks, sir. ” “ Call me “ sir, ’ do you?
nyp.33433075873244	What's your name, good boy? ” 24 A STREET FIGHT “ Harry Brooks, sir. ” “ Call me “ sir, ’ do you?
nyp.33433075873244	What?
nyp.33433075873244	When did he return? ” “ I did n’t see him that evening, ma'am. ” “ That's not an answer to my question.
nyp.33433075873244	Where is Hay- ling?
nyp.33433075873244	Where was I?
nyp.33433075873244	Where's the dinghy? ” It was gone; and — what was worse — our repeated hails fetched no answering hail from the ship.
nyp.33433075873244	Who are ‘ we?
nyp.33433075873244	Who knows? ” Captain Branscome yielded, after a look at Plinny, who backed up Miss Belcher, declaring herself ar- dent for new adventures.
nyp.33433075873244	Who put you all on the scent?
nyp.33433075873244	Who says as I poisoned them?
nyp.33433075873244	Who's there? ” demanded a gruff voice.
nyp.33433075873244	Why on earth should he be troubling himself about my state of health?
nyp.33433075873244	Why, in that ample time, had he not arrived, and what had become of him?
nyp.33433075873244	Why, look you, whose is the treasure, properly speaking?
nyp.33433075873244	Why, man alive, from the time we left the ship I never set eyes on you( how should I?
nyp.33433075873244	Why, when I questioned him about his holi- day, had he answered me so confusedly?
nyp.33433075873244	Why?
nyp.33433075873244	Will you be so kind? ” I said that I would do so with pleasure.
nyp.33433075873244	Will you oblige me by stepping into the summer- house, here, and taking a seat while I go to the house?
nyp.33433075873244	With what object?
nyp.33433075873244	Yes or no? ” The man ’s mouth worked, but his tongue crackled in his mouth like a parched leaf, and no words came.
nyp.33433075873244	You did n't catch sight of my father?
nyp.33433075873244	You have brought your own pro- visions?
nyp.33433075873244	You have read your ‘ Tempest, ” Cap- tain Branscome?
nyp.33433075873244	You hear what he says? ” “ Lydia, Lydia!
nyp.33433075873244	You heard what he said, an ’ that cussed song, too?
nyp.33433075873244	You knew of his coming? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433075873244	You know it?
nyp.33433075873244	You know — do you not?
nyp.33433075873244	You may call him Red- head, being too big to punch; and, talking of that, you ’ll have to fight Bully Stokes. ” “ Is he a day- boy? ” I asked.
nyp.33433075873244	You may have observed, ladies, that I limp in my walk?
nyp.33433075873244	You recognize him, hey?
nyp.33433075873244	You remember me?
nyp.33433075873244	You sent word on to Plymouth at once? ” “ By express rider, and with orders to leave a de- scription of the man at all the ferries.
nyp.33433075873244	You want to know, then, why I'm careful about let- ting you run ashore?
nyp.33433075873244	You ’re sure now that you ca n’t remember?
nyp.33433075873244	Your father 25 “ What about my father? ” I asked, taking the let- ter and staring into her face.
nyp.33433075873244	Your name, please? ” he de- manded sharply.
nyp.33433075873244	is that you, Harry Brooks? ” He peered up at me out of the night.
nyp.33433075873244	poor old drunken Danny Coffin, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	what have you been doing to the child? ” “ Nothing, ma'am.
nyp.33433075873244	‘ How drunk? ’* Drunk enough to near- upon- drown himself, ’ said the ferryman.
nyp.33433075873244	“ A gentleman, did you say? ” “ Yes, and such distinguished manners!
nyp.33433075873244	“ A word in your ear, ma'am — if you will allow me? ” He stepped close to Miss Belcher, and spoke a sen- tence or two which I could not catch.
nyp.33433075873244	“ After burning your boats, madam?
nyp.33433075873244	“ And all for what?
nyp.33433075873244	“ And he lives not far from here? ” I remembered afterwards that his voice shook upon the question.
nyp.33433075873244	“ And where might you come from, makin'so bold? ” I told him that I was a boarder at Mr. Stimcoe's.
nyp.33433075873244	“ And you said nothing of this — this piece of evi- dence?
nyp.33433075873244	“ At which you were present? ” I nodded again.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Between you and me and the gatepost, eh? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Branscome?
nyp.33433075873244	“ But who is this man? ” he demanded, in a sharp, authoritative voice.
nyp.33433075873244	“ But, I say, Lydia, you ’re not serious about this? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Can you climb, sonny, or shall we fetch the steps for you?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Captain Branscome, ” said Miss Belcher sharply, “ will you be so good as to give us your opin- ion? ” Captain Branscome lifted his head.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Coach?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Did I?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Did you actually suppose, having proved me once, that I would suffer such a common cutthroat as you to march off with my treasure?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Did you see him kill them? ” I asked, wondering who “ he ” might be, and scarcely knowing what I said.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Did you see the man ’s face, Harry? ” 310 THE MAN IN BLACK “ No, sir, or I should not have mistaken him for Mr. Rogers.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Disappeared, hey? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ I fancy I could put my hand on him, ” he said very coolly, after a pause.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Do you know him, Harry? ” asked Miss Belcher.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Do you think it wrong of me, boy? ” he asked abruptly.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Do you two know each other? ” “ Why, of course we does! ” said Mr. Goodfellow.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Drunk?'
nyp.33433075873244	“ Eh?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Fiddlestick- end! ” “ I beg your pardon? ” “ Fiddlestick- end!
nyp.33433075873244	“ Got the boy Brooks aboard? ” “ Ay, ay, Mr. Rogers!
nyp.33433075873244	“ Has anything hap- pened?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Have n’t you heard, man? ” “ Not a syllable!
nyp.33433075873244	“ Him a constable?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Him? ” I echoed.
nyp.33433075873244	“ How came that in your head, eh? ” He threw me a furtive sidelong look, and halted before me, mopping his forehead.
nyp.33433075873244	“ I beg your pardon, ma'am? ” said Mr. Jack Rogers.
nyp.33433075873244	“ I saw you?
nyp.33433075873244	“ I should n’t wonder. ” “ But you told me he was dead! ” “ Did I?
nyp.33433075873244	“ I ’m old Danny Coffin, ai n't I?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Impossible! ” he said faintly, as if to himself; then aloud: “ The man was a friend of yours, too, was n’t he? ” “ Yes, sir!
nyp.33433075873244	“ Indeed, sir? ” I stammered.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Is it worse to speak disrespect or to act it?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Is that the man you ’ve ar- rested? ” Mr. Rogers nodded.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Is — is that Harry Brooks? ” asked Captain Branscome, stepping back and feeling for his gold- rimmed glasses.
nyp.33433075873244	“ It is curious, all the same. ” “ What is curious? ” demanded Miss Belcher.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Know about it? ” said old Klootz.
nyp.33433075873244	“ La- la- la- you did not understand, hey?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Let us make it a pleasure trip, ’ said you, or words to that effect; and what follows but that the whole journey is made cheap and simple?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Malaria? ” said Mr. Rogers quietly.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Murder will out, ’ they say; but with smaller crimes it may be different. ” “ Murder? ” He sprang up and began to pace to and fro.
nyp.33433075873244	“ My good man, you had n’t any hand in this — eh? ” “ No, ma'am; in course I had n’t, ” Mr. Goodfellow answered fervently.
nyp.33433075873244	“ My name mentioned?
nyp.33433075873244	“ My warning?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Navigation?
nyp.33433075873244	“ No more? ” “ Not a word. ” She fumbled quickly through the remaining blank leaves.
nyp.33433075873244	“ No? ” queried Mr. Goodfellow.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Not after the plums, eh? ” “ No, sir; and besides, ” said I, picking up my courage, “ there's no harm if I am.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Oh?
nyp.33433075873244	“ S'pose, now, you was to do this for me?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Shall I run for Dr. Spargo? ” She stood for a moment considering.
nyp.33433075873244	“ So Mr. Goodfellow, too, knew of this?
nyp.33433075873244	“ That I should keep my word?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Then why did he take the man's money, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Thou shalt not say anything to get another fellow into trouble'—that's the first and last commandment — eh, Harry Brooks?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Was this man Stimcoe drunk, eh?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Wasn ’ there nothing in it about Execu- tion Dock; nothing about ripe medlars—“medlars a- rottin'on the tree'?
nyp.33433075873244	“ We?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Well, then, who found the chart?
nyp.33433075873244	“ What shall I do with him?
nyp.33433075873244	“ What the devil noise is that? ” The noise was that of a sudden blow or impact upon timber.
nyp.33433075873244	“ What was the name of his teacher? ” “ A Captain Branscome, ma'am.
nyp.33433075873244	“ What's the use of half a fight? ” he groaned again.
nyp.33433075873244	“ What's wrong with them?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Where was the landlord when he heard this? ” asked Miss Belcher.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Who ’s that you're a- coaxin ’ of, you two?
nyp.33433075873244	“ Who's a- talkin'of any such thing? ” “ I was putting a case, sir — putting it as bad as possible.
nyp.33433075873244	“ Wrong, sir? ” “ He insists upon coming; and he pays me.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You are sure this Captain Coffin showed the chart to no one but yourself? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You are surprised to see me?
nyp.33433075873244	“ You are surprised to see me? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You can answer a plain question, I hope? ” said she.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You do n't believe me? ” he asks.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You heard me say that?
nyp.33433075873244	“ You like my bower? ” she asked gleefully.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You must be brave, Harry. ” “ But what has happened?
nyp.33433075873244	“ You think so? ” “ Sure of it.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You wo n’t guess what I ’m doing? ” he chal- lenged.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You wo n’t? ” he asked, gulping down his own portion; and the liquor must have been potent, for it brought a sudden water to his eyes.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You — you told him so? ” he echoed.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You ’re sure no one tracked ye here? ” he asked, as he closed the door behind us.
nyp.33433075873244	“ You, too? ” “ Knew him intimate.
nyp.33433075873244	“ ‘ Who is it there?
nyp.33433075873244	“ ’Cos why?
nyp.33433074937685	Ah, old boy! ” said he, “ is this the way you keep house for us? nyp.33433074937685 And I does n't like all of them as comes here! ” an- swered the dame: “'specially for Paul's sake; but what can a lone'oman do?

nyp.33433074937685	After a pause of some length, Clifford said, with a little hesitation, “ Is Miss Brandon related to the cele- brated barrister of her name?"

njp.32101067628725	And then I must have some ready cash to pay for felling. ” “ Do you think that the bank will sell?

njp.32101067628725	As the girl removed the bunch and placed it on the table, he said, “ Do you see the petals?

njp.32101067628725	But how have you done it?
njp.32101067628725	But if he were to strike her down with a stake or stone, what could he do with the body?
njp.32101067628725	But then- what night Kate be brought to say if questioned by the coroner?

njp.32101067628725	But you put him off bravely, you did. ” “ What have I done to you? ” asked Kate.
njp.32101067628725	But- I must have security. ”"On my stores? ” “ No; they might sell out.
njp.32101067628725	CONVALESCENCE Zerah tossed her head and said to herself, “ Love?

njp.32101067628725	Ca n't you see, Noah, or are you stupid, that her giving up Mr. Bramber is the best answer to that story?

njp.32101067628725	Considering how you've been treated, I declare that by your conduct you do a lot more good to me than any number of sermons. ” “ How so?
njp.32101067628725	Could he be sure that he would not awake from a momentary daze caused by the blow on his head as he fell on the stone floor?
njp.32101067628725	Could he not have attributed her death to accident on the moor, had the horse trampled on her?

njp.32101067628725	“ But how did he go?"
njp.32101067628725	“ But suppose he be disobedient, rude, disorderly? ”.
njp.32101067628725	“ But where is the money to come from?"
njp.32101067628725	“ But who is he?
njp.32101067628725	“ But why so?
njp.32101067628725	“ But, uncle, why does it come and go? ” Pepperill shrugged his shoulders, and vouchsafed no further answer.
njp.32101067628725	“ By striking it on the box. ” “ How could that light it?
njp.32101067628725	“ Can not?

njp.32101067628725	“ Come; on the evening of the 16th last, were you at supper with your husband and others?"
njp.32101067628725	“ Did your niece take a lantern? ” “ Yes, sir."

njp.32101067628725	“ Do you know what folks say of him?"
njp.32101067628725	“ Do you think Kate will live? ” asked Zerah, who did not share his views.
njp.32101067628725	“ Do you think you can not leave the house for a day but some mischief must come on it?

njp.32101067628725	“ Gone? ” exclaimed Pepperill.
njp.32101067628725	“ Good heavens! ” he almost shouted; “ I've done it all for naught. ” “ Done what?"
njp.32101067628725	“ Hallo, little Toad! ” said he; “ how are you? ” Then, without waiting for an answer, he returned to the mud.

njp.32101067628725	“ He took it as a mark of proper respect?'
njp.32101067628725	“ He'd undertaken to crack the nuts for Rose, sir. ” Then, turning to Flood, “ That's about it, ai n't it, Noah?
njp.32101067628725	“ Heavens! ” said he, looking sullenly at his stores; “ if they would but burn! ” “ Burn — what burn? ” asked Mrs. Pepperill sharply.

njp.32101067628725	“ I heard on the moor that your brother- in- law has near on made a sale of the Brimpts oaks. ” “ He has?"

njp.32101067628725	“ I say, schoolmaister, ” said Pepperill, reining in his grey cob, “ be you inclined for a drive?

njp.32101067628725	“ I suppose so. ” “ Will it not be grand on the moor, with the moon shining over it, and the Dart flowing like silver below? ”.
njp.32101067628725	“ I suppose you do n't deny setting fire to Farmer Pooke's rick? ” said Pasco.
njp.32101067628725	“ I will go and see Mrs. Pepperill. ” “ May I come with you, sir?
njp.32101067628725	“ I wo n't speak to you again if you do n't. ” “ Heigh! ” yelled Noah; “ go it, Towser! ” “ Is dat your dogue? ” shouted the bearward.
njp.32101067628725	“ I wonder,"thought Pasco, “ what that house is insured for?
njp.32101067628725	“ I would like to find my father. ” “ Where is he?
njp.32101067628725	“ If everything else fails, ” said she further, “ then I pro- pose you go to old Farmer Pooke and get a loan of him. ” “ Pooke?

njp.32101067628725	“ Is that your hat, John Pooke?"
njp.32101067628725	“ Is there much furze here, Kitty? ” he asked in a smothered voice.
njp.32101067628725	“ Is this your house, that you dare come in and use it as your home? ” Quarm looked at his brother- in- law in surprise.
njp.32101067628725	“ It was scandalous conduct, was it not, Tan? ” asked Rose.
njp.32101067628725	“ It was silly; was it not? ” “ And that was your real, true reason for saying'No'p ” Kitty looked down.

njp.32101067628725	“ Now we are by ourselves, what is it?
njp.32101067628725	“ Now, whither? ” he asked.
njp.32101067628725	“ Oh yes. ” “ Or, for half an hour?"
njp.32101067628725	“ Oh, father, will you mow down the daffodils, and shoot down the gulls, and take everything beautiful out of sea and sky?
njp.32101067628725	“ Oh, indeed? ” Rose flared up.

nyp.33433075765549	I sup- pose you can hire a conveyance of sorts to take us there?
nyp.33433075765549	I suppose Thompson ’s shop is not “ a nice bit ” removed from the village? ”"“ It is opposite the Fox and Hounds Inn.
nyp.33433075765549	I suppose you can lower the ladder yourself? ” “ Of course I can — I drew it up! ” Again, the answer did not fit in with the con- ditions.
nyp.33433075765549	I was sure you would say that, Why not be content with blunt and honest- sounding Bob? ” “ Shall we establish a sort of cousinship?
nyp.33433075765549	I was sure you would say that, Why not be content with blunt and honest- sounding Bob? ” “ Shall we establish a sort of cousinship?
nyp.33433075765549	I ’ll deal with him. ” “ But you wo n’t be too angry with him?
nyp.33433075765549	I ’ll show you just what hap- pened. ” “ Get about again?
nyp.33433075765549	If I am told the truth, I shall know how to act for the best in Miss Garth ’s interests; and that is what you wish, I suppose? ” “ Oh, yes, sir!
nyp.33433075765549	If her father is alive, who was the man who committed suicide? ”.
nyp.33433075765549	If she was not Marguérite Garth, who on earth was she?
nyp.33433075765549	If that was true, who was the man buried in Stephen Garth ’s name and identity in the churchyard at Bellerby?
nyp.33433075765549	Is he hurt? ” “ I imagine he missed his footing on the stairs, ” said Armathwaite coolly.
nyp.33433075765549	Is he married?
nyp.33433075765549	Is n’t that so, Mr. Armathwaite?
nyp.33433075765549	Is n’t there a spare key? ” “ Yes, sir, ” broke in the girl, for her mother was utterly nonplused again.
nyp.33433075765549	Is that it?
nyp.33433075765549	Is there any difficulty about his remaining in the Grange? ” “ He is a friend of Meg's, ” explained Arma- thwaite.
nyp.33433075765549	It was on account of a legacy. ” “ But from whom?
nyp.33433075765549	MAN OF ACTION 157 “ What do you mean by ‘ Percy Whittaker ’s warning ’?
nyp.33433075765549	Mebbe, you ’ll have heerd of a ghost, sir? ” A window was raised, and both men looked up.
nyp.33433075765549	Mr. Armathwaite is giving him all the help he needs. ” “ To put the place in order? ” “ Yes, of course.
nyp.33433075765549	Mr. Armathwaite knows all about that. ” “ Does he?
nyp.33433075765549	Mr. Armathwaite, is this your doing?
nyp.33433075765549	Mr. Armathwaite, what am I to think?
nyp.33433075765549	Mrs. Garth did n’t mean to part with it — twig?
nyp.33433075765549	My chum is a younger sister, Christabel. ” “ Suarez?
nyp.33433075765549	Need I explain myself further? ” “ It- it would be as well. ” “ All right.
nyp.33433075765549	Not that her father was not dead, but that some other man had died and been buried in his place| Who had spread the rumors?
nyp.33433075765549	Now, old chap, pull 174 THE HOUSE'ROUND THE CORNER yourself together I Ca n't you stand?
nyp.33433075765549	Now, who are you?
nyp.33433075765549	Now, will you send for Mrs. Ogilvey? ” “ No, ” came the instant reply.
nyp.33433075765549	Now, you have an inven- tory, I believe?
nyp.33433075765549	Of course, I was delighted — what girl would n’t be?
nyp.33433075765549	Of whom, then, or of what?
nyp.33433075765549	Oh, Mr. Armathwaite, what does it all mean?
nyp.33433075765549	Oh, Percy, do n't you see what people must think?
nyp.33433075765549	Once they ’re there, they could n’t very well be sent back, could they?
nyp.33433075765549	Percy would do any- thing for me, but there was no sense in send- ing him, was there?
nyp.33433075765549	Percy, is that you? ” By that time Armathwaite had partly raised the fallen man, who did not seem to have an atom of breath left in his body.
nyp.33433075765549	Perhaps, to relieve my anxiety, you will send a message from York announcing your decision? ” “ Yes; I ’ll do that.
nyp.33433075765549	Please, what time is it? ” “ Nearly midnight. ” “ Oh, I must be going!
nyp.33433075765549	Shall I boil you some eggs? ” “ If you mention food again, I shall drop.
nyp.33433075765549	Shall I bring it in, or will you wait for Miss Meg? ” she said.
nyp.33433075765549	Shall I carry you to a chair? ” In a dazed way Whittaker endeavored to stand upright.
nyp.33433075765549	Shall we go down? ” They descended the stairs, which creaked loudly under their feet.
nyp.33433075765549	She was “ disturbed ” by the “ rumors. ” What rumors?
nyp.33433075765549	That is real fame, is n’t it? — 80 THE HOUSE'ROUND THE CORNER to be regarded as top- dog in your particular line.
nyp.33433075765549	The best way to disarm gossip was to answer as best they might the four ques- tions put by every inquirer: Who is he?
nyp.33433075765549	The body showed few of these indices. ” “ Would you mind telling us what you are driving at, Dr. Scaife? ” the coroner had asked.
nyp.33433075765549	The doctor who gave evidence — was he your reg- ular medical attendant? ” “ He was an intimate friend rather than a doctor.
nyp.33433075765549	The lady you saw is Miss Marguérite Ogilvey. ” “ Is she now?
nyp.33433075765549	Then there was poor Mr. Garth's case, which ye’ll hae heerd aboot, mebbe? ” “ Yes, I ’ve heard of it, ” said Armathwaite.
nyp.33433075765549	Then you came. ” “ The bedroom was prepared for your use, then? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075765549	Then, as to the fishing, could the Walkers arrange that for him?
nyp.33433075765549	Too often they savor of snobbery; but, in this instance, I am obliged to remind you that my cousin is a lady. ” “ Oh, is that it?
nyp.33433075765549	Was ever girl plunged into such a sea of trouble?
nyp.33433075765549	Was it his business to exorcise the evil spirit?
nyp.33433075765549	Were these com- plications never to cease?
nyp.33433075765549	Were you there, sir? ” “ I — er — yes, but as a non- combatant.
nyp.33433075765549	What about this present glorious revel of sunshine?
nyp.33433075765549	What can have hap- pened?
nyp.33433075765549	What crooked line would that curiously- constituted youth take?
nyp.33433075765549	What ghost?
nyp.33433075765549	What good will I do by running away?
nyp.33433075765549	What has happened?
nyp.33433075765549	What is there to be ashamed of in that, I ’d like to know? ” “ It ’s distinctly to your credit, in some ways, ” said Armathwaite.
nyp.33433075765549	What next?
nyp.33433075765549	What time did the accident happen? ” “ Exactly at half- past seven, ” said Arma- thwaite.
nyp.33433075765549	What time do you pass through the village on Monday? ” “ Shortly after eleven, sir. ” “ If you see a light, come in.
nyp.33433075765549	What time do you want breakfast, and what ’ll you have cooked? ” Armathwaite nodded his satisfaction.
nyp.33433075765549	What use would he make of the knowledge?
nyp.33433075765549	What was it?
nyp.33433075765549	What was well?
nyp.33433075765549	What would you have done, in my shoes?
nyp.33433075765549	What's to be done?
nyp.33433075765549	Whatever time is it? ” was the hesitating comment.
nyp.33433075765549	When all was said and done, who in Elmdale actually knew that the erstwhile Stephen Garth was living?
nyp.33433075765549	Where am I, please? ” “ Near Elmdale.
nyp.33433075765549	Where have you buried yourself all this time?
nyp.33433075765549	Where is Elmdale? ” The head of the firm pointed to a map of the North Riding hanging above the fireplace.
nyp.33433075765549	Where is the patient? ” At that minute the doctor set eyes on Mar- guérite, who had come to the door of the dining- room.
nyp.33433075765549	Where were we?
nyp.33433075765549	Which is the leading bank here???
nyp.33433075765549	Which is the leading bank here???
nyp.33433075765549	Which is the leading bank here???
nyp.33433075765549	Who are you, and how did you come to get yourself locked in in this way? ” “ Please let me out! ” came the muffled reply.
nyp.33433075765549	Who can tell?
nyp.33433075765549	Who is the other man? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433075765549	Who was the Ogilvey who left the money?
nyp.33433075765549	Who ’d have thought of anyone com- ing here to- day, of all days in the year? ” “ Who ’s that with him? ” Betty almost sobbed.
nyp.33433075765549	Who ’d have thought of anyone com- ing here to- day, of all days in the year? ” “ Who ’s that with him? ” Betty almost sobbed.
nyp.33433075765549	Who's Miss Meg? ” Smiled the other.
nyp.33433075765549	Who, then, was the auda- cious young lady now assuring him that he could boil eggs admirably?
nyp.33433075765549	Why are you making yourself a nuisance when everyone is doing all that is possible to serve you? ” Whittaker clutched the doctor even more tightly.
nyp.33433075765549	Why should I not resume my own name, and let my brother die and be buried as Stephen Garth?
nyp.33433075765549	Why should n’t I visit Elmdale and this house if I wanted to? ” “ You have quite failed to understand my exclamation.
nyp.33433075765549	Why should n’t a death which took place in this house two years since prove equally susceptible of a simple explanation?
nyp.33433075765549	Why?, Armathwaite found that life bristled with in- terrogatives just then.
nyp.33433075765549	Will you be free at six O’clock? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Well, come to my house, and we ’ll discuss matters fully.
nyp.33433075765549	Will you ever forgive ARMATHWAITE STATES A CASE 195 me, Bob, for all the worry I have caused you? ” “ No, ” he said.
nyp.33433075765549	You are really con- vinced that I ought to meet mother? ” ‘ ‘ I ’m sure of it. ” “ Then you can trust me.
nyp.33433075765549	You believe my father is a murderer?
nyp.33433075765549	You do n’t mean to say I'm crocked for any length of time? ” “ For a day or two, at least, ” came the diplomatic assurance.
nyp.33433075765549	You say you saw and spoke to Miss Meg herself? ” “ Oh, yes, sir!
nyp.33433075765549	You walked — how many miles? ” “ Fourteen. ”* “ And breakfasted at York? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075765549	You walked — how many miles? ” “ Fourteen. ”* “ And breakfasted at York? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075765549	You wo n’t be afraid, and lie awake for hours? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075765549	You wo n’t like the house. ” “ What's wrong with it? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433075765549	You ’ve brought it, of course? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075765549	You, Mr. Armathwaite?
nyp.33433075765549	~ “ Will you mind your own business? ” he grumbled.
nyp.33433075765549	‘ How far to Elmdale?'
nyp.33433075765549	‘ If anybody A NEW TENANT 9 else rents or buys the house, they take the ghost With it. ’ ” “ Is it for Sale? ” “ Oh, yes!
nyp.33433075765549	‘ On Mr. Walker ’s register. ” Is n’t it your real name? ” “ There!
nyp.33433075765549	“ And are n’t you rather hungry? ” he re- plied, ignoring both questions.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Are n’t we making mountains out of molehills?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Are n’t you gettin ’ out, sir? ” he inquired, and his tone implied both surprise and pain.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Are n’t you pleased to see me? ” she cried.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Are you Mr. Walker? ” said the newcomer.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Are you?
nyp.33433075765549	“ But is n’t it an awful bore to find you have a girl lodger?
nyp.33433075765549	“ But why? ” she persisted.
nyp.33433075765549	“ But, do n’t you see, he's waving to us?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Ca n’t you take your trap to the stable and come back here? ” he asked, thereby admitting that Walker ’s breach of decorum was condoned.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Can we do anything for you, sir? ” she said.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Come back to the old love — is that it? ” “ That's it, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Despite Mr. Percy Whittaker's warning, will you trust me so far as to explain your reason for refusing? ” WHIT TAKER A.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Did Percy fall?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Did you hurt Walker? ” was her next rather unexpected question, while pouring some milk into a saucer.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Discovery of what, or by whom? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Enough to hang anybody, is n’t it? ” she cried, with dolorous effort to speak in lighter vein.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Five?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Go and see what has become of her? ’ was the order, and here I am.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Have you brought my boxes? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Have you quite recovered from your fright? ” “ Yes, sir. ” She reddened again, thinking she knew what was coming.
nyp.33433075765549	“ He was here years an ’ years. ” “ Does Mr. Armathwaite mean to have the grounds attended to? ” “ Looks like it, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ How did Mr. Garth come into the property? ” “ I do n’t rightly ken, but folk said it was through yan( one) o'Faulkner's married daughters.
nyp.33433075765549	“ How long did the run from York to Elmdale take? ”- “ A little more than two hours, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ How long have you been acquainted with the family? ” “ Ever since I went to school with Christabel at Brighton.
nyp.33433075765549	“ How much for this lot? ” inquired the would- be tenant.
nyp.33433075765549	“ How often have I told you to wear strong boots with good, stout soles? ” she said.
nyp.33433075765549	“ I think Miss Ogilvey ought to be profoundly grateful for your self- sacrifice. ” “ There, Meg, do you hear that?
nyp.33433075765549	“ I ’ve hit on a plan that should rout the enemy. ” “ Which enemy? ” she asked in a lower tone.
nyp.33433075765549	“ If I ’m here in half an hour, will you have a carriage waiting? ” “ A dog- cart, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ If my mother ought to come, why not my father? ” she cried vehemently.
nyp.33433075765549	“ In plain English, I suppose, ” he said, “ this man, Armathwaite, bundled you out neck and crop? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is Leyburn the station on the other side of the moor? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is it a Smash? ” “ No, thank goodness!.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is that from Proverbs? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is that milk recipe of yours really in- tended for use? ” she inquired, with a piteous attempt at a Smile.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is there anything to go back to the post office? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is there no summer, then?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Is this Nuttonby? ” said the passenger.
nyp.33433075765549	“ May I retain this?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Miss Meg?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Need I eat eggs at all? ” said the girl.
nyp.33433075765549	“ No, A FAINT- HEARTED ALLY 137 much to make a fuss about in searching for a book, is there? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Now, do n’t touch this door again, and clear out, d'ye hear? ” Betty flushed.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Now, you can determine whether I should trouble Mr. Walker, senior, or not? ” “ No trouble at all, sir!
nyp.33433075765549	“ Oh, mother! ” said the girl, in awe- stricken accents, “ why did n’t you hide'em? ” “ How was I to hide'em?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Oh, mother! ” said the girl, in awe- stricken accents, “ why did n’t you hide'em? ” “ How was I to hide'em?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Oh, sir! ” she almost whispered; “ what time did she come? ” “ About midnight. ” “ There now!
nyp.33433075765549	“ One of these? ” he inquired, meeting the girl ’s eyes in a steady glance.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Shall I pull it out? ” “ No, thanks, ” said Armathwaite.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Shall We turn back? ” he said.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Suppose we go there and discuss matters? ” “ Is n’t it rather late?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Suppose we go there and discuss matters? ” “ Is n’t it rather late?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Sure? ” echoed the girl.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Surely we have not got to check the titles of all these books? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075765549	“ The deuce take it, what ’s come to you to- day?
nyp.33433075765549	“ The owner, and former occupant, of this house, was Mr. Stephen Garth? ” “ Is, ” she corrected.
nyp.33433075765549	“ There's no bad news from home, is there? ” “ No- that ’s all right.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Well, what if I am? ” she said at last, with a touch of the earlier defiance in her voice.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Well, what is it? ” he cried gruffly, hoping his companion has missed that display of Ile I'VeS.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Were you at Dargai? ” The question achieved the immediate effect counted on.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What d'ye make of it, dad? ” inquired the “ nut, ” forgetting his importance in the absorb- ing interest of the moment.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What do you mean? ” he said thickly.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What has happened that you should speak so unkindly? ” she quavered.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What in the world are you doing here? ” she went on, halting in front of him.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What is n’t true? ” demanded his son.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What is? ” demanded Whittaker.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What kind of house is it? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What lucky wind brought you here?
nyp.33433075765549	“ What time is it? ” “ About six o'clock.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What will your people say when the whole business comes out? ” he grumbled.
nyp.33433075765549	“ What ’s the matter? ” she cried again.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Whatever can we do? ” cried Mrs. Jack- son, with the hopeless distress of a woman overwhelmed by some unforeseen and tragic oc- currence.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Where is it?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Who is he? ” continued the doctor.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Who ’d ever ha ’ thought of the like of that?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Why should you be vexed with me now?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Why talk of such horrid things?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Will sixteen shillings meet the case? ” But Bland drew the line at downright extor- tion.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Will you hold the lamp, Mr. Armathwaite, while I have a look?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Will you kindly call at the railway sta- tion? ” he said.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Will you kindly promise not to grab my legs as I come down? ” said the voice.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Will you need to be called, sir? ” she in- quired, as an afterthought.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Wo n't you remove your hat? ” he said, thinking to perplex her by a mischievous re- quest.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Would n’t it be better for her if he was n’t?
nyp.33433075765549	“ Ye'll hae gotten Betty an'her mother to do for you? ” commented the carrier.
nyp.33433075765549	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Why this crush of traffic? ” “ It ’s market day, sir. ” “ Thanks.
nyp.33433075765549	“ You do n’t doubt what I ’m tellin'you, do you?
nyp.33433075765549	“ You enlightened her ignorance, I pre- sume? ” he inquired blandly.
nyp.33433075765549	“ You here, Mr. Walker? ” said the Anglo- Indian calmly.
nyp.33433075765549	“ You think that if I were married I would n’t be quite such a tom- boy — is that it? ” she went on.
nyp.33433075765549	“ You think that the taking of human life may be justifiable? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433075765549	“ You ’ll be Mr. Armathwaite, I ’m thinkin ’? ” went on the other.
nyp.33433075765549	“ You ’ll not have tried the beck yet, sir? ” he said, twisting the conversation rather ob- viously.
nyp.33433075742381	- “ Wrong? ” echoed the lawyer, and a look of some- thing like emotion flitted over his stolid features.
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ But who can it be?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Certainly who? ” a voice interrupted him, and the baron came into the room.
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Do you mean Sergius? ” “ Yes, ” she answered softly.
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ I suppose your plan was to come here, and by the aid of the document, open negotiaions with Kerensky? ” asked Wallion.
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Look here, are you ever coming to the point? ” “ I begin to suspect that we have an antagonist. ” T“An antagonist?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Look here, are you ever coming to the point? ” “ I begin to suspect that we have an antagonist. ” T“An antagonist?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Sonia Andreievna Do you see what time it is?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Well, what of that?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ What is your memory worth? ” Raebel did not reply.
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Who has a better right than I? ” “ You have forfeited it.
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Who is Bernard Jenin really? ” “ How should I know?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Who is Bernard Jenin really? ” “ How should I know?
nyp.33433075742381	. ” “ Yes, unless what?
nyp.33433075742381	12 THE COPPER HOUSE “ Marcus Tassler, ” exclaimed the baron, impatiently, “ what are you doing here?
nyp.33433075742381	14 THE COPPER HOUSE “ You ca n’t think that this stripling will turn out to be our antagonist? ” said he.
nyp.33433075742381	30 THE COPPER HOUSE “ What is it? ” asked the young man, quickly.
nyp.33433075742381	70 THE COPPER HOUSE “ Was n’t it kind of me to warn you, when it is so dull here? ” laughed the girl.
nyp.33433075742381	A caricature of Napoleon?
nyp.33433075742381	A common ad- ORTIZ MUSTERS HIS FORCES 227 venturer, acting a ridiculous part?
nyp.33433075742381	After a pause he asked: “ Is the young man here? ” “ Yes, he is here.
nyp.33433075742381	And now, what was the result?
nyp.33433075742381	And so many precious months had gone by already — what was the date?
nyp.33433075742381	And what are we, then? ” “ Well, who is the creature, then? ” “ It is Sergius! ” The baron started.
nyp.33433075742381	And what are we, then? ” “ Well, who is the creature, then? ” “ It is Sergius! ” The baron started.
nyp.33433075742381	And who was your companion? ” “ He was a stranger to me, ” explained Leo.
nyp.33433075742381	And would Rastakov never come out of the mysterious door of room 23?
nyp.33433075742381	Are you a detective, by any chance? ” he added suspiciously.
nyp.33433075742381	Are you all asleep there?
nyp.33433075742381	Are you beginning to feel what an utter worm you are, little Marcus?
nyp.33433075742381	Are you mad?
nyp.33433075742381	Arms, you mean? ” “ Yes, a good deal of stuff was brought here on the motor- launch Nelly's contraband trips.
nyp.33433075742381	As he came into the hall, which was empty, a new and alarming thought struck him; what had become of Wallion?
nyp.33433075742381	BARON FAYERLING WAITS 15 “ Was there anything else? ” asked the baron.
nyp.33433075742381	But is there nothing more?
nyp.33433075742381	But what was I to do with it?
nyp.33433075742381	But what was this?
nyp.33433075742381	Ca n’t you answer?
nyp.33433075742381	Ca n’t you make him see reason? ” “ I do n’t think that is necessary, ” she answered quietly."
nyp.33433075742381	Can no one answer the question before it is too late?
nyp.33433075742381	Can no one foresee what sort of crop must ultimately spring from this strife- sodden soil?
nyp.33433075742381	Can you forgive me? ” “ My dear Mr. Wallion, ” replied Leo at once; “ I am flattered, delighted!
nyp.33433075742381	Can you imagine the horrors we went through?
nyp.33433075742381	Can you see nothing?
nyp.33433075742381	Did he find it?
nyp.33433075742381	Did you hear what those fellows were saying? ” “ I seem to be in great demand P ’ replied Wallion.
nyp.33433075742381	Did you not assure Rastakov and his people that the Bolshevists are your friends?
nyp.33433075742381	Do I need to tell you that nothing can stop me? ” He struck the table with the palm of his hand.
nyp.33433075742381	Do n't you think that ’s enough?
nyp.33433075742381	Do n’t you know where he has gone?
nyp.33433075742381	Do you attach so little import- ance to the disappearance of the paper? ” exclaimed the mortified and astonished Sergius.
nyp.33433075742381	Do you know his his- tory? ” “ Yes, more or less.
nyp.33433075742381	Do you sup- pose I take either friends or enemies into account?
nyp.33433075742381	Do you think I have hidden him in one of these drawers?
nyp.33433075742381	Do you think he is still there? ” “ At Petrograd?
nyp.33433075742381	Do you think he is still there? ” “ At Petrograd?
nyp.33433075742381	Do you think you can man- age it? ” The Austrian nodded.
nyp.33433075742381	Empty, of course? ” “ No, ” replied Leo, after looking through it, “ that 32 THE COPPER HOUSE is the most surprising thing of all.
nyp.33433075742381	First, what became of all that was left of Ortiz'millions?
nyp.33433075742381	Grath, where are you? ” and he went down- stairs.
nyp.33433075742381	Had he actually broken through the cordon of sentries?
nyp.33433075742381	Had he been seen?
nyp.33433075742381	Had he discovered Bernard Jenin ’s hiding- place?
nyp.33433075742381	Had the journalist been caught in a trap, and help- lessly resigned himself to his fate?
nyp.33433075742381	Hallo, what ’s that? ” He leaned forward and looked out of the window.
nyp.33433075742381	Has he risen from his grave to play the grand jeu'?
nyp.33433075742381	Has not a grain of dust been able to change the course of the world before now?
nyp.33433075742381	Have you been to see Burchardt? ” “ Yes, I have been to him. ” Tassler thrust his hands into his trouser- pockets, and confronted the baron.
nyp.33433075742381	Have you caught him? ” “ No, ” replied the baron.
nyp.33433075742381	Have you really the moral courage to watch Tarraschin's document burn?
nyp.33433075742381	He flung himself into a chair, and buried his head in his hands; what should he do?
nyp.33433075742381	How could we hope to do so now, if we had not succeeded at the time?
nyp.33433075742381	How did he know, to begin with, that I was coming here? ” “ How, indeed, ” echoed the lawyer significantly.
nyp.33433075742381	How long have you been in his service? ” “ Since October, 1915. ” “ Nearly from the beginning, then.
nyp.33433075742381	How ’s that for an idea? ” The lawyer remained silent: he had not the heart to reply.
nyp.33433075742381	I am not obliged to answer, ” he said after a pause; “ you are not my judge! ” “ But you would like to be mine, would n’t you?
nyp.33433075742381	I do n’t know you, what do you want with me?
nyp.33433075742381	I have your son — you have the document: will you ex- change? ” A dead pause ensued.
nyp.33433075742381	I know you want to help us, but what can you do by yourself?
nyp.33433075742381	I presume that you have realized your mistake by this time? ” “ In coming here, you mean?
nyp.33433075742381	I presume that you have realized your mistake by this time? ” “ In coming here, you mean?
nyp.33433075742381	I shall set to work when Marcus Tassler has been here. ” “ Do you think he is coming? ” “ Yes, he is bound to.
nyp.33433075742381	I suppose they made you believe that you would be working for the liberty of Finland? ” “ That was so, ” said B.22 in a low voice.
nyp.33433075742381	I suppose you have seen the notices in the newspapers about the mysterious mine- explosion?
nyp.33433075742381	If there were really anyone hidden in the Copper House, thought Leo, he would certainly-be found within ten minutes: what was the journalist doing?
nyp.33433075742381	If we stop where we are, we shall be no better than prisoners, and who knows what may happen when they discover that you are here?
nyp.33433075742381	Is Ortiz still behind the scenes?
nyp.33433075742381	Is n’t that odd? ” He opened and read it, first to himself, then aloud: “ MR.
nyp.33433075742381	Leo reached the spot at the same moment, and exclaimed: “ What's wrong? ” The motor cyclist took no notice of him.
nyp.33433075742381	No sound issued from the 232 THE COPPER HOUSE “ No. ” “ Can you deny that you are an Austrian detective named Max Raebel? ” said Ortiz.
nyp.33433075742381	No, there is something else in the wind — but what?
nyp.33433075742381	Now tell me, what is going on at the boarding- house? ” “ Yes, I will tell you, ” the fellow burst out excitedly.
nyp.33433075742381	Now, will you come this way? ” They went into the study, and Wallion lighted a lamp with a yellow shade, that stood upon his writing- table.
nyp.33433075742381	Oh, he is certainly there — but where? ” Maurice Wallion wrote a few lines on a piece of paper, and handed it to his companion.
nyp.33433075742381	Perhaps you have something to say to me? ” “ No, not yet.
nyp.33433075742381	Perhaps you never heard of the Emperor of the Ama- zons? ” “ No, ” replied the gardener, looking surprised.
nyp.33433075742381	Ser- gius is not what he was, he has taken the wrong road, and anyone who shelters him is bound to be ruined. ” “ What do you want? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075742381	Shall I read it out to you? ” “ You are mad! ” muttered Ortiz hoarsely.
nyp.33433075742381	Shall I tell you that it is written in French?
nyp.33433075742381	She looked firmly and menacingly at the intruder and said: “ Rastakov, did I invite you to come in? ” The cyclist halted.
nyp.33433075742381	She was run- ning towards him: was she turning back?
nyp.33433075742381	Since nobody knows us, how can anyone become our antagonist? ” “ You think not?
nyp.33433075742381	Since nobody knows us, how can anyone become our antagonist? ” “ You think not?
nyp.33433075742381	Sir, Should you intend taking any steps with regard to the Copper House, may I beg you to wait for fur- ther information from me?
nyp.33433075742381	So he threatens me, does he?
nyp.33433075742381	Suddenly she asked: “ Have you seen Mr. Tassler? ” Leo shook his head, and they were silent again.
nyp.33433075742381	THE COPPER HOUSE “ To see if the house is watched. ” “ And is it? ” “ Fortunately not.
nyp.33433075742381	Tassler turned to her: “ Can I see Andrei Ivanovitch? ” he asked sharply; “ Rastakov tells me that your brother is up.
nyp.33433075742381	The A YOUNG MAN ARRIVES 33 first thing for you to do is to find out what Maurice Wallion knows. ” “ I am going straight to him. ” “ Now?
nyp.33433075742381	The article ran as follows: “ Have we lost all power of distinguishing between essentials and non- essentials?
nyp.33433075742381	The blind man, who sat with his white head turned towards him, continued softly: “ What, are you afraid of your own suspicions?
nyp.33433075742381	The fellow, like himself, was really on the way to the Copper House, then?
nyp.33433075742381	The last- named wrung the journalist ’s hand, in silent gratitude, but the old Russian exclaimed: “ What are you doing, Mr. Wallion?
nyp.33433075742381	The lightning had shown him the terrace empty: would the three messengers succeed in getting past the sentries?
nyp.33433075742381	The man at the gate showed it quite unmistakably — for one. ” “ With his gun, you mean?
nyp.33433075742381	The situation is perfectly simple — we have only to be prepared P “ Are you armed? ” “ Of course!
nyp.33433075742381	They do it these nights, especially, as they are engaged in shifting a secret cargo on board the lighter. ” “ A secret cargo?
nyp.33433075742381	WALLION MAKES AN ACQUAINTANCE 161 “ You know that, do you?
nyp.33433075742381	WALLION MEETS B.22 49 He ’s just gone?
nyp.33433075742381	Wallion laughed, feigning intense surprise: “ Is this little flame so valuable?
nyp.33433075742381	Wallion smiled again, and said: AN OUTPOST SRIRMISH 133 “ So they are expecting me? ” “ Yes, anxiously.
nyp.33433075742381	Was everybody going crazy?
nyp.33433075742381	Was he afraid?
nyp.33433075742381	Was he waiting for something?
nyp.33433075742381	Was no one coming back?
nyp.33433075742381	Was she determined to make a fight for the document?
nyp.33433075742381	Was that Ortiz ’ work? ” The man crimsoned with rage and shame.
nyp.33433075742381	We are absolutely powerless, Leo; the sale must take place! ” “ Must it? ” murmured Leo, still unconvinced.
nyp.33433075742381	We must go straight to him. ” “ To whom? ” “ Maurice Wallion. ” The girl gave a little cry.
nyp.33433075742381	We need n’t be too particular now, you know! ” “ But how shall we get away from here? ” asked a doubtful voice.
nyp.33433075742381	Were they your work? ” The vehemence of Wallion ’s attack struck Ortiz dumb.
nyp.33433075742381	What actually happened that night out in the Baltic?
nyp.33433075742381	What are you going to do, Rosenthal? ” “ Go indoors, and get a bit of sleep, ” replied the gardener.
nyp.33433075742381	What business had the fellow on this landing?
nyp.33433075742381	What did you see, to scare you so desperately? ” At this question, a sort of panic terror overwhelmed Leo.
nyp.33433075742381	What did you think you were going to do, single- handed? ” “ Why, of course, we meant to go and find you. ” “ Me? ” said Wallion, gravely.
nyp.33433075742381	What did you think you were going to do, single- handed? ” “ Why, of course, we meant to go and find you. ” “ Me? ” said Wallion, gravely.
nyp.33433075742381	What do you mean? ” “ There is nothing in the stick! ” Sergius Tassler grew pale, and stared, as though petrified, into the hollow tube.
nyp.33433075742381	What do you say to having a bit of lunch, whilst we discuss the situation? ” 174 THE COPPER HOUSE to the great drama of his life.
nyp.33433075742381	What do you want? ” Tassler went up to her; his eyes were bloodshot, and his face had turned a sort of sickly gray color.
nyp.33433075742381	What does this mean?
nyp.33433075742381	What else was there for us to do?
nyp.33433075742381	What exactly had he ex- pected?
nyp.33433075742381	What shall I do? ” “ Do n’t take it so hard.
nyp.33433075742381	What was it he wanted to tell me? ” Wallion lighted a cigarette, and Leo could see that he was deeply moved.
nyp.33433075742381	What was up?
nyp.33433075742381	What will you do? ” “ We?
nyp.33433075742381	What will you do? ” “ We?
nyp.33433075742381	What's all this about?
nyp.33433075742381	What's the good of bringing an accusation against one Gabriel Ortiz, when no one has any idea where to find him?
nyp.33433075742381	What's up? ” “ I am expecting B.22.
nyp.33433075742381	When is the next train to Karkby? ” Tassler's fishy eyes seemed to conceal all manner of dark and crafty thoughts.
nyp.33433075742381	Where have you hidden Sergius Tassler? ” His dark, steadfast gaze seemed to read her inmost thoughts.
nyp.33433075742381	Where is he now? ” “ As soon as Bernard Jenin and I arrived at Stock- holm this morning, Rastakov took charge.
nyp.33433075742381	Where will you drive to? ” “ First of all to the nearest usable telephone, ” he replied.
nyp.33433075742381	Who is the Man in the Whirlpool?
nyp.33433075742381	Who is the fellow, and what does he mean? ” Burchardt took the letter, and read it in his turn, slowly and attentively.
nyp.33433075742381	Who? ” “ That remains to be seen.
nyp.33433075742381	Why are you silent?
nyp.33433075742381	Why do you ask me, Marcus, when you know that you have always managed everything? ” “ Exactly, I undertook to see to all your business for you.
nyp.33433075742381	Why do you let the matter trouble you so deeply?
nyp.33433075742381	Why go in by the back way, when we can arrive in style, sheltered by these great trees?
nyp.33433075742381	Why not say at once that you are the Emperor of China? ” “ Do n’t you hear me say that this place belongs to me?
nyp.33433075742381	Why not say at once that you are the Emperor of China? ” “ Do n’t you hear me say that this place belongs to me?
nyp.33433075742381	Why not?
nyp.33433075742381	Why should n’t one or two of them have been simply stolen?
nyp.33433075742381	Why were we in the Copper House?
nyp.33433075742381	Why wo n’t you be frank with me? ” The girl did not reply.
nyp.33433075742381	Will it content you if I can show that the fellow robbed me? ” Leo replied with a stiff bow.
nyp.33433075742381	Wo n’t you have a little pity on me? ” They had walked to the top of a slight rise, from which they could see down the greater part of the avenue.
nyp.33433075742381	Would not such a man establish himself at the very heart of the Whirlpool, to direct the various powers of destruc- tion whither he will?
nyp.33433075742381	You can leave us with a clear conscience. ” “ But you?
nyp.33433075742381	You can see perfectly well where you are — do you recognize Prince Tarraschin's handwriting?
nyp.33433075742381	You do n’t believe me?
nyp.33433075742381	You have hidden the paper somewhere about you — not in your clothes — they are liable to be searched, are n’t they?—what else have you?
nyp.33433075742381	You have n’t much fight left in you, have you? ” He came up, laughing and rubbing his hands.
nyp.33433075742381	You see this tiny flame, and this little cigarette?
nyp.33433075742381	You watched over your son at night, whilst he slept, did n’t you?
nyp.33433075742381	You will give us the pleasure of your company at dinner?
nyp.33433075742381	You would see it extinguished at any price? ”- “ I will give you ten millions if you will blow it out, ” sad the adventurer.
nyp.33433075742381	You — poor?
nyp.33433075742381	You, the organ- izer of the Reactionary Party in Russia?—for shame, what duplicity| What about these last Bolshevist uprisings in Petrograd?
nyp.33433075742381	Your fingers are like ice, are you very frightened?
nyp.33433075742381	“ A million, perhaps? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075742381	“ A mine- explosion? ” suggested someone.
nyp.33433075742381	“ An amiable idiot?
nyp.33433075742381	“ And Tarraschin's memorandum? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ And the immediate result is this nocturnal visit? ” THE PROBLEM- HUNTER 85 continued Wallion.
nyp.33433075742381	“ And what about Tarraschin ’s memorandum? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ And who may he be? ” growled another.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Are you armed? ” asked Raebel.
nyp.33433075742381	“ B.22 coming here? ” “ Yes, the poor chap is scared stiff, and is inclined to betray Ortiz to save his own skin.
nyp.33433075742381	“ But do you remember Mrs. Gregory at Los Angeles?
nyp.33433075742381	“ But how can the police help us?
nyp.33433075742381	“ But how on earth did you know that I was coming to Stock- holm?
nyp.33433075742381	“ But suppose he should find out anything? ”- “ In that case, he need not survive it.
nyp.33433075742381	“ But where did the baron get a picture of me? ” “ He probably cut it out of some newspaper.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Can I see his photograph? ” he asked in a hesitating voice.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Can one reach the first floor that way? ” “ Yes, there is a landing and a door there. ” “ That ’s fine!
nyp.33433075742381	“ Can you mean me, by any chance? ” Tassler was silent.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Could n't you have waited till I was ready?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did n't Lona Ivanovna say that the paper was quite small, and tightly- rolled up?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did you ever hear of the Emperor of the Amazons? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did you go and look for him? ” “ Yes, I have had a talk with him. ” “ And — you let him go? ” “ Yes, he is broken and changed.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did you go and look for him? ” “ Yes, I have had a talk with him. ” “ And — you let him go? ” “ Yes, he is broken and changed.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did you hear that? ” whispered the girl.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did you know it? ” demanded Leo quickly.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Did you look in here? ” he heard the baron ask just outside the door.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do n’t you remember the old oak tree behind the house?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do n’t you? ” returned the journalist.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you know what your friend the Problem- hunter wants me for? ” “ No, but that does n’t matter.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you know what “ Tarraschin's memorandum'is?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you know who that is? ” whispered Sonia.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you know why I am dying? ” said he.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you mean his political associates? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you see him? ” whispered Lona Ivanovna.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you still think so, now that Finland is really free, in consequence of the March Revolution?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Do you think, too, that Jenin is dead? ” he asked, just to break the silence.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Does the future Governor of Siberia propose it? ” “ Yes. ” “ Well, I decline it.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Everything seems so strange since last night, ” she went on: “ something is going to happen! ” “ What is it?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Fayerling, ” he whispered almost inaudibly, “ do you know who Bernard Jenin is? ” “ A common thief, ” replied the baron contemptuously.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Has the baron gone away? ” he asked, eagerly.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have I gone mad? ” he asked himself.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have you anything more to tell me? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have you been there already, in spite of my warning? ” The young man nodded.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have you come from abroad? ” “ Yes, from California. ” “ Ah, California; a magnificent climate, I believe.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have you ever seen Ortiz? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have you found out anything? ” Leo asked, in a low tone.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Have you warned all our friends? ” inquired the baron.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Honest?
nyp.33433075742381	“ How much do you know about Ortiz? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ I presume I am to consider that as a formal pro- test? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075742381	“ I?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Is Ortiz there? ” he called out.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Is he dead? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Is he here? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Is n’t it a case for the police? ” he began.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Is n’t that down in your notes, yet? ” retorted the other, looking up from his rose with a smile.
nyp.33433075742381	“ It ’s high time I gave Robert Lang his final in- structions — but how am I going to do it? ” he pon- dered.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Leonard Grath, ” she echoed; “ the owner? ” “ Yes, I am afraid I have arrived rather unexpectedly, and if I have in any way.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Make a note of it, as being a day of surprises. ” “ What is it now? ” “ I have got back my pocket- book.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Miss Bernin, I believe?
nyp.33433075742381	“ My pocket- book! ” he exclaimed, “ that scoundrel has stolen it! ” “ Who has? ” asked the lawyer, jumping up.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Not alone?
nyp.33433075742381	“ One of your men searched me just now, did n’t he?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Out of whom? ” said the baron sharply.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Pleased to meet you... ” “ It ’s you, is it? ” answered the Problem- hunter, with- out seeming in the least taken aback.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Prisoners! ” echoed Leo; “ how can that be?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Serious?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Since when have you made up your mind to betray Ortiz? ”- B.22 hung his head.
nyp.33433075742381	“ So it was you who brought Tarraschin's memoran- dum out of Russia? ” said the adventurer at length, thoughtfully.
nyp.33433075742381	“ So you do n’t exactly know why you came to Stock- holm?
nyp.33433075742381	“ So you have been there?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Sonia, ” said he, taking her hand, “ I may call you Sonia, may n't I?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Speak out! ” he said, “ what do you want? ” Wallion stepped back a few paces.
nyp.33433075742381	“ That was a shot, ” she said; “ what is wrong out there? ” The lights clustered together, then shifted rapidly from one spot to another.
nyp.33433075742381	“ That's our best way, ” said he: “ come along. ” “ The avenue? ” said Leo.
nyp.33433075742381	“ The second point is: is Gabriel Ortiz really dead?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Then, ” he asked, “ is your son — here? ” “ Sergius is my son, ” she replied.
nyp.33433075742381	“ This evening, or, at latest, to- morrow. ” “ How much does he know? ” “ Nothing of Sergius ’ arrival, or Wallion ’s interfer- ence.
nyp.33433075742381	“ This is a funny life, but at any rate, we are making them dance to our tune! ” “ And where next? ” inquired Raebel faintly.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Very possibly, but this visit will be quite a change for me. ” “ How so? ” “ Oh, there is so much that is new, I mean.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Was that all? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Were you very surprised? ” “ Not so very, ” he assured her.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What a pretty girl, ” he thought: “ brown eyes, decidedly — and black hair:-an Italian, perhaps?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What about those earlier promises of yours?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What are those two fellows doing? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What are you going to do? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What can you do?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What do you mean? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What do you want? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What else can you expect, when a property has been neglected for three generations?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What have you done with it? ” “ I shall not tell you, ” replied Sergius vehemently; “ what have you to do with us?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What have you done with it? ” “ I shall not tell you, ” replied Sergius vehemently; “ what have you to do with us?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What have you done? ” “ Done?—nothing! ” sputtered Rastakov.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What is going on here?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What is it? ” whispered Leo.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What is that young scatterbrain up to now? ” Leo had come out of the house, accompanied by Sonia Bernin.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What may B.22 be?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What name, please? ” “ Leonard Grath, ” replied the other in surprise.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What next? ” wondered Leo.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What ’s the good? ” asked the young man slowly.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What ’s the sense of employing persons whom one has to kill as soon as they get to know anything?
nyp.33433075742381	“ What ’s wrong? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433075742381	“ What's all this? ” Rastakov's voice broke in sharply: “ Back to your posts, every one of you!
nyp.33433075742381	“ What's the date to- day? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433075742381	“ When is the Chief to arrive? ” he asked after a pause.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Where are you off to? ” demanded Rastakov, ap- pearing in front of him, with his right hand in his pocket.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Where are you, Wallion? ” he faltered.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Where did they store all those things before they were moved to the lighter? ” asked Wallion.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Where is Rastakov gone?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Which is the window of your room? ” whispered Wallion.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Who are you and what do you want? ” he demanded roughly, and without getting up.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Who fired, Lona Ivanovna? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Who is Maurice Wallion? ” he demanded sharply.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Who on earth is Maurice Wallion? ”- “ Unexpected, perfectly unexpected P ’ murmured the lawyer.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why are you not with us, Rosenthal?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why are you sitting there? ” Leo got up.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why did you pull my arm? ” he asked, softly.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why have you come alone? ” Lona Ivanovna also cast an inquiring glance at the young man.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why have you turned back? ” he panted; “ are they in front of us? ” “ No, no, ” she whispered eagerly; “ it is you.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why have you turned back? ” he panted; “ are they in front of us? ” “ No, no, ” she whispered eagerly; “ it is you.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Why, what business is it of his?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Will you be so kind? ” said he; “ the most impor- tant document in Europe will be found inside, rolled up like a cigarette!
nyp.33433075742381	“ Will you do me the favor of getting this in some way or other to Leonard Grath? ” he said.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Yes, where else?
nyp.33433075742381	“ Yes, ” answered the journalist; “ I see that I have made a miscalculation. ” “ What did you expect? ” Wallion did not answer.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Yes, ” said the other, “ we are all waiting for him, are n’t we? ” Wallion pulled out his notebook and laid it on the table.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Yes; did you not know it? ” answered Wallion.
nyp.33433075742381	“ You are joking, surely, sir! ” “ I?
nyp.33433075742381	“ You are really too delightful, Madame! ” said the last named person; “ what do you say, Mr. Grath?
nyp.33433075742381	“ You love color, do n’t you? ” Leo continued.
nyp.33433075742381	“ You refuse to answer? ” He put his hands behind his back, and came up to 258 THE COPPER HOUSE face, as though he were bent on solving a problem.
nyp.33433075742381	“ Young ladies are allowed to shed a few tears now and then, are n’t they?
nyp.33433075742381	“ ‘ Who do you mean?
nyp.33433074947783	- “ A regular thaw, is it not? ” he said, shaking hands.
nyp.33433074947783	- “ Have you been discussing farming?
nyp.33433074947783	232 Wildersmoor Not even newspapers?.
nyp.33433074947783	6 Wildersmoor ‘ How art tha, John?'

nyp.33433074947783	A life of ease and wealth passed with Quentin at the old Hall overlook- ing the familiar moor?
nyp.33433074947783	A lonely woman with money is a being to be robbed — what matter if she starves?
nyp.33433074947783	Ah, a good deal of Ralph's cash went that way. ” “ And Ulyett's too. ” “ Ralph took Ulyett's money?

nyp.33433074947783	And are books that inspire noble thoughts less useful than those which treat of dinner and finery?
nyp.33433074947783	And does Mrs. Holt propose to restrict the men to cooking, tailoring, and farming?
nyp.33433074947783	And even in that matter, what could she know about it?
nyp.33433074947783	And of how many men and women can we say as much?
nyp.33433074947783	And of what sort?
nyp.33433074947783	And of what use was that?
nyp.33433074947783	And that reminds me — is there an old- fashioned parson any- where about here?
nyp.33433074947783	And what are ye proposing to do?
nyp.33433074947783	And what does it matter? ” “ No, it does not matter, ” Fleming returned, ab- sently.
nyp.33433074947783	And why blame them?
nyp.33433074947783	And why should she not be happy with some other man?
nyp.33433074947783	And why were they looking down the road?
nyp.33433074947783	And why?
nyp.33433074947783	And with what results?
nyp.33433074947783	Anything else? ” Frances laughed.
nyp.33433074947783	Are my observa- tions too riotous for you, Paton?
nyp.33433074947783	Are they not brands kept for the burning?
nyp.33433074947783	Art tha going back again? ” “ Mind thy own business!”—walking away as Granny Darlow came out.
nyp.33433074947783	Art tha going far to- neet? ” “ I ’m bound fur Woffendale.
nyp.33433074947783	Art tha going to turn up thy nose at public opinion?
nyp.33433074947783	Besides, were they not friends? ” Wildersmoor 361 It was Quentin who replied: “ He and Ralph?
nyp.33433074947783	Besides, were they not friends? ” Wildersmoor 361 It was Quentin who replied: “ He and Ralph?
nyp.33433074947783	Besides, what did it matter?
nyp.33433074947783	Blind John found him lying on th ’ moor. ”- “ An accident? ” repeated Quentin.
nyp.33433074947783	Blind John is positive the man he guided was tall, but not so tall as you and your cousin, Quentin. ” “ When did John say that? ” “ To- day.
nyp.33433074947783	But I rather liked Ulyett myself. ” “ And yet you believe him guilty? ” “ And yet I believe him guilty.
nyp.33433074947783	But I wish to know if Jack sent them? ” “ Ulyett?
nyp.33433074947783	But I wish to know if Jack sent them? ” “ Ulyett?
nyp.33433074947783	But belike tha hasna been theer long? ” No answer to this.
nyp.33433074947783	But he an- swered with his customary light soft gaiety: “ Did I not say I should be scared if I heard that I should meet with justice?
nyp.33433074947783	But he has his own opinions, you see. ” “ Still, if it would be any comfort to you? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433074947783	But he wur a stranger, an'he owned up as he coom fro ’ Lunnon. ” “ Would tha know him again, John? ” “ Ay, anywheer.
nyp.33433074947783	But not, I think, for the reason you have given. ” “ Well, since it is good, what matters the reason?
nyp.33433074947783	But of what sort?
nyp.33433074947783	But shall we not cause Dr. McKie to miss his train? ” But McKie had become reckless.
nyp.33433074947783	But should he die? ” Aveland stopped.
nyp.33433074947783	But uncivilized savagery is a trifle worse. ” “ Is it?
nyp.33433074947783	But was Wildersmoor God- forgotten? — the wide undulating land with the breath of the sea stealing over it.
nyp.33433074947783	But what if they had?
nyp.33433074947783	But when he can not urge this excuse, what then is to be said for him?
nyp.33433074947783	But with El- kanah lying there in stupor, what could be done?
nyp.33433074947783	By the way, did you know the celebrated Professor Blank is one of us? ” “ Yes, but I have old- fashioned notions of hospi- tality.
nyp.33433074947783	By the way, where is it?
nyp.33433074947783	Can I take you anywhere?
nyp.33433074947783	Can we, Cyril? ” “ I am afraid not.
nyp.33433074947783	Can you wait here till he comes?
nyp.33433074947783	Come and look at the performance, will you not?
nyp.33433074947783	Conna thee tell me sum- mat about it? ” “ Theer's nowt to tell. ” “ Eh, but theer mun be.
nyp.33433074947783	Could this be his playmate, Esmé?
nyp.33433074947783	Crosier?
nyp.33433074947783	Cyril, have we got Mr. Fleming's dog- cart? ” The Vicar looked up from his discussion.
nyp.33433074947783	Did Granny — did Rossela — know that Ulyett was on the moor that night?
nyp.33433074947783	Did I not tell you those women were only coming to make mis- chief? — here it is already However, it does not mat- ter.
nyp.33433074947783	Did any despair?
nyp.33433074947783	Did any hope?
nyp.33433074947783	Did any love?
nyp.33433074947783	Did he appreciate a noble blaze, and bask contentedly in its light and heat, as one accustomed to worship at its shrine?
nyp.33433074947783	Did n't tha say Rossela wur i'service i'Lunnon?

nyp.33433074947783	Did you not see the mule as they drove up?
nyp.33433074947783	Did you notice what she said of me?
nyp.33433074947783	Did you see them as you came along? ” “ I did not notice. ” “ Well, you will as you go home.
nyp.33433074947783	Did you think I was? ” “ Oh no, I was told there was no Mrs. Fleming.
nyp.33433074947783	Dinna ye see how it all fits like the bits of a puzzle?
nyp.33433074947783	Do not all roads lead to Rome?
nyp.33433074947783	Do ye know this Ulyett? ” “ Yes; and so do you, ” taking the letter from Mc- Kie, “ only you do n't recollect him.
nyp.33433074947783	Do you expect them? ” And Nina noted the tone of Fleming's voice, the light in his eyes, as he too looked down the road.
nyp.33433074947783	Do you feel this place monotonous, my dear? ” “ I?
nyp.33433074947783	Do you feel this place monotonous, my dear? ” “ I?
nyp.33433074947783	Do you not think so, Nina? ” Mrs. Paton eyed the bent old figure, now quite near.
nyp.33433074947783	Do you re- member De Quincey's account of his own sufferings by starvation?
nyp.33433074947783	Do you recall his confession of the humiliating pain it cost him to pass a bread- shop with its smell of hot Wildersmoor 299 loaves?
nyp.33433074947783	Do you remember our political argument at the Bishop's dinner last week?
nyp.33433074947783	Do you remember? ” “ As if I could forget what Sarasate played Yes, I remember.
nyp.33433074947783	Do you want me to marry again at my time of life?

nyp.33433074947783	Doubtless the Baptist was true to the dreams of his youth — and what did they bring him?
nyp.33433074947783	Everybody said “ How charm- ing! ” When I heard of it, I said, ‘ Who damaged the dog?'
nyp.33433074947783	Father, do you think a placid life the best? ” When Aveland felt amused, two or three horizontal wrinkles showed themselves in his forehead.
nyp.33433074947783	Fleming gener- ally turns up about six, does n't he? ” “ Sometimes earlier.
nyp.33433074947783	For her sake he spent his last years at Sandhayes, for what can a young life do cooped up in a country village with none but village folk around?
nyp.33433074947783	For what did the dwellers of Wildersmoor care about the doings of the great world?
nyp.33433074947783	Granny had an uncanny reputation; could she by some occult means have become aware of the conversation in the Snug an hour previously?
nyp.33433074947783	Had Granny seen him?
nyp.33433074947783	Had they suggested to Esmé the preposterous idea that he- Quentin — had any stronger feeling for her than that of an old friend and playmate?
nyp.33433074947783	Happen he'd be better than nowt? ” Vose shook his head.
nyp.33433074947783	Happen tha knows him, mester, if tha belongs to these parts? ” “ I do n't belong to these parts, ” absently.
nyp.33433074947783	Happen tha knows him? ” “ I ’ve heard tell on him.
nyp.33433074947783	Happen tha'd loike to coom? ” “ Thank ye, I'd loike it rarely, if theer's a dark corner as I con set in.
nyp.33433074947783	Happen tha'rt fro"Woffendale? ”( g No. ” “ I know a many o'th'Woffendale folk.
nyp.33433074947783	Has Granny come? ” She had arrived a minute ago and was upstairs, sit- ting motionless by Ulyett's bedside.
nyp.33433074947783	Have you any? ” “ Thank you, my dear, yes.
nyp.33433074947783	Have you been writing to your mother again?
nyp.33433074947783	Have you gone crazy?
nyp.33433074947783	Have you kept any papers of that time?
nyp.33433074947783	Have you seen him 2 Of course you are aware he has come back? ” “ I have not seen him. ” Esmé was puzzled and annoyed.
nyp.33433074947783	He believes he can raise enough money by subscription to buy books and pay a caretaker. ” “ And what am I to do? ” asked Quentin, as she paused.
nyp.33433074947783	He looked across the table at her; what would she say?
nyp.33433074947783	He roused himself and said: “ Did you speak, lad? ” “ No, but I will do whatever you wish in this mat- ter. ” Quentin said this remorsefully.
nyp.33433074947783	He would merely rush over to the Wolf and preach repentance — that is all. ” “ He would believe John Ulyett guilty? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433074947783	He's offering seven hundred pound now instead o'five. ” “ Tha hannot found the chap yet? ” said Gleave, turning to Blind John.
nyp.33433074947783	Her grandmother lives in one of those cottages by you, does n't she?
nyp.33433074947783	How about your patients?
nyp.33433074947783	How are you, Paton?
nyp.33433074947783	How blind you men are to be taken in by these mincing images ‘ Good, ” do you say?
nyp.33433074947783	How came Ulyett to know?
nyp.33433074947783	How can one say one will do this or that or the other?
nyp.33433074947783	How can we, with merely a pony, compete with a mule! ” “ Blackshaw's mule! — but why in the world?
nyp.33433074947783	How can ye tell that he did not follow Ralph here and have sharp words with him on the moor?
nyp.33433074947783	How can ye tell yon Ulyett was not the stranger that Blind John led and did not recognize?
nyp.33433074947783	How could he?
nyp.33433074947783	How could you be so foolish?
nyp.33433074947783	How did it happen? ” McKie related the story as the three walked up the street.
nyp.33433074947783	How did they know?
nyp.33433074947783	How did we arrive at this discussion, Frances? ” “ It branched off from the Bishop's dinners, I think.
nyp.33433074947783	How else could Esmé's words and manner be explained?
nyp.33433074947783	How had she obtained it?
nyp.33433074947783	How is Mr. Fleming? ” “ He is not conscious.
nyp.33433074947783	How is my uncle? ” “ I think badly of him — verra badly.
nyp.33433074947783	How many of our wishes would gratify us, if we had them?
nyp.33433074947783	How you surprise me, Mr. Fleming. ” “ Do I?
nyp.33433074947783	I believe he did take the money, for if not, why did he talk of blowing his brains out? ”- “ He was silly to say that.
nyp.33433074947783	I con do better. ” Wildersmoor 337 “ Art tha sure as tha con do better?
nyp.33433074947783	I do n't know which was the worst. ” “ Who were at the dinners?
nyp.33433074947783	I do n't think I am a favourite with Esmé. ” “ Nor she with you?
nyp.33433074947783	I have always felt it exactly the reverse. ” “ Do you mean you dislike it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433074947783	I have just been to lunch at the palace. ” “ Have you?
nyp.33433074947783	I hear my husband asking your groom where he goes to church. ” “ Do you?
nyp.33433074947783	I imagined my duality would prove useful to an embarrassed bachelor anxious to do his best. ” “ But why a bachelor? ” “ I am not married.
nyp.33433074947783	I knew the Vicar would feel happier if I were not glowering at him, so I retired hither. ” “ What is his latest atrocity? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433074947783	I met him on the moor, and had a talk with him. ” “ How can he judge of anyone's height? ” this from Frances.
nyp.33433074947783	I mun go my own pace mester. ” “ Will not five shillings hurry you up? ” with a laugh.
nyp.33433074947783	I only wish to expand his ideas a little, they are very good ideas. ” “ And this particular idea? ” “ Is a village library.
nyp.33433074947783	I shall be back about three. ” 34 Wildersmoor “ And will you ask dear Esmé if she can spend to- day with me, Mr. Rusholme? ” said Mrs. Holt.
nyp.33433074947783	I shall know thee quick enow. ” “ Know me? ” said the stranger, in tones of sur- prise, stopping in the act of turning away.
nyp.33433074947783	I shall not be away more than two hours. ” “ Shall I come too?
nyp.33433074947783	I suppose McKie told you I was here? ”.
nyp.33433074947783	I suppose Ralph was the man then, as it is n't you. ” “ Surely we may allow her to come and see Mrs. Holt without any other thought? ” “ Pooh!
nyp.33433074947783	I suppose Ulyett is not restricted as to diet?
nyp.33433074947783	I suppose newspapers will be allowed at the library? — a pity.
nyp.33433074947783	I wish she and Crosier had been married and gone before Ulyett returned. ” “ My father discussed all this? ” said Frances, in astonishment.
nyp.33433074947783	If Frances did not marry Quentin Fleming, whom would she choose?
nyp.33433074947783	If Ralph was philandering after her, what's the mean- ing of Aveland's telling him to keep away from Sand- hayes?
nyp.33433074947783	If Ulyett were suspected?
nyp.33433074947783	If so, how many?
nyp.33433074947783	If, when I am gone, she should at any time need a friend? ” “ I shall be only too happy to be of assistance.
nyp.33433074947783	Impossible! ” “ Why impossible? ” in her prim, chilly, irritating manner.
nyp.33433074947783	In which of them whitened the bones of the murdered man?
nyp.33433074947783	Is Mrs. Paton here? ” “ No, she is at home, where I ought to be, ” said the Vicar, rising.
nyp.33433074947783	Is he better? ” The question surprised Quentin.
nyp.33433074947783	Is it likely?
nyp.33433074947783	Is it not always the man one marries who knows least about one?
nyp.33433074947783	Is it permissible, I wonder, to call a woman names?
nyp.33433074947783	Is it yon parson? ” “ That ” was a loud double knock at the front door, and, as McKie surmised, it heralded Cyril Paton and his wife.
nyp.33433074947783	Is that it? ” “ That is it exactly. ” “ Well, as regards the second contingency, you are tolerably safe.
nyp.33433074947783	Is that it? ” “ That is it precisely.
nyp.33433074947783	Is that thee, Granny? ” turning his head.
nyp.33433074947783	Is the house shut up? ” So Nina knew that her words had made an impres- I4O Wildersmoor sion.
nyp.33433074947783	Is there one of that sort hang- ing about anywhere? ” “ I think Paton is a thoroughly good fellow,'Quentin.
nyp.33433074947783	It is a great disap- pointment. ” “ Is it?
nyp.33433074947783	It is so little after all. ” Then to Quentin — “ Do you know whether help is still needed at North Rode?
nyp.33433074947783	It is “ the timid who anticipate that which may never be. ” By what delicate influences is thought transmitted?
nyp.33433074947783	It might be comparatively easy for him to face it now, but how would he look back upon it?
nyp.33433074947783	Let Ulyett be arrested?
nyp.33433074947783	Must it wither uselessly, all its possibili- ties wasted as the trodden grass by the roadside?
nyp.33433074947783	Neither of these reasons applies to Flem- ing — see? ” Esmé did see.
nyp.33433074947783	Nevertheless, I can not stay to- night. ” “ Then it is good- bye till this day week? ” “ Oh, I may perhaps drop in before then.
nyp.33433074947783	North Rode, did tha say?
nyp.33433074947783	Not too tired by the journey?
nyp.33433074947783	Now I ask ye, what was to hinder him coming to Woffendale to- day, as he proposed to do?
nyp.33433074947783	Now, centuries later, what remains of the Minister's measures or the Assas- sin's deeds?

nyp.33433074947783	Of the present?
nyp.33433074947783	Of whom are you thinking? ” “ Oh, not of anyone in particular, sir, oh – no.

nyp.33433074947783	One can always keep silence. ” “ Can one?

nyp.33433074947783	Or will you wait awhile till the room is put a bit straight for you?
nyp.33433074947783	Or would the careless handling of an unloaded gun prove the best ending to the play?
nyp.33433074947783	Or would they — as in the story — suddenly strengthen, close — change to bonds of steel that crushed out breath and life?
nyp.33433074947783	Paton generously offers to supply soap and charwomen. ” “ Does he?
nyp.33433074947783	Perhaps I am going to live — who knows?
nyp.33433074947783	Perhaps he had gone to some other house on the moor?
nyp.33433074947783	Perhaps she had been fond of him?
nyp.33433074947783	Perhaps we had better take the train here? ” “ Oh, I will get you to Wildersmoor station in lots Wildersmoor 235 of time.
nyp.33433074947783	Police? ” inquired Vose.
nyp.33433074947783	Rossela's mysterious errand was as a cloud on the horizon; who could tell into what storm it might develope?
nyp.33433074947783	SOME COMMENTS “ Who does not love a horse?

nyp.33433074947783	Shall we have rain, do you think? ” Granny looked, not at the sky and the distant sea, but at the speaker.
nyp.33433074947783	Shall ye see him to- night? ” “ I think not.
nyp.33433074947783	Should Frances be told?

nyp.33433074947783	Still the mechanical heart beat on quietly — steadily; what did it all matter to the old clock?

nyp.33433074947783	Yet if not, what then?
nyp.33433074947783	Yet what could he do?
nyp.33433074947783	You do n't make enough of him — a delicate spirit, a most sympathetic and honourable gentleman?
nyp.33433074947783	You do n't seem to get on very well with Esmé Rusholme?

nyp.33433074947783	‘ Gambler, ’ was he?
nyp.33433074947783	“ And what is the accident? ” he inquired, as they stumbled towards the Hall in the fog.
nyp.33433074947783	“ And where is your big doggie? ” continued Mc- Kie.
nyp.33433074947783	“ And you are?—is that it?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Are they home? ” Vose answered: “ No, sir, not yet.

nyp.33433074947783	“ By the way, shall you ask the Avelands to meet us? ”- “ I had not thought of it.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Can not you hit upon anyone who would be likely to owe Ralph a grudge? ” But Quentin shook his head.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Can you guide me to North Rode station?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Could you live at Wildersmoor? ” Quentin re- peated.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Did he?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Did you not reprove me a few moments ago for desiring to get to the bottom of things?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Dinna ye see, lad, how it might be?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Do you hear wheels, father? ” Aveland listened a moment.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Do you remember that fellow in Browning who thought Heaven might be one long ride at sunset?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Do you think it is true?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Do you think your uncle would assist us?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Do you?

nyp.33433074947783	“ Had your cousin any expectation of being attacked by anyone? ” Wildersmoor II 5 “ Oh, no.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Have I been long? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Have ye searched in his pockets for papers? ” he> Wildersmoor- 23 inquired, as he followed Quentin to the dining- room.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Have you forgotten already? ” Esmé laughed, a little unpleasantly.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Have you seen father?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Have you? ” Quentin was genuinely surprised.

nyp.33433074947783	“ How about that dark corner by the hall- door?
nyp.33433074947783	“ How could anyone in Woffendale know so soon? ” Quentin uttered the question almost impatiently, a rare mood for one so even- tempered as he.
nyp.33433074947783	“ How did you get home last night?
nyp.33433074947783	“ How did your cousin die?

nyp.33433074947783	“ I did not hear your horse, Quentin? ” “ I came by train, as I had to see a man in River- ton.
nyp.33433074947783	“ I dunnot know, an'I wouldna tell thee if I did. ” “ What hast tha getten i'thy head now? ” inquired the girl.
nyp.33433074947783	“ I heard Jack had stolen that money. ” “ Did you?
nyp.33433074947783	“ I reckon they wurna like this? ”- “ No. ” “ I thowt not.
nyp.33433074947783	“ I suppose it would not do to send for her as the Vicar's deputy, would it?
nyp.33433074947783	“ I suppose there would be no objection? ” interrogatively.
nyp.33433074947783	“ I ’ll go an'ask th ’ porter if he went by it. ” “ Who's the chap?
nyp.33433074947783	“ If he had won it back it was his own. ” “ Do n’t you see? ” impatiently.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Is Mr. Fleming in? ” he asked of the servant.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Is he badly hurt?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Is owd Elkanah at home? ” asked Rossela, after a long silence.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Lad, art tha in love? ” “ Nay, I amna, ” with a sheepish grin.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Let me see, what day are you and Mrs. Holt com- ing over? ” said Fleming, innocently.
nyp.33433074947783	“ McKie gone?
nyp.33433074947783	“ McKie said so this morning. ” “ Was Dr. McKie here this morning?
nyp.33433074947783	“ No time like the Maytime, eh, McKie? ” responded his host, “ and it never returns.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Now, Mrs. Holt, will you too join the happy band of helpers? ” Mrs. Holt's air was judicial.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Now, are there any more soap- suds? ” Another pail appeared, and was similarly disposed of, Elliot looking on with approval.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Rather — er — bad form to make such a fuss here, eh? ” he observed.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Suppose we hang them up now? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Surely I have seen you before, sir? ” said Vose, inquiringly.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Surely it is not true? ” “ Unhappily it is, ” said Quentin.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Tha dunnot talk mooch, mester. ” “ Do n't I?
nyp.33433074947783	“ That blind man — Blind John — do you believe his story? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433074947783	“ That is nonsense, my dear. ” “ Who is to decide what is nonsense?
nyp.33433074947783	“ The Avelands?
nyp.33433074947783	“ The dog- cart, my dear?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Then I suppose we shall be seeing you and Crosier at the Hall? ” Fleming edged towards the door as he spoke.
nyp.33433074947783	“ These chaps is coming, ” he said, “ are you fellys IO Wildersmoor coming too?
nyp.33433074947783	“ They are going to Riverton this afternoon and will not be home till eight. ” “ Missionary meeting, is n't it?
nyp.33433074947783	“ Till to- morrow then? ” said Aveland, inquiringly.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Was it not contemptible of us to buy instead of growing them ourselves? ” “ No, I think it very reasonable.

nyp.33433074947783	“ Well? ” said her companion, inquiringly.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Were the accounts all right at the Marstons'? ” asked Esmé.
nyp.33433074947783	“ What can I say to express my contentment?
nyp.33433074947783	“ What did it mean? ” she wondered.
nyp.33433074947783	“ What do you pro- pose to do? ” “ I have sent the money, ’ tone.
nyp.33433074947783	“ What does it matter, lad?

nyp.33433074947783	“ Where did you meet him? ” Nina inquired softly, indicating the Rev.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Where do you lunch, then? ” inquired Mrs. Holt, with severity.
nyp.33433074947783	“ Where shall you put them up? ” “ Must I put them up?

nyp.33433074947783	“ Would yo'believe it? ” he said, appealing to Quen- tin as sure of sympathy.

nyp.33433082173679	“ Do you know anything about a man named Nicolas Doremus? ” asked Ruyler abruptly, “ The society chap?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Do you know anything about a man named Nicolas Doremus? ” asked Ruyler abruptly, “ The society chap?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Do you think I'd leave you — to come home to a dreary house every night?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Going on to the Fairmont? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082173679	“ Has there been any talk about her? ” “ Some comment on her size.
nyp.33433082173679	“ I only know there must- must- be a change- if- if- 178 THE AVALANCHE I am to- Ca n't you take me abroad for a year?
nyp.33433082173679	“ I shall tell him. ” “ Tell him?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Is it true?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Is that your idea of how the indulgent American husband becomes rich? ” “ Oh- of course I would n't have you lose such a sum.
nyp.33433082173679	“ Is your allowance suffi- cient?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Nothing else?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Oh, yes, I have a new gown- have you ad- mired it?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Recognize her?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Some stone! ” he said, as he handed it back, “ but why in thunder do n't you keep it in a safe deposit box?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Tell me, ” he exclaimed, and the new fear almost choked him, “ does any other man inter, est you — the least little bit? ”.
nyp.33433082173679	“ The Jameses?
nyp.33433082173679	“ The fourteenth?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Well, ” said the detective,"it's like the 142 THE AVALANCHE game of button, button, who's got the button?
nyp.33433082173679	“ Well? ” asked Ruyler through his teeth.
nyp.33433082173679	“ Well?"
nyp.33433082173679	“ What are you doing here? ” asked Doremus sourly.
nyp.33433082173679	“ What is it, Hélène?
nyp.33433082173679	“ What's this I hear about a wonderful ruby your wife wore up to Gwynne's the other night?
nyp.33433082173679	“ What's up?
nyp.33433082173679	“ When do you go down to Burlingame? ”'she asked.
nyp.33433082173679	“ Who may have flourished here fifteen or twenty years ago?"
nyp.33433082173679	“ You see this win- 204 THE AVALANCHE dow?
nyp.33433076046816	A cab? nyp.33433076046816 A very singular circumstance, is it not?"
nyp.33433076046816	About your money, Herr Maitrank?
nyp.33433076046816	After all, what are a few minutes?
nyp.33433076046816	And if I refuse to tell you any story?
nyp.33433076046816	And if I refuse your offer?
nyp.33433076046816	And in the meantime what do you propose to do?
nyp.33433076046816	And let that woman go? nyp.33433076046816 And now what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433076046816	And the mending will be a matter of time?
nyp.33433076046816	And touching this doctor?
nyp.33433076046816	And what can I do for you?
nyp.33433076046816	And what do you want for this?
nyp.33433076046816	And what do you want with me?
nyp.33433076046816	And what happened after that?
nyp.33433076046816	And where is the money you speak so casually about?
nyp.33433076046816	And why not?
nyp.33433076046816	And why?
nyp.33433076046816	And you say you saw all this?
nyp.33433076046816	Anything to do with the mystery?
nyp.33433076046816	Are they bad?
nyp.33433076046816	Are we getting near the spot?
nyp.33433076046816	Are we waiting for somebody?
nyp.33433076046816	Are you better now?
nyp.33433076046816	Are you not going to speak first?
nyp.33433076046816	Are you not the detective who has the Corner House mystery in hand?
nyp.33433076046816	Are you quite sure,he asked,"that Mamie is her own child?"
nyp.33433076046816	Are you? nyp.33433076046816 Box na, grand tier?"
nyp.33433076046816	But as to your own trouble, Gordon, dear Gordon, why do n't you confide in me?
nyp.33433076046816	But how did you know that I had it?
nyp.33433076046816	But what can I suggest? nyp.33433076046816 But why must it have been me?"
nyp.33433076046816	But why?
nyp.33433076046816	But will those people be punished eventually?
nyp.33433076046816	But would you mind telling me one thing? nyp.33433076046816 But you are going to get it?"
nyp.33433076046816	Ca n't you guess what that rope is for?
nyp.33433076046816	Can I be of any service to you, Herr Maitrank?
nyp.33433076046816	Can I help you?
nyp.33433076046816	Can we really afford it?
nyp.33433076046816	Can you tell me the name of the paper?
nyp.33433076046816	Come my man, what's your name?
nyp.33433076046816	Come to tell me you have made a discovery, eh?
nyp.33433076046816	Covered all over with orange blotches, eh?
nyp.33433076046816	Did Countess Lalage allude to it this morning?
nyp.33433076046816	Did anybody ever hear so foolish a fuss? nyp.33433076046816 Did n't I say twelve sharp?"
nyp.33433076046816	Did n't you hear something?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you ever publish it?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you find out anything about the past of those fellows?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you know that she was coming here?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you see anything queer last night, Miss?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you see that?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you see that?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you speak to the Spanish woman?
nyp.33433076046816	Do I look very dreadful?
nyp.33433076046816	Do n't you see that as an honest man I am bound to speak out? nyp.33433076046816 Do they contain anything likely to help us, Prout?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you know who I am, Countess Lalage? nyp.33433076046816 Do you mean now?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you mean to say you know anything about it?
nyp.33433076046816	Do you propose to go any further to- day?
nyp.33433076046816	Do you want to bring the police upon me?
nyp.33433076046816	For me?
nyp.33433076046816	Found anything out, mate?
nyp.33433076046816	Got your case complete?
nyp.33433076046816	Had you not best get him into the house?
nyp.33433076046816	Have you made any new discoveries?
nyp.33433076046816	How did you find me out?
nyp.33433076046816	How did you find that out?
nyp.33433076046816	How did you get here?
nyp.33433076046816	How did you know that?
nyp.33433076046816	How do you know that the letter in your possession really was written by the murdered man?
nyp.33433076046816	I have practically effected a loan with the firm of Bernstein of New York — why do you laugh?
nyp.33433076046816	I rather hoped — indeed, I have still hopes — that the culprit"What on earth are you talking about?
nyp.33433076046816	I suppose you can lay hands upon him at any time?
nyp.33433076046816	I wonder who Herr Max Kronin is?
nyp.33433076046816	I'm going to make a late call?
nyp.33433076046816	If I come again can you refresh your mem- ory?
nyp.33433076046816	In other words you propose to drag my unlucky self into house- breaking?
nyp.33433076046816	Is it a very bad puncture?
nyp.33433076046816	Is it the corner house again?
nyp.33433076046816	Is that really a fact?
nyp.33433076046816	Is that the woman by any chance?
nyp.33433076046816	Is there anything wrong?
nyp.33433076046816	Leon —?
nyp.33433076046816	Miss Lawrence?
nyp.33433076046816	Mr. Harcourt, are you quite clear and certain of your facts? nyp.33433076046816 My darling,"he whispered,"what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433076046816	My dearest girl, what is the matter?
nyp.33433076046816	Need you ask?
nyp.33433076046816	Not from those people who advertise, Gordon?
nyp.33433076046816	Nothing the matter, I hope?
nyp.33433076046816	Now what does it mean?
nyp.33433076046816	Now where did they hide themselves?
nyp.33433076046816	Now where does this come in?
nyp.33433076046816	Now, what's the good of that?
nyp.33433076046816	Oh, then you knew that I was in England?
nyp.33433076046816	Perhaps already disposed of elsewhere?
nyp.33433076046816	Poor Leon — is he dead?
nyp.33433076046816	Rather a sensational bit of copy for the papers over the inquest, eh? nyp.33433076046816 She was glad to see me better; she breakfasted with Mamie and myself, and she was altogether charming, but""But?
nyp.33433076046816	So I have been corresponding with you all the time?
nyp.33433076046816	So you know nothing of what has been happening lately?
nyp.33433076046816	So your friend is in London?
nyp.33433076046816	So? nyp.33433076046816 Something in your line?"
nyp.33433076046816	The name of your witness?
nyp.33433076046816	The question PROUT IS PUZZLED 69Of course, you know where the Dutchman is to be found?"
nyp.33433076046816	These banknotes were paid to your firm?
nyp.33433076046816	Was he murdered?
nyp.33433076046816	Was it madness, or what? nyp.33433076046816 Well, what is it you want to- night?"
nyp.33433076046816	Well,Prout said thoughtfully,"seeing that you were traced to Lytton Avenue, I suppose that you found her there?"
nyp.33433076046816	Well?
nyp.33433076046816	What are the boys saying in Piccadilly?
nyp.33433076046816	What are you going to do?
nyp.33433076046816	What better time could we have than to- night?
nyp.33433076046816	What can I do for you? nyp.33433076046816 What can I do for you?"
nyp.33433076046816	What can it all mean?
nyp.33433076046816	What did Mr. Balmayne tell you?
nyp.33433076046816	What do you make of it?
nyp.33433076046816	What do you propose to do, then?
nyp.33433076046816	What do you think of it?
nyp.33433076046816	What do you think of that?
nyp.33433076046816	What does it all mean?
nyp.33433076046816	What does it matter? nyp.33433076046816 What does the game mean?"
nyp.33433076046816	What game were they playing?
nyp.33433076046816	What has happened?
nyp.33433076046816	What interest is there to you?
nyp.33433076046816	What is it now you have got?
nyp.33433076046816	What is it, darling?
nyp.33433076046816	What is it?
nyp.33433076046816	What is the matter, sweetheart?
nyp.33433076046816	What time would that be?
nyp.33433076046816	What's all this mean?
nyp.33433076046816	What's the good of that theatrical nonsense? nyp.33433076046816 What's the theory here, sir?"
nyp.33433076046816	What's to be done now?
nyp.33433076046816	What, the Corner House victim? nyp.33433076046816 Where am I?"
nyp.33433076046816	Where are the diamonds?
nyp.33433076046816	Where did you get that key from?
nyp.33433076046816	Where does anything happen that touches on this case? nyp.33433076046816 Where is my brother?"
nyp.33433076046816	Which means that you are not going to tell me?
nyp.33433076046816	Which part of them?
nyp.33433076046816	Who is to testify to that? nyp.33433076046816 Why did you keep me waiting so long?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why do n't you come and join the force?
nyp.33433076046816	Why do n't you speak; what have you got to say before I put the knife into your heart?
nyp.33433076046816	Why do you foist me off with paste jewels?
nyp.33433076046816	Why do you grovel there? nyp.33433076046816 Why should I be afraid to confess it?
nyp.33433076046816	Why should I deny it?
nyp.33433076046816	Why should I? nyp.33433076046816 Why should I?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why?
nyp.33433076046816	Will you be so good as to tell me how?
nyp.33433076046816	Will you come in? nyp.33433076046816 Will you kindly step out?"
nyp.33433076046816	Would you mind?
nyp.33433076046816	You and I are going there secretly?
nyp.33433076046816	You are going to arrest Countess Lalage?
nyp.33433076046816	You are quite certain of that?
nyp.33433076046816	You are quite well and blooming?
nyp.33433076046816	You are sure she has not been near Lytton Avenue?
nyp.33433076046816	You do n't mean to say that you've got her here, sir?
nyp.33433076046816	You fancied that you saw something besides the light?
nyp.33433076046816	You got my letter, Luigi?
nyp.33433076046816	You hear that?
nyp.33433076046816	You left that lady behind you?
nyp.33433076046816	You remember the case of my wife?
nyp.33433076046816	You saw a light? nyp.33433076046816 You wo n't mind?"
nyp.33433076046816	You would be prepared to swear that in a court of law?
nyp.33433076046816	You would n't force her to confess?
nyp.33433076046816	Your brother's name was Leon Lalage?
nyp.33433076046816	104 THE CORNER HOUSE"When did you see them?"
nyp.33433076046816	150 THE CORNER HOUSE"You poor little soul?"
nyp.33433076046816	194 THE CORNER HOUSE"Paste?"
nyp.33433076046816	210 THE CORNER HOUSE"What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433076046816	23o THE CORNER HOUSE"Why, what's this?"
nyp.33433076046816	283"Why should I have killed him?"
nyp.33433076046816	54 THE CORNER HOUSE"Numbers?"
nyp.33433076046816	56 THE CORNER HOUSE Was it his duty at once to go to the police and tell them all he knew?
nyp.33433076046816	94 THE CORNER HOUSE"Isidore, why did n't you offer to lend her money on her tiara?"
nyp.33433076046816	; Are you nervous to- night?"
nyp.33433076046816	A lantern stood on the flags; the first figure pitched something on the ground that looked like a coil of rope,"What on earth is that?"
nyp.33433076046816	After all, what could the Countess do?
nyp.33433076046816	And I said to him,'Dog, where is Leona Lalage?'
nyp.33433076046816	And where do you think it was?"
nyp.33433076046816	And who are you?"
nyp.33433076046816	And who would look at me when she was about?"
nyp.33433076046816	And why did Hetty Lawrence do this thing?
nyp.33433076046816	Any fresh loan on the banks of the clouds or castles in the air or anything of that kind?
nyp.33433076046816	Are you going to advertise those notes?"
nyp.33433076046816	Are you there?"
nyp.33433076046816	Are you up to it or not?
nyp.33433076046816	At a little before five""How do you fix the time?"
nyp.33433076046816	Bah, why argue over it?"
nyp.33433076046816	Bruce?"
nyp.33433076046816	But has it ever struck you why?"
nyp.33433076046816	But how was that to be done?
nyp.33433076046816	But what had become of the other notes?
nyp.33433076046816	But when?"
nyp.33433076046816	But who would play her a silly prank like that?
nyp.33433076046816	But why do you smell that letter?"
nyp.33433076046816	But why not?
nyp.33433076046816	But you are still of the same opinion — you still value the good name of your dead wife?"
nyp.33433076046816	By the way, I hope your Continental friend is not subject to apoplexy?"
nyp.33433076046816	Ca n't you make any- thing out of it?"
nyp.33433076046816	Can you guess where the house is?"
nyp.33433076046816	Captain Gifford?"
nyp.33433076046816	Charming swindler, where is my money?"
nyp.33433076046816	Did it ever strike you that the child was no relation to Leona Lalage?"
nyp.33433076046816	Did she find out anything about us last night, Gordon?"
nyp.33433076046816	Did we not raise money on the San Salvator property from him also?
nyp.33433076046816	Did you ever notice how the smell of certain flowers recalls vivid recollections?"
nyp.33433076046816	Did you ever see a more marvellous imitation?
nyp.33433076046816	Do n't you think that she is a little like me?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you happen to have any idea who came with those particular notes last night?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you know that the rest of the missing notes have been in my possession?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you know?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you recollect the flower farm near Ajaccio?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you suppose it was chance that you were picked out of all the doctors in Lon- don?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you think I want to keep you near me an hour longer than is necessary?"
nyp.33433076046816	Do you understand me?
nyp.33433076046816	Else why would Countess Lalage have been so far from the centre of the small world called Society?
nyp.33433076046816	Even a rascal like myself can be possessed of a heart, eh?"
nyp.33433076046816	Ever heard of the Countess Lalage?"
nyp.33433076046816	Fool, do you want to stand in the dock?
nyp.33433076046816	For instance""Well?
nyp.33433076046816	Given a man of energy and pluck who has learnt its story, and what is to prevent his taking possession and living here as if the place was his own?
nyp.33433076046816	Got the num- bers?"
nyp.33433076046816	Had not diamonds inspired some of the most awful crimes since crime began?
nyp.33433076046816	Has the blow fallen?"
nyp.33433076046816	Have there been any other signs and manifestations?"
nyp.33433076046816	Have you come for me?"
nyp.33433076046816	Have you found anything?"
nyp.33433076046816	Have you got those notes?"
nyp.33433076046816	Have you killed a burglar or something of that kind?"

nyp.33433076046816	Her own child, Bruce?
nyp.33433076046816	How are you going to prove that I did so?"
nyp.33433076046816	How did you know that?"
nyp.33433076046816	How did you manage it?"
nyp.33433076046816	How do you get over that?"
nyp.33433076046816	How many times did the hall gas go out when you were there?"
nyp.33433076046816	I let them believe it at the risk of my neck, and why?"
nyp.33433076046816	I need not ask you if you are personally acquainted with Maitrank, Isidore?"
nyp.33433076046816	I suppose you can manage to let me down safely?"
nyp.33433076046816	I suppose you can see that?"
nyp.33433076046816	If I could only, have a few minutes'private conversation with you, doctor?"
nyp.33433076046816	If you were asked to swear to her identity you could n't do it I suppose?"
nyp.33433076046816	In one of those windows?
nyp.33433076046816	In the Corner House?
nyp.33433076046816	Is n't that right, sir?"
nyp.33433076046816	Is not that so?"
nyp.33433076046816	Is that really a fact?"
nyp.33433076046816	Is there no spark of manhood in you at all?
nyp.33433076046816	Lady Longmere asked quizzi- cally?
nyp.33433076046816	May I guess that you are going to meet Leona Lalage here to- night?"
nyp.33433076046816	Mr. Charlton, will you trust me for four and twenty hours with this letter?
nyp.33433076046816	Murderer may have washed his hands, which is ex- ceedingly likely, but what did he want blacklead for?"
nyp.33433076046816	My boy, I feel quite certain that this will lead to — what's up?"
nyp.33433076046816	Not that we are in the least likely to find anything there?"
nyp.33433076046816	Now was that some one a man or a woman?"
nyp.33433076046816	Now what are we to do?"
nyp.33433076046816	Now which of you was it who came here to- night with these particular notes in your pocket?"
nyp.33433076046816	Now, did it not strike you as strange that nobody should worry about the other half?"
nyp.33433076046816	Now, will you be so good as to proceed?"
nyp.33433076046816	Now, will you please to examine those notes, doctor, and tell me the numbers?"
nyp.33433076046816	Of course, you got it?"
nyp.33433076046816	Or do you wish to sell me any diamonds?"
nyp.33433076046816	PAUL PROUT 49"What do you think of the letter, sir?"
nyp.33433076046816	See, are those the ones you passed over to me?"
nyp.33433076046816	Shall I go to the police and tell them everything or shall I respect con- fidence?"
nyp.33433076046816	She was cool and collected enough now"What is the meaning of this?"
nyp.33433076046816	Should you like to have a little bit of an adventure this evening?"
nyp.33433076046816	THE NOTES ARE TRACED 65"Is not that your signature endorsed on every one?"
nyp.33433076046816	THE TALK OF THE TOWN 189"Wrong?"
nyp.33433076046816	The Countess owes you money?"
nyp.33433076046816	The great question was: Had she poisoned herself, did she take poison by mis- adventure, or did I kill her?
nyp.33433076046816	The question is, who paid those notes over, who was it who first brought them into the room that night?"
nyp.33433076046816	Then what could pos- sibly have happened?
nyp.33433076046816	Then why the dickens did n't the officer on duty notice it?"
nyp.33433076046816	Then you know why I am here?"
nyp.33433076046816	There is no better friend than I in all the world, and there is no more dangerous enemy, See?"
nyp.33433076046816	Was it not on the same evening as the murder?"
nyp.33433076046816	Was it possible that some crime or tragedy was being enacted behind those grimy walls, all un- known to the police?
nyp.33433076046816	Was she merely frightened, or had she learnt a great deal more than the conspirators imagined?
nyp.33433076046816	Was that white scared visage her own sunny, happy face?
nyp.33433076046816	Was there any real meaning in the chatter, or was it all for the purpose of delay?
nyp.33433076046816	Was this the work of the hidden enemy or another cruel stroke of ill fortune?
nyp.33433076046816	Well, what do you want?"
nyp.33433076046816	Well?"
nyp.33433076046816	What I am uneasy about is this: How did you know I was coming, and why?"
nyp.33433076046816	What can it possibly have to do with the matter?"
nyp.33433076046816	What do I think it was?
nyp.33433076046816	What do you propose to do now?"
nyp.33433076046816	What do you say?"
nyp.33433076046816	What do you say?"
nyp.33433076046816	What do you see?"
nyp.33433076046816	What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433076046816	What is the address?"
nyp.33433076046816	What on earth could have induced him to grow so friendly with that fellow Balmayne all at once?"
nyp.33433076046816	What was 23 THE CORNER HOUSE there in this trivial conversation that held this woman almost breathless?
nyp.33433076046816	What would anybody want gas for at this time of the day?
nyp.33433076046816	What's this about some man picked up in the garden?"
nyp.33433076046816	What's tuberose?"
nyp.33433076046816	When I took this place a year ago so that I could be near — what am I talking about?
nyp.33433076046816	When and where should Leona go now?
nyp.33433076046816	Where did you get those notes?
nyp.33433076046816	Where do you carry your latch- key?"
nyp.33433076046816	Where is Richards?"
nyp.33433076046816	Where shall I drive you?"
nyp.33433076046816	Where shall I have the pleasure of sending it for you?"
nyp.33433076046816	Where was he detained?
nyp.33433076046816	Which pocket did you place them in?"
nyp.33433076046816	Who told you?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why did n't you decline to take them last night?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why did you kill him?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why did you tell me that you had never heard of the tuberose perfume?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why does the lady reside so far from Park Lane or Belgravia or Mayfair?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why have you done this thing?"
nyp.33433076046816	Why?
nyp.33433076046816	Why?
nyp.33433076046816	Why?"
nyp.33433076046816	Will you come and see the Countess now?"
nyp.33433076046816	Will you please go up at once?"
nyp.33433076046816	Wo n't you have your guests in to supper?"
nyp.33433076046816	Woman, what has become of my brother — your husband?"
nyp.33433076046816	Would you like to see it and compare it with my own ordinary handwriting?
nyp.33433076046816	Would you like to take my place, Lady Longmere?"
nyp.33433076046816	You do n't like her, Hetty?"
nyp.33433076046816	You have brought your latchkey as I asked you?"
nyp.33433076046816	You have heard of the tragedy?"
nyp.33433076046816	You hear that knocking at the door?
nyp.33433076046816	You know Lefevre of Lyons?"
nyp.33433076046816	You recollect that?"
nyp.33433076046816	You take out your motor car, so cunningly disguised in blacklead""That is true; but how did you know?"
nyp.33433076046816	q"You are quite sure of my position?"
nyp.33433082170311	Ai n't it, Sir Alaric? nyp.33433082170311 And Mairi, mother?"
nyp.33433082170311	And the promise you made me? ” he asked, in despair. nyp.33433082170311 And what of our bond?"
nyp.33433082170311	And why not? ” he said to himself defiantly. nyp.33433082170311 And will it be true,"said the one,"that Mairi herself is like to take up with the fair stranger?"
nyp.33433082170311	And you?
nyp.33433082170311	And you?
nyp.33433082170311	Any opening?
nyp.33433082170311	Are we not of one people?
nyp.33433082170311	Are you fond of racing?
nyp.33433082170311	At whose pleasure do you stand within my gates?
nyp.33433082170311	Aye, lad,said he,"and you were asking for the lass Mairi, were you?
nyp.33433082170311	But the senorita — your daughter?
nyp.33433082170311	Canst walk?
nyp.33433082170311	D'ye know, dear,he continued,"that it was Waddel who ruined my father- and cost you the few thousands the poor old chap held in trust for you?
nyp.33433082170311	D'you mean to tell me that this will restore her sight?
nyp.33433082170311	Did Mrs. Brandt give you that?
nyp.33433082170311	Did you find it comfortable?
nyp.33433082170311	Do you always sit at the same table?
nyp.33433082170311	Have a cocktail? nyp.33433082170311 How d'ye do, Miss Marchmont?"
nyp.33433082170311	How d'you do: how d'you do, old chap?
nyp.33433082170311	How did he come to get the appointment?
nyp.33433082170311	How did it happen?
nyp.33433082170311	How do, Tommy? nyp.33433082170311 How does it go?
nyp.33433082170311	How does your hat fit?

nyp.33433082170311	I say, Clutterbuck, d'ye know any family'f th'name'f Righinn in these parts? ” RIGHINN 37No, sir,"answered Clutterbuck,"I do n't.
nyp.33433082170311	Is it all like this?
nyp.33433082170311	Is that the one?
nyp.33433082170311	Is the General there? nyp.33433082170311 Is there anything you wish for?"
nyp.33433082170311	It's quite sufficient, is n't it?
nyp.33433082170311	Mairi? nyp.33433082170311 Monsieur called?"
nyp.33433082170311	Monsieur has said that he is not of the Police?
nyp.33433082170311	My life's not so valuable as yours, Peter, is it?
nyp.33433082170311	Nothing else?
nyp.33433082170311	Qu'est- ce que monsieur dit?
nyp.33433082170311	Que pasa adentro?
nyp.33433082170311	See here, Paquita,he ques- tioned roughly,"wilt marry me?
nyp.33433082170311	Shall I proceed?
nyp.33433082170311	Shall I tell — or no?
nyp.33433082170311	So?
nyp.33433082170311	So?
nyp.33433082170311	Soda and angostura, sir?
nyp.33433082170311	Surely it was saved from the wreck when my poor father died?
nyp.33433082170311	The cash?
nyp.33433082170311	Then monsieur is not of the Quai des Orfevres?
nyp.33433082170311	Well?
nyp.33433082170311	Well?
nyp.33433082170311	What can any man do — but try?
nyp.33433082170311	What can any man do — but try?
nyp.33433082170311	What if I tell thy father?
nyp.33433082170311	What on earth are you doing here? nyp.33433082170311 What says monsieur?
nyp.33433082170311	What would you?
nyp.33433082170311	What's doing there? ” he asked thickly, and doubled his fists in case the information should prove valueless. nyp.33433082170311 What's going on inside?"
nyp.33433082170311	What's its name?
nyp.33433082170311	What's she like, Mike?
nyp.33433082170311	What's the matter, child?

nyp.33433082170311	Where did you pick her up?
nyp.33433082170311	Where in the name of all that's wonderful have you dropped from? nyp.33433082170311 Where's Peggy? ” Duncan Darroch asked.
nyp.33433082170311	Where's she gone?
nyp.33433082170311	Where's that dam boy Brandt promised me?
nyp.33433082170311	Whither away, Don Patricio?
nyp.33433082170311	Whither?
nyp.33433082170311	Who've you got there?
nyp.33433082170311	Whose is the place, Pablo?
nyp.33433082170311	Why did you do it, dear?
nyp.33433082170311	Why,inquired Eve thoughtlessly,"do they call it the brand of Cain?"
nyp.33433082170311	Will you come with me?
nyp.33433082170311	Will you walk up to the walls of that fore- damned village, under a white flag, and tell the Intendente that I repeat my offer for the last time?
nyp.33433082170311	Wilt be my wife, or the Englishman's mistress?
nyp.33433082170311	Wo n't you come down to me,he asked tremulously,"if you care to — to look at my poor work?"
nyp.33433082170311	Word of an Englishman?
nyp.33433082170311	You beat Paquita?

nyp.33433082170311	he said thickly,what's this?"
nyp.33433082170311	30 RIGHINN"But your own money?"
nyp.33433082170311	A tardy tremor of disconfidence assailed him, and he asked suddenly: “ Wo n't you- er- join me in- er- cup'f tea?"
nyp.33433082170311	All brisk, eh?"
nyp.33433082170311	Aloud, he merely remarked:"Morning, Brandt: how goes it?"
nyp.33433082170311	And find out what's what?
nyp.33433082170311	And why not I?
nyp.33433082170311	And, if he had his high ambitions, as what boy will not, who was the worse?
nyp.33433082170311	Are there many people about?"
nyp.33433082170311	Brandt?"
nyp.33433082170311	By the way, what did you do with that tablecloth?
nyp.33433082170311	DELILAH 173 Who's that I hear talkin'in the ranks whilst on parade? ” he inquired in a hissing whisper, although the question was quite superfluous.
nyp.33433082170311	Donde vas con vestido Chiné?
nyp.33433082170311	Going out to Kenilworth, hey?"
nyp.33433082170311	Got any ready? — I'm broke to the wide!"

nyp.33433082170311	He was still THE LITTLE SISTER TULA 7"You desire to take service with us?"
nyp.33433082170311	How soon can you be ready?"
nyp.33433082170311	How're things with you?
nyp.33433082170311	I have n't forgotten what you did for me in India, and Will you take me to see her, Duncan?"
nyp.33433082170311	I've heard some queer, queer stories- Ye were already blind, were ye not, Mrs. McGinnis, before those beggars took you there?"
nyp.33433082170311	Is it about such a bagatelle that mademoiselle is needlessly distressing herself?"
nyp.33433082170311	Is there no chance for me, doctor?"
nyp.33433082170311	Iss it Mairi Macdonald you will pe meaning, Chon poy?"

nyp.33433082170311	RIGHINN 43"And what are you doing here?"

nyp.33433082170311	Tarrant was carried into Siloam feet foremost, CEURVAILLANT 105"Tout va bien, m'sieu'?"
nyp.33433082170311	That chap jumps wire, does n't he?"
nyp.33433082170311	The old woman hesitated for a moment, and her son laughed softly:"You will pe hafing a maid now to help in the croft?"
nyp.33433082170311	Then, with the money I have,"—he paused to reflect, his forehead wrinkled —"the money I have — now where the devil's the money I have?
nyp.33433082170311	They were sore at heart, great folk and simple: and who would grudge them their grumble?
nyp.33433082170311	To many her — d'ye take me?"
nyp.33433082170311	To- night?"
nyp.33433082170311	Too many Peepin'Toms about, what?"
nyp.33433082170311	Was there ever a woman in all the world to compare with her? ” He stopped, on his way to the waterside.
nyp.33433082170311	What are we to do with all these people, hey?"
nyp.33433082170311	What manner of people 3 34 RIGHINN were these, who lived so in such surroundings?
nyp.33433082170311	What to you are those strangers who have come among us to our sorrow?
nyp.33433082170311	What'd you do, Clutterbuck, if you were a bit mixed?"
nyp.33433082170311	What?
nyp.33433082170311	Whence, then, had come those siren strains which had recalled him from the clouds]?
nyp.33433082170311	Where is the girl?
nyp.33433082170311	Where's the soap?
nyp.33433082170311	Who are you, anyway?

nyp.33433082170311	Who've you got there, doctor?"
nyp.33433082170311	Why've you been so long coming down for him?
nyp.33433082170311	Why, then, should she ask mercy of me, who owe her so much more than I can hope to repay?
nyp.33433082170311	Would not that stamp her sister to the Iscariot?
nyp.33433082170311	You dash Boma dem bottle gin, sah?"
nyp.33433082170311	or should she rather reward at once the single- minded purpose which had brought him back from the struggle to sue for his prize?
nyp.33433082170311	said Mr. Archibald,"that hits you, does it?
nyp.33433082170311	she mean?
nyp.33433082170311	that the Pagans carried away when they sacked the southern mission?

nyp.33433082170311	“ Did she not hear my signal?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ Did you see that woman kiss her hand to me? ” he demanded in a choking voice.

nyp.33433082170311	“ Er- c'n you- er—'blige me with- er- glass'f water, hey?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ He was brought to Siloam for sanctuary when he was born, and his father would have killed him because of his deformity-you know the cruel custom?
nyp.33433082170311	“ How long have you known him, then?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ How much money did you make at Monte, Baby?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ Is that really his name? ”."
nyp.33433082170311	“ Iss it true, Mairi, mo chridhe,"said he slowly, “ what they will pe telling me apout the fair one?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ Must I sell my very soul to satisfy you?
nyp.33433082170311	“ They've run up a long score this time, have n't they?
nyp.33433082170311	“ What about Ah Chow?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ Who- what- why does he speak French to you?
nyp.33433082170311	“ Why do you call him Courvaillant?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ Yes, darlin'?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ You can paint plenty of pictures after-"“ After what?"
nyp.33433082170311	“ You heard? ”"I heard,"assented the woman he had asked to be his wife, and turned her head to hide the tears that were raining down her cheeks.
nyp.33433075727010	Whose body have you found? ” “ Gabriel Chestermarke's, ” replied Starmidge quietly. nyp.33433075727010 'Cause he'd rung up Chester- marke's Bank — and who should he want at Chester- marke's Bank at six o'clock of a Saturday evening but Mr. Horbury? nyp.33433075727010 - y THE SATURDAY NIGHT STRANGER 81 “ I suppose that conveys nothing to you? ” asked Betty. nyp.33433075727010 - “ Is it — is it Wallie Neale? ” she asked. nyp.33433075727010 - “ Neale, ” said Gabriel, “ have you been out to lunch? nyp.33433075727010 174 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT “ No one else knows, I suppose? ” he remarked, as they went along. nyp.33433075727010 211 that we were coming, ma'am? ” began Starmidge, when he and Easleby had seated themselves near Mrs. Lester. nyp.33433075727010 32 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT “ And — their value? ” added Joseph. nyp.33433075727010 76 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT What's that indicate, young lady and young gentle- man? nyp.33433075727010 A very nice business indeed! ” “ What do you think of it? ” asked the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 Am I changed? ” “ I should say — not in character, ” answered Neale shyly. nyp.33433075727010 Am I right or wrong, Mrs. Carswell? ” “ Right as regards my being engaged by Mr. Hor- bury, ” replied the housekeeper. nyp.33433075727010 An unusually large amount, I think, Mr. Linthwaite? ” “ Just so, sir, ” agreed the manager. nyp.33433075727010 And have n't those shafts got props and stays down the side? ” “ Aye, but they'll be thoroughly rotten by this, ” said Creasy. nyp.33433075727010 And if he was there at all, was it with his consent, or against his will, or — what? nyp.33433075727010 And if it was John Horbury, how, under what circumstances, had he been brought there, why was he being kept there? nyp.33433075727010 And if there really was such a pris- oner in that room, or cell, or whatever the place was, who could it be but John Horbury? nyp.33433075727010 And if you do, why? ” Easleby rose, and Starmidge followed his example. nyp.33433075727010 And in that case — what would happen? ” Starmidge walked slowly on at his companion's side, thinking. nyp.33433075727010 And mixed up in this affair, eh? nyp.33433075727010 And so — I was n't going to say anything to them — not me! ” “ Then there is something you can say? ” said Neale. nyp.33433075727010 And there's another — what's been done — and possibly, what's being done? nyp.33433075727010 And what I shall want to find out from them, in that case, is — what special pur- pose? nyp.33433075727010 And what's Mr. Polke got to suggest? ” Polke, who had been listening silently, turned to the clerk. nyp.33433075727010 And what's the mystery? nyp.33433075727010 And where's my uncle? ” CHAPTER VI ELLERSDEANE HOLLOW Neale dropped into a chair and lifted a despairing countenance to his downright questioner. nyp.33433075727010 And why in such haste? nyp.33433075727010 And you say he'd private rooms some- where? nyp.33433075727010 And — a long way it is, too, down to the bottom of that place! ” “ What's to be done? ” asked Neale. nyp.33433075727010 And — are you Mr. Horbury's nearest relation? ” “ Yes — the very nearest — next- of- kin, ” answered Betty. nyp.33433075727010 Are those jewels really missing? nyp.33433075727010 Are you in at it? nyp.33433075727010 As for ourselves — what had we better do? ” Neale had considered that question as he came along. nyp.33433075727010 Besides, if anybody was with him, and there was an accident, why has n’t the accident been reported? nyp.33433075727010 Betty!—it's more like murder! ” 172 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT “ You think he may have been thrown down there? ” she asked fearfully. nyp.33433075727010 Bless me!—so he's a country banker, is he? nyp.33433075727010 Bless me!—where did you find it? ” “ In the chimney, in Mrs. Carswell's bedroom, ” an- swered Starmidge, with a grimace at Polke. nyp.33433075727010 But of what? nyp.33433075727010 But there, what's the use of speculating? nyp.33433075727010 But this affair — what's to be done? ” “ I understand from Polke that you ’ve already done everything, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 But this call has n’t any- thing to do with that, surely? nyp.33433075727010 But what was it? nyp.33433075727010 But what's Mr. Neale doing here? ”- “ Mr. nyp.33433075727010 But — about the main thing, which, in my opinion, is the where- abouts of John Horbury? nyp.33433075727010 But — that interval during which Mrs. Pratt did n't overhear? nyp.33433075727010 But — whose? ” Starmidge turned again to the clerk. nyp.33433075727010 But, Lord bless you, what's in a name? nyp.33433075727010 But, as I say, I merely suggest that as a rea- sonable theory. ” “ What does your lordship propose to do? ” asked Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 But, of course, it never struck you that a man could go in at the back of a place and come out at the front, did it? nyp.33433075727010 But, of course, we know what's going on — could n't very well not know, now could we, Mr. 122 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT Polke? nyp.33433075727010 By the by — who is she? ” “ Mr. nyp.33433075727010 Can you give them a good description? ” “ Know her as well as I know my own wife — by sight, ” answered Polke. nyp.33433075727010 Carswell? nyp.33433075727010 Case of a strange disappearance — bank manager — isn't it? ” “ It ’s more than that, sir, ” replied Easleby. nyp.33433075727010 Castlemayne? ” repeated the door- keeper. nyp.33433075727010 Chestermarke, you heard that the housekeeper here has disappeared? ” he asked sharply. nyp.33433075727010 Chestermarke, ” he said, “ sorry to trouble you — do you know that the housekeeper, Mrs. Cars- well, has disappeared? nyp.33433075727010 Come to my cart — I ’ve plenty of stuff there. ” “ You ’re sure there's no danger? ” asked Betty. nyp.33433075727010 Come — come!—you do n’t mean to tell me that Hor- bury's been playing games of that sort? nyp.33433075727010 Come, now? ” Mrs. Carswell hesitated. nyp.33433075727010 Could it be that this bread was — that the slice which had just been cut was — the ration given to somebody behind that door? nyp.33433075727010 Daylight is n't com- ing from that quarter! ” “ Where are we to look for it, then? ” asked Neale dismally. nyp.33433075727010 Did n't he leave any word — didn't he say where he was going? ” “ Mr. nyp.33433075727010 Do n't you think that may be it? ” “ I am not familiar with Horbury's domestic ar- rangements, ” said Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 Do you know anything of these jewels, Neale? ” “ Nothing! ” said Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Do you know how many of these old workings there is? ” asked Creasy. nyp.33433075727010 Do you know what I ’m thinking? ” “ No! ” murmured Betty, with a glance of fear and doubt at the black vista which she saw through the gap. nyp.33433075727010 Do you think Hollis went to Scarnham on this business of young Lester's? nyp.33433075727010 Do you think we could examine everything in five hours? nyp.33433075727010 Do you? nyp.33433075727010 Do you? nyp.33433075727010 Does anybody? nyp.33433075727010 Does yon young lady at the Scarnham Arms know aught more about her uncle? nyp.33433075727010 Does your lordship think it possible the Countess mentioned it to her maid? ” The Earl started in his chair. nyp.33433075727010 Eh? ” “ Good notion! ” agreed Polke. nyp.33433075727010 For, whatever it is, it ’s a deep game. ’ ’ “ Nothing has been heard since I saw you last night? ” asked Betty anxiously. nyp.33433075727010 Glad if he had — it's time young Lester paid up. ” “ What did Hollis come for, then, if that's a fair question? ” asked Easleby. nyp.33433075727010 Guy Lester's affair? ” Mrs. Lester looked puzzled. nyp.33433075727010 Had she merely gone to Ecclesborough for the day?—or had she made it her first stage in a further journey? nyp.33433075727010 Have n't you even told the police? ” “ Certainly not! ” answered Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 Have n’t we got a case in point? ” “ There ’s a good deal in what ’s in a name in our case, old man! ” retorted Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 Have the police been told yet? ” “ The police know, ” answered Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Have you any idea where Mr. Horbury is? ” “ None, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Have you — after what we ’ve found out? ” “ What sort of banking business is it the Chester- markes carry on down there at Scarnham! nyp.33433075727010 He could get away from any one of them — what booking- clerk or railway offi- cial would pay any particular attention to him? nyp.33433075727010 He let me know who he was, then, and he offered to do things privately — no need to go to his office, do you see? nyp.33433075727010 He will catch that? nyp.33433075727010 He — ” “ What sort of a club's that, now? ” asked Star- midge. nyp.33433075727010 He'd seen him l ’ ’ “ Will your conviction of that help at all? ” in- quired Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Hollis has- called on you, then? ” he said. nyp.33433075727010 Horbury always carried the more important keys on him, did n't he? ” “ Always, ” responded Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Horbury is n't there, and he's got the keys. ” “ What do you mean — isn’t there? ” asked Neale, mounting the steps. nyp.33433075727010 Horbury may have been murdered in his own house, and buried in his own cellar. ” “ You ’re not joking? ” said Neale. nyp.33433075727010 How do we know that somebody was Horbury? nyp.33433075727010 How do we know that the person with whom Hollis began his conversation was the same person with whom he finished it? nyp.33433075727010 How much is it to be, Miss Fosdyke? nyp.33433075727010 How's this here affair going? nyp.33433075727010 I am sure your lordship's jewels are not there. ” “ But — Horbury? ” exclaimed the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 I believe he's one of these ghouls you read about in the story- books — what ’s he look like? nyp.33433075727010 I had n’t thought of it. ” “ Is the maid a trustworthy woman? ” inquired Polke. nyp.33433075727010 I must ask you to give her access to Mr. Horbury's belongings. ” “ And what do you want, Mr. Polke? ” demanded Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 I suppose that never struck you? nyp.33433075727010 I suppose we can go into the house now? ” Faint spots of colour showed themselves on Ga- briel's cheeks. nyp.33433075727010 I think that's all, Mr. Polke? ” “ All! ” assented Polke. nyp.33433075727010 I was coming away from the Temple when I got the paper and read about this affair. ” “ When did you see him last? ” asked Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 I wonder if the police will find the man who came to the Station Hotel on Saturday? nyp.33433075727010 If he should come in, you ’re equally surprised — see? nyp.33433075727010 If it has- what? ” “ This much, ” answered Easleby. nyp.33433075727010 If your men would look about the country between here and Ellersdeane, now? nyp.33433075727010 Is aught being done? nyp.33433075727010 Is aught being found out? nyp.33433075727010 Is he coming here, Lord Ellersdeane? ” “ Straight here, ” replied the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 Is it known that he came out here Saturday night? ” “ Not definitely, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Is it within our borough boundary, or is it in Ellers- deane parish? nyp.33433075727010 Is something wrong? nyp.33433075727010 Is there any news this morning? ” “ Come up to my sitting- room and let us talk, ” said Betty. nyp.33433075727010 Is there aught behind, like; aught that has n’t come out on the top? ” “ I do n’t know of anything, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 Is there really anything missing from the bank? nyp.33433075727010 It was scarcely likely that Joseph Chestermarke would eat unbuttered bread during his experiments and la- bours — why, then, was the loaf there? nyp.33433075727010 MR. FREDERICK HOLLIS 153 “ There was no business being done with anybody at Scarnham? ” asked Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 May I ask when — and under what circumstances? ” ‘ ‘ About six weeks ago, ” replied the Earl promptly. nyp.33433075727010 May n’t I come in? ” Mrs. Carswell stepped back into the hall, and Betty followed. nyp.33433075727010 Mr. Neale, will you go with Lord Ellersdeane to Superintendent Polke? nyp.33433075727010 No!—what I ’d like to know — what I want to satisfy myself about is — did Mr. Horbury go away at all? nyp.33433075727010 No? nyp.33433075727010 Nothing that those two could do would ever surprise me. ” “ Feeling that, what do you advise in this case? ” asked the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 Now supposing the real person Hollis wanted to see was either Gabriel or Joseph Chestermarke? nyp.33433075727010 Now then, have you come to your senses? ” Neale thought his heart would burst as he waited for the unseen man's voice. nyp.33433075727010 Now what are those two Chestermarkes after? nyp.33433075727010 Now what could_ º- 176 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT~_^ N he be doing on this lonely bit of ground? nyp.33433075727010 Now what should Mr. Horbury be doing down here? nyp.33433075727010 Now you ’re wonder- ing, Mr. Castlemayne, why we come to you? nyp.33433075727010 Now — what's the idea, sir, ” he went on, turning to Neale, “ about Mr. Horbury's disappearance? nyp.33433075727010 Now, as you are a relation, suppose you call on his housekeeper, who was the last person to see him, and get all the information you can out of her? nyp.33433075727010 Now, did n't you say that from all the accounts sup- plied to you, this Mr. John Horbury was an eminently proper sort of person? nyp.33433075727010 Now, exactly when did Mrs. Cars- well go out? nyp.33433075727010 Now, have you heard anything of my brother? ” Polke shook his head solemnly and warningly. nyp.33433075727010 Now, honour bright, which of these men do you take Godwin Markham to be? ” “ Gabriel Chestermarke! ” answered Starmidge promptly. nyp.33433075727010 Now, what did you hear? ” “ What I heard, ” replied the landlady, “ was this here — disjointed, as you would term it. nyp.33433075727010 Now, what'll you do about it? ” The detective carefully folded up the cheque and replaced it in the slit from which he had taken it. nyp.33433075727010 Of course, he's Hollis, I suppose? ” “ Oh, without doubtl ” answered Polke, who caught Neale's question as he came up. nyp.33433075727010 Of course, you ’ve got'em all right? ” Gabriel Chestermarke spread out his hands. nyp.33433075727010 Of what na- ture, for what purpose? nyp.33433075727010 Or are you employed by Mr. Joseph Chestermarke? nyp.33433075727010 Or sup- posing he came in? ” “ Excellent!—in either case, ” replied Easleby. nyp.33433075727010 Poisoned first!—and thrown into that old mine after? nyp.33433075727010 Press and telegraph, eh?—they’re valuable adjuncts. ” “ You think all that would be in the London papers this evening? ” asked Polke. nyp.33433075727010 Queer affair altogether, I call it! ” “ Have you looked round about at all? ” asked Betty. nyp.33433075727010 See, Mr. Neale? ” THE INCOMPLETE CHEQUE 187 “ Why did he fill in the amount? ” remarked Neale, sceptically. nyp.33433075727010 See, Mr. Neale? ” THE INCOMPLETE CHEQUE 187 “ Why did he fill in the amount? ” remarked Neale, sceptically. nyp.33433075727010 See? nyp.33433075727010 She does n’t mind what money she spends on this business, you say? ” “ Not if it costs her her last penny! ” answered Polke. nyp.33433075727010 She's probably the housekeeper who disappeared from the bank, you know. ” “ So I guessed, Mr. Starmidge, but what could I do? ” said Gandam. nyp.33433075727010 Smart work, eh? ” “ Power of the Press — as Parkinson said, ” answered Starmidge, with a laugh. nyp.33433075727010 So it's him, is it? nyp.33433075727010 So- I do n’t know what's become of him. ” “ But — what about Saturday? ” asked Neale. nyp.33433075727010 So- whoever we see there, you want to go guardedly, eh? ” “ I ’ll tell you what, ” said Starmidge, “ I ’ll leave it to you. nyp.33433075727010 Sole pro- prietor? nyp.33433075727010 Suppose we found Markham — or Chestermarke — there? nyp.33433075727010 Supposing one of'em took Hollis off, alone, across that moor you ’ve told me about, and induced him to look into that old lead- mine? nyp.33433075727010 THE MISSING BANK MANAGER 15 “ What's all this? ” he demanded, as he met her within the hall. nyp.33433075727010 THE PARTNERS UNBEND 135 “ I mean to say — how could such a well- known man disappear so completely, without anybody knowing of it? nyp.33433075727010 THE PARTNERS UNBEND 137 “ Your lordship will, of course, follow up this woman? ” said Gabriel, after a brief silence. nyp.33433075727010 That garden- room, Mr. Polke — if you know what I mean? ” THE SEARCH- WARRANT 111 “ Mr. nyp.33433075727010 That had been the most exciting day he had ever known in his life — was what was left of it going to yield anything still more exciting? nyp.33433075727010 That your governor over the chimney- piece there? ” “ Taken a few years ago, ” replied Mr. Stipp care- lessly. nyp.33433075727010 That's a fact! ” “ You mean the lead- mines? ” murmured Neale. nyp.33433075727010 That's all! ” “ And — their precise nature? ” asked Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 That's established, I take it, Starmidge? ” 156 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT “ Seems so, ” agreed the detective. nyp.33433075727010 That's the trio that live in there — a queer lot, are n't they? ” “ It ’s all queer! ” sighed Betty. nyp.33433075727010 That's — but, there, what ’s the good of theorizing? nyp.33433075727010 The thing is — ridiculously easy! ” “ What of the other man? ” asked the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 The thing is — what ’s best to do? nyp.33433075727010 The tinker who camps out there has just seen it — he's been partly down the shaft. ” “ And — did not recognize it? ” asked Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 Then — first? ” “ Here's his desk — and its drawers, ” suggested Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 There's no proof that he went to meet Horbury — none! ” “ Whom might he have gone to meet, then? ” de- manded Betty. nyp.33433075727010 There's nothing to prevent Abraham Moses from styling himself Fitzwilliam Simpkins, if he's always done business as Fitzwilliam Simpkins — see? nyp.33433075727010 There's only one thing against that theory. ” “ What? ” asked Betty. nyp.33433075727010 There's something your lordship might do. ” 54 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT “ Yes? ” asked the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 They're within the law. ” “ What about the Moneylenders ’ Act? ” asked Easleby. nyp.33433075727010 Tonight? nyp.33433075727010 Turning to Hollis, he asked if he could do anything — was his visit about banking business? nyp.33433075727010 Wallie, have n’t you got even a bit of a theory about all this? ” “ Ca n't say that I have l ’ ’ confessed Neale woe- fully. nyp.33433075727010 Want to make some inquiries? ” THE PORTRAIT 251 “ Just a few small inquiries, sir, ” replied Easleby. nyp.33433075727010 Was Joseph Chestermarke never coming? nyp.33433075727010 Was he being kept a prisoner — or was he — hiding? nyp.33433075727010 Was there any reason why anybody should set on him? ” “ There may have been, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 We have an only son — who is an of- ficer in the Army. ” 218 THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT “ Of course you never went there? ” asked Star- midge. nyp.33433075727010 We really do not know to what extent we are — but then, what's the use of talking of that now? nyp.33433075727010 Well, ma'am!—you think you can tell me something about this affair? nyp.33433075727010 Well, my lord, there's only one thing to be done, and as your lordship's in town, let us do it at once. ” “ What? ” asked the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 Well, there's one thing you can be certain about. ”- “ What?

” “ Queer! ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 What use was it, at that juncture, to ask for more particular de- tails of this evident flight? nyp.33433075727010 What was it? nyp.33433075727010 What was there to prevent Horbury, during Satur- day night, from walking across country to Eccles- borough?

nyp.33433075727010 Where is he, then? ” “ But I do n't know, Mr. Neale, ” replied the house- keeper. nyp.33433075727010 Where, now? ” “ Paper Buildings, Temple, ” replied the clerk. nyp.33433075727010 Which is it?

nyp.33433075727010 Why not? nyp.33433075727010 Why — what has Mrs. Lester called you in for? ” Easleby, who had brought another marked news- paper with him, laid it on the manager's desk. nyp.33433075727010 Why? nyp.33433075727010 Will you go round at once to Mr. Polke's? nyp.33433075727010 Yes — he knows the main facts. ” “ And what do you propose to do — first? ” de- manded Betty. nyp.33433075727010 You disclaim all liability in con- nection with my affair? ” “ Most certainly! ” exclaimed Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 You do n’t happen to know him, Mr. Castlemayne? ” The two detectives watched the lessee narrowly as that question was put. nyp.33433075727010 You heard naught last night, I suppose? ” Creasy gave Neale and Betty a look. nyp.33433075727010 You heard what that girl said this morning? nyp.33433075727010 You understand — a first- class man? nyp.33433075727010 You was n't here Saturday night, then?

” asked Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ Here again, what? nyp.33433075727010 “ How did this man get here — at this time of night? ” he asked, as they set off towards the police- station. nyp.33433075727010 “ How did you come to think of such an in- genious notion? ” “ Worked it out, ” answered Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ How did you see it? nyp.33433075727010 “ How do you know that? ” “ The servants told me, just now, ” replied Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ How would I be here Saturday night when I only came yesterday?

” she said, with a sigh. nyp.33433075727010 “ I suppose neither of you ever saw or heard aught of Mr. Horbury on Saturday night — after he'd gone out? ” he inquired. nyp.33433075727010 “ I suppose there's some journalist here in the town who sends news to the London press, is n't there? ” he asked. nyp.33433075727010 “ I suppose we ’d best examine this room in the way he suggested? ” Starmidge betrayed no enthusiasm. nyp.33433075727010 “ I suppose you ’re looking round in search of anything about Mr. Horbury? ” suggested Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ I think the next question is- Has anybody ever heard of him in connection with Mr. Horbury, or the Chestermarkes? ” observed Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ I told him what I did — because I wanted to know what he'd say. ” “ Well — you heard? ” said Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ I understand you saw her — and spoke to her — just before she left, this morning? ” he said hesitat- ingly. nyp.33433075727010 “ I ’m to call you Betty, though you are grown up? ” “ Since it's the only name I possess, I suppose you are, ” she answered. nyp.33433075727010 “ I ’ve got it here — in gold. ” “ But — why? ” asked Betty. nyp.33433075727010 “ If they came together on to this waste, one could n’t fall down a shaft without the other know- ing it, eh? nyp.33433075727010 “ Is Mr. Hollis missing, then? ” asked Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ Is he known? ” “ I know him, ” answered Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ Is that your brother's handwriting? ” “ His handwriting — oh, yes! ” exclaimed Hollis. nyp.33433075727010 “ Is this tin- man to be depended upon? ” he asked, when Neale had finished. nyp.33433075727010 “ May I suggest something, sir? ” he said, turning to Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 “ Neale — have you heard of this transaction? ” “ Never! ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ No one has brought you any news? ” “ No news of any sort, miss, ” replied Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ None whatever! ” “ When did you see him last? ” demanded Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 “ Not in the house? ” “ Mean just what I say, ” replied Shirley. nyp.33433075727010 “ Now, Mr. Pellworthy? ” he said sharply. nyp.33433075727010 “ Now, did you ever hear Mr. Hollis mention the name of Horbury? ” “ Never! ” replied Simmons. nyp.33433075727010 “ Of course, Mr. Polke, we did n’t hear naught — but we saw'em. ” “ What happened after that? ” asked Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ Of course, he identified his brother at once. ” “ When did you see him last, sir? ” asked Star- midge. nyp.33433075727010 “ Only he takes good care never to go off this Hollow to do it. ” “ Have you made any inquiry of him? ” asked Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ Or at his office? ” persisted Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ Or close by? ” Neale indicated certain chimneys rising amongst the trees on the far side of the Hollow. nyp.33433075727010 “ Or found out? nyp.33433075727010 “ Queer, is n’t it, gentlemen? ” he remarked quietly. nyp.33433075727010 “ Seen him?—heard of him? ” he asked. nyp.33433075727010 “ Sha n’t I do instead? ” “ No, sir! ” answered Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ She's not one to let much grass grow under her feet, I think. ” “ Given you the facts, I suppose? ” asked the Earl. nyp.33433075727010 “ She- just went, Mr. Polke. ” “ Had any message — telegram, or aught of that sort — come for her? ” asked Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ Shirley says Mr. Horbury is n't at home? nyp.33433075727010 “ So you ’ve seen about this in the newspapers, sir? ” he went on, turning to Mr. Leonard Hollis. nyp.33433075727010 “ So you're round again after one of your long sleeps, are you? ” he said. nyp.33433075727010 “ Straight on from where I am — all right. ” Then, after a minute, “ At seven- thirty, then? ” he says. nyp.33433075727010 “ Supposing he goes off by train? nyp.33433075727010 “ That is, if it was on his private account. ” “ Do you happen to know who kept his private ac- count? ” inquired Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ That they would n’t even let her enter the house? ” “ No, I did n't know, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ That's it, eh? nyp.33433075727010 “ That's — somewhat queer, is n't it? ” “ We understand Mrs. Carswell has left the house — and the town, ” replied Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 “ The big question, my lad, ” he said, “ is — what to do? nyp.33433075727010 “ The ten thou- sand pounds had been paid to Mr. Frederick Hollis for a special purpose. ” “ But — by whom? ” asked Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ Then the next question is- Where's he got to? ” said Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ There you are — you see what I mean? ” Neale looked out. nyp.33433075727010 “ There's no doubt he came down here to see one or other of them — Horbury, most likely. ” “ And who's to tell us anything? ” asked Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ There's nothing wrong? ” he asked suddenly. nyp.33433075727010 “ They ’ll have to let the exact details be known, wo n’t they? ’ ’ “ Depends — on them, ” replied Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ This body been recovered? ” he asked quietly. nyp.33433075727010 “ To begin with, who is Mr. Hollis? ” “ Mr. nyp.33433075727010 “ Wallie! ” she said, “ do you think that can pos- sibly be — Uncle John? ” “ No ” answered Neale sharply, “ I do n't! nyp.33433075727010 “ Was it towards the station? ” “ He went out down the garden and through the orchard, ” replied the housekeeper. nyp.33433075727010 “ We met him as we were coming off the moor and I told him. ” “ Show any surprise? ” asked the detective. nyp.33433075727010 “ We ’re forgetting the suggestion THE MODERN YOUNG WOMAN 43 made just before this lady — Miss Fosdyke, I think? — entered. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well — and what then? ” he demanded. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well — what? ” “ I happened to catch sight of him this evening, ” replied Gandam. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well? ” demanded Betty. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well? ” demanded the senior partner. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well? ” demanded the senior partner. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well? ” he asked. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well? ” said Gabriel. nyp.33433075727010 “ Well? ” said Polke. nyp.33433075727010 “ Were none of your people about here on Satur- day night? ” he asked. nyp.33433075727010 “ What are you wondering about? ” asked Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ What can I do for you now? nyp.33433075727010 “ What do you know about this? nyp.33433075727010 “ What do you want? ” Pellworthy, an elderly man, looked at Gabriel with as much disapproval as Gabriel had bestowed on him. nyp.33433075727010 “ What is he after now? ” Starmidge came out of the door of the bank- house alone. nyp.33433075727010 “ What is it, Wallie? nyp.33433075727010 “ What is it? ” “ If your lordship would just make a call on the two Mr. Chestermarkes, ” suggested Starmidge. nyp.33433075727010 “ What man? ” “ We do n't know, ” answered Neale. nyp.33433075727010 “ What of him?

nyp.33433074873369	I presume,he observed, when they were seated in the railway carriage,"you will vouchsafe no light on your solution of the problem?"
nyp.33433074873369	I probably knew him better than did most people in Maitland Port, and I ca n't say that I really knew him. ” “ He struck most people as odd? nyp.33433074873369 I'll give the invention to my country. ” “ You're joking?"

nyp.33433074873369	It might help to determine when the print came there? ” suggested Glory. nyp.33433074873369 It was blackmail?"
nyp.33433074873369	It's a funny world, is n't it, Laura? ” Her tone was philosophical. nyp.33433074873369 Just guess what's happened?"
nyp.33433074873369	Laura Winright, do you believe in ghosts? ”No.
nyp.33433074873369	Laura Winright, was it true? ”. nyp.33433074873369 Laura, are you mad? ” Her voice rang clear in the awe- struck silence.

nyp.33433074873369	Miss Winright, you mean? ” “ I said, Laura. ” Having admitted the truth, Ross did not seek to further temporize. nyp.33433074873369 Mr. Burnville, listen, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074873369	Mr. Harry Villard, I believe? ” questioned Glory. nyp.33433074873369 Mr. Winright said,'A telegram?
nyp.33433074873369	Mr. Winright will be buried at Detroit, beside his wife, I suppose? ” It was Annisford's turn to stare into the fire. nyp.33433074873369 Murder? ” Burnville rose.
nyp.33433074873369	Name? ” “ Nick Ross. ” “ Nicholas?
nyp.33433074873369	Name? ” “ Nick Ross. ” “ Nicholas?
nyp.33433074873369	Nearly twenty- three. ”And you — you are twenty? ” She mused.
nyp.33433074873369	Nick Ross and the car are both demolished. ” “ Nick Ross?
nyp.33433074873369	No, miss. ”Perhaps,"she urged, insinuatingly, “ a Mrs. Win- right- a Mrs. Lucile Winright?"
nyp.33433074873369	Nurse,she asked,"how long is it?"
nyp.33433074873369	Oh, tell me, Tom, where can I find Mr. Burnville?
nyp.33433074873369	On what did your mother live then? ” questioned Glory. nyp.33433074873369 Or at any time? ” Mrs. Villard hesitated.
nyp.33433074873369	Parents?
nyp.33433074873369	Perhaps it's best — but you are wonderful. ” “ Am I?
nyp.33433074873369	Quite often? ”Very often, which, sir, I may tell ye"“ Since when? ”"Since- oh, nigh a year.

nyp.33433074873369	So Pat Burnville was right?
nyp.33433074873369	Surely there is some one else who can help us? ” Eagerly Laura watched the kindly face. nyp.33433074873369 Surely? ” agreed Laura.
nyp.33433074873369	Thad Smith? ” he muttered. nyp.33433074873369 That box contains a record?"
nyp.33433074873369	That man?
nyp.33433074873369	That was after I went away? nyp.33433074873369 That's correct, is n't it, Laura? ” Laura nodded weakly.
nyp.33433074873369	The baby? ” put in eager Laura. nyp.33433074873369 Then this Miss Adair- does not signify? ”"No."
nyp.33433074873369	Then you took the car out and met the 8.05 train?
nyp.33433074873369	Then? ” she repeated; but the word held a question. nyp.33433074873369 There was such a young man? ” Burnville shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433074873369	This chauffeur dabbles in inventions, Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	This is quite a catechism, is n't it?.
nyp.33433074873369	This recording telephone? ” pursued Burnville. nyp.33433074873369 We are friends, anyway?"
nyp.33433074873369	We will go straight to the library?
nyp.33433074873369	Well? ” Burnville's tone was peremptory. nyp.33433074873369 Well? ” asked Glory.

nyp.33433074873369	What do you mean? nyp.33433074873369 What does that mean? ” wondered Laura.
nyp.33433074873369	What good?
nyp.33433074873369	What happened the baby? ”I do n't know."
nyp.33433074873369	What has happened? nyp.33433074873369 What is it? ” She commenced horribly to understand.
nyp.33433074873369	What is it? ”It's the invention that's going to make my fortune,"said Nick Ross, serenely.
nyp.33433074873369	What is it?
nyp.33433074873369	What is this?
nyp.33433074873369	What pin- pricks? ” Glory Adair handed her the telegram. nyp.33433074873369 What was that? ” Chalmers glanced suspiciously about him.
nyp.33433074873369	What's the matter? ” he demanded. nyp.33433074873369 What? ” She felt herself flushing.
nyp.33433074873369	When will Mr. Burnville be in? ” Laura's tone was anxious. nyp.33433074873369 When you came just now, George, to say good- bye, I asked myself,'Do I care for him?'
nyp.33433074873369	Where did that man go?' nyp.33433074873369 Where is Mr. Annisford? ” she found herself asking the nurse.
nyp.33433074873369	Who? nyp.33433074873369 Who? ”"Your father, Laura Winright. ” An instant the girl stood rooted to the spot in horror.
nyp.33433074873369	Why did n't you tell us at once? ”. nyp.33433074873369 Why did you interrupt us? ” Mamma Judy stamped defiantly downstairs.
nyp.33433074873369	Why did you not tell us all this before, Mr. Burn- ville?
nyp.33433074873369	Why did you stop? ” CHAPTER XIII THE END OF THE RIDE Laura cried out in mortal terror; but no answer rose from the darkness. nyp.33433074873369 Why is n't the car here? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433074873369	Why? ” repeated Laura. nyp.33433074873369 Winright told you so, did n't he? ” “ He never told me much of anything."
nyp.33433074873369	Would n't there be previous symptoms? nyp.33433074873369 Yet you said heart failure? ” Doctor Chalmers silently scratched his head.
nyp.33433074873369	Yet you say he was young? ”I judge by the way he walked. ” Still Burnville tapped with his pencil.
nyp.33433074873369	You are sure?
nyp.33433074873369	You believe Adam Winright was killed?
nyp.33433074873369	You doubt it? ”I suppose it's a logical inference that they are one and the same.
nyp.33433074873369	You got word to Tom?
nyp.33433074873369	You have invented this?
nyp.33433074873369	You mean you got trace of him?
nyp.33433074873369	You mean, that was the weapon? ” Surprised him- self, he was yet more bewildered that Laura Winright showed no surprise whatever. nyp.33433074873369 You recollect the case, Mrs. Villard? ” Glory's tone was actually eager.
nyp.33433074873369	You said you'd found him twice?
nyp.33433074873369	You say your real name is Andrew Webster?
nyp.33433074873369	You spend very little time in Maitland Port?
nyp.33433074873369	You suspect him? ”. nyp.33433074873369 You understand, Miss Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	You understand, Miss Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	You'd catch him to what end? ” she argued. nyp.33433074873369 You'll get a warrant for him?"
nyp.33433074873369	You're all safe? ” he questioned, anxiously. nyp.33433074873369 You've always been- you'll always be my very best friend?
nyp.33433074873369	Your sister's nerves?
nyp.33433074873369	'Is there anything the matter with me?'

nyp.33433074873369	Adam Winright was ill — so ill that he felt alarmed- he wished to see her before he died- would she come home by the next boat?
nyp.33433074873369	After all, what have you got that ai nt mine just as much as its yours?
nyp.33433074873369	After that you lived in the same place many years?
nyp.33433074873369	Afterward?
nyp.33433074873369	Am I wrong about this thing?
nyp.33433074873369	And Lucile was your mother's name? ” Laura's lips twitched.
nyp.33433074873369	And sharp? ” · Burnville pondered.
nyp.33433074873369	And that dressing gown was once red. ” “ But his hands? ” Glory consulted her wrist- watch.
nyp.33433074873369	And the barest spot of all- there-"“ Opposite the shelves? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	And then- then-"“ Then? ” Laura's tone was expectant.
nyp.33433074873369	And then:"What are you staring at?"
nyp.33433074873369	And then? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	And what, after all, is a woman?
nyp.33433074873369	And when I do it, I'll"Make a fortune? ” He laughed.
nyp.33433074873369	And you did kiss me?
nyp.33433074873369	And your mother? ” Laura did not answer.
nyp.33433074873369	And — who is the Man in Grey? ” Burnville stared; then laughed shortly.
nyp.33433074873369	And, what is there to learn?
nyp.33433074873369	Are any two people cast in identical mould?
nyp.33433074873369	Are you really so superstitious as to believe in palmistry? ”"I am not superstitious.
nyp.33433074873369	As for the car, chick- oh, I suppose it's one of your father's surprises- eh?
nyp.33433074873369	Both Maitland Port folks? ” Tom assented.
nyp.33433074873369	Burn- ville was working in her interest — did she not owe it to him to at once disclose what she had learned?
nyp.33433074873369	Burnville, I'm sure? ” she purred.
nyp.33433074873369	Burnville?"
nyp.33433074873369	But are we, George? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	But if there's nae ghost i ’ the hoose, wha tookit the will?
nyp.33433074873369	But there is a woman can tell you the whole story of Lucile Meloche from the cradle to"“ The grave? ” Laura flashed.
nyp.33433074873369	But- who knows? ” She gave a queer little shrug of her shoulder.
nyp.33433074873369	By the way'-as, glancing through the lobby window, he noticed the car—"any charioteer? ” “ Yes — drat his hide! ” Tom Winright warmed.
nyp.33433074873369	Ca n't you do that?
nyp.33433074873369	Can you bring him over?
nyp.33433074873369	Can you have the car ready in ten minutes? ” Had he heard?
nyp.33433074873369	Can you have the car ready in ten minutes? ” Had he heard?
nyp.33433074873369	Can you stand it?
nyp.33433074873369	Can you stand it?
nyp.33433074873369	Can you suc- ceed, you who are so distant from these things, when James Villard, who was close to all the facts, failed? ” Glory intervened.
nyp.33433074873369	Can · you hear me?"
nyp.33433074873369	Chauffeur?"
nyp.33433074873369	Could n't you get me a better one? ”"Surely you can tell me more!"
nyp.33433074873369	Could you live, dear, if you were bereft of everything?"
nyp.33433074873369	Did George tell you it? ” Tom slowly repeated:"Chalmers, this is · Adam Winright.
nyp.33433074873369	Did he mean to stop anyway, regardless?
nyp.33433074873369	Did he tell you any- thing?
nyp.33433074873369	Did her father, she mused, have an THE MAN IN GREY 47 evening visitor who came often and stayed late?
nyp.33433074873369	Did she really understand it all?
nyp.33433074873369	Did you ever hear Turkey Bird tell about the ghost in the old mill back of Dungannon?
nyp.33433074873369	Did you find a nickel? ”"Better than that."
nyp.33433074873369	Did you ram any U- boats on the trip across? ”"N- no."
nyp.33433074873369	Did you reach him in time?"
nyp.33433074873369	Did your hand — and your father's — tell me the truth?
nyp.33433074873369	Didna Judith MacTurk tell ye, there was the ghost again?
nyp.33433074873369	Didna the very door open beside ye-?"
nyp.33433074873369	Didna ye hear a draggin'an'crawlin'in the room juist ben?
nyp.33433074873369	Didna ye hear steps, coomin'doon the basement stair?
nyp.33433074873369	Do n't you hear me?
nyp.33433074873369	Do n't you, Mr. Burnville? ” Glory Adair was charming in white.
nyp.33433074873369	Do you know what I intend to do about what you just told me? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Does n't it surprise you that he neglected to arrange these letters in their proper order? ” “ Not at all, ” flashed Burnville.
nyp.33433074873369	Eh, pretty? ” He chucked Laura familiarly under the chin.
nyp.33433074873369	Eh? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Eh?"
nyp.33433074873369	Entirely wrong? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Evi- dently a final settlement, Laura, dear?
nyp.33433074873369	Gone on a case, eh? ” There was a moment of silence.
nyp.33433074873369	Had she mistaken the time?
nyp.33433074873369	Have you ever really thought of it, George? ”"I-?"
nyp.33433074873369	Have you ever really thought of it, George? ”"I-?"
nyp.33433074873369	Have you keys, Tom?"
nyp.33433074873369	He draws only a few dollars for him- self. ” “ There are no more entries re — re Meloche? ” “ None,"sighed Glory.
nyp.33433074873369	He had led her to send away the one man who loved her — why?
nyp.33433074873369	He intended to make his fortune but-"“ He failed?"
nyp.33433074873369	He looked rather- well, rather taggy. ”"And had a black beard? ”"I think it was grey."
nyp.33433074873369	He might tell you something if he wished. ”"And who is he? ” Laura's tone was eager.
nyp.33433074873369	He showed no signs of illness? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	He was not shaken by that; would he be entirely unnerved by threats?"
nyp.33433074873369	He's better, surely?
nyp.33433074873369	He's here, is n't he?
nyp.33433074873369	Heft the book, will you? ” Laura did so.
nyp.33433074873369	Her father?
nyp.33433074873369	He”--the doctor hesitated—"he'd be worth all of fifty thousand, I should say?
nyp.33433074873369	His hand- print tells me that. ”"And what else did you find? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433074873369	How d'you get here? ” “ No, no,"she cried.
nyp.33433074873369	How did you get here? ”"Do n't ask questions.
nyp.33433074873369	How is he?
nyp.33433074873369	How old is Tom?"
nyp.33433074873369	How, anyway, could they persuade the woman to tell?
nyp.33433074873369	How, then, could she know him as well as the daughter who had known him nearly twenty years?
nyp.33433074873369	How? ”"Vanished into the earth. ” The nurse smiled queerly.
nyp.33433074873369	I asked Dad once, and he said Harold died a young man. ”"Was there any hard feeling between him and your father?
nyp.33433074873369	I did not see that brother, though, till long afterward. ” 226 THE TWENTY- FIRST BURR “ You did see my father? ” The woman nodded.
nyp.33433074873369	I examined him, and do you know, I found not the slightest trace of heart trouble, or anything else?
nyp.33433074873369	I handed him the telegram. ” “ There was no one else in the room?"
nyp.33433074873369	I must find him. ”"Surely there is some one, Mrs. Villard? ” She re- peated Glory's urgings.
nyp.33433074873369	I never knew the least thing about her till you found this photograph. ”"Then she is not your mother? ” Laura made no answer.
nyp.33433074873369	I'd like you to come down right after dinner-""Why not now? ” Burnville's manner was brisk.
nyp.33433074873369	I've every prominent man on my list-""Including dad? ”"Yes, dear.
nyp.33433074873369	I've just time to catch the train. ”"Where are you going? ” demanded Laura.
nyp.33433074873369	I've seen every country constable for miles around. ”"In short, the dragnet? ” put in Miss Adair.
nyp.33433074873369	If Glory were wrong about the divorce, might not Glory also have been wrong in her interpretation of Adam Winright's real nature?
nyp.33433074873369	If he had n't, the money would go half to Laura and half to Tom. ”"But his brother, Harold? ” Annisford gazed oddly at the physician.
nyp.33433074873369	If you wanted anything looked up, why not ask one of the office girls —"“ And imperil her life?"
nyp.33433074873369	Is he alive? ” She was fairly surprised at her own acumen in putting the ques- tion thus.
nyp.33433074873369	Is he- is he the man in grey?"
nyp.33433074873369	Is it a conundrum? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Is it a go?
nyp.33433074873369	Is it possible? ”"It most emphatically is not possible for that chauffeur ever to be on time, or to be on hand at all when he's wanted.
nyp.33433074873369	Is it punish- ment you fear? ” She dropped her hands.
nyp.33433074873369	Is n't it better, now? ” Laura's resolution met the challenge.
nyp.33433074873369	Is n't that so? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Is n't the lake superbly smooth, now that the fog has lifted?
nyp.33433074873369	Is tha also new? ” Another nod from Laura.
nyp.33433074873369	Is this new since you went to England Miss Winright?"
nyp.33433074873369	Is this your first visit to Grimsby?"
nyp.33433074873369	It was horrible. ”"You would wait twenty- one years?".
nyp.33433074873369	It was when that hound, Winright, threw her off like a worn- out coat... why?
nyp.33433074873369	It's glorious if it's true. ”"Would they never come?"
nyp.33433074873369	Just come in, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074873369	Just for a bit of a temper, and what's that? ” He softened.
nyp.33433074873369	Just take a look, will you?"
nyp.33433074873369	Laura”—she turned to her companion—"it would n't do for us to go away without telling Mrs. Villard, would it?
nyp.33433074873369	Let's see — you ca n't get in till seven to- morrow morning?
nyp.33433074873369	Love letters? ” The writing was faint, and here and there illegible.
nyp.33433074873369	May I help you with a tip?
nyp.33433074873369	Might he be, after all, merely the fortune- hunter he had pictured himself?
nyp.33433074873369	Might it not be better, even now, to let her keep her secret?
nyp.33433074873369	Might there be a record elsewhere?
nyp.33433074873369	Mine? ” She extended it to him, a pretty hand, very slim, and almost pallidly white.
nyp.33433074873369	Miss Winright, if you feel equal to the strain, will you kindly tell me? ” He bowed.
nyp.33433074873369	More than that, if you wish to see the man in grey alive — to hear his story from his own lips- you must come at once. ”"Where are you?"
nyp.33433074873369	More than that, they hear every sound. ” “ Can you do it?"
nyp.33433074873369	Most people are that, are n't they, Miss Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	Mr. Burnville is quite mired? ” she added.
nyp.33433074873369	Mr. Winright used it to call me; and it helped my experiments. ”"Is there a record in the other box- the one in the library? ” Nick Ross started.
nyp.33433074873369	Never saw him. ” “ You knew him?"
nyp.33433074873369	Nick Ross, standing with his hand on the open door, spoke: “ Is n't it chilly enough for a coat? ” She gave him a bright smile.
nyp.33433074873369	Nick Ross?"
nyp.33433074873369	Nick Ross?"
nyp.33433074873369	No Centra to answer, eh?
nyp.33433074873369	Nothing very devilish about that, was there? ” Laura dodged the friendly smile he flung at her.
nyp.33433074873369	Nothing wicked in that, is there?"
nyp.33433074873369	Now, as to the young man? ” Burnville smiled.
nyp.33433074873369	Now, what do you know of Harold Winright and his connections?"
nyp.33433074873369	Occasional light attacks? ” His manner was indifferent.
nyp.33433074873369	Oh! ”"What is it, Miss Sifton? ” Laura, herself frightened, tried to quiet her.
nyp.33433074873369	Oh, thirty thousand, anyway?"
nyp.33433074873369	Only she asked herself: “ Did Mrs. James Villard ever meet Lucile Meloche? ” “ There's a pretty cottage!"
nyp.33433074873369	Only — why? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Or Andrew Webster?
nyp.33433074873369	Or a rabbit?''
nyp.33433074873369	Or would he stupidly insist on her THE RIDE IN THE STORM 129 going over the entire message?
nyp.33433074873369	Or your mother? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Perhaps the blank was smeared before the message was written?
nyp.33433074873369	Poor girl! ”"You help her?"
nyp.33433074873369	Poor- friend- less — alone — and he-""He was wealthy? ” The witness shook her head.
nyp.33433074873369	She forgave him- almost--for was he not her Predestined Future?
nyp.33433074873369	She was horribly fond of spectres, was n't she?".
nyp.33433074873369	So I'm not enough attraction to tug you away from your Huron sunsets, youngster?-it takes Big Brother to do that?
nyp.33433074873369	Stay over till to- morrow, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074873369	Such a man would not leave letters lying loose in a drawer"“ Under stress of excitement?"
nyp.33433074873369	THE HOUSE OF GHOSTS- 25 “ He must have known he was dying? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074873369	THE INTERRUPTED SEARCH 151 “ What is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433074873369	Tell me, is n't that all true? ” From the patient's hand she lifted her eager, confident gaze to the patient's face.
nyp.33433074873369	Thad Smith? ” “ Where's Mi.
nyp.33433074873369	That hand- print was made by a man who held the telegram after the envelope was opened?"
nyp.33433074873369	That is all, Mr. Airth?
nyp.33433074873369	That signifies? ”"That the enquiry is closed. ” Burnville laughed, musically.
nyp.33433074873369	That's all I know. ”"Where was this? ”"In New York.
nyp.33433074873369	The last word's spoke, is it?
nyp.33433074873369	The mother's name we do n't know; Lucile, per- haps Lucile Winright- who can tell?
nyp.33433074873369	The officer? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433074873369	The past, was n't it?
nyp.33433074873369	The woman divorced?"
nyp.33433074873369	The young man Nick Ross saw leaving Castle Sunset the night Mr. Winright died?"
nyp.33433074873369	Then he sent me up here. ” “ As chauffeur? ”"When he needed one.
nyp.33433074873369	Then, with a touch of hauteur: “ Who said you could go? ”""The car's a hopeless wreck.
nyp.33433074873369	There was no other difficulty; the time of course would come when she would marry him gladly, for was he not the one man in the world for her?
nyp.33433074873369	There's lots more cars in the world, you're going to say?
nyp.33433074873369	There's not a trace more of X- is there? ” She ran her finger care- fully through the concluding entries.
nyp.33433074873369	This is so important to us to me, and to Brother Tom. ”"So you have a brother- Tom- Tom Winright? ” the woman whispered.
nyp.33433074873369	This is the girl of the picture- L. M.?
nyp.33433074873369	This very thought had formed in her own mind: “ What good?
nyp.33433074873369	To a murderer?".
nyp.33433074873369	To cut it short — to keep from imposing too much- did you know my father, Adam Winright? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Tom, is it? ” in response to Laura's question.
nyp.33433074873369	Traming the U. ALI “ So this is all supposition, based upon a belated tele- gram and an accidental hand- print? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	Villard told you that? ” His tones now were smooth as oil.
nyp.33433074873369	Was he glad to have her go?
nyp.33433074873369	Was it indeed for her father's sake that all this past must be laid bare?
nyp.33433074873369	Was it through pity for Lucile Meloche, or through pity for Laura Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	Was she playing fair with Burnville?
nyp.33433074873369	Was she, in disregarding Burnville, playing fair with herself?
nyp.33433074873369	Was that why, through so many years, he had so often shut himself apart in the library and at times forbidden his own children to interrupt him there?
nyp.33433074873369	What can you do, now, my friends — you, who have, to begin with, only the woman's name?"
nyp.33433074873369	What could she do?
nyp.33433074873369	What d'you want?"
nyp.33433074873369	What did you find? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	What did you say was your father's name, Miss Winright?"
nyp.33433074873369	What do those worn spots tell you?
nyp.33433074873369	What do you want, anyway? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	What does it?
nyp.33433074873369	What does the hand- print tell you? ” “ That is part of my case.
nyp.33433074873369	What good will it do you?
nyp.33433074873369	What good will it do? ” She stifled the impulsive outcry of her soul.
nyp.33433074873369	What had the man in grey to tell?
nyp.33433074873369	What message might her father not have left in those tragic ten minutes when he knew he was dying; the message he had wished to give her?
nyp.33433074873369	What was it Mrs. Villard had concealed from them?
nyp.33433074873369	What was she to do?
nyp.33433074873369	What's next, Harry? ” The next was a brief slip of paper, with the significant words: Tuesday night- as usual.
nyp.33433074873369	When is he going to take me for that promised yacht ride? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	When you came home that night, Miss Win- right"he turned to Laura—“were these windows open? ”"No."
nyp.33433074873369	Where are you going? ” Tom turned, magnificently deliberate.
nyp.33433074873369	Where are you? ” The farmer waved his lantern, trying to light the uncertain way.
nyp.33433074873369	Where is Miss Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	Where is he? ” She pelted the bewildered farmer with incoherent ques- tions.
nyp.33433074873369	Where is he?"
nyp.33433074873369	Where is that Ghost Book?
nyp.33433074873369	Where's that pencil? ” He found a stub, and, gripping it, cursed savagely the paper that slipped from his unpracticed fingers.
nyp.33433074873369	Who is speaking? ” She heard only a strange gabble- a man's voice, but no distinguishable words.
nyp.33433074873369	Who was he? ” “ There was no one with him, dear. ” Laura made no immediate answer.
nyp.33433074873369	Who would be interested in this or any other of your father's tele- grams? ” “ No one,"answered Laura.
nyp.33433074873369	Who?
nyp.33433074873369	Why do I talk like this?
nyp.33433074873369	Why do n't you give a fellow a chance? ” Annisford, with a grin, intervened.

nyp.33433074873369	Why do n't you tell her the truth, that you're ashamed- ashamed to admit you ever knew Lucile Meloche?"
nyp.33433074873369	Why had n't she thought?
nyp.33433074873369	Why had she concealed it?
nyp.33433074873369	Why should I sully his memory?"

nyp.33433074873369	Why?"
nyp.33433074873369	Why?"
nyp.33433074873369	Will you own up, too?"
nyp.33433074873369	Will you stop that machine in the corner?
nyp.33433074873369	Winright?"
nyp.33433074873369	Winright?"
nyp.33433074873369	Wo n't you help me find it?"
nyp.33433074873369	Would it make her any happier to know that, though she forgave, the poisoned burr did not?"
nyp.33433074873369	Would"hey think to telephone a doctor?
nyp.33433074873369	Yes, and vain- is not vengeance in the hands of God? ” The smile vanished as quickly as it had come.
nyp.33433074873369	Yet Lucile Meloche, thirty years ago, was in New York? ”"Her father was unfortunate.
nyp.33433074873369	Yet all the while the brown eyes seemed to demand:"What brings you here so early?"
nyp.33433074873369	Yet there was always that in- definable hint of some shadow in connection with him some threat- menace you understand, Burnville?
nyp.33433074873369	Yet, if he wished to conceal his illness, why did he seek an examination at all? ” He puzzled.
nyp.33433074873369	You are disappointed, Laura Winright? ” Laura was disappointed.
nyp.33433074873369	You are going? ” She flushed, guiltily, for through her whole being had surged relief.
nyp.33433074873369	You follow me, Miss Winright? ” “ Quite, Mr. Airth. ” Her tone was unemotional.
nyp.33433074873369	You know Fan Sifton, the unclaimed treasure with the wheezy old setter?
nyp.33433074873369	You mean- poisoned? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	You remember, Laura, it was his favourite walk?"
nyp.33433074873369	You thought we were queer, queer people, did n't you? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	You were not born in Maitland Port, but a long distance away — perhaps in another coun- try?
nyp.33433074873369	You'll kill yourself. ”"But how am I to know for certain that it is poisoned?
nyp.33433074873369	You'll never catch that man, Mr. Burnville. ”"Why? ”"Because you're not looking for him. ” “ No? ”"No.
nyp.33433074873369	You'll never catch that man, Mr. Burnville. ”"Why? ”"Because you're not looking for him. ” “ No? ”"No.
nyp.33433074873369	You're just looking for his alias. ”"Oh?"

nyp.33433074873369	“ And what is the meaning, Glory, of all this running about on your part? ” Glory smiled.
nyp.33433074873369	“ And where? ”"Where, I do n't know.
nyp.33433074873369	“ And why are you so anxious to learn these things? ” Mrs. Villard's tone was pleasantly regretful.
nyp.33433074873369	“ And you are willing? ” Daringly he drew nearer.
nyp.33433074873369	“ And — he told you —? ” She remembered herself.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Anyone else in the household? ”"Since Laura's illness, we've had a graduate nurse in attendance- a Miss Adair."

nyp.33433074873369	“ Dear girl, ” she urged,"can not you let the past alone?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Delirious? ” he whispered.

nyp.33433074873369	“ Did you see any other suspicious person? ” Ross meditated.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Did you see the grey- bearded man — the ghost — the day Mr. Winright died? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Did your father ever tell you who she was?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Do you remember that night I caught her wandering about the house in the dark?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Does it record the message perfectly? ”"I would n't say that. ” Laura Winright smiled.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Does the name suggest anything? ” But both brother and sister looked I THE LETTERS IN WINRIGHT'S DESK 83 blank.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Does this system connect with the basement? ”"No.
nyp.33433074873369	“ D’you know her friends?'
nyp.33433074873369	“ Ever with you in Mr. Winright's time? ”"No."
nyp.33433074873369	“ Have we a right to read them, Glory? ” Glory studied the faded paper.
nyp.33433074873369	“ He poisoned himself? ”"Querari, ” and the woman almost smiled.
nyp.33433074873369	“ He told us a little,"began Glory, “ but-"“ The child? ”"No.
nyp.33433074873369	“ How long employed here?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ I am surprised, Miss Adair, that my rather meagre fame has penetrated to a spot so remote- if I may call Maitland Port remote? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Is that the funeral of the sister I found in your hand? ” She traced the entries, day after day, week after week, month after month.
nyp.33433074873369	“ It is all of a part with his general reputation, though. ” THE HOUSE OF GHOSTS 27"You Maitland Port people thought him eccentric?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ It was a foolish letter — a wicked letter- yet- “ Justified?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Katie Sparrow, eh?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Laura? ” His tone held a question.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Laura? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Love?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Lucile Meloche believed that Pat Burnville had spirited away the child? ” “ She suspected.
nyp.33433074873369	“ May I ask if you have established the identity of that young man?
nyp.33433074873369	“ May I make bold to doubt that, Miss Adair?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Might it not be the case that he has nothing to tell; that is, nothing concerning Mr. Winright's death?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Mine without the asking? ” She did not flush, as Laura Winright would have done.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Miss Winright. ” “ Who is it, Katie? ”"Please, it's Miss Sifton."
nyp.33433074873369	“ No one?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ No? ”"I wo n't let you. ” She caught herself.
nyp.33433074873369	“ No?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Not a bit of terror in his tone, Annisford — he spoke just as coolly as though he were asking for a cup of coffee. ” “ What did he say?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Now, the manifestations of this ghost-?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Now, was there another man in the case?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Now, what will you bet that Andrew Webster beats us both? ” “ You have an advantage,"mourned Glory Adair.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Nurse,"the girl began hesitantly,"the man — you know, the man who was with my father?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Or any one else of that name?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Palmistry?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Presumably, Miss Winright, ” he went on,"a man who would resort to forgery to secure a message would have a compelling interest in that message?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Quit hugging me, will you?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Ross? ” She felt her heart beat violently, and her breath came in nervous gasps.
nyp.33433074873369	“ See here, there ai n't no catch to this thing, is there?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Shall we go in?".
nyp.33433074873369	“ Shall we? ” Burnville's brows lifted.
nyp.33433074873369	“ She died? ” Mrs. Villard did not answer.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Sir? ”"How often did you see him?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Sir? ”"How often did you see him?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Sister mine,"he added, dismally,"is this all a wild goose chase? ”"Oh, Tom!
nyp.33433074873369	“ So Harry is your boy? ” The old man caught a note of challenge, and again his temper flared.
nyp.33433074873369	“ So you do n't want to read the letters?
nyp.33433074873369	“ So you're a palmist?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Terrible?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Thad Smith?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Thad Smith?
nyp.33433074873369	“ That is n't an answer? ” Ross just smiled at her.
nyp.33433074873369	“ That is, if he is a man? ”"Did he take to the trees? ” Burnville glanced about.
nyp.33433074873369	“ That is, if he is a man? ”"Did he take to the trees? ” Burnville glanced about.
nyp.33433074873369	“ That nursie body says there's nae sic thing as a ghost, Laura, lass?
nyp.33433074873369	“ That, ” said Glory,"was where you learned of the poison? ” Uneasily the woman's eyes questioned hers.
nyp.33433074873369	“ The Ghost Room is still locked? ” Glory answered nothing.
nyp.33433074873369	“ The hand- print is not Mr. Winright's? ”"No,"answered Laura, doggedly.
nyp.33433074873369	“ The same Harry Burnville who cleared up the Hazlett jewel robbery so neatly?
nyp.33433074873369	“ The trail is lost. ” “ Lost?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Then you do believe it is murder? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Then, you wrote the letter? ” Glory was merciless.
nyp.33433074873369	“ There is a fifth, evidently — the man in grey?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ There must be no- no publicity? ” “ None whatever.
nyp.33433074873369	“ They fell in love?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ This box connects with the one in Castle Sunset? ”"Yes.
nyp.33433074873369	“ This is what you thought, Laura Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	“ This man — Burnville? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Those?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Those? ” The woman's voice was harsh, her throat suddenly dry, as though she were about to choke.
nyp.33433074873369	“ To settle a wager, Mr. Winright- if you like?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Tom?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Umph! ” “ And who is the woman? ”"You know her, I guess?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Umph! ” “ And who is the woman? ”"You know her, I guess?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Under stress —?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Was he ever married? ”"No.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Was he?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Was there hard feeling between the brothers?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Well, this Winright- where is he?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Well?
nyp.33433074873369	“ What book is that? ” he demanded at last.
nyp.33433074873369	“ What did those letters say — the letters Mr. Burnville found?
nyp.33433074873369	“ What do you mean?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ What does all this mean?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ What does she know that makes her so sorry for and talk torde is danger you?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ What does that hand- print tell you?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ What ghost wad bother his empty skull wi'a soft mushmelon of a girl like ye, Katie Sparrow, wha forgets her work tae snoop aroond corners?
nyp.33433074873369	“ What good will it do? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ What is it?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ What of Lucile Villard?
nyp.33433074873369	“ What would Laura Winright think?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ What would you have her do? ” Her pitying tone made Laura think of soft spring showers.
nyp.33433074873369	“ What's the matter, dear? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ What?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ When the envelope was first opened, or after it was opened by Mr. Winright?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Where are you going? ”"If I knew, dear, I'd tell you.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Where did Pat Burnville come in? ” “ Afterward.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Where? ” Incredulously the girl's eyes searched the room.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Who gets the money? ” he blurted.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Who is Webb?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Who is X?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Who is he, anyway?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Who is she- please? ” The daughter of Adam Win- right was very humble.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why do you wish us to fail?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why does he come back?''
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why not take a taxi out to Woodlawn Cemetery?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why so interested — if"-apologetically—“it is not too much for me to ask? ” Glory shrugged her shoulders.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why? ” she asked.
nyp.33433074873369	“ Why? ” “ Shake it."
nyp.33433074873369	“ Will it hurt me?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Will you let me kiss you?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Will you unlock the drawers, Tom?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Would you have her live without her husband, without her child, without her good name?
nyp.33433074873369	“ Yes — somewhere in the west, I think. ”"Did you know him? ”"Not then. ” “ Afterward? ”"I — I heard of him, afterward."
nyp.33433074873369	“ Yes — somewhere in the west, I think. ”"Did you know him? ”"Not then. ” “ Afterward? ”"I — I heard of him, afterward."
nyp.33433074873369	“ Yes, yes, but you —? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ You are asking,'Why does n't this man come forward and tell what he knows?'”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ You are going? ” Laura Winright asked.
nyp.33433074873369	“ You are loving, impetuous, quick to jump at conclusions""And my conclusions — are they right? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ You are my antagonist in this enquiry? ”"I was. ”"Was?
nyp.33433074873369	“ You are my antagonist in this enquiry? ”"I was. ”"Was?
nyp.33433074873369	“ You are packing up?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ You do n't mean — there's a hired man here named Thad Smith, is n't there?
nyp.33433074873369	“ You have no objections? ”.
nyp.33433074873369	“ You knew them?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ You mean the querari?
nyp.33433074873369	“ You must remember “ She wrote to her husband?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ You need a helping hand?
nyp.33433074873369	“ You never heard the ghost except when Mr. Win- right was in the Ghost Room?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ You think so?
nyp.33433074873369	“ You were going to say-? ” insisted Laura.
nyp.33433074873369	“ You will excuse my being a little late?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ You're sure father is quite well, George?".
nyp.33433074873369	“ You're sure that dad's all right, Tom?"
nyp.33433074873369	“ Your father knew it?
nyp.33433074873369	“'He is n't getting any German spy warnings, is he?'
nyp.33433074946819	A beggarly two thousand for the Jook of Gran- don — and me to account for it? nyp.33433074946819 A duchess?"
nyp.33433074946819	A speech — where?
nyp.33433074946819	A supper party, eh?
nyp.33433074946819	About whom?
nyp.33433074946819	Adventursh? nyp.33433074946819 After all?"
nyp.33433074946819	Ah, your Grace is then entirely of our way of thinking?
nyp.33433074946819	And can you imagine what they have done — at Roulett's instigation, I fear?
nyp.33433074946819	And how is the Duke this morning? nyp.33433074946819 And is n't it enough?"
nyp.33433074946819	And is this the way ye are going to treat an old friend?
nyp.33433074946819	And now do tell me,she went on, arranging herself irresistibly among a pile of cushions,"who is this new Duke?"
nyp.33433074946819	And now tell me, Sir Pursuivant,she asked in her most winning accents,"who is this new Duke?"
nyp.33433074946819	And now that everything's settled,said Lam- bert,"what does your Grace propose to do first?"
nyp.33433074946819	And now, Lambert,cried Jack,"what d'ye think of me for a jook?
nyp.33433074946819	And now,she said,"what's the matter?"
nyp.33433074946819	And she chucked him too?
nyp.33433074946819	And so you have called after all?
nyp.33433074946819	And the money? nyp.33433074946819 And the polish and all that?"
nyp.33433074946819	And then?
nyp.33433074946819	And what did he say?
nyp.33433074946819	And what did you tell him?
nyp.33433074946819	And what do you do with yourself, then?
nyp.33433074946819	And what makes ye say that?
nyp.33433074946819	And what the devil's been the matter?
nyp.33433074946819	And when is that?
nyp.33433074946819	And where will he be now?
nyp.33433074946819	And who do you call the best?
nyp.33433074946819	And who the divil are you?
nyp.33433074946819	And who was the woman?
nyp.33433074946819	And who will we get next?
nyp.33433074946819	And why should that prejudice me?
nyp.33433074946819	And will it really be safe in ten days?
nyp.33433074946819	And ye found it amusing?
nyp.33433074946819	And yet father had ruined himself for the Duke's sake?
nyp.33433074946819	And yet you believed in him yourself up till to- day?
nyp.33433074946819	And yet you have n't met her?
nyp.33433074946819	And you became acquainted with the Duke there?
nyp.33433074946819	And you still want me to refer to him on — er — that matter?
nyp.33433074946819	And you were born in New South Wales twenty- six years ago?
nyp.33433074946819	And your friends?
nyp.33433074946819	Another duke?
nyp.33433074946819	Any more of the peerage seeing life with you?
nyp.33433074946819	Any- thing else?
nyp.33433074946819	Are any of these like the present Duke?
nyp.33433074946819	Are ye meaning it?
nyp.33433074946819	Are you offended?
nyp.33433074946819	Are you thirsty?
nyp.33433074946819	Are you turning out of the library?
nyp.33433074946819	Aye, d'ye not know that a Duke o'Grandon is a kind o'god here if he pleases, and a kind o'devil if he likes that better? nyp.33433074946819 Because he comes to my house?
nyp.33433074946819	Beg your pardon? nyp.33433074946819 Begetting little jooks, perhaps?"
nyp.33433074946819	Business slack?
nyp.33433074946819	Business? nyp.33433074946819 Business?"
nyp.33433074946819	But I know what you young men are always waiting for,she said —"the right sort of girl to marry — isn't it, now?"
nyp.33433074946819	But surely he would n't try to punish us?
nyp.33433074946819	But what are ye doing it for?
nyp.33433074946819	But what became of Gaye?
nyp.33433074946819	But what harm can he do?
nyp.33433074946819	But what will the Duke say?
nyp.33433074946819	But what's the matter?
nyp.33433074946819	But where am I to go, and what am I to do?
nyp.33433074946819	But who knows I'm here? nyp.33433074946819 But why on earth should he change with any one?"
nyp.33433074946819	But you do n't know exactly when?
nyp.33433074946819	But you do n't know?
nyp.33433074946819	But — er — how does it account for it?
nyp.33433074946819	By the by,exclaimed his Grace, as if suddenly struck with a thought,"while I happen to think of it, have ye brought the keys along?"
nyp.33433074946819	Ca n't you?
nyp.33433074946819	Can Sir Pursuivant do nothing to prevent this scandal?
nyp.33433074946819	Come on Friday — will you?
nyp.33433074946819	Could n't you leave a message for your friends?
nyp.33433074946819	Crissy, me boy, would ye call a walk from the other end of St. James'Street to Grandon House, with Sir Pursuivant De- brette on your arm, revelling?
nyp.33433074946819	Crissy, me dear friend, shall I make ye jeal- ous?
nyp.33433074946819	D d slow, is n't it?
nyp.33433074946819	D'ye remember when ye saw me last?
nyp.33433074946819	D'ye think I'd stoop to a governess?
nyp.33433074946819	D'you know where she is?
nyp.33433074946819	D'you mean you've given yourself away over somethin'?
nyp.33433074946819	Did he —began Lambert, and stuck for a del- icate word —"bother you on anything?"
nyp.33433074946819	Did n't Lambert tell me to do justice to me dig- nity? nyp.33433074946819 Did that man say he came from the Duke of Grandon?"
nyp.33433074946819	Did you see it?
nyp.33433074946819	Did you see the diamonds?
nyp.33433074946819	Did your master tell you to employ us?
nyp.33433074946819	Do n't you know when to stop?
nyp.33433074946819	Do n't you think I can defend myself?
nyp.33433074946819	Do n't you think they have reason?
nyp.33433074946819	Do tell me, Julia,she asked,"who is that young man?
nyp.33433074946819	Do ye happen to see any change on me dressing table?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you ever use it?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you know the whole truth?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you know they are having him at their house to- morrow night?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you know who I am?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you mean that it will do instead of seeing the Duke?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you mean to say you are the rightful Duke of Grandon?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you often patronise the park? nyp.33433074946819 Do you really want me to?"
nyp.33433074946819	Do you think he requires a secretary, Mr.—er — Kavanagh?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you think she deserved any better fate?
nyp.33433074946819	Do you think that man would condescend to move a muscle for the sake of you or me?
nyp.33433074946819	Does a duke make his pres- ence felt in the air?
nyp.33433074946819	Does he — does he remind you of any one?
nyp.33433074946819	Does n't he?
nyp.33433074946819	Does the Duke propose to come here him- self?
nyp.33433074946819	Eh? nyp.33433074946819 Eh?"
nyp.33433074946819	Ever happened to hear of the Gayes?
nyp.33433074946819	Feel better?
nyp.33433074946819	For certain?
nyp.33433074946819	For how long?
nyp.33433074946819	For me?
nyp.33433074946819	For the night?
nyp.33433074946819	Frank?
nyp.33433074946819	Gayes?
nyp.33433074946819	Grandon,he sighed,"is there anything on earth that is not at your disposal?"
nyp.33433074946819	Had supper?
nyp.33433074946819	Had we not better get hold of me executor, eh, Lambert?
nyp.33433074946819	Has Mrs. Gaye decided upon her answer?
nyp.33433074946819	Has he any brothers or sisters?
nyp.33433074946819	Has he never told you of his father?
nyp.33433074946819	Have a drop more?
nyp.33433074946819	Have another drink, ol'man?
nyp.33433074946819	Have ye come to insult me?
nyp.33433074946819	Have ye none that can amuse ye?
nyp.33433074946819	Have ye? nyp.33433074946819 Have you forgotten?"
nyp.33433074946819	Have you presented her, then, with the trous- seau and the bridal chamber before wooing her?
nyp.33433074946819	Have you seen her?
nyp.33433074946819	He brought you back with him, I presume?
nyp.33433074946819	He has n't bagged any?
nyp.33433074946819	He is not unwell?
nyp.33433074946819	His father?
nyp.33433074946819	His people?
nyp.33433074946819	His wife? nyp.33433074946819 Hooky Jones, what?"
nyp.33433074946819	Housekeeping?
nyp.33433074946819	How are ye, me dear Sir Pursuivant?
nyp.33433074946819	How are you?
nyp.33433074946819	How d'you account for your Irish accent, then?
nyp.33433074946819	How ever did the Duke get hold of him?
nyp.33433074946819	How many places could you be in at the same time? nyp.33433074946819 How much may there be?"
nyp.33433074946819	How the deuce did it happen?
nyp.33433074946819	How would I like it? nyp.33433074946819 How would you like to really be the Duke?"
nyp.33433074946819	I beg your pardon?
nyp.33433074946819	I believe he slaps them on the back, does n't he?
nyp.33433074946819	I can leave it to you, then?
nyp.33433074946819	I must have left some of Frank's stationery in the house; but who the deuce has had the cheek to use it? nyp.33433074946819 I suppose you were told to inspect every- thing?"
nyp.33433074946819	I suppose you will now give your report?
nyp.33433074946819	I was introduced to him the other night,she said,"and I must confess""Yes?"
nyp.33433074946819	I wonder now will I find Crissy in?
nyp.33433074946819	I'll 140 142 THE DUKEFaith, it's very good of them,"said his Grace;"answer it, will ye?
nyp.33433074946819	If he means to treat us well, why does he send this man?
nyp.33433074946819	Indeed?
nyp.33433074946819	Is he ill?
nyp.33433074946819	Is it different from other castles?
nyp.33433074946819	Is it managing a Duke that's the matter with you?
nyp.33433074946819	Is it necessary?
nyp.33433074946819	Is n't he his secretary?
nyp.33433074946819	Is n't it enough that I should be a damned duke in a damned dungeon in this damned city, with that damned canvas thing for company?
nyp.33433074946819	Is n't it romantic? nyp.33433074946819 Is n't it?"
nyp.33433074946819	Is that what you regret most?
nyp.33433074946819	Is there anything else you suspect me of?
nyp.33433074946819	It has a damp smell, I suppose, and blood on the floors? nyp.33433074946819 It is Grandon House?"
nyp.33433074946819	It is nothing serious I trust, my love?
nyp.33433074946819	It is simply on business?
nyp.33433074946819	It was no one you ever knew — and after all these fanciful resemblances are rather absurd, are n't they?
nyp.33433074946819	It's a secret, then?
nyp.33433074946819	Jack, me boy,he continued hastily,"me wits are wandering; would ye be so very kind as just to try the keyhole?"
nyp.33433074946819	Julia, me love,he whispered( they were sitting very close to one another by this time)"can ye keep a secret?"
nyp.33433074946819	Ka —? nyp.33433074946819 Leave me?"
nyp.33433074946819	Little,he answered;"how'd you know?"
nyp.33433074946819	Lord Shtagger — know him? nyp.33433074946819 Marjorie, what is the matter with you?"
nyp.33433074946819	Miss Gaye, what do you think I came here for?
nyp.33433074946819	Miss Julia?
nyp.33433074946819	Must I see any more?
nyp.33433074946819	My dear Duke, why deceive me?
nyp.33433074946819	No bad news from the House?
nyp.33433074946819	No doubt she is immensely interested too?
nyp.33433074946819	No doubt we shall see you in the House of Lords very soon, your Grace?
nyp.33433074946819	Nor lived with Irish people?
nyp.33433074946819	Not the Wal- ter Haselle who knew my brother once — about twenty or thirty years ago?
nyp.33433074946819	Not the flood, and how ye fell in and were so stunned ye could n't swim"And you pulled me out?
nyp.33433074946819	Not?
nyp.33433074946819	Now what's the meaning of this?
nyp.33433074946819	Offend him? nyp.33433074946819 Offended?
nyp.33433074946819	Old who?
nyp.33433074946819	On the Duke's behalf; you know?
nyp.33433074946819	On the razzle, eh?
nyp.33433074946819	Only a year?
nyp.33433074946819	Or to misbehave himself?
nyp.33433074946819	Perhaps you'll give me a chance of seeing you on business in the morning?
nyp.33433074946819	Prejudices?
nyp.33433074946819	Rather bad luck, is n't it?
nyp.33433074946819	Relent?
nyp.33433074946819	Risk what?
nyp.33433074946819	River in flood, claim a fraud, you starting off with the other boys and I on my own? nyp.33433074946819 Sacked?"
nyp.33433074946819	Saw life, Lambert? nyp.33433074946819 See me secretary, will ye?
nyp.33433074946819	Seen the Duke lately?
nyp.33433074946819	Shall we settle that now?
nyp.33433074946819	She will give no answer to my letter?
nyp.33433074946819	Sir What's- his- name Debrette? nyp.33433074946819 So you know what sort of a world I've been shied into?"
nyp.33433074946819	Some years?
nyp.33433074946819	Sure you do n't mind?
nyp.33433074946819	Sure?
nyp.33433074946819	Taking your position in society?
nyp.33433074946819	Tell me, ol'chap,he demanded anxiously,"as a frien', quite candid, would you notice I'd had just a lill'drop, just a tiddlely too mush?"
nyp.33433074946819	Thank ye, Jack; a bottle of champagne, Sir Pursuivant? nyp.33433074946819 That do?"
nyp.33433074946819	That is exactly the Duke's experience, is n't it?
nyp.33433074946819	That is then how you met again?
nyp.33433074946819	That man?
nyp.33433074946819	That's me ancestral seat, ye mean?
nyp.33433074946819	That's strange, is n't it?
nyp.33433074946819	That?
nyp.33433074946819	The Duke — which Duke?
nyp.33433074946819	The Duke's business?
nyp.33433074946819	The present Duke does n't know this story, then?
nyp.33433074946819	Then I suppose you blame me for losing your job?
nyp.33433074946819	Then he was coming on purpose to see her?
nyp.33433074946819	Then we had a bit of shupper, being devilish dry be that time, Lambert — shupper at the club — wash it th'club, or washn't it? nyp.33433074946819 Then you do n't know England well?"
nyp.33433074946819	Then you have discovered that I only tolerate you with difficulty?
nyp.33433074946819	Then you induced him to create the office?
nyp.33433074946819	Then your mother is determined neither to see me nor to write to me?
nyp.33433074946819	Then, sir,said Mr. Stock,"do you offer us no satisfaction, no reparation?
nyp.33433074946819	Then,asked Lambert,"then was his father — handsome?"
nyp.33433074946819	Then,suggested his Lordship,"why not fill it?"
nyp.33433074946819	This is the Duke of Grandon's house?
nyp.33433074946819	This is your first appearance in society?
nyp.33433074946819	This secretaryship is then an extremely recent post?
nyp.33433074946819	This, I suppose, was a farewell party?
nyp.33433074946819	This?
nyp.33433074946819	Twenty- something; you've got up his history, have n't you? nyp.33433074946819 Understand what?"
nyp.33433074946819	Up this way, I suppose?
nyp.33433074946819	Wanting me?
nyp.33433074946819	Was he?
nyp.33433074946819	Was she respectable or artistic?
nyp.33433074946819	We were left nothing at all?
nyp.33433074946819	Well, I mean, was he really discovered selling papers in San Francisco? nyp.33433074946819 Wha, t has Mr. the secretary been doing?"
nyp.33433074946819	What about Sir Pursuivant Debrette?
nyp.33433074946819	What about'em?
nyp.33433074946819	What are poor devils like me made for if it is n't to be patron- ised by a jook?
nyp.33433074946819	What are you doing in Babylon?
nyp.33433074946819	What are you goin'to do about it?
nyp.33433074946819	What became of her?
nyp.33433074946819	What became of that Walter Haselle?
nyp.33433074946819	What colour?
nyp.33433074946819	What d'ye mean?
nyp.33433074946819	What d'ye take me for? nyp.33433074946819 What d'ye take me for?"
nyp.33433074946819	What d'ye want?
nyp.33433074946819	What delay?
nyp.33433074946819	What do you expect?
nyp.33433074946819	What do you want now?
nyp.33433074946819	What do you want to know?
nyp.33433074946819	What does he say?
nyp.33433074946819	What does his Grace say?
nyp.33433074946819	What ever's the matter?
nyp.33433074946819	What have you done?
nyp.33433074946819	What is his name?
nyp.33433074946819	What is it?
nyp.33433074946819	What is the matter? nyp.33433074946819 What is the use?"
nyp.33433074946819	What kind of a chap is he?
nyp.33433074946819	What kind of a youngster is he?
nyp.33433074946819	What makes you think so?

nyp.33433074946819	Yes?
nyp.33433074946819	Yes?
nyp.33433074946819	You are a colonial, I understand?
nyp.33433074946819	You are fifty, Pursie; do you still look for thanks? nyp.33433074946819 You are going?"
nyp.33433074946819	You are not Irish, then?
nyp.33433074946819	You are rather particular, then?
nyp.33433074946819	You are sure he meant me?
nyp.33433074946819	You are then the son of Walter Haselle and Mary Smith?
nyp.33433074946819	You found it amusing, then?
nyp.33433074946819	You gave it her?

nyp.33433074946819	You return to the Haselle Arms, Mr. Kava- nagh?
nyp.33433074946819	You thought he had come on your mother's business?
nyp.33433074946819	You want to?
nyp.33433074946819	You will believe it?
nyp.33433074946819	You wo n't tell him it is ready?
nyp.33433074946819	You'll have some tea, of course? nyp.33433074946819 You're not going, Crissy?"

nyp.33433074946819	After a little she said suddenly —"Do you know how you first caught my eye?"
nyp.33433074946819	All at once he said — 148 THE DUKE"'V"You're going to speak to him?"
nyp.33433074946819	And is it true that they had to put him in a hot bath to find out if it really was him?"
nyp.33433074946819	And then this silent girl — what part had she in the story?
nyp.33433074946819	And was there ever a jook before with such a beggarly allowance?
nyp.33433074946819	And you, my dear Count, ye'll come too?
nyp.33433074946819	Any one else in?"
nyp.33433074946819	Anybody who really knows can see that you have the — what shall I say?
nyp.33433074946819	Are ye lonely, then, in your exalted position, Lambert?"
nyp.33433074946819	Are you amorous?
nyp.33433074946819	Are you hungry?
nyp.33433074946819	As she was leaving the room he asked —"You and Mrs. Gaye really insist on this ar- rangement?"
nyp.33433074946819	At the end she asked —"How long have we to do all this in?"
nyp.33433074946819	But per- haps you know all this?"
nyp.33433074946819	But wo n't you tell me why?"
nyp.33433074946819	By the way, I suppose you've seen nothing of my sister lately?"

nyp.33433074946819	Ca n't get rid of him?
nyp.33433074946819	Can she? She ca n't sus- pect.
nyp.33433074946819	Can ye keep a secret as long as that?"
nyp.33433074946819	Could I ever forget it?
nyp.33433074946819	Could she go now and leave Lady Roulett in possession?
nyp.33433074946819	Crishy was there, yesh; and more good chaps, two more — or three?
nyp.33433074946819	D'ye mean to say she was your governess?"
nyp.33433074946819	Did you say you ever heard the name of Gaye before?"
nyp.33433074946819	Do tell me, are they all true?"
nyp.33433074946819	Do you intend to convert it?"
nyp.33433074946819	Do you know that you told Julia you would come with us to Ranelagh this afternoon?"
nyp.33433074946819	Do you know where the secretary is now?"
nyp.33433074946819	Do you think I owe society anything?
nyp.33433074946819	Eh?"

nyp.33433074946819	For an instant he glanced at her almost suspiciously, and then he said —"He knows the old story, then?"
nyp.33433074946819	For what acquaintance would dream of refusing to lend the wealthy Duke of Grandon five or ten pounds?
nyp.33433074946819	Forty, per- haps?
nyp.33433074946819	Gaye?"
nyp.33433074946819	H've I made it perf'ctly clear?"
nyp.33433074946819	Had these people really some heart in them after all?
nyp.33433074946819	Hang it — er"The Bar- onet paused, and then blurted out,"What's the matter?
nyp.33433074946819	Have ye had supper yet?"
nyp.33433074946819	He admitted that he was, and then abruptly said —"Do you come too?"
nyp.33433074946819	He chuckled silently, and in a minute asked —"That all?"
nyp.33433074946819	He has been a squatter, has he not?"
nyp.33433074946819	He has n't left, then?

nyp.33433074946819	How could he find it in his heart to wring her past out of a thing so fragile?
nyp.33433074946819	How in the world did you find me out?"
nyp.33433074946819	How long ago was that?"
nyp.33433074946819	How many's that?
nyp.33433074946819	How the deuce, though, did he get an Irish accent?"
nyp.33433074946819	How's he provided for?"
nyp.33433074946819	I am afraid I did not catch your name?"
nyp.33433074946819	I hope I have n't disturbed ye too early?"
nyp.33433074946819	I wonder what he keeps here?"
nyp.33433074946819	I'd have had things ready for him, and told people, and Gad, I wonder what sort of man he is?"
nyp.33433074946819	I'm a born orator, me boy, and old Stock seemed anxious for me to display me powers; d'ye see how it happened?"
nyp.33433074946819	If he wants to play the fool, now's his chance; see that he plays it like a gentleman, will you?"
nyp.33433074946819	Is he never com- ing to see us, either?"
nyp.33433074946819	Is he — is he quite the sort of person one would desire?"
nyp.33433074946819	Is n't there anything just a little, weeny bit humbler, for me to use?"
nyp.33433074946819	It was dull enough talking to nobody, but supposing I'd had to talk to every one?
nyp.33433074946819	It's not this girl ye were meaning, then?"

nyp.33433074946819	Married out there""Out where?"
nyp.33433074946819	Mr. Weyman knows the eighteenth century from top to bottom, and could any time be more suitable for the writer of romance?
nyp.33433074946819	Mrs. Gaye insists upon dealing only with him?"
nyp.33433074946819	Mrs. Louvaine gave him one little curious glance, and then went on —"You never, then, heard anything to — to his dis- advantage?"
nyp.33433074946819	My daughters — this is Julia, and this child is Maria; your cousins — I may call them so?"
nyp.33433074946819	Only take care; you have Georgiana watching you, and she wo n't hesitate to warn him, if""If what?"
nyp.33433074946819	Or had the glory of Grandon House departed with the lamented Francis, sixth sovereign?
nyp.33433074946819	Out of the gallery a wide corridor opened, and the Duke asked —"Where does this lead to?"
nyp.33433074946819	Perhaps you'd forgotten?"
nyp.33433074946819	Poor Frank, was n't it sad?
nyp.33433074946819	Principles, aspirations, and refinement are the trinity of noblesse, are they not?"
nyp.33433074946819	Quite sure?
nyp.33433074946819	Shall I tell him you are here, your Grace?"
nyp.33433074946819	She gave him a half- frightened, appealing look, as much as to say,"Ca n't you let it rest?"
nyp.33433074946819	She paused and seemed to hesitate, and then she said —"You remember Walter Haselle?"
nyp.33433074946819	Shee?
nyp.33433074946819	So, me angel, ye'll be as quiet as the dream of beauty ye are, will ye?"
nyp.33433074946819	Suddenly he asked —"He was guilty, I s'pose?"
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE 183"Who thought?"
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE 233"What do you wish done here?"
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE 267"Accounts of what?"
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE 269"What d'ye mean?"
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE 275"When shall you see the — what shall I call him?
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE 99"I mean,"explained the Duke,"what happened before your reforms, sir?"
nyp.33433074946819	THE DUKE IOI"Gettin'dry?"
nyp.33433074946819	That's the boy ye were want- ing, Lambert?"
nyp.33433074946819	The dancing had begun, the band was playing, the buzz of talk filled every room; but where was the Duke?
nyp.33433074946819	Then Lambert said —"He was engaged to a girl, was n't he?"
nyp.33433074946819	Then his eyes began to twinkle, and assuming the most seductive smile, he remarked,"There will be fine callers here, Lambert?"
nyp.33433074946819	Then she asked,"Who is he precisely?
nyp.33433074946819	Then suddenly she asked —"You mean he wo n't come till everything is ready?"
nyp.33433074946819	Then the deuce must have prompted him to ask —"Do you show visitors round?"
nyp.33433074946819	There was a brief silence, and then the Baronet asked —"How old is he?"
nyp.33433074946819	There was a short scene, but what could one man say or do?
nyp.33433074946819	There were wise and respectable heads beneath some of them, no doubt, but what was a Duke supposed to know of these?
nyp.33433074946819	Undershtand?
nyp.33433074946819	V^?
nyp.33433074946819	Wha's lived in his house these eighteen years, think ye, sir?
nyp.33433074946819	What d'ye mean?"
nyp.33433074946819	What d'ye say to that?"
nyp.33433074946819	What did it matter to you if he should be drunk all day and abroad all night?
nyp.33433074946819	What do you think?
nyp.33433074946819	What excuse have you to offer for practising this gross imposition?"
nyp.33433074946819	What price?
nyp.33433074946819	What the deuce could be the relation between the two men?
nyp.33433074946819	What was I shaying?
nyp.33433074946819	What would some of me friends say if they saw me now?"
nyp.33433074946819	What's another beggarly thousand?
nyp.33433074946819	What's the use in being a jook if it's not that people will wait for their money?"
nyp.33433074946819	What's up now?"
nyp.33433074946819	What?
nyp.33433074946819	What?"
nyp.33433074946819	What?"
nyp.33433074946819	When he gets used to them, do n't you think he will — understand?"
nyp.33433074946819	When is he expected?"
nyp.33433074946819	Where did you go with Roulett and Crissy and the rest of them?"
nyp.33433074946819	Where have you bin?"
nyp.33433074946819	Where's he?"
nyp.33433074946819	Who is it?"
nyp.33433074946819	Who should suspect that there was anything amiss?
nyp.33433074946819	Who's to know which of us is which?"
nyp.33433074946819	Why do you remind me that there used to be a thing called fresh air and a man named Lam- bert Haselle?"
nyp.33433074946819	Why not?"
nyp.33433074946819	Why rake among the ashes?"
nyp.33433074946819	Will you need those too?"
nyp.33433074946819	Will your Grace come hupstairs?"
nyp.33433074946819	Wo n't you, Sir Pursuivant?
nyp.33433074946819	Would Sir Pursuivant walk in?
nyp.33433074946819	Would he come like the others, with a fanfare of trumpets, and fill the great saloons with guests?
nyp.33433074946819	Would you care to?"
nyp.33433074946819	Ye mean the management of your estates?"
nyp.33433074946819	Ye remem- ber that?"
nyp.33433074946819	You bin there this afternoon?"
nyp.33433074946819	You do n't take sugar or cream?
nyp.33433074946819	You got what you wanted""What we wanted?"
nyp.33433074946819	You have been revelling, I suppose?"
nyp.33433074946819	You intend to spend the season in town, I sup- pose?"
nyp.33433074946819	You remem- ber another man called Gaye, who was also not a very creditable acquaintance of poor Frank's?"
nyp.33433074946819	You see, with a daughter just out, one must be so particular, must n't one?"
nyp.33433074946819	You undershtand?
nyp.33433074946819	You will come?"
nyp.33433074946819	and how did they get it?"
nyp.33433074946819	cried Jack; then suddenly he asked,"And is it true that I'm to be Jook of Gran- don to- morrow?"
nyp.33433074946819	go THE DUKE"Do you mean to say, mamma, the Duke allowed him?"
nyp.33433074946819	he cried, with the delight of a reveller at spying a recipient for his con- fidences,"you sleepin'here?
nyp.33433074946819	or my family?"
nyp.33433074946819	she cried,"what do you think Georgi- ana has done?"
nyp.33433074946819	the poor lady cried, as if she had heard an accuser,"how dare you ask that?"
nyp.33433074946819	— the decoy Duke?"
nyp.33433076058332	? ” About the only response that Jack could find was his oft- reiterated: “ It ’s bound to come out all right, Miss Cynthia.
nyp.33433076058332	A bit odd, eh?
nyp.33433076058332	After he got out the papers, did you close it again? ” “ I do n’t just remember, but I do n’t think so.
nyp.33433076058332	Also we had a report on the thing from the Inspector. ” “ I suppose McFalcon was on the job? ” “ Yes. ” “ I thought so.
nyp.33433076058332	Am I insult?
nyp.33433076058332	And as he stood waiting for the elevator, he mused aloud: “ I wonder how much that girl knows?
nyp.33433076058332	And do n’t you see that hole in the back of his coat?
nyp.33433076058332	And he men- tioned that Señora Cortez had called to see Mr. Theobold. ” “ Why should he mention that?
nyp.33433076058332	And now would you mind opening that safe for me?
nyp.33433076058332	And the streak of light falls in just the same place as in the other picture, does it? ” “ Anybody can see that it does.
nyp.33433076058332	And this weapon — this what you call, six- shooter?—it had on it the silencer and the smoke consumer?
nyp.33433076058332	And what about the finger- print?
nyp.33433076058332	And what was our live man doing when the fellow that took the papers and made the prints went by his desk, not two feet away?
nyp.33433076058332	And what would such a frame- up be for?
nyp.33433076058332	And when I did come back I found him lying there dead! ” “ Was any one in the office when you came down from the roof? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076058332	And who made the finger- prints?
nyp.33433076058332	And who's to know who did it if not the only feller that was handy by?
nyp.33433076058332	Any- thing new? ” “ Not much.
nyp.33433076058332	Are you crazy? ” “ No, I am very sane.
nyp.33433076058332	Bombs are all right, but they do n’t leave finger- prints, do they? ” “ Ah, Monsieur, you astound me.
nyp.33433076058332	But be- tween ourselves it does n’t sound altogether plaus- 72 THE WITNESS OF THE SUN ible, now, does it?
nyp.33433076058332	But did he happen to tell you how he thinks the bloody finger- prints got on the letter in Theobold's pocket?
nyp.33433076058332	But not here. ” “ You know how to shoot it, I suppose? ” “ To be sure.
nyp.33433076058332	But was n’t Carlyle Harris who killed his girl- wife a nice chap?
nyp.33433076058332	But what about it? ” “ Why, you see that the streak of light falls right along the groove in the concrete floor.
nyp.33433076058332	But what are they? ” “ Briefly, this.
nyp.33433076058332	But what does that prove? ” “ Why, it proves that both the prints were made by the same finger, does n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	But what does that prove? ” “ Why, it proves that both the prints were made by the same finger, does n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	But what good were the papers while T64 THE WITNESS OF THE SUN “ What do you make of her, anyway?
nyp.33433076058332	But what have you got up your sleeve, Aleck? ” “ The ace of trumps.
nyp.33433076058332	But when there is a beauty like Mademoiselle yonder to fight for — what may one believe not?
nyp.33433076058332	But who took the papers from the safe?
nyp.33433076058332	Ca n’t we get word to the Inspector, and have him released at once? ” The detective's jaw dropped.
nyp.33433076058332	Can you beat it? ” “ No; but you can match it with the claims and admissions of pretty nearly every other criminal.
nyp.33433076058332	Cortez has gone back to Brazil. ” “ But what about Crosby and his other girl? ” “ Miss Collins?
nyp.33433076058332	Cortez has gone back to Brazil. ” “ But what about Crosby and his other girl? ” “ Miss Collins?
nyp.33433076058332	Crosby was there. ” “ Did he say anything to you? ” “ He said that Mr. Theobold had rung the bell for me five minutes before.
nyp.33433076058332	Crosby, of course, was right in on the deal. ” “ But could n’t he get the papers without killing the old man? ” “ Surely.
nyp.33433076058332	Did you ever see any one shoot as far as that with a revolver, Captain? ” “ Oh, Monsieur, it is nothing.
nyp.33433076058332	Did you set it? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076058332	Do I make myself quite plain? ” Miss Collins's face was ghastly, but she held her- self proudly erect.
nyp.33433076058332	Do n’t you see the blood?
nyp.33433076058332	Do n’t you think so? ” “ Maybe so, Miss Cynthia.
nyp.33433076058332	Do they fit? ” “ I think so, sir. ” “ We can all see that they do.
nyp.33433076058332	Do you 166 THE WITNESS OF THE SUN believe that he did plunk him right then and there from the window? ” “ Nope.
nyp.33433076058332	Do you need any facts, man, to support a case like that?
nyp.33433076058332	Do you recognize it?
nyp.33433076058332	Do you remember how Carlyle Harris went to the chair up there in Sing Sing?
nyp.33433076058332	Do you remember if the safe was open when you came in yesterday morn- ing and found Theobold lying dead? ” THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY 73 “ The safe?
nyp.33433076058332	Do you remember if the safe was open when you came in yesterday morn- ing and found Theobold lying dead? ” THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY 73 “ The safe?
nyp.33433076058332	Do you suppose a cock- and- bull story like that will go down?
nyp.33433076058332	Do you? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076058332	Do you? ” “ That ’s what I want to talk to you about, Jack.
nyp.33433076058332	Does n't look good, does it? ” WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE 107 “ But the finger- print — it was not made by Monsieur, the secretary? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076058332	Does n't look good, does it? ” WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE 107 “ But the finger- print — it was not made by Monsieur, the secretary? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076058332	Eh, Jack? ” Again he winked knowingly at the boy, leaving the recipient of the wink, however, entirely mys- tified as to what might be its purport.
nyp.33433076058332	Eh, sonny? ” The detective winked at Jack as he spoke.
nyp.33433076058332	Everyone was looking at the airplane, and I stopped to see it. ” “ H’m'What time did you get here? ” “ Here at the office?
nyp.33433076058332	Everyone was looking at the airplane, and I stopped to see it. ” “ H’m'What time did you get here? ” “ Here at the office?
nyp.33433076058332	Finally he gasped: “ Of what do you accuse me, Señor? ” “ Never mind that.
nyp.33433076058332	Had n’t shot his gun since he came to New York, eh?
nyp.33433076058332	Had you taken any dictation that morning, for ex- ample? ” THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY 71 “ No; he seldom gave dictation until after ten o'clock.
nyp.33433076058332	Have I not seen the charming made- moiselle his stenographer? ” The Captain ’s eyes sparkled.
nyp.33433076058332	He did the same thing for Señor Cortez, I think? ” “ Señor Cortez?
nyp.33433076058332	He did the same thing for Señor Cortez, I think? ” “ Señor Cortez?
nyp.33433076058332	He is the fellow that Cortez claims came with him to his office from the Long Island Station? ” “ Same chap.
nyp.33433076058332	He twirled his moustache as he continued: “ Did you notice her this morning, Monsieur, when we entered?
nyp.33433076058332	How about lunching with me to- day? ” “ Not to- day.
nyp.33433076058332	How in thunder could the police frame up a thing like that with a whole troupe of people about?
nyp.33433076058332	I do n’t think. ” “ Well, just what do you think, Aleck?
nyp.33433076058332	I have not had a pistol in my hand for years. ” “ Are you right sure you did n’t have this pistol in your hand yesterday? ” “ Never, Señor.
nyp.33433076058332	I was up on the roof, as I told you. ” “ Did you have any conversation with Mr. Theobold before you went up on the roof?
nyp.33433076058332	I went over to the Tombs and — to make a long story short — Crosby “ fessed up ’ on the whole business. ” “ Crosby “ fessed up'?
nyp.33433076058332	If monsieur saw Madame here at the window, and was very angry, and if he had a big six- shooter in his hand, why should he not shoot?
nyp.33433076058332	If you are an innocent man, you can have no possible objection. ” “ An innocent man?
nyp.33433076058332	If you should change your mind on thinking it over, please let me know. ”- But as he left, he was muttering to himself: “ Change her mind?
nyp.33433076058332	In other words, I hope that Mr. Crosby will never be brought to trial. ” “ Will never be brought to trial? ” Miss Collins gasped.
nyp.33433076058332	In the meantime, Crosby has a dicker on with that Frenchman — what is his name?
nyp.33433076058332	Is Señora Cortez a friend of yours? ” “ Not particularly.
nyp.33433076058332	Is it possible?
nyp.33433076058332	Is it to the police station I have to go?
nyp.33433076058332	Is that not better than — Sing Sing? ” A CHANCE FOR CROSBY 151 The girl rose and drew herself to her full height.
nyp.33433076058332	It ’s all flattened out of shape, as why WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE 111 would n’t it be after it ran against a steel safe after going through a man?
nyp.33433076058332	Know anything about this man Theobold? ” “ Only that he was a kind of promoter.
nyp.33433076058332	MORE FINGER — PRINTS 129 “ Finger- prints?
nyp.33433076058332	Nice chap?
nyp.33433076058332	Nice, sweet little chain of evidence to drag our clients out of jail with, eh?
nyp.33433076058332	Not loaded, eh?
nyp.33433076058332	Now who took them?
nyp.33433076058332	Of course they do n’t fit Crosby, but who ’d expect them to?
nyp.33433076058332	Or do you think he was hanging from the ceiling by the lamp bracket? ” McFalcon was waxing sarcastic.
nyp.33433076058332	Presently he said:- “ You opened the safe for him?
nyp.33433076058332	Presently the Inspector queried: “ Cortez, where were you when the bird- girl was going over? ” “ Yesterday morning?
nyp.33433076058332	Presently the Inspector queried: “ Cortez, where were you when the bird- girl was going over? ” “ Yesterday morning?
nyp.33433076058332	Pretty hard question to answer, eh, Doc?
nyp.33433076058332	Rather a gruesome object, is n’t it, with its mazes of lines, when you think what it stands for?
nyp.33433076058332	Señor, you do not think that I saw him yesterday?
nyp.33433076058332	Shall I send for a notary? ” “ No, no, this must all be done very secretly.
nyp.33433076058332	She was still here? ” “ No, she probably saw him coming along the street, and she made a getaway.
nyp.33433076058332	So the papers were taken out before the bullet was fired — eh?
nyp.33433076058332	That is the matter I have come to speak to you about. ” “ A different course?
nyp.33433076058332	That is where you dropped the airplane bombs, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	That was about 10:30, was n’t it, Captain De Lage? ” “ Oui, Monsieur; exactly 10:30.
nyp.33433076058332	That was mighty close to the event, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	That you, Mike?
nyp.33433076058332	That ’s a puzzle, is n’t it? ” “ I was just thinking of another thing, ” said Jack, his face now flushed.
nyp.33433076058332	That ’s his blind spot. ” “ Blind spot?
nyp.33433076058332	The bunch’ll go to the chair. ” “ The chair?
nyp.33433076058332	The rest of the story is ancient history. ” “ Do you mean to tell me that Crosby confessed all this to you that night? ” “ He sure did.
nyp.33433076058332	There was no need even to glance at his watch to see if the clock was wrong; for when had he been seventeen minutes late in coming to his office?
nyp.33433076058332	They were n’t lying over by the safe, or anywhere else in sight, were they?
nyp.33433076058332	Trust the guilty to show the nerve every time. ” “ And you think that applies to Crosby? ” “ Certainly it does.
nyp.33433076058332	Under such circumstances, who would not be cheerful?
nyp.33433076058332	Was n't Waite, who killed his wife's father and mother, a nice chap?
nyp.33433076058332	Was n’t that Boston preacher who killed his sweetheart a nice chap?
nyp.33433076058332	Was she here again? ” “ Surest thing you know.
nyp.33433076058332	What about that, Master Jack? ” “ Why, you see, I went into Mr. Theobold ’s office when I was only twelve years old.
nyp.33433076058332	What about your bomb theory if we ’ve now got this six- shooter theory? ” “ Ah, Monsieur; that was a mere suggestion.
nyp.33433076058332	What did you do next about it? ” “ Why, I looked up, and all of a sudden I noticed a hole in the curtain.
nyp.33433076058332	What did you do next? ” “ Why, I could n’t understand it all at first.
nyp.33433076058332	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076058332	What do you mean? ” “ Just what I say.
nyp.33433076058332	What do you mean? ” “ Nothing; nothing at all.
nyp.33433076058332	What do you take me for?
nyp.33433076058332	What does Monsieur think? ” “ Never mind what I think, Captain.
nyp.33433076058332	What had become of that pistol?
nyp.33433076058332	What happened next? ” “ Nothing, for a while.
nyp.33433076058332	What kind of a frame- up would you call it when no one is framed?
nyp.33433076058332	What real evidence, after all, is there to connectCrosby positively with the crime? ” The detective gesticulated impatiently.
nyp.33433076058332	When are you going to get at that, Doc?
nyp.33433076058332	When did you write it, where, and under what circumstances? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076058332	Where are the stolen papers?
nyp.33433076058332	Where did you find it? ” Such imperturbability nettled the detective.
nyp.33433076058332	Where is the optimism you were parading so freely a little while ago?
nyp.33433076058332	Which is right?
nyp.33433076058332	Who are these visitors you speak of, Doctor Harris and Captain De Lage? ” “ Why, Doctor Harris is an inventor.
nyp.33433076058332	Who did get them if it was n’t our young friend in the next room or one of his pals?
nyp.33433076058332	Who else knew they were there?
nyp.33433076058332	Who else wanted them except that bunch?
nyp.33433076058332	Who is framed?
nyp.33433076058332	Who spotted the murtherer at sight, when no one else could see him?
nyp.33433076058332	Who would n’t be, when a greaser was coming after him with a six- shooter? ” “ Ah, I guessed it! ” cried the Captain, exultantly.
nyp.33433076058332	Why come down into the street and run over here and lose time?
nyp.33433076058332	Why did n’t she hear the shot? ” “ You ’ve said it, young man; you ’ve said it.
nyp.33433076058332	Why did n’t she?
nyp.33433076058332	Why not put him on the track of Lopez? ” “ That would help out a lot, would n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	Why not put him on the track of Lopez? ” “ That would help out a lot, would n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	Why not stand at the window where he was, and shoot? ” The detective arose and stood beside the Cap- tain, looking across at the building.
nyp.33433076058332	Why should we have two telephones?
nyp.33433076058332	Will you permit me to suggest?
nyp.33433076058332	Will you please throw that up on the screen?
nyp.33433076058332	Wo n’t you ever learn that you can never tell how far a frog can jump by looking at it?
nyp.33433076058332	Would you feel like murder or not?
nyp.33433076058332	You do n’t suppose anything will drop through as far as we are, do you?
nyp.33433076058332	You do n’t think she was in on the deal, do you? ” “ Not for a minute.
nyp.33433076058332	You have n’t noticed any second telephone in our office, have you, Captain De Lage? ” “ A second telephone?
nyp.33433076058332	You have n’t noticed any second telephone in our office, have you, Captain De Lage? ” “ A second telephone?
nyp.33433076058332	You have seen a lot more bombs and bullets than I have, and I want to know how this looks to you. ” “ Ah, you insist?
nyp.33433076058332	You remember it, Captain De Lage? ” “ Certainly, yes.
nyp.33433076058332	You remember, monsieur? ” “ Yes, Captain.
nyp.33433076058332	You saw things dropping, did n’t you? ” “ By Jove! ” broke in the detective, whose face hitherto had worn a somewhat bored expression.
nyp.33433076058332	You under- stand that, I think? ” “ Yes, sir; of course.
nyp.33433076058332	what do you say to this, Inspector? ” He held aloft a big military revolver, in a holster.
nyp.33433076058332	what if that was a rifle ball after all, and it came from way up in the air over the top of that building?'
nyp.33433076058332	“ A clock in my office seventeen minutes out of time? ” he would have shouted.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Always wrong am I, eh?
nyp.33433076058332	“ And do you see that hole in the ledger, and that mark back there against the wall of the safe?
nyp.33433076058332	“ And that would mean that Mr. Crosby would be under suspicion, would n’t it? ” “ Of course it would.
nyp.33433076058332	“ But he did n’t have the papers in his hand when we found him there, did he?
nyp.33433076058332	“ But what do they amount to?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Did he?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Do n’t you see that the hole in the man's back is way above that at the front?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Do you see?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Feesh to fry?
nyp.33433076058332	“ How did it happen? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076058332	“ How does it look? ” asked the Inspector.
nyp.33433076058332	“ I was wondering why Mrs. Theobold did n’t hear the report of the pistol?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Jack, have you seen that thing in the evening paper about the hatpin? ”- “ Yes; but I do n’t take much stock in it.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Master Jack, do you recognize this picture? ” asked the attorney.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Monsieur tells me that the man with the big six- shooter came from that building? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Not much doubt about the murtherer now, eh, McFalcon?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Pretty a finger print as you ever saw, ai n’t it?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Señor Theobold is dead? ” “ Yes, dead as a door nail.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Theobold? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433076058332	“ What are you giving us?
nyp.33433076058332	“ What do you mean? ” “ Why, you see, there are two telephones on the table in the library.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Where did you get it? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076058332	“ Who knows the combination of the safe?
nyp.33433076058332	“ Who was in there? ” “ Secretary chap named Crosby.
nyp.33433076061989	- “ By God, Eagen, ” he squeaked, “ can you think of anything more to be done? ” I straightened my back and laughed.
nyp.33433076061989	- “ Well, sir? ” There was a hint of effort at restraint in the captain's voice.
nyp.33433076061989	- “ You saw that, eh? ” he trebled.
nyp.33433076061989	158 THE MYSTERY “ Do n’t you believe none in luck? ” asked Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	168 “ You good fellowsh, ai n't you? ”.
nyp.33433076061989	3, I think. ” “ How is that, Mr. Barnett? ” asked the captain, with lively interest.
nyp.33433076061989	30 “ Where we goin’? ” “ I brefer not to say ”.
nyp.33433076061989	After waiting a moment for something more def- inite, the falsetto inquired rather drily: “ How long?
nyp.33433076061989	Ai n't that right, boys? ” They murmured something.
nyp.33433076061989	Ai n't you never tackled him afore?
nyp.33433076061989	And she's a two- masted schooner, is n't she? ” continued Ives, insinuatingly.
nyp.33433076061989	And the devil- fires?
nyp.33433076061989	And w'at do you expect to gain?
nyp.33433076061989	And w'at good would it do?
nyp.33433076061989	And where did the gold come from then, before they discovered America?
nyp.33433076061989	And you know a heap too much. ” “ What do you want of me? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433076061989	Apologise?
nyp.33433076061989	Aérial navigation, transmutation of metals, the screening of gravity — does this sound like delirium?
nyp.33433076061989	Barnett, will you go aloft and keep me posted? ” said the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	Barnett?
nyp.33433076061989	Benzene compounds?
nyp.33433076061989	Blow high, blow low, what care we?
nyp.33433076061989	But we ai n't goin’ to pound any more cable, and you can kiss the Book on that. ” “ You mean to mutiny? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076061989	But when you come to apply it — how do you get your re- agent?
nyp.33433076061989	But who could have foretold?
nyp.33433076061989	But, why all IO2 THE MYSTERY this elaborate farce of the mock quarrel and the al- leged mistake?
nyp.33433076061989	Captain's orders? ” “ Oh, no.
nyp.33433076061989	Con- found you, why do n't you say something? ” His speech rose husky and cracked.
nyp.33433076061989	Congdon, did you see an opening anywhere in the cliff as we came along? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076061989	Could it be to guard against possible failure?
nyp.33433076061989	Dat call him all de voodoo-- a111? ” He stared wildly about in the darkness as though expecting to see the night thronged.
nyp.33433076061989	Did n't Slade say it was between here and the point? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076061989	Did n't you tell him, Mr. Barnett? ” “ Where is she, then? ” Slade fired the question at them like a cross- examiner.
nyp.33433076061989	Did n't you tell him, Mr. Barnett? ” “ Where is she, then? ” Slade fired the question at them like a cross- examiner.
nyp.33433076061989	Did the Old Man give orders to pound the cable? ” “ I represent the captain, ” I stammered.
nyp.33433076061989	Did you ever hear of vam- pires, Doctor? ” “ No, ” growled the Nigger.
nyp.33433076061989	Do you know him? ” “ Who in Kamschatka is Percy Darrow? ” de- manded Forsythe.
nyp.33433076061989	Do you know him? ” “ Who in Kamschatka is Percy Darrow? ” de- manded Forsythe.
nyp.33433076061989	Do you know there's a market for those whiskers?
nyp.33433076061989	Doctor, do you think a little of the real stuff would hurt me?
nyp.33433076061989	Eagan, do n't you want to go hunting? ” or “ Mr.
nyp.33433076061989	Enjoyed your little diversions, mates?
nyp.33433076061989	Ever know of an old hooker that was n't overrun with rats? ” “ No; nor anyone else.
nyp.33433076061989	For use?
nyp.33433076061989	Go at it. ” “ But, ” I expostulated, “ what's the use of it?
nyp.33433076061989	Has anyone a theory to Offer? ” 34 THE MYSTERY There was a dead silence.
nyp.33433076061989	Have I got to come down for it? ” With a wry face Trendon tossed up the package.
nyp.33433076061989	How about that? ” “ And the mutiny of the men, ” added the surgeon.
nyp.33433076061989	How do you know I wo n’t do it when I get back?
nyp.33433076061989	How long ago was that, anyway? ” “ Yesterday, ” replied the navigating officer.
nyp.33433076061989	How long?
nyp.33433076061989	How many thousand miles would that be? ” “ Not as far as many another derelict has wan- dered in her time, son, ” said Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	I wonder? ” cried Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	I26 THE MYSTERY “ Where's Selover? ” inquired Darrow.
nyp.33433076061989	IO6 THE MYSTERY “ Now would n't that get you? ” he squeaked.
nyp.33433076061989	In a pause Billy Edwards said musingly: “ Well, there was the Laughing Lass. ” “ How did you happen to hit on her? ” asked Bar- nett quickly.
nyp.33433076061989	In the night? ” “ What does he mean? ” cried Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	In the night? ” “ What does he mean? ” cried Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	Is that right? ” “ Day before yesterday morning. ” “ Then, ” cried the other excitedly, “ the fire was smouldering all the time.
nyp.33433076061989	It needs filling in. ” “ When may I see him? ” 262 THE MYSTERY Slade has told you how they lived on the beach.
nyp.33433076061989	It's regularly be- witched. ” “ What about the log, then? ” “ Could n't find it anywhere.
nyp.33433076061989	Just finished yesterday evening. ” “ What next? ” “ We were thinking of wrecking the Golden Horn. ” “ Quite right.
nyp.33433076061989	Just two fathoml How long would it take you to walk there?
nyp.33433076061989	Like to try it, sir? ” THE CORROSIVE I47 “ No, ” I answered gruffly.
nyp.33433076061989	Mind when we last “ cleaned her ’? ” he inquired of Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	Mr. Eagen has the right, and we signed to it all straight, to work us as he pleases; and w'at does he do?
nyp.33433076061989	Needle chased its tail like a kitten. ” “ Are there many volcanoes hereabouts? ” some- body asked.
nyp.33433076061989	Oh, quite. ” “ Do you mean us to understand that he had this power you describe? ” asked Captain Parkinson.
nyp.33433076061989	One has but to change the form, not the substance. ” “ Then it'll change coal to diamonds? ” asked Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	One night — good God, was it only last week?
nyp.33433076061989	Opening his eyes he whispered, “ The sailor?
nyp.33433076061989	Or the scholarly and urbane Robinson of Ethi- opian extraction? ” “ Dead, ” said the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	Others are n't much better. ” “ Who was to be in charge? ” “ Congdon, ” replied the doctor, naming one of the petty officers.
nyp.33433076061989	Pardon I Have I hurt you? ” He approached me almost wheedling.
nyp.33433076061989	Particu- larly on the edge of the South Seas, where they are thick|? ” “ Then what is it? ” Nobody had an answer.

nyp.33433076061989	Planted his flag and went back. ” “ Why did n't we see him on the beach, then? ” “ Did you notice a cave around to the north?

nyp.33433076061989	See here, anything crooked in this? ” “ No, no!
nyp.33433076061989	Seen it before. ” “ Where? ” queried Carter.
nyp.33433076061989	She was a tough cus- tomer, too. ” “ What was she? ” asked Ives.
nyp.33433076061989	THE NEW YORK?
nyp.33433076061989	THE TWELVE REPEATING RIFLES 87 harmless little toy to burn black powder, do n't she? ” he remarked.
nyp.33433076061989	That seems a simple enough proposition, does it not?
nyp.33433076061989	That's all the rec- ord of her that there is. ” “ Was that Ralph Slade? ” asked Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	The Marie Celeste. ” “ Got what?
nyp.33433076061989	The substance of the rocks, the molecule — all! ”- “ Could a man make diamonds? ” asked Pulz ab- ruptly.
nyp.33433076061989	Their interest in this fact seemed to me excessive, so I killed one of them, and here I am. ” “ And who are you? ” they could ask.
nyp.33433076061989	Then, breaking his own rule of repression, he asked: “ Did he come off the schooner with you? ” “ Picked him up, ” was the straining answer.
nyp.33433076061989	There ai n't no officers and men ashore — is there, now, sir?
nyp.33433076061989	There was a struggle for utterance, then: “ The volcano? ” he rasped out.
nyp.33433076061989	This must be performed with extreme care owing to the unstable nature of the benzene com- pounds. ” “ Picric acid?
nyp.33433076061989	Trendon, are you all right? ” he shouted.
nyp.33433076061989	Trendon, will you see Mr. Slade and inquire of him the best point for landing? ” Trendon hesitated.
nyp.33433076061989	WRECKING OF THE “ GoLDEN HORN? ”.
nyp.33433076061989	Want any advance money? ” 7o THE MYSTERY “ No, ” I replied; then I remembered that I was sup- posed to be broke.
nyp.33433076061989	We better get out. ” “ Without the chest? ” “ S'pose we go up the gulch and get it, then, ” sug- gested Thrackles.
nyp.33433076061989	Well “ Did I say that I was sometimes annoyed by the doctor's attitude?
nyp.33433076061989	What about her? ” “ Parallel case, ” said Trendon.
nyp.33433076061989	What care we?
nyp.33433076061989	What care we?
nyp.33433076061989	What care we?
nyp.33433076061989	What care we?
nyp.33433076061989	What do you think, Doc? ” “ Humph! ” grunted the veteran.
nyp.33433076061989	What for?
nyp.33433076061989	What had I accomplished?
nyp.33433076061989	What have three dozen undershirts to do with this? ” “ A memorandum for outfitting, probably, ” sug- gested the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	What have you been doing? ” “ We ’ve been cleaning ship.
nyp.33433076061989	What more do you want? ” stood undecided.
nyp.33433076061989	What to?
nyp.33433076061989	What's this?
nyp.33433076061989	Where is Billy Edwards? ” “ Never heard of him, ” whispered the other.
nyp.33433076061989	Where iss Percy? ” “ He ’s gone aboard. ” “ We must embark.
nyp.33433076061989	Where was the confidence in the might of his two hands?
nyp.33433076061989	Where's the captain? ” They growled something about there being nothing to do, and explained that the captain preferred to live aboard.
nyp.33433076061989	Where? ” “ Dead, ” said Trendon bluntly.
nyp.33433076061989	Who are you, anyway? ” “ I am Dr. Schermerhorn, ” the latter answered.
nyp.33433076061989	Who could know that a crumble of island beach and six months ashore would turn him into what he had become?
nyp.33433076061989	Who is he? ” The man's eyes closed, but he smiled a little — a sin- gular, wry- mouthed, winning smile.
nyp.33433076061989	Why do n't you kill a few bull seal for the “ trimmings ’? ” “ Nothin'to do with a voodoo? ” grunted Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	Why do n't you kill a few bull seal for the “ trimmings ’? ” “ Nothin'to do with a voodoo? ” grunted Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	Why should they desire to do so?
nyp.33433076061989	Why should you be? ” “ Well, ” returned the other contemplatively, “ it really might be regarded as a subject for investiga- tion.
nyp.33433076061989	Why?
nyp.33433076061989	Why? ” He drew his powerful figure to its height and spread his thick arms out in the luxury of stretching.
nyp.33433076061989	Would you have me kill the man with questions? ” He left them to look at the body of the bo's'n's mate.
nyp.33433076061989	W’at I want to know is, wat's up here, anyhow! ” “ Did n't you never see a volcano go off, you swab? ” snapped Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	Yet what could I say?
nyp.33433076061989	You did n't find any of the others? ” “ None. ” Darrow got to his feet.
nyp.33433076061989	You do n't make no doubt of that, do you, sir? ” The man spoke in a hushed voice, with a shrinking glance back of him.
nyp.33433076061989	You may have noted the rather excited scrawl in the back of the ledger?
nyp.33433076061989	You remember the vampire bats, Slade?
nyp.33433076061989	You saw it? ” “ Yes; we saw a strange light, ” answered Trendon soothingly.
nyp.33433076061989	You see?
nyp.33433076061989	and against whom should I warn them?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Ai n’t you got a reason, Doctor? ” asked Handy Solomon.
nyp.33433076061989	“ And now that you ’re here, w'at are you going to do?
nyp.33433076061989	“ And take the risk of getting a hole punched in our pretty paint, with her running amuck that way?
nyp.33433076061989	“ And what are those two bird- roosts on it? ” asked Trendon.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Anything new? ” asked Dr. Trendon.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Are n't you afraid he'll bring down the police and delay your sailing? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Are you in trouble? ” asked the cruiser, and waited.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Are you sure? ” THE CASTAWAYS| 4I “ I can see only one man's face, sir.
nyp.33433076061989	“ But how about pestilence? ” suggested Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	“ But why does n't he answer? ” “ Better try again.
nyp.33433076061989	“ But — you say you saw the light again? ” “ The first night they were out, ” said Barnett, in a low voice.
nyp.33433076061989	“ By the way, Eagen, have you noticed those big bats the last few evenings, over by the cliff?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Can you give me any news of my friend Thrackles? ” asked Darrow lightly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Dead?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Did anyone ever see a show like that before?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Did you hear him speak my name — or am I dreaming? ” he half whispered.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Did you notice the two men who were sitting at the middle table? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Do I understand that I am under restraint? ” he asked stiffly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Do n’t you believe it? ” “ Hold on, ” said the surgeon quietly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Do you know where you are going? ” he in- quired at length.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Do you make out anyone aboard? ” “ No, sir, ” came the answer.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Do you think it's her? ” A buzz of electric interest went around the group.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Do you think we were a pack of cowards?
nyp.33433076061989	“ German l ’ ” he cried, in a note of disappointment, “ Can you read German script? ” “ After a fashion, ” replied the other.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Going for a little walk, sir? ” asked Handy Solo- mon sweetly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Have n’t you worked us hard enough? ” I in- quired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Have you any ques- tions to put to me, sir? ” he asked formally.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Hazed him to his quarters with a belaying pin. ” “ Well, that's all settled then, is n't it?
nyp.33433076061989	“ He ’s had enough. ” “ Had enough, has he? ” screeched the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How can I tell?
nyp.33433076061989	“ How can you tell that? ” asked Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How do you know I wo n’t blow on Lieutenant or Ensign Ralph Slade, U. S. N., when I get back? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How do you know? ” demanded Forsythe.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How far is it to the side of the ship, you hound of hell? ” shrieked the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How long had poor Timmins been drowned? ” the captain had asked him, and Trendon replied: “ Captain Parkinson, the man was n't drowned.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How long would you guess that craft to be? ” They were now within a mile of the schooner.
nyp.33433076061989	“ How many of these damn things we got? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ I hope as how you're getting on well there above, sir? ” ventured Handy Solomon insinuatingly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ I suppose it would hardly do to take him with us? ” pursued the commanding officer.
nyp.33433076061989	“ I ’d swear to her in Constantinople. ” “ What else could she be? ” muttered Forsythe.
nyp.33433076061989	“ If he's here why do n’t he show himself? ” The other shook his head.
nyp.33433076061989	“ If we do n't do something soon we may have trouble with the men. ’ “ ‘ So? ” said he in surprise.
nyp.33433076061989	“ If you'll lay us our course to San Salvador, we'll let you go as one of us and no questions asked. ” “ If not? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Is n’t she in tow? ” “ In tow? ” said Forsythe.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Is n’t she in tow? ” “ In tow? ” said Forsythe.
nyp.33433076061989	“ It was n't vol- canic. ” “ Why so? ” asked the paymaster.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Kin I carry th ’ box for you, boss? ” he asked, at the same time reaching for it.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Know last year's output from the mines of Ophir, Thrackles? ” he inquired in silky tones.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Know them? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Mutiny, would you? ” he shrilled.
nyp.33433076061989	“ No; pestilence does n't work that way. ” “ Did you look at the wheel, Billy? ” asked Ives.
nyp.33433076061989	“ North Dakota? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Nothing crooked about this? ” he breathed softly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Of the Laughing Lass? ” cried Trendon.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Or the esteemed Pulz?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Pack of human interrogation points hounding him all over the place. ” “ What do you think of his story? ” asked For- sythe.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Plain desertion, or something worse? ” THE BARBARY COAST 69 I remained inscrutable.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Quien sabe? ” shrugged he.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Remember that wide, empty deck forward?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Scared, Billy? ” said Ives.
nyp.33433076061989	“ She ’s a small boat, ” came in the clear tones of the lookout, “ driftin ’ down. ” “ Anyone in her? ” asked Carter.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Ship's lights three points on the starboard quarter. ” “ What do you make it out to be? ” came the query from below.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Supposing you do n't catch it? ” “ Well, supposing I do n't. ” “ It ’s dynamite, is n't it? ” “ Something of the same nature.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Supposing you do n't catch it? ” “ Well, supposing I do n't. ” “ It ’s dynamite, is n't it? ” “ Something of the same nature.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Tackel Old Scrubs, will ye?
nyp.33433076061989	“ That fellow's got an imagination. ” “ Ca n't you describe it better than that? ” called Carter.
nyp.33433076061989	“ The other cave! ” “ What other cave? ” asked the surgeon.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Think the place is going to blow up? ” he inquired, with a tinge of irony.
nyp.33433076061989	“ This is the Wolverine. ” “ Where's the Laughing Lass? ” Barnett shook his head.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Thought out any clue, doctor? ” asked the first officer.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Up that hole of hell? ” he objected.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Volcanic? ” he said.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Volcano in eruption. ”- “ And the other? ” asked the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Voodoos? ” he said.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Well, what is it? ” demanded Captain Parkinson.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Well, where are we bound, anyway? ” The dirty, unkempt, dishevelled figure stiffened.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Well? ” “ You ’ll find my story highly unsatisfactory in de- tail, I fancy.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What could there be to involve him? ” asked Mc- Guire.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What did you do? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What do you mean, sir? ” asked Edwards eagerly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433076061989	“ What does this mean? ” He menaced them one after another with his eyes, and one after another they quailed.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What for, sir? ” inquired the assistant.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What he like? ” asked the Nigger gravely.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What is it to us? ” He threw the cover back.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What is it, then, Doctor? ” he asked softly at last.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What is this ship, and where is she bound? ” I asked, with equal simplicity.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What is your opinion now, Dr. Trendon? ” asked the captain of the older man.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What kind of hell has broke loose? ” muttered Pulz.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What ship is that? ” No answer.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What was it? ” he murmured.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What you want, Doctor? ” they demanded of the silent Nigger.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What's his name? ” he inquired of the journalist.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What's our port? ” I asked, to test him.
nyp.33433076061989	“ What's wrong with him? ” “ The schooner.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Where are we? ” he asked Barnett.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Where did they come from? ” “ Golden Horn, ” I suggested.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Where did you ever ship? ” I handed him my certificate.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Where is the Laughing Lass? ” IN THE WARDROOM 2I5 “ I ’d give something pretty to know, ” said Bar- nett.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Where's your man? ” “ Right here, ” said I.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Who's your relief? ” “ Sennett. ” “ Let him take your place.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why do n't you say something?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why not, sir?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why not? ” demanded Pulz, breaking his silence.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why should he want to? ” I demanded sharply.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why, blast it, was the man running a haberdashery?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why? ” he repeated, exhaling abruptly.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076061989	“ Will you come ashore and have a look, sir? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Will you go aboard under Mr. Ives? ” “ Anywhere my officer goes I'll go, and gladly, Sir. ”- Ives was sent aboard in charge.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Wonder how the old doctor is getting on? ” ventured Thrackles, after a while.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Would a corpse rise to the surface soon in waters such as these, Dr. Trendon? ” asked the captain.
nyp.33433076061989	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Is there any reason why you do not wish to go? ” The man hesitated, looking miserable.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You are the mate? ” he drawled.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You chaps are getting lazy, ” said he, “ why do n't you do something?
nyp.33433076061989	“ You do n’t believe it? ” drawled the assistant turning to him.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You haf dem finished? ” the doctor's voice in- quired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You have a gun, of course? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You have heard his? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You know it? ” asked the captain, expectant of a clue.
nyp.33433076061989	“ You poor swabs'Forgot who was your captain, did ye?
nyp.33433076061989	“ Your man, Edwards — the crew — they left her?
nyp.33433076061989	“ ’ llo boys, ” said he appealingly, “ you good fel- lowsh, ai n't you?
nyp.33433082174651	A voice like a god, eh?
nyp.33433082174651	Agreeing for the moment that these stories will be the tools of Armiston's hero in real life some day, how about the popular magazines? nyp.33433082174651 Am I,"he continued,"to have the honor of shaking the hands of the gentlemen?
nyp.33433082174651	And a voice like a god?
nyp.33433082174651	And this man?
nyp.33433082174651	Are not you in mortal fear of robbery with all of this wealth?
nyp.33433082174651	Are you familiar,he asked,"with this man Armiston's work?
nyp.33433082174651	Are you indeed Godahl?
nyp.33433082174651	But who could come seven stories up in the air and get away with stuff of this bulk?
nyp.33433082174651	Can you figure it?
nyp.33433082174651	Did you get a good view of her?
nyp.33433082174651	Did you leave your purse at home or was your pocket picked?
nyp.33433082174651	Did you notice her cane?
nyp.33433082174651	Do you mean to say this is J. Borden Benson?
nyp.33433082174651	Do you mean to say you do n't know why he did n't show up this evening?
nyp.33433082174651	Do you think I have nothing better to do than to devote my time to your failures? nyp.33433082174651 Does it hurt?"
nyp.33433082174651	For Mr. Armiston? nyp.33433082174651 God?
nyp.33433082174651	Half a million?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you any idea who the man was I met on the train?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you any rubies?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you ever heard of Mrs.. Billy Went- worth?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you ever, by any chance, been in the Straits?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you never, then, been visited by thieves?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you read this last one then?
nyp.33433082174651	How did you hit on this as the receptacle for the white ruby?
nyp.33433082174651	How did you know that?
nyp.33433082174651	How do you figure it?
nyp.33433082174651	How does he get his plots?
nyp.33433082174651	How then?
nyp.33433082174651	I am a marvelous man — eh, friend Godahl?
nyp.33433082174651	I suppose that means nothing to you, Mr. Marvin Scott?
nyp.33433082174651	In just what way? nyp.33433082174651 In, you say?"
nyp.33433082174651	Is it true that occasionally they are found white?
nyp.33433082174651	Is this the third degree?
nyp.33433082174651	It really does exist then?
nyp.33433082174651	May I be permitted to suggest the filet de sole, M'sieu Godahl?
nyp.33433082174651	Mulligan,he said, addressing a man packing a kit on the opposite side of the room,"did I hear ye was sent down already?"
nyp.33433082174651	No?
nyp.33433082174651	Telfen? nyp.33433082174651 Tell me, my observing friend — who counts the tumblers of a lock from the out- side — do these doors open in or out?"
nyp.33433082174651	The corridor? nyp.33433082174651 Then you must surely have seen her white ruby?"
nyp.33433082174651	What are you two doing in this neck of the woods? nyp.33433082174651 What do you think of it?"
nyp.33433082174651	What is all this stuff?
nyp.33433082174651	What is it?
nyp.33433082174651	What kind of a looking man was this Benson?
nyp.33433082174651	What the deuce are you doing in this mess?
nyp.33433082174651	What was the exact hour the first switch- board went off?
nyp.33433082174651	What would a few hundred thousand dollars in gold bonds more or less have meant to the old lady anyway?
nyp.33433082174651	What's it worth?
nyp.33433082174651	What's it worth?
nyp.33433082174651	What's that?
nyp.33433082174651	What's your idea?
nyp.33433082174651	What?
nyp.33433082174651	Where did it come from? nyp.33433082174651 Where?"
nyp.33433082174651	Who owns it?
nyp.33433082174651	Who the devil are you?
nyp.33433082174651	Why not look in the Rogues'Gallery for this man who befriended me on the train?
nyp.33433082174651	Why?
nyp.33433082174651	Will you? nyp.33433082174651 Worth?
nyp.33433082174651	Would you like to meet him? nyp.33433082174651 You are about to parade there — eh?"
nyp.33433082174651	You are not of the police, then — or with au- thority to detain me?
nyp.33433082174651	You challenge him?
nyp.33433082174651	You really do n't know?
nyp.33433082174651	You speak no French? nyp.33433082174651 A million?
nyp.33433082174651	A white ruby?"
nyp.33433082174651	And then:"Well, how did you know it was the same one?"
nyp.33433082174651	And what was the meaning of the strange actions of his friend Johanssen when approached on the subject in this house?
nyp.33433082174651	And why not?
nyp.33433082174651	And why not?"
nyp.33433082174651	Are you going in my direction?
nyp.33433082174651	Are you interested in rare curios?
nyp.33433082174651	Are you quite sure about the doors opening in?
nyp.33433082174651	Benson's face broke into a wreath of wrinkles:"Do you know him?
nyp.33433082174651	But how was Godahl to get into this wonderful room where the countess had hidden this wonderful rare white ruby?
nyp.33433082174651	But why had Malvino picked him?
nyp.33433082174651	But,"he said with a wave of his hands,"what is the result?
nyp.33433082174651	By whom?
nyp.33433082174651	Ca n't you"Then another voice — that of Saunders:"Steady — I've got him?
nyp.33433082174651	Did not the reading pub-[ 216] AN ALL- STAR CAST lie know this Godahl as one of the institutions of the town?
nyp.33433082174651	Did she really possess the white ruby?
nyp.33433082174651	Did the policeman happen to have the names of the drivers?
nyp.33433082174651	Did this man Benson know anything about the white ruby?
nyp.33433082174651	Do you happen to have the correct time, officer?"
nyp.33433082174651	Do you see the point?
nyp.33433082174651	Does the American nation make new money especially for such as these?
nyp.33433082174651	Dol- lars and cents?
nyp.33433082174651	Godahl, my friend, you are at leisure?
nyp.33433082174651	Godahl?"
nyp.33433082174651	Handy, is n't it?
nyp.33433082174651	Has Godahl ever cracked a nut like that?
nyp.33433082174651	Have you ever heard of a white ruby?"
nyp.33433082174651	He must be a very rich man now — eh?
nyp.33433082174651	How can this be accomplished?
nyp.33433082174651	How could he get the gold out of it?"
nyp.33433082174651	How did you find out about that infernal contraption that killed the confederate?"
nyp.33433082174651	How many people have entered this room since it was made the storehouse of all this wealth?"
nyp.33433082174651	How much does Armiston get for his stories?"
nyp.33433082174651	How much remained?
nyp.33433082174651	How much was gone?
nyp.33433082174651	How the deuce do you suppose that tube ever got there?"
nyp.33433082174651	I needed only this to prove that my sys- tem Telfen, did you say?
nyp.33433082174651	I suppose all of them knocked off for the day with a clean shower?"
nyp.33433082174651	In the first place,"he cried, seizing the refiner by the arm and twisting his hand above his head,"what is the matter with your hands?"
nyp.33433082174651	Is there any message I can take to him, sir?
nyp.33433082174651	Is there the color blue here?
nyp.33433082174651	Is there?"
nyp.33433082174651	It all amounts to the same thing, do n't you see?
nyp.33433082174651	It is empty — yes?
nyp.33433082174651	May I look at the door?"
nyp.33433082174651	My friend, if you steal from me, and I reclaim by force that which is mine, is that injustice?
nyp.33433082174651	My man, did you by any chance think that you were playing with a baby when you under- took to scrutinize the mail of Wellington Mapes?
nyp.33433082174651	No?
nyp.33433082174651	Now these fifty little millionaires, friend Godahl — are they all like the three who come to me in my hotel?
nyp.33433082174651	Old Telfen, eh?
nyp.33433082174651	Ready?"
nyp.33433082174651	Saunders, of Texas Union?
nyp.33433082174651	Sit down and live on his income?
nyp.33433082174651	Strongroom?
nyp.33433082174651	Tell me — what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433082174651	Tell me — you know the lake shore in that city of Chicago?"
nyp.33433082174651	Tell me, have you ever heard of such a thing as a white ruby?"
nyp.33433082174651	Tell me, who among you had the wit to trace Mapes here after he doubled on you?
nyp.33433082174651	Tell me, why is blue so cool?
nyp.33433082174651	That is the natural develop- ment of this man Godahl, eh?"
nyp.33433082174651	The Pegasus Club?
nyp.33433082174651	The devil to pay — eh?"
nyp.33433082174651	Then whom, pray, have I been taking tea with in this room — not ten minutes ago?"
nyp.33433082174651	Thus,"he cried, his teeth glowing at the circle of faces before him—"Thus am I to take away that which is mine — is it not?"
nyp.33433082174651	Took his pick?
nyp.33433082174651	We are pass- ing it at this moment — eh?
nyp.33433082174651	What did he do?
nyp.33433082174651	What do you mean by worth?
nyp.33433082174651	What do you mean?"
nyp.33433082174651	What does he do?
nyp.33433082174651	What does he do?
nyp.33433082174651	What does he have to say for himself?
nyp.33433082174651	What is a safe place?
nyp.33433082174651	What is money to you?
nyp.33433082174651	What is that collection of pipes?"
nyp.33433082174651	What is your child worth to you?
nyp.33433082174651	What the devil is the matter with you mutts any- way?
nyp.33433082174651	What would you do?"
nyp.33433082174651	What?
nyp.33433082174651	What?
nyp.33433082174651	Where has she gone?"
nyp.33433082174651	Where is it?
nyp.33433082174651	Who said the Lane?
nyp.33433082174651	Who told you to do it?
nyp.33433082174651	Who walked through Ludwig Telfen's strongroom and took his pick of what he found there while you were chopping the cables with your infernal shears?
nyp.33433082174651	Who was he?"
nyp.33433082174651	Who was it?
nyp.33433082174651	Who was she?"
nyp.33433082174651	Why did not this thief, who was willing to go to all the trouble to get the white ruby, take some of the jewels?
nyp.33433082174651	Why had Malvino confided in him at all?
nyp.33433082174651	Why is he deaf?
nyp.33433082174651	Why need I go over it all again?"
nyp.33433082174651	Why pay for an orchestra chair to witness his feats of legerdemain?
nyp.33433082174651	Will you not, my friend?
nyp.33433082174651	Without waiting for Armiston to answer, Jo- hanssen went on:"I know a man You say this man you met on the train had wonderful hands, did he not?
nyp.33433082174651	Would he play with light and darkness?

nyp.33433082174651	You promise?
nyp.33433082174651	You saw that?"
nyp.33433082174651	You understand?
nyp.33433082174651	You will go to sea with me next summer and tell me about it — eh?
nyp.33433082174651	You will not be there when I am there?"
nyp.33433082174651	You will par- don me, wo n't you?"

nyp.33433082174651	cried Godahl warmly; and to himself:"What does he drive at?"
nyp.33433082174651	he asked bluntly, turning to his companions who had sprung to his side when he exclaimed:"Is it gold?"
nyp.33433082174651	man, are you so stupid?
nyp.33433076051832	Absolutely,she said steadily,"Why?"

nyp.33433076051832	Do you suppose I can stand by and see my host robbed?
nyp.33433076051832	Do you think I tried to do that?
nyp.33433076051832	Do you think we'd say anything to anyone about it?
nyp.33433076051832	Do you want to go?
nyp.33433076051832	Does it?
nyp.33433076051832	Does the name of William, Prince of Misselbach, mean anything to you?
nyp.33433076051832	For what reason do you suppose I buy a Lion car and a chauffeur if not to do what my other auto- mobiles and chauffeurs can not do? nyp.33433076051832 Given away a place like that?"
nyp.33433076051832	Had any luck?
nyp.33433076051832	Has anyone missed anything?
nyp.33433076051832	Has n't he told you?
nyp.33433076051832	Have I no right to that?
nyp.33433076051832	Have n't you got any romance in you, Simpkins?
nyp.33433076051832	Have you another match?
nyp.33433076051832	Have you thought that I shall certainly pursue you and assuredly capture you?
nyp.33433076051832	Have you thought what difference it will make to me?
nyp.33433076051832	He entertains a great deal then?
nyp.33433076051832	He has an accomplice you think, Excellency?
nyp.33433076051832	He is funny, this new chauffeur from London is he not Pauline?
nyp.33433076051832	He's down in Cornwall with the Earl, I suppose?
nyp.33433076051832	Honestly would n't you rather play golf? nyp.33433076051832 How can I be certain?"
nyp.33433076051832	How can I have any idea?
nyp.33433076051832	How do you know he is still in London?
nyp.33433076051832	How does he look?
nyp.33433076051832	How is it the door is open?
nyp.33433076051832	How is it you are here and not at your work?
nyp.33433076051832	How much of it do you own?
nyp.33433076051832	How?
nyp.33433076051832	I bring danger on myself in giving it to you but I can rely on your silence, eh?
nyp.33433076051832	I did n't think it in the beginning and I do n't want to do so now, but what was one to think?
nyp.33433076051832	I suppose you are hinting that I did it?
nyp.33433076051832	I want to find out,Trent said,"could you give me a letter of introduction?"
nyp.33433076051832	I wonder if you know how many William Smiths and John Smiths are lying in France and Flanders with little wooden crosses over them?
nyp.33433076051832	If I take them off will you give me your parole d'honneur to make no effort to escape?
nyp.33433076051832	If not why are you down here hounding my brother?
nyp.33433076051832	If you did not come here to speak for Count Michael, may I ask then for what purpose?
nyp.33433076051832	Is Pauline the daughter?
nyp.33433076051832	Is he?
nyp.33433076051832	Is hinting the right word?
nyp.33433076051832	Is it also his car?
nyp.33433076051832	Is it possible,the count said slowly,"that you fail to understand your position?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is it wise?
nyp.33433076051832	Is n't this the young man who had the presump- tion to outdrive me forty yards every time we stepped to a tee?
nyp.33433076051832	Is the count a politician?
nyp.33433076051832	It was Arthur's fault, was n't it?
nyp.33433076051832	Just a guess,Trent said calmly,"Was n't I right?
nyp.33433076051832	Me drive a Lion?
nyp.33433076051832	Me?
nyp.33433076051832	Much better for you I've no doubt,said Gren- vil idly,"If one may ask it, what sort of work did you do?"
nyp.33433076051832	Murdered?
nyp.33433076051832	Must he know?
nyp.33433076051832	My dear man,Trent cried in apparent surprise,"Deny it?
nyp.33433076051832	Of course he was rotting?
nyp.33433076051832	One moment, sir,said a policeman restraining him,"what's the meaning of this?"
nyp.33433076051832	Perhaps he made certain confessions to me —"To you also?
nyp.33433076051832	Shall I drive you back?
nyp.33433076051832	Since when?
nyp.33433076051832	So he ran away from danger?
nyp.33433076051832	So they keep a lot of company up there?
nyp.33433076051832	So you were in the big thing?
nyp.33433076051832	Tell me, did you ever hear of Anthony Trent?
nyp.33433076051832	Tell me, did you see the engineer about this?
nyp.33433076051832	Tell me, which is the real you?
nyp.33433076051832	That means you are married, eh?
nyp.33433076051832	That's what Daphne says,Arthur answered,"Is n't she splendid?"
nyp.33433076051832	The Chancellor of the Exchequer?
nyp.33433076051832	The Duchess is rather that way inclined, is n't she?
nyp.33433076051832	The guv'nor?
nyp.33433076051832	The horse that was stolen?
nyp.33433076051832	The lords and ladies?
nyp.33433076051832	The other man who failed — what did he go as?
nyp.33433076051832	Then if you do, why do n't you resent my butting in like this? nyp.33433076051832 Then is n't the chance worth taking?"
nyp.33433076051832	Then the colonel knew him?
nyp.33433076051832	Then we are to starve to death without an effort?
nyp.33433076051832	Then where are we?
nyp.33433076051832	Then where is Private Smith?
nyp.33433076051832	Then why must you go away?
nyp.33433076051832	Then you deny ever having seen me until we met by the salmon pool a few days ago?
nyp.33433076051832	Then you know all about him?
nyp.33433076051832	Then you'll stop here all night?
nyp.33433076051832	To walk into ambush outside?
nyp.33433076051832	Very well,Anthony Trent answered,"Why?"
nyp.33433076051832	Was Rudolph Castoon one of them?
nyp.33433076051832	Was he badly hurt?
nyp.33433076051832	Was,Trent repeated,"What is it now?"
nyp.33433076051832	Well?
nyp.33433076051832	Were you?
nyp.33433076051832	What about the roads?
nyp.33433076051832	What are those marks on your face?
nyp.33433076051832	What are you doing here, then?
nyp.33433076051832	What are you doing in my house?
nyp.33433076051832	What did he do after he jumped?
nyp.33433076051832	What do I go down to Fiume for?
nyp.33433076051832	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433076051832	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433076051832	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076051832	What else could they be?
nyp.33433076051832	What happened,she said at last,"when you came to after being blown from that dug- out?"
nyp.33433076051832	What have you done that he sent for you?
nyp.33433076051832	What is it?
nyp.33433076051832	What is my position?
nyp.33433076051832	What is strange in that?
nyp.33433076051832	What is the fate of ashes tossed to the four winds?
nyp.33433076051832	What is the other alternative?
nyp.33433076051832	What is this I hear?
nyp.33433076051832	What is this you say?
nyp.33433076051832	What is your wage?
nyp.33433076051832	What makes you say that?
nyp.33433076051832	What makes you so cheerful?
nyp.33433076051832	What matters that? nyp.33433076051832 What other people are there here you know?"
nyp.33433076051832	What shall I do?
nyp.33433076051832	What thieves?
nyp.33433076051832	What was the big car on the aisle opposite us at the show?
nyp.33433076051832	What? nyp.33433076051832 What?"
nyp.33433076051832	When and where?
nyp.33433076051832	When do you go?
nyp.33433076051832	Where am I?
nyp.33433076051832	Where are you taking me?
nyp.33433076051832	Where can I get a horse?
nyp.33433076051832	Where did you learn to play golf like that?
nyp.33433076051832	Where is it?
nyp.33433076051832	Where is it?
nyp.33433076051832	Where is it?
nyp.33433076051832	Which is?
nyp.33433076051832	Who are you?
nyp.33433076051832	Who dares call me a coward?
nyp.33433076051832	Who has dared to strike you?
nyp.33433076051832	Who is Pauline?
nyp.33433076051832	Who is Pauline?
nyp.33433076051832	Who is this man Trent?
nyp.33433076051832	Who is to judge of the importance of the infor- mation?
nyp.33433076051832	Who was Bingo?
nyp.33433076051832	Who was the mysterious man?
nyp.33433076051832	Who will be foreign secretary if you refuse it?
nyp.33433076051832	Who would be able to tell me?
nyp.33433076051832	Why did n't the guv'nor biff him one same as he does you when he's mad?
nyp.33433076051832	Why did you stay here so long?
nyp.33433076051832	Why did you take a certain document from my pocket and leave much money? nyp.33433076051832 Why do you fence with me at a time like this?"
nyp.33433076051832	Why do you go away?
nyp.33433076051832	Why do you say that?
nyp.33433076051832	Why do you stay here?
nyp.33433076051832	Why does a squadron of destroyers stay so long in Fiume?
nyp.33433076051832	Why is it unknown to me you bring my servant to play with you?
nyp.33433076051832	Why not?
nyp.33433076051832	Why not?
nyp.33433076051832	Why should I say that?
nyp.33433076051832	Why should there be another when I have already succeeded?
nyp.33433076051832	Will you come to the point, sir?
nyp.33433076051832	With'orses?
nyp.33433076051832	Would it be too much to ask the reason?
nyp.33433076051832	Yes,she said,"but what chance shall we have to talk there?"
nyp.33433076051832	You are a detective?
nyp.33433076051832	You are certain?
nyp.33433076051832	You are not really going?
nyp.33433076051832	You are surprised to see me?
nyp.33433076051832	You are trying to make a bargain with me?
nyp.33433076051832	You do n't mean he might hit me?
nyp.33433076051832	You do n't want to detain me, then?
nyp.33433076051832	You give me the word of a man of noble birth?
nyp.33433076051832	You have never lilted me,she returned,"Why?"
nyp.33433076051832	You have often been in danger?
nyp.33433076051832	You imagine, then, that William Smith is pen- niless, is that it?
nyp.33433076051832	You mean you do n't want to threaten him or hold your knowledge of what he did over us?
nyp.33433076051832	You mean,Trent snapped,"you let them mur- der a man who was probably tied as I am tied now?"
nyp.33433076051832	You rate your powers so highly then?
nyp.33433076051832	You think I should have a special chauffeur then? nyp.33433076051832 You would put this outrage on me?"
nyp.33433076051832	You've no idea I suppose?
nyp.33433076051832	You,he cried,"Who are you?
nyp.33433076051832	You,said the count peremptorily,"can you drive a car like this Lion?"
nyp.33433076051832	'You mean,"Trent said sharply,"that you will not give me his real name and address?"
nyp.33433076051832	-- Chapter Three THE BEGINNING OF THE SEARCH"You?"

nyp.33433076051832	56 THE SECRET OF THE SILVER CAR"Is n't your neuralgia better?"
nyp.33433076051832	8 THE SECRET OF THE SILVER CAR"So you admit,"he said genially,"that this mys- terious Anthony Trent needs a defender?"
nyp.33433076051832	A well trained thunder storm Hentzi, eh?"
nyp.33433076051832	And if so, why had he engaged Alfred Anthony with so little investigation?
nyp.33433076051832	And if there should come a time when he were free from the ever haunting fear of arrest might there not be the fulfilment of his dearest wishes?
nyp.33433076051832	And then?"
nyp.33433076051832	Anthony Trent said,"What of it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Anything else you saw?"
nyp.33433076051832	Are all your noble- men of Croatia as cautious as he?"
nyp.33433076051832	Are you afraid?
nyp.33433076051832	Before it is too late and you are gone away, are you sure this thing that stands between us can not be banished or atoned or paid for in money?
nyp.33433076051832	Being a woman you are interested in mys- teries that have a beautiful society girl as their heroine of course?"
nyp.33433076051832	But all the time he said to himself,"why need he have been afraid of me?"
nyp.33433076051832	But what was she doing here?
nyp.33433076051832	But why should the father who knew all and had forgiven suddenly throw this look of hate over the table at the uncon- scious son?
nyp.33433076051832	By the way who is prime minister now?"
nyp.33433076051832	By the way,"he said later,"Do you know the Grenvils well?"
nyp.33433076051832	Ca n't Malta get on without you a little?
nyp.33433076051832	Ca n't you see I want to sit here alone and think?
nyp.33433076051832	Can I get it for you?"
nyp.33433076051832	Can not you see that you have mixed yourself in high matters and are a menace to Count Michael?
nyp.33433076051832	Can you get into the garage?"
nyp.33433076051832	Colliver cried peevishly,"Why ca n't a man wear a passable ring and stickpin without it at- tracting the attention of other people?"
nyp.33433076051832	Conway Parker gets away with it, why should n't you?'"
nyp.33433076051832	Could you try and remember as much about him as possible?"
nyp.33433076051832	DOWN TO THE SEA 243"You mean he will give up the attempt?"
nyp.33433076051832	DOWN TO THE SEA 259"Who told you that?"
nyp.33433076051832	Dare you confess it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Dare you invite notice of it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Did she, he wondered, come in peace or in war?
nyp.33433076051832	Did you get in the big show by any chance?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do n't you notice how heavy the air is?
nyp.33433076051832	Do n't you see I only want to be sure that he wo n't use what I told him?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do you deny it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do you mind seeing if it is of importance?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do you need more than that, you, who cast aspersions on the courage of others?
nyp.33433076051832	Do you object to that?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do you sleep well?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do you think he has any idea you are interested in the com- pany?"
nyp.33433076051832	Do you think you will be there to aid him when he is my prisoner again?"
nyp.33433076051832	Had you anything at the back of your mind when you spoke about my being in a tight place or needing help?"
nyp.33433076051832	Have you done things you're ashamed of?
nyp.33433076051832	He explained the slang,"I mean if you wrote a letter to the manager asking that I be given certain powers would he honor it?"
nyp.33433076051832	He had been dug out of his tomb for what?
nyp.33433076051832	He had tried to believe that he still stood 264 THE SECRET OF THE SILVER CAR"I am to be murdered?"
nyp.33433076051832	Her face fell,"But what am I to do with it?
nyp.33433076051832	How can I chide them if, knowing their lord is in peril, they seek to remove it?"
nyp.33433076051832	How did you meet him?"
nyp.33433076051832	How many quarterings of nobility have you Mademoi- selle Pauline?"
nyp.33433076051832	How much can I save from the wreck?'
nyp.33433076051832	How was Trent to know that Sutton the adjutant was financially secure enough to make the sacrifice?
nyp.33433076051832	I do not think you understand world politics, eh?"
nyp.33433076051832	I wonder if you knew him?"
nyp.33433076051832	I?
nyp.33433076051832	If Arthur Grenvil chose to command him to do so and share the proceeds what could he do?
nyp.33433076051832	In confidence, is there anything fishy about this Anthony Trent?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is it asking very much that you leave me here alone?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is it possible you are afraid?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is someone blackmailing him?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is that it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is that it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is that right so far?"
nyp.33433076051832	Is there any- thing odd in that?
nyp.33433076051832	It can not be such a great triumph to see me in this cell?"
nyp.33433076051832	It is untrue?"
nyp.33433076051832	Lord Rosecarrel asked,"And you remember ANTHONY PLAYS HIS HAND 189 poor Piers Edgcomb the best fencer in Europe, a man with nerves of steel?

nyp.33433076051832	May I ask your name and rank?
nyp.33433076051832	Mr. Colliver what do you say to a little smile?"
nyp.33433076051832	Mr.?"
nyp.33433076051832	My lord, am I right so far?"
nyp.33433076051832	Now, how is it you made the mistake of supposing that I had here certain guests of high degree?"
nyp.33433076051832	Now, sir, where is it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Now, where is the paper you stole from me and say you burned?"
nyp.33433076051832	Now^Lieu- tenant, do we steam back to England or shall I cable it?"
nyp.33433076051832	Of course you know Newport?"

nyp.33433076051832	She was wrong?"
nyp.33433076051832	Since your game is contemptible with whom can I play here?"
nyp.33433076051832	Supposing he said he did it because he forgot to order some special dish at the Adelphi or Midland?

nyp.33433076051832	Tell me you know the roads to Fiume, Zengg and Agram well?"

nyp.33433076051832	Tomorrow morning perhaps?
nyp.33433076051832	Tony, Tony, why is it one ca n't die on the day when one is killed?"
nyp.33433076051832	Trent asked,"the missus?"
nyp.33433076051832	Trent?"
nyp.33433076051832	Trent?"
nyp.33433076051832	Was that one of his adventures?
nyp.33433076051832	Was the weary chase, the long.uncertainty to begin again?
nyp.33433076051832	Was this Trent person really good?"
nyp.33433076051832	Were n't we good friends enough for that?"
nyp.33433076051832	What causes could this fertile mind of yours suggest?"
nyp.33433076051832	What could you do that distance in?
nyp.33433076051832	What did she know?
nyp.33433076051832	What difference can it make to you now?
nyp.33433076051832	What do you suppose he weighs?"
nyp.33433076051832	What had he to do with that?
nyp.33433076051832	What has he done?"
nyp.33433076051832	What have you done that men should fear you?
nyp.33433076051832	What more could we want?"
nyp.33433076051832	What was William Smith to this unknown beauty?
nyp.33433076051832	Which was your man?
nyp.33433076051832	Why did you thank God when my enemy escaped?"
nyp.33433076051832	Why do n't you call some men- servants and have me flung out for a damned nuisance?
nyp.33433076051832	Why had not Trent been a better reader of character and recognized that in Captain Sutton he had a friend?
nyp.33433076051832	Why have you the combination to a safe written on a little piece of mauve paper and con- cealed in the book on your lap?"
nyp.33433076051832	Why not tell me your name?
nyp.33433076051832	Why not?
nyp.33433076051832	Why should he be jealous of what she might have written in the letter that was now ashes?
nyp.33433076051832	Why should he think of the future when today was so sweet?
nyp.33433076051832	Why?"
nyp.33433076051832	Why?"
nyp.33433076051832	Why?"
nyp.33433076051832	Will you be out?"
nyp.33433076051832	You can get them for me?"
nyp.33433076051832	You have been my servant and succeeded so far where they failed?"
nyp.33433076051832	You have never been to that part of the world I imagine?"
nyp.33433076051832	You have seen in this war which is passed what good roads mean, eh?"
nyp.33433076051832	You know him of course?"
nyp.33433076051832	You said'unfortunate,'did you not?"
nyp.33433076051832	You see that steep cliff yonder?"
nyp.33433076051832	You shoot I suppose?"
nyp.33433076051832	You talk like this to me?"
nyp.33433076051832	You think because his excellency was cheerful when you last saw him he is like that al- ways?
nyp.33433076051832	You understand that he must not be apprised in any way of this?"
nyp.33433076051832	You will admit that, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433076051832	asked the Harvard professor,"do n't you know that truth in the mouth of an habitual liar is often a potent and confounding weapon?"
nyp.33433076051832	fS THE SECRET OF THE SILVER CAR"She may be doing that now, but what was she doing before?
nyp.33433076051832	he asked,"Where is the man who knows the real me?"
nyp.33433076051832	not cable it?"
nyp.33433076051832	she asked"a little mouse under the chair?"
nyp.33433076066251	- “ I hope I have not come too soon? ” she asked hesitantly.
nyp.33433076066251	-- “ Who is he? ” he asked gently.
nyp.33433076066251	174 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE “ Do you like them? ” she asked simply, smiling for the first time at the maid.
nyp.33433076066251	A family is so commonplace. ” “ But she always dressed simply. ” “ Simply?
nyp.33433076066251	A very handsome fellow, is n't he? ” 172 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE D'Istria did not glance behind him.
nyp.33433076066251	Ah, my Guido, was there ever a woman like her?
nyp.33433076066251	Am I not wonderful? ” Carlota laughed and discovered the key planted carefully in the pot of cyclamen as she said.
nyp.33433076066251	And I told her the lines from ‘ Romeo et Juliette ’; you know them?
nyp.33433076066251	And a pack of children on Thompson Street fighting — for what?
nyp.33433076066251	And was it not as Dmitri warned her?
nyp.33433076066251	And yet, how?
nyp.33433076066251	And you shall flame forth in glory as Margherita or Gilda — ” “ Why not Santuzza or Aida? ” Carlota's temper rose at his suggestion.
nyp.33433076066251	Are n't they bleak here?
nyp.33433076066251	Are the little mother and sister quite safe, you are sure? ” “ Oh, absolutely. ” Steccho's dark face glowed with enthusiasm.
nyp.33433076066251	Are there any of the others here?
nyp.33433076066251	Are there more? ” “ No more. ” The boy's gaze never wavered.
nyp.33433076066251	Are they in New York or in Italy?
nyp.33433076066251	Are they in the pos- session of Maria Roma in their apartment, or in a safety- deposit vault?
nyp.33433076066251	Are you then infatuated, my Steccho?
nyp.33433076066251	CHAPTER XVII “ Now what? ” demanded Dmitri cheerily.
nyp.33433076066251	Ca n't you speak to me? ” She closed her eyes as he gripped her hands in his.
nyp.33433076066251	Can you tell me frankly why you are here?
nyp.33433076066251	Carlota, the Marchese called you, did n't he? ” “ Just call me that, ” she told him gravely.
nyp.33433076066251	Did Griffeth tell you about the fête at Mrs. Nevins's and — and how I had deceived you both, when you were so good to me?
nyp.33433076066251	Did he know where a man named Steccho lived, Ferad Steccho?
nyp.33433076066251	Did he tell you my name?
nyp.33433076066251	Did she ever sing again?
nyp.33433076066251	Did she not live like a queen with her court even at her age?
nyp.33433076066251	Did you find your dressing- room?
nyp.33433076066251	Did you meet him in Sofia? ” Steccho closed his lips stubbornly.
nyp.33433076066251	Did you need money?
nyp.33433076066251	Did you think you could throw me a few jewels like bones to a dog, and call our deal off?
nyp.33433076066251	Do you bring me a new sensation? ” But Jacobelli was mysterious and secretive.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you know her, my dear, among the immortal lovers? ” He measured level spoonfuls of pulverized coffee into the little copper pot carefully.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you know the greatest thing that came to me from it all?
nyp.33433076066251	Do you know why he is here in America? ” “ I know nothing about him, ” Steccho as- serted, with a touch of bravado.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you know why?
nyp.33433076066251	Do you like it? ” he asked eagerly.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you live down here? ” Carlota shook her head.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you not think she is suffering too? ” “ If I thought she were, I'd be the happiest man alive, ” Ames declared fervently.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you recog- nize him? ” The Marchese looked through the arched doorway at the man Ward had designated.
nyp.33433076066251	Do you think she acquired divinity of soul and utter- ance from some supreme emotion?
nyp.33433076066251	Do you think that I, Ogden Ward, would be such a damned fool as to let another man take you or anything else that I wanted away from me?
nyp.33433076066251	Enough to tell me anything at all I ask you? ” “ Ah, do I not, ” sighed Maria uneasily.
nyp.33433076066251	Ever try to get them at night?
nyp.33433076066251	Get me the key of the small chest. ” “ But — are n't you wearing it, dear, around your neck? ” Maria smiled at her delightedly, archly.
nyp.33433076066251	Grateful?
nyp.33433076066251	Have you news? ” Steccho shrugged his shoulders sullenly.
nyp.33433076066251	Have you not heard it said that all genius is insanity?
nyp.33433076066251	He congrat- ulated her on securing the services of — ah, what was the young girl's name — Miss Roma?
nyp.33433076066251	He did not ask you any questions, then, about yourself, about the Paoli collection or the jewels you wore? ” Carlota looked at her wonderingly.
nyp.33433076066251	How is our little one? ” 40 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE Carlota's brows drew together behind his back.
nyp.33433076066251	How long will it take, do you think? ” “ About an hour. ” As the taxi turned into Park Avenue, she leaned forward and drew the curtain hastily.
nyp.33433076066251	How many times must you go to see them this week? ” “ Oh, do n't!
nyp.33433076066251	I am a singer. ” “ Are you? ” he exclaimed eagerly.
nyp.33433076066251	I make you our neutral receiver, yes?
nyp.33433076066251	I may make it immortal. ” “ Why must she die, your princess? ” she said wistfully.
nyp.33433076066251	I think if it were really a beautiful one, she would tell, do n't you? ” “ Ignore him, ” Dmitri told her gravely.
nyp.33433076066251	I think you are in it now, here, do n't you? ” “ Dmitri would love you for that, ” he ex- claimed eagerly.
nyp.33433076066251	If it had not killed him, then he would waken and accuse – whom would he accuse?
nyp.33433076066251	Is it enough? ” Carlota had met his appraising eyes with the aloof resentment of an influence that dis- turbed her.
nyp.33433076066251	Is it so? ” Ward smiled non- committally.
nyp.33433076066251	Is n't Phelps a wonder?
nyp.33433076066251	Is n't she a dear little thing, Nathalie? ” “ Do you live right down here in the Sicilian quarter? ” asked Nathalie eagerly.
nyp.33433076066251	Is n't she a dear little thing, Nathalie? ” “ Do you live right down here in the Sicilian quarter? ” asked Nathalie eagerly.
nyp.33433076066251	Is not that a fair sign of the times, my friend?
nyp.33433076066251	Is n’t that great? ” Carlota's lips pressed together firmly at the name.
nyp.33433076066251	Is that it? ” Maria suddenly reached her hands upward THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE 39 and framed the face above her in a tremulous CaresS.
nyp.33433076066251	It can not sustain itself, what would THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE 59 you?
nyp.33433076066251	It is most imperative that I see, you under- stand? ”.
nyp.33433076066251	It is of the period and suitable for the princess. ” “ What name did you wish on the pro- gramme?
nyp.33433076066251	Life would be tame without them in spite of the danger, would it not?
nyp.33433076066251	Love, pouf! ”* “ Can a woman's nature reach its ripest fulfillment without love? ” Ward's tone was lowered.
nyp.33433076066251	Maria, Jacobelli, would the Marchese deem it his duty to tell them?
nyp.33433076066251	Must you go so soon?
nyp.33433076066251	Never should the danger of love approach her until her success was assured, and this creed was impressed upon your mother, my dear, with what result?
nyp.33433076066251	No, you did not know that, eh?
nyp.33433076066251	Once one has escaped its clamor, one may pay attention to the motive behind the parade, yes?
nyp.33433076066251	Queer chap, is n’t he?
nyp.33433076066251	Remember how I played that first night you met me?
nyp.33433076066251	See?
nyp.33433076066251	Shall I speak in detail? ” He smiled most courteously at Ward.
nyp.33433076066251	She is your pupil. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Griffeth sus- piciously.
nyp.33433076066251	She needs some one who has known her at her great moments, do n't you know? ” “ Certainly I know, ” he reassured her.
nyp.33433076066251	So- ciety is the pitfall and delusion, the desert of mirages. ” “ It is not a success, then, the opera?
nyp.33433076066251	Such a tender, appealing little part, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076066251	Tell me, truth- fully, are n't you glad to see me, are n't you? ” Carlota smiled up at him teasingly.
nyp.33433076066251	Temper? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076066251	The baseball column?
nyp.33433076066251	The boy was frightened, eh? ” “ I did n't notice his face, ” Ames retorted.
nyp.33433076066251	The child tries, but what would you?
nyp.33433076066251	The headache better?
nyp.33433076066251	The one Dmitri recognized from the win- dow here and told me I was never to fear him?
nyp.33433076066251	The sports?
nyp.33433076066251	The times are changing about, eh?
nyp.33433076066251	They belong to the children who are starving. ” “ The heirs of to- morrow? ” smiled Dmitri whimsically.
nyp.33433076066251	Two — three years nearly I have taught her all I know, and yet what is it?
nyp.33433076066251	Was Dmitri, too, one to be shunned and doubted?
nyp.33433076066251	Was Maryna among those, excellenza? ” “ I have given you my word for her safety, ” responded Jurka.
nyp.33433076066251	Was he not a worthy lover for her? ” Carlota looked long at the pictured face in the old gold and crystal case.
nyp.33433076066251	Was he, too, infatuated with the girl herself, and used the jewels merely as a blind to his own pursuit of her?
nyp.33433076066251	Was it somber or full of unhappiness?
nyp.33433076066251	Was it then foolish to seek a path to the stars through the world of everyday self- ishness and commercialism?
nyp.33433076066251	We save bullets for men, not cowards. ” “ And after I get them, we go back, excel- lenza? ” There was almost a whine in the query.
nyp.33433076066251	We were all wounded about the same time. ” “ I thought you said you were all right? ” “ I mean I did n't get killed or anything like that.
nyp.33433076066251	We will all play safe, then, eh?
nyp.33433076066251	We will have a beautiful, quiet little dinner for her to- mor- row night down at the Brevoort or Lafayette, yes?
nyp.33433076066251	Were not his suspicions based on air?
nyp.33433076066251	Were the jewels but part of his plan?
nyp.33433076066251	Were they not right, after all, she thought, as she stood by the window looking riverward?
nyp.33433076066251	What charge could they bring, save that he had befriended the boy Steccho and had loved her?
nyp.33433076066251	What did he say to you? ” Carlota slipped out of her velvet cloak tiredly.
nyp.33433076066251	What did he say to you? ” urged Maria shrewdly.
nyp.33433076066251	What do you do first, braise it? ” “ Let it alone.
nyp.33433076066251	What do you want me to do?
nyp.33433076066251	What of her? ” warned Dmitri gently.
nyp.33433076066251	What you think?
nyp.33433076066251	When you were very little, did you not always love the surprise, eh?
nyp.33433076066251	Where 182 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE is she?
nyp.33433076066251	Where is Carlota?
nyp.33433076066251	Where is the Marchese, Maria? ” She spoke with sudden quietness and dignity.
nyp.33433076066251	Where were you last night when she left the house wearing them? ” “ I had watched all day, ” Steccho told him excitedly.
nyp.33433076066251	Where, returned the old Marchese genially, but in her own bed, reposing restfully, after a most severe headache?
nyp.33433076066251	Who are these peo- ple?
nyp.33433076066251	Who are you, you pagan girl with the wonder eyes?
nyp.33433076066251	Who has sent you?
nyp.33433076066251	Who is this person? ”- “ A friend of Mr. Ward's.
nyp.33433076066251	Who taught you how to use it? ” “ Every one sings in Italy, ” Carlota said evasively.
nyp.33433076066251	Who was he, Maria? ” Signora slipped from the clouds with a shock of reality and caught the medallion from her hand.
nyp.33433076066251	Who, the boy Griffeth?
nyp.33433076066251	Whom have you killed, Ferad? ” The Bulgarian stretched out his palms ex- citedly.
nyp.33433076066251	Why did she ever come down to the Square and let me make- believe teach her? ” Dmitri's eyebrows again became expressively active.
nyp.33433076066251	Why did she not consult me first?
nyp.33433076066251	Why did they all smile at things that were sacred and beyond all sense of touch or sound?
nyp.33433076066251	Why did they seek her?
nyp.33433076066251	Why did this boy keep guard over her?
nyp.33433076066251	Why did you ask me to sing for them? ” He swept her a low bow jubilantly.
nyp.33433076066251	Why should he? ” “ I do not want any one to know they are here in America, out of the Tittani vaults.
nyp.33433076066251	Why was it necessary for you to have his sworn statement when he might give his own testimony?
nyp.33433076066251	Why, then, is it not in Carlota's voice? ” Ward rose leisurely.
nyp.33433076066251	Why?
nyp.33433076066251	Why? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076066251	Will you come? ” “ The heavens would fall if I did, ” she laughed unsteadily, trying to draw her hands from his clasp.
nyp.33433076066251	Will you sleep here to- night? ” He laid his arm around the boy's shoulders.
nyp.33433076066251	Will you walk with me, Maria, and remember Vallombrosa while these children follow their own path of gold?
nyp.33433076066251	Wo n't you tell me what Jacobelli meant, now?
nyp.33433076066251	Would he, perhaps, say that Carlota had stabbed him, would he dare when he knew she had been unconscious in his arms?
nyp.33433076066251	Would it be wiser, he mused, to tell Griffeth Ames everything?
nyp.33433076066251	Would not Bianca Trelango understand, more than any other, her daughter's temptation to aid her love?
nyp.33433076066251	Would you climb them to find me? ” Carlota smiled up at him, a flash of quick mischief in her glance.
nyp.33433076066251	You are, yes?
nyp.33433076066251	You came with old Veracci, did n't you? ” “ I am Italian, ” Carlota answered gravely.
nyp.33433076066251	You can remember the life at the villa?
nyp.33433076066251	You have been followed here? ” “ I am not afraid.
nyp.33433076066251	You have won. ” “ What is it, dear? ” exclaimed Griffeth, as he held Carlota's hands in his.
nyp.33433076066251	You know where I mean?
nyp.33433076066251	You like that, do you?
nyp.33433076066251	You love me, do you not?
nyp.33433076066251	You must n’t have any attacks out here to- morrow night, will you?
nyp.33433076066251	You should not let him spoil the surprise. ” “ Did he?
nyp.33433076066251	You understand? ” “ And I am supposed to bow and say the queen can do no wrong, ” laughed Ames.
nyp.33433076066251	You will come again soon, wo n't you, dear?
nyp.33433076066251	You're my mascot. ” “ Did you try her voice? ” She spoke very softly.
nyp.33433076066251	“ All right? ” he whispered confidently.
nyp.33433076066251	“ And what is that, the death- stroke, nowa- days?
nyp.33433076066251	“ And what of your father who lives in Colorado?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Are you quite sure, ” Nathalie had asked her, “ that your gown will be of the period and quite appropriate?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Before I come here I see to that, and they will have more still, much more. ” “ So?
nyp.33433076066251	“ But you have no reason — have you? ” Carlota's eyes narrowed with amusement at her anxiety.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Can I not? ” laughed the latter cheerily.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Do not ask me anything further. ” “ She was very young to die, was she not, only twenty- two?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Do you intend giving her lessons? ” “ I certainly do. ” He began rummaging in the wall cupboard after his stock of china.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Do you?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Guess we were just a couple of old lazy dubs here, were n’t we, Ptolemy?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Have we any right to take our own happi- ness when it makes so many wretched?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Have you found them? ” The question came hard and short finally.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Have you no word of thanks? ” And Ward had never forgotten the flash of challenge in the girl's dark eyes as she had given him her hand.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Have you tried to pluck this Rose of Romance? ” 202 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE “ Oh, she knows I love her, of course.
nyp.33433076066251	“ He is not here? ” “ He?
nyp.33433076066251	“ He is not here? ” “ He?
nyp.33433076066251	“ How did you know where I lived?
nyp.33433076066251	“ How is Carlota? ” “ She progresses well. ” “ Why not after two years under Jacobelli?
nyp.33433076066251	“ How is Carlota? ” “ She progresses well. ” “ Why not after two years under Jacobelli?
nyp.33433076066251	“ How many times in three days have you motored down to Long Island?
nyp.33433076066251	“ I am a propagandist, but I only propagate my own propaganda, see?
nyp.33433076066251	“ I forgive you from my heart all you do to me in the past, see?
nyp.33433076066251	“ I may toss roses from the top of the wall; that is it, signor? ” she said gravely.
nyp.33433076066251	“ I played to you — you knew that, did n't you?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Is that not Jurka?
nyp.33433076066251	“ It is torture to me, but what would you?
nyp.33433076066251	“ It's all he talks about, the THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE 65 “ Does she not look at the candle? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Let them crash, who cares? ” he said.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Like the crucible?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Maria, when will you treat me as a woman? ” Maria's face flushed as she spilled the tea blindly on the rug.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Miss Trelango's call came about half an hour ago? ” “ At five minutes past twelve. ” The Jap gave the time with exactness.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Now, why do you suppose that black- browed grenadier comes to my threshold at dead of night and scares my friend?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Paola Roma. ” 154 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE “ Oh, yes, you are really Italian, are n't you?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Pardon — you have then seen her? ” Jurka made no reply, but met the boy's eager gaze with calculating suspicion.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Shall I take the bag outside, miss? ” asked the chauffeur.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Shall I take you to the entrance? ” Ames 156 THE DANGEROUS INHERITANCE asked, as they neared the apartment.
nyp.33433076066251	“ She tells you she has four lessons a week? ” “ Two hours in the morning, two in the af- ternoon.
nyp.33433076066251	“ So? ” His arms closed about her like a vise as he crushed her to him.
nyp.33433076066251	“ The customs on the jewels? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076066251	“ The last time we met, we dipped in the same drinking- bowl, remember? ” Dmitri smiled across at him.
nyp.33433076066251	“ They came from Italy and were my grandmother's. ” “ From Italy? ” The woman straightened back her shoulders.
nyp.33433076066251	“ This young singer, this girl, what do you call her? ” “ You mean Miss Romap. ” She smiled at him innocently.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Was my mother happy? ” “ If love can make any woman happy, she was. ” Signora Roma's voice broke with agita- tion.
nyp.33433076066251	“ We make friends, what you say, my boy?"
nyp.33433076066251	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433076066251	“ What more can I do?
nyp.33433076066251	“ What more would you?
nyp.33433076066251	“ When the cause is right, the way must be right too. ” “ What do you mean by the cause? ” Dmitri asked genially.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Where the devil do you live, anyway? ” “ Twenty- Eighth Street, East, ” he lied sim- ply.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Where they separate the ore from the quartz, you know, the real from the slag. ” “ Slag? ” she repeated slowly.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Who can say?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Why did you try to hide from me? ” His tone was low and broken with embarrassment.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Why do you have to take her when she has everything?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Why should you go to the police?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Why was he not handed over to the police by you?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Why? ” Maria laughed.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Will you kindly tell me the meaning of this? ” he demanded hotly.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Will you not personally hold these until I have sailed, and then destroy them?
nyp.33433076066251	“ Will — will this girl, your new pupil, sing a rôle also? ” “ Surely, dear, ” he told her confidently.
nyp.33433076066251	“ Wo n't you kindly end this distressing scene, Miss Roma, and leave as soon as possi- ble?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You are happy, yes? ” the Marchese asked, regarding her with the pride he took no pains to conceal.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You are in love? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You are not overfond, then, of these society theatricals? ” asked the Count.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You are still alone? ” Ward's eyes followed the lines of her figure as she moved away from him.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You are tired, are n’t you? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You do n't mind my using the little story you told me, do you, Carlota?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You have done something to- night? ” The boy nodded.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You have news of my mother and sister, yes, of Maryna, excellenza?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You have the heritage of rebellion; how can I warn you or teach you to fight it?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You hear from them, yes?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You like a dash of rose or orange water, yes? ” “ I do n't care what you give me.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You permit, if you please?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You remember her?
nyp.33433076066251	“ You will see that I go back to Rigl? ” “ Rich for life, ” Jurka assured him lan- guidly.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You will wear them all, miss? ” she asked curiously, lifting the heavy stomacher of gold links, delicate as certain fragile shells.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You would not think it wrong, would you? ” she whispered, as she knelt before the outspread treasures from the past.
nyp.33433076066251	“ You're not worrying still, are you?
nyp.33433075728570	1ll? nyp.33433075728570 A reward for information is to be offered, is n't it?"
nyp.33433075728570	About this sale of the estate, you know? nyp.33433075728570 Ah!—but which is master and which is man?"
nyp.33433075728570	All the same, you'll come?
nyp.33433075728570	All the same,observed Mr. Dennie, imperturb- MR. DENNIE 133 ably,"if this young man had not been in existence, this child would have succeeded, eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	An impostor?
nyp.33433075728570	And do you mean to tell me that you did n't see 62 SCARHAVEN KEEP me last year in The Clever Lady Hartletop?
nyp.33433075728570	And do you suppose that whoever saw Marston Greyle at Falmouth cared two pins — comparatively — what became of him after he left there? nyp.33433075728570 And he'll do — what?"
nyp.33433075728570	And if it is — why?
nyp.33433075728570	And never had any right to — anything?
nyp.33433075728570	And put another name on a bit of a tombstone — six months afterwards, what?
nyp.33433075728570	And the cases have been examined?
nyp.33433075728570	And the crew?
nyp.33433075728570	And they were — what?
nyp.33433075728570	And what do you want to see me about?
nyp.33433075728570	And what the dickens may that be to do with you?
nyp.33433075728570	And when did you come down home, Addie?
nyp.33433075728570	And when?
nyp.33433075728570	And where are we?
nyp.33433075728570	And where did you go when you left the place?
nyp.33433075728570	And where would you find money to take sum- monses out?
nyp.33433075728570	And who may you be to walk aboard my vessel without leave?
nyp.33433075728570	And whom am I going to drink with, may I ask?'' nyp.33433075728570 And yet it's twenty- five years since we met, is n't it?"
nyp.33433075728570	And you think?
nyp.33433075728570	And — as regards that — what's to be done next?
nyp.33433075728570	And — is it dangerous out there?
nyp.33433075728570	Are they Scar- haven men?
nyp.33433075728570	Are they particularly so?
nyp.33433075728570	Are those his orders?
nyp.33433075728570	Are you a member of his company?
nyp.33433075728570	Are you coming, Audrey?'' nyp.33433075728570 Are you going to stay in this place?"
nyp.33433075728570	Are you going to the post- office?
nyp.33433075728570	Are you the gentlemen as is asking after another gentleman?
nyp.33433075728570	Been with him — how long, Hackett?
nyp.33433075728570	But in that case — the money?
nyp.33433075728570	But look here — won't you trust me? nyp.33433075728570 But the others?"
nyp.33433075728570	But what do you think?
nyp.33433075728570	But what harm can they do us?
nyp.33433075728570	But why this sudden politeness?
nyp.33433075728570	But why you?
nyp.33433075728570	But — about what?
nyp.33433075728570	But — don't you think we folk of the profession are a little bit apt to magnify 134 SCARHAVEN KEEP our own importance? nyp.33433075728570 But — may n't I know why — and in what capacity?"
nyp.33433075728570	Chatfield, what have you been saying? nyp.33433075728570 Come now — had n't you better tell?"
nyp.33433075728570	Come now, all of you, what's the good of being so down on an old man who, after all has n't got so very long to live? nyp.33433075728570 Come now, he put you ashore before he sent us off, did n't he 1 Why do n't you own up?"
nyp.33433075728570	Come, now, between ourselves?
nyp.33433075728570	Coming round this parapet?
nyp.33433075728570	Days?
nyp.33433075728570	Did Lord Alt- more say when this offer was made to him?'' nyp.33433075728570 Did he go off on the tender next night?"
nyp.33433075728570	Did he say anything about his own movements yesterday?
nyp.33433075728570	Did he tell you that he was going anywhere?
nyp.33433075728570	Did n't you see any name on the coffin?
nyp.33433075728570	Did they give you any address, either of them?
nyp.33433075728570	Did they go?
nyp.33433075728570	Did you say, sir?
nyp.33433075728570	Did you see Addie Chatfield when she was here about a year ago?
nyp.33433075728570	Did you see him again?
nyp.33433075728570	Did you think it was the man we know as the Squire?
nyp.33433075728570	Do n't you think, Petherton, that we had better get a clear notion of our exact bearings?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you consider this here a matter of murder?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you know what you are rendering yourself liable to, sir, by detaining us at all?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you know what?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you know where this place is? nyp.33433075728570 Do you know?"
nyp.33433075728570	Do you like the young man?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you really think — that?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you see? nyp.33433075728570 Do you think that will do much good?"
nyp.33433075728570	Do you think your man will have tracked him?
nyp.33433075728570	Does Lord Altmore want to buy?
nyp.33433075728570	Does it need much observation?
nyp.33433075728570	Does n't much matter if you write your plays in Jermyn Street or — anywhere else, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	Does the present Greyle want to buy?
nyp.33433075728570	Does your cousin know of that?
nyp.33433075728570	Ever known Mr. Oliver late like this?
nyp.33433075728570	Good heavens, man, what do you mean?
nyp.33433075728570	Had n't we better fetch them?
nyp.33433075728570	Have you pulled me down here to ask that?
nyp.33433075728570	Have you seen Mrs. or Miss Greyle since the in- quest?
nyp.33433075728570	He must have had some reason?
nyp.33433075728570	He — you wo n't mind my askingTsaid Copple- stone, diffidently,"he did n't know that you lived here?"
nyp.33433075728570	He's in the town, of course?
nyp.33433075728570	Here — shall I come with you?
nyp.33433075728570	Here?
nyp.33433075728570	Here?
nyp.33433075728570	How are yer, Jim? nyp.33433075728570 How are you going to set about it?"
nyp.33433075728570	How did you get it there — unseen?'' nyp.33433075728570 How did you know him?"
nyp.33433075728570	How do we even know that they ever came to Bristol?
nyp.33433075728570	How do we know?
nyp.33433075728570	How do you do? nyp.33433075728570 How — a clever scheme?"
nyp.33433075728570	I do n't know if you notice that Greyle is n't here?
nyp.33433075728570	I hope you do n't think me interfering? nyp.33433075728570 I suppose it's all up with the poor gentleman; of course?
nyp.33433075728570	I suppose member- ship of that's confined to the profession, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	I suppose you are one of Mr. Oliver's company?
nyp.33433075728570	I take it,he said,"that you are a young gen- tleman of leisure, and that you can abide wherever you like, eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	I think I heard you say that you knew Mr. Bas- sett Oliver?
nyp.33433075728570	I think, Sir Cresswell — eh?
nyp.33433075728570	I understand that you are an actress?
nyp.33433075728570	I was n't go- ing to ask questions in there, but — what's going to be done about this Oliver affair? nyp.33433075728570 I wonder if I've ever seen you any- where?"
nyp.33433075728570	I wonder what we're on the way to?
nyp.33433075728570	I?
nyp.33433075728570	If 20 SCARHAVEN KEEP he should turn up here,'phone to Waters at the Northborough theatre, wo n't you?
nyp.33433075728570	Is 12 SCARHAVEN KEEP he here? nyp.33433075728570 Is he concerned about this?"
nyp.33433075728570	Is he more friendly with the mother and daughter than the last Squire was?
nyp.33433075728570	Is he rather — touchy?
nyp.33433075728570	Is it any use taking them any other way?
nyp.33433075728570	Is it pretty bare and bleak at this tower of yours, Spurge?
nyp.33433075728570	Is n't it more pertinent to speculate on where she'll be when we want to find her?
nyp.33433075728570	Is that really Chatfield's signature?
nyp.33433075728570	Is this a farce?
nyp.33433075728570	It's blood- curdling?
nyp.33433075728570	It's on the mainland, of course?
nyp.33433075728570	May I ask a question?
nyp.33433075728570	May I come in tomorrow and tell you what's being done? — I'm sure Stafford means to leave no stone unturned — he's tremendously keen about it.
nyp.33433075728570	Mind; holding it?
nyp.33433075728570	Miss Greyle? nyp.33433075728570 Mr. Bassett Oliver?"
nyp.33433075728570	Mr. Greyle says will you go forward, sir?
nyp.33433075728570	Not Norcaster? nyp.33433075728570 Now, why?"
nyp.33433075728570	Oh!—will that have to be held? nyp.33433075728570 Oh?"
nyp.33433075728570	Oh?
nyp.33433075728570	On what grounds, sir?
nyp.33433075728570	Part? nyp.33433075728570 Perhaps you'll be kind enough to accompany us?"
nyp.33433075728570	Right? nyp.33433075728570 Said he knew me — in America?"
nyp.33433075728570	Seeing that she's here in Norcaster and in touch with those two, what else can I think?
nyp.33433075728570	Shall I suggest something that sounds very material, though? nyp.33433075728570 Shall you sleep?"
nyp.33433075728570	Skipper o'this craft?
nyp.33433075728570	So there was no news of him last night?
nyp.33433075728570	So — there was a game?
nyp.33433075728570	So — today's our own, eh? nyp.33433075728570 Somebody want me?"
nyp.33433075728570	Supposing I escort you homeward instead — now?
nyp.33433075728570	That's queer, is n't it? nyp.33433075728570 The Palmouth landlord saw Chatfield take tickets for Bristol?
nyp.33433075728570	The gold's gone, of course?
nyp.33433075728570	The landlady is a nice, motherly person; she gave me a very well- cooked lunch; this is a quiet room in which to do your writing, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	The moor road?
nyp.33433075728570	The next thing is — was it acci- dental?
nyp.33433075728570	The thing is — will he keep his prom- ise? nyp.33433075728570 Then this young lady,"he said,"is next heir to the Greyle estates, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	Then you've practically been travelling all night?
nyp.33433075728570	There's nothing wrong — with you or your mother — personally, I mean? nyp.33433075728570 There's something there called the Devil's Spout?"
nyp.33433075728570	To whom?
nyp.33433075728570	Upstairs, now?
nyp.33433075728570	Well — what next?
nyp.33433075728570	Well, but ai n't we got something to show fight with, too?
nyp.33433075728570	Well, off the point beneath that, there's a group of rocks — you'd perhaps noticed them as you came down from the station? nyp.33433075728570 Well?"
nyp.33433075728570	Well?
nyp.33433075728570	Well?
nyp.33433075728570	Well?
nyp.33433075728570	What about his brother?
nyp.33433075728570	What about the other news we brought you?
nyp.33433075728570	What about upstairs?
nyp.33433075728570	What do people here think about it?
nyp.33433075728570	What do you think about this extraordinary story of Bassett Oliver's having met a Marston Greyle• over there in America?
nyp.33433075728570	What do you think?
nyp.33433075728570	What does Mr. Marston Greyle find to do with himself in this place?
nyp.33433075728570	What does your human nature — which I'm sure is not wicked, say?
nyp.33433075728570	What have you got?
nyp.33433075728570	What is going to be done?
nyp.33433075728570	What is it?
nyp.33433075728570	What is the present object?
nyp.33433075728570	What now?
nyp.33433075728570	What on earth does it all mean? nyp.33433075728570 What on earth is it all about?"
nyp.33433075728570	What on earth's that represent?
nyp.33433075728570	What ought to be done, Haskett?
nyp.33433075728570	What part did you play?
nyp.33433075728570	What terms?
nyp.33433075728570	What then?
nyp.33433075728570	What then?
nyp.33433075728570	What's all this?
nyp.33433075728570	What's the Fragonard Club?
nyp.33433075728570	What's the good of all this, Spurge?
nyp.33433075728570	What's the mat- ter? nyp.33433075728570 What's this bit of news you've got to tell?"
nyp.33433075728570	What's this new mystery?
nyp.33433075728570	What's this, what's all this?
nyp.33433075728570	What's to be done, then?
nyp.33433075728570	What'she after?
nyp.33433075728570	What?
nyp.33433075728570	What?
nyp.33433075728570	Where 244 SCARHAVEN KEEP are your powers of deduction? nyp.33433075728570 Where is your father?"
nyp.33433075728570	Where was the wire sent from?
nyp.33433075728570	Where's the pirate, or whatever he is?
nyp.33433075728570	Where?
nyp.33433075728570	Where?'' nyp.33433075728570 Whose notion was it that he might be found here?"
nyp.33433075728570	Why did n't you bring somebody else with you, to follow the man and the luggage?
nyp.33433075728570	Why did n't you keep your eye on the ball, man? — you!'' nyp.33433075728570 Why not?
nyp.33433075728570	Why, mother?
nyp.33433075728570	Why?
nyp.33433075728570	Why?
nyp.33433075728570	Will you come here, Audrey?
nyp.33433075728570	Will you come in and speak to my mother?
nyp.33433075728570	Will you come in?
nyp.33433075728570	Will you?
nyp.33433075728570	Wo n't they be rather running their necks into a noose?
nyp.33433075728570	Would you be for having him in? nyp.33433075728570 Yes, Mr. Chatfield, what has the Pike come back for?"
nyp.33433075728570	Yes?
nyp.33433075728570	Yon think he was then likely to die suddenly?
nyp.33433075728570	You did n't see anything of him yesterday, here?
nyp.33433075728570	You do n't mean to say you've actually been kidnapped?
nyp.33433075728570	You do n't say,.guv'nor? nyp.33433075728570 You do, eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	You gentlemen will excuse both of us for a few minutes?
nyp.33433075728570	You got any?
nyp.33433075728570	You have n't made up your own mind, surely?'' nyp.33433075728570 You heard the evidence of the last witness? — Spurge.
nyp.33433075728570	You mean Mr. Oliver, the actor?
nyp.33433075728570	You never heard anything?
nyp.33433075728570	You saw no one else about there that afternoon?
nyp.33433075728570	You say the inquest will be held tomorrow?
nyp.33433075728570	You sent me that note last night?
nyp.33433075728570	You think he might have been — what?—thrown down?
nyp.33433075728570	You think she was the woman whose footprints you saw up there at the Beaver's Glen?
nyp.33433075728570	You think there is somebody on the Pike — some- body other than Andrius?
nyp.33433075728570	You think there's no doubt that gold was re- moved this morning by Chatfield's daughter?
nyp.33433075728570	You think, Petherton — yes?
nyp.33433075728570	You wo n't tell us what this place is?
nyp.33433075728570	You'll not refuse a poor man's hospitality, guv'nor?
nyp.33433075728570	You're all right?
nyp.33433075728570	You're frightened of him?
nyp.33433075728570	You're quite a business man — an unusual thing in authors, is n't it? nyp.33433075728570 You're sure of that 1—Bristol?"
nyp.33433075728570	You're the chap who sent me that letter? nyp.33433075728570 You've found him, then, sir?"
nyp.33433075728570	You've got — that gold?
nyp.33433075728570	You've had cases of disappearance to deal with be- fore, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	You've heard of Lord Altmore, have n't you?
nyp.33433075728570	You've heard that, have you? nyp.33433075728570 You've met him?"
nyp.33433075728570	''And what sort of man was Mr. Greyle?''
nyp.33433075728570	''Did Lord Altmore say if any reason had been given him as to why Mr. Greyle wished to sell?"
nyp.33433075728570	''How?''
nyp.33433075728570	''They brought a sick man here?''
nyp.33433075728570	''Well?"
nyp.33433075728570	''Well?''
nyp.33433075728570	''Why?''
nyp.33433075728570	''You did?"
nyp.33433075728570	'And who may the Squire be?'
nyp.33433075728570	'Cause why?
nyp.33433075728570	'a dead body is in that there Keep I"100 THE INVALID CURATE 101"Are you suggesting anything?"
nyp.33433075728570	148 SCARHAVEN KEEP worth while saying so much now?
nyp.33433075728570	18 GREY ROCK AND GREY SEA 19"Has anybody anything to tell?"
nyp.33433075728570	Addie Chatfield, of course I Was she not old Peter's daughter, a chip of the old block, even though a feminine chip?
nyp.33433075728570	Ah, well, Northborough's a port, too, isn't it?"
nyp.33433075728570	All the same, you do n't look like a writer — what does he look like, Mrs. Wooler?
nyp.33433075728570	Am I right?"
nyp.33433075728570	An ap- pointment, you say?''
nyp.33433075728570	And anyway,"she continued, looking from one to the other,"had n't we better make the best of it?
nyp.33433075728570	And did not he and Gilling know that she had been mixed up with Peter at the Bristol affair?
nyp.33433075728570	And first of all — is Mr. Marston Greyle present in this room?"
nyp.33433075728570	And he himself was already committed to play in it — but what part?
nyp.33433075728570	And if so, why?
nyp.33433075728570	And if they can only be laid hands on — What is it?"
nyp.33433075728570	And in that case,"continued Mrs. Greyle, looking earnestly from one to the other,"in that case — who is the man now at Scarhaven Keep?"
nyp.33433075728570	And it was rather a surprise to hear that Oliver had kn6wn some 39 40 SCARHAVEN KEEP man of your cousin's name over there in America, was n't it?"
nyp.33433075728570	And now then — the door being shut on us — THE REAVER'S GLEN 261 go next?
nyp.33433075728570	And now — is Mr. Copplestone to punish him or — will you?"
nyp.33433075728570	And now — we know he came here — what we next want to know is, what he did when he got here?''
nyp.33433075728570	And then?''
nyp.33433075728570	And what might be the partiklar'natur'o'them warrants?"
nyp.33433075728570	And what then?"
nyp.33433075728570	And who's robbed and maltreated you — and how and when — especially when — did you come here?"
nyp.33433075728570	And — supposing they did find something — supposing they found Bassett Oliver's body — What is it?"
nyp.33433075728570	And""And — what?"
nyp.33433075728570	Anyhow — did he come to your house yesterday afternoon as this man suggests?"
nyp.33433075728570	Are n't you, now?"
nyp.33433075728570	Are you ill?"
nyp.33433075728570	Are you?"
nyp.33433075728570	Audrey, what is it?
nyp.33433075728570	BY PRIVATE TREATY 149"And that your cousin would let him?"
nyp.33433075728570	Better go back and get help, eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	But I knew you at once — I was wondering if you remembered me?"
nyp.33433075728570	But we must remember that to some people even a famous actor is of no more importance than — shall we say a respectable grocer?
nyp.33433075728570	But we'd better wait un- til the doctor comes, had n't we?
nyp.33433075728570	But what did it amount to?
nyp.33433075728570	But what?
nyp.33433075728570	But why?—why so much anxiety if they knew nothing whatever about Bassett Oliver's strange disappearance?
nyp.33433075728570	But — if he'a dead, who's engineering all this?
nyp.33433075728570	But — is not the estate en- tailed?"
nyp.33433075728570	But — the other one, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	But — who?
nyp.33433075728570	But — why shall you come back?"
nyp.33433075728570	But •what's to be done there?"
nyp.33433075728570	But, in that case, what of Copplestone's revelation about the Fal- mouth and Bristol affair and the dead man?
nyp.33433075728570	By the- bye — this young Squire — he's your relation, of course?''
nyp.33433075728570	By- the- bye, have you told this to any- body?"
nyp.33433075728570	Came here, and has disappeared, you say?
nyp.33433075728570	Can you give information of that sort?"
nyp.33433075728570	Chatfield?"
nyp.33433075728570	Chatfield?"
nyp.33433075728570	Chatfield?"
nyp.33433075728570	Come, now?"
nyp.33433075728570	Come, now?"
nyp.33433075728570	Copplestone?"
nyp.33433075728570	Copplestone?"
nyp.33433075728570	Copplestone?"
nyp.33433075728570	Copplestone?"
nyp.33433075728570	Could he have got out there across those sands, yesterday after- noon?"
nyp.33433075728570	D'ye think that'll be the same gentleman, now?"
nyp.33433075728570	D'you think as how a Scarhaven jury's go- ing to say aught agen its own Squire and landlord?
nyp.33433075728570	Dennie?"
nyp.33433075728570	Dennie?"
nyp.33433075728570	Did Chatfield know of any place at that point visited by fishing craft from the other islands?
nyp.33433075728570	Did you meet anybody of the Squire's name there?"
nyp.33433075728570	Did you see anything, or hear anything of him?"
nyp.33433075728570	Did you see him yesterday?"
nyp.33433075728570	Do n't this here river, running into the free and bounding ocean six miles away, offer the best chance?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you follow me?"
nyp.33433075728570	Do you know what that is, either of you?
nyp.33433075728570	Do you live in town?"
nyp.33433075728570	Do you see the value of these points?
nyp.33433075728570	Eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	Eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	Five hundred years, 151 152 SCARHAVEN KEEP you say?
nyp.33433075728570	Foul play?
nyp.33433075728570	Foul play?—that's what you do n't know, eh, inspector?"
nyp.33433075728570	GREY ROCK AND GREY SEA 25"I wonder if you can give me some information?"
nyp.33433075728570	Gilling?"
nyp.33433075728570	Good doctrine, that, anyway — isn't it, Sir Cresswell?"
nyp.33433075728570	Good heavens, man!—what are you so frightened for?"
nyp.33433075728570	Good- night, Mr. Copplestone — and perhaps you'll so far overcome your repug- nance to the theatre as to come and see me in one some day?"
nyp.33433075728570	Greyle's—-eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	Greyle?"
nyp.33433075728570	Greyle?"
nyp.33433075728570	Guv'- nor!—I reckon that'ud be the last time as he was seen alive!—unless — unless""Unless — what?"
nyp.33433075728570	Had Chatfield ever been in the Orkneys before?
nyp.33433075728570	Had n't you better give me your confidence?
nyp.33433075728570	Had the estate agent come there to tell him that?
nyp.33433075728570	Hadn't you better turn?''
nyp.33433075728570	Has anybody any idea of any project, any excursion, that he had in mind?''
nyp.33433075728570	Has he done this on his own hook, or — is there somebody on board who's at the top of things?"
nyp.33433075728570	Have you been over there?''
nyp.33433075728570	Have you been to the police- station?''
nyp.33433075728570	Have you looked at it?'
nyp.33433075728570	He said""Is it worth while, mother?"
nyp.33433075728570	How do you get up there?'
nyp.33433075728570	How does this relate to my brother's death?
nyp.33433075728570	I suppose we may go up the tower?"
nyp.33433075728570	I tell you my father accepted that story — why?
nyp.33433075728570	I wonder what the last Squire of Scarhaven would have said to a propo- sition like that?
nyp.33433075728570	I wonder what the message is?"
nyp.33433075728570	If he did""Well?"
nyp.33433075728570	If it was — why?
nyp.33433075728570	In fact, he is an actor — perhaps you've heard of him?
nyp.33433075728570	Is he some relation of theirs?
nyp.33433075728570	Is he?"
nyp.33433075728570	Is it on the MAROONED 217 mainland, or is it an island, or where are we?
nyp.33433075728570	Is it possible there can be two per- sons of that name?
nyp.33433075728570	Is that it?"
nyp.33433075728570	Is that right, Chatfield?"
nyp.33433075728570	Is the man who calls himself Squire of Scarhaven here?''
nyp.33433075728570	Is the police to be in at it, then?"
nyp.33433075728570	Is there a word of truth in it?"
nyp.33433075728570	It seems to me there might be something to be said for that, you know?
nyp.33433075728570	It's all very well talking about getting off, but when and how are we to get off?
nyp.33433075728570	Like looking for needles in a IN TOUCH WITH THE MISSING 171 bundle of hay?
nyp.33433075728570	Listen — have you a specimen — letter — anything — of your cousin, the Squire's handwriting?
nyp.33433075728570	Listen, Chatfield!—there's property of your own on that yacht, eh?
nyp.33433075728570	Lone spot, ai n't it, gentle- men?"
nyp.33433075728570	Look here!—we've got to think pretty quick, Copplestone, that captain, now?
nyp.33433075728570	Mr. Vickers certainly did what he felt to be best — and who could foresee this?
nyp.33433075728570	Mr. Vickers?
nyp.33433075728570	Now can you tell us anything — more than you've already told, I mean?''
nyp.33433075728570	Now do you understand?''
nyp.33433075728570	Now then, the next thing is, which way did that motor go with its contents?''
nyp.33433075728570	Now what sort of man was he?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now who told you that, Mr. Chatfield?
nyp.33433075728570	Now, Mr. Copplestone, will you have a word or two with me in private?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now, do you think you could manage to stay where you are for a week or two?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now, guv'nor, I ask you — where is it possible they'd make for?
nyp.33433075728570	Now, if I help in that there work, will Miss Greyle continue me in my post of estate agent at Scarhaven?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now, if I was to tell some- HOBKIN'S HOLE 97 thing as I knows of, what chances should I have of getting that there money?''
nyp.33433075728570	Now, just a question or two:—Did you hear the young man's name?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now, look here — will you stay here for the night, so as to be on the spot?
nyp.33433075728570	Now, then — are you going to beg Miss Greyle's pardon, you hoary sinner?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now, what about being armed?"
nyp.33433075728570	Now, what is it?
nyp.33433075728570	Now, wo n't you please let me see you through these dark woods?"
nyp.33433075728570	Oliver — personally?"
nyp.33433075728570	Oliver?"
nyp.33433075728570	Or shall I go?"
nyp.33433075728570	Or was he, too, merely examining his surroundings — considering which was the likeliest part of the island from which to attract attention?
nyp.33433075728570	Or, maybe, it being the forepart of the day, you'd prefer ale, now?
nyp.33433075728570	Plain English, eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	Queer place for gentlemen to meet in, ai n't itf Who are you talking to, says you?
nyp.33433075728570	See?''
nyp.33433075728570	Shall I tell you what Lord Altmore said on that point?
nyp.33433075728570	She — what's that?"
nyp.33433075728570	Sleep well — and tomorrow you are all free again, eh?"
nyp.33433075728570	So far, this was all known to them — but what was coming?
nyp.33433075728570	So he made an appointment with you, did he — here, today?
nyp.33433075728570	So what could Chatfield know of him — to have any hold?"
nyp.33433075728570	So where is he?"
nyp.33433075728570	So you've really been all night on that island?"
nyp.33433075728570	So — is it any use doing what that old gentleman's just worry- ing to do?
nyp.33433075728570	So — what's to be done?"
nyp.33433075728570	So — you're a writer?''
nyp.33433075728570	Something happened?''
nyp.33433075728570	Spurge — you're the man who knows the spot best — what ought we to do about getting there — in force?"
nyp.33433075728570	Stafford?"
nyp.33433075728570	Stafford?"
nyp.33433075728570	Stand aside, will you?"
nyp.33433075728570	Suspicion?
nyp.33433075728570	THE OLD HAND 225 Hang it all, man, what's the use of lying about it? — you know that's all true!''
nyp.33433075728570	Tell me — is that right what you said to me on deck, that the man who has called himself Marston Greyle is not so at all?"
nyp.33433075728570	That Keep, now?—may one look round that?"
nyp.33433075728570	That do?"
nyp.33433075728570	That gentleman came to meet the other, did he?
nyp.33433075728570	That it?
nyp.33433075728570	The Pike is, I believe, a very fast vessel?''
nyp.33433075728570	The footprints of a woman who wore fashionable and elegant boots?
nyp.33433075728570	The'Golden Apple,'was n't it?"

nyp.33433075728570	There's that cab still at the door, you know — shall we run up to the station?"
nyp.33433075728570	This gentleman is a friend of yours?''

nyp.33433075728570	Under what circumstances?"
nyp.33433075728570	Very well — what's the other way o'get- ting any stuff out o'Norcaster?
nyp.33433075728570	Vickers!—I guess you're the quickest- footed of the lot — will you run back to High Nick and tell that chauffeur to bring his car round here?
nyp.33433075728570	Vickers'?"
nyp.33433075728570	Waa there any method in his wanderings?
nyp.33433075728570	Warrants?—you say?
nyp.33433075728570	Was there a train leaving soon for Scarhaven?
nyp.33433075728570	We'd better start a big fire out o'this dry stuff""But what about these revelations you were going to make?"
nyp.33433075728570	Well — do n't they know very well that Marston Greyle is under suspicion?
nyp.33433075728570	Well, an'what does it prove?
nyp.33433075728570	Well, now, an- other question — you got the idea that some one else was aboard the yacht?''
nyp.33433075728570	Well, now,"he went on, turning to the fisherman,"you're dead certain about what you've told us?"
nyp.33433075728570	Well, then, ca n't we go along these cliffs to some village where we can find a nice old fishing inn and get a simple lunch of some sort?"
nyp.33433075728570	What do these people mean by carrying us out to sea?
nyp.33433075728570	What do you ask for, guv'nor?"
nyp.33433075728570	What do you suppose these people want?
nyp.33433075728570	What have they come back for?''
nyp.33433075728570	What hold can Chatfield have on your cousin?
nyp.33433075728570	What is it, I say?"
nyp.33433075728570	What is it?
nyp.33433075728570	What is it?"
nyp.33433075728570	What is this fresh news?—something about — him?''
nyp.33433075728570	What makes you think that?"
nyp.33433075728570	What reason could he, an utter stranger, have for taking up his quarters at the"Admiral's Arms?"
nyp.33433075728570	What shall we do?"
nyp.33433075728570	What was it?"
nyp.33433075728570	What would hap- pen?
nyp.33433075728570	What — but you've got some notion in your mind?"
nyp.33433075728570	What's a country squire — only recently come to England, too!—to do with the Fragonard?
nyp.33433075728570	What's all this been?''
nyp.33433075728570	What's going to be done?''
nyp.33433075728570	What's the connection?
nyp.33433075728570	What's the use of worrying?
nyp.33433075728570	What?
nyp.33433075728570	What? — and has it anything to do with the Oliver mystery?''
nyp.33433075728570	What? — and has it anything to do with the Oliver mystery?''
nyp.33433075728570	What?"

nyp.33433075728570	When?"
nyp.33433075728570	Where are you from, then, and when did you come in here?"
nyp.33433075728570	Where are you from?"

nyp.33433075728570	Why do n't you let me tell you all about it and then we can be friends?"
nyp.33433075728570	Why do n't you tell the truth?"
nyp.33433075728570	Why this profes- sion of eager willingness to welcome any inquiry that might be made?
nyp.33433075728570	Why, sir, what does human nature — which is wicked — say?"
nyp.33433075728570	Why?"
nyp.33433075728570	Will Miss Greyle stand to that if she comes in?
nyp.33433075728570	Will it be out of keeping with your in- valid pose if you run?''

nyp.33433075728570	You did n't see or hear of him on your side, Audrey?"
nyp.33433075728570	You do n't believe him?"
nyp.33433075728570	You do n't quite understand, do you, Mr. Copple- stone?"
nyp.33433075728570	You do n't?
nyp.33433075728570	You have?
nyp.33433075728570	You knew Mrs. Greyle once upon a time, I think; you and your brother?"
nyp.33433075728570	You know him, then?''
nyp.33433075728570	You know how quick a man can think, guv'nor, under certain circumstances?
nyp.33433075728570	You really think this disappearance is serious?"
nyp.33433075728570	You saw him this afternoon?"
nyp.33433075728570	You say that Mr. Marston Greyle, the present owner of Scarhaven, has offered to sell his estate to Lord Altmore?
nyp.33433075728570	You were here then, of course, Mrs. Greyle?
nyp.33433075728570	You'll be careful?"
nyp.33433075728570	You'll turn straight back where you came from, miss, and in future do as I instruct — d'ye hear that, now?"
nyp.33433075728570	You're all right, Chatfield, are n't you?
nyp.33433075728570	You've just come from town, I believeT Did you hear anything?"
nyp.33433075728570	Your 69 60 SCARHAVEN KEEP father has just been to see this gentleman, Addie — perhaps he told you?"
nyp.33433075728570	and let me know what you think — will it suit me?'
nyp.33433075728570	apprehension? — he could not decide.
nyp.33433075728570	asked Copplestone bluntly,"what if he did?"
nyp.33433075728570	he said quietly,"so you've seen that?"
nyp.33433075728570	he whispered,"What do you think?"
nyp.33433075728570	how were they going to trace him?

nyp.33433075728570	she went on, raising her voice,''can you give any help here?
nyp.33433075728570	to tell me that three people — one a woman — could get away through these courts and alleys, packed as they are, without being seen?
nyp.33433075728570	•"Now I wonder whatever my father wanted to see you about?"
nyp.33433082174701	A Stanton ud look fine in stripes, wudn't she? ” “ A Stanton ca n't do much more to soil the name,she replied, stubbornly.
nyp.33433082174701	Is pertectin'women all you're doing in this country?
nyp.33433082174701	Who is this Blue Pete? nyp.33433082174701 ... And what are you afraid of, if it ai n't my gun? ” He made no reply but only looked. nyp.33433082174701 ... Are you still going to set up that cenotaph, Boy?
nyp.33433082174701	... For a woman? ” she added as he came on.
nyp.33433082174701	... What about yerself?
nyp.33433082174701	... Would you would you like to hear the rest of the letter now?"
nyp.33433082174701	A pull of the trigger — and what would have happened her?"
nyp.33433082174701	And as such, the mere fact of being one of the group is sufficient proof of rustling, do n't you think?"
nyp.33433082174701	Any message? ” She reflected.
nyp.33433082174701	Anything doing out by the Hills- any fresh traces of rustling?"
nyp.33433082174701	Are you sure?"
nyp.33433082174701	BLUE PETE IN DANGER 135 “ What was it all about, Pete? ” pleaded Ma- hon.
nyp.33433082174701	But Mira's taken her, do n't you see? ” “ Very simple,"growled the Inspector.
nyp.33433082174701	But how did you get off?
nyp.33433082174701	But why send us another warn- ing?"
nyp.33433082174701	But wot I did n't see was who fired that shot. ” “ The one that got Bilsy's rifle?
nyp.33433082174701	But you would n't quit now in the middle of the thing, would you? ” “ You'll know lots more in a few hours,"Blue Pete growled.
nyp.33433082174701	By the way, did you find Whiskers? ” Mahon frowned.
nyp.33433082174701	Ca n't yuh see that?
nyp.33433082174701	Calls yuh Boy too, eh? ” Blue Pete dropped back and lay staring up at the same bit of fleecy cloud that had sent Mahon's thoughts roaming.
nyp.33433082174701	D'yuh think Dutchy would n't do the same to you?"
nyp.33433082174701	Did you know?
nyp.33433082174701	Do n't you think I want my mother to be proud of me?
nyp.33433082174701	Fletcher's, an'the rest?
nyp.33433082174701	Give yuh a run in a mile, wudn't he?
nyp.33433082174701	Have you lost many, that you feel so keenly? ” Mira shivered.
nyp.33433082174701	He's fair loony over yuh. ” “ Think — so? ” she repeated dreamily.
nyp.33433082174701	Horse all right, I suppose?
nyp.33433082174701	How's Dutchy? ” The cowboy started.
nyp.33433082174701	Many cat- tle?"
nyp.33433082174701	Many like her in these parts? ” “ Few like her anywhere."
nyp.33433082174701	Must we call other witnesses to prove what you should be able to settle for us? ” Helen Alushed.
nyp.33433082174701	Nifty bit o’horseflesh, eh?
nyp.33433082174701	Pete, you would n't leave me with them rude fellows, would you? ” “ Yuh kin take care o'yerself, ” he said, staring at her anxiously.
nyp.33433082174701	THE COMING OF BLUE PETE 15 “ Who are you?
nyp.33433082174701	The Ser- geant —"?

nyp.33433082174701	W'y did n't you come back?
nyp.33433082174701	W'y shud I? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	Want to see him?
nyp.33433082174701	Was n't it you? ” He shook his head.
nyp.33433082174701	Was n't thinkin'o'things. ” “ Why did you leave me? ” It was Ma.
nyp.33433082174701	Was them love glances she sent yuh? ” “ Do n't talk rot!"
nyp.33433082174701	We ai n't no prize babies, are we, ole gal? ” The pinto whin- nied agreement."
nyp.33433082174701	What · can I — what can we do without you? ” The frankness of the appeal embarra sed the half- breed.
nyp.33433082174701	What, now, would you do with a horse to change it?
nyp.33433082174701	When are you go- ing to start to try?
nyp.33433082174701	Whose bunch? ” he in- quired, tossing his thumb over his shoulder.
nyp.33433082174701	Whur ye working now? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	Will you help me, Pete?
nyp.33433082174701	Will you take the job?"
nyp.33433082174701	Wot d'I need with money?"
nyp.33433082174701	Wot yuh think o'that black o'his?
nyp.33433082174701	Wot's yer fav- or- ite porridge, so to speak, an'the size o'yer hat, an'who's yer bes'girl? ” The Policeman shut his teeth.
nyp.33433082174701	Would he eat in the old famished way that had thrilled her with pride at her cooking?
nyp.33433082174701	Would he use the dishes she had made him buy?
nyp.33433082174701	Would you dishonor the Force?
nyp.33433082174701	You and me – I mean I — has got along pretty well, have n't we?
nyp.33433082174701	You are n't going for that help, are you?"
nyp.33433082174701	Yuh do n't happen t'ave a quarter o'beef in yer ves'pocket — er a keg o ’ Sanson's?
nyp.33433082174701	he made bold to inquire of the Inspector “ Since when did I make reports to you?"
nyp.33433082174701	holiday? ” Joe Stanton's lips twitched in what was to him probably a smile.
nyp.33433082174701	« D'yuh want to tell me I look like a felluh that's bin in the cooler — er oughtuh be?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ai n't I got yuh back?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ai n't I never to do what I feel like any more? ” Damn it, get out! ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ai n't a millionaire yet, eh, Bilsy?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ai n't yuh makin''nough money in the game yer in? ” asked Blue Pete innocently.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ai n't — are n't you, Jupiter, and you, Nep- tune, and Minerva, and Juno? ” Her hands passed lovingly from one to the other.
nyp.33433082174701	“ An'Miss Stanton's,"he grinned,?
nyp.33433082174701	“ And we can live on, our own life, without the Police and the rustling and the other worries. ” He found his voice then — or was it his voice?
nyp.33433082174701	“ And what are you going to do? ” He caught her keen glance, held it an instant, and nodded; and her laugh was sharp- almost coarse.
nyp.33433082174701	“ And why would n't you look?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Are you learning — teaching other women, too, the right way to say things?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Are you lonesome, miss?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ At whom?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Could anything I thought be taken as evidence?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ D'you think he wo n't forget?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Did you hope there'd be only women about the place?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Do n't we pay you enough? ” “ Hell!
nyp.33433082174701	“ Do n't you know better by this time, auntie, than to come down here while I'm practicing?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Do n't yuh think things is jes'as stiflin'fer me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Do you expect this court to take the evidence of this man? ” he demanded of the crown prose- cutor.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ef yuh feel like that w'y did n't yuh grab him w'en yuh he d the chance? ” he asked bitterly.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Eye's gone back on yuh, Bilsy?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Get any? ” he inquired with another yawn.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Going, Pete?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Got a mother, eh? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Got fresh, eh?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Got the rustlers? ” The sting of jealousy brought a slight flush to his cheek.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Had n't I better give you another lesson?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Had n't you better wait till help comes?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Have you seen him- do you know? ” Mahon returned to his vigil, worried.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Heerd o'me, eh?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Hev any trouble? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“ How far hev we come?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ How long have I been here? ” And when 40 BLUE PETER: HALF BREED they told him he tried to raise himself.
nyp.33433082174701	“ How was I to know? ” he asked himself aloud.
nyp.33433082174701	“ I ai n't swearin'to nothin', see? ” replied the half- breed suspiciously.
nyp.33433082174701	“ I heerd yuh the fus'time. ” “ Then why do n't you answer? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“ I suppose you'll tell the Police?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ I've fooled you felluhs out of a hundred head er so, eh? ” “ We knew it was you, Pete.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Is Blue Pete around? ” She swung to him suddenly without answering for a moment.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Is he there yet? ” inquired Denton.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Is n't there — another way?
nyp.33433082174701	“ It would be very dangerous for a Policeman to roam in there alone, would n't it?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Ken't I — I do somethin'? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Like it better than Stantons'-an'Wam- pole's, an?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Mighty fine ranchin'country? ” he volun- teered presently, “ ef thar's water.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Millionaire yet, Bilsy? ” he asked carelessly.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Min'— min'readin'a bit to me? ” he stam- mered.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Much rustlin'in these parts? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Not — rustlers?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Oh, why did n't they get the rustlers — long ago? ” she burst out.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Pete, dear, will you take me?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Pretty names, ai n't they?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Rustling?
nyp.33433082174701	“ S'pose they'd kep'on shootin'? ” The voice was as big and coarse as the stranger's body, but with a peculiarly ingratiating flexibility.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Say, boy,"he said over his shoulder, “ yuh know I'm goin''cause I want tuh, do n't yuh?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Say, does she know yuh feel that way?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Scare him off?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Scared?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Should we take the time? ” the Corporal protested, “ — or are you expecting a long chase?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Should we take the time? ” the Corporal protested, “ — or are you expecting a long chase?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ So yer tryin'to be caught, eh? ” he growled.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Stray?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Sure thing! ” “ You know them? ” Mahon exclaimed suspi- ciously.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Sure? ” Blue Pete blinked.
nyp.33433082174701	“ That's one o'the two! ” “ Any more o'them balls, Bilsy?
nyp.33433082174701	“ The Corporal, eh? ” he muttered at last.
nyp.33433082174701	“ They were all admitted rustlers, were they not?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Think so?
nyp.33433082174701	“ W'ich d'yuh want fust, Gineral?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ W'y did n't ye plug him when he called me a cuss?
nyp.33433082174701	“ W'y did n't yuh plug'i m in the heart,'stead o'murderin''i m this way?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Want a pal? ” “ Thought this shootin'thing was big money- an'it's swindle enough even to suit you."
nyp.33433082174701	“ Was n't there other Police around?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Whar's that Doctor Smith live, Inspector?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ What are you doing here?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ What are you doing with Blue Pete, sir?"

nyp.33433082174701	“ What d'you think of this?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ What do you think of my new skirt, Pete?
nyp.33433082174701	“ What is it, Corporal? ” “ Helen! ” In his surprise the pinto missed its stride.
nyp.33433082174701	“ What was that? ” And he answered him- self.
nyp.33433082174701	“ What you doing, Pete?
nyp.33433082174701	“ What's got into you since you flitted from the Badlands?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ What's the matter, Pete? ” “ Arm broken, that's all.
nyp.33433082174701	“ What's the matter? ” demanded Joe.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Where from? ” “ From the las'bunch — Stantons'?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Where from? ” “ From the las'bunch — Stantons'?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Where'd you get him?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Where's your horse?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Who in hell are you? ” “ The Sergeant's here — over in the hospital. ” In his subtle way the half- breed solved the situa- tion.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Who is he? ” The Inspector pointed at the glum prisoner.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Who were they, and why were they after you? ” Blue Pete pursed his lips.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Who's using a revolver?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Why did n't you let me take my chance, Pete?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Why did you fire it? ” “ To — to disturb his aim."
nyp.33433082174701	“ Why do you ask?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Why get the Inspector?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Why should n't he?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Why should they refuse to take you on because you've been helping us?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Will you tell me what it all means?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wo n't you come back to the old life?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wot do I want with writin'? ” Blue Pete growled.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wot fer? ” He had pulled Whiskers across her path so that she was forced to stop.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wot kin'o'rustlers hev yuh here anyhow?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wot's that? ” he asked abruptly.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wot's that? ” “ Oh, nothing, Pete.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wot's the game, Bilsy?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ Would what I think be evidence?
nyp.33433082174701	“ Would you swear to it?".
nyp.33433082174701	“ Wud you come too, Miss Mira? ” he asked after a pause.
nyp.33433082174701	“ You ai n't blind, are you?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You are n't frightened?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You do n't think such awful things of me, Pete?
nyp.33433082174701	“ You goin'in? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433082174701	“ You knew him?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You repeat, do you, that you did not see the prisoner on that occasion?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You saw the prisoner there?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You think so?
nyp.33433082174701	“ You were there — you fired the shot that struck the rifle of one of the rustlers from his hand, did you not? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433082174701	“ You – you ai n't really afraid — are you? ” “ I am, ” he replied quietly, “ but not of your revolver, Miss Stanton."
nyp.33433082174701	“ You'll marry me then, Pete, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You're a coward, too, are you?"
nyp.33433082174701	“ You're coming into the broncho- busting con- test next week, I s'pose? ” he remarked when he was back at the counter.
nyp.33433082174701	“ Yuh kin get him any time, ” he growled, “ an'I sure wo n't butt in. ” “ Think so, Pete? ”.
nyp.33433082174701	“'Member how yuh came?
nyp.33433076041437	. ” Red demanded furiously: “ What in hell’d you come here for? ” “ No place else to go.
nyp.33433076041437	. ” THE DARK MIRROR 85 “ You see it, too? ” Philip turned to her with a sharp glance.
nyp.33433076041437	. ” “ Really? ” Mr. Chilvers drawled.
nyp.33433076041437	. ” “ You are sure? ” Intent search of her face satisfied him.
nyp.33433076041437	. ”* 268 THE DARK MIRROR cuse anybody of murder?
nyp.33433076041437	? ” she essayed in a husky whisper.
nyp.33433076041437	After all, what did she care whether he loved her by this name or by that, so that he loved her?
nyp.33433076041437	Ah, forget it! ” “ How did I get here? ” “ I guess maybe that's somethin'you do n't know. ” Inez laughed spitefully.
nyp.33433076041437	And why not?
nyp.33433076041437	Are you Philip Fosdick or a figure in a dream?
nyp.33433076041437	Are you all right? ” “ Yes, Philip. ” “ Are you quite awake?
nyp.33433076041437	Are you all right? ” “ Yes, Philip. ” “ Are you quite awake?
nyp.33433076041437	Are you listening? ” “ Yes — yes, Philip — ” “ You must stop this fretting — take things quietly.
nyp.33433076041437	At length, however, he had to remind her: 238 THE DARK MIRROR “ You ’re not afraid g ” “ What of?
nyp.33433076041437	Because of that business at Ristori's?
nyp.33433076041437	But he wants yuh. ” “ When?
nyp.33433076041437	But how do I know he does?
nyp.33433076041437	But how is one to know what to think?
nyp.33433076041437	But how should she be jealous of Leonora, if Leonora were herself?
nyp.33433076041437	But not tomorrow — not right away. ” “ Why —? ” “ Let me go — I’ll tell you. ” He released her.
nyp.33433076041437	But what about Aunt Esther?
nyp.33433076041437	But what is this nonsense you are trying to tell me? ” She repeated: “ He killed Leonora.
nyp.33433076041437	But what's Inez to you that you've got to let her come between us and spoil everything?
nyp.33433076041437	But which was which?
nyp.33433076041437	But why need that so affect Priscilla?
nyp.33433076041437	But — ” “ Then when I see you run from me as if I were a plague, what am I to think?
nyp.33433076041437	Ca n't you say anything else?
nyp.33433076041437	Carnehan, too, and all those others, as well as Bielinsky? ” She nodded to every question.
nyp.33433076041437	Chilvers? ” Tall, slender, carrying the art of his tailor admirably, the man paused before her in an attitude of raffish ease.
nyp.33433076041437	Could you see? ” “ Nobody I ever seen before; a new bird, I guess, from some uptown precinct.
nyp.33433076041437	Did any of you get pinched for that?
nyp.33433076041437	Did n't I see her drown me- self?
nyp.33433076041437	Did n't you know? ” She shook her head impatiently, staring at the floor, struggling to recollect loose ends of memories.
nyp.33433076041437	Did two natures struggle within her, one prevailing in her hours of slumber, and not always even then?
nyp.33433076041437	Do n't you know you fainted? ” “ Fainted! ” She started indignantly.
nyp.33433076041437	Do n't you see? ” “ All but why you had to hide.
nyp.33433076041437	Do n't you think I might better finish it up, and get it out of the studio altogether? ” But Philip's disapproval was manifest.
nyp.33433076041437	Do n't you understand — don't you know what will happen if you do?
nyp.33433076041437	Do you hear me? ” 253 THE DARK MIRROR 255 slow and deep respiration of natural slumber.
nyp.33433076041437	Do you know I have n't seen you for ages? ” “ That's brazen blague, Priscilla.
nyp.33433076041437	Do you un- derstand, Philip?
nyp.33433076041437	Ever strike you that way? ” “ Sometimes. ” Priscilla hesitated, looking down at a forefinger which traced a pattern on the arm of the chair.

nyp.33433076041437	Get me?
nyp.33433076041437	Get me? ” “ But”—she implored his credulity with clasped hands extended—“I tell you, you're wrong about him, Red.
nyp.33433076041437	Had somebody spied on her and Mario and hurried ahead to tattle?
nyp.33433076041437	Have I been asleep? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076041437	Have my dreams ever proved groundless? ” “ We do n't know, yet; perhaps some of them were.
nyp.33433076041437	He muttered: “ What was that? ” “ I did n't hear anything, Red.
nyp.33433076041437	He said in sharp insistence: “ Do you hear,'Cilla?
nyp.33433076041437	He went out just a minute ago — ” “ What for? ” “ He — he said he'd get me some dry things to put on.
nyp.33433076041437	Her mind's as clear's consummy soup in a French table de hôte. ” “ Wo n't she talk?

nyp.33433076041437	How break his heart?
nyp.33433076041437	How can I do anything I know’ll mean your death? ” “ Never fear! ” The Spaniard had a short laugh of scorn.
nyp.33433076041437	How can I unmask your shameful duplicity, whatever it is, if I give you time to build up barriers?
nyp.33433076041437	How could she bring herself to confess this secret even to him?
nyp.33433076041437	How could she face him and tell him the truth?
nyp.33433076041437	How could this thing be?
nyp.33433076041437	How could you torture me so? ” “ I did n't mean to — I could n't help myself. ” “ Where have you been? ” “ Not far.
nyp.33433076041437	How could you torture me so? ” “ I did n't mean to — I could n't help myself. ” “ Where have you been? ” “ Not far.
nyp.33433076041437	How do I know Red sent you here to tell me II6 THE DARK MIRROR that?
nyp.33433076041437	How do I know this ai n't some dodge the Nut put you up to- or Inez? ” “ Hones'tº Gawd, Nora, yuh got me wrong! ” the Coke protested.
nyp.33433076041437	How far do you think you'd get if my brains did n't work for you, tell you what to do and how to get away with it without the bulls tumbling?
nyp.33433076041437	How hope to deceive that keen insight which had lifted him to his present high place in the ranks of psycho- pathologists?

nyp.33433076041437	How's it feel to be back on the farm?
nyp.33433076041437	How? ” “ T'night.
nyp.33433076041437	I did that long ago. ” “ Really, Philip? ” Misgivings put a tremor into her voice.
nyp.33433076041437	I have told you — how many times?—a hundred?
nyp.33433076041437	I have your promise? ” His will seemed to beat in waves upon her understanding; she felt unable to entertain one independent thought.
nyp.33433076041437	I know — I saw her — I saw her lying drowned in a pool-> “ I know, you told me. ” “ But how could I? ” She was startled out of her sorrow.
nyp.33433076041437	I mean, do you think she remembers —? ” “ Remembers?
nyp.33433076041437	I mean, do you think she remembers —? ” “ Remembers?
nyp.33433076041437	I presume you never kept a diary, or any record of the dreams?
nyp.33433076041437	I saw her, I know. ” “ You think so. ” “ Why do you persist in saying that?
nyp.33433076041437	I take it, that's yours, too?
nyp.33433076041437	I think you are even more beautiful than you were, more pale, perhaps, but — how does one say it?
nyp.33433076041437	I will see you again — when? ” “ Tomorrow.
nyp.33433076041437	I'll take you to Red. ” “ You? ” Leonora cried, staring.
nyp.33433076041437	I'm merely enquirin', are you sure Red's dead? ” THE DARK MIRROR 229 » “ It was in the papers “ Oh, I know Leo identified a body as Red's.
nyp.33433076041437	I54 THE DARK MIRROR “ What happened, Mario? ” I felt so funny, all of a sudden, just when the telephone began to ring: and then.
nyp.33433076041437	If this were not love, what was it?
nyp.33433076041437	In the unsavoury lower hall Leonora spoke incredulously: “ Not here? ” Inez gave a negative gesture: “ I should say not.
nyp.33433076041437	Is anything the matter? ” “ No, Philip.
nyp.33433076041437	Is it not so? ” “ Why, I do n't want to hurt you, of course.
nyp.33433076041437	LovE?
nyp.33433076041437	MERE PAINT AND CANVAs?
nyp.33433076041437	Maybe you seen the notice about it in this mornin's papers? ” “ About the fire, yes; but xx.
nyp.33433076041437	Mind my drag- gin'Inez along? ” “ No- surely not.
nyp.33433076041437	Mind tellin'me how you do it, and how long you ’ve been doin'it?
nyp.33433076041437	Not san- ity: how could one love a phantom?
nyp.33433076041437	Now of a sudden she remembered the man Mario( or was he merely a shadow?)
nyp.33433076041437	On hers?
nyp.33433076041437	Or Leonora's?
nyp.33433076041437	Or did something get in your way? ” Quite evidently Mr. Chilvers was prepared to be a good fellow and overlook that slight.
nyp.33433076041437	Or follow and beg you to tell me why? ” “ Well — if you've got to know — I was in a hurry.
nyp.33433076041437	Or was it Leonora to whom these things had one time happened and now were happen- ing again?
nyp.33433076041437	Or was she Leonora — yet once again that puppet of her life in dreams, embarked upon some new and still more terrible adventure?
nyp.33433076041437	Or, better still, arise, go forth, and court arrest?
nyp.33433076041437	Or, if there were a real I02 THE DARK MIRROR Leonora, what was the nature of the affinity that linked her mind with Priscilla ’s?
nyp.33433076041437	Philip, wo n't you help me? ” His head described a slow sign of regret.
nyp.33433076041437	Philip, you wo n't refuse me this once?
nyp.33433076041437	Philip: will you do me a favour, psycho- analyse me? ” “ What's the good?
nyp.33433076041437	Philip: will you do me a favour, psycho- analyse me? ” “ What's the good?
nyp.33433076041437	Priscilla, tell me; have you by any chance seen the afternoon papers? ” Premonition started a hand fluttering toward her bosom.
nyp.33433076041437	Receiver to ear, she said, “ Yes?
nyp.33433076041437	She did n't get away, did she?
nyp.33433076041437	She must learn of it sooner or later, wherever she is. ” “ Then — then your man did n't find out where they went from the Walpole? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076041437	She was not Leonora: so what had she to fear?
nyp.33433076041437	So do n't lose your head. ” “ Why not, when my heart —? ” “ Please!
nyp.33433076041437	Some- body's been givin'him an ear- full about yuh an'that Spanish gu 23 “ Spanish guy? ” she echoed shrilly.
nyp.33433076041437	Stand still and let my hurt heart break?
nyp.33433076041437	Start some- thing, somebody — why do n't you?
nyp.33433076041437	Suppose I do n't come? ” The dope slave shuffled spasmodically.
nyp.33433076041437	That can not affect the truth that such associations are unwise. ” “ Maybe I'm best judge of that, too. ” “ Leonora: why pretend to me?
nyp.33433076041437	That would n't be pally, would it?
nyp.33433076041437	That you are a vision, a creature of my imagination, a ghost?
nyp.33433076041437	The bulls might see and follow me. ” “ Well, what about me?
nyp.33433076041437	Undeceive yourself: THE DARK MIRROR 339- “ You love me? ” She made no answer.
nyp.33433076041437	Vermin — less than vermin, nothing! ” “ You ’re not afraid of dying? ” “ What is life without your love? ” He had a thoughtful moment.
nyp.33433076041437	Vermin — less than vermin, nothing! ” “ You ’re not afraid of dying? ” “ What is life without your love? ” He had a thoughtful moment.
nyp.33433076041437	Was anybody lagged for that?
nyp.33433076041437	Was it his love alone?
nyp.33433076041437	Was it to be her fate to love one shape of dream and hate another?
nyp.33433076041437	Was n't I suffer- ing the same way?
nyp.33433076041437	Was she Priscilla Maine delirious?
nyp.33433076041437	Was she less a prisoner here than she would be there?
nyp.33433076041437	Was she one woman waking and another when she slept?
nyp.33433076041437	Was there in her a dual personality such as reading had taught her to accept as a psychological possibility?
nyp.33433076041437	Was this too a dream?

nyp.33433076041437	We're all in this mess together, ai n't we? ” “ It ’s only Red, ” Leonora responded dully.
nyp.33433076041437	What am I to believe, then?
nyp.33433076041437	What am I to do?
nyp.33433076041437	What are such crea- tures?
nyp.33433076041437	What are those two to me — to us? ” “ Where are we? ” “ In my rooms, as you see.
nyp.33433076041437	What are those two to me — to us? ” “ Where are we? ” “ In my rooms, as you see.

nyp.33433076041437	What could I do?
nyp.33433076041437	What d'you think? ” “ You ’ve threatened me often enough, if you ever caught me with him again.
nyp.33433076041437	What did it matter whether Priscilla Maine survived or perished, so that he were not made unhappy?
nyp.33433076041437	What difference does it make?
nyp.33433076041437	What do you say? ” The panic in her eyes gave way to daze, then 96 THE DARK MIRROR to dawning comprehension.
nyp.33433076041437	What do you want? ” The Coke returned a twisted, placating gri- IIla Ce.
nyp.33433076041437	What had happened?
nyp.33433076041437	What happened to you this afternoon?
nyp.33433076041437	What have I been saying, Philip? ” “ It does n't matter.
nyp.33433076041437	What if Leonora were telling the truth about Inez?
nyp.33433076041437	What if he were lurking in the hallways of the house, or in the dark of the street outside THE DARK MIRROR 159 the door?
nyp.33433076041437	What if the bulls pipe me in the street?
nyp.33433076041437	What if they see and follow me?
nyp.33433076041437	What made me feel that way? ” “ Auto- hypnosis — a mild phase — super- induced by excitement and fretting.
nyp.33433076041437	What mattered it to her whether or not it rained?
nyp.33433076041437	What then?
nyp.33433076041437	What though Inez and Harry had mistaken her for Leonora?
nyp.33433076041437	What though she had dreamed a nightmare which coincided so mys- teriously with actual events as to scare her nearly out of her wits?
nyp.33433076041437	What time is it? ” “ A quarter to eleven 22 “ Really?

nyp.33433076041437	What time?
nyp.33433076041437	What was his duty?
nyp.33433076041437	What was the use of it, this keeping count of time?
nyp.33433076041437	What was time indeed but waste, one long- drawn torment of waiting in idleness and impotence for the sign that never came to set her free?
nyp.33433076041437	What's it all about?

nyp.33433076041437	“ What happened? ” she creaked in a voice she did not know as her own.
nyp.33433076041437	“ What makes you think I did? ” “ I do not think: I know.
nyp.33433076041437	“ What was it, Philip?

nyp.33433076041437	“ What's'at? ” Broken words brushed his stiff lips.
nyp.33433076041437	“ What's'at? ” He lifted a shaking arm and singled out Priscilla.
nyp.33433076041437	“ When do you begin? ” “ Presently.

nyp.33433076041437	“ Where? ” “ Hotel Walpole, ” Mr. Andrews stated in a voice exasperatingly matter- of- fact.
nyp.33433076041437	“ Who is Philip? ” “ Philip? ” Her look was completely blank.
nyp.33433076041437	“ Who is Philip? ” “ Philip? ” Her look was completely blank.
nyp.33433076041437	“ Who knows but death may prove infinitely more wonderful than this life of ours?
nyp.33433076041437	“ Why do you say that?
nyp.33433076041437	“ Why not? ” Philip tapped the manuscript of the dream story.
nyp.33433076041437	“ Why pick on me?
nyp.33433076041437	“ Why, Red — it's Nora! ” “ Nora? ” the gunman chattered.
nyp.33433076041437	“ Why, ” he broke out furiously—“if you do not know me, how is it you know me so well?
nyp.33433076041437	“ Whyn't you say somethin’? ” he concluded, gesticulating wildly with the pistol.
nyp.33433076041437	“ Will you oblige me?
nyp.33433076041437	“ Wo n't you be fair to me, Red?

nyp.33433076041437	“ You do n’t remember me? ” He uttered a little giggle.
nyp.33433076041437	“ You feel better, stronger, eh? ” She nodded, but her smile was still bewil- dered.
nyp.33433076041437	“ You must go now — or you'll spoil everything. ” “ Papa comin ’? ” he enquired with a knowing look.
nyp.33433076041437	“ You slept well? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076041437	“ You ’re sure? ” “ Well, she answers your description.
nyp.33433076051428	&& Why P y?
nyp.33433076051428	* “ Yes?
nyp.33433076051428	- “ You want — what? ” demanded Addie almost sharply.
nyp.33433076051428	---- “ How soon do you suppose Alan will know of — of this? ” she queried.
nyp.33433076051428	A Mrs. Siddons act, or a study for the statue of Repentance? ” Elsie laughed, and sat down.
nyp.33433076051428	Again from Una's heart welled the silent cry that in the last few hours had risen so often: “ Oh, what shall I do?
nyp.33433076051428	And besides, what on earth would you do with fifty dollars a month? ’ ” Elsie laughed outright, Addie's expression was so comical.
nyp.33433076051428	And how about you? ” he inquired suddenly and quizzically.
nyp.33433076051428	And now, ” he smiled warningly — “ may I begin the cross- examination? ” “ Yes. ” Elsie laughed interestedly.
nyp.33433076051428	And so what assur- ance had she that it would not happen again?
nyp.33433076051428	And then in answer to Elsie's look of inquiry, “ When you came to see me that afternoon — may I refer to it? ” Elsie nodded instantly.
nyp.33433076051428	And then, in a slightly lowered, confidential tone, “ Are you alone? ” “ Yes, ” answered Una, endeavoring to pattern her tones likewise.
nyp.33433076051428	And then, “ Well, dear? ” “ Well, ” she replied, with a slight, nervous laugh.
nyp.33433076051428	And then: “ Did Alan — How did you explain? ” “ I did n't, ” replied Una, truthfully enough.
nyp.33433076051428	And what explanation could she make?
nyp.33433076051428	And what explanation could she make?
nyp.33433076051428	And what is her given name? ” Renshaw laughed — a slightly sarcastic laugh.
nyp.33433076051428	And where are you going now? ” Already Elsie was turning over in her mind how best to escape.
nyp.33433076051428	And you got along all right, did n’t you? ” “ Yes, so far, ” Elsie laughed.
nyp.33433076051428	Are n't you going anywhere this summer? ” Without wait- ing for Elsie's reply, she clasped her hands.
nyp.33433076051428	Are you going down with me? ” she inquired, without turning her head.
nyp.33433076051428	Are you going to tell him how things have cleared themselves up?
nyp.33433076051428	But still, what was she ever going to do with them?
nyp.33433076051428	But there could n’t be crooked spirits, could there? ” IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER 209| Alan shook his head smilingly.
nyp.33433076051428	But what are we going to do now?
nyp.33433076051428	But what could he possibly know or IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER 81 suspect?
nyp.33433076051428	But what is a wrong life?
nyp.33433076051428	But what is the reservation? ” inquired Alan, quick to catch the trailing, unfinished sound of the sentence.
nyp.33433076051428	But what is the use of blaming me?
nyp.33433076051428	But what sort of life would you have? ” And Addie opened her eyes as if in contemplation of its hideous bare- ness.
nyp.33433076051428	But where do you consider I stand in the matter? ” Una looked at him in silence.
nyp.33433076051428	But you will plan now, wo n't you? ” “ N- no – I do n't think so. ” She tried to make the words sound as pleasant as possible.
nyp.33433076051428	But you ’d be afraid, would n’t you? ” From her easy manner of speak- ing Annie evidently had always been on familiar terms with her mistress.
nyp.33433076051428	But — well, we were both rather upset, distracted, were n’t we?
nyp.33433076051428	CHAPTER V “ TS this Park two- five- seven? ” inquired a woman's voice.
nyp.33433076051428	Can you spare a half- hour? ” “ Yes, indeed. ” Alan laughed.
nyp.33433076051428	Could anything right so great a muddle, short of the death of one or both?
nyp.33433076051428	Could n’t you trust me? ”- “ Oh, I do trust you! ” declared Elsie quickly and truthfully.
nyp.33433076051428	Could she?
nyp.33433076051428	Did she know that you saw her? ” “ I think not. ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433076051428	Did she tell you that, too? ” Calthorpe nodded in a matter- of- fact way.
nyp.33433076051428	Did you for me? ” “ Just simply starved, ” responded Elsie with a curl of the lips that under the circumstances was harmless.
nyp.33433076051428	Do n't you know who this is? ” “ I do n't, ” confessed Elsie helplessly.
nyp.33433076051428	Do n't you re- member? ” s “ No- o.
nyp.33433076051428	Do n't you think so?
nyp.33433076051428	Do n't you think so? ” “ No. ”- “ No? ” Alan laughed.
nyp.33433076051428	Do n't you think so? ” “ No. ”- “ No? ” Alan laughed.
nyp.33433076051428	Do n't you think they do? ” “ No, I do n't, ” responded Addie shortly and promptly.
nyp.33433076051428	Do you remember? ” Una made answer what was for her the truth.
nyp.33433076051428	Do you want to go out, Annie? ”- “ Yes, I ’d like to.
nyp.33433076051428	Elsie spoke almost under her breath: “ Miss Hamby? ” “ Yes. ” The nurse turned toward the bed near- est the window.
nyp.33433076051428	Feeling almost your- self again? ” “ Yes, thank you.
nyp.33433076051428	For stopping to talk to you in the lobby of a public building?
nyp.33433076051428	For the Lord's sake, what does all this tragedy business mean? ”- Elsie did not even look up.
nyp.33433076051428	Had anything been left out that could have made the discomfort and muddle more complete?
nyp.33433076051428	Has he ever been able to stay — to live — at home? ” Elsie's wide, puzzled eyes never left Addie's face.
nyp.33433076051428	Has some one — has Alan — an enemy on the road, then?
nyp.33433076051428	Her shoulder — is it —? ” “ Knitting very nicely.
nyp.33433076051428	How about Willett? ” “ Oh — Willett. ” Elsie looked impatient.
nyp.33433076051428	How are you going to begin? ” Elsie woke up from a short reverie and detailed the action already taken in the matter.
nyp.33433076051428	How are you going to do it — whatever it may mean? ” Elsie opened her eyes.
nyp.33433076051428	How can he see you? ” “ I do n't know, ” replied Una, easily enough.
nyp.33433076051428	How can one deal with an enemy that is n't even outlined?
nyp.33433076051428	How could I?
nyp.33433076051428	How could he?
nyp.33433076051428	How could you expect him to know that in this case it was n’t?
nyp.33433076051428	How does any one be good? ” “ That depends on any one ’s idea of being good, ” responded Addie promptly.
nyp.33433076051428	How is that? ”- “ Oh, on the precipitation principle, I suppose. ” “ Heavy- hearted? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076051428	How is that? ”- “ Oh, on the precipitation principle, I suppose. ” “ Heavy- hearted? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076051428	How long could it last?
nyp.33433076051428	How long have I been here? ” “ Oh, just since last night.
nyp.33433076051428	How would that Be? ” Elsie looked at him, an eagerness growing in her heart.
nyp.33433076051428	How would that be? ” “ Fine! ” Alan looked frankly at the man beside him.
nyp.33433076051428	I saw her come out of your office that afternoon. ” “ You did? ” smiling.
nyp.33433076051428	I ’m no par- asite. ” “ Where are you going to earn it? ” He was very much amused with this heroic fit of temper.
nyp.33433076051428	I'm afraid you crowded the reform operations a little, did n't you? ” “ I did n't try to reform her.
nyp.33433076051428	IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER “ Well?
nyp.33433076051428	If it is not correct, will you please forget that I came? ” Calthorpe made no reply.
nyp.33433076051428	If she could not go to Willett, whom could she go to, unless it might be the president?
nyp.33433076051428	If she was living in some other woman's body, who was living in hers?
nyp.33433076051428	If so — she did not know — what could Una do to her, anyway, more than she, herself, had done, and would do?
nyp.33433076051428	Is a great light breaking in? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076051428	Is it possible to get a card to her? ” The waiter knew him and was deferential and embarrassed.
nyp.33433076051428	Is that the kind of tyrant you have to live with? ” She smiled faintly.
nyp.33433076051428	Is the bed made up? ” inquired Una with diplomatic coolness.
nyp.33433076051428	It ’s Mary Garden, you know. ” “ Yes? ” He looked at her and there was no reading the cool, indifferent eyes.
nyp.33433076051428	Just how do you mean?
nyp.33433076051428	Leland came in to see you a few minutes ago. ” “ Yes? ” Una was almost sullenly unresponsive.
nyp.33433076051428	Leland'll be home for dinner, wo n't he? ” inquired that personage by way of answer.
nyp.33433076051428	Mrs. Van Duyn does n’t say anything about the gentleman with the double- bar- reled name this time, does she?
nyp.33433076051428	Not now. ” “ Well, do you know where she is? ” “ I have an idea.
nyp.33433076051428	Oh, I have a friend — but — Not as to the good judg- ment part. ” “ Have n't you ever talked this — your affairs over with any one?
nyp.33433076051428	One or two fellows were knocked out, but no one was killed. ” “ And was — That made her ill? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076051428	Or like the dear good ladies of old, weave gorgeous tapestries for the sitting- room walls?
nyp.33433076051428	Or shall I? ” Elsie clasped her hands nervously on her knees.
nyp.33433076051428	Or was it she?
nyp.33433076051428	Rather marked, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076051428	Shall I give them the storage receipts, too?
nyp.33433076051428	She wondered — Why could she not run away while yet she was safe?
nyp.33433076051428	So she asked, “ Whom do you blame for the accident? ” “ Both.
nyp.33433076051428	So we'll thrash it out at once. ” “ Will we? ” without giving the matter any very serious thought.
nyp.33433076051428	That same man gives me an honorable standing. ” “ And is he the only one who could? ” “ He is the only one who would. ” “ I see.
nyp.33433076051428	The hun- ger of a woman for the love and dear companion- ship of one man — would he also grant that?
nyp.33433076051428	The question is: Do you understand me? ”- Elsie looked at him with embarrassed eyes.
nyp.33433076051428	Then where'd I be? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076051428	Then, “ Can you come over? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076051428	Then, “ What time will you be over this afternoon? ” “ I was n’t planning to come over this after- noon. ”- “ Oh.
nyp.33433076051428	They pay for the use of the terminals, do n't they?
nyp.33433076051428	This is the very newest thing in the way of a mood, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076051428	Well, why not go to him?
nyp.33433076051428	Well? ” Addie's short laugh was a whole volume of comment.
nyp.33433076051428	Were the others hurt? ” she asked, and her voice sounded sweeter and rounder than usual, even in spite of her fears.
nyp.33433076051428	Were these really her features?
nyp.33433076051428	What Lily, I'd like to know? ” “ Oh, almost any kind. ” Elsie bubbled with real amusement.
nyp.33433076051428	What about it? ” “ Nothing. ” She replaced it in the drawer.
nyp.33433076051428	What are you driving at? ” Elsie caught herself up sharply, and the quick in- stinct for self- preservation flew uppermost warn- ingly.
nyp.33433076051428	What are you going to do to- day? ” “ Be good, ” parried Elsie.
nyp.33433076051428	What can you gain by an attitude like this?
nyp.33433076051428	What could she do to earn a living?
nyp.33433076051428	What do you do when you want IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER 155 to give up and there's nothing to give up to? ” in- quired Elsie.
nyp.33433076051428	What do you mean by “ restless ”? ” she queried, suddenly bethinking herself.
nyp.33433076051428	What do you want to know all this for?
nyp.33433076051428	What does all this mean? ” Elsie laughed — a bitter, reckless, twisted sort of laugh.
nyp.33433076051428	What had she had to do with com- ing here?
nyp.33433076051428	What has hap- pened to frighten you so?
nyp.33433076051428	What has happened? ” “ Why, nothing, ” replied Elsie uneasily.
nyp.33433076051428	What have you got besides that? ” nodding at the duck.
nyp.33433076051428	What have you got besides that? ” nodding at the duck.
nyp.33433076051428	What is it? ”- “ Why — nothing.
nyp.33433076051428	What is the matter? ” Elsie did not reply.
nyp.33433076051428	What new difficulties did that mean?
nyp.33433076051428	What shall you say? ” The keen, clear eyes of the man were gentle and reminiscent.
nyp.33433076051428	What should there be? ” “ Are you vexed that I stayed down south so long? ”- “ Why, of course not.
nyp.33433076051428	What should there be? ” “ Are you vexed that I stayed down south so long? ”- “ Why, of course not.
nyp.33433076051428	What terrible muddle was it?
nyp.33433076051428	What was going to become of her, after all?
nyp.33433076051428	What was the matter with her?
nyp.33433076051428	What would it show?
nyp.33433076051428	What —?
nyp.33433076051428	What —? ” She hesitated.
nyp.33433076051428	Whatever would she do with it?
nyp.33433076051428	When he spoke again it was quite gently: “ And then, what about me, Elsie?
nyp.33433076051428	Where can I go? ” The nurse came back to the window- seat, remark- ing upon the pleasant outlook provided by the gar- den beneath.
nyp.33433076051428	Where shall I turn?
nyp.33433076051428	Where's oo been? ” she fussed play- fully.
nyp.33433076051428	Who has been painting things so black?
nyp.33433076051428	Why did n't you go west with him? ” “ He did n't want me to, ” simply.
nyp.33433076051428	Why did n’t you tell me you were coming down this afternoon, you little wretch?
nyp.33433076051428	Why did you bring me here? ” From her expression the nurse evidently consid- ered that a somewhat foolish question.
nyp.33433076051428	Why not?
nyp.33433076051428	Why share those things? ” “ Well, but that brings me to my dread — to the divorce. ” “ You never used to have such a dread of it.
nyp.33433076051428	Why should she be forced to be pleasant and considerate to this man if she did not want to be?
nyp.33433076051428	Why should she be forced to be pleasant and considerate to this man if she did not want to be?
nyp.33433076051428	Why should the personality of the sinner be al- ways so much more pleasant than that of a saint?
nyp.33433076051428	Why, sweetheart? ” “ I could n't — or did n't — ask Alan any particu- lars, so I ’m asking you, ” replied Elsie with some crispness.
nyp.33433076051428	Why? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076051428	Why? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076051428	Will you come over? ” “ Oh — not this afternoon. ” “ Just as you please, ” coolly.
nyp.33433076051428	Will you run me over? ” “ I will, ” with mock condescension.
nyp.33433076051428	Will you wait? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433076051428	Wo n't you please try to see the situation as I do? ” a 238 IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER Elsie took a step in the direction of her enemy's voice.
nyp.33433076051428	Wo n't you sit down? ” Elsie smiled and sat down.
nyp.33433076051428	Would you trust things entirely to my discretion? ” “ Oh, yes, indeed! ” eagerly.
nyp.33433076051428	You do n't call that going out, do you? ” demanded Addie.
nyp.33433076051428	You do n't feel impelled to waste that perfectly good box at the opera, do you?
nyp.33433076051428	You have n't a very high opinion of me, have you? ” “ Oh, do n't let ’s discuss it that way, ” said Elsie, deprecatingly.
nyp.33433076051428	You mean, my happiness?
nyp.33433076051428	You're going out, then? ” “ No. ” Annie seemed both surprised and disappointed.
nyp.33433076051428	You're going out, then? ”& 4 No. ” Annie seemed both surprised and disappointed.
nyp.33433076051428	You've been doing a lot of practising, have n't you? ” Elsie nodded absently.
nyp.33433076051428	woman?
nyp.33433076051428	— What was his name?
nyp.33433076051428	— any one at all? ” “ No one at all since I left home.
nyp.33433076051428	— get an awful scolding? ” “ No- o: not a scolding. ” “ Humph! ” the voice took on a dry quality.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Afraid? ” he echoed.
nyp.33433076051428	“ All? ” she echoed.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Alone? ”- “ No. ”- “ Oh. ” Addie apparently reflected a moment.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Am I in on this? ” he inquired, indicating by a wave of the hand the evident close conclave of the tWO.
nyp.33433076051428	“ And did you notice any change in her after that illness? ” “ No. ” Alan looked questioningly at him.
nyp.33433076051428	“ And does your idea of being good constitute living with a man you do n't care for and who no longer cares for you? ” “ Yes, broadly speaking.
nyp.33433076051428	“ And so you do n’t think Alan is so easily fooled, after all? ” “ Why, I never did think he was, ” replied Addie, in some surprise.
nyp.33433076051428	“ And so you got this meal your- self? ” “ Yes, of course. ” “ Well, I do n't mind if I never have a worse, ” he commented.
nyp.33433076051428	“ And who should know better than I? ” Usually controlled and patient, she felt her temper slipping unaccountably.
nyp.33433076051428	“ And, as I told you, I'll deposit money monthly for you. ” “ Yes? ” Elsie's smile was cool almost to insolence.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are n't you feeling well, Mrs. Leland? ” came the anxious voice of the nurse behind her.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are you coming to town this afternoon, Elsie? ” 44 No. ” “ Why? ” “ Oh- h!
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are you coming to town this afternoon, Elsie? ” 44 No. ” “ Why? ” “ Oh- h!
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are you feeling quite yourself again? ” “ Quite, thank you, ” she answered, seating her- self.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are you getting well fast? ” she in- quired.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are you much hurt? ”& 4 No. ” The girl lay and looked her over line by line, as if satisfying a long- felt curiosity.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Are you out of house cash? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Beginning to be about ready to give up? ” in- quired Addie one morning.
nyp.33433076051428	“ But I'm a trifle disappointed in him for one reason. ” “ Yes? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076051428	“ But no joking, now — what are your plans? ” “ I have n’t made any. ” “ Well, come over and have lunch.
nyp.33433076051428	“ But there seemed nothing to do but take you home, did there?
nyp.33433076051428	“ But why do it, then?
nyp.33433076051428	“ But, oh, is n’t it a blessing you got off as well as you did?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Ca n't I have ideas of my own about being good? ” “ Yes — and they ’re not Alan's, ” responded Addie cheerfully.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Can you see to getting it yourself? ” “ Certainly, ” she replied, with the pleasant smile that seemed part of the uniform.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Can you wait a moment while I speak to the fore- man? ” • • • ► ► ► ► →→→-+*-----
nyp.33433076051428	“ Changed without changing, if you can understand what I mean? ” “ I think I can, ” smiling.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Did it die? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Did n't I always know that the ill repute was only repute?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Did n't you know that that kind of illness consti- tutes a great shock to the nervous system of a woman?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Did they take her home, too? ” “ No — to some hospital, I think.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Did — where is she? ” she asked then, after a pause of a second or so.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do n’t we need her?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do n’t we need her?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do you expect soon to be out of here? ” “ I fell and fractured my hip, ” answered the woman with a nod and a smile.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do you find any stiffness developing anywhere? ” “ Not at all.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do you know how this thing works?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do you suppose you can — go over and visit her? ” referring to Mrs. Van Duyn's request to that effect.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Do you think he'll believe it? ” “ Why, of course he'll believe it! ” promptly.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Does n't that hook up closer?
nyp.33433076051428	“ For good- ness'sake — what is this?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Go and lie down, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Going or coming? ” inquired Elsie, quizzically.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Had you planned to be at home? ” Addie answered in the affirmative and both hung up.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Has any one been talking to you? ” “ Of course not, ” sharply, but rather surprised nevertheless.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Have you any one else in view? ” inquired Addie.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Have you the tickets, then? ” “ She has. ” He made no further comment.
nyp.33433076051428	“ How are you now P Feeling all right? ” “ Oh, yes, ” replied Una.
nyp.33433076051428	“ How could I?
nyp.33433076051428	“ How could any one, when I did n't even know who the people were until you told me?
nyp.33433076051428	“ How do you do, Mrs. Leland?
nyp.33433076051428	“ How do you know he does n't want you now? ” “ Oh, I know, ” with a queer little smile.
nyp.33433076051428	“ How do you know, Elsie?
nyp.33433076051428	“ How is the world, meaning you, using the re- doubtable Annie nowadays? ” she asked presently.
nyp.33433076051428	“ How many are required to constitute that? ” “ Oh, I do n't know, ” thoughtfully.
nyp.33433076051428	“ I do n't see — I should think a road could keep its own — what do you call it?
nyp.33433076051428	“ I know that, ” mildly; “ but which is his room? ” The man pointed up the hill behind them to a small edition of the portable buildings.
nyp.33433076051428	“ I should n’t have thought Willett would stoop to anything like that. ”- “ Stoop?
nyp.33433076051428	“ I think I shall get up. ” “ And dress? ” inquired the nurse.
nyp.33433076051428	“ I — I do n't feel so sure of myself yet. ” “ You ’ve had a good scaring, have n't you? ” said the voice reflectively after a moment.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is Annie out, then? ” “ Yes, ” calmly, “ for good. ” Alan looked up in surprise.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is Mr. Calthorpe a nice man? ” she queried.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is n't that all that is really troubling you?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is n’t it funny how contrary things are?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is that you, Elsie? ” asked the voice dubiously.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is that you, Elsie? ” “ Yes. ” There was the short, reflective pause that by this time she was becoming accustomed to.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is there a Calthorpe on the staff of the L. S. and EP ‘ ’ “ Do you mean President Calthorpe? ” crisply.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is this advice given from personal experience? ” “ No, it is n't, ” confessed Willett with prompt good humor.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is this you, Elsie? ” demanded the voice — that of yesterday — a trifle dubiously.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is this you, Elsie? ”.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is this you, Lily? ”*- “ Lily'"indignantly.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Is this —? ” Leland glanced at it and then at her.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Just when what? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Me?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Me?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Might n’t I write? ” she hazarded then.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Miss Hamby?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Not contemplating suicide are you? ” Elsie laughed — a laugh whose ill nature was all for herself.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Of – of having people think I ’m the victim of — ” “ Well? ” he urged.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Or just for the bedroom? ”- “ Just for the bedroom, ” replied Una.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Shall I put them in water for you, Miss Hamby? ” “ If you like.
nyp.33433076051428	“ She does n’t do as well as Annie, does she? ” he inquired one day.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Supposing Addie is n't going to be in? ” de- murred Elsie.
nyp.33433076051428	“ That is, nothing tangible. ” “ Well, what intangible? ” 144 IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER “ Oh, ” impatiently.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Then you are sure there is nothing more you would like me to do for you? ” “ Nothing, indeed.
nyp.33433076051428	“ There is n’t anything but the pearl marquise and the sun- burst besides, is there? ” “ That's all, ” relieved.
nyp.33433076051428	“ There's sim- ply no telling what a jealous woman will do, is there? ” “ Jealous? ” Elsie was at a loss.
nyp.33433076051428	“ There's sim- ply no telling what a jealous woman will do, is there? ” “ Jealous? ” Elsie was at a loss.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Very inconsiderate of him, I'm sure. ”- “ Is n’t it?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Was it much trouble? ” he inquired, turning his head and catching the fleeting smile.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, I was very careful about that matter, was n't I?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, but what can I do, more than I am doing? ” “ Why, honey girl, nothing. ” Addie's attention flew back to her friend with quick loyalty.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, but who? ” insisted Elsie, wondering why the laugh.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, but — who —? ” she began.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, did he know, then? ” IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER 41 “ Oh, yes. ” “ Goodness! ” breathed the voice.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, do we understand each other?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, it does — does n’t it? ” “ Not necessarily.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, nurse, how is she now? ” “ Excellent, ” replied the nurse, as both approached the bedside.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, shall we go up and sit on the balcony? ” queried Calthorpe.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, what is it to be? ” “ Sing me the seaweed song, ” commanded Willett.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, who — who? ” mimicked Addie.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Well, ” she went on then, “ what are you going to do about it?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Were they much hurt? ” “ Oh, no- o.
nyp.33433076051428	“ What are you doing? ” 164 IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER “ What did you get up so early for? ” inquired Alan.
nyp.33433076051428	“ What are you doing? ” 164 IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER “ What did you get up so early for? ” inquired Alan.
nyp.33433076051428	“ What did you expect, then?
nyp.33433076051428	“ What is he like in his life?
nyp.33433076051428	“ What part of your head aches? ” she asked him.
nyp.33433076051428	“ What the dickens do you think you ’re doing?
nyp.33433076051428	“ What — how —?
nyp.33433076051428	“ When did you get back? ” “ Last night.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Which is Mr. Leland's place? ” “ Oh, Mr. Leland's up at the cutting, ” returned the man promptly.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Who has been frightening you?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Who were they in the other car? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why should n't he?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why should she hate me?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why — why — Has that accident turned you against machines, then? ” “ Yes, for a time. ” Then she went on lamely.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why, did you make her stay in? ”- “ Why, of course, ” with a laugh.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why, you know my tastes in most things, do n't you? ” 214 IN THE HOUSE OF ANOTHER She shuffled the music irritably along the piano.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why?
nyp.33433076051428	“ Why? ” she asked then, almost in a whisper.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Will you try the cloth if I bring one? ” she inquired gravely.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Would you call it an overtaking? ” she parried in reply.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Yes, a man's part — which, you know, is always trans- ferable. ”- “ Indeed? ” Renshaw smiled too.
nyp.33433076051428	“ Yes, you always have gotten off lightly, have n't you? ” “ Why, I do n't know. ” This was true enough.

nyp.33433076044837	And suppose no one had ever known the truth, about it — do you think you would have been happy? ” Penelope sighed wearily.

nyp.33433076044837	As I said I would rather tell you about that some other time — if you do n't mind? ” He saw that she could go no farther.

nyp.33433076044837	Could a million women be in physical pain, say from starvation, without all the world knowing it?
nyp.33433076044837	Could it be that frivolous, selfish Roberta Vallis was the unconscious agent of some fateful power urging Penelope Wells to look into her soul again?
nyp.33433076044837	Could she never escape from this eternal sex theme?
nyp.33433076044837	Did not Christ cast out evil spirits? ” “ I suppose so, but — times have changed. ” “ Not in the spirit world.

nyp.33433076044837	Do the men allow her to forget it?
nyp.33433076044837	Do we acknowledge its irresistible supremacy?
nyp.33433076044837	Do you believe that Mrs. Wells will die tomorrow night?
nyp.33433076044837	Do you know how to cure that trouble?
nyp.33433076044837	Do you mean to tell me you do n't remember going out of the house last night? ” “ I certainly do not.
nyp.33433076044837	Do you mind being alone with me? ” Then, before he could answer, she offered her lips.
nyp.33433076044837	Do you mind if I smoke? ” “ Of course not. ” She took a cigarette from his sil- ver case.
nyp.33433076044837	Do you really love children, Pen?

nyp.33433076044837	Had she not confessed the truth about her longing for a child?

nyp.33433076044837	Have you any idea what you did at the studio, assuming that you really went there? ” Penelope hesitated, biting her lips.
nyp.33433076044837	Have you any idea where you went? ” “ Yes — I know where I went, but I only know this from my dream.

nyp.33433076044837	Why are you confessing this, Mrs. Wells? ” Like a fury Fauvette glared at Christopher.

nyp.33433076044837	Why did it come 2''“ Because I was — lonely. ” “ Is that all?
nyp.33433076044837	Why did you let your cheek brush against mine?
nyp.33433076044837	Why do I say that after what has happened to me?
nyp.33433076044837	Why do good men and women, on some sudden, devilish impulse, do abominable things, criminal things, that they never meant to do?

nyp.33433076044837	You do n't mind these electrics? ” He turned on a strong white light that shone down upon the patient and threw the rest of the room into darkness.
nyp.33433076044837	You do n't mind? ” she turned to Herrick who was bending over her anxiously.
nyp.33433076044837	You do n't see me eating in Childs restaurants to any great extent these days, do you?

nyp.33433076044837	You surely do not believe that Mrs. Wells will die tomorrow night?
nyp.33433076044837	You told me just now that you did not know what you wrote on the sheet of paper? ” Penelope faced him scornfully.
nyp.33433076044837	You would have gone on wearing expensive clothes, would n't you?
nyp.33433076044837	and let it go at that?

nyp.33433076044837	“ But you do n't feel that way any more? ” she asked THE MIRACLE 2O3 me with a look of strange understanding in her deep eyes.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Captain Herrick tells me that you made some rather strange remarks just now? ” he said tenta- tively.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Captain Herrick told you this? ” “ Yes, he did.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Could n't you ask him to give me a few minutes?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Did I? ” she answered carelessly, and as she spoke she took up a pencil and made formless scrawls on a sheet of paper.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Did you keep your pledge? ” she insisted.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Do you mind giving me some details? ” Dr. Owen spoke in his gentlest manner, for he realized that he must gain her confidence.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Do you mind, dear?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Do you see these blue shapes or luminous figures at all times?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Do you think I am going to pull through tonight, doctor? ” she asked tremulously about three in the afternoon.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Do you think I can accept it?'
nyp.33433076044837	“ Do you think Penelope can ever love you as I can — as your Fauvette can?
nyp.33433076044837	“ How can you say such a thing? ” Chris protested.
nyp.33433076044837	“ How dare you come in here? ” she demanded in- solently.
nyp.33433076044837	“ How do you happen to know so much about this doctor? ” “ Because I have been allowed to help him.
nyp.33433076044837	“ I am rather pressed for time and — you say you are a friend of Mrs. Wells?
nyp.33433076044837	“ I must cleanse my soul of of evil — mustn't I? ” her anguished eyes begged comfort of Seraphine.
nyp.33433076044837	“ I wish that were true, sir, but — you know what I told you? ” “ About her refusing you?

nyp.33433076044837	“ If Mrs. Wells does this definite thing that you have told her to do, will she be saved? ” “ Yes, I think so, ” Leroy spoke confidently.

nyp.33433076044837	“ It ca n't do any harm, can it, sir? ” he urged with a lover's ardor, “ and it may succeed.
nyp.33433076044837	“ It's hard for you to believe, is n't it?

nyp.33433076044837	“ Nothing else?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Promise what? ” he asked unsteadily.
nyp.33433076044837	“ See?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Suppose I tell Mrs. Owen? ” she suggested.
nyp.33433076044837	“ That was the reason, Laura, was n't it? ” I whispered.
nyp.33433076044837	“ The same per- son?

nyp.33433076044837	“ What did she do? ” “ Do?

nyp.33433076044837	“ What do you mean? ” “ I must go back a little, Penelope, and tell you something important.
nyp.33433076044837	“ What do you want here? ” With a smile of infinite compassion Mrs. Walters approached like a loving mother.
nyp.33433076044837	“ What do you want me to do? ” “ I want you to have a consultation with Dr. Edgar Leroy. ” 74 POSSESSED “ Dr.

nyp.33433076044837	“ What's the answer, doctor? ” he asked presently.
nyp.33433076044837	“ What's the matter with my dress?
nyp.33433076044837	“ What's the use?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Where did you come from?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Why did you dance so much during those four years? ” “ I like dancing.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Why did you do it? ” “ I have n't any idea. ” “ And you spoke unkindly to Seraphine?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Why did you do it? ” “ I have n't any idea. ” “ And you spoke unkindly to Seraphine?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Why do you say that?
nyp.33433076044837	“ Why should n't we eat, drink and be merry? ” she demanded boldly, and I was silent.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Why — why did you lock that door? ” he asked un- steadily.
nyp.33433076044837	“ Yes. ” “ For how long? ” He shifted again uncomfortably.
nyp.33433076044837	“ You have n't dreamed that twenty times with every detail the same, have you?
nyp.33433076044837	“ You mean that as applying to Mrs. Wells? ” the doctor asked with a weary lift of the shoulders.
nyp.33433076044837	“ You say you can prove that Mrs. Wells is possessed by an evil spirit?
nyp.33433076044837	“ You seem to have a sunny, joyous nature? ” Her face lighted up.
nyp.33433076044837	“ You think it is one of those cases you told me about of — possession?
nyp.33433076044837	“ You thought she was shamming? ” suggested Owen.
nyp.33433076044837	“ You trust me, do n't you, Pen?
nyp.33433076044837	“ You will see for yourself that I am right. ” “ See for myself?
nyp.33433076044837	“ ‘ And how about the ancient and honorable practice of kissing?'
nyp.33433076044837	“ ‘ Do n’t you care for me any more?'
nyp.33433076044837	“ ‘ Do you like him? ” “ ‘ Well — rather. ’ “ ‘ Is he married or unmarried?'

nyp.33433076044837	“ ‘ Tired, dear?'
nyp.33433076044837	“ ‘ Was I – was I?'
nyp.33433076044837	“ ‘ You think women are hypocrites?'
nyp.33433076022312	'And beautiful?' nyp.33433076022312 'And you're still sure,'I asked him after a while,'that no strangers went into the Lawrence house yesterday morning?'
nyp.33433076022312	'But where has she been?' nyp.33433076022312 'Can you flag this train for me, John?'
nyp.33433076022312	'So,'I asked at last,'you've found her?' nyp.33433076022312 'That impossible ideal?'
nyp.33433076022312	'The woman you were looking for?' nyp.33433076022312 'Well?'
nyp.33433076022312	A mistake? nyp.33433076022312 A person, then, may be sane as regards some things, and insane as regards others?"
nyp.33433076022312	Ah — she did?
nyp.33433076022312	And Boyd Endicott's cousins?
nyp.33433076022312	And Ruth?
nyp.33433076022312	And could they tell you anything?
nyp.33433076022312	And did he find her?
nyp.33433076022312	And found an answer to it?
nyp.33433076022312	And he is dead?
nyp.33433076022312	And her dressing- table was a very conspicuous place?
nyp.33433076022312	And how are they succeeding?
nyp.33433076022312	And no light as to the identity of the vic- tim?
nyp.33433076022312	And no reason was ever given for this generosity on Mrs. Lawrence's part?
nyp.33433076022312	And now that you understand the matter,he continued,"I suppose you see it in a different light?"
nyp.33433076022312	And searched for her?
nyp.33433076022312	And she did not return?
nyp.33433076022312	And she had on her wedding- gown when she went downstairs?
nyp.33433076022312	And she helped on the wedding- day?
nyp.33433076022312	And she's the'ideal'Curtiss imagined he'd found?
nyp.33433076022312	And that was?
nyp.33433076022312	And that's what we're going after?
nyp.33433076022312	And the first affair is as deep a mystery as ever?
nyp.33433076022312	And then?
nyp.33433076022312	And there was only one child of this marriage?
nyp.33433076022312	And they are Mrs. Endicott's nieces?
nyp.33433076022312	And they were present at the church, were n't they?
nyp.33433076022312	And what are you doing here?
nyp.33433076022312	And what did she say?
nyp.33433076022312	And what did she tell you?
nyp.33433076022312	And what, in law, is considered insanity — what is the test for it?
nyp.33433076022312	And yet she concealed this?
nyp.33433076022312	And you came at once to New York?
nyp.33433076022312	And you came straight here?
nyp.33433076022312	And you did n't see this note?
nyp.33433076022312	And you say that you expected to stay there again to- night?
nyp.33433076022312	And you think she went of her own free will?
nyp.33433076022312	And you will let it wreck two lives?
nyp.33433076022312	And you'll be back soon?
nyp.33433076022312	And you'll be back soon?
nyp.33433076022312	And you'll tell me?
nyp.33433076022312	And your exits and entrances are, I suppose, usually by the window?
nyp.33433076022312	And your family history?
nyp.33433076022312	Are those my trousers?
nyp.33433076022312	Are you Mrs. Lawrence's maid?
nyp.33433076022312	At least, you'll hardly advise now that I keep silent?
nyp.33433076022312	At the last moment?
nyp.33433076022312	At the last moment?
nyp.33433076022312	Born there?
nyp.33433076022312	Both she and her daughter are members of your church?
nyp.33433076022312	But how do you know all this?
nyp.33433076022312	But how?
nyp.33433076022312	But if the marriage be really impossible?
nyp.33433076022312	But she was there?
nyp.33433076022312	But the boy,I asked;"where was he?"
nyp.33433076022312	But the maid?
nyp.33433076022312	But to find her — how can I do that? nyp.33433076022312 But what was the motive of it all?"
nyp.33433076022312	But who's t'e murderer?
nyp.33433076022312	But whose grave?
nyp.33433076022312	But why?
nyp.33433076022312	But wo n't it disturb Miss Kingdon?
nyp.33433076022312	But you did n't search the house nor the grounds?
nyp.33433076022312	But you suspect?
nyp.33433076022312	But you've cleared up the mystery of the mur- der?
nyp.33433076022312	But you've heard from her?
nyp.33433076022312	Can I be of any help?
nyp.33433076022312	Can you give me any description of the person who sent this message?
nyp.33433076022312	Can you tell me what these characters mean?
nyp.33433076022312	Cease? nyp.33433076022312 Concealed?"

nyp.33433076022312	Did she paint anything else?
nyp.33433076022312	Did she really paint it?

nyp.33433076022312	In a different light?
nyp.33433076022312	In the West?
nyp.33433076022312	In the cellar?
nyp.33433076022312	In what way?
nyp.33433076022312	Is it necessary?
nyp.33433076022312	Is it so important as all that?
nyp.33433076022312	Is not that enough?
nyp.33433076022312	Is that any of your business?
nyp.33433076022312	Is the maid an old servant?
nyp.33433076022312	It was about that time this morning?
nyp.33433076022312	It was here you found the letter?
nyp.33433076022312	It was lying in plain sight?
nyp.33433076022312	It was on her dressing- table, I believe?
nyp.33433076022312	Kind to them?
nyp.33433076022312	May I see the record, doctor? nyp.33433076022312 May I speak to your operator?"
nyp.33433076022312	Meet her?
nyp.33433076022312	Miss Lawrence is n't here?
nyp.33433076022312	Miss Lawrence probably left it where she thought it would be most quickly seen, do n't you think so?
nyp.33433076022312	Miss Lawrence was not here then?
nyp.33433076022312	More devoted than you?
nyp.33433076022312	Mrs. Lawrence does n't object, then, to your leaving it open?
nyp.33433076022312	Mrs. Lawrence,I asked,"what reason have you to believe that your daughter left the house?"
nyp.33433076022312	Mrs. Lawrence,I began,"has any possible explanation of your daughter's flight occurred to you?"
nyp.33433076022312	My sister?
nyp.33433076022312	No question of a mistake, I hope?
nyp.33433076022312	Nor closet nor chest into which she could have accidentally locked herself?
nyp.33433076022312	Nor suspected that there was anything amiss?
nyp.33433076022312	Not a woman to be carried away by a moment's passion?
nyp.33433076022312	Not a woman who would jump at a conclusion?
nyp.33433076022312	Not bad news, I hope?
nyp.33433076022312	Not bad news, I hope?
nyp.33433076022312	Nothing in his clothes — no letter, or anything of that sort?
nyp.33433076022312	Oh, is it you, Godfrey?
nyp.33433076022312	Or is it merely a fairy tale?
nyp.33433076022312	See it? nyp.33433076022312 She did not seem sad nor depressed?"
nyp.33433076022312	She discovered you in the cellar?
nyp.33433076022312	She has lived here ever since?
nyp.33433076022312	She is not in this house?
nyp.33433076022312	She left no message for you?
nyp.33433076022312	She was deeply devoted to Miss Lawrence, was n't she?
nyp.33433076022312	She was in the habit of coming to you with her troubles?
nyp.33433076022312	Since there was something amiss, why did your daughter not confide in you?
nyp.33433076022312	So you convinced Mrs. Lawrence that you and your sister were not guilty?
nyp.33433076022312	So you convinced Mrs. Lawrence that you and your sister were not guilty?
nyp.33433076022312	Some- thing else? nyp.33433076022312 Suppose we say sudden insanity?"
nyp.33433076022312	The message was filed at the Christopher Street office,I said,"Christopher and West streets"Pursuit 151"West Street?"
nyp.33433076022312	The side door was unlocked?
nyp.33433076022312	The story, whatever it is, is bound to be public property in a few days, I suppose?
nyp.33433076022312	The story?
nyp.33433076022312	The'other fellows,'I suppose, are your es- teemed contemporaries?
nyp.33433076022312	Then how do you explain the presence of the letter on the dresser?
nyp.33433076022312	Then it was n't she who told you the cause of her disappearance?
nyp.33433076022312	Then it's not impossible that she should be his wife?
nyp.33433076022312	Then what is Miss Kingdon doing in the cel- lar?
nyp.33433076022312	Then what possible reason could she have for deserting him? nyp.33433076022312 Then you do n't mind?
nyp.33433076022312	Then you know why your daughter left so sud- denly?
nyp.33433076022312	Then you know?
nyp.33433076022312	Then you think she really sailed?
nyp.33433076022312	Then, in your opinion, she could n't have had any- thing to do with this disappearance — advised it, perhaps assisted in it?
nyp.33433076022312	There has been no cloud?
nyp.33433076022312	There's no doubt that Miss Lawrence wrote this?
nyp.33433076022312	There's no pit or hole or trap or anything of that sort into which she could have fallen?
nyp.33433076022312	They lived in New York?
nyp.33433076022312	This is Miss Kingdon?
nyp.33433076022312	This is Mr. Lester, is n't it?
nyp.33433076022312	This is the dressing- table, is n't it?
nyp.33433076022312	This record was shown to the husband, I suppose?
nyp.33433076022312	To find out?
nyp.33433076022312	Walk into the lion's jaws? nyp.33433076022312 Warning?"
nyp.33433076022312	Was Mr. Lawrence living at the time?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it made accidentally?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it so bad as that?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it something else?
nyp.33433076022312	Was n't she in the yard?
nyp.33433076022312	Was there any one else in the hall?
nyp.33433076022312	Was your sister here at the time?
nyp.33433076022312	Well, and after that?
nyp.33433076022312	Well, and who was she?
nyp.33433076022312	Well?
nyp.33433076022312	Well?
nyp.33433076022312	Well?
nyp.33433076022312	Were you able to help him out?
nyp.33433076022312	Were you in time?
nyp.33433076022312	What did Mrs. Lawrence do?
nyp.33433076022312	What did he want?
nyp.33433076022312	What did she say? nyp.33433076022312 What has happened?"
nyp.33433076022312	What is this mystery?
nyp.33433076022312	What on earth was she doing there?
nyp.33433076022312	What significance did they have?
nyp.33433076022312	What time in the morning?
nyp.33433076022312	What time was that?
nyp.33433076022312	What was he doing in the West?
nyp.33433076022312	What was it?
nyp.33433076022312	What was that?
nyp.33433076022312	What was the colour of the gown?
nyp.33433076022312	What were you doing there?
nyp.33433076022312	What will you do for clothes?
nyp.33433076022312	What's t'at on your hand?
nyp.33433076022312	What's the matter, old fellow?
nyp.33433076022312	What's up? nyp.33433076022312 When did you meet Miss Lawrence?"
nyp.33433076022312	When did you see your mistress last?
nyp.33433076022312	When she left you, did she return upstairs?
nyp.33433076022312	Where could I search? nyp.33433076022312 Where is she?"
nyp.33433076022312	Where was it from?
nyp.33433076022312	Where will you go?
nyp.33433076022312	Where's my jailer?
nyp.33433076022312	Where's t'e guilty party?
nyp.33433076022312	Whether she did or not, who would kill her, and why?
nyp.33433076022312	Which letter?
nyp.33433076022312	Who lives in that cottage back yonder?
nyp.33433076022312	Who painted it?
nyp.33433076022312	Who sent the message?
nyp.33433076022312	Who took the mail?
nyp.33433076022312	Who was t'at feller who told me to come here?
nyp.33433076022312	Who was that?
nyp.33433076022312	Whose is it? nyp.33433076022312 Whose is it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Why did you do that?
nyp.33433076022312	Why should I have done that when Mrs. Lawrence had already done it thoroughly?
nyp.33433076022312	Why,she said at last,"what else could she have done?
nyp.33433076022312	Why?
nyp.33433076022312	Will you tell me just what happened?
nyp.33433076022312	With a train?
nyp.33433076022312	With an invited list of guests?
nyp.33433076022312	Wo n't you tell me about it?
nyp.33433076022312	Yes — what then?
nyp.33433076022312	Yes,I agreed;"yes — and yet, how explain his presence here?
nyp.33433076022312	Yes,I encouraged him, for he seemed to have come to a full stop;"and then?"
nyp.33433076022312	Yes,she said;"Lucy has been in the family for many years,"Deeper in the Maze 37"And you've always found her perfectly trust- worthy?"
nyp.33433076022312	Yes; what was this recess for, Miss Kingdon?
nyp.33433076022312	You could see nothing?
nyp.33433076022312	You have no brothers or sisters?
nyp.33433076022312	You knew Mr. Lawrence, of course?
nyp.33433076022312	You know why she left me?
nyp.33433076022312	You mean the wedding that did n't come off?
nyp.33433076022312	You mean these things had been removed?
nyp.33433076022312	You persist in that farce?
nyp.33433076022312	You remained behind in the room?
nyp.33433076022312	You think so?
nyp.33433076022312	You thought it worth while to return?
nyp.33433076022312	You were at the church,I asked,"when you heard that Miss Lawrence had disappeared?"
nyp.33433076022312	You were given a place on the road at once?' nyp.33433076022312 You — you're speaking of Marcia?"
nyp.33433076022312	You've had no word from her?
nyp.33433076022312	You've news for him?
nyp.33433076022312	You've not been down here for some days, I take it, Miss Kingdon?
nyp.33433076022312	Your daughter was mistaken?
nyp.33433076022312	Your room is near hers?
nyp.33433076022312	'How does it happen she was left for you?'
nyp.33433076022312	'Why is n't she a queen, then; or a duchess, at least?'
nyp.33433076022312	250 That Affair at Elizabeth"How long will it take?"
nyp.33433076022312	26 That Affair at Elizabeth"And you had no warning?"
nyp.33433076022312	56 That Affair at Elizabeth"When did you learn that something was wrong?"
nyp.33433076022312	6 That Affair at Elizabeth"'And you did?'
nyp.33433076022312	60 That Affair at Elizabeth"Not concealed in any way — nothing lying over it?"
nyp.33433076022312	A Battle of Wits 169"And you expect to make them so?"
nyp.33433076022312	A New Turn to the Puzzle 205"You really do n't know?"
nyp.33433076022312	An Astonishing Request 55"Peculiar?
nyp.33433076022312	An Astonishing Request 57"And you say she seemed quite as usual?"
nyp.33433076022312	An Old Acquaintance 125"Are you a reporter?"
nyp.33433076022312	An Old Acquaintance 133"A letter?"
nyp.33433076022312	And how had it been possible for the other inmates of the house to sleep U4 That Affair at Elizabeth"Here on business?"
nyp.33433076022312	And now,"he added,"what shall I do?
nyp.33433076022312	And she — was it the same with her?
nyp.33433076022312	And what other line lay open?
nyp.33433076022312	And yet, what possible connection could she have with the mystery which I had started to investigate?
nyp.33433076022312	And you?"
nyp.33433076022312	Are you sure it was n't a letter?"
nyp.33433076022312	As soon as you have any news you'll wire me?"
nyp.33433076022312	Be- sides, in that case, why should Miss Lawrence flee?
nyp.33433076022312	Besides, what could even the most unscru- pulous enemy have written?
nyp.33433076022312	But I loved the child — I had none of my own — I wanted to protect my husband's memory — Where was the sin in""Where is she?"
nyp.33433076022312	But Miss Lawrence was n't an emo- tional woman?"
nyp.33433076022312	But how came it here, crushed into a corner of this chair?
nyp.33433076022312	But what were they doing?
nyp.33433076022312	But where was the bride?
nyp.33433076022312	But why had he needed aid, when he himself was so clear- sighted, so ready- witted, so fertile of resource?
nyp.33433076022312	But why should that pictured face seem so familiar?
nyp.33433076022312	But why?"
nyp.33433076022312	But you'll not refuse me?"
nyp.33433076022312	By lurking around the house like a thief, and following women?"
nyp.33433076022312	By lurking around the house like a thief, and following women?"
nyp.33433076022312	By the way, who's this fellow Godfrey, who sent you that message?"
nyp.33433076022312	Cases that stay here that length of time are n't very common, are they?"
nyp.33433076022312	Could I be wrong in my estimate of her, after all?
nyp.33433076022312	Could it be, I asked my- self again, that this thing had been deliberately arranged?
nyp.33433076022312	Curtiss?"
nyp.33433076022312	Curtiss?"
nyp.33433076022312	Curtiss?"
nyp.33433076022312	Deeper in the Maze 43"Has Mrs. Lawrence favoured your suit for her daughter's hand?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did Miss Kingdon mention it when she saw you this morning?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did n't you hear the shot?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did she already see the fatal error of that step?
nyp.33433076022312	Did she hit you?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did she regret that she had fled?
nyp.33433076022312	Did she take you for burglars?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did you know her, sir?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did you notice the eyes, how they glared at us?"
nyp.33433076022312	Did you recognise it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Do n't you see it, man?"
nyp.33433076022312	Do you know where she is?"
nyp.33433076022312	Do you remember what a perfect one he built up in the Holladay case, and how it fell to pieces?
nyp.33433076022312	Do you suppose she'd have dragged him by his legs?"
nyp.33433076022312	Does that answer the question?"
nyp.33433076022312	Fear at my knock at that hour of the night?
nyp.33433076022312	Godfrey, what is this secret? ” “ I know what it is n't. ” “ Well, what is n't it, then? ” “ It is n't about Curtiss.
nyp.33433076022312	Godfrey, what is this secret? ” “ I know what it is n't. ” “ Well, what is n't it, then? ” “ It is n't about Curtiss.
nyp.33433076022312	Godfrey?"
nyp.33433076022312	Had I been right in my conjecture, then?
nyp.33433076022312	Had I not been thinking too much of Miss Law- rence, and too little of our client?
nyp.33433076022312	Had Marcia Lawrence really come home again?
nyp.33433076022312	Had she been false to Marcia Lawrence, and her sister true, and was this the result of that treachery?
nyp.33433076022312	Had she fled from the house of her own volition?
nyp.33433076022312	Had your daughter ever had any attachment previous to this one?"
nyp.33433076022312	Has any other possible explanation occurred to you?"
nyp.33433076022312	Have you any news?"
nyp.33433076022312	Have you ever seen Miss Law- rence?"
nyp.33433076022312	Have you worked out the rest of the story?"
nyp.33433076022312	Her sister, Miss Lucy Kingdon — why, was n't that the name you were looking for?"
nyp.33433076022312	How could he have hurt me?
nyp.33433076022312	How could she meet him, how look him in the eyes, with that secret weighing upon her?
nyp.33433076022312	How did you get in?"
nyp.33433076022312	How explain her calmness, her lack of interest?
nyp.33433076022312	How had she done it?
nyp.33433076022312	How had she succeeded in blinding her mistress so com- pletely?
nyp.33433076022312	How had she summoned courage to tell him?
nyp.33433076022312	How would she bear the shock of that meeting?
nyp.33433076022312	How would she face him when she found him awaiting her at Liverpool?
nyp.33433076022312	How would the story end?
nyp.33433076022312	How would the story end?
nyp.33433076022312	How, except on the theory that she knew where her daughter was, had assisted in her disappearance and approved of it?
nyp.33433076022312	I understand you're staying at the Sheridan?"
nyp.33433076022312	I wonder how they bore it?"
nyp.33433076022312	I wonder where that light has gone?"
nyp.33433076022312	I wonder, Lester, if you realise just how desperate it was?"
nyp.33433076022312	If Lucy Kingdon did n't aid her, who did?"
nyp.33433076022312	If the note was written here, why did she use a writing- paper different from her jo That Affair at Elizabeth own?
nyp.33433076022312	In the first place, how did this fellow know about the Kingdons?
nyp.33433076022312	Is it wrong to write that now, I wonder?
nyp.33433076022312	Is it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Is n't there a window to the cellar?"
nyp.33433076022312	Is the portrait a good one?"
nyp.33433076022312	Is there any news?"
nyp.33433076022312	It opens at ten o'clock, does n't it?"
nyp.33433076022312	It seemed to me that they were made by some person alternately rising and stooping, but why should any one do that for hours at a time?
nyp.33433076022312	It was Dr. Schuyler, was n't it?"
nyp.33433076022312	It was a handkerchief of dainty lace and it was damp — with tears?
nyp.33433076022312	It was to have been a church wedding, was n't it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Lawrence?"
nyp.33433076022312	Lawrence?"
nyp.33433076022312	Lester — what was it drove, her to it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Lester?"
nyp.33433076022312	Of course I've read the papers — there's no connection between this affair and that other one, is there, Lester?"
nyp.33433076022312	Of the maid's complicity, I had not the shadow of a doubt — but was Mrs. Lawrence a party to it, too?
nyp.33433076022312	Or did they expect to be married afterwards?"
nyp.33433076022312	Or was there, after all, another man?
nyp.33433076022312	Pursuit 153"What time did the Umbria sail?"
nyp.33433076022312	Queer affair, was n't it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Schuyler?"
nyp.33433076022312	See what, Lester?"
nyp.33433076022312	Shall I tell you where she went?
nyp.33433076022312	She has disappeared""You're sure she is n't concealed somewhere about the place?"
nyp.33433076022312	She may have done all that before she came back here""Came back here?"
nyp.33433076022312	Since you did n't hear the shot, will you kindly tell us what it was awakened you?
nyp.33433076022312	Suppose I burst- in upon her, what could I say?
nyp.33433076022312	That contour of the face — that poise of the head — where had I seen them?
nyp.33433076022312	That seems inconceivable, does n't it?"
nyp.33433076022312	That's good advice, is n't it, Lester?"
nyp.33433076022312	The Lawrences are pretty prominent, are n't they?"
nyp.33433076022312	The Old Sorrow 91"Were he and Miss Jarvis already married?
nyp.33433076022312	The first shock when she read the letter""The letter?"
nyp.33433076022312	The house before me answered all of these condi- tions; but how could I make certain that Miss Law- rence was really there?
nyp.33433076022312	There can be no doubt about this body, I suppose?"
nyp.33433076022312	There's nothing else I can do?"
nyp.33433076022312	There, 238960A The Old Sorrow 101 refuge?
nyp.33433076022312	Thirty years dead — how could any fact connected with her drive Marcia Lawrence forth into hiding at the hour of her wedding?
nyp.33433076022312	This is it — whose do you think it is?"
nyp.33433076022312	Was her self- control giving way under the strain, or had there been some new shock, some more poignant blow which she had been unable to withstand?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it anger?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it fear?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it her fault?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it here that Miss Lawrence had found refuge?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it not possible that Marcia Lawrence had been lured to the Kingdon cottage or taken there against her will?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it not possible that Marcia Lawrence was in their hands?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it not possible that my dream possessed a basis of reality?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it the letter?
nyp.33433076022312	Was it —, —?
nyp.33433076022312	Was some such ex- planation to be sought here?
nyp.33433076022312	Was there any possible explanation of such a flight?
nyp.33433076022312	Was there in his past some unnamable stain which had lain hidden till this last moment; which this stainless woman had shrunk from, horrified?
nyp.33433076022312	Was there really any connec- tion, I wondered, between that old tragedy in Mrs. Lawrence's life and this in the life of her daugh- ter?
nyp.33433076022312	Well, he described him about as I described him to you""Even to his being a musician?"
nyp.33433076022312	Were you with Mrs. Lawrence last night?"
nyp.33433076022312	What are the developments?"
nyp.33433076022312	What became of Mrs. Endicott and her daugh- ter — I think you said there was a daughter?"
nyp.33433076022312	What connection could she have?
nyp.33433076022312	What connection had she with Miss Lawrence's disappearance?
nyp.33433076022312	What could make it impossi- ble?
nyp.33433076022312	What do you suppose she's doing in the cellar?"
nyp.33433076022312	What dreadful thing was about to be revealed?
nyp.33433076022312	What else have n't you told me?"
nyp.33433076022312	What had happened?
nyp.33433076022312	What had she said?
nyp.33433076022312	What has he to offer in exchange for such perfection?"
nyp.33433076022312	What have I left?
nyp.33433076022312	What infamy was she proposing?
nyp.33433076022312	What was buried here?
nyp.33433076022312	What was happening within this house?
nyp.33433076022312	What was it had so shaken her?
nyp.33433076022312	What was she saying?
nyp.33433076022312	What was the mean- ing of that light in the cellar?
nyp.33433076022312	What was the task that was going forward there?
nyp.33433076022312	What was the trouble — a lady on board?
nyp.33433076022312	What was this woman doing in the cellar?
nyp.33433076022312	What work had been going forward there, hour after hour?
nyp.33433076022312	What's her name?"
nyp.33433076022312	When did you graduate from college?"
nyp.33433076022312	When do you go back?"
nyp.33433076022312	When is the inquest?"
nyp.33433076022312	Where is she?"
nyp.33433076022312	Where will it be held?"
nyp.33433076022312	Which is her room?"
nyp.33433076022312	Which of the women had he meant?
nyp.33433076022312	Who could say how that old injury done the Endicotts would flower and fruit?
nyp.33433076022312	Who could say what hatred, what desire for vengeance, rankled in the hearts of the Kingdons?
nyp.33433076022312	Who has been dig- ging here?
nyp.33433076022312	Who has the right to tell?"
nyp.33433076022312	Who was this person and what was this work which must be done at such an hour?
nyp.33433076022312	Whose was it?
nyp.33433076022312	Whose was that shrill and violent voice which had threat- ened me through the door?
nyp.33433076022312	Why did she shoot at you?
nyp.33433076022312	Why do n't that fellow whip up?"
nyp.33433076022312	Why need Dr. Schuyler interfere at all?
nyp.33433076022312	Why not merely dismiss him?
nyp.33433076022312	Why put her on her guard and urge the fugitive to farther flight?
nyp.33433076022312	Why should I show her that I suspected Miss Lawrence's.place of refuge?
nyp.33433076022312	Why should Miss Lawrence have chosen such a woman to attend her?
nyp.33433076022312	Why should she incur such a risk as that?"
nyp.33433076022312	Will you try to follow her, even though she expressly forbids it?"
nyp.33433076022312	Wo n't you come along?"
nyp.33433076022312	Would she not rather have fled from them with loathing?
nyp.33433076022312	You cling to the husband then, do you?"
nyp.33433076022312	You had been, you say, at the Lawrence house?"
nyp.33433076022312	You have n't happened to form a theory about it, have you?"
nyp.33433076022312	You intend to stay here.?"
nyp.33433076022312	You were in your daughter's room, I sup- pose, after she disappeared?"
nyp.33433076022312	You're at the Sheridan?"
nyp.33433076022312	You've heard about it?"
nyp.33433076022312	You've heard me speak of Burr Curtiss?"
nyp.33433076022312	You've no objection to the company of an officer?"
nyp.33433076022312	You?"
nyp.33433076022312	i Could any good come of reviving it?
nyp.33433076022312	“ I thought it was that woman ſ ” Which woman?
nyp.33433076022312	“ Incredible?
nyp.33433076022312	“ It seems incredible, does n't it? ” asked Godfrey, smiling at my bewildered countenance.
nyp.33433076022312	•"What do you know of her?"
nyp.33433075728596	A personal friend?
nyp.33433075728596	A search? nyp.33433075728596 Ah?"
nyp.33433075728596	An elderly man — grey- haired — slightly built?
nyp.33433075728596	And after that?
nyp.33433075728596	And he — a prisoner?
nyp.33433075728596	And if he is, and if you know he is — why do n't you go direct to him?'' nyp.33433075728596 And what about Collishaw?"
nyp.33433075728596	And what have you learnt that makes you come here and tell me all this?
nyp.33433075728596	And why not?
nyp.33433075728596	And — it was open?
nyp.33433075728596	And — since she is apparently — from what you say — in ignorance of her real father's past — what then?
nyp.33433075728596	And — their mother?
nyp.33433075728596	And — what do you know about Glassdale, now?
nyp.33433075728596	And — what had he been doing?
nyp.33433075728596	And — what name?
nyp.33433075728596	And — when it is n't?
nyp.33433075728596	And — you made no more inquiries?—about the wife?'' nyp.33433075728596 And — yours?"
nyp.33433075728596	And, as I've said, doctor,chimed in Mitehing- ton,"ca n't you give us a bit of information, now?
nyp.33433075728596	Anybody co- me forward about that reward your stepfather offered?
nyp.33433075728596	Are you inferring that hers wo n't?
nyp.33433075728596	Are you pressed for time?
nyp.33433075728596	Are you the Charles Claybourne mentioned there?
nyp.33433075728596	At present, is there any chance of getting a look at them?
nyp.33433075728596	Aye — and when did you start on that little game, now, doctor?
nyp.33433075728596	Aye — what?
nyp.33433075728596	Barthorpe?
nyp.33433075728596	Been at it again?
nyp.33433075728596	Bryce?
nyp.33433075728596	But if that's so,she said at last,"what's the good of coming to me?
nyp.33433075728596	But look here — do you see, gentlemen, where these collars were bought? nyp.33433075728596 But what has that got to do with it?"
nyp.33433075728596	But who says he came here?
nyp.33433075728596	But — do n't you understand? nyp.33433075728596 But — if the man was really poisoned?"
nyp.33433075728596	But — there is no malice in it? nyp.33433075728596 But — what game?
nyp.33433075728596	But — what shall you do?
nyp.33433075728596	But — you do n't mind saying — how is he going to take a hand?
nyp.33433075728596	But — you mentioned that you wished to marry the daughter? nyp.33433075728596 But — you were a detective?"
nyp.33433075728596	But, first — what do you know about Brake 1 I know you went down to Barthorpe to find out what you could — how far did your searches take you?'' nyp.33433075728596 By — whom?"
nyp.33433075728596	By — whom?
nyp.33433075728596	Bygone affairs, eh?
nyp.33433075728596	Can anybody think anything else?
nyp.33433075728596	Can you give any informa- tion?
nyp.33433075728596	Can you give any?
nyp.33433075728596	Can your Grace suggest any reason at all why he should wish to call on you?'' nyp.33433075728596 Collishaw?"
nyp.33433075728596	Come, now?
nyp.33433075728596	Danger of — what?
nyp.33433075728596	Dick has told you?
nyp.33433075728596	Did Brake know that — when he came here?
nyp.33433075728596	Did he make any reference to his wife and chil- dren?
nyp.33433075728596	Did he mention Hansford?
nyp.33433075728596	Did he say anything about his reasons for going there?'' nyp.33433075728596 Did he say how long he was going to stop here?"
nyp.33433075728596	Did she tell you that?
nyp.33433075728596	Did you ever see Brake again?
nyp.33433075728596	Did you hear anything at noon?
nyp.33433075728596	Did you see them — their faces?
nyp.33433075728596	Did you see who flung him?
nyp.33433075728596	Different complexion it puts on things, eh?
nyp.33433075728596	Digging?
nyp.33433075728596	Do I understand that's what it really comes to — in plain words?
nyp.33433075728596	Do n't you see the notice? nyp.33433075728596 Do n't you think you might wait until you're twenty- one?"
nyp.33433075728596	Do you call yourself a gentleman?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you know him?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you know if he's any relatives here in Wry- chester?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you know if your people are doing anything about identifying the dead man?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you know what Brake was?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you know what Napoleon Bonaparte once gave as sound advice to police?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you really mean to tell me that Mitchington is such a fool as to believe that I would poison a poor working man — and in that clumsy fashion?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you remember this marriage?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you remember,continued Ransford,"that Folliot got Fladgate his appointment as verger not so very long after he himself came here?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you suggest anything?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you think Brake came to Wrychester because of that?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you think I'm a simpleton, Dr. Bryce? nyp.33433075728596 Do you think your father's at the Library just now?"
nyp.33433075728596	Dr. Pember- ton Bryce?
nyp.33433075728596	Found anything?
nyp.33433075728596	Found what you wanted?
nyp.33433075728596	Going to tell all that?
nyp.33433075728596	Got anything fresh?
nyp.33433075728596	Had n't you seen that I wanted to share all your trouble about it?
nyp.33433075728596	Had you — then?
nyp.33433075728596	Has Dr. Ransford been laying flowers on a grave? — I did n't know of it. nyp.33433075728596 Has it never struck you — it must have done!—that there's consider- able mystery about Ransford?
nyp.33433075728596	Have you twigged it?
nyp.33433075728596	He did n't tell you how he'd come by it? nyp.33433075728596 He — didn't come here on that account?''
nyp.33433075728596	Heard all about this discovery of those missing Saxonsteade diamonds?
nyp.33433075728596	Hell and — What's this mean?
nyp.33433075728596	How came you to witness that marriage?
nyp.33433075728596	How can I answer that, sir, when I tell you that I never heard him breathe one word of any children?'' nyp.33433075728596 How do you know I took a scrap of paper from Braden's purse?''
nyp.33433075728596	How do you know, for instance, that any par- ticular tomb or monument is, we'll say, Jenkins's?
nyp.33433075728596	How do you know?
nyp.33433075728596	How long have you known that?
nyp.33433075728596	How long since?
nyp.33433075728596	How many years ago?
nyp.33433075728596	How much would kill anybody — pretty quick?
nyp.33433075728596	I believe there's law in this country, is n't there?—law against libel and slander, and that sort of thing, eh? nyp.33433075728596 I hear there's been an accident to that gentleman I came in with last night?"
nyp.33433075728596	I put it to you, now!—what does it look like? nyp.33433075728596 I sup- pose you know his story — and mine?"
nyp.33433075728596	I suppose you have n't heard anything of any strange person being seen lurking about up there this morning?
nyp.33433075728596	I suppose you have n't put these ideas of yours before anybody, now?
nyp.33433075728596	I suppose you're trying to find that out?
nyp.33433075728596	I thought we learned from Mrs. Partingley that he and the other man, Dellingham, spent the evening together?
nyp.33433075728596	I'm just twenty — do you really think I shall be any wiser in twelve months? nyp.33433075728596 If you do n't meet him, shall I say you'll call again?"
nyp.33433075728596	Is it any- thing serious? nyp.33433075728596 Is it possible that the poison we have beard of, just now, could get into one of those pills — by acci- dent?"
nyp.33433075728596	Is this — is Dr. Ransford within?
nyp.33433075728596	Is — is there some — some mystery?'' nyp.33433075728596 It's not a surmise on your part?"
nyp.33433075728596	It's not who — it's what are you?
nyp.33433075728596	Just a question?
nyp.33433075728596	Leading to — misfortune for him?
nyp.33433075728596	May I have the pleasure of a few minutes'conversation with you?
nyp.33433075728596	More in the air? nyp.33433075728596 Motive for what?"
nyp.33433075728596	Mr. Folliot, I believe, sir?
nyp.33433075728596	Must be a matter of doubt if there's no inscription left, is n't it?
nyp.33433075728596	No particular purpose, why?
nyp.33433075728596	No? nyp.33433075728596 Nor to the hint that his counsel threw out at the trial?"
nyp.33433075728596	Not — send him away?
nyp.33433075728596	Not? nyp.33433075728596 Now then, who is he?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now we come to the question — how was Collishaw poisoned?
nyp.33433075728596	Now what is it in that man's mere presence that's upset Ransford? nyp.33433075728596 Now, then, Collishaw?"
nyp.33433075728596	Odd?
nyp.33433075728596	Oh, I say, what's that for?
nyp.33433075728596	Oh?
nyp.33433075728596	Oh?
nyp.33433075728596	One's this — was1 the fifty pounds paid for information? nyp.33433075728596 Paradise?"
nyp.33433075728596	Present ideas?
nyp.33433075728596	Queer business that, is n't it? nyp.33433075728596 Saxonsteade, eh?"
nyp.33433075728596	Shall I find him there?
nyp.33433075728596	Shall I tell you something about Falkiner Wraye?
nyp.33433075728596	Shall I tell you something else in plain language?
nyp.33433075728596	Since — last time?
nyp.33433075728596	So you're after that thousand pound reward, eh?
nyp.33433075728596	So your theory is that Bansford got rid of both Braden and Collishaw — murdered both of them, in fact?
nyp.33433075728596	Some book in which they're put down? nyp.33433075728596 Still, I suppose, it could have been administered in a pill?"
nyp.33433075728596	Such as — what?
nyp.33433075728596	Supposing that all you say is true about — about past matters? nyp.33433075728596 That all?"
nyp.33433075728596	That description, now?—what was it?
nyp.33433075728596	That man who called himself Dellingham — who came with Brake to the Mitre Hotel at Wryehester — who is he? nyp.33433075728596 That means — you wish me to go away?''
nyp.33433075728596	That the door?
nyp.33433075728596	That's a bit of a platitude, is n't it?
nyp.33433075728596	That's how it strikes you, is it?
nyp.33433075728596	The doctor told you all this?
nyp.33433075728596	Then — though he did call — he never saw Rans- ford?
nyp.33433075728596	Then, if there's need, which I do n't admit, you acknowledge that you could save him?'' nyp.33433075728596 Think not?"
nyp.33433075728596	Think so?
nyp.33433075728596	Think so?
nyp.33433075728596	Thought of what?
nyp.33433075728596	To be explicit — what's all this to do with me?
nyp.33433075728596	To whom am I speaking, in addition to yourself, Inspector?
nyp.33433075728596	Was he a friend of yours, sir?
nyp.33433075728596	Was it before, or since, this affair developed?'' nyp.33433075728596 Well, why?"
nyp.33433075728596	Well,he asked, after a while,"did you see him again?"
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	Well?
nyp.33433075728596	What about what Ransford said before the Cor- oner?
nyp.33433075728596	What are they?
nyp.33433075728596	What are you talking about?'' nyp.33433075728596 What became of Brake's wife and children when he went to prison?"
nyp.33433075728596	What can they want, this time of night?
nyp.33433075728596	What could I do? nyp.33433075728596 What d'ye think of that?"
nyp.33433075728596	What danger?
nyp.33433075728596	What did he want, then?
nyp.33433075728596	What did you want to see me about?
nyp.33433075728596	What do you mean by com- ing in like that?
nyp.33433075728596	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433075728596	What do you mean?
nyp.33433075728596	What do you mean?'' nyp.33433075728596 What do you think of it now — in relation to what we've just heard?"
nyp.33433075728596	What do you think of the results?
nyp.33433075728596	What do you want — now?
nyp.33433075728596	What do you wish me to do?
nyp.33433075728596	What harm is there in that? nyp.33433075728596 What have they found out?"
nyp.33433075728596	What have you come here for?
nyp.33433075728596	What information do you want?
nyp.33433075728596	What is it you want to know?
nyp.33433075728596	What is it?—what are you doing there?
nyp.33433075728596	What is there behind it?
nyp.33433075728596	What man? nyp.33433075728596 What of it?"
nyp.33433075728596	What on earth are they after?
nyp.33433075728596	What sort of queer things?
nyp.33433075728596	What sources?
nyp.33433075728596	What they call healthy curiosity, I suppose? nyp.33433075728596 What was it?"
nyp.33433075728596	What — what is it? nyp.33433075728596 What!—is this closed, too?"
nyp.33433075728596	What's incredible?
nyp.33433075728596	What's it look like?
nyp.33433075728596	What's that?
nyp.33433075728596	What's that?
nyp.33433075728596	What's your conception of a man?
nyp.33433075728596	What's your theory?
nyp.33433075728596	What, now, should make Dr. Ransford cause flowers to be laid on the grave of a total stranger? nyp.33433075728596 What,"he asked in a whisper,"what have you done with that scrap of paper that you took out of Braden's purse?"
nyp.33433075728596	What?
nyp.33433075728596	What?
nyp.33433075728596	What?
nyp.33433075728596	What?
nyp.33433075728596	What?
nyp.33433075728596	Whatever sort of man are you? nyp.33433075728596 When are you going to tell me all about — Dick and myself?"
nyp.33433075728596	When was that, now?'' nyp.33433075728596 Which of them is it?"
nyp.33433075728596	Who are they?
nyp.33433075728596	Who can that be?
nyp.33433075728596	Who told you of it?
nyp.33433075728596	Who was he, then?
nyp.33433075728596	Who was he?
nyp.33433075728596	Who was she?
nyp.33433075728596	Who was that man?
nyp.33433075728596	Who — flung him?
nyp.33433075728596	Who — who?
nyp.33433075728596	Who's at the back of yours — a thousand?'' nyp.33433075728596 Why ca n't you take your answer like a man?"
nyp.33433075728596	Why did he wish to see the Duke of Saxonsteade? nyp.33433075728596 Why did n't you tell all this at the inquest?"
nyp.33433075728596	Why has n't he spoken sooner, then?
nyp.33433075728596	Why have you told me all this?
nyp.33433075728596	Why not set about it?
nyp.33433075728596	Why not tell us something? nyp.33433075728596 Why not?"
nyp.33433075728596	Will you try one, doctor?
nyp.33433075728596	Would n't it he best,she continued, speaking nervously,"if — if you do know anything about that unfortunate man — if you told it?
nyp.33433075728596	Would n't that be better than knowing that people are saying things?'' nyp.33433075728596 Would n't that solve the difficulty?''
nyp.33433075728596	Wraye — that's Folliot — paid Collishaw fifty pounds, did he?
nyp.33433075728596	Yes?
nyp.33433075728596	Yes?
nyp.33433075728596	You do n't mean it?
nyp.33433075728596	You do n't mean to say that — that you suspect he's been poisoned?
nyp.33433075728596	You do n't?
nyp.33433075728596	You found it out at Barthorpe?
nyp.33433075728596	You knew Braden?
nyp.33433075728596	You know it?
nyp.33433075728596	You looked at'em any more?
nyp.33433075728596	You made them up yourself?
nyp.33433075728596	You really think he knows something?
nyp.33433075728596	You remember him, too?
nyp.33433075728596	You remember our agreement?
nyp.33433075728596	You said — forgery?
nyp.33433075728596	You said, just now, that Glassdale could be traced?
nyp.33433075728596	You saw him — spoke with him — here in Wryches- ter?
nyp.33433075728596	You saw — what?
nyp.33433075728596	You say you know this Bryce pretty well? nyp.33433075728596 You see?"
nyp.33433075728596	You there? nyp.33433075728596 You were n't going in — there?"
nyp.33433075728596	You were on the spot first, were n't you?
nyp.33433075728596	You wo n't mind telling me what circumstances?
nyp.33433075728596	You your- self?
nyp.33433075728596	You — you do n't mean to say — be plain!—you do n't mean that you can care for an old fellow like me?
nyp.33433075728596	You'engagement was to be determined by a three months notice on either side, or, at my will, at any time by payment of three months'salary?
nyp.33433075728596	You're sure of that?
nyp.33433075728596	You've established that as a fact?
nyp.33433075728596	You've heard them?
nyp.33433075728596	You've heard?
nyp.33433075728596	You've kept this quiet, too?
nyp.33433075728596	You?
nyp.33433075728596	''But about your theory?''
nyp.33433075728596	''Came together, you say, Mrs. Partingley?''
nyp.33433075728596	''So — in addition to your other qualities,''remarked Ransf ord,''you're a gossiper?''
nyp.33433075728596	''That's what Coates has told you, of course?''
nyp.33433075728596	''These?''
nyp.33433075728596	''Well?''
nyp.33433075728596	''What did Braden ask you?''
nyp.33433075728596	''What have you against me?"
nyp.33433075728596	''What was the motive?''
nyp.33433075728596	''What's so?"
nyp.33433075728596	''What?''
nyp.33433075728596	'Can you read Latin?'
nyp.33433075728596	'Delighted to hear it, Mr. Is it the same name still?'
nyp.33433075728596	'What do you make of that?'
nyp.33433075728596	'What motive had he?
nyp.33433075728596	'Why should this man have murdered that man?
nyp.33433075728596	'— do you see?
nyp.33433075728596	130 THE PARADISE MYSTERY"With no effect?"
nyp.33433075728596	174 THE PARADISE MYSTERY And — was there some mystery still undreamt of by himself and Harker?
nyp.33433075728596	24 THE PARADISE MYSTERY"How does Miss Bewery know that she may n't be inclined to — in the future?"
nyp.33433075728596	276 278 THE PARADISE MYSTERY"Nice little place to be alone in, d'ye see?"
nyp.33433075728596	280 THE PARADISE MYSTERY"What might you know, now?"
nyp.33433075728596	80 THE PARADISE MYSTERY"Perhaps,"remarked Bryce quietly,"her ideas run in — that direction?
nyp.33433075728596	A man?"
nyp.33433075728596	A sentimental feel- ing?
nyp.33433075728596	A workman?"
nyp.33433075728596	About that business?''
nyp.33433075728596	After the autopsy?''
nyp.33433075728596	And all that puzzles me is — how was it adminis- tered?"
nyp.33433075728596	And in that case, what did the memo- randum mean which Bryce had found in the dead man's purse?
nyp.33433075728596	And taking things altogether; what are, or have been, these secret affairs which Bryce and Harker have evidently been engaged in?"
nyp.33433075728596	And the question now is —"*"Who did it?"
nyp.33433075728596	And there's another — supposing he paid Collishaw that money on behalf of somebody else?
nyp.33433075728596	And which are you, now?—one of those who think they can tell something, or one that really can tell?
nyp.33433075728596	And who's Ransford, then?
nyp.33433075728596	And why?
nyp.33433075728596	And you know, then, of course, who Braden really was?"
nyp.33433075728596	And — I suppose it has come to annoyance?"
nyp.33433075728596	And — how?''
nyp.33433075728596	And — what did it all mean, and imply, and what bearing had it on Braden or Brake's death?
nyp.33433075728596	And — what do you make out of that, now?"
nyp.33433075728596	And — what?''
nyp.33433075728596	And — who is there that would know how easily it could be administered but — a medical man?"
nyp.33433075728596	Anything on?"
nyp.33433075728596	Are they entirely independent of each other?''
nyp.33433075728596	Are you staying in the neighbourhood — or the village?"
nyp.33433075728596	Are — are you more satisfied now?"
nyp.33433075728596	Aye — and I understand you've a system whereby such a man can put his bits of savings by in your hands?"
nyp.33433075728596	Bit of information, on the quiet, eh?
nyp.33433075728596	Braden?'
nyp.33433075728596	Bryce?"
nyp.33433075728596	Bryce?"
nyp.33433075728596	But John Brake who married that Mary Bewery — who was he?
nyp.33433075728596	But do you see my point?
nyp.33433075728596	But five thousand, undivided, is — what?"
nyp.33433075728596	But it's more in the way of what I can tell, I suppose?"
nyp.33433075728596	But now — the mother?"
nyp.33433075728596	But the other — who's he, doctor?"
nyp.33433075728596	But this thing's got to be personal investigation — will you go here, for me?
nyp.33433075728596	But — if you must speak to him — and I really think you must! — will you tell him that he is not going to get — me?
nyp.33433075728596	But — if you want to know who he is, officer, why do n't you search him?
nyp.33433075728596	But — what am I to do?
nyp.33433075728596	But — what's in the future?
nyp.33433075728596	But, Lord, doctor, how can it have been done?"
nyp.33433075728596	But, do you see, doctor?
nyp.33433075728596	But,"he added, looking searchingly at her,"you do n't know anything about — Braden's hav- ing come here?"
nyp.33433075728596	Can I be of use?"
nyp.33433075728596	Coates?"
nyp.33433075728596	Come here when I want to do a bit of quiet thinking, what?"
nyp.33433075728596	Dead?
nyp.33433075728596	Dear, dear me!—is it a bad accident, now, inspector?"
nyp.33433075728596	Deramore — has been saying some things — or a thing — which — to put it plainly — might make some unpleasantness for him?"
nyp.33433075728596	Did Ransford meet him — in the Cathedral?
nyp.33433075728596	Did n't you know that, did n't you?"
nyp.33433075728596	Do you THE BACK ROOM 127 know if Ransford and Braden did meet that morn- ing?"
nyp.33433075728596	Do you call yourself even decently honest?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you see my point?"
nyp.33433075728596	Do you think — have you ever thought — that the false friend whom the counsel referred to was — Ransford?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you under- stand?"
nyp.33433075728596	Do you want more?
nyp.33433075728596	Do you want to know my opinion of you in plain words?''
nyp.33433075728596	Does Mitchington know that I overheard what he said to you, yesterday afternoon?"
nyp.33433075728596	Dr. Bryce!—a direct question should have been asked of Dr. Ransford — had he ever seen that man before?"
nyp.33433075728596	During that time, he was some- where — with whom?
nyp.33433075728596	Eh?"
nyp.33433075728596	Eh?"
nyp.33433075728596	Family interest, do n't you know — Caesar's wife, and all that sort of thing, eh?"
nyp.33433075728596	Fine roses these of mine, are n't they?"
nyp.33433075728596	Folliot was concerned in them; and who do you think the other was?
nyp.33433075728596	Folliot?"
nyp.33433075728596	Folliot?"
nyp.33433075728596	For the present, all this is between ourselves, of course?''
nyp.33433075728596	From — what?
nyp.33433075728596	Gilwaters?"
nyp.33433075728596	God! — do you think I could mistake my own eyes?"
nyp.33433075728596	Granting all you say to be true, where's the positive truth?"
nyp.33433075728596	Had n't you seen that I hated to keep silent?"
nyp.33433075728596	Had you been attending him — professionally?"
nyp.33433075728596	Have you got a minute or two to spare, sir?
nyp.33433075728596	Have you got his name — and the other gentleman's?"
nyp.33433075728596	Have you heard anything of this?"
nyp.33433075728596	He hadn't meant to rob the bank for himself, any- way, had he?"
nyp.33433075728596	He — what's the matter, sir?"
nyp.33433075728596	How long have they been at Wrychester?"
nyp.33433075728596	How many banks are there in this little city of yours?"
nyp.33433075728596	How much?
nyp.33433075728596	I could go on multiplying reasons — but to what purpose?''
nyp.33433075728596	I hated myself for being there — yet could we help it?"
nyp.33433075728596	I have actually been tempted to won- der, Dr. Bryce, if Dr. Ransford knew this man — in years gone by?
nyp.33433075728596	I hope I am not intruding on your time, Mr. Gil- waters?"
nyp.33433075728596	I never have known, and until lately Dick has been too young to care —"''Has he begun asking questions?''
nyp.33433075728596	I say!—can't you let us go in — just for a minute?''
nyp.33433075728596	I wonder if that theory of Archdale's is a correct one?
nyp.33433075728596	If it had n't been for our in- formant —""Who is your informant?"
nyp.33433075728596	If so, and Bryce has that information, why does n't he show his hand more plainly?
nyp.33433075728596	In there?"
nyp.33433075728596	In what form did Colli- shaw pay that fifty pounds to you?"
nyp.33433075728596	Is that mere conjecture on their part, or is it based on any fact?"
nyp.33433075728596	Is that your fixed de- termination?''
nyp.33433075728596	Is there any reason why I shouldn't be told — everything?"
nyp.33433075728596	Is — is it anything serious?''
nyp.33433075728596	Is — is there anything much more that I could tell?"
nyp.33433075728596	Isn't that so?"
nyp.33433075728596	Isn't there a register of burials within the Cathe- dral?"
nyp.33433075728596	Isn't there some reward offered, doctor?
nyp.33433075728596	It was n't that you had n't confidence?"
nyp.33433075728596	It was you who was called to Braden by Varner, and you were left alone with Braden's body?"
nyp.33433075728596	It's this — do you know your guardian is in danger?"
nyp.33433075728596	It's this — have we been dependent on you?"
nyp.33433075728596	Knew some one of Ransford's name once, did he?
nyp.33433075728596	Let that police inspector talk freely, as he did, with people concealed behind a curtain?
nyp.33433075728596	Look at these big handbills — but perhaps you've seen'em?
nyp.33433075728596	MAKING AN ENEMY 25 Why am I objected to as a suitor?
nyp.33433075728596	May I know — by whom?''
nyp.33433075728596	Mitchington?"
nyp.33433075728596	My conscience!—now, I wonder if that can really be?
nyp.33433075728596	Not long after he'd gone, this man Braden came to the door, and asked me if Dr. Ransford was in?
nyp.33433075728596	Not the sort of man who'll care twopence whatever's said about him, you understand?
nyp.33433075728596	Now I wonder if you'll tell me something more?''
nyp.33433075728596	Now I wonder who that old chap was?
nyp.33433075728596	Now I wonder who they really are?
nyp.33433075728596	Now is n't it the truth that the facts you are in possession of are proof enough to you that Dr. Ransford is as innocent as I am?
nyp.33433075728596	Now that you know about her father's past — for I am sure she must be John Brake's child — you wo n't allow that to — eh?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now that you've told us who he is, I suppose we can talk to him?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now then — how many men are there in a small place like this who are likely to carry fifty pounds in gold in their pockets, or to have it at hand?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now what does that prove?
nyp.33433075728596	Now you made this discovery near an old tomb, I understand?''
nyp.33433075728596	Now you, of course, have no knowledge of him, and as you do n't keep yourself posted in criminal history, you do n't know what his offence was?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now — what do you know?
nyp.33433075728596	Now, do you know — but, of course, you don't!—that your proceedings tonight were watched?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now, from all that has been found out, who was Brake's closest friend?
nyp.33433075728596	Now, really, did you 82 THE PARADISE MYSTERY ever hear of a quite respectable man who hadn't even a visiting- card or a letter upon him?
nyp.33433075728596	Now, then — isn't that so?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now, then, where did he go?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now, what did happen?
nyp.33433075728596	Now, what do you propose to do?"
nyp.33433075728596	Now, what do you suppose this means?''
nyp.33433075728596	Odd, sir, ai n't it?"
nyp.33433075728596	Of course, you've talked all this over with Harker?
nyp.33433075728596	Really, how very romantic!—and just a little — eh? — unusual?
nyp.33433075728596	Really, how very romantic!—and just a little — eh? — unusual?
nyp.33433075728596	Revenge? — just so!"
nyp.33433075728596	Richard?"
nyp.33433075728596	Shall I tell you?
nyp.33433075728596	She knew, after a moment's reflection, that it was very possible — why not?
nyp.33433075728596	Shut up? — what a lot of rot!
nyp.33433075728596	Since when were you taken into the confidence of Mitching- ton and the mysterious person from London?"
nyp.33433075728596	So that is done with?
nyp.33433075728596	So you never heard or saw anything of this man?"
nyp.33433075728596	So — do you know who John Braden really was?''
nyp.33433075728596	So — if the fifty pounds was n't paid for hush- money, what was it paid for?"
nyp.33433075728596	So — this is the man, eh?
nyp.33433075728596	Some- body's been in to say there's been an accident to a gentleman, a stranger — I hope it is n't one of the two we've got in the house?"
nyp.33433075728596	Some- thing happened?"
nyp.33433075728596	Stopping long, doctor?''
nyp.33433075728596	That it?"
nyp.33433075728596	That's it — eh?''
nyp.33433075728596	Then — who was the murderer?
nyp.33433075728596	There's no more, doctor?"
nyp.33433075728596	Therefore — do you see? — Rans- ford was left alone with — Collishaw's tin bottle!"
nyp.33433075728596	Therefore, why should Bryce pay Collishaw hush- money?''
nyp.33433075728596	They were in such deep conversation that Bryce 148 THE PARADISE MYSTERY"Well — and what then?"
nyp.33433075728596	They were these: — 1. Who, really, was the man who had registered at the Mitre under the name of John Braden?
nyp.33433075728596	Thrown — down there?
nyp.33433075728596	Two days, did n't he say?
nyp.33433075728596	Underhand work, you understand?
nyp.33433075728596	Was Dr. Ransford their uncle, their cousin — what was he to them?
nyp.33433075728596	Was he going?—was it worth his while?
nyp.33433075728596	Was he mistaken in believing that he saw him start; that he saw his cheek flush as he heard the advertisement read out?
nyp.33433075728596	Was he some man who had known Ransford in time past — and whom Ransford had no desire to meet again?
nyp.33433075728596	Was it Ransford who flung him to his death down St. Wrytha's Stair?
nyp.33433075728596	Was it possible — really possible — that there had been some meeting be- tween them in or about the Cathedral precincts that morning?
nyp.33433075728596	Was n't a legacy, for instance?"
nyp.33433075728596	Was that the real reason of the agitation in which he, Bryce, had found Ransford a few moments after the discovery of the body?
nyp.33433075728596	Well — the other?''
nyp.33433075728596	Well?"
nyp.33433075728596	What am I to answer?
nyp.33433075728596	What are you after?"
nyp.33433075728596	What are you talking about?
nyp.33433075728596	What brought you here, if one may ask — sight- seeing?'
nyp.33433075728596	What d'ye think of it V'Bryce turned and leisurely inspected on
nyp.33433075728596	What did Bryce want here?"
nyp.33433075728596	What do you make of it?"
nyp.33433075728596	What do you mean by — everything?"
nyp.33433075728596	What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433075728596	What do you think of things, now?''
nyp.33433075728596	What do you think?''
nyp.33433075728596	What does it say?"
nyp.33433075728596	What ex- plains it?
nyp.33433075728596	What game is all this?
nyp.33433075728596	What have you to say to that?
nyp.33433075728596	What inference would any- one — you yourself, for example — draw?"
nyp.33433075728596	What is it that's true?"
nyp.33433075728596	What is it you want to know, now?"
nyp.33433075728596	What is it, Varner?''
nyp.33433075728596	What is it?"
nyp.33433075728596	What is it?"
nyp.33433075728596	What is the inference to be drawn?
nyp.33433075728596	What is the probable sequence of events?
nyp.33433075728596	What names are you wanting to trace?''
nyp.33433075728596	What should I be going in there for?''
nyp.33433075728596	What was his motive?
nyp.33433075728596	What was the further probability?
nyp.33433075728596	What were you after, down there at Barthorpe?"
nyp.33433075728596	What — what is the name of the man who is her — guard- ian?"
nyp.33433075728596	What's he building up?
nyp.33433075728596	What's the inference?
nyp.33433075728596	What's your hurry, young Bewery?"
nyp.33433075728596	What, then, was the inference?
nyp.33433075728596	What?"
nyp.33433075728596	When was this — the trial?"
nyp.33433075728596	Where are you off to?"
nyp.33433075728596	Where did Brake meet him?
nyp.33433075728596	Where did he go?
nyp.33433075728596	Where should Collishaw get fifty pounds, all of a sudden?
nyp.33433075728596	Where's the office of that Friendly Society we heard about last night?"
nyp.33433075728596	Who are you, Mr. Harker?''
nyp.33433075728596	Who do you think he was?"
nyp.33433075728596	Who indeed, laughed Bryce, but John Braden, who had just come by his death in Wrychester Paradise?
nyp.33433075728596	Who may you be, now?''
nyp.33433075728596	Who were they — these two young people?
nyp.33433075728596	Who, now, was Marco?
nyp.33433075728596	Why did he wish to make a personal call on the • Duke of Saxonsteade?
nyp.33433075728596	Why have this sus- picion fastening itself on you?
nyp.33433075728596	Why should I?"
nyp.33433075728596	Why should any one but a Barthorpe man, past or present, be interested in that story so far as to carry an old account of it with him?
nyp.33433075728596	Why, then, this unmistakably furtive and half- frightened manner — which seemed to be somewhat relieved at the sight of Bryce?
nyp.33433075728596	Why, what did you see?"
nyp.33433075728596	Why?
nyp.33433075728596	Why?
nyp.33433075728596	Why?"
nyp.33433075728596	Why?''
nyp.33433075728596	Why?''
nyp.33433075728596	Will he, now?''
nyp.33433075728596	Will you give me your word of honour to respect her wishes?"
nyp.33433075728596	Will you let me go now, please?"
nyp.33433075728596	With Ransford•s consent and knowledge, of course?''
nyp.33433075728596	Within himself he was revolving a question — how would Bryce take it?
nyp.33433075728596	Would an honest man have done what he did?
nyp.33433075728596	Would it not pay him, Bryce, to encourage, to help it?
nyp.33433075728596	You do n't know him?"
nyp.33433075728596	You do n't remember ever seeing this man in that way?"
nyp.33433075728596	You knew him pretty well of late years?"
nyp.33433075728596	You never heard your servants make any remark about it?"
nyp.33433075728596	You say you've found Richard Jenkins's tomb?
nyp.33433075728596	You see the line we're on?
nyp.33433075728596	You were first on the spot, Bryce, were n't you?"
nyp.33433075728596	You'll do it soon?'
nyp.33433075728596	You're not frightened?"
nyp.33433075728596	You're sure it's over with him?"
nyp.33433075728596	You're sure you haven•t minded my asking — what I have asked?"
nyp.33433075728596	You've got a theory, of course?''
nyp.33433075728596	Your anger wo n't last more than — shall we say a day?''
nyp.33433075728596	Yours is a working- man's society, I think?
nyp.33433075728596	^s he alone?"
nyp.33433075728596	what does that mean?
nyp.33433075728596	— but Ransford, whose Christian name was Mark?
nyp.33433075728596	— now you tell me that there is a Mary Bewery who is a ward of a Dr. Mark Ransford at — where did you say?"
nyp.33433075728596	— so why does n't he let it out, and have done with it?"
nyp.33433076061179	- “ How did you know the combination of the safe? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076061179	106 THE WAN SUY DE N S APP HIRES with?
nyp.33433076061179	324 THE WAN SUY DE N S APP HIRES to save your worthless hide, have you? ” he de- manded hotly.
nyp.33433076061179	42 THE WAN SUY DEN SAPP HIRES “ Why not? ” I asked myself.
nyp.33433076061179	A detect- i ve? ” He stared at my amaze in puzzled wonder for a moment; then gave a short laugh of compre- hension.
nyp.33433076061179	All other ques- tions aside, would he not, to himself at least, con- demn my flagrant breach of the laws of hospi- tality?
nyp.33433076061179	And at 250 THE WAN SU Y DE N S AP PHIRES ten o’clock?
nyp.33433076061179	And how?
nyp.33433076061179	And the thief, this daring and resourceful cracks- man, this dramatic scamp who insisted on play- ing his perilous enterprises as farces?
nyp.33433076061179	And then the quick thought came, how shall I use this knowledge I have acquired?
nyp.33433076061179	And under arrest, would he not in all probability divulge the method by which the jewels had fallen into his hands?
nyp.33433076061179	And what then?
nyp.33433076061179	And who would issue these veiled commands?
nyp.33433076061179	And why was he here?
nyp.33433076061179	And yet why had the man followed me from the station, placed himself in a position to overhear my address?
nyp.33433076061179	Are n’t you afraid? ” There was a swagger and a dash about the fel- low, a touch of reckless audacity which was sim- ply irresistible.
nyp.33433076061179	Are you mad?
nyp.33433076061179	B.-P. himself told me that it was one of the bravest single actions he had ever seen. ” “ What does that prove? ” I asked scornfully.
nyp.33433076061179	Baggerly?
nyp.33433076061179	Because it would be through treachery and deceit, eh?
nyp.33433076061179	Being rich himself, how could he be expected to sympathise with the temptations of my poverty?
nyp.33433076061179	Bender had said that Glenn had a perfect defence, but was Baggerly so well protected?
nyp.33433076061179	Beside, would not the young men op- posite, when they saw me in the clutches of the law, remember the circumstance and comment upon it?
nyp.33433076061179	But are not the salient features of the case, the facts which stand out, perfectly clear?
nyp.33433076061179	But how did you happen to have a knowledge of her little game? ” He caught himself up sharply just as he was about to reply.
nyp.33433076061179	But you will surely see me to- morrow, will you not? ” There was almost a note of pleading in his voice.
nyp.33433076061179	But, let me see, where have you fixed your ren- dezvous?
nyp.33433076061179	But, ” seeing his look of disappointment, “ will you not come some time to- morrow, either in the morning or afternoon?
nyp.33433076061179	Ca n't you un- derstand you would thus bring upon us the very publicity and notoriety we have been striving so hard to avoid?
nyp.33433076061179	Dared I then harbour any optimistic belief in the return of the jewels from such a source?
nyp.33433076061179	De- lightful accompaniment to the opening of a honeymoon, would n’t it be? ” “ But knowing it was lies, what would we care? ” he still argued.
nyp.33433076061179	De- lightful accompaniment to the opening of a honeymoon, would n’t it be? ” “ But knowing it was lies, what would we care? ” he still argued.
nyp.33433076061179	Did I not tell her she would live to rue the encouragement she had accorded him?
nyp.33433076061179	Did he fancy I might be of further use to him?
nyp.33433076061179	Did he fancy perchance that I might be a likely subject for blackmail?
nyp.33433076061179	Did it express amusement or surprise?
nyp.33433076061179	Did it mean that he was seeking my address in order to restore the sapphires?
nyp.33433076061179	Did not Conan Doyle's sagacious hero once deduce the entire structure of a complicated case from the half- smoked butt of a “ Trichinopoly ”?
nyp.33433076061179	Did you not know that he has an apartment just across the court from yours?
nyp.33433076061179	Did you speak? ” for I had given an involuntary ex- clamation of dismay.
nyp.33433076061179	Do you follow me? ” 153 THE WAN SUY DE N S A PPHIRES “ Not exactly, I am afraid, ” I said, really puzzled.
nyp.33433076061179	Eh, what? ” for an exclamation betrayed my astonishment.
nyp.33433076061179	Give him his necklace and let him go. ” What on earth did she mean?
nyp.33433076061179	Good Heavens, why not say a cen- tury?
nyp.33433076061179	Had I not warned Elida against him?
nyp.33433076061179	Half past five?
nyp.33433076061179	Has n’t Miss Bramblestone given them to you yet? ” turning to me with quick inquiry.
nyp.33433076061179	Have you it with you? ” “ No, ” he said, smiling at my eagerness.
nyp.33433076061179	He sent you up here from the Waldorf, and tried to delay me, so as to give you time. ” “ Ah? ” he leaned over to recover his fallen cigar.
nyp.33433076061179	He'll tell you everything he knows. ” “ And Baggerly? ” I questioned.
nyp.33433076061179	His rubies were safe; why, then, was it necessary to acquaint him with the loss of the sapphires?
nyp.33433076061179	How do you know that I am not going to hand you over to the police? ” As I spoke, I motioned him to a seat in my big Morris chair.
nyp.33433076061179	How long was she upstairs; do you remember? ” “ Well, I should say from a half to three- quar- ters of an hour, ” he computed.
nyp.33433076061179	How, how could Elida have made such a stupid blunder?
nyp.33433076061179	I hardly agree with the police that 35 “ That it was one of the guests? ” I broke in eagerly.
nyp.33433076061179	I ’ll piece together what I want out of your talk, and you need know nothing of my in- tentions until the job is pulled off, see? ” I bit my lip.
nyp.33433076061179	I ’ll swear, ” shaking his head regretfully, “ I thought you were gamer than that. ” Must I confess it?
nyp.33433076061179	I'll tell you, ” eagerly; “ why not stay here and take dinner? ” “ Oh, impossible! ” Elida was fidgeting visibly.
nyp.33433076061179	I30 T H E W A N SUY DEN SAPP HIRES “ What are you doing there at my door? ” I de- manded sternly.
nyp.33433076061179	If she were to abet the robbery by her silence, why not go a step farther?
nyp.33433076061179	If you ca n't —? ” He stopped short, but the hiatus was more signifi- ca nt than words.
nyp.33433076061179	Imprisonment?
nyp.33433076061179	In that event, could Captain McCracken, could any reasonable man, credit another theory than that I had designedly attempted to make him my scapegoat?
nyp.33433076061179	It was a line from Lowell: “ One day with life and heart is more than time enough to find a world! ” One day?
nyp.33433076061179	It was a “ Mannuel Panatela. ’ Why do you ask? ” “ Oh, nothing, ” carelessly.
nyp.33433076061179	It would be nice and easy to steer an unsuspecting little mouse into a baited trap, would n’t it?
nyp.33433076061179	Might there not be some little shred of incriminating evidence hang- ing loose to demonstrate his complicity?
nyp.33433076061179	Miss Bramblestone and I must get this question of the climbing championship settled, do n’t you know?
nyp.33433076061179	Miss Yeats, now; eh?
nyp.33433076061179	Most people, ” he added abstractly, “ find it to their advantage to be frank with me. ” Was there the hint of a threat in his words?
nyp.33433076061179	My hair?
nyp.33433076061179	My shoes?
nyp.33433076061179	On the next floor, you say? ” He started forward with the evident intention of brushing by me.
nyp.33433076061179	Or it may be, he pre- ceded her and concealed himself within the room where he could observe all her movements?
nyp.33433076061179	Perhaps it was the note of decision in his voice, or the impelling glance of his bold, keen eyes?
nyp.33433076061179	Perhaps, you wish to add to the collection you have already acquired from Miss Yeats and Mrs. Van Suyden?
nyp.33433076061179	Risky?
nyp.33433076061179	Rubies and sapphires, eh?
nyp.33433076061179	Say you ’ll consent, dear; it is really neces- sary that I should go. ” “ And what about the stolen jewels? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076061179	Shall I turn it over to Bender to assist him in running his man to earth?
nyp.33433076061179	Should I cajole him to his ruin, or should I not?
nyp.33433076061179	Should I then deal directly with the man him- self, offering him a quid pro quo, my silence in exchange for Elida ’s necklace?
nyp.33433076061179	Sim- ply, that a maid threw up her position, and com- ing to town, called, for some inexplicable reason, at my hotel?
nyp.33433076061179	Still —? ” his voice trailed off into an in- credulous silence.
nyp.33433076061179	Suppose a hun- dred things? ” I cried impatiently, almost aloud.
nyp.33433076061179	That as- tute villain?
nyp.33433076061179	That may be putting it a bit bluntly; but you un- derstand?
nyp.33433076061179	The flaring headline caught my eye: “ Gorgeous Opals Stolen! ” Opals'Where had I read or heard of opals re- cently?
nyp.33433076061179	The hem of my skirt?
nyp.33433076061179	The one question which nobody seemed able to answer was, who the strange woman might be?
nyp.33433076061179	The sapphires as well as the rubies were open to you?
nyp.33433076061179	The stupid yokels probably lied under stress of their fears. ” “ What time was that? ” I asked sharply, struck by a sudden idea.
nyp.33433076061179	The two things are a bit difficult to reconcile, do n’t you know? ” “ The police? ” quickly.
nyp.33433076061179	The two things are a bit difficult to reconcile, do n’t you know? ” “ The police? ” quickly.
nyp.33433076061179	Then was it Estelle who had been the thief, I asked myself?
nyp.33433076061179	This affair is between you and me. ” “ But Baggerly is your leader; it was he who sent you up here this afternoon? ” I persisted.
nyp.33433076061179	This latest exploit of theirs for instance,—the stealing of Evelyn Arliss's opals?
nyp.33433076061179	Van Suy- den ’s Sapphires Gone?
nyp.33433076061179	Was it not a natural inference, therefore, that there had been previous communications and would be others later whenever any fresh foray was planned?
nyp.33433076061179	Was it not natural to suppose that he would view the matter from the Wan Suydens ’ standpoint rather than from mine?
nyp.33433076061179	Was there not even a specific name for dealings of the sort?
nyp.33433076061179	What could possibly account for this most unprofes- sional reserve?
nyp.33433076061179	What is it you want? ” I was as blunt as himself.
nyp.33433076061179	What other hypothesis is there which so absolutely fits the circumstances? ” The Captain did not answer me directly.
nyp.33433076061179	What was to be done?
nyp.33433076061179	What, then, were the premises from which I must draw my deductions?
nyp.33433076061179	Where are those stones? ” “ And again I tell you that you will have to ask Miss Yeats, ” I replied haughtily.
nyp.33433076061179	Where does he claim to have been that he could see so much? ” I demanded sarcastically.
nyp.33433076061179	Where does he fit into the puzzle? ” Ah- h!
nyp.33433076061179	Where on earth did Mrs. Wan Suyden pick him up? ” “ Oh, we both got to know him on the other side, ” carelessly.
nyp.33433076061179	Where were they?
nyp.33433076061179	Who can say; perhaps she had even confided to 96 THE WAN SUY DEN SAPPHIRES him the secret of the combination?
nyp.33433076061179	Who else but the leader, the master mind,-in brief, Baggerly?
nyp.33433076061179	Who has them?
nyp.33433076061179	Who was this man and what did he know?
nyp.33433076061179	Why had she sought me out?
nyp.33433076061179	Why, indeed, might I not undertake this task myself?
nyp.33433076061179	Why, it ’s as cinchy as coffee for breakfast! ” “ Did Baggerly bid you come to me with this proposition? ” I broke in upon his eager entreaty.
nyp.33433076061179	Why, then, should I sit supinely by and bow my head before the storm?
nyp.33433076061179	Why, then, should I, a respectable and law- abid- ing member of society, hesitate to give him up to the justice he so richly merited?
nyp.33433076061179	Why, then, should not your conjectures be as valuable as those of some thick- headed detec- tive? ” He reflected a second or two.
nyp.33433076061179	Why, what do you mean?
nyp.33433076061179	Why?
nyp.33433076061179	Will you kindly give me some reason for such a demonstration? ” Baggerly showed manifest confusion.
nyp.33433076061179	Would anybody ever suspect Miss Gwendolen Bramblestone?
nyp.33433076061179	Would there be anything particularly suspicious in that? ” “ No- o, ” I had to admit.
nyp.33433076061179	Yes?
nyp.33433076061179	Yet was there no way in which I could take ad- vantage of this windfall of information that had come my way?
nyp.33433076061179	You must believe that? ” I raised my eyebrows a shade, but said nothing.
nyp.33433076061179	You say that he was hard up? ” “ He said so, ” granted the Captain grudgingly.
nyp.33433076061179	You sized him up for one of us, did n't you?
nyp.33433076061179	You will be leaving here about three o'clock Monday afternoon, will you not?
nyp.33433076061179	in Central Park West car last Thursday morn- ing, about ten o'clock, kindly grant interview P. Address, “ AUTOMOBILE, ” Box 527. ” Thursday?
nyp.33433076061179	‘ It ’s strategy, not legs, that has got to save us here!?
nyp.33433076061179	“ A cigar? ” I cried.
nyp.33433076061179	“ A fortnight?
nyp.33433076061179	“ A mistake? ” repeated the Captain with lifted eyebrows.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Afraid?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Ah, only a mistake? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076061179	“ And if I agree, you ’ll bring me back the rubies and the sapphires? ” “ Sure, ” cheerfully.
nyp.33433076061179	“ And is this, ” I cried con- temptuously, “ the wonderful discovery Bender has made which appears to threaten me?
nyp.33433076061179	“ And so you knew the combination?
nyp.33433076061179	“ And you call this being a queen, do you? ” I asked with a pique that was not wholly assumed.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Are n’t you both a bit absurd? ” he returned testily to their inquiry.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Are we to waste our lives and wreck our happiness hunting up a lot of other people's trumpery?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Baggerly?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Baggerly?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Baggerly?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Baggerly? ” I exclaimed, completely dumb- founded by this latest display of audacity.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Baggerly? ” I stammered weakly, clutching at the back of a chair.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Baggerly? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433076061179	“ But how can I show you the parcel? ” I cried.
nyp.33433076061179	“ But how?
nyp.33433076061179	“ But what good does it all do you? ” he de- manded sharply.
nyp.33433076061179	“ But you will go with us, all the same, will you not, Gwendolen? ” pleaded Elida.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Did you preserve it?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Do you mean to imply that you doubt my word on so simple a matter? ” “ Oh, no, ” he disclaimed hastily.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Do you mean to say that they will search you? ” “ Of course, ” he laughed.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Does it not strike you, then, ” appealing to me, “ that it might be wise for us to run over a list of the guests?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Good Lord, woman, ca n’t you see that the game is up?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Gwendolen?
nyp.33433076061179	“ He does n’t name any one in particular, or even intimate, do n’t you know?
nyp.33433076061179	“ He is the one who has been inserting these vari- ous notices in the papers? ” He acquiesced with an indifferent shrug of the shoulders.
nyp.33433076061179	“ How dare you do that? ” I cried, springing to my feet and fac- ing him.
nyp.33433076061179	“ How do I know that you are n’t going to turn me over to the police, eh? ” he repeated argu- mentatively.
nyp.33433076061179	“ How do they ex- plain their previous statement that they were there all the time? ” “ Oh, their story is straight enough as far as that goes.
nyp.33433076061179	“ How should I 137 THE WAN SU YDEN SAPPHIRES know?"
nyp.33433076061179	“ I brought them back? ” The laughter faded suddenly from Elida ’s face, leaving only aston- ishment.
nyp.33433076061179	“ I brought them?
nyp.33433076061179	“ I hope nothing is wrong, Miss Bramblestone? ” 213 THE WAN SUY DEN SAPP HIRES he added anxiously.
nyp.33433076061179	“ I mean what would you person- ally give? ” Was the man trying to infuse a note of senti- ment into the conversation?
nyp.33433076061179	“ I mean what would you person- ally give? ” Was the man trying to infuse a note of senti- ment into the conversation?
nyp.33433076061179	“ I only wish I could prove it. ” “ And ca n’t you? ” “ No; as usual he has a perfect alibi.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Is it possible that your press agent has not al- ready blazoned the intelligence to a waiting world? ” I asked incredulously.
nyp.33433076061179	“ It was he you came here to see to- night? ” I cried, turning upon Glenn with swift conviction.
nyp.33433076061179	“ May I not stop in after dinner and see how you are? ” he asked eagerly, holding my hand in a firm clasp.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Miss Bramblestone? ” he said, advancing with a smile which he evidently designed to be engaging.
nyp.33433076061179	“ No, no, not rubies; but a necklace and tiara of sapphires! ” 32 THE WAN SUY DE N S AP PHIRES “ Sapphires? ” I gasped incredulously.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Not the Wan Suyden sapphires? ” He bowed a grave assent.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Odd how long ashes retain heat, is n’t it? ” I could have struck him, so great was my anger.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Oh, Duncan, ” I pleaded, “ do you not see how that would complicate matters?
nyp.33433076061179	“ One of those French- bred fillies, eh? ” he broke in sharply.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Our ordeal? ” I faltered, recoiling with a shock of sickening comprehension.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Perhaps, ” he said, “ she was trying to get your help in obtain- another situation? ” But I scoffed at any such explanation as that.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Probably you know at what you are driving; but I must confess I fail to understand. ” “ No? ” he grinned.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Shall we toast him? ” he asked with affected unconcern.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Shall you take a surface car up town, or the “ L ’? ” questioned Baggerly of me, as the three of us passed out the entrance.
nyp.33433076061179	“ She confided the whole thing to Baggerly P ’ “ To Baggerly? ” he echoed in astonishment.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Since you had worked out the puzzle, though, ” 291 THE WAN SUY DEN SAPP HIRES on him he looked up with a start, and — eh?
nyp.33433076061179	“ So you tumbled to that, too, eh? ” he said.
nyp.33433076061179	“ So? ” I observed airily.
nyp.33433076061179	“ That is true; but would Baggerly have dreamed that I could be so dull- witted?
nyp.33433076061179	“ The Captain, of course, declares that he saw them; but they would hardly — “ Why?
nyp.33433076061179	“ The Loss of Elida Yeats's Rubies?
nyp.33433076061179	“ The rubies are not in my pos- session. ” “ Not in your possession? ” he cried incredu- lously.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Then, what stronger evidence do we require? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Theories? ” he observed with a slight lifting of his eyebrows.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Theory? ” viciously.
nyp.33433076061179	“ There is no reason to hinder you from riding in the park, is there; or no law requiring you to wear a muzzle while you ’re there?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Throw me out, will you? ” he blustered.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What did you mean, though, by that remark about a hiding place for the sapphires? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What difference does it make what a layman like myself thinks? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433076061179	“ What difference does it make what a layman like myself thinks? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433076061179	“ What do you mean by that? ” I demanded, my indignation at his action overcoming my surprise at his presence.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433076061179	“ What do you mean? ” I faltered.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What does anybody know about this man? ” I demanded pointedly.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What does eight years of running true count to that sort?
nyp.33433076061179	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433076061179	“ What is it, Gwendolen? ” she begged.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What is so extraordinary? ” I demanded sharply, his reiterated strain commencing to get on my nerves.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What is your plan, Elida? ” I falt- ered.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What on earth is the matter? ” she demanded curiously.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What reason has he for suspecting this Harry Glenn? ” The Captain's lip curled a bit scornfully.
nyp.33433076061179	“ What value do you put on this necklace? ” he asked curtly.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Where are the rubies now? ” I asked abruptly.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Where are they, then?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Where are you going with that coat?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Where did Bender ever get the notion she had been?
nyp.33433076061179	“ Where? ” asked the driver, slamming the door upon us.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Which jewels? ” he asked glibly.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Who else could it have been? ” Then, giving them no time for further interro- gation, he deftly shifted his rôle to that of ex- aminer.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Who he is, where he comes from, what is his business? ” The Captain only tugged harder than ever at his moustache.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Why, then, was Baggerly so anxious to keep me down town? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Will you never learn, Duncan, that it is useless to try to deceive me?
nyp.33433076061179	“ With whom did you run up there? ” I asked carelessly.
nyp.33433076061179	“ You are willing to go into this scheme? ” I shook my head, but not so decidedly as before.
nyp.33433076061179	“ You brought them back with you? ” eagerly, stretching out long, curving fingers as if to seize them.
nyp.33433076061179	“ You think then that Baggerly? ” — I nodded.
nyp.33433076061179	“ You ’ll do this for me, wo n’t you, Gwen? ” he pleaded earnestly.
nyp.33433076061179	“ You ’re scheming to get a confession out of me, are n't you? ” he grinned, stroking his chin in meditative fashion.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Your conjectures might possi- bly be wrong, do n’t you know? ” Baggerly, however, took the dig in good part.
nyp.33433076061179	“ Your door? ” he repeated in a puzzled tone.
nyp.33433076048564	Will you help us?"
nyp.33433076048564	A consultation?
nyp.33433076048564	A dollar limit?
nyp.33433076048564	A microphone?
nyp.33433076048564	A telegraphone? nyp.33433076048564 And am I a — a devil?"
nyp.33433076048564	And my answer?
nyp.33433076048564	And that woman in there?
nyp.33433076048564	And the letters?
nyp.33433076048564	And then what?
nyp.33433076048564	And when they discover it? nyp.33433076048564 And why again?"
nyp.33433076048564	And you let him up?
nyp.33433076048564	And your client will make good?
nyp.33433076048564	And?
nyp.33433076048564	Another one?
nyp.33433076048564	Are n't you afraid?
nyp.33433076048564	Are n't you going to join us?
nyp.33433076048564	Are n't you just a little bit afraid of — er — friends that you may chance to make in fee city?
nyp.33433076048564	Are you going to Brooklyn?
nyp.33433076048564	Are you in business?
nyp.33433076048564	Are you — are you using the company's money?
nyp.33433076048564	Aren't — you — afraid?
nyp.33433076048564	Because —the other woman hesitated, then added,"why should I not tell you?
nyp.33433076048564	Bussian tea?
nyp.33433076048564	But that is what detectives use"Well?
nyp.33433076048564	But, do n't you dream?
nyp.33433076048564	But,he asked eagerly,"the stock certificates — what of them?"
nyp.33433076048564	Ca n't I? nyp.33433076048564 Ca n't we drive around a bit to throw him off if he should get into a cab?"
nyp.33433076048564	Ca n't you make it — less?
nyp.33433076048564	Ca n't you think of your name?
nyp.33433076048564	Can you do it? nyp.33433076048564 Can you see that from the floor?"
nyp.33433076048564	Coward?
nyp.33433076048564	Detectives employed by whom?
nyp.33433076048564	Did she ever do anything like that be- fore?
nyp.33433076048564	Did you get a check?
nyp.33433076048564	Did you?
nyp.33433076048564	Do n't you ever dream?
nyp.33433076048564	Do they suspect anything?
nyp.33433076048564	Do you ever dream of Mildred?
nyp.33433076048564	Do you really want to know the truth about your dreams?
nyp.33433076048564	Do you really, really want to know what I think?
nyp.33433076048564	Do you remember anything else that hap- pened?
nyp.33433076048564	Do you want to know what I think?
nyp.33433076048564	Do?
nyp.33433076048564	Ever of other — er — people?
nyp.33433076048564	Flora?
nyp.33433076048564	Florence — Florence what?
nyp.33433076048564	Florence?
nyp.33433076048564	For whom would you do anything?
nyp.33433076048564	Found out what?
nyp.33433076048564	Go back to whom?
nyp.33433076048564	Gost something?
nyp.33433076048564	Has Miss Larue gone?
nyp.33433076048564	Have you had any other dreams?
nyp.33433076048564	Have you seen it?
nyp.33433076048564	Hello, is this Mrs. LeMar?
nyp.33433076048564	Her clothes, you mean, Ma'am?
nyp.33433076048564	Home? nyp.33433076048564 Home?"
nyp.33433076048564	How are you, Kitty?
nyp.33433076048564	How did you do it?
nyp.33433076048564	How does Blanche Leblanc figure in the Motor Trust trouble? nyp.33433076048564 How much is he in for now?"
nyp.33433076048564	How much?
nyp.33433076048564	How?
nyp.33433076048564	I hope you're not putting money in Rub- ber?
nyp.33433076048564	I — forgive? nyp.33433076048564 I — we — are entirely free from prosecution of any kind?"
nyp.33433076048564	If you could n't hear,he smiled entering her office,"why did you rap once?"
nyp.33433076048564	If you were to be discovered — what then?
nyp.33433076048564	Indeed?
nyp.33433076048564	Is that so?
nyp.33433076048564	Is that so?
nyp.33433076048564	Is the manager in?
nyp.33433076048564	Is there no other way?
nyp.33433076048564	Is — is there a — detective?
nyp.33433076048564	It is a matter of perfect indifference,'? nyp.33433076048564 Just what seems to be the difficulty?"
nyp.33433076048564	Lee, how can I ever thank you?
nyp.33433076048564	Lord,he exclaimed in disgust,"you, too, defend it?"
nyp.33433076048564	May I join the conspiracy?
nyp.33433076048564	Might I not hand you over to the detectives who, you say, will soon be looking for you?
nyp.33433076048564	Miss Dunlap — have you that notebook?
nyp.33433076048564	Mr. Gibbons? nyp.33433076048564 Mrs. Dunlap,"he burst forth, exasper- ated,"what is the use of beating about?
nyp.33433076048564	Mrs. Dunlap,she said,"how can I ever thank you for what you have done for Kitty?
nyp.33433076048564	Mrs. Noble,said Constance calmly,"can you trust me?"
nyp.33433076048564	Mrs. Palmer? nyp.33433076048564 My God, Sheppard, what do you think?
nyp.33433076048564	No doubt you have read in the papers of this clever realty company swindle? nyp.33433076048564 No — her face, her eyes?"
nyp.33433076048564	No?
nyp.33433076048564	Not another?
nyp.33433076048564	Not my real name?
nyp.33433076048564	Oh, have you? nyp.33433076048564 Oh, what shall I do?"
nyp.33433076048564	On the contrary,rippled Stella, then added,"You're going to stay?
nyp.33433076048564	Or your address?
nyp.33433076048564	Perhaps we may hope to be reinstated after a little — er — tea — and a dance?
nyp.33433076048564	Pretty soft — eh, Bella?
nyp.33433076048564	Rum?
nyp.33433076048564	Say, that's about your style, is n't it? nyp.33433076048564 See how it works?"
nyp.33433076048564	So have I,she admitted, facing him;"but, do you know, sometimes I have thought that Malcolm Dodd is not your real name?''
nyp.33433076048564	Stay and face it? nyp.33433076048564 Swindling?"
nyp.33433076048564	Tanguez- vous?
nyp.33433076048564	That?
nyp.33433076048564	The letters are all right, are they? nyp.33433076048564 The letters do n't speak for themselves, do they?
nyp.33433076048564	The next question,she reasoned, consid- ering aloud,"is, of course, what to do?
nyp.33433076048564	The other one, then,she said,"the thick- set man who was all alone?"
nyp.33433076048564	The reward?
nyp.33433076048564	The stock?
nyp.33433076048564	Then there is doubt in your mind what you would do?
nyp.33433076048564	Then you did not mean to hint it?
nyp.33433076048564	Then you do not think a warning from me worth troubling about?
nyp.33433076048564	There is something I'd like to say to you be- sides thanking you most kindly for the good time last —"Is there anything I can do for you?
nyp.33433076048564	To what am I indebted for the pleas of this unexpected visit, Sybil?
nyp.33433076048564	Vespuccia — Santos — Gordon?
nyp.33433076048564	Was he merely a live spender whom she could not afford to lose? nyp.33433076048564 Was it necessary that Mr. Brainard should put his arm around you for that?"
nyp.33433076048564	Was that the man who was following you?
nyp.33433076048564	Was this but a foretaste of the ostracism of the world? nyp.33433076048564 We are ready for them?"
nyp.33433076048564	Well — what's all this?
nyp.33433076048564	Well, what do I really know about that?
nyp.33433076048564	Well, young lady,she said haughtily,''do you realize what you are doing and with whom you are?''
nyp.33433076048564	Well?
nyp.33433076048564	Well?
nyp.33433076048564	Wh- what is it?
nyp.33433076048564	Wh- what is it?
nyp.33433076048564	What are you,she hissed,"one of these department store Moll Dicks, too?"
nyp.33433076048564	What did you say you called this thing?
nyp.33433076048564	What do you care, Anita? nyp.33433076048564 What do you mean?"
nyp.33433076048564	What has happened?
nyp.33433076048564	What have I done?
nyp.33433076048564	What have you done?
nyp.33433076048564	What is it that you want to say? nyp.33433076048564 What is it?"
nyp.33433076048564	What is it?
nyp.33433076048564	What is the game?
nyp.33433076048564	What is the matter?
nyp.33433076048564	What is the use of tempting fortune?
nyp.33433076048564	What is the whole of Central America to me compared to you?
nyp.33433076048564	What luck to- day? nyp.33433076048564 What name did you give at the tea room?''
nyp.33433076048564	What of it? nyp.33433076048564 What of it?
nyp.33433076048564	What shall I do? nyp.33433076048564 What shall it be to- night — bridge?"
nyp.33433076048564	What would you do?
nyp.33433076048564	What would you have me do — take you with me?
nyp.33433076048564	What — Constance?
nyp.33433076048564	What's that? nyp.33433076048564 What's the matter, Chloe?"
nyp.33433076048564	When did you see him before?
nyp.33433076048564	When?
nyp.33433076048564	Where does he get the stuff?
nyp.33433076048564	Where's Santos?
nyp.33433076048564	Where's your husband?
nyp.33433076048564	Where? nyp.33433076048564 Where?"
nyp.33433076048564	Who forged those Carlton Realty checks?
nyp.33433076048564	Who has been doing the shadowing?
nyp.33433076048564	Who is Madame Cassandra?
nyp.33433076048564	Who is it? nyp.33433076048564 Who is that?"
nyp.33433076048564	Who made you do it? nyp.33433076048564 Who says I am swin- dling?"
nyp.33433076048564	Who was he?
nyp.33433076048564	Who was it?
nyp.33433076048564	Who was your friend?
nyp.33433076048564	Who — who the devil are you?
nyp.33433076048564	Who? nyp.33433076048564 Why did she tell me that?"
nyp.33433076048564	Why do you ask?
nyp.33433076048564	Why quit yet? nyp.33433076048564 Why should I not use some of this idle money to pay me what I ought to have?
nyp.33433076048564	Why talk of suicide?
nyp.33433076048564	Why this — this burglary?
nyp.33433076048564	Why wo n't you go home?
nyp.33433076048564	Why — why have you told so much to me, an absolute stranger?
nyp.33433076048564	Why?
nyp.33433076048564	Why?
nyp.33433076048564	Will luck never turn?
nyp.33433076048564	Will you forgive me?
nyp.33433076048564	Will you tell the lady who was so kind to me that while she was out seeing you at the tea room, there was a call at her door? nyp.33433076048564 Wo n't you come with me to Madame Cas- sandra?"
nyp.33433076048564	Wo n't you sit here at my desk and listen over the microphone to what happens?
nyp.33433076048564	Wo n't you take off your things?
nyp.33433076048564	Yes? nyp.33433076048564 Yes?"
nyp.33433076048564	Yofi here?
nyp.33433076048564	You are going to go there?
nyp.33433076048564	You can say that, Carlton, when it has been every night the same old threadbare excuse of working at the office until midnight?
nyp.33433076048564	You did n't notice which way they went, I suppose?
nyp.33433076048564	You do n't like her?
nyp.33433076048564	You got my card?
nyp.33433076048564	You have seen Mr. Davies to- day?
nyp.33433076048564	You mean the young fellow who was sell- ing something?
nyp.33433076048564	You remember seeing this lady at the counter?
nyp.33433076048564	You were — both of you — atWoodlake not long ago, were you not?"
nyp.33433076048564	You will have her shadowed?
nyp.33433076048564	You will join us, Mrs. Dunlap?
nyp.33433076048564	You would at least recall the old adage,'Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you'?
nyp.33433076048564	You would consider it?
nyp.33433076048564	You — have one —, there?
nyp.33433076048564	You — you do n't think there is anything like that, do you?
nyp.33433076048564	You — you found them?
nyp.33433076048564	''Then you are willing to have the consulta- tion?"
nyp.33433076048564	''Which means a cocaine fiend, I suppose?''
nyp.33433076048564	'v"What do you mean?"
nyp.33433076048564	'• What's all this?"
nyp.33433076048564	10 136 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"What's the matter?"
nyp.33433076048564	120 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"Where is that stock I heard them talking about?"
nyp.33433076048564	204 THE ABDUCTORS 205"Who has been following you?"
nyp.33433076048564	206 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"Who was he, then?"
nyp.33433076048564	210 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"And what?"
nyp.33433076048564	282 CONSTANCE DUNLAP Was it an optical illusion, a freak of her sight?
nyp.33433076048564	298 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"Which one?"
nyp.33433076048564	4'Is your name Abigail?"
nyp.33433076048564	4'Wh- what?
nyp.33433076048564	5 t 218 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"Not dead?"
nyp.33433076048564	82 CONSTANCE DUNLAP After the revolution — perhaps — who shall say?
nyp.33433076048564	And the rest of these people?
nyp.33433076048564	Are you game?"
nyp.33433076048564	Are you going now, Mrs. Dunlap?
nyp.33433076048564	Are you willing to be mixed up in such a scandal?"
nyp.33433076048564	At Vera's?"
nyp.33433076048564	At last he added,"What shall I do next?"
nyp.33433076048564	Borrow?
nyp.33433076048564	But how did they get them in a case like this?
nyp.33433076048564	But if Drummond's man had seen her enter, might she not have been there all the time, be there still, in a stupor?
nyp.33433076048564	But what has that to do with it?
nyp.33433076048564	But what of it?
nyp.33433076048564	But what tale did they tell?
nyp.33433076048564	But, what is success — alone?"
nyp.33433076048564	By the way, Worthington JNSTANCE DUNLAP 1?
nyp.33433076048564	By the way, would n't you like to join us to- night?
nyp.33433076048564	CHAPTER IV THE GAMBLERS"Wo n't you come over to see me to- night?
nyp.33433076048564	CHAPTER V THE EAVBSDBOPPEES"I sttppobe you have heard something about the troubles of the Motor Trust?

nyp.33433076048564	Can I lunch with you downtown?
nyp.33433076048564	Constance felt as if, even now, she must see 162 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"Then you do really — care for him?"
nyp.33433076048564	Constance was distracted, what if Santos with his fiery nature should find Gordon talking to her alone?
nyp.33433076048564	Could anything be fairer?
nyp.33433076048564	Could he be trusted alone not to betray himself when the first hint of discovery of something wrong came?
nyp.33433076048564	Could this be the detective Florence Gibbons had mentioned?
nyp.33433076048564	Did he work all night and sleep all day?
nyp.33433076048564	Did she realize the perilous position this all was placing her in?
nyp.33433076048564	Did you have much invested with him already?"
nyp.33433076048564	Dissolve their partnership in crime?
nyp.33433076048564	Do you know him?"
nyp.33433076048564	Do you know the real character of this Santos?"
nyp.33433076048564	Do you recall it?"
nyp.33433076048564	Do you see that machine?"
nyp.33433076048564	Do?
nyp.33433076048564	Drum- mond was not employed by Mrs. Warrington at alL Then by whom?
nyp.33433076048564	Drum- mond, what do people say?"
nyp.33433076048564	Everything is going — fortune, reputation — even your friendship, now, Constance —""Going?
nyp.33433076048564	For example, she asked herself, why had he been so ready, apparently, to transfer his in- terest from Stella?
nyp.33433076048564	Got any money, May?"
nyp.33433076048564	Got any snow?"
nyp.33433076048564	Had Bella LeMar hoped that she, too, would play will- o'-the- wisp in leading him on?
nyp.33433076048564	Had he found out the truth in some uncanny way?
nyp.33433076048564	Had he, after all, been concealing something else from her?
nyp.33433076048564	Had it been heard?
nyp.33433076048564	Had there been a slip?
nyp.33433076048564	Had there really been another woman?
nyp.33433076048564	Had they captured him?
nyp.33433076048564	Has anybody called at my apartment while I was out?"
nyp.33433076048564	Has the plan been changed?"
nyp.33433076048564	Have you at last thought up an excuse?
nyp.33433076048564	Hello — yes — what?
nyp.33433076048564	How about it?"
nyp.33433076048564	How can I?
nyp.33433076048564	How did she look?"
nyp.33433076048564	How did you know I had seen him before?
nyp.33433076048564	How did you meet her?"
nyp.33433076048564	How much did you have to pay the Leblanc girl?"
nyp.33433076048564	How much?
nyp.33433076048564	How was she to get at the inside truth of what was going on across the hall?
nyp.33433076048564	How will that look when it goes before a jury?"
nyp.33433076048564	I hurry home — and I — oh, what shall I do — what shall I do?"
nyp.33433076048564	I must get at least a day or two start before they""Carlton,"she interrupted,"what is the matter?
nyp.33433076048564	I — I think I may talk plainly?
nyp.33433076048564	If it is good for them, is it not just as good for us?"
nyp.33433076048564	Instead of tears and recriminations, instead of the conventional"How could you do it?"
nyp.33433076048564	It is only half the truth — is it not?"
nyp.33433076048564	It read: My deabest A: Can you meet us in the Vanderveer to- mor- row afternoon at four?
nyp.33433076048564	May I be frank with you?"
nyp.33433076048564	Now be sure to come, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433076048564	Now, the question is — what are we going to do about it?"
nyp.33433076048564	Now, what have you to report?
nyp.33433076048564	Of what use was it, then, for Halsey to fight?
nyp.33433076048564	Oh well — what's the use?
nyp.33433076048564	Oh, I beg pardon — you play, Mrs. Dunlap?''
nyp.33433076048564	Or was he so closely pursued that he did not dare to reply even in the cryptio manner on which they had agreed?
nyp.33433076048564	Or was his attention to her causing him to neglect his own game and play it poorly?
nyp.33433076048564	Or was she merely a beauti- ful, delicate creature caught in the merciless maelstrom of the life into which she had been thrown?
nyp.33433076048564	Shall I run or shall I fight?"
nyp.33433076048564	She did just what I wanted — came up here — and, say Sheppard — what do you think?
nyp.33433076048564	Should she be perfectly frank?
nyp.33433076048564	Should she desert Santos and save herself?
nyp.33433076048564	Should she tell them now about him?
nyp.33433076048564	THE BLACKMAILERS 265"Afraid?"
nyp.33433076048564	THE DOPE FIENDS 297 Had Muller tried to palm off something on her?
nyp.33433076048564	Then come around to see me in the dormitory if I'm here when you are through, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433076048564	There I was able to stay until w X 212 CONSTANCE DUNLAP"that you wanted to be independent, that yon went away to make your own living?"
nyp.33433076048564	Understand?
nyp.33433076048564	Was Drummond always to cross her trail?
nyp.33433076048564	Was Stella here, after all?
nyp.33433076048564	Was Warrington worth it all?
nyp.33433076048564	Was Warrington, a live spender, to slip through her grasp for a chance acquaint- ance?
nyp.33433076048564	Was he a detective?
nyp.33433076048564	Was he in the plot, too?
nyp.33433076048564	Was it a side- light upon that peculiar industry of divorce as practiced in no place except New York?
nyp.33433076048564	Was it because, having cut loose from the one feminine tie that morally bound him, he no longer felt any restraint in cutting loose from others?
nyp.33433076048564	Was it he who was letting her win at his expense?
nyp.33433076048564	Was it merely what the rest of the world knew?
nyp.33433076048564	Was n't it strange?"
nyp.33433076048564	Was she the personification of justice?
nyp.33433076048564	Was she to be the one to hold him back in any way from the new life that was now before him?
nyp.33433076048564	Was she, after all, wholly THE PLUNGERS 189 mercenary in her attitude toward Warrington?
nyp.33433076048564	Was she, too, trying to warn a newcomer against the place?
nyp.33433076048564	Was that the familiar figure of Gordon moving in the dim light?
nyp.33433076048564	Was the dream at last to turn to ashes?
nyp.33433076048564	Was the druggist, Muller, the man higher up?
nyp.33433076048564	Was the girl crazy?
nyp.33433076048564	We pour our money into his pockets now and let him sell at the top and grab back control with our money?
nyp.33433076048564	We understand each other?"
nyp.33433076048564	Were they centering their efforts on capturing him?
nyp.33433076048564	Were they not partners?
nyp.33433076048564	What am I to do?
nyp.33433076048564	What are you going to do?"
nyp.33433076048564	What could they do?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076048564	What had happened?
nyp.33433076048564	What if Drummond, in his animosity, ever got the truth?
nyp.33433076048564	What if he should betray himself in some way?
nyp.33433076048564	What if he were able to cut off her little al- lowance?
nyp.33433076048564	What is it — a pack of strippers?"
nyp.33433076048564	What is that?"
nyp.33433076048564	What lay that way?
nyp.33433076048564	What might not happen to her?
nyp.33433076048564	What rot is this?
nyp.33433076048564	What shall I do?"
nyp.33433076048564	What shall we do?"
nyp.33433076048564	What should I do?
nyp.33433076048564	What should she do with the girl?
nyp.33433076048564	What should she do?
nyp.33433076048564	What was he doing in the case?
nyp.33433076048564	What was he doing?
nyp.33433076048564	What was it now, she wondered — a divorce case, a scandal — what?
nyp.33433076048564	What was it that had impelled her to say it?
nyp.33433076048564	What was it?
nyp.33433076048564	What was the bond of intimacy be- tween them?
nyp.33433076048564	What was the matter?

nyp.33433076048564	Yes?
nyp.33433076048564	Yes?
nyp.33433076048564	Yet what was Santos to her, after all?
nyp.33433076048564	You always get in when it comes to trimming the good spenders, do n't you?"
nyp.33433076048564	You did n't know- that?
nyp.33433076048564	You do n't realize that this interview helps to prove it, do you?
nyp.33433076048564	You have nothing to say?
nyp.33433076048564	You have seen her?
nyp.33433076048564	You may uncover a six- dollar operative, Mrs. Douglas, but are you the equal of a twenty- dollar- a- day investi- gator?"

nyp.33433076048564	You remember the breakfast dream, when I said that much could be traced back to dreams?
nyp.33433076048564	You saw the district at- torney?"
nyp.33433076048564	You see that?"
nyp.33433076048564	You under- stand?"
nyp.33433076048564	Your husband was Carlton Dunlap, cashier of Green& Company, was he not?"
nyp.33433076048564	exclaimed Drummond, walking along beside her, and adding contemptuously,''I do n't know the young one, but you know who the other is?"
nyp.33433076048564	had Brainard meant by that reference'orthington?
nyp.33433076048564	she interrupted coolly,"what of it?
nyp.33433076048564	“ Have you ever been paid a little bill of twenty- five dollars by our company?
nyp.33433076048564	“ Only, ” he added, “ we would call the new state, Vespuccia. ” “ We? ” queried Constance.
nyp.33433076048564	“ Will you help us raise the money? ” he re- peated earnestly.
nyp.33433076048564	“ Yes — my — colleagues — you call it in Eng- lish?
nyp.33433075757520	- Should he disclose to Chippenfield Hill's story of the missing letters?
nyp.33433075757520	A London shop? ” inquired Rolfe, with equal indifference.
nyp.33433075757520	About half- past ten, you said? ” “ That is as near as Fred can make it. ” “ Go on with your story, ” he said.
nyp.33433075757520	Ai n't your name Joe Leaver? ” Joe nodded his head.
nyp.33433075757520	And I ’ve come to tell you in a friendly way that once more you're on the wrong track. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Rolfe quickly.
nyp.33433075757520	And as we passed over the Serpentine Bridge I saw him throw something out of the window. ” “ A glove? ” suggested Crewe quickly.
nyp.33433075757520	And how did Hill behave when he got the message?
nyp.33433075757520	And how would he get into the house?
nyp.33433075757520	And then what will happen?
nyp.33433075757520	And there's Crewe, up in the gallery. ” “ Where? ” exclaimed Inspector Chippenfield, with an indignant start.
nyp.33433075757520	And unless you're pretty civil I'll give you cause to remember it. ” “ What have you got to do with me? ” asked the boy in an injured tone.
nyp.33433075757520	Arskt me to tell you, sir, that it was about the Rivers- brook case. ” “ The Riversbrook case?
nyp.33433075757520	As a mat- ter of fact, he has left the country. ” “ Hill left the country? ” echoed Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	But I was right, for a week afterwards the police came and arrested Fred at the flat. ” “ How did they get him? ” asked Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	But at what stage did the visitor become conscious of the loss of his glove?
nyp.33433075757520	But could Birchill afford to threaten a man who was under the protection of Sir Horace Few- banks?
nyp.33433075757520	But if the burglar was such a cool hand as to stop to turn out the lights after the murder why did he not also stop to collect some valuables?
nyp.33433075757520	But were they her letters?
nyp.33433075757520	But what makes you talk about them looking me up?
nyp.33433075757520	Can he not hear through the keyhole? ” Crewe's visitor glanced expressively at the door by which she had entered.
nyp.33433075757520	Can not we bury the whole thing in forgetfulness? ” Crewe's growing interest in the chessboard and his problem suddenly vanished.
nyp.33433075757520	Can you catch the 12.40? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075757520	Can you let me have a look at the original of that letter which was THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY 59 sent to Scotland Yard informing you of the murder?
nyp.33433075757520	Cleared out for good and left his unfortunate wife and child to starve. ” “ How have you learnt this, Rolfe? ” “ His wife told me herself.
nyp.33433075757520	Did he want a plan of an empty house?
nyp.33433075757520	Did n't Birchill tell Hill, just before he set out for Riversbrook on the night of the murder, that if Hill played him false he'd murder him?
nyp.33433075757520	Did n't you, Flack?
nyp.33433075757520	Did you ever see it?
nyp.33433075757520	Did you like going with father the other day? ” The child's eyes sparkled with retrospective pleasure.
nyp.33433075757520	Did you see it about the house after he left? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you deny that he went up to Riversbrook that night? ” “ The letter sent to Scotland Yard shows that some one was there besides the murderer.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you go to school? ” “ Oh, yes, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you hear me? ” Kemp's impassivity was in marked contrast to the girl's hysterical excitement.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you know him? ” “ Leaver is the name, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you know? ” “ I think I know, and when I am at liberty to speak I will tell you. ” “ Then there is a third point, ” continued Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you still swear it was Mr. Holy- mead? ” “ I do, ” replied Kemp doggedly.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you think Sir Horace got in the first shot and then tried to fire again?
nyp.33433075757520	Do you think it is mysterious? ” “ There are certainly some mysterious features about it, ” said the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	Do you think that I – that I know anything about the murder? ” “ Not in the least. ” The inspector's tone was reassur- ing.
nyp.33433075757520	Does not that prove conclusively that the murder was not committed by Birchill, that Sir Horace Fewbanks was dead when Birchill broke into the house?
nyp.33433075757520	Emily Hill? ” The woman nodded feebly, her frightened eyes fixed on the inspector's face.
nyp.33433075757520	Exposure of what?
nyp.33433075757520	Faithful?
nyp.33433075757520	For the reasons stated in her confession?
nyp.33433075757520	For what object?
nyp.33433075757520	Gentlemen, does a man commit a murder for a thing of that kind?
nyp.33433075757520	Had Sir Horace been shot while attempting to seize the intruder?
nyp.33433075757520	Had the murderer a companion with him when he broke into Riversbrook for the purpose of burglary?
nyp.33433075757520	Had they got hold of the right man — the real murderer — in Fred Birchill?
nyp.33433075757520	Has he come about — that? ” Gabrielle nodded her head.
nyp.33433075757520	Has not Stork returned yet? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Tell him to go to his dinner when he comes back.
nyp.33433075757520	Have you discovered anything fresh? ” “ Only this, ” replied Rolfe, displaying the piece of handkerchief.
nyp.33433075757520	Have you ever been over it carefully?
nyp.33433075757520	Have you ever seen him before? ” “ Rayther, guv'nor"whispered the boy in reply.
nyp.33433075757520	Have you forgotten how THE HAMPSTEAD MystERY 219 she tried to hoodwink us before?
nyp.33433075757520	Have you heard anything of a murder out your way? ” “ Ca n't say that I have.
nyp.33433075757520	Have you there- fore come to see Madame about the case? ” Rolfe showed that he was taken aback by the direct question.
nyp.33433075757520	Have you, since the night of the murder, seen anything of Pierre? ” “ Monsieur, I have not.
nyp.33433075757520	Have you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075757520	He bought about a dozen of them during the afternoon. ” “ Where was this? ” asked the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	He did not come to do dreadful things, but just to have a little talk. ” “ A little talk?
nyp.33433075757520	He had no money; how could he get away? ” Crewe selected another cigar from his case and lighted it before answering.
nyp.33433075757520	He is away. ” “ Away where? ” “ In Scotland.
nyp.33433075757520	He's about fourteen or fifteen, I should say. ” “ Who is he?
nyp.33433075757520	Hill has n't gone over there. ” “ How can you be certain, if he did n't tell you where he was going? ” asked Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	Hill's as innocent of the murder as you are. ” “ And where do you think Hill's gone to? ” “ Certainly not out of London.
nyp.33433075757520	Hill's cleared out be- cause he was frightened of Birchill. ” “ Of Birchill? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075757520	His master, Sir Horace Fewbanks, knew he had been in gaol, so what had he to fear from exposure?
nyp.33433075757520	Holymead had no connection with the crime? ” exclaimed Rolfe impatiently.
nyp.33433075757520	Holymead?
nyp.33433075757520	How dare you? ” she cried, in an effort to be indignant.
nyp.33433075757520	How do you know he kept one? ” “ Once or twice I saw something that looked like a revolver in that drawer while Sir Horace had it open.
nyp.33433075757520	How do you know somebody has n't fol- lowed you? ” “ I could not help it, Kincher, ” the girl responded pite- ously.
nyp.33433075757520	How had Scotland Yard's anonymous correspondent learned about the murder, and what were his motives in informing the police in the way he had done?
nyp.33433075757520	How long before he — before he died? ” “ Are you detectives? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075757520	How long before he — before he died? ” “ Are you detectives? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075757520	How long did Sir Horace live after being shot?
nyp.33433075757520	How many times did you go along there last night? ” “ Twice, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	How would she have felt if she had run into Sir Horace?
nyp.33433075757520	I come to see you about the dread- ful murder of the judge, Madame's friend. ” “ You come from Mrs. Holymead? ” said Crewe quickly.
nyp.33433075757520	I have n't closed my eyes for over a week. ” “ So you attended the police- court proceedings? ” said Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	I hope you do n't mind? ” She looked at him with her large dark eyes in which there was more than a suggestion of tears.
nyp.33433075757520	I just stayed there watching. ” “ Did you think the prisoner might return? ” “ No, ” replied the witness quickly.
nyp.33433075757520	I knew the great judge well. ”- “ You knew Sir Horace Fewbanks? ” exclaimed Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	I looked in the desk and found they had gone. ” “ Who could have taken them?
nyp.33433075757520	I must handle the stick — you understand?
nyp.33433075757520	I suppose you'll pay the taxi- fare for the run down from Hyde Park? ” THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY 85 “ No, I wo n't, ” said Crewe cheerfully.
nyp.33433075757520	I think those are the facts, Field? ” “ Yes, sir, ” said the distressed looking man who stood before him.
nyp.33433075757520	I would like to do my best, but I think if you gave me time Is there any great urgency?
nyp.33433075757520	I'll bet it was on her account that he came back from Scotland. ” “ What time was this? ” he asked with interest.
nyp.33433075757520	I'm in the second form. ” “ Do you like going to school, Daphne? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ I suppose you like going to the Zoo better?
nyp.33433075757520	I'm in the second form. ” “ Do you like going to school, Daphne? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ I suppose you like going to the Zoo better?
nyp.33433075757520	I42 THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY “ And this woman — this lady — turned out the lights and closed the front door? ” “ So Fred says.
nyp.33433075757520	If Birchill did n't commit the murder, who did?
nyp.33433075757520	If he was killed after dark, who turned out the lights? ” “ He was killed between Io and Io.30 at night, ” said Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	If it was not her, who was it?
nyp.33433075757520	If she found the man dead, why did n't she inform the police?
nyp.33433075757520	If the murder was committed late at night how came it that there were no lights in the empty house when the police discovered the body?
nyp.33433075757520	Is Hill the murderer?
nyp.33433075757520	Is n't she in the case?
nyp.33433075757520	Is n't that ‘ Sunny Jim'?
nyp.33433075757520	Is such a story reasonable or likely?
nyp.33433075757520	Is that Hampstead Police Station? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075757520	Is that it? ” “ Yes, ” assented Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	Is that the action of a guilty man?
nyp.33433075757520	Is there anything in that plan to suggest that it was drawn by a man in a state of nervous terror?
nyp.33433075757520	It is yours, I think? ” “ This? ” Mademoiselle Chiron touched the handker- chief with a dairity forefinger.
nyp.33433075757520	It is yours, I think? ” “ This? ” Mademoiselle Chiron touched the handker- chief with a dairity forefinger.
nyp.33433075757520	It would be bound to make a good impression on the jury. ” “ Would n't he be very expensive? ” asked the girl.
nyp.33433075757520	It's a tough job, ai n't it, Sir? ” 76 THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY “ Yes and no, ” replied Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	Now does that seem probable?
nyp.33433075757520	Now, as to this handkerchief: what is more likely than that Birchill had it in his pocket when he went out to Riversbrook on that fatal night?
nyp.33433075757520	Now, would you sooner tell me or tell the police?
nyp.33433075757520	On what did the case for the prosecution rest?
nyp.33433075757520	Que voulez- vous?
nyp.33433075757520	Rolfe?
nyp.33433075757520	She will be up to- morrow with Miss Fewbanks. ” THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY 49 “ Well, is there nobody I can see? ” asked Mrs. Holy- mead.
nyp.33433075757520	Sir Horace knew all about Hill's past, so why should he fear a threat of exposure? ” “ Hill explained that, ” interposed Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	So what have we to do next, Joe? ” “ To find the missing glove?
nyp.33433075757520	So what have we to do next, Joe? ” “ To find the missing glove?
nyp.33433075757520	Stop it at once, do you understand?
nyp.33433075757520	Such a threat was not made, but why should Hill say it was made?
nyp.33433075757520	THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY 47 “ Do you know if Sir Horace was in the habit of carry- ing a pocket- book? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	That is why I come to you to ask you to save her. ” “ May I have the revolver and the handkerchief? ” asked Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	That you, Seldon?
nyp.33433075757520	That's the explanation of his letter, Rolfe. ” “ So that's the way you look at it? ” said Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	The other you can catch a glimpse of if you look between those two trees. ” “ What does it mean?
nyp.33433075757520	The question I want to solve is, did it belong to Sir Horace, or to some one who visited him on the night he was murdered?
nyp.33433075757520	Then I went out and posted the letter in a pillar- box. ” “ At Covent Garden? ” suggested Inspector Chippen- field.
nyp.33433075757520	To see Crewe? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075757520	Was Sir Horace her lover?
nyp.33433075757520	Was Sir Horace killed before dusk — before the lights were turned on?
nyp.33433075757520	Was Sir Horace murdered in his own house?
nyp.33433075757520	Was he connected with the crime?
nyp.33433075757520	Was he murdered in his own house? ” “ His dead body is supposed to be lying there now in the library, ” said Inspector Seldon.
nyp.33433075757520	Was it likely that a woman, knowing her lover's life was at stake, would come here and speak the truth, if she knew the truth would hang him?
nyp.33433075757520	Was it possible that Hill had gone to his late master's residence in defiance of the orders of the police?
nyp.33433075757520	Was not that a natural impulse for a high- minded man?
nyp.33433075757520	Was the ink fresh? ” “ No, it was old ink, ” she said.
nyp.33433075757520	Were you up at the court? ” “ Yes, I looked in, ” said Mr. Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	What became of it? ” Gabrielle looked at him quickly as though she suspected some trap.
nyp.33433075757520	What do you men — so clumsy — know of the delicate feelings of a lady like Madame Holymead?
nyp.33433075757520	What do you say, Taylor?
nyp.33433075757520	What do you suppose I'm doing it for?
nyp.33433075757520	What do you want to see him for? ” “ What's that got to do with you? ” retorted Mr. Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	What do you want to see him for? ” “ What's that got to do with you? ” retorted Mr. Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	What does Hill's evidence against the prisoner amount to?
nyp.33433075757520	What does it matter?
nyp.33433075757520	What grudge had Birchill against Sir Horace Fewbanks?
nyp.33433075757520	What had Hill to fear, from the threats of a man like Birchill, when he was living under Sir Horace Fewbanks's protection?
nyp.33433075757520	What has that to do with it?
nyp.33433075757520	What have they found out? ” “ Keep your mouth shut, ” commanded her husband harshly.
nyp.33433075757520	What is his name — Rudolf? ” “ Rolfe? ” exclaimed Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	What is his name — Rudolf? ” “ Rolfe? ” exclaimed Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	What is it that I can do for you?
nyp.33433075757520	What is more likely than that Sir Horace heard the bur- glar in the house, crept upon him, and then tried to capture him?
nyp.33433075757520	What is the best thing to do?
nyp.33433075757520	What is the inevitable inference?
nyp.33433075757520	What is your real name? ” In- spector Chippenfield glared fiercely at the butler in order to impress upon him the fact that subterfuge was useless.
nyp.33433075757520	What more could they expect us to prove?
nyp.33433075757520	What place had I to keep them safe from pry- ing eyes?
nyp.33433075757520	What reliance could they place on the evidence of Fanning?
nyp.33433075757520	What time did he leave here that night? ” “ I ’ve already told you the truth, sir, ” replied the little woman.
nyp.33433075757520	What was he like? ” “ Tall, as tall as you, only bigger — much bigger.
nyp.33433075757520	What were these secret papers?
nyp.33433075757520	What's brought you over here?
nyp.33433075757520	What's he frightened off His own guilty conscience and the long arm of the law?
nyp.33433075757520	What's this boy like? ” “ An undersized putty- faced brat with a big head.
nyp.33433075757520	When did she tell you? ” “ A week ago yesterday, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	When did you see him last? ” “ I do n't remember, ” she said, after a pause.
nyp.33433075757520	Where are you off to? ” “ I ’m taking a run down to Scotland. ” The inspector glanced at Crewe rather enviously.
nyp.33433075757520	Where did you say the library was? ” “ I do n't know, sir. ” “ Well, look about you on the ground floor while I go upstairs.
nyp.33433075757520	Where is it? ” “ I had it removed downstairs.
nyp.33433075757520	Which story was the more probable?
nyp.33433075757520	Who are you? ” “ Detective- Inspector Chippenfield of Scotland Yard.
nyp.33433075757520	Who had access to the room? ” “ Well, sir, Mr. Chippenfield had some visitors that morning. ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075757520	Who told you?
nyp.33433075757520	Who was on that beat last night? ” “ Flack, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	Why are they waiting? ” she THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY 279 burst out.
nyp.33433075757520	Why did he want Birchill to carry out the burglary?
nyp.33433075757520	Why did he want Hill's assistance to burgle a practically unprotected house?
nyp.33433075757520	Why did n't she come to us? ” Crewe smiled at the puzzled, indignant detective.
nyp.33433075757520	Why did n't you give these keys up with the others to Inspector Chippenfield? ” “ I forgot about them at the time, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	Why not?
nyp.33433075757520	Why should they get into me — why should they look me up?
nyp.33433075757520	Will you buy mine for five shillings, or shall I buy yours? ” Taylor smiled sourly.
nyp.33433075757520	Would Birchill have told Hill that, if he'd committted the murder? ” “ Nothing more likely, ” exclaimed the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	Would Birchill pit himself against Sir Horace?
nyp.33433075757520	Would n't it have been more to his in- terest to leave the dead man's body undiscovered in the empty house and bolt from the country?
nyp.33433075757520	Would they arrest her with their blunders?
nyp.33433075757520	You are quite sure it was he? ” “ Of that, monsieur, unfortunately there is no doubt.
nyp.33433075757520	You could see? ” “ Oh, yes, sir. ” Inspector Chippenfield told the child she was a good THE HAMPSTEAD MYSTERY Io9 girl, and gave her sixpence.
nyp.33433075757520	You do n't think I did it?
nyp.33433075757520	You have the audacity to admit you have done this? ” “ Well, it's this way, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	You remember we agreed that it showed there was a woman in the case. ” “ Well, what do you call this girl Fanning?
nyp.33433075757520	You understand? ” Joe came out of the cinema world long enough to nod his head in emphatic understanding of the instructions.
nyp.33433075757520	You would say if I have any proofs?
nyp.33433075757520	You've got some money saved up, have n't you? ” “ Yes, I've nearly £ 200.
nyp.33433075757520	an obligation upon you to get at the truth? ” “ If you put it that way, I believe there is, ” replied Walters slowly and meditatively.
nyp.33433075757520	do n't you, Peter?
nyp.33433075757520	stand, Hill?'
nyp.33433075757520	‘ What do you want here?'
nyp.33433075757520	“ And how do you fit in the letter advising us of the murder? ” asked the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	“ And now, about finger- prints? ” asked Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ And sometimes there were quarrels between your late master and these visitors, were there not? ” continued Holymead.
nyp.33433075757520	“ And the boy?
nyp.33433075757520	“ And what is that? ” asked his superior.
nyp.33433075757520	“ And who do you think stole them? ” he asked Hill.
nyp.33433075757520	“ And you parted on good terms? ” “ Yes, on very good terms. ” She met his glance frankly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Anyone about? ” he hurriedly asked the sergeant who was making entries in the charge- book.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Anything about him that is different? ” continued Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Anything else? ” “ That will do for the present, ” replied the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Anything fresh about the Riversbrook case? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Anyway, what is your name? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Are n't you getting out here, sir?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Are you Miss Fanning? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Are you sure they were in this hiding place when Inspector Chippenfield took charge of everything? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Birchill not the right man? ” he spluttered.
nyp.33433075757520	“ But do you think Kemp's story of how Sir Horace was shot is literally true?
nyp.33433075757520	“ But surely you're going to take out a warrant for Hill's arrest? ” he said.
nyp.33433075757520	“ But the question is — where can he have got to?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Can I have a glass of water? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Can I speak to you on the quiet for a moment, sir? ” whispered Kemp hoarsely.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Come on, what's the charge? ” he demanded inso- lently, with a slight glance at his manacled hands.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Did n't Fred say that the body was warm when he touched it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Did n't you notice anything suspicious when you were along there? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Did you do this? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Did you get it? ” “ Hold on a bit, ” said Taylor, who had his own ideas of how to give value for the extra sovereign he hoped to obtain.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Did you look in this room? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Do n’t you think, Mr. Crewe, that, after all, he may be the actual murderer — that he told you a lot of lies just as he did to us?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Do you know who Sir Horace Fewbanks's murderer is? ” he asked, in quiet even tones.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Do you know who stole the pocket- book? ” “ No, monsieur.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Do you think he was going to Riversbrook? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Do you think you know who did it? ” asked the girl.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Does Fred think that? ” asked Kemp, looking at her closely.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Explains what? ” asked Inspector Chippenfield.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Has he got it? ” “ Yes, ” she replied.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Has the housekeeper come up, Hill? ” “ No, madam.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you a cigarette? ” she asked suddenly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you any idea who he is? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you any idea why he came down from Scotland? ” “ No, sir. ”- “ Well, that will do for the present, Field.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you been trying to fire off the revolver? ” “ No, no, monsieur, ” she exclaimed quickly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you come to tell her that you have caught the wicked man who did assassinate him?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you ever had paper like it at your flat? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you found out — anything? ” she asked the inspector as he entered.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Have you got them? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433075757520	“ He ought to be in the dock — not Fred. ” “ Was Fred up there that night? ” asked Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Hill is an incorrigible liar, but he has no nerve for murder. ” “ Did he put the letters back? ” asked Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Hill, ” said Rolfe quietly, “ what does this mean? ” The butler had regained his self- composure with won- derful quickness.
nyp.33433075757520	“ How are you to- day? ” “ I ’m very well indeed, sir, ” replied the police- con- stable.
nyp.33433075757520	“ How can any one earn a respectable honest living by being a nark? ” asked Mr. Kemp contemptuously.
nyp.33433075757520	“ How could I have overlooked it?
nyp.33433075757520	“ How did you find out? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ How do you know he's here?
nyp.33433075757520	“ How do you know that? ” “ Because ink does n't go black till a long while after it is written.
nyp.33433075757520	“ How do you know?
nyp.33433075757520	“ I believe you have a feeling of gratitude towards the prisoner? ” he asked, in a milder tone.
nyp.33433075757520	“ I do n't like that brand, ” she said; “ have n't you any- thing better? ” The man shook his head.
nyp.33433075757520	“ I hope you did n't throw it away? ” “ I ’m not a fool, ” retorted Taylor.
nyp.33433075757520	“ If Birchill is not the mur- derer who is?
nyp.33433075757520	“ If I had, this note of Hill's would restore my conviction in Birchill's guilt. ” “ Why, how do you make out that? ” replied Rolfe blankly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ If you let him go I'll tell you who murdered Sir Horace. ” “ Who murdered him? ” asked the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is Birchill still at this flat and is the girl still there? ” “ The last I heard of them they were, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is he dead, sir? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is it not possible for death to have taken place nine- teen or twenty hours before you saw the body? ” asked Mr. Finnis, eagerly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is it not true that your late master frequently enter- tained women of doubtful character at Riversbrook? ” thundered the K.C.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is n't he our principal witness, and does n't his statement fit in with all the facts we have been able to gather?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is n't this a dreadful thing, Hill? ” she said.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is that the plan? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is that your photograph? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is this it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is your name Frederick Birchill? ” asked Inspector Chippenfield.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Is your name Hill? ” asked the inspector sternly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ It is a matter of the utmost im- portance. ”- “ Is your next witness available, Mr. Lethbridge? ” asked the judge.
nyp.33433075757520	“ It is so terrible about him. ” “ Was he a — a relative of yours? ” asked the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	“ It was not the only one? ” persisted Counsel.
nyp.33433075757520	“ It ’s the same boy. ” “ What did you say, sir? ” asked Kemp.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Last night, sir? ” he cried.
nyp.33433075757520	“ No?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Now, Rolfe, what is it? ” “ I ’ve found out that Hill put in nearly the whole day after the murder drinking in a wine tavern.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Now, now, my man, ” said the porter haughtily, “ what do you think you are doing here?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Of course you can not say yet whether both bullets are out of the same revolver? ” said Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Of what use was Madame's warning?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Oh, what are we to do?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Oh, what is it, Henry? ” she said.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Oh, you did? ” replied Inspector Chippenfield.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Sir Horace Fewbanks murdered?
nyp.33433075757520	“ So I brought him along to see you. ” “ False evidence — Hill? ” exclaimed Inspector Chippen- field, with keen interest.
nyp.33433075757520	“ So that's the whole truth, is it? ” he said at length.
nyp.33433075757520	“ So you've done very little about the case since Birchill was acquitted? ” was his only remark.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Somebody has been watching this place for days past and whenever you go out you're followed. ” “ By whom? ” asked Holymead.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Suppose I went to the police and told them that Hill is the murderer? ” she suggested.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Surely you are not going to charge him with the murder? ” said the girl imploringly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Surely, Your Honour, you're not going to allow the cross- examination of this witness to be postponed? ” pro- tested Mr. Lethbridge.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Tell me what has happened?
nyp.33433075757520	“ That goes by the board. ” CHAPTER V “ WHAT is your name? ” “ James Hill, sir. ” “ That is an alias.
nyp.33433075757520	“ That will do very well, And how did you happen to be at the inquest at Hampstead?
nyp.33433075757520	“ The whole truth? ” said the inspector, again.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Then you are determined to hang Birchill? ” said Crewe, as with a cigar in his fingers he faced his visitor with a smile.
nyp.33433075757520	“ There was n't much doing, was there? ” “ No, ” said Fred.
nyp.33433075757520	“ They indulged in threats? ” “ Not all of them, ” replied Hill, who at length saw where the cross- examination was tending.
nyp.33433075757520	“ This great judge, he has much money, is it not so?'
nyp.33433075757520	“ Want to see Mr. Holymead? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Wants to see Mr. Holymead, does he? ” he said, trans- ferring his glance to the worried porter.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Was Father at home when you came home from the pictures? ” “ No, ” said the little girl innocently.
nyp.33433075757520	“ We had it under the microscope at Scotland Yard. ” “ None? ” exclaimed Crewe, in surprise.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Well, Joe, what is it? ” asked Crewe, as he came to a halt in front of them.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Well, Kemp, what do you want? ” There was nothing in his manner to indicate that he was put out by Mr. Kemp's appearance.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Well, does n't that look as if she knew something about the crime? ” “ Not necessarily. ” “ Well, to me it does.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What about my loss of time going home for it?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What are these for? ” said the captive, regarding them sullenly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What are you doing there? ” demanded Rolfe sternly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What are you laughing at? ” asked Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What became of it?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What case? ” “ Why, monsieur, what case should it be but that of which I have so often heard Madame speak?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What case? ” “ Why, monsieur, what case should it be but that of which I have so often heard Madame speak?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What did he say?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What did he want, Gabrielle? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What did she want? ” “ She came to me to make a full confession, ” said Crewe, in even tones.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What did you do then? ” “ I stayed where I was. ” “ What for P ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What did you do with the one you found? ” inquired Crewe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you make of it? ” Crewe sat down, and placing the paper before him took a magnifying glass from his pocket.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you mean? ” she breathed.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you want me to do? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you want to go out there for? ” asked In- spector Chippenfield.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you want, boy? ” roughly asked the inspector.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you wish to see me for? ” The visitor did not immediately reply.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What do you write your letters on, Miss Fanning? ” She almost giggled at the question.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What does this mean, Hawkins? ” he exclaimed, in a tone of disapproval.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What have you hidden P Is the danger immediate? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What in God's name has brought you here?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What is it to me or you that Mr. Holymead should be publicly proved guilty of this terrible thing? ” she went on, passionately.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What is it, Rolfe? ” he asked eagerly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What is it? ” “ You ’re watched and followed, sir, ” said Kemp in a whisper.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What is this girl Fanning like? ” “ Rather a showy piece of goods, if I may say so, sir.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What made you think so?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What name did you say? ” asked the manager in a tone which seemed to express astonishment that the lower orders had names.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What on earth made you do that? ” he demanded at length.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What say you: guilty or not guilty? ” asked the Asso- ciate in a hard metallic voice in which there was no trace of interest in the answer.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What sort of a revolver was it?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What was she doing there?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What was the cause of the quarrel? ” “ That I do n't know, sir. ” “ Did n't Birchill tell you? ” “ Well, not in so many words.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What was the cause of the quarrel? ” “ That I do n't know, sir. ” “ Did n't Birchill tell you? ” “ Well, not in so many words.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What was the nature of these papers? ” asked Rolfe.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What would you have done with the papers if you had found them? ” he asked suddenly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What's brought you over here? ” The girl sank into the chair and began to cry.
nyp.33433075757520	“ What's it to do with you, anyway?
nyp.33433075757520	“ What's the good of talking to police court beaks in a case that is bound to go to trial?
nyp.33433075757520	“ When Birchill showed you the plan immediately after Hill's departure, what impression did you get regarding it? ” She looked at him blankly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ When did you see him last?
nyp.33433075757520	“ When one of the main features of Hill's story is proved to be false, how can you believe any of the rest?
nyp.33433075757520	“ When was he murdered, sir? ” asked Flack.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Where are they? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Where did you get that? ” he stammered, as he reached out eagerly for it.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Where to, ma'am? ” asked the driver.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Where to? ” she repeated vacantly.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Who is working this case with you?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Who told Scotland Yard that? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Why drag into the light my father's conduct in order to make a day's sensation for the newspapers?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Why have you come here?
nyp.33433075757520	“ Wo n't you let it all drop? ” she pleaded.
nyp.33433075757520	“ Women of doubtful character? ” faltered the wit- ness.
nyp.33433075757520	“ You are Monsieur Crewe, the great detective — is it not so? ” she asked, as she sat down.
nyp.33433075757520	“ You are a police agent?
nyp.33433075757520	“ You do n't expect me to believe that you told him you were an ex- convict?
nyp.33433075757520	“ You do n't think Mr. Holymead would like me to discuss his business with the likes of you?
nyp.33433075757520	“ You do n’t, do you? ” “ No, sir. ” “ I never forget a face, ” pursued the officer, glancing up at the face of the man before him.

nyp.33433112068113	“ But you did have a request for some- one, possibly a detective agency, to keep a look- out for Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ But your description did say a grey beard?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Ca n’t I assist you, Mr. Smith? ” she queried; and the sound of his own language stirred a responsive chord deep in Mr. Smith ’s heart.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Cap, ” he queried enigmatically, “ what is French for lemon?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Come along with the quietness, monsieur. ” “ What for? ” Mr. Smith demanded curiously.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Did he set an hour? ” “ Eight o’clock, ” she replied.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Do you speak English?
nyp.33433112068113	“ From the United States?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Has Clarke been allowed to see anybody yet? ” “ Only his daughter.
nyp.33433112068113	“ I 7 mean rich in the sense of the great rich men of New York?
nyp.33433112068113	“ I told him, of course, that he could n’t see you; that you were ill. ” 71f BLIND MAN ’S BUFF “ Who was he?, ” Clarke asked quickly.
nyp.33433112068113	“ I want to ride, do you understand?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Is he the robber?
nyp.33433112068113	“ It was a trick, then?
nyp.33433112068113	“ It was not—- ” “ Why should n’t I have done it, aunty?
nyp.33433112068113	“ It ’s a little personal matter, ma’am. ” “ You — you came from the United States to find Mr. Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ It ’s all very — very strange, is n’t it? ” she queried at last, as their eyes met.
nyp.33433112068113	“ J airsey lightning?
nyp.33433112068113	“ M. Clarke ‘?
nyp.33433112068113	“ May I ask how you came to know I have them?
nyp.33433112068113	“ May I ask — pardon me if my question seems impertinent — may I ask why you are looking for Mr. Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ May- be the nurse pinched them on his own account?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Now would you mind telling me what it ’s all about?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Now, Smith, just between you and me, ” he began, without preliminary, “ Where the devil are those bonds?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Oh, for me?
nyp.33433112068113	“ One hundred thousand dollars?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Perhaps ” — it came in a thrilling whisper — “ perhaps you, too, are a de- tective?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Say, son, ” queried Mr. Smith, “ I wonder if by any chance you know what apple- jack is?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Smith, how did you get hold of those bonds, anyhow? ” “ Do n’t you know?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Smith, how did you get hold of those bonds, anyhow? ” “ Do n’t you know?
nyp.33433112068113	“ That is, unless you have been misled, and this is not M. Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Then, what is your business?
nyp.33433112068113	“ There is nothing to be done then, Monsieur le Marquis?
nyp.33433112068113	“ W. Mandeville Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ W. Mandeville Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Was that Monsewer Remi?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Was there an order from the United States to arrest Clarke?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Well?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Were the bonds found?
nyp.33433112068113	“ What business?
nyp.33433112068113	“ What do you want?
nyp.33433112068113	“ What eez your name?
nyp.33433112068113	“ What ’s it to you? ” Mr. Smith queried belligerently.
nyp.33433112068113	“ What ’s the answer? ” Without another word, not even a nod of thanks, the stranger passed on, and was lost in the throng on the bridge.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Where are they?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Where have you hidden them? ” Mr. Smith did n’t say.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Where is he? ” “ He is ill, dangerously ill, ” replied the Marquis.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Where- do you live?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Who?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Why did you follow my father to Paris?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Why, Edna, how could you thrust yourself into a crowd like that? ” a middle- aged Woman inquired of the girl reprovingly.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Why?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Why? ” “ ‘ Well, that ’s what you ’re going to get — citron, ” remarked Mr. Smith.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Will you deny it?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You are W. Mandeville Clarke! ” “ WVell, suppose I am?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You are up to my plans all right, are n’t you?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You don’t — don’t happen to know who I am?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You thethief? ” “ Of course you know I did not steal the bonds, Miss Clarke, ” he went on calmly, and a warning flashed in his eyes.
nyp.33433112068113	“ You understand English, do n’t you?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You were very fond of my father once, were n’t you?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You will arouse him, and take him away with you now?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You will return the bonds?
nyp.33433112068113	“ You? ” shegasped.
nyp.33433112068113	“ Your name is John Smith, then, monsieur?
nyp.33433112068113	“ Your reasons, monsieur?
nyp.33433112068113	“ ‘ What does it mean? ” she asked tensely.
nyp.33433112068113	” “ Apple- jack?
nyp.33433112068113	” “ Bonds? ” Mr. Smith repeated blindly.
nyp.33433112068113	” “ He is tall, monsieur —— so great tall. ” “ Weighing about one hundred and eighty pounds?
nyp.33433112068113	” “ Just your size, monsieur. ” “ With grey hair?
nyp.33433112068113	” “ Powerful of physique?
nyp.33433112068113	” “ Qu’est- ce que c’est?
nyp.33433112068113	” “ Where do you live?
nyp.33433112068113	” “ You know him, monsieur?
nyp.33433112068113	”_ “ Engaged passage from Cherbourg on Wednesday?
nyp.33433076047871	- “ You get me? ” he went on, enthusiastically.
nyp.33433076047871	308 The Dream Doctor “ There — see?
nyp.33433076047871	98 The Dream Doctor Yes?
nyp.33433076047871	And have you had time to study the records?
nyp.33433076047871	And if it was his conspiracy, would he succeed in tempting his friend, Miss Winslow, to fall in with this glittering offer?
nyp.33433076047871	And rival com- panies, too. ” “ Who have rival companies? ” inquired a familiar voice.
nyp.33433076047871	Any clues? ” “ I can hardly tell, ” replied the secret service man, with assumed cheerfulness.
nyp.33433076047871	Are n’t you going to the Novella this morning? ” The change in her was something wonderful to see.
nyp.33433076047871	Are you going to keep that up?
nyp.33433076047871	At last he leaned over and asked quickly, “ Can I trust you? ” The frank, “ Yes, ” of the young fellow was convinc- ing enough.
nyp.33433076047871	At least, Minna says that there was no quarrel. ” “ How could any one have got in from the outside? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	Besides, spectroscope tests show the pres- ence of a rather well- known chemical in that blood. ” “ A poisoning, then? ” I ventured.
nyp.33433076047871	But I ’m getting closer all the time. ” “ How do you mean? ” asked Kennedy.
nyp.33433076047871	But Miriam'“ How could she have any connection with the case? ” I asked incredulously.
nyp.33433076047871	But did he do it himself or did some one else do it?
nyp.33433076047871	But how did you know that?
nyp.33433076047871	But what was it she had really seen?
nyp.33433076047871	By George, it does look badly for them, does n’t it, when you come to think of it?
nyp.33433076047871	By telepathy?
nyp.33433076047871	By the way, who else is there in the immediate family? ” “ Only a brother, Dana Phelps, younger and some- what inclined to wildness, I believe.
nyp.33433076047871	Ca n’t you see Doctor Forden? ” In her annoyance I fancied that there was a sur- prising lack of sorrow.
nyp.33433076047871	Can you come to the Municipal Hospital — right away? ” “ Right away, Doctor, ” answered Craig, hanging up the receiver.
nyp.33433076047871	Can you meet me to- night?
nyp.33433076047871	Cases have been recorded of clergymen who were kleptomaniacs The Crimeometer 221 “ But what about Annie Grayson? ” persisted Don- nelly.
nyp.33433076047871	Could it be that he was playing a game with Carton and had given him a double cross?
nyp.33433076047871	Could she have been poisoned by these phosphores- cent bacilli?
nyp.33433076047871	Count Wachtmann ’s car is there?
nyp.33433076047871	Craig evidently had the same thought in his mind, however, for he continued: “ Was it a woman who killed the chef?
nyp.33433076047871	Do n't you know that synthetic rub- ber would ruin the business system that I have built up here? ”- Still Craig persisted and argued.
nyp.33433076047871	Do you see how those strokes of the long letters are — well, wobbly?
nyp.33433076047871	Do you see the closet? ” Again I looked.
nyp.33433076047871	Do you want to come along?
nyp.33433076047871	Dr. Ross, I think, is acquainted with the new and remarkable theories of Dr. Sigmund Freud, of Vienna? ” Dr. Ross nodded.
nyp.33433076047871	French chauffeur, two Japanese servants, maids, and all. ” “ The Stamford cottage? ” repeated Gladys.
nyp.33433076047871	Gentlemen of the press? ” He elevated his eyebrows the fraction of an inch.
nyp.33433076047871	Had that been what she was concealing?
nyp.33433076047871	Had the bomb- maker left before we arrived?
nyp.33433076047871	Had the powers of evil in the city learned that he was weakening and hurried him out of the way at the last moment?
nyp.33433076047871	Had there been anything more than superstition in the girl's evident fright?
nyp.33433076047871	Has not Haddon cast me off?
nyp.33433076047871	Has some one else been victimised, too? ” XIII The Kleptomaniac UICKLY Kennedy outlined, with Donnelly's permission, the story we had just heard.
nyp.33433076047871	Have you noticed this room? ” We had both seen and been impressed by it.
nyp.33433076047871	He came to me originally — ” “ Arnold Masterson? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	He was n’t so sure about that. ” “ Then how did she get it? ” I asked, much inter- ested.
nyp.33433076047871	His name is Kronski, and a blacker devil an employment bureau never furnished. ” “ Kronski?
nyp.33433076047871	How are things going? ” Wachtmann ’s chauffeur must have answered that everything was all right.
nyp.33433076047871	How could you? ” Her feelings were apparently rapidly getting the better of her.
nyp.33433076047871	How do you feel to- day? ” ºrſ/ 204 The Dream Doctor Craig stopped the machine, ran it back again and repeated the record.
nyp.33433076047871	How much were you stung for? ” “ About twenty thousand altogether, ” replied Bent- ley with rueful frankness.
nyp.33433076047871	How was he to profit by it?
nyp.33433076047871	How were we to get past that door?
nyp.33433076047871	How would we find it out?
nyp.33433076047871	How? ” 270 The Dream Doctor that goes with it.
nyp.33433076047871	I asked myself the usual query of the lawyers and the detectives — Who would benefit most by the death of Pitts?
nyp.33433076047871	I believe that he bled to death. ” “ And the motive for such a terrible crime? ” quer- ied Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	I suppose that an expert like Mr. Borland could tell me, perhaps? ” “ I should think so. ” “ Where is his office? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	I suppose that an expert like Mr. Borland could tell me, perhaps? ” “ I should think so. ” “ Where is his office? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	I suppose you have noticed the precautions we are taking against intruders?
nyp.33433076047871	I told her to stay, not to excite suspicion. ” “ And Haddon knows? ” “ Oh, no.
nyp.33433076047871	I told them to be here between half- past eight and nine. ” “ Who? ” I queried.
nyp.33433076047871	I was speaking of an attaché named Nordheim. ” “ Who is Nordheim? ” inquired the captain.
nyp.33433076047871	I wonder if there could have been any jewels buried with him, as Shaughnessy said?
nyp.33433076047871	I wonder if you could let me have a sample of this cobra venom? ” “ Surely.
nyp.33433076047871	I'd like to make an appointment for my wife to- morrow. ” “ Why, what's the trouble, Mr. Willoughby?
nyp.33433076047871	In- ert?
nyp.33433076047871	Indeed, I invited her with us the night of the Manila display. ” “ And Mr. Nordheim? ” broke in Burke.
nyp.33433076047871	Is he really guilty?
nyp.33433076047871	Is that the way the Z99 has be- haved always lately? ” “ Yes, but I know that she has n't broken down of herself, ” Captain Shirley asserted.
nyp.33433076047871	Is that you, Dr. Guthrie?
nyp.33433076047871	Is that you, Ella?
nyp.33433076047871	Is there no rest for the Wicked? ” Kennedy looked up and laughed.
nyp.33433076047871	It is known as the Weil cobra- venom test. ” “ Do you use it often? ”.. 22 The Dream Doctor “ N- no, ” he replied.
nyp.33433076047871	It is said that he is engaged to Mrs. Brainard — that is all. ” “ Engaged? ” repeated Burke.
nyp.33433076047871	It was the real thing, I believe. ” “ Did Mr. Borland and his new chemist Lathrop believe it, too? ” “ I ca n’t say.
nyp.33433076047871	It was the venom of the cobra. ” “ Cobra venom? ” repeated the coroner, glancing up at a row of technical works.
nyp.33433076047871	Just what had Lo- raine Keith to do with it?
nyp.33433076047871	Kennedy? ” he inquired, adding quickly without waiting for an answer: “ I am glad to see you.
nyp.33433076047871	Maitland had no enemies that you know of? ” asked Kennedy, determined to learn something now, at least.
nyp.33433076047871	Maitland, I believe, is a patient of yours? ” “ Yes, Mrs. Maitland is one of my patients, ” he ad- mitted interrogatively.
nyp.33433076047871	Masterson, I believe? ” inquired Kennedy, as a slim, debonair, youngish- old man entered the room in which we had been waiting.
nyp.33433076047871	Meanwhile, Captain, will you explain to Professor Kennedy just how things are?
nyp.33433076047871	My heavens — is there still another day of it?
nyp.33433076047871	None that would — do that. ” “ You had had no quarrel? ” he added.
nyp.33433076047871	Number seven?
nyp.33433076047871	Oh, Price — why did you?
nyp.33433076047871	Oh, he could know nothing — impossible. ” “ Why impossible? ” persisted Burke.
nyp.33433076047871	Or could it all have been part of a conspiracy?
nyp.33433076047871	Ruth looked up at him with tearful eyes wistful with pain, “ Would Mr. Kennedy work on it? ” There was only one answer.
nyp.33433076047871	Shall I call her? ” “ No, I will go myself.
nyp.33433076047871	She broke it off — not I. ” “ She broke off the engagement? ” prompted Ken- nedy.
nyp.33433076047871	She com- plains of not being able to sleep and has been having pretty bad headaches now and then. ” “ Is that so?
nyp.33433076047871	She is a very handsome and attractive woman — you have seen her?
nyp.33433076047871	Suppose I just drop off at your place? ” “ That will be fine.
nyp.33433076047871	Suppose we should start and this Kronski should change his plans at the last minute?
nyp.33433076047871	That friend has now suc- ceeded in placing this man quietly in a sanitarium for the insane. ” “ And the murder of the chef? ” shot out Kennedy.
nyp.33433076047871	That is all. ”- “ How did you know he was here? ” asked the man suspiciously.
nyp.33433076047871	That is why I am here consulting Professor Kennedy. ” “ Then who did get it, do you think? ” I demanded.
nyp.33433076047871	The Submarine Mystery 295 “ You met him at the Naval building, that night, do n't you remember? ” replied Gladys.
nyp.33433076047871	The nine- o'clock train is five minutes late?
nyp.33433076047871	Them drug- dopes has some strange de- lusions. ” “ Strange delusions? ” queried Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	Then he added gently, “ You must come with me to East Point — immediately. ” “ What — leave him here — alone — in the last days?
nyp.33433076047871	There was indol in that food of yours, Mr. Pitts. ” “ Indol? ” repeated Pitts.
nyp.33433076047871	They will hold the boat for us?
nyp.33433076047871	This is a little instrument known as the audion, a wireless electric- wave detector. ” “ Outside the hull? ” repeated Shirley, still dazed.
nyp.33433076047871	This is a thermopile. ” The “ Coke. ” Fiend 273 “ And what is a thermopile? ” queried Carton.
nyp.33433076047871	Walter, breathe as little of it as you can — but — come here — do you see?—over there, near the other door — a figure lying on the floor?
nyp.33433076047871	Was Wacht- mann a party to it?
nyp.33433076047871	Was he going to wait until the bomb- maker had finished what he had come to accomplish?
nyp.33433076047871	Was he, too, crazy?
nyp.33433076047871	Was it Clen- denin?
nyp.33433076047871	Was it human or wraith?
nyp.33433076047871	Was it of some one who had visited the tomb, who was surprised there or surprised some one else there?
nyp.33433076047871	Was it that which Kennedy was driving at disclosing?
nyp.33433076047871	Was not Kennedy actually taxing her with lowing another?
nyp.33433076047871	Was she acting a part now?
nyp.33433076047871	Was she herself part of the plot to victimise, perhaps kill, him?
nyp.33433076047871	Was she in any way re- sponsible?
nyp.33433076047871	Was she shielding some one?
nyp.33433076047871	Was the bomb- maker there still?
nyp.33433076047871	Was there any way of escape?
nyp.33433076047871	Was there not something still that she was concealing?
nyp.33433076047871	Was this a case for the oculists, the spiritualists, the Egyptologists, or for a detective?
nyp.33433076047871	What black magic was this?
nyp.33433076047871	What had been her purpose in coming at all?
nyp.33433076047871	What has happened? ” “ You are all right, ” soothed Kennedy gently.
nyp.33433076047871	What is he to me, now? ” It was evident that she was growing hysterical.
nyp.33433076047871	What is it?
nyp.33433076047871	What is there to forgive?
nyp.33433076047871	What is this thing, anyhow? ” “ It is some one hidden in the storeroom in the base- ment, ” answered Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	What must they have done to her?
nyp.33433076047871	What new scientific engine of death was that little hollow cylinder?
nyp.33433076047871	What reason, I asked myself, was there to suppose that it would be different now?
nyp.33433076047871	What was back of it all?
nyp.33433076047871	What was he doing — convicting the man over again?
nyp.33433076047871	What was he preparing to do?
nyp.33433076047871	What was it — a strange new mouth- malady that had attacked this notorious adventuress and woman of luxury?
nyp.33433076047871	What was it, I wondered?
nyp.33433076047871	What was it?
nyp.33433076047871	What was the secret hidden in it?
nyp.33433076047871	What was to be done?
nyp.33433076047871	What's that?
nyp.33433076047871	What's that?
nyp.33433076047871	What's the matter with it? ” he exclaimed, changing the subject, and glancing up at the gas- fixture.
nyp.33433076047871	What's this? ” He had continued to poke about in the darkness as he was speaking.
nyp.33433076047871	What, after all, had been the net result of our activities so far?
nyp.33433076047871	Where is Clendenin, do you suppose? ”- “ I do n’t know, but it at least leaves me free to carry on that case.
nyp.33433076047871	Where is it?
nyp.33433076047871	Where was he?
nyp.33433076047871	Which window did you say was Borland's?
nyp.33433076047871	Who are they?
nyp.33433076047871	Who knew about the fatal proper- ties of indol?
nyp.33433076047871	Who put it in the food?
nyp.33433076047871	Who was this wounded criminal?
nyp.33433076047871	Who, where is, Mr. Brainard? ” “ Dead, I believe, ” Gladys hesitated.
nyp.33433076047871	Why can not we make the world see our case as we see it?
nyp.33433076047871	Why did I come?
nyp.33433076047871	Why did I come? ” The “ Coke. ” Fiend 27I She was reaching again for the snuff- box, but Ken- nedy restrained her.
nyp.33433076047871	Why have I?
nyp.33433076047871	Why, there is enough ex- plosive in this to have silenced a dozen Haddons. ” “ Do you think he could have been kidnapped or murdered? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	Will you come? ” “ I ’d better not, ” refused Carton.
nyp.33433076047871	Will you not go?
nyp.33433076047871	Would he hesitate a moment to send us all to perdition along with himself?
nyp.33433076047871	Would she be used to get at the millionaire and his treasures?
nyp.33433076047871	Would she stop at any- thing to avoid the scandal and disgrace of the charge of bigamy?
nyp.33433076047871	Would you like to see why? ” A moment later we had all piled into Dr. Guthrie's car, standing at the door.
nyp.33433076047871	Yes — What?
nyp.33433076047871	Yes?
nyp.33433076047871	Yes?
nyp.33433076047871	Yes?
nyp.33433076047871	You do n’t think it is anything serious, do you, Doctor? ” “ Oh, no.
nyp.33433076047871	You have read Ellen Key, I presume?
nyp.33433076047871	You received the The Beauty Shop 69 impulses all right?
nyp.33433076047871	You remember him?
nyp.33433076047871	You remember the girl at the hos- pital?
nyp.33433076047871	You see the evident disguise of the roughly written address? ” Carton nodded, for it was that that had excited his suspicion in the first place.
nyp.33433076047871	You under- stand?
nyp.33433076047871	You will be at your office? ” “ Yes, one or the other of us, ” returned Craig, in a tone which Haddon could not hear.
nyp.33433076047871	You will excuse us, Captain, for a few hours?
nyp.33433076047871	You ’d never see that in the original, but when it is enlarged you see how plainly visible the tremors of the hand become?
nyp.33433076047871	You're sure it is the nine- o'clock train she is due on?
nyp.33433076047871	game to go in? ”.
nyp.33433076047871	º “ What do you think of it yourself? ” Barron was asking, nodding to me to join them.
nyp.33433076047871	‘ Look, do n’t you see it?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Agnes, ” Miss Blaisdell had said, “ will you go into the writing- room and bring me some paper, a pen, and ink?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Agnes? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076047871	“ An- nie Grayson?
nyp.33433076047871	“ And who might you be? ” “ I knew him in the old days, ” replied Craig evasively.
nyp.33433076047871	“ And yet it is not a case of drowning exactly, either. ” “ Strangled? ” suggested O’Connor.
nyp.33433076047871	“ And yet, oh, Professor Kennedy, is there nothing higher than this cold science of theirs?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Are you going to keep up this debauch? ” Kennedy laughed.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Are you going to put in a detectaphone? ” I asked agaln.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Are you hurt? ” There was no answer, but as we approached, the man moved, ever so little, through curiosity to see his pursuers.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Before God, I know no more of that than does Mr. Pitts. ” Was she telling the truth?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Blown? ” I repeated.
nyp.33433076047871	“ By some jiu jitsu trick? ” I put in, mindful of the queer- acting Jap at Clendenin's.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Captain, ” he cried, “ can you send a wireless message?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Central told me there had not been a call from this pay- station for half an hour. ” “ No one? ” I echoed almost incredulously.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Could it have been some medical students, body- snatchers? ” I asked musingly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Do you know a cottager there, a Mrs. Brainard? ” “ Oh, yes, indeed.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Do you know who he is? ” asked Craig with a searching glance at Wachtmann's face.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Do you think he was right? ” shot out Kennedy quickly, eying Dr. Ross keenly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Do you think it was a suicide? ” asked the cor- OIleI ’.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Do you wish to speak to him?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Does that mean that he has gone — escaped? ” in- quired Carton anxiously.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Had a mousey smell?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Has anything happened? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Have you come any closer to the truth? ” Kennedy met her eyes, and she turned away.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Have you ever heard of or used cobra venom in any of your medical work? ” he asked casually.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Have you no clue, no suspicions? ” inquired Ken- nedy.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Have you struck a snag? ” “ No, ” he replied slowly, “ I was only waiting.
nyp.33433076047871	“ He was a friend of Mrs. Maitland's, was he not? ” “ I should say not, ” replied Dr. Ross, without hesi- tation.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Heart failure — what does that mean?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Hello — yes — is that you, Burke?
nyp.33433076047871	“ How are the tests coming along? ” I ventured one night, after Kahn had arranged for the uncovering of the grave.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How did that land there? ” he mused aloud.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How did you enjoy it? ” he asked, noticing the title of a history which she had come to replace in the library.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How did you get him so that he is even consid- ering turning state's evidence? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How did you know I was interested? ” asked Ken- nedy keenly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How do you mean? ” “ I would n’t have said anything about it if you had n’t noticed it yourself.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How long ago did the coma first show itself? ” asked Kennedy, after our introductions were com- pleted.
nyp.33433076047871	“ How — what do you mean? ” “ The episode of the telephone booth gave me the first hint.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Hulloa- what's this? ” he exclaimed, as he came to a huge roll of bills and a mass of silver and gold coin.
nyp.33433076047871	“ I have n’t looked into the case very deeply, but I'm not so sure that he had the secret, are you? ” Kennedy smiled.
nyp.33433076047871	“ I send that?
nyp.33433076047871	“ I suppose you have heard of this? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	“ I trust he is all right here? ” “ He would n’t be here if he was all right, ” was the quick reply.
nyp.33433076047871	“ I wonder if he'd recognise me? ” “ Ca n’t say, ” concluded the man.
nyp.33433076047871	“ If any one dares to do that to him, what will they do to me? ” “ Do n’t get cold feet, Haddon, ” urged Carton.
nyp.33433076047871	“ In his note, ” resumed Kennedy, “ he spoke of Dr. ROSS and — ” “ Oh, ” she cried, “ ca n't you see Dr. Ross about it?
nyp.33433076047871	“ In the kitchen? ” repeated Kennedy, evidently not prepared for any trouble in that part of the house.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Indeed? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Inert? ” cried Kilgore and Hollins almost to- gether.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Is he very — very badly? ” asked Craig with well- feigned interest.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Is n’t this a marvellous picture?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Is this Professor Kennedy? ” she asked, gazing at us with a half- wild expression which she was making a tremendous effort to control.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Kidnapped, you say?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Minna, ” murmured Pitts, falling back, exhausted by the excitement, on his pillows, “ Minna — forgive?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Miriam? ” she repeated, dazed.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Must — must it be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? ” she pleaded eagerly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Not a suicide? ” she repeated, looking from one to the other of us.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Oh — oh – heaven help us — me, I mean?'
nyp.33433076047871	“ Oh, Walter, on Broadway?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Or was it simply a piece of vandalism?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Perhaps, Ruth, I had better — ah — see these gen- tlemen alone? ” suggested her father gently.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Professor Kennedy? ” he asked at length, balanc- ing the pasteboard between his fingers.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Save her and capture them — both at once. ” “ How can you? ” fumed Brixton.
nyp.33433076047871	“ So you think he really did have the secret of arti- ficial rubber? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Suicide? ” Craig repeated.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Then what did he do?
nyp.33433076047871	“ There could not have been any substitution? ” I whispered, with my mind still on the broken coffin.
nyp.33433076047871	“ They have submarines in Germany, do n’t they?
nyp.33433076047871	“ They? ” inquired Kennedy, observing her nar- rowly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ This?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Those people in there, ” he nodded his head back in the direction of the Mille- fleurs, “ do you suspect them?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Walter, you'll come, too? ” A quarter of an hour later we were in the court- yard of the city's largest hospital.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Was any doctor called? ” asked Kennedy.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Was she a patron, too? ” “ Oh, yes, ” answered Madame.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Well, what do you think of that? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What Was that? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What are you doing, mixed up in this? ” Suddenly there was a movement in the rear, toward the mausoleum itself.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What can I do for you? ” “ I am from Shorham, the Fifth Avenue jeweller, you know, ” he began brusquely, as he handed the card to Kennedy.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What do you know about Mrs. Brainard?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What do you mean? ” she asked tremulously.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What do you see, Walter? ” he asked, indicating an eyepiece.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What do you suppose is in that, Kennedy? ” he asked, tapping it gingerly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What do you think of him? ” I whispered to Ken- nedy.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What does this mean? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What have you done since? ” asked Craig.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What have you found? ” I asked, startled.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is it? ” “ That, ” he explained, “ is a spectroscope, and those are the lines of the absorption spectrum.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is on that other point? ” asked Kennedy, turning again toward the harbour itself.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is the Red Brotherhood? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is this principle?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is this — a gathering of the clans?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is this, anyhow — gang- War? ” “ Or perhaps bribed? ” suggested Carton.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What is this, anyhow — gang- War? ” “ Or perhaps bribed? ” suggested Carton.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What then? ” I man- aged to gasp.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What was it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What was left?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What was the purpose of that outburst? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What — Gladys — you — ” “ Florence — tell them — it is n’t so — is it?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What ’s that? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's that, those little spots on her º* 48 The Dream Doctor tongue and throat?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's that? ” I asked, as he rose after carefully inserting it.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's that? ” asked Andrews curiously, as Craig set up a screen between the apparatus and the body.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's that? ” asked Carton quickly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's the lay? ” I asked, as he tapped over the walls to ascertain of just what they were composed.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's the matter? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's the matter? ” asked Craig, as we hurried along.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's the matter? ” he asked, catching my eye as he paused with the tintometer in his hand.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's the news from Washing- ton, Burke?
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's this — a zoo? ” I asked, looking about me as I entered the sanctum that evening.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's this? ” A little bell had tinkled sharply, and a light had flashed up on the attachments to the apparatus.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What's this? ” he demanded sternly, eying the man.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What? ” exclaimed Bentley, as he glanced at it and then at the name and history on the back.
nyp.33433076047871	“ What? ” gasped Collins as he read the torn letter.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Where away? ” I asked breathlessly, as Craig met me at the entrance through which he had reasoned I would come.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Where did you find it? ” I asked eagerly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Where is Borland's office? ” repeated Kennedy, again taking from his pocket the field glass and ad- justing it carefully by the window.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Where is Mr. Clendenin? ” he asked familiarly.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Where is it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Where is my hat — wh- where am I?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who are these men, Conrad? ” she asked, turning to Wachtmann.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who is that? ” asked Kennedy, in a low tone, of the pickpocket back of us.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who is this girl Agnes who discovered Miss Blais- dell? ” he shot out at the Millefleurs.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who was it? ” I asked, leaning over.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who was this madman?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who would have known the new process of healing wounds?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who- who is this Thornton? ” demanded Emery Pitts.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Who? ” “ I ca n’t tell.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Whom did he call? ” I whispered, when Craig emerged perspiring from the booth, for I knew that that was his purpose.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Why all this secrecy? ” “ I had a caller this afternoon, ” he began, running his eye over the other passengers to see if we were observed.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Why, what do you mean? ” I48 The Dream Doctor “ Say, ” ejaculated the man.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Why, why do you and Mr. Andrews worry me?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Why?
nyp.33433076047871	“ Would you fight such a move? ” “ Not at all, not at all, ” he answered brusquely.
nyp.33433076047871	“ Yes — how did you know his name? ” “ Guessed it, ” replied Craig laconically, as if he knew much more than he cared to tell.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You can tell it all when the chief takes you to headquarters, see? ” Certainly the man made no very favourable impres- sion by his actions.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You do n’t mean to say that you attach any im- portance to a dream? ” I asked hurriedly, trying to follow him.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You have charge of Mr. Thornton? ” inquired Kennedy.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You have heard, I suppose, of the strange death of Price Maitland? ” began Kennedy when we were seated in the doctor ’s office.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You have no idea who the murderer might be? ” asked Kennedy, addressing Pitts, but glancing keenly at his wife.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You have n’t given this letter out to the press? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You knew that they had discovered the poisoned wall- paper? ” asked Janeff.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You know where that stuff will land you, I pre- sume? ” questioned Kennedy.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You re- call the peculiar marking on the nose of those bullets?
nyp.33433076047871	“ You recall, ” he be- gan, “ that no one seemed to know just who took the jewels in both the cases you first reported?
nyp.33433076047871	“ You remember my use of the sphygmomano- meter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You see, Walter, ” he smiled, “ how soon one gets into a habit?
nyp.33433076047871	“ You think he was bitten by a snake? ” I blurted out, half incredulous.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You want me to stay here un- til the last minute so that I can overhear whether any alarm is given for her?
nyp.33433076047871	“ You will keep me advised of any progress you make in the case? ” the doctor asked.
nyp.33433076047871	“ You ’ll do that, Walter? ” he asked persuasively.
nyp.33433076046766	And Miss Dashwood is as badly off?
nyp.33433076046766	And if you never return you will not regret it, Mary?
nyp.33433076046766	And so you took your life in your hands like this for me?
nyp.33433076046766	And suppose I play you false?
nyp.33433076046766	And what can I do for you?
nyp.33433076046766	And what is that?
nyp.33433076046766	And you ask me to believe this?
nyp.33433076046766	And, meanwhile, is nobody to know anything about you, sir?
nyp.33433076046766	Are there no jewels that one could turn into cash? nyp.33433076046766 Are these yours?"
nyp.33433076046766	Are you getting over it? nyp.33433076046766 Are you still in that man's power?
nyp.33433076046766	At the expense of the family pride?
nyp.33433076046766	Blackmailing Lady Dashwood, I suppose? nyp.33433076046766 But had we not better sit down?
nyp.33433076046766	But what am I to do?
nyp.33433076046766	But what are we going to do now?
nyp.33433076046766	But what are we going to do? nyp.33433076046766 But what has all this got to do with me?"
nyp.33433076046766	But why all this mystery and secrecy? nyp.33433076046766 Did n't he?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you hear that?
nyp.33433076046766	Did you?
nyp.33433076046766	Do you feel equal to moving yet?
nyp.33433076046766	Do you happen to know the man?
nyp.33433076046766	Does that mean your father as well as yourself, or rather that you are worrying about him? nyp.33433076046766 Fortunate?"
nyp.33433076046766	Had you not better give the thing further con- sideration?
nyp.33433076046766	Has anything hap- pened?
nyp.33433076046766	Has there been any material change in the position since last night? nyp.33433076046766 Have you solved the problem?"
nyp.33433076046766	Have you spoken to the people?
nyp.33433076046766	Have you?
nyp.33433076046766	He is better?'' nyp.33433076046766 Hope there's nothing wrong, miss?"
nyp.33433076046766	How did he know, how did he discover it?
nyp.33433076046766	How do I know that you are not one of those who are in league against us? nyp.33433076046766 How do you know I have any? »'"I asked my father.
nyp.33433076046766	How do you know that I am a gentleman?
nyp.33433076046766	I am tired of this mystery,Mary said;"why is Patience Ray hiding there?"
nyp.33433076046766	I sup- pose the lady told you what I was like?
nyp.33433076046766	I suppose a week, or say a fortnight's rent in ad- vance would do for you?
nyp.33433076046766	I understand that you are going to sit down and tamely submit to this thing?
nyp.33433076046766	I'm afraid not,Mary sighed,"but wo n't you go and see Lady Dashwood?
nyp.33433076046766	If it comes to that, why are you here at all? nyp.33433076046766 Insult be hanged,"he cried,"what are you talk- ing about?
nyp.33433076046766	Is it very like me?
nyp.33433076046766	Is it? nyp.33433076046766 Is she still alive?
nyp.33433076046766	Is that really so? nyp.33433076046766 Is there any reply, sir?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is there anything I can do to help you?
nyp.33433076046766	Is there no way out of the difficulty?
nyp.33433076046766	Is there nothing you can do?
nyp.33433076046766	Is this real?
nyp.33433076046766	Is this really a fact?
nyp.33433076046766	Is this thing true?
nyp.33433076046766	Is — is it possible for you to do this thing?
nyp.33433076046766	Look at him,Mayfield whispered,"does it not fill you with pain?
nyp.33433076046766	Look here,he blustered presently,"what do you think you are likely to gain by asking me all these prying questions?
nyp.33433076046766	Meaning that I'm not one, eh? nyp.33433076046766 Meaning that Sir George is to remain in blissful ignorance, I presume?"
nyp.33433076046766	Mr. Darnley dining here, sir?
nyp.33433076046766	My dear Lady Dashwood, how could you possibly avoid it?
nyp.33433076046766	My dear fellow, what other conclusion could I come to? nyp.33433076046766 My education is growing apace,"she laughed,"my dearest Connie, will you be so good as to tell me the way to the nearest pawn- broker's?"
nyp.33433076046766	Oh, are they? nyp.33433076046766 Oh, did he?"
nyp.33433076046766	Oh, my darling,Lady Dashwood cried,"what did you do then?"
nyp.33433076046766	Oh, why go* over the same ground again?
nyp.33433076046766	Perhaps you will be so good as to change me a five- pound note?
nyp.33433076046766	Perhaps you would like to bring that misfortune about?
nyp.33433076046766	She never told you about the old Squire and your father's first wife Maria Edger- ton? nyp.33433076046766 Slight, what are you talking about?
nyp.33433076046766	So her ladyship has not told you, sir?
nyp.33433076046766	So you have actually worked for that paper?
nyp.33433076046766	That's bad,the man was saying,"why did n't you let me know that things had got to this pass?
nyp.33433076046766	Then who, sir, are you, I'd like to know?
nyp.33433076046766	Then you are going to let me have the letter?
nyp.33433076046766	Was I?
nyp.33433076046766	Was — was he some criminal?
nyp.33433076046766	Well, why not? nyp.33433076046766 Well?"
nyp.33433076046766	Well?
nyp.33433076046766	What am I saying?
nyp.33433076046766	What are you thinking about?
nyp.33433076046766	What can I tell you about that?
nyp.33433076046766	What difference does the loss of those papers imply? nyp.33433076046766 What do you know of our trouble?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433076046766	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433076046766	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076046766	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076046766	What do you want them for?
nyp.33433076046766	What does it all mean?
nyp.33433076046766	What does that old man know? nyp.33433076046766 What does the man mean?"
nyp.33433076046766	What does your ladyship mean?
nyp.33433076046766	What experiment is that?
nyp.33433076046766	What for?
nyp.33433076046766	What has become of the cold, reserved girl that I met some days ago at Victoria Sta- tion? nyp.33433076046766 What has come to everything and everybody?
nyp.33433076046766	What is all this I hear?
nyp.33433076046766	What is it?
nyp.33433076046766	What is she talking about?
nyp.33433076046766	What is the latest sensational development of the mystery?
nyp.33433076046766	What is the matter?
nyp.33433076046766	What is wrong?
nyp.33433076046766	What on earth is the matter with you?
nyp.33433076046766	What rea- son have you got to be fond of the name of Dashwood? nyp.33433076046766 What sin are you alluding to?
nyp.33433076046766	What were you doing outside to- night?
nyp.33433076046766	What will you think of me when you hear of the part I played in that unhappy affair? nyp.33433076046766 What — what are you doing here?"
nyp.33433076046766	What's the matter with the girl now?
nyp.33433076046766	What?
nyp.33433076046766	Where are you going?
nyp.33433076046766	Where have you been gallivanting to?
nyp.33433076046766	Who are you, and what are you doing here?
nyp.33433076046766	Why are you hiding here, old lady?
nyp.33433076046766	Why are you looking at me so?
nyp.33433076046766	Why are you so silent?
nyp.33433076046766	Why are you spying upon me like this\ Why are you down so early?
nyp.33433076046766	Why ca n't she?
nyp.33433076046766	Why did you not return before, knowing how anxious I should be? nyp.33433076046766 Why do you smoke here?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why go over the old ground again?
nyp.33433076046766	Why just now? nyp.33433076046766 Why put an impossible case?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why should I do it?
nyp.33433076046766	Why should I mind? nyp.33433076046766 Why should I not be happy?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why should you be sorry?
nyp.33433076046766	Why? nyp.33433076046766 Why?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why?
nyp.33433076046766	Why?
nyp.33433076046766	Will Mr. Darnley please to ring the bell?
nyp.33433076046766	Will not 128 THE NETHER MILLSTONE your ladyship oblige me by leaving matters just as they are for the moment? nyp.33433076046766 Will you 230 THE NETHER MILLSTONE please to see that my two baskets are placed in the luggage van, Gibbons?"
nyp.33433076046766	Will you kindly look closely?
nyp.33433076046766	Will you kindly smell that, sir,he asked,"and tell me what you make of it?"
nyp.33433076046766	Will you trust me and be patient?
nyp.33433076046766	Yes, but who is this Vincent Dashwood?
nyp.33433076046766	You are convinced that Mayfield is a finished scoundrel, then?
nyp.33433076046766	You are going to get some roses?
nyp.33433076046766	You have been there long?
nyp.33433076046766	You have heard all the good news?
nyp.33433076046766	You have read the story?
nyp.33433076046766	You knew him very well?
nyp.33433076046766	You think so highly of him as that?
nyp.33433076046766	Your sin?
nyp.33433076046766	* There was nothing left on the hall floor last night, I suppose?
nyp.33433076046766	100 THE UNFINISHED WORD 101"But how do you know?"
nyp.33433076046766	32 A CRUEL MISUNDERSTANDING 33"What is the meaning of this?"
nyp.33433076046766	Am I always to be telling you about it?
nyp.33433076046766	Am I likely to find him there?"
nyp.33433076046766	And after all these years, would it not be a cruel thing to deprive Miss Mary of a home which she has come to regard as her own?
nyp.33433076046766	And have you any money?"
nyp.33433076046766	And how did you get into the house?
nyp.33433076046766	And how is he — how is Ralph?"
nyp.33433076046766	And how much longer are we all going to re- main under the tyranny of that man?"
nyp.33433076046766	And now tell me, why do you persist in call- ing yourself Ralph Darnley?"
nyp.33433076046766	And now what do you propose to do next?"
nyp.33433076046766	And now, Mr. Drake, after hearing all this, can you suggest that I should gain anything by burning this house down?
nyp.33433076046766	And she does not know, she does not dream — indeed, how should she?
nyp.33433076046766	And so you have come back to claim your own, sir?"
nyp.33433076046766	And the name of your mother?"
nyp.33433076046766	And what did I find?
nyp.33433076046766	And what manner of man will the world call you if I fail to come to your assistance?
nyp.33433076046766	And when the right man comes along you will not refuse him simply because he does not have a long pedigree?"
nyp.33433076046766	And who, sir, may you be?"
nyp.33433076046766	And yet it could not be; after all these years, it is impossible that the form of — well, what is it?"
nyp.33433076046766	And you are prepared to share the lot of a poor man without even a pedi- gree?"
nyp.33433076046766	And, that being the case, what did Mary know of the man?
nyp.33433076046766	Any little alteration to suit you?
nyp.33433076046766	Any objection to make, Slight?
nyp.33433076046766	Are you sure that Lady Dashwood thinks me dead?"
nyp.33433076046766	As they are your creatures, is it not possible for you to get rid of them?"
nyp.33433076046766	But how did you manage to find the way to this wing so easily?"
nyp.33433076046766	But how much longer was this to continue?
nyp.33433076046766	But is not Sir George very late?"
nyp.33433076046766	But suppose I could show Sir George a way to get this money?
nyp.33433076046766	But there is one thing that puzzles me — if things are as you say, why do you not press your claim?"
nyp.33433076046766	But why did n't your dear relative fetch her as arranged?
nyp.33433076046766	But why did she not tell us at once, why did she go on feeding him with money?
nyp.33433076046766	But you will come with me and see the dear com- panions who have taught me this lesson?"
nyp.33433076046766	But, seeing that the house is all right, why do the authorities interfere in this unreasonable way?"
nyp.33433076046766	CHAPTER XXXII MUST THIS THING BE?
nyp.33433076046766	Ca n't you imagine the poor girl's state of mind if those drawings had been returned?
nyp.33433076046766	Ca n't you trust me?"
nyp.33433076046766	Ca n't you understand my feelings?"
nyp.33433076046766	Ca n't you understand the interest I take in my own property?
nyp.33433076046766	Can not you do without them, father?"
nyp.33433076046766	Can you account for this strange happening?"
nyp.33433076046766	Can you do it?"
nyp.33433076046766	Can you guess who he was?"
nyp.33433076046766	Can you speak of so disgraceful a thing by such a name?
nyp.33433076046766	Connie, Con- nie, what will become of us?"
nyp.33433076046766	Could a million obliga- tions like this increase the burden of my debt of grati- tude to you?"
nyp.33433076046766	Could this feeble, white- faced creature be the same jaunty, debonnaire figure that had been so popular in the Paris salons?
nyp.33433076046766	Could you do work like mine, for instance?"
nyp.33433076046766	Darnley?"
nyp.33433076046766	Darnley?"
nyp.33433076046766	Darnley?"
nyp.33433076046766	Dear mother, do you see what I mean?
nyp.33433076046766	Did I dream that, or did Mary come then and say that she loved me?
nyp.33433076046766	Did I not hear once from somebody that the Dashwood emeralds are unique?
nyp.33433076046766	Did I not tell you that Mayfield was a vil- lain?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did I not understand my — Mary, to say that you are Mr. Ralph Darnley?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did Walters take it?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did the girl know anything about it, Kalph asked himself?
nyp.33433076046766	Did the woman know that?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you behave in this insolent way in Sir Ralph's time?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you ever see that face before?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you ever try your band at de- signing?
nyp.33433076046766	Did you know of their existence?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you not guess it before?
nyp.33433076046766	Did you not meet a Mr. Vincent Dashwood at the dower house to- day?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you not observe the extraordinary like- ness?"
nyp.33433076046766	Did you not see him, Slight?
nyp.33433076046766	Do I look like that kind of person?"
nyp.33433076046766	Do n't you think BO?"
nyp.33433076046766	Do you dare to tell me that a man is not standing there?
nyp.33433076046766	Do you know that the Razzle Dazzle is a property worth £ 10,000 a year?
nyp.33433076046766	Do you know what I should have done had this happened a century or two ago?"
nyp.33433076046766	Do you know what I would do if the property were mine?
nyp.33433076046766	Do you mean to say that this was found in the ashes of the fire?"
nyp.33433076046766	Do you realise what will happen to you if I go away without coming to some understanding?
nyp.33433076046766	Father, you have found a way?"
nyp.33433076046766	Friend of yours?"
nyp.33433076046766	Had Lady Dashwood sud- denly lost her reason?
nyp.33433076046766	Had her coldness killed that love?
nyp.33433076046766	Had not Ralph Darnley admitted that he had business in the neighbourhood of Dashwood Hall?
nyp.33433076046766	Had they forgotten me?"
nyp.33433076046766	Has anybody a conveyance that will take Miss Dashwood as far as the dower house?
nyp.33433076046766	Has he lost all his manhood that he stays here?"
nyp.33433076046766	Has it never occurred to you that he had some powerful motive that kept him here all this time?
nyp.33433076046766	Has time stood still with him that he looks so young?
nyp.33433076046766	Have the servants left the house in a body?"
nyp.33433076046766	Have they made some fresh discovery?
nyp.33433076046766	Have you been asleep in my chair all this time?"
nyp.33433076046766	Have you not saved my life twice?
nyp.33433076046766	Have you seen anything of Ralph Darnley lately?"
nyp.33433076046766	Have you some secret here?"
nyp.33433076046766	He is some business man, I presume?"
nyp.33433076046766	He was n't mad, was he?"
nyp.33433076046766	How can you have the face to stay here and allow me to do your drawings for you?
nyp.33433076046766	How can you prove that he did n't"161 162 THE NETHER MILLSTONE know?
nyp.33433076046766	How could he tell that there was something under the surface?
nyp.33433076046766	How could she ever have taken him for her grandson, she wondered?
nyp.33433076046766	How dare this man, how dare any man, talk to her like this?
nyp.33433076046766	How did you manage to obtain entrance to the house?"
nyp.33433076046766	How did you recognise me?"
nyp.33433076046766	How do I know that your indignation against Horace Mayfield is not all assumed?"
nyp.33433076046766	How long has it been going on?"
nyp.33433076046766	How much better was she behav- ing in the hour of trial?
nyp.33433076046766	How much longer is this state of affairs to con- tinue, Ralph?"
nyp.33433076046766	I asked you if ever you have seen that face before?"
nyp.33433076046766	I did not want to place you under any kind of obliga- tion, so I chose this method""But why?"
nyp.33433076046766	I do not wish to seem in the least curious or impertinent, but have you no other name?"
nyp.33433076046766	I hope there is nothing wrong at the dower house?"
nyp.33433076046766	I presume, sir, that you have not had any breakfast?"
nyp.33433076046766	I shall not have the pleasure of seeing you at dinner to- night?"
nyp.33433076046766	I suppose that state- ment is not too much for your intelligence, Drake?"
nyp.33433076046766	I suppose that you would not have the slightest ob- jection to earning £ 5?"
nyp.33433076046766	I think that is what you mean to convey?"
nyp.33433076046766	I want to know if you have seen this box before?"
nyp.33433076046766	I wonder if I shall see that young doctor again?"
nyp.33433076046766	I wonder where that is?
nyp.33433076046766	If I tell you I have none, what then?"
nyp.33433076046766	If I wait for the money, what hap- pens?"
nyp.33433076046766	If not, why did she appear to be so strangely moved by the plain recital?
nyp.33433076046766	If the man is the person he claims to be, why did he not make his identity known long ago?
nyp.33433076046766	If there is any mys- tery here, any secret that lies like a shadow over our house""Was ever a great family without its trouble?"
nyp.33433076046766	If this mur- der had been successful, and you had not been found out, what would have happened?
nyp.33433076046766	In her mind's eye Mary could see her- self alone in those dingy lodgings, painting her post- cards and waiting for, what?
nyp.33433076046766	In the first place the police""Oh, the police, have they been here?
nyp.33433076046766	Is Mr. Vincent Dashwood pretty well known to people here, Slight?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is it quite impossible for you to get the money to- day?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is it so utterly impossible to find this money?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is n't it natural?
nyp.33433076046766	Is not that so?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is she a favourite here, Slight?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is that so?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is that what you mean?"
nyp.33433076046766	Is there any clue to the mysterious attack upon Mr. — er, Ralph Darnley?
nyp.33433076046766	Is this a specimen of your family pride?
nyp.33433076046766	Is this the man for whose sake you 136 THE NETHER MILLSTONE have been raising money on the family jewels?
nyp.33433076046766	It is the legal verification of the marriage that you seek?"
nyp.33433076046766	It seemed hardly fair to take advantage of a weak- minded old woman in this, and yet —"Who is this Mr. Vincent that you speak of?"
nyp.33433076046766	It seems as WHO DID IT?
nyp.33433076046766	It seems that she has a dissipated, selfish son who has brought her to this pass — Lady Dashwood, what is the matter?"
nyp.33433076046766	It was very hard upon this feeble old MUST THIS THING BE?
nyp.33433076046766	Lady MUST THIS THING BE?
nyp.33433076046766	Mary, why do you allow your father to ask Mayfield here when you dislike him so much?
nyp.33433076046766	May I ask if you have found what you were looking for?"
nyp.33433076046766	Mayfield came for a telegram form, so I presume he has made matters right with you?
nyp.33433076046766	Mayfield?"
nyp.33433076046766	Must This Thing Be?
nyp.33433076046766	My dear Ralph — if I may call you so in private — is it possible that your coming is the augury of a happier time for me?
nyp.33433076046766	My dearie, ca n't you help me to think what it was?
nyp.33433076046766	My very early days were spent on the estate of Sir Ralph Dashwood, of Dashwood Hall, Maybe you have heard of it, miss?"
nyp.33433076046766	Need I say any more than that?
nyp.33433076046766	Newcome?"
nyp.33433076046766	Newcome?"
nyp.33433076046766	No packing cases or anything of that kind, Sir George?"
nyp.33433076046766	Nothing happened yet, no kind of move on the part of the foe, I suppose?"
nyp.33433076046766	Now does anybody know a per- son who bears those initials?
nyp.33433076046766	Now tell me your honest opinion — do you suppose for a moment that Mayfield would marry Mary if she came to him empty- handed?"
nyp.33433076046766	Now what are you going to do?"
nyp.33433076046766	Now, what caused the floor to burn in that erratic manner?
nyp.33433076046766	Of course, it is all very wrong, but in the circumstances, what else could we do?
nyp.33433076046766	Oh, Connie, what are you going to do, what can you do?"
nyp.33433076046766	Only you are to as"^ no questions, and you are not to jaove away from E@E?
nyp.33433076046766	Quite like a scene from a modern melo- drama, is it not?
nyp.33433076046766	Ralph, are you sure that you can carry out your boast?"
nyp.33433076046766	Sayers?"
nyp.33433076046766	Shall we go outside?"
nyp.33433076046766	Should she ever grow soft and sympathetic like that?
nyp.33433076046766	Sir George groaned,"or is it all some hideous dream?"
nyp.33433076046766	Slight, why are n't there any curried eggs and some devilled kidneys?
nyp.33433076046766	So he lies there in the verandah, does he?
nyp.33433076046766	Speed?
nyp.33433076046766	Still, he knew there was no getting away from the fact, for had not Dashwood heard it from the younger man's lips?
nyp.33433076046766	Subsequently she married the edi- 220 THE NETHER MILLSTONE tor — proprietor of a popular paper — and he bought the old home for her?"
nyp.33433076046766	THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS 245 What game am I playing?
nyp.33433076046766	Tell me, did you feel very much afraid?"
nyp.33433076046766	Tell me, have you heard anything as to those last drawings of mine?"
nyp.33433076046766	The paraffin ran into little ripples over WHO DID IT?
nyp.33433076046766	The police are pretty certain to ask you a great many questions concerning it, as you can see for yourself?"
nyp.33433076046766	The question is were you there?"
nyp.33433076046766	The question is, can you help me, can you do anything to prevent this thing?
nyp.33433076046766	The question was flung headlong at Vincent Dash- wood, who had started and changed colour as May- UNDER WHICH LORD?
nyp.33433076046766	Then where did all those crisp short ashes come from?
nyp.33433076046766	UNDER WHICH LORD?
nyp.33433076046766	UNDER WHICH LORD?
nyp.33433076046766	Under Which Lord?
nyp.33433076046766	WHO DID IT?
nyp.33433076046766	Was it possible that she was on the track of another family trouble, some new and black disgrace of which she had hitherto known noth- ing?
nyp.33433076046766	Was it to bury some secret in the ashes?
nyp.33433076046766	Was she shielding the man who gave out more or less directly that he was the proper owner of Dashwood Hall?
nyp.33433076046766	Was there some deep and powerful reason why Vincent Dashwood desired to see PRIDE OK PREJUDIOE 163 the old house burnt to the ground?
nyp.33433076046766	Was there yet another vulgar mystery here?
nyp.33433076046766	Well?"
nyp.33433076046766	Were all people alike when it came to the test?
nyp.33433076046766	What about the stick?"
nyp.33433076046766	What am I to do?
nyp.33433076046766	What are you concealing from me?"
nyp.33433076046766	What are you doing here at this time in the evening?"
nyp.33433076046766	What are you doing here?
nyp.33433076046766	What are you doing here?"
nyp.33433076046766	What are you doing there?"
nyp.33433076046766	What are you gaping at?"
nyp.33433076046766	What are you going to do about it now?"
nyp.33433076046766	What better arrangement could be made?
nyp.33433076046766	What blow could be DESECRATION 83 heavier or harder to bear than ours?
nyp.33433076046766	What can he know?
nyp.33433076046766	What can you know of love in its better and higher sense?
nyp.33433076046766	What could it all mean?
nyp.33433076046766	What could possibly have happened since last night to change him like this?
nyp.33433076046766	What did birth matter, what did anything matter, so long as the man was good and true and the woman sweet and ten- der?
nyp.33433076046766	What did you suppose that we were going to do?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you make the initials to be?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you say to a cigar on the terrace after breakfast?
nyp.33433076046766	What do you say to that?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you say, Mary?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you suggest?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you think of it?"
nyp.33433076046766	What do you think of that for a Dashwood?"
nyp.33433076046766	What does it all mean, Lady Dashwood?
nyp.33433076046766	What does it matter what you are, so long as you are what you are — a good man, with a kind heart for a foolish girl like me?
nyp.33433076046766	What had Ralph Darnley been saying?
nyp.33433076046766	What has he been doing now to cause you all this anxiety?
nyp.33433076046766	What have I done to deserve this degradation?
nyp.33433076046766	What have you done with my father?"
nyp.33433076046766	What is it dear?
nyp.33433076046766	What is that?"
nyp.33433076046766	What is the mat- ter?"

nyp.33433076046766	What is to be done to avert this awful calamity?
nyp.33433076046766	What is to prevent his coming back and claiming everything?
nyp.33433076046766	What shall I call you, sir?"
nyp.33433076046766	What then, my dear sir?"
nyp.33433076046766	What then?
nyp.33433076046766	What then?
nyp.33433076046766	What was it he found?
nyp.33433076046766	What was it that burnt here so fiercely?"
nyp.33433076046766	What was it that was going to rid us of the hateful presence of Horace Mayfield?
nyp.33433076046766	What was that man doing here, and what letter was it that he was so anxious to obtain?
nyp.33433076046766	What was the cherished posses- sion of Dashwood worth so long as the shadow of dis- honour lay across the threshold?
nyp.33433076046766	What was the use of all her pride?
nyp.33433076046766	What were his title and his old family worth now?
nyp.33433076046766	What wickedness were you two up to in the old days 2 What does it mean?"

nyp.33433076046766	Where was her pride of race and station now?
nyp.33433076046766	Where were the force and courage that rose above circum- stances and fought physical weakness under?
nyp.33433076046766	Who Did It?
nyp.33433076046766	Who is the man you speak of?"
nyp.33433076046766	Who was Ralph Darnley that he should adopt this tone towards her?
nyp.33433076046766	Why ca n't you leave a fellow alone?
nyp.33433076046766	Why did n't you wake me?"

nyp.33433076046766	Why had his mother not told him?
nyp.33433076046766	Why had she been so weak and feeble?
nyp.33433076046766	Why had she withheld this fact from him?
nyp.33433076046766	Why has she taken such a strange fancy to you, I wonder?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why not to- night?
nyp.33433076046766	Why should I buy that group of flowers for five shillings when I can sell you a photogravure of Watts's for half the money?
nyp.33433076046766	Why should I worry you with our troubles?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why should this Sir Vincent want that letter?
nyp.33433076046766	Why should you mind?"
nyp.33433076046766	Why that telegram?
nyp.33433076046766	Why was he afraid of Lady Dashwood?
nyp.33433076046766	Why was the room so insufferable, where did that stifling air come from?
nyp.33433076046766	Will he tell me, for instance, in what part of California his mother lived?"
nyp.33433076046766	Will you call a cab for me?"

nyp.33433076046766	Wo n't you forgive me?"
nyp.33433076046766	Wo n't you take pity on me and dine with me to- night?"
nyp.33433076046766	Would Horace Mayfield care for you if he heard that you had lost your fortune?"
nyp.33433076046766	Would her misfortunes render her more lenient to the failings of others?
nyp.33433076046766	Would the girls dine with him, and go to the theatre afterwards?
nyp.33433076046766	Would you alarm your servants, would you have them know what their master is, when all his passions are aroused?
nyp.33433076046766	Would you be stand- ing here to- night if Mary were a pauper instead of heiress to Dashwood Hall?"
nyp.33433076046766	Would you have done so unless you had made up your mind to surren- der?"
nyp.33433076046766	You are not going to refuse me this great favour?"
nyp.33433076046766	You are quite sure as to the straw, Sir George?"
nyp.33433076046766	You can guess whose likeness it was?"
nyp.33433076046766	You do n't suppose that I should be likely to burn down a house of my own that contained some fifty thousand pounds worth of artistic treasures?"
nyp.33433076046766	You have n't taken your room?"

nyp.33433076054638	Any possible clue?
nyp.33433076054638	Are the letters always intelligible to you?
nyp.33433076054638	Are you a teacher? ” A knock upon the door saved her from an im- mediate reply.

nyp.33433076054638	Could it be Wolvert, lying in wait for her?
nyp.33433076054638	Could it be merely nerves, or was the worn, pallid, little creature under the spell of some emotion too strong to be wholly controlled?
nyp.33433076054638	Could it be that her disfigurement was so great as to cause such repugnance and almost hysterical fear in a chance observer?
nyp.33433076054638	Could it be that her faith, her trust in turn, was rooted in something deeper than friend-... ship?
nyp.33433076054638	Could it have been the work of Welch?

nyp.33433076054638	I am concerned only with one question: — Who among us is the traitor? ” Wolvert raised his eyebrows.
nyp.33433076054638	I did well to select this model for you. ” “ It is really mine? ” The girl turned her flushed face from the mirror.
nyp.33433076054638	I know nothing about the girl with the scar or any other member of her household. ” “ Do n’t you? ” The Chief eyed him steadily.
nyp.33433076054638	I must see it through alone! ” “ Then you — you mean that I am to leave you here? ” His arms dropped to his sides.
nyp.33433076054638	I take it that it is strictly confidential? ” “ I congratulate you! ” Her lips twitched again in grim humor.
nyp.33433076054638	I thought of that, in any event. ” “ Do you speak any foreign language? ” The girl shook her head.
nyp.33433076054638	I wonder if you will attend to mine?
nyp.33433076054638	I – I thought I had better come straight to you. ” “ An electric torch? ” Mrs. Atterbury repeated and paused, her lips pursed thoughtfully.
nyp.33433076054638	If you are not an active accomplice of this woman, what hidden purpose holds you to this house, what common bond links you with these people?
nyp.33433076054638	In this den of criminals?
nyp.33433076054638	In whose pay are you?
nyp.33433076054638	Is anyone ill? ” She blinked realistically in the sudden glare and her PORTRAIT OF BEETHOVEN 261 clear, young voice rang out above the others.
nyp.33433076054638	Is it that something has happened?
nyp.33433076054638	Is it — love? ” Her eyes gave him his answer and for a moment CHAPTER XIX.
nyp.33433076054638	Is n't this simply fascinating? ” Betty turned slowly.
nyp.33433076054638	Is the missing person a relative? ” Madame Dumois seated herself as he had indi- cated and her lips set in a straight line.
nyp.33433076054638	Is there some- thing which you have not told me? ”, Betty was thankful for the burning blush which swept to her brow.
nyp.33433076054638	It is really quite simple; do you think you will be able to carry it through successfully? ” “ I — I think so, ” responded Betty, faintly.
nyp.33433076054638	It was Madame Cimmino, however, who broke the silence crying out in a paroxysm of jealous fury: “ What is it to you if he lives or dies?
nyp.33433076054638	It was little Miss Pope?
nyp.33433076054638	It will take me a few days to complete it; shall I bring it here to you? ” “ If you will, please.
nyp.33433076054638	It's out of the question. ” “ Is it? ” McCormick swore a vigorous oath.
nyp.33433076054638	Let me undertake it for you, let me bear the burden? ” “ Please, please do n't ask me!
nyp.33433076054638	May I have the reference library for an hour?
nyp.33433076054638	Must we find you always at our heels?
nyp.33433076054638	My position is a highly advantageous one; why should I re- linquish it? ” “ For your own safety.
nyp.33433076054638	No harm could come to me while you waited. ” “ You mean that? ” His arms tightened about her.
nyp.33433076054638	Now which is the pay dirt? ” Wolvert knelt beside him and threw the light upon the gaping cavity.
nyp.33433076054638	Oh, the market has broken?
nyp.33433076054638	Oh, wo n't you understand that my hands are tied, and I can only warn you of your danger?
nyp.33433076054638	Ross, may I ask why you are so solicitous in this matter?
nyp.33433076054638	Sharp as a steel trap, she is — a regular Tartar! ” “ Um — French? ” Herbert Ross seemed in no wise perturbed by the formidable description.
nyp.33433076054638	She had assured herself that the household had long since retired to slumber; who, then, was this nocturnal intruder?
nyp.33433076054638	She had come for help, but what help could she find there?
nyp.33433076054638	So many things about the affair puzzle me. ” “ Indeed?
nyp.33433076054638	Surely you can tell me in what way am I being used as a tool? ” “ The letters you write, the commissions you exe- cute for her!
nyp.33433076054638	THE SILENT INTRUDER 29 “ What is it? ” she demanded in a voice which she strove in vain to control.
nyp.33433076054638	That is a blind trail, Chief. ” “ Look here, Ross, what's got into you? ” McCor- mick blustered.
nyp.33433076054638	That is quite clear? ” “ Oh, yes! ” laughed Betty ingenuously.
nyp.33433076054638	That is understood? ” The girl's eyes narrowed and for an instant her lips compressed, but she replied quietly: “ Of course.
nyp.33433076054638	That's the ticket, eh? ” Mortie Dana looked up from the hot- house pear he was peeling with placid precision.
nyp.33433076054638	That's why he's got no alibi. ” “ Did no one see him or talk to him? ” Betty's voice was low and strained.
nyp.33433076054638	The letter was to be de- livered by a man; could it be that it would come from the prisoner himself or one of his friends?
nyp.33433076054638	The police will beat me to it, if I do n't hustle. ” “ But what is a scar?
nyp.33433076054638	The safe was there as she had suspected, but would chance, which had served her so well that night, enable her to glimpse what lay within it?
nyp.33433076054638	The streets were narrow and unfamiliar, even squalid; where was she being taken?
nyp.33433076054638	The young woman you employed me to find l ’ ’ “ And you have found her? ” She eyed him warily, puzzled by his manner.
nyp.33433076054638	The young woman you said had undertaken this translation for you?
nyp.33433076054638	There's some mistake — ” “ Why are you so sure? ” Mrs. Atterbury flashed at him.
nyp.33433076054638	To throw on her cloak and boots and steal out 310 SUSPENSE tercept and guard her?
nyp.33433076054638	Very important business called me away; I wonder if you can guess what is was? ” “ The missing young woman? ” she demanded eagerly.
nyp.33433076054638	Very important business called me away; I wonder if you can guess what is was? ” “ The missing young woman? ” she demanded eagerly.
nyp.33433076054638	Was a new obstacle to be added to those which even now crowded everywhere about her path?
nyp.33433076054638	Was he contemplating revolt?
nyp.33433076054638	Was he deliberately evading the issue or delaying it for some sinister purpose of his own?
nyp.33433076054638	Was it merely for ornamental purposes, or did it serve as a screen for something behind?
nyp.33433076054638	Was it that through her they dreaded interference and possible disaster from an outside source?
nyp.33433076054638	Was it to implore forgiveness for his accusation, or in final warning of disaster?
nyp.33433076054638	Was she destined to be held in duress until the raid which Herbert had predicted took place and escape was forever cut off?
nyp.33433076054638	Was she trying to discover how much he really knew that she might the better arm herself against him?
nyp.33433076054638	Was the dog merely guarding her until his keeper appeared to relieve him of his charge?
nyp.33433076054638	Was the end satisfactory to all con- cerned?
nyp.33433076054638	Was the tragedy upon which she had stumbled but the figment of a dream?
nyp.33433076054638	Was there no cross upon it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054638	Watch me knock it to Smithereens! ” “ And have the house about our ears? ” Wolvert sneered, but the other paid no heed.
nyp.33433076054638	Well, sell the shares I hold in that company at whatever price you can obtain, do you understand?
nyp.33433076054638	Were Mrs. Atterbury's affairs also somehow involved in this tragic crisis?
nyp.33433076054638	Were the flowers meant for a sign by which her own identity was to have been disclosed to the mys- terious other woman?
nyp.33433076054638	What could I tell you? ” He shrugged, laughing lightly.
nyp.33433076054638	What could it be?
nyp.33433076054638	What did you mean ‘ queer, sir?
nyp.33433076054638	What do you mean to do with her when you have found her? ” “ I repeat, that is solely my affair. ” She fixed him with a shrewd glance.
nyp.33433076054638	What had Betty Shaw to fear from her?
nyp.33433076054638	What had happened to bring that woman in ter- ror to the house?
nyp.33433076054638	What had he “ caught, ” or was it that he himself had been caught in some diffi- culty?
nyp.33433076054638	What harm can come to me?
nyp.33433076054638	What have you got to say for yourself? ” “ Quite a good deal, if you will listen, Madame Dumois. ” Herbert Ross smiled ingratiatingly.
nyp.33433076054638	What have you learned? ” The question sprang eagerly from his º ºº 284,.
nyp.33433076054638	What if Mrs. Atterbury her- self were ignorant of the tragedy which had taken place beneath her roof?
nyp.33433076054638	What if Tºwere to take you away now by sheer force? ” “ But you will not. ” Betty spoke softly but with absolute finality.
nyp.33433076054638	What if Wolvert's visit to the library had been, like her own, a surreptitious one?
nyp.33433076054638	What if she had indeed made an enemy y 22* THE ORCHID LADY 187 of him?
nyp.33433076054638	What interest have you in my motive for instituting this search?
nyp.33433076054638	What is the nature of your work, if I may ask?
nyp.33433076054638	What is this? ” The professor stared at her over his huge- rimmed glasses.
nyp.33433076054638	What is your interest in this girl?
nyp.33433076054638	What is your pur- pose?
nyp.33433076054638	What motive lay behind this suggestion from Mrs. Atterbury?
nyp.33433076054638	What must he think of her presence yet deliberate evasion of him?
nyp.33433076054638	What mysterious bond held these three, widely diversified as they were, in a common fellowship with Mrs. Atterbury and her coterie?
nyp.33433076054638	What was going on below?
nyp.33433076054638	What was there about the huge picture which had so impressed itself upon her employer's unquiet mind that her subconscious instinct drew her to it?
nyp.33433076054638	What would be her fate at the hands of his grim client?
nyp.33433076054638	What's the dope? ” “ Simply that she is too well known, too promi- nent.
nyp.33433076054638	What's the lay? ” “ I do n't understand! ” Betty reeled against him, then shrank away.
nyp.33433076054638	What, for instance? ” He flung him- self into a chair and smiled up at her.
nyp.33433076054638	Where am I to go this afternoon? ” “ To the Carnival Room at the Café de Luxe.
nyp.33433076054638	Where and when was she last seen? ” Madame Dumois rose majestically.
nyp.33433076054638	Where have you been all this while?
nyp.33433076054638	Where is she? ” “ At home. ” He caught the two trembling wrinkled hands in his.
nyp.33433076054638	Which would be the greater betrayal?
nyp.33433076054638	Who can tell? ” Betty paused and drew a deep breath.
nyp.33433076054638	Who could he be, and through him what menace threatened the quiet woman with the inscrutable face to whom her serv- ices were bound?
nyp.33433076054638	Who killed George Breckin- ridge? ” “ Jack Wolvert, ” the Chief responded slowly.
nyp.33433076054638	Who sent you here to spy upon us, girl?
nyp.33433076054638	Who was the man she had seen, and what was the meaning of the phrase that he had broken?
nyp.33433076054638	Who's on the job? ” “ Clark.
nyp.33433076054638	Whose game could she be playing? ” UNMASEQED 321 “ I know her now!
nyp.33433076054638	Why did n't you go yesterday when I warned you? ” “ What did you mean?
nyp.33433076054638	Why did n't you go yesterday when I warned you? ” “ What did you mean?
nyp.33433076054638	Why did she trust him so wholly?
nyp.33433076054638	Why drag in bogies when you can pledge other things more to your taste? ” “ Beauty, my boy, and youth.
nyp.33433076054638	Why had Mrs. Atterbury chosen this route for her?
nyp.33433076054638	Why had Ross taken this desperate chance to communicate with her?
nyp.33433076054638	Why had he avoided her since their FANGS OF THE WOLF 213 mutual surprise meeting in the library?
nyp.33433076054638	Why should I leave this place? ” “ Because you are young, with all your life be- fore you!
nyp.33433076054638	Why should he be- lieve in her?
nyp.33433076054638	Why should he hesitate?
nyp.33433076054638	Why should she not at least investigate the adver- tisement?
nyp.33433076054638	Why should she not avail herself of this oppor- tunity to pursue a study which possessed for her an irresistible fascination?
nyp.33433076054638	Why was she singled out to be the bearer of these mysterious missives?
nyp.33433076054638	Why were they waiting to visit their vengeance upon her if they were assured of her guilt?
nyp.33433076054638	Will you be good enough to explain?
nyp.33433076054638	Will you not give me your hand, and say that we shall be friends? ” “ If you insist. ” Betty forced a smile.
nyp.33433076054638	Will you take my place?
nyp.33433076054638	Wo n't you let me save you while there is yet time? ” “ Oh, please! ” Betty cried a trifle breathlessly.
nyp.33433076054638	Wo n't you tell me what it is that I may take steps to remedy it?
nyp.33433076054638	Wo n't you trust me, dear?
nyp.33433076054638	Would frankness be her wisest course?
nyp.33433076054638	Would her moment never come?
nyp.33433076054638	Would swift retribution descend and en- gulf her also, the innocent with the guilty, while yet her position had availed her nothing?
nyp.33433076054638	Would the dog know her again, if chance should deliver her to his mercy?
nyp.33433076054638	Would the slender thread of her fabrication bear the weight of this woman's keen analysis or would it snap beneath her swift inexorable judgment?
nyp.33433076054638	Would they pene- trate the closed doors above and give warning that treachery was afoot?
nyp.33433076054638	Would you be willing to lay it aside and dress in colors, such colors as I choose for you? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433076054638	Would you care to go out for a little while? ” Betty ’s eyes eagerly turned to the window were sufficient answer.
nyp.33433076054638	Would you mind running down there for an hour this morning, my dear?
nyp.33433076054638	You are free, then, in the evenings?
nyp.33433076054638	You are looking for a companion or secretary?
nyp.33433076054638	You are not a native of the city, then?
nyp.33433076054638	You are sure that practically everything of value has been taken? ”- “ Everything. ” Mrs. Atterbury spread out her hands in an eloquent gesture.
nyp.33433076054638	You did not find them difficult? ” “ No- o, ” Betty responded hesitatingly.
nyp.33433076054638	You gave me permission, Mrs. Atterbury. ” “ Who is the young man with whom you were talking? ” Betty's eyes opened widely.
nyp.33433076054638	You have examined the papers thor- oughly, Marcia?
nyp.33433076054638	You have friends there to whom I can write, if we come to an understanding?
nyp.33433076054638	You know that Larne murder out in Denver the other day? ” 242 SUSPENSE “ Of course.
nyp.33433076054638	You know the great man himself? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054638	You will find a tea dance in progress and presently a lady will join you at the table. ” “ A lady? ” Betty murmured.
nyp.33433076054638	You will remain for some little time in your present position?
nyp.33433076054638	You will report to me —? ” “ But not here! ” he expostulated.
nyp.33433076054638	Your home is not here? ” What did this continued catechism portend?
nyp.33433076054638	Your home is not here? ” What did this continued catechism portend?

nyp.33433076054638	“ A little?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Accident? ” The girl repeated.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Be p?
nyp.33433076054638	“ But is this your appointed work?
nyp.33433076054638	“ But the name —? ”| “ My half- brother, I should say.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Come where? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Dear, is it that?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Did you ever hear of a peppery old lady named Madame Dumois? ” “ Oh, yes! ” She dimpled, delightfully.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Do you know that a man was done to death be- neath that roof even while it sheltered you?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Do you know, while awaiting you I have come upon a real treasure here?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Do you mean that you were dragged into even this?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Do you think that I am imbecile enough to call your bluff? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Gon na bang it up a little? ” “ No, do n't overdo the wreckage.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Good God, where have you been? ” he de- manded, his voice grating harshly with anxiety.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Has he offended you in any way? ” “ By no means.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Have you any idea where this young woman may be found?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Have you finished? ” Mrs. Atterbury's calm tones cut the pregnant silence.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Have you news for me, Mr. Roe,? ” She re- garded him shrewdly as she extended her hand.
nyp.33433076054638	“ He did n't take that! ” UNMASKED 317 “ What does it matter? ” Dr. Bayard shrugged.
nyp.33433076054638	“ How about the piano? ” Mike's eyes travelled speculatively to the shadowed corner and Betty's senses reeled.
nyp.33433076054638	“ How're we going to make our get- away? ” he demanded gruffly.
nyp.33433076054638	“ I am a person of quick decisions, as you will discover, Betty — that is your name, is n't it?
nyp.33433076054638	“ I did not say that I had failed, Madame Dumois. ” “ You have — you have found her? ” The old lady gasped, and her sharp eyes blurred.
nyp.33433076054638	“ I disturb you, no? ” “ Not at all. ” Betty rose.
nyp.33433076054638	“ I must ask you to leave my table at once. ” “ What sort of a game are you trying to play? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054638	“ I sent him, I played fair, why would you not deal with him?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Last night's excitement has depressed you? ” “ On the contrary, ” she responded coolly.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Madame Dumois? ” he bowed low with conti- nental courtesy over her hand.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Misgiving of what?
nyp.33433076054638	“ My dear, I wonder if you will undertake an errand for me?
nyp.33433076054638	“ My place is here. ” “ Here?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Nothing can move you?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Now, if you will only find this perverse, incor- rigible, young woman for me — ”- “ What if I have? ” his eyes danced.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Oh, my dearest, you had such faith in me? ” “ As you trusted me, believed in me through everything.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Or are you going to try to wheedle some more information from me?
nyp.33433076054638	“ People are apt to lose their heads when some- one they love is in trouble, do n't you think? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054638	“ She has n't gotten into any trouble, Mr. Ross?
nyp.33433076054638	“ She is attractive, this new little one, eh? ” Madame Cimmino had halted in the doorway and there was a hard ring in her voice.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Since Robbie's wife was killed, and they took him away, it seems as if I'd lived in a nightmare. ” “ How did it all happen? ” asked Betty.
nyp.33433076054638	“ That is better, is n't it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054638	“ The lady did not appear? ” Betty shook her head.
nyp.33433076054638	“ The service commences at eleven, does it not? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054638	“ The young person you suspected, is she the original of the photograph I showed you? ” Ross shook his head.
nyp.33433076054638	“ The young woman upstairs? ” “ The young spy, d- n her! ” retorted Wolvert, his dark face ablaze.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Then you understand the rearrangement, classi- fication and listing of books?
nyp.33433076054638	“ There's nothing wrong with the Atterbury woman, and as for the girl — ” “ As for her, what? ” demanded his chief, as he paused.
nyp.33433076054638	“ This Miss Shaw to whom you just presented me — I trust that, er, she is not under your professional interest as a suspect?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Unless they are prisoners or witnesses, you mean?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Us? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Was — was the burglar caught? ” Betty stam-|UNMASKED 311 mered as she rose to obey.
nyp.33433076054638	“ What can it be? ” she voiced her query aloud as Mrs. Atterbury met her at the door of the sewing room.
nyp.33433076054638	“ What do you know about them? ” “ Nothing, except in a general way, ” he hedged lamely.
nyp.33433076054638	“ What do you mean by coming here?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What do you mean, Mr. Wolvert?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What has happened? ” Her tone was low but vibrating as if she spoke with bated breath.
nyp.33433076054638	“ What is it you desire within those walls that you court danger to obtain?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What is it? ” she asked calmly.
nyp.33433076054638	“ What is the good of all this bluff?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What is the matter?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What is to prevent them from going into voluntary bankruptcy, now that he is incapacitated?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What is wrong here?
nyp.33433076054638	“ What was that? ” “ The packet containing the Westcote documents, ” replied Mrs. Atterbury.
nyp.33433076054638	“ What's the good of playing a waiting game?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Where is the envelope?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Where the devil have you been? ” McCormick's tone was ominously calm.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Why did you not take me to her at once? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076054638	“ Why will you not be kind and talk to me?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Will you at least try to believe this?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Will you be satisfied always to stay in the background, to occupy the extra chair, to be commanded when you might command?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Wo n't you let me walk with you for a little way?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Wo n't you take this chair?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Yes, sir? ” “ Disappearance.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You are a most extraordinary young man! ” “ Should one permit the ugliness of life to blind one to the beauties of expression?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You are awake, Betty?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You are not well, my dear? ” “ Oh, it is n't that.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You are really a detective? ” Her eyes searched his face keenly, as he pulled out a chair for her.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You are tired?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You came alone?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You do n't beat it unless you take that with you! ” “ Oh, do n't I? ” snarled Mike, leaping to his feet in swift rage.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You do n't mean that Mrs. Atterbury is mixed up in that —? ” “ If I ’m not mistaken, she's the brains of the whole outfit.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You enjoyed your walk, my dear? ” The latter raised imperturbable eyes to greet the girl.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You had my note? ” Ross's tone was breathless, “ I thought that fellow was to be trusted!
nyp.33433076054638	“ You have determined like a sensible girl to over- come that absurd self- consciousness about your birthmark?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You have finished the letters?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You have found her? ” The aged voice quivered with the tension of her control, but there was no hint of a tenderer emotion.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You have no appointment? ” “ None.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You have studied under Professor Mallory? ” The question was casually uttered, yet it brought a swift blush to her brow.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You live here in the city? ” “ On the North Drive.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You mean — this?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You remember me, do n't you?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You remember the case J. Tod- hunter Crane put in my hands?
nyp.33433076054638	“ You slept well? ” “ Yes, thank you.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You teach? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You will be able to find her again? ” “ I firmly believe that I shall, but it may require some little time, ” he responded cautiously.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You — er, you have had an accident? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You — stay? ” The words were barely formed by the woman's shaking lips.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You ’re still there, in that house?
nyp.33433076054638	“ Your work is still new to you, but are you con- tent? ” He rose and strode around the chair to face her.
nyp.33433076054638	“ You’did not enter into conversation with him?
nyp.33433076054638	“ ‘ One exception ’? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076054638	“ ‘ Who are you?'
nyp.33433076024649	* “ I ’ll see you at once, Amarinth; will you go in, please? ” He waved toward the inner room and Guy obeyed the gesture without replying.
nyp.33433076024649	- “ Are you quite sure that you are not acting from hurt pride, Marie? ” Hugh asked gently, when they were alone.
nyp.33433076024649	- “ Why is n't it the right one? ” Guy demanded.
nyp.33433076024649	158 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ Have you located Mr. Andrus, whom you were paging? ” Gavock asked the hotel clerk.
nyp.33433076024649	72 An expectant hush fell on the room THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ Then you had n’t forgotten your promise? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024649	76 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ What ’s the matter?
nyp.33433076024649	83 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ Guy Amarinth has asked her to marry him. ” “ Amarinth! ” “ Does it surprise you?
nyp.33433076024649	9I THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ Whatever happens, you wo n't desert me, will you — whatever happens? ” “ Of course not!
nyp.33433076024649	All may quickly arrange itself by telephone. ” “ Why not let one of Lozier's men bring it? ” Hugh asked.
nyp.33433076024649	All these larger stones seem to be gen- uine. ” “ Emeralds and rubies? ” I34 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ Yes.
nyp.33433076024649	Am I right? ” A dull flush mounted in Amarinth's face, and he gave a short nod in sign of assent.
nyp.33433076024649	An accident, you say?
nyp.33433076024649	And I shall too, do you hear?
nyp.33433076024649	And what was everything?
nyp.33433076024649	And why under heaven should she lie about it?
nyp.33433076024649	And you are willing to believe that Marie was ever that woman?
nyp.33433076024649	Another with as much in her- self to give a man? ” “ No, and if Amarinth really cares for her — ” “ He ’ll be revolted.
nyp.33433076024649	Are you sure? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076024649	As you, how- ever, have entered such a claim I suppose I may infer that you are prepared to prove it? ” “ We are.
nyp.33433076024649	Ask Hugh. ” “ Hugh Senior'What can he tell me about you that you ca n't tell me yourself? ” “ Go to him to- morrow morning — ” “ No!
nyp.33433076024649	Besides, where is she now?
nyp.33433076024649	But what could I have been doing with that coat and necklace?
nyp.33433076024649	But what do you make of the facts? ” “ Make of them?
nyp.33433076024649	But what do you make of the facts? ” “ Make of them?
nyp.33433076024649	But what doubt is there? ” “ There is the girl herself, ” Hugh returned quietly.
nyp.33433076024649	But what were the facts?
nyp.33433076024649	But what would she have said to a girl one could not explain even to oneself?
nyp.33433076024649	But why speak of it to these people?
nyp.33433076024649	But why, by all that ’s damnable, did I tell him?
nyp.33433076024649	But — he knew me. ” “ What did he say? ” “ He did n't speak, just looked at me for a long time.
nyp.33433076024649	Can you not understand how deep a sense of responsibility I must feel for her future, her happiness? ” Hugh bent anxious eyes on Amarinth.
nyp.33433076024649	Could he be stopped by going to Washington?
nyp.33433076024649	Could n't you be mistaken about that?
nyp.33433076024649	Did n't you? ” “ Yes. ” Into Hugh's gaze a faint surprise had COITle.
nyp.33433076024649	Did she know anything?
nyp.33433076024649	Do n't look at me like that! ” “ Told me what? ” he repeated grimly.
nyp.33433076024649	Do n't you see that I'm only asking what any man has a right to know about his wife? ” She drew herself away from his embrace.
nyp.33433076024649	Do n't you see that no nice girl could take money?
nyp.33433076024649	Do n't you suppose I know that you worship the ground she walks on? ” His face reddened swiftly and he dropped his eyes to the fire.
nyp.33433076024649	Do n't you understand?
nyp.33433076024649	Do you know Paris well? ” “ Hardly at all. ” “ Then I wo n't bore you with street names.
nyp.33433076024649	Do you know another girl as charming, as lovable?
nyp.33433076024649	Do you know how it came into the possession of the de Ceux originally? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076024649	Do you know, I did n't eat a bite of breakfast?
nyp.33433076024649	Do you love me or do n't you? ” He spoke rapidly and with determination but his eyes watched her anxiously.
nyp.33433076024649	Do you love me?
nyp.33433076024649	Do you promise? ” She hesitated.
nyp.33433076024649	Do you remem- ber the exact date? ” “ If I remember?
nyp.33433076024649	Do you remem- ber the exact date? ” “ If I remember?
nyp.33433076024649	Do you think it will — do you? ” On the eager pleading the answer followed reluct- antly.
nyp.33433076024649	Do you wish me to make an examination? ” “ By all means.
nyp.33433076024649	Does she in- terest you? ” “ Immensely!
nyp.33433076024649	English, she knew well. ” “ Did she speak French? ” Guy questioned.
nyp.33433076024649	Even such a dub at French as I am can say: ‘ Q'a ne fait rien. ” It means: ‘ It ’s of no consequence, ” does n’t it? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076024649	Guy ’s coming then? ” Marie nodded.
nyp.33433076024649	Had I stolen them?
nyp.33433076024649	Had he not won a first at the Salon?
nyp.33433076024649	Have you forgotten that?
nyp.33433076024649	Have you put a price on it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076024649	He agreed and we left for France, taking with us the Cross of Kemesvar. ” “ The necklace, you mean? ” asked Guy.
nyp.33433076024649	He says that — ” “ Well? ” Guy prompted, as the jeweler paused.
nyp.33433076024649	Heavens, what have you come to New York for P ” “ Ca n't I stay? ” “ Oh, you can, but you wo n't.
nyp.33433076024649	His wife turned out to have been — well, that sort, you know. ” “ What sort?
nyp.33433076024649	How can I be the same?
nyp.33433076024649	How can I go to Paris alone?
nyp.33433076024649	How can I see things or people in the same way?
nyp.33433076024649	How can you know what she was or was not before you knew her? ” “ But the idea is monstrous, Amarinth!
nyp.33433076024649	How could he have credited so absurd a statement for a moment?
nyp.33433076024649	How could she?
nyp.33433076024649	How does that strike you? ” “ I ca n't think of anything better, ” she admitted.
nyp.33433076024649	How else will you explain? ” “ I ca n't explain, ” Hugh replied.
nyp.33433076024649	How long has it been since an examination of the skull was made? ” “ About six years. ” “ Indeed!
nyp.33433076024649	How now was she to convince him of his mistake?
nyp.33433076024649	How was that possible? ” “ Madame, listen!
nyp.33433076024649	How? ” “ I — I would rather not talk about it, ” Andrus an- swered, shuddering.
nyp.33433076024649	However, to- night he would have ample opportunity to watch her unseen — Unseen, yes; but would his presence be unknown to her?
nyp.33433076024649	I chanced to be in the hall when she went, sir. ” “ When Was it? ” “ About half an hour since, sir. ” “ Then she may have returned.
nyp.33433076024649	I could n't let her do that, could I?
nyp.33433076024649	I could n’t bear it. ” “ My dear child, what is the matter? ” “ I could n’t bear it if you thought me ungrate- ful.
nyp.33433076024649	I could play it in my grave. ” “ Who is this girl? ” Madame demanded.
nyp.33433076024649	I have n't any money and I ca n't walk there, can I? ” And overcome by a realization of her helplessness, she burst into tears.
nyp.33433076024649	I have, I hope, sufficient savoir faire not to betray myself even to her — to say nothing of her husband. ” “ But suppose you had to?
nyp.33433076024649	I mean before. ” “ We ’ve never met before. ” “ Will you swear that on your honor? ” “ Guy!
nyp.33433076024649	I must know who I am, who I have been, and what?
nyp.33433076024649	I must tell him. ”& c. Why?
nyp.33433076024649	I shall! ” “ What are you going to do?
nyp.33433076024649	I think she's studied dancing before — so does Madame Adrienne. ” “ What of Madame Adrienne? ” a sharp nasal voice inquired in the doorway.
nyp.33433076024649	I want to know how it strikes you. ” “ As a lawyer? ” “ Oh, no — as a person of intelligence, ” Gavock laughed.
nyp.33433076024649	I withdrew it. ” “ You? ” “ Did you think they ’d ordered it out?
nyp.33433076024649	I withdrew it. ” “ You? ” “ Did you think they ’d ordered it out?
nyp.33433076024649	I wonder if you under- stand? ” There was a short silence.
nyp.33433076024649	I ’m all right — going to the hospital as soon as I arrange things. ” “ Where will you go? ” “ Do n’t ask me, Mr. Gavock.
nyp.33433076024649	If I do bring it your trou- bles will be over, wo n't they? ” “ Yes, oh, yes! ” “ If I do not bring it, this is my scheme.
nyp.33433076024649	If her people cared so little about her that they made no attempt to find her why should I hunt them? ” Amarinth leaned forward.
nyp.33433076024649	If she should tell, would not Hugh Senior, like Gavock, lie to protect her?
nyp.33433076024649	If you ever come to the time when you miss him too much — need him, I mean — will you come to me?
nyp.33433076024649	In some such costume she had danced the second time he had seen her, and was it not very like the gown Miss Dupont had worn?
nyp.33433076024649	In the purse is money enough for everything. ”- “ But what does it mean, Alix?
nyp.33433076024649	Io9 “ Will you give me ten thousand dollars for it? ” she faltered 149 At the second step he recoiled violently.
nyp.33433076024649	Is it not so? ” Louis shrugged his heavy shoulders.
nyp.33433076024649	Is it not so? ” Madame Adrienne nodded.
nyp.33433076024649	Is it possible that your people had no idea of its value all these years? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076024649	Is it yours? ” “ It ’s been in our family for years and years.
nyp.33433076024649	Is n't my word enough?
nyp.33433076024649	Is n’t it enough? ” “ It was n't enough for the jury.
nyp.33433076024649	Is she dead? ” “ My dear boy! ” “ You ca n't blame me for doubting you, can you? ” Guy protested.
nyp.33433076024649	Is she dead? ” “ My dear boy! ” “ You ca n't blame me for doubting you, can you? ” Guy protested.
nyp.33433076024649	Is she fair or dark? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024649	Is she on the train? ” he substituted for the words he had meant to speak.
nyp.33433076024649	Is that not so?'
nyp.33433076024649	Is that true?
nyp.33433076024649	Is that true? ” “ Yes, yes, it's true.
nyp.33433076024649	It ’s a kind of bug, is n’t it, or a lizard that fire wo n't burn?
nyp.33433076024649	It ’s just that he ’s always working. ” “ To- night too? ” “ Oh, no.
nyp.33433076024649	Life gives us few such piquant moments. ” “ What?
nyp.33433076024649	Man, how did it happen?
nyp.33433076024649	Miss Dupont is not an American. ” “ Dupont?
nyp.33433076024649	Money?
nyp.33433076024649	Most of the fine old pieces like this have been described and their histories recorded. ” “ When will he return? ” Guy asked.
nyp.33433076024649	Neither does — either of them. ” “ What exactly did Hugh say? ” Marie repeated the conversation.
nyp.33433076024649	No matter what happens, you wo n't ever think that?
nyp.33433076024649	No. ” “ Why not? ” “ My dear fellow, what for?
nyp.33433076024649	No. ” “ Why not? ” “ My dear fellow, what for?
nyp.33433076024649	Not the Ceux of Tourraine? ”& 4 Yes. ” “ Indeed!
nyp.33433076024649	Now there ’s no time, you must hurry. ” “ But why do n't you go yourself?
nyp.33433076024649	Now, do you know, that is very interest- ing?
nyp.33433076024649	Or was it only the mean tenacity of purpose that in Mrs. Amarinth had spent itself wholly on selfish ends?
nyp.33433076024649	Paris is full of imitation jewelry — very clever some of it is too. ” “ You never asked her about it, you say? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076024649	Perhaps we shall find some one that you will remember. ” “ What's the use? ” she asked listlessly.
nyp.33433076024649	Please go away. ” “ Wo n't you explain — ” “ What does it matter to you as long as you're free?
nyp.33433076024649	Seems to remember how he felt when he was young. ” “ Why should n’t he?
nyp.33433076024649	Seventeen, perhaps. ” “ Will you describe her? ” “ Certainly, ” said the Rumanian with a stare of sur- prise.
nyp.33433076024649	She called herself Italian. ” “ Was Alix Floria her real name? ” Szemere shrugged.
nyp.33433076024649	She has no hus- band. ” “ How do you know that? ” Guy asked, taken rather aback.
nyp.33433076024649	She loved him. ” “ What was his name?
nyp.33433076024649	She was beautiful, slender — thin, indeed, I thought her, but of a wondrous grace. ” “ What nationality? ” “ That I do not know.
nyp.33433076024649	She ’s probably with Mrs. Thorley. ” “ I ’ve just inquired; she ’s not in the house, sir. ” “ She left no message? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076024649	She's a Salamander. ” “ A what? ” “ A Salamander.
nyp.33433076024649	She's pretty and graceful; why attempt the impossible? ” “ Because she thinks it makes her more interesting and to be interesting is her métier.
nyp.33433076024649	Since Lascar was to travel, why not to Paris with the jewels?
nyp.33433076024649	Strength of will was evident in the handsome face; but was it the fearless, generous strength of the father that could curb itself in renunciation?
nyp.33433076024649	Tall or — as high as your heart ’? ” Guy laughed again.
nyp.33433076024649	Tell me, do you think that was the work of a novice? ” Gavock looked at her.
nyp.33433076024649	That is true, is n’t it? ” “ Yes, virtually, ” he answered.
nyp.33433076024649	That our Queen, Carmen Sylva, writes verses? ” His shoulders lifted slightly.
nyp.33433076024649	That's your understanding, is n’t it, Consul? ” The Consul assented.
nyp.33433076024649	The cross — where is that?
nyp.33433076024649	The lady is still* Miss. ’ ” “ Miss What? ” “ That's my secret.
nyp.33433076024649	The next day I — what do you suppose I did? ” She looked up wonderingly.
nyp.33433076024649	The reflection caused him to return dryly: “ A nice girl runs no risk either way, does she? ” He regretted the words the instant they were spoken.
nyp.33433076024649	The theory — yes? ” Szemere glanced at Hugh, who had leaned forward as if to speak.
nyp.33433076024649	Then he read: May I see you for a few minutes?
nyp.33433076024649	This is the last of the jewels. ” “ It is very handsome. ” “ Oh, they were a very rich and distinguished family — the de Ceux. ” “ Ceux?
nyp.33433076024649	Thorley?
nyp.33433076024649	To get back the neck- lace that is all. ” “ Then may I ask a few questions? ” “ Whatever you like. ” “ Thank you.
nyp.33433076024649	WELLP Did he speak? ” “ The Cross of Kemesvar will buy many brush hands, ” Louis returned calmly.
nyp.33433076024649	Was I running away? ” The questions were not addressed to Hugh, but to herself, and after them she paused as if for an- swers.
nyp.33433076024649	Was it 35 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT not better that they should meet while she felt herself secure?
nyp.33433076024649	Was it a plea for silence — that lame attempt to ex- plain her extraordinary expertness?
nyp.33433076024649	Was it possible that he had been mistaken about that French phrase?
nyp.33433076024649	Was that a chance resemblance also?
nyp.33433076024649	We can take the necklace or leave it, as you prefer. ” “ Which do you prefer? ” “ I think Mr. Lozier's vault is the best place for it.

nyp.33433076024649	What but shame and misery could the resurrection of an ignoble past bring to her?
nyp.33433076024649	What can I do? ” Gavock was troubled.
nyp.33433076024649	What can he feel of the struggles of the poor and helpless?
nyp.33433076024649	What could Lozier want with him?
nyp.33433076024649	What could that be?
nyp.33433076024649	What could they have done but pity me?

nyp.33433076024649	What do they know of us?
nyp.33433076024649	What do they understand?
nyp.33433076024649	What do you hear? ” he asked, jerking his head toward the windows.
nyp.33433076024649	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076024649	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076024649	What do you mean? ” “ I mean that she danced too well.

nyp.33433076024649	What had she meant?
nyp.33433076024649	What happened? ” he asked Miss Lowther.
nyp.33433076024649	What have you been do- ing all these years?
nyp.33433076024649	What honor was in the symbol, he said, when honor itself was dead? ” Again hatred and anger gleamed from Szemere's eyes.
nyp.33433076024649	What is it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076024649	What matter if the faces in repose were plain since they so rarely knew repose?
nyp.33433076024649	What more likely than that Guy should speak to her of him?
nyp.33433076024649	What must she have thought or felt? ” “ I did look at her and she would n't meet my eyes.

nyp.33433076024649	What was it she had said?
nyp.33433076024649	What was the matter?
nyp.33433076024649	What will you do?
nyp.33433076024649	What would be the quickest, wisest course to follow to that end?
nyp.33433076024649	What?
nyp.33433076024649	When the sense of Miss Lowther's question reached him he parried deftly, by asking: “ Do you? ” She smiled back narrowly.
nyp.33433076024649	When?
nyp.33433076024649	Where had he been all these years?

nyp.33433076024649	Who claims it? ” Amarinth gasped.
nyp.33433076024649	Who has seen it? ” Hurriedly Guy reported his telephone conversation with Lozier.
nyp.33433076024649	Who is she and what under heaven does she imagine she has to fear from me? ” “ Fear! ” “ Is n’t fear usually back of a lie?

nyp.33433076024649	Who would n’t? ” “ Well, I should think it might be deuced unpleas- ant, ” Guy answered.
nyp.33433076024649	Who — but the lady? ” Hugh gave back the narrowed glance without flinch- ing.
nyp.33433076024649	Who? ” “ Mr.

nyp.33433076024649	Why did n't you let them know — let them help you? ” “ Help me?
nyp.33433076024649	Why did she go away if not to avoid Sze- mere? ” “ Perhaps to avoid you. ”& 4 Me?
nyp.33433076024649	Why did she go away if not to avoid Sze- mere? ” “ Perhaps to avoid you. ”& 4 Me?
nyp.33433076024649	Why had she been so pathetically eager to convince him of her gratitude?
nyp.33433076024649	Why had the girl done such a thing?
nyp.33433076024649	Why had they not thought of that?
nyp.33433076024649	Why must I do this? ” “ When you return I'll explain.
nyp.33433076024649	Why not go to Paris as her mother had planned?
nyp.33433076024649	Why not go to Szemere with it?
nyp.33433076024649	Why should I de- ceive you? ” “ But the music — you followed always.
nyp.33433076024649	Why should I swear?
nyp.33433076024649	Why should we take Szemere's word alone?
nyp.33433076024649	Why under the sun should she lie about a thing like that? ” “ Well, I can think of one reason — and only one. ” There was a pause.
nyp.33433076024649	Why will you keep saying that?
nyp.33433076024649	Why, the best thing life can give a woman was at my elbow and I did n't even see it. ” “ Are you sure — are you sure? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076024649	Will you give us some tea?
nyp.33433076024649	Will you go for the doc- tor? ”- “ Of course. ” He caught up a coat from a chair and put it on and reached for a hat that lay on the table.
nyp.33433076024649	Will you mind so very much if it does? ” “ I shall mind terribly — terribly l ’ ” The car slid smoothly round a corner and stopped.
nyp.33433076024649	Will you obey me — as you promised? ” “ I will do anything you say. ” “ Then you are to tell no one of our marriage, not even Mrs. Thorley.
nyp.33433076024649	Will you take me to a doctor to- morrow? ” She had flung out her hands pleadingly.
nyp.33433076024649	Wonder gave way to something else — was it eagerness or fear?
nyp.33433076024649	Would Marie keep her promise and conceal the fact of their marriage?
nyp.33433076024649	Would anything you could learn now alter it?
nyp.33433076024649	Would it not, after all, be wiser to avoid a meeting in Amarinth's presence?
nyp.33433076024649	Would n’t that be better? ”- Alix shook her head impatiently.
nyp.33433076024649	Would pity have helped that? ” He thrust his maimed arm out and Gavock was si- lenced.
nyp.33433076024649	You are ready? ” Madame's glance included the few girls who still remained in the TOO111.
nyp.33433076024649	You do believe it, do n't you? ” “ Of course. ” “ That's all then.
nyp.33433076024649	You do n't know its history? ”& 4 No. ” Once more Amarinth was conscious of a surprised curiosity in the keen look that covered him an instant.

nyp.33433076024649	You will help me, wo n't you? ” “ Of course, but — ” “ Take me to a doctor.
nyp.33433076024649	You will see! ” “ Madame Adrienne, how do you like my gown? ” It was Sybil Lowther who next arrested Madame's departure from the room.
nyp.33433076024649	Your attitude toward her has al- ways been so paternal. ”- “ My dear aunt, can I never make you understand how I feel about Marie?
nyp.33433076024649	can one have such terrible possibilities in oneself and never even guess it?
nyp.33433076024649	‘ He ’s dying, he's dying, ” she kept telling me, over and over. ” “ Did n’t she tell you his name? ” “ Not then.
nyp.33433076024649	‘ Pavlowa Gavotte, is it?
nyp.33433076024649	‘ To Russia? ’ he said.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Ah, then you were testing me? ” She had a smile for his bantering tone, but it waned quickly and she nodded with grave eyes.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Amarinth — is that true? ” Guy took the marriage certificate from his pocket and without a word handed it to Hugh.
nyp.33433076024649	“ And I have your word of honor as to your silence in the event of your withdrawal? ” “ Certainly. ” “ Thank you.
nyp.33433076024649	“ And it is n’t gratitude? ” “ Gratitude! ” She lifted her eyes bravely to his that he might see her heart in them.
nyp.33433076024649	“ And no one knew?
nyp.33433076024649	“ And you did n’t really know her, did you? ” “ I saw her several times and this girl was about the age she would have been.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Any answer, Doctor? ” came presently in Miss Birkett's professional voice.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Are you sure of that? ” he asked, interrupting.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Ask Stephanie! ” “ But, Marie, where did you ever get the idea? ” Beth Tate demanded.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Aunt Alicia, will it make a difference to him?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Blonde or brunette? ” Guy Amarinth asked, with a grin.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Blonde or brunette? ” laughed Guy.
nyp.33433076024649	“ But if she spoke no French, what sort of work could she have done in Paris? ” Hugh said he did not know.
nyp.33433076024649	“ But now for your question: ‘ Blonde or bru- nette? ’ ” said Gavock, reverting to the light, genial tone which was habitual with him.
nyp.33433076024649	“ But what do you do?
nyp.33433076024649	“ But why should n't she have wanted you to recognize her? ”.
nyp.33433076024649	“ But you do n't intend to give him the pendant your- self?
nyp.33433076024649	“ By the way, did your expert look the necklace over? ” asked Hugh.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Could it have hap- pened in the accident, do you think? ” “ Hardly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Did I kill him? ” 66 No. ” Her head dropped to her hands and she sat shudder- ing.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Did you know him? ” he asked, his voice strained.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Did you like my dancing? ” “ I was charmed. ” “ Oh, I'm so glad! ” she exclaimed fervently.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do n't you like it? ” he heard her say.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do n’t you dance, Mr. Gavock? ” Miss Lowther asked as she settled herself and arranged her flowers effectively.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do n’t you see that I ca n't?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do n’t you see that I was like a child who looks at things without understanding them?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do you care so much for him? ” he cried out in jealous misery.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do you like her danc- ing? ” “ It ’s very good, is n’t it? ” Gavock replied.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do you like her danc- ing? ” “ It ’s very good, is n’t it? ” Gavock replied.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Do you really love me? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Does Miss Dupont care for Paris? ” he asked abruptly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Evidently. ” “ And to- night — your word of honor, is it, that you have not rehearsed together?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Gavock? ” She seemed to test the sound for a familiar ring.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Has Miss Niklova not yet arrived? ” “ I think not, Madame, ” Beth Tate answered.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Have I not said it ever?
nyp.33433076024649	“ How am I to deal with that gentleman to- mor- 242 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT row? ” he considered.
nyp.33433076024649	“ How could I forget it when it was 6o THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT the one bit of hope you ’ve ever given me?
nyp.33433076024649	“ How much can you afford to pay? ” “ Oh, come now! ” he objected gaily.
nyp.33433076024649	“ How old are you, Guy? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ How will he take it? ” Hugh Senior wondered.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I asked first. ” “ What do you call the dance? ” “ The program calls it ‘ Fantaisie de la Russie. ” Madame Adrienne arranged it.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I beg your pardon? ” she said, inquiringly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I knew her in Paris — years ago. ” “ A dancer — for the public? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I mean that our marriage last night was not legal. ” “ Not legal? ” “ I was already married.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I ran — I feared to delay you. ” “ Are we going to begin now that Miss Niklova has come? ” Miss Lowther asked, pausing at the door.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I say, is n’t it possible that she is a married woman with a past — a past that you know about?
nyp.33433076024649	“ I want to be the greatest dancer in the world! ” “ Well, well, that ’s rather a large order, is n’t it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ I wonder if you do n't know more about me than you have ever told me? ” she said suddenly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ If she was afraid of meeting him why did she come down?
nyp.33433076024649	“ If there is anything I can do, you will call me? ” he asked, rejoining her in the hall.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Is it agreed? ” “ We can promise you nothing, Count Szemere, ” I79 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT Hugh interposed.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Is it ever with a dancer?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Is it? ” She seemed to consider.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Is one of you ever fair to a woman? ”- He did not answer.
nyp.33433076024649	“ It was the twenty- third. ” 187 THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT “ And this dancer — how old was she? ” “ Very young.
nyp.33433076024649	“ It ’s not yours, you say? ” “ Surely you suspected that!
nyp.33433076024649	“ Just keep still for a few days, will you? ” he said to the driver, passing him a bill.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Just what do you mean by that? ” “ I saw the body. ” 171 CHAPTER XIV UY AMARINTH looked at his watch again.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Just what has Marie told you about herself? ” “ Nothing. ” Amarinth had taken the seat to which a handwave had invited him.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Mademoiselle, who are you? ” he asked abruptly, and at the question she gave a gasp of relief.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Met before? ” Gavock, taken aback, sparred for time.
nyp.33433076024649	“ My dear boy, why under the sun did n’t you tell me that before?
nyp.33433076024649	“ My dear little one, what then shall we do in Paris? ” “ I shall dance! ” answered Alix.
nyp.33433076024649	“ No?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Now tell me, do you dance? ” “ I decline to answer by advice of counsel. ” “ You do n't!
nyp.33433076024649	“ Oh — I see! ” “ What does he see, I wonder? ” thought Gavock as the gate clanged shut and he was left alone.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Oh, Hugh, ” she exclaimed with a touch of im- patience, “ why have you let it come to this? ” He stared, not understanding.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Oh, do n't give me those — not your mother's. ” “ Why not? ” He stared, taken aback by her man- Iner.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Oh, so there's no doubt about her being dead? ” “ Of course not. ” “ Who was she any way? ” Guy asked, feigning cas- ual curiosity.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Oh, so there's no doubt about her being dead? ” “ Of course not. ” “ Who was she any way? ” Guy asked, feigning cas- ual curiosity.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Oh, then I am to un- derstand that it was not a woman — this time? ” “ On the contrary, it was a woman — this time, ” Gavock retorted.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Perhaps, like Szemere, you think I warned her of his coming? ” “ No, I think you ’ve been square with me.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Poor child. ” “ Talk?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Shall we tell everybody? ” “ Oh, no, not to- night!
nyp.33433076024649	“ She could n’t have been more than seventeen, and that was hardly seven years ago — just seven in April. ” “ Well, what of it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ She has something to tell you. ” “ Something to tell me? ” he echoed in sharp in- quiry.
nyp.33433076024649	“ That's 4I THE CURIOUS CASE OF MARIE DUPONT what Tommy Nave calls them — do n't you love it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ That's woman's eternal struggle, is n't it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ The brother is better then?
nyp.33433076024649	“ The coat?
nyp.33433076024649	“ The struggle between art and — love? ” She waited a moment as though to let that sink in and perhaps, as he thought, to see what he would say.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Then I ca n't get it to- night? ” “ I ’m afraid not. ” “ But I must have it!
nyp.33433076024649	“ Then you thought he would n't? ” “ Yes, I did, frankly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Then you ’ve told me everything you know? ” “ Everything. ” “ Where do you think she was going at that hour? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Then you ’ve told me everything you know? ” “ Everything. ” “ Where do you think she was going at that hour? ” “ I do n't know.

nyp.33433076024649	“ Think of it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Told me what? ” he asked in a hard voice.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Wait where? ” Inquiries ensued, but no one appeared to recall any- thing more definite.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Was I a brute to make you see it through?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Well, my child, and what do you say now of this Miss Dupont? ” Irma's thin shoulders rose and fell in a weary shrug.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Well? ” he managed to repeat.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Well? ” she said.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What a mercenary young person! ” “ Am I? ” She turned her eyes away and her mouth hardened.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What am I to do unless you get it for me?
nyp.33433076024649	“ What are your orders? ” he asked huskily.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What became of her? ” “ Her?
nyp.33433076024649	“ What became of her? ” “ Her?
nyp.33433076024649	“ What did you do? ” she asked at last.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you call that stunt? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you know about stones? ” Hugh asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you know of my country, of Rumania?
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you mean to do? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you mean? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you think of Miss Dupont's? ” “ Ah! ” Madame's sallow face lighted swiftly, then instantly she veiled her bead- like eyes.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What do you think of it? ” she asked eagerly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What does she mean?
nyp.33433076024649	“ What else did she tell you? ” “ I hardly know — she was so excited, so miserable.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What had happened? ” Hugh prompted.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What is her name? ” “ She has none — she is dead. ” “ Dead ” He shuddered.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What is it? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What is it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What is the price? ” “ Three hundred will see me through — or out. ” “ It ’s worth far more, ” Gavock said.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What shall we do if she does n't come? ” Miss Lowther asked, alarm in her voice.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What was it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ What was left for me — a painter who could not paint? ” “ God! ” Gavock repeated, the horror of the loss appalling him.
nyp.33433076024649	“ What ’s the matter? ” she faltered.
nyp.33433076024649	“ When did this come? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ When she does — what then? ”- Amarinth looked away and stirred in his chair but said nothing.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Where are these men? ” “ In my office. ” “ And the necklace? ” “ In a case at the back of the store under constant watch.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Where are these men? ” “ In my office. ” “ And the necklace? ” “ In a case at the back of the store under constant watch.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Where is she now? ” he asked gruffly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Where will you take it? ” “ I thought of Rice and Lozier's — I know them there. ” “ Good.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Where's the doctor? ” he demanded, staring about the circle of curious faces.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Which of you gentlemen claims to be the owner of the necklace? ” the consul asked, the instant for- malities were over.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Which station do you leave from? ” “ Pennsylvania, at ten- fifteen. ” “ Good!
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who cares for him to- night? ” The pale cheeks of the girl flushed quickly.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who is he? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who is he?'
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who is it? ” A pause.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who is the man? ” “ He refuses to give his name.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who is this Mr. Gavock? ” Marie asked, looking after him.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Who taught you that dance, Marie? ” “ Why, Madame Adrienne, of course. ” Mrs. Thorley hesitated.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why do you look at me like that? ” “ Why do you look at me like that? ” he returned.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why do you look at me like that? ” “ Why do you look at me like that? ” he returned.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why in h could n't you say so before? ” de- manded the theatrical man.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why not tell him the truth?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why — why — what ’s the matter? ” he stam- mered, like a man rudely awakened from deep sleep.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why, suppose she were the wife of some one you knew? ” “ What of it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why, suppose she were the wife of some one you knew? ” “ What of it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Why? ” he ques- tioned sharply.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Will I make the tea, sir? ” Hugh looked up with a slight start.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Will he lie to me? ” Amarinth asked himself.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Will you look them over? ” He jerked his shaking hand to his side.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Will you really sell it?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Will you wait for me here?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Within an hour, certainly. ” “ Is Mr. Lozier here?
nyp.33433076024649	“ Would you buy it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Would you give me ten thousand dollars for it? ” He stared in blank incredulity.
nyp.33433076024649	“ Would you like me to take it for you? ” She seemed to consider this.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You do n't mean to tell him then? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You know her? ” he asked, seeing that Amarinth was also bowing.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You know those queer, half- moon streets that be- gin and end on acute angles in the oldest sections of Paris?
nyp.33433076024649	“ You mean to tell him? ” He was silent.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You promise? ” She nodded with a smile so warm and tender that it almost beautified her.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You return to Washington to- morrow? ” he asked, rising to end the conversation.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You wo n't mind, I ’m sure, if I call you by your given name? ” “ I wish you would, sir, ” Guy replied.
nyp.33433076024649	“ You wo n't think I'm ungrateful, will you?
nyp.33433076024649	“ You ’ve brought a picture from Mr. Andrus, I believe? ” said Gavock, turning back from closing the door and looking at his visitor.
nyp.33433076024649	“ ‘ Who are you? ’ she asked, after a long, silent scrutiny. ” “ In English! ” Guy exclaimed.
nyp.33433076041569	* W O N T Y O U W A L K IN?
nyp.33433076041569	- “ And you do n't pretend you'd've faced such a prospect in order to clear me? ” Again she had no answer for him.
nyp.33433076041569	- “ Do I get another dance? ” he asked suddenly.
nyp.33433076041569	- “ You say you have proofs of this – ah — asser- tion of yours? ” demanded the captain at length.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ And nobody has claimed it? ” “ No, but.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ As late as that? ” The girl moved as if to rise.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ Beg pardon; I do n't wish to seem impertinent; but may I ask, do you know the lady very well? ” Staff's eyes clouded.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ Nobody but the boss. ” “ Does he often —? ” “ That's as may be and the fit ’s on him.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ Then I want my hat. ” “ But — hold on — give somebody a chance — ” “ Stupid? ” she laughed.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ We were wondering if you'd seen anything of Mr. Iff this morning? ” “ No — nothing.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ What, my dear? ” asked Alison, smiling back to his unsmiling stare.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ Why not? ” “ It ’s none of my affair — ” “ But surely you must see.
nyp.33433076041569	. ” “ Yessir? ” “ I ’ll just telephone.
nyp.33433076041569	116 T H E B A N D B O X “ You wanted to know –? ” she enquired, with a laugh back of her tone.
nyp.33433076041569	152 T H E B A N D B O X “ What does this mean? ” she demanded, as if ready to hold him to account.
nyp.33433076041569	154 T H E B A N D B O X “ Not even Max, this morning, before he offered that reward? ” he asked shrewdly.
nyp.33433076041569	2 ” “ You ’d think so, would n’t you? ” Staff regarded the bandbox with open malevolence.
nyp.33433076041569	220 THE BAN D Box you want and go?
nyp.33433076041569	294 T H E B A N D B O X “ Well? ” he asked civilly, wondering what on earth she had found to fly into such a beastly rage about.
nyp.33433076041569	34 T H E B A N D B O X “ What's up? ” asked Iff.
nyp.33433076041569	43 V ISMAY?
nyp.33433076041569	92 T H E B A N D B O X “ Well, then, sir?
nyp.33433076041569	A Miss Earle, I think you said? ” “ No — Searle.
nyp.33433076041569	A little louder please, Miss Searle. ” “ The St. Regis. ” “ Where? ” he repeated in surprise.
nyp.33433076041569	Am I nobody? ” “ Wait half a minute.
nyp.33433076041569	Am I right, Mr. Manvers? ” “ Yes, ” said Manvers sullenly.
nyp.33433076041569	And I may call for it? ” 198 T H E B A N D B O X “ If you please — today at noon.
nyp.33433076041569	And how do you know I ca n't? ” barked the little man.
nyp.33433076041569	And what did she know about his love for Alison Landis?
nyp.33433076041569	Beard and glasses — what? ” “ I believe you're right! ” Staff rose excitedly.
nyp.33433076041569	Because — now pay strict attention — because we ’re near- twins. ” “ Who are twins? ” demanded Staff staring.
nyp.33433076041569	Besides, how in the name of all things inexplicable had anybody found out his intention of sailing on the Autocratic, that particular day?
nyp.33433076041569	But do you realise that you came near causing an innocent man to be jailed for the theft? ” “ But I did n’t.
nyp.33433076041569	But which way?
nyp.33433076041569	But would n’t you want me to come to see you once in a while? ” He jerked up one hand with the gesture of a man touched in a fencing- bout.
nyp.33433076041569	But, if you doubt my motive in advising you to go W O N T Y O U W A L K IN?
nyp.33433076041569	But, if you promise to be nice to me all the way home —? ” She paused.
nyp.33433076041569	By the way, ” he added anxiously, “ do or are you? ” “ Never — ” “ Then we'll get along famously.
nyp.33433076041569	Ca n't you wait till tomorrow?
nyp.33433076041569	Can you see anybody, however expert, picking a lock with a bunch of skeleton- keys in that exposed position without being caught red- handed?
nyp.33433076041569	Did you examine the box yourself?
nyp.33433076041569	Do n't you ever read modern fiction?
nyp.33433076041569	Do n't you find it romantic, dear boy?
nyp.33433076041569	Do you mean me? ” “ Most certainly I mean you.
nyp.33433076041569	Do you? ” “ No — ” “ Spelvin does n’t, and we have n't got any time to waste trying to find out.
nyp.33433076041569	Does he know where you are? ” “ No — I forgot to tell him. ” “ That's good.
nyp.33433076041569	Eph?
nyp.33433076041569	Evening clothes?
nyp.33433076041569	For one, I'm wet and cold and look like a drowned rat; I ca n't offer myself to a hotel looking like this — can I?
nyp.33433076041569	For that matter, what right had Alison to accept him in such a capacity?
nyp.33433076041569	Friend with you? ” “ No; but I had some notion of doing a little work on the way over. ” “ Writing?
nyp.33433076041569	Friend with you? ” “ No; but I had some notion of doing a little work on the way over. ” “ Writing?
nyp.33433076041569	From whom could this woman possibly have learned so much that was intimate to himself?
nyp.33433076041569	Got anything to drink?
nyp.33433076041569	Had he napped – slept?
nyp.33433076041569	Have you made your table res- ervation yet? ” “ Yes, ” he said hastily.
nyp.33433076041569	Have you no heart, man? ” Staff began to stride distractedly up and down the room.
nyp.33433076041569	Have you paused to consider what would have happened to me if the inspector had happened to find that necklace in the hat?
nyp.33433076041569	He struggled to think: what did he possess worth stealing?
nyp.33433076041569	Him?
nyp.33433076041569	How about the fourth act? ” “ I mean to write it en voyage, ” said he, perplexed.
nyp.33433076041569	How are you? ” “ Get rid of him as quick ’s you can, ” Iff continued, “ and join me here at the Park Avenue.
nyp.33433076041569	How had she come by so much personal knowledge of himself and his work?
nyp.33433076041569	How long?
nyp.33433076041569	How- d'-you- do? ” Staff offered his hand.
nyp.33433076041569	I do n't want and sha n’t touch, it on any conditions. ” “ You mean I ’m free to return it to Miss Landis? ” she gasped, incredulous.
nyp.33433076041569	I got you to bring it to my room, and then sent you out — you remember?
nyp.33433076041569	I mean, did you leave it all to the housemaid — what's her name — Milly? ” He nodded: “ Yes. ” “ Then she may have overlooked something.
nyp.33433076041569	I sha n’t be ten minutes. ” “ Will I? ” he laughed.
nyp.33433076041569	I — ” “ But where is Miss Searle? ” demanded Alison, with a significant look to Staff.
nyp.33433076041569	I ’ve no right to spoil a good joke. ” “ Then you think it ’s a joke? ” he enquired gloomily.
nyp.33433076041569	I'll just take a look, after we ’ve run through this play. ” “ Why wait?
nyp.33433076041569	If I ’m not mistaken, you crossed with us this spring? ” “ Oh, yes; I did.
nyp.33433076041569	Is it a go? ” “ But — I do n't know you — ” “ Business of making a noise like an Englishman! ” commented Mr. Iff with bitter scorn.
nyp.33433076041569	Is n’t it delightful? ” “ But you're here, on this side —? ” “ Oh, just a flying trip.
nyp.33433076041569	Is n’t it delightful? ” “ But you're here, on this side —? ” “ Oh, just a flying trip.
nyp.33433076041569	Is this sufficient warning to you to keep out of this game?
nyp.33433076041569	Ismay still there? ” “ Yes, ” said Staff instantly: “ it ’s I, Harry.
nyp.33433076041569	It makes it very serious for you – the W O N'T Y O U W A L K IN?
nyp.33433076041569	It may gain us a few hours. ” “ What am I to say? ” She lifted her hand to the receiver.
nyp.33433076041569	Just come aboard? ” Arkroyd, on the point of entering his stateroom, paused long enough to confirm this surmise.
nyp.33433076041569	Man about my size, was n’t he?
nyp.33433076041569	May I look now? ” Iff poked his head over the edge of the upper berth and beamed down upon Staff like a benevolent, blond magpie.
nyp.33433076041569	Me?
nyp.33433076041569	Meanwhile — this Miss Searle — where's she stopping? ” “ I ca n’t tell you — some hotel.
nyp.33433076041569	Miss Searle knows, but — ” “ What's that? ” demanded Alison quickly.
nyp.33433076041569	Must he be untrue to the fundamentals of drama- turgic art in order to earn her tolerance?
nyp.33433076041569	No, of course not. ” “ Nor to bicker about it? ” She laughed a denial.
nyp.33433076041569	Now what d'you say?
nyp.33433076041569	One thing still bothers me: how did you find out I knew about the smuggling game? ” Iff nodded toward the bedroom.
nyp.33433076041569	Or are n't you in a romantic mood tonight?
nyp.33433076041569	Or is that an impertinent question? ” With- out pause the girl answered herself: “ Of course it is; only I could n’t help asking.
nyp.33433076041569	Perhaps Robinson?
nyp.33433076041569	Planks rang hollowly beneath her feet, and the hand on her arm detained W O N'T Y O U W A L K IN?
nyp.33433076041569	Practical philanthropy — what?
nyp.33433076041569	Should all this then, be garbled and distorted to satisfy a woman's passion for the centre of the stage?
nyp.33433076041569	Since I ca n't get my advertising and have my necklace, too, why, in goodness ’ name, may n't I get what I can out of it? ” “ Oh, well.
nyp.33433076041569	Staff heard himself saying “ Beg pardon? ” to a third repetition of one of Mrs. Thataker's gratuitous revelations.
nyp.33433076041569	Staff? ” It seemed to him that he could detect a tremor in her accents, as if she were both weary and frightened.
nyp.33433076041569	Such a singular thing has happened — ” Alison interrupted bluntly: “ Where's Miss Searle?
nyp.33433076041569	T H E W R O N G B O X 149 “ You remember that, do n't you? ” “ Perhaps I do, ” she admitted unwillingly.
nyp.33433076041569	T WINS 27 Who was there in London just then that knew him well enough so to presume upon his good nature?
nyp.33433076041569	That's right, is n’t it? ” “ Yes, sir, ” said Jane.
nyp.33433076041569	That, ” said Iff pensively, “ was when I was in the Pinkerton service. ” “ Ah, it was? ” said the captain with much irony.
nyp.33433076041569	The bar's been closed an hour and more. ” “ Is that why you came to bed? ” enquired Staff.
nyp.33433076041569	The only other accommodation I can offer you is a two- berth stateroom on the main- deck. ” “ An outside room? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076041569	Then what?
nyp.33433076041569	Then you know who sent it to me? ” QUEEN STOWN 49 “ Of course. ” Her expression grew curious.
nyp.33433076041569	Unhappily for both of us, you fooled me. ” “ For both of us? ” she repeated blankly.
nyp.33433076041569	Upper’r lower berth, sir? ” “ Both, ” said Staff, trying not to look conscious — and succeeding.
nyp.33433076041569	W O N T Y O U W A L K IN?
nyp.33433076041569	Well? ” “ I came, ” she drawled, “ for my hat. ” “ Your hat? ” His eyes opened wide.
nyp.33433076041569	Well? ” “ I came, ” she drawled, “ for my hat. ” “ Your hat? ” His eyes opened wide.
nyp.33433076041569	Were n't you in London last Friday? ” “ I?
nyp.33433076041569	Were n't you in London last Friday? ” “ I?
nyp.33433076041569	What am I to do? ” “ Guess you ’ll have to get out'n'walk back to Cen- tral Park West, ” was the answer.
nyp.33433076041569	What are you going to do? ” Staff had moved toward the telephone.
nyp.33433076041569	What did you do it for? ” 78 T H E B A N D B O X Alison relaxed and sat back in her chair, laughing softly.
nyp.33433076041569	What do you want with me? ” Manvers changed his attitude to one of sardonic civility.
nyp.33433076041569	What had she meant by her veiled references to this mysterious person in Paris, who was to board the steamer at Queenstown?
nyp.33433076041569	What is it? ” “ I wanted to reassure you – I ’ve had a terrible experience, but I'm all right now — safe.
nyp.33433076041569	What right had Arkroyd 72 T H E B A N D B O X to constitute himself Alison's cavalier on her travels?
nyp.33433076041569	What's the use? ” “ Never mind, ” said Staff in an encouraging man- ner; he was genuinely diverted.
nyp.33433076041569	What's your interest in her? ” “ Simple justice, ” he said — and knew his answer to be evasive and unconvincing.
nyp.33433076041569	When she stopped he shot in a crisp question: “ The necklace was n’t in the hat when delivered to me?
nyp.33433076041569	When will you read it to me? ” “ Whenever you wish. ” “ This afternoon? ” “ If you like. ” “ Oh, good!
nyp.33433076041569	When will you read it to me? ” “ Whenever you wish. ” “ This afternoon? ” “ If you like. ” “ Oh, good!
nyp.33433076041569	Where's the steward I left it with? ” “ But, sir, ” pleaded the accused, “ this belongs to this lidy'ere.
nyp.33433076041569	Which, Mr. Manvers? ” A reply seemed to tremble on Manver's lips, but to be withheld at discretion.
nyp.33433076041569	Who is this man? ” “ Oh, quite the swell mobsman — Raffles and Arsène Lupin and all that sort of thing rolled into one.
nyp.33433076041569	Who wants me? ” “ Hold the wire. ” He heard a buzzing, a click; then silence; a pro- longed brrrrp and another click.
nyp.33433076041569	Who would believe her protestations of innocence – presuming that the police should find her before she could reach either Staff or Miss Landis?
nyp.33433076041569	Why must you bring me here and keep me prisoner? ” “ The pleasure of my only daughter's society.
nyp.33433076041569	Why take her word for it?
nyp.33433076041569	Why, did n't I tell you I only left Paris Saturday morning?
nyp.33433076041569	Why? ” “ He – ” the purser began; but the man he had called Mr. Arnold interrupted.
nyp.33433076041569	Will you wait for me in the saloon, outside?
nyp.33433076041569	Wo n't you sit down? ” He was n’t at all reluctant to take the chair by her side.
nyp.33433076041569	Would you mind turning out the lights before you go? ” “ Staff! ” Her tone was so peremptory that he hesitated an unwelcome moment longer.
nyp.33433076041569	You are engaged to marry Miss Landis?
nyp.33433076041569	You could n’t do more. ” “ You ’re positive about this Ismay? ” Staff pur- sued.
nyp.33433076041569	You did n’t trust it to the shop people over night? ” “ Of course not.
nyp.33433076041569	You follow me? ” Staff laughed.
nyp.33433076041569	You know her, I believe?
nyp.33433076041569	You live in New York? ” “ I mean to try to, ” she said quietly.
nyp.33433076041569	You see? ” His face had been hardening during this amazing speech.
nyp.33433076041569	is n’t that ass Manvers enough? ” Further than this, Mr. Iff declined to be interviewed.
nyp.33433076041569	where the devil do you think you're going, my man? ” His man showed a face of dashed amazement.
nyp.33433076041569	you're not flirting with me? ” “ Heaven forfend! ” he cried, so sincerely that both laughed.
nyp.33433076041569	“ A bit hipped — what?
nyp.33433076041569	“ A present for the missis, I take it? ” pursued Iff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Ah, there you are, eh?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Am I never to hear the last of that man?
nyp.33433076041569	“ And now, ” he persisted, “ wo n't you tell me with whom you were discussing me in Paris? ” She shook her head at him reprovingly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And what will you do? ” interrupted Mrs. Ilkington.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And what would you wish me to do with it now, sir? ” she resumed when at length the ravishing vision was hidden away.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And what, please, is the Cadogan collar? ” “ You do n't mean to tell me you've never heard of it? ” She paused with dramatic effect.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And what, please, is the Cadogan collar? ” “ You do n't mean to tell me you've never heard of it? ” She paused with dramatic effect.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And why not? ” she countered.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And you have no idea —? ” “ Not the least in the world, now that you've estab- lished an alibi.
nyp.33433076041569	“ And you surely ca n’t be stirred so deeply by simple solicitude for Miss Searle. ” “ Oh, ca n't I?
nyp.33433076041569	“ And, here! ” he called after her — “ supper ready? ” “ Yes, sir – quite. ” “ Very well; I'll have mine.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Are you in training for a monologist's job?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Are you thrilled, my dear? ” she asked lightly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Bandbox? ” she repeated enquiringly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Beg pardon — Mr. Staff? ” “ Yes.

nyp.33433076041569	“ Both, sir? ” — in tones of pained expostulation.
nyp.33433076041569	“ But all the same, ” she said hastily, at length, “ I want that play. ” “ My play? ” he enquired with significant emphasis.
nyp.33433076041569	“ But are you quite sure you have exhausted every means of identifying the true culprit?
nyp.33433076041569	“ But he ca n't have left the ship! ’ “ Does n't seem so, does it? ” said the Pinkerton man morosely.
nyp.33433076041569	“ But where are you stop- ping? ” There fell a brief pause.
nyp.33433076041569	“ But you did n't come here to discuss your charms — now did you? ” She shook her head slightly, smiling with light- hearted malice.
nyp.33433076041569	“ But — see here — why did n't you tell what you knew, if you knew so much, when you were accused? ” Iff grimaced sourly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ But —? ” he repeated anxiously.
nyp.33433076041569	“ By the way — did you ever solve the mystery of your bandbox? ” Staff started.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Ca n't you let that be?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Can I help it if he happens to travel on the same ship? ”- They halted at the top of the steps.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Cut off, ” she repeated as by rote, “ and I had trouble getting you again. ” “ Then you're — you're all right? ” “ Quite, thank you.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Dear boy, ” she said – “ do you know?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Do n’t you? ” “ No, ” he said excitedly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Do with it? ” stormed the vexed gentleman.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Do you know? ” Staff's gaze sought the indicated direction.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Do you mind telling me how in thunder you got in here? ” asked Staff courteously.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Enjoying your breakfast, I trust? ” Eleanor pushed back her chair and rose.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Find anything? ” she asked lightly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ For yourself, may I awsk? ” “ For myself alone. ” “ Then- Q. ” The clerk fetched a cabin- plot.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Going my way? ” enquired Mr. Iff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Gone? ” echoed Staff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Good night. ” QUEEN STOWN 58 “ You wo n't tell me who it was in Lucille's, yester- day? ” he harked back pleadingly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Have n't you heard the rumour that I ’m a desperate character? ” “ Just what do you mean? ” demanded Staff, eyeing the other intently.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Have n't you heard the rumour that I ’m a desperate character? ” “ Just what do you mean? ” demanded Staff, eyeing the other intently.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Have n’t I just said as much?
nyp.33433076041569	“ He claimed to be a Secret Service man, did n’t he? ” “ He did, ” returned Staff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ He ’s down on the passenger- list as Iff – W. H. Iff. ” V ISMAY?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hello? ” He started violently, recognising the voice that answered: “ Mr.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hello? ” His heart jumped: the voice was Miss Searle's.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hello? ” he called.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hello? ” he called.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hello? ” he cried, receiver at ear.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hello? ” he said irritably.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Hoodwink you?
nyp.33433076041569	“ How do you make that out, sir? ” demanded the captain.
nyp.33433076041569	“ How far are we from New York? ” “ I could n’t rightly say — ai n't never been there.
nyp.33433076041569	“ How long do you mean to keep me here? ” “ That depends on how agreeable you make your- self, ” he said obscurely.
nyp.33433076041569	“ How many has Arkroyd, this half? ” he demanded bluntly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ How- d- you- do? ” he said civilly; and to Manvers: “ Well.
nyp.33433076041569	“ How? ” She lifted her white, gleaming shoulders with an air of half- tolerant impatience.
nyp.33433076041569	“ I did n’t notice the glasses, but otherwise you ’ve described him! ” “ What did I tell you? ” Iff helped himself to a cigarette.
nyp.33433076041569	“ I say, what's this bandbox doing in my cab?
nyp.33433076041569	“ I was thinking — ” “ About me?
nyp.33433076041569	“ I?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Is it good? ” “ You ’ll have to tell me that — you and Max. ” “ Oh — Max!
nyp.33433076041569	“ Is n’t it enough that I claim it?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Is n’t that the real name of that odd creature who called himself Iff and pretended to be a Secret Service man? ” Staff nodded a glum assent.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Just that. ” “ Then — where can I find her? ” He shrugged.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Lonely? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076041569	“ May I ask how it happened? ” Staff put in.
nyp.33433076041569	“ May I ask you a question or two, Miss Landis? ” Alison nodded curtly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ May I hope you will be good enough to humour him? ” “ Most assuredly, ” Iff picked up his steamer- cap and set it jauntily upon his head.
nyp.33433076041569	“ May I try it on, Staff? ” “ What? ” said the young man absently, absorbed in his search.
nyp.33433076041569	“ May I try it on, Staff? ” “ What? ” said the young man absently, absorbed in his search.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Might one enquire the cause of all this- here fluster? ” “ I daresay the captain — ” “ Oh, very well.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Mind if I borrow it? ” he asked, ignoring the man.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Miss Searle bringing the evanescent collar, eh? ” A L I K E L Y S TO R. Y 171 Staff nodded curtly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Must carry lights. ” “ Five dollars? ” Iff argued persuasively.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Need I enumerate them, to you?
nyp.33433076041569	“ No; it is n’t advertising — it's discipline. ” “ Discipline? ” “ Just that.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Nor yet to conduct a guessing contest? ” “ No. ” “ Then I ’ve exhausted my allowance.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Not really? ” And again she laughed.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Now what ’re you going to do? ” “ I ’m going to try to snatch a few hours'sleep.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Of course; the ship has been humming with it ever since dinner. ” “ But how —? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Oh, you were n’t far away, were you, Staff? ” she said lightly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ On Wreck Island, of course. ” “ And where is that? ” “ In Long Island Sound, about a mile off ºn the Connecticut shore.
nyp.33433076041569	“ On what grounds? ” “ I do n’t believe that Miss Searle — ” “ On what grounds? ” He shrugged, acknowledging his inability to explain.
nyp.33433076041569	“ On what grounds? ” “ I do n’t believe that Miss Searle — ” “ On what grounds? ” He shrugged, acknowledging his inability to explain.
nyp.33433076041569	“ One of —? ” “ To me, of course- you know the rest: the usual T H E W R O N G B O X 143 thing, ” he said.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Or guilty knowledge?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Pretty thin — what? ” “ In spots, ” Staff agreed.
nyp.33433076041569	“ See anything of another boat? ” Iff asked.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Shall I serve your supper now? ” “ Please, ” he said quietly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ She ca n’t afford it. ” “ How do you happen to know she ca n't? ” enquired Staff, perplexed.
nyp.33433076041569	“ So sorry, ” she said; “ my card is quite full and running over. ” “ May I see it? ” She surrendered it without hesi- tation.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Somebody coming? ” enquired Iff brightly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ That thing? ” said Staff with scorn.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Then it was accidental —? ” he asked seriously.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Thrilled? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Tired?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Upper’r lower? ” enquired his clerk.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Well, I'll be damned! ” “ Then why not lead a better life? ” enquired Mr. Iff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Well? ” demanded Alison, seating herself.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Well? ” said the captain without moving.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Well? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Well? ” she iterated less patiently.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What am I to do, then? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What am I to do? ” he groaned aloud.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What d ’ you mean by that? ” “ Hello, ” responded Iff, dropping upon the cush- ioned seat beside him.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What d'you mean by that? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What did you think? ” “ I hoped it was n’t so, ” she said brokenly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What do you know? ” “ Why, ” she said, “ it was simple enough.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What do you make of it? ” “ This address is n’t her writing, ” he said, deep in thought.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What do you mean? ” he asked bluntly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What do you mean? ” “ Merely that.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What do you mean? ” “ Simply that between us we ’ve gummed this busi- ness up neatly — hard and fast.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What does he mean by that? ” “ How can I tell?
nyp.33433076041569	“ What does he mean by that? ” “ How can I tell?
nyp.33433076041569	“ What else could it be? ” “ I only wish I knew! ” The exclamation was so fervent that Miss Searle laughed again.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What is it? ” T H E W R O N G B O X 137 “ Good- bye, ” he returned automatically, and hung up the receiver.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What is that light over there? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What is the matter? ” she asked anxiously, bending forward.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What made you think of that? ” “ Oh — I do n’t know. ” “ No – have n’t had any chance.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What made you undo it? ” he heard the woman ask.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What of it? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076041569	“ What on earth got you up so early?
nyp.33433076041569	“ What right had you to interfere?
nyp.33433076041569	“ What the deuce now? ” he murmured.

nyp.33433076041569	“ What ’re you staring at? ” “ You, ” Staff replied calmly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Where would you wish me to put it, sir? ” “ Put what? ” Milly gesticulated eloquently with the bandbox.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Where would you wish me to put it, sir? ” “ Put what? ” Milly gesticulated eloquently with the bandbox.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Who?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why ca n't you men ever be candid? ” Surprise merged into some annoyance.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why did you do that? ” she demanded with a stamp of her foot.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why do n't you look? ” he demanded, irritated.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why not stop up and see the tender come off? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why not? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why not? ” the woman demanded.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why pity the poor playwright? ” “ He has his troubles, ” quoth Mr.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why waste time?

nyp.33433076041569	“ Why?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why? ” He stared gravely into her shadowed face.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Why? ” She opened her hands expressively.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Will you take me with you when you leave this island tonight? ” she demanded, 248 T H E B A N D B O X He shook his head with his derisive smile.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Wo n't you tell me why? ” she pleaded.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Wo n't you tell me, please? ” he begged, bending forward.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Would you believe it?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Yes, Miss Landis. ” “ Have my things come up yet? ” The maid responded affirmatively.
nyp.33433076041569	“ Yes?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Yes? ” he said.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You ai n't hungry again? ” “ No, ” said Eleanor, lingering on the porch, reluctant to enter.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You are the caretaker here? ” she asked as soon as her hunger was a little satisfied.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You could n’t be mistaken? ”- “ Not I, ” asserted the purser confidently.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You do n't deny you're Ismay? ” This from the captain, aggressive and domineering.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You do n’t mind my coming? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You have it all mapped out, then? ” she persisted.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You just naturally had to beat me to that, did n’t you? ” he complained.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You know what this means? ” “ You tell me, ” he smiled.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You rang, sir? ” “ Are you our steward? ” asked Staff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You rang, sir? ” “ Are you our steward? ” asked Staff.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You remember ” – she looked at Staff – “ when we met in the saloon, about half- past five, and went on deck?
nyp.33433076041569	“ You ’ve just woke up, ai n't you? ” she said sooth- ingly.
nyp.33433076041569	“ You ’ve money, of course?
nyp.33433076041569	“ Your business —? ” But here Staff's clerk touched the exasperated cate- chist on the shoulder and said something inaudible.
nyp.33433076041569	“ – yesterday morning, and how? ” “ Because the time seemed ripe for me to do my marvellous vanishing stunt.
nyp.33433076071921	$ o TRAGEDY AT THE BEACH CLUB “ And what became of that piece of paper? ” asked Doctor Dooner accusingly.
nyp.33433076071921	- Where was she?
nyp.33433076071921	7o TRAGEDY AT THE BEACH CLUB “ Look here, ” he cried, “ ca n't we keep the con- tents of this will secret for the present?
nyp.33433076071921	About what had they been talking so earnestly?
nyp.33433076071921	Admit no one but him. ” “ What's his name? ” I asked, to be sure of admitting the right person.
nyp.33433076071921	After all, he reasoned, what was the use of worrying her about it?
nyp.33433076071921	And now, tell me, what have they dis- covered?
nyp.33433076071921	And what's more, I think the Manners family have been acting most pecul- iarly. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Tilt anxiously.
nyp.33433076071921	And who was he writing it to?
nyp.33433076071921	And why had Miss Addison denied knowing Carew?
nyp.33433076071921	And why had Paul Carew lied to her about going to Boston?
nyp.33433076071921	Are there any other wit- nesses? ” “ Here's Mrs. Grady, the doctor's housekeeper, ” said Smithers.
nyp.33433076071921	At least, when he looked me up and said he was from the Trust Company, I took his word for it. ” “ Did he give you his card? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076071921	Besides, was he not the ex- ecutor of Walter Rhodes's will?
nyp.33433076071921	Besides, what could be accomplished by telling about the burglary?
nyp.33433076071921	Bill Tilt has been trying to make me believe dreadful things about you. ” “ What's this? ” cried Carew, giving a nervous start.
nyp.33433076071921	Bill, why do n't you and Ed go down there and in- vestigate?
nyp.33433076071921	But Mollie — where was she?
nyp.33433076071921	But did it account for Conchita?
nyp.33433076071921	But if Devan's theory were right, why had the murderer mailed this scrap of paper to Mollie?
nyp.33433076071921	But tell me, Bill, if Mr. Devan did n't know about this, why did he want Paul arrested?
nyp.33433076071921	But the devil of it is, how did she get hold of it, and why did she mail it to Mollie? ” “ I know, ” said Kit confidently.
nyp.33433076071921	But what could have been the motive, a motive impelling enough to bring about this cold- blooded murder?
nyp.33433076071921	But what could this new development mean?
nyp.33433076071921	But what relatives had he except that mysterious wife from whom he had been sep- arated for so many years?
nyp.33433076071921	But where could he find a safe place to put them at this hour of the night?
nyp.33433076071921	But who was the burglar?
nyp.33433076071921	But who was there who could have hoped to have profited by Rhodes's death?
nyp.33433076071921	Carew?
nyp.33433076071921	Could it have been Mollie who had met Doctor Rhodes there in the clubhouse at one in the morning?
nyp.33433076071921	Dane, ” said the lawyer, “ do you recall seeing Paul Carew on the night before Doctor Rhodes was murdered? ” “ Yes.

nyp.33433076071921	He dreads all the publicity. ” “ But you're not going? ” There was sharp dismay in Bill Tilt's voice.
nyp.33433076071921	He feels safe against discovery. ” “ I hope you are right, ” sighed Tilt, “ but what do you suppose was the murderer's motive?
nyp.33433076071921	He was a friend of yours, was n’t he? ” “ The best friend I had in the world, ” the old man said.
nyp.33433076071921	He was arrested last night at the Inn just after he left your house. ” “ What did you find out?
nyp.33433076071921	He was in his study, read- ing, belike. ” “ Did you recognize the voice?
nyp.33433076071921	How did she take it? ” asked Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	How do you explain it?
nyp.33433076071921	How long have you known Mr. Carew? ” “ Carew — I do n't know any one named Ca- rew. ” “ Paul Carew, ” repeated Tilt, surprised.

nyp.33433076071921	How would Mollie Manners take her fiancé's arrest?
nyp.33433076071921	I be- lieve he loved her to the day of his death. ” “ What became of the woman? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076071921	I do not imagine Rhodes ever associated him with the sanitarium that so long had sheltered his wife. ” “ What did he want here?
nyp.33433076071921	I have n’t told a soul. ” “ Then why'd they arrest Carew? ” “ Devan has been gathering a lot of information about the case.
nyp.33433076071921	I learned of it when I told him of our engagement. ” “ What did he say? ” 154 TRAGEDY AT THE BEACH CLUB “ That was the strange part of it.
nyp.33433076071921	I never caught even a glimpse of him. ” “ Would you know his voice again if you heard it? ” “ I doubt it.
nyp.33433076071921	I saw her go. ” “ You did n't shadow her? ” There was resent- ment in Tilt's tone.
nyp.33433076071921	I want to read that will to you. ” “ Come over this evening. ” “ But wo n’t Carew be there? ” “ No, Paul has gone away.
nyp.33433076071921	I wonder what it can be? ” “ I wonder, ” said Tilt, as he bade Kit good night and strode off toward home.
nyp.33433076071921	I ’m going over to Doctor Rhodes's house to get some papers. ” “ Why should n't I?
nyp.33433076071921	I ’ve had a message. ” 96 TRAGEDY AT THE BEACH CLUB"“ What on earth are you talking about?
nyp.33433076071921	If Carew had n't done it — who could have — Mollie?
nyp.33433076071921	If I heard it again, I'd know it, but wirra, wirra, what's to become of me with him lying there kilt?
nyp.33433076071921	If Mollie were in there, who could be with her?
nyp.33433076071921	If Rhodes had tried to warn her against Carew, would she not have been enraged — almost beside herself?
nyp.33433076071921	Is Mr. Hodder here? ” The chief of police found the old boatman still standing on the porch outside and brought him in.
nyp.33433076071921	Is that statement~ true? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433076071921	Is there not some way that it can be withheld until the mystery of the murder is solved? ” “ That matter rests in your hands, ” said Dixon.
nyp.33433076071921	It seemed a shame to leave him in that uncomfortable position. ” “ What's that? ” the excited, shrill voice of the Terrible Kit interrupted.
nyp.33433076071921	It was all nonsense, but where could these two silly youngsters have got such an answer to their question?
nyp.33433076071921	It was then that he told me about it. ” “ Told you what? ” “ About his marriage.
nyp.33433076071921	MISSING – A MOTIVE 185 Where'd she go?
nyp.33433076071921	Manners has gone away? ” “ You know that? ” Devan nodded.
nyp.33433076071921	Manners has gone away? ” “ You know that? ” Devan nodded.
nyp.33433076071921	Manners herself had gone away, what would people think?
nyp.33433076071921	Manners?
nyp.33433076071921	Of course, the very idea was absurd, but — what could have been the mission that had taken them all to Boston?
nyp.33433076071921	Or perhaps it was some business worry?
nyp.33433076071921	Ought he not to let Mollie know that her fiancé was deceiving her?
nyp.33433076071921	Perhaps he did n't trust Carew. ”- “ Why?
nyp.33433076071921	Please, Bill, wo n't you? ” “ Why pick on me? ” he replied almost peevishly.
nyp.33433076071921	Please, Bill, wo n't you? ” “ Why pick on me? ” he replied almost peevishly.
nyp.33433076071921	Probably one or the other of them, consciously or unconsciously, had manipulated the board, but even so, why had they brought in Carew's name?
nyp.33433076071921	Question — What put the thought of making a will into his head?
nyp.33433076071921	Rhodes was our treasurer. ” “ Who was this steward? ” “ Gus Pincus, his name was.
nyp.33433076071921	Rhodes was writing — what?
nyp.33433076071921	Run along home. ” “ Where are you going?
nyp.33433076071921	Shall we pledge ourselves to secrecy until Tilt gives the word? ” “ What about Mollie — Miss Manners? ” asked Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	Shall we pledge ourselves to secrecy until Tilt gives the word? ” “ What about Mollie — Miss Manners? ” asked Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	Suppose something had happened to her, something dreadful?
nyp.33433076071921	That explains it, does n't it, Bill? ” “ That certainly supplies a motive.
nyp.33433076071921	That's harder on me than on you, for you never will learn to dance, but — ” “ But What? ” She hesitated a trifle before answering.
nyp.33433076071921	That's what gets me. ” “ Who, here in the colony, knows Rhodes best?
nyp.33433076071921	Then something hap- pened. ” “ What was it?
nyp.33433076071921	Then, too, what had Carew been doing in Miss Addison's company?
nyp.33433076071921	There was no one there but us two. ” “ Did n't you take it? ” “ Did n't you? ” “ Mr.

nyp.33433076071921	To whom?
nyp.33433076071921	Was he a failure in life?
nyp.33433076071921	Was he married? ” Instead of answering him, Mrs.
nyp.33433076071921	Was he some Italian, as Conchita ’s appearance in the case naturally suggested?
nyp.33433076071921	Was it a man or a woman?
nyp.33433076071921	Was it not his duty, the duty of their long- estab- lished friendship, to tell her and put her on her guard?
nyp.33433076071921	Was it possible, he wondered, that the doctor's will had supplied the motive for his murder?
nyp.33433076071921	Was there a quarrel? ” “ It did not sound as if they were quarreling.
nyp.33433076071921	We got the message together. ” “ What message?
nyp.33433076071921	We're not a bit alike. ” “ How?
nyp.33433076071921	Were these threats made in per- son or by mail?
nyp.33433076071921	Were they old acquaintances?
nyp.33433076071921	What angle of the mystery could thus have brought to- gether Rhodes's trusted office attendant and Paul Carew?
nyp.33433076071921	What could have been his motive for deceiving her?
nyp.33433076071921	What could have been the motive?
nyp.33433076071921	What could have happened?
nyp.33433076071921	What could have put it into her silly head to write such a message about her sister's fiancé?
nyp.33433076071921	What could it be?
nyp.33433076071921	What could it mean?
nyp.33433076071921	What could it mean?
nyp.33433076071921	What could that mean?
nyp.33433076071921	What did he come for? ” asked Chief Smithers.
nyp.33433076071921	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076071921	What did she say?
nyp.33433076071921	What do you mean — a message from your mother? ” “ No, ” said Kit, “ not from her.
nyp.33433076071921	What do you mean? ” cried Mollie, bridling at once.
nyp.33433076071921	What do you mean? ” “ We do n't look a bit alike, do we? ” “ No, ” confessed Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	What do you mean? ” “ We do n't look a bit alike, do we? ” “ No, ” confessed Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	What do you say, gentlemen?
nyp.33433076071921	What happened? ” “ All at once the pencil in Gertie's hand began to move.
nyp.33433076071921	What has he to do with it? ” “ Oh, I ’ve been intending to tell you about him.
nyp.33433076071921	What possible motive could the attorney have in admitting all these circumstances that on their face so damaged his client's case?
nyp.33433076071921	What was happening?
nyp.33433076071921	What was his purpose in doing that?
nyp.33433076071921	What was it?
nyp.33433076071921	What was she doing at the club all by herself at that hour of the morning?
nyp.33433076071921	What was there about him that was at fault; what failing in character or personality, he wondered, made them hold his friend- ship so lightly?
nyp.33433076071921	What would Mollie say?
nyp.33433076071921	What would people think about it?
nyp.33433076071921	What would they say?
nyp.33433076071921	What's the matter? ” She seemed not even to have seen him.
nyp.33433076071921	When's she coming home? ” Tilt asked, seeking to change the subject.
nyp.33433076071921	Where had she gone this morning and for what purpose?
nyp.33433076071921	Who are his oldest friends? ” “ The Manners family, I suppose, ” said Tilt guardedly.
nyp.33433076071921	Who could it have been that had mailed the missing message to Mollie, and for what reason had it been mailed to her, of all persons?
nyp.33433076071921	Who do you suppose could have taken it? ” “ The murderer probably has it, ” answered Devan calmly.
nyp.33433076071921	Who is he? ” 122 TFAGEDY AT THE BEACH CLUB “ We ’ve got some new clues, though, good ones, ” Smithers continued.
nyp.33433076071921	Who is he? ” GROUND FOR SUSPICION 127 it be that both he and Devan had been mistaken in her?
nyp.33433076071921	Who is he? ” GROUND FOR SUSPICION 127 it be that both he and Devan had been mistaken in her?
nyp.33433076071921	Who was she?
nyp.33433076071921	Who was this man?
nyp.33433076071921	Who would be apt to know about these threats?
nyp.33433076071921	Who, then, could it have been?
nyp.33433076071921	Whom had he expected to meet?
nyp.33433076071921	Why did they keep so quiet at first about the mes- sage the doctor was writing when he was shot?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had Carew lied to Mollie?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had Carew made up an elaborate story about going to Boston and then not gone?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had Rhodes named him as executor — him, Bill Tilt — when Mollie was to marry Paul Carew P Who was Walter Rhodes's wife?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had Walter Rhodes left all his money to Mollie Manners the day after her engagement was announced?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had he spoken of going away and then not gone?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had she begged for time?
nyp.33433076071921	Why had she refused to answer his question?
nyp.33433076071921	Why was he riding up Sixth Avenue with Miss Addison, when he was supposed to be in Boston?
nyp.33433076071921	Would a man stop in the middle of a sentence to kill himself?
nyp.33433076071921	Yet what else was there for him to think about it?
nyp.33433076071921	You do n't think it was one of us? ” Devan laughed at his friend's consternation.
nyp.33433076071921	You know, do n’t you? ” “ I ’m not saying if I know or if I do n't know.
nyp.33433076071921	You must let people know that the Manners family are hooked up in it. ” “ What good would that do? ” objected Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	You were n't with a woman, were you? ” “ It seems to me, ” said Carew stiffly, “ that Mr.
nyp.33433076071921	‘ He'll call himself Mr. Smith, ’ he an- swered. ” “ Did you see this Mr. Smith? ” asked Devan eagerly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ And I can trust you? ” “ Sure you can. ” “ Bill, ” she whispered mysteriously, “ I know something more about it.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Are n't you going to wish me happiness? ’ I asked him.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Are you ill? ” “ Not at all, ” he laughed reassuringly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Bill Tilt, ” she said, “ you are a good friend of mine, are n't you? ” “ Why, of course, Kit, ” he said, wondering what was coming next.
nyp.33433076071921	“ But would n't you like to see his murderer cap- tured? ” said Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Can I come over to see you?
nyp.33433076071921	“ Could you describe him? ” Miss Addison shook her head.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Did any one else have keys? ” “ Just them two. ” “ Your cottage is within hearing distance of the club.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Do n’t you know that he is supposed to have killed himself? ” “ He was murdered, ” said Mollie calmly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Do you know Miss Manners — Miss Mollie Manners? ” asked Devan.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Do you think it's right to hold back information that may help the man that killed him? ” “ It may be right, and it may n’t.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Get anything more? ” asked Devan, as soon as they were alone.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Have you always found him trustworthy? ” “ Why, of course I have.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Have you heard from your mother?
nyp.33433076071921	“ How dared you bring Mollie into this? ” he fairly shrieked at her brother.
nyp.33433076071921	“ I told you that was a man from the Trust Company where Doctor Rhodes had an account. ” “ Are you positive? ” “ Why, of course.
nyp.33433076071921	“ I wonder what it means? ” he muttered to him- self.
nyp.33433076071921	“ I wonder whom it could have been? ” “ I have n't the slightest idea, ” admitted Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	“ If he did n't do it, who else could have done it? ” cried Kit.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Is it true?
nyp.33433076071921	“ Is that you, Bill? ” she said.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Look here, ” said Tilt, “ when am I going to get another chance to see you alone and talk about things?
nyp.33433076071921	“ Mollie, ” he cried, putting out his arms, “ what's happened?
nyp.33433076071921	“ My God, ” cried Ed Manners, “ what's this? ” He turned to his sister and seizing her almost roughly by the shoulders thrust her back.
nyp.33433076071921	“ So Rhodes was married. ”- “ Married? ” cried Hart.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Tell me every- thing. ” “ How did you know that Carew had been ar- rested? ” “ I heard Mr. Devan telling Mollie.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Tell me, ” said Mollie, as people began gathering up their parcels, “ what have the police done? ” “ They have Gus Pincus locked up.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Then why wo n't you tell us what you know about him? ” “ Nothing I could tell could bring him back again, ” persisted Hodder stubbornly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ They are the same, are n't they? ” “ You bet they are, ” said Tilt jubilantly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ They must have known him a long time. ” “ Any one else? ” “ Yes, ” said Tilt, “ there's old Hodder, who looks after the boats.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Was there anything else in the envelope — any note? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076071921	“ We asked ouija, ‘ Who killed Walter Rhodes? ’ ” “ And what did ouija say? ” “ Promise you wo n't tell any one.

nyp.33433076071921	“ What are you going to do with that? ” “ That is Doctor Rhodes's will, ” he explained.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What do you know about Conchita? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What do you make of it? ” asked Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What do you make of it? ” whispered Mollie.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What for then, ” he demanded, “ did her brother and Tilt try so hard to keep her name out of it?
nyp.33433076071921	“ What happened then? ” “ I ’d never seen a dead person before, ” she said, her voice sinking almost to a whisper.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What have you found out? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What is your name? ” the examiner asked.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What made you ask me that? ” “ But he had been married, had n't he? ” Tilt per- sisted.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What made you ask me that? ” “ But he had been married, had n't he? ” Tilt per- sisted.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What things? ” “ I merely told her, ” Tilt hastened to explain, “ certain things that I know to be facts.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What time did he go out? ” he asked the cook.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What's that paper? ” asked Kit curiously.
nyp.33433076071921	“ What, ” cried Hart, “ do you two chaps know each other? ” “ Do we know each other, ” cried Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Where has your mother gone? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Where'd you get this? ” he asked eagerly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Who took it, if he did n't? ” asked Dixon.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Who was the man — that man who got away? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Who'd he leave his money to? ” “ I ca n't tell you that.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Who's Conchita? ” Tilt asked wonderingly.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Whose writing is it? ” “ It's Conchita's, ” said Kit.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Why do n't you tell us if Rhodes was married or not?
nyp.33433076071921	“ Why not? ” said Hart.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Why this early stuff? ” “ It ’s the tournament.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Would you mind asking Hodder to wait a few minutes on the lawn? ” said Devan, as he presented Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	“ Yes, but why did she go away just then?
nyp.33433076071921	“ You do n't suppose that Gus Pincus had threatened his life, do you? ” “ Nonsense, ” cried Tilt.
nyp.33433076071921	“ You know him, do n't you? ” “ Never heard of him in my life.
nyp.33433076071921	“ You know him, do n't you? ” “ Never heard of him in my life.

nyp.33433112010313	Did this advice come from her heart, or had she been instructed to warn him?
nyp.33433112010313	Did you find any open or unlocked windows?
nyp.33433112010313	Do you get my thought, Mr. Forrester? ”- “ I think I do, ” said Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	Do you know what that day was that I nearly got took off?
nyp.33433112010313	Do you think you are wise?
nyp.33433112010313	Forrester drank a little from the glass and then she let his head drop gently back on the THE MASK OF DEATH 205 “ A rubber thing?
nyp.33433112010313	Had the package over which he and the detec- tives were watching already been removed?
nyp.33433112010313	He said that Father had unquestionably been dead for many hours. ” “ Could he tell the cause of death? ” inquired Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	How could he attempt my life?
nyp.33433112010313	How could he expose the “ Friends of the Poor ” and drag her down in the crash?
nyp.33433112010313	How did you get that mask of death, Mary?
nyp.33433112010313	How do you feel?
nyp.33433112010313	I can believe it after seeing this photo. ” “ You ai n’t got a picture 0 ’ them ghosts, have you?
nyp.33433112010313	I never had no superstition till last night, but believe me?
nyp.33433112010313	I stood no chance chasin ’ an automobile. ” “ What do you know about that?
nyp.33433112010313	I suppose you heard about the banker, Nevins, today? ” “ Yes, ” said Forrester, rising to go.
nyp.33433112010313	If I get a feel on one of my strings I ’ll holler C or D. Get me?
nyp.33433112010313	If these apparitions had no connection with the “ Friends of the Poor, ” then what was their purpose?
nyp.33433112010313	In some West Side saloon or tene- ment, or in a high class neighborhood — perhaps even in some fine hotel?
nyp.33433112010313	It probably is n’t worth the danger in- volved to get it. ” “ Do you think he will take the risk?
nyp.33433112010313	Jes ’ hants! ” “ What nonsense are you talking now? ” queried Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	Might it not be possible that Hum- phrey had merely been a spy sent to ascertain his attitude?
nyp.33433112010313	Not them city dicks?
nyp.33433112010313	Now, I ask you, Mr. Forrester, if you were taking in that amount of money, where would you have your hangout?
nyp.33433112010313	Now, Mr. Forrester, you ’re an engineer. ” “ How did you know that? ” queried Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	Now, do you get the idea? ” Forrester did, and he was astounded at the news.
nyp.33433112010313	On the other hand, would not the wholesale fear aroused among wealthy men by this method be part of Red propaganda?
nyp.33433112010313	Or had she retired for the night?
nyp.33433112010313	O’Connor ’s strings will be A and B, and mine will be C and D. Get the idea?
nyp.33433112010313	THE SECRET TOLL did this afternoon toward this mysterious band. ” “ Who was he? ” “ George Nevins, the banker! ” “ George Nevins!
nyp.33433112010313	That is a dupli- cate of the warning which I received. ” “ Did you get one, too? ” exclaimed For- rester.
nyp.33433112010313	That ’s what little Benny is goin’ to do! ” “ How do you propose to find that out? ” inquired Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	That ’s what we dropped in for this evening. ” “ What do you want me to do? ” asked Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	The question is, can I do it — have'I the ability to be a detective? ” “ Why not? ” queried Humphrey.
nyp.33433112010313	The question is, can I do it — have'I the ability to be a detective? ” “ Why not? ” queried Humphrey.
nyp.33433112010313	There she held out her hand and as he took it, she said, pleadingly, “ Please, Robert, wo n’t you go away for a little while?
nyp.33433112010313	There ’s no question about who the ‘ Friends of the Poor ’ are now. ” “ Did those fellows get my package?
nyp.33433112010313	Those reporters have to invent half the stqur they write. ” “ But you did get a notice, did n’t you, Son? ” asked Mrs. Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	Was he, after all, actually discovering clues which the detectives had overlooked?
nyp.33433112010313	Was it not possible that these feelings arose from a sense of victory?
nyp.33433112010313	Was not one of its definitions “ drive back ”?
nyp.33433112010313	Was the woman away?
nyp.33433112010313	Was this about to happen once more?
nyp.33433112010313	Was this the actual purpose of the snakes?
nyp.33433112010313	What chance had he in unearthing something which a direct police investigation could not disclose?
nyp.33433112010313	What connection could there be be- tween these local, cold- blooded murders and the rest of the world?
nyp.33433112010313	What have you decided to do — — are you going to pay the money or fight?
nyp.33433112010313	What was the real purpose of these snakes?
nyp.33433112010313	Who has been telling you all these things? ” “ Tellin ’ me? ” gasped Green.
nyp.33433112010313	Who has been telling you all these things? ” “ Tellin ’ me? ” gasped Green.
nyp.33433112010313	Who the deuce can she be?
nyp.33433112010313	Why did she want him to go away?
nyp.33433112010313	Why do you look so astonished?
nyp.33433112010313	Why not, for the moment, assume the character of Humphrey and ap- proach her as a reporter?
nyp.33433112010313	Why not?
nyp.33433112010313	Wo n’t you con; fide in me and let me help you?
nyp.33433112010313	You must remember, ” he added, “ that I have been playing the detective my- self. ” “ And you still want to marry me? ” she queried.'
nyp.33433112010313	You ’ll be back, wo n’t you, Bob?
nyp.33433112010313	right? ” “ You ’ve put it very roughly, but I think I can see what you are driving at, ” returned Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	~ “ And you mean to say, Bob, ” gasped Pren- tice, “ that these detectives have actually located the ‘ Friends of the Poor ’?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Am I too late to ask for the first dance?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Did I startle you?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Did they give any names? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Did —- you — get — him?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do I appear and disappear so mysteri- ously as all that?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do I look frightened? ” retorted Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do I? ” cried Green.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do either of you mind my smoking?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do n’t see any strangers hanging around, do you?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do n’t you go to church? ” inquired Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Do you mean that? ” he gasped.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Does she say who Miss Sturtevant is? ” queried Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Has it? ” asked Forrester, innocently, after a pause.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Have you a husband?
nyp.33433112010313	“ He started for the tree a few minutes ago. ” “ Take anyone with him?
nyp.33433112010313	“ How am I to take that?
nyp.33433112010313	“ How can you, ” she asked, “ in so short a time?
nyp.33433112010313	“ How did you plan to go home?
nyp.33433112010313	“ How do you know?
nyp.33433112010313	“ How many dances do you wish?
nyp.33433112010313	“ How the deuce did you get in?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Howdy- do, suh. ” “ Any new stories about that haunted tree, Joshua? ” “ No, sub!
nyp.33433112010313	“ I ’ll bet I ’ve killed any idea those fellows might have had that you would put up a fight. ” “ What did you say? ” queried Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Is that the money?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Is this Mr. Forrester? ” inquired one of the men.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Just as I turned in — from the main road — down here — I heard the rumpus — — and I thought you had got the man. ” “ THE man?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Maybe you knew this guy, too — Booth Warren, the banker? ” “ Yes, I knew him very well, ” returned Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Mr. Forrester? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Must we remain strangers? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Nex ’ mo’nin ’ Ah says to Marthy: What yo’all t’ink dat was we heered las ’ night?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Now, may I inquire how you hap- pened to call on me? ” “ Sure thing, ” returned Humphrey.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Now, ” he said, “ what is it?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Oh, Robert, ” cried a voice, “ are you all right?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Oh, ” she murmured, flushing, “ was n’t it?
nyp.33433112010313	“ On your way home? ” inquired Prentice.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Putting it in or taking it out? ” she inquired, lightly.
nyp.33433112010313	“ See that black spot back of the tree?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Some of these bad men may get her. ” “ Say, Boss, what yo ’ mean bad men? ” Forrester looked his surprise.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Tell me, Bob, ” he requested, at length, “ have you made any definite plans about tomor- row night?
nyp.33433112010313	“ That you, Forrester? ” asked the voice.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Until when?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Wait until I get my hands on that reporter! ” “ Arn’t you really frightened? ” asked Josephine.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Was that the thing my assailant used on me last night?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Well, then, as an engineer how am I going to solve this problem in crime? ” “ By triangulation! ” exclaimed Humphrey.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Well, what then?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Well, what, in your opinion, makes a good detective? ” “ Brains! ” shot back Humphrey.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Well?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What about them?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What are you talking about?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What do you keep those snakes for? ” he asked, suddenly.
nyp.33433112010313	“ What do you mean? ” “ Ah dunno what it is, Boss. ” “ Where is it now?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What do you mean? ” “ Ah dunno what it is, Boss. ” “ Where is it now?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What do you want? ” “ This is the ‘ Friends of the Poor ’, ” came back over the wire.
nyp.33433112010313	“ What happened?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What is your name? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112010313	“ What is your name? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112010313	“ What will you do if the ghosts supposed to haunt that tree should appear? ” inquired Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ What yo’all doin’ dere? ” Forrester withdrew his hand and turned swiftly to find himself facing a coal black negro.
nyp.33433112010313	“ What yo’all doin’?
nyp.33433112010313	“ What ’s this about the ‘ Friends of the Poor ’? ” exclaimed Prentice.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Who ’s got the dope?
nyp.33433112010313	“ Who? ” queried Humphrey.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Why did n’t you tell us you were worried to death? ” “ Worried! ” echoed Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Why do n’t you turn on more lights? ” “ It did seem a bit lonesome before you came, ” admitted Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Why not tell us all about it, Bob? ” Forrester scowled at his sister, and sipped from his water glass to gain time to collect his thoughts.
nyp.33433112010313	“ Would you mind catching my horse? ” she requested.
nyp.33433112010313	“ You been gettin ’ one 0 ’ them notices?
nyp.33433112010313	“ You do n’t believe that stuff, do you, Mr. Forrester? ” asked Cahill, scornfully.
nyp.33433112010313	“ You have heard what happened last night?
nyp.33433112010313	“ You have n’t changed a bit since Thursday, have you?
nyp.33433112010313	“ You live around here, do you? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112010313	“ You re~ member my theory and arguments that these here ‘ Friends 0 ’ the Poor ’ lived near that tree?
nyp.33433112010313	“ ‘ Joshua, ’ she says, ‘ do n’t you know what dat was?
nyp.33433112010313	” ex- claimed Forrester.~ “ Yes, ” admitted the girl, “ but against whom will you use it?
nyp.33433112010313	” she cried, turning to the negro, “ how did Mr. Forrester get that?
nyp.33433112010313	” “ Do you mean what day of the week or month? ” inquired Forrester.
nyp.33433112010313	” “ Goin’ to fool ’em, eh?
nyp.33433112010313	” “ I thought you said your folks were in California? ” “ Yas, suh, Ah done say dat.
nyp.33433112010313	” “ Not located them, exactly, ” returned For- rester, “ but they have a very strong suspicion. ” “ Against whom?
nyp.33433112010313	” “ What do you think I should do? ” asked Forrester.
nyp.33433076024623	'Ow do I know it was n’t'i m as turned on the light? ” Captain Barbee looked at the accused.
nyp.33433076024623	- And Garrison, where was he?
nyp.33433076024623	- So much it would be easy to tell, but how was she to make him understand that she could not allow the impending disaster to occur?
nyp.33433076024623	- “ I?
nyp.33433076024623	- “ Well — about Washington? ” he questioned when the butler appeared.
nyp.33433076024623	134 THE TRIPLE MYSTERY “ Then you have found your suspicions ground- less???
nyp.33433076024623	134 THE TRIPLE MYSTERY “ Then you have found your suspicions ground- less???
nyp.33433076024623	134 THE TRIPLE MYSTERY “ Then you have found your suspicions ground- less???
nyp.33433076024623	19 20 THE TRIPLE MYSTERY “ Ah, Garrison, how are you? ” Andrassy came forward with outstretched hand, ingratiatingly cordial.
nyp.33433076024623	A SPOT ON AN APRON 51 “ What's the matter? ” she asked, her glance returning, somewhat enlivened, to his face.
nyp.33433076024623	A druggist recom- mended it. ” “ Where ’s the rest of it?
nyp.33433076024623	A lot?
nyp.33433076024623	A sudden death always looks suspic- ious, does n’t it? ” “ To some people, perhaps, ” conceded Peter.
nyp.33433076024623	A voice and talent?
nyp.33433076024623	AMAZING NEWS 201 “ Have you ever attended a murder trial in Italy? ” he asked suddenly.
nyp.33433076024623	About Zarady, you remember?
nyp.33433076024623	About eight o’clock he'phoned down to ask about a package of laundry he was expecting 2 y “ At eight, you say? ” exclaimed the officer.
nyp.33433076024623	Am I right? ” The moment had arrived for Peter to answer.
nyp.33433076024623	And it ’s a wonder I ’m not — ” “ What became of the wine? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076024623	And sit- ting here, doing nothing — Are you a doctor? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433076024623	And those flowers; if only a pleas- ant compliment, why had she flung them away?
nyp.33433076024623	And what had become of the wine?
nyp.33433076024623	And when you got there he was dead? ” “ Yes. ” She shivered as if reliving a terrible moment.
nyp.33433076024623	And why did Kala now want to see Peter?
nyp.33433076024623	And why, by all that was puzzling, had they bought that particular brand of Tokay — the worst in the world, according to Kala?
nyp.33433076024623	And why?
nyp.33433076024623	Are you dreaming that Zarady would do anything for you — or for any woman — on business terms?
nyp.33433076024623	Are you getting so famous you ca n’t see a joke? ” Peter bantered.
nyp.33433076024623	Are you sure, Peter? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433076024623	Asleep? ” 56 THE TRIPLE MYSTERY After this crushing rejoinder the doorman looked round at Peter.
nyp.33433076024623	Bennett, can you go upstairs right away to see Mr. Rudolf Kala, in Six B? ” Miss Ellis asked.
nyp.33433076024623	Besides, how could I ever pay it back?
nyp.33433076024623	Better, eh?
nyp.33433076024623	Blaney ’s there, is n’t he?
nyp.33433076024623	But how had he achieved that good fortune?
nyp.33433076024623	But what could he, Peter, do about it all?
nyp.33433076024623	But what was it the man had carried away?
nyp.33433076024623	But what?
nyp.33433076024623	But where had he seen the man before?
nyp.33433076024623	But why did Andrassy want Garford out of the way?
nyp.33433076024623	But — can’t you give her something, Peter?
nyp.33433076024623	But — perhaps it is for him you want it? ” His eyes flashed suspiciously; then reassured by her blank look, he gave his quick shrug.
nyp.33433076024623	By George, Olive, do you realize that it ’s eight years since we saw each other last?
nyp.33433076024623	By whom?
nyp.33433076024623	Ca n’t you give her something? ” “ Not till I make up my mind what she needs.
nyp.33433076024623	Can you be there?
nyp.33433076024623	Did he really look so harmless?
nyp.33433076024623	Did it make you feel sick? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076024623	Did n't I tell you so? ” demanded Bennett ’s right- hand neighbor when an almost tumultuous burst of clapping greeted the completion of the aria.
nyp.33433076024623	Did you see your notice in the Re- corder? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433076024623	Do n’t mention a word of all this to anybody, you understand? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433076024623	Do you mean — there ’s a concert? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076024623	Do you think she could have overlooked a thing the size of this lying under a sofa? ” “ I do n’t see how she could, ” said Miss Ellis.
nyp.33433076024623	Do you under- stand, my dear? ” Olive Thrace had gone white, but her gaze had not once left his face.
nyp.33433076024623	Do you understand now?
nyp.33433076024623	Do you wonder that the dozen or more doctors who witnessed Zarady ’s death were one in their opinion that he died of heart disease?
nyp.33433076024623	Doctor, did you ever see James O'Neil play Monte Cristo? ” “ No, but I ’ve read the book. ” “ That's not the same thing.
nyp.33433076024623	Ever hear of her? ” The inquirer was an elderly man at Ben- nett ’s left elbow.
nyp.33433076024623	Fleming looked at Taussig, and as if reading the glance the widow said quick- ly: “ Did Dr. Taussig not tell you this?
nyp.33433076024623	For what mattered the time, now that Andrassy was dead?
nyp.33433076024623	For whom, then?
nyp.33433076024623	Franz Hofer?
nyp.33433076024623	Garrison?
nyp.33433076024623	Had Hofer seen the girl and noticed her fur cap, and was that the reason he had stared so at Peter when mention of the cap caused the latter to start?
nyp.33433076024623	Had not Alois Zarady trouble enough with a jealous wife and that insufferable young ape of his, Kala?
nyp.33433076024623	Had she meant what Kala meant?
nyp.33433076024623	Had she really tried to outwit him, as he believed?
nyp.33433076024623	Has there been any? ” “ Well — I do n’t know that there has, ” Garford returned evasively.
nyp.33433076024623	Have you ever suspected her of a drug habit? ” A SPOT ON AN APRON 49 The girl hesitated.
nyp.33433076024623	Have you left that boarding- house? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076024623	He and Perez. ” “ Perez?
nyp.33433076024623	He did n’t send for me again. ” “ Has he? ” This to Bangs, impatiently.
nyp.33433076024623	He must have thought so himself. ” “ How could he if Zarady was dead when they took him off? ” The Brazilian's eyes glared with suspicion.
nyp.33433076024623	He was the man responsible for it. ” “ Responsible? ” repeated Peter, struck by the word.

nyp.33433076024623	How could she ever have let me? ” “ Let you? ” He gave an amused laugh.
nyp.33433076024623	How do you ac- count for that, doctor? ” “ I ca n’t account for it, ” said Peter.

nyp.33433076024623	I do n’t know what — I think she — must have fainted. ” “ Is that why the window is open? ” Peter asked.
nyp.33433076024623	I had just been there and they told me he had n’t come yet. ” “ Who told you? ” A sudden idea had seized Peter.
nyp.33433076024623	I made no examination ex- cept of his heart. ” “ Some other malady that could have caused sudden death?

nyp.33433076024623	I must have the money not later than Monday. ” “ Monday morning? ” “ Yes. ” “ I see.

nyp.33433076024623	Is there any way you could get it? ” He gave a strange, short laugh that made her start and stare.

nyp.33433076024623	“ Has the claim been paid? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Has there been talk? ” The reply was com- posed enough.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Have n’t you heard? ” asked Perez very quietly.

nyp.33433076024623	“ How? ” “ By the stairs.

nyp.33433076024623	“ I have known Miss Thrace since she was a child. ” “ Indeed? ” murmured Kala.
nyp.33433076024623	“ I mean, are you feeling all right? ” he added hastily, fearful lest the first phrasing of his inquiry should strike her as odd.
nyp.33433076024623	“ I must find this Garford at once. ” 144 THE TRIPLE MYSTERY “ Find Garford? ” exclaimed Peter.
nyp.33433076024623	“ I never saw him until this evening, Sir. ” “ Was n't he a friend of Mr. Andrassy ’s?
nyp.33433076024623	“ I? ” he snapped.
nyp.33433076024623	“ In the library, sir. ” “ He did n’t see Mr. Garrison leave then? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Very well.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is it really for your people that you want this money, or is that just an excuse?
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is it safe to let her stay like that? ” “ Her heart is strong.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is n’t the thought of you and that man matter enough?
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is she singing? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is that all? ” he asked heavily.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is the work you are to do so dangerous? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is there any way that you can get it, Olive? ” “ Yes. ” Her tone was barely audible.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Is your mother — ill? ” He meant dead, for from her expression he could infer no less.
nyp.33433076024623	“ It was you who found him? ” the district at- torney was saying.

nyp.33433076024623	“ My father? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433076024623	“ No, not me — your best young man. ” “ Tony?
nyp.33433076024623	“ No, sir. ” “ Many people here? ” “ A small party, sir. ” “ I ’ll go upstairs.
nyp.33433076024623	“ No, the concert is over. ” “ Over? ” Her eyes widened in surprise.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Now what's the use of keeping it up like that? ” grumbled the obnoxious chatterer.

nyp.33433076024623	“ Oh, please give me my boa. ” “ I do n’t believe that's altogether true — is it? ” he went on, in the same easy, kindly tone.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Or is it Doctor Garford?
nyp.33433076024623	“ Perfectly. ” “ Perfectly sure, eh?
nyp.33433076024623	“ Perhaps I can get this money for you. ” “ You? ” She stared in amazement.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Rather grand, this, is n’t it? ” she asked of the smart looking hotel lounge.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Really? ” he murmured in exaggerated astonishment, frown- ing the next moment because his insolence wrought no change in her set face.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Say, where's that girl? ” he snapped.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Sneaked up? ” He scowled at her.
nyp.33433076024623	“ So she was pretty, was she? ” queried Barbee.

nyp.33433076024623	“ What is your address? ” he asked at last.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What killed him? ” he ventured to ask in the quietest way.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What kind of fur is it? ” he asked, waving her toward the reception room and following her TIl.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What made you go to sleep? ” he asked her, when she showed no inclination to talk un- prompted.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What made you so sleepy? ” “ I was tired. ” She shrugged her heavy shoulders.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What nonsense have you in your head now, Mrs. Balke? ” “ It ’s not nonsense, Mr. Perez, ” retorted the woman.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What should I have heard?
nyp.33433076024623	“ What time is it? ” He hesitated.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What was in that glass there? ” Olive Thrace took up the glass indicated, the bottom of which was colored by a darkish yellow fluid.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What was the gargle?
nyp.33433076024623	“ What was the matter with him?

nyp.33433076024623	“ What ’s the mat- ter? ” he exclaimed, ignoring the letter until she had turned away without replying, then he wrenched it from the envelope.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What's the matter? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076024623	“ What? ” He stopped short, astounded at her words.

nyp.33433076024623	“ Why did you run away from me the other evening? ” he asked, smiling down at her gently, hoping to reassure her by a quiet, friendly Iſlanner.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Why do n’t you get it from Garrison? ” he taunted.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Why not?
nyp.33433076024623	“ Why not? ” he asked at last.
nyp.33433076024623	“ Why? ” she asked.

nyp.33433076024623	“ You are a friend of Miss Thrace, I think? ” he said abruptly, with a change of tone.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You are de- termined to go without telling her the truth? ” “ Yes. ”- “ All right,”—reaching for his overcoat.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You are going home, I suppose? ” he said.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You did n’t examine him yourself, I suppose? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You do n't object? ” “ Certainly not, ” the latter replied, as calmly as Olive herself had spoken, and Fleming went off to telephone.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You do n’t believe that, perhaps?
nyp.33433076024623	“ You hold it? ” he exclaimed.

nyp.33433076024623	“ You will keep the guests until my return, you understand? ” asked Andrassy as he passed through the door, held open by the footman.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You will pardon us, doctor? ” “ Certainly, ” Peter replied, moving as he spoke toward the door.
nyp.33433076024623	“ You ’re the stage doorman, are n’t you? ” the woman asked, and Peter noted with interest that she had reverted to her first manner.

nyp.33433076024623	“ You, Tony?
nyp.33433076024623	“ Your company made a bad gamble on Zarady? ” A frown crossed Garford ’s face.

nyp.33433076073919	I ask you? ” 134 The Room with the Tassels “ Land!
nyp.33433076073919	I ca n't believe in this talk, for how could it have been brought about?
nyp.33433076073919	I could see it — ” “ How could you, with no light? ” “ I do n't know how I did.
nyp.33433076073919	I did nothing of the sort 1"“ Who did, then?
nyp.33433076073919	I do n't know anything about them. ” “ Well, do you believe in ghosts? ” “ What do you mean by ghosts?
nyp.33433076073919	I do n't know anything about them. ” “ Well, do you believe in ghosts? ” “ What do you mean by ghosts?
nyp.33433076073919	I know it was, but how can I prove it?
nyp.33433076073919	I lost all consciousness, and when I come to, the thing was gone. ” “ Ever see her again? ” inquired Mr. Bruce, con- versationally.
nyp.33433076073919	I ’d sooner'a'died than slep'in that room again! ” “ See a ghost? ” asked Bruce, flippantly.
nyp.33433076073919	I'd be willing to try it, too. ” “ What other manifestations have you experi- enced? ” asked Braye.
nyp.33433076073919	I'd like to graduate every year! ” “ Are n't you going to school any more at all? ” “ Dunno yet.
nyp.33433076073919	I'll try to make it speak, and maybe I'll get a line on the voice. ” “ Was it a man or a woman? ” “ I could n't tell.
nyp.33433076073919	I've always heard that departed souls bitterly resent scoffing, or merely curious investigation. ” “ But why choose those two?
nyp.33433076073919	I42 The Room with the Tassels “ Poison? ” repeated Landon, dazedly.
nyp.33433076073919	I59 “ Have you any definite suspect? ” “ I do n't say as I have, and I do n't say as I ai n’t.
nyp.33433076073919	If he could be convinced, as we are, of the existence of phantoms, and of their visitations, he'd be a splendid help, would n't he?
nyp.33433076073919	If the ha'nt began moving her candlestick around the first night, what may she not do next?
nyp.33433076073919	If we could get some messages from the beyond, that would satisfy me. ” “ Get messages how? ” asked Braye.
nyp.33433076073919	If you ever do it, Professor, may n't I go with you? ” “ I ’ll go along, ” said Eve.
nyp.33433076073919	In some awfully clever way, that ca n't be traced to him, d'y'see?
nyp.33433076073919	Indeed, what else could it have been?
nyp.33433076073919	Is n't it stunning?
nyp.33433076073919	Is there any cause or agent that will work as quickly as that? ” “ I know of none, ” replied Doctor Wayburn, positively.
nyp.33433076073919	It could n't be heart disease in a child of sixteen! ” “ No, ” mused Braye, “ and yet, what could it have been?
nyp.33433076073919	It is incredible that it should have been a case of sudden fright that proved fatal, and yet, what other theory is there?
nyp.33433076073919	It was that what woke me — I hope. ” “ Is there — is there a bed in that room? ” asked the Professor.
nyp.33433076073919	It was this that made him try to do away with the child. ” “ Tracy?
nyp.33433076073919	It's out of the picture! ” “ But will you, as soon as we get back to New York?
nyp.33433076073919	It's such a hard habit to break, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076073919	Let's talk of pleasanter subjects. ” “ What, for instance? ” “ You, for instance!
nyp.33433076073919	Marvellous work on these doors, eh?
nyp.33433076073919	May I go, Uncle Gifford?
nyp.33433076073919	May n't I, Eve?
nyp.33433076073919	May she not have been hysterically nervous, and imagined the whole thing?
nyp.33433076073919	Miss Carnforth told me all that, I ’ve talked a lot with her. ” “ You ’ve talked with all of them, have n't you? ” “ Yes, indeed.
nyp.33433076073919	Mr. Bruce had taken part of his tea, and had eaten part of his cake, xx “ Are you sure of this? ” the coroner interrupted.
nyp.33433076073919	Mr. Tracy, your profession wo n't interfere with your having a jolly time, will it?
nyp.33433076073919	Murdered? ” “ Yes, Eve.
nyp.33433076073919	Never've I seen her like! ” “ Did she trouble you? ” “ Land, no, ma'am!
nyp.33433076073919	No faked- up spectres would go down with me! ” “ But how can you know? ” asked Milly.
nyp.33433076073919	No, thank you, I've seen such often. ” “ What would you choose as an experience? ” asked Landon.
nyp.33433076073919	Now shall we decide to take this Mont- gomery place? ” “ Oh, no, we ca n’t decide positively.
nyp.33433076073919	Now, I hold that poison was taken into Mr. Bruce's stomach while he was eating that cake, or whatever he did eat. ” Was It Supernatural?
nyp.33433076073919	Now, can we?
nyp.33433076073919	Now, girls, want to select your rooms? ” “ Y- Yes, ” began Eve, bravely, and then a glance up the dark staircase made her shudder.
nyp.33433076073919	Now, who did do it? ” “ Well, who did? ” “ We do n't know yet, and we must n't theorize without data, you know. ” “ Rats!
nyp.33433076073919	Now, who did do it? ” “ Well, who did? ” “ We do n't know yet, and we must n't theorize without data, you know. ” “ Rats!
nyp.33433076073919	Now, you were a tricksy Puck, were n't you, when you moved the old battered candlestick that first night?
nyp.33433076073919	Oh, do you do that, too? ” she added, as Eve bit her lip in annoyance.
nyp.33433076073919	Or Vernie, any- way?
nyp.33433076073919	Professor, are you answered? ” “ And remember, ” put in Tracy, “ the two were the width of this hall apart.
nyp.33433076073919	Say we try it? ” “ I ’m going to take Norma, ”.insisted Milly.
nyp.33433076073919	Say, Eve, wo n't you take Milly down to- night?
nyp.33433076073919	Shall us? ” “ No, indeed! ” cried Eve.
nyp.33433076073919	Shall you send Mr. Bruce's body to Chicago, and stay here your- self, Rudolph? ” “ Yes, as I look at it now.
nyp.33433076073919	She came nearer and — and I saw her face — and — ” “ Well? ” “ And it was a skull!
nyp.33433076073919	She is so anxious for you. ” “ For me? ” “ Yes; you know Eve — cares a great deal for you. ” “ Hush, dear, you're not yourself to- day.
nyp.33433076073919	She ought to have a woman to look after her, now she's out of school. ” “ Well, what's the matter with Milly?
nyp.33433076073919	She's a sensitive, or whatever you call it, and she'll help you out, Eve. ” “ Why make the party any larger? ” asked Eve, a little petulantly.
nyp.33433076073919	She's subjugated you, has she?
nyp.33433076073919	Spooks?
nyp.33433076073919	Tell me again, just where were you all? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076073919	That Mr.—that the owner tricked us? ” “ That's for you to find out.
nyp.33433076073919	That's my motto:'Spect the Spectrel How's that?
nyp.33433076073919	That's what it is. ” “ Who done it, then? ” demanded his wife.
nyp.33433076073919	The Room with the Tassels taken away through the revolving column, what else could have been done with it?
nyp.33433076073919	The Room with the Tassels this house, until we are all exonerated from sus- picion. ” “ Not even me? ” asked Milly, tearfully.
nyp.33433076073919	The draperies were long and full, and the skull- mask covered the face. ” “ Did n't you see the hand? ” “ It was lost in the draped shawl.
nyp.33433076073919	The house is too securely locked for that, as we all know. ” “ Why should any one want to? ” queried Braye, his face blank with amazement.
nyp.33433076073919	The instrument he used, we have reason to think, was a steel pen. ” “ Why do you think that? ” asked Professor Hardwick.
nyp.33433076073919	The tea was all right when she fixed Mr. Bruce's cup. ” “ Then who tampered with it?
nyp.33433076073919	There was nothing wrong about the tea, of that I'm certain, ” Was It Supernatural?
nyp.33433076073919	Therefore you must look further for his motive. ” “ Did he receive any bequest from Mr. Bruce's will? ” asked Hardwick, wonderingly.
nyp.33433076073919	They ai n't none of'em implicated, and why let'em know what's goin'on? ” “ That's right, ” said Zizi.
nyp.33433076073919	Think so? ” “ Yes, unless we can get a photograph, or some sort of a plan of the place.
nyp.33433076073919	Unless you want to go, Wynne? ” “ No, ” said Landon, “ it ’s better for you, Ru- dolph.
nyp.33433076073919	Was It Supernatural?
nyp.33433076073919	Was some one at the door?
nyp.33433076073919	Was this gentleman in robust health? ” “ Entirely so, ” said Landon, “ so far as we know.
nyp.33433076073919	We have yet to prove it, but I have evidence enoug xx “ Where is he? ” said Hardwick, abruptly.
nyp.33433076073919	We saw it through the window, do n't you remember, Norma? ” “ I do,>> “ Then that was Mr. Tracy's doings also, ” de- clared Wise.
nyp.33433076073919	Well, I thought then, and I think now, that Stebbins moved that thing himself. ” “ Why? ” asked several voices at once.
nyp.33433076073919	Well, do n't that smell prove somethin’? ” “ It is n't actual proof, ” and Tracy looked thought- ful.
nyp.33433076073919	Well, have you candles? ”- “ Half a dozen. ” “ And three candlesticks, I suppose!
nyp.33433076073919	Well, why do n't you investigate?
nyp.33433076073919	Were n't you fright- ened? ” “ Not a bit.
nyp.33433076073919	What do you mean by rub- bish? ” “ Why, all this ghost gabble — ” “ How do you know it's rubbish?
nyp.33433076073919	What do you mean by rub- bish? ” “ Why, all this ghost gabble — ” “ How do you know it's rubbish?
nyp.33433076073919	What do you think? ” “ I am a complete convert to the supernatural.
nyp.33433076073919	What else can explain it? ” “ Nothing that I know of, but I ca n't swallow the idea of a disembodied spirit making off with a real, material body!
nyp.33433076073919	What else? ” “ Yes, and the message was that two of'em ’d die, and two of'em did, ” added Stebbins.
nyp.33433076073919	What had happened?
nyp.33433076073919	What had killed two strong, well, able- bodied people at the same moment, and that the very moment said to be fatal in that dread house?
nyp.33433076073919	What have you done with her? ” “ Hush, Hester!
nyp.33433076073919	What is it, dear? ” and Eve Carnforth came over to the excited child.
nyp.33433076073919	What means could have been employed? ” “ What means were employed, anyway? ” said Norma.
nyp.33433076073919	What means could have been employed? ” “ What means were employed, anyway? ” said Norma.
nyp.33433076073919	What more can any one ask? ” Tracy mused over this.
nyp.33433076073919	What possible cause could a human being have to wish harm to little Vernie Reid? ” “ That's true, Miss Cameron.
nyp.33433076073919	What say, Braye? ” “ I quite agree with you, Tracy.
nyp.33433076073919	What's the matter with you people?
nyp.33433076073919	What's the matter with you?
nyp.33433076073919	When are you going down, Wynne? ” “ I do n't know, dear.
nyp.33433076073919	Where is she? ” » What Happened to Zizi 243 the group, every member of which turned to see her.
nyp.33433076073919	Where is this place, Landon? ” “ The post- office is East Dryden.
nyp.33433076073919	Where was Mr. Tracy sitting? ” “ Right here, where I am now, ” said Norma, thinking back.
nyp.33433076073919	Where's Mr. Stebbins, does anybody know? ” “ I ’ll dig him up, ” Landon assured them.
nyp.33433076073919	Where's a ghost?
nyp.33433076073919	Who administered it? ” “ As I said, ” resumed the coroner, “ it ’s a strange case.
nyp.33433076073919	Who knew that ghosts must be forthcoming, if you folks was to be satisfied?
nyp.33433076073919	Who performed ghost doings him- self, in order that you might not be disappointed? ” “ What are you implying?
nyp.33433076073919	Who performed ghost doings him- self, in order that you might not be disappointed? ” “ What are you implying?
nyp.33433076073919	Who? ” “ Zizi.
nyp.33433076073919	Why are you all so surprised?
nyp.33433076073919	Why did II8 The Room with the Tassels the spirits want to kill them?
nyp.33433076073919	Why not, then, in bad spirits and their power to do evil? ” “ Let up, Milly, ” begged Landon, who stood near by.
nyp.33433076073919	Why not?
nyp.33433076073919	Why, jest fºr in- stance, now, how could it'a'been done? ” “ Now how can I tell that! ” Thorpe spoke with fine scorn.
nyp.33433076073919	Will you all agree? ” “ Splendid! ” cried Eve, “ of course we will.
nyp.33433076073919	Will you go, Milly? ” “ I did want to, Wynne, when I was upstairs.
nyp.33433076073919	Will you really stay here a while?
nyp.33433076073919	Will you stay, Norma?
nyp.33433076073919	Will you, Milly?
nyp.33433076073919	Will you, Norma — darling? ” “ Wait till then, and we'll see, ” was all the answer he could get.
nyp.33433076073919	Wise can prove the contrary, we want him to do so, do n't we, Rudolph? ” “ Of course, Norma, we all feel that way.
nyp.33433076073919	Wise to come? ” she said, without preamble.
nyp.33433076073919	Wise, that Zizi's experience was truthfully related?
nyp.33433076073919	Wise?
nyp.33433076073919	Wise? ” asked Professor Hard- wick, eagerly.
nyp.33433076073919	Wise? ” “ I did not say that, but I have him under such surveillance that he can not get away.
nyp.33433076073919	Wise? ” “ I never did, Miss Carnforth, I never hope to see one!
nyp.33433076073919	Wise? ” “ Yes, Mrs. Landon, there is no doubt at all.
nyp.33433076073919	Wo n't you, dearest? ” “ Bad boy!
nyp.33433076073919	Would n't that be a lark? ” “ Oh, do! ” exclaimed Vernie.
nyp.33433076073919	Yes, I know, but it wo n't go down, old chap — ” “ The prussic acid wo n't? ” and Landon chuckled.
nyp.33433076073919	Yes, dead in a second, I should say. ” “ And — Vernie? ” Braye spoke with difficulty.
nyp.33433076073919	You did n't do it yourself, did you, Vernie? ” “ No, Professor, ” and the pure truthful gaze of the brown eyes left no room for disbelief.
nyp.33433076073919	You did n't do it, did you, Uncle? ” “ I ’ve told you I did n’t, Rudolph, and I again repeat my word.
nyp.33433076073919	You do n't suspect one of us, do you? ” “ No, Mr. Landon, I do n't.
nyp.33433076073919	You have a real soul, have n't you, although it is im- material?
nyp.33433076073919	You hear me? ” “ Yes, sir, ” and shrugging his shoulders, the man disappeared among the shadows in the back of the hall.
nyp.33433076073919	You know these fatalities could n't have been caused by a ghost! ” “ What, then? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076073919	You're sure about the serv- ants? ” “ Absolutely, they could n't get through. ” “ What about Stebbins?
nyp.33433076073919	You're sure about the serv- ants? ” “ Absolutely, they could n't get through. ” “ What about Stebbins?
nyp.33433076073919	You've helped me a little — ” “ Do you suspect anybody?
nyp.33433076073919	You, Professor, would never have been convinced by hearsay evidence, would you? ” “ No, sir, I would not!
nyp.33433076073919	and you, Mr. Tracy? ” “ Oh, I ca n't! ” Milly moaned.
nyp.33433076073919	if spirits did kill them? ” “ For interfering with this haunted house,_in a frivolous and flippant way.
nyp.33433076073919	up here, ca n't you?
nyp.33433076073919	“ A secret entrance, you mean? ” “ Yes'm.
nyp.33433076073919	“ And is n't it? ” Zizi flashed back, her big eyes sparkling like liquid jet.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Any remarks? ” “ Do n’t be flippant, Wynne, ” said Braye, seri- ously, “ of course, I've thought of that.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Are you a pessimist, little one? ” asked the Pro- fessor, studying the clever, eerie face.
nyp.33433076073919	“ But what other atrocity had you in mind? ” “ Do n’t lose your temper, please, ” the Professor said, mildly.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Ca n't we go home, Wynne? ” “ Very soon, darling.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Do you enjoy them? ” “ Oh, do n't Il"cried Vernie.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Give them a jolt, they need it, talking such rubbish! ” “ Rubbish, Bruce?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Has she been there all the time? ” she said.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Hello, Cousin Rudolph, what are you doing here?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Hester, which is the pleasantest room in the house?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Hester?'
nyp.33433076073919	“ How could any mortal human bein ’ bring that about?
nyp.33433076073919	“ How'd you know? ” “ How could I help knowing! ” and Eve's voice rang out like a clarion.
nyp.33433076073919	“ I need n't, need I, Wynne? ” “ No; darling, not if you do n't want to.
nyp.33433076073919	“ I ’m at my best in white linen in the summer time, but what about laundry?
nyp.33433076073919	“ I'd rather think they were killed by that ghost than by a person, would n't you? ” “ What do you mean, Milly?
nyp.33433076073919	“ I'd rather think they were killed by that ghost than by a person, would n't you? ” “ What do you mean, Milly?
nyp.33433076073919	“ I, too, have read a lot of books — ” “ Scientific or psychic? ” interrupted Mr. Bruce, acidly.
nyp.33433076073919	“ It ai n't a means that any one could discover. ” “ Then how did the criminal find it out? ” de- manded Eve.
nyp.33433076073919	“ It wo n't, ” said Zizi, reassuringly, “ it wo n't, Mrs. Landon. ” “ How do you know? ” said Eve, a bit abruptly.
nyp.33433076073919	“ It's gone! ” he said, reappearing, “ Vernie's body is gone! ” “ Impossible! ” cried Landon, “ what do you mean?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Land sake! ” exclaimed Stebbins, coming in, “ you goin'to use that candlstick?
nyp.33433076073919	“ May n't I, Wynne? ” “ Take anything or anybody you wish, my cher- ished one.
nyp.33433076073919	“ No, I never seen her. ” “ Heard her? ” asked Braye.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Oh, Eve, I told you so! ” At Four o’Clock 95 “ What, Vernie?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Oh, Wynne, why did we ever come? ” “ Now, now, ” cheered Braye, “ keep your heads, it's all right.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Oh, did you do it? ” “ Do what? ” and in his hastily donned bath robe, old Mr. Bruce appeared.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Oh, did you do it? ” “ Do what? ” and in his hastily donned bath robe, old Mr. Bruce appeared.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Oh, ” cried Eve, “ what has happened? ” “ I do n't know, ” and Tracy's voice shook.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Open that door, the other one,—let us in l ’ ” “ Go on in, who's henderin'you? ” and the indif- ferent host stepped out of the way.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Shall we leave the door between open? ” Tracy asked, more out of consideration for the Professor's nerves than his own.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Such a drug is not available to the general public, is it? ” “ It is not, sir, but whoever gave it to him, must have procured it somehow.
nyp.33433076073919	“ The crowd here now seems just right and congenial and all that. ” 24 The Room with the Tassels “ Why lug in Norma? ” said Braye, smiling.
nyp.33433076073919	“ The doctors through yet? ” he asked; “ what they found out? ” “ No, they're not through yet, ” answered Lan- don.
nyp.33433076073919	“ The doctors through yet? ” he asked; “ what they found out? ” “ No, they're not through yet, ” answered Lan- don.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Then you think the two people were mur- dered? ” asked Landon of the county physician.
nyp.33433076073919	“ This is the room — isn’t it? ” she breathed, and her hand slowly fell from the knob and hung loosely at her side.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Was n't that Vernie's voice? ” “ Yes, Uncle Gif, ” Vernie called out.
nyp.33433076073919	“ We've bought out the whole of East Dryden! ” Milly exclaimed, “ and what do you think?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Well, she's a handful, all right, but I do n't believe she'd go so far's to kill anybody. ” “ You do n’t, do n't you?
nyp.33433076073919	“ What about it? ” cried Norma, eagerly, run- ning to Eve's room.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What about servants? ” he asked, after the main details had been explained to him.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What are you doing with it? ” asked Landon, in amazement.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What child?
nyp.33433076073919	“ What do you mean by expect, child?
nyp.33433076073919	“ What do you mean by ghastly? ” began the Professor, and Tracy laughed.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What do you mean? ” “ Scribble notes, and pass'em to somebody.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What have you heard? ” “ Mostly groans — ” “ And hollow laughter, ” interrupted Bruce.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What is it, ” he asked, “ did you call?
nyp.33433076073919	“ What is it? ” whispered Eve.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What rooms you want? ” she asked, uninter- estedly.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What shall I do with Milly? ” he groaned.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What shall you do now? ” “ I think I'll send Uncle Gif's body, at once, and hope to find Vernie's later.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What sort of poison?
nyp.33433076073919	“ What were you talking about when we came in? ” Vernie asked, smiling at Milly.
nyp.33433076073919	“ What's the matter? ” asked Gifford Bruce.
nyp.33433076073919	“ When can we go, Wynne? ” “ I do n't know, dear.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Where could he get it? ” asked the Professor.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Where's that child? ” she demanded as Eve opened the door to her loud knock.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Where? ” “ Toward Eli Stebbins.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Who done it, and how?
nyp.33433076073919	“ Who else wants to stay? ”.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Who was pushing that board? ” the coroner asked.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Why do I? ” Norma repeated in a soft signifi- ca nt tone.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Why do you look at me like that, Norma? ” she asked, shortly.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Wo n't I do? ” said Tracy's quiet voice, and Eve pulled herself together and smiled at him.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Yes, and who gave you those reasons?
nyp.33433076073919	“ You are afraid he'll suspect Wynne,—aren't you? ” “ Do n’t, Milly, ” urged Braye, “ do n’t say such things! ” “ You are!
nyp.33433076073919	“ You do that, Professor, wo n't you? ” “ Oh, I ca n't! ” and Hardwick fell limply into a chair.
nyp.33433076073919	“ You folks here? ” he said, a bit unnecessarily.
nyp.33433076073919	“ You like this place? ” asked Tracy, with a glance at the black grove of aspens, and their dark reflection in the still water of the deep pool.
nyp.33433076073919	“ Yours truly, “ ELIJAH STEBBINs. ” “ Sounds good to me; what do you think, Ru- dolph? ” said Landon.
nyp.33433076060254	- “ What do you mean — myself? ” he stammered hoarsely.
nyp.33433076060254	130 DOORS OF THE NIGHT was the man whose personality had been so strangely thrust upon him, Billy Kane?
nyp.33433076060254	262 DOORS OF THE NIGHT “ Youse have been out hittin'de can, have youse? ” snarled the Cherub.
nyp.33433076060254	66 DOORS OF THE NIGHT “ You ’ve made a mistake, Marco, have n't you? ” he in- quired coolly.
nyp.33433076060254	86 DOORS OF THE NIGHT “ Get it, Red? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076060254	A grimmer warning?
nyp.33433076060254	A trap? ” “ No- an experiment, ” she said evenly.
nyp.33433076060254	A warning?
nyp.33433076060254	Above all — why?
nyp.33433076060254	Ai n't either of youse got a torch?
nyp.33433076060254	Am I right — or wrong, Billy? ” “ Well; yes, sir — I suppose you're right, ” Billy Kane answered.
nyp.33433076060254	Am I right? ” “ Where else would I be? ” said the officer gruffly.
nyp.33433076060254	Am I right? ” “ Where else would I be? ” said the officer gruffly.
nyp.33433076060254	And besides, in that case, what was Karlin's, and Red Vallon's, and the underworld's interest in the matter?
nyp.33433076060254	And if they were out there, why did n't they come in?
nyp.33433076060254	And so you think that letter means someone has it in for you?
nyp.33433076060254	And suppose that some additional clue pointing 18 DOORS OF THE NIGHT to you is left on the scene of the robbery?
nyp.33433076060254	And the Rat — who was the Rat?
nyp.33433076060254	And then Karlin's voice: “ Who ’s there?
nyp.33433076060254	And then what?
nyp.33433076060254	And then, recovering a little of his self- control: “ Who are you?
nyp.33433076060254	And what are you butting in here for 2 What's your game to say I did that? ” He jerked his hand toward the safe.
nyp.33433076060254	And what good could the executor- ship do Karlin?
nyp.33433076060254	And what was its meaning?
nyp.33433076060254	And why?
nyp.33433076060254	And why?
nyp.33433076060254	And would you mind locking the front door when you go out?
nyp.33433076060254	And, begging your pardon again, sir, would you mind if we did n't stand here?
nyp.33433076060254	Answer me that — did you give it to him? ” The woman had risen from her chair, and was swaying upon her feet.
nyp.33433076060254	Are there any more rôles in your repertoire?
nyp.33433076060254	Are you coming across without getting hurt, or are n't you? ” Billy Kane was moving softly toward the inner door.
nyp.33433076060254	Are you sure fire on the witnesses to that will?
nyp.33433076060254	Are you trying to make a fool of me? ” “ No, no! ” she cried.
nyp.33433076060254	Barloff, eh?
nyp.33433076060254	Blast youse, could n't youse wait a few hours more?
nyp.33433076060254	But Red Vallon and his pack were not to get it, were they?
nyp.33433076060254	But Vetter and Vetter's diamonds were extraneous things just now, were n't they?
nyp.33433076060254	But afterwards — if he went on — the crimes that Red Vallon and Karlin and their con- federates would plot, and that he would know of what then?
nyp.33433076060254	But did he tell you at supper that I had discharged him this afternoon?
nyp.33433076060254	But the Wop was innocent this time and — Was that a sound there from somewhere in front of him?
nyp.33433076060254	But the latter consideration is at an end now, is n't it, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	But what do you make of it, Billy? ” “ It's object is obvious enough, ” Billy Kane replied sav- agely.
nyp.33433076060254	But what on earth are you doing out here, Jackson? ” he demanded a little sharply.
nyp.33433076060254	But what then had been Laverto's object in bringing Whitie Jack into it at all?
nyp.33433076060254	But where is he?
nyp.33433076060254	But why?
nyp.33433076060254	But you are not surprised, eh?
nyp.33433076060254	But you do not like them, do you — Bundy? ” She moved suddenly across the room, back to the secret door through which she had entered.
nyp.33433076060254	Ca n't you read? ” Karlin had forgotten his beard.
nyp.33433076060254	Could they hear outside there?
nyp.33433076060254	Dat guy Kane is some slick gazabol Say, d'youse get it, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	Dat's wot I get mine for — a century note — see?
nyp.33433076060254	Dere wo n't be nobody around here till youse says so — youse know dat, do n't youse?
nyp.33433076060254	Did you follow Red Vallon in here to tell me the same thing again? ” She did not answer for a moment.
nyp.33433076060254	Did you give it to him — eh?
nyp.33433076060254	Do we play fer table stakes, or hedge de bets? ” It was coming now, as Billy Kane had known inevitably that it would come.
nyp.33433076060254	Do you THE BACK ROOM AT JERRY'S 121 understand?
nyp.33433076060254	Do you know where that secretary guy, Billy Kane, is?
nyp.33433076060254	Do you know who that man is? ” Red Vallon shook his head.
nyp.33433076060254	Do you take me for a fool?
nyp.33433076060254	Do you think I do not recognize it?
nyp.33433076060254	Do you think I'm going to let anything queer me on my share of half a million?
nyp.33433076060254	Do you understand?
nyp.33433076060254	Eh?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	Get the idea? ” “ Leave it to me! ” said the chauffeur.
nyp.33433076060254	Go on, give us de dope? ” Shaky Liz preened herself.
nyp.33433076060254	Got any money? ” — XXI — WITHOUT MERCY the other end of the alleyway, removed his mask, — ” and stepped out on the sidewalk.
nyp.33433076060254	Had he ever laid claim to being callous?
nyp.33433076060254	Had it moved inward a bare fraction of an inch, as it had that other night?
nyp.33433076060254	Had she heard?
nyp.33433076060254	Had the Mole in some way outwitted Red Vallon?
nyp.33433076060254	Had they heard out there?
nyp.33433076060254	Had they heard?
nyp.33433076060254	Have you got anywhere to- day?
nyp.33433076060254	He could not tell her that he was not the Rat, could he?
nyp.33433076060254	He did n't tell them what the paper was, and they did n't know — see?
nyp.33433076060254	He had accepted the absent Rat's personality, why not the absent Rat's hospitality?
nyp.33433076060254	He had heard her running away out there, had n't he?
nyp.33433076060254	He has run away now — eh — with all he could get?
nyp.33433076060254	He remem- bered the extraordinary agility the other had showed two nights ago — and why was the shaft of the crutch detachable?
nyp.33433076060254	He's white, he is"“ Do you know where he lives? ” inquired Billy Kane crisply.
nyp.33433076060254	Here? ” It was a moment before Billy Kane answered.
nyp.33433076060254	How had it got there?
nyp.33433076060254	How long do you think this disturbance is going on, before the police butt in?
nyp.33433076060254	How long since there's been any monkeying with what I dope out? ” “ Do n’t get sore, Bundy, ” said Red Vallon appeasingly.
nyp.33433076060254	How long you been cultivating the old Dutch- man, and waiting for something worth while like to- night to break loose?
nyp.33433076060254	How many men had entered here, yes, and women too — and disappeared?
nyp.33433076060254	How?
nyp.33433076060254	I can trust you two, because”—Billy Kane's smile was un- happy—“if anything leaks, I'll know where it leaked from 1 Get the idea?
nyp.33433076060254	I guess I got a right to a drink now, ai n't I? ” The Cherub warded off her attack with a vicious sweep of his fist.
nyp.33433076060254	I have not much, very little, very, very little, but I am an old man, and what would become of me if I lost my little?
nyp.33433076060254	I lost my coat. ” “ Nothin’ doin’? ” said Whitie Jack complacently.
nyp.33433076060254	I suppose youse came along to make sure dat we earned yer money, eh, an ’ dat dere would n't be no fluke about her bein ’ bumped off fer keeps?
nyp.33433076060254	I think you quite understand what that means, do n't you, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	I told you I had some- thing, Red — didn't I? ” Red Vallon hitched sideways in his chair, his head thrust forward.
nyp.33433076060254	I was his attorney too — see?
nyp.33433076060254	I would n't have opened up if I ’d been bluffing, would I?
nyp.33433076060254	I'm willing to split. ” “ D'ye hear that, Birdie? ” jeered Red Vallon, with a nasty laugh.
nyp.33433076060254	In Heaven's name, who was the Rat?
nyp.33433076060254	Is it not so, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	It is the letter that you want! ” “ And perhaps you will get it for us? ” she suggested softly.
nyp.33433076060254	It was very strange, horribly strange — to find Peters murdered'Who was it, who had done it?
nyp.33433076060254	It would look pretty black for you, Billy, would it not?
nyp.33433076060254	It's a stall — savvy?
nyp.33433076060254	It's rich, is n't it?
nyp.33433076060254	Let us forget them?
nyp.33433076060254	Maybe he has stolen from you, too, eh? ” The woman did not answer.
nyp.33433076060254	Merxler?
nyp.33433076060254	More than one?
nyp.33433076060254	Mr. Dayler and myself will be here at that time — and so will you. ” 194 DOORS OF THE NIGHT “ Will I? ” inquired Billy Kane insolently.
nyp.33433076060254	Neat little play, eh, Jerry?
nyp.33433076060254	Now ” — as they obeyed him—“that's the story, is it, Red?
nyp.33433076060254	Or was there any wall at all?
nyp.33433076060254	Savnak was the Mole? ” He lifted his hand and swept it across his eyes.
nyp.33433076060254	Savvy?
nyp.33433076060254	Savvy? ” Billy Kane duplicated the first smoke ring.
nyp.33433076060254	Savvy? ” THE RENDEZVOUS 265 goin’ to do it.
nyp.33433076060254	See? ” She appeared to consider this for a moment.
nyp.33433076060254	See? ” “ You do not need to make any explanation, ” she an- swered evenly.
nyp.33433076060254	Since last night he- What was that?
nyp.33433076060254	So Red Vallon had been in Vetter's, too, had he?
nyp.33433076060254	So he did not tell you, eh, that I discharged him this afternoon because I was sure he was making little stealings from me all the time?
nyp.33433076060254	So those meetings of that cursed directorate of crime had been held at Jerry's, had they?
nyp.33433076060254	So you are back, are you?
nyp.33433076060254	So, it has nothing to do with it, eh?
nyp.33433076060254	Still another entrance?
nyp.33433076060254	Suppose, then, that the vault is found empty some morning?
nyp.33433076060254	Sure, I was cryin'good an'hard den — savvy?
nyp.33433076060254	Tell her that he was Billy Kane?
nyp.33433076060254	That's his mother's picture, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076060254	That's how I knew Well, am I right about the rea- son for you being here alone?
nyp.33433076060254	That's proof enough, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076060254	That's you twenty years ago — eh?
nyp.33433076060254	The Rat was supposed to be away then — see?
nyp.33433076060254	The Rat — and particularly Billy Kane — was not at the moment on speaking terms with the police 1 But was it necessary to steal the diamonds?
nyp.33433076060254	The bank down the street? ” “ Yes, ” she answered.
nyp.33433076060254	The keen, alert 49 50 DOORS OF THE NIGHT — his hand shot out, and pushed the flashlight roughly away — “ take your cursed lamp out of my eyes?
nyp.33433076060254	The man was n’t even lame, was he?
nyp.33433076060254	The underworld looked askance and whispered through the corners of its mouth as it asked the question: Who was the man in the mask?
nyp.33433076060254	There was no need to answer that question, was there — even if he could?
nyp.33433076060254	Therefore, where is he now — Laverto? ” There were beads of sweat on the man's forehead.
nyp.33433076060254	They are not worth one of your notes. ” “ Are they not? ” Savnak's voice seemed tinged with bitterness.
nyp.33433076060254	Things have changed since I ’ve been away — eh?
nyp.33433076060254	This is the Rat's plan — and that ought to be good enough, what?
nyp.33433076060254	Those securities were in my safe an hour ago — how did they get into Karlin's pocket?
nyp.33433076060254	Tumble?
nyp.33433076060254	Under- stand?
nyp.33433076060254	Understand?
nyp.33433076060254	Understand? ” “ Yes, ” said Merxler tersely.
nyp.33433076060254	Upon whom was it that the so- called Mole intended to point suspicion?
nyp.33433076060254	Very well, Bundy — but there is more, is n't there, that the police do not know?
nyp.33433076060254	Was he a fool to take this added risk, when already his own back was against the wall, when already he was in desperate case himself?
nyp.33433076060254	Was he?
nyp.33433076060254	Was it a code that required elaborate and painstaking effort to decipher?
nyp.33433076060254	Was it a code that, with the key in one's possession, one could read at a glance?
nyp.33433076060254	Was it an iron crutch that was the blunt instrument that had caused Peters'death — and David Ellsworth's?
nyp.33433076060254	Was it grim mockery?
nyp.33433076060254	Was it imagination?
nyp.33433076060254	Was it mockery?
nyp.33433076060254	Was that a widening crack along that panel there — or only a shadow flung with taunting malice by the murky light?
nyp.33433076060254	Was that altogether true?
nyp.33433076060254	Was there a way of wits?
nyp.33433076060254	Was there any- thing that she did not know?
nyp.33433076060254	Was there really any question about that, either?
nyp.33433076060254	Was there something that he had not seen, something behind that bald, crude scene which he had witnessed?
nyp.33433076060254	Was there still another guard in front of him?
nyp.33433076060254	We've gone over this ground before, have n't we?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, she had come in through that door before, had n't she, when something was in the wind?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, so am I?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, so am Il Remember! ” There was something malignant, something ominous in that word—“remember. ” Remember what?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, then, where did he get this?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, was it necessary to steal the diamonds?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, we've got your number, ai n't we?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, what happens?
nyp.33433076060254	Well, why not?
nyp.33433076060254	Were they going to stand there and see him shot down — see another murder committed?
nyp.33433076060254	What I want to know is who's got the better chance of grabbing him — us or the police?
nyp.33433076060254	What about the ground floor?
nyp.33433076060254	What about the reports?
nyp.33433076060254	What answer would the Rat have made to her?
nyp.33433076060254	What are you doing here?
nyp.33433076060254	What are you playing at? ” “ Sure! ” mumbled the man.
nyp.33433076060254	What could Karlin hope to gain thereby?
nyp.33433076060254	What did Whitie Jack mean?
nyp.33433076060254	What did it mean, that message she had written and left on the table?
nyp.33433076060254	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076060254	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076060254	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076060254	What did you tell this officer here? ” “ Oh, you are, are you! ” Barloff seemed suddenly re- lieved.
nyp.33433076060254	What do I want done?
nyp.33433076060254	What do you want? ” 238 DOORS OF THE NIGHT He was the Rat, alias Bundy Morgan, in her eyes, and it was the Rat who spoke.
nyp.33433076060254	What effect would that have on Peters?
nyp.33433076060254	What else could an honest man do except what I did?
nyp.33433076060254	What else, indeed, could it be?
nyp.33433076060254	What have you done, you and Birdie, and the rest?
nyp.33433076060254	What is it that you want to- night? ” “ I am coming to the point, ” she answered levelly.
nyp.33433076060254	What is your name?
nyp.33433076060254	What next? ” Whitie Jack gulped down half the contents of his glass.
nyp.33433076060254	What story did this man tell you? ” “ Say, ” said the officer shortly, “ you've got your nerve with you!
nyp.33433076060254	What was Laverto's game?
nyp.33433076060254	What was he doing with them? ” 120 DOORS OF THE NIGHT “ Stoop over! ” said Billy Kane quietly.
nyp.33433076060254	What was it that Peters had had here, that had been the object of such a frantic search?
nyp.33433076060254	What was it that the Rat had done to her, or hers?
nyp.33433076060254	What was she becoming to him?
nyp.33433076060254	What was she to him?
nyp.33433076060254	What was she to the Rat, that she knew the secret of that underground tunnel, and the secret of that door?
nyp.33433076060254	What was the game?
nyp.33433076060254	What was the secret of the power she possessed over him?
nyp.33433076060254	What were they doing here?
nyp.33433076060254	What were they?
nyp.33433076060254	What would that perfect oval face, beautiful even now in its fearless contempt, look like in softer mood?
nyp.33433076060254	What ’s next? ” Billy Kane had involuntarily stepped closer to the table.
nyp.33433076060254	What's all this cursed noise about? ” “ What's it about? ” repeated Red Vallon mechanically.
nyp.33433076060254	What's all this cursed noise about? ” “ What's it about? ” repeated Red Vallon mechanically.
nyp.33433076060254	What's it mean?
nyp.33433076060254	What's the lay? ” “ Five hundred thousand dollars — a half million — cold ” — Billy Kane had lowered his voice.
nyp.33433076060254	What?
nyp.33433076060254	What?
nyp.33433076060254	What?
nyp.33433076060254	What?
nyp.33433076060254	What?
nyp.33433076060254	What? ” Red Vallon's face was working in a sort of anticipatory and avaricious ugliness; Karlin's expression was scarcely less rapacious.
nyp.33433076060254	When did youse blow into town, Bundy? ” “ To- night, ” said Billy Kane.
nyp.33433076060254	When would the Rat return?
nyp.33433076060254	When would the Rat return?
nyp.33433076060254	Where can you go? ” “ I know Gus Moray, that runs the Silver King saloon, ” said the Wop.
nyp.33433076060254	Where was the Rat at this moment?
nyp.33433076060254	Where was the Rat?
nyp.33433076060254	Where was the next wall?
nyp.33433076060254	Whitie Jack had passed the word around of the Rat's return — was this woman one to whom that word had come?
nyp.33433076060254	Who are you?
nyp.33433076060254	Who are you?
nyp.33433076060254	Who else would have gone out by the basement door?
nyp.33433076060254	Who gave you any orders except to stick to the game? ” “ You know, ” said Red Vallon, and pushed a sheet of paper across the table.
nyp.33433076060254	Who had put it there?
nyp.33433076060254	Who knew them?
nyp.33433076060254	Who lives there? ” “ Oh, dere! ” said Whitie Jack somewhat contemptuously.
nyp.33433076060254	Who then?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was it, other than himself, who could have had any motive?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was it, then, who knew that the combinations had been changed?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was it?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was she?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was she?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was the Woman in Black, who, like a Nemesis, hovered over the Rat?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was the man?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was the woman who had crept in here in the darkness through that secret door last night?
nyp.33433076060254	Who was this woman?
nyp.33433076060254	Who'll the boys make'em to?
nyp.33433076060254	Who, then?
nyp.33433076060254	Why Marco's?
nyp.33433076060254	Why did they let him out?
nyp.33433076060254	Why do n't you say Peters, too?
nyp.33433076060254	Why should I?
nyp.33433076060254	Why should he think of Marco's?
nyp.33433076060254	Why, it was one of your own pet schemes, was n't it, Bundy — all worked out quite a while ago?
nyp.33433076060254	Why, then, should he decipher this?
nyp.33433076060254	Why?
nyp.33433076060254	Why?
nyp.33433076060254	Works pretty smooth, eh, Jerry?
nyp.33433076060254	Wot d'ye expect?
nyp.33433076060254	Wot did she say when she comes here dis evening? ” “ Wot did she say? ” repeated Shaky Liz, with a sudden and malicious grin.
nyp.33433076060254	Wot did she say when she comes here dis evening? ” “ Wot did she say? ” repeated Shaky Liz, with a sudden and malicious grin.
nyp.33433076060254	Wot's de idea? ” Nothing perhaps would confirm the man more in his mis- take than an allusion to the common enemy — the police.
nyp.33433076060254	Would it, Bundy? ” He did not answer her.
nyp.33433076060254	Would that be mur- der?
nyp.33433076060254	Would the loathing in those eyes have grown the less at that?
nyp.33433076060254	Would they remember, would she remem- ber that Billy Kane's name was cleared?
nyp.33433076060254	Yes, I see you do?
nyp.33433076060254	Yes, yes, Barloff, that is so, is it not?
nyp.33433076060254	You ai n't sore, are you, Bundy? ” Billy Kane pushed his hat to the back of his head.
nyp.33433076060254	You do n't think I can carry a thing like that in my head forever, do you? ” “ No, ” she said.
nyp.33433076060254	You get the idea, do n't you?
nyp.33433076060254	You quite understand, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	You say that because you are his mother, eh?
nyp.33433076060254	You understand, my boy, do n't you?
nyp.33433076060254	You went down there this afternoon, I believe? ” “ Yes, ” Billy Kane answered — and frowned.
nyp.33433076060254	You will give me back the money?
nyp.33433076060254	You will perhaps remember a somewhat similar occasion once before?
nyp.33433076060254	You're not looking for another five years in Sing Sing, are you? ” The Wop flinched.
nyp.33433076060254	You?
nyp.33433076060254	You? ” Her voice rose, as though suddenly out of control.
nyp.33433076060254	it matter?
nyp.33433076060254	“ A plan? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433076060254	“ A shirt'll do — anything to tear up an ’ make a ban- dage wid, see? ” Billy Kane did not answer.
nyp.33433076060254	“ About to- night?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Ai n’t youse got a pocket torch?
nyp.33433076060254	“ And do n't move — you understand?
nyp.33433076060254	“ And you said I had no proof of this — eh? ” He shook his fist in the direction of the safe.
nyp.33433076060254	“ And you're kind to Peters, are n't you?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Are you sure? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Are you there? ” “ Gawd! ” a voice ejaculated hoarsely.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Are youse sure dere's nothin’ else youse wants, Bundy? ” “ No, that's all, ” said Billy Kane.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Begging your pardon, Mr. Kane, sir, may I speak to you for a moment? ” Billy Kane turned around abruptly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Buck Keats, was n't it, Mr. Dayler?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Bundy, are you listening? ” came the level tones again.
nyp.33433076060254	“ But there's no hurry about it, is there?
nyp.33433076060254	“ But what is the use of memories?
nyp.33433076060254	“ D'ye mean that, Bundy? ” “ Sure, I mean it! ” Billy Kane answered a little curtly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ De bulls — eh?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Did I call de turn? ” “ Maybe he's come down to pay us off, ” suggested Gypsy Joe smoothly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Did Mr. Ellsworth send you here? ” “ No, sir; he did n't, ” the man answered nervously.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Did n't I tell you last night that everything else was piker stuff?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Did you hear me? ” The facetiousness was gone from Billy Kane now.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Do n’t, sir — don't go — they'll get you! ” “ Get — met What do you mean? ” Billy Kane whirled on the man.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Do you get me?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Do you happen to know how much there is here, Mr. Ellsworth? ” he inquired abruptly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Do you remember this? ” he taunted.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Do you think I ’m going to see the biggest thing that was ever pulled slip through my fin- gers?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Does it matter? ” she answered.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Doped? ” He bit off the word.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Get me?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Get the idea?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Have any trouble? ” “ Nix"said the other.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Have you spotted the stones? ” Red Vallon shook his head.
nyp.33433076060254	“ He has- eh?
nyp.33433076060254	“ How d'youse feel now? ” inquired Whitie Jack.
nyp.33433076060254	“ How did you get wise to this? ” he flung out.
nyp.33433076060254	“ How do you know all these things? ” he asked again.
nyp.33433076060254	“ How do you know all this? ” he demanded sharply.
nyp.33433076060254	“ How much did you have, anyway? ” “ How much How much"howled Barloff.
nyp.33433076060254	“ How much did you leave in the safe? ” he inquired crisply.
nyp.33433076060254	“ I am a poor man — how can I pay them over to- morrow when they have been stolen from me to- night, and I have nothing left?
nyp.33433076060254	“ I got de goods, ai n't I?
nyp.33433076060254	“ I was n't pipin'de lay all day for nothin'—wot?
nyp.33433076060254	“ I wonder if it's true, Bundy? ” she said softly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ I wonder wot de Rat had it in fer her fer as hard as dat? ” he said, with a shrug of his shoulders.
nyp.33433076060254	“ I ’ll do nothing of the kind I What's the meaning of this?
nyp.33433076060254	“ I ’ll go. ” An'I says: ‘ An'youse wo n't tell nobody, nor take nobody down dere, so ’s anybody'd know about me little lad's disgrace?'
nyp.33433076060254	“ I ’ll see youse in de mornin ’? ” “ So long, Whitie! ” said Billy Kane.
nyp.33433076060254	“ I ’m not the Wop, am I, Barloff? ” The old man shook his head.
nyp.33433076060254	“ If – if I give you back the money, will you let him go? ” “ Ha! ” Marco stood stock still, staring at her.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Instead of this woman's son being the rob- ber, are you sure it isn't — yourself? ” The man shrank back.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Is money any good to you — unless you live? ” It was Dayler who laughed now, but it was hysterically.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Is that you, Red? ” he demanded harshly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Is what true? ” he demanded gruffly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ My God, ” he whispered hoarsely, “ what does this mean? ” The flashlight was out.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Now, den, ” he said briskly, “ since we ’re satis- fied wid Shaky, we'll get down to tacks — eh?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Only a fight, but someone got hurt in the fight — get me, Whitie?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Say, where do youse keep yer stuff? ” demanded Whitie 54 DOORS OF THE NIGHT Jack.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Say, would a minister do? ” “ It would be an improvement, ” admitted Billy Kane, with a smile.
nyp.33433076060254	“ See? ” “ Yes, ” said Billy Kane.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Shift him? ” snapped Billy Kane curtly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Sing Sing, an ’ de juice route — eh? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Sit down, wo n't you? ” There was a tingle of irony in his voice.
nyp.33433076060254	“ So it was Barloff, was it?
nyp.33433076060254	“ So that's the way you doped it out, is it? ” he said, and laughed raucously.
nyp.33433076060254	“ So you are back, are you?
nyp.33433076060254	“ So you think I may be right, do you? ” There was a twinkle in the blue eyes.
nyp.33433076060254	“ So you've got it, have you? ” jeered the Rat.
nyp.33433076060254	“ So, I'm to queer this game, am I? ” he snarled suddenly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ That's you, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076060254	“ The rentals — all the rentals? ” mumbled Barloff again.
nyp.33433076060254	“ The tenement is next to the café on the corner, eh?
nyp.33433076060254	“ They are true, are n't they? ” “ Yes, they are true. ” His voice was scarcely audible.
nyp.33433076060254	“ They would, eh — the dirty swabs? ” he snarled.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Was it a big one, Bundy? ” “ No, ” said Billy Kane.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well, I got it, then? ” announced the Wop.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well, have you got them here? ” “ Yes. ” He reached into his pocket and took out the chamois pocketbook.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well, it's worth it, is n't it, Billy?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well, let's see?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well, where is he now, then? ” “ I do n't know, ” the woman replied.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well, you'll know what to do with him then, wo n't you? ” he inquired softly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well? ” he challenged.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well? ” prompted the Cherub, a sudden, curious silkiness in his tones.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Well? ” she said curtly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What about the diamonds that were stolen from Vetter? ” “ I ’ve got them, ” he answered shortly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What are you doing here? ” “ You fool! ” snarled Billy Kane angrily.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What do you know about it? ” “ What you could have read for yourself in the paper, ” Billy Kane answered tersely.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What do you mean? ” he questioned in a startled tone.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What do you think I hang onto this hole for? ” “ Sure! ” grunted Red Vallon corroboratingly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What do you think I told you to come here for?
nyp.33433076060254	“ What do you want done, Bundy? ” Karlin was terse.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What do you want me to do? ” There was a lingering sullen note in the Wop's voice.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What have I to do with it? ” he muttered sullenly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What is it, Jackson? ” he demanded still more sharply.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What is it? ” he demanded sharply.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What is it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What is that you say?
nyp.33433076060254	“ What'll you have, Red? ” inquired Billy Kane pleas- antly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What's next, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	“ What's that? ” demanded Karlin sharply.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What's the lay?
nyp.33433076060254	“ What's the matter with pushing a good thing along, Bundy?
nyp.33433076060254	“ What's the matter with you, Jerry — getting nervous waiting? ” said Karlin curtly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What's to become of you if the Rat's found dead? ” The Rat was moving back from the table to the side wall of the den.
nyp.33433076060254	“ What? ” he ejaculated.
nyp.33433076060254	“ When did you get in here? ” he snapped.
nyp.33433076060254	“ When did you see the Wop?
nyp.33433076060254	“ When did youse get back?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Where are the securities? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Where are you? ” A draft of air touched his face.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Where are you? ” he called quickly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Where did you get that? ” he demanded roughly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Where? ” Billy Kane's revolver edged viciously for- ward.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Whitie Jack, eh? ” snapped Billy Kane.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Who are they?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Who in hell are you? ” he demanded gruffly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Who put you wise to this? ” he demanded sullenly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Who ’s there? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Why not?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Will you pay for my safe? ” he demanded abruptly.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Wot're youse for now, Bundy? ” he inquired solicit- ously.
nyp.33433076060254	“ Wot's de idea?
nyp.33433076060254	“ Wot's wrong? ” whispered Whitie Jack anxiously.
nyp.33433076060254	“ You are almost too consideratel ” “ Am I? ” she said.
nyp.33433076060254	“ You ca n't bluff old Marco, whatever you're up to?
nyp.33433076060254	“ You have — eh? ” he said.
nyp.33433076060254	“ You know Marlot's saloon?
nyp.33433076060254	“ You mean the Ellsworth murder — the robbery? ” He was whispering hoarsely.
nyp.33433076060254	“ You mean, Jackson, ” he said hoarsely, “ that you believe I did that? ” The man wriggled himself free from Billy Kane's grip.
nyp.33433076060254	“ You tell me only what a blind man could see for himself Did I not put two and two together myself?
nyp.33433076060254	“ You were looking for THE LAST PORTAL 293 these, were n't you? ” prodded the Rat, with a chuckle.
nyp.33433076060254	“ You ’re an artist, you are What did you expect to get out of a piker hang- out like this? ” “ Aw, forget it! ” returned Whitie Jack.

nyp.33433076041346	Burke?"
nyp.33433076041346	Burke?"
nyp.33433076041346	Burke?"
nyp.33433076041346	But how could he best serve her?
nyp.33433076041346	But how do they aim to get it?"
nyp.33433076041346	But how?
nyp.33433076041346	But how?
nyp.33433076041346	But those fellows searched you and found nothing?"
nyp.33433076041346	But what can we do?
nyp.33433076041346	But what does that mean — the light?
nyp.33433076041346	But what might happen to Zaida Grayson in the meantime?
nyp.33433076041346	But where had these demons hidden her since then?
nyp.33433076041346	But you not satisfy?
nyp.33433076041346	But, Dan, what can we do?"
nyp.33433076041346	CHAPTER XX ON THE FIRE- ESCAPE"Then they are here?"
nyp.33433076041346	Can you figure out from all this why I am held prisoner here?''
nyp.33433076041346	Could it be that she was held for ransom?
nyp.33433076041346	Could the girl make it safely, or would her strained grip relax, her mind fail in the terrible emergency?
nyp.33433076041346	Could they be members of the gang placed on guard over him?
nyp.33433076041346	Cowan, Groggin, has n't either of you got a gun?
nyp.33433076041346	Deed I not plan eet, an'vas she not ze very picture?
nyp.33433076041346	Did he pledge you to keep me prisoner — to hold me helpless in such a den as this — to make the horrid threat I have just listened to?"
nyp.33433076041346	Did he used to live out this way?''
nyp.33433076041346	Did n't any of you see him?"
nyp.33433076041346	Did she do it?"
nyp.33433076041346	Did the paper speak of Cul- lom's death?"
nyp.33433076041346	Did their presence have any connection with his situation?
nyp.33433076041346	Did you think I was blind?
nyp.33433076041346	Do any of the men ever come in your room at night?"
nyp.33433076041346	Do n't I know the stake we're playin'fer?
nyp.33433076041346	Do n't I?
nyp.33433076041346	Do we go?"
nyp.33433076041346	Do yer see them two guys ahead, second seat from the front?
nyp.33433076041346	Do you forget that?''
nyp.33433076041346	Do you hear anything?''
nyp.33433076041346	Do you know how Cullom was killed, and who croaked him?"
nyp.33433076041346	Do you know what is up there?"
nyp.33433076041346	Do you suppose he'd be nosing about here without either a gun or a star if he was after us?
nyp.33433076041346	Do you want me to do this job?"
nyp.33433076041346	Do you want that dance now?"
nyp.33433076041346	Do your friends call you Billy?"
nyp.33433076041346	Does she ride with you often?"
nyp.33433076041346	Done up?"

nyp.33433076041346	FACING ANOTHER TRAGEDY 113"How would you proceed?"
nyp.33433076041346	Following so cold- blooded a crime, would they dare permit her to live, to come forward later and rob them of their ill- gotten loot?

nyp.33433076041346	Hac the girl merely been making a fool of him?
nyp.33433076041346	Had dealings with him?''
nyp.33433076041346	Has not Sefior Almerido ex- plained?"
nyp.33433076041346	Have you an evening paper?
nyp.33433076041346	Have you the strength to stand up?"

nyp.33433076041346	He is an officer of the law, the one who studied out the real cause of Patrick Cullom's mysterious death —""What's his name?"

nyp.33433076041346	He wanted to know where was the old Hartigan house —""You mean Hartigan, the gambler?
nyp.33433076041346	He was killed out here — you remember that, do n't you?
nyp.33433076041346	He'd talk now, would n't he, whatever his purpose was?
nyp.33433076041346	Hey, there, Almerido, bring a light here, will you?
nyp.33433076041346	Honest, Dave, I never left it there?"
nyp.33433076041346	How did you chance to possess this in such a hole?''
nyp.33433076041346	How did you get mixed up with this gang, and what's their graft?"
nyp.33433076041346	How do you know?"
nyp.33433076041346	How far are we from Caspar 1''29 SO THE PATHWAY OF ADVENTURE"Something over a quarter of a mile; want to get off there?"
nyp.33433076041346	How far could he go with her under the guise of friendship?
nyp.33433076041346	How great was her confidence in him?
nyp.33433076041346	How had he convinced Hartigan that the reward would warrant his risking his neck in Chicago once more?
nyp.33433076041346	How is that?
nyp.33433076041346	How long have you been in this house?"
nyp.33433076041346	How many were there?"
nyp.33433076041346	How she be roughneck?"

nyp.33433076041346	I do n't remember these people; how did you get mixed up in the affair?"
nyp.33433076041346	I do n't think I really knew what I did do, but she shoved me into a room and woke up the two men —""Cowan and Groggin?"
nyp.33433076041346	I haf ze way to keel — not you; how eet look, zis knife?
nyp.33433076041346	I half thought he was crazy until last evening.'?

nyp.33433076041346	I pre- sume you never heard of me?"
nyp.33433076041346	I reckon you never heard o'Billy Burke going back on a pal, did you?"

nyp.33433076041346	I suppose you know Cullom is already buried?''
nyp.33433076041346	I told you, did n't I, that Dora got to the old money- grubber all right?
nyp.33433076041346	I was born back of a saloon, an'played with a hard lot ever since I was a kid — you know what I mean?"
nyp.33433076041346	If I just keep my face to the wall, there is no real danger — is there?"
nyp.33433076041346	If he was here you'd tell him, would n't you?
nyp.33433076041346	In this we possess certain advantages —""What, may I ask?"
nyp.33433076041346	In what direction could he ven- ture?
nyp.33433076041346	Indeed, why should she send for him at all?
nyp.33433076041346	Into the next building?"
nyp.33433076041346	Is Murphy with you?''
nyp.33433076041346	Is it not probable that she would consent?
nyp.33433076041346	Is there a raid on?"
nyp.33433076041346	Is this one of your books?"
nyp.33433076041346	Is your grandfather wealthy?''
nyp.33433076041346	It was a job well done; but what next?
nyp.33433076041346	It was n't never settled up much; the street ai n't more than three or four blocks long — is it, Dan?
nyp.33433076041346	It's true, is n't it, old man, that you are interested more than usual in this girl?"
nyp.33433076041346	Know anybody here?''
nyp.33433076041346	Leaning ahead, he spoke to the driver:"Ca n't you get more speed?
nyp.33433076041346	Leave her in the hands of those ruffians all that time?
nyp.33433076041346	Let's call it a bargain, Dora, girl, what do you say?"
nyp.33433076041346	Let's see, what can be done?
nyp.33433076041346	Long as the cops do n't get hands on her, they have n't any call to pinch us — have they?

nyp.33433076041346	Miss Zaida Grayson; is n't that a name for your life?
nyp.33433076041346	No hint of marriage?''
nyp.33433076041346	No other theory appeared so reason- able, considering all the circumstances; and yet on what supposition did Almerido base his hopes?
nyp.33433076041346	Nobody there?
nyp.33433076041346	Nothin'more in the bottle?
nyp.33433076041346	Now, you stay here, an'listen till I say go — see?

nyp.33433076041346	Say, is n't that a bit of a pole over there?"
nyp.33433076041346	Say, where's that dove of yours gone?
nyp.33433076041346	See here, Almerido, ai n't I inter this yere job as deep as you be?

nyp.33433076041346	Should he go alone?
nyp.33433076041346	Should he risk a light?
nyp.33433076041346	Should he seek to explore this interior?
nyp.33433076041346	So he put it over, did he?
nyp.33433076041346	So your friend is a gun, is he?"
nyp.33433076041346	Some fine little old team, eh?"
nyp.33433076041346	Surely you have no intention of dropping the affair?''
nyp.33433076041346	THE END OF A BLIND ALLEY 97''Shall we try the door?
nyp.33433076041346	Tell me, please, who are you?"
nyp.33433076041346	That you was Billy Burke?
nyp.33433076041346	That's good sense, ai n't it?"
nyp.33433076041346	That's the last drink you're takin'; shall we go to bed, or have another game?''
nyp.33433076041346	That's true, is n't it?"
nyp.33433076041346	The Mex?
nyp.33433076041346	The coroner turned in that verdict; yer do n't claim he was croaked, do yer?"
nyp.33433076041346	The creak of a board in the ill- matched floor would sound like a crack of thunder — besides, where could he go in search?
nyp.33433076041346	The cusses emptied all my pockets — what have you got in yours?"
nyp.33433076041346	The girl's safe enough — why do n't you go in and see?"
nyp.33433076041346	The height makes you dizzy?"
nyp.33433076041346	The honest fact is, I like your style, so why should n't I want to kiss you?"
nyp.33433076041346	The question came, why should she have asked this — that he come alone; that he tell no friend of his mission?
nyp.33433076041346	The upper half of my window was lowered; but how can we get down to it?"
nyp.33433076041346	Then I must go with you to the bank and sign those papers?''
nyp.33433076041346	Then the Brennon woman spoke:"You, Grayson, where are you?
nyp.33433076041346	Then the next building is as high as this?"
nyp.33433076041346	Then this is your home?"
nyp.33433076041346	Then what's the matter with me?
nyp.33433076041346	There ai n't been nobody watchin'us — has there?"
nyp.33433076041346	There is no crime you are incapable of commit- ting; what further outrage do you contemplate?''
nyp.33433076041346	There is no other method of procedure — is there?"
nyp.33433076041346	There must be a scuttle leading to the roof?''
nyp.33433076041346	They could not hold her per- petually under guard; yet, if her death also was a part of their program, why was she being spared now?
nyp.33433076041346	This burg?''
nyp.33433076041346	This is, then, the house of your grandfather?''
nyp.33433076041346	Through what means?
nyp.33433076041346	Thus it was learned that what had formerly been known as Odell Place had lately been rechristened Calvert Street — did he know where that was?
nyp.33433076041346	To avoid an inquest?"
nyp.33433076041346	To be sure Wayne had been disposed of; but how had he come into possession of such knowledge?
nyp.33433076041346	Tou said you had something to talk over, an'for me to come up here when I got in — it's about to- morrow, ai n't it?"
nyp.33433076041346	Unconscious?''

nyp.33433076041346	Wait ten days, two weeks, for Stiles to return?
nyp.33433076041346	Was I the only man you left behind you in the Hartigan house?
nyp.33433076041346	Was he after all on the trail of an incident that might later be worked into a novel?
nyp.33433076041346	Was it, may I ask, your idea that maybe Ike was a hanging out in Bat's joint?"
nyp.33433076041346	Was that the conspiracy?
nyp.33433076041346	Was the fellow knifed?"
nyp.33433076041346	Was their scheme one of mere fraud, or did it contemplate even murder?
nyp.33433076041346	Wasn't I in his office?
nyp.33433076041346	Wat you keel with?
nyp.33433076041346	Wayne could have essayed the drop, daring the chance THE FIGHT FOR LIFE 165"Is that so?"
nyp.33433076041346	Wayne?"
nyp.33433076041346	We have callers from New York every once in a while — don't we, papa?
nyp.33433076041346	We'd be fine birds, wouldn't we, to queer all this by killin'somebody, and gettin'every harness- bull in Chi barkin'at us like a pack o'wolves?

nyp.33433076041346	Well, what about the other one?"
nyp.33433076041346	Well,''he insisted,''how is it, Cowan?

nyp.33433076041346	What are you aim- ing at?"

nyp.33433076041346	What did he do after that?"
nyp.33433076041346	What did they sound the buzzer for — a raid?"
nyp.33433076041346	What did you say his age was?"
nyp.33433076041346	What do you know about her?"

nyp.33433076041346	What murder?"
nyp.33433076041346	What questions could he ask, without arousing her suspicion?
nyp.33433076041346	What servants did the old man keep?
nyp.33433076041346	What shall I do?"
nyp.33433076041346	What should he do?

nyp.33433076041346	What soured you on the gang?"
nyp.33433076041346	What steps ought he to take?

nyp.33433076041346	What, man — you never heard of old'Pig Iron'Cullom?
nyp.33433076041346	Whatever sent you into the detective business?

nyp.33433076089964	A waiter, or as you think, Mr. Fairbrother's stew- ard, to be provided with so hard- to- come- by an ar- ticle as this counterpart of a great stone?
nyp.33433076089964	After this, what could be said?
nyp.33433076089964	An unconscious custody, too?
nyp.33433076089964	And could Mr. Smythe expect me to procure him a stone like that?
nyp.33433076089964	And where do you think they have found them?
nyp.33433076089964	And why did he not go on with Mr. Fairbrother when he left home with every apparent intention of accompanying him to the Placide mine?
nyp.33433076089964	And why, having taken it, did he drop it — a diamond sup- posed to be worth an ordinary man's fortune?
nyp.33433076089964	And why?
nyp.33433076089964	Are you afraid the doctor will scold us?
nyp.33433076089964	Are you ready now, sir?
nyp.33433076089964	Are you there?"
nyp.33433076089964	Are you willing to do this?"
nyp.33433076089964	As he turned from me he said:"To- morrow?"
nyp.33433076089964	Be- cause he was startled by a cry he chose to consider the traditional one of his family proclaiming death?
nyp.33433076089964	Because Mr. Durand did?
nyp.33433076089964	Because he's so rich?"
nyp.33433076089964	Besides, where all is sensation, why cavil at one more im- probability?
nyp.33433076089964	But did he mean that he had been her actual slayer?
nyp.33433076089964	But do n't you see that such conduct as this would be preposterous, nay, unparalleled in persons of their distinction?
nyp.33433076089964	But do you feel well enough for me to leave you for a few days?
nyp.33433076089964	But how here?
nyp.33433076089964	But how, with the conditions laid on him by Mr. Grey, was this to be done?
nyp.33433076089964	But may you not meet people at the hotel who know you?"
nyp.33433076089964	But the shaft and the small room at the bottom — where were they?
nyp.33433076089964	But was it one to make me useful in the only way I could be useful now?
nyp.33433076089964	But was this really so?
nyp.33433076089964	But which one?
nyp.33433076089964	But why was it passed up to her unfinished?
nyp.33433076089964	But would he be as prompt to- day?
nyp.33433076089964	By any further explanations, or by what you may consider a discreet silence?"
nyp.33433076089964	Can not that opening be found, and may it not give a clue to the man I saw skulking through it with terror and remorse in his heart?"
nyp.33433076089964	Can one be too happy?
nyp.33433076089964	Could he prevent this?
nyp.33433076089964	Could it be real?
nyp.33433076089964	Could you convict him on those words?"
nyp.33433076089964	Did I feel elated?
nyp.33433076089964	Did I not know?
nyp.33433076089964	Did he even mean to return at all?
nyp.33433076089964	Did he fear the person he was going to meet, or were his plans such as involved a much longer stay than he had mentioned?
nyp.33433076089964	Did he intend to re- turn, or had I been the unconscious witness of a flight?
nyp.33433076089964	Did he realize that a crisis was approaching, that danger menaced him, and from me?
nyp.33433076089964	Did it shine with as much brZliancy in your hand when you received it back as when you passed it OTCT?"
nyp.33433076089964	Did you feel the need of two pairs, that you carry another in that pretty bag hanging from your arm?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do n't you know some little room?
nyp.33433076089964	Do n't you see I am gaining every day?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do n't you think we can escape by the window over there?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do we live, move, breathe at certain moments?
nyp.33433076089964	Do you expect me to?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do you mind re- 68 ANSON DURAND moving that handkerchief for a moment?
nyp.33433076089964	Do you mind showing me those, a finger of which I see?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do you refer to the friend you left sitting on the divan opposite?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do you remember Jones, the caterer, who had only two or three facts to give and yet who used up the whole afternoon in trying to state those facts?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do you remember that old story in the Reader?
nyp.33433076089964	Do you see my difficulty, Miss Van Arsdale?
nyp.33433076089964	Do you think he is planning to es- cape?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do you think her very handsome?"
nyp.33433076089964	Do you think it wise to stay on here?
nyp.33433076089964	Do you wonder that I shrink from this note of warning, and show myself something less than a man under its influence?
nyp.33433076089964	Durand?"
nyp.33433076089964	Durand?"
nyp.33433076089964	Durand?"
nyp.33433076089964	Expect trouble if — If what?
nyp.33433076089964	Fairbrother?"
nyp.33433076089964	For Mr. Durand to leave this lady's presence?
nyp.33433076089964	Grey — see you?"
nyp.33433076089964	Had I been wrong, then, in attributing this scrawl to her?
nyp.33433076089964	Had I gone too far?
nyp.33433076089964	Had he been taken ill before or after he left Colorado for New Mexico?
nyp.33433076089964	Had he detected me playing a part, or were such doubts as he displayed the product simply of his own uneasiness?
nyp.33433076089964	Had he hoped to entrap Mr. Durand into sonoe damaging admission?
nyp.33433076089964	Had my fanciful interpretation of what I had seen reached him with the conviction it had me?
nyp.33433076089964	Had my presumption transgressed all bounds and would he show a very natural anger?
nyp.33433076089964	Had not Anson qualities as excellent in their way, rights as certain, and a hold upon myself superior to any claims which another might advance?
nyp.33433076089964	Had not the inspector himself advised me to go?
nyp.33433076089964	Had you not better get your wraps so as to be ready to go as soon as he gives the word?"
nyp.33433076089964	Has she that book?"
nyp.33433076089964	Have n't you noticed it?
nyp.33433076089964	Have you brought the mail and those medicines I sent for?"
nyp.33433076089964	Have you not heard how he loved her?
nyp.33433076089964	Have you not noticed that he is not dressed in all respects like the other gentlemen present?
nyp.33433076089964	Have you not noticed this, and asked yourself why?"
nyp.33433076089964	Have you observed it?"
nyp.33433076089964	He is known as a collector, and when a man has a passion for dia- mond- getting —""He is known as a collector?"
nyp.33433076089964	He was thought to be in the eastern states, or south or west, and he was here; but why here?
nyp.33433076089964	He would not say in a week; that was perhaps too 14 THE WOMAN WITH THE DIAMOND soon; but in a month?
nyp.33433076089964	He would not —"Why that peculiar look in the inspector's eye?
nyp.33433076089964	Her figure would be plain to any one outside, and if she moved and the dia- mond shone — Do n't you see what a probable theory it is?
nyp.33433076089964	How can you bring it about?"
nyp.33433076089964	How could I live in inaction?
nyp.33433076089964	How could I recover it?
nyp.33433076089964	How could I tell the inspector, if ever I should be so happy or so miserable as to meet his eye again?
nyp.33433076089964	How could any one climb to such a height, lif t the win- dow and step in without being seen?"
nyp.33433076089964	How could you expect me to weigh for a moment this for- eigner's reputation against that of my own lover?
nyp.33433076089964	How had she come by it?
nyp.33433076089964	How handsome it made him look, how distinguished, how everything I was not except — But what does this mean?
nyp.33433076089964	How is my daughter?"
nyp.33433076089964	How should I know about his wife?
nyp.33433076089964	How will you do this?
nyp.33433076089964	How, then, go to work to secure his cooperation in a scheme possibly as mysterious to him as it was to himself?
nyp.33433076089964	I know what his temperature is and what his respiration is — but his wife?
nyp.33433076089964	I shall not apologize for my fears; you know that I have good cause for them, but to- day, only to- day, I hay?
nyp.33433076089964	If he could offer me a home in a month — and he would know by to- mor- row if he could do so — would I come to him then?
nyp.33433076089964	Inspector, have you ever solved the mystery of the two broken cof- fee- cups found amongst the debris at Mrs. Fair- brother's feet?
nyp.33433076089964	Instantly( and who can account for such phe- nomena?)
nyp.33433076089964	Is it be- cause he has lost so many children he can not be- lieve in his good fortune at having the most in- significant of all left to him?"
nyp.33433076089964	Is it likely, sir?
nyp.33433076089964	Is n't that almost as incredible a supposition as any I have myself presumed to advance?"
nyp.33433076089964	Is that what you mean?"
nyp.33433076089964	It was a good one, so was the point, but was it good enough to work holes in plaster?
nyp.33433076089964	Looks like a robber's hole at this time of night,"he laughed;"but what can you expect from a manufactory of patent medicine?"
nyp.33433076089964	Loyalty to my lover?
nyp.33433076089964	May I ask you and Mr. Durand to await me here?"
nyp.33433076089964	May I write to her that this is a mistake, that it is all you have ever claimed for it — that is, an unusually large diamond of the first water?"
nyp.33433076089964	Miss Ayers?"
nyp.33433076089964	Miss Van Arsdale, do you recog- nize the place now under your eye?"
nyp.33433076089964	Mr. Durand — you know him?"
nyp.33433076089964	Murdered?
nyp.33433076089964	News of what?
nyp.33433076089964	No shadow at the window?"
nyp.33433076089964	Oh, what, what can he want of me?"
nyp.33433076089964	Or was he merely testing'his truth?
nyp.33433076089964	Sears?
nyp.33433076089964	Shall I ask him to name this person?"
nyp.33433076089964	Should I find the library clear?
nyp.33433076089964	Should we hear nothing more of the strange and to many the suspicious circumstances which linked him to this crime?
nyp.33433076089964	Some fellow on the force, then, who had seen me come in 225 THE WOMAN IN THE ALCOVE and, by sonic trick of his own, had managed to follow me?
nyp.33433076089964	Sweet- water felt all his convictions confirmed, and ended the colloquy with the final question: “ And where is his manufactory?
nyp.33433076089964	THE WOMAN IN THE ALCOVE"But you did not see her do this?"
nyp.33433076089964	The stiletto — have you studied it, sir?
nyp.33433076089964	This knowledge came with a rush to my heart —( did I say heart?
nyp.33433076089964	Was I afraid on his account?
nyp.33433076089964	Was I right?"
nyp.33433076089964	Was I the object of all this feeling, I?
nyp.33433076089964	Was Mrs. Fairbrother the lady with the dia- mond?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he as safe as that?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he aware, or was he not aware, of his wife's death?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he desirous of seeing the great diamond she thus unconsciously( or was it consciously) shielded from his gaze?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he in any way convinced or was he simply seeking for the most considerate way in which to dismiss me and my abominable theory?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he in the mood for luncheon?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he not to have the benefit of whatever threw a doubt on his own culpa- bility?
nyp.33433076089964	Was he suffering mainly from shock, or, as would appear from his complaint, from a too rapid change of climate?
nyp.33433076089964	Was it imagination, or did I feel his hand on my shoulder before he finally lay down and composed himself to sleep?
nyp.33433076089964	Was she afraid of being murdered if she retained this jewel?"
nyp.33433076089964	Was she safe yet?
nyp.33433076089964	Was the haste too great?
nyp.33433076089964	Were these due to anything he had found in those columns?
nyp.33433076089964	What about his wife?
nyp.33433076089964	What can he want?
nyp.33433076089964	What could he have to say — to show?
nyp.33433076089964	What could he want of me?
nyp.33433076089964	What could you ex- 78 THE WOMAN IN THE ALCOVE pect of me?
nyp.33433076089964	What did he want in this empty house at midnight?
nyp.33433076089964	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076089964	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076089964	What did you say your name is?
nyp.33433076089964	What do you want of him?"
nyp.33433076089964	What had given me the strength to persist?
nyp.33433076089964	What had happened?
nyp.33433076089964	What happened to cut it short?"
nyp.33433076089964	What has happened here?
nyp.33433076089964	What if my patient is sweet, dove- eyed and affectionate?
nyp.33433076089964	What if the Honorable Mr. Grey is an eminent statesman, a dignified, scholarly, and to all appear- ance, high- minded man?
nyp.33433076089964	What if they failed to find Sears or lay hands on the doubtful Well- good?
nyp.33433076089964	What if this new clue failed?
nyp.33433076089964	What is the matter, Miss Van Arsdale?
nyp.33433076089964	What lay back of such questions as these?
nyp.33433076089964	What of him in this in- terim?"
nyp.33433076089964	What proof have you that the substitution you believe in was not made by him?
nyp.33433076089964	What was I to think of the father?
nyp.33433076089964	What was at the root of his extreme grief at leav- ing her?
nyp.33433076089964	What was he dreading?
nyp.33433076089964	What was it?
nyp.33433076089964	What, as my uncle said, could a detective want of me?
nyp.33433076089964	When and to whom, then, had he shown the diamond last?
nyp.33433076089964	When do you think you can marry me?
nyp.33433076089964	When?"
nyp.33433076089964	Where is Sears now?
nyp.33433076089964	Where is the manager of this mine?"
nyp.33433076089964	Where —""Do n't you know?"
nyp.33433076089964	Who could have entered so silently?
nyp.33433076089964	Who could it be?
nyp.33433076089964	Who is she?
nyp.33433076089964	Who?
nyp.33433076089964	Whom was he seeking?
nyp.33433076089964	Whom you saw and what you did before the alarm spread?"
nyp.33433076089964	Why did he look so disturbed and uncertain?
nyp.33433076089964	Why did he reach out for a chair and seat me in it before he took up my interrupted sentence and finished it?
nyp.33433076089964	Why did he want to take it in his hand?
nyp.33433076089964	Why did n't you collar him while he was in this mood?
nyp.33433076089964	Why did n't your experts study her- aldry and the devices of great houses?
nyp.33433076089964	Why did we ever come to this wretched ball?"
nyp.33433076089964	Why do so many men from the papers want to see that sick old man?
nyp.33433076089964	Why had he brought me here, into this fairyland of opalescent lights and intoxicating perfumes?
nyp.33433076089964	Why had n't you time?
nyp.33433076089964	Why should I notice her or look that way at all?
nyp.33433076089964	Why should I stay in such a presence?
nyp.33433076089964	Why should Mrs. Fairbrother risk such an invaluable gem to the custody of one she knew so little?
nyp.33433076089964	Why should a servant deliver a warning against his own master?
nyp.33433076089964	Why should he?
nyp.33433076089964	Why should this interest me?
nyp.33433076089964	Why?"
nyp.33433076089964	Will not people imagine that you have been requested to do so?
nyp.33433076089964	Will you be careful?"
nyp.33433076089964	Will you be my wife?"
nyp.33433076089964	Will you step into one of these rooms?
nyp.33433076089964	Within a week — if — if —"Did my look stop him?
nyp.33433076089964	Would I let her see it, let her hold it in her hand for a minute?
nyp.33433076089964	Would I not promise to be his in a month?
nyp.33433076089964	Would Mr. Durand be released without a trial?
nyp.33433076089964	Would Mr. Durand remain indefinitely in durance and un- der such a cloud of disgrace as would kill some men 114 SUSPENSE and might kill him?
nyp.33433076089964	Would he catch it anew by the knob?
nyp.33433076089964	Would he flinch, break down, betray guilt, or simply show astonishment?
nyp.33433076089964	Would he go down stairs at all?
nyp.33433076089964	Would he snap the lock tight, and so shut me out from what concerned me as much as it did any one in the whole world?
nyp.33433076089964	Would he speak again?
nyp.33433076089964	Would she even try to make him?
nyp.33433076089964	Would the proceedings which were awaited with so much anxiety be further delayed?
nyp.33433076089964	Yet con- science bade me face the matter boldly, for had I not boasted to myself that my one desire was the truth?
nyp.33433076089964	You have him?"
nyp.33433076089964	You want to say something?"
nyp.33433076089964	and it was he who recommended Wellgood?"
nyp.33433076089964	and the man — 316 XXII GUILT Was he Wellgood?
nyp.33433076089964	and why such fury in Mr. Grey's face and such amazement in that of the inspector?
nyp.33433076089964	the man named Wellgood?"
nyp.33433076089964	what have I brought upon you by my weakness?"
nyp.33433076089964	will some one give me water?"
nyp.33433076089964	“ You saw Mr. Grey lift two cups and turn toward the alcove at a moment we all know to have been critical?
nyp.33433112016195	'What either she or Clara was doing, McClue 245 THE MAN IN THE LOFT pretended to be?

nyp.33433112016195	And what had they taken away?
nyp.33433112016195	And where was that other island, the last known camping- ground of Stover, which they had ostensibly set out to seek?

nyp.33433112016195	But I do n’t see that it gets us anywhere. ” “ Did you notice the shape of it? ” asked the hunter.
nyp.33433112016195	But I think he went back to look for Pariso. ” “ Has Pariso returned? ”_ “ No.
nyp.33433112016195	But a cross in red-—what was that but a scarlet X?
nyp.33433112016195	But do you think it was bamboo? ” “ What else could it have been? ”- The detective shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433112016195	But do you think it was bamboo? ” “ What else could it have been? ”- The detective shrugged his shoulders.

nyp.33433112016195	But since you ’re here I suppose you ’ve discovered one thing, at least. ” “ What is that? ” “ I was thinking about Bernice.
nyp.33433112016195	But that remnant which he had left back at the camp — was it at all certain that he would ever see them again?
nyp.33433112016195	But then, I knew it would be. ” “ You knew? ” “ I felt certain — after you called in Clara.
nyp.33433112016195	But we have n’t. ” “ Sure you did n’t take forty winks? ” “ I never closed my eyes. ” “ But this is nonsense.
nyp.33433112016195	But what have you there? ” “ Telegrams.

nyp.33433112016195	But when I found that you both had gone without saying anything, and the others, too — ” “ What others? ” “ Why, Bernice and Carlos.

nyp.33433112016195	Could it be a part of Sealby ’s plan to starve them all to death?
nyp.33433112016195	Could it be that Luify had not made his yarn up out of whole cloth after all?
nyp.33433112016195	Could it be that the colonel kept a pig — and in this unheard of situation?
nyp.33433112016195	Could it be that this desire had been suspected and forestalled?
nyp.33433112016195	Could it be that tl crew were cleaning up — at that hour?
nyp.33433112016195	Could it be with the idea that his friend was going ashore?
nyp.33433112016195	Could the Spaniard be right?
nyp.33433112016195	Damn it, how long are we go- ing to be kept in the dark? ” There was a stampede of the crew to the switch- board below.

nyp.33433112016195	Do n’t blame you, of course. ” “ Meanwhile, I ’m to consider myself a prisoner? ” McClue inquired.
nyp.33433112016195	Do n’t you understand?
nyp.33433112016195	Do you think your natives will risk a fight with that in front of them? ” McClue recognized the porker.

nyp.33433112016195	He talks rather strangely when his fever is on. ” “ What does he say? ” “ Nothing important.
nyp.33433112016195	He wanted time to think of a way of meeting this new calamity, and in the meanwhile this 139 CARLOS HAS HIS WAY “ Dead?
nyp.33433112016195	He wondered if he had been given a straight story about Col. Sealby?
nyp.33433112016195	How could a hundred or more men have here been em- ploying themselves?
nyp.33433112016195	How could he be certain that it was Birds at all?

nyp.33433112016195	How did it come there? ” “ You examined the hole? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433112016195	I did n’t know what to think of you. ” “ But what were we to do? ” the Spaniard in- quired, with a look aside at The Ferret.

nyp.33433112016195	I wish you ’d make him see that he ’d have you to reckon with. ” “ And still you say you love him? ” “ Yes, I love him.
nyp.33433112016195	I wonder what he really has in mind? ” “ Do n’t suspect Mr. Oaksey, Mac.
nyp.33433112016195	I ’m the new lady ’s maid, and it would be better for us not to be seen together. ” “ But how did you get here?
nyp.33433112016195	I “ What ’s in the wind? ’ he asked, returning the firm grip of her outstretched hand.
nyp.33433112016195	If anyone told you that he had come to a shameful end, would you believe it? ” “ But who told you any such thing? ” My aunt heard the stories.

nyp.33433112016195	That he had really seen that muffled up personage he had described?

nyp.33433112016195	Then Gonzales lost his head, and shot. ” “ Is that what you told the crew last night? ” A gleam of defiance crept into the other ’s eyes.
nyp.33433112016195	There were bones near where I found Pariso ’s body. ’ ’ “ That is to say, there are spots which are always guarded? ” “ It looks so.

nyp.33433112016195	“ I just sent one of the sailors down stream — ” 122 THE TOLL OF THE ISLAND “ Down stream? ” “ Yes.

nyp.33433112016195	“ Where is Mac? ” she whispered, as she crouched down in the weeds.
nyp.33433112016195	“ Where is Oaksey? ” asked Bernice, as The Ferret came up.
nyp.33433112016195	“ Where is all this stuff going? ” he asked of one of the crew.
nyp.33433112016195	“ Who is that? ” asked Birds, as some- one stepped out on the river bank just ahead.
nyp.33433112016195	“ Who says I told Carlos you was aboard? ” “ Maybe I was mistaken.

nyp.33433076089931	CHAPTER XXX “ CULLEN, Dare has gone!—And with Warren/? ” Young Keeling had seized the solicitor by the arm as he was about to step into his car.
nyp.33433076089931	Cullen Grant leaned forward in an attempt to speak, but Mr. Potter was already asking, “ Did you ever walk in your sleep? ” “ I? ” said Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	Cullen Grant leaned forward in an attempt to speak, but Mr. Potter was already asking, “ Did you ever walk in your sleep? ” “ I? ” said Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	Dare Keeling had been selected to canvass one of the busiest blocks — Did she feel like serving?
nyp.33433076089931	Dare was War- ren ’s promised wife — Why should n't she be receiv- ing his confidences within the circle of his embrace?
nyp.33433076089931	Dare's quick glance measured the distance between THE DEVIL TO PAY Io.7 herself and the front door — could she make it?
nyp.33433076089931	Did he think they had no sense — no delicacy whatever?
nyp.33433076089931	Did the fact that they had refused aid to stay the bolt in this case keep them from offering what help would still avail?
nyp.33433076089931	Fortunate, ai n't it?
nyp.33433076089931	Have n't you heard the talk? ” “ What talk? ” “ Why they called on old Dr. Jernigan to serve because he was there at hand.
nyp.33433076089931	Have n't you heard the talk? ” “ What talk? ” “ Why they called on old Dr. Jernigan to serve because he was there at hand.
nyp.33433076089931	He had put on the night- latch — but — Almighty God!—the door was being opened Was Brent Warren coming back after him?
nyp.33433076089931	He unlocked the door, and we searched the bank. ” “ And found nothing? ” repeated Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	His plans?
nyp.33433076089931	How much did Dare Keeling know of their plans?
nyp.33433076089931	How should one bear himself in such a complication?
nyp.33433076089931	I have had to make sure of my motives in face of “ What? ” asked Larry when he did not finish.
nyp.33433076089931	I must n't say this, and I must n't say that — ” “ You do n't want to complicate things for Warren, do you? ” demanded her brother.
nyp.33433076089931	I thought from the way you spoke that you knew — Oh, say, I do know! ” “ You? ” exclaimed the other, starting up.
nyp.33433076089931	I66 THE DEVIL TO PAY “ Do you control the girl's money absolutely? ” asked Potter.
nyp.33433076089931	IO2 THE DEVIL TO PAY from what?
nyp.33433076089931	Instead, he asked: II8 THE DEVIL TO PAY, “ Got a puncture? ” asked Potter, standing over him after Grant had pressed him into a seat.
nyp.33433076089931	It's about the other — the financial side — that he is worried. ” “ Is he in much of a hole? ” Larry asked, sympa- thetically.
nyp.33433076089931	It's just for the night, you see. ” “ How long before the Criminal Court meets? ” asked Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	Just what should be the amenities when the man to whom a fellow's only sister is engaged to be married is in- dicted by the Grand Jury for murder?
nyp.33433076089931	Larry delivered the first—"Is Joe Harkness dead or alive? ” Grant's open look became instantly concerned.
nyp.33433076089931	Mr. Grant was busy, would the gentleman make himself comfortable, and wait?
nyp.33433076089931	Now was this the Dare of all his troubles?—the instigator and leader in all their collaborated youth- ful devilment?
nyp.33433076089931	Now, had Cullen changed at all?—Hadn't they rather drifted apart?
nyp.33433076089931	Now, how about going to his house and living with him, to find out why? ” “ You do n't mean —? ” began Keeling sharply.
nyp.33433076089931	Now, how about going to his house and living with him, to find out why? ” “ You do n't mean —? ” began Keeling sharply.
nyp.33433076089931	Now, would Cullen —?
nyp.33433076089931	Of course it was out of the question for him to discuss the matter with anybody but Grant, for whom else could he trust?
nyp.33433076089931	On which side of the struggle did he belong?
nyp.33433076089931	On which side was he?
nyp.33433076089931	One of Mr. Warren's friends?
nyp.33433076089931	Or was it — something else that was coming back?
nyp.33433076089931	Say, you can trust this one to do the job right, ca n't you? ” “ Yes, ” replied the solicitor; “ Seibert is both hon- est and efficient.
nyp.33433076089931	Should he go to Grant, then, as to a friend?
nyp.33433076089931	THE DEVIL TO PAY 165 Grant turned on him almost in time to surprise the look: “ Is Jernigan still showing a disposition to re- treat? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076089931	THE DEVIL TO PAY 19 “ How is — his wife? ” Larry asked of the com- pany after he had fixed his bearings.
nyp.33433076089931	THE DEVIL TO PAY 79 And yet, why should n't it be?
nyp.33433076089931	Tears?—tears from Dare — and not because of Warren?
nyp.33433076089931	The suggestion registered on Larry's subcon- sciousness forced its way up: “ Anybody else ever know the combination? ” he blurted out.
nyp.33433076089931	The young fellow drew the book to him and examined its title: “ The Undying Dead. ” “ Do men die? ” a something within him quoted.
nyp.33433076089931	Then he added quickly, “ You are coming back? ” Was he coming back?
nyp.33433076089931	Then he added quickly, “ You are coming back? ” Was he coming back?
nyp.33433076089931	Then the disagreeable question obtruded itself: Why did n't he borrow from his own bank?
nyp.33433076089931	Then we will keep hands off. ” “ You are trying to tell me that this is — a great concession? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076089931	There were steps inside, and a man's voice de- manding: “ Who's there? ” “ Lawrence Keeling, ” Larry answered.
nyp.33433076089931	Warren was more than apt 186 THE DEVIL TO PAY 189 “ So you got them, did you? ” he said, softly but with naked hate.
nyp.33433076089931	Was he looking at some- thing behind her?
nyp.33433076089931	Was she crazy?
nyp.33433076089931	Was she lost to all sense of delicacy?
nyp.33433076089931	Was this Dare?—this little wistful thing lying limp upon the pillows?
nyp.33433076089931	What about preparations for the coming trial?
nyp.33433076089931	What if Dare, convinced, should refuse to desert Warren?
nyp.33433076089931	What in the name of common sense — was — that?
nyp.33433076089931	What kind of voice did he have? ” “ Had a deep voice. ” “ Resonant? ” asked Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	What kind of voice did he have? ” “ Had a deep voice. ” “ Resonant? ” asked Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	What possible use could I put them to? ” The shot sped true.
nyp.33433076089931	What were Warren and his lawyers doing?
nyp.33433076089931	Where now were Dare's bright trappings?
nyp.33433076089931	Where the challenging red with which she was used of late to give color to her bravery?
nyp.33433076089931	Who are you? ” “ Ask who I – was/"said the voice.
nyp.33433076089931	Who in that town — among all Warren's connections — could have any reason for badgering the fellow like that?
nyp.33433076089931	Who scared you? ” he in- sisted, “ tell me and I'll — ” But the girl — looking him full in the face now — suddenly shrank from his grasp.
nyp.33433076089931	Who was the man?
nyp.33433076089931	Whose was it? ” “ How should I know? ” exclaimed Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	Whose was it? ” “ How should I know? ” exclaimed Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	Whose, then?
nyp.33433076089931	Why did n't they burn up that ugly old house?
nyp.33433076089931	Why did n't they cut away this forest of evergreens?
nyp.33433076089931	Why did n't they fill it in and plant grass?
nyp.33433076089931	Why did n't you get an expert? ” “ Why, ” replied Warren, working away, “ I had n't tried to open it for some time.
nyp.33433076089931	Why was n't he, Larry, included somewhat in their councils?
nyp.33433076089931	Would Mr. Grant speak to her?
nyp.33433076089931	Yes, there was no question about the fact that the prosecution would be prepared — but, what about the defense?
nyp.33433076089931	— or a pathetic little spirit that had lost its way?
nyp.33433076089931	— the spoiler of his after- peace?
nyp.33433076089931	“ A lady?
nyp.33433076089931	“ All right, what about it? ” came in prompt reply.
nyp.33433076089931	“ And do n't you think you had better stay, too, son? ” At the kind invitation, Larry turned eagerly to Grant.
nyp.33433076089931	“ And is n't it human that she should?—Isn't it right that she should? ” “ It's human all right, ” answered the other, grimly.
nyp.33433076089931	“ And this brings us to another chapter: Somebody has been having trouble with Mrs. George Roan. ” “ Who? ” asked the other quickly.
nyp.33433076089931	“ And this is where you keep his important papers? ” she added, with interest.
nyp.33433076089931	“ And you still persist? ” he at length burst out.
nyp.33433076089931	“ And you, Cullen — you? ” The young fellow seized him by both arms in his excitement.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Are you she? ” “ Yes, ” said the woman, looking at her very hard, but not widening the opening by an inch.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Are you the man who was hanged in this city on the seventeenth day of October for the murder of Joseph D. Harkness? ” the solicitor asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Boy quite a mimic, ai n't he? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ But if I do mean? ” and Grant's level glance was absolutely unflinching.
nyp.33433076089931	“ But what did you find?—Who's having trouble with Mrs. Roan? ” Grant urged.
nyp.33433076089931	“ But what? ” he demanded with a swift glance at the steel door behind which the letters of Joseph D. Harkness waited to point him the way.
nyp.33433076089931	“ But you've heard of me — I am the woman who failed! ” “ ‘ Failed'? ” gasped Dare.
nyp.33433076089931	“ By no means! ” exclaimed his employer- host, “ I was thinking of you. ” “ Me? ” said Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Ca n't we get in without breaking in? ” asked Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Ca n't you stop her? ” came over the wires in a tone of exasperated pleading.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Dare? ” “ Yes, I ran up and told her as soon as they ar- rested me.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Did n't notice Grant, at all, ” answered Warren, “ was he there? ” “ I did n't see the fellow's face, ” said Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Did you hear? ” asked Larry, coming forward, quickly.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Did you hear? ” gasped the other.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Did you say the man's name was ‘ Jernigan ’? ” “ Yes, ” replied his companion.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Did — did Potter do that on purpose? ” the young fellow demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you know him? ” asked Grant.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you know the defendant in this case? ” asso- ciate counsel for the defense was asking gently.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you mean that Grant is too — zealous? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you object to my leaving the house? ” Dare Keeling's brother asked at length.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you want to have me arrested? ” “ No, ” said Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you want to search me? ” he demanded, mak- ing a gesture of ready assent.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Do you write Warren's letters for him? ” the man at the foot asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Does Dare still think she loves Warren? ” he asked with characteristic directness.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Ever been in here? ” he asked, motioning toward a narrow passageway that led off.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Got the proofs? ” exclaimed the other in sup- pressed excitement.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Grant, ” he gasped at length, “ are you on the track of —? ” Grant did n't answer the half- put question.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Has Cullen given that to you for Warren? ” ex- claimed her brother.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Have I denied that Dare wants to help War- ren? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Have they proved anything yet? ” he gasped.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Have you heard the news? ” The young fellow came to himself with a start.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Have you told Dare? ” he was heard to ask in half- breathed undertone.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Hello! ” he called, “ Hello! ” “ Number, please? ” came in a nasal treble.
nyp.33433076089931	“ How are you, Larry? ” The young fellow started to his feet.
nyp.33433076089931	“ How did you come to recognize Mrs. Roan? ” he asked quickly.
nyp.33433076089931	“ How do you know he told me that? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ How do you know? ” demanded the brother, taken aback.
nyp.33433076089931	“ I am very tired, ” she said, drooping a little; “ might I sit down? ” The woman hesitated a moment, and then opened the door to her.
nyp.33433076089931	“ I want you to let me alone — alone do you hear me? ” “ What's the trouble? ” The park policeman had approached unnoticed.
nyp.33433076089931	“ I want you to let me alone — alone do you hear me? ” “ What's the trouble? ” The park policeman had approached unnoticed.
nyp.33433076089931	“ I? ” began the boy, “ I write — ” “ Larry! ” said Cullen Grant.
nyp.33433076089931	“ I? ” said Dare.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Is he a doctor? ” asked Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Is it important that you get in at once? ” in- quired his private secretary.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Is n't it awful? ” the first- to- arrive exclaimed, as she took in Dare's bright face with a swift glance.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Is n't it right? ” urged Dare's brother.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Larry, just where do your plans for Dare lead? ” The young fellow ran his hands through his hair in despair.
nyp.33433076089931	“ May I go now? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Me? ” asked the jailer, “ Well, I reckon not.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Never. ” “ And nobody else knew that combination? ” in- sisted the detective.
nyp.33433076089931	“ No, Been batting about down here knocking — God! ” “ ‘ Knocking?
nyp.33433076089931	“ No, it was a woman ’s. ” “ What could have happened? ” Still another put the question that was uppermost in every mind.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Not a bit of it! ” exclaimed the boy — then his glance shifted unexpectedly to the face of the de- tective—“What? ” he asked, startled.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Not, ” he said, “ not unless we take the metaphorical animal by the horns. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked Grant.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Nothing definite. ” “ You ’ve been in court? ” “ Yes, all morning. ” “ What have —? ” But the man had passed.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Nothing definite. ” “ You ’ve been in court? ” “ Yes, all morning. ” “ What have —? ” But the man had passed.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Nothing — Who's afraid? ” then she smiled bravely.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Oh, I beg your pardon, ” Larry exclaimed, “ I thought you knew I was here. ” “ Where? ” demanded Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Say, did n't he act as physician for the county this morning — at- at the hanging? ” “ Believe he did, ” said the other, striding ahead.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Shall I read it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Sobered up? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Somebody, some- thing, called from inside that bank—‘where no man is'—he said it — and when I asked ‘ Who are you?'
nyp.33433076089931	“ The boy? ” ventured the new- comer again.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Then where are we? ” from the other.
nyp.33433076089931	“ To Warren? ” asked the detective, with repressed eagerness.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Train's did n't know about it, fortunately. ” “ What's Train in for? ” Larry asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Wah- ren? ” asked the peculiar, hesitating voice that he remembered only too well.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Warren, ” he ventured at length, “ was it some of those devilish boys again? ” “ No ſ ” said Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Watching for what? ” demanded the member of the Grand Jury.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Weak, would you say? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Well, by the Lord Harry, what do you mean by that? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What are you going to do? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What did he say? ” persisted Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you mean by materializing at such inopportune mo- ments? ” “ ‘ Inopportune? ’ ” echoed Dare.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you mean by materializing at such inopportune mo- ments? ” “ ‘ Inopportune? ’ ” echoed Dare.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you mean —? ” she began.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you mean? ” “ Why, I do n't ‘ mean'anything, Brent.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you want now? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you want, then? ” asked the younger man.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What do you want? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What has Cullen Grant to do with it? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What has Cullen ever done to you, except to refuse to be beckoned back for your amusement? ” And Larry knew that now he had not stopped in time.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What in the devil are you doing in Brent War- ren's house, anyway? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What is it? ” asked the man aroused.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What is it? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What is it? ” “ I — don't — know — ” “ Who Was it? ” “ Nobody — ” said Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What is it? ” “ I — don't — know — ” “ Who Was it? ” “ Nobody — ” said Warren.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What letters, Larry? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What made you send me on that wild goose chase? ” “ But — but — ” Larry stopped.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What makes you say that Grant will give you the money? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What may I tell Cullen for you? ” he pleaded.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What now? ” “ The Grand Jury has indicted the other one. ” “ Who? ” demanded young Keeling, with every line in his face suddenly tense.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What now? ” “ The Grand Jury has indicted the other one. ” “ Who? ” demanded young Keeling, with every line in his face suddenly tense.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What number called just then? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What scared you?
nyp.33433076089931	“ What were the circumstances? ” Warren looked up with knitted, thoughtful brows.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What's the matter with the solicitor? ” he in- quired in the golden moment of apology.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What's the matter, old man? ” asked Grant gently.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What's the matter? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433076089931	“ What's this about your ghost? ” the detective asked, impatiently.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Where are you? ” breathed the astonished Larry.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Where? ” exclaimed the other.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Who was the man with Cullen Grant? ” asked Dare, after they had passed beyond sight of the diners.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Who ’s that old Jernigan, ’ anyhow? ” demanded Larry, as the intruding figure thus unreasonably in- terrupted his view.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Who? ” demanded the other.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Whose phone? ” “ The Hampton Bank and Trust Company, ” came in reply.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Why, I'm prime for the job, you know!—The question is, can you use me? ” “ Certainly I can.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Why? ” he asked, apprehen- sively.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Would n't we better all go home? ” asked a man who had hitherto not spoken.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Yes, ” said Larry, “ how in the world did we manage it? ” “ I do n't know. ” Then suddenly she pressed close to his side.
nyp.33433076089931	“ Yes, ” said Lucy, “ would you have thought it?
nyp.33433076089931	“ Yon do n't? ” exclaimed Carmichael.

nyp.33433112007996	“ I wonder where those things are? ” said Barbara.

nyp.33433112007996	“ Is he whisker age? ” asked Mary Elinor.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Is it the arrum? ” said Uncle, meaning my arm.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Is n’t it nice? ” said Barbara.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Is n’t it suitable that I should? ” I said.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Is n’t it? ” she answered.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Like to walk around Fort McHenry, ” went on the bounder, “ and talk to any soldier or sailor you happened to meet, did n’t you?
nyp.33433112007996	“ Me, aunt to you all? ” she said between shaking, “ Lordy, lordy! ” and then she set down some thin looking cakes and departed.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Nice? ” said Mary Elinor.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Now you want to live? ” I said.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Oh, what is it? ” she answered crossly.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Oh- er- won’t you come in? ” I asked, and she did, picking out the largest chair in the room to sit in.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Read me to sleep? ” she said, “ read me to sleep'!
nyp.33433112007996	“ See? ” said Frank, feeling awfully pleased with himself.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Shall I take a steamer rug? ” 7 164 BARBARA OF BALTIMORE “ Quite so, Uncle, ” he said.
nyp.33433112007996	“ She might as well leave her money to real rela- tives, might n’t she? ” Alix went on.
nyp.33433112007996	“ So that ’s it? ” said the strange man.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Tell me, is it the brother who died for the cause of France and our England? ” I shook my head.
nyp.33433112007996	“ That hurt worse than any remark about your character, or lack of it — didn’t it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112007996	“ The father?
nyp.33433112007996	“ The what? ” he asked and she told him all about it.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Very well! ” said Alix triumphantly; and then, “ Rub my back, will you?
nyp.33433112007996	“ Well, dear? ” said Mother as I came in.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Well, ” I said, “ if you have enough money to buy a cunning little cottage over there, what are you kicking about?
nyp.33433112007996	“ What about you? ” he asked of me.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What are you going to do? ” I asked nervously.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What are you going to do? ” she asked him.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What do you think of it? ” he asked in an em- barrassed way.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What do you want? ” she said.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What have I done? ” he said.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What have you been doing? ” said I, anxious to divert the conversation.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What if it should — happen to come to those Aus- tralian cousins? ” I asked sharply.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What is it, Alix? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What is it? ” I asked again after she had some- what quieted and then, between broken little gasps, she told me this.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What is it? ” asked Alix, and then I told her.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What is the matter? ” asked Barbara.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What is troubling you now? ” he asked in a wheedling tone.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What is yours? ” Pat asked of Alix.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What next, Alix? ” asked Mother after a moment.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What shall I say to Mother?"
nyp.33433112007996	“ What the dickens did he want of Professor Win- throp ’s whiskers? ” asked Billy.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What was her game?
nyp.33433112007996	“ What was the matter with the man? ” she yelled.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What ’s that? ” I whispered in a regular stage effect.
nyp.33433112007996	“ What ’s up?
nyp.33433112007996	“ When do you people want dinner? ” said Mother.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Where did you put it? ” I asked.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Where would we keep them? ” asked Father.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Where ’d you hide? ” asked Frank.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Which do you want? ” I asked.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Who are you? ” I said unsteadily, but I got no answer.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why did n’t you ask? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why did n’t you say what you wanted?"
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why did she hurry off? ” I said.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why do n’t you and Alix go down the Bay? ” said Mrs. Crane.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why do n’t you go upstairs and rummage in the attics? ” said Mother, when she saw how disappoint-_ ed we were.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why does it especially worry you? ” I asked.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Why? ” he repeated, flushing.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Would you, now? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433112007996	“ You had a nice morning? ” I went on, somewhat lamely.
nyp.33433112007996	“ You know we ’re going to have another guest? ” said Mrs. Crane.
nyp.33433112007996	“ You ’ll want to go up now? ” she asked, and I nodded, rose and pushed my chair under the table.
nyp.33433112007996	“ Yours? ” said Pat to me.

nyp.33433082170345	I exclaimed, in great astonishment;"why, how did you ever become acquainted with him, may I ask?
nyp.33433082170345	I say, Jack, why do n't you go for him to- night?
nyp.33433082170345	I shouted;"foul murder! ”"Who fired that shot? ” cried Gil Grunt in great excitement.
nyp.33433082170345	I trust it does not disturb you?
nyp.33433082170345	I want to hire you, and I will pay you a hundred dollars a month if you will serve me. ”"In what capacity?"
nyp.33433082170345	If it were not for these, whence would origi- nate the mighty tragic fire?".
nyp.33433082170345	In a winter store- house of delicious fruit, or in a pomaceous orchard?
nyp.33433082170345	In an instant Karl Pentz and Gil Grunt came running out of the gloom and darkness, calling,"What is it?
nyp.33433082170345	In which direction had he sought a refuge?
nyp.33433082170345	Is der count married?"
nyp.33433082170345	Is he here, Gil?"
nyp.33433082170345	Is it Mad Mudley, the demented sot, haunting the ghost- ly night when evil stalks abroad, or another of his squalid ilk?
nyp.33433082170345	Is it a talisman, like Aladdin's ring?"
nyp.33433082170345	Is n't he?"
nyp.33433082170345	Is she his wife, think you, or not?"
nyp.33433082170345	Is that all?".
nyp.33433082170345	Is that enough?'
nyp.33433082170345	Is there anything else you want to ask before I go?"
nyp.33433082170345	Let me insbeck them? ”"For what reason?"
nyp.33433082170345	Let me insbeck them? ”"For what reason?"
nyp.33433082170345	Madesby, what- may I ask- was the trinket, or token, or whatever it may have been, that our impulsive friend was so ardently in search of?
nyp.33433082170345	May I hoffer you my harm?
nyp.33433082170345	My hearer laughed outright at my eulogy, saying:"Do you like your calling? ”.
nyp.33433082170345	Not yet?
nyp.33433082170345	Oh, Jane, can you ever pardon me?
nyp.33433082170345	Or a black beard and a bald pate?
nyp.33433082170345	Ow can I see without looking?"
nyp.33433082170345	Quietly motioning me to a seat beside him, he remarked, with a laugh:"Did n't know me, eh?
nyp.33433082170345	Recognizing the nationality of the express- ion, I remarked:"You, too, are English, then, madam?"

nyp.33433082170345	Was Joel Juif certainly Heinrich Jargal?
nyp.33433082170345	Was he ashamed of being caught peeping?
nyp.33433082170345	Was he disconcerted?
nyp.33433082170345	Was he still drunk?
nyp.33433082170345	Was he stricken dumb, or tongue- maimed, like the harem- eunuchs of the East?
nyp.33433082170345	Was her behavior wholly wanton and immodest- utterly shameless and degraded to the last degree?
nyp.33433082170345	Was it a confederate, a third accomplice, left on guard, who had entered in order to give the signal of alarm to the inside and active operators?
nyp.33433082170345	Was it a policeman who had haply come in from the street, finding the front door open or ajar?
nyp.33433082170345	Was it intended to deceive?-if so, whom and why?

nyp.33433082170345	“ And when,"he asked, with a pleasant laugh,"shall we begin?"
nyp.33433082170345	“ And you have done that?"

nyp.33433076079403	- 86 TEHE UNLIGHTED BIOUSE Darden would see him and question him, over and over, try to build up a special theory of guilt — whose guilt?

nyp.33433076079403	102 THE UNLIGHTED HOUSE “ And you will tell me nothing more? ” he asked, after another long pause.
nyp.33433076079403	16 THE UNLIGHTED BIOUSE “ Why were you afraid of my speaking to you in there? ” A quick change in his expression caused her to look around.
nyp.33433076079403	164 THE UNLIGHTED HOUSE “ Better? ” he asked, with an easy smile.
nyp.33433076079403	258 THE UNLIGHTED HOUSE “ Captain Nash, ” he said, “ see who that is, will you? ” The officer admitted Miss Patton and Malloy.

nyp.33433076079403	And if he did, what then?
nyp.33433076079403	And was the promise his at- tempt to purchase her good- will, to buy her help in his larger object of proving who had stolen the information?
nyp.33433076079403	And what you said in response?
nyp.33433076079403	And would she imperil her position by speaking now?
nyp.33433076079403	And you wo n't tell a soul, will you?
nyp.33433076079403	And, if Tom Malloy could intimidate him, why could n't she?

nyp.33433076079403	But I know. ” “ And you want to stick to your original de- nial?
nyp.33433076079403	But that's different — is n’t it?
nyp.33433076079403	But this — who, in Washington, wanted revenge, in its full- est measure, on Revis?
nyp.33433076079403	But why should he resent so keenly Darden's questioning her?

nyp.33433076079403	Did he, could he, love her as much as she thought?
nyp.33433076079403	Did her own face indict her?
nyp.33433076079403	Did she think the thief easier to find than the murderer?
nyp.33433076079403	Did that mean that she questioned the character of his love?
nyp.33433076079403	Did you? ” 44 Yes. ” “ Then, I do n't suppose he'll bother you! ” He laughed his assurance, a feeling of superior- ity, and of possession.

nyp.33433076079403	Do n't you see that?

nyp.33433076079403	Do you know?

nyp.33433076079403	Exactly what was that, the words Revis used? ”- Nash coughed, upset by that abrupt dismissal of his theorizing.
nyp.33433076079403	For I have — have n't I?
nyp.33433076079403	Had he permitted her to leave the house merely out of consideration for her?
nyp.33433076079403	Had n't Addie joined her in New Orleans soon after she had left North Carolina?
nyp.33433076079403	Had n't he told her, in the darkened hall, that he would see her?
nyp.33433076079403	Had she been alto- gether wrong?
nyp.33433076079403	Had she thought that the murderer would never be found, never be proved guilty?

nyp.33433076079403	He came down the passage on his way out as I turned into my room. ” “ And you saw no paper in the senator's over- coat? ” Miss Colvin bridled.
nyp.33433076079403	He protested: “ What's this?
nyp.33433076079403	He put that into words: “ There's something else yet, Miss Colvin — is n’t there? ”-- She went toward the hangings, beginning her departure.
nyp.33433076079403	He repeated: “ Might n't you have been talking about your- self?
nyp.33433076079403	He went farther into the room and faced his mother: “ What have you done to her? ” Mrs. Buckner's mouth was set to a hard line.
nyp.33433076079403	His scowling reproof, answering that question of hers, “ Would you hate me if I had known TEIE SENATOR ADVISES 141 him? ” demoralized her.
nyp.33433076079403	How do you know that? ” “ From knowing him. ” “ But you know nothing to prove that he's in- nocent? ” “ Nothing — no — not yet.

nyp.33433076079403	How, then, he asked, explain his loose talk of yesterday about knowing what Buckner knew and a woman ’s “ foolishness"?
nyp.33433076079403	How, then, to get action On it?
nyp.33433076079403	I can rely on that? ” “ Yes, ” she breathed.
nyp.33433076079403	I did so last Sunday, and got back just as the senator was leaving. ” “ Speak to the senator? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076079403	I do n’t know why, but it sounded “ off ” to me. ” “ And Revis?
nyp.33433076079403	I know because I — ” “ Because you were there? ” Buckner in his turn interrupted.
nyp.33433076079403	I managed to keep a little here — medicine. ” She stood up, “ will you? ” “ Thanks; certainly.
nyp.33433076079403	I should guess it was a woman he had had under his control in the past — threats — yes?
nyp.33433076079403	I want you to help me — please. ” “ How? ” Nash asked doubtfully.
nyp.33433076079403	If Ed Revis was so dangerous to the United States government that men like George Darden were sent against him, how could she hope to outwit him?
nyp.33433076079403	If she defied him, if she did not go, would he tell Grimes, as he had threatened?
nyp.33433076079403	Is that true? ” “ Yes; it is. ” “ And Malloy?
nyp.33433076079403	Is that true? ” “ Yes; it is. ” “ And Malloy?
nyp.33433076079403	It has all come out sat- isfactorily. — Has n’t it? ” “ Has it? ” he objected in a tone that was al- most a growl.
nyp.33433076079403	It has all come out sat- isfactorily. — Has n’t it? ” “ Has it? ” he objected in a tone that was al- most a growl.
nyp.33433076079403	It is, perhaps, as well — how?
nyp.33433076079403	May I confide in you? ” Suspecting sarcasm, she made no reply.
nyp.33433076079403	May I get it for you? ” She brought a tray from the diningroom, which was little more than an alcove, opening off the room they were in.
nyp.33433076079403	May I?
nyp.33433076079403	Mr. Darden put the obvious ques- tion: “ And you, Miss Colvin?
nyp.33433076079403	No hitch about it? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076079403	No matter who says I did?
nyp.33433076079403	No matter who says you did?
nyp.33433076079403	No. ” “ Who, then, was?
nyp.33433076079403	Nobody at the Arlewood had an opportunity to see the draft, except Miss Haskell, and surely you consider her above suspicion, do n't you?
nyp.33433076079403	Nobody saw me come in. — Now, what have you done, Mary?
nyp.33433076079403	Now, I ask you again: do you propose to prove my guilt and — hers? ” Buckner's pallor was suddenly as pronounced as Mary's.
nyp.33433076079403	Or is he a plain fool?
nyp.33433076079403	Or was her folly a thing of the present, an actual or imagined weak- ness for Revis, of which he could make use?
nyp.33433076079403	Or was his act of last night the beginning of an immense decep- tion to bring about her ruin?
nyp.33433076079403	Otherwise, why should she have revealed her presence to him?
nyp.33433076079403	Revis ’ demand?
nyp.33433076079403	Revis? ” “ But you liked him — did n't you? ” he put in quickly.
nyp.33433076079403	Revis? ” “ But you liked him — did n't you? ” he put in quickly.
nyp.33433076079403	See to it — will you? — that those women keep their mouths shut about me. ” “ Mouths shut! ” Darden echoed in assumed blankness.
nyp.33433076079403	She smiled, a woebe- gone fatality, a facial what's- the- difference?
nyp.33433076079403	Sorry for yourself? ” “ Why, no! ” she said sharply.
nyp.33433076079403	Suppose he did?
nyp.33433076079403	THE LOQUACIOUS MISS COLVIN 81 She explained her new emotion: “ If I could — anyway, it would help Mary, would n’t it?
nyp.33433076079403	That do? ” Altillero lit a cigarette, to take time to decide that this was what he wanted.
nyp.33433076079403	That is, I ’ve imagined it. ” “ Who did it, then? ” “ I mean the theft.
nyp.33433076079403	That's it, is n't it? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076079403	That's the way we planned it, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076079403	The bargain they put up to you?
nyp.33433076079403	The room seemed strangely MR. REVIS APPEARS 7 quiet — or was the strangeness within herself?
nyp.33433076079403	There's talk of it — a possibility. ” “ Theft of what, Senator? ” Miss Colvin pur- sued, her voice keyed now to his prudence.
nyp.33433076079403	To save that young fool from the consequences of his own wild tongue? ” “ No, ” Darden replied to that, coming back to the desk.
nyp.33433076079403	UNDER COMPULSION 15 “ So you know me, do n't you? ” he said, an offensive aggressiveness in his lowered voice.
nyp.33433076079403	Was there no way to be rid of him?
nyp.33433076079403	Was this another of his tricks to put her off her guard?
nyp.33433076079403	Well enough to invite him here like that? ” She answered that readily, without looking up: “ I used to.
nyp.33433076079403	What as- surance had he that she would not become hys- terical — shriek, perhaps?
nyp.33433076079403	What can she know?
nyp.33433076079403	What could Senator Buckner have been doing, in that house?
nyp.33433076079403	What could she care?
nyp.33433076079403	What did he want to know?
nyp.33433076079403	What else was there to do?
nyp.33433076079403	What proofs would we have secured in addition to those we have now? ” “ Proofs? ” Nash echoed.
nyp.33433076079403	What proofs would we have secured in addition to those we have now? ” “ Proofs? ” Nash echoed.
nyp.33433076079403	What strange airs are these?
nyp.33433076079403	What troubles you? ” His bass voice, an endearing rumble, was col- oured by the lover's egoistic confidence of ability to console.
nyp.33433076079403	What was he thinking?
nyp.33433076079403	What was that name?
nyp.33433076079403	What was that you said to me — here in the shadows?
nyp.33433076079403	What was the matter with the guy anyhow?
nyp.33433076079403	What was the use?
nyp.33433076079403	What will he do to me? ” She put her hand to her mouth and looked around the room furtively.
nyp.33433076079403	What's the matter? ” Buckner's question had the ring of reproval.
nyp.33433076079403	What, if he did come?
nyp.33433076079403	What, if she told Grimes to-, morrow, as Tom Malloy had advised?
nyp.33433076079403	Where else?
nyp.33433076079403	Where? ” Miss Colvin demanded abruptly.
nyp.33433076079403	Where? ” “ What a question! ” she cried, her voice break- ing.
nyp.33433076079403	Who else? ” Her mood had changed to solemnity, almost sorrow.
nyp.33433076079403	Who, then? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076079403	Why did he continue to look at her so?
nyp.33433076079403	Why did his features change to a pleasant smile?
nyp.33433076079403	Why did you do it? ” “ Because I thought he might not have killed Revis.
nyp.33433076079403	Why had he taken the pains to promise the one thing she most desired, to say nothing to Grimes about her experience of last night?
nyp.33433076079403	Why had n't she asked Tom Malloy to go to the creature and put an end to his annoying her?
nyp.33433076079403	Why had n’t she had more time to find a suitable op- portunity for telling him?
nyp.33433076079403	Why interrupt him before he had begun the move that meant death to his intended victim?
nyp.33433076079403	Why not let him go farther?
nyp.33433076079403	Why not?
nyp.33433076079403	Why should he handle this criminal gently?
nyp.33433076079403	Why should n't he?
nyp.33433076079403	Why?
nyp.33433076079403	Why?
nyp.33433076079403	Will you tell him? ” She sank into the chair, her head lowered, and said nothing.
nyp.33433076079403	Will you, Grimes? ” “ Suppose I did? ” “ It might provoke him — into giving the story to the reporters. ” He frowned heavily.
nyp.33433076079403	Will you, Grimes? ” “ Suppose I did? ” “ It might provoke him — into giving the story to the reporters. ” He frowned heavily.
nyp.33433076079403	Will you? ” It was a request impossible to refuse.
nyp.33433076079403	With all her dreams made mockeries, what did she care?
nyp.33433076079403	With all his gumption, why did n’t he put some “ pep and snap ’’ into the work?
nyp.33433076079403	Without you, I do n't know where to turn. — Now, last night, for instance: what did you see?
nyp.33433076079403	Would he never stop?
nyp.33433076079403	Would he understand when he knew?
nyp.33433076079403	Would it be necessary to tell, after all?
nyp.33433076079403	Would she be able to stand the strain of this weird undertaking?
nyp.33433076079403	Would she keep quiet?
nyp.33433076079403	Would you hate me so? ” He took her hand, holding it while he looked up in scowling reproof.
nyp.33433076079403	Yes. ” “ Do you object to telling me how? ” She hesitated again, holding her cramped posi- tion, studying him with narrowed, unrevealing eyes.
nyp.33433076079403	You ask me why?"
nyp.33433076079403	You believe I ’m speaking the truth — the whole truth — you see that, do n't you? ” He hesitated.
nyp.33433076079403	You do n’t mind, do you? ” She began to cry.
nyp.33433076079403	You got that, too, I suppose? ” The other nodded.
nyp.33433076079403	You know about that, THE TEIOROUGH MR. REVIS 165* do n’t you — the facts he wanted to steal and Sel1? ” She considered a long time.
nyp.33433076079403	You might see the advisability of talking it over with Miss Haskell. ” “ Why? ” she asked, and moved forward, to go to the car.
nyp.33433076079403	You never knew Revis?
nyp.33433076079403	You see?
nyp.33433076079403	You see? ” “ Yes; but how will you get that? ” Darden lit a cigarette.
nyp.33433076079403	You see? ” “ Yes; but how will you get that? ” Darden lit a cigarette.
nyp.33433076079403	You think he killed Revis? ” “ No! ” she said with energy.
nyp.33433076079403	You were not here that evening? ” “ Not until eleven o’clock, ” she informed him.
nyp.33433076079403	You wo n’t go to him about it, will you?
nyp.33433076079403	You'll give me four or five more days — time to exhaust the women's strength?
nyp.33433076079403	You'll remember? ” “ I ’ve told you that.
nyp.33433076079403	You're pale as a ghost? ” “ Yes; I must. ” But, left alone, she sank into black depression.
nyp.33433076079403	Your pocket was n't picked in the hotel dining- room where you had dinner, was it?
nyp.33433076079403	— Did she? ” “ Why, yes, ” Mary had to answer him; “ she did.
nyp.33433076079403	— That right? ” The policeman was emphatic in his assent.
nyp.33433076079403	— What Will he do?
nyp.33433076079403	— who had killed that creature?
nyp.33433076079403	“ About What? ” Miss Haskell sighed her impatience.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Afraid? ” He was incredulous.
nyp.33433076079403	“ And the altercation which, you so succinctly state, ended in the shooting? ” he asked, with a simulation of irony.
nyp.33433076079403	“ And what it does to a woman like that. ” He put his query blindly: “ You mean the woman Revis was talking about? ” “ Why, yes!
nyp.33433076079403	“ And you think a woman killed Revis? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076079403	“ And you? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433076079403	“ And, ” he resumed, “ you think Mr. Malloy did n’t commit this murder? ” “ I know he did n’t|* “ How?
nyp.33433076079403	“ And, ” he resumed, “ you think Mr. Malloy did n’t commit this murder? ” “ I know he did n’t|* “ How?
nyp.33433076079403	“ And, ” ventured Darden, “ you know the sen- ator that well?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Are n't you Miss Mary Haskell? ” Her face grey with horror, she ignored the ques- tion, and stared at the man on the bed.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Believe you? ” He turned to his mother.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Besides, what good would it have done if I ’d acted differently?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Besides, why be angry with Addie simply be- cause my folly took me into that room? ” He sat down, doubt still flaming in his eyes.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Buckner?
nyp.33433076079403	“ But Mary's apartment — what's that got to do With it? ” “ A great deal, according to Darden.
nyp.33433076079403	“ But have you told him about the rest of the party?
nyp.33433076079403	“ But what can I do? ” “ Arrest the guilty man'"“ The man guilty of what? ” “ Of both — the theft and that murder! ” He bent closer.
nyp.33433076079403	“ But what can I do? ” “ Arrest the guilty man'"“ The man guilty of what? ” “ Of both — the theft and that murder! ” He bent closer.
nyp.33433076079403	“ But what is it about? ” she inquired, her lit.
nyp.33433076079403	“ But why just now — tonight? ” he insisted, his voice kindly.
nyp.33433076079403	“ By what you saw yourself? ” “ How's that? ” The uncertain question came haltingly past Buckner's dropped jaw.
nyp.33433076079403	“ By what you saw yourself? ” “ How's that? ” The uncertain question came haltingly past Buckner's dropped jaw.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Ca n't you see — wo n't you believe me when I tell you I sympathize with you, am sorry for you, in your trouble? ” She laughed shortly.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Can any one hear us? ” he asked, with an air of protecting her.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Did he identify her? ” Darden asked.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Did you drop it there? ” 44 No. ” “ Who did, do you think? ” “ Not Tom Malloy, ” she said, with her first show of spirit.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Did you drop it there? ” 44 No. ” “ Who did, do you think? ” “ Not Tom Malloy, ” she said, with her first show of spirit.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Did you notice them?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Do n’t you think, Mr. Darden, ” she asked him, making no concealment of her resentment, “ you ’ve tried our patience sufficiently?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Do?
nyp.33433076079403	“ During his visit, then, the overcoat was out of the line of your vision, and his? ” “ Necessarily, ” she said.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Had n't we better go?
nyp.33433076079403	“ He had her — what do you say?
nyp.33433076079403	“ How about a murder charge? ” he argued.
nyp.33433076079403	“ How do you know that? ” She was thinking: “ He told me he would be busy with his constituents all the evening!
nyp.33433076079403	“ How? ” he demanded, the thrumming note in his voice.
nyp.33433076079403	“ I knew some- thing about that. ” “ So, he did try to use you? ” Darden per- sisted.
nyp.33433076079403	“ I know we had things to talk over. ” “ In a minute, my dear Senator? ” Malloy quizzed with raised eyebrows.
nyp.33433076079403	“ I mean: did you think the foolishness had been committed in the past, and she would now be compelled to pay for it?
nyp.33433076079403	“ I understand how a girl, a girl child, may be led into a purple hour, that hour when the stars come down to earth and — Do you see?
nyp.33433076079403	“ I ’m sure Tom would do nothing to embarrass me. ” “ You are? ” He was sarcastic.
nyp.33433076079403	“ If you do n't, ” he declared, with evil seriousness, 18 THE UNLIGHTED BIOUSE “ that fellow in there gets some news — see?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Is it so bad? ” he asked, with a short laugh.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Is it?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Is n't there something you take? ” he asked, after he had raised the window sash.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Is that what you really meant? ” “ Absolutely, ” he said.
nyp.33433076079403	“ May I come in? ” “ Oh, I suppose so! ” She stepped aside, mak- ing room for his entrance.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Miss Colvin came home from Keith's as you were leaving, and she was n't in the apartment when you got there that night, was she?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Now, what? ” she inquired, intending to smile, but succeeding in nothing better than the appearance of a vacuous grin.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Or could they have met previously, in the grounds or the house?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Or, ” Darden put it quickly, “ is n't it your opinion now that the person was a woman?
nyp.33433076079403	“ So you're going to marry him? ” The surface of his speech was merriment still, but its undertone of resoluteness did not escape her.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Something else? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076079403	“ That basement window — how did you know it would be open? ” he continued.
nyp.33433076079403	“ The guy who can solve this problem is a wonder, ai n’t he? ” “ I think, ” Darden said, indifferent, “ I ’ve solved it.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Then, what, ” she said, her whisper clearly audible, “ what are you going to do — to me? ” He was crossing the room.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Thought I was dead — maybe? ” She inclined her head, in a slow assent.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Thought you lost it?
nyp.33433076079403	“ What are they — to back up any such stuff as that? ” The grey globe of cigarette smoke had closed around Darden's head.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What can I do for you? ” She threw out one hand wildly.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What can I do, Miss Colvin? ” he asked, lowering his voice in response to her guarded whispering.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What did the Patton girl tell you, Nash?
nyp.33433076079403	“ What is it, Mary?
nyp.33433076079403	“ What is it? ” She still hesitated, brushing her thin lips with the ends of her fingers.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What monkey- tricks are these? ” he asked blandly.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What sort of information? ” she persisted.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What theft, Mary?
nyp.33433076079403	“ What time did he say he'd get here? ” he asked, dragging his words like a man suddenly bored.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What was her name, Miss Patton? ” “ Oh, ” she said, with a laugh blank of all ex- pression, “ he was n't fool enough to tell me that.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What's that? ”- THE SENATOR ADVISES 133 She was in a chair so low that the table edge cut off his view of her at the neck.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What's the matter, Mary? ” Miss Colvin's thin tones urged her.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What's the matter? ” he asked sharply.
nyp.33433076079403	“ What's this? ” he demanded angrily, ad- dressing Mrs. Buckner from the doorway.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Who was she? ” he felt safe in asking now.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Who?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Who?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why do n’t that fool doctor come on? ” he growled.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why do you fight against me? ” She started violently; the tears came into her eyes.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why do you follow me? ” she asked, icily.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why do you follow me? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why wo n't you let me help you? ” he urged gently.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why — do you mind telling me why you were so good — protected me last night? ” “ And Malloy, too?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why — do you mind telling me why you were so good — protected me last night? ” “ And Malloy, too?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Why, Mr. Darden?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Will nothing move her?
nyp.33433076079403	“ Wished I was, did n't you? ” he questioned again, grinning broadly.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Yes? ” he invited.
nyp.33433076079403	“ Yes? ” she returned indifferently, after that pause.
nyp.33433076079403	“ You did How? ” “ Asked the night elevator boy before he went 82 THE UNLIGHTED HOUSE off duty, ” he explained, enjoying her surprise.
nyp.33433076079403	“ You have an unconventional way of showing your — sympathy, did you say? ” He refused to be discouraged.
nyp.33433076079403	“ You never knew Edward Revis? ”&&.
nyp.33433076079403	“ You see what that means? ” “ Oh, do n’t worry me any more! ” she cried out, springing up so quickly that her shoulder brushed his.
nyp.33433076079403	“ You under- stand?
nyp.33433076079403	“ You were going to say you did n't use it? ” he urged.
nyp.33433076079403	“ You were not in Mr. Revis'house yesterday or last night? ” Captain Nash asked her.

nyp.33433112011410	But why did you leave your ship? ” The sailor saw that it was useless to fence any more.
nyp.33433112011410	CHAPTER IX THE MAN WHO WAS SAVED HAT the devil have you got to do with my story of the Halcyon ’s passenger? ” flashed Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	Could Margaret Graeme, by any possibility, be here? ” “ You told her of my plans, ” said Wentworth, in reply.
nyp.33433112011410	Could he sail a yacht? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	Did n’t you know that? ” “ I know little of her family. ” “ It is the fact.
nyp.33433112011410	Did the Halcyon carry passengers? ” 80 THE TYPHOON ’S SECRET “ She carried one that voyage, anyway, ” said Oleson.
nyp.33433112011410	Did the beasts find the flaw, and pierce the armour?
nyp.33433112011410	Do you intend to tell me?
nyp.33433112011410	Do you not see that we have about everything on her that it is wise to carry in cruising, topsails and all?
nyp.33433112011410	Do you take it? ” “ Of course I take it.
nyp.33433112011410	Do you think that I would advise a client to forge, sir, and to steal?
nyp.33433112011410	Does n’t that sound like an advertisement from a real, live Eng- lish newspaper published in Asia?
nyp.33433112011410	Ever been in her? ” “ I made the run to Good Hope as a ’ prentice in her, ” said McGreal.
nyp.33433112011410	Ever sail in a yacht? ” “ Sar, many time! ” “ We lost our cabin boy at Hongkong.
nyp.33433112011410	Harran?
nyp.33433112011410	How was he to be sure that he would not have to run down to Ventura, losing several hours, to get the help the man might need?
nyp.33433112011410	How you headed, sir? ” “ For Spreckels ’ wharf.
nyp.33433112011410	I could n’t do all he wanted anyway, sir. ” “ So you left him, and turned tramp to get another ship?
nyp.33433112011410	I did. ” “ Everything?
nyp.33433112011410	I know what I do not want, at least. ” “ I am to assume that you will take — your fortunes — away from San Francisco? ” queried the lawyer.
nyp.33433112011410	I suppose that the yacht can follow any- where that a tramp can go? ” “ Around the world, ” answered Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	I suppose you always un- derstood that? ” “ I suppose that I did.
nyp.33433112011410	I will stand watch, and guard the ship. ” “ You will ride here until morning, of course? ” queried Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	I wonder what the new President would say, in the event that those debenture bonds Allison brought from New York should be presented for negotiation?
nyp.33433112011410	If Captain Robert Graeme is her brother?
nyp.33433112011410	If he holds the same course all night to- night that he held last night — why, then we will see. ” “ How will we see? ” persisted Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	If that impression were well founded, what had turned the man into a tramp?
nyp.33433112011410	Is the Korea passing in?
nyp.33433112011410	It is ended, then? ” AN ARTIST IN COCKTAILS 207 poop.
nyp.33433112011410	It is not usual. ” “ What will it be worth to take it? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	It is so much more comfortable to have a man to stand your watch. ” “ Why do n’t you get my friend McGreal?"
nyp.33433112011410	It is usually better to let dead men lie. ”'“ What do you mean by that? ” asked Wentworth, half starting up.
nyp.33433112011410	It seemed to Went?
nyp.33433112011410	Make me a cocktail, will you?
nyp.33433112011410	Man, think of it! ” “ And what good will the degree do me?
nyp.33433112011410	McGreal handles her, well, does n’t he? ” “ And himself better.
nyp.33433112011410	Miss Graeme will excuse me, I am sure?
nyp.33433112011410	My name, as Mr. McGreal here knows, is Oleson — Arvad Oleson, sir. ” “ Who was the passenger? ” asked Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	Of course he could n’t throw a man overboard after he was on deck and she was outside, d’you see?
nyp.33433112011410	Only the captain and two men saved?
nyp.33433112011410	Penworthy?
nyp.33433112011410	Shall I send it after you? ” “ Give it to my friend, Mr. Allison, ” replied Went- worth, after a moment ’s thought.
nyp.33433112011410	That will land me there before sunset to- morrow. ” “ You mean to go to- night?
nyp.33433112011410	The Captain beat you, I suppose, and the food was poor, and all the rest of it? ” “ The food was bad enough, sir.
nyp.33433112011410	The families were neighbours on Nob Hill, you know. ” “ And the brother?
nyp.33433112011410	The hotel people will come for them, likely. ” “ Had a long drive, sir? ” “ Four hundred miles.
nyp.33433112011410	The lee of the point in there would give some protection, and I would n’t wonder! ” “ Could we make it? ” cried Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	The man who wore a pongee every day, and who was always with Captain Graeme? ” “ That is the man, ” agreed Pray.
nyp.33433112011410	The men are not here. ” “ Not here, sir? ” exclaimed McGreal.
nyp.33433112011410	The natives are a pretty savage lot hereabouts. ” “ Japs have n’t got ’em tamed yet, eh? ” asked Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	The other man must have been his father — or the Englishman?
nyp.33433112011410	Then Allison asked: “ Where are we? ” “ God only knows! ” replied McGreal.
nyp.33433112011410	Then Charlie said, as they set down their glasses, “ Have one on the house, sir? ” “ N o more, thanks, ” replied Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	Then, turning to Allison: “ You say that the elder Graeme was a sailor? ” “ He was Scotch.
nyp.33433112011410	There ’s a ship lying therehwith a survivor of the Halcyon on board. ” “ The Halcyon, sir? ” McGreal had stopped in his tracks.
nyp.33433112011410	They must have played upon him shame- fully. ” “ Has he recovered consciousness? ” asked Mar- garet.
nyp.33433112011410	They sailed three days ago. ” “ Do you know for what port? ” asked Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	They stayed there. ” “ In Honolulu? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Where is the Hancock? ” asked Wentworth, next.
nyp.33433112011410	They stayed there. ” “ In Honolulu? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Where is the Hancock? ” asked Wentworth, next.
nyp.33433112011410	Want him yourself?
nyp.33433112011410	Was the en- dorsement on the bonds a forgery — and, if so, by whom forged?
nyp.33433112011410	Was — was anybody lost, sir? ” “ Captain and two men saved, ” replied Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	We may be half a mile from land, and we may be ten miles. ” THE MENACE OF THE SEA 199 “ We are inside the reef? ” queried Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	We propose to go after her in Mr. Allison ’s yacht. ” “ To Iloilo, sir? ” “ To Nagasaki.
nyp.33433112011410	What are the others like? ” “ One is a Firm and there are two Chinese.
nyp.33433112011410	What did it all matter, now?
nyp.33433112011410	What had William Chester to do with the captain of the Halcyon, who came to San Francisco only to pick up a passenger, in defiance of the law?
nyp.33433112011410	What ship were you in last? ” “ Sar, it is the Montrose Castle; port of London.
nyp.33433112011410	Which way to jump?
nyp.33433112011410	Why did he leave home? ” “ Some difficulty about government.
nyp.33433112011410	Why did you turn hobo, then?
nyp.33433112011410	Why waste it on me?
nyp.33433112011410	Why? ” “ Well, there ’s Charlie Stringham, managing editor of the Call, over there.
nyp.33433112011410	You are most sel- fishly unprovided. ” “ Brooks? ” queried Allison, in reply.
nyp.33433112011410	You here?
nyp.33433112011410	You keep the arms aft, I suppose? ” “ All but the brass four- pounder.
nyp.33433112011410	You left her in San Francisco, I suppose? ” “ But I had found her in Paris, and again in San Francisco.
nyp.33433112011410	You never knew him by any other name? ” “ I am dying, ” replied Robert Graeme, looking up at her.
nyp.33433112011410	You say that your father recovered completely from the effect of his injury in that automobile accident — but, did he?
nyp.33433112011410	You will never succeed at that trade. ” “ Too many Indians about, eh, sir? ” “ Well, too many Indians, and motor cars.
nyp.33433112011410	Your father began many things — and completed few. ” “ There is nothing left, then, sir?
nyp.33433112011410	Your ship?
nyp.33433112011410	\ “ M- me, sir?
nyp.33433112011410	get the full story, will you, please?
nyp.33433112011410	of the tramp freighter Halcyon on Guam?
nyp.33433112011410	you, Jim?
nyp.33433112011410	“ A typhoon? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Ainsworth? ” he repeated.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And Brooks?
nyp.33433112011410	“ And I will pay him$ 50 a month in gold. ” “ What do you think of that, Arvad? ” asked McGreal.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And Oleson, here, too? ” went on Allison, eagerly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And college? ” he queried.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And now, about making your living? ” “ I might get a clerkship somewhere? ” suggested Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And now, about making your living? ” “ I might get a clerkship somewhere? ” suggested Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And now, where are you stopping? ” “ Here, ” replied Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And that man was? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ And then?
nyp.33433112011410	“ And whose was the stronger hand? ” “ I do not know enough of your father ’s concerns to justify a conclusion.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Are the gentlemen here now? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ But I do not make out why he did not run away from us in the night. ” “ Could he have done that?
nyp.33433112011410	“ But this is hell, ai n’t it? ” He went back to wiping glasses, whistling softly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ But we will find out to- day, or, at the latest, to- morrow morning. ” “ How? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ But what of that?
nyp.33433112011410	“ But what? ” “ You knew nothing of your father ’s affairs? ” queried Upson.
nyp.33433112011410	“ But what? ” “ You knew nothing of your father ’s affairs? ” queried Upson.
nyp.33433112011410	“ But you surely do not mean that I must abandon, even for the time being, all effort to get at the bottom of this thing? ” “ Not at all.
nyp.33433112011410	“ By the living God! ” “ What is it?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Ca n’t a woman even let a man die in peace?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Can you come along with me for an hour or two? ” asked the newspaper man.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Could it have been the result of that auto ac- cident?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Did n’t you ever heard of a shipwreck before? ” 78 THE TYPHOON ’S SECRET “ The Halcyon, sir! ” said McGreal, feebly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Did the — did the Indian hit anybody else, mate? ”.the man asked, putting his whole weight upon Went- worth ’s shoulder.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Did you see the other one? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Do I not say that I must be crazy? ” replied Went- worth.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Do they all rush through here like bats out of Hades? ” asked the wayfarer, grinning in his turn.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Do you realize what is implied by that ques- tion? ” flashed Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Found a ship yet? ” “ Yes, sir; I got a berth on the transport Sherman.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Got a ship, mate? ” asked McGreal, patronizingly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Harran was Margaret ’s guardian, was n’t he? ” “ Only a trustee, ” replied Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Have any trouble, Captain? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ How are you, Upson?
nyp.33433112011410	“ How do, Mr. Wentworth? ” said the barkeeper, extending his hand across the bar, and smoothing down his white apron.
nyp.33433112011410	“ I rely upon the last two ingredients added to hold the mixture stable. ” “ McGreal and Oleson?
nyp.33433112011410	“ I wonder if he is badly hurt?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Is the yacht here, sir? ” asked McGreal.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Know anything about these machines? ” “ Not a thing, sir.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Margaret Graeme? ” rejoined Wentworth.
nyp.33433112011410	“ My ship? ” parried the stranger.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Not gone yet? ” asked the other, turning from 76 THE TYPHOON ’S SECRET the phone.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Nothing. ” “ Nor of his business associates —— and associa- tions? ” “ Not much more than everyone knew.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Oh, my father’s — friends?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Oh, you are Wentworth? ” he said, turning, with the receiver still held to his ear.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Oleson, I suppose? ” muttered Allison in a low tone.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Pretty high, is n’t it, all things considered?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Ready for duty, Miguel? ” asked the owner.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Shall I put up the Green Flyer, sir? ” asked Sprocket.
nyp.33433112011410	“ She lies behind the seawall, about 200 yards outside the Sherman. ” “ Which one of them is it, sir?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Some room?
nyp.33433112011410	“ The Captain wanted you to abuse the sailors, I suppose? ” he said.
nyp.33433112011410	“ The Halcyon was a total loss? ” “ No more than the bones of her left by this, ” replied Oleson.
nyp.33433112011410	“ The Indian? ” Wentworth repeated, puzzled for a moment — and then smiled.
nyp.33433112011410	“ The sailor- highwayman?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Then I ’ll look for a job. ” “ Ever do newspaper work? ” asked Upson.
nyp.33433112011410	“ This is hell, Mr. Wentworth, ai n’t it? ” said the barkeeper.
nyp.33433112011410	“ This the man? ” queried Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Want me to stand up in the road and be hit again? ” Wentworth laughed at this and it did him good.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Well, ” said Charlie, sighing as he put the glasses away, “ this is hell, Mr. Wentworth, ai n’t it?
nyp.33433112011410	“ What did you leave your ship for, anyway? ” he asked, plu- mping the question at the other sud- denly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ What do you know about that? ” asked Went- worth of Allison, as they turned to go down into the cabin for their bath and to dress.
nyp.33433112011410	“ What do you want with it?
nyp.33433112011410	“ What is it that has carried away? ” “ Tire punctured! ” replied Wentworth, briefly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ What is your name? ” asked Allison next, looking at the man in puzzled fashion.
nyp.33433112011410	“ What is your name? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ What was her lading?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Where do you make out we are, Mr. Andressen?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Where was the good of letting my thoughts linger on Margaret? ” he asked, taking up another phase of the subject.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Which one of them? ” repeated Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Why did you ask about that game cock, anyway? ” he queried.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Will you head out toward her? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ Worse?
nyp.33433112011410	“ Wrong with him? ” echoed Lycurgus.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You are really going to- night, John? ” the latter asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You have read the newspapers, I suppose? ” said the lawyer, coldly.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You honestly do not believe that my father is dead? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You know me?
nyp.33433112011410	“ You know the Petrel is Miss Graeme ’s yacht? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You mean that it was necessary to eliminate my father in someone ’s interest? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You mean to say she has kept up with us close- hauled while we have been carrying on? ” asked Allison.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You say that you want to get to Santa Barbara? ” was the next question.'
nyp.33433112011410	“ You will have shore leave to- night? ” he asked the sailor, at the same time making a motion with one hand to stop a passing cochero.
nyp.33433112011410	“ You will not go without seeing her, John? ” he asked.
nyp.33433106908167	Have you lent or given away any of the papers, mother?
nyp.33433106908167	I? nyp.33433106908167 Is he gone, Joyce?"
nyp.33433106908167	Joyce,she queried, “ do you ever feel people to be near you before you see them?"
nyp.33433106908167	Oh, Mab darling, can you not give the place a name?
nyp.33433106908167	Oh, Uncle Archie, go to- morrow; why not? ” cried Joyce. nyp.33433106908167 Well, dear, why not re- commence your district visiting?
nyp.33433106908167	What can Kathleen have to cry about?
nyp.33433106908167	Why, Kathleen, what is it?
nyp.33433106908167	'Why-- why should n't you read poetry, if you like? ” she cried.
nyp.33433106908167	'” “ Did I make use of that expression?
nyp.33433106908167	** Where are those men now? ” “ Bryan O'Shea is waiting at the corner of the court till I come.
nyp.33433106908167	23 or for ever bringing out his words with a jerk, or stopping short in the middle of every other sentence he uttered?"
nyp.33433106908167	59 had spoken out plainly, and shown unmistakably how unwelcome they are in the house? ” Change your seat, dear, for this sofa.
nyp.33433106908167	?
nyp.33433106908167	Above all, what was their object in thus making themselves free of a house where they had more than once been made to understand they were unwelcome?
nyp.33433106908167	Ah, did you notice it, Joyce? ” said Mrs. Shenstone, looking pleased and flattered.
nyp.33433106908167	And also what have you to do with the gentleman?
nyp.33433106908167	And before Frank?
nyp.33433106908167	And why on earth have you your hat and cloak on, Joyce?"
nyp.33433106908167	Are they going to turn this room into a sleeping- apartment, or what have they in their heads now?"
nyp.33433106908167	As thus: “ Was not the sacrifice he had made to his pride compounded in part of her happiness?"
nyp.33433106908167	Buckingham cross- questioned her as to who was Ned, what were his surroundings, what was his occupation?
nyp.33433106908167	But not yet- no, and I do n't want it to be yet. ” “ You want to try and forgive him first?"
nyp.33433106908167	But oh, what will Uncle Archie say? ” “ What will you say to Uncle Archie? ” That's the point, I think, ” laughed Joyce.
nyp.33433106908167	But oh, what will Uncle Archie say? ” “ What will you say to Uncle Archie? ” That's the point, I think, ” laughed Joyce.
nyp.33433106908167	But on which side was victory likely to fall?
nyp.33433106908167	But was this sleep?
nyp.33433106908167	But were they possibilities of which she dared take advantage?
nyp.33433106908167	But what could have put such kindly forethought as this into the captain's head?
nyp.33433106908167	But you'll never believe this, Joyce, will you? ” Here she sat up on her couch, and put her arms all round her sister.
nyp.33433106908167	By- the- by, did I tell you that Friday evenings are to be an institution weekly throughout the sea- son?
nyp.33433106908167	Could any ill- adventure have befallen them?
nyp.33433106908167	Could it have been nothing but a hoax after all?
nyp.33433106908167	Could she afford this or that luxury or piece of extravagance?"
nyp.33433106908167	Could she do nothing, absolutely nothing, to save him?
nyp.33433106908167	Could you live under the same roof with that man?
nyp.33433106908167	Did n't I marry Bryan O'Shea on purpose to find out?"
nyp.33433106908167	Did n't you know? ” Joyce drew a long breath of relief and said a mental thanksgiv- ing.
nyp.33433106908167	Did not his previous knowledge of the man point to a diametrically opposite conclusion?
nyp.33433106908167	Did they not all four, so far as regarded treasonable conspiracy, stand upon the same foot- ing?
nyp.33433106908167	Do n't you know that the business of the loud- mouthed democrat is to set the police on false scents from year's end to year's end?
nyp.33433106908167	Do n't you see my necessity?
nyp.33433106908167	Do n't you see she likes him?
nyp.33433106908167	Do n't you think, dear, it would be wiser not to spend so much time among your poor people?
nyp.33433106908167	Do you know the names of any of these people?"
nyp.33433106908167	Do you know, Mab has lately taken to speaking her thoughts out loud?.
nyp.33433106908167	Do you think he could have heard her, Uncle Archie?"
nyp.33433106908167	Do you understand now, sir?"
nyp.33433106908167	Does that mean that poetry is a terra incognita to you?
nyp.33433106908167	Earning so much money she supposed that he could afford to scorn the idea of service?"
nyp.33433106908167	Had the mantle of the dead sister fallen upon her?
nyp.33433106908167	Has he really made up his mind to go to London- will nothing make him give up the idea? ” “ Nothing, Miss Mab, I'm sure.
nyp.33433106908167	Have a cup of tea, mother? ” Mrs. Shenstone was thankful for a cup of tea.
nyp.33433106908167	He admitted readily enough that the game was not without its risks — whenever was there a game worth playing that did not in- clude risks?
nyp.33433106908167	He gets a pound a week; I do n't suppose he saves on that. ” “ How long has he been there?
nyp.33433106908167	How am I to do it, I should like to know?"
nyp.33433106908167	How can I make you understand?
nyp.33433106908167	How could she?
nyp.33433106908167	How could they make room for so many within the small compass of their huts?
nyp.33433106908167	How far out would the beacon on the Monk Rock be seen?
nyp.33433106908167	How long, in common reason, may it be expected of me to remain here waiting for some sign of his existence?"
nyp.33433106908167	I daresay there will be plenty of young men about the house- mother always did like young men about, did n't she?"
nyp.33433106908167	I losing my reason, and do n't know what you are saying to me, or is it you- you who are losing yours and slipping out of my grasp?"
nyp.33433106908167	I mean, did he seem to be like Mab, always forcing him- self to act up to some preconceived ideas?
nyp.33433106908167	I should say he never speaks until he has given careful thought to what he has to say. ”* What of that? ” cried Joyce, scornfully.
nyp.33433106908167	I wonder what has become of him?
nyp.33433106908167	I'm looking for one dated September 15th; do you happen to have it? ” Mrs. Shenstone breathed again.
nyp.33433106908167	If I let the books alone, what may I touch?
nyp.33433106908167	If he could not be found, and induced to face Buckingham for her, what alterna- tive remained?
nyp.33433106908167	If you'd been there we should have done it in half the time. ” “ Is it likely I should have aided and abetted?
nyp.33433106908167	In it, no doubt, he read a page of past history, or, per- haps, a line or two of blessed hope for a future meeting-- who could say?
nyp.33433106908167	Is any one looking after you?
nyp.33433106908167	Is n't that enough to bring the law upon him?"
nyp.33433106908167	Is n't that it?"
nyp.33433106908167	Is that true, Joyce? ”"Perfectly so.
nyp.33433106908167	Is there anything in this house that does n't put me out, I should like to know?
nyp.33433106908167	It's not with Mab's practical?
nyp.33433106908167	Joyce sorely needed a counsellor in this emergency, but where was one to be found?
nyp.33433106908167	Kathleen, ” interrupted Mrs. Shenstone, “ how is it you've dropped your pretty brogue?
nyp.33433106908167	Let me understand what ground we are on. ” Supposing I decline to answer your question, what then?"
nyp.33433106908167	May I read the titles of your lending library?
nyp.33433106908167	Mother, is it possible?"
nyp.33433106908167	Must I condemn it, or shall I get it re- trimmed with blush- rose tints?"
nyp.33433106908167	My dear, do you know your uncle was sixty- five last week, and ca n't be expected to fly about the country like a bird?"
nyp.33433106908167	Ned, why in Heaven's name am I tied in this way – what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now what room in the house is most unlike a study?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now will you do what I want you get me free of those two men, Maurice and Bryan O'Shea, for the next twenty- four hours?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now will you tell me why it is that you and your sister do not talk the least bit in the world like any other Americans I have ever heard?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now, I ask you, was that enough to put him in a tearing rage, and make him call me “ madam,"instead of “ my child, ” all the rest of the day?
nyp.33433106908167	Now, can you recommend one?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now, do n't you think we ought to begin getting the flowers?
nyp.33433106908167	Now, what good has your marriage with Bryan done for me, I should like to know, after all the fine talk he and Maurice made over it?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now, why is it you so seldom write to me?"
nyp.33433106908167	Now, wo n't that be splendid?
nyp.33433106908167	Now, would you say that gun came from north, south, east, or west?"
nyp.33433106908167	Oh, dear, what's this on the floor?"
nyp.33433106908167	Oh, follow her;, what is she going to do?"
nyp.33433106908167	Or may I consider that I have fulfilled every claim that honor or gratitude can have upon me, and return to my friends? ” It was a complex question.
nyp.33433106908167	Or thus: “ Was it not rather like straining at a gnat and swal- lowing a camel, in the circumstances, to sacrifice to his pride at all?
nyp.33433106908167	Others might have equal good luck, why not?
nyp.33433106908167	Rasp- berry, or strawberry, or vanilla did you say, sir?"
nyp.33433106908167	Shall I go and ask Donovan to cut a basket- full? ” Which remark, it will be seen, was in no sort an answer to Joyce's question.
nyp.33433106908167	Shall I tell you what my reply will be?"
nyp.33433106908167	Shall I tell you what their answer will be?"
nyp.33433106908167	Shall I?
nyp.33433106908167	She answered calmly enough, though with an effort: “ If influence is bad, it is well to resist it. ” “ But if good, what then?
nyp.33433106908167	She caught a glimpse of Frank as he paused irresolutely outside, and whispered the hurried question: “ Have you seen Mab anywhere?
nyp.33433106908167	She does n't see him on the sly, does she?
nyp.33433106908167	She played decently, too, did n't she? ” · Decently!
nyp.33433106908167	Slip away quietly, take a cab to Scotland Yard, and find out how much mischief it was likely his hot temper had wrought?
nyp.33433106908167	So Joyce had to endure half an hour of bewildering suspense with the unanswered question,"Where is Frank?
nyp.33433106908167	Surely you would not go? ”.
nyp.33433106908167	Tell me, dear, ” she asked, gently, “ how is it you have learned to- to- like this man in the way you do?"
nyp.33433106908167	Tell me, do you think you will like long journeys and short rests for a time?
nyp.33433106908167	The captain's dead — ” Where is Maurice O'Shea?"
nyp.33433106908167	The fog, too, might lift before night- why not?
nyp.33433106908167	This is my share of the bargain, is n't it?"
nyp.33433106908167	Three years of a most brilliant career she had. ” “ And then? ” asked Mab, again under her breath, and drawing another step nearer to him.
nyp.33433106908167	Two nights ago, I suppose; when he was staying here! ” Do you imagine I'm telling lies, young lady? ” And did he hear her?
nyp.33433106908167	Two nights ago, I suppose; when he was staying here! ” Do you imagine I'm telling lies, young lady? ” And did he hear her?
nyp.33433106908167	Uncle Archie, let me have that letter, and read it all to myself, will you?"
nyp.33433106908167	Was it sleep or trance?
nyp.33433106908167	Was this Joyce, the common- place, the clear- headed writing?
nyp.33433106908167	Well, what if I did have a birthday last week,"he said, rasp- ingly, “ I'm none the worse for it this week, am I?
nyp.33433106908167	Were shipwrecks of frequent occurrence on the coast?
nyp.33433106908167	What are we to do when we get there?"
nyp.33433106908167	What are we to do?".
nyp.33433106908167	What concern is it of his whether Joyce is better or worse? ” Frank once asked savagely of Mab.
nyp.33433106908167	What could be goading him on to such mad folly?
nyp.33433106908167	What does Mab say to it all?"
nyp.33433106908167	What does it mean?
nyp.33433106908167	What does it mean?
nyp.33433106908167	What evidence had he to offer that would inculpate the three other crimi- nals and leave Donovan unimpeached?
nyp.33433106908167	What for?
nyp.33433106908167	What had he better do?
nyp.33433106908167	What have you and the captain and Bryan O'Shea done with him?"
nyp.33433106908167	What if it were his desperate love for her that was driving him to throw his life away in this reckless fashion?
nyp.33433106908167	What is to be done?
nyp.33433106908167	What is trans- forming Mab in this way?
nyp.33433106908167	What say you, mother? ” Kathleen gave a violent start, and a curious look flitted athwart her face.
nyp.33433106908167	What was he doing?
nyp.33433106908167	What was their occupation, if any, in life?
nyp.33433106908167	What was their position in their own country?
nyp.33433106908167	What will you put in the middle of it?"
nyp.33433106908167	What's the idea, Mab?"
nyp.33433106908167	What's the world coming to?"
nyp.33433106908167	Where did he and you separate?"
nyp.33433106908167	Where did you go, Mab?
nyp.33433106908167	Where has he gone? ” she asked, in a be- wildered tone, looking about her uncertainly.
nyp.33433106908167	Where is Mr. Ledyard?
nyp.33433106908167	Where was the chance now of getting at the secret this man held?
nyp.33433106908167	Who would have thought that father had ever in his whole life been an admirer of the poets?
nyp.33433106908167	Whose business is it, if it is n't yours? ”.
nyp.33433106908167	Why did n't I hear you come in?"
nyp.33433106908167	Why should he not go out with me?"
nyp.33433106908167	Why, she looked years older than I do, and as for good looks —""Was she a friend of Sylvia's, and also an American?
nyp.33433106908167	Will that do? ” For a moment Kathleen remained silent.
nyp.33433106908167	Will you tell me that, my girl?
nyp.33433106908167	Will you tell me that?"
nyp.33433106908167	Would Ned's chances of escape of necessity be endangered?
nyp.33433106908167	Would it lose half its radiance, or would the fog quench it alto- gether?
nyp.33433106908167	Would n't it be better to visit them, say once a week, instead of every day?"
nyp.33433106908167	Would the man never come back?
nyp.33433106908167	all with independent fortunes, and no one to look after you. ” “ You come up and do the jailor, why not?
nyp.33433106908167	asked one of these, seeing"where has she gone?"
nyp.33433106908167	cried Uncle Archie, jumping up in a towering rage,"you do n't mean to say you are keeping up a correspondence with that wretched woman?"
nyp.33433106908167	do n't you see, Miss Joyce?
nyp.33433106908167	for what?"
nyp.33433106908167	how could you? ” cried Mab, her eyes filling with tears, her cheeks aflame.
nyp.33433106908167	« •Hon- est and straightforward,'did you say?"
nyp.33433106908167	· How will you begin your letter, how end it?
nyp.33433106908167	· Law Courts again! ” murmured Joyce, “ but why lay so much stress on mother's words?
nyp.33433106908167	· Mother, ” said Mab, abruptly rising from the table, “ will you mind going through the housekeeping books with me this morning?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Addressed to Frank, was it? ” This was asked with a little show of nervous apprehen- sion.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Ah, were you fool enough to expect any good for yourself out of that?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Am I intruding? ” Sylvia asked, patronizingly and amiably as usual.
nyp.33433106908167	“ And that beautiful girl all in blue, with a dove's eyes and the walk of a peacock?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ And that tall, thin man, bald and bearded, with eyes like a fer- ret's and ears like a bat's, who was he? ” “ How you describe people, Joyce!
nyp.33433106908167	“ Are you insinuating a compliment?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Are you looking for any one, sir?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Are you out of your mind?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Are you referring to Mr. Ledyard?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Ask Donovan?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ But, dear, why did you not say so, it could so easily have been managed?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Compare your strength, your duration with ours, and what are you? ” they seemed to say, in one mocking voice.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Did he come back with me- Ned Donovan, I mean?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Did my mother say that?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Did the gentleman give any reason for not driving home with the young lady? ” he asked.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Dig, dig for what?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Do you mean to say you think Mr. Ledyard has fallen into the hands of any of these people, these Fenians and dynamiters?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Do you mean,'Is it possible'for a gentleman with eyes in his head to see that my hands are white and slender?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Do you remember one that Frank signed in pencil, mother, and sent to you while we were away at the sea?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Do you remember the hermit- crabs we used to catch at Rhyl, Mab?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Do you think if you told me a story exactly the reverse I should believe one syllable of it?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Do you want to know what time it is? ” he said, his low, strained tones showing that he was at white heat.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Fun in a study?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Have you friends in this place?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ How I found out?
nyp.33433106908167	“ How could I what, dear?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ How dare she come creeping into rooms in this way?
nyp.33433106908167	“ How would you like a quiet little village in Switzerland among the hills and lakes?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ How's this, young lady?
nyp.33433106908167	“ I suppose he forgot he was addressing an English lady? ” “ No; that was the point of it all.
nyp.33433106908167	“ I suppose you know the penalty attached to insubordination?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ If father were alive, do you think he would have allowed any of us to call such a man as that, friend?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Irish both? ” “ No, American.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is it a conundrum,"laughed Mab; or do you wish for a straightforward answer?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is it catching, doctor?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is that true, Kathleen? ” he asked; and there came a softer note in his voice now.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is this intended for an insult?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is this what you call keeping an eye on things?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is this what you call'giving'em rope enough'? ” he de- A DATELESS BARGAIN.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Is what possible, Joyce?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ It does n't seem the right thing to do with ink- bottles, and where-- where shall I throw the ink?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ JOYCE, why do n't you curse me?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Mab, ” said Frank, taking her hand, “ will you go at once to Joyce?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Miss Joyce,"she whispered, scarcely above her breath,** you want to know why I married Bryan O'Shea?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Morton! ” he cried, indignantly, “ what in the name of fortune are you doing here?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Mother dear, who is your letter from?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Mother, dear, how long have you noticed this?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Mother, ” she asked, “ have you any spare numbers of the St. George's Gazette?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Nobody comes to me now, saying:'Mother dear, who are your letters from this morning?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Not a volume of fiction! ” he repeated; are you afraid of fiction?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Of course they're about the worst of the whole lot?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Of course, now you see so clearly what the man's intentions are, you'll end the intimacy at once, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Oh, mother, what do looks matter? ” Joyce had replied, wea- rily, shrinking from her mother as she never shrunk from her be- fore.
nyp.33433106908167	“ Poor Uncle Archie, ” she said, pityingły, “ what has put you out now?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Shall we all take it one after the other?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Sylvia darling,"she began, “ what do you advise about that black lace dress of mine?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Then what?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Uncle Archie and Aunt Bell will be starting in an hour or so; ca n't you give up your service for one day to see the last of them?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Uncle Archie,"she queried, peremptorily, “ was my father at any time like Mab in his ways? ” “ What do you mean?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Uncle Archie,"she queried, peremptorily, “ was my father at any time like Mab in his ways? ” “ What do you mean?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Was she running ahead in dress expenses?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Well, why not?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Well,"he said, in odd, quiet tones “ are you going to do your work?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ What am I to do, Joyce?
nyp.33433106908167	“ What became of her? ” asked Mab under her breath, and drawing a step nearer.
nyp.33433106908167	“ What becomes of you?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ What can Frank have to say to you?
nyp.33433106908167	“ What does that mean?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ What has any one of us to do with Mr. Ledyard, I should like to know?
nyp.33433106908167	“ What if the subject of the man's meditations at the present moment is to get round mother and make her marry him?
nyp.33433106908167	“ What is it?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ What is it?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ What lines, dear, and who has laid them down?
nyp.33433106908167	“ What say I? ” cried the mother.
nyp.33433106908167	“ What was it about, dear?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Whatever whim have you in your head now?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Where is Bryan?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Where was Ned now?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Whom do you feel near you to- night, dear?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Why did you — why did Ned ever have anything to do with the man, then, if you thought thus of him?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Why is he here at all?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Why should n't she choose what friends she pleases for herself?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Why take the trouble to tell me all this?"
nyp.33433106908167	“ Why — why, ” she stammered, looking well over Mrs. Shen- stone's head with wide- opened yet unseeing eyes, “ when did you come home, papa?
nyp.33433106908167	“ Wo n't you put your cloak on? ” he asked;"you pass a win- dow on your way to the music- room.
nyp.33433106908167	“ You must let me tell Uncle Archie, or how can I make use of what you tell me?
nyp.33433106908167	“ You — you can lift in a moment this awful load of agony from our hearts, and you are standing here making a bargain out of our necessity?"
nyp.33433106908167	• Do you think I would marry an O'Shea? ” said Kathleen's voice.
nyp.33433074942172	'Where's Sturgis?' nyp.33433074942172 'Where's Sturgis?'
nyp.33433074942172	7-talian, did you say, Miss Dean? nyp.33433074942172 A compliment?"
nyp.33433074942172	A doctor? nyp.33433074942172 A little what?"
nyp.33433074942172	About the house, Claude?
nyp.33433074942172	About the robbery, Julie? nyp.33433074942172 All gone, Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	Along with the other tramps, you would say? nyp.33433074942172 An angry man — mat's, que voulez- vous?
nyp.33433074942172	And Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	And Cray, Philip, how is he?
nyp.33433074942172	And Monsieur? nyp.33433074942172 And Monsieur?"
nyp.33433074942172	And Monsieur?
nyp.33433074942172	And the flowers I sent you? nyp.33433074942172 And why?"
nyp.33433074942172	And you, Frangois?
nyp.33433074942172	And you, Miss Dean, you were not fright- ened?
nyp.33433074942172	And you?
nyp.33433074942172	And — and, as how, Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	And, if I am not asking too much, your position at Highgrove Hall?
nyp.33433074942172	Are n't you going to town?
nyp.33433074942172	Are we, then, in that horrid Tower of Babel, Athena,she demanded, petulantly,"that I must listen to gibberish?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you a temperance girl? nyp.33433074942172 Are you able to answer a few questions, Miss De- rohan?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you alive, that you stand by and see a man killed without a sound? nyp.33433074942172 Are you attached to this place, to Highgrove, Philip?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you crazy?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you cross?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you glad you came, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you just from town, Dick?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you of stone?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you pleased with the toilet Dame Nature has made in your honor? nyp.33433074942172 Are you satisfied with me, Julie?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you sorry, now, that you struck him, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you willing to see me kept a prisoner? nyp.33433074942172 As adviser?"
nyp.33433074942172	Athena, are you awake?
nyp.33433074942172	Athena, you wo n't refuse to drink my health?
nyp.33433074942172	Athena,he burst out after a moment,"is there anything that you want most awfully?"
nyp.33433074942172	Athena,he said, breaking the long silence with the air of one who has come to a decision,"do you remember what Randal said at dinner to- night?"
nyp.33433074942172	Awfully sad about him, is n't it? nyp.33433074942172 Before the sun has had time to melt them?
nyp.33433074942172	Black people?
nyp.33433074942172	But if she marries?
nyp.33433074942172	Ca n't you speak English, Jewlee?
nyp.33433074942172	Ca n't you speak out? nyp.33433074942172 Can I?
nyp.33433074942172	Can you hear me through the door, Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	Can you spare so many, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Cold? nyp.33433074942172 Come to try your luck, Miss Dean?"
nyp.33433074942172	Come, hurry now, will ye?
nyp.33433074942172	Dancing attendance on Princesses, was n't that it, Evie?
nyp.33433074942172	De — mais de quoi? nyp.33433074942172 Dear Madam,"I asked, gently,"what is it you wish?
nyp.33433074942172	Did he hear what was said, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Did he tell you of the money I stupidly overlooked?
nyp.33433074942172	Did it happen while you were there, or after you left, Julie?
nyp.33433074942172	Did what happen, Mademoiselle? nyp.33433074942172 Did you attend night- school'sides goin'daytimes?
nyp.33433074942172	Did you know his friend?
nyp.33433074942172	Did you know that Julie Cray before you came here?
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't she look sweet?
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't torture me — he is dead?
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't you see Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't you see she's soaked through, too,'long o'savin'you? nyp.33433074942172 Do n't you see that your mistress is wet, you fool?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't you think you've had about enough?
nyp.33433074942172	Do you grudge me an extra bottle? nyp.33433074942172 Do you hear wheels?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do you mean a white woman or a white lady? nyp.33433074942172 Do you mean negroes, Madam?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do you mean that you take no interest in your 302 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON beauty, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 Do you mean to say, Miss, that he never spoke of me?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do you really like my — well, think me not un- pleasant looking, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Do you really want a doll, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Does Madame desire another wrap?
nyp.33433074942172	Does that look mean I'm not to know?
nyp.33433074942172	Eh bien, eh Menimpatiently,"the com- pliment in those ugly boards?
nyp.33433074942172	Eh~bien, tres chere,cried Madam;"you find 145 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON us busy, yes?
nyp.33433074942172	Erranti?
nyp.33433074942172	Five hundred — dollars, Claude?
nyp.33433074942172	Foolish child, what do you fear?
nyp.33433074942172	For the Land's sake, Mrs. Cray,he ejaculated, fingering the silks caressingly,"what's up?
nyp.33433074942172	For the land's sake, Norah,he exclaimed,"ai n't you never goin'to ask Miss Dean to be seated?
nyp.33433074942172	For whom do you mourn, my child?
nyp.33433074942172	Give us something English this time, will you?
nyp.33433074942172	Have I asked you to care for me, pray? nyp.33433074942172 Have a pin?"
nyp.33433074942172	Have they failed, like the ring, to suit your taste? nyp.33433074942172 Have you been to St. Malo, Percy?"
nyp.33433074942172	Have you never seen a whitened sepulchre before? nyp.33433074942172 How about Erranti?
nyp.33433074942172	How are you?
nyp.33433074942172	How came you here?
nyp.33433074942172	How can I thank you enough, Miss Dean,he said, in well- modulated tones,"for risking your valu- able life to save my worthless one?
nyp.33433074942172	How can I, with that man ill upstairs? nyp.33433074942172 How did you guess?"
nyp.33433074942172	How does it please thee, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	How long since?
nyp.33433074942172	How shall you like your master's going to a baker for bread? nyp.33433074942172 Hush, what was that?"
nyp.33433074942172	I do not please you — as I am?
nyp.33433074942172	I fear you are tired out, Miss Dean,he said, and his beautiful dark face wore an expression of great kindness;"may I send you a glass of wine?"
nyp.33433074942172	I have sinned past forgiveness?
nyp.33433074942172	I have your permission to try?
nyp.33433074942172	I may come in, maman?
nyp.33433074942172	I may settle with that Mrs.. Spuyten, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	I may smoke, serene- eyed lady?
nyp.33433074942172	I suppose de Rohan often talked of me? nyp.33433074942172 If she should?"
nyp.33433074942172	If you do n't mind, how old are you?
nyp.33433074942172	In my possession, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Is Cray at home?
nyp.33433074942172	Is Mr. St. John barred out?
nyp.33433074942172	Is Mrs. Sturgis poor, do you know?
nyp.33433074942172	Is he to have the ring, too?
nyp.33433074942172	Is it as bad as that, Miss Derohan? nyp.33433074942172 Is it as cold as the marble it resembles?"
nyp.33433074942172	Is it possible you are afraid of them?
nyp.33433074942172	Is it, then, to be returned, Madame?
nyp.33433074942172	Is that why the gates are kept locked?
nyp.33433074942172	Is the Englishman to have a doctor, Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	Is the mare ill, Larry?
nyp.33433074942172	Is there any reason that you should?
nyp.33433074942172	Is this fair play, wicked girl?
nyp.33433074942172	Is this my welcome, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 Is this true, Miss Dean?"
nyp.33433074942172	It is done,she cried, impatiently,"so why talk about it?
nyp.33433074942172	It is warm, is it not?
nyp.33433074942172	It was you Mr. Thorpe put into a cab?
nyp.33433074942172	Jealous of Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	Julie sleeps soundly? nyp.33433074942172 Later?"
nyp.33433074942172	Lord Ebbrides? nyp.33433074942172 Mad- emoiselle seeks her femme de chambre, perhaps?
nyp.33433074942172	Madame Derohan's brooch?
nyp.33433074942172	Madame's fete, Mademoiselle?
nyp.33433074942172	Madame's fete?
nyp.33433074942172	Mademoiselle is finished?
nyp.33433074942172	Mademoiselle is not pleased?
nyp.33433074942172	Mademoiselle will say nothing?
nyp.33433074942172	Mademoiselle,she continued, in the same hoarse whisper,"you go to talk with milord?"
nyp.33433074942172	Maman,he said, gently,"may I take Athena for a row?
nyp.33433074942172	Mary Grace's fiance? nyp.33433074942172 May I ask,"said an icy voice behind him,"if Mr. Percy has done well to leave his bed?
nyp.33433074942172	May I beg you to remain indoors during my absence? nyp.33433074942172 May I come to see you, Miss Derohan?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I hope to see you next Saturday?
nyp.33433074942172	May I speak to you alone, Miss Derohan? nyp.33433074942172 May I think it over, Madam?"
nyp.33433074942172	Meaning the doors in the boundary walls? nyp.33433074942172 Meaning you would otherwise have made me something?"
nyp.33433074942172	Message, Mademoiselle? nyp.33433074942172 Miss Derohan?"
nyp.33433074942172	Monsieur recommends that Mademoiselle awaits his return, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	Monsieur, Mademoiselle?
nyp.33433074942172	My dear Athena, ca n't you understand? nyp.33433074942172 Negroes?
nyp.33433074942172	Nemesis?
nyp.33433074942172	No? nyp.33433074942172 No?"
nyp.33433074942172	Not Mr. Bev- erley? nyp.33433074942172 Not if he were an Adonis — white as marble, wise as Solon, and rich as Crossus?"
nyp.33433074942172	Not with her devoted son?
nyp.33433074942172	Now, then, little Minerva,he would whisper as he caught me,"how many kisses am I to have?
nyp.33433074942172	Of course,said Randal,"who would n't?
nyp.33433074942172	Of the Charles Derohan who died — in May?
nyp.33433074942172	Oh, I say, what's up? nyp.33433074942172 Oh, by the way, Miss Dean, will you be so very 107 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON kind as to continue to preside at my table while the Hall is empty?
nyp.33433074942172	Oh, well, let's see — nose? nyp.33433074942172 Only eleven?
nyp.33433074942172	Only of novels, perhaps?
nyp.33433074942172	Pas du tout?
nyp.33433074942172	Percette? nyp.33433074942172 Percy?"
nyp.33433074942172	Perhaps,said my mother,"who can say?"
nyp.33433074942172	Pig?
nyp.33433074942172	Please me? nyp.33433074942172 Pray, how did we exist before we saw thy face, miss?"
nyp.33433074942172	Put the ring by the dagger, wo n't you?
nyp.33433074942172	Say, Miss Dean,he began, in a mysterious whis- 134 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON per,"just hold on a minute, will you?
nyp.33433074942172	See, Julie,I said, holding up the stiletto,"this emerald is exactly like the one in my mother's fa- vorite brooch — you remember?
nyp.33433074942172	Sent to meet — Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	Shall I have any luck, do you think?
nyp.33433074942172	Shall I read to you?
nyp.33433074942172	Shall you wear all your emeralds to- night, mamma?
nyp.33433074942172	Short weeks?
nyp.33433074942172	Should you cease to love me, mamma,I asked,"if I had the small- pox and grew ugly?"
nyp.33433074942172	Spuyten?
nyp.33433074942172	Suppose I announce our engagement to- night?
nyp.33433074942172	Sweet, ai n't it? nyp.33433074942172 Tell me first why you refuse me, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Tell me now of your uncle, Mr. Beverley,I said;"are you to live with him always?"
nyp.33433074942172	The Dutchman? nyp.33433074942172 The dinner does not please Mademoiselle?"
nyp.33433074942172	The music?
nyp.33433074942172	The pieces of silver,I asked,"or have I brought you gold?"
nyp.33433074942172	The room is for me, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	Then what do you wish?
nyp.33433074942172	Then where have you been? nyp.33433074942172 Then where have you been?"
nyp.33433074942172	Then why go to work so quietly with the mare?
nyp.33433074942172	Then why were you so angry?
nyp.33433074942172	Then will you go for a row this evening? nyp.33433074942172 Then you are quite alone in the world?"
nyp.33433074942172	Then you do n't care for a beautiful wife?
nyp.33433074942172	Then — if I may ask — why read them?
nyp.33433074942172	Think you'll get on with the old lady?
nyp.33433074942172	This pretty white frock,he asked gently, but eagerly,"is worn to please her?"
nyp.33433074942172	Thou hast done nothing to anger him, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 Three?"
nyp.33433074942172	To Russia, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 To follow me secretly?"
nyp.33433074942172	To whom are you speaking, pray? nyp.33433074942172 To — to get the coffin?"
nyp.33433074942172	Too elaborate, rich, heavy — for a young girl, yes?
nyp.33433074942172	Tramps?
nyp.33433074942172	Want to see the rooms? nyp.33433074942172 Weighing me in the balance, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Well, agent of the Devil, what does your master want?
nyp.33433074942172	Well, is it on?
nyp.33433074942172	Well, must I take it from you?
nyp.33433074942172	Well,she said, a note of contempt in her voice,"are you discovering the worm?"
nyp.33433074942172	Were n't you on your way somewhere when you heard me shout?
nyp.33433074942172	Were you terrified by what she said?
nyp.33433074942172	What about him?
nyp.33433074942172	What about telling Uncle Beverley, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	What am I to call you,I asked,"Claude or Raf- farty?"
nyp.33433074942172	What are you givin'us?
nyp.33433074942172	What are you saying, ma mere? nyp.33433074942172 What can he want when Mr. Erranti is away?"
nyp.33433074942172	What canst thou do to ward off this evil? nyp.33433074942172 What did he say?"
nyp.33433074942172	What do you mean, Julie, by offering to call me Madame?
nyp.33433074942172	What do you s'pose?
nyp.33433074942172	What does Mr. Erranti care for?
nyp.33433074942172	What does she want with common field- flowers? nyp.33433074942172 What does this mean?
nyp.33433074942172	What does this mean?
nyp.33433074942172	What does this rich dress mean, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 What has hap- pened?
nyp.33433074942172	What is coming, ma belle? nyp.33433074942172 What is it, Julie?
nyp.33433074942172	What is the matter?
nyp.33433074942172	What is your message?
nyp.33433074942172	What is?
nyp.33433074942172	What made you so late getting home, girls?
nyp.33433074942172	What matter?
nyp.33433074942172	What robe shall I put out?
nyp.33433074942172	What was the little cuss- word you used just now? nyp.33433074942172 What was you wishing, Miss Dean?"
nyp.33433074942172	What's it to me if he does escort other girls and put them in cabs? nyp.33433074942172 What's that sparkling in your lap, Maman?"
nyp.33433074942172	What's that, Erranti? nyp.33433074942172 What's your friend, Master Dick, been doing?"
nyp.33433074942172	What, for instance?
nyp.33433074942172	What, no one?
nyp.33433074942172	What, pray?
nyp.33433074942172	What?
nyp.33433074942172	When I say,'The Hand of Douglas is his own,'what do I mean, darling?
nyp.33433074942172	When Monsieur returns, perhaps?
nyp.33433074942172	When and where?
nyp.33433074942172	When did you come home?
nyp.33433074942172	When did you give Don to me, pray?
nyp.33433074942172	When did you return from California?
nyp.33433074942172	When did your father know him, pray, and where?
nyp.33433074942172	Where are you going? nyp.33433074942172 Where else, when Madam needed me — and Dick was dead?
nyp.33433074942172	Where is Monsieur Erranti?
nyp.33433074942172	Where is his mother?
nyp.33433074942172	Where is the bird? nyp.33433074942172 Where is your wrap, little woman?"
nyp.33433074942172	Where's your manners?
nyp.33433074942172	Where?
nyp.33433074942172	Which means,said Philip, slowly,"that you will live entirely in your own room and Maman's?"
nyp.33433074942172	Who ca n't get in?
nyp.33433074942172	Who is Frangois, and where is Claude?
nyp.33433074942172	Who is there, Francois?
nyp.33433074942172	Who is with Madam?
nyp.33433074942172	Who told me Dick was dead, you ask? nyp.33433074942172 Who told you all this, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Who was it, Norah?
nyp.33433074942172	Who?
nyp.33433074942172	Whose, pray?
nyp.33433074942172	Why did n't you pay the driver?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do n't you speak, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 Why do thine eyes shine?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do you deny me the right of saying that I love you?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do you wish to give me a doll when you do n't like me?
nyp.33433074942172	Why not teach her quickly with whip and spur?
nyp.33433074942172	Why, ma chere?
nyp.33433074942172	Why, then, that exultant look?
nyp.33433074942172	Why?
nyp.33433074942172	Why?
nyp.33433074942172	Will Mademoiselle breakfast in bed or rise?
nyp.33433074942172	Will Mademoiselle go to her?
nyp.33433074942172	Will it please Mademoiselle to resume her promenade?
nyp.33433074942172	Will you come with me, Mad- am, or remain here?
nyp.33433074942172	Will you dress now — Madame, or later?
nyp.33433074942172	Will you have the goodness to run ahead, sir, and get off them wet things? nyp.33433074942172 Will you let me give that brute the beating he so richly deserves, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you rest here, and go to the meadow later?
nyp.33433074942172	Wo n't you sit down?
nyp.33433074942172	Yes?
nyp.33433074942172	You accept, Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	You are fond of him?
nyp.33433074942172	You are fond of reading, Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	You are pleased to speak in parables,I said at last;"but where has my watch- dog gone?"
nyp.33433074942172	You are sure she would be willing?
nyp.33433074942172	You came on that train, Miss Derohan?
nyp.33433074942172	You consent to remain here for to- night? nyp.33433074942172 You did n't know I was going,"he said, an odd smile playing around his full lips,"so brought your mite?
nyp.33433074942172	You did not know that I loved you?
nyp.33433074942172	You do n't like him, either, do you, Percy?
nyp.33433074942172	You do n't look upon me as your jailer, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	You fail to understand? nyp.33433074942172 You fear to anger your master by obeying me, Frangois?
nyp.33433074942172	You forgive me, then?
nyp.33433074942172	You found him? nyp.33433074942172 You have come out for a moment's repose?
nyp.33433074942172	You have had a happy afternoon — all alone, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	You have orders to remain here with me?
nyp.33433074942172	You knew my father?
nyp.33433074942172	You mean stocks?
nyp.33433074942172	You mean you wo n't?
nyp.33433074942172	You praise her, Julie? nyp.33433074942172 You promise to take it, my Queen?"
nyp.33433074942172	You quite understand, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	You reely wish, tres chere Ateena, to me separate from this your lofely child?
nyp.33433074942172	You suspected no one?
nyp.33433074942172	You thought I should see through you, so told?
nyp.33433074942172	You will aid me in keeping this secret, Athena? nyp.33433074942172 You will at least do me the justice of hearing me out?"
nyp.33433074942172	You will keep it,murmured a sweet voice at my elbow,"and grant me the favor I beg?"
nyp.33433074942172	You will marry me, sweetheart?
nyp.33433074942172	You will not wear it, Mademoiselle?
nyp.33433074942172	You will win my mother's forgiveness for me?
nyp.33433074942172	You would atone, mediant, for the trick you played in the garden? nyp.33433074942172 You would have liked me better in the dia- monds?"
nyp.33433074942172	— I was interested —Had you and Cray already left Lord Ebbrides's service?"
nyp.33433074942172	— a look of terror in her bright eyes —never mind where I was born, I did not say, did I, ires chere?
nyp.33433074942172	— as I did not sit down—You wo n't stay?
nyp.33433074942172	— his voice had a ring of excitement—the lilies- of- the- valley?"
nyp.33433074942172	— taking the book from my hand and glancing at the title—you like these Essays?"
nyp.33433074942172	'Handsome is as handsome does'—have I said that right?
nyp.33433074942172	'I was your friend,'it said,'yet how do you treat my child?'
nyp.33433074942172	'Yes, yes; what is it?'
nyp.33433074942172	( Dost suppose the angels are dull, ma belle?
nyp.33433074942172	122 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"You speak in riddles,"he said, slowly, paling under his tan;"pray what are the lives of upper- servants to you, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	165 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"How about the Sphinx?
nyp.33433074942172	175 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"May I care for you to- night?"
nyp.33433074942172	190 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"Miss Derohan"— speaking very earnestly —"may I know why you refused to see me when I called?"
nyp.33433074942172	192 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"Will you go some other evening?"
nyp.33433074942172	20 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"The worm, mamma?"
nyp.33433074942172	209 XX For nearly two weeks after this episode Philip tapped gently at my door each morning, saying:"The horses are ready, Athena; will you come?"
nyp.33433074942172	223 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"Then why do you stay here, Julie?"
nyp.33433074942172	263 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"What are Monsieur's orders?"
nyp.33433074942172	357 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON “ Why does he fear, Mathilde? ” She raised her eyes from the work she had re- sumed, to stare at me dully.
nyp.33433074942172	394 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"I must wait?
nyp.33433074942172	44 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"Miss Dean?"
nyp.33433074942172	58 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON"Parents, too?"
nyp.33433074942172	A beauty, is n't it?
nyp.33433074942172	A carriage with boxes or a truck with furniture?"
nyp.33433074942172	A diamond pin, ma fille — no?
nyp.33433074942172	A doctor?"
nyp.33433074942172	A womanly occupation, the making of bread, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	AVho dare say?
nyp.33433074942172	Absence makes the heart grow — wrong?
nyp.33433074942172	Again that strange absurdity; who was its origi- nator?
nyp.33433074942172	Ah, I know, I know"—she wagged her head wisely—"what do I know?
nyp.33433074942172	Ah, little Athena — my God, child, what have we here?"
nyp.33433074942172	Ah, what was that?"
nyp.33433074942172	All save one large emerald, square, with a nick in one corner — your mother wore it as a brooch; you remember it?"
nyp.33433074942172	Am I tiring you, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Ami to see nothing after my weary crawl through this mouldy avenue, save surly Pat?
nyp.33433074942172	And I — what should I do?
nyp.33433074942172	And Monsieur, who is so proud of Mademoiselle's beauty?
nyp.33433074942172	And Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	And Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	And now, may I go through Mr. Derohan's papers?
nyp.33433074942172	And now,"he said, humbly,"may I slip on this slender finger the golden circlet that means my Heaven?"
nyp.33433074942172	And these two aristocrats — the English milords — with whom Mademoiselle is to dine?
nyp.33433074942172	And who dare hope for —'passionately'?"
nyp.33433074942172	And why?
nyp.33433074942172	And you, do you like black people?"
nyp.33433074942172	And — why should you care?"
nyp.33433074942172	Anyone told you about him?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are n't you glad to see an old friend?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are not these trees surpassingly lovely?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you American?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you afraid, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you ill?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you just a little bit happy, daughter of my friend?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you really stupid?
nyp.33433074942172	Are you timid?"
nyp.33433074942172	Are you tired, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Art sure he is not displeased?"
nyp.33433074942172	As I hesitated, not knowing how to answer, he said, abruptly:"Mr. Thorpe is going to England?"
nyp.33433074942172	As I left the room Julie whispered:"When Madame sleeps I will come, that together we may arrange this little matter of the toilette, n'est- ce pas?"
nyp.33433074942172	As for the third"—he smiled into my eyes —"what about her, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	As we crossed the meadow — the cows had disappeared — Mr. Thorpe gathered for me the few daisies left bloom- ing-"May I come with you?"
nyp.33433074942172	At last, raising his keen blue eyes to mine, he said:"Am I speaking to Miss Derohan — or to Miss Dean?"
nyp.33433074942172	Athena, can you hear anything?"
nyp.33433074942172	Athena, my dear child, are you the daughter of Charles De- rohan?"
nyp.33433074942172	Athena, what is it, dear?"
nyp.33433074942172	Back to the house?
nyp.33433074942172	Be- cause you look like a goddess?
nyp.33433074942172	But later, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	But pearls mean something sad, n'est- ce pas?"
nyp.33433074942172	But where might I find a purchaser for the ring?
nyp.33433074942172	But why, I wondered, was he so stern and care- worn, as if suffering from some poignant anx- iety?
nyp.33433074942172	Ca n't you do something besides stare?
nyp.33433074942172	Can you?
nyp.33433074942172	Cards?"
nyp.33433074942172	Come on, Macduff?
nyp.33433074942172	Come"—coaxingly—"what did you do to gain her good- will?
nyp.33433074942172	Come, is it a bargain?"
nyp.33433074942172	Could she really mean what she said?
nyp.33433074942172	Curious, n'est- ce pas, Julie?"
nyp.33433074942172	De — something — de — de?"
nyp.33433074942172	Derohan eat a good luncheon, Francois?'
nyp.33433074942172	Did He think me a very tire- some child?
nyp.33433074942172	Did I feel, or but imagine, a touch upon it?
nyp.33433074942172	Did I hear calling?"
nyp.33433074942172	Did I imagine it — could the woman be trying to suppress an amused smile?
nyp.33433074942172	Did he believe me capable of truckling to Madam Erranti for the sake of obtaining silken raiment and refurbished rooms?
nyp.33433074942172	Did he grudge the affection Madam showed for me?
nyp.33433074942172	Did he know, I wondered, that he treated me too famil- iarly?
nyp.33433074942172	Did odd mean daft?
nyp.33433074942172	Did she talk wildly?"
nyp.33433074942172	Did you know I had been brought up, like you, in Eu- rope?"
nyp.33433074942172	Did you linger on the road, mauvais sujet?"
nyp.33433074942172	Did you think me blind?
nyp.33433074942172	Did you?"
nyp.33433074942172	Didst ever hear the song of the nightin- gale?
nyp.33433074942172	Do I pretend to be romantically in love with you?
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't they please you, that you refuse to watch them grow?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do n't you think you arc a little prejudiced, Dick?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do you have it?"
nyp.33433074942172	Do you hear, Ran- dal St. John?
nyp.33433074942172	Do you know what she says, Erranti, when I tell her I ca n't make her out?
nyp.33433074942172	Do you know what torture you 373 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON have inflicted upon me to- night?
nyp.33433074942172	Do you wear a blue ribbon, color of my eyes, in your bonny yellow hair?"
nyp.33433074942172	Dreadful murders, horrid accidents — how now, child?
nyp.33433074942172	Erranti'in that formal way again?"
nyp.33433074942172	Erranti?"
nyp.33433074942172	Erranti?"
nyp.33433074942172	Erranti?"
nyp.33433074942172	First his letters stopped coming — you understand I am not Philip's wife?
nyp.33433074942172	For look, then, the savings of Mademoiselle are but a trifle — a few hun- dreds only, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	For the land's sake, can you read that queer gibberish?
nyp.33433074942172	Had Cray been an eavesdropper?
nyp.33433074942172	Had Frangois 352 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON forgotten to post it, after all?
nyp.33433074942172	Had I become the confederate of criminals?
nyp.33433074942172	Had I done wrong?
nyp.33433074942172	Had I, as Mad- am feared, vexed him in some unknown way?
nyp.33433074942172	Had Venus been forgotten?
nyp.33433074942172	Had he been eavesdropping?
nyp.33433074942172	Had he overheard our discussion of Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	Had he, as the Scotch say, a bee in his bonnet?
nyp.33433074942172	Had n't you better come along?"
nyp.33433074942172	Had n't you heard?
nyp.33433074942172	Had they come up to town for a few days sightseeing and remembered me?
nyp.33433074942172	Handsome large room, but kinder gloomy, this win- dow bein'north and that other, though east, under the hill — sort of shut in, ai n't it?
nyp.33433074942172	Hast thou won much money, Gambler?
nyp.33433074942172	Have I not seen thee with young Randal, whose life was saved by thy efforts?
nyp.33433074942172	Have you asked her what she will do?"
nyp.33433074942172	Have you lost your wits — as well as your hair- pins?"
nyp.33433074942172	Have you no pity?"
nyp.33433074942172	Have you?"
nyp.33433074942172	He asks no more?
nyp.33433074942172	He eyed my mother curiously for a few moments, then said, indifferently:"So our bet is off?"
nyp.33433074942172	He had gone away on horseback — what might the carriage mean?
nyp.33433074942172	He is content to work for Athena Derohan?
nyp.33433074942172	He is ill?
nyp.33433074942172	He is — dead?
nyp.33433074942172	His honor demanded,—Eh, Athena, you hear me?
nyp.33433074942172	How came Dick in Droneton at that hour?
nyp.33433074942172	How can I believe you care for me when you're so selfish?
nyp.33433074942172	How can I sleep with my brain in this dreadful whirl?
nyp.33433074942172	How can one help knowing?
nyp.33433074942172	How dared he drag back the past?
nyp.33433074942172	How did you discover that?"
nyp.33433074942172	How many knew?
nyp.33433074942172	How may one have appetite in this eternal gloom?
nyp.33433074942172	How might anyone admire her?
nyp.33433074942172	How might anyone think otherwise?
nyp.33433074942172	How obtain another sit- uation?
nyp.33433074942172	How, you would ask?
nyp.33433074942172	I am to ask Monsieur?"
nyp.33433074942172	I asked, idly — what did any household arrangement really matter to me?
nyp.33433074942172	I ca n't imagine what he wanted — can you?"
nyp.33433074942172	I could fight but one — which one?
nyp.33433074942172	I cried, running to him,"what is it?
nyp.33433074942172	I had always been treated with re- spect; how had I changed that strangers now dared deny it me?
nyp.33433074942172	I hope you understood it was Madam's ar- rangement?
nyp.33433074942172	I knew that had my father lived he would have paid in full, but — did his creditors understand?
nyp.33433074942172	I looked in terror — had one of my girlhood's friends come to visit me in my unhappy home?
nyp.33433074942172	I may go?"
nyp.33433074942172	I said to myself, why not?
nyp.33433074942172	I sat up in bed, wide awake and eager, but Mar- garet, asking angrily if they wished to keep"the bairn fra'her night's sleep wi'their daffin?"
nyp.33433074942172	I sometimes wonder why, why — yes, why?
nyp.33433074942172	I stood still, thinking, then said, slowly,"Weak people who do what he did usually leave letters say- ing why they did it, do n't they?"
nyp.33433074942172	I was not a thinking woman, why strive to change my nature?
nyp.33433074942172	I wondered why she feared Lord Eb- brides — if it were because of his coming that Cray had fallen ill?
nyp.33433074942172	I ’m not to see it again?
nyp.33433074942172	I'd just met with a great misfortune""Not lost money, I hope?"
nyp.33433074942172	I'll buckler thee agin a million — that sort of thing?"
nyp.33433074942172	I'll see to Miss Dean,"and as Mr. St. John obeyed,"He's awful sickly, ai n't he?
nyp.33433074942172	I'll send in my bill, never fear, but there's no hurry about it, 32 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON is there?
nyp.33433074942172	If I did, what words might rush out first?
nyp.33433074942172	If I found the situation not to my taste—"Ma foi, might Mademoi- selle not leave the robes behind when she went away?
nyp.33433074942172	If Mademoiselle desire, I will inform Monsieur St. John of her wish to speak with him?"
nyp.33433074942172	If winter should set in early — probably it wo n't this year — what harm can come to Mr. Thorpe in a well- warmed railway car?
nyp.33433074942172	In God's name, what are you doing here?"
nyp.33433074942172	Into the northeast room — the Blue Room?
nyp.33433074942172	Is he not charming, winning — of an intelligence ex- 82 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON treme?
nyp.33433074942172	Is it for me?
nyp.33433074942172	Is it possible you feel that way?
nyp.33433074942172	Is she a sphinx, or only a pagan, caught young and educated among Chris- tians?
nyp.33433074942172	Is that true?"
nyp.33433074942172	It desolates me to disoblige her — mais, que voulez- vous?
nyp.33433074942172	It is necessary, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	It is the Heart of the garden, n'est- ce pas, ma bien- aimee?
nyp.33433074942172	It is'yours, Mademoiselle?"
nyp.33433074942172	It was Philip's black blood that Is that he?
nyp.33433074942172	John?'"
nyp.33433074942172	Just turn your head a little, will you?
nyp.33433074942172	Later I may know his name, n'est- ce pas, petite?"
nyp.33433074942172	Looks severe enough to keep a fel- low straight, does n't she?
nyp.33433074942172	Ma foi"—smiling, patting my cheek again—"what mat- ter, I ask?
nyp.33433074942172	Madam laughed, a scornful little laugh, then said, in a very unpleasant manner:"Do you hear her, Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	Mademoiselle permits that I accompany her to her room?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I finish the story I began last night?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I get up?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I give a guess?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I have it by and by to keep as a souvenir?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I sit down?"
nyp.33433074942172	May I tell you her story here, upon the river, where no tattling eavesdroppers lurk to carry tales?"
nyp.33433074942172	Might I, at the eleventh hour, find a champion?
nyp.33433074942172	Miss Dean cook for me?
nyp.33433074942172	Mr. Thorpe laughed, but ruefully, then said,"May I ask if you are not the daughter of the late Charles Derohan?"
nyp.33433074942172	Mrs. Spuyten?
nyp.33433074942172	Must I be tortured, at this last moment, by her pleadings for her son?
nyp.33433074942172	Must I break the news of his shame to this upright man?
nyp.33433074942172	My expression evidently disappointing him, he contin- ued:"No, of course you do n't remember — why should you?
nyp.33433074942172	No, no; the absent are always — fond?
nyp.33433074942172	No, you wo n't?
nyp.33433074942172	No?
nyp.33433074942172	No?
nyp.33433074942172	Norah — all the others, gone?"
nyp.33433074942172	Not Philip — you are sure?
nyp.33433074942172	Not Randal?"
nyp.33433074942172	Not one?
nyp.33433074942172	Not that?
nyp.33433074942172	Not till she had finished did she speak; then:"The jewels, Mademoiselle?
nyp.33433074942172	Now, may I come with you through this dark wood?"
nyp.33433074942172	Now, what was in Philip's letter?"
nyp.33433074942172	Offer her a pair of turtle doves, or a basket of flowers?"
nyp.33433074942172	One letter only, Mademoiselle?
nyp.33433074942172	Or become helpless through terror if you saw he meant mischief?
nyp.33433074942172	Or shall we say ignorant?
nyp.33433074942172	Or were you ill?"
nyp.33433074942172	Philip said Miss Dean was coming, but — Julie called you something else, de — something — what was it?
nyp.33433074942172	Philip was right, n'est- ce pas?"
nyp.33433074942172	Please — why is the Blue Room furniture out here?"
nyp.33433074942172	Randal"—smiling graciously—"will take charge of me; wo n't you, Randal?"
nyp.33433074942172	Sail where?"
nyp.33433074942172	Say you met a tramp, would you run away screaming?
nyp.33433074942172	Say you met such a man, loved him, engaged yourself to him, all without knowing his secret, what then?"
nyp.33433074942172	Shall I have it taken out and set in some other way?
nyp.33433074942172	Shall I sew?'
nyp.33433074942172	Shall we say good- bye now?
nyp.33433074942172	She flung herself down among her pillows, then, lifting herself and looking cautiously around, she whispered,"Did you know the devil was dead?
nyp.33433074942172	She had always favored Philip — would she do so now?
nyp.33433074942172	She is humble, n'est- 256 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	She said she heard you had gone to California""To California?"
nyp.33433074942172	She's a lady, you'd say?
nyp.33433074942172	Should I have told Madam of his remorse?
nyp.33433074942172	Should I trust this young man?
nyp.33433074942172	So simple a baby could see through you, yet"— he looked earnestly at me for a moment—"do you know that your eyes are not unlike ice?
nyp.33433074942172	Something very naughty- bad?"
nyp.33433074942172	Speak, child, what, what, what?"
nyp.33433074942172	Spuyten?"
nyp.33433074942172	Surely you wo n't be mad enough to re- fuse?"
nyp.33433074942172	Swear, swear by your belief in God — but no, what use?
nyp.33433074942172	Take it off, Athena, in- stantly; do you hear me?
nyp.33433074942172	Tell the truth; he asks no more?"
nyp.33433074942172	That Mademoiselle Derohan may not see you've brought one of your master's?"
nyp.33433074942172	That check is for me, sir?"
nyp.33433074942172	That coat, Julie, Louis Seize, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	That soon begins again?"
nyp.33433074942172	The Saint George and Dragon act, in your honor?
nyp.33433074942172	The pitcher?
nyp.33433074942172	The question now is, shall I catch this train?"
nyp.33433074942172	The riding, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Then you recognized him?
nyp.33433074942172	Then, lifting my left hand,"Where is your betrothal ring?"
nyp.33433074942172	Then, very graciously, and as if speaking for the first time,"How do you do, good Patrick?
nyp.33433074942172	Then, very sharply,"Well, my man, what do you want?"
nyp.33433074942172	Then, with evident ef- fort,"May I be permitted to ask a question?"
nyp.33433074942172	Then, without money, what should I do?
nyp.33433074942172	There sat the Boss eatin'and drinkin'his coffee as usual when he up and says,'By the way, where's Sturgis?'
nyp.33433074942172	There, Philip did right, Athena, n'est- ce pas?"
nyp.33433074942172	They must never know how he died — do you understand?"
nyp.33433074942172	They speak together through the telephone — a remarkable instrument, nest- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	They talk of midsummer madness — what of the wild rest- lessness of spring?
nyp.33433074942172	This was more than I had bargained for, yet how draw back?
nyp.33433074942172	This — no — that?
nyp.33433074942172	Thorpe?"
nyp.33433074942172	Thou shalt not listen; if thou didst, what matter after all?
nyp.33433074942172	Thou wilt not wear my dia- monds, why then another's pearls?
nyp.33433074942172	Three hours later Frangois brought me the follow- ing note:"Will you try to win maman's forgiveness for me, a sinner, my dearest child?
nyp.33433074942172	Thy face flushes strangely — thou art not ill, ma bien- aimee?"
nyp.33433074942172	To be insulted by every stranger who chanced to turn his insolent eyes upon my much- praised face?
nyp.33433074942172	Von Schlange?
nyp.33433074942172	Was every spark of manhood dead within him?
nyp.33433074942172	Was he tak- ing the matter seriously?
nyp.33433074942172	Was he vexed because of the room?
nyp.33433074942172	Was it the dagger that frightened you, Julie?
nyp.33433074942172	Was it — fear?
nyp.33433074942172	Was she trying to conciliate Philip by approving his orders?
nyp.33433074942172	Was that Mr. Erranti's reason for com- paring me to a lily?
nyp.33433074942172	Was that the sound of footsteps?
nyp.33433074942172	Was that what you wished to say to me?"
nyp.33433074942172	Was you thinkin'of being a teacher?"
nyp.33433074942172	Watered silk, you call it?
nyp.33433074942172	Well, sir,"to Randal, who lifted her hand to his lips as he greeted her,"well, sir, what have you got to say for yourself?
nyp.33433074942172	What are you thinking of — what should Mr. Percy want of a doc- tor?
nyp.33433074942172	What can I do to please you?
nyp.33433074942172	What can I give you to bring back your appetite?"
nyp.33433074942172	What cruel turn was Fortune about to play me in the awful game of chance called Life?
nyp.33433074942172	What did I say about negroes?
nyp.33433074942172	What did Mr. Erranti mean by talk- ing such arrant nonsense to his mother's companion?
nyp.33433074942172	What did it matter, so long as I paid my debts and earned my bread?
nyp.33433074942172	What did it mean, I asked myself?
nyp.33433074942172	What do you know of negroes?
nyp.33433074942172	What do you say to moving down into the second story, Miss Dean?
nyp.33433074942172	What do you suppose them gentle- men friends of his had the cheek to say this morn- ing, when they heard of that poor creature's tragical demise?"
nyp.33433074942172	What does he say?"
nyp.33433074942172	What ever are you go in'to do with all this elegant stuff?"
nyp.33433074942172	What had she done?
nyp.33433074942172	What has hap- pened?
nyp.33433074942172	What has he to do with Czarina?"
nyp.33433074942172	What hast thou done to anger Philip?
nyp.33433074942172	What is it you wish, child?"
nyp.33433074942172	What is it you wish?"
nyp.33433074942172	What may'watch- dog'mean?"
nyp.33433074942172	What might a feeble old lady do to thwart Philip's iron will?
nyp.33433074942172	What more would you have?"
nyp.33433074942172	What motive could poor Philip have for doing so unkind — so un- manly a thing?"
nyp.33433074942172	What of it?
nyp.33433074942172	What shall I do?
nyp.33433074942172	What shall I say when he in- quires?
nyp.33433074942172	What then, I ask, be- comes of me, Frangois?"
nyp.33433074942172	What to me was the costly finery worn to gratify the whim of a kind but strange old lady?
nyp.33433074942172	What use, what use?"
nyp.33433074942172	What was I, in Mr. Erranti's eyes, but the spoiled child of an old friend, whom he wished to help?
nyp.33433074942172	What was coming?
nyp.33433074942172	What was coming?
nyp.33433074942172	What was that?
nyp.33433074942172	What was that?
nyp.33433074942172	What were you saying to him, Evie?"
nyp.33433074942172	What"—to Don, who, hair bristling, teeth bared, and growling fiercely, had planted himself before me—"don't you know me, you young goose?
nyp.33433074942172	What's he been a doin'of, Miss Derohan?
nyp.33433074942172	What's the thing for, anyhow?
nyp.33433074942172	What's the use of this paper — may I peep under?
nyp.33433074942172	What, ca n't you live without me one minute?"
nyp.33433074942172	What?"
nyp.33433074942172	Where can I find this ring, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Where else, but there?
nyp.33433074942172	Where had they been when I entered the meadow?
nyp.33433074942172	Where should I go?
nyp.33433074942172	Where's your owl, wise goddess?
nyp.33433074942172	Which fret was I pressing?
nyp.33433074942172	Which should it be?
nyp.33433074942172	Who is it thou resemblest?
nyp.33433074942172	Who is it?
nyp.33433074942172	Who was it, Athena, that was pursued by Death and the Devil?"
nyp.33433074942172	Who will have a try?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do I try to escape?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do n't you arm yourself or cry out for help?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do you fear him?"
nyp.33433074942172	Why do you look so astonished?
nyp.33433074942172	Why do you remain here when I desire you to go on?
nyp.33433074942172	Why does n't he please you, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Why does she call you'Athena'?
nyp.33433074942172	Why had I obeyed my instinct so quickly?
nyp.33433074942172	Why had Philip made parting with her a necessity?
nyp.33433074942172	Why had he spoken of Percy Stuart?
nyp.33433074942172	Why hold it behind your back?
nyp.33433074942172	Why look so surprised, my child?
nyp.33433074942172	Why may I not remember?"
nyp.33433074942172	Why might she not wear them by proxy?
nyp.33433074942172	Why need I correct this im- pression?
nyp.33433074942172	Why not have broken a cane across the in- sulter's shoulders?
nyp.33433074942172	Why say to her, if Philip must avenge himself, where were his fists?
nyp.33433074942172	Why should he wish to deceive me?
nyp.33433074942172	Why so cross with me, chere petite maman?"
nyp.33433074942172	Why that chain- bolt?
nyp.33433074942172	Why, pray?"
nyp.33433074942172	Why, when we ca n't 150 THE HOUSE ON THE HUDSON see her from here?
nyp.33433074942172	Will Mademoiselle read it?
nyp.33433074942172	Will she now deny pleasure to an old lady — une vrai dame — solitary, souffrante?
nyp.33433074942172	Will you accept her from me?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you come?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you give it up?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you give the word for me to speak?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you go now with me to see the little glen I told you of yesterday?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you help me, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you shake hands, Miss De- rohan, as token of forgiveness, and let me make a fresh start?"
nyp.33433074942172	Will you tell me who he's been slay- ing this time?
nyp.33433074942172	Will you, my Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	Wo n't he do?"
nyp.33433074942172	Wo n't you give me a try?"
nyp.33433074942172	Wo n't you look at it?"
nyp.33433074942172	Wo n't you try to?"
nyp.33433074942172	Would I dance it for her on this, her birth- night?
nyp.33433074942172	Would he be my witness downstairs, if my right to enter there were ques- tioned?
nyp.33433074942172	Would his complexion be white, or olive, were it free from tan?
nyp.33433074942172	Would nothing sting him into action?
nyp.33433074942172	Would you punish my mother for my fault, Athena?
nyp.33433074942172	Yes, how?
nyp.33433074942172	Yes?
nyp.33433074942172	Yes?
nyp.33433074942172	You and I have come out ahead, have n't we, in spite of Evil Eyed Anchorites?"
nyp.33433074942172	You believe me?
nyp.33433074942172	You bring bad news of — your cousin?"
nyp.33433074942172	You can drive?"
nyp.33433074942172	You do n't object, I hope, to the arrangement?"
nyp.33433074942172	You do n't object, my child?"
nyp.33433074942172	You had not?
nyp.33433074942172	You hate him, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	You have your wraps — a walk after breakfast?"
nyp.33433074942172	You know her, perhaps?"
nyp.33433074942172	You know that, n'est- ce pas?
nyp.33433074942172	You must know all, must defend yourself when I am gone — you are listen- ing?"
nyp.33433074942172	You noticed, perhaps, my ball gown and the jewels — her diamonds?
nyp.33433074942172	You remem- ber Percy Stuart?"
nyp.33433074942172	You surely did not disturb me for nothing?"
nyp.33433074942172	You were not his wife, why mourn him as his widow?
nyp.33433074942172	You wish only your own and Mr. Thorpe's relations to know — of it — for the present?"
nyp.33433074942172	You wo n't re- fuse to- night, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	You would n't marry a chap with darky blood in him, Miss Dean, would you?"
nyp.33433074942172	You'll be readin'Latin and Greek next — p'raps you do now?"
nyp.33433074942172	You're not afraid of her simple drops, Athena?"
nyp.33433074942172	You're sure you have some, Philip?"
nyp.33433074942172	You, a Frenchwoman, know no better?
nyp.33433074942172	Young Stuart?
nyp.33433074942172	asked the but- ler, with a teasing grin,"What do you want comin'parlezvooin''round here for?
nyp.33433074942172	do you hear them coming — or is it only the wind in the trees?
nyp.33433074942172	he cried,"what is it?
nyp.33433074942172	says the Boss;'is the house on fire?'
nyp.33433074942172	she demanded presently — speaking always in French—"you love it, yes?"
nyp.33433074942172	she faltered,"Ma- dame Derohan's brooch?
nyp.33433074942172	shouted Randal,"will you come and see Madam, or must I come and fetch you?"
nyp.33433074942172	that evil look upon thy wild, dark face?
nyp.33433074942172	this is the ring upon thy small right hand?
nyp.33433074942172	— and Cray?"
nyp.33433074942172	“ A bridal garment?
nyp.33433074942172	“ Why does he fear to have me left alone?
nyp.33433074942172	“ Why, Mademoiselle? ” “ Yes, why? ” I repeated.
nyp.33433074942172	“ Why, Mademoiselle? ” “ Yes, why? ” I repeated.
nyp.33433076079817	- Then I said, “ And Mag is her child? ”- His eyes were full of almost stupid bewilderment as he stared at me.
nyp.33433076079817	- “ Her mother?
nyp.33433076079817	- “ You said she was to lunch with you at Henri's? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433076079817	128 M A G P YE “ Where was that? ” asked Lossell.
nyp.33433076079817	128 M A G PYE “ Where was that? ” asked Lossell.
nyp.33433076079817	159 M A G PYE “ Father, do you mind, ” she said, “ if I take Mr. Quest for a moment into the garden?
nyp.33433076079817	182 M A G P Y E “ Did you ever see him after those pictures were painted? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	222 M A G PYE “ Well, is n’t she? ” “ I ’m sure you never heard Sir Max Cohen or Mr. Treffry call her that, ” I returned evasively.
nyp.33433076079817	26 M A G PYE “ Have n’t you got a hairbrush? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	54 M A G. P. YE “ What do you mean — Saturday? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	A man has a right to deny himself if he likes. ” “ What year was that in? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	And did n’t she look like a cur- rant bun?
nyp.33433076079817	And if she knew, did she care?
nyp.33433076079817	And it was you Mag saw in the motor car, and thought was her mother? ” She nodded, brave soul, she even smiled.
nyp.33433076079817	And suppose you married him, where would you be when the joy of being swallowed alive and stinging back had lost its freshness and charm?
nyp.33433076079817	And the next rule?
nyp.33433076079817	And then?
nyp.33433076079817	And what are his duties now?
nyp.33433076079817	And will you tell me, not her name, but what his wife was? ” There was a pause, during which he rose and went to the table.
nyp.33433076079817	Are you hungry? ” Was she hungry!
nyp.33433076079817	Are you hungry? ” Was she hungry!
nyp.33433076079817	At last he said: “ Why do you think there is a mystery? ” and I said I had always thought so since I gave up believing that she was dead.
nyp.33433076079817	At last she said slowly, “ I have another reason, Mr. Quest. ” “ Is it one you can tell me? ” 325 M A G. P. YE Her answer amazed me.
nyp.33433076079817	Because, after all, what would be the use of denying that an unmarried woman of forty- five merits the unpleasing description?
nyp.33433076079817	But his wife might be dead, might n’t she?
nyp.33433076079817	But how do they know that I am trustworthy?
nyp.33433076079817	Ca n't you see? ” I did see.
nyp.33433076079817	Ca n’t she come home with us? ” It is hard to say what I should have done if Miss Roop had not come to the rescue.
nyp.33433076079817	Can you come and make Madame Aimée and me some coffee? ” She rose at once, and, after looking into the bed- room, came back.
nyp.33433076079817	D'you remember? ” Then she asked me about Mag and I told her all I knew.
nyp.33433076079817	Did he ever marry? ” I disliked the look he gave me at this question.
nyp.33433076079817	Did n’t I discover the man himself?
nyp.33433076079817	Did n’t I have “ The Windmill, ” and “ Crossroads ’ in this very room for six months before the Chantry people bought them?
nyp.33433076079817	Did you ever meet Tambourel — Etienne, not Louis?
nyp.33433076079817	Did you ever see that picture about Soapine, the black child with half its face scrubbed white?
nyp.33433076079817	Did you ever see “ Aphrodite, ’ Monsieur? ” I assured him that that painting was one of my great admirations.
nyp.33433076079817	Did you see her? ” “ Yes, she looks worn out, poor child.
nyp.33433076079817	Do n’t you remember the woman in Shoreditch who hanged a little boy? ” I shuddered.
nyp.33433076079817	Do you mean that you never have a moment to yourself? ” “ It is all to myself, ” she answered, “ up to now.
nyp.33433076079817	Do you remember our picnic in Fontainebleau, Victor? ” I did.
nyp.33433076079817	Does n’t it look exactly like Pruffles? ” It did, though the likeness had never struck either Lossell or me before.
nyp.33433076079817	Hard luck for the poor fellow, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076079817	Has Lossell shown you that new find of his, that picture? ” I nodded.
nyp.33433076079817	Has she told you, by the way, about her pic- ture? ” She had n’t, and I said so.
nyp.33433076079817	He always came here occasion- ally, and do n’t you remember his taking Aunt Bertha and me to see the picture?
nyp.33433076079817	He said: “ You saw that lady, Margaret?
nyp.33433076079817	He was an old man, but — was he going to fall in love with this child, this baby, this creature who was nearly my daughter?
nyp.33433076079817	He was lying, but what will you?
nyp.33433076079817	Her ideals are bloodthirsty. ” “ How is Pye? ” I asked presently.
nyp.33433076079817	How can you be sorry for him? ” She pointed to the crucifix.
nyp.33433076079817	How is she behaving about — well, her mother? ” Madame Aimée stitched placidly on.
nyp.33433076079817	I also remember the day when we saw ‘ those others ’ march by. ” “ Who were “ those others ’? ” asked Mag.
nyp.33433076079817	I do n't blame him a bit, though, do you?
nyp.33433076079817	I do n’t know whether you know the cir- cumstances just preceding his disappearance, do you? ” He took up his palette.
nyp.33433076079817	I wonder if even my deep devotion could, after all, stand such a test?
nyp.33433076079817	I ’ll tell her I ’ve met you — may I – sir? ” “ Yes. ” I held her hand for a moment and looked at her as kindly as I could.
nyp.33433076079817	If she threw him over, why do you think she did it? ” But I had had enough of the conversation, and in his avidity I sensed the diarist.
nyp.33433076079817	If you do n't know why our friend fascinated us from the first, even though she was fat, how on earth should I know?
nyp.33433076079817	Is it likely I ’d ask him?
nyp.33433076079817	Is — Miss Lossell married? ” “ No- ” He went on hurriedly.
nyp.33433076079817	Is — Miss Lossell married? ” “ No- ” He went on hurriedly.
nyp.33433076079817	It is n’t that man? ” I could n’t bring myself to say Cohen ’s name.
nyp.33433076079817	It is the picture of the woman I love. ” “ Is it in a gold frame? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433076079817	It is the picture of the woman I love. ” “ Is it in a gold frame? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433076079817	It is tight for me already, and I am only eleven. ” “ When did she die? ” I asked gently.
nyp.33433076079817	It pleases them to think so — why protest?
nyp.33433076079817	It was at the Café Anglais, where I was dining with the Russian Ambassador and Prince Mitikoff — perhaps you have known Mitikoff?
nyp.33433076079817	It — it was dread- ful. ” “ Was he a patient of yours? ” “ Ah, yes, and it is owing to him entirely that I am doing so well now.
nyp.33433076079817	Miss Pye: All sorts of things Mr. Quest: Roast beef?
nyp.33433076079817	Miss Pye: Have you?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: And what about vegetables, now?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Are you afraid?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Can you make bread?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Grass?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Her eye?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: No doubt it may — and do you cook, too?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Shops?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Well, where do you buy your food?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: What do you cook on?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: What do you have to eat?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: What does the poor creature do?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: What happens if you do n’t?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Where are the books, my dear?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Who's the Corporal?
nyp.33433076079817	Mr. Quest: Why not?
nyp.33433076079817	Mrs. Brankles was very nice, was n’t she?
nyp.33433076079817	Oh, Victor, ca n’t you see?
nyp.33433076079817	On the way there I told her something that I think will have persuaded her she was wrong about the lady in the motor car. ” “ Did you?
nyp.33433076079817	Perhaps you thought it was Bettany himself? ” I was nettled by his tone and not unwilling to show it.
nyp.33433076079817	Praps, ” Mrs. Brankles added sentimentally, “ p'raps ‘ e’ll marry'er some day. ” “ Who'll marry whom? ” I growled.
nyp.33433076079817	See the way she ’s thrown the weight? ” “ Quite so, and the values are good as far as they go, ” Lossell answered.
nyp.33433076079817	Shall we walk on? ” As we made our way across the grass towards the avenue he continued: “ It was an amazing thing, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076079817	Shall we walk on? ” As we made our way across the grass towards the avenue he continued: “ It was an amazing thing, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076079817	She has a brain, and she has a heart. ” Have I said that the burned side of the French wom- an ’s face was always in shadow?
nyp.33433076079817	The last time I saw her she was. ” “ When was that, Monsieur? ” “ The day we lunched with Sir Max.
nyp.33433076079817	Then she asked him if he was going to have lunch with us. ” “ Well, is he? ” she put in.
nyp.33433076079817	There was an element of excitement about the journey, too, for was I not going to the east?
nyp.33433076079817	They move her strangely as well; she rally loves them. ” “ Has she drawn anything? ” asked Cohen.
nyp.33433076079817	They move her strangely as well; she rally loves them. ” “ Has she drawn anything? ” asked Cohen.
nyp.33433076079817	Was it possible that this poor, jumpy, shabby man could once, no matter how long ago, have painted “ Crossroads ” and “ The Windmill ”?
nyp.33433076079817	Was n’t it awful, Mr. Quest? ” Mr. Quest: Horrible!
nyp.33433076079817	Well, do you remember his face? ” He nodded.
nyp.33433076079817	Were you, indeed?
nyp.33433076079817	What am I to do? ” “ Has she any ground for thinking that her mother was a lady? ” he returned.
nyp.33433076079817	What am I to do? ” “ Has she any ground for thinking that her mother was a lady? ” he returned.
nyp.33433076079817	What makes the floor like that? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	What on earth could my poor little Magpie, of Pimlico, make of this delicate and recondite collection of pic- tures?
nyp.33433076079817	What shall I do? ” “ Could n’t you live somewhere else? ” I suggested, feeling a perfect brute as I did so.
nyp.33433076079817	What shall I do? ” “ Could n’t you live somewhere else? ” I suggested, feeling a perfect brute as I did so.
nyp.33433076079817	What shall I do? ” “ Could n’t you live somewhere else? ” I suggested, feeling a perfect brute as I did so.
nyp.33433076079817	What shall I do? ” “ Could n’t you live somewhere else? ” I suggested, feeling a perfect brute as I did so.
nyp.33433076079817	When shall we come up? ” She laid her hand on my shoulder.
nyp.33433076079817	Who would have known what to say?
nyp.33433076079817	Who would have known what to say?
nyp.33433076079817	Who ’s that? ” She looked vexed.
nyp.33433076079817	Why did he do that? ” Pye looked at me inimically.
nyp.33433076079817	Why do you suppose it ’s like that, Mr. Quest?
nyp.33433076079817	Why do you suppose it ’s like that, Mr. Quest?
nyp.33433076079817	Why on earth did Pye take the child? ” “ It is probable, ” she answered, smiling, “ that the child took him.
nyp.33433076079817	Why should a mender in a Pimlico “ Model Dwellings ” have lots and lots of books?
nyp.33433076079817	Will you therefore write to me wherein you think lies — and say even seven years ago — that charm and attractiveness?
nyp.33433076079817	Would you mind if she ever mentioned me to you, just to — to just — to back me up? ” “ I will certainly back you up, ” I said.
nyp.33433076079817	You can only shake them between 7 and 10 A.M. Mr. Quest, what does A.M. mean?
nyp.33433076079817	You do n’t say so| She wo n’t marry him, will she, Quest?
nyp.33433076079817	You know Constant ’s, Monsieur?
nyp.33433076079817	You remember Pansy, Mr. Quest, do n’t you? ” I did, and politely asked for news of that lady.
nyp.33433076079817	You remember Pansy, Mr. Quest, do n’t you? ” I did, and politely asked for news of that lady.
nyp.33433076079817	You remember it? ” he asked me sharply.
nyp.33433076079817	You see, he never speaks Mr. Quest: Why does n’t he speak?
nyp.33433076079817	You think it was her doing? ” he said.
nyp.33433076079817	You were saying — Ah, yes, did I know about the circumstances?
nyp.33433076079817	You wo n’t forget, will you?
nyp.33433076079817	You wo n’t waste time? ” She crossed the room to the door leading to her bedroom and turned.
nyp.33433076079817	You ’ll begin at once, wo n’t you?
nyp.33433076079817	does it matter what I thought about him?
nyp.33433076079817	n her? ” I said, sitting down.
nyp.33433076079817	“ And how are Bob and Eleanor? ” she asked gent- ly in her odd, husky voice.
nyp.33433076079817	“ And what is it he does? ” I went on.
nyp.33433076079817	“ And why should n’t I wear my hair like Lady Mil- dred? ” she returned.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Anybody else going to Scotland? ” I asked rather crossly, for the Land of Cakes seemed to loom too largely for my comfort for the moment.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Are n’t they splendid? ” she said, nodding towards it and the only slightly less wonderful “ Windmill. ” I nodded.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Are n’t they splendid? ” she said, nodding towards it and the only slightly less wonderful “ Windmill. ” I nodded.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Are you going to paint? ” Lossell had asked her.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Are you sure? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ But surely it is beautiful, Berthold?
nyp.33433076079817	“ By the way, Quest, does the child know about her father? ” I threw my cigarette into the fire and looked at the clock.
nyp.33433076079817	“ By the way, Quest, does the child know about her father? ” I threw my cigarette into the fire and looked at the clock.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Can you tell me just why Mag interested you so much? ” I asked the girl.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Could I speak to you for a minute? ” Of course I said that she could, and stood waiting for her to begin.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did Miss Lossell ask you to find that out? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did he ever tell you anything about whatever it was that drove him out of England? ” I urged, watching him sharply.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did my father marry her when he was very young? ” “ He must have been about thirty, I should think.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did n’t I tell you he was Mr. Glenny ’s nephew? ” “ Great- nephew, ” supplemented the youth.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did you ever meet Lord Lossell? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did you have a decent journey? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did you know him in those very earliest days? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did you like the picture? ” I asked the second sister, gently.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Did you never think of marrying Cohen? ” I asked her.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do n’t you know whose it is? ” I did n’t.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do n’t you know, Vic- tor? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do n’t you know, Vic- tor? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do n’t you like Pruffles any more? ” I asked once, when he was out of the room.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do n’t you recognize it? ” he said.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you know what they are? ” the old man called out.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you like him? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you like him? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you remember the day we stood on the balcony, Monsieur, and saw the Empress drive by in her open carriage? ” Treffry nodded.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you remember the man I was speaking about not long ago to you? ” she said quietly, pressing my arm in a way that hurt.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you suppose they are engaged? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you think so?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Do you think, ” she asked, “ she ’s still imagining her mother to be a great lady? ” I hesitated.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Does he paint much, nowadays? ” I asked with in- terest.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Does that mean you could never marry only me, or that you could never marry anyone? ” I asked rough- ly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Edith, what is it?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Going to do what? ” and I saw that she was sincere, that she did not understand what I meant.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Have I changed so much? ” she asked bitterly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Have n’t you noticed it? ” he went on.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Have you ever seen the lady in the motor since that day? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Have you ever seen this friend? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Have you heard from him since those days? ” I in- sisted gently, trying to make my voice as inoffensive as possible.
nyp.33433076079817	“ He came in once to lunch, Monsieur, and I waited on him myself — I who tell you. ” “ How did he look? ” put in Edith.
nyp.33433076079817	“ He drinks or something, did n’t you say, Quest? ” “ Morphine, ” I answered.
nyp.33433076079817	“ He drinks or something, did n’t you say, Quest? ” “ Morphine, ” I answered.
nyp.33433076079817	“ He has only, ” she announced with pride, “ had two relapses since August. ” “ Where does he get the stuff? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ He ’s not dead, then? ” I asked, knowing for the first time what novelists mean when they say that a man ’s own voice sounds strange to him.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How about the drawing lessons? ” I asked her at lunch.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How d'you think I look? ” she asked suddenly, smil- ing up at me in a way that was obviously meant to be bright.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How did you know? ” And then, turning, he crossed towards the open door.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How did you know? ” And then, turning, he crossed towards the open door.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How do you know all this about pictures? ” he asked her at length.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How do you know it is? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How on earth did you know that? ” he burst out.
nyp.33433076079817	“ How was he getting on then? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Hurt yourself? ” I asked with some concern.
nyp.33433076079817	“ I call him, ” she said, as she devoured watercress generously sprinkled with salt, “ Yangus — young An- gus, you see?
nyp.33433076079817	“ I did n’t know you were here, Mr. Quest. ” “ Why should you? ” Madame Aimée asked her.
nyp.33433076079817	“ I suppose they told you what a jolly day we had 309 M A G P YE yesterday? ” he went on.
nyp.33433076079817	“ I was wondering, ” I suggested, “ if it could be Bettany by any chance. ” “ Why on earth should it be Bettany?
nyp.33433076079817	“ I went yesterday, ” I added, “ to see some old friends of his in Ealing — their name is Colwyn. ” “ Colwyn?
nyp.33433076079817	“ I wonder why you ever thought she was so gifted? ” he asked me finally as I rose.
nyp.33433076079817	“ I wonder, ” I began, struck by a new idea, “ whether her lessons began too late, Mr. Pye?
nyp.33433076079817	“ I ’ve finished the book. ” “ Like it? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433076079817	“ I ’ve not seen Bill Bettany, ” he murmured reflectively, for — Oh, many years! ” “ Do you remember when he disappeared? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ If I can make fifteen pounds every four days, that ’ll make how much a year, Mr. Quest? ” “ Oh, shut up, ” I said laughing.
nyp.33433076079817	“ If you see the lady you saw that day with your father, ” I suggested with guile, “ will you show her to me? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076079817	“ If you think that, how can you torment him with questions? ” She looked straight at me.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is Treffry coming? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is he coming to- night? ” “ Good heavens, no!
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is he coming to- night? ” “ Good heavens, no!
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is n’t it?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is n’t it? ” she breathed.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is there, ” she asked when she had sat down, “ is there lobster mayonnaise? ” “ There is, and the turkey stuffed with chestnuts.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Is there, ” she asked when she had sat down, “ is there lobster mayonnaise? ” “ There is, and the turkey stuffed with chestnuts.

nyp.33433076079817	“ No, I knew then, and I know a thousand times more surely now. ” “ But why do you think so?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Of course, I know about the engagement, and I wondered — How are they both? ” he wound up with a jerk.

nyp.33433076079817	“ Oh, Mr. Quest, of course I am — did you think I was n’t? ” I was a little confused.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Oh, did it?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Oh, did n’t I tell you?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Oh, is that all? ” I exclaimed.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Oh, what have you done to her, Mr. Quest? ” the child exclaimed reproachfully, flying to a shelf and tak- ing down a bottle.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Pye p?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Rather braw? ” I suggested.
nyp.33433076079817	“ She always has flowers, ” I was informed, “ even in the winter. ” Mr. Quest: Does she go out to buy flowers?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Surely you know most of them here? ” He looked round.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Surely, surely, you would n’t marry him? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ The father said distinctly that the lady in the car was Margaret's mother? ” he asked at one point.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then it was she who wanted to know? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then it was she who wanted to know? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then it's pretty harmless, is n’t it? ” “ My dear friend, that's what I ’ve been telling you.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then you did know him? ” he blurted out, suddenly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then you did know him? ” he blurted out, suddenly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then you must be Mr. Quest? ” “ I am.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then you never met them? ” “ No, ” he said slowly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Then you never met them? ” “ No, ” he said slowly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ To Mr. Glenny. ” “ Why? ” “ To tell him that I ca n’t come. ” “ Tomorrow, you mean? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076079817	“ To Mr. Glenny. ” “ Why? ” “ To tell him that I ca n’t come. ” “ Tomorrow, you mean? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076079817	“ To whom are you going to send a telegram? ” She looked at me gravely.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Victor, why on earth did you ask me that? ” she said with a kind of stammer.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Victor, why on earth did you ask me that? ” she said with a kind of stammer.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Were you in England then? ” “ I saw him in Paris just afterwards. ” “ Would you mind telling me about it?

nyp.33433076079817	“ What I mean is, could you ever marry anyone else? ” She smiled, and the lines round her eyes were very visible.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What a disgusting child Mag is??
nyp.33433076079817	“ What a disgusting child Mag is??
nyp.33433076079817	“ What an enormous youth! ” “ Is n’t he?
nyp.33433076079817	“ What are you wearing? ” I called through the door.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What did the man look like, Mag? ” he asked in the pleasant voice that had grown as diaphanous and thin as himself.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What do they think of it in the Blantyre Buildings? ” “ Quest, Quest, ” protested dear old Treffry gently.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What do you mean? ” I snapped, dropping my fork and glaring at her.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What does he ride? ” “ I do n’t know, I ’m sure.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What is her room like? ” I asked after a pause.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What is it? ” Edith looked at me helplessly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What is your name? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What on earth ’s the matter?
nyp.33433076079817	“ What was the use, ” she retorted, “ if she was dead?
nyp.33433076079817	“ What ’s that thing on your head? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What ’s that? ” asked Lossell sharply.
nyp.33433076079817	“ What's it got to do with me?
nyp.33433076079817	“ What's that horrid looking thing in the fore- ground? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Where are you going all alone at this time o ’ night? ” she went on.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Where have you told her your mother lives? ” “ In Camden Town.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Who is he? ” “ A very nice Scottish youth, a nephew of old Glenny, ” I explained.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Who — who was it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Who ’s going to take care of father? ” I looked at Madame Aimée and she looked at me.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Who ’s the lady in the gold frame? ” “ How should I know who she is?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Who ’s the lady in the gold frame? ” “ How should I know who she is?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Who- who was it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Whose is it? ” I asked in an undertone.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why are you going to do it if it makes you feel like this? ” She stared at me.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why could you marry him? ” She looked bravely at me and told the plain truth — sometimes such an immensely difficult thing to do.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why did n’t you marry him? ” she asked coldly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why did n’t you tell me? ” Mag used to ask her.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why did she marry a man thirty years older than herself? ” Edith looked at me oddly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why did she marry a man thirty years older than herself? ” Edith looked at me oddly.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why did you ask him if he knew Bettany? ” he returned in an angry voice.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why do n’t you have a talk with her father? ” I suggested at last.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why do you think that? ” I retorted.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why do you think, ” I asked her, “ that the lady in the carriage was your mother?
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why not? ” In her young voice was a coolness that found my sympathy for her father.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Why not? ” “ Well, I'm afraid I just forgot.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Will you bring the young leady to tea, sir, ” he said, “ as there ’ll be people here for lunch? ” “ All right, Pruffles, ” I said.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Will you come in? ” she said, and I followed her.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Wo n’t you sit down? ” He did.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Would you mind letting her know I am here? ” “ I am sorry, ” I said.
nyp.33433076079817	“ Yes, that must have been in March, was n’t it? ” I laughed.
nyp.33433076079817	“ You are Mr. Quest? ” she said, and there was in her voice something of timidity.
nyp.33433076079817	“ You barely know him, do you? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076079817	“ You see, do n’t you — you do see? ” she urged, peering up at me, the red plush bag ground together in her gloved hands.
nyp.33433076079817	“ You see, do n’t you — you do see? ” she urged, peering up at me, the red plush bag ground together in her gloved hands.
nyp.33433076079817	“ You think so?
nyp.33433076079817	“ You — you are interested about your mother? ” I asked her, remembering that I had disliked her former tone about her unknown parent.
nyp.33433076079817	“ You ’ve not, ” Mag ’s father burst out suddenly, “ anything to drink here, Forbes?
nyp.33433076079817	“ You ’ve seen her? ” I said, sitting down.

nyp.33433112047356	Had he known some family who owned it?
nyp.33433112047356	Had he not acted almost as if he hated her sometimes on board the Naiad, rather than let her guess that he cared?
nyp.33433112047356	Had you got on the track of the mystery?
nyp.33433112047356	Had you thought of that? ” “ It ’s possible, sir; one feels here as if anything were possible, ” murmured Peter.

nyp.33433112047356	Here, in my house, is it not?
nyp.33433112047356	His first question was: “ Is there any news of Betty?"
nyp.33433112047356	How and by whom had the woman been murdered?
nyp.33433112047356	How bad she induced Betty to send her here to him?
nyp.33433112047356	How could he — how could he let such a horrible thing happen to a poor child like her?
nyp.33433112047356	How did she come here?
nyp.33433112047356	How have you and yours lived up to it?
nyp.33433112047356	How must the man have felt who planned WAS HE ON THE TRACK?

nyp.33433112047356	So far, so good; yet what was there to prove that there had been murders and a murderer?
nyp.33433112047356	Speak out, ca n’t you?
nyp.33433112047356	Suddenly, however, he remembered BY WHOSE HAND?

nyp.33433112047356	Would she ever see any of the people she loved, and who cared for her?
nyp.33433112047356	You are n’t planning to write love- letters be- hind my back?
nyp.33433112047356	You did n’t guess that you were talking to a relative?
nyp.33433112047356	You give up the work you are doing?
nyp.33433112047356	You must know — — —- ” “ Know what?
nyp.33433112047356	You will not neglect to keep me informed of every'thing?
nyp.33433112047356	You would n’t have thought of it, if it had n’t been for him. ” “ Would n’t I?
nyp.33433112047356	You ’ll tell me nothing now? ” “ I ca n’t, for the best of reasons.
nyp.33433112047356	and how had he himself escaped?
nyp.33433112047356	and what con- nection had the packing case in the storeroom, and the broken cage on the deck, with the extraordi- nary crime?
nyp.33433112047356	and who can have killed her?
nyp.33433112047356	how had they disposed of their victims?
nyp.33433112047356	how had they finally escaped in the end, since none of the yacht ’s boats were missing?
nyp.33433112047356	r65 “ We are then, to stay here? ” “ For the present.
nyp.33433112047356	such a story as that which had trapped her?
nyp.33433112047356	why had he destroyed all papers and everything on board which could lead to the identi- fication of the yacht?
nyp.33433112047356	why had they left so many valuables un- touched?
nyp.33433112047356	— and she knew it. ” “ So you have given your word to stop playing the detective?"
nyp.33433112047356	‘ Brown, is that you? ’ I asks.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Ah, but since Monsieur can not do that, and since he can not keep me here without sacrificing an inno cent young girl who loves and trusts him?
nyp.33433112047356	“ And if I do?
nyp.33433112047356	“ And what? ” he demanded, when the young man ’s pause began to seem unaccountably long.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Any one we know in the boat?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Are you going back to Tangier? ” he said eagerly, speaking in French, as the woman had.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Because there ’s more on her than us three, sir. ” “ What do you mean?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Betty Desmond is the woman who was on board this yacht?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Betty, are you ready?
nyp.33433112047356	“ But afterward; you leave the Xenia?
nyp.33433112047356	“ But what do you make of that, sir?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Can it be that she has been sleeping all this time?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Can it be that she has gone to you?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Can you see that in the topaz? ” “ X- e- n- i- a, ” the woman spelled out letter by let- ter in French.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Did I understand you to say you could take back an answer? ” “ Yes, monsieur, I can take an answer, ” returned the fortune teller.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Did you see or hear nothing in the night, sir? ” Brown asked, hesitatingly.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Exactly what did you see after that scream?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Has she a smattering of French?
nyp.33433112047356	“ How will she behave to Umberleigh, though?
nyp.33433112047356	“ How, sir?
nyp.33433112047356	“ I unkind to you?
nyp.33433112047356	“ If you are willing to do me a favour, then, ” she said, “ tell me why I was brought to this house, and whose it is?
nyp.33433112047356	“ If you ’d been born with a kind of genius that could be useful to me. ” “ How do you know I have n’t, sir?
nyp.33433112047356	“ It begins to look rather fishy for the captain; do n’t you think so?
nyp.33433112047356	“ It ’s the queerest sight ever I saw in good weather, and I ’ve seen some queer sights at sea. ” “ Ca n’t we hail her? ” asked Manners.
nyp.33433112047356	“ May it be shut?
nyp.33433112047356	“ My first officer is in charge. ” “ Anything out of the common?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Now, how shall I ever knew that this has been delivered and that you have told my friend all the things you have promised?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Oh, go on; what of him?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Oh, then you have proved the professionals fail- ures?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Shall we look at her things? ” Betty asked, rather shyly, fearing that, as hostess, she had not given enough attention to welcoming her guests.
nyp.33433112047356	“ She died? ” he stammered.
nyp.33433112047356	“ She would n’t be going to Gib. ” “ Are the people in that boat going there?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Something which concerns Betty?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Sure, sir. ” “ No one could have sneaked on board, I suppose, without your knowledge?
nyp.33433112047356	“ That ’s a topaz, is n’t it? ” he inquired indifier- ently.
nyp.33433112047356	“ This is the way you abuse my trust, is it, Knight — to WHAT THE MOON SAW 7 make love to my daughter when my back ’s turned, eh?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Was it the man who kept her picture in his watch through all these years?
nyp.33433112047356	“ We ’ve been where we are now for the last half hour or more. ” “ You are sure of that? ” inquired Peter.
nyp.33433112047356	“ What are you staring at that big box for? ” he demanded, impatiently.
nyp.33433112047356	“ What can it mean? ” Manners asked.
nyp.33433112047356	“ What do you mean by ‘ the mere chance ’?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What does Monsieur mean to do with me? ” she quietly said.
nyp.33433112047356	“ What does it matter for an old woman like Madame?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What else could I do?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What has brought you to this house?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What is it that you do?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What is it, Betty?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What is the motive, then?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What jargon does she talk? ” he inquired of Lady Haldon.
nyp.33433112047356	“ What kind of harm do you see ready tO pounce upon me, if I disregard your warning and stay wher I am?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What the dickens is she at?
nyp.33433112047356	“ What was the name of the other yacht? ” the girl asked.
nyp.33433112047356	“ Which one of you was down below lately?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Who knows?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Why should the man have a fine desk like this in his cabin, and not use it?
nyp.33433112047356	“ Why too strange to be true?
nyp.33433112047356	“ You there, Knight? ” asked the millionaire.
nyp.33433112047356	“ You wo n’t promise?
nyp.33433112047356	“\Vhy — why, what is it, sir? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433112047356	” he asked, sharply_ “ Is there anything too strange to be true in this queer world?
nyp.33433112047356	” “ Is n’t one hundred thousand dollars worth hav- ing?
nyp.33433112047356	” “ Would you care to come up on the bridge, sir, and look at a little craft that seems to be behaving rather queerly?
nyp.33433076022346	'Well, Vic,'he cried,'so this is th'gal, is it? nyp.33433076022346 'You came to see Grace?'
nyp.33433076022346	, Who is that gentleman?
nyp.33433076022346	, Why do n't you want me to read it?
nyp.33433076022346	A beautiful morning, is n't it? nyp.33433076022346 A long one?"
nyp.33433076022346	A murder?
nyp.33433076022346	A nut? nyp.33433076022346 A nut?"
nyp.33433076022346	A woman is it?
nyp.33433076022346	Ah!—he has incurred such losses, t'en?
nyp.33433076022346	Ah, you think so?
nyp.33433076022346	Ah,said the coroner blandly,"t'en t'ey were all in t'e house, I suppose?"
nyp.33433076022346	All alone?
nyp.33433076022346	And before that?
nyp.33433076022346	And dressed how?
nyp.33433076022346	And iss t'is your rain- coat?
nyp.33433076022346	And she did n't object?
nyp.33433076022346	And that Miss Croydon knew nothing about it?
nyp.33433076022346	And that we stayed in our rooms during all that row?
nyp.33433076022346	And the button was on it?
nyp.33433076022346	And the deceased was endeavouring to inflict some injury upon his adversary?
nyp.33433076022346	And the diamond?
nyp.33433076022346	And the trunk was locked?
nyp.33433076022346	And then what happened?
nyp.33433076022346	And there is n't any other?
nyp.33433076022346	And there was no one in the hall?
nyp.33433076022346	And told him the whole story?
nyp.33433076022346	And what did she want?
nyp.33433076022346	And what do you think of him?
nyp.33433076022346	And what is his business?
nyp.33433076022346	And where's the necklace?
nyp.33433076022346	And why not?
nyp.33433076022346	And will be mine always?
nyp.33433076022346	And yet in the end she did need him, did n't she? nyp.33433076022346 And you believe that you have succeeded?"
nyp.33433076022346	And you still long for it?
nyp.33433076022346	And you will keep an eye on Cecily?
nyp.33433076022346	And you've nothing more to tell us?
nyp.33433076022346	And you?
nyp.33433076022346	Anything doing?
nyp.33433076022346	Anything in the pockets?
nyp.33433076022346	Are all the apartments occupied?
nyp.33433076022346	Are n't you?
nyp.33433076022346	Are you sure of that?
nyp.33433076022346	Are you sure of the man?
nyp.33433076022346	Are you sure?
nyp.33433076022346	At Fond- Corre? nyp.33433076022346 At the Marathon?"
nyp.33433076022346	But Tremaine — is he not also a Protestant?
nyp.33433076022346	But did Tremaine have a sample of Miss Croy- don's writing?
nyp.33433076022346	But how did the office come to take the case? nyp.33433076022346 But if it was self- defence?"
nyp.33433076022346	But is it worth while trying to dig it up? nyp.33433076022346 But there was a struggle?"
nyp.33433076022346	But who is he? nyp.33433076022346 But who is it we're going after?"
nyp.33433076022346	But why did n't Graham defend himself? nyp.33433076022346 But why?"
nyp.33433076022346	But you could identify him, if the police succeed in capturing him?
nyp.33433076022346	But,I asked, more and more astonished,"how did he accomplish it?"
nyp.33433076022346	Ca n't we let Miss Croydon go home? nyp.33433076022346 Can you doubt it?"
nyp.33433076022346	Can you spare me a moment?
nyp.33433076022346	Charm him?
nyp.33433076022346	Come in — why, what the deuce is all this about, Dickie?
nyp.33433076022346	Come,said Godfrey, smiling in sympathy with my excitement,"what's the great discovery?
nyp.33433076022346	Convict him of what?
nyp.33433076022346	D'y'know who I think it was? nyp.33433076022346 Dead?
nyp.33433076022346	Did any explanation occur to you?
nyp.33433076022346	Did he appear as usual?
nyp.33433076022346	Did he ever awaken a wish like that in you?
nyp.33433076022346	Did he have anything in his pockets besides that key?
nyp.33433076022346	Did he have the papers? nyp.33433076022346 Did he have those spells often, Cecily?"
nyp.33433076022346	Did he take the necklace with him to the house?
nyp.33433076022346	Did she do that?
nyp.33433076022346	Did y'hear him?
nyp.33433076022346	Did you catch what she said?' nyp.33433076022346 Did you ever see this man before?"
nyp.33433076022346	Did you find the doors all locked?
nyp.33433076022346	Did you give these points to Goldberg?
nyp.33433076022346	Did you have your revolver last night?
nyp.33433076022346	Did you know him?
nyp.33433076022346	Did you see him when he came in?
nyp.33433076022346	Did your shot hit him?
nyp.33433076022346	Do n't you see?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know what this is for?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know when the inquest will be?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know where he came from?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know whether or not Mr. Tremaine is in his rooms?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know who she is?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you object to Mr. Godfrey's presence?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you persist in t'at decision?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you remember what outer garment he wore?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you think I'd impose on you like that?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you think the captain would know anything more?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you?
nyp.33433076022346	Doctor Wise,he asked, after a moment,"from which direc- tion should you say t'ese blows were struck?"
nyp.33433076022346	Does it mean another scoop?
nyp.33433076022346	Drysdale? nyp.33433076022346 Elevator, sir?"
nyp.33433076022346	Fishing?
nyp.33433076022346	Fond- Corre?
nyp.33433076022346	For God's sake,gasped Simmonds, mopping the sweat from his face,"what is it?"
nyp.33433076022346	For evil, you mean? nyp.33433076022346 Found what?"
nyp.33433076022346	Good God, man; what is it?
nyp.33433076022346	Has anyone else been in the rooms?
nyp.33433076022346	Have we?
nyp.33433076022346	Have you a t'eory, Mr. Tremaine?
nyp.33433076022346	Have you found another apartment yet, Mr. Les- ter?
nyp.33433076022346	Have you gone through Thompson's belongings?
nyp.33433076022346	Have you really?
nyp.33433076022346	Have you?
nyp.33433076022346	Have you?
nyp.33433076022346	He might have gone into one of the other rooms, might n't he?
nyp.33433076022346	He never talked about his past?
nyp.33433076022346	Hello, what's this?
nyp.33433076022346	Hello,he said;"what's up now?
nyp.33433076022346	Higgins,he said,"this is the fellow who brought Thompson home, ai n't it?"
nyp.33433076022346	His black spells?
nyp.33433076022346	His past? nyp.33433076022346 His railroad?"
nyp.33433076022346	How are you, Jimmy?
nyp.33433076022346	How can it be accounted for?
nyp.33433076022346	How do you know t'at?
nyp.33433076022346	How in the world did you do it?
nyp.33433076022346	How long has it been since you saw it?
nyp.33433076022346	How long have they been here?
nyp.33433076022346	How long have you been connected with the prison, Mr. Jones?
nyp.33433076022346	How many persons were aware of your inten- tion to put it in t'e water out here?
nyp.33433076022346	How soon must I come fer you?
nyp.33433076022346	I feel a little upset, myself — won't you try a smoke?
nyp.33433076022346	I presume,he began slowly,"t'at t'is man was n't killed here in his bed?"
nyp.33433076022346	I sup- pose this fellow went away?
nyp.33433076022346	I suppose Mr. Drysdale's financial condi- tion iss good?
nyp.33433076022346	I suppose there was a row?
nyp.33433076022346	I suppose we'd better have Jack down to look after Grace?
nyp.33433076022346	I understand that you have n't con- descended as yet to prove an alibi?
nyp.33433076022346	I wonder where the devil Drysdale went? nyp.33433076022346 Identified?"
nyp.33433076022346	In the first place, then, Miss Croydon,he went on, in a different tone,"how did your father succeed in getting your sister away from Tremaine?"
nyp.33433076022346	In the morning?
nyp.33433076022346	In the same vein?
nyp.33433076022346	Is it in your handwriting?
nyp.33433076022346	Is it true that Miss Croydon seemed to be- lieve Drysdale guilty?
nyp.33433076022346	Is there any other man you know who can say as much?
nyp.33433076022346	Is this yours, miss?
nyp.33433076022346	Iss Mr. Drysdale still in his room?
nyp.33433076022346	Iss he in t'e habit of walking after night?
nyp.33433076022346	Iss t'is your revolver?
nyp.33433076022346	It explains Miss Croydon's presence here?
nyp.33433076022346	Johnson?
nyp.33433076022346	Let you out of where?
nyp.33433076022346	Lightnin'do n't cave a man's head in, does it?
nyp.33433076022346	Lock me up, will you?
nyp.33433076022346	Magraw got a share of that last deal, did n't he?
nyp.33433076022346	May I see your passenger list for your last trip north?
nyp.33433076022346	May I trouble you to take off t'e coat, Mr. Del- roy?
nyp.33433076022346	May I use your telephone a moment?
nyp.33433076022346	Mebbe she's already been so obligin'as to give you my name?
nyp.33433076022346	Miss Croydon?
nyp.33433076022346	Mr. Royce,I said to our junior, in the course of the morning,''I wonder if I could be spared this afternoon?
nyp.33433076022346	Mr. Tremaine was wit'you at t'e time Mr. Gra- ham burst in and announced t'e murder?
nyp.33433076022346	My case? nyp.33433076022346 No chance of it getting away?"
nyp.33433076022346	No ghosts over there, I hope?
nyp.33433076022346	No objection to that, I guess?
nyp.33433076022346	No? nyp.33433076022346 Nobody there, eh?"
nyp.33433076022346	Nobody there?
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, coument ou ye, doudoux?
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, he was that1 sort, was he?
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, it's you, is it, Dickie? nyp.33433076022346 Oh, no, no,"interrupted Higgins;"but th'p'lice was goin'through th'buildin'""The police?"
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, why did you kill him?
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, wo n't I? nyp.33433076022346 Oh; so they have n't found it, then?"
nyp.33433076022346	Only you are flesh and blood, you would say?
nyp.33433076022346	Out of jail?
nyp.33433076022346	Perhaps you have, as yet, not heard of t'e murder committed here last night and of t'e robbery which accompanied it?
nyp.33433076022346	Permit it?
nyp.33433076022346	Really?
nyp.33433076022346	Removed? nyp.33433076022346 See here, Jack,"he demanded,"what is it you're driving at?"
nyp.33433076022346	Shall I have Drysdale called down?
nyp.33433076022346	Shall we try this one?
nyp.33433076022346	She'll have to appear before the coroner?
nyp.33433076022346	So Mr. Higgins had a tale to tell, too, did he?
nyp.33433076022346	So you have been successful?
nyp.33433076022346	So you recognize him, do you?
nyp.33433076022346	So you're also an eavesdropper, a listener at doors? nyp.33433076022346 So,"he said, sitting down again;"so you're in the secret, then?"
nyp.33433076022346	T'en you refuse to answer?
nyp.33433076022346	Tell you?
nyp.33433076022346	That you, sergeant?
nyp.33433076022346	That's good; are you ready?
nyp.33433076022346	That,answered Drysdale, still more quietly,"is one question which I must absolutely refuse to an- CHAPTER VI Innocent or< Suflt£?
nyp.33433076022346	The best?
nyp.33433076022346	The fact is, I ca n't prove an alibi,Counsel for the Defence 259"You ca n't?"
nyp.33433076022346	The house has been searched?
nyp.33433076022346	The question is,added Godfrey, looking about him,"where did she hide them?"
nyp.33433076022346	The real culprit?
nyp.33433076022346	Then he did n't live at Fond- Corre?
nyp.33433076022346	Then how did the revolver get in it?
nyp.33433076022346	Then it was n't he you came here to meet?
nyp.33433076022346	Then the murder was n't the end?
nyp.33433076022346	Then who did?
nyp.33433076022346	Then who did?
nyp.33433076022346	Then why did he not become one?
nyp.33433076022346	Then why is n't he here?
nyp.33433076022346	Then you believe he's implicated in this Edgemere affair?
nyp.33433076022346	Then you have met her? nyp.33433076022346 Then your sister knew you were coming?"
nyp.33433076022346	There's no way,said Godfrey,"unless Miss Croydon herself should commit the inconceivable folly — hello, who's that?"
nyp.33433076022346	Think so?
nyp.33433076022346	To whom?
nyp.33433076022346	Toutt douce, die — et ou?
nyp.33433076022346	Tremaine? nyp.33433076022346 Tremaine?"
nyp.33433076022346	Was he also on the scene? nyp.33433076022346 Was he in the habit of getting drunk?"
nyp.33433076022346	Was it locked last night?
nyp.33433076022346	Was t'e necklace a valuable one?
nyp.33433076022346	Was there only one shot?
nyp.33433076022346	Well, have y'got it all fixed, sir?
nyp.33433076022346	Well, what's happened at the Marathon?
nyp.33433076022346	Well, who is she?
nyp.33433076022346	Well,asked Delroy, in some amusement,"where did you run across that bit of information?"
nyp.33433076022346	Well,inquired Simmonds,"what've you got to say?"
nyp.33433076022346	Well?
nyp.33433076022346	Well?
nyp.33433076022346	Well?
nyp.33433076022346	Well?
nyp.33433076022346	Were n't you sure?
nyp.33433076022346	What did he do with the bar of iron?
nyp.33433076022346	What do you fellows want, anyway?
nyp.33433076022346	What do you make of it?
nyp.33433076022346	What do you think about it?
nyp.33433076022346	What do you think of it?
nyp.33433076022346	What do you want to do that for?
nyp.33433076022346	What does it matter? nyp.33433076022346 What happened after you reached the room?"
nyp.33433076022346	What has happened?
nyp.33433076022346	What is it, Delroy?
nyp.33433076022346	What is it, Richard?
nyp.33433076022346	What is it, then? nyp.33433076022346 What is it?"
nyp.33433076022346	What is it?
nyp.33433076022346	What is that?
nyp.33433076022346	What is that?
nyp.33433076022346	What is the light for, Cecily?
nyp.33433076022346	What key?
nyp.33433076022346	What made them turn dull?
nyp.33433076022346	What next? nyp.33433076022346 What sort of a looking fellow was he?"
nyp.33433076022346	What time do you leave in the morning?
nyp.33433076022346	What time was it?
nyp.33433076022346	What was it?
nyp.33433076022346	What were your points?
nyp.33433076022346	What will she say to that?
nyp.33433076022346	What's it all about?
nyp.33433076022346	What's th'use? nyp.33433076022346 What's that?"
nyp.33433076022346	What's the matter, Jack?
nyp.33433076022346	What's this?
nyp.33433076022346	When are you coming out?
nyp.33433076022346	When did you get back from Washington?
nyp.33433076022346	When does she leave?
nyp.33433076022346	Where are t'e rain- coats kept?
nyp.33433076022346	Where did you get it?
nyp.33433076022346	Where did you meet him, Cecily?
nyp.33433076022346	Where did you see her?
nyp.33433076022346	Where is he?
nyp.33433076022346	Where was I? nyp.33433076022346 Where was it?"
nyp.33433076022346	Where were you last night, Jack?
nyp.33433076022346	Which was?
nyp.33433076022346	Who but Tremaine?
nyp.33433076022346	Who is he?
nyp.33433076022346	Who told you that?
nyp.33433076022346	Who was he, Cecily?
nyp.33433076022346	Who's there?
nyp.33433076022346	Why not have a lot of water brought up to the house and immerse them here?
nyp.33433076022346	Why, certainly — but is n't it rather sudden?
nyp.33433076022346	Why, do n't you see, Jack? nyp.33433076022346 Why, look here,"cried Jimmy, seemingly deeply exasperated,"what'd I want t'put him out for?
nyp.33433076022346	Why, what's all this, Jack?
nyp.33433076022346	Why,I questioned, in affected surprise,"do n't you think he will?"
nyp.33433076022346	Why? nyp.33433076022346 Why?"
nyp.33433076022346	Why?
nyp.33433076022346	Will he?
nyp.33433076022346	Will you be at home to- night?
nyp.33433076022346	Will you give them an encore?
nyp.33433076022346	Will you tell me?
nyp.33433076022346	Wit'out explaining his action?
nyp.33433076022346	With this man?
nyp.33433076022346	Would you like to go?
nyp.33433076022346	Would you mind if I sat down and took a smoke, while I decide how I'll arrange my furniture?
nyp.33433076022346	Yes — and then?
nyp.33433076022346	Yes — but what"You wore it when you went out last night?
nyp.33433076022346	Yes, he may have done that,admitted Godfrey;"and yet, why should he?
nyp.33433076022346	Yes, sir.-'i_ Tricks of the Trade^ 21 jpLAre you acquainted with the murderer?"
nyp.33433076022346	Yes,nodded Godfrey;"and the Nathan case?"
nyp.33433076022346	You admire her, then?
nyp.33433076022346	You are sure?
nyp.33433076022346	You do n't believe-"That you killed Graham? nyp.33433076022346 You do not know the prisoner?"
nyp.33433076022346	You have a key to his door?
nyp.33433076022346	You have a photograph of Thompson, I suppose?
nyp.33433076022346	You have already given Mr. Simmonds a descrip- tion of him?
nyp.33433076022346	You have perhaps suspected that the union between us is not a — ah — a legal one?
nyp.33433076022346	You have?
nyp.33433076022346	You kept it in your trunk?
nyp.33433076022346	You know him?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean I went through him? nyp.33433076022346 You mean Miss Croydon is the girl who ran away A Study in Probabilities 231 with Tremaine?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean he did n't sit still?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean she knew me?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean that boat has n't been away from the buoy since you tied it there?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean that you listened?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean we may have to prove an alibi?
nyp.33433076022346	You mean you do not so consider it at t'is mo- ment? nyp.33433076022346 You mean you know something about it?"
nyp.33433076022346	You never saw him before?
nyp.33433076022346	You really were n't bored last night?
nyp.33433076022346	You saw Mr. Drysdale come in?
nyp.33433076022346	You saw, then, that she was trying to protect him?
nyp.33433076022346	You think it sounds a little brutal?
nyp.33433076022346	You think those marks have some value?
nyp.33433076022346	You were happy there?
nyp.33433076022346	You were?
nyp.33433076022346	You wished to see me?
nyp.33433076022346	You wore the coat that evening?
nyp.33433076022346	You'll tell me, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076022346	You're quite certain of them?
nyp.33433076022346	You've read about that murder and robbery at the Delroy place near Babylon?
nyp.33433076022346	'"What is it?'
nyp.33433076022346	'Were n't you expecting me, Grace?'
nyp.33433076022346	'What has happened?'
nyp.33433076022346	'Why?'
nyp.33433076022346	'Y/ uknow him?"
nyp.33433076022346	'You'll excuse me?'

nyp.33433076022346	? nly slightly,"she answered coolly, disregarding GoArey's stare of amazement.
nyp.33433076022346	A Flash from the Depths 113"Then she is not an exception?"
nyp.33433076022346	Above all, why, after he had knocked Thompson down, should he stand over him and shoot him through the heart?
nyp.33433076022346	Ai n't I been here all evenin''cept fer that minute I run acrost th'street?
nyp.33433076022346	And have you chosen a gentle- man?
nyp.33433076022346	And if I was crazy enough to do a thing like that, would I go back to Pete Magraw's and hang around there, waitin'for the police to come after me?
nyp.33433076022346	And in the other particulars?
nyp.33433076022346	And she?
nyp.33433076022346	And this is all?"
nyp.33433076022346	And was there cause for that?
nyp.33433076022346	Are n't you glad?"
nyp.33433076022346	Are you and Miss Croydon engaged to be married?"
nyp.33433076022346	Are you goin't'lock me up?"
nyp.33433076022346	As my wife""Your wife?"
nyp.33433076022346	Asleep?
nyp.33433076022346	Bad night, ai n't it?"
nyp.33433076022346	But Mr. Drysdale has never, I think, been a client of ours; how did he happen to choose us?"
nyp.33433076022346	But if I did, what'd I want t'come back and kill him for?"
nyp.33433076022346	But in that case, who had?
nyp.33433076022346	But perhaps it was only my fancy — why should Mrs. Delroy deceive me?
nyp.33433076022346	But the mystery is — what could the provocation have been?
nyp.33433076022346	But then, why kill Thompson?
nyp.33433076022346	But what had that instant's agitation meant?
nyp.33433076022346	But what made you think I could identify this fellow?"
nyp.33433076022346	But what on earth possessed you to behave in such a crazy fashion?"
nyp.33433076022346	But what possible reason could she have for wishing to rent the rooms?
nyp.33433076022346	But what took her to that house?
nyp.33433076022346	But who could have foreseen a thing like this?"
nyp.33433076022346	But why should Miss Croydon seek to shield her?

nyp.33433076022346	Can you read French, Godfrey?"
nyp.33433076022346	Can you tell us anything?"
nyp.33433076022346	Coin't'use that on me, Vic?'
nyp.33433076022346	Come, Jimmy,"pursued Simmonds persuasively,"what did you do it for?
nyp.33433076022346	Could it really have been Miss Croydon?
nyp.33433076022346	Could she have been the assassin?
nyp.33433076022346	Delroy's?"
nyp.33433076022346	Delroy?"
nyp.33433076022346	Did he give them to you?"
nyp.33433076022346	Did he have any dough?"
nyp.33433076022346	Did that ex- plain Grace's indifference during the drive?
nyp.33433076022346	Did they hold the key to the mystery?
nyp.33433076022346	Did you have a pleasant time, Monday night, kicking your heels by the hour together, out at the per- gola?"
nyp.33433076022346	Did you kill this man?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do n't you feel a little nervous about it, Jimmy?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know her address?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know what I'm longing to do?
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know what that means?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you know where it came from?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you mean that Miss Croydon did n't write che note?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you recall the position of the radiator?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you think she'll ever forgive me?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you understand?"
nyp.33433076022346	Do you want to frighten Edith?"
nyp.33433076022346	Does a gentleman listen at the turn of the stairs to a conversation not intended for him?

nyp.33433076022346	Gettin'into more trouble?
nyp.33433076022346	Godfrey?"
nyp.33433076022346	Had Jimmy risen to that height of chivalry?
nyp.33433076022346	Had he not rather dreamed it?
nyp.33433076022346	Had they imagined the clippings told a secret which in fact they did not tell?
nyp.33433076022346	Have we far to go?"
nyp.33433076022346	Have you been in New York long?"
nyp.33433076022346	Have you seen his credentials?
nyp.33433076022346	He could see the flare of light which streamed from his neighbour's windows — what was there about him that repelled while it attracted?
nyp.33433076022346	Hello, who's that?"
nyp.33433076022346	Here's a point, now — how could Thompson, who was dead drunk at seven o'clock, be wide awake at eight?
nyp.33433076022346	Here's the key — why ca n't you open th'door yourself?"
nyp.33433076022346	How about your client?"
nyp.33433076022346	How are we to convince a jury that Tremaine really did all these things?"
nyp.33433076022346	How came the diamond there?
nyp.33433076022346	How can you think such a thing?
nyp.33433076022346	How could he have heard Miss Croydon's knock?"
nyp.33433076022346	How could she have permitted Tremaine's threatening insolence?
nyp.33433076022346	How could she nerve herself to enter them again?
nyp.33433076022346	How did Graham get hold of that but- ton off your rain- coat?"
nyp.33433076022346	How did I work it?
nyp.33433076022346	How did he get in condition to receive her?
nyp.33433076022346	How did it hap- pen?"
nyp.33433076022346	How does it hap- pen you're alone?"
nyp.33433076022346	How does the bedroom door lie, Lester, with reference to this one?"
nyp.33433076022346	How else could it have got there?
nyp.33433076022346	How'd I know but she'd take a shot at me?
nyp.33433076022346	How, with his eyes before her, could she fail to understand?
nyp.33433076022346	I as- sured him that these had n't been shut up — they have n't, have they, Edith?"
nyp.33433076022346	I fancy there'll be something of a sensation when we produce the necklace there — eh, Lester?"
nyp.33433076022346	I remembered the other famous case in which I had been engaged — must I look for the same solution here?
nyp.33433076022346	I rushed up th'stairs an'threw open th'door""Was n't it locked?"
nyp.33433076022346	I suppose they asked you about a million questions?"
nyp.33433076022346	I suppose we may see him?"
nyp.33433076022346	I suppose you've got somebody that'll swear they saw me do it?"
nyp.33433076022346	I wonder what's going on out there?"
nyp.33433076022346	INNOCENT OR GUILTY?
nyp.33433076022346	If Miss Croydon saw him do it, would she consent to associate with him?
nyp.33433076022346	If Tremaine had not killed Thompson, I asked my- self again, who had?
nyp.33433076022346	If Tremaine was the husband of Mrs. Delroy, how could he propose marriage to her sister?
nyp.33433076022346	If Tremaine were really the finished scoun- drel we supposed him, what chance had I against him?
nyp.33433076022346	If it's a blind, what's his real game?"
nyp.33433076022346	If not, how did he get into the rooms?
nyp.33433076022346	Innocent or Guilty?
nyp.33433076022346	Is Mr. Delroy here?'
nyp.33433076022346	Is n't it a fearful night?'
nyp.33433076022346	Is n't the committee really going to Mar- tinique?"
nyp.33433076022346	Is n't there a chance that Miss Croydon may get better aftei*a while and come down?'
nyp.33433076022346	Is n't there any way?"
nyp.33433076022346	Is she not pretty?"
nyp.33433076022346	Is that enough?"
nyp.33433076022346	Is there any virtue in dreams, I wonder?
nyp.33433076022346	It was to do that you came here to- night""Who told you that?"
nyp.33433076022346	It's nothing serious, I hope?'
nyp.33433076022346	It's your gardener, Graham, is n't it?
nyp.33433076022346	Jimmy the Dude?
nyp.33433076022346	Light from a New Angle 47"'Is she subject to nervous headaches?'
nyp.33433076022346	Look at me — do you doubt it?"
nyp.33433076022346	Look at the prisoner before you — is he the man?"
nyp.33433076022346	Magraw?"
nyp.33433076022346	No more murders, I hope?"
nyp.33433076022346	Now if Jimmy did n't have the key, who did?"
nyp.33433076022346	Now,"he demanded,"do you understand who it was married Tremaine at Petits Colombes in 1891?"
nyp.33433076022346	Of course, you know him?"
nyp.33433076022346	Oh'so she told you, did she?"
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, why did you go?, Why did you go?
nyp.33433076022346	Oh, why did you go?, Why did you go?
nyp.33433076022346	Or mebbe he was lookin'through the transom?"
nyp.33433076022346	Or mebbe you'd rather I'd change th'lock?"
nyp.33433076022346	Pierre?"
nyp.33433076022346	Pierre?"
nyp.33433076022346	Robbery?
nyp.33433076022346	See here, Mr. Godfrey, you do n't believe I'd be such a damned fool as to put a man out with a woman watchin'me do it?"
nyp.33433076022346	Shall I let you out?'
nyp.33433076022346	Shall we say next Saturday?"
nyp.33433076022346	Sit down, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076022346	Some news from the house- party?"
nyp.33433076022346	T. D. Whose are t'ey?"
nyp.33433076022346	Take those big cases — which do you think was the best of the lot?"
nyp.33433076022346	Then I'd have my feet on solid ground; I could — sh!—who's that?"
nyp.33433076022346	Then there's been ill- feeling between them?"
nyp.33433076022346	There's one thing about the clothing, though — have you noticed?
nyp.33433076022346	They must have some connection with the tragedy?
nyp.33433076022346	To protect Miss Croydon?

nyp.33433076022346	Was Jimmy guilty, after all?
nyp.33433076022346	Was Jimmy really guilty?
nyp.33433076022346	Was he fish- ing?"
nyp.33433076022346	Was he justified in pushing her further?
nyp.33433076022346	Was it a plant?"
nyp.33433076022346	Was it not merely a wild imagin- ing?
nyp.33433076022346	Was it the lightning?"
nyp.33433076022346	Was it the rooms and not the man that had brought her to the Marathon?
nyp.33433076022346	Was she thinking of Tremaine?
nyp.33433076022346	Was she trying to shield him, out of gratitude, perhaps, for defending her?
nyp.33433076022346	Was that why she sat beside him silent, distraught?
nyp.33433076022346	Was the murderer a friend of Thompson's?
nyp.33433076022346	Was there a blood relationship be- tween Cecily and Miss Croydon?
nyp.33433076022346	Was there really any connection between him and Thomp- son?
nyp.33433076022346	Was there some connection be- tween them?
nyp.33433076022346	Were they mistaken, too?
nyp.33433076022346	What are you going to do?"
nyp.33433076022346	What better hiding- place could he ask than the waters of the bay?
nyp.33433076022346	What connection could there be between them?
nyp.33433076022346	What had he meant by that glance of disdain?
nyp.33433076022346	What have I done to deserve you?"
nyp.33433076022346	What have you done?'
nyp.33433076022346	What is it, Grace?'
nyp.33433076022346	What is it?"
nyp.33433076022346	What is it?"
nyp.33433076022346	What is it?"
nyp.33433076022346	What light is it possible for these clippings to shed on the murder of Thompson?
nyp.33433076022346	What resist- less motive was it that had urged her on?
nyp.33433076022346	What right has he to doubt you, to make conditions, to demand explanations?

nyp.33433076022346	What was the secret which those papers guarded?
nyp.33433076022346	What was the secret?
nyp.33433076022346	What was the use of telling the police a story like that?"
nyp.33433076022346	What was.there in her errand that needed to be concealed from me?
nyp.33433076022346	What'd anybody want to murder him for?
nyp.33433076022346	What's Mr. Tremaine done?"
nyp.33433076022346	What's he been doin'?
nyp.33433076022346	What's the matter with him, anyway?
nyp.33433076022346	What's this?"
nyp.33433076022346	When can you have the rooms ready?"
nyp.33433076022346	When was it you got back?"

nyp.33433076022346	Where, then, had this diamond come from?
nyp.33433076022346	Which was the truth?
nyp.33433076022346	Who did it?
nyp.33433076022346	Who else, then?
nyp.33433076022346	Who found t'e body?"
nyp.33433076022346	Who is Thompson?

nyp.33433076022346	Why did he not tefend himself?
nyp.33433076022346	Why did his hands tremble so?
nyp.33433076022346	Why did you permit him to talk to you the way he did?"
nyp.33433076022346	Why did you permit it?"
nyp.33433076022346	Why had Tremaine sought for them?
nyp.33433076022346	Why not break it off?
nyp.33433076022346	Why should he allow himself to be beaten down?"
nyp.33433076022346	Why should she go there alone, at night, to meet a drunken brute?
nyp.33433076022346	Why should she make a mystery of it?
nyp.33433076022346	Why, looking at her, did his face change — soften, harden?
nyp.33433076022346	Why?
nyp.33433076022346	Why?"
nyp.33433076022346	Wo n't you join me?"
nyp.33433076022346	Would n't her very knowledge of his crime give her a greater hold on him than he has on her sister?"
nyp.33433076022346	Yet if they were worthless, why had Miss Croydon taken them?
nyp.33433076022346	Yet, why not?
nyp.33433076022346	You agree with me thus far?"
nyp.33433076022346	You ask me that?"
nyp.33433076022346	You did n't know him, I guess, sir?"
nyp.33433076022346	You do n't happen to know what this business engagement was?"

nyp.33433076022346	You see, Edith is ill. Will you ring?'
nyp.33433076022346	You were the only witness of this tragedy, I believe, Miss Croydon?"

nyp.33433076079437	About his hesitating to announce our en- gagement? nyp.33433076079437 About — what — who?"
nyp.33433076079437	Ah- h?
nyp.33433076079437	Alone?
nyp.33433076079437	And Gower — you say he does no more shoot- ing?
nyp.33433076079437	And how's she lasting?
nyp.33433076079437	And it was a quarter past five when Mr. Knowles telephoned her?
nyp.33433076079437	And it was then that you suspected her?
nyp.33433076079437	And meant it?
nyp.33433076079437	And now?
nyp.33433076079437	And she did denounce him?
nyp.33433076079437	And that satisfied her, put her into good humour?
nyp.33433076079437	And you accuse me of the attack upon Miss Newman?
nyp.33433076079437	And you ca n't tell me anything more about it?
nyp.33433076079437	And you remember I advised you not to say it?
nyp.33433076079437	And you were going to say?
nyp.33433076079437	Another case of hazy dreams, is n't it?
nyp.33433076079437	Any chance of finding out where she went?
nyp.33433076079437	Any water?

nyp.33433076079437	But I do n't understand why you need do it, John.—Why?
nyp.33433076079437	But who? nyp.33433076079437 But you think she is a spy?"
nyp.33433076079437	But you — would it be disagreeable if he came back and interrupted us?
nyp.33433076079437	Could he — did he pretend to say whether it contained a communication paper?
nyp.33433076079437	Could it have been the middle of May?
nyp.33433076079437	Did Miss Newman go to Norfolk two or three weeks ago? nyp.33433076079437 Did he say he would do that?"
nyp.33433076079437	Did you see anybody — anybody of special interest?
nyp.33433076079437	Did you — did you — see it?
nyp.33433076079437	Do n't see why?
nyp.33433076079437	Do n't think I'm unreasonable, John,she said,"but can you come back here from the conference?"
nyp.33433076079437	Do you deny that you did what I've just said?
nyp.33433076079437	Do you know where he went?

nyp.33433076079437	For you?
nyp.33433076079437	Get me?
nyp.33433076079437	Going out — so early?

nyp.33433076079437	Gower?
nyp.33433076079437	Had you noticed the fly pest, Whipple? nyp.33433076079437 Have n't you done a low thing?"
nyp.33433076079437	He's a physician,she Was able to say before he could choose the words he wanted,"and he was in consultation — or at work — what does it matter?
nyp.33433076079437	Help him? nyp.33433076079437 How about it, Jerry?
nyp.33433076079437	How about the one shot, the empty shell?
nyp.33433076079437	How about the range?
nyp.33433076079437	How about this next room — here, the front room?
nyp.33433076079437	How do you know that? nyp.33433076079437 How do you know that?"
nyp.33433076079437	How do you know there was a second?
nyp.33433076079437	How do you know?
nyp.33433076079437	How?
nyp.33433076079437	How?
nyp.33433076079437	I do n't have to read it, do I?
nyp.33433076079437	I do prefer. — Now, Mr. Gower, was the mainspring broken?
nyp.33433076079437	I mean,he continued,"it might have been said that Gower, or I, or Whipple, anybody in this house, had shot her. — Do I tire you?"
nyp.33433076079437	I merely wanted to ask you,he said,"about a note, or a message — shall I say?
nyp.33433076079437	I put these three boards over the hogshead — see?
nyp.33433076079437	I request advice now — about Riley, if I may KOSALIE EEVEALS A SECRET 255 — you know him pretty well, do n't you? nyp.33433076079437 I see. — Now, then,"he spoke as if he forced himself with difficulty to the words:"anybody in this house interested in firearms?"
nyp.33433076079437	I was wondering — man of good principles?
nyp.33433076079437	I wonder — Any special reason for it?
nyp.33433076079437	I'd have less than an hour there. — Im- portant that I be here at eleven?
nyp.33433076079437	I'd like to know that,Thayer went further:"possibility of — from a window over here?"
nyp.33433076079437	If it's been discharged recently?
nyp.33433076079437	If they do?
nyp.33433076079437	In Norfolk?
nyp.33433076079437	In trying to save a friend?
nyp.33433076079437	Indeed?
nyp.33433076079437	Is n't there any professional etiquette among you men?
nyp.33433076079437	Is that Conrad's reason for standing by Gower? nyp.33433076079437 Is that all, father?"
nyp.33433076079437	Is that why you cut short your talk with him?
nyp.33433076079437	It was half- past three when you and she came in from the street; went up to Number Thirty- five?
nyp.33433076079437	John, ought you? nyp.33433076079437 Keep that, Major; will you?
nyp.33433076079437	Know anything more about him?
nyp.33433076079437	Laughing?
nyp.33433076079437	Let me think —But it was Hastings who spoke first:"I want to ask you this: what is your father's idea in helping Gower and hurting Thayer?"
nyp.33433076079437	Like him?
nyp.33433076079437	Look, both of you, will you? nyp.33433076079437 Major Ross,"the old man answered by ques- tioning the chief of police,"what do you pro- pose?"
nyp.33433076079437	Major, as I un- derstand it, the senator's under arrest?
nyp.33433076079437	May I come?
nyp.33433076079437	Meaning —?
nyp.33433076079437	More dangerous?
nyp.33433076079437	Mr. Conrad, what's the trouble? nyp.33433076079437 Mr. Gower, what time was it when you saw the stabbing of Miss Newman?"
nyp.33433076079437	Mr. Gower,the examination con- tinued,"why did you wait twelve hours to give the authorities this information?"
nyp.33433076079437	Mrs. Fontaine's advertised in every news- paper in the country this morning — have you seen the morning papers?
nyp.33433076079437	My dear sir,she said, exasperated beyond her patience,"what does all this repetition mean?
nyp.33433076079437	My next step?
nyp.33433076079437	My watch?
nyp.33433076079437	Not about David Gower?
nyp.33433076079437	Now, Mr. Knowles, how was it possible for you not to have discovered the theft until three months, or even two weeks, after its commis- sion?
nyp.33433076079437	Now, about Knowles?
nyp.33433076079437	Now, what does all that mean? nyp.33433076079437 Of course, too,"the detective prodded with repetition,"there's another thing: what will the bullet show when we have it in our hands?"
nyp.33433076079437	Of course, you've evidence supporting such a charge?
nyp.33433076079437	Of course. — But you were going to say?
nyp.33433076079437	Oh, that? nyp.33433076079437 Oh,"Felix ignored the prophesied danger;"by the way, the bullet — did it show any- thing?"
nyp.33433076079437	Oh,Gower said, shrugging,"why deny it to you, Senator?"
nyp.33433076079437	Oh,she said in a new access of impatience,"why do n't you break the grip this wretched man has on you?"
nyp.33433076079437	Ought to be back by this time, ought n't he?
nyp.33433076079437	People talk to you, Florence, as much as they used to, I reckon?
nyp.33433076079437	Perhaps, not — sometimes. — Mrs. Beale Jackson, she enjoyed it thoroughly, did n't she?
nyp.33433076079437	Protector? nyp.33433076079437 Queer, is n't it?
nyp.33433076079437	Quite an ex- perience, was n't it?
nyp.33433076079437	Registered as being from Washington, did n't she?
nyp.33433076079437	Responsible for what you say? nyp.33433076079437 Shot fired inside the apartment, or from a window outside?"
nyp.33433076079437	Shot — and who's the surgeon?
nyp.33433076079437	Show what?
nyp.33433076079437	Smith and Wesson, forty- four; fired once; empty shell missing. — All right, Sco: what's the story?
nyp.33433076079437	So the theft's more than three months old or less than three weeks old?
nyp.33433076079437	So,she said slowly,"you know — what?"
nyp.33433076079437	So?
nyp.33433076079437	Suppose, then, I run over the clues we can give the reporters when I leave here?
nyp.33433076079437	THE SUPREMELY VERACIOUS109"It's Gower or Knowles — or both of them — or is Knowles just a plain fool liar?"
nyp.33433076079437	Talk what over?
nyp.33433076079437	Tell me,she said, when he had his hand on the knob;"where will you start?
nyp.33433076079437	That Thayer?
nyp.33433076079437	That note: where is it?
nyp.33433076079437	That so?
nyp.33433076079437	That there was a second attack?
nyp.33433076079437	That's all, is n't it — all you care to say?
nyp.33433076079437	That's really accommodating. — Senator, will you come with me? nyp.33433076079437 That?
nyp.33433076079437	Thayer anything to do with it?
nyp.33433076079437	Thayer coming here?
nyp.33433076079437	The brain?
nyp.33433076079437	The few public ad- dresses I've delivered, the raising of a fund — Do you smoke?
nyp.33433076079437	The great out- doors, the pleasant breath of flowers, the canopy of stars — what better surroundings could a thinking man desire?
nyp.33433076079437	The note I gave you,he said finally;"you saw me burn it?"
nyp.33433076079437	The one in black?
nyp.33433076079437	This man Gower, now: know anything more about him?
nyp.33433076079437	To La Fayette Park?
nyp.33433076079437	Two hours?
nyp.33433076079437	Was he a good shot?
nyp.33433076079437	Well, suppose you did — what of it?
nyp.33433076079437	Well, what do you think of it?
nyp.33433076079437	Well,the detective asked,"what do you say, Jerry?
nyp.33433076079437	Well?
nyp.33433076079437	What about him?
nyp.33433076079437	What about it, David?
nyp.33433076079437	What about this devoted employ^, this Gower?
nyp.33433076079437	What are these two hiding? nyp.33433076079437 What are you going to do — to me?"
nyp.33433076079437	What did he mean by that?
nyp.33433076079437	What did he say?
nyp.33433076079437	What did occur?
nyp.33433076079437	What did you wear last night?
nyp.33433076079437	What do you mean, Rosalie?
nyp.33433076079437	What do you mean, father?
nyp.33433076079437	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079437	What else is there to do?
nyp.33433076079437	What first?
nyp.33433076079437	What foolery is this?'
nyp.33433076079437	What for?
nyp.33433076079437	What happened?
nyp.33433076079437	What is it, Whipple? nyp.33433076079437 What is it?"
nyp.33433076079437	What is it?
nyp.33433076079437	What is it?
nyp.33433076079437	What's her history? nyp.33433076079437 What's that, over there?"
nyp.33433076079437	What's the matter?
nyp.33433076079437	What's the number of Miss Newman's apart- ment?
nyp.33433076079437	What's the number of your residence?
nyp.33433076079437	What,he countered, his voice flat,"has di- minished it so?"
nyp.33433076079437	What? nyp.33433076079437 What?"
nyp.33433076079437	What?
nyp.33433076079437	When did the department tell you that?
nyp.33433076079437	When did you find her?
nyp.33433076079437	When did you find that out?
nyp.33433076079437	When was that — approximately?
nyp.33433076079437	When, Jeff?
nyp.33433076079437	Where are you?
nyp.33433076079437	Where do you get that?
nyp.33433076079437	Where is the senator?
nyp.33433076079437	Whipple, who put the new wire screen on the upper Eighteenth street window, third floor front?
nyp.33433076079437	Who cares about newspapers? nyp.33433076079437 Who did get it?"
nyp.33433076079437	Who is it?
nyp.33433076079437	Who is she — this beautiful, charming Zi- mony Newman?
nyp.33433076079437	Who was it? nyp.33433076079437 Who was the man?"
nyp.33433076079437	Who,Felix put another inquiry,"did you say was the surgeon in charge?"
nyp.33433076079437	Who? nyp.33433076079437 Whut's de mattuh?"
nyp.33433076079437	Whut's de mattuh?
nyp.33433076079437	Why away from his dope?
nyp.33433076079437	Why did you go to the Melwood last night?
nyp.33433076079437	Why do n't you go?
nyp.33433076079437	Why do n't you quit?
nyp.33433076079437	Why do you say Zimony Newman is a spy?
nyp.33433076079437	Why fence like this, you and I?
nyp.33433076079437	Why not?
nyp.33433076079437	Why should a senator have complied with the terms of that note?
nyp.33433076079437	Why? nyp.33433076079437 Why?"
nyp.33433076079437	Why?
nyp.33433076079437	Will you trust me, about Knowles, a little while — just a very little while?
nyp.33433076079437	With — what?
nyp.33433076079437	Yes, I was; but that was n't —"For a long time?
nyp.33433076079437	Yes; what?
nyp.33433076079437	Yes? nyp.33433076079437 Yes?"
nyp.33433076079437	Yes?
nyp.33433076079437	Yes?
nyp.33433076079437	You could hardly blame her for that, could you? nyp.33433076079437 You did?"
nyp.33433076079437	You looked over here?
nyp.33433076079437	You mean Gower shot her?
nyp.33433076079437	You mean morphine put you to sleep after you'd seen this assault?
nyp.33433076079437	You mean you think he stabbed her?
nyp.33433076079437	You mean — is it possible that Gower knows anything further about this case than his pos- itive assertion that you stabbed the woman?
nyp.33433076079437	You mean, you refuse to help me in getting at a few facts, facts vitally important to me, and to others?
nyp.33433076079437	You see?
nyp.33433076079437	You'd hardly want the engagement an- nounced in a newspaper column next to another column outlining evidence against him — would you?
nyp.33433076079437	You're a musician, are n't you?
nyp.33433076079437	You're not going out, are you?
nyp.33433076079437	You're not?
nyp.33433076079437	You're sure he shot the woman?
nyp.33433076079437	You've made up your mind, Bosalie?
nyp.33433076079437	You,she spoke harshly;"you're consider- ate, are n't you?"
nyp.33433076079437	Your relations with her in the meantime, during the more than three months after her leaving your office: what were they?
nyp.33433076079437	'That's a secret'— is it?
nyp.33433076079437	106 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"Why is Knowles lying his head off if Gower's the only one responsible for the crime?
nyp.33433076079437	123 124 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"Applying the word'wretched'to — what, or whom?"
nyp.33433076079437	206 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"Show anything: the calibre of the revolver or —""What,"Hastings cut in,"makes you say it was a revolver?"
nyp.33433076079437	240 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY — or was it John Thayer?
nyp.33433076079437	244 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY Hastings, looking down at him, inquired blandly:"Interested in your watch?"
nyp.33433076079437	256 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"You mean — bribery?"
nyp.33433076079437	266 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"Zimony Newman?"
nyp.33433076079437	34 THE MELWOOD.MYSTERY"What note?"
nyp.33433076079437	52 TIIE MELWOOD MYSTERY"Thayer?"
nyp.33433076079437	68 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"But what about the Department of Justice, your chief?"
nyp.33433076079437	88 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY You were saying, Mr. Knowles, you thought she had stolen — plans?"
nyp.33433076079437	90 THE MELWOOD MYSTERY"But why should she have kept these originals three months?
nyp.33433076079437	About two feet by three, would n't you say?"
nyp.33433076079437	And Knowles is lying about his part in the matter — afraid of what?
nyp.33433076079437	And the bullet, Mr. Hastings: who probed for it?"
nyp.33433076079437	And why did Felix Conrad'want to assist Gower in his clash with the police?
nyp.33433076079437	And why had n't the detective asked for more light on it?
nyp.33433076079437	Another thing: were Knowles'blue- prints hidden in the portfolio?
nyp.33433076079437	Any ammonia, aromatic, there?
nyp.33433076079437	Are you yourself — now?"
nyp.33433076079437	As a matter of fact, was n't that true?
nyp.33433076079437	As plainly as if she had written it on paper and handed the writing to him, he knew she was debating,"What does he know?"
nyp.33433076079437	But was that true?
nyp.33433076079437	But what?—Unfortunately, she knew nothing. — She and Zimony were friends, but of what avail was that?
nyp.33433076079437	But why and how Miss Newman's present po- sition?
nyp.33433076079437	But you see the straight, uninterrupted line of vision from there to this window, through the opening in the foliage of the trees?"
nyp.33433076079437	Can you come right over?"
nyp.33433076079437	Conrad's writing?"
nyp.33433076079437	Conrad?"
nyp.33433076079437	Conrad?"
nyp.33433076079437	Conrad?"
nyp.33433076079437	Conrad?"
nyp.33433076079437	Conrad?"
nyp.33433076079437	Consequently, you've been among the first to realize that large and interesting events are taking place in this — neighbour- hood?"
nyp.33433076079437	Could Gower have stolen the artist's portfolio from the girl's apartment?
nyp.33433076079437	David Gower, her father's secretary — could it be possible?
nyp.33433076079437	Did Ross tell you about it?"
nyp.33433076079437	Did n't she, hurt and bleeding as she was, have this struggle with him until he gave her the second wound?"
nyp.33433076079437	Did you know about it?
nyp.33433076079437	Did you look at your watch?"
nyp.33433076079437	Do you doubt my word?"
nyp.33433076079437	Do you know?"
nyp.33433076079437	Do you see?"
nyp.33433076079437	Do you think it's pleasing to me to have you written up as the comforting friend of the friend of this Newman woman?
nyp.33433076079437	Ever hear, Larry, that she — ever hear anything about her, particularly, er — ah — specifically?"
nyp.33433076079437	Felix, apparently oblivious of the apology, wanted information:"Who will make the ar- rest?"
nyp.33433076079437	Forgery, or the wo- man's writing?"
nyp.33433076079437	Glancing at the mirror on his wind- shield, he saw Knowles stand up in the cab and throw something toward the river: the re- volver — see?
nyp.33433076079437	Gower's'fit'this morning, his repug- nant pronouncement of a union between himself and Conrad — why that?
nyp.33433076079437	Gower?"
nyp.33433076079437	Had Mar- cello done that in his first, blind impulse to try to hide what he thought was a dead body?
nyp.33433076079437	Harry, stopping the car at the third floor, found the senator awaiting him with the query:"Miss Newman out — do you know?"
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings asked him, without preface:"Seen Knowles this morning?"
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings made his point:"And, if Miss Conrad authorized me to ques- tion you at any time about anything, past or fu- ture, you'd be agreeable?
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings?"
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings?"
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings?"
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings?"
nyp.33433076079437	Hastings?"
nyp.33433076079437	He addressed Harry directly:"Do you know whether she might be in another apartment in the house?"
nyp.33433076079437	He comprehended all her meaning, but he put the obvious question, lifted eye- brows pointing his surprise:"Did what?"
nyp.33433076079437	He hung up the receiver, thinking:"More facts — or more muddle- fuddle?
nyp.33433076079437	He looked out of the window at the Washington monument bathed in the white silk of light from a dozen searchlights — but why look at that now?
nyp.33433076079437	He managed a hoarse question:"Is she alive?"
nyp.33433076079437	Here's the hour, all yours.—What now?"
nyp.33433076079437	His sure, slender fingers busy with the wound, he questioned the artist:"How long ago — when did you find her?"
nyp.33433076079437	How could Gower have had access to the girl's apartment without the knowledge of Harry Fields?
nyp.33433076079437	How could he?
nyp.33433076079437	How could you identify it as one for communication?"
nyp.33433076079437	How strong was he, anyway?
nyp.33433076079437	I fell — I pre- sume we're talking confidentially; this wo n't be published?"
nyp.33433076079437	I think I said the shade of this window was not down?
nyp.33433076079437	I wish I knew — Knowles or Gower, or who?"
nyp.33433076079437	I'll see him in — What do you want to know?
nyp.33433076079437	I'm on a big case, and I want to help a mighty sweet girl. — What do you know"THE SUPREMELY VERACIOUS"103 about a man named Conrad, Felix Conrad?"
nyp.33433076079437	If I do n't arrest him, you know what the papers will say?"
nyp.33433076079437	If it had not dropped from her wound, what was the explanation of its being there?
nyp.33433076079437	If it would bring you the money to'put over'one of your brilliant ideas, you'd starve a child, or even stab a woman, would n't you?"
nyp.33433076079437	Is it right?"
nyp.33433076079437	Is n't that true?"
nyp.33433076079437	Is that what you mean?"
nyp.33433076079437	Is this man in- sane?"
nyp.33433076079437	Know what you say?"
nyp.33433076079437	Knowles?"
nyp.33433076079437	Leaving the building an hour later, Larry Thayer raged inwardly:"And what about her?
nyp.33433076079437	MR. HASTINGS STUDIES"SOCIETY"91"Not in daily use in your office?"
nyp.33433076079437	May we?"
nyp.33433076079437	Now what?"
nyp.33433076079437	Of whom?
nyp.33433076079437	Or had she, on the point of losing consciousness, reached out and grasped it in an attempt to keep from falling?
nyp.33433076079437	Or were they afraid of each other?
nyp.33433076079437	Ross, bewildered by this, appealed to Conrad:"What is the trouble?"
nyp.33433076079437	See?
nyp.33433076079437	Shall I give it to you or to Hastings, the Department of Justice man?"
nyp.33433076079437	She would n't have kept the plans three months — would she?"
nyp.33433076079437	So you had it all arranged before- hand?"
nyp.33433076079437	Startled, yes; I can un- derstand that — but frightened?
nyp.33433076079437	Sup- pose we walk?"
nyp.33433076079437	Taxi outside?"
nyp.33433076079437	That answer?"
nyp.33433076079437	That is, if I might do so without presumption?"
nyp.33433076079437	That true?"
nyp.33433076079437	That's my job.—What comes first?"
nyp.33433076079437	Thayer asked about Knowles:"Did you ar- rest him?"
nyp.33433076079437	Thayer put a question:"Had you made an appointment — with Miss Newman?"
nyp.33433076079437	Thayer said gratefully;"arranging things as I asked: keeping Gower locked up until tomorrow — or later if we say so?"
nyp.33433076079437	Thayer, ignoring Conrad, went to the door,"That's all you've got to say?"
nyp.33433076079437	The detective turned to Ross:"I beg your pardon — but my sugges- tion's fair?"
nyp.33433076079437	The detective, slanting a glance under his spec- tacles, took up the colloquy:"At first?"
nyp.33433076079437	The senator guilty — this man who a few min- utes ago had cried down another with an inten- sity scarcely credible?
nyp.33433076079437	The senator voiced its sequel:"What with?"
nyp.33433076079437	Their opinions —""Mr. Knowles,"the detective interrupted,"let Mr. Jermane have it, will you?
nyp.33433076079437	Then, testing the edge with prudent forefinger, he asked:"Why the silence?
nyp.33433076079437	There was a trick to meet this attack — what was it?
nyp.33433076079437	They annoy you?"
nyp.33433076079437	Threatening what?"
nyp.33433076079437	To trap Gower — unfairly?
nyp.33433076079437	WITH THE PATIENCE OF JOB 113"Why?"
nyp.33433076079437	Was it possible that Mary and Zimony both had de- ceived her?
nyp.33433076079437	Was the hole made irom the outside or from the room inside?'
nyp.33433076079437	Was the senator there?

nyp.33433076073893	Could there have been any family reason that would influence him to leave the pearls away from his daughter? ” “ Oh, no!
nyp.33433076073893	Could there have been two against him?
nyp.33433076073893	Dead man's your brother, ai n't he? ” “ Yes. ”- “ Shot dead and no weapon around.
nyp.33433076073893	Did he abduct Betty, shoot her father, kill Martha?
nyp.33433076073893	Did he kidnap Betty? ” “ And kill Mr Varian? ” Zizi added, and then Granniss returned.
nyp.33433076073893	Did he kidnap Betty? ” “ And kill Mr Varian? ” Zizi added, and then Granniss returned.
nyp.33433076073893	Did you ever hear any of that?
nyp.33433076073893	Did you never tell anybody?
nyp.33433076073893	Do you know there is no way you can escape if I choose to make you a prisoner?
nyp.33433076073893	Do you think it is all a fraud? ” “ I ’m going to look into that as soon as I can.
nyp.33433076073893	For how could any other thing happen?
nyp.33433076073893	Friendly, I mean? ” “ So far as I know, they were.
nyp.33433076073893	From the time I was born,-how old was I, Dad, when you first saw me? ” Mr Varian looked reminiscent.

nyp.33433076073893	Had North managed to scribble it while his captor or captors looked another way?
nyp.33433076073893	Have n't you been rushing things? ” “ I knew them before, ” said Granniss, simply.
nyp.33433076073893	He had seen her enter the house, had seen her father go in a few moments later, now where was the girl?
nyp.33433076073893	He's a rich man? ” “ Not that I know of.
nyp.33433076073893	How about a dark cover? ” “ Very well,—find one. ” The Doctor spoke ab- sorbedly, uncaring.
nyp.33433076073893	How are you going to manage the payment? ” “ If you mean the method of handing it over, I do n't know.
nyp.33433076073893	How can I ask for it? ” “ You just wait for their next instruction.
nyp.33433076073893	How could there be an adoption?
nyp.33433076073893	How could there be one?
nyp.33433076073893	How did he disappear again?
nyp.33433076073893	How did he get in the house?
nyp.33433076073893	How did she get away? ” “ There was nobody in my room, ” Minna said, overhearing.
nyp.33433076073893	How did the maid die? ” “ I do n't know, exactly, ” Rodney looked puzzled.
nyp.33433076073893	How did the sheriff know that?
nyp.33433076073893	How do you stand it, Betty?
nyp.33433076073893	How explain Fred's death?
nyp.33433076073893	How explain anything?
nyp.33433076073893	How'd you come to think of looking for that cave arrangement ”?
nyp.33433076073893	I ca n't be of any service here, can I?
nyp.33433076073893	I ca n't fail, ultimately,–I ca n't! ” The man was so desperate in his determination, so Where is N orth?
nyp.33433076073893	I didn'-- “ How did you happen to notice the pillows, Kelly? ” Bill watched him closely.
nyp.33433076073893	I do n't believe that girl is dead, do you? ” “ No; I do n't.
nyp.33433076073893	I do not know where Betty is, but we ’ve no reason to think she is dead 25 “ Then why does n't she come to me?
nyp.33433076073893	I made up my mind that if one more person said to me, “ How did the kidnapper get in? ” I ’d have him arrested!
nyp.33433076073893	I mean, how do you explain Betty's dis- appearance without being kidnapped, any more easily than by such means?
nyp.33433076073893	I suppose they were locked and barred as usual? ” “ Yes, they were, ” asserted Kelly.
nyp.33433076073893	I think that maybe Betty killed her father accidentally*, “ That is a new idea. ” “ Yes; I know it's almost incredible, but what idea is n't?
nyp.33433076073893	I ’m told you have a fine one? ” “ Of course I will, ” was the ready response.
nyp.33433076073893	I've a right to try this thin 5* “ But, oh, ” said Claire, “ suppose it should be a fake?
nyp.33433076073893	I've no wish to question the ser- vants, they had nothing to do with it. ” “ It was the kidnappers, then? ” Zizi asked, softly.
nyp.33433076073893	I90 Where is North?
nyp.33433076073893	In fact, I may have to wait a week to find out about it. ” “ Getting an expert on it? ” “ Nope.
nyp.33433076073893	Is Rod Grannis here?
nyp.33433076073893	Is he given to practical joking? ” But no amount of searching disclosed Lawrence North, or any sign of him, dead or alive.
nyp.33433076073893	Is it through the kitchen? ” “ Wait a couple of days, Ziz.
nyp.33433076073893	Is n't he an architect?
nyp.33433076073893	Is n't it true, Miss Varian? ” “ Yes, ” Eleanor said, “ to a degree, it is.
nyp.33433076073893	Is n't she a very daring young person? ” “ She was afraid of nothing, ” Hannah stated.
nyp.33433076073893	Is n't there a phrase, ‘ that way madness lies'?
nyp.33433076073893	Is she dead, too?
nyp.33433076073893	Is that why you came? ” “ Hush, Nell.
nyp.33433076073893	It can do no harm to feel for his heart, no, it is not beating,< what does it mean?
nyp.33433076073893	It de- pended, of course, on her father's consent x 3 “ And that he refused to give? ” asked Potter.
nyp.33433076073893	It is her body I think we are more likely to find. ” “ How, then, did the assassin get away? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076073893	It was used the night Martha A Green Stain 2I3 “ What does it smell like? ” “ There's no odor to it, that I can notice.
nyp.33433076073893	Kelly! ” A Letter from Nowhere 179 “ Yes, sir. ” “ Where were you all night? ” “ In my bed, sir.
nyp.33433076073893	Kelly, what about you?
nyp.33433076073893	Kelly, what are you doing? ” “ I ’m about to get supper, madam, ” Kelly's glance rested kindly on the pathetic figure.
nyp.33433076073893	Kiss and make up, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076073893	Leave the room looking as if he had gone off unwillingly or unconsciously?
nyp.33433076073893	May I help?
nyp.33433076073893	Maybe she went down to see what she could pick up hersel x- “ Steal, do you mean?
nyp.33433076073893	Miss Betty Varian's suitors? ”- “ Even so, ” said Granniss, calmly.
nyp.33433076073893	Miss Varian?
nyp.33433076073893	Mr Varian is a Wall Street man, 22 “ Magnate? ” “ Yes, I daresay.
nyp.33433076073893	My, what a case! ” “ Do you blame Mr Varian? ” “ Not a bit!
nyp.33433076073893	No, sir, it never was in my kitchen at all. ” “ What do you know about it? ” Dunn turned to the butler.
nyp.33433076073893	Nobody around the house uses watercolors, I suppose? ” “ No, ” said Granniss.
nyp.33433076073893	Not even your husband? ” “ I never did.
nyp.33433076073893	Now let's count up what we've really got toward a solution. ” 220 Criminal or Victim?
nyp.33433076073893	Now, Mr Wise, tell me what you suspect regarding Mr Varian?
nyp.33433076073893	Now, Mr Wise, what next? ” “ Next, is to find out how that note got into this house, ” said Pennington Wise.
nyp.33433076073893	Now, what could he have meant by that? ” 200 The Vanishing of Betty Varian “ I ca n't imagine, but I'm glad you have told me these things.
nyp.33433076073893	Now, where is Betty? ” “ That we do n't know yet, ” Wise said, gently, “ but we are on the way at last to find out.
nyp.33433076073893	Now, where is it?
nyp.33433076073893	Now, why did she go down again? ” “ That I do not know, ” Hannah said, belliger- ently, “ but it was for no wrong purpose.
nyp.33433076073893	Now, why?
nyp.33433076073893	Now, wo n't you please tell me some things confidentially?
nyp.33433076073893	Oh, Martha, me little girl, who could'a'done this to ye? ” Going nearer, Rodney looked at the body, touched it and felt for the girl's heart.
nyp.33433076073893	Oh, who of us is safe now? ” CHAPTER XIII Where is North?
nyp.33433076073893	Oh, who of us is safe now? ” CHAPTER XIII Where is North?
nyp.33433076073893	Please tell me of the child?
nyp.33433076073893	Put those glasses on that tray, will you, Nell?
nyp.33433076073893	Rod or your father? ” Betty laughed.
nyp.33433076073893	Shall I try it? ” “ Look at it this way, Mrs Varian, ” Granniss said at last.
nyp.33433076073893	She had been down stairs,* x- “ After midnight? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076073893	She has people? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076073893	She thought it was robbers in the house and she went down to see. ” “ Well? ” “ Well, it was Mrs Varian, who had gone down to the library.
nyp.33433076073893	She'll come dancing in, just as she used to do, say, Mrs Varian, why did she and her father squabble so? ” “ I ca n't explain it.
nyp.33433076073893	Should he go up there, or search the two lower stories first?
nyp.33433076073893	So we all went. ” “ All at once? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You went down the path that leads from the front door? ” “ There's no other way.
nyp.33433076073893	So we all went. ” “ All at once? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You went down the path that leads from the front door? ” “ There's no other way.
nyp.33433076073893	Surely she deserves it. ” “ And you do n't care? ” Betty asked, looking at him, wistfully.
nyp.33433076073893	Tell me where you think it is?
nyp.33433076073893	Tell me, do you think Mrs Varian went down stairs a second time last night? ” “ That she did not, ” asserted the nurse.
nyp.33433076073893	Tell me, where is my child?
nyp.33433076073893	The Vanishing of Betty Varian “ Can you form any theory, Doctor Varian? ” Landon asked him.
nyp.33433076073893	The kidnappers, if there are any — ” “ Why doubt their existence? ” “ “ Because I'm not at all sure that those ransom letters are genuine.
nyp.33433076073893	Then, oh, Lord, I do n't know what then They'll have to come back here, I suppose, what else can they do?
nyp.33433076073893	They're having a small picnic and they asked me to bring two amusing young men. ” “ May I go? ” asked Lawrence North.
nyp.33433076073893	They're quite all right, it's only that they're not picture mad, as we all are. ” “ Ignorant? ” “ Oh, no, not that.
nyp.33433076073893	To begin with, if Betty is closely confined, which she must be, if there's any truth at all in this matter, how could she get out to send a telegram?
nyp.33433076073893	Was she born in New York? ” “ No; at the time of her birth, we chanced to be spending a summer up in Vermont, up in the Green Mountains.
nyp.33433076073893	Was this strange man asking him to transfer his trusted errand to him?
nyp.33433076073893	Well, how about the doors and windows?
nyp.33433076073893	Were you in your room all night? ” “ Of course I was.
nyp.33433076073893	What about the green streak? ” “ Yes, ” the detective spoke to Rodney.
nyp.33433076073893	What about them? ” “ We found one of them in the middle of the kitchen floor.
nyp.33433076073893	What can be the trick they're trying to cut up?
nyp.33433076073893	What can you tell us?
nyp.33433076073893	What could be the explanation?
nyp.33433076073893	What do you do?
nyp.33433076073893	What does it — what can it mean?
nyp.33433076073893	What else can be said? ” “ Do n’t accuse a defenseless girl,'advised Varian.
nyp.33433076073893	What in the world can they want of you? ” “ No, I'll go.
nyp.33433076073893	What is any sum of money, even my whole fortune, against that? ” “ But it does n't surely mean getting her back.
nyp.33433076073893	When is it dated? ” “ That's the strange part, ” said Minna.
nyp.33433076073893	When will you take me? ” “ Tomorrow afternoon.
nyp.33433076073893	When you all went away, this afternoon, there was no sign of disturb- ance,—of anything unusual? ” “ Oh, no, sir.
nyp.33433076073893	Where are they? ” She had turned again to Wise as she put this question.
nyp.33433076073893	Where did you get them?
nyp.33433076073893	Where were you at this time, Kelly? ” “ In my own room, asleep, ” answered the butler.
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Betty? ” “ We do n't know, ” Claire spoke now.
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Betty? ” “ Who?
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Betty? ” “ Who?
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Dunn? ” “ He ’s coming, ” replied Potter, angry at the young man's indifference to his charge.
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Fred, I say? ” “ Here, ” was the brief reply, and Varian led her to her husband's body.
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Miss Betty, Hannah?
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Miss Betty? ” “ Where is she?
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Miss Betty? ” “ Where is she?
nyp.33433076073893	Where's Mrs Varian 2 What does she say? ” “ She's asleep.
nyp.33433076073893	Where's my child? ” Her voice rose to a shriek on the last words, and Doctor Varian took her by the arm, giving her his undivided attention.
nyp.33433076073893	Who did this thing? ” Doctor Merritt's formality gave way before his irrepressible curiosity.
nyp.33433076073893	Who else? ” “ Oh, let's tell him, ” North laughed; “ he can stand Headland Harbor I9 the shock.
nyp.33433076073893	Who's that? ” Zizi bent over the dead girl, whose body still lay on the kitchen floor.
nyp.33433076073893	Why call him when you're here? ” “ It's customary, I think.
nyp.33433076073893	Why dash every cup of joy from my lips?
nyp.33433076073893	Why did my brother leave them to my daughter instead of to Betty? ” “ Herbert, it's dreadful!
nyp.33433076073893	Why did n't that girl notice what the girl in the picture looked like?
nyp.33433076073893	Why did n't you say so? ” “ You did n't ask me.
nyp.33433076073893	Why did the Varians come here, where Rod is? ” “ I do n't suppose they knew it, though, maybe Betty did.
nyp.33433076073893	Why do n't they come? ” He gave a loud view- halloo, but only the echoes from the rocky heights answered him.
nyp.33433076073893	Why do n’t you take up the search for him, Mr Wise? ” “ I ’ve all I can do searching for Betty Varian, ” he returned with a rueful smile.
nyp.33433076073893	Why does n't Fred come?
nyp.33433076073893	Why for? ” “ Only because he's too fond of little Betty. ” “ Who is?
nyp.33433076073893	Why for? ” “ Only because he's too fond of little Betty. ” “ Who is?
nyp.33433076073893	Why is Betty not here?
nyp.33433076073893	Why should such a thing be? ” “ A yellow satin one,—embroidered. ” “ Off the hall sofy?
nyp.33433076073893	Why should such a thing be? ” “ A yellow satin one,—embroidered. ” “ Off the hall sofy?
nyp.33433076073893	Why should they harm my baby?
nyp.33433076073893	Why, Mrs Black- wood, have you any idea what we have ahead of us?
nyp.33433076073893	Why, yes, where is she?
nyp.33433076073893	Why? ” “ When you were there, did you notice a yellow sofa pillow out there? ” “ In the kitchen?

nyp.33433076073893	Will you take me in your boat?
nyp.33433076073893	Would n't he have done just what he did do?
nyp.33433076073893	Would she use the word “ implicitly ’? ” “ Why not? ” Minna stared at him.

nyp.33433076073893	Yet this I expect the most surely,–he will come himself. ” “ Have you no idea of his identity, Mr Wise? ” the doctor asked.
nyp.33433076073893	You do n't think it could in any way reflect on Mrs Varian? ” “ No, I do n't.
nyp.33433076073893	You do?
nyp.33433076073893	You know the sheriff? ” “ Yes; Potter.
nyp.33433076073893	You remember it? ” “ No, I do not, ” Mrs Briggs replied, but it was In Greenvale 245 “ And the doctors? ” “ There was but one.
nyp.33433076073893	You remember it? ” “ No, I do not, ” Mrs Briggs replied, but it was In Greenvale 245 “ And the doctors? ” “ There was but one.
nyp.33433076073893	You were entirely in his confi- dence, Mrs Varian? ”- “ Oh, yes; we had no secrets from one another.
nyp.33433076073893	You've called, have n't you? ” This from Ted Landon, who by reason of his sheer impudence was forgiven any unconventional- ity.
nyp.33433076073893	You've heard about the yellow pillow? ” “ No, ” said Wise.
nyp.33433076073893	and ‘ Well?'
nyp.33433076073893	it ca n't be-"“ Yes, he is, I'm almost certain,_I do n't think I'd better touch him, or, should I?
nyp.33433076073893	on me. ” “ And, I suppose you did n't abduct Miss Betty either? ” “ I did not! ” Granniss looked solemn.

nyp.33433076073893	what ails you?
nyp.33433076073893	“ All dried up; nothing down there but a muddy bottom and moss- grown stones. ” “ No stones missing? ” “ No; all solid and complete.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Almost top notch. ” “ Rise high?"
nyp.33433076073893	“ Also, what evidence have you for your suspicions? ” “ Come off, Potter, ” Bill Dunn warned him.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Any spook connected with its his- tory? ”- “ I never heard of any, ” said Mrs Blackwood.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Are they there now? ” “ No, they are not. ” “ Aha!
nyp.33433076073893	“ Betty's — I daresay? ” “ Yes, ” and Granniss looked at it.
nyp.33433076073893	“ But I ca n't see any clue in it, can you? ” “ Anything unusual may prove a clue, ” said Pot- ter, sententiously.
nyp.33433076073893	“ But how are you going to find her? ” asked Landon.
nyp.33433076073893	“ By whom? ” asked Doctor Varian.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Can I do anything for you? ” she asked her hostess at parting.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Can you tell us, Doctor Hasbrook, ” Wise asked, “ where we can find two nurses who were here twenty years ago?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Claire, ” he whispered, looking up at her with a white face, “ Claire, this man is dead. ” “ What?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Come, now, Mrs Varian, come along of Han- nah. ” “ Minna, where are you? ” Janet's frightened voice broke in upon them.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Did she wear a long string of them? ” “ No, miss, a fairly short string.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Do n’t make a secret of it, ” went on Granniss, “ own up now, who's been knocking poor little me? ” “ I, ” said Mrs Blackwood, coolly.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Doctor Varian, are you sure he's dead?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Everything and everybody that comes to this house has to come by this path? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Go on, what about the daughter? ” “ I have n't come to her yet.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Have you everything you want?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Have you searched the floor well for anything that may have been dropped? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076073893	“ He designed this bungalow we're in now. ” “ Are you an architect, Mr North? ” “ Not by profession, but I'm fond of it.
nyp.33433076073893	“ High tide, is n't it? ” asked Wise, as they went on beyond the headland, and then turned back again.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Hopped out of bed and ran down suddenly, did n't she? ” commented the strange girl.
nyp.33433076073893	“ How do you know? ” “ I ca n't go to sleep myself, you see, till Mrs Varian is asleep.
nyp.33433076073893	“ How old was she? ” “ About an hour or so, I think, ” Minna said, reminiscently.
nyp.33433076073893	“ I know the beads well, ” Granniss said, “ but how did they get in the kitchen? ” “ It may be a simple matter, ” Wise responded.
nyp.33433076073893	“ It is all of a piece, and it hinges on that bequest of the Varian pearls. ” “ Hinges on that? ” said Zizi.
nyp.33433076073893	“ It sounds plausible enough, ” he said, “ but how is it possible?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Looks promising, eh? ” Potter considered.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Marthal ” she exclaimed, though in a low Poor Martha I39 whisper, “ what are you doing here?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Merciful powers, however did she get down here?
nyp.33433076073893	“ No way out? ” queried the doctor, briefly.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Now, Hannah, tell me, did you find anywhere, any more of Miss Betty's beads? ” “ I found two, when I was sweepin'here one day.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Now, Mrs Varian, have you a really good safe? ” “ Yes, I have.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Oh Mrs Varian, ” he exclaimed, “ you do n't be- lieve it, do you?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Oh, Mr Potter, Rod- ney, what does it all mean? ” “ It will take a lot of clearing up, ma'am, before anybody can say what it means.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Oh, do n't go, Rod, ” Minna said; “ I ca n't get along without you,-and what good will it do?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Oh, ” she cried, to Hannah, “ are you the cook?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Paint? ” asked Hannah, not specially interested.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Shall we search the rooms? ” “ That must be done.
nyp.33433076073893	“ She would never dream of such a thing. ” “ What did she come down for, then? ” asked Potter.
nyp.33433076073893	“ The girl and her father on good terms? ” “ Yes, of course, ” Varian answered, but his slight hesitation made the sheriff eye him keenly.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Then who was it that Martha heard downstairs, that she went down a second time? ” “ Maybe she did n't hear anybody.
nyp.33433076073893	“ We ’re open to suggestion,-we're keen for any new clue or testimony, but where can we look for such?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Well, how did the kidnapper get in? ” “ Oh, Mr North! ” Wise threw up his hands.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What devil's work is going on here, any way? ” He went to the kitchen and knelt beside the dead girl.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What do you know about it? ” he asked the cook.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What do you suggest? ” “ I ca n't think, myself, ” and Wise looked non- plussed.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What does it all mean? ” asked the younger man, a look of absolute bewilderment on his face.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What does it mean? ” he asked, in an awed voice.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What is it, dear? ” Janet asked, seeing his aston- ishment.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What shoes were you wearing when you visited the safe last night, Mrs Varian? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076073893	“ What's the great idea? ” he called out, cheerily.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Whatcha doin'here? ” Mills continued.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Whatcha want? ” was his surly greeting.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Whatever is the matter? ” cried Fletcher, run- ning out to the hall in her night clothes.
nyp.33433076073893	“ When do you want to go? ” “ As soon as you can make it convenient.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Where do you come out? ” “ At all sorts of unexpected places.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Where was she, then? ” “ In her bed, last night after midnight.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Where's Frederick? ” she demanded, in a shrill voice as she came up the steps, “ and where's Betty?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Where's Frederick? ” she demanded, in a shrill voice as she came up the steps, “ and where's Betty?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Where's the butler? ” “ Here I am, ” and Kelly put in his appearance.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Where's your friend North?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Who did it? ” “ Who, indeed, sir? ” Hannah said, whimpering like a child.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Who did it? ” “ Who, indeed, sir? ” Hannah said, whimpering like a child.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Who saw this girl last? ” Potter thundered, glar- ing round at the assembled members of the house- hold.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Who should be there?
nyp.33433076073893	“ Who? ” For answer, Landon conducted him inside the hall, and in an instant Varian was on his knees beside the stricken man.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Why do you talk to her like that, Fred? ” “ Because I propose to have my own way for once!
nyp.33433076073893	“ With reservations? ” asked North.
nyp.33433076073893	“ Wo n't you spend the night here?
nyp.33433076073893	“ You do n't own the house? ” Wise asked.
nyp.33433076073893	“ You heard nothing of the goings on? ” “ No; my room is up in the third story, and I sleep very soundly. ” “ Humph!
nyp.33433076073893	“ You know of no one who had a hold over Mr Varian,—or thought he had, and who wrote him threatening letters? ” “ Most assuredly not!
nyp.33433076073893	“ You see, she's got to know, of course, she must be told at once,—and then, she'll have to look after Betty, — where is the child?
nyp.33433076073893	“ You want to get us into trouble? ” asked Mills, as he made a quick turn between two treacherous looking points of rock.
nyp.33433076073893	“ You're Fletcher, are n't you?
nyp.33433076073828	- “ I do n't say so, Carly, yet where else is there to look?
nyp.33433076073828	- “ Where was the paint- box? ” “ ’ Way back, on a cupboard shelf.
nyp.33433076073828	- “ You are a bit skeptical? ” she said, with a care- less glance at Shelby.
nyp.33433076073828	A man is naturally interested in his future son- in- law. ” “ Oh, it's gone as far as that, has it? ” “ Yes, but it's not announced yet.
nyp.33433076073828	After a silence a faint, low- pitched voice said, “ I am here. ” 2:* “ Are you Peter Crane? ” asked Zizi, who chose to be spokesman.
nyp.33433076073828	Am I right about this, Penny Wise? ” “ Yes, ” he said, smiling at her.
nyp.33433076073828	An in- valid mother, and a young sister, I think that's all. ” “ Well,—who should be notified?
nyp.33433076073828	And Christopher Shelby, he's an intimate chum. ” “ Crane, the man who wrote the book about his son's spirit? ” “ Yes, that one.
nyp.33433076073828	And as An Interview 233 How could communications from a dead man be received when the man was not dead?
nyp.33433076073828	And as he came down the steps of the Parlato 254 The Come Back “ My Lord, ” cried the puzzled Madame, “ who are you?
nyp.33433076073828	And if not, what was he, and what was he doing at the medium's house?
nyp.33433076073828	And then, turning to Carlotta, Peter said, “ And you thought I'd never come back? ” “ Peter, ” Carly said, “ I ’m an expert Ouija Boarder.
nyp.33433076073828	And who are you, anyway? ”, “ Heavens, what a tale!
nyp.33433076073828	And — Carly,–what do you think?
nyp.33433076073828	Are you responsible for Julie's affairs? ” “ Yes, in so far as I can help.
nyp.33433076073828	Are you sure? ” “ No, not sure — but attack by y?
nyp.33433076073828	Are you sure? ” “ No, not sure — but attack by y?
nyp.33433076073828	Ask him what name we used to call him by? ’ And, will you believe it?
nyp.33433076073828	Ask him what name we used to call him by? ’ And, will you believe it?
nyp.33433076073828	At last, Carly said, “ Peter, was Gilbert killed? ” I70 The Come Back “ Yes, ” came the quick reply.
nyp.33433076073828	At what time did you rise? ” “ About ten o'clock, ” was the short reply.
nyp.33433076073828	Blair, you know, he's — he's very ill —"“ Ill, sir?
nyp.33433076073828	But how can I be sure? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076073828	But say, have you seen the big movie? ” “ No; what is it? ” “ ‘ Labrador Luck, oh, say, it's a peach!
nyp.33433076073828	But say, have you seen the big movie? ” “ No; what is it? ” “ ‘ Labrador Luck, oh, say, it's a peach!
nyp.33433076073828	But the award will be made this month. ” “ And he's in a fair way to get it? ” “ Looks that way to me.
nyp.33433076073828	But this is a really big, fine production. ” “ Are you the producer? ” “ Yes; do n't tell it outside, yet.
nyp.33433076073828	But what could he say?
nyp.33433076073828	But when he gave out, no one looked backward. ” “ You had been trudging like that long? ” asked Crane.
nyp.33433076073828	But when the message was asked for, when Shelby said, “ Will he tell us how he died? ” there was a pause and the Board moved aimlessly about.
nyp.33433076073828	But, do you believe in this “ Gypsy's Warn- ing ’ about Peter?
nyp.33433076073828	But, tell me, what can I do?
nyp.33433076073828	Ca n't you get some- body to — to settle up his estate? ” “ If he has an estate to settle.
nyp.33433076073828	Ca n't you show a little heart? ” Hastings had never liked Thorpe, but had always been an admirer of Gilbert Blair.
nyp.33433076073828	Carly, dearest, why ca n't you say yes, now?
nyp.33433076073828	Carly, look me straight in the eyes and tell me you do n't care for either of them! ” “ Either of your eyes? ” “ Silly!
nyp.33433076073828	Could he be caught in a trap? ” “ Not hel he's used to them about.
nyp.33433076073828	Could he tell Carly first?
nyp.33433076073828	Did he know he was going to die? ” “ Oh, no, Mrs. Crane, ” Shelby assured her.
nyp.33433076073828	Did you fall down? ” “ I — I fell down, yes. ” “ In the Snowdrifts? ” “ Yes, the snow was so cold » “ But why could n't you get up?
nyp.33433076073828	Did you fall down? ” “ I — I fell down, yes. ” “ In the Snowdrifts? ” “ Yes, the snow was so cold » “ But why could n't you get up?
nyp.33433076073828	Did you fall down? ” “ I — I fell down, yes. ” “ In the Snowdrifts? ” “ Yes, the snow was so cold » “ But why could n't you get up?
nyp.33433076073828	Did you get any further details? ” “ No, ” said Crane; “ but, I learn, you have no further details yourselves.
nyp.33433076073828	Did you hear no disturbance? ” “ Not a bit, ” said Thorpe.
nyp.33433076073828	Do n't you admit any superior?
nyp.33433076073828	Do read some, and see if you can find anything in them — anything at all that is conclusive proof. ” “ Proof of what?
nyp.33433076073828	Do you mean that maybe we can go now, after all?
nyp.33433076073828	Do you recognize that de- scription?'
nyp.33433076073828	Do you see it as I do?
nyp.33433076073828	Do you suppose a chemist could discern any? ” “ Probably not, but we might make a try at it.
nyp.33433076073828	Do you think McClellan Thorpe is the guilty man? ” “ No!
nyp.33433076073828	Do you, Shelby? ” “ I do, ” Shelby replied, his eyes staring at the thing.
nyp.33433076073828	Does she, too, subscribe to all your theories? ” “ Almost entirely.
nyp.33433076073828	First, 225 226 The Come Back will you tell me your attitude, mental and spiritual, regarding the loss of your son?
nyp.33433076073828	For if they knew him to be alive he must take again his old place in the home — and then what would his father be?
nyp.33433076073828	Get a doctor? ” “ A doctor could n't help him, but yes, we ought to send for one.
nyp.33433076073828	Gilbert, what do you think of that medium the Cranes go to all the time? ” “ Absolute rubbish. ” “ I think that, too.
nyp.33433076073828	Had you had your break- fast? ” “ No; I tried to take some coffee, but I could n't. ” “ You will now, ” said the girl, decidedly.
nyp.33433076073828	Has he missed the track?
nyp.33433076073828	Has she told you to suspect Mr. Thorpe? ” “ Do n’t put it that way, ” Julie begged.
nyp.33433076073828	Have n't you read my book? ” “ Oh, I clean forgot that book you wrote, Mr. Crane.
nyp.33433076073828	Have you any idea how my book has been received?
nyp.33433076073828	Have you any suspect other than Thorpe? ” “ Why, sometimes, I think I have.
nyp.33433076073828	He could maintain a half- sitting posture, but what use?
nyp.33433076073828	He has done so, he is doing so — why should we grieve?
nyp.33433076073828	He must learn more facts — the facts he had al- ready discovered were so amazing, what else might not be in store for him?
nyp.33433076073828	He was xx “ Well? ” “ Oh, I knew at once who he was.
nyp.33433076073828	Her friends came often to beg The Tobacco Pouch I05 “ How do you know that? ” “ Peter told me, oh, we were confidential up there.
nyp.33433076073828	How about that? ” “ No, ” Doctor Middleton declared, “ it was n't laudanum poisoning.
nyp.33433076073828	How could any one know of it? ” “ True enough, ” and Blair shook his head, non- committally.
nyp.33433076073828	How did it get back here?
nyp.33433076073828	How get into Madame Parlato's possession?
nyp.33433076073828	How long do you suppose he has been gone?
nyp.33433076073828	How was it?
nyp.33433076073828	How would you like that? ” “ Not at all, oh, despot, oligarch, Grand Panjan- drum, or whatever you call yourself.
nyp.33433076073828	How — how much did they tell you? ” “ All, I suppose.
nyp.33433076073828	I did n't hear him, and I wanted to see him. ” “ And you did?
nyp.33433076073828	I do n't suppose you think yourself the cleverest in the world, do you?
nyp.33433076073828	I got things all wrong, did n't I?
nyp.33433076073828	I know, or at least I think I know, the explanation of that. ” “ You do?
nyp.33433076073828	I like him pretty well, but — ” “ But What? ” “ I ought n't to say it, but I do n't altogether trust him.
nyp.33433076073828	I mean he is n't, that is, he is n't himself. ” “ Are you sure you are? ” Zizi laughed outright, so infectiously, that Douglas joined in.
nyp.33433076073828	I mean the writer was disguising his own hand and imitating your brother's. ” “ How can you tell?
nyp.33433076073828	I mean use the Board with results that are surprising. ” “ Who ca n’t do that? ” “ Lots of people — myself, for one.
nyp.33433076073828	I mean, what are the circumstances? ” Investigation I35 “ Come on in- the police are here and the doc- tor.
nyp.33433076073828	I never had it in my possession. ” “ Who did kill Gilbert? ” “ I ’ve no idea, but I do n't think it was anybody we know.
nyp.33433076073828	I own up to being skeptical, is it too much to ask for some proof of your identity, Peter Crane?
nyp.33433076073828	I say, Blair, how did the lingo tally with the facts of Peter's death?
nyp.33433076073828	I suppose he would n't want to go to Labrador until that matter is settled? ” “ No, probably not.
nyp.33433076073828	I suppose there's no chance for letters? ” “ No; not after the first few days.
nyp.33433076073828	I went closer, and I saw by the look on his face that he was dead. ” “ You knew that at once?
nyp.33433076073828	I wish you'd do what's necessary. ” “ Ai n’t you a friend of his, sir?
nyp.33433076073828	I ’ve no confession to make, — I — I did n't kill Blair y?
nyp.33433076073828	I'd rather not tell the name, it was a lady — ” “ A medium? ” asked Shelby.
nyp.33433076073828	I've not much belief in that sort of thing, but, well, you know about occult matters, might it not be possible? ” Benjamin Crane was disappointed.
nyp.33433076073828	If anything comes of the drawings, it will be hers. ”- “ Can you get in touch with his family? ” asked Middleton.
nyp.33433076073828	In this case, I think we have the work of a man, but I ca n't be sure. ”- “ Who would do it, anyway? ” queried Mrs. Crane.
nyp.33433076073828	Is Julie at home, Mrs. Crane? ” The Prophecy Recalled 67 “ No; she's away for a few days.
nyp.33433076073828	Is Kit there? ” 92 The Come Back “ Ca n't you see me, Peter? ”, “ Not — not clearly.
nyp.33433076073828	Is Kit there? ” 92 The Come Back “ Ca n't you see me, Peter? ”, “ Not — not clearly.
nyp.33433076073828	It will run all summer and doubtless longer. ” “ And you do n't want me to tell of this? ” “ Not quite yet, Carly.
nyp.33433076073828	It would not have been impossible for some one to get into his room in the night-> “ And give him poison?
nyp.33433076073828	It's not known whether he took the poison himself or whether x* “ But how?
nyp.33433076073828	I’d — rather get out, any way. ” “ You and he chums? ” “ Yes; both architects.
nyp.33433076073828	Ma- terialization was easy enough for a charlatan, but, as had been said, where could she get the handker- chief to do the trick with?
nyp.33433076073828	Mad? ” “ Yes, ” she responded, but the one swift glance she gave him belied her words.
nyp.33433076073828	May I? ” “ When you come back, ” she said, and Peter waited.
nyp.33433076073828	Maybe acute indigestion, is he troubled that way? ”- “ With indigestion?
nyp.33433076073828	Maybe acute indigestion, is he troubled that way? ”- “ With indigestion?
nyp.33433076073828	Nobody could push with you watching, nor was there any reason why I should Did you? ” “ Of course not.
nyp.33433076073828	Nothing less than a very small bottle, without cork or label, but smelling unmistakably of prussic acid. ” “ Where was it? ” demanded Crane.
nyp.33433076073828	Now how'd they get that?
nyp.33433076073828	Now, Blairsy, if you're in thoughtful mood, let's go on with that plot we started yesterday. ” “ What plot? ” asked Shelby.
nyp.33433076073828	Now, are we engaged? ” “ No, Peter, not till you come back. ” “ But I want to kiss you, and I ca n't, I suppose, until we are engaged.
nyp.33433076073828	Now, let's begin with that note your daughter received from — ah, shall I say from your son? ” “ Of course, it was from my son.
nyp.33433076073828	Now, what are we going to do about it? ” “ Do about it?
nyp.33433076073828	Now, what are we going to do about it? ” “ Do about it?
nyp.33433076073828	Of continuity of existence?"
nyp.33433076073828	Oh, Helen, is n't it wonderful?
nyp.33433076073828	Oh, Peter, do n't go away until you tell us! ” “ Tell you — tell you — what? ” “ What killed you?
nyp.33433076073828	Oh, Peter, do n't go away until you tell us! ” “ Tell you — tell you — what? ” “ What killed you?
nyp.33433076073828	Oh, can I? ” “ Of course not!
nyp.33433076073828	Oh, he can do anything. ” “ Married man? ” “ No; but I ’ve heard he's engaged to a girl,-a Miss Harper, I believe. ” Peter choked.
nyp.33433076073828	Oh, wait a minute, let me take it in, let me think what it will mean — ” “ To father?
nyp.33433076073828	On account of your father? ” “ Yes, that's the sole reason.
nyp.33433076073828	Or would you rather not talk about it? ” “ I do n't mind talking about it at all.
nyp.33433076073828	Pretty queer thing about that tobacco pouch of Peter's, do n't you think? ” Blair looked up quickly.
nyp.33433076073828	Really? ” Blair's consternation was almost comic.
nyp.33433076073828	See here, Shelby, are you sure that man Joshua wrote the letter you got? ” “ Why, yes.
nyp.33433076073828	See you to- night at the dinner? ” “ Yes; get along now, and we'll meet there later. ” Blair looked anxious and preoccupied.
nyp.33433076073828	Send for him at once, will you?
nyp.33433076073828	Shall I telephone him? ” “ Yes; you'd better do so.
nyp.33433076073828	Shall I tell her, Peter? ” The Prophecy I3 “ Tell me, of course, ” and Miss Harper looked eagerly interested.
nyp.33433076073828	She's begun materializing things. ” “ What sort of things? ” “ I do n't know exactly.
nyp.33433076073828	Shelby is n't in my way, is he? ” “ I do n't know — he wants to be. ”- “ Of course he does!
nyp.33433076073828	Should he go away, out West, or to some distant place and start life anew, under an assumed name, and leave his father to his delusion?
nyp.33433076073828	So I died. ” “ Do you believe it? ” asked Carly, her big, brown eyes solemn and serious.
nyp.33433076073828	Still, I ca n't believe — ” “ Shall you go to the next séance? ” “ I have n't been asked.
nyp.33433076073828	Suddenly she opened her eyes: “ Who is talking? ” she said.
nyp.33433076073828	Take your hand off my hand. ” “ Lordy, ca n't I even touch your hand? ” “ Not with that ownership grasp!
nyp.33433076073828	That he was a client, she did not believe, for had she not seen him, rummaging in the Crane library and in that table drawer?
nyp.33433076073828	The last strawl But he might have known, he, himself, supposed dead, Blair dead, what more natural than that Carly should turn to Old Kit?
nyp.33433076073828	The ordinary sounds in the building, of course. ” “ And you stayed in your room, in your bed, — till morning? ”- “ Yes, I did.
nyp.33433076073828	The shock of finding Gilbert dead — ” “ Oh, Mr. Thorpe, did you make the discovery? ” exclaimed Carlotta.
nyp.33433076073828	Then I take it we're engaged? ” “ You take it nothing of the sort!
nyp.33433076073828	Then, they debated, should they go home, or wait till spring?
nyp.33433076073828	Then, what do you suggest? ” “ Anything, but that Peter brought it! ” Thorpe cried.
nyp.33433076073828	Then, “ Why, boys, ” she cried, “ when did you come home?
nyp.33433076073828	There is posi- tively no indication of any reason for it. ” “ A natural death, of course? ” Thorpe asked, jerkily.
nyp.33433076073828	They were like brothers. ” “ That's all right, but why did Thorpe run away?"
nyp.33433076073828	They were practically en- gaged. ” “ How'd you know? ” “ Peter told me, not in words, bless his heart!
nyp.33433076073828	Those girls of the far North are beautiful, I hear. ” “ An Eskimo with a nose ring?
nyp.33433076073828	Those rela- tives?
nyp.33433076073828	Want me to appear to you, too? ” “ Do n’t be so flippant, Son.
nyp.33433076073828	Want to quit? ” “ Quit!
nyp.33433076073828	Was that his duty?
nyp.33433076073828	Was there, Carly? ” “ Nothing definite, no. ” The girl spoke wearily, pushing back her thick mass of dark, wavy hair.
nyp.33433076073828	We touched on it now and then, but he usually veered off to something else at once. ” “ What do you think about the pouch, Shelby?
nyp.33433076073828	We'll be out of reach of mail very soon. ” “ And you're returning? ” “ I want to be home for Christmas.
nyp.33433076073828	We're all your friends, and we only want you »- “ Good heavens, Mr. Crane, why do you take that conciliatory attitude?
nyp.33433076073828	We're going home, are n't we?
nyp.33433076073828	We've been a pretty good sort, have n't we?
nyp.33433076073828	Were mate- rialized spirits really inhabiting the place?
nyp.33433076073828	What can I do? ” “ She would go with you, into a new life —"“ No; do n't be absurd!
nyp.33433076073828	What do you mean, Mr. Thorpe? ” “ Nothing to make you look like that.
nyp.33433076073828	What do you mean? ” “ Just what I say.
nyp.33433076073828	What do you say, Mother? ” Mrs. Crane looked up.
nyp.33433076073828	What do you want it for? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076073828	What happened to you?
nyp.33433076073828	What is it, dear? ” he begged.
nyp.33433076073828	What more can I say? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433076073828	What say, Thorpe? ” It was a test question, and Crane eagerly awaited the answer.
nyp.33433076073828	What shall I ask him? ” “ Now, I'm canny, you know, and I said, ‘ Make sure of his identity first.
nyp.33433076073828	What sort of talk is that?
nyp.33433076073828	What was it?
nyp.33433076073828	What was she doing in his father's house?
nyp.33433076073828	What would he do that for? ” “ Hush, ” with a glance toward Thorpe's closed door, “ never mind now.
nyp.33433076073828	What's he up to? ” “ He did n't confide in me, but I know.
nyp.33433076073828	What's the answer, ex- cept that Thorpe washed it and put it away?
nyp.33433076073828	What's the matter? ” “ Nothing, and I'm not. ” “ Oh, yes, you are, ” Knight went on.
nyp.33433076073828	When I hear my son's voice — ” “ Do you recognize his voice? ” asked Zizi.
nyp.33433076073828	When can you get Wise back here?
nyp.33433076073828	When do you expect Mr. Crane again? ” “ To- morrow. ” “ All right.
nyp.33433076073828	Where are his people? ” “ ’ Way out West.
nyp.33433076073828	Where are they?
nyp.33433076073828	Where would he stay? ” asked the Examiner.
nyp.33433076073828	Where'd be the fun if we cheated?
nyp.33433076073828	Where'd she get the dope to fool the old folks?
nyp.33433076073828	Where's Peter? ” To the others'relief Benjamin Crane told his wife of their mutual loss.
nyp.33433076073828	Who are his friends? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076073828	Who did? ” “ Hush up, ” said Blair, determinedly.
nyp.33433076073828	Who else had any motive at all? ” “ That's what we have to find out.
nyp.33433076073828	Who else knew of his death?
nyp.33433076073828	Who or what was this sprite, this Brownie?
nyp.33433076073828	Who rescued you?
nyp.33433076073828	Who said so? ” “ Kit told me;—tell them about it, I ca n't. ” So Shelby told them.
nyp.33433076073828	Who, sir? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076073828	Why are you keeping it secret?
nyp.33433076073828	Why do you think anybody killed him? ” “ Why do you? ” countered Thorpe, turning an angry glance at the detective.
nyp.33433076073828	Why do you think anybody killed him? ” “ Why do you? ” countered Thorpe, turning an angry glance at the detective.
nyp.33433076073828	Why do you think that man is my accom- plice?
nyp.33433076073828	Why not lie down flat and get it over quickly?
nyp.33433076073828	Why should Carly do such a thing? ” “ Oh, she's got the fad.
nyp.33433076073828	Why should I, among Peter's friends?
nyp.33433076073828	Why should she do that, if she had assisted at the Crane séances?
nyp.33433076073828	Why, Penny, he's a gentleman. ” “ But who is he?
nyp.33433076073828	Will you take charge? ” “ Oh, I ca n't! ” Thorpe spoke shrinkingly.
nyp.33433076073828	Will you, can you give some ma- terial proof? ”- “ It is not easy. ” “ I ’m sorry for that, but, oh, I do so want to be!
nyp.33433076073828	Will you? ” “ Certainly, if you like.
nyp.33433076073828	Wonder how it all came about? ” Then he realized how long he'd been away from Blair.
nyp.33433076073828	Yes, I'll tell you every- thing, but what shall I fly at first?
nyp.33433076073828	You can not think my wife or I would misstate what happened, can you?
nyp.33433076073828	You do know, do n't you, Peter? ” 280 The Come Back and instantaneously that it was her son, alive and found.
nyp.33433076073828	You just have to-"“ Well, to what? ” asked Blair, as Peter paused.
nyp.33433076073828	You may or may not know, this son of Mr. Crane's was one of my closest friends, and y?
nyp.33433076073828	You promise to say it then? ” “ Well, I do n't say how soon after. ”- “ I ’ll decide on the soonness.
nyp.33433076073828	You promise, too? ” Strange Revelations 99 “ Yes, indeed.
nyp.33433076073828	You see, Blair was in the habit of taking these things 25 “ How do you know? ” “ Carlotta Harper told me.
nyp.33433076073828	You see, this trip is not the fatal one — ” “ How do you know? ” from Julie.
nyp.33433076073828	You're just making believe, you're what do you call it?
nyp.33433076073828	You've read my book? ” “ Yes, Mr. Crane, and an able, well written work it is.
nyp.33433076073828	an you and he work in harmony? ” “ Oh, yes, I'm not pig- headed.
nyp.33433076073828	and when? ” “ Oh, it was years ago, ” Julie began, “ we met a lot of gypsies, and mother would have them tell the family fortunes.
nyp.33433076073828	asked an interested voice, “ letters? ”\- The speaker was McClellan Thorpe, a friend of Blair's, who shared a studio with him.
nyp.33433076073828	how goes it? ” Still no return call, and Blair called to those ahead.
nyp.33433076073828	k “ You're all interested, are you not? ” he went on, turning to the various attentive faces, and receiving Cºnods and words of assent.
nyp.33433076073828	what am I going to do first? ” Followed a long time of thought.
nyp.33433076073828	who, Peter? ” “ Must I say the name? ” “ Yes, boy.
nyp.33433076073828	who, Peter? ” “ Must I say the name? ” “ Yes, boy.
nyp.33433076073828	“ And Miss Harper, how is she? ” asked Blair, who had been longing to put the question for some time.
nyp.33433076073828	“ And then? ” “ Then I bathed, shaved and dressed just as usual.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Any good plays on? ” he asked the news- stand girl, and his winning smile brought a chatty re- sponse.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Are you still there, Peter? ” asked his father, who was not at all pleased with the presence of Shelby.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Are you sure it's not a stroke? ”\ “ He ’s too young for a stroke.
nyp.33433076073828	“ But are they I34 The Come Back sure it was poison?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Can I help? ” Carly asked, with a loving glance at her friend.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Can I help? ” he said, simply, and Louis Bartram told him he could.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Did you see anything? ” she asked, in an ex- hausted, harassed way, yet with an air of eagerness.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Do n’t you know? ” Carlotta demanded of Peter's “ spirit, ” which obligingly announced its presence when requested.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Do you know who killed him? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who was it? ” Carly shot out the question quickly, and immedi.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Do you know who killed him? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who was it? ” Carly shot out the question quickly, and immedi.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Go on?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Going to say yes before I go, Carly, or after I come back? ” “ After you come back, ” was the prompt response.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Had enough? ” asked Peter, smiling.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Have you noticed any fearful dangers, that you apprehend non- survival of them? ” The Labrador Wild 33 “ No; but 29 “ But nothing!
nyp.33433076073828	“ Have you seen him — or I mean, is he with you — in spirit? ” “ Yes, ” came the answer.
nyp.33433076073828	“ He ’s surely dead. ” “ Well, do something, ” Thorpe said; “ what's the thing to do?
nyp.33433076073828	“ How can a sensible, otherwise well- balanced man like Benjamin Crane fall for that fake? ” he ex- claimed.
nyp.33433076073828	“ How could she? ” returned Crane, “ we have no mutual friends.
nyp.33433076073828	“ How could such a thing happen? ” “ I do n't know how it could, but it did, ” Julie said, doggedly.
nyp.33433076073828	“ How could that be, sir? ” “ It was materialized by my son, Peter, ” Crane returned, looking at Thorpe, calmly.
nyp.33433076073828	“ How did it get down here? ” “ I offer no explanation, save the true one, ” Ben- jamin Crane said, seriously.
nyp.33433076073828	“ How did it happen? ” The Labrador Wild 35 a “ Dunno.
nyp.33433076073828	“ I did n't kill Blair, at least, I do n't think I did. ” “ What does that mean? ” Crane asked.
nyp.33433076073828	“ I do 1-like you, Peter, better than any man I know » y “ Better than Kit Shelby? ” “ Yes. ”- “ Better than Gil Blair? ” “ Yes. ”.
nyp.33433076073828	“ I do 1-like you, Peter, better than any man I know » y “ Better than Kit Shelby? ” “ Yes. ”- “ Better than Gil Blair? ” “ Yes. ”.
nyp.33433076073828	“ I wish I could help, ” she found herself saying, I80 The Come Back “ You do n't think he killed Gilbert, then? ” “ Oh, Lord, no!
nyp.33433076073828	“ I ’ll go now, please. ” “ Without further explanation? ” “ Yes, please. ” – “ All right, I ’ll let you out.
nyp.33433076073828	“ If I were a poet, ” Blair said, “ I ’d quote poetry about now. ” “ Your own, for choice? ” asked Shelby, casually.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Is it always like this? ” For Julie had never attended a séance before.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Is it of a peculiar shape or style? ” “ No; just a common, ordinary two- ounce bottle, such as most druggists use all the time.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Is she engaged to Shelby? ” “ No, she is n't! ” “ I heard she was. ” “ Probably he hinted it, and the report started.
nyp.33433076073828	“ It's in Peter's own writing! ” she said; “ what can it mean? ” “ It means fraud! ” Julie exclaimed.
nyp.33433076073828	“ May I come to see you again, soon,_and talk over the matters of Peter's things, which, of course, we brought home?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Might it not have been Mr. Thorpe's? ” “ How you hark back to Thorpe! ” exclaimed Crane, with real petulance.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Never mind seeing me, Peter, but do tell me this: What happened to you? ” “ When? ” asked the voice, with a far- away, fad- ing sound.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Never mind seeing me, Peter, but do tell me this: What happened to you? ” “ When? ” asked the voice, with a far- away, fad- ing sound.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Of course, we pay Madame Parlato for her time — why should we not?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Only that if I did do it, it was unconsciously. ” “ In your sleep? ” “ No; but under hypnotism.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Peter, have you a message for us? ” Carly asked, again using that calm, uninflected tone.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Probably at his Club. ” Investigation I43 “ Which Club?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Queer, is n't it? ” 34 The Come Back Queer it surely was, and more so, as time went by and they could find no trace of their guide.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Shall we go on? ” asked Carly, in a half whisper.
nyp.33433076073828	“ That's Peter! ” cried Julie, excitedly, “ oh, father, is it? ” “ Hush, dear, ” her father said, himself greatly agitated.
nyp.33433076073828	“ They told you that?"
nyp.33433076073828	“ This is Miss? ” Julie looked inquiringly at the girl she was about to introduce to Carlotta, re- membering she did n't know her last name.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Well, then, ” Zizi said, her thin, dark fingers merely touching the little wooden heart, “ who did? ” There was no reply.
nyp.33433076073828	“ What can I do? ” “ Only advise.
nyp.33433076073828	“ What do you think most about, when you think of home? ” asked Blair, idly.
nyp.33433076073828	“ What does Julie think about the messages? ” asked Blair, thoughtfully.
nyp.33433076073828	“ What happened?
nyp.33433076073828	“ What is it, Carly?
nyp.33433076073828	“ What is it? ” he whispered, in a shaking voice.
nyp.33433076073828	“ What sort of an obstacle? ” asked Crane.
nyp.33433076073828	“ What was it, now? ” “ A prophecy that Peter would go on a long journey, and would meet with a terrible death.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Where did you get them? ” “ From the son, ” replied Louis Bartram; “ but re- member you are under oath of secrecy.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Where's my boy?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Who Investigation I45 even hinted that you killed Mr. Blair?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Who are you? ” she asked, scarce breathing the words.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Who is that medium person?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Who prophesied what?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Who ’s the man? ” “ I think his name is Wise, good name for a detective! ” “ Never heard of him.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Who's this Shelby? ” “ He ’s the big push of to- day, ” was the enthusi- An Interview 235 astic reply.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Why do you say that? ” cried Weston.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Why not? ” said Shelby, seriously.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Why should he?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Will you tell us who killed you? ” Carly asked at once, fearing lest he go away.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Yes, dad, it was. ” “ Well, who?
nyp.33433076073828	“ Yes, he told us that. ” “ Then how can you have any doubt of it? ” “ Spirits do not know everything.
nyp.33433076073828	“ Yes, ” Blair agreed, “ to a certain point> y “ Freezing point? ” “ I guess that's right!
nyp.33433076073828	“ Yet, why stay? ” “ It's right to go, ” Blair said, gravely.
nyp.33433076073828	“ You did n't push, Kit? ” Carly asked, but more from force of habit than any doubt of him.
nyp.33433076073828	“ You do believe in these things, do n't you? ” Mrs. Crane asked, and, being thus confronted, Zizi had to answer directly.
nyp.33433076073828	“ You think it is n't from my brother? ” “ I know it is n't.
nyp.33433076073828	“ You want a séance? ” the occult lady inquired.
nyp.33433076073828	“ You're responsible in cases of emergency “ Me responsible, sir?
nyp.33433076090285	************** śāj T H E M A E L S T R O M “ And if I do? ” she interpolated quickly.
nyp.33433076090285	, If he was arrested for the killing where do the rest of'em stand? ” He answered his own question.
nyp.33433076090285	- “ Well? ” she demanded with some asperity and an unnecessary loudness.
nyp.33433076090285	. ” “ Errol's writing? ” queried Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	. ” “ What address? ” asked Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	22 “ Me?
nyp.33433076090285	After all I guess you ’ll search this house, and you ’ll be bound to find him. ” “ He ’s here? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433076090285	All I know is that it ’s a big thing. ” “ Do you know a Miss Olney — Miss Lucy Olney? ” Cincinnati shook his head.
nyp.33433076090285	And I suppose you got your references from him? ” “ That ’s so.
nyp.33433076090285	And why should she have so impulsively confided them to a stranger to avoid them falling into the hands of her headlong pursuer?
nyp.33433076090285	Anyone about? ” Only the muffled reverberation of his own voice came back to him.
nyp.33433076090285	Anything fresh, Royal? ” The man at the other end of the wire seemed to Jimmie to be intolerably loquacious.
nyp.33433076090285	Anyway, why should he get Errol up there and send for Miss Greye- Stratton to nurse him?
nyp.33433076090285	Are you afraid? ” she taunted.
nyp.33433076090285	Besides, how should he judge that Pe — Miss Greye- Stratton would write to me? ” “ Much too far- fetched, ” agreed the other man drily.
nyp.33433076090285	By the way, did you ever pass the Civil Service examination for inspector? ” Royal ’s face glowed.
nyp.33433076090285	By the way, how is Miss Greye- Stratton? ” “ As fit as could be expected, all things considered.
nyp.33433076090285	Did Gwennie know or guess that the place was surrounded?
nyp.33433076090285	Did she think that this was merely a reconnoitring ex- pedition or a reconnaissance in force?

nyp.33433076090285	Do ye want to meet that magistrate again or is your cellar full now?"
nyp.33433076090285	Do you follow me, sir? ” “ That's plain — and plausible as far as it goes, ” said Sir Hilary.
nyp.33433076090285	Do you know why? ” The other shook his head, although he had a very good idea what Menzies was going to say.
nyp.33433076090285	Do you mind if I order breakfast? ” Menzies smiled as he shook his head.
nyp.33433076090285	Do you play piquet, Mr. Royal? ”[ 2081 CHAPTER xxII UNLEss circumstances dictated haste Weir Menzies was never in a hurry.
nyp.33433076090285	Do you think?
nyp.33433076090285	Do you understand how it works? ” He explained the mechanism to her.
nyp.33433076090285	Do you[ 225 J T H E M A E L S T R O M think any of those people would recognise you again? ” The doctor was doubtful.
nyp.33433076090285	Does she admit passing the cheques? ” Menzies shook a forefinger blandly at the young man.
nyp.33433076090285	Does the man who was in the fog, does the man who was in the house, know that Hallett never saw his features?
nyp.33433076090285	Exactly what reason is there that I should trust you? ” He spoke brutally.
nyp.33433076090285	Feel you'd like to have a walk about now?
nyp.33433076090285	Feeling better?
nyp.33433076090285	Five years you got in Paris, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076090285	Going to threaten to arrest her as you did me? ” The detective cocked a moody eye at him.
nyp.33433076090285	Got it mapped out? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433076090285	Got that?
nyp.33433076090285	Got your man? ” The other made a motion of his hand deprecatory of badinage.
nyp.33433076090285	Had Menzies any suspicion against her?
nyp.33433076090285	Had n’t you now? ” In point of fact Menzies had no knowledge as to whether Rufe was being treated fairly or not by his confederates.
nyp.33433076090285	Hallett, I presume — or Mr. Green, from Mobile? ” The girl gasped.
nyp.33433076090285	Hallett? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433076090285	Have you arrested him? ” Menzies met his chief ’s gaze steadily.
nyp.33433076090285	He put up a plant on you and you both fell into it. ” “ Yes, sir. ”* “ Did you arrest him? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076090285	He rang for the lift. ” “ Did n’t say anything? ” “ Not to me.
nyp.33433076090285	He signed my father ’s name to some cheques. ” “ He committed forgery? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076090285	He would n’t have risked his neck had there been any other way. ”- “ He got away, then? ” said the sergeant.
nyp.33433076090285	He ’s got good credentials, and if he's mixed up with the murder, why did he'phone to me? ” “ Search me, ” said Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	He ’s got the craving in his blood, has he?
nyp.33433076090285	He ’s some nervy is Ling. ” “ You mean that Ling walked right through our men without being held up? ” “ Sure.
nyp.33433076090285	Hello, is that you, Congreve?
nyp.33433076090285	Hello, what ’s this? ” He held up his left hand.
nyp.33433076090285	Here ’s the mob of you go out for a hatful and when you miss your jump who gets left behind?
nyp.33433076090285	Here, let me give you a hand? ” Supported by the chief inspector, Hallett took two or three uncertain steps.
nyp.33433076090285	Hope I have n’t kept you waiting long? ” “ Only a matter of a couple of hours, ” said Jimmie.
nyp.33433076090285	How are you?
nyp.33433076090285	How can I put my hands up?
nyp.33433076090285	How could I?
nyp.33433076090285	How did it go? ” Menzies dropped to rest at the foot of the bed.
nyp.33433076090285	How did you learn? ” He could hear her breath catch as she waited for his reply.
nyp.33433076090285	How do they know? ” A soft gloved hand lay on his knee where she had placed it unconsciously in her eagerness.
nyp.33433076090285	How do you figure it all out generally? ” “ Well, ” Menzies rubbed his chin meditatively.
nyp.33433076090285	How do you know one of'em ai n’t died? ” “ It was none of my business, ” protested Steingurt.
nyp.33433076090285	How ’d it come about, anyway?
nyp.33433076090285	I ca n’t help that, can I?
nyp.33433076090285	I ca n’t make you give your- self away, Rufe, can I? ” He shook a menacing fore- finger.
nyp.33433076090285	I do n’t know if Mr. Menzies has said anything to you about my brother? ” She flashed the question at him suddenly.
nyp.33433076090285	I have had some ex- perience in San Francisco. ” “ You think you can get us in if I find the joint?
nyp.33433076090285	I seem to be an embarrass- ment — though I do n’t know why. ” “ You are an embarrassment. ” “ Why? ” repeated Jimmie artlessly.
nyp.33433076090285	I suppose you are sure* — he addressed the girl — “ that Errol really was wounded?
nyp.33433076090285	I told her I should probably be bringing you home to dinner. ” “ Things been all right today?
nyp.33433076090285	I was n’t sure. ” “ Was n't sure that I knew you as the girl in the fog? ”-- “ Yes.
nyp.33433076090285	I wo n't ask questions, though — eh? ” “ I might want you as an expert witness, ” explained the detective.
nyp.33433076090285	I'd bet any money if I was a betting man that you never had any suspicion of Mrs. Buttle being anything but what she was made up to be?
nyp.33433076090285	If I ’ve only known her for a few hours, I guess I ’m a better judge of her type than you. ” w “ Bearings a bit hot, eh? ” smiled Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	If anyone saw me get- ting around with a couple of police officers where would I be? ” He spread his hands in protest.
nyp.33433076090285	If you see him again you not tell — eh?
nyp.33433076090285	In fact I have it here. ” “ Hallett? ” ejaculated Foyle with a lift of his eye- brows.
nyp.33433076090285	Is that man here still? ” “ Yes, in the back loom.
nyp.33433076090285	Is that the Yard?
nyp.33433076090285	Is there anything else?
nyp.33433076090285	It has been a relief? ” — she sighed—“to tell anyone. ” Jimmie was silenced.
nyp.33433076090285	It was at the back of his mind that he might have a charge “ loitering with intent to commit a felony. ” “ What's the game, Isaacstein?
nyp.33433076090285	It was n’t just a frame- up? ” “ I ’ll answer that he was a very sick man when I saw him, ” said Jimmie.
nyp.33433076090285	Known him long? ” “ Some years, ” said Cincinnati.
nyp.33433076090285	Ling? ” asked Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	Lord! ” he burst out, “ what game were you playing last night?
nyp.33433076090285	Lucky I ’m an indulgent husband, eh, Peggy? ” His voice changed.
nyp.33433076090285	Much hurt?
nyp.33433076090285	Naw, that do n’t touch me! ”- “ None of your regulars hit the pipe, then?
nyp.33433076090285	No hitches of any kind? ” “ One or two little points, ” admitted the chief in- spector.
nyp.33433076090285	Not even for my brother could I do more. ” “ This was before the death of your father? ”&&.
nyp.33433076090285	Now about things in general? ” “ I was just thinking it out, ” said Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	Now do you know a Captain Hayward from a Caroline Testout? ”[ 339| CHAPTER XXXIV TRULY, as he had said, this was Menzies ’ busy day.
nyp.33433076090285	Now why do n’t you be reasonable, Mr. Smith? ’ ”- “ Pah! ” interrupted the prisoner.
nyp.33433076090285	Oh, gone out, is he?
nyp.33433076090285	Perhaps your friend Errol will be able to enlighten us. ” “ Errol? ” said Smith blankly.
nyp.33433076090285	Savvy? ” “ That ’s all right, ” said Cincinnati.
nyp.33433076090285	Say, chief, you ought to see her — she ’s a peacherino 33 “ Are n’t you wasting time? ” said Menzies acidly.
nyp.33433076090285	Say, if it ’s not giving away secrets, how did Scotland Yard get on to the address? ” Menzies postponed his rummaging for the moment.
nyp.33433076090285	Seen the Evening Comet?
nyp.33433076090285	Shall I make out my report in the morning, sir? ” Menzies nodded complacently and let a hand drop gently on his subordinate's shoulder.
nyp.33433076090285	Shall we walk on?
nyp.33433076090285	She ’s a regular little spit- cat, is n’t she? ” A room to room search of the house satisfied Menzies that it was empty save for themselves.
nyp.33433076090285	She- ” “ Where does she live? ” “ Her boss, he ’s got a little cigar factory down Com- mercial Road.
nyp.33433076090285	Slip Hallett? ” repeated Cincinnati.
nyp.33433076090285	So she talked, did she?
nyp.33433076090285	Tell me everything your own way, and if any question occurs to me I ’ll ask it. ”[ 264) T H E M A E L S T R O M it?
nyp.33433076090285	That ’s fair, and it is n’t everyone who would do it. ” “ You want to get me out of the way? ” “ That's so.
nyp.33433076090285	That ’s the kind of man who's the husband of Miss Greye- Stratton. ” “ How did you find this out? ” Menzies puffed reflectively.
nyp.33433076090285	The price you paid was — mar- riage? ” “ That was part of the price.
nyp.33433076090285	Then again — you remember that note she sent calling you over to Brixton? ” “ Well! ” said Jimmie.
nyp.33433076090285	There ’ll be no harm in telling them you ’re in a very critical condition, sir, I suppose? ” “ Not in the least.
nyp.33433076090285	These are on the same bank as Greye- Stratton ’s. ”- “ Same cheques? ” asked Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	They were using you to pull the chestnuts out of the fire, but do you reckon you ’d have been in at the share- out?
nyp.33433076090285	They would have let him take his own risk? ” “ You get it, ” said Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	Think you ’re up to telling him what has happened?
nyp.33433076090285	This house — this neighbourhood — why how can a child like you stay here alone?
nyp.33433076090285	Understand? ” “ Well? ” said Hallett quietly.
nyp.33433076090285	Understand? ” “ Well? ” said Hallett quietly.
nyp.33433076090285	Was it Ling?
nyp.33433076090285	Was it only to pro- tect him that Miss Greye- Stratton was keeping her mouth — and yours — shut? ” Jimmie lifted his shoulders.
nyp.33433076090285	Was n’t an order of deportation made against you — let me see — six years ago now?
nyp.33433076090285	Was that you? ” “ It was I, ” she admitted.
nyp.33433076090285	Was this a trap?
nyp.33433076090285	We — ” “ Then you ’ve lost the girl? ” He smacked an angry fist down on the table.
nyp.33433076090285	We ’re new customers of yours, see?
nyp.33433076090285	Well, shall we consider it settled?
nyp.33433076090285	Well, why did n’t he- or they? ” “ That ’s what I want to ask the lady.
nyp.33433076090285	What are they going to do?
nyp.33433076090285	What are you doing with Hallett?
nyp.33433076090285	What are you going to do about it? ” “ Mind if I smoke? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	What are you going to do about it? ” “ Mind if I smoke? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	What are you hang- ing around for? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	What busi- ness is it of yours anyway?
nyp.33433076090285	What chance would I stand walking into a wasps'nest like that?
nyp.33433076090285	What did she say? ” The young man was not to be caught off guard a second time.
nyp.33433076090285	What do you make of it? ” “ Empty house, likely, ” said Congreve laconically.
nyp.33433076090285	What do you reckon you ’re holdin ’ me for, huh? ” “ Persecuting a poor down- trodden American citizen again, Rufe, eh? ” commented Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	What do you reckon you ’re holdin ’ me for, huh? ” “ Persecuting a poor down- trodden American citizen again, Rufe, eh? ” commented Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	What do you want? ” A prolonged buzz reached him.
nyp.33433076090285	What fire- man ’s this?
nyp.33433076090285	What kind of suckers do you take us for to swallow that?
nyp.33433076090285	What should I stand to gain, anyway?
nyp.33433076090285	What the blazes is a taxi doing in this quarter at this time of night? ” A taxi- cab whizzed by them in the direction from which they had come.
nyp.33433076090285	What time will you be off duty to- morrow? ” The glance the chief inspector shot at him had a mixture of questioning and amusement.
nyp.33433076090285	What ’s the trouble? ”[ 68) T H E M A E L S T R O M- “ I got this from Hallett, sir.
nyp.33433076090285	What's he been doing?
nyp.33433076090285	What's wrong? ” His subordinate jerked a thumb towards the door.
nyp.33433076090285	What's your name, my man? ” He shook his captive slightly.
nyp.33433076090285	Where are we going? ” “ I told the man to drive to the Monument.

nyp.33433076090285	Where did you get all this from?"
nyp.33433076090285	Where did you leave that woman?
nyp.33433076090285	Where do I come in if I put you wise? ”- “ I get ’em anyway, ” answered Menzies indifferently.
nyp.33433076090285	Where do you want to go?
nyp.33433076090285	Where is he gone? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076090285	Where is he? ” “ I do n’t know where he is.
nyp.33433076090285	Where is she now? ” Hallett lay back in bed and laughed.
nyp.33433076090285	Where ’s Gordon? ” “ Down below, sir.
nyp.33433076090285	Where ’s that tenner? ” Menzies put the money into his hand and moved swiftly to where Hallett and Royal awaited him.
nyp.33433076090285	Where ’s the other room you spoke of?
nyp.33433076090285	Where's Ling and the others lay- ing up? ” Rufe blinked several times in succession.
nyp.33433076090285	Where's Royal? ” “ Dry nursing Hallett in the ‘ Three.
nyp.33433076090285	Where's he gone? ” Jimmie felt an eerie sensation along his scalp.
nyp.33433076090285	Which way you going, Hallett? ” “ Back to the hotel.
nyp.33433076090285	Who are you?
nyp.33433076090285	Who is he? ” “ His name is Errol, ” said Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	Who is it?
nyp.33433076090285	Who is she?
nyp.33433076090285	Who was asleep?
nyp.33433076090285	Who was “ William Smith ”?

nyp.33433076090285	Why did n't you tell me before?
nyp.33433076090285	Why did n’t you denounce me? ” Jimmie twiddled his walking- stick.
nyp.33433076090285	Why did you bring him here?
nyp.33433076090285	Why did you do it?
nyp.33433076090285	Why do n’t you tell me straight what you ’re driving at, Mr. Menzies?
nyp.33433076090285	Why do you ask? ” “ Oh, nothing. ” Jimmie was a trifle confused.
nyp.33433076090285	Why had he threatened Hallett, and even gone so far as to try to carry his threat into execution?
nyp.33433076090285	Why had you married?
nyp.33433076090285	Why on earth should the girl have been running away with the useless cheques?
nyp.33433076090285	Why should I gif up a night ’s rest for nothing?
nyp.33433076090285	Why should he go out of his way to do you a favour? ” Cincinnati shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433076090285	Why should he need a doctor, anyway?
nyp.33433076090285	Why should you deny that you had passed the cheques over?
nyp.33433076090285	Why should you have held back any- thing when we had a chat?
nyp.33433076090285	Will that improve matters? ” A fit of shivering shook her and she covered her face with her hands.
nyp.33433076090285	Will you come in? ” Jimmie passed into the narrow little hall and the door shut.
nyp.33433076090285	Will you come with me?
nyp.33433076090285	Will you sit tight? ” “ I ’ll be as good as gold, ” she promised, a demure half smile still lurking about her lips.
nyp.33433076090285	Will you take it or leave it? ” Hallett's concealed hand waved frantically.
nyp.33433076090285	Would she have been arrested on suspicion?
nyp.33433076090285	Would she never understand?
nyp.33433076090285	Would you care to call on the house and see who's there?
nyp.33433076090285	Would you have me desert him?
nyp.33433076090285	Yes. ” “ Then it was Ling who knew he had committed forgery?
nyp.33433076090285	You did n’t expect to find her in Tim Donovan's kip, did you?
nyp.33433076090285	You follow me?

nyp.33433076090285	You will not tell them? ” Hallett shook himself free angrily.
nyp.33433076090285	You would know him again? ” The man did not wait for an answer.
nyp.33433076090285	You ’re Sing Loo, ai n’t you?

nyp.33433076090285	You ’re not proposing to put her under — under any re- straint? ” A little flash of temper showed in the chief inspector ’s face.
nyp.33433076090285	You ’ve got to shake your head to them — see?
nyp.33433076090285	[ 87 J T H E M A E L S T R O M “ All correct, eh? ” said Menzies.

nyp.33433076090285	“ A police matron? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433076090285	“ And the police, ” her words came incisively, “ they know?"
nyp.33433076090285	“ Any newspaper men there, Green?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Any objections? ” he asked.

nyp.33433076090285	“ But they ’re in it as bad as me, ai n’t they, chief? ” He shot a cunning glance at Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	“ But, as Miss Greye- Stratton says, why a police matron?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Ca n’t you see that he had to make certain before running a raid?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Can I come in now? ” She laughed.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Can you make anything of it, Menzies? ” The chief inspector was gnawing his moustache — a sure sign of bewilderment with him.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Could you recognise any of the people you saw again, Mr. Hallett?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Depot, sir? ” he repeated, puzzled.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Did you ever hear how they used to treat witches in the old days in Massachusetts?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Did you ever meet Ling's wife? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Did you find who lives there? ” questioned the chief inspector.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Do n’t you remember me?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Do you happen to have any? ” “ I think there ’s some — right- hand vest pocket, ” groaned Hallett.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Do you know that I was just going without asking you the name of this place?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Do you know who it was that mur- dered your father? ”- Her fair head fell to her arms on the table.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Do you recognize this man? ” Cincinnati surveyed the photograph.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Doctor Steingurt? ” asked Congreve.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Does your friend — the lady who is n’t Mrs. Ling — live at Shadwell? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Done? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Either of you chaps got a gun? ” Royal thrust a bull- dog revolver into his hands.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Funny, though, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Gun- play, eh?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Hang it, man, what do you expect? ” said the other impatiently.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Have you got a match?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Having a birthday, Congreve? ” he said.
nyp.33433076090285	“ He bled — I mean he wrote to you for money? ” She winced.
nyp.33433076090285	“ He is gone?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Heard about Ling? ” demanded the superintendent.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Hello, you ’ve come round, have you? ” asked Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	“ His wife? ” ejaculated Cincinnati.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How are things shaping? ” asked Thornton.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How are you, Mr. Hallett?
nyp.33433076090285	“ How did you come to take a flat in Palace Avenue? ” demanded Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How did you get on to it? ” “ Your eyes, ” he said succinctly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How did you know about Gwennie?
nyp.33433076090285	“ How do I know you ai n’t stringin'me? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How do you explain the cheques? ” “ I do n’t.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How does it look? ” Foyle asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How much do they know? ” asked Ling sharply.
nyp.33433076090285	“ How'd you slip Mr. Hallett?
nyp.33433076090285	“ I have n’t got anything. ” “ That so? ” said Menzies smilingly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ I told you I'd got a bullet in my wrist, did n't I?
nyp.33433076090285	“ I was paid as a medical attendant, nod as a detec- tive. ” “ Are you likely to be going back there again? ” asked Congreve.
nyp.33433076090285	“ I ’m not admitting that I know anything, but if I did, would it be worth my while to tell you?
nyp.33433076090285	“ In a hurry to turn me out — eh?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Is Mr. Ling in?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Is n’t your name Tomkins? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Is there another way out?
nyp.33433076090285	“ It was he- who killed Mr. Greye- Stratton? ” he whispered hoarsely.
nyp.33433076090285	“ It would get you into bad odour with the boys, would n’t it? ” said Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Kind of hurt your repu- tation? ” Cincinnati Red was plainly alarmed at the course events were taking.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Let ’s make it supposition,[ 253] T H E M A E L S T R O M shall we?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Like this? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Not hurt? ” “ Only tired, ” she said.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Nothing we can hold you for?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Quite comfortable, eh? ” asked Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Say, bo, you ’ve got hold of a tiger's tail, have n’t you?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Say, do n’t you think you ’ve got a gall?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Say, this is a joke, is n’t it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Say, what are you getting out of this, sonnie? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Say, you do n’t know Ling, do you?
nyp.33433076090285	“ See that? ” he growled menacingly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Solly. ” “ Wot in'ell you palavering about? ” demanded Men- zies thickly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Tell me, what are you arresting me for? ” “ I ’m not arresting you, sonnie.
nyp.33433076090285	“ That Mr. Menzies? ”- “ Yes, ” he answered impatiently.
nyp.33433076090285	“ That so?
nyp.33433076090285	“ That you, Hallett? ” said Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	“ That you, Menzies? ” drawled a lazy voice.
nyp.33433076090285	“ That you, Tim Donovan? ” he said.
nyp.33433076090285	“ That you? ” said Foyle, beaming.
nyp.33433076090285	“ That's a bit of a change from Palace Avenue, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076090285	“ The point is what are we going to do about you? ” He shook his head at the “ con ” man.
nyp.33433076090285	“ There ’s a kiddo, chief — y ’ know I wandered down to 33 “ What ’s her name? ” “ Enid Samuels.
nyp.33433076090285	“ There, that ’s done. ” “ You are going now? ’ “ Yes, I ’m going. ” He caught both her hands in his impulsively.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Think you can fetch a post- office, sonny? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ This is funny, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076090285	“ This is your dull night, is n’t it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ We do n’t seem to have any luck, do we? ” “ I do n’t know. ” Congreve smiled behind his hand at his chief ’s impatience.
nyp.33433076090285	“ We ’re all here, ai n’t we? ” he snarled.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Well, what are you going to do about it, sonny? ” asked Ling coolly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Well, what are you going to do about it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Well? ” demanded Hallett shortly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Well? ” said Hallett again.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What about him?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What about the daugh- ter?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What about this Ling man?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What are the chances of getting the fire under? ” The man shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What are the police doing? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What are you doing up in this quarter, Rufe?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What are you driving at? ” “ This. ” The detective laid a thick forefinger on the palm of his left hand.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What do you expect to gain by it, anyway? ” “ I do n’t mind telling you now you ’re more or less in your senses.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What do you mean by that? ” Weir Menzies had a well- worn briar pipe in one hand and a tobacco pouch in the other.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What do you mean by that? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What do you want? ”.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What in thunder ’s the game? ” “ Blest if I know, ” said Cincinnati.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What is the meaning of this?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What next? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What the devil is the matter?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What ’s the madder with him? ” I asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ What's your num- ber? ” “ Why should I stop?
nyp.33433076090285	“ What's your num- ber? ” “ Why should I stop?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Whatever he is, scoun- drel though you think him, can I do less?
nyp.33433076090285	“ When the man came out of her flat did he seem in a hurry? ” “ No, sir, not particularly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where are those cheques? ” asked Foyle.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where did you pick her up? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where do I come in? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where is Mr. Hallett? ” he asked bluntly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where is it? ” he added quietly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where ’s the whip? ” asked Menzies.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Where's Ling? ” questioned Menzies abruptly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Which is the nearest main- line depot to the Monument? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Who is Ling? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Who says I killed him? ” he gasped in a cracked voice.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Who ’s your lady friend?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Why did n’t you stop when you were ordered? ” he demanded in a blaze of wrath.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Why did you help me to- night, then? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Why do n’t you get on with the séance? ” The beast in him was still at the top, but to the men there his words did not at all matter.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Why should I be denying it?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Why — what's the matter, Royal? ” Royal had opened the door and his cry now inter- rupted his chief.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Will a duck swim?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Will you answer me, my man? ” said Cincinnati, accentuating every word slowly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Will you come up?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Wot are you sorry for?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Wot ya giving us?
nyp.33433076090285	“ Wot's the matter with you, eh? ” he de- manded briskly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Would you recognise any of them?
nyp.33433076090285	“ You are all right? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You can tell the lady's name, of course, and bring her to prove it? ” “ I have said so, ” said Jimmie coldly.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You do n’t say? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You got one, Hal- lett?"
nyp.33433076090285	“ You have not spoken of that? ”- “ Do you mind if I smoke? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You have not spoken of that? ”- “ Do you mind if I smoke? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You have n’t got'em now, have you? ” “ Oh, deliver us, ” ejaculated Royal wearily.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You know what you ’re saying, Rufe? ” Menzies warned.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You know who killed heem, eh? ” The English had become a little less correct under stress of some excitement.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You know?
nyp.33433076090285	“ You said the police — the de- tectives were there; why?
nyp.33433076090285	“ You there, Mr. Hallett? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You think so, do you?
nyp.33433076090285	“ You want pipe? ” He regarded them sideways out of his slits of eyes with an expression of artfulness.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You were at the place where this man was killed yesterday — eh? ” The man shook a newspaper under his face.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You ’ll forget you ’ve been here? ” she says and I told her I would.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You ’ll let me have a gun, of course? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090285	“ You ’ve got a clean sheet, of course? ” he asked, and his voice, though quiet, was threatening.
nyp.33433076090285	“ Your name is Hallett? ” He spoke silkily and the extremely correct pronunciation of his words showed that he was neither English nor American.
nyp.33433076090285	“ ‘ Can you cut a wheel off that thing for me — smash the blighting thing up??
nyp.33433076090285	“ ‘ Can you cut a wheel off that thing for me — smash the blighting thing up??
nyp.33433076090285	“ ‘ Now what's it all about? ” he says as soon as we[ 334] T H E M A E L S T R O M got going.
nyp.33433076090285	“ ‘ What do you want me to do? ’ asks the chauffeur.
nyp.33433076044456	And for all this what would you expect?
nyp.33433076044456	And if I did mention Pine Mountain Lodge, what of that?
nyp.33433076044456	And remember saying this, Loveman?
nyp.33433076044456	And that's the question you really want an- swered?
nyp.33433076044456	And what did Mr. Loveman think of this idea?
nyp.33433076044456	But when you come back?
nyp.33433076044456	By the way,said Mr. Morton,"what is the name of the gentleman, your only passenger, that you just took up?
nyp.33433076044456	Did this little bird relay any information as to just what Bradley was going to do?
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't you think that I see now that you have forced my hand? nyp.33433076044456 Do with him?"
nyp.33433076044456	How about a little whist? nyp.33433076044456 I suppose you have come to inform me you have told the Mortons all about me?"
nyp.33433076044456	In the presence of Jack alone? ” Clifford put in gently. nyp.33433076044456 It's a mighty big thing, Chief, — but do you mind if I do n't give you my answer until this job I'm on is closed up?"
nyp.33433076044456	Mind if an asthmatic, dropsical, and almost moribund gentleman sits down while he talks?
nyp.33433076044456	Mrs. Gardner, how much did Miss Jones learn or guess about you and Jack? ” he demanded sharply. nyp.33433076044456 Of Mrs. Graveantair'?
nyp.33433076044456	Queer situation there, is n't it?
nyp.33433076044456	Supposing, on the other hand, ” Loveman re- marked in his same bland voice, “ that I have no disinclination to do what you suggest?.
nyp.33433076044456	Surely you do not still hope to save that situa tion?
nyp.33433076044456	Then— he choked, swallowed —"then you know everything?"
nyp.33433076044456	To go on: was your meeting with Mr. Morton in that out- of- the- way spot, Pine Mountain Lodge, pure coincidence as he said? nyp.33433076044456 Un'er- stand?
nyp.33433076044456	Well, you'll join us when the crowd blows in?
nyp.33433076044456	Well?
nyp.33433076044456	What do you think we ought to do?
nyp.33433076044456	What was in your mind a while ago when you started to tell Jack and me not to register here together?
nyp.33433076044456	Why did you accept the position he put you in, of being Jack's mistress?
nyp.33433076044456	You mean you are going to tell? ” she demanded. nyp.33433076044456 You will not tell? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076044456	'“ What we goin'to do next?"
nyp.33433076044456	( Or would there be a panic?)
nyp.33433076044456	, If there was a plot, could Nina be in it?
nyp.33433076044456	- But what are you driving at with all these ques- tions about Maisie? ”"I do n't know myself yet.
nyp.33433076044456	- and end it now?
nyp.33433076044456	- and has n't a woman the right to choose the time when she makes 204 MARY REGAN it?
nyp.33433076044456	- and then an act or two of a play, and then supper wher- ever you like?
nyp.33433076044456	- finding out about Brad- ley, and finding out about my son? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	- in a place where they do n't raise a thing but isolation?
nyp.33433076044456	... And Bradley, guide and protector of young Morton, what might be Bradley's part?
nyp.33433076044456	... And Peter Loveman, where did Love- man come in?
nyp.33433076044456	... And did she care for Morton?
nyp.33433076044456	... And might there not be motives, deeper and other than he had guessed, that had caused her to treat him so cava- lierly?
nyp.33433076044456	... And what kind of person, after these months, was really behind that exterior which Mary Regan had presented him?
nyp.33433076044456	... And why had she not frankly written him of her purpose?
nyp.33433076044456	... Is this Mr. Mor- ton?
nyp.33433076044456	... My answer to your invitation?
nyp.33433076044456	... Why?
nyp.33433076044456	1.50 MARY REGAN “ How could I help it?"
nyp.33433076044456	116 MARY REGAN"Why not?"
nyp.33433076044456	156 MARY REGAN"Shall I answer it?"
nyp.33433076044456	166 MARY REGAN “ At the Grantham. ” “ Who's with her?".
nyp.33433076044456	206 MARY REGAN “ What did you want to see me about, Mary?".
nyp.33433076044456	208 MARY REGAN"And also your answer to my suggestion about our little cruise?".
nyp.33433076044456	221 MARY REGAN “ Next, if I am to help you,"continued Clifford,"what are your general plans for the future?
nyp.33433076044456	29 MARY REGAN"By the by, Clifford, what's your interest in the young lady?"
nyp.33433076044456	290 MARY REGAN “ Did n't you see there was no handling him in the mood he was in?
nyp.33433076044456	58 MARY REGAN “ Your affairs?"
nyp.33433076044456	?
nyp.33433076044456	A cruise of a month or so in those waters — But shall we talk it over to- morrow night?
nyp.33433076044456	After all, had Clifford been right?
nyp.33433076044456	Again the question rose: how was it all coming out?
nyp.33433076044456	Ai n't we all liars?
nyp.33433076044456	Also I have just seen Police Commissioner Thorne. ” “ Yes?"
nyp.33433076044456	And after all, even had she won, would the winning have been worth the while?
nyp.33433076044456	And also did they suspect why he was here?
nyp.33433076044456	And do n't you and I know his real reason was that his old game was done for and that the public was wise to him?
nyp.33433076044456	And for what reason? ” 61 MARY REGAN “ Those are things to be found out."
nyp.33433076044456	And had he played into Peter Loveman's hands?
nyp.33433076044456	And how much did she really care for Morton?
nyp.33433076044456	And how was it all going to work out?
nyp.33433076044456	And how's Jackie Morton?
nyp.33433076044456	And if Hilton was in it, what was that gentleman's rôle?
nyp.33433076044456	And if she was Mary Regan, was she also truly Mrs. Gardner?
nyp.33433076044456	And if she was in it, what was her part?
nyp.33433076044456	And if so, how would she react under that responsibility if ever a crisis should arise?
nyp.33433076044456	And if so, what was his ultimate object?
nyp.33433076044456	And if so, why?".
nyp.33433076044456	And if you ca n't make a man of him, it's perfectly plain that you can never put your plan across. ” “ Well?"
nyp.33433076044456	And is that the three- mile limit of your interest?"
nyp.33433076044456	And most especially, just what was she going to do herself to make her way safely through all these dangers which beset her plans?
nyp.33433076044456	And now that you have been away, and come back?"
nyp.33433076044456	And soon? ” She eyed him steadily.
nyp.33433076044456	And then questioningly: “ But Mary Regan? ” “ That's Mary's real name — she just borrowed the name of Mrs. Gardner,"Jack explained.
nyp.33433076044456	And then, with a ring of certainty, “ If you do not know yourself to be in danger, then why are you in hid- ing?"
nyp.33433076044456	And then: “ But why have you told me all these things now?
nyp.33433076044456	And this danger that Uncle George had hinted at- did it rise chiefly from the plans and influence of other persons?
nyp.33433076044456	And what behind Bradley's offer of partnership?
nyp.33433076044456	And what did it mean, her being in company with dapper little Peter Loveman?
nyp.33433076044456	And what might be the danger?
nyp.33433076044456	And what would Loveman do?
nyp.33433076044456	And where had she gone?
nyp.33433076044456	And who might these other persons be?
nyp.33433076044456	And your pretending not to be Jack's wife?".
nyp.33433076044456	Are you suggest- ing that Jack come back to you?"
nyp.33433076044456	As for what she was hiding — well, was n't all the world hiding some- thing?
nyp.33433076044456	Aside from the moral reasons, were there any other reasons for your wanting Jack to change his habits?".
nyp.33433076044456	Blame me. ” “ What does this mean?"
nyp.33433076044456	Bob — has science yet discovered an anti- toxin for work?"
nyp.33433076044456	But did you notice that he put something in your bag? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	But how might it be done?
nyp.33433076044456	But if you do n't do that, how else are you going to stop it?"
nyp.33433076044456	But it got him off, and what more does a crook ever ask for?"
nyp.33433076044456	But my fib was a gentleman's lie. ” “ How so?"
nyp.33433076044456	But now that you've found her, what're you going to do? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	But since he has mentioned the point — is there anything special you came for?"
nyp.33433076044456	But supposing – all we've been talking about is mere supposition, you know — supposing I have a mild disinclination to do what you propose?"
nyp.33433076044456	But the question is, where's he been all this time?"
nyp.33433076044456	But what was her plan?
nyp.33433076044456	But what would Loveman do?
nyp.33433076044456	But what's the hurry?
nyp.33433076044456	But where does Mary Regan come in?"
nyp.33433076044456	But why did you go into hid- ing?"
nyp.33433076044456	By the way, would your Uncle Joe know anything? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	Ca n't I order something for you?"
nyp.33433076044456	Clif- ford asked himself if he had deduced aright Love- man's plans concerning her?
nyp.33433076044456	Clif- ford regarded Uncle George thoughtfully for a mo- ment, then suddenly asked: “ Do you know Jack Morton's father?".
nyp.33433076044456	Clifford 134 MARY REGAN realized that Mr. Morton had been engaged upon a bit of private sleuthing on his own account: which might lead to — what?
nyp.33433076044456	Clifford regarded her curiously: What was her pur- pose in summoning Mr. Morton into this situation?
nyp.33433076044456	Clifford?
nyp.33433076044456	Clifford?"
nyp.33433076044456	Clifford?".
nyp.33433076044456	Concrete questions, with their inseparable diffi- culties and dangers, rushed upon her: What was Clifford going to do?
nyp.33433076044456	Could n't you just sign your name, and let me fill those spaces when I buy the things?"
nyp.33433076044456	Could that Mrs. Gardner be Mary Regan?
nyp.33433076044456	Definitely? ” “ Her aunt wrote saying that Maisie no longer cared for Jack.
nyp.33433076044456	Did he suggest that you go into hiding?"
nyp.33433076044456	Did he tell you?".
nyp.33433076044456	Did some one else, perhaps without your knowledge at the time, plan that you should meet?"
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't 164 MARY REGAN you see?
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't you see it?
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't you see you'll ruin me?"
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't you think I see through you?
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't you think I understand?
nyp.33433076044456	Do n't you think those twenty years might have some influence with her, too?"
nyp.33433076044456	Do you get me, sister? ” He was glowering with malignant purpose.
nyp.33433076044456	Do you mind telling me, Clifford, just how I am going to do it?".
nyp.33433076044456	Excuse my curiosity — but perhaps you 219 MARY REGAN will tell me just what was the outcome of your affair with Maisie Jones?"
nyp.33433076044456	First, how do you happen to be here?"
nyp.33433076044456	Gardner?"
nyp.33433076044456	Get the fix that puts me in?
nyp.33433076044456	Get the situation, do n't you?
nyp.33433076044456	Grayson?"
nyp.33433076044456	Grayson?"
nyp.33433076044456	Grayson?"
nyp.33433076044456	Had he, perhaps, guessed only a part of Loveman's plan?
nyp.33433076044456	Had she reached the decision that he had so long been waiting for?
nyp.33433076044456	Had there come the change that they had talked about?
nyp.33433076044456	Has he asked for anything?".
nyp.33433076044456	Have it your own way. ” “ First, tell me what has happened since you took charge of Jack that night at Le Minuit?"
nyp.33433076044456	Have n't I already promised to follow your instructions in every detail? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	He believed, and was cer- tain she believed, that Mr. Morton already knew of the marriage- but did he know of the other things?
nyp.33433076044456	He had interfered with events, he had tried to shape life upon his ideas: was his course right?
nyp.33433076044456	He paused a minute; then demanded: “ Want to know what's coming to you? ” She stood silent, eyeing him steadily.
nyp.33433076044456	Her brother Slant- Face?
nyp.33433076044456	How about split- ting fifty- fifty on a ham sandwich?"
nyp.33433076044456	How about the older Morton and his urgent invitation to a cruise for two passengers among the West Indies?"
nyp.33433076044456	How could he have anything to do with closing your theater?".
nyp.33433076044456	How much do you care for Jack Morton?".
nyp.33433076044456	How soon before all would be about her again?
nyp.33433076044456	How was it all going to work out for Mary Regan?
nyp.33433076044456	How's that?"
nyp.33433076044456	How's the old boy?"
nyp.33433076044456	How?"
nyp.33433076044456	How?"
nyp.33433076044456	How?".
nyp.33433076044456	I beat it straight to Mary Regan. ”"What for?"
nyp.33433076044456	I suppose he's known you a long time?"
nyp.33433076044456	I suppose she has now consented?".
nyp.33433076044456	I suppose to- morrow will suit you all right for me to give Mr. Morton my detectives'report that his son is married? ” “ No."
nyp.33433076044456	I suppose you've got me fitted into some nice little idea?".
nyp.33433076044456	I wonder if Miss Gilmore would forgive you, and us, if we left her with Mr. Clif- ford?"
nyp.33433076044456	I wonder if you're one of our leading act- resses?
nyp.33433076044456	I'm going to end it! ” 162 MARY REGAN"End it?
nyp.33433076044456	If not, whose is it?"
nyp.33433076044456	If there was a plot here, just what was the plot?
nyp.33433076044456	In fact he said he knew the very place for Jack to go to — Pine Mountain Lodge. ” “ Then he suggested Pine Mountain Lodge?"
nyp.33433076044456	In fact, ” he confessed, “ though I do n't deserve it, Maisie really likes me a lot. ” “ What's she like?"
nyp.33433076044456	In what way?
nyp.33433076044456	Is he also in the dark as to where you are?"
nyp.33433076044456	Is he — is he like those other men you spoke of?".
nyp.33433076044456	Is there an artistic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
nyp.33433076044456	Is there any other information you can give me?"
nyp.33433076044456	Jack is very susceptible to the influence of the people imme- diately around him — and if I dare not see him, how can I influence him?
nyp.33433076044456	Loveman come yet? ”"No."
nyp.33433076044456	Loveman smiled on them most kindly: as why should n't he, thought Clifford, since many of them were working for him, though they guessed it not?
nyp.33433076044456	MARY REGAN: “ I have learned that I do not look upon life- that is life for myself-- in the way you thought I would. ” “ Just what do you mean?"
nyp.33433076044456	Might it not be an essential part of the scheme that Mary should be disturbed?
nyp.33433076044456	Mind skirmishing around Broadway until you find Jimmie Kelly and some more of his men?".
nyp.33433076044456	Morton — before you hear him, read my letter! ” “ Your letter? ” queried Mr. Morton, taken aback by the suddenness of all this.
nyp.33433076044456	New York's the only place! ” “ Where are you going to live? ” “ Right here at the Grantham.
nyp.33433076044456	Now what the devil are you doing here?".
nyp.33433076044456	Now, I wonder? ” Down in the quiet street, Clifford found himself wondering too.
nyp.33433076044456	Now, I wonder?"
nyp.33433076044456	Or might the danger rise partly out of the complexities, the contra- dictions, of her own nature?
nyp.33433076044456	Pardon me for smiling — but when a woman boasts, it sometimes is amusing and a bit absurd. ” “ What do you mean?"
nyp.33433076044456	Perhaps later, if her present plans went awry, she might want to be put across in some magnificent way — who knew?
nyp.33433076044456	Perhaps you are one of those independent New York bachelor girls we read about? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	Queer, ai n't it, ” he meditated, “ how all the big cops, when they leave the Police Department, open a private de- tective agency?
nyp.33433076044456	Re- member that motor yacht Bradley spoke of?"
nyp.33433076044456	Remember saying that, Loveman?"
nyp.33433076044456	Remember that?"
nyp.33433076044456	Shall I accept?"
nyp.33433076044456	She did not answer at once; so that he was led to prompt her: “ That's plain enough, is n't it, Mary?
nyp.33433076044456	She heard him come in, and · at once spoke, not changing her posture:- “ You've been talking all this while?"
nyp.33433076044456	She turned to Mary, “ But those things I just overheard?
nyp.33433076044456	She's always played you rotten, ai n't she?
nyp.33433076044456	Should she not make one last desperate effort to carry through her plan, despite them all?
nyp.33433076044456	Should she see him alone — or in public?
nyp.33433076044456	Since Hilton had communicated with Loveman and Bradley, what more likely than that they should still be able to communicate?
nyp.33433076044456	Son, just where is that building lot in North River located that you want me to sell him?"
nyp.33433076044456	Suppose we have dinner together this evening and then see a show?"
nyp.33433076044456	Surely you understand that?".
nyp.33433076044456	That I am down here now, about to do this, because you wanted me to do it?
nyp.33433076044456	That is, till we like something better. ” “ Then you are registered here?"
nyp.33433076044456	That we are to be Mr. and Mrs. Grayson? ” “ Of course, I'll make it worth your while. ”"No, thank you,"she said quietly.
nyp.33433076044456	The Biltmore?
nyp.33433076044456	The czar and the little czarovitch have fled from the capital to Siberia. ” “ Meaning who?"
nyp.33433076044456	The father do n't suspect how good I am- therefore he does n't mind chinning with me a bit when we meet. ” “ Where are they going?
nyp.33433076044456	The next instant would prove something — what?
nyp.33433076044456	Then she asked, looking down at Jack:- “ But what am I to do now?"
nyp.33433076044456	Then, very sharply:"But what did they do with Mary Regan?"
nyp.33433076044456	To them Clifford put the same question — “ Young Mr. Morton in here?"
nyp.33433076044456	Un'erstand?
nyp.33433076044456	Un'erstand?
nyp.33433076044456	Want to go along with her now, do you, so she can soak you some more?".
nyp.33433076044456	Was Jack himself the victim primarily aimed at?
nyp.33433076044456	Was Life doing something to her?
nyp.33433076044456	Was experience going to do for her what he had failed to do, or was experience going to stimulate to complete and final dominance her worldliness?
nyp.33433076044456	Was he in any way concerned in those other things?
nyp.33433076044456	Was n't that some coincidence, Bob?".
nyp.33433076044456	Was that shrewd, far- scheming lawyer behind the disappearance of Jack?
nyp.33433076044456	Was this a trap?
nyp.33433076044456	Was this what it meant, that chaos within her?
nyp.33433076044456	Well, little one, what are you going to do with your darling sweetheart who loves you so much that he's run away to avoid the sight of you?"
nyp.33433076044456	Well, what of that?
nyp.33433076044456	Were you at the opening last night of'Orange Blossoms'?"
nyp.33433076044456	What I mean, Miss Regan, is that I do not believe you could do it. ” “ Why not?".
nyp.33433076044456	What about what'll happen when he finds out?
nyp.33433076044456	What are they?"
nyp.33433076044456	What are you going to do with him?"
nyp.33433076044456	What d'you think you're doing?"
nyp.33433076044456	What decision had she come to in regard to herself during these months?
nyp.33433076044456	What decision in regard to him?
nyp.33433076044456	What did it mean, this unan- nounced return?
nyp.33433076044456	What did life offer with a police official who was on the square?
nyp.33433076044456	What do you want?"
nyp.33433076044456	What do you wish to know first?".
nyp.33433076044456	What for?"
nyp.33433076044456	What might he intend doing?
nyp.33433076044456	What might it not mean, Mary Regan's show- ing this concern to see that he accepted the position he had once refused because of her?
nyp.33433076044456	What might the ending be?
nyp.33433076044456	What should she do?
nyp.33433076044456	What the devil are you up to?"
nyp.33433076044456	What the devil does that mean?"
nyp.33433076044456	What was Jack going to do, whose mistress she had just declared herself to be before his father?
nyp.33433076044456	What was behind Loveman's suave statement that he knew nothing of Mary Regan?
nyp.33433076044456	What was behind her return in such a manner?
nyp.33433076044456	What was that girl going to do?
nyp.33433076044456	What's the way out?"
nyp.33433076044456	Who had brought about this disappearance?
nyp.33433076044456	Why are you doing it- when you could stop everything, this moment, with just a few words?"
nyp.33433076044456	Why did n't you frankly tell me of your intended marriage?"
nyp.33433076044456	Why do n't you be true to the best self that is in you and end it all yourself?
nyp.33433076044456	Why had n't Mary Regan sent him word?
nyp.33433076044456	Why not?
nyp.33433076044456	Why should I plot against Mary? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076044456	Why should I plot against Mary? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076044456	Why were they holding back?
nyp.33433076044456	Why?
nyp.33433076044456	Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	Why?".
nyp.33433076044456	Will you be willing to undertake what you offered to do that night down in front of this café?".
nyp.33433076044456	Will you re- turn the courtesy and tell me how you come to be here?"
nyp.33433076044456	Will you take the case?"
nyp.33433076044456	Will you undertake the job?
nyp.33433076044456	Will you?"
nyp.33433076044456	Wo n't you save me from myself by dining with me at the Ritz?
nyp.33433076044456	Would it be all right if I had to fill these in for perhaps as much as five hundred dollars apiece?"
nyp.33433076044456	Would it be presuming too much on Jack's friendship if I might call upon you and your aunt?"
nyp.33433076044456	Would you mind being more explicit why, and in what way, you want me to help?"
nyp.33433076044456	Yes, but what lay behind that plan?
nyp.33433076044456	You and Brad- ley as great friends as ever?"
nyp.33433076044456	You can avoid com- mitting yourself for a few days?".
nyp.33433076044456	You do n't mind telling?"
nyp.33433076044456	You have it with you? ” “ Yes, here it is, Mrs.
nyp.33433076044456	You have the full amount? ”, “ You may count it for yourself. ” She held out a little roll.
nyp.33433076044456	You know my son? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433076044456	You never can do that. ” “ Why not?"
nyp.33433076044456	You promise that, too?"
nyp.33433076044456	You were kind and generous — and I shall never forget. ” “ But you have no other feeling toward me?"
nyp.33433076044456	You're insulting God: what the hell d'you suppose he made so many pretty girls for?
nyp.33433076044456	You're ready now?"
nyp.33433076044456	she said keenly —"to save your own skin?"
nyp.33433076044456	smothered invitation to a voyage in tropical waters- or should she evade him by once more running away?
nyp.33433076044456	that the thing to do is to stop thinking about Jack and come in on these other lines?".
nyp.33433076044456	thing happened, Chief, to cause you to make me this offer just now?"
nyp.33433076044456	· “ He lives here?"
nyp.33433076044456	— Jack's disappearance and all the rest?
nyp.33433076044456	— Mary?
nyp.33433076044456	— and let the others get wise on how to make themselves pretty?
nyp.33433076044456	— and what its purpose?
nyp.33433076044456	— and without at- tracting attention?".
nyp.33433076044456	— his father?
nyp.33433076044456	— or did cunning brains bring it about? ” “ You mean, my cunning brains?".
nyp.33433076044456	— or did cunning brains bring it about? ” “ You mean, my cunning brains?".
nyp.33433076044456	— or was he altogether wrong?
nyp.33433076044456	— some other person?
nyp.33433076044456	— the way to Greenport?"
nyp.33433076044456	— what are they going to do?
nyp.33433076044456	— what was his present plan?
nyp.33433076044456	— when you had succeeded in your plan?"
nyp.33433076044456	— you get me?
nyp.33433076044456	“ About me?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Afternoons?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Ah — then you still are a detective?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Alone?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Am I getting you right?
nyp.33433076044456	“ And Jack? ”"Jack was reckless.
nyp.33433076044456	“ And Maisie Jones?
nyp.33433076044456	“ And Peter Loveman, if he finds you are here?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And after that's done, then what becomes of me?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And after that?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ And having done that, what do you think will happen?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And he could have known you were in Pine Mountain Lodge?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And it was your promise that stopped you?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And so, Loveman, I've got you at it again?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And so, Miss Gilmore — this is your confession?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And that is why you said nothing?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And the ultimatum?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And these are the only reasons you disappeared so suddenly from the Grantham?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And what about Jack's going to work?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And what good'll that do you? ” pursued Nina cuttingly — “ since he's all through with you?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And what good'll that do you? ” pursued Nina cuttingly — “ since he's all through with you?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And you promise not to try to be — too friendly until I give you the word?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And you replied to him?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ And you've had no telegram?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ And you, Loveman, you fit into this pretty little game, too! ” “ Me, Bob, my dear boy? ” protested Loveman.
nyp.33433076044456	“ And you? ”"Same here.
nyp.33433076044456	“ And your calling yourself Mrs. Gardner- is that, too, a part of your plan?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ And your reply to that? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Are you aware who this man is?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Are you coming, Jack?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Are you sure, Hilton,"he said softly, “ that your purpose here was only to call? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Are you — are you certain about that other woman? ” asked a strained voice.
nyp.33433076044456	“ As I was about to remark — granting that you are right, how are you going to stop it? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Better let me give you a brandy? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ But I suppose her illness means that you must stay pretty close to your rooms? ” Yes."
nyp.33433076044456	“ But at least you will let me help you? ” “ Certainly- if I need you."
nyp.33433076044456	“ But did n't he retire right afterwards, claiming broken health?
nyp.33433076044456	“ But he has a table reserved for two?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ But if you were willing to do it before, why not now?
nyp.33433076044456	“ But say, Mary, what's doing?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ But supposing I do have any little plan under way, I wonder how close you've come to guessing it?
nyp.33433076044456	“ But that is n't answering my first question and all it implied: why did n't you write me before you re- turned to New York?
nyp.33433076044456	“ But the letter?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ But what are you going to do, Mary? ” he in- sisted.
nyp.33433076044456	“ But what of that?
nyp.33433076044456	“ But when you come back?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ But why did you, just a moment ago, try to make me believe that you were Jack's — his — his mistress?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ But why should n't he have telegraphed me, too?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ But you are a New Yorker? ” “ I was born here.
nyp.33433076044456	“ But, son, I hope your motor's not missing fire over her — and her a married woman?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Can you come right over, Jack,- with your 104 MARY REGAN car?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Chairs, gentlemen,"put in Loveman; and when they were seated: “ Shall I say it, Bradley, or will you? ”"I'll say it."
nyp.33433076044456	“ Clifford, do you believe in fairies?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Dad, ” demanded the young fellow huskily, “ what do you think this situation is?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Did n't you know?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Did you ring?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Did you suggest any particular plan for his bracing up?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Discretion?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Do n't you see the fix she's got me in?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Do you feel like that — yet? ” Loveman queried solicitously.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Do you know what is the really big thing about all this?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Do you know where I can find her? ” “ Have n't the slightest idea.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Do you still control the lease to the apartment you had in the Mordona? ” he asked quietly.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Does she have any special interest?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Does she know she is being used?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Done what?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Doped. ” “ Doped?
nyp.33433076044456	“ First?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ God, ca n't you see what it means to me?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Have n't seen Mary in six months. ” “ You mean you do n't know where she's staying? ” exclaimed Clifford.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Have you seen your sister to- day?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ He was referring to that cruise with him?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Hello, Bob, — what's wrong with the world? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Help you?
nyp.33433076044456	“ How about Jack?
nyp.33433076044456	“ How about smearing her?
nyp.33433076044456	“ How can I do it?
nyp.33433076044456	“ How did you learn where I am?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ How goes the work, Jack?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ How much? ” “ Oh, I do n't know.
nyp.33433076044456	“ How're you feeling?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ How's the old boy?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I agree. ” “ And the letter? ” softly suggested Loveman.
nyp.33433076044456	“ I am merely feeling a bit surprised at seeing you back again. ” “ Surprised?
nyp.33433076044456	“ I asked you this before, but I am going to ask it again: why are you here in hiding? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ I felt I had to see you at once. ” “ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I suppose he has one of your bachelor apart- ments? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076044456	“ I thought you hac gone! ” “ Gone where? ” “ With or after Miss Regan. ” “ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I thought you hac gone! ” “ Gone where? ” “ With or after Miss Regan. ” “ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I used Mr. Loveman's name because I thought if I sent my own you would refuse to see me. ” “ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I was about to say that I suppose you are a native New Yorker?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I'd just come on duty when she left. ”"Was there a — was her brother with her?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ I'd rather not have to answer. ” “ But your mind is made up?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ If Jack has,- and I'm sure he has,- is n't it perfectly plain that you can never make a respon- sible man of him?
nyp.33433076044456	“ If you do n't mind telling me, just how do things stand?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ In New York?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ In what danger?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is it Peter Loveman? ”"No."
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is n't it clear to you now?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is n't it plain what I'm thinking of, Mary?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is n't that rather obvious?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is that all?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is that final?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is that so, dad? ” Mr. Morton nodded.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is there any special source of danger you fear?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is this Broad 9000?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Is what you say to be interpreted as meaning that you will not interfere with my plans?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ It is my confession, is it not?
nyp.33433076044456	“ It seems to me,"put in Mary in the same quiet voice, “ that the most important question is, what are you going to do with him?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ It would be misunderstood. ” “ Then you know who that is?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Just how are you going to do it, Mary?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Just what does that mean?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Just what have you got me here for? ” demanded Clifford.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Just what was that if you do n't mind outlining it again? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Know him well enough to get into a friendly talk with him?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Maisie's?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Mary Regan- do I know her? ” Was there something behind this evasion?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Mary Regan- do I know her? ” Was there something behind this evasion?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Mary, what does this mean?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Mary-- where were you? ”"Mr. Loveman pushed me into the pantry and locked the door. ”"I see, ” said Clifford rapidly.
nyp.33433076044456	“ May I break my promise to the extent of telling you of a few matters?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ May I see Mrs. Gardner, then? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076044456	“ May I see you again — for just a few minutes? ” There was a long silence; then the cool voice queried: “ Alone? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ May I see you again — for just a few minutes? ” There was a long silence; then the cool voice queried: “ Alone? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ My answer? ” she evaded.
nyp.33433076044456	“ No?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Not like the old days downtown- with their raids – eh, Joe? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Of course you agree, Jack, ” she pressed him, “ that we must still keep things quiet, and keep on wait- ing?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ On your honor as a gentleman you promise not to open this until I give you the word? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Our game? ” queried Loveman, with puzzled blandness.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Pardon me- do I know the young lady you re- fer to?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Perhaps when you get things straightened out- and suspicion quieted down —"“ You mean about Maisie Jones?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Police trouble you much here?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Promise?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Questions about what?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Remember my 44 MARY REGAN telling you the other night about my being away, far from the madding crowd?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Say, seen Peter Loveman about here?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ See here, George, what do you know?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Slim, got your car all ready? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Smoke, then?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ So he said. ” “ You learned definitely where he was going to take you?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ So that's why you've come to me with these new propositions?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Some day, then?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Tell me, just what has Mr. Loveman had to do with this affair?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ That's one reason for my moving — because I knew he would come. ” “ Was that all dad offered? ” Jack demanded.
nyp.33433076044456	“ The real question is,"returned Clifford, “ what does Peter Loveman say to the proposition? ” “ What do I say?
nyp.33433076044456	“ The real question is,"returned Clifford, “ what does Peter Loveman say to the proposition? ” “ What do I say?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then how did they ever get her into it this far? ” “ I do not know."
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then how should I behave?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then if you knew, why did n't you interfere?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then we'll have a little visit — yes?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then you still have a key to the apartment?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then you will not tell?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then you're getting tired of it?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then, to threaten me again that you will tell?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Then, what have you come for?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ This the Biltmore?
nyp.33433076044456	“ To- morrow- sometime before noon. ” And as Clifford continued his keen glance: “ You doubt me?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Understand now why she wanted to keep your marriage secret?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Want to know what he might pos- sibly give?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ We are going to be — as soon as it's safe. ” “ Safe?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well — what are you going to do?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well — what next? ” he prompted.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, if you're afraid of her, why do n't you beat her to that big stiff Morton — tell him who she is and what she's done?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, now, Uncle George — what's all this about?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, son, are you ready?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, what did she say?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, what is it now?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, what you going to do? ”.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well, who guessed right? ” he ventured after a moment.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well? ” “ I thought there was just one scheme on foot to blackmail Mrs. Morton.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Well?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What are you doing here? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076044456	“ What are you driving at?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What are you going to do next, if you do n't mind telling? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076044456	“ What are you thinking of now?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What are you thinking of? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433076044456	“ What did he say?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What do you say to Clifford's proposition?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ What do you think is in his mind?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ What do you want?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What else did he say?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What for?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What have you heard from Jack since I saw you?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What is it now?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What is it, man?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What is your answer?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What other people?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What situation?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ What're you up to?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's happened to him?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's her attitude toward you?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's in your mind? ” Clifford had been, and still was, asking himself those same questions.
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's she like?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's that?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's the matter?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's this all about?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ What's this you're up to? ” he demanded huskily.
nyp.33433076044456	“ What? ” He spoke very quickly.
nyp.33433076044456	“ What?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where do I come in?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where does that come in?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where is she staying?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where'd you find him?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where's Mr. Clifford and Lieutenant Kelly?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where's that cloak?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Where?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Who could have planned our meeting?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Who did, then?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Who was that?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Who?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why do n't you do that?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why have you done this?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why not? ” cried the astounded Thorne.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why not? ” “ I think, dearie, that there are other arrange- ments-""You mean that you have other arrangements!"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why not?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why not?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why not?".
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Why?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Wo n't you please come in?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Wo n't you please give me a hint? ” he insisted.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Would you mind explaining? ” Mary asked quietly.
nyp.33433076044456	“ Would you mind explaining?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Yes, on Mrs. Gardner — twelfth floor, Apart- ment M. Shall I'phone up you're here?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ Yes. ” “ How much baggage do you have here?
nyp.33433076044456	“ You are to go with him alone?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You definitely promise?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You have not forgotten that last night in Washington Square?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You have told Mr. Loveman and Mr. Bradley of your intention to consult me?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You know Jack Morton?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You know Miss Regan? ” Clifford remembered his lines.
nyp.33433076044456	“ You know about that?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You know the Long Island roads?
nyp.33433076044456	“ You love him?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You mean in regard to women?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You mean looks, or — or personally?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You mean to resume on the old basis — the dis- creet Riverside Drive affair- and all that? ” “ Just that.
nyp.33433076044456	“ You mean you did n't ask her anything – did n't speak to her? ”"No."
nyp.33433076044456	“ You refer to your engagement to Jack Morton?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You talked with them?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You — you are married?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You'll do it to- morrow?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You've known Loveman some time?"
nyp.33433076044456	“ You- how did you get in here?
nyp.33433076044456	“ Your predicament?".
nyp.33433076044456	“'S tha'so? ” he de- manded thickly.
nyp.33433082170055	And dare you break it open, Miss Seymour? ” I asked. nyp.33433082170055 And it vanished as before? ” “ Instantly.
nyp.33433082170055	But can you prove this? nyp.33433082170055 Did you actually feel the cold touch of the Hand? ” I asked her in eagerness.
nyp.33433082170055	Do you suspect that? ” She shrugged her well- shaped shoulders without replying. nyp.33433082170055 I understand from Shaw that you have known him quite a long time, eh?".
nyp.33433082170055	Nothing concerning his past?

nyp.33433082170055	Would you mind describing to me, as far as you are able, what you heard in the night? ” I said. nyp.33433082170055 You are absolutely certain that the window was quite securely closed?"

nyp.33433082170055	Abroad, I suppose?"
nyp.33433082170055	Am I not the only real friend he has?

nyp.33433082170055	Asta and her step- father must also have both already fallen into the hands of the police, for were they not upstairs?
nyp.33433082170055	Asta became quite alarmed. ” “ Well, ” I exclaimed, “ what is your theory re- garding the poor fellow's death? ”.
nyp.33433082170055	Ay, what indeed?
nyp.33433082170055	Ay, what indeed?

nyp.33433082170055	But perhaps she knows just a little too much, eh? ” I had not looked at the matter in that light.

nyp.33433082170055	Did he mention anything to you concerning the terms of his will?"
nyp.33433082170055	Did she fear its result and was she, for that reason, holding out to Shaw the olive branch of peace?
nyp.33433082170055	Did she not owe everything to his kindness and his generosity?

nyp.33433082170055	Is she still very upset? ” “ Very.

nyp.33433082170055	The papyri I have still locked away, awaiting his return. ” “ Then they are here? ” I cried eagerly.
nyp.33433082170055	The weird story told to me by Shaw concerning it haunted me; yet what evil could its possession bring upon me?
nyp.33433082170055	Then shall I be frank with you m'sieur?
nyp.33433082170055	Then what's the matter? ” I gasped.
nyp.33433082170055	Then, turning to the dead man's guest, I said in a low voice: “ I wonder, Captain Cardew, if I might speak to you in absolute confidence?
nyp.33433082170055	There were four rooms on that floor, but only mine was occupied. ” “ The window?

nyp.33433082170055	Was Alfred Dawnay again in peril of arrest, I wondered?
nyp.33433082170055	Was he speaking in his sleep?
nyp.33433082170055	Was he telling all he knew?
nyp.33433082170055	Was his impatience an eagerness to hear of the poor girl's end?
nyp.33433082170055	Was his name Dawnay, I wondered?
nyp.33433082170055	Was it not to be supposed that his actual name was Edgcumbe?
nyp.33433082170055	Was it possible that he was following me to watch my movements?
nyp.33433082170055	Was it possible that she had been implicated in the poor fellow's mysterious end?
nyp.33433082170055	Was it possible that the tragedy had been the outcome of that secret midnight meet- ing in Babylon?
nyp.33433082170055	Was it really some living thing imprisoned in that strange unbreak- able casing?
nyp.33433082170055	Was n't it sad, sir?"

nyp.33433082170055	What actual conclusions have you formed?"
nyp.33433082170055	What business is it of yours? ” he asked resentfully, and in evident alarm.
nyp.33433082170055	What connec- tion could the quiet- mannered, unassuming old gentleman have with sạch a trio of clever swin- dlers?
nyp.33433082170055	What connection could he have had with such swindlers?

nyp.33433082170055	What could be the charge against them?
nyp.33433082170055	What could be “ the ugly truth ” to which she had re- ferred?

nyp.33433082170055	Why had he given vent to that shriek of horror?
nyp.33433082170055	Why had that letter been sent to him, threatening revenge for the sen- tence upon the adventuress who called herself Lady Lettice Lancaster?

nyp.33433082170055	Why had the dying man warned me of it?

nyp.33433082170055	Why not place the matter in the hands of the police, together with what is revealed in that letter? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433082170055	Why should the dead man have feared to expose its contents to the world?
nyp.33433082170055	Why was he in such mortal terror lest some evil should befall her?
nyp.33433082170055	Why was he not there, knowing Asta's precarious condition?
nyp.33433082170055	Why were n't you more wary? ” But in her reply she turned her back upon me, so that I could not distinguish her words.

nyp.33433082170055	Yet what could I do?
nyp.33433082170055	Yet what was the mysterious charge against her- the charge which the French police had refused to reveal to me?
nyp.33433082170055	Yet why had this woman Olliffe-- as she now called herself declared that Shaw had been Arnold's bitterest enemy?

nyp.33433082170055	“ And how is Miss Asta now?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ And if any little contretemps did happen to you? ” I asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ And is he dead, you say?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ And it has warned me- of what?"

nyp.33433082170055	“ And you accepted the trust — you were fool enough to do that?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ And you declare that you have no knowledge of his offences? ” asked the official shrewdly.
nyp.33433082170055	“ And you did not leave him at all? ” “ No.

nyp.33433082170055	“ But are you quite certain that he is as devoted to you as he professes?
nyp.33433082170055	“ But if you entertain any well- founded suspi- cions, ought you not to put them to the police?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ But is it just — with so much distress here, in New York- to deliberately destroy money like this?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ But the disguise? ”.
nyp.33433082170055	“ But what causes you to suspect this?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ But whom are we to fear?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ But why has he returned if there is still dan- ger? ” I queried.
nyp.33433082170055	“ But —"“ But what? ” I asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ By whom?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Can not you tell me something concerning him — who and what he was?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Could I not be of service to him for your sake? ” I added in a low, earnest tone, my eyes fixed upon her pale troubled countenance.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Did he not tell the doctors? ” “ No.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Did n't you scream? ” he asked wearily.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Did you lock it? ” I asked quickly.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Did you see the rat? ” Shaw asked me.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Do you anticipate that he made a will? ” I asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Do you know where he is?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Guy introduced me to them one night at the Gotham. ” “ Where is the young lady now? ” “ Somewhere in India, I think.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Had he any enemies — any person who would benefit by his death?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Has she been here to- day?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Has your father any ground for declaring the woman's conviction to be due to Earnshaw?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Have I not agreed with you that the circumstances are sus- picious, and have I not promised to help you to watch?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Have you ever met the widow? ” I asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Have you evidence — evidence of foul play?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Have you known Asta long? ” he asked me suddenly.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Have you mentioned this to anybody? ” I asked him.
nyp.33433082170055	“ He did not mention me — eh? ” asked my companion.
nyp.33433082170055	“ He wrote to him?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ He's a friend of Mrs. Olliffe's, you say?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can I tell?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can I tell? ” she said hoarsely.
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can I?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can it be done?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can we tell if the cylinder is non- existent?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can we tell?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How can we tell?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ How did you know of this terrible affair, Kem- ball?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How did you know? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433082170055	“ How do I know? ” “ But you are wearing his clothes!
nyp.33433082170055	“ How do you know it is Mr. Arnold's? ” I asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ How do you know?
nyp.33433082170055	“ How long have you been with him?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ I be- lieve you are Mr. Kemball, are you not? ” “ That certainly is my name, ” I said, raising my straw hat instinctively.
nyp.33433082170055	“ I believe,"I exclaimed next moment, “ that you are Mr. Arthur Dawnay?".
nyp.33433082170055	“ I know that at one time she passed as Lady Lettice Lancaster, and was sentenced to penal servitude as an adventuress. ” “ Who told you that?
nyp.33433082170055	“ I know — and a convicted criminal. ” “ You know her then?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ I think you told me that he made you a pres- ent in bank- notes?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ I wonder what is the solution of that shadowy hand which we both have seen, Mr. Kemball?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ If you are not Dawnay, then where is Daw- nay?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ In fear of her? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Is he not your friend as well as mine?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Is it ancient welding?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Is that you, Shaw? ” I called out, but there was no response.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Is there not danger — distinct danger in this, Mr. Kemball? ” she queried, in great anxiety.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Is this man Dawnay such a very undesirable person? ” I asked quietly.
nyp.33433082170055	“ It would hardly have suited him to have used that! ” “ What was it?
nyp.33433082170055	“ May I speak to you in entire confidence?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ May I speak with you privately?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ No one has formed any conclusion of what caused the shock? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Now do n't disappoint me, will you? ” “ No, I wo n't. ” Then he whispered quickly: “ I told you that I had certain proofs.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Of course I am, why?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Of what? ” “ Of some rather ugly facts.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Of what? ” “ Of their recent movements, and more espe- cially of their place of residence."
nyp.33433082170055	“ Of what?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Of what?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ On the occasion when you saw it was the door of your room locked? ” “ Most certainly, ” was her reply.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Over what?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Perhaps that woman. ”"Is she still in Lyons, I wonder?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Poor Mr. Nicholson used to stay here some- times, did n't he?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Rather a funny lot- so I've heard, eh?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Shall you have tea in here, Dad — or out on the lawn?
nyp.33433082170055	“ So Asta found you all right, eh?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Tell me, Miss Seymour,"I said presently, bending to her very seriously, “ what happened to you on that night in Aix? ”.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Tell me, Mr. Kemball, ” she explained at last in a hard- strained voice, scarce above a whisper: “ Tell me — what did he write? ”.
nyp.33433082170055	“ That was over a month ago, eh? ”"Perhaps six weeks."
nyp.33433082170055	“ The hammering you heard — was it quite dis- tinct? ” I inquired.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then I presume you are a relation? ” “ His daughter, ” she replied, “ or to be quite correct his adopted daughter.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then perhaps you came to meet Mr. Melvill Arnold?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then who is in charge of the dead man's es- tate?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then why do n't you come with us? ” he sug- gested.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then why trouble me? ” “ Because you can so easily establish it beyond a doubt."
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then you fear that — well, that something may happen, eh?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then you suspect Shaw of having kept the horrible thing as a pet — eh? ” he gasped, staring at me amazed.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then — then I must have had the nightmare or something, eh?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Then, I take it that you do not hold in con- tempt a man who, in dealing with the world, has used his opponent's own weapons? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ They have, I believe, just missed a most im- portant capture. ” “ What was the charge against them? ” I in- quired.
nyp.33433082170055	“ This is a funny job, ai n't it, sir?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Was Dawnay an enemy?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Was Dawnay aware of Arnold's identity?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Was he an elderly grey- haired man who had lived a great deal in Egypt and was an expert in Egyptology, eh? ”.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Well, and what do you make out from that incident? ” I asked.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Well, what did he say against me? ” he asked, looking at me strangely with those small, myste- rious eyes of his.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Well, what's the fear? ” I heard him ask her quickly.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Well? ” I asked, a trifle surprised at his sud- den change of manner.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Well? ” I asked, with an effort to restrain my own anxiety.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Were all the lights out when he came up with you? ” “ By Jove!
nyp.33433082170055	“ What causes you to suspect that?
nyp.33433082170055	“ What could he have meant by that? ”.
nyp.33433082170055	“ What did she tell een you? ”"Several things,"I replied.
nyp.33433082170055	“ What do you mean? ” he asked quickly, star.
nyp.33433082170055	“ What secret? ” I demanded anxiously.
nyp.33433082170055	“ What was he like? ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433082170055	“ What was that?
nyp.33433082170055	“ What's happened to Miss Asta?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Where can I meet you again?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Where did he live usually?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Where did you first meet him?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Where shall I meet you again?".
nyp.33433082170055	“ Where?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Who are you?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Who is that?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Who was the gentleman with them? ” I in- quired eagerly.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why did you fear to reveal yourself to me, Miss Seymour? ” I asked, earnestly looking straight into her soft brown eyes as the car rushed along.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why mysterious? ” I queried.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why not tell me?
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why should any word be said against him?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why should it?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why, what's up, eh? ” “ Nothing,"I laughed.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Why? ” He smiled grimly, but remained silent.
nyp.33433082170055	“ Will she recover?"
nyp.33433082170055	“ Will you promise not to open it until after I have been placed in the grave, and to act as I have requested? ”.

nyp.33433082170055	“ Yes, I am in danger — grave danger at this moment and how to escape I know not. ” “ Escape from what? ” “ From arrest."
nyp.33433082170055	“ Yes. ” “ He gave you that, eh? ” he cried in distinct arr 86 THE LOST MILLION alarm.

nyp.33433082170055	“ You mean Harvey Shaw?"

nyp.33433112073030	And Miss Stainer insisted that Lionel had no reason to blame Margaret. ” “ What about Lucilla ’s insinuation that another woman was concerned?
nyp.33433112073030	Anyhow, she had nothing on earth to do with the silver bag. ” “ Then whom did it belong to? ” demanded Sibylla.
nyp.33433112073030	At present there seems only one certainty. ” “ What is that? ” demanded Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	Besides, what right have you to accuse 01d Derrick?
nyp.33433112073030	But I hope, ” she added, “ that is not your real reason for telling me. ” “ What other could there be? ” demanded Lucilla.
nyp.33433112073030	But she offered me a home, and what could I do but accept it?

nyp.33433112073030	For why, otherwise, should Mrs. Tempest, acting presumably for Miss Stainer, desire to see him?
nyp.33433112073030	Have n’t we done almost enough in that way?
nyp.33433112073030	He was being pressed for a prompt decision, and it amounted to this: Was he to make certain of seeing Evelyn again, or not?

nyp.33433112073030	How can I tell that I ’m not being fooled?
nyp.33433112073030	How could he go off with Margaret while his mother was lying between life and death?
nyp.33433112073030	How do I know that she and your friend Miss Knowles have n’t put their heads together to humbug us both?
nyp.33433112073030	How do you know it was Mrs. Windermere ’s? ” cried Sibylla.
nyp.33433112073030	How long have you known these good people?
nyp.33433112073030	How, in my position, was I to refuse?
nyp.33433112073030	I am going there next week. ” “ Which day? ” he asked eagerly.
nyp.33433112073030	I did n’t intend to come to London, only I felt bound to have a peep at jimmy. ” “ How is Mr. Windermere? ” asked Henrietta.
nyp.33433112073030	I found myself without a home or anything but a few pounds and a little trumpery jewellery. ” “ How old were you then? ” asked Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	I see heaps of girls of my own age having such a splendid time; and what have I done to be left out?

nyp.33433112073030	I wonder whether you had? ” “ I think so, ” Sibylla answered.
nyp.33433112073030	I ’ve always tried to hope—-—- ” “ To hope?
nyp.33433112073030	If you did n’t believe her then, why should you believe her now? ” suggested Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	If you had no serious intentions-—isn’t that the correct phrase — towards Lucilla, why did you accept our invitation?
nyp.33433112073030	Is n’t that what I ’ve come to London for?
nyp.33433112073030	Is she still at Parliament Court?
nyp.33433112073030	It was positively absurd — the way she exaggerated my small service in the sea at Brighton. ” “ What did your aunt have to say about it?"
nyp.33433112073030	It was she who per- suaded my wife to return to me. ” THE SILVER BAG 67 “ Where in the world does Evelyn Stainer come in? ” asked Valentine.

nyp.33433112073030	No woman could have looked more relieved. ” “ You have no doubt, ” suggested Valentine, “ that it was she who brought it to Parliament Court?
nyp.33433112073030	She ca n’t get away because mother is clinging to her hand. ” “ She did n’t seem to be offended? ” urged Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	She vowed she would never forgive me. ” “ For what? ” demanded Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	She wanted to know when Mr. Chalmers was likely to be home. ” “ When was that?
nyp.33433112073030	She was a wee bit distressed ” “ I suppose you mean that you saved her life?

nyp.33433112073030	THE SILVER BAG 255 “ What on earth ’s the matter? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433112073030	That goes without saying, does n’t it?
nyp.33433112073030	The Vicar of Colbourne received a letter fixing the time, and he asked Mr. Wentworth to officiate. ” “ Was he able to describe the bride?
nyp.33433112073030	The kind of woman a man might like to choose for his mother or sister. ” “ Not for his wife?
nyp.33433112073030	The question for Valentine was this: Could it be possible that Evelyn Stainer, also, was Lucilla's Good Fairy?
nyp.33433112073030	There ’s a degree of absurdity which is really intolerable. ” “ Then it is absurd to suggest such a thing? ” he exclaimed eagerly.
nyp.33433112073030	There ’s been a young lady here. ” “ Not to see me?"
nyp.33433112073030	There ’s many a true word spoken in jest, you know. ” “ Do fairies ever die?

nyp.33433112073030	Where do your people live? ” “ At Sycamore Road, St. john ’s Wood. ” “ I know it well, ” she said.

nyp.33433112073030	Why did she come?
nyp.33433112073030	Why do you look amused? ” she demanded abruptly.
nyp.33433112073030	Why should I?
nyp.33433112073030	Why should he part from her within a few hours of the wedding day?
nyp.33433112073030	Why should it?

nyp.33433112073030	You must admit that it would explain a great deal. ” “ But why on earth should they make a mystery of it? ” said Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	You must understand that I had seen a great deal of Mr. Chalmers since Christmas. ” “ Not before? ” asked Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	You overwhelmed her with reproaches. ” “ What for? ” demanded Evelyn.

nyp.33433112073030	“ But this time I have heard a plain, straightforward confession. ” “ Whom from, in Heaven ’s name? ” demanded Lionel.
nyp.33433112073030	“ By the by, ” he added, with an assumption of carelessness, “ where did you spend last Christmas? ” “ Here, ” she answered.
nyp.33433112073030	“ By the by, ” he remarked, “ you have grown less ambitious. ” “ Do you think I have? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Can I give her a message? ” suggested Lucilla; adding impulsively, “ You ca n’t imagine how curious you make me feel.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Did she give her name? ” asked Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Did you see Derrick off on Sunday? ” she inquired, without any sign of surprise at the visit.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Did you want to see Miss Stainer very particularly? ” she asked, when he hinted at his reason for coming this afternoon.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Do n’t you see that ’s just what I would do anything rather than believe?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Do n’t you think Lionel looks horribly ill? ” “ I thought so even before I went abroad,"was the answer.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Do you know when Margaret will be home? ” he added.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Do you mean Lucilla? ” “ Yes, ” said Sibylla.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Do you think I ’m the man to take this sort of thing without a word?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Does n’t that sound rather paradoxical? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Have you asked Derrick to come? ” said Valentine, when jenkinson had gone.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Have you ever seen Tempest?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ He declares that he performed the ceremony. ” “ When — where, in Heaven ’s name? ” asked Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ He may have told Mrs. Tempest or Miss 144 146 THE SILVER BAG hinder you from making a fresh start?
nyp.33433112073030	“ How can you be certain of that? ” demanded Lucilla.
nyp.33433112073030	“ How could I ever have allowed myself to come between you two? ” she insisted.
nyp.33433112073030	“ How do you know it contains one?
nyp.33433112073030	“ How should you?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ How ’s the youngster?
nyp.33433112073030	“ However kind these people may be, I shall be bound to turn out some day. ” “ Then there are more Good Fairies than one?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Hullo, Val, what ’s up? ” demanded Derrick, with a laugh, which, surely, could not fail to reach Lionel ’s ears.
nyp.33433112073030	“ I accept it without the slightest reservation. ” “ Then you will go away contented after all?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ I am going early in the morning. ” “ Going where?
nyp.33433112073030	“ I am — perfectly certain. ” “ Why? ” she exclaimed, with her eyes on his face.
nyp.33433112073030	“ I know what I shall do! ” “ What? ” said Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ I say, ” he exclaimed, “ I hope you ’re going a bit farther than the Underground this time, you know. ” “ Do you?
nyp.33433112073030	“ I should like to know how you can explain it? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433112073030	“ I suppose, ” he suggested, as they walked on through the rain, “ you have seen a good deal of Miss Stainer lately?
nyp.33433112073030	“ I suppose, ” she added, “ you know Mrs. Chalmers?
nyp.33433112073030	“ I wonder whether you were coming to look me up again? ” he ventured at last.
nyp.33433112073030	“ If Derrick and Evelyn wanted to get married, what was there to stand in their way?
nyp.33433112073030	“ If I had never gone there, ” she murmured, “ how should I ever have found my way here?
nyp.33433112073030	“ In that case, ” exclaimed Valentine, “ may I ask why you have taken the trouble to come here three times in two days?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Is Margaret all right? ” “ She was when I saw her yesterday,"said Lionel a little grudgingly.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Is anything the matter? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Is n’t that putting it rather too strongly? ” Lucilla leaned forward in her chair, resting her elbow on her knee and her chin on her hand.
nyp.33433112073030	“ It ’s you, you infernal scoundrel, is it? ” he cried.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Might I speak to you for a moment, Miss Brook? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Miss Stainer seemed determined not to tell me. ” “ Then how can you speak so positively?
nyp.33433112073030	“ My silver bag? ” she exclaimed, with her head slightly on one side and her eyebrows raised.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Not certain of what?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ Of course, ” said Sibylla, “ I insisted that he must be mistaken. ” “ What in the world about?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Oh — four years or so. ” “ Before she came to live in London? ” suggested Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Oh, why,"she pleaded, resting a hand on his sleeve, “ ca n't you be generous?
nyp.33433112073030	“ She did n’t say so right out? ” “ Well, she hinted at it rather broadly.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Sometimes I think I must be. ” “ What connection can conceivably exist between Margaret and Lucilla Knowles? ” de- manded Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ That is a habit of hers, is n’t it?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Then the operation was n’t successful? ” “ It was the only way to save her life at the moment, ” Derrick explained.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Then why in the world did she say she had?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Then, ” asked Valentine, “ when did Mr. Chalmers go?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ There would be only one com- pensation. ” “ What is that?
nyp.33433112073030	“ To convince me of what?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ Val, ” exclaimed Lionel, “ you ’re not expect- ing anybody?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Was it Miss Stainer by any chance?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ Was it really?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ Was she riding in a coach fashioned out of a pumpkin? ” “ A taxi, ” said Lucilla.
nyp.33433112073030	“ We know who was the real owner of the bag at last. ” “ Who? ” demanded Lucilla.
nyp.33433112073030	“ We were seen together at the restaurant last Monday. ” “ By Mrs. Tempest? ” he asked, drawing his bow at a venture.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Well, ” he asked, as he entered Evelyn ’s presence, “ have they got safely away? ” “ A quarter of an hour ago, ” was the answer.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What did he say to that? ” asked Evelyn, looking a little anxious.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What did she say? ” asked Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What do you say to that? ” he asked, drop- ping the bag into the drawer.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What else do you want? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What form do you imagine my displeasure would be likely to assume?
nyp.33433112073030	“ What has she to do with Mrs. Tempest? ” “ Anyhow, ” muttered Lionel, “ She lives in the same house.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What in the world is this?
nyp.33433112073030	“ What in the world made you imagine that? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What satisfaction will it give you to drag Margaret ’s name through the mire? ” “ Anyhow, what do you expect me to do? ” demanded Lionel.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What satisfaction will it give you to drag Margaret ’s name through the mire? ” “ Anyhow, what do you expect me to do? ” demanded Lionel.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What the dickens could Chalmers have wanted with a silver wrist- bag? ” demanded Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What — what was it? ” asked Lucilla.
nyp.33433112073030	“ What ’s that?
nyp.33433112073030	“ What ’s that? ” demanded Lionel.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Where did you pick her up? ” “ Oh well, ” Valentine explained, “ it was a bit of an adventure in a way.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Where? ” asked Valentine, trying to speak without the slightest eagerness.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Whom to? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why did n’t you bring her up? ” “ ’Cause she would n’t come, sir. ” “ Where is she?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why did n’t you bring her up? ” “ ’Cause she would n’t come, sir. ” “ Where is she?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why in the world should I?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why in the world should she send for you,"he demanded, “ unless she means to say something about the silver bag?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why in the world, ” he demanded, feeling rather brutal, “ did n’t you go to your aunt at Clapham Common?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why should that astound you? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why the dickens did n’t you? ” exclaimed Valentine, offering cigars and cigarettes, which were rather peremptorily refused.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why, from Mrs. Tempest. ” “ What did she say?
nyp.33433112073030	“ Why?"
nyp.33433112073030	“ Would n’t it be reasonable to suppose that it was brought? ” said the visitor.
nyp.33433112073030	“ Would n’t that be rather soon? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You could try to find out where Miss Stainer was on the thirty-first of December. ” “ How could I do that? ” “ Miss Knowles would know.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You do n’t know Mrs. Tempest? ” suggested Lucilla.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You do n’t know who she is? ” “ She refused to tell me even her name, ” said Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You remember, ” he added, suddenly raising his eyes, “ telling me about that girl? ” “ Where on earth does she come in?
nyp.33433112073030	“ You remember, ” he added, suddenly raising his eyes, “ telling me about that girl? ” “ Where on earth does she come in?
nyp.33433112073030	“ You see, so many things would be accounted for. ” “ Such as what? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You see, there ’s a room on the ground floor here where we can entertain our friends. ” “ Is that quite — quite ale rzlgueur?
nyp.33433112073030	“ You will let me take your ticket? ” he sug- gested, when she offered her hand.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You ’re going to stay to lunch? ” suggested Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You ’re perfectly certain? ” demanded Lionel.
nyp.33433112073030	“ You ’ve got to tell me straight — no beating about the bush — is this the infernal thing you found on your shaving- table?
nyp.33433112073030	” “ By me, do you mean? ” asked Valentine.
nyp.33433112073030	” “ Have you? ” cried Lucilla, with a lift of her black eyebrows.
nyp.33433112073030	” “ The sort of young woman you ca n’t easily see too much of — what?
nyp.33433112073030	” “ What ’s what?
nyp.33433076054687	'Twas me blundered into that cabin and found her, as likely you've heard? ” The woman nodded and swallowed hard.
nyp.33433076054687	- “ Did ever you see such a dead- alive hole? ” It was Dennis at his elbow.
nyp.33433076054687	- “ Is she a good watchdog, Mr. Thompson? ”|| BUCK.
nyp.33433076054687	>> say He paused again but McCarty, with a quick look at Dennis, remarked easily: “ You thought it might have been Mrs. Wall?
nyp.33433076054687	And if later he had chanced to be anywhere near that cabin, why had n't he made his presence known?
nyp.33433076054687	And were you snooping around headquarters or looking into the evidence for yourself or telling me what you thought of them?
nyp.33433076054687	Anxiety making him irritable, he demanded, “ What's it you're hearing now?
nyp.33433076054687	Are you going into politics that you're afraid to lose votes by opening the mouth on you?
nyp.33433076054687	BREAKS SILENCE 273 the house here, but kept right along the highroad, did n't you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054687	BREAKS SILENCE 275 Mr. Doe, I'm a lucky man!—So Norris did know Mrs. Wall, in spite of his denial to me! ” “ When was this? ” McCarty asked.
nyp.33433076054687	Be you workin'fer the same firm as her? ” “ No, ” McCarty responded quickly.
nyp.33433076054687	But how about the Lucy Jane? ” McCarty had scarcely heard the latter portion of the speech.
nyp.33433076054687	But how could he with his handcuffed wrists and bare feet and not a thing in the room?
nyp.33433076054687	But how did you know young “ Buck'did? ” “ Because him and Mrs. Hatherly had an awful fight about it.
nyp.33433076054687	But how in the name of the blessed saints who pre- served him had Dennis got ashore?
nyp.33433076054687	But thar ben't no way o'gittin'the rest o'what was printed on that thar label? ” “ Why not? ” McCarty had opened the flat book upon his knees.
nyp.33433076054687	But thar ben't no way o'gittin'the rest o'what was printed on that thar label? ” “ Why not? ” McCarty had opened the flat book upon his knees.
nyp.33433076054687	But what if she had not?
nyp.33433076054687	But what surprised you so to hear that she and Norris were old friends? ” “ ‘ Friends, ’ is it? ” Dennis exploded.
nyp.33433076054687	But what surprised you so to hear that she and Norris were old friends? ” “ ‘ Friends, ’ is it? ” Dennis exploded.
nyp.33433076054687	But ye know her, ye know how she is? ” There was a pathetically anxious note in his tones and McCarty exclaimed: “ I should say so, sir!
nyp.33433076054687	By the Blessed Saints, where was he?
nyp.33433076054687	Could I get around in front of your garden to the beach? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433076054687	Could it be in con- nection with the murder?
nyp.33433076054687	Denny was alive, even though it seemed like a miracle, but he could n't be on the outside signaling in Why was he under arrest too?
nyp.33433076054687	Denny, here, was just reminding me of it as we got to Dalesboro, but you can give it to us, ca n't you, Mr. Fremont, or — or your cousin, maybe?
nyp.33433076054687	Did Lizzie and the other one go, then? ” “ Yes. ” Buck darted a quick glance at him.
nyp.33433076054687	Did any of it seem to disturb her? ” McCarty continued.
nyp.33433076054687	Did anybody call her up? ” “ I could n't say.
nyp.33433076054687	Did n't I give up my peace- ful, quiet life —? ” “ You did! ” interrupted the other with bitterness.
nyp.33433076054687	Did n't it seem a bit queer to you, ma'am, that she never spoke of her girlhood? ” Mrs. Hatherly stirred impatiently.
nyp.33433076054687	Did n't she, Denny? ” THE YEARS BETWEEN 225 Dennis nodded confirmatively, but he did not venture to speak and the old man observed: “ She did.
nyp.33433076054687	Did she ever suggest any particular place to go that you can remember? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054687	Did she ever use it?
nyp.33433076054687	Did she look as good as when you saw her in the spring? ” “ Oh, yes!
nyp.33433076054687	Did she look real well? ” “ I think she's very well, sir, ” McCarty replied soberly.
nyp.33433076054687	Did you ever hear her speak of a Mrs. Wall? ” “ Mebbe.
nyp.33433076054687	Did you get that search- light that could sweep all the front of the grounds?
nyp.33433076054687	Did you know that she went to meet you on the highroad that night and saw something that made her run home as though all the fiends were after her?
nyp.33433076054687	Did you lamp the two guys back there?
nyp.33433076054687	Did you see any light that might have come from the shack? ” McCarty persisted.
nyp.33433076054687	Do they do it whenever any one goes in or out of the grounds? ” “ Any one they do n't know.
nyp.33433076054687	Do you know anybody that would describe? ” “ It ’s a little vague, is n't it? ” He passed a shaking hand across his forehead.
nyp.33433076054687	Do you know anybody that would describe? ” “ It ’s a little vague, is n't it? ” He passed a shaking hand across his forehead.
nyp.33433076054687	Do you know if she ever speculated in stocks? ” “ I — I could n't say.
nyp.33433076054687	Do you think that murdering fisherman rented us this outfit to get the insurance? ” Dennis did not reply.
nyp.33433076054687	Doc's holdin''em fer the inquest, ai n't he? ” Eb Bartlett nodded sullenly.
nyp.33433076054687	Eh, Denny? ” Dennis agreed with alacrity and cutting short Eph's broken thanks they sent him on ahead of them to the village.
nyp.33433076054687	Feelin'kindo ’ meechin'yit, eh?
nyp.33433076054687	Fergit their names — ” “ Was there a woman with them? ” Doctor Allen interrupted quickly.
nyp.33433076054687	Get me? ” “ Come along. ” Doctor Allen picked up his hat from the table and started for the door.
nyp.33433076054687	Groping for it among the shiny long leaves of the plant which bordered the path, he repeated: “ Young Hatherly?
nyp.33433076054687	Had ever there been a case before with not a conceivable clew and so many loose ends?
nyp.33433076054687	Had it been the last one?
nyp.33433076054687	Had the other been injured?
nyp.33433076054687	Has any one given the coroner an impression that she was an acquaintance of mine? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054687	Hatherly has gone away? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054687	Have n't they got a bungalow further up the shore? ” Thompson nodded.
nyp.33433076054687	Have you and the constable found any trace yet of the murderer? ” Doctor Allen shook his head.
nyp.33433076054687	Have you room, for a couple of friends of mine to stop for a day or two?
nyp.33433076054687	Here's the end of the wall; come on. ” “ Where ’re we going? ” Dennis asked doubtfully.
nyp.33433076054687	Hev you seen the news- papers?
nyp.33433076054687	How about it, my lad?
nyp.33433076054687	How could he convey the question?
nyp.33433076054687	How could we prove that Eph was there at all that night?
nyp.33433076054687	How c’d ye tell the murd’rer lived nigh or far, or that the woman come in a hurry, or that they was n't used to work?
nyp.33433076054687	How did he get there?
nyp.33433076054687	How in the name of all that was incredible had he, Timothy McCarty, come to be where he was, and what had happened to him?
nyp.33433076054687	How long could it have been since the murderer's departure?
nyp.33433076054687	How long had hissing flame and driving rain fought for supremacy while that motionless figure looked on with staring, indifferent eyes?
nyp.33433076054687	How often does she come? ” “ ’ Bout twice a year.
nyp.33433076054687	I ca n't tell you anything more about her — ” “ Is this Miss Fremont? ” McCarty suddenly thrust the purloined photograph beneath her eyes.
nyp.33433076054687	I came to learn if maybe this bandage on my head could n't be exchanged for a bit of plaster? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054687	I do n't mean, but that no matter who she went out to meet and for whatever reason, she might n't have got there? ” “ What in the"McCarty stared.
nyp.33433076054687	I do n't recall that she ever told me so definitely. ” “ And you do n't know where she came from in the beginning?
nyp.33433076054687	I live at the Nurses'Club on West End Avenue, right near you; funny we have n't met,| is n't it?
nyp.33433076054687	I suppose the inquest came to nothing, but have n't any of Mrs. Wall's relations shown up even yet?
nyp.33433076054687	I wonder why that one label is gone and the rest left? ” “ There's a yellow one half gone from this end, too, ” announced Dennis.
nyp.33433076054687	I would n't want Miss Josie to think we had n't kept our word and if so be you've any message for her —? ”!
nyp.33433076054687	I — I hope the boats come in airly. ”- They paused at the gate and Dennis asked: “ What are you going down to the shore for?
nyp.33433076054687	I — I never saw her again! ” “ You had no company for dinner? ” McCarty seemed to be choosing his words with care.
nyp.33433076054687	I — I suppose she was what you might call a lady, was n't she? ” “ Oh, quite!
nyp.33433076054687	I ’d been wrecked fur- ther along the beach somewhere. ” “ From what ship? ” asked the coroner quickly.
nyp.33433076054687	I'll tell you all I can on the way over.—Eb, will you take our friends where we intended to go?
nyp.33433076054687	IDENNIS TAKES THE WHEEL I89 “ You turned and went straight back in the same tracks to the spot nearest that hole? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054687	If he could only gather his scattered wits together and think clearlyl What could be the matter with him, anyhow?
nyp.33433076054687	If the suit he wore has blood stains on it —! ” “ How are you going to find it?
nyp.33433076054687	If you'll give me the answer —? ” 4.
nyp.33433076054687	In all the cases —? ” “ Denny! ” McCarty exclaimed.
nyp.33433076054687	Inspector Druet, hey?

nyp.33433076054687	Is that straight? ” The coroner nodded.
nyp.33433076054687	Is there any clew to- to the murderer? ” Her voice was low and tense.

nyp.33433076054687	It was conceivable that Millie had witnessed the interview between Mrs. Wall and Gilbert Norris, but what could that matter to her?
nyp.33433076054687	Josie's lived thar fer more'n three year. ” “ Where did she board before that?
nyp.33433076054687	Keep me out of it if you can and if you would like to call in to see me in a day or two —? ” McCarty shook his head.
nyp.33433076054687	Maybe you would n't mind if Denny here made a copy of the stubs?
nyp.33433076054687	McCarty slipped the letter back into the mutilated envelope and remarked: “ The Nurses ’ Club, eh?
nyp.33433076054687	Mrs. Wall came a week ago last Saturday, did n't she?
nyp.33433076054687	Mrs. Wall must have been some traveler! ” “ London, and Paris, and Nice, and what's this ‘ Biar — ’ something? ” Dennis shook his head.

nyp.33433076054687	Shall I take it? ” “ Yes! ” McCarty leaned forward, suddenly tense, and Eb Bartlett tweaked his whiskers excitedly.
nyp.33433076054687	Shall we let him pass and then jump him? ” “ For what?

nyp.33433076054687	Suppose he does see us?
nyp.33433076054687	The bed had not been disturbed and the room was empty! ” “ Was n't thar no note, nor nothin’? ” the constable de- manded.
nyp.33433076054687	The falsehood was palpable but what motive lay back of her denial?
nyp.33433076054687	The thing is, what happened to her last night? ” “ We know what happened to her! ” McCarty retorted grimly.
nyp.33433076054687	Then the squall came up and after that the thunder- storm. ” “ Your brother- in- law was not at home, then? ” “ No.

nyp.33433076054687	Wall was n't a very good player, was she? ” McCarty inquired unexpectedly.
nyp.33433076054687	Wall was n't superstitious, at all, I suppose? ” Mrs. Hatherly's sobs ceased and once more she stared at him in amazement.
nyp.33433076054687	Wall? ” The coroner glanced at the constable and then at McCarty.
nyp.33433076054687	Was he dressed the same as when you passed him earlier in the evening on the high- road? ” McCarty took up the inquiry once more.
nyp.33433076054687	Was n't it something terrible?
nyp.33433076054687	Was the schooner due Monday night? ” Eph nodded.
nyp.33433076054687	Was this old blatherskite of a hick talking to him?
nyp.33433076054687	We know she had an income and a pretty big one, that she could be as extravagant as she was, but where did it come from?
nyp.33433076054687	We were great friends but we never discussed business matters. ” “ You judged her to be wealthy, did n't you? ” “ Mrs.

nyp.33433076054687	We're out of it now, but I suppose we're held for the inquest? ” The coroner nodded.
nyp.33433076054687	Were they playing up the mystery in which Mrs. Wall's past seemed to be shrouded?
nyp.33433076054687	What did any- thing matter now?
nyp.33433076054687	What do they know? ” McCarty shook his head.
nyp.33433076054687	What do you want to see me about? ” The words were clipped short and the figure did not move.
nyp.33433076054687	What evidence can Amasa Hite get against him? ” “ Calc’late he c'n work enough to git him indicted, mebbe, ” the constable responded gloomily.
nyp.33433076054687	What firm is it? ” He waited breathlessly for the reply, but Silas Fremont shook his head vaguely.
nyp.33433076054687	What had she seen, there on the highroad?
nyp.33433076054687	What if she had been running home in such haste that she had not even seen the crouching, mouthing figure in the semi- dusk?
nyp.33433076054687	What is it? ” “ Nothing whatever. ” The Ex- Roundsman clamped down on his cigar.
nyp.33433076054687	What kind o'a thing was it, Mister? ” “ Something that shook it to its foundations, if it's got any, ” McCarty responded briefly.
nyp.33433076054687	What kind of work does this Josie do? ” The old man shook his head.
nyp.33433076054687	What luck? ” “ Good as far as it goes, sir, but we're not at the end yet, ” McCarty replied.
nyp.33433076054687	What time was that, by the way? ” “ A little after five, ” Dennis replied bewilderedly.
nyp.33433076054687	What was he doing here and why had he attempted to avoid observation?
nyp.33433076054687	What was she doing in Boston, so conveniently near when she wrote how tired out she was?
nyp.33433076054687	What was the first you knew of it? ” McCarty turned until he sat half facing his host.
nyp.33433076054687	What wild- goose chase could he have gone upon?
nyp.33433076054687	What — what was Eb Bartlett doin'himself down on the shore so late; did he say? ” MCCARTY EXPLORES I27 “ No, ma'am.

nyp.33433076054687	What's up, now? ” McCarty had glanced inadvertently at the watch which the constable had put into his hands, and he uttered a low exclamation.
nyp.33433076054687	What's your idea? ” He turned to McCarty but the latter shrugged.
nyp.33433076054687	When do you expect the answer ought to come to this telegram? ” “ Some time this afternoon.

nyp.33433076054687	“ Did they have any other company? ” “ I did n’t think to ask, ” the coroner confessed.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Did ye opine that from her looks or what else you see in the cabin? ” “ From her clothes, ” McCarty responded.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Did you perform the autopsy, Doctor?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Did you want me? ” “ Only to know if what I ’ve heard is true! ” The man's voice was hoarse and his broad, freshly shaven face twitched.

nyp.33433076054687	“ How could she, when she did n't know anything about the Cape? ” Mrs. Hatherly replied plaintively.

nyp.33433076054687	“ If it's soured I am, I must be getting old like you! ” “ Old, is it? ” McCarty stared.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Is it back you're going to have it out with Norris? ” Dennis demanded excitedly when the bobbing lantern had disappeared down the road.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Is it your hammering and tinkering or the language you're using that's rocking the boat, Denny? ” he in- quired at last.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Is n't that the water I hear just there to the south of us?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Is that the suitcase he was carrying? ” Dennis pointed to a week- end bag of black walrus leather, which stood beside the piano.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Is that the way you always hold the knife and stick of wood that you're whittling from? ” The constable stared.
nyp.33433076054687	“ It is the young woman you were looking for, Mr. Hatherly?
nyp.33433076054687	“ It was you who found poor — poor Mrs. Wall, too, was n't it?
nyp.33433076054687	“ It's a fine day, ma'am, is n't it? ” He laid a dollar bill on the counter.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Look here, you do n’t mean to say that he ca n't give an account of himself? ” “ We have n't asked him yet. ” McCarty paused at the door.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Me? ” He checked an insane desire to laugh.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Mebbe she carried her shoes in her hand an'put them on when she got to the cabin? ” “ I ’ve had'em off, ” the coroner said briefly.
nyp.33433076054687	“ My name is “ Doe. ” 33 “ ‘ Doe, eh? ” Norris laughed shortly.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Not Mrs. Hatherly?

nyp.33433076054687	“ Oh, what does all this matter?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Past Hatherly House? ” McCarty asked quickly.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Plimptonport is the other way, is n’t it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Shall we sit here?

nyp.33433076054687	“ Take a dollar for it? ” But the glitter of his treasure trove had fascinated Sol anew and the quarter was sufficient for his immediate desires.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Teched in the head er somethin', the way you're bangin'things around? ” McCarty scowled at him, wondering if his message had got through.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Tell me, have they found out anything?
nyp.33433076054687	“ That daughter of his must be a fine woman; he talked a lot about her. ” “ Josie?
nyp.33433076054687	“ There is a faint breeze up on the porch, suppose we sit there?
nyp.33433076054687	“ They look enough like her to be her sister, do n't they? ” “ Her sister, yes, or some other relation!
nyp.33433076054687	“ Want me to establish an alibi, do you, Doctor?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Wanted to look 84 THE TORN LABEL 85'round, did they?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Was he hurt bad?—my friend, I mean?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Was it the constable raising the neighborhood after he found me? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Was n't he the last to see her alive of any one we ’ve found and did n't he change his clothes before Eph saw him again?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Was n't it me put you on to him?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Was the woman with ye then or did ye meet her here to the Cove?
nyp.33433076054687	“ We ’re going back after and have a look outside, did n't you say? ” “ I did not, ” returned.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What did you know? ” “ That you were sore because a neighbor of yours was RUCK.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What do you think of that?
nyp.33433076054687	“ What does she look like, Doctor? ” “ Handsome, I should say, when she was alive.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What if he did meet the woman and talk to her, is it a sign he killed her that he did n't mention it afterwards?
nyp.33433076054687	“ What if we are being tailed?
nyp.33433076054687	“ What in the world are you hovering about? ” Dennis stared.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What is it now? ” He sat up and brushed the sand from his eyes.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What the devil? ” “ Did n't you tell me about his watchdogs and say they were better than a lookout?
nyp.33433076054687	“ What the devil? ” “ Did n't you tell me about his watchdogs and say they were better than a lookout?
nyp.33433076054687	“ What time was it, anyway? ” “'Twas an old woman who lives in a bit of a cottage close by.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What was it in the little keg by the door you were monkeying with? ” “ These. ” McCarty disclosed a handful of bent and rusty nails.
nyp.33433076054687	“ What's all this talk about a dead woman and what has the time to do with it and why are we here?
nyp.33433076054687	“ What's that, Jim? ” Doctor Allen was talking into the transmitter.
nyp.33433076054687	“ When do you get- mail here? ” he asked after a pause, as though her questions had never been uttered.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Where is her hus- band? ” “ She was a widow.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Where tew? ” He opened a drawer and produced a yellow label.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Where's your jail? ” inquired McCarty, briskly.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Where've you got Hatherly's car? ” “ In the shed back of the hotel.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Wherever have you been? ” She turned from the stove with a little smile, but the circles about her eyes.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Who do you think I ran into right about here this morning?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Who else was with him in Plimptonport? ” “ Just another stranger, taller an ’ long- sparred.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Who is there? ” he called in a low, clear tone which yet carried above the moaning wind.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Who was the feller let ye the mutter- boat, thar to Plimptonport? ” “ I do n't know his name, did n't ask him.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Who ’s “ Gertrude'? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Who- who is dead? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Why did n't you speak of it in the first place?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Why did she come in such a hurry, or secretly, or else after changing her mind at the last minute? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054687	“ With Miss Millie?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Wo n't you sit down?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Woman dropped it when she run.—Why do n't ye run?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Would you think there were so many people left in the world and so much doing?
nyp.33433076054687	“ Ye killed this here poor critter, did ye? ” McCarty had obeyed the injunction mechanically; but the last question roused him from his lethargy.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Ye'd let me go? ” “ If you'll come through with the truth.
nyp.33433076054687	“ Yes, she arrived a week ago last Saturday. ” “ Where is she from? ” 70 McCARTY INCOG.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You do n't think we ’ve sprung a leak, by any chance? ” Dennis paused in his labors to wipe his brow and glanced about him.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You drove without lights yourself after you got clear of the marsh, did n't you? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You have n't seen any- thing of my friend Denny?
nyp.33433076054687	“ You identify the deceased as a woman named Josetta Wall?
nyp.33433076054687	“ You live near that shack, then, sir? ” McCarty asked respectfully.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You mean the night that — that you were wrecked in the storm?
nyp.33433076054687	“ You positively identify this man, Capt'n Pickens? ” A deeper note of authority had come into the coroner's tones.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You want to get the telegraph office first, do n't you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You will take care of her for me, Doctor?
nyp.33433076054687	“ You ’ll say nothing about it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054687	“ You ’re a friend of this young woman, you say? ” “ An acquaintance.
nyp.33433076054687	“ ‘ Dark and pretty, and from the city, ’ ” she re- peated as if to herself, then added quickly: “ It ’s dread- ful, is n't it?

nyp.33433076042310	After all, what was death?
nyp.33433076042310	All my work has been done in London, and I'm too old to change. ” “ I should have thought nature would have in- spired you — ” “ Should you?
nyp.33433076042310	All the same, I'm sorry. ” “ But why?
nyp.33433076042310	Altogether it's a pretty puzzling affair. ” You did n’t give evidence — you were not called? ” Lady Chelford asked.
nyp.33433076042310	Am I changed?
nyp.33433076042310	Am I to be held up to public scorn and contempt?
nyp.33433076042310	Am I very selfish? ” he added, as she did not answer.
nyp.33433076042310	And have you any answer? ” “ I ’ve three in my mind, ” he said, “ any one of which might fit. ” Her face changed.
nyp.33433076042310	And how much would she care?
nyp.33433076042310	And it was he? ” “ Yes, we had a struggle and the weapon went off.
nyp.33433076042310	And when do you go to this paragon? ”.
nyp.33433076042310	And yet, if Monck was all right, why did n't he come out when I called?
nyp.33433076042310	Are you happy? ” “ Quite, thank you.
nyp.33433076042310	Are you still mourning for the man who should have been noth- ing to you? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076042310	Are you there?
nyp.33433076042310	Are you tired of me?
nyp.33433076042310	Blake will be among the number to offer advice. ” “ I suppose Lilah's evidence was rather important?
nyp.33433076042310	But I wonder I never betrayed myself. ” “ Are you sure you never did?
nyp.33433076042310	But a claim — it is absurd — pre- posterous! ” 228 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY “ Is it?

nyp.33433076042310	But what is it?
nyp.33433076042310	But what specters are THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 257 you conjuring up?
nyp.33433076042310	But who then?

nyp.33433076042310	Ca n't you speak?
nyp.33433076042310	Can you come down? ” he said in a low tone.
nyp.33433076042310	Can you wonder that I shut myself up and lived like a recluse?
nyp.33433076042310	Could it be that he was not such a well- trained machine as he had thought himself?
nyp.33433076042310	Could it ever be made whole again?

nyp.33433076042310	Gilbert? ” “ Nothing, ” she said, and her mouth closed like a Snap.
nyp.33433076042310	Had he judged Johnson better than she had?

nyp.33433076042310	Have you no pity?
nyp.33433076042310	Have you no shame? ” She got up trembling from head to foot.
nyp.33433076042310	He could n't bear to part with me, he said. ” “ Still I do n't understand. ” “ Why I stayed?
nyp.33433076042310	He could persuade you against your better reason. ” “ What was it you did n't like in him? ” Gilbert asked.
nyp.33433076042310	He had answered it in Monck's name?
nyp.33433076042310	He had been only a summer visitor, a passer- through, who did not belong to the soil, so why should he lie there — a stranger among them?
nyp.33433076042310	He had n’t the look of a married man, had he? ” “ But — but when did you know?
nyp.33433076042310	He had n’t the look of a married man, had he? ” “ But — but when did you know?
nyp.33433076042310	He is in love with Monck's wife. ” “ What? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433076042310	He made enemies more easily than friends. ” º “ I wonder why his wife left him? ” “ You take it for granted that she did.
nyp.33433076042310	He might have been cleaning the weapon and forgotten it was loaded?
nyp.33433076042310	He must have been dead when I wrote. ” “ Did you go into his room? ” Lady Chelford asked suddenly.
nyp.33433076042310	He spoke again, copying Monck's voice as nearly as he could – “ Yes?
nyp.33433076042310	He wants you to get back your old happy self. ” “ And he thinks a week or two's change will give it to me? ” She laughed gently.
nyp.33433076042310	He was all for the world, and she ap- pears to be something of a recluse. ” “ Do you know her? ” in astonishment.
nyp.33433076042310	He was n't good enough for her. ” “ Peggy Fenchurch? ” She laughed.
nyp.33433076042310	He — Mr. Monck is dead. ” “ Dead? ” he exclaimed in amazement.
nyp.33433076042310	He's been very good, has n’t he, so wo n't you do something to please him?
nyp.33433076042310	He- 2x “ Is it possible —? ” she began.
nyp.33433076042310	Her only chance would be if she were indifferent. ” “ And that Miss Blake certainly was not. ” “ How does she take his death?
nyp.33433076042310	How could I do too much for you — if you loved me?
nyp.33433076042310	How could he care for her? ” “ Oh, they have been friends for some time, and she sent for him almost as soon as she came down.
nyp.33433076042310	How could you help it?
nyp.33433076042310	How dare you? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	How did she look? ” she asked abruptly.
nyp.33433076042310	How do I know that the regard you possess for Sir Gilbert is any more real than the other?
nyp.33433076042310	How do you know what you may find?
nyp.33433076042310	How do you know — ” “ Is it worth while to pretend now?
nyp.33433076042310	How is that?
nyp.33433076042310	How much did people see and know where she was going?
nyp.33433076042310	I am very glad. ” “ Are you?
nyp.33433076042310	I am very sorry for you — if you do n’t mind my saying so. ” “ That is kind of you. ” Was there a suspicion of sarcasm in the quiet voice?
nyp.33433076042310	I could look after you better then. ” “ And spend our honeymoon in the shadow of the prison walls? ” She shuddered.
nyp.33433076042310	I daresay that's true enough. ” “ Where is his mother?
nyp.33433076042310	I do n’t under- stand, why was it all kept such a secret?
nyp.33433076042310	I hate to think that gossip should be busy with your name — your father's name. ” “ Dear Mother, ” he said gently, “ why anticipate evil?
nyp.33433076042310	I hope you're not in any trouble?
nyp.33433076042310	I mean if it had been all planned and thought out, the person would have left the weapon behind?
nyp.33433076042310	I meant — I do n't exactly know what I did mean, only life's a queer jumble, is n’t it?
nyp.33433076042310	I only promised to be silent so long as my silence did not injure anybody. ” THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 205 “ And what about me? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	I probably should if I could myself. ” “ I can do no good. ” “ I wonder?
nyp.33433076042310	I said I was ready to break with all the old ties and — and I waited for him to speak. ” “ What did he say? ” Lilah began to laugh wildly.
nyp.33433076042310	I should like to order you to bed and send'..... the doctor. ” 92 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY “ Who can “ minister to a mind diseased?

nyp.33433076042310	I suppose they're sending somebody from Scotland Yard?
nyp.33433076042310	I was only a ser- vant; what could I say or do?
nyp.33433076042310	I was patient as long as you were tied, but you are free now. ” “ Am I?
nyp.33433076042310	I will say nothing as long as there is no danger to anybody else. ” “ What do you mean? ” And the fear that had gone for a minute flashed back.
nyp.33433076042310	I wonder if I ever did?
nyp.33433076042310	I wonder if that will turn out to be of importance if — ” “ No, why should it? ” she interrupted.
nyp.33433076042310	I wonder why you did it?
nyp.33433076042310	I wonder?
nyp.33433076042310	I ’ve no feeling for him, no kindness, no regret — how could I have?
nyp.33433076042310	I ’ve tried, but it seems no use. ” “ You ’ve tried what? ” “ Tried to forget, to be my old self, to — to do my duty. ”- He sighed.
nyp.33433076042310	I ’ve wondered some- times what your thoughts have been – if they were not harder than your words? ” He looked at her in surprise.
nyp.33433076042310	I'm afraid it was a knock- down blow. ” “ And his wife? ” “ She takes it bravely, poor woman, but Gilbert said he could n't bear to see her.
nyp.33433076042310	If I am shocked at his death, if I think of him as he was once, of what he might have been, is n't it only human — only nat- ural?
nyp.33433076042310	If anybody saw his face now, they might think — what?
nyp.33433076042310	If he and I had both been free, who can say what might have happened?
nyp.33433076042310	If it's not quite the same as it was, you do care still, do n't you?
nyp.33433076042310	If she made him happy, surely that would go a long way towards atonement?
nyp.33433076042310	If this had n't hap- 300 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY “ An accident? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076042310	If you are in trouble I should like to help you. ” “ What makes you say that?
nyp.33433076042310	Is he – is he terribly upset? ” “ I am afraid he is, ” Mr. Blake said slowly.
nyp.33433076042310	Is n't it rather late to warn me against him?
nyp.33433076042310	Is n't it time you thought of yourself — and of me?
nyp.33433076042310	Is she coming down? ” “ No, she's quite ill with the shock.
nyp.33433076042310	Is that you? ” He gave a violent start and nearly dropped the receiver.
nyp.33433076042310	It looks as though the person knew Monck or his habits pretty well, or how should he have known that he kept a revolver?
nyp.33433076042310	It might be of the utmost importance — a question of life or death. ” “ Why should n't he have been alive when you called?
nyp.33433076042310	It seems reasonable. ” “ Why think of such things?
nyp.33433076042310	It shall be as you wish. ” “ But you wish it too?
nyp.33433076042310	It will come hard on you to put anybody in his place. ” “ In his place? ” Johnson waited a moment.
nyp.33433076042310	It ’ll soon be put right. ” “ But what is it — why do n't you speak?
nyp.33433076042310	It'd be a bit of luck for him. ” “ Have you any idea, any suspicion as to how it happened — who could have done it?
nyp.33433076042310	It's a horrible, senseless sacrifice. ” “ You say so often that Mr. Fenchurch is innocent THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 287 — how do you know?
nyp.33433076042310	It's all happened so suddenly, I feel half stunned. ” “ What did I tell you? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	It's not for me to say. ” “ And was she all he had belonging to him?
nyp.33433076042310	It's not such a cold heart — is it?
nyp.33433076042310	It's unpleasant, of course — all anonymous letters are; but why do you attach so much importance to it?
nyp.33433076042310	Johnson is a man of the world, why should he elect to bury himself in a vil- lage, however charming?
nyp.33433076042310	Johnson is n’t a common servant, and he may have expensive tastes — something in the background — who knows?
nyp.33433076042310	Let's talk of ourselves — that's much more interest- ing. ” “ But how did he know?
nyp.33433076042310	Lilah, do n't you care any more?
nyp.33433076042310	Lilah, it ca n’t go on like this. ” “ What do you want? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076042310	May I ask who the gentleman is, madam? ” “ Do n’t you know?
nyp.33433076042310	May I ask who the gentleman is, madam? ” “ Do n’t you know?
nyp.33433076042310	May I think it over?
nyp.33433076042310	More than once I lost every penny I had in the world. ” “ Did Mr. Monck know? ” “ Yes, sir, ” with a half smile.
nyp.33433076042310	Nobody knows you went to the cottage, so why should you speak of it?
nyp.33433076042310	Not old Mrs. Monck, she was too young, her move- ments were too light and active; could it be — the Wife?
nyp.33433076042310	Nothing gone wrong, I hope? ” The old voice grew eager with expectation.
nyp.33433076042310	Now I wonder what it means. ” “ Why should it mean anything?
nyp.33433076042310	Obviously, for reasons we do not See? ’ ’ ’ “ You said we should not trust the obvious. ” But Mr. Blake pretended not to hear.
nyp.33433076042310	Of course you have come to say something — something special, I mean? ” She looked at her with eager eyes.
nyp.33433076042310	Of whom, or what were you thinking? ” “ Of nobody in particular.
nyp.33433076042310	Or had I better write? ” “ No, go, ” he said a little sharply.
nyp.33433076042310	Or is it only that you are angry and bitter with all the world?
nyp.33433076042310	Perhaps it will make your mind easier if I tell you that Mr. Monck was a married man. ” “ What did you say?
nyp.33433076042310	Perhaps some day I shall forgive him, but I ca n't yet. ” “ Do you think it's wise to talk like that?
nyp.33433076042310	Queer, is n't it?
nyp.33433076042310	Richard Fenchurch was a typical speci-** 114 116 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY too, sir?
nyp.33433076042310	Shall I go and fetch somebody — I must do something?
nyp.33433076042310	She caught some of the words: “ Did they love as I love when they lived by the sea?
nyp.33433076042310	She could n't bear to think that nobody be- longing to him should be here. ” “ What did she say about it? ” “ About his death, do you mean?
nyp.33433076042310	She could n't bear to think that nobody be- longing to him should be here. ” “ What did she say about it? ” “ About his death, do you mean?
nyp.33433076042310	She had been tied to him like a slave — such things ought not to be. ” “ I was sorry for Peggy too; I wonder what she will do now?
nyp.33433076042310	She had devoted her life to him; was all to count for nothing now?
nyp.33433076042310	She had evidently suspected something, or why had n't she answered?
nyp.33433076042310	She had said: “ I wonder what my life will be like when you have gone out of it?
nyp.33433076042310	She has n’t anybody to talk to at home; you know what her father is. ” “ Is that the end of it? ” Peggy asked presently.
nyp.33433076042310	She must go and see Mrs. Monck; she must see her just because she was Basil's mother, because — what was the use of denying it?
nyp.33433076042310	She remembered how one day — could it be only a few weeks ago?
nyp.33433076042310	Should n’t we always be wonder- ing what had happened?
nyp.33433076042310	So much comfort you gave me — it was little enough. ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433076042310	So you think he was spoilt, eh? ” “ Yes, perhaps, I spoke without thinking.
nyp.33433076042310	Sooner or later, fight and struggle as one might, one had to go, and if a little sooner, what matter when life had lost its savor?
nyp.33433076042310	THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 19 “ Till yesterday? ” It came more like a breath than a whisper.
nyp.33433076042310	THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 225 “ Do you remember, ” she said, “ that when we parted I said'au revoir'not'good- bye'?
nyp.33433076042310	THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 245 “ You ’re not going to tell me what kept you to- gether?
nyp.33433076042310	Tell me the truth at last. ” “ Why do you torture me? ” she said again.
nyp.33433076042310	That is, any- thing suspicious or mysterious?
nyp.33433076042310	There are others who are nearer and dearer, who come first now. ” “ Then they did not always?
nyp.33433076042310	There is no evidence 242 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY “ I, miss?
nyp.33433076042310	There is something I must tell you. ” “ Ca n't you leave me in quiet for a little while? ” she asked wearily.
nyp.33433076042310	There's nothing that can really be called a clue, as far as I know. ” “ Are you going to help me?
nyp.33433076042310	There's nothing the matter? ” “ He is n't exactly ill, but I'm afraid there's a good deal the matter.
nyp.33433076042310	Therefore, why should he mortify himself by re- maining here?
nyp.33433076042310	They found out that Mr. Fenchurch came to the cottage the night before, and then it was all up. ” “ How did they discover that?
nyp.33433076042310	Was he expecting somebody, and did he want him out of the way?
nyp.33433076042310	Was he trying to get you away from me, and — and were you willing to go? ” “ No!
nyp.33433076042310	Was it that that came between us?
nyp.33433076042310	Was that another proof of the bond between them?
nyp.33433076042310	Was there any hope?
nyp.33433076042310	Was there nobody else? ” “ His mother — old Mrs. Monck.
nyp.33433076042310	We are not let off much, are we, even in this world?
nyp.33433076042310	We have both paid dearly for our folly. ” “ Then you think his death was a punishment? — an act of revenge? ” He was watching her closely.

nyp.33433076042310	Well, why do n’t you say it?
nyp.33433076042310	Well?
nyp.33433076042310	Were there not lines in her face — a look in her eyes — that no years, however happy, could obliterate now?
nyp.33433076042310	What bearing would that have on the case?
nyp.33433076042310	What can I do for you? ” “ You are in a hurry to be gone.
nyp.33433076042310	What chance would you have of finding him? ” “ I must go on, I ca n’t stop to think of the chances, I must keep on.
nyp.33433076042310	What claim has she on your kindness?
nyp.33433076042310	What could have become of his letter?—Who could have taken it?
nyp.33433076042310	What could have become of it?
nyp.33433076042310	What could have changed it like that?
nyp.33433076042310	What could she have to say to him that he – the man she had promised to marry — had not the right to hear?"
nyp.33433076042310	What could they say when you — the man I was to marry — showed no doubt or dissatisfaction?
nyp.33433076042310	What did he mean?
nyp.33433076042310	What did it all mean?
nyp.33433076042310	What did it mean?
nyp.33433076042310	What did she mean?
nyp.33433076042310	What did she want here?
nyp.33433076042310	What did you do? ” “ I snatched the revolver he was cleaning out of his hand meaning to kill myself — or him.
nyp.33433076042310	What did you expect Fletcher to find out?
nyp.33433076042310	What difference will it make?
nyp.33433076042310	What do they say?
nyp.33433076042310	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076042310	What do you want me to do? ” “ Say nothing of your visit to the cottage that night.
nyp.33433076042310	What does Lilah say? ” “ Natura'y she is very much upset.
nyp.33433076042310	What does it mean? ” She shrugged her shoulders.
nyp.33433076042310	What does it mean? ” “ I know no more than you do.
nyp.33433076042310	What does that mean?
nyp.33433076042310	What gave you the idea?
nyp.33433076042310	What good would it do?
nyp.33433076042310	What had Johnson meant?
nyp.33433076042310	What had happened?
nyp.33433076042310	What had he done? ” “ Well, you're sure to hear about it, so I may as well tell you.
nyp.33433076042310	What harm could a hundred such letters do me? ” She clung to his arm and lifted her white face to his.
nyp.33433076042310	What has hap- pened? ” “ Perhaps it's the wine, ” he suggested, taking up 124 V THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY the wicker- cased bottle.
nyp.33433076042310	What have you got there? ” she cried.
nyp.33433076042310	What is going to happen, do you think?
nyp.33433076042310	What is he to you?
nyp.33433076042310	What is it? ” But still all was silent.
nyp.33433076042310	What is the good of anything now?
nyp.33433076042310	What is the matter?
nyp.33433076042310	What is the trouble? ” “ It ’s about Mr. Fenchurch. ” “ You mean the man who has been arrested for the murder of my son? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076042310	What is the trouble? ” “ It ’s about Mr. Fenchurch. ” “ You mean the man who has been arrested for the murder of my son? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076042310	What made you hide it? ” “ I thought it might be useful.
nyp.33433076042310	What more was to come?
nyp.33433076042310	What motive could he have?
nyp.33433076042310	What right had she to come and torment her?
nyp.33433076042310	What should he do?
nyp.33433076042310	What should she do with them all?
nyp.33433076042310	What was he going to do?
nyp.33433076042310	What was he going to hear?
nyp.33433076042310	What was he going to say?
nyp.33433076042310	What was it all about?
nyp.33433076042310	What was she expected to say or do?
nyp.33433076042310	What was the result? ” “ He ’s never seen it, he's never likely to now.
nyp.33433076042310	What will the end be?
nyp.33433076042310	What wonder if retribution overtook him at last?
nyp.33433076042310	What's the matter?
nyp.33433076042310	Whatever else he was, I should n't say he was a coward. ” “ You allow him one redeeming point, then?
nyp.33433076042310	When do you go back to Ferrybridge? ” she asked, closing the subject.
nyp.33433076042310	Where are you? ” There was no answer.
nyp.33433076042310	Where could he be going so late?
nyp.33433076042310	Where was he? ” They looked at one another for a moment in silence.
nyp.33433076042310	Where's peace to be found?
nyp.33433076042310	Who could be moving about so late?
nyp.33433076042310	Who could have done it? — why?
nyp.33433076042310	Who could have done it? — why?
nyp.33433076042310	Who could have sent it?
nyp.33433076042310	Who could it be at this hour?
nyp.33433076042310	Who could take it? ” “ Oh, everybody is n't so squeamish — no reason why they should be.
nyp.33433076042310	Who is the third person?
nyp.33433076042310	Who knows if she had been ten minutes later — ” “ What's the use of speculating? ” Gilbert inter- rupted, irritably.
nyp.33433076042310	Who pays any attention to anonymous letters?
nyp.33433076042310	Who was it said that?
nyp.33433076042310	Who will help me if you do n't? ” “ I ’d do anything in the world for you, you know that.
nyp.33433076042310	Who would not have been kind?
nyp.33433076042310	Who, because you were a woman and could not call him to account, let you go down into the depths of humiliation?
nyp.33433076042310	Why could n't you keep quiet?
nyp.33433076042310	Why did n't she speak?
nyp.33433076042310	Why did she call him “ Basil ” secretly?
nyp.33433076042310	Why did you never speak of it? ” “ Why should I?
nyp.33433076042310	Why did you never speak of it? ” “ Why should I?
nyp.33433076042310	Why do you ask? ” “ Well, I do n’t want to give you away.
nyp.33433076042310	Why do you keep me in suspense? ” “ It ’s Fenchurch, ” he said, “ is n't it absurd?

nyp.33433076042310	Why have you said nothing?
nyp.33433076042310	Why not give it up?
nyp.33433076042310	Why not let bygones be bygones?
nyp.33433076042310	Why not let it rest?
nyp.33433076042310	Why not make up your mind to have done with the past? ” “ It is n't so easy; ghosts have strong hands, you know, and they drag me back.
nyp.33433076042310	Why should I deny it? ” hotly.
nyp.33433076042310	Why should I lie to you?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should I pretend otherwise?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should I say I was there if I were not?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should I?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should anybody send such a letter to you?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should he have stayed so long unless he were happy and com- fortable?

nyp.33433076042310	Why should n't I be? ” “ Why not, indeed?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should she waste any more of her life?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should we run away as though — as though we were afraid? ” The man made no answer.
nyp.33433076042310	Why should you be in such a 20 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY state of misery, almost collapse, unless this man were more to you than a mere friend?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should you mind me?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should you regret him so passionately?
nyp.33433076042310	Why should you take duties on yourself that nobody could say you owe?
nyp.33433076042310	Why was she wanted?
nyp.33433076042310	Why, what do you think? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076042310	Why?
nyp.33433076042310	Why? ” “ Well, I suppose because they could just stay here, sir, and go on as usual.
nyp.33433076042310	Will that do?
nyp.33433076042310	Will you have a glass of wine? ” “ Do you think I could eat or drink in your house? ” Mrs. Monck shrugged her shoulders.

nyp.33433076042310	Wo n't you congratulate me? ” The next minute he had gone back to his old manner; he was a servant again.
nyp.33433076042310	Wo n't you trust me? ” “ What do you want me to say?
nyp.33433076042310	Wo n't you trust me? ” “ What do you want me to say?

nyp.33433076042310	Would n't it be better to put a stop to it, for your sake as well as mine?
nyp.33433076042310	Would n't they have asked some awkward questions? ” 246 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY “ No doubt. ” She looked at him closely.
nyp.33433076042310	Would they go back to the old peace and contentment, or were other troubles in store?
nyp.33433076042310	Would you like your freedom? ” “ No!

nyp.33433076042310	You have n't told me all yet, I daresay, but how does it alter things?
nyp.33433076042310	You may have answered another ring, how do I know?
nyp.33433076042310	You must give me a little time, that's all. ” “ You are sure there's nothing I can do?
nyp.33433076042310	You must have taken the matter very much to heart. ” “ I have — we both have. ” “ What did Sir Gilbert say?
nyp.33433076042310	You see that, do n’t you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076042310	You think I ’m right, do n't you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076042310	You were in the middle of preparations for your marriage then, do you re- member?
nyp.33433076042310	You wo n’t let him drag you into a quarrel? ” “ I shall avoid any open breach if possible, for Lilah's sake, ” he had answered quietly.
nyp.33433076042310	You would n't help me I know from love, but ca n't I get you any other way?
nyp.33433076042310	You would n't suspect me, would you?
nyp.33433076042310	You would n't think he'd have gone down like that without a struggle, would you?
nyp.33433076042310	You'll be coming soon — why do you speak like that? ” “ Shall I?
nyp.33433076042310	You'll be coming soon — why do you speak like that? ” “ Shall I?
nyp.33433076042310	You'll be on the spot, and able to see all that goes on. ”- “ You think, madam, that it was somebody in Ferrybridge who did it? ” “ Yes, I do.
nyp.33433076042310	You'll laugh then to think of how you fright- ened yourself with ghosts. ” THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY 199/ “ Ghosts? ” sharply.
nyp.33433076042310	You're a clever woman, and I should be glad of your assistance. ” “ What could I do?
nyp.33433076042310	You're happy? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433076042310	You're not doing this only to please me?
nyp.33433076042310	You're such a child compared to me; how can I make it plain?
nyp.33433076042310	all this trouble on your own initiative?
nyp.33433076042310	do n't you understand? ” “ No, I do n't think I do, ” he said half sullenly.

nyp.33433076042310	— Did I?
nyp.33433076042310	— He is n't worth your remembrance. ” “ And what, ” passionately, “ has his ‘ worth'to do with it? ” Irma was silent for a minute.
nyp.33433076042310	— Monck married?
nyp.33433076042310	— What are you afraid of? ” He pulled her down into the chair, holding her close to him.
nyp.33433076042310	— Why did she keep him in this agony of suspense?
nyp.33433076042310	— for what reason?
nyp.33433076042310	— how came you to think of such a thing? ” “ I knew my son admired you very much.
nyp.33433076042310	— how did he find out? ” she said when they got outside.
nyp.33433076042310	— that I dreamed of him as the Fairy Prince? ” She laughed again.
nyp.33433076042310	— that I was thankful to cut myself off from him and all that belonged to him?
nyp.33433076042310	— that the advice you have given me is genuine? ” He put his hand inside his coat, and took out a pocket- book.
nyp.33433076042310	— what news did he bring? ” she questioned.
nyp.33433076042310	— what's the matter?
nyp.33433076042310	— you wo n't help me, after all I have said? ” “ My dear, it has been most interesting, the best talk we've had.
nyp.33433076042310	“ After six years?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Am I not right?
nyp.33433076042310	“ An omelette au rhum, Lolette? ” and Lolette said she would.
nyp.33433076042310	“ And, at heart, I was a sinner; is that what you want to say?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Anything hap- pened? ” She looked up with a start.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Are you going to waste more of your life?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Are you turning against him too?
nyp.33433076042310	“ At your age, with so much life before us, why do you say such things?
nyp.33433076042310	“ But what has happened?
nyp.33433076042310	“ But what is it?
nyp.33433076042310	“ But why — what in heaven's name made you put up with it? ” Gilbert asked.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Ca n't you spare me for a day at least?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Can you forgive me? ” he said to Irma.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Can you listen to me?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Could he do anything, have they done any good? ” He shook his head.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Dick, whom do they suspect?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Did I startle you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Did he answer?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Did n't he pay — did n't he suffer for his sins? ” Johnson laughed.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do I know all the talk — the whispers — the half- spoken words?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do n’t you know that there's no beautifier like happiness?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do n’t you think it would be much worse to go out and leave all that?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do n’t you think you might as well finish? ” she said, – “ get it off your mind?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do n’t you think you might as well finish? ” she said, – “ get it off your mind?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do you know what you're talking about? ” he said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do you remember his laugh — the laugh of a boy?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Do you want anything? ” Lilah had turned away and an- swered a little curtly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Funny? ” Mr. Blake repeated in an offended tone, “ I do n't see anything funny about it, myself.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Go where? ” He was tired out, he had been in town all day, rush- ing about and seeing people.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Have n’t you and yours done enough?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Have you for- gotten?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Have you forgotten? ” he said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Have you no thought — no care for me?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Have you quite forgotten what he was to you not so many months ago? ” “ What do you mean? ” Lilah asked quickly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Have you quite forgotten what he was to you not so many months ago? ” “ What do you mean? ” Lilah asked quickly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ He has been less than nothing to you for so many years, why should he come again into your life be- cause he is dead?
nyp.33433076042310	“ He is n't ill?
nyp.33433076042310	“ He ’s not satisfied with his own man. ” “ Indeed? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433076042310	“ How could you suggest it?
nyp.33433076042310	“ How do you know that? ” she asked in a low tone.
nyp.33433076042310	“ I am to look on and say nothing — to coun- tenance a lie even if I do n't tell it? ” “ You are very unkind.
nyp.33433076042310	“ I shall say it was Basil, and who should know if I do n't?
nyp.33433076042310	“ I suppose we were all sound asleep when you came in last night? ” she said to Gilbert at breakfast.
nyp.33433076042310	“ I suppose, ” she added, “ that she wo n't mind see- ing me?
nyp.33433076042310	“ I wonder how long he'll be? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433076042310	“ I wonder how often we have heard that? ” she said, and the smile was a little wistful.
nyp.33433076042310	“ I wonder what she would say if she knew what I have here? ” he was thinking.
nyp.33433076042310	“ If he's released, why should you say any- thing?
nyp.33433076042310	“ If necessary, madam, will you be kind enough to speak for me in the circumstances?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Indeed?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Indeed?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Indeed? ” he said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Indeed? ” she said slowly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Is it — will this make any difference? ” It's bound to, ” he said gloomily.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Is n't it awful?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Is that you, Basil?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Is there anything new?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Is there such a place?
nyp.33433076042310	“ It's about Sir Gilbert, miss. ” “ What about him? ” she asked hastily.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Johnson? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Johnson? ” “ Yes, did n't it occur to you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Johnson? ” “ Yes, did n't it occur to you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Lilah, you know what is worrying me — have n't you anything to say?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Loved him, were you going to say? ” Mrs. Monck asked softly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ May I speak to you a minute? ” she said, and 76 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY Lilah stopped in surprise.
nyp.33433076042310	“ May I speak to you, miss?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Mother darling, you do n’t mean that?
nyp.33433076042310	“ My dear, why do you trouble so much about this man?
nyp.33433076042310	“ No?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Of course it's early to speak of such things yet, but I wondered if you would come to me presently when you are free?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Of course you've heard? ” he said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Oh, is that you, Johnson?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Overlook it? ” he repeated savagely.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Really? ” he said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ So the circumstances are the same, are they? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Some- body's always in the hall, or on the stairs, or some- where. ” “ But what does that matter? ” he had asked with an indulgent laugh.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Surely that is of more importance than anything else?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Tell me, ” she said after a minute, “ how does he take it?
nyp.33433076042310	“ The first question, ” he said complacently, is: — ‘ Who did it? ’ ” “ Well, certainly, that does seem the most impor- tant.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Then why bother so much about him?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Then you wo n't have me, Gilbert?
nyp.33433076042310	“ There is something behind us more than blind chance, do n't you think?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Think of him? ” Lady Chelford repeated a little surprised.
nyp.33433076042310	“ We shall be safe there. ” “ You have heard —? ” he began as soon as they got outside.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Well, what do you think of it? ” he asked, as she put the letter back in the envelope without a word.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Well, ” came the toneless voice, sounding so far off, “ well, what do you think of me?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Well, ” she said, as he went in, “ well, what has happened?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Well? ” he said anxiously.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Well? ” she said breathlessly, as he did not speak- “ Well* Mr. Blake sat down.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Were you very late in? ” “ No, a little after eleven, that's all.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What about the wedding? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What are they saying among themselves? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What are you looking at, Lill? ” her father called out when he came along presently.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What are you talking about? ” “ About my master — Mr.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you mean? ” she stammered.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you think of Johnson? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you think of it? ” “ What is it? ” she asked languidly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you think of it? ” “ What is it? ” she asked languidly.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you think would have happened if the police had found it instead of me?
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you want to know? ” she asked in a dull, mechanical tone, almost as though she were hypno- tised.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What do you want? ”- “ You are not rich, and I would pay you well.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What does she want? ” “ I do n’t know, miss.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What is it, dear? ” she had said once.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What is it, mother?
nyp.33433076042310	“ What is it?
nyp.33433076042310	“ What is it? ” “ It ’s a letter Sir Gilbert wrote to Mr. Monck and posted the night of his death.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What need ” he thought “ had he to trouble now? ” Monck had paid for his sins and follies — paid heavily.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What was he doing there?
nyp.33433076042310	“ What was my son to you? ” “ A traitor and a coward, ” came the swift, fierce reply.
nyp.33433076042310	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Who is it? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Who is the lady that arrived just now? ” he asked a stableman loafing outside.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Whom do they suspect?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why ca n’t you trust me?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why did n't you show it to them?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why do I go back? ” His blood quickened, and he grew more alive.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why do you stand on ceremony?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why has nobody thought of that? ” “ Do you think it likely, miss?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why has nobody thought of that? ” “ Do you think it likely, miss?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why not, sir? ” and his voice rose fiercely.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why should n't it have been an accident?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why should n't it have been an accident? ” she said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why should you think that?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why wo n't you trust me? ” he said.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why, do n't you like him?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why, what's the matter, Dick?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Why? ” “ Because he was almost as much your master as he was mine.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Will it look strange? ” She drew her breath hard.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Will she wonder why I have come? ” Lilah asked herself.
nyp.33433076042310	“ You are choosing your trousseau? ” 148 THE FERRYBRIDGE MYSTERY “ Yes. ” “ A delightful occupation.
nyp.33433076042310	“ You are going to see the police now?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You are mistaken — what should be wrong?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You do n’t think it can be paid for in any other way? ” “ No — do you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You do n’t think it can be paid for in any other way? ” “ No — do you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You know?—you under- stand?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You must not en- courage such morbid ideas. ” “ I wonder what she — Miss Blake thinks of it?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You remember, ” he said in a low tone, “ what happened — that I was there?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You said you were at the cottage over half an hour — did you see or hear nothing? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433076042310	“ You see the likeness? ” “ Yes — yes. ” She shrank back, but the fierce old eyes seemed to cling to her face.
nyp.33433076042310	“ You want to know what Fenchurch would have gained by killing Monck?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You will do nothing?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You will see him now, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You wonder why I sent for you?
nyp.33433076042310	“ You ’re glad to go? ” “ Yes, madam. ” “ Very well.
nyp.33433076042310	“ Your duty to me, do you mean?
nyp.33433076042310	“ Your son fascinated me for a time, al- most wrecked my happiness — do I owe him any thanks for that?
nyp.33433076054612	- “ What if that needle had not been poisoned in the sense you mean?
nyp.33433076054612	- “ You are feeling better? ” he asked courteously.
nyp.33433076054612	86 UNSEEN HANDS downstairs? ” Odell's tone was scornful and Jane bridled beneath it.
nyp.33433076054612	Ai n't I tellin'youse he's out for de count?
nyp.33433076054612	Always travels around with men much younger than himself, does n't he? ” The attorney's lips set in a stiff line.
nyp.33433076054612	And Julian; what terrible influence could have made him slash his throat in just that vital spot?
nyp.33433076054612	And Richard, Mr. Lorne, who could want to harm him?
nyp.33433076054612	And the opinions I ’ve expressed to you of my family are n't exactly dutiful; are they?
nyp.33433076054612	And where do you think she WHAT RANNIE KNEW 185 wound up?
nyp.33433076054612	Any news of that butler, Peters? ” “ Not yet, but I ’m having his sister's house watched.
nyp.33433076054612	Any sudden noise? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076054612	Anything I can do for you? ” He was plainly flustered.
nyp.33433076054612	Anything in the rest of these notes of a threatening nature? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	Are n't we each asking ourselves: ‘ Will I be the next?
nyp.33433076054612	Are there any extensions? ” “ Only one, and that is in my sister's room, ” Miss Meade replied.
nyp.33433076054612	Are you sure of it? ” “ Yes, sir, both hands.
nyp.33433076054612	As for the police, what have I to do with them?
nyp.33433076054612	As the attorney paid them, he asked: “ Who is your boss?
nyp.33433076054612	At whom could she have been looking with murder in her eyes when the hunchback came upon her, as he had said?
nyp.33433076054612	BLOODY HANDS 69 “ See any difference in the color? ” Odell persisted.
nyp.33433076054612	Beginning to believe in my crazy idea a little bit, Sam?
nyp.33433076054612	Besides, what do we know of this fellow P What if he gets pinched and squeals on us? ” “ Squeal nothin'! ” ejaculated Tony disgustedly.
nyp.33433076054612	But I am taking up your valuable time, Doctor? ” “ You are not, Sergeant, ” the specialist replied with emphasis.
nyp.33433076054612	But had she in her turn been referring to him when she gave to Odell himself that mysterious warning?
nyp.33433076054612	But if the opportunity should come what object could he place upon the tray?
nyp.33433076054612	But tell me, have you dis- covered anything, Sergeant Odell?
nyp.33433076054612	But where to, sir?
nyp.33433076054612	But why should she warn him when Peters had already dis- appeared?
nyp.33433076054612	By what sort of a tool? ” Each of the men took a piece of the wire and examined it doubtfully.
nyp.33433076054612	Can you deny that for the sake of your career alone it is not vitally necessary that you should discover the one who is guilty?
nyp.33433076054612	Can you show me, Mr. Chalmers? ” He had indicated the front room by a gesture.
nyp.33433076054612	Can you tell me Peters's home address? ” “ He has no one except a married sister who lives over in New Dorp, Staten Island.
nyp.33433076054612	Chalmers, may I remind you that that is not for you to decide?
nyp.33433076054612	Chalmers, when was the last time you had a fire in this grate? ” Odell looked up in time to catch the younger man's swift change of expression.
nyp.33433076054612	Could it be that Miller was in some other building, an outhouse or shed perhaps?
nyp.33433076054612	Could it be that he had actually seen her somewhere be- fore; that she had recognized him and waited for the recog- nition to be mutual?
nyp.33433076054612	Could it be that he had taken the servants too much for granted, and that among them the guilty person might be found?
nyp.33433076054612	Could it be that she was trying to give him a tip?
nyp.33433076054612	Could n't they have worn through? ” “ Impossible.
nyp.33433076054612	Could she have anticipated this scene and carefully rehearsed it?
nyp.33433076054612	Could she not have been speaking of the day nurse? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	Could that be what Gerda had meant?
nyp.33433076054612	Dat's Gawd's trut ’. ” “ What other jobs have you done for him?
nyp.33433076054612	De guy dat Sims works fer is a blackmailer, see?
nyp.33433076054612	Did Kelly upset an oil- can in the tool- chest? ” 188 UNSEEN HANDS “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	Did they tell you that besides his arm two ribs are fractured?
nyp.33433076054612	Did you get an inter- view with each of them? ” “ All except the youngest daughter and Lorne himself; but I saw them both for a moment.
nyp.33433076054612	Did you get him?
nyp.33433076054612	Did you notice any marks upon the tub? ” “ But yes, Monsieur.
nyp.33433076054612	Did you see Porter? ” “ I did n't see him but I heard him. ” Taylor's grin ex- panded into a chuckle.
nyp.33433076054612	Did you see it? ” “ Indeed I did, sir. ” Jane visibly swelled with impor- tance.
nyp.33433076054612	Did you tell Doctor Day what 104 UNSEEN HANDS you have told me about the substitution of the needle? ” “ No, Doctor.
nyp.33433076054612	Did you want to see me? ” “ I do, Sergeant; you are the only man who can help me out.
nyp.33433076054612	Do you get me?
nyp.33433076054612	Do you know them well? ” “ I ’ve had them each on several cases but not together.
nyp.33433076054612	Do you mean that you know something?
nyp.33433076054612	Do you remember my telling you about some letters that I took from his desk after I had interrupted him in his task of burning them?
nyp.33433076054612	Do you see how clever I am?
nyp.33433076054612	Does that mean that you think my sister and her oldest son — that they could have been killed?
nyp.33433076054612	Eh, Gene? ” “ I do n't know about its being so entertaining, ” Gene re- sponded nervously.
nyp.33433076054612	Ever have any reason to distrust him? ” “ Never.
nyp.33433076054612	Exactly, Doctor. ” “ But there is no clue, you say, to the identity of that someone?
nyp.33433076054612	Get me? ” “ Sure, Sergeant. ” There came the almost simultaneous click of two re- ceivers, and Odell turned to his chief.
nyp.33433076054612	Go to the authorities with what, I should like to know?
nyp.33433076054612	Got a listening- spell on again? ” For Richard Lorne's rotund form had tensed, and his ear was turned to the door.
nyp.33433076054612	Had they forgotten the bottle of drugged liquor which stood before their very eyes?
nyp.33433076054612	Has not Mr. Lorne any suspicion, any theory to advance? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054612	Have n't father and the boys come down yet?
nyp.33433076054612	Have there been any fresh developments? ” “ A few.
nyp.33433076054612	Have you any idea where we are? ” “ Somewhere near a village; and that path through the trees leads to it.
nyp.33433076054612	Have you ever seen any crazy people?
nyp.33433076054612	Have you seen the chief? ” Odell nodded.
nyp.33433076054612	He was kept in strict seclusion, and in that seclusion he finally died. ” “ He had lost his mind? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054612	He — he hates anything like notoriety, and he can make a lot of trouble. ” “ For whom? ” Odell demanded as the other paused.
nyp.33433076054612	He's good for anoder day's sleep anyhow. ” “ What's the idea of the ice- bag? ” “ Dunno.
nyp.33433076054612	He's outside; shall I bring him in? ” At the captain's emphatic nod he withdrew, and the former turned to Odell.
nyp.33433076054612	Hear dem crickets an’t'ings out dere?
nyp.33433076054612	Hold him for me on a charge of — What's that?
nyp.33433076054612	How could my poor wife have been poisoned before my very eyes?
nyp.33433076054612	How did you manage to get free, Sergeant? ” “ They did n't tie me up.
nyp.33433076054612	How do you know? ” “ Because she never gave a thing away in her life.
nyp.33433076054612	How far is that boathouse from the village? ” “ About a mile and a half, ” Odell responded.
nyp.33433076054612	How would she have completed that sentence if a warn- ing hand had not been laid across her lips?
nyp.33433076054612	How — how did he die? ” “ He was murdered in an even more ruthless fashion than was his mother.
nyp.33433076054612	Hysteria or just plain lies? ” he asked when the door had closed behind the limp, sham- bling form.
nyp.33433076054612	I believe this room was occupied by your late brother?
nyp.33433076054612	I came to ask you if I might send you a tray of lunch in here? ” “ Thanks, no. ” He glanced at his watch.
nyp.33433076054612	I introduced Farley Drew to my people about a year ago. ” “ And did you present him to your brother at the same time? ” “ To Julian?
nyp.33433076054612	I introduced Farley Drew to my people about a year ago. ” “ And did you present him to your brother at the same time? ” “ To Julian?
nyp.33433076054612	I know she did n't give them away. ” He laughed shortly in a rueful manner and Odell de- manded: “ Why?
nyp.33433076054612	I met him about four years ago. ” “ Where? ” Gene had recovered his nonchalance and waved lazily toward a chair.
nyp.33433076054612	I suppose it is too late now, Doctor McCutchen? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	I suppose you know that Peters has disappeared? ” Lorne nodded.
nyp.33433076054612	I suppose you know that there has been another dis- appearance among the servants?
nyp.33433076054612	I tell you they're on to us and the game is up! ” “ Are we doing any harm?
nyp.33433076054612	I was getting desperate, though, and I would have summoned you people that night before the portrait fell if Titheredge had n't stopped me. ”"How?
nyp.33433076054612	I'd like to have seen them again. ” “ Then why the deuce did n't you show up?
nyp.33433076054612	I'll take Drew on; Sims is going back to the Bellemonde Annex. ” “ How about Miller? ” asked Porter.
nyp.33433076054612	IN THE PARROT ’S CAGE 125 “ Cagey, are n't you?
nyp.33433076054612	If it's all nonsense, sir, as you say, why is it that the police are here? ” He laughed at the impudent thrust.
nyp.33433076054612	If she were not concerned in the tragic mystery what was her purpose in this house?
nyp.33433076054612	If you take such a cock- and- bull story to Headquarters, do you know what will happen?
nyp.33433076054612	Is Porter still on the job? ” “ Yes, but the kid has turned sulky; shut himself up in his room and would n't talk to anybody.
nyp.33433076054612	Is n't there going to be any help for me?
nyp.33433076054612	Is that all? ” Taylor hesitated, and his expression changed.
nyp.33433076054612	Is that you?
nyp.33433076054612	It has been a comfort to know that your men were here to protect the children. ” “ The children alone, Miss Meade?
nyp.33433076054612	It might even be that one more dose would prove fatall Dare he attempt dissimulation when her very life was perhaps in danger?
nyp.33433076054612	It was in order that you might be re- venged in some way upon Farley Drew, was it not? ” Again she bowed her head.
nyp.33433076054612	It was in the same strongly accentuated writing, and read without preamble: “ Where do you think you get off, Gene?
nyp.33433076054612	It's funny her friends did n't look her up before, if they was so concerned about her. ” “ But where was she taken?
nyp.33433076054612	Let me see; you've had him three years, have n't you? ” “ Four, ” came raspingly from the couch.
nyp.33433076054612	Let's go out an ’ stretch our pins. ” “ Suppose this patient of yours wakes up? ” Pete's tone was doubtful.
nyp.33433076054612	Lorne, did your wife mention Miss Risby's name?
nyp.33433076054612	Lorne, which is Mr. Chalmers's room? ” “ The one on the left, third floor, rear, ” panted the sick man.
nyp.33433076054612	May I ask that you summon her for a moment? ” “ Certainly, Sergeant. ” The physician pressed a button on his desk.
nyp.33433076054612	May I go to Titheredge now?
nyp.33433076054612	May I hope to see you to- morrow at the Landis'?
nyp.33433076054612	My brother a- a murderer?
nyp.33433076054612	No trace of the bodies?
nyp.33433076054612	No trace of the body, then? ” “ The bodies were there, all right, ” Titheredge responded grimly.
nyp.33433076054612	Nothing left?
nyp.33433076054612	Now then, you two, move one side there and let the gentle- man pass. ” “ Who are these men? ” Titheredge paused.
nyp.33433076054612	Now, I ask you, is that usual with servants? ” Taylor leaned over the table the better to carry his point.
nyp.33433076054612	Odell believed the man be- fore him to be too clever to essay the latter; yet what compromise could he hope to effect with the police?
nyp.33433076054612	Oil, eh? ” Odell pulled a grimy handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his fingers.
nyp.33433076054612	Perhaps the gloom that hung over the house, the sorrow. ” “ Did you hear anything last night?
nyp.33433076054612	Pretty numb? ” “ No. ” Miller sat up with an involuntary groan and drew one knee up experimentally.
nyp.33433076054612	Say, ” he added with a touch of anxiety, “ that order ai n't canceled, is it?
nyp.33433076054612	She was very gentle and appealing and all that, but why could n't she walk so that one could hear her coming?
nyp.33433076054612	She wo n't be here long, though, now the poor mistress is gone. ” “ Why? ” asked Odell.
nyp.33433076054612	Sheriff Higgins speaking?
nyp.33433076054612	Tell me, Marcelle, what do you think of it all? ” “ Me?
nyp.33433076054612	Tell me, Marcelle, what do you think of it all? ” “ Me?
nyp.33433076054612	Thank you for giving me so much of your time. ” “ You will keep me informed of your progress? ” the specialist asked as they shook hands.
nyp.33433076054612	That someone in this house is insane? ” “ Hush!
nyp.33433076054612	That was my cue, and I beat it. ” WHAT RANNIE KNEW 193 “ You ’re quite sure of that conversation word for word, Taylor? ” Odell asked.
nyp.33433076054612	That was one of the points in which I fancy you could be of assistance to me. ” “ I? ” The boy laughed again.
nyp.33433076054612	That would be like old Sam, would n't it?
nyp.33433076054612	That's rather a strong word, is n't it?
nyp.33433076054612	The bottle on the table was still two- thirds full; could they mean to husband it until the next day?
nyp.33433076054612	The marks of poor Mr. Julian's hands covered with it, where he'd tried to keep himself up. ” “ Both hands, Jane?
nyp.33433076054612	The next blow might have fallen on you; have you thought of that? ” he asked her quietly.
nyp.33433076054612	The notes were long overdue; and he was pressing me, and threatening until I was almost crazy. ” Only another month?
nyp.33433076054612	The sergeant?
nyp.33433076054612	The specialist's theory was ingenious; but had it been a wholly disinterested one?
nyp.33433076054612	There was n't a thing locked in her room, either. ”- “ Her room is on the third floor opposite Mr. Chalmers's, is n't it?
nyp.33433076054612	Think her a bit above her place?
nyp.33433076054612	Tither- edge, may I have a word with you in the strictest profes- sional confidence? ” The attorney darted a keen glance at him.
nyp.33433076054612	To me she had not changed since her first marriage. ” “ A specialist, you say?
nyp.33433076054612	Want Miller any longer? ” “ Not now.
nyp.33433076054612	Was anyone else near Mrs. Lorne on that occasion? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	Was anyone present at the time? ” “ Yes, I was. ” Miss Meade shuddered.
nyp.33433076054612	Was it a few days ago, a week, a month? ” “ It was a week ago. ” The reply came sullenly in a lowered tone.
nyp.33433076054612	Was the girl lying, deliberately attempting to throw suspicion on Lorne, even as he had an hour before prac- tically accused her?
nyp.33433076054612	Was there a mystery within a mystery in this strange household?
nyp.33433076054612	Was this another evidence of the strange carelessness which had characterized each phase of this astonishing series of crimes?
nyp.33433076054612	Was your nephew in good health and spirits — aside from his natural grief for his mother, I mean? ” For the first time Miss Meade hesitated.
nyp.33433076054612	We'll go, one after the other; you'll see! ” From whose lips could that voice have issued?
nyp.33433076054612	What are you looking for? ” “ The packet from which the embroidery needle was taken, ” he responded.
nyp.33433076054612	What could it mean?
nyp.33433076054612	What did she mean by that veiled hint about insanity?
nyp.33433076054612	What did you burn here this morn- ing or last night, Mr. Chalmers? ” “ Nothing!
nyp.33433076054612	What do you say, Bill? ” Bill proved all at once to be a person of tact as well as discernment.
nyp.33433076054612	What do you say, Bill? ” “ All right. ” The other hitched his overall- strap over one shoulder.
nyp.33433076054612	What do you see? ” As he spoke he scooped some into the envelope, sealed it and placed it in his pocket.
nyp.33433076054612	What does the hunchback Rannie know about her?
nyp.33433076054612	What have you discovered?
nyp.33433076054612	What if it had merely been dipped in the serum from some other case of blood- poisoning?
nyp.33433076054612	What if this were repeated until death ensued?
nyp.33433076054612	What poison would it be easiest for me to obtain without comment in any drugstore? ” The boy shrugged.
nyp.33433076054612	What sanitarium? ” The detective's thoughts were racing now.
nyp.33433076054612	What was she trying to get at, anyway?
nyp.33433076054612	What's the idea, Sergeant?
nyp.33433076054612	What?
nyp.33433076054612	Where are you'phoning from? ” “ Is that you, Sergeant? ” Porter fairly yelped with ex- citement.
nyp.33433076054612	Where are you'phoning from? ” “ Is that you, Sergeant? ” Porter fairly yelped with ex- citement.
nyp.33433076054612	Where have you been P Miller, why did n't you come back to report?
nyp.33433076054612	Who could she have meant but that boy?
nyp.33433076054612	Who does Cissie Chalmers fear?
nyp.33433076054612	Who had known that the picture was going to fall?
nyp.33433076054612	Who had telephoned from that house to the shop on the previous day?
nyp.33433076054612	Who telephoned the carpenter to send someone to hang the portrait before it had fallen?
nyp.33433076054612	Whoever the woman is, young Chalmers has her number. ” CHAPTER XVI MISS RISBY SPEAKS HAT could that cryptic conversation mean?
nyp.33433076054612	Whom she was calling on? ” “ The party she was looking for was gone.
nyp.33433076054612	Why should he have stopped you? ” Odell MISS RISBY SPEAKS 203 noted the change which came over the face of the injured man at his query.
nyp.33433076054612	Why should that one picture in all this house have fallen just at the moment when I left the desk?
nyp.33433076054612	Will I be the next?'
nyp.33433076054612	Will you come and show me where the body was when you discovered it? ” “ I did n't discover it, ” Gene denied sulkily.
nyp.33433076054612	Will you instead go to the servants ’ quarters and see if any more of them have decamped? ” He turned again to the couch.
nyp.33433076054612	Will you show me to the kitchen? ” Jane hesitated.
nyp.33433076054612	Will you smoke? ” Odell shook his head but pulled a chair up to the table and seated himself.
nyp.33433076054612	Will you tell me too, Miss Meade, what Doctor Adams's office hours are? ” “ From nine to ten, one to two, and five to seven, ” she re- plied.
nyp.33433076054612	Would Miller recognize it?
nyp.33433076054612	Would he find that bit of silk, recognize it, and be able to conceal it from the befuddled gaze of his jailor?
nyp.33433076054612	Yer boid's all right, ai n't he?
nyp.33433076054612	You have it in your possession, Sergeant? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	You kept the in- cubator here in this room? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054612	You know of the swindles and blackmail? ” “ Yes, Mrs. Gael.
nyp.33433076054612	You mean to continue the investigation on your own account until you are assured that you are up against a blank wall?
nyp.33433076054612	You remember the noise I heard last night? ” Titheredge nodded briefly, then turned to the others.
nyp.33433076054612	You're sure it's the right place?
nyp.33433076054612	You've had a bad shock and you must try to get a sound night's rest. ” “ Do you suppose I could sleep? ” Gene turned on him hotly.
nyp.33433076054612	“ A Madame Gael. ” “ Not Mrs. Quincy Gael who was divorced? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076054612	“ A detective? ” she asked quietly, but her breast rose and fell with spasmodic rapidity.
nyp.33433076054612	“ And I suppose it was n't queer that when Jule's razor slipped while he was shaving it should just nick the jugular vein?
nyp.33433076054612	“ And what makes you think I can help you? ” he de- manded bruskly but with the habitual whine temporarily banished from his tones.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Are they the tools you were after? ” The detective reached forward and examined them eagerly.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Are you the same men who were here this morning? ” “ We are. ” The spokesman advanced truculently.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Barry Odell, you confounded old sleuth, where have you been keeping yourself?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Can I have Miller?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Can you 92 UNSEEN HANDS tell me how the other end was cut?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Cissie, where are you going? ” “ Away!
nyp.33433076054612	“ Could that have been a contribu- tory cause, Doctor? ” “ No, ” the other replied emphatically.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did Mrs. Lorne still refuse? ” Odell asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did that in any way affect your friendship with Drew, Mr. Chalmers? ” “ Of course not; why should it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did that in any way affect your friendship with Drew, Mr. Chalmers? ” “ Of course not; why should it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did you find any dope on how that party managed to recoup his losses and keep his head above water? ” “ Surest thing you know.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did you hear that? ” he whispered after a moment.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did you notice any on the tub? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Did you recognize the man who brought you your food; the one who the Sergeant says was called Pete? ” “ No, Captain.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Do n’t you know that everything that is inflammable and of a different texture or substance leaves a different ash behind?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Do you know all that this man has done to me?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Do you mean that it might be a curse or fate or some strange mystery? ” Odell nodded.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Do you mean that you had the living specimens here? ” Rannie nodded coolly; but the detective noted a sudden quiver of his distorted face.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Farley Drew I So he had his hooks into that lad too, did he? ” “ Not only Gene, but the other brother also, I understand; the one who is dead.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Five or six minutes. ” “ Does it make much noise? ” the detective persisted.
nyp.33433076054612	“ From Police Headquarters? ” he repeated when his visitor had disclosed his identity.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Gerda, where did you work before coming here? ” “ Nowhere.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Got anything on this Gene that you have n't told me about?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Has Mr. Lorne been taken upstairs yet? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Have you a bottle or some small receptacle that is perfectly clean and sterilized? ” he demanded in hushed tones.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Have you any idea yet as to who is doing this thing, Sergeant?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Have you come to tell me that you have discovered the family Nemesis? ” “ Scarcely that.
nyp.33433076054612	“ How are all the fellows?
nyp.33433076054612	“ How are your legs?
nyp.33433076054612	“ How long have you known this? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054612	“ I ask you, Monsieur, how one can take the sorrow when it comes, how one can bear the fear of he knows not what, if he have not the full stomach?
nyp.33433076054612	“ I suspected yesterday; I had only convinced myself when you came. ” “ And the antidote?
nyp.33433076054612	“ I wonder what the idea is anyway in holding these guys here for a week? ” Odell wondered also and listened intently for the reply.
nyp.33433076054612	“ If it were the murderer why should he go wandering around the house with a light talking to himself?
nyp.33433076054612	“ If you were guilty, why should you tell me so much and halt at an actual confession?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Is Peters busy, Jane? ” asked the attorney as he handed her his hat and stick.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Is he there, beneath that —? ” “ Nan! ” All the good in the boy's weak face shone forth as he sprang forward and caught her in his arms.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Is it true that they were murdered, my mother and Julian? ”* “ I am afraid there is no possibility of a doubt, ” Odell re- turned gravely.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Is that why you would not leave Mrs. Lorne alone with her husband? ” A slight flush came into the girl's face, but her eyes met his steadily.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Is that you, Barry?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Is — is he hurt bad, sir? ” The butler clutched the newel post as he straightened his shaking knees.
nyp.33433076054612	“ It is her fault that he is a cripple. ” “ Miss Meade's fault? ” Odell asked casually.
nyp.33433076054612	“ It is highly probable, Mr. Drew. ” “ Could anything induce you to do so?
nyp.33433076054612	“ It makes the whole thing look pretty black against me, does n't it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ It would be kind of a fierce thing for her to realize that she had probably been feeding Cissie poison with her own hands, would n't it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Let him go scot- free with the ex- tortion he had practiced upon one member of the family in order to keep from the rest a knowledge of the truth?
nyp.33433076054612	“ May I ask, Miss Chalmers, whether or not the broken stair has been mended yet? ” “ No, Mr. Odell.
nyp.33433076054612	“ May I suggest that you are wasting valuable time? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Miss Meade?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Move back, please, all of you, and give him air. ” As they obeyed he asked: “ Feel better now, Dick? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Murder, eh?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Murder? ” she repeated, regarding him thoughtfully.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Must we be hypo- crites eternally?
nyp.33433076054612	“ My dear aunt, where is the disgrace to the family in 46 UNSEEN HANDS having a policeman cross our sacred portals?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Of someone on the inside, some member of the house- hold?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Oh, Sergeant Odell, you will let me go?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Oh, by the way, that call came directly from the Meade house, did n't it? ” “ Dunno! ” Kenny looked his surprise.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Oh, what does it mean?
nyp.33433076054612	“ On whose advice did she go? ” “ How should I know?
nyp.33433076054612	“ On whose advice did she go? ” “ How should I know?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Only a low buzzin ’ and dronin ’. ” “ Hard to operate? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Remember what I said to you the other day about the WHAT RANNIE KNEW 187 secondary mind, Captain?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Say, when did that guy say he'd be out again? ” ESCAPE 177 perimentally, emitted a faint groan, and threw one arm up over his head.
nyp.33433076054612	“ See that shop between the delicatessen and the tobacconist's?
nyp.33433076054612	“ So one of your zealous sleuths was on the job this morn- ing when I was kidding her, was he?
nyp.33433076054612	“ So she was nicer than Gerda, eh? ” Odell regarded her quizzically, and she tossed her head.
nyp.33433076054612	“ So that is how the wind blows, is it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ So that's how he gained an introduction into Mr. Lorne's household? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054612	“ So that's the case against the hunchback as far as it goes? ” “ I ’m not so sure, ” Odell demurred thoughtfully.
nyp.33433076054612	“ So you're on that tack, are you? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Still dead to the world? ” “ Sure. ” A second voice with the unmistakable accent of the lower East Side replied to the first.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Taxi, sir? ” Peters started in surprise and then opening the door he peered out.
nyp.33433076054612	“ That is, if you know what shop sent them out? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054612	“ That stuck- up thing?
nyp.33433076054612	“ That's for Miss Chalmers, is n't it, Peters? ” he asked carelessly.
nyp.33433076054612	“ The officer detective from Police Headquarters, is it not so?
nyp.33433076054612	“ The portrait has been hanging there for years, you say?
nyp.33433076054612	“ This is the tradesmen's door, is it not?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Tri- oxide, eh?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Was anyone else on the third floor at that time? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Was n't it me went and got it when the doctor asked to see it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ What are you driving at, Sergeant? ” “ The necessity for the stairs being rendered almost fatally dangerous in the night.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What did Villard say? ” he demanded without preamble.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What did he have to say? ” The chief grinned.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What did it say? ” Odell asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What did you burn then? ” “ Merely some old letters and snapshots.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What do you make of it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ What do you mean, Sergeant Odell?
nyp.33433076054612	“ What do you mean? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What do you think of the maid, Gerda? ” Rannie's eyes narrowed.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What is it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ What was that bottle of medicine you found in the drawer, Taylor? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What was the needle like which caused Mrs. Lorne's illness?
nyp.33433076054612	“ What's going on at the Meade house? ” “ Murder, ” responded Odell succinctly.
nyp.33433076054612	“ What?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Where did Kelly find them? ” “ In the last place he would have thought to search for them; the open tool chest in the cellar.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Where does Farley Drew live? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Where is my brother? ” Her tone rang with tragic grief through the room.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Where the devil were you all day yesterday, Sergeant?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Who is here? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Who was the lady's maid before Gerda came? ” “ Margaret McGrath, though she called herself Margue- rite.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Who? ” Odell roused himself from his meditations.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Why are you asking me all these questions about him, Sergeant Odell?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Why are you telling me this, Gerda? ” The woman stepped back, and a spot of color came into her sallow cheeks.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Why could n't Drew wait one month more? ” “ I did n't know then.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Why did Peters run away?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Why is that woman Gerda occupying so menial a position when she is obviously far above it?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Will you bring me an envelope? ” he requested.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Will you go and ask him for them, please? ” “ But — but no one has entered that room since the funeral, ” Gene stammered.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Will you go up to my brother- in- law now?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Windermere?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Yer do n't t'ink dat rap I give him was any slap on de wrist, do yer?
nyp.33433076054612	“ Yes.—Who?—Oh, it's you, is it, Porter?
nyp.33433076054612	“ You are absolutely sure in your own mind that the bandage was tampered with? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You are positive, Doctor, that there is no poison? ” The specialist waved the question aside impatiently.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You are sure about those wires being hacked apart? ” he inquired when the attorney had finished.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You are sure there were the prints of hands in blood upon the rim of the tub? ” “ Positive of it, ” Gene returned.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You did not hear the footsteps? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You do n’t mean that he ’s beaten it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You fancy that you will not need the information which I can give you?
nyp.33433076054612	“ You have heard of the subsequent death of Mrs. Lorne's oldest son, Julian Chalmers? ” “ No! ” she cried.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You know that the Chief Medical Examiner has ordered an autopsy on Mrs. Lorne?
nyp.33433076054612	“ You know who I am, of course? ” Gerda bowed.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You said that Mr. Lorne wanted to'phone to Headquarters last night but you dissuaded him? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You searched the servants ’ rooms first, as I directed? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You see?
nyp.33433076054612	“ You thought Miller and I were safely under guard at that boathouse, did n't you? ” Odell paused to blow a blast upon his whistle.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You took the needle also, I believe? ” The physician nodded.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You ’ll drop in and let me know how you get on? ” the boy asked almost eagerly.
nyp.33433076054612	“ You ’ve got him? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the man chuckled.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Your brother then became one of his associates? ” “ One of his friends, ” Gene remarked stiffly.
nyp.33433076054612	“ Your telephone is in the library, is it not?
nyp.33433076054612	“ ‘ Oh, wo n't you believe?
nyp.33433076054729	'” “ What am I to do? ” Sneed's walking stick clattered to the floor and he sank into a chair.
nyp.33433076054729	202 ETHEL OPENS THE DOOR Do you understand now, Mr. Nichols?
nyp.33433076054729	An uncanny sense of repulsion seized upon them, but Rex replied in even tones: “ You have news for us, Mr. Sneed?
nyp.33433076054729	Any further instructions? ” Phil glanced half- deprecatingly at Rex, but the latter shook his head smilingly.
nyp.33433076054729	Are we going there right now, Uncle Henry? ” “ That ’s the stuff! ” Phil chuckled.
nyp.33433076054729	Are you sure you've got your story straight? ”, “ Sure! ” she replied confidently.
nyp.33433076054729	Are you, too, becoming discouraged? ” “ Not by a long shot! ” Clifford Nichols responded stoutly.
nyp.33433076054729	At Henry Corliss ’ abrupt question Rex had asked quickly: “ Do you mean the office that has been vacant ever since we opened up here?
nyp.33433076054729	But the old chap is full of contradictions and queer whims. ” “ What, for instance? ” “ Well, ” Luce settled back in his chair.
nyp.33433076054729	But was there any refer- ence made in the letter to the safe or the fact that some- one had forced an entrance here?
nyp.33433076054729	Can you guess from what hotel? ” “ Good heavens! ” exclaimed Luce.
nyp.33433076054729	Co-. ” “ Do you call that sense? ” snorted Phil.
nyp.33433076054729	Could it have been Ethel?
nyp.33433076054729	Could n't I?
nyp.33433076054729	Did he hear that you were interested in mechanics? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054729	Did n't Palliser say that he had a collection? ” “ Of weapons with a history. ” Holton shrugged.
nyp.33433076054729	Did n't you hear a bell ringing some- where? ” This time the old man started from his chair as though galvanized.
nyp.33433076054729	Did you get a look at him?
nyp.33433076054729	Did you know him, sir? ” “ Phineas D.P"the other laughed drily.
nyp.33433076054729	Did you notice how thick they were?
nyp.33433076054729	Did you see the body? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054729	Did you tell Phil who your companion was at dinner last night?
nyp.33433076054729	Did your employer take you into his confidence? ” “ Yes, sir, to a certain extent. ” The man coughed de- precatingly.
nyp.33433076054729	Do n't you see something kind of funny about that when you take the date into consideration? ” Henry nodded slowly.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you ask for any particular driver? ” “ They know that I require a careful one but I have always found them reliable.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you get me? ” “ I do! ” The drawl was gone from Luce's tones.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you know Carrie? ” Mrs. Gillen looked her surprise.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you know Mr. Sneed? ” The chauffeur grinned.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you see? ” “ Who is it? ” Phil cried.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you see? ” “ Who is it? ” Phil cried.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you think it is quite fair? ” An odd little smile twisted the corners of the girl's lips for an instant, but she spoke seriously enough.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you understand? ” Rex nodded.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you understand? ” “ I must confess that I do not.
nyp.33433076054729	Do you understand? ” “ Yes, Miss Jepson. ” Cliff smiled to himself.
nyp.33433076054729	Does it really exist? ” “ Yes, of a kind, but I doubt whether it comes within your scope, Luce.
nyp.33433076054729	ETHEL. ’ ” THE DEBT THAT WAS PAID 307 minably every minute drags itself out?
nyp.33433076054729	Fifteen years and more, and I was getting on in years then; past fifty. ” “ What was your wife's name? ” “ Anthony, sir.
nyp.33433076054729	From the moment when George rejoins us we will have to reorganize our whole investigation, wo n’t we, Phil?
nyp.33433076054729	Funny for a bloodless money- grubber, eh?
nyp.33433076054729	Funny, is n't it? — My Gawd!
nyp.33433076054729	Gentlemen, may I ask that you will accept me as your client?
nyp.33433076054729	Had he any standing in the business or professional world? ” Rex pursued.
nyp.33433076054729	Had he been frank with us from the be- ginning this tragedy might never have occurred. ” “ Where is his servant? ” Ridgeway demanded suddenly.
nyp.33433076054729	Has Cliff made any headway? ” “ If you can call it that! ” Phil dug his hands keep into his pockets and commenced to pace back and forth.
nyp.33433076054729	Has he come?
nyp.33433076054729	Have you compared it with any speci- mens of other handwriting which you may have among your papers? ” “ Certainly not!
nyp.33433076054729	Have you got that straight? ” “ If I could think that fast and all new stuff I ’d write a book, Mr. Howe! ” she exclaimed admiringly.
nyp.33433076054729	Have you thought of that? ” Once more a dry cackle broke from Sneed's lips.
nyp.33433076054729	He thinks he knows what he is getting at, anyway and as he says, where do we go from here if we depend solely on what can be deduced from the letter?
nyp.33433076054729	Here the man we have been looking for was right under our noses all the time! ” “ How do you know he was? ” Cliff demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	How did she manage to elude them and who could have aided her?
nyp.33433076054729	How did you work it?
nyp.33433076054729	How do you know they were? ” Rex THE SECOND THREAT 185 asked, amused in spite of the anxiety of the moment.
nyp.33433076054729	How do you think that would go before any jury?
nyp.33433076054729	I came to ask you if I could n't stay just a little longer; say, till tomorrow?
nyp.33433076054729	I do belong to you of my peº: qt wº**- º pesºſ?
nyp.33433076054729	I fail to see —! ” “ The car you had last Sunday was ordered ahead for you? ” Phil persisted.
nyp.33433076054729	I hear it is rather a good thing. ” “ New company? ” Palliser pricked up his ears.
nyp.33433076054729	I hope that I have not detained you? ” “ Not at all! ” the other disclaimed hurriedly.
nyp.33433076054729	I know it's hard, but would n't it be best to wait until we see what happens here?
nyp.33433076054729	I must know what stars were in juxtaposition —? ” Zadkiel began in soft, deep, throaty tone, but the other interrupted bruskly.
nyp.33433076054729	I shall inquire the address and go to see for myself. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076054729	I thought that you and Sneed were strangers —? ” “ So we were, sir!
nyp.33433076054729	I was watching.—But why did n't you meet me last night?
nyp.33433076054729	I wonder if somebody outside was inter- 104 ETHEL OPENS THE DOOR ested enough in him to get to the guys higher up? ” Henry chuckled.
nyp.33433076054729	I wonder what kind of business is going to be conducted from there, and what type of man is running it?
nyp.33433076054729	I ’ve seen to that, I ’ve bound them to me with the strongest tie in the World! ” “ Money? ” Cliff shrugged.
nyp.33433076054729	If he's a dick —? ” t Ethel interrupted.
nyp.33433076054729	If you'll just take her to dinner now —? ” “ Oh, please! ” She gave a little shudder of repulsion.
nyp.33433076054729	If you've just taken that office perhaps you are looking for a stenographer?
nyp.33433076054729	In whose interest had he established himself there?
nyp.33433076054729	Is Mrs. Connelly at home? ” “ No, but it's all right.
nyp.33433076054729	Is he going to leave him some of his wealth?
nyp.33433076054729	Is he trying to acquit himself in advance of any accusation of harshness which she may bring against him when we find her?
nyp.33433076054729	Is she a nut? ” “ Just a little weak in the upper story, my dear, ” Henry explained.
nyp.33433076054729	Is that right? ” “ Absolutely, ” Rex replied.
nyp.33433076054729	Is this Mrs. Gillen? ” Phil stepped forward, removing his cap as he spoke.
nyp.33433076054729	It is important for us to know. ”- “ On the possibility that someone might be shadowing the Shadowers, eh? ” suggested George Roper.
nyp.33433076054729	It looks like a wolf's head, does n't it?
nyp.33433076054729	It's English, is n't it? ” “ In certain circles, ” Cliff responded as he fitted two more fragments deftly together and then frowned.
nyp.33433076054729	Last night she escaped from my apartments! ” “ Alone?
nyp.33433076054729	Maybe you knew all the time, Mr. Howe –? ” “ I did n't! ” Phil interrupted jubilantly.
nyp.33433076054729	No numbers on it this time! ” “ ‘ Numbers? ’ ” repeated Sneed, his thin voice rising once more.
nyp.33433076054729	No wonder it took padded walls and a strong- arm Lizzie to look after that daughter of his, crazy or not! ” “ What's the matter? ” asked Cliff.
nyp.33433076054729	Palliser has been telling me about it. ” “ The- er — weapons? ” Luce smiled deprecatingly.
nyp.33433076054729	RED JIM'S DAUGHTER 127, “ ‘ A swing? ’ ” she repeated.
nyp.33433076054729	RED JIM'S DAUGHTER 129 “ But maybe you know some other friends of his who might be able to tell us where to locate him? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433076054729	See the corner of the stamp, and —? ” “ And the postmark! ” Phil seized upon.

nyp.33433076054729	She died fifteen years ago or more. ” “ There were no children? ” The financier shook his head.
nyp.33433076054729	She goes out sewing by the day — ” “ What does she think you do? ” Phil interrupted.
nyp.33433076054729	Sneed has not received any more anonymous let- ters since yesterday, has he? ” Phil asked.
nyp.33433076054729	Sneed, did you yourself see your daughter out in the roof- garden yesterday afternoon? ” George took up the inquiry.
nyp.33433076054729	Sneed, just how much of your private affairs do Robert and Jane know? ” Cliff asked.
nyp.33433076054729	Sneed, the installation of this safe was your own idea, you say?
nyp.33433076054729	TWENTY- FOUR HOURS 199 “ Is this Mr. Nichols? ” Ethel's voice, primly modulated but trembling slightly from excitement came to his ears.
nyp.33433076054729	Tell him Nifty Phil is here, will you? ” “ What do you want?
nyp.33433076054729	Tell him Nifty Phil is here, will you? ” “ What do you want?
nyp.33433076054729	That is all there was to it. ” “ Why did he come to you?
nyp.33433076054729	That news was n't wholly unexpected, was it? ” “ What do you mean? ” The old man half rose from his chair and then fell back again.
nyp.33433076054729	That news was n't wholly unexpected, was it? ” “ What do you mean? ” The old man half rose from his chair and then fell back again.
nyp.33433076054729	That's the line to take, see? ” “ His pal may have reformed but he need n't have be- come a snitcher! ” Henry remarked.
nyp.33433076054729	The man I employed found no difficulty in follow- ing my instructions. ” “ How long ago was it installed? ” PHINEAS SNEED'S INVENTION 37 Rex.
nyp.33433076054729	They are curled over a trifle, are n't they?
nyp.33433076054729	This writing is disguised, of course, but is there not a letter nor a stroke of the pen which is familiar to you, however vaguely?
nyp.33433076054729	To Arthur Wicks? ” “ His father! ” The old man's hands fell to his side and for a moment he bowed his head.
nyp.33433076054729	Unaided? ” Rex demanded sharply.
nyp.33433076054729	Want me to dig some information out of them about anything? ” “ I do not l ” exclaimed Phil in haste.
nyp.33433076054729	Want me to kind of encourage him? ” “ Not yet until we see what his game really is.
nyp.33433076054729	Was he a swindler, a crook?
nyp.33433076054729	Was it that to which you referred? ” Cliff Smiled.
nyp.33433076054729	Was the death certificate accepted without question? ” demanded Cliff anxiously.
nyp.33433076054729	What are you driving at? ” “ The truth! ” George rose suddenly and towered over the other man.
nyp.33433076054729	What do you think he replied?
nyp.33433076054729	What does he want to find the Gull for?
nyp.33433076054729	What else did he talk about during din- ner beside his collection?
nyp.33433076054729	What has she done? ” Luce smiled.
nyp.33433076054729	What have you done to find him?
nyp.33433076054729	What is back of the library?
nyp.33433076054729	What is on your mind? ” Phil roused himself with an effort from his own train of thought.
nyp.33433076054729	What is the answer? ” “ Obviously, that your premises are wrong somewhere, my dear fellow, ” Luce drawled.
nyp.33433076054729	What kind of trouble did he get into and what was he like? ” “ He was railroaded. ” Phil's voice had sunk to a whisper.
nyp.33433076054729	What should he care about our approval of his line of conduct for?
nyp.33433076054729	What sort of a ship and what was she doing on board? ” “ An ocean liner, sir.
nyp.33433076054729	What suggested it to you in the first place?
nyp.33433076054729	What urgent errand had taken him forth, defying wind and rain?
nyp.33433076054729	What was the game? ” “ I never knew, rightly. ” Red Jim shook his head.
nyp.33433076054729	What will she do next? ” “ What has she done so far? ” Rex demanded with a shade of impatience in his tone.
nyp.33433076054729	What will she do next? ” “ What has she done so far? ” Rex demanded with a shade of impatience in his tone.
nyp.33433076054729	When can you get on the job? ” “ At once. ” Rex took up his hat and stick.
nyp.33433076054729	When did this letter come? ” “ In the morning's mail, sir.
nyp.33433076054729	When the game broke up I took the senator to my rooms and showed them to him. ” “ Oh, you did, did you? ” Phil observed.
nyp.33433076054729	Where are the others?
nyp.33433076054729	Where are you living now? ” “ With an old dame Mr. Powell found for me when he got me out of Lefty Jane's hands.
nyp.33433076054729	Where did you get that outfit?
nyp.33433076054729	Where did you see him? ” “ Where he lives.
nyp.33433076054729	Who are my friends and enemies, what are my lucky years?
nyp.33433076054729	Why is he playing safe? ” Phil shrugged.
nyp.33433076054729	Will you give me my chance? ” “ What do you say? ” Rex asked slowly as he looked around the table.
nyp.33433076054729	Will you give me my chance? ” “ What do you say? ” Rex asked slowly as he looked around the table.
nyp.33433076054729	Wo n't she be looking for her Uncle Henry? ” “ Good Lord! ” Henry started up in dismay.
nyp.33433076054729	You had heard of Sneed's invention before, had n't you?
nyp.33433076054729	You have brought it with you, of course? ” “ But Powell put me off this morning!
nyp.33433076054729	You have made a study of hydraulics? ” “ Only a superficial one, ” Sneed replied with elaborate carelessness.
nyp.33433076054729	You have n't heard from Rex, have you? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054729	You know I never entered Sneed's rooms in my life —! ” “ Can you prove it? ” George sneered.
nyp.33433076054729	You questioned them, of course? ” Sneed shook his head slyly.
nyp.33433076054729	You sent me here to find out something; please, ca n't I stay and do it?
nyp.33433076054729	You want Phil? ” He handed the receiver to the other and George's voice came clearly but guardedly over the wire.
nyp.33433076054729	You wo n't expect to hear from me for a day or two? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054729	You young rascal, why did n't you tell me what those numbers meant on that envelope?
nyp.33433076054729	You're with me to the finish? ” The old man says kind of solemn: ‘ And beyond, sir! ” Nine- forty says: ‘ I knew it, old scout!
nyp.33433076054729	Your employer still resides in the Burlingame Hotel? ” “ Of course, sir! ” Robert looked his astonishment at the question.
nyp.33433076054729	for the sake of some dying buddy of his whom you have reformed? ” “ Why could n't I be a relative? ” Henry suggested.
nyp.33433076054729	for the sake of some dying buddy of his whom you have reformed? ” “ Why could n't I be a relative? ” Henry suggested.
nyp.33433076054729	— Now do you know? ” She was still smiling, but her eyes had not left his face and now they narrowed slightly and she caught her breath.
nyp.33433076054729	“ All this is going to happen to me within the next month? ” “ All this and more! ”.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Am I or am I not in charge of that girl? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Am I or am I not in charge of that girl? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Am I to understand, gentlemen, that it might be pos- sible for you to- er — avert the disaster which is hanging over me? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076054729	“ And it may be in the blood, you mean?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Anything doing? ” she asked with interest.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Are those all the clothes your daughter had? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Are you by any chance looking for the Shadowers? ” “ Yes, sir, that was the name. ” The man's voice rose eagerly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Are you trying to kid me, Luce?
nyp.33433076054729	“ But there have n't been any arks since Noah, and who is going to 211 212 ETHEL OPENS THE DOOR ‘ hop in a hurry'?
nyp.33433076054729	“ But when did she burn herself? ” “ Some time during the afternoon.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Cliff does n't know any- thing about the Gull yet, does he?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did I pull it off all right, Mr. Powell? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did Mr. Sneed wish to see me?—Someone telephoned down —? ” “ Come in, sir.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you ever hear him speak of — of a girl he knew named “ Peterson ’? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you give up your room at the Burlingame? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you notice that the man across the hall has gone? ” Ethel greeted them as they entered.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you observe their general outline, Mr. Sneed?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you say ‘ client ’? ” Cliff turned with slightly raised eyebrows to Rex, but George smiled broadly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you see the warden? ” “ Yes, and he's a regular fellow!
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did you think he was in any state to wait upon me?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Did your employer show you the letter, Robert? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you mean those about which you asked me when you called on Sunday? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you recall what those figures were on the envelope, Rex? ” “ O- four- two- six? ” Henry nodded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you recall what those figures were on the envelope, Rex? ” “ O- four- two- six? ” Henry nodded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you remember what we said last night?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you see that rock jutting out from it shaped like the head of an animal?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you suppose it could have been Robert himself?—That there was no intruder here? ” Henry shook his head decidedly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Do you think she went away because Mr. Sneed's daughter had escaped from her care? ” “ I do n't know, sir; she did n't say.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Fancy anyone shoving the queer on me! ” “ Of course, old man, but is that actually phony? ” Rex pulled out his wallet.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Finished your coffee, you two?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Five- passenger touring for next Sunday? ” the man- ager repeated in answer to his tentative inquiry.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Good Lord, do you know who he is? ” “ Who does n't? ” Rex shrugged.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Good Lord, do you know who he is? ” “ Who does n't? ” Rex shrugged.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Had you known this man before your daughter met him? ” “ I — er — yes. ” Sneed stammered in surprise.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Has Henry seen it? ” “ You would n't expect even a real alienist to get any- thing from that snapshot, would you? ” Henry retorted.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Has Henry seen it? ” “ You would n't expect even a real alienist to get any- thing from that snapshot, would you? ” Henry retorted.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Has Jane returned, Robert? ” Sneed demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Has he succeeded in interesting you in that collection of his?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Have you gone mad, Roper?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Have you had any luck? ” “ Only in a general way, ” Rex replied.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Have you seen him again? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Have you speci- mens of their handwriting with you, by any chance? ” “ Great heavens! ” the old man exclaimed.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Hello, George, what luck?
nyp.33433076054729	“ How can he have discovered that I consulted you?
nyp.33433076054729	“ How can that be possible? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054729	“ How do you do, Mr. Ormsby?
nyp.33433076054729	“ How will you go about it?
nyp.33433076054729	“ How'd you spot him so quick, Ethel? ” “ I guess because we were just talking about him; I mean, Mr. Roper was, ” she responded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ I believe you met Miss Sneed at a house party in England while she was visiting a school friend during vacation? ” “ Yes. ” Raeburn flushed.
nyp.33433076054729	“ I do n't say we might n't get away with it so far, but what then?
nyp.33433076054729	“ I do n't see what's keeping him, though, if he is around the hotel. ” “ What are you going to tell him, anyway? ” asked Cliff.
nyp.33433076054729	“ I sup- pose it is no good to ask you what your own program is? ” “ I ’m not sure, myself! ” Phil replied candidly, with a laugh.
nyp.33433076054729	“ I was n't mugged that time and I do n't see how any of the dicks in Centre Street would know me, but what's the lay?
nyp.33433076054729	“ I ’ll be lucky, will I? ” There was incredulous bitterness in his tone.
nyp.33433076054729	“ I ’m a friend; has Jane come? ” he asked quickly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ I ’m a little out of practice but I am doing fairly well, and that spiel was n't half bad, was it?
nyp.33433076054729	“ I ’m neither a college boy now, nor an old rounder —! ” “ Not if you could get a line on Raeburn? ” Rex inter- rupted slyly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ If she is really sane, you were going to say, were n't you, Mr. Baynes? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Is Phil there? ” Lucian asked.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Is she a little bit older than me, with red hair and kind of pretty? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054729	“ It was at the time when you thought an attempt was made to rob your safe, do you remember?
nyp.33433076054729	“ It was he who gave you Raeburn's address here, was n't it? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054729	“ It was n't exactly a healthy country that you sent him 180 ETHEL OPENS THE DOOR to, was it?
nyp.33433076054729	“ It would be ‘ quiet ” enough except for some blatant cabaret!—How about running out instead to the country club?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Jane is out of it, but are you positive that Robert is incapable of guiding a pen?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Just about the time of the Gull's trial and conviction, was n't it?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Lord, but I have had a day of it! ” “ Did you get away with the formalities safely?
nyp.33433076054729	“ My dear Ethel, is there anything you would n't undertake? ” “ Not much, but that plainclothes bull was easy, ” she replied modestly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Not leaving us, Mr. Ballantyne? ” “ I must, I am afraid. ” Luce spoke with just the right shade of regret as he rose.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Rex, lend me a ten- spot, will you?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Say, could n't Henry have come North to have a little visit with his niece and take her to the Burlingame for a stay?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Say, how about those two wills you found in the safe last night, Phil?
nyp.33433076054729	“ She has had help of some sort and where could it have come from but from him?
nyp.33433076054729	“ She's making medicine, all right! ” “ Has she discovered anything? ” Cliff demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ So it has come to a showdown, has it? ” He commented as he read.
nyp.33433076054729	“ So they got him, did they? ” she commented and to Rex's horror there seemed to be something very like satis- faction in her tone.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Someone had pushed it under the entrance door of your apartment, where Robert found it, I believe? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Sorry that those numbers — what were they, two, six, something?
nyp.33433076054729	“ The Great Zadkiel had a visitor after we left, had n't he? ” “ You saw him, then?
nyp.33433076054729	“ The Great Zadkiel had a visitor after we left, had n't he? ” “ You saw him, then?
nyp.33433076054729	“ There does n't appear to be any sign of insanity in that face, do you think? ” Rex asked with a gesture toward the slip of cardboard.
nyp.33433076054729	“ There were two there yesterday; now one is dead and one has gone, but which is which?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Well, fellows, how goes it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Well, it is n't important now, is it? ” Rex shrugged.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Well, what do you think of her? ” “ Perhaps we should have compelled her to tell us what she knows or suspects, ” Rex said reluctantly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Well? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What am I to do? ” he demanded for the second time.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What do you boys say to a planked steak around the corner at the Hilliard? ” he suggested, his small eyes twink- ling in anticipation.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What do you say, Cliff? ” Rex Powell asked at last.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What do you think of it?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What does the handwriting indicate?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What does this mean? ” he sputtered.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What has brought you all here?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What if Raeburn has out- bid you?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What is it? ” Phil demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What is your name, please?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What is your name? ” “ Robert, sir, Robert Frost. ” The old man bowed trem- ulously.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What keeps you in this blistering town? ” “ I might ask the same of you! ” Rex laughed.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What more could there be?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What news have you brought?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What on earth are you talking about?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What the devil do you mean?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What time did that conversation take place, do you remember? ” “ I looked, ” Miss Kerrigan replied briefly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ What was that?
nyp.33433076054729	“ What ’s the matter with her?
nyp.33433076054729	“ When did this occur? ” “ Five years and a half ago, when Eva was nineteen.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Where do you want to go, sir? ” “ Over to Jersey, ” Phil hazarded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Where is Powell?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Where is it, Cliff? ” “ On the table in my study, ” Cliff responded absently.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Where's Phil? ” “ Gone off on some trail of his own, ” replied Rex.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Who is the spy at the Burlingame? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Who started it working? ” “ I did. ” Phil turned from before one of the bookcases.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Who, Mrs. Gillen?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Who, him? ” Ethel's small nose wrinkled in fine scorn.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Why did n't anybody know? ” Her quick mind flew to the truth.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Why did you not tell me?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Why do you think she has left you, Robert? ” “ I could n't say, sir.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Why so pensive? ” George demanded.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Why would the proprietor stoop to such a purposeless deception?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Will you get my hat and stick please?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Yes?
nyp.33433076054729	“ You are sure of this? ” “ We have proved it, and it is a part of our duty to pro- tect our clients, ” Rex returned coldly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You are the head of the firm known as the"Shad- owers ’? ” His voice was reedy and piping.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You did n't see the fellow himself, did you? ” “ Sure I did"she affirmed.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You do n't care what you do with your money, do you?
nyp.33433076054729	“ You do n't mean —? ” He paused and for answer to the unfinished question Cliff lifted his hand.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You have located my daughter? ” “ Not yet. ” Phil shook his head and reached for the letter which Cliff silently held out to him.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You have the lists of those who have actually been at the Burlingame as long as Sneed, though, have n't you? ” Phil asked.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You heard? ” Rex nodded, switched off the dictaphone and put away the card which he had taken from the index file.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You keep your own automobile, Mr. Sneed? ” “ I do not, sir!
nyp.33433076054729	“ You knew the old fellow; he was rather a mystery, was n't he? ” Palliser nodded and his eyes rested curiously upon Rex.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You know what he has done to you but how do you know that he might n't have done as bad or worse to someone else?
nyp.33433076054729	“ You mean Gerald Rae- burn, do n't you?
nyp.33433076054729	“ You put a foil in that guy's hand and gave him a chance for his life, did n't you?
nyp.33433076054729	“ You said, Robert, that Mr. Sneed occupied the entire floor here?
nyp.33433076054729	“ You were once in the show business, were n't you? ” “ ‘ Show business? ’ ” George repeated in surprise.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You were once in the show business, were n't you? ” “ ‘ Show business? ’ ” George repeated in surprise.
nyp.33433076054729	“ You ’re afraid we've been cheated, eh?
nyp.33433076054729	“ Your employer's visiting card? ” George asked smooth- ly.
nyp.33433076054729	“ Your two servants formed a sort of bodyguard for her, did they not?
nyp.33433076054729	“ ‘ Peterson ’? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433076054729	“ ‘ Shady Lane? ’ ” The sleepy- looking proprietor scratched his head reflectively.

nyp.33433075727473	2OO CR IMS O N ICE “ When do you go back? ” Dick asked the porter after looking about to see if any one outside of Juliette could hear him.
nyp.33433075727473	54 CR IMS O N ICE “ But it was some time after Lemaire had hit him, was n't it, that the second fracas took place? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	78 CR IMS O N ICE “ Did you ever have a row with Lemaire before? ” “ We usually managed to mix it up whenever we played, ” Kellie replied.
nyp.33433075727473	An odd smile played about the corners of Fallon's mouth and then he started to speak: “ You think you are smart, do n't you?
nyp.33433075727473	And baths, how were they managed?
nyp.33433075727473	And who gave it to him?
nyp.33433075727473	And you wo n't say anything about it, will you? ” “ Not a word.
nyp.33433075727473	Any other announcers? ” The three men exchanged questioning glances.
nyp.33433075727473	Are you afraid of an automobile? ” “ But that is on the ground, ” Duval protested.
nyp.33433075727473	Are you satisfied, Connors, that Bowers could not have administered the poison? ” “ No. ” “ Very well.
nyp.33433075727473	Arizona is a fairly large State, is n't it? ” “ Yes, very large. ” Connor rapped the desk impatiently with his fingers.
nyp.33433075727473	Armand started it. ” “ What does Black say about it? ” “ He says it is foolish talk.
nyp.33433075727473	Armitage was in at- tendance. ” “ May I question Dr. Armitage? ” Dr. Gaige re- quested.
nyp.33433075727473	As a matter of fact, I thought it was just one of his stories. ” “ Do you mean Gaston? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	As they went by, Dick heard Mrs. Curtis say to her husband, “ Is n't that the Bowers boy?
nyp.33433075727473	Because I saw him just before this happened. ” “ How come you have n't seen him for two years?
nyp.33433075727473	Because you told him you would send him to hell, you think we will under- stand? ” Dick did not answer.
nyp.33433075727473	Black, how about you?
nyp.33433075727473	Both Kellie and Lemaire were grabbed by other players. ” “ Who were the players who grabbed Lemaire?
nyp.33433075727473	Bowers, you sure you do n't want me to do nuthin'that ai n't right? ” “ Quite sure, John.
nyp.33433075727473	Brady will know when he performs the autopsy. ” “ Then you are sure he's going to die? ” Connor de- manded.
nyp.33433075727473	But I suppose you know all about that? ” “ No, I did n't, ” Dick replied honestly, “ and I do n't think much of the idea.
nyp.33433075727473	But later Kellie asked me to trust him for a bottle. ” “ Did you? ” “ Sure. ” Dick was excited.
nyp.33433075727473	But the bottle — who put it in Gaston's room and why?
nyp.33433075727473	But was Armand such a stranger?
nyp.33433075727473	But we did n't have a chance for our talk. ” “ One of the things I wanted to know was the capac- ity of the boxes near you that night?
nyp.33433075727473	But what?
nyp.33433075727473	CR IMS O N IC E “ I did. ” They watched in silence for several minutes and then Bowers said, “ Would you rather go home, Dick? ” “ No.

nyp.33433075727473	Ca n't you help us out? ” P L A NS I6 I “ I had n't seen him for two and a half years and then we had an argument, ” Dick reminded him.
nyp.33433075727473	Can you answer that? ” “ I do n't believe he did, ” Black replied.
nyp.33433075727473	Can you recall any such circumstance? ” “ Why would it be important if I could? ” Lecoq asked.

nyp.33433075727473	Captain Connor will be here in a little while. ” “ May we sit down? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Come around to the station- house after I'm through here and I'll let you know all about it. ” “ When will that be? ” one of them asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Could his life be snapped out now because there was piled up against him evi- dence, some of which he could explain and some which he could not?
nyp.33433075727473	Could it be possible that he-"Another idea came into his mind, and he asked, “ How did Black happen to play on the Blue Devils?
nyp.33433075727473	Could n't these men play a game without acting like wild beasts?
nyp.33433075727473	Could they get him out or would he have to wait endless days and go through the horror of a trial?
nyp.33433075727473	Could they indict him for this murder?
nyp.33433075727473	Could you maybe be a little late? ” The porter chuckled.
nyp.33433075727473	Curtis, would you mind waiting outside? ” Connor sounded like a schoolmaster.

nyp.33433075727473	Did he say anything about it? ” “ He said he was going back to Arizona next sum- mer, ” Fallon answered.
nyp.33433075727473	Did it have any connection with Gaston's murder, or was it, as the police believed, a blind which was to cover the real cause of Gaston's death?
nyp.33433075727473	Did it have anything to do with the murder?
nyp.33433075727473	Did n't I tell you?
nyp.33433075727473	Did n't you tell me you were going to fly up? ” Duval asked.

nyp.33433075727473	Did she love Fallon?
nyp.33433075727473	Did they ever talk to Armand, ask him questions about Gaston's father, gold and the desert? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075727473	Did they think he would try to commit suicide?
nyp.33433075727473	Did you have trouble waking me this morning? ” “ I certainly did. ” “ I ’m lucky to be alive, ” Dick said.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you keep it? ” “ Sure. ” “ The authorities do great things with notes and let- ters.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you notice that flip of Knox's as I was coming down? ” 4.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you notice? ” Duval asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you see it? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you see the knife? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you see the way he went for that horrible man? ” she asked with pride.
nyp.33433075727473	Did you use one of those small bottles which Lecoq was so fond of buying?
nyp.33433075727473	Do n't you see I could n't have done it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Do n't you see? ” “ It seems such a little motive for a murder, ” she protested.
nyp.33433075727473	Do n't you want something to eat? ” he asked Juliette.
nyp.33433075727473	Do you know what it was? ” “ Gaston wrote to me last week and said that strange things were happening to him.
nyp.33433075727473	Do you know? ” “ Yes, through Gaston.
nyp.33433075727473	Do you mind if I tell them about the map? ” he asked Juliette.
nyp.33433075727473	Do you realize, Bill, that this is Saturday night?
nyp.33433075727473	Do you remember them and things like that? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Do you suppose there is gold out there?
nyp.33433075727473	Do you take me for a Dago? ” It was evident that Kellie had the true Nordic dis- taste for knives.
nyp.33433075727473	Do you want them to see you like this?
nyp.33433075727473	Do you? ” “ I ’m not sure, ” she answered honestly.

nyp.33433075727473	Does this map business explain the things which have been happening to me?
nyp.33433075727473	Dr. Gaige will be sure to come? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433075727473	Each pair I shine I wonder how much tip I'm gon na get. ” “ You have it all figured out ahead of time? ” “ You ca n't always figure.
nyp.33433075727473	Explain it, will you, please?
nyp.33433075727473	Fallon said, ‘ Well, it will be a long day before I speak to him again! ’ ” “ I wonder what Mr. Fallon meant? ” Dick queried.
nyp.33433075727473	Fallon said, “ Did you speak to him? ” and Lecoq said, ‘ No.'
nyp.33433075727473	Finally he said, “ I ’m going out. ” “ Be late? ” his father asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Gaston did n't know and could n't be prepared. ” “ Have you any plans, son? ” “ Yes, but they are rather hazy for the moment.
nyp.33433075727473	Had he been able UN DE R S US PIC I O N 99 to get Judge Williams and a toxicologist?
nyp.33433075727473	Had his name and his father's influence anything to do with it?
nyp.33433075727473	Had they slept or had they worked during the long stretch to add new evidence to that already piled up against him?
nyp.33433075727473	Have they gone on with the game? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Have you any idea what made him so cross? ” T H E W E B O F EV IDEN CE 75 “ No idea at all, ” Duval answered.
nyp.33433075727473	Have you eaten anything this morning? ” “ No, sir, but I am terribly thirsty. ” “ That's a symptom.
nyp.33433075727473	He did n't say. ” “ I wonder what could have been troubling him? ” “ It may have been money, ” Black suggested.
nyp.33433075727473	He had been in once and was on his way back with supplies when I met him. ” “ Was he ever found? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	He is probably fully aware of the fact that I know who he is. ” “ You do? ” Lecoq was amazed.
nyp.33433075727473	He knew I did n't like him. ” “ You were pretty sore at him for taking your place on the team, were n't you? ” “ He did n't take my place.
nyp.33433075727473	He knew they were worried and upset, but why did n't they take just a few minutes to write to him?
nyp.33433075727473	He left me there and went on alone. ” “ What was he doing there? ” “ He was prospecting.
nyp.33433075727473	He made it easy for me to get on the team as an extra. ” “ Did you like him? ” Connor demanded.
nyp.33433075727473	He told me that men often vanished in the desert. ” “ Did you see the map? ” “ Oh, no. ” Armand was emphatic.
nyp.33433075727473	He told me they would make me rich some day. ” “ Where are they? ” Dick thought he might be on the trail of something interesting.
nyp.33433075727473	He wanted to know what had happened to his father. ” “ Can you add anything to what Armand has told us? ” Martin asked Fallon.
nyp.33433075727473	He was coming toward the door as I opened it. ” “ Did you hear any of the conversation? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ What? ” “ The man was angry.
nyp.33433075727473	He was coming toward the door as I opened it. ” “ Did you hear any of the conversation? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ What? ” “ The man was angry.
nyp.33433075727473	He was n't himself at all. ” “ How do you mean? ” Martin asked.
nyp.33433075727473	He was startled out of his thoughts by his father's voice asking, “ Are you sure you want to stay, son? ” “ Er — yes.
nyp.33433075727473	He will be with Lecoq. ” “ When did you plan to leave Boston? ” “ To- morrow. ” “ Do n’t.
nyp.33433075727473	He would n't want to mail it from Chin Lee. ” “ Then you have discussed this with the men on the team? ” “ Often, ” Armand admitted.
nyp.33433075727473	He's been in Boston several times during that period, has n't he? ” “ I suppose so, but I have n't happened to be here.
nyp.33433075727473	How about you, Mr. Knobbs?
nyp.33433075727473	How did he get it?
nyp.33433075727473	How did it get into the room, then?
nyp.33433075727473	How did the poison get in it?
nyp.33433075727473	How do I know what will happen to me if I tell anything?
nyp.33433075727473	How had the knife been thrown?
nyp.33433075727473	How long do you think you were away from your microphone when you went over to look at the body? ” “ Probably not more than a minute.
nyp.33433075727473	How long do you want to be gone? ” “ I thought we could be back in a week if we have decent weather. ” “ Easy.
nyp.33433075727473	How much longer will the game go on? ” “ I do n't know, ” Dolin answered.
nyp.33433075727473	How would she act?
nyp.33433075727473	I am sure of that. ” “ What could they want? ” Lelong asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I collects the shoes right enough. ” “ You shine them too, do n't you? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433075727473	I could n't do anything more than smile at you last night. ” “ Were you under suspicion all the time — even then? ” Black asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I do n't. ” “ Then, who did? ” Jerry asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I guess I ’m scared. ” “ What about? ” Lecoq asked quickly.
nyp.33433075727473	I have been abroad and I have been South or somewhere each time the Blue Devils played in Boston. ” “ Did n't he write to you? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I knew Mr. Duval would send me for Lemaire, so I started for the door. ” “ Did n't you wait to be told what to do? ” the Judge asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I made it on tissue- paper and kept it in the barrel of my automatic pencil. ” “ You did?
nyp.33433075727473	I never imagined — How could I know what would happen?
nyp.33433075727473	I spoke to him for getting a major penalty. ” “ You did n't bawl him out while he was out of the game, then? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I think you are a pretty shrewd observer. ” “ But you do n't think the cop did it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	I want the murderer found and I want my own name cleared. ” “ Why do n't you start now?
nyp.33433075727473	I want to see Duval; he can help me if he will. ” “ Duval? ” Juliette asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I was just thinking. ” “ About the girl? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075727473	I was talking about shoes. ” “ Do you know who the young lady is? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Who told you? ” “ One of them hockey players.
nyp.33433075727473	I was talking about shoes. ” “ Do you know who the young lady is? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Who told you? ” “ One of them hockey players.
nyp.33433075727473	I ’ve seen them knock over a full bottle and buy another one. ” “ So you think the cop did it? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I'd be out money if I missed one. ” “ You are sure of that? ” “ Positive. ” “ Fine.
nyp.33433075727473	I'll tell you what to do with them later. ” “ What do you want to do with the players? ” Snell asked.
nyp.33433075727473	I'm going down there. ” “ How can you do it? ” Aunt Priscilla asked.

nyp.33433075727473	I66 CR IMS O N ICE “ What do you want to talk to me about? ” the boy asked.
nyp.33433075727473	If George Black had pulled the knife out of Gaston's back, why did n't he say so?
nyp.33433075727473	If I do n't, call me when you come back again, will you? ” “ If I come back. ” What the devil did he mean?
nyp.33433075727473	If I do n't, call me when you come back again, will you? ” “ If I come back. ” What the devil did he mean?
nyp.33433075727473	If Lemaire found gold I do n't believe he would have been able to get out with it. ” “ Why not? ” Martin asked.
nyp.33433075727473	If she felt about him as Gaston had felt, would she refuse to speak to him, too?
nyp.33433075727473	If you have any information to give, will you go to the office of Mr. Lodge, the manager of the arena and wait there?
nyp.33433075727473	If you think I killed Le- maire it is quite all right with me. ” 264 CR IMS ON ICE “ Why should I think you killed Lemaire? ” Dick parried.
nyp.33433075727473	If you want to be in Quebec by to- morrow, you'll have to take the train. ” “ Are you sure, Bill?
nyp.33433075727473	If you were in such a position you would want to do some- thing about it, would n't you? ” “ Yes, ” Mr. Bowers agreed.
nyp.33433075727473	In the morning it was gone. ” “ It was taken, you mean? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433075727473	Is it Harvard? ” “ Did you go to Harvard? ” Jerry asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Is it Harvard? ” “ Did you go to Harvard? ” Jerry asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Is that right? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Is that right? ” “ Oh, that!
nyp.33433075727473	Is that right? ” “ Yeah. ” “ Then go on with your idea. ” “ Well, Lemaire and Kellie did n't row in the box the way some players do.
nyp.33433075727473	Is there a map?
nyp.33433075727473	Is there anything I can do? ” “ Nothing until the police arrive.
nyp.33433075727473	It happened several times. ” “ I wonder why? ” Dick was thoughtful.
nyp.33433075727473	It is not like the college sport. ” “ I think so. ” “ Why this sudden interest in the game? ” Duval was too shrewd to be fooled for long.
nyp.33433075727473	It is probably true enough. ” “ Do you think it is possible that some one did give or send Mr. Lemaire a map of that country? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	It leaves its impression indelibly on your mind. ” “ Is that why some married people act so queerly? ” Dick asked bitterly.
nyp.33433075727473	It was Fallon who remembered that Lemaire was drinking Coca Cola. ” “ Which proves what? ” Connor asked testily.
nyp.33433075727473	It was then that I looked down the ice and saw Lemaire slid- ing along on his face. ” “ Did you see the knife thrown? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	It would go down as a remarkable un- solved crime. ” “ And you are sure you can solve it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075727473	It would, you know. ” “ Had he been robbed? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	It's worse than a prize- fight. ” “ Do you like fights, too? ” Mrs. Curtis asked in the most friendly of voices.
nyp.33433075727473	Later he put it down and listened to what I had to say. ” “ Which dressing- room were you in? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Lecoq got drunk last night for the first time in long enough. ” “ Is that so? ” Dick asked, pretending surprize.
nyp.33433075727473	Lecoq might have means of getting such information. ” “ Just what is the story of Lemaire's father?
nyp.33433075727473	Lemaire spent a summer out there trying to find the old man. ” “ How about the map?
nyp.33433075727473	Lemaire told me he had done the old man a favor. ” “ Why are you so sure he found gold? ” Martin insisted.
nyp.33433075727473	May I see him in here? ” “ Surely.
nyp.33433075727473	Maybe I'll get killed. ” 218 CR IMS O N ICE “ Yes, sir. ” “ Were you short a towel this morning? ” “ No, ” John said.
nyp.33433075727473	Mr. Duval had to send for him. ” “ Where was Lemaire? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ And you did n't sit next to him? ” “ No.

nyp.33433075727473	My guess is that she has been tampered with in some way. ” “ And there is no hope of hopping off this after- noon? ” “ I would n't risk it.
nyp.33433075727473	Naturally I listened after that. ” “ What did the announcer say? ” “ He said Gaston had fallen.
nyp.33433075727473	No one will ever know what happened to her father, and the secret of gold is safe with your people. ” “ Why did you do it? ” Black asked.

nyp.33433075727473	One at the end of the second period and one at the beginning of the third. ” “ Who was in the penalty box? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	One of the men, I suppose. ” CR IMS O N ICE 3 I “ How long has this bad blood between the two men existed? ” Connor asked Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	Perhaps they knew each other much better than we realize. ” “ Have n't you tried to find out? ” Bill asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Practically all we ever owned has gone. ” “ But why? ” “ Gaston says it was bad management on the part of J U L IETTE I 35 our guardians.
nyp.33433075727473	Say, are you thinking of landing any- where in the desert? ”- “ We might want to.
nyp.33433075727473	Say, what's the matter with the ship, anyhow? ” “ I do n't know and we are trying to find out.
nyp.33433075727473	Sleuthing? ” Fallon asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Some private detective work, eh? ” “ It might be that. ” “ Why are you so sure that one of my men is guilty? ” Duval demanded.
nyp.33433075727473	Some private detective work, eh? ” “ It might be that. ” “ Why are you so sure that one of my men is guilty? ” Duval demanded.
nyp.33433075727473	Strangely enough, after 246 CR IMS O N ICE “ Do you think you will be with us long? ” Lecoq asked.
nyp.33433075727473	The District Attorney! ” “ Did you like the story? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	The whole thing. ”- “ Lemaire would give you no explanation? ” Mr. Bowers asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Then he fell down face forward and slid along the ice. ” “ Did you see him as he fell? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Then what did? ” “ I ca n't tell.
nyp.33433075727473	Then who would? ” He fell silent for a long time after that.
nyp.33433075727473	There are two of them in there having a good time talking about their troubles. ” “ Did you tell them to stay there? ” “ You bet.
nyp.33433075727473	There is no reason why they should. ” “ Why should n't they like you? ” Priscilla demanded.
nyp.33433075727473	There was a man with him. ” “ Did you see the man? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075727473	There'll be none of that for me. ” “ Has the girl married? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433075727473	They may know something. ” “ Still planning this mad trip of yours? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075727473	They take too long. ” “ You suspect some one? ” Lelong asked.
nyp.33433075727473	They think you are here as a spy. ” “ What do you think? ” Dick asked quickly.
nyp.33433075727473	Things have been thrown before and nothing was ever done about it. ” “ Shall I tell him, Doctor? ” Dolin asked.
nyp.33433075727473	To the boy he said, “ Let ’s just talk about it. ” “ You mean just talk? ” Jerry was skeptical.
nyp.33433075727473	Tucson? ” “ No, in the north.
nyp.33433075727473	Was Black afraid of him?
nyp.33433075727473	Was he a fool, after all?
nyp.33433075727473	Was he eating anything? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	Was he too late?
nyp.33433075727473	Was it a sign?
nyp.33433075727473	Was it be- cause all eyes were trained on the group at one side of the ice that the murderer had had cover to throw the knife?.
nyp.33433075727473	Was it because of Lemaire? ” T H E W E B O F EV II) E N C E 67 “ Partly, ” Black replied.
nyp.33433075727473	Was it done to incriminate him?
nyp.33433075727473	Was n't he drinking while you were talking to him? ” Duval's face lit up.
nyp.33433075727473	Was n't it horrible? ” Mrs. Curtis cut in with obvious relish.
nyp.33433075727473	Was the murderer aware of his visit to Gaston's room?
nyp.33433075727473	Was this the working out of an old feud? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	We are not supposed to report horror over the air! ”- “ Then why did you complain because you did not know about the knife? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	We did n't mean anything by it. ” “ So you go around tripping people just for fun, is that it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	We must save him! ” “ For the gallows? ” Fallon sneered.
nyp.33433075727473	We were all there. ” “ Did you sit next to Lemaire? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	We were just friends. ” “ How is it you are playing with the Blue Devils?
nyp.33433075727473	We will know either way in about a week. ” “ How do you figure that? ” Mr. Bowers was in- terested.
nyp.33433075727473	Were innocent men murdered by the State?
nyp.33433075727473	Were they afraid to try their tricks on him or were they just exaggerated stories he had heard?
nyp.33433075727473	Were they all full? ” “ I do n't believe there was a vacant seat in the house that night.
nyp.33433075727473	Were they downstairs?
nyp.33433075727473	Were they killed un- justly?
nyp.33433075727473	Were you an intimate friend of Lemaire's while you were in col- lege? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	What are we going to do? ” “ Keep your shirt on, Lodge.
nyp.33433075727473	What can I do?
nyp.33433075727473	What did Aunt Priscilla think of the implications under the picture of him standing at the spot where Gaston had fallen?
nyp.33433075727473	What did Fallon mean?
nyp.33433075727473	What did you do about such things when you were in prison?
nyp.33433075727473	What did you mean when you said that? ” “ Lemaire was in Arizona and I saw him. ” “ How did that happen?
nyp.33433075727473	What did you mean when you said that? ” “ Lemaire was in Arizona and I saw him. ” “ How did that happen?
nyp.33433075727473	What do you call it? ” Armitage was nettled by Connor's tone.
nyp.33433075727473	What do you mean?
nyp.33433075727473	What do you suppose he is doing here? ” Dick fell in at the end of the procession.
nyp.33433075727473	What do you think of the Indians you see in Santa Fé or at the rail- road station in Albuquerque?
nyp.33433075727473	What do you think you will find? ” Lodge grumbled.
nyp.33433075727473	What do you want to do?
nyp.33433075727473	What do you want? ” “ I ’d like to play hockey. ” “ Can you play? ” “ I played in college. ” “ But could you stand this game?
nyp.33433075727473	What do you want? ” “ I ’d like to play hockey. ” “ Can you play? ” “ I played in college. ” “ But could you stand this game?

nyp.33433075727473	What does she say?
nyp.33433075727473	What good could have come of their discovery?
nyp.33433075727473	What had Connor and Martin been doing during the night?
nyp.33433075727473	What had he done?
nyp.33433075727473	What had he read?
nyp.33433075727473	What happened to Lemaire, anyhow? ” “ Lemaire died before he reached the hospital, ” Con- nor said quietly.
nyp.33433075727473	What happened to it? ” “ I was looking at it one night trying to figure out our position in relation to the map.
nyp.33433075727473	What have you to suggest? ” the Judge asked patiently.
nyp.33433075727473	What should you forget? ” “ I went out with Quirk after the fights last night and got into an argument with Lecoq.
nyp.33433075727473	What was behind Gaston's odd behavior?
nyp.33433075727473	What was getting into his head?
nyp.33433075727473	What was it doing there?
nyp.33433075727473	What was one injured man to a gang of wild and excited fans?
nyp.33433075727473	What was the idea? ” “ What idea? ” Dick asked back.
nyp.33433075727473	What was the idea? ” “ What idea? ” Dick asked back.
nyp.33433075727473	What were we, two hundred years ago?
nyp.33433075727473	What would happen?
nyp.33433075727473	What would she be like now after two years and more?
nyp.33433075727473	What's yours? ” “ I think there is something more to this than we know, Jerry.
nyp.33433075727473	What? ” “ I gave you a dollar. ” “ I knew you and the young lady was regular people 2 I2 CR IMS O N ICE- from the start.
nyp.33433075727473	When Celeste had gone she asked, “ But why should they want to kill you? ” “ Because the murderer is afraid.
nyp.33433075727473	When I returned home the house had been searched from top to bot- tom. ” “ Did you tell Gaston about it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	When did he get it?
nyp.33433075727473	When they had given their orders Quirk asked, “ What are you after? ” “ I do n't know, ” Dick replied honestly.
nyp.33433075727473	When was it placed there?
nyp.33433075727473	When was that? ” “ It was near the beginning of the record I kept, ” Jerry answered after a moment's consideration.
nyp.33433075727473	When would his father come?
nyp.33433075727473	Where did you get the vial which held the poison?
nyp.33433075727473	Where do you want to go in Arizona?
nyp.33433075727473	Where was his father?
nyp.33433075727473	Who could have done it and how did he manage to escape detection?
nyp.33433075727473	Who could have killed Gaston?
nyp.33433075727473	Who would benefit by Gaston's death?
nyp.33433075727473	Why are you hiding her? ” “ Miss Lemaire is a guest at my house, ” Dick said icily.
nyp.33433075727473	Why are you keeping her from her friends?
nyp.33433075727473	Why could n't he do it?
nyp.33433075727473	Why could n't he say all the things he wanted to say to her?
nyp.33433075727473	Why could n't he think of something decent?
nyp.33433075727473	Why did Lemaire tell Armand about it? ” That question had been bothering Dick for a long time.
nyp.33433075727473	Why did n't he want to meet Juliette?
nyp.33433075727473	Why did n't the others come?
nyp.33433075727473	Why did n't the others come?
nyp.33433075727473	Why did n't you ask me about them?
nyp.33433075727473	Why did she tell me it was just a flirtation?
nyp.33433075727473	Why did you use such a diluted dose to kill Lemaire? ” Armitage asked Fallon.
nyp.33433075727473	Why do n't they leave them where they belong? ” “ He seems like a nice enough fellow.
nyp.33433075727473	Why do n't you pick on a man who can fight back? ” “ Meaning you? ”- “ Meaning me. ” Dick was quivering, but he was fu- riously angry.

nyp.33433075727473	Why does Gaston refuse to talk to me about it?
nyp.33433075727473	Why had n't some one seen it in the air?
nyp.33433075727473	Why had things conspired to make him seem guilty?
nyp.33433075727473	Why is all this neces- sary? ” Fallon asked Connor when he rejoined the group.
nyp.33433075727473	Why is he dying? ” “ What are doctors for? ” Connor retorted.
nyp.33433075727473	Why is he dying? ” “ What are doctors for? ” Connor retorted.
nyp.33433075727473	Why should he? ” she asked Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	Why should n't he come back?
nyp.33433075727473	Why should n't you be a spy?
nyp.33433075727473	Why should they all fear me? ” “ Because you might make trouble for them, ” Lecoq answered.
nyp.33433075727473	Why was he afraid when he knew he had nothing to fear?
nyp.33433075727473	Why was it so easy to be casual?
nyp.33433075727473	Why?
nyp.33433075727473	Why?
nyp.33433075727473	Why?
nyp.33433075727473	Why? ” “ I can not be friends with a man who does not trust me, ” Black answered.
nyp.33433075727473	Will you call Dr. Holley?
nyp.33433075727473	Will you do it the way I want it done? ” “ Why are you doing this? ” Duval asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Will you do it the way I want it done? ” “ Why are you doing this? ” Duval asked.
nyp.33433075727473	Will you do it? ” “ Sure.
nyp.33433075727473	Will you do that? ” John nodded, his eyes wide with astonishment.
nyp.33433075727473	Will you, if I'm not out? ” UN DE R S US PIC I ON III Mr. Bowers nodded.
nyp.33433075727473	Would Black know anything about Gaston's behavior?
nyp.33433075727473	Would Judge Williams be able to 98 CR IMS O N ICE- do anything for him?
nyp.33433075727473	Would Juliette believe him guilty?
nyp.33433075727473	Would Juliette let any of them be friendly to 96 C R IMS O N ICE her?
nyp.33433075727473	Would he be able to prove the facts in his own case?
nyp.33433075727473	Would he be allowed to see them?
nyp.33433075727473	Would he ever know why Gaston had turned against him and had refused his offer of friend- ship?
nyp.33433075727473	Would she be nice to Juliette?
nyp.33433075727473	Would she go home with him or would she insist on going to a hotel?
nyp.33433075727473	Would that come later?
nyp.33433075727473	Would the murderer show his hand?
nyp.33433075727473	Would they hold him?
nyp.33433075727473	Would they keep him in jail?
nyp.33433075727473	Would they ride on and never say a word?
nyp.33433075727473	Would they suspect even her when he had cleared himself?
nyp.33433075727473	Would they try to make him confess to a crime which he had not committed?
nyp.33433075727473	You did receive a wire?
nyp.33433075727473	You think you are clever, do n't you, Connor?
nyp.33433075727473	You were a friend of his, eh?
nyp.33433075727473	You were somewhere near him all the time, were n't you? ”- “ Yes. ” “ Did anything unusual happen? ” “ No.

nyp.33433075727473	“ A case for the police?
nyp.33433075727473	“ After Lemaire left you, what did you do? ” “ I started back for my seat and met Archie Cabot.
nyp.33433075727473	“ And now that you know, are n't you afraid I will kill you, too? ” “ How did you know I had been in Arizona? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ And now that you know, are n't you afraid I will kill you, too? ” “ How did you know I had been in Arizona? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Any more questions? ” Con- nor asked Martin, who shook his head.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Are these yours? ” he asked her.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Are you going back to Quebec for good? ” Black asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Are you ready? ” The intern nodded.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Are you suggesting that my conscience is not clear? ” Juliette asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Are you sure you will be all right? ” she asked anxiously.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Are you sure, Dr. Armi- tage? ” “ There can be no doubt about it. ” Snell and Duval were equally amazed.
nyp.33433075727473	“ As bad as that, eh? ” “ Not then.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Aunty, what do you mean? ” UN DE R S US PIC I O N Io.7 “ This is all my fault, ” she said.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Aunty, ” Dick said, “ did you listen to the game on Sunday night? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Black was between us at the back of the room on a bench. ” “ How about it, Duval? ” Martin turned to the man- ager.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Bring the rest of my clothes, will you? ” he said as he made for the door of the drawing- room.
nyp.33433075727473	“ But how could I?
nyp.33433075727473	“ But if you are wrong? ” Juliette whispered.
nyp.33433075727473	“ But now we know that you had an argument, now that you have been found out, you think it would be wise to tell us — is that right?
nyp.33433075727473	“ But suppose it was poisoned? ” Connor protested.
nyp.33433075727473	“ But why should they fear me? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Ca n't you tell me anything? ” “ You ask the questions and I answer them, ” Black replied.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Can you save him? ” Connor demanded.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Come on, surely you ought to know that? ” Connor prompted.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Could I shave or something? ” “ After your breakfast, ” the man called back.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Could you come to see me at this address in about an hour?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Cute, ai n't they? ” Bill fished a bar of chocolate from his pocket and handed half of it to Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did Kellie strike Lemaire? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did Lemaire chew gum? ” Martin asked Duval, who shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did Lemaire eat anything to- night after he came to the arena? ” There was nothing but stony silence.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did any one offer Lemaire a drink of any kind just after he fell?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did he eat or drink anything at that time? ” “ No, sir. ” “ Very good, Henri.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did he say anything? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did n't you ask him that the first time you saw him? ” “ We did n't have time then, ” Dick replied.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did the knife come from the group of players? ” Connor asked the woman.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did they love once and marry for other reasons?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you get Dr. Holley? ” Dick inquired as soon as they were seated.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you know about it, too? ” Dick demanded of his father.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you know about it? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you notice the knife in his back then? ” “ I did n't notice it until he had fallen, ” Armand an- swered.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you see or notice anything about the people there?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you see the knife? ” “ Heavens, no!
nyp.33433075727473	“ Did you see this gentleman again last night? ” Henri turned his bright black eyes toward Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do n’t you see? ” he ended.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do n’t you think I am right? ” “ I know you are. ” “ It seems to me that Black had the best motive of them all.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do the authorities know about last night? ” Lelong interrupted.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do they think that possession of the map will stop the authorities from looking for them? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you know anything about what happened or was it as your husband says, just too much blood for you? ” Connor asked Mrs. Knobbs.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you know what happened? ” Armitage began his recital of the few minutes prior to Gaston's fall on the ice.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you mean Armand the referee? ” Connor lost no time in following up the information.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you mind going? ” Dick asked Quirk.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you suppose I'd be fool enough to drink poison?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you use it in your polish? ” “ We do. ” “ Why have n't you seen Lemaire in two years? ” “ I told you before.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you use it in your polish? ” “ We do. ” “ Why have n't you seen Lemaire in two years? ” “ I told you before.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Do you want to make a statement? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Does any one know?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Ex- plain my absence, will you? ” “ Surely.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Go up to her later, wo n't you, and see if there is anything you can do? ” She patted his cheek.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Got your gun?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Hanging around until we caught you. ” “ Caught me? ” Dick had not thought they would believe him guilty.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Has Lemaire talked about his father or the map recently? ” Armand turned to Fallon.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Have a cigar? ”- “ I found him, ” Dick answered.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Have you any idea why it was done? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Have you boys any information about Lemaire or what happened? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Have you ever been up? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433075727473	“ He got in your way, did n't he? ” was Connor's next question.
nyp.33433075727473	“ He rarely gave reasons for any of his actions. ” J U L IETTE I 2 I “ Do you know why he was worried? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ He said he did n't have it with him. ” T H E W E B O F EV II) E N C E 85 “ And did you believe him? ” Martin asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ He was, but since his father disappeared he has suf- fered tremendous losses. ” “ Just how bad? ” “ That I do n't know.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Hello, Armitage, what have we here? ” he asked as he spied the other doctor.
nyp.33433075727473	“ His father is a chief, they tell me. ” “ A college- bred Indian, eh? ” Connor remarked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ His heart was better than yours. ” “ Then, for God's sake, tell me what did kill him?
nyp.33433075727473	“ How about the cigar? ” Funny thing about Father, Dick thought, he always knows when not to ask personal questions.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How about the poison? ” Martin fired at him.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How about you, Fallon?
nyp.33433075727473	“ How about your man Kellie?
nyp.33433075727473	“ How did he act? ” “ He was upset and I was scolding him — you must remember that, ” Duval replied.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How do you think you are going to get out of this? ” “ If you will only let me explain what happened you will believe me.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How does it feel to be the feature player? ” Lecoq asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How long did they hold Lemaire? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How long was Lemaire in the dressing- room with you during that last rest period? ” “ Probably three minutes, ” Duval answered.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How long will it take me to get over being chloro- formed? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How old are you? ” “ Fifteen. ” “ High school? ” “ Another year if I can stick it.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How old are you? ” “ Fifteen. ” “ High school? ” “ Another year if I can stick it.
nyp.33433075727473	“ How would you give it to him if you wanted to kill him? ” Jerry asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I am, but I have n't seen him for more than two years. ” “ Then how is it you know so much about him? ” “ Because he was a friend of mine.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I beg your pardon? ” “ I was thinking out loud.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I do n't know. ” “ I thought you said you were a friend of Lemaire's? ” Connor said.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I see. ” “ But do you? ” He raced on.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I sent him. ” “ Was Lemaire alone? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I suppose the other men on the team talked about Gaston quite a bit? ” “ Naturally.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I thought you had a date? ” Lecoq looked at his watch.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I ’ve been over here doing a little private sleuthing. ” “ Going in for it, eh? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ I ’ve just given him a heart stimulant, but I do n't believe it will keep him going. ” “ What about the wound? ” Brady asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ In my safe- deposit box. ” “ Do you know if they have become valuable? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Is he here? ” Connor prompted.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Is it that serious? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Is n't there any chance at all, Doctor? ” “ I'm afraid not.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Is this the place? ” he asked Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Is this where you saw Lemaire? ” Connor asked Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Is you sick? ” the porter asked a little anxiously.
nyp.33433075727473	“ It is the price I am paying for not minding my own business. ” “ Good guns, what are you talking about? ” Mr. Bowers exclaimed.
nyp.33433075727473	“ It must have been early in the game. ” “ Do you ever forget and then put them down after? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Just a mine of information, was n't he? ” Martin observed.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Just what are you driving at? ” Dick demanded.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Knife, eh? ” Brady took his stethoscope out of his bag.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Lecoq, you did n't like Lemaire, did you? ” “ No. ” The answer came back swift and sure, some- what to Connor's amazement.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Lemaire and Lecoq were n't on speaking terms. ” “ Why not? ” “ Tell it all now, ” Duval said hopelessly.
nyp.33433075727473	“ May we go somewhere where we will not be over- heard? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ No, he had a room of his own. ” “ Where is Lemaire's dressing- room? ” Connor de- manded of Lodge, who was hovering about nervously.
nyp.33433075727473	“ No. ” “ Then I would n't if I were you. ” “ You think I'm a nut, do n't you? ” Jerry asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Now we are getting it. ” But he said, “ Why not? ” Lecoq shrugged.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Now what? ” he asked Connor.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Oh, what's the use? ” He turned away.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Priscilla”—there was no mistaking the command in his voice—“what have you been doing? ” “ Meddling. ” “ Yes, but how and when?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Priscilla”—there was no mistaking the command in his voice—“what have you been doing? ” “ Meddling. ” “ Yes, but how and when?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Say, how did you get out of jail?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Say, how would you like a nice bot- tle of beer? ” “ If you are thirsty, take a mouthful of water from the canteen.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Say, what is he, anyhow?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Say, you did n't tell any- body you were going with me, did you? ” Dick was thoughtful for a moment.
nyp.33433075727473	“ See that hole?
nyp.33433075727473	“ See to it that he is where I can find him when I want him. ” “ You mean to- night? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Suppose the cop wanted to kill Lemaire? ” He paused for the effect and looked at Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ That makes it very simple, does n't it? ” “ I wish the rest of it was as simple, ” Connor said wistfully.
nyp.33433075727473	“ That's a funny way to kill a man, is n't it? ” the boy asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ That, if you do n't mind, must be a secret between Juliette and me. ” “ How do you feel now? ” Lelong asked Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ The knife was in his back, eh? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Then this fight to- night was one of old standing? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Then who did? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Where did the knife come from? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Then who did? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Where did the knife come from? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433075727473	“ There are a lot of things I ’d like to find out, though. ” “ Such as P ” 18o CR IMS O N ICE are you doing with Juliette Lemaire?
nyp.33433075727473	“ They had just reached the door when I caught up with them. ” “ Did they go into the room? ” “ No. ” Henri stopped for a moment.
nyp.33433075727473	“ They were good friends. ” “ But not chummy? ” “ No. ” Duval shrugged again.
nyp.33433075727473	“ This is it. ” “ How come he rated a room of his own? ” Connor asked Lodge.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Very interesting. ” “ What are you driving at? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Was any one near him when he fell? ” “ No.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Was he sick?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Was it an Eng- lish program you heard? ” “ Certainly; you know I do n't understand French. ” “ It's all right.
nyp.33433075727473	“ We have cer- tainly gone a quarter of a mile. ” “ What ought to be near here? ” “ The way up, ” Dick explained.
nyp.33433075727473	“ We were talking about it the other night, remember?
nyp.33433075727473	“ We ’re not getting very far, are we? ” “ You never do with a case like this, ” Martin re- plied.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Well, Bowers?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Well, it will probably always remain a mystery. ” “ Do n’t you know of any motive? ” Lecoq asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Were there any members of the team in our car last night? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Were you in the dressing- room all through the rest period? ” Connor went on.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Were you there when Lemaire was stricken? ” UN DE R S US PIC I O N 117 Brady denied it, saying, “ Dr.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Were you with Lemaire during the last intermis- sion? ” “ I was in the dressing- room with the other players.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What are you butting in for? ” Primeau turned to Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What are you doing here?
nyp.33433075727473	“ What are you doing in here? ” Connor asked with an assumption of personal gruffness.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What are you going to do? ” George asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What business are you in, Bowers? ” “ I ’m with my father.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What can I do for you? ” “ I do n't know, but to- morrow night at the game I want you to keep your eyes on me.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What can we prove? ” “ Nothing, I guess. ” Bill admitted.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What did Lemaire do? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What did she say in the telegram? ” he asked after a long moment of silence.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What do you know about Lemaire's father? ” “ His father? ” Armand seemed surprised.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What do you know about Lemaire's father? ” “ His father? ” Armand seemed surprised.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What do you mean ‘ partly ’?
nyp.33433075727473	“ What do you think of him? ” “ I do n't know, of course.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What happened to Lemaire?
nyp.33433075727473	“ What happened? ” “ Some one said that Lemaire had met a friend out- side.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What has Arizona got to do with a murder here in Boston? ” “ That's what I want to find out. ” “ Come on, spill it.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What have you been doing, Priscilla Bow- ers? ” Dick assumed a deep voice and tried to make it amusing.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What have you done? ” Brady asked Armitage.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What have you found? ” “ The crack. ” “ Oh. ” Bill looked at it and then at Dick.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What have you to say, Brady? ” “ Gaige is right, ” Brady agreed.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What have you to say, Brady? ” “ Gaige is right, ” Brady agreed.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What is it, Celeste? ” Juliette called.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What is it, Dolin? ” “ Call your specials and tell them to keep every en- trance and exit to this place closed until the police arrive.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What is it, my dear? ” Juliette introduced Dick and told Lelong that she was not the patient.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What is it? ” “ There is a letter here from Gaston, ” she said.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What is your name? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What kind of a job? ” “ I ca n't tell you now.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What poison? ” “ What do you think killed Lemaire? ” “ How do I know? ” Kellie replied sullenly.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What poison? ” “ What do you think killed Lemaire? ” “ How do I know? ” Kellie replied sullenly.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What poison? ” “ What do you think killed Lemaire? ” “ How do I know? ” Kellie replied sullenly.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What was he doing during the rest period? ” “ Nothing.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What would you like? ” Juliette asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What's been done? ” Connor asked Dolin.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What's happened? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What's on your mind, Dick? ” he asked as he struggled with a tight nut.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What's the matter with you? ” “ I must have done something unwittingly that hurt Gaston very much.
nyp.33433075727473	“ What?
nyp.33433075727473	“ What? ” “ You did n't tell me what college you preferred.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where did he get it? ” “ The pop boys always kept him supplied. ” “ I wonder if any of the boys are here? ” Martin asked Lodge.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where did he get it? ” “ The pop boys always kept him supplied. ” “ I wonder if any of the boys are here? ” Martin asked Lodge.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where did the knife come from? ” Connor asked, and met a stony silence.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where is she? ” “ In Lodge's office.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where were your men during the last intermission? ” “ In the dressing- room. ” “ Did you see Lemaire there? ” “ I certainly did.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where were your men during the last intermission? ” “ In the dressing- room. ” “ Did you see Lemaire there? ” “ I certainly did.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where's Dr. Brady? ” Connor asked as he went over to stand beside Martin.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where's Lodge? ”- Lodge, the manager of the arena, stepped forward.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Where's your office? ” Connor next asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Which one among you knew Lemaire the best? ” “ No one was what you would call intimate with him, ” Duval spoke up.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Which one of you boys sold Lemaire his Coca Cola? ” Connor asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Who are you? ” Dick told him.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Who are you? ” Martin snapped.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Who is this Duval? ” “ He ’s the manager of the Blue Devils. ” “ Is he all right? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Who is this Duval? ” “ He ’s the manager of the Blue Devils. ” “ Is he all right? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why my crowd? ” Duval asked, his indignation making him stammer just a trifle.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why not? ” Dick responded quickly.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why not? ” Lecoq insisted, ignoring Fallon's pull at his sleeve.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why should you be afraid? ” Black asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why should you go to Arizona? ” Black asked in Teturn.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why? ” “ Because he gave me the impression that you were more than friends. ” “ He has proposed to me a number of times.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Why? ” “ Because this brings the memory of Gaston back to me.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Will I be all right if I take things easily? ” “ You will be all right, but you may feel nauseated.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Will you charter a plane? ” Mr. Bowers asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Would n't you be if some one had just given you a good clip on the jaw? ”.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Would you get me some papers?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Would you want any other kind?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Yes, are n't they?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Yes, sir. ” “ When? ” “ At the beginning of the last rest period.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Yes. ” “ Did you like Lemaire? ” “ He was my friend.
nyp.33433075727473	“ Yes. ” “ Did you see Lemaire eat or drink anything? ” “ He is always drinking Coca Cola. ” “ Did he drink anything to- night?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Yes. ” “ Did you see Lemaire eat or drink anything? ” “ He is always drinking Coca Cola. ” “ Did he drink anything to- night?
nyp.33433075727473	“ Yes. ” “ Then ca n't you let me do it in my own way? ” He was annoyed.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You do n't think there was any quarrel between them? ” Dick made his first interruption.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You found no trace of him when you were out there? ” Dick asked, eager for information.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You have forgiven Aunt Priscilla, have n't you? ” Dick asked after they had been walking several min- uteS.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You have n't forgotten your promise? ” he said after they were seated.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You just said that Lecoq was talking to Fallon?
nyp.33433075727473	“ You know, ” and I68 CR IMS O N ICE his face lit up with his idea, “ I read a story the other day, and guess who was the murderer?
nyp.33433075727473	“ You saw this gentleman in Le- maire's private room last night? ” “ Yes, sir, ” Henri replied quickly.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You want my name cleared once and for all time, do n't you? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You ’ll be around if I need you? ” “ Do you mind if I stick along? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You ’ll be around if I need you? ” “ Do you mind if I stick along? ” Dick asked.
nyp.33433075727473	“ You ’ve no idea why Gaston acted toward you as he did last night? ” Mr. Bowers asked.
nyp.33433076054620	Twas last Friday night, was n’t it? ” “ Y- yes! ” Etta began to sob wildly. nyp.33433076054620 'Tis the quickest toothache cure that ever I see. ”| “ You ’re thinking maybe she faked it? ” Dennis chuckled. nyp.33433076054620 - “ And everything was in perfect order, then, in all the apartment? nyp.33433076054620 - “ Before the woman brought it to you or after, sir? ” “ Afterwards. nyp.33433076054620 - “ Did you relock the door on leaving? ” “ Yes, Monsieur; of that I can assure you. nyp.33433076054620 - “ Perhaps Captain Marchal has moved it? ” suggested McCarty. nyp.33433076054620 - “ The police? ” he asked thickly. nyp.33433076054620 - “ Where did this come from, Margot? ” she asked of me. nyp.33433076054620 - “ Who is Evelyn Jarvis? ” “ She is my niece Joan's intimate friend, ” Norwood re- sponded mechanically as he moistened his dry lips. nyp.33433076054620 / Why was she so anxious that Mr. Norwood should go to his friend Professor Parlowe at that particular time?

nyp.33433076054620 All the others have been discharged pending our departure. ” “ What do you know of them, Mr. Jarvis? nyp.33433076054620 An accident? nyp.33433076054620 And now, to add to my general distress of mind, Victor is down! ” “ Down? ” McCarty repeated. nyp.33433076054620 Are you on day or night duty now? ” “ Day, ” Dennis responded eagerly. nyp.33433076054620 Are you trying to show that the man was called “ Noel ’? ” “ Not trying to, Mr. Terhune; I am showing it. ” McCarty drew himself up. nyp.33433076054620 As they brought up the rear Dennis remarked to McCarty: “ You ’re thinking that girl Margot lied?

nyp.33433076054620 Did the police h'inspector find out who did it, h’if I may ask? ”| McCarty turned and eyed him blandly. nyp.33433076054620 Did they find out who did it? ” “ Not yet, ma'am. nyp.33433076054620 Did you ever by any chance, sir, take an impression of Mrs. Jarvis ’? ” “ Why, yes. ” Norwood glanced up in surprise. nyp.33433076054620 Did you get when that was, Denny? nyp.33433076054620 Did you surmise what had taken place in this house during your absence this afternoon? nyp.33433076054620 Do n't you remember it? nyp.33433076054620 Do you always wait up for Mrs. Jarvis? ” “ Not always. ” The girl hesitated once more. nyp.33433076054620 Do you hear him? nyp.33433076054620 Do you know that I am actually under surveillance? nyp.33433076054620 Do you mind the way I used to work backward, now and again when I was on the force? nyp.33433076054620 Do you understand? nyp.33433076054620 Eleven years ago next spring! ” “ And what then? ” asked Dennis vacantly. nyp.33433076054620 Except for her down in the front basement the house was empty. ”- “ And what time was it when you let your brother in? ” McCarty asked. nyp.33433076054620 God, can it be? ” Calvin Norwood gasped in a raucous whisper as his shuddering gaze swept the still form before him. nyp.33433076054620 Has he a record of Mrs. Jarvis', by any chance? ” “ It is possible, Monsieur; I do not know. ” The secre- tary shrugged. nyp.33433076054620 Have you an idea of any possible motive for the crime, Mr. Jarvis? ” “ None! nyp.33433076054620 He carries one key and I the other. ” “ You keep your museum locked, then? ” “ Of course. nyp.33433076054620 Hear any- thing? ” demanded her interrogator. nyp.33433076054620 Henry got in just ahead of me; did n't you, Henry? ” Iº. nyp.33433076054620 How about it, Mr. McCarty? ” “ Thanks, sir, but I ’ll not be going over there again. nyp.33433076054620 How can we tell him! ” “ You positively identify the body, then, Mr. Norwood? ” Terhune went on steadily. nyp.33433076054620 How did I? ” A slow grin widened McCarty's lips. nyp.33433076054620 How did he take it? ” “ Dazed, like, ” McCarty responded. nyp.33433076054620 How did you know? ” Norwood paused and then added impatiently: “ That has nothing to do with the disappearance of the wallet, however. nyp.33433076054620 I do n't suppose, now, you could let me have a peep at the records? nyp.33433076054620 I do n’t suppose, sir, that there ’ve been any new developments in that case? nyp.33433076054620 I got Madame into a negligee and went upon my errand. ” “ What errand? nyp.33433076054620 I got to him there. ” “ What did you tell him? ” quavered Norwood. nyp.33433076054620 I helped lift him and I ’ve had no time to change. ” “ Was it murder? ” “ Do n’t ask me, sir! nyp.33433076054620 I mean something the possession of which would be vital to them? nyp.33433076054620 I say, were you? ” “ A part of the time, ” McCarty responded. nyp.33433076054620 I suppose they have told you how we found the body? ” He turned to McCarty. nyp.33433076054620 I suppose you mean that she was murdered in the museum, after all? ” McCarty nodded solemnly. nyp.33433076054620 I want you to be happy about it, because I am! ” “ Then you do n’t know? nyp.33433076054620 I want you to come with me. ” 84 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES “ I am under arrest, Monsieur? ” She drew herself up proudly. nyp.33433076054620 I was delayed there until after seven o'clock. ” “ You did not dine at home? ” “ No, I went directly to the club. nyp.33433076054620 I wonder —? ” “ We will look into that presently. ” Inspector Druet waived the implied suggestion. nyp.33433076054620 I ’m sorry for the poor young man. ” “ And you'll keep whatever you may hear to yourself? ” Norwood continued in nervous haste. nyp.33433076054620 I ’ve seen them when they'd want to throw themselves out of bed entirely. ” 145 146 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES “ Did he talk much? nyp.33433076054620 I ’ve tried twice to see you. ” “ Have you, sir? ” McCarty shook hands and dropped a trifle wearily into the chair his host indicated. nyp.33433076054620 I, and every member of my household, even to my niece and her fiancé? nyp.33433076054620 IN THE CRIME MUSEUM 3 “ I mean, what is your procedure in starting an investi- gation? ” he hastened to explain. nyp.33433076054620 If I ’m not mistaken, he wo n't find that an easy thing to produce. ” “ You mean that he's taken her money? ” McCarty asked. nyp.33433076054620 If Messager knew anything he'd not tell it, and we ’ve got to have the straight dope on this. ” “ Where'll you get it? ” Dennis demanded. nyp.33433076054620 If he admitted now that he had quarreled with his wife — ” 188 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES “ Quarreled with her? ” McCarty ejaculated. nyp.33433076054620 If it's not asking too much, 124 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES º would you tell us later how you worked some of it? nyp.33433076054620 If you will lead the way through the rear yards —? ” He paused and Oliver Jarvis who had risen at his en- tance demanded hoarsely. nyp.33433076054620 Inspector, when — how long do you think my wife —? ” He could not continue, but Inspector Druet nodded comprehendingly. nyp.33433076054620 Is it only criminals he's kept a record of? ” The secretary shook his head with a trace of impatience. nyp.33433076054620 Is it tramping across country you've 97 98 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES been, on a day like this? nyp.33433076054620 It could have been seen through the glass door and the key was there in the lock. ” “ Who could have got in here? ” McCarty asked. nyp.33433076054620 It is monstrous, insufferable! ” “ Is that so, sir? ” McCarty observed innocently. nyp.33433076054620 It is quite simple, you see. ” “ But the skeleton, sir? ” Dennis ventured. nyp.33433076054620 It is shel Madame Jarvis! ” “ Evelyn? nyp.33433076054620 It means Christmas, all right, but what else would it stand for, to her? ” “ Ask me another! ” invited Dennis. nyp.33433076054620 It ’s a little bit of all right out here, is n't it? ” “ It ’s grand, ma'am. nyp.33433076054620 It ’s like a nightmare! ” “ It is certain, then, that Mrs. Jarvis did pay the money demanded from her? ” asked McCarty. nyp.33433076054620 Jarvis knew your friend Professor Parlowe, did n't she? ” McCarty remarked somewhat irrelevantly. nyp.33433076054620 Jarvis, was there anything aside from the jewels here that to your knowledge would have been of peculiar personal value to anyone? nyp.33433076054620 Jarvis? nyp.33433076054620 Last Friday night? ” The girl made no reply, but he could feel her tremble violently as she withdrew her arm from his. nyp.33433076054620 MARGOT 37 “ Ah, Madame, it is you? ” They heard a little cry in a clear feminine voice. nyp.33433076054620 Madame Jarvis had called to see Monsieur Norwood, but he was engaged. ” “ You entered into conversation with her? ” The young man hesitated. nyp.33433076054620 McCarty? ” He looked from one to the other of them, and the ex- Roundsman bowed. nyp.33433076054620 Mr. Rior- dan, how do you analyze a case? ” “ I do n't! ” protested Dennis Riordan hurriedly. nyp.33433076054620 No room showed the slightest sign of disturb- ance? ” “ None, Monsieur. nyp.33433076054620 Norwood himself was out all the afternoon? ” McCarty chose his words with evident care. nyp.33433076054620 Norwood, how was it customary for those using that door cut in the fence to gain entrance to your house? nyp.33433076054620 Norwood, who was present at that dinner? ” “ Let me see. nyp.33433076054620 Norwood? ” He turned to the bowed, elderly figure. nyp.33433076054620 Now will each of you please take up the bulb nearest you on the wire and hold it in the same manner, with the right hand only? nyp.33433076054620 Oh, why did she not come to us frankly, when this trouble started? nyp.33433076054620 Oliver Jarvis is the man! ” “ Is that so, sir? ” McCarty remarked, unmoved. nyp.33433076054620 Poor child! ” “ You say they are neighbors of yours? ” Terhune began and turned swiftly at a movement behind him. nyp.33433076054620 Poor persecuted, overwrought lad! ” “ What happened? nyp.33433076054620 Pretty bad, eh? ” He spoke perfunctorily, but his eyes gleamed with unconcealed anxiety behind their huge- rimmed glasses. nyp.33433076054620 Ready, Bassett? ” “ Yes, sir. ” The assistant, followed by Inspector Druet, appeared from behind the screen. nyp.33433076054620 Shall we get him to another room, Inspector, till he comes to and quiets down a bit? nyp.33433076054620 She had to let Dick go. ” “ Who is Dick? ” “ Etta's brother. nyp.33433076054620 She is dead. ” “ But how? nyp.33433076054620 She knew about the crime all along? nyp.33433076054620 She went there herself, unbeknownst to anyone, and ’ twas there she was killed. ” “ In that place? ” The woman shuddered again. nyp.33433076054620 Since there was to be no dinner at home, Madame had given both the cook and Henry a holiday. ” “ Have they returned yet? ” “ Yes, Monsieur. nyp.33433076054620 Sixteen or seventeen is no babe in arms; I wonder if that Hoyos was ever in New Orleans? nyp.33433076054620 Still stubborn, eh, McCarty? nyp.33433076054620 Surely not through the museum window? ” “ By no means. ” The host, still indignant, responded frigidly. nyp.33433076054620 That it had come true! ” “ What had come true? ” demanded Oliver Jarvis hoarsely. nyp.33433076054620 That odd, halting, hesitant yet curiously rhythmic triad; where had he heard it before? nyp.33433076054620 That she was n't killed there, but maybe over in the other house, after all? ”-** “ Corpses do n't dress themselves, ” retorted McCarty. nyp.33433076054620 That there was no robbery at all? ” Dennis'tone was awestruck. nyp.33433076054620 That toothache business was a bluff, was n’t it? ” “ Partly, but I was sick, anyway, with the thought of what I ’d agreed to. nyp.33433076054620 That's right, is n't it, sir? ” He appealed to the Inspector and the latter nodded speechlessly in confirmation. nyp.33433076054620 The clock upon the mantel here struck the hour as I was gathering together the notes to return them. ” “ The museum was empty then? nyp.33433076054620 The dinner they gave in their own home on Wednesday evening? ”- “ It may have been. nyp.33433076054620 The dressing- room was undisturbed. ” “ Do you realize, my girl, that in persisting in such a story you are drawing suspicion upon yourself? nyp.33433076054620 The fight, and all? ”- “ Go and see for yourselves while I get rid of these people. ” Terhune waved toward the alcove. nyp.33433076054620 The same as when you viewed the body just now in the museum? ”- A violent shudder swept again over the bowed figure. nyp.33433076054620 Then, right after lunch, the worst thing hap- pened of all. ” “ And what was that? ” McCarty asked eagerly. nyp.33433076054620 There are one or two little points sticking in my mind and I ’d like to look over the ground again. ” “ The museum? nyp.33433076054620 They both came in before eleven o'clock and went to their rooms. ” “ How is it that you did not go to bed? nyp.33433076054620 They both died that night — ” “ Papers? nyp.33433076054620 They sleep on the top floor, I suppose? ”- Jarvis nodded.
nyp.33433076054620	They'd tell the whole story, and show the lady's connection with the CaSC 22 “ How would they? ” the woman shrilled.
nyp.33433076054620	Victor — Captain Marchal — my secretary, was with me. ” “ He left the room with you? ” persisted the official.
nyp.33433076054620	Was he alone upon the right path which should lead through the maze of evasions and contradictions to the truth?
nyp.33433076054620	Was it much that was took, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	Was it only a strange and unlooked- for coin- cidence, or had he indeed stumbled upon a real clue?
nyp.33433076054620	Was it true that he made a confession before they turned on the juice? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054620	Was n't it himself that found the Christmas cake and those letters made of macaroni paste?
nyp.33433076054620	Was she just as gay at the end as she was when the dinner started? ” “ No; I ca n't say that she was, ” the other admitted.
nyp.33433076054620	We may depart? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054620	Were they all in the house? ”- “ No, Monsieur, only the housemaid and she was in her room nursing a toothache.
nyp.33433076054620	Were they found on the body?
nyp.33433076054620	Were you not with the others last night?
nyp.33433076054620	What are you getting at? ” The Inspector struck his desk smartly with his open hand.
nyp.33433076054620	What brings you walking our beat? ” “ I was passing by and stopped in at your rooms. ” In- spector Druet smiled.
nyp.33433076054620	What connection had there been between her and the unhappy woman who had been Hoyos'guest, or Hoyos himself?
nyp.33433076054620	What could have happened then? ” “ Was it another letter? ” demanded Jarvis.
nyp.33433076054620	What could have happened then? ” “ Was it another letter? ” demanded Jarvis.
nyp.33433076054620	What could she have been after? ” “ I ’m thinking it was a black wallet with a couple of letters inside, ” McCarty responded simply.
nyp.33433076054620	What did he say? ” His eager- ness betrayed itself, now in his tone and McCarty responded with deliberation.
nyp.33433076054620	What do you make of it? ”- McCarty walked to the end of the table and glanced down.
nyp.33433076054620	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076054620	What do you say to that? ” “ ’ Twas good, snappy work, sir, but it do n't prove any- thing. ” McCarty's chin was a trifle out- thrust.
nyp.33433076054620	What do you think about it yourself, Mr. Norwood? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076054620	What do you want it for? ” “ Oh, I just thought I'd like to see it, ” McCarty responded diffidently.
nyp.33433076054620	What has happened to her? ” Wade Terhune stepped forward.
nyp.33433076054620	What is it that's come up? ” With a gesture Jarvis indicated the table and McCarty advanced and looked into the larger of the two boxes.
nyp.33433076054620	What is this rubbish about a black wallet? ” “ ” Tis not rubbish about her being blackmailed, is it, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	What is this rubbish about a black wallet? ” “ ” Tis not rubbish about her being blackmailed, is it, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	What is your modus operandiP'“ My what, sir? ” inquired ex- Roundsman Timothy McCarty carefully.
nyp.33433076054620	What madman has done this? ” “ That is what we are here to find out, ” the Inspector responded gruffly.
nyp.33433076054620	What pos- sible object could anyone I know have in taking it?
nyp.33433076054620	What was Margot doing in the back- yard late at night when we surprised her? ” “ Getting the air, she said, ” observed Dennis.
nyp.33433076054620	What was the crime they were supposed to furnish a clue to? ” “ The Hoyos matter, sir.
nyp.33433076054620	What was the other one doing in the museum and how did he get in? ” “ You ’re not asking much, are you? ” McCarty demanded witheringly.
nyp.33433076054620	What was the other one doing in the museum and how did he get in? ” “ You ’re not asking much, are you? ” McCarty demanded witheringly.
nyp.33433076054620	When did he miss it? ” McCarty hesitated.
nyp.33433076054620	When did you last see Mrs. Jarvis alive? ” “ The day before yesterday, on Wednesday evening.
nyp.33433076054620	When she mentioned her headache, did she appear to be really ill, Margot? ” “ But no.
nyp.33433076054620	When you took leave of your wife to- day did her manner seem quite as usual?
nyp.33433076054620	Where is she? ” Calvin Norwood's voice rose in a broken cry.
nyp.33433076054620	Where were you during that hour? ” “ In my room, Monsieur, and in that of Etta, the house- maid, applying hot cloths to her face.
nyp.33433076054620	Where? ” The other ’s voice broke in sheer agony of half- incredulous grief.
nyp.33433076054620	Who is she? ” “ Murder? ” Victor Marchal elbowed him aside and grop- ing wildly for the table, bent above it.
nyp.33433076054620	Who is she? ” “ Murder? ” Victor Marchal elbowed him aside and grop- ing wildly for the table, bent above it.
nyp.33433076054620	Who was present beside Mrs. Jarvis and yourself? ” “ No one.
nyp.33433076054620	Who were they? ” McCarty persisted, his breath quickening a trifle in spite of his effort to appear calmly indifferent.
nyp.33433076054620	Who would be likely to have a key to that house? ” McCarty drew a deep breath.
nyp.33433076054620	Who would believe?
nyp.33433076054620	Who would murder Evelyn?
nyp.33433076054620	Who wrote them? ” “ I do n't know! ” Norwood wheeled about irascibly.
nyp.33433076054620	Why did n't he leave the poor thing there in her own dressing- room where he killed her, and beat it?
nyp.33433076054620	Why did n't he write it to her, or maybe spell it out in those macaroni letters? ” “'Twas the art of him, Denny!
nyp.33433076054620	Why did not the murderer tear it from her finger if he were after mere gain?
nyp.33433076054620	Why did she not let the truth be known and brave the consequences?
nyp.33433076054620	Why do n't you stay and see the preliminary examination through at least?
nyp.33433076054620	Why has n't there been a word about them in the papers before now? ” “ They've not been found.
nyp.33433076054620	Why have you come? ” “ To learn the truth, ma'am.
nyp.33433076054620	Why on earth were you carrying a load of bricks up to the museum? ” “ ’ Twas just a bit of an experiment, sir, ” McCarty ex- plained.
nyp.33433076054620	Why should anyone have taken her life, and how — how did she get here? ” Terhune did not reply immediately.
nyp.33433076054620	Would you care to see it? ” “ Red hair, you say, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	Would you care to see it? ” “ Red hair, you say, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	Would you consider them trustworthy? ” pursued the Inspector.
nyp.33433076054620	Would you like to step around to my rooms? ” The Inspector nodded and turned to Dennis.
nyp.33433076054620	Yet what was there in the gift of it that should have warned her of what was coming?
nyp.33433076054620	You ca n’t mean that one of them murdered Mrs. Jarvis? ” “ It is likely? ” McCarty snorted.
nyp.33433076054620	You ca n’t mean that one of them murdered Mrs. Jarvis? ” “ It is likely? ” McCarty snorted.
nyp.33433076054620	You do n't mean she walked out of it?
nyp.33433076054620	You had no threatening letters yourself, I suppose, nor offers to sell you any information? ” “ Certainly not!
nyp.33433076054620	You have n’t heard? ” Norwood stammered, ignoring in his troubled preoccupation the signifi- cance of her words.
nyp.33433076054620	You observed no depression nor apprehension? ” “ On the contrary, ” replied Jarvis in a surprised tone.
nyp.33433076054620	You remember Margot's story of her mistress'sudden collapse on Wed- nesday night after her dinner guests had gone?
nyp.33433076054620	You remember the affair, do n't you?
nyp.33433076054620	You were both there when — ” “ When the body of Mrs. Jarvis was discovered? ” Mc- Carty supplemented quietly as she hesitated.
nyp.33433076054620	You will call me if I can be of any assistance? ” As the secretary bowed and retired the butler appeared in the doorway.
nyp.33433076054620	You'll excuse me, sir, but was the silver touched?
nyp.33433076054620	You've seen the account of it, ma'am? ”- “ You mean the — the woman that was found strangled to death in some sort of museum? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054620	You've seen the account of it, ma'am? ”- “ You mean the — the woman that was found strangled to death in some sort of museum? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076054620	You've something there for me?
nyp.33433076054620	Your Chief Medical Examiner — he's taken the place of the Coroner, has n't he?
nyp.33433076054620	Your boots are an inch thick with mud! ” “ Are they so? ” inquired McCarty with dignity.
nyp.33433076054620	Your hand perspired with abnormal pro- fusion from the start, Riordan. ” “ And why would n't it, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	is it true that she is really dead? ” The blind 12 TWO STRANDS OF BILACK HAIR 13.
nyp.33433076054620	night?
nyp.33433076054620	who did you tell? ”.
nyp.33433076054620	‘ What is it, Uncle Cal? ’ she asked in a kind of a frightened whisper.
nyp.33433076054620	“ A d’Artagnan of the gendarmerie, is it not so?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Ah, McCarty, you here?
nyp.33433076054620	“ And just where was the body found? ” “ Here. ” The Inspector measured off a space upon the rug.
nyp.33433076054620	“ And so you've fresh evidence, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Are you busy tonight?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Are you wishful to take part in another little scientific experiment? ” Dennis quailed, then squared his shoulders doggedly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ At four o'clock, Monsieur. ” “ She complained of feeling ill. Did she lie down imme- diately? ” “ I do not know, Monsieur.
nyp.33433076054620	“ At what time, Margot, did Mrs. Jarvis return from shopping this afternoon? ” The girl moistened her dry lips.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Bassett imitated the footsteps; he is light on his feet and I rehearsed him carefully this after- noon. ” “ And the struggle, sir?
nyp.33433076054620	“ But how did he get in the museum? ” “ I ’m coming to that, ” responded McCarty.
nyp.33433076054620	“ But what am I saying?
nyp.33433076054620	“ By the way, when was the last time you saw Mrs. Jarvis alive? ” “ On Tuesday afternoon, late, sir, ” the other responded readily.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Could sleep come to me on this night, Monsieur? ” she retorted but quietly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did Mr. Norwood give you any other word for me? ” “ No, sir, ” the butler responded with awakened servility to his change of tone.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did any- one try to see her, any intruder? ” — “ I do not know, Monsieur.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did he get away?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did he know ’ twas me sat with him yesterday, I wonder? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did n't Victor show it to you? ” Norwood arose.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did n't her manner change at all during the evening, Mr. Norwood?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did n't you say Captain Marchal was with you in here that after- noon just before you left to call on your friend the professor?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did she bring it to you late in the afternoon?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did she find out anything? ” “ Nothing whatever.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did to- day ’s paper say that? ” “ It did, ” McCarty lied.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did you add it to your collection lately, Mr. Norwood? ” “ About two months ago.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Did you notice any signs of disturbance?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Do n’t you see what it is?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Do n’t you think, my dear girl, that you may be exag- gerating a trifle? ” he suggested.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Do n’t you want to come, also?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Do you mean that the poor lady was n’t killed at all when we thought?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Do you think he told the truth, Mac; about no one coming here this afternoon? ” “ And why not? ” McCarty demanded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Do you think he told the truth, Mac; about no one coming here this afternoon? ” “ And why not? ” McCarty demanded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Does lady forget date of next Saturday night? ” and “ Iooo under bush 26 each month small price safety. ” The twenty- sixth of each month!
nyp.33433076054620	“ Hair? ” repeated the amateur criminologist with an indul- gent smile.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Have they found out yet how much was gotten out of her? ” “ No, but the letters speak for themselves.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Have they not enough evidence on the earth to help them find a crook, without dragging in the heavens, too?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Have you considered it for a minute as maybe true, in spite of the fact that it would upset your theory?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Have you formed one yet? ” There was about him an air of conscious superiority which betokened a discovery and the other eyed him warily.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Have you got anything up your sleeve?
nyp.33433076054620	“ He flew high from the bakeshop, did n't he? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Henry, what time did you come in? ” “ A moment before cook, sir; I was closing the door when she came up behind me.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Here? ” The secretary raised his eyebrows.
nyp.33433076054620	“ How are you, Bassett? ” The latter extended his hand cordially.
nyp.33433076054620	“ How are you, Riordan?
nyp.33433076054620	“ How did your man make out in New Orleans? ” “ He drew a blank! ” The Inspector smote his desk in exasperation.
nyp.33433076054620	“ How do you go about it? ” McCarty stroked the immaculate chin beneath his stubby, sandy mustache reflectively.
nyp.33433076054620	“ How long had Jarvis been at the house when I got there? ” the inspector reverted to his subject once more.
nyp.33433076054620	“ How long have you had it here, sir? ”- “ Since the conclusion of the trial, eighteen months ago, ” Norwood responded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ How was he, McCarty, before you gave him the med- icine?
nyp.33433076054620	“ I can not think — ” “ Did you speak of the wallet to the Jarvises? ” McCarty interrupted suddenly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ I do n't mind telling you that I ’m stumped; the Jarvis case is one too many for me! ” “ Is it, now? ” McCarty asked solicitously.
nyp.33433076054620	“ I must have got it in the Norwood yard this noon when I was fooling around with the ladder. ” “ The ladder?
nyp.33433076054620	“ I say, have you any idea, McCarty, of what possible secret could be in the lady's life?
nyp.33433076054620	“ I wonder would you lend it to me, sir, for a few days? ” he suggested at length.
nyp.33433076054620	“ I ’m near dead with the pain in my tooth — ” “ Your aunt is the cook? ” interrupted the Inspector brusquely.
nyp.33433076054620	“ I ’ve begged him on my knees to cut loose from them, but what was the use?
nyp.33433076054620	“ I- I may take her home now?
nyp.33433076054620	“ If the black- mailing blackguard wanted to remind her of something by the one word, why did he go to all the trouble of fixing up the cake?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is it beginning to get through your thick head?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is it hypnotized you are?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is it that we are no longer required here, Monsieur?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is n't it because of what has come to light now, do n't you know, that you attach too much significance to it?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is that door usually left unfastened? ” asked Terhune suddenly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is the investigator himself proof against at least two forms of the subjective phenomena you mention: suggestion and self- deception?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Is your name McCarty? ” the latter mumbled stupidly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ It was some sort of collection of crime relics belonging to a rich, batty old man, was n’t it?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Mac, I'll want you with me; Riordan, can I press you into service? ” “ That you can, sir! ” Dennis stepped forward briskly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Mac, do you think they had a date over there at Norwood's?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Mac, where the devil was I?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Mac, you old rascal, where have you been? ” the Inspector greeted him with obvious relief and pleasure.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Mac, ” he said, “ is Oliver Jarvis one of those whom you think is holding out on me? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Madame had intended to return very early and when she did not come I — I became nervous, alarmed — ” 42 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES “ Why?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Madame — shel ” “ What are you doing here, Margot? ” demanded Jarvis.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Margot's story was a lie! ” “ Was it so, sir? ” McCarty's tone was quiet, but his blue eyes snapped.
nyp.33433076054620	“ My dear, what brought you home?
nyp.33433076054620	“ No one could have had a sane motive for taking her life! ”* How long have you been married? ”- “ Five years.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Oh, sir, whatever is the matter?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Seven? ” McCarty looked up.
nyp.33433076054620	“ She could not eat and begged of me to go away and let her alone; the pain had made her acariátre — how do you say?
nyp.33433076054620	“ She told me not to disturb her on my return, but to wait until she rang. ” “ When did you get back? ” “ At half- past five, Monsieur.
nyp.33433076054620	“ That Margot did n't say what I was wanted for, and how was I to know, at this time of night, that there was trouble?
nyp.33433076054620	“ That is the kitchen, is n't it? ” Inspector Druet asked.
nyp.33433076054620	“ That is what puzzles us both. ”- “ And'twas in Mrs. Jarvis'dressing- room you found it? ” McCarty pursued.
nyp.33433076054620	“ That stale Christmas cake or the macaroni- paste letters?
nyp.33433076054620	“ That's what Mrs. Jarvis said. ” “ What's that? ” Dennis asked, startled.
nyp.33433076054620	“ The one that had her face tied up, that was sick all yesterday? ” Norwood nodded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Then why do n’t he tell the police where he was? ” “ He- he ca n’t.
nyp.33433076054620	“ There were letters in this wallet?
nyp.33433076054620	“ There's a rose bush in your back- yard, Mr. Jarvis? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Was he alarmed? ” “ No, but surprised, like, as anybody might have been, ” the ex- Roundsman threw open the door.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Was n't it with her that Mrs. Jarvis was to have dined the night she was killed? ” Joan Norwood nodded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Was she so? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054620	“ We have stern work ahead of us, Oliver — ” “ Do you think I ’m forgetting? ” Jarvis sprang to his feet.
nyp.33433076054620	“ We were both so sorry not to have seen you on Saturday night; were n't we, Eric? ”.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Well, McCarty, what is your opinion? ” Terhune had approached and unconsciously echoed Dennis'inquiry.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Were you looking for me? ” The butler turned and bowed stiffly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What are they like? ” “ The Blakes are a bridal couple; he's off to the front in a fortnight. ” Norwood explained indulgently.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What can have hap- pened to it?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What could there have been? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What do I think of the Inspector? ” he repeated in response to a query just voiced by the other.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What do you make of it, sir? ” “ Nothing. ” The Inspector yawned.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What do you think of it, Mac, anyway? ” “ That there's more than one holding out on you, sir, ” replied McCarty frankly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What has happened, Uncle Cal?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What has it all to do with Norwood and his house? ” “ That's what we ’ve got to find out.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What is it that has killed her?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What is it, Monsieur Norwood? ” she asked in a faint, trembling voice.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What is it? ” Dennis whispered fearfully as he sat up and wiped the sooty moisture from his forehead.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What is it? ” he demanded hoarsely, but no one replied to him.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What is it? ” they heard a deep and pleasantly modu- lated masculine voice inquire.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What is the answer, Mr. Terhune? ” “ We are coming to that, ” Terhune replied.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What of my wife?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What shall I do? ” “ Tell us the truth, ma'am, and help us to find him, ” McCarty urged.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What time did you leave the house to- day? ” r “ Right after lunch was cleared away, sir; along about half- past two.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What was Mrs. Jarvis's maiden name? ” “ Evelyn Beaudet.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What was he saying? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What was in those letters, sir, that were in the wallet?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What was your wife's costume at lunch?
nyp.33433076054620	“ What were your wife's plans for the afternoon? ” “ She intended to shop and pay a farewell call or two;.
nyp.33433076054620	“ What's that?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Where have you been for the past week and more?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Where is my wife? ” he repeated hoarsely.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Where were the other servants during the afternoon?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Who are you? ” She spoke quietly but her voice shook.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Who discovered the body? ” “ My niece and her fiancé, ” the latter responded.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Who does he think did the murder? ” McCarty shook his head.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Who else was in the house this afternoon during your absence? ” “ Only the cook and housemaid, and they were below stairs.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Who is it? ” he asked in a high strained voice.
nyp.33433076054620	“ Who knew that you had the wallet, anyway, Mr. Norwood?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Why 174 THE TWENTY- SIX CLUES should Mrs. Jarvis have gone secretly to a place where she was always welcome?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Why did you not come at once when you were summoned?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Why have n't you told us the whole truth? ’ ” “ But I have, Monsieur, I swear — ” THE THREE WARNINGS 83 “ Do n’t lie, girl!
nyp.33433076054620	“ Why should Ilie about a thing which must certainly have been discovered?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Would n't he know that when the state of the dressing- room was seen'twould be supposed the murder was com- mitted there?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Would n't you and Riordan like to wait and learn the result of the experiment?
nyp.33433076054620	“ Would you feel like showing a few of them to me now, sir, and telling me their history?
nyp.33433076054620	“ You came straight back with Billings?
nyp.33433076054620	“ You had not retired, Margot? ” The Inspector glanced sharply at her attire.
nyp.33433076054620	“ You have heard?
nyp.33433076054620	“ You may recall the inexplicable death of the little Thorndike heiress, after a slight fall which merely grazed her knee?
nyp.33433076054620	“ You mean, sir, it was a record she talked into herself? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054620	“ You remember it, Mac'That Dago who was lost off his yacht in the Hudson?
nyp.33433076054620	“ You see those astronomical instruments and charts upon that stand?
nyp.33433076054620	“ You see? ” he murmured.
nyp.33433076054620	“ You will permit, Messieurs? ” he asked quietly.
nyp.33433076054620	“ You ’re off on a trip, the night? ” Dennis regarded him wistfully.
nyp.33433076054620	“ You ’ve found out what he's been doing with his wife's money, then? ” “ Better than that!
nyp.33433076054620	“ You ’ve got him, MacP"“ You mind Jim Shane, that was roundsman in my pre- cinct when I was on my first beat? ” McCarty ignored the question.
nyp.33433076054620	“ You ’ve located her then?
nyp.33433076054620	“ ‘ Please tell Uncle Cal I could n't wait, wo n't you? ” she says to the young French gentleman.
nyp.33433076054620	“ ’ Twas your brother who ransacked Mrs. Jarvis'dressing- room and you that let him in to do it, was n't it?
nyp.33433112053990	After all, what right had he now, what claim to control her actions?
nyp.33433112053990	And for yourself, you are well, eh?
nyp.33433112053990	And what will your mother say to that? ” “ Say?
nyp.33433112053990	And what will your mother say to that? ” “ Say?
nyp.33433112053990	And what ’s the other fellow doing?
nyp.33433112053990	Appa-?
nyp.33433112053990	Are you going to stay long in Santa Malua, Mr Carvel?
nyp.33433112053990	Are you teaching him to write? ” “ Trying to, say; it would be a real hard job, only that he ’s a man, and has observed things as he went along.
nyp.33433112053990	But I had a bit of luck in another direction. ” “ Had you?
nyp.33433112053990	But is it not strange that we should meet, and also our good friend here, who happened to be concerned in the inquiry?
nyp.33433112053990	But now a question. ” “ I will answer if I can. ” “ Well, how do you stand?
nyp.33433112053990	But that is for later, is it not?
nyp.33433112053990	But the matter goes further than that. ” “ M adre santz'sima — how?
nyp.33433112053990	But there will be a trial, wo n’t there?
nyp.33433112053990	But this, too, is the rurales — why will not they leave us alone?
nyp.33433112053990	But was it possible that, after this lapse of time, his inquiries would lead to anything?
nyp.33433112053990	But was there any need for that yet?
nyp.33433112053990	But what did it all matter?
nyp.33433112053990	But what would her mother say?
nyp.33433112053990	But what would you?
nyp.33433112053990	But where ’s the Governor ’s house?
nyp.33433112053990	But why had it not occurred to Aster that their only possible wit- 216 THE MESH ness was a silent one?
nyp.33433112053990	But why should he send for troopers in any case?
nyp.33433112053990	By the way, when will the trial come on? ” There was a pause.
nyp.33433112053990	By- the- way, what did you do yesterday?
nyp.33433112053990	Could she be pre- vailed upon to give her consent?
nyp.33433112053990	Could this be an attempt to hint at the identity of the bank thieves?
nyp.33433112053990	DANGER r 99 “ Senor, ” said the second man, who was a civilian, “ have you seen a man running?
nyp.33433112053990	Decidedly, they are serious competitors. ” “ Is it not a shame?
nyp.33433112053990	Did he really offer to make investigations without payment?
nyp.33433112053990	Did he, ever so little, nod in the direction of Cynthia?
nyp.33433112053990	Did she give her name?
nyp.33433112053990	Did she know that the Presi- dent was on the friendliest terms With a woman who could address him as “ My adored Luis ”?
nyp.33433112053990	Did the President say anything when you were searching the upper rooms at the bank?
nyp.33433112053990	Do n’t you see what I mean?
nyp.33433112053990	Do you agree with his Excellency? ” Barriga knew his cues.
nyp.33433112053990	Do you think I gave up with- out fighting; that I took to this at once?
nyp.33433112053990	Do you think he will disclose anything of importance?
nyp.33433112053990	Had he been wise to shelter the flying man?
nyp.33433112053990	Had he lost her Completely, for all time?
nyp.33433112053990	Had he told her the whole truth?
nyp.33433112053990	Had she not a little love left for him?
nyp.33433112053990	Had she still some love for him, or was her remaining an effort of pride piqued at her humiliations?
nyp.33433112053990	Had the fellow thrown off the mask?
nyp.33433112053990	Had they laid a trap for the dumb man, hoping to catch him in the darkness?
nyp.33433112053990	Had you any success? ” Aster smiled ambiguously.
nyp.33433112053990	Has he taken to drink?
nyp.33433112053990	Hastily, he said what I have told you. ” “ Did the message say anything about the troopers ’ destination?
nyp.33433112053990	Have a dring, old man, Hardacre?
nyp.33433112053990	Have another? ” “ No, I ’m talking straight.
nyp.33433112053990	Have you a pistol?
nyp.33433112053990	Have you any unused top rooms?
nyp.33433112053990	Have you been successful? ” “ Absolutely. ” Temporel put a hand in his pocket, and drew out the confession.
nyp.33433112053990	Have you won anything?
nyp.33433112053990	He promised me a post under the Government and ” “ Did you get it?
nyp.33433112053990	He was in charge that night. ” “ Well, what ’s your plan of campaign?
nyp.33433112053990	He was vaguely aware that another misfortune had over- taken him, that he had lost something — but THE PROOF 173 what?
nyp.33433112053990	He will drink some wine with me, eh?
nyp.33433112053990	He will have to stand his punishment in another way. ” “ Yes, we are going f0 dictate terms. ” “ Any preparations to make?
nyp.33433112053990	Her antecedents were, I presume, quite reputable people? ” “ Senor, I can not say that they were.
nyp.33433112053990	His volatile pantomiming had conveyed nothing to 74 THE MESH\ the Englishmen — what to do?
nyp.33433112053990	How can I tell?
nyp.33433112053990	How could the man tell him?
nyp.33433112053990	How was he going to rid himself of her?
nyp.33433112053990	How was he going to tell her?
nyp.33433112053990	How was it that the letter for General Mayoro was written ready, and went in an envelope?
nyp.33433112053990	I asked him would he be kind enough to tell me how many prisoners there were in the jail, and the nature of the offences with which they were charged?
nyp.33433112053990	I have honour visit s’Excellency the President — what say? ” “ ’ Bout time you saw somebody, ” said Jake, grinning.
nyp.33433112053990	I have met him. ” “ Used to?
nyp.33433112053990	I have no reason to believe otherwise. ” “ Reduced circumstances, perhaps?
nyp.33433112053990	I have something to say to you, and I want you to come into the garden to hear me say it. ” “ Not a recitation, I hope?
nyp.33433112053990	I say, where are you taking me?
nyp.33433112053990	I see that you have rented this house?
nyp.33433112053990	I suppose that man was spying on us, eh, IJosé?
nyp.33433112053990	I suppose they are always closely barred?
nyp.33433112053990	I suppose we could n’t dope the guards? ” Temporel shook his head.
nyp.33433112053990	I think he went into one of these houses. ” “ Here?
nyp.33433112053990	I want to help you, so ’s to help myself, see?
nyp.33433112053990	I will let you know how the affair proceeds?
nyp.33433112053990	I ’ll have it out of you, if I have to — won’t you speak?
nyp.33433112053990	I ’m awfully glad to see you. ” “ Are you?
nyp.33433112053990	I ’m going to drink myself dead, see?
nyp.33433112053990	I ’m on tenterhooks to hear — — did you find out the name of the man?
nyp.33433112053990	I ’ve got you — d’ye hear?
nyp.33433112053990	I ’ve hired a boat, and I ’m going fishing. ” THE ATTACK ON THE JAIL ’ 229 “ Oh, are you? ” said Temporel, laughing.
nyp.33433112053990	If I do that, if I again take up my position as the manager of the bank, will you allow me to go to Cynthia, and ask her to forget what has passed?
nyp.33433112053990	If he had gone back to England how would he have supported himself?
nyp.33433112053990	If it were so unimportant, why should he speak of it in his letter?
nyp.33433112053990	If this fellow had not been concerned in the bank robbery what did he mean by that pantomime with the money he took from his pockets?
nyp.33433112053990	If you show them a criminal, they can apprehend him — beyond that, nothing. ” “ What about the slight man who is dumb?
nyp.33433112053990	Is it not strange that I should think of that now — here?
nyp.33433112053990	Is she not afraid to wear those gems in this town? ” “ Perhaps, ” said the lady.
nyp.33433112053990	Is your mother out of sorts? ” “ No, she ’s all right, Uncle, and I ’m not going to lead you astray.
nyp.33433112053990	It was, of course, possible for me to return to England if I borrowed the pas- sage money, but what could I do there?
nyp.33433112053990	Man of your age — — to know better. ” “ Had you not better go up to your rooms, and have a rest?
nyp.33433112053990	No — was it from Cynthia?
nyp.33433112053990	Of course, you know I ’m leaving next week?
nyp.33433112053990	Perhaps the President could help us; or do you object to my asking him about it? ” “ I would rather you did, ” said Cynthia.
nyp.33433112053990	Perhaps you will allow me to smoke? ” Temporel silently pushed him a cigar- box, and sat down in the chair facing him.
nyp.33433112053990	Please say no more about it. ” “ Wo n’t you sit? ” said Carvel, indicating a chair.
nyp.33433112053990	Sabe?
nyp.33433112053990	See?
nyp.33433112053990	See?
nyp.33433112053990	See?
nyp.33433112053990	See?
nyp.33433112053990	See?
nyp.33433112053990	Shall I tell you the kindnesses Don Luis showed you?
nyp.33433112053990	So I am going to come with you, and you mus ’ see that s’Excellency doesn ’ do the same — see?
nyp.33433112053990	Surely it would be better to look into the office of the bank itself, to be certain that all was well?
nyp.33433112053990	Ta ’ my place, would you, and leave me on the street, would you?
nyp.33433112053990	The General said to me, ‘ Tell his Excellency I will send ten troopers. ’ ” “ That was all?
nyp.33433112053990	The heat is great here. ” 118 THE MESH “ Heat?
nyp.33433112053990	The heavy blind fell with a crash again, bruising his arm some — 72 THE MESH “ So you have come again, have you?
nyp.33433112053990	The moment they go towards your belt, things 76 THE MESH are going to happen — understand?
nyp.33433112053990	Then, supposing we have a clear field, what is the plan of campaign?
nyp.33433112053990	There was an outfit to be procured, a berth to be booked — and who knew but the ship might be full?
nyp.33433112053990	They may have sacked the place already, eh? ” “ No, no, ” said Don Luis, laying a reassuring hand on the shoulder of the young man.
nyp.33433112053990	Those who find you will read the letter; they will say: ‘ He tried to discard the jealous woman, and she shot him ’ — you understand?
nyp.33433112053990	To enter, the men must have passed your door; did you hear any sus- picious sounds?
nyp.33433112053990	Two managers with but a single bang — thought, two hearts that beat as ” He gulped, and went on, “ What you doing here, sir?
nyp.33433112053990	Two safes have been opened. ” “ No more than two? ” asked Temporel, in a THE UNHAPPY DUPE 27 broken, husky voice, dragging himself forward.
nyp.33433112053990	Was Temporel a man of the same kidney?
nyp.33433112053990	Was it fair to her, fair to himself, that he should abandon hope?
nyp.33433112053990	Was it not possible that she loved him yet — that he might go to her again, free of his folly, righted in the eyes of the world?
nyp.33433112053990	Was it possible?
nyp.33433112053990	Was it really true that he had had the man in his hands and had allowed him to slip through them?
nyp.33433112053990	Was it to be wondered at that Cynthia had seen in him not the man who had been given her love, but a foolish sot, weak and decadent?
nyp.33433112053990	Was love such a trifle that it could be forgotten, wiped out, disregarded?
nyp.33433112053990	Was the man honest?
nyp.33433112053990	We ’ll have one to- gether, eh?
nyp.33433112053990	Well, accord- ing to your off- theory, you get a club and bang yourself hard over the head — sabe?
nyp.33433112053990	Well, if that is true, you have ruined me — do you hear?
nyp.33433112053990	What business had the man there?
nyp.33433112053990	What could be the motive?
nyp.33433112053990	What did anything matter?
nyp.33433112053990	What did anything matter?
nyp.33433112053990	What did he mean?
nyp.33433112053990	What did it matter if he had been drunk?
nyp.33433112053990	What did it matter?
nyp.33433112053990	What do you do?
nyp.33433112053990	What dormant, bestial instincts had awakened in him?
nyp.33433112053990	What d’ye think that galoot did?
nyp.33433112053990	What d’ye want here anyway? ” Hardacre strove to conceal his disgust.
nyp.33433112053990	What else was there to do?
nyp.33433112053990	What had been the inten- tion of the sender?
nyp.33433112053990	What had he to do with criminal museums, and troopers?

nyp.33433112053990	What is your name and address? ” “ Juanna Serrano, sefior.
nyp.33433112053990	What news?
nyp.33433112053990	What the deuce did the fellow mean by his pos~ turing and gesticulating?
nyp.33433112053990	What the deuce did the man mean?
nyp.33433112053990	What then?
nyp.33433112053990	What then? ” “ They have asked me to hand in my resigna- tion, ” said Temporel ruefully.
nyp.33433112053990	What was he like this fellow?
nyp.33433112053990	What was it?
nyp.33433112053990	What were their names — will you write them down for me?
nyp.33433112053990	What would the woman say to him?
nyp.33433112053990	What ’s up?
nyp.33433112053990	When do you want to go and why? ” “ Because I want to see him — and I want to go at once please. ” “ Oh!
nyp.33433112053990	When will you come here again? ” Aster rose and picked up his hat.
nyp.33433112053990	When your suc- cessor arrives, will you take some other post, or return to England? ” To England?

nyp.33433112053990	Where was your father on the night of the bank robbery, sefiorita — at home? ” She answered quite straightly.
nyp.33433112053990	Who had sent this to him?
nyp.33433112053990	Who was Hardacre?
nyp.33433112053990	Who was that message for? ” “ For the General Mayoro. ” “ Right, and what did he say?

nyp.33433112053990	Why did n’t he speak?
nyp.33433112053990	Why did n’t the troopers come to the bank?
nyp.33433112053990	Why do you want to know? ” “ Well, because when Serrano did his child ’s picture of a rurale, he drew a kind of uniform.
nyp.33433112053990	Why does he want to write letters like that?
nyp.33433112053990	Why had he been so easily depressed?
nyp.33433112053990	Why had he not thought of this before, instead of following a course which had lost him Cynthia, and plunged him into the depths of misery?
nyp.33433112053990	Why not go to him now and remind him of his promise?
nyp.33433112053990	Will you come up to my room, where we can talk quietly? ” “ Certainly, senor. ” Temporel preceded him upstairs, his heart beating fast.
nyp.33433112053990	Will you dine with me some night this week, say Friday?
nyp.33433112053990	Would it not be advisable to mention the fact now?
nyp.33433112053990	Would it not be well to call there, and see him before Cyn- thia should return?
nyp.33433112053990	You are in trouble and that is why ” “ In trouble?
nyp.33433112053990	You are sure of it? ” “ Perfectly.
nyp.33433112053990	You ask what it means?
nyp.33433112053990	You can proceed with the other part of the investigation. ” “ But, sefior ” “ You heard what I said?
nyp.33433112053990	You could come to us — eh?
nyp.33433112053990	You did not enter with the President?
nyp.33433112053990	You do n’t deserve it, you callous scoundrel, but for the sake of — of some- one — quick, where did you hide the money?
nyp.33433112053990	You have heard nothing more of the ladrones — no?
nyp.33433112053990	You knock one door, and I knock other all way? ” His companion assented.
nyp.33433112053990	You know the address? ” “ Certainly, sefior; I will go at once. ” John Carvel went to the door of the salon, opened it, and entered.
nyp.33433112053990	You know what a Pinkerton agent is?
nyp.33433112053990	You may have been followed and watched. ” “ What then? ” asked Aster, shrugging.
nyp.33433112053990	You may refuse — what then?
nyp.33433112053990	You mean to say that the fellow had it all ready in an envelope?
nyp.33433112053990	You observed how his Excellency appeared with her on the balcony just now?
nyp.33433112053990	You see what I ’m driving at — eh?
nyp.33433112053990	You seriously mean that he drinks? ” His Excellency could be very dignified when he chose.
nyp.33433112053990	You shall see your Charles while I hobnob with his Excellency, and spy out the land generally. ” “ And we can really start to — morrow?
nyp.33433112053990	You will take wine with me?
nyp.33433112053990	You will tell me that it is all false?

nyp.33433112053990	did the message request the General to come back with you?

nyp.33433112053990	go at once?
nyp.33433112053990	has he left the bank?

nyp.33433112053990	to a bank with perhaps millions?
nyp.33433112053990	you do n’t think the Inten- dente had anything to do with it?
nyp.33433112053990	you ’re going to give it up on your own account, are you?
nyp.33433112053990	‘ “ What ’s the plan for to- day?
nyp.33433112053990	“ A letter?
nyp.33433112053990	“ All right, but what — what are you going to manage? ” “ This bank, Mr Temporel. ” THE SUCCESSOR 117 The other laughed.
nyp.33433112053990	“ And now, Sefior Barriga, what brings you out here to- day?
nyp.33433112053990	“ And that, my good friend? ” “ My successor will soon be here.
nyp.33433112053990	“ And what is the name of the man she has honoured? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112053990	“ And you really think? ” “ Think — it ’s a dead cinch that our friend the dumb man is there.
nyp.33433112053990	“ And your policy under similar circumstances?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Are you dumb?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Are you dumb?
nyp.33433112053990	“ As you say, ‘ a gay dog, ’ is it not?
nyp.33433112053990	“ At eight, I presume — yes? ”.
nyp.33433112053990	“ But why was it addressed to me?
nyp.33433112053990	“ By- the- way, did you get hold of any of the men on the list I got for you?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Can you not do something, sefior? ” she asked helplessly.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Charles — Mr Temporel — I am Cynthia—- do you not remember? ” Some faint perception of the truth crept into his poor, fuddled brain.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Coquibe?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Could I assist you with funds — privately, of course?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Dear Charles, ” she said softly, “ do you forgive me? ” He did not answer her question.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Do n’t I know?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Eh, did you? ” he cried.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Eh? ” The man nodded once.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Even granting that, what can be done? ” “ Well, sir, if you ’ve got to get something out of a lock- up, you must just break in.

nyp.33433112053990	“ I have something here for you, ” she went on; “ you will take it — no?
nyp.33433112053990	“ I hope you wo n’t think me unduly curious if I ask you what you were doing there? ” he added.

nyp.33433112053990	“ Mean?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Mr Temporel is in, I suppose? ” he said in a clear and rather musical voice.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Much?
nyp.33433112053990	“ No doubt you have heard from the directors to that effect? ” Temporel sat down and poured himself out a glass of spirits.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Now I think of it — I — er — seem to have — I b’lieve I met someone — some time — Cynthia?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Old Temporel knows his way about — What?
nyp.33433112053990	“ One of the Governor ’s billets- doux, eh?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Outfit? ” said John Carvel, smiling at his Sister- in- law, “ why do n’t you call it a trousseau and have done with it?

nyp.33433112053990	“ Ready? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Say, you do n’t know Carmencita Pensol, and you ’ve been living here for quite a long spell?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Senor, you have seen a man running? ” asked the first.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Sefior, is it true?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Sefior, you wish to speak to me?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Sefior, ’ ave you seen ’ eem?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Sefior, ” he whispered, “ what have I done? ” “ What is your name, ” asked Temporel, as softly; he knocked once on the table.
nyp.33433112053990	“ That you, Bazan?
nyp.33433112053990	“ That you, Mr Temporel?
nyp.33433112053990	“ The English Bank?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Then I shall have more money and more frocks? ” “ Though the heavens fall, ” he said gently.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Then, perhaps, you will do me the honour to have of the visky?
nyp.33433112053990	“ They may have left Santa Malua — but your plan, what is that?
nyp.33433112053990	“ To- night, then? ” “ Sure, ” said Aster.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Very well, I will give you fifteen minutes more — if you will consent to one condition?
nyp.33433112053990	“ We must work in the dark I suppose? ” “ That ’s so.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Well, sefior el administrador, how goes the inquiry?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Well, what is it now?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Well, you got him safely away?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Well, young man, I suppose you want to see Cynthia?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Were you one of them?
nyp.33433112053990	“ What about Serrano? ” asked Temporel curiously.
nyp.33433112053990	“ What bait are you going to use? ” “ Modern scientific methods, ” said Aster, grin- ning.
nyp.33433112053990	“ What do you think he wanted, anyway?
nyp.33433112053990	“ What is it? ” said the latter irritably, as the panting man came up to him.
nyp.33433112053990	“ What shall I do to- morrow?
nyp.33433112053990	“ What shall we do? ” he cried, trembling visibly with agitation.

nyp.33433112053990	“ What ’s the matter with the man?
nyp.33433112053990	“ What?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Where are you going, senor?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Who is that?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Who recom- mended Barriga to you? ” he asked then.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Why are you calling me ‘ Charles ’? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112053990	“ Why do n’t you speak?
nyp.33433112053990	“ Why not?

nyp.33433112053990	“ Yes, yes?
nyp.33433112053990	“ You are afraid of them — afraid of the rurales?
nyp.33433112053990	“ You are better? ” said a soft voice in Spanish.
nyp.33433112053990	“ You have been in the bank before? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112053990	“ You know where she lives? ” asked the other.
nyp.33433112053990	“ You require me, sefior?
nyp.33433112053990	“ You see? —-—well, he will stand his trial. ” She shook her head in indignant denial.
nyp.33433112053990	“ You think they may come here?
nyp.33433112053990	“ You think we shall be able to lay our hands on those men? ” Temporel asked rather an- xiously, when they had talked the matter over.
nyp.33433112053990	“ You were with the cordon, eh, my friend? ” “ No, sefior; afterwards I searched for the ladrones. ” Barriga reflected.
nyp.33433112053990	“ You will reassure me, dear friend, will you not?
nyp.33433112053990	“ You would hardly guess her errand here?

nyp.33433076060015	* “ Ah, Mr. Warren? ” With no apparent movement on his part Martel somehow seemed to project himself into Steppy's path.
nyp.33433076060015	- “ Does this Mr. Martel give the sheriff orders here? ” The youth shot a swift look at his questioner.

nyp.33433076060015	Bo, do I hear you talking honest- to- goodness United States, or am I asleep? ” Stephen looked at the speaker and was forced to smile.
nyp.33433076060015	But I'll stake you to training expenses so you can get him in shape. ” “ But — what's the game? ” stammered Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	But can you blame me, bo, when I get a chance to talk to some one who uses the same language?
nyp.33433076060015	But heaven knows when I'll be able to exercise the blamed thing. ” “ Why wo n't he sell outright?

nyp.33433076060015	Can you see the Martels taking anything away from the doctor that he knew they wanted very badly?
nyp.33433076060015	Carkey has quit. ” “ What? ” “ Left last night.

nyp.33433076060015	Delicious, is n't it?
nyp.33433076060015	Did he make any stipula- tion to you?
nyp.33433076060015	Did n't I give you the dope on it before the start?

nyp.33433076060015	Does he look like him? ” “ Could n't see the Snake's face, ” was the reply after another stare.
nyp.33433076060015	Does that mean anything to you? ” “ Not a thing, ” replied Stephen, rubbing the horse's nose.
nyp.33433076060015	Does that surprise you so? ” “ It does.

nyp.33433076060015	For a while there was no sound in the boat louder~ 247 TWISTED TRAILS 249 was the use?

nyp.33433076060015	Have n't I spoken of him?

nyp.33433076060015	How'bout you?
nyp.33433076060015	How's Nailer? ” Stephen's reply was to grasp the boy by the hand and drag him toward the bayou on the run.
nyp.33433076060015	How's he come here? ” º There was a period of silence; then Carkey spoke.
nyp.33433076060015	How's the shoulder, Big Fellow?
nyp.33433076060015	I can take you to a place on Carondelet xx “ Is there an empty bed in it? ” interrupted Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	I do n't like it. ” “ Pinched?.
nyp.33433076060015	I guess he had good reasons for making himself scarce, mebbe. ” “ Do you know any such reasons, McGill? ” asked Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	I heard some one come through the fence and came out. ” “ You have been watching? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076060015	I suppose Salvator would have looked pretty good to you, eh?
nyp.33433076060015	I will sell the timber in the Black Woods, and we will be out of debt. ” “ We? ” repeated Estella.
nyp.33433076060015	I wonder if I am right?
nyp.33433076060015	I'm here; why do n't you tell me about the rules now? ” “ Rules! ” he snarled.

nyp.33433076060015	Is that what you said, LaFonte? ” he thundered with a pyrotechnical display of Gallic gestures.
nyp.33433076060015	Is there in it any true comprehension of life?
nyp.33433076060015	Is there need of papers between us?

nyp.33433076060015	It burns?
nyp.33433076060015	It is a common ex- perience to you, then? ” “ No, I would n't say common, ” replied Warren.
nyp.33433076060015	It must be fun to see them do it, is n't it?
nyp.33433076060015	It's just practice, gun work is. ” “ Have you been practicing, Octave? ” asked Stephen with a laugh.

nyp.33433076060015	It's true, is n't it, Mr. Warren? ” TWISTED TRAILS 123 “ It is. ” “ I told you so.
nyp.33433076060015	LeJeune, what did you have for breakfast? ” “ Did n't have much, ” grumbled the hungry Cajun.
nyp.33433076060015	Man, what yoh angry'bout?
nyp.33433076060015	Man?
nyp.33433076060015	Martel was not ill when Gambier and I saw him in his room. ” “ He was n't? ” “ No, sir.

nyp.33433076060015	Me? ” “ Stop that! ” snapped the sheriff.
nyp.33433076060015	My young friend, I wonder if you know anything worth knowing?
nyp.33433076060015	No sense wasting so much. ” “ Wasting it? ” stammered LeJeune.
nyp.33433076060015	No?
nyp.33433076060015	No?
nyp.33433076060015	No?
nyp.33433076060015	Now as the scene lived again for him he was startled 196 TWISTED TRAILS “ Sure thing; think I'm blind?
nyp.33433076060015	Now do you feel better? ” “ No, not much, ” said Steppy, groaning promptly.
nyp.33433076060015	Number Seven! ” “ Who is it? ” “ Nailer! ” Stephen leaped to his feet.
nyp.33433076060015	Of course, I expect to reimburse you for the time you have lost. ” “ Where shall I send the bill? ” he flashed out.
nyp.33433076060015	Of course, I heard things, but I did n't know then what they meant. ” “ You heard things — about me, you mean? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076060015	Pray with me, will you, Warren?
nyp.33433076060015	Really, I hoped it would be longer before any one saw me and came to my rescue. ”- “ Perhaps I ’d better turn back then? ” he said at last.
nyp.33433076060015	Say, did you make the bird who called him to time?
nyp.33433076060015	Say, what would he be doing here this P.M.P Do n't you know it's opening day over at Jefferson Park to- morrow?
nyp.33433076060015	Shall I drift and be happy?
nyp.33433076060015	Shall I give you my opinion, Pete?
nyp.33433076060015	Shall I tell you the great difference between the civilized 96 TWISTED TRAILS white man and the alleged savage?
nyp.33433076060015	She wanted to know if I was thinking of bringing that sort of a man — meaning you — to Lily City? ” “ What did you reply? ” asked Stephen.

nyp.33433076060015	So I ask you — about the existence of the Snake, so called. ” “ Do you mean you doubt it? ” “ Doubt what, my son?

nyp.33433076060015	Some day they got to run for you. ” “ How much money do you need to get him in shape to do himself justice? ” asked Warren abruptly.
nyp.33433076060015	Some time later, when she was not present, Warren heard two women discussing her: “ How was she dressed, do you remember? ” “ No!

nyp.33433076060015	Tell me, Martel, what's wrong with Black Woods? ” Martel was cold sober now.
nyp.33433076060015	Terry, what are you laughing at? ” “ Bent the nail — bent the nail! ” chortled Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	That is all I came for. ” “ Have you been to Camp Haut Isle, Warren? ” called Georges from the doorway.
nyp.33433076060015	That — that was n't him? ” “ Georges Martel was the Snake, ” said Carkey pain- fully.
nyp.33433076060015	The devil perhaps. ” “ Yes? ” said Warren.
nyp.33433076060015	The fee is three dollars. ” “ Ai n’t he a card, bo, ai n't he? ” demanded young McGurk, as they walked back toward the office.
nyp.33433076060015	The story of the shooting?
nyp.33433076060015	Then burning tobacco perfumed the night air, and said the night watchman: “ How does work feel for a change, eh?
nyp.33433076060015	Then it was you the sheriff had, Mr. Warren? ” interrupted Georges.
nyp.33433076060015	Then perhaps you were trying to hang yourself upon a nail?
nyp.33433076060015	Then why do n't you sell Black Woods and get out of debt before you come and ask me to marry you?
nyp.33433076060015	They came back all of a sudden, did n't they? ” LeJeune was too busily engaged with serious matters to reply.
nyp.33433076060015	They said you were hurt? ” she cried.
nyp.33433076060015	They tell'em all where to head in round here, the Martels do. ” “ You do n't belong down here yourself? ” asked Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	They're pinching me for being the Snake! ” “ So? ” said the doctor, coming leisurely out into the road.
nyp.33433076060015	Think any dick living has got brains enough to run a saw- mill like Hartland's?
nyp.33433076060015	Think how happy they'd make some romantically inclined lady — say a plump widow of forty. ” “ You are not romantically inclined, then?
nyp.33433076060015	Think?
nyp.33433076060015	Trying to steal a march on me, eh?

nyp.33433076060015	Want to turn back? ” “ No, m'sieu. ” “ All right.

nyp.33433076060015	Was Nailer going to have the flu again?
nyp.33433076060015	We'll hide till to- morrow night. ” “ Where'll we hide? ” “ Where we're heading for now, ” replied Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	Were n't you flat on your back up at doc's? ” “ You should have escaped, nevertheless, ” said Ste- phen.
nyp.33433076060015	Were you listening? ” TWISTED TRAILS 117 “ I plead guilty.
nyp.33433076060015	Were you trying to drive a nail into your thick head, LaFonte?
nyp.33433076060015	Whassa matter, waking people up this time o'night? ” “ Want to see Bomb. ” “ Bomb? ” The engineer stared stupidly.

nyp.33433076060015	What a pretty little devil's brew it is, to be sure! ” “ The Snake?
nyp.33433076060015	What am I going to do with me horse? ” The sheriff smiled, his eyes appraising the animal en- viously.
nyp.33433076060015	What are you kicking about?
nyp.33433076060015	What can I do for you? ” “ Like to talk about a little business deal if you got, time. ” “ Always got time to talk business.
nyp.33433076060015	What d'you spose?
nyp.33433076060015	What d'you want? ” “ Did n't mean to roust you up, McGill.
nyp.33433076060015	What do you know about it, Nailer; what do you know about it?
nyp.33433076060015	What do you mean? ” “ Is there? ” insisted Doctor Thibodeaux.
nyp.33433076060015	What do you mean? ” “ Is there? ” insisted Doctor Thibodeaux.
nyp.33433076060015	What do youse want of me, eh?
nyp.33433076060015	What does he say? ” “ He says it's a hard scent to follow and he's got to go back and pick it up all over again. ” “ Fine!
nyp.33433076060015	What else matters? ” “ A whole lot of course, ” he replied.
nyp.33433076060015	What excuse do I have for cumbering the earth?
nyp.33433076060015	What for? ” “ I donno.
nyp.33433076060015	What had gone wrong?
nyp.33433076060015	What have you got to say to that? ” “ That we do n't know just what happened in the office, but we are going to find out.
nyp.33433076060015	What have you in that head of yours?
nyp.33433076060015	What in the world has he to do with this, doctor? ” Doctor Thibodeaux turned to Stephen as if he had just become conscious of his presence.
nyp.33433076060015	What is it? ” LeJeune rubbed his lank jaws gratefully.
nyp.33433076060015	What is the mystery? ” “ Forget it — absolutely, ” repeated Martel, turning away.
nyp.33433076060015	What is there for me to get scared at, eh? ” Nailer submitted to the rude caress for some seconds.
nyp.33433076060015	What is this? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	What more is to be said?
nyp.33433076060015	What of possible consequences? ” Steppy refused to respond with the obvious question.
nyp.33433076060015	What shall I do?
nyp.33433076060015	What was the use of letting it bother a fellow?
nyp.33433076060015	What would he do now?
nyp.33433076060015	What you look- ing at me that way for? ” “ You ’re sure you'd know him again? ” said Martel.
nyp.33433076060015	What you look- ing at me that way for? ” “ You ’re sure you'd know him again? ” said Martel.
nyp.33433076060015	What's the game? ” The sheriff laughed shortly, the deputy following suit.
nyp.33433076060015	What's the hitch? ” “ It's that darned stipulation on the option.
nyp.33433076060015	When are you going to start? ” “ Not until daylight, ” laughed Georges.
nyp.33433076060015	When can you take hold over there? ” “ When is the next train? ” “ That's the way to talk, Warren!

nyp.33433076060015	Where are they? ” “ I ’ll deliver them at the mill, ” replied LeJeune.
nyp.33433076060015	Where on earth find a place for him?
nyp.33433076060015	Where should such a man go?
nyp.33433076060015	Where we going, Big Fellow; what's the game? ” “ First of all, to get away and hide, ” replied Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	Where yoh wicked blade den, boy?
nyp.33433076060015	Which was the real girl: Miss Reid, or this pattering Cajun?
nyp.33433076060015	Who is he, Carkey?
nyp.33433076060015	Who owns it? ” “ Who owns it? ” repeated Ambrose in the shocked whis- per of one who had heard sacrilege uttered.
nyp.33433076060015	Who owns it? ” “ Who owns it? ” repeated Ambrose in the shocked whis- per of one who had heard sacrilege uttered.
nyp.33433076060015	Who slept in the stall with you, and worked as stable boy to get jack enough to feed you?
nyp.33433076060015	Who the devil's making all the racket?
nyp.33433076060015	Who, me?
nyp.33433076060015	Why do n't they just drift round in the sun and live? ” “ Me — I do, ” said LaFonte, as he steered the little craft into the swamp.
nyp.33433076060015	Why do n't you trust me as you used to do? ” “ I was only a child, then, Georges.
nyp.33433076060015	Why is it?
nyp.33433076060015	Why is n't it being logged, Ambrose?
nyp.33433076060015	Why should I be? ” “ What's the second verse of that song? ” he asked, as he came alongside.

nyp.33433076060015	Why should he make any explanation?
nyp.33433076060015	Why, say, the Big Fellow was shot by the same gun that bumped off Octo, was n't he?
nyp.33433076060015	Wild?

nyp.33433076060015	With his eyes running from Octave to Stephen, he asked: “ They fought? ” “ The Snake did it! ” gasped Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	Would he falter, would he fade?
nyp.33433076060015	Would you humiliate me by forcing me to apologize for my rudeness?
nyp.33433076060015	Yankee, what did old Martel look like when he gave back your money and said no? ” “ He looked as if he had seen a ghost, ” said Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	You ai n't jumping at it, are you, Nailer?
nyp.33433076060015	You are acquainted with Mr. Warren, Estella? ” said Georges Martel.
nyp.33433076060015	You are all right?
nyp.33433076060015	You are clear now; you tell a definite story; but the Snake?
nyp.33433076060015	You big stiff, do n't you know you might have hurt somebody?
nyp.33433076060015	You can not bring him in?
nyp.33433076060015	You do n't want to sing now, do you?
nyp.33433076060015	You do n't want to sing, eh?
nyp.33433076060015	You have n't seen me. ” “ Do you think I am a child, that I must see with the eyes? ” demanded the doctor impatiently.
nyp.33433076060015	You hear me?
nyp.33433076060015	You hear me?
nyp.33433076060015	You mean this outlaw?
nyp.33433076060015	You ought to jump at it. ” “ Is that what Yankee hustlers do? ” asked Estella sol- emnly.
nyp.33433076060015	You sacrilegious young devil, have you no respect for superior beings?
nyp.33433076060015	You tell me horses do n't understand what you say to'em?
nyp.33433076060015	You think we've been break- ing the game laws? ” “ You just leave that gun where it is. ” TWISTED THAILS 23 “ I was going to.
nyp.33433076060015	You under- stand, Warren?
nyp.33433076060015	You will? ” cried Carkey.
nyp.33433076060015	You? ” She leaned back against his arm, and he leaned toward her.
nyp.33433076060015	“ A cut in the ear, what is that?
nyp.33433076060015	“ A nail?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Ai n’t you told me that thoity times?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Ambrose, why do men bother about fight- ing each other to make money?
nyp.33433076060015	“ An option, you say, Mr. Warren? ” “ Yes, ” said Stephen, “ but if you do n't want to sell there's no use talking further.
nyp.33433076060015	“ And in the morning? ” “ That way, ” Warren pointed to the brown waters of the bayou which ran eastward.
nyp.33433076060015	“ And then Pete came to you and sent you fishing round me? ” Another nod.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Are you drunk or crazy, Carkey?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Are you in debt too?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Aw, say, Bomb — ” “ Do you mean — anything? ” “ Of course not.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Because our place, too, is in debt? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Belong down here?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Bring them in. ” “ Will you buy them? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Bullet? ” said he, his eyes questing Warren.
nyp.33433076060015	“ But why were you interested in him? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076060015	“ But — you — did not get it? ” he asked slowly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ But, my dear sheriff, how else should I put it?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Ca n't fool you, eh? ” said Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Can you beat'em? ” demanded the latter as he watched the bookkeeper walk proudly away.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Can you imagine it — in No- vember?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Can you swim, Terry? ” he asked, when he returned.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Describe him, please, if you can. ” 228 TWISTED TRAILS “ Have n't I? ” laughed Steppy, pointing to his side.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did n't I tell you he had the eye of a fighting man?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did n't know they did, Terry. ” “ Who told you to feel me out about him? ” “ Pete — Pete Martel. ” Terry pondered a moment.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did she? ” he asked casually.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did they get the Snake? ” repeated Steppy.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did they get the Snake? ” said Steppy.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did you ever see this before? ” he barked, and held an automatic pistol before the boy's eyes.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Did you recognize the voice? ” she asked, fearfully.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do not fear, ” spoke the doctor soothingly, “ he does not bite. ” “ Have you been awake long? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do n’t you want to be useful? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do you happen to know if he would sell? ” “ The Martels?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do you happen to know if he would sell? ” “ The Martels?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do you know who owns it? ” “ Pierre Martel, ” said the doctor, turning to his work.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do you require the services of an aurist?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do you think you can command me?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Do you think you can play with me? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Does any one — in such sunshine? ” She laughed again and drew farther back into the shadows, pulling the dog with her.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Does any one — in such sunshine? ” she retorted, and laughing, she disappeared round the point.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Even over The Hammer. ” “ Lose much? ” asked Hartland.

nyp.33433076060015	“ Georges, you ca n't mean that? ” “ I do.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Have you been wading in the bayou, Pete Martel? ” Doctor Thibodeaux absolutely had no respect for the law.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Have you business with Mr. Martel, Senior, Mr. McGurk? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076060015	“ He could n't let his business interfere with his romance, could he? ” “ Well, he did n't at all events.
nyp.33433076060015	“ He looks as if his grain was n't doing him much good. ” “ You think he's a mutt? ” retorted Terry belligerently.
nyp.33433076060015	“ He shore looks a lot better'n he did this morning. ” “ Does he? ” demanded Terry eagerly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ He ’s gone? ” “ Yes. ” “ You are sure? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076060015	“ He ’s gone? ” “ Yes. ” “ You are sure? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Hear that, Terry? ” “ Sure, but I do n't know dog language.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Here comes Bomb Carkey a minute ago and says: 66 TWISTED TRAILS 67 “ Terry, you up against it? ’ ‘ Up against it hard, Bomb, ” I says.
nyp.33433076060015	“ How can you say that, Mr. Hartland?
nyp.33433076060015	“ How did they come to suspect that Warren is a de- tective? ” demanded Terry sharply.
nyp.33433076060015	“ How did you hear about it? ” Hartland chuckled with relish.
nyp.33433076060015	“ How do you get that way?
nyp.33433076060015	“ How do you happen to be here? ” he exclaimed in the same instant.
nyp.33433076060015	“ How fast? ” asked Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	“ How long we booked to stay here, Big Fellow? ” “ We'll hide all day and move again to- night, ” replied Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	“ How's that?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Huh?
nyp.33433076060015	“ I asked you where you going? ” “ Trail along and see, ” said Stephen blithely, and went on his way.
nyp.33433076060015	“ I hope you have no need of my services? ” “ No, it ai n't for me, doc.
nyp.33433076060015	“ I reckon I might as well be rescued now as later on. ” “ You're in no hurry about it? ” “ Certainly not.
nyp.33433076060015	“ I suppose you have no time for such foolishness yourself? ” “ Foolishness?
nyp.33433076060015	“ I suppose you have no time for such foolishness yourself? ” “ Foolishness?
nyp.33433076060015	“ I would as soon sing for you and kiss you, as any man living. ” “ So? ” chuckled the doctor.
nyp.33433076060015	“ I ’m keeping an eye on you long as you stay round here. ” “ Do you want to see my letters, sheriff? ” called Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	“ In there? ” demanded Terry, peering into the gloom of the swamp.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is Nailer all right? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is Terry keeping an eye on that nag of his? ” he said suddenly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is he drunk? ” “ No; but just as good.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is it possible?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is n't he a beauty, Georges? ” He nodded negligently without looking at the horse and came closer.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is n't it a chance to make money? ” “ Estella! ” protested Georges, greatly pleased.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is that enough, chauffeur? ” The sight of the money wrought an instant change in the chauffeur's attitude.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is that the name of the man you are looking for? ” “ Warren, eh? ” said the sheriff suspiciously.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Is that the name of the man you are looking for? ” “ Warren, eh? ” said the sheriff suspiciously.
nyp.33433076060015	“ It is Warren& McGurk, is it not? ” said Doctor Thibodeaux.
nyp.33433076060015	“ It is remarkable. ” “ He lives? ” asked Georges Martel.
nyp.33433076060015	“ It ’s all right; put it down. ” º “ Do you see, do you hear? ” growled Carkey.
nyp.33433076060015	“ It ’s one of Uncle Armand's! ” “ Doctor Thibodeaux? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076060015	“ It's very dramatic, is n't it? ” said Estella.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Just keep right on frying. ” “ When did the Martels get back? ” asked Terry cas- ually when the meal was before them.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Just out of curiosity, ” she said coldly, “ do n’t you really see anything reprehensible in your conduct?
nyp.33433076060015	“ LaFonte?

nyp.33433076060015	“ May I ask who has opened them?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Mebbe you figure on starting a glue factory over at the Mill? ” continued the Sheriff, in the character of a wit before his toadies.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Nailer? ” insisted Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	“ No, I do n't think you have changed at all, Georges. ” “ Then why are you different?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Now why did I do that? ” she demanded, holding the hand up to laugh at it.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Octave, ” said Stephen, “ you'd better hop into a pirogue and go out and give her a hand. ” “ Me — in a pirogue, Mr. Warren?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Octave? ” said Steppy.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Octol Octo'My cousin, what has been done to you?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Oh, hello, LeJeune; that you? ” greeted Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Oh, you were not trying to drive a nail into your head, LaFonte?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Perhaps he did, who knows?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Perhaps old Mr. Martel was n't sufficiently ill to serve your purpose? ” she suggested.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Pinched?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Pull him? ” gasped Terry in horror.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Put it that way? ” repeated the doctor, as if deeply puzzled.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Really, your acting is convincing — almost. ” “ Is Mr. Martel ill, now? ” he persisted.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Shall I tell you why? ” he said one evening as he super- vised Terry's application of the pungent body- wash on the colt.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Snake had a mask all over his head. ” “ How about his size? ” The boy nodded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ So that is it? ” she said.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Stop? ” he purred playfully.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Sure?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Talking about that, have you made up your mind about that job? ” “ Not yet, Mr. Hartland.
nyp.33433076060015	“ That new guy, Warren, wo n't try to horn in here, if he knows what's good for him, eh, Bomb? ” “ What do you know about it? ” “ Who, me?

nyp.33433076060015	“ That would take you out of the swamps into the Cajun country. ” “ Evangeline's country? ” he asked eagerly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ That you, Pete? ” came Georges'voice from the gloom near the veranda.
nyp.33433076060015	“ That?
nyp.33433076060015	“ The Martels?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Then how did it get into your ear, my poor LaFonte? ” “ I — I put the ear against it, m'sieu. ” “ So- still, still!
nyp.33433076060015	“ Then there is such a creature as the Snake? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Then you believe no more in the Snake than I do? ” said the doctor, smiling flatteringly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ They are very impetuous, these Yankees, when it is a matter of business, eh, Gambier? ” said he lightly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Thought I was scared at something, eh, you big baby? ” continued Terry, throwing his arm round the bay's head.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Was Pete up to Martel's since they came back? ” A nod answered the question in the affirmative.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Was her father a good business man? ” asked Stephen after a pause.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Well, Levy? ” Martel paused but did not turn round.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Well, doc? ” whispered Terry hoarsely.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Well, sheriff? ” said Warren, turning back, but the sheriff had gone.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Well, what d'you know about that? ” demanded Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Well, where would that bayou lead us? ” he asked, pointing to the bayou which came down from the north.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What d'you know about a bird like that, eh? ” Stephen replied carelessly, his mind busy with a quite different matter.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What d'you know about that? ” demanded Terry, unconscious of his appearance.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What did Herod bark at? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What did they do? ” “ They did — nothing.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What did this? ” he asked, when he had examined the torn ear.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What do you know about it, eh? ” whispered Terry, with the proprietary pride of a guide who displays a scene that makes an impression.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What do you mean by that, McGill? ” he asked after a moment of silence.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What does it all mean? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What else? ” “ Oh, there's the doctrine of fresh air and frequent baths.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What happened to'em?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What is it, Carkey? ” “ Where the devil do you think you're going?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What is it, Carkey? ” “ Where the devil do you think you're going?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What is it? ” demanded Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What would an outside detective be doing down here? ” persisted Terry.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What'd you do — wait for the whistle to wake you?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What'd you want to do — kill a guy? ” he panted.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's coming off? ” “ Hush''Stephen waited in agony.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's going to come off here? ” “ The place where we're going to hide is on the other side of the bayou, ” was the reply.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's that, Miss Reid? ” “ Jump.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's that? ” “ I do n't hear anything. ” They still spoke in whispers.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's the idea?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's the matter with him? ” said Warren.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's the matter?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's the matter? ” he gasped.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What's up, Pete? ” asked the driver languidly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What?
nyp.33433076060015	“ What? ” The question was repeated.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What? ” blurted the sheriff.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What? ” repeated Doctor Thibodeaux softly, and his square brown jaw crept dangerously forward.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What? ” whispered Teddy incredulously.
nyp.33433076060015	“ What? ” “ Strange but true.
nyp.33433076060015	“ When — when did she get it? ” “ When my sister, her mother, died, ” replied Doctor Thibodeaux seriously.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Where will that take us? ” “ Oh, that's an easy bayou to travel; with the current, as you see.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Where'd you come from?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Which beat you going to travel? ” “ The beat which the Snake probably took — into the swamp.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who did it? ” he bellowed.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who did it? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who is he? ” asked the doctor without moving.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who knows?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who knows?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who said that? ” “ Jean, the boatman. ” Stephen turned on the man.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who the devil asked you to butt in here? ” was his response.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who told you I was hurt? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who was that talking? ” he demanded as he marched across to the bunk- house door.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who were those people in the car? ” asked Stephen.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who's looking for it? ” His eye fell upon Steppy, the only one of the crowd who did not give back before his menacing glare.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Who- the Main Squeeze?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why did you come here now? ” Then it was Warren's turn to stare, for Carkey's hard face was a study of emotions.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why did you come — when they told you I was hurt? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why do n't you speak up now, some of you?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why do you say that? ” “ I heard about your enterprise in trying to purchase Black Woods, ” she said swiftly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why do you want to go tell me that and make me feel bad? ” he said mournfully.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why drag that up now?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why in the name of all the devils of civilization did you ask that? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why were you interested in him enough to ride him away from Lily City at night? ” he retorted.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Why? ” said he.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Will you kindly notice that my floor is not a barnyard?
nyp.33433076060015	“ Would n't it give you the willies, Nailer; would n't it, on the square? ” Nailer whinnied and stamped restlessly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Yes. ”- “ Who- who was it? ” “ The Sheriff, ” lied Stephen, “ Pete Martel. ” CHAPTER XX ILY CITY slumbered.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You all lake gumbo?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You are going to remain in Lily City, Mr. Warren? ” he asked formally.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You are making an arrest? ” “ As you see, doctor, ” the sheriff by now had Terry by the sleeve.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You do n't like it, Ambrose? ” “ This?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You do n't like it, Ambrose? ” “ This?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You find something to admire in that, my young friend? ” “ Great!
nyp.33433076060015	“ You got a room reserved at the hotel, suh? ” he asked, as he opened the door of his cab.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You mean — pull Nailer? ” Words failed him and he looked around for a weapon of offense, and the stranger went away hurriedly.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You say that Mr. Pierre Martel has gone over to the races? ” he asked as he followed Terry toward the mill office.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You sure ai n't satisfied? ” said Bicou sarcastically.
nyp.33433076060015	“ You think he did n't understand me, eh?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You will, eh?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You ’re not hurt?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You ’re one of these fancy fair- play, no- kicking mitt artists, are you?
nyp.33433076060015	“ You've got some, I know. ” “ Yes, yes; but this money, Georges, do you know how I got it? ” stammered the old man.
nyp.33433076060015	“ Your talking drives them away. ” “ Really? ” “ Go on, please.

osu.32435017700840	164 THE QUILLMORES “ Do you then charge him with the conflagra- tion? ” And the issue was made.
osu.32435017700840	Aber where is the colonel ’s wife? ” George did n’t know.
osu.32435017700840	Ah, would you? ” and another of the masked guard dropped a club from a pierced and bleeding hand.
osu.32435017700840	And Father Lessing?
osu.32435017700840	And could nothing be done, in the absence of the banker, to save his house and his name — and perhaps his bank in the general smash- up?
osu.32435017700840	And still, what could these tried and trusty friends do?
osu.32435017700840	And what was the immediate cause?
osu.32435017700840	And where will the ending be?
osu.32435017700840	And who was with the colonel late the evening before?
osu.32435017700840	And why? ” he cried in real or well- feigned amaze.
osu.32435017700840	Anyone sick, Gus, who needs anything besides medicines or groceries? ” Doc Gus knew of no one in such need.
osu.32435017700840	Be cheerful, will you?
osu.32435017700840	But I first asked ‘ Where have you been, mother? ” “ ‘ Children must ask no questions, you know.
osu.32435017700840	But what of it?
osu.32435017700840	But where ’s our money to come from? ” asked a voice at the edge of the street- crowd, in a high and piercing tone.
osu.32435017700840	Ca n’t some of you stop that — bell?
osu.32435017700840	Can it be another fire?
osu.32435017700840	Can you sit up now? ” 250 THE QUILLMORES He made the effort, though leaning heavily upon the doctor ’s arm.
osu.32435017700840	Did he truly believe that L’Oiseau was doing all or only those things which a true gentleman could or should do?
osu.32435017700840	Did you get chilly in this midnight air, waiting? ” No, he had n’t.
osu.32435017700840	Did you, Mat Treegood, Philosopher and Expert Moralist of Lamo, ever know of a single, solitary thing that she done that was wrong?
osu.32435017700840	Do n’t know me?
osu.32435017700840	Do n’t you know “ Coffee?
osu.32435017700840	Do you expect she ’s got some of that'lixir- stuff you told us about the other day, that some old Spaniard tried to find in Florida?
osu.32435017700840	Do you hear me?
osu.32435017700840	Do you hear me?
osu.32435017700840	Do you know what I mean?
osu.32435017700840	Do you understand me?
osu.32435017700840	Do you understand? ” Yes, he understood.
osu.32435017700840	Get completely away from your business 5* “ And the business? ” interrupted the banker.
osu.32435017700840	Get it to the driver, and tell him I will follow with the other half, if he will wait, and there will be a coin for you. ” Breakfast?
osu.32435017700840	Go to the colonel and advise him of the scandalous talk now in circulation, concern- ing his wife and the cashier?
osu.32435017700840	Had I been driving and been thrown out of my buggy?
osu.32435017700840	Had he heard a cry?
osu.32435017700840	Had the criminality of this unhappy, decency- defying pair gone to the extreme of murder, in which both had partici- pated?
osu.32435017700840	Had there been a sufficient in- terval between the firing of the shots and his arrival for the cashier to have carried the body from the orchard?
osu.32435017700840	Hain’t we all changed?
osu.32435017700840	He came from the South, did he not? ” Answers were given with excited promptness.
osu.32435017700840	He to sleep went in your arms, al- ready — yes?
osu.32435017700840	Heed them ’’ ‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	Heed them ’’ ‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	How could I face the doctor, after all that?
osu.32435017700840	How did it finally come about?
osu.32435017700840	How that could happen to take place?
osu.32435017700840	How was it with himself?
osu.32435017700840	I cain’t hear what she's a- sayin ’. ” Then again to the'phone, “ What?
osu.32435017700840	I know, because — well, I got it from M'liss 5* “ That was the hepsey- harum, wa’n’t it, who got her walking- papers for stealing?
osu.32435017700840	I said to Ory — ” “ You told Ory? ” interrupted the doctor.
osu.32435017700840	I ’ll overtake you before you have gone very far. ” “ Where am I? ” asked a feeble voice.
osu.32435017700840	I ’m goin’ to let the colonel'tend to his business and his wife, and you better agree to the same. ’ ’ “ But ai n’t she changed?
osu.32435017700840	If I should stay — if I was n’t arrested and sent to** SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	If I should stay — if I was n’t arrested and sent to** SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	If it is going to shorten my life — well, brothers, what have I to live for?
osu.32435017700840	In short, why did n’t this man attend to his business as well as anyone thereabouts could attend to it for him?
osu.32435017700840	Is Abe Treegood with you? ” “ Yes, I remumbur him coming a- horseback as we was a- drivin ’.
osu.32435017700840	Is it then so bad as all that?
osu.32435017700840	Is this your idea of American manhood?
osu.32435017700840	It has occurred to me, suppose I do unearth a serious defalcation — what am I to do?
osu.32435017700840	It was you and your companion, then, that I left by the side of your dear father?
osu.32435017700840	Married?
osu.32435017700840	May I ride with you a little Stretch? ’ ” “ Step in, Father.
osu.32435017700840	No, I do n’t want two — what would the poor fellow do with two?—I want one — who for?
osu.32435017700840	No?
osu.32435017700840	Nothing, did we say?
osu.32435017700840	Now, what do you ad- vise about that, doctor? ” “ That ’s easy, my lad.
osu.32435017700840	Oh, you ’ve got that, have you?
osu.32435017700840	Or was this an effort of the woman to shield the one whom she knew to be now in the toils of the law?
osu.32435017700840	Outside of its charmed circle, however, you are bound much stronger Still. ” “ And what should that mean? ” asked the doctor.
osu.32435017700840	Queer place that, is n’t it?
osu.32435017700840	Remumbur that, will you? ” Meanwhile within the bank the doctor had again taken up the struggle.
osu.32435017700840	S'pose you want the hearse? ” There seemed to be some doubt.
osu.32435017700840	Say, I want you to send me by next — What?
osu.32435017700840	THE FORGOTTEN BELL 229 Was there to be the additional incident of foot- pads to the other troubles of the day?
osu.32435017700840	Take your wife and boy and go away somewhere — Where shall he go, Gus? ” “ To Europe or Australia.
osu.32435017700840	That is true, is it not? ” “ Have I not said, ” laughed the priest, ‘ ‘ that you are a shrewd man and close- mouthed?
osu.32435017700840	That is true, is it not? ” “ Have I not said, ” laughed the priest, ‘ ‘ that you are a shrewd man and close- mouthed?
osu.32435017700840	That ’s the old bell in the Presby- terian ‘ cupelow. ” What ’s it ringing for at all — and at this time o ’ night?
osu.32435017700840	That ’s the source of your information, is it?
osu.32435017700840	The boy has never had a mother ’s care. ” “ And about the father's care? ” asked Doc Gus.
osu.32435017700840	The whole familié the consumption fever has got, no — yes? ” “ Hard to say, mother.
osu.32435017700840	Then I answered ‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	Then I answered ‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	This is the Casket Company, and is it Mr. Day?
osu.32435017700840	Thus the approaches to this “ awful? ” spot, in the eyes, at least, of the villagers, needed no guarding.
osu.32435017700840	Uncle Ira will help you. ” “ Are you going, Father Lessing? ” asked the doctor, as he noted the back of the priest ’s robe.
osu.32435017700840	Und so the cashier is gone to the jail?
osu.32435017700840	Understand, mother? ” “ Sure — I wo n’t tell him nothings.
osu.32435017700840	Was he living a double life?
osu.32435017700840	Was he really as blind as his vociferous and indignant pretense would indicate?
osu.32435017700840	Was it Ranweed again?
osu.32435017700840	Was it not from the direction of the just- disap- peared vehicle?
osu.32435017700840	Was not this sufficient to convince Madame?
osu.32435017700840	Was this bank affair to run out its own questionable course as had the other and more personally family matters?
osu.32435017700840	Was you by the fire yourself? ” George explained briefly.
osu.32435017700840	Were there still other arrows in the quiver of the avenging angel?
osu.32435017700840	What am I to do, brothers? ” Uncle I ’ looked at Doc Gus to continue as the spokesman.
osu.32435017700840	What are you waiting for?
osu.32435017700840	What caused these wild cries of alarm?
osu.32435017700840	What good ’s yer reading done you?
osu.32435017700840	What have we to do that can not be brought before the general lodge or the church?
osu.32435017700840	What is there for me to live for?
osu.32435017700840	What more could the poor, tired- out, distracted, sorrowing doctor say?
osu.32435017700840	What real good to humanity can you ac- complish with your discovery?
osu.32435017700840	What say you? ” he asked.
osu.32435017700840	What was left for the doctor to do?
osu.32435017700840	What was that to a consideration for the living?
osu.32435017700840	What ’s that?
osu.32435017700840	What ’s the matter now?
osu.32435017700840	What?
osu.32435017700840	Where is there a married couple who ’s lived together for ten or twenty years as has n’t had some storms as well as fair weather?
osu.32435017700840	Where was the colonel?
osu.32435017700840	Where ’s that rope? ” Someone was expostulating with them, pleading doubtlessly — explaining matters, perhaps.
osu.32435017700840	Which way yourself, Father? ” “ I have been there this morning, and I have left him very feeble.
osu.32435017700840	Who has the courage to tell the truth to a friend?
osu.32435017700840	Who have you been fighting with, and which of you got whipped?
osu.32435017700840	Who would dare be this messenger of evil to Pharaoh?
osu.32435017700840	Who would dare to insinuate to the colonel that his wife was carrying on a liaison on so flimsy a testimony as the common rumor of the neighbor- hood?
osu.32435017700840	Who would dare, would undertake that most delicate if not most dangerous task — of attacking a man ’s wife to his face?
osu.32435017700840	Why did he not recall his son, whose aid might be invaluable in an emergency such as this?
osu.32435017700840	Why did not the colonel ‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	Why did not the colonel ‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	Why do n’t you mind your own-business? ’ It was out before I knew it was going to be said.
osu.32435017700840	Why per- sist in making a scene then and there, before the servants?
osu.32435017700840	Why should n’t she?
osu.32435017700840	Why this sudden and indecent haste, mes braves?
osu.32435017700840	Why?
osu.32435017700840	Wo n’t we ever get to the end of these calamities?
osu.32435017700840	You are hungrig already, yes?
osu.32435017700840	You understand me,—do you not? ” “ I understand you, my son; but you are wrong, eternally and dangerously wrong in your sur- mises.
osu.32435017700840	You were prowling about there, were you? ” No answer.
osu.32435017700840	You will answer that — or do n’t you dare to? ” “ How should I know that, my son the doctor? ” lamely quibbled the priest.
osu.32435017700840	You will answer that — or do n’t you dare to? ” “ How should I know that, my son the doctor? ” lamely quibbled the priest.
osu.32435017700840	what next? ” exclaimed Uncle, as the priest waited a moment to catch another breath — he had been running for a con- siderable distance.
osu.32435017700840	‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	‘ ‘ SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN??
osu.32435017700840	“ Ah, Mr. Treegood, is it not?

nyp.33433076079387	Did you see anybody else that night — Monday night?
nyp.33433076079387	Did you see anything, George?
nyp.33433076079387	Did you talk with Eidstein?
nyp.33433076079387	Did you wake her up, Mattie?
nyp.33433076079387	Did.. she call out to him?"
nyp.33433076079387	Do I have to tell that?
nyp.33433076079387	Do n't you know the other, Miss Fulton, equally well?
nyp.33433076079387	Do n't you know?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you know what it was?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you know where Mrs..Withers'servant lives?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you know whether Mrs. Withers had any valuable jewelry — rings, stuff of that kind?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you know, Mr. Morley, whether they had a quarrel yesterday?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you remember anything else about how the bearded man looked?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you think,he asked Miss Martin,"there's the slightest chance of his getting up this evening, or tonight?"
nyp.33433076079387	Do you want them here, and now?
nyp.33433076079387	Do you?
nyp.33433076079387	Doctor,requested Greenleaf,"look at this body, will you?
nyp.33433076079387	Even when Mrs. Withers was here nursing Miss Fulton?
nyp.33433076079387	Excuse me,Bristow interposed;"but was n't it Abrahamson who told you the bearded man looked like Withers?"
nyp.33433076079387	First, however,he supplemented in his light, conversational tone,"how about you?"
nyp.33433076079387	Got anything from Baltimore?
nyp.33433076079387	Had you been asleep during the two hours be- fore that?
nyp.33433076079387	Has he been around this morning?
nyp.33433076079387	Has he said anything to you since Monday night?
nyp.33433076079387	Has she had much bromide — stuff like that?
nyp.33433076079387	Have n't you any idea yet where to look for the murderer? nyp.33433076079387 Have you anything new, anything additional?"
nyp.33433076079387	Have you ever heard anything else like that at any other time?
nyp.33433076079387	Have you seen the man with the beard since?
nyp.33433076079387	He said all that, in what connection — crime?
nyp.33433076079387	He was wealthy then?
nyp.33433076079387	Hear anything about Perry?
nyp.33433076079387	How about Miss Fulton?
nyp.33433076079387	How about Withers?
nyp.33433076079387	How about the diamonds and emeralds?
nyp.33433076079387	How about the newspapers?
nyp.33433076079387	How about the time between midnight and two in the morning? nyp.33433076079387 How did Morley look when he showed up there the second time?"
nyp.33433076079387	How do they happen to be working for you?
nyp.33433076079387	How do you explain that?
nyp.33433076079387	How do you know that? nyp.33433076079387 How do you know that?"
nyp.33433076079387	How in thunder did you get this out of the woman?
nyp.33433076079387	How is Miss Fulton?
nyp.33433076079387	How long has she been awake?
nyp.33433076079387	How long has she heen dead?
nyp.33433076079387	How old is Miss Fulton?
nyp.33433076079387	How will we find that out?
nyp.33433076079387	How?
nyp.33433076079387	How?
nyp.33433076079387	I beg your pardon,he called to her persua- sively,"but may I trouble you to come up here for a moment?"
nyp.33433076079387	I should say murder, or something just a little short of murder — wouldn't you?
nyp.33433076079387	I'm MISS FULTON WRITES A LETTER 239 yesterday were not Mrs. Withers', why would n't the man who pawned them come forward and say so? nyp.33433076079387 If I begin to talk in my sleep, Miss Kelly, call me, wake me up, will you?"
nyp.33433076079387	In here?
nyp.33433076079387	Is that so? nyp.33433076079387 Is there anything more?"
nyp.33433076079387	It must have belonged to Mrs. Withers, do n't you think?
nyp.33433076079387	It was a hypodermic injection, was n't it?
nyp.33433076079387	Just what news?
nyp.33433076079387	Just what was the feeling between the two sis- ters?
nyp.33433076079387	Makes you sleep soundly?
nyp.33433076079387	Mattie, did n't I hear Perry tell you yesterday that he was to go to work this morning for Mrs. Withers,'making'her garden?
nyp.33433076079387	Miss Fulton said nothing to you about a quarrel?
nyp.33433076079387	Miss Fulton, who was the man?
nyp.33433076079387	Miss Fulton,he asked,"you and Mr. Morley are engaged to be married, are n't you?"
nyp.33433076079387	Mr. Braceway is working with you, is n't he?
nyp.33433076079387	Mr. Withers,he asked,"as a matter of fact, did you ever know that your wife had pawned her jewels?"
nyp.33433076079387	None at all?
nyp.33433076079387	Not at all?
nyp.33433076079387	Not on the porch?
nyp.33433076079387	Nothing more than that?
nyp.33433076079387	Now, about Withers? nyp.33433076079387 Now, about the emeralds and diamonds?"
nyp.33433076079387	Now,he said, fixing his keen glance upon her,"about this quarrel you and your sister had yes- terday?"
nyp.33433076079387	Oh, what's the use? nyp.33433076079387 Oh, you got that — by wire?"
nyp.33433076079387	Oh,''Bristow asked, as if suddenly remember- ing an important item,what kind of shoes is Perry wearing?"
nyp.33433076079387	Pawning something, perhaps?
nyp.33433076079387	Rubber soles?
nyp.33433076079387	Rubbers?
nyp.33433076079387	Same sort of thing?
nyp.33433076079387	Send him up to my room, will you?
nyp.33433076079387	She did n't try to identify him?
nyp.33433076079387	Suppose,said Braceway,"we let him leave Furmville, let him go back to Washington, with the hope that he does pawn the stuff he's stolen?"
nyp.33433076079387	Tell me this: would the ordinary man in the street have noticed that the gold tooth was a false, clumsy affair?
nyp.33433076079387	Tell me,Braceway asked with undisguised eagerness,"did this man wear a beard?"
nyp.33433076079387	That is — that was Mrs. Withers, was n't it?
nyp.33433076079387	That's funny, is n't it?
nyp.33433076079387	That,he said easily,"accounts for you, does n't it?
nyp.33433076079387	The fellow with the gold tooth?
nyp.33433076079387	Then I was right? nyp.33433076079387 Then I'll see you in the morning?"
nyp.33433076079387	Then, how did you wake yourself up thoroughly enough to know that it was exactly five minutes past two?
nyp.33433076079387	Then, when did you give him — let him have Mrs. Withers'ring?
nyp.33433076079387	Then, with sharp direct- ness, he asked her:Who do you think killed your sister?"
nyp.33433076079387	They were worth so much as all that?
nyp.33433076079387	This ring,he said;"whose is it?"
nyp.33433076079387	Very well,agreed Beale, and turned to Brace- way:"Will that be satisfactory?"
nyp.33433076079387	Wants to see me, Miss Kelly?
nyp.33433076079387	Was Perry drunk last night? nyp.33433076079387 Was he still there then?"
nyp.33433076079387	Was there anything else?
nyp.33433076079387	Was there anything peculiar about him? nyp.33433076079387 We never know what's ahead of us, do we?
nyp.33433076079387	Well, Mr. Braceway, what is it? nyp.33433076079387 Well, chief,"he said,"what do you make out of all this?
nyp.33433076079387	Well, how did you doubt her?
nyp.33433076079387	Well,Bristow urged him on,"what hap- pened?"
nyp.33433076079387	Well?
nyp.33433076079387	Were is she?
nyp.33433076079387	What about make- up?
nyp.33433076079387	What about the medicine?
nyp.33433076079387	What are you after, though?
nyp.33433076079387	What are you talking about?
nyp.33433076079387	What did I do then?
nyp.33433076079387	What did he do after he had looked back at you while he was going upstairs?'' nyp.33433076079387 What did he want?"
nyp.33433076079387	What did you do then?
nyp.33433076079387	What did you do then?
nyp.33433076079387	What did you do then?
nyp.33433076079387	What did you get from Withers?
nyp.33433076079387	What did you hear?
nyp.33433076079387	What did you see? nyp.33433076079387 What did you think about his shaving off the beard at that time in the morning?"
nyp.33433076079387	What do we care about murder? nyp.33433076079387 What do you make of it?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you make of that?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you make of that?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you make of that?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you think of that?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you think this hold was?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you think?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you want to do at six?
nyp.33433076079387	What does all this amount to anyway? nyp.33433076079387 What for?"
nyp.33433076079387	What for?
nyp.33433076079387	What happened after that?
nyp.33433076079387	What have you got, Avery?
nyp.33433076079387	What is it? nyp.33433076079387 What is it?"
nyp.33433076079387	What is it?
nyp.33433076079387	What is it?
nyp.33433076079387	What kind of something?
nyp.33433076079387	What made you think that?
nyp.33433076079387	What makes you so positive of that?
nyp.33433076079387	What name — under what name?
nyp.33433076079387	What next? nyp.33433076079387 What the devil does he mean?"
nyp.33433076079387	What then?
nyp.33433076079387	What time did Delaney lose sight of Morley?
nyp.33433076079387	What time was that?
nyp.33433076079387	What time was that?
nyp.33433076079387	What time was that?
nyp.33433076079387	What was he doing in the hotel? nyp.33433076079387 What was it about?"
nyp.33433076079387	What was it?
nyp.33433076079387	What was it?
nyp.33433076079387	What was the result of that situation? nyp.33433076079387 What were Mrs. Withers'jewels worth?"
nyp.33433076079387	What's funny?
nyp.33433076079387	What's her name?
nyp.33433076079387	What's that, Mattie?
nyp.33433076079387	What's that?
nyp.33433076079387	What's the matter with him?
nyp.33433076079387	What's this'here'about?
nyp.33433076079387	What's your guess about today?
nyp.33433076079387	What's your idca? nyp.33433076079387 When was that?"
nyp.33433076079387	When?
nyp.33433076079387	When?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did she get it, then?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did the clerk get this?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did you get that?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did you get this?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did you go?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did you watch from?
nyp.33433076079387	Where's the doctor?
nyp.33433076079387	Where, then? nyp.33433076079387 Where?
nyp.33433076079387	Where?
nyp.33433076079387	Who are they?
nyp.33433076079387	Who says I said that?
nyp.33433076079387	Who sent for the doctor?
nyp.33433076079387	Who was it? nyp.33433076079387 Who's this Eidstein, a pawn broker?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why ca n't we get it tonight — or tomorrow at the latest? nyp.33433076079387 Why did you refuse yesterday to tell me this; and why do you volunteer it now?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why did you send for me, Miss Fulton?
nyp.33433076079387	Why do n't you go back with me? nyp.33433076079387 Why is it that most of the criminals are merely children?
nyp.33433076079387	Why me instead of your lawyer, Judge Rogers?
nyp.33433076079387	Why waste mental energy on him? nyp.33433076079387 Why waste more time?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why wo n't he, if he sees we've got the guilty man?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Will I see you again this afternoon?
nyp.33433076079387	Will she stick to what she says in this paper?
nyp.33433076079387	Will the test show whether it's a white per- son's skin or a nigger's?
nyp.33433076079387	Wo n't you sit down?
nyp.33433076079387	Yes — what then?
nyp.33433076079387	Yes,the other returned absent- mindedly;"why did n't he?"
nyp.33433076079387	Yes? nyp.33433076079387 Yes?"
nyp.33433076079387	You are?
nyp.33433076079387	You con- fessed to her, did you?
nyp.33433076079387	You did n't hear what they said?
nyp.33433076079387	You heard absolutely nothing and saw nothing 72 THE WINNING CLUE until you discovered your sister's body at ten o'clock'this morning?
nyp.33433076079387	You know you're under arrest for embezzle- ment, do n't you?
nyp.33433076079387	You mean a confession?
nyp.33433076079387	You mean blackmail?
nyp.33433076079387	You mean nobody expected you?
nyp.33433076079387	You mean the rubies?
nyp.33433076079387	You mean to say,put in Bristow,"that this sick girl was here all night and heard nothing?"
nyp.33433076079387	You mean you were suspicious of her — jealous Of her?
nyp.33433076079387	You saw him two months ago, then?
nyp.33433076079387	You see what I mean? nyp.33433076079387 You still think that man is Morley?"
nyp.33433076079387	You think he?
nyp.33433076079387	You want me to believe that, when you saw this man two blocks away at half- past one in the morning, you noticed he wore a beard? nyp.33433076079387 You're a detective?"
nyp.33433076079387	You're not afraid our case wo n't hold water, are you?
nyp.33433076079387	You? nyp.33433076079387 *Where did you go, then?
nyp.33433076079387	.What was — what is your idea about that?"
nyp.33433076079387	112 THE WINNING CLUE"What do you make of it?"
nyp.33433076079387	154 THE WINNING CLUE lobby was the one you had seen going into the post- office?"
nyp.33433076079387	16 THE WINNING CLUE"What were they?"
nyp.33433076079387	191 would n't you?
nyp.33433076079387	48 THE WINNING CLUE"This man,"the chief put in;"what did he look like?"
nyp.33433076079387	5 and murder her?
nyp.33433076079387	After that, what?
nyp.33433076079387	Allen?"
nyp.33433076079387	Although he, Bristow, had expressed to Green- leaf only last night his confidence in Withers'in- nocence, would it be wise to hold to such a belief?
nyp.33433076079387	And now she wanted to help Braceway, not Bris- tow?
nyp.33433076079387	And two months ago?
nyp.33433076079387	And with what result?"
nyp.33433076079387	And yet, he thought, why dislike him?
nyp.33433076079387	Anything else?"
nyp.33433076079387	Anyway, it certainly will nail him, wo n't it?
nyp.33433076079387	Are we to lose all faith in blood?"
nyp.33433076079387	Are you groping around here helplessly after all this time?
nyp.33433076079387	Big money in it, is n't there?"
nyp.33433076079387	Braceway hurried to the sick man's room and, having been ushered in by Miss Martin, found him, 218 THE WINNING CLUE"What makes you say that?"
nyp.33433076079387	Braceway?"
nyp.33433076079387	Braceway?"
nyp.33433076079387	Bristow was astonished, but his voice was un- coloured by surprise when he inquired:"Are you sure of that?"
nyp.33433076079387	Bristow?"
nyp.33433076079387	But where?"
nyp.33433076079387	But, you do n't feel anyways sure Perry's the guilty man, do you?"
nyp.33433076079387	By the way, ca n't you have somebody, your man Jenkins or some one as good as he is, go out on a real hunt for the fellow with the gold tooth?
nyp.33433076079387	By the way, how did it happen?
nyp.33433076079387	By the way, if I should need to do so, how can I per- suade anybody that I have authority to ask ques- tions, or to do anything else in this matter?"
nyp.33433076079387	By the way, sir, can you tell me where Mr. With- ers is?"
nyp.33433076079387	By the way, you'll be up here at four?"
nyp.33433076079387	Ca n't you tell us where you went?"
nyp.33433076079387	Can you do that?"
nyp.33433076079387	Can you explain that for us, Miss Ful- ton?"
nyp.33433076079387	Captain Greenleaf?"
nyp.33433076079387	Come back here for me at four, will you?"
nyp.33433076079387	Come up here, will you?
nyp.33433076079387	Could he have been mistaken, en- tirely wrong?
nyp.33433076079387	Could n't he realize, with- out being told, that he might be charged with the murder at any moment?

nyp.33433076079387	Could you follow me and take a look^at a man who'll be with me there?"
nyp.33433076079387	Could you tell me anything con- cerning it?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did he have rubber shoes?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did he meet anybody, or write any- thing?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did n't you get close to his face?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did she tell you?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did you ever'make up'with a beard?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did you find out anything?"
nyp.33433076079387	Did your man pick him up at the train?''
nyp.33433076079387	Do n't you remember that Perry told you be was going to Mrs. Withers'house and steal her jewelry?"
nyp.33433076079387	Do n't you think so?"
nyp.33433076079387	Do you mean to say you're go- ing to let him cram this into you?"
nyp.33433076079387	Do you see?"
nyp.33433076079387	Ef he ain'done tuk dat key fum me an'den later flung it back on de flo'uv my house, who did do it?"
nyp.33433076079387	Even if Morley has embezzled from the bank, how closely have I coupled him with the crime?
nyp.33433076079387	Fulton?"
nyp.33433076079387	Got here on the eight o'clock train yes- terday morning?
nyp.33433076079387	Had you ever seen him before?"
nyp.33433076079387	Half- past five?"
nyp.33433076079387	Has n't he assassinated, so far as he could, its good name?
nyp.33433076079387	Has n't he tried to murder this bank?
nyp.33433076079387	Have you had any rest at all, today or yesterday?"
nyp.33433076079387	He came back and referred to Bristow's offer of help:"For instance?"
nyp.33433076079387	He had found also that, if a man's vocabulary is without a"perhaps"or 236 MISS FULTON WRITES A LETTER 237 a"but why could n't it be the other way?"
nyp.33433076079387	He has n't had a hemorrhage, has he?"
nyp.33433076079387	He look'at me kinder mad an'he said:'Whut you talkin''bout, boy?
nyp.33433076079387	He put one more question:"Do you happen to know why she wishes to see me?"
nyp.33433076079387	He turned to Greenleaf:"Have n't you had enough of this drool?
nyp.33433076079387	He was not certain, but when had George left Atlanta, ostensibly for Mem< phis?
nyp.33433076079387	He's EYES OF ACCUSATION 105 a good fellow, and all that, but — what do you think?"
nyp.33433076079387	How about me?"
nyp.33433076079387	How about that?
nyp.33433076079387	How about the jewelry you pawned in Baltimore today?"
nyp.33433076079387	How did she do that?
nyp.33433076079387	How did you find this out?"
nyp.33433076079387	How do they compare with those on the list of Withers'stuff?"
nyp.33433076079387	How do you happen to be here?"
nyp.33433076079387	How does that strike you?"
nyp.33433076079387	How does that strike you?"
nyp.33433076079387	How was Morley hooked up with the hidden phase of the affair?
nyp.33433076079387	How will you send for it?"
nyp.33433076079387	How would it look to him?
nyp.33433076079387	How would the circumstances shape themselves?
nyp.33433076079387	How would you describe this fellow in addition to the fact that he wore the beard and the gold tooth?"
nyp.33433076079387	How — how did it happen?"
nyp.33433076079387	I always relied on others — do you see?
nyp.33433076079387	I never could find out,""You had no six or seven thousand dollars to give her for that purpose, as I understand it?"
nyp.33433076079387	I really apologize, but may I ask what your relations with Miss Fulton are?"
nyp.33433076079387	I'm not crazy, am I?
nyp.33433076079387	If disor- ganized rumour grew into positive accusation And what of himself, Bristow?
nyp.33433076079387	If there was n't anything crooked about them, why should he hide himself?
nyp.33433076079387	If you should remember, if the association of ideas produces anything, I wonder if you'd wire me?"
nyp.33433076079387	Is n't that all, chief?"
nyp.33433076079387	Is n't that so?"
nyp.33433076079387	Is that it?"
nyp.33433076079387	It is a go?"
nyp.33433076079387	It might be that the sister, Maria Fulton, in an excess of rage — But why reason about that before he had talked to her?
nyp.33433076079387	Just what did he mean?"
nyp.33433076079387	Keene?"
nyp.33433076079387	Leave me now, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433076079387	MISS FULTON IS HYSTERICAL 71 lie bad yet spoken,"did you see or hear anything last night in connection with this tragedy, the death of your sister?"
nyp.33433076079387	MISS FULTON'S REVELATION WHAT'S BRACEWAY'S GAME?
nyp.33433076079387	MOELEY IS IN A HURRY 57"Mrs. Withers was always a laughing, spark- ling sort of a person, was n't.< he?"
nyp.33433076079387	Mercy?
nyp.33433076079387	Morley sighed and put down his paper before he answered:"What is it?"
nyp.33433076079387	Morley?"
nyp.33433076079387	Morley?"
nyp.33433076079387	Morley?"
nyp.33433076079387	Now, Mr. Withers, what did you do yes- terday, all day yesterday, after reaching here?"
nyp.33433076079387	Now, just one other thing: what did you think, what do you think, of Miss Fulton?"
nyp.33433076079387	Now, let me ask one more question: why, exactly are you following Morley?"
nyp.33433076079387	Now, tell me this: how did this fellow strike you?
nyp.33433076079387	Now, what are we to do?
nyp.33433076079387	Now, will you do it?"
nyp.33433076079387	Now, will you show me what he pawned two months ago, and three months ago?"
nyp.33433076079387	On the way back to the hotel, Bristow asked:"What about Withers'story of his struggle — the'big, strong man'who flung him down the walk?"
nyp.33433076079387	Put somebody on the job of watching for the incoming trains from Baltimore, will you?
nyp.33433076079387	Remember, you'll let me sleep?"
nyp.33433076079387	Right away?
nyp.33433076079387	Right away?"
nyp.33433076079387	Right now, Mistuh Bristow?"
nyp.33433076079387	Shall I keep him on?"
nyp.33433076079387	She still thinks Morley is the man?"
nyp.33433076079387	Should he trust this man?
nyp.33433076079387	So, why worry?"
nyp.33433076079387	THE BREATH OF SCANDAL 83"How do you know that?"
nyp.33433076079387	THE BREATH OF SCANDAL 87"Has he ever registered at any of the hotels here?"
nyp.33433076079387	THE BREATH OP SCANDAL 85"What did he say?"
nyp.33433076079387	That suit you?"
nyp.33433076079387	That's what is always given to tuberculars to prevent violent spells of coughing, is n't it?"
nyp.33433076079387	The interrogator broke the silence at last:"Of course, Mr. Withers, there's some good ex- planation for your secret trip to Furmville?"
nyp.33433076079387	Then Bristow inquired,"What's the new thing you've dug up?"
nyp.33433076079387	There flash into my mind links and links of thoughts until I have a chain leading to — where?
nyp.33433076079387	There's money in it, is n't there?"
nyp.33433076079387	This Morley, this wooer of Maria, seems to have his head within stinging range of the hor- nets, does n't he?"
nyp.33433076079387	Twelve- fifteen?
nyp.33433076079387	WHAT'S BRACEWAY'S GAME?
nyp.33433076079387	WHAT'S BRACEWAY'S GAME?
nyp.33433076079387	Was n't it too dark?"
nyp.33433076079387	Was the hinge working then?"
nyp.33433076079387	Was there any reason, any logic, any mercy in that?
nyp.33433076079387	We'll make the re- quest, of course, that they watch the pawnshops and nab anybody who shows up with any of the Withers stuff?"
nyp.33433076079387	Were you asleep at all before midnight?"
nyp.33433076079387	What about Corning, the loan- shark in Virginia?"
nyp.33433076079387	What about Perry last Monday night?"
nyp.33433076079387	What are you planning?"
nyp.33433076079387	What are you talking about?"
nyp.33433076079387	What can you tell us?"
nyp.33433076079387	What caused death?"
nyp.33433076079387	What could Abrahamson have meant by indi- cating a belief that the man with the gold tooth looked like George Withers?
nyp.33433076079387	What did you see?"
nyp.33433076079387	What did you see?"
nyp.33433076079387	What did you think of him when he was in here pawning jewels and wearing a disguise?"
nyp.33433076079387	What did you think?
nyp.33433076079387	What do his eyes bring up in my mind?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you intend to do at the in- quest tomorrow?
nyp.33433076079387	What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433076079387	What do you think?"
nyp.33433076079387	What does the moustache remind me of?
nyp.33433076079387	What for?"
nyp.33433076079387	What is it?"
nyp.33433076079387	What more do I want?
nyp.33433076079387	What possible interest could they have in running him down, in ruining his standing?
nyp.33433076079387	What then?"
nyp.33433076079387	What time is it now?
nyp.33433076079387	What was his story?"
nyp.33433076079387	What was in his voice that made me think I had seen him before?
nyp.33433076079387	What was it, Miss Fulton?"
nyp.33433076079387	What was the matter with George anyhow?
nyp.33433076079387	What we want to do MORLEY IS IN A HURRY 63"What did Perry have to say?
nyp.33433076079387	What will we do?
nyp.33433076079387	What would be the result of circumstantial evidence?
nyp.33433076079387	What would be the result of it all — the result for him?
nyp.33433076079387	What would you say?"
nyp.33433076079387	What'll I tell him?"
nyp.33433076079387	What's his idea about scandal, I wonder?
nyp.33433076079387	What's the man trying to establish anyhow?
nyp.33433076079387	What's their game — to find the real murderer or to shut up a family scandal?"
nyp.33433076079387	What, then, they asked, was the true sit- uation back of the pursuit and persecution of the bank clerk, Henry Morley?
nyp.33433076079387	When Bristow handed him the watch Maria Fulton had found, he said laughingly:"It's a good thing George told me about it, is n't it?
nyp.33433076079387	When can we get that report?"
nyp.33433076079387	When will he be here?"
nyp.33433076079387	Where are you now?
nyp.33433076079387	Where did she get the money to re- deem them after the first pawning?"
nyp.33433076079387	Where did you see him?"
nyp.33433076079387	Where had George Withers been then?
nyp.33433076079387	Where has it all gone?
nyp.33433076079387	Where were you all the after- A CONFESSION 225 noon preceeding the time you showed up at Eidstein's?"
nyp.33433076079387	Where's Miss Hardesty now?"

nyp.33433076079387	Who done drap it dar ef Perry ain'drapped it?
nyp.33433076079387	Who says you're sick?
nyp.33433076079387	Who would ever have suspected that there had been in her life any foothold for tragedy?
nyp.33433076079387	Whose is it?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why do you ask me all these foolish little questions?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why had death singled her out?
nyp.33433076079387	Why had n't he acknowledged the telegram of yesterday?
nyp.33433076079387	Why keep on fighting what I've proved?
nyp.33433076079387	Why not make certain of it at once?
nyp.33433076079387	Why should he say that when Abrahamson contradicts it at once by telling you they were at no time in the shop simultaneously?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why should n't I make use of those years, develop a business in which I can engage while I'm here?
nyp.33433076079387	Why should n't you?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why, then, had some ignorant negro or some white man bent on robbery been permitted to steal up on her in the dead of night and crush out her life?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?
nyp.33433076079387	Why?"
nyp.33433076079387	Why?"
nyp.33433076079387	Will that answer?"
nyp.33433076079387	Will you clean Miss Fulton's finger nails as soon as you can?
nyp.33433076079387	Will you do that for me carefully — very carefully?
nyp.33433076079387	Will you give us a straight story?"
nyp.33433076079387	Withers?"
nyp.33433076079387	Withers?"
nyp.33433076079387	Withers?"
nyp.33433076079387	Work with him?"
nyp.33433076079387	Would Braceway try to pick up a false scent, try to throw the whole thing out of gear?
nyp.33433076079387	Would n't it be well for him to stay in Furm- ville another twenty- four hours?
nyp.33433076079387	Would n't you say so?'"
nyp.33433076079387	You might sign it?

nyp.33433112010172	How did he happen to come back? ” “ Wall, it was this way, ” said Tooker, avoiding his wife ’s eye.
nyp.33433112010172	How else could he have gotten there? ” Lem Davis tilted his cap over one car as he scratched his head.
nyp.33433112010172	How far have you got?
nyp.33433112010172	How much money have yez made by sthalin ’?
nyp.33433112010172	How would his unexpected appearance be re- ceived?
nyp.33433112010172	How would they explain their expression of a Mona Lisa and reconcile the pool of darkened crimson with the quiet of the peacefully folded hands?
nyp.33433112010172	I came down here expecting to have a peaceful week- end and who do you think turned up on the train?
nyp.33433112010172	I may bring Miss Wentworth over to lunch; will it be all right?
nyp.33433112010172	I still think he crossed to Connecticut in the morning. ” “ Where ’d he stay over night? ” asked Peter.
nyp.33433112010172	I ’ m hungry as a bear. ” “ What, ai n’t you had no supper?
nyp.33433112010172	If he was anxious not to attract atten- tion, what would he do?
nyp.33433112010172	If she did, what did it matter?
nyp.33433112010172	In what conceivable circumstances could an honest, innocent girl have come into possession of such a combination of evidence?
nyp.33433112010172	Is Miss Wentworth there?
nyp.33433112010172	Is he still here?
nyp.33433112010172	Is it an impossible thing I am asking?
nyp.33433112010172	Is she there?
nyp.33433112010172	Is that you, Jimmie?
nyp.33433112010172	It felt as if the last time had been for the funeral of “ poor John four years ago, come July, ” or was it June?
nyp.33433112010172	It makes up here. ” “ Any place near the station where I can get some- thing to eat?
nyp.33433112010172	It seems like a nightmare!-—Will you take care of them for me?
nyp.33433112010172	It seems she used to cook for wan o ’ the ladies befoore she got to be a nun. ” 240 The Unlatched Door I “ Sarah Connors got to be a nun, Mike?
nyp.33433112010172	It was the sort one does not forget and he was sure he had seen it before and been startled by its beauty; but where?
nyp.33433112010172	Mebbe it was June — ” Dick ’s patience was sorely tried, but he prompted pleasantly, “ And she lives —?
nyp.33433112010172	Might send us off on a new tack altogether; who knows?
nyp.33433112010172	Mr. Quartley felt that you were safe here?
nyp.33433112010172	Mrs. Rutledge left too many valuable things lying about and I was responsi- ble. ” “ How did it occur, then, that you engaged her after all?
nyp.33433112010172	Need I be mixed up in it?
nyp.33433112010172	No sound about the house?
nyp.33433112010172	No trouble about my getting in and out with- out being seen, is there?
nyp.33433112010172	Now, do you know anything about the trains in from Seaport?
nyp.33433112010172	Now, was it July?
nyp.33433112010172	Now, what about the ‘ eleven- thirty ’?
nyp.33433112010172	Now, what do you make out of this Pendle- ton business?
nyp.33433112010172	Now, what have you to say for yourself?
nyp.33433112010172	Now, where was he all that time? ”\ Miss Dalton ’s head, with its heavy crown of light brown hair, was bent low.
nyp.33433112010172	Oh, and why all the rest?
nyp.33433112010172	One gets into all sorts of trouble if one does n’t look ahead, do n’t you know?
nyp.33433112010172	Pretty rough experience you had, was n’t it?
nyp.33433112010172	Quite sure you ’re all right?
nyp.33433112010172	Rutledge?"
nyp.33433112010172	Rutledge?"
nyp.33433112010172	Say, kid, where does Lem Davis hang out when he ’s at home?
nyp.33433112010172	Seems funny, do n’t it? ” “ Yes, it ’s a queer start, any way you look at it.
nyp.33433112010172	Shall I call a cab, sir?
nyp.33433112010172	Shall I move up?
nyp.33433112010172	Shall I tell her to call you?
nyp.33433112010172	She ’s not likely to be going out?
nyp.33433112010172	Some class to her friends, eh, what? ” Richard expressed his astonishment.
nyp.33433112010172	Something that I hope you ’ll be glad to tell us. ” “ You‘belong to the police? ” she asked a little faintly.
nyp.33433112010172	Suddenly his face cleared?
nyp.33433112010172	Tell the cook to get me some breakfast in a hurry — any- thing will do — and pack a bag for “ me, will you?
nyp.33433112010172	That seems to let him out of any mix- up with the murder, do n’t it?
nyp.33433112010172	That ’s the only thing about this job that I do n’t like. ” “ But you ’re happier even at that, are n’t you, Maybelle?
nyp.33433112010172	The man who wore ’em knows all about the crime or I ’ m a ‘ Chink. ’ ” “ You feel sure about that, Captain, do n’t you?
nyp.33433112010172	The police are- likely to search the servants ’ rooms, are they not?
nyp.33433112010172	The sounds in the street would drown anything except a very loud noise. ” “ And last night you Slept soundly?
nyp.33433112010172	Then he said, shortly, “ Well, anything more? ” “ No, ” answered O’Malley, smiling.
nyp.33433112010172	Then he spoke abruptly: “ Was it a private car or a public taxi you used, Miss Dalton?
nyp.33433112010172	Then, turning his back on the glory of the spring sunshine, “ Will you come here, Miss?
nyp.33433112010172	Then, with momentarily recovered hope, “ Where are you going, Billy?
nyp.33433112010172	There ’s no entrance at the back?
nyp.33433112010172	Want to come and help? ” Anne Wallace stood beside the gleaming break- fast- table, drawing on a pair of heavy gauntlet gloves.
nyp.33433112010172	Was be mistaken, or was there an entire change in the girl ’s accent as she spoke over the wire?
nyp.33433112010172	Was his un- wonted garrulity a blind and this opportunity a trap?
nyp.33433112010172	Was it to be his affair after all?
nyp.33433112010172	Was n’t she pleased with it? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433112010172	We ’re a long way from a lemon here and — ” “ Do n’t you think a car might come along pretty soon and pick us up?
nyp.33433112010172	What about it? ” Peter looked his relief.
nyp.33433112010172	What are you do- ing about following up the cook? ” His tone was severe and O’Malley was on the defensive at once.
nyp.33433112010172	What are you doing here?
nyp.33433112010172	What do you think, Captain?
nyp.33433112010172	What do you think, Pete?
nyp.33433112010172	What do you think, Pete? ” “ The e ’s are peculiar and they ’re made the same in both.
nyp.33433112010172	What do you want me to do?
nyp.33433112010172	What good would it do?
nyp.33433112010172	What had happened, what was still to hap- pen behind that conventional mask?
nyp.33433112010172	What have you got on your chest, anyway? ” said O’Malley, curi- ously, seating himself at his desk.
nyp.33433112010172	What is it, Captain? ” “ My patents are allowed at last, Pete! ” “ You do n’t mean it!
nyp.33433112010172	What is it?
nyp.33433112010172	What is it?
nyp.33433112010172	What is it? ” “ Hello.

nyp.33433112010172	What strange, fate- ful story would those lips tell if they could speak?

nyp.33433112010172	What was it she said the other day?
nyp.33433112010172	What was to prevent his sending it by a Pullman porter or somebody to be mailed in town?
nyp.33433112010172	What ’s he been doin’, anyway?
nyp.33433112010172	What ’s the matter, and where are you?
nyp.33433112010172	When did you get up this morning, anyway? ” “ I did n’t, ” answered Peter, unabashed.
nyp.33433112010172	Where did you find it, lad?
nyp.33433112010172	Where the hell do you think you he going?
nyp.33433112010172	Where was she and what was she doing; and why had she been thus cavalierly abandoned on the lonely coun- try road?
nyp.33433112010172	Where you been keepin ’ yourself all this while?

nyp.33433112010172	Who ’s on the wire? ” Dick spoke into the telephone: “ Will you tell me who this is, please?
nyp.33433112010172	Why had n’t he thought of it before?
nyp.33433112010172	Why not take a night Peter Clancy Takes a Night Of 24.9 Off?
nyp.33433112010172	Why was that?

nyp.33433112010172	You do n’t know anything about her, do you, Mr. Schuyler? ” “ What do you take me for, Peter? ” said Dick, sharply.
nyp.33433112010172	You have seen nothing since you have been here to worry or dis- turb you?
nyp.33433112010172	You in charge here?
nyp.33433112010172	You know I was horribly jealous of him for a while. ” “ Were you?

nyp.33433112010172	“ Ai n’t you the joker, Pete?
nyp.33433112010172	“ All right, Dickie? ” “ Yes, yes.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Am I going mad? ” he muttered, sheltering the ephemeral flame with his hand, seized by a sudden gripping, unaccustomed fear of the dark.

nyp.33433112010172	“ And the girl, Nora? ” O’Malley asked.
nyp.33433112010172	“ And the other lady?
nyp.33433112010172	“ And the young girl, Nora?
nyp.33433112010172	“ And when he came back the second time what did he do?
nyp.33433112010172	“ And you do n’t know where she ’s gone, further than that? ” he asked in conclusion.
nyp.33433112010172	“ And you, are you safe?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Any notion how long I ’ll be kept here, Peter?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Anything more I can do for you?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Are they still here?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Been here long?
nyp.33433112010172	“ But why now? ” asked Dick, gently.
nyp.33433112010172	“ By the way, Mr. Schuyler, how ’s Bill panning out? ” asked Clancy as Dick started for the library.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Can you assure me that the papers wo n’t get hold of it?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Can you come here for a moment? ” the girl called softly.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Can you tell me where I can find him?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Did that come from a shoe made by you? ” he asked quietly.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Did you pick it up at Guiseppe ’s?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Do I understand that you are not Mr. Rut- ledge? ” said the officer, in a deep, somewhat husky voice.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Do You Mind If I Close the Door? ” 183 He took the packet from her unresisting hand, and, cutting the cords, laid it in her lap.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Do n’t look much alike, do they? ” said O’Malley, after a tense pause.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Except? ” asked O’Malley, quiet but insistent.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Has anything happened amiss?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Has he really left here? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Have n’t you really?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Her husband, do you suppose?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Her? ” he said.

nyp.33433112010172	“ How do you suppose there ever came to be a gate here? ” asked O’Malley."
nyp.33433112010172	“ How long had you known Pendleton, or Smith, if that ’s what he called himself? ” asked Peter.
nyp.33433112010172	“ How well did you know these people? ” asked the Officer, looking at him sharply.
nyp.33433112010172	“ I only said ‘ sup- posing. ’ ” CHAPTER XXVI AN ALIEI?
nyp.33433112010172	“ I see no harm, then, in telling you that Irene Clairmont was one of the party. ” “ The actress? ” H Yes."
nyp.33433112010172	“ I suppose you did n’t get anything more out of her before she left?
nyp.33433112010172	“ I think we would, indeed, ” she said smiling; “ but what about your darling little car?
nyp.33433112010172	“ If Pendleton ’s there, why do you think the card has his name on it, Pete?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Is it necessary to give their names?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Is n’t it the limit:'”~ “ You admit that they ’re yours, then? ” ques- tioned O’Malley, Sharply.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Is n’t that worth com- ing a bit out of the way for? ” “ Oh! ” breathed Nora; “ it ’s wonderful!
nyp.33433112010172	“ Is the captain there?
nyp.33433112010172	“ It ’s awfully nice and quiet, somehow, though, ” A ” Alibi?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Look here, Billy, ” he said, “ what time last night did you see him?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Many more strangers in town? ” Dick ’s tone did not betray his anxiety.
nyp.33433112010172	“ May I see you alone for a minute? ” he con- tinued, almost without a pause.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Miss Wentworth, ” he exclaimed softly, “ what has happened?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Mr. Hobson, ” he said, “ may I speak with you a moment?
nyp.33433112010172	“ NO, Sir. ” “ Mr. Rutledge was here at that time, then?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Nice little practical idea of yours, was n’t it?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Now, Nora, ” said O’Malley, “ just what time was it when you came down- stairs?——do you re- member?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Now, may I please go home?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Now, what do you think of that? ” muttered Dick, under his breath.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Now, young woman, what is your name?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Of course I ’ve read about it in the papers. ” Was there a hint of hostility in the clear, vibra'nt voice?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Oh, how much longer must we leave her 4.6 The Unlatched Door there?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Only very slightly, hardly more than a bowing acquaintance. ” “ And you ’ ve never been in the house before?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Pretty little thing, was n’t she? ” he hazarded, casually.

nyp.33433112010172	“ Say, Pete, what do you think? ” The old man was fairly hugging himself with pleasure.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Shall I go and get him? ” “ Wait a minute, boy.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Shall I read it to you, old dear?
nyp.33433112010172	“ She treated you fine, did n’t she?
nyp.33433112010172	“ So it was you makin ’ all that noise, was it?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Some enamored chorus girl been sending me flowers?

nyp.33433112010172	“ They told me there was no way out at the back. ” “ Who told you that?
nyp.33433112010172	“ This is Mr. Ralph Tooker, is n’t it? ” “ I swan, you ’re right there!
nyp.33433112010172	“ This meeting was not accidental, as you would have had it appear; was it, Mr. Schuyler?

nyp.33433112010172	“ Well, ” he said sharply, “ do n’t they know the name of the people he ’s stopping with or the town he went to?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Were you right, my lad?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What could there be to alarm me in this little out- of- the- world place?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What did he do then? ” “ I offered to take him back to the station free of charge.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What differ does that make?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What do you think, Fox? ” asked O’Malley, turning to him.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What has happened?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What is it, that it is, that is that, as the French say? ” questioned Nora, her eyes crinkling at the corners.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What is it?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What kind does she like best? ” “ Oh, novels and such trash.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What kind of an hour is this for you to be blowing in?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What the devil do you mean, calling me out of bed at this hour of the morning? ” “ You ’re lazy, Jimmie.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What the devil is this?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What was that you said, Billy?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What ’s become of the other servants? ” Dick asked in a matter- of- fact manner.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What ’s eatin ’ you, Chief?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What ’s the great idea?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What ’s the trouble? ” He followed her into the little parlor, where she sank heavily down on a spindly chair which creaked under her weight.
nyp.33433112010172	“ What( 1 ’ you mean, you did n’t?
nyp.33433112010172	“ What? ” he asked, with a start of surprise.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Where d ’ you suppose your man got to? ” “ Well, ” answered Fox slowly, “ put yourself in his place.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Where ’ ve you been, Cutie?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Where ’d you find her, Mike? ” he asked curi- ously.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Who Dinea'with Mrs. Rutledge? ” 35 “ Not there?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Who Dinea'with Mrs. Rutledge? ” 35 “ Not there?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Who sent it?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Who ’s there?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Why do you call me that?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Why was n’t he on the job last Thursday night?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Whydid n’t you come across with the dope at once? ” Peter asked when they were out of ear- shot.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Wo n’t you come in, Mr. Schuyler?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Wo n’t you sit down? ” She sank into a low chair beside a table as she spoke and leaned her head on her hand.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Wo n’t you sit here? ” she said.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Would you like me to attend to these things for you?
nyp.33433112010172	“ Would you like to go out to Tuxedo to stay? ” he continued.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Would you mind telling me where you got this? ” he said and turned it slowly over in his hands.
nyp.33433112010172	“ Yes. — Nine- one three- two?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You knew her?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You might call him that, yes. ’, “ What kind of a man is he?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You must see that it ’s important, ” urged An Alibi?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You said that the discovery of this might be serious to you?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You sent me out to watch the girl, did n’t you?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You wished to see me?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You — you have n’t lost it?
nyp.33433112010172	“ You ’ll tell me — honest Injun?

nyp.33433112010172	” O’Malley replied with a counter question: “ How many were there in the party?
nyp.33433112010172	” he asked, point- ing to a large photograph in an ornate silver frame?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Are you sure you want to know the secrets of my horrible past?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Did you know the gentleman?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Do You Mind If I Close the Door?"
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Have n’t you, Captain? ” cried Peter, eagerly, a new light coming into his face.
nyp.33433112010172	” “ I ca n’t know for certain. ” “ Did Mrs. Rutledge have a personal maid?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ It must have been a few minutes after eight. ” “ Was the door locked?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ It ’s too bad, Dickie, but you ’ 11 come back soon, wo n’t you?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Never mind, Mike, so long as you got there with both ‘ fate. ’ But where had she been hanging out?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ No, sir. ” ” Who Dinea'with Mrs. Rutledge? ” 4.5 “ Who dined with Mrs. Rutledge, Nora?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ No, sir. ” ” Who Dinea'with Mrs. Rutledge? ” 4.5 “ Who dined with Mrs. Rutledge, Nora?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Right after dinner. ” “ Did she dine alone?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ She did have, but she discharged her a few days ago. ” “ Had trouble with her?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Somebody ’s nose out of joint?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ The inside door was locked, but the vestibule door was open. ” “ Was that customary?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ They went out together. ” “ But you do n’t know whether he took her to the theater and brought her home?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ To the theater, I think. ” “ At what time did she go?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ What boat? ” asked Peter, keeping down his excitement with difficulty.
nyp.33433112010172	” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Did you act as maid for Mrs. Rutledge last night?
nyp.33433112010172	” “ You ’ll promise to refuse if you think I am ask- ing something that you should n’t do?

nyp.33433076054695	'Night! ” As they trudged back toward the sheriff's home Odell asked: “ Has Worm got any relatives?
nyp.33433076054695	- “ How should I know, sir?
nyp.33433076054695	-“You’d know if she was used to taking drugs, would n't you?

nyp.33433076054695	252 THE MAN IN THE JURY BOX But by whom?
nyp.33433076054695	310 THE MAN IN THE JURY BOX “ Then when Mr. Latimer married me he thought that he was free? ” she cried.
nyp.33433076054695	After six years'experience on the biggest criminal cases in the annals of the New York police department, was he becoming impressionable?
nyp.33433076054695	Agnew have you ever quarreled with Mr. Lat- imer? ” The other started at the question and then his mo- bile lips set in a firm line.
nyp.33433076054695	Agnew, will you tell us, please, who the person is to whom you referred just now on entering?
nyp.33433076054695	Am I right? ” The coroner nodded.
nyp.33433076054695	Are you making any progress that you can disclose unofficially?
nyp.33433076054695	At a club, or a hotel, or with some friends? ” A faint flush crept up over her colorless face.

nyp.33433076054695	But I ’d be grateful for that month's leave of absence, just the same. ” “ What's the matter? ” asked the chief coldly.
nyp.33433076054695	But in town they did, now and again. ” “ Did they go out frequently? ” Odell persisted.
nyp.33433076054695	But then, what is the brown stain on it? ” “ That's what gets me, ” Odell admitted frankly.
nyp.33433076054695	But what do you s'pose he was hit with?
nyp.33433076054695	But what instrument could have been so used?

nyp.33433076054695	Come in and shut the door; it's beastly cold again, is n't it?
nyp.33433076054695	Could Vorn have been the central figure in that?
nyp.33433076054695	Could he be putting up a supreme bluff?
nyp.33433076054695	Could it be other than Starr Agnew?
nyp.33433076054695	Could n't it have been any other woman in the household wearing her fur cloak? ” Bangs shook his head decisively.
nyp.33433076054695	Could that be the south pasture of which Henry Eaves had spoken?
nyp.33433076054695	Could there have been bad blood between Latimer and himself?
nyp.33433076054695	Could you expect any jury who thought me sane to believe it? ” “ Yes, ” Odell responded promptly.
nyp.33433076054695	Did any of the servants know more than they had told?
nyp.33433076054695	Did he fall and strike his head on the ice —? ” “ No, ma'am, ” the constable replied bluntly.
nyp.33433076054695	Did he have any partners? ” “ Of course!
nyp.33433076054695	Did n't he mention it to you? ” “ If he did, I did not hear him. ” Chris's small eyes narrowed to a mere slit.
nyp.33433076054695	Did n't you See anyone who might have rec- ognized or would recall you?
nyp.33433076054695	Did she give me a direct answer when I put it to her straight if she knew of anyone who might want him out of the way?
nyp.33433076054695	Did she have just a furnished apartment here, then, that she could get away as quick and easy as all that? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	Did you ever see this before? ” The cor- oner held up the electric torch.
nyp.33433076054695	Did you hear any of it?
nyp.33433076054695	Did you see anybody sneaking around down there? ” The girl averted her eyes from his gaze.
nyp.33433076054695	Did you speak to him or touch him? ” “ No,'m.
nyp.33433076054695	Do I not my own things know?
nyp.33433076054695	Do n't have him gab- bing around — ” “ But what is it? ” Mrs. Latimer interrupted, her gaze returning as though fascinated to the body.
nyp.33433076054695	Do you know anything about Mr. Lat- imer prior to your meeting in England in nineteen- six- teen, Mr. Agnew'? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	Do you know the name of a steel tool about eighteen inches long with octagonal sides three- quarters of an inch thick or so?
nyp.33433076054695	Do you realize that that delicate, gently reared little woman, after a year of suffering and a week of stark horror, is in jail?
nyp.33433076054695	Do you realize, Ben, that we are going to trial with the weakest case for the defense on record?
nyp.33433076054695	Do you s'pose he was knocked on the head somewhere else and carried here? ” Sergeant Odell shook his head.
nyp.33433076054695	Do you want me to go back with you?
nyp.33433076054695	Does this rattler stop at every telegraph pole on the way in? ” “ Thanks. ” Jim accepted the match and looked up with a brisk eye to business.
nyp.33433076054695	Glancing at it the older man saw: “ Why Bangs blackmailer? ” “ Maggie, just now you spoke of Bangs as a black- mailer.
nyp.33433076054695	Got any clue to the real murderer? ” Odell laughed frankly.
nyp.33433076054695	Had Farwell tried to tip him off about something without himself being dragged into the notoriety of the case as a witness?
nyp.33433076054695	Had he by some lucky chance hit upon the truth?
nyp.33433076054695	Had he come as a principal or as eavesdropper, and whose hand had struck him down?
nyp.33433076054695	Had he taken the eight- fifty back to town, or skulked behind the other those two bleak miles to Willow Brook and done him to death there by the pond?
nyp.33433076054695	Hard? ” asked Odell as the car swung them out of the little town and through the muddy gray slush of the countryside.
nyp.33433076054695	Has Mr. Latimer brought suit against anyone for any cause whatso- ever?
nyp.33433076054695	Has he called upon the law to protect him in any way? ” Mr. Crewe's face reddened with offended dignity.
nyp.33433076054695	Have you any evidence, even cir- 202 THE MAN IN THE JURY BOX cumstantial, against him except his refusal to an- swer questions?
nyp.33433076054695	He has n't been robbed, for there's his stick- pin — ” He halted suddenly, and Constable Price observed: “ So the'phone's been put in?
nyp.33433076054695	He mentioned a sister of his; did you ever see her? ” “ I never met her, but she has been down once or twice to see him.
nyp.33433076054695	He never kicked, did he? ” The man eyed him suspiciously.
nyp.33433076054695	His little girl told me that she and her father lived alone mostly. ” “ ‘ Mostly? ’ ” Pettingill echoed.
nyp.33433076054695	How can we judge what enemies he may have had?
nyp.33433076054695	How come you- all ai n’t grab de murd’rer? ” “ Give us a little time! ” Odell smiled good naturedly.
nyp.33433076054695	How d'you s'pose he got back here, and what happened to him?
nyp.33433076054695	How did he know —? ” “ Oh, I rather guess he suspected you'd be hanging around this morning, ” the other interrupted.
nyp.33433076054695	How did he seem? ” the sheriff asked impatiently.
nyp.33433076054695	How many do the Latimers employ'round the place, inside and out? ” “ Well, there's me and Henry and Bangs, the butler; that's three.
nyp.33433076054695	How ’d he get back here?
nyp.33433076054695	How ’d it happen? ” “ We do n’t know yet, ” Odell replied frankly.
nyp.33433076054695	I did, and I found I was dead wrong in what I told you fel- lows yesterday.—Going up street?
nyp.33433076054695	I do n’t suppose you saw him pass by on his way home? ” The fat man nodded again in naive triumph.
nyp.33433076054695	I had three deputies looking for you! ” “ I was on hand when the coroner wanted me again, was n't I? ” laughed Odell.
nyp.33433076054695	I have n't spoken plainly before, but do you know what people are saying, what the district attorney is building his case upon?
nyp.33433076054695	I have not been to either since. ” “ Are you sure? ” Odell returned his gaze steadily.
nyp.33433076054695	I have not. ” “ Is this it? ” Dr. Hale held out the blue- covered sheaf of papers and the other started forward.
nyp.33433076054695	I heard Bangs and Maggie having an argument about it. ” “ Did you know that Mr. Latimer started for the city last evening? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	I mean, did he ever hurt any- body? ” “ N – no, sir, not that I know of, but he looked almost as though he could! ” she stammered.
nyp.33433076054695	I merely wish to assure myself that a certain document has not been lost. ” “ Or stolen? ” Odell interposed quietly.
nyp.33433076054695	I seen enuff from mah kitchen to know dat he wasn ’ fitten to wipe her shoes. ” “ Do you mean that Mrs. Latimer was unhappy?
nyp.33433076054695	I served dinner at seven, and right afterwards he sent ATA QUARTER PAST NINE 25 “ You told Mrs. Latimer of the message this morn- ing?
nyp.33433076054695	I take it that you have n’t had much success along that line? ” The sheriff bit savagely into his unlighted cigar, and his lean face flushed.
nyp.33433076054695	I take it you're a friend of the family; any objections to an- swering a few questions? ” Mr. Agnew advanced with a slight smile.
nyp.33433076054695	I took care of the house and her, too, after that. ” “ How long has Mrs. Latimer lived in New York? ” “ Only since her marriage.
nyp.33433076054695	I wanted to bring him along, but I could n’t find him anywhere. ” “ You mean that police fellow? ” Sam grinned.
nyp.33433076054695	I went back then to the tool- house. ” “ Did you take the three implements with you? ” Henry hesitated.
nyp.33433076054695	I — I do n’t want to spend another night in this house! ” “ Did anything else happen last night? ” “ I do n’t know, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	I ’ve been hearing all about it from the district attorney. ” “ How are you, Doctor? ” Odell shook the out- stretched hand.
nyp.33433076054695	I ’ve been with Mrs. Latimer for sixteen years. ” “ Who was she before she was married?
nyp.33433076054695	I've been knocking around from one job to another for the last twenty odd years. ” “ Why did you come to see your brother now? ”.
nyp.33433076054695	I've known them to spring some surprises in my time, and I guess you have, too, eh, Barry? ” Odell nodded.
nyp.33433076054695	If anything more occurs to you that might help, you'll let me know, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076054695	If neither you nor your brother killed Latimer, do you know who did?
nyp.33433076054695	If she was n't, why could n't that butler make her hear when he pounded on her door?
nyp.33433076054695	If you're not in an imperative hurry may I walk along with you?
nyp.33433076054695	In what way? ” “ How would any pussyfoot butler be useful that knew how to mix drinks? ” she sniffed.
nyp.33433076054695	In what way? ” “ How would any pussyfoot butler be useful that knew how to mix drinks? ” she sniffed.
nyp.33433076054695	Is it true? ” The sheriff nodded.
nyp.33433076054695	Is somebody sick?
nyp.33433076054695	Is the brook as deep as that there? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054695	Is there anything I can do? ” Mrs. Latimer shook her head dumbly and wrenched her eyes away from her husband's stark form.
nyp.33433076054695	Is there no possibility that he fell and injured himself? ” “ None, ma'am, ” the sheriff asserted gravely.
nyp.33433076054695	It was against our rules, but he fixed it up through one of the directors. ” “ Were the checks all made out to the same person?
nyp.33433076054695	It ’s a good two miles, is n't it? ” “ Maybe a little more, ” the sheriff replied reflectively.
nyp.33433076054695	Latimer does n't even know that the coat was torn and that tell- tale bit of evidence left behind; why forewarn her?
nyp.33433076054695	Latimer is away — ” “ What is it, Bangs? ” A clear, flute- like voice sounded from the rear of the hall, and a young woman came forward.
nyp.33433076054695	Latimer was a manufacturer, was n’t he? ” “ Yes, sir, of airplanes.
nyp.33433076054695	Latimer was planning to breed and raise Jer- seys, sir. ” “ Did n't he have a man to take care of them? ” the sheriff demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	Latimer, do you identify this? ” Instinctively she extended her hands toward it and then drew back, moistening her lips with the tip of her tongue.
nyp.33433076054695	Latimer, wo n't you trust me? ” Odell pleaded, ignoring her futile question.
nyp.33433076054695	Lefferts and Crewe, she said, did n't she? ” 56 THE MAN IN THE JURY BOX The sheriff motioned toward the telephone.
nyp.33433076054695	May I ask if she is Miss Doris Agnew'? ” “ Yes! ” There was surprise and a shade of reserve in the younger man's tones.
nyp.33433076054695	May I ask if you have discovered it? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	On what occasion? ” “ When he ordered me off his land not a month ago!
nyp.33433076054695	Plenty peoples, they see me; by the back road I go, both ways. ” “ You went in the afternoon? ” “ Late, yes.
nyp.33433076054695	Raised ducks, did n’t he? ”- Odell nodded.
nyp.33433076054695	SUN HSU DECIDES 207 “ Does a gentleman named Mr. Sun Hsu live here? ” he demanded of the switchboard attendant.
nyp.33433076054695	She is a very striking looking woman. ” The coroner paused in his turn and then con- tinued: “ Did he have any theory to advance about the murder?
nyp.33433076054695	She sent me back to the kitchen, and Virgie was going on so that I got to crying, too! — Please, can I go to my sister's in town?
nyp.33433076054695	She should n't be left alone for a minute! ” “ What's your last name? ” He cut short her flow of protestation.
nyp.33433076054695	She tried to explain one of them herself, do you remember?
nyp.33433076054695	So the case is settled, is it? ” Odell laughed.
nyp.33433076054695	Something must have leaked out to make this crank think we were going to TO PROTECT HER 181 “ How are your hours?
nyp.33433076054695	Still, could the sheriff be right, after all?
nyp.33433076054695	Straight across the lawn or on the drive? ” “ Why, I scarcely remember! ” She paused.
nyp.33433076054695	Suppose she wanted her freedom for a fresh start that she'd maybe passed up before or did n't realize until it was too late?
nyp.33433076054695	THE MAN AT THE STATION 69 “ Do n’t you remember anything about him at all? ” The baggage man spat contemplatively.
nyp.33433076054695	That Mr. Latimer ill- treated her? ” Odell spoke hur- riedly, for he heard the sheriff's returning footsteps.
nyp.33433076054695	That was the last time. ”- “ You knew that he started for the station again later? ” f “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054695	That's the talk that's gone around, any- way. ” “ What was Latimer ’s business? ” asked Odell.
nyp.33433076054695	The last I saw of either of them they were talking together. ” “ What did the man look like?
nyp.33433076054695	The officer on the beat —? ” Agnew shook his head, while the two lawyers gazed at him in surprise and disapproval.
nyp.33433076054695	The sheriff shot a meaning glance at his young friend and then asked: “ Do you turn him loose at night? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054695	The sheriff uttered a surprised exclamation under his breath, but Odell asked quietly: “ There is something you want to tell us?
nyp.33433076054695	The whole country's here a'ready, and more a- coming! ” “ Has the Latimer lawyer returned yet this morn- ing? ” the sheriff asked.
nyp.33433076054695	The woman in the Wanderlyn apart- ment house on Riverside Drive?
nyp.33433076054695	Then, turning once more to her visitor, she added: “ Wo n't you come into the library and warm yourself?
nyp.33433076054695	There were two the other way, too, but no- body got off. ” “ And after eight? ” Hiram removed his cap and scratched his head reflectively.
nyp.33433076054695	There's no way Latimer could have done that to himself — Who's this? ” An angular, middle- aged woman had thrust herself through the willows.
nyp.33433076054695	Thieves?
nyp.33433076054695	Toward the pond? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	Under what pretext could he examine it?
nyp.33433076054695	Was he also a trifle mad?
nyp.33433076054695	Was he, Odell, still laboring against his better judgment?
nyp.33433076054695	Was n't any foul play about Latimer's death, was there?
nyp.33433076054695	We talked late, and the upshot of it was that I spent the night there with him. ” “ Where is the right wing?
nyp.33433076054695	We'd better have a talk with him ourselves later, but first I want to see if we ca n’t open the bag.—Do you see this?
nyp.33433076054695	Well, we've seen that sort of thing right here in our own town, eh, Sergeant?
nyp.33433076054695	Were you at the inquest yesterday, How- ard? ” The middle- aged man coughed deprecatingly.
nyp.33433076054695	Were you here after eight o'clock last night? ”- “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	What did she say? ” “ I told Maggie, but she declared that Mrs. Latimer had gone straight to her room and to bed! ” Bangs sniffed.
nyp.33433076054695	What did you mean by that? ” “ Because that's what he was, or tried to be, sir! ” Maggie responded.
nyp.33433076054695	What for you come here, anyway? ” “ But it is yours, Daddy! ” the little girl insisted, rescuing it before it reached Odell's hand.
nyp.33433076054695	What had become of the other man with whom Lat- imer had talked at the station?
nyp.33433076054695	What have you got there? ” For Odell had stooped and was examining in the rays from the lamps a shapeless red object which he held in his hands.
nyp.33433076054695	What if he'd never intended to go to the city at all?
nyp.33433076054695	What is it to you that you bring here that dirty mitten?
nyp.33433076054695	What makes you think he did it, Blair?
nyp.33433076054695	What name, sir? ” “ Just say, please, that a special agent has come up from Sunnymead, Long Island, to see him. ”.
nyp.33433076054695	What reason could there be?
nyp.33433076054695	What rendezvous had he kept there by the frozen expanse of that lonely pond?
nyp.33433076054695	What were you doing there by the pond? ” “ Looking for something, Mr. Agnew.
nyp.33433076054695	What's he been doing? ” Hiram demanded in his turn.
nyp.33433076054695	What's the trouble? ” “ I do n’t know as there's any. ” She hesitated.
nyp.33433076054695	When he was closeted with his chief the latter demanded: “ What luck, Barry?
nyp.33433076054695	Where does she come from? ” “ She was Miss Margery Fairfield, of Fairfield Harbor, Massachusetts, ” Maggie replied loftily.
nyp.33433076054695	Where's Barry Odell? ” “ The last I saw of him he was going up that way, where the brook turns by the holly trees, ” the con- stable replied.
nyp.33433076054695	Who could have wished him out of the way?
nyp.33433076054695	Who could that some- body else be?
nyp.33433076054695	Who do you s'pose killed him?
nyp.33433076054695	Who do you suppose killed him, anyway? ” “ I hope they find out before the bungalow season opens! ” the stout, red- haired man declared.
nyp.33433076054695	Who done kill Mistuh Lat’mer? ” “ You are Virgie, the cook? ” asked Odell.
nyp.33433076054695	Who done kill Mistuh Lat’mer? ” “ You are Virgie, the cook? ” asked Odell.
nyp.33433076054695	Who killed Latimer? ” “ I do not know, so help me God!
nyp.33433076054695	Who was this man Farwell?
nyp.33433076054695	Why did n't the fool look at her clock?
nyp.33433076054695	Why should he not want to see us, to pay us a visit? ” The coroner paid no heed to the impertinence of the retort.
nyp.33433076054695	Why was he trying to find flaws in the suppositions which filled his thoughts even before they assumed the proportions of an actual theory?
nyp.33433076054695	Why would I offer a reward if I were myself guilty? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433076054695	Why?
nyp.33433076054695	Why? ” the other asked coolly.
nyp.33433076054695	Will the company con- tinue their building operations now? ” “ Oh, you mean that reinforced concrete work?
nyp.33433076054695	Will the company con- tinue their building operations now? ” “ Oh, you mean that reinforced concrete work?
nyp.33433076054695	Would the ruse upon which he had staked so much fail him now?
nyp.33433076054695	Y. L;-- 68 THE MAN IN THE JURY BOX The car went kiting away and left Mr. Latimer on the platform. ” “ Did he say anything to you?
nyp.33433076054695	You Rnow yourself that there's precious little doing around at night, especially in winter. ” His face reddened and he added avidly: “ Why?
nyp.33433076054695	You a stranger in Sunnymead?
nyp.33433076054695	You are sure that the lining is not loose? ” Sheriff Pettingill ignored the question.
nyp.33433076054695	You can do so, I suppose, if it becomes absolutely necessary?
nyp.33433076054695	You can man- age that, ca n’t you, Chief? ” “ I suppose so! ” grunted the other.
nyp.33433076054695	You do n’t think he is double- crossing us?
nyp.33433076054695	You got back from town that night on the same train with a man named Kingsley, did n’t you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076054695	You know New England, then? ” “ Yes, I ’ve toured up along the coast more than once, sketching, you know, with some painter friends of mine.
nyp.33433076054695	You know the young man from the city who is visiting me?
nyp.33433076054695	You saw or heard something from your windows last night? ” She nodded and her color deepened.
nyp.33433076054695	You spoke of Mr. Latimer's death; did you learn that he had been murdered? ” “ Not positively.
nyp.33433076054695	You still made no attempt to act? ” The contemptuous incredulity in the coroner's tones stung Vorn, and he retorted: “ Yes, I did!
nyp.33433076054695	You waited in vain, obviously; but is n't there some way you could prove your presence there?
nyp.33433076054695	You were n’t there? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	You've an old country saying about ‘ getting the mitten,'have n't you?
nyp.33433076054695	ing your house? ” “ No! ” Chris snarled.
nyp.33433076054695	what has done come to dis yere house?
nyp.33433076054695	— Here, where're you go- ing? ”* “ I wo n't be in just yet, if you do n't mind, ” he smiled.
nyp.33433076054695	“ A few months in a dry, arid climate or a few weeks in a cell; what does it matter?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Ai n’t I been telling you, sir? ” Vorn spoke now with patient reproach.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Ai n’t I seen her jest er- fadin ” ever sence I come?
nyp.33433076054695	“ And for why?
nyp.33433076054695	“ And lay your trump card on the table at this time? ” He took the moleskin coat and the fragment of fur from the hands of the excited official.
nyp.33433076054695	“ And now, Your Honor, may I be excused?
nyp.33433076054695	“ And why not, pray? ” Maggie held her head high, but a dull flush mouzited in her cheeks.
nyp.33433076054695	“ And you were willing to sail in on your own, in a private capacity, and prove it?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Are n't you coming to see?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Are you sure it must have been her?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Bangs, is Sidney or Henry in the house? ”.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Barry, did you have a suspicion of the truth about the Worns when you went this morning? ” the sheriff demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ But first are you positive that my husband was — was killed?
nyp.33433076054695	“ But you said you wanted to speak to me; got any theory to spring, Mr. Farwell?
nyp.33433076054695	“ C'm on an ’ see him! ” “ Whatever are you talking about? ” Mrs. Vail put down the pail.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Can you recall a fourth? ” The other shook his head and his steady gray eyes met those of his questioner in a puzzled fashion.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Chris Vorn, is that all the truth?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Coming around to my idea at last? ” he exclaimed.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Could n't have been that anchor, could it? ” “ What anchor? ” The constable rounded on him.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Could n't have been that anchor, could it? ” “ What anchor? ” The constable rounded on him.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did Mr. Latimer receive any message calling him to town? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did he send for you? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did you examine the bag again when your man brought it down to your office? ” Odell asked when he and the sheriff were alone.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did you expect him? ” “ No. ” “ What did he come for? ” The man's glowering temper suddenly flamed out.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did you expect him? ” “ No. ” “ What did he come for? ” The man's glowering temper suddenly flamed out.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did you see him and find out where he was in his car between five o'clock and midnight on Tues- day? ”#.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did you see that maid of Mrs. Latimer's just now?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did you take any implements with you? ” The district attorney's voice was velvety smooth.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Did your sheriff find one on Conrad and get sus- picious?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do the other servants know that you are an old employee of Mrs. Latimer? ” Odell persisted.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you Want him? ” THE RED MITTEN 101 “ No. ” Odell drew the mitten from his pocket.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you guess he's hurt bad? ” “ I dunno.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you know what this is? ” he asked with naive pride.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you live here alone with your father? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you mean that they ’d quarreled? ” the sheriff asked bluntly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you mean to say that this is the paper which was taken from Conrad Vorn? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Do you re- member them?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Does n't say anything about that, does he?
nyp.33433076054695	“ First of all, is n't there someone who ought to be notified?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Funny thing she never married, is n't it? ” Farwell mused.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Gee, this is fierce, is n't it?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Going back, Asa?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Great Dane, is n’t he? ” “ Yes. ” Henry nodded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Had he any personal enemies?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Has he spoken of bringing suit, or having anyone placed under bonds to keep the peace? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Have you got an open fire anywhere?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Have you got anything up your sleeve, Barry, that you have n't told me? ” “ Nothing but a question. ” Odell smiled.
nyp.33433076054695	“ He ’ll be here tomorrow! ” “ Bringing his man with him? ” Crewe raised his eyebrows as he unwrapped the package.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Heard of what, sir? ” he said at length.
nyp.33433076054695	“ How did you and your sister learn of the murder, Mr. Agnew?
nyp.33433076054695	“ How did you go from the house here?
nyp.33433076054695	“ How do you know? ” he demanded hoarsely.
nyp.33433076054695	“ How long? ” “ For fifteen years, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	“ I brought'em back up here in the milk wagon and we found him lying stiff and stark! ” “ Who is it? ” the coroner demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ I did n't know he'd seen me in that coat, but why did n’t he tell about it when the gentlemen were questioning him or afterwards?
nyp.33433076054695	“ I do n’t suppose you know whether I'll find the sheriff there or not?
nyp.33433076054695	“ I got a couple of days off and came out here to see my brother. ” “ Have you paid him a previous visit lately? ” “ No, sir, not in years.
nyp.33433076054695	“ I have n’t been a doctor for thirty years for nothing, John, and I know what neurotic, hysterical women are capable of; but where's the motive?
nyp.33433076054695	“ I hope, sir, that you wo n't mind my asking a question or two with the sheriff's authority? ” Mr. Crewe bowed again.
nyp.33433076054695	“ I suppose you know, however, the conditions under which I accepted the case?
nyp.33433076054695	“ I suppose you ’ve heard the news? ” “ Never is there news, and I want none of it! ” the other retorted savagely.
nyp.33433076054695	“ If we go to court with a doubt of our client's truthfulness in our own minds, how can we hope to impress a jury?
nyp.33433076054695	“ If you do n’t know the nature of it why are you so anxious to find out whether it has disappeared or not? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is it Mr. Latimer? ” “ It ’s him all right! ” he responded in a stunned fashion.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is it your idea of a rest to go get yourself mixed up in a new murder case, with Killer Jordan's bullet only just pried out of you?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is it —? ” Mrs. Vail appealed to the young man with the cap.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is one of you the doctor?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is she still faint or hysterical? ” The coroner shook his head.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is some- body after cooperation in an unofficial capacity? ” “ You ’ve hit it! ” the chief assented.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is that the watchdog? ” Odell asked suddenly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is there no one else you wish sent for besides your lawyer? ” The sheriff leaned toward her in a kindly manner.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is yo'askin ’ fo'me, boss?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Is your husband living? ” Lefferts continued.
nyp.33433076054695	“ It was n't often that he got angry, but when he did you'd like to've died from fright! ” “ Was he ever violent?
nyp.33433076054695	“ It was n’t Latimer's, then? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	“ John, are you prepared to accept the Vorns'con- fession as the whole truth? ” “ Yes, ” replied his host.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Judge Mapleton, may I not hear?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Like Sunnymead, Sergeant? ” the chief asked when the more formal greetings had been exchanged.
nyp.33433076054695	“ No woman friend, Mrs. Latimer?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Oh, Conrad, why should you bring such troubles upon me? ” “ Hold your tongue! ” commanded his brother fiercely.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Oh, what was it? ” “ That'll all come out at the inquest, ” Pettingill re- plied firmly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Pompous ass! ” muttered Mr. Agnew; then, ad- dressing the sheriff, he asked in a scarcely louder tone: “ How is Mrs. Latimer?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Possibly the man who was talking to him, for in- stance? ” “ There's something in that, ” Dr. Hale urged.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Proof as to who murdered Latimer? ” “ No, but proof enough of a motive, ” Pettingill re- plied.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Right cold, ai n’t it? ” he observed.
nyp.33433076054695	“ See those fine lines about my chin and down the side of my jaw?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Silence, or I'll have the room cleared!—Now, Chris, when was the last time you went to the village? ” “ The day before yesterday, Tuesday.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Still hanging on to the idea of that red mitten, are you?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Suppose I look around a bit myself for a time?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Take care of this for me, will you, Mr. Claggett, while I run over to the county jail? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ That it must have taken a powerful blow with a sharp- edged instrument? ” Dr. Hale interrupted.
nyp.33433076054695	“ That purveyor of fake evidence and bribed witnesses?
nyp.33433076054695	“ That sounds like an old New England name, does n’t it? ” “ It is.
nyp.33433076054695	“ The one thing I was waiting for! ” “ What is it? ” asked the coroner.
nyp.33433076054695	“ The same as usual? ” “ About! ” A faint grin appeared for an instant on the chauffeur's face.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Then you do n’t think Mrs. Latimer killed her hus- band? ” he asked at length.
nyp.33433076054695	“ There's nothing to get mad about, is there? ” he asked coolly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ They do n't think that I had anything to do with it, do they?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Those are pretty heavy pails for you to carry, are n't they? ” “ Nope, ” she responded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Through an agency? ” For an instant the man hesitated and then replied: “ No, sir.
nyp.33433076054695	“ To your knowledge, did Mr. Latimer leave a will? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Wait till I get my bag; it's in the car. ” “ Who are you? ” the sheriff asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Was it this lawyer, Mr. Crewe, who told you of the threats against your husband? ”* Oh, no.
nyp.33433076054695	“ We get it pretty easy. ” “ Your mechanicians in the assembling- rooms have use for electric torches occasionally, then? ” Odell persisted.
nyp.33433076054695	“ We have known Mrs. Latimer for- let me see — for seven years. ” “ And Mr. Latimer? ” “ Oh, I met him in England in'sixteen.
nyp.33433076054695	“ We have sort of sized Conrad up as a kind of fellow that would fall for a thing like that. ” “ Why? ” The question came crisply.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Well, what do you think of that customer? ” the sheriff asked as they made their way down the drive.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Well, what is it?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Were there any documents in the bag when it was found? ” He addressed the sheriff, and the latter shook his head.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What are you doing here, Sam? ” “ I found the body!
nyp.33433076054695	“ What could be wrong with him? ” The witness tapped his forehead significantly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What devil's talk is dis? ” “ It is true, Vorn, ” Odell replied quietly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What did you think this had been used for, if not to kill Latimer? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What do you know of these Latimers? ” “ Not much; they ’re strangers here.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What do you make of this? ” But he received no answer.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What do you mean by that? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What do you suppose the fellow is doing?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What do you think of that cry she heard and the moving light?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What does he know?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What does it look like to you? ” Odell shrugged.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What for would he come?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What happened to my husband?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What is it? ” the sheriff inquired curiously.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What on earth have you been up to?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What trick?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What was she doing? ” “ Talking to the gardener.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What was stamped on the checkbook? ” he asked briefly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What you want? ” “ Oh, Daddy, the man found your mitten that ’s been lost all day! ” the little girl exclaimed, holding it out to him.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What's become of the weapon? ” “ ‘ Who killed Cock Robin? ’ ” retorted the coroner good- naturedly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What's become of the weapon? ” “ ‘ Who killed Cock Robin? ’ ” retorted the coroner good- naturedly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ What's the harm if you did use that short cut through Latimer's place?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What's the matter?
nyp.33433076054695	“ What's up by the pond, and what were you doing there? ” “ A man with a big fur coat! ” Jimmie ignored the final question.
nyp.33433076054695	“ When did you last have this in your hand? ” Slowly Chris Vorn's weatherbeaten face whitened, but he shook his head stubbornly once more.
nyp.33433076054695	“ When was this?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Where did he stay?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Where did the Latimers live before coming here? ” “ In New York.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Where did you see Mrs. Latimer? ” demanded the prosecutor when quiet had once more been restored.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Where in the world have you been? ” the latter 106 THE MAN IN THE JURY BOX grumbled.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Where in time did you go to right after Chris's brother accused you of framing him?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Where you find dis? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Who did you drive for before you came to Mr. Latimer? ” “ Nobody.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Who was it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Who ’s dead?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Who ’s that coming down the road?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Why delay the game, Your Honor?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Why did you want that month's extended leave of absence? ” “ To find out who killed Latimer, sir, ” Odell added hurriedly.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Why should I quarrel?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Why, you are a neighbor of ours, are n't you? ” “ Yes, ma'am, ” Mrs. Vail stammered.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Why?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Why?
nyp.33433076054695	“ Will you tell us your story, madam? ” “ That's what I ’m here for, Judge, ” she responded.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Wonder when they'll bury Latimer? ” The loud- voiced man spoke above the rumble of the train.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Would you know him again if you saw him? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You are a married woman? ” “ I ’ll say sol ” the witness for the defense replied em- phatically.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You are certain of this? ” the latter gasped.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You are framing up this whole story just as you framed up the rest of it — l ” “ Am I?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You are not kidding about the chief?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You did not think it strange that you had not been called upon to prepare breakfast for Mr. Latimer? ” the district attorney asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You do n’t mean —? ” “ That Farwell has formed the same opinion of the case as John, I am afraid, ” Odell finished the ques- tion.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You fished for it down there? ” he asked, adding: “ You must have, for your arms are wet to the shoulder.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You iden- tify this — this man as your husband? ” She shuddered and passed one hand over her face.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You mean, Mr. Hsu, that you had undeniable proof that the invention was yours and had been stolen by Mr. Latimer? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You remember when Mrs. Vail came this morning with the news of what her little son had found down by the pond?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You say that you and your brother were discussing family matters, Chris; what family matters?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You see?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You sent for me, sir?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You swear to that? ” “ Sure I swear to it!
nyp.33433076054695	“ You wished to see me, gentlemen?
nyp.33433076054695	“ You work in the Latimer Airplane Company's fac- tory at Latimer, New Jersey? ” the coroner asked.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You ’re Mrs. Latimer? ” he asked huskily, his fat face red with excitement and importance.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You ’re the chauffeur, ai n't you? ” “ Sure he is! ” Sam Jenks spoke up before the other could reply.
nyp.33433076054695	“ You ’ve been with the family for six months, have n’t you? ” “ Yassuh!
nyp.33433076054695	“ You ’ve worked for the Latimers for the past year, have n’t you? ” “ A year come next month.
nyp.33433076054695	“ Your name is Agnew'? ” The newcomer bowed.
nyp.33433076054695	“ ‘ Unhappy? ’ ” Virgie snorted.
nyp.33433112011527	+- oby ’s the most devil- may- care person I ’ve ever ma?
nyp.33433112011527	- 2416 “ Are n’t There Any More Apartments To Be Had On Riverside Drive? ”.
nyp.33433112011527	.I “ You! ” she breathed aghast, “ you ’re not really Mr. Savage? ” He smiled indulgently.
nyp.33433112011527	?
nyp.33433112011527	A signal — yes, obviously; but between whom and for what purpose?
nyp.33433112011527	And I sha n’t tell you anything. ” tiWhy_ —?,, “ My business, ” said Sally with all the insolence she knew how to infuse into her tone.
nyp.33433112011527	And Why not?
nyp.33433112011527	And before I could explain — ” “ You ’re not married? ” she inquired with an absence of emotion that should have warned him.
nyp.33433112011527	And if the trespasser had been a housemaid, why that sudden and furtive flight and swift disappearance from the corridor?
nyp.33433112011527	And now will you please return to your rooms, without asking me any questions, and do as I have begged?
nyp.33433112011527	And until the theft is made good, what right have you to let me go and, possibly, get away with my loot?
nyp.33433112011527	And who the tenant of that room of the flashing window?
nyp.33433112011527	And whose bedchamber window had shown the signals, if not hers?
nyp.33433112011527	And you did meet a man out there last night. ” “ Then why do you hesitate to inform Mrs. Gos- nold?
nyp.33433112011527	Anyway, you ’re not that kind. ” “ How do you knoyv I ’m not? ” There was a pause.
nyp.33433112011527	As to that, had she not been guilty of active complicity in the greater crime?
nyp.33433112011527	At any rate, I ’ve brought it to you. ” “ To me? ” “ Do n’t be alarmed.
nyp.33433112011527	Besides, what was he up to, anyhow, over there in that corner, cut of sight?
nyp.33433112011527	Besides, what was the harm?
nyp.33433112011527	But I hope I ’m not boring you. ” “ Oh, how can you? ” she protested, lips tremulous with indignation.
nyp.33433112011527	But how could she attack another?
nyp.33433112011527	But in how many mysterious ways might she not fall short of the ideal of Good Form?
nyp.33433112011527	But what was to be her reception there, what her status, what her fortunes?
nyp.33433112011527	But where?
nyp.33433112011527	But where?
nyp.33433112011527	Ca n’t you see I ’m crazy about you? ” “ Oh, yes! ” she laughed, contemptuous.
nyp.33433112011527	Can you give me a lower on the mid- night express? ” “ No, ” Authority averred with becoming senten- tiousness.
nyp.33433112011527	Could that possibly have been done in the case of missing Sally Manvers?
nyp.33433112011527	Did n’t I warn you I was penniless?
nyp.33433112011527	Did she, then, either know or guess?
nyp.33433112011527	Do n’t you see what the telegram says—‘safe cleaned out, dining- room silver gone ’?
nyp.33433112011527	Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433112011527	Do n’t you understand? ” she stormed.
nyp.33433112011527	Do you think I ’d do my hair becomingly, and — and all that — to attract such creatures? ” “ So it ’s abstract man.
nyp.33433112011527	Do you think for an instant I ’m anxious to advertise my ignominy? ” “ It ’s a bargain, then? ” he suggested coolly.
nyp.33433112011527	Do you think for an instant I ’m anxious to advertise my ignominy? ” “ It ’s a bargain, then? ” he suggested coolly.
nyp.33433112011527	Do you want to rouse the household?
nyp.33433112011527	For with second thought had come the considera- tion: Was she not already cleared, was her inno- cence not already established?
nyp.33433112011527	For[ 53] NOBODY what, indeed, had he forced that desk if not to find the combination?
nyp.33433112011527	Give me your word — ” “ What makes that essential?
nyp.33433112011527	Had that lady not, indeed, already failed her protégée by indulging in the whim of this unac- countable disappearance?
nyp.33433112011527	Have I remembered everybody? ” She conned, half aloud, a list of names.
nyp.33433112011527	Have you seen her anywhere about? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433112011527	He said deliberately: “ Why? ” “ I ’d rather not say. ” She offered the money in her open hand.
nyp.33433112011527	How bring herself to point the finger of accusation at Lyt- tleton?
nyp.33433112011527	How can you sit there joking when you — when you ’ve just — ” “ Come off the job? ” he caught her up as she fal- tered.
nyp.33433112011527	How can you tell?
nyp.33433112011527	How could she be sure( come to think of it) that the stout man had not been the lawful caretaker rather than a rival housebreaker?
nyp.33433112011527	How did it go?
nyp.33433112011527	How would I?
nyp.33433112011527	I What were the words again?
nyp.33433112011527	I ca n’t see why you should care if that became known. ” “ Have you written anything about that? ” Mrs. Standish demanded insistently.
nyp.33433112011527	I ca n’t stop now, really. ” “ How much later? ” “ Let ’s see.
nyp.33433112011527	I do n’t suppose you know the inside story of how your predecessor got the sack?
nyp.33433112011527	I was as surprised to see you as you were, just now, to see me. ” ‘ ‘ Honestly? ” His eyes searched hers suspiciously.
nyp.33433112011527	I ’m careless about such matters. ” “ That ’s all you know about her? ” “ Practically.
nyp.33433112011527	I ’m ‘ north of fifty- three ’! ” “ You ’re what? ” “ Have you forgotten the ‘ Rhyme of the Three Sealers ”?
nyp.33433112011527	I ’m ‘ north of fifty- three ’! ” “ You ’re what? ” “ Have you forgotten the ‘ Rhyme of the Three Sealers ”?
nyp.33433112011527	If she had believed Sally guilty, or party to the[ 238] NOBODY there on the beach?
nyp.33433112011527	If she was not to protest her own innocence, what ought she to say upon that card?
nyp.33433112011527	If you have had one poor night, all the same you ’re quite another girl than the one who came here — was it only four days ago?
nyp.33433112011527	Is it a bargain? ” “ You ’re so good to me, ” said Sally simply, “ I ca n’t think how to thank you. ” “ Leave that, too, to me.
nyp.33433112011527	Is n’t the woman always[ 169] NOBODY the aggressor?
nyp.33433112011527	Is that the Manwaring woman?
nyp.33433112011527	It has only one flaw. ” “ And that, if you please? ” Mrs. Standish de- manded, bristling a trifle.
nyp.33433112011527	Let me go! ”[ 168] PICAROON “ Why do you say that?
nyp.33433112011527	Look here, wo n’t you give me a show to explain? ” “ Why, I ’m here, and I ca n’t help listening. ” “ No.
nyp.33433112011527	Mason glanced at this last: “ You recognise it? ” The woman nodded.
nyp.33433112011527	May I hope that it will be not later than to- night( point of interrogation)?
nyp.33433112011527	Mrs. Gosnold — J? ” “ Mrs.
nyp.33433112011527	Must she believe this glibly simple and adequate account or reject it on grounds of pardonable skep- ticism?
nyp.33433112011527	No matter; I ’m going to call you Sara, if you ’ve no objection. ” “ Why not Sally? ” the girl suggested tentatively.
nyp.33433112011527	Now run and tell, if you really must — but you wo n’t. ”[ 182] LEGERDEMAIN “ Oh — indeed? ” Mrs. Standish rose with vast dignity.
nyp.33433112011527	Now what did you say you did with that jewel- case Adele gave you? ” Sally repeated her account of its hiding- place.
nyp.33433112011527	Now what do you think? ” Sally shook her head and looked blank.
nyp.33433112011527	Oh, it ’s kind of you, but do n’t you see it ’s impossible? ” “ Nothing is impossible except your refusal, ” said Mrs. Standish.
nyp.33433112011527	Oh, look here, what ’s the use of beating about the bush?
nyp.33433112011527	Or have the impudence to re- new his advances?
nyp.33433112011527	Or why such pains to mask the light, and why such care not to disturb the silence of the house?
nyp.33433112011527	Or would he fail to fathom her identity and so lay himself open to her castigation?
nyp.33433112011527	Or would you like another rubber now? ” Mrs. Gosnold shook her head and laughed.
nyp.33433112011527	Remember the year ‘ motor- car pi- rates ’ terrorized Long Island?
nyp.33433112011527	Remembering this, dared she count upon even Mrs. Gosnold in this hour of greatest need?
nyp.33433112011527	She swallowed hard, took herself firmly in hand, and when the knock was repeated was able to answer in a tolerably even voice: “ Well?
nyp.33433112011527	Should she confess, or try to lie out of it?
nyp.33433112011527	The deceit?
nyp.33433112011527	The other?
nyp.33433112011527	Then what was she in his esteem?
nyp.33433112011527	Then, come to my room in half an hour. ” “ At half past twelve? ”[ 261] NOBODY “ Yes, and do n’t be late.
nyp.33433112011527	There was[ 243] NOBODY “ But what about last night?
nyp.33433112011527	Thought so? ’ “ It ’s starvation, that ’s what it is.
nyp.33433112011527	Was it consistent with loyalty to Mrs. Gosnold to keep silence about matters that might clear up the mystery and repair the wrong- doing?
nyp.33433112011527	Was it really noth- ing more nor less than a declaration of love on the part of a man she — didn’t altogether like?
nyp.33433112011527	Was it some one of the guests here? ” Silence was all the answer.
nyp.33433112011527	What can I say?
nyp.33433112011527	What can you possibly find to object to?
nyp.33433112011527	What could be the objection, even were the escapade to be discovered by misadventure?
nyp.33433112011527	What could have happened in New York that he must seek an early meeting to discuss it with her?
nyp.33433112011527	What do you do best? ” “ Why — I’ve tried to write, ” Sally confessed shyly.
nyp.33433112011527	What do you know about me? ” she protested almost pas- sionately, and answered herself.
nyp.33433112011527	What do you want? ” “ Where have you been? ” the Presence retorted in a level voice instantly identified as that of Mrs. Standish.
nyp.33433112011527	What do you want? ” “ Where have you been? ” the Presence retorted in a level voice instantly identified as that of Mrs. Standish.
nyp.33433112011527	What else could you do?
nyp.33433112011527	What had been the outcome of that terribly incriminating clue, her name on the garments composing that sloughed chrysalis of yesterday?
nyp.33433112011527	What had she not known, indeed?
nyp.33433112011527	What had worked this change?
nyp.33433112011527	What have I done?
nyp.33433112011527	What is it?

nyp.33433112011527	What, she argued scornfully, was one man, after all? — — es- pecially one who had no more lawful business than she upon those premises!
nyp.33433112011527	What? ” “ Yes — and hang the expense! ” “ By all means, hang it.
nyp.33433112011527	Where have you been? ” “ Does it matter? ” Sally fenced, maintaining a stony countenance.

nyp.33433112011527	Who is it? ” “ Miss Manwaring, are you there? ” Heartfelt re- lief informed the voice of Mrs. Standish.
nyp.33433112011527	Who now would dare contend that life was ever sordid, grim, and cruel, indigestible from soup to savoury?
nyp.33433112011527	Who was on that boat?
nyp.33433112011527	Why did you do it?
nyp.33433112011527	Why do you think I ’d lie — to you? ” It was just that little quaver prefacing her last two words which precipitated the affair.
nyp.33433112011527	Why had heleft it there?
nyp.33433112011527	Why need Mrs. Standish deliberately have ut- tered so monumental a falsehood about the losses of her aunt at cards?
nyp.33433112011527	Why not Trego?
nyp.33433112011527	Why not?

nyp.33433112011527	Why not?
nyp.33433112011527	Why that one?

nyp.33433076090178	How do you figure that? ” “ Simple, ” replied the doctor; “ and I ’ve seen a few practical demonstrations in my time.

nyp.33433076090178	Jackson?
nyp.33433076090178	Just where is the difference? ” He passed both the note from his wallet and the counterfeit to Gillian who received them with a laugh.

nyp.33433076090178	Now? ” The girl raised her face from his coat and he could see the tears in her eyes as she nodded her head.
nyp.33433076090178	On the other hand — was it possible that some one had overheard the conversation between the two bank presidents?
nyp.33433076090178	Or was it possible, after all, that he was go- ing astray?
nyp.33433076090178	Perhaps he was guilty even of sharp practise, but who of us are n't at some time in our lives?
nyp.33433076090178	Philly. ” “ On your own? ” “ Lone — yes. ” I88 THE EYE WITNESS__- Staggard was chuckling.
nyp.33433076090178	Plumbing? ” The doctor shrugged.
nyp.33433076090178	Remem- ber the bank- robbing case we had here — or, did n't Hal tell you about it?
nyp.33433076090178	Remember that, will you? ” Gillian did not smile at this expression of altru- istic philosophy.
nyp.33433076090178	Right? ” Gillian admitted that the big man's guess was cor- rect.
nyp.33433076090178	Saw him, eh?
nyp.33433076090178	Say, what's the matter with you?
nyp.33433076090178	Some one who was really implicated, and had that some one hit upon the idea of making it appear that the messenger was guilty?
nyp.33433076090178	Something that he does n't want generally known about the bank? ” Gillian eyed his friend.
nyp.33433076090178	THE DOCTOR IS VISITED 69 “ Ever hear of Joseph Pillman? ” “ Pillman? ” The doctor scratched his head.
nyp.33433076090178	THE DOCTOR IS VISITED 69 “ Ever hear of Joseph Pillman? ” “ Pillman? ” The doctor scratched his head.
nyp.33433076090178	THE DOCTOR IS VISITED 73 “ Something for me, Mae? ” The girl who received patients in the outer office entered and closed the door.
nyp.33433076090178	THE DOCTOR TAKES CHARGE 231 “ Well, how are we going to get him out of it? ” Gillian drew up sharply at the question.
nyp.33433076090178	That is why I am here. ” “ And your plans? ” “ None yet; ” Gillian shrugged.
nyp.33433076090178	That settles it. ” “ What? ” The doctor looked up.
nyp.33433076090178	That you, Hal?
nyp.33433076090178	The case of Wilshire and Tyndall's father, for example, have n't you? ” Gillian inclined his head.
nyp.33433076090178	Then he turned his bullet- head to Gillian: “ Mind tellin'me what that guy was after? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090178	Then: “ Both thirty- eights, are n't they? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090178	Then: “ Pretty shrewd guy, this Norton? ” “ Mighty shrewd; ” Gillian answered unhesitat- ingly.
nyp.33433076090178	Then: “ Why did you say it was a pretty good thing that Norton got away? ” Gillian looked up quickly.
nyp.33433076090178	There was another one. ” “ Yes? ” “ But he was killed last night. ” Kilgore stopped his work of repacking the suit- case and whistled.
nyp.33433076090178	There was no mistaking the heavy rumble that characterized Doctor Edward Lester: “ That you, Gillian?
nyp.33433076090178	There's no trick to it. ” “ No? ” The doctor seemed more interested.
nyp.33433076090178	They met in At- lanta, it seems? ” There was only a half- question is in his words.
nyp.33433076090178	Tried the regular formulas? ” “ Yes, and a few irregular ones of my own, ” Gil- lian admitted.
nyp.33433076090178	Tyndall turned to his friend: “ Want me to say anything to Lester? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076090178	Understand? ” “ Oui, m'sieur. ” Tyndall was irrepressible.
nyp.33433076090178	Want him?
nyp.33433076090178	Want me to come back for you? ” “ No, thanks. ” Gillian descended to the curb.
nyp.33433076090178	Want me to try to guess? ” Gillian nodded his head.
nyp.33433076090178	Was it possible that she had meant that she had re- ceived the money from her father?
nyp.33433076090178	Was it possible that the banker had imagined that Tyndall was becoming suspicious of him?
nyp.33433076090178	Was it possible that the jumbled, typewritten line on the back of the paper was the missing memoran- dum?
nyp.33433076090178	Was it possible that the typed lines were a code?
nyp.33433076090178	Was it possible, after all, that it had not been made by Hal's revolver?
nyp.33433076090178	Was it possible, after all, that there was some twist in the counterfeiting skein that he had not yet become aware of?
nyp.33433076090178	Was there some- thing that Norton knew that had so far eluded the attention of the men working on the case?
nyp.33433076090178	Was this an instinctive effort on the old man's part to shield his bank from criticism and suspicion, even at the risk of himself?
nyp.33433076090178	We use several: some of the standard ones and some of our own. ” “ A private code? ” “ Yes. ” Gillian frowned.
nyp.33433076090178	What did Miss Ulmstead say? ” The hint of a smile played about the corners of the girl's lips.
nyp.33433076090178	What did you say about that chess game — want to tackle a dub like me? ” Gillian shook his head negatively.
nyp.33433076090178	What had Staggard to do with Tyndall and what had Tyndall to do with Gillian?
nyp.33433076090178	What in the name of all that's holy did you do that for? ” Gillian smiled a little.
nyp.33433076090178	What kind of a crook are you? ” “ Game? ” Gillian did not comprehend.
nyp.33433076090178	What kind of a crook are you? ” “ Game? ” Gillian did not comprehend.
nyp.33433076090178	What led you to think that Gillings told me of the messenger's absence?
nyp.33433076090178	What was there that was so familiar in the almost boyishly slender figure and the piquant, intriguing face?
nyp.33433076090178	What's the answer?
nyp.33433076090178	What's the idea? ” The inspector reserved the ceremony of shaking hands.
nyp.33433076090178	What?
nyp.33433076090178	When Lester went out — remember?
nyp.33433076090178	When? ” “ In the doctor's office.
nyp.33433076090178	Where did you get it? ” The girl tucked away the bill she had received from Gillian.
nyp.33433076090178	Where was Wilshire when Ulmstead was ac- A PLAN IS MADE II5 tually speaking?
nyp.33433076090178	Where'd you get it? ” He chuckled and turned to the door.
nyp.33433076090178	Where's your gun? ” NUMBER 1209 185 “ Have n't any. ” Gillian's tone was surly.
nyp.33433076090178	Whoever would think, anyway, ” the doctor chuckled, “ of looking for him there?
nyp.33433076090178	Why be afraid?
nyp.33433076090178	Why do you ask? ” Gillian shrugged a denial of any specific reason for his query.
nyp.33433076090178	Why the question? ” The doctor hunched his heavy shoulders.
nyp.33433076090178	Why?
nyp.33433076090178	Why? ” “ Oh, it's apropos of the reason for that embar- rassment you think exists between Hal and the young ladies.
nyp.33433076090178	Wilshire dead Tyndall.... “ Say, did you know him? ” The inspector was searching for his hat.
nyp.33433076090178	Wilshire?

nyp.33433076090178	Yassuh. ” “ You did n't tell that this morning, did you, Jessamine? ” “ Di'n't I?
nyp.33433076090178	Yassuh. ” “ You did n't tell that this morning, did you, Jessamine? ” “ Di'n't I?
nyp.33433076090178	Yes?
nyp.33433076090178	You mean it's here — here in Jack- sonville? ” “ Well, it's hereabouts — as the bell- boy says, ” I2 THE EYE WITNESS smiled Gillian.
nyp.33433076090178	You're not after him? ” Scandalized amazement was in the young lawyer's voice.
nyp.33433076090178	You're the other. ” “ Want to make it a third? ” “ What?
nyp.33433076090178	You're the other. ” “ Want to make it a third? ” “ What?
nyp.33433076090178	it?
nyp.33433076090178	what sort of a near chess champion is this you ’ve developed into?
nyp.33433076090178	“ A stenographer?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Admitted; ” he an- swered, “ and now what is it?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ai n’t I told you once who Mr. Gillian is?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ai n’t it?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ai n’t she a ribbon- winner, eh? ” He turned the note over again in his hands and eyed the typed line of meaningless letters.
nyp.33433076090178	“ An e? ” he questioned, re- calling the oft- recurring letter.
nyp.33433076090178	“ And Mr.-er- Gillings, I believe you said?
nyp.33433076090178	“ And phone Doctor Lester, too, will you? ” Gil- lian was busy looking through a handful of letters he had removed from the prisoner's coat.
nyp.33433076090178	“ And that's the way Wilshire was found? ” “ Yes — nothing has been moved.
nyp.33433076090178	“ And the noise? ” “ Oh, she heard the noise; ” assured the doctor positively.
nyp.33433076090178	“ And where did you find this?
nyp.33433076090178	“ And who else in the bank knows of 28 A DISAPPEARANCE 29 this, Mr. Ulmstead? ” The answer to this question would, he felt, clear his thoughts.
nyp.33433076090178	“ And who is this Courtney Gillian? ” The Metropolis reporter put the question, and the inspec- tor stroked his heavy chin.
nyp.33433076090178	“ And would you mind telling me just how you did learn that the messenger was absent? ” Ulmstead smiled embarrassedly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Another one? ” Ulmstead made an impatient gesture.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Any one been here? ” Gillian questioned.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Anything else, Chief? ” “ Nothing, Kilgore.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Anything to suggest, Mr. Gillian, before I send him out? ” The inspector turned to Gillian who still fingered the revolver absently.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Anything we can do for you right now? ” “ N- no, thanks.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Anything you want him to do for you on the way down? ” “ Not for me; no.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Are n't you a little young, Mr. Gillian, for the rôle of inves- tigator?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Are you sure, Mr. Gillian? ” There was no questioning the utter amazement in his voice.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ask Mr. Tyndall to come up, will you?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Been shot? ” queried the inspector turning.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Been talking chess? ” “ No, ” grumbled the doctor, “ been talking crooks. ” “ Hah!
nyp.33433076090178	“ Buenos Aires, was n’t it? ” Gillian grinned ruefully.
nyp.33433076090178	“ But maybe I ’m taking a vaca- tion from- well, what is it?
nyp.33433076090178	“ But tell me about Hal — was he very much — cut up?
nyp.33433076090178	“ But whoever would have suspected you, of all people*> “ What's the matter with me? ” challenged Gillian.
nyp.33433076090178	“ But you wanted to know where the bank is, did n't you?
nyp.33433076090178	“ But — how about the newspaper story, Chief?
nyp.33433076090178	“ But — why wait until night? ” Gillian shrugged.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Can we have Tyndall in here a minute? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Code? ” The financier was plainly at sea.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Complete message? ” “ Why, no — it's unfinished. ” The big man passed the paper back.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Di'n't I?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Did father see Hal? ” The girl's hands clasped tightly in her lap, and an expression that was almost of fear came into her eyes.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Did you stay there all night? ” Gillian asked.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Discord in the Landers family? ” The girl nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Do n’t know this Tyndall guy, do you? ” Gillian nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Do you happen to know where you got this, Mr. Ulmstead? ” “ What's that? ” John Ulmstead leaned forward.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Do you happen to know where you got this, Mr. Ulmstead? ” “ What's that? ” John Ulmstead leaned forward.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Do you happen to know, Mr. Ulmstead, how the gentlemen of the Bay Street National chanced to suspect the genuineness of the bills?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Do you think you can make any- thing of it? ” The big man eyed the typed lines again.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Doctor Edward Lester — do you want to ruin everything? ” The girl reached over and jerked the hiding cowl over the man's protesting voice.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Doing anything special this morning, Mr. Gil- lian? ” The doctor dropped the matter of the malaria remedy.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ever see an e standing all by his lonesome?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ever see any of it? ” The doctor turned to the speaker, holding the paper in his hand.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Foolish? ” he queried in- anely.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Funny ai n’t it?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Get him out of it? ” Gillian repeated.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Get over, Gill? ” he inquired with elaborate casualness, for no service pin decorated the young man's buttonhole.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Get that?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Gill? ” Tyndall extended his manacled hands, and Gillian approached him quickly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Give me an hour on it? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Got soup on you? ” Gillian shook his head.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Got that letter to Staggard? ” he questioned, his eyes on the chess- board.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Had n't they been watching him since he got out? ” questioned the doctor.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Has n’t any one told you?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Have a cigarette? ” Gillian extended a case to the doctor who shook his head.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Have they searched his place? ” Gillian answered in the affirmative.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Have you seen him? ” A suspicious gurgle came from behind the labora- tory door and the nickeled handle began to turn slowly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ He ’s in there, ” he volunteered, “ and that's something you ’ll have to ask him. ” “ But where did he come from?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Hmm — ” he muttered; “ just what does the code say? ” Gillian repeated the lines from memory: “ Watch Wilshire he is yellow.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Hotel Mason, eh? ” “ Hotel Mason? ” Gillian was startled, for the paper was absolutely blank of address.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Hotel Mason, eh? ” “ Hotel Mason? ” Gillian was startled, for the paper was absolutely blank of address.
nyp.33433076090178	“ How much did Hal know? ” he demanded suddenly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ I do n't recall that any of the really great investigators were good chess players. ” “ Great? ” Snorted the doctor.
nyp.33433076090178	“ I have more than a bare sus- picion that I can pick up his trail when I want to. ” “ And you are n't doing it? ” Tyndall was aston- ished.
nyp.33433076090178	“ I wonder what she meant by that? ” Gillian laughed.
nyp.33433076090178	“ I wonder, lady, if you can keep a secret? ” “ Oh yes — please. ” The girl dropped a hand on his arm.
nyp.33433076090178	“ I ’d say look out for the fake stuff. ” « and that the fake stuff had already begun to appear? ” finished Gillian.
nyp.33433076090178	“ I ’m sorry, Hal, ” she murmured, “ but — but what can we do, boy? ” He nodded as though to himself.
nyp.33433076090178	“ In- stinct? ” he suggested, and laughed.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Inspector Herndon? ” The young man turned for the first time to the desk, and the inspector came heavily and slowly to his feet.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Intended to- night to elope with Ruth, did n't he? ” Again the big man hit squarely to the point.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Is Jackson go- ing to take him? ” The inspector nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Is n't that queer? ” Jessamine returned with the purse.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Is that all, Mr. Gillian? ” Ralph Wilshire turned from the young man and pulled a letter forward on his desk.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Is your bank, or are you, Mr. Ulmstead, interested particu- CODES 99 f larly in the recent bond issue of the Florida Recla- mation Company?
nyp.33433076090178	“ It is just possible, Hal; but does n't it strike you as rather unlikely?
nyp.33433076090178	“ It's — it's awfully cheeky, Mr. Gillian, to — to drag you into our diffi- culties, but Vera said 33 86 THE EYE WITNESS “ Yes?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Just a minute, Jessamine — what is it, Mr. Gillian, that's so very amusing?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Keeping quiet about this other business? ” DOCTOR LESTER PLAYS CHESS 261 Gillian rose also.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Knew old Wilshire, did you? ” The inspector was interested.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Know Mr. Staggard? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Know him quite well — was with him a while to- night. ” “ Yeh?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Local stuff? ” queried the inspector, delving into his desk for a box of his very special cigars.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Looking for something? ” Gillian shook his head.
nyp.33433076090178	“ May I phone a wire from here? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Met old Wilshire yet? ” Gillian nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Mighty pretty stuff, eh? ” Kilgore picked up one of the counterfeit notes.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Mind calling me Courtney, Mr. Ulmstead, ” he asked, “ or just Gill? ” The old man's eyes smiled his pleasure.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Mind- reader? ” Gillian tried to make the query sound jokingly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Miss Ruth?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Money?
nyp.33433076090178	“ No? ” The doctor chuckled again heavily.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Not exactly, ” he smiled, “ but I heard him. ” “ Oh — where? ” The girl made no attempt to hide her anxiety.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Now just what is it that's troubling you, Vera P Another tire or a squeak in the generator? ” The girl shook her head brightly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Now, where's the body? ” Jackson indicated the door of the library and the inspector moved toward it.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Oh, yes; counterfeiter, was n’t he?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Pillman? ” He thought a moment.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Rather a queer sort, Mr. Wilshire, eh? ” A THEFT- IO5 The man pocketed the cigar.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ready, young man?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Remember Kipling's soldier?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Ruth, dear — you will?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Say — what ’s your game, anyway?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Say — where'd you get the combination? ” Jack- son's voice held a tinge of what might have been construed as suspicion.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Say, ai n't it just my bloomin'luck? ” complained the inspector.
nyp.33433076090178	“ See the frequently doubled letters?
nyp.33433076090178	“ See this in the paper this morning about the 66 THE EYE WITNESS missing bank messenger? ” Gillian questioned absently.
nyp.33433076090178	“ So Gillian undertook it, did he? ” The assistant nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ So that's where it went, eh?
nyp.33433076090178	“ So you are here for something, eh? ” Gillian bit his lip impatiently.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Something for you? ” “ Oh, no; ” Gillian denied, “ just a little tip for your own department.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Surprising, is n't it, ” he went on, “ how much this detecting game is like chess?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Thanks, Hero, and — oh, yes — has Jassamine gone to the house?
nyp.33433076090178	“ That all? ” he queried.
nyp.33433076090178	“ That note you brought me — remember?
nyp.33433076090178	“ That so, Sam P What's his name?
nyp.33433076090178	“ The law is all right, ” he replied, smiling widely, “ the trouble seems to be with the criminals. ” “ A dearth of them? ” “ Dearth?
nyp.33433076090178	“ The law is all right, ” he replied, smiling widely, “ the trouble seems to be with the criminals. ” “ A dearth of them? ” “ Dearth?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Then Ruth 3 y “ Did you examine Ruth, too? ” Gillian voiced his surprise.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Then he expected to find him? ” The doctor's head motioned to the silent man at the table.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Then there's the matter of the open screen and the sound of the blow- out, I think you said, was n't it? ” Gillian studied the doctor a moment.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Then you have recovered your memorandum? ” Gillian put the question amiably.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Then you're here on a case? ” “ Maybe, ” Gillian nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Think he'll come from the front? ” Gillian shrugged in the darkness of the stairway.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Thinking of what? ” MORE COUNTERFEIT 87 Gillian grinned at Jessamine in the doorway.
nyp.33433076090178	“ This Norton chap, ” he queried, “ anything else on him? ” 4.
nyp.33433076090178	“ This affect your investigation any? ” he queried, shooting wild.
nyp.33433076090178	“ This room lit up — like this?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Thought DOCTOR LESTER DEMONSTRATES 141 you did n't know what it was? ” he boomed, and laughed at the expression on the younger man's face.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Too damned bad, ai n’t it? ” Gillian remained silent while the inspector pon- dered the whole story.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Too long?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Warned you?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Well, I saw Wilshire get it. ” “ You saw him get it?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Well? ” Gillian's tone expressed his keen anxiety.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What are we waitin ’ for, anyway? ” he questioned, turning to Gillian.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What are you doing here? ” Gillian flushed; then regained his composure.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What brings you? ”- “ I just got here, ” Tyndall advised, “ and I ’m go- ing to see him, too.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What do we know about great investigators — I mean real men?
nyp.33433076090178	“ What do you get from that? ” The doctor grunted, and his pencil began to work on the paper.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What do you see? ” The banker looked earnestly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What goes on the blotter? ” The inspector ges- tured to a seat.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What is it, lady? ” Gillian bent over the girl.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's the idea, young man?
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's the idea? ” demanded the official, “ gone nuts P ” Jackson sputtered wrathfully.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's the lay, buddy? ” queried Staggard, draw- ing a chair opposite his captive.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's the matter with the man, ” he asked finally, “ hasin't he any ambition? ” “ Ambition? ” Tyndall slowed his car somewhat.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's the matter with the man, ” he asked finally, “ hasin't he any ambition? ” “ Ambition? ” Tyndall slowed his car somewhat.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's the time limit? ” he asked, plainly skeptical of Gil- lian's sincerity.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's wrong, Hal? ” “ Everything! ” Tyndall shot the word out hope- DOCTOR LESTER DEMONSTRATES 149* lessly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ What's your monniker, buddy? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ When did they let you out, buddy?
nyp.33433076090178	“ When we get this thing settled I do n't mind showing you what little I know about it. ” “ Say — will you? ” Jackson's tone was eager.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Where ’ll I find the St. John's National? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Where'd you get the DOCTOR LESTER DEMONSTRATES 139 book? ” He turned again to the volume.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Where's the third one, eh? ” He eyed Gillian who motioned him aside impatiently.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Who are you? ” Gillian removed his mask.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Who ’s been using a typewriter? ” Then he unfolded the paper and read quickly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Who- me?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Why — yes, That's what you were thinking about, was n't it? ” Gillian turned a deep red.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Why, yes — I 33 “ Rather queer Hal should have been packing a gun, is n't it? ” continued the doctor.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Will you come along? ” The doctor did not reply immediately, but re- sumed his seat.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Will you exchange with me? ” he smiled, reach- ing into his own pocket and producing a five- dollar bill.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Will you give him a note for me? ” the girl went on, “ will you? ” “ Why, surely.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Will you give him a note for me? ” the girl went on, “ will you? ” “ Why, surely.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Wilshire is the man you were after in the first place, was n't he? ” Gillian nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Wise to the bulls, are you? ” It seemed that he, too, knew the detective by sight.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Wo n't you please go to Hal again and tell him — tell him not to let father see him?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Wo n't you tell me about it?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Wuk?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Yeh — what's up? ” Then an expression of awe began to dawn on Hal Tyndall's youthful face.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Yeh?
nyp.33433076090178	“ Yes — I'm afraid we made a lot of plans in those days, Hal, that are n't destined to be carried out. ” “ Why not? ” demanded Tyndall.
nyp.33433076090178	“ Yes? ” “ Wilshire got out with a whole skin and a whole pocketbook; ” added the doctor shortly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You admitted them? ” “ Yes, sir. ” The servant's voice was shaky.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You ai n't exactly telling all you know, are you? ” The doctor put the question with a chuckle, but it brought the young man up with a start.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You ai n’t thinking that she can tell you anything, are you?
nyp.33433076090178	“ You do n't think that any reliability is to be placed on the col- ored girl's statements, do you? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You goin'to stay here? ” he asked interestedly.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You got the letter we sent you, did n't you?
nyp.33433076090178	“ You know codes pretty well, Doctor? ” The doctor shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You know most of the people around here, do n't you, Hal? ” “ Know everybody. ” Tyndall's statement was all embracing.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You remember the maid's remark about an auto tire blow- out? ” The doctor chuckled.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You remember the note Ruth wrote to you, Hal? ” continued Gillian.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You think, with Ulmstead's help, we might be able to get bail? ” Gillian's voice held a new note of.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You were n't after this Tyndall guy, were you? ”- Gillian shook his head negatively.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You were wearing a blue sweater and a blue knitted tam- o'-shanter, and you were waving your gloves well, by jove! ” “ Is n't it queer?
nyp.33433076090178	“ You wo n't tell? ” She was ador- ably serious.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You ’re at the hotel?
nyp.33433076090178	“ You ’re not still in"—his voice dropped to a ludicrous whisper—“the Secret Service? ” Gillian smiled at the tone, but nodded.
nyp.33433076090178	“ You ’ve no trace of Norton, have you? ” Gillian dropped what he had been about to say and put the new question.

mdp.39015030718533	But does Mr. Tupperwill know the character of this man?
mdp.39015030718533	But if the documents are in the safe, how can you get at them?
mdp.39015030718533	But if this person came in from the balcony,said Digby,"how did he or she get there?"
mdp.39015030718533	But surely you're mistaken? mdp.39015030718533 But that does n't last?"
mdp.39015030718533	But what can I say?
mdp.39015030718533	But what is the idea? mdp.39015030718533 But whose was it?"
mdp.39015030718533	But why are you coming here?

mdp.39015030718533	I do n't know, why do you ask that?
mdp.39015030718533	I do n't see why you should n't slip in a second carbon?
mdp.39015030718533	I do n't think that it is a matter which really concerns you, does it?
mdp.39015030718533	I gather that you are the lord high executioner?
mdp.39015030718533	I gave you everything you wanted,she said trem- ulously,"did n't I, dear?
mdp.39015030718533	I have n't told you? mdp.39015030718533 I heard your screams- You are Mrs. Fane, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030718533	I hope your landlady did not bother to wake you up? mdp.39015030718533 I know you're not a Japanese,"she said impatiently,"but are you Soyoka's agent?"

mdp.39015030718533	I pointed out to Mr. Groat that the lady had n't a wedding- ring, but he said that he was married all right and he was taking her to sea"To sea?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose there is no way of learning the nature of the theft?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you find it very dull here, Steele? mdp.39015030718533 I suppose you get rather bored with typing the same letter over and over again?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you know that Lady Waltham's maid has been arrested for stealing this, and will probably go to prison for six months?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you'll have the usual?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you'll spend a lot of your time listening to this thing?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you're going home now? mdp.39015030718533 I suppose you're going to blacklist me?"
mdp.39015030718533	I think you've used that argument before, have n't you?
mdp.39015030718533	I thought so yesterday; I'm not so sure to- day,was the superintendent's reply, and then:"Did you have this pit thoroughly cleared?"
mdp.39015030718533	I want to know something about Jane Groat's youth, who were her friends, and what you know about Digby Groat?
mdp.39015030718533	I want you tonight — do you hear? mdp.39015030718533 I was n't so curious''"You did n't even see the silhouette of the man inside?"
mdp.39015030718533	I wonder if Mr. Knebworth would mind my railing to see you?
mdp.39015030718533	I wonder if you remember, Elsa, whether your uncle had a trunk with a number of trays, fitting one on top of the other?
mdp.39015030718533	I would n't have a mark up there, anyway, would I? mdp.39015030718533 I'd like to know what you mean by that?"
mdp.39015030718533	I'll find the station master,he cried,"can you tele- phone anywhere?"
mdp.39015030718533	I'm likely to tell you that, ai n't I?
mdp.39015030718533	I, Major Amery? mdp.39015030718533 I?
mdp.39015030718533	If it was not the truth, why did Dame commit suicide the moment you went to arrest him? mdp.39015030718533 If the brown man wore Lawley's hat when he arrived at Mr. Longvale's, where in the name of fate did the change take place?
mdp.39015030718533	If you do n't know, who does? mdp.39015030718533 If you know he is n't here,"asked the exas- perated Jack,"why in blazes do you come?"
mdp.39015030718533	If you make a sound, you son of a thief,said Jim,"I'll blow your face offl Do you understand that?"
mdp.39015030718533	If you want to save Steele's life,said Digby in a low, urgent tone,"you will not cry out, you under- stand?"
mdp.39015030718533	In order not to waste time, Mr. Salter,he said quietly,"have you any influence with the Admiralty?
mdp.39015030718533	In self- defense? mdp.39015030718533 In the City — in my office?
mdp.39015030718533	Indeed, sir?

mdp.39015030718533	Is n't there a chance that they will have the law on us?
mdp.39015030718533	Is n't there a way you could fix a fellow like that?
mdp.39015030718533	Is n't this Elsa Marlowe?

mdp.39015030718533	Is your ape in?
mdp.39015030718533	It does n't matter whom I call on, does it?
mdp.39015030718533	It is hardly likely,he said sarcastically,"your friend Steele""Is he there?"
mdp.39015030718533	It is no trouble, I assure you,said the partner,"but to make absolutely sure we will get our sailings for — June, 1901, I think you said?"
mdp.39015030718533	It is puzzling, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	It is ugly, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	It seems ten thousand years since I saw THE HAND 19? mdp.39015030718533 It was a foolish idea, but —""What did you think?"
mdp.39015030718533	It was the scar on your hand that did it,he said slowly,"what does it mean?"
mdp.39015030718533	It was vou who struck him?
mdp.39015030718533	It was'nt by any chance Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	It's a pretty mean- looking apartment, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	Jessie, how long have you been a member of the Mispah Club?
mdp.39015030718533	Jim, do you remember the enquiries I made about this very girl, Eunice Weldon, and which you made, too?

mdp.39015030718533	Leave this house — leave me?
mdp.39015030718533	Left a good home, I guess?
mdp.39015030718533	Less risky?
mdp.39015030718533	Life is pretty sweet to you, I guess? mdp.39015030718533 Like me when I was like that, eh?"
mdp.39015030718533	Little game? mdp.39015030718533 Locked up in our garage?
mdp.39015030718533	Looking after my employer's interests?
mdp.39015030718533	Looking for something?
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery is n't here this morning?
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery,she asked,"do you think they will track the murderer?"
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery,she began,"do you remember the night that Mr. Tupperwill was attacked?"
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery? mdp.39015030718533 Major Amery?"
mdp.39015030718533	Mantegazza?'' mdp.39015030718533 Marks of blood?"

mdp.39015030718533	Miss Madge Benson — that's you, nurse, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	Miss Mendoza?
mdp.39015030718533	Miss Weldon, can you explain that scar on your wrist?
mdp.39015030718533	Money?
mdp.39015030718533	More study?

mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Brixan? mdp.39015030718533 Mr. Groat, is n't this a bad business?"
mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Harry is coming down to London to- morrow, is n't he?
mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Knebvvorth told you, I presume?
mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Knebworth, can I speak to you?
mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Steele does n't like me, does he?
mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Steele, is it? mdp.39015030718533 Mr. Tupperwill?"
mdp.39015030718533	Mrs. Trene Hallam to see me? mdp.39015030718533 My car is round the corner; will you come to my house?"
mdp.39015030718533	My dear fellow, why exasperate me? mdp.39015030718533 My dear,"she said,"who do you think I met down- stairs?
mdp.39015030718533	My mother? mdp.39015030718533 My what?"
mdp.39015030718533	Need you ask that?
mdp.39015030718533	Need you tell him?
mdp.39015030718533	Never seen him yourself?
mdp.39015030718533	Nice job, this?
mdp.39015030718533	No trouble at the Towers, I trust?
mdp.39015030718533	No,he said at last, and then putting down the document,:'so you're interested in finger prints, eh?
mdp.39015030718533	Not Haflam?
mdp.39015030718533	Not Paul Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	Not The Head- hunter?
mdp.39015030718533	Not even by the reflected light?
mdp.39015030718533	Not heavy enough for a bomb, and when one opened the package, what more natural than to seize this paper- covered little ball?
mdp.39015030718533	Not too much work? mdp.39015030718533 Nothing funny will happen to that machine of yours in the rain?"
mdp.39015030718533	Nothing that would have induced some evilly dis- posed person to remove?
mdp.39015030718533	Nothing unusual?
mdp.39015030718533	Nothing, eh?
mdp.39015030718533	Nothing?
mdp.39015030718533	Now I wonder how our friend put them there?
mdp.39015030718533	Now tell me this, Mendhlesohn, would it be possible to get a conviction against the person who supplied these sweets?
mdp.39015030718533	Now the question is, Elsa, will you come along with me to Threadneedle Street?
mdp.39015030718533	Now what can I do for you?
mdp.39015030718533	Now who shall be first?
mdp.39015030718533	Now why on earth did my man do that?
mdp.39015030718533	Now you'll oblige me, Mr. Brixan, by not get- ting in the way? mdp.39015030718533 Now, sir,"said Mr. Longvale courteously,"to what circumstance do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now, what is this you were telling me about a will? mdp.39015030718533 Now, what's the consideration, Ralph?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now, young miss, are you ready?
mdp.39015030718533	Of course he sympathized with you?
mdp.39015030718533	Of course, it is the nurse's night out, is n't it? mdp.39015030718533 Of me?"
mdp.39015030718533	Of mine?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh it was wonderful, Jim,she cried as soon as she could make herself heard,"but what happened to that poor man?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, an extra, is he?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, do you?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, is that all?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, is that what it is? mdp.39015030718533 Oh, it was you, was it?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, no,said the girl, shocked,"of course I have n't How could I?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, she did, did she?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, so you're the young woman who is going to be my secretary, are you?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, that was the noise?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, the Blue Train outrage? mdp.39015030718533 Oh, the policeman said that, did he?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, yes — your cousin or something,'isn't he? mdp.39015030718533 Oh, yes, he's a Victoria Cross person, is n't he?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, yes, of course — you're Ralph's sister- in- law?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you did ask him to come, did you? mdp.39015030718533 Oh, you did, did you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you did, did you?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you do, eh?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you little fool, why did you come here?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you're here, are you?
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you've heard about it, have you? mdp.39015030718533 On the northern train?"
mdp.39015030718533	On the road?
mdp.39015030718533	Our client?
mdp.39015030718533	Our friend — which friend?
mdp.39015030718533	Perhaps,turning to Knebworth,"when your picture is finished you will be so good as to allow me to see it?"
mdp.39015030718533	Poison?
mdp.39015030718533	Poker?
mdp.39015030718533	Poor old Fossl You think that Penne did this? mdp.39015030718533 Poor, too?"
mdp.39015030718533	Pretty?
mdp.39015030718533	Quarreling?
mdp.39015030718533	Ralph, was there money here? mdp.39015030718533 Rather an unpleasant- looking tramp?"
mdp.39015030718533	Rather thrilling and exciting, was n't it? mdp.39015030718533 Rats?"
mdp.39015030718533	Read what? mdp.39015030718533 Really, Elsa, you're taking quite a high hand to de- prive me of the key of my""Not your flat, surely?
mdp.39015030718533	Say, what's the idea?
mdp.39015030718533	Secondly,said Villa, putting the stump of his fore- finger in his palm,"where does poor August Villa come into this?"
mdp.39015030718533	Shall I drive you back?
mdp.39015030718533	Shall I leave the bills of lading, please?
mdp.39015030718533	She is very pretty, is n't she?
mdp.39015030718533	She lives here, does n't she?
mdp.39015030718533	She was the skeleton at his feast, then?
mdp.39015030718533	She would be an accessory if she saw him cut the man down? mdp.39015030718533 Sick?
mdp.39015030718533	Since when has Scotland Yard had the right of searching a City office? mdp.39015030718533 Sir Gregory Penne?
mdp.39015030718533	Sit down — what's your name?
mdp.39015030718533	Sneakers? mdp.39015030718533 So that is the story he told you?"
mdp.39015030718533	So that's Amery, is it?
mdp.39015030718533	So that's your line, is it?
mdp.39015030718533	So you can abandon that idea, ca n't you?
mdp.39015030718533	So you were spying on me?
mdp.39015030718533	So you're at home, are you?
mdp.39015030718533	So you're leaving us, Miss Marlowe?
mdp.39015030718533	Sorry — that's an old comedy situation, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	Soyoka would n't be superior to a little burglary, I guess?
mdp.39015030718533	Soyoka? mdp.39015030718533 Soyoka?"
mdp.39015030718533	Stillman?
mdp.39015030718533	Suicide — in fear of arrest, I presume?
mdp.39015030718533	Suppose Eunice had told Digby Groat of this warning?
mdp.39015030718533	Suppose Eunice were your daughter? mdp.39015030718533 Suppose he did n't reveal it?
mdp.39015030718533	Suppose she tried to get money out of him by threatening to tell the police?
mdp.39015030718533	Suppose that I am her friend, or pretend to be, and offer her protection until we reach a port where she can be landed? mdp.39015030718533 Suppose you realize that, Eunice, and knew I would give my life — my very soul — to make you happy, would n't that make a dif- ference?"
mdp.39015030718533	Take a seat, will you? mdp.39015030718533 Talk straight, will you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tarn has been murdered, they tell me?
mdp.39015030718533	Tell me again what you said — who is Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	Thank you,she said simply, and then:"You've heard about Jessie's father?"
mdp.39015030718533	That amuses you, eh? mdp.39015030718533 That big, hard- looking house, with its hideous stuffed tigers and its awful- looking swords""Swords?"
mdp.39015030718533	That circular scar on her wrist? mdp.39015030718533 That is a Sumatran sword, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030718533	That is hashish, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	That is how you should feel,he said and went on:"Seen nothing of Mendoza, have you?
mdp.39015030718533	That means you do n't want to see me again, eh? mdp.39015030718533 That you, Bickerson?
mdp.39015030718533	That — that little man?
mdp.39015030718533	That's Groat who owns Kennett Hall, is n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	That's a good sign, anyway,said Lou, and then:"I wonder if he's one of those eccentric millionaires that give dinner- party presents?"
mdp.39015030718533	That's the question — will he squeal? mdp.39015030718533 That's the sort of stuff they try to get past youl He's going to quit in the middle of a picture 1 Did you hear him?
mdp.39015030718533	The Danton millions?
mdp.39015030718533	The Marquis of Estremeda?
mdp.39015030718533	The ancient ran the business, of course?
mdp.39015030718533	The ancient?
mdp.39015030718533	The car was gone, of course, when you were found?
mdp.39015030718533	The case against him has been dropped?
mdp.39015030718533	The caves?
mdp.39015030718533	The chauffeur? mdp.39015030718533 The fact is, Eunice""How did she come in?"
mdp.39015030718533	The gambler?
mdp.39015030718533	The girl is n't in it?
mdp.39015030718533	The key of her room?
mdp.39015030718533	The key?
mdp.39015030718533	The lunatic lady who screams?
mdp.39015030718533	The man spoke to youl Did you recognize his voice?
mdp.39015030718533	The mark of a blue hand?
mdp.39015030718533	The papers will be in order, of course? mdp.39015030718533 The point is, can we get the money now?"
mdp.39015030718533	The point is, will you go along and see this fellow? mdp.39015030718533 The question is, who carried whom?"
mdp.39015030718533	The watch, Digby?
mdp.39015030718533	Theft?
mdp.39015030718533	Then he was the Stanford Corporation? mdp.39015030718533 Then it was you who left the key?"
mdp.39015030718533	Then only Mr. Tupperwill was in danger?
mdp.39015030718533	Then she has seen her?
mdp.39015030718533	Then why not finish your work and let me see what there is to be seen? mdp.39015030718533 Then why not hand him over to the police,"said the uneasy Masters,"and bring him before the justices?
mdp.39015030718533	Then you must like Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	Then you suggest that Miss Marlowe was a party to my doping the brandy? mdp.39015030718533 There are no other erasures?''
mdp.39015030718533	There are three new consignments, the largest in Lon- don, the second largest at Hull"Bonded or through the customs?
mdp.39015030718533	There are two Griff Towers?
mdp.39015030718533	There is one thing which is some business of mine, and that is to ask you why that little white disk appears on Miss Leamington's window?
mdp.39015030718533	There were no blankets hanging on the walls to deaden the sound?
mdp.39015030718533	There'll be carpets that your feet sink into, and diwans"Divans?

mdp.39015030718533	You are perfectly sure that the man who came into the room, the man with the flash lamp, did not speak?
mdp.39015030718533	You are speaking of Miss Marlowe, I presume?
mdp.39015030718533	You are sure he has not been up to any trickery?
mdp.39015030718533	You are sure somebody was in your room?
mdp.39015030718533	You are sure you'd rather go alone?'
mdp.39015030718533	You are sure you're not frightened?

mdp.39015030718533	You came because you heard from South Africa that I had been making inquiries about the girl — she is not in danger?
mdp.39015030718533	You can laugh about the pitchers,said Miss Dame earnestly,"but you get ideas of life out of'em — types, characters — if you understand me?
mdp.39015030718533	You did n't by any chance mention my little tooth- ache jest?
mdp.39015030718533	You did n't by chance find Miss Marlowe in your house, locked up in a cupboard?

mdp.39015030718533	You do n't expect to discover that they are poi- soned, do you?
mdp.39015030718533	You do n't like him?
mdp.39015030718533	You do n't mind my smoke, mother, do you?
mdp.39015030718533	You do n't remember me, Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	You do n't think that the aeroplane will come so far out, do you? mdp.39015030718533 You do n't want to do it here, do you?
mdp.39015030718533	You expected it?
mdp.39015030718533	You get out of the habit of asking ques- tions, will you? mdp.39015030718533 You had some actors staying here the other day?"
mdp.39015030718533	You have a key of the flat; may I have it?
mdp.39015030718533	You have a loud- speaking telephone on your office desk; was that switched off?
mdp.39015030718533	You have an idea that that is just a piece of chicanery and that the hand has no significance?
mdp.39015030718533	You have been wounded?
mdp.39015030718533	You have made a study of these things, Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	You have met some members of the Soyoka gang?
mdp.39015030718533	You have n't been playing the fool, have you?
mdp.39015030718533	You have read his memoirs?
mdp.39015030718533	You heard nothing about Major Amery being locked up in your garage?
mdp.39015030718533	You hoped they would?
mdp.39015030718533	You knew him very well, of course, Miss Leamington?
mdp.39015030718533	You knew it, did you?
mdp.39015030718533	You knew my great- uncle, Bertram Amery, of course?

mdp.39015030718533	You know that I found the weapon in your cup- board?
mdp.39015030718533	You know that Mr. Tarn is n't really my uncle?
mdp.39015030718533	You know that white door leading to the laboratory, miss?
mdp.39015030718533	You know what this place reminds me of, Dame?
mdp.39015030718533	You left home early this morning? mdp.39015030718533 You like him, eh?"
mdp.39015030718533	You love somebody else, I suppose?
mdp.39015030718533	You mean Adele? mdp.39015030718533 You mean Brixan?
mdp.39015030718533	You mean Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	You mean Miss Dame? mdp.39015030718533 You mean Tupperwill's beating?"
mdp.39015030718533	You mean that Eunice is your daughter?
mdp.39015030718533	You mean the scenario writer? mdp.39015030718533 You mean your bedroom?"
mdp.39015030718533	You need not be afraid of that, Mr.Should she call him Mr. Feng or Mr. Ho?
mdp.39015030718533	You obey my instructions, do you hear?
mdp.39015030718533	You phoned Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	You promise me that?
mdp.39015030718533	You remember a sheet of manuscript that was found among some of your script, and which I told you must have been written by The Head- hunter?
mdp.39015030718533	You remember she was born at Rondebosch?
mdp.39015030718533	You remember that we shot some scenes at Griff Towers?
mdp.39015030718533	You saw Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	You saw him at Chichester, though?
mdp.39015030718533	You saw no number on the car?
mdp.39015030718533	You saw something, Brixan — was it a face?
mdp.39015030718533	You saw that? mdp.39015030718533 You say that?
mdp.39015030718533	You still think Feng Ho was with him when he died?
mdp.39015030718533	You tell that story, too, do you, about them being taken away? mdp.39015030718533 You think I'm going to conduct a quiet little search of my own, eh, without the formality of a warrant?
mdp.39015030718533	You think I'm perfectly horrible, do you? mdp.39015030718533 You think you were leaving a clue for your lover, I suppose?"
mdp.39015030718533	You thought that Sir Gregory had taken them as a souvenir?
mdp.39015030718533	You understand?
mdp.39015030718533	You want to see me, do you? mdp.39015030718533 You wanted to examine my books?"

mdp.39015030718533	You're not drinking?
mdp.39015030718533	You're not going to persuade me you did n't hear?

mdp.39015030718533	304 THE HAIRY ARM"Where is Gregory Penne?"
mdp.39015030718533	324 THE SINISTER MAN"Will you do me one favor?"
mdp.39015030718533	6 BLUE HAND"I realize that, sir,"said Jim Steele quietly,"only""Only what?"
mdp.39015030718533	70 THE HAIRY ARM"Did you see it?"
mdp.39015030718533	70"THE SCANDAL OF SHANGHAI"71"Have you any friends in Shanghai?"
mdp.39015030718533	A new one on you?"
mdp.39015030718533	A powerful- looking fellow, eh?
mdp.39015030718533	About whom?"
mdp.39015030718533	After""After?"
mdp.39015030718533	Again the banker appeared lost in thought"Would you object greatly if I accompanied you to this inquest?
mdp.39015030718533	Ai n't I got all the informa- tion possible about him?
mdp.39015030718533	Almost the first question that the lawyer asked him was:"Have you investigated Selengers?"
mdp.39015030718533	Am I right?"
mdp.39015030718533	Amery?"
mdp.39015030718533	Amery?"
mdp.39015030718533	An enemy, Major Amery?"
mdp.39015030718533	And Bhag had escaped — from whom?
mdp.39015030718533	And Bronson, does he go with you?"
mdp.39015030718533	And about taking the money?
mdp.39015030718533	And did you see the evening newspapers?
mdp.39015030718533	And did you think I was mad to send you those chocolates?
mdp.39015030718533	And incense — incense comes from India, does n't it, Miss Marlowe?
mdp.39015030718533	And is that the new police theory, that Mr. Maurice Tarn died of opium poisoning?
mdp.39015030718533	And now you can tell me, what is the meaning of that scream I heard from your tower?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then impatiently: “ When is that girl coming?
mdp.39015030718533	And then, as though the thought occurred to her, but was too preposterous to entertain:"You're not expecting me to vary my story?
mdp.39015030718533	And then, with his usual unexpectedness:"Do you want any money?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"Bit of a tough case, that of Mr. Tupperwill's the other night?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"How on earth did you know?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"So he told you my guilty secret?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"What has Amery been doing all the morning?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"When is the adjourned inquest?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"Where is Adele Leamington?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"Who would know?"
mdp.39015030718533	And then:"You told me you knew nothing of Stanford's?"
mdp.39015030718533	And this Leamington girl — she's simply going to mess up the picture, by Jove1""Is she, by Jove?"
mdp.39015030718533	And to what other indiscretion, if it were an indiscretion, can this note refer?
mdp.39015030718533	And were you a witness to the murder of my friend Villa?"
mdp.39015030718533	And what does he know?"
mdp.39015030718533	And what if I were?
mdp.39015030718533	And what was he doing there?"
mdp.39015030718533	And what was the story which lay behind it?
mdp.39015030718533	And what's the use of swearing?
mdp.39015030718533	And when she cornes here, what happens?
mdp.39015030718533	And where was the baronet?
mdp.39015030718533	And why had he not returned to Griff Towers and to his master?
mdp.39015030718533	And why should I want to dope him?"
mdp.39015030718533	And why should n't they?
mdp.39015030718533	And yet I've known a few good detectives in my time, perfect gentlemen, but secret- service agents, if you understand?
mdp.39015030718533	And yet what was he doing there in the house?
mdp.39015030718533	And yet, suppose the old man had left particulars of his nefarious interests, and a legal claim arose?
mdp.39015030718533	And you did promise me a com- pany, Gregory; I suppose you've forgotten that?"
mdp.39015030718533	And you thought you saw him yourself, did n't you, Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	And, while we are on that subject, Mr. Kneb- worth, are you perfectly sure that I'm to blame?
mdp.39015030718533	Are there any caves near by?"
mdp.39015030718533	Are there no processes we can set in motion to pull him down?"
mdp.39015030718533	Are these the caves?
mdp.39015030718533	Are you feel- ing pretty confident about the picture?"
mdp.39015030718533	Are you going to forgive me?"
mdp.39015030718533	Are you going to stay the night?
mdp.39015030718533	Are you his doctor?"
mdp.39015030718533	Are you staying on at the hotel?"
mdp.39015030718533	Are you stringing him?"
mdp.39015030718533	At his worst he wa?
mdp.39015030718533	At last it became so unendurable that she groaned, and a voice near her — an anxious voice, she thought — said:"Have you any pain?"
mdp.39015030718533	At nine o'clock, you say?
mdp.39015030718533	At- tached to.the political service, is n't he?"
mdp.39015030718533	BLUE HAND 11"Finger prints, eh?"
mdp.39015030718533	BLUE HAND 145"Do you know, Eunice, that I have an uncanny feeling that you really are in some way associated with the Danton fortune?"
mdp.39015030718533	BLUE HAND 65"Do you know who that somebody else was?"
mdp.39015030718533	BLUE HAND 7"Faith?
mdp.39015030718533	BLUEHAND 29"Why what?"
mdp.39015030718533	BLUEHAND 39"Have n't you finished taking the glass out of his paw?"
mdp.39015030718533	Bachelor of Science?"
mdp.39015030718533	Besides, we're both in it What does it matter — one more or less?"
mdp.39015030718533	Bickerson""Has n't anybody tried to straighten Bickerson?"
mdp.39015030718533	Bickerson?"
mdp.39015030718533	Bring something for Miss Marlowe,"ordered Doctor Ralph Hallam, and, when his man had gone, he asked anxiously:"What is wrong?"
mdp.39015030718533	Brixan?"
mdp.39015030718533	Brixan?"
mdp.39015030718533	Brixan?"

mdp.39015030718533	Brixan?"
mdp.39015030718533	Bronson is one, Fuentes and Silva are the others; they are known to you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Brought my little girl, eh?"
mdp.39015030718533	But a quarrel?
mdp.39015030718533	But how?"
mdp.39015030718533	But principally I want to know why you left me with a beggarly twenty- thousand pounds to face the world?"
mdp.39015030718533	But sorely yon do n't want me to go after him?
mdp.39015030718533	But what does Gregory care about Michael or any other man?
mdp.39015030718533	But where did all that money come from?
mdp.39015030718533	But where was she?
mdp.39015030718533	But whether I do or not, I'm going to meet an extra — ain't that grand?"
mdp.39015030718533	But who else was concerned?
mdp.39015030718533	But why?
mdp.39015030718533	By the way, Brixan, why do n't you make this your head- quarters?
mdp.39015030718533	By the way, did you see friend Hallam?"
mdp.39015030718533	By the way, you have a black box at home, have n't you, belonging to Tarn — a box with trays in it?"
mdp.39015030718533	By the way,"he said,"do you ever have toothache?"

mdp.39015030718533	For inside the hat were the initials"L. F."How came the hat of Lawley Foss on the head of the brown man from Borneo?
mdp.39015030718533	Foss went a dull red"What do you mean by'less risky?'"
mdp.39015030718533	Foss, you've marked the rooms?"
mdp.39015030718533	Four packets of that awful stuff! ” “ Opium? ” “ I do n't know what it was; I think it was cocaine.
mdp.39015030718533	Four packets? ” He whistled softly.
mdp.39015030718533	From each rod projected a? hort, light, steel bracket.
mdp.39015030718533	From which tunnel would it emerge?

mdp.39015030718533	Glancing back, he saw two men, as leisurely a?
mdp.39015030718533	Good Lord, you do n't suppose he feels friendly towards you, do you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Good gracious, have I been asleep all my life?
mdp.39015030718533	Good lord,"scoffed the other,"you do n't suppose I'm going to waste money on chloroform for a dog, do you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Groat?"
mdp.39015030718533	Groat?"
mdp.39015030718533	Groat?"
mdp.39015030718533	Groat?"
mdp.39015030718533	Had Maurice Tarn been engaged in peculation on the grand scale?

mdp.39015030718533	He did n't see me?
mdp.39015030718533	He growled something under his breath and asked:"Nothing else?"
mdp.39015030718533	He has n't told you?"
mdp.39015030718533	He is not by any chance connected with Tarn's firm, is he?"
mdp.39015030718533	He never raised his voice; he did not display his impatience, but his"Yes?"
mdp.39015030718533	He waited until the door closed behind the girl and then:"Where is that watch?"
mdp.39015030718533	He was apparently absorbed in the deviled chicken he was cutting into microscopic pieces, for presently he asked:"Is there anything in the paper?"
mdp.39015030718533	He was not her idea of a detective, and why was he staying in Chichester?
mdp.39015030718533	He's a clerk, is n't he?"
mdp.39015030718533	He's not the man you're looking for?"
mdp.39015030718533	He's scared of Soyoka's crowd. ” “ What's that? ” The officer checked his step and stared at the other in wonder.

mdp.39015030718533	How did they know it was Villa?"
mdp.39015030718533	How did this creature know her name?
mdp.39015030718533	How did this man know- Maurice Tarn's little week- end cottage on the upper reaches of the Thames?
mdp.39015030718533	How did you finally escape?"
mdp.39015030718533	How did you know I was a doctor?"
mdp.39015030718533	How did you know I was a member of the Mispah?"
mdp.39015030718533	How does it work?"
mdp.39015030718533	How far are we from the coast?"
mdp.39015030718533	How far did the cave extend?
mdp.39015030718533	How had he got in?
mdp.39015030718533	How had she got to South Africa?
mdp.39015030718533	How have you employed it?
mdp.39015030718533	How long would it be before Digby Groat came?
mdp.39015030718533	How was I to know that the lady was n't his wife who'd run away with you?"
mdp.39015030718533	How?
mdp.39015030718533	I dare say you yourself have suffered from the inefficiency of subordinates in little matters?"
mdp.39015030718533	I did n't tell him. ” “ How did he know, unless you betrayed yourself? ” “ I tell you I did n't!
mdp.39015030718533	I do n't re- member your name?"
mdp.39015030718533	I do n't think that's her real name, do you?
mdp.39015030718533	I do n't think you'll be able to sleep here,"he said, changing the subject,"but I sup- pose you'll be going back to London?"
mdp.39015030718533	I guess the shooting worried you more?"
mdp.39015030718533	I have n't told the police""Why not?"
mdp.39015030718533	I presume you were referring to the play and not to the interior of the tower? ” She nodded, a twinkle in her eye.
mdp.39015030718533	I seem to remember a small black- handled knife — had not that something to do with his lamented death?"
mdp.39015030718533	I should never have guessed he was an Englishman: he looks more like a Latin, do n't you think, Lord Waltham?"
mdp.39015030718533	I sup- pose Bickerson came to see you?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose Amery has some little humanity left in his system and has let you off for the day?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose he thought it was funny?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose it is one of Knebworth's outfits?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you hear fragments of gossip — yes?''
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you know that?
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you know you're liable to a severe penalty?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you think I am a pretty tough case?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you think those are queer senti- ments coming from Soyoka's right- hand man?"
mdp.39015030718533	I suppose you're looking forward to meeting old What's- his- name •vgain?"
mdp.39015030718533	I think?"
mdp.39015030718533	I wonder if it's the same?
mdp.39015030718533	I wonder what she knows about Digby?"
mdp.39015030718533	I'll go and see, if you like?"
mdp.39015030718533	I'm bothering you, being here, am I not?"
mdp.39015030718533	I'm not complaining about that; but you're making big money, and I'm wondering how?
mdp.39015030718533	I've made life pretty agreeable to you, have n't I, Lou?"
mdp.39015030718533	If I find Lady Mary, you say that I shall be no nearer to frustrating the Groats?"
mdp.39015030718533	If Tupperwill asks you whether I know where you have gone, you will tell him?"
mdp.39015030718533	In doing so he stumbled over a stool THE MIDNIGHT VISIT 145"Who's there?"
mdp.39015030718533	In one of those drawers?"
mdp.39015030718533	In spite of herself, she asked:"Where is the man?"
mdp.39015030718533	In the ash can it would have been damning, I suppose?
mdp.39015030718533	Is Major Amery in?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is any- thing really wrong?
mdp.39015030718533	Is everything all right, Bennett?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is he here?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is he known to the police?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is it some line of Virgil that escapes you?
mdp.39015030718533	Is n't it hideously un- believable?
mdp.39015030718533	Is n't she here?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is n't that her name — Adele Leam- ington?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is she a servant?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is she less attractive than you had imagined?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is she staying here for life? ” “ She'll be going in a day or two.
mdp.39015030718533	Is that plain?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is that right?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is that too much?"
mdp.39015030718533	Is that why he hangs around the lot?
mdp.39015030718533	Is that you, Brixan? ” “ It is I.
mdp.39015030718533	Is the game slipping?"
mdp.39015030718533	It had five wooden trays, one on top of the other — that's what you call them over here, is n't it — trays?"
mdp.39015030718533	It must have been somewhere between the Towers and the old man's house, unless —""Unless what?"
mdp.39015030718533	It smells horribly earthy, does n't it?
mdp.39015030718533	It was identi- cally worded like its predecessor: Is your trouble of mind or body incurable?
mdp.39015030718533	It was n't very painful, was it?"
mdp.39015030718533	It was your money, of course?
mdp.39015030718533	It's not Paul Amery of the Indian political service, by any chance?
mdp.39015030718533	Jane Groat dead?"
mdp.39015030718533	Jim, does n't that make a difference?"
mdp.39015030718533	Jim?"
mdp.39015030718533	Just sit down there, will you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth's?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	Knebworth?"
mdp.39015030718533	LAUDANUM 155"Was it Mr. Tupperwill, or the excellent Doctor Hal- toin?"
mdp.39015030718533	Like the girl in the storybook?"
mdp.39015030718533	Longvale?"
mdp.39015030718533	MAJOR AMERY IS SURPRISED 217 astonishment:"You did n't know he was married?
mdp.39015030718533	MR. LAWLEY FOSS 35"What do you make of that fellow?"
mdp.39015030718533	MR. TUPPERWILL SEEKS ADVICE 265"If you think this man has stolen it,"said Amery, with a weary sigh,"why do n't you call in the police?"
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery has n't come?"
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery in?"
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	Major Amery?"
mdp.39015030718533	May I see Miss Marlowe?''
mdp.39015030718533	Michael took it and read: Is your trouble of mind or body incurable?
mdp.39015030718533	Michael was taking his leave when he sud- denly asked:"I wonder if it would give you too much trouble, Mr. Longvale, to get me a glass of water?
mdp.39015030718533	Mike, did you know Elmer?"
mdp.39015030718533	Miss Marlowe — when are you coming home to have a cup of tea?
mdp.39015030718533	Mr. Brixan lives with him. ” “ Do n’t I know it?
mdp.39015030718533	My uncle stole it — is that the mystery?"
mdp.39015030718533	Myself and who?"
mdp.39015030718533	No — why?"
mdp.39015030718533	No — yes, of course he was Groat, who else could he be; who else?"
mdp.39015030718533	Not Major Amery's Feng Ho?"
mdp.39015030718533	Not Ralph — not Doctor Hallam?
mdp.39015030718533	Notice him smelling 58 THE HAIRY ARM his hand?
mdp.39015030718533	Now do you understand?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now is n't that nice of her?
mdp.39015030718533	Now is that clear to you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now what have you got for me?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now what is the theory you wanted to give me?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now what is your little game?''
mdp.39015030718533	Now what is your news?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now where shall I begin?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now, Mr. Brixan, what is the trouble?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now, Mr. Brixan, what would you like us to do?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now, are there any questions you would like to ask me, Major?"
mdp.39015030718533	Now, do you understand?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, Brixan, vou mean?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you mean his rubber shoes?"
mdp.39015030718533	Oh, you mean the laudanum?
mdp.39015030718533	Or Foss?"
mdp.39015030718533	Or am I called away into the country?"
mdp.39015030718533	Or maybe you were holding down a good job as a stenographer and got it under your hat that you'd make Hollywood feel small if you got your chance?
mdp.39015030718533	Otherwise, how would he have known where to look in the books for the consignments we've had?
mdp.39015030718533	Ought she to read it, she wondered?
mdp.39015030718533	Paul Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	Perhaps Major Amery will be able to tell us how it was taken?"
mdp.39015030718533	Perhaps yon and 66 THE HAIRY ARM your friends would like to have your tea there?"
mdp.39015030718533	Perhaps you will tell me, Mr. Groat, why this lady is reduced to such a condition?"
mdp.39015030718533	Perhaps, Mr. Tupper- will, you will come along and see my photographs?"
mdp.39015030718533	Presumably you will be able to account for every minute of your movements last night?"
mdp.39015030718533	Put paint and powder on your face and all that sort of thing?
mdp.39015030718533	Quarreled with Amery — that's the Indian fellow?"
mdp.39015030718533	Queer old devil — doesn't he bore you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Ralph, what are you doing nowadays?"
mdp.39015030718533	Ralph, you do n't imagine that he would have taken it, do you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Say, Brixan, would you like to play opposite this girl of mine?
mdp.39015030718533	Say, go out somewhere and study it, wfll you?
mdp.39015030718533	Shall I come in the morning — or I can start today?"
mdp.39015030718533	Shall I come round and see you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Shall I walk with you to the car?"
mdp.39015030718533	She interests you, too?"
mdp.39015030718533	She is n't annoying you?
mdp.39015030718533	She took down from a shelf a small Browning"Did you ever fire a pistol?"
mdp.39015030718533	She was one of his two children, was n't she?"
mdp.39015030718533	She was safe, but why were they going out of Lon- don?
mdp.39015030718533	She was silent for a time, and then:"Why are you still here?
mdp.39015030718533	She was to be carried off to a yacht, and the yacht was to take her — where?
mdp.39015030718533	She was wondering what was coming next: would he offer to sell his master at a price?
mdp.39015030718533	She'd come with you, eh?"
mdp.39015030718533	She's a bit shy, is n't she? ” “ I ’ll let you know, ” he said and hung up.
mdp.39015030718533	She's a nice girl, eh?
mdp.39015030718533	She's rather a charming girl, do n't you think?"
mdp.39015030718533	Should she go downstairs and tell Digby Groat?
mdp.39015030718533	Should she go out to meet and warn him?
mdp.39015030718533	Should she tell him?
mdp.39015030718533	Should we not both receive a share of the great reward?"
mdp.39015030718533	Sir CLEWS AT THE TOWER 171 Gregory Penne did not recognize him in the darkness and called again:"Who's there?"
mdp.39015030718533	So she went away?
mdp.39015030718533	So she'd be an accessory after the fact, would she?
mdp.39015030718533	So they would threaten him, would they?
mdp.39015030718533	So you like our yacht — our honeymoon yacht?"
mdp.39015030718533	So you're working with Amery, are you, young lady?
mdp.39015030718533	Something pleasant, I hope?"
mdp.39015030718533	Sort of chorus boy?
mdp.39015030718533	South America, of course?
mdp.39015030718533	Steele?"
mdp.39015030718533	Steele?"
mdp.39015030718533	Street accident?"
mdp.39015030718533	Studying dactyl- ology?"
mdp.39015030718533	Suppose he — well, did away with the body — buried it — and let the matter slide?
mdp.39015030718533	Suppose his mother died, he thought, and the question of a will arose?
mdp.39015030718533	THE DEATH 327 How had Adele got into the cave?
mdp.39015030718533	THE FOUR BROWN PACKETS 231"For what crime?"
mdp.39015030718533	THE NEW CHAUFFEUR 249 ing to see me?
mdp.39015030718533	Tarn?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tarn?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tarn?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tarn?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tarn?"
mdp.39015030718533	That means you've been able to get in and out as you liked""In other words, I've stolen your money?"
mdp.39015030718533	That pleasant bore, engaged in a criminal conspiracy?
mdp.39015030718533	That sounds alarming, does n't it?"
mdp.39015030718533	That's candid, is n't it?"
mdp.39015030718533	The fact that the bottle was found in the bushes makes it look suspicious, eh?
mdp.39015030718533	The magistrate'"'The magistrate?'
mdp.39015030718533	The man who got into trouble at Shanghai?"
mdp.39015030718533	The movement of the carriage threw him down and he all but fell over the? ide, but gripping to a ventilator, he managed to scramble to his knees.
mdp.39015030718533	The police will get us out of this, wo n't they?"
mdp.39015030718533	The rooms at the top of the house are furnished?"
mdp.39015030718533	The stuff is in the box, of course?
mdp.39015030718533	The window?
mdp.39015030718533	Then she had gone away with this Marquis?
mdp.39015030718533	Then:"You're a friend of Mr. Tarn's, are n't you?"
mdp.39015030718533	There is n't room for two — is that clear to you?"
mdp.39015030718533	There was time for him to go back to Rugby and inform the police, but —"Where is Fuentes?"
mdp.39015030718533	There's a statute of limitations, is n't there?"
mdp.39015030718533	There's another man on point duty farther along, is n't there?"
mdp.39015030718533	They ca n't make a wife tell — you understand?
mdp.39015030718533	They met at the end of the drive, and Bronson and his master, speaking together, made the same inquiry in identical terms:"Where is Vffla?"
mdp.39015030718533	They must have gone out of the front door — whither?
mdp.39015030718533	They tell me you have been'doubling'for me?"
mdp.39015030718533	This gentleman is the chief?"
mdp.39015030718533	To Digby Groat?
mdp.39015030718533	To his surprise the officer answered:"Bhag?
mdp.39015030718533	To whom do you say the money was left?"
mdp.39015030718533	Trene is your maiden name, if I remember rightly?
mdp.39015030718533	Tuckerwill?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tupperwill, who is John Still- man?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tupperwill?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tupperwill?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tupperwill?"
mdp.39015030718533	Tupperwill?"
mdp.39015030718533	Two hundred, is it?
mdp.39015030718533	Villa?"
mdp.39015030718533	Wages good?"
mdp.39015030718533	Was I not in the room, search- ing, when he came in?
mdp.39015030718533	Was Stella there?
mdp.39015030718533	Was The Head- ua A SUGGESTION 123 hunter, the murderer, living near Chichester?
mdp.39015030718533	Was he being sarcastic?
mdp.39015030718533	Was he stalking somebody?
mdp.39015030718533	Was he there?"
mdp.39015030718533	Was he watching Mrs. Hallam as well as her husband, occupying his spare time by a closer inspection of her belongings?
mdp.39015030718533	Was he worried?"
mdp.39015030718533	Was her moral code so loose that she could condone one crime of which she had proof and another which she suspected?
mdp.39015030718533	Was it a quiet laugh she heard?
mdp.39015030718533	Was it an illusion of hers, she wondered?
mdp.39015030718533	Was it somebody outside the door that had wakened her?
mdp.39015030718533	Was it you?"
mdp.39015030718533	Was she being subjected to this process, and was this the result?
mdp.39015030718533	Was she in it, after all?
mdp.39015030718533	Was she mistaken in imagining an undercurrent of anxiety and concern in his voice?
mdp.39015030718533	Was that Bhag?"
mdp.39015030718533	Was that his way of going pale?
mdp.39015030718533	Was that the explanation of Feng Ho's presence near Herbert Mansions?
mdp.39015030718533	Was that the reason for his queer secretiveness?
mdp.39015030718533	Was there an undercurrent of mockery in his tone?
mdp.39015030718533	Was there any chance of escape, she wondered?
mdp.39015030718533	Was there the usual note?"
mdp.39015030718533	Was this wretched man, who had so easily assumed terms of equality, amus- ing himself at her expense?
mdp.39015030718533	We have been much greater friends than we are at the present moment,""What's the matter with him?"
mdp.39015030718533	Well?
mdp.39015030718533	Well?"
mdp.39015030718533	Were the po- lice already stirring against him, or was this some pri- vate watcher of Salter's?
mdp.39015030718533	What I meant was, how are you getting it?
mdp.39015030718533	What are they like?"
mdp.39015030718533	What are they?
mdp.39015030718533	What are we to do with her?"
mdp.39015030718533	What are you blushing about — is it a girl?"
mdp.39015030718533	What are you going to do about Mr. Reggie Connolly?"
mdp.39015030718533	What are you shooting — elephants?"
mdp.39015030718533	What could he do?
mdp.39015030718533	What could it be?
mdp.39015030718533	What did he say, Miss Marlowe?
mdp.39015030718533	What did he want to see you about — Tupperwill, I mean?"

mdp.39015030718533	did you?
mdp.39015030718533	growled Mr. Salter, looking at the papers on the desk, and then with a"tut"of impatience,"are n't you tired of going over the Dan- ton case?"
mdp.39015030718533	he hissed across the table,"ca n't you break yourself of that habit?"
mdp.39015030718533	he still thought she was in the cellar — and, just as the parson was going to say"Who will take this woman to be his wedded wife?'
mdp.39015030718533	is it?"

mdp.39015030718533	said Bickerson quickly,"How was he dressed?"
mdp.39015030718533	said Digby Groat,"and the remainder to — somebody else?"
mdp.39015030718533	said Jane Groat returning to her contemplation of the window, then, when Eunice was waiting for her dismissal,"Are you a great friend of my son's?"

mdp.39015030718533	to ask you whether, if that document were placed in your hands, it would be of any service to you or to me?"
mdp.39015030718533	where?
mdp.39015030718533	where?
mdp.39015030718533	with Major Amery?
mdp.39015030718533	“ A letter for me?
mdp.39015030718533	“ Adele?
mdp.39015030718533	“ Ai n’t seen Mr. Brixan, Miss? ” said a high- pitched voice, as she reached the sidewalk.
mdp.39015030718533	“ And you washed them away, did you? ” “ Yes, ” she said shortly and was preparing to go back to her work.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Ankles? ” He hazarded a guess at random — a safe guess, for Knebworth had views about ankles.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Are you hurt? ” he asked in a low voice.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Did you lose anything? ” “ No, that is the curious thing.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Did you report it to the police? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Do you mind if I join you? ” “ Come right in, ” said Michael heartily.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Do you? ” Ralph shook his head.
mdp.39015030718533	“ For me? ” he said, indicating the letter in the man's hand.
mdp.39015030718533	“ How do you know it is his? ” MAJOR AMERY GOES OUT 273 cused.
mdp.39015030718533	“ I did n't hit him, did I? ” With an effort she found the husk of a voice in her dry throat.
mdp.39015030718533	“ If he was in London I should n’t be hanging around here, should I?
mdp.39015030718533	“ Inside the tower?
mdp.39015030718533	“ Is she somebody you know? ” asked Ralph, who had observed the effect this strange spectacle had upon her.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Nothing funny will happen ours in the rain? ”- “ Oh no, ” said Bronson.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Soyoka — what do you know of that gang anyway? ” he demanded.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What did he say? ” But Bickerson was so overwhelmed by that whispered word that he did not answer.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What did you find? ” “ Oh, Major Amery, why do you pretend? ” she burst forth.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What did you find? ” “ Oh, Major Amery, why do you pretend? ” she burst forth.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What did you think of me?
mdp.39015030718533	“ What else did Amery say? ” “ Nothing, ” she exploded, “ except, of course, he knows that I'm your wife.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What is inside? ” he pointed.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What is it? ” asked Digby.
mdp.39015030718533	“ What's the shooting?
mdp.39015030718533	“ Where is the girl — does she live in the same house? ” he asked.
mdp.39015030718533	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” Mr. Tupperwill lifted the tails of his frock coat and sat gingerly.
mdp.39015030718533	“ You can have an overdraft, of course, my dear fel- low, but — ” “ There is a ‘ but ’ to it, then? ” said Ralph, a little irri- tated.
mdp.39015030718533	“ You did that, of course? ” She nodded.
mdp.39015030718533	“ ght has he? ” he demanded savagely.
mdp.39015030718533	••Where is your master?"
osu.32435002375178	And what does he do? osu.32435002375178 And what is that?"
osu.32435002375178	Do n't you want me to come up to the top and wait, sir? ” he asked. osu.32435002375178 First- was Charles Taplin a wealthy man?"
osu.32435002375178	I hope nothing of value, Lady Louisa? osu.32435002375178 Is- is her name Honoria?'
osu.32435002375178	Not Stella Manning? osu.32435002375178 When, Lady Langthwaite, did you mention to Captain Molesworth that you had this money and your personal jewellery in the jewel- case?
osu.32435002375178	You think some poison may have been intro- duced into whatever the cellaret contains, eh, Major? osu.32435002375178 You'll tell all that at the adjourned inquest, I suppose?"
osu.32435002375178	'You have n't any idea where the grey- bearded man who calls himself Mendoba is?"
osu.32435002375178	("Why?
osu.32435002375178	- Shaftesbury Avenue, on this particular day of October, 191-?
osu.32435002375178	109 “ Will you take ten thousand?"
osu.32435002375178	135 Why unfortunately?
osu.32435002375178	163 And nothing has happened to enlighten you?
osu.32435002375178	21 your trunks?
osu.32435002375178	255 “ How does he know that I do n't want to expose him and his place?
osu.32435002375178	29 away with'Did he ask you what money you could bring you? ” I went on.'
osu.32435002375178	41 “ I suppose that is why you have brought me here, Mr. Harthwaite? ” I said.
osu.32435002375178	66 “ A racing night? ” I said questioningly.
osu.32435002375178	79 Major Valentine?
osu.32435002375178	89"A jury?
osu.32435002375178	99 “ Were there many others in the lavatory at the time?"
osu.32435002375178	Again?
osu.32435002375178	Am I right in believing you guilty?
osu.32435002375178	An old pocket- book, Campenhaye; but it contains about fifteen hundred pounds in banknotes. ” “ Will your Grace give me the details?"
osu.32435002375178	And Mrs. Duquesne was, I am sorry to say, indignant, and perhaps somewhat unreasonable. ” “ What followed?"
osu.32435002375178	And again"Before I could proceed further, there came sounds outside the door; a deep voice said, “ This room?"
osu.32435002375178	And no doubt, you know, Killingley, where mademoiselle has her habitation in London, where she can be found, eh?"
osu.32435002375178	And now the question was — Who sent the grapes?
osu.32435002375178	And suspected nothing? ” I suggested.
osu.32435002375178	And the bank was not the only loser. ” Townspeople, eh? ” I suggested.
osu.32435002375178	And the rest of the house- 1 party? ” “ My aunt, of course is still here,"he said.
osu.32435002375178	And this morning I only answered the door twice. ” “ Who came? ” I asked her.
osu.32435002375178	And what do you think's troubling him, Mr. Campenhaye?"
osu.32435002375178	And when did you last see him alive?
osu.32435002375178	And, first of all, who advised you not to mention your loss to the railway authorities and the police?
osu.32435002375178	Are you coming? ” • Not until I've had a look round,"I replied.
osu.32435002375178	Armstead?"
osu.32435002375178	As he rose so early that morning, it would be some servant, I suppose?"
osu.32435002375178	Barney spoke before I could say a word:"You're going through to Euston, of course?"
osu.32435002375178	Belongs to the late Dr. Allison's daughter, eh? ” I said.
osu.32435002375178	But I myself?
osu.32435002375178	But after I had seen that, I gave my attention to you. ” Why to me?"
osu.32435002375178	But how am I to call you?
osu.32435002375178	But how did I come there?
osu.32435002375178	But how was Mr. Becker killed?
osu.32435002375178	But how?"
osu.32435002375178	But if it was where was Antoinette?
osu.32435002375178	But once more-- how did I come to be in it?
osu.32435002375178	But what was I yet to hear from Major Valentine?
osu.32435002375178	But when — where?
osu.32435002375178	But where was that Frenchwoman- Antoin- ette?
osu.32435002375178	But where?-I suppose somewhere in the house or about the grounds.
osu.32435002375178	But, when, where, and how?
osu.32435002375178	But- what can I tell you, Mr. Campenhaye?
osu.32435002375178	By the by, I think I have heard that Miss Allison used to help her father in his very interesting experiments in poisons?
osu.32435002375178	Campenhaye, you do n't think she did this — you do n't?
osu.32435002375178	Campenhaye, ” said Danthorpe, “ what do you think of that?
osu.32435002375178	Can you not go to Lord Langthwaite, invent some little story of a sudden necessity for coming to town, and of bringing the pearls with you for safety?
osu.32435002375178	Cash or book, sir? ” he enquired.
osu.32435002375178	Cer- tainly, it's a new trail. ” “ And Mendoba's here in London? ” I asked, greatly surprised.
osu.32435002375178	Come, now? ” He sank limply into the seat and stared at me still more.
osu.32435002375178	Come, shall we take him into our confidence?"
osu.32435002375178	Did he know whether Meadows- whom he knew quite well-- and Lewes were acquainted while at Portland?
osu.32435002375178	Did he really think that I was to be taken in by it?
osu.32435002375178	Did it look as if it had been tampered with?"
osu.32435002375178	Did you ever hear of the Magician of Cannon Street?'
osu.32435002375178	Do n't you wish you'd never tracked me down, Campenhaye? ” There came a morning when no one came near me.
osu.32435002375178	First, had your brother any enemies?"
osu.32435002375178	Flown? ” he said."
osu.32435002375178	Harthwaite?"
osu.32435002375178	He had no secrets, no enemies, no mysteries?
osu.32435002375178	He said, would you follow him there? ” Come on, Tregarthen,"I said, wheeling my 278 PAUL CAMPENHAYE.
osu.32435002375178	He was found a little time after, lying in the street, unconscious. ” “ Violence?"
osu.32435002375178	Her name?
osu.32435002375178	Here the element of pure chance is paramount. ” “ You back a horse? ” “ You can do which you like.
osu.32435002375178	How does the thing strike you, Campenhaye?'
osu.32435002375178	How long since was that?
osu.32435002375178	I am going to town myself by the midnight mail, and I will call on you-- Wellington Barracks, I think?-at noon to- morrow.
osu.32435002375178	I dare not~ dare not tell Lord Langthwaite-- it would kill me! ” “ Dare not tell him — what, Lady Langthwaite?
osu.32435002375178	I did n't take any particular notice of them. ”'Has your Grace the numbers of the notes?'
osu.32435002375178	I have wondered?"
osu.32435002375178	I know it was there when I hung my overcoat up, because I saw it protruding above the top of the pocket. ” “ And when did your Grace miss it?
osu.32435002375178	I say, why, Mr. Harth- waite?"
osu.32435002375178	I suppose you were exploring the Head?"
osu.32435002375178	I take it that you have read of the affair in Shaftesbury Avenue, mademoiselle?"
osu.32435002375178	I think I've shown you the Earl of Lowthorpe's place, have n't I? ” “ Oh, yes, I remember it very well, ” I answered.
osu.32435002375178	I think — all the same, there are n't any signs of any foul play, are there, Campenhaye?'
osu.32435002375178	I thought that the Bianchi might- might be up to all sorts of games- eh?
osu.32435002375178	I went upstairs to get it, intending to take it to Saxonstowe myself. ”-"Was it where you had placed it?
osu.32435002375178	I will take fourteen thousand- cash. ” “ In other words,"said I, “ you want to split the difference?"
osu.32435002375178	I wonder what they mean?'
osu.32435002375178	I-- you may think me a fool, Mr. Campenhaye, but how do I know that he is n't impressing this conviction upon me- from- from beyond?
osu.32435002375178	If he and the maid were in collusion, what better proof of your innocence can you have?
osu.32435002375178	Killingley, you remember Mr. Tregarthen?'
osu.32435002375178	Let me see, now- how long would it take for Becker to walk from your place to his flat?
osu.32435002375178	Man or woman?
osu.32435002375178	Miss Manning accepted this challenge at once. ” Readily?
osu.32435002375178	Monsieur Campenhaye, what shall I do? ” I remained silent for some time, thinking.
osu.32435002375178	Mr. Manning know that his sister's ring was set with diamonds?"
osu.32435002375178	Mrs. Duquesne may aspire to the rank of a duchess?"
osu.32435002375178	My news is very serious. ” “ You have heard of Antoinette?"
osu.32435002375178	Nothing's been touched in this room, I suppose?
osu.32435002375178	Now, I want to ask your Grace frankly- do you think Mrs. Duquesne has a prejudice against Miss Manning?
osu.32435002375178	Now, I wonder how many of them there are on the market?
osu.32435002375178	Now, Major Valentine, is it not the fact that as soon as you discovered that the maid was dead you suspected foul play?"
osu.32435002375178	Now, after you entered that room, did you leave him alone in it?"
osu.32435002375178	Now, are you staying in town, or returning to Saxonstowe?"
osu.32435002375178	Now, just tell me what you know of this Ollershaw-what sort of man is he? ” The optician made a strong effort to be calm.
osu.32435002375178	Now, tell me, where were you standing or sitting when you received and opened your sister's registered packet, and what did> you do?"
osu.32435002375178	Now, what about the people who suspected Meadows?
osu.32435002375178	Now, what did the jewel- case contain?"
osu.32435002375178	Now, what is the result of the autopsy? ”"Well, ” he replied, shaking his head,"there's no manifest proof of any cause of death!
osu.32435002375178	Now, you, gentlemen, do not know what this marking is? ” We shook our heads.
osu.32435002375178	Of course you do n't know who that man is?"
osu.32435002375178	Oh, I say, will it come to that?"
osu.32435002375178	On, monsieur, how did you even find out that I had been there?
osu.32435002375178	Perhaps it is- shall we say, instinct?
osu.32435002375178	Robbed?"
osu.32435002375178	Second- have you any idea who gets his money?"
osu.32435002375178	Seen or heard anything? ” he continued, when we had found the compartment and settled ourselves.
osu.32435002375178	Shall I be of any use to you?
osu.32435002375178	Some- thing in the set of his shoulders, the turn of the lips, suggested a sullen defiance, an indefinable dislike of- what?
osu.32435002375178	Tell me, straight out, do you know who killed Becker?"
osu.32435002375178	That is all, except for your signature. ” “ But to whom is this to be delivered? ” he asked.
osu.32435002375178	That you have lost the pearls, or that you were run- ning away with Captain Molesworth?
osu.32435002375178	That's literally true, Campenhaye. ” So you mean to murder me? ” I said.
osu.32435002375178	That's why, Mr. Campenhaye, that's why?"
osu.32435002375178	That, I suppose, is quite a secret matter?"
osu.32435002375178	The children play on the beach, and the invalids go driving to the Head. ” “ The Head?
osu.32435002375178	The next I heard was Miss Braye's call for help. ” Do you know why Felicie came in here? ” I asked.
osu.32435002375178	The organs were sound and healthy — in fact, it's a mystery. ” “ No trace of poison?
osu.32435002375178	The thing is-- shall I tell our visitor the story of the diamonds?"
osu.32435002375178	Then I sent up a note: would she give me but a few moments on urgent business?
osu.32435002375178	Then I suppose you addressed the envelope?
osu.32435002375178	Then he said- using a formal tone: “ You wish to consult me?"
osu.32435002375178	Then suddenly bursting out, she exclaimed, almost angrily: “ Why do you ask these questions about Captain Molesworth?
osu.32435002375178	There is one?
osu.32435002375178	There- fore, suppose you sit still while they are here, listen, and say nothing?"
osu.32435002375178	Understand?"
osu.32435002375178	Was Miss Allison at home?
osu.32435002375178	Was it before or after you missed it?
osu.32435002375178	Was she in it, or was she out of it?
osu.32435002375178	Was this maid of yours in your confidence?
osu.32435002375178	Well, Killingley?"
osu.32435002375178	Well, now, how soon after you found this girl dead was it that you telephoned to me?'
osu.32435002375178	Well, what are we going to do?
osu.32435002375178	Well, what did you do with it, then?"
osu.32435002375178	Well? ” he asked.
osu.32435002375178	Well?"
osu.32435002375178	What can I do for you, sir?
osu.32435002375178	What did the woman mean?
osu.32435002375178	What does he exactly do?
osu.32435002375178	What had Molesworth done with this gold?
osu.32435002375178	What has he got to do with it?"
osu.32435002375178	What hotel will you go to? ” “ I will go to Claridge's, ” she answered.
osu.32435002375178	What is it?
osu.32435002375178	What is it?
osu.32435002375178	What is the real name of the French dancer who has been appearing at the Megathesium under the stage name of La Papillon?
osu.32435002375178	What is to be done?
osu.32435002375178	What mystery was this?
osu.32435002375178	What time would you like this car?"
osu.32435002375178	What was he like then, when they were removed?
osu.32435002375178	What's that? ” I enquired.
osu.32435002375178	What, the Italian dancer? ” I exclaimed.
osu.32435002375178	When did you — for I am pretty certain it was you — break off this engagement?'
osu.32435002375178	When had she gone?
osu.32435002375178	When you received the registered letter, did you notice anything to make you think it had been tampered with?"
osu.32435002375178	When — where?"
osu.32435002375178	Where and when? ” “ A telegram came for her soon after you set off to meet Mr. Campenhaye, ” replied Lady Louisa.
osu.32435002375178	Where are In the left luggage office at King's Cross?
osu.32435002375178	Where are we going now?
osu.32435002375178	Where had I seen grapes just like those, recently?
osu.32435002375178	Where had I seen that maimed hand before?
osu.32435002375178	Where is Mrs. Duquesne?
osu.32435002375178	Where shall he drive you? ” he asked.
osu.32435002375178	Where was the maid lying?
osu.32435002375178	Where, recently, quite recently — within the last twenty- four hours- had I seen grapes likes those- yes, like that very identical bunch?
osu.32435002375178	Where?
osu.32435002375178	Who is, or was, James Meadows?"
osu.32435002375178	Who was it?"
osu.32435002375178	Who was the last person who saw your brother alive?
osu.32435002375178	Who's he?'
osu.32435002375178	Why bring the family pearls — heirlooms?
osu.32435002375178	Why did you break it off?"
osu.32435002375178	Why had he been in such haste to change the notes?
osu.32435002375178	Why not?
osu.32435002375178	Why were you running away from him?"
osu.32435002375178	Why?"
osu.32435002375178	Why?"
osu.32435002375178	Will you come?"
osu.32435002375178	Without demur?"
osu.32435002375178	You are sufficiently acquainted with the geography of Leycaster to remember our castle?
osu.32435002375178	You are sure he did not throw himself over? ” I asked, mentally making notes of all that Danthorpe told me.
osu.32435002375178	You are sure the railing gave way?
osu.32435002375178	You are sure there was no one in this room when she entered it?"
osu.32435002375178	You believe- that?
osu.32435002375178	You do not?"
osu.32435002375178	You have seen her, of course?"
osu.32435002375178	You heard the old gentleman speak of James Meadows?"
osu.32435002375178	You know me? ” said the man.
osu.32435002375178	You received your brother's letter, telling you of his little diffi- culties, on the morning of the seventh June?
osu.32435002375178	You remember me?"
osu.32435002375178	You remember the Francis Taplin case?
osu.32435002375178	You said something about this being a race night?
osu.32435002375178	You see these marks on this triangular bit of coast?
osu.32435002375178	You understand?
osu.32435002375178	You were the last person to see Mr. James Harthwaite alive, were n't you?
osu.32435002375178	You wish to go in at once?
osu.32435002375178	You, Mr. Campenhaye?
osu.32435002375178	You, of course, lunched with Captain Molesworth in a private room at the hotel?

osu.32435002375178	what are you doing here?"
osu.32435002375178	what's this? ” exclaimed Harth- waite, as he and the driver sprang from the car.
osu.32435002375178	who was obviously his daughter, to do with Miss Braye and Major Valentine?
osu.32435002375178	“ And I did n't want that man to see you there. ” “ And who's he, pray?"
osu.32435002375178	“ And by whom had the ring been pledged?"
osu.32435002375178	“ And counselled you not to tell the police and the railway people?
osu.32435002375178	“ And do you mean to say that the chap's always right?
osu.32435002375178	“ And if you see anybody, just put me up to it, eh? ” “ All right, Mr. Campenhaye, ” replied Barney.
osu.32435002375178	“ And made no objection? ” “ None.
osu.32435002375178	“ And on the pearls?"
osu.32435002375178	“ And so, of course, you humoured him?"
osu.32435002375178	“ And that, I suppose, is the gentleman whom you met at the Great Northern Hotel?"
osu.32435002375178	“ And upon what do you found your belief, Cotherstone?"
osu.32435002375178	“ And what is that?
osu.32435002375178	“ And who,"I asked,"are Mrs. Duquesne and Miss Manning?
osu.32435002375178	“ And would your Grace recognise them again? ” “ There were other men in there,"said the Duke reflectively.
osu.32435002375178	“ Are you really sure it was there?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Attend to me! ” But- what since then?
osu.32435002375178	“ But do you know anything of this?
osu.32435002375178	“ But why should she, Mr. Campenhaye? ” he asked.
osu.32435002375178	“ But- you? ” he said meaningly.
osu.32435002375178	“ But-why may I not see Captain Molesworth?
osu.32435002375178	“ By the by, what was there actually left on your brother's body — I mean personal effects — when he found?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Did n't Captain Molesworth think it a dangerous thing to risk valuable property in that way?
osu.32435002375178	“ Did n't I tell you I was a lucky man?
osu.32435002375178	“ Did she know the precise contents of the jewel- case?
osu.32435002375178	“ Did you ever see it afterwards?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Did you lock the drawer?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Did you observe anything? ” Nothing! ” he replied with emphasis.
osu.32435002375178	“ Do you recognise the portrait?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Do you suspect anyone? ” I asked.
osu.32435002375178	“ Does Captain Molesworth know what was in the jewel- case?"
osu.32435002375178	“ During the time you were in the hotel at King's Cross did Captain Molesworth ever leave you, Lady Langthwaite? ” I enquired.
osu.32435002375178	“ Everybody, I suppose, knows you?
osu.32435002375178	“ For whom did you make, or to whom did you supply, this artificial eye?
osu.32435002375178	“ Found anything, Mr. Campenhaye?
osu.32435002375178	“ Gaze into crystals, or consult the stars, or read your palm, or what?!
osu.32435002375178	“ Had he any secret affairs — whether of love or of anything else?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Had the girl been eating grapes? ” He nodded, and looked at me as if he would have “ Of course, 90 PAUL CAMPENHAYE.
osu.32435002375178	“ Had you any reason for such a surmise?
osu.32435002375178	“ Has he no friends or relations here? ”"No,"replied Danthorpe.
osu.32435002375178	“ He had no business quarrels--- no business enemies?"
osu.32435002375178	“ How are you, sir?"
osu.32435002375178	“ How did you spend the rest of the morning- for instance, up to lunch?"
osu.32435002375178	“ How long,"I said, “ will it take to run into Hallaton?"
osu.32435002375178	“ How long?
osu.32435002375178	“ I am to understand, I suppose, that the original plans will now be altered, or postponed? ” I asked, regarding her keenly.
osu.32435002375178	“ I do n't suppose I am far wrong in thinking that you set about it soon after breakfast?
osu.32435002375178	“ I expect not, eh?
osu.32435002375178	“ I guess you're aware that most of the big bugs in the money world are uncommonly superstitious?
osu.32435002375178	“ I have wondered if by any possible chance the rings could have become exchanged the night that Mrs. Duquesne exhibited hers?
osu.32435002375178	“ I suppose it's quite safe in your window?"
osu.32435002375178	“ I suppose that is so in your case, Lady Langthwaite?
osu.32435002375178	“ I suppose you in- formed the station people and the police at once?"
osu.32435002375178	“ I think you said that the maid's body was dis- covered by you and Miss Braye?
osu.32435002375178	“ I think you said the door was shut- that Miss Braye opened it while you were taking off your coat and hat?"
osu.32435002375178	“ I think you were the last person to see Felicie alive? ” I said.
osu.32435002375178	“ I wonder how it came into this unknown man's possession?
osu.32435002375178	“ I wonder what he wants at this hour?
osu.32435002375178	“ Is that so?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Is there no one in the town who knows anything of him?"
osu.32435002375178	“ It's not- not, I hope, about poor Mr. James?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Lady Langthwaite,"I said suddenly, a new idea having occurred to me, “ where did you get those bank- notes?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Let's see- you've twenty thousand to draw, eh?
osu.32435002375178	“ Look here!-have you got a minute to spare?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Looking out for the Old Firm? ” he said with one of his sarcastic grins.
osu.32435002375178	“ Monsieur Gourgand; you want my advice?
osu.32435002375178	“ Mr. Morton?
osu.32435002375178	“ My mistress says, will you walk in and shelter, sir? ” he repeated.
osu.32435002375178	“ No old ruins- castles, churches, eh? ” I asked.
osu.32435002375178	“ No; he said Antoinette was not likely to let anybody rob her. ” “ By the by, ” I said, “ did Antoinette see you with Captain Molesworth?"
osu.32435002375178	“ No? ” I continued.
osu.32435002375178	“ Now, remember, we speak together in the strictest secrecy? ”"Oh, yes, yes, sir-- of course! ” he exclaimed.
osu.32435002375178	“ Now, tell me this-- did your maid know that you were running away? ” “ No!
osu.32435002375178	“ Now, what time did you see your registered packet again?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Now, who is the best person to give me some information as to the dead woman's movements this morning?
osu.32435002375178	“ Of course we'll go? ” he said.
osu.32435002375178	“ Of course, you know who did it?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Say nothing at the inquest?
osu.32435002375178	“ So you went straight off and registered it?"
osu.32435002375178	“ So you're also known to the police, my friend?
osu.32435002375178	“ Tell me what has happened?
osu.32435002375178	“ That was before he went out? ” I asked.
osu.32435002375178	“ Then, of course, it was Captain Molesworth who sent you to me? ” I said.
osu.32435002375178	“ They trust each other as far as that? ” All Mendoba's clients are people of means with a very big M, ” answered Tregarthen sententiously.
osu.32435002375178	“ Well, and what is the poison?'
osu.32435002375178	“ Well, shall we stroll along?
osu.32435002375178	“ Well, were n't there any traces in what remained?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Well, what did you do after that?
osu.32435002375178	“ Well, who are you? ” he asked.
osu.32435002375178	“ Well?
osu.32435002375178	“ Well? ” he said.
osu.32435002375178	“ Well?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Well?'
osu.32435002375178	“ What am I to do?
osu.32435002375178	“ What are you going to do? ” he asked after a pause.
osu.32435002375178	“ What can I do for you, Mr. Campenhaye?
osu.32435002375178	“ What did you do with the registered envelope and the cardboard box in which the ring was enclosed?"
osu.32435002375178	“ What do the people do who come here, then?
osu.32435002375178	“ What do you wish me to advise you about?
osu.32435002375178	“ What duty was it of yours?
osu.32435002375178	“ What else can I think?
osu.32435002375178	“ What is it, Campenhaye?
osu.32435002375178	“ What price Diabolo?"
osu.32435002375178	“ What were the other ladies of the house- party doing — so far as you know?
osu.32435002375178	“ What's your club number?"
osu.32435002375178	“ What?"
osu.32435002375178	“ When did you give that box to Meadows?'
osu.32435002375178	“ Where did you leave your keys while you were playing golf that morning, Miss Manning?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Where was he from?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Why, Mr. Campenhaye, how on earth came you here?
osu.32435002375178	“ Why, ” I said at last,"why is it your Grace's particular trouble? ” He threw out one hand with an instinctive gesture and his face flushed.
osu.32435002375178	“ Why? ” he exclaimed.
osu.32435002375178	“ Will you hear of it now?
osu.32435002375178	“ Will you not sit down and listen to me?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Yes, that's true. ” “ Murder, in fact? ” I said.
osu.32435002375178	“ Yes, well, it's Mendoba that I'm after. ” What-- again?"
osu.32435002375178	“ Yes? ” I said encouragingly.
osu.32435002375178	“ You are a detective?
osu.32435002375178	“ You are famous for a remarkable gift of in- sight? ” I remarked, with what was doubtless a feeble attempt at a smile.
osu.32435002375178	“ You are wondering if I share their opinions, Major?"

osu.32435017899196	What is your own impression?
osu.32435017899196	What sort of relations were growing up between Juliet Gibson and me?
osu.32435017899196	What time shall I come to the Temple?
osu.32435017899196	What traces has he left ‘?
osu.32435017899196	What will become of him?
osu.32435017899196	When I returned they had both gone. ” “ Was the outer door locked?
osu.32435017899196	When shall we bring it?
osu.32435017899196	Why should it have been opened?
osu.32435017899196	Will you go over them, Jervis?
osu.32435017899196	Would they have influenced you in your attitude towards him?
osu.32435017899196	Would you do me the favour of permitting me to look for it?
osu.32435017899196	Would you let him have the ‘ Thumbograph, ’ aunt, to show to Dr. Thorndyke?
osu.32435017899196	Would you like to have it this evening?
osu.32435017899196	You can attend to the scalp wound and send round the necessary letters, ca n’t you?
osu.32435017899196	You have come to tell me something?
osu.32435017899196	You have known him for some years?
osu.32435017899196	You know it comes on for trial next week?
osu.32435017899196	You see how it was intended to be done, I suppose?
osu.32435017899196	but who had seen him tear it off?

osu.32435017899196	those foul Trichinopolies?
osu.32435017899196	thy not ‘?
osu.32435017899196	‘ Like to have a look at them, sir ‘?
osu.32435017899196	“ A very natural inference, but a wrong one. ” “ Then what is the thing?
osu.32435017899196	“ And are Dr. Thorndyke ’s cigars so extra- ordinarily bad?
osu.32435017899196	“ And do you mean to say that we shall be turned loose into one of these cages with a herd of other visitors?
osu.32435017899196	“ And now, Thorndyke, ” I said, “ that you have penetrated both the motives and the disguise of this villain, what are you going to do?
osu.32435017899196	“ And what sort of character do you give him?
osu.32435017899196	“ And you are of opinion that the mark on the paper that was found in Mr. Hornby ’s safe, was made by the prisoner ’s left thumb?
osu.32435017899196	“ And — if I may ask the question — ” pursued Reuben anxiously, “ do, you find it possible to conceive that I may really be innocent?
osu.32435017899196	“ Are we defending an innocent man or are we endeavouring to obtain a light sentence for a man who admits that he is guilty?
osu.32435017899196	“ Are you all agreed upon your verdict, gentle- inen?
osu.32435017899196	“ But what is the special bearing on the case supposing it was so?
osu.32435017899196	“ Ca n’t I put you down somewhere?
osu.32435017899196	“ Christopher Jervis, ” it said, “ what is this that you are doing?
osu.32435017899196	“ Cyclist?
osu.32435017899196	“ Did you never guess?
osu.32435017899196	“ Did you notice if he was carrying anything?
osu.32435017899196	“ Do I disturb you untimely at your studies?
osu.32435017899196	“ Do either of you gents know anything about this here ‘?
osu.32435017899196	“ Do you propose to cross- examine the witness?
osu.32435017899196	“ Do you remember a thing called a ‘ Thumbo- graph ’?
osu.32435017899196	“ Dr. Thorndyke?
osu.32435017899196	“ Hallo, Polton l ” I exclaimed, “ have you con- trived to tear yourself away from the laboratory for an hour or two?
osu.32435017899196	“ Have you any objection to offer, Sir Hector?
osu.32435017899196	“ How can you possibly get over that?
osu.32435017899196	“ How did it happen?
osu.32435017899196	“ How- d’ye- do, doctor? ” said the latter, rising and holding out his hand.
osu.32435017899196	“ However, there are only two more, so you must have patience. ”_ “ And you will have patience with me, too, wo n’t you?
osu.32435017899196	“ I am certain of it. ” “ You are of opinion that no mistake is possible?
osu.32435017899196	“ I infer, ” said he, “ that our learned brother is practising parlour magic upstairs, or peradventure he has gone on a journey?
osu.32435017899196	“ I observe, Mrs. Hornby, ” I said, “ that in answer to the first question, ‘ Whence did you obtain the “ Thumbograph ”?
osu.32435017899196	“ I suppose, ” I said at length, “ it is of no use for me to re- open the question of the advisability of this visit on your part?
osu.32435017899196	“ Is it any concern of ours?
osu.32435017899196	“ Is it so bad?
osu.32435017899196	“ Is this the paper?
osu.32435017899196	“ Is this the way?
osu.32435017899196	“ It was the cause of all this trouble. ” “ Do you know if the police took possession of it?
osu.32435017899196	“ May I come in?
osu.32435017899196	“ Miss Gibson, sir?
osu.32435017899196	“ Shall we be too late, do you think?
osu.32435017899196	“ Shall we take a cab, or walk ‘?
osu.32435017899196	“ So John Hornby has been plunging in mines, eh?
osu.32435017899196	“ The inquest is fixed for to- morrow — what is the matter?
osu.32435017899196	“ The labora- tory has torn itself away from me. ” “ What do you mean ‘?
osu.32435017899196	“ The law pro- fesses to regard the unconvicted man as innocent; but how does it treat him?
osu.32435017899196	“ Was he expecting you?
osu.32435017899196	“ Well ‘?
osu.32435017899196	“ Well, what is it?
osu.32435017899196	“ Well, ” he said, after watching me in silence for some time, “ what do you see?
osu.32435017899196	“ What are those figures intended to show ‘?
osu.32435017899196	“ What do you say, Mr. Anstey?
osu.32435017899196	“ What do you say, gentlemen?
osu.32435017899196	“ What have you advised your client to do? ” Thorndyke asked presently.
osu.32435017899196	“ What have you got in that bottle?
osu.32435017899196	“ What is a ‘ Thumbograph ’?
osu.32435017899196	“ What, are you going to put it under the micro- scope?
osu.32435017899196	“ Where is this paper on which the questions and answers are written?
osu.32435017899196	“ Who done it?
osu.32435017899196	“ Who the deuce can that be?
osu.32435017899196	“ Who was the last to leave the premises on the evening of the ninth?
osu.32435017899196	“ Why did n’t you?
osu.32435017899196	“ Why do n’t they all swear at once and have done with it?
osu.32435017899196	“ Why, have n’t you heard?
osu.32435017899196	“ Will eight o’clock suit you, do you think? ” Miss Gibson asked, as we walked up the street.
osu.32435017899196	“ Would you care to help me — as a matter of business, of course — to work up this case?
osu.32435017899196	“ Would your lordship give your permission for a demonstration such as the witness proposes?
osu.32435017899196	“ You are attached to the medical school at St. Margaret ’s Hospital, I believe, Dr. Thorndyke?
osu.32435017899196	“ You are one of the chief assistants in the Finger- print Department, I believe, Mr. Nash?
osu.32435017899196	“ You made your entries as soon as possible after your return, I suppose?
osu.32435017899196	“ You would not mind coming with me this evening, would you, aunt ‘?
osu.32435017899196	” 5 ‘ No.9, “ Was it possible that there could have been any such marks?
osu.32435017899196	” said Thorndyke — “ while the matter was still fresh?
osu.32435017899196	” tt Yes., ’ “ Had Holker a key of the outer door?
osu.32435017899196	” ‘ 6 I am. ” “ Have you heard the evidence of the last witness?
osu.32435017899196	” ‘S Yes-’9 “ Was there any thumb- mark or blood- smear on it when you placed it in the safe?
osu.32435017899196	” ‘S Yes. ’, “ And what did he say?
osu.32435017899196	” “ About three- quarters of an hour. ” “ Who gave you the note and the parcel?
osu.32435017899196	” “ As you put it, ” I answered, “ the case is extra- ordinarily puzzling. ” 70 THE RED THUMB MARK “ But how else would you put it?
osu.32435017899196	” “ By the writing on it, which is in my own hand, and bears my initials. ” “ Is it the memorandum that you placed on the parcel of diamonds?
osu.32435017899196	” “ Consequently Reuben has been — er — detained in custody. ” “ You do n’t mean to say that they have sent him to prison?
osu.32435017899196	” “ I did. ” “ What is your opinion as to the condition of that blood?
osu.32435017899196	” “ I have. ” “ Do you agree with the statements made by that witness ‘?
osu.32435017899196	” “ I mean that it actually is a forgery. ” “ When did you first come to the conclusion that it was a forgery?
osu.32435017899196	” “ I refused. ” “ Why did you refuse?
osu.32435017899196	” “ Mr. Walter Hornby. ” “ When did he give them to you?
osu.32435017899196	” “ Oh, just the questions I was likely to be asked. ” “ Were the answers that you were to give to those questions also written on the paper?
osu.32435017899196	” “ Then I should have had to hand over the object to him. ”- “ And why not?
osu.32435017899196	” “ Well, ” I replied, with a smile, “ you have been more explicit than Thorndyke ever has. ” “ Have I?
osu.32435017899196	” “ Yes; I ca n’t make out how his foot got in front of mine. ” “ You do n’t think it was intentional, surely? ” I said.
osu.32435017899196	” “ Yes; at least, some of them. ” “ Have you given the answers that were written down?
nyp.33433076076144	* Warry's Getaway 89 “ Never mind, ” he said, roughly; “ where do you want to go?
nyp.33433076076144	29 “ Well, you know the reason of this marriage, do n't you?
nyp.33433076076144	A Woman ’s Will 73 Who else could have taken that diamond from the bride's neck?
nyp.33433076076144	A Woman's Will 77 of common sense could n't my niece leave her money to my son, if she wanted to? ” “ Do n’t ask me, Mr.
nyp.33433076076144	A cryptogram? ” and Far- rish again pondered over the ambiguous words.
nyp.33433076076144	A regular beauty?
nyp.33433076076144	Absolute rubbish, Mr. Ferrall! ” “ Then why is your daughter so unnerved over the mere suggestion? ” “ Eh P Unnerved?
nyp.33433076076144	Absolute rubbish, Mr. Ferrall! ” “ Then why is your daughter so unnerved over the mere suggestion? ” “ Eh P Unnerved?
nyp.33433076076144	After the bride fell? ” “ He came into the church parlour, while we were all there, ” said Eileen, thinking back.
nyp.33433076076144	Am I called upon to ex- plain it?
nyp.33433076076144	Am I really your wife? ” “ Yes, Eileen, she is dead, and you are my wife. ” “ Then, listen to me.
nyp.33433076076144	An ’ can I tell yo'sumpin, suh? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433076076144	And Swift's sudden disappear- ance is against him. ” Two Telegrams I55 “ But he's home again, now. ” “ Is he?
nyp.33433076076144	And answer one question, will you?
nyp.33433076076144	And how P Shall I write? ” “ No; telegraph.
nyp.33433076076144	And now, gentlemen, may we not consider this interview at an end? ” There was nothing to do but go, and the two callers went.
nyp.33433076076144	And that is not an easy task. ” “ It seems hopeless, ” said Eileen, slowly; “ can you get no idea from the actual facts?
nyp.33433076076144	And then, again, how could Bingham have done it?
nyp.33433076076144	And who is this speaking? ”.
nyp.33433076076144	And why should he? ” “ For the best reason in the world.
nyp.33433076076144	And yet — who could say?
nyp.33433076076144	And yet** “ And yet, was there ever a criminal whose crime was not a surprise to his friends?
nyp.33433076076144	And you ca n't for a moment believe that some bystander, one of the wedding- party, took it! ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433076076144	And, if so, why? ” “ For the very good reason that you changed the papers!
nyp.33433076076144	And, too, what was Farrish's motive?
nyp.33433076076144	And, too, why should I? ” “ You do n’t trust me? ” “ I most certainly do not.
nyp.33433076076144	And, too, why should I? ” “ You do n’t trust me? ” “ I most certainly do not.
nyp.33433076076144	Any little actress, or anybody? ” “ You little innocent!
nyp.33433076076144	Anything very bad? ” “ Men would think so.
nyp.33433076076144	Are n't our frocks wonderful?
nyp.33433076076144	Are they not anxious to discover the murderer? ” “ They profess to be satisfied to leave it all to the local police.
nyp.33433076076144	Are you Caprice? ” The response to this was a wild shriek, in which dismay, fear, and horror were blended.
nyp.33433076076144	Are you crazy?
nyp.33433076076144	Are you shocked too much at that?
nyp.33433076076144	Are you sure yourself you want to make it? ” “ To save Stan!
nyp.33433076076144	Are you sure? ” “ Sure I'm sure.
nyp.33433076076144	Are you, Eileen?
nyp.33433076076144	At any rate the hand that wrote this, wrote the other cipher messages found in the lady's desk. ” “ Were there many? ” “ Not many.
nyp.33433076076144	At last he excused him- 256 The Bride of a Moment “ Who, then? ” asked Eileen.
nyp.33433076076144	Back home? ” “ No, ” said Warren Swift, “ you have fright- ened me.
nyp.33433076076144	Because he loved her, and could n't bear to see her marry you! ” “ You ’re imagining, Eileen. ” “ Yes, but why may n't it be true?
nyp.33433076076144	Bingham mad no sound? ”* “ No scream or anything like that.
nyp.33433076076144	Bingham?
nyp.33433076076144	Brace up; come, now, is your bouquet all right?
nyp.33433076076144	But Bingham already suspected what I'd done — ” “ What was it, Guy?
nyp.33433076076144	But I showed them to my father, and he solved the mysterious messages. ” “ Oh, is it a puzzle?
nyp.33433076076144	But do n't you see that that paper would have been a strong factor to fight against? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076076144	But do n't you see that that paper would have been a strong factor to fight against? ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076076144	But he had red hair. ” “ Really red?
nyp.33433076076144	But how could one go about it to find her?
nyp.33433076076144	But how do you come to know so much about Flora Wood? ” “ Oh, I ’ve been there lots of times.
nyp.33433076076144	But how, how could a man shoot his bride and no one know it? ” “ Never mind that for the moment.
nyp.33433076076144	But so were a The Family Lawyer Io?
nyp.33433076076144	But some- how they've concluded Ethel was shot by some one on the west side of the church 92 “ How could she be?
nyp.33433076076144	But tell us, if you can, whether you chanced to notice a woman looking in at the church win- dow during the ceremony? ” “ A good- looker?
nyp.33433076076144	But tell us, if you can, whether you chanced to notice a woman looking in at the church win- dow during the ceremony? ” “ A good- looker?
nyp.33433076076144	But what did she go for, that she would n't tell about? ” But the question was unanswerable.
nyp.33433076076144	But what else is there to think?
nyp.33433076076144	But what's your excuse? ” “ I do n't knowl Gene, I ’m in a blue funk over the whole matter.
nyp.33433076076144	But who had reason for desiring her death?
nyp.33433076076144	But, perhaps, you would n't have to go far to learn his real name. ” “ Was it Kennedy? ” 246 The Bride of a Moment Caprice laughed.
nyp.33433076076144	But, who has had this since you re- ceived it, beside Mr. Farrish? ” “ Several people.
nyp.33433076076144	By the way would n't it be better to keep the fact of your profession a secret from everybody else in town? ” “ Yes, except the authorities.
nyp.33433076076144	By the way, a man's music manu- script is as individual as his chirography, is n't it? ” “ Indeed, it is.
nyp.33433076076144	Ca n't I get away on some plausible pretext, and come back when it blows over? ” “ That's what I'm here for.
nyp.33433076076144	Could I ask you to marry me if there were P ’ ’ “ Well; but — is there any one who thinks she has?
nyp.33433076076144	Could he have any other motive than jealousy;"“ What makes you ask that question, Mr. Bing- ham? ” and Ford looked at him, keenly.
nyp.33433076076144	Could it be proved that Bingham sent it? ” “ Would it have to be?
nyp.33433076076144	Could it be proved that Bingham sent it? ” “ Would it have to be?
nyp.33433076076144	Could it have been an accident?
nyp.33433076076144	Could n't I make them believe me innocent, really? ” “ Not unless you are, and the real murderer can be found.
nyp.33433076076144	Could the shot have been intended for some one 26 The Bride of a Moment else?
nyp.33433076076144	Could we get a Justice of the Peace, or whatever you call him, as late as this? ” “ We will, whether we can or not!
nyp.33433076076144	Dat's de one what looked in an'den ran away an'got in de motoh cyar an'scooted off. ” “ How are you so certain? ” asked Ford, in- terestedly.
nyp.33433076076144	De front winduh on de west side. ” “ Are you sure, Charlotte? ” asked Eileen.
nyp.33433076076144	Dead?
nyp.33433076076144	Dearest, do you? ” “ I — don't — know — I think I did mean it when I said it, but — it would be too crazy!
nyp.33433076076144	Did anybody else have any motive whatever?
nyp.33433076076144	Did he have opportunity?
nyp.33433076076144	Did she seem to con- sider it important? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076076144	Did she throw him over, too? ” “ Yes, I believe so.
nyp.33433076076144	Did you do this? ” Farrish looked at the detective a moment before he spoke, and then said slowly, “ Yes, Mr. Ford, I did. ”& 4 Why?
nyp.33433076076144	Did you do this? ” Farrish looked at the detective a moment before he spoke, and then said slowly, “ Yes, Mr. Ford, I did. ”& 4 Why?
nyp.33433076076144	Did you have full view of Mr. Bingham during the ceremony? ” “ Yas, suh, I sho ’ did.
nyp.33433076076144	Did you make it up?
nyp.33433076076144	Did you marry me thinking it was not a marriage because of her? ” “ Well, tell me the truth.
nyp.33433076076144	Did you notice that, Doctor? ” The minister hesitated.
nyp.33433076076144	Did you see her do any- thing? ” “ Nope; just stood there looking in.
nyp.33433076076144	Do I understand, Mr. Ferrall, that you are accusing me of the murder of my wife? ”.
nyp.33433076076144	Do n't get him, Eileen. ” “ Why not? ” and the girl gazed calmly at Bing- ham.
nyp.33433076076144	Do n't you know that Bingham went to that altar unwill- ingly? ” Eileen flushed, but she bowed a slow assent.
nyp.33433076076144	Do n't you want the man to be found? ” “ Yes, but, Eileen, I feel so strangely alarmed over it.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you care to go to look at the church? ” “ I will go, of course, Miss Randall, but I can- not expect much help from that sort of observa- tion.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you know this lady? ” Suddenly Alan Ford showed the photograph of the unknown beauty.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you mean to say a woman ca n't will her property as she likes? ” “ I mean that marriage nullifies a woman's will.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you really desire to prove the man's innocence? ” “ Do I desire it?
nyp.33433076076144	Do you really desire to prove the man's innocence? ” “ Do I desire it?
nyp.33433076076144	Do you refuse my first request? ” “ But such a request! ” “ Very well, it is a command, then.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you regret her death? ’ ” And as if it were fairly torn from him, Bing- ham made the admission, “ No! ” and then they moved apart.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you suppose they'll arrest Stanford Bingham? ” “ Probably.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you think I ought to, Mr. Farrish? ” “ If you look at me so persuasively, Miss Ran- dall, I shall not be able to give you an unbiassed answer.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you think every man has some foolish entanglement? ” “ Have n't they? ” and Eileen's big, dark eyes showed a wistful wonder.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you think every man has some foolish entanglement? ” “ Have n't they? ” and Eileen's big, dark eyes showed a wistful wonder.
nyp.33433076076144	Do you want to do that?
nyp.33433076076144	Everybody likes him, do n't they? ” “ Yes, suh. ” Charlotte had become suddenly laconic.
nyp.33433076076144	Farrish! ” she exclaimed; “ how dare you?
nyp.33433076076144	Farrish, will you please tell me anything you know about the murder of Ethel Moulton? ” Farrish looked at her in astonishment.
nyp.33433076076144	For years it has been the Mecca of afternoon drives. ” “ Were you ever there with Ethel? ” “ H'm, let me see: Yes, I think I have been.
nyp.33433076076144	Gene, how can they think I would shoot Ethel? ” “ Oh, I do n't know, man!
nyp.33433076076144	Guy, is that woman really dead?
nyp.33433076076144	Had she ever mentioned these fears to you, Mr. Bingham? ” “ No, ” said Bingham, fidgeting nervously; “ no, of course not.
nyp.33433076076144	Has this lady anything to do with the tragedy? ” “ That's what I'm trying to find out.
nyp.33433076076144	Have you any idea? ” The Silent Shot 23 “ No, ” returned the girl, in low tones like his own.
nyp.33433076076144	Have you heard a hint of this from any one else? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076076144	Have you not talked with the District Attorney? ” “ Yes, and with Mr. Ferrall.
nyp.33433076076144	He can get at the truth of any case. ” “ And you want the truth revealed? ” “ Yes, I do!
nyp.33433076076144	He did n't want her to marry Mr. Bingham at all. ” “ Why did she marry him, anyway? ” “ Oh, Eileen, she was desperately in love with him.
nyp.33433076076144	He is a reckless sort, but I did n't know he was ever in love with Ethel! ” “ Who was n't? ” said Bingham.
nyp.33433076076144	He loves somebody else. ”& c. Who?
nyp.33433076076144	Her diamond is gone! ” 28 The Bride of a Moment “ Was it a valuable gem? ” asked Hartt.
nyp.33433076076144	Her property is all her husband's, no matter if she left forty wills. ” “ Is that right?
nyp.33433076076144	How Mr. Bingham does admire huh! ” “ They're old friends? ” Ferrall was quietly insinuating, and chose his words with infinite Care.
nyp.33433076076144	How absurd'"“ But is there? ” “ No, of course not.
nyp.33433076076144	How can you sug- gest such a thing? ” “ It is not for any one to say what could or could not have been except as it is proved to us by evi- dence.
nyp.33433076076144	How could We? ” “ It does n't matter how we could,—if you only will, I'll arrange all else!
nyp.33433076076144	How could any one want to kill Ethel? ” Bingham's face was ghastly.
nyp.33433076076144	How could you ask such a thing as that?
nyp.33433076076144	How could you! ” “ And you were betrothed to the lady soon after this? ” “ Yes, in the latter part of August.
nyp.33433076076144	How did she treat Mr. Kennedy? ” “ Hal?
nyp.33433076076144	How did she treat Mr. Kennedy? ” “ Hal?
nyp.33433076076144	How do you explain that? ”- “ Bless my soul, man!
nyp.33433076076144	How do you know he sent it, or them? ” “ Who else?
nyp.33433076076144	How do you know he sent it, or them? ” “ Who else?
nyp.33433076076144	How do you know? ” “ I do n't know, that is, not positively.
nyp.33433076076144	How do you like him? ” and Betty gazed in absorbed admi- ration at her own fascinating reflection.
nyp.33433076076144	How old was she? ” “ Twenty- six, but she looked older.
nyp.33433076076144	I am not one for half- way measures! ”- “ Neither am I?
nyp.33433076076144	I be- lieve you drew up that instrument? ” “ Yes, about four years ago.
nyp.33433076076144	I could n't love you if you were wicked! ” “ Could n't you? ” and the low whisper was in- tense and persuasive.
nyp.33433076076144	I have had love- affairs, who has n't?
nyp.33433076076144	I have your word, have I not, to say nothing of my taking this music? ” “ Certainly.
nyp.33433076076144	I in- quired if one had not dropped his sheet of music soon after the shot, and learned that one did. ”& 4 Who?
nyp.33433076076144	I know a se- cluded little nook 27 “ Just big enough for one kiss?
nyp.33433076076144	I know all you say about the pistol being soundless and smokeless, but there were so many of us all about, how could it have happened?
nyp.33433076076144	I may have spoken too hastily, when I even mentioned his name. ” “ You say he was in the church? ” asked Ford.
nyp.33433076076144	I mean where was he?
nyp.33433076076144	I never knew anything like it! ” “ You have no suspicions, then, of the criminal? ” “ Indeed I have n't!
nyp.33433076076144	I saw the sexton give it to her, and she read it and tucked it in her glove. ” “ Was she affected by it?
nyp.33433076076144	I think she is connected in some way, but I ’ve no idea how. ” “ What do you know?
nyp.33433076076144	I want to go home, and I want to go now. ” “ And if I refuse to take you? ” “ But you wo n't, ” and she was wheedlesome.
nyp.33433076076144	I wanted to see the bit of music that you said you had destroyed. ” “ You doubted my word? ” “ To be frank, yes, I did.
nyp.33433076076144	I was bound she should n't think I was wearing the willow! ” “ And did n't she think so? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076076144	I'm going to take it to the police. ” “ Why?
nyp.33433076076144	I'm sure but one person stood there. ” “ Well, and what about it?
nyp.33433076076144	If she's Hal's wife, he could make her do it. ” “ Why? ” said Doctor Randall.
nyp.33433076076144	If you saw the shot, why did you run away, in a motor car, and disappear?
nyp.33433076076144	If you were guilty, would n't you say you're not, just the same? ” “ Gene, you've got me scared to death!
nyp.33433076076144	In what way did you think I could give you information? ” “ In no definite way, I'm afraid.
nyp.33433076076144	Is anything missing? ” Eileen gave a sudden exclamation.
nyp.33433076076144	Is it asking too much to desire an ex- planation of this rather unusual scene? ” “ Not at all.
nyp.33433076076144	Is n't it time to Start? ” The whole bridal cortège was now crowded into the vestibule of the church, nervously awaiting the stroke of twelve.
nyp.33433076076144	Is that straight? ” “ No, I think it decidedly crooked, and also in- T. M. T. E.T.
nyp.33433076076144	Is there any one, any one at all, who has the slightest claim on you now? ” “ Claim on me!
nyp.33433076076144	It is The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	It is too large to escape observation. ” “ What was its value? ” asked Ferrall.
nyp.33433076076144	It was all harmless flirt- ing, she was as good as gold, but she could no more The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	Last summer? ” “ Yes; mother and dad were away, and I had the month's vacation, and so did Hal.
nyp.33433076076144	Look here, what's the matter with you?
nyp.33433076076144	M- m —! ” “ What did he give her? ” “ A solitaire diamond pendant.
nyp.33433076076144	Mr. Ferrall, what are you doing here? ” Eileen Randall appeared in the doorway, with a face like a thundercloud.
nyp.33433076076144	Mr. Hall, can I get access to the choir loft at any time? ” “ Certainly, Mr. Ford.
nyp.33433076076144	My niece had most extravagant tastes. ” “ Had she money of her own? ” “ Some.
nyp.33433076076144	No one could sell that diamond without being asked for its history. ” “ Is it famous? ” “ Not by name, and it is not internationally known.
nyp.33433076076144	No, miss, he never brought Miss Moulton here, she — she came with — with an- other man. ” “ Are you sure? ” and Eileen stared, meaningly.
nyp.33433076076144	Nor would he have been, if I did not happen to know that he did not love the lady he made his wife. ” “ Did n't love her?
nyp.33433076076144	Now, suh, says I, moughtn't he be de vilyun dat shot Miss Ethel? ” “ Rubbish, ” said the Inspector.
nyp.33433076076144	Now, who is this man? ” “ Hal Kennedy, ” said Eileen, promptly.
nyp.33433076076144	Now, would n't you? ” “ I do n't know, Gene.
nyp.33433076076144	Now, you remember that musi- cal cipher you gave me? ” “ Have you proved it to be a musical cipher?
nyp.33433076076144	Now, you remember that musi- cal cipher you gave me? ” “ Have you proved it to be a musical cipher?
nyp.33433076076144	Now, you under- stand, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” said Eileen, “ I understand.
nyp.33433076076144	OW do you mean, secret? ” and Ferrall pricked up his ears.
nyp.33433076076144	Of course not! ” “ Why were you so alarmed at the question? ” and Eileen eyed her closely.
nyp.33433076076144	Of course, I did n't do it! ” “ Well, that's all right, but can you prove it? ” “ Do I have to P ” “ Honestly, Warry, I believe you do.
nyp.33433076076144	Of course, as there was such a crowd, the ones behind could not see clearly. ” “ Who was nearest to her? ” went on Mr. Hartt.
nyp.33433076076144	Of course, he lied; of course it is the wedding diamond, but as it is surely his own, why does he deny it?
nyp.33433076076144	Oh, if you only did Do you?
nyp.33433076076144	On the east side? ” Guy Farrish answered.
nyp.33433076076144	Or any other of the bridal party?
nyp.33433076076144	Or do you think Bingham stole his own property? ” “ Of course he stole it!
nyp.33433076076144	Poor Ethel, how could I treat her So? ” “ Do you regret her death? ” and Eileen's beauti- ful, sirenic face came close to his own.
nyp.33433076076144	Poor Ethel, how could I treat her So? ” “ Do you regret her death? ” and Eileen's beauti- ful, sirenic face came close to his own.
nyp.33433076076144	Say, Warry, were he and Ethel much in love? ” “ No; I do n't know all about it, but there was trouble somewhere.
nyp.33433076076144	Shall I tell you? ” “ Yes, dear, tell me.
nyp.33433076076144	Shall we say seven? ” 284 The Bride of a Moment keep a secret, I know.
nyp.33433076076144	She always had forty leven. ” “ Do you know Kennedy well? ” “ Yes, pretty well.
nyp.33433076076144	Silently he Warry's Getaway 93 grasped her hand and just breathed into her ear, “ Eileen, are you mad?
nyp.33433076076144	So if it was — you — tell me, dear? ” Eileen's arm slipped round his neck.
nyp.33433076076144	So what can we do? ” “ There is only one way, ” repeated Eileen, slowly, and sadly.
nyp.33433076076144	Stan, who did kill Ethel? ” “ I do n't know, darling, and since I have you, nothing else matters.
nyp.33433076076144	Stanford Bingham a criminal?
nyp.33433076076144	Suppose I drive you straight to New York, and let you lose yourself there? ” “ But what word shall I send back home?
nyp.33433076076144	Suppose I drive you straight to New York, and let you lose yourself there? ” “ But what word shall I send back home?
nyp.33433076076144	Swift feel the same affection? ” “ Almost, I think.
nyp.33433076076144	Swift here? ” said the undertaker's as- sistant, coming in from the parlour.
nyp.33433076076144	Swift listened more and more intently to the detective's reasoning, and at last said: 58 The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	Swift will go home now? ”, “ It would be better.
nyp.33433076076144	Swift, are you not glad of that?
nyp.33433076076144	Swift, what harm could that do?
nyp.33433076076144	Swift? ” “ Let me see; in fact it would be easier to think of men whom she had not had affairs with.
nyp.33433076076144	Swift? ” “ Let me see; it's June now.
nyp.33433076076144	Tease me more. ” “ Who was the “ Queen of your past'?
nyp.33433076076144	Tell me whom you suspect. ” “ If I do, will you kiss me? ” “ What, now? ” “ No, not now, it would be too unsatisfactory.
nyp.33433076076144	Tell me whom you suspect. ” “ If I do, will you kiss me? ” “ What, now? ” “ No, not now, it would be too unsatisfactory.
nyp.33433076076144	Tell me, Guy, have you ever loved any one before? ” “ Not as I love you!
nyp.33433076076144	Tell me, my siren, when can we be married? ” “ Do n’t call me siren.
nyp.33433076076144	That Charlotte is not a reliable wit- ness. ” “ Why is n't she?
nyp.33433076076144	That it did happen?
nyp.33433076076144	The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	There is, so far, no unexplained condition. ” “ But who was it? ” insisted Eileen.
nyp.33433076076144	There never was a girl of my acquaintance so attractive to men as Ethel Moul- ton. ” “ Yet her beauty was waning? ” “ Oh, not really.
nyp.33433076076144	These things were all planned and rehearsed, you know. ” “ Were you here at rehearsal, Mr. Farrish? ” asked Somers.
nyp.33433076076144	They're dangerous weapons in the hands of the District Attorney. ” “ Do you know, Mr. Farrish, what I've just about determined to do?
nyp.33433076076144	This was villainy enough, but could it be the same man who had killed her on her wedding day?
nyp.33433076076144	Van Sutton had just spoken to Ethel, and was turning to me, when I saw a pearl pin loosened a little at the side of her head, and y?
nyp.33433076076144	Very red? ” And Ferrall spoke ex- citedly.
nyp.33433076076144	Warry Swift? ” Stanford Bingham took Eileen's face in his two hands.
nyp.33433076076144	Was he likely to be suspected?
nyp.33433076076144	Was it you?
nyp.33433076076144	Was she doing wisely to keep up this independent attitude?
nyp.33433076076144	Was she of fine character? ” “ It's hard for me to say.
nyp.33433076076144	We thought you ought to have it. ” “ In her glove? ” said Warren, as he took the paper.
nyp.33433076076144	We went up to Lake Placid. ” “ And stayed the whole month?
nyp.33433076076144	We were gone all August, and he poured out his trou- bles to me like I was his father confessor. ” “ All August?
nyp.33433076076144	Well, they were en- gaged last Summer, I think, about July or August. ” “ Why were n't they married sooner? ” “ Bless my soul!
nyp.33433076076144	Were he and your niece friendly? ” 6O The Bride of a Moment “ Very, indeed.
nyp.33433076076144	What about her? ” “ Nothing, ” and Ford looked stern.
nyp.33433076076144	What about the uncle and aunt?
nyp.33433076076144	What are you talking about?
nyp.33433076076144	What can I do for you? ” “ Oh, nothing particular.
nyp.33433076076144	What can you pos- sibly have to say to me? ” Her plan worked well.
nyp.33433076076144	What could I say? ” “ Oh, say you've gone to hunt down a clue that you believe may lead to the criminal. ” “ Just the thing!
nyp.33433076076144	What did the man look like? ” “ I dunno, suh.
nyp.33433076076144	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076076144	What do you mean? ” But though the tones expressed deepest indig- nation, the soft eyes were not altogether chiding.
nyp.33433076076144	What do you mean? ” “ We had a telegram this morning- his father.
nyp.33433076076144	What do you mean? ” “ Yes, I did, ” said Bingham.
nyp.33433076076144	What do you mean? ” “ Yes, it is true.
nyp.33433076076144	What do you say to going far away from here to live?
nyp.33433076076144	What do you say, Mr. Ferrall? ” “ It does n't sound to me very plausible, but it may be possible.
nyp.33433076076144	What does it mean? ” Ford told her.
nyp.33433076076144	What further evidence have you than they possessed? ” “ It is that evidence that we are trying to get, ” answered Somers, gravely.
nyp.33433076076144	What had happened?
nyp.33433076076144	What has come to you, girl? ” The Call of the Siren 269 With no reply in words, Eileen gave him a sweet, shy smile that might mean anything.
nyp.33433076076144	What has he done, so far? ” “ He ’s done a lot, Stan, and it's all for you.
nyp.33433076076144	What if there were more to it, and worse, and, bribed by Miss Moulton, the Ballou woman had not told the truth?
nyp.33433076076144	What is it you want, Eileen? ” She stood beside him, beautiful, hesitating.
nyp.33433076076144	What is it? ” “ Only this.
nyp.33433076076144	What is it? ” “ Why, here's a paper that we found in the lady's glove.
nyp.33433076076144	What is she to you? ” “ Nothing, ” and Farrish looked solemn.
nyp.33433076076144	What more could he ask for Ethel?
nyp.33433076076144	What time is it, Mr. Farrish?
nyp.33433076076144	What was it?
nyp.33433076076144	When did he return, and what does he say? ” “ He came back on Tuesday.
nyp.33433076076144	When did you become engaged to the lady? ” “ Nearly a year ago.
nyp.33433076076144	When will you marry me?
nyp.33433076076144	When, Eileen? ” “ Oh, not for a long time.
nyp.33433076076144	When, dearest, when can I have you? ” “ Are we staying here for dinner? ” asked Eileen, irrelevantly.
nyp.33433076076144	When, dearest, when can I have you? ” “ Are we staying here for dinner? ” asked Eileen, irrelevantly.
nyp.33433076076144	Where is that bit of music that was found in the bride's glove? ” “ I took it home with me.
nyp.33433076076144	Where shall I take you? ” “ I do n't know; I'm all upset!
nyp.33433076076144	Where's the big dia- mond?
nyp.33433076076144	Where, I say, is there any possible motive to be found, except in this inheritance business?
nyp.33433076076144	Who could believe that a bridegroom could be capable of such an act? ” “ Who, indeed! ” agreed Bingham; “ as you say it is preposterous!
nyp.33433076076144	Who could have done it?
nyp.33433076076144	Who did n't love Ethel Moulton?
nyp.33433076076144	Who did? ” “ I do n't know, and it does n't matter now.
nyp.33433076076144	Who do you suppose wrote these notes? ” “ The man who killed Mrs. Bingham, ” said Ford, gravely.
nyp.33433076076144	Who else had any cause to wish the lady out of existence?
nyp.33433076076144	Who else wanted Ethel out of ex- istence? ” “ Why are you shielding him?
nyp.33433076076144	Who else wanted Ethel out of ex- istence? ” “ Why are you shielding him?
nyp.33433076076144	Who else wanted to be rid of that woman?
nyp.33433076076144	Who else would P ’ ’ “ Well, as to that, why should Bingham take it?
nyp.33433076076144	Who is Flora Wood? ” “ I do n't know, I'm sure; I never heard of any such person.
nyp.33433076076144	Who is going to murder a lovely young lady, with no reason for it?
nyp.33433076076144	Who is in your mind — Kennedy? ” “ Yes. ” “ Put him out, then.
nyp.33433076076144	Who is it?
nyp.33433076076144	Who is she? ” “ I do n't know.
nyp.33433076076144	Who killed Ethel? ” Farrish looked at her with dilated eyes.
nyp.33433076076144	Who saw the lady fall? ” “ Everybody in the front part of the church, I suppose, ” answered Mr.

nyp.33433076076144	Who were they? ” “ I ’ve heard since her death that she has been engaged to young Hall, and to Chester Morton, and to her lawyer, Farrish.
nyp.33433076076144	Whom do you suspect as the criminal? ” “ I do n't care to say.

nyp.33433076076144	Why are n't you desperately anxious to find the criminal and see him punished?
nyp.33433076076144	Why did he, how could he make her do it? ” “ Too easy, ” replied Ford.
nyp.33433076076144	Why did n't Bingham think the same, and take pre- caution to secure the gem during the excitement at the time?
nyp.33433076076144	Why do n't you want him brought to justice? ” “ He is my friend, ” said Guy Farrish, with a grave look.
nyp.33433076076144	Why else would he say that?
nyp.33433076076144	Why has this great joy come to me so suddenly?
nyp.33433076076144	Why pick him out? ” “ Only because he may be said to have had motive.
nyp.33433076076144	Why pretend that he has two of them?
nyp.33433076076144	Why resist, my fluttering bird? ” “ Do n’t kiss me!
nyp.33433076076144	Why should I choose the spectacular occasion? ” “ Because for you it was a safer chance.
nyp.33433076076144	Why should I tell Alan Ford the truth?
nyp.33433076076144	Why should I?
nyp.33433076076144	Why should Warry go off like that?
nyp.33433076076144	Why should he? ” “ Did you never think, dear, that Mr. Farrish knew Ethel better than you thought he did?
nyp.33433076076144	Why should he? ” “ Did you never think, dear, that Mr. Farrish knew Ethel better than you thought he did?
nyp.33433076076144	Why would he at once jump to the conclusion that Bing- ham wrote it, and spoke of himself that way as a blind?
nyp.33433076076144	Why, do you con- sider it important? ” “ Ca n't tell yet.
nyp.33433076076144	Why, he did n't do it! ” “ Then who did? ” “ Who indeed!
nyp.33433076076144	Why?
nyp.33433076076144	Why? ” “ Did Kennedy stay with you the whole time, or was he away a few days? ” “ All the time there.

nyp.33433076076144	Why? ” “ I think the paper has been changed.
nyp.33433076076144	Why? ” “ In Miss Moulton's diary, last August, she writes several times of Flora Wood.
nyp.33433076076144	Why? ” “ Mr.

nyp.33433076076144	Will that be possible? ” “ I ’ll make it so in Swift's case.

nyp.33433076076144	Will yo'come to huh house, suh? ” V The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	Will you go with me to see the black Charlotte? ” “ No; I've an engagement.
nyp.33433076076144	Wo n't you? ” “ Yes, I will, ” said Eileen, and she raised her beautiful face to Bingham's with a look of utter- most faith and trust.
nyp.33433076076144	Would n't he be much more likely to think some one else than Bingham wrote it?
nyp.33433076076144	Would n't it be better to trace Mr. Kennedy's move- ments last August?
nyp.33433076076144	Would you advise offering a reward, Mr. Ferrall? ” But Everson Swift spoke in answer to this.
nyp.33433076076144	Would you dare to state your case to him, if I can arrange for it? ” “ Are you crazy?
nyp.33433076076144	Would you dare to state your case to him, if I can arrange for it? ” “ Are you crazy?
nyp.33433076076144	You are quite willing, then, that I should tell my story to Mr. Somers? ” Eileen wavered.
nyp.33433076076144	You did n't see any one, Eileen? ” “ No; no one but our own crowd.
nyp.33433076076144	You did n't, did you, Stan? ” “ Do n’t ask me, Eileen!
nyp.33433076076144	You found the key? ” “ Yes, without any trouble.
nyp.33433076076144	You have it still, have n't you? ” “ Yes; I was afraid to try to sell it. ” “ And you may well be.
nyp.33433076076144	You have no idea of any such person, Mr. Bingham? ” “ Certainly not.
nyp.33433076076144	You know that, do n't you? ” “ Oh, I do n't know anything!
nyp.33433076076144	You know there were several men pretty much cut up by Ethel's marriage. ” “ She was a heart- breaker, you say? ” “ Yes, indeed!
nyp.33433076076144	You saw no one, did you, Doctor Van Sutton? ” “ No one but the ones who were there all through the ceremony, ” replied the minister.
nyp.33433076076144	You shall not kiss me, you shall never touch me until you tell me who killed Ethel. ” “ How do I know? ” Farrish spoke almost roughly.
nyp.33433076076144	You will miss Ethel so dreadfully, but may n't I fill her place in some ways? ” “ Oh, Eileen, you do not know what has hap- pened!
nyp.33433076076144	“ A memorandum for the organist? ” asked Fer- rall, looking at the music.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Ah, Mr. Farrish, have you come back? ” “ I have.
nyp.33433076076144	“ And did you send Ethel the telegrams, too? ” “ Yes; I gave the girl every chance.
nyp.33433076076144	“ And you have no suspicion of the criminal? ” went on Mr. Hartt.
nyp.33433076076144	“ But how begin that search?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Can you deny it? ”- “ That I married Miss Moulton to secure my for- tune?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Can you deny it? ”- “ That I married Miss Moulton to secure my for- tune?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Could it have been robbery?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Did n't you know this fact regarding a will? ” asked Ferrall, turning to the younger Swift.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Did you say that, or did you not? ” he thundered.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Did you see your wife fall? ” repeated Hartt, looking at him steadily.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Do you know this? ” she asked of Mrs. Ballou.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Do you suppose you can convince me or any one else of that?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Do you think the stone will be found, Mr. Ferrall? ” “ I do, indeed.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Eh, what? ” said the bridegroom, looking up from the attitude of dejection he had shown ever since the tragedy.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Even your young mistress admires him, eh? ” “ I dunno'bout Miss Eileen, but laws'sakes!
nyp.33433076076144	“ Grant- Caprice 239 ing the woman did do the shooting, at the command of the man who forced her to telephone just now, why did she do it?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Has she fainted? ” he said, tremblingly, not willing to believe or imply what he feared.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Have you any knowledge of who could pos- sibly have done this thing? ” he asked of Mr.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Have you no idea? ” “ Surely not Eugene Hall? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Have you no idea? ” “ Surely not Eugene Hall? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076076144	“ How can I, when you are so unfriendly?
nyp.33433076076144	“ How could you do it? ” “ How could I not do it? ” she corrected.
nyp.33433076076144	“ How could you do it? ” “ How could I not do it? ” she corrected.
nyp.33433076076144	“ How could you, Eileen? ” Bingham would repeat over and over.
nyp.33433076076144	“ I mean, why did he make her do it? ” “ Because he was in love with Ethel, and would n't let her marry Stan.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Is this Mr. Alan Ford? ”&& Yes. ” “ The detective? ”&&.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Is this Mr. Alan Ford? ”&& Yes. ” “ The detective? ”&&.

nyp.33433076076144	“ May I speak with you a few moments?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Miss Randall? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076076144	“ No, ” she said at last, “ No, it's not. ” “ Are you sure? ” Again a short hesitation.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Now, tell me, Stan, whom are you shielding?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Oh, do n't do that! ” “ Do you know him? ” “ Not personally; but I know of him.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Queen of my future,'—how's that? ” “ Horrid!
nyp.33433076076144	“ Speech?
nyp.33433076076144	“ That woman Caprice is your wife! ” “ Eileen, is this a ruse?
nyp.33433076076144	“ That woman,—you heard her Scream? ” “ Yes, ” said the other two.
nyp.33433076076144	“ The right side? ” asked the detective.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Then we must conclude the shot was fired from The East Side or the West?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Then why did he run away?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Then, what else have you got against Ken- nedy? ” “ Nothing definite, I admit.
nyp.33433076076144	“ To the hotel, dear? ” A Midnight Marriage 299 Farrish looked at her closely, but she only smiled and danced away.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Was the letter signed, Doctor Van Sutton? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076076144	“ What can I tell you, Miss Randall, ” he said, “ that you do not know already?
nyp.33433076076144	“ What did he do afterward?
nyp.33433076076144	“ What do you mean, Gene? ” “ To- night we were at choir practice, and the Dis- trict Attorney and Ferrall came there to look over the place.
nyp.33433076076144	“ What do you mean? ” he said, not so much surprised as puzzled.
nyp.33433076076144	“ What do you think of that? ” Doctor Randall smiled.
nyp.33433076076144	“ When? ” “ In the vestibule, just before she was married.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Who done it? ” he said, clenching his fists and glancing from one to another of the silent people gathered about.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Who had motive?
nyp.33433076076144	“ Why did you ask that? ” he cried, almost angrily, and then, recovering his poise, he added, “ Forgive me, darling, I lost my|".
nyp.33433076076144	“ Why do you tell us? ” “ Only because it was by appointment, and they both seemed to be so secret about it. ” IX The Turning Point c.c.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Why do you think so? ” asked Eileen, who was looking a little in dismay at the bundles of notes and papers with which the desk was stuffed.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Why should you jump to that conclusion? ” “ Because I am a woman, I suppose, and make my conclusions from my intuitions.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Why, suh, de one I seen lookin'in at de winduh ob de chu'ch on de day ob de weddin'. ” “ Which window? ”- “ I done tole you'bout it.

nyp.33433076076144	“ Yes, Charlotte, what is it? ” and Stanford Bing- ham turned to greet her with a startled look in his eyes.
nyp.33433076076144	“ Yes, ” he said, “ I gave that to John, just as he says. ” “ Where did it come from? ” asked Bingham.
nyp.33433076076144	“ You mean that I know where it is? ” he whispered, hoarsely.

osu.32435004117560	No clews? ” “ He refused to give his name to the butler, and Searles sticks to it that he never saw the man before to- night.
osu.32435004117560	Not Chan? ” “ You know very well it's not Searles, ” snapped 272 THE BIGAMIST Price.
osu.32435004117560	Not to save me from Calvin?
osu.32435004117560	Perhaps you would like to tell me — ” “ Is Mr. Searles here, or has he been arrested? ” she broke in.
osu.32435004117560	Queer mix- up, is n’t it? ” “ A good many crimes are queer mix- ups, ” said Scott Cunningham in his quick, nervous manner.
osu.32435004117560	Searles, ” questioned Wiggly, “ is she pretty?
osu.32435004117560	See?
osu.32435004117560	She seemed all right then. ” “ How long after you saw her going downstairs was the shot fired? ” Bushnell asked in a subdued tone.
osu.32435004117560	She wanted him, and she got him. ” “ But why did she want him? ” demanded Ken- dricks with a baffled gesture.
osu.32435004117560	Smoke? ” “ I will take only a moment of your time, Mr. Hornaday.
osu.32435004117560	So the pretty little thing's brother finally did — ” “ So you do admit knowing who Calvin Oakes is? ” Price broke in.
osu.32435004117560	So what Was I to do?
osu.32435004117560	The big thing is — who done it?
osu.32435004117560	The office arrangement meets with your approval? ” “ Entirely so, Mr. Hornaday. ” Searles smoked for a moment in silence.
osu.32435004117560	This is wonderful; so much better than we had hoped for. ” “ To- day? ” Dora demanded breathlessly.
osu.32435004117560	This she told us just now — before she died. ” “ Died? ” gasped Searles.
osu.32435004117560	Those are his work- ing clothes, and he milked cows in those shoes. ” “ Yes? ” Bushnell murmured questioningly.
osu.32435004117560	True, there are pine trees in Westchester County, but since when do Westchester County farmers wear lumberjack shirts?
osu.32435004117560	Was I right? ” “ It might have reached me, if I had been there to receive it. ” Searles was now thoroughly frightened.
osu.32435004117560	We'll get Searles and go out to Riverview. ” “ What's the new angle? ” demanded the constable.
osu.32435004117560	Well? ” “ You ’ve cornered me, ” Searles had to admit.
osu.32435004117560	Were you expecting a letter?
osu.32435004117560	What are you in? ” Again Searles was badly rattled; he seldom read the market pages and scarcely knew one stock from another.
osu.32435004117560	What could the butler know?
osu.32435004117560	What did I say to make you SOre? ” Searles subsided, deeply ashamed of himself.
osu.32435004117560	What did he come here to see you about? ” Searles'mouth twitched slightly, and his hands seemed to clench more tightly shut.
osu.32435004117560	What does it matter if a man ’s hands are filled, when — when his heart is empty? ” “ You talk like an idiot!
osu.32435004117560	What else could I do? ” “ Yes, I suppose so, Chan, since you feel the way you do about it.
osu.32435004117560	What had Spike Watson to do with the tragedy at Riverview, and why should Spike Watson want Ed Hinkle out of the way?
osu.32435004117560	What happened to her?
osu.32435004117560	What have I got?
osu.32435004117560	What is your opinion of this lamentable affair? ” But Hedges was not to be trapped with a few sugared words.
osu.32435004117560	What made him do that? ” he blurted, as Bushnell and Price emerged from Elizabeth Searles ’ bed- T00 m.
osu.32435004117560	What part of the country is Searles from? ” “ I ca n’t answer that.
osu.32435004117560	What was it the doctor wanted to say, and why did n't he get it over with?
osu.32435004117560	What was the purpose?
osu.32435004117560	What was the sense o ’ that now?
osu.32435004117560	What's his name?
osu.32435004117560	What's the game, or are you just off your nut?
osu.32435004117560	What's the matter?
osu.32435004117560	What's this about a shooting? ” The situation was getting away from Wiggly Price and he knew it.
osu.32435004117560	What's up? ” Then he saw Price.
osu.32435004117560	What, other than money, could satisfy Hinkle?
osu.32435004117560	When?
osu.32435004117560	Where's my supper? ” “ Fawther, I want to tell you — ” “ No back talk, Etty.
osu.32435004117560	Where's that other pris’ner you was goin’ to bring back with you from New York?
osu.32435004117560	Who else other than Searles or Hinkle could have had a motive for killing Oakes?
osu.32435004117560	Who is Roughly Garbed Stranger, Shot as he Sought to Kill Channing Searles?
osu.32435004117560	Who is this man? ” “ I do not know, officer.
osu.32435004117560	Who shall I say it is? ” “ Just say a woman, ” she answered.
osu.32435004117560	Who's croaked anyhow?
osu.32435004117560	Why did he ask such apparently foolish questions about pine trees?
osu.32435004117560	Why did he want me to think that girl up in New Hampshire was dead? ” Ed Hinkle had an extreme dislike for unexplained things.
osu.32435004117560	Why else, except that he did n't have the nerve to show his face?
osu.32435004117560	Why had Hinkle re- turned the loan by mail instead of bringing it in person?
osu.32435004117560	Why had n’t he written down the num- bers of those notes?
osu.32435004117560	Why not?
osu.32435004117560	Why?
osu.32435004117560	Will that be satisfactory, Searles? ” “ Quite satisfactory, ” he answered.
osu.32435004117560	With. ” “ How does he act? ” Price Wanted to know.
osu.32435004117560	Women is a riddle, ai n’t they? ” “ Yours is a universal mistake, Kendricks, ” the butler said, with an air of profundity.
osu.32435004117560	Wonder if Cal beat me back? ” “ Cal? ” said Searles.
osu.32435004117560	Wonder if Cal beat me back? ” “ Cal? ” said Searles.
osu.32435004117560	Would n’t it be a wonderful surprise if I could? ” “ But you ca n’t, impatient child, ” laughed the nurse.
osu.32435004117560	Yes, I'm now convinced of Searles ’ innocence. ” “ And that you're on the track of the right man, eh? ” “ Who else could have had a motive?
osu.32435004117560	Yes, I'm now convinced of Searles ’ innocence. ” “ And that you're on the track of the right man, eh? ” “ Who else could have had a motive?
osu.32435004117560	You are going back to New York this afternoon? ” “ Yes, I must.
osu.32435004117560	You did the shooting out at the Searles'place last night. ” “ Searles'place?
osu.32435004117560	You look almost Worried about it. ” “ Worried about the letter, Elizabeth? ” he parried.
osu.32435004117560	You mean Chan Searles? ” Hinkle looked both startled and relieved.
osu.32435004117560	You must n't be a quitter. ” “ Is it quitting to come to your senses and to be honest with yourself? ” he argued.
osu.32435004117560	You think you've made something of your- self, do n't you?
osu.32435004117560	You want to know what I think?
osu.32435004117560	You were n't in love with me, to begin with. ” “ How dare you say that? ” “ No, Elizabeth, you were n’t, ” he insisted.
osu.32435004117560	You will try, wo n’t you, Chan? ” What else was Searles to do but agree?
osu.32435004117560	You will try, wo n’t you, Chan? ” What else was Searles to do but agree?
osu.32435004117560	You're sure you do n’t know who did the shooting?
osu.32435004117560	not dead? ” cried the butler.
osu.32435004117560	“ And there is a – a Mrs. Searles? ” “ Yes, ” Wiggly answered slowly, “ there is a Mrs. Searles.
osu.32435004117560	“ Any peculiarities? ” pressed Wiggly.
osu.32435004117560	“ Are you a- a detective? ” Why should this woman know that Hinkle was in trouble?
osu.32435004117560	“ Are you a- a detective? ” Why should this woman know that Hinkle was in trouble?
osu.32435004117560	“ Are you tryin'to make out that Searles did n’t do the shootin ’? ” Doctor Bushnell, however, did not scoff.
osu.32435004117560	“ Automatic? ” he gulped.
osu.32435004117560	“ Can — can I walk to- day, Miss Joline?
osu.32435004117560	“ Chance to do a little detective work, eh?
osu.32435004117560	“ Could n’t figger out where you'd took Off to. ” “ Dora is — worse? ” “ No, she's better — a lot better, Doc Ashton says.
osu.32435004117560	“ Croak?
osu.32435004117560	“ Dead, doc? ” “ Yes, Griggs, the man is dead.
osu.32435004117560	“ Did he go somewhere?
osu.32435004117560	“ Did he tell you his name?
osu.32435004117560	“ Did the man who was inquiring for you last night succeed in getting in touch with you? ” she asked.
osu.32435004117560	“ Did you get my letter, Chan? ” she asked.
osu.32435004117560	“ Did you have a return address on the envelope? ” Searles asked her.
osu.32435004117560	“ Do n’t know, eh?
osu.32435004117560	“ Do n’t you understand English? ” he screeched.
osu.32435004117560	“ Do you dare to call me a liar? ” blustered Bor- land.
osu.32435004117560	“ Do you realize what I have done to her?
osu.32435004117560	“ Doctor, Hedges?
osu.32435004117560	“ Does Dora know? ” he asked thickly.
osu.32435004117560	“ Does Mr. Borland walk lame? ” she asked.
osu.32435004117560	“ Dora — she is — I’m not too late? ” Searles said with difficulty; he fought to keep his eyes steady, but they wavered.
osu.32435004117560	“ Eliza- beth dead?
osu.32435004117560	“ Feelin'sick, Oz? ” asked Ezra.
osu.32435004117560	“ Forgive? ” she said softly.
osu.32435004117560	“ Going?
osu.32435004117560	“ Great heavens, you mean that Elizabeth is dead?
osu.32435004117560	“ Has some- thing happened, Hedges? ” he demanded.
osu.32435004117560	“ Have I the right to deceive Dora like this? ” Conrad Hornaday got out his eyeglasses and toyed with them meditatively.
osu.32435004117560	“ Have n’t I got a right to dress myself if I hap- pen to feel like doing it? ” snapped Searles.
osu.32435004117560	“ Have you told her? ” “ No, I am leaving that for some one else; I have n’t the heart to do it.
osu.32435004117560	“ He ’s in trouble, is n’t he? ” Mrs. Chubb questioned insistently.
osu.32435004117560	“ His name was Jones. ” “ Jones? ” Searles repeated.
osu.32435004117560	“ Hornaday? ” she whispered.
osu.32435004117560	“ How do you know that, Price? ” “ Oh, I know those stains.
osu.32435004117560	“ How soon?
osu.32435004117560	“ How will you have it, Mr. Searles? ” asked the teller, with his hand inside the money drawer.
osu.32435004117560	“ How — how dare he violate my con- fidence? ” “ He had to tell me, Elizabeth.
osu.32435004117560	“ How's Dora?
osu.32435004117560	“ If you need money I will gladly let you have it. ” “ I do need it, Elizabeth — desperately. ” “ Desperately, Chan?
osu.32435004117560	“ Is n't that correct? ” 204 THE BIGAMIST “ I have been away from there a long time, eleven years, in fact, ” Searles evaded.
osu.32435004117560	“ Is n't that what we ’ve been trying to do all along, and the precise reason why you're going to investi- gate the Hinkle end of it?
osu.32435004117560	“ Is n’t it the Boston label that has rushed you to the New England conclusions?
osu.32435004117560	“ Is n’t that the truth? ” “ Good Lord! ” gasped Searles.
osu.32435004117560	“ Is she dead, doc? ” This from the constable.
osu.32435004117560	“ Is there something I can do, Hedges? ” he asked.
osu.32435004117560	“ Is there something in particular? ” the latter in- quired pointedly.
osu.32435004117560	“ It would be cruel — ” “ You are asking me to deceive Dora about what has happened?
osu.32435004117560	“ Jones? ” Searles knew not a single Jones, even remotely.
osu.32435004117560	“ Just what is this scheme you have? ” “ Nothing whatever except to make a test which, if I am wrong, will do no harm.
osu.32435004117560	“ Likely true'bout the telegram, ” Calvin responded 58 THE BIGAMIST stonily, “ but what about the letter I wrote?
osu.32435004117560	“ Mighty near home, ai n't we?
osu.32435004117560	“ Money? ” he said harshly.
osu.32435004117560	“ Murder, romance, and everything! ” “ You ’re passing it up? ” the doctor gasped.
osu.32435004117560	“ My wife's money?
osu.32435004117560	“ Neither of us can do any good up there, can we?
osu.32435004117560	“ Nevertheless, it is true. ” “ Can you give us any sort of a description? ” It was Doctor Bushnell who asked the question.
osu.32435004117560	“ Now what business could such a person have at Riverview? ” he muttered absently, screwing shut his right eye, as he always did when puzzled.
osu.32435004117560	“ Oh, Chan, is n’t it a glorious morning? ” she said, as she came beside him and slipped her fingers about his arm.
osu.32435004117560	“ Oh, God, where is it going to end? ” And then he thought of something.
osu.32435004117560	“ Oh, how could a man do such a terrible thing?
osu.32435004117560	“ Oh, how could you have done such a horrible thing?
osu.32435004117560	“ Remember that time, Oz, when we was all put- tin'up the hay, an ’ Cal went after ‘ Hemp Tyler with a pitchfork? ” Searles did remember.
osu.32435004117560	“ Shall I remain? ” she asked.
osu.32435004117560	“ She wants to see me? ” Searles asked thickly.
osu.32435004117560	“ So you think I am a detective? ” “ Oh, I know how to add up two and two, ” re- sponded Mrs. Chubb.
osu.32435004117560	“ So you think a night in jail would have loosened Searles'tongue?
osu.32435004117560	“ So you were n’t alone in this scheme to blackmail Searles? ” he said.
osu.32435004117560	“ Tell me, Ezra — how is she?
osu.32435004117560	“ That got under your skin, did n’t it? ” He lost no time in pressing this theory.
osu.32435004117560	“ That he returned from a trip to New Hampshire,| eh? ” exclaimed Price, justly elated “ eyer this im- portant discovery.
osu.32435004117560	“ The girl back in New Hampshire, eh?
osu.32435004117560	“ The northern part of New Hampshire? ” the re- porter detective pressed on.
osu.32435004117560	“ Then it was Borland? ” he asked thickly.
osu.32435004117560	“ These larger particles, see?
osu.32435004117560	“ This stranger, Hedges, was he wearing a hat when you admitted him? ” questioned the reporter.
osu.32435004117560	“ W- what was that? ” he added in a tense, horrified whisper.
osu.32435004117560	“ W- what's happened? ” It was Hedges'voice, stammering with fright that asked the question.
osu.32435004117560	“ Was it King Solomon who chased after the Queen of Sheba?
osu.32435004117560	“ Were there no letters, Ed?
osu.32435004117560	“ What Was that? ” “ One of the servants dropped something, ” lied the nurse, but Elizabeth was not to be so easily misled.
osu.32435004117560	“ What do you want with Mr. Hinkle? ” she de- manded.
osu.32435004117560	“ What does all this mean? ” he demanded.
osu.32435004117560	“ What have you done with Dora? ” “ Calvin, wait! ” Searles panted.
osu.32435004117560	“ What is Western Oil selling at this morning? ” Searles could n’t have answered that within twenty points.
osu.32435004117560	“ What is the name of the town you came from? ” asked Price, with the elated knowledge that he was on a hot trail, a very hot trail.
osu.32435004117560	“ What kind of a rat do you think I am?
osu.32435004117560	“ What kind of a shootin ’, Etty? ” “ He did n’t say, and I do n’t think he knew much about it, anyhow.
osu.32435004117560	“ What letter? ” “ I see you did n't.
osu.32435004117560	“ What on earth is the matter? ” Things were obviously not right with Ed Hinkle.
osu.32435004117560	“ What other gat?
osu.32435004117560	“ What was it made you so sure Borland was the guilty man? ” “ It was Miss Lorna who set me thinking along the right track, doctor.
osu.32435004117560	“ What was she doing on a horse at such an hour? ” he demanded.
osu.32435004117560	“ What would you say had been his occupation? ” “ Farming, without a doubt.
osu.32435004117560	“ What's Borland got to do with it? ” he asked.
osu.32435004117560	“ What's strange about it? ” he retorted.
osu.32435004117560	“ What's that? ” Searles ’ voice was sharp and startled.
osu.32435004117560	“ What's the matter with you, anyhow?
osu.32435004117560	“ Where is it going to end? ” he groaned.
osu.32435004117560	“ Where to, guv- nor?
osu.32435004117560	“ Where was she going? ” “ She was goin’ home, ” Ezra told him.
osu.32435004117560	“ Where's my coffee? ” snapped Searles.
osu.32435004117560	“ Where's the doc? ” he inquired.
osu.32435004117560	“ Where's the other gat, Hinkle? ” he snapped.
osu.32435004117560	“ Who are you anyhow?
osu.32435004117560	“ Who are you, if I may ask, sir? ” demanded Hedges.
osu.32435004117560	“ Who are you? ” he demanded unsteadily, as his hand reached out for the light switch, and his finger pressed the button.
osu.32435004117560	“ Who do you think you are, anyhow? ” “ I happen to know who I am, ” retorted Wiggly Price, grinning a little.
osu.32435004117560	“ Who is it that's dead? ” blurted Ham Griggs, addressing the question to young Borland.
osu.32435004117560	“ Why did you quit writin ’? ” Calvin's voice was hard and brittle.
osu.32435004117560	“ Why do n't you tell us that?
osu.32435004117560	“ Why does n't he come?
osu.32435004117560	“ Will you get upstairs quickly and see Mrs. Searles?
osu.32435004117560	“ Will you tell Mr. Borland to come down, please? ” “ Quite so, sir.
osu.32435004117560	“ Would it hurt you so much, Chan, dear? ” Searles did not answer that.
osu.32435004117560	“ Would you advise me to do this? ” he demanded.
osu.32435004117560	“ You are Mr. Searles? ” “ Yes, that's right.
osu.32435004117560	“ You are the nurse Doctor Flemming is expect- ing? ” he said pleasantly.
osu.32435004117560	“ You did not ring for me, sir? ” Kendricks'tone was reproachfully accusing.
osu.32435004117560	“ You do n’t believe me? ” “ Oh, Elliot, you have told me so many lies to get money that I can no longer believe you.
osu.32435004117560	“ You have a guest, a Mr. Richmond Jones? ” Searles inquired.
osu.32435004117560	“ You mean — blackmail? ” Her tone was so scornful that he flinched.
osu.32435004117560	“ You say Calvin Oakes was croaked last night?
osu.32435004117560	“ You say, Price, that it would have been impossible for the shell you found outside the windows to have been fired in Searles'revolver?
osu.32435004117560	“ You think, Doctor Ashton, there's a chance Dora may recover? ” he asked, his voice strained and jerky.
osu.32435004117560	“ You — here? ” As they stared at each other, there was upon the woman ’s face an expression of such withering scorn that he flinched.
osu.32435004117560	“ You — you do n’t believe what I have told you, Hedges?
osu.32435004117560	“ You — you know the man? ” the doctor demanded incredulously.
osu.32435004117560	“ Your letter? ” he repeated blankly, suddenly ap- prehensive.
osu.32435004117560	“ Your re- fusal to accept the obvious accounted for your solv- ing the Gilmore case. ” “ Where is the dead man? ” Price inquired.

nyp.33433076058613	About the emeralds?
nyp.33433076058613	Ah, Mr. Crick,cried the Bishop,"how go the prep- arations for the bazaar?
nyp.33433076058613	Ah, at yours? nyp.33433076058613 Ah, how is she?
nyp.33433076058613	Ah, that's better, eh, missy?
nyp.33433076058613	Ah, yes, and the man you told me of was a thief, too, was he not?
nyp.33433076058613	Am I likely to forget it here?
nyp.33433076058613	An adventuress?
nyp.33433076058613	And Jack Cardew, the Bishop's son, wants to marry my little girl?
nyp.33433076058613	And are you concealing this from your father?
nyp.33433076058613	And are you not shocked, Hester?
nyp.33433076058613	And does he eat that peculiarly repulsive pastry?
nyp.33433076058613	And have you never met him since then?
nyp.33433076058613	And how far from the county jail?
nyp.33433076058613	And how much is the ring, Bowman?
nyp.33433076058613	And may I ask who is your informant?
nyp.33433076058613	And pray, how do you arrive at that amazing con- clusion?
nyp.33433076058613	And what do they say?
nyp.33433076058613	And you'll be able to get married at once?
nyp.33433076058613	Anything more? nyp.33433076058613 Are all here?"
nyp.33433076058613	Are you hurt?
nyp.33433076058613	Are you sober — I mean, when did all this happen?
nyp.33433076058613	Are you sure, my dear Miss Cardew, that you are not thinking of the secret that lies hidden in your own heart?
nyp.33433076058613	At midnight?
nyp.33433076058613	Beatrice, my dear, you've heard the awful news?
nyp.33433076058613	Blind? nyp.33433076058613 Blunt generally knows a good thing when he sees it, eh, Blunt?"
nyp.33433076058613	But Mabel; is she all right?
nyp.33433076058613	But if the child died,murmured Mabel,"how was it you knew nothing about it until he told you?"
nyp.33433076058613	But my mother?
nyp.33433076058613	But what does it matter?
nyp.33433076058613	But you did n't see any woman, Caroline?
nyp.33433076058613	But you married Mr. Cardew — and you never told him?
nyp.33433076058613	Ca n't you discuss a simple matter likfe this with me frankly, and decide what is to be done?
nyp.33433076058613	Ca n't you see, Mabel, ca n't you understand, that your father has met me before? nyp.33433076058613 Ca n't you understand, Caroline?
nyp.33433076058613	Ca n't you?
nyp.33433076058613	Call me Dick?
nyp.33433076058613	Can you find no worse reproach for me than'spin- ster?' nyp.33433076058613 Come now, what is it?
nyp.33433076058613	Daughter? nyp.33433076058613 Dear me — dear me, is that so?"
nyp.33433076058613	Deceived me?
nyp.33433076058613	Dick Gordon, of Vienna?
nyp.33433076058613	Did I hear you cry out?
nyp.33433076058613	Did I say so? nyp.33433076058613 Did you call, sir?"
nyp.33433076058613	Did you speak, aunt?
nyp.33433076058613	Discard the one you like least and Bowman will buy it — won't you, Bowman?
nyp.33433076058613	Do I look old, Voss?
nyp.33433076058613	Do n't you think they're safe — not in there?
nyp.33433076058613	Do n't you, Caroline?
nyp.33433076058613	Do you dare impeach the girl's honor?
nyp.33433076058613	Do you hear what I say? nyp.33433076058613 Do you like it, Mabel?"
nyp.33433076058613	Do you mean that he deceived you, Beatrice?
nyp.33433076058613	Do you mean that my father knows that?
nyp.33433076058613	Do you mean that you were married secretly — mar- ried to the Bishop secretly?
nyp.33433076058613	Do you think I love the old boy? nyp.33433076058613 Do you think I've changed much in twenty years?"
nyp.33433076058613	Do you think me so vile that I could live on in de- ceit? nyp.33433076058613 Do you understand, Lady Hester — do you realize that the Bishop is treating him as an honored guest?
nyp.33433076058613	Does he know the life you're living?
nyp.33433076058613	Does she dress in clouds of white muslin, and go about unattended in the park in the morning, holding hands with men?
nyp.33433076058613	Does she know that you suspect it?
nyp.33433076058613	Eh? nyp.33433076058613 Eh?"
nyp.33433076058613	Empty my pockets, eh, and fill yours? nyp.33433076058613 Fair as the bosom that bears it — eh?
nyp.33433076058613	For God's sake, tell me what has happened, Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Forgot me in your dinner party last night, did n't you?
nyp.33433076058613	Forgot, eh?
nyp.33433076058613	Frankly, Caroline? nyp.33433076058613 Fright?"
nyp.33433076058613	Frocks? nyp.33433076058613 Go on where?"
nyp.33433076058613	Goodness gracious, you do n't mean to say you are still harping on that old idea? nyp.33433076058613 Has he had it long?"
nyp.33433076058613	Has the Bishop's son got any money, Voss?
nyp.33433076058613	Have n't I had enough of your insolence to- night without being obliged to listen to more? nyp.33433076058613 Have n't I told you before that I wo n't al- low business to be discussed while there is a third per- son in the house?"
nyp.33433076058613	Have they been worrying you? nyp.33433076058613 Have you any suggestions, Voss?"
nyp.33433076058613	Have you decided?
nyp.33433076058613	Have you done, father?
nyp.33433076058613	Have you forgotten that you are my heir, Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Have you no more vile insinuations?
nyp.33433076058613	Have you noticed my recent interest in land agents'catalogues and County Life?
nyp.33433076058613	Have you settled the fate of the gambler's daughter?
nyp.33433076058613	He's rather a dog, is n't he?
nyp.33433076058613	Hester, Hester, what's the matter?
nyp.33433076058613	Hester, this is a woman's veil, is n't it?
nyp.33433076058613	Hester, what is the matter with Mabel?
nyp.33433076058613	Ho, ho,we are haughty, are we?
nyp.33433076058613	How dare you insult me by such a question?
nyp.33433076058613	How did Aunt Caroline take it?
nyp.33433076058613	How do you know?
nyp.33433076058613	How do you think I manage to keep up a house in town and the cottage at Ripley, and horses, and ser- vants?
nyp.33433076058613	How is she, Beatrice?
nyp.33433076058613	How should I know?
nyp.33433076058613	How will that do?
nyp.33433076058613	I called? nyp.33433076058613 I tell you you have killed Lady Hester Cardew""Well, what if I have?
nyp.33433076058613	I — why should you think that I have any knowl- edge of it?
nyp.33433076058613	I?
nyp.33433076058613	In the motor? nyp.33433076058613 Indeed, is that so?
nyp.33433076058613	Is Miss Cardew with her?
nyp.33433076058613	Is all well with you?
nyp.33433076058613	Is he any better?
nyp.33433076058613	Is it mine, then?
nyp.33433076058613	Is it much further up, Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Is it?
nyp.33433076058613	Is that a thing a man wears?
nyp.33433076058613	Is that all you want?
nyp.33433076058613	Is that an emerald?
nyp.33433076058613	Is that front bit too high?
nyp.33433076058613	Is that the one?
nyp.33433076058613	Is this where you work and live?
nyp.33433076058613	It's rather an awkward thing for us to move in the matter, is n't it? nyp.33433076058613 Jack, who saw to your bringing up?"
nyp.33433076058613	Jack, you here at this time of night? nyp.33433076058613 Jack, you would n't like them to say that you had married an adventuress?"
nyp.33433076058613	Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Jack?—here?
nyp.33433076058613	Knows?
nyp.33433076058613	Little wife, eh? nyp.33433076058613 Look here, Mabel, is all this emotion and agitation due to what you overheard of Aunt Caroline's conver- sation in the Temple about Beatrice Carew?
nyp.33433076058613	Mabel, I'm coming in — may I?
nyp.33433076058613	Mabel, Mabel, are you the nice, reasonable, clear- headed girl with a sense of humor that I grew so fond of? nyp.33433076058613 Mabel, Mabel, can you keep a secret if I tell you something — something about myself that you do n't know — that nobody knows?
nyp.33433076058613	Mabel, are n't you happy? nyp.33433076058613 Mabel, you might have told me you expected visitors, or have you arranged this as a surprise for me?
nyp.33433076058613	Mother?
nyp.33433076058613	Needless misery for you? nyp.33433076058613 Never intend?
nyp.33433076058613	Never work, my child? nyp.33433076058613 No sound, do you hear — do you understand?"
nyp.33433076058613	No worse?
nyp.33433076058613	No? nyp.33433076058613 No?"
nyp.33433076058613	Not Jack's then?
nyp.33433076058613	Of course, you'll go?
nyp.33433076058613	Offered you money to take Mabel away?
nyp.33433076058613	Oh, Jack, ca n't we avoid secrecy and deceit?
nyp.33433076058613	Oh, Lady Hester, you wo n't interfere? nyp.33433076058613 Oh, how can I make you understand?
nyp.33433076058613	Oh, if that's what you want why did n't you say so at first? nyp.33433076058613 Oh, my dear — you're better?
nyp.33433076058613	Oh, so twenty thousand pounds is your price? nyp.33433076058613 Oh, what would Jack say if he knew?"
nyp.33433076058613	Oh, what would Jack think if he knew? nyp.33433076058613 Old — what do you mean?"
nyp.33433076058613	Philandering, aunt? nyp.33433076058613 Quite sure?"
nyp.33433076058613	Ruined me? nyp.33433076058613 Secretly?"
nyp.33433076058613	Shall I sit by him?
nyp.33433076058613	Shall we return now?
nyp.33433076058613	She will steal for you — steal — and continue to live with the Bishop?
nyp.33433076058613	So you are going to marry Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Some what?
nyp.33433076058613	Some- times I wish — I wish that you and Jack"Oh, Aunt Caroline has been talking about me and Jack, has she? nyp.33433076058613 Tell me, was it a stroke?"
nyp.33433076058613	Tell me, what do you know about him? nyp.33433076058613 That rests with Jack, does n't it?"
nyp.33433076058613	That will mean an income, wo n't it, my boy?
nyp.33433076058613	The life I'm leading? nyp.33433076058613 The stones are large, are n't they?
nyp.33433076058613	Then he's not a very particular chap — eh? nyp.33433076058613 Then she has no idea who you really are?"
nyp.33433076058613	Then what is there to worry about?
nyp.33433076058613	Then why did she call you Dick?
nyp.33433076058613	Then why in heaven's name this display of antago- nism?
nyp.33433076058613	Then why is n't she glad to hear he is coming home? nyp.33433076058613 Then why unhappy when everything is coming your way?
nyp.33433076058613	Then you are expecting him?
nyp.33433076058613	Then you were never married to my father?
nyp.33433076058613	Then you will get them for me?
nyp.33433076058613	There ai n't many girls I could n't teach a thing or two, eh?
nyp.33433076058613	There is no immediate danger?
nyp.33433076058613	They're worth their money now — emeralds?
nyp.33433076058613	This illness of your husband's — is it serious?
nyp.33433076058613	This veil, Hester, are you sure it is yours?
nyp.33433076058613	To- night — here? nyp.33433076058613 Tut, tut, who listens to the gossip in the papers?"
nyp.33433076058613	Twenty thousand pounds did you say they were worth?
nyp.33433076058613	Voss? nyp.33433076058613 Was he honest?"
nyp.33433076058613	Was that not bad enough?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, Bannister — well, Mabel, what do you think of Dingle Hall?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, Mr. Crick, what is it?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, and have you decided?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, and how is he?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, and what do you think, Voss?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, her name is Mabel, is n't it? nyp.33433076058613 Well, it is n't Caroline's, is it, with those gold threads?
nyp.33433076058613	Well, little one, and what is your news? nyp.33433076058613 Well, madam, and why am I favored by this mid- night visit?"
nyp.33433076058613	Well?
nyp.33433076058613	Well?
nyp.33433076058613	What are you doing down here at this hour of the night?
nyp.33433076058613	What are you suggesting? nyp.33433076058613 What are your terms?"
nyp.33433076058613	What can Beatrice have to write to us about?
nyp.33433076058613	What can I do?
nyp.33433076058613	What did I tell you? nyp.33433076058613 What did you say?"
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean to do — what do you mean to do?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean? nyp.33433076058613 What do you mean?"
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you think I came down for but to see you?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you think of it?
nyp.33433076058613	What happened last night after I left?
nyp.33433076058613	What has happened — what is it?
nyp.33433076058613	What has he told you?
nyp.33433076058613	What have you been doing, Mabel?
nyp.33433076058613	What have you got there, John—-my veil?
nyp.33433076058613	What inquiries could I make? nyp.33433076058613 What interview?"
nyp.33433076058613	What is it to be now, then — fighting? nyp.33433076058613 What is it you want, Caroline?"
nyp.33433076058613	What is it, sir — what has happened?
nyp.33433076058613	What is it? nyp.33433076058613 What is it?"
nyp.33433076058613	What is it?
nyp.33433076058613	What is the meaning of this?
nyp.33433076058613	What is the meaning of your elaborate fraud about Dingle Hall, and your talk of allowing a thousand a year to Mabel? nyp.33433076058613 What shall I do with her?
nyp.33433076058613	What's the fuss?
nyp.33433076058613	What's the matter, Mabel? nyp.33433076058613 What's the matter?"
nyp.33433076058613	What's this — locked in?
nyp.33433076058613	What, all of you?
nyp.33433076058613	What, crying?
nyp.33433076058613	What, has she been wandering?
nyp.33433076058613	When did your mother die, child?
nyp.33433076058613	Where have you been?
nyp.33433076058613	Where is she?
nyp.33433076058613	Where on earth did that come from?
nyp.33433076058613	Where's my man, Voss?
nyp.33433076058613	Where's your friend who adores roses, then, eh? nyp.33433076058613 Wherever have I heard that name before?
nyp.33433076058613	Who is it?
nyp.33433076058613	Who is she, Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Who is she? nyp.33433076058613 Who it is?"
nyp.33433076058613	Who the — dickens are you?
nyp.33433076058613	Who told you she was alive still — my father?
nyp.33433076058613	Who was the girl's mother, Mr. Crick? nyp.33433076058613 Who — are you?"
nyp.33433076058613	Who — the Polish princesses?
nyp.33433076058613	Who'd thought of finding you at the top of so many stairs, Jack — and such dirty ones?
nyp.33433076058613	Who's contradicting?
nyp.33433076058613	Who's the girl, Jack?
nyp.33433076058613	Who's there?
nyp.33433076058613	Why are n't you in bed?
nyp.33433076058613	Why are you laughing, dear?
nyp.33433076058613	Why did n't you die? nyp.33433076058613 Why did n't you tell me you were coming to town, child, then I could have sent the carriage?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why did you deceive me? nyp.33433076058613 Why did you do it?
nyp.33433076058613	Why did you wear them; oh, why did you wear them? nyp.33433076058613 Why do you laugh like that, father?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why do you object to him, father?
nyp.33433076058613	Why do you say that?
nyp.33433076058613	Why have you poisoned Mabel's mind against me?
nyp.33433076058613	Why not, my child?
nyp.33433076058613	Why should I be compelled to live apart from my wife?
nyp.33433076058613	Why should you be so afraid of my father, Lady Hester? nyp.33433076058613 Why was she going out at this hour — before break- fast?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why?
nyp.33433076058613	Why?
nyp.33433076058613	With Aunt Caroline there?

nyp.33433076058613	THE BISHOP'S EMERALDS I 33 “ Who is it? ” “ It is I — Mabel.
nyp.33433076058613	That he had been lying to the jeweler she was certain, but to what end?
nyp.33433076058613	That looked queer, did n't it?"
nyp.33433076058613	The Bishop himself broke the ice with a sudden dis- concerting question: —"When did you last see Mabel Bannister, Jack?"
nyp.33433076058613	The first thought that flashed through his brain was a pro- fessional one—"I wonder where she keeps them — in her brother's safe?"
nyp.33433076058613	Then whose child am I?
nyp.33433076058613	Then, after a pause,"Going?"
nyp.33433076058613	Then, turning to Blunt,"It ought to be enough for a girl — eh, Blunt?"
nyp.33433076058613	To- morrow — as soon as that?
nyp.33433076058613	Upon what income, and how derived?
nyp.33433076058613	Was anything true or real about her?
nyp.33433076058613	Was he a friend of yours whom I resemble?"
nyp.33433076058613	Was he a jockey?"
nyp.33433076058613	Was it true?
nyp.33433076058613	Was it, after all, a delusion?
nyp.33433076058613	Was this last pronouncement of the same order?
nyp.33433076058613	Were you divorced?"
nyp.33433076058613	Were you playing with me?
nyp.33433076058613	What about the Bishop's emeralds?"
nyp.33433076058613	What about young Blunt?"
nyp.33433076058613	What becomes of the children of dissolute men farmed out among harpies and murderesses?
nyp.33433076058613	What do girls like, now?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076058613	What do you think of that?"
nyp.33433076058613	What do you think?
nyp.33433076058613	What does it matter what becomes of me — whether I die in the gutter, or in the workhouse — or in the Thames?"
nyp.33433076058613	What does she know?"
nyp.33433076058613	What else?"
nyp.33433076058613	What has happened to her?"
nyp.33433076058613	What has happened?"
nyp.33433076058613	What has happened?"
nyp.33433076058613	What has he got to deceive me about?"
nyp.33433076058613	What has my brother done?
nyp.33433076058613	What has that to do with it?"
nyp.33433076058613	What have I done?
nyp.33433076058613	What have I done?
nyp.33433076058613	What have you been doing?"
nyp.33433076058613	What have you come for?"
nyp.33433076058613	What have you done?
nyp.33433076058613	What have you done?
nyp.33433076058613	What have you to say to me?
nyp.33433076058613	What is going on in the house among you women?
nyp.33433076058613	What is it to be, the police or a cheque?"
nyp.33433076058613	What is it?
nyp.33433076058613	What is it?
nyp.33433076058613	What is it?
nyp.33433076058613	What is seven thousand pounds?"
nyp.33433076058613	What is there ugly about them?"
nyp.33433076058613	What is your objection to the girl?
nyp.33433076058613	What line of action must she take?
nyp.33433076058613	What mattered the future?
nyp.33433076058613	What sort of bringing- up has she had?
nyp.33433076058613	What was behind the veil of that new modesty?
nyp.33433076058613	What was her maiden name?"
nyp.33433076058613	What was it?
nyp.33433076058613	What was the girl doing in Jack's chambers unattended?
nyp.33433076058613	What was there wrong in that?
nyp.33433076058613	What will happen?"
nyp.33433076058613	What will he do when he finds out?
nyp.33433076058613	What will he do?"
nyp.33433076058613	What would he say if he knew you were shopping in Kensington Gardens — eh?"
nyp.33433076058613	What would he say if he knew?
nyp.33433076058613	What would he think of her as the decoy and cat's- paw of a rascal who had used her to get into the Palace solely for the purpose of robbery?
nyp.33433076058613	What would you have me do?
nyp.33433076058613	What would you have me do?"
nyp.33433076058613	What's the matter with Mabel?
nyp.33433076058613	What's the matter, dear?
nyp.33433076058613	What's the matter?
nyp.33433076058613	When did they re- lease him from the asylum? ” “ From the asylum? ” gasped Aunt Caroline.
nyp.33433076058613	When did they re- lease him from the asylum? ” “ From the asylum? ” gasped Aunt Caroline.
nyp.33433076058613	When do you think you'll get mar- ried?
nyp.33433076058613	When shall they be — stolen?"
nyp.33433076058613	When's the wedding?"
nyp.33433076058613	Where do you get these notions?"
nyp.33433076058613	Where's Mabel?"
nyp.33433076058613	Where's the chauffeur who came down with me from town?"
nyp.33433076058613	While his back was turned he casually remarked —"Would you be surprised to hear, Voss, that my silly girl is going to marry the Bishop's son?"
nyp.33433076058613	Who is Voss?
nyp.33433076058613	Who was my mother?"
nyp.33433076058613	Who was she?
nyp.33433076058613	Who zvas your mother?"
nyp.33433076058613	Who'd have thought of expecting you?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why did he hide the child away?
nyp.33433076058613	Why did n't they invite me last night?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why did n't you come with me in the motor?
nyp.33433076058613	Why did you tell me that my child was dead?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why do n't you go back to Vienna, Dick Gordon?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why do you worry me?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why had she always 36 THE BISHOP'S EMERALDS lived apart from her father?
nyp.33433076058613	Why had she been so rash?
nyp.33433076058613	Why have you changed so utterly?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why have you come back to torture me and ruin me?
nyp.33433076058613	Why have you come?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why is Hester in such a hurry to marry them?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why is it that vir- tuous indignation — and everything else virtuous, in fact — is so horribly distorting and self- torturing?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why not take the bribe, anyway?
nyp.33433076058613	Why not the story of the child's death, too?
nyp.33433076058613	Why should I call you?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why should I suffer tor- tures of loneliness?
nyp.33433076058613	Why should he be held responsible if his friends drank more than was good for them?
nyp.33433076058613	Why should she worry Jack with her troubles when he had so many of his own?
nyp.33433076058613	Why should we ever regret?"
nyp.33433076058613	Why, how many hours is it since we parted in Kensington Gardens?
nyp.33433076058613	Why?"
nyp.33433076058613	Will you go, or must I appeal to your daughter and offer her the money?
nyp.33433076058613	Will you ruin him forever?
nyp.33433076058613	Will you shut your eyes and ears to the truth?
nyp.33433076058613	Would it be asking too much to have my room changed? ” “ Certainly, if you wish it.
nyp.33433076058613	Would it be in a dreadful shop?
nyp.33433076058613	Would n't somebody else step into the breach?
nyp.33433076058613	Would you be so kind as to direct me?"
nyp.33433076058613	Yet what did it matter?
nyp.33433076058613	You ca n't mean it?"
nyp.33433076058613	You do n't ask how Mabel is?"
nyp.33433076058613	You do n't doubt the truth of what I have told you?"
nyp.33433076058613	You do n't know?"
nyp.33433076058613	You do n't really want the place?"
nyp.33433076058613	You have quarrelled, then?"
nyp.33433076058613	You know him?"
nyp.33433076058613	You like him?"
nyp.33433076058613	You promise?"
nyp.33433076058613	You remem- ber that I told you I had secrets which I kept too well when I married again?"
nyp.33433076058613	You remember the woman I got prosecuted at George Street — the one who got rid of five children in a year, and not one of them her own?"
nyp.33433076058613	You surely do not suppose that I am going away when my daughter lies ill upstairs?"
nyp.33433076058613	You understand?"
nyp.33433076058613	You wo n't wear the emeralds to- night?"
nyp.33433076058613	You •mustn't mention to a living soul what I am going to tell you?
nyp.33433076058613	You're not regretting?"
nyp.33433076058613	You, Mabel, what do you think of it?"
nyp.33433076058613	how d'you do?
nyp.33433076058613	i94 THE BISHOP'S EMERALDS"What are we to do then, Voss?
nyp.33433076058613	is it not beautiful?"
nyp.33433076058613	struggle up these stairs again for tea?
nyp.33433076058613	what am I saying?
nyp.33433076058613	what am I saying?"
nyp.33433076058613	what are you laughing at?
nyp.33433076058613	where you were married, too, was n't it?"
nyp.33433076058613	why could n't you wait?
nyp.33433076058613	“ What were you doing in my room? ” “ I in your room, my lady?
nyp.33433076058613	“ What were you doing in my room? ” “ I in your room, my lady?
osu.32435017825928	* “ Where is she — tell me? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017825928	*: should really be gone* only a shor 15een fooled p and should return to fin'that she ha ed over the wire?
osu.32435017825928	- “ Did a car pass here, just now — a big car? ” called Craig.
osu.32435017825928	- “ Is — is there no other way but to surrender? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	- “ That was n’t that way when we left, was it, Wal- ter? ” he asked.
osu.32435017825928	- “ What — not ready yet? ” growled the Clutching Hand.
osu.32435017825928	- “ Who is that woman? ” she asked, still wondering about the identity of the Niobe outside.
osu.32435017825928	136 THE EXPLOITS OF ELAINE “ And you — you say — you married this — this woman to Taylor Dodge? ” queried Elaine, tensely.
osu.32435017825928	238 THE EXPLOITS OF ELAINE “ See that? ” he added, holding it up.
osu.32435017825928	32 THE EXPLOITS OF ELAINE “ Why, Craig, ” I exclaimed excitedly, “ what do you mean? ” “ Exactly what I say.
osu.32435017825928	58 THE EXPLOITS OF ELAINE What was that?
osu.32435017825928	A key hole is just as good. ” “ Do you realize how little you can really see through a key hole? ” he replied confidently.
osu.32435017825928	At exactly half past, I want you to do as I told you — see? ” The other crook nodded.
osu.32435017825928	Bennett, ” she exclaimed over the wire, “ just guess who called on me? ” “ Who? ” he answered, “ I give it up. ” “ Mr.
osu.32435017825928	Bennett, ” she exclaimed over the wire, “ just guess who called on me? ” “ Who? ” he answered, “ I give it up. ” “ Mr.
osu.32435017825928	But what could we do?
osu.32435017825928	Ca n't you let us in so we can leave it? ” Jensen muttered.
osu.32435017825928	Ca n't you tell us how to get out? ” Long's only answer was to spread out his hands in polite deprecation and shrug his suave shoulders.
osu.32435017825928	Can he do it? ” asked Elaine eagerly.
osu.32435017825928	Could it be Jennings?
osu.32435017825928	Could it have been to get the evidence which Dodge had that would in- criminate the master criminal?
osu.32435017825928	Did you have any breakfast? ” I tossed down the letters.
osu.32435017825928	Do n't you see, I'm perfectly able to take care of myself?
osu.32435017825928	Do n’t you remember it? ” I asked.
osu.32435017825928	Do you see those lines?
osu.32435017825928	Dodge? ” asked Kennedy.
osu.32435017825928	Get me? ” “ I get you Steve, ” she laughed.
osu.32435017825928	Had he been seeing things or hearing things, I wondered?
osu.32435017825928	Have you done anything yet in the little matter we talked about? ” “ Say — be careful of names — over the wire, ” came a growl.
osu.32435017825928	He was plainly ill. “ How long has Rusty been in the room? ” asked Craig.
osu.32435017825928	How could any woman scorn him?
osu.32435017825928	How did it happen? ” Elaine quickly told the story as I had told her.
osu.32435017825928	How futile was it all in the presence of the great destroyer?
osu.32435017825928	I know he wanted to laugh and say, “ You — a mur- deress? ” yet he would not have offended even her self accusation for the world.
osu.32435017825928	I remember everyone I marry. ” “ And you remember to whom you married me? ” “ Perfectly.
osu.32435017825928	I suppose they ’ve put some one up to say- ing she's engaged? ”- Elaine was not so lightly affected.
osu.32435017825928	If I did, might he not pick us both off, from a safe vantage point, by some sharpshooting skill?
osu.32435017825928	If it was a murder, what was the motive?
osu.32435017825928	In the safe? ” “ Why, yes, and the safe is all covered with mois- ture — and so cold. ” “ Moisture — cold? ” he repeated quickly.
osu.32435017825928	In the safe? ” “ Why, yes, and the safe is all covered with mois- ture — and so cold. ” “ Moisture — cold? ” he repeated quickly.
osu.32435017825928	In which closet does the minister keep them? ” The crook, without a word, went to a closet and took out a suit of clothes of ministerial cut.
osu.32435017825928	It must be all right with such people in it. ” “ Can you go with me now? ” “ Just as well as later, ” agreed Elaine.
osu.32435017825928	It shows the characteristic electric burn. ” “ The motive? ” I queried.
osu.32435017825928	Jameson, please — ca n’t I go with you? ” I turned.
osu.32435017825928	Morton? ” he asked as he got the number he called.
osu.32435017825928	Or was it just the galvanic effect of the current?
osu.32435017825928	Or was it our heightened imaginations, un- der the spell of the darkness?
osu.32435017825928	Or was someone out- side?
osu.32435017825928	See how I fixed it?
osu.32435017825928	See?
osu.32435017825928	See? ” I nodded.
osu.32435017825928	See? ” Kennedy had already started to fasten the tele- graphone to the wires he had selected from the tangle.
osu.32435017825928	Should I leave him and go to Craig?
osu.32435017825928	Should he defend his rudeness, if she did not under- stand?
osu.32435017825928	Should he flee?
osu.32435017825928	Silence?
osu.32435017825928	Suppose the oxygen gave out?
osu.32435017825928	THE VAMPIRE III “ How's the patient? ” asked Dr. Morton, eagerly.
osu.32435017825928	THE VANISHING JEWELS 5I “ What's the matter, old man? ” I asked, helping him to his feet.
osu.32435017825928	Was anything wrong?
osu.32435017825928	Was he possessed by such an in- ordinate jealousy of Bennett?
osu.32435017825928	Was it a muffled scream?
osu.32435017825928	Was it the surprise of an innocent man?
osu.32435017825928	Was she dead?
osu.32435017825928	Was this Kennedy?
osu.32435017825928	Was this the end?
osu.32435017825928	Well — just look who's here! ” “ Some new fandangled periscope arrangement, I suppose? ” I queried moving slowly over toward it.
osu.32435017825928	Were such things as these going to happen to her, without Kennedy's help?
osu.32435017825928	Were we only to be ship- wrecked in sight of port?
osu.32435017825928	What did he think he could do — blocks away?
osu.32435017825928	What did it all mean?
osu.32435017825928	What does she look like? ” “ I never saw her before, Miss Elaine, ” Jennings shrugged.
osu.32435017825928	What does she mean? ”- Bennett hesitated.
osu.32435017825928	What had we better do? ” For a few moments no one said a word.
osu.32435017825928	What is it? ” Then, looking about, Clutching Hand quickly took in the situation.
osu.32435017825928	What is it? ” muttered a gruff voice.
osu.32435017825928	What is on your mind?
osu.32435017825928	What should I do?
osu.32435017825928	What should she do?
osu.32435017825928	What should she do?
osu.32435017825928	What to do?
osu.32435017825928	What was that scratching noise?
osu.32435017825928	What's that? ” cautioned one of the men.
osu.32435017825928	Where do you live? ” “ At Hazlehurst, ” she replied, gratefully.
osu.32435017825928	Where was Clutching Hand?
osu.32435017825928	Where was Craig?
osu.32435017825928	Where was Kennedy?
osu.32435017825928	Why had they quarreled?
osu.32435017825928	Why not put her in there?
osu.32435017825928	Will he shoot me?
osu.32435017825928	Will you allow me? ” “ Mercy, no! ” protested Aunt Josephine.
osu.32435017825928	Would he never throw it?
osu.32435017825928	Would it bring help?
osu.32435017825928	Would no one hear her?
osu.32435017825928	Would the machine succeed?
osu.32435017825928	Would we be in time to rescue Elaine?
osu.32435017825928	You say it is made up of separate words and type cut from news- papers and pasted on note paper? ” I handed him paper and pencil.
osu.32435017825928	“ A clue — perhaps. ”- “ What — those little marks — a clue? ” asked a voice behind us.
osu.32435017825928	“ And the pain? ” he asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ And you really were — put out by a kiss? ” I queried, as she led me into a neat sitting room.
osu.32435017825928	“ And you say they have no recollection of any- thing that happens? ” asked Reinstrom.
osu.32435017825928	“ And you think this Clutching Hand has never re- covered the incriminating papers that caused him to murder your father? ” asked Susie.
osu.32435017825928	“ And, oh, do you know, the strangest thing happened yesterday?
osu.32435017825928	“ Another watch? ” repeated Bennett, amazed.
osu.32435017825928	“ Are there any operations going on now? ” I asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ Are you all right? ” “ Yes — all right,—thanks to the vocaphone. ” She had understood in an instant.
osu.32435017825928	“ Are you all right? ” “ Yes — all right. ” “ Thank heaven! ” breathed Craig, pushing me aside.
osu.32435017825928	“ Are you sure? ” “ Quite, ” replied Kennedy, consulting his note book again.
osu.32435017825928	“ Are you — all right? ” she gasped, as they reached the foot of the ladder in the belfry.
osu.32435017825928	“ But do you think that is all right?
osu.32435017825928	“ But suppose the door has no transom? ” he asked, pointing to our own door.
osu.32435017825928	“ But you have n’t heard the latest. ” “ What is it? ” he asked with provoking calmness.
osu.32435017825928	“ Ca n't we drive you around? ” We climbed in and a moment later were off.
osu.32435017825928	“ Can I find a bloodhound about here? ” “ A hound?
osu.32435017825928	“ Can I find a bloodhound about here? ” “ A hound?
osu.32435017825928	“ Care for it? ” he repeated.
osu.32435017825928	“ Chief, ” he whispered eagerly, “ You know Ad- venturess Mary?
osu.32435017825928	“ Come with me and I will show you the church records and the min- ister who married us. ” “ You will? ” repeated Elaine defiantly.
osu.32435017825928	“ Craig, ” she murmured, “ you — you've saved my life I? ” Her tone was eloquent.
osu.32435017825928	“ Did you notice the number of the car? ” asked Craig eagerly.
osu.32435017825928	“ Did you wish to see Mr. Bennett? ” asked the pre- cocious Milton politely on one hand while on the other he made a wry grimace.
osu.32435017825928	“ Do it?
osu.32435017825928	“ Do n’t you understand? ” I explained, laughing merrily.
osu.32435017825928	“ Do n’t you understand? ” he went on.
osu.32435017825928	“ Do you know the combination? ’ he asks me.
osu.32435017825928	“ Do you know why the servant allowed us to leave the apartment? ” whispered Mary with a glance about fearfully, as if the walls had ears.
osu.32435017825928	“ Do you see anything, Walter? ” he called.
osu.32435017825928	“ Do you?
osu.32435017825928	“ Do? ” replied Kennedy, laughing contemptuously at the apparently futile threat, “ why, nothing.
osu.32435017825928	“ Fine. ” THE DEATH RAY I8I “ And they're gone? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435017825928	“ Have you read them? ” came back the voice quickly.
osu.32435017825928	“ Have you read them? ” he asked, curbing his i m"patience as she unsuspectingly poured forth her story, supposedly to me.
osu.32435017825928	“ Hey, you fellows — what are you doing there? ” he shouted.
osu.32435017825928	“ How about those bracelet watches? ” The clerk pulled out some of the cheaper ones.
osu.32435017825928	“ How can you tell anything by that? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ How did it happen? ” he asked at length.
osu.32435017825928	“ How do you do? ” I nodded to the nurse in a modulated tone.
osu.32435017825928	“ How long has he known? ” he demanded eagerly.
osu.32435017825928	“ How's that? ” I queried.
osu.32435017825928	“ Huh! ” growled the master criminal, covering the fact that he was considerably relieved to see him at last, “ where have you been?
osu.32435017825928	“ I knew you would. ” “ Got what? ” I asked a moment later.
osu.32435017825928	“ I may write here? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ I see three gentlemen come out and get into an automobile. ” “ Which way did they go? ” asked Kennedy.
osu.32435017825928	“ I wonder whether I locked these windows? ” mut- tered Jennings, pausing in the hallway.
osu.32435017825928	“ I ’ve rigged it so that you'll reach him through Jameson, understand? ” They nodded eagerly as he told them the subtle plan.
osu.32435017825928	“ Indeed? ” he remarked coolly going back to the reaction.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is Jennings there? ” he asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is he all right? ” “ Of course he is — in bed, ” replied the butler.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is he sick, too? ”| i THE POISONED ROOM 9I “ Why – yes, ” answered Elaine, following Craig with her deep eyes.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is n't it a beauty? ” cried Elaine, holding it out from her, as they entered the library and examining it with great appreciation.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is n’t that fine?
osu.32435017825928	“ Is she — going to — die? ” gasped Craig, fran- tically.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is that so? ” he returned.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is that you, Craig? ” I inquired.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is that you, Craig? ” she asked excitedly.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is that you? ” No answer.
osu.32435017825928	“ Is this Mr. Jameson? ” asked the voice.
osu.32435017825928	“ Lady, ” he disguised his voice, “ will yer please ter call off the dog?
osu.32435017825928	“ May I take Rusty along with me? ” he asked finally.
osu.32435017825928	“ May I use your telephone? ” I asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ Might I — er — see your room, Miss Dodge? ” he asked at length.
osu.32435017825928	“ Miss Dodge, will you arrange that spark and throttle? ” Elaine, equal to anything, did so, and Craig bent down and cranked the engine.
osu.32435017825928	“ Miss Dodge, ” he added, “ will you and the rest excuse me if I ask you to wait just a moment longer? ” Elaine watched him, fascinated.
osu.32435017825928	“ Miss Sears, ” he asked of one of the nurses, “ will you bring me that hypodermic needle?
osu.32435017825928	“ Miss Sears, ” he asked rather testily, “ what have you done with the hypodermic and the scopolamine? ” “ Nothing, ” she protested.
osu.32435017825928	“ Must you go, too, Mr. Kennedy? ” she asked, notic- ing his position.
osu.32435017825928	“ No – shall I? ” “ Then do n’t unseal them, ” cautioned the voice.
osu.32435017825928	“ No — why? ” inquired Elaine anxiously.
osu.32435017825928	“ None of your mirrors for me. ” “ I know, ” I said somewhat nettled, “ but what can you see through that putty blower?
osu.32435017825928	“ Now, do you see what I have just thought of — no?
osu.32435017825928	“ Oh, Mr. Kennedy, how can I ever thank you? ” She seemed overcome with gratitude and took his hand, pressed it, even kissed it.
osu.32435017825928	“ Oh, why did I send him away?
osu.32435017825928	“ Patient? ” repeated the man, rubbing his eyes.
osu.32435017825928	“ Police l ’ ’ “ Where? ” growled the Clutching Hand in fury.
osu.32435017825928	“ Remember you? ” he repeated.
osu.32435017825928	“ Say, bo, ” he asked of the rough fellow, “ what does Clutching Hand want with her?
osu.32435017825928	“ Say, ” blurted out the informer, “ do you know Kennedy and Jameson are back? ” “ Back? ” cried the crooks.
osu.32435017825928	“ Say, ” blurted out the informer, “ do you know Kennedy and Jameson are back? ” “ Back? ” cried the crooks.
osu.32435017825928	“ See that old boiler down there at the edge of the water?
osu.32435017825928	“ See? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017825928	“ Telephone?
osu.32435017825928	“ Tell me, ” Elaine cried, “ Is there — can there be anything in it?
osu.32435017825928	“ That?
osu.32435017825928	“ The way to do it is to separate Kennedy and Elaine — See? ” “ All right, Chief, we'll do it, ” they replied.
osu.32435017825928	“ There's no one sick here. ” “ Then what did you telephone for? ” asked the doctor peevishly.
osu.32435017825928	“ Thermit? ” I repeated.
osu.32435017825928	“ Was it natural, an accident, or — or murder? ” The word seemed to stick in my throat.
osu.32435017825928	“ Weepy Mary, ” between sobs, managed to blurt out, “ You are Miss Elaine Dodge, are n’t you?
osu.32435017825928	“ Well — are you coming, Walter? ” he asked finally — the only answer to my flood of caution.
osu.32435017825928	“ Well, how did your infra- red rays work? ” he asked LeCroix.
osu.32435017825928	“ Well, now we ’ve got her, what shall we do with her? ” asked one.
osu.32435017825928	“ Well, what do you want? ” asked the officer, eye- ing Kennedy suspiciously as he stood there with the armor.
osu.32435017825928	“ Well, where did he go? ” insisted Bennett.
osu.32435017825928	“ Well, where shall it be? ” asked another.
osu.32435017825928	“ Well, ” she gasped again, “ what's the occasion of this? ” Craig gazed at Elaine in silence.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wh — what's it all about? ” inquired Elaine ex- citedly.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wh- what do you think of that? ” he gasped.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wh- what's the matter, Craig? ” I blurted out eagerly.
osu.32435017825928	“ What are those curtains? ” They pulled them back, disclosing an iron door.
osu.32435017825928	“ What are we to do? ” I asked helplessly of Ken- nedy, when we had at last got him on his feet.
osu.32435017825928	“ What are you going here for, Thomas? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What are you thinking of doing? ” asked Aunt Josephine keenly.
osu.32435017825928	“ What d'ye see, Bill? ” he asked, handing over the glass.
osu.32435017825928	“ What do you mean — tell me? ” demanded Ken- nedy with forced calm.
osu.32435017825928	“ What do you mean, sir, by such conduct? ” Slowly he bowed.
osu.32435017825928	“ What do you think of it? ” he inquired.
osu.32435017825928	“ What does all this mean? ” she demanded.
osu.32435017825928	“ What happened? ” she asked, looking at Elaine.
osu.32435017825928	“ What has happened? ” demanded Kennedy breath- lessly.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it, Marie? ” he replied.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” I asked as he joined up the tubes from the tanks to the peculiar hook- like apparatus he carried.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” I asked indicating the apparatus.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” I asked, mystified.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” I asked, retracing my steps.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” I asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” asked Elaine, appealing to him.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” demanded Elaine.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” prompted Craig, seeing that at last they were all alone.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is it? ” we asked, crowding about him.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is that? ” I asked as he completed his work.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is that? ” cried Elaine, still blankly wonder- 1ng.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is the matter, Marie? ” asked Elaine, laying down her book.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is the matter? ” he asked at length.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is the poison? ” I asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What is the trouble, do you think? ” asked Elaine wonderingly, noticing his manner.
osu.32435017825928	“ What shall we do with this and the other stuff? ” asked the Irish porter.
osu.32435017825928	“ What shall we do? ” asked Elaine.
osu.32435017825928	“ What time is it, dear? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What was it? ” I asked eagerly.
osu.32435017825928	“ What was it? ” I whispered.
osu.32435017825928	“ What ’s that? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's all that? ” I asked inquisitively.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's it all about, Craig? ” I whispered, mysti- fied.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's that instrument you are using? ” “ A bolometer, invented by the late Professor Lang- ley, ” he replied, his attention riveted on it.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's that thing? ” I puffed, as I helped Craig with the headgear.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's that? ” I ejaculated, horror stricken.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the big idea, Walter? ” he asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the matter with Rusty? ” he asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the matter, here? ” he panted.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the matter? ” I asked, non- plussed.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the matter? ” asked Craig, impatiently jumping out and bending over the engine, too.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the matter? ” cried Aunt Josephine coming in where the footman and the maid were arguing what was to be done.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's the matter? ” she asked, anxiously.
osu.32435017825928	“ What's them pieces of tin — hey? ” Kennedy quickly flashed his own special badge.
osu.32435017825928	“ What? ” cried Mary, starting up and trembling violently.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where 36 THE EXPLOITS OF ELAINE else did your father keep papers? ” he hisses fiercely, still threatening me with the gun.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where did this package come from? ” asked Kennedy of Jennings suspiciously.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where did you get this package? ” shot out Kennedy.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where else did your father keep papers? ’ I point in desperation at the desk.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where have you hidden the seven million dol- lars? ” repeated Long Sin.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where is he? ” repeated Craig.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where is the armor? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where is the young lady who was here? ” I asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where shall I have them put these things, Miss Elaine? ” he inquired.
osu.32435017825928	“ Where — the deuce — are you? ” I demanded.
osu.32435017825928	“ Which way did the big car go? ” repeated Ken- nedy.
osu.32435017825928	“ Which way — which way? ” he muttered to him- self.
osu.32435017825928	“ Who is it, Jennings? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ Who is this? ” she asked, as Michael led the bogus telephone inspector into the room.
osu.32435017825928	“ Who the devil — why did n't you tell me a re- porter was here, Jennings? ” he sputtered indignantly, pointing toward the door.
osu.32435017825928	“ Who was that man who left you — last — the Clutching Hand? ” s Not a word came from the crook.
osu.32435017825928	“ Why THE DEVIL WORSHIPPERS 277 should our great Ksing Chau desire a white devil?
osu.32435017825928	“ Why — what is the matter? ” asked Craig, anxi- ously.
osu.32435017825928	“ Why — what's the matter? ” he asked, solici- tously.
osu.32435017825928	“ Why, Dad, ” she cried, “ where have you been?
osu.32435017825928	“ Why, Miss Elaine — what ees ze mattair?
osu.32435017825928	“ Will you give me your name? ” “ Why, I am Mrs. Florence Leigh of number 20 Prospect Avenue, ” returned the voice.
osu.32435017825928	“ Will you take care of him? ” I bound up the wounded leg and gave the poor beast a drink of water.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wo n't you come in? ” They had scarcely greeted each other, when Long Sin strolled along.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wo n't you sit down a moment? ” coaxed Gertie.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wo n't you step in? ” he asked suavely.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wo n't you step in? ” she asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ Wo n’t you join us, Mr. Bennett? ” asked Elaine.
osu.32435017825928	“ Would you like to follow our technique, Doctor? ” I asked, turning to Dr. Reinstorm.
osu.32435017825928	“ Would you like to see it? ” she wheedled of Aunt Josephine.
osu.32435017825928	“ Would you mind — er — standing down the hall just a bit while I enter? ” asked Craig.
osu.32435017825928	“ Y- yes, ” I replied dubiously, “ but what does it all mean? ” “ Why, do n’t you see?
osu.32435017825928	“ Y- yes, ” I replied dubiously, “ but what does it all mean? ” “ Why, do n’t you see?
osu.32435017825928	“ Yes, ” he assented, “ I certainly did so. ” “ Have you the record? ” asked Elaine, fighting to the last.
osu.32435017825928	“ You saw that limousine standing there? ” asked Craig.
osu.32435017825928	“ You see what will happen at the hour of three? ” he asked.
osu.32435017825928	“ You – kill him — with knife? ” insinuated the Chinese.
osu.32435017825928	“ You — you are very careful since that last warn- ing? ” asked Elaine as we approached our door.
osu.32435017825928	“ You — you will not let that letter intimidate you? ” she pleaded, laying her soft white hand on his arm.
osu.32435002229862	26 THE MYSTERY IN THE RITSMORE “ And then?"
osu.32435002229862	A GHOST AT THE FEAST 175 “ What makes you say that? ” asked Mr. Hardy, plainly surprised.
osu.32435002229862	A chambermaid?
osu.32435002229862	A new idea came to him and he made his way WHOM DID HE MEAN?
osu.32435002229862	A police detective answered his knock at the doon “ What do you want? ” he asked suspiciously.
osu.32435002229862	After all, what were Ruthina Dushane ’s letters to him?
osu.32435002229862	Always in the stormy crises he had weathered, his foes and challengers had been strong men, ruthless money machines like him-?
osu.32435002229862	And he, John Rush, a mere private secretary, what had he to Offer a woman, in comparison with the largesse Harrison Hardy could bestow on her?
osu.32435002229862	And one more question kept forcing itself upon him insistently,—Why was she so positive that neither of the Le Barons was guilty?
osu.32435002229862	And where was Anne now?
osu.32435002229862	Anne had cried out that it was “ the oath of death. ” What had she meant by that?
osu.32435002229862	Are n’t you positive he had something to do with that girl ’s murder?
osu.32435002229862	Are these really Ruthina Dushane ’s letters?
osu.32435002229862	At seven I ’m dining again with Mr. Hardy. ” “ Again?
osu.32435002229862	Betty, dear, where are you?
osu.32435002229862	But how, he wondered, did she hope to escape with the letters even if she should succeed in getting them into her hands?
osu.32435002229862	But if neither of the Le Barons had killed this woman, who had?
osu.32435002229862	But if she had not killed herself, who had killed her?
osu.32435002229862	But what was there that he could do about it?
osu.32435002229862	But who could have killed Mr. Hardy?
osu.32435002229862	But, Anne, I wanted to ask you, what did you mean by calling that ceremony that Meyer went through the oath of death?
osu.32435002229862	But, say, did you notice the flower bed?
osu.32435002229862	But, tell me, who shadowed you?
osu.32435002229862	Can you dis- prove it?
osu.32435002229862	Can you get hold Of her? ” “ She lives right here in the hotel. ” “ Good!
osu.32435002229862	Could it be possible, Rush wondered, that Le Baron was involved with the woman?
osu.32435002229862	Could you hear me then?
osu.32435002229862	Did 188 THE MYSTERY IN THE RITSMORE you notice that she got hysterical the minute Smith appeared?
osu.32435002229862	Did Anne hear him and had she understood?
osu.32435002229862	Did she know now that he loved her?
osu.32435002229862	Did she know who the murderer was?
osu.32435002229862	Did your wonder- woman get the letters back — the Dushane girl ’s letters? ” “ Of course she did, ” the secretary answered proudly.
osu.32435002229862	Do I understand you to say that when you came upstairs the second time you found the door unlocked?
osu.32435002229862	Do you know where he keeps them?
osu.32435002229862	Do you love me?
osu.32435002229862	Do you think it was she after all who killed Olga Ordinoff?
osu.32435002229862	First, just how did you come to be involved in it?
osu.32435002229862	First, just who is Cas- par Dietz?
osu.32435002229862	Good night. ” For a moment after her door closed he stood WHOM DID HE MEAN ‘?
osu.32435002229862	Had she also, he wondered, a theory to account for the vanishing of the money?
osu.32435002229862	Had she heard and comprehended the words of love that he had dared to utter as they lay, bound and gagged, facing death together?
osu.32435002229862	Had she hid herself there and deliberately plunged the knife into her own heart?
osu.32435002229862	Had she reached home in safety?
osu.32435002229862	Had she suc- ceeded in making her escape?
osu.32435002229862	Had somebody killed her and secreted her body in the clothespress?
osu.32435002229862	Has he let slip anything more about the missing money?
osu.32435002229862	Have you succeeded in learning anything more about him?
osu.32435002229862	He always makes appoint- ments to meet him through me. ” “ What about the head waiter?

osu.32435002229862	I just walked in and came up. ” “ But why did you come? ” he protested.

osu.32435002229862	“ Do you remember how they read?
osu.32435002229862	“ Does Mr. Hardy understand that this case is on the usual terms?
osu.32435002229862	“ Does she know I knew the Ordinoff girl?
osu.32435002229862	“ Does she live alone?
osu.32435002229862	“ Even if you have photographic copies of those letters, what good will they do?
osu.32435002229862	“ Had you written them letters?
osu.32435002229862	“ Have you ever read any books on the brain? ” she asked.

osu.32435002229862	“ How on earth did you come here?
osu.32435002229862	“ How on earth did you manage to keep them? ” he cried excitedly.

osu.32435002229862	“ I went alone. ” “ Where?
osu.32435002229862	“ If there is nothing further you want to ask me, Inspector, ” he said, “ may I be excused?

osu.32435002229862	“ Mr. Robert Le Baron? ” he had asked.
osu.32435002229862	“ Now, Miss Blair, ” he said courteously, “ will you tell us what you know about the case?
osu.32435002229862	“ Oh, John, John, ” she cried, shaking her shapely head, “ have n’t I told you you must learn to observe more closely?

osu.32435002229862	“ She just reasoned it out, I guess. ” “ But Smith proved that it was the waiter who murdered the girl?"
osu.32435002229862	“ Sir, do n’t you realize that times have changed, that the modern up- to- date young woman is perfectly capable of looking out for herself?
osu.32435002229862	“ Suppose they find out about that. ” “ What note? ” said Smith sharply.
osu.32435002229862	“ Tell me, Mr. Rush, ” Miss Blair asked, sud- denly rousing herself from her profound study, “ how much do you know about Ruthina Du- shane?
osu.32435002229862	“ Tell me, did anything new happen to- day, about the case?

osu.32435002229862	“ Unless what? ” persisted Miss Blair.
osu.32435002229862	“ Very well, indeed. ” “ He is or was Mr. Hardy ’s private secretary, was he not? ” “ Yes. ” “ Did Mr.
osu.32435002229862	“ Was it some one you knew?
osu.32435002229862	“ We have not met before, have we? ” Merrily she shook her head.
osu.32435002229862	“ We must. ” “ But how?
osu.32435002229862	“ Well, Miss Blair, ” he said quietly, “ are you going to tell me what you know about the Or- dinoflf matter?

osu.32435010904811	Would you like to read the two wills, or shall I first explain the circumstances?
osu.32435010904811	Would you mind doing so, and can you find another respectable person to act as the second witness?
osu.32435010904811	You clearly understand that?

osu.32435010904811	You follow the process?
osu.32435010904811	You mean that the frame- maker hung the thing upside down and Jeffrey never noticed the mistake?

osu.32435010904811	“ And now what are we to give you for your trouble in coming here?"
osu.32435010904811	“ And what can I do for you gentlemen? ” he asked, with an affable smile.
osu.32435010904811	“ And what is the alternative?
osu.32435010904811	“ And who gave him that poisonous dose?
osu.32435010904811	“ And you apparently think that he is a criminal?

osu.32435010904811	“ I must apologize for keep- ing you waiting. ” I acknowledged the apology somewhat stiflly and asked: “ You are Mr. Weiss, I presume?
osu.32435010904811	“ I suppose you consider him quite out of danger now?
osu.32435010904811	“ I suppose, ” said Mr Weiss, “ you have experience of sleeping sickness?"
osu.32435010904811	“ I take it, ” said Marchmont, “ that you have some new facts that are not in our possession?
osu.32435010904811	“ I think, ” said he, “ you started from Lower Kennington Lane?

osu.32435010904811	“ There is no question turning on signatures in the case of Blackmore deceased, is there?
osu.32435010904811	“ There is no suspicious looking person in sight at present, ” Thomdyke said, and then asked: “ Which way do you think of going?
osu.32435010904811	“ Was Mr. Jeffrey ’s eyesight failing?
osu.32435010904811	“ We shall expect you then, ” I said, “ about eight to- night, and you will try to bring Mr. Stephen with you?

osu.32435010904811	“ Where did you find it?
osu.32435010904811	“ Who could this woman have been, and what could she have been doing in Jeffrey ’s chambers at this time?

osu.32435010904811	“ Why not?
osu.32435010904811	“ Will this do, sir? ” he asked.
osu.32435010904811	“ You have not forgotten those beads that we found in Jeffrey ’s bedroom, have you?
osu.32435010904811	“ You understand, ” I said in a low voice, “ that the danger is not over?

osu.32435000161588	And why did he have his revolver so conveniently ready?
osu.32435000161588	And you and Miss Brad- ford ’s pretty close to being the center of it. ” “ What can we do about it?"
osu.32435000161588	At the door of the Lutan apartment stood Mr. Nelson. ” “ What was he doing there? ” “ Just standing there.

osu.32435000161588	Could it be one of the servants, or possibly Claire Brad- ford?
osu.32435000161588	Could it be possible that the crafty, miserly old chap was the master- mind at the bottom of all the mystery and plotting?
osu.32435000161588	Could it be that one of the employees was THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS 89 in league with the plotters?
osu.32435000161588	Could it, I wondered, be Barbara?
osu.32435000161588	Could she have done it?

osu.32435000161588	Did he believe that I was guilty of the murder of Daisy Lutan?
osu.32435000161588	Did it not seem more likely that the arch plotter was Claire Bradford ’s ex- husband?
osu.32435000161588	Did my great- uncle and his wife know her?
osu.32435000161588	Did you see the detective?

osu.32435000161588	How could I tell them I knew Barbara Bradford, when she had just cut me dead?
osu.32435000161588	How could her excitement and perturbation be ac- counted for except by the fact that she knew of their loss?
osu.32435000161588	How could she possibly know that they were missing?
osu.32435000161588	How did he know that?
osu.32435000161588	How do you know his name? ” “ Never mind how I know it, ” I replied.
osu.32435000161588	How else could she know of all my meetings- with Barbara unless she was in league with the persons who had been having me shadowed?
osu.32435000161588	How else could the repetition of his actions be ex- plained?
osu.32435000161588	How else could they know? ” Her distress was so real and her manner so convincing that I decided that she must be tell- ing the truth.

osu.32435000161588	How were the mysterious sounds heard both by my great — uncle, by Barbara Bradford, and by myself to be accounted for?
osu.32435000161588	I decided to creep along the ledge and see if I could trace them. ” “ And did you succeed?"
osu.32435000161588	I do n’t know much about him. ” “ And that ’s all you know about it? ” said the detective, turning to me again.
osu.32435000161588	I do n’t know what stuff she had here. ” 176 THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS “ Who would know?
osu.32435000161588	I found the safe locked as it always was. ” “ When did you first discover the papers were missing?
osu.32435000161588	I had not been aware that I had an enemy in the world, yet who but an enemy could have written a letter that would have such dire effect?
osu.32435000161588	I may know more than you suspect. ” “ About what?
osu.32435000161588	I never saw the revolver. ” “ You can not deny that you were in my apart- ment last night? ” “ But the revolver, ” she protested.
osu.32435000161588	I suppose he had been roaming around so much he had gotten careless. ” “ How about the revolver? ” asked Gorman.
osu.32435000161588	I thought the Gastons were away. ” “ But why did you come? ” “ I ca n’t tell that, ” she moaned.
osu.32435000161588	I took out my pass- key and we went in. ” “ Where did you find the body?
osu.32435000161588	I wonder how they knew? ” 16 THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS “ Knew what?
osu.32435000161588	I wonder how they knew? ” 16 THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS “ Knew what?
osu.32435000161588	I ’ve found out who it is. ” “ It isn’t — a”—she hesitated as if undesirous of accusing any one unjustly — “ Mr. Wick?
osu.32435000161588	I “ What is it? ” I asked.
osu.32435000161588	If I ’d seen you come in with her, you ’d never have got a table in this place. ” “ What is the matter with her?
osu.32435000161588	If all the bills we owe were paid, we ’d have almost nothing at all. ” “ What did you propose doing when you met the man — or men?
osu.32435000161588	If you find out where he is, will you let me or Mr. Wick know?
osu.32435000161588	In the last few weeks he ’s slept in every room in the house. ” “ What made him do that?
osu.32435000161588	In what way did they figure in Barbara Bradford ’s life?
osu.32435000161588	In what way was she involved?
osu.32435000161588	In which apartment was it?"
osu.32435000161588	Is n’t that enough?
osu.32435000161588	Is that your real name? ” My counsel ’s unexpected question came as a thunderbolt to the opposition.
osu.32435000161588	It ran: “ Why did n’t you tell the police about the pearls?"
osu.32435000161588	It seemed to come from the floor right below me, so I ran down to investi- gate. ” “ Is that right? ” he asked, turning to Mr. Wick.
osu.32435000161588	It simply said, ‘ Liberal reward and no questions asked for return of important papers. ’ ” “ Were there any answers?
osu.32435000161588	It ’s what the white folk hear that counts. ” “ How about the other apartments in the house?
osu.32435000161588	May I go now — before my mother comes home?
osu.32435000161588	Mr. Gaston put me here to find out what was wrong. ” “ There ’s no doubt there ’s wrong here. ” “ What makes you say that?
osu.32435000161588	My jewels are I, there, and in case there should be a fire “ Why not take them with you?
osu.32435000161588	Now what have you got to say to that? ” What could I say?
osu.32435000161588	Now what have you got to say to that? ” What could I say?
osu.32435000161588	Of course it seemed preposterous that a criminal band would find lodging in a luxurious apartment house like this, yet, why not?
osu.32435000161588	Oh, what shall I do?
osu.32435000161588	Please help me protect my little sister ’s name; promise — you will, wo n’t you?

nyp.33433076088933	As, for instance?
nyp.33433076088933	Attested to by her? nyp.33433076088933 Before his house is done?"
nyp.33433076088933	But not her reasons for it?
nyp.33433076088933	But why this long ride, this far- away spot? nyp.33433076088933 But you had been behind the pedestal?"
nyp.33433076088933	But you heard the arrow?
nyp.33433076088933	Can you describe the movement?
nyp.33433076088933	Can you handle the bow easily from where you now stand?
nyp.33433076088933	Can you tear off the back? nyp.33433076088933 Coast clear?"
nyp.33433076088933	Coming out of the door — not going in?
nyp.33433076088933	Corroborative, only corroborative, sir? nyp.33433076088933 Did any of you?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did she say she was going to bring her daugh- ter with her?
nyp.33433076088933	Did she say what accident?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you know she was coming to this country?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you know the young lady?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you notice, as you stepped from the land- ing, whether the boy staring at us from the door- way over there was facing just as we see him now?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you see the person who shot the arrow?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you understand that she was leaving France for good?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you? nyp.33433076088933 Do n't you know?"
nyp.33433076088933	Do not you advise this?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you all agree?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you recognize this portrait of yourself as one taken by Fredericks some dozen years ago?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you wonder that I sought it? nyp.33433076088933 Does he object?"
nyp.33433076088933	Does this mean that she had been made ac- quainted with the fate of the young girl; and if so, by whom?
nyp.33433076088933	Elvira Brown? nyp.33433076088933 Evidence?"
nyp.33433076088933	For a day, for a month or for a year?
nyp.33433076088933	From what direction would it have had to come to strike her as it did?
nyp.33433076088933	Goin'east or goin'west?
nyp.33433076088933	Has she no relative to share your watch or take such things in charge?
nyp.33433076088933	Has she socialistic ideas? nyp.33433076088933 Have we arrived?"
nyp.33433076088933	Heard?
nyp.33433076088933	Her name? nyp.33433076088933 Her name?"
nyp.33433076088933	How can you be sure of that?
nyp.33433076088933	How did you learn that?
nyp.33433076088933	How do you know?
nyp.33433076088933	How should I know? nyp.33433076088933 How?
nyp.33433076088933	I doubt that; I seriously doubt that — don't you, Gryce? nyp.33433076088933 I suppose there is no possibility of your drum- ming up anyone to row us over in time to catch them?"
nyp.33433076088933	In this building?
nyp.33433076088933	Instantly?
nyp.33433076088933	Is it of greater importance than the right which this dead girl's friends have to know by whose care- less hands the arrow killing her was shot?
nyp.33433076088933	Is it possible for an arrow, shot through the loophole made by the curving- in of the vase, to reach the mark set for it by Mr. Travis'testimony? nyp.33433076088933 Is — is she there alone?"
nyp.33433076088933	It is the one witness I have — is it not, Carleton?
nyp.33433076088933	It swayed out"As if blown by some wind?
nyp.33433076088933	It was here she came then, directly from the hotel?
nyp.33433076088933	Killed? nyp.33433076088933 Left?
nyp.33433076088933	Locked?
nyp.33433076088933	Made to- day?
nyp.33433076088933	May I ask one of you to take down that clock?
nyp.33433076088933	No; how should I? nyp.33433076088933 Oh, do you?"
nyp.33433076088933	On what hypothesis?
nyp.33433076088933	On your own initiative? nyp.33433076088933 Pardon me, missus,"he cried,"but is it Miss Brown's you mean?"
nyp.33433076088933	Perry, is the way rough between here and the station — I mean, rough for me?
nyp.33433076088933	See what?
nyp.33433076088933	She was a good woman, then?
nyp.33433076088933	She?
nyp.33433076088933	So you positively do not know any more than this of what she has so religiously held secret?
nyp.33433076088933	Stood open?
nyp.33433076088933	Sweetwater, what is that you once told me about a family named Duclos?
nyp.33433076088933	That's true; but how does it help to call it acci- dent? nyp.33433076088933 That?
nyp.33433076088933	The date of his arrival?
nyp.33433076088933	The escape of X?
nyp.33433076088933	The woman who was sitting here? nyp.33433076088933 Then she is n't lame?
nyp.33433076088933	Then she is still very ill?
nyp.33433076088933	Then you have nothing whatever to add to what the others have told?
nyp.33433076088933	Then you positively deny any active con- nection with the strange death of this young girl?
nyp.33433076088933	Then you think that the bow we saw behind the tapestry is an Indian one?
nyp.33433076088933	Then — then —she stammered, her eyes tak- ing on a hunted look,"you conclude — these people conclude what?"
nyp.33433076088933	There was no harm in that, was there? nyp.33433076088933 This is to be a secret investigation, then?"
nyp.33433076088933	This the second:'Was it the same that carried the arrow from one gallery to another?'"
nyp.33433076088933	This was before the attendant Correy called out his alarm, of course?
nyp.33433076088933	This? nyp.33433076088933 To- night?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was it the same which carried the arrow from one gallery to the other? nyp.33433076088933 Was she American or — or foreign?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was that done for me?
nyp.33433076088933	Was the woman you wanted a staid, elderly per- son, apparently a foreigner?
nyp.33433076088933	Was this letter mailed from Paris or London?
nyp.33433076088933	We were — were talk- ing together here — we did n't notice"Just married, eh?
nyp.33433076088933	Well? nyp.33433076088933 What color was it?
nyp.33433076088933	What did you have 42 THE MYSTERY OF in mind? nyp.33433076088933 What do you mean by that?"
nyp.33433076088933	What does that mean?
nyp.33433076088933	What has that got to do with it?
nyp.33433076088933	What is its purpose?
nyp.33433076088933	What is that?
nyp.33433076088933	What kind of death?
nyp.33433076088933	What more did you learn there?
nyp.33433076088933	What of Uncle?
nyp.33433076088933	What ship?
nyp.33433076088933	What sort of an opinion can a man form of a fellow like that? nyp.33433076088933 What was her name?"
nyp.33433076088933	What was its color?
nyp.33433076088933	What were you looking at?
nyp.33433076088933	What's that you say? nyp.33433076088933 When can I get over?"
nyp.33433076088933	Where are the others?
nyp.33433076088933	Where is he now?
nyp.33433076088933	Where is she now?
nyp.33433076088933	Where is the connecting link? nyp.33433076088933 Where was he standing?"
nyp.33433076088933	Where was the Curator when you forced open that door behind the tapestry? nyp.33433076088933 Which one of the men or women known to be in the museum when this arrow was released has enough knowledge of archery to string a bow?
nyp.33433076088933	Who are you?
nyp.33433076088933	Who wore gloves that day — kid gloves, mind you, for the mark of the stitching is exact, as you can see in this print of the same made by Stevens? nyp.33433076088933 Why Belport?"
nyp.33433076088933	Why did he run the forefinger of his right hand so continuously into his right- hand vest pocket?
nyp.33433076088933	Why did his finger go so continuously to his vest pocket? nyp.33433076088933 Why did n't you say so?
nyp.33433076088933	Why do you speak like that? nyp.33433076088933 Why is that here?"
nyp.33433076088933	Why should I?
nyp.33433076088933	Why so thoughtful, Ermentrude? nyp.33433076088933 Why, madam?
nyp.33433076088933	Why? nyp.33433076088933 Wife or widow?"
nyp.33433076088933	Will you be obliging enough to see that I'm given an opportunity for a few words with this Phil Jenkins on his return?
nyp.33433076088933	Will you give me your name?
nyp.33433076088933	Will you give me your reasons for such an assertion? nyp.33433076088933 Will you lead the way?"
nyp.33433076088933	With her torn dress and her little bag?
nyp.33433076088933	With this Englishman involved?
nyp.33433076088933	Wo n't you be a little more definite?
nyp.33433076088933	Yes, what is he doing?
nyp.33433076088933	You are sure of that?
nyp.33433076088933	You have not failed me in this?
nyp.33433076088933	You know the bow, then? nyp.33433076088933 You mean marriage?"
nyp.33433076088933	You mean that by this thoughtless action she has left a clue in our hands?
nyp.33433076088933	You will go back to France?
nyp.33433076088933	You will write?
nyp.33433076088933	Your hotel, then?
nyp.33433076088933	Your name as carpenter?
nyp.33433076088933	'Was the transference of the arrow from one gallery to the other due to the same person who brought up the bow?'
nyp.33433076088933	'Way up in the Catskills, is n't it?"
nyp.33433076088933	****** Would she have had it otherwise?
nyp.33433076088933	/24 THE MYSTERY OF"Did you see anyone there?"
nyp.33433076088933	176 THE MYSTERY OF At whose instance, Sweetwater, his or hers?
nyp.33433076088933	23o THE MYSTERY OF"Did you ask her how she came to know that Angeline was dead, before the news was circulated outside the museum?"
nyp.33433076088933	254 THE MYSTERY OF"Had her speech an accent?
nyp.33433076088933	360 THE MYSTERY OF Were the words coming — the words which might at a stroke pull down the whole fabric of his life, past, present and to come?
nyp.33433076088933	90 THE HASTY ARROW"What is he doing?"
nyp.33433076088933	98 THE MYSTERY OF"You did?
nyp.33433076088933	A highly decorative arrangement, it is true, but in what lay its interest for the criminal investigator?
nyp.33433076088933	A moan?
nyp.33433076088933	A nearer glimpse of the tapestry over there and the two great vases?"
nyp.33433076088933	A weakling's paradise or the goal of the strong man?
nyp.33433076088933	About how old do you think this picture is?"
nyp.33433076088933	Alone, or together?
nyp.33433076088933	Am I a madman, or a destroyer of youth?
nyp.33433076088933	And by this time, having reached the man he sought, he put his question:"Can you tell me anything about the woman who was sitting here?
nyp.33433076088933	And had he not understood her choice, bizarre as it was, and for this very reason, that it was bizarre?
nyp.33433076088933	And have you noticed that he's a bit deaf, which is the reason, per- haps, why he was not sooner on the scene?"
nyp.33433076088933	And he?
nyp.33433076088933	And how many have you here, all told?"
nyp.33433076088933	And if they did why did they not speak?
nyp.33433076088933	And now, what about the persons who were here?
nyp.33433076088933	And she?
nyp.33433076088933	And this man?"
nyp.33433076088933	And was this the end?
nyp.33433076088933	And what did you say?"
nyp.33433076088933	And what then?"
nyp.33433076088933	And what took the older woman away?
nyp.33433076088933	And which word of all that were to come would break it?
nyp.33433076088933	And you, Ermen- trude?"
nyp.33433076088933	And you?"
nyp.33433076088933	And""Yes, Gryce?"
nyp.33433076088933	Another?
nyp.33433076088933	Any communications made by her before she collapsed?
nyp.33433076088933	Any other explanation to give which will account for every fact as this does?"
nyp.33433076088933	Anyone else at this end?"
nyp.33433076088933	Anyone in the rooms opposite?"
nyp.33433076088933	Anything in which we can help you?
nyp.33433076088933	Anything more?"
nyp.33433076088933	Anything which you saw or heard at the hotel?"
nyp.33433076088933	Are these all?
nyp.33433076088933	As some one brought a chair, she spoke, but very tremulously, to the director:"Are there no arrows in the rooms over there?"
nyp.33433076088933	At last the Inspector spoke:"You have been on the hunt; what did you find?"
nyp.33433076088933	At which I simply remarked:'You think so, Correy?'
nyp.33433076088933	Been through the work- rooms?"
nyp.33433076088933	But a bit lonesome for a city chap?
nyp.33433076088933	But first, of whom is this small and mystic group composed?
nyp.33433076088933	But he can not escape now; you'll get him, wo n't you, Inspector?
nyp.33433076088933	But how about the woman who was troubling you with demands you had no wish to grant?
nyp.33433076088933	But how about your following the young girl here?
nyp.33433076088933	But perhaps he has some married or at school?"
nyp.33433076088933	But since?
nyp.33433076088933	But this other?
nyp.33433076088933	But wait — can we see that sec- tion from here?"
nyp.33433076088933	But was it?
nyp.33433076088933	But what am I to think of Elvira?
nyp.33433076088933	But what proof could he hope to obtain under the circumstances in which he found himself placed?
nyp.33433076088933	But where was the bow?
nyp.33433076088933	But why had not Ermentrude smiled?
nyp.33433076088933	But why should you?
nyp.33433076088933	But would she lie for anyone?
nyp.33433076088933	But would the same hold true if instead of being in front he had been behind the pedestal, as Mr. La Fleche is now?
nyp.33433076088933	Can her hatred be for some of our plutocrats or supposed oppressors of the people?"
nyp.33433076088933	Can not we forget my unworthy vapor- ings and enter upon the consideration of what may prove more profitable?"
nyp.33433076088933	Can you name him?
nyp.33433076088933	Can you wait, can I wait a year?"
nyp.33433076088933	Could she have been given a locker on this her first night?
nyp.33433076088933	Dare he disturb that thought?
nyp.33433076088933	Did Carleton Roberts see any connection between these two events?
nyp.33433076088933	Did Ermentrude accept her doom without a struggle?
nyp.33433076088933	Did I not see him glance back twice, and both times at her?
nyp.33433076088933	Did he come less frequently?
nyp.33433076088933	Did he ever say from what part of Switzerland?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did he know — had he felt whose step was in the hall, whose form was at the door?
nyp.33433076088933	Did he see in this obvious fact a prophecy of what lay before the man upon whose privacy they were on the point of intruding?
nyp.33433076088933	Did he stay less long?
nyp.33433076088933	Did n't you give them?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did n't you hear that?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did she remind you of anyone we know?
nyp.33433076088933	Did she see a change in him?
nyp.33433076088933	Did she send out or receive messages of any kind since her return from the museum?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did she sew or write for a living?
nyp.33433076088933	Did she yield because of her own great longing?
nyp.33433076088933	Did you handle any of them in passing?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you hear?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you see anyone over there,—in the gallery, I mean,—at or before the instant of this young girl's fall?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you see it thrown there?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you speak?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you take her for a foreign woman?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you think I could go on living without you?"
nyp.33433076088933	Did you think I saw anything?"
nyp.33433076088933	Do n't you see it, sir?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you feel the same?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you know her name?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you not think it better for the truth to be known in such a case?"
nyp.33433076088933	Do you remember any such per- son?"
nyp.33433076088933	Do you remember her?"
nyp.33433076088933	Do you suppose it was her petticoat?"
nyp.33433076088933	Do you think you could do that for me, or shall I have to see to expressing it myself?
nyp.33433076088933	Do you, sir?"
nyp.33433076088933	Does she want it back?"
nyp.33433076088933	Does this fellow Holmes know you for a police- detective?"
nyp.33433076088933	Duclos?"
nyp.33433076088933	Engaged, eh, and now all of a sudden free again?
nyp.33433076088933	Finally the Curator paused, and stealing another look at that white head, remarked anxiously:"Have you not grown gray very suddenly?
nyp.33433076088933	Gone out, you mean?"
nyp.33433076088933	Had Madame Duclos heard of her daughter's death when she first presented herself to you?"
nyp.33433076088933	Had he grown indifferent or was he simply perplexed?
nyp.33433076088933	Had he not been shown the piece of goods from which it had been taken?
nyp.33433076088933	Had her fears read him aright?
nyp.33433076088933	Had it been his own hand which had directed this arrow from behind the pedestal?
nyp.33433076088933	Had it had a like effect on her?
nyp.33433076088933	Had it made him insane already?
nyp.33433076088933	Had its weight been great enough to push the bow back again into its former place close against the door?
nyp.33433076088933	Had remorse given it its poignancy?
nyp.33433076088933	Had she heard?
nyp.33433076088933	Had she seen them?
nyp.33433076088933	Had the machinery stopped?
nyp.33433076088933	Had this been observed by anyone besides himself?
nyp.33433076088933	Had this brought him any relief?
nyp.33433076088933	Had you, Mr. Travis?
nyp.33433076088933	Has anything happened to her?"
nyp.33433076088933	Have n't you a bit left to show me?
nyp.33433076088933	Have n't you hurried matters to get him so far in such a short space of time?"
nyp.33433076088933	Have you an equally ingenious explanation for that too?"
nyp.33433076088933	Have you any fur- ther questions to ask or shall I leave you to your deliberations?"
nyp.33433076088933	Have you anything to say against this conclusion?
nyp.33433076088933	He could look and weigh the question: Love or a quick success?
nyp.33433076088933	He looks a trifle hipped, eh?"
nyp.33433076088933	Here is the first:"'Whose hand carried the bow from cellar to gallery?"'
nyp.33433076088933	How about him?"
nyp.33433076088933	How about his own peace of mind?
nyp.33433076088933	How can an arrow be shot without a bow?"
nyp.33433076088933	How can we hope to establish it?
nyp.33433076088933	How could she sleep, with the promise of the morrow before her?
nyp.33433076088933	How could you?
nyp.33433076088933	How did it happen that a young girl, six hours after landing in this country, should come to a place like this without a chap- eron?"
nyp.33433076088933	How did that come about?"
nyp.33433076088933	How do I know this?
nyp.33433076088933	How do I know this?
nyp.33433076088933	How do I know this?
nyp.33433076088933	How do you explain that?"
nyp.33433076088933	How is it that we did not get yours?"
nyp.33433076088933	How long could such superhuman composure endure?
nyp.33433076088933	How long had they had it?
nyp.33433076088933	How many of them have you let go?"
nyp.33433076088933	How would we characterize his anticipations, 346 THE MYSTERY OF or measure in our own mind the possibilities of the future as felt by him?
nyp.33433076088933	How — how did you know?"
nyp.33433076088933	How?
nyp.33433076088933	How?
nyp.33433076088933	I can conceive such an end to her long patience, ca n't you, gentlemen?
nyp.33433076088933	I had just stepped out""From behind the tapestry?"
nyp.33433076088933	I had seen her receive a note""A note?
nyp.33433076088933	I hope you are alone in these conclusions — that you have not seen fit to share your ideas on this subject with any of the boys?"
nyp.33433076088933	I should say that they had been tossed about by a careless if not hasty hand, while the trunk""Well?"
nyp.33433076088933	I""But how did she get out?
nyp.33433076088933	I'm expecting her here any min- ute, but — Well, what now?
nyp.33433076088933	If he hurried by, what would become of their now secretly accepted theory?
nyp.33433076088933	If not, what did she do with herself all day?
nyp.33433076088933	If not, why this ghastly display of an emotion so far beyond what might be expected from the most sen- timental of onlookers?
nyp.33433076088933	If only he might help her handle the heavy coats which lay so temptingly on top I Should he propose to do so?
nyp.33433076088933	If that was so, how came this bow to be where you have just seen it?"
nyp.33433076088933	In other words, do you believe her husband to be living or not living at the present time?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is Mr. Travis to be detained?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is he fool or knave?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is it an accident?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is it at some image of herself they see restored to hope and joy?
nyp.33433076088933	Is our marriage to be as secret as our engagement?
nyp.33433076088933	Is that all you wish to know?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is that not enough?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is that what you wish, Carleton?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is the District Attorney pre- pared to make the next move?
nyp.33433076088933	Is there anything in her early history or in what you know of her later life, here and abroad, to enlighten you as to his identity?"
nyp.33433076088933	Is this your first visit to the museum?"
nyp.33433076088933	It is only — would you mind stepping aside for a moment till I tell you a bit of gossip which has just come to my ears?
nyp.33433076088933	It stood on a table""Well?"
nyp.33433076088933	It was hardly a fa- vorable moment for further questioning, but the Curator in his anxiety could not refrain from saying:"Who is she?
nyp.33433076088933	Lucie paused, and gazing in vague trouble after her rapidly disappearing visitor, murmured to her- self,"Who is she?"
nyp.33433076088933	May I ask what you propose to do now?
nyp.33433076088933	May I ask where you were when that 76 THE MYSTERY OF arrow flew which killed a young lady visitor?
nyp.33433076088933	May I ask you to read them?"
nyp.33433076088933	Might it not, in some strange and unaccountable way, have been flung there previous to the present event and by some hand no longer in the building?
nyp.33433076088933	Might she not be put on that?
nyp.33433076088933	My life is yours as I once promised, and do you think I would hold back the child?"
nyp.33433076088933	Need I say more?
nyp.33433076088933	No one to stop him?
nyp.33433076088933	No report in yet from the terminals?"
nyp.33433076088933	Not in this part of the court, I take it?"
nyp.33433076088933	Not knowing the danger, how could I avert it?
nyp.33433076088933	Now I must go; but first, what was her offense?
nyp.33433076088933	Now where were these two — this man and this woman — at the time just designated?
nyp.33433076088933	Now with the gray""Are you speaking of the blue one?"
nyp.33433076088933	Now, what do you propose to do next?"
nyp.33433076088933	One of a low- down type?"
nyp.33433076088933	One of your own men?"
nyp.33433076088933	Or had it been made by the man detailed to steal the name from the package — or by the woman in the shop, or by all these combined?
nyp.33433076088933	Perhaps she was n't hungry, and perhaps she did n't wish to register, eh?"
nyp.33433076088933	Ravings?
nyp.33433076088933	Romantic situation, eh?
nyp.33433076088933	Saw it nearer than you said — possibly handled it?"
nyp.33433076088933	Seeing it, Mr. Gryce felt a movement of com- passion, and thinking to help him, said kindly enough:"Was it so very dreadful?"
nyp.33433076088933	Shall I be frank in stating the precise reasons which seem to justify our present presumption?"
nyp.33433076088933	Shall I help you down?"
nyp.33433076088933	Shall I set the boys to work, Inspector?
nyp.33433076088933	Shall I tele- phone?"
nyp.33433076088933	Shall we let all go and meet our fate as people should who stand on a desolate shore and see the whole world roll away from before them?"
nyp.33433076088933	She looked anxiously in his face to see and finally she asked:"How much of this are we to tell, Carleton?"
nyp.33433076088933	She ran by the older lady, and then?"
nyp.33433076088933	She was a foreigner, was she not?"
nyp.33433076088933	She would have to move on; but where?
nyp.33433076088933	She's not young, you know?"
nyp.33433076088933	Should he tell her?
nyp.33433076088933	Should she reassert her rights and de- mand that the father should recognize his child?
nyp.33433076088933	Should they attempt to sound this new mystery of mutual understanding to which as yet they had re- ceived no clue?
nyp.33433076088933	So Correy made absolutely no attempt to explain how this weapon had been carried from cellar to gallery with- out his knowledge?"
nyp.33433076088933	Surely, I am quite justified in asking whether indeed you have not handled it both before and after the lamentable occurrence we are discussing?"
nyp.33433076088933	THE HASTY ARROW 105"Did you know it was there?
nyp.33433076088933	THE HASTY ARROW 129"What do you say, Coroner Price?"
nyp.33433076088933	THE HASTY ARROW 143"With every reporter headed off, and anyone likely to report to a reporter headed off also?"
nyp.33433076088933	THE HASTY ARROW 61 Gryce said was this:"You are interested I see in this show of old armor?
nyp.33433076088933	Taylor?"
nyp.33433076088933	That is open to dispute; but if he had done so, why did he not inform us of the fact when he showed us the key?
nyp.33433076088933	That the name on the package?"
nyp.33433076088933	That this was so, was shown by her next question:"But where is the bow?
nyp.33433076088933	The Englishman nodded; whereupon Mr. Gryce, approaching to his side, exclaimed in evident doubt:"You were standing here?
nyp.33433076088933	The girls'mother, was she not?
nyp.33433076088933	The one is freed from all her troubles; the other Do you think we ought to have a doctor to look after her?
nyp.33433076088933	The one woman kneeling over the other with her hand on the arrow?"
nyp.33433076088933	The others have gone without question to their places; why should not you?"
nyp.33433076088933	The question is — who?"
nyp.33433076088933	Theft, eh?"
nyp.33433076088933	Then sud- denly:"Where's your aunt?"
nyp.33433076088933	Then with a side glance at Mr. Gryce, he added:"Shall I slip in behind and get it?"
nyp.33433076088933	They heard — what did they hear?
nyp.33433076088933	This end and cor- ner of what must have been my picture too, where was it found?"
nyp.33433076088933	To remorse or to an exaggerated personal repulsion?
nyp.33433076088933	To what could this excess of sensibility be attributed?
nyp.33433076088933	To whom should they ap- peal?
nyp.33433076088933	Travis?"
nyp.33433076088933	Travis?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was he anywhere in the building?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was he trailing this poor unfortunate from pillar to post, for the reward it would bring him?
nyp.33433076088933	Was her name like that of her daughter, Willetts?
nyp.33433076088933	Was it because he knew that only a person actively con- nected with the museum would have access to that part of the cellar?
nyp.33433076088933	Was it because of the importance of what he had to communicate?
nyp.33433076088933	Was it triumphant enough to lead him to acknowledge their marriage?
nyp.33433076088933	Was it?
nyp.33433076088933	Was it?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was she a friend of yours?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was she the woman he had pictured in his mind's eye?
nyp.33433076088933	Was the look this called up one of fear or of simple repugnance?
nyp.33433076088933	Was the name Duclos a false one?
nyp.33433076088933	Was there no one in the right- hand gallery to see what went on in the left?"
nyp.33433076088933	Was there no one to see?
nyp.33433076088933	Was there un- easiness in his eye — coolness — languor?
nyp.33433076088933	Was this meant to startle the director, and did it succeed in doing so?
nyp.33433076088933	Was this why his remark took the form of a question?
nyp.33433076088933	We're so fond of one another, and how could we know that anyone was dying so near?"
nyp.33433076088933	Well, Correy, what is it?"
nyp.33433076088933	Well, and what of it?
nyp.33433076088933	Were you able to effect an understanding with her nurse?"
nyp.33433076088933	Were you interested in the Indian relics you had come among?
nyp.33433076088933	What awful mistake had he made?
nyp.33433076088933	What can I say to them?
nyp.33433076088933	What can anybody say?
nyp.33433076088933	What could have happened?
nyp.33433076088933	What did that note contain, and who could have 268 THE MYSTERY OF taken advantage of the arrival of some late- comer to slip it into her hand?
nyp.33433076088933	What did the man say?"
nyp.33433076088933	What did this mean?
nyp.33433076088933	What do you mean by that?"
nyp.33433076088933	What do you want to know?"
nyp.33433076088933	What else is there to think?
nyp.33433076088933	What excuse did she give, and where has she gone?"
nyp.33433076088933	What had he to say?
nyp.33433076088933	What is her name and what is yours?"
nyp.33433076088933	What is it?
nyp.33433076088933	What is this something?
nyp.33433076088933	What makes you say Ma- dame Duclos knew me?"
nyp.33433076088933	What more was needed to stamp her as a mad woman in the eyes of the ordinary observer?
nyp.33433076088933	What reason had you for any such feeling in regard to a person with whom you had held no conversation?
nyp.33433076088933	What remains for us to do under circumstances like these?
nyp.33433076088933	What should she do?
nyp.33433076088933	What was I to do?
nyp.33433076088933	What was it then?
nyp.33433076088933	What was that?
nyp.33433076088933	What was this point?
nyp.33433076088933	What's the use of having ears if you do n't use them?
nyp.33433076088933	What's there strange about that?"
nyp.33433076088933	What's up?"
nyp.33433076088933	What?
nyp.33433076088933	What?"
nyp.33433076088933	When did politics ever make a man happy?"
nyp.33433076088933	When this young lady fell so unexpectedly at your feet, was your first look at her or at the opposite gal- lery?"
nyp.33433076088933	When?
nyp.33433076088933	Where could this un- protected girl be going, alone and in a hotel cab?
nyp.33433076088933	Where did it come from?
nyp.33433076088933	Where shall we go to have it out?"
nyp.33433076088933	Where was the Cu- rator?"
nyp.33433076088933	Where were you kneeling?"
nyp.33433076088933	Where were you, and why were n't you seen by my man when he went through the building?"
nyp.33433076088933	Who can tell?
nyp.33433076088933	Who could she have been?"
nyp.33433076088933	Who else was there to do it?
nyp.33433076088933	Who gave it to her?"
nyp.33433076088933	Who has not felt his imagination stirred by the contrasts thus offered — contrasts never more appar- ent than at these hours of supposed rest?
nyp.33433076088933	Who she is and where she has gone?"
nyp.33433076088933	Who was this third man, and where had he come from?
nyp.33433076088933	Who would not?
nyp.33433076088933	Whom was she with?"
nyp.33433076088933	Why could n't a minister be found in Lucerne?
nyp.33433076088933	Why did I not crush it to atoms long ago?
nyp.33433076088933	Why did it quiver?
nyp.33433076088933	Why did n't you say so at once?
nyp.33433076088933	Why did she start as it thus took on shape before her?
nyp.33433076088933	Why do you say killed?
nyp.33433076088933	Why should he give her a moment's thought?
nyp.33433076088933	Why should the Coroner of Greene County want to see me?"
nyp.33433076088933	Why should the sight of all this rouse emotions she believed eliminated by a treachery most cruel in face of promises most sacred?
nyp.33433076088933	Why was that one coat lacking?
nyp.33433076088933	Why?
nyp.33433076088933	Why?
nyp.33433076088933	Will you have to walk far?"
nyp.33433076088933	Will you let me go?"
nyp.33433076088933	Will you let me see if she is right?
nyp.33433076088933	Will you never come to see it?"
nyp.33433076088933	Will you take that for your answer and let me go?"
nyp.33433076088933	With a signifi- ca nt gesture toward the tapestry, he eagerly ex- claimed:"You see that?
nyp.33433076088933	With this woman eliminated from the situation, what ex- planation was there of the curious death he was there to investigate?
nyp.33433076088933	Wo n't you excuse me?
nyp.33433076088933	Would a more direct question rouse him?
nyp.33433076088933	Would a younger man have served them better?
nyp.33433076088933	Would any of them?
nyp.33433076088933	Would anything come of it?
nyp.33433076088933	Would he find her in?
nyp.33433076088933	Would he have any better luck with the sub- ject of his next inquiry?
nyp.33433076088933	Would he obtain a straight answer if he did?
nyp.33433076088933	Would he pause before it or hurry by into the broad corridor in front?
nyp.33433076088933	Would he use his influence with this stranger?
nyp.33433076088933	Would it do to interrupt him with questions?
nyp.33433076088933	Would it not have been better if the avalanche had overwhelmed them?
nyp.33433076088933	Would she be in spirits to meet him?
nyp.33433076088933	Would she heed his prayer?
nyp.33433076088933	Would she look beautiful — worthy of his name, worthy of the greatest sacrifice a man can make for a woman?
nyp.33433076088933	Would they find her there?
nyp.33433076088933	Would they send over a capable detective?
nyp.33433076088933	Would this display of friendliness have the effect of restoring some of his self- possession and giving him the confidence he evi- dently lacked?
nyp.33433076088933	XXVI THE FACE IN THE WINDOW"IS this the place?"
nyp.33433076088933	Yet I do not see how we can be held responsible for so unprecedented an attack as this, do you?"
nyp.33433076088933	Yet how could these men know?
nyp.33433076088933	You are not quite yourself to- day?"
nyp.33433076088933	You do n't happen to know where she's gone to, do you?"
nyp.33433076088933	You have given us a clever explana- tion of one of them, but how about the other?
nyp.33433076088933	You remem- ber the day we all left school and you went home and I came to Britanny?
nyp.33433076088933	You say you saw her fall, but how did you know she was killed?"
nyp.33433076088933	You were looking at the armor when you first heard the hubbub over there?"
nyp.33433076088933	You would n't attribute any such ex- traordinary precaution as that to a fellow shooting an arrow across the court on a dare?"
nyp.33433076088933	he asked,"— your name and residence?"
nyp.33433076088933	he demanded after a few min- utes'wait, during which there had been a scattering to right and left along the galleries,"what do you say?"

osu.32435018037036	He was very attentive to her. ” “ Did Mrs. Felderson ask her husband to divorce her? ” “ Yes, ” I replied.
osu.32435018037036	How could they have known it was your brother- in- law's car? ” “ By the big search- light in front.

osu.32435018037036	Is n’t it only natural that I should suspect him? ” Her look was entirely sympathetic as she replied.
osu.32435018037036	It did n't work, did it? ” “ No.
osu.32435018037036	It might have been money or jealousy. ” “ Money? ” I scoffed.

osu.32435018037036	Thank the Lord your affairs are going well anyway. ” “ Has something happened since I ’ve been Out? ” I asked.
osu.32435018037036	That would spoil it all, do n’t you see?
osu.32435018037036	That's why I stopped. ” “ Well, you ’ve found out, have n’t you?
osu.32435018037036	The reason my hands would be tied is because Helen's money would pay his obligations. ” “ Helen's money? ” I laughed.
osu.32435018037036	Then, too, if Zalnitch recognized Felderson ’s car, why did n’t he fire point- blank at Felderson instead of waiting till he got past?
osu.32435018037036	There Was Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Brown and I think Mr. Woods. ” “ Are you sure Mr. Woods was in here? ” “ Well, no, sir, not exactly.

osu.32435018037036	“ But, Doctor, can nothing be done?
osu.32435018037036	“ But, Warren, the fact that she was delir- ious will make it pretty shaky testimony, wo n’t it? ” Mary argued.

nyp.33433076073844	And bolted that window- door behind you?
nyp.33433076073844	And his motive?
nyp.33433076073844	And how did Miss Austin or the Jap, either, leave the room locked on the inside?
nyp.33433076073844	And how did he leave the room?
nyp.33433076073844	And locked it?
nyp.33433076073844	And no weapon about?
nyp.33433076073844	And that? nyp.33433076073844 And then you took the stiletto home and hid it?"
nyp.33433076073844	And then?
nyp.33433076073844	And this Henry Waring — he was the father of Doctor John Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	And this Nogi has disappeared?
nyp.33433076073844	And what are my so- called intentions?
nyp.33433076073844	And where did you get the money and the ruby pin?
nyp.33433076073844	And who was mixed up in the murder of Doctor John Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	And why should he? nyp.33433076073844 And you heard nothing from the room after that?
nyp.33433076073844	And you reached home — when?
nyp.33433076073844	And you spoke to the Doctor before leaving?
nyp.33433076073844	Any gone, that you can notice?
nyp.33433076073844	Any other suspects?
nyp.33433076073844	Anything else missing?
nyp.33433076073844	Are we entitled to?
nyp.33433076073844	Are you and she engaged?
nyp.33433076073844	Are you familiar with so many private col- lections of strange weapons that you ca n't remember where you have seen a round- shaped blade?
nyp.33433076073844	Are you happy, John? nyp.33433076073844 Are you sure it's missing?
nyp.33433076073844	Are you willing we should search your effects?
nyp.33433076073844	At Mrs. Adams,she returned,"is it a good house?"
nyp.33433076073844	At what time did you last see the doctor?
nyp.33433076073844	At what time,he said, abruptly,"did Doctor Waring lock his study door?"
nyp.33433076073844	Because of the meeting?
nyp.33433076073844	Because you fear ill effects to yourself?
nyp.33433076073844	Beginning to wake up, are you? nyp.33433076073844 Best accommodations?"
nyp.33433076073844	But I was waitin'quite a few minutes, and, what do you think? nyp.33433076073844 But do you know who she is?
nyp.33433076073844	But how can I?
nyp.33433076073844	But we have n't sufficient evidence, Mr. Lock- WHERE IS NOW? nyp.33433076073844 But what can I say?
nyp.33433076073844	But what of that? nyp.33433076073844 But what reason is there in that?"
nyp.33433076073844	But where is Letty? nyp.33433076073844 But, Doctor Waring,"put in Lockwood,"is it wise?
nyp.33433076073844	But, Gordon —"But, Anita — answer me just one question — do you love me?
nyp.33433076073844	Ca n't you learn the truth from the young lady herself — if she is your fiancee?
nyp.33433076073844	Can she prove it?
nyp.33433076073844	Can you imagine his killing his master — grant- ing the opportunity?
nyp.33433076073844	Can you see through that glass?
nyp.33433076073844	Can you suggest any ex- planation — however difficult of belief?
nyp.33433076073844	Check? nyp.33433076073844 Chummy?
nyp.33433076073844	Clear? nyp.33433076073844 Corinth,"she whispered,"Oh, Corinth, what do you hold for me?
nyp.33433076073844	Could he shield you? nyp.33433076073844 Could he?"
nyp.33433076073844	Could you not, then, hear anything that went on in the study?
nyp.33433076073844	Did any one call?
nyp.33433076073844	Did he respond to your rap last night?
nyp.33433076073844	Did she know Doctor Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	Did you love that man?
nyp.33433076073844	Did you take a paper from this basket and put it in your pocket?
nyp.33433076073844	Do n't the Adamses know?
nyp.33433076073844	Do n't you see I'm cold, hungry and very uncomfortable? nyp.33433076073844 Do n't you think she's odd looking?"
nyp.33433076073844	Do we, any of us know who we are? nyp.33433076073844 Do you remember seeing this chair, Monday morning?"
nyp.33433076073844	Doctor Waring's?
nyp.33433076073844	Does your knowledge of physiognomy tell you that those meeting eyebrows are a sign of a criminal?
nyp.33433076073844	Drawer never locked?
nyp.33433076073844	First of all,Stone said,"who sent you that telegram from San Francisco?"
nyp.33433076073844	For me? nyp.33433076073844 Found dead in the morning?
nyp.33433076073844	Freshman?
nyp.33433076073844	Funny, am I?
nyp.33433076073844	Go on, Mr. Cray,she directed him, meantime looking at him with eyes full of a haunting fear,"what is it?"
nyp.33433076073844	Going to be married soon, Uncle Doc?
nyp.33433076073844	Gone where?
nyp.33433076073844	Good morning, Miss Austin,the good lady said, soon after,"better this morning?"
nyp.33433076073844	Guilty?
nyp.33433076073844	Have you a theory?
nyp.33433076073844	Have you any real right to tell me to leave her name alone?
nyp.33433076073844	Have you done much?
nyp.33433076073844	Have you no feel- ings whatever? nyp.33433076073844 He came well recommended?"
nyp.33433076073844	He do the job?
nyp.33433076073844	He seemed honest and faithful?
nyp.33433076073844	He sprang to his sleigh,—to his team gave a whistle, —she quoted to herself, and then cried out,"Hey, there, Santa Claus, give me a lift?"
nyp.33433076073844	Heard the news about Doctor Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	Ho, ho,he chuckled,"you command me, do you?
nyp.33433076073844	How about a bill- file?
nyp.33433076073844	How can I promise that?
nyp.33433076073844	How can they?
nyp.33433076073844	How can you identify the prints of a man not here?
nyp.33433076073844	How could I have done so?
nyp.33433076073844	How do I know? nyp.33433076073844 How do you do, Uncle Doctor?"
nyp.33433076073844	How do you know she's experienced? nyp.33433076073844 How do you know?"
nyp.33433076073844	How do you know?
nyp.33433076073844	How do you know?
nyp.33433076073844	How do you know?
nyp.33433076073844	How does any one get cold?
nyp.33433076073844	How old is she?
nyp.33433076073844	How shall we do it? nyp.33433076073844 How?"
nyp.33433076073844	I am not sure, madam — but, the master —"Yes, what about Doctor Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	I am so lonely and so friendless —"Why are you? nyp.33433076073844 I ca n't go from door to door, saying'I've come to investi- gate a rumor,'can I?"
nyp.33433076073844	I have n't quite decided what to do — and beside, Mr. Trask, who killed my — Doctor Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	I just thought where would a poor, hunted kid go? nyp.33433076073844 I think you're quite right, Mrs. Bates,"Lock- wood agreed;"but granting it was suicide, what do you think was the cause?"
nyp.33433076073844	I'll come in and unhook you, shall I?
nyp.33433076073844	If he was in love with her —WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	If you're going to get Stone anyway, why ca n't we work with each other and not at odds? nyp.33433076073844 Immediately?"
nyp.33433076073844	In paper rolls?
nyp.33433076073844	Inside the room?
nyp.33433076073844	Is n't he? nyp.33433076073844 Is she pretty?"
nyp.33433076073844	Is she?
nyp.33433076073844	Is that true?
nyp.33433076073844	Is the station master sure it was Nogi?
nyp.33433076073844	Is there a crowd? nyp.33433076073844 It will be a short time, wo n't it, sweetheart?"
nyp.33433076073844	Ito,he began,"did you let in any one late Sunday night — after you came home?"
nyp.33433076073844	Jealous, Miss Peyton?
nyp.33433076073844	Just so; and, granting that, will you suggest what may have become of the weapon that was used?
nyp.33433076073844	Just why?
nyp.33433076073844	Know Doctor Waring? nyp.33433076073844 Known to all men, I suppose?"
nyp.33433076073844	May I see it, please?
nyp.33433076073844	Miss Austin? nyp.33433076073844 More than you loved Doctor Waring?"
nyp.33433076073844	My intentions? nyp.33433076073844 Never saw him before?"
nyp.33433076073844	No, he was not —"How do you know?
nyp.33433076073844	No; I did n't think much about it at the time — she's a crazy piece anyway — and —''What do you mean by a crazy piece?"
nyp.33433076073844	No; and if he had, where's the branding iron — to call it that — and where's the dagger?
nyp.33433076073844	No; what is it?
nyp.33433076073844	No; who's he?
nyp.33433076073844	No?
nyp.33433076073844	No?
nyp.33433076073844	No?
nyp.33433076073844	Nogi?
nyp.33433076073844	Not an adventuress, then?
nyp.33433076073844	Not open? nyp.33433076073844 Now ca n't you see she did n't come?
nyp.33433076073844	Now, Miss Bascom,Cray began at once,"what made you think of looking in this lady's bureau drawer for that money?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, first of all, Miss Austin,Trask said,"where is your home?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, look here, Miss Austin, you keep quiet about all this, will you? nyp.33433076073844 Now, now, Miss Austin, why do you take it 11 162 THE MYSTERY GIRL so hard?
nyp.33433076073844	Now, we do n't say that did happen, but what I want to know is, who is at the head of this investigation?
nyp.33433076073844	Now, what shall we do first? nyp.33433076073844 Of course it was Nogi,"said Lockwood, and Morton snapped him up with,"Why are you so sure?"
nyp.33433076073844	Oh, am I not? nyp.33433076073844 Perhaps Doctor Waring gave them to her?"
nyp.33433076073844	Playing truant?
nyp.33433076073844	Poor child,he said to himself,"what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433076073844	Run away, has she?
nyp.33433076073844	See here, Mr. Lockwood, it does n't matter to WHO IS MISS MYSTERY? nyp.33433076073844 Shall I translate, or read the Latin aloud?"
nyp.33433076073844	She could n't be — be implicated — could she, Salt?
nyp.33433076073844	She has a high temper, has n't she?
nyp.33433076073844	She promised not to see you alone — is this how she keeps the letter of her promise and breaks it in spirit?
nyp.33433076073844	Some are engaged, but as yet unoccupied?
nyp.33433076073844	Such as what?
nyp.33433076073844	Suicide or murder?
nyp.33433076073844	Sunday night, do you mean?
nyp.33433076073844	Suppose I say I — he killed himself,she said,"will you believe me?"
nyp.33433076073844	Sure of the number?
nyp.33433076073844	Tea, Mrs. Peyton? nyp.33433076073844 That ten thousand dollar check?"
nyp.33433076073844	That's my business,Cray said, sharply:"now, Mr. Lockwood, why did you smooth off that chair back?
nyp.33433076073844	The French window? nyp.33433076073844 The Jap's?"
nyp.33433076073844	The Truesdell brows?
nyp.33433076073844	The first time in your life?
nyp.33433076073844	The new one?
nyp.33433076073844	The point is, if he killed himself, where is the weapon?
nyp.33433076073844	Then can you explain your possession of those articles?
nyp.33433076073844	Then why did you kill him?
nyp.33433076073844	Then, if you did, do you want his name stained, his memory blotted by an act that is, to say the least, questionable?
nyp.33433076073844	There is a chauffeur?
nyp.33433076073844	There, there,came Mrs. Adams'placating voice,"what if she did?
nyp.33433076073844	There,he said, as he arranged a pillow or two,"is that right?"
nyp.33433076073844	This one?
nyp.33433076073844	This servant had done these things before?
nyp.33433076073844	To whom?
nyp.33433076073844	To you, ma'am?
nyp.33433076073844	Very well, then, how came he by his death?
nyp.33433076073844	Wait a minute,Morton said,"how about robbery?
nyp.33433076073844	Want her here?
nyp.33433076073844	Was anything further found to incriminate me?
nyp.33433076073844	Was the money in bills?
nyp.33433076073844	Was there anything else to be found?
nyp.33433076073844	We have never met before, have we?
nyp.33433076073844	We want to stay here, do n't we? nyp.33433076073844 Well, how did he do it?"
nyp.33433076073844	Well, then, what do you surmise has become of that five hundred dollars and that ruby stickpin? nyp.33433076073844 Well, these prints are more than twenty- four WHERE IS NOW?
nyp.33433076073844	Well, what you been saying to her?
nyp.33433076073844	Well,Cray demanded of the lawyer,"if no will can be found, then who inherits the property of Doctor Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	Were n't the valuables planted on her?
nyp.33433076073844	What address there?
nyp.33433076073844	What are you doing?
nyp.33433076073844	What can I do? nyp.33433076073844 What can explain the locked room, on a mur- der theory?"
nyp.33433076073844	What did you use?
nyp.33433076073844	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076073844	What does any girl visit a man for?
nyp.33433076073844	What else? nyp.33433076073844 What for?"
nyp.33433076073844	What good'll that do you? nyp.33433076073844 What has happened?
nyp.33433076073844	What is it, Higby, what have you found?
nyp.33433076073844	What matters?
nyp.33433076073844	What number is the Epigram?
nyp.33433076073844	What other motive could there be, Mrs. Bates? nyp.33433076073844 What other servants are there?"
nyp.33433076073844	What relation could she be?
nyp.33433076073844	What shall I do?
nyp.33433076073844	What the deuce is she up to?
nyp.33433076073844	What was the weapon?
nyp.33433076073844	What'd she say?
nyp.33433076073844	What's the matter over there?
nyp.33433076073844	What's the matter with her?
nyp.33433076073844	What's this about Nogi being gone?
nyp.33433076073844	When did you see Nogi last?
nyp.33433076073844	When was that?
nyp.33433076073844	Where are the story books?
nyp.33433076073844	Where did she come from?
nyp.33433076073844	Where do you come from, Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	Where is it?
nyp.33433076073844	Where is it?
nyp.33433076073844	Where is she?
nyp.33433076073844	Where were you, then?
nyp.33433076073844	Where you from?
nyp.33433076073844	Where you staying?
nyp.33433076073844	Where's Lockwood?
nyp.33433076073844	Where?
nyp.33433076073844	Which one?
nyp.33433076073844	Who are the speakers?
nyp.33433076073844	Who did it?
nyp.33433076073844	Who did?
nyp.33433076073844	Who is she?
nyp.33433076073844	Who took it?
nyp.33433076073844	Who wrote the letter?
nyp.33433076073844	Who's there? nyp.33433076073844 Who?"
nyp.33433076073844	Why are you here, Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	Why are you so disturbed then?
nyp.33433076073844	Why did you do this?
nyp.33433076073844	Why did you fear that?
nyp.33433076073844	Why do n't you, then?
nyp.33433076073844	Why do you say that?
nyp.33433076073844	Why else would he run away? nyp.33433076073844 Why not?
nyp.33433076073844	Why not?
nyp.33433076073844	Why not?
nyp.33433076073844	Why should n't she?
nyp.33433076073844	Why should we inquire into her indentity or his- tory further than she chooses to enlighten us?
nyp.33433076073844	Why wait? nyp.33433076073844 Why would any one mark Doctor Waring's face with a tumbler?"
nyp.33433076073844	Why, what ails you? nyp.33433076073844 Why, what's the harm in my saying that?"
nyp.33433076073844	Why,said Miss Bascom, aggrievedly relating her experience,"I just said, politely,'Are you from New York or where, Miss Austin?'
nyp.33433076073844	Why? nyp.33433076073844 Will you send me up a tray of supper?
nyp.33433076073844	Will you sit here, please, Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	With a duster?
nyp.33433076073844	With a round hole in his jugular vein? nyp.33433076073844 With your stiletto?"
nyp.33433076073844	Would I have to tell a lawyer — everything?
nyp.33433076073844	Yes — and who's your detective? nyp.33433076073844 Yes — that is, she must have done so, or — how else could they have been found there?
nyp.33433076073844	Yes, Salt, what do you know?
nyp.33433076073844	Yes, but where is the bill- file?
nyp.33433076073844	Yes,Anita sighed, and then suddenly;"what do you mean?
nyp.33433076073844	Yes; I mean she's under a mistaken sense of duty to somebody, or —"State your meaning more definitely, will you?
nyp.33433076073844	Yet you remained until eleven?
nyp.33433076073844	You agree to murder, then?
nyp.33433076073844	You are sure of that?
nyp.33433076073844	You are sure you're not overestimating the danger of that?
nyp.33433076073844	You did n't kill him?
nyp.33433076073844	You did n't use that to kill him?
nyp.33433076073844	You do n't care to tell it to me?
nyp.33433076073844	You engaged for our house?
nyp.33433076073844	You found her?
nyp.33433076073844	You had Nogi but a short time?
nyp.33433076073844	You know where this drawer is?
nyp.33433076073844	You like her, then?
nyp.33433076073844	You may go,he told Ito, and then, turning to Lockwood, he said, a little belligerently,"Who is in charge here?
nyp.33433076073844	You mean regarding this trouble that I hear is brewing for me?
nyp.33433076073844	You mean, I suppose the roll of bills that Miss Bascom put into my top bureau drawer?
nyp.33433076073844	You saw her come back?
nyp.33433076073844	You see about it, Mr. Lockwood, wo n't you?
nyp.33433076073844	You still eliminate suicide?
nyp.33433076073844	You suspect him?
nyp.33433076073844	You think he's implicated?
nyp.33433076073844	You think so? nyp.33433076073844 You too, Miss Mystery?"
nyp.33433076073844	You want to be of help, do n't you Helen? nyp.33433076073844 You would n't go any- where that you would n't want known — would you — Miss Mystery?"
nyp.33433076073844	You'd rather I would n't?
nyp.33433076073844	You're a freak — aren't you?
nyp.33433076073844	You're my friend, then?
nyp.33433076073844	'Fraid to wait in the sleigh alone?"
nyp.33433076073844	12 WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	188"Was Doctor Waring present when Miss Austin was here?"
nyp.33433076073844	20 THE MYSTERY GIRL"Why, Pinky,"she said,"when did you come?"
nyp.33433076073844	248 THE MYSTERY GIRL"Going out?"
nyp.33433076073844	260 THE MYSTERY GIRL"You say you'll give me a week?"
nyp.33433076073844	800 THE MYSTERY GIRL"Of whom?
nyp.33433076073844	84 THE TRAGEDY 86"What about the lecture tomorrow night, Doctor?
nyp.33433076073844	94 THE MYSTERY GIRL"Of what use are they?"
nyp.33433076073844	A BROKEN TEACUP 79"HowM you like the looks of the Doctor?"
nyp.33433076073844	A LOVE LETTER 167"Which would you rather think it?"
nyp.33433076073844	A LOVE LETTER 169"How does she know it was Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	A grateful look rewarded him, and then Gordon went on:"Tell me, did I read your eyes aright?
nyp.33433076073844	A sudden twinkle in her eye startled the old man, and he said quickly,"How do you know she is n't coming?"
nyp.33433076073844	A thief — and a murderer?"
nyp.33433076073844	About when do you pro- pose to reply?"
nyp.33433076073844	Adams?"
nyp.33433076073844	All happy?"
nyp.33433076073844	Am I clear?"
nyp.33433076073844	Am I, Mr. Cray?
nyp.33433076073844	And Doctor Waring still in there?"
nyp.33433076073844	And I wish you'd bring me a Corinth paper, please, There is one, is n't there?"
nyp.33433076073844	And bring the fellows?"
nyp.33433076073844	And he'll tell — oh, yes, he'll surely tell — and that will poison Gordon's mind against me — oh, was anybody ever in such trouble as I?"
nyp.33433076073844	And if it's true, you want them shown up, do n't you, whichever one it was?"
nyp.33433076073844	And is it considerable?"
nyp.33433076073844	And that beautiful colonnade one?"
nyp.33433076073844	And that?"
nyp.33433076073844	And then, what did he do it with?"
nyp.33433076073844	And why should n't it be?
nyp.33433076073844	And you then met Doctor Waring for the first time?"
nyp.33433076073844	And you?"
nyp.33433076073844	And your own grandfather did n't?"
nyp.33433076073844	And, look here, Esther, where's Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	Anita looked baffled, but after a moment's pause, she said,"Do you think I killed Doctor Waring?"
nyp.33433076073844	Anybody among your relatives named Truesdell?"
nyp.33433076073844	Are you glad?"
nyp.33433076073844	Are you inter- ested in that?"
nyp.33433076073844	Are you sure?"
nyp.33433076073844	Aut ubi non mors est, si iugulatis aquae?
nyp.33433076073844	Bates?"
nyp.33433076073844	Bates?"
nyp.33433076073844	Because inexplicable as that seems, WHERE IS NOGI?
nyp.33433076073844	Been dead all night?"
nyp.33433076073844	But I do know she's a thief — or how did she get that money and the ruby?"
nyp.33433076073844	But for a moment —""Did he put his hand out?"
nyp.33433076073844	But where is the will?
nyp.33433076073844	But — say she killed him — how did she get out and lock the room behind her?"
nyp.33433076073844	By the way, how did you get out?"
nyp.33433076073844	CHAPTER VIII WHERE IS NOGI?
nyp.33433076073844	CHAPTER X WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	Can you get it?"
nyp.33433076073844	Can you get through one of these windows, Ito, and unbolt the door?"
nyp.33433076073844	Clapping on his hat, he started for the Adan?
nyp.33433076073844	Come with me, Mrs. Bates — or, would you rather not?"
nyp.33433076073844	Could it be that the pretty little thing was merely a sly adventuress?
nyp.33433076073844	Cray?"
nyp.33433076073844	Cray?"
nyp.33433076073844	Cray?"
nyp.33433076073844	Crimmins?"
nyp.33433076073844	Dare you deny, Miss Austin, that you were in Doctor Waring's study that night he died?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did Doctor Waring give you that money of his own free will, Miss Austin?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did he wear one?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did n't she come?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did n't you?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you ask for them?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you ever see her before, John?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you love Doctor Waring?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you love him?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you notice his ruby stickpin?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you put it there?"
nyp.33433076073844	Did you?"
nyp.33433076073844	Do n't you know the mur- derer must be found and punished?
nyp.33433076073844	Do n't you remem- ber the morning I met you on the bridge,—and you were just about to throw yourself over the para- pet?"
nyp.33433076073844	Do n't you want me to do this?"
nyp.33433076073844	Do you care, Anita?
nyp.33433076073844	Do you hear?"
nyp.33433076073844	Do you know that little piece over at your boarding house, named Austin?"
nyp.33433076073844	Do you s'pose I left her at the station?
nyp.33433076073844	Do you, can you care to know how I love you?
nyp.33433076073844	Do you, upon oath, declare that you did not purposely smooth that chairback, for the reason that it showed some incriminating impress?"
nyp.33433076073844	Doctor Waring let you in?"
nyp.33433076073844	Does n't their disappearance rather argue against suicide?"
nyp.33433076073844	Even if it were the work 98 ft THE MYSTERY GIRL of your Miss Austin — how did she get in and out?"
nyp.33433076073844	Fibsy, dear, will you escort me home?"
nyp.33433076073844	Had Anita Austin received it — and was that why she kept to her room for two days?
nyp.33433076073844	Had Ito done this?
nyp.33433076073844	Had another been started — and completed?
nyp.33433076073844	Had he enemies?"
nyp.33433076073844	Had she secretly become acquainted with John Waring during her presence in Corinth, and had so charmed him that he wrote to her thus?
nyp.33433076073844	Has anything been missed?"
nyp.33433076073844	Has n't it dropped to the floor?"
nyp.33433076073844	Have you funds to engage a lawyer, Miss Austin?"
nyp.33433076073844	Have you talked to the girl?"
nyp.33433076073844	Have you told her about Doctor Waring?
nyp.33433076073844	Having his new fortune, he wanted a wife to help him enjoy it, and where could he find a more utterly desirable girl than Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	He gave up getting past history, and said, briefly,"Were you at Doctor Waring's house Sunday evening?"
nyp.33433076073844	He had no appearance of a criminal, he looked too proud and haughty to be a culprit, yet might that not be sheer bravado?
nyp.33433076073844	He looked at Gordon Lockwood from beneath his heavy brows, and demanded,"What do you know of this?"
nyp.33433076073844	He spoke only one or two of the merest com- monplaces, until almost at the close of the meal, he said:"Can I do anything for you, Miss Austin?
nyp.33433076073844	He was a stranger to you, was n't he?"
nyp.33433076073844	He's dead, is n't he?
nyp.33433076073844	Helen cried;"what marks could there be?"
nyp.33433076073844	Hey, my boy, how's that?"
nyp.33433076073844	His private secretary?"
nyp.33433076073844	How could any one get in or out?"
nyp.33433076073844	How could anyone have put it back on the shelf?
nyp.33433076073844	How could he say to this lovely small person that he suspected her of wrong doing?
nyp.33433076073844	How could it be possible that John War- IN THE MYSTERY GIRL ing, the dignified scholar, the confirmed bachelor, should have loved this mystery girl?
nyp.33433076073844	How did he know?
nyp.33433076073844	How do you know?"
nyp.33433076073844	How old are you, my dear child?"
nyp.33433076073844	How well do you — did you know the Doctor?"
nyp.33433076073844	I say, Aunt Emily, after you are married, may I come to tea every day?
nyp.33433076073844	I say, may I come to see you?"
nyp.33433076073844	I wanted to spare him, but what could I do?
nyp.33433076073844	I — I have n't looked —""Why do n't you go in?"
nyp.33433076073844	IN THE MYSTERY GIRL"How did you get cold?"
nyp.33433076073844	IS 193 IN THE MYSTERY GIRL"A plant?"
nyp.33433076073844	If I find out what I fully expect to find out I shall make it all public — how will you like that?"
nyp.33433076073844	If it had been suicide — which THE VOLUME OF MARTIAL 131 it wasn't — why under heaven would a burglar com- ing in later, take away the weapon?"
nyp.33433076073844	If love at first sight had been born in the man's heart, must it not have found response in the girl's?
nyp.33433076073844	Interested in the siren yourself, eh?"
nyp.33433076073844	Interesting, is it not?"
nyp.33433076073844	Is he going to have a little flib- bertigibbet coming to see him late at night, for any romantic reasons?"
nyp.33433076073844	Is there a special meaning in your words?"
nyp.33433076073844	Is there, John?
nyp.33433076073844	It proves that girl was here — MAURICE TRASK, HEIR 228 does n't it?
nyp.33433076073844	It was round and smooth and without chasing or marking of any sort, save for the initials G. L."This yours?"
nyp.33433076073844	It's evidence, is n't it?
nyp.33433076073844	Ito, what do you mean?"
nyp.33433076073844	Leave the room, wo n't you?"
nyp.33433076073844	Little Old Maurice wants a wine — and — who do you suppose has caught my fancy?"
nyp.33433076073844	Lockwood?"
nyp.33433076073844	Lockwood?"
nyp.33433076073844	Lockwood?"
nyp.33433076073844	Look here, Morton; it's got to be either murder or suicide, has n't it?
nyp.33433076073844	Madam knows?"
nyp.33433076073844	May I bring her to call on you?"
nyp.33433076073844	May I love you?"
nyp.33433076073844	May not the distant cousin, this man Trask be in some way responsible for the destruction of the will and the death of the decedent?"
nyp.33433076073844	Met Bob Tyler?"
nyp.33433076073844	Met Gordon Lockwood?"
nyp.33433076073844	Might he not be a better man for you, Miss Austin, than a stranger in the town?"
nyp.33433076073844	Miss Austin, do you own an embroidery stiletto?"
nyp.33433076073844	Miss Austin, will you be good enough to get up and turn around?"
nyp.33433076073844	Mr. Lockwood, do you deny obliterating these marks in question?"
nyp.33433076073844	Mr. Trask, have you no pity?"
nyp.33433076073844	Murder or suicide?
nyp.33433076073844	Night after night, she sits up looking • THIRTEEN BUTTONS 53 out of the window, over toward the college build- ings —""How do you know?"
nyp.33433076073844	No chance of a natural death?"
nyp.33433076073844	No joke- books?"
nyp.33433076073844	No sound of voices?
nyp.33433076073844	No spier novels?
nyp.33433076073844	Nobody coming in at the French window?"
nyp.33433076073844	Not artificial, are they?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now — as to — to Doctor Waring — why did he kill himself?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, I suppose you've had the finger print expert in?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, do you want to tell me who you are — or not?
nyp.33433076073844	Now, how did the murderer get out?
nyp.33433076073844	Now, how?
nyp.33433076073844	Now, just why did you hide that stiletto of yours?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, tell me, please, can you get at the truth about that girl?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, why ca n't you be chummy and sociable like?"
nyp.33433076073844	Now, why did you come to Corinth?"
nyp.33433076073844	On the other hand —"There was a pause, and then Anita said:"On the other hand?"
nyp.33433076073844	Or dumped her out along the road?
nyp.33433076073844	Or will you send for that tomorrow?"
nyp.33433076073844	Or, even if not, could she have killed a man who felt thus toward her?
nyp.33433076073844	Or, had they known each other before?
nyp.33433076073844	PLANNING AN ELOPEMENT 319"Is she?
nyp.33433076073844	Quid non saeva sibi voluit Fortuna licere?

nyp.33433076073844	Scared, are you?
nyp.33433076073844	See?
nyp.33433076073844	She has a 280 THE MYSTERY GIRL sat at his desk his secretary outside in that hall?"
nyp.33433076073844	She is the victim of some delusion —""Delusion?"
nyp.33433076073844	She'll escape punishment — what woman does n't?"
nyp.33433076073844	Since you came into my life, life is worth living'—or something like that —""When — when did he write that?"
nyp.33433076073844	So, as I say, is n't it the only plausible theory, that Miss Bascom, who found the valuables so readily, first put them there herself?"
nyp.33433076073844	Sociable?
nyp.33433076073844	Somebody did n't want him for presi- dent?
nyp.33433076073844	Something in the girl's face stayed the kindly words the woman meant to say, and, instead, she broke out: in WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	Stone?"
nyp.33433076073844	Stone?"
nyp.33433076073844	Straightforwardly he asked:"Did Doctor Waring make love to you?
nyp.33433076073844	Surely, there are round stilettos, are there not?"
nyp.33433076073844	THE TRAGEDY 89"What is it?"
nyp.33433076073844	THE TRAGEDY 97"Who did it, Master?"
nyp.33433076073844	THE TRUESDELL EYEBROWS 235"Who in the world can she be?"
nyp.33433076073844	THE TRUESDELL EYEBROWS 241"Know Doctor Waring before you came here?"
nyp.33433076073844	Tell me — what is the — the news?"
nyp.33433076073844	Tell me, Mr. Cray,"and Miss Mystery suddenly resumed her most independent air,"must I submit to this?
nyp.33433076073844	That girl stole those things, or else she got WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	That so?"
nyp.33433076073844	That the idea?"
nyp.33433076073844	That's not unreasonable, is it?"
nyp.33433076073844	The brother of your grandfather, now, Mr. Trask, he was named —?"
nyp.33433076073844	The secretary was a busy man, for his late em- ployer had had a number of diversified interests WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	The study door locked, and Doctor Waring still in there?
nyp.33433076073844	Then he said, softly:"It's too bad, is n't it?"
nyp.33433076073844	Then the master got up, went to the small window at the back of the room —""Which one?"
nyp.33433076073844	Then, too, how could he lock the door behind him?"
nyp.33433076073844	They claim she was the last one to see the victim alive —""Does she admit that?"
nyp.33433076073844	They're our best people —"A BROKEN TEACUP 67"What makes you think I want to see your best people?"
nyp.33433076073844	To whom do I make my re- port?"
nyp.33433076073844	To whom is his for- tune willed?
nyp.33433076073844	WHERE IS NOGI?
nyp.33433076073844	WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	WHO IS MISS MYSTERY?
nyp.33433076073844	Want to tell me who your father was?
nyp.33433076073844	Was it done before or after death?"
nyp.33433076073844	We ca n't imagine Doctor Waring branding his own forehead, and then killing himself, can we?"
nyp.33433076073844	We go through this world, strangers to each other — do n't we?
nyp.33433076073844	We'll pull you through, eh, Old Salt?"
nyp.33433076073844	Well, Fibs, which way shall we look?"
nyp.33433076073844	Well, if you're so smart, where'd she go?"
nyp.33433076073844	Well, then, to which of the two do the greater number of clues point?
nyp.33433076073844	Well, well, if this is during our betrothal days, what will you do after we are married?"
nyp.33433076073844	Well, why should she, if she does n't want to?"
nyp.33433076073844	What about footprints?"
nyp.33433076073844	What about her?"
nyp.33433076073844	What are you anyway?
nyp.33433076073844	What are you going to do?"
nyp.33433076073844	What book was Doctor Waring reading that night?"

nyp.33433076073844	Would n't you like it?"
nyp.33433076073844	Would you care to have this, Miss Austin?"

nyp.33433076073844	You know yourself, now, do n't you, Mr. Cray, that I'm not a burglar — or a bandit or a sneak thief?
nyp.33433076073844	You loved him?"

nyp.33433076073844	he said, casually,"may I wall with you?"
nyp.33433076073844	he said, courteously;"what is your errand in Corinth?"
nyp.33433076073844	she cried;"how dare you eavesdrop and listen to a conversation not meant for your ears?
nyp.33433076073844	she said,"may I be excused from this questioning until I can get counsel?

osu.32435018408914	- “ What is it? ” came the answer.
osu.32435018408914	5o ASHTON- KIRK t “ Who the devil is it? ” it demanded.
osu.32435018408914	After making the door fast, the big man asked: “ Well, where do we give the next look?
osu.32435018408914	And just above I saw a most astonishing house. ” “ Big one? ” asked Bat.
osu.32435018408914	And then, 86 ASHTON- KIRK with his eyes upon the other, he added: “ But why? ” The crime specialist slipped from the table.
osu.32435018408914	And when he does come out, why does he look as if he was running away when he gits sight of anybody?
osu.32435018408914	And why?
osu.32435018408914	And with it hidden as much as her wraps would hide it, she went away. ” “ Well? ” asked Bat, quietly.
osu.32435018408914	And, mentally, he added: “ Oh, golden Helen, what makes you always have meanings on the side?
osu.32435018408914	Are you a guest of the house? ” “ No, ” replied Bat, “ Not yet. ” “ I was recommended here, ” said the man.
osu.32435018408914	But I would not let her. ” “ You are not hurt? ” asked a voice, and the golden- haired girl came toward young Campe.
osu.32435018408914	But how are we to associate them?
osu.32435018408914	But how can you give help where you do not understand? ” Bat agreed with this.
osu.32435018408914	But start I did on that occasion. ” “ But why? ” and the dull eyes of the spinster were full of wonder.
osu.32435018408914	But what's a fellow unaccustomed to such things to do?
osu.32435018408914	But what's the answer? ” “ The greater part of the Mexican population is mixed with Indian blood, ” said the crime special- ist.
osu.32435018408914	But what? ” Across the strings of the harp stole a shadowy hand.
osu.32435018408914	But, ” and he looked at Ashton- Kirk, earnestly, “ had it really anything on this town of ours?
osu.32435018408914	Can you blame him if he cherishes his aches and makes much of his pains?
osu.32435018408914	Did n't you find them so? ” “ Yes. ” “ I saw the wound.
osu.32435018408914	Do you remember? ” “ I heard both, ” said Bat.
osu.32435018408914	Eh?
osu.32435018408914	Ever take that away with you? ” “ I have, ” replied Miss Knowles.
osu.32435018408914	Finally Scanlon said: “ Well? ” She came nearer to him.
osu.32435018408914	Got your gun on? ” “ Yes, ” said young Campe.
osu.32435018408914	Has he got them placed?
osu.32435018408914	He frowned perplexedly, and asked: “ But why write this way?
osu.32435018408914	He said you would speak to me. ” “ Did he say anything more? ” “ He told me to obey your orders. ” Ashton- Kirk nodded.
osu.32435018408914	He stood in silence for a time, apparently digesting what he'd heard; then he asked, curiously: “ But how did you drop to all this?
osu.32435018408914	How about the harp?
osu.32435018408914	How did you begin?
osu.32435018408914	How did you work it out? ” “ My starting point, ” said Ashton- Kirk, “ was when you told me the landlord had had the inn only a short time.
osu.32435018408914	I said, ” candidly, the hand lift- ing to another salute, “ not to do it. ” “ Why? ” “ I was not sure.
osu.32435018408914	In the room where the tapestries are? ” “ Ah!
osu.32435018408914	Is something doing for this P. M.?
osu.32435018408914	Is that too much for a woman to do?
osu.32435018408914	It ought to be seen into. ” “ Why do n't you speak to Campe? ” suggested Bat.
osu.32435018408914	It'll stick around that quarter till sunup, anyway. ” “ Is n’t it delightful to understand the laws of Nature? ” said Miss Hohenlo.
osu.32435018408914	It's the air that does it. ” “ Makes them ill? ” smiled Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	Now the middle of a roadway as a site shows carelessness, do n't you think? ” But the ancient refused to be side- tracked.
osu.32435018408914	Now, here's your little matter, ” eagerly: “ he could take hold of that, and??
osu.32435018408914	Now, here's your little matter, ” eagerly: “ he could take hold of that, and??
osu.32435018408914	Only for the moon we'd run over him. ” “ What was wrong? ” asked Scanlon, care- lessly.
osu.32435018408914	SPECIAL DETECTIVE 65 “ Some stunner, eh? ” whispered Bat Scanlon to Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	So why worry? ” Ashton- Kirk opened a drawer and took out a folded paper.
osu.32435018408914	Suppose it is damp?
osu.32435018408914	Suppose it is dark?
osu.32435018408914	The Apaches were bad, but, ” and Bat shook his head, “ there was something worse. ” “ Yes? ” said young Campe.
osu.32435018408914	The banks are rather picturesque, do n't you think?
osu.32435018408914	The river bank, eh?
osu.32435018408914	Then with a nod at the strings: “ Going to read them all? ” “ No, ” said Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	Then, after a moment, he said: “ You will be careful of the strangers? ” Bat nodded.
osu.32435018408914	Then: “ You have no car here, Mr. Campe? ” “ No, we have no use for one, as we seldom go any distance. ” “ A run will be a novelty.
osu.32435018408914	Things seemed to have shifted, some- how. ” “ In what way? ” asked Miss Knowles.
osu.32435018408914	We got word six hours later, and made good time after them. ” “ In the night? ” asked Miss Knowles.
osu.32435018408914	Well, and then what?
osu.32435018408914	Were its nights deeper?

osu.32435018408914	What backs has it hung across in journeys through strange lands?

osu.32435018408914	What helmets and plates of proof has it rung upon?
osu.32435018408914	What number of the oppressed and helpless has its hiss and its swing released from tyranny?
osu.32435018408914	What pos- sible connection has a delicate gilt harp with a mysterious noise in the night?

osu.32435018408914	What was all this talk about it — this talk, and other things?
osu.32435018408914	What was she hinting about?
osu.32435018408914	What was she saying one thing for, and meaning something else?
osu.32435018408914	What's he afraid of?
osu.32435018408914	What's the idea of her wandering out among the hills at night?
osu.32435018408914	What's the idea?
osu.32435018408914	What's wrong with him?
osu.32435018408914	When did you leave? ” “ If I had taken the hints the landlord and help gave me, ” said Ashton- Kirk, grimly, “ I ’d have left the first day.

osu.32435018408914	Why did she drop the dish when she first heard your name?

osu.32435018408914	what were his habits?—what interests, financial or otherwise, did he oppose? ” “ It looks like a large order, ” said Fuller.
osu.32435018408914	“ Always, ” she said, “ she does that. ” “ Well, ” asked Bat, “ what of it?
osu.32435018408914	“ And I felt like putting it to him as a question shaped something like: ‘ Why stay here when there's places where there's more folks?
osu.32435018408914	“ And all the time we are hanging around we'll be busy laying off the land with the surveyor's stuff, eh? ” “ Yes, ” replied Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	“ And so you think it was Miss Grace Knowles, do you? ” “ Who else could it have been P ” demanded Bat.
osu.32435018408914	“ And such times? ” asked Bat, “ Just what are they like? ” The drawn man wiped his lips, and his thin, bowed shoulders shrugged.
osu.32435018408914	“ And such times? ” asked Bat, “ Just what are they like? ” The drawn man wiped his lips, and his thin, bowed shoulders shrugged.
osu.32435018408914	“ And then, ” she said, searching Scanlon ’s face, “ what did I do? ” “ You went away, ” replied the big man.
osu.32435018408914	“ And who else screamed on the night Kretz met me on the stairs?
osu.32435018408914	“ Anything else? ” asked the man.
osu.32435018408914	“ Anything more? ” “ No. ” Fuller left the room with hasty step; and Bat Scanlon nodded his admiration.
osu.32435018408914	“ Are your nails still in the door to the vaults? ” “ They are, ” replied Scanlon, proudly.
osu.32435018408914	“ Being so abruptly treated, ” inquiringly, “ I suppose he will not come again? ” “ You never can tell, ” replied Scanlon.
osu.32435018408914	“ But just where do I come in? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ But which, and why? ” As he could think of nothing to do in the mat- ter, he was turning away; but just then a thought struck him.
osu.32435018408914	“ But why all the frills?
osu.32435018408914	“ But, ” protested Scanlon, “ you would n't say she had any shortcoming like that, would you?
osu.32435018408914	“ But, ” she suggested, “ wo n't you find it very dull here while we are gone? ” “ Quite the contrary, ” replied Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	“ Did he take any of them? ” she asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ Do n’t you think they only appear to be so? ” said he, But Miss Hohenlo shook her head.
osu.32435018408914	“ Do you have to listen to them often? ” The innkeeper smiled.
osu.32435018408914	“ Eh? ” said he, staring.
osu.32435018408914	“ Every- thing all right? ”- 252 ASHTON- KIRK “ Everything, ” replied the young man.
osu.32435018408914	“ For what? ” Ashton- Kirk shook his head.
osu.32435018408914	“ Funny, ai n't it, how he should come asking after you like that, and you not know him?
osu.32435018408914	“ Getting on the nerves of the population, eh? ” said he.
osu.32435018408914	“ Has any one been hurt? ” “ No such luck, ” replied Mr. Scanlon.
osu.32435018408914	“ Has it never occurred to you to ask? ” “ Once or twice, ” replied Scanlon.
osu.32435018408914	“ Have you lived in this country very long? ” he asked her, finally.
osu.32435018408914	“ He knows, or suspects about the girl, ” thought the big man, “ but what about these other people?
osu.32435018408914	“ He smiled, you say, and closed his eyes? ” “ And a couple of times he laughed, ” answered Scanlon.
osu.32435018408914	“ He was not injured? ” she asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ Hello, ” said Mr. Scanlon, “ who's this? ” With much industry, the stranger wrote in the little book; and never once did he lift his head.
osu.32435018408914	“ Hello, ” said Scanlon, in surprise; “ what's that? ” “ It's the gate, ” spoke Miss Hohenlo.
osu.32435018408914	“ How are you? ” cried Scanlon, shaking Campe by the hand.
osu.32435018408914	“ How could I — or anybody else, if it comes to that? ” demanded the ancient.
osu.32435018408914	“ How d'ye do? ” asked the old man.
osu.32435018408914	“ How do you do? ” said he.
osu.32435018408914	“ How do you know? ” “ I feel sure of it, ” was the whispered reply “ Do n't lose your nerve, ” said the man, swiftly.
osu.32435018408914	“ How many of them are in on this business of the packet? ” was Bat's mental query.
osu.32435018408914	“ How often is he SPECIAL DETECTIVE 167 seen?
osu.32435018408914	“ I have n’t taken a step without a firearm in readiness for months. ” “ And you, Scanlon? ” “ All right, ” replied the big man.
osu.32435018408914	“ I hurried away to find the person whom I'd been seeking when you saw me strike the match. ” “ Well, were you successful? ” “ I was.
osu.32435018408914	“ I was called in to help, was n't I?
osu.32435018408914	“ If one man came out of the vaults, why not more? ” he asked himself.
osu.32435018408914	“ In what? ” Ashton- Kirk smiled once more.
osu.32435018408914	“ Is n't he the thorough little ransacker, though? ” continued Mr. Scanlon, immediately interpreting these sounds.
osu.32435018408914	“ Is that all? ” asked the big man.
osu.32435018408914	“ Is this the only road that leads there?
osu.32435018408914	“ Just which of them do you mean? ” But Ashton- Kirk shook his head.
osu.32435018408914	“ No! ” “ You think a woman could n’t do it?
osu.32435018408914	“ Of what? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ Oh, dear, is n't it very lonely out there? ” she said.
osu.32435018408914	“ Paul I? ”| Once more came the creaking of hinges; another door had opened.
osu.32435018408914	“ Poor things; is n’t it dreadful?
osu.32435018408914	“ Saw him last night. ” “ That so? ” Bat was unmoved, smoking calmly.
osu.32435018408914	“ So they think the castle's a place of interest, do they? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ Stopping up at Schwartzberg, ai n't you? ” 44 Yes. ” “ Thought so.
osu.32435018408914	“ Suppose she has gone up there? ” said he.
osu.32435018408914	“ Telling you about him? ” said he.
osu.32435018408914	“ The mail now, does she do the same with that? ” “ Sometimes, ” replied the woman, “ when it is a package. ” “ Oh, ” said Scanlon.
osu.32435018408914	“ The man's still there, ai n’t he? ” he asked Campe.
osu.32435018408914	“ The sergeant- major's daughter? ” asked Ash- ton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	“ Things on top? ” “ A very big one, ” agreed the other.
osu.32435018408914	“ Too bad, is n’t it? ” remarked he.
osu.32435018408914	“ Well, ” said he, “ I wonder what's all that?
osu.32435018408914	“ Well? ” Said he.
osu.32435018408914	“ What could it have been taken for? ” Bat took his eyes from the place where the sword had hung, and they fixed themselves upon the speaker.
osu.32435018408914	“ What did it smash for?
osu.32435018408914	“ What do you know? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ What do you make of that sound we heard out on the hills to- night? ” Scanlon shook his head.
osu.32435018408914	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean just that — the worst!
osu.32435018408914	“ What followed?
osu.32435018408914	“ What for, do you sup- pose? ” “ To allow some one below to come up.
osu.32435018408914	“ What happened to that lamp in the vaults yesterday? ” he demanded of himself.
osu.32435018408914	“ What has happened? ” she asked, rather breathlessly.
osu.32435018408914	“ What is it? ” asked Bat, anxiously.
osu.32435018408914	“ What is it? ” asked the big man.
osu.32435018408914	“ What is it? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ What is the time? ” asked Alva in his strong voice.
osu.32435018408914	“ What is there about Campe's place? ” asked the crime specialist.
osu.32435018408914	“ What is there to walking quietly down a dark hall?
osu.32435018408914	“ What more? ” asked he.
osu.32435018408914	“ What now, I wonder? ” With the light foot and the stealthy manner, Bat had acquired the habit of suspicion.
osu.32435018408914	“ What should we have? ”- “ A drum! ” cried Bat.
osu.32435018408914	“ What's set you off on that? ” asked he.
osu.32435018408914	“ Whatever it develops — good l ” “ Are you armed? ” “ I always am — now, ” answered the young man, sadly.
osu.32435018408914	“ When it's a package, eh Never when it is anything else? ” “ No. ” Once more Mr. Scanlon considered.
osu.32435018408914	“ Where can it be? ” asked Miss Hohenlo.
osu.32435018408914	“ Who is it? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ Who is this? ” asked he, and his angry eyes were fixed upon Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	“ Who was it? ” asked Campe.
osu.32435018408914	“ Who ’s that? ” asked Scanlon.
osu.32435018408914	“ Who? ” said he.
osu.32435018408914	“ Why? ” “ Your nephew, ” said the big man, “ is a friend of mine.
osu.32435018408914	“ Wind from the northwest, eh? ” thought he.
osu.32435018408914	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” he asked.
osu.32435018408914	“ You live hereabouts, I suppose? ” “ For the time being, ” replied Bat, evenly.
osu.32435018408914	“ You never knew it, then? ” asked Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435018408914	“ You see how it is? ” said he.
pst.000005409174	'His name and address?' pst.000005409174 And that is?"
pst.000005409174	Are you always as eager for news as you are this morning, Lady Muriel?
pst.000005409174	Do n't you see? pst.000005409174 Do you keep a register of those that are called for or for- warded?"
pst.000005409174	For what?
pst.000005409174	How did Mr, Marske strike you? ” he went on, chatting just as if we were what we professed to be-two seaside idlers with nothing to do but gossip. pst.000005409174 Now I wonder how long the rascals will take to man the boat? ” he reflected aloud.
pst.000005409174	Put you ashore? ” he repeated, with a diabolical sneer. pst.000005409174 See here,"said Herzog, as he pushed me roughly down on to a seat;"you wish to save your neck, do n't you?
pst.000005409174	What is it?
pst.000005409174	Why should we sacrifice our comfort, when we see eye to eye in this matter? pst.000005409174 You have been told that I am Rivington, the es- caped convict? ” “ By my daughter, who told me a lot of other in- credible things."
pst.000005409174	114 MILLIONS OF MISCHIEF “ Then it is n't furnished?"
pst.000005409174	234 MILLIONS OF MISCHIEF truth which I myself had learned — but where else could I look for help?
pst.000005409174	26 MILLIONS OF MISCHIEF Could I, in a fortnight, and with the basilisk eye of my unfathomable liberator on me, run this unknown Roger to ground?
pst.000005409174	Am I to have it in here?"
pst.000005409174	And he added, with a sud- den gust of impatience: “ What do I know or care about these Chilmarks?"
pst.000005409174	And how was I to gain speech of her, with the lynx eyes of my custodian ever on me?
pst.000005409174	And my own case?
pst.000005409174	And what mischief had he been wreaking since he had arranged with Belcher for my reception after his pretended flight from Marske Hall?
pst.000005409174	And, apart from his having overheard any- thing, what connecting link could there have been in Herzog's mind between Marske and myself?
pst.000005409174	And, if so, had he so far escaped the still graver peril of being identified as the fugitive from Winchester Jail?
pst.000005409174	But how was I to free myself, and in such manner that in gaining freedom I gained also a sight of my enemy?
pst.000005409174	But will you not reconsider your decision not to sleep here?
pst.000005409174	But you have not told me what sort of a fellow Rivington was at Wool- wich?"
pst.000005409174	By observing it, or by having ascertained that there was a reason why Marske should fear me?
pst.000005409174	CHAPTER II A TERRIBLE TASK HO are you, then, and why have you risked Wimprisonment in aiding such a desperate wretch?"
pst.000005409174	Could it be that he resented my having brought such an unsavory business so close to his own domain?
pst.000005409174	Do something for me?
pst.000005409174	Does it also include a knowledge of the guilty? ” He paused and looked at me, but I made no sign as yet.
pst.000005409174	Had he seen us- or, rather, me?
pst.000005409174	Had he succeeded in prolonging his deception of that mysterious Herzog that he was a willing instrument against Lord Alphington?
pst.000005409174	Had n't you better continue it?"
pst.000005409174	He spoke rapidly and with intense earnestness, but how could I judge of the value to me of his excite- ment?
pst.000005409174	Hope that, guiltless though I was of previous crime, I should fulfil the dreadful mission for which I had been released rather than be hanged?
pst.000005409174	How long might you be going to bide in it?"
pst.000005409174	How long should I be able to sustain that belief?
pst.000005409174	How would Sir Gideon take it?
pst.000005409174	I am par- doned, or at least reprieved? ” I cried.
pst.000005409174	I hope you slept well, miss?"
pst.000005409174	I winced inwardly from the loathsome charge, but braced myself to answer callously, “ What of that?
pst.000005409174	If I could keep up this rate of arithmetical progression, where should I be at the end of Herzog's fortnight?
pst.000005409174	If it will 44 MILLIONS OF MISCHIEF>> make you easier about me, why should n't we both occupy the same bed in there?
pst.000005409174	If the waver of the lantern elected to come on board as a passenger, who would he prove to be?
pst.000005409174	Is he really likely to produce Miss Chilmark, and any proofs she may have discovered, if he is lucky enough to discover her?"
pst.000005409174	Is it not so? ” he said.
pst.000005409174	Is there- have you no place where we can converse- “ On the strict q. t.?
pst.000005409174	It is n't a fairy tale, is it, Sir Gideon?"
pst.000005409174	Marske was always clever, and he has taken the best way out. ” “ What is it, father? ” said Lady Muriel.
pst.000005409174	New life did I say?
pst.000005409174	No, why should there be? ” I returned, with what carelessness I could command.
pst.000005409174	Now you've done singing you'll be wanting some breakfast, eh? ” came the husky tones of Captain Belcher's voice.
pst.000005409174	Speculating gloomily on my lack of funds, I put the question to Herzog: — “ How am I to get away after I have settled Alphington?
pst.000005409174	Take time by the forelock, eh? ” “ You must, of course, do as you like,"I replied.
pst.000005409174	That theory unquestionably was that Marske sus- pected my identity, but how had Herzog detected the suspicion?
pst.000005409174	That would be handy for Harrow, would it not?'
pst.000005409174	The convict's name?"
pst.000005409174	There ai n't no mistake, is there?
pst.000005409174	Waiting for what?
pst.000005409174	Was I, I wondered, playing the outcast, truculent villain to the life, or only bungling my part, to the secret amusement of this close ob- server?
pst.000005409174	Was it not natural that I should regard his overtures as rank treachery, designed to enmesh me further in the toils of the Marskes?
pst.000005409174	Was my unseen captor going away without a word, leaving me with the alternatives whether to starve or drown?
pst.000005409174	We will take the trip in her to that gay watering- place, and be as frivolous as we can, unless"“ Unless what?"
pst.000005409174	Well, your behavior led me to think that you had forgotten that part of your anatomy. ” “ Why?"
pst.000005409174	Well,"he added, turning his mocking gaze on me, “ why do n't you kill me now?
pst.000005409174	What am I to do with it?"
pst.000005409174	What could his object he but to thwart her by any means in his power?
pst.000005409174	What is best to be done?
pst.000005409174	Whether I succeeded in that or not, the hint was DEATH- WARRANT- OR WORSE?
pst.000005409174	Who Who is in charge of your mother's cottage in the New Forest?"
pst.000005409174	Who is that?"
pst.000005409174	Why might Mr. Danvers Crane have sent you to me?
pst.000005409174	Why should he have acted on such sudden impulse?
pst.000005409174	Would it?
pst.000005409174	Would my love recognize me under my disguise, and, if so, would she have the self- control to conceal it?
pst.000005409174	XXIV SIR GIDEON's BARGAIN XXV THE FACE AT THE GANGWAY XXVI"SEALED ORDERS"XXVII OPENING THE ENVELOPE XXVIII DEATH- WARRANT- OR WORSE?
pst.000005409174	You can understand that it would not be convenient to my principals to have you caught. ” “ The thing has to be done at once?"
pst.000005409174	You will never get a better chance? ” “ I never intended to kill you, my lord,"I began hotly.
pst.000005409174	You wish to prefer a charge of assault? ” he inquired sharply, taking up a pen and drawing paper toward him.
pst.000005409174	were you trying to put the noose round your neck?
pst.000005409174	what am I talking of? ” he checked him- self.
pst.000005409174	“ Am I to address you as Mr. Martin or Captain Rivington?"
pst.000005409174	“ And where did the chase end? ” he went on.
pst.000005409174	“ Are you quite sure that you have not done so already? ” he jerked out sharply.
pst.000005409174	“ Arthur, ” she whispered,"what if the man's name sounded like that — not mask, but m- a- r- s- k- e?
pst.000005409174	“ But if the fellow is going to be hanged how could he serve our- I mean the turn of the country? ” haz- arded Lord Trevose after a pause.
pst.000005409174	“ But what about the atropine business, at which I checkmated you the other night? ” I asked.
pst.000005409174	“ By what boat is Lord Alphington expected? ” I asked.
pst.000005409174	“ Can you describe him?"
pst.000005409174	“ Carden was on the point of denouncing you, was he not?
pst.000005409174	“ Does your de- scription tally with that of a man who would kill his mother and sister for gain?
pst.000005409174	“ From Miss Chilmark? ” Herzog purred softly.
pst.000005409174	“ Have you done with your newspaper yet?
pst.000005409174	“ He seemed a strong man, but can you be sure that he is running straight in your in- terests?
pst.000005409174	“ How are you, sir?"
pst.000005409174	“ How do you do, Mrs. Krance?
pst.000005409174	“ How was it worked? ” he said in response to my mute inquiry.
pst.000005409174	“ I presume that the Colonel thinks that the first telegram was a bogus one, sent by some miscreant in Miss Chilmark's name? ” he said.
pst.000005409174	“ In any case I shall run over by the first boat to- morrow and explore “ The Glen,'is it not called?
pst.000005409174	“ Is it all right- in good working order? ” I asked, feeling constrained to say something.
pst.000005409174	“ May I see?"
pst.000005409174	“ No offense, mister, I hope? ” he persisted, with the same evil leer.
pst.000005409174	“ Of murdering, and of attempting to murder whom, do you accuse- this person? ” he inquired presently, in a tone that sounded unpromising.
pst.000005409174	“ Our rooms are ready, I pre- sume?"
pst.000005409174	“ Shall it be here, or shall we step into the garden? ” “ Here, by all means.
pst.000005409174	“ She is a passenger steamer then?"
pst.000005409174	“ Then Roger Marske was at your point of departure on departure on this extraordinary errand? ” he asked.
pst.000005409174	“ Was Colonel Chilmark expecting his daughter? ” I asked with what carelessness I could command.
pst.000005409174	“ Well, Sanders, what is it?"
pst.000005409174	“ Well, why are you fellows crowding me out of my own house? ” he asked, in cheery accents that seemed like the dawn of a new day.
pst.000005409174	“ What did you think, and what do you mean by laying your hand on me?"
pst.000005409174	“ What do you propose? ” I asked.
pst.000005409174	“ What is this nonsense about an escaped mur- derer? ” he asked quietly.
pst.000005409174	“ What should make you think I had such morbid interests, Mr. Marske? ” He laughed harshly.
pst.000005409174	“ What the devil has that to do with you?"
pst.000005409174	“ What the h- are you la- di- das doing aboard my ship? ” he yelled.
pst.000005409174	“ What was that you were saying, Marske?
pst.000005409174	“ What would happen if we do not attempt to land?"
pst.000005409174	“ What's up?"
pst.000005409174	“ What's your motive?'
pst.000005409174	“ Where did this strenuous villain, as you describe him, lie in wait for you?"
pst.000005409174	“ Who is it?"
pst.000005409174	“ Who is this gentleman?
pst.000005409174	“ Who'll be following you- a gentleman or a lady?"
pst.000005409174	“ Why did you select'Springthorpe,'at Totland, to stay at? ” he asked.
pst.000005409174	“ Why do you keep harping on that?"
pst.000005409174	“ Why, what is it?
pst.000005409174	“ Why? ” I asked, not comprehending his mood.
pst.000005409174	“ Will you not open to me for a moment?
pst.000005409174	“ Wondering whether you could swim the distance, Miss Chilmark? ” said a low voice at my ear.
pst.000005409174	“ Would it serve any useful purpose? ” he said.
pst.000005409174	“ You are the young woman from the post- office, and have a telegram for me, eh? ” he inquired as he stepped from the grass onto the gravel.
pst.000005409174	“ You heard him go out? ” I said, taking up my station behind the curtain.
pst.000005409174	“ You were frightened of me?"
pst.000005409174	“ You're wondering what's in the sealed orders, eh? ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	- “ Did he get away? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	- “ Now what could he have meant by that? ” I asked myself.
osu.32435017603838	128 MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE “ Who can they be? ” I demanded, after describ- ing them to Garth.
osu.32435017603838	178 MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE “ Before eight? ” I repeated to myself as I locked the window.
osu.32435017603838	22 MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE “ Sure of it? ” I repeated blankly.
osu.32435017603838	4O MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE “ Sure you were n't dreaming?
osu.32435017603838	And if not, what had happened to him?
osu.32435017603838	And so Nora has gone, has she? ” I went on hastily.
osu.32435017603838	And you think Dent took it? ” She hesitated before answering me.
osu.32435017603838	Are n't you sorry? ” She made no reply.
osu.32435017603838	At any rate he has n’t moved since. ” “ How did it happen? ” Garth asked quietly.
osu.32435017603838	Besides, you do n’t want everyone to think you're my daughter, do you?
osu.32435017603838	But supposing this to be so, what could have been her object in taking them away with her?
osu.32435017603838	Could it have been because she feared we might find there a clue to the murderer?
osu.32435017603838	Did he know who the man was?
osu.32435017603838	Did they steal any- thing? ” Garth told him briefly what had happened.
osu.32435017603838	Do n't you see that was just why he gave you the papers, so Ryder could n't prove anything against him?
osu.32435017603838	Do you want to bring disgrace upon it, and upon yourself, too?
osu.32435017603838	Does that satisfy you? ” “ No, ” I said disappointedly, “ it does n't.
osu.32435017603838	First David Mears is murdered; then Mr. Scarsden is nearly killed by a burglar; and now to- night the house is entered again — ”?
osu.32435017603838	Had he returned?
osu.32435017603838	Had her intended interview with the writer of the mysterious letter been for the purpose of shielding in any way someone she suspected of the crime?
osu.32435017603838	Had it anything to do with David Mears, I wondered?
osu.32435017603838	Had they been lured here and murdered?
osu.32435017603838	Have n't I told you before it'll be the worse for you, if you do?
osu.32435017603838	Have you any idea who killed him, what the motive could have been, and why? ” “ Hold on l ’ ’ he protested.
osu.32435017603838	He ought to have been back eight hours ago. ” “ And when did Keaton expect to return? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	He said he had to go to Rockford on an errand for Mr. Mears. ” “ And you refused? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435017603838	He should have remem- bered the old adage about the pitcher that goes too often to the well. ” “ Is he dead? ” I said.
osu.32435017603838	He thinks someone ran off with her, you know, and of course he wo n't give up searching for her until??
osu.32435017603838	He thinks someone ran off with her, you know, and of course he wo n't give up searching for her until??
osu.32435017603838	He would n't have been very likely, it seems to me, to have run off before he finished the job. ” “ Finished the job?
osu.32435017603838	I ca n't tell you what they are now, but if you will come to see me in the morning??
osu.32435017603838	I ca n't tell you what they are now, but if you will come to see me in the morning??
osu.32435017603838	I ca n't. ” “ Go ahead, ” I said, sitting down on a hummock??
osu.32435017603838	I ca n't. ” “ Go ahead, ” I said, sitting down on a hummock??
osu.32435017603838	I fol- lowed her. ” “ Were n't you afraid of being seen? ” I said.
osu.32435017603838	I hope you do n’t mind if I smoke while we're wait- ing? ” “ Not in the least, ” she replied coldly.
osu.32435017603838	I imagine, though, that the photograph you lost was not of that description? ” “ It was a picture of my father, ” she replied.
osu.32435017603838	I just stood still and waited to see if he would get in or not. ” “ And when he did get in? ” she asked eagerly.
osu.32435017603838	I might have knowed I ’d go to sleep — what with the warm fire, and the cup o'tea I'd had — ” “ Who gave you the tea? ” I interrupted.
osu.32435017603838	I sprang up and fired the same instant he did. ” “ Why did n't you shoot him from your chair? ” Garth asked.
osu.32435017603838	I thought, perhaps, you might have seen or heard something 95 “ With my eyes blindfolded, and deaf as I am? ” he interrupted sneeringly.
osu.32435017603838	I was strongly tempted to cry out, “ Who ’s there? ” but caution kept me quiet.

osu.32435017603838	If I had n't a man of my own to look after me, I'd have starved to death by this time. ” “ Where is he? ” I enquired.
osu.32435017603838	If that were the case, might he not have entrusted her with certain valuable documents, fearing that an attempt might be made to rob him of them?
osu.32435017603838	Is anything the matter? ” I stared at her, too dumfounded to speak.
osu.32435017603838	It was hardly in the nature of an invitation. ”- “ I suppose Arthur has told you everything about the affair? ” I went on.
osu.32435017603838	It would n’t surprise me in the least. ” “ You asked her, I suppose, what she was doing? ” “ She did n't give me a chance.
osu.32435017603838	Keaton and Mr. Scarsden, I suppose? ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	Or might she not have taken them from his desk after it had been broken open by the man in the grey felt hat?
osu.32435017603838	Randall never left the house that day — ” “ How do you know he did n't? ” I broke in.
osu.32435017603838	She's been with him a long while, has n't she? ” “ Yes, ” he said, “ but you might as well try to get information out of a post.
osu.32435017603838	Sit down and stay a while, wo n't you?
osu.32435017603838	The point is — which one? ” “ If I'm not mistaken, his name is James H. Ryder, ” replied Jonathan Mears quietly.
osu.32435017603838	Underneath that wax- like covering what might not be hidden — perhaps the name and address of the murderer neatly engraved?
osu.32435017603838	Was he rather short and thin with a pasty face, reddish hair, an ugly drooping mouth, and rab- bit- coloured eyes? ” He shook his head.
osu.32435017603838	Was she not afraid of what we might find?—afraid that we might unearth some terrible secret which he had con- fided to her?
osu.32435017603838	What busi- ness was it of mine anyway?
osu.32435017603838	What could Garth be thinking of, I wondered, to tell things to a servant which he did n't want me to know?
osu.32435017603838	What could it mean?
osu.32435017603838	What did you want to call her a liar for?
osu.32435017603838	What do you mean by that? ” “ Someone must have thrown the body over the cliff, you know. ” My face fell.
osu.32435017603838	What do you think? ” He took the moustache out of his pocket and tossed it over to me.
osu.32435017603838	What good could it do to blacken his memory in the mind of the one being who had loved and admired him?
osu.32435017603838	What had become of him?
osu.32435017603838	What harm could it do the dead man?
osu.32435017603838	What has become of him? ” A slight noise made me whirl quickly about.
osu.32435017603838	What have you been doing? ” “ I ’ll tell you about it to- morrow, ” he replied, yawning.
osu.32435017603838	What object could he have had 3?
osu.32435017603838	What the devil's the matter with you anyhow? ” “ I ’ll be hanged if I know, ” he replied.
osu.32435017603838	What was the meaning of all these tragic happenings?
osu.32435017603838	What'd he say when he read the tele- gram? ” “ ‘ If a man's born to be hanged, you ca n’t drown him,'” Arthur answered.
osu.32435017603838	What? ” I said.
osu.32435017603838	Where has he gone?
osu.32435017603838	Which of us would be their next victim?
osu.32435017603838	Who discovered'em?

osu.32435017603838	Who was it?
osu.32435017603838	Who were these unknown enemies of ours?
osu.32435017603838	Why had he not the courage and good sense to refuse her wish?
osu.32435017603838	Why on earth should he go to all the bother of dragging him in there?
osu.32435017603838	Why should he make such a mystery of the affair?
osu.32435017603838	Why, then, should I put myself out to find his murderer and avenge his death?
osu.32435017603838	Would you mind seeing? ” Arthur went to look for it.
osu.32435017603838	You do n't think I dreamed it all, do you? ” “ He has fainting spells once in a while, ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	You have n't destroyed the will? ” He shook his head.
osu.32435017603838	You say you have n't any idea what it contained? ” “ Not the slightest. ” I asked her if anyone had had a chance to open the envelope.
osu.32435017603838	You'll attend to settling up the estate for her? ” he added.
osu.32435017603838	You'll come with us, I sup- pose? ” “ Will Il"he exclaimed.

osu.32435017603838	or even before that?
osu.32435017603838	or the gold filling from one of his front teeth?
osu.32435017603838	‘ Got'em with you?'
osu.32435017603838	‘ Have you no re- gard for Mr. Mears'good name?
osu.32435017603838	“ And you do n't remember anything more after that, I suppose? ” “ No, sir, ” he admitted shamefacedly.
osu.32435017603838	“ And you still think it was written by the man who robbed me just now? ” she asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ And you were going to join Arthur and Mr. Garth, were n't you? ” I said nothing.
osu.32435017603838	“ And your third reason? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Any special reason for her sud- den departure? ” “ She called me a meddling old fool, ” Mrs. Bart- lett replied stiffly.
osu.32435017603838	“ Are you hurt? ” She did not answer me.
osu.32435017603838	“ Are you sure no one has come in the front way since dinner? ” 192 MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE “ Quite sure, ” she said.
osu.32435017603838	“ Blood? ” he exclaimed.
osu.32435017603838	“ But what has she done with her? ” I demanded.
osu.32435017603838	“ But what made you think I was there? ” she said.
osu.32435017603838	“ But what was he doing there? ” she persisted.
osu.32435017603838	“ But what's become of Margaret? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ But why —? ” “ I do n't know why, ” he rejoined.
osu.32435017603838	“ By the way, ” I said a moment later, “ is n't it about time Ryder was back?
osu.32435017603838	“ Can you suggest anything? ” he asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Did I hit him? ” They looked doubtfully at one another.
osu.32435017603838	“ Did Mrs. Bartlett tell you? ” she asked me.
osu.32435017603838	“ Did anything happen be- fore that? ” “ I had a bit of a row with Mr. Randall, sir.
osu.32435017603838	“ Did you ever hear anything like it? ” “ Never, ” I admitted.
osu.32435017603838	“ Did you find out if he wrote me that letter? ” she asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Do n’t you remember? ” I shook my head.
osu.32435017603838	“ Do n’t you think you've kept Mr. Ryder waiting about long enough? ” he enquired.
osu.32435017603838	“ Do you think there's any chance of a burglar having killed him? ” “ I hope to find out within the next hour, ” he re- plied.
osu.32435017603838	“ Eh? ” he snapped, leaning forward a trifle in his chair and frowning at me.
osu.32435017603838	“ Feel- ing sick? ” “ It's nothing, ” he said hastily, struggling to con- trol himself.
osu.32435017603838	“ Feeling better, eh? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Feeling better? ” Arthur asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Got your revolver? ” he asked me.
osu.32435017603838	“ Has Dent been here? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Has Mr. Keaton returned? ” I asked her.
osu.32435017603838	“ Have n't I just told you that I feel practically sure he did n't kill him? ” “ See here, Garth — ” I began angrily.
osu.32435017603838	“ Have n't you heard what I've been saying? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017603838	“ He came here to the house? ” I asked incredu- lously.
osu.32435017603838	“ He never went back to New York at all, then? ” “ No, that's what I meant when I told you that tele- gram was only a blind.
osu.32435017603838	“ He seemed like such a nice old man, too.—What did you say? ” “ Nothing, ” I rejoined hastily.
osu.32435017603838	“ He was to meet you here at eight? ” she asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ He ’d better come indoors and see if he can find any traces of the murderer there, eh, Arthur? ” I went on.
osu.32435017603838	“ He ’s gone anyway. ” “ But I do n’t see??
osu.32435017603838	“ He ’s gone anyway. ” “ But I do n’t see??
osu.32435017603838	“ How about that blood stain I found on the can- dlestick? ” I said.
osu.32435017603838	“ How did you find that out? ” I cried.
osu.32435017603838	“ How do you know it ai n't? ” she snapped.
osu.32435017603838	“ How do you know that? ” “ Easy as rolling off a log.
osu.32435017603838	“ How many times must I tell you that he was dead, stone dead when I saw him?
osu.32435017603838	“ How should I know? ” I replied lightly.
osu.32435017603838	“ How'd they get in?
osu.32435017603838	“ Hurting you much? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ I asked you, ” Margaret continued, “ because I missed something from my room when I returned. ” “ Indeed?
osu.32435017603838	“ I ca n't tell you that now. ” “ Have you any idea, ” I persisted, “ who the fellow is?
osu.32435017603838	“ I deserved what I got for trying it. ” “ You have n't any idea who he was, I suppose? ” he asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ I did my best to prevent her going. ” “ Indeed? ” she remarked drily.
osu.32435017603838	“ I do n't care to be an object of charity, if you can call it that. ” “ Could you fill the rôle of butler, do you think? ” Garth asked him.
osu.32435017603838	“ I merely said that I expected him to pay us another visit. ” “ Of a purely social character, I suppose?
osu.32435017603838	“ I suppose it was because she did n’t want me to know that Margaret had gone out? ” “ Partly that, ” he agreed.
osu.32435017603838	“ I swear??
osu.32435017603838	“ I swear??

osu.32435017603838	“ I ’d like to question her. ”- “ What do you make of it? ” I asked him when Arthur had gone.
osu.32435017603838	“ I ’m convinced, ” I added, ‘ that you were intending to meet someone who knew him. ’ “ How do you know that?'
osu.32435017603838	“ I ’m precious near it, though, ” I said gravely, “ and you've probably heard of Dr. Osler's famous prescription?
osu.32435017603838	“ If it had n't been for you??
osu.32435017603838	“ If it had n't been for you??
osu.32435017603838	“ If we only knew what was in that letter? ” I kept telling myself.
osu.32435017603838	“ If what? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ If you'll promise to tell me the instant you get the least bit tired? ” “ Honour bright, ” she replied, smiling.
osu.32435017603838	“ Is anything the matter? ” I asked stiffly.
osu.32435017603838	“ It looks very much as if I were right, eh? ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	“ It was n't your fault, I know??
osu.32435017603838	“ It was n't your fault, I know??
osu.32435017603838	“ More so than girls? ” I said.
osu.32435017603838	“ No, we did n't. ” “ You were n't at all surprised, then, to find no clothing or personal belongings of any sort there? ” “ By Jove!
osu.32435017603838	“ Perhaps not, on the whole, ” she admitted, “ but in such different ways. ” “ For example? ” I said.
osu.32435017603838	“ Perhaps you can tell me also if I shall find Mr. David Mears there? ” I stared at him stupidly without replying.
osu.32435017603838	“ So help me God! ” “ And you left him lying there? ” Garth asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ So you ’ve been keeping tabs on her actions, too, have you? ” “ That's about all I have been doing, ” he rejoined.
osu.32435017603838	“ Speak up, ca n't you?
osu.32435017603838	“ Still comparing me with Baron Munchausen? ” Garth enquired pleasantly.
osu.32435017603838	“ Stimpson told me. ” “ And where was Stimpson all the time? ” “ Right here, keeping tabs on them for me, ” he answered.
osu.32435017603838	“ Suppose we say some time between ten and eleven, then? ”.
osu.32435017603838	“ Suppose we try to find out? ” “ How? ” I asked; but before he could reply, Arthur flung open the door.
osu.32435017603838	“ Suppose we try to find out? ” “ How? ” I asked; but before he could reply, Arthur flung open the door.
osu.32435017603838	“ Sure about that? ” I asked, wondering why we had n't noticed it.
osu.32435017603838	“ That explains it! ” “ Explains what? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ That explains it. ” “ Explains what? ” asked Arthur, who had en- tered the room without my hearing him.
osu.32435017603838	“ That sociologist friend of yours? ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	“ The man he was afraid of, you mean? ” “ There may have been more than one of them, ” I replied soberly.
osu.32435017603838	“ Then Mrs. Bartlett is responsible for her dis- appearance? ” “ I feel sure of it, ” he answered.
osu.32435017603838	“ Then how –? ” “ Dent knows, ” I broke in; “ but he had instruc- tions not to tell anyone. ” “ It's very strange, ” she said.
osu.32435017603838	“ Then you knew all along what Mrs. Bartlett told us about her? ” He nodded.
osu.32435017603838	“ There was something else in the shack, then, when you and Arthur arrived?
osu.32435017603838	“ They were after that sealed envelope. ” “ What was in it? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ They're certainly clear enough. ” “ Ever read Conan Doyle's stories? ” he asked ne.
osu.32435017603838	“ Two- legged ones? ” I nodded.
osu.32435017603838	“ Was she dressed suitably for a journey? ” he enquired.
osu.32435017603838	“ Was she sand- bagged, or half strangled, or what? ” “ I do n’t believe she was much hurt, ” he replied.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well, what luck? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well, why do n't you answer? ” I exclaimed peev- ishly.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well, ” Garth repeated, “ are you going to tell me, or not? ” “ I reck'n I might as well, ” muttered Parsons.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well, ” he said sharply, “ who are you and what do you want? ” “ I want your help, ” I replied.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well? ” she demanded in the tone of one who bids you say your prayers before taking revenge upon you for some mortal injury.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well? ” she repeated.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well? ” she said again, and I thought I detected a growing impatience in her voice.
osu.32435017603838	“ Well”—it was Margaret, not Mrs. Bartlett, who spoke—“what did you do? ” “ Nothing.
osu.32435017603838	“ What 158 MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE possible objection can you have to it?
osu.32435017603838	“ What are you doing? ” she demanded hurriedly.
osu.32435017603838	“ What are you going to do with him? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ What can Keaton be doing all this time? ” I enquired.
osu.32435017603838	“ What can it mean? ” I asked myself.
osu.32435017603838	“ What can ‘ Three black cats on a red- hot stove'mean? ” “ Trouble, ” she replied promptly.
osu.32435017603838	“ What could he have meant? ” “ That's precisely what I ’ve been asking myself, ” I replied.
osu.32435017603838	“ What did he mean by that? ” I had said nothing to him of Garth's instructions to me in case he and Arthur should not have got back by then.
osu.32435017603838	“ What dirty game have you been playing with me? ’ “ Never mind about that, I said.
osu.32435017603838	“ What do you MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE I5 take me for, a thief or a murderer?
osu.32435017603838	“ What do you mean? ” “ Just what I said, ” Arthur replied.
osu.32435017603838	“ What happened to her anyway? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ What happened? ” she asked faintly.
osu.32435017603838	“ What in thunder have you been up to? ” he de- manded.
osu.32435017603838	“ What is it? ” he said as soon as Margaret had left.
osu.32435017603838	“ What is it? ” she asked anxiously.
osu.32435017603838	“ What right have you to touch his things? ” “ If you will sit down — ” Arthur began.
osu.32435017603838	“ What sort of an envelope? ” he asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ What was in it? ” I asked him eagerly.
osu.32435017603838	“ What was it? ” “ I merely wanted to make sure that I was right. ” “ Right about what? ” I asked impatiently.
osu.32435017603838	“ What was it? ” “ I merely wanted to make sure that I was right. ” “ Right about what? ” I asked impatiently.
osu.32435017603838	“ What's all the row about? ” I enquired.
osu.32435017603838	“ What's the matter with you? ” I cried.
osu.32435017603838	“ What's the matter?
osu.32435017603838	“ What's the matter? ” I cried.
osu.32435017603838	“ What's your hurry? ” he asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ When did Mr. Garth give you this note? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Where are they? ” I asked.

osu.32435017603838	“ Where did you get those? ” he asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Where have you met her before? ” I asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Where on earth has she been all the time? ” Arthur frowned slightly.
osu.32435017603838	“ Where's your sense of humour? ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	“ Who could it have been? ” she persisted.—“Not that old fisherman, surely? ” “ It must have been, ” I replied.

osu.32435017603838	“ Why should he come snooping round like that?
osu.32435017603838	“ Why the devil did n't you speak? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017603838	“ Why would n't you bid me good- night? ” I re- peated.
osu.32435017603838	“ Why, what do you mean?
osu.32435017603838	“ Will you drive back here, sir, ” he whispered, “ as soon as you've left the young lady? ” I nodded to him and gathered up the reins.
osu.32435017603838	“ Would you mind reading what there is on it? ” he asked.
osu.32435017603838	“ Would you mind telling me, ” I asked, “ why you do n't want him to know? ” “ I ca n't tell you that, ” she said.
osu.32435017603838	“ You did n’t find him? ” MIDNIGHT AT MEARS HOUSE I93 I shook my head.
osu.32435017603838	“ You did? ” I exclaimed.
osu.32435017603838	“ You do n't mean to tell me you did n't discover that anything was missing? ” he said.
osu.32435017603838	“ You do, eh? ” he growled.
osu.32435017603838	“ You find it hard to believe? ” he asked in an amused tone.
osu.32435017603838	“ You have put your foot in it, have n't you?
osu.32435017603838	“ You know who it was, then, that wrote to me? ” — There was a strange mingling of incredulity and dread in her voice.
osu.32435017603838	“ You mean he's coming back to steal something else? ” “ I did n't say so, ” he replied.
osu.32435017603838	“ You think that? ” “ It makes no difference what I think, ” said Garth curtly.
osu.32435017603838	“ You ’re anxious, I suppose, that Miss Ellis should be found? ” he asked quietly.
osu.32435017603838	“ You ’re sure, are you, ” Garth said to the maid, “ that you ’ve told us everything? ” Again she seemed to hesitate.

osu.32435009413329	Are you sure?"
osu.32435009413329	At last I discovered he had taken a back seat, through modesty perhaps, or to be out of observation- how was I to know?

osu.32435009413329	Do you know that language, M. le Juge?"
osu.32435009413329	Do you mean the Countess of that name, who was a passenger in the sleeper? ” Beyond doubt!

osu.32435009413329	I believe that she holds the key to the situation, that when we hear her story we shall have a clear case against Quadling; and — who knows?
osu.32435009413329	I do not see my way quite, as yet. ” “ But the fragment of lace, the broken beading?

osu.32435009413329	I should like that explained, please. ” By me?
osu.32435009413329	I spoke to her myself. ” “ What can have become of her? ” said the Judge.

osu.32435009413329	If so, of what?
osu.32435009413329	If so, why wait to speak till now? ” said the detective, receiving th advance rather coldly.

osu.32435009413329	In what direction do you propose to begin?
osu.32435009413329	Is it not strongly, conclusively incriminating?"
osu.32435009413329	Is it so?
osu.32435009413329	Is she here, in custody?

osu.32435009413329	My name is Hortense Petitpré; who are you?
osu.32435009413329	No, the Italian was her chief companion. ” Did any one else notice the flirtation, do you think?"
osu.32435009413329	No?
osu.32435009413329	No?
osu.32435009413329	Nothing, I can swear to that, and you will not forget Mother Tontaine? ” Now M. Floçon stood at the open door awaiting the searcher's report.

osu.32435009413329	You are not a good sleeper, I believe, madame? ” “ Indeed no, I sleep badly, as a rule. ” “ Then you would be easily disturbed.
osu.32435009413329	You call yourself General Collingham?
osu.32435009413329	You do not ex- pect it, surely?
osu.32435009413329	You do not object to that? ” “ I much prefer it — much.
osu.32435009413329	You do not — will not think any worse of me?"
osu.32435009413329	You had never met him pre- viously in Rome, where you resided?
osu.32435009413329	You know that?
osu.32435009413329	You quite understand that, my man? ” Block made a gesture half- deprecating, half- confident.
osu.32435009413329	You will admit that I have a right to ask?"
osu.32435009413329	and when was that?"
osu.32435009413329	from what?
osu.32435009413329	how can I tell?
osu.32435009413329	how shall I tell you?
osu.32435009413329	how? ” asked the Chief, gruffly, but obviously much interested.
osu.32435009413329	let us get out of this, in Heaven's name! ” “ Where's my man? ” quickly asked Colo- nel Papillon in response to this appeal.
osu.32435009413329	now I understand. ” “ You had heard of it, then?
osu.32435009413329	saw her?"
osu.32435009413329	that?"
osu.32435009413329	the missing maid!?
osu.32435009413329	you would shadow her?"
osu.32435009413329	« To share his fallen fortunes?"
osu.32435009413329	· Escaped how?
osu.32435009413329	»"Who else? ” No, not that I am aware of.
osu.32435009413329	“ After your strong and well- grounded suspicions? ” They are as strong as ever, stronger; and I feel sure I shall yet justify them.
osu.32435009413329	“ Ah, indeed, in 7 and 8?
osu.32435009413329	“ All these are possibilities, of course, but — pardon me, dear colleague a little far- fetched, eh? ” said the Judge.
osu.32435009413329	“ Alone?
osu.32435009413329	“ And did she encourage him?"
osu.32435009413329	“ And he did not do so?
osu.32435009413329	“ And how so, pray?
osu.32435009413329	“ And now-- of all times- may I say one word more? ” he whispered in her ear.
osu.32435009413329	“ And that, of course, would have justified his arrest?"
osu.32435009413329	“ And they were friendly? ” “ More than friendly, I should say.
osu.32435009413329	“ And this, my princess?
osu.32435009413329	“ And what do you deduce from all this?
osu.32435009413329	“ And you still have an impression that some one presumably this woman- got off the car, somehow, during the stoppage?
osu.32435009413329	“ And you, gentlemen? ” said the Judge to Sir Charles and Colonel Papillon.
osu.32435009413329	“ And you, ” he went on, addressing M. Flocon, “ dear colleague, will you see to their execution?
osu.32435009413329	“ Are you sure of him?
osu.32435009413329	“ At any rate he was absconding from Rome, with valuables. ” “ A thief, in fact?"
osu.32435009413329	“ At whose instance was the train pulled up? ” asked the detective, and the Judge nodded his head approvingly.
osu.32435009413329	“ Block?
osu.32435009413329	“ But if it was this Hortense Petitpré how did she get there, by the bridge Henri Quatre, when we thought to find her somewhere down the line?
osu.32435009413329	“ But if these could be proved to be hers?
osu.32435009413329	“ But what can have become of her?"
osu.32435009413329	“ But you knew him?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Ca n't you see she is not equal to it? ” cried the General, hotly.
osu.32435009413329	“ Come, what have you to say?
osu.32435009413329	“ Confederates?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Did you know all her friends? ” IOO THE ROME EXPRESS “ How can I answer that?
osu.32435009413329	“ Did you know all her friends? ” IOO THE ROME EXPRESS “ How can I answer that?
osu.32435009413329	“ Did you speak to her? ” “ Oh, no.
osu.32435009413329	“ Do you draw any conclusion from it? ” he went on to ask the General.
osu.32435009413329	“ Do you imply that the maid might be of use in this inquiry?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Do you lay great store by this evidence?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Five — make it five at once, d'ye hear me?
osu.32435009413329	“ For her service, I presume? ” “ Well, yes, monsieur, when I would per- mit it.
osu.32435009413329	“ Have n't you heard?
osu.32435009413329	“ Have you never heard of the Roman bankers, Correse& Quadling? ” “ Ah, of course.
osu.32435009413329	“ He has just returned. ” “ Returned?
osu.32435009413329	“ How could I?
osu.32435009413329	“ How do we know he has told us truth?
osu.32435009413329	“ How do we know the woman examined thoroughly? ” he replied.
osu.32435009413329	“ How often must I tell you to get on? ” “ Forgive me, monsieur, but it is all part of my story.
osu.32435009413329	“ I can not, monsieur, not in the least. ” “ Perchance you sent her on to your hotel to warn your friends that you were detained?
osu.32435009413329	“ I?
osu.32435009413329	“ In the car? ” “ No, not in the car.
osu.32435009413329	“ Is it not natural that we should?
osu.32435009413329	“ It was vacant all through the run. ” And the last compartment, for four?'
osu.32435009413329	“ May I offer one? ” He handed round the box affably.
osu.32435009413329	“ May I say one word?
osu.32435009413329	“ Not at the Countess's?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Pardon me, M. le Juge, but do you not give too much credibility to the porter?
osu.32435009413329	“ Some one determined to divert suspicion from himself to others-"“ But stay — does he not plainly confess his own guilt?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Something, monsieur. ” “ Who could have told her?
osu.32435009413329	“ Tell me,"said the Chief, “ quick, this woman — what was she like?
osu.32435009413329	“ That?
osu.32435009413329	“ The Countess?
osu.32435009413329	“ The Countess?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Was he a suspicious character, then?
osu.32435009413329	“ Was not that in itself suspicious?
osu.32435009413329	“ Well, among your acquaintances- he would probably have made himself known to you? ” “ I suppose so."
osu.32435009413329	“ Well?
osu.32435009413329	“ What do you imply?"
osu.32435009413329	“ What have we against her? ” said the Judge, as soon as they had gained the absolute privacy of the sleeping- car.
osu.32435009413329	“ What is it?"
osu.32435009413329	“ What is it?"
osu.32435009413329	“ What matter if he is not Ripaldi?
osu.32435009413329	“ What next, M. Floçon? ” asked the Judge.
osu.32435009413329	“ What say you? ” “ It has that appearance.
osu.32435009413329	“ What shall we do with her? ” “ Let her go, ” answered the detective, briefly.
osu.32435009413329	“ When and how did you become pos- sessed of it?"
osu.32435009413329	“ Where?
osu.32435009413329	“ Who else? ” “ And at a point near Paris.
osu.32435009413329	“ Who is to go?
osu.32435009413329	“ Who rang the bell, then? ” “ I did not.
osu.32435009413329	“ Who saw her?
osu.32435009413329	“ Who were they?
osu.32435009413329	“ Who, then?
osu.32435009413329	“ Why should I? ”"And these friends were? ” “ Sir Charles Collingham and his brother.
osu.32435009413329	“ Why should I? ”"And these friends were? ” “ Sir Charles Collingham and his brother.
osu.32435009413329	“ Why, in God's name, do you still harp upon the woman?
osu.32435009413329	“ Would M. le Juge like me to go in search of her?
osu.32435009413329	“ You can give me the names of the passengers? ” THE ROME EXPRESS 19 “ Here we have the six compartments.
osu.32435009413329	“ You have connived at the escape of a criminal from justice “ That lady?
osu.32435009413329	“ You informed your superiors, I sup- pose?"
osu.32435009413329	“ You noticed the open window, then?"
osu.32435009413329	” Can it be possible?
osu.32435009413329	” “ Whom do you mean?
osu.32435018067173	- “ Do you hear me, Sofia? ” A voice like a sigh rustled on the parted lips, whose stir was imperceptible: “ I hear you.
osu.32435018067173	- “ Something more than a man? ” Sofia enquired through its folds.
osu.32435018067173	. ” “ Really not?
osu.32435018067173	66 Why? ” Prince Victor Vassilyevski gave a gesture of pain and reluctance.

osu.32435018067173	Adept in black arts of the Orient as he was said to be, what wizardry was he brewing with the aid of that tradi- tional tool of the necromancer?
osu.32435018067173	And what had this consultation of the occult to do with the man ’s mind concerning herself?
osu.32435018067173	And whether the magic were white or black — what matter?
osu.32435018067173	And your advice —? ” “ They tell too much, madame, those letters.
osu.32435018067173	Are there any more bids?
osu.32435018067173	Are you mad? ” “ No — but Victor is, mad with lust for power, insane with illusions of personal aggrandizement.
osu.32435018067173	Are you ready to give it up? ” “ Never! ” Mama Thérèse thumped the table vehemently.
osu.32435018067173	Are you theah?
osu.32435018067173	Are you there?
osu.32435018067173	At last — after months of experimentation — I have been sucessful! ” “ ’ Ow? ” dryly demanded the man in the checked suit.
osu.32435018067173	But need one be crudely explicit? ” Sofia answered nothing to that, for a long time she said nothing, but sat pondering.
osu.32435018067173	But was she as radiant as she had been?
osu.32435018067173	But what good will that do you, do you think?
osu.32435018067173	But what in life is not?
osu.32435018067173	But what of that?
osu.32435018067173	But what the devil had made it so precious to the soi- disant Prince Victor and his charming wife?
osu.32435018067173	But what?
osu.32435018067173	But — who knows? ” He checked himself as if struck by a new turn of thought, and studied the girl ’s face intently.
osu.32435018067173	Ca n’t say I blame Karslake. ” “ But do you forgive him? ” “ Ah, that is another matter.
osu.32435018067173	Did it stub its toe and fall? ” Victor suspended operations with the handkerchief to bend upon his tormentor a louring, distrustful stare.
osu.32435018067173	Do you know that? ”- Her little one looked more than ever demure as she enquired after the hidden meaning of madame la princesse.
osu.32435018067173	Do you understand?
osu.32435018067173	Eh?
osu.32435018067173	First prove you mean to make good your word. ” “ How? ” “ Let me go — with my letters — and call on me to- morrow. ” His look clouded.
osu.32435018067173	Hand steady enough to write me a cheque, do you think? ” “ What the devil! ” “ Oh, come now!
osu.32435018067173	Has one asked you to speak?
osu.32435018067173	Have you committed all this to memory? ” The sleeping girl answered in the affirmative.
osu.32435018067173	Have you forgotten you have a bad heart?—that excitement may mean your sudden death? ” The rage of the Englishman ran out in a gasp and a whisper.
osu.32435018067173	His voice, slightly tremulous with emotion, uttered her name: “ Sofia? ” She collected herself with an effort.
osu.32435018067173	How can I know? ” “ What proof do you want? ” “ Something definite.
osu.32435018067173	How can I know? ” “ What proof do you want? ” “ Something definite.

osu.32435018067173	How should it be otherwise?
osu.32435018067173	I suffered there, at Troyon ’s. ” “ You, sir? ” Karslake exclaimed in astonishment.
osu.32435018067173	I think you will hardly refuse to listen to me now. ” “ How — how did you get in? ” “ Oh, secretly!
osu.32435018067173	If you care to seek her favour? ” “ But — how? ” “ By consulting the crystal. ” Sofia ’s eyes sought that coldly burning stone.

osu.32435018067173	In a voice more than commonly rich with accent, Sturm demanded sharply: “ What is this?
osu.32435018067173	In the room with them, perhaps?
osu.32435018067173	In the study of Prince Victor Vassilyevski the man Sturm put an impatient question: “ Well?
osu.32435018067173	Is it not so, mon prince? ” “ Much more. ” Victor's enigmatic smile gave place to a look of regret and uneasiness.
osu.32435018067173	Is not that which was lost restored again to me?
osu.32435018067173	Is not the Future always a riddle?
osu.32435018067173	Is that clear?
osu.32435018067173	Is that clear? ” “ Yes. ” “ Once in the boudoir, you will proceed to the safe where Lady Randolph West keeps her jewels.
osu.32435018067173	Karslake will provide the money. ” “ He does not accompany you? ” “ No. ” “ And the man Nogam? ” Victor appeared to hesitate.
osu.32435018067173	Karslake will provide the money. ” “ He does not accompany you? ” “ No. ” “ And the man Nogam? ” Victor appeared to hesitate.
osu.32435018067173	Marriage and independence: how do you reconcile that paradox? ” “ Madame la princesse means love, I think, when she speaks of marriage.
osu.32435018067173	May one ask what happened?
osu.32435018067173	Nogam delivered them? ” “ So I understand.
osu.32435018067173	Now where did you leave your coat and hat?
osu.32435018067173	On my bed, as you came in? ” He smiled charmingly and darted through the portières, returning with the articles in question.
osu.32435018067173	Or to be constructively derelict in her duty as a daughter?
osu.32435018067173	Or was it some secret faculty of the soul, telepathy or of its kin, that roused and sent her to keep her rendezvous with destiny?
osu.32435018067173	P.?)
osu.32435018067173	So what's the good of bickering about it?
osu.32435018067173	Surely you did n’t take him seriously? ” “ How should I? ” “ It is too absurd.
osu.32435018067173	Surely you did n’t take him seriously? ” “ How should I? ” “ It is too absurd.
osu.32435018067173	That sinister figure at the table, absorbed in study of the inscrutable sphere — what did he see there, to hold his faculties in such deep eclipse?
osu.32435018067173	The letters were hers, were they not?
osu.32435018067173	Then why try?
osu.32435018067173	Thirteen? ” A nod and gracious smile invited that one to speak.
osu.32435018067173	Thrown heavily against Victor, then instantly back to her 294 RED MASQUERADE hindhand, eh?
osu.32435018067173	To my own daughter? ” Victor smiled sadly.
osu.32435018067173	To risk forfeiting the comradeship that had grown to be so dear?
osu.32435018067173	To say “ walk out and make an end of it ” was all very well; but assuming that she ever should muster up spirit enough to do it — what then?
osu.32435018067173	To- night? ” “ Of course.
osu.32435018067173	V. ” “ Deo volente?
osu.32435018067173	Victor was hold- ing his arms open; and how should she deny him?
osu.32435018067173	Waiting for what?
osu.32435018067173	Was Victor right, then, and the crime he had willed her to commit in final analysis not repugnant to her instincts?
osu.32435018067173	Was the shadow of to- morrow already dimming her loveliness?
osu.32435018067173	What could she do?
osu.32435018067173	What did it matter?
osu.32435018067173	What his game?
osu.32435018067173	What spectacle of divination was in those pellucid depths unfolding to his rapt vision?
osu.32435018067173	What was this consolation?
osu.32435018067173	What you make of it — hein? ” Shaik Tsin looked up from a paper which he had been silently examining by the light of the brazen lamp.
osu.32435018067173	What ’s the matter?
osu.32435018067173	Which way should she turn, once she had passed out through the doors?
osu.32435018067173	Whistle up a growler, will you? ” “ ’ Nk- you, sir. ” The man retired cheerfully, rewarded for many a night of broken slumber.
osu.32435018067173	Why did n’t you answer more promptly?
osu.32435018067173	Why not profit by it, turn it to his own advantage?
osu.32435018067173	Why not?
osu.32435018067173	With such an open occasion, how could one fail?
osu.32435018067173	Witless, in the extremity of her terror, she stam- mered: “ What do you want? ” A nod indicated the picture that lay between them, at their feet.
osu.32435018067173	Would a brandy and soda help, do you think? ” The suggestion was acceptable: Victor signified as much with an ungracious mumble.
osu.32435018067173	Yes, he is safe enough. ” “ You know that for a fact?
osu.32435018067173	You are a religious man, Nogam? ” “ I’umbly'ope so, sir, and do my best to be, ac- cordin ’ to my lights. ” “ Glad to hear it.
osu.32435018067173	You are incredulous?
osu.32435018067173	You like get up now, take bath, have blekfuss? ” The smile was irresistibly ingratiating: Sofia could not but return it.
osu.32435018067173	You may have to bear witness against him in court. ” “ What insolence is this? ” Victor demanded, hotly.
osu.32435018067173	You pledge your- self to me? ” A movement of her head assented.
osu.32435018067173	You see this gentleman? ” Lanyard caught Victor's look of angry resentment and inter- rupted himself.
osu.32435018067173	You understand? ” “ Yes. ” “ At night, on going to bed, you will go promptly to sleep.
osu.32435018067173	You, sir —? ” He aimed a respectful bow at Prince Vic- tor, who snubbed him with a sign of fury.
osu.32435018067173	“ A riddle? ” Victor echoed.
osu.32435018067173	“ And if I do —? ” she murmured.
osu.32435018067173	“ And what shall one say of madame la princesse? ” She could but laugh; and laughter rings the death- knell of constraint.
osu.32435018067173	“ And what, pray, is this wonderful consolation you would offer me? ” He produced from a pocket a packet of papers.
osu.32435018067173	“ Anything more I can do to put you at your ease?
osu.32435018067173	“ Are n’t you going to forgive me? ” he asked, quietly, after a time.
osu.32435018067173	“ Are there any more bids?
osu.32435018067173	“ Are you meaning you ’ve got the girl? ” Number One indulged a remote and chilly smile.
osu.32435018067173	“ Are you there, Shaik Tsin?
osu.32435018067173	“ But he does n’t use it any more. ” “ Why not? ” Mr. Karslake was silent, thoughtful.
osu.32435018067173	“ But how did you get in? ” “ By the front door, madame.
osu.32435018067173	“ But is it? ” she asked in a tone so intimate that it was barely audible.
osu.32435018067173	“ But surely it is n’t because of that stupid business with Karslake?
osu.32435018067173	“ Can I trust you? ” He was putting the question to himself more than to her.
osu.32435018067173	“ Dare I? ” He added in a tone colourless and flat: “ I ’ve half a mind to take you at your word.
osu.32435018067173	“ Do you really know my father? ” HOUSE OF THE WOLF 123 “ Rather! ” said Mr. Karslake.
osu.32435018067173	“ Have we very far to go? ” “ We ’re almost there now — Queen Anne's Gate. ” A good enough address.
osu.32435018067173	“ How can I ever show my gratitude? ” Holding her close, Victor smiled a singular smile.
osu.32435018067173	“ How so? ” “ ’ E ’s done, Number One is — finished, counted out, napoo!

osu.32435018067173	“ It is a riddle? ” she asked, wearily.
osu.32435018067173	“ It takes one back. ” “ What does? ” “ This café, my friend. ” “ To your beginnings, you mean? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435018067173	“ It takes one back. ” “ What does? ” “ This café, my friend. ” “ To your beginnings, you mean? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435018067173	“ Madame la princesse did n’t know?
osu.32435018067173	“ More than that, the summons was handed me only twenty minutes ago. ” “ How was that? ” the babu asked.
osu.32435018067173	“ Must I tell you?
osu.32435018067173	“ My child! ” he exclaimed in accents of contrite surprise, “ have I kept you waiting long? ” “ Only a few minutes.
osu.32435018067173	“ Need I be?
osu.32435018067173	“ Need I remind you where we are? ” A sweep of Lanyard ’s hand indicated the boudoir; and Sofia started sharply in perplexity and alarm.
osu.32435018067173	“ Need you ask?
osu.32435018067173	“ Not squiffy, are you, by any chance? ” he en- quired with the kindliest interest.
osu.32435018067173	“ Number One is here, yes? ” “ Not yet.
osu.32435018067173	“ Oh, there you are, eh, Sturm? ” Then, as Sofia and Mrs. Waring turned to go, he added quickly: “ A moment, please.
osu.32435018067173	“ Something on your mind? ” She twisted her hands together till the laced fingers hurt.
osu.32435018067173	“ Struggle with me! ” he pleaded—“get me by the throat, throw me back across the desk 5* “ What do you mean?
osu.32435018067173	“ That startles you? ” he said in an indulgent voice.
osu.32435018067173	“ Then you, too, noticed the advertisement?
osu.32435018067173	“ To what lengths will he not go to cover up his daughter ’s shame, if it threatens to become public that she is a thief?
osu.32435018067173	“ What am I doing here? ” she breathed in horror.
osu.32435018067173	“ What are you telling me?
osu.32435018067173	“ What do you think? ” he enquired at length.
osu.32435018067173	“ What if they do?
osu.32435018067173	“ What is it to me, what you choose to think? ” “ I refuse to think that of you.
osu.32435018067173	“ What then? ” “ Independence, madame la princesse. ” “ What an idea!
osu.32435018067173	“ When am I to see him?
osu.32435018067173	“ Who are you? ” Sofia demanded in a breath.
osu.32435018067173	“ Who knows? ” he repeated, as if to himself.
osu.32435018067173	“ Wholly, without reserve? ” An invincible disgust shook her as the full sense of his insistence struck home.
osu.32435018067173	“ Why not? ” Victor ’s accents were gently per- suasive.
osu.32435018067173	“ Why ring? ” he countered, smiling.
osu.32435018067173	“ Why? ” she demanded, resentfully.
osu.32435018067173	“ Would you wish me to call a bobby and give'i m in charge? ” “ Thanks, no.
osu.32435018067173	“ You do n’t know how to thank me — do you?
osu.32435018067173	“ You got my messages, then?
osu.32435018067173	“ You have heard of crystal- gazing?
osu.32435018067173	“ You rang, sir? ” “ Oh, are you there, Nogam?
osu.32435018067173	“ You rang, sir? ” “ Oh, are you there, Nogam?
osu.32435018067173	“ You rang, sir? ” “ Yes, Harris. ” Lanyard tossed him a sovereign.
osu.32435018067173	“ You see that omnibus yonder?
osu.32435018067173	“ You think so? ” “ To be ordering you about, sir?
osu.32435018067173	“ You think so? ” “ To be ordering you about, sir?
osu.32435018067173	“ You will give yourself back to me? ” He came nearer, but she contrived to repeat the sign of assent.

nyp.33433076090160	- “ What's the joke, Chief? ” he questioned mildly.
nyp.33433076090160	-- “ And what about the other? ” asked the chief.
nyp.33433076090160	18 HIDDEN EYES “ Now what's up your sleeve? ” he grumbled.
nyp.33433076090160	206 HIDDEN EYES) “ What's up? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	214 HIDDEN EYES “ Did n't I fetch you into this world of woe? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	24 HIDDEN EYES “ Mae?
nyp.33433076090160	28 HIDDEN EYES “ Why do n't I? ” Thornton repeated the question inanely.
nyp.33433076090160	A LEAD 25 “ Are we breaking into a conference? ” the girl mocked, eying Thornton mischievously.
nyp.33433076090160	A fine job to give a man, is n't it? ” The doctor chuckled and nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	A man like Thornton? ” “ What'd he get? ” Franklin put the question plainly to gain time to think about this newest de- velopment.
nyp.33433076090160	A man like Thornton? ” “ What'd he get? ” Franklin put the question plainly to gain time to think about this newest de- velopment.
nyp.33433076090160	AN INSPIRATION 189 “ So that's it, eh? ” He reached out and patted the girl's arm with a huge hand.
nyp.33433076090160	Ai n't the prosecuting attorney's word good enough for that? ” “ Maybe he was, and maybe he was n't, ” growled the chief.
nyp.33433076090160	All of it?
nyp.33433076090160	And if he had to work out the combination, what then? ” Thornton frowned.
nyp.33433076090160	And nobody came running after you? ” A frightened look leaped into the girl's eyes; then she smiled wistfully.
nyp.33433076090160	Anything new on the bank job? ” Franklin shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	Aw, say, I ai n't done you nothin’, have I?
nyp.33433076090160	But was he there in the meantime? ” Franklin's face lit up.
nyp.33433076090160	But — thir- ty- five thousand dollars in two days. ” “ Will the papers have it? ” queried Ralby.
nyp.33433076090160	But — what? ” The chief leaned forward.
nyp.33433076090160	By the way, what came of Thornton's attempt to enter that vault this morning? ” Ralby laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	By the way, when are you going to give that mania patient another treat- ment? ” Doctor Lester hunched his fat shoulders.
nyp.33433076090160	CHECK 41 “ There was power all night? ” The chief nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	Came in about ten- thirty. ” “ Anybody with him? ” the chief questioned aim- lessly.
nyp.33433076090160	Chief?
nyp.33433076090160	Come straight here? ” “ Yep! ” Jackson seemed struggling to recall his 160 HIDDEN EYES exact movements.
nyp.33433076090160	Comfortable? ” The doctor's figure shook jellylike with his tremendous laugh.
nyp.33433076090160	Coming with me, Thornton?
nyp.33433076090160	DOCTOR LESTER MAKES A BET 81 “ Why did you ring off? ” Thornton queried curi- ously.
nyp.33433076090160	Did n't happen to be in this neighborhood this morning, did you?
nyp.33433076090160	Did you call me a minute ago?
nyp.33433076090160	Did you do any fishing, Ralby? ” Ralby shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	Did you ever know a more wonderful man? ” Thornton smiled his appreciation.
nyp.33433076090160	Do n't I know I'm fat?
nyp.33433076090160	Do n't I? ” Then: “ Did n't you murmur something about — ” He raised his eyebrows ludicrously.
nyp.33433076090160	Eat?
nyp.33433076090160	Eat? ” The big doctor's face purpled.
nyp.33433076090160	Ever argue with him about it? ” Thornton turned impatiently and walked slowly away.
nyp.33433076090160	From there he called in a moment: “ Seen anything of Mr. Thornton this morning, Mae? ” The girl's eyes leaped to the man's beside her.
nyp.33433076090160	Going to try suggestion? ” The doctor nodded ponderously, and placed be- fore him a small black box which he drew from a drawer of his desk.
nyp.33433076090160	Going to work all the afternoon? ” Ralby laughed at the answer that came to him.
nyp.33433076090160	Have n't you heard?
nyp.33433076090160	Have you seen him yet? ” she mimicked.
nyp.33433076090160	Have you tried psycho- analysis?
nyp.33433076090160	He ai n't?
nyp.33433076090160	He could have come up the river? ” “ Swim up? ” commented Franklin sarcastically, but the chief paid no attention.
nyp.33433076090160	He could have come up the river? ” “ Swim up? ” commented Franklin sarcastically, but the chief paid no attention.
nyp.33433076090160	He seems to be an early bird. ” 204 HIDDEN EYES “ Left more than once, did he? ” The chief jerked the cigar from the corner of his mouth.
nyp.33433076090160	He was going down to the bank with the chief this morning. ” “ Is that what you're watching him for? ” Sud- denly the girl laughed aloud.
nyp.33433076090160	He was there at nine o'clock — and he was there after midnight — yeh?
nyp.33433076090160	How about hypnosis? ” This was followed by the doctor's: “ By jove, Ralby!
nyp.33433076090160	How could any one have got into it? ” The doctor spun a flat stone into the water, watched it ricochet and disappear.
nyp.33433076090160	How should I know? ” The little frown grew deeper.
nyp.33433076090160	How the devil can a man cut the thickness of a metal in half and still have the same resistancy and strength? ” The doctor grunted.
nyp.33433076090160	How ’d I know?
nyp.33433076090160	How? ” he barked.
nyp.33433076090160	I do n't think I personally stand exactly ace high with the chief. ” “ What's the difference? ” laughed Thornton.
nyp.33433076090160	I mean, just how did you feel when you woke up? ” Thornton frowned a moment.
nyp.33433076090160	I see him once in a while. ” 14 HIDDEN EYES “ Was he ever around when the vault was assem- bled? ” the chief questioned slowly.
nyp.33433076090160	I ’m doing what I can, ai n’t I? ” He turned in his perplexity to the doctor, who had remained standing.
nyp.33433076090160	I ’m ready to go home, too. ” “ Lady, whenever have I failed you? ” protested the young man theatrically.
nyp.33433076090160	I ’ve got some work to do. ” He turned to the door: “ You saw the morn- ing papers, I suppose? ” Doctor Lester nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	I'm satisfied — are you? ” he asked the chief.
nyp.33433076090160	IGNORING HIS FRIENDS 171 “ Come on; what's the matter, girl?
nyp.33433076090160	Is Ben Franklin around anywhere?
nyp.33433076090160	Is this the way you get patients, Lester?
nyp.33433076090160	It has n't a thing to do with the vault itself; it is in the time lock — in the clock, that is. ” “ In the clock? ” Thornton nodded again.
nyp.33433076090160	It was not, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	It was unusual, the money being there — wasn't it?
nyp.33433076090160	Jackson? ” “ Checker combinations, ” grunted the detective THE FOURTH VISITATION 159 scornfully, and Mr. Carney nodded his head re- lievedly.
nyp.33433076090160	Joshing them along that they're really in a bad way? ” The doctor yawned mightily.
nyp.33433076090160	Just a touch of malaria, that's all. ” “ Yeh, malaria? ” sneered the big man heavily.
nyp.33433076090160	Know him, Chief? ” “ Um!
nyp.33433076090160	Know where he is?
nyp.33433076090160	Lend me your stethoscope, Lester; got it? ” Doctor Lester twisted grotesquely and brought the instrument from his hip- pocket.
nyp.33433076090160	Like to know why not?
nyp.33433076090160	Listen, I ’ve two perfectly good tickets for the show to- night, What? ” He frowned slightly.
nyp.33433076090160	Looked like he'd just got up. ” “ Huh? ” The chief turned his eyes on Franklin.
nyp.33433076090160	Maybe that is n't some news to tickle the doctor with, eh? ” He eyed Thornton quizzically.
nyp.33433076090160	Miss Mae in? ” He grinned a little.
nyp.33433076090160	Money?
nyp.33433076090160	My friend, Mr. Thornton, is n't it?
nyp.33433076090160	Never was a man who did n't have to begin somewhere, was there? ” The chief chuckled at the crushing logic of his retort.
nyp.33433076090160	Not gone yet?
nyp.33433076090160	Nothing special you wanted, was there?
nyp.33433076090160	Notice? ” The chief drew up on the edge of his chair, and Franklin leaned forward.
nyp.33433076090160	Noticed it? ” Ralby nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	Now what's wrong, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	Now — ”- “ Ca n't I do something? ” the girl pleaded.
nyp.33433076090160	PROVING THE PUDDING 343 “ Well? ” he turned to the young attorney.
nyp.33433076090160	Pretty late, is n't it?
nyp.33433076090160	Rather easy, was n't she? ” The doctor shrugged.
nyp.33433076090160	SUGGESTION 127 “ What's gone wrong there?
nyp.33433076090160	Sa- a- ay, what'r'you givin'me? ” His face stiffened suddenly.
nyp.33433076090160	Said it was n't so at first, did n't you? ” “ I do n't know, ” commented the chief thought- 86 e HIDDEN EYES fully.
nyp.33433076090160	Seems afraid; eh?
nyp.33433076090160	Seen him yet? ” “ You ’ve been here as long as I have, ” the girl re- THE THIRD VISITATION 109 plied.
nyp.33433076090160	She'll do now, though — but what's been keeping you up? ” Thornton turned to a cellaret and brought out a decanter and glasses.
nyp.33433076090160	Sleep all right after I left you? ” “ Yes, sir. ” The girl smiled into the doctor's face.
nyp.33433076090160	Suppose they'll let metry, Max? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433076090160	Suppose they'll let metry, Max? ” “ Why not?
nyp.33433076090160	THE IRREFUTABLE FACT 239 “ Ah, what's your hurry? ” The doctor's tone was elaborately ironical.
nyp.33433076090160	THE ROBBERY 13 “ Yes? ” The banker was eager.
nyp.33433076090160	THE ROBBERY 15 “ Say, what's the big idea? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	THE ROBBERY 3 “ Who else was watching it? ” “ Who else? ” The plain- clothes man's chuckle ended abruptly.
nyp.33433076090160	THE ROBBERY 3 “ Who else was watching it? ” “ Who else? ” The plain- clothes man's chuckle ended abruptly.
nyp.33433076090160	THE SECOND VISITATION 69 “ You ’re still in the Riverside Apartments, are n't you, Ralby? ” Ralby nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	Tell me, Hal — I meant to ask you this morning — what's the ver- dict? ” “ Isabel? ” THE LAUNCH 59 The doctor nodded.

nyp.33433076090160	Tell me, was your power shut off, even for a second, any time last night?
nyp.33433076090160	Tennis rackets? ” The chief looked up.
nyp.33433076090160	That you, Karks?
nyp.33433076090160	That? ” He indicated the empty julep- glass.
nyp.33433076090160	The early bird and the worm, is that it? ” The officer flushed and grinned.
nyp.33433076090160	The girl sighed a little, but he paid no heed, and finally she spoke again: “ Still worrying, Hal? ” He shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	The young attorney smoked a moment, then: “ What's the idea? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	Then what? ” The doctor stirred his drink meditatively as he eyed Thornton.
nyp.33433076090160	Then: “ Are n't you beginning a little early, Mae? ” “ It is n't about us, ” she explained hastily, turning red, “ but Ben — Mr.
nyp.33433076090160	Then: “ By the way, where were you last night? ” he finished banteringly.
nyp.33433076090160	There was a nuance of prophecy “ And how about your steel proposition? ” Ralby questioned, blowing rings of smoke toward the ceil- ing.
nyp.33433076090160	There's no similar case on record, and yet — what else? ” The doctor's hand made a gesture of helplessness.
nyp.33433076090160	They must have planned this thing for months. ” “ What makes you think so? ” Thornton flushed at the chief's tone.
nyp.33433076090160	They usually play out there early Sunday morning? ” “ Walking? ” the chief cut in.
nyp.33433076090160	They usually play out there early Sunday morning? ” “ Walking? ” the chief cut in.
nyp.33433076090160	Think it's the same thing? ” “ Naw, ” grumbled the doctor, “ how can I think anything?
nyp.33433076090160	Think it's the same thing? ” “ Naw, ” grumbled the doctor, “ how can I think anything?
nyp.33433076090160	Thinking of coming in with us? ” The young prosecuting attorney laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	This morning it was gone. ” “ Who opened the vault? ” The chief's question was purely a formal one.
nyp.33433076090160	Thornton did not seem disposed to speak, and finally the girl began again: “ What else is it, Hal?
nyp.33433076090160	Wants to go in train- ing, I suppose? ” The doctor shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	What are you doing this afternoon?
nyp.33433076090160	What brings you back? ” The doctor lowered himself into a chair.
nyp.33433076090160	What d'you think I'd be watchin'him for? ” She eyed the red Franklin a moment and picked up a magazine.
nyp.33433076090160	What do you think of that one, Hal? ” Thornton shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	What do you think, Ralby? ” Ralby started.
nyp.33433076090160	What have I done these past few days? ” “ You ’ve done worse than work, ” grumbled the big man.
nyp.33433076090160	What if you did boost the Defy product; you had an ax to grind, did n't you?
nyp.33433076090160	What is it? ” A look of astonishment crossed his face.
nyp.33433076090160	What makes them think so? ” Thornton shrugged.
nyp.33433076090160	What time is it? ” 146 HIDDEN EYES The doctor looked at his watch.
nyp.33433076090160	What was it? ” 89 90 HIDDEN EYES Thornton repeated the question, and Ralby mused silently a moment.
nyp.33433076090160	What ’re they to you?
nyp.33433076090160	What's she up to?
nyp.33433076090160	What's that again?
nyp.33433076090160	What's that?
nyp.33433076090160	What's the big idea?
nyp.33433076090160	What's up? ” “ Twenty- five thousand dollars in currency dis- appeared out of that vault last night, ” advised the chief grimly.
nyp.33433076090160	What? ” The chief leaned closer to the phone.
nyp.33433076090160	When did the malaria ever act like sunstroke? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	When the connection was made, he tapped a pencil im- patiently on his desk as he asked: “ How did Steel close?
nyp.33433076090160	Where do I – ” “ Your house — what street? ” The doctor was growing impatient.
nyp.33433076090160	Where was Thornton? ” Franklin listened impatiently, and interrupted: “ At the dance, ” he answered, “ we know that.
nyp.33433076090160	Where's Thornton — seen him? ” The doctor raised his eyes.
nyp.33433076090160	Who says so? ” The beginning of a smile hovered about the girl's wet eyes.
nyp.33433076090160	Who'd tekkeer o'Miss Is'hel, you reckon? ” And she chortled mightily.
nyp.33433076090160	Who's talk- ing?
nyp.33433076090160	Why did you do that? ” “ There you are. ” into wakefulness.
nyp.33433076090160	Why should n't she?
nyp.33433076090160	Why the Gloomy Gus attitude all of a sudden? ” 22 HIDDEN EYES “ Money, Lester.
nyp.33433076090160	Why the detective force so early P Did n't get much sleep, did you? ” The doc- tor chuckled.
nyp.33433076090160	Will you tell him to call headquarters, please, if you see him around?
nyp.33433076090160	You did n't succeed the last time, did you? ”.
nyp.33433076090160	You did?
nyp.33433076090160	You gave it to her?
nyp.33433076090160	You'll be there, wo n't you? ” “ If they'll let me, ” laughed Ralby.
nyp.33433076090160	You're coming, are n't you? ” She extended a slim hand which Thornton took in his own a moment.
nyp.33433076090160	You're not for- getting our bet, Ralby? ” 92 HIDDEN EYES “ Do n’t worry, Lester; you've got the losing end.
nyp.33433076090160	You're sure?
nyp.33433076090160	f, “ Well, Hanson? ” The chief's voice had an eager quality in it.
nyp.33433076090160	“ A chemist, ai n't he? ” Franklin nodded again.
nyp.33433076090160	“ A man do n't go out to play tennis in a blue suit around here, does he?
nyp.33433076090160	“ About this — this imperfection? ” the chief con- tinued.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ai n't I? ” he demanded again.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ai n’t it occurred to you, Chief, that the man who copped that money knew it was there? ” The chief passed a thoughtful hand over his chin.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ai n’t it? ” he inquired again of the empty THE DOCTOR MAKES A PROMISE 309 joyousness, and the doctor rubbed his face with a soiled hand.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ai n’t that just like a woman? ” mused Franklin aloud.
nyp.33433076090160	“ All right, ” he complained, “ but do n't I get any- thing to eat? ” “ Eat?
nyp.33433076090160	“ All right, ” he complained, “ but do n't I get any- thing to eat? ” “ Eat?
nyp.33433076090160	“ And I – er — ” “ What did he get? ” barked the chief suddenly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And did n't I yank you through everything from croup and colic to typhoid — eh? ” The girl's hand fell on his arm.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And do n't you think they will catch him?
nyp.33433076090160	“ And he's in there? ” gasped the banker.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And just what advices shall I carry to my — er — superiors, sir? ” The chief turned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And you come along dragging a funereal face as though I was all but buried. ” “ Yeh? ” The doctor was elaborately sarcastic.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And you did n't pass her out here by Hemming Park this morning? ” Thornton blew a cloud of smoke.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And you did not see the blinding vision of beauty that commanded me to remain here until she re- 64 HIDDEN EYES turned? ” he mocked.
nyp.33433076090160	“ And you think — what? ” he ventured.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Are n't we pals any more, Hal?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Are you sure you did n't ask to watch him? ” The hint of a smile began in the corner of her eyes.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Been bothering you, Mae? ” She shook her head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ben Franklin — do you mean to sit there and tell me that Mr. Thornton is the man you're watching? ” Franklin turned red.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ben Franklin, how many times must I tell you that I do n't know?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Besides, Hollwood had opened the vault before I got there. ” “ There is n't any inner vault there? ” The chief shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Blown up? ” he questioned incredulously.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Bright and early, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Burglar- proof vault, ai n't it? ” Franklin grinned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ But how do you? ” Thornton sat straight in his chair.
nyp.33433076090160	“ But how the devil can I help it?
nyp.33433076090160	“ But somebody — somebody last night opened that vault. ” “ Opened it? ” Franklin interjected.
nyp.33433076090160	“ But what's the use talking about it? ” The chief grunted.
nyp.33433076090160	“ But you do n't really think you could do it? ” Thornton laughed outright.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ca n't make it, eh? ” The bank president smiled.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ca n't the department have a right to its own opinions? ” grumbled the doctor.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Call Mr. Thornton, will you?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Coming along, Thornton? ” Thornton nodded and turned to the door, accom- panied by Ralby.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Connected?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Could n't make out anything else. ” “ Blue suit? ” Franklin queried hurriedly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did I forget something, Mae? ” The girl laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did n't get up un- til nine o'clock?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did n't hear that, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did n't make her sleep?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did n't see him go into his own office, did you? ” The girl shook her head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did the chief call you? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Did you put it up to him that it might go easier if he came across with the money he stole first? ” Franklin reddened.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Disap- peared?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Do n’t you know who it is? ” The doctor's voice was incredulous.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Do you really think, ” the girl continued quietly, “ that they are saying anything? ” Thornton lifted his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Do you really? ” 188 HIDDEN EYES Then, “ Miss Brannon? ” she queried eagerly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Do you really? ” 188 HIDDEN EYES Then, “ Miss Brannon? ” she queried eagerly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Dressed up. ” “ Yeh? ” The chief shifted his cigar about in his mouth.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Feel pretty good? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Feeling all right this morn- ing?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Five hundred?
nyp.33433076090160	“ For goodness'sake, Hal, ” greeted the girl, “ why the portentous frown? ” And Thornton smiled.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Gee, that was a push — eh, Bernice? ” THE SECOND VISITATION 63 The girl at his side nodded in turn.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Genius?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Getting batty, ” he grumbled; “ what were you saying — something about the chief, was n't it? ”, Thornton nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Going to announce it, are n't you? ” “ Sure; in the morning.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Good God, Isabell Do n't you see — can't you 258 HIDDEN EYES see?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Got a little time?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Got you, eh? ” His huge frame shook heavily.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Guess you're going off with that sleuth of yours, are n't you? ” he asked with heavy jocularity.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Had your courage screwed to the sticking- point, eh? ” He contemplated Thornton from out his little shrewd eyes.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Have you seen any of the safe people? ” ques- tioned the chief.
nyp.33433076090160	“ He never seems to do anything right, but he is a dandy, is n't he? ” Thornton nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ He ’d read you a lecture on what is n't possible and what is, eh, Max? ” “ Gosh, yes.
nyp.33433076090160	“ He ’s nervous as a jumping- jack al- ready. ” “ What do you propose to do first? ” Thornton ignored the doctor's remark.
nyp.33433076090160	“ He ’s out at the Riverside Apartments, ai n't he? ” The chief's question was a mere formality, and the officer nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Headquarters of what? ” The bullet- headed detective was taken aback, and Mae turned to giggle silently into the palm of her hand.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Headquarters? ” he bellowed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Hello — Izzy? ” The smile broadened until his huge face was creased with wrinkles.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Hey?
nyp.33433076090160	“ How do you feel? ” “ All right, ” the younger man answered easily.
nyp.33433076090160	“ How do you know that? ” grumbled the chief.
nyp.33433076090160	“ How hard I ’m hit?
nyp.33433076090160	“ How many times have I got to tell you, ” the 231 232 HIDDEN EYES girl was demanding, “ that I do n't know when he'll be back?
nyp.33433076090160	“ How should I know, Isabel?
nyp.33433076090160	“ How'd you like to tackle the job of breaking into it? ” Franklin's grin expanded and ended in a laugh.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Huh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Huh? ” Jackson eyed the chief with surprise.
nyp.33433076090160	“ I have n’t done anything to him, Doctor, have I? ” “ Of course you have n't.
nyp.33433076090160	“ I know, Izzy; Hal told me of it — told me this morning — ” “ Then you've seen him? ” The girl's hands went out eagerly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ I know, Lester, ” Thornton laughed shortly, “ but suppose she turns me down?
nyp.33433076090160	“ I mean in this device of yours; just what is it? ” “ Not such as to make burglary even remotely possible, ” Thornton answered quickly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ I say, Lester, ” he began, “ what's the idea?
nyp.33433076090160	“ I wonder if you heard about the Bay Street Bank? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090160	“ I — I did then. ” “ Now, is n't that fine? ” The doctor's huge voice bubbled joyously.
nyp.33433076090160	“ I ’m going home to dress, and then to call on a lady. ” “ Say, you tryin'to kid me? ” The detective's eyes met Thornton's laughing ones.
nyp.33433076090160	“ If they're a lot of asses, what do you care? ” “ Just the same, ” the younger man went on, “ it ’s a silly proposition.
nyp.33433076090160	“ If you was in his shoes and had to make good on a bluff — would you ha ’ gotten in?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Intoxicants?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is it?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is it?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is mama coming for you? ” The doctor's voice was jokingly inquiring.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is n't a feminine name, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is that all you think about?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is that idiot actually watching me? ” he de- manded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is there anything in this Jimmy Valentine busi- ness? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Is your current independent of the building, or are you all on one circuit? ” The president shrugged.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Isabel, what's the matter? ” The doctor's voice held a tense quality.
nyp.33433076090160	“ It begins to be interesting, certainly. ” “ Interesting? ” Thornton's voice was tense.
nyp.33433076090160	“ It is n't likely, is it, Chief? ” “ Huh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ It is n't likely, is it, Chief? ” “ Huh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ It ’s a pretty good type of vault, ai n't it? ” “ The best on the market, ” the other man agreed enthusiastically.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Joke?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just a second, Chief; you're asking me seriously if I think any one could open that Defy vault, work- ing at night, and in one night?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just get in? ” Ralby nodded as he took a chair directly opposite Thornton.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just how do you explain it yourself? ”- “ Explain it? ” Thornton frowned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just how do you explain it yourself? ”- “ Explain it? ” Thornton frowned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just how good is the city's detective force, Max? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just play a minute more. ” Then: “ Anything else turn up, Mae? ” The office girl shook her head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just the same, ” he boasted, “ Isabel's going with me to- night. ” “ Theater? ” Ralby nodded smilingly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Just why were you watching him? ” The girl's eyes met the detective's squarely.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Let me do the talking. ” For several minutes he smoked in silence, then: “ Tell me, Thornton, what happened to you at Isabel's last night?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Like what? ” questioned Ralby.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Mae, what does this — er — gentleman want? ” He emphasized the word prominently.
nyp.33433076090160	“ May I drop in a minute?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Maybe I'm hanging around here at three in the 104 HIDDEN EYES morning for my health; eh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Mind telling me why you're so suddenly inter- 34 HIDDEN EYES ested in this, Chief? ” he asked mildly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Miss Isabel, please — ” He waited a moment, then: “ Re- covered from the trip, Isabel?
nyp.33433076090160	“ No thanks A LEAD 29 necessary, Mr. Chemist- who- is- always- busy — I'm counting on you to- night?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Not yet; you advise it? ” The chief frowned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Nothing about developments in the case? ” Thornton shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Nothing important in the call? ” he hazarded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Notice anybody about when you left? ” The detective's beetle- brow corrugated in thought.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Notice what he had on? ” Franklin's mouth twisted into a half sneer.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Now let me finish this chapter, and do n't let anybody pester me — hear? ” The girl turned to the door which led into the reception- room.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Now, Mr.—er — er — what was it? ” THE IRREFUTABLE FACT 237 The doctor nodded nonchalantly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Now, honestly, Chief, does it look possible to you? ” The chief looked thoughtfully at the prints, al- though the drawings meant little to him.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Now, what is it? ” demanded the doctor, stop- ping still.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Of course it is; who else would call you Izzy? ” He chuckled heavily as he listened.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Oh, hello, Chief — what's the idea?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Oh, hello, Max; did n't know you were here. ” “ What? ” The young man drew up in his chair.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Oh, is he?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Oh, yes, that's our little persecution- mania pa- tient, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Opened it and closed it? ” The detective made small effort to hide his growing disbelief.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Pretty nice sort, ai n't he? ” Franklin's question- ing was extremely clumsy.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Quien sabe? ” he muttered.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Quite a distinc- tion for this burg of ours, eh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ralby did n't come with you? ” he questioned the doctor, and seemed nervous.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Ralby — you hear me, do n't you? ” The figure in the chair remained immobile.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Remember coming across any case analogous to this in your reading, Ralby? ” “ What? ” Ralby sat up with a start.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Remember coming across any case analogous to this in your reading, Ralby? ” “ What? ” Ralby sat up with a start.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say, Hal, ” he began tentatively, “ what's this Isabel's been telling me about you? ” Thornton looked his surprise.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say, Hanson, was Thornton carrying any- thing when he came back? ” “ Did n't see it, ” the detective advised.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say, Mae, ” he seemed embarrassed, “ what time does Mr. Thornton come down?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say, ai n't it time yet? ” His colleague, Hanson, raised studious eyes from the ground which he had been contemplating for fifteen minutes.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say, what's going to become of this office, you reckon? ” The girl shook her head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say, you pirate, whadaya mean by passin'your friends on the street an ’ not speakin'to'em?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Say? ” The girl shook her head slightly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ See the lady? ” he queried, and Thornton gloom- ily shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Shoot it, ” he advised, “ what's up all of a sudden? ” Thornton grinned as though embarrassed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Sit down, wo n't you? ” he invited.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Sleep all right? ” “ Like a brick, ” Thornton answered; then laughed: “ that is, with about as much sensation as a brick.
nyp.33433076090160	“ So you noticed it, too, eh? ” he grunted finally.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Some one did it — I believe that now — the question is, who?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Some peaceful day, eh? ” Thornton stared at the ceiling silently, and the doctor turned again to his chair, which he drew closer to the bed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Somnambulism? ” The doctor groaned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Sounds fine, Ralby, but where are your intel- lectual giants? ” “ Oh, they exist, ” Ralby stated positively.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Stealing a march on you, maybe, eh? ” he grunted.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Supposed to be in real estate, ai n't he? ” Franklin nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Sure he went off in a car? ” The detective grinned broadly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Sure you're not mistaken, Isabel?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Surely you're not going to keep me flat on my back here all night? ” Thornton queried.
nyp.33433076090160	“ That does n't look so bad, does it? ” Ralby played thoughtfully with the papers in his hands.
nyp.33433076090160	“ That mercurial solution — any'count at all? ” Thornton shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ That was when you first called me, was n't it, Chief? ” Thornton questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ That's about all I can do, eh, Ralby? ” The doc- tor puffed his cigarette, and Ralby nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ That's what he'll try to get away with, is it?
nyp.33433076090160	“ That's what you're here for. ” “ How about the doctor? ” commented Franklin ironically, digging back at the chief.
nyp.33433076090160	“ That's your problem, is n't it?
nyp.33433076090160	“ The Southern National is installing one of these, is n’t it? ” The president shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ The chief of the detective department, is n't it? ” he queried mildly, and the chief purpled as he stut- tered an answer.
nyp.33433076090160	“ The expert — the steel oracle — desires informa- tion?
nyp.33433076090160	“ The whole business is too queer. ” “ Bet what, Doctor? ” Ralby was interested.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Then it ai n’t got a thing to do with the opening of the vault itself, this invention of yours? ” He seemed, somehow, disappointed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Then what in the name of common sense did you expect to learn? ” “ Just what I did, ” Thornton answered quietly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Think I ’ll chase in and see — Hello, Ralby — not gone yet? ” Ralby drew near the two men.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Think! ” “ Did n't have anything else to say?"
nyp.33433076090160	“ This fellow Thornton, Hanson — carrying any- thing when he left?
nyp.33433076090160	“ This the sort of stuff you read? ” He glanced at the title and turned to Thornton.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Thornton, eh? ” The doctor stroked his ele- phantine chin slowly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Time?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Trousseau? ” he teased.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Understand? ” Thornton nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Up a bit, is n't she?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Want me, Mae? ” The girl nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Want to come to town with me? ” Thornton turned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Was Mr. Thornton in here? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, I ’m going to take a shot at it, but it looks strong, does n't it? ” Doctor Lester eyed the glistening surface of the vault- door.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, Max? ” The attorney jerked suddenly erect, as though startled by the question.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, Mr. Chemist- who- is- always- busy, what ’s the matter? ” 56 HIDDEN EYES The girl shot a quick glance at him.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, Ralby? ” Ralby nodded slowly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, headquarters of what? ” repeated the big man, scowling at the detective.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, how about Lester, then; think he will find some one — some lady one of these days? ” The girl nodded positively.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well, what's it all about, Mae?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well? ” Ralby rose to his feet, preparing to leave.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well? ” The chief turned quickly to the detective, leaning forward eagerly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well? ” The chief's monosyllable was expres- sive.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well? ” The little man, however, seemed in no hurry.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Well? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Whaddaya mean — looked like he just got up? ” 198 HIDDEN EYES-,, Franklin shrugged.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What can I do for you, Hal? ” grumbled the doctor good- naturedly, as the girl passed into the laboratory.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What do you know about that? ” he chuckled.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What do you think of it now? ” questioned the.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What for? ” “ What does anybody get married for? ” the girl countered, and the doctor's vast bulk shook with a soundless laugh.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What for? ” “ What does anybody get married for? ” the girl countered, and the doctor's vast bulk shook with a soundless laugh.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What in heaven's name is the idea? ” The doctor laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What is it you desire me to say to the chief for you? ” “ I do n't desire nothin’, ” Jackson snapped in an- swer.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What is it? ” he asked, and took the book from Ralby.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What was he saying about me? ” she demanded smilingly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What was he wearing?
nyp.33433076090160	“ What was it, Isabel?
nyp.33433076090160	“ What'd I want to trail him for? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What'll you bet? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's it doing? ” Thornton queried lightly, though the tiny wrinkles about his eyes showed his worry.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's new in the St. James Building? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the idea, Chief?
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the idea, Lester? ” he asked shortly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the idea? ” The big doctor carefully lifted the lid of one of 102 HIDDEN EYES the young man's eyes and frowned in a puzzled fashion.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the matter with him being on the way, or coming from the Springfield tennis- courts?
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the rush? ” he grumbled, and Ralby looked expectantly at Thornton.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the use worrying about it? ” he grum- bled, holding the test- tube up to the light and squint- ing at the discolored fluid it contained.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's the use?
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's up now? ” “ Nothing. ” The doctor eased his huge bulk into a wicker chair, lighted a cigarette and meditatively puffed a moment.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's up? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's wrong about that guy, Chief? ” The bullet- headed detective scented the fact somehow that he should have followed Thornton.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's wrong, Hal? ” Thornton smiled weakly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What's º that — what's that?
nyp.33433076090160	“ What? ” He bellowed the question and slid for- ward eagerly to the edge of his chair.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What? ” The girl leaned forward eagerly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What? ” he repeated, and laughed: “ What — what? ” And grinned at the doctor's heavy face, Doctor Lester shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ What? ” he repeated, and laughed: “ What — what? ” And grinned at the doctor's heavy face, Doctor Lester shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Whatcha mean, what? ” He frowned at the chief's sudden display of interest in his movements.
nyp.33433076090160	“ When'd you pick up Thornton? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076090160	“ When, and what for? ” Thornton lighted his cigarette.
nyp.33433076090160	“ When?
nyp.33433076090160	“ When?
nyp.33433076090160	“ When?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Where do you live? ” “ Huh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Where do you live? ” “ Huh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Where is the money Thornton brought to you? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Where'd you go when you left there?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Who did you run into? ” the chief questioned eagerly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Who was at the apartments this morning? ” The chief began to smile slowly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Who's the doctor here? ” he demanded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Whom do you suppose she's looking for? ” “ Me? ” Thornton queried inanely.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Whom do you suppose she's looking for? ” “ Me? ” Thornton queried inanely.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why did n't you tell me there was n't any one in here with the bear? ” The girl turned and laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why did she tell you, do you think? ” The doctor laughed his rumbling laugh.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why do n't you cheer that youngster up a bit, Izzy? ” The girl's eyes were not smiling as they met the doctor's.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why do n't you tell him how you do it, Aunt Julie? ” The big negress turned in the doorway.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why do n't you try it? ” Thornton chuckled.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why not try to get some detectives from up North on it? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why worry over it, Hal?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why — why do you ask, Hal? ” Thornton shrugged.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why, Hal?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why, what is that, Doctor? ” The doctor looked at her over the lighted match he held to his cigarette.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Why? ” Thornton laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Will you be honest with me, Doctor, if I ask you something? ” The doctor noticed the seriousness in the girl's eyes, but he spoke jestingly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Will you tell me about it? ” he questioned the chief slowly.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Work?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Yeh — how'd you know he did? ” “ Go on, ” the chief ordered.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Yeh?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Yeh? ” He eyed Jackson until that gentleman fidgeted again.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Yellow jaundice? ” Thornton mocked.
nyp.33433076090160	“ Yes?
nyp.33433076090160	“ Yes? ” she questioned dully.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You did n't play tennis this morning, did you? ” “ Not much I did n't, ” Thornton laughed.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You do look comforta- ble. ” “ Me?
nyp.33433076090160	“ You do n't believe — be candid, Ralby — you do n't believe he did it consciously? ” Ralby frowned.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You do n't really believe that anybody without the combinations got into that vault, do you? ” The chief stopped.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You mean to tell me that the vault in the Second National Bank was opened and money stolen? ” A smile played over the young man's face.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You mean when they placed it?
nyp.33433076090160	“ You must go?
nyp.33433076090160	“ You never can tell, can you, Franklin?
nyp.33433076090160	“ You said you did n't want to be bothered, did n't you, Doctor? ” And Doctor Lester, putting aside his book, chuckled as he nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You saw the papers this morning? ” The chief nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You wanted to see me, Chief? ” 30 HIDDEN EYES The chief nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You watched'em put that vault in the Second National, did n't you? ” Franklin nodded.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You were at the bank all night? ” The chief looked heavily at the man before him.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You were connected with the Defy people once, were n't you? ” Thornton shook his head.
nyp.33433076090160	“ You were here with me, were n't you?
nyp.33433076090160	“ You ’re going down, too, are n't you? ” he invited.
nyp.33433076090160	“ ’S matter? ” grunted the chief sarcastically.

nyp.33433112006139	A battle of wits?
nyp.33433112006139	A woman?
nyp.33433112006139	Ah, Norton, how are you? ” “ Good evening, Mr. Braine. ” The reporter, catching sight of a pair of dazzling eyes, hesitated.
nyp.33433112006139	Ah, when would she see that father of hers, so mysterious, always hover- ing near, always unseen?
nyp.33433112006139	Ai n’t we smelt ’em so long that ye could stick yer nose in th ’ starboard light an ’ never smell no kerosene?
nyp.33433112006139	An ’ who ’re you? ” Jim.
nyp.33433112006139	And I knew! ” “ Knew what? ” “ That he lied.
nyp.33433112006139	And what are they doing here? ” Jones shook his head.
nyp.33433112006139	And what has become of the man over the way? ” “ By the Lord Harry! ” exclaimed Braine, clapping his hands.
nyp.33433112006139	And would n’t they be surprised when she told them what she had accomplished all alone?
nyp.33433112006139	And, good heavens, Mr. Norton, where did you get those clothes?
nyp.33433112006139	Anything new on the Hargreave story? ” “ I ’m not handling that, ” the reporter lied cheerfully.
nyp.33433112006139	Are they after you again? ” “ Heavens, no!
nyp.33433112006139	Besides, do you know my face? ” “ I do.
nyp.33433112006139	Braine ’s alive; he just stirred. ” “ What? ” exclaimed Norton and Hargreave in a single breath.
nyp.33433112006139	Braine, who was Menshikofi?
nyp.33433112006139	But I begin to wonder. ” “ About what? ” “ Whether or not Jones suspects me and is giving me rope to hang myself with.
nyp.33433112006139	But do you want my opinion?
nyp.33433112006139	But from\.. 1at direction and in what manner?
nyp.33433112006139	But has n’t it ever occurred to you that there might be a purpose back of this?
nyp.33433112006139	But he had to have a diving bell; and where the blue devil could he get one with twelve dollars and an Ingersoll watch in his pocket?
nyp.33433112006139	But if anything happens to any of my personal friends — ” “ Well? ” haughtin from Olga.
nyp.33433112006139	But there were some spots of blood on the walk near the corner. ” ‘ “ Blood? ” Jones caught the back of a chair to steady himself.
nyp.33433112006139	But what authority have you to engage me? ” sen- sibly.
nyp.33433112006139	But what is this trap?"
nyp.33433112006139	But what was he look-'ing for, wondered the reporter?
nyp.33433112006139	But what will you live on? ” Here was a far greater mixup than she had calculated upon.
nyp.33433112006139	By the way, may I ask you a few questions?
nyp.33433112006139	Ca n’t you feel the truth of all this? ” “ No, no!
nyp.33433112006139	Ca n’t you see? ” “ Yes, I can see. ” But in her heart she knew that she would have lived in a hut with this man till the end of her days.
nyp.33433112006139	Can you handle this alone, Norton?
nyp.33433112006139	Could anybody be in deeper than he was?
nyp.33433112006139	Could they bend her?
nyp.33433112006139	Did he really care for her or was she only the cats- paw to pluck his hot chestnuts from the fire?
nyp.33433112006139	Did she say what train? ” “ No, madam, ” lied jones, smiling.

nyp.33433112006139	Did you hear any autos outside? ” “ I do n’t recollect, ” said Jones, stretching his legs grate- fully.
nyp.33433112006139	Did you tell this to the other chaps? ” “ Do n’t think I did.
nyp.33433112006139	Did you find her and rescue her?
nyp.33433112006139	Do n’t we know whut onions is?
nyp.33433112006139	Do you know where Hargreave is? ” Norton eyed his liquor thoughtfully.
nyp.33433112006139	Do you see that but yonder, near the fork in the road?
nyp.33433112006139	Do you think you can follow it? ” “ I can try, ” said the operator.
nyp.33433112006139	Do yuh think I ’d be fool enough t ’ hunt for it without a perfect range? ” Dunkers tapped his coat pocket suggestively.
nyp.33433112006139	Eh?
nyp.33433112006139	Eh? ” Florence blushed.
nyp.33433112006139	For what had she left the peace and quiet of Miss Farlow ’s; assassination, robbery, thieves and kidnapers?

nyp.33433112006139	Has it ever occurred to you that the organization may be getting tired, too?
nyp.33433112006139	Have I not written books on that subject? ” ironically.
nyp.33433112006139	Have you been trying to do any charitable work among the poorer classes? ” “ Only once, ” admitted Susan, now on the verge of tears.
nyp.33433112006139	Have you had lunch?
nyp.33433112006139	Have you wired Jones? ” “ I never thought to! ” “ Then I shall.
nyp.33433112006139	He ’s dead. ” “ No will found yet? ” “ Not a piece as big as a postage stamp. ” “ That will leave the girl in a tough place.
nyp.33433112006139	Here ’s the address. ” “ How long will you hold open for me? ” asked Norton, meaning how long would the city editor wait for the story.
nyp.33433112006139	How 114 THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY- long would this strange combat last?
nyp.33433112006139	How about the child he never sought but guarded?
nyp.33433112006139	How could any one so beau- tiful be so wicked?
nyp.33433112006139	How could she wait till to- morrow night at eight?
nyp.33433112006139	How had they done it?
nyp.33433112006139	How had they succeeded in doing it?
nyp.33433112006139	How the deuce did you chance to get one? ” “ Search me, ” said the bewildered Norton.
nyp.33433112006139	How was he to know that this was a comedy set especially for his benefit?
nyp.33433112006139	How, in God ’s name, had she escaped from them who never let anybody escape?
nyp.33433112006139	How, when, where?
nyp.33433112006139	Huh? ” “ You keep out o ’ my way, that ’s all.

nyp.33433112006139	I THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY 295 “ For me? ” She laughed scornfully.
nyp.33433112006139	I am forbidden to desert this house. ” “ My father ’s orders? ” 98 THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY Jones signified neither one way nor the other.
nyp.33433112006139	I can not undertake to read her thoughts. ” “ You ’re not quite in favor of a reconciliation? ” “ Oh, yes, if it went no further.
nyp.33433112006139	I can see now that all our failures are due to one mistake. ” “ And what the devil is that? ” he asked irritably.
nyp.33433112006139	I dare not. ” “ But if I should command, upon the pain of dismis- sal? ” coldly.
nyp.33433112006139	I feel it in my bones that some- thing will go wrong to — morrow. ” “ Good lord, are you losing your nerve? ” cried Braine impatiently.
nyp.33433112006139	I know but little of his life prior to that. ” “ Why did he leave me all these years without ever coming to see me?
nyp.33433112006139	I want to twist Hargreave ’s heart before the game winds up. ” “ You wish really to injure her? ” “ I do not wish to injure her.
nyp.33433112006139	I wonder what ’s doing?
nyp.33433112006139	I ’ll show the fool that he has no moujik to deal with this time. ” “ And what are these documents? ” asked Olga.
nyp.33433112006139	I ’m an old friend of her mother ’s. ” “ There is no such person here. ” “ To whom, then, does this hat belong? ” she asked quietly.
nyp.33433112006139	I ’m dizzy all the time; I ca n’t read or sew or eat or sleep. ” “ Why did n’t you tell me? ” said Florence, reproachfully.
nyp.33433112006139	I ’m going to leave you at your apartment. ” “ The man of the Black Hundred? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433112006139	I ’ve failed, too. ” “ Are you turning against me? ” he demanded bitterly.
nyp.33433112006139	If Hargreave is alive, why does n’t he turn up now that it ’s practically known that his daughter presides over his household?
nyp.33433112006139	If they knew where he was they would not bother you in the least. ” “ Have I really a father?
nyp.33433112006139	Is Florence there? ” “ N o, madam.
nyp.33433112006139	Is it any 0 ’ your business?
nyp.33433112006139	Is my father alive? ” The butler ’s brow puckered.
nyp.33433112006139	It ’s a small world, is n’t it? ” But if wishing could, poison, the reporter would have died that moment.
nyp.33433112006139	Katrina Pushkin, my cousin, had a child. ” “ Child?
nyp.33433112006139	Leo, was Hargreave the man ’s real name? ” Braine laughed.
nyp.33433112006139	Let my brain go into the wastebasket for the sake of an hour or so of exhilaration?
nyp.33433112006139	Might it not be a means of holding them on the leash?
nyp.33433112006139	Might it not be of inestimable value that your father ’s enemies should be left in doubt?
nyp.33433112006139	More folks from the wreck? ” “ Where ’s the horse and buggy, Jake P ” his wife asked.
nyp.33433112006139	N 0?

nyp.33433112006139	Not going to in- terview me, are you? ” “ N 0.
nyp.33433112006139	Now, by — by! ” “ Are n’t you going to kiss me, Leo? ” He caught her hands.
nyp.33433112006139	Now, for heaven ’s sake, how did you get into this?
nyp.33433112006139	Now, what ’s your scheme? ” Jim outlined it briefly.
nyp.33433112006139	Olga had n't killed the man, then?
nyp.33433112006139	Queer old cock; brave as a lion, but as quiet as a mouse. ” “ Bookish, eh?

nyp.33433112006139	See somethin’ white bobbin ’ up? ” “ Yessir!
nyp.33433112006139	See this painting? ” He touched a spot in the wall and the painting slowly swung- out like a door.
nyp.33433112006139	See ’ er, jes ’ like the banker ’s wife goin’ t ’ church on Sunday?
nyp.33433112006139	Set the wind in that quarter?
nyp.33433112006139	Shall I get you something to read?
nyp.33433112006139	Shall I tell her to call you when she returns? ” “ Yes, please.
nyp.33433112006139	Shanghaied?
nyp.33433112006139	She had not killed the man she loved, then?
nyp.33433112006139	Sit down. ” “ What kind of a man is the captain of that old hooker in the slip? ” “ Shiny in gun running, but otherwise as square as a die.
nyp.33433112006139	So Florence Hargreave was going to have a new father in a day or so?
nyp.33433112006139	So that ’s the game? ” “ Yes ”; and Jim is the sort every paper needs.
nyp.33433112006139	So the reporter had found her, and she was safe and sound on her way to New York?
nyp.33433112006139	So they had found him?
nyp.33433112006139	So they had got her?
nyp.33433112006139	So this was the end of things?
nyp.33433112006139	Some one has imposed upon the countess. ” “ Do you think so? ” with a strange look in his eyes.
nyp.33433112006139	Steal it?
nyp.33433112006139	Supposing after all it was only a resemblance, that the child was not Hargreave ’s, a sub- stitute just to blind the Black Hundred?
nyp.33433112006139	Supposing some fool should go rum- maging about his bunk and discover the box?

nyp.33433112006139	Tell me, where have you been?
nyp.33433112006139	That ’s a tough proposition. ” “ Oh, it is, is it?
nyp.33433112006139	That ’s far enoug. ” “ Bannock?
nyp.33433112006139	The Black Hundred needed money l ”_ “ And you need it now? ” eagerly, believing that she saw a loophole.

nyp.33433112006139	The peculiar thing about this was that Norton was en- tertaining the same thought at the same time: what earthly chance had he?
nyp.33433112006139	The question is, has he fooled usP Did he take that million or did he hide it?
nyp.33433112006139	The whole thing rested upon one difficulty; would Jones permit the girls to leave the house?
nyp.33433112006139	The first?
nyp.33433112006139	There was. ” “ What was it?
nyp.33433112006139	They are not the kind of men who keep their word. ” “ Eh? ” snarled Vroon.
nyp.33433112006139	They could wait till their enemy ’s vigilance slacked and then would strike?
nyp.33433112006139	This doctor, who seemed kindly and benevolent, who had prescribed for Susan and benefited her, why should she doubt him?
nyp.33433112006139	To F lo'rcnce it seemed almost impossible that they did not hear the thunder of her heart?
nyp.33433112006139	To keep them away from the true daughter?
nyp.33433112006139	To what particular police station shall I head this omnibus? ” “ The nearest, Jones; the very nearest you can think of!
nyp.33433112006139	Try your kind. ” “ What do you mean? ” “ Lies. ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433112006139	Was he a fool or was he deep, playing a game as shrewd as her own?
nyp.33433112006139	Was it for her?
nyp.33433112006139	Was it that she really craved the- stone?
nyp.33433112006139	Was the child spinning a romance over the first young man she had ever met?
nyp.33433112006139	We have given the jade[ five thousand already and she is clamoring for the bal- ‘, ance. ” “ Have you threatened her? ” asked Olga.
nyp.33433112006139	We must not stand here. ” “ My mother? ” “ She is dead.
nyp.33433112006139	We promise to give you something in exchange for it. ” “ What? ” asked Jim with as much nonchalance as he could assume.
nyp.33433112006139	We ’ll make inquiries after. ” “ We are near the end? ” whispered Florence.
nyp.33433112006139	Were these men of the countess ’ party?
nyp.33433112006139	Were they going to take her to sea again?
nyp.33433112006139	What are they asking you to do? ” he said to Florence.
nyp.33433112006139	What are you going to do with me? ”'“ Turn you over to the Russian agent.
nyp.33433112006139	What are you going to do? ” asked the reporter.
nyp.33433112006139	What are your plans? ” he asked abruptly of the{ teacher from Miss Farlow ’s.
nyp.33433112006139	What can I do for you? ” He put his hands embarrassedly into his pockets — and felt the crisp bills.
nyp.33433112006139	What chance had he of mar- rying this girl with millions within reach of her hand?
nyp.33433112006139	What did he really know?
nyp.33433112006139	What did they call them P — doubloons and pieces — of — eight?
nyp.33433112006139	What do you mean by keeping this fact from me? ” he stormed.
nyp.33433112006139	What had happened?
nyp.33433112006139	What had they said to her, done to her?
nyp.33433112006139	What has happened? ” “ Who is it? ” asked Florence, stepping forward.
nyp.33433112006139	What has happened? ” “ Who is it? ” asked Florence, stepping forward.
nyp.33433112006139	What have they done to you, my child, to make you suspicious of every one?
nyp.33433112006139	What if I have a grouch?
nyp.33433112006139	What if he was her father ’s butler?
nyp.33433112006139	What in the world could that mean?
nyp.33433112006139	What in the world should she do?
nyp.33433112006139	What is that to you? ” demanded Florence, who did not know that this maid was a detective.
nyp.33433112006139	What is the matter?
nyp.33433112006139	What kind of a joy ride do you want? ”'“ No joy ride.
nyp.33433112006139	What makes you think I am English? ” asked Jones with a curious glitter in his eyes.
nyp.33433112006139	What matter?
nyp.33433112006139	What th ’ tarnation we goin’ to do?
nyp.33433112006139	What the deuce can that mean? ” “ Two young women?

nyp.33433112006139	What was a chap to do when a pretty girl appealed to him?
nyp.33433112006139	What was it?
nyp.33433112006139	What was the meaning of this slow rise and fall of his bed?
nyp.33433112006139	What was the reason for Jones carrying that box out in broad daylight?
nyp.33433112006139	What was your thought? ” “ We could go away together, to South America. ” “ And tire of each other within a month, ” he retorted shrewdly.
nyp.33433112006139	What were they after? ” “ You ’ve got me there.
nyp.33433112006139	What ’s brought you here?
nyp.33433112006139	What ’s that? ” The man told the story of Florence ’s leap into the sea and her subsequent arrival at the cape.
nyp.33433112006139	What, did I tell you?
nyp.33433112006139	Whatever shall I do? ” “ Be brave as you always are.
nyp.33433112006139	Where did you suppose she would be, after that botchwork of letting me go to do one thing while you had in mind another?
nyp.33433112006139	Where had he heard this voice before?
nyp.33433112006139	Where have I had the honor of meeting you before? ” “ You have never met me before, your highness, ” an- swered Olga sweetly.
nyp.33433112006139	Where have you been?
nyp.33433112006139	Where is she P ” “ Midnight?

nyp.33433112006139	Where ’d yuh git a box like that?
nyp.33433112006139	Where ’d yuh git this grouch?
nyp.33433112006139	Where ’s the girl? ” “ In her home.
nyp.33433112006139	Which among them was his, heart of his heart, blood of his blood?
nyp.33433112006139	Which way do I go? ” “ First turn to the left.
nyp.33433112006139	Who are they?
nyp.33433112006139	Who could it be, at this time of night?
nyp.33433112006139	Who is he and what is he? ” “ He has been with Hargreave for fourteen years.
nyp.33433112006139	Who is it?
nyp.33433112006139	Who is the chap watching across the street?
nyp.33433112006139	Who knows?
nyp.33433112006139	Who was this?
nyp.33433112006139	Whut ’s th ’ matter with yuh, anyhow?
nyp.33433112006139	Whut’ve we done t ’ yuh?
nyp.33433112006139	Why could not she re- member?
nyp.33433112006139	Why could n’t he steal into the house and see me, just once? ” “ Perhaps he dares not.
nyp.33433112006139	Why did he not return as he had promised?
nyp.33433112006139	Why did n’t you bring the box to me?
nyp.33433112006139	Why did you drug my coffee the night of that ball? ” She stepped back.
nyp.33433112006139	Why do n’t you pack up and clear out for a while? ” “ I am stronger in this house than elsewhere, ” answered the butler enigmatically.
nyp.33433112006139	Why had n’t he been invited?
nyp.33433112006139	Why must her poor head ache so when she tried to pierce the wall of darkness which surrounded her mentally?
nyp.33433112006139	Why should I bother to deny it?
nyp.33433112006139	Why should he?
nyp.33433112006139	Why should n’t she like him?
nyp.33433112006139	Why should she entertain any suspi- cion?
nyp.33433112006139	Why worry? ” “ It ’s only the way I feel.
nyp.33433112006139	Why?
nyp.33433112006139	Why? ” “ It is not for me, Miss Florence, to inquire into your father ’s act.
nyp.33433112006139	Will that be all right? ”_ Jones gazed abstractedly at the rug.
nyp.33433112006139	Will you be so good as to glance at this? ” Olga asked, holding out her palm upon which the talisman lay.
nyp.33433112006139	Will you never learn to keep outside this muddle?
nyp.33433112006139	Will you walk straight, or will you leave? ” “ I — I will walk straight, ” she faltered.
nyp.33433112006139	Would Susan have mentality enough to tell Jones where the taxicab had stopped?
nyp.33433112006139	Would they break her?
nyp.33433112006139	Would you like to hear it? ” mischievously.
nyp.33433112006139	You are sure of the location? ” “ Yes. ” “ Well, good- by.
nyp.33433112006139	You ca n’t work the ceiling this time?

nyp.33433112006139	You never know where you ’re at in this World, do you?"
nyp.33433112006139	You say they are in love? ” “ Secretly.
nyp.33433112006139	You will come? ” “ To be sure we will! ” “ Simple little fool I ” thought the Russian on the way home.
nyp.33433112006139	You ’re in no hurry, are you? ” “ Not now, ’ smiled the reporter.
nyp.33433112006139	You ’ve been a godsend; and if it seems that sometimes I did not trust you fully it was because I did not care to drag you in too deep. ” Deep?
nyp.33433112006139	You ’ve been work- ing out their new quarters?
nyp.33433112006139	You ’ve heard of Wyant& Co.? ” “ Sure I ’ve heard 0 ’ them.

nyp.33433112006139	maybe she ’s in danger. ” “ Danger?

nyp.33433112006139	‘ “ And let the man I love die? ” vehemently.
nyp.33433112006139	’ “ Well, why not?
nyp.33433112006139	“ A broken bracelet? ” The distrust on both faces vanished instantly.
nyp.33433112006139	“ And how much did they pay you for letting that doc- tor send Florence to Atlantic City?
nyp.33433112006139	“ And you are my father? ” said Florence, still be- wildered by the amazing events.
nyp.33433112006139	“ And you have followed me from Russia? ” whispered the princess, her terror growing.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Are you in your dotage? ” she asked vehemently.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Are you willing to wait for a great story, the real story? ” “ If there is one, ” answered Norton with his usual caution.
nyp.33433112006139	“ But it may turn out serious if it is not taken care of at once. ” “ What is the trouble? ” inquired Jones, who was grow- ing fond of Susan.
nyp.33433112006139	“ By the Lord Harry, I have him in my hands this time, that is, if this girl turns 28 THE MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY out to be his daughter./ A million?
nyp.33433112006139	“ Ca n’t you find some one else to do this stuff? ” he growled to the city editor.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Child of the Steppes, for years I ’ve flown about seas and continents, through valleys and over mountains — for what?
nyp.33433112006139	“ Column and a half. ” “ Off with your glad rags! ” “ Anything good? ” asked the managing editor.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Confide in no one, ” she repeated mentally, “ or you seal my death warrant. ” “ Why do you shake your head like that? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Did I shake my head? ” Her heart fluttered wildly.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Did my father know countesses? ” “ Yes, ” said Jones briefly.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Do I look like a woman who would go to Siberia? ” “ Be careful, Miss.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Do my actions point that way? ” she coimtered.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Do n’t you know me? ” asked the stranger in a singu — larly pleasant voice.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Do you know where the money is? ” Norton smelt of the brandy.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Do you realize what that mere chit did?"
nyp.33433112006139	“ English?
nyp.33433112006139	“ Every night after you leave he appears. ” “ Does he follow me? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Got that story? ” Norton sat down.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Have n’t you been able to see by this time what his game is?
nyp.33433112006139	“ He carried it with him. ” “ Why did n’t you call for help? ” “ The houses on either side are too far away.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Hello, Jones; what ’s up? ” “ Howard, get that car out at once. ” “ Out she comes.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Hello, who is it? ” “ This is Olga Perigoff.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Here is the list, highness. ” “ Who is Florence Hargreave? ” “ A friend of mine, ” evasively.
nyp.33433112006139	“ How can I get out of here? ” he whispered to the to- bacconist.

nyp.33433112006139	“ Sir, the stables are on fire. ” “ Fire? ” All the riding master ’s savings were invested in the stables.

nyp.33433112006139	“ Why did n’t he come to meet me instead of you? ” Jones stared at his hands, miserably.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Why did n’t you call me? ” he demanded impatiently.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Why do you laugh? ” “ I laugh because if he were dead there would be no earthly reason for your not saying so at once.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Why not wait till Mr. Jones returns? ” she suggested patiently.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Why, Susan, what ’s the matter? ” cried Florence.

nyp.33433112006139	“ Would you like to go with her, Florence? ” asked Jones, ’ with a shy glance at the strange doctor.

nyp.33433112006139	“ You are wondering if I suspect the Countess Peri — i goff? ” said Jones.
nyp.33433112006139	“ You came on a charity errand, then? ” “ That depends, your highness.
nyp.33433112006139	“ You do not believe me? ” said the man, advancing slowly.
nyp.33433112006139	“ You do n’t, ” he said whimsically, when she finally stopped, “ you do n’t, by any chance, know The Maiden ’s Prayer? ” She laughed.

nyp.33433112006139	“ You received a letter of that sort and did not show it to me? ” said Jones, astonished.
nyp.33433112006139	“ You speak Russian? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112006139	“ You wo n’t object to my smok- ing? ” He began to roll a cigarette while they passed over him.
nyp.33433112006139	“ You would leave me? ” “ The moment you cross my will, ” emphatically.
nyp.33433112006139	“ Your master left a will? ” “ Indeed, I could not say."

osu.32435018041418	Why did he not wish to be independent last year?
osu.32435018041418	Why must this come to him now too late to do him any good, when he had needed it so much before?
osu.32435018041418	Why not let matters take their course?
osu.32435018041418	Why?
osu.32435018041418	Will you all please put out your lights?
osu.32435018041418	Will you marry me, Radnor? ” I laid a hand on Terry's arm and backed him, much against his will, into the corridor.
osu.32435018041418	Would it be too late to drive over to- night? ” “ Yes, ” said I, “ it would. ” “ Oh, very well, ” said he, good- humoredly.
osu.32435018041418	You do n’t suppose he ’s going to refuse her? ” he inquired in a stage whisper.
osu.32435018041418	You, yourself, I believe, hold the opinion that he committed the murder? ” “ I am sure of it, ” I cried.

osu.32435018041418	“ Am I to understand that you never made your conclusions known to Colonel Gaylord? ” the coroner asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ And Solomon tells me tales of the Colonel himself whipping the negroes — there ca n’t be any truth in that? ” “ But there is, ” I said.
osu.32435018041418	“ And did you take the securities also and the bag of coin? ” He waved his hand toward the safe.
osu.32435018041418	“ Can you give any reasons for your strange conduct? ” “ I have told you several times already that I can not.
osu.32435018041418	“ Did any negroes come in with you to re- cover the body? ” he asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ Did she run away? ” One of the men “ reckoned ” that “ Marse Rad ” had been whipping her.
osu.32435018041418	“ Did you believe that story when you first heard it? ” I asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ Do n’t you? ” he inquired.
osu.32435018041418	“ Do you mean he ’s dead? ” Rad repeated.
osu.32435018041418	“ Do you mean they were n’t there or you did n’t notice them? ” The sheriff and I looked at each other blankly, and neither answered.
osu.32435018041418	“ Do you think I could knock up one of the[ 260] TERRY'S CONCLUSION stable- men to drive me to the village?
osu.32435018041418	“ Does everyone in the South run away to get married?

osu.32435018041418	“ Good Lord, has n’t our family had noto- riety enough?
osu.32435018041418	“ Has anything happened to your father? ” He looked up with a start at the sound of my voice, and I saw that his face was pale.
osu.32435018041418	“ Has — has Polly Mathers heard that? ” “ Yes, ” I returned, “ I fancy she has. ” He struck the table with a quick flash of anger.
osu.32435018041418	“ He was in a hurry — why?
osu.32435018041418	“ How about the letter? ” he inquired.
osu.32435018041418	“ How are crops?
osu.32435018041418	“ How did that clock come to be broken? ” I asked a trifle sharply, thinking I had caught him in a bad piece of carelessness.
osu.32435018041418	“ How did the clock get broken? ” the cor- oner asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ How do you explain that? ” “ I do n’t explain it; it is none of my busi- ness.
osu.32435018041418	“ How much was taken? ” I SLEPT late the next morning, and*.
osu.32435018041418	“ How tall a man did you say Mose was? ” he called down to us.
osu.32435018041418	“ I believe this is my dance, is n’t it, Polly? ” he asked, joining us with rather an over- acted air of carelessness.
osu.32435018041418	“ I suppose you remember Nan? ” he inquired with an air of hesitation.
osu.32435018041418	“ It fell on the floor and broke. ” “ Have you often had quarrels with your father? ” “ Occasionally.
osu.32435018041418	“ May I have just a word with you, Mr. Crosby? ” he asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ Must I go on? ” he asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ My father? ” he asked in a dazed way.
osu.32435018041418	“ No, ” said Terry, patiently, “ not Mose. ” “ Then Who? ” “ That — remains to be seen.
osu.32435018041418	“ Now what do you make of all this?
osu.32435018041418	“ Oh! ” he said, “ you ’ve missed the money?
osu.32435018041418	“ Rad, what's the meaning of this? ” the Colonel demanded querulously.
osu.32435018041418	“ Since he was so infernally independent why did n’t he get to work and earn something? ” “ Earn something! ” I returned sharply.
osu.32435018041418	“ So now you ’re engaged to Mr. Mattison? ” “ Oh, no! ” cried Polly.
osu.32435018041418	“ So you ’ve been working too hard, have you, Arnold? ” the old man inquired, looking me over with twinkling eyes.
osu.32435018041418	“ Then after you had helped yourself to the money, the bonds were stolen by someone else? ” said the Colonel.
osu.32435018041418	“ Well, Terry, what's the news at the morgue today? ” I would inquire as we settled ourselves at the table.
osu.32435018041418	“ Well? ” said Terry sharply.
osu.32435018041418	“ What did he say? ” “ Oh, he was awfully angry!
osu.32435018041418	“ What do you mean? ” I repeated what Polly had said and I added my own interpretation.
osu.32435018041418	“ What on earth is that? ” Radnor laughed.
osu.32435018041418	“ What the deuce is the matter with his eyes? ” Radnor shrugged his shoulders.
osu.32435018041418	“ What was the trouble with Jeff? ” I Ven- tured.
osu.32435018041418	“ What ’s become Of Mose? ” “ Dat's moh'n I can say, Mista Ahnold, ” one of the men returned.
osu.32435018041418	“ What ’s the matter, Radnor? ” Polly cried.
osu.32435018041418	“ What ’s the meaning of it? ” I asked as we strolled slowly toward the house.
osu.32435018041418	“ What's happened to the horse? ” I cried.
osu.32435018041418	“ What's that? ” he asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ What's the matter with him? ” I de- manded.
osu.32435018041418	“ What's the matter with him? ” I gasped, more intent on the negro than the ghost we had come to search.
osu.32435018041418	“ What's the matter, Rad? ” I cried in alarm.
osu.32435018041418	“ What's the matter? ” he asked, a sudden look of anxiety springing to his face.
osu.32435018041418	“ When do you remember having seen it last? ” the coroner inquired.
osu.32435018041418	“ Where did he come from? ” “ Oh, he ’s lived here all his life — raised on the place.
osu.32435018041418	“ Where did you get that? ” Rad demanded.
osu.32435018041418	“ Where to? ” Terry laughed.
osu.32435018041418	“ Why Mose! ” I cried in amazement, “ what on earth are you doing here? ” He responded without raising his head.
osu.32435018041418	“ Will you shake hands, Patten? ” he asked.
osu.32435018041418	“ Would you rather go the short way over the mountains by a very rough road, or the long way through Kennisburg? ” I inquired.
osu.32435018041418	“ You believe me? ” he asked quickly.

nyp.33433076073745	And do I understand,asked the latter,"that the danger which you believe to threaten you is associated with Cuba?"
nyp.33433076073745	And he suspected that there was someone lurking about this house?
nyp.33433076073745	And it was?
nyp.33433076073745	And locked you out?
nyp.33433076073745	And may I accompany you, Miss Beverley? nyp.33433076073745 And no clue was left behind?"
nyp.33433076073745	And now, Inspector Ayles- bury,she asked,"what is it you wish me to tell you?"
nyp.33433076073745	And the burglarious entrance?
nyp.33433076073745	And these occurrences, will you tell me what they were?
nyp.33433076073745	And these sounds were repeated on other nights?
nyp.33433076073745	And they have not been well received?
nyp.33433076073745	And were they?
nyp.33433076073745	And what conclusion have you formed?
nyp.33433076073745	And what did you do?
nyp.33433076073745	And what firearms have you in the house?
nyp.33433076073745	And what had awakened you?
nyp.33433076073745	And what then?
nyp.33433076073745	And where was Ah Tsong?
nyp.33433076073745	And you ran down?
nyp.33433076073745	And you say they passed your door?
nyp.33433076073745	Answer me, Ah Tsong: who sent you?

nyp.33433076073745	Assuming her account to be true"Why should you doubt it?
nyp.33433076073745	At night?
nyp.33433076073745	At what hour?
nyp.33433076073745	At what time did you retire?
nyp.33433076073745	Before you proceed further, Colonel Menendez,said Harley,"might I ask when you left Cuba?"
nyp.33433076073745	Beyond the east wing?
nyp.33433076073745	Broke into the house?
nyp.33433076073745	Broken down?
nyp.33433076073745	Burglary?
nyp.33433076073745	But can you think of any reason why she should not have confided in Paul Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	But first tell me — how did Madame de Stamer get here?
nyp.33433076073745	But it is a fact that Colonel Menendez regarded him as an enemy?
nyp.33433076073745	But knows what?
nyp.33433076073745	But surely you demonstrated out there in the gar- den that he could not possibly have fired the shot?
nyp.33433076073745	But surely,interrupted Harley, incredulously,"you are not going to tell me that the menace of which you complain is of twenty years'standing?"
nyp.33433076073745	But tell me, does Madame de Stamer know yet?
nyp.33433076073745	But what has happened?
nyp.33433076073745	But what steps did you take to apprehend the murderer?
nyp.33433076073745	But what was the cause of her grief?
nyp.33433076073745	But you did not see him?
nyp.33433076073745	But you know that they took place?
nyp.33433076073745	But, Harley,I cried,"what appalling crime can the man have committed to call down upon his head a vengeance which has survived for so many years?"
nyp.33433076073745	But, my dear Harley, why should you want to leave the house secretly at night?
nyp.33433076073745	But, my dear fellow, what possible use can it be to you at Cray's Folly?
nyp.33433076073745	But, my dear fellow,I cried,"was Camber to fore- see that the floor of the hut would be taken up?"
nyp.33433076073745	But?
nyp.33433076073745	Calling her?
nyp.33433076073745	Can you imagine what a funny little thing I was?
nyp.33433076073745	Can you leave Madame de Stamer with safety?
nyp.33433076073745	Changed?—in what way?
nyp.33433076073745	Concerning Colonel Menendez?
nyp.33433076073745	Could you swear to that?
nyp.33433076073745	Could you try to explain?
nyp.33433076073745	Crying for help?
nyp.33433076073745	Did he come immediately?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you actually see this follower?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you actually witness any of the episodes which took place about a month ago?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you hear it, Knox?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you hear something?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you hear — that cry?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you leave the Colonel well?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you witness any of these?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you?
nyp.33433076073745	Do I understand that she imagined the sound to have come from this room?
nyp.33433076073745	Do I understand you to suspect that someone is desirous of harming you?
nyp.33433076073745	Do n't you understand, Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	Do we know the Colonel?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you know anything of Voodoo?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you know?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you mean that Mr. Camber comes here every day and is always fetched by the Chinaman?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you mean that you do n't know?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you mean that you had never spoken to him?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you really think she knows?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you recollect your first meeting with this man, Knox?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you still incline to the idea that he has been followed to England?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you think I do n't know why Mr. Harley is here?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you think his statement was un- true?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you think you can fuddle me with a mass of words, Mr. Harley? nyp.33433076073745 Do you want me to believe that you speak Chi- nese?"
nyp.33433076073745	Does she actually assert that he is dead?
nyp.33433076073745	Does your room face in that direction?
nyp.33433076073745	Doubtless the attempted burglary alarmed you?
nyp.33433076073745	Eh?
nyp.33433076073745	Exactly a month ago?
nyp.33433076073745	Fishing?
nyp.33433076073745	For God's sake, what has happened?
nyp.33433076073745	From the south?
nyp.33433076073745	Gentlemen,he said,"I trust you do not regret your fishing excursion?"
nyp.33433076073745	Geographically impossible?
nyp.33433076073745	Had he asked you to sit up?
nyp.33433076073745	Had she any explanation to offer?
nyp.33433076073745	Harley,I said, hesitatingly,"has this discovery surprised you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Has Colonel Menendez taken you into a little snuggery or smoke- room which faces his bedroom in the southeast corner of the house?
nyp.33433076073745	Has Colonel Menendez told you anything to account for it?
nyp.33433076073745	Has Mr. Camber lived for long in this neighbour- hood?
nyp.33433076073745	Have you had an opportunity of any private con- versation with Miss Val Beverley?
nyp.33433076073745	Have you no friends in England?
nyp.33433076073745	Have you spoken of this to Madame de Stamer?
nyp.33433076073745	He does not entertain very much, then?
nyp.33433076073745	He thinks, then, that you had been out in the grounds?
nyp.33433076073745	He was dressed, then?
nyp.33433076073745	He will never leave me, do you think, Colin?
nyp.33433076073745	His wife, then?
nyp.33433076073745	Holloa, Mr. Knox,she called;"I thought you had gone up the tower?"
nyp.33433076073745	How could I?
nyp.33433076073745	How did it penetrate the mosquito curtains?
nyp.33433076073745	How soon would you like your bath, sir?
nyp.33433076073745	I am advised that you de- sire to see me?
nyp.33433076073745	I can not, I cannot — unless"Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	I gather that you refer to a house in the country?
nyp.33433076073745	I have no information on the point,replied Harley,"but your manner urges me to suggest that perhaps success has crowned your efforts?"
nyp.33433076073745	I mean has she been told the truth?
nyp.33433076073745	I suppose he will want me to give evidence?
nyp.33433076073745	I take it, Harley, that you are convinced of Colin Camber's innocence?
nyp.33433076073745	I told you that the test of my theory, Knox, was to be looked for in the seventh yew from the northeast corner of the Tudor garden, did I not?
nyp.33433076073745	I understand that a regulation rifle was used?
nyp.33433076073745	I understand,whispered the latter with deep sympathy;"but you do n't think it makes any differ- ence, do you?"
nyp.33433076073745	I understood that no one had told her?
nyp.33433076073745	If I know the explanation, why do I come to you?
nyp.33433076073745	In Nice? nyp.33433076073745 In one year, in two, three, a swift pain comes, like a needle, you understand?
nyp.33433076073745	In other words, you were afraid of something or someone in Cuba?
nyp.33433076073745	In that event,replied Colin Camber,"why did he lease an adjoining property?"
nyp.33433076073745	In the corridor outside her room?
nyp.33433076073745	In the garden?
nyp.33433076073745	In what way?
nyp.33433076073745	In what way?
nyp.33433076073745	In which part of the house is your room?
nyp.33433076073745	Is Mr. Camber at home?
nyp.33433076073745	Is it possible that Colonel Menendez is dangerously ill?
nyp.33433076073745	Is it the regulation bullet?
nyp.33433076073745	Is my acting so poor?
nyp.33433076073745	Is she not wonderful?
nyp.33433076073745	Is that so singular?
nyp.33433076073745	Is that so, Juan?
nyp.33433076073745	Is that so? nyp.33433076073745 Is the Colonel's heart affected?"
nyp.33433076073745	Is the Guest House a large property?
nyp.33433076073745	Is your statement concluded?
nyp.33433076073745	It is this — Have you any idea who nailed the bat's wing to your door?
nyp.33433076073745	It woke you up?
nyp.33433076073745	Literally?
nyp.33433076073745	Madame de Stamer?
nyp.33433076073745	May I ask at what time this was heard?
nyp.33433076073745	May I request the privi- lege of ten minutes'private conversation with you?
nyp.33433076073745	May I request you to accompany Detective- Inspector Wessex and Mr. Knox to the Guest House by the high road? nyp.33433076073745 Might I ask, Mr. Harley,"he said,"what concern this is of yours?"
nyp.33433076073745	Miss Beverley is with her?
nyp.33433076073745	Most extraordinary,murmured Harley;"and you were in your night attire?"
nyp.33433076073745	Mr — er — Malcolm Knox?
nyp.33433076073745	Mr. Camber, I take it, is a literary man?
nyp.33433076073745	Mr. Camber,I cried, with concern,"are you unwell?"
nyp.33433076073745	My dear Harley,said I, patiently,"how could I possibly be expected to attach any importance to the matter?
nyp.33433076073745	My dear Inspector Aylesbury,concluded Harley, 288 Bat Wing"But whatever will happen if he persists in dragging me into this horrible case?"
nyp.33433076073745	My dear Inspector Aylesbury,said Harley, good humouredly,"surely you have grasped the lesson of experiment number one?"
nyp.33433076073745	My dear Knox,he said,"you may remember that I spoke, recently, of retiring from this profession?"
nyp.33433076073745	No doubt you have good reasons for this suspicion?
nyp.33433076073745	No sporting rifles?
nyp.33433076073745	No,I replied,"what kind of sound?"
nyp.33433076073745	No?
nyp.33433076073745	No?
nyp.33433076073745	Not afraid?
nyp.33433076073745	Nothing has occurred,asked Harley, slowly,"nothing fresh, I mean, to indicate that the danger which you apprehend may really culminate to- night?"
nyp.33433076073745	Nothing was stolen?
nyp.33433076073745	Nothing, Mr. Harley, if you have passed the Home Office report?
nyp.33433076073745	Now let me get this thing clear,said he:"Colonel Menendez believed that people called Voodoos wanted to kill him?
nyp.33433076073745	Now, Madame,said he,"you heard the shot fired last night?"
nyp.33433076073745	Of course you realize that there is one person in Cray's Folly who holds the clue to the heart of the mystery?
nyp.33433076073745	Of course, sir,he said,"I do n't want to jump to conclusions, but you are not by any chance trying to be funny at a time like this?"
nyp.33433076073745	Of despair?
nyp.33433076073745	Of what kind of bat, Colonel Menendez? nyp.33433076073745 Oh, I see,"muttered Inspector Aylesbury;"we shall know the truth, eh?
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, I see: you were awake?
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, Mr. Knox,cried the girl,"why do you en- courage her?
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, and now perhaps you will tell me, Mrs. Camber, when and where your husband first met Colonel Menendez?
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, in one or two particulars, eh? nyp.33433076073745 Oh, is it so evident as that?"
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, my dear,exclaimed Madame,"why be ashamed of arms?
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, then you realize that you are"Out of place here?
nyp.33433076073745	Oh, to the servants? nyp.33433076073745 On the point of entering the Tudor garden — you call it Tudor garden? — which is visible from the window of your room!"
nyp.33433076073745	Pedro,she said,"is the car ready?"
nyp.33433076073745	Perhaps you are not quite happy?
nyp.33433076073745	Perhaps you mean,I suggested,"that she seemed to become even less happy than before?"
nyp.33433076073745	Please forgive me but I can not help wondering how long you have been married?
nyp.33433076073745	Possibly the Colonel has not retired?
nyp.33433076073745	Professional jealousy?
nyp.33433076073745	Professionally?
nyp.33433076073745	Promises?
nyp.33433076073745	Really? nyp.33433076073745 Really?"
nyp.33433076073745	Remarkable?
nyp.33433076073745	Resigned to what?
nyp.33433076073745	Running?
nyp.33433076073745	She is young, then?
nyp.33433076073745	She sustained her injuries during the war, I under- stand?
nyp.33433076073745	Show me your evidence, Inspector?
nyp.33433076073745	So you went with her to Nice?
nyp.33433076073745	Some mem- ber of your household?
nyp.33433076073745	Strange footsteps?
nyp.33433076073745	Surely he is not leaving you?
nyp.33433076073745	Surely it is obvious?
nyp.33433076073745	Surely you do n't misunderstand me?
nyp.33433076073745	Surely, Mr. Knox, you are go- ing to replenish? nyp.33433076073745 Surprised me?"
nyp.33433076073745	Ten yards, twenty yards, a hundred yards, a mile?
nyp.33433076073745	That you had just come in?
nyp.33433076073745	The blow is a dreadful one,I admitted;"and Miss Beverley?"
nyp.33433076073745	The call of M'kombo? nyp.33433076073745 The floor of the hut?"
nyp.33433076073745	The full moon?
nyp.33433076073745	The late Colonel Menendez?
nyp.33433076073745	The shadow?
nyp.33433076073745	Then at least tell me why you stayed?
nyp.33433076073745	Then why are you here?
nyp.33433076073745	Then you believe his explanation to be false?
nyp.33433076073745	Then you think he knows its meaning?
nyp.33433076073745	Then, why, in Heaven's name did n't you tell me?
nyp.33433076073745	There is a distinct possibility that they are more than suspicions,agreed Harley;"but may I suggest that there is something else?
nyp.33433076073745	There's nothing further, is there, Innes?
nyp.33433076073745	Therefore Camber is guilty?
nyp.33433076073745	Therefore,continued Wessex,"I am waiting to hear, Inspector, where you found the bullet lodged?"
nyp.33433076073745	This belief of yours was recently confirmed by the discovery of the bat wing?
nyp.33433076073745	This took place late at night?
nyp.33433076073745	To Colonel Menendez's room?
nyp.33433076073745	To be sure, we have met before, I understand?
nyp.33433076073745	To what do you refer, Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	True,I agreed,"but is it impossible?"
nyp.33433076073745	Twenty years ago?
nyp.33433076073745	Two o'clock?
nyp.33433076073745	Very well, then, you were in your room when the shot was fired?
nyp.33433076073745	Very well,Harley agreed:"when and where did you meet the late Colonel Menendez?"
nyp.33433076073745	Voo- doo?
nyp.33433076073745	Voodoo?
nyp.33433076073745	Walked?
nyp.33433076073745	Was he really?
nyp.33433076073745	Was her room in darkness?
nyp.33433076073745	Was it prior to this discovery, or after it,asked Harley,"that you detected the presence of someone lurking in the neighbourhood of the house?"
nyp.33433076073745	Was the sound a loud one?
nyp.33433076073745	Was your door locked?
nyp.33433076073745	We look out on the south here? nyp.33433076073745 Well, my dear fellow, surely you observed that the bullet was embedded in the ninth?"
nyp.33433076073745	Well?
nyp.33433076073745	Were those her exact words?
nyp.33433076073745	What are they?
nyp.33433076073745	What clue have I withheld?
nyp.33433076073745	What did you do?
nyp.33433076073745	What did you do?
nyp.33433076073745	What did you do?
nyp.33433076073745	What did you find there, a dead rat?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you expect him to withhold?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean by consciously or subconsci- ously?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean by within or without?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean, Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean, Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean, sir?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean, sir?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean?
nyp.33433076073745	What does Mr. Harley think? nyp.33433076073745 What had you hoped to do, Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	What has happened here?
nyp.33433076073745	What have you seen?
nyp.33433076073745	What is Mr. Harley doing?
nyp.33433076073745	What is it, Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	What is it?
nyp.33433076073745	What is it?
nyp.33433076073745	What is it?
nyp.33433076073745	What is that? nyp.33433076073745 What is that?"
nyp.33433076073745	What is that?
nyp.33433076073745	What is this question?
nyp.33433076073745	What kind of cry?
nyp.33433076073745	What occurred?
nyp.33433076073745	What other, indeed? nyp.33433076073745 What part of the grounds were you in when the shot was fired?"
nyp.33433076073745	What possibility is that?
nyp.33433076073745	What sort of attempts?
nyp.33433076073745	What steps should you have taken?
nyp.33433076073745	What was that?
nyp.33433076073745	What was the shape of the shadow, then?
nyp.33433076073745	What were you doing?
nyp.33433076073745	What's that, doctor?
nyp.33433076073745	What's that?
nyp.33433076073745	What, do you suspect eavesdroppers?
nyp.33433076073745	What, you were there?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	What?
nyp.33433076073745	Where are you off to?
nyp.33433076073745	Where did you think the sound came from?
nyp.33433076073745	Where do you mean, Harley?
nyp.33433076073745	Where do you think it came from?
nyp.33433076073745	Where is the famous tower?
nyp.33433076073745	Where were you when the shot was fired?
nyp.33433076073745	Who can possibly have committed this cold- blooded crime?
nyp.33433076073745	Who that has ever held public office is without enemies?
nyp.33433076073745	Who was it?
nyp.33433076073745	Why are we talking about such depressing things on this simply heavenly day?
nyp.33433076073745	Why did he go to you in preference to the local police, the proper authorities?
nyp.33433076073745	Why do n't you advise me to remember Auguste Dupin?
nyp.33433076073745	Why do you say so, Miss Beverley?
nyp.33433076073745	Why do you say so?
nyp.33433076073745	Why not?
nyp.33433076073745	Why on the night of the full moon?
nyp.33433076073745	Why should it not?
nyp.33433076073745	Why sigh, Juan, why regret?
nyp.33433076073745	Why, in all ancient creeds, is Hades depicted as below? nyp.33433076073745 Why, indeed?"
nyp.33433076073745	Why?
nyp.33433076073745	Why?
nyp.33433076073745	Why?
nyp.33433076073745	Why?
nyp.33433076073745	Will you all turn your attention to the garden again, please?
nyp.33433076073745	Will you please step into the li- brary for a moment?
nyp.33433076073745	Will you show me round these lovely gardens?
nyp.33433076073745	Will you smoke?
nyp.33433076073745	With a ladder? nyp.33433076073745 Within a hundred yards, and you have no idea from which direction the shot was fired?"
nyp.33433076073745	Wo n't you be seated, Inspector?
nyp.33433076073745	Wo n't you join me?
nyp.33433076073745	Wo n't you tell me in what way?
nyp.33433076073745	Wo n't you tell me what it is that the Colonel fears?
nyp.33433076073745	Would not have you?
nyp.33433076073745	Would you like to tell me all about it,I con- tinued;"or would this merely renew your fears?"
nyp.33433076073745	Yes, but what was the nature of his conversa- tion?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes, you are curious?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes,said Harley, eagerly;"how is she?"
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yes?
nyp.33433076073745	Yet by what other hypothesis,asked Harley,"are we to cover the facts of your own case as stated by yourself?
nyp.33433076073745	You approve of the efforts of my chef?
nyp.33433076073745	You are aware, then, that there is something wrong?
nyp.33433076073745	You are beginning at last,suggested the Colonel,"to believe that my suspicions are not quite ground- less?"
nyp.33433076073745	You are certain?
nyp.33433076073745	You are from Cuba?
nyp.33433076073745	You are not going to tell me that you still persist in believing Camber to be innocent?
nyp.33433076073745	You are puzzled?
nyp.33433076073745	You are referring to Voodooism?
nyp.33433076073745	You are speaking, of course, of Colin Camber?
nyp.33433076073745	You are surely taking medical advice?
nyp.33433076073745	You are thinking that he has taken cover from the danger which he believes particularly to threaten him to- night?
nyp.33433076073745	You are wondering why the lingering sickness did not visit him?
nyp.33433076073745	You do not approve?
nyp.33433076073745	You had actual evidence of this?
nyp.33433076073745	You had no recollection of any dream which had prompted you to go down into the garden?
nyp.33433076073745	You have no idea from whence it proceeded?
nyp.33433076073745	You have not attended Madame de Stamer before, doctor?
nyp.33433076073745	You have remembered about to- night?
nyp.33433076073745	You have?
nyp.33433076073745	You heard what he said about Miss Beverley?
nyp.33433076073745	You knew it for a rifle shot?
nyp.33433076073745	You know him, no doubt?
nyp.33433076073745	You know my friend by name, then?
nyp.33433076073745	You know that he fears something, then?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean a stranger to the house?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean negro magic?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean she knows that he is a doomed man?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that Colonel Menendez is dead?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that a child born beyond reach of the sun's influence would have no soul?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that it is part of a specimen from some- one's collection?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that it recurs?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that someone who knows of these episodes in the earlier life of Menendez is employing them now for a secret purpose of his own?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that you do not wish to settle in Amer, ica?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that you have been frightened at night?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean that your suspicions rested upon an in- mate of Cray's Folly?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean whether or not she had visited Cray's Folly?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean?
nyp.33433076073745	You mean?
nyp.33433076073745	You must have been a wonder- child, Mrs. Camber,I replied with sincerity;"and Ah Tsong has remained with you ever since?"
nyp.33433076073745	You must have materially added to your informa- tion?
nyp.33433076073745	You note the direction in which he was facing when he fell?
nyp.33433076073745	You quite understand that you are giving evi- dence?
nyp.33433076073745	You realize, now,'I said, quietly,that she had anticipated the end?"
nyp.33433076073745	You recollect my speaking of the death of a certain native girl?
nyp.33433076073745	You refer to bodily harm?
nyp.33433076073745	You refer to his reticence on certain points?
nyp.33433076073745	You remember the silken rope- ladder with bamboo rungs which I brought from Hongkong on one occa- sion?
nyp.33433076073745	You saw no flash?
nyp.33433076073745	You saw this in the Colonel's eyes?
nyp.33433076073745	You see my point?
nyp.33433076073745	You think some real menace overhangs Colonel Menendez?
nyp.33433076073745	You told them nothing?
nyp.33433076073745	You were not deceived by a waving branch?
nyp.33433076073745	You will do what?
nyp.33433076073745	Your case?
nyp.33433076073745	tYou heard that question about Miss Beverley?"
nyp.33433076073745	- CHAPTER XXIII INSPECTOR AYLESBURY CROSS- EXAMINES OH, I see,"said Inspector Aylesbury,"a little private confab, eh?"
nyp.33433076073745	.Did I not, dear?"
nyp.33433076073745	118 Bat Wing"Then whose were the footsteps that Miss Beverley heard?"
nyp.33433076073745	184 Bat Wing"What steps did you take?"
nyp.33433076073745	185 186 Bat Wing"My God,"I whispered,"who was it?
nyp.33433076073745	188 Bat Wing"Has any one told her the truth?"
nyp.33433076073745	290 Bat Wing"Yes?"
nyp.33433076073745	34 Bat Wing"But surely,"I said,"such a visitation would awaken any sleeper?"
nyp.33433076073745	72 Bat Wing"Really?"
nyp.33433076073745	94 Bat Wing"Change my duties?
nyp.33433076073745	A Spanish Cigarette 201 Inspector Aylesbury is coming back at nine o'clock, is he not?"
nyp.33433076073745	Accordingly, when he presently brought me a fresh supply of hot rolls:"This has been a dreadful blow to you, Pedro?"
nyp.33433076073745	Allow me once again to suggest that we postpone this matter until, shall we say, after dinner?"
nyp.33433076073745	Am I asking too much?"
nyp.33433076073745	Am I right?"
nyp.33433076073745	And I became aware of great — lassitude, do you say? — whilst Valera's panting breath told that he had almost reached the end of his resources.
nyp.33433076073745	And because you as- sociate the activities of Voodoo with the full moon, you believe that the old menace has again become active?"
nyp.33433076073745	And have you quite convinced yourself that Colin Camber is innocent?"
nyp.33433076073745	And his wife is happy once more?"
nyp.33433076073745	And short of throwing a cordon round the hills what can be done?
nyp.33433076073745	And thinking he Inspector Aylesbury of Market Hilton 181 had been followed to England he came to you to see if you could save him?"
nyp.33433076073745	And what did you do?"
nyp.33433076073745	And who would no- tice a linnet when a bird of paradise was about, however sweet her voice?
nyp.33433076073745	Are you going to answer me?"
nyp.33433076073745	As I fear I am far from well, dare I hope to be excused if I retire to my room for an hour's rest?"
nyp.33433076073745	Be- sides, is it feasible?"
nyp.33433076073745	Be- sides, what other explanation can there be?"
nyp.33433076073745	Before we go any farther, why?"
nyp.33433076073745	But I may count upon your arrival to- morrow?"
nyp.33433076073745	But Miss Beverley could come out for a few minutes?"
nyp.33433076073745	But generally speaking you do n't doubt his innocence?"
nyp.33433076073745	But have you considered the mass of evidence against Colin Camber?"
nyp.33433076073745	But his sentences at times were oddly constructed; yet, save for a faint accent, and his frequent interpolation of such expressions as"how do you say?
nyp.33433076073745	But is it possible to believe that his genius would have failed him upon the most essential detail of all, namely, an alibi?"
nyp.33433076073745	But others to suffer?
nyp.33433076073745	But to proceed: Might he not have employed this door to admit a nocturnal visitor?"
nyp.33433076073745	But to what is all this leading, Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	But what did you learn to- night, Knox?"
nyp.33433076073745	But what, in Heaven's name, does your new discovery mean?"
nyp.33433076073745	But when first I came, you led me to suppose that you were departing from London?"
nyp.33433076073745	But why did he bring me to Cray's Folly?"
nyp.33433076073745	But you do n't seriously think, Harley, that the danger comes from there?"
nyp.33433076073745	But you say he went abroad on a second and more recent occasion?"
nyp.33433076073745	But —"he paused impressively—"I have told you of something The Voodoo Swamp 27 that was nailed to the hut of a certain native girl?
nyp.33433076073745	Camber?"
nyp.33433076073745	Camber?"
nyp.33433076073745	Camber?"
nyp.33433076073745	Camber?"
nyp.33433076073745	Can you doubt that someone was calling her?"
nyp.33433076073745	Can you give me any information about this man?"
nyp.33433076073745	Colonel Menendez was not visible to you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Could it be in obedience to the call of M'kombo?
nyp.33433076073745	Did anything disturb you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Did you enjoy your ride?"
nyp.33433076073745	Did you live in Nice before you came here?"
nyp.33433076073745	Did you see this bat wing?"
nyp.33433076073745	Did you think a woman lived who could perform such a deed, eh?
nyp.33433076073745	Did you think it was in the house?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do I make myself clear?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you begin to see the importance of my experiment with the lotus seeds?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you grasp the significance of this experiment?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you know?
nyp.33433076073745	Do you represent the late Colonel Menendez, do you represent the law, or may I regard you as a perfectly impartial enquirer?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you say that, a desperate doubt?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you say'haunted?'
nyp.33433076073745	Do you suppose that Colonel Menendez is ignorant of the fact that his nearest neighbour is a recognized authority upon Voodoo and allied subjects?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you understand, In- spector?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you wish that I proceed?"
nyp.33433076073745	Do you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Does he reside so near as that?"
nyp.33433076073745	Failed?
nyp.33433076073745	Fisher?"
nyp.33433076073745	Fisher?"
nyp.33433076073745	Following a few moments of silence:"Perhaps, Mr. Harley,"said the Colonel,"you have something further to say?"
nyp.33433076073745	For instance, was it near, or a long way off?"
nyp.33433076073745	Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	Has Aylesbury distinguished himself again?"
nyp.33433076073745	Has Miss Smith gone?"
nyp.33433076073745	Has he any idea, any idea whatever?"
nyp.33433076073745	Have I your authority to act for you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Have you an enemy?"
nyp.33433076073745	Have you any cigarettes?
nyp.33433076073745	Have you ever realized, sir, that sorrow is the price we must pay for joy?"
nyp.33433076073745	Have you met his wife?"
nyp.33433076073745	Have you seen the local officer in charge?"
nyp.33433076073745	Have you studied our host?"
nyp.33433076073745	He died in his sleep?
nyp.33433076073745	He moistened his dry lips, and:"You are returning — to Cray's Folly?"
nyp.33433076073745	He paused, as if waiting for some comment, and:"You mean that the shot came from above?"
nyp.33433076073745	He suffered no pain, you think?"
nyp.33433076073745	Hence the dagger and the rifle?"
nyp.33433076073745	His dexterity was astonish- ing, and seeing my surprise he raised his heavy eye- brows, and:"Practice makes perfect, is it not said?"
nyp.33433076073745	How can I move?"
nyp.33433076073745	How have you guessed?"
nyp.33433076073745	How often did they come over to bomb us, Val, dear?"
nyp.33433076073745	I asked,"you found it, Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	I awoke, I say, and where do you suppose I found myself?"
nyp.33433076073745	I could not believe that Harley would be guilty of such an in- discretion as this, yet who else could be walking upon the path below?
nyp.33433076073745	I cried,"have the ladies been awakened?"
nyp.33433076073745	I had pro- ceeded practically in a straight line from the sun- dial, and do you know where I found myself?"
nyp.33433076073745	I have just left Madame de Stamer""Yes?"
nyp.33433076073745	I hurried out to meet him, and as I appeared at the door of the library: 266 Bat Wing"Hullo, Knox,"he called, running up the steps"Any developments?"
nyp.33433076073745	I remember that I spoke very slowly as I asked him the question:"Whose is the lighted window, Harley?"
nyp.33433076073745	I said;"some kind of leaf?"
nyp.33433076073745	I take it, Mr. Knox, that you will grant my wife and myself the pleasure of your company at lunch?"
nyp.33433076073745	I think"—to Harley—"you expressed a desire to see the tower?"
nyp.33433076073745	I whispered,"im- mediately after the shot?"
nyp.33433076073745	I will repeat: Did you, or did you not, at about twelve o'clock last night, shoot, with intent to murder, Colonel Juan Menendez?"
nyp.33433076073745	I wonder how I can induce him to requisition Scotland Yard?"
nyp.33433076073745	If they annoy you, sir, perhaps you can explain this point which is puzzling me?"
nyp.33433076073745	In Madame's Room 25$"Also, someone broke in?"
nyp.33433076073745	In what way did these magi- cians, for a miracle- worker is nothing but a magician, differ from ordinary men?
nyp.33433076073745	Is he not a happy man who possesses all these?"
nyp.33433076073745	Is it not so?"
nyp.33433076073745	Is it something really interesting, or does he want a woman watched?
nyp.33433076073745	Is she also American?"
nyp.33433076073745	Is that it?"
nyp.33433076073745	Is there anything characteristic about the topmost room, for instance?"
nyp.33433076073745	Knox?
nyp.33433076073745	Knox?"
nyp.33433076073745	Knox?"
nyp.33433076073745	Knox?"
nyp.33433076073745	Knox?"
nyp.33433076073745	May I ask for the name of this person?"
nyp.33433076073745	May I sit down and talk to you?"
nyp.33433076073745	May I tell you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Might I ask, Mr. Harley, why you mention this matter?
nyp.33433076073745	Mr. Colin Camber rose again, and fixing his melan- choly eyes upon the newcomer:"Ah Tsong,"he said in a tone of cold anger,"what are you doing here?"
nyp.33433076073745	Mr. Knox will join us?"
nyp.33433076073745	Now, assuming his state- ment to have been untrue in one particular, that is, assuming he was not walking in his sleep, but was fully awake""Eh?"
nyp.33433076073745	Now, you have seen the direction of the wound?"
nyp.33433076073745	Of course, you had noted this?
nyp.33433076073745	Of what interest can this be to me?"
nyp.33433076073745	Out amongst all those trees, with a house that might have been built for a sounding- board, who could presume to say where either came from?
nyp.33433076073745	Pedro was in the hall, talking to Mrs. Fisher, and:"Is Inspector Aylesbury here?"
nyp.33433076073745	Perhaps, Mr. Harley, you would prefer to talk in the library?"
nyp.33433076073745	Replacing the hand- kerchief he cleared his throat, and:"Am I to understand,"he enquired,"that the late Colonel Menendez had expected to be attacked?"
nyp.33433076073745	Respecting to- night"—he shrugged—"what can I say?"
nyp.33433076073745	Sabby?"
nyp.33433076073745	See what that means?
nyp.33433076073745	She paused, staring at me with a sort of embarrass- ment, and presently:"Were the footsteps those of a man or a woman?"
nyp.33433076073745	She sighed, shrugged, and:"Tell me, M. Knox,"she continued,"it was swift and merciful, eh?"
nyp.33433076073745	Surely it is the cause of half the domestic tragedies in France?"
nyp.33433076073745	Surely not a British species?"
nyp.33433076073745	Tell me that, my dear?"
nyp.33433076073745	Tell me, Mr. Camber, where were you at twelve o'clock last night?"
nyp.33433076073745	That's not helping me very much, is it?"
nyp.33433076073745	That's why you wanted to examine the Tudor garden, is it?"
nyp.33433076073745	That's your attitude, is it?
nyp.33433076073745	The Inspector cleared his throat again, then:"There had been other attempts, I believe, at assassination?"
nyp.33433076073745	The Night Walker 101"And to what conclusion have you come?"
nyp.33433076073745	The Seventh Yew Tree 283"Then, Harley,"I said in bewilderment,"you do believe that Camber committed the murder?"
nyp.33433076073745	The Wing of a Bat 209"The police?
nyp.33433076073745	The bat wing nailed on the door?"
nyp.33433076073745	The front door was open, then?"
nyp.33433076073745	The moonlight of which I have spoken was shining fully upon this case, and does the burglar live who will pass such a prize and leave it untouched?"
nyp.33433076073745	The next thing is, what were you doing to- night, as I see that both you and Mr. Knox are still in evening dress?"
nyp.33433076073745	The shadow told you nothing?"
nyp.33433076073745	The'County'—do you know what I mean by the'County?
nyp.33433076073745	Then for twenty years these Voodoos have been trying to kill him?
nyp.33433076073745	Then he comes and settles here in Surrey and someone nails a bat wing to his door?
nyp.33433076073745	Then the Colonel Oh, but what am I talking about?"
nyp.33433076073745	Therefore, why should he not offer you every aid in his power?"
nyp.33433076073745	They annoy you?
nyp.33433076073745	This abrupt question rather startled me, but:"You refer to the Borneo hill- country?"
nyp.33433076073745	This spot is cool, but is it sufficiently private?
nyp.33433076073745	Underneath all her vivacity she is a tragic woman, and — oh, how can I explain?"
nyp.33433076073745	Val Beverley 51'Do you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Val Beverley 53"In what way?"
nyp.33433076073745	Was I unjust?"
nyp.33433076073745	Were you ever in the country of the HillDyaks?"
nyp.33433076073745	Were you, or were you not, an enemy of the late Colonel Menendez?"
nyp.33433076073745	What could it mean?
nyp.33433076073745	What did you do then?"
nyp.33433076073745	What do you make of it, Knox?
nyp.33433076073745	What do you mean?"
nyp.33433076073745	What do you say, Knox?"
nyp.33433076073745	What does it matter?
nyp.33433076073745	What had led him to make this sugges- tion?'
nyp.33433076073745	What has happened?
nyp.33433076073745	What has happened?"
nyp.33433076073745	What has made you so nervous to- night?"
nyp.33433076073745	What kind of bat?"
nyp.33433076073745	What was it?
nyp.33433076073745	What was the cause of this?"
nyp.33433076073745	What, have you been into the town?"
nyp.33433076073745	What, in Heaven's name, I asked myself, did it all mean?
nyp.33433076073745	What, you have been to London?"
nyp.33433076073745	Where did it come from?"
nyp.33433076073745	Where is Madame de Stamer?"
nyp.33433076073745	Where were you keeping watch?"
nyp.33433076073745	While you were running you heard a shot?"
nyp.33433076073745	Whilst I was still wondering if I had really heard this sound or merely imagined it:"Who goes there?"
nyp.33433076073745	Whilst you are doing so, would you kindly request Mrs. Wootton to extend the same favour to myself?"
nyp.33433076073745	Who was I to be influenced by the threats of natives?
nyp.33433076073745	Why did he think that?"
nyp.33433076073745	Why did you ask those ques- tions?"
nyp.33433076073745	Why should he hesitate to mention his name?"
nyp.33433076073745	Why, then, may not one embark in the West Indies and disembark at Liver- pool?
nyp.33433076073745	Will you be good enough to follow?"
nyp.33433076073745	With that he was off, eager- eyed and alert, the mood 246 Bat Wing"Can you?"
nyp.33433076073745	Wootton?"
nyp.33433076073745	Would you prefer to breakfast in your room?"
nyp.33433076073745	Would yourself and your friend honour me with your company at Cray's Folly for a few days?
nyp.33433076073745	Yet can you doubt that she knows?"
nyp.33433076073745	You are a man, Mr. Knox, and men, especially men who write, know more of women than they know of themselves, is it not so?
nyp.33433076073745	You are going to visit her?"
nyp.33433076073745	You are leaving?"
nyp.33433076073745	You are surely not going to suggest that this was the work of a burglar?"
nyp.33433076073745	You can throw no light on this matter, then?"
nyp.33433076073745	You do not think he was awake, eh?"
nyp.33433076073745	You know how familiar one grows with the footsteps of persons living in the same house?
nyp.33433076073745	You know?"
nyp.33433076073745	You may remember a somewhat elaborate report which I completed upon the eve of our departure from Chancery Lane?"
nyp.33433076073745	You recall his statement that he made an almost miraculous recovery from the fever which at- tacked him after his visit to the Black Belt?
nyp.33433076073745	You recollect his reference to a native girl who had betrayed certain information to the manager of the estate?"
nyp.33433076073745	You refer to some kind of hypnotic suggestions?"
nyp.33433076073745	You say the sound of the shot came from the east?"
nyp.33433076073745	You understand me?"
nyp.33433076073745	You understand?"

osu.32435057542136	And just above I saw a most astonishing house. ” “ Big one? ” asked Bat.
osu.32435057542136	And when he does come out, why does he look as if he was running away when he gits sight of anybody?
osu.32435057542136	And why?
osu.32435057542136	At times this is not only bizarre, but also astounding. ” “ Miss Knowles seems to be a fairly industrious lady, does n’t she? ” said Bat.
osu.32435057542136	But are they what they seem to be?
osu.32435057542136	But as it stands, I ’ve only got a good straight look at one thing that's at all plain to me. ” “ What's that? ” asked Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435057542136	But how are we to associate them?
osu.32435057542136	But start I did on that occasion. ” “ But why? ” and the dull eyes of the spinster were full of wonder.
osu.32435057542136	But what of the answer to them?
osu.32435057542136	But what's a fellow unaccustomed to such things to do?
osu.32435057542136	But what's the answer? ” “ The greater part of the Mexican population is mixed with Indian blood, ” said the crime special- ist.
osu.32435057542136	But, ” and he looked at Ashton- Kirk, earnestly, “ had it really anything on this town of ours?
osu.32435057542136	Do you mind my asking them? ” “ Why, no, ” she said.
osu.32435057542136	Do you remember? ” “ I heard both, ” said Bat.
osu.32435057542136	Eh?

osu.32435057542136	Is that too much for a woman to do?
osu.32435057542136	Is there any way of getting a light? ” A match crackled, then Kretz produced a candle stump from a niche in the wall.

osu.32435057542136	It'll stick around that quarter till sunup, anyway. ” “ Is n’t it delightful to understand the laws of Nature? ” said Miss Hohenlo.
osu.32435057542136	It's the air that does it. ” “ Makes them ill? ” smiled Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435057542136	Never when it is anything else? ” “ NO. ” Once more Mr. Scanlon considered.
osu.32435057542136	Now the middle of a roadway as a site shows carelessness, do n't you think? ” But the ancient refused to be side- tracked.
osu.32435057542136	Only for the moon we'd run over him. ” “ What was wrong? ” asked Scanlon, care- lessly.
osu.32435057542136	SPECIAL DETECTIVE 167 seen?
osu.32435057542136	SPECIAL DETECTIVE 65 “ Some stunner, eh? ” whispered Bat Scanlon to Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435057542136	So why worry? ” Ashton- Kirk opened a drawer and took out a folded paper.
osu.32435057542136	Straight on, did you say?
osu.32435057542136	Suppose it is dark?
osu.32435057542136	The Apaches were bad, but, ” and Bat shook his head, “ there was something worse. ” “ Yes? ” said young Campe.
osu.32435057542136	The banks are rather picturesque, do n't you think?
osu.32435057542136	The river bank, eh?
osu.32435057542136	Then, after a moment, he said: “ You will be careful of the strangers? ” Bat nodded.
osu.32435057542136	Things seemed to have shifted, some- how. ” “ In what way? ” asked Miss Knowles.
osu.32435057542136	We got word six hours later, and made good time after them. ” “ In the night? ” asked Miss Knowles.
osu.32435057542136	Were its nights deeper?
osu.32435057542136	What does she do out- side when all should be asleep but the dogs? ” “ You saw her one night, ” said Lena, speaking suddenly.
osu.32435057542136	What pos- sible connection has a delicate gilt harp with a mysterious noise in the night?

osu.32435057542136	What was she saying one thing for, and meaning something else?
osu.32435057542136	What were you doing? ” “ What I had seen done more than once before.

osu.32435057542136	Why does she walk about in the corridors at night?
osu.32435057542136	Why must it be done with the big blade from the tapestry room? ” But the other's mind seemed to be moving in another channel.
osu.32435057542136	You noticed it? ” “ Yes. ” The girl's blue eyes went to the speaker, full of interest.
osu.32435057542136	You'll not speak to him P ” “ About this?
osu.32435057542136	and look as if she'd got the shock of her life What's the idea of her wandering out among the hills at night?

osu.32435057542136	its silences more mysterious?
osu.32435057542136	what were his habits?—what interests, financial or otherwise, did he oppose? ” “ It looks like a large order, ” said Fuller.
osu.32435057542136	“ Always, ” she said, “ she does that. ” “ Well, ” asked Bat, “ what of it?
osu.32435057542136	“ And I felt like putting it to him as a question shaped something like: ‘ Why stay here when there's places where there's more folks?
osu.32435057542136	“ And it was after the receipt of this parcel that the sword was missed from its place upon the wall? ” “ It was, ” answered Bat, staring.
osu.32435057542136	“ And so you think it was Miss Grace Knowles, do you? ” “ Who else could it have been P ” demanded Bat.
osu.32435057542136	“ And such times? ” asked Bat.
osu.32435057542136	“ And who can be sure that its days of service are over? ” said she, with a smile.
osu.32435057542136	“ And who else screamed on the night Kretz met me on the stairs?
osu.32435057542136	“ Anything more? ” “ NO. ” Fuller left the room with hasty step; and Bat Scanlon nodded his admiration.
osu.32435057542136	“ Being so abruptly treated, ” inquiringly, “ I suppose he will not come again? ” “ You never can tell, ” replied Scanlon.
osu.32435057542136	“ But just where do I come in? ” he asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ But what is it? ” “ Here is another just like it, ” spoke Ashton- Kirk, “ and running the same way.
osu.32435057542136	“ But which, and why? ” As he could think of nothing to do in the mat- ter, he was turning away; but just then a thought struck him.
osu.32435057542136	“ But, ” anxiously, “ did you feel any- thing of him? ” “ It's rather wild firing in the dark, ” returned the crime specialist.
osu.32435057542136	“ Campe — Mexico — financiers? ” said he, at length, turning his head.
osu.32435057542136	“ Can it be some one doing a little hill climbing on a bicycle? ” was the big man's silent question.
osu.32435057542136	“ Did he take any of them? ” she asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ Do we need a watch inside?
osu.32435057542136	“ Do you have to listen to them often? ” The innkeeper smiled.
osu.32435057542136	“ Eh? ” said he, staring.
osu.32435057542136	“ For what? ” Ashton- Kirk shook his head.
osu.32435057542136	“ Funny, ai n’t it, how he should come asking after you like that, and you not know him?
osu.32435057542136	“ Getting on the nerves of the population, eh? ” said he.
osu.32435057542136	“ Has any one been hurt? ” “ No such luck, ” replied Mr. Scanlon.
osu.32435057542136	“ Has it never occurred to you to ask? ” “ Once or twice, ” replied Scanlon.
osu.32435057542136	“ He smiled, you say, and closed his eyes? ” “ And a couple of times he laughed, ” answered Scanlon.
osu.32435057542136	“ Hello, ” said Mr. Scanlon, “ who's this? ” With much industry, the stranger wrote in the little book; and never once did he lift his head.
osu.32435057542136	“ Hello, ” said Scanlon, in surprise; “ what's that? ” “ It's the gate, ” spoke Miss Hohenlo.
osu.32435057542136	“ How are you? ” cried Scanlon, shaking Campe by the hand.
osu.32435057542136	“ How d'ye do? ” asked the old man.
osu.32435057542136	“ How do you do? ” said he.
osu.32435057542136	“ How do you know? ” “ I feel sure of it, ” was the whispered reply “ Do n't lose your nerve, ” said the man, swiftly.
osu.32435057542136	“ How many of them are in on this business of the packet? ” was Bat's mental query.
osu.32435057542136	“ I hurried away to find the person whom I'd been seeking when you saw me strike the match. ” “ Well, were you successful? ” “ I was.
osu.32435057542136	“ I was called in to help, was n't I?
osu.32435057542136	“ I wonder, ” was his next thought, “ how Kirk doped it out that this fellow was in on our affair?
osu.32435057542136	“ If one man came out of the vaults, why not more? ” he asked himself.
osu.32435057542136	“ Is it possible that you never hear — from your window, perhaps — the whispering of the night? ” Bat laughed.
osu.32435057542136	“ Is it that he is anxious that nothing should happen to me; or is it that he wants nothing to happen to something else?"
osu.32435057542136	“ Is n’t he the thorough little ransacker, though? ” continued Mr. Scanlon, immediately interpreting these sounds.
osu.32435057542136	“ Is that all? ” asked the big man.
osu.32435057542136	“ Is this the only road that leads there?
osu.32435057542136	“ Just what are they like? ” The drawn man wiped his lips, and his thin, bowed shoulders shrugged.
osu.32435057542136	“ Just where does that fellow y?
osu.32435057542136	“ Just which of them do you mean? ” But Ashton- Kirk shook his head.
osu.32435057542136	“ No! ” “ You think a woman could n’t do it?
osu.32435057542136	“ Of what? ” he asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ Oh, dear, is n’t it very lonely out there? ” she said.
osu.32435057542136	“ Paul I? ” Once more came the creaking of hinges; another door had opened.
osu.32435057542136	“ Poor things; is n't it dreadful?
osu.32435057542136	“ Saw him last night. ” “ That so? ” Bat was unmoved, smoking calmly.
osu.32435057542136	“ So it was in Schwartzberg, as they said l ” he exclaimed, despairingly “ You never knew it, then? ” asked Ashton- Kirk.
osu.32435057542136	“ Stopping up at Schwartzberg, ai n’t you? ” “ Yes. ” “ Thought so.
osu.32435057542136	“ Suppose she has gone up there? ” said he.
osu.32435057542136	“ That you, Kirk? ” asked he.
osu.32435057542136	“ The mail now, does she do the same with that? ” “ Sometimes, ” replied the woman, “ when it is a package. ” “ Oh, ” said Scanlon.
osu.32435057542136	“ The man's still there, ai n’t he? ” he asked Campe.
osu.32435057542136	“ The sergeant- major's daughter? ” asked Ash- ton- Kirk.
osu.32435057542136	“ Things on top? ” “ A very big one, ” agreed the other.
osu.32435057542136	“ Too bad, is n’t it? ” remarked he.
osu.32435057542136	“ Well, ” said he, “ I wonder what's all that?
osu.32435057542136	“ What could it have been taken for? ” Bat took his eyes from the place where the sword had hung, and they fixed themselves upon the speaker.
osu.32435057542136	“ What did it smash for?
osu.32435057542136	“ What do you know? ” he asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ What do you mean? ” The big man studied the rug under his bent brows.
osu.32435057542136	“ What do you mean? ” “ I mean just that — the worst!
osu.32435057542136	“ What do you think we'd better do next? ” Ashton- Kirk pressed one of the series of call bells, then he lighted another cigarette.
osu.32435057542136	“ What do you want him to do? ” “ We are going into the cellars.
osu.32435057542136	“ What for, do you sup- pose? ” “ To allow some one below to come up.
osu.32435057542136	“ What happened to that lamp in the vaults yesterday? ” he demanded of himself.
osu.32435057542136	“ What has happened? ” she asked, rather breathlessly.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is it? ” asked Bat, anxiously.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is it? ” asked the big man.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is it? ” came the answer.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is it? ” he asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is it? ” she asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is there about Campe's place? ” asked the crime specialist.
osu.32435057542136	“ What is there to walking quietly down a dark hall?
osu.32435057542136	“ What now, I wonder? ” With the light foot and the stealthy manner, Bat had acquired the habit of suspicion.
osu.32435057542136	“ What's set you off on that? ” asked he.
osu.32435057542136	“ When it's a package, eh?
osu.32435057542136	“ Where can it be? ” asked Miss Hohenlo.
osu.32435057542136	“ Who is it? ” he asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ Who was it? ” asked Campe.
osu.32435057542136	“ Who would ever Have dreamed of such a thing? ” 22o ASHTON- KIRK From the courtyard there came a dull com- plaining sound.
osu.32435057542136	“ Why? ” “ Your nephew, ” said the big man, “ is a friend of mine.
osu.32435057542136	“ Wo n't you sit down? ” he asked.
osu.32435057542136	“ You see how it is? ” said he.
osu.32435017724634	* “ Tell you something? ” I echoed Kendrick.
osu.32435017724634	- “ Why — what's wrong? ” she asked.
osu.32435017724634	A charity kindergarten for sap- head bettors? ” Ikey could n’t flush; at least, you ’d never detect it on that sallow greasy face of his.
osu.32435017724634	All of them? ” She looked down at the almost- forgotten Dane, just beginning to sit up.
osu.32435017724634	Am I right in presuming that you have brought proof with you? ” The battle was on; no thought of grinning was within me now.
osu.32435017724634	And I was more embarrassed than she?
osu.32435017724634	And are n’t there a few important races yet? ” “ I ’m not with the Benton stable any more, ” I answered.
osu.32435017724634	And if I did fight, would I em- broil myself with the powers here, and would I get it in the neck harder than at Beaumont?
osu.32435017724634	And if there was, could I hope to buck?
osu.32435017724634	And on my way there, a thought came to me: why had n't Miss Leland suggested returning at once to the fortune- teller's and confronting Dane?
osu.32435017724634	And that he'll be elected to do what the present governor would n’t do — stop racing? ” I had to admit that it was even so.
osu.32435017724634	And the divil fly away wid that dirty, crooked, naygur- consortin'dawg Dane. ” “ Nigger- consorting? ” I queried.

osu.32435017724634	Are yoh? ” I shook my head.
osu.32435017724634	Are you going to hand it another? ” “ What do you mean? ” I managed to ask.

osu.32435017724634	Are you going to keep your mouth shut? ” He pursed his fat lips.
osu.32435017724634	At least I was so informed. ” “ Who informed you? ” I asked amazedly.

osu.32435017724634	I ’d have the end of the clue that would lead to the men “ higher up. ” And then — as Jerry had asked — what then?

nyp.33433082175757	Why? ” Vyvyan slipped the ring back in his pocket.
nyp.33433082175757	Why? ”"Well, he knows as much and more about mining engineering than I do and, believe me, I am no slouch at the game.

nyp.33433082175757	“ A dirty, stinking trick to get me, eh? ”.
nyp.33433082175757	“ A duel, is it?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Ah, it is food?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ All your own idea? ” “ Lord, no!
nyp.33433082175757	“ And a few more assorted lingoes? ” suggested Tom dryly.
nyp.33433082175757	“ And now, what next?
nyp.33433082175757	“ And rich, are n't you? ” Tom Graves felt slightly embarrassed.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Are n't you glad to see a face from home?

nyp.33433082175757	“ Did I? ” he asked, lighting a cigar.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Did somebody else warn you? ”"You bet.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Did you buy him out, Graves? ” “ You mean Truex? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433082175757	“ Did you buy him out, Graves? ” “ You mean Truex? ” “ Yes."

nyp.33433082175757	“ For the love o'Mike, what are you driveling about? ”"Wait.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Garrett says it's all right?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ God, man, ca n't you feel it?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Grandmother? ” exclaimed Tom.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Haben Sie was zu deklariren? ” a customs inspector, in blue with narrow gold braid, truculently mustached and bearded, asked of Tom.
nyp.33433082175757	“ How did you manage to get here? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082175757	“ How much, you damned rascal? ”!
nyp.33433082175757	“ How much? ” But Tom shook his stubborn red head.
nyp.33433082175757	“ How so? ” “ Impossible without long legal rigmaroles,"the lawyer corrected himself.
nyp.33433082175757	“ How's your litigation coming on? ” Tom welcomed the turn in the conversation.
nyp.33433082175757	“ I s'pose you are on your way there now? ” asked Lord Vyvyan.
nyp.33433082175757	“ I tell you it's going to be...""Verdun?

nyp.33433082175757	“ In disgrace?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Is n't it? ” replied the Colonel.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Is that you, Tom? ”.
nyp.33433082175757	“ John Good..."“ The fellow who keeps that ramshackle hotel and bar at the Crow's Nest?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Need a stake to start your developing work? ” he asked, slapping his check book on the table.
nyp.33433082175757	“ No, Herr Hauptmann! ” “ You have worked for the service in America, have n't you? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Now are you satisfied? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Oh, do n't I? ” “ You do n't.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Oh, you carry your munition along, do you?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Out of order?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Positive?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Remember if you'd see it again? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433082175757	“ Remember that last Brazilian Govern- ment order for locomotives?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Remember, Tom, a few weeks ago when I said I wanted to take you into my confidence? ”"Yes.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Sat in a poker game with that St. Louis brewer and held a royal against his four o'the kind and copped his wad? ”"Rather not.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Say, Baron, ” he went on,"are you sure the thing can be fixed? ”"Of course.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Say, Krauss, ” went on Tom,"I guess they'll be all dressed in their best soup and gravy at the Colo nel's, eh? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433082175757	“ See? ” he said, triumphantly,"I got me my little monkey- jacket.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Shall I mix you one in honor of the occasion?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Shall I put it in my safe for you? ” asked the lawyer.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Shall I sell? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082175757	“ So you did not take my advice? ” “ What advice?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ So you did not take my advice? ” “ What advice?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ So you got my message about the transfer of those ships to American registry? ”.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Surrender?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Take what off? ” “ Them duds, man!
nyp.33433082175757	“ Talk like a poet, do n't I?
nyp.33433082175757	“ The Baron...""A frame- up, eh? ” continued Tom, icily.
nyp.33433082175757	“ The winning card?
nyp.33433082175757	“ To keep your promise to that German Baron — and to get away from a girl. ” “ What of it?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ To the Baron? ”"To any German!
nyp.33433082175757	“ Tom, ” he said, picking his words with alcoholic precision, “ I'd rather be damned than shake hands with you. ”"Why? ” laughed Tom.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Tom, ” he said, “ are you sure you're all right?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Was fällt Ihnen denn ein? ” he snarled in his best, most explosive German.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Well — but when will they try me?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Well, Alec, ” asked the latter, anxiously, “ how's it coming on? ”"Punk.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Well- what do you want? ”"I want to go to Europe!".
nyp.33433082175757	“ Well? ” “ I asked him time and again.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Well?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Well?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What are you doing to- night? ”.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What d'you make of it?
nyp.33433082175757	“ What did they say?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What does that head- line say? ”.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What d’you mean there I am?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What ever do you mean, Tom? ” “ Go on!
nyp.33433082175757	“ What is it?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What is the matter, Tom?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What is the matter? ” Then, seeing Tom: “ Why-Tom...
nyp.33433082175757	“ What manner? ” “ That American slang of yours.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What of that?
nyp.33433082175757	“ What the devil...? ” He looked.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What — what has happened? ” Mrs. Wedekind's voice trembled.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What'll you have, gents?
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's biting you?
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's happened? ” laughed the Westerner.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's her name?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's the answer? ” “ The English for it?
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's the answer? ” “ The English for it?
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's the matter with you, old- timer?

nyp.33433082175757	“ What's up?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ What's your tipple, Tom, me boy? ” But Tom shook his head.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What? ” he asked.
nyp.33433082175757	“ What?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Where is her room?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Where to?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Where to?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Who are the witnesses?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Whom? ” “ That foreigner with the unpronounceable, double- barreled name!
nyp.33433082175757	“ Why did you come here? ”"To- to..

nyp.33433082175757	“ Why must I? ”"Because the Prince..."“ The fellow with the decorations and the grouch? ”"The same.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Why not? ” Tom was frankly astonished.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Why not? ” she asked mischievously, well knowing what the answer would be.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Why should I?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Why, Tom, ” she said, faltering a little,"you must not...""Must n't I?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Why? ” And Vyvyan explained that the German Govern- 306 THE MAN ON HORSEBACK But- Germany?

nyp.33433082175757	“ With Colonel Wedekind- in the most exclusive military clique of Berlin?
nyp.33433082175757	“ Wo n't I though? ” “ Of course not.
nyp.33433082175757	“ Yes, Colonel? ”"A few words with you, Lieutenant!"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Yes, Uncle?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ Yes, sir. ”"Well? ”"Baron von Götz- Wrede is calling."
nyp.33433082175757	“ You are Mr. Graves? ” he asked in English.
nyp.33433082175757	“ You are speaking the truth, Lamoureux? ” he asked, glaring at the other with his piercing blue eyes.
nyp.33433082175757	“ You do n't know when my court- martial's going to come off, do you? ” Mrs. Wedekind looked straight at him.
nyp.33433082175757	“ You do n't own control, do you? ”"No.
nyp.33433082175757	“ You know, I like you”-he blushed like a girl-"may I be your.."My second?
nyp.33433082175757	“ You know,"touching his forehead significantly, “ some of our Ger- man royalty are slightly- oh.."Loco?
nyp.33433082175757	“ You mean — you are leaving for good?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ You want to buy?"
nyp.33433082175757	“ You — a diplomatist? ” Tom laughed at the thought.
nyp.33433082175757	“ You- help me?
nyp.33433082175757	“ You? ” Again Tom laughed.
osu.32435055406540	, “ What sort of chest was it? ” inquired Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	- “ As a cause of death?
osu.32435055406540	- “ Is there anything, doctor, that throws any light on the man's disappearance? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	78 “ So you think, sir, that you see a way out for Ellis? ” “ I think there is a case for the defence, ” replied Thorn- dyke.
osu.32435055406540	And I should like to examine the room in which the murder took place — you have it locked up, I suppose? ” “ Yes, we have the keys.
osu.32435055406540	And why not have bought them both at the same shop?
osu.32435055406540	As for Ellis, he turned as pale as a ghost. ” “ Was any one else in the room? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	But are these tiny things really efficient?
osu.32435055406540	But how are we to get that glance?
osu.32435055406540	But it is very significant in another way. ” “ In what way? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	But the one that interests me most is the middle one. ”- “ Did n't Smith say that was Jeffreys ’ too? ” I said.
osu.32435055406540	But there were n't any squalls; the weather was quite calm. ” “ Was he all right and well when he put off? ” inquired Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	But we must have arrested Ellis in any case. ” “ Is there anything against the accused man? ” “ Yes, there is.
osu.32435055406540	But what sort of comrade was this stranger who was coming into his life?
osu.32435055406540	But, nevertheless, we will look for corroborative detail. ” “ What is that? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	By the way, doctor, could you watch the case for me?
osu.32435055406540	Coming down to take the bread out of our mouths, are you?
osu.32435055406540	Could I see it for a moment? ”- “ It is in the drawing- room, ” said the manageress.
osu.32435055406540	Could n't do anything else — especially with the general there. ” “ What had the general to do with it? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	Could this be a visitor?
osu.32435055406540	Could you give me an outline of the facts that are known? ” Thorndyke looked at me solemnly, but with a mischievous twinkle.
osu.32435055406540	Did n’t he realize that this was a case of life or death?
osu.32435055406540	Did you meet or pass any one? ” “ Yes, sir, I met a labourer about a minute before I saw the purse.
osu.32435055406540	Do n't you think so? ” “ Yes, I am afraid you're right, ” Augustus assented gloom- ily.
osu.32435055406540	Do you ob- serve the state of this handkerchief?
osu.32435055406540	Do you remember him? ” “ Yes, sir, very well indeed; in fact, it was him that y) “ I know, ” interrupted Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	For the question is, you remember, Who killed Oscar Brodski? ” “ Then what do you propose to do? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	For the question is, you remember, Who killed Oscar Brodski? ” “ Then what do you propose to do? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	Had he been mistaken?
osu.32435055406540	Had he been near the scene of the murder? ” “ Yes; he had been to Thorpe and would pass the gates of the avenue on his way back.
osu.32435055406540	He ca n’t have got back yet. ” “ Why not? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	He could n't have used it for a day or two before he went. ”- “ And are all these other pipes yours? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435055406540	He left this evening by the boat train. ” “ For Amsterdam? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	Hence the importance of picking up every fragment. ” “ But why? ” I inquired, rather foolishly, I must admit.
osu.32435055406540	I did so and then turned, with no little excitement, to watch him as he ex- 121 “ What items are they? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	I suppose there's nothing coming our way, Tom? ” Tom turned his face eastward and shaded his eyes.
osu.32435055406540	Is that not so? ” “ That is so, doctor, ” agreed the superintendent.
osu.32435055406540	It looked as if he had laid himself out a- purpose. ” “ Is there a level crossing thereabouts? ” asked Thorn- dyke.
osu.32435055406540	It was lying in the middle of the footway. ” “ Had any one else passed the spot lately?
osu.32435055406540	It was practically certain that the body had been seen; but what was happening now?
osu.32435055406540	It's the blood of a camel! ” “ Is that so, doctor? ” demanded the detective, leaning forward in his excitement.
osu.32435055406540	Know many people here? ” “ Not a soul, ” replied Bailey.
osu.32435055406540	Nor you, Frank, do you? ” Her husband shook his head gloomily, and Thorndyke replaced the handkerchief in the drawer.
osu.32435055406540	Now how were they broken?
osu.32435055406540	Now you ca n’t get finger- prints without fingers, can you? ” “ Undoubtedly you can, ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	Now, for what purpose could he want two identically similar knives?
osu.32435055406540	Now, had Pratt both hands free?
osu.32435055406540	Pipes do go mouldy in the damp air out here. ”- “ How soon does a pipe go mouldy if it is left untouched? ” Thorndyke asked.
osu.32435055406540	Pr'aps you'd like to come and see'em? ”- “ Why should I go to the Habitual Criminals Register? ” Pembury demanded faintly.
osu.32435055406540	Pr'aps you'd like to come and see'em? ”- “ Why should I go to the Habitual Criminals Register? ” Pembury demanded faintly.
osu.32435055406540	See that nobody touches it while I go and examine the meadows. ” “ Is Mr. Pratt dead, sir? ” whimpered Mrs. Parton.
osu.32435055406540	She stood for a moment in mute astonishment, and then, ooking from one to the other, demanded: “ Who are you?
osu.32435055406540	So you were off to give information, were you? ” “ No, I was n't Jeff, ” replied Todd in a choking voice; “ I was n’t, s'elp me, God.
osu.32435055406540	The knife was covered with blood, and it was found close to the body. ” “ What has been done with it, by the way? ” asked Thorn- dyke.
osu.32435055406540	The only question is, which house is it? ” “ Quite so, ” replied Thorndyke; “ that is the question, and a very difficult question it is.
osu.32435055406540	The question is, what could he have struck? ” “ Oh, there is nothing in that, ” said the captain.
osu.32435055406540	The question now was, would Ellis see the purse?
osu.32435055406540	The questions are, Whose knife was it?
osu.32435055406540	There is a footpath from it to the station. ” “ Are there any other houses near? ” “ No.
osu.32435055406540	There's been some hanky- panky in this job, sir. ” “ Foul play, you think, hey? ” “ Not a doubt of it, sir.
osu.32435055406540	These are Pratt's boots, I think? ” He lifted a pair of stout laced boots from the table and turned them up to inspect the soles.
osu.32435055406540	They wanted Ellis. ” “ And what did you do? ” “ Why, we arrested Ellis, of course.
osu.32435055406540	Those are the data; and now, what are the inferences?
osu.32435055406540	To begin with, that purse: where did you find it? ” “ On the Thorpe road, sir.
osu.32435055406540	Was there a letter hidden in it, after all? ” “ You overlooked the dust on it, Miller; that is all, ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	We're not ashore, you see, so there's no duty to pay. ” “ So you do n’t trouble the tobacconists much?
osu.32435055406540	Well, now, tell me: is there any one about here whom you knew when you and Pratt were together at Port- land?
osu.32435055406540	Were Ellis's visits only occasional instead of daily, as he had thought?
osu.32435055406540	What about the knife? ” “ Well, ” said Thorndyke, “ what about the knife?
osu.32435055406540	What about the knife? ” “ Well, ” said Thorndyke, “ what about the knife?
osu.32435055406540	What could have hap- pened on the line?
osu.32435055406540	What do you say to coming with me as adviser — as a matter of business, of course — you and Dr. Jervis?
osu.32435055406540	What do you say, Jeffreys? ” “ I say you'd better let me lower you with the tackle, ” replied Jeffreys.
osu.32435055406540	What does it say at the bottom there? ” and he pointed with his finger.
osu.32435055406540	What moral do you draw from that? ” Thorndyke turned the pipe over and looked closely at the mouth- piece.
osu.32435055406540	What then? ” Thorndyke opened a drawer and took out a photograph, which he handed to Miller.
osu.32435055406540	What was it that I had overlooked, sir?
osu.32435055406540	What would that represent in weekly property?
osu.32435055406540	Where did that tobacco come from?
osu.32435055406540	Whose blood?
osu.32435055406540	Whose knife was it?
osu.32435055406540	Why should you?
osu.32435055406540	Will that do? ” “ Thank you, ” said Boscovitch.
osu.32435055406540	Would there be any story left when the reader had all the facts?
osu.32435055406540	Yes, and, by the Lord Moses, since I ’ve got you here, why should n't I suck your brains? ” “ Exactly, ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	You change here too, do n't you? ” “ Yes, ” replied Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	You do n’t think it necessary, doctor, do you? ” “ Yes, I do, ” replied Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	You do n’t think it's necessary, doctor, do you? ” “ Yes, I do, ” replied the tall man.
osu.32435055406540	You have gotten a few grey hairs, I see, but after all, what are grey hairs to a man?
osu.32435055406540	You recognize this piece of string? ” He took from his “ collecting- box ” the little end of twine that had been picked up by the line.
osu.32435055406540	You remember Brodski? ” The tall man nodded, and the passenger, turning once more to the porter, said: “ I identify that umbrella.
osu.32435055406540	and what are you doing here? ” The inspector rose.
osu.32435055406540	and what was the connection between it and Ellis?
osu.32435055406540	and would they come to the house?
osu.32435055406540	mystery department still flourishing, what?
osu.32435055406540	what it looks like. ”- “ How did you learn all this? ” Thorndyke inquired.
osu.32435055406540	where are you off to? ” “ I ’m just going down to make the boat secure, ” was the reply.
osu.32435055406540	who can tell?
osu.32435055406540	“ And Mr. Hickler; are you expecting him home shortly? ” “ No, I am not, ” was the curt reply.
osu.32435055406540	“ And what does that prove? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Anything wrong? ” asked Mr. Boscovitch, addressing the station- inspector.
osu.32435055406540	“ Are you staying in town, Mr. Pembury? ” she asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Are you there, Frank? ” she called.
osu.32435055406540	“ At what time did you arrest Ellis? ” “ Half- past seven exactly. ” “ Have you ascertained what his movements were?
osu.32435055406540	“ At what time did you arrest Ellis? ” “ Half- past seven exactly. ” “ Have you ascertained what his movements were?
osu.32435055406540	“ At what time did you pick up this knife? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ But the knife, sir?
osu.32435055406540	“ But, I say, mate, where's the other man — the man that I ’m to relieve? ”.
osu.32435055406540	“ By the way, where did you find the hat, after all? ” “ We have n't found it, ” the inspector replied.
osu.32435055406540	“ Did n't you expect it to be shag? ” “ I do n't know that I expected anything, ” I admitted.
osu.32435055406540	“ Do n’t you see, my dear fellow?
osu.32435055406540	“ Do n’t you? ” returned Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ Do you find anything that throws any light on the case? ” the inspector asked, when the examination was concluded.
osu.32435055406540	“ Do you happen to have a dead guinea- pig? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Do you take any interest in gardening? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Gets chilly in the evenings now, does n't it? ” said Hickler.
osu.32435055406540	“ Handy with your knife as ever, eh?
osu.32435055406540	“ Have you betrayed him, after giving your word?
osu.32435055406540	“ Have you got such a thing as a piece of wire, Jeff? ” “ No, I have n't, ” replied Rorke; “ not up here.
osu.32435055406540	“ Have you seen him since you left Holloway? ” “ Yes, sir, once.
osu.32435055406540	“ How do you know it was not his own? ” “ By the appearance of the vulcanite mouthpiece, ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ How in the name of goodness did you know that there were whole- meal biscuits in the house, sir? ” exclaimed the station- master.
osu.32435055406540	“ How much? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ I do n't know, sir; he was rowing, and his back was towards me. ” “ Had he any kit- bag or chest with him? ” asked Thorn- dyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ I shall have to go up again tomorrow. ” “ Shall you come home the same day? ” asked the house- keeper.
osu.32435055406540	“ I suppose you do n't keep musk? ” he asked carelessly.
osu.32435055406540	“ I suppose you have n't made any mistake, sir? ” said Miller, stopping to wipe his brow.
osu.32435055406540	“ I think, Miller, ” said he, “ that I can give you a hint. ” “ Indeed, sir?
osu.32435055406540	“ Is Ellis with you? ” he asked, as he pulled up.
osu.32435055406540	“ Is Pratt dead? ” “ Seems to be, ” replied O'Gorman, “ but we'd better leave that to the doctor.
osu.32435055406540	“ Is he dead, Mrs. Parton? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Is that his umbrella? ” he demanded.
osu.32435055406540	“ Is that the missing boat? ” the captain sang out.
osu.32435055406540	“ Is there a hedge there? ” “ Yes, sir; a hedge on a low bank. ” “ Ha!
osu.32435055406540	“ Is there a sheath- knife on that strap? ” Thorndyke asked, pointing to a narrow leather belt.
osu.32435055406540	“ Is there any village or hamlet near? ” he asked the station- master.
osu.32435055406540	“ It is not; but it is valuable corroboration. ” “ Of what? ”- “ Of the suggestion offered by the soles of the dead man ’s boots.
osu.32435055406540	“ My word, Thorndyke, ” I exclaimed, “ here's a pretty mess! ” “ What is the matter? ” he asked, looking up anxiously.
osu.32435055406540	“ No, but the question is, whose are they? ” said the inspector.
osu.32435055406540	“ No?
osu.32435055406540	“ Now, ” said he, “ what kind of tobacco is in the pouch? ” The inspector took out a pinch, looked at it and smelt it distastefully.
osu.32435055406540	“ Say, now, Dr. Thorndyke, ” she exclaimed, “ have you gotten something to tell us? ” “ I have a suggestion to make, ” replied Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ Shall I show you?—but you know the way, do n't you? ” Certainly Mr. Pembury knew the way.
osu.32435055406540	“ There is n't any doubt that these spectacles belonged to the deceased, is there? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ They do n’t say they ’re my finger- prints, do they, sir? ” “ They do indeed, ” replied Thorndyke, eyeing the man narrowly.
osu.32435055406540	“ Were there any escapes from Portland in your time? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Were these spectacles found by the body? ” Thorndyke nquired.
osu.32435055406540	“ What about them? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ What did you notice about the face? ” “ I thought there was a strong suggestion of asphyxia. ” “ Undoubtedly, ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ What has made it so black? ” Thorndyke lifted the pipe out of the rack and looked at it closely.
osu.32435055406540	“ What have you been doing to your hand? ” asked the captain.
osu.32435055406540	“ What have you done with my husband, sir? ” she re- peated.
osu.32435055406540	“ What is it, Dr. Jervis? ” Miss Halliwell whispered.
osu.32435055406540	“ What is the case? ” He was about to reply when a sharp rat- tat from the little brass knocker announced a disturber of our peace.
osu.32435055406540	“ What is? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ What makes you think I am a man of means? ” he asked presently.
osu.32435055406540	“ What time was it when you last saw the boat? ” Thorn- dyke asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ What was the man like? ” asked the captain.
osu.32435055406540	“ What's her trysail like, Tom? ” he asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Where was the knife found? ” Thorndyke asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ Who ’s that? ” “ It's Mr. Pratt, ” replied Mrs. Parton.
osu.32435055406540	“ Why should n't you? ” “ Well, then, I will, ” said the captain, “ so here goes.
osu.32435055406540	“ Why, how the deuce could you see that chest half- a- mile away? ” The man reddened and cast a look of angry suspicion at Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ You are coming, I suppose, Jervis? ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435055406540	“ You are not pulling my leg, I suppose, sir? ” he asked, a little sourly.
osu.32435055406540	“ You have the dead man's property with you, I believe? ” said my colleague.
osu.32435055406540	“ You mean that there are signs of a struggle? ” said Fox.
osu.32435055406540	“ You noticed a small scalp- wound above the left temple?
osu.32435055406540	“ You observe that at Dockhead we find the peculiar combination 150 “ Would n’t it be as well to look at the tram- ticket? ” I asked.
osu.32435055406540	“ You observe, Jervis? ” he said in a low voice, and I nodded.
osu.32435055406540	“ You see, sir, ” he continued, “ it ’s a lonely life, and tobacco's cheap out here. ” “ How is that? ” asked Thorndyke.
uc1.b3728033	* “ May I present my father? ” he said.
uc1.b3728033	29& M tachment that Archie had formed forme?
uc1.b3728033	58 “ You are an American? ” he said, and I& judged he did not care for Americans.
uc1.b3728033	After that, what use to signal to Ro- mance?
uc1.b3728033	Am I right? ” “ I fancy so. ” “ Last Thursday afternoon you went to I 18& M) the Army and Navy Stores and purchased( ft. a revolver.
uc1.b3728033	And so — why not a spy in Scotland Yard?
uc1.b3728033	And that absurd Homburg hat?
uc1.b3728033	And the scarab scarf- pin?
uc1.b3728033	And when at last I saw with my own eyes the man who must, beyond all question, be Von der I55 tor, I was overwhelmed. ” “ Yes? ” said Bray.
uc1.b3728033	And, above all, what do the white asters signify?
uc1.b3728033	At last he spoke sharply: 7O- “ Just how, ” he demanded, “ did you happen to discover those messages?
uc1.b3728033	At the end he said: “ You were acquainted with the cap- tain? ” 53 “ Slightly, ” I told him.
uc1.b3728033	But are we any nearer to finding the murderer?
uc1.b3728033	Can you wonder that I went in the eve- ning to his rooms — went to plead with him — to beg, almost on my knees?
uc1.b3728033	Eh, Inspector? ” I32 “ Yes, ” said Bray shortly.
uc1.b3728033	Forever away?
uc1.b3728033	Have you been there yet?
uc1.b3728033	Have you considered the matter since?
uc1.b3728033	How did you happen to take rooms in this house? ” “ The first time I called to see the cap- tain he had not yet arrived from India.
uc1.b3728033	How well she succeeded may be judged from a speech made by her father that night just before dinner: “ Have you lost your tongue, Marian?
uc1.b3728033	Hughes Went On: “ Perhaps, as a clever detective, you will be interested in the series of events which enabled me to win that Homburg hat?
uc1.b3728033	I last heard of him in Interlaken. ” “ Yes?
uc1.b3728033	It brought forth this: DEAR DAUGHTER OF THE SENATE: Or is it Congress?
uc1.b3728033	Know what that means?
uc1.b3728033	May I add that, if you should ever need a friend, I am at your service? ” I was touched; I thanked him as best I could.
uc1.b3728033	One's liberty is well worth keeping — and then, too, be- fore the case ends, there will be wide pub- licity — ” “ Well? ” said I.
uc1.b3728033	Should he at once make known the eminently respectable person he was, the hopelessly respectable people he knew?
uc1.b3728033	Such has been your testimony to the police? ” “ It has, ” said I.
uc1.b3728033	There he spends his time, while up above the dust gathers in the corners — Does this picture distress you, my lady?.
uc1.b3728033	These were odd actions, surely; but was it my place to interfere?
uc1.b3728033	Were you think- ing of going home soon?
uc1.b3728033	What does it all mean?
uc1.b3728033	What does it mat- ter — a half- hour this way or that?
uc1.b3728033	What place had she held in the life — and perhaps in the death — of Captain Fraser- Freer?
uc1.b3728033	Where is the knife now?
uc1.b3728033	Where shall I look for a defense?
uc1.b3728033	Whispers — what?
uc1.b3728033	Who was Archief What was the idea?
uc1.b3728033	Who was the man in the hall, the man who had argued so loudly, who had struck so surely with that queer Indian knife?
uc1.b3728033	Who was this woman of mystery?
uc1.b3728033	Why should she come boldly to my rooms to make her impossible de- mand?
uc1.b3728033	Why? ” The lieutenant faced me, and I hope never again to see such a look in a man's eyes.
uc1.b3728033	Would he welcome an intrusion from me now?
uc1.b3728033	You seized it — ” “ Why suppose? ” the boy broke in.
uc1.b3728033	You were not in this room last night after I left? ” He turned angrily to the consta- ble.
uc1.b3728033	“ Are you quite certain as to the hour? ” I felt that she was smiling at me.
uc1.b3728033	“ How the devil do you know that? ” he cried.
uc1.b3728033	“ I ’ll keep this in mind. ” “ Have you communicated with my friend at the consulate? ” I asked.
uc1.b3728033	“ Know any one at your consulate? ” he demanded.
uc1.b3728033	“ Might it not have been later — or earlier? ” “ I am sure it was just after seven, ” I replied.
uc1.b3728033	“ What is it? ” asked the Texas states- IIl 211.
uc1.b3728033	“ What's up?
uc1.b3728033	“ Who are you? ” demanded the inspec- tor — rather rudely, I thought.
uc1.b3728033	“ Why? ” I found myself saying, and over and over I repeated it—“Why?
uc1.b3728033	“ Why? ” I found myself saying, and over and over I repeated it—“Why?
uc1.b3728033	“ Will you sit down? ” “ Thank you. ” He sat and gazed frankly into my eyes.
uc1.b3728033	“ You are the inspector? ” she asked.
uc1.b3728033	“ Your — reasons? ” I managed at last to ask.
uc1.b3579175	163 “ By Jove, I did, sir. ” “ Well? ” “ Well?
uc1.b3579175	163 “ By Jove, I did, sir. ” “ Well? ” “ Well?
uc1.b3579175	167 back on; d'ye see?
uc1.b3579175	237 know which is which, or one end from t’other. ” “ Do you mean to say she was abusing me, or what? ” urged Charles, very uncom- fortably.
uc1.b3579175	3 — very much — and who knows?
uc1.b3579175	? ” “ The best, ” said Harry, carelessly.
uc1.b3579175	And why, sweetheart, did n't you come down this morning 2 Was you ailing, child — was pretty Ally sick in earnest? ” “ A headache, sir.
uc1.b3579175	But is not the spirit of woman conquest?
uc1.b3579175	But where's Tom?
uc1.b3579175	Can you give me a glass of brandy?
uc1.b3579175	Come, I say, what the devil be ye afeared on?
uc1.b3579175	D – n ye, are ye tongue- tied?
uc1.b3579175	Do n't ye Come, say lass; do n't ye know there's none to compare wi'ye? ” “ Thank you, sir.
uc1.b3579175	Here is something paradoxical; is it?
uc1.b3579175	How can I pay ye back, my dear?
uc1.b3579175	I do n't know what we are to do; do you? ” “ You ’re too down in the mouth; ca n’t ye wait and see?
uc1.b3579175	I do n't know what we are to do; do you? ” “ You ’re too down in the mouth; ca n’t ye wait and see?
uc1.b3579175	I do n't think ye asked her ‘ How are ye? ’ since ye came back.
uc1.b3579175	If that were so, and should not he know best?
uc1.b3579175	Is not homage the air in which she lives and blooms?
uc1.b3579175	It'll be Master I know who ye’ll be looking arter? ” The young lady blushed deeply — the ques- tion was hardly shaped in the most delicate way.
uc1.b3579175	Poor little Alice I hope I have not made a mull of it?
uc1.b3579175	She to him — what shall I say?
uc1.b3579175	Wait a moment — who's here?
uc1.b3579175	Where's Tom?
uc1.b3579175	and you wo n't remember it against me?
uc1.b3579175	that's funny. ” “ And — what do you wish done with the bed and the furniture, sir?
uc1.b3579175	what do you think of her?
uc1.b3579175	“ About the old soger?
uc1.b3579175	“ And can I do anything, please, ma'am, below stairs?
uc1.b3579175	“ But what has turned up in that quarter?
uc1.b3579175	“ Darling, darling, ” was audible; and “ Oh, Ryl do you love me still? ” “ Adore you, darling!
uc1.b3579175	“ Do n’t you know, dear, if he is n't here he's somewhere else?
uc1.b3579175	“ Hey, is that all? ” said the young squire as he was still called at four- and- forty, throwing himself lightly into the saddle.
uc1.b3579175	“ May I say a word, sir? ” he asked.
uc1.b3579175	“ My darling, how can you?
uc1.b3579175	“ No Miss, no dear. ” “ You do n't seem to have much to trouble you? ” continued the young lady.
uc1.b3579175	“ No new faces! ” “ No, indeed. ” “ Are there any new neighbours? ” per- sisted the old lady.
uc1.b3579175	“ Obliged Not you; why should you? ” retorted Mildred Tarnley.
uc1.b3579175	“ On where? ” repeated he.
uc1.b3579175	“ That is what? ” asked her aunt.
uc1.b3579175	“ Well come, is there anything to tell? ” demanded the old lady, looking in her large, dark eyes.
uc1.b3579175	“ Well, lass, what brings you here?
uc1.b3579175	“ Well, there was nothing in that that was not kind and conciliatory, and common sense — was there? ” pleaded Charles.
uc1.b3579175	“ What to do there? ” said she, in a sharp, under tone, and with a decided foreign accent.
uc1.b3579175	“ Where? ” said Charles.
uc1.b3579175	“ Why, Miss Alice, dear, you're not frettin'for that? ” said Dulcibella.
uc1.b3579175	“ Would you please to walk in- my lady?
uc1.b3579176	'Twas an unlucky maggot bit him. ” “ Bit Who 2 ” “ What but the Divil brought Squire Rod- ney over here? ” PURSUIT.
uc1.b3579176	- “ Is he comin'this way? ” asked Mildred.
uc1.b3579176	? ” “ In that sense, yes, ” he answered cau- tiously, “ but, of course, we must have WOL.
uc1.b3579176	And do n't you think him a little better? ” she pleaded.
uc1.b3579176	And — did he strike her?
uc1.b3579176	But, dear Harry, you will ask yourself who else on earth has the poor devil to look to in an emergency but his brother?
uc1.b3579176	D you, who sent for him''Twasn't I. And — and who's master here?
uc1.b3579176	Do you smoke, Mildred? ”.
uc1.b3579176	Harry — here often? ” asked the voice at her bedside.
uc1.b3579176	How old are they 3 Eh — that's eighteen years ago — you hardly knew me when I called here? ”& 2 84 THE WYWERN MYSTERY.
uc1.b3579176	How would Alice look on him after it was over?
uc1.b3579176	I never failed a friend, as you will see, if only you be my friend; and why or for whom should you not?
uc1.b3579176	I think you are more friendly, eh?
uc1.b3579176	I'm tired, and — we're quite to ourselves? ” “ Yes, sir; but would n't ye better have beer? ” answered she.
uc1.b3579176	I'm tired, and — we're quite to ourselves? ” “ Yes, sir; but would n't ye better have beer? ” answered she.
uc1.b3579176	Is he at Wyvern? ” “ Well, faith, I ca n’t tell.
uc1.b3579176	Is this melancholy strength better, or the weakness that faints under the first strain of the rack?
uc1.b3579176	It wo n’t come to nothin’? ” “ If he comes up wi'them'twill be an up- and- down fight, I take it.
uc1.b3579176	No, I met him up near the stone. ” “ Not a coming? ” urged Mildred.
uc1.b3579176	Now gi'e me my beer. ” “ ” Twon't be nothin', Tom, do n't you think, Tom?
uc1.b3579176	Oh, my darling, my darling, what have I brought you into? ” AN UNLOOKED- FOR RETURN.
uc1.b3579176	Painted in hues of light was that dreadful crisis before his eyes, but how had it ended?
uc1.b3579176	So in she came, awfully frightened to find herself again in the house, but was not her husband there, and help at hand, and the doors secured?
uc1.b3579176	Then was the dreadful question, how will she bear it, and even worse, how will she view the position?
uc1.b3579176	Was he going quite mad? ”- “ My God help me, ” he muttered again and again.
uc1.b3579176	Was the woman there at all?
uc1.b3579176	What do you advise? ” “ I would advise your eating something, ” replied Mildred.
uc1.b3579176	What for need ye fear her?
uc1.b3579176	What is the state- room without a quiet mind? ” re- plied the old soldier, with an oracular smile.
uc1.b3579176	What should I do with- out you?
uc1.b3579176	What was to be done, if by any mischance or blunder of Tom's the master should thunder his summons at the hall- door?
uc1.b3579176	Who's to keep all straight and smooth wi'them that's in the house, and, mayhap comin ’?
uc1.b3579176	Why should she not open the door boldly and en- ter?
uc1.b3579176	Why was he not a little more or a little less wicked?
uc1.b3579176	the fire; have ye eyes in your head 2 Do n't ye see the kettle there?
uc1.b3579176	what makes her sleep so like dead?
uc1.b3579176	who's that? ” “ It's me, Tom, Mrs. Tarnley; and is he comin ’? ” “ I hardly knowed you, Mrs. Tarnley.
uc1.b3579176	who's that? ” “ It's me, Tom, Mrs. Tarnley; and is he comin ’? ” “ I hardly knowed you, Mrs. Tarnley.
uc1.b3579176	“ An- other reason quite, girl. ” “ And what the de'il is it?
uc1.b3579176	“ And how long since Harry married? ” inquired the smoker after another silence.
uc1.b3579176	“ And what is his real name, dar- ling? ” “ I ’m ashamed to say that Harry knows ten times as well as I all about my affairs.
uc1.b3579176	“ Better now, perhaps? ” “ Put a stool under my feed.
uc1.b3579176	“ But if you did tell lies, ” drawled the lady, “ even to me, what does it matter, if you promised to tell no more?'
uc1.b3579176	“ But poor mamma died when I was born, and oh, Dulcibella, do you think I shall ever see the face of the poor little thing?
uc1.b3579176	“ Do n’t you? ” said the “ old soldier, ” and elevated the brows of her sightless eyes, and screwed her lips with ugly ridicule.
uc1.b3579176	“ Harry Fairfield's wife, of course, what other?
uc1.b3579176	“ I do n't quite understand — done about what? ” inquired she.
uc1.b3579176	“ I say, ” she broke out, “ I do n't know the rights of it, how should I?
uc1.b3579176	“ In the field, the poplar field, all right — zpell? ”- “ Tom told you my message, sir, ” she asked, averting her eyes a little.
uc1.b3579176	“ Oh thank God, then you do think him better?
uc1.b3579176	“ The woman's insane; she's an evil spirit; many a time she would have brained me in 1 I?
uc1.b3579176	“ There's a green bag I have here, ma'am. ” “ A baize bag? ” “ Yes,'m. ” “ Give it to me.
uc1.b3579176	“ To whom? ” To no one — nothing — an imagi- nation.
uc1.b3579176	“ What am I to do with her now? ” thought Mrs. Tarnley, who was doubtful whether in this state she could be safely left to herself.
uc1.b3579176	“ What news of old Harry at Wyvern? ” asked the stranger.
uc1.b3579176	“ Where's the horse, sir? ” she asked after a glance at the saddle which lay on its side on the floor.
uc1.b3579176	“ Why did you let her go — why did you let them take her — d you?
uc1.b3579176	“ Why? ” “ Why?
uc1.b3579176	“ Why? ” “ Why?
uc1.b3579176	“ Ye did n't hear no noises in't, sure?"
uc1.b3579176	“ You wish you could kill me?
uc1.b3116799	Agnes is one of those accidents. ” “ And what good does Agnes do? ” Martin asked.
uc1.b3116799	And do you know why, my dear?
uc1.b3116799	And if Sally were not his enemy?
uc1.b3116799	And if not, was he in the mood to take a chance on some new girl?
uc1.b3116799	And that large mouth, so often grinning — surely there was humor there, and a lot of it?
uc1.b3116799	Besides, why search?
uc1.b3116799	But how could you test a person's friendship?
uc1.b3116799	But since something was expected of him he said: “ Green?
uc1.b3116799	But was it too absurd?
uc1.b3116799	C H A P T E R 6 “ Martin? ” Sally's voice crackled in his ear.
uc1.b3116799	Could a person of such integrity have embarked on a project that was not merely criminal but cruel, under- handed, and devious?
uc1.b3116799	Could such a person, even for the sake of deception, have authored the sneering viciousness of the two letters he had received?
uc1.b3116799	Could there be a flaw anywhere in this reasoning?
uc1.b3116799	Could you drop around to the studio tomor- row, perhaps?
uc1.b3116799	Did n't you raise the matter, Sally, my dear? ” Martin snubbed out the cigarette he had just lighted.
uc1.b3116799	Did she, in other words, realize that she had been murdered, and by whom?
uc1.b3116799	Do n't you think so, Mr. Pryor? ” “ Well, yes, ” Martin said, but only because he could think of no rational way to disagree.
uc1.b3116799	Do you know what that means?
uc1.b3116799	Do you see the idea?
uc1.b3116799	Does n't that ring any sort of bell? ” “ Very vaguely, ” Martin said.
uc1.b3116799	Dr. Finletter made a part[ 23] What could be more innocent- seeming than an “ accidental death ” on the way to or from some social function?
uc1.b3116799	Grace had made such an issue of the way he treated Eve: “ How can you possibly enjoy tormenting any- one so defenseless? ” she'd asked one time.
uc1.b3116799	Have you ever been to New Mexico, my dear? ” she asked Sally.
uc1.b3116799	Have you ever read any of his books? ” “ Well, I've read about them, ” Martin said.
uc1.b3116799	He knew that he could never harm her, whatever the circumstances, but how could she possibly know that unless he told her?
uc1.b3116799	He must do nothing to startle her — “ Is that my drink? ” asked Sally, materializing so suddenly that Martin jumped.
uc1.b3116799	He was proud of his self- discipline, was he not?
uc1.b3116799	How could I, for example, in a small place like this, have you get a package to me without there being a chance of your finding out who I am?
uc1.b3116799	Hudderfield? ” “ That's the one.
uc1.b3116799	I believe you have some pictures of me that I'd prefer not to have lying around. ” Would she deny it?
uc1.b3116799	I could stay late to clean up, this Thursday night. ”[ 65| “ You could? ” Martin asked, patiently awaiting develop- ments.
uc1.b3116799	In kill- ing Grace, had he utterly extinguished her ego, or had some part of it survived as a soul?
uc1.b3116799	It was really quite maddening; was there no being rid of her?
uc1.b3116799	Martin abandoned that line as unproductive and turned to the theatre: what plays had she seen?
uc1.b3116799	Maybe a sort of turquoise green? ” “ Perhaps, ” Sally said doubtfully.
uc1.b3116799	Or during the day on Friday? ” “ Probably Friday, ” he said.
uc1.b3116799	Or was he normally uncommunicative, and here was trying to hide behind a smokescreen of words?
uc1.b3116799	Other people paid purely social calls; why not he?
uc1.b3116799	Sally or Agnes?
uc1.b3116799	So he merely murmured a noncommittal “ Do you think so? ” and returned his attention to the figurine.
uc1.b3116799	Surely she could love him no less?
uc1.b3116799	Surely she realized how much he loved her?
uc1.b3116799	The blackmailer need n't have any- thing to offer, he merely threatens — and who is so weak as not to have a threat handy?
uc1.b3116799	There[ 162) moral means in order to get a little additional income?
uc1.b3116799	Trotter?
uc1.b3116799	Was it possible that she had not experienced an intensity of feeling comparable to his own?
uc1.b3116799	Was the blackmailer naturally a garrulous person?
uc1.b3116799	Was there some significance to be gleaned from this?
uc1.b3116799	What did she hope to be, for example?
uc1.b3116799	What does she have to do with Talbot? ” “ Nothing, ” Martin admitted.
uc1.b3116799	What would you suggest? ”- The figurine, about a foot high, was that of a coquettish-[ 73] looking colt.
uc1.b3116799	Which was perfectly just — but who on earth wanted perfect justice from his wife?
uc1.b3116799	Why should a man work if he did n't have to?
uc1.b3116799	Would she be frightened?
uc1.b3116799	have you been entirely honest with me? ” She frowned over the question.
uc1.b3116799	how could he be expected to be objective about such a choice?
uc1.b3116799	is n't Eve's new dress attractive? ” At the last moment he had decided that the nettle was a fragile thing, and might easily be crushed.
uc1.b3116799	still be available?
uc1.b3116799	‘ Professor Benson dwells at unnecessary length — Unneces- sary length, eh?
uc1.b3116799	“ A fifth of a cent? ” Benson inquired.
uc1.b3116799	“ Are you particu- larly fond of modern pottery, too? ” she asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ Are you serious? ” Ben- son asked bewilderedly.
uc1.b3116799	“ Are you working? ” he asked from the doorway.
uc1.b3116799	“ Blackmail? ” inquired Martin.
uc1.b3116799	“ But where did you put it? ” “ There was n't any place to put it.
uc1.b3116799	“ Bye- bye, Sally. ” “ You off? ” she asked over her shoulder.
uc1.b3116799	“ Can you lend me ten thousand dollars? ” The cigar stopped in mid- flourish.
uc1.b3116799	“ Did n't you know?"
uc1.b3116799	“ Did n't you sleep well last night? ” “ Not especially, ” Martin admitted.
uc1.b3116799	“ Do n’t you under- stand that I'm still afraid of any emotion stronger than that? ” she asked almost sulkily.
uc1.b3116799	“ Do people always have to be amusing? ” she asked finally.
uc1.b3116799	“ Do you find them amusing? ” Sally inquired.
uc1.b3116799	“ Do you know who they went out of their way to get to review my book?
uc1.b3116799	“ Do you remember him well? ”[ 52] “ Reasonably well, ” Martin said.
uc1.b3116799	“ Has she always been like this? ” he murmured.
uc1.b3116799	“ How did we get off on this subject? ” Benson repeated vaguely.
uc1.b3116799	“ How did you get off on this subject? ” he inquired.
uc1.b3116799	“ How is your hand?"
uc1.b3116799	“ How much do they sell for? ” Martin asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ How old does she think I am? ” he demanded of the night.
uc1.b3116799	“ I had n't realized that you were one of Agnes's champions. ” “ Are there others? ” Bill inquired.
uc1.b3116799	“ I thought you had no idea what they were all about. ” “ Are you teasing me? ” Wally asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ Important to whom?"
uc1.b3116799	“ Is anyone ever entirely honest with another person? ” she inquired.
uc1.b3116799	“ Is n't she a terror?"
uc1.b3116799	“ Now are you satisfied? ” Martin left.
uc1.b3116799	“ Perfectly true, ” Benson said, “ but what does that prove?
uc1.b3116799	“ Perhaps I do, ” Martin admitted, “ but this is too important. ” “ What is? ” Sally asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ Possibly the same ones you've overlooked in her hostess. ” “ Agnes? ” Martin said.
uc1.b3116799	“ Sally Teal?
uc1.b3116799	“ Sally, you realize that I would never do anything to hurt you, do n't you? ” he asked beseechingly.
uc1.b3116799	“ Then you wo n't help me? ” she mimicked.
uc1.b3116799	“ This is a very pretty horse, my dear, ” she informed Sally, “ but it has no roots at all. ” “ No roots? ” Sally asked faintly.
uc1.b3116799	“ Well, how about Thurs- day, then? ” he asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ What about some evening next week? ” he persisted.
uc1.b3116799	“ What about you? ” “ I would n't go home to be brooded over, so I went to New York.
uc1.b3116799	“ What color? ” Dennis thought about it for long enough to fill his pipe and[ 75] set it going.
uc1.b3116799	“ What the devil is her name? ” “ Mrs.
uc1.b3116799	“ What time are they supposed to be coming? ” “ You ’re a dear.
uc1.b3116799	“ What was it? ” he asked, obviously de- termined to solve the riddle or prove that the author's solu- tion had been ridiculous.
uc1.b3116799	“ What was that? ” Grace had asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ What? ” he squeaked.
uc1.b3116799	“ Whatever were you in such deep thought about? ” she asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ When did you make this? ” he asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ When would you imagine? ” “ Not too long after you got out of the hospital, ” he hazarded.
uc1.b3116799	“ Why do n't you tell her So? ” Martin gave due thought to this odd suggestion.
uc1.b3116799	“ Why do you waste so much of your time thinking about Sally? ” Grace wondered.
uc1.b3116799	“ Why? ” she asked.
uc1.b3116799	“ Will some- one suggest a non- controversial subject? ” “ Gossip, ” said Sally firmly, and started to busy herself about her work.
uc1.b3116799	“ Yes, Martin? ” “ Ah.
uc1.b3116799	“ You did. ” “ Did I? ” mused Benson.
uc1.b3116799	“ You ’re taking me home later, are n't you? ” she asked.

nyp.33433075799910	Did you see them?
nyp.33433075799910	Disappeared? nyp.33433075799910 Do n't kill her, mother, will you?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do n't you hear?
nyp.33433075799910	Do n't you see the boats?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know him?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know the man? nyp.33433075799910 Do you know what you remind me of?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you see her, Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you think I'd have done all that I have done, if I was n't sure of the result... as sure as I am that I'm alive? nyp.33433075799910 Do you think so too, Stephane?"
nyp.33433075799910	Does he know that I'm alive?
nyp.33433075799910	Does he live far from here?
nyp.33433075799910	Eh? nyp.33433075799910 Everything?"
nyp.33433075799910	Explanation? nyp.33433075799910 Fire on me?"
nyp.33433075799910	For what? nyp.33433075799910 For whom?"
nyp.33433075799910	Francois not there? nyp.33433075799910 Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Frightened of what?
nyp.33433075799910	Glad to be back?
nyp.33433075799910	Gone to look for me?
nyp.33433075799910	Happy? nyp.33433075799910 Has she spoken to you?"
nyp.33433075799910	Have they found the entrance?
nyp.33433075799910	Have you forgotten Maguennoc? nyp.33433075799910 Her ladyship did n't carry on too much?"
nyp.33433075799910	Here?' nyp.33433075799910 His schooling?
nyp.33433075799910	How am I wrong? nyp.33433075799910 How are we, Master All's Well?
nyp.33433075799910	How can you think...?
nyp.33433075799910	How could I have succeeded without his help? nyp.33433075799910 How could he?"
nyp.33433075799910	How did you know that?
nyp.33433075799910	How do we know?
nyp.33433075799910	How do you account for the resemblance be- tween the crucified woman and myself?
nyp.33433075799910	How do you know, mother?
nyp.33433075799910	How do you know? nyp.33433075799910 How do you know?
nyp.33433075799910	How do you know?
nyp.33433075799910	How do you make that out?
nyp.33433075799910	How do you mean, you do n't know?
nyp.33433075799910	How is it pos- sible? nyp.33433075799910 How should I know?"
nyp.33433075799910	How? nyp.33433075799910 How?
nyp.33433075799910	How?
nyp.33433075799910	I do n't know you, do I?
nyp.33433075799910	I say once more: how do you know that?
nyp.33433075799910	In that case,Otto remarked,"he is dead?"
nyp.33433075799910	In that case?
nyp.33433075799910	Is any help really possible?
nyp.33433075799910	Is it far?
nyp.33433075799910	Is it here?
nyp.33433075799910	Is it here?
nyp.33433075799910	Is it the God- Stone?
nyp.33433075799910	Is it worth troubling about?
nyp.33433075799910	Is n't Marie Le Goff there? nyp.33433075799910 Is that your mother's ring all right?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is there anybody behind the wall?
nyp.33433075799910	Is there anything to betray my presence? nyp.33433075799910 Is there one here?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is your signature here?
nyp.33433075799910	It was All's Well?
nyp.33433075799910	It's the ladder, is n't it?
nyp.33433075799910	Just so: why believe anything of the sort? nyp.33433075799910 Laugh at what, dear?"
nyp.33433075799910	Look here,repeated the boy,"why does n't Honorine come to set me free?
nyp.33433075799910	Lord bless me, yes, his son: why should n't I be? nyp.33433075799910 Lord, why?"
nyp.33433075799910	Mad? nyp.33433075799910 Madeleine Ferrand?"
nyp.33433075799910	Maguennoc? nyp.33433075799910 Maguennoc?"
nyp.33433075799910	No one in the tunnel? nyp.33433075799910 Oh, but you have n't killed him?"
nyp.33433075799910	Oh, why does she stay?
nyp.33433075799910	Oh,cried the Breton woman,"what's that?
nyp.33433075799910	On Vorski, yes; but surely not on me, his daugh- ter? nyp.33433075799910 On the other side of the island then?"
nyp.33433075799910	Only what?
nyp.33433075799910	Otto? nyp.33433075799910 Over there, to your island?"
nyp.33433075799910	Over there?
nyp.33433075799910	Pay up what? nyp.33433075799910 Perhaps he's ill?"
nyp.33433075799910	Really? nyp.33433075799910 Remorse, Madame Veronique?
nyp.33433075799910	She remained, of course, while you were away?
nyp.33433075799910	Shoot, ca n't you, you idiots? nyp.33433075799910 Shut up, will you, you old fool?"
nyp.33433075799910	So I shall see him?
nyp.33433075799910	So that you know nothing?
nyp.33433075799910	So we have your word?
nyp.33433075799910	So you do n't unduly regret the miracle of the God- Stone?
nyp.33433075799910	So you know me?
nyp.33433075799910	So you think she's like her?
nyp.33433075799910	So you want to know if that woman is my- self?
nyp.33433075799910	So, after all, Don Luis Perenna has not been in- formed?
nyp.33433075799910	Something? nyp.33433075799910 Still what?"
nyp.33433075799910	Still what?
nyp.33433075799910	Suppose I do?
nyp.33433075799910	The Druids?
nyp.33433075799910	The one hanging at the foot of the cliff?
nyp.33433075799910	The peo- ple of old of whom the legends speak? nyp.33433075799910 The people of old?"
nyp.33433075799910	The time we want for what?
nyp.33433075799910	Then he succeeded in doing so?
nyp.33433075799910	Then there is a stone,asked Patrice, almost chaffingly,"which can naturally give health and strength?
nyp.33433075799910	Then they take as a prophecy,said Veronique,"the words which I read on Maguennoc's drawing and again on the Fairies'Dolmen?"
nyp.33433075799910	Then they're ghosts?
nyp.33433075799910	Then what do you say it is?
nyp.33433075799910	Then what is?
nyp.33433075799910	Then what?
nyp.33433075799910	Then what?
nyp.33433075799910	Then who is it?
nyp.33433075799910	Then why did n't they come to the Priory instead of taking to flight in the boats?
nyp.33433075799910	Then why do you write it down?
nyp.33433075799910	Then you are still hoping?
nyp.33433075799910	Then you believe that she's a live woman?
nyp.33433075799910	Then you're still determined?
nyp.33433075799910	Then...?
nyp.33433075799910	There's nothing to delay us, is there, no obstacle? nyp.33433075799910 They live down here, though?"
nyp.33433075799910	Those who attacked you and Francois, there- fore?
nyp.33433075799910	To me?
nyp.33433075799910	Watched by whom?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, are we going to start?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, granting that they do find it, have n't we just blocked the exit on this side, broken down the THE ASCENT OF GOLGOTHA 237What's that?"
nyp.33433075799910	Well, was n't I here?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, what's up, old chap?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, you go first, Vorski.... What, wo n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	Well,she said,"what's preventing me?"
nyp.33433075799910	Well?
nyp.33433075799910	Well?
nyp.33433075799910	Were you- so fond of your Elfride as all that? nyp.33433075799910 What about petrol?"
nyp.33433075799910	What about the bridge?
nyp.33433075799910	What am I to do?
nyp.33433075799910	What are the miracles in question?
nyp.33433075799910	What are you afraid of?
nyp.33433075799910	What can have become of Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	What can you be afraid of, Honorine? nyp.33433075799910 What connection can there be between the people of to- day and those of long ago?
nyp.33433075799910	What did he do?
nyp.33433075799910	What did you expect? nyp.33433075799910 What do I care?
nyp.33433075799910	What do I mean? nyp.33433075799910 What do you call it?

nyp.33433075799910	Why in the Priory?
nyp.33433075799910	Why not?

nyp.33433075799910	Would you recognize that woman's hand?
nyp.33433075799910	You do n't mean that?
nyp.33433075799910	You had a child by him?
nyp.33433075799910	You know? nyp.33433075799910 You married a man called Vorski, who said he was a Pole?"

nyp.33433075799910	You see, mother? nyp.33433075799910 You suspect, of course?"
nyp.33433075799910	You villain, what have you done?

nyp.33433075799910	A mascot?
nyp.33433075799910	A ray of light blinded his eyes: and he spluttered, in alarm:"What is it?
nyp.33433075799910	A revolver?

nyp.33433075799910	All's well, is n't it?
nyp.33433075799910	Am I right?"
nyp.33433075799910	An enemy?
nyp.33433075799910	And Honorine was right, when she spoke of a fit of madness, and he will come back to look for me, wo n't he?

nyp.33433075799910	And be sure not to try and come in when the hole is stopped, eh, All's Well?
nyp.33433075799910	And how did you learn the story?"
nyp.33433075799910	And in view of what horrible task, of what monstrous duty?
nyp.33433075799910	And not a word, do you hear?
nyp.33433075799910	And she rapped out:"Are you sure?
nyp.33433075799910	And that stone is the God- Stone?"
nyp.33433075799910	And the God- Stone, what about it?
nyp.33433075799910	And then?
nyp.33433075799910	And this?
nyp.33433075799910	And was it not an unworthy curiosity that had prompted her to make the attempt?
nyp.33433075799910	And what a leader, eh, mother?
nyp.33433075799910	And what was he doing here?
nyp.33433075799910	And where was the de- serted cabin?"
nyp.33433075799910	And who drove bullets through my best Sunday robe?
nyp.33433075799910	And who was it that M. d'Herge- mont had apostrophized as a monster and a murderer?

nyp.33433075799910	Are you ready?
nyp.33433075799910	Are you ready?"
nyp.33433075799910	Are you thirsty, Vorski?"
nyp.33433075799910	Are your trousers on fire?
nyp.33433075799910	At what mo- ment did he manage to take our revolvers from our pockets and put them back after drawing the charges?
nyp.33433075799910	Besides, how could she resist the appeal of that voice?
nyp.33433075799910	Besides, if the worst came to the worst, have we not a last hope left?
nyp.33433075799910	Besides, what's the use of talking, mother?
nyp.33433075799910	But Con- rad and I would like a word or two of explanation?"
nyp.33433075799910	But I suppose that nothing fresh will happen between this and to- morrow?
nyp.33433075799910	But Veronique repeated:"Who taught it you?"
nyp.33433075799910	But at what enemy was she to take aim?
nyp.33433075799910	But how are we to go from here?"
nyp.33433075799910	But how did I come to give it to him?
nyp.33433075799910	But how do you come to be called Maroux?"
nyp.33433075799910	But how was she to pierce the impenetrable mask?
nyp.33433075799910	But in whose favor would he intervene?
nyp.33433075799910	But is there any need to seek so far and to have recourse to hypotheses?
nyp.33433075799910	But now that both of them were veiled, on which was she to exercise her good influence, for which to pray, against which to rebel?
nyp.33433075799910	But she said:"And you, Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	But suddenly a dreadful thought struck, her: had she not left her box of matches on the bridge?
nyp.33433075799910	But suppose it means death for him?
nyp.33433075799910	But the explanation only increased Vorski's alarm:"And how did he unload them?
nyp.33433075799910	But there was a dispute; and another, less strident voice grated:"Be quiet, Clemence, ca n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	But think, would you have been released?
nyp.33433075799910	But we can try to find out together.... Tell me, what was the name of that Breton village?"
nyp.33433075799910	But what do you think of the dagger- stroke which Vorski received in accordance with the mysterious orders of destiny?
nyp.33433075799910	But what would you have?
nyp.33433075799910	But what's to tell us that we shall have our share?"
nyp.33433075799910	But where and how did you come to know it?
nyp.33433075799910	But where is he?"
nyp.33433075799910	But who gave them to you?
nyp.33433075799910	But who had removed it?"
nyp.33433075799910	But who tied that little box of biscuits round your neck?
nyp.33433075799910	But why has he not left his shelter?
nyp.33433075799910	But why not abandon herself to the death that offered, death from starvation, from exhaustion?
nyp.33433075799910	But why, hang it, why?"
nyp.33433075799910	But you, Vorski, did you know that there was a way down there and a boat?"
nyp.33433075799910	But, I say, however could you take it all in?
nyp.33433075799910	But, all the same, there is something, is n't there, you dear little dog?
nyp.33433075799910	But, all the same...""All the same what?"
nyp.33433075799910	But, by Teutates, what more do you want, you unbelieving Vorski?- A miracle perhaps?
nyp.33433075799910	But, first of all, Stephane: what has become of him?
nyp.33433075799910	But, if so, how did his body disappear?"
nyp.33433075799910	But, look here, what's the matter with you?
nyp.33433075799910	By Teutates, god of the Gauls, is it you who ask me that question?
nyp.33433075799910	By what unprecedented marvel?
nyp.33433075799910	Ca n't a man have a quiet snooze these days, in this beasdy hole?"
nyp.33433075799910	Can I be happy again?"
nyp.33433075799910	Can it possibly be you?"
nyp.33433075799910	Can not we rely on the unaided genius and the inexhaustible re- sources of nature?
nyp.33433075799910	Can you take me to him?
nyp.33433075799910	Come, All's Well, tell me: where did you take the biscuits yesterday?
nyp.33433075799910	Come, answer me: what do you imagine?"
nyp.33433075799910	Come, how would you have a son who has just found his mother lose her again at once?
nyp.33433075799910	Conrad, is the stretcher ready?"
nyp.33433075799910	Curious, was n't it?
nyp.33433075799910	Did Conrad stick a dagger into his back, or was I playing the part of that diabolical personage?
nyp.33433075799910	Did any of our bullets touch him?"
nyp.33433075799910	Did he really know the secret of the God- Stone, the THE UNDERGROUND SACRIFICES 291 way to get possession of it and exactly where it is?"
nyp.33433075799910	Did n't he speak to you about it?"
nyp.33433075799910	Did that rascal of a Vorski leave you tied up?
nyp.33433075799910	Did they have an inquest?"
nyp.33433075799910	Did you hear that whistling sound?"
nyp.33433075799910	Did you hear?
nyp.33433075799910	Did you notice the eagerness with which Stephane flew to Francois'assistance?
nyp.33433075799910	Did you put them under there?
nyp.33433075799910	Did you see them fight?"
nyp.33433075799910	Did you send him on his master's tracks, as we arranged?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do n't you hear me?
nyp.33433075799910	Do we agree?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you accept?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you ap- prove, madame?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you hear anything?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know his name?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know the names of those four sailors?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know where he is shut up?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know who came to meet him?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know who it was, Vorski?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you know?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you realize whom you're speaking to?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you remember?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you see?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you think I'm going to disown my father as you did?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you think that, at his age, he could have kept us on the run like that?"
nyp.33433075799910	Do you understand what I mean?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you understand?
nyp.33433075799910	Do you want to go away?
nyp.33433075799910	Does he have lessons?"
nyp.33433075799910	Does it mean that we have a friend in the island, a friend who takes an interest in us?
nyp.33433075799910	Does n't it prove that that demon has a special power?
nyp.33433075799910	Does she expect me?"
nyp.33433075799910	Does she run as well as ever?"
nyp.33433075799910	Does the hang- man weep?
nyp.33433075799910	Don Luis, who was holding him between his knees, kissed him and asked:"Do you forgive me?"
nyp.33433075799910	For in- stance, do you know why I'm here?
nyp.33433075799910	For instance, what is your idea of the manner in which THE SECRET OF SAREK I substituted Elfride Vorski for Madame d'Herge- mont?"
nyp.33433075799910	For it's settled, is n't it; you want to die?"
nyp.33433075799910	For whom?"
nyp.33433075799910	For your master, for Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Four women crucified?"
nyp.33433075799910	From which side were they preparing to attack her?
nyp.33433075799910	Gertrude had plenty of strength left, for she was twisting Veronique's arm:"And Correjou?
nyp.33433075799910	Gertrude murmured:"And Honorine?"
nyp.33433075799910	Ghosts?
nyp.33433075799910	Give up my task?
nyp.33433075799910	Give us a kiss, wo n't you, daddy's missus?
nyp.33433075799910	Go and see what you can find in the larder, will you?
nyp.33433075799910	Going up to the newcomer, he shook hands with him and said:"You see, Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	Ha, ha, have I ever been your husband?
nyp.33433075799910	Had he followed Stephane Maroux in his inexplicable flight?
nyp.33433075799910	Had he forgotten?
nyp.33433075799910	Had he gone in search of as- sistance?
nyp.33433075799910	Had his memory lost every trace of the deeds done during his fit of madness?
nyp.33433075799910	Hair- restoring department?
nyp.33433075799910	Has n't he come?"
nyp.33433075799910	Have we actually a friend in the island, who knows us and knows Stephane Maroux?
nyp.33433075799910	Have you a bag of any kind at the inn?
nyp.33433075799910	Have you any, Conrad?"
nyp.33433075799910	Have you forgotten that he tried to touch the God- Stone and had to cut his hand off?"
nyp.33433075799910	Have you forgotten?
nyp.33433075799910	Have you the flask?
nyp.33433075799910	Have you the strength?"
nyp.33433075799910	He bent towards Veronique:"Will you be a queen, an empress, and soar above THE SECRET OF SAREK other women even as Vorski will dominate other men?
nyp.33433075799910	He burst out laughing:"Why not?
nyp.33433075799910	He came back, did n't he, and went away again?
nyp.33433075799910	He did n't know?
nyp.33433075799910	He ended by vituperating the enemy:"Stop, ca n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	He had long white hair, had n't he?
nyp.33433075799910	He listened:"What is it?
nyp.33433075799910	He looked at her passionately:"So you know?"
nyp.33433075799910	He pointed to the wicket in the door:"Do you see that wicket?"
nyp.33433075799910	He put a question in his turn:"Well, what do you offer me?"
nyp.33433075799910	He put them on the ground and said:"Well, had a pleasant journey, M'ame Hon- orine?"
nyp.33433075799910	He read it in front of us, saying, with an air of amazement,'Can that be it?
nyp.33433075799910	He realized that the three re- volvers had been made harmless, but how?
nyp.33433075799910	He said, in a low whisper:"Veronique, do you hear me?
nyp.33433075799910	He showed me a hideous sore: I saw it with my eyes, something like the sore of a cancer; and he suffered to that degree...""Yes?"
nyp.33433075799910	He swerved and grunted at the sight of a little black shape bounding along by his side:"What's that?
nyp.33433075799910	He took a long pull:*"Your turn, Otto.... What, do n't you want to?
nyp.33433075799910	He was now standing up: FRANCOIS AND STETHANE"Tou had the courage, the pluck?"
nyp.33433075799910	He was speaking truly, was n't he, Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	He whispered:"Is that you, Honorine?"
nyp.33433075799910	He's dead, is n't he?
nyp.33433075799910	Here, would you like me to give you a fresh proof?
nyp.33433075799910	Hesitating, ill at ease, not knowing with whom he was dealing, he asked:"Who are you?
nyp.33433075799910	Honorine had squeezed her hands with incredible violence:"What's that you say?"
nyp.33433075799910	Honorine joined her and insisted no longer:"Well, children, where's young Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Honorine listened greedily, but the murder seemed to give her no clue and she merely asked:"Who was it?
nyp.33433075799910	Honorine was waiting on the first floor, standing in front of the open door:"Ah, it's you, Correjou?
nyp.33433075799910	Horse- chestnuts?
nyp.33433075799910	How are you, old bean?"
nyp.33433075799910	How can I explain?
nyp.33433075799910	How could he have endured this ordeal, at his age, if he had not had that hope?"
nyp.33433075799910	How could she do other than look?
nyp.33433075799910	How could she do other than tremble with fear?
nyp.33433075799910	How could she fail to read a warning in the choice of the hill of the Great Oak for the torture of the three sisters Archi- gnat?
nyp.33433075799910	How could she rescue her father?
nyp.33433075799910	How could they do other than think of that inscription, of the words written ages ago on the pages of the missal and on the stone of the dolmen?
nyp.33433075799910	How did you get here?"
nyp.33433075799910	How do we know that Francois has not left his cell?
nyp.33433075799910	How indeed could she have suffered?
nyp.33433075799910	How is it they did n't kill you?
nyp.33433075799910	How should I forget you after- wards?
nyp.33433075799910	I ask you once more: what penalty did Vorski deserve?"
nyp.33433075799910	I can hear you breathing.... Why do n't you answer?"
nyp.33433075799910	I said to you, when I first mentioned the business,'Will you go to work blindfold?
nyp.33433075799910	I say, look here, you're not dead, are you?
nyp.33433075799910	I will tell you in a few words what has puzzled so many generations of mankind"Well?"
nyp.33433075799910	I've got the total.... Do you know how many there were in the boats, without my sisters and me?
nyp.33433075799910	I've not found my son again, have I, only to lose him?
nyp.33433075799910	I've shown you as much already, have n't I?
nyp.33433075799910	If so, how?"
nyp.33433075799910	If there's no one except ourselves on the island, what are you afraid of?"
nyp.33433075799910	In accordance with what inconceivable plans?
nyp.33433075799910	In what capacity?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is it you, Honorine?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is it you, Otto?
nyp.33433075799910	Is n't this what he meant when he talked like that?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is that so?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is that what you want?"
nyp.33433075799910	Is that why you hesitate to take me with you, for, after all, that's what we're concerned with?"
nyp.33433075799910	It was Stephane's turn to comfort her:"An obstacle?
nyp.33433075799910	It was an acci- dent, was n't it?
nyp.33433075799910	It was another woman, was n't it?
nyp.33433075799910	It was with the petrol set aside for the pur- pose, was n't it, and as arranged with Maguennoc in case of danger?
nyp.33433075799910	It's a dog, is n't it?"
nyp.33433075799910	It's easier to murder people than to bring them to life, what?
nyp.33433075799910	It's so, old chap, is n't it: we shall win and be united and live happy ever after?
nyp.33433075799910	It's you, is n't it, my darling?
nyp.33433075799910	It's you, the murderer?"
nyp.33433075799910	Lead us into a trap?
nyp.33433075799910	Leaning on a staff, he helped himself up and exclaimed:"What's the meaning of this?
nyp.33433075799910	Let us say that you owe it to me, shall we, and that I myself am granting you this unex- pected, I will even say, this unjust favour?
nyp.33433075799910	Life by my side, with all the joys and honours of life... or death?"
nyp.33433075799910	Look here, at what time did your thirtieth victim breathe her last?"
nyp.33433075799910	Lord, why did n't you say so before?
nyp.33433075799910	Maguennoc?"
nyp.33433075799910	Maroux?"
nyp.33433075799910	Maroux?"
nyp.33433075799910	Miracles?
nyp.33433075799910	Monsieur Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	Mother, you're not going to fire?"
nyp.33433075799910	Must I come and help you?"
nyp.33433075799910	My clothes?
nyp.33433075799910	Nevertheless the terrible syllables came from her mouth; and Veronique heard her stammering:"FOUR WOMEN CRUCIFIED"99"Eh?
nyp.33433075799910	Next morning, she said to All's Well, whom she had locked up to prevent his running away:"Will you take me there now my man?
nyp.33433075799910	No matter: we must live, must n't we, and we must n't go mad our- selves like the others?"
nyp.33433075799910	No?
nyp.33433075799910	No?
nyp.33433075799910	No?
nyp.33433075799910	Not yet?
nyp.33433075799910	Not yet?"
nyp.33433075799910	Now is it really worth your while to get out?
nyp.33433075799910	Now take twenty- six from thirty.... You understand, do n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	Now that you are here, are you ready to take de- livery of the goods?"
nyp.33433075799910	Now what was his object in that?
nyp.33433075799910	ON THE EDGE OF THE ATLANTIC 35"You do n't remember that they were Breton names?"
nyp.33433075799910	ON THE EDGE OF THE ATLANTIC 39"The future?"
nyp.33433075799910	Oh, by the way, where's Maguennoc?"
nyp.33433075799910	Oh, can it/be possible?
nyp.33433075799910	Oh, there's no one like Master All's Weill""All's Well?"
nyp.33433075799910	Oh, you hate me, do you?
nyp.33433075799910	Oh, you would rather have hell than a kiss from Vorski?
nyp.33433075799910	On failing to see his mother, would he not rather think of following the underground tunnel and Tunning to the Priory?
nyp.33433075799910	Open the door, will you?
nyp.33433075799910	Or for Honorine?
nyp.33433075799910	Or was it a THE KINGS OF BOHEMIA 319 case of murder, as some have held?
nyp.33433075799910	Or was it his dead body that they car- ried?
nyp.33433075799910	Ought I to have promised him only his life and handed him over to the police?"
nyp.33433075799910	Presently she moaned:"There's nothing to be done, is there?"
nyp.33433075799910	Presum- ably he was released like this at intervals, perhaps in order to eat and at night, for he ended by mut- tering:"So early?
nyp.33433075799910	Queen by right of gold and power even as you are already queen by right of beauty?
nyp.33433075799910	Resurrection de- partment?
nyp.33433075799910	Revela- tion of the future department?
nyp.33433075799910	Serious business, was it?
nyp.33433075799910	Shall I dance the ancient Druid dance for you, as I did before Julius Caesar?
nyp.33433075799910	Shall I help you put the things on board?"
nyp.33433075799910	She climbed four rungs and stopped:"Are you coming, Stephane?"
nyp.33433075799910	She drew the dog to her:"Two kind hearts, are they not, All's Well?
nyp.33433075799910	She examined him for two or three seconds, no longer, and suddenly, giving a start of terror, ejaculated:"Then it's you?
nyp.33433075799910	She had become a habit, what?
nyp.33433075799910	She kissed the dog and went on:"And whom were those biscuits intended for?
nyp.33433075799910	She remembered the corpse at Le Faouet and she stammered:"His right hand?
nyp.33433075799910	She repeated: ALL'S WELL 127"it's here, is n't it?"
nyp.33433075799910	She rushed to the door, drew the bolt, tried to open it; but what could she do against that massive, iron- clad door?
nyp.33433075799910	She saw the two boys, it was true; but which of them was Francois and which was Raynold?
nyp.33433075799910	She shrugged her shoulders, however:"Well?
nyp.33433075799910	She was utterly overwhelmed:"Why did I come here?"
nyp.33433075799910	Should she make use of it?
nyp.33433075799910	So do you, Patrice, do n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	So what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433075799910	So what then?
nyp.33433075799910	So you hoped to find me here?"
nyp.33433075799910	So you knew me?
nyp.33433075799910	So you still refuse to tell us where Francois is hidden?"
nyp.33433075799910	So you were threatened too; and the first attack was made on you, mother?
nyp.33433075799910	So you're still of the same mind, eh, old chap?
nyp.33433075799910	So — do you follow me?
nyp.33433075799910	Some obstacle which he did not foresee?"
nyp.33433075799910	Something gone wrong?
nyp.33433075799910	St. Augustine?
nyp.33433075799910	Stephane, I can safely leave him in your charge, ca n't I?
nyp.33433075799910	Stephane, leaping to her side, said: 167 168 THE SECRET OF SAREK"Good heavens, what have you done?
nyp.33433075799910	Still, why should she conceal the truth?
nyp.33433075799910	Suppose I bring him here, before you, your Francois, and put the knife to his throat and ask you for the last time, what will your answer be?"
nyp.33433075799910	Suppose we fired at him, Conrad?"
nyp.33433075799910	Surely you do n't hate me as much as all that?"
nyp.33433075799910	THE ESCAPE 193"But how are we to get down?
nyp.33433075799910	THE GOD- STONE"And then — and this is what I was coming to — what name will he bear himself?"
nyp.33433075799910	THE SECRET OF SAREK"No, Francois is never ill.""What then?"
nyp.33433075799910	THE UNDERGROUND SACRIFICES 303"There's no hiding- place on that side?"
nyp.33433075799910	Taken aback, the other asked:"What's the matter?"
nyp.33433075799910	That is why I want you to an- swer me honestly: do you consider that Vorski de- serves to die?"
nyp.33433075799910	That's what you think, All's Well?
nyp.33433075799910	The Druids: is that what you mean?
nyp.33433075799910	The ancient Druid's a smart chap and you're coming with him, are n't you?"
nyp.33433075799910	The ancient Druid, for instance: is he dead or alive?
nyp.33433075799910	The ancient Druid, without giving him time to re- cover his breath and reply, went on:"That staggers you, eh?
nyp.33433075799910	The boy whispered:"What's that in your hand?
nyp.33433075799910	The boy who planted veronicas round the Calvary of Flowers and who wrote,'Mother's flowers,'is not guilty, is he?
nyp.33433075799910	The old story of the coffins and the crosses, I suppose?"
nyp.33433075799910	The real words remain to be spoken, those which count; for you admit that, so far, all that I have said is mere verbi- age, what?
nyp.33433075799910	The slave; and why not?
nyp.33433075799910	The swas- tika, the leading cabalistic symbol, eh, what?
nyp.33433075799910	The total's correct, is n't it?
nyp.33433075799910	Then again, did he commit suicide?
nyp.33433075799910	Then for Monsieur Stephane perhaps?"
nyp.33433075799910	Then had not all the inhabitants taken to flight?
nyp.33433075799910	Then how did Maguennoc get across?
nyp.33433075799910	Then the two islands communicate?"
nyp.33433075799910	Then we'll pick up Stephane, who of course will be waiting for us on some strip of beach, and we'll all be off, wo n't we, All's Well?
nyp.33433075799910	Then what is it?
nyp.33433075799910	Then why worry?"
nyp.33433075799910	Then you can explain all this riddle to me?"
nyp.33433075799910	Then you do n't know me?
nyp.33433075799910	Then, after a moment, in a much lower voice:"Did you come with some one?"
nyp.33433075799910	There must be some one here then?"
nyp.33433075799910	There's nothing to take on about, is there?'
nyp.33433075799910	Therefore, as you are CRUEL PRINCE 347"Uncomfortable?"
nyp.33433075799910	They flung themselves into each other's arms:"Oh, mother, mother, is it really true?
nyp.33433075799910	This time Veronique appeared stupefied:"What are you hinting?"
nyp.33433075799910	To Le Faouet, perhaps?
nyp.33433075799910	To St. Barbe's Chapel?"
nyp.33433075799910	To call me by my name, me, me?"
nyp.33433075799910	To let her off?
nyp.33433075799910	To the Priory?
nyp.33433075799910	To the sub- marine?
nyp.33433075799910	To what do they all refer, those legends of which I know nothing except from Honorine's delirium and the distress of the sisters Archignat?"
nyp.33433075799910	To whom does it be- long?"
nyp.33433075799910	Tricked?
nyp.33433075799910	VORSKFS SON 47"Whom does he play with?
nyp.33433075799910	Venting his rage in the stupid fashion that was his habit, he was stamping on the piece of stuff, when a thought struck him:"Why?
nyp.33433075799910	Veronique continued:"What do you propose to do, Honorine?"
nyp.33433075799910	Veronique looked at her son:"Left the island?"
nyp.33433075799910	Veronique once more shrugged her shoulders:"How do you know?"
nyp.33433075799910	Veronique said, with a sort of dread:"Coffin Island?"
nyp.33433075799910	Vorski eyed him with renewed uneasiness:"Velleda?"
nyp.33433075799910	Vorski laid violent hands on his accomplice:"What's this?
nyp.33433075799910	Vorski shrugged his shoulders:"And you, Otto, are you afraid too?"
nyp.33433075799910	Vorski stammered:"Shall I be free?"
nyp.33433075799910	Vorski's slave, but mistress of all those over whom Vorski holds sway?
nyp.33433075799910	Vorski, would you like to see something that does n't exist?
nyp.33433075799910	Was he on his guard?
nyp.33433075799910	Was he thinking of seizing him in his arms and crushing the life out of him?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it a sign set up by one person with the object of guiding the steps of another?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it her son's voice that she heard?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it here that her son was to fight?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it his plan to save Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it of his own free will?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it our turn next?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it really, as the official version stated, suicide following on a fit of madness?
nyp.33433075799910	Was it to be presumed that one or more of their accomplices were left on the island?
nyp.33433075799910	Was she to believe that he was back and in hiding?
nyp.33433075799910	Was this Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Was this Raynold?
nyp.33433075799910	We're agreed all round, are n't we?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, Otto, what news?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, Stephane, where do we stand?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, Vorski, are you afraid?"
nyp.33433075799910	Well, did nothing happen?"
nyp.33433075799910	Well, how many of them do you think there are?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, is it a bargain?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, what can I say?
nyp.33433075799910	Well, what did you see?"
nyp.33433075799910	Were they spirits of darkness, malevolent genii, priests of a dead religion, sacrificing men, women and children to their blood- thirsty gods?
nyp.33433075799910	What about Francois?"
nyp.33433075799910	What about, you pudding- head?
nyp.33433075799910	What are the letters?"
nyp.33433075799910	What are they?"
nyp.33433075799910	What are we to do with it?
nyp.33433075799910	What are you driving at?"
nyp.33433075799910	What are you here for?
nyp.33433075799910	What are you looking at over there?
nyp.33433075799910	What are you talking about?
nyp.33433075799910	What are you trying to do?
nyp.33433075799910	What did that suffering matter to her?
nyp.33433075799910	What do you call this?"
nyp.33433075799910	What do you expect?
nyp.33433075799910	What do you mean by it?
nyp.33433075799910	What do you mean?
nyp.33433075799910	What do you say to it?"
nyp.33433075799910	What do you say to that?"
nyp.33433075799910	What do you say, Otto?"
nyp.33433075799910	What do you say, young Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	What do you want me to do with it?
nyp.33433075799910	What do you want with me?"
nyp.33433075799910	What does he say?"
nyp.33433075799910	What does it all mean?"
nyp.33433075799910	What does it mean?"
nyp.33433075799910	What for?
nyp.33433075799910	What happened to Maguennoc?
nyp.33433075799910	What has happened to him?
nyp.33433075799910	What have/ to fear?
nyp.33433075799910	What io8 THE SECRET OF SAREK enemy was she to fight?
nyp.33433075799910	What is it?"

nyp.33433075799910	What is it?"
nyp.33433075799910	What is the ex- planation of the work resumed by such barbarous methods?"
nyp.33433075799910	What keeps him in his cell?
nyp.33433075799910	What must Correjou and the others think?"
nyp.33433075799910	What was at the bot- tom of all this fantastic adventure?
nyp.33433075799910	What was he going to do?
nyp.33433075799910	What was the mean- ing of this improbable story and what was his im- penetrable interlocutor driving at?
nyp.33433075799910	What were the creatures in the Great Oak doing?
nyp.33433075799910	What would her son do?
nyp.33433075799910	What would you have said, eh, if we'd left the island without you?"
nyp.33433075799910	What's the matter with you?"
nyp.33433075799910	What's the matter?
nyp.33433075799910	What's the result of your search?"
nyp.33433075799910	What's your name?
nyp.33433075799910	What's your object?"
nyp.33433075799910	What's your price for setting Francois free at once?"
nyp.33433075799910	What's your reason for asking?"
nyp.33433075799910	What?
nyp.33433075799910	When Maguen- noc's daughter died, we took the child to live with VORSKI'S SON 45"But under what name?"
nyp.33433075799910	When shall we escape this awful nightmare?"
nyp.33433075799910	Where can the danger come from?"
nyp.33433075799910	Where did you get that ring which you put first on mother's finger and after- wards on Elfride's?"
nyp.33433075799910	Where did you put the parcel, mother?"
nyp.33433075799910	Where do you get it from?
nyp.33433075799910	Where have they locked him up?
nyp.33433075799910	Where is he?

nyp.33433075799910	Which are you, my foe or my bride?
nyp.33433075799910	Which do you choose?
nyp.33433075799910	Which do you choose?"
nyp.33433075799910	Which do you choose?"
nyp.33433075799910	Which was Francois?
nyp.33433075799910	Which was Raynold?
nyp.33433075799910	Who are those enemies?"
nyp.33433075799910	Who are you?"
nyp.33433075799910	Who could be singing it now?
nyp.33433075799910	Who did you think it was?
nyp.33433075799910	Who goes there?"
nyp.33433075799910	Who hunted me like a wild beast, till I was quite out of breath?
nyp.33433075799910	Who is it?"
nyp.33433075799910	Who laid the trail with the clues that brought you from Le Faouet to the exact spot where 43 44 THE SECRET OF SAREK I always land?
nyp.33433075799910	Who taught it you?
nyp.33433075799910	Who was hiding behind the trees and stones that crowned the hill like a rampart?
nyp.33433075799910	Who was it that was wiping out all the inhabitants of the luckless island?
nyp.33433075799910	Who was that demon standing in front of him?
nyp.33433075799910	Who were these invisible beings who persecuted her?
nyp.33433075799910	Who'd have thought, M'ame Honorine, that you'd be doing a job like this?"
nyp.33433075799910	Who's calling me?
nyp.33433075799910	Whom does he go about with?"
nyp.33433075799910	Whom were they to hate?
nyp.33433075799910	Whose mission was it to fill the thirty coffins of Sarek?
nyp.33433075799910	Why did n't anyone come to look for us?
nyp.33433075799910	Why did they not make for the mainland?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why did you not show him the way?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why do n't you bring her here?
nyp.33433075799910	Why do you ask?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why do you hesitate?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why do you speak of Maguen- noc?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why does n't he show himself?
nyp.33433075799910	Why had her son done these things?
nyp.33433075799910	Why had his tutor, Stephane Maroux, doubtless an accomplice, possibly an insti- gator, fled before the tragedy?
nyp.33433075799910	Why murder?
nyp.33433075799910	Why not stay where you are?
nyp.33433075799910	Why not?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why should he wish himself and my poor child to be thought dead?"
nyp.33433075799910	Why should my father have behaved like that?
nyp.33433075799910	Why should you suppose so?
nyp.33433075799910	Why so?
nyp.33433075799910	Why suicide?
nyp.33433075799910	Why, have n't you seen my axe, with the pattern of the swastika?
nyp.33433075799910	Why?"
nyp.33433075799910	Will that do?"
nyp.33433075799910	Will you belong to me body and soul?
nyp.33433075799910	Will you?
nyp.33433075799910	Will you?
nyp.33433075799910	With what object?
nyp.33433075799910	Wo n't he be starving by now?
nyp.33433075799910	Wo n't you sit down?"
nyp.33433075799910	Would he save those people, whose shouts of distress now reached her ears, would he save them without delay?
nyp.33433075799910	Would not the least hesitation have meant Francois'death?
nyp.33433075799910	Would the miracle occur in Vorski?
nyp.33433075799910	Would the scoundrel have spoken and revealed your hiding- place?
nyp.33433075799910	Would you care for a biscuit and a thimbleful of old claret or a glass of champagne?"
nyp.33433075799910	Would you like me to?"
nyp.33433075799910	You dare to insult me?
nyp.33433075799910	You follow me, do n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	You know me now, do n't you?"
nyp.33433075799910	You know?"
nyp.33433075799910	You never spoke to him, surely?"
nyp.33433075799910	You say that Maguennoc cut off his right hand?"
nyp.33433075799910	You wo n't get up to any tricks?"
nyp.33433075799910	You would scoff at me, you hussy, would you?
nyp.33433075799910	You'll tell me that, wo n't you?
nyp.33433075799910	You're calling Francois?"
nyp.33433075799910	You're coming with me, are n't you?"
nyp.33433075799910	You're tremendously interested, are n't you, Vorski?"
nyp.33433075799910	You've got your dagger?
nyp.33433075799910	You, whose life has been one long martyrdom?"
nyp.33433075799910	You?"
nyp.33433075799910	Your death?
nyp.33433075799910	Your husband?
nyp.33433075799910	Your tears?
nyp.33433075799910	\ on the other nights... it was n't you who came then?
nyp.33433075799910	and the thing was done.... We had bread, apples and best of all, brandy.... We did n't do so badly.... Only, were they going to come back and kill us?
nyp.33433075799910	and then, above all, what has become of Stephane?
nyp.33433075799910	and where for?
nyp.33433075799910	and you will be the first to get tired, for one does n't mind shedding such tears as these, does one, mother?"
nyp.33433075799910	are you ready?"
nyp.33433075799910	because I do n't understand.... How did you come here?"
nyp.33433075799910	dangers which we can not foresee?
nyp.33433075799910	for what?

nyp.33433112050889	Ah, you will be care- ful, wo n’t you?
nyp.33433112050889	And now the whole thing is over, is n’t it? ” Von Reulenz answered slowly: “ I would n’t be quite sure.
nyp.33433112050889	And what is to be the end?
nyp.33433112050889	And, if both men had been arrested, as he thought more than probable, what of Beruna?
nyp.33433112050889	Anton has been away for some days, and only returned yesterday. ” “ What were they doing? ” “ Just talking — very low — very earnestly.
nyp.33433112050889	Anton is waiting for me, and sweat- ing in pure terror because he does n’t know where I am. ” “ Anton of the Forest Guard? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112050889	Any hotel there? ” “ None anywhere near the royal estate.
nyp.33433112050889	Are they safe? ” cried Miss Hedwig in sur- prise.
nyp.33433112050889	Are we on the isle? ” “ No, Highness.
nyp.33433112050889	As I looked round the hut, it made me think of that day when I spilt the tea all over Paul — do you remember?
nyp.33433112050889	As you say, what more likely?
nyp.33433112050889	At all events a military escort was sent, and Leonhardt was marched off. ” “ Without a pretext? ” “ Entirely.
nyp.33433112050889	At last she murmured shamefacedly: — “ Has anybody thanked him, do you know? ” “ Ca n’t say.
nyp.33433112050889	Because I am. ” Again he paused and listened, adding sharply after a moment: “ You ’re not faint, are you?
nyp.33433112050889	Because, if you have been alive all these years, why have you stood aside — why have you left me alone — so long? ” “ You may well ask!
nyp.33433112050889	Beruna, slightly flushed with run- WILL SHE BEGUILE THEE?
nyp.33433112050889	But I beat old Varley by a length. ” “ Did you ever know such a boy? ” laughed Evadne, as the boat rowed off.
nyp.33433112050889	But I have n’t come to threaten you — only to say something that you must hear. ” Was this nightmare?
nyp.33433112050889	But ca n’t you picture the temptation it was this evening, when I saw how you were being drawn on by some influence you could n’t understand?
nyp.33433112050889	But how could he make the king believe that?
nyp.33433112050889	But how could we find out? ” “ We must ascertain how those messages have VARLEY RECEIVES A CONFIDENCE 87 reached you.
nyp.33433112050889	But that is what he must have done ” “ Who says he jumped in after me? ” “ Theobald.
nyp.33433112050889	But they were cheering afterwards? ” “ Because Rastitch was able to assure them that the princess was alive and well.
nyp.33433112050889	But what of Woronz?
nyp.33433112050889	But, if Leonhardt really lived, why did he not show himself?
nyp.33433112050889	Ca n’t you realise the tempta- tion?
nyp.33433112050889	Canst tell us how the miracle happened? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433112050889	Could one keep out the public? ” “ Yes by sending notice to the hotels.
nyp.33433112050889	Could such a man as this pardon what had happened to her in the darkness?
nyp.33433112050889	Dare she make a dash?
nyp.33433112050889	Did not everybody hear what Mistitch said?
nyp.33433112050889	Did the princess know it?
nyp.33433112050889	Did you ever see his great friend, Michael Ferolitz? ” “ I saw him once.
nyp.33433112050889	Did you say you think you could get me out of this?
nyp.33433112050889	Do n’t you think the bigwigs of Pannonia, disappointed of one king, might make haste to elect another?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you hear me? ” Alberta moved.
nyp.33433112050889	Do you hear what I say?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you hear?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you know what I mean? ” “ You must n’t talk like that, nor remind me of the shortness of joy.
nyp.33433112050889	Do you like Anton, and — and trust him? ” “ Ay, that I do.
nyp.33433112050889	Do you mean that?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you not know me?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you really think you saw something swimming?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you remember how you told him off, because one day he lost his way and wandered into your ve- randa?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you suppose they fasten 40 THE KING ’S WIDOW themselves upon us without a purpose?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you suppose they had no design in estranging your father from Uncle Raoul and Aunt Edmée?
nyp.33433112050889	Do you think this can be done? ” Humphrey started.
nyp.33433112050889	Do you wish you were tossing on it now?
nyp.33433112050889	Flying from justice? ” “ Or from injustice, ” said Woronz in a low tone.
nyp.33433112050889	Had his been the hand to deal the blow?
nyp.33433112050889	Had they not looked to see their tool come unscathed from the murder of the man who had so long eluded them?
nyp.33433112050889	Have they any desire to poison me, do you think?
nyp.33433112050889	He barely grazed me, but I killed him. ” “ It was Kamp? ” “ It was.
nyp.33433112050889	He deemed it worth while to go and find out. ” “ And it was? ” “ It was.
nyp.33433112050889	He has been keeping us all in fits of laughter ever since he came. ” “ Is he a waiter?
nyp.33433112050889	He is to wait a week. ” “ A week? ” “ She goes to Gailima in a few days time.
nyp.33433112050889	He might possibly — have news from Pannonia? ” Humphrey was struck by the probability of this sug- gestion.
nyp.33433112050889	He must swim, not with the current, but across it; and in the awful darkness, thun- der- ridden, how might he know in which direction he was shaping?
nyp.33433112050889	He simply disappeared from view. ” “ Do you think they knew who he was? ” “ They were fairly certain that he was Ferolitz.
nyp.33433112050889	He thought, after what he had gone through for her, she might have a kind word for him. ” “ And she had n’t? ” demanded Raoul anxiously.
nyp.33433112050889	Her mouth was-—well, there, how can I tell you?
nyp.33433112050889	Here he ’ll stay until he has had a try for par- don. ”'“ You think so? ” “ He told me so — just now.
nyp.33433112050889	Honestly?"
nyp.33433112050889	How can I tell?
nyp.33433112050889	How can it be of any impor- tance? ” broke in von Reulenz.
nyp.33433112050889	How could I ever survive that shame?
nyp.33433112050889	How could a creature like that be going begging?
nyp.33433112050889	How could it be a man?
nyp.33433112050889	How did it come about? ” “ Like all miracles — miraculously, ” said Stepan with the ghost of a smile.
nyp.33433112050889	How did you get back so soon? ” So swift, so unlooked- for was the attack that for the first instant, Humphrey felt paralysed.
nyp.33433112050889	How did you get there?
nyp.33433112050889	How did you reach me? ” He made a soft little sound that would have been a laugh if he had not been very careful.
nyp.33433112050889	How did you reach us? ” “ Over the top, ” said Humphrey laconically.
nyp.33433112050889	How dull for that beautiful Evadne to be al- ways en famille/ But perhaps the tutor was enough for her?
nyp.33433112050889	How goes it? ” he asked drowsily.
nyp.33433112050889	How had the message been conveyed?
nyp.33433112050889	How many of my nine lives do you suppose I have lost already?
nyp.33433112050889	How much shall you give him, sir? ” Glanzingfors snorted with emotion.
nyp.33433112050889	How?
nyp.33433112050889	I have n’t made you ill? ” “ Oh, I do n’t know!
nyp.33433112050889	I must send him some money, must n’t I? ” “ I should think Father will see that he is suitably re- warded.
nyp.33433112050889	I ought to be a dead man at least three times over — eh?
nyp.33433112050889	I should hate to think anybody could land here, should n’t you?
nyp.33433112050889	I sup- pose he knew it? ” “ He knew it very well.
nyp.33433112050889	I suppose we could get men to sail boats and so on?
nyp.33433112050889	I think there must be more saved, do n’t you, Niklaus?
nyp.33433112050889	I thought — I was told — I understood — that you had never met? ” “ We were married by proxy, ” she answered, with an access of colour.
nyp.33433112050889	I told you the other day, roughly, that I had found out something which made me uneasy ” “ Yes?
nyp.33433112050889	I wish he were not in our boat. ” “ Shall I give orders to pitch him overboard, and tell him to swim back to land? ” he asked, half- teasing.
nyp.33433112050889	If Theobald could win her, would that at- titude change?
nyp.33433112050889	If we find the messenger we shall Obtain the information we want. ” “ But how can we find him?
nyp.33433112050889	If you will allow it, we will use this boat which lies here, and I will row you to Water Gate. ”, “ You?
nyp.33433112050889	In fact, he wanted me to come out to Pannonia with him when he went to take possession of his throne. ” “ But you did not go? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112050889	In the Forest Guard? ” “ Well, it was like this.
nyp.33433112050889	In the last boat perhaps you, Fraulein Hedwig, will accompany me, with his High- ness and Herr von Jott? ” Theobald was delighted.
nyp.33433112050889	Is the little launch even now afraid to trust herself to the waters? ” Varley stepped ashore with the prince.
nyp.33433112050889	It could not be that She was accepting Theobald because Nordernreich had actually succeeded in intimidating her?
nyp.33433112050889	It is expressly forbidden. ” “ Then we are safe? ” “ As long as we make no noise.
nyp.33433112050889	It is just my fancy. ” “ Why did n’t you speak sooner? ” “ I did n’t notice him until after we had started.
nyp.33433112050889	It was a spy — an emissary — from whom?
nyp.33433112050889	It was coming this way, and disappeared on the other side of the island. ” “ What, behind us? ” She sprang to her feet.
nyp.33433112050889	It ’s time I did beat you, is n’t it?
nyp.33433112050889	J. go,'fl~¢'m?
nyp.33433112050889	Kilistrian peasants do n’t indulge in all that blaze of light for WILL SHE BEGUILE THEE?
nyp.33433112050889	Leon- hardt was murdered a bare three weeks after he first set foot in his capital — what do they call the place? — Dalmeiral ”.
nyp.33433112050889	Many a thing he told me——- ” “ Then if it is n’t true ” “ What are they trying to do?
nyp.33433112050889	May I ask for a direction to the house itself? ” “ I have rung for a servant, who will answer you, ” she replied shortly.
nyp.33433112050889	May I tell Baron Her- luin of your intention to go back to Gailima? ” Evadne started a little.
nyp.33433112050889	Most unusual. ” “ But how did you come to know him? ” “ He was at Christchurch with me.
nyp.33433112050889	Need she move or 304 THE KING ’S WIDOW speak?
nyp.33433112050889	Nobody could pinch our stores, could they? ” “ Hardly!
nyp.33433112050889	Of course we know where the arms come from. ” “ Indeed? ” “ Yes, indeed!
nyp.33433112050889	Oh, Mr. Varley, do you think he knows anything?
nyp.33433112050889	Or was he, by providing her with a husband and a position, merely offering her a platform from which to open her offensive?
nyp.33433112050889	Or was it possible that he, the repre- sentative of great Nordernreich, was being made a fool of?
nyp.33433112050889	Rosmer went slowly on: “ Is not this a case for the sacrifice of one man and one man only?
nyp.33433112050889	Shall it be said that the King of Pannonia lost his kingdom in his wife ’s bedcham- ber?
nyp.33433112050889	She would admit me, do n’t you think? ” “ N 0, ” said the baroness promptly.
nyp.33433112050889	Since when have y0u grown so prunes- prism?
nyp.33433112050889	So you know that much?
nyp.33433112050889	Surely Bar- Bar had not been sense- less enough to forbid his visits'?
nyp.33433112050889	Surely it is late at night for shooting? ” “ A wild boar, I expect.
nyp.33433112050889	Tell me, how is she? ” “ But positively wonderful!
nyp.33433112050889	That ’s a bit awkward — eh? ” He paused a moment for a response, but she was past that.
nyp.33433112050889	The sentry knew I had had an alarm and was a bit jumpy, I expect. ” “ Which sentry was it, Mistitch? ” “ The Rumanian, Anton. ” “ Ah!
nyp.33433112050889	The whole idea ’s absurd! ’ ” “ Then you understood all we said to each other that afternoon when we had tea at the hotel?
nyp.33433112050889	The young ought to live in the present — to seize their moment, ought they not? ” “ Seize the moment? ” cried Theobald, on fire.
nyp.33433112050889	The young ought to live in the present — to seize their moment, ought they not? ” “ Seize the moment? ” cried Theobald, on fire.
nyp.33433112050889	Then he ventured: “ We might do both, might we not? ” “ One, ” she replied, “ would be real life.
nyp.33433112050889	Then you did not like him? ” “ On the contrary, I thought him a first- rate man.
nyp.33433112050889	Then you undertake to look on this con- versation as confidential? ” “ I hope you do n’t really need assurance on that point.
nyp.33433112050889	Then, continued the ruthless questioning, how do you account for the fact that Pannonia is now united, organised, and armed to the teeth?
nyp.33433112050889	Theobald asked: “ Is it really true, this story of the smuggling of arms? ” General Helso spread out his great hands.
nyp.33433112050889	They thought he would grow too strong. ” “ You think that? ” she cried eagerly.
nyp.33433112050889	Thou art safe enough. ”_ “ Am I? ” she shivered as the old man peremptorily shut her in and went stumping off.
nyp.33433112050889	WILL SHE BEGUILE THEE?
nyp.33433112050889	WITHIN THE LOOPHOLE 151 “ The birds? ” Humphrey pondered for a minute.
nyp.33433112050889	Was it by any dire chance Theobald who had wrought the change?
nyp.33433112050889	Was it fear that she felt, or was it nervous apprehension?
nyp.33433112050889	Was it he who was now ascending the path?
nyp.33433112050889	Was it just nothing at all but a girl ’s caprice, a girl ’s love of mystification?
nyp.33433112050889	Was it likely I should open a topic which would distress you? ” “ Distress me?
nyp.33433112050889	Was it likely I should open a topic which would distress you? ” “ Distress me?
nyp.33433112050889	Was it noticeable when first you saw me? ” “ Not with the handkerchief.
nyp.33433112050889	Was it, could it be, Woronz?
nyp.33433112050889	Was not that distinction?
nyp.33433112050889	Was she therefore THE FOREST GUARD 51 to have nothing at all?
nyp.33433112050889	Was that the meaning of the ra- diance on those Nordern faces?
nyp.33433112050889	Was that the source of their astonishment?
nyp.33433112050889	We always get done. ” “ Anton?
nyp.33433112050889	We know those. ” “ I was born at Warsaw. ” “ What took your parents there?
nyp.33433112050889	Well Anton, shall we say next Tuesday? ” Anton assented, as if well pleased, and Varley stepped into the launch, which set off immediately.
nyp.33433112050889	Well, I was right. ” “ Which of them? ” “ The Rumanian, Anton. ” Evadne turned so pale that Varley rose to his feet.
nyp.33433112050889	Well, Prince Glanzingfors, I suppose this will conclude your stay in Kilistria?
nyp.33433112050889	What about this mer- chant who ’s coming here? ” Ra absorbed all his tutor ’s slang, as a sponge absorbs water.
nyp.33433112050889	What are you doing here? ” She touched the little bell which would bring Nada instantly.
nyp.33433112050889	What are you talking about? ” 5 “ Your Excellency ordered me to ascertain all the facts.
nyp.33433112050889	What can you say?
nyp.33433112050889	What did Evadne mean?
nyp.33433112050889	What did Kilistria want with all this English?
nyp.33433112050889	What do you mean? ” “ Of what is going on in Pannonia. ” He rose as he spoke and looked at his watch.
nyp.33433112050889	What do you mean? ” “ Your Excellency, ” said Rosmer with another smile, “ is pleased to feign ignorance in order to test my knowledge.
nyp.33433112050889	What had be- come of Mistitch?
nyp.33433112050889	What had he got on? ” “ Your bathing suit, my prince.
nyp.33433112050889	What is there for him to discover? ” “ There is nothing, ” she replied, evidently discon- certed.
nyp.33433112050889	What reason have we to trust Hoshkin, any more than Rosmer?
nyp.33433112050889	What was it that brought you up the hill that first night?
nyp.33433112050889	What was the use of pretending?
nyp.33433112050889	What weather we ’re having — eh? ” “ Indeed, sir, we are, it ’s a wonder there are not more pleasure seekers to take advantage of it!
nyp.33433112050889	What ’s N ordernreich done to you, anyway? ” Her mouth curved up until one could just see the glint of white teeth within the lips.
nyp.33433112050889	What ’s Nordern- reich done to civilisation?
nyp.33433112050889	What ’s the matter? ” “ Oh, pardon, Highness, I thought I heard you call.
nyp.33433112050889	When do you bury him? ” “ I have dug his grave.
nyp.33433112050889	When do you expect him? ” “ I do not expect him, Excellency.
nyp.33433112050889	When do you expect them back? ” “ They will not come back. ” Varley had much ado to keep his surprise from being noticeable.
nyp.33433112050889	When the little country lay at the mercy of the big one, was it likely that Nordernreich should forget that she had an affront to avenge?
nyp.33433112050889	When the first note came through, at Orlenthal, can you re- member what men were down there?
nyp.33433112050889	When will it take place, Duke Raoul? ” “ Echo answers, when? ” laughed Helso boisterously.
nyp.33433112050889	When will it take place, Duke Raoul? ” “ Echo answers, when? ” laughed Helso boisterously.
nyp.33433112050889	Where are — the others? ” STRANGERS YET 141 “ Alas, madam, I do not know. ” “ What! ” she cried.
nyp.33433112050889	Where could a man come from?
nyp.33433112050889	Where do you come from?
nyp.33433112050889	Where were you when you came to? ” “ Just under the cliff, in the little cove where Tuich keeps his boat. ” “ Well, think a minute, duckie.
nyp.33433112050889	Which is which, I wonder? ” “ For you, the wider, fuller life must be the truer!
nyp.33433112050889	Whither would such a caution lead?
nyp.33433112050889	Who am I, what have I done, that my doings are matter of interest to Nordernreich? ” “ I can easily tell you that.
nyp.33433112050889	Who but a waiter would be walking in evening dress up the bed of a mountain torrent, at this hour of the night?
nyp.33433112050889	Who could get to the island by seven, unless he started from the Water Gate beach, or somewhere else in our private grounds? ” ruminated Mistitch.
nyp.33433112050889	Who could have dreamed they were such lunatics?
nyp.33433112050889	Who is practising upon us?
nyp.33433112050889	Who knows?
nyp.33433112050889	Who? ” chorused the waiters, collecting in a cluster.
nyp.33433112050889	Whose idea was it? ” “ Prince Theobald, sir, told Edor what he wanted, and Edor said there would be no danger, but fine sport.
nyp.33433112050889	Why all this subterfuge and concealment?
nyp.33433112050889	Why did you come the other night, so late, to our cottage? ” “ A spy — here? ” echoed.Varley like one astounded.
nyp.33433112050889	Why did you come the other night, so late, to our cottage? ” “ A spy — here? ” echoed.Varley like one astounded.
nyp.33433112050889	Why go on leading this accursed life — this furtive, treacherous life?
nyp.33433112050889	Why not?
nyp.33433112050889	Why not?
nyp.33433112050889	Why should Nordernreich spy upon Evadne?
nyp.33433112050889	Why should a spy come here?
nyp.33433112050889	Why should he? ” “ He was last seen in Anton ’s company, I gather. ” “ Oh yes.
nyp.33433112050889	Why was not every prince in Europe in the lists for her hand?
nyp.33433112050889	Will the girl beguile thee? ” Varley was astonished to find how angry this sugges- tion made him.
nyp.33433112050889	Will the prin- cess ever forgive me, do you think?
nyp.33433112050889	Will you ask him to come to déjeuner with me to- morrow at twelve o’clock?
nyp.33433112050889	Will you be good — will you do as I ask? ” “ Can you doubt it? ” “ Then go away!
nyp.33433112050889	Will you be good — will you do as I ask? ” “ Can you doubt it? ” “ Then go away!
nyp.33433112050889	Would she come behind him and fling her soft arms, whose encirclement Humphrey seemed still to feel, around him?
nyp.33433112050889	Would she write her letter now, or have tea first?
nyp.33433112050889	Would you like a swim, Theobald?
nyp.33433112050889	Yet, if she surrendered Theobald, what had the future to offer her?
nyp.33433112050889	You always have an escort, do n’t you? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112050889	You and he are not — not the least bit alike ” “ Are we not? ” he muttered softly.
nyp.33433112050889	You heard the yelling last night? ” 158 THE KING'S WIDOW Von Reulenz nodded, as he drank a long draught from the iced lemon drink at his elbow.
nyp.33433112050889	You offer me this, immediately after my telling you that your secret di- plomacy lies at my mercy?
nyp.33433112050889	You very nearly caught him, did n’t you? ” 224 THE KING ’S WIDOW robe, just there — something that scratched me a minute ago.
nyp.33433112050889	You will be safer in town, and we shall know more shortly. ” “ Know more?
nyp.33433112050889	You wo n’t be reckless?
nyp.33433112050889	“ 1—1 am under the impression that you do me the honour to wish me to be your wife? ” “ Of course.
nyp.33433112050889	“ And if so, where has the king been all this time? ” “ They say he was a prisoner for a long period.
nyp.33433112050889	“ And that is? ” “ The princess is not quite certain that she is a widow."
nyp.33433112050889	“ And was Mr. Varley visiting there also?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Any- thing to tell me? ” nges.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Anybody know when I shall get the answer to that note I brought? ” he asked, with studied insolence.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Are you dreaming? ” “ No, no, ” he replied quickly, “ nor mad either, 220 THE ESCAPE 221 though perhaps it sounds like it.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Are you not ashamed — are you not ashamed to stand there and own to your low, mean, crawling trade of spy? ” he shrieked.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Are you sure that I am completely unbiassed? ” he asked, bending to strike a match on the sole of his shoe.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Are you sure you understand what it is that I wish to know? ” he murmured.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Art thou at ease? ” asked the big man with anxiety.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Baron Herluin?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Baroness, may I trouble you with a message from me to Mr. Varley?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Busy are you?
nyp.33433112050889	“ But where then is the Abbess?
nyp.33433112050889	“ But why should he have killed me? ” Ra continued to stare.
nyp.33433112050889	“ But why? ” she cried.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Can yon Pole tell us nothing? ” “ N 0.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Can you give us any information about her, Rosmer? ” “ It ’s hard to obtain, sir.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Can you tell me why they should spy on me?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Did it rain much? ” she asked weakly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Did n’t you hear me?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Do n’t go in there, Lord Englishman. ” “ And why not? ” “ There ’s a dead man in there. ” Varley ’s heart jumped.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Do you hear?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Do you like boating? ”'“ I like this boating, ” he replied promptly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Do you loaf about the forest much at night? ” asked von Reulenz in an off- hand fashion.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Do you mean to tell me that they are lost?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Do you notice anything unusual in my appearance? ” Von Reulenz had become ghastly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Does n’t Rastitch know where he is? ” “ Not he.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Further than that?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Good old Rastitch, how goes it?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Got the hump? ” he asked tenderly, putting down his head to peep sideways under her hat.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Has he not arrived? ” His wife looked up at him with a dawning anxiety in her eyes.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Have you considered possibilities at all? ” he asked harshly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Have you got anything against him? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Have you really no idea how you came ashore? ” he asked after some minutes.
nyp.33433112050889	“ He has to go to Gailima for a few days to have his teeth attended to. ” “ Is that so? ” said Humphrey thoughtfully.
nyp.33433112050889	“ He is n’t hurt, is he? ” she queried peevishly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Here they come! ” “ They?
nyp.33433112050889	“ How can I say?
nyp.33433112050889	“ How could such a thing be kept secret? ” “ My brother was very anxious to have it kept secret.
nyp.33433112050889	“ How long have you been enrolled in the guard? ” “ About twelve months. ” This was a disappointing reply.
nyp.33433112050889	“ How soon could we get Theobald here? ” “ If he liked our idea, he might he here in a week, ” replied von Reulenz promptly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Hump indeed?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I ca n’t yet realise, ” he stammered, “ how it was that I did not instantly perceive — am I very stupid, or are you both very clever?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I can not permit you to go to Water Gate to- night, Mr. Varley. ” “ Not?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I may write to you? ” he pleaded.
nyp.33433112050889	“ I must go — how can I go?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I say, wo n’t father be bucked?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I sup- pose Her Highness wo n’t have gone to bed already, will she?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I sup- pose he ’ll finance the scheme, wo n’t he?
nyp.33433112050889	“ I wonder, ” she cried, “ how much the Prince of Grenzenmark knows of their spying and intrigue? ” “ Nothing whatever, I should imagine.
nyp.33433112050889	“ If you are really Leonhardt, how can I marry Theobald, or anyone else? ” “ Several ways to arrange that.
nyp.33433112050889	“ In- deed, sir? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Is Edor mad, or only drunk?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Is Your Highness suffering? ” She made a great effort to rise.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Is she alive? ” “ I think so.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Is that how you feel? ” came a despairing whisper.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Is that your advice?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Is your Highness pleased with our royal family? ” he asked deferentially.
nyp.33433112050889	“ It is then of Stepan Woronz that you have come here to speak? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112050889	“ It is trying, is it not, ” said she, “ that everything must be so obvious, if one happens to be royal?
nyp.33433112050889	“ It would be rather nice, do n’t you think? ” He stared, divided between the feeling of being intensely shocked and immensely attracted.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Leonhardt, how could you?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Married?
nyp.33433112050889	“ May I venture to inter- rupt you, sire, while I put the oath to Mr. Varley?
nyp.33433112050889	“ May we expect you one night next week? ” “ With all my heai- t, ” replied Humphrey.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Mean to say you thought he was there by accident, too? ” She nodded, her face hot with a painful blush.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Mistitch, ” said he at last, “ where did you get An- ton from? ” “ Anton? ” Mistitch stared.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Mistitch, ” said he at last, “ where did you get An- ton from? ” “ Anton? ” Mistitch stared.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Must you go?
nyp.33433112050889	“ No?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Nobody anywhere about, is there? ” he said in an undertone.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Now, ” said she at the conclusion, “ what do you think? ” Varley rose, and walked twice up and down the ve- randa before giving his opinion.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Oh, Highness, are you still upon the veranda?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Oh, Prince Ra and his sisters have no boatman with them?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Or — er — leave the country altogether? ” suggested Rosmer softly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Perhaps I had better take your temperature? ” “ No, of course not.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Perhaps that is why, because I am Evadne P., perhaps I want to be Evadne R. ” “ Well, why not?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Rosamond, will you please go in the first boat, with the Prince Ambassador, his elder daughter, and Herr von Reulenz?
nyp.33433112050889	“ So you remember that I came before? ” was all that it occurred to him to say.
nyp.33433112050889	“ So you think they want me? ” said Evadne de- murely.
nyp.33433112050889	“ So?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Sure it was n’t a hippopotamus?"
nyp.33433112050889	“ Surely you are not going to tell me that — it — is — true? ” he stammered.
nyp.33433112050889	“ They belong to your husband, do they?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Vanished?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Was not their steam enough without rushing straight to destruction with a sail?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Well, did n’t he? ” “ Did n’t the waiter save my life? ” she repeated won- deringly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Well, did n’t he? ” “ Did n’t the waiter save my life? ” she repeated won- deringly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What are you doing here with me?
nyp.33433112050889	“ What can have become of them? ” he muttered, distracted.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What can we do for you? ” Humphrey explained that he had lost his way; and, seeing the lights had ventured to knock and ask for a direction.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What could put the idea of a spy into your head?
nyp.33433112050889	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433112050889	“ What do you think? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What does the quality want? ” “ Nobody here? ” Varley ’s heart sank like a stone.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What does the quality want? ” “ Nobody here? ” Varley ’s heart sank like a stone.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What happened? ” she demanded then, facing him despotically.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What has age to do with a beauty like that? ” cried Theobald.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What is it — what do you see? ” he demanded eagerly.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What is to be done? ” he demanded urgently.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What like was the messenger who brought this? ” she asked, her eye upon the girl ’s unwonted colour.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What now, old dog? ” asked Humphrey affection- ately.
nyp.33433112050889	“ What use now? ” he muttered fractiously.
nyp.33433112050889	“ When you saw the spy yesterday — was he alone? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Where then are the mother and sister of Anton? ” “ They are gone away. ” “ Indeed?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Where then are the mother and sister of Anton? ” “ They are gone away. ” “ Indeed?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Where ’s Varley? ” asked the baron presently; and she turned with a little start.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Who are you?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Who are you?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why are you here?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why ca n’t Father let me stay down here all summer, as he did when I was a child?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why do you say he must go without?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why not marry the masterful young lady? ” There was an immediate “ Ah! ” of attention from the general and von Reulenz.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why, how is that?
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why, what ’s the matter? ” she cried.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Why? ” asked Woronz in a very low voice.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Will you have help for the burial? ” “ Yes, lord.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Without her brother ’s knowledge? ” “ That is Leonhardt ’s idea.
nyp.33433112050889	“ Wonder where he ’ll turn up next? ” hazarded von Reulenz.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You also? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You are only just off duty, and must want your supper ” “ How do you know I am just ofl duty? ” sharply.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You do n’t really think there could be — a human being — on our island, Ra? ” “ Much more likely a sea- monster.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You forbid me to come any more? ” 184 THE KING ’S WIDOW struck a sound.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You knew him?
nyp.33433112050889	“ You mean — you think — they would come here to—find it — to get it — the message? ” “ I am quite sure they would.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You really mean that you wish to confide in me? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112050889	“ You remember how sure I was that if your bunga- low had been entered it must be by the treachery or connivance of some member of the Forest Guard?
nyp.33433112050889	“ You ’re coming up to Florémar to supper, are you not? ” he asked in a low voice.
uc1.b3256435	What is it, grandfather of a skillet? ” he asked in a low, even, passionless voice, careful not to excite himself.
uc1.b3256435	But- you will come?
uc1.b3256435	How do you like it, Cantonese mud turtle?
uc1.b3256435	How- de- do? ” he singsonged. uc1.b3256435 I'm awfully glad you looked me up, Hardwick How did you find me?"
uc1.b3256435	Is he indeed from Peking? ”. uc1.b3256435 It is incredible, is n't it?"
uc1.b3256435	Then — what is the trouble, sonny? uc1.b3256435 Where- is Devoy? ” he panted; and, when the detective came out of the captain's room: “ Ye won yer bet, Bill!
uc1.b3256435	Ye mean the settlement guy? uc1.b3256435 172 After His Kind “ Continuehis- what?
uc1.b3256435	A chivalrous and accomplished assassin?
uc1.b3256435	A killer?
uc1.b3256435	A little taster before the feast, your honour? ” “ No!"
uc1.b3256435	A yielder of sharp iron?
uc1.b3256435	Accept it as a fact- see-?-a stinkin', yeller fact! ” “ But how can I help thinking, Mr. Devoy? ”.
uc1.b3256435	Am I not a handsome lover?
uc1.b3256435	Am I not comely and strong and sweetly scented?
uc1.b3256435	Am I not right?"
uc1.b3256435	And I will not sully my honour. ” “ No? ” asked Yat in a flat, still voice.
uc1.b3256435	And a lover of buds?"
uc1.b3256435	And when he did not reply, The Honourable Gentleman 15 OVE she went on with a little sigh: “ Any more stories about your own country? ”.
uc1.b3256435	And, say, ai n't he just the swell dresser, though?
uc1.b3256435	But the truth?
uc1.b3256435	But there was one they forgot to ask. ” “ Yes?"
uc1.b3256435	But what did it matter?
uc1.b3256435	But what do I care?
uc1.b3256435	But wot the devil?
uc1.b3256435	But, yeller or pea green or black with white polka dots, he's a real gent- get that?
uc1.b3256435	But,"she smiled—“Minnie's blind, ai n't she?
uc1.b3256435	Can I trust you?"
uc1.b3256435	Can it be that you have forgotten?"
uc1.b3256435	Damned Chink?
uc1.b3256435	Did you understand the truth of my song? ” The other was a serious and plodding youth, not usually given to light banter.
uc1.b3256435	Do n't ye go and boin yer fingers, kid! ” “ Me?
uc1.b3256435	Do n't you?"
uc1.b3256435	Doing- what?
uc1.b3256435	For had not the Lord Buddha said to his disciple Subhuti that every form or quality of phenomena was transient and elusive?
uc1.b3256435	For, if the precious vase be broken in pieces, shall not the treasure of an- cient precepts be lost forever?
uc1.b3256435	Get me?
uc1.b3256435	Glad to have you- are n't we, kid?"
uc1.b3256435	Here I'm matchmakin'like a regular — what do my Levinsky in- laws call it?
uc1.b3256435	How can she help herself, eh?
uc1.b3256435	How can the poor little kid help bein'stuck on ye?
uc1.b3256435	I say that happiness demands only one thing: love! ” “ Love?"
uc1.b3256435	I trust that homely, yeller Chink- see?
uc1.b3256435	I'm white- wottya mean callin'me a Chink?"
uc1.b3256435	If ye'd only give a feller a chance Ye know Mrs. Levinsky who keeps the second- hand store round the corner?"
uc1.b3256435	Is it because I am- blind?
uc1.b3256435	Is that the great secret, hunchback?"
uc1.b3256435	It is therefore my duty-"“ Yer duty?
uc1.b3256435	It's man's favourite excuse when he do n't want to play the game none, see?
uc1.b3256435	Look a- here, Tsing, did ye ever stop to think wot's yer duty to my little Minnie in there?"
uc1.b3256435	Make me lose face- that's wottya call it, ai n't it?
uc1.b3256435	Maybe you'll teach me, eh? ”.
uc1.b3256435	Minnie is blind, ai n't she?
uc1.b3256435	None o'yer measly Chink jade, either; but the real thing, get me?
uc1.b3256435	Not where you are going —"“ The joss temple?"
uc1.b3256435	Only when they starts foolin'with the whites"“ What about that young fellow- what's his name?"
uc1.b3256435	Perhaps — some day- I- shall-"And Ching Shan's words had cut through hers like a knife: “ Would I drag for the moon reflected in the water?
uc1.b3256435	Picked up?
uc1.b3256435	Remember what the book says! ” “ The book? ” Tsing laughed.
uc1.b3256435	Say"he interrupted himself; then continued, truculently sticking out his prognathic jaw: “ Do n't ye believe me?
uc1.b3256435	She's gon na have her chance, see?
uc1.b3256435	She's sixteen, see?
uc1.b3256435	Talking about — what?
uc1.b3256435	That's what I'm gon na get, see?
uc1.b3256435	The song broke off and gave way to a belliger- ent query: 118 Cobbler's Wax “ An'what may ye be grinnin'about?"
uc1.b3256435	The villain in the piece?
uc1.b3256435	Then he asked:"You have thought it out well?
uc1.b3256435	Therefore, why contradict and argue?
uc1.b3256435	Think it was me cracked the gink- or Danny O'Connor? ”"Forget it!
uc1.b3256435	Tiny, dainty, perfumed, rose- red buds — such as"“ The little bride? ” Chi Kun- yi asked in a very low, a very gentle voice.
uc1.b3256435	Try to look at it from my point of view — and —"“ Then- yer don't- love me?"
uc1.b3256435	Was she still downstairs?
uc1.b3256435	Well — it ai n't my fault if ye do n't like the smell, see?
uc1.b3256435	What did he want of him?
uc1.b3256435	What do you know of the heart of woman, my blue- blooded gentleman?
uc1.b3256435	What may you be?"
uc1.b3256435	What of it?
uc1.b3256435	Why did he?
uc1.b3256435	Why do n't you tell me straight out that you love me?
uc1.b3256435	Why do n't you tell me that you love me?
uc1.b3256435	Why do n't you? ” And he did.
uc1.b3256435	Why do you not pick the bud yourself?"
uc1.b3256435	Why?
uc1.b3256435	Why?
uc1.b3256435	Wottya givin'me?
uc1.b3256435	Would I keep meat on trust with the jackal?

uc1.b3256435	Yer may be old and sorta dried up like a peanut, see?
uc1.b3256435	Yes, one gained face by giving; but what 122 Cobbler's Wax particular face- gaining was there in a kindly word, in sympathy?
uc1.b3256435	Yet has he never been punished, never even been sus- pected. ” “ Then — why —? ” came the slurring, slightly ironic question.

uc1.b3256435	“ Did you sense the beauty, the flaming passion?
uc1.b3256435	“ Do you?"
uc1.b3256435	“ For instance? ” she asked, looking up radi- antly, expectantly.
uc1.b3256435	“ Give her a good old hiding, an'she'll feed outa yer hand, me lad! ” “ I have- ah- your official permission, as head of her family?".

uc1.b3256435	“ Sure it was him? ”.
uc1.b3256435	“ Tsieh- kwang- hai- tsieh- kwang? ” he sing- songed, politely inquiring if he was in the gentle- man's way.
uc1.b3256435	“ What does a pig know of the taste of ginger? ” he inquired gently.
uc1.b3256435	“ What may ye be grinnin'about?"

osu.32435017779398	44 hat's the program for to- night? ” asked Hickey.
osu.32435017779398	A friend brought my cab in for me, a young boy; you did n't happen to see him, did you? ” Bessie Bickle shook her head.
osu.32435017779398	About eighteen miles out on the Port Franklin branch. ” “ What time are you sending the body out there? ” “ It leaves here about five.
osu.32435017779398	And anyway why should a detec- tive want to take him to Jersey City?
osu.32435017779398	And she wo n't testify against him. ” “ Then must he go free? ” cried Estuban stormily.
osu.32435017779398	Any more hold- ups or runaways?
osu.32435017779398	Are they leaving? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435017779398	Are you armed? ” Estuban nodded.
osu.32435017779398	Are you game for it? ” Bull nodded.
osu.32435017779398	Are you obliged to lay a charge against him? ” “ They always do.
osu.32435017779398	Are you satisfied with that? ” “ I believe I began to cry then.
osu.32435017779398	Are you willing to take a sporting chance? ” “ Try me. ” Once more Hickey hesitated, and then the proposal came with a rush.
osu.32435017779398	Are your hands more comfortable now? ” 66 The Owl Taxi “ Not much.
osu.32435017779398	As I told you, I hoped you might be able to supplant him with somebody better from down there. ” “ ‘ In Managuay? ” said Francisco scornfully.
osu.32435017779398	As soon as you get the cop all worked up you make a quiet sneak, see?
osu.32435017779398	As they rolled out of the ferry house on the Jersey City side Greg said: “ Where to? ” His fare seemed to have become a little drunker.
osu.32435017779398	At last he asked very off- hand: “ Would you call driving a taxi a trade? ” “ Sure.
osu.32435017779398	But have you the proof?
osu.32435017779398	But if we allow her to think that you have sufficient 9?
osu.32435017779398	But suppose, just as he started to drag it out of the cab, some one turned into the street, or came out of one of the houses?
osu.32435017779398	But to wait here in sus- pense — how can I endure it? ” “ Oh, this is a simple job. ” “ Simple!
osu.32435017779398	But what had become of her when day- light overtook her?
osu.32435017779398	But who are y++ icer?
osu.32435017779398	By the way, what is the name of the people who own that apartment? ” “ Merriweather. ” “ Good.
osu.32435017779398	Detach the meter and lay it on the floor. ” “ What's that for? ”- “ It'll be in our passenger's way on the ride home, ” said Greg grimly.
osu.32435017779398	Did he get more?
osu.32435017779398	Did you claim my baggage on the pier? ” 90 The Owl Taxi Hickey shook his head.
osu.32435017779398	Did you ever feel like that?
osu.32435017779398	Do you get me?
osu.32435017779398	Do you know any window- clean- ers? ” “ No, but it's only eight o'clock.
osu.32435017779398	Do you know him too? ” Greg's heart bled for this generous youth.
osu.32435017779398	Do you mind if I bring them up for a moment? ” “ By all means bring them up! ” said Amy.
osu.32435017779398	Do you mind if I wait here with you? ” “ Do I mind! ” said Greg.
osu.32435017779398	Do you understand that if the slightest thing goes wrong it will mean complete ruin for all of us?
osu.32435017779398	Do you understand the importance of it?
osu.32435017779398	Do you understand?'
osu.32435017779398	Do you want to arouse the neighborhood? ” They drew back scowling.

osu.32435017779398	Does she think I am a com- plete idiot?
osu.32435017779398	Finally he said: “ What do you want me to do? ” “ Ah, if I knew! ” she murmured.
osu.32435017779398	Finally, unable to bear it any longer she asks with an innocent air to whom am I writing?
osu.32435017779398	Greg went on: “ There was a valise under the body; that's gone too. ” “ Like that you saw in the hotel up- town? ” she asked breathlessly.
osu.32435017779398	Greg's Second Fare 47 “ Shall we follow? ” asked Greg.
osu.32435017779398	Greg's Second Fare 49 “ What now? ” he said.
osu.32435017779398	Had he looked inside?
osu.32435017779398	Has he stolen that too?
osu.32435017779398	Have you any baggage? ” “ It will be sent here later. ” The clerk looked at him significantly.
osu.32435017779398	Have you anything to write it down with? ’ ” She nodded, and produced a tiny note- book and pen- cil.
osu.32435017779398	He did not answer Greg directly but said suggestively: “ Spanish- American and your cousin? ” “ Half Spanish- American I should have said.
osu.32435017779398	He does n’t come in at all. ” “ Is he on de Socotra's side? ” “ He has nothing to do with politics. ” “ I see.
osu.32435017779398	He say: ‘ What's the matter with Bianca? ” The Señorita say: ‘ I don'like her.
osu.32435017779398	He seemed to be a little drunk. ” “ Drunk?
osu.32435017779398	He sought'',< day before he sailed for New York on the and had a long talk with her, a talk that pro influenced the girl. ” Pted daughter. ”?
osu.32435017779398	He told me to take them to Jersey City by the Twenty- third Street ferry, see?
osu.32435017779398	He wanted to make friends, see?
osu.32435017779398	He's giv- ing these their final instructions now. ” Greg whispered back: “ Is the door locked? ” “ I do n't think so.
osu.32435017779398	He's not a drink- ing man. ” “ Who is he? ” asked Greg with natural curiosity.
osu.32435017779398	Here he is??
osu.32435017779398	Here he is??
osu.32435017779398	Hickey, drive me over to West Broadway, will you? ” Within the time he had set Greg was back with shining eyes.
osu.32435017779398	Hickey, ” he said suddenly, “ can you drive Pa Sim- mons'car, the Pack- Arrow? ” “ Sure! ” “ Good!
osu.32435017779398	His men? ” “ Whose? ” asked Greg, perplexed.
osu.32435017779398	His men? ” “ Whose? ” asked Greg, perplexed.
osu.32435017779398	How are you? ” The situation was too much for the Castilian youth.
osu.32435017779398	How can I eat with my hands tied? ” “ I will feed you, ” she said with a charming confu- sion in her voice.
osu.32435017779398	How could he deal with two women?
osu.32435017779398	How could we take it? ” “ I have thought of that.
osu.32435017779398	How did they get it? ” Greg marked well the look of the book.
osu.32435017779398	How did you know you'd find me here? ” “ I guessed it. ” “ That's not enough.
osu.32435017779398	How should he have noticed the tiny needle prick on the man's throat?
osu.32435017779398	I am not at all prudish, but I could n't very well — well, could I?
osu.32435017779398	I beat it. ” You go then? ” asked Greg.
osu.32435017779398	I do n't know his name. ” “ Where did you ever meet him? ” “ In the Meriden.
osu.32435017779398	I go for Managuay. ” “ ‘ Where? ” “ ‘ To the United States.
osu.32435017779398	I have a cab down- stairs. ” “ Where to? ” asked Amy dryly.
osu.32435017779398	I suppose I ought to have a gun??
osu.32435017779398	I suppose I ought to have a gun??
osu.32435017779398	I'd have fainted clean away! ” 220 The Owl Taxi Presently Hickey asked nervously: “ What's the pro- gram for to- night?
osu.32435017779398	I'm a respectable woman and I wo n't stand for no crooked work, see?
osu.32435017779398	I'm glad I did n't go home! ” “ Is the family all up- stairs? ” asked Greg.
osu.32435017779398	If I detain him here until after lunch, could you have his room at the hotel searched?
osu.32435017779398	If I had gone to the house I should not have been admitted. ” “ ‘ But how did you get here?
osu.32435017779398	If anybody comes out you are to jump on him and frisk him for the little black book, see?
osu.32435017779398	If she were de Socotra's daughter how could she be an American as she had so proudly asserted?
osu.32435017779398	If the body is missing, will it be possible to bring the crime home to the murderer? ” “ Difficult, ” said Greg.
osu.32435017779398	In my country the sun never forsakes us like this. ” “ What country is that? ” asked Greg idly.
osu.32435017779398	It is time you thought of things. ”- “ ‘ What things? ’*- “ ‘ Well, life and people and how you stand towards them.
osu.32435017779398	It seemed like a good idea when it came to me but now — I do n't know??
osu.32435017779398	It seemed like a good idea when it came to me but now — I do n't know??
osu.32435017779398	Just one look! ” “ How did you do it? ” asked Greg.
osu.32435017779398	Leaving somebody behind you? ” “ No, ” said Greg smiling; “ only the old town.
osu.32435017779398	Meanwhile the question was hammering on Greg's brain: “ What am I to do?
osu.32435017779398	Moved in this morning. ” “ What name? ” asked Greg.
osu.32435017779398	Must he end in that house like a trapped rat?
osu.32435017779398	No, thank you. ” “ Let me take you to a hotel, then. ” “ In this?
osu.32435017779398	Oh, what is the matter? ” Bianca say: ‘ I think Amélie has lost her mind!'
osu.32435017779398	Or suppose, as was not unlikely, that the crime was already known, and the police even now were in search of a cab bearing his number?
osu.32435017779398	Perhaps he ought to stop and set the body up on the seat and put its hat on its head — but what was the use?
osu.32435017779398	Queer kind of post- office, is n't it?
osu.32435017779398	Say, red- head was a little queen she was, with a little green hat and a whole grizzly bear around her neck, I guess it was??
osu.32435017779398	Say, red- head was a little queen she was, with a little green hat and a whole grizzly bear around her neck, I guess it was??
osu.32435017779398	Says she: “ Go to Bessie Bickle's taxi- yard on Gibbon Street south of Houston?
osu.32435017779398	Señor Francisco say: “ For God's sake, what's the matter?
osu.32435017779398	Señor de Socotra was called to Peru last night. ” Greg's Rival 95 “ Peru? ” said Greg, dryly.
osu.32435017779398	Señorita Bianca say: “ Who was that at the door, Nina?"
osu.32435017779398	She got her rent in advance and that's all she asked. ” “ What about the boy who gave the alarm? ” “ There's a mystery about him too.
osu.32435017779398	She is here, is n't she? ” But the doctor had taken alarm.
osu.32435017779398	She's a landaulet, see?
osu.32435017779398	She's safe. ” “ How was I to know that? ” “ Is she out of the place? ” “ No, she went back for something. ” Greg groaned.
osu.32435017779398	She's safe. ” “ How was I to know that? ” “ Is she out of the place? ” “ No, she went back for something. ” Greg groaned.
osu.32435017779398	So I goes to the pier and I draws two of them dagoes; one was him that I threw in with the flivver, see?
osu.32435017779398	So it's up to you, see? ” “ I understand, ma'am, ” said Greg humbly.
osu.32435017779398	Suppose this person were bound for the Sanitarium?
osu.32435017779398	The Crema- tory's not marked on the map but 5* “ What's a crematory? ” interrupted Hickey.
osu.32435017779398	The Señora say like a person in a dream: ‘ What is the matter?
osu.32435017779398	The cab seemed to be all right, but this was the lesser half of his anxieties; where was its late driver?
osu.32435017779398	The clothes are mine, ai n't they?
osu.32435017779398	The engine is running. ” “ Who can run it? ” asked de Socotra.
osu.32435017779398	The grand question was, was he look- ing for the real or the false Bareda?
osu.32435017779398	The hotel clerk told me 9% “ It is de Socotra who is registered here under his name. ” “ What is that for? ” murmured Estuban blankly.
osu.32435017779398	The idea is to give plenty of action, see?
osu.32435017779398	The young man spoke again — was it to ask when Señor Bareda would return?
osu.32435017779398	Their morale is poor. ” “ What do you propose? ” asked Estuban.
osu.32435017779398	Then we could carry it inside. ” “ How about a window- cleaner's ladder?
osu.32435017779398	They're picking him up. ” “ Who, the policeman? ” said Greg.
osu.32435017779398	This hold- up is n't meant for you personally. ” “ What is it then? ” “ I just want to give your passenger a transfer. ” “ Gee!
osu.32435017779398	This is the fellow who passes you notes for the little Spanish lady, do you get me?
osu.32435017779398	To what do I owe the pleasure of this call? ” If he expected to rattle Greg he mistook his man.
osu.32435017779398	W But what is in it?
osu.32435017779398	Was it possible he had seen or was this just the maundering of a drunken man?
osu.32435017779398	Was it possible that Amy's fiancé intended to betray them?
osu.32435017779398	We have a lot to do to- day. ” “ Do you mind staking me for a little breakfast? ” asked Hickey meekly.
osu.32435017779398	We have to have sixty or seventy feet of rope too. ” “ Is anybody going to be hanged? ” asked Hickey with a shiver.
osu.32435017779398	We must fill up the flivver with gas, put in a quart of oil, and let down the top. ” “ Why the top? ” asked Hickey.
osu.32435017779398	Well, when one of them little vessels docks at night it gives us fellows a show, see?
osu.32435017779398	What are they? ” “ I do n't know.
osu.32435017779398	What chance would we have of foisting any of our people off on Bareda?
osu.32435017779398	What could be the matter?
osu.32435017779398	What could she do?
osu.32435017779398	What do I get out of this?
osu.32435017779398	What do you know about that? ” “ Just a bluff, ” said Greg.
osu.32435017779398	What do you make of it? ” “ It's politics of some kind, ” she said vaguely.
osu.32435017779398	What do you wish me to suppose when you come anyway?
osu.32435017779398	What does he do? ” “ Are you trying to insult him? ” “ Not at all.
osu.32435017779398	What does he do? ” “ Are you trying to insult him? ” “ Not at all.
osu.32435017779398	What have I done? ”- “ Nothing.
osu.32435017779398	What have they taught you, my child, except how to dress well?"
osu.32435017779398	What was I to do?
osu.32435017779398	What was I to do? ” “ What steps did you take to get me out? ” “ Francisco swore to me that it was only for the night.

osu.32435017779398	What was the nature of Saunders'communication?
osu.32435017779398	What's he done? ” Greg's good clothes and assured air were not with- out their effect.
osu.32435017779398	When did it happen? ” “ The night he landed; in a cab on his way from the pier. ” Estuban looked puzzled.
osu.32435017779398	When did you start loving me? ” “ On the way home in the cab from Bessie's when we quarreled so violently.
osu.32435017779398	When you drop him go on for half a block and wait for me, will you?
osu.32435017779398	Where can we go now? ” “ To the yard. ” 2O5 206 The Owl Taxi “ He will follow us there. ” “ Let him.
osu.32435017779398	Where did you take him over there? ” “ Nowhere, ” said Greg.
osu.32435017779398	Where's Hickey? ” “ I ’d be glad to know that myself. ” “ Owes me half a dollar, ” said Blossom.
osu.32435017779398	Which girl was he after then?
osu.32435017779398	Who are you?
osu.32435017779398	Why did n't you WL to come P ” rra- • ‘ Need you ask that? ”* “ I must ask it.
osu.32435017779398	Why did n't you buy a taxi- cab, and put one of our men on it?'

osu.32435017779398	Why do we have to put up with her?
osu.32435017779398	Why do you stay where you are if you are surrounded by enemies?
osu.32435017779398	Why must he? ” “ I should think you'd see yourself.
osu.32435017779398	Why not dump the body out where he was, and let things take their course?
osu.32435017779398	Why not?
osu.32435017779398	Why not? ” “ Well, why do n't you try that?
osu.32435017779398	Why not? ” “ Well, why do n't you try that?
osu.32435017779398	Why?
osu.32435017779398	Why?"
osu.32435017779398	With the judges and the machine guns on the other side what could a poor man do?
osu.32435017779398	Wo n't you tell me how you came here? ” Greg was already at the end of his powers of dis- simulation.
osu.32435017779398	Would he dare mount it?

nyp.33433112045731	And what was the deceased ’s answer?
nyp.33433112045731	And when did the prisoner return?
nyp.33433112045731	And wished to make her your wife?
nyp.33433112045731	And you adhere to it?
nyp.33433112045731	And you credited that wonderful story?
nyp.33433112045731	And you had heard the shot fired while at the front?
nyp.33433112045731	And you thought he looked unwell?
nyp.33433112045731	And, being forestalled, was replaced possibly by an alternative suggestion, pointing to another way out of your difficulties?
nyp.33433112045731	And, following on the sound of the gun, you left your snare- setting and made for home?
nyp.33433112045731	Anything further?
nyp.33433112045731	Are you coming, sir? ’ Sir Calvin, frowning a stiff moment, moved to acquiesce.
nyp.33433112045731	Are you speaking the truth?
nyp.33433112045731	Are you sure you are not borrowing from it the idea of this second figure, a sort of simulacrum of yourself?
nyp.33433112045731	As if comparatively close by?
nyp.33433112045731	Assuming, then, that the murder were his act, what more overmastering motive could have driven him to it?
nyp.33433112045731	At dinner, on the night before the murder, did you notice anything peculiar about him?
nyp.33433112045731	At what distance from the deceased would your know- ledge as a sportsman put it?
nyp.33433112045731	At what time did you hear this particular shot?
nyp.33433112045731	At what time was that?
nyp.33433112045731	B 4 MY FIRST MEETING'Ah! ’ he said, ‘ your friend is unpunctual?'
nyp.33433112045731	Baron, you are going to stop with us, are you not, until the trial is over? ’ ‘ Both you and your father are very good.
nyp.33433112045731	Because I do n’t much like Mr Bickerdike, it does n’t follow that I particularly like anybody else. ’ ‘ ‘ Why do n’t you like him?
nyp.33433112045731	But I go no further than the first stop — Winton. ’'Nor I. ’ ‘ O, indeed?
nyp.33433112045731	But how could he have known she possessed'such a thing?
nyp.33433112045731	But no one in especial to excite your jealousy?
nyp.33433112045731	But not on hers?
nyp.33433112045731	But what was he to do?
nyp.33433112045731	But why was he interested in inquiring at all?
nyp.33433112045731	But why was this John Ridgway interested in the recovery of those papers?
nyp.33433112045731	But why, in that case, had she not secured the plunder, given notice to leave, and at once cleared out?
nyp.33433112045731	But you did speak with her?
nyp.33433112045731	But you still thought the entanglement possible?
nyp.33433112045731	But you suspected no rival in particular?
nyp.33433112045731	But — I wonder. ’ ‘ What do you wonder? ’'If the question of that other figure on the hill is puzzling him too. ’ ‘.
nyp.33433112045731	But, supposing it had all been arranged beforehand, before ever he came?
nyp.33433112045731	Can I see her? ’ Mrs Bingley was rung for, and in the interval, while awaiting her appearance, Le Sage approached our host.
nyp.33433112045731	Can you come at once, sir?
nyp.33433112045731	Can you tell me of any particular quarrel, now? ’ ‘ I could——- — ’ began the housekeeper, and stopped.'
nyp.33433112045731	Christian and surname the same? ’ ‘ Precisely one, Monsieur.
nyp.33433112045731	Could I believe in my friend ’s guilt?
nyp.33433112045731	Could you, as a guest, speak to his general character?
nyp.33433112045731	Did I stand on the threshold of a tremendous discovery?
nyp.33433112045731	Did any one shot sound to you nearer than the others?
nyp.33433112045731	Did anything strike you in his manner or expression?
nyp.33433112045731	Did anything suddenly occur to interrupt you at your task? ’ A.
nyp.33433112045731	Did he appear overcome by the news which had greeted him on his return?
nyp.33433112045731	Did he comment on it at all?
nyp.33433112045731	Did he make any remark?
nyp.33433112045731	Did he say anything else?
nyp.33433112045731	Did he say that, Jacob? ’ She spoke softly, with a wonderful new glow about her heart.
nyp.33433112045731	Did he see you?
nyp.33433112045731	Did he utter any threat against the girl, in case her choice was against him?
nyp.33433112045731	Did he?
nyp.33433112045731	Did his manner then show any signs of agitation or disturbance?
nyp.33433112045731	Did not much the same thing occur again, later in the afternoon?
nyp.33433112045731	Did n’t I?
nyp.33433112045731	Did she return your attachment?
nyp.33433112045731	Did the deceased give you her confidence?
nyp.33433112045731	Did you form any conclusion as to what he meant by seeing the thing through?
nyp.33433112045731	Did you notice what became of him?
nyp.33433112045731	Did you pass anybody by the way?
nyp.33433112045731	Did you stop, or linger, for any purpose when approaching the inn?
nyp.33433112045731	Did you tell him what had happened?
nyp.33433112045731	Did you find your friend ’s manner, now, as strange as his talk?
nyp.33433112045731	Do n’t you think you would have done better to leave the gun alone altogether, until the police arrived?
nyp.33433112045731	Do you like him? ’ ‘ I am rather surprised that he and your brother should be on such close terms of friendship. ’ ‘ Are you?
nyp.33433112045731	Do you like him? ’ ‘ I am rather surprised that he and your brother should be on such close terms of friendship. ’ ‘ Are you?
nyp.33433112045731	Do you play chess?
nyp.33433112045731	Do you still adhere to your statement that it was just after three when you heard the sound of the gun?
nyp.33433112045731	Do you value your friends by preference?
nyp.33433112045731	During all this time, while you were looking for the prisoner, or mourning in the tool- shed —( laughter)—-did you encounter any one?
nyp.33433112045731	During the time you were sweeping in the drive, did you hear the sound of a shot?
nyp.33433112045731	Expose at once, or wait and learn more?
nyp.33433112045731	F. 52 THAT THUNDERS ‘ Inquisitive? ’ said he; ‘ I admit it, if it is the word for an inquiring mind.
nyp.33433112045731	For what reason — he, John Ridgway?
nyp.33433112045731	For what reason?
nyp.33433112045731	From the direction of the Bishop ’s Walk?
nyp.33433112045731	From what direction?
nyp.33433112045731	Had he mentioned the reason in his letter to you?
nyp.33433112045731	Had he missed something which he had expected to find among them?
nyp.33433112045731	Had he really invented these cases on the spur of the moment, or could it be possible that they touched on some experience of his own?
nyp.33433112045731	Had n’t you better go back in the meantime and leave your gun with Hanson? ’ ‘ No; do n’t be a fool, or make me seem one.
nyp.33433112045731	Had you any reason to suspect a woman in the case?
nyp.33433112045731	Had you reason to suspect a rival?
nyp.33433112045731	He did n’t, by chance, in saying ‘ I ’m not going to shoot myself, ’ lay any particular emphasis on the last word?
nyp.33433112045731	He had passed by the inn, making north by west, and had long turned HIS CARDS ON THE TABLE 255 this matter, and with what result?
nyp.33433112045731	He looked up and asked, as the detective had asked, ‘ What about your evidence? ‘ ‘ It is said to be immaterial, ’ answered Le Sage.
nyp.33433112045731	He plays a wonderful game. ’ ‘ Is be new to the place? ’ 0, no!
nyp.33433112045731	He refused?
nyp.33433112045731	He said the best thing for them both was to go on playing chess. ’ ‘ How ’s Hugo? ’ ‘ He ’s all right.
nyp.33433112045731	He says to me, he says,"Jacob, fishing helps a man to think; and what d’you suppose I ’ve been thinking about, Jacob?
nyp.33433112045731	He would have a difficulty in dissembling?
nyp.33433112045731	High up, at the meeting of four cross roads, I understand?
nyp.33433112045731	How are we going to p- prove it?
nyp.33433112045731	How did it consort with my latent suspicion of a mystery somewhere?
nyp.33433112045731	How did you leave the kitchen garden?
nyp.33433112045731	How do you do, sir? ’ I confess I was startled.
nyp.33433112045731	How far is it from the high road?
nyp.33433112045731	How much earlier?
nyp.33433112045731	How to recover it?
nyp.33433112045731	How was I to deal with its creations?
nyp.33433112045731	How was I to proceed; what course to take?
nyp.33433112045731	How was he dressed?
nyp.33433112045731	Hugh is not a murderer! ’ ‘ You declare it — in spite of all, Frank? ’ ‘ All what?
nyp.33433112045731	Hugh is not a murderer! ’ ‘ You declare it — in spite of all, Frank? ’ ‘ All what?
nyp.33433112045731	I accom- panied him, did I?
nyp.33433112045731	I am going I4 MY SECOND MEETING down to- morrow, as it happens, on a visit to his people. ’ ‘ No, ’ he said: ‘ really?
nyp.33433112045731	I do n’t think you ever told me his name. ’ ‘ Well, it was Le Sage, and this is the man. ’ ‘ Is it?
nyp.33433112045731	I feel that I got you THE BARON DRIVES 131 here under false pretences; but I could n’t know what was going to happen, could I?
nyp.33433112045731	I suggest that, expecting you to return by the Bishop ’s Walk, she was waiting there to waylay you?
nyp.33433112045731	I was at work on it when you came in —— black Knight( or dark horse, shall we call it?)
nyp.33433112045731	I wonder if you will disapprove, Mr Bickerdike?
nyp.33433112045731	I ’d better write up to Scotland Yard. ’ ‘ If you ’re decided on it, why not apply?
nyp.33433112045731	I ’m con- tent he should do the entertaining, if I can do the helpful. ’ THE BARON DRIVES 137 ’ To me, Mr Bickerdike?
nyp.33433112045731	I ’ve met him before, that ’s all. ’ ‘ Have you?
nyp.33433112045731	If Hugh were innocent, who was guilty?
nyp.33433112045731	In the letter, or afterwards when you met?
nyp.33433112045731	In the meantime-—where ’s Hugo? ’ ‘ I think I saw him go upstairs.
nyp.33433112045731	In what sense, then?
nyp.33433112045731	Indeed?
nyp.33433112045731	Intimate to that degree, I mean, that you have few secrets from one another?
nyp.33433112045731	Is anything wrong with him?
nyp.33433112045731	Is that not so?
nyp.33433112045731	Is that so?
nyp.33433112045731	Is that so?
nyp.33433112045731	Is that the assump- tion?
nyp.33433112045731	It is customary to do so. ’ ‘ In case she should want to use it again?
nyp.33433112045731	It might mitigate, extenuate — who 192 THE BAHON FINDS A CHAMPION I93 could say?
nyp.33433112045731	It might then, in fact, have occurred somewhat earlier or somewhat later?
nyp.33433112045731	It seemed incredible, with a man of his substance and dignity; but is not the history of crime full of such apparent contradictions?
nyp.33433112045731	It was Hugh you were speaking of, not me. ’ ‘ Shall I give your preference?
nyp.33433112045731	It was for the study he was bound, and with what sinister purpose?
nyp.33433112045731	It wrought a measure of effect; a"?
nyp.33433112045731	Know- ing him, it was impossible: and yet that seemingly incontrovertible evidence as to when the shot was fired?
nyp.33433112045731	Leaving your gun where it was?
nyp.33433112045731	M. le Baron sat back in his chair with a ‘ My mate, I think?
nyp.33433112045731	Might it have been nearer half- past three?
nyp.33433112045731	My own way of meeting an awkward inquiry. ’ ‘ What do you mean by awkward? ’ ‘ Why, you wo n’t answer me, of course.
nyp.33433112045731	No good in life?
nyp.33433112045731	No other reason?
nyp.33433112045731	Not a violent man?
nyp.33433112045731	Not so many that you would forget this one or that having called yesterday or the day before?
nyp.33433112045731	Nothing to find out? ’ ‘ Nothing whatever.
nyp.33433112045731	Now will you tell the Bench exactly what time it was when you heard that sound?
nyp.33433112045731	Now, Mr Bickerdike, if you please?
nyp.33433112045731	Now, tell me: why did n’t you mention all this at the Inquest?'
nyp.33433112045731	Now, what time was it when you started to return to your inn?
nyp.33433112045731	On companionable terms would perhaps be the truer expression, eh?
nyp.33433112045731	On the afternoon of the murder, about half- past two, you entered the Bishop ’s Walk?
nyp.33433112045731	On what grounds?
nyp.33433112045731	On your part?
nyp.33433112045731	Or is n’t there?
nyp.33433112045731	Or was it because you feared having to confess to what made you bolt, and from what occupation, when the shot startled you?
nyp.33433112045731	Ought we to have a detective? ’ ‘ These provincial police are excellent men, but their normal training—-—-.
nyp.33433112045731	Please explain what you mean by ‘ not directly ’?
nyp.33433112045731	Poor Audrey! ’ ‘ Why do you call me poor Audrey? ’ asked the girl angrily.
nyp.33433112045731	Q And how did he take it?
nyp.33433112045731	Q, He gave no explanation?
nyp.33433112045731	Q. I ask you if you were aware of any such sound?
nyp.33433112045731	Q. I suggest you knew that she was?
nyp.33433112045731	Q. Mr Hugo Kennett is a particular friend of yours, is he not?
nyp.33433112045731	Q. Mr Kennett having left you shortly before three o’clock?
nyp.33433112045731	Q. Stranger than you had ever known it to be before?
nyp.33433112045731	Repellent to them all in her pride, was it likely they would spare her in her humiliation?
nyp.33433112045731	Ribault, what was the- name of this Goth? ’ ‘ It was the name of my friend, Monsieur. ’ ‘ What!
nyp.33433112045731	Rivals generally, then?
nyp.33433112045731	SO secret, so subtle, so inexplicable, could it still be possible that he was somehow implicated in the affair?
nyp.33433112045731	Shall we go a walk together?
nyp.33433112045731	She always did her best to keep them at a distance. ’'0, quarrels, were there?
nyp.33433112045731	She bowed to Sir Calvin, and faced the detective quietly: — ‘ You wanted to speak with me, sir?
nyp.33433112045731	She entreated you, perhaps, to repair the wrong you had done her in the only way possible to an honourable man?
nyp.33433112045731	She never spoke to you of her past life, or of her former situations, or of her relations?
nyp.33433112045731	She refused you?
nyp.33433112045731	So he had found out my friend ’s name?
nyp.33433112045731	So, that ’s what you gather from the medical report?
nyp.33433112045731	Supposing we apply that rule to common 2* IN THE INDEX 51 converse?
nyp.33433112045731	Supposing we both, here and now, address Sir Calvin on the subject? ’ I was very much annoyed.
nyp.33433112045731	THE INQUEST 93 Q. Do n’t you think it would have been well if it had occurred to you?
nyp.33433112045731	Taking the air, eh?
nyp.33433112045731	That Ridgway is a clever dog. ’ ‘ The detective? ’ queried Le Sage; and the General nodded.
nyp.33433112045731	That being so, I should have thought she would have kept it? ’ ‘ YeS, sir. ’'But you have not come across it?'
nyp.33433112045731	That being so, I should have thought she would have kept it? ’ ‘ YeS, sir. ’'But you have not come across it?'
nyp.33433112045731	That is a good French proverb, and I am going to France in the faith of it. ’ ‘ But you will come back again? ’ ‘ Yes, I will come back.
nyp.33433112045731	That was about two months ago. ’ 0And her former employer? ’ ‘ That was a Mrs Wilson, sir.
nyp.33433112045731	The Red Deer is very lonely situated, is it not?
nyp.33433112045731	The motive?
nyp.33433112045731	Then at least we shall avoid self- committal. ’ ‘ But are we all, every one of us, suspected people?
nyp.33433112045731	Then the Baronet is the man? ’ ‘ How absurd you are!
nyp.33433112045731	Then the girl had already been secretly at work there, fumbling her job maybe?
nyp.33433112045731	Then the inference is that the gun had sud- denly been seized by some one from its position, fired, and replaced where it was?
nyp.33433112045731	Then there was really a reason this time for his having you down at short notice?
nyp.33433112045731	Then you did entertain such a suspicion?
nyp.33433112045731	Then your statement was a fabrication?
nyp.33433112045731	There was a question of emergency, perhaps, in this case?
nyp.33433112045731	They are waiting for you, sir, to know what to do. ’ ‘ It was done with your gun?
nyp.33433112045731	They struck you as meaning business, eh?
nyp.33433112045731	Though your acquaintance with her extended over only a couple of months?
nyp.33433112045731	Throat- cutting?
nyp.33433112045731	Was he far ahead?
nyp.33433112045731	Was he sweet on the girl? ’'‘ I think for some time he had greatly admired her, sir.
nyp.33433112045731	Was his statement substantially true?
nyp.33433112045731	Was it an inspiration?
nyp.33433112045731	Was it because of your desperate mood that you refused to be parted from your gun when you finally left the shoot and returned home?
nyp.33433112045731	Was it climbing the hill fast?
nyp.33433112045731	Was that all?
nyp.33433112045731	Was the girl there when you first entered the path?
nyp.33433112045731	Was the trick due to some malformation of the first finger, or to some congenital impulse?
nyp.33433112045731	Was this a case of an emergency due to his imagination?
nyp.33433112045731	Was this the tree against which he had left his gun leaning?
nyp.33433112045731	Was your arrival that afternoon, may I ask, in response to a long invitation or a sudden call?
nyp.33433112045731	We want no absolution on sufferance — eh, Hughie, my boy? ’ ‘ No, sir, no.
nyp.33433112045731	Were they to the effect that he was in a devil of a fix with a girl, and could only see one way out of it?
nyp.33433112045731	Were you anywhere near the prisoner when he emerged?
nyp.33433112045731	Were you walking fast as you got near the inn?
nyp.33433112045731	What are you trying to get at?
nyp.33433112045731	What can it mean? ’ ‘ Let us hazard a conjecture that he is not wholly satisfied with the evidence against my Louis.
nyp.33433112045731	What can you find in it? ’ She pulled up the pony, and, halting in the road, determinedly faced her companion.
nyp.33433112045731	What circumstances?
nyp.33433112045731	What did he mean by ‘ no good ’?
nyp.33433112045731	What do we any of us know about the Baron, except 138 THE BARON DRIVES that he plays chess for money and consorts with doubtful characters?
nyp.33433112045731	What do you mean by like lovers?
nyp.33433112045731	What do you mean by that?
nyp.33433112045731	What do you mean by ‘ no ’?
nyp.33433112045731	What do you mean?
nyp.33433112045731	What had he done to merit this severe castigation from M. Le Sage?
nyp.33433112045731	What had he wanted in there in the first instance?
nyp.33433112045731	What horrible thing was it which was being approached, threatened, in the shadow of his friend ’s secret?
nyp.33433112045731	What if, after all, it were with Louis himself?
nyp.33433112045731	What induces either of them, then, to sin against the logic of his own profession?

nyp.33433112045731	Why did he play chess for half- crowns?

nyp.33433112045731	Why did n’t he say, when I met him in Paris, that the friend I was waiting for was known to him?

nyp.33433112045731	Why do n’t you? ’ ‘ I did n’t know I did n’t. ’ ‘ Do n’t fib, sir. ’ He chuckled aloud.
nyp.33433112045731	Why do you, who hate hunting, hunt otters, sir? ’ ‘ Because they kill my fish, ’ he replied promptly.
nyp.33433112045731	Why not? ’ asked his host.
nyp.33433112045731	Why not? ’ ‘ Ah!
nyp.33433112045731	Why should I? ’ ‘ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433112045731	Why should n’t he be? ’ ‘ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433112045731	Why, I found myself asking myself?
nyp.33433112045731	Why, what ’s the matter?
nyp.33433112045731	Why, you may ask, had be, after securing possession of, persisted in retaining through all these years that damning witness to his guilt?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you answer my question?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you explain what you mean by that?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you explain what you mean by that?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you swear that she was not there to keep an assignation, and that assignation with yourself?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you swear that that was not the case?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you swear to Mr Kennett having been the gentleman in question?
nyp.33433112045731	Will you tell the Bench what was this unim- portant something that happened at the shoot?
nyp.33433112045731	Would that consideration be enough in itself to goad him on to murder?
nyp.33433112045731	Would that surprise him?
nyp.33433112045731	Would you inform me on‘what subject?
nyp.33433112045731	Would you mind telling us how you disposed of the interval?
nyp.33433112045731	Yet the moment I came to a stand, his voice, and only his voice, accosted me, — ‘ Mr Bickerdike?
nyp.33433112045731	You already knew Mr Kennett by sight, eh?
nyp.33433112045731	You are on very intimate terms, I believe, Mr Bickerdike, with Sir Calvin and his family?
nyp.33433112045731	You are putting up there?
nyp.33433112045731	You asked him, perhaps, to account for his absence?
nyp.33433112045731	You came upon Annie Evans, I understand, shortly after entering the copse, and put down your gun with the purpose of speaking to her?
nyp.33433112045731	You did n’t recognise him?
nyp.33433112045731	You dismissed the idea of Mr Kennett's having been involved with the girl?
nyp.33433112045731	You do n't have many customers in the course of a “ day?
nyp.33433112045731	You do n’t mind my saying so, do you? ’ ‘ On the contrary, I mind very much, ’ I answered.
nyp.33433112045731	You found him in an uncommunicative mood?
nyp.33433112045731	You had no reason to suspect that she was carrying on with anybody unknown to you?
nyp.33433112045731	You have never had reason, M. le Baron, to regard the prisoner as a vindictive man?
nyp.33433112045731	You have n’t a half- hour to spare, I suppose? ’ Mr Bickerdike came promptly out from among the canes.
nyp.33433112045731	You have seen the prisoner before?
nyp.33433112045731	You know the Kennetts then? ’ ‘ I know Sir Calvin.
nyp.33433112045731	You mean the news awaiting you on your return?
nyp.33433112045731	You remember the Montesquieu, and my French Baron? ’ ‘ I remember there was a Baron.
nyp.33433112045731	You returned alone, I believe?
nyp.33433112045731	You say the meeting was none of your seeking?
nyp.33433112045731	You say, Mr Kennett, you left at once, on discovering the body, to give the alarm?
nyp.33433112045731	You state that on your oath?
nyp.33433112045731	You suspected him, in short, of wanting to kill himself under the guise of an accident?
nyp.33433112045731	You were greatly attached to the deceased?
nyp.33433112045731	You were n’t taking it with a wire, I suppose?
nyp.33433112045731	You were on your way back, when you met deceased, from the shooting party which you had abandoned?
nyp.33433112045731	You would n’t want to risk hanging the wrong man?
nyp.33433112045731	You ’ve got a reason? ’ ‘ Just this.
nyp.33433112045731	Your impression, that is to say, that the shot was fired somewhere about three o’clock?
nyp.33433112045731	overcoat?
nyp.33433112045731	that is his secret. ’ ’ But what can he have to do now? ’ ‘ You must ask him, not me.
nyp.33433112045731	there is, or was, in the neighbourhood the very man. ‘'You mean that fellow Ridgway?
nyp.33433112045731	why is it made so difficult for some men to go straight? ’ He paused a moment, his head leaned down on his hands, which held on to the bars.
nyp.33433112045731	~'You have?'
nyp.33433112045731	‘ A distinction without a difference, is it not? ’ No more was said for the moment, while I sat covertly studying the speaker.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ A spirited Diana should have been my antithesis. ’ ‘ But why should you contrast us at all?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ And I am not one. ’ ‘ Why do you make me say these things? ’ she cried resentfully.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ And you stopped to light a cigarette? ’ The father looked keenly into the son ’s face.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Are you one of the right sort of people, Sergeant?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Are you fishing, Jacob? ’ ‘ Me and the master, miss.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Did I not? ’ he said blandly.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Do I? ’ she said presently.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Do you know you never answer anything that ’s asked of you?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Do you know, ’ she said one day, ‘ that Sergeant Ridgway is coming down again from Scotland Yard to see us? ’ ‘ No! ’ I exclaimed.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Do you know?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Do you notice anything characteristic about them now? ’ ‘ No, ’ I said.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Doing a little amateur detective work on your own, sir? ’ he asked sarcastically.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Frank, will you leave your things here, and come a little way with me, please? ’ ‘ 0, Audrey!
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Going south? ’ He nodded genially.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Have I not had enough of cross- examination?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Have you forgotten how, at considerable incon- venience to myself, I responded at once to your invitation, and came down at a moment ’s notice?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ He ’s a tradesman, is n’t he, not a sportsman, and tradesmen do n’t give law. ’ ‘ How did he escape so long? ’ asked the girl.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ How did you know, ’ I persisted, ‘ that my friend was a man?'
nyp.33433112045731	‘ How d’ye mean?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Hugh 1 ’ I said stiffly, ‘ you did n’t mean it? ’ He broke into a mirthless laugh.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ I am still in my novitiate. ’ ‘ You would not care- — — —?'
nyp.33433112045731	‘ I have often thought, ’ said Le Sage, ‘ that if crime realised its own opportunities, there would be no use for detectives at all. ’ ‘ Eh?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ I suppose that was why you confided to Sergeant Ridgway all you knew about Hugh ’s affairs? ’ It gave me a certain shock.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ I wonder now, ’ he said suddenly, ‘ if you would answer a question I might put to you? ’'I ’ll see, my friend.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ I wonder. ’ ‘ What is it?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ In the meanwhile, to what conviction had my reflections led me?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Is it really true that our friend the Baron ’s man has been arrested in connexion with this horrible affair? ’ ‘ Yes, it is quite true.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Is that so?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ It is not true, is it, Baron? ’ ‘ I do n’t think it is, my dear.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ It ’s all right, George, ’ said his master, ‘ only a snap at a rabbit. ’ Had he meant to kill himself?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Jake, I ’m ashamed of you. ’ ‘ And did Redwood save his big shoulders? ’ she asked.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ May I come in?'
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Might I be permitted to see it? ’_ ‘ Who sooner 1 ’ cried the designer.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ No, now I come to think of it- — — — 0, Louis, is that an empty compartment?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Now, that is to anticipate matters a little, per- haps; but grant my deduction sound — as, indeed, it proved to be — and what followed?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Then I will speak for myself alone. ’ Why should he wish to escape?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Then how do you know I am? ’'There is not much mystery in that, ’ said be.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Was that a private way to the house?'
nyp.33433112045731	‘ We knows any- how as it were n’t Master Hugo, Miss. ’ ‘ Do you?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What am I to do? ’ he said.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What became of the written character? ’ he asked presently.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What is it?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What is the infernal procedure?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What would you do if a question were put to you which, for some reason of expediency, or good- feeling, you did not wish to answer?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What would you take him to be? ’'Eh?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What would you take him to be? ’'Eh?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ What? ’ He did not answer, but applied for a refreshing moment or two to his grenadine.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Who is he? ’ asked the detective, when the odd creature was out of hearing.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Who is it? ’ I asked.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Whose murder? ’ The young man ’s lips quivered; he looked physically sick.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Why did the first idea, associating Mr Kennett with the crime, occur to you?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Why? ’ ‘ You would hardly favour it so much otherwise, would you? ’ ‘ Perhaps not.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Why? ’ ‘ You would hardly favour it so much otherwise, would you? ’ ‘ Perhaps not.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You are a student of the game? ’ WITH THE BARON 13 ‘ Not much better, I think, ’ I answered.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You are not staying at the Ritz? ’ I asked.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You do n’t like the Ritz?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You do n’t mean that unkindly?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You mean, sir? ’ ‘ 0!
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You think it is a murder? ‘ ‘ What do you think? ’ ‘ I do n’t know; I suppose so.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You think it is a murder? ‘ ‘ What do you think? ’ ‘ I do n’t know; I suppose so.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ You?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ Your housekeeper, I suppose, engaged the young woman?
nyp.33433112045731	‘ —-—there, where the little gate stood? ’ Audrey told him yes.
nyp.33433112045731	‘ ‘ Do you not think, my friend, ’ he said, ‘ that under the circumstances it would be decent of us to offer to terminate our visit?
nyp.33433112045731	’ I do not think he means to go just yet. ’ ‘ Not?
nyp.33433112045731	” ’ ‘ Well? ’ ‘ “ Why, who it was as killed Annie Evans, ” ’ he says.
nyp.33433112001247	, I “ What is it?
nyp.33433112001247	, Was he English, then?
nyp.33433112001247	- “ In haste, my dear? ” inquired that lady, as she took her seat in the carriage.
nyp.33433112001247	-But what stranger?
nyp.33433112001247	-\Vas it, Jenny? ” “ No, ” was her well- nigh inaudible answer.
nyp.33433112001247	/\, 3 1 3 ‘ v 1’4"?!
nyp.33433112001247	120 “ You know him?"
nyp.33433112001247	2 77 “ When waiting leaves her in continued danger?
nyp.33433112001247	229 other one started in pursuit, and the two are now racing down the street toward the station. ” “ Is that so?
nyp.33433112001247	237 “ Who wrote the letter to Miss Rogers?"
nyp.33433112001247	237 “ ‘ Have you any relatives? ’ he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	25 him here?
nyp.33433112001247	27 interruption, and interruption meant — what?
nyp.33433112001247	49 it be accounted for?
nyp.33433112001247	7 “ What do you mean? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	71 “ But fair? ” Byrd here put in, with a deprecatory glance at the inspector to whom the other was speaking.
nyp.33433112001247	89 “ You are not far wrong. ” “ But two of the victims of this plot have died?"
nyp.33433112001247	?
nyp.33433112001247	A genius?
nyp.33433112001247	After all, what did he care for this or anything else?
nyp.33433112001247	Ah, why had she come at all?
nyp.33433112001247	And how does she look?
nyp.33433112001247	And now, is my sweet one going to forgive me?
nyp.33433112001247	And that was yesterday? ” “ Yes, sir."
nyp.33433112001247	And what have I done to earn it, and what is expected of me in return for it? ” “ Nothing is expected of you, ” gravely returned Mr. Degraw.
nyp.33433112001247	And what is her name, please?"
nyp.33433112001247	And why, when he makes their acquaintance, does he forsake some and injure others?
nyp.33433112001247	And will he hear a knock?
nyp.33433112001247	And yet had it been all humoring on her part — those brilliant glances, those lovely smiles?
nyp.33433112001247	And you talk about giving up your money, so much as it is?
nyp.33433112001247	Anything strange in it?
nyp.33433112001247	Are her thoughts with them?
nyp.33433112001247	Are the best treasures of earth to be given to her who is always heaping treasures in the laps of others?
nyp.33433112001247	Are they coming to this door?
nyp.33433112001247	Are you going to that reception? ” Her gesture seemed to say she was.
nyp.33433112001247	Are you satisfied, and will you marry me tonight?
nyp.33433112001247	At this unexpected response, Byrd, who had been turning to speak to Degraw, stared,'and exclaimed, in his astonishment: “ Fair?
nyp.33433112001247	Before the artist could reply, the mallet was thrust into his hand, young Ferrall was off, and a dozen voices were crying: “ Whose turn?
nyp.33433112001247	But can not I do the watching for you? ” “ You can do better, ” suggested the artist.
nyp.33433112001247	But did she love him?
nyp.33433112001247	But how came you to find her, and have you seen her or not? ” “ No, I have not seen her.
nyp.33433112001247	But how to propose it when her heart is so torn and lacerated? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433112001247	But in another moment he managed to shout once more to the unheeding coachman: “ Where are you going? ” But he did not expect any reply.
nyp.33433112001247	But it is a heaven I must not enjoy too deeply till — ” “ Till what? ” Her sigh was eloquent; she seemed to hang upon his words.
nyp.33433112001247	But now — Well what was this?
nyp.33433112001247	But she said: “ Accomplice for what?
nyp.33433112001247	But was Jenny Rogers a coquette?
nyp.33433112001247	But was the conflict a worthy one and should he uphold her in it by an indulgence which might speak more of weakness than of true manly sympathy?
nyp.33433112001247	But who had the intruder been?
nyp.33433112001247	But whom shall I ask to bear it, if not you?
nyp.33433112001247	But why should it have been your letter? ” “ I do n’t know; I do n’t know.
nyp.33433112001247	But why should it involve mystery?
nyp.33433112001247	By which is the heart of this man moved?
nyp.33433112001247	Can it be possible that she thought me capable of being attracted by such as she? ”-'“ Such women are blinded by their vanity.
nyp.33433112001247	Can not you understand that there are times when we would shut out even the stars from peering into our windows?
nyp.33433112001247	Can you spare the time to listen, or will you come again to- morrow? ” “ I had rather linger now.
nyp.33433112001247	Could any one see such a face and not love it?
nyp.33433112001247	Could he have been mistaken?
nyp.33433112001247	Could his interest in the lovely singer be viewed in this way?
nyp.33433112001247	Did I do right? ” “ Quite right, madam.
nyp.33433112001247	Did I do wrong? ” He shook his head.
nyp.33433112001247	Did he consider the dark cloak a cowardly subterfuge?
nyp.33433112001247	Did she realize it?
nyp.33433112001247	Did she see and respond to the passion which every moment of this sweet but dangerous intercourse was deepening within him?
nyp.33433112001247	Did that man try to kill me? ” “ Yes, darling; but Providence was watching over you, and you escaped.
nyp.33433112001247	Did you ever see such a man as he? ” “ Do n’t ask me.
nyp.33433112001247	Did you ever suspect that Montelli was not really an Italian? ” “ No; that is,‘I have not thought very much about Final Word}.
nyp.33433112001247	Did you ever utter threats against my life?"
nyp.33433112001247	Did you know you were wanted so much? ” “ My presence should be the best answer for that.
nyp.33433112001247	Did you not know who this woman was?
nyp.33433112001247	Did you succeed in meeting him?
nyp.33433112001247	Do they miss something from her look or glance that they have been accustomed to see there?
nyp.33433112001247	Do you ask me why?
nyp.33433112001247	Do you know what name they have given it, Mr. Degraw? ”.
nyp.33433112001247	Do you love me so little as that? ” “ I love you, ” he declared, “ almost to the pOint of folly.
nyp.33433112001247	Do you not see that I am right?
nyp.33433112001247	Do you think there is any harm in yielding to this preference?
nyp.33433112001247	Do you think you can trust me to make you happy?
nyp.33433112001247	Do you think you could, by a few strokes, give me an idea of his face?"
nyp.33433112001247	Do you understand me, Miss Rogers?"
nyp.33433112001247	Does it compensate one for other worldly losses?
nyp.33433112001247	Exasperated, the artist cried: “ Where have I seen you?
nyp.33433112001247	Fifty years I have sought thee, and, now, as I die, thou haltest at my bedside! ’ “ Could I disturb such a hope?
nyp.33433112001247	Flinging caution to the winds, she gasped out in sudden excitement: “ Have you brought me a message from him?
nyp.33433112001247	For what?
nyp.33433112001247	From what have you not saved me?"

nyp.33433112001247	Had ever a girl a kinder friend than she has been to you?
nyp.33433112001247	Had he come, then?
nyp.33433112001247	Had he done so, would he have run with so much single- minded ardor up the steps that led him to the wayward Jenny?
nyp.33433112001247	Had he sacrificed more?
nyp.33433112001247	Had he seen no kindly faces for days?
nyp.33433112001247	Had his heart betrayed itself in his words?
nyp.33433112001247	Had not Mr. Byrd warned him that a detective would be found in Miss Rogers ’ vicinity?
nyp.33433112001247	Had she destroyed her youth?
nyp.33433112001247	Had she evaporated into thin air?
nyp.33433112001247	Had she gone through the floor?
nyp.33433112001247	Had she her secret doubts of this same hair- dresser, and could she in any way have shared the fears of Degraw?
nyp.33433112001247	Had she perished naturally?
nyp.33433112001247	Had she the right?
nyp.33433112001247	Had'she herself become aware of her danger, and was she only playing a part with the man she dreaded?
nyp.33433112001247	Hamilton Degraw?
nyp.33433112001247	Hamilton Degraw?
nyp.33433112001247	Has Hilary seen it? ” “ No, I have not felt at liberty to show it to Miss Aspinwall.
nyp.33433112001247	Has he imposed on you, too, by his devilish urbanity and hypocritical smiles?
nyp.33433112001247	Have I done right, sir? ” The inspector looked at young Degraw, who bore his regard so frankly that he at once inspired confi- dence.
nyp.33433112001247	Have not our eyes told the mutual tale of love? ” “ Is n’t it dreadful?"
nyp.33433112001247	Have not our eyes told the mutual tale of love? ” “ Is n’t it dreadful?"
nyp.33433112001247	Have they been talking scandal about my darling? ” “ Far from it,"Was the quick reply.
nyp.33433112001247	Have they found out that? ” “ Yes, through Mr. Degraw ’s explanation.
nyp.33433112001247	Have you any reason to think she is not a true woman?
nyp.33433112001247	Have you any specimens of his handwriting here? ” Mr. Gryce produced the letter given him by the Detroit heiress.
nyp.33433112001247	Have you decided to what friend or friends you would like to leave this money? ’ “ ‘ I have decided, ’ said the'sick man.
nyp.33433112001247	Have you never experienced any unpleasantness from the possession of this name?
nyp.33433112001247	He had not come and gone while she bartered away her life for a comforting word?
nyp.33433112001247	His conduct surely has not been of a distrustful nature; then why should his thoughts be? ” “ That, dearest, I do not know.
nyp.33433112001247	His landlord or his landlord ’s wife?
nyp.33433112001247	His secret is what we want to get at, and this we can only reach by leaving him at largel Why does he pursue girls by the name of Jenny Rogers?
nyp.33433112001247	How can I express my joy?
nyp.33433112001247	How can I reward you for your goodness?"
nyp.33433112001247	How can he, when at these muttered and well- nigh incoherent words he per- ceives the faintest flush of color sufiuse the cheeks?
nyp.33433112001247	How could she gofurther?
nyp.33433112001247	How did you know about it?
nyp.33433112001247	How else could I be useful?
nyp.33433112001247	How explain this situation?
nyp.33433112001247	How shall I explain it?
nyp.33433112001247	How should I, if he is the wooer of a dozen other girls?
nyp.33433112001247	I am charged, ” and his eye left the picture, though it did not travel to the artist ’s face, “ with a warrant for your arrest! ” “ Arrest?"
nyp.33433112001247	I am his right hand, and he will make no move without me. ” “ Do you not flatter yourself? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112001247	I could not keep my word to him when I found that you still loved me; andI told him — ” “ What? ” She did not answer.
nyp.33433112001247	I have reason for knowing that there is no deception about this. ” “ What reason?
nyp.33433112001247	I will see to them. ’ Does not that show the begin- ning of a conspiracy?
nyp.33433112001247	I would rather he thought me dead till- —"“ Till what?"
nyp.33433112001247	III “ I know that it seems unaccountable,"observed the detective; “ but is that the name?"
nyp.33433112001247	IVhat do you think, sir? ” “ That it will be well enough for me to try, ” was the artist ’s rejoinder.
nyp.33433112001247	Iam not only without an adviser, but I am threatened by a danger — ” “ I know, I know. ” “ You know? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112001247	If he detects the deception to which this old friend of mine has subjected him, what may we not expect in the way of persecution?
nyp.33433112001247	If he had done so, would he not have lost himself in further questions?
nyp.33433112001247	If she loved him, could she or would she hail this manifest triumph of his rival?
nyp.33433112001247	If you were happy — ” “ IfI were happy? ” A fresh change had come over her; she seemed to hang upon his words.
nyp.33433112001247	Iknow no young girl. ” “ Do you not know Jenny Rogers? ” It was Mr. Gryce who spoke.
nyp.33433112001247	Indeed, they seemed to scintillate afresh?
nyp.33433112001247	Is any one dead or am I under the influence of some vile nightmare? ” “ Yes, ” assented the detective, “ some one is dead.
nyp.33433112001247	Is he an old friend of yours?
nyp.33433112001247	Is he the man who has made the trouble in New York, of which you have told me? ” “ We think so. ” “ Using his master ’s name? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112001247	Is he the man who has made the trouble in New York, of which you have told me? ” “ We think so. ” “ Using his master ’s name? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112001247	Is it a spell of delight or of apprehension which holds her enthralled and makes her a statue of wakefulness amid a household of sleepers?
nyp.33433112001247	Is it asking too much?
nyp.33433112001247	Is it necessary for me to say that this villain has belied me; that, for purposes I dare not fathom, he wished to raise an enmity between us?"
nyp.33433112001247	Is it right to do so?
nyp.33433112001247	Is it safe to do so?
nyp.33433112001247	Is it truth you have been telling me?
nyp.33433112001247	Is it wise to do so?
nyp.33433112001247	Is itmania on his part, or has he some scheme aflOat which involVes the wholsale sacrifice of these innocent girls?
nyp.33433112001247	Is not that so, Miss Rogers? ” “ Anxious?
nyp.33433112001247	Is not that so, Miss Rogers? ” “ Anxious?
nyp.33433112001247	Is she to have her reward, then?
nyp.33433112001247	Is that not enough?
nyp.33433112001247	Is that what you would say? ” She smiled pitifully.
nyp.33433112001247	Is the world going to move on again in its accustomed orbit?
nyp.33433112001247	Is there anything you would like to do before going with us? ” Then Mr. Degraw turned pale.
nyp.33433112001247	Is there no hope for me, whose only thought is to make you the protecting angel of my life?
nyp.33433112001247	Is this because I have come too late?
nyp.33433112001247	It is from no idle curiosity that I ask. ” “ Will she marry me?
nyp.33433112001247	It was the sudden shrink- ing of my nerves that made me look at her. ” “ And you saw traits that assured you that it is she? ” “ Yes and no.
nyp.33433112001247	JENNY. ” “ Can you do what she asks? ” Hilary inquired.
nyp.33433112001247	May I be allowed to express the hope, then, that I shall not be compelled to address you till I can inclose Mr. Morris ’ letter?
nyp.33433112001247	May I not hope for one word, one look uninfluenced by the presence of others?
nyp.33433112001247	Montelli? ” he cried, and looked about him with peering eyes.'
nyp.33433112001247	Mr. Degraw therefore spoke frankly: “ Have I not made myself clear? ” “ Yes and no.
nyp.33433112001247	My life worth anything to him.?
nyp.33433112001247	My real name is Jenny — ” Why did she not finish?
nyp.33433112001247	No summons, did I say?
nyp.33433112001247	Not speak to Miss Rogers?
nyp.33433112001247	Not the artist?
nyp.33433112001247	Oh, Mr. Degraw, will you not leave me?
nyp.33433112001247	Oh, for what? ” The artist stared amazed.
nyp.33433112001247	Oh, was it for this he had come back?
nyp.33433112001247	Oh, who are you?
nyp.33433112001247	On the contrary, he immediately burst out: “ Then of whom are you speaking?
nyp.33433112001247	Or was it but a fancy?
nyp.33433112001247	Or was it required only by dis- interested officials, and for purposes her beauty made him shrink from contemplating?
nyp.33433112001247	Police courts?
nyp.33433112001247	Real money?
nyp.33433112001247	Rob my beauty of its charm and my memory of its grace?
nyp.33433112001247	Shall I go up, as I did yes- terday? ”,, The girl stared, looked helpless, and made no response.
nyp.33433112001247	Shall I pursue the adventure?
nyp.33433112001247	Shall I relate to you my pedigree, or send for that leaf in our family Bible which is duly inscribed with my name? ” “ Could you? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433112001247	Shall I relate to you my pedigree, or send for that leaf in our family Bible which is duly inscribed with my name? ” “ Could you? ” “ Mr.
nyp.33433112001247	Shall I tell Jenny so?
nyp.33433112001247	Shall I tell you my story? ” “ Certainly, ” responded the artist, his more gener- ous instincts coming to the surface.
nyp.33433112001247	Shall we listen to what they say?
nyp.33433112001247	She did not forget that you would expect her?
nyp.33433112001247	She has much thought, has madame. ” “ And so ill? ” “ Ah, oui; she may not live till night.
nyp.33433112001247	She is disguised, you say? ” “ Admirably, if the woman I saw is she.
nyp.33433112001247	She must decide upon one, but.which, which?
nyp.33433112001247	She smiles, but who could not smile when suddenly raised to a kingdom?
nyp.33433112001247	She was provided with keys. ” “ But how could she have known of my letter — of — of its being there?"
nyp.33433112001247	Should she utter the words that we're trembling on her tongue?
nyp.33433112001247	Should she?
nyp.33433112001247	Sin- ister, eh?
nyp.33433112001247	So I ran away again and came here. ” “ Alone? ” “ Alone.
nyp.33433112001247	Something sudden; there were doctors with her last night! ” “ And she sent you here, to- day? ” “ Yes, mademoiselle.
nyp.33433112001247	Suddenly she asked: “ You know his name, then?"
nyp.33433112001247	TVho will tell Hilary? ” the signorina now cried.
nyp.33433112001247	Teach me. ” “ Will I not?
nyp.33433112001247	Tell you that the sweet innocence of which you have so often spoken was the mask which hid a scheming heart?
nyp.33433112001247	The artist laughed; what ridiculous joke was this?
nyp.33433112001247	The servant, then?
nyp.33433112001247	The talk is ofwwhat?
nyp.33433112001247	Then a step sounded on the floor, and the signorina pantingly cried, from behind the door: “ Who is it?"
nyp.33433112001247	Then turning to the other: “ May Ibring him along?
nyp.33433112001247	Then what is this?
nyp.33433112001247	Then, as the inspector made no reply, he inquired: “ Any points to give me, sir?"
nyp.33433112001247	There was not a bluer- eyed girl in the school. ” “ And her name? ” “ Is Jenny Rogers."
nyp.33433112001247	These foreigners are so vindictive. ” “ We will watch her. ” “ And I may sleep? ” “ Soundly. ” “ You are a good fellow, Byrd.
nyp.33433112001247	This, with the name you here see upon it? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ It is another man ’s card, surreptitiously inclosed in the note,"he decided.
nyp.33433112001247	V__, What did it mean?
nyp.33433112001247	Was Jenny Rogers a Coquette?
nyp.33433112001247	Was he look ing?
nyp.33433112001247	Was he near?
nyp.33433112001247	Was he watching?
nyp.33433112001247	Was her portrait wished by father and friends?
nyp.33433112001247	Was his exile to be made unbearable by this revela_ tion of secret rapture over a gift bestowed by his fraudulent rival?
nyp.33433112001247	Was his hunger one of the soul?
nyp.33433112001247	Was it his manner?
nyp.33433112001247	Was it in welcome or in warning?
nyp.33433112001247	Was it safe to travel its moonlighted surface, within sight, as be perceived it to be, of fully one- half of the house?
nyp.33433112001247	Was it that she felt the burning ardor of this stranger ’s glance, and realized the complications which a new love at this time would occasion?
nyp.33433112001247	Was it wise in her?
nyp.33433112001247	Was not the man in sound mind, after all?
nyp.33433112001247	Was not this woman a bright, Frenchy- looking girl? ”,.
nyp.33433112001247	Was she dreaming?
nyp.33433112001247	Was she hoping?
nyp.33433112001247	Was she listening?
nyp.33433112001247	Was the old fellow smitten?
nyp.33433112001247	Was this merely accident or was it design?
nyp.33433112001247	Were there facts in her life which she had omitted to relate?
nyp.33433112001247	Were those words the plea of a coqiiette or the despairing cry of a threatened and perplexed woman?
nyp.33433112001247	What adventurer? ” “ The other Degraw.
nyp.33433112001247	What could be more probable?
nyp.33433112001247	What could it be to her?"
nyp.33433112001247	What did it mean?
nyp.33433112001247	What did it mean?
nyp.33433112001247	What do I hear? ” she suddenly asked, in a muflfed, yet penetrating voice.
nyp.33433112001247	What do you say?
nyp.33433112001247	What do you suppose has become of her? ” “ That we must find out.
nyp.33433112001247	What do you think?"
nyp.33433112001247	What fruit?
nyp.33433112001247	What had it all meant?
nyp.33433112001247	What has called it forth?
nyp.33433112001247	What has happened?
nyp.33433112001247	What has my name got to do with this matter? ” “ A great deal.
nyp.33433112001247	What have I done to fear them or you or any one, for that matter? ” “ Shall I tell you?"
nyp.33433112001247	What have I done to fear them or you or any one, for that matter? ” “ Shall I tell you?"
nyp.33433112001247	What have I done, what has any of us done that you should come here with a knife? ” The Valet.
nyp.33433112001247	What hope is there of finding her?"
nyp.33433112001247	What if, in the meanwhile, the present object of his attentions falls a victim to his mania? ” “ She will not.
nyp.33433112001247	What is the first thing you would ask for? ” She laughed, she dimpled, she looked lovely.
nyp.33433112001247	What is to be done with this money if I decide to give it up?"
nyp.33433112001247	What makes you think this?
nyp.33433112001247	What other face or form could ever compare with it in his eyes, and where, if he lost her, could he hope to look for embodied love and poetry again?
nyp.33433112001247	What was happening in Mr. Degraw ’s private room, or wherever it was that the detective had chosen to confront him?
nyp.33433112001247	What was it?
nyp.33433112001247	What was the charm which made this vigil more alluring than the repose which awaited him in his own rooms?
nyp.33433112001247	What were his dreams?
nyp.33433112001247	What were his thoughts?
nyp.33433112001247	What will you do? ” “ Wait, too.
nyp.33433112001247	What?
nyp.33433112001247	When she and the artist, who persisted in follow- ing her, were again in the hall above, she found strength to say: “ Is it all a dream?
nyp.33433112001247	Where are her friends?
nyp.33433112001247	Where are this gentleman ’s clothes?
nyp.33433112001247	Where in the city is she?
nyp.33433112001247	Where is there a physician?
nyp.33433112001247	Where will they finally rest?
nyp.33433112001247	Where? ” “ He tried to escape from us at the depot.
nyp.33433112001247	Which will she choose, which, which?
nyp.33433112001247	Who can say?
nyp.33433112001247	Who can tell?
nyp.33433112001247	Who shall I say wants to see her? ” Jenny flushed.
nyp.33433112001247	Who was Andrea Montelli?
nyp.33433112001247	Who was even this old crone?
nyp.33433112001247	Who was he?
nyp.33433112001247	Who was he?
nyp.33433112001247	Who was he?
nyp.33433112001247	Who was this young girl?
nyp.33433112001247	Who would care to repeat?
nyp.33433112001247	Who, then?
nyp.33433112001247	Whose money?
nyp.33433112001247	Why did he not thrill before it?
nyp.33433112001247	Why did she look at him so strangely and drop her eyes and shake her head?
nyp.33433112001247	Why has he come here?
nyp.33433112001247	Why is he not one instead of being a useless artist?
nyp.33433112001247	Why not have left him in an uncertainty as horrible now as her own?
nyp.33433112001247	Why should there be no one in the house from whom he could obtain intelligible replies to his queries?
nyp.33433112001247	Why think of it? ” “ Because I do not feel at ease abOut him; nor do you, for all your seeming gayety.
nyp.33433112001247	Why? ” “ Because I had a strange suspicion last night when I saw the fellow who attacked you lying on the floor at the foot of the staircase.
nyp.33433112001247	Will not the guardian spirit of her mother see her peril and stop the unconscious girl thus hurrying upon her doom?
nyp.33433112001247	Will she have love?

nyp.33433112001247	Will you sit, Mr. Degraw, while I read Mr. Morris ’ note? ” The stranger smiled and bowed and took the seat offered him.
nyp.33433112001247	Would he be welcome?
nyp.33433112001247	Would he see and wonder what her non- committal costume meant?
nyp.33433112001247	Would his own love or even this great amount of money serve to blind her to the noble and elevated qualities of this man?
nyp.33433112001247	Would it have been better if I had left her such in the painting?
nyp.33433112001247	Would it have been better if I had?
nyp.33433112001247	Would she be proof against such passion?

nyp.33433112001247	You knew there ’s another man here who calls himself ‘ Hamilton Degraw, ’ did you not? ” “ Yes. ” “ Well, he passes for a gentleman.
nyp.33433112001247	You look so good; would that have made me good, too?"
nyp.33433112001247	You see, this is the second time I have had to be a harbinger of good news to you. ” “ Good news?"
nyp.33433112001247	You suffered a cruel mortification, for which you can now congratulate yourself? ” “ O!

nyp.33433112001247	lVould he not have wondered why she gazed at him so intently, with eyes that were certainly not lacking in earnestness, if they were in candor?

nyp.33433112001247	you here? ” was the quick reply.
nyp.33433112001247	~,~ “ Shall I hear from you to- night? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	‘ Did you never see or hear from her again?'
nyp.33433112001247	‘ I am very sick; nothing will ever bring me cure but death. ’'“ ‘ Can anything bring you happiness? ’ I asked.

nyp.33433112001247	’ “ Are you not good? ” he smiled.
nyp.33433112001247	“ A rogue?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Ah, how can I?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Am I to leave you to his mercy? ” “ He is gone and Annetta has locked the door.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Am I too late? ” the detective seemed to ask, as he shut the door behind him, and advanced.
nyp.33433112001247	“ An agent of his, then? ” “ Possibly. ” “ With an errand of death?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ An agent of his, then? ” “ Possibly. ” “ With an errand of death?"

nyp.33433112001247	“ And my letter?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ And when did these men come out? ” 224 Weleome and Unweleome Intruders.
nyp.33433112001247	“ And where is this villain now? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ And who made you — who gave you this for me — your employer, Madame —? ” “ Oui, mademoiselle; who else?
nyp.33433112001247	“ And who made you — who gave you this for me — your employer, Madame —? ” “ Oui, mademoiselle; who else?
nyp.33433112001247	“ And you will not go? ” she entreated, her breast heaving, her eyes wandering, her form swaying to and fro.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Are you going to press me for that? ” his look appeared to ask.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Are you not going to follow Miss Rogers ’ advice? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Benjamin! ” he called, “ how ’s this?
nyp.33433112001247	“ But does it not possess too strong a resemblance to the original to be exhibited publicly?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ But, ” objected Mr. Degraw, as they passed out of the gate into the broad street of this beautiful village, “ who is the second man?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Byrd I ” he cried, “ what does this mean?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Can you guess who was my model for that? ” Jenny ’s eyes met his, and he thought he never saw her look more glowing.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Can you not foresee the rest?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Can you not guess the rest, Hilary? ” Miss Aspinwall thought she could, but did not say so.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Can you not speak English? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Dear friend, what are you going to do? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Degraw, is that you? ” There was surprise in the genial tones; an artist and a detective do not often meet.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Did I start?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Do I look as if I were afraid of the police?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Do you believe in God?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Do you love me enough to consider my'pride? ” he went on.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Do you observe the couple over there? ” one of Miss Aspinwall ’s lovers — not the most generous — whispered in her ear.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Do you recall that day or can you realize even now all that it was to me?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Each one of these girls was a Jenny also. ” “ A Jenny?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Generally. ” “ Some one has jumped out of it. ” “ How do you know that? ” “ Here is the mark of a foot in this down pillow.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Have any of those canvases and things been moved? ” he inquired.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Have you just come, and did the spirit of divination bring you?
nyp.33433112001247	“ He has got there; he has gone to his rooms, What shall we do?
nyp.33433112001247	“ He is not alone; did you expect to see him alone? ” The signorina drew back.
nyp.33433112001247	“ He?
nyp.33433112001247	“ How can I bear the shame of it and all the talk?
nyp.33433112001247	“ How did it happen? ” she now cried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ How is that?
nyp.33433112001247	“ I have not the best of news to give you. ” “ Why? ” “ What? ” exclaimed they, one and all.
nyp.33433112001247	“ I have not the best of news to give you. ” “ Why? ” “ What? ” exclaimed they, one and all.
nyp.33433112001247	“ If I were not to be allowed to die, why this wealth and beauty of adornment?
nyp.33433112001247	“ If Mr. Degraw can not come, will he send an immediate message to that effect?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ If it was not stolen by a deteCtive, I shall be surprised. ” “ What do you mean? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Is he not present?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Is love so sweet?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Is she deaf? ” was his mental inquiry.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Is she not there?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Is there no one I can call? ” he persisted, turn¢ ing now toward the door.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Is this woman a foreigner? ” he inquired again.
nyp.33433112001247	“ It is beautiful, it is a dream, but where shall 1 find the face I seek?
nyp.33433112001247	“ It is set for a week from now, is it not? ” She bowed again.
nyp.33433112001247	“ It is then a vital thing with you; you really want her for your wife?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Jenny Rogers? ” he re- peated.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Looking at me now and remembering my fail_ ure, can you imagine such folly?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Love you? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433112001247	“ MISS JENNY ROGERS: Will you let a true friend warn you?
nyp.33433112001247	“ May I bring this gentleman?
nyp.33433112001247	“ May I guess that it is your future wife? ” she whispered.
nyp.33433112001247	“ May we enter? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Miss Aspinwall?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Montelli?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Mr. Byrd is the detective who saved your life in Great Barrington?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Mr. Degraw ’s man? ” she repeated.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Mr. Gryce, how can I thank you?
nyp.33433112001247	“ My wine is there; what do you suppose it means? ” he cried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Natural deaths, Degraw. ” “ Natural deaths?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Never?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ No bad news, I hope? ” he murmured, as he brushed by Byrd.
nyp.33433112001247	“ No names? ” he replied.
nyp.33433112001247	“ No, no; how can you think it?
nyp.33433112001247	“ No; the question is: Am I the man who has been seen in connection with these innocent girls?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Nor French? ” She smiled again and muttered a few more of her foreign words, this time with a deprecating air and an entreating gesture.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Oh, where is my guardian?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Oh, ” she murmured as she caught his look, so unmistakably full of suppressed love; “ how can I thank you for your sympathy?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Person who ordered it?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Shall I kneel for pardon? ” she faintly murmured, holding her two arms outspread in an attitude of pro- found contrition.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Shall I find her in her rooms?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Shall we not start immediately for her house? ” Miss Aspinwall rang for her maid.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Some one has been helping himself to my best sherry, ” said he, “ or I would offer you a glass after your ride. ” “ Whom do you mean?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Sweet one, ” welled up from his lips, “ was that the sigh of your departed spirit grieving it had left a body that could be so loved?
nyp.33433112001247	“ The Signorina Valdi?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ The house is not on fire, then?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ The question is: Was that the first you heard of it?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ To take care of myself? ” she queried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ To- morrow, then?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Understand? ” she murmured.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Was ever a woman more beautiful? ” he cried, and showered his tenderness upon her.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Was he so — so — angry? ” demanded Jenny.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Was this card in the letter I hold? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ This card?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Was this card in the letter I hold? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ This card?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Well? ” asked Mr. Gryce, pausing before his colleague.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What do you mean?
nyp.33433112001247	“ What facts are these? ” exclaimed the artist, after one terrible moment.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What have you discovered?
nyp.33433112001247	“ What is it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What is it? ” she cried; for she saw at a glance that he was greatly distressed.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What is this? ” he asked, pointing to the ashes beneath, that were wet, or appeared to be so.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What shall we do? ” queried Mr. Degraw, of Cleveland.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What sort of play is this? ” she cried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What trappings are these? ” she cried, pointing to the bed and glancing down at her own garments.
nyp.33433112001247	“ What, Miss Rogers?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ When did you paint this?
nyp.33433112001247	“ When?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Where is Signor Montelli? ” asked the artist.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Whither are we going? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Who are you? ” she cried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Who is it?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Who is that woman who is just going up? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Who is that?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Why do you come here?
nyp.33433112001247	“ Why do you say that? ” she demanded.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Why else should he have deceived me by saying he was a detective? ” “ A detective? ” repeated Mr. Degraw, of Cleve- land.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Why else should he have deceived me by saying he was a detective? ” “ A detective? ” repeated Mr. Degraw, of Cleve- land.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Why, whom have we here? ” he asked, pointing to the picture which Degraw had denominated 90 Horaee Byrd.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Will that suffice to make my presence welcome, even if I should bore you with a personal question or two?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Will you be mine? ” “ Will I not? ” exclaimed the signorina.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Will you be mine? ” “ Will I not? ” exclaimed the signorina.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Will you be my friend? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Will you come in? ” And he hastened to unlock the door, from which they had momentarily stepped aside.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Will you sit down, Mr. Degraw? ” “ With pleasure, sir, ” rejoined the artist.
nyp.33433112001247	“ Wo n't you take a trip to New York just fora week?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Yes. ” “ And with you?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ Yet I saw you talking with her yesterday. ” “ In the ravine?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ You Overrate your power and underrate your danger. ” “ What do you mean? ” inquired the artist.
nyp.33433112001247	“ You are not hurt? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ You are right,"said he, “ and by his visit he has probably saved my life. ” “ What ’s that? ” “ He warned me.
nyp.33433112001247	“ You ask that? ” she cried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ You did not have any struggle with this man? ” “ No; I have been in no danger; that is, for the last few hours.
nyp.33433112001247	“ You know him? ” whispered Miss Aspinwall."
nyp.33433112001247	“ You leave yOur window open? ” he remarked.
nyp.33433112001247	“ You want to see a picture?
nyp.33433112001247	“ You will answer questions?"
nyp.33433112001247	“ ‘ And was that the end? ’ I impetuously cried.
nyp.33433112001247	“ ‘ Are you Michael Delaney? ’ asked the lawyer, speaking in a kind but business- like tone.
nyp.33433112001247	“ ‘ What does this gentleman owe you?'
nyp.33433112001247	“ ‘\Vell? ’ asked the lawyer, with some anxiety.
nyp.33433112001247	“\Vhat is the name of the gentleman of whom you are speaking?"

osu.32435018490987	From what reason?
osu.32435018490987	Had anything risen since then to cause question?
osu.32435018490987	He asked it twice. ” “ After that what did he do? ” The sheriff's face could not have become more effulgent, but his embarrassment increased.
osu.32435018490987	He was in bed. ” “ What did he say when you entered? ” “ He did n’t say nothing.
osu.32435018490987	How had they learned Mr. Mas- ton's habit of going to the bridge at night alone?
osu.32435018490987	How has he tried to explain things? ” “ He has n’t said anything yet.

osu.32435018490987	I admit that my life has n’t been up to some people's ideals, but what difference does that make?
osu.32435018490987	I could get back the same day, I suppose? ” They were now at the door.
osu.32435018490987	I do n’t remember. ” “ Was the coat double- breasted? ” “ Did n’t notice. ” “ Was it open? ” “ It might have been.
osu.32435018490987	I do n’t remember. ” “ Was the coat double- breasted? ” “ Did n’t notice. ” “ Was it open? ” “ It might have been.
osu.32435018490987	I imagine that he did n’t care to face the public sentiment that might have resulted. ” “ Public sentiment?
osu.32435018490987	I met Mr. Maston last??
osu.32435018490987	I met Mr. Maston last??
osu.32435018490987	I think you can make this one reasonable. ” “ You see nothing weak about it? ” “ It will do.
osu.32435018490987	Is it because the Republic has reached a climax and is now sinking?
osu.32435018490987	Is it because the world is growing worse?
osu.32435018490987	Is it punishment for a guilty man we ask?
osu.32435018490987	Is it the dearest wish in your life that you should marry her? ” He rose, deep happiness 53 THE UNSEEN JURY supplanting the wonder and amazement.
osu.32435018490987	It might have been a week earlier you saw the men, might it not?
osu.32435018490987	It would be a comfort to believe it. ” “ Has anybody else spoken to you about the case? ” George asked nervously.
osu.32435018490987	It would n’t be quite honourable. ” “ Not honourable to deliver such a message?
osu.32435018490987	Lee Davidson?
osu.32435018490987	Lee could never have done that| He Wo n’t you tell me you do n’t believe it?
osu.32435018490987	Lee's words had been those of an innocent man, and his bearing guiltless, but could he be trusted?
osu.32435018490987	Maston kept horses? ” George resumed after reflection.
osu.32435018490987	My mind is not absolutely set- tled on that point. ” “ Could the man have been dead before reach- ing the water? ” “ I think so.
osu.32435018490987	Nothing seri- ous, I hope? ” George smiled slightly.
osu.32435018490987	Now, after he was awake that morning, did he say any- thing to you admitting guilt, or did he do anything you construed an admission of guilt?
osu.32435018490987	One question kept recurring: “ Shall I ever have an opportunity to pay this back? ” Out of the soft, enfolding darkness there was no anSWer.
osu.32435018490987	Ought he to have allowed sympathy thus to over- ride reason?
osu.32435018490987	Perhaps once or twice a week. ” “ The month preceding his death, how often did Mr. Maston ride? ” “ None at all, sir.
osu.32435018490987	Perhaps you have n’t said anything against me in words, but would you in the future? ” The stern lips of the lawyer relaxed.
osu.32435018490987	That brought me to a sudden resolve. ” “ To do what? ” A barely audible murmur swept through the court- room.
osu.32435018490987	The act would be still pleasanter to remember if nobody knew I had done it. ” “ And after that? ” He sank back idly.
osu.32435018490987	The trial ca n’t come too soon l ” “ You are sure there ’s nothing you want?
osu.32435018490987	Then I was scared and ran home. ” “ How do you remember what afternoon it was? ” Mr. Taylor demanded, on cross- examina- tion.
osu.32435018490987	There 24I A NECESS ARY FARE WELL “ Yes? ” Surprise and wonder mingled in the word.
osu.32435018490987	They are therefore privileged. ” “ Then you are no longer his counsel? ” “ I am not his temporary counsel.
osu.32435018490987	To think that for a whole week now work is behind me and I can do absolutely nothing all the time! ” “ Nothing? ” Ruth laughed.
osu.32435018490987	Twenty years, is n’t it? ” “ Twenty- two, sir, twenty- two come August! ” the man answered proudly.
osu.32435018490987	Was Lee Davidson guilty or innocent, and how could either be proven?
osu.32435018490987	Was a favourable impression sufficient?
osu.32435018490987	Was he strong enough for the situation?
osu.32435018490987	Was it altogether right to him to leave the matter in obscurity?
osu.32435018490987	We ’re going to enjoy ourselves the next few days, are n’t we, George? ” she added in utter good- fellowship.
osu.32435018490987	What I want to know is this: Are you going to help me with Mr. Maston? ” “ NO. ” “ All right, then l ’ ” Lee sprang to his feet.
osu.32435018490987	What are the chances?
osu.32435018490987	What credit should be given the change that had come?
osu.32435018490987	What did he say? ” “ Made me repeat the reason for his arrest.
osu.32435018490987	What did the defendant do next? ” “ It looked as if he 5* “ STOP 1 ” George brought the sheriff up with a more sudden abruptness.
osu.32435018490987	What did you do it for? ” The question was persistent and angry.
osu.32435018490987	What do you mean by this? ” Lasting enmity was in his voice as he Caline 11621.
osu.32435018490987	What else is there?
osu.32435018490987	What facts have been discovered about Mr. Maston's death? ” The old doctor's face hardened from sympathy to bitterness.
osu.32435018490987	What have you been saying to Ruth about me? ” George stopped in his tracks.
osu.32435018490987	What if the change already seen in Lee were preparatory to a greater and lasting change?
osu.32435018490987	What is it? ” The tension in the surrounding darkness an- swered well Lee's mood.
osu.32435018490987	What is your highest ideal?
osu.32435018490987	What more than actually to have seen Lee mur- der Mr. Maston could George demand* No eye had observed the crime, but was there need of such witness?
osu.32435018490987	What shall I do, sir? ” she sobbed.
osu.32435018490987	What strange fatality had brought him home at an hour when she stood perplexed at the dividing roads?
osu.32435018490987	What was his hat?
osu.32435018490987	What was it and how could it be solved without throwing a shadow over Ruth's life?
osu.32435018490987	What was their motive?
osu.32435018490987	What were you say- ing? ” Fear spoke in the soft voice and wrinkled her forehead.
osu.32435018490987	Where does that bring us?
osu.32435018490987	Where had these men come from?
osu.32435018490987	Who could this dis- tinguished stranger be, with the deep thoughtful eyes and the complete self- possession?
osu.32435018490987	Why could not his mind have been left with but a sin- gle worry?
osu.32435018490987	Why did I interfere just then?
osu.32435018490987	Why had this other difficulty been added?
osu.32435018490987	Why is it that homicide is increasing so rapidly through this country?
osu.32435018490987	Why not see Dr. Woodruff again?
osu.32435018490987	Why not?
osu.32435018490987	Why should I tell you the evidence I have discovered?
osu.32435018490987	Why should n't I answer questions? ” Lee's expression was all amazement.
osu.32435018490987	Why should that prevent my marrying Ruth?
osu.32435018490987	Will you come? ” Dr. Jaffray smiled at the earnestness of desire.
osu.32435018490987	Will you let me act as your counsel for a day or two till you get somebody else? ” The district attorney's anger had awakened Lee to his peril.
osu.32435018490987	Will you let me have half an hour's talk with my client? ” A sulky growl answered him.
osu.32435018490987	Will you promise? ” There was silence.
osu.32435018490987	Would he be strong enough to crush down his 23 I THE UNSEEN JURY own longing for Ruth that Lee should conquer?
osu.32435018490987	Would the impetus then be sufficient? ” “ Without doubt. ” “ Was the blow sufficient of itself to have caused death P ” “ Perhaps so.
osu.32435018490987	You ca n’t suggest anything?
osu.32435018490987	You do n't know what you ’re saying! ” “ Do n’t I? ” Lee broke off in an amused laugh, not without sadness.
osu.32435018490987	You had played there many other days, had you not?
osu.32435018490987	You understand why I have come to see you this morning?
osu.32435018490987	You ’re not working too hard, are you?
osu.32435018490987	You ’ve lost Ruth, but do n't you think she ’d like it if you stood up straight and showed a little dignity in your disappointment?
osu.32435018490987	You'll have to be stricter with me from now on, I suppose? ” he smiled to the keeper.
osu.32435018490987	“ And what of the evening? ” George asked.
osu.32435018490987	“ And what shall we do to- day? ” she smiled expectantly, quick pleasure coming into her face.
osu.32435018490987	“ Are you afraid of some mis- fortune happening to you? ” “ Yes, ” had come the resolute answer, “ I am.
osu.32435018490987	“ Are you worrying about Lee again? ” “ Yes, for I ca n't stop him, ” Mr. Maston raised his hand in a weary gesture, “ I ca n't stop him.
osu.32435018490987	“ As a last appeal, I ask you: Will you withdraw from this case? ” “ No, ” George answered.
osu.32435018490987	“ Back again? ” he asked, and for a moment did not release her.
osu.32435018490987	“ But how do you remember?
osu.32435018490987	“ Ca n't — ca n't — ca n’t we do anything, sir? ” IO3 THE UNSEEN J U RY George reached down to the outstretched hand.
osu.32435018490987	“ Can that be possible?
osu.32435018490987	“ Can you see your way to a victory? ” “ Not so that I can be certain, or even very con- fident.
osu.32435018490987	“ Did you notice anything odd about Lee this evening? ” “ He — he seemed rather upset about something, I thought.
osu.32435018490987	“ Do n’t an- swer that question or any other till you ’ve seen counsel! ” “ What's that?
osu.32435018490987	“ Do n’t you know me better than that?
osu.32435018490987	“ Do you know that people are commencing to talk about Mr. Maston's opposition to me?
osu.32435018490987	“ Do you know what would happen to any man who had prevented my marrying Ruth?
osu.32435018490987	“ Do you plan to argue that Mr. Maston's death was only an accident?
osu.32435018490987	“ Do you still think he's innocent? ” “ Yes, more confidently than ever.
osu.32435018490987	“ George, what do lawyers say of your chances in the trial?
osu.32435018490987	“ George, where did you go? ” She nervously seated her- self on a window seat built at a bend of the stairs.
osu.32435018490987	“ Had you been in Stanton's saloon? ” George demanded.
osu.32435018490987	“ Has Ruth been told of Davidson's arrest? ” George asked quickly.
osu.32435018490987	“ Have you and Lee been having more trouble?
osu.32435018490987	“ Have you been telling him things about me? ” 26 THE BEGINNINGS OF EN MITY There was no answer.
osu.32435018490987	“ Have you ever done one day's honest work in your life? ” The voice jarred through the silent COurt- room.
osu.32435018490987	“ How could they?
osu.32435018490987	“ How do you know it was half- past ten when you met this man, whoever he was? ” George asked when chance came for cross- examination.
osu.32435018490987	“ How do you think Father really is, now?
osu.32435018490987	“ How long have you been home? ” he de- manded and hastily left the carriage.
osu.32435018490987	“ How long have you been with us, John?
osu.32435018490987	“ I sat in my room a long time, thinking. ” 46 Yes? ” “ I was thinking of Lee and of Father and of you.
osu.32435018490987	“ I saw them there. ” “ Did you walk near them? ” “ Yes, but they moved away from me.
osu.32435018490987	“ I suppose, Mr. Hunter, that you ’re about ready for the Davidson matter? ” The question ended in a high- throated chuckle.
osu.32435018490987	“ I wonder if all our troubles, once we get away from them, will seem as small as that house does? ” He ran a hand through his hair, wearily.
osu.32435018490987	“ I ’m ready too, but has n’t it been a wait?
osu.32435018490987	“ I ’ve done my best, and I ’m not responsible for anything that follows l ” “ What do you mean? ” “ Just this.
osu.32435018490987	“ In the few weeks preceding his death did you notice anything peculiar about Mr. Maston's health?
osu.32435018490987	“ Is Ruth inside? ” “ Yes, but you ’d better hurry.
osu.32435018490987	“ Is n’t he changing?
osu.32435018490987	“ Is n’t it glorious to be simply living a day like this? ” she asked, watching a snowy cloud- pyra- mid gather in the south.
osu.32435018490987	“ Is the Defendant Guilty or Not Guilty as charged in the indictment? ” The room swayed from side to side.
osu.32435018490987	“ None here, sir. ” “ Any on the other side? ” He splashed through the water.
osu.32435018490987	“ Re- 317 THE UN SEEN JURY venge?
osu.32435018490987	“ See here! ” George exclaimed sternly, the in- stant they were beyond hearing, “ Who ’s running this?
osu.32435018490987	“ See here, ” he began, “ what did you mean writing that letter? ” George stopped.
osu.32435018490987	“ Suppose I telegraph Ruth that you ’re coming over to see her to- morrow morning? ” George suggested.
osu.32435018490987	“ Suppose we play that third set after it gets cooler?
osu.32435018490987	“ Surely, Uncle Tom, it would be much more fitting 99 “ Will you promise? ” “ I ca n’t do it.
osu.32435018490987	“ That ’s the soft stuff they teach kids in Sunday- school, is n’t it?
osu.32435018490987	“ Then the district attorney has told his story already? ” “ It ’s all over town by now.
osu.32435018490987	“ Then you awakened him fully, I presume?
osu.32435018490987	“ To- day will be worth remembering, will it not? ” she asked happily as they neared home.
osu.32435018490987	“ We ’ve been happy together this time of your being home, have n’t we? ” Ruth asked.
osu.32435018490987	“ What are you doing, you?
osu.32435018490987	“ What did the defendant do when you awak- ened him? ” George continued.
osu.32435018490987	“ What did the defendant do? ” George re- peated.
osu.32435018490987	“ What did the prisoner say to you? ” Unbearable suspense rested over the room as men awaited the answer.
osu.32435018490987	“ What did you do it for?
osu.32435018490987	“ What do we seek in this case? ” he concluded.
osu.32435018490987	“ What do you say to a game? ” he called to George on the shady veranda, point- ing to the court behind the house.
osu.32435018490987	“ What do you say to a little walk?
osu.32435018490987	“ What do you suppose Jack Wilkins is doing now? ” Ruth asked curiously.
osu.32435018490987	“ What do you think of the evidence against Davidson? ” he asked in tones roughened by passion.
osu.32435018490987	“ What do you think we are? ” George reached for his hat, “ Good- bye, Lee, I want to talk to some people down street.
osu.32435018490987	“ What does Davidson say?
osu.32435018490987	“ What is it, George? ” Her wondering glance fell on his muddy shoes and wet trousers.
osu.32435018490987	“ What is it? ” he exclaimed to a man coming toward him.
osu.32435018490987	“ What makes you so serious to- night?
osu.32435018490987	“ What shall I do?
osu.32435018490987	“ What was the reason for that quarrel? ” the rasping voice went bluntly on.
osu.32435018490987	“ What were you saying? ” she persisted.
osu.32435018490987	“ What would you rather do of all things in the world? ” she demanded.
osu.32435018490987	“ Where's Father? ” she asked, lingering fondly on the name.
osu.32435018490987	“ Where's Father? ” she gasped in terror.
osu.32435018490987	“ Where's Father? ” “ There is ” George stopped, his voice failing.
osu.32435018490987	“ Who is the man he ought to be?
osu.32435018490987	“ Why am I quiet? ” George asked.
osu.32435018490987	“ Will you tell me just when it was you last saw Mr. Maston, and where? ” Lee was blind to the danger.
osu.32435018490987	“ Would I do anything to shield Lee if I knew he had injured Uncle Tom? ” he asked, waiting till Ruth had become quiet again.
osu.32435018490987	“ Yes, ” came the answer defiantly, “ for a few minutes. ” “ And after that did you go to McTeague's? ” “ For a little while.
osu.32435018490987	“ Yes? ” “ I do n’t think this is just the fair thing to do, and hope you will use your influence to stop it.
osu.32435018490987	“ You are Miss Maston? ” Ruth started at the timbre of the voice, modu- lated though it was from its usual gruffness.
osu.32435018490987	“ You care for Ruth that way?
osu.32435018490987	“ You have n’t a doubt of his innocence? ” “ Not one.
osu.32435018490987	“ You know that, too. ” “ Well, what does it matter after all? ” came the laugh of a cynic.

uc1.b2839509	If a man is a blackguard, why not say so?
uc1.b2839509	If some price or other has been offered you, why should that interest me?
uc1.b2839509	In an idling, half- formless way she was thinking, “ Why not live with it? ” WHEN LOVE SPEAKS 99 A line of Omar's came into her head.
uc1.b2839509	In fighting the devil, some fire is necessary. ” He laughed good- naturedly over 164 WHEN LOVE SPEAKS y?
uc1.b2839509	Is it selfish?
uc1.b2839509	Is n’t it Shelley that has something very neat in that line about his hoofs? ” He spoke gayly.
uc1.b2839509	Is n’t that the way? ” Frederick tipped back his big head and laughed, mellow and deep.
uc1.b2839509	Is that correct, Frederick? ” he asked lightly.
uc1.b2839509	Kept you waiting? ” he sang out ami- ably, as he swung up to the curb.
uc1.b2839509	Not any on Dennis O'Neill's side? ” He understood her.
uc1.b2839509	Old Alphabet mentioned you. ” “ What about me, Dennis? ” David asked, still kindly.
uc1.b2839509	Prosecutor? ” the Court demanded.
uc1.b2839509	Put her out! ” Do n’t you think I ’ll love my husband better and be more worthy of him because I saved that woman?
uc1.b2839509	Schlimmel, the saloon- keeper, signed the bond. ” “ Where is he?
uc1.b2839509	She could forgive him the lawful blow — but what then?
uc1.b2839509	Suppose I could have run here a month if I had n't seen the police?
uc1.b2839509	That's a right idea! ” “ Could you lend me fifteen dollars, Ted?
uc1.b2839509	The question is, How did Mrs. Trescott come to keep possession of these letters? ” Codley hunched forward with an oddly avid move- ment.
uc1.b2839509	There were cases in the war of brothers firing at each other — and still with personal love. ” “ Oh, but why do you say I'm firing at you?
uc1.b2839509	They'd say in a minute, ‘ What's that lying little Irishwoman doing here?
uc1.b2839509	This is n’t the right way. ” Yet what could she do but love him with all her might?
uc1.b2839509	Three months is all the time we ask. ” “ Where is my security? ” Frederick asked, in tones dull but steady.
uc1.b2839509	WHEN LOVE SPEAKS 101 “ Davy 1 Could n't you have done anything? ” she wailed, and again sobbed aloud.
uc1.b2839509	Want to see me? ” said David, genially, and at the same time he gave his wife's arm a little humorous Squeeze, which meant that she was to stay.
uc1.b2839509	Was he really base?
uc1.b2839509	Was his honor, that many others loved, an old coat that he could swap or give away? ” “ Even that, Loie, ” David answered.
uc1.b2839509	What business save one could keep him now?
uc1.b2839509	What do we care for that? ” He gave a little shrug of one shoulder.
uc1.b2839509	What do you want of those letters? ” “ I tol ’ you what I wanted of'em l ’ Mrs. Doane struggled to keep herself measurably in hand.
uc1.b2839509	What else is the money for? ” He too spoke gravely, under the sudden generous emotion, and as simply as herself.
uc1.b2839509	What had that to do with Fanny?
uc1.b2839509	What luck? ” She threw the ques- tions at him in a lump, still laughing in a way which both made a joke of him and took him to her heart.
uc1.b2839509	What right had Fred- erick to bargain?
uc1.b2839509	What would I do with Winthrop's rocky New Eng- land gods?
uc1.b2839509	What would he demand of her?
uc1.b2839509	What would she answer?
uc1.b2839509	Where's Dolton? ” Winthrop de- manded, throwing his shoulder against a swinging door from the trainshed to the waiting- room of the station.
uc1.b2839509	Which one of you could fail? ” “ Well, I could n’t, Loie, ” he replied good- naturedly.
uc1.b2839509	Who's this woman? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	Why did n’t you stop it? ” His voice was excited, harsh, and accusing.
uc1.b2839509	Why do you say I'm on the enemy's side? ” David exclaimed.
uc1.b2839509	Why should anybody else complain? ” “ How profited? ” He smiled.
uc1.b2839509	Why should anybody else complain? ” “ How profited? ” He smiled.
uc1.b2839509	Why should he do it on this day?
uc1.b2839509	Why should he tor- ment and mutilate himself 2 Why should n’t he take some joy into his little life?
uc1.b2839509	Why should n’t they be satisfied with half as much profit, and reduce the price of lights somewhat?
uc1.b2839509	Why should you be setting me stunts to do?
uc1.b2839509	Will you do that? ” Ted faintly nodded, still like a sick but obedient child.
uc1.b2839509	Wogan, what would you want to hurt me for?
uc1.b2839509	Would I let a blackguard like Doane — it's not a bad thing, Lou, that she's got a wolf for a brother. ” “ But what about Winthrop?
uc1.b2839509	You do n’t suppose I like this kid- napping business, do you? ” He looked the old practitioner in the eye a moment.
uc1.b2839509	You do n’t suppose I ’d have my fingers on'em two minutes and not destroy them? ” “ How did you get them 7 ” Codley demanded.
uc1.b2839509	You must come clear over to our side, Davy — with honor and truth and justice Not on Dennis O'Neill's side Do n’t you see?
uc1.b2839509	º “ If you want Dolton on another matter, why do n’t you have him rearrested? ” the judge suggested.
uc1.b2839509	“ All still well? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ And the trouble? ” David insinuated gently.
uc1.b2839509	“ And you? ” David prompted.
uc1.b2839509	“ Are n’t you going to get some break- fast? ” he asked, as though the joke were under- stood between them.
uc1.b2839509	“ But this woman, Teddie?
uc1.b2839509	“ But what good is that?
uc1.b2839509	“ But what is it? ” Kittie exclaimed.
uc1.b2839509	“ Ca n’t you see, Lou? ” he replied.
uc1.b2839509	“ Crank, am I? ” The old gentleman softly ground his teeth, and his voice rose.
uc1.b2839509	“ David — truly, do n’t you know what they did to Frederick? ” she asked, low.
uc1.b2839509	“ Davy| Tell me truly — in what's past, from the very beginning, did you ever misunderstand me? ” “ I do n’t think I ever did, ” he said.
uc1.b2839509	“ Dennis? ” she repeated — and hesitated, in an odd pain.
uc1.b2839509	“ Do n’t you see?
uc1.b2839509	“ Do you know Mrs. Trescott's hand? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ Do you think you have my proposition firmly fixed in your mind, Penrose? ” he said coolly.
uc1.b2839509	“ Exactly what I ’ve done, Lou? ” he said rather low.
uc1.b2839509	“ Friendly, are n't you? ” the lawyer inquired lightly.
uc1.b2839509	“ Get out the dope and we'll burn it. ” “ Do you mean it, Harris? ” she cried with a note of pleasure.
uc1.b2839509	“ Good old friend Why would n’t I lend you all you want?
uc1.b2839509	“ Have you got the letters? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ Have you the originals of these letters? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ He seems to be the man, eh? ” Codley replied, rather absently, for it did not interest him very much.
uc1.b2839509	“ He was n’t never caught running a policy shop, was he? ” Fanny's lips parted.
uc1.b2839509	“ He was required to testify, you know. ” “ Do you think so? ” he asked, with some surprise on his part.
uc1.b2839509	“ Hello?
uc1.b2839509	“ Here? ” he repeated blankly, not understanding.
uc1.b2839509	“ How are you getting along? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ How much is it? ” “ Thirty- five thousand dollars, ” David replied.
uc1.b2839509	“ How was I to know?
uc1.b2839509	“ How would this hypothesis strike you?
uc1.b2839509	“ I do n’t seem to have as much luck as I ’m entitled to. ” “ Nothing turns up? ” Julius suggested.
uc1.b2839509	“ I suppose you could n’t tell me whether Dennis O'Neill has sold out? ” he asked simply.
uc1.b2839509	“ I ’m getting ready to resign. ” “ Resign? ” she repeated.
uc1.b2839509	“ If I can make a dollar, what you want to stand in my way for?
uc1.b2839509	“ Is dinner ready? ” “ I think so, ” she said.
uc1.b2839509	“ Is it greedy?
uc1.b2839509	“ Is the law a minor item of a whiskey trade?
uc1.b2839509	“ Is the man much hurt? ” she asked, as soon as his voice ceased.
uc1.b2839509	“ Loie, why should I sit by and see the old man robbed?
uc1.b2839509	“ Refolfers?
uc1.b2839509	“ Sober, Loie? ” she asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ Sup- pose I should n’t, and you and I should n’t meet again?
uc1.b2839509	“ Telephone him, I suppose; send him a note. ” “ Why not send the girl to him, now that she's here? ” Codley suggested.
uc1.b2839509	“ That you ’re to exert yourself to prevent David Donovan from testifying? ” “ I ’ll never forget it!
uc1.b2839509	“ The girl Fanny says so. ” “ What's the girl's idea? ” “ She has n’t any. ” Codley looked up then.
uc1.b2839509	“ The little boy? ” Her voice broke in a sob.
uc1.b2839509	“ Trescott? ” Mrs. Penrose regarded her ques- tioningly.
uc1.b2839509	“ We do n’t need Dennis, do we, dear? ” He laughed somewhat forcedly.
uc1.b2839509	“ We ought to have her in the lists with us! ” “ Will you? ” She bent forward a little, smiling at his laughter, yet eager.
uc1.b2839509	“ Well? ” said the Court, sharply.
uc1.b2839509	“ What are the terms? ” he asked kindly.
uc1.b2839509	“ What are you up to now, Wogan? ” he asked cheerfully.
uc1.b2839509	“ What business is it of yours, anyhow 2 She's as much my mother as she is yours, ai n’t she?
uc1.b2839509	“ What do you propose, Codley? ” he said, and his own articulation sounded strange in his ears.
uc1.b2839509	“ What do you want to go there for? ” Jennie demanded, regarding her dubiously, and at a loss.
uc1.b2839509	“ What do you want? ” he asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ What else is there to do? ” he answered rather sullenly.
uc1.b2839509	“ What has happened? ” she demanded.
uc1.b2839509	“ What have you been up to, Ted, that makes you so gay? ” He laughed, too.
uc1.b2839509	“ What is it, Teddie? ” he asked, under his breath, quickly.
uc1.b2839509	“ What it is, Davy 2 Are they hurt? ” she moaned.
uc1.b2839509	“ What makes you think your feet are all right? ” “ They brought me to you.
uc1.b2839509	“ What you getting back to that rot for?
uc1.b2839509	“ What's the rent of a box for three months, Johnny? ” he in- quired jocularly.
uc1.b2839509	“ What's this you're up to with Wogan, girl?
uc1.b2839509	“ What's yours, Wesley? ” WHEN LOVE SPEAKS 159 “ It ’s plain enough, ” said Wogan.
uc1.b2839509	“ When will you come for the potato — to- mor- row? ” Louise demanded gayly.
uc1.b2839509	“ Which is the most to you, David — that or your wife?
uc1.b2839509	“ Who is he, David 2 What is it? ” Louise asked breathlessly.
uc1.b2839509	“ Who ’s that with Ted? ” she asked.
uc1.b2839509	“ Why did n't you head her off? ” Old Alphabet demanded, harshly and frowning.
uc1.b2839509	“ Why did n’t you telephone me, Endicott?
uc1.b2839509	“ Why does n’t the Times say something about it? ” she asked abruptly.
uc1.b2839509	“ Why should I wish to hear it? ” she answered.
uc1.b2839509	“ Why should it be? ” Winthrop asked, as though he really did not know.
uc1.b2839509	“ Why should n't I buy it? ” “ Maybe just because he is an ‘ old crank, ’ ” she replied rather vaguely, and smiled a little.
uc1.b2839509	“ Why, we're helping Fred in his suit against the Nogiac distillers. ” “ You are? ” she cried breathlessly.
uc1.b2839509	“ Will David be here? ” he asked, under his breath, gravely.
uc1.b2839509	“ Wogan? ” He sat beside her, smiling.
uc1.b2839509	“ You do n't mean you'll give me away? ” he de- manded.
uc1.b2839509	“ You do n’t hear the call, dear? ” she asked, not much above a whisper.
uc1.b2839509	“ You do n’t really think I'd carry those letters around?
uc1.b2839509	“ You stand all — every bit — on our side now?
uc1.b2839509	“ Yourself, Clancy? ” David asked with some surprise.
uc1.b2839509	“ Yu’ll be re- memberin ’ Peter Costello — lives out by the dump?
pst.000005618880	, She said she knew you? ” She glanced at her inquiringly.
pst.000005618880	. ” “ What was it? ”'J He hesitated, and went on.
pst.000005618880	.6?
pst.000005618880	202 THE GREEN JACKET “ And then —? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	222 THE\GREEN JACKET speaking into the tube—“Is that you, Elise?
pst.000005618880	8 THE GREEN JACKET “ How did you find me? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	A partner?
pst.000005618880	And he paid up everything — all the debts — between the 3d and the 26th. ” “ You found where he got the money, of course? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	And how is Jacob? ” asked Milly, taking the eager hand.
pst.000005618880	And not one stone comes in! ” “ How much did you know about them? ” asked Milly curiously.
pst.000005618880	And yoii are not really a dressmaker? ” Milly smiled.
pst.000005618880	Are n’t you neg- lecting Miss Marshall? ” she inquired politely.
pst.000005618880	But it would have been all right — if things had gone as I expected. ” “ You did not make the money, you mean? ”.
pst.000005618880	But those emeralds”—he shook his head — “ I think they will not come! ” “ No? ” “ No — a strange case! ” said the man.
pst.000005618880	But you ’re going to be busy, you say? ” The little moment of hesitation in the son ’s manner gave way to quick response.
pst.000005618880	But — a week?
pst.000005618880	Can you manage for Margaret to be free if I want her? ” “ It is so annoying — this morning of all others! ” said the woman excitedly.
pst.000005618880	Can you understand that I could feel like that about a chain of jewels? ” “ Perfectly, ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	Could he be insane?
pst.000005618880	Could you get her for me now, right 05, do you suppose? ” He looked a little bored.
pst.000005618880	Did you know?
pst.000005618880	Do 72 THE GREEN JACKET not think of the emeralds again till I ask you about them. ” “ But I have not told you all! ” protested the woman?
pst.000005618880	Do you want these altered? ” She indicated the dresses of outworn style that hung pathetically from the wardrobe poles.
pst.000005618880	Does he suspect some- thing? ” “ Hush! ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	Go on — who knew of his ‘ borrowing ’ the money? ” “ Only me — and Marian, ” she said softly.
pst.000005618880	Have you seen them? ” He shook his head with a long, knowing smile.
pst.000005618880	He is a poet. ” “ How is he different? ” she asked curi- ously.
pst.000005618880	He was always fond of his wife. ” “ ‘ Was ’?
pst.000005618880	He ’s done things enough to land him in jail any day! ” “ Do you know that? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	How is Karl? ” she asked abruptly.
pst.000005618880	How is Mrs. Stransky? ” “ Oh — Sarah! ” He raised his voice to the THE GREEN JACKET 79 back of the shop.
pst.000005618880	How would you begin? ” he asked cautiously.
pst.000005618880	I have no other, and I promised my husband to go motoring with him. ” THE GREEN JACKET 125 “ When do you go? ” “ This afternoon.
pst.000005618880	I should have to work on your cipher first. ” “ Yes? ” She beamed on him.
pst.000005618880	I shut the door on them and locked it — when I went away from home. ” “ Why did you go? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	I told you I should be square with you, did n’t I? ” “ Yes. ” The girl ’s eyes dropped sullenly.
pst.000005618880	I finally borrowed from the bank I was in — three thousand dollars. ” “ Borrowed it? ” “ Yes. ” He looked at her.
pst.000005618880	If you go out there to work, you ’ll like them all. ” “ All —? ” “ By Jovwthat ’s so!
pst.000005618880	Is it far from the station to your house? ” “ About five miles, ” said the woman.
pst.000005618880	Is it the taste of it you want? ” His eyes sought the corners of the room for answer, and his hand turned the old felt THE GREEN JACKET 29 hat.
pst.000005618880	Is that ‘ un — kind ’? ” she mimicked.
pst.000005618880	Is there something I can do for you? ” She pushed his card a little aside with her finger and looked at the man.
pst.000005618880	It was only a mock love! ” “ Why did you never ask for the truth? ” she demanded.
pst.000005618880	Mason wants the car for the next train in. ” “ He goes in every day, I suppose? ” said the seamstress pleasantly.
pst.000005618880	Milly ’s THE GREEN JACKET 277 “ How long are you going to be here? ” he asked.
pst.000005618880	My money?
pst.000005618880	S0? ” The hands spread themselves wider.
pst.000005618880	Sadie had a better start than you have, Mollie. ” “ What do you mean by that? ” demanded the girl.
pst.000005618880	Sargent told you he was not going to prosecute, did n’t he?
pst.000005618880	Shall I file them again? ” He shrugged his shoulders.
pst.000005618880	Shall you be there?
pst.000005618880	Shall you need me? ” “ No.
pst.000005618880	She had her little riding horse and clothes and about everything a girl could have. ” 182 THE GREEN JACKET “ Jewelry? ” asked Milly quietly.
pst.000005618880	Some- times I did not open the box for days. ” “ Did you tell your husband? ” “ At once.
pst.000005618880	THE GREEN JACKET 14 5 “ Ca n’t you send her away? ” she pleaded softly.
pst.000005618880	THE GREEN JACKET 157 “ About eleven. ” “ And you are not going into town? ” Milly felt the anxiety that tinged the question.
pst.000005618880	THE GREEN JACKET 247 “ Why did you go away? ” she repeated gently.
pst.000005618880	Telegraph. ” “ Shall I use code? ” “ Mercy, no!
pst.000005618880	That was why I came. ” “ What was the nurse ’s name? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	The man ’s voice seemed to demur a little, and yielded at last half- grudgingly to the woman, and she turned to the mouthpiece: “ Are you there?
pst.000005618880	The watch- ful eyes behind the screening door noted every movement keenly — a kleptomaniac — “ possessed ” by the jewels?
pst.000005618880	They belong to avery high grade of work. ” “ You take murder cases, do n’t you? ” he retorted.
pst.000005618880	They bring their cases to a serum specialist — don’t they? ” She nodded toward the card on the desk.
pst.000005618880	They made a high old time about letting me in! ” “ You ’re not due till Thursday, are you? ” “ That ’s the day! ” said the girl.
pst.000005618880	They ’re simple sort of folks. ” “ Are they? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	This man will try to see you, I suppose? ” “ Yep.
pst.000005618880	V “ WILL you sit down? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	Was it fancy, or did a swift, half- frightened look flit from the woman to her mistress?
pst.000005618880	Was there trouble? ” She shook her head.
pst.000005618880	We did not know what she might do some day. ” “ Did she say this to Marian? ” “ Not in words, ” he said quickly.
pst.000005618880	We have only to go to his room. ” “ His room? ” “ The library — on this floor. ” She moved a hand toward the front of the house.
pst.000005618880	What do you call changed? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	What have I gained?
pst.000005618880	What have I gained? ” he repeated brokenly.
pst.000005618880	What is it?
pst.000005618880	What was she like? ” “ Marian? ” He seemed to hold the name a moment, as if it echoed a little sadly to him.
pst.000005618880	What was she like? ” “ Marian? ” He seemed to hold the name a moment, as if it echoed a little sadly to him.
pst.000005618880	When shall I see you again? ” His face was a study.
pst.000005618880	Who is it?
pst.000005618880	Why are you here? ” “ Sit down, ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	Why did n’t you tell me that before? ” she demanded.
pst.000005618880	Why?
pst.000005618880	Will you make an excuse to see me again, as soon as you can — when your father is not here? ” He glanced at her keenly and nodded.
pst.000005618880	Yet she suddenly became harsh with Marian — cruel almost! ” “ And there was no reason for it? ” The question was searching and gentle.
pst.000005618880	You do n’t know any one — who is trustworthy, do you? ” ’ 9 THE GREEN JACKET 107 The girl looked at it.
pst.000005618880	You made a mistake that time, Miss Newberry. ” “ Did I? ” She looked thoughtful.
pst.000005618880	Your mother did not tell you, because she has given everything into my hands. ” 7 “ May I speak to her about it, later? ” “ If you like.

pst.000005618880	case — — “ The Hudson case? ” asked Milly in sur- prise.
pst.000005618880	f‘Did you ever have one like that? ” she asked softly.
pst.000005618880	years ago when the emeralds dis- appeared? ” The woman ’s face seemed suddenly to pale.
pst.000005618880	‘ Do n’t you see, Milly? ” He held out his arms in an awk- ward, tender gesture.
pst.000005618880	‘ “ How long will she be here? ” he asked.
pst.000005618880	“ A few days — you do n’t mind, do you, Oswald? ” “ Of course not, ” he said brusquely.
pst.000005618880	“ A poem? ” repeated the woman, with puzzled eyes.
pst.000005618880	“ A — poem? ” THE GREEN JACKET 151 “ Yes.
pst.000005618880	“ All those? ” asked Milly, incredulous.
pst.000005618880	“ Always bad, is n’t it, Mr. Stransky?
pst.000005618880	“ And now? ” said Milly softly.
pst.000005618880	“ And this necklace was stolen? ” asked Milly quietly.
pst.000005618880	“ And you believe Marian stole the neck- lace and got the money for your son? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ And you thought she took them? ” “ Oh — I did n’t know! ” The woman ’s hands in the wrinkled gloves clasped them- selves tightly.
pst.000005618880	“ Anything wrong? ” demanded Corbin ir- ritably.
pst.000005618880	“ Are you a detective? ” she asked doubt- ingly.
pst.000005618880	“ Are you satisfied? ” she asked, smiling.
pst.000005618880	“ Are you sure the change came then — when she went away? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ Are you the cook? ” she asked doubtfully.
pst.000005618880	“ Are you the new sewing- woman? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Are you through, Os- wald? ” Her voice had a note of surprise.
pst.000005618880	“ Are your dresses in here? ” She spoke very clearly and distinctly.
pst.000005618880	“ Bradley is going to send out a car this morning — if you want to see it? ” He waited her answer, not look- ing at her.
pst.000005618880	“ But she is not here — she will never be here again! ” “ Are you sure? ” said Milly gently.
pst.000005618880	“ But suppose you give the false ones up — yield them once for all, asking nothing in return? ” THE GREEN JACKET 3 r 1 He regarded her intently.
pst.000005618880	“ But were they — worth as much as that? ” “ Oh, more — much more! ” cried the woman.
pst.000005618880	“ But what if two white liars marry and all of the descendants with black hair are black liars? ” Tom laughed out.
pst.000005618880	“ But who is going to tell? ” THE GREEN JACKET 4 5 “ If a man tells a straight story, he ought to have another chance, ” said Milly firmly.
pst.000005618880	“ But why did she suspect me? ” “ She is Scotch.
pst.000005618880	“ Can I serve you in any other way? ” with the slightest emphasis on the “ other. ” She opened a green purse.
pst.000005618880	“ Can I smoke? ” He glanced dubiously about the sunlit room.
pst.000005618880	“ Can you imagine, ” he broke out, “ why she would not tell — whatever it was? ” She pointed to the note.
pst.000005618880	“ Can you understand how I might come to think of it — of the necklace like that?
pst.000005618880	“ Did he tell you both of it? ” “ He did not tell any one.
pst.000005618880	“ Did n’t you tell ’ em? ” 102 THE GREEN JACKET “ No. ” “ Not that Johnnie with the glasses? ” “ McClean?
pst.000005618880	“ Did n’t you tell ’ em? ” 102 THE GREEN JACKET “ No. ” “ Not that Johnnie with the glasses? ” “ McClean?
pst.000005618880	“ Did n’t you tell ’ em? ” 102 THE GREEN JACKET “ No. ” “ Not that Johnnie with the glasses? ” “ McClean?
pst.000005618880	“ Did they come and go in the house? ” “ Not in the house.
pst.000005618880	“ Did you give security? ” He turned as if startled that she should ask him.
pst.000005618880	“ Did you see her? ” “ Yes.
pst.000005618880	“ Did you want me, father? ” “ I always want you, Stephen, ” said the man gently, with a smile.
pst.000005618880	“ Did you want to see me? ” she asked as she drew out the needle and turned her work.
pst.000005618880	“ Did you want to see me? ” “ I thought you wanted to see me, ” he said half- whimsically.
pst.000005618880	“ Did you find anything that interested you? ” she asked kindly.
pst.000005618880	“ Do n’t they kick? ” “ They have to sign for it beforehand, ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ Do n’t you know how you need me? ” She looked at him severely, almost sternly, and after a moment the arms dropped to his sides.
pst.000005618880	“ Do n’t you need to know more than this? ” She made a little gesture.
pst.000005618880	“ Do you mind if I smoke? ” “ No. ” He filled his pipe, crowding down the tobacco with stem touch.
pst.000005618880	“ Do you think I ’d better send you out of town, too?
pst.000005618880	“ Do you want me to wait on ye? ” she demanded.
pst.000005618880	“ Do you want to? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ Does your husband use the room when he is here? ” “ Always!
pst.000005618880	“ For how long? ” he cried.
pst.000005618880	“ Has it been relined? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Have I given you good advice this last year or so i?
pst.000005618880	“ Have you always been a seamstress? ” he, asked after a minute.
pst.000005618880	“ He was hardly more than a boy? ” “ Twenty- three, ” said his mother.
pst.000005618880	“ He — wasn’t I ” “ No. ” “ Who was, then — Do you know? ” “ Mr.
pst.000005618880	“ He ’s a fine fellow! ” “ You trust him, do you? ” She lifted a quiet glance, and something keen waited behind the questioning look.
pst.000005618880	“ He ’s all right, is he? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ He ’s dead stuck on me. ” “ What is\his name? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ How are you, Milly? ” He came forward graciously, holding out a heavy hand.
pst.000005618880	“ How can I know why she needed the money? ”.
pst.000005618880	“ How could I see the butler — in some natural way? ” “ Batson? ” Margaret considered it.
pst.000005618880	“ How could I see the butler — in some natural way? ” “ Batson? ” Margaret considered it.
pst.000005618880	“ How is business? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ How ’s the business? ” “ Oh — so- so.
pst.000005618880	“ I ca n’t tell till I hear, can I? ” A little impatience flicked the words and she smiled.
pst.000005618880	“ I came to ask Mr. Stransky to help me. ” “ Yes? ” The shining eyes consulted her husband ’s face.
pst.000005618880	“ I can go up, can I? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ I did not lock it? ” he said in- credulously.
pst.000005618880	“ I do not look like a woman who would have fine jewels, do I? ” She raised her hollow eyes.
pst.000005618880	“ I never refused you anything, did I? ” ‘ CNO', ’ “ What was it, then?
pst.000005618880	“ I never refused you anything, did I? ” ‘ CNO', ’ “ What was it, then?
pst.000005618880	“ I wonder if you could help me, Mollie? ” she said slowly.
pst.000005618880	“ I wonder what kind? ” he said thought- fully.
pst.000005618880	“ Is every one served? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Is it Stephen? ” he said incredulously.
pst.000005618880	“ Is it nearly done? ” he asked soberly.
pst.000005618880	“ Is n’t there?
pst.000005618880	“ Is that the key?
pst.000005618880	“ Is there a car from Mr. Mason ’s here? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Is there some one else? ” He wheeled on her, searching the look in her face.
pst.000005618880	“ Is your‘case difficult? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ It was little visit, she say — make call! ” “ What for? ” demanded the youth.
pst.000005618880	“ It ’s my last day, is n’t it? ” he suggested with a quiet look.
pst.000005618880	“ Keeps bothering the life out of us, say- ing she ’s got to see you. ” “ Well, she can see me, ca n’t she? ” He looked at her cynically.
pst.000005618880	“ Luncheon, Margaret?
pst.000005618880	“ May I see Miss Newberry? ” he asked.
pst.000005618880	“ May I sit in front? ” asked the seamstress timidly.
pst.000005618880	“ Miss Annie likes me to. ” 132 THE GREEN JACKET “ Miss Annie? ” Milly gazed questioningly.
pst.000005618880	“ More’n she ’s worth! ” “ What is she doing now? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ No? ” “ Bad stufTr! ” he went on slowly.
pst.000005618880	“ Not far enough along, is it? ” He looked stubborn.
pst.000005618880	“ Now What have I done? ” he muttered quickly.
pst.000005618880	“ Now suppose you get drunk in Milwaukee — and hit all round — and are ar- rested again? ” The man started a little.
pst.000005618880	“ Now, can you find Batson for me?
pst.000005618880	“ Or are you just talking? ” 106 THE GREEN JACKET “ I ai n’t talking! ” said the girl.
pst.000005618880	“ Perhaps you hoped she might be — some day? ” she said gently.'
pst.000005618880	“ SO you want to marry some one who is n’t as good as I am? ” he said a little cyn- ically.'
pst.000005618880	“ She called you ‘ aunt ’? ” said Milly with a motion toward the letter.
pst.000005618880	“ She was ‘ under a pledge. ’ ” “ But who — what? ” He started and turned.
pst.000005618880	“ Sit down, wo n’t you? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ Suppose you restored the jewels to her case? ” He stared at her.
pst.000005618880	“ That will be pleasant?
pst.000005618880	“ That ’s near by?
pst.000005618880	“ That ’s to- morrow, is n’t it?
pst.000005618880	“ This one?
pst.000005618880	“ Was the butler here then? ” “ Batson?
pst.000005618880	“ Was the butler here then? ” “ Batson?
pst.000005618880	“ Was there something you wanted, Miss Brigham?
pst.000005618880	“ Was this the room where the jewel- case was kept? ” She asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Well — take it! ” “ You mean you will do as I say? ” A little light leaped into her face.
pst.000005618880	“ Well, what is it? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ Were the stones worth as much as that? ” asked Milly in surprise.
pst.000005618880	“ What could I do? ” “ I thought you might know of some one — — some reliable person I could get to stay with my mother while I am away.
pst.000005618880	“ What did you do when you found it was gone? ” “ At first, as I told you, I tried to keep it quiet.
pst.000005618880	“ What happened then — after you had the money? ” “ Nothing that I expected, ” he said bit- terly.
pst.000005618880	“ What is her other name? ” “ She was Marian Mason, ” said the woman.
pst.000005618880	“ What is it you are making? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ What is it?
pst.000005618880	“ What was it she would not tell? ” His face was thoughtful.
pst.000005618880	“ What was the trouble? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ When did you miss them? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ When does he come? ” asked Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ When may I come and see you, Milly?
pst.000005618880	“ When was it done?
pst.000005618880	“ When was it taken? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ When will it be here? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ When will you give me the history? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Where is it, Mr. Bergman? ” asked Milly quietly.
pst.000005618880	“ Who is Marian? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Who is going to have it — when it is done? ” he asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Who is that — in there? ” He stood looking down, listening to the hurried explanation.
pst.000005618880	“ Who is your new friend? ” she asked quietly.
pst.000005618880	“ Why did you not want them? ” The question was very gentle.
pst.000005618880	“ Why do n’t we take hold of things a little nearer by?
pst.000005618880	“ Why do you say that? ” She still held the needle and regarded him reflectively, her eyes full of the friendliest, kindest feeling.
pst.000005618880	“ Why do you want to drink, Mr. Berg- man? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ Why is it so hard for you to stop?
pst.000005618880	“ Why not begin at the beginning? ” “ Well — I guess the beginning was about five years back when me and Ellen first come here.
pst.000005618880	“ Why not? ” asked Milly curiously.
pst.000005618880	“ Why not? ” he said.
pst.000005618880	“ Why should he stay at home? ” The clinched hands at her sides trembled a little.
pst.000005618880	“ Why should they steal and not try sell? ” he demanded of her.
pst.000005618880	“ Why flaw- E, THE GREEN JACKET 159 should he stay?
pst.000005618880	“ Will it be pious ones?
pst.000005618880	“ Will you come in? ” And as the stranger entered and Tom passed out he was wondering about the man.
pst.000005618880	“ Will you sit down? ” she said.
pst.000005618880	“ Will you tell the cook it is the best I ever ate?
pst.000005618880	“ Would you mind getting out here, please? ” He brought the car to a stop by a side path that led to the terrace, and Milly climbed quickly out.
pst.000005618880	“ Would- you mind if I knit? ” she said.
pst.000005618880	“ Ye- s- s? ” said Milly.
pst.000005618880	“ Yes — Well, you must spend some of the money for good times. ”'“ Good times? ” He scratched his head.
pst.000005618880	“ Yes — wouldn’t you better rest a little? ” “ Rest! ” She laughed and reached out her arms in a careless gesture.
pst.000005618880	“ Yes? ” She was smiling.
pst.000005618880	“ Yes? ” The word waited without com- 200 THE GREEN JACKET ment.
pst.000005618880	“ Yes? ” she said.
pst.000005618880	“ You are Miss Newberry? ” he asked doubtingly.
pst.000005618880	“ You come in? ” “ Not this morning, ” Milly smiled.
pst.000005618880	“ You did not expect to'meet Miss Brigham here, did you? ” “ I certainly did not! ” he said slowly.
pst.000005618880	“ You did not suspect the daughter? ” asked Milly casually.
pst.000005618880	“ You did not find anything? ” said the woman again.
pst.000005618880	“ You do n’t want me for a partner, then? ” He gave her a slow look.
pst.000005618880	“ You had n’t seen him when you reported last week? ” “ Well — I’d kind 0 ’ seen him, ” she replied soberly.
pst.000005618880	“ You have heard of them? ” He nodded darkly.
pst.000005618880	“ You have never been married? ” she asked gently.
pst.000005618880	“ You have never loved any one? ” he said quietly.
pst.000005618880	“ You have not found any- thing yet, have you? ” She asked it almost eagerly.
pst.000005618880	“ You knew there was an adopted daughter, my — sister? ” “ Yes.
pst.000005618880	“ You know my name? ” he asked doubt- ingly.
pst.000005618880	“ You know she wrote a letter to your mother? ” He bowed.
pst.000005618880	“ You know that Stephen was in a bank in town — before he left home? ” She whis- pered the words.
pst.000005618880	“ You say that for a com- pliment — but it is n’t! ” “ How about your clients? ” said Tom ab- ruptly.
pst.000005618880	“ You think that good way? ” he asked doubtfully.
pst.000005618880	“ You think you are competent to do it, I suppose? ” The irony was very gentle and she brushed it aside.
pst.000005618880	“ You want me to take the case? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ You want to come? ” she asked.
pst.000005618880	“ You wanted me to find out who took the emeralds — and then let you decide what should be done with the thief? ” Milly was not looking at her.
pst.000005618880	“ You went to her, did you? ” The voige was gentle, and she raised a grateful look.
pst.000005618880	“ You will come in the morning, then? ” said the voice.
pst.000005618880	“ You wo n’t get rid of me merely by refusing to marry me l ” “ Have you called a cab? ” She was prac- tical and friendly.
pst.000005618880	“ You ’re here for your old work? ” he said.
pst.000005618880	“ You ’ve heard, then? ” “ Mrs.

osu.32435007302094	But what of it, even if it were true? ” “ This.
osu.32435007302094	But what sort of help did she need?
osu.32435007302094	But what was the shattering new idea that had come to him as he lay awake?
osu.32435007302094	But where was Rosinante?
osu.32435007302094	But who had committed the murders?
osu.32435007302094	But who the devil did send that telephone message if he did not? ” Lucas put in a word.
osu.32435007302094	But would Joan be in a position to tell him what was in the will, and would it even be wise to ask her?
osu.32435007302094	But would she ever believe that Woodman had done it?
osu.32435007302094	But would this do either?
osu.32435007302094	But — ” “ Well, is n’t that a motive? ” “ No, my dear, it is n't.
osu.32435007302094	But, apart from the effect of the letter upon Joan, what was likely to be its effect on Sir Vernon?
osu.32435007302094	By the way, how was old Vernon?
osu.32435007302094	Can they be proved so? ” Carter Woodman brought his fist down on the table with a bang.
osu.32435007302094	Can we find him? ” “ I will find him for you; but not till evening.
osu.32435007302094	Can you find me a man of that sort? ” “ Certainly, miss, I can.
osu.32435007302094	Can you give me rather more particulars? ” “ I think I may, though, strictly speaking, the matter ought to be confidential.
osu.32435007302094	Can you say that there is not? ” “ I prefer not to say anything. ” “ That will do.
osu.32435007302094	Can you tell me any- thing further about the young woman?
osu.32435007302094	Carter Woodman speaking. ” “ Is that you, Mr. Woodman?
osu.32435007302094	Could either of these things be true, and, if there was even a chance that either might be true, how could she go and talk about it to Isabelle?
osu.32435007302094	Could he face his fellow- members just yet?
osu.32435007302094	Could you swear to it? ” “ Hardly that.
osu.32435007302094	Dear me, what was it about?
osu.32435007302094	Did you use the writing- room opposite here at any time on the evening of Tuesday, the 17th of this month? ” “ Why, that the very day I come here.
osu.32435007302094	Do n't you see my point? ” “ But why did the murderer lay two inconsistent sets of false clues? ” “ That, my dear inspector, is the point.
osu.32435007302094	Do n't you see my point? ” “ But why did the murderer lay two inconsistent sets of false clues? ” “ That, my dear inspector, is the point.
osu.32435007302094	Do n't you see?
osu.32435007302094	Do you believe Winter did it? ” “ As to that, Miss Cowper, I do not pretend to know.
osu.32435007302094	Do you feel at liberty to tell me about its contents?
osu.32435007302094	Do you know anything more? ” “ No, it was merely a chance that I noticed him and pointed him out to my wife.
osu.32435007302094	Do you know if any one saw him after you? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435007302094	Do you know if he is here? ” Jaxon replied that he had not seen him and asked her to join him and his friend while she was waiting.
osu.32435007302094	Do you mean that you are in doubt about it? ” The superintendent made no direct reply to this.
osu.32435007302094	Do you mean they know who did it? ” “ No, dear.
osu.32435007302094	Do you recognise this walking- stick? ” The inspector had found this lying on the floor of the room.
osu.32435007302094	Do you remember where Walter Brooklyn thought he had left his stick on Tuesday afternoon?
osu.32435007302094	Do you think I did it? ” “ My dear Bob, do n’t joke about it.
osu.32435007302094	Do you think Sir Vernon is anxious to have another scandal in the family?
osu.32435007302094	Do you think he can have done it, Mr. Ellery?
osu.32435007302094	Do you — yourself — believe Winter did it?
osu.32435007302094	Does he ever go to any other restaurant? ” “ I do n't quite know where he'd be, miss.
osu.32435007302094	Does that throw any light on the case? ” “ None whatever, unfortunately.
osu.32435007302094	Even if he wished to alter it, was he well enough to do so?
osu.32435007302094	First, who, as far as you know, was the last person to see the de- ceased alive?
osu.32435007302094	For I was not alone. ” “ Who was with you?
osu.32435007302094	For instance, is she — well — respectable? ” “ I have told you all I know.
osu.32435007302094	Had any one, Joan asked, entered by the yard entrance before he locked up?
osu.32435007302094	Had he been admitted to the house; and if so, when had he left, and why had no mention of his visit previously been made to the inspector?
osu.32435007302094	Had he stayed there, or had he come down again and played some part in the night's doings?
osu.32435007302094	Had you some fresh evidence? ” “ No, inspector, merely some fresh use of the old evidence.
osu.32435007302094	Half- past ten, you said? ” “ Then or then abouts, it must have been. ” “ No, I did n't see him.
osu.32435007302094	Harry Lucas?
osu.32435007302094	Have I told you some- how?
osu.32435007302094	Have n't I said so?
osu.32435007302094	Have n't you done all you can there? ” 314 The Brooklyn Murders “ No.
osu.32435007302094	Have n't you even a word for me? ” “ Why, here is Horace, ” said Kitty.
osu.32435007302094	Have you any reason — any proof at all, I mean? ” “ No, I ’ve no proof; but I ’ve an idea.
osu.32435007302094	Have you ever seen it before? ” Winter's manner showed some hesitation.
osu.32435007302094	Have you got your eye on the scoundrels yet? ” The inspector shook his head.
osu.32435007302094	Have you lost something, sir? ” “ No, but a friend of mine thinks he left a coat and opera hat here a week or so ago.
osu.32435007302094	He gener- ally goes to the Blue Boar every day when he's in this part. ” “ If I try there, and do n’t find him, where else could I try?
osu.32435007302094	He said he must see you, and would wait. ” “ What sort of a man? ” 226 The Brooklyn Murders “ Oh, not a nice man.
osu.32435007302094	He said it was about something important. ” “ Did Sir Vernon see him? ” “ No.
osu.32435007302094	He said my stepfather had made him his heir. ” “ Made whom? ” “ Why, Carter.
osu.32435007302094	He told him to see Mr. Prinsep or to write. ” “ Then, did Mr. Walter Brooklyn go up to see Mr. Prin- sep? ” “ No.
osu.32435007302094	He was alone? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435007302094	He was at the dinner, was he not? ” “ Yes, he ’s a ward of old Mr. Lucas, one of Sir Vernon's oldest friends.
osu.32435007302094	He ’s 33 “ Is n't that just what he would do if he were guilty? ” 286 The Brooklyn Murders “ My dear Bob, this is absurd.
osu.32435007302094	He'd be a good riddance, from what I'ear of'i m. ” “ But you ca n't see a man condemned when you know he's innocent. ” “ Why not, mister?
osu.32435007302094	How does that strike you? ” Joan had listened with a feeling of nausea to Woodman ’s confession.
osu.32435007302094	How on earth had they come to release Walter Brooklyn?
osu.32435007302094	I am off the stage for a long time then. ” “ Was Mr. George Brooklyn a friend of yours? ” “ Yes, in a way.
osu.32435007302094	I believe you were Mr. Prinsep's doctor. ” “ Yes, and I think I may say a personal friend. ” “ What sort of man was he?
osu.32435007302094	I bought it in — let me see, where did I buy it?
osu.32435007302094	I can have in- quiries made locally on the spot. ” “ Then you're inclined to think Winter may have done it? ” “ Not at all.
osu.32435007302094	I have a far more suspicious nature. ” “ Is there anything I can do while you're thinking it over? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435007302094	I have not seen him since. ” “ So far as you know, he had made no appointment with Prinsep for the evening? ” “ I know nothing about that.
osu.32435007302094	I laid him out with a big blow on the back of the head. ” “ With what weapon? ” “ With a sand- bag.
osu.32435007302094	I says, Why not?
osu.32435007302094	I see him go into writing- room. ”- “ And that was the last you saw of him? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435007302094	I steal away. ” “ What time was that? ” “ Eleven by the clock — no earlier.
osu.32435007302094	I want to do something, and I want your help. ” To help Joan'What thing better could Ellery have asked for?
osu.32435007302094	I write my letters. ” “ Do you know when that was? ” “ I go back to writing- room a few minutes after I go back to my room.

osu.32435007302094	If Walter Brook- lyn did not put it there, who did? ” “ Dashed if I know, ” said the inspector.
osu.32435007302094	If Walter Brooklyn did not send that telephone message, who did?
osu.32435007302094	If it was n't George, who was it? ”- “ Surely, Joan, in that case it was the murderer, whoever he may have been. ” Joan sighed.
osu.32435007302094	If nobody else did it, then he did. ” “ But, my dear boy, what possible motive could he have had?
osu.32435007302094	If the theory you advance is true, how do you fit in the times?
osu.32435007302094	If you do, I do n't. ” Sir John Bunnery 333 “ I suppose the murderer will have to be brought to jus- tice. ” “ You do, do you?
osu.32435007302094	If, on the other hand, he stayed outside, what blunder might not be committed in his absence?
osu.32435007302094	In the first place, as matters stand now, who did you say were the principal beneficiaries?
osu.32435007302094	Is n't an old devoted family servant, if he saw the crime, just the man to take his revenge?
osu.32435007302094	Is that Inspector Blaikie?
osu.32435007302094	Is that so? ” Charis Lang 105 “ I confess I am surprised at the question.
osu.32435007302094	Is there any one who can corroborate this? ” Ellery thought for a moment.
osu.32435007302094	Is this The Lie of the Land 305 he? ” and Ellery passed a photograph of Carter Woodman to the Burmese.
osu.32435007302094	It seems they were both there that evening? ” “ I should not have expected so; but it is certainly not im- possible.
osu.32435007302094	It was the common talk, and everybody knew about it except Sir Vernon. ” “ This Mr. Ellery — can you tell me anything about him?
osu.32435007302094	It will all blow over very soon. ” “ But what about poor Helen — I mean Mrs. Woodman? ” said Joan.
osu.32435007302094	Joan, are n't you listening? ” “ Yes, Bob, I heard what you said, and I half think you're right.
osu.32435007302094	May I ask who uses such a stick? ” “ The gentleman's name is Brooklyn — Mr.
osu.32435007302094	May not she have had something to do with the evening meeting at Lis- keard House? ” “ Really, inspector, that is a matter for you.
osu.32435007302094	Might not this fact, he wondered, open up the possibility of a bargain?
osu.32435007302094	Moreover, was he not sus- pected of having killed George Brooklyn, and would not her account of him have made such an act seem more probable?
osu.32435007302094	Mr. Brooklyn came to make to me a dishonourable suggestion that I should help him to extract money from Mr. Prinsep. ” “ In what way? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435007302094	Mr. Wal- ter Brooklyn did come to see me. ” “ Do you know Mr. Walter Brooklyn well? ” “ No, hardly at all.
osu.32435007302094	No, my boy, you go and have your bachelor dinner, and I'll get Winter to send me up an egg. ” “ May n't I share the egg? ” “ Certainly not.
osu.32435007302094	Not the fellow whose name has been in all the papers?
osu.32435007302094	Now that George and Prin- sep were out of the way, who was there to whom Sir Vernon could leave his wealth?
osu.32435007302094	Now what about this woman, Kitty?
osu.32435007302094	Now, are there any other particulars in the will I ought to know about?
osu.32435007302094	Now, how much can you provide — and how soon?
osu.32435007302094	Now, my lad, what do you think about it? ” “ I think just this, Joan.
osu.32435007302094	Of course, I ought to have seen it before. ” “ Ought to have seen it before?
osu.32435007302094	Often have I seen him in Pall Mall. ” “ Yes, but did you see him on Tuesday? ” Joan could not help interrupting.
osu.32435007302094	Or have you seen one like it? ” “ Must I answer that question, sir?
osu.32435007302094	Or have you seen one like it? ” “ Must I answer that question, sir?
osu.32435007302094	Ought I to warn him that what he says may be used against him? ” “ I must leave that to your judgment.
osu.32435007302094	Probably, he could. ” “ And was n't all this the surest way of hastening his end?
osu.32435007302094	Raising the Wind 257 Could he not persuade the sick man to back a bill for him, or better still, write a cheque in his favour?
osu.32435007302094	Robert Ellery 129 how could he go there without seeing Joan?
osu.32435007302094	Robert Ellery?
osu.32435007302094	See? ” Ellery promised his good offices — for what they were worth.
osu.32435007302094	She and Bob were to clear her stepfather together; and, when they had done that, who knew what might come after?
osu.32435007302094	That is all I can tell you. ” “ Where did you go when you left the house? ” “ Straight back to the hotel where I was staying.
osu.32435007302094	That left — whom?
osu.32435007302094	That's the point. ” “ Put down “ Did he stay there?
osu.32435007302094	The Old'un came up and spoke to me, I remember. ” “ The Old'un?
osu.32435007302094	The first question is, How and when did he come back? ” “ I have made every possible inquiry about that.
osu.32435007302094	The police think they have a clue. ” “ A clue?
osu.32435007302094	The superintendent, who was watching her, said very quietly, “ Do you know this girl, Miss Cowper, and can you throw any light on the incident?
osu.32435007302094	The telephone message must be all a mistake. ”- “ Do you mean that he knows nothing at all about it? ” asked Ellery.
osu.32435007302094	Then he said, “ The residue would go, of course, to the next of kin. ”- “ Who is that?
osu.32435007302094	Then it has not been found?
osu.32435007302094	Then may I come around and see you for a few minutes?
osu.32435007302094	Then there was nothing unusual in Mr. George Brooklyn's coming to see you here? ” “ I do n’t think he had ever been to my room before.
osu.32435007302094	Then who remained?
osu.32435007302094	Then, “ And is there anything else you can tell me? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	Then, “ Do n’t you think it's beastly? ” she said.
osu.32435007302094	Then, “ My dear, ” he said, “ I ’m very sorry about it, and you know I will do what I can; but is this quite the time?
osu.32435007302094	Then, “ Where are you speak- ing from? ” came the voice.
osu.32435007302094	There had been some trouble — about a woman, a girl who is acting in a small part at the Piccadilly Theatre. ” “ Her name? ” “ Charis Lang.
osu.32435007302094	There is nothing to lay hold of. ” “ What about the medical evidence as to the time of death?
osu.32435007302094	There's lots to find out yet; but I ’m sure it will come out right now that I know where to begin. ” “ Then who was the murderer, dear?
osu.32435007302094	They're as innocent as you are. ” “ What does it matter if they are innocent?
osu.32435007302094	To and Fro 159 “ Is it possible for some one to come and see him?
osu.32435007302094	To begin with, he said to himself, what had he to go upon?
osu.32435007302094	Very please. ” “ You may think it very strange of me, ” said Ellery, “ but may I ask you a question without explaining fully why I ask it?
osu.32435007302094	Was he in any trouble that you know of? ”- The lawyer hesitated.
osu.32435007302094	Was it possible that he had been arrested already?
osu.32435007302094	Was it possible that the police had a real new clue — possibly even a definite suspi- cion?
osu.32435007302094	Was it some one quite outside the circle he had been studying, and, if so, how had that outsider got access to the house?
osu.32435007302094	Was there any reason to con- nect the incident with the murders?
osu.32435007302094	We do n’t even know at what time the murders were committed. ” “ Is n't that a good point to begin upon?
osu.32435007302094	We were together all that time. ” “ Will you give me his name and address? ” Ellery paused for a moment, and then gave a nervous laugh.
osu.32435007302094	We're meeting some queer people on this job. ” “ Who do you suppose he is? ” asked Joan.
osu.32435007302094	Were her stepfather and Carter Woodman really acting in collusion in an attempt to raise money in anticipation of Sir Vernon's death?
osu.32435007302094	What about Winter himself?
osu.32435007302094	What about the men- servants? ” “ Only two — Morgan and Winter — sleep in the house.
osu.32435007302094	What business is it of yours?
osu.32435007302094	What could it all mean?
osu.32435007302094	What do you mean? ” “ What I mean is you do n't catch me givin'hevidence in this'ere case.
osu.32435007302094	What do you say?
osu.32435007302094	What do you want to know? ” “ How the murders were actually done. ” “ Oh, I have no objection to telling you.
osu.32435007302094	What else could he do?
osu.32435007302094	What had he been thinking out when he dropped off to sleep the night before?
osu.32435007302094	What need have I to know?
osu.32435007302094	What of Mary Woodman herself?
osu.32435007302094	What of Mrs. George?
osu.32435007302094	What on earth for?
osu.32435007302094	What was the pur- pose of the questions just addressed to him?
osu.32435007302094	What were you to do for a fellow who would not tell his own lawyer the truth?
osu.32435007302094	What you've just said makes it clear as clear. ” “ Makes what clear? ” “ Why, the motive.
osu.32435007302094	What's it matter to you, anyway?
osu.32435007302094	What, then, ought his next step to be?
osu.32435007302094	What?
osu.32435007302094	Whatever makes you say such a thing?
osu.32435007302094	When were George and John last seen alive? ” “ Both at some time after eleven.
osu.32435007302094	When were each of these men last seen alive? ” The inspector referred to his notes.
osu.32435007302094	When you found out about the will, did you discover that? ” “ No.
osu.32435007302094	Where does he usually lunch? ” “ Generally at the Blue Boar up Holborn, miss.
osu.32435007302094	Where had he been?
osu.32435007302094	Where then would he have left it?
osu.32435007302094	Which of you was in charge of the front door last night? ” 26 The Brooklyn Murders “ I was, sir, ” replied Winter.
osu.32435007302094	Who stood to gain by getting Walter Brooklyn out of the way? ” “ I see.
osu.32435007302094	Who was it, Bob?
osu.32435007302094	Who was that some one?
osu.32435007302094	Who was with him and where was he? ” “ Ah, that ’s just the difficulty.
osu.32435007302094	Who would be the residuary legatee in that case? ” Woodman paused for a moment before replying.
osu.32435007302094	Who'd have been the heir then — the next of kin, I mean? ” “ Oh, Carter, I suppose.
osu.32435007302094	Whom would he now put in the place which Prinsep had lately oc- cupied?
osu.32435007302094	Why else should the murderer have stabbed a dead man? ” 24 The Brooklyn Murders “ I have no theory, inspector.
osu.32435007302094	Why should I mark the hours?
osu.32435007302094	Why should n't you and I find him ourselves?
osu.32435007302094	Why should she not complete the task she had set herself by having a look round there as well?
osu.32435007302094	Why, I was quite under the impression that they sus- pected me. ” “ Suspect you?
osu.32435007302094	Why, what's the matter? ” “ Well, mister, I may not be what I oughter be — leastways, some folks says I ai n’t.
osu.32435007302094	Will what you wanted to say to me keep till I get round?
osu.32435007302094	Will you be good enough now to tell me yours? ” Joan and Ellery looked at each other, and Joan nodded.
osu.32435007302094	Will you come round here? ” “ When 2 ” “ To- night, if you can.
osu.32435007302094	Winter answered with a nod, and added, “ Yes, I took some letters from him for the post as usual. ” “ Did he say anything about going out?
osu.32435007302094	Wo n't you tell me what the idea is? ” “ No, Bob.
osu.32435007302094	Would Sir Vernon put Wood- man in Prinsep's place?
osu.32435007302094	Would Thomas be sure to keep the time free?
osu.32435007302094	Would they even begin suspecting him, now they had discovered that he was next of kin?
osu.32435007302094	You ca n't remember whether or not Mr. Brooklyn had a stick when he went out? ” “ Not for sure.
osu.32435007302094	You gotter understand that. ” “ Do you mean you wo n't help to clear Mr. Brooklyn?
osu.32435007302094	You have their names. ” “ Did any one else call — later in the evening, for example? ” “ Yes, there was Mr. George.
osu.32435007302094	You know Walter Brooklyn, do n't you? ” Her face at once became serious.
osu.32435007302094	You mean that Winter could without difficulty have sent the message? ” “ Doubtless he could; and so could others.
osu.32435007302094	You mean that there may be a fourth man involved? ” “ That may be so; but I was not quite sure on that point.
osu.32435007302094	You realise, I suppose, that the consequences of your — lapse may be serious? ” “ Oh, nonsense, inspector.
osu.32435007302094	You saw him on Tuesday night, did you not? ” “ I had quite forgotten it; but I did.
osu.32435007302094	“ A queer old stick, is it not? ” said Mr. Porter.
osu.32435007302094	“ About midnight? ” said the inspector, with a note of sur- prise in his voice.
osu.32435007302094	“ And Mr. Bertrand Russell? ” the Burmese was saying, as Ellery managed to talk himself out of the room.
osu.32435007302094	“ And Mr. H. G. Wells? ” Ellery again promised with rather more hesitation, to do what he could.
osu.32435007302094	“ And by the way, Joan, ” he added, “ why should n't you come out and have dinner with me?
osu.32435007302094	“ Ask those two men who are waiting to step in here, will you? ” he said to the sergeant.
osu.32435007302094	“ But there were some people you know of with whom he was not on the best of terms? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ But who put this abom- inable story about? ” “ I can not tell you that, Miss Cowper.
osu.32435007302094	“ But will it convince a jury?
osu.32435007302094	“ But you make an arrest sometimes, do n't you? ” Joan asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Can you find him for us now? ” The constable looked at the sergeant.
osu.32435007302094	“ Can you tell me at what time that evening you were in the writing- room? ” “ Yes, I tell you.
osu.32435007302094	“ Can you tell us at what time you saw him? ” said Ellery.
osu.32435007302094	“ Did I hear my name spoken among you? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Did Miss Cowper know about Miss Lang? ” “ Not that I am aware of.
osu.32435007302094	“ Did you see the master last night? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Do you think he is really unwell? ” “ I must say, miss, he's not well.
osu.32435007302094	“ Eh, what's that you say? ” he said.
osu.32435007302094	“ Had a plea- ant interview? ” asked the latter, familiar with Walter Brook- lyn's ways.
osu.32435007302094	“ Hallo, is that Mr. Woodman?
osu.32435007302094	“ Hallo, what's that you've got? ” he said.
osu.32435007302094	“ Have you ever seen this before? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Have you found the scoundrels?
osu.32435007302094	“ He has told you? ” asked Ellery, as he held open the door of the Cat.
osu.32435007302094	“ He says that he simply strolled about all the time between ten o’clock and midnight. ” “ Alone? ” asked Woodman.
osu.32435007302094	“ How do you mean? ” asked the inspector.
osu.32435007302094	“ How do you mean? ” said the superintendent sharply.
osu.32435007302094	“ How had we better begin? ” he asked, running his hand despairingly through his hair.
osu.32435007302094	“ I beg pardon, sir, but is n't that the stick a gentleman I know used to carry? ” “ No, no.
osu.32435007302094	“ I could never really have.hoped to find it there. ” But was that the end of her idea?
osu.32435007302094	“ I must see you privately at once. ” “ What about? ” “ I ’ll tell you that when we meet.
osu.32435007302094	“ Is that all you know? ” asked Ellery, with an air of disappointment.
osu.32435007302094	“ Is the gentleman known to you, maybe? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Let me have a look at that stick, will you? ” he said to the inspector.
osu.32435007302094	“ Look'ere, mister, ” he said, “ it ’s off. ” “ What's off?
osu.32435007302094	“ Monday, Dear Woodman, Meet me in the garden.—J.P. ” How does that strike you?
osu.32435007302094	“ My dear Joan, ” he said, “ are you quite mad?
osu.32435007302094	“ Nah, if you'd told me that at onct, I ’m not one to stand between a man and his girl. ” “ You ’ll come, wo n't you? ” The man hesitated.
osu.32435007302094	“ Now, can you tell me where Mr. Brooklyn usually goes of a night? ” “ Sometimes to a theatre or variety show.
osu.32435007302094	“ Oh, poor Helen, ” she said, “ what are we to do?
osu.32435007302094	“ Prepared, Marian — pre- pared for what do you mean? ” “ Well, dear, I thought I had better tell you.
osu.32435007302094	“ Released?
osu.32435007302094	“ Surely murder is worse than raising money on false pre- tences, Sir John. ” “ Oh, is it, young man?
osu.32435007302094	“ That being so, is it not safe to conclude that it was sent by one of the inmates, or by the murderer, before making his escape?
osu.32435007302094	“ Then ca n't we still keep it to ourselves? ” said Joan, with a note of hope in her voice.
osu.32435007302094	“ Well, inspector, ” he said, “ what progress?
osu.32435007302094	“ Well, my dear, what news? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Well, my lad, how goes it? ” he said.
osu.32435007302094	“ Well, then, is n’t it clear that he did leave his stick in Wood- man's office?
osu.32435007302094	“ Well, ” said the inspector, “ what's the report? ” The doctor made no answer for a moment.
osu.32435007302094	“ What I say is, What's the police for, if it is n't to stop this kind of thing? ” He jerked his thumb in the direction of the plinth.
osu.32435007302094	“ What about the servants? ” “ Out of the question.
osu.32435007302094	“ What are you doing here? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ What can a man do better than come to the aid of ladies in distress?
osu.32435007302094	“ What was it you wanted to see me about? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Where did you go after leaving Liskeard House? ” he rapped out.
osu.32435007302094	“ Who could have put it there?
osu.32435007302094	“ Who is speaking? ” came the voice from the other end.
osu.32435007302094	“ Who ’s George Brooklyn? ” Inspector Blaikie called out to the doctor in the adjoining room.
osu.32435007302094	“ Why do you ask? ” “ Only because it is surely Mr. Walter Brooklyn's stick.
osu.32435007302094	“ Why do you say that? ” he asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ Why, what's the matter? ” she said.
osu.32435007302094	“ You have arrested Mr. Walter Brooklyn, have you not? ” Ellery asked.
osu.32435007302094	“ You have news for me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112073014	- “ Eh? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	- “ The man Corbet has a landlady, I suppose? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	123 all, and ask for counsel and help?
nyp.33433112073014	155 “ Well, what then? ” smiled Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	169 round the corner — don’t you know? — for what they term half a pint.
nyp.33433112073014	173 “ Have you really?
nyp.33433112073014	23 “ Is anything the matter, Jim dear?
nyp.33433112073014	261 “ After that warm bath, ” said Townshend, with his Odd smile, “ a touch of the douche: can you bear the shock? ” “ I think I can.
nyp.33433112073014	313 booter?
nyp.33433112073014	327 turning suddenly, “ will your friend Graham, with his sprained leg, go back with us quietly, or must we chivy him again?
nyp.33433112073014	333 “ She saw a woman?
nyp.33433112073014	37: he had anything to add to or take away from it, he answered, “ N0. ” “ Was your father drunk? ” asked the coroner — “ in liquor?
nyp.33433112073014	37: he had anything to add to or take away from it, he answered, “ N0. ” “ Was your father drunk? ” asked the coroner — “ in liquor?
nyp.33433112073014	55 good purpose can be served by our going be- hind it? ” “ Oh, I do n’t know! ” she said, clasping her hands in her lap.
nyp.33433112073014	87 is the business in which I could join, or help you?
nyp.33433112073014	A fried chop is an abomination. ” “ Wo n’t you wait, then, for something else? ” said Graham, somewhat put out.
nyp.33433112073014	A “ Have you been to the post office? ” asked Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	Am I to knuckle under to tyranny like that?
nyp.33433112073014	And What will thy mother say to me when she knows I ha ’ let tha do'it?
nyp.33433112073014	And again with fresh insistence the old question arose in his mind: Why on earth should Townshend take such trouble to befriend him?
nyp.33433112073014	And am I not as fair fond 0 ’ thee as I am 0 ’ her?
nyp.33433112073014	And now ’ ere I am, s’welp me! ” “ Well, and now What do you want? ” asked Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	And she ca n’t make any mistake about what they are, either, can she?
nyp.33433112073014	And the police, who believed nobody and suspected everybody, how would they take it?
nyp.33433112073014	And what did he do? ” “ He just lay on his flat in th ’ gutter. ” Mr. Hepplewhite laughed loudly.
nyp.33433112073014	And what fur?
nyp.33433112073014	And where ’s the sense o’t?
nyp.33433112073014	And who could those foreigners be who seemed his active and obedient agents?
nyp.33433112073014	And would he be found thus and ignominously taken again?
nyp.33433112073014	And yet, was there no way of accomplishing that without appearing himself?
nyp.33433112073014	And, Mortimer, put in a couple of revol- vers with a supply of cartridges while I look out a train. ” “ Travel to- night, sir?
nyp.33433112073014	Are you going to get me that cup of tea?
nyp.33433112073014	As soon as it was light enough Townshend sug- gested that Graham should be shaved; would he prefer to shave himself?
nyp.33433112073014	Ask Liz, my dear! ” “ Is she in?
nyp.33433112073014	Away again, James? ” wailed his mother.
nyp.33433112073014	Blacksmithing?
nyp.33433112073014	Bury it? ” “ No, ” said he.
nyp.33433112073014	But I did n’t think you would spot them, do n’t you know?
nyp.33433112073014	But I thought, thinks I, ‘ He wo n’t bear no animosity for what I done. ’ After all, What ’ ave I done?
nyp.33433112073014	But bain’t you going to get rid 0 ’ that?
nyp.33433112073014	But had he the means or the desire to try?
nyp.33433112073014	But how did you know about me?
nyp.33433112073014	But how was he to be bribed?
nyp.33433112073014	But the fact is, all the tricks and little wick- ednesses I ’ve ever known I learnt at Sunday school. ” “ Really?"
nyp.33433112073014	But what does that matter?
nyp.33433112073014	But what would an examining doctor say?
nyp.33433112073014	But wheer didst find him?
nyp.33433112073014	But where wilt tha go and sit, while I talk to t’police?
nyp.33433112073014	But why does she knock?
nyp.33433112073014	But why trouble about that now?
nyp.33433112073014	But you ’re not in Parliament, I think? ” Graham said that quite seriously; but Town- shend would regard it as a joke.
nyp.33433112073014	But, I say, Miss Clemance, how did you know that I sent them to a lady? ” “ I ’ve seen about Miss Bolsover in the paper, ” answered Nelly.
nyp.33433112073014	But, fust, wot about that tenner? ” “ I told you, I have n’t got so much. ” “ You can borry, I daresay, mister. ” Graham shook his head.
nyp.33433112073014	By the way, is Monsieur Bonnemain any friend of yours?
nyp.33433112073014	By the way, who was the little person I met on the stairs?
nyp.33433112073014	By the way, you sent my telegram? ” “ Yes, ” said she; “ I sent it. ” “ That ’s all right.
nyp.33433112073014	CHAPTER I. — “ HAST THOU FOUND ME, 0 MINE ENEMY? ” II.—FOR HIS MOTHER ’S SAKE.
nyp.33433112073014	Call my friends, will you? ” he said to Joe.
nyp.33433112073014	Can I do any- thing for you, or is your business private with Mr. Hepplewhite? ” And again he considered closely both the man and the dog.
nyp.33433112073014	Can we get out before the house is blocked?
nyp.33433112073014	Can you not believe it would be a death- blow to learn that you were taken again and sent to fulfil your sen- tence?
nyp.33433112073014	Could he( Graham) ask Townshend to give the man money which would be repaid as speedily as possible?
nyp.33433112073014	Could it be that the fellow had so little feeling about'his escape from imminent death as his words would seem to signify?
nyp.33433112073014	Could it really be that he had escaped with such compara — tive ease?
nyp.33433112073014	Could the tramp, he asked himself, have contrived to enter the house, and fallen asleep, as it Were on guard?
nyp.33433112073014	Did not that seem the clear and plain explanation of several things that otherwise were inexplicable?
nyp.33433112073014	Did she dare?
nyp.33433112073014	Did you happen to hear any word drop from them, sir, about their destination?
nyp.33433112073014	Did you think I was? ” For answer he blushed furiously.
nyp.33433112073014	Do n’t you understand? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	Do you feel in a dying condition? ” he con — tinued.
nyp.33433112073014	Do you harm? ” she exclaimed.
nyp.33433112073014	Do you like this dinner? ” he asked suddenly.
nyp.33433112073014	Do you think he is dead?
nyp.33433112073014	Eh, Mr. Poynting? ” Mr. Poynting assented with a nod.
nyp.33433112073014	Engineering?—like our friend the tramp? ” “ That, of course, ” said Graham promptly.
nyp.33433112073014	Fell? ” she said.
nyp.33433112073014	First, what is the meaning of ‘ rob? ’ ” “ Where is the use, ” said Graham, “ of going into that?
nyp.33433112073014	First, what is the meaning of ‘ rob? ’ ” “ Where is the use, ” said Graham, “ of going into that?
nyp.33433112073014	Graham guessed what the question must be; who was the tall, oldish gentle- man who was talking so loudly as he went along?
nyp.33433112073014	Had he seen anybody in particular about?
nyp.33433112073014	Had n’t you better let me go on alone?
nyp.33433112073014	Had you better come? ” Spite of this warning he went after dark; but made for the little back lane.
nyp.33433112073014	Hap — pen thou ’s come into a fortune i ’ th'time?
nyp.33433112073014	Has n’t he suf — fered enough?
nyp.33433112073014	Have you any line of action to suggest? ” Graham shook his head.
nyp.33433112073014	Ha’e I not nursed tha on my knee and gi’en tha what thou cried for, James Graham? ” 22 PURSUED BY THE LAW.
nyp.33433112073014	He trotted an instant with his nose to the ground, and then, as if somehow reminded of an engagement he must keep, with a short yelp to him?
nyp.33433112073014	He ’s got plenty of tin, I dessay?
nyp.33433112073014	He ’s not gone yet, I suppose? ” 27o PURSUED BY THE LAW.
nyp.33433112073014	His death?
nyp.33433112073014	How can that be?
nyp.33433112073014	How can that woman go on with her usual life, and laugh and talk and sleep when she thinks Of what she has done?
nyp.33433112073014	How could he have been shot with this? ” The young and ambitious detective, Wormall, 46 THE NEEDLE- GUN.
nyp.33433112073014	How do you begin, Mr. Wormall? ” “ Well, Mr. Wilkins, ” said Wormall.
nyp.33433112073014	How long, do you think, can I stand that?
nyp.33433112073014	How much do you want? ” “ A tenner will do, guv’nor. ” “ Impossible, ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	How old do you think I am, now?
nyp.33433112073014	How was a shot fired?
nyp.33433112073014	How was it worked?
nyp.33433112073014	How would the law view it?
nyp.33433112073014	How ’s business? ” “ Only so- so, Mr. Townshend, ” said the in- spector, pursing his mouth and rubbing his cheek.
nyp.33433112073014	I am he who waited for your father yes- terday. ” “ Is n’t it an extraordinary letter? ” he asked, when she had finished the reading of it.
nyp.33433112073014	I ca n’t git not a bloomin ’ job; no nor a bloomin ’ bob give me! ” “ Do you want a job? ” asked Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	I daresay Mr. Hepplewhite has told you about it? ” “ Yea, ” droned Joe.
nyp.33433112073014	I do n’t blame you; what is the good of blaming any man?
nyp.33433112073014	I do n’t suppose you ’re Peter the Great redivivus, are you?
nyp.33433112073014	I have made haste, I can bet you, Miss Clemance. ” “ Well?
nyp.33433112073014	I hope you will excuse me. ” “ What is it you want, then? ” demanded the actress hastily, and with a cold and curious eye on the girl.
nyp.33433112073014	I mean what do you think of her looks? ” “ She is very good- looking.
nyp.33433112073014	I must tell you something, Nelly; did you notice that — that needle — gun, that horrid invention of mine, was left about?
nyp.33433112073014	I never heard such an accusation before-—don’t you know?
nyp.33433112073014	I only wonder why you have thought I would be of any use as one of your people. ” “ Really? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	I suppose Mr. Townshend told you?
nyp.33433112073014	I suppose you know what may have happened? ” “ I do!
nyp.33433112073014	I think she is the handsomest woman I ’ve ever seen. ” “ Well, that ’s her. ” “ Her?
nyp.33433112073014	I thought of the police, and was careful of them; but how could I think of your man with the burnt scar being about here?
nyp.33433112073014	I “ Well, what can he do? ” said Mr. Hepplewhite promptly.
nyp.33433112073014	If I write to him, will your friend carry the note?
nyp.33433112073014	If it is a fair question I would like to ask how you have so much influence? ” “ I may, perhaps, answer you to- night: we ’ll see.
nyp.33433112073014	Is aught amiss?
nyp.33433112073014	Is he — er — ac — cessible? ” “.I ca n’t say, Mr. Townshend, ” said the inspec- tor.
nyp.33433112073014	Is it still America? ” And he glanced pointedly at Nelly.
nyp.33433112073014	Is there any field of pasture in Wales that does not have its bull?
nyp.33433112073014	It was with a great reluctance that he returned to the railway; for who knew but searchers might already be speeding back to seek him?
nyp.33433112073014	It would be very much worse to be found out, than to go through with it openly. ” “ And you ai n’t a- going to put it away?
nyp.33433112073014	It ’s so like what we used to do on Sun- days. ” “ On Sundays? ” he queried.
nyp.33433112073014	Knocked down?
nyp.33433112073014	Leighton? ” repeated the actress.
nyp.33433112073014	Let me introduce you to my friend Mr. Leighton. ” “ How- de- do, Leighton? ” said the young man.
nyp.33433112073014	Lord-’a- mercy, wheer ’s tha beard?
nyp.33433112073014	Marquis?
nyp.33433112073014	More telegrams? ” Then explanations on either side became neces- sary.
nyp.33433112073014	Mr. Poynting?
nyp.33433112073014	My three — er — ‘ friends, ’ left to give an eye to him, understand their business. ” “ You mean they Will kill him?

nyp.33433112073014	Then you know Mr. Bernard Shaw? ” “ Shaw?
nyp.33433112073014	Then you know Mr. Bernard Shaw? ” “ Shaw?
nyp.33433112073014	There was a pause which the man seemed to fill with drinking, for he presently spoke thus: — “ I say, missus, do folk ever get drunk on this?
nyp.33433112073014	Tired of you?
nyp.33433112073014	Townshend had been an extra- ordinarily good friend to him, but after all, what did he know of him?
nyp.33433112073014	Townshend had( for some strange reason) shown himself singularly friendly; but after all what did he know of Town- shend?
nyp.33433112073014	Townshend? ” he murmured in amaze- ment.
nyp.33433112073014	Townshendwas alarmed: where was Joe and where was the dog?
nyp.33433112073014	WVhy did they now affect him with panic?
nyp.33433112073014	Was his note to have no rousing effect on the tramp?
nyp.33433112073014	Was the detective ’s who had fired the second shot?
nyp.33433112073014	Well, have you got any answer?
nyp.33433112073014	Were these really men, with heads to under- stand, and bowels to feel compassion, or were they devils let loose from hell to torture and destroy?
nyp.33433112073014	Were they drawing up already?
nyp.33433112073014	What bound him and them together?
nyp.33433112073014	What can I do to help yO ’?
nyp.33433112073014	What could he do?
nyp.33433112073014	What could he'do?
nyp.33433112073014	What did it mean?
nyp.33433112073014	What do you say? ” “ Oh, yes, ” answered Graham, his head in his hands.
nyp.33433112073014	What do you take me for?
nyp.33433112073014	What do you think?
nyp.33433112073014	What extraordinary faculty Of sug- gesting his power and influence was it that he pos- sessed?
nyp.33433112073014	What has he to say to the constable?
nyp.33433112073014	What if his death was, therefore, caused — silently but surely — with my own gun? ” These disturbing reflections made him sit up, wide- awake.
nyp.33433112073014	What if the man should set him — self to a systematic observation of all the iron works about Milchester?
nyp.33433112073014	What is he to do?
nyp.33433112073014	What is it? ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	What kind of warranty would he have that the man would not appear again, in a"month—-in a week —- and demand more?
nyp.33433112073014	What news?
nyp.33433112073014	What should she do?
nyp.33433112073014	What should she say?
nyp.33433112073014	What then?
nyp.33433112073014	What was now to be done?
nyp.33433112073014	What would it be called?
nyp.33433112073014	What ’s your trade, my pad- ding friend? ” “ Blacksmith — engineer, ” he answered sulkily.
nyp.33433112073014	When the warder arose, with severity in his eye and the letter in his hand, she said: “ May n’t he have it?
nyp.33433112073014	Where ’s the good?
nyp.33433112073014	Which situ- ation, think you, needs the greater courage, the finer nerve?
nyp.33433112073014	Who could he be?
nyp.33433112073014	Who was this strange man, who was apparently a clever man about town, who had known his father, and who yet consorted with learned college dons?
nyp.33433112073014	Who? ” “ The lady who wishes to know you.
nyp.33433112073014	Whose‘works? ” Graham hesitated.
nyp.33433112073014	Why had it come upon him?
nyp.33433112073014	Why must he run away again?
nyp.33433112073014	Why should I?
nyp.33433112073014	Why should letters be mentioned to him?
nyp.33433112073014	Why should not she be given up in his place?
nyp.33433112073014	Why should not she squer now?
nyp.33433112073014	Why should she escape and you suffer? ” “ Better if we both escape, ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	Why should you keep her from dying?
nyp.33433112073014	Why then should he grieve for him?
nyp.33433112073014	Why, James?
nyp.33433112073014	Why?
nyp.33433112073014	Why?
nyp.33433112073014	Will that suit you? ” “ Suit me very well, sir, ” answered Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	Will you kindly leave us to ourselves? ” she said, turning to her landlady, who was linger- ing in engrossed attention.
nyp.33433112073014	Would you like to see the London detective, and tell him? ” “ Well, no, ” said Townshend, with an easy show of unconcern.
nyp.33433112073014	W’hat ’s gotten tha?
nyp.33433112073014	Yet how could he ask Townshend to do that?
nyp.33433112073014	You beast?
nyp.33433112073014	You do as you promised, and let me go back. ” “ What did I promise to do? ” asked Graham grimly.
nyp.33433112073014	You do n’t refuse_ to do that, I suppose? ” For answer Graham held his hand out.
nyp.33433112073014	You have read the latest facts of the case, of course? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433112073014	You mean you do n’t know? ” “ Know?
nyp.33433112073014	You mean you do n’t know? ” “ Know?
nyp.33433112073014	You really ca n’t afford to do that! ” “ And how am I to live?

nyp.33433112073014	“ And leaving him there? ” “ I left him there; yes. ” “ And what do you mean to do with him? ” “ Do with him? ” said Townshend.

nyp.33433112073014	“ But, ” said Graham, “ I must be making my arrangements for going to America. ” “ What? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Ca n’t I see him? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Ca n’t yer see? ” said the man.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Did you ever hear anything like it?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Did you notice what sort of man he was? ” put in Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Did you think he had been drinking? ” asked the coroner.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Didn ’ he have his dinner? ” “ He ’s going to have another, ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Do you know anything about this death, miss? ” asked the other in plain clizthes.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Do you mean this? ” asked Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Do you mind my having this window open? ” asked the prisoner.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Do you mind telling me what sort of house this is? ” asked Graham, truly curious.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Do you mind waiting here till the end of the performance?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Do you really forgive me? ” “ Forgive you, sweetheart? ” said he.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Does everybody say so? ” he asked bitterly.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Dost feel bad? ” “ No, ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Eh? ” said Mr. Hepplewhite.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Have n’t we tried to do that, and failed, my dear Miss Clemance? ” said Townshend.

nyp.33433112073014	“ How are we going to get him away like that?
nyp.33433112073014	“ How dare you speak to me like that?
nyp.33433112073014	“ How did I know that?
nyp.33433112073014	“ How long has she been like this? ” asked the doctor.
nyp.33433112073014	“ How ’s Nelly? ” he asked of old Liz, who opened the door for him.
nyp.33433112073014	“ How? ” I48 PURSUED BY THE LAW.
nyp.33433112073014	“ However did it happen?
nyp.33433112073014	“ I have a head- ache. ” “ Would you rather walk a little way or take the train at once?
nyp.33433112073014	“ I have held, ” said Graham, “ a similar position for three years in an engine works on Thames- side. ” “ Oh?
nyp.33433112073014	“ I mean — how are you getting on in this place? ” Graham stared; it was rude, but he could not help it.
nyp.33433112073014	“ I presume you are the son that my friend, your father, tried to get an interview with this afternoon at the Fotheringay Works?
nyp.33433112073014	“ I shot into a ploughed field as if it were a pit of sawdust; it was a bouncing bang — nothing more. ” “ And you have got the darbies Off?
nyp.33433112073014	“ I suppose it is from that gentle- man you told me about, with the eye- glass and the fur coat? ” “ I suppose so, ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ I think, ” said he, “ I must go home to my mother, Mr. Townshend. ” “ What? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ I ’m a work- ing man on the pad for a job. ” “ What is your trade? ” demanded Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ I ’ve lost a half- crown down your grating; can I get it back? ” She considered him a moment, and evidently did not dislike his look.
nyp.33433112073014	“ In the dumps?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is he dead?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is it far to the place where this man Corbet lodges? ” asked Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is it indeed, now? ” said the inspector, deeply interested.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is it you, indeed, James? ” she murmured, clinging to him, and trembling and gazing on him, her eyesight blurred with tears.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is she good friends with Corbet?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is that you?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Is there no way of getting rid of that fellow?

nyp.33433112073014	“ It is in my bag, ” said Townshend; “ it is a well- made false one. ” “ And your head of hair?

nyp.33433112073014	“ Let me ask how you mean to dispose of him?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Let the lady pass, will yer?
nyp.33433112073014	“ May I come in? ” said Townshend, and forth- with entered.
nyp.33433112073014	“ May I give you a cup of tea, Mr. Leighton? ” said Miss Bolsover.
nyp.33433112073014	“ May I speak a word? ” said she.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Mortimer, ” said he, “ have you ever known any man defy me and not suffer?

nyp.33433112073014	“ Not put it away?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Now, what do yo ’ think of it, Mr. Town — shend?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Of course, ” continued Townshend, “ you can send somebody to show me where this Corbet lodges? ” “ Joe can go, th ’ coachman, tha knows.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Oh, ” persisted Townshend, “ you are bent upon going, then?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Oh, ” said Graham, “ if it ’s a gentleman he need n't. ” “ Need n’t what, sir? ” “ Go to the devil.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Oh, ” said John satirically, “ yo’re sure yo ’ would n’t like it ’ ot?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Oh, ” said Townshend, “ that ’s the dog, is it?

nyp.33433112073014	“ Only I ’ve seen some one who knows me — the tramp I ’ve told you about! ” “ Where? ” cried Hepplewhite, turning boldly round.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Or had we better wait a while? ” “ Nubbot th ’ pigs stirrin ’, ” said Joe.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Take a message from me to Mr. Hep- plewhite — will you?
nyp.33433112073014	“ That was just at the beginning of this trouble. ” “ Then, ” said Miss Bolsover, “ you took it to Mr. Townshend?
nyp.33433112073014	“ The man has had his life bust up; he has just escaped from prison and penal servitude; and his first thought is ‘ work to do! ’ What work?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Then, ” said he to the man, “ you did not see that the brute you went to set free is watching the front of the house?
nyp.33433112073014	“ There ’s a chap follerin ’ dost see? ” he said to Townshend, in his deep, even tone of unconcern.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Thou go? ” cried Mr. Hepplewhite.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Thou never let him? ” said Mr. Hepplewhite.

nyp.33433112073014	“ Was there anything about him?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Wass you going to catch the train, sir?
nyp.33433112073014	“ We may set out for Liverpool, and not go there, may we not?
nyp.33433112073014	“ We might see. ” “ Do you know him well? ” asked Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, do n’t you see, granted the situation in which he puts himself, he must have fired that shot?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, have you settled the course of your earthly pilgrimage? ” he asked and smiled.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, he ’s more lucky than the man that was with us, Mr. T0wnshend. ” “ What has happened to him? ” asked Town- shend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, now, what ’s the matter, lads? ” asked Mr. Hepplewhite brusquely, while Mr. Poynting sat CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, what do you think of her? ” asked Townshend, when the act was ended.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, ” said Graham, when the man stood be — fore him, “ what do you want this time?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Well, ” said Mr. Hepplewhite to the deputa- tion, “ what dost want us to do?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What can you do? ” “ Anything, ” he answered.
nyp.33433112073014	“ What did my telegram give you to understand? ” “ Your telegram! ” exclaimed Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ What did’st say? ” “ Nowt. ” “ What did’st do, then? ” “ Ah put out ma foot. ” “ Oh!

nyp.33433112073014	“ What have I done, ” he asked, “ that every- body now looks at me so queerly?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What is the meaning of this? ” Miss Bolsover demanded of her landlady.
nyp.33433112073014	“ What kind of a man is he?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What name? ” demanded the keeper of the door.
nyp.33433112073014	“ What will you do? ” he felt impelled to ask.
nyp.33433112073014	“ What would be the good of that?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What, by the way, did you say was the proper charge for driving me to Bala?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What, ” he asked himself, “ what if my father tried to trifle with him?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What?
nyp.33433112073014	“ What?

nyp.33433112073014	“ Where are we going? ” asked Graham, at length.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Where are we going? ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Where did you think it was? ” “ Ho!
nyp.33433112073014	“ Who was she?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Who ’s going to break th ’ peace?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Who, my dear?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Who? ” said Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Why then has he not come forward to offer his evidence? ” asked Nelly.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Why, how did you know that? ” she de- manded.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Why?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Why? ” exclaimed Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Wo n’t you put off that damp cloak?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Work? ” said Townshend in amazement.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Would any young man send love messages like yours to a brother, or a father?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Would you mind turning in somewhere at Once, Mr. Hepplewhite? ” asked Graham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ Yes, marquis, ” said the man; “ and what jew- ellery?
nyp.33433112073014	“ Yes, ” said the man, stroking his cheek, “ it is queer — ain’t it?
nyp.33433112073014	“ You are Mr. Townshend?
nyp.33433112073014	“ You are a kind of Tubal- Cain, Mr. Leighton, are you not? ” she said at length.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You are sure, mother, ” said he, when he re- turned, “ that you did not push him or anything?
nyp.33433112073014	“ You go in for respectability? ” said Town- shend.

nyp.33433112073014	“ You have something on your mind? ” said the clergyman, when the woman had withdrawn.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You mean that God pulled the trigger and fired the gun? ” “ And what for not? ” demanded Liz indig- nantly.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You mean that God pulled the trigger and fired the gun? ” “ And what for not? ” demanded Liz indig- nantly.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You really think so? ” “ I am sure of it, ” said he.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You think I might try the old game on again?
nyp.33433112073014	“ You think so? ” Then, saying: “ If he comes again let me know, ” he was going out into the darkness.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You think you know me? ” said James Gra — ham.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You want to see Mr. Hepplewhite, do you? ” And he considered Graham with searching scrutiny up and down.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You wanted to see me? ” said the actress in a clear voice, somewhat loud and angry.
nyp.33433112073014	“ You ’re going to have lunch, are n’t you?
nyp.33433112073014	“ You ’ve found me again, have you?
nyp.33433112073014	“ what about the letter?
nyp.33433112073014	” Nelly, almost in tears, but resolute, pushed through the gaping, staring crowd, who demanded, as she passed, “ Who ’s she?
nyp.33433112073014	” and his “ Art tha, Ben?
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Ah, James, ” said she, “ Nelly tells me you are not going to live with us here?
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Ah, who? ” said he, regarding her.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ And thou’rt a- going to take it on thysen?

nyp.33433112073014	” “ But what, has gone wrong? ” asked Nelly.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ But why?
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Can I see this trouble put upon my mother, woman? ” he broke out.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Did I hear our bell ring, Mortimer? ” said Townshend.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Gone? ” he cried, struck motionless on the door — step.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ HAST THOU FOUND ME, 0 MINE ENEMY?"
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Is n’t it, mother? ” said he lightly.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ It is under this wig. ” “ And your teeth? ” “ They are in my bag, too.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Leighton? ” gasped Nelly, feeling herself turn pale and then red to the ears, while her emotion almost sank her to the ground.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ No. ” “ You ai n’t going to do aught with it? ” 20 PURSUED BY THE LAW.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Oh, where? ” said she.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ Surely I did n’t say anything to upset her, did 1, James? ” said Mrs. Graham, looking very much hurt.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ TO- night?
nyp.33433112073014	” “ The change is sufficient then? ” said Town- shend, with something of a senile mumble, for he had scarcely a tooth in his head.
nyp.33433112073014	” “ What do you mean, Jim? ” Nelly asked, in fear.

uiug.30112049745414	And yet?
uiug.30112049745414	But I do n’t believe she kept her letters — why should she?
uiug.30112049745414	For what he knew she valued far more than life itself — her honour?
uiug.30112049745414	Had he ever written imprudent letters to Peggy?
uiug.30112049745414	He asked himself why he had not fol- lowed his first impulse, why he had not allowed himself to die, with Peggy in his arms?
uiug.30112049745414	How could he bear to leave her there — alone?
uiug.30112049745414	Jeanne was buried in her wedding dress; and the flowers — you recall the wonderful flowers?
uiug.30112049745414	Nay, was it in her power to lie,—or rather to tell the half- truth which was all that he had asked her to tell?
uiug.30112049745414	She had never known — how could she have known? — what his acquiescence had cost him.
uiug.30112049745414	Still, in this case was he not fighting for Margaret Pargeter?
uiug.30112049745414	Suddenly the chauffeur turned to Van- derlyn, and spoke for the first time: “ Would you like to slow down a bit, sir?

uiug.30112049745414	Vanderlyn hesitated; for a moment his tired brain refused to act — when was he supposed to have heard of Peggy ’s disappear- ance?
uiug.30112049745414	What did his presence here this morning, his strange unreal words, signify?
uiug.30112049745414	What has made you give way — now?
uiug.30112049745414	What was the inward meaning of this sinister comedy?
uiug.30112049745414	What- ever made them think of suggesting such a thing?

uiug.30112049745414	Why had he not thought of driving her out to one of the smaller stations on the line whence they could have started, if not unseen, then unobserved?

uiug.30112049745414	what? ” Side by side they began walking down the long reception- room.
uiug.30112049745414	“ Never arrived? ” he echoed.
uiug.30112049745414	“ Well P ” he said, “ what ’s happened to Peggy?

uiug.30112042052545	But why had they gone without a hint or word of farewell?
uiug.30112042052545	Can it be possible, Captain Ducie, that you are the fortunate possessor of such a treasure?
uiug.30112042052545	Can you come up with her? ” “ Master, I will try.
uiug.30112042052545	Can you remember Mr. Stonor from the country?

uiug.30112042052545	Edmund Fairfax, to be precise? ” The sick man coughed uneasily, raised him- self on one elbow, and stared fixedly at his visitor.
uiug.30112042052545	Had she a father alive?
uiug.30112042052545	Had she merely been playing with him all along in order that she might jilt him at last?
uiug.30112042052545	How shall I ever be able to repay him, and you, and dear Father Spiridion, the thousand kindnesses I have received at your hands?
uiug.30112042052545	I hope, sir, that you follow me thus far? ” “ Oh, I follow you easily enough, never fear! ” replied the irascible old soldier.
uiug.30112042052545	If it is smitten, shall it cry out?

uiug.30112042052545	Sweet Mrs. Fairfax 1 and dead, you say?
uiug.30112042052545	Then why should I study his interests so particularly?
uiug.30112042052545	Was he really quite alone?
uiug.30112042052545	Was it possible that the powerful odour was affecting him as it had affected his victim?
uiug.30112042052545	Was it — was it possible that by some devil's trick the Diamond had been conjured from him?
uiug.30112042052545	What business was he, I wonder?
uiug.30112042052545	What if she were learning to regard him with some small portion of the same feeling that he had for her?
uiug.30112042052545	What if this incipient sadness were merely a symptom of dawning love?
uiug.30112042052545	What of the woman whom it was his intention to have proposed to that very day?
uiug.30112042052545	What, then, was the meaning of it all?
uiug.30112042052545	When was the terrible persecution to end?
uiug.30112042052545	Why pain a tender heart by such details?
uiug.30112042052545	Why, then, should I not marry Miss Van Loal?
uiug.30112042052545	Would the errand on which George Strickland was gone bring her happiness or misery?
uiug.30112042052545	Would the lapidary ’s shop be open at that early hour?

nyp.33433112004837	And a hammer was used, was n’t it, to spike that dead man to the wall?
nyp.33433112004837	And for whom?
nyp.33433112004837	And having come into possession of them, why had he suddenly become anxious to get rid of them?
nyp.33433112004837	And if not for a criminal purpose, why did he come to this place at all? ” “ Heavens above, man, do n’t ask me! ” returned Narkom irritably.
nyp.33433112004837	And if she did, would she be likely to have brought it up from Sufl'olk at this time of the year?
nyp.33433112004837	And is that why you did not come over to see me before? ” “ Do n’t be silly, Kathie.
nyp.33433112004837	And it is this Count de Louvisan, you tell me, that has been murdered?
nyp.33433112004837	And now this Lord St. Ulmer was burning labels that once had been the property of that man, was he?
nyp.33433112004837	And possessing two evening suits, which had that interesting young gentleman worn yesterday?
nyp.33433112004837	And she must have had something to do with this night ’s business, gov ’ ner, or why should she be wan- dering about this place at such a time?
nyp.33433112004837	And she was n’t there? ” “ No, she was n’t.
nyp.33433112004837	And she’sgot a little place of her own, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	And the A- string?
nyp.33433112004837	And the Imperial Blues?
nyp.33433112004837	And the other; who ’s he? ” “ Why, my dad.
nyp.33433112004837	And the pamphlet?
nyp.33433112004837	And this little maggot of a Harry Raynor is the latest dupe, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	And what is the meaning of this astonishing business, if you please? ” “ Good heavens above, how do you expect I am going to know?
nyp.33433112004837	And what is the meaning of this astonishing business, if you please? ” “ Good heavens above, how do you expect I am going to know?
nyp.33433112004837	And what of Lady Clavering?
nyp.33433112004837	And what was the explanation of the scrap of pink gauze that was hid- den with the other things in the filled tobacco jar?
nyp.33433112004837	And what, of all things, about Lady Katharine Fordham?
nyp.33433112004837	And whom did she come to see?
nyp.33433112004837	And why in the world should he choose this particular day to do it?
nyp.33433112004837	And why not?
nyp.33433112004837	And why not?
nyp.33433112004837	And why on earth has n’t one of you answered my ring? ” he blurted out, addressing the nearer of the two foot- men.
nyp.33433112004837	And you do remember the lady that wore it? ”.
nyp.33433112004837	And you say that she accused him of the murder?
nyp.33433112004837	And you tell me that in those old days you practised a trick such as this fellow did to- night?
nyp.33433112004837	And, by the way, how did you get that bit of pink gauze, old chap?
nyp.33433112004837	And, having dug, why try to disguise the fact?
nyp.33433112004837	Any clue to the party who assaulted him? ” “ None.
nyp.33433112004837	Any drop into the waste bas- ket by chance?
nyp.33433112004837	Any idea from where? ” BLIND GROPING 97 “ Not the slightest.
nyp.33433112004837	Any particular significance attached to it? ” “ Lord, no!
nyp.33433112004837	Are you mad, or are you something worse, to come here and make this abominable lying charge against me — against me?
nyp.33433112004837	Are you sure?
nyp.33433112004837	Are you sure? ”._ “ Rath- er!
nyp.33433112004837	Are you taking leave of your senses, Raynor?
nyp.33433112004837	Bad as that, was he? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112004837	Besides, why should he take orders from me, anyway? ” “ My dear Mr. Bare ” “ Catch the point?
nyp.33433112004837	Besides, why should he take orders from me, anyway? ” “ My dear Mr. Bare ” “ Catch the point?
nyp.33433112004837	Big green smudge on your cuff, as if you ’d been up against a mossy wall?
nyp.33433112004837	But I remember: you know the lady, of course. ” Know her?
nyp.33433112004837	But I say, General, you ought to be more careful, you know, especially with sneak thieves about. ” “ As how, Mr. Barch?
nyp.33433112004837	But Would you like a pleasant surprise?
nyp.33433112004837	But after that? ” “ After that?
nyp.33433112004837	But after that? ” “ After that?
nyp.33433112004837	But he has been over here, this morning, has he not? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433112004837	But it does n’t matter which, does it, so long as you learned the trick, and are able to put up a stiff fight and floor a burglar still?
nyp.33433112004837	But stepmothers?
nyp.33433112004837	But why an Apache crime?
nyp.33433112004837	But will you walk with me as far as the angle of the wall on the other side of the shrubbery, Miss Lorne?
nyp.33433112004837	But, oh, my God, Kathie, why did n’t you let me kill him? ” “ Kill him, Geoff?
nyp.33433112004837	But, oh, my God, Kathie, why did n’t you let me kill him? ” “ Kill him, Geoff?
nyp.33433112004837	CLEEK ’S knuckles had no more than touched 171/ a THE RIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,/ “ Who are you?
nyp.33433112004837	Ca n’t you get word to my pater somehow?
nyp.33433112004837	Can you remember any lady to- night that did? ” “ Yes, ” said Narkom promptly.
nyp.33433112004837	Carry me where?
nyp.33433112004837	Certainly it would be to meet a man; but what man?
nyp.33433112004837	Claimed to have received it this afternoon, did n’t he?
nyp.33433112004837	Cleek, how do you know that? ” cried Mr. Narkom, his voice hoarse and shaken.
nyp.33433112004837	Come on, will you?
nyp.33433112004837	Come quick, will yer?
nyp.33433112004837	Could you be positive then that what you smelt was not on his hair or moustache?
nyp.33433112004837	De Louvi- san?
nyp.33433112004837	Dear old chap, is n’t there something better and nobler than human justice, something higher than the laws of man?
nyp.33433112004837	Did it? ” “ I do n’t know, I ’m sure, ” replied Miss Lorne.
nyp.33433112004837	Did n’t get into a scrap with Sir Philip after I left you, did you, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	Did you ever know the time when I would n’t do all that I could to help the best friend I ever had — yourself?
nyp.33433112004837	Did you get any- thing out of this poor fellow?
nyp.33433112004837	Did you? ” “ I certainly did not.
nyp.33433112004837	Do n’t want two sick men on one floor, do you, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	Do they have to match the dress that ’s worn with them or not? ” “ Certainly they do n’t, ” said Ailsa, looking round at him in surprise.
nyp.33433112004837	Do you accuse me of lying? ” “ There must be some horrible mistake.
nyp.33433112004837	Do you happen to know if the late Count de Louvisan was ever in Argentina, Bliss Lorne? ” “ No, I do not.
nyp.33433112004837	Do you happen to know what that something was? ” “ N 0.
nyp.33433112004837	Do you think I would?
nyp.33433112004837	Do you think it discreet? ” said Mrs. Raynor rather anxiously.
nyp.33433112004837	Do you want me to tell you the truth?
nyp.33433112004837	Do you want to see him? ” “ Yes, Monsieur Narkom, I want to see him very, very much indeed — if you can find him!
nyp.33433112004837	Do you?
nyp.33433112004837	Does he? ” “ I could n’t say, sir; never set eyes on him since he arrived.
nyp.33433112004837	Dollops, take yourself off — hot shot! ” “ Me, sir?
nyp.33433112004837	Down that path, is it?
nyp.33433112004837	Ever give you what our Yankee cousins call the touch?
nyp.33433112004837	Ever try to get anything out of you? ” “ Not a blessed rap.
nyp.33433112004837	For one thing, what would be the sense of smearing them on the dead man ’s shirt bosom if they merely stood for that?
nyp.33433112004837	Forgotten all about the bracelet, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	Geoff — you — think — I — killed — killed — him? ” Geoff groaned and buried his face in his hands.
nyp.33433112004837	Geoffrey? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112004837	Good heavens, what are you talking about?
nyp.33433112004837	Had she not done so already?
nyp.33433112004837	Harry Raynor or Lord St. Ulmer?
nyp.33433112004837	Have I?
nyp.33433112004837	He had one, that he knew; but was it in the kit bag?
nyp.33433112004837	Hiding?
nyp.33433112004837	Hinted pretty strongly at something else, however; but, of course, I was n’t taking any on that score! ” “ Were n’t you?
nyp.33433112004837	His father did type that forged letter and for the purpose he declared. ” “ To get him out of the neighbourhood for the night? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112004837	How and where?
nyp.33433112004837	How are you, Clav- ering?
nyp.33433112004837	How came she to be writing letters to him, sending her photograph to him?
nyp.33433112004837	How could she love a father whom she had not seen since she was a baby — whom she did not even know when he came back to claim her?
nyp.33433112004837	How could she? ” “ She was there — at Gleer Cottage — last night.
nyp.33433112004837	How did Lord St. Ulmer come into possession of those labels?
nyp.33433112004837	How did he elude the chasing keeper and the waiting constable?
nyp.33433112004837	How did you come to take that? ”- “ The A- string, Mr. Cleek?
nyp.33433112004837	How did you come to take that? ”- “ The A- string, Mr. Cleek?
nyp.33433112004837	How did you work it, then?
nyp.33433112004837	How get him to as- sist in that thing, if he did assist?
nyp.33433112004837	How lead him up to this abominable act regarding his own father?
nyp.33433112004837	How should I?
nyp.33433112004837	How?
nyp.33433112004837	I had already made up my mind after THE COUNTRY LIFE PRESS GARDEN CITY, N. Y. H 1:? “
nyp.33433112004837	I had my suspicions — yes, rather — so I came back to prove them true. ” “ And did you? ” “ Ah, did n’t I?
nyp.33433112004837	I had my suspicions — yes, rather — so I came back to prove them true. ” “ And did you? ” “ Ah, did n’t I?
nyp.33433112004837	I only wonder at one thing: What makes Sir Philip Claver- ing use black cosmetic?
nyp.33433112004837	I say, Barch — chin ’-chin ’, old chap! — I say, you want to know what sent me back so unexpectedly, do you, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	I say, how did you come to be there, Raynor?
nyp.33433112004837	I say, how the dickens did you ever come across this French lot?
nyp.33433112004837	I say, who the devil are you? ” snarled that startled and amazed young man.
nyp.33433112004837	I see, I see! ”'“ Do you?
nyp.33433112004837	I think you are aware of the fact that I use black cosmetic on my moustache, Mr. Cleek?
nyp.33433112004837	I will answer the call directly. ” “ My dear, do you think that wise?
nyp.33433112004837	I wondered. ” BLIND GROPING 95 “ Explains it?
nyp.33433112004837	I ’m frightened half to death! ” “ Are you? ” His footsteps clicked sharply as he moved rapidly across the floor toward her.
nyp.33433112004837	I ’m going to give you a shock that will set you thinking. ” “ Are you? ” said Cleek with the utmost serenity.
nyp.33433112004837	If I believed, should I come here and openly tell you of these things?
nyp.33433112004837	If it were worth his while — to save his own skin, to divert suspicion from himself Well, was it not worth his while now?
nyp.33433112004837	If, by any chance, it really had been Sir Philip Clavering, how came these clothes buried in the grounds of Wuthering Grange?
nyp.33433112004837	In Paris? ” “ No fear!
nyp.33433112004837	In the circumstances, why should she have done so?
nyp.33433112004837	In the meantime, will you, as silently and as expeditiously as you can, steal back through the grounds and show Dollops the way to the ruin?
nyp.33433112004837	In the name of reason, where did you get that impression of the man?
nyp.33433112004837	In this neighbourhood? ” “ Lord, no!
nyp.33433112004837	Indeed?
nyp.33433112004837	Is he aboutH- my lads? ”'“ No, sir.
nyp.33433112004837	Is he in?
nyp.33433112004837	Is it you at last? ” he moved fleetly to the window, twitched aside the curtains, and let the guarded light streak outward into the night.
nyp.33433112004837	Is the solution anywhere in sight? ” “ I think so, ” he answered.
nyp.33433112004837	Is there? ” “ N 0, there is not, ” said Ailsa, falling unconsciously into the trap.
nyp.33433112004837	It is an old, old game of yours, that, is n’t it, Mar- got?
nyp.33433112004837	Kill whom? ” “ De Louvisan! ” “ De Louvisan?
nyp.33433112004837	Kill whom? ” “ De Louvisan! ” “ De Louvisan?
nyp.33433112004837	Know anybody who has? ” “ Yes, I have.
nyp.33433112004837	Last night, after she left me, I heard her playing in her room. ” “ For long? ” “ No.
nyp.33433112004837	Last night?
nyp.33433112004837	Lay you a tanner I can tell you why, old chap. ” “ Can you?
nyp.33433112004837	Let you kill De Louvisan — I?
nyp.33433112004837	Little bit of all right, that — — eh, what? ” “ Looked like it, at all events, ” said Cleek, select- ing a cigar and lighting up.
nyp.33433112004837	Man or woman? ” “ I dunno, sir — I did n’t see.
nyp.33433112004837	May I ask what it is? ” “ Yes, certainly.
nyp.33433112004837	Mere solicitude for the welfare of a beloved stepson, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	More than that, what was the connection between young Raynor and Margot?
nyp.33433112004837	Nobody in it, and nobody been here either, sir, not a soul since you left. ” “ You are quite sure, monsieur? ” This from Cleek.
nyp.33433112004837	Now tell me something, Mr. Narkom: How came you to be in the neighbourhood of Mul- berry Lane at all to- night?
nyp.33433112004837	Now will you tell me, luiss Lorne, how long it is since Lady Kath- arine lost that little golden capsule from her bracelet?
nyp.33433112004837	Now, asked Cleek of himself, what the dickens should any one wish to dig in this place for?
nyp.33433112004837	Now, the letter my father handed me this afternoon was supposed to come from that girl. ” “ And did n’t? ” “ No, it did n’t.
nyp.33433112004837	Now, then, upon What pretext?
nyp.33433112004837	Of course that was all non- sense about her being anxious over Geoff; but, still — — why?
nyp.33433112004837	Oh, Mr. Cleek, a — a woman? ” “ Yes — perhaps two women! ” “ Women and — and a deed of violence, a deed of horror, like that?
nyp.33433112004837	Oh, Mr. Cleek, a — a woman? ” “ Yes — perhaps two women! ” “ Women and — and a deed of violence, a deed of horror, like that?
nyp.33433112004837	Open?
nyp.33433112004837	Or could n’t you see? ” “ Oh, yes, I could see — she came near me — she spoke in passing.
nyp.33433112004837	Or did his lordship recover on the way home, and find it unnecessary to call him in at all?
nyp.33433112004837	Or is it on this floor that Lord St. Ulmer ’s room is situated? ” “ Yes, that one over there — second door from the wing staircase.
nyp.33433112004837	Or per- haps you do n’t know? ” “ As it happens, I do, ” said Narkom, “ for I hap- pened to be at Clavering Close when it took place.
nyp.33433112004837	Pardon?
nyp.33433112004837	Recently? ” “ No; quite two months ago.
nyp.33433112004837	Recollect, do n’t you, that when you came to meet me at the ruin, I told you I ’d suddenly been called away?
nyp.33433112004837	Remember, do n’t you, that I said I was going to give you a shock? ” “ Oh, ah!
nyp.33433112004837	Rum what fancies women of that sort have, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	Shall I get out the eve- nin ’ clothes, and put the bag back under the hedge, or will you take it with you? ” ‘ “ I ’ll take it.
nyp.33433112004837	Shall I prove it to you?
nyp.33433112004837	She did come out on the Common to- night, and What ’s that?
nyp.33433112004837	She is fond of him, then?
nyp.33433112004837	Sheer vanity, I suppose. ” “ Does he? ” cried Ailsa, in surprise.
nyp.33433112004837	Should I not carry proofs there if I believed that they were proofs?
nyp.33433112004837	Shove that siphon over this way, will you, dear boy?
nyp.33433112004837	So her name ’s Mignon de Varville, is it?
nyp.33433112004837	So that was how the cat jumped, was it?
nyp.33433112004837	So there was a second woman who prowled about Wuthering Grange and endeavoured to see somebody in secret, was there?
nyp.33433112004837	So, then, he had been a fool for his pains, had he — a fool taken in and gulled by appearances, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	Something that decides? ” “ Yes, ” the detective made answer.
nyp.33433112004837	Speak up, do, and tell me what you make of it? ” “ Make of it, Mr. Narkom?
nyp.33433112004837	Speak up, do, and tell me what you make of it? ” “ Make of it, Mr. Narkom?
nyp.33433112004837	Springing at me like a wild animal, he cried out: ‘ Spying, were you?
nyp.33433112004837	Still, why should I not ask?
nyp.33433112004837	Sure that the name was Barch? ” “ Yessir, quite.
nyp.33433112004837	THING BEFORE?
nyp.33433112004837	Tell me — now —— before anybody comes: Who did it?
nyp.33433112004837	That is the great French scientist, is it not?
nyp.33433112004837	That was Margot ’s little game, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	That was it, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	That was settled beyond all question last night. ” “ And Geoffrey Clavering knew it then? ” “ And Geoffrey Clavering knew it then — yes!
nyp.33433112004837	That you had no other purpose in coming whatsoever? ” “ Yes, decidedly I will swear it.
nyp.33433112004837	That ’s the gentleman who is ill, is n’t it? ” “ Yes, sir.
nyp.33433112004837	That ’s the man, is n’t it? ” “ Yes, that ’s the man.
nyp.33433112004837	The Apaches or this foolish, hot- headed boy lover? ” Narkom wisely refrained from comment.
nyp.33433112004837	The forged letter, eh?
nyp.33433112004837	The hostess? ”_ “ Yes.
nyp.33433112004837	The lady of the tobacco jar? ” “ The very identical.
nyp.33433112004837	The man? ” repeated Ailsa in utter bewilderment.
nyp.33433112004837	The queen of the Apaches? ” “ Yes. ” “ You are sure of that? ” “ I ought to be.
nyp.33433112004837	The queen of the Apaches? ” “ Yes. ” “ You are sure of that? ” “ I ought to be.
nyp.33433112004837	The question was, did Lady Katharine Fordham possess an ermine cloak?
nyp.33433112004837	Then there was another point: What had called Harry Raynor away so unexpectedly, and what had so unexpectedly called him back?
nyp.33433112004837	Then what did? ” “ Same thing that called me away in the first place — a blessed swindle! ” “ The dickens you say?
nyp.33433112004837	Then what did? ” “ Same thing that called me away in the first place — a blessed swindle! ” “ The dickens you say?
nyp.33433112004837	Then what other man?

nyp.33433112004837	There could be no shadow of a reason for the police coming here, becauseb — Eh?

nyp.33433112004837	Was his being there merely a commonplace thing, or was there something between them?
nyp.33433112004837	Was in there when that sneak thief ap- peared. ” “ In there?
nyp.33433112004837	Was it a pink dress?
nyp.33433112004837	Was it but a cloak to hide her designs?
nyp.33433112004837	Was it to secure that very string?
nyp.33433112004837	Was it, as I am hoping, on the day when you visited Gleer Cottage in company with her, or since? ” “ What a strange question.
nyp.33433112004837	Was that Margot ’s little game?
nyp.33433112004837	Was that the way the idiot had been tricked into becoming an accomplice?
nyp.33433112004837	Was there, then, a possibility that Geoff Clavering was speaking the truth, and that it was Lady Katharine herself who was lying?
nyp.33433112004837	We shall know the truth of that when we get to the scene of this mysterious vanishment, my friend. ” “ Yes, but how was it done, Cleek?
nyp.33433112004837	Well, then, what about that garden door being the answer?

nyp.33433112004837	What other reason could I have? ” An expression of intense relief drove that other and darker look from the General ’s face and eyes.
nyp.33433112004837	What sort of a swindle, old chap, eh? ” “ A forged letter.
nyp.33433112004837	What sort of papers had he that it was necessary for him—~a sup- posed invalid — to get out of bed and destroy?

nyp.33433112004837	You did n’t let him get past you, did you? ” “ No fear! ” snapped out the constable indignantly.
nyp.33433112004837	You did, did you not? ” “ Yes, although I was not aware of it until I ar- rived at the place. ” “ Hum- m- m!

nyp.33433112004837	“ And who was to tell you that the guest would not drink at all? ” Then he turned on his heel suddenly and left the room.
nyp.33433112004837	“ And you are that man — Philip Barch, Ailsa Lorne ’s friend?
nyp.33433112004837	“ And you will swear by it that you came only to meet your son?

nyp.33433112004837	“ Cleek! ” rapped out Narkom in an excited but guarded tone, as he noted this, “ Cleek, you have found something?

nyp.33433112004837	“ Harry, darling, how can you? ” she said reproach- fully, as young Clavering coloured and the two girls looked distressed and indignant.

nyp.33433112004837	“ How should I know? ” she gave back, in some- thing akin to panic.
nyp.33433112004837	“ I do n’t know, ” he said, fetching a deep sigh; “ but I am glad to have your word for it, glad to say that?
nyp.33433112004837	“ I have come to the end of the riddle. ” “ The end? ” gasped Mr. Narkom.
nyp.33433112004837	“ I say, Barch, hold on a moment, will you? ” he sang out.
nyp.33433112004837	“ I say, send him away, wo n’t you?
nyp.33433112004837	“ I thought you said just now that you were satisfied regarding that?

nyp.33433112004837	“ Look here, young man; what ’s the meaning of this?
nyp.33433112004837	“ Murder is it, Keeper? ” exclaimed the superin- tendent, remembering all at once what Lennard had said about hearing the cry and the shot.
nyp.33433112004837	“ My dear chap, have you forgotten that it was in Argen- tina Lord St. Ulmer spent those many years of his self- imposed exile?
nyp.33433112004837	“ No offence, eh?

nyp.33433112004837	“ Shall we go to meet Geoff? ” he asked; and again scarcely waiting for her to reply, led the way in si- lence.
nyp.33433112004837	“ Shall we meet Lady Katha- rine ’s father as well? ” “ Oh, dear, no!
nyp.33433112004837	“ So it has come to this at last, has it, De Morcerf?

nyp.33433112004837	“ What is the meaning of this outrage, and who is this young person? ” he demanded with heat.
nyp.33433112004837	“ What is the meaning of this outrage?
nyp.33433112004837	“ What kind of a game is this? ” demanded Nar- 8 THE RIDDLE OF THE NIGHT kom, as with his allies he crowded forward.
nyp.33433112004837	“ What made you think not, Ailsa? ” “ Well, for one thing, I thought I heard your door open and shut in the night.
nyp.33433112004837	“ What will we be importing from the continent next, Hammond?
nyp.33433112004837	“ What ’s he doing here?
nyp.33433112004837	“ What ’s in the wind, Mr. Narkom?
nyp.33433112004837	“ What ’s that?
nyp.33433112004837	“ What ’s your game?

nyp.33433112004837	“ Which of this interesting pair is doing the lying?
nyp.33433112004837	“ Who knows better than I how false appearances may be? ” he said.
nyp.33433112004837	“ Why did you do that? ” she questioned feebly, and was not satisfied even when he explained his motive.
nyp.33433112004837	“ Why, what the dickens — I say, where are you? ” “ In London, at the Savoy Hotel, speaking from one of the booths.
nyp.33433112004837	“ Will it matter who watches? ” he said, with just a suspicion of vanity over the achievement.
nyp.33433112004837	“ You are sure it is for me, Hamer?
nyp.33433112004837	“ You did not sleep well, darling, did you? ” “ Yes, but I did — that ’s just the strange thing, ” said Lady Katharine quickly.
nyp.33433112004837	“ You found it out at the garden door, then?
nyp.33433112004837	“ You know her — you actually know her? ” “ Yes, rather!
nyp.33433112004837	“ You know that, too?
nyp.33433112004837	“ You mean to say that Lady Clavering was out there on the Common, away from her guests?
nyp.33433112004837	“ You see who it is, do n’t you, sir?
nyp.33433112004837	“ Your master sent you up about my dinner? ” the voice trumpeted out in a sort of panic.
nyp.33433112004837	” “ Good heavens, how do you know these things?
nyp.33433112004837	” “ How? ”--<.-.._-_-_.__-_o.a...
nyp.33433112004837	” “ I do n’t know what you are driving at, I am sure. ” “ Do n’t you?
nyp.33433112004837	” “ Loisette?
nyp.33433112004837	” “ The ‘ dye stick ’? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433112004837	” “ What ’s that?
uc1.aa0016202962	- “ You do not believe in the curse? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	3O The Threshing- Floor “ Yes, Miss Brigit. ” “ Did you know of it? ” Hannah shook her head slowly.
uc1.aa0016202962	A nice lot, were n't they? ” “ It's a weird story, certainly, ” said Marriot, without directly replying to Brigit's question.
uc1.aa0016202962	A tall man, bearded, with scars on his face? ” “ Oh, that? ” answered David.
uc1.aa0016202962	A tall man, bearded, with scars on his face? ” “ Oh, that? ” answered David.
uc1.aa0016202962	And look at Denys| What is he but a mass of utter cor- ruption?
uc1.aa0016202962	And under the Eagle's Crag who should I meet but Marriot?
uc1.aa0016202962	And what shall I look like with a couple of black eyes?
uc1.aa0016202962	And why did men go free while women were condemned for life for one single folly?
uc1.aa0016202962	And why was the window open?
uc1.aa0016202962	Are you not under it?
uc1.aa0016202962	Are you riding my way? ” The lad shook his head and smiled.
uc1.aa0016202962	At this time P When the end was near?
uc1.aa0016202962	Be brave — he is dead. ” “ Dead? ” “ Yes.
uc1.aa0016202962	But I'll watch you — do you hear?
uc1.aa0016202962	But at last Marriot spoke — “ What are you going to say to me, Brigit?
uc1.aa0016202962	But if I went with you to London, aunt, what should I do? ” Mrs. Errington stared.
uc1.aa0016202962	But of late, has n't it seemed as if there was a curse — has n't it? ” 194 The Threshing- Floor Jacob sighed and shook his head.
uc1.aa0016202962	But who taught the lad to drink?
uc1.aa0016202962	But why?
uc1.aa0016202962	Challenger returns? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	Challenger's word law in these parts? ” “ It is at Abbotsholme, at any rate, ” replied Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	Challenger? ” Marriot nodded — these questions seemed superfluous.
uc1.aa0016202962	Could n't I ride after your father?
uc1.aa0016202962	Day! ” he exclaimed, “ what does this mean?
uc1.aa0016202962	Do n't you remember, that first morning you came to the house, that I said we did n't fear anything or care for anything, that we were a bad lot?
uc1.aa0016202962	Do n't you think that that shows how I love you? ” Marriot drew her to him and kissed her tenderly.
uc1.aa0016202962	Do you hear it?—do you?
uc1.aa0016202962	Do you know much more of that sort of thing, Miss Challenger? ” “ Oh, I know lots of old weird tales, and ballads, and country stories.
uc1.aa0016202962	Do you think I mind a little discomfort so long as I can be at hand to help you? ” Brigit was touched.
uc1.aa0016202962	Do you want to hear it? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	Does angels bandage little boys as breaks their legs and little gels as cuts theirsens?
uc1.aa0016202962	Does angels sit up all ni'wi'poorly folk P Does angels go round all day — and all ni'—a- doin'good?
uc1.aa0016202962	Have n't you? ” Marriot shook his head in a way which sug- gested that he was rather puzzled by the question.
uc1.aa0016202962	He"— “ What was he like — how was he dressed then? ” interrupted Brigit eagerly.
uc1.aa0016202962	How now, Brigit? ” “ Mr.
uc1.aa0016202962	How should he?
uc1.aa0016202962	I am just setting off home again. ” “ Driving? ” “ No, walking. ” “ All that way?—six miles l ’ he exclaimed.
uc1.aa0016202962	I understand that a man named Looney lodges with you? ” “ Yes, miss, and has done this three years and more.
uc1.aa0016202962	I wish I could say something that would — I ’m sure you'll understand?
uc1.aa0016202962	I wish — I wish I had n't seen him like that l ” “ What happened? ” asked Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	I — I was five years younger than Gabriel — Katherine was between us. ” “ Is my Aunt Katherine alive? ” asked Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	I ’m as good as you are any day — and a deal better, for that matter. ” “ So you wo n’t hold your tongue? ” asked Brigit, very quietly.
uc1.aa0016202962	If any of us marry, what is there to expect?
uc1.aa0016202962	If he was caught in the snow above, how would he find his way over such rough country?
uc1.aa0016202962	Is n't it awful? ” “ Tell me about last night, ” said Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	Is n't it evident in father's case?
uc1.aa0016202962	Is n't it still more evident in the case of Denys P Hopeless? ” “ But there is — yourself, ” he said in a low voice.
uc1.aa0016202962	Is n't it — isn't it?
uc1.aa0016202962	Is — is something wrong? ” The man looked at her still more closely.
uc1.aa0016202962	It is weird. ” “ Can you sing it? ” asked Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	It is — what is going to be done with me?
uc1.aa0016202962	It was me that he loved — me, do you understand?
uc1.aa0016202962	It's a pretty story, is n't it? ” “ But you like to tell it, ” said Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	Jacob, could n't you go round all the buildings?
uc1.aa0016202962	Lassie, is yon fine young man from Normancaster wanting to marry thee? ” Brigit flushed happily.
uc1.aa0016202962	Look how strong I am How many men are there who are stronger? ” Hannah looked at Brigit admiringly.
uc1.aa0016202962	Marriot? ” “ I am, ” answered Marriot, wondering at the question.
uc1.aa0016202962	Myself — am I not to lose the last stick, the last penny — am I not under it?
uc1.aa0016202962	Oh — ohl Ca n't you see, wo n't you see, that I'd give all the world to be — your wife?
uc1.aa0016202962	See, let us sit down on this rock — you must let me speak. ” The Threshing- Floor Io?
uc1.aa0016202962	Shall I read it to you here or at the station?
uc1.aa0016202962	Shall I tell you what that means?
uc1.aa0016202962	Such, he said to himself, are living paradoxes — who but the All- Understanding should understand them?
uc1.aa0016202962	Supposing he should be there?
uc1.aa0016202962	That long strand of fair hair which I saw in Rachel Dene's lap — was that her daughter's? ” “ It would be, ” said Mrs. Marshall.
uc1.aa0016202962	Then I married Mr. Errington, a London merchant. ” “ Have you any children, aunt? ” inquired Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	There's — there's nothing I can do for you? ”- She laughed — hard laughter that made Marriot feel uncomfortable.
uc1.aa0016202962	What are they?
uc1.aa0016202962	What difference could it make to me?—what do I care about the past?
uc1.aa0016202962	What do you know about me?
uc1.aa0016202962	What do you say? ” “ Thank you — thank you indeed l ’ cried Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	Where does the girl come from?
uc1.aa0016202962	Who can tell? ” Marriot nodded his head.
uc1.aa0016202962	Why not earlier, when he was younger, when there was yet time to repent, to atone?
uc1.aa0016202962	Why should thee be anxious? ” “ I do n't know, ” replied Hannah, sitting down and helping herself to a glass of ale.
uc1.aa0016202962	Why, look at recent events, recent results| Your brother — was not he under the curse?
uc1.aa0016202962	Why, why do you say you will never marry me?
uc1.aa0016202962	Why, you stupid fool, do you think I'm not?
uc1.aa0016202962	Will it have any effect on it — will it, will it? ” “ Of course not, ” said Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	Would Brigit come?
uc1.aa0016202962	You remember what he was like the first time you came to the house? ” “ Yes, ” said Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	You will? ” He felt her face, her lips, her hands suddenly turn cold as the stone on which they sat.
uc1.aa0016202962	Yourself — have you not followed the tradition of all our women — has not one man just killed another because of you?
uc1.aa0016202962	‘ You ’re a brick — but, he says, and I saw his face fall, ‘ must we go to- night? ” he says.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Abbotsholme? ” he repeated.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And does he love thee, child, like that? ” inquired Jacob.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And he'd fine clothes, had n't he? ” said Mrs. Haines.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And p'raps I know a good deal more than some folk think I know. ” “ Oh, indeed, and what might that be? ” asked Hannah, with some acerbity.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And suppose — suppose I would n't stop? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And what are you looking at me in that way for with your eyes half shut? ” “ I was thinking, ” said Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And who may you be, young lady? ” he inquired, not unkindly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And you will marry me, Brigit? ” he whispered at last.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ And — and if you did n't carry out the order? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are you also a teetotaller, my friend? ” The man's eyes fastened themselves on the foaming jug and glistened greedily.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are you coming to talk to me, Jacob? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are you going there?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are you ill? ” “ Not ill, miss, nor yet poorly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are you sure you're her niece? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are you? ” “ I ’ve a warrant for that too, Mrs. Errington, ” he replied.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Are — are you ill, mistress? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Brigit, ” he said, “ tell me — have you ever cared for- loved — anyone — any man — before me? ” She looked at him, half startled.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Brigit, ” he said, “ you hear what these good folk, our old servants, wish?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Brigit, ” said Marriot, taking her hand as the darkness fell again, “ can you be a very brave girl?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ But what about me?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Can you make your way home? ” asked Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Can you tell me if there is no other way from this point to Abbotsholme yonder than by going round by that bridge which I see in the distance?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Could n't you search the wood at the back of the house? ” he suggested.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ David, ” she said suddenly, “ who is that man sitting in the corner inside there?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Did n't he use to smoke cigars? ” Marriot's face brightened and he chuckled softly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Did you? ” Dimsdale laughed evilly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Dimsdale, speak| Where's he hurt you?—where is it?—what's he done?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do n’t you know — Brigit? ” he repeated.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you hear me? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you hear, girl? ” “ Never you mind, Hannah Coulson, ” said Lizzie, shaking herself free, “ and keep your hands to yourself.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you know what sort of a girl I was P Would you care to take me into your house with that knowledge? ” Mrs. Errington patted her niece's hand.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you mean that? ” she asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you really believe in curses, Mr. Chal- lenger? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you really mean that? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you see that cross? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Do you think he may have gone there? ” she asked, in an awestruck whisper.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Does n't he- doesn't he care for you? ” he said involuntarily.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Father, ” she said, “ you will come to Hannah's to- night, wo n't you?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Finished? ” he said easily.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ He came across it himself this morning. ” “ Here?"
uc1.aa0016202962	“ How should you?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ I know ” — “ On my own —?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ I suppose one never realises it at first, Do you know that you have changed me The Threshing- Floor 131 in almost everything?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ I – well? ”- “ You ’ll have to come with us, ” said the man.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ I ’m not without powerful friends, Mr. Winter — in pretty high places, too, as you know, eh?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ If you do n't drink, perhaps you smoke, Mr. Marriot? ” he said inquiringly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ If you marry 132 The Threshing- Floor into a family, you in some sort join yourself to it, do n't you?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Is it true — are you really my father's sister?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Is that so very wonderful, Miss Challenger? ” “ It is to me, ” answered Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ It ’s some papers to sign. ” “ Will you take a seat? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ It's made you sleep better since you began trying this, Jacob, has n't it? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Jacob, do n't you think the end's coming? ” she asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Jacob, do you believe in that curse they talk about?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Look, Dimmy, ” she said, “ there's a house- martin's nest on the beam there — do you see it? ” Dimsdale looked up, and saw nothing.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Marry you? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Miss Brigit, ” she said after a time, “ what about Mr. Marriot? ” Brigit blushed and the tears came into her eyes.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Miss Challenger, I presume? ” Brigit nodded, still examining him closely.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Miss Marriot? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Must, eh? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ No, miss, but"- “ You suspected it? ” “ Yes, miss, this long time.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Not believe in a curse which has made itself felt over and over and over again during the last three hundred and fifty years?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Oh, is that it's name? ” said Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Serve you right for hold- ing your nose so high in the air. ” “ Did you send this? ” repeated Marriot.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Shall I get it for you, Miss Brigit? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ She drank ale for breakfast. ” “ I? ” said Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ She'll talk. ” “ Will she? ” said Brigit.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ So that's touched your high- and- mightiness up a bit, has it? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ That you do n't care about — the past? ” Marriot snapped his fingers.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Then why wo n't you say yes to me at once? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ There! — is n't that a ripper?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Wanting to grease in again, are you? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Well? ” said Dimsdale.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What about your brother? ” he asked abruptly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What are you talking about? ” she said fiercely.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What can you expect? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What do you laugh like that for? ” the lad said, half- angrily, half- suspiciously.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What do you look for or see? ” The woman's hand dropped away from his knee like a dead thing — heavily.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What end, my lass? ” Hannah looked round at the shadows of the great kitchen.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What for — what P What did she mean when she said, ‘ I ’ll kill her ’?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is it, Brigit? ” he said anxiously, as she came up to him.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is it? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is it? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is it? ” he said hoarsely.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is that, Mr. Day? ” Mr. Day made no immediate answer.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is the matter? ” Brigit was out of breath.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is this? ” he inquired.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What is this? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What will you drink? ” she asked in a casual, off- hand fashion which showed him that the question was one which was constantly on her lips.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ What — what — what is it that you mean?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Where have you been, I say? ” Lizzie nodded her head two or three times.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Where is that? ” The lad lifted his hunting- crop and pointed to the little town lying on the hillside at the head of the valley.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Where? ” 4 The Threshing- Floor 25 “ There — don't you see?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Where? ” 4 The Threshing- Floor 25 “ There — don't you see?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Which way did you say that confounded girl had gone? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Who sent that? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Who told you of it? ” she asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Why are you so glum and stand- offish?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Why do n't you speak to me? ” he said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Why not? ” he asked, in answer to Brigit's expostulations.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Why, Brigit dear, what's come over you?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Why, I love her Do you think that I love her any the less because of this?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Why?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ You are Brigit? ” she exclaimed.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ You are not going to sit there all night? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ You do n't drink anything? ” “ None of those things, at any rate, ” he replied, still smiling.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ You do n't think that a twelve miles walk means much to me? ” she asked.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ You wish to see me? ” she said.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ You ’ve been coming to this place for nearly two months — don't you see it?
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Young person — female — Dead Man's Copse — last Thursday evening? ” he said wonderingly.
uc1.aa0016202962	“ Your father's sister?

osu.32435076161983	“ Where was the doorway?
osu.32435076161983	“ Which one first, chief? ” “ Take one by chance, ” said Shirley, “ and I will guess its number.
osu.32435076161983	“ Which trunk is it on?
osu.32435076161983	“ Who is Jack? ”- “ You see — I am learning already.
osu.32435076161983	“ Who is that come on? ” asked the clerk of the bell- boy.
osu.32435076161983	“ Who's that Jane? ” she demanded, her voice shaking with jealousy.
osu.32435076161983	“ Why do you suppose these men are all criminals?
osu.32435076161983	“ Why — why — I’m glad to see you, Mr. Shirley — Who sent you? ” he began.
osu.32435076161983	“ Why, have you made a mistake? ” “ I hope not.
osu.32435076161983	“ Would you pardon me if I ran?
osu.32435076161983	“ You did n't tell me about Grimsby? ” per- sisted Warren, turning to Helene, with an ad- miring scrutiny of the girl's charms.
osu.32435076161983	“ You know how to leave, according to my plan?
osu.32435076161983	“ You might as well smoke now — as later! ” CONCLUSION 3 II “ Is not that sufficient to interest you?
osu.32435076161983	“ You poor boob, ” was the cheerful greet- ing as it swung wide, “ What brings you out here?
osu.32435076161983	“ You will honor us by taking a drink, Miss Pinkie? ” was the criminologist's courteous OVerture.
osu.32435076161983	“ You woke me up. ” “ Say, lady, can I speak to Mr. Montague Shirley? ” began the man, gingerly.
osu.32435018403576	** But What Of it? ” “ Look at that responder! ” cried the opera- tor.

osu.32435018403576	- “ Suppose Ganley himself is able to read the Morse???
osu.32435018403576	- “ What is it? ” she asked, as she stepped into the cabin, her eyes wide with wonder.
osu.32435018403576	- “ You are against Ganley? ” she questioned.
osu.32435018403576	128 REVERSE OF THE SHIELD “ You mean that you might be able to warn them? ” she asked at last.
osu.32435018403576	144 THE BULL- BAITERS “ Well? ” the titanlike visitor draped in black once more demanded.
osu.32435018403576	158 THE RECOVERED GROUND “ Are you the master of this ship? ” he de- manded.
osu.32435018403576	16 THE CITY OF PERIL “ How could I? ” he succeeded in stammering out.
osu.32435018403576	168 THE PYRRHIC VICTOR “ Then it is true? ” A note of involuntary bitterness rang through McKinnon's sharp query.
osu.32435018403576	232 THE LISTENING ALLY “ What is it? ” asked the operator, nettled by the intent look on her listening face.
osu.32435018403576	286 THE TRUMP CARD “ In quarantine? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do they say why? ” “ The comandante has ordered us to be held here.
osu.32435018403576	286 THE TRUMP CARD “ In quarantine? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do they say why? ” “ The comandante has ordered us to be held here.
osu.32435018403576	296 THE DEAD- LINE “ Is there anything you feel you ought to take along with you? ” “ Nothing, ” she whispered.
osu.32435018403576	64 THE WEB OF INTRIGUE “ Then why could n’t you accidentally miss a message?
osu.32435018403576	?"
osu.32435018403576	All this was done. ” “ But how do you know this? ” “ Let ’s say that I stumbled upon it in my work as a wireless operator.
osu.32435018403576	And I keep their vaudeville going for'em. ” “ But has n’t this particular calling its par- ticular dangers? ” McKinnon casually inquired.
osu.32435018403576	And why? ” “ The responder! ” gasped McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	But now 57 58 THE WEB OF INTRIGUE we ’ve got him good, and got him where we want him. ” “ Then what ’s he doing on a steamer like this?
osu.32435018403576	Ca n’t you understand?
osu.32435018403576	Can you get Chilean battle- ship two days off Puerto Locombia or British ship out of Kingston?
osu.32435018403576	Could n’t he see he was going to be cor- nered? ” The disposition of the operator was not alto- gether an inflammable one.
osu.32435018403576	D'you want to make a good round sum, helping me out of a hole? ” The Laminian ’s operator looked closely at the man who had invaded his cabin.
osu.32435018403576	Has he done anything? ” “ Oh, cut it out!—cut it out!
osu.32435018403576	He will hold this over you and force you to act for him. ” “ But why should I stand for coercion like that? ” asked the undisturbed McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	How about our captain, for instance? ” McKin- non asked.
osu.32435018403576	I can get in through one of those doors. ” “ Through one of those doors? ” echoed the man before her.
osu.32435018403576	I hate dirty work like this! ”- “ Then why're you doin'it? ” The other man did not answer, and the ques- tion was repeated.
osu.32435018403576	I know her, and she and her whole gang ca n’t hoodwink me! ” “ Well? ” said McKinnon a little impatiently.
osu.32435018403576	I ’ll be holding the men off until we ’re clear. ” “ ‘ Clear Of What? ” “ Clear of that shed — and of the wharf.
osu.32435018403576	I ’ve got my plan for that. ” “ What plan? ” Ganley laughed his short and mirthless laugh.
osu.32435018403576	If Duran and his army are shut up in Guariqui, it ’s because they ’re there without ammunition! ” “ You know that? ” she cried.
osu.32435018403576	Is n’t that right? ” The operator nodded.
osu.32435018403576	Is that plain enough for you? ” He put the revolver back in his pocket and waited.
osu.32435018403576	It ’s a part I would have borne myself, a thousand times over, if I ’d only been able. ” “ The price for what victory? ” she demanded.
osu.32435018403576	It ’s warfare — and I ’ve got to be true to my people before everything else. ” “ But who are your people? ” she persisted.
osu.32435018403576	Quick! ” “ Tie what? ” she called in his ear.
osu.32435018403576	She only knew that McKinnon had THE LAST HOPE 337 “ Our chance for what? ” she asked, as she worked.
osu.32435018403576	So why not explain the whole situa- tion by saying that both of us chance to be act- ing for the same cause?
osu.32435018403576	THE CALL FOR HELP 267 “ What is it? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	THE LAST STAND 343 “ Why? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	THE PYRREIIC VICTOR 175 “ Why have you treated me like this? ” she asked him, almost without emotion.
osu.32435018403576	THE WEB OF INTRIGUE 63 “ Well, what ’s your job worth? ” was the old- er man ’s undisturbed query.
osu.32435018403576	That is why I was there when the news of this revolution first reached me. ” “ And Ganley knows this? ” McKinnon de- manded.
osu.32435018403576	That seems square enough, does n’t it? ” “ Oh, it ’s square enough.
osu.32435018403576	Then I went to New Orleans, to my old home. ” “ But why? ” he asked, as he noticed her hesitation.
osu.32435018403576	Then came a minute or two of silence, and then the call again, followed by the repeated message: PT- BA: Are you asleep?
osu.32435018403576	Then he looked up and repeated the word “ Itzula? ” Before McKinnon could realise it he was on his feet.
osu.32435018403576	They are deceiving you — they mean to make use of you. ”* “ But how? ” The woman remained silent.
osu.32435018403576	They were lying there steaming and baking and fretting for the very one word I sent on to them. ” “ Then they ’ll come? ” “ Come!
osu.32435018403576	They ’ve been standing there covered with a tarpaulin. ” “ Is any one there? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	This work is going to be done quick and done quiet. ” “ But how about leaks? ” “ There ’s not going to be any leaks.
osu.32435018403576	We ’ll be able to send out our message! ” “ Is this true? ” she asked, her wide and shadowy eyes searching his face.
osu.32435018403576	We ’re a government of our own, and we can go back and patch up outside quarrels when we see fit. ” “ But what will you do with the Laminian?
osu.32435018403576	We ’ve worked too hard on this thing not to see it put through to a finish. ” “ And? ” asked McKinnon, waiting.
osu.32435018403576	What can he do? ” “ He can do anything!
osu.32435018403576	What have you promised?
osu.32435018403576	What of THE WEB OF INTRIGUE 65 that?
osu.32435018403576	What was the money paid over to you for? ” “ To hold back certain messages. ” “ Yes, to hold back messages.
osu.32435018403576	Where could we find safety? ” she demanded, as her hopeless and unhappy eyes swept the inhospitable country that confronted them.
osu.32435018403576	Why are you Here???
osu.32435018403576	Why are you Here???
osu.32435018403576	Why are you Here???
osu.32435018403576	Why does Princeton get no anSWer?
osu.32435018403576	Why should I make threats?
osu.32435018403576	You do n’t believe what I have told you? ” she cried in her hurrying, low- toned whisper.
osu.32435018403576	You must sleep if you can. ” “ And you? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	You ’re not doing anything against the penal code. ” “ Why did n’t you go to the captain about this? ” complained the operator.
osu.32435018403576	it? ” “ And could n’t you do that if I made it worth while for you? ” quietly inquired the stranger.
osu.32435018403576	it? ” “ And could n’t you do that if I made it worth while for you? ” quietly inquired the stranger.
osu.32435018403576	what ’re we squabbling about, any- way? ” he cried.
osu.32435018403576	you know all this already, do n’t you? ” “ Not all of it, ” replied McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	| “ Why could n’t I go to the captain? ” she pleaded.
osu.32435018403576	‘ ‘ Work? ” She echoed.
osu.32435018403576	“ A contract? ” said McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ A slip of paper. ” “ Where is it? ” “ I have it, ” was all the girl answered.
osu.32435018403576	“ Am I so terrible? ” she asked, with her hand still on his arm.
osu.32435018403576	“ And I ’m busy sending. ” “ You mean you ’re actually talking to New York now? ” amiably persisted the other.
osu.32435018403576	“ And before to- morrow night they will be anchored at Puerto Locombia. ” “ Before to- morrow night? ” she repeated, with sinking heart.
osu.32435018403576	“ And he's killed our wireless? ” “ Look at it, ” answered McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ And is that all on your side? ” he asked, with a sudden movement of disgust.
osu.32435018403576	“ And is that all? ” asked Ganley, with his careless sneer.
osu.32435018403576	“ And it ai n’t right! ” “ Right?
osu.32435018403576	“ And supposing I ca n’t kill this message? ” he ventured.
osu.32435018403576	“ And that was not an agreement with this man? ” she derisively asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ And this is why you are so against him? ” She had to school herself into self- control be- fore she could go on.
osu.32435018403576	“ And why? ” Ganley laughed a little.
osu.32435018403576	“ And you ai n’t goin’ to get ’ em? ” “ I ’ve lost them, ” was the repeated and al- most hopeless answer.
osu.32435018403576	“ And you have promised to act with this man? ” she little more than whispered.
osu.32435018403576	“ And you never married a mangy, half- caste diamond- wearing Santo Domingan named De Perralta? ” demanded the man on the berth edge.
osu.32435018403576	“ And you two are working together? ” she murmured.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you afraid? ” he asked, not compre- hending the source of her distrust.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you alone? ” he asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you comin ’ out o ’ there? ” demanded that apoplectic- faced officer, in a roar of inebriate and affronted authority.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you hurt? ” he gasped.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you in communication with anything? ” she asked, with an anxious glance at his ap- paratus.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you keeping an ear open for everything in there? ” he demanded, with a scowl of dis- approval at the man beside the steamer- chair.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you sure? ” she whispered, out of the silence that followed.
osu.32435018403576	“ Are you with us? ” he demanded, preg- nantly, as the preoccupied operator again caught up the phone- set.
osu.32435018403576	“ Back Where? ” “ To my ship, ” he faltered.
osu.32435018403576	“ Busy? ” he next demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ But are n’t there chances of still getting in communication? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ But ca n’t you tell me what it's worth for you to co- operate with us in this? ” he blandly insisted.
osu.32435018403576	“ But can you not get somebody? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ But how am I in his power? ” McKinnon asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ But how?
osu.32435018403576	“ But if the Princeton ’s men are not here by night? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ But the Princeton? ” gasped the woman.
osu.32435018403576	“ But what have I got to do with all this? ” McKinnon at last demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ But what ’s he to you, anyway? ” She looked from one to the other of the two men before her.
osu.32435018403576	“ But what ’s the good of fool by- play like this? ” protested the other, still wondering where his chance was to come in.
osu.32435018403576	“ But what ’s the use o ’ falling between two stools?
osu.32435018403576	“ But where could we go?
osu.32435018403576	“ But who are you? ” he suddenly demanded, noting her quick glance down at her little jew- elled watch.
osu.32435018403576	“ But why should you fight my battles for me? ” he asked, wincing a little before her open and courageous gaze.
osu.32435018403576	“ But why such concessions?
osu.32435018403576	“ But you saw that yellow- skinned man who was helped aboard?
osu.32435018403576	“ But you will see that it ’s sent? ” she asked as she rose to her feet.
osu.32435018403576	“ Ca n’t there be two sides to gun- run- ning? ” “ The law side and the outlaw side, I sup- pose, ” suggested McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Ca n’t you see that it ’s too late?
osu.32435018403576	“ Can you remember if there is a telegraph- line between Puerto Locombia and that capi- tal? ” he asked, after a moment of deep thought.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could I look over that message? ” reiterated Ganley, with no trace of excitement in his voice.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could I look over that message? ” repeated Ganley, as quietly as before.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could I speak to you? ” she asked, a little disturbed at the other ’s continued silence.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could Puerto Locombia get anything out- side of a passing ship?
osu.32435018403576	“ Could n’t you leave that with me? ” asked the operator.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could we talk here — us two, man to man? ” he finally asked, with a look at the door.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could you run a motor, a track- motor like this? ” he asked, with a side- jerk of his head toward the pier.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could you take a message for me, if you ’re in touch with anything? ” asked Ganley from the doorway.
osu.32435018403576	“ Could you take those messages of mine now? ” asked the man in the raincoat.
osu.32435018403576	“ Dead? ” cried the woman, in white- lipped alarm.
osu.32435018403576	“ Distances at this time o ’ night? ” “ You heard what I said, did n’t you? ” cried the defiant McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Distances at this time o ’ night? ” “ You heard what I said, did n’t you? ” cried the defiant McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Do n’t answer? ” demanded the captain.
osu.32435018403576	“ Do n’t you think we ’d better kill that mes- sage? ” Ganley suggested with a pregnant movement of his right hand.
osu.32435018403576	“ Do you mean the Laminian?
osu.32435018403576	“ Does it look like home? ” he asked the girl at his side, a little absently, a little bitterly.
osu.32435018403576	“ Does what mean? ” he parried, disturbed by the hostility of her gaze.
osu.32435018403576	“ Get back! ” “ Why're yuh fightin ’ with a he- rhinoceros like him? ” persisted the other.
osu.32435018403576	“ Have you nothing to say, nothing to explain? ” McKinnon did not answer for a moment or two.
osu.32435018403576	“ He is not dead. ” “ He is not dead? ” echoed McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ He was compelled to go there to look after my father ’s nitrate claims. ” “ Your father, then, was an American? ” in- terrupted McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ How are you acting with him? ” Her alarm did not seem to disconcert him.
osu.32435018403576	“ How could I help you out of a hole? ” he curtly demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ How dare you say a thing like that? ” McKinnon crossed the room until he stood al- most at her side.
osu.32435018403576	“ How do you mean worth while? ” 62 THE WEB OF INTRIGUE “ Why, I ’ll pay you for your trouble.
osu.32435018403576	“ How get her? ” “ Get her in irons, where she belongs. ” •# stole nothing, ” interrupted the white- faced girl.
osu.32435018403576	“ How long will you be in communication with them? ” he went on after a second or two of thought.
osu.32435018403576	“ How save my scalp? ” demanded Ganley, with a detaining hand on the other ’s fore- arm.
osu.32435018403576	“ How'd you get aboard this tub, anyway? ” the stranger suddenly asked, with a sympathetic wag of the head.
osu.32435018403576	“ I must warn you — but not here. ” “ Of what? ” asked Lingg.
osu.32435018403576	“ I said this was Secret Service, did n't I? ” grunted the other.
osu.32435018403576	“ I saw you giving a message to the captain, did n't I? ” And again the bellows- like lungs ex- pelled their languid cloud.
osu.32435018403576	“ I settle for it with you, do n't I? ” asked the stranger, drawing out a roll of bills.
osu.32435018403576	“ I ’ve got to go to the engine- room first, ” he explained, “ to see about my power. ” “ What must I do? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ I ’ve got two of them! ” ‘ ‘ TWO Of them? ” “ Yes; they ’re both talking at once.
osu.32435018403576	“ In what way? ” asked McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Is it hopeless? ” she asked at last, without turning her face to him.
osu.32435018403576	“ Is this paper so important?
osu.32435018403576	“ Is this true? ” he demanded of the woman before him.
osu.32435018403576	“ It is not true. ” “ Have you a husband? ” “ No, ” she still answered in her low voice.
osu.32435018403576	“ It sounds like an army commission. ” “ Where d'you want it changed? ” Duffy de- manded as he fell to pacing the cabin.
osu.32435018403576	“ Madre de Dios/ Do you know who that man is? ” “ He ’s an agent named Duffy, ” explained Mc- Kinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Me? ” said McKinnon, turning slowly about.
osu.32435018403576	“ Mean it ’s your first run? ” inquired the huge and genial spirit of the doorway.
osu.32435018403576	“ Must I pay now? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Must I tell you? ” still parried the perplexed WOIman.
osu.32435018403576	“ Of me? ” “ Of you!
osu.32435018403576	“ Of what? ” he repeated, noticing that the cab moved forward the moment the door had Slammed shut.
osu.32435018403576	“ Or have you been too taken up with your own fightin ’? ” “ I ’ve picked up nothing, ” was McKinnon ’s 3InSWer.
osu.32435018403576	“ Shall I take you to your cabin? ” he ven- tured.
osu.32435018403576	“ Shall I tell him? ” he asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Show a flag! ” “ How? ” she asked, not understanding.
osu.32435018403576	“ So I can count on you in this? ” he asked in his quiet and reassuring guttural.
osu.32435018403576	“ That man was Ganley? ” foolishly repeated the operator.
osu.32435018403576	“ That puts us even, does n’t it? ” Duffy said, backing away a little.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then are you ready? ” “ Quite ready, ” was her answer.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then in what way could we still help Guariqui- in time? ” was her forlorn and help- less query.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then what is it?
osu.32435018403576	“ Then what is it? ” he asked, oppressed by some new- born isolation of spirit that barred and walled him away from her.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then what more must I do, to help? ” she asked, very quietly.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then what yuh after? ” persisted his gloomy interlocutor.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then why have n’t you been sayin ’ so? ” “ I ca n’t say so, openly!
osu.32435018403576	“ Then why t'ell did n’t you put me wise?
osu.32435018403576	“ Then you would have to warn me. ” “ But how? ” Again she stood gazing at him with medita- tive eyes.
osu.32435018403576	“ Then you ’re not sending yet? ” he amiably persisted, with his shoulder against the door- post.
osu.32435018403576	“ There is no station at Puerto Locombia. ” “ No station? ” cried McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ This is puzzling you — that a woman can face such things as this? ” she demanded, with what Was only a moment ’s hurried and unhappy* ile.
osu.32435018403576	“ This woman is my wife! ” “ Your what? ” cried the captain.
osu.32435018403576	“ Threats?
osu.32435018403576	“ We ’ve got to, eh? ” He laughed a little as he said “ Good- night. ” “ Good- night, ” answered the operator.
osu.32435018403576	“ Well? ” he said at last.
osu.32435018403576	“ Well? ” she whispered at last, struggling to keep some tremour of dread from her voice.
osu.32435018403576	“ Well? ” the stolid and guarded figure de- THE BULL- BAITERS 147 manded; and that was his only comment.
osu.32435018403576	“ Well? ” was all Ganley ventured.
osu.32435018403576	“ What am I after? ” echoed the other, having no answer ready.
osu.32435018403576	“ What can we do? ” she asked, almost in a whisper.
osu.32435018403576	“ What d'yuh want with all that? ” demanded the engineer, with a contemptuous pipe- wave that embraced the entire island of Manhattan.
osu.32435018403576	“ What does this mean? ” she demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ What has happened? ” persisted the star- tled operator.
osu.32435018403576	“ What is it? ” asked McKinnon, noticing her wide and terrified eyes.
osu.32435018403576	“ What is it? ” asked the other, confronting him.
osu.32435018403576	“ What is it? ” the operator asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ What is it? ” “ That man! ” the woman exclaimed.
osu.32435018403576	“ What must I explain? ” she finally asked, still studying his face.
osu.32435018403576	“ What name would he be travelling under? ” McKinnon looked up to ask.
osu.32435018403576	“ What shall I do? ” whispered the woman.
osu.32435018403576	“ What was the paper you signed?
osu.32435018403576	“ What were you? ” she was asking him, her note of frustration seeming to merge into one of distrust.
osu.32435018403576	“ What would you do?
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’re you gettin ’? ” Captain Yandel de- manded of the man chapleted with the shining band of steel ending in two small black knobs.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’re you getting? ” demanded the owner of the arm.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’re you picking up? ” demanded the captain, thickly.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’re you tryin ’ to send out there? ” re- peated the officer.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’re you workin ’ that key for? ” de- manded the figure.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s so mysterious about it? ” the man at the table demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s this mean? ” he demanded of his operator.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s this woman doing in this station at this time o ’ night? ” McKinnon turned slowly about.
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s this???
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s this???
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s this???
osu.32435018403576	“ What ’s up, anyway? ” he asked instead, fol- lowing the other out on the deck.
osu.32435018403576	“ What's this shooting on my ship? ” roared the captain.
osu.32435018403576	“ What's this woman doing here? ” demanded Captain Yandel.
osu.32435018403576	“ What? ” asked Lingg, inadequately, irrele- vantly.
osu.32435018403576	“ Where do I sign? ” demanded McKinnon, bringing the other man back to his side at the table.
osu.32435018403576	“ Where is the third station — the one besides Guariqui and Puerto Locombia? ” he asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Where yuh off to, son? ” he asked, as Lingg dropped to the splintered stringpiece of the wharf.
osu.32435018403576	“ Who is there? ” cried the startled officer, in Spanish, as he swung about with his lantern.
osu.32435018403576	“ Who ’s Ganley? ” asked McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why are you saying all this to me? ” he de- manded.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why did you say that to him? ” she demand- ed, trembling with indignation.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why is it hard? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why not by the sound of your spark?
osu.32435018403576	“ Why not? ” McKinnon forced a laugh.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why not? ” he asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why? ” asked McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why? ” asked McKinnon.
osu.32435018403576	“ Why? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Will you promise me to do nothing until I have got this receipt back for you? ” she asked as he still held her outstretched hand.
osu.32435018403576	“ Wimmin? ” demanded the laconic figure against the rail.
osu.32435018403576	“ Wo n’t you sit down until you feel better? ” “ No, no!
osu.32435018403576	“ Wo n’t you stay and try? ” she murmured, pregnantly.
osu.32435018403576	“ Would you like to understand me? ” she asked, turning her eyes full on his somewhat abashed young face.
osu.32435018403576	“ Would you mind reading that first despatch out to me? ” he asked with the placid authority of a prestidigitateur sure of his trick.
osu.32435018403576	“ Yes, in a way. ” “ But how? ” she demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ Yes, ” said the panting and puzzled woman, “ I have something of his. ” “ What is it? ” asked the operator.
osu.32435018403576	“ Yes; to- night. ” THE CONVERGING TRAILS 109 “ To- night? ” cried McKinnon, looking down at her in mingled protest and astonishment.
osu.32435018403576	“ Yet I think we can cross it, when the time comes. ” “ But how? ” she demanded.
osu.32435018403576	“ You are not going to try to take that motor from them? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ You are still sending, are you not? ” asked the young woman, stepping still nearer the oper- ating- table.
osu.32435018403576	“ You could put me in there? ” she suggested, 84 THE TANGLING SKEIN with a satiric motion towards the operator ’s closet- door.
osu.32435018403576	“ You do not mind? ” she asked, obviously puzzled by his continued aloofness.
osu.32435018403576	“ You do n’t like the work, eh? ” “ It ’s good enough when you ’ve got a decent station.
osu.32435018403576	“ You do n’t mean she ’s off her trolley, our first hour out? ” asked the other.
osu.32435018403576	“ You do n’t suppose I ’m going to take money to hold up the company ’s business? ” he de- manded.
osu.32435018403576	“ You do n’t trust me?
osu.32435018403576	“ You mean bad news for me? ” mildly in- quired the other, with a languid uplift of his shaggy, iron- grey eyebrows.
osu.32435018403576	“ You mean you are not free to speak? ” she persisted, evading the personal issue which his declaration had thrust before her.
osu.32435018403576	“ You own this ship? ” he asked, with a quiet- ness that might have disturbed a less intrepid spirit.
osu.32435018403576	“ You want me to explain everything? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ You want me to explain that? ” she asked, her eyes on the younger man ’s face.
osu.32435018403576	“ You want to know who that man is? ” she said at last, perplexed a little by his sudden de- cisiveness, disturbed by the hardening of his face.
osu.32435018403576	“ You will wait? ” she insisted, as though doubly to impress on each of them some future course of action.
osu.32435018403576	“ You ’ll promise me that? ” asked the other with a look of relief.
osu.32435018403576	“ You ’re going to eat it while I start to send. ” “ Then you can send? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ You ’re not afraid of me? ” she inquired, with a disarming soft intimacy of tone that sent the blood once more rioting through his veins.
osu.32435018403576	“ You ’ve got them — the Princeton? ” she asked.
osu.32435018403576	“ Your machine ’s working, is n’t it? ” he asked, preoccupied with an inspection of the end of his cigar.
osu.32435054215884	- “ Surprised? ” she asked, starting to lead him down the hall.
osu.32435054215884	258 THE UNKNOWN SEVEN “ Hear that noise? ” whispered Latham.
osu.32435054215884	After I had placed certain facts before her, she agreed with me that your usefulness to us is past. ” “ Certain facts?
osu.32435054215884	All I can tell you is that I saw Mr. Reeves alive. ” “ And well? ” questioned Englebreth sharply.
osu.32435054215884	Am I right? ” “ In the main.
osu.32435054215884	And what do you write? ” “ Trifling things, ” said Cole modestly.
osu.32435054215884	Are n't you afraid that I might run away? ” “ I am not, ” said Cole emphatically.
osu.32435054215884	Are n't you carrying your suppositions rather too far, Mr. Stone? ” Again he cast a sidelong glance at the inner door.
osu.32435054215884	Are there any strings to the proposition? ” The other chuckled dryly.
osu.32435054215884	Are you going to charge me for this visit?
osu.32435054215884	Are you with me so far, Mr. Cole? ” Cole's shoulder made a seesawing motion.
osu.32435054215884	But how does the charming Miss Brown expect me to find my way back to the headquarters of The Unknown Seven?
osu.32435054215884	But you do n't mean to tell me that sane men like Latham and Ballinger are dabbling in the exploded myth of alchemy? ” “ I do.
osu.32435054215884	By the way, professor, are n't you keeping rather queer office hours?
osu.32435054215884	Can you arrange to have the whole organization here for dinner? ” The lawyer fingered his chin in a bewildered way.
osu.32435054215884	Can you picture such a fate, Mr. Cole?
osu.32435054215884	Care to hear imore? ” “ What else do you know? ” “ I know that the case you are working on is only one minor angle of a vast mystery.
osu.32435054215884	Care to hear imore? ” “ What else do you know? ” “ I know that the case you are working on is only one minor angle of a vast mystery.
osu.32435054215884	Cole, how much will you take to drop the Carmody case? ” Cole could not help but laugh.
osu.32435054215884	Could n't it be one of your own men? ” “ No.
osu.32435054215884	Did his client suspect that Cole was betraying him by conduct- THE MORNING'S MAIL I47 ing secret negotiations with an enemy?
osu.32435054215884	Did the interview prove satisfactory? ”- IOO THE UNKNOWN SEVEN “ The cause of this deplorable situation is obvi- ous.
osu.32435054215884	Do n't you think you had better speak to the chef about the Sauterne? ” She gave him a puzzled look, then a roguish smile illuminated her face.
osu.32435054215884	Do you know who he is? ”- “ No.
osu.32435054215884	Do you know, professor, I some- times wonder if the late lamented Doctor Price was not about two hundred years ahead of his time?
osu.32435054215884	Does n't a woman's soul mean anything to you, Mr. Cole? ” Cole looked down into her eyes, while her fingers spasmodically clutched his hand.
osu.32435054215884	Does that strike you as reasonable, Cole? ” “ Perfectly. ” Carmody scratched his jaw perplexedly.
osu.32435054215884	Eh, Cole? ” Cole measured him with a cool glance.
osu.32435054215884	Feel strong enough for a walk? ” “ Just try me!
osu.32435054215884	Getting down to terms, eh?
osu.32435054215884	Good for a fine if I get pinched? ” “ Sure, ” said Cole easily, though not altogether unmindful of the slender roll in his pocket.
osu.32435054215884	Had Englebreth dismissed him because of his failure to heed a warning which he had not under- stood?
osu.32435054215884	Have you seen Malcolm? ” “ I have, Mr. Englebreth.
osu.32435054215884	His mind worked quickly, but the sight of the three 296 THE UNKNOWN SEVEN “ No? ” Englebreth's thin fingers seemed to tighten around the pistol.
osu.32435054215884	His name y?
osu.32435054215884	How are we going to find him? ” “ Leave that to me. ” Cole's narrowing gaze slanted upward, as if his thoughts were on the track of an idea.
osu.32435054215884	How are you, doctor?
osu.32435054215884	How can you be so posi- tive that my brother- in- law was alive last night?
osu.32435054215884	How did he get hold of the combination that controls the mechanism?
osu.32435054215884	However, his actions told us a great deal the other night. ” “ When he seemed to recognize Doctor Latham in you? ” “ Exactly.
osu.32435054215884	I dare say you have already suspected who he is? ” THE TRAITOR.
osu.32435054215884	I hope I make my meaning clear? ” “ You will not reconsider your decision? ” “ No! ” declared Latham explosively.
osu.32435054215884	I hope I make my meaning clear? ” “ You will not reconsider your decision? ” “ No! ” declared Latham explosively.
osu.32435054215884	I saw him last night. ” “ Where? ” The invalid strained forward in his chair.
osu.32435054215884	I suppose Carlin has explained the situation to you? ” “ He has only given me a few hints.
osu.32435054215884	I22 THE UNKNOWN SEVEN “ See that car? ” He pointed at the tail light twinkling in the distance.
osu.32435054215884	If the others thought him guilty of duplicity, why did she not think likewise?
osu.32435054215884	In fact, it left only one possible theory in regard to the object of your visit. ” “ Why only one?
osu.32435054215884	Is n't it conceivable, for in- stance, that I came here to see if your office con- tains anything worth stealing? ” Doctor Latham shook his head.
osu.32435054215884	Is n't it so, Mr. Cole?
osu.32435054215884	Is n't that correct? ” “ Substantially, yes. ” “ And, as I understand it, nobody saw the crime committed.
osu.32435054215884	Is n't there some satisfaction for you in that? ” “ Oh, yes, a lot, ” said Cole ironically.
osu.32435054215884	It is your last chance. ” “ And if I refuse? ” The professor screwed his face into a melancholy expression.
osu.32435054215884	It was just possible that A WARNING 229 be doing, and what did the frequent striking of matches mean?
osu.32435054215884	It was n’t so very long ago that some one discovered that radium can be produced from helium, or was it the other way round?
osu.32435054215884	It was yet 246 THE UNKNOWN SEVEN “ Any news of Miss Brownell? ” “ Not a word, doctor.
osu.32435054215884	May I ask what they are? ” “ You will learn soon enough if you accept our proposition.
osu.32435054215884	May I expect to hear from you soon again? ” “ To- morrow, I hope. ” Cole was still marveling at the change he had witnessed in his client.
osu.32435054215884	Mr. Cole, wo n't you forgo your foolish pride and do what I ask? ” Her eyes held him despite his will.
osu.32435054215884	Nothing unusual in that. ” “ But you will admit that this fellow's mode of entrance was rather irregular?
osu.32435054215884	Now that you are here what do you propose to do? ” Cole only smiled.
osu.32435054215884	Now will you answer my question?
osu.32435054215884	Now, wo n't you tell me to what I owe the honor of this visit? ” “ Is that a candid question, Doctor Latham? ” “ By no means, my friend.
osu.32435054215884	Now, wo n't you tell me to what I owe the honor of this visit? ” “ Is that a candid question, Doctor Latham? ” “ By no means, my friend.
osu.32435054215884	One does n't like to ask favors of strangers. ” “ Favors? ” Carmody's face took on a forbid- ding frown.
osu.32435054215884	Seen anything of Ballinger lately? ” “ Not for half an hour or so.
osu.32435054215884	Smoke? ” Cole helped himself to a cigarette from the physi- cian's case, slanting a quick glance in the girl's direc- tion as he lighted it.
osu.32435054215884	Suppose we go down and sample one of my cigars? ” Cole assented, but not until he had searched the hunchback and removed a handful of matches.
osu.32435054215884	THE RED LIGHT Io?
osu.32435054215884	THE TEMPTRESS SPEAKS 37 “ Where are you? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	The capture of the hunchback now seemed certain, but what was he to do with the man after he had caught him?
osu.32435054215884	The third reason is Toots. ” “ Toots? ” Lathem frowned.
osu.32435054215884	Their physical welfare is all that concerns me. ” “ But suppose this individual had committed a murder?
osu.32435054215884	Then there are those who cling to the theory that his production of gold was nothing but an accident. ” “ What happened? ” asked Cole.
osu.32435054215884	There is still another doctor involved. ” “ Still another?
osu.32435054215884	There was 64 THE UNKNOWN SEVEN no time to explain, and you would n't have believed me anyway. ” “ Explain? ” Cole asked contemptuously.
osu.32435054215884	They decided to prevent that by silencing him forever. ” “ What else? ” asked Cole, eying the lawyer steadily.
osu.32435054215884	To- night, maybe. ” “ What's your grudge against the doctor? ” inquired Cole.
osu.32435054215884	True, is n't it? ” “ Unfortunately it is, ” said Cole, “ but I do n't see what all this 22 “ Just a moment.
osu.32435054215884	Understand that? ” “ I ’ll do whatever you say. ” “ All right, then.
osu.32435054215884	Very curious on that point, are n't you, professor?
osu.32435054215884	Was it possible that Englebreth, in some strange and devious way, had learned of the attempt that had been made to persuade Cole to betray his client?
osu.32435054215884	Was that what had been in Englebreth ’s mind when he uttered that strange warning?
osu.32435054215884	We know that they are already producing gold, or a substitute for gold, on a very large scale. ” “ Where? ” inquired Cole quickly.
osu.32435054215884	We want you, Mr. Cole, to go out and get the evidence against Doctor Latham. ” “ Me? ” “ Why not?
osu.32435054215884	We want you, Mr. Cole, to go out and get the evidence against Doctor Latham. ” “ Me? ” “ Why not?
osu.32435054215884	What about another of those cigars, doctor? ” 138 THE UNKNOWN SEVEN Latham did not move.
osu.32435054215884	What about your hired agents? ” “ I trust them as I trust myself.
osu.32435054215884	What could be worse? ” Cole was silent.
osu.32435054215884	What could he have meant?
osu.32435054215884	What do you care about that sort of thing? ” “ Are you going to surrender them? ” demanded Carmody, and the words sounded like an ultimatum.
osu.32435054215884	What do you care about that sort of thing? ” “ Are you going to surrender them? ” demanded Carmody, and the words sounded like an ultimatum.
osu.32435054215884	What do you make of those letters, Abbott? ” But Abbott was too deeply engrossed in his task to hear the question.
osu.32435054215884	What do you say to the idea? ” Cole pondered.
osu.32435054215884	What do you say? ” The doctor regarded him calculatingly.
osu.32435054215884	What do you want of him? ” “ Find him and send him to my office, ” said Cole hurriedly.
osu.32435054215884	What happened? ” “ Ballinger was too clever for me, ” she confessed.
osu.32435054215884	What is it? ” Cole pointed carelessly to the door at which the doctor had been covertly glancing from time to time.
osu.32435054215884	What is your interest in the Carmody case? ” She stepped up and clutched his hand.
osu.32435054215884	What is your profession? ” “ Author, ” said Cole, recalling that he had two volumes on criminology to his credit.
osu.32435054215884	What object could any one have in doing it? ” “ I do n't know, Carlin.
osu.32435054215884	What seems to be the trouble? ” “ I could n't quite make out.
osu.32435054215884	What shall we do with him? ” Once more came an electric hush.
osu.32435054215884	What were they? ” “ I think you know, ” said Englebreth in a hard, dry tone.
osu.32435054215884	What will you do if I spare your life? ” “ Anything, anything you say. ” Cole considered.
osu.32435054215884	What would be the effect on that beaming countenance if he should suddenly speak Malcolm Reeves'name?
osu.32435054215884	What, then, was the reason for her attitude?
osu.32435054215884	When I opened my eyes the next morn- ing I found myself here. ” “ How have they treated you? ” “ Oh, very well, suspiciously well.
osu.32435054215884	Where are we? ” “ That place, up there in the clouds, where you see the light, is called Dutchess Point.
osu.32435054215884	Where did you find these matches? ” He pointed to a litter of charred stubs on the floor.
osu.32435054215884	Where did you get the key? ” “ Oh, the key, ” said Cole lightly.
osu.32435054215884	Which way had Carmody turned after Cole left the offices?
osu.32435054215884	Who do you think performed the operation on Reeves? ” Cole stared at her for an instant.
osu.32435054215884	Who told him how to get through the wall?
osu.32435054215884	Who was the intruder, and was Carlin right in the surmise that the documents in the filing cases were the object of the mysterious visit?
osu.32435054215884	Why did you disregard it? ” A long silence ensued.
osu.32435054215884	Why do you ask? ” “ Because — But see for yourself. ” With a wondering glance at the detective, Car- lin crossed the floor.
osu.32435054215884	Why not leave well enough alone? ” “ It ’s a good suggestion, ” said Cole, smiling.
osu.32435054215884	Why should I drop the case? ” “ Because of the things I have told you. ” Cole laughed.
osu.32435054215884	Will you do it right away, Mrs. Armstrong?
osu.32435054215884	Will you do me a favor, doctor? ” “ That depends.
osu.32435054215884	Will you promise me on your honor that you will not try to ascertain the location of the place I shall take you to? ” Cole considered.
osu.32435054215884	Wo n't you come to your senses before it's too late?
osu.32435054215884	Wo n't you tell me your name? ” “ You may call me Miss Brown. ” “ The name does n't fit you, ” he objected.
osu.32435054215884	Wo n't you try to brush your doubts aside, Mr. Cole?
osu.32435054215884	Would the green light flash on the indicator?
osu.32435054215884	You are begin- ning to understand? ” Cole nodded.
osu.32435054215884	You have no objection, I hope? ” The doctor drew himself up.
osu.32435054215884	You have taken extraordinary pre- cautions against my patient escaping, but what about myself?
osu.32435054215884	You know quite well what I mean, so why pretend?
osu.32435054215884	You know the lady I am referring to? ” “ Why — er — slightly. ” Cole gave him a hard, searching glance.
osu.32435054215884	You wish to have a talk with him, I suppose?
osu.32435054215884	You would not believe me if I were to tell you, so what is the use? ” “ You might try, ” suggested Cole.
osu.32435054215884	You would not care to harbor a mur- derer in your house, would you? ” A slight flicker of uneasiness showed in the doc- tor's eyes.
osu.32435054215884	Your disappearance came as a great shock to him. ” “ Then you no longer think he is implicated with these scoundrels? ” “ No, I do n’t.
osu.32435054215884	“ A murderer?
osu.32435054215884	“ Ah, would n't we?
osu.32435054215884	“ And what about the warning I gave you?
osu.32435054215884	“ And you — you caught him? ” asked Miss Brown.
osu.32435054215884	“ Any more of that sauterne left? ” he heard Car- lin ask the girl.
osu.32435054215884	“ Any news, Mr. Cole? ” he inquired in a low, toneless voice.
osu.32435054215884	“ Anything else? ” “ Just one thing more.
osu.32435054215884	“ Are n't you a bit hasty in turning to me with your suspicions? ” he asked good- naturedly.
osu.32435054215884	“ Are n't you forgetting something? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ Are you connected with the Bureau of Civic Research, professor? ” Cole went on.
osu.32435054215884	“ Are you crazy? ” spluttered the doctor.
osu.32435054215884	“ Are you going to poison us? ” she asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ Are you one of Reeves'relatives? ” he asked abruptly.
osu.32435054215884	“ Been trying to get hold of you everywhere. ” “ What has happened? ” asked Cole evenly, though the lawyer's agitation was contagious.
osu.32435054215884	“ But the other body?
osu.32435054215884	“ But what about Latham? ” “ Latham is an extremely clever and very versatile GOLD I95 man.
osu.32435054215884	“ But what are you going to do about it? ” He fancied the spokesman was smiling, but he could not be sure.
osu.32435054215884	“ But would n't the shot have been heard? ” asked Carlin.
osu.32435054215884	“ Can anything per- suade you to drop the Carmody case? ” She bent forward a little.
osu.32435054215884	“ Can you imagine any other explanation for the way Reeves acted that night? ” “ Yes; ca n't you? ” Cole shook his head ponderously.
osu.32435054215884	“ Can you imagine any other explanation for the way Reeves acted that night? ” “ Yes; ca n't you? ” Cole shook his head ponderously.
osu.32435054215884	“ Can you overtake it? ” “ I ’ll try, ” said the chauffeur, peering at him from beneath the visor of his cap.
osu.32435054215884	“ Ciphers?
osu.32435054215884	“ Could I trouble you for a match? ” The watcher searched his vest pocket and handed him one.
osu.32435054215884	“ Did n't I tell you to stay outside? ” “ So you did, and it was excellent advice, my friend.
osu.32435054215884	“ Did n't you know I was ready to shoot you? ” “ You did n’t, ” was the laconic answer.
osu.32435054215884	“ Did n't you know that murdering me would n't help you out of your predicament?
osu.32435054215884	“ Do you know the leader of the or- ganization? ” was his next question.
osu.32435054215884	“ Ever notice, Latham, that many people find it very hard to remain motionless when they are in a state of deep mental concentration?
osu.32435054215884	“ Fifteen or twenty minutes ago, ” he began, “ a man entered your house. ” “ Yes? ” asked the physician in a toneless voice.
osu.32435054215884	“ Found out any- thing? ” “ The more I find out about this case the less I know, ” confessed Cole.
osu.32435054215884	“ Has anything happened to her? ” Cole smiled amusedly.
osu.32435054215884	“ Have n't I told you enough, Mr. Cole? ” “ What little you told me was only a provocation.
osu.32435054215884	“ Have n't you? ” Ballinger smiled queerly, but the opening of the door and the announcement that dinner was served forestalled a reply.
osu.32435054215884	“ Have you a search warrant? ” Cole shook his head.
osu.32435054215884	“ Have you anything to say? ” he asked, bending over the cot in an effort to catch Cole's faintly mumbled words.
osu.32435054215884	“ Have you heard enough? ” she asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ He is still here? ” The lawyer nodded.
osu.32435054215884	“ He might shoot next time. ” “ How is the foot? ” inquired Latham.
osu.32435054215884	“ He? ” Carlin seemed to be trying to shake off a spell.
osu.32435054215884	“ How P ’ ’ “ Malcolm Reeves told us. ” “ Reeves told you? ” “ By his actions, while you were lying on the cot.
osu.32435054215884	“ How did that stain get on your cuff, doctor? ” The physician's arm was stretched out flat on the table, and Cole pointed to the soiled cuff.
osu.32435054215884	“ How do you feel? ” inquired the physician.
osu.32435054215884	“ How do you know that? ” She laughed a little.
osu.32435054215884	“ How do you know this, Mr. Cole?
osu.32435054215884	“ How is Mr. Reeves? ” he inquired.
osu.32435054215884	“ How is the patient, doctor? ” inquired Cole briskly, glancing at the door in the rear.
osu.32435054215884	“ How much reason? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ How will you dispose of the rascal if he gets through? ” was Cole's next question.
osu.32435054215884	“ How, if I may ask? ” “ By a form of persuasion that is far more powerful than the fear of death.
osu.32435054215884	“ How? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ I do n't believe I've had the pleas- ure of meeting you before. ” “ Do n’t you know who I am? ” Carmody wagged his head.
osu.32435054215884	“ I suppose you are armed? ” he asked after a while.
osu.32435054215884	“ I wonder if you are referring to Mal- colm Reeves? ” For a moment Cole looked as if he had received a blow between the eyes.
osu.32435054215884	“ Is Reeves a patient of yours? ” The doctor lowered his gaze.
osu.32435054215884	“ Is Reeves dead? ” asked the doctor hoarsely.
osu.32435054215884	“ Is Reeves one of your patients? ” Cole managed to ask.
osu.32435054215884	“ Is n't it possible that he is up to deviltry of some kind? ” Carlin shook his head.
osu.32435054215884	“ Just what do you want, Carmody? ” “ Ah, that's better!
osu.32435054215884	“ Life is a bit of a tangle, is n't it?
osu.32435054215884	“ May I ask what you intend doing? ” inquired the physician, following him.
osu.32435054215884	“ Not afraid, are you, Mr. Cole? ” He gave a low laugh at the implied dare.
osu.32435054215884	“ Not even in order to save the life of this charm- ing young lady? ” Carmody turned his beatifically smiling face toward Miss Brownell.
osu.32435054215884	“ Nothing is going to happen to her for twenty- four hours. ” “ But why delay? ”* “ Because we can do nothing else.
osu.32435054215884	“ Pardon me, but are n't you trespassing? ” inquired Carmody after a pause.
osu.32435054215884	“ Perhaps you still suspect me? ” asked Cole lightly.
osu.32435054215884	“ Please be careful. ” “ What? ” Cole turned and looked back at the invalid.
osu.32435054215884	“ So that's what the mystery is about?
osu.32435054215884	“ Sup- pose I should throw you out? ” “ That would be very rude, doctor.
osu.32435054215884	“ That you, Mrs. Armstrong? ” he asked when he had got his connection.
osu.32435054215884	“ Then you accept? ” Cole pondered while his glance swept the masked faces.
osu.32435054215884	“ These are just ordinary letters. ” “ Sure of that? ” demanded Cole sharply.
osu.32435054215884	“ Think you can keep her in sight, doctor? ” asked Cole, noticing with concern that the larger boat was gaining speed.
osu.32435054215884	“ Well, Latham, what would you call rea- sonable guarantees? ” “ Cole and myself will remain here for the pres- ent.
osu.32435054215884	“ Well, Mr. Cole? ” The surgeon, paying no attention to the lunatic, looked impatiently at Cole.
osu.32435054215884	“ Well, Mr. Cole? ” he asked lightly.
osu.32435054215884	“ Well? ” asked the lawyer.
osu.32435054215884	“ Well? ” he asked at length.
osu.32435054215884	“ Well? ” said the invalid.
osu.32435054215884	“ Were you saying something I was not supposed to hear? ” she inquired.
osu.32435054215884	“ What about Reeves? ” “ Dead, stabbed through the heart.
osu.32435054215884	“ What about her? ” he demanded sharply.
osu.32435054215884	“ What about the former executive you mentioned, the man who betrayed you? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ What are these letters to you? ” “ You shall not leave this office with them.
osu.32435054215884	“ What are you doing with those letters? ” he demanded.
osu.32435054215884	“ What are you doing? ” inquired Latham sharply, too amazed at Cole's conduct to be able to interfere.
osu.32435054215884	“ What are you get- ting at? ” But Cole seemed in no hurry to approach his subject.
osu.32435054215884	“ What can the fellow hope to gain by coming here? ” he asked Carlin.
osu.32435054215884	“ What do you hope to gain by such tomfoolery? ” he demanded.
osu.32435054215884	“ What do you see? ” he asked, wondering whether the man was capable of any form of response.
osu.32435054215884	“ What do you suppose it is? ” Cole listened.
osu.32435054215884	“ What does it mean? ” he asked Carlin.
osu.32435054215884	“ What else? ” “ You live in a small apartment in Gramercy Park, which also serves as your office.
osu.32435054215884	“ What have you to say, Mr. Cole? ” “ You have been spying on me evidently? ” “ You are using an unpleasant word.
osu.32435054215884	“ What have you to say, Mr. Cole? ” “ You have been spying on me evidently? ” “ You are using an unpleasant word.
osu.32435054215884	“ What is it, Sloane? ” he asked quietly.
osu.32435054215884	“ What is it? ” asked the spokesman.
osu.32435054215884	“ What seems to be the matter? ” asked Doctor Latham in a brisk, cheerful voice.
osu.32435054215884	“ What shall we do with him? ” he asked again.
osu.32435054215884	“ What shall we do? ” asked Latham.
osu.32435054215884	“ What the deuce did she mean? ” he mumbled.
osu.32435054215884	“ What's happened? ” he inquired, realizing a moment later that he might as well have addressed a wooden image.
osu.32435054215884	“ What's the matter? ” he asked innocently.
osu.32435054215884	“ When did you last see Professor Carmody? ” The giggling ended in a quick intake of breath.
osu.32435054215884	“ When did you last see the body? ” he inquired, and his voice sounded a trifle husky.
osu.32435054215884	“ Where are you? ” demanded the lawyer excitedly.
osu.32435054215884	“ Where did he get the duplicate key to the elevator door?
osu.32435054215884	“ Where did he go? ” “ Oh, him! ” The operator grinned as he stuffed the bill into a pocket.
osu.32435054215884	“ Where is he? ” he asked, shaking the lawyer's arin.
osu.32435054215884	“ Who are you? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ Who is Toots? ” “ The most distracted cat in the State of New York at the present moment.
osu.32435054215884	“ Who is the traitor? ”- Cole shook his head.
osu.32435054215884	“ Who ’s there? ” demanded a voice which he recognized as Miss Brownell's.
osu.32435054215884	“ Whom would you pick? ” he whispered back.
osu.32435054215884	“ Why a stranger?
osu.32435054215884	“ Why are you here? ” he demanded of the physi- cian.
osu.32435054215884	“ Why did you try to kill him? ” “ Why do n't you ask him? ” retorted the hunch- back, wagging his head in the physician's direction.
osu.32435054215884	“ Why did you try to kill him? ” “ Why do n't you ask him? ” retorted the hunch- back, wagging his head in the physician's direction.
osu.32435054215884	“ Why do you say that, sir? ” Cole fumbled for words, then laughed.
osu.32435054215884	“ Why pretend you do n't know? ” he asked; then, in wheedling tones: “ Come now!
osu.32435054215884	“ Why should I be? ” Cole asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ Why? ” demanded the doctor.
osu.32435054215884	“ Will you kindly step this way, Mr. Cole? ” he asked in the courteous tones of a well- trained Servant.
osu.32435054215884	“ Will you tell me how you knew, doctor? ” “ Through a process of elimination.
osu.32435054215884	“ Wo n't you step in, Mr. Cole? ” asked a voice.
osu.32435054215884	“ You are a detective, I suppose? ” said Latham.
osu.32435054215884	“ You are not going to order me out, I hope? ” “ Suppose I should do that? ” “ I would overlook your rudeness and refuse to take the hint.
osu.32435054215884	“ You are not going to order me out, I hope? ” “ Suppose I should do that? ” “ I would overlook your rudeness and refuse to take the hint.
osu.32435054215884	“ You hesitate?
osu.32435054215884	“ You made memoranda of your experiments, of course? ” “ Naturally. ” “ Where are your notes? ”> Latham smiled blandly.
osu.32435054215884	“ You made memoranda of your experiments, of course? ” “ Naturally. ” “ Where are your notes? ”> Latham smiled blandly.
osu.32435054215884	“ You mean these men will kill me unless I accept their vile terms? ” he asked.
osu.32435054215884	“ You refuse? ” The surgeon waited a moment longer for an answer; then, with a shrug, he re- placed the knife and stepped aside.
osu.32435054215884	“ You saw, of course? ” “ Yes, I saw enough. ” The sheepish grin still Jingered on Cole's lips.
osu.32435054215884	“ You were involved with this golden coterie, were n't you? ” “ For a time.
osu.32435054215884	“ You wish to ask a favor of me? ” “ Just a slight one.
osu.32435054215884	“ You, Miss Brown? ” A brief pause, and then her voice came to him in hurried tones that bespoke intense excitement.

nyp.33433082175732	But was the letter which he had not received the first which Jarvet had written?
nyp.33433082175732	But were they?
nyp.33433082175732	But what about Menzies- Kerr- his close friend?
nyp.33433082175732	But what about Steynard?
nyp.33433082175732	But what about the iron- fisted hordes across the Rhine, those hordes, thinking and acting to the will of a handful of men?
nyp.33433082175732	But what about the others: Baron von Bardeleben, Herr von Kirchweg, and the third whose name he did not know?
nyp.33433082175732	But what about the third category of elements, the ones which puzzled him?
nyp.33433082175732	But what and how?
nyp.33433082175732	But what costs?
nyp.33433082175732	But what had happened?
nyp.33433082175732	But what is it- ex- actly? ” Nordeg smiled.
nyp.33433082175732	But what should he do with it in the meantime?
nyp.33433082175732	But who was the man?
nyp.33433082175732	But why do I have to wait for your answer until I have dis- covered the assassin?"
nyp.33433082175732	But why had Menzies- Kerr tried to talk to the latter?
nyp.33433082175732	But why were they both here?
nyp.33433082175732	But why, since Lantaigne had managed to scribble the few lines and throw them out of the window, had he not addressed them to the police?
nyp.33433082175732	But why?
nyp.33433082175732	But you do n't mean to say that Nordeg was enough of a congenital idiot to go into the German Embassy, do you?"
nyp.33433082175732	But, perhaps, fraught with meaning, portentous, gigantic, disastrous, dark- smol- dering — to whom?
nyp.33433082175732	But,"lending his words the emphasis of a suddenly lowered voice_“why did you write to Lord Menzies- Kerr?
nyp.33433082175732	But,"“ But?"
nyp.33433082175732	But- Tennant wrinkled his forehead — was there not something strange about those telephone calls?
nyp.33433082175732	But- damn it!-when the best friend I have in the world treats me as you do ” “ What do you mean- treats you? ” “ Just this!
nyp.33433082175732	By mail? ” “ No.
nyp.33433082175732	By the way, did Lord Menzies- Kerr wear his fur coat? ” “ No, suh; he's wearing your blue ulster, suh."
nyp.33433082175732	By the way, have you notified mademoiselle's father? ” “ Of course not.
nyp.33433082175732	By the way, you do n't happen to know an expert forger, do you?
nyp.33433082175732	CLEWS “ Yet Jarvet had money? ” “ I believe so. ” Tennant looked about the room.
nyp.33433082175732	Call on her? ” Doumay broke into peals of laughter.
nyp.33433082175732	Caused by what?
nyp.33433082175732	Clear so far?"
nyp.33433082175732	Could Menzies- Kerr have been the murderer after all?
nyp.33433082175732	Could n't you phone me or Ducastel?
nyp.33433082175732	Crossed wires, was it?'
nyp.33433082175732	Did break your roadster into kindling, did n't you? ” and he pointed where, in fingers opet you barry.
nyp.33433082175732	Did n't you know? ” asked Tennant innocently, and when the other only snorted his disgust he continued: “ No.
nyp.33433082175732	Did n't you know?"
nyp.33433082175732	Did n't you, now?
nyp.33433082175732	Did you clap her in jail again?
nyp.33433082175732	Did you credit her score with another murder?
nyp.33433082175732	Did you get him?
nyp.33433082175732	Did you notice that, Doumay?"
nyp.33433082175732	Did you see the visitor leave the house? ” “ No.
nyp.33433082175732	Do n't go alone. ” “ I've got to, chief. ” “ Are you armed? ” “ What's the good of asking me that, chief?
nyp.33433082175732	Do n't go alone. ” “ I've got to, chief. ” “ Are you armed? ” “ What's the good of asking me that, chief?
nyp.33433082175732	Do n't you remember?
nyp.33433082175732	Do n't you see, man?
nyp.33433082175732	Do n't you see? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433082175732	Do you imagine I put it in? ”"No, sir!"
nyp.33433082175732	Do you remember?!?
nyp.33433082175732	Do you remember?!?
nyp.33433082175732	Do you want me to help you?
nyp.33433082175732	Does he dissuade her?
nyp.33433082175732	Does not matter how much they charge. ” “ Oh, does n't it?"
nyp.33433082175732	Doumay?
nyp.33433082175732	Duty?
nyp.33433082175732	Enfin, what are you?
nyp.33433082175732	Finally he looked up and asked: “ Well?
nyp.33433082175732	Find out what he might?
nyp.33433082175732	First of all, what had been the motive of the double murder?
nyp.33433082175732	Five hundred thou- sand dollars for your forged map, you said? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433082175732	Flirters with police regulations?
nyp.33433082175732	For I am frightened; frightened like a babe in the dark. ”"Frightened?
nyp.33433082175732	For was she not twenty- one?
nyp.33433082175732	For what chance was there in it?
nyp.33433082175732	Found our butcher yet?
nyp.33433082175732	Get me? ” M. Perquel's brown eyes lit up.
nyp.33433082175732	Get that quite'?
nyp.33433082175732	Give me back the number. ” “ What number?"
nyp.33433082175732	Good; is it not?
nyp.33433082175732	Got thumb tacks?
nyp.33433082175732	Had she ever heard German spoken in the house?
nyp.33433082175732	Have I guessed right, monsieur? ” Ducastel collapsed into the nearest chair.
nyp.33433082175732	Have you looked at the safe, M. Tennant? ” “ That thing over there? ” asked Tennant, pointing to the small, squat safe in a corner.
nyp.33433082175732	Have you looked at the safe, M. Tennant? ” “ That thing over there? ” asked Tennant, pointing to the small, squat safe in a corner.
nyp.33433082175732	He acquired that afterward. ” “ How- how?"
nyp.33433082175732	He and I ai n't friends, see?
nyp.33433082175732	He goes up- ah! ”-with a triumphant, dramatic flourish—“he finds you, monsieur! ” “ But who the devil is he?"
nyp.33433082175732	He had no business shadowing his best friend unless he suspected him of of what?
nyp.33433082175732	He has left?
nyp.33433082175732	He is working at the Jarvet- Steynard case, is n't he? ” “ He was.
nyp.33433082175732	He lives here, does n't he?"
nyp.33433082175732	He murmured something about ingenu- ous fools and asked: “ Going to hand over that map peacefully, without fuss or fight? ” “ No!
nyp.33433082175732	He saw my name, and brought it to me. ” “ Where did he find it?
nyp.33433082175732	He stepped right over and told me what he had seen. ” “ Before he knew why the police were there?
nyp.33433082175732	He won- dered who the stranger was?
nyp.33433082175732	He wore a felt hat pulled well over his eyes"“ And a loose coat? ” Tennant could hardly keep his voice from trembling.
nyp.33433082175732	His shop is closed. ” “ What?
nyp.33433082175732	How did that happen? ” The negro related that he had heard a noise at the front door just a minute or two earlier, like the scraping of a wire key.
nyp.33433082175732	How did you figure it out? ” And when Tennant had told him everything, he went on: “ But it is terrible — tragic- intolerable!
nyp.33433082175732	How do you know?
nyp.33433082175732	How then harmonize these two contradictory facts?
nyp.33433082175732	How were they going to get in?
nyp.33433082175732	How were they to engineer the rescue?
nyp.33433082175732	How?
nyp.33433082175732	How? ” “ If by any chance it should be to the advantage of that same chief, for, let's say, a personal reason.
nyp.33433082175732	I am after his scalp, see? ” And he bit his cigar viciously.
nyp.33433082175732	I am not blind, though I am deaf. ” “ Did he leave the house after lunch? ” “ No.
nyp.33433082175732	I did?
nyp.33433082175732	I do n't suppose you fell for it, Roux, did you? ” he asked casually.
nyp.33433082175732	I returned about ten minutes before six. ” “ What did you do then? ” “ I crossed the garden.
nyp.33433082175732	I still have the brains, the skill, the fine hand; eh? ” Tennant marveled.
nyp.33433082175732	I used to believe it! ” “ But, my dear lady! ” “ Why do you come here as a detective? ” she insisted.
nyp.33433082175732	I?
nyp.33433082175732	Is n't thaound it in “ Your father's handwriting? ” “ Yes, James.
nyp.33433082175732	Is n't that so? ” “ Yes, dear, ” she said wonderingly.
nyp.33433082175732	Is she dead?
nyp.33433082175732	Is that proof enough, monsieur? ” “ Enough?
nyp.33433082175732	Is that proof enough, monsieur? ” “ Enough?
nyp.33433082175732	It crashed straight into the empty house. ” “ But Nordeg; the man who drove it?"
nyp.33433082175732	It is unmistakable. ” “ How did you get the message?
nyp.33433082175732	It would not do in the salon of the Duchess de Polignac- hein? ” And he led on, finally announcing: “ Passage Moret!"
nyp.33433082175732	It's both a warning and a threat; that's clear, is n't it? ” “ I never received such a letter in my life! ” cried the other.
nyp.33433082175732	It's in keeping, too, with"“ With what? ” “ The Apache who gave that last yell! ” Tennant whispered in his chief's ear.
nyp.33433082175732	It's meant primarily for the people for whom he works. ” “ And who may they be?"
nyp.33433082175732	Jist sed he reckoned as you was an all- fi’ed rattlin'good detective and would you take up a private case?
nyp.33433082175732	Just plain, solid masonry. ”'“ Well, what do you make of it, Doumay? ” The subagent shrugged his shoulders.
nyp.33433082175732	La traite des blanches?
nyp.33433082175732	Lance- tilters with the civil code?
nyp.33433082175732	Lantaigne before he could possibly have known that Jarvet had been murdered?
nyp.33433082175732	Lantaigne was suspected? ” “ Why, yes; that's one of the main reasons why we arrested mademoiselle!
nyp.33433082175732	Lantaigne; also I am going to prove to you that I am your friend. ” “ How?"
nyp.33433082175732	Lantaigne? ” Menzies- Kerr gave a start.
nyp.33433082175732	Lantaigne?"
nyp.33433082175732	Let's find out about her deafness. ” “ What has that to do with the case?
nyp.33433082175732	Little box? ” Tennant was bewildered.
nyp.33433082175732	Look here, this is confidential, is n't it? ” “ Yes, monsieur. ” “ Good.
nyp.33433082175732	M. ERNEST LAFARGE 287 And you, baigne was the patinto kingdom antic visitor's “ Are n't you on yet?
nyp.33433082175732	M. Jarvet lunched here to- day. ” “ He wore his jewelry then? ” with a side smile at Ducastel, who was beginning to see daylight.
nyp.33433082175732	M. Jarvet received but few visitors. ” “ Do you recollect any of them? ” “ Yes; my memory is better than my hearing.
nyp.33433082175732	M. Tennant's family?
nyp.33433082175732	M. Tennant's fortune?
nyp.33433082175732	Make these men talk, these haggard, ill, silent men?
nyp.33433082175732	Menzies- Kerr brought a paper from his pocket and pointed at the head- lines: “ Who is the Gentleman with the Limp? ” anyway."
nyp.33433082175732	Milord is not here. ” “ When did he leave?"
nyp.33433082175732	Milord is sure of it?
nyp.33433082175732	Milord knows it?
nyp.33433082175732	More-ah- applied psychology? ” he added mockingly.
nyp.33433082175732	Must n't?
nyp.33433082175732	Name of a stuffed onion, why?
nyp.33433082175732	Notice those bits of fibrous cloth I picked out? ” “ Yes; what about them? ” “ They prove that I am right.
nyp.33433082175732	Notice those bits of fibrous cloth I picked out? ” “ Yes; what about them? ” “ They prove that I am right.
nyp.33433082175732	Now look at Jarvet's hands and convince yourself. ” “ What's the use?
nyp.33433082175732	Now you are trying to double- cross_ » “ Whom? ” asked Tennant with beautiful innocence; but the man did not fall into the trap.
nyp.33433082175732	Oh, I am going to use him for bait to catch ”"A fish? ” came Doumay's laughing inquiry from the other end of the wire.
nyp.33433082175732	One is, you did n't see ”"Those marks on the table?"
nyp.33433082175732	Only a far- off click, and central's lazy drawl: “ Number, please? ” Tennant was in a cold perspiration.
nyp.33433082175732	Only — what had been Nordeg's motive?
nyp.33433082175732	Only~"“ Only what? ” “ Only,"drawled Tennant, “ there happens to be the possibility of a prisoner escaping from New Cale- donia."
nyp.33433082175732	Only~"“ What?"
nyp.33433082175732	Or central butting in?
nyp.33433082175732	Or one of Nordeg's confederates?
nyp.33433082175732	Or perhaps a so- and- so capitalist?
nyp.33433082175732	Or was it not rather one of many?
nyp.33433082175732	Or, worse yet, an investigator sent by one of the charitable societies?
nyp.33433082175732	Or- he shook his head- could it be Nordeg?
nyp.33433082175732	Perhaps kill you?"
nyp.33433082175732	Phoned?
nyp.33433082175732	Please, M. Tennant; you must n't – »"Must n't?
nyp.33433082175732	Pourquoi voulez- vous que je sois ner- veuse, où prenez- vous que je sois nerveuse?
nyp.33433082175732	Quick work, eh? ” “ You bet.
nyp.33433082175732	Quite a ways from your regular beat of Saint- Sulpice, are n't you? ” The next instant the apache recognized him.
nyp.33433082175732	Remember Nordeg, the butcher of the Rue Férou?
nyp.33433082175732	SUSPICION 23 “ Why? ” asked Tennant.
nyp.33433082175732	Same as those on the table, are n't they? ”.
nyp.33433082175732	Say, am I crazy, or are you? ” “ But, monsieur, monsieur!
nyp.33433082175732	See that edge of white paper sticking out, caught in the safe door? ” “ Jarvet might have slammed the door on it. ”.
nyp.33433082175732	She's innocent! ” The Scotchman's words were thick, and the Frenchman, now thoroughly irate, asked maliciously:"Innocent, is she?
nyp.33433082175732	Should he shadow them?
nyp.33433082175732	Side- steppers of the codified conventions of society?
nyp.33433082175732	Silly of you, is n't it?
nyp.33433082175732	Square his shoulder, bunch his muscles, bend his neck, and make a run for it, football tackle fashion?
nyp.33433082175732	Stey- nard; Jarvet's old side- kick?
nyp.33433082175732	Steynard in? ” he asked the elderly, green- aproned, felt- slippered, bleary- eyed servant who came shuffling down the garden path.
nyp.33433082175732	Steynard, who threatened the government with terrible exposures, with a catastrophe?
nyp.33433082175732	Still, what has our-- my love — to do with Jarvet, with Steynard, with the whole miserable affair?"
nyp.33433082175732	Streets excited?
nyp.33433082175732	Suppose they do refuse to believe you, monsieur- nor your Scotch friend. ” “ What do you mean? ” “ Just this.
nyp.33433082175732	Sworn duty?
nyp.33433082175732	THE ADVERTISEMENT 201 “ Do you think he will try to crack M. Lantaigne's safe? ” “ Hardly.
nyp.33433082175732	Tear it up?
nyp.33433082175732	Tell me, how did you know that James Smith was ac- companied by this Charles Huard person? ” Tennant laughed.
nyp.33433082175732	That had been meant for him — or for the other?
nyp.33433082175732	That you, Doumay?
nyp.33433082175732	That's why I love you, James. ” “ Is that the only reason? ” he asked teasingly.
nyp.33433082175732	The Jarvet murder mystery must remain a sealed book. ”"You do n't call that putting your cards on the table? ” asked Tennant.
nyp.33433082175732	The answer of your capitalistic gov- ernment?
nyp.33433082175732	The great American bluff, hein?
nyp.33433082175732	The great American bluff, hein?
nyp.33433082175732	The man who lived there decamped this morning. ”"Decamped? ” asked Tennant, a little excited.
nyp.33433082175732	The murderer.smoked a cheap brand; I am familiar with it from New York. ” “ What does that signify? ”, “ Just this.
nyp.33433082175732	Then tell me, when was this picture taken?
nyp.33433082175732	Then why in blazes did you pur- loin my blue ulster and masquerade as me?
nyp.33433082175732	Then you'll pay! ” “ How? ” “ By going to jail as —"“ What?"
nyp.33433082175732	Then you'll pay! ” “ How? ” “ By going to jail as —"“ What?"
nyp.33433082175732	There was that butcher, Guillaume Nordeg- “ Was he here often? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433082175732	There's more than one actress in Paris —"“ Who smokes opium?
nyp.33433082175732	There's more than one actress in Paris"“ Who smokes opium?
nyp.33433082175732	They were going to croak you because of that map. ” “ Who?"
nyp.33433082175732	They were looking at something that looked like"“ A map?"
nyp.33433082175732	This time of night? ” Tennant consulted his watch.
nyp.33433082175732	This time of night? ” Tennant consulted his watch.
nyp.33433082175732	Those cuts"“ Well? ” “ Were made inadvertently- by the man who bent over Jarvet from behind, a little to the right, strangling CLEWS 39 him.
nyp.33433082175732	Those marks on the table?"
nyp.33433082175732	Time presses. ” “ Why the hurry? ” asked Tennant quite casually.
nyp.33433082175732	To bring back what?
nyp.33433082175732	To look for what?
nyp.33433082175732	To whom might he turn?
nyp.33433082175732	Was 302 CORNERED 303 it not rather only an instinctive soporific for his sub- conscious doubt and nervousness and fear?
nyp.33433082175732	Was he perhaps a rhinoceros of a landlord trying to serve a warrant for non- pay- ment of rent on an honest workman?
nyp.33433082175732	Was his turn to come next?
nyp.33433082175732	Was she not a charming girl and a great actress?
nyp.33433082175732	Was she not as fair as wheat and as blue- eyed as a cloudless summer sky?
nyp.33433082175732	We are from the same Norman vil- lage. ” “ And he engaged you in spite of your deafness? ” “ To be sure, monsieur.

nyp.33433082175732	We used to be chums in those days, were n't we? ” “ Rather.
nyp.33433082175732	What about it, James???
nyp.33433082175732	What about it, James???
nyp.33433082175732	What about it, James???
nyp.33433082175732	What about it? ” “ Just this, mon petit Tennant.
nyp.33433082175732	What about it? ” “ Lantaigne himself owned up to it that the affair was political, did n't he?"

nyp.33433076094618	- “ Then will you tell me what the devil you meant by shooting a pistol at me? ” cried Rowland angrily.
nyp.33433076094618	- “ What are you going to do? ” Rowland rose and put the glass on the washstand.
nyp.33433076094618	. ” 307 THE VISITOR “ And Fräulein Korasov P ” “ She, too. ” “ A nice party — and they have all escaped?
nyp.33433076094618	148 THE PLOT “ Do you think you will be long delayed? ” she inquired sleepily.
nyp.33433076094618	306 THE VISITOR “ Where is this sick lady? ” said the voice.
nyp.33433076094618	309 THE GOLDEN BOUGH “ Who is he?
nyp.33433076094618	A few days and 35 “ Whose room is this? ” she asked suddenly, looking round at the bare walls and shabby furniture.
nyp.33433076094618	A fool's errand?
nyp.33433076094618	A mile?
nyp.33433076094618	A miracle?
nyp.33433076094618	A monastery?
nyp.33433076094618	A pig with a ring in the end of his nose? ” he smiled.
nyp.33433076094618	A real hus- band?
nyp.33433076094618	A rule of succession by the sword which was observed down to imperial times 55 “ A ghastly succession — and Ivanitch? ” he ques- tioned.
nyp.33433076094618	Ah, you are tempted?
nyp.33433076094618	Am I no longer of any value — any account in your reckonings? ” She laughed hysterically.
nyp.33433076094618	And could he if he wished?
nyp.33433076094618	And even if she succeeded in eluding Khodkine, how could he hope that she would know the numbers of the combination?
nyp.33433076094618	And even if they knew what had happened, how would they be able to release him?
nyp.33433076094618	And for what Cause?
nyp.33433076094618	And how?
nyp.33433076094618	And if I knew — do you think — I'd tell you?
nyp.33433076094618	And if Madame Rochal were an agent of the Wilhelmstrasse working in the same interests as Monsieur Khodkine, why should the Russian distrust her?
nyp.33433076094618	And if he felt it, what use would he make of the power that had come ready- made to his hands?
nyp.33433076094618	And if he had taken the black bag why had he ordered these men to follow his cab instead of arresting him at once?
nyp.33433076094618	And if so, why a girl in a monk ’s cowl for sentry?
nyp.33433076094618	And if to Lindau why not on the only train which left for that place tonight?
nyp.33433076094618	And the time has come. ” “ Have you arms — ammunition? ” asked Rowland point- edly.
nyp.33433076094618	And then in French peremptorily, “ What do you want?
nyp.33433076094618	And then in a guarded tone, “ Who ’s there? ” There was a moment ’s pause and then a faint voice came to them — a woman ’s voice.
nyp.33433076094618	And then with much politeness, “ Will you permit me to continue? ” Rowland laughed.
nyp.33433076094618	And then? ” “ And then?
nyp.33433076094618	And then? ” “ And then?
nyp.33433076094618	And this Central Committee at Munich,--who is its leader? ” “ George Senf, a giant among pigmies.
nyp.33433076094618	And what difference could it make to this man Ivanitch whether he, Rowland, had been a slave or not?
nyp.33433076094618	And what the danger suggested by the final injunction of the girl to bolt the door of his bedroom?
nyp.33433076094618	And what the purpose of those who had contributed?
nyp.33433076094618	And what was the threat which Khodkine held over Tanya?
nyp.33433076094618	And what will you do now that you are across the border?
nyp.33433076094618	And where is he, your friend? ” “ In the stable nearby, with my precious instrument of torture.
nyp.33433076094618	And why, if an agent of Hochwald, should he show such in- quietude?
nyp.33433076094618	And yet how could Tanya?
nyp.33433076094618	And yet if it was von Stromberg who was opposed to him, what was the chance of his finding Tanya in this city of more than half a million people?
nyp.33433076094618	And yet if this man of mystery and power 190 THE CLUE already knew so much why had not Rowland already been imprisoned as an alien enemy and a spy?
nyp.33433076094618	And you Irina Colodna? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	And you — have you been here long? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076094618	And you ’ve fought long for France? ” “ More than two years. ” “ You were living in France? ” “ No, Mademoiselle, in America.
nyp.33433076094618	And you ’ve fought long for France? ” “ More than two years. ” “ You were living in France? ” “ No, Mademoiselle, in America.
nyp.33433076094618	And you, Monsieur Khodkine?
nyp.33433076094618	And you? ” She reassured him quickly.
nyp.33433076094618	Answer me. ” Had the man suddenly gone mad?
nyp.33433076094618	Are there two men whom you can trust? ” “ They are here, ” said Benz with a smile.
nyp.33433076094618	Are you all right? ” “ Oh, yes. ” In a lull of the storm they heard loud outcries from the now distant hall.
nyp.33433076094618	Are you?
nyp.33433076094618	At night while I slept. ” “ Who took it? ” A long silence.
nyp.33433076094618	But her nationality? ” “ No one knows.
nyp.33433076094618	But how could he reach Munich now that the last train had gone?
nyp.33433076094618	But it is mine to serve — and wait 39 “ Serve I? ” “ Let me finish.
nyp.33433076094618	But safe for how long?
nyp.33433076094618	But she believes that I believe her. ” “ Are you sure? ” she shrugged.
nyp.33433076094618	But the world has gone mad, Mademoi- selle. ” “ The Germans treated you badly? ” He smiled and shrugged.
nyp.33433076094618	But what claim after all had she on this Philippe Rowland?
nyp.33433076094618	But what?
nyp.33433076094618	But what??
nyp.33433076094618	But what??
nyp.33433076094618	But who told him? ” “ I ca n’t imagine, unless Madame Rochal 99 “ You are playing with fire, Princess.
nyp.33433076094618	But why should we quarrel? ” “ We wo n’t.
nyp.33433076094618	But without the hurdy- gurdy, and surrounded by police and soldiers all of whom had been notified of his passage across Bavaria, how would he fare?
nyp.33433076094618	But without the hurdy- gurdy, and surrounded by police and soldiers all of whom had been notified of his passage across Bavaria, how would he fare?
nyp.33433076094618	But you are also very foolish and I would not like to see you come to harm. ” “ And who would harm me? ” he said coolly.
nyp.33433076094618	But you have come, Monsieur, upon cloistered soil 99 “ A convent? ” “ No, not a convent, ” she said.
nyp.33433076094618	But you will not succeed in getting it out of Switzerland. ” “ Why not? ” “ Because it is a long way to the French border.
nyp.33433076094618	But you will return? ” “ Yes 33 Senf wrote a message and gave it to a man who was waiting outside the door.
nyp.33433076094618	Can you choose? ” His impudence amazed her.
nyp.33433076094618	Can you find the light here — somewhere on the floor? ” “ I ’ll try, Monsieur, ” she whispered.
nyp.33433076094618	Can you get them? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	Can you help, Zoya?
nyp.33433076094618	Can you not see? ” “ It is dangerous for him to remain, ” gasped the Rus- sian.
nyp.33433076094618	Clever?
nyp.33433076094618	Comfortable? ” The man groaned.
nyp.33433076094618	Could anything be ex- pected of Tanya?
nyp.33433076094618	Did Herr Förster not question you? ” asked Rowland keenly.
nyp.33433076094618	Did Herr Row- land believe the villa he sought could be as far away as that?
nyp.33433076094618	Did I do well or no? ” Cries of “ Hoch, ” the clapping of hands and the clat- ter of steins and glasses upon the tables at the sides.
nyp.33433076094618	Did Ivanitch speak of me to you? ” “ Oh, no, ” she said, turning and looking steadily into his eyes.
nyp.33433076094618	Did Mademoiselle Korasov commit to your keeping any documents — any papers? ” “ None, ” lied Rowland coolly.
nyp.33433076094618	Did Zoya know which way the pair had gone?
nyp.33433076094618	Did you not vote as Won Stromberg wished?
nyp.33433076094618	Did you not vote for my wonderful resolution?
nyp.33433076094618	Did you? ” Tanya was unprepared and involuntarily her hand clutched at her shirt waist where the papers were hidden in her breast.
nyp.33433076094618	Do I not look black enough? ” “ Quite so.
nyp.33433076094618	Do I not look black enough? ” “ Quite so.
nyp.33433076094618	Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433076094618	Do n’t you see?
nyp.33433076094618	Do n’t you understand? ” “ I understand what you say, ” he said smiling at her lazily.
nyp.33433076094618	Do you agree? ” “ Yes, ” she said after a moment.
nyp.33433076094618	Do you go on, Herr Hoch- wald — or shall we? ” “ With your permission we will wait a moment and dis- cuss the matter.
nyp.33433076094618	Do you hear? ” He stared at her, sullenly.
nyp.33433076094618	Do you know what that means? ” And as Rowland remained silent, as though in deep thought, Khodkine threw his long arms out in a wide gesture.
nyp.33433076094618	Do you never get angry? ” 159 THE GOLDEN BOUGH “ Well, rather!
nyp.33433076094618	Do you suppose that I can not see?
nyp.33433076094618	Do you understand? ” Tanya pressed his hand in token of comprehension.
nyp.33433076094618	Do you understand? ” “ Yes, ” she murmured.
nyp.33433076094618	Empty? ” Herr Berghof hesitated again and shot a quick glance over his shoulder toward the closed door behind him.
nyp.33433076094618	Every hotel, every pension — An hour ago we met with some Success 35 “ You ’ve found her? ” broke in Rowland eagerly.
nyp.33433076094618	For Germany?
nyp.33433076094618	For if Rowland knew who he was, from whom had he received the information?
nyp.33433076094618	For- give me. ” “ And you? ” she questioned.
nyp.33433076094618	Four o’clock — five?
nyp.33433076094618	From the shock- headed youth in the kitchen who had stared at him so curiously?
nyp.33433076094618	From what new source had she drawn the moral and physical courage to meet this new test of her womanhood?
nyp.33433076094618	From whom?
nyp.33433076094618	Gauche Droite Gauche. ” Or was it Droite Gauche Droite?
nyp.33433076094618	Had Efficiency slipped a cog?
nyp.33433076094618	Had Khodkine frightened her tonight?
nyp.33433076094618	Had Tatyana gotten something from the dead priest and told what she had learned to Rowland?
nyp.33433076094618	Had she left any of the contents of her suit- case upon the floor of the tonneau?
nyp.33433076094618	Hands up! ” “ What are you going to do? ” “ Wake Shestov and Barthou — Ah!
nyp.33433076094618	Have you a key, Herr Rowland, ” he asked maliciously, “ that you may open it? ” Rowland laughed.
nyp.33433076094618	Have you no eyes to see what is go- ing on about you? ” Rowland straightened and glanced carelessly over his shoulder.
nyp.33433076094618	He had seen a machine this afternoon rapidly passing his bakery which was on the highway to Munich — was it this very machine?
nyp.33433076094618	He hammered on the unresponsive steel for an p?
nyp.33433076094618	He has taken fright. ” “ But why? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076094618	He never knew. ” “ You did n’t give him too much? ” “ I hope not.
nyp.33433076094618	Here? ” The mingled expression of bewilderment and surprise upon his dirty face was com- ical.
nyp.33433076094618	Herr Gott| What a situation P ” “ What had you planned? ” she asked more gently after a moment.
nyp.33433076094618	Herr Markov helped our birds to escape? ” “ We came.
nyp.33433076094618	Herr Rowland was English or American, but to Internationalism what did nationality matter?
nyp.33433076094618	His body is near the road only a hundred yards or so from the wall. ” “ And you? ” “ Mademoiselle had whispered, “ Do nothing!
nyp.33433076094618	His cousin: Or was their relation something nearer, something —?
nyp.33433076094618	His niece?
nyp.33433076094618	His or yours? ” “ Mine, Herr Senf.
nyp.33433076094618	Hoch- wald Is it true? ” His pale eyes were regarding her keenly.
nyp.33433076094618	How could I know that the Fräulein was working against the interests of the Fatherland? ” “ Speak — what happened? ” ordered Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	How could I know that the Fräulein was working against the interests of the Fatherland? ” “ Speak — what happened? ” ordered Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	How did he find out? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076094618	How do you know? ” “ I ’ve found out.
nyp.33433076094618	How happens it that you are here in this uniform? ” “ I ’m a citizen of the world, a nomad.
nyp.33433076094618	How long had it accumulated?
nyp.33433076094618	How long had she slept?
nyp.33433076094618	How much of this did Frau Nisko know? ” “ Nothing — except that I had come to him.
nyp.33433076094618	How much of this responsibility would weigh upon Mon- sieur Rowland?
nyp.33433076094618	How much of this story that she told him was true, and how much born in the brain of the dead Ivanitch?
nyp.33433076094618	How near?
nyp.33433076094618	How shall you succeed against Hochwald while he holds your most im- portant witness?
nyp.33433076094618	Hurry, or harm will come — ” “ To you? ” eagerly.
nyp.33433076094618	I beg that you will let us be on our way. ” “ You were going — where? ” “ Further on.
nyp.33433076094618	I did n’t dare to leave the woods, even at night. ” “ You ’ve traveled far? ” “ A million miles, I think.
nyp.33433076094618	I fear nothing — ” “ Not even an escaping slave? ” The words uttered quickly, almost at random, had a most startling effect upon her.
nyp.33433076094618	I have been so frightened for you — so guilty in my conscience — ” “ Why? ” “ Because it was I who brought you into all this trouble.
nyp.33433076094618	I have frightened you?

nyp.33433076094618	I thought per- haps that you might be angry at my failure last year 99 “ Angry?
nyp.33433076094618	I will join you later. ” “ You are going —? ” Tanya asked anxiously.
nyp.33433076094618	I will vote — ” “ How — Madame —? ” Rowland caught one glimpse of her face in this moment of her disgrace.
nyp.33433076094618	I?
nyp.33433076094618	If 134 FLIGHT I have used my connections in Russia ’s services, how can you blame me? ” She made no reply.

nyp.33433076094618	Imagination?
nyp.33433076094618	In Germany? ” he laughed.
nyp.33433076094618	In this way you at least shall get through surely 99 “ But you?
nyp.33433076094618	In which direction was Lindenhoff And where Schloss Kempelstein?
nyp.33433076094618	Is it danger that you seek?
nyp.33433076094618	Is it my fault that I am set to guard you?
nyp.33433076094618	Is it not better that I show him to his room?
nyp.33433076094618	Is it not clear to you? ” 60 KHODKINE-I “ I am perhaps dull, Monsieur, ” said Rowland, vacu- ously.
nyp.33433076094618	Is it not damnable? ” “ Magnificent, ” gasped Rowland over her shoulder.
nyp.33433076094618	Is it not ex- traordinary?
nyp.33433076094618	Is it not so? ” to Drelich.
nyp.33433076094618	Is not my word as good as hers? ” Rowland shrugged.
nyp.33433076094618	Is that all you want to say? ”.
nyp.33433076094618	Is there anyone here who denies me the right? ” Silence.
nyp.33433076094618	Is this not so, Monsieur Rowland? ” she challenged him.
nyp.33433076094618	Is this not true? ” “ Yes, but how did you 29 Rowland grinned in self- gratulation.
nyp.33433076094618	It is here some- where in this house. ” “ Here?
nyp.33433076094618	It is my habit always to find out what I want to know 33 “ But if I am ignorant? ” she appealed.
nyp.33433076094618	It is number sixteen. ” “ No one entered by this window last night? ” 285 THE GOLDEN BOUGH the roofs — but they went away again.
nyp.33433076094618	It is the duty of the valet or night porter. ” “ Did the night porter go? ” “ I — I presume so. ” “ The night porter!
nyp.33433076094618	It seemed now as though the breath of every person was held in suspense, in awe- or was it terror?
nyp.33433076094618	It was my only chance. ” “ Your only chance of what? ” “ Of saving the money which belonged to the Society.
nyp.33433076094618	It was written in a code. ” “ He wrote it — here? ” “ Down stairs in the dining room.
nyp.33433076094618	Ivanitch?
nyp.33433076094618	Khod- kine twists him around his thumb. ” “ And so do I. ” “ Ach — and at what cost? ” he muttered suspiciously.
nyp.33433076094618	Khodkine surprised you there with Fräulein Korasov, nicht wahr? ” Rowland told him the truth.
nyp.33433076094618	Last night — you did n’t mind?
nyp.33433076094618	Love?
nyp.33433076094618	Madame Rochal —? ” He shrugged.
nyp.33433076094618	Mademoiselle Korasov sent you? ” Picard gasped and nodded.
nyp.33433076094618	Monsieur Rowland knows nothing. ” “ Does he look as if he knew anything? ” he said con- temptuously.
nyp.33433076094618	Nemi shall bury its own dead, and you, Monsieur 99 “ And I? ” he asked as she paused.
nyp.33433076094618	Nemiſ Where had he come upon the name before?
nyp.33433076094618	No German speaks French as you do. ” “ And what? ” “ Merely that I am an escaped prisoner of Germany on my way to Switzerland, ” he smiled.
nyp.33433076094618	No fanatic — no dreamer?
nyp.33433076094618	No one comes here. ” “ No one could have taken the ticket for the bag? ” The man looked bewildered.
nyp.33433076094618	No?
nyp.33433076094618	Nothing else. ” º “ What was it you were looking for, Monsieur? ” en- quired Rowland.

nyp.33433076094618	Or another lie? ” “ The truth ” in a lowered voice.
nyp.33433076094618	Or from others whom he had not seen?
nyp.33433076094618	Or had he fled because he thought that there would be no bag to redeem?
nyp.33433076094618	Or merely for Grisha Khod- kine?
nyp.33433076094618	Or was his sudden allegiance born of something more than the interests she served?
nyp.33433076094618	Or was the brain of the Légionnaire suffering from a delusion of its own weariness?
nyp.33433076094618	Or was there a motive behind this astonishing leniency?
nyp.33433076094618	Or was von Strom- berg waiting until all the cards should be in his own hand, when he would play them to win?
nyp.33433076094618	Our cause is the same — ” “ Is it?
nyp.33433076094618	Peace?
nyp.33433076094618	Picard reached Shestov in time? ” Rowland laughed, kissed her again and told her what had happened.
nyp.33433076094618	Picard — Stepan Would they know what to do?
nyp.33433076094618	Russia had already cast off her shackles — which other Monarchy would be next to follow?
nyp.33433076094618	Shall you stay awake? ” “ I sleep with one eye open — I can wake when I please.
nyp.33433076094618	She has escape 35 “ How?
nyp.33433076094618	She must do something with this money, something to put it forever out of Gregory Khodkine's way — but what?
nyp.33433076094618	So that you can try to murder me again?
nyp.33433076094618	Taglitz and his daughter?
nyp.33433076094618	Tanya, too — a dealer in magic and spells?
nyp.33433076094618	That is Matthias Markov. ” “ But why has he chosen this strange vocation? ” asked Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	That is all. ” “ A boy?
nyp.33433076094618	The long arm of coincidence?
nyp.33433076094618	The officer toppled, caught at the chimney-, 267 VON STROMBERG “ You are sure? ” “ Yes, yes. ”- “ Good.
nyp.33433076094618	The others went out into the streets at night and escape 33 “ With the black bag?
nyp.33433076094618	The porter was drunk. ” “ And the ticket Drelich gave you? ” 197 THE GOLDEN BOUGH Rowland grinned.
nyp.33433076094618	The sounds of their voices, Zoya's laugh, the clink of glasses — was this the weak link in the old man ’s armor?
nyp.33433076094618	The time comes soon “ And you will help me, Monsieur? ” Rowland asked urbanely.
nyp.33433076094618	The times in which he lived made murder a matter of small importance, and what was his own career in France but that of murder highly specialized?
nyp.33433076094618	The vault must be opened. ” “ The vault? ” echoed Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	Then do you mind if I creep into the tonneau and steal a wink of sleep? ” “ Not at all.
nyp.33433076094618	Then what was behind her thoughts — the ones she had not uttered?
nyp.33433076094618	Then who had them — who had taken the black bag?
nyp.33433076094618	There are others? ” “ Listen, Monsieur.
nyp.33433076094618	There are twenty- five thousand of them. ” “ What shall we do with them?
nyp.33433076094618	There may be others. ” “ Zoya Rochal? ” “ And Khodkine.
nyp.33433076094618	There was a call. ” “ Did you answer it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076094618	There was no attack. ” “ And you reached the villa of Count Monteori quite safely? ” “ Oh yes — safely. ” 99.
nyp.33433076094618	There ’s one way. ” “ What, Philippe —? ” “ A bee- line for the lake — ” “ How far is it? ” “ Not over a mile or so, I think.
nyp.33433076094618	There ’s one way. ” “ What, Philippe —? ” “ A bee- line for the lake — ” “ How far is it? ” “ Not over a mile or so, I think.
nyp.33433076094618	They are coming here soon? ” She nodded.
nyp.33433076094618	They had me working on the railroad near Mannheim. ” “ And you escaped? ” “ At night, from the pen.
nyp.33433076094618	They will not find us unprepared. ” “ Who is Graf von Stromberg? ” asked Rowland, sud- denly recalling the name in Khodkine ’s dossier.
nyp.33433076094618	To such a man — it was a thing apart, a trifle, an incident upon the highway of his life and yet — what if she could find it — use it?
nyp.33433076094618	Ver- stehen sie? ” t “ Zu befehl, ” muttered the other.
nyp.33433076094618	Was Hochwald playing some deep game of his own in defiance of the dangerous Prussian?
nyp.33433076094618	Was he equal to such an emergency?
nyp.33433076094618	Was he equal to such an emergency?
nyp.33433076094618	Was it daylight outside?
nyp.33433076094618	Was it only five minutes or was it an hour ago?
nyp.33433076094618	Was there something between them, some threat of Russian for Russian, born of politics or intrigue in which Khodkine played the master hand?
nyp.33433076094618	Was this smiling American less stupid than he looked?
nyp.33433076094618	Was this the reason for the wall?
nyp.33433076094618	Was this understood?

nyp.33433076094618	We have come to relieve you of our prisoners. ” “ Bitte? ” said Hoffmeier.
nyp.33433076094618	We lost them. ” “ You have heard of Herr Berghof since that time? ” Herr Yaeger paused and looked steadily at Hochwald.
nyp.33433076094618	We must get off there — by the opposite door and run for it. ” “ Are you up to it, Zoya?
nyp.33433076094618	We saw Herr Hochwald enter the house and 35 “ At what time was this? ” “ About three o’clock.
nyp.33433076094618	Were there servants to perform that service? ” 179 THE GOLDEN BOUGH “ Yes. ” “ Fräulein Korasov had the money in that suit- case.
nyp.33433076094618	Were they stuffed men — images?
nyp.33433076094618	What becomes of your immortality then, holy Father? ”- She heard the priest laugh to himself — that laugh!
nyp.33433076094618	What can have hap- pened? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076094618	What can he do?
nyp.33433076094618	What could he do?
nyp.33433076094618	What did it por- tend?
nyp.33433076094618	What does it matter?
nyp.33433076094618	What does this flight into Germany mean?
nyp.33433076094618	What had awakened him?
nyp.33433076094618	What is his name? ” Herr Berghof now seemed truly alarmed and for a moment refused to reply.
nyp.33433076094618	What is it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	What more could one ask of friendship than that? ” Rowland laughed.
nyp.33433076094618	What should I know about the money? ’ ” “ Herr Hochwald stood a moment, his face working, trying to compose himself.
nyp.33433076094618	What should anyone do in here? ” The other voice came nearer at the window- opening itself — a young voice, sharp, peremptory.
nyp.33433076094618	What sort of a house was this and who was the occu- pant of the disordered couch?
nyp.33433076094618	What the deuce had happened to her after Rowland ’s sudden exit from the stage she had set for him?
nyp.33433076094618	What the significance of this sudden and strange hostility?
nyp.33433076094618	What time was it?
nyp.33433076094618	What time was it?
nyp.33433076094618	What was IT?
nyp.33433076094618	What was happening?
nyp.33433076094618	What was her nationality?
nyp.33433076094618	What was she going to do?
nyp.33433076094618	What was the game?
nyp.33433076094618	What was the meaning of this extraor- dinary consideration?
nyp.33433076094618	What was the meaning of this extraordinary conversation?
nyp.33433076094618	What was the use?
nyp.33433076094618	What would have been the use of opposing him in this when he could confirm the message at the next town they came to?
nyp.33433076094618	What? ” Rowland slowly got to his feet and stood, his hand in warning on the arm of Madame Rochal, waiting until the man should descend.
nyp.33433076094618	When Markov returns he will help you to freedom and I 22 “ You would desert me, mon brave? ” she said softly, one hand upon his arm.
nyp.33433076094618	Where did the German in Liederman end, where the Socialist begin?
nyp.33433076094618	Where do you live? ” “ In Kempten. ” “ Where do you go now? ” Rowland laughed.

nyp.33433076094618	Where is she?
nyp.33433076094618	Where is the entrance to the vault? ” “ An iron door near the wall beyond the mound.
nyp.33433076094618	Where shall you take it? ” Zoya asked.
nyp.33433076094618	Where was it sent? ” 99 316 THE GOLDEN BOUGH".
nyp.33433076094618	Where was the defiance he had heard so brave upon their lips today?
nyp.33433076094618	Who are you? ” she said.
nyp.33433076094618	Who but Hochwald?
nyp.33433076094618	Who sent you hither? ” “ Why, no one, Monsieur, ” said the American, easily, with a smile which concealed his growing curiosity.
nyp.33433076094618	Who told him that my name was Hochwald?
nyp.33433076094618	Who was he?
nyp.33433076094618	Who was this visitor, and what his mission, what his power, what his authority?
nyp.33433076094618	Who was to have prevented him?
nyp.33433076094618	Whose idea was this?
nyp.33433076094618	Whose money was this?
nyp.33433076094618	Why did you stop to let them attack you? ” “ They stood in the middle of the road and the car slowed down.
nyp.33433076094618	Why had he suddenly fled?
nyp.33433076094618	Why not Monsieur Rowland's? ” “ But — ” 68 ZOYA She shrugged and turned to Shestov who was speaking.
nyp.33433076094618	Why should I?
nyp.33433076094618	Why should you be?
nyp.33433076094618	Why?
nyp.33433076094618	Why?
nyp.33433076094618	Why?
nyp.33433076094618	Will they not intern you? ” “ I must find civilian clothing. ” “ And then? ” He laughed joyously.
nyp.33433076094618	Will they not intern you? ” “ I must find civilian clothing. ” “ And then? ” He laughed joyously.
nyp.33433076094618	Will you deny it? ” Tanya had listened in silence, amazed at the fervor of his denunciation and at his plausibility.
nyp.33433076094618	Will you go with me? ” “ Suppose you fail? ” He smiled grimly.
nyp.33433076094618	Will you go with me? ” “ Suppose you fail? ” He smiled grimly.

nyp.33433076094618	Will you not ask me to sit down?
nyp.33433076094618	With Khodkine?
nyp.33433076094618	With luck I should succeed in something over an hour. ” “ And the money?
nyp.33433076094618	Would he follow her into Germany?
nyp.33433076094618	Would he not have broken IT at once?
nyp.33433076094618	Would he reach Nemi in safety and if so would he be in time to save Monsieur Rowland from a frightful death?
nyp.33433076094618	Would you have me less noble than he? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	Would you like to count them, Herr Hoch- Wald? ” There was no reply and Rowland put the packages in the bag again.
nyp.33433076094618	Wounded?
nyp.33433076094618	You are Herr Benz? ” “ Yes, ” replied the other.
nyp.33433076094618	You are bound for Weingarten, Father, or beyond? ” “ Beyond, ” replied the quiet voice.
nyp.33433076094618	You are safe? ” Tanya was murmuring.
nyp.33433076094618	You can see the water shimmering through the trees. ” “ Let ’s go then 39 “ You ’re not too tired? ” “ No.

nyp.33433076094618	You must descend. ”- “ Where is the guard? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	You promise? ” “ Herr Markov and the Fräulein shall meet with no harm.
nyp.33433076094618	You see how the wind blows? ” And then, with a smile, “ Zoya Rochal! ” Madame Rochal approached and her eyes and Row- land's met.
nyp.33433076094618	You see — of the poorer class. ” “ Who keeps it? ” “ Frau Nisko, Herr Lieutnant.
nyp.33433076094618	You shall see — Will you kiss me, Zoya? ” She made a little moie at him and then obeyed with the deftness of one skilled in illusions.
nyp.33433076094618	You told Herr Berghof that and when you re- turned you gave her the ticket? ” asked Rowland ex- citedly.
nyp.33433076094618	You un- derstand? ” He caught her fingers and pressed them to his lips.
nyp.33433076094618	You warn me against her? ” “ If you love freedom.
nyp.33433076094618	You were- You heard?
nyp.33433076094618	You will forgive my wagging tongue? ” “ It is my mission in life to grant forgiveness, ” said the other voice solemnly.
nyp.33433076094618	You will give it me, will you not? ” She was clever.
nyp.33433076094618	You will meet them? ”- “ Have I not told you that I will do what I can?
nyp.33433076094618	You will meet them? ”- “ Have I not told you that I will do what I can?
nyp.33433076094618	You will read them tonight, Monsieur? ” “ Willingly.
nyp.33433076094618	Your mother was Italian? ” he asked.

nyp.33433076094618	px?
nyp.33433076094618	“ A slave? ” he replied.
nyp.33433076094618	“ A slave? ” she said.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Ah, yes — to the monastery at Rothenbach, perhaps?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Ah, you know — —? ” He grinned.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Am I to be deserted, flaunted, cast aside into the gutter for my enemy to step upon?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Am I?
nyp.33433076094618	“ An impasse, ” he smiled, “ what are you going to do about it? ” Khodkine shrugged.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And I am free? ” “ As the air.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And Von Stromberg —? ” “ No one knows — he has not been seen. ” ” she whispered.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And the money? ” she asked suddenly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And the others, what shall you say to them? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And what becomes of me? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And what is going on about me? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And what were you going to do with the money? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And why not in Germany, my friends?
nyp.33433076094618	“ And why not?
nyp.33433076094618	“ And you know what that meant? ” “ Zoya Rochal. ”- “ Exactly!
nyp.33433076094618	“ And you ’ll wake me? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ And you, Philippe? ” she asked quietly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Are n’t your mission and mine the same, after all?
nyp.33433076094618	“ At what time did you see Herr Hochwald again? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ But how could he have redeemed the bag without the ticket in Drelich ’s pocket? ” “ He could n’t.
nyp.33433076094618	“ But how do you know all this? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ But you ca n’t blame me. ”- “ Do you know what is in that vault, Philippe Rowlan ’? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Calls?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Can it be that you will trust me? ” “ Implicitly. ” Khodkine ’s pale eyes glowed with purpose.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Can it be true that after all my admiration for you, my aid in your cause, my faith, my devotion, you will turn against me?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Can you follow? ” “ Try me, ” she said bravely.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Can you not imagine?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Can you sail a boat, Zoya? ” he asked of her.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Dead!—but how?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Did I not tell you so?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Did he carry it upstairs? ” The terror in the man ’s eyes was pitiful and the trembling began anew but Rowland was merciless.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Did you ever know me to make a boast that I could n’t fulfill? ” Then in a hoarse whisper.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Did you not know that you were already fifteen kilometers within the Swiss bor- der? ” “ Switzerland?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Did you not know that you were already fifteen kilometers within the Swiss bor- der? ” “ Switzerland?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Do n’t you smell something? ” she whispered when they reached the passage.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Do you give it up, you blighter? ” he gasped in Eng- lish, at last, relapsing into the argot of his platoon of the Legion.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Do you think that Herr Rowland could have failed? ” He shrugged.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Does that explain any facts — or help you to under- stand? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Drelich? ’ said Berghof sullenly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Except for one or two articles of apparel — yes. ” “ Then where did the other bag come from? ” asked Row- land suddenly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Fear? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ For the resolution?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Forgive — what for?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Fräulein Korasov is here, but the money 93 “ He has removed it? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Gone — got the best of me 39 “ With the money?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Have I not already given it to you, Zoya?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Have I not avoided you? ” “ We shall do better alone.
nyp.33433076094618	“ He asked if I had told you anything, given you any- thing? ” 64 KHODKINE Rowland nodded.
nyp.33433076094618	“ He ’s dead? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Here? ” “ Here — everywhere.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Herr Benz, we are going to the meeting of the Cen- tral Committee in Munich. ” “ Tonight?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Herr Förster found nothing? ” asked Zoya Rochal.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Herr Hochwald ’s testimony in regard to the porter Drelich is correct? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Herr Rowland has gone? ” The woman was somewhat shaken by the events of the evening and more than surprised at Madame Rochal ’s appearance.
nyp.33433076094618	“ How do you vote, Herr Fenner? ” asked Von Strom- berg with a leer.
nyp.33433076094618	“ How do you vote? ” thundered Won Stromberg.
nyp.33433076094618	“ How far have we gone? ” “ Not two miles, ” grumbled Khodkine.
nyp.33433076094618	“ How should I know?
nyp.33433076094618	“ How was the money taken from this room? ” “ I do not know.
nyp.33433076094618	“ I am — what, Tatyana? ” he asked keenly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ I do look rather black now, do n't I?
nyp.33433076094618	“ I had not seen him for years. ” “ Well, and if — I believe you?
nyp.33433076094618	“ I may be an hour. ” “ Really?
nyp.33433076094618	“ I think I could die happy if I tickled his nose. ” And then, “ How did you know I was there? ” “ I did n’t until I saw you.
nyp.33433076094618	“ I — I’ve been placed in a false light — I would like — ” “ How, Monsieur? ” she said indifferently.
nyp.33433076094618	“ I ’m going to break into the vault. ” “ You are prepared? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ I ’ve got other business. ” What mattered the millions of Nemi if he could n’t find Tanya?
nyp.33433076094618	“ In Germany I have no other. ” “ Must I then use it here? ” “ It would perhaps be better, when you speak in Ger- man, ” he muttered.
nyp.33433076094618	“ In here?
nyp.33433076094618	“ International Prussianism p?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Is he on duty now? ” 180 A SCENT “ No. ” “ Can you find him? ” “ No. ” “ You shall try.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Is he on duty now? ” 180 A SCENT “ No. ” “ Can you find him? ” “ No. ” “ You shall try.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Is he —? ” “ Thank God — no, ” said Rowland, coolly, putting Herr Förster's automatic into his own pocket.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Is it not enough to try and drive rapidly without these distractions behind me?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Is this an inquisition? ” he cried.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Is this the freedom you would give to Germany?
nyp.33433076094618	“ It is indeed a far cry from the “ white lights ’ of Broadway to the Priesthood of Nemi 35 “ Ah, you know New York? ” asked Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	“ It is the name perhaps you use in your dual rôle? ” “ Yes, ” he replied shortly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Let him have it — “ Hochwald p ” “ He either — Senf, Liederman, Fenner, Weiss — were taken away 33 “ Benz? ” “ I do n’t know.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Like a millstone around my neck. ” “ You have it still — here? ” “ Well, rather.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Madame Rochal — will you tell the Committee your judgment as to Herr Rowland? ” Her fine teeth showed in the most ingenuous of smiles.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Magnetic, startling — but beautiful —?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Money is not made so easily nowadays. ” “ Fräulein Korasov gave you money? ” asked Rowland eagerly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Money?
nyp.33433076094618	“ My name? ” the tall man said at last—“I am called Markov.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Near?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Nothing, except not to play with fire. ” “ You ’ve planned something? ” “ Yes, ” he growled.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Of what? ” “ I forgot that you are a soldier.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Over the roofs?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Perhaps that may be tomorrow? ” she returned gaily.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Philippe, ” she murmured, “ you are sure that you are getting well?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Picard?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Quite positive. ” “ That is curious. ” “ Why? ” “ Because in Munich one smokes a pipe or a cigar.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Shall I bring you more? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Shall I leave you, Monsieur? ” asked Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	“ She is awake? ” Herr Markov asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ So it was there he slept?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Some one has been here before us? ” questioned Zoya.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Somebody's given our show away. ” “ Will they catch us? ” “ I hope not.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Sorry?
nyp.33433076094618	“ The money?
nyp.33433076094618	“ The other one? ” “ The one in which the money was removed? ” “ I — I do n’t understand. ” “ Follow me closely, Herr Berghof.
nyp.33433076094618	“ The other one? ” “ The one in which the money was removed? ” “ I — I do n’t understand. ” “ Follow me closely, Herr Berghof.
nyp.33433076094618	“ The plan? ” she questioned.
nyp.33433076094618	“ The responsibility weighs upon me. ” “ The responsibility to whom, Gregory Khodkine? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ The servants were questioned? ” demanded Senf.
nyp.33433076094618	“ The sol- diers at the front of the house have been withdrawn. ” “ Who told you this? ” asked Rowland quickly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ The suit- case?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Them, Madame Rochal? ” he questioned soberly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ To help the cause of Free Institutions in Europe?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Today? ” he urged.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Together?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Was it not that phrase which so profoundly affected Monsieur Ivanitch? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ We must go on. ” “ Tonight? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Well, what are you going to do about it? ” he asked in a moment, in French.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What are you doing here?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What are you doing here? ” She seemed unable to reply.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What are you going to do with me? ” asked Khodkine, moving slightly toward the shelf behind him.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What assurance can you give me that her intentions were honest? ” asked Liederman.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What becomes of our agreements with them? ” He shut his jaws grimly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What did he do with the black bag he brought? ” “ I — I do n’t know. ” Rowland ’s eyes sparkled.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What did you go and do that for?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What do you mean, Mademoiselle? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What do you talk about in English, you two? ” he roared, his face as black as the weather he apostrophized.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What do you want me to do? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What does it matter, Monsieur, ” she said coldly, “ whether I forgive or not?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What does this mean? ” The Elsa was now rushing in headlong.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What else?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What harm can I do?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What has happened? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What have you done to make me believe in you?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What is his name? ” thundered Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What is it, Philippe? ” she asked anxiously.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What is it, Stepan? ” asked the girl.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What is this house? ”- “ A lodging house, Herr Lieutnant.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What is your name, Monsieur? ” “ Phil Rowland. ”- “ Rowlan ’? ” He puzzled over the pronunciation slow- ly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What is your name, Monsieur? ” “ Phil Rowland. ”- “ Rowlan ’? ” He puzzled over the pronunciation slow- ly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What might we accomplish? ” Khodkine's pale eyes examined Rowland narrowly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What shall you tell them? ” he asked, after a moment.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What the devil do you do up there? ” Another voice replied, and then questioned, for he heard Markov ’s reply.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What trouble? ” “ Merely that I might feel compelled to call a revolu- tion, ” said Rowland pleasantly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What would you have?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What would you?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What ’s this mystery? ” Tanya put her fingers to her brows a moment.
nyp.33433076094618	“ What, Excellency? ” “ Death!
nyp.33433076094618	“ What? ” “ I ’m going to take no further chances with this sit- uation. ” “ Are you serious? ” “ Am I ever anything else?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What? ” “ I ’m going to take no further chances with this sit- uation. ” “ Are you serious? ” “ Am I ever anything else?
nyp.33433076094618	“ What? ” “ I ’m going to take no further chances with this sit- uation. ” “ Are you serious? ” “ Am I ever anything else?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Whatever happens, ” she whispered, “ for better or for worse! ” “ You love me —? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433076094618	“ When did this happen? ” he questioned eagerly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Where are you going to put this money if you recover it? ” she questioned.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Where are you going —? ” “ Away from here — from the sight of you “ You heard? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Where are you going —? ” “ Away from here — from the sight of you “ You heard? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Where is Kirylo Ivanitch? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Where is this money, Herr Förster? ” he asked coolly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who else? ” said Markov quietly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who gave you this, Monsieur? ” she asked excitedly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who is this Herr Markov who occupies this room?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who is to stay here with me? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who told you of my title? ” He stared at her blankly and then her meaning came to him.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who told you? ” “ Fräulein Korasov. ” “ And how did she learn this? ” “ From Kirylo Ivanitch. ” “ The devil!
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who told you? ” “ Fräulein Korasov. ” “ And how did she learn this? ” “ From Kirylo Ivanitch. ” “ The devil!
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who were those men who attacked you? ” “ How should I know, ” replied Hochwald.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Who wouldn't — in a righteous cause? ” She caught his arm again to emphasize the importance of her words.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Why do you ask, Herr Rowland? ” questioned Lieder- man quickly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Why not, mon Philippe? ” she laughed.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Why should I not be honest with you?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Why?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Why?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Will you let me solve these problems in my own way?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Will you not let this man look and see if he can dis- cover my property? ” he asked more quietly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Will you speak or will you not?
nyp.33433076094618	“ Will you tell me at least that you are no longer angry with me? ” “ No.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Would you like a new hat? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You are a soldier, a Frenchman? ” “ A soldier ” He hesitated, looking down at his tat- tered sleeve.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You are better, Madame? ” she inquired.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You are quite sure that it was a Turkish cigarette? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You are wounded? ” he whispered.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ask me where she is?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You do not flatter me, mon viewar. ” “ Is this a time for flattery, Zoya?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You do not know? ” “ Obviously, or I should not be asking. ” She paused a moment, looking away from him.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You forgive me? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You found nothing? ” asked Tanya.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You have fed him? ” “ Yes, Kirylo.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You have known from — from the beginning? ” mut- tered Ivanitch.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You have the suit- case here? ’ ” “ Fräulein Korasov looked a little bewildered.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You know the name? ” A ND while he stood, still bewildered by the awed tone 40 TANYA “ Wisconti, yes.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You may not always be pleasant, but you always have the courage of conviction. ” “ And what thanks do I get? ” he growled.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You mean it? ” “ I do.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You mean that there are still those in power who are in sympathy with Germany? ” asked Rowland.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You refuse to obey my command? ” asked the Gen- eral.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You saw?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You saw?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You saw? ” she asked in a whisper.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You say that this Herr Förster has questioned the servants of the hotel? ” Herr Berghof hesitated a moment.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You say the suit- case was empty? ” repeated Rowland sternly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You see?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You still disbelieve?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You suspected — you had heard that I was acting in the interests of Prussia?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You think her beautiful? ” the girl asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You wanted to see me? ” asked the Lieutnant with brisk politeness.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You were a slave, were you not — a slave to the Germans?
nyp.33433076094618	“ You were careful? ” she asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You will speak? ” Her voice had sunk to a murmur and Rowland could not distinctly hear but he felt suddenly very ill. She was telling.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You wish me to go, Mademoiselle? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You would know the bag if you saw it? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You — are the morning. ” “ Did you sleep well? ” “ Like the dead.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You — you knew? ” he asked.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You — you’re hurt, Monsieur? ” she gasped.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ’re a Frenchman, Monsieur? ” “ No, Mademoiselle, an American. ” “ American!
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ’re just a girl, are n’t you? ” She laughed again.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ’re not hurt? ” she whispered in a lull of the storm.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ’ve found it? ” Zoya asked in a low voice in English.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ’ve got enough? ” A groan from the man beneath was the only reply.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You ’ve heard? ” “ I read it — there, ” pointing to the pedestal.
nyp.33433076094618	“ You, Grisha Khodkine? ” she said significantly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Your name please? ” asked the older man, “ With pleasure, ” politely, “ Leo Knaus. ” “ You are of the railroad? ” “ Assuredly.
nyp.33433076094618	“ Your name please? ” asked the older man, “ With pleasure, ” politely, “ Leo Knaus. ” “ You are of the railroad? ” “ Assuredly.

uc1.32106001930137	“ Are all your waiters here? ” demanded the colonel, in his low, harsh accent.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Are you a devil? ” “ I am a man,"answered Father Brown gravely;"and therefore have all devils in my heart.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Began to suspect me? ” repeated the outlaw with increased intensity.
uc1.32106001930137	“ But I'm afraid I ca n't have my policeman's uniform?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Did he run down and drown himself? ” he asked.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Did they upset your apples?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Did they upset your apples?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Did you ever study medicine? ” he asked.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do n't you see it is the wrong shape?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do n't you think,"observed Angus, absently, “ that it's rather cruel to eat these halfpenny buns?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do they get such ideas from Satan?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do you mean to say, Barnes,"came the sharp voice of the cobbler,"that the hammer jumped up of itself and knocked the man down? ”.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do you play this delicate joke on your cus- tomers every morning? ” inquired Valentin.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do you really think that is the truth? ”.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Do you remember whom Dante put in the last circle of ice? ” “ The traitors, ” said Flambeau, and shuddered.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Does changing the salt and sugar never pall on you as a jest?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Does one want to own soot? ” he asked.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Father,"said Flambeau in that infantile and heavy voice he used very seldom, “ what are we to do?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Father- father,"cried Flambeau with the French gesture and stepping yet more rapidly for- ward, “ do you mean it was worse than that?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Fear man? ” he said.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Flambeau,"he said, “ SO you're not killed? ” “ Killed! ” repeated the angler in great aston- ishment.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Foul play! ” he cried; “ what have you been doing to him, you dog?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ From me?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Has Miss Hope seen that thing on the window? ” “ On the window? ” repeated the staring Angus.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Has Miss Hope seen that thing on the window? ” “ On the window? ” repeated the staring Angus.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Has it never struck you that a man who does next to nothing but hear men's real sins is not likely to be wholly unaware of human evil?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Have we got to the dull truth at last? ”.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Have you any thought,"resumed Valentin, “ of a tool with which it could be done? ”.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Have you got the money? ” he cried to the first policeman.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Have you seen anyone pass?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ He was? ” called Fischer inquiringly.
uc1.32106001930137	“ How can you say such things? ” she remon- strated.
uc1.32106001930137	“ How in Tartarus, ” cried Flambeau, “ did you ever hear of the spiked bracelet?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ How should I know?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Is Brayne a monomaniac? ” “ There are American vendettas,"said the priest impassively.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Is Colonel Bohun dead? ” said the smith quite calmly.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Is that all?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Is this an accusation? ” asked Kalon very quietly.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Know the waiter? ” answered Mr. Audley in- dignantly.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Might be the map of the world, might n't it? ” said Father Brown.
uc1.32106001930137	“ No head? ” as if he had almost expected some other deficiency.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Norman,"said the cleric, with his eye on a pebble in the road,"are you ever afraid of thunder- bolts?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Now, why on earth, ” he muttered, “ why on earth could n't he have come before? ”.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Oh, you ca n't have gone so very wrong yet! ” “ How in blazes do you know all these horrors? ” cried Flambeau.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Our cue at last,"cried Valentin, waving his stick; “ the place with the broken window. ” “ What window?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Please forgive me, colonel, but when did your wife die? ” “ Wife! ” replied the staring soldier, “ she died this year two months.
uc1.32106001930137	“ See Mr. Quinton? ” said the doctor coolly.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Shall we move this poor chap, do you think?
uc1.32106001930137	“ That trick of yours,'he says,'of getting one detective to arrest the other?'
uc1.32106001930137	“ Then I wonder what that is?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Valuable things to deposit in a cloak room, are n't they?
uc1.32106001930137	“ We've found out who he is, any- how. ” “ Indeed! ” cried the astonished doctor, “ and who is he?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Well, sir,"began the former, with smiling im- portance, “ and what may-? ”.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Well, why did n't the man cry out or any- thing?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ Well,"asked Flambeau;"are you going to tell me anything about it?
uc1.32106001930137	“ What Hindoo? ” asked Father Brown, still staring at the dagger in his hand.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What are we to do with Simeon Barnes?
uc1.32106001930137	“ What did he tell you? ” “ I beg your pardon,"said the priest immovably, “ that is where the story ends."
uc1.32106001930137	“ What did you do to him? ” cried the colonel, with unusual intensity.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What do you mean?
uc1.32106001930137	“ What do you mean? ” asked Valentin.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What do you mean? ” asked the colonel.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What do you mean? ” demanded the London officer.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What do you want with me?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ What is the matter with that? ” “ Nothing, ” said Lever, with a deepening accept, “ only you did not.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What is this? ” asked Father Brown, regarding it with some disfavour.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What on earth are you doing?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ What on earth is that?"
uc1.32106001930137	“ What on earth was he doing? ” asked Flam- beau, knitting his black brows and lowering his voice.
uc1.32106001930137	“ What sort of queer thing do you mean? ” asked the inspector.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Where have you heard of it? ” “ Well, I must n't tell you his name, of course, ” THE INNOCENCE OF FATHER BROWN said the little man simply.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Which crime? ” asked Father Brown.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Which way did these parsons go? ” asked Valentin.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Which way did these parsons go? ” asked Valentin.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Who are you, you cursed spy, to weave your spiders'webs round me, and peep and peer?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Who is that? ” cried Father Brown, stepping back with a hissing intake of his breath.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Who is this fellow?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Why are you unmedical fellows always talk- ing bosh about hypnotism? ” cried the doctor.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Why is he so wild? ” “ He is harlequin to your columbine, ” said Crook.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Why must there be somebody near her? ” asked Angus.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Why not? ” inquired Dr. Simon, with a rational stare.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Why should you shield the fellow?
uc1.32106001930137	“ Why, what proof is there that this has anything to do with them? ” Valentin almost broke his bamboo stick with rage.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Will you do me a favour? ” said the priest quietly.
uc1.32106001930137	“ Will you go and tell her now, while I send a serv- ant for the police? ”"As you will, ” said Father Brown indifferently.
uc1.32106001930137	“ You do n't believe in magic? ” asked Father Brown, without looking up.
uc1.32106001930137	“ You have heard of it? ” he asked.
uc1.32106001930137	“ You have sent for the police, have n't you? ” he asked.
uc1.32106001930137	“ You old fool! ” she said, in a low voice with- out pretence of piety, “ what do you suppose you are trying to prove?
uc1.32106001930137	“ You say- you say, ” he stammered,"that you see all my fifteen waiters? ” “ As usual,"assented the duke.
uc1.32106001930137	“ You see him?
uc1.32106001930137	“ You're pretty sure, I suppose,"remarked the young man, “ that he really did kill his master?

osu.32435083471896	Ai n't this a queer place, sir?
osu.32435083471896	And in the meantime, will you go nowhere alone, and watch everywhere for dan- ger, and be careful — very careful? ” “ I will, ” I declared.
osu.32435083471896	And then?
osu.32435083471896	And warned of what?
osu.32435083471896	And why? ” “ Just a point of view, ” I retorted briefly.
osu.32435083471896	And without asking, whither hurried hence?
osu.32435083471896	And yet, an insinuating whisper persisted in demanding, would she?
osu.32435083471896	Any house you ’ve noticed as being different, in any way whatever, from the other houses?
osu.32435083471896	Anything wrong? ” “ I should say there was, ” I snapped, feeling gingerly at my collar- bone.
osu.32435083471896	Apart from that, and from your kidnapping, have you anything to complain of on the part of these people? ” She shook her head.
osu.32435083471896	Behind one of those windows, was Lorraine Ivison listening, hoping?
osu.32435083471896	But why should I be warned?
osu.32435083471896	But you never can tell. ” My feeling toward him, whatever his iden- 234 THREE BLACK BAGS “ She did? ” I gasped.
osu.32435083471896	But — a madman, a man un- nerved to the point of suicide?
osu.32435083471896	But — conspiring what?
osu.32435083471896	By the way, where are the medals?
osu.32435083471896	Ca n't you let me off? ” She smiled faintly, but she persisted.
osu.32435083471896	Ca n’t you see my bars? ” The young sergeant was unabashed.
osu.32435083471896	Can you beat that?
osu.32435083471896	Come, not falling down on the last lap, are you?
osu.32435083471896	Could I speak to the colo- nel? ” it inquired in punctilious form.
osu.32435083471896	Could n’t she, though?
osu.32435083471896	Could one of you have left his place and killed this man without rousing the rest of you? ” “ I ’d say no, ” I rejoined decisively.
osu.32435083471896	Could the colonel tell me how he looked? ” “ I do n’t know, ” I admitted, trying to recon- struct an image of the man who had trailed me.
osu.32435083471896	Could you see me through? ” “ Oh, come in, ” I responded irritably.
osu.32435083471896	D ’ you realize they ’ve got her — got Lorraine?
osu.32435083471896	D'you think you ’re fit to die, at present? ” “ But — ” he gasped.
osu.32435083471896	Did Harris see the doom written on the wall?
osu.32435083471896	Did I go A. W. O. L. three separate times and just dodge a court martial, to talk to her five minutes?
osu.32435083471896	Did I spend the one lone leave I ever got in a little French town of a thousand souls, because she 78 THREE BLACK BAGS was working there?
osu.32435083471896	Did he know the M. P.'s were after him — and had he a confederate whom he trusted to get the bag away from me before I opened it?
osu.32435083471896	Did n't you? ” “ At dinner? ” I repeated blankly, marshal- ing my souvenirs of that meal.
osu.32435083471896	Did n't you? ” “ At dinner? ” I repeated blankly, marshal- ing my souvenirs of that meal.
osu.32435083471896	Did they want the picture enough to fight for it?
osu.32435083471896	Did you know the man? ” ‘ Nearly two hours ago, ” she declared re- sentfully.
osu.32435083471896	Do n't you know that I might have put a bullet through you?
osu.32435083471896	Do n’t you know they ’re after you?
osu.32435083471896	Do they do it to be funny, or does it really strike them that way? ” The major chuckled sympathetically.
osu.32435083471896	Do you See this fellow? ” Together, in the light of the torch we ex- amined Harris.
osu.32435083471896	Do you comprehend? ” “ Not quite. ” My laconic answers seemed to please him.
osu.32435083471896	Do you think you could get by? ” It seemed doubtful.
osu.32435083471896	Do you want to speak to me? ” he added, with a hint of impatience, as, having let the others file into the corridor, I shut the door.
osu.32435083471896	Does that sound right? ” 316 THREE BLACK BAGS yes, I ’ll manage it — you take this fellow where he'll be safe.
osu.32435083471896	Eh? ” Sighing noiselessly, I relaxed a little.
osu.32435083471896	Ever think of it? ” “ Never mind that. ” “ The things I did took money, ” he mut- tered.
osu.32435083471896	Get the notion?
osu.32435083471896	Good heavens — what had happened?
osu.32435083471896	Got that straight, have you? ” The boy cleared his throat.
osu.32435083471896	Had Bellinger detected the manoeuver, and had he murdered Bellinger to escape retribu- THREE BLACK BAGS 135 tion?
osu.32435083471896	Had I become a klepto- maniac?
osu.32435083471896	Had I seen, or had I dreamed, a quick, furtive movement of the boy's fingers, as if he were enveloping some- thing in the scarf before giving it back?
osu.32435083471896	Had he gone insane?
osu.32435083471896	Had he stolen into my room at the hotel to make another effort?
osu.32435083471896	Had his nerve broken?
osu.32435083471896	Had she passed this way?
osu.32435083471896	Had that prophecy been mere raving?
osu.32435083471896	Had the conflict around us drowned the echo of the fighting elsewhere?
osu.32435083471896	Had the part of Coblenz where we were been immune?
osu.32435083471896	Had the war brought stranger things than this?
osu.32435083471896	Has he not proved it?
osu.32435083471896	Have n’t you turned in yet? ” I demanded, realizing he was still fully dressed.
osu.32435083471896	Have you gone dotty?
osu.32435083471896	Have you noticed anything wrong? ” I had indeed, but as I did n’t mean to alarm her further on my account I shook my head.
osu.32435083471896	He must have been crazy, do n’t you think so, to kill himself in this awful way? ” To kill himself!
osu.32435083471896	He roared: “ What the blue blazes do you want?
osu.32435083471896	Here, get off me, will you? ” Then, suddenly, the drowsy, complaining note merged into a shrill scream, a blood- curdling crescendo of horror.
osu.32435083471896	How about it? ” “ I ’ll be there, ” I assented briefly.
osu.32435083471896	How could they bear such sub- jugation?
osu.32435083471896	How could you tell? ” THREE BLACK BAGS 149 She halted me with a proud little gesture.
osu.32435083471896	How do they do it?
osu.32435083471896	How far might her concern have gone?
osu.32435083471896	How many black bags did the world hold, anyway?
osu.32435083471896	How much interest did she take in him?
osu.32435083471896	How well did she know him?
osu.32435083471896	I came here to tell you to quit taking crazy chances, unless you want to commit suicide — ” “ What? ” I exclaimed.
osu.32435083471896	I knew a fel- low once who went around spouting Omar Khayyam; I remember one thing he said: “ How?
osu.32435083471896	I made no rejoinder; what was the use of it?
osu.32435083471896	I mean, how did any one get at him? ” The captain looked about alertly, reconstructing the late scene.
osu.32435083471896	I say, do you know what my idea of heaven is, after these dances?
osu.32435083471896	I suppose you know, like all the rest of us, that fraternization is an offense?
osu.32435083471896	I ’ll bet you ’ve got it here to- night; and say, what were you doing in that passage? ” A flash of terror crossed his face.
osu.32435083471896	I ’ll show you my creden- tials — ” “ Is your name Leonard? ” I broke in.
osu.32435083471896	I ’m not afraid — you’ll believe that, wo n’t you? — but I think that we ’ve forgotten too quickly.

osu.32435083471896	In that building, was Max von Nordhausen sitting, while his scouts and messengers came and went?
osu.32435083471896	In the days to come, what is there for him among his people?
osu.32435083471896	Is Miss Ivison in there? ” Miss Oliver, filling cups busily, looked back at me with charming pettishness.
osu.32435083471896	Is it always so gay?
osu.32435083471896	Is it real? ” “ Well, I ’m not sure, ” I admitted dubi- ously.
osu.32435083471896	Is it that you go away from us?
osu.32435083471896	Is it too short? ” “ And why? ” challenged Kaspar.

osu.32435083471896	Is n’t that so, you youngsters? ” “ That ’s right, sir, ” Kilbourne agreed with emphasis.
osu.32435083471896	Is she a myth? ” “ She ’s just what Kaspar told you, ” grinned Leonard.
osu.32435083471896	Is she ill? ” “ No.
osu.32435083471896	Is your brain clear again?
osu.32435083471896	It may mean anything — What ’s that driver doing? ” he digressed suddenly.
osu.32435083471896	Jim, you bring this stuff along after us, will you? ” Jim, one of the three M. P.'s on the outskirts, evinced his wil- lingness to comply.

osu.32435083471896	May I ask how long ago this hap- pened?

osu.32435083471896	That night, when the lights were out, had he left his seat to ex- tract the miniature from the bag above me?
osu.32435083471896	That ’s what happens nine times out of ten when the M. P.'s get all excited and go gun- ning — is n’t it, sonny? ” to the boy at his right.
osu.32435083471896	The bag belonged to the man who was arrested in the Gare de l’Est, did n’t it?
osu.32435083471896	The flag draped on the wall had been lifted at one end; a door yawned back of it; and Was I dream- ing?
osu.32435083471896	The flask you wanted was the bag I brought on from Paris, was n’t it? ” I shot out sharply.
osu.32435083471896	The one link that ’s missing is the picture they smuggled out of France; and you ’ve got that, have n’t you?
osu.32435083471896	They were circulating somewhere; why should n’t I meet them?
osu.32435083471896	This last development lets him out, though — proves he knew what he was about. ” “ Then how in heaven ’s name was he killed?
osu.32435083471896	Understand? ” The boy had staggered beneath the impact.
osu.32435083471896	Was I flesh and blood, he was asking fear- fully?
osu.32435083471896	Was it even half?
osu.32435083471896	Was it really suicide; and was a man necessarily insane now- adays because he predicted trouble?
osu.32435083471896	We brought a dead man in 95 “ Who killed him?
osu.32435083471896	We ’re in your country, are n’t we?
osu.32435083471896	Well, why do n’t you turn it in?
osu.32435083471896	Were we on the 138 THREE BLACK BAGS brink of a crumbling precipice, all of us?
osu.32435083471896	Whadda you mean? ” “ You do n’t know, eh? ” I countered harshly.
osu.32435083471896	Whadda you mean? ” “ You do n’t know, eh? ” I countered harshly.
osu.32435083471896	What about your record?
osu.32435083471896	What connection could he have with these strangers?
osu.32435083471896	What d ’ you think of Treves? ” Miss Ivison turned from Jerry.
osu.32435083471896	What did I care?
osu.32435083471896	What did I want?
osu.32435083471896	What did they know, in their intact country, of the woes and horrors that they had caused?
osu.32435083471896	What did you want? ” “ Why, it ’s this. ” He pressed closer to the window as if noticing some point of interest.
osu.32435083471896	What do you mean by holding me up like this?
osu.32435083471896	What does she do, then?
osu.32435083471896	What had been the end and aim of this deadly, well- planned business?
osu.32435083471896	What in their serene complacency suggested remorse or retribution?
osu.32435083471896	What is it you wish to do? ” My errand, as I revealed it to him, was suf- ficiently prosaic.
osu.32435083471896	What is it, sir?
osu.32435083471896	What more did they want of us?
osu.32435083471896	What on earth did this prologue indicate?
osu.32435083471896	What on earth was there about this harmless receptacle to inspire such horror?
osu.32435083471896	What was it, precisely, that had just hap- pened in the box above McCloud?
osu.32435083471896	What was their plot?
osu.32435083471896	What was there to say?
osu.32435083471896	What was this message they had moved heaven and earth to get into their pos- session?
osu.32435083471896	What would be his first move?
osu.32435083471896	What would the re- 158 THREE BLACK BAGS sult have been?
osu.32435083471896	What would you do? ” The truth seemed brutal, but nevertheless I let him have it.
osu.32435083471896	What ’s the idea, Everett? ” the latter asked, as I sprang aboard.
osu.32435083471896	What ’s wrong? ” “ Well, sir, it ’s this, ” he blurted desperately.
osu.32435083471896	What's he been doing? ” inquired my erstwhile com- rade in arms.
osu.32435083471896	Where are they? ” “ In the room where I shut up those fellows, ” I responded.
osu.32435083471896	Where are you off to, lieutenant? ” He did not wait for McCloud ’s answer.
osu.32435083471896	Where have you concealed them?
osu.32435083471896	Where was Miss Ivison?
osu.32435083471896	Where was she now?
osu.32435083471896	Who could tell?
osu.32435083471896	Who the dickens sent them to me? ” I paused to touch my battered temple with cautious, reminiscent fingers.
osu.32435083471896	Why did n’t you knock? ” The young fellow made a desperate effort to pull himself together.
osu.32435083471896	Why do n’t you go into the movies?
osu.32435083471896	Why should I pick her out to fret over, when she had paid me the shabby compliment of sus- pecting me at the first test?
osu.32435083471896	Why would a fellow be so nervous, if he ’s straight? ” “ Nonsense! ” I exclaimed.
osu.32435083471896	Why? ” “ She had that bag in her possession forty- eight hours, ” I said mechanically.
osu.32435083471896	Will you become German, fight for the emperor? ” The power of speech returned to me sud- denly.
osu.32435083471896	Will you leave my beloved Paris, just when she comes back to life? ” “ Yes, I ’m off, ” I responded.
osu.32435083471896	Will you let me? ” I drew a deep breath and leaned back against the wall.
osu.32435083471896	With almost eighteen hours ahead of us, do you think the Americans ca n’t block any game the Germans want to play?
osu.32435083471896	With my own life and safety I might gamble — but with Lor- raine Ivison ’s?
osu.32435083471896	Without asking, hither hurried whence?
osu.32435083471896	Wo n't you? ” “ I suppose I will, ” I said ruefully, “ if you insist.
osu.32435083471896	Wo n’t you have a cup of nice hot coffee, now you ’ve come? ” she concluded hos- pitably.
osu.32435083471896	Would n’t there have been a subtle difference?
osu.32435083471896	Would we endure it, do you think? ” Her eyes flashed, and the head of every man at the table went up as if at a bugle- call.
osu.32435083471896	Yet was it all?
osu.32435083471896	Yet what could I do?
osu.32435083471896	You 314 THREE BLACK BAGS know this region; can you place a building, within a radius of five blocks or so, that seems in any way suspicious?
osu.32435083471896	You appreciate that quite clearly, do you?
osu.32435083471896	You begin to see? ” “ No.
osu.32435083471896	You got some baggage with you?
osu.32435083471896	You talk of our surrender?
osu.32435083471896	You wait till we get to Treves and set things going! ” “ Who are these Nordhausens? ” I asked.
osu.32435083471896	You want conquered country stuff when you come to Germany — thrills, excite- ment, rebellions, eh?
osu.32435083471896	You young idiot, what ’s yellower than that, if you talk about yellow- ness?
osu.32435083471896	You ’ll tell me later, wo n’t you?
osu.32435083471896	You ’re beaten, are n’t you?
osu.32435083471896	You ’re carrying her picture now. ” “ I ’m carrying what? ” His eyes were shining like a bloodhound's.
osu.32435083471896	You ’ve been through the war, decorated for valor, and you want to leave a name like that behind you? ” His face was hidden against the pillows.
osu.32435083471896	You ’ve gathered, have n’t you, that there ’s something in the wind to- night?
osu.32435083471896	You ’ve got a car?
osu.32435083471896	You? ” inquired Jerry, unabashed by the sad intelligence.
osu.32435083471896	it? ” “ Yes — I’ve seen it, ” I owned, unconvinced.
osu.32435083471896	“ Along what lines? ” “ Oh, I mean the way they ’ve treated us. ” He fairly beamed appreciation.
osu.32435083471896	“ Am I coming? ” I cried.
osu.32435083471896	“ Am I the mistress? ” she asked arrogantly.
osu.32435083471896	“ And THREE BLACK BAGS 81 how about you, colonel — bound for Coblenz? ” “ No, ” I vouchsafed.
osu.32435083471896	“ And the ribbons? ” he accused.
osu.32435083471896	“ And what else? ” she asked sharply.
osu.32435083471896	“ Any- thing else? ” I66 THREE BLACK BAGS “ Yes. ” I was letting my gaze bore into him.
osu.32435083471896	“ Are you ill? ” The startled face she turned upon me was washed of every vestige of color.
osu.32435083471896	“ Begins at midnight?
osu.32435083471896	“ Can you hear me, sergeant? ” I shouted.
osu.32435083471896	“ Colonel Ram- say 25 “ Well? ” “ I think there ’s something in the wind. ” His voice had sunk to the merest whisper.
osu.32435083471896	“ Colonel Ram- say? ”.
osu.32435083471896	“ Could some one have opened that door and slipped in without your knowing it? ” “ Anything ’s possible, ” I replied, “ but I doubt it.
osu.32435083471896	“ Court martial?
osu.32435083471896	“ D ’ you think they ’ll find her? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435083471896	“ Did that crack leave you dippy? ” Leonard struck his knee with his fist.
osu.32435083471896	“ Did you Swallow that? ” “ It sounds fishy now, ” he owned apatheti- 274 THREE BLACK BAGS cally.
osu.32435083471896	“ Do I stand for the All- Highest? ” Kaspar leaned forward and touched Max's arm.
osu.32435083471896	“ Do you mean that?
osu.32435083471896	“ Do you mean, ” I queried anxiously, “ that she did n’t come this morning?
osu.32435083471896	“ Does all that scare you?
osu.32435083471896	“ Eh?
osu.32435083471896	“ Has it reached you? ” “ Highness, three hours ago. ” Kaspar's tones shook a little.
osu.32435083471896	“ He was talking pretty wild to you just now, was n’t he? ” he asked.
osu.32435083471896	“ Here ’s a gathering of the clans; is every one leaving us?
osu.32435083471896	“ How about last year at Château- Thierry?
osu.32435083471896	“ How about that Parker fellow? ” “ You ’ve changed your mind, then! ” I sug- gested.
osu.32435083471896	“ How about the plot? ” I demanded.
osu.32435083471896	“ How about this McCloud having done it? ” he demanded suddenly.
osu.32435083471896	“ How about yours? ” “ Mine ’s Leonard, ” said he.
osu.32435083471896	“ How does all that help?
osu.32435083471896	“ I suppose you ’ve heard of the Princess Ilse of Hohenburg? ” “ No, ” I responded, somewhat flippantly.
osu.32435083471896	“ I ’m joining friends. ” “ Pretty soft for you, eh?
osu.32435083471896	“ In fact, a little too nice, is n’t it?
osu.32435083471896	“ Is he ill, Colonel Ramsay? ” My name 50 THREE BLACK BAGS 51 fell from her lips quite naturally.
osu.32435083471896	“ Is he not a soldier, honored among soldiers, born for fighting?
osu.32435083471896	“ Is not all ready?
osu.32435083471896	“ Is that man dead? ” he demanded sharply.
osu.32435083471896	“ Know him by sight? ” Surveying him in some astonishment, I grappled with a hazy memory.
osu.32435083471896	“ Lemme alone, ca n’t you? ” he protested sleepily.
osu.32435083471896	“ Miss Ivison? ” I inquired, thus tactfully avoiding an excursion into the German tongue.
osu.32435083471896	“ Miss Ivison? ” “ Yes, Colonel Ramsay. ” Her voice was still a little breathless, but it was quite clear.
osu.32435083471896	“ Nordallee?
osu.32435083471896	“ Not those peo- ple?
osu.32435083471896	“ Now, old man, what about this train busi- ness? ” inquired Jerry, as we got in.
osu.32435083471896	“ Oh, I know they ’re not like us; but does n’t that make them still more dangerous?
osu.32435083471896	“ Oh, I see — you meant to leave it until some one claimed it?
osu.32435083471896	“ Say, what you think you ’re doing here? ” he demanded truculently.
osu.32435083471896	“ Sleep well? ” I inquired without emphasis, as he paused.
osu.32435083471896	“ So you ’re Captain Henry Parker, are you? ” he inquired in level tones.
osu.32435083471896	“ Some day I shall write the ballad of baggage — where are the bags of yester- year?
osu.32435083471896	“ Some jinks they ’re giving here to- night, are n’t 170 THREE BLACK BAGS they?
osu.32435083471896	“ Still, Colonel Ramsay, will you promise me some- thing? ” Impulsively she came a step closer.
osu.32435083471896	“ Sui- cide? ” he queried.
osu.32435083471896	“ Sure that ’s all? ” THREE BLACK BAGS 25 As the false Parker wrapped himself in dig- nified silence, I came to the rescue.
osu.32435083471896	“ That explains why your knees are knocking together, and your teeth rattling like a lot of castanets, eh?
osu.32435083471896	“ That the best you can think of?
osu.32435083471896	“ That ’s a queer go, is n’t it?
osu.32435083471896	“ The American? ” she asked curtly, in Ger- In 1811.
osu.32435083471896	“ The decorations?
osu.32435083471896	“ The message? ” she was demanding of Kas- par von Nordhausen.
osu.32435083471896	“ The report from Berlin? ” she asked again.
osu.32435083471896	“ They are, are they? ” I inquired with no great enthusiasm.
osu.32435083471896	“ This means something to you, does n’t it?
osu.32435083471896	“ To buy your life, will you give up your country?
osu.32435083471896	“ Was n’t I out of luck enough without having somebody hack himself to pieces on top of me?
osu.32435083471896	“ Well, how about it? ” he demanded.
osu.32435083471896	“ Well, what is it? ” I inquired, without much cordiality of mien.
osu.32435083471896	“ Well, what of it? ” I taunted.
osu.32435083471896	“ Well, what ’s happened? ” a voice de- manded, in businesslike, capable tones.
osu.32435083471896	“ Well? ” I asked.
osu.32435083471896	“ Well? ” I demanded.
osu.32435083471896	“ Well? ” I said.
osu.32435083471896	“ What do you know about the thing? ” The youngster wiped his forehead and wet his lips before replying.
osu.32435083471896	“ What do you want? ” “ I want several things, ” I informed him sharply.
osu.32435083471896	“ What do you want? ” “ My — my flask ’s empty. ” He eyed me im- ploringly.
osu.32435083471896	“ What else’d it be, with five of us cooped up in here?
osu.32435083471896	“ What happened? ” His eyes flashed exultantly.
osu.32435083471896	“ What happened? ” he repeated.
osu.32435083471896	“ What in blazes? ” I began irritably, staring at him through the gloom.
osu.32435083471896	“ What is it, Miss Ivison? ” I exclaimed sharply.
osu.32435083471896	“ What officer? ” I asked.
osu.32435083471896	“ What the devil do you mean, ” I demanded 68 THREE BLACK BAGS angrily, “ by opening my door like a sneak- thief?
osu.32435083471896	“ What the devil ’s wrong? ” I demanded, springing out.
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’ll I do? ” he moaned frantically.
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’re you talking about? ” he croaked defiantly.
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’s all this? ” said I.
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’s the joke, anyhow, sir? ” he gasped, swallowing.
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’s the matter, Everett?
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’s wrong? ” Leonard asked.
osu.32435083471896	“ What ’s your idea? ” said I.
osu.32435083471896	“ Where does she come in on this? ” I won- dered, with a thrill.
osu.32435083471896	“ Where is it now? ” Hang the miniature!
osu.32435083471896	“ Where is it that you are going?
osu.32435083471896	“ Where is she now? ” “ We do n’t know yet, ” he owned reluctantly.
osu.32435083471896	“ Why should he have done that, though?
osu.32435083471896	“ Why? ”- “ For one thing, ” Jerry enlightened me, “ when they searched him they found a pocket- THREE BLACK BAGS I29 knife.
osu.32435083471896	“ Will you have corn- willy sand- wiches, or goldfish?
osu.32435083471896	“ Will you turn over that miniature, the very first thing to- morrow, to whoever ought to have it?
osu.32435083471896	“ Wo n't you please look out, sir?
osu.32435083471896	“ Would you, Colonel Ramsay? ” “ There, young lady! ” Colonel Ferguson addressed his neighbor jovially.
osu.32435083471896	“ Yes? ” I asked, coming closer.
osu.32435083471896	“ Yes? ” “ I ’m afraid you thought that I talked very foolishly at dinner.
osu.32435083471896	“ You coming along to Treves? ” At this prospect of some definite action, the instinct of the chase had seized me.
osu.32435083471896	“ You do n’t think? ” Jerry asked after a minute, in a queer whisper.
osu.32435083471896	“ You feel quite sure, then, ” she asked, “ that 92 THREE BLACK BAGS they wo n’t do anything?
osu.32435083471896	“ You know Miss Ivison, then? ” I inquired lamely.
osu.32435083471896	“ You mean, ” I summed it up, “ that you think some one made away with him to get his papers?
osu.32435083471896	“ You see how it was already, do n’t you?
osu.32435083471896	“ You would let him live? ” The princess turned on him.
uiug.30112004071392	- The innkeeper met me in the hall, to ask whether I should want a vehicle to Paris?
uiug.30112004071392	- “ Does my wife love me? ” asked he, play- fully.
uiug.30112004071392	129 “ Yes; but I fancy we may say something more?
uiug.30112004071392	133 returned — who vanished, before the eyes of half- a- dozen men, all looking at them. ” “ What do you mean, St. Clair?
uiug.30112004071392	17 “ Well, I can, I suppose, have some rooms, any, I do n’t care in what part of the house? ” “ Certainly, Monsieur can have two apart- ments.
uiug.30112004071392	253 “ Keep your secret, and I'll keep mine? ” I had a thousand distracting questions before me.
uiug.30112004071392	53 “ And the lady? ” “ The Countess is, I believe, in every way worthy of so good a man, ” he answered, a little drily.
uiug.30112004071392	Am I loved in return? ” I asked.
uiug.30112004071392	And what are they? ” “ Youth, beauty, and — diamonds. ” I laughed.
uiug.30112004071392	Are you ready to undertake all this for my sake? ” Again I vowed myself her slave.
uiug.30112004071392	But who is quite perfect?
uiug.30112004071392	But, this accomplished, how were we to get on?
uiug.30112004071392	Cautiously, therefore, I inquired, “ What countess? ” “ If you know me, you must know that she is my dearest friend.
uiug.30112004071392	Could he possibly be induced to wait till morning?
uiug.30112004071392	Did some danger threaten?
uiug.30112004071392	Do they quarrel? ” “ Who, he and his wife? ” “ Yes. ” “ A little. ” “ Oh!
uiug.30112004071392	Do they quarrel? ” “ Who, he and his wife? ” “ Yes. ” “ A little. ” “ Oh!
uiug.30112004071392	Good wine here? ” he glanced interrogatively at my bottle.
uiug.30112004071392	Had anything gone suddenly wrong?
uiug.30112004071392	Had he actually gone?
uiug.30112004071392	Had not her husband, for such I assumed him to be, thanked me quite enough, and for both?
uiug.30112004071392	He asked me if I were not Mr. Beckett?
uiug.30112004071392	How on earth was I to dispose of the remainder of the day?
uiug.30112004071392	How shall we recognize one another?
uiug.30112004071392	How was I to answer?
uiug.30112004071392	How was I to dispose of that interval?
uiug.30112004071392	How would this end?
uiug.30112004071392	I can scarcely believe I am mistaken. ” “ With whom were you walking, just now? ” she asked.
uiug.30112004071392	I may sit here for half an hour? ” “ Certainly, Monsieur. ” I was very comfortable, the wine excellent, and my thoughts glowing and serene.

osu.32435018059279	Would n’t you say that those marks were made by the heels of a man's shoe?
osu.32435018059279	Would n’t you? ” 94 THE CRIMSON ALIBI “ On the face of what I now know – yes.

osu.32435018059279	You knew that, did n’t you? ”* Yes. ” “ He could n’t understand me.
osu.32435018059279	You mean the chap who robbed the safe at Fairchild& Com- pany ’s store? ” “ The same.
osu.32435018059279	You mentioned that you saw him when he went upstairs to pack his things — what did he say then: how did he look? ” The little lady flushed.
osu.32435018059279	You see, ” with a sudden Wistfulness in his maner: “ There's a new element in this case. ” “ A new element? ” “ A girl. ” 44 Oh!
osu.32435018059279	You under- Stand — ” “ My uncle's murder? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435018059279	You ’ve heard of him — the famous de- tective? ” Mrs. Darrell ’s eyes opened wide.
osu.32435018059279	You ’ve heard of these so- called perfect crimes, have n't you? ” 44 Yes. ” “ Well, mine was going to be a perfect crime.
osu.32435018059279	and Miss Darrell, I presume? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You may show them in. ” The detective turned back to the now radiant prisoner.
osu.32435018059279	can you imagine what a man in my position must feel like? ” “ I think I can, Fanshaw.
osu.32435018059279	cise? ” “ In a way,+ yes, ” smiled Carroll.
osu.32435018059279	rested? ” “ That does n't worry me, ” she said, with piteous pride.
osu.32435018059279	suppose I run down there and see you in about a half hour? ” “ YOU!"]]

osu.32435018059279	yes – I was talking about that — was n't I?
osu.32435018059279	you understand the condi- tion, sir, do you not? ” “ I believe I do, Dorrington.
osu.32435018059279	“ A good deal. ” “ You ’ve landed your man? ” Fanshaw leaned forward with ill- concealed eagerness.
osu.32435018059279	“ About us. ” “ And that our engagement was — was — broken? ” “ Y- e- S..
osu.32435018059279	“ And even if he was, he had nothing to do with — with — what you think he had. ” “ You are Sure? ” “ Yes, I am sure!
osu.32435018059279	“ And next to it on this side? ” pursued Carroll.
osu.32435018059279	“ And now — What's What? ” “ Tarnation's broken loose in Berkeley City, ” said Hall tersely.
osu.32435018059279	“ And with all of your work done so well, why did you come to me? ” 27 28 THE CRIMSON ALIBI Fanshaw's answer was prompt and unequiv- ocal.
osu.32435018059279	“ And you, Leverage? ” “ I think so, too, Chief.
osu.32435018059279	“ Anny orders, sorr? ” “ No.
osu.32435018059279	“ At any time I can be of service in that way — ” “ You mean it? ” “ Certainly. ” “ I may take advantage of your offer.
osu.32435018059279	“ By the way, ” asked Carroll casually, “ how does he seem to be feeling now?
osu.32435018059279	“ Chief? ” “ Yes. ” “ This is Jim. ” 44 YeS?
osu.32435018059279	“ Chief? ” “ Yes. ” “ This is Jim. ” 44 YeS?
osu.32435018059279	“ Commissioner Hall arrived yet? ” “ Yis sor: ye'll foind him in his office yonder.
osu.32435018059279	“ Did n’t you know that? ” “ Gone.
osu.32435018059279	“ Did you ever see one person SO chockful of Vital information? ” “ Never.
osu.32435018059279	“ Ever read psy- chology? ” “ Yes, ” came the surprised answer.
osu.32435018059279	“ Everything. ” “ About — us? ” JUDITEI DARRELL 81 His cheeks flushed.

osu.32435018059279	“ Got your man? ” “ I think so.
osu.32435018059279	“ Have n't you bought an extra? ” “ NO.
osu.32435018059279	“ Have you? ” “ A little.
osu.32435018059279	“ How about you, Chief? ” “ I'm inclined that way.
osu.32435018059279	“ How did you know that, sir?
osu.32435018059279	“ How goes it, Carroll?
osu.32435018059279	“ How's that dope strike you? ” “ Very sound, ” answered Carroll thoughtfully.
osu.32435018059279	“ I ask because I came to see you about that case. ” “ You are interested in it? ” “ Interested? ” Fanshaw laughed shortly — harshly.
osu.32435018059279	“ I ask because I came to see you about that case. ” “ You are interested in it? ” “ Interested? ” Fanshaw laughed shortly — harshly.
osu.32435018059279	“ I do hope that you are right. ” “ You ’ve told him everything, Andrew? ” she asked.
osu.32435018059279	“ I suppose you have that ring in your pocket? ” “ Yes — ” there was a fond, adoring, boyish light in his eyes.
osu.32435018059279	“ I'd say that he was very angry indeed, sir. ” “ What makes you think that? ” “ Well, he looked it.
osu.32435018059279	“ If that do n't beat the everlasting Dutch! ” “ What? ” questioned Carroll.
osu.32435018059279	“ May I see them? ” Carroll nodded to the turnkey.
osu.32435018059279	“ No, sir, it was down when I reached here. ” “ YOu are Sure? ” “ Positive.
osu.32435018059279	“ Not exactly, Eric. ” “ She was the only other one — ” “ There was another man in the house. ” 44 Who?
osu.32435018059279	“ Sounds cold- blooded, does n't it?
osu.32435018059279	“ Surprises you, does n't it, that I'm on such in- timate terms with Roger Fanshaw? ” “ Nothing you do surprises me, ” commented Leverage.
osu.32435018059279	“ Well –? ” “ You'll laugh at it. ” “ No.
osu.32435018059279	“ Well — what do you think of it?
osu.32435018059279	“ What have you done to Ellen? ” “ She's all right, Mrs. Burrage: just a faint.
osu.32435018059279	“ What have you done? ” she cried accusingly.
osu.32435018059279	“ What is it, Freda? ” “ Gentleman to see you, sir. ” 44 Who?
osu.32435018059279	“ What is it, Freda? ” “ Gentleman to see you, sir. ” 44 Who?
osu.32435018059279	“ What's the matter, Chief? ” “ You fellows walk through the library.
osu.32435018059279	“ What's up?
osu.32435018059279	“ Where to now? ” asked Leverage.
osu.32435018059279	“ Whither? ” “ To 2168 Highland Road to take a look around.
osu.32435018059279	“ Who the hell are you? ” he asked hoarsely.
osu.32435018059279	“ Who was he, Mrs. Burrage? ” “ I — I – do n’t know; really I do n’t, ” she an- swered hysterically.
osu.32435018059279	“ Who was in the house at midnight last night? ” questioned Carroll a bit shortly.
osu.32435018059279	“ Why do n’t you say something? ” rasped Fanshaw.
osu.32435018059279	“ Why do you expect to be arrested for this crime? ” “ Because I had every reason for committing it.
osu.32435018059279	“ Why — after your uncle had driven you from the house — did n't you carry your suitcases? ” Andrew flushed and fidgeted uncomfortably.
osu.32435018059279	“ Would you mind stepping into the hallway a minute? ” he requested.
osu.32435018059279	“ Yes. ” “ You did n't place him under arrest? ” “ No — merely surveillance.
osu.32435018059279	“ You believe in me, dear? ”- “ I believe in you. ” He drew her to him gently — firmly.
osu.32435018059279	“ You chased this man Where? ” “ To the west side of the grounds — at the back of the house.
osu.32435018059279	“ You have interested me — ” “ Interested you?
osu.32435018059279	“ You left that go- ing? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435018059279	“ You put one over on me that time, Eric: what's the answer?
osu.32435018059279	“ You started downstairs –? ” he prompted quietly.
osu.32435018059279	“ You were afraid he had recognized you? ” pursued the detective.
osu.32435018059279	“ You ’ve consulted a lawyer? ” interjected Judith swiftly.
osu.32435018059279	“ You ’ve got me, Chief: What's the answer? ” “ Look again, Eric.
osu.32435018059279	“ ‘ What is it, Mrs. Burrage? ’ she asked.
osu.32435019604784	And his second duty?
osu.32435019604784	And what is to be my part in this process? osu.32435019604784 Are we to ride far? ” asked the Count.
osu.32435019604784	But when will she return?
osu.32435019604784	Donatello,said Miriam, looking at him thoughtfully, but amused, yet not without a shade of sorrow, “ you seem very happy; what makes you so?"
osu.32435019604784	Why should you lov? osu.32435019604784 ** Hilda, my religious Hilda,whispered Miriam, sud- lenly drawing the girl close to her, “ do you know how it is with me?
osu.32435019604784	- or, rather, dance for me? ” “ Oh!
osu.32435019604784	-- Hast thou not endured more terrible things than this? ” Whatever were her apprehensions, she would not turn back.
osu.32435019604784	-- or both in one?
osu.32435019604784	111 “ Miriam,"said the sculptor, with a tremor in his voice, is it yourself?"
osu.32435019604784	140 ROMANCE OF MONTE BENZ- nothing against her? ” continued the sculptor, withorn heeding the irritation of Hilda's tone.
osu.32435019604784	22 “ Do you consider that a sufficient explanation?"
osu.32435019604784	6 But, shall we climb your tower?
osu.32435019604784	6 Was it well done? ” asked the young man.
osu.32435019604784	6 You must leave me,"said Miriam to Donatello, more imperatively than before: “ have I not said it?
osu.32435019604784	71 else can perform the task?
osu.32435019604784	Ah, it is a sad world now! ” “ Then you think there was a merrier world once?"
osu.32435019604784	Am I not the same as yesterday?"
osu.32435019604784	Am I strange?
osu.32435019604784	And is she dead? ” “ Heaven forbid, father! ” exclaimed Kenyon, shrink.
osu.32435019604784	And may we follow the analogy yet farther?
osu.32435019604784	And now that you have done it, Hilda, can you interpret what the feeling is, that gives this picture such a inysterious force?
osu.32435019604784	And surely you did love me?"
osu.32435019604784	And what has innocence to do with it?
osu.32435019604784	And what sadder, more desperate emergency could there be, than had be- fallen Miriam?
osu.32435019604784	And what shall I behold?
osu.32435019604784	And what should a boy like you a Faun, too know about the joys and sorrows, the intertwining light and shadow, of human life?
osu.32435019604784	And where was Donatello?
osu.32435019604784	Are they not a part of the blessings which the system was meant to bestow upon mankind?
osu.32435019604784	Are you often troubled with such sinister freaks of fancy? ” asked Miriam.
osu.32435019604784	But art thou real, or a vision?"
osu.32435019604784	But by what unheard- of solicitations or secret in- terest have you obtained leave to copy Guido's Beatrice Cenci?
osu.32435019604784	But could you think it?
osu.32435019604784	But do you not see?
osu.32435019604784	But how does this accord with what I have been saying only a minute ago?
osu.32435019604784	But if it were only a pent- up heart that sought an outlet?
osu.32435019604784	But never half so happy as now! ” “ In these delightful groves? ” she asked.
osu.32435019604784	But that is not the secret of the quick extinction of my kindred. ” “ Then you are aware of a more satisfactary reason?'
osu.32435019604784	But the expression is now so very different! ” “ What do you take it to be? ” asked the sculptor.
osu.32435019604784	But what are we to do?
osu.32435019604784	But what can you possibly have heard, and through what channel? ” “ Nothing! ” replied Hilda, faintly.
osu.32435019604784	But what is this blood- stain?
osu.32435019604784	But what picture is this? ”"See! ” said Hilda, taking her friend's hand and lead- ing her in front of the easel.
osu.32435019604784	But where was Hilda?
osu.32435019604784	But why do you come into this shadowy room of mine? ” “ Why do you make it so shadowy? ” asked he.
osu.32435019604784	But why do you come into this shadowy room of mine? ” “ Why do you make it so shadowy? ” asked he.
osu.32435019604784	But, a heretio And are you reconciled to the Church?"
osu.32435019604784	But, alas, where now would he find the Faun with whom we see him consorting in so many an antique group?
osu.32435019604784	But, have I sinned against God and man, and deeply sinned?
osu.32435019604784	But, is he extant now?
osu.32435019604784	But, is it thus that virtue looks, the moment after its death- struggle with evil?
osu.32435019604784	CG* DONATELLO,"said Miriam, anxiously, as they came through the Piazza Barberini, “ what can I do for you, my beloved friend?
osu.32435019604784	Can she have accompa- nied him?"
osu.32435019604784	Can you look at the innocent anguish in her face, and ask that question?
osu.32435019604784	Could not all that sanctity at least keep it thawed?
osu.32435019604784	Could they be really a peasant and a contadina, do you imagine? ” “ No, no,"said the other.
osu.32435019604784	Did Adam fall, that we might ultimately rise to a far loftier paradise than his?"
osu.32435019604784	Did all Rome see it, then?
osu.32435019604784	Did anybody ever see Washing- ton nude?
osu.32435019604784	Did the ominous shadow follow him through all the sunshine of his earlier career, and into the gloom that gathered about its closc?
osu.32435019604784	Do I ask too much?"
osu.32435019604784	Do you believe in ghosts? ”"I can hardly tell,"replied Kenyon;"on the whole,, I think not."
osu.32435019604784	Do you know what will be the end of this? ” “ I know well what must be the end, ” he replied.
osu.32435019604784	Do you perceive such in me already?
osu.32435019604784	Do you question it?"
osu.32435019604784	Do you think she sees him?"
osu.32435019604784	Do you, then, thirk me beautiful?
osu.32435019604784	Does his spirit manifest itself in the semblance of flame?
osu.32435019604784	Does it not frighten you a little, like the apparition of a lovely woman that lived of old, and has long lain in the grave? ” “ Ah, Miriam!
osu.32435019604784	Had Guido, in his effort to imagine the utmost of sin and misery, which his pencil could represent, hit ideally upon just this face?
osu.32435019604784	Had her eyes provoked or assented to this deed?
osu.32435019604784	Has a man a flame inside of his head?
osu.32435019604784	Has she stabbed her perfidious lover with a bodkin? ” “ She!
osu.32435019604784	Has there been an · unutterable evil in your young life?
osu.32435019604784	Have I deceived you?
osu.32435019604784	Have I spoken of the sumptuous carving of the capitals of the columns?
osu.32435019604784	Have I wronged you personally?
osu.32435019604784	Have you any to an- nounce?
osu.32435019604784	Have you found aught in the world that is worth what you there enjoyed?
osu.32435019604784	Have you never felt this strange impulse of an evil spirit at your back, shoving you towards a precipice?"
osu.32435019604784	Have you no other friend, now that you have been forced to give me up?"
osu.32435019604784	Heaven, in this case, at least, but — shall I confess it?
osu.32435019604784	Here is your model( who, they say, lived and sinned before Trajan's death) still wandering about Rome; And why not the Emperor Trajan?
osu.32435019604784	Hilda, do you ever pray to the Virgin while you tend her shrine?
osu.32435019604784	Hilda, ” said he, abruptly, “ who and what is Miriam?
osu.32435019604784	How came that flower to grow among these wild mountains?
osu.32435019604784	How happened it to be lying there, beside its grave of twenty centuries?
osu.32435019604784	How have you learned to do it?"
osu.32435019604784	How have you persuaded that shy maiden to let you take her hand in marble?"
osu.32435019604784	How is this?"
osu.32435019604784	How then can the decayed picture of a great master ever be restored by the touches of an inferior hand?
osu.32435019604784	How, indeed, should she have found such?
osu.32435019604784	I dare not call her a friend of mine, though once the dearest. ” “ Do you speak of Hilda? ” exclaimed Kenyon, with quick alarm.
osu.32435019604784	I see its defects to- lay more clearly than ever before. ” “ What are some of them?
osu.32435019604784	I somewhat question whether it is quite the thing, however, to make a genuine woman out of an allegory: we ask, Who is to we d this lovely virgin?
osu.32435019604784	I wonder?
osu.32435019604784	If Religion had a mate rial home, was it not here?
osu.32435019604784	If they had it, what are they the better, now?
osu.32435019604784	In a word, will you not allow him to bring you, as a stray lamb, into the true fold?
osu.32435019604784	In all God's thought and care for us, can He have withheld this boon, which our weakness so much needs?"
osu.32435019604784	In the chapel? ” asked the sculptor.
osu.32435019604784	Is a painter more sacred Than a poet?
osu.32435019604784	Is it not repeated in our ro- mance of Monte Beni?
osu.32435019604784	Is it not so with yonder window?
osu.32435019604784	Is it not so?
osu.32435019604784	Is it not true, Hilda?"
osu.32435019604784	Is it not very hot?
osu.32435019604784	Is it so sweet, then, to go to the confessional?
osu.32435019604784	Is the dark dream, in which I walk, of such solid, stony substance that there can be no escape out of its dungeon?
osu.32435019604784	Is the past so indestructible?
osu.32435019604784	Is there no comfort for you in this avowal?
osu.32435019604784	Is there such a rural class in Italy?
osu.32435019604784	It is Hilda's too, no doubt? ” “ No,"answered the quiet Hilda; “ I should never look for such assistance from an earthly king."
osu.32435019604784	It will be death! ” “ Your own death, Miriam or mine? ” he asked, looking fixedly at her.
osu.32435019604784	May I tell you, Miriam, ” said he, smiling, “ that you are still as beautiful as ever?"
osu.32435019604784	Might we not render some such verdict as this?
osu.32435019604784	My dear Count, why is it not illustrious?
osu.32435019604784	Need I tell more? ” “ No more; there needs no more, Hilda, ” replied Miri.
osu.32435019604784	Oh, let me speak! ” “ Miriam, dear friend, ” replied the sculptor, “ if I can help you, speak freely, as to a brother. ” “ Help me?
osu.32435019604784	Or is it some blood- stain on me, or death.scent in my garments?
osu.32435019604784	Or was it an actual portrait of somebody that haunted the old master, as Miriam was haunted now?
osu.32435019604784	Pardon me; but are you sure of her? ” “ Sure of her! ” repeated Hilda, with an angry blush, for her friend's sake.
osu.32435019604784	So, what have you to show me?"
osu.32435019604784	Solitude has done what it could for him; now, for a while, let him be enticed into the outer world. ” “ What is your plan, then? ” asked Miriam.
osu.32435019604784	That look?"
osu.32435019604784	That strikes you very strangely, does it not?
osu.32435019604784	The seal of the confessional, do you say?
osu.32435019604784	Then, will you not touch my hand?
osu.32435019604784	These last words struck Miriam like a bullet Could it be so?
osu.32435019604784	Trajan! ” “ Why do you deafen us with such an uproar?
osu.32435019604784	Was It horror?

osu.32435019604784	“ Am I, too, stained with guilt?
osu.32435019604784	“ Am I?

osu.32435019604784	“ And what, in Heaven's name? ” asked she.
osu.32435019604784	“ And why not a fact?
osu.32435019604784	“ And why, then, is Miriam at large? ” I asked.

osu.32435019604784	“ Brother Antonio? ” exclaimed the sacristan.

osu.32435019604784	“ Can I help you, then? ” said Hilda, in answer to his look.
osu.32435019604784	“ Dearest, dearest Miriam, ” exclaimed Hilda, throwing her arms about her friend, “ where have you been stray- ing from us?
osu.32435019604784	“ Did you see anything of the dear child after you left us? ” asked Miriam, still keeping Hilda as her topic of conversation.
osu.32435019604784	“ Do not these inestimable advantages,"thought Hildn,"or some of them, at least, belong to Christianity itself?
osu.32435019604784	“ Do not think it, Miriam, ” said he; we are bound together, and can never part again. ” Why should it seem so impossible?
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you imagine me a murderess?
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you like these sketches better, Donatello? ” asked Miriam.
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you recognize this? ” asked the sculptor.
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you say, ” he asked, “ that the nymph's face has never since been shown to any mortal?
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you see it written in my face, or painted in my eyes?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you see it?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Do you smell how sour they are?
osu.32435019604784	“ Does it satisfy you? ” “ And why not? ” he inquired.
osu.32435019604784	“ Does it satisfy you? ” “ And why not? ” he inquired.
osu.32435019604784	“ Does the expression please you? ” she asked.
osu.32435019604784	“ Does the signor suspect a robbery, then? ” “ The signorina's writing- desk is gone, ” replied Ken- yon.
osu.32435019604784	“ Has any one ever been lost here? ” asked Kenyon of the guide.
osu.32435019604784	“ Has anything befallen her?
osu.32435019604784	“ Has he ever been seen? ” asked Hilda, who had great and tremulous faith in marvels of this kind.
osu.32435019604784	“ Have the rooms been entered by yourself, or any other person, since the signorina's disappearance?
osu.32435019604784	“ Have you watched that pilgrim, who is going round the whole circle of shrines, on his knees, and praying with such fervency at every one?
osu.32435019604784	“ Hilda, do you see all this? ” exclaimed Kenyon, in considerable surprise.
osu.32435019604784	“ How dare you look at me? ” exclaimed Miriam, witb& start; then, whispering below her breath,"men hava been struck dead for a less offence!
osu.32435019604784	“ How have you obtained the certainty of which you speak? ” asked he, after pause.
osu.32435019604784	“ I frighten you, you say; for Heaven's sake, how?
osu.32435019604784	“ I have no right to make the sacred symbol on a sinful breast! ” he said, “ On what mortal breast can it be made then?"
osu.32435019604784	“ I was so wretched, that there seemed a grievous sin in it. ” “ And what has made you so suddenly happy? ” in.
osu.32435019604784	“ In other respects,"she inquired at length, “ is he much changed? ” “ A wonderful process is going forward in Donatello's mind."
osu.32435019604784	“ Is all well with you, signor?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Is he not beautiful? ” said Miriam, watching the sculptor's eye as it dwelt admiringly on Donatello.
osu.32435019604784	“ Is it also forbidden to speak of her? ” “ Hush!
osu.32435019604784	“ Is it thou, indeed?
osu.32435019604784	“ Is that for him who lies yonder in the nave?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Is there such blessed potency in bloodshed? ” asked Miriam.
osu.32435019604784	“ Is there the slightest chance of his winning Miriam's Affections? ” suggested Kenyon.
osu.32435019604784	“ Is this the penalty of refinement?
osu.32435019604784	“ Need I tell you more? ” asked Miriam, after proceed.
osu.32435019604784	“ No wonder, do you say? ” repeated the sculptor, looking at her with interest, but not exactly with sur REMINISCENCES OF MIRIAM.
osu.32435019604784	“ Of whom do you speak, my son? ” inquired the priest.
osu.32435019604784	“ Oh, friend, are you conscious, as I am, of this companionship that knits our heart- strings together?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Oh, my friend, ” cried she, with sudden passion, “ will you be my friend indeed?
osu.32435019604784	“ Only promise me to be, by- and- by, a little happy! ” Happy? ” murmured Donatello.
osu.32435019604784	“ See what?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Shall I clutch him by the throat? ” whispered Dona- tello, with a savage scowl.
osu.32435019604784	“ Signorina, do I look as when you first knew me?"
osu.32435019604784	“ Some charitable Christian has sent those vagabonds away, ” thought the sculptor, as he resumed his inter- rupted nap; 5 who could it be?
osu.32435019604784	“ Tell me, did she ever try, even while you were creating her, to overcome you with her fury or her love?
osu.32435019604784	“ The lamp, signor?
osu.32435019604784	“ Then did you not see her again? ” inquired Kenyon, in some alarm.
osu.32435019604784	“ Then you like the picture, Donatello? ” she asked.
osu.32435019604784	“ They know it! ” “ Who know it?
osu.32435019604784	“ To- day, there is no need. ” “ Your happiness, then? ” said the sculptor, as sadly as before.
osu.32435019604784	“ What are you thinking of, Donatello? ” asked Miri.
osu.32435019604784	“ What are you, my friend? ” she exclaimed, alwaya keeping in mind his singular resemblance to the Faun of the Capitol.
osu.32435019604784	“ What are you? ” said the sculptor, advancing his torch nearer.
osu.32435019604784	“ What can I have said, that you think 80 very foolish?"
osu.32435019604784	“ What can have been her connection with these dark incidents? ” “ She will, doubtless, tell you with her own lips,"re- plied Miriam.
osu.32435019604784	“ What has become of it? ” he suddenly inquired, lay- ing his hand on the table.
osu.32435019604784	“ What has happened to you? ” exclaimed Kenyon, stooping down over his friend, and wondering at the an- guish which he betrayed.
osu.32435019604784	“ What have you done? ” said Miriam, in a horror- stricken whisper.
osu.32435019604784	“ What is that other? ” he inquired.
osu.32435019604784	“ What is the matter, Donatello?
osu.32435019604784	“ What is the matter, Donatello? ” asked Miriam, look- ing up from a letter which she was now writing.
osu.32435019604784	“ What is this? ” 234 ROMANCE OF NONTE BENI.

osu.32435019604784	“ Where were you, Hilda? ” asked Kenyon, smiling.
osu.32435019604784	“ Who were they,"said he, looking earnestly in he- face, “ who have been flung over here in days gone by?
osu.32435019604784	“ Why did the water shrink from this unhappy knight?"

osu.32435019604784	” “ Did you not mean that he should die? ” sternly asked Donatello, still in the glow of that intelligence which pas- sion had developed in him.
osu.32435019604784	” “ Is it possible that you need an answer to those ques- tions? ” exclaimed Kenyon, with an aspect of vast sur- prise.
osu.32435019604784	” “ What disturbs you? ” askerl Kenyon.

uc1.b3451733	But if they were outside, then- which way, before or after the Lindstroms?
uc1.b3451733	But to do that to a woman, and a woman you have already made helpless- Well, what do we call insane?
uc1.b3451733	But was it?
uc1.b3451733	But what about the stupid ones?--the ones like Elena, all bleached curls and giggles and gold ankle chains?
uc1.b3451733	But, he thought confusedly, but- An omen?
uc1.b3451733	But, where d’you think I found this little piece of lace?
uc1.b3451733	But- you mean special, just lately?
uc1.b3451733	Chip off the ole block like they say, huh?
uc1.b3451733	Dalton was n't after Janny, only the money, he wouldn't-"“ You think- no hitch, do it like that?
uc1.b3451733	Deeper inside a voice was screaming at him soundlessly, What the hell are you going to do?
uc1.b3451733	Did you like dolls when you were a little girl? ” “ Against my better judgment you do intrigue me.
uc1.b3451733	Did you want to see me about something? ”.
uc1.b3451733	Do n't I remember Dal- ton?
uc1.b3451733	Do n't seem hardly possible, though, that a boy thirteen- and why'd she want a doll so bad, her with only a boy? ” Mendoza sighed and stood up.
uc1.b3451733	Do we say it was the murderer took it away?
uc1.b3451733	Do you know where she was? ” The girl answered from where she had perched uneasily on the kitchen table.
uc1.b3451733	Ever hear her mention goin'to buy a doll?
uc1.b3451733	First off, how many people d'you suppose moved out of that section of town last September?
uc1.b3451733	Gunn?"
uc1.b3451733	Have you got the address? ”"Just a minute, I'll take it down.
uc1.b3451733	He knew now that it was possible to come in here without being noticed, but could anyone count on it five times out of five?
uc1.b3451733	He looked at Bertha thoughtfully( the average mind?)
uc1.b3451733	He's de- cided to go back to his family?
uc1.b3451733	His mind said back at him, Like you re- membered wrong before?
uc1.b3451733	How big is he?-how strong? ”"Almost as tall as I am- five- eight- and- a- half, around there.
uc1.b3451733	How much do you average a year in poker winnings, anyway? ”.
uc1.b3451733	How'd I know that?
uc1.b3451733	I do n't know what's in your mind about this boy- you talk about lunatics and juvenile hoods, so O.K., which is he?
uc1.b3451733	I realize you would n't be likely to recognize anyone you knew under the circumstances- so, did you know Miss Ramirez? ”.
uc1.b3451733	I remember enough law – Extor- tion?
uc1.b3451733	I said she'd left the doll in the window, did n't I?
uc1.b3451733	I'm just up on a little business trip. ” “ With success? ” asked Mendoza genially.
uc1.b3451733	If he wants, What's that?
uc1.b3451733	Janny, maybe- some illness?
uc1.b3451733	Just that?-not a finger on her handbag after cash?
uc1.b3451733	Let's go in the kitchen, if that's all right, mister?"
uc1.b3451733	Make it that same corner, seven o'clock, with the cash- an'I do n't take nothing bigger than fives, see? ” He slid out of the booth, stood up.
uc1.b3451733	Mendoza had debated about taking them off: a waste of time?
uc1.b3451733	No trace of the father yet? ”"It's early, we've only been on this a few days.
uc1.b3451733	Not fair, after everything else — the panic in Sue's eyes, the panic he heard in his own voice telling her- ten thousand- what the hell could he do?
uc1.b3451733	Now there was just the outline of the foundation 14 CASE PENDING “ When would you say? ” he asked the surgeon.
uc1.b3451733	One o'clock? ” “ But naturally, ” she said, widening her eyes at him.
uc1.b3451733	She said- let me think!—Miss Weir, what should you do about a guy annoys you?'
uc1.b3451733	She saw him, and she made him stop, and said, “ Oh, you're the boy lives downstairs, are n't you?
uc1.b3451733	She says there's something'funny'about him, and you —"“ How should I know it was anything important?
uc1.b3451733	So nothing was said last night about where your sister and Mr. Wade were going? ” She shook her head.
uc1.b3451733	Someone at the rink?
uc1.b3451733	Someone will come for your father- you'll see he's ready?
uc1.b3451733	Something had to happen, and what did it matter what or how?
uc1.b3451733	Tell me first, I believe your daughter lived here with you?-then you must have been worried that she did n't come home last night?
uc1.b3451733	Tell me, do you think she'd have let a stranger pick her up, as they say?"
uc1.b3451733	That this thing had looked a little- like Elena Ramirez?
uc1.b3451733	That was n't blood either, acourse it was n't, how could it be?
uc1.b3451733	The law does n't take your unsupported word, does it? ” – turning on Mendoza, who shook his head.
uc1.b3451733	Then I've got Mrs. Lindstrom's name, and then I find out she's living in the same neighborhood this time too, and where that does get me?
uc1.b3451733	Then he said,"You been down tº see where the murder was? ” Something moved a little, dark and uneasy, at the very bottom of Marty's mind.
uc1.b3451733	There's no credit to the marksman in an easy target. ” 82 CASE PENDING “ Or to the wolf who catches the smallest lamb?
uc1.b3451733	Think: if, when Smith comes, what are you going to do now?
uc1.b3451733	Thirty seconds?
uc1.b3451733	This girl tells you some strange man is annoying her, and you talk about hair dye and never ask one question?
uc1.b3451733	Want to bet? ” Mendoza laughed, abrupt and mirthless.
uc1.b3451733	Was he to school today? ” “ No, ma'am, I guess he was n't, I have n't seen- ”.
uc1.b3451733	Was it imagination?
uc1.b3451733	We went through all that on the first case. ” “ And did n't come up with anything?
uc1.b3451733	Well, as you might say yourself, ¿ A qué viene eso?
uc1.b3451733	What business is it of theirs?

uc1.b3451733	What do you export?"
uc1.b3451733	What have you got on the boy? ” “ Nothing, why should I have?
uc1.b3451733	What have you got on the boy? ” “ Nothing, why should I have?
uc1.b3451733	What the hell good did it do to pick up a minnow like this Ramirez, who just ferried the stuff across the border in small lots?
uc1.b3451733	What the hell has it got to do with this? ” “ Do n't look a gift horse in the mouth.
uc1.b3451733	What the hell have you got?
uc1.b3451733	What the hell right had he to pretend such to- the- manner- born- if indefinable- insolence?
uc1.b3451733	What the hell, if the thing did look like her, or the other way around?
uc1.b3451733	What time tomorrow?"
uc1.b3451733	What's all this about the Ramirez girl?
uc1.b3451733	What's it mean?"
uc1.b3451733	What's the matter, Dick? ”.
uc1.b3451733	What_ ” “ You speak Spanish, Miss Weir? ”"By accident.
uc1.b3451733	Who is the other gentleman you mentioned?"
uc1.b3451733	Why should they go to all the trouble of holding down regular jobs too?
uc1.b3451733	Why was n't he arrested for his real crimes?
uc1.b3451733	Why you got to go out, Marty?
uc1.b3451733	Why?
uc1.b3451733	Why?"
uc1.b3451733	Why?"
uc1.b3451733	Would you like to hear a story of human foibles and follies?
uc1.b3451733	You ca n't blame me for that, could n't you just, ”"So Mr. Morgan was asking about the Lindstroms too?"
uc1.b3451733	You found out yet who that dead man in the yards was? ” CASE PENDING 97 know, it's that come now, I throu're takin.

uc1.b3451733	You see, his dad was kind of nice to him awhile, just lately, an'then he got mad at him, and I guess it sort of turned Danny- d'you sup- pose?
uc1.b3451733	You see?
uc1.b3451733	You teach classes, or whatever they're called, yourself? ”.
uc1.b3451733	You'll do me a favor to- morrow_ ” “ What? ” She regarded him warily.
uc1.b3451733	and I asked, Annoys you how?
uc1.b3451733	¿ Comprende?
uc1.b3451733	“ And pairhaps some of our special brandy, sair? ” “ That I need, ” said Alison, “ after listening to this barefaced con- fession.
uc1.b3451733	“ And the girl poured out her problems into your sympathetic ear? ”"That she did.
uc1.b3451733	“ And what happened to you? ” added Mendoza, turning on Dwyer, who was sporting a patch bandage taped across one eye.
uc1.b3451733	“ Another colored girl? ” she asked calmly.
uc1.b3451733	“ Any comment? ” he asked, very soft and amused.
uc1.b3451733	“ Any kids? ” “ One, a boy about twelve- thirteen. ” “ O.K.,"said Gunn.
uc1.b3451733	“ But how could you indeed? ”"And this is n't getting to what you want to know, anyway.
uc1.b3451733	“ But how on earth do you even start to look for a man like that?
uc1.b3451733	“ But you would certainly have expected that he'd see her home?"
uc1.b3451733	“ Can you tell us about it, Lieutenant, how you came to find it? ” Mendoza leaned back and lit a cigarette.
uc1.b3451733	“ Coat pock- ets? ” he murmured.
uc1.b3451733	“ Description? ” And when he'd pried that out of Morgan, “ Yes, well, he wo n't be troubling you for a while.
uc1.b3451733	“ Did you disapprove of this Mr. Wade, then? ” asked Mendoza of Ramirez casually.
uc1.b3451733	“ Do you think I've lied to you?
uc1.b3451733	“ Ever know any little boys who did? ” “ When they're very young, otherwise not.
uc1.b3451733	“ Give me another one of those, will you?
uc1.b3451733	“ Hi, Danny, wh- what's new?"
uc1.b3451733	“ In this? ” said the sergeant.
uc1.b3451733	“ Miss Weir? ” “ Oh, dear me, no. ” She moved the glasses up to focus on him better.
uc1.b3451733	“ Noth- ing?"
uc1.b3451733	“ Now what does this mean?
uc1.b3451733	“ Oh, have you seen him anywheres?
uc1.b3451733	“ Oh?
uc1.b3451733	“ Or am I being too subtle?
uc1.b3451733	“ Say, Marty, why'd you run off las'night? ” Danny was ask- ing.
uc1.b3451733	“ She said that?
uc1.b3451733	“ So, I say doll to you- what do you think of? ”"Witches, ” said Bertha.
uc1.b3451733	“ So?"
uc1.b3451733	“ That so? ” said Morgan.
uc1.b3451733	“ That's all?
uc1.b3451733	“ Then what're you doin'here? ” asked Smith softly And that of course was the point.
uc1.b3451733	“ Well, what now?"
uc1.b3451733	“ What about her? ” Stack followed him back into his office.
uc1.b3451733	“ What could I do, what else could I –?
uc1.b3451733	“ What did you get out of the Wades? ” “ Something to please you. ” Circumstantially, the Wades were counted out.
uc1.b3451733	“ What murder? ” “ Jeez, do n't you know anything happens?
uc1.b3451733	“ What murder? ” “ Jeez, do n't you know anything happens?
uc1.b3451733	“ What would you like to drink?"
uc1.b3451733	“ What's your name?"
uc1.b3451733	“ What, to compete with me?
uc1.b3451733	“ Where do I go and when?"
uc1.b3451733	“ Where you going?"
uc1.b3451733	“ Would you have? ” “ No, but then I'm not a woman.
uc1.b3451733	“ Ya lo creo, as we might put it, huh?"
uc1.b3451733	“ Yes, ” said Gunn thoughtfully, “ and what does that mean, either?
uc1.b3451733	“ Yes? ” And her voice matched the rest of her, a warm con- tralto.
uc1.b3451733	“ You are —?
uc1.b3451733	“ You are- an agent of police?"
uc1.b3451733	“ You found out anything yet? ”"A little.
uc1.b3451733	“ You kiddin'?
uc1.b3451733	“ You'll make a report all em- bellished with the technical terms, but to go on with for the moment?"
uc1.b3451733	“ You're a Mexican national, not a citizen?

uc1.a0000371096	An'what did you see, young lady, when you got upstairs?

uc1.a0000371096	Do n't you suppose I'd tell you if I knew? uc1.a0000371096 Do you dislike Mr. Dolliver? ” he asked bluntly.
uc1.a0000371096	Dolliver, ” he whipped out, “ when was it that you went to Jaggers'room and got his gun?
uc1.a0000371096	Floater, eh?
uc1.a0000371096	From that section of the bookcase?
uc1.a0000371096	Gosh, but ai n't it the beaut of a little mystery though? uc1.a0000371096 He was alone at the time?"
uc1.a0000371096	Huh? ” Slats suspected that this might be sarcasm. uc1.a0000371096 I guess we can work together, Mr. What did you say your name was? ” “ Baskerville,"answered J.
uc1.a0000371096	I presume,he ventured,"that we can ex- pect the coroner soon?"
uc1.a0000371096	I wonder how much stock we're to take in that wild- sounding yarn about the book room?
uc1.a0000371096	I wonder if we have?
uc1.a0000371096	I wonder what Paul meant, mother? uc1.a0000371096 If that's the truth, ” said Mrs. Eastman sus- piciously,"why did you lie to Mr. Strawn about it?"
uc1.a0000371096	It is a little disgusting, is n't it?
uc1.a0000371096	Jaggers, what were you doing in this room to- night?
uc1.a0000371096	Jaggers, when was it that you let that man into the house?

uc1.a0000371096	My first name?

uc1.a0000371096	Polly, what are you saying? uc1.a0000371096 Queer old joint this, huh?"
uc1.a0000371096	Say, doc,he demanded eagerly,"what sort of a thing was used to smash this fellow's head?"
uc1.a0000371096	So that's it, eh?
uc1.a0000371096	So you was packin'your grip, was you? uc1.a0000371096 The Black Fox has come back?"
uc1.a0000371096	Then you do n't know? ” he murmured. uc1.a0000371096 Then you do not know that Padden, Three- finger Frank, is dead?"
uc1.a0000371096	Then you know some- thing about this three- fingered man, do you? uc1.a0000371096 Was he a sort of sickly- lookin'guy with a brown cap? ” inquired one of the other two men, who wore rubber boots.
uc1.a0000371096	Was it you, Reynard, who sent Padden?
uc1.a0000371096	Was there any evidence that Polly was fond of Dolliver? ” he inquired. uc1.a0000371096 Were n't the counterfeiting plates hidden behind the bookcase?"
uc1.a0000371096	What about you? ” he demanded. uc1.a0000371096 What are these plates that you keep talking about? ” “ Engraving plates, ” explained Bob Dolliver.
uc1.a0000371096	What are you lookin'so scared to death about? uc1.a0000371096 What are you two whispering about?"
uc1.a0000371096	What did you hear him say?
uc1.a0000371096	What do you think?
uc1.a0000371096	What is your name? ” he inquired. uc1.a0000371096 What makes you so sure, ” he demanded mean- 124 THE HOUSE OF ROGUES ingly,"that Dolliver had just found the body?
uc1.a0000371096	What motive could Jaggers have had, Mr. Basker- ville?
uc1.a0000371096	What on earth was the man thinking about when he bought this dismal old ruin? uc1.a0000371096 What on earth were you up to, anyhow, Paul? ” Strawn shot his nephew a quick and inquiring glance which likewise demanded an explanation.
uc1.a0000371096	What sort of work would you do?
uc1.a0000371096	What'cha mean, official business?
uc1.a0000371096	What's all this about? ” he growled almost sneer- ingly. uc1.a0000371096 What's hidden away in that cunning little place? ”"This,"answered Strawn, holding in his two hands two packages.
uc1.a0000371096	What's the idea?

uc1.a0000371096	What's this?
uc1.a0000371096	What's wanted?
uc1.a0000371096	What's wrong here?
uc1.a0000371096	Where does that lead to, Reynard?
uc1.a0000371096	Where does this three- fingered feller come in?
uc1.a0000371096	Where the devil is that light?
uc1.a0000371096	Where was he, Petersen?
uc1.a0000371096	Where'd you get the scissors, lad, and what are you going to do with them? ” Baskerville demanded, a touch of curiosity in his voice. uc1.a0000371096 Who can that be?"
uc1.a0000371096	Who done it? ” There was no response. uc1.a0000371096 Who ever heard of a man with a few days to serve breaking prison? ” he derided.
uc1.a0000371096	Why did the three- fingered man want to engage you in a conversa- tion? uc1.a0000371096 Why do n't yer answer?
uc1.a0000371096	Why is it so ridiculous?
uc1.a0000371096	Yeah, I've heard that he was the best in the busi- So he was that good, huh?

uc1.a0000371096	A crook, his objective the counterfeiting plates be- longing to The Black Fox- what use could he have for a shovel?
uc1.a0000371096	And he laughed nasally at this quip which WHY A SHOVEL?

uc1.a0000371096	I am very care- ful of books, and""What book did you get?"
uc1.a0000371096	I could n't very well imagine that. ” “ How about the windows? ” suggested Bob Dolliver.
uc1.a0000371096	I do n't happen to own a gun, and — well, what's the use in taking chances?"
uc1.a0000371096	I noticed it when he was rolling a cigarette. ” “ An old man?"
uc1.a0000371096	I opened the door and"You saw some one?"
uc1.a0000371096	Is that also your judgment?"
uc1.a0000371096	Is that the three- fingered man? ” He turned his head, as if the sight of it sickened him.
uc1.a0000371096	Is there a back stairs to the house? ” No immediate response.
uc1.a0000371096	Is there a back stairs?"
uc1.a0000371096	It baffled you, eh? ”"I measured this house from top to bottom!"
uc1.a0000371096	May I?"
uc1.a0000371096	Mr. Strawn some kin to you? ”"I — I loved John Strawn, ” Vera Kingslake whis- pered tragically.
uc1.a0000371096	Mr. Strawn, are you going to let that awful person menace our safety by running at large?"
uc1.a0000371096	No?"
uc1.a0000371096	Nothin'so queer about a man buyin'a shovel, is there?
uc1.a0000371096	Oh, I admit that it would be enough, and he'd probably settle enough on us-"Us?
uc1.a0000371096	Oh, it's just absurd, that's all. ”"Do you think that these bookcases might hide some secret entrance?"

uc1.a0000371096	Shall I put in that long- distance call for you?"
uc1.a0000371096	So he's about to be released from prison, is he?"
uc1.a0000371096	So he's been making love to you, has he?
uc1.a0000371096	Strange, is n't it, that there was no outcry?
uc1.a0000371096	Strawn's nephew, did n't you say you was?
uc1.a0000371096	Strawn, rather amused and commenting mentally upon THE FIFTY- DOLLAR PLATES 33 “ This was n't where he made his counterfeit money?"
uc1.a0000371096	Strawn?"
uc1.a0000371096	THE HOUSE WITH A PAST 27"You mean,"questioned Polly,"that he'll be drawn back here on account of his affection for his old house?"

uc1.a0000371096	Tell me, Polly, in all calmness, did you really hear some one in that room?"
uc1.a0000371096	That — that I killed John Strawn?"
uc1.a0000371096	The three- fingered man — who was he?

uc1.a0000371096	WHY A SHOVEL?
uc1.a0000371096	WHY A SHOVEL?
uc1.a0000371096	Want a look at'em, folks? ” He removed the wrapping of oiled paper and offered the counterfeiter's plates for inspection.
uc1.a0000371096	Was that just an outburst of anger, or was there an honest meaning behind it?
uc1.a0000371096	Was there one belonging to the place?"
uc1.a0000371096	What could it mean?
uc1.a0000371096	What did I get out of it?
uc1.a0000371096	What did he look like, anyhow?
uc1.a0000371096	What did you do after you heard the shot?"
uc1.a0000371096	What do you make of it, Mr. Baskerville? ” J.
uc1.a0000371096	What door?
uc1.a0000371096	What kind of a boob do you think I am, anyhow?"

uc1.a0000371096	What would any one except a criminal want with the counterfeiting plates?"
uc1.a0000371096	What's your choice, Mrs. Kingslake? ” The latter shrugged her shoulders; so far as she was concerned the house party was at an end.
uc1.a0000371096	Where've you been chasing off to, lad? ” he asked finally.
uc1.a0000371096	Who else was there to believe but that I had killed him?"
uc1.a0000371096	Who shot Mister Strawn? ” The only answer was Vera Kingslake's sobbing, and Sheriff Edwards showed signs of impatience.
uc1.a0000371096	Who would think of him in any sort of a detective capacity?
uc1.a0000371096	Why are you sendin'for this Jaggers feller, anyhow?"
uc1.a0000371096	Why is it that some people are always suspicious of an effort to do them a good turn?
uc1.a0000371096	Why should Vera Kingslake so earnestly desire to thwart a match between her and Strawn?
uc1.a0000371096	Why should he rush in impulsively at the sight of the first pretty face?"
uc1.a0000371096	Why should n't a man take his time about looking for a wife, the most important selection that he is called on to make in all his lifetime?"
uc1.a0000371096	Why should n't a man use the same good judgment?
uc1.a0000371096	Why was there no sound?
uc1.a0000371096	Will you find Jaggers for me, if you please?"
uc1.a0000371096	Wo n't you please come inside?"
uc1.a0000371096	Would n't I have left it wide open? ”"Mebbe you would, then mebbe you would n't, ” said the sheriff.
uc1.a0000371096	Yer hear me, Shoreham?
uc1.a0000371096	Yes, true enough, plenty of people do buy shovels, but what did the three- fingered man want with a shovel?
uc1.a0000371096	Yet, when had Dolliver, if guilty, got possession of Jaggers'pistol?
uc1.a0000371096	You are going out on Monday, I believe? ” No.
uc1.a0000371096	You did not then see the second victim, whom you call the three- fingered man, about the beach yesterday morning?''
uc1.a0000371096	You let the man come into this house to- night, did n't you?"
uc1.a0000371096	You said, Dolliver, that you put them in the desk? ” he asked.

uc1.a0000371096	“ Are you hearing noises again, child? ” “ There's some one in that room,"Polly insisted for the third time.
uc1.a0000371096	“ Are you tryin'to make me swaller that kind of stuff?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Buying a shovel?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Butler?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Did you ever see this gun before, Dolliver? ”"Never."
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do n't tell me that you're in love with with-"With whom, mother?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do n't you suppose I got sense enough to be on the lookout for finger prints?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do n't you suppose that I've seen what's been going on?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do n't you use the grand language?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do you happen to know Jaggers'first name? ” Bob shook his head.
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do you think that the right man has been arrested?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Do you want to be reasonable, or are you going to force me to make an issue of our respective authori- ties?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Find any- thing in Jaggers'room?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Have you suddenly gone crazy?
uc1.a0000371096	“ How dare you talk like this to me?
uc1.a0000371096	“ How do they go about making counterfeit money, anyhow?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ How far was that from the study? ” the sheriff wanted to know.
uc1.a0000371096	“ I could n't very well, could I, until he asked me?
uc1.a0000371096	“ I wonder if Kermit Saunders found happiness?
uc1.a0000371096	“ I've got to go through with it, have n't I?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Is n't anything going to be done about the body?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Isn't- isn't that enough? ” gasped Polly's mother, and at least ten of the twelve heads composing the coroner's jury seemed to nod in agreement.
uc1.a0000371096	“ It was my horse, was n't it?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ It's all very queer, is n't it?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Just what do you mean is disgusting? ” he asked.
uc1.a0000371096	“ Looks like a set for a movie, do n't it?
uc1.a0000371096	“ May I ask you, Mrs. Kingslake, when you last saw Strawn alive? ” he inquired.
uc1.a0000371096	“ May I tell them? ” he mur- mured.
uc1.a0000371096	“ My uncle has been shot to death in his study- murdered. ” “ Who done it?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ My-- my summers? ” “ You know what I mean, Polly; I want you to be- come Mrs.
uc1.a0000371096	“ Nothing strange about that, is there?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Now, as a matter of fact, Jaggers, did n't the three- fingered man tell you that he was after the plates and offer you money to get them for him?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Perhaps,"he asked softly,"you've heard of'The Fox?'
uc1.a0000371096	“ Police?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Resigning your job, eh?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Say, grandpa, what's the idear of starin'a hole through a fella thataway? ” he demanded indignantly.
uc1.a0000371096	“ See here,"he growled,"who's in charge here?
uc1.a0000371096	“ Shall we leave it to a vote of you ladies? ” “ Would n't it be rather nice to motor over to Hilltop Inn for luncheon?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Shall we leave it to a vote of you ladies? ” “ Would n't it be rather nice to motor over to Hilltop Inn for luncheon?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Suppose you're surprised to see me down here, huh?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ That for me? ” he asked eagerly.
uc1.a0000371096	“ That sounds rather absurd, do n't you think?
uc1.a0000371096	“ That's Long Island Sound, lad; see that gray film looming up over there?
uc1.a0000371096	“ The Black Fox built it, eh?
uc1.a0000371096	“ The way your uncle is letting himself walk into that designing woman's trap- what else?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ The — the three- fingered man?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Then it's your theory,"asked Bob Dolliver,"that the plates were left behind those books deliberately?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Then you think the stealing of the plates was the motive?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Then you've noticed it?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Was he a three- fingered man?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Well, ” he demanded sarcastically, “ what do you propose to do about it? ” “ I propose to do just this, ” answered Bob Dolliver.
uc1.a0000371096	“ What are you going to do with them? ” asked Polly.
uc1.a0000371096	“ What brought you here, Padden?
uc1.a0000371096	“ What did the man want with a shovel?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ What do you mean — the three- fingered man?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ What kind of threats?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ What makes you think Bob Dolliver? ” Mrs. Eastman sniffed.
uc1.a0000371096	“ What the devil are you driving at, Dolliver? ”'he demanded bellig- erently.
uc1.a0000371096	“ What was Dolliver's reaction when he heard the news?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ What was that the sheriff said about your finger prints being on Jaggers'gun? ” “ That was true,"said Dolliver.
uc1.a0000371096	“ What were the rela- tions between your uncle and Dolliver? ” he asked.
uc1.a0000371096	“ What's all the excite- ment, anyhow?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ What's that? ”"He was killed- murdered."
uc1.a0000371096	“ What's this?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ What's up now?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Where was you goin'away to? ” “ New York. ” “ Why was you goin'to New York?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Where was you goin'away to? ” “ New York. ” “ Why was you goin'to New York?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Who could have killed the three- fingered man?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Who killed him?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Why was you packin'up to leave the house?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ Yes,"he said,"we've found the three- fingered man. ”"Where- how? ” erIn the water of the cove- by luck.
uc1.a0000371096	“ You ai n't been pryin'around, tearin'things up,'fore the coroner got here? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0000371096	“ You have something to tell me?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You hear any doors bein'slammed?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You mean Dolliver?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You mean Dolliver?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You seemed rather to enjoy it. ”"I wonder if the three- fingered man will come back? ” mused Mrs. Kingslake.
uc1.a0000371096	“ You think I am acting from spite?
uc1.a0000371096	“ You thought a lot of Uncle John, did n't you?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You — you really think that-some one has been here?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You — you're not going to throw away this wonderful chance?"
uc1.a0000371096	“ You're goin'back into the old game again? ” he demanded in a hoarse, ex- cited whisper.

osu.32435018368191	Might not someone have taken the keys from his pocket, gone up to the room without making any noise and let the trunk down here by a rope?
osu.32435018368191	Morgan Sherburne? ” Apparently the voice at the other end of the wire replied rather peevishly, for Kennedy endeavored to smooth over the delay.
osu.32435018368191	Mr. Seabury, how long have you felt as you say that you do? ” “ Several weeks, ” the man returned weakly.
osu.32435018368191	No wonder she was so frantic, then. ’ ’ “ What do you know of the bankers, Forsythe& Co.? ’’ asked Craig.
osu.32435018368191	Now the thing to do is to convince the world of that. ” “ Then you have the telephote in actual operation? ” asked Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	Oh, ca n’t you find out?
osu.32435018368191	Or had it been asphyxiation due to a poison that had paralyzed the chest muscles?
osu.32435018368191	Or might it be for revenge?
osu.32435018368191	Or were they both copies and had the original been hidden?
osu.32435018368191	Or, had there been a “ triangle, ” perhaps a quad- rangle here?
osu.32435018368191	Or, have they put her up to getting it? ” The last query was wrung from her as if by main force.
osu.32435018368191	Perhaps she knows where Loeb is. ” “ If you get on the trail, will you wire me? ” I asked.
osu.32435018368191	Perhaps the thing is all right, but,-well, what do I really know about it? ” One could not help feeling a great deal of sympathy for her.
osu.32435018368191	Preston? ” repeated Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	Ritter will call for you?
osu.32435018368191	She was forced to go! ” “ Attacked and carried off? ” I queried.
osu.32435018368191	Sher- burne was your operative? ” Kennedy nodded.
osu.32435018368191	Sher- burne, may I ask just what it is on which you base your claim on Mrs. Seabury?
osu.32435018368191	Somehow she got acquainted with Miss Laidlaw and introduced her to him. ” 244 THE SOCIAL GANGSTER “ You know her? ” queried Craig casually.
osu.32435018368191	Still, they might be inside the walls, might n’t they? ” Kennedy nodded.

osu.32435018368191	THE WEED OF MADNESS 341 conceived and executed this devilish plot?

osu.32435018368191	The race had been won — but had the problem been solved?
osu.32435018368191	Then why the struggle?
osu.32435018368191	Understand? ” A moment later we returned to the cab, where it had pulled up in the shadow, away from the carriage en- trance.
osu.32435018368191	Was Jacot hint- ing at something known in the trade?
osu.32435018368191	Was he hope- lessly out of date, or really ahead of his time?
osu.32435018368191	Was it Faber, or Jacot, or was it someone else?
osu.32435018368191	Was it Tresham, after all, whom she really admired and wanted to see?
osu.32435018368191	Was it a fact or was it merely imagination?
osu.32435018368191	Was it a sort of auto- hypnotism?
osu.32435018368191	Was it because Creighton had gone off with her money, or was it pique because Mrs. Barry had, perhaps, won him?
osu.32435018368191	Was it in his eyes, or was it merely his ardent foreign grace?
osu.32435018368191	Was it merely to get this cattle contract, big as that was?
osu.32435018368191	Was it merely to vindicate his professional pride at the failure he and the Coroner had had so far with the case?
osu.32435018368191	Was it really, I won- dered, that Creighton, more than his motor, has fasci- nated her?
osu.32435018368191	Was it too late?
osu.32435018368191	Was she really afraid of him?
osu.32435018368191	Was the plan to elope and so avoid his wife?
osu.32435018368191	Was the “ evil eye ” of superstition a scientific fact?
osu.32435018368191	Was there a baneful beam that could be directed at will — one that could not be seen or felt until it worked its havoc?
osu.32435018368191	Was there a power that steel walls could not hold, which, in fact, was the more surely transmitted by them?
osu.32435018368191	Was there any significance in the mistake?
osu.32435018368191	Was there some subtle, unknown poison which had hitherto baffled science, but which now he was about to reveal to us?
osu.32435018368191	Was there such a thing as the drug of the evil eye?
osu.32435018368191	Was there treach- ery in the crew?
osu.32435018368191	Was this the “ safe ” poison at last?
osu.32435018368191	We ca n’t deny that. ” “ What does Miss Allison think? ” queried Craig.
osu.32435018368191	Were we really on the right track at last?
osu.32435018368191	What could have been more evident than that she was seeking evidence and such evidence could only have been for a court of law in a divorce suit?
osu.32435018368191	What could these women be thinking of?
osu.32435018368191	What did Craig mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did he mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did it mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did it mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did it mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did it mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did she mean?
osu.32435018368191	What did they know of the men, except their clothes and steps?
osu.32435018368191	What do you think of it? ” Craig was following Dr. Haynes keenly.
osu.32435018368191	What had Rita told him?
osu.32435018368191	What if he had been observed and someone were down there investigating?
osu.32435018368191	What more natural, then, than for him to visit that locker when he returned from town, open it?
osu.32435018368191	What shall I do?
osu.32435018368191	What was his connection with Rita, I wondered?
osu.32435018368191	What was it he had discovered?
osu.32435018368191	What was the purpose back of it all?
osu.32435018368191	What would they show?
osu.32435018368191	What's your theory, then,—foul play? ” Dr. Blythe looked from Kennedy to me, then said slowly, “ Yes — but we ca n’t find a trace of poison.
osu.32435018368191	Where had she placed the diamond?
osu.32435018368191	Where was Du Mond?
osu.32435018368191	Which of them typified Creighton?
osu.32435018368191	Who had been dining with her that fatal evening? ” Kennedy had no chance to answer his questions, even if he had intended to do so.
osu.32435018368191	Who had the knowledge that would suggest using such a poison?
osu.32435018368191	Who had the motive?
osu.32435018368191	Who had the real masterpiece?
osu.32435018368191	Who is he? ” “ A Servian, he says, and his name sounds as if it might be so. ” The voices trailed off.
osu.32435018368191	Who knows but that 26 THE SOCIAL GANGSTER he made her get it to save her reputation?
osu.32435018368191	Who was it?
osu.32435018368191	Who was that? ” “ I do n’t know, ” replied Craig, picking up the hat, underneath which lay a package.
osu.32435018368191	Who was the little woman who had been like a skeleton at a feast?
osu.32435018368191	Why do n’t they suspect Wynd- ham?
osu.32435018368191	Why had Kennedy not foreseen this risk?
osu.32435018368191	Why was he so careful about it?
osu.32435018368191	Why, Kennedy — how are you?
osu.32435018368191	Why, do you know anything about it? ” Kennedy said nothing.
osu.32435018368191	Why?
osu.32435018368191	Why? ” Briefly Kennedy sketched such facts of a supposedly hypothetical case as would be likely to secure an opinion from the house man.
osu.32435018368191	Why? ” “ Come, ” exclaimed Kennedy, seizing it.
osu.32435018368191	Would he succeed in whatever it was that he was planning?
osu.32435018368191	Would he, perhaps at the last moment, lose his nerve?
osu.32435018368191	Would she escape finally, after all?
osu.32435018368191	You are acquainted with the test?
osu.32435018368191	You are familiar with it, I presume? ” Kennedy nodded.
osu.32435018368191	You are sure that you can detonate them when the time comes? ” “ Positive.
osu.32435018368191	You do n’t mean to tell me that you knew her? ” “ Why, yes, ” hastened Burke.

osu.32435018368191	‘ ‘ Who is that woman? ’ ” I asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ A fake Watteau? ” he asked, appearing to meet Jacot halfway.
osu.32435018368191	“ A rebate, ” Kennedy went on insinuatingly, “ a commission on the bill — you understand?
osu.32435018368191	“ Are they living?
osu.32435018368191	“ But why did she go there? ” he asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ But why do you come to me? ” he asked gently.
osu.32435018368191	“ But will you attend to that end of the affair for me, Walter?
osu.32435018368191	“ But, I be- lieve there are detectaphones hidden about this house! ” “ Have you searched? ” asked Kennedy keenly.
osu.32435018368191	“ By the way, have you found out any- thing about the Baroness? ” “ Not a word, yet, ” replied Haynes unhesitatingly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Ca n’t you have her get acquainted — just as a pre- caution — with that man?
osu.32435018368191	“ Can you be here at, say, eight? ” “ I will be here, ” she murmured pliantly, realizing her own helplessness.
osu.32435018368191	“ Can you go down with me now and meet Mr. Tresham?
osu.32435018368191	“ Can you go over to Brooklyn with me now? ” “ Of course, ” agreed Burke, brightening up.
osu.32435018368191	“ Can you tell me why? ” Kennedy was thinking deeply.
osu.32435018368191	“ Chickens? ” asked Craig with a broad smile at the double meaning.
osu.32435018368191	“ Could you discover them if they were? ” asked Gaskell.
osu.32435018368191	“ Cyanogen? ” I repeated.
osu.32435018368191	“ Did I hear you refer to the Invincible? ’ ’ It was Margot himself, who had been hovering about behind us.
osu.32435018368191	“ Did Madame Dupres know the Baroness Von Dorf? ” asked Craig quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Did anything happen downtown? ” I asked when I had finished.
osu.32435018368191	“ Did she recognize anything, say anything? ” “ She seemed to be in a state of amnesia, ” replied Sanderson slowly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Did you ever hear of the great diamond, the In- vincible? ” Kennedy smashed out.
osu.32435018368191	“ Did you never hear of a picture with a dual personality? ”- Kennedy seemed to consider the idea.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do n’t you think a cancer specialist would be more likely to help you? ” “ A specialist? ” she repeated with a peculiar hope- lessness.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do n’t you think a cancer specialist would be more likely to help you? ” “ A specialist? ” she repeated with a peculiar hope- lessness.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do n’t you think we might leave the door ajar a little? ” I suggested anxiously.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you happen to know that girl, Cecilie Safford, that Broadhurst's trainer, Murchie, eloped with? ’ ” he asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you know the new wireless operator who goes with us tonight? ” asked one.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you know what I ’ve just heard? ” she asked at length, then scarcely pausing for a word of en- couragement from him, she went on.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you know? ” “ No one seems to know.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you remember that bottle I picked up last night?
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you suppose she is as intimate with Creighton as she implies? ” Kennedy shook his head.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you suppose vibration caused it? ” I asked, remembering his watch crystal test.
osu.32435018368191	“ Do you think it is possible for an owner to make a financial success of racing without betting? ” I asked Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ Does Mrs. Seabury herself understand it? ” he mused, only half speaking to me.
osu.32435018368191	“ Dope?
osu.32435018368191	“ Doped? ” interjected McGee quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Electrolysis? ” I repeated mechanically.
osu.32435018368191	“ Forsythe& Co.? ” considered Burke.
osu.32435018368191	“ Friends of his? ” he asked, in a confidential tone.
osu.32435018368191	“ Had n’t we better warn her? ” I asked Craig, who had paused in his work at the sound of voices.
osu.32435018368191	“ Have you communicated with the Baroness? ” he asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ Have you found anything definite? ” I asked anxiously.
osu.32435018368191	“ Have you found anything yet? ” I asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ Have you found anything? ” he asked eagerly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Have you heard anything new? ” She did not answer directly, but silently handed him a yellow slip of paper.
osu.32435018368191	“ Have you the letter here? ” asked Craig quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Hello — oh, Miss Tourville, how do you do?
osu.32435018368191	“ How about that other little woman we saw? ” sug- gested Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ How about the other admirers? ” asked Craig quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ How about those things you found in the maid ’s room? ” I asked at length.
osu.32435018368191	“ How can I ever thank you? ” she exclaimed, extending her hand impulsively.
osu.32435018368191	“ How did you become interested in this perpetual motion machine, Miss Laidlaw? ” he asked as we threaded our way through the dense traffic.
osu.32435018368191	“ How did you find it out? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435018368191	“ How do you figure that woman out? ” I queried at length.
osu.32435018368191	“ How was she discovered? ” “ Why, Miss Hoffman found her, ” replied the purser quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ I have found out that he was introduced by one of the “ war brokers ’ to a Madame Daphne Dupres. ” “ And she? ” Leslie shook his head.
osu.32435018368191	“ I hope you ’ll excuse me? ” asked the Countess a moment later.
osu.32435018368191	“ I suppose you have animals here for experiment? ” he asked of Leslie.
osu.32435018368191	“ I suppose you have heard of the famous “ Fête du Printemps, ” by Watteau? ” Kennedy nodded vaguely.
osu.32435018368191	“ I suppose you know that I have a country estate not far from my daughter? ” He paused.
osu.32435018368191	“ I wonder if he's waiting for her? ” We did not have long to wait.
osu.32435018368191	“ I wonder what he dropped in for? ” I remarked.
osu.32435018368191	“ In THE MECHANICAL CONNOISSEUR 187 what is Mr. Morehouse most interested?
osu.32435018368191	“ Is that detectaphone thing out of business now? ” he asked, hoarsely.
osu.32435018368191	“ It could not be delivered to a woman who was once the maid of Rawaruska, the Russian dancer? ” Craig asked abruptly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Just what is this force you call vibrodyne? ” asked Craig, gazing about at the curious litter of para- phernalia in the shop.
osu.32435018368191	“ May I look around? ” “ Certainement,-avec plaisir, M'sieur, ” welcomed the suave dealer, with both hands interlocked.
osu.32435018368191	“ May I use your telephone? ” She had to wait some time for an answer to her call, but finally she got Creighton on the wire.
osu.32435018368191	“ May there not be molecular, atomic, even ionic forces of which we have not dreamed?
osu.32435018368191	“ Meanwhile, I may have the key,.. I suppose? ” He had paid a good deposit and the key was readily forthcoming.
osu.32435018368191	“ Might I photograph some of the things here to show Mr. Morehouse? ” asked Craig a moment later.
osu.32435018368191	“ Miss Tourville's, also? ” queries Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ Must pay — we'll never get anything on you? ” Craig repeated after a few moments further parley.
osu.32435018368191	“ Narcophin? ” I repeated.
osu.32435018368191	“ No one sus- pects? ” ‘ ‘ No.
osu.32435018368191	“ None of your damned insolence! ” he ground out, then paused, cutting the next remark short as he gritted, “ What do you mean?
osu.32435018368191	“ Nothing? ” coolly retorted Sherburne.
osu.32435018368191	“ Now I — I fear that my THE CANCER HOUSE 263 would — how could I ever thank you?
osu.32435018368191	“ Oh, Mr. Jameson, ” I heard Mrs. Ferris ’s voice calling over long distance from Briar Lake anxiously, “ is Mr. Kennedy there?
osu.32435018368191	“ Oh, ca n’t you help me find Nikola? ” she pleaded.
osu.32435018368191	“ She seems to be out of town. ” “ And madame — has she any idea where she is? ” Haynes shook his head.
osu.32435018368191	“ So — you are a detective? ” sneered Sherburne superciliously, elevating his eyebrows just the fraction of an inch.
osu.32435018368191	“ Someone might have lowered the trunk from the window by a rope, might they not? ” he asked simply.
osu.32435018368191	“ Still, burial alive is hardly likely among civilized 312 THE SOCIAL GANGSTER How could it be done?
osu.32435018368191	“ Surrounded by all this junk that may blow us to kingdom come any sec- ond? ” I demanded.
osu.32435018368191	“ That holder? ” 28 THE SOCIAL GANGSTER “ Yes.
osu.32435018368191	“ That? ” reassured Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ The person whom you suspected, ” he repeated firmly, “ is innocent! ” THE SERUM TIAGNOSIS 57 “ Sherburne, you say? ” he repeated.
osu.32435018368191	“ The weed of madness? ” I repeated.
osu.32435018368191	“ There ’s a woman — what?
osu.32435018368191	“ Walter, ” he said finally with a twinkle of the eye, “ I wish you ’d go out and find me a cat. ” “ A cat? ” I repeated.
osu.32435018368191	“ War brokers? ” queried Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ Was anyone associated with Delaney in the syn- dicate here? ” inquired Craig as we settled ourselves in Dr. Leslie ’s car.
osu.32435018368191	“ Was he poisoned?
osu.32435018368191	“ Was it one of Anita Allison ’s many admirers who did this thing? ” Craig asked suddenly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Well, are you ready for them? ” I asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ Were there any other people on the boat who might be worth watching? ” he asked as we rejoined Burke, who was looking about at the gaping crowd.
osu.32435018368191	“ Were there any others? ” “ Haynes has n’t been proof against their wiles, ” answered the coroner.
osu.32435018368191	“ What In0- tive would there be? ”"Darius Moreton is"y intimate With a Certain Person, ”* eturned"igmatically.
osu.32435018368191	“ What are you doing? ” I asked, looking curiously also at an arrangement, like a microphone, which he had placed over his ears.
osu.32435018368191	“ What did cause them, then? ” I asked, mystified.
osu.32435018368191	“ What did you do? ” I asked, as Craig rejoined me a few moments later.
osu.32435018368191	“ What did you say?
osu.32435018368191	“ What do they show to an expert? ” I asked, perplexed.
osu.32435018368191	“ What do you suppose he has done with the motor? ’ ’ asked Adele.
osu.32435018368191	“ What do you think it is? ” I asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ What do you think of Creighton ’s motor? ” opened Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ What has happened? ” Through his gag, which she had loosened a bit, he made a peculiar, gurgling noise.
osu.32435018368191	“ What have you found? ” I queried.
osu.32435018368191	“ What have you there? ” I asked Kennedy, careful that no one else could overhear us.
osu.32435018368191	“ What is he — a Hungarian or a Servian? ” I asked quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ What is it? ” I asked in amazement, turning to Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ What is it? ” gasped Seabury hoarsely, leaning over close.
osu.32435018368191	“ What is that? ” “ A derivative of opium — morphine.
osu.32435018368191	“ What is the case, Doctor? ’ ’ queried Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ What is the curse of Mansiche? ” asked Kennedy at length.
osu.32435018368191	“ What was it? ” I asked eagerly as he hung up the receiver.
osu.32435018368191	“ What was it? ” I asked finally as he pulled the receivers off his head and stood for a moment, con- sidering.

osu.32435018368191	“ What ’s the matter? ’ ’ asked Kennedy anxiously.
osu.32435018368191	“ What ’s the matter? ” she interrupted in the mid- dle of my explanation, indicating Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ What's doing now? ” “ A great deal, I think, ’ ’ returned Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ What's that? ” I queried, mystified at his actions.
osu.32435018368191	“ What's the matter? ” inquired Craig, eyeing him searchingly.
osu.32435018368191	“ What's the use of that? ” I queried.
osu.32435018368191	“ What's this? ” “ One of the new quartz lens spectroscopes used by Dr. Dobbie of the English Government laboratories, ” he answered briefly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Where can I see Gloria? ” asked Kennedy finally.
osu.32435018368191	“ Where did you put them? ” asked a voice.
osu.32435018368191	“ Where is my husband? ” she demanded, running to him.
osu.32435018368191	“ Where is the body? ’ ’ asked Kennedy, to get her mind off whatever hung like an incubus over it.
osu.32435018368191	“ Where was Benson ’s room? ” The chef led the way to the door, that by which we had gone out before when we had seen the rubbish barrels.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who are these rapid youngsters? ” asked Craig gently.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who are they all, do you suppose? ” I queried.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who found her? ” asked Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who is he? ” asked Craig, as though we had never heard of him.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who is she? ” asked Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who recommended you? ” he asked casually.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who was it that went out? ” he shouted into her face.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who was it? ” he asked, “ Madame Dupres? ” Haynes did not hesitate.
osu.32435018368191	“ Who was it? ” he asked, “ Madame Dupres? ” Haynes did not hesitate.
osu.32435018368191	“ Whose car was that? ” asked Craig quickly.
osu.32435018368191	“ Whose shop is that? ” asked Kennedy, indicating the door.
osu.32435018368191	“ Why did you suppose I let them go? ” he explained under his breath, as we retreated to the angle again.
osu.32435018368191	“ Why do you suppose he went to all that trouble? ” Gaskell shrugged his shoulders and averted his eyes.
osu.32435018368191	“ Why not?
osu.32435018368191	“ Why not? ” “ Oh — I — I am just afraid — that ’s all. ” There was real fear in her tone and face now, fear for herself.
osu.32435018368191	“ Why should she have taken it? ” I considered.
osu.32435018368191	“ Why that anxiety from him?
osu.32435018368191	“ Why, do n’t you understand?
osu.32435018368191	“ Why, what do you mean? ” “ I ca n’t tell you — here, ” he replied.
osu.32435018368191	“ Why, what ’s the matter? ” asked Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ Would you mind baring your arm a moment? ” he asked Seabury.
osu.32435018368191	“ Yes — I can do that — do n’t you think it is risky?
osu.32435018368191	“ Yes, ” said Burke, in surprise, “ do you know anything about him? ” I turned to Kennedy.
osu.32435018368191	“ Yes. ” “ Absolutely? ” “ Absolutely. ” 99 100 THE SOCIAL GANGSTER Gaskell leaned over.
osu.32435018368191	“ You are Professor Kennedy, the detective? ” he began, more as if asserting it than asking the ques- tion.
osu.32435018368191	“ You assume, then, that it was the blow that killed Evans? ” asked Kennedy pointedly.
osu.32435018368191	“ You ca n’t make up your mind which one you care for most, then?
osu.32435018368191	“ You do n’t know anything more about her — where she came from — her connections? ” added Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ You knew her, of course? ” added Craig.
osu.32435018368191	“ You know Mrs. Barry ’s number? ” he asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ You mean Castine? ” 305 306 THE SOCIAL GANGSTER “ Yes, ’ ’ she replied, avoiding the use of his name.
osu.32435018368191	“ You mean, do I believe her story — of her relations with this fellow, Sherbourne? ” he returned, thoughtfully.
osu.32435018368191	“ You remember how Gloria seemed to stand in fear of Du Mond?
osu.32435018368191	“ You say you have never written a line to the fel- low nor he to you? ” he asked.
osu.32435018368191	“ You will think over my proposition? ” asked Jacot, as we left.
osu.32435018368191	“ You ’ve heard of anthrax? ” he asked simply.
osu.32435018368191	“ You ’ve seen it, I suppose? ” “ Oh, yes, ” he replied quickly and jerkily.
osu.32435018368191	“ Your husband was not a reservist of any of the countries at war, was he? ” “ No — he was first of all a scientist.

osu.32435017956749	Then what?
osu.32435017956749	Then: “ It was two o'clock you heard strike? ” It was hardly a question, rather a statement.
osu.32435017956749	Therefore which one?
osu.32435017956749	They got in it and drove away. ” “ When did they return? ” inquired the detective.

osu.32435017956749	“ Did I tell you that this car had four people in it? ” “ Four people! ” exclaimed the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did Mr. and Mrs. Morey employ any servants? ” “ No, ” was the reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did he come in at all last night? ” “ Yes, Madam.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did it work? ” “ It worked, ” replied The Thinking Machine enig- matically.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did n't Knight do it? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did that man die of heart failure? ” he asked, flatly.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did you ever read this? ” and he held up the copy of “ Les Misera- bles. ” “ I do n’t read French well enough, ” she replied.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did you kill him, Tennell? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Did your wife get away with it? ” From the question Dolan surmised that she had not been arrested.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do n’t you feel well? ” He pulled himself together with a start and for a time they chatted of inconsequential things as she ate.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you believe in any psychic force? ” Varick asked once.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you have any idea where it is? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you im- agine there is a crime then? ” Professor Van Dusen did n’t heed the question.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you know it?
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you know the purposes of chess?
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you know what time you saw me there? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you know who — who did it? ” she asked at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you read much? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Do you remember me? ” inquired the prisoner.
osu.32435017956749	“ Does it happen that you know whether or not Miss Oliver ever had any other love affair? ” “ Certainly not, ” exclaimed the young man, hotly.
osu.32435017956749	“ Does there happen to be a hypnotist connected with the company? ” “ I do n’t know, ” Hatch replied.
osu.32435017956749	“ Exclusive opportunity and all that?
osu.32435017956749	“ Feel any better? ” inquired the dentist, at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ HOW? ” he began.
osu.32435017956749	“ Has Mrs. van Safford returned? ” was his first ques- tion of Baxter, who opened the door.
osu.32435017956749	“ Has there been an autopsy yet? ” he asked at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ Have you any cause to suspect anyone but Ten- nell, Captain? ” inquired The Thinking Machine.
osu.32435017956749	“ Have you any record anywhere of that combina- tion? ” he inquired.
osu.32435017956749	“ Have you any servants — a valet for instance? ” asked the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ Have you ever traveled in Europe? ” “ I was there for nearly a year.
osu.32435017956749	“ Having a fit? ” snapped the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ He can read the visions — they mean** more to him than “ In other words he makes it a profession? ” inter- rupted the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ He is tall and dark, with a heavy mustache, is n’t he? ” “ Yes, ” replied the Captain.
osu.32435017956749	“ He wo n’t say what's the matter. ” “ Wants me? ” inquired Dr. Maher.
osu.32435017956749	“ Her heart? ” he asked at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ How P Why? ” “ Morey killed her, ” said The Thinking Machine flatly, and he produced two other photographs from his pocket.
osu.32435017956749	“ How did that work?
osu.32435017956749	“ How did you remove the jewels from the setting? ” asked The Thinking Machine, still quietly.
osu.32435017956749	“ How fast can you ride, Mr. Thalhauer? ” he asked at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ How long has — has he been dead? ” “ Perhaps ten minutes — certainly not more than 5 twenty, ” was the surgeon's reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ How long have you been married? ” “ Two years — last June. ” “ Most remarkable, ” supplemented the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ How long was she here? ” he asked at the end.
osu.32435017956749	“ How many pieces of candy are out of the box? ” “ Only three, ” explained Hatch.
osu.32435017956749	“ How many pieces of the candy did you eat? ” “ Two, ” said the girl.
osu.32435017956749	“ How much money did you intend to leave Singh? ” “ About two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, ” was the reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ How old are you? ” “ Thirty. ” “ How long have you been thirty? ” “ Six months — since last May. ” There was a long pause.
osu.32435017956749	“ How old are you? ” “ Thirty. ” “ How long have you been thirty? ” “ Six months — since last May. ” There was a long pause.
osu.32435017956749	“ How old is your wife? ” demanded the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ How was Miss Wallack dressed at the time of her disappearance? ” “ In doublet and hose — that is, tights, ” the news- paper man responded.
osu.32435017956749	“ I could not hope, of course, to realize anything like the actual value of the substance — a million perhaps?
osu.32435017956749	“ I did not re- member that you understood my language. ” “ What is it? ” insisted Varick, abruptly.
osu.32435017956749	“ I do n’t suppose you ’ll try to put a crimp in me this time? ” he asked jovially.
osu.32435017956749	“ I guess it ’s good for a four column head?
osu.32435017956749	“ I had an impression, ” he said deliberately, “ that you saw her yesterday — that you went shopping together? ” “ Goodness, no.
osu.32435017956749	“ I hope, ” ventured the Professor at last, “ that you do not believe it was any fault of mine? ” The Thinking Machine did not say.
osu.32435017956749	“ I presume Knight denies that he killed Miss Oliver? ” “ Naturally. ” “ And where is the stiletto that belongs to his cane?
osu.32435017956749	“ I presume Knight denies that he killed Miss Oliver? ” “ Naturally. ” “ And where is the stiletto that belongs to his cane?
osu.32435017956749	“ I presume your office has the book “ Who ’s Who In The Motor Boat 15 America?
osu.32435017956749	“ I sat here facing her. ” “ You know that she did not enter the laboratory? ” “ I know it, yes, ” replied Professor Dexter promptly.
osu.32435017956749	“ I should like to have it amputated at the first joint, please. ” “ Amputated? ” gasped Dr. Prescott.
osu.32435017956749	“ I suppose Hatch has told you the grounds of the arrest? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ I suppose what you really want to learn is if the car is a — a material one, and to whom it belongs? ” he queried.
osu.32435017956749	“ If I The Superfluous Finger 315 should shoot the finger off you would consent to dress the wound?
osu.32435017956749	“ If somnambulism, then who was the somnambulist? ” The Thinking Machine resumed after a moment.
osu.32435017956749	“ If you do object of course do n’t answer. ” “ Well? ” demanded the prisoner.
osu.32435017956749	“ Ill? ” he repeated.
osu.32435017956749	“ In Boston, I presume. ” “ You have n’t seen him since the night of the ball? ” “ No.
osu.32435017956749	“ Indeed?
osu.32435017956749	“ Is Miss Wallack still in the trunk? ” he asked at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is Mr.—Mr.—oh, what's his name? ” and The Thinking Machine snapped his fingers as if trying to remember.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is Mrs. van Safford in? ” he inquired of Baxter, who opened the door.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is Mrs. van Safford there? ” he inquired of Baxter.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is anything else necessary? ” he inquired courte- ously.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is he anything of a joker? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is it in the crystal? ” “ Yes, by the grace of the gods. ” “ But I ca n’t see anything there. ” Varick remembered.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is it in your flat? ” “ Downey and Cunningham are searching now, ” was the rejoinder.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is it serious?
osu.32435017956749	“ Is it true, Captain? ” she demanded.
osu.32435017956749	“ Is this the boat house I see from this window? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
osu.32435017956749	“ It came down to this: How could one hundred and seventy- two pearls be transferred from a boat forty miles at sea to a safe place ashore?
osu.32435017956749	“ It may not be possible to send it at all. ” “ Why? ” demanded Miss Bellingdame.
osu.32435017956749	“ It will be just five thousand dollars. ” “ Five thousand dollars? ” exclaimed Mr. van Saf- ford.
osu.32435017956749	“ Just how did he get that? ” “ It was when he fell down, ” continued the Japanese.
osu.32435017956749	“ Just where in Italy did you buy that stiletto cane? ” was the next question.
osu.32435017956749	“ Leighton there? ” was Conway's first question.
osu.32435017956749	“ Light machine? ” Hatch repeated.
osu.32435017956749	“ Married? ” she repeated absently.
osu.32435017956749	“ May I ask your name? ” “ My name is of no consequence, ” she replied calmly.
osu.32435017956749	“ May I see the stiletto and cane? ” he asked instead.
osu.32435017956749	“ Miss Manning, can you understand me? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Murder by an extraordinary method. ” “ Who — who is the man P. How was he killed? ” asked Hatch.
osu.32435017956749	“ My brother? ” she asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Never a touch of it. ” “ How often have you consulted Mr. Singh? ” “ Many times.
osu.32435017956749	“ No! ” “ But it is your knife? ” “ It would be useless for me to deny it, sir, ” replied the first officer, and he rose.
osu.32435017956749	“ No, honorable lady. ” “ Will you go yourself and see? ” Osaka bowed low and left the room, closing the door gently behind him.
osu.32435017956749	“ No, never. ” “ Does she — did she — ever speculate? ” Mr. van Safford sat down again.
osu.32435017956749	“ Nothing at all until the company's baggage was removed at midnight. ” “ Miss Wallack had two trunks in her dressing room? ”- “ Yes.
osu.32435017956749	“ Now just what have you or the police learned as to him?
osu.32435017956749	“ Now, Captain Deihl, and you, Dr. Maher, have you formed any opinion as to the exact method of the murder?
osu.32435017956749	“ Now, Mr. Varick, you are firmly convinced that what you saw was prophetic?
osu.32435017956749	“ Nutty old guy, ai n’t he?
osu.32435017956749	“ Of course you had some correspondence with her about this work? ” “ I know her writing, yes, ” was the reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ Oh, that was it? ” inquired The Thinking Ma- chine curiously as if some question in his own mind had been settled.
osu.32435017956749	“ Osaka, do you know if Mr. Dudley's motor boat is in the boat house? ” she asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Osaka? ” he asked softly.
osu.32435017956749	“ Per- haps you had rather see for yourself? ” “ Well, let me see then, ” said Varick.
osu.32435017956749	“ Shall I take your card? ” “ No, it is n't necessary, ” replied The Thinking Machine.
osu.32435017956749	“ She did n’t steal those diamonds. ” “ How do you know? ” asked The Thinking Machine coldly.
osu.32435017956749	“ She never did such a thing before? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ She would n't know one stock from another. ” “ Has her own bank account? ” “ Yes — nearly four hundred thousand dollars.
osu.32435017956749	“ Shoot it off? ” he repeated.
osu.32435017956749	“ Somebody hurt? ” “ I do n’t know.
osu.32435017956749	“ Special pictures posed by the champion?
osu.32435017956749	“ Stole? ” exclaimed Mme.
osu.32435017956749	“ Stole? ” “ That's the word I used, ” said The Thinking Ma- chine almost pleasantly.
osu.32435017956749	“ That Mr. Thalhauer is really a marvelous young man, Mr. Hatch, do n’t you think? ” 262 The Thinking Machine on the Case he had started early.
osu.32435017956749	“ That long, low build- ing with the light over the door? ” “ Yes, ” replied Mrs. Dudley.
osu.32435017956749	“ That you, Downey? ” Dolan inquired.
osu.32435017956749	“ That's a silly ending to a cracking good mystery, is n’t it? ” Ten minutes later Mr. and Mrs. van Safford entered the room.
osu.32435017956749	“ That's clear, is n’t it?
osu.32435017956749	“ The calling of the police means that Eleanor did not kill herself? ” asked the young man.
osu.32435017956749	“ The crystal tells me of danger. ” “ Danger? ” repeated Varick with a slight lifting of his brows.
osu.32435017956749	“ The gentleman said it was very important, ” Martha explained, “ and the poor lady was crying. ” “ What about? ” snapped the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ The method?
osu.32435017956749	“ The sooner I get two years the sooner you get it. ”- “ How could it be — be fixed? ” “ I ’ll leave that to you. ” That was all.
osu.32435017956749	“ Then what?
osu.32435017956749	“ Then where are the jewels? ” Mrs. Roswell de- manded.
osu.32435017956749	“ Then — what poison?
osu.32435017956749	“ There has never been any sort of a quarrel- serious or otherwise between you and Miss Oliver? ” 5\ “ Never, ” was the quick response.
osu.32435017956749	“ There's no doubt about it at all in your mind? ” inquired the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ This is Mrs. Morey beyond any question? ” The answer was a chorus of affirmation accompanied by some startling facial expressions.
osu.32435017956749	“ Was she dead? ” interrupted the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ Was the door locked? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well, Adhem? ” inquired Varick.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well, ca n’t it be sent after the accident has been repaired? ” she asked at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well, for ten thousand then? ” she asked, quite casually.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well?
osu.32435017956749	“ Well? ” Baker responded.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well? ” asked The Thinking Machine at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well? ” demanded The Thinking Machine, quer- ulously.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well? ” demanded the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Well? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017956749	“ Were you on the stage in the third act of your play before Miss Wallack was to appear — I mean the play last Saturday night? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ What are your orders, sir? ” inquired the first officer steadily.
osu.32435017956749	“ What did you bring her here for then?
osu.32435017956749	“ What do you make of it? ” demanded the surgeon.
osu.32435017956749	“ What do you mean? ” Adhem was silent for a moment and bowed his head respectfully before the steady, inquiring gaze of the white IIlan.
osu.32435017956749	“ What happened? ” Hatch insisted.
osu.32435017956749	“ What happened? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ What is all this, Mr. Tennell? ” demanded Cap- tain Deihl at last.
osu.32435017956749	“ What is it? ” asked Hatch anxiously as they once more took their seats in the cab.
osu.32435017956749	“ What is it? ” came a man ’s voice from inside.
osu.32435017956749	“ What is it? ” she demanded in sudden terror.
osu.32435017956749	“ What is it? ” ventured Hatch.
osu.32435017956749	“ What sort of a clock was that you mentioned? ” “ An electric clock, regulated from Washington Observatory, ” was the reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ What sort of a game is this, Mallory? ” demanded the prisoner.
osu.32435017956749	“ What sort of eyes has Mason?
osu.32435017956749	“ What time was he here? ” “ About half past eleven, I should say.
osu.32435017956749	“ What was the matter? ” “ That I ca n’t say, ” replied the reporter.
osu.32435017956749	“ What ’s the matter with it? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ What're you doing with her? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017956749	“ What's the matter, Mr. Tennell? ” demanded the Captain brusquely.
osu.32435017956749	“ What? ” Then, after a pause: “ I beg your pardon, sir.
osu.32435017956749	“ What? ” he demanded abruptly.
osu.32435017956749	“ What? ” “ It will be no, ” was the positive reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ Where are the two stones that are missing? ” “ Oh yes, ” said The Thinking Machine easily, as if that trivial point had escaped him.
osu.32435017956749	“ Where are you going, my dear? ” he inquired, lan- guidly.
osu.32435017956749	“ Where is she?
osu.32435017956749	“ Where is the candy now? ” demanded the scientist.
osu.32435017956749	“ Where is the knife? ” “ I have it, ” replied Dr. Brander.
osu.32435017956749	“ Where is your clock? ” he inquired of the elevator IIlan.
osu.32435017956749	“ Which tooth is it? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Who could have killed him?
osu.32435017956749	“ Who is that? ” came another query.
osu.32435017956749	“ Who is the murderer? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Who ’s there? ” came from inside.
osu.32435017956749	“ Who?
osu.32435017956749	“ Why did she do it? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why did you want to know what was the matter with Miss Blakesley? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why do you come to me? ” Captain Deihl's bronzed face reddened as if he was embarrassed, and he cleared his throat.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why do you want it off? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why? ” retorted The Thinking Machine.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why? ” “ Can you tell me just where your husband is? ” The Thinking Machine squinted at her in that aggressive way which was habitual.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why? ” “ Can you tell me just where your husband is? ” The Thinking Machine squinted at her in that aggressive way which was habitual.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why? ” “ Is your wife in now? ” “ No.
osu.32435017956749	“ Why? ” “ Is your wife in now? ” “ No.
osu.32435017956749	“ Yes, yes. ” The Crystal Gazer 57 “ A very serious shock? ” Again there was an impatient twist of Varick's shoulders.
osu.32435017956749	“ Yes?
osu.32435017956749	“ You did n’t count the strokes? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ You do n’t sleep well, Miss Roswell? ” asked The Thinking Machine.
osu.32435017956749	“ You have never played chess before? ” he asked.
osu.32435017956749	“ You have never quarreled seriously? ” “ Never one cross word, ” was the reply.
osu.32435017956749	“ You have not seen a newspaper for several days? ” asked The Thinking Machine, abruptly.
osu.32435017956749	“ You know Dr. Sitgreaves of course?
osu.32435017956749	“ You know her per- sonally? ” Hatch shook his head.
osu.32435017956749	“ You know where they are? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017956749	“ You know whose knife it is then? ” asked the Cap- tain finally.
osu.32435017956749	“ You ride the bicycle? ” inquired the crusty little scientist.
osu.32435017952672	- Were they observed, then?
osu.32435017952672	- What then had this fellow to offer ruined gamesters?

osu.32435017952672	A thought struck him like a shot: was she detaining him while sending for the police?
osu.32435017952672	After an instant of hesitation, she proceeded bluntly: “ You, I presume, know who I am? ” “ Madame la Princesse — ” he began.

osu.32435017952672	“ Have ye lost heart entirely, man?
osu.32435017952672	“ Have ye news of her? ” “ No word, ” replied Chambret.
osu.32435017952672	“ Have ye not stated it, yourself — the reason why the thing's impossible, me friend?
osu.32435017952672	“ He received the decoration of the Legion of Honor, I believe?
osu.32435017952672	“ Here? ” she announced, waiting expectantly, quivering with anxiety and pity.
osu.32435017952672	“ How long? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017952672	“ How wags the world with ye? ”[ 189] Terence O’Rourke, Gentleman Adventurer “ As ever — indifferently well.
osu.32435017952672	“ I do not comprehend. ” “ Ye’ve never heard of the Tawareks, monsieur?
osu.32435017952672	“ I do not mean that, ” she interrupted; “ but before my marriage —? ” “ No — ” he dubitated.
osu.32435017952672	“ I gather ye are not be way of liking Monsieur le Prince? ” “ I — I do not like him, as you say.
osu.32435017952672	“ I ’ve heard she is beautiful? ” he insinuated.
osu.32435017952672	“ If I can be of any service in return –? ” he floundered in his desperation.
osu.32435017952672	“ If you are really Colonel O’Rourke? ”[ 265] Terence O’Rourke, Gentleman Adventurer “ I am that, ” he declared.
osu.32435017952672	“ In what way? ” demanded O'Rourke, on his dignity in an instant.
osu.32435017952672	“ Is it possible, ” he inquired aloud, “ that me friend with the Vandyke beard is after me, with his nefarious designs, now?
osu.32435017952672	“ Is it so, indeed? ” O’Rourke sat down, favoring the Frenchman with a sharply inquiring glance.
osu.32435017952672	“ Is she happy?
osu.32435017952672	“ Is that the truth? ” he demanded fiercely.
osu.32435017952672	“ It is not that m'sieur is himself M'sieur le Colonel? ” she cried, putting a discreet distance between them.
osu.32435017952672	“ Let ’s see – where was I?
osu.32435017952672	“ Let's see, this is your proposition: First, we play an innocent game of cards; then one of us commits a murder?
osu.32435017952672	“ Lies the wind that way, d'ye tell me?
osu.32435017952672	“ M'sieur has traveled far? ” she would know, standing with lowered lashes, her slender fingers playing diffidently with a fold of her apron.
osu.32435017952672	“ Madame –? ” Chambret laughed lightly.
osu.32435017952672	“ May I inquire how you elbowed your way in here? ” “ ” Tis easy enough; I ’ve no objection to telling ye.
osu.32435017952672	“ Monsieur Chambret? ” he iterated vaguely.
osu.32435017952672	“ Monsieur has insulted me?
osu.32435017952672	“ Monsieur le Prince? ” he asked, in a low tone, nodding significantly toward the companionway.
osu.32435017952672	“ Monsieur le Prince? ” “ You have said it, monsieur. ” The Irishman snapped his fingers angrily.
osu.32435017952672	“ Monsieur, ” he commanded rudely, “ get up and dress yourself. ” “ What — what's trouble, O’Rourke?
osu.32435017952672	“ Must I move to escape their infernal chatter?
osu.32435017952672	“ Non, monsieur le commandant l ” “ Ye are ready to follow me, at me command? ” The shout swelled to a roar.
osu.32435017952672	“ Not what, if ye please? ” “ Rich, let us say; monsieur feels his losses of to- night — ” “ He does?
osu.32435017952672	“ Not what, if ye please? ” “ Rich, let us say; monsieur feels his losses of to- night — ” “ He does?
osu.32435017952672	“ Now, what are you going to do with people that behave that way? ” he asked.
osu.32435017952672	“ Now, what is it that I misremember?
osu.32435017952672	“ Of what is monsieur accused, that he should defend him- self? ” inquired O'Rourke politely.
osu.32435017952672	“ Pardon, ” he said, in French; “ Colonel O'Rourke, I believe? ” The Irishman came out of his abstraction with a start.
osu.32435017952672	“ Pardon, ” he said, “ but is not that the coast of the Sahara?
osu.32435017952672	“ Perhaps you are in need of money?
osu.32435017952672	“ Possibly — who can tell?
osu.32435017952672	“ Simple? ” he echoed.
osu.32435017952672	“ So I ’ve been ar- rested, have I?
osu.32435017952672	“ So near? ” “ In two hours, monsieur, we make the coast. ” “ Yes — yes, ” responded Lemercier, devouring the map — his future empire!
osu.32435017952672	“ So, then, I have made no mistake, after all?
osu.32435017952672	“ Tawareks?
osu.32435017952672	“ Tell me, ” she continued in another tone, “ were you followed? ” “ To me knowledge?
osu.32435017952672	“ Tell me, ” she continued in another tone, “ were you followed? ” “ To me knowledge?
osu.32435017952672	“ That I loved her?
osu.32435017952672	“ The Count of Seyn- Alt- berg? ” he asked.
osu.32435017952672	“ The Eirene?
osu.32435017952672	“ The way out? ” he asked.
osu.32435017952672	“ Then, ” returned Chambret, delicately ironical, “ I shall be pleased to leave you to your — devices — shall we call them?
osu.32435017952672	“ There is a switch on the right- hand wall, near the window. ” “ Where did you say? ” he inquired, groping about blindly.
osu.32435017952672	“ Three men have been slain, and one is missing. ” “ Three slain?
osu.32435017952672	“ Three, is it? ” he cried.
osu.32435017952672	“ Time? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017952672	“ To be of service to ye, mademoiselle?
osu.32435017952672	“ To be plain, ” he faltered, “ to be frank with you, I — I love madame. ” “ And she? ” persisted O'Rourke.
osu.32435017952672	“ To make amends? ” he broke in eagerly.
osu.32435017952672	“ Twenty- five years of age, eh? ” he commented inwardly.
osu.32435017952672	“ Unchanged — even as yourself, Chambret. ” “ The same wild Irishman? ” “ Faith, yes! ” returned O'Rourke.
osu.32435017952672	“ Under what name did she register?
osu.32435017952672	“ Well, ” continued the Russian impatiently, “ if this is so, what do you think? ”- “ Eh- yah! ” yawned the Irishman.
osu.32435017952672	“ Well, ” he said doggedly, “ what do you purpose doing about it? ” “ This is my affair, ” interposed Chambret.
osu.32435017952672	“ Well?
osu.32435017952672	“ Well? ” he said.
osu.32435017952672	“ Well? ” inquired O'Rourke impatiently.
osu.32435017952672	“ What Of that? ” O'Rourke made no verbal reply.
osu.32435017952672	“ What are you about, monsieur? ” he demanded angrily.
osu.32435017952672	“ What do you mean, monsieur?
osu.32435017952672	“ What do you mean? ” She caught him by the sleeve as he turned away.
osu.32435017952672	“ What do you mean? ” he cried.
osu.32435017952672	“ What does all this mean, can ye tell me?
osu.32435017952672	“ What does he say, Soly? ” inquired the Irishman, turning to the guest.
osu.32435017952672	“ What does m'sieur mean? ” he would know.
osu.32435017952672	“ What does this mean? ” he demanded furiously.
osu.32435017952672	“ What is he driving at now, d'ye think?
osu.32435017952672	“ What language is it you speak, m'sieur? ” he asked peremptorily.
osu.32435017952672	“ What name? ” Senet demanded hoarsely.
osu.32435017952672	“ What's in a kiss, me dear?
osu.32435017952672	“ What?
osu.32435017952672	“ What? ” demanded O'Rourke audaciously.
osu.32435017952672	“ What? ” he stammered.
osu.32435017952672	“ Where are we? ” he asked.
osu.32435017952672	“ Where are ye quartered? ” They indicated a side street.
osu.32435017952672	“ Where did ye find this man? ” he asked briskly.
osu.32435017952672	“ Where is he? ” “ How the divvle would I be knowing?
osu.32435017952672	“ Where is he? ” “ How the divvle would I be knowing?
osu.32435017952672	“ Where is she, Chambret?
osu.32435017952672	“ Where?
osu.32435017952672	“ Which posts? ” he demanded sternly.
osu.32435017952672	“ Who are you? ” she demanded.
osu.32435017952672	“ Who can say? ” he deprecated.
osu.32435017952672	“ Who d'ye think ye are, to be wallowing there and making the night hideous with the snoring of ye?
osu.32435017952672	“ Why have you not called upon me, mon ami, if you were in need? ” “ Sure, ’ twas nothing as bad as that.
osu.32435017952672	“ Will monsieur please to repeat those words? ” he re- quested, with ceremony.
osu.32435017952672	“ Without obtaining permission from Monsieur le Prince? ” inquired Chambret respectfully.
osu.32435017952672	“ Ye have scruples, then? ” he gibed.
osu.32435017952672	“ Ye knew the landlord, madame? ” he asked, to take her mind from more serious matters.
osu.32435017952672	“ Ye know me? ” he demanded.
osu.32435017952672	“ Ye were saying, ” he asked, “ that ye had been seeking me?
osu.32435017952672	“ You afford me that chance, eh? ” “ No, ” Chambret coldly negatived.
osu.32435017952672	“ You are not going, monsieur? ” “ Instantly, madame. ” “ But why — why? ” “ Madame, because me work is done here.
osu.32435017952672	“ You are not going, monsieur? ” “ Instantly, madame. ” “ But why — why? ” “ Madame, because me work is done here.
osu.32435017952672	“ You are staying here? ” he said.
osu.32435017952672	“ You are wondering what I propose to do with you, mon- sieur? ” he queried at length, in a temperate, even tone.
osu.32435017952672	“ You are — what do you say?
osu.32435017952672	“ You are, ” she changed the subject, “ pledged to no cause, monsieur? ” “ To yours alone, madame. ” She thanked him with a glance.
osu.32435017952672	“ You do not believe me? ” “ Indeed, and I do so.
osu.32435017952672	“ You do not even know where you are? ” “ No more than in Paris, ” he laughed.
osu.32435017952672	“ You here, monsieur? ” cried O'Rourke.
osu.32435017952672	“ You know that she re- tired to the Principality of Grandlieu, after little Leopold's death?
osu.32435017952672	“ You must be from Monsieur Chambret?
osu.32435017952672	“ You understand what circumstances have induced me to accede to Beatrix's absurd notion?
osu.32435017952672	“ Your captain? ” he inquired.
osu.32435017952672	“ Your majesty has the gold handy, I have no doubt? ” he suggested.
osu.32435017952672	“ Your name? ” he asked sharply.
osu.32435017952672	“ ” Tis yourself that would be the squire of dames, is it, O'Rourke? ” he said.
nyp.33433081588240	.Why, Roth, that fellow is so clever, so subtle, that —"That — what, Ken?
nyp.33433081588240	A queer complication this is going to be,he mused as he stretched himself out luxuriously,"and Merrick?
nyp.33433081588240	Accused? nyp.33433081588240 After dark?"
nyp.33433081588240	All quiet?
nyp.33433081588240	Alone?
nyp.33433081588240	Am I intruding?
nyp.33433081588240	And Doris, Mrs. Merrick, sat opposite her?
nyp.33433081588240	And Miss Glenn, she is better then, much better?
nyp.33433081588240	And Miss — Glenn?
nyp.33433081588240	And do you really intend to follow out this idea?
nyp.33433081588240	And enlarged by whom?
nyp.33433081588240	And has this been done?
nyp.33433081588240	And he, you, all of you, pronounce it suicide?
nyp.33433081588240	And her looks? nyp.33433081588240 And if so, what then?
nyp.33433081588240	And if the truth would but strike another blow at our friends?
nyp.33433081588240	And is that all?
nyp.33433081588240	And one other?
nyp.33433081588240	And she did not come down again?
nyp.33433081588240	And she said — what?
nyp.33433081588240	And that girl — can't you keep her down here upon some pretext?
nyp.33433081588240	And the cold?
nyp.33433081588240	And the outer door — that upon the hall?
nyp.33433081588240	And the pistol — your wife's pistol?
nyp.33433081588240	And then, of course, his anger cooled and he did nothing of the sort?
nyp.33433081588240	And there must have been an exchange of letters?
nyp.33433081588240	And those ailments — is his heart affected?
nyp.33433081588240	And what was that?
nyp.33433081588240	And who sent you here?
nyp.33433081588240	And why you and I — only?
nyp.33433081588240	And you believe in it?
nyp.33433081588240	And you know how to sell trees and ornamental shrub- bery?
nyp.33433081588240	And you really ca n't help me to the least hint for my guidance?
nyp.33433081588240	And you — you will not allow him to doubt you?
nyp.33433081588240	And you?
nyp.33433081588240	And your doubts — your suspicions as to Merrick — does she know of these?
nyp.33433081588240	And your wife?
nyp.33433081588240	And — did he think,she asked slowly,"that it was me?"
nyp.33433081588240	And — have you seen it since?
nyp.33433081588240	And — his coming here — was it — whose thought was it?
nyp.33433081588240	And — who saw her after that?
nyp.33433081588240	Anything I can do for you?
nyp.33433081588240	Are they all at dinner, Jennie?
nyp.33433081588240	Are we to understand,she persisted,"that Mr. Mer- rick is threatened by some contagious disease?"
nyp.33433081588240	Are you going at once? nyp.33433081588240 Are you going to refuse me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Are you sure? nyp.33433081588240 Are you sure?"
nyp.33433081588240	As how?
nyp.33433081588240	As she was found? nyp.33433081588240 As — for instance?"
nyp.33433081588240	Bless you, man, do you think I've been tramping after you? nyp.33433081588240 But how?"
nyp.33433081588240	But if you should? nyp.33433081588240 But — Glenn, I know you well — you have a suspicion — an idea?"
nyp.33433081588240	But, if you should see reasonable proof that it was not what it seems?
nyp.33433081588240	But, man alive,burst out the captain,"that letter; how did it get to the city?
nyp.33433081588240	But, tell me, how did you manage?
nyp.33433081588240	By what right do you dare to offer me that accursed weapon? nyp.33433081588240 By whom?"
nyp.33433081588240	Ca n't you give me an idea of the sort of cue I am to follow?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you bear the rest now?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you get them?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you prove that it was by her own weapon?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you spare Joe to me this evening, Captain?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you tell me anything about her illness?
nyp.33433081588240	Captain, has Merrick, to your knowledge, ever mani- fested the least desire to return to his business since his wife's death?
nyp.33433081588240	Captain, if it is not an impertinence, or a secret, may I ask who were the two strangers leaning over the rails of the south pasture this morning?
nyp.33433081588240	Captain,he asked,"shall you be driving into town to- day?"
nyp.33433081588240	Captain,he began slowly,"will you try to forget that I am young enough to be your son, and answer a few questions without comment?"
nyp.33433081588240	Certainly not; but, think — did Doris know that there was any distinguishing mark upon that pistol?
nyp.33433081588240	Could it — possibly — be murder?
nyp.33433081588240	DO YOU THINK SHE WILL LET ME SPEAK?
nyp.33433081588240	Did Eugene come?
nyp.33433081588240	Did Jasper come too?
nyp.33433081588240	Did she seem concerned — disappointed?
nyp.33433081588240	Did that fellow say Winston?
nyp.33433081588240	Did you go around?
nyp.33433081588240	Did you hear nothing, Wayland?
nyp.33433081588240	Dizzy yet, sir — of course?
nyp.33433081588240	Do I infer,said the captain,"that you have a sister, or sisters?
nyp.33433081588240	Do I not know that to my sorrow, my utter misery? nyp.33433081588240 Do I then show all my thoughts upon my face?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you believe in this — this theory, in the face of the other evidence? nyp.33433081588240 Do you know Mr. Kenneth Jasper of this place?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know anything of Merrick's plans for the future?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know these fellows?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know what it contained?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know why?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know why?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you mean all that?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you mean that they also have disappeared?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you mean to let Merrick know that you are about to open an investigation?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you mean to say that you suspect Merrick?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you need them — the keys?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you not see what they seem to imply — broken as they are? nyp.33433081588240 Do you think it is of long standing, then?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you think,he asked,"that this case could possibly require a coroner's inquest?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you think,he said, meeting her eyes again,"that she will let me speak to her?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you want such if they exist?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you want very much to go?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you?
nyp.33433081588240	Do — do you think the cap- tain or Mrs. Wayland cares — that is, that my presence at Waylands now is a — is unpleasant to them?
nyp.33433081588240	Doctor, you will help us?
nyp.33433081588240	Doctor,broke in Captain Wayland,"what about poor Merrick?
nyp.33433081588240	Doctor,said Merrick, when the usual preliminaries were over,"am I strong enough to go to the city to- morrow?"
nyp.33433081588240	Doctor,she began,"is — is Miss Doris or any one sick?"
nyp.33433081588240	Does Merrick know how?
nyp.33433081588240	Does any one?
nyp.33433081588240	Does your mother know that you are here?
nyp.33433081588240	Dressed?
nyp.33433081588240	Drugged? nyp.33433081588240 Eh?"
nyp.33433081588240	Especially that little blonde who sat in the hall upstairs the other day?
nyp.33433081588240	Eugene,said Glenn graciously,"wo n't you take this chair?"
nyp.33433081588240	Eugene? nyp.33433081588240 Ever say anything about his business?"
nyp.33433081588240	Fainted?
nyp.33433081588240	First, then, does your wife know of this?
nyp.33433081588240	Fish,he began,"are you very busy this afternoon?"
nyp.33433081588240	For Merrick?
nyp.33433081588240	For how long?
nyp.33433081588240	For instance — if you should take it into your head that the cause of death was not — heart failure?
nyp.33433081588240	For you?
nyp.33433081588240	Frankly — what ails him?
nyp.33433081588240	From where?
nyp.33433081588240	Give me the rein, will you?
nyp.33433081588240	Glenn,he said gently,"my dear girl, are you not overtaxing your strength?
nyp.33433081588240	Going to ride?
nyp.33433081588240	Got something for me?
nyp.33433081588240	Got the letter read}'?
nyp.33433081588240	H'war'ye, John?
nyp.33433081588240	Hardly needful to look where I have not been, is it?
nyp.33433081588240	Has anything happened, Cap- tain?
nyp.33433081588240	Has he been down- town since?
nyp.33433081588240	Has he breakfasted?
nyp.33433081588240	Has the midday train from town passed?
nyp.33433081588240	Have they not asked you to remain?
nyp.33433081588240	Have you any others?
nyp.33433081588240	Have you any — theory?
nyp.33433081588240	Have you forgotten that eccentric old lady? nyp.33433081588240 Have you really led him all the way, Kenneth?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you rung for Russian tea, Mrs. Wayland? nyp.33433081588240 He — he has no permanent address,"he said,"The agency?"
nyp.33433081588240	Heavy?
nyp.33433081588240	Help you with anything?
nyp.33433081588240	His?
nyp.33433081588240	How are the flowers, Glenn?
nyp.33433081588240	How dare we do aught else?
nyp.33433081588240	How did it happen?
nyp.33433081588240	How do you feel now, my child?
nyp.33433081588240	How ill? nyp.33433081588240 How is Glenn?"
nyp.33433081588240	How is Miss Wayland?
nyp.33433081588240	How is she?
nyp.33433081588240	How much do the servants know?
nyp.33433081588240	How much more?
nyp.33433081588240	How should I?
nyp.33433081588240	How so?
nyp.33433081588240	How?
nyp.33433081588240	How?
nyp.33433081588240	I am not a saint, and I should need to be one before I could love Eugene Merrick; and do you think he is the only man who suffers?
nyp.33433081588240	I believe you will; and next — can you trust either or any of your servants?
nyp.33433081588240	I do believe you; why should I not? nyp.33433081588240 I have n't denied that, have I?
nyp.33433081588240	I hope,went on Hewes,"that it wo n't disarrange your plans any, sir?
nyp.33433081588240	I may depend upon you? nyp.33433081588240 I recall now that the original had —""Is he dead?"
nyp.33433081588240	I see; and the basket stood—-where?
nyp.33433081588240	I stood in Doris Merrick's place and tried to picture her going, light- hearted and full of pleasant anticipation, to her room, and then — what? nyp.33433081588240 I suppose a letter would be too slow?"
nyp.33433081588240	I wonder if it is ended? nyp.33433081588240 I'll light mine later; just now I want to talk — and to hear you talk; and, first, what is this?"
nyp.33433081588240	I? nyp.33433081588240 I?
nyp.33433081588240	I?
nyp.33433081588240	If he, Eugene, should wish to enter those rooms again in your absence,she asked,"what shall I do?"
nyp.33433081588240	In short, you think my going to town would have brought me down?
nyp.33433081588240	In what locality?
nyp.33433081588240	Indeed—the smile that sprang to Kenneth Jasper's eyes was not permitted to reach beyond them—"and what have you discovered?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is Mr. Kenneth Jasper within?
nyp.33433081588240	Is any one likely to be in our way?
nyp.33433081588240	Is he asleep?
nyp.33433081588240	Is he at present really ill?
nyp.33433081588240	Is it a fatal dose?
nyp.33433081588240	Is it anything? nyp.33433081588240 Is it important?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is it possible for a man to produce that feverish condi- tion artificially?
nyp.33433081588240	Is it ready?
nyp.33433081588240	Is she — like — like that?
nyp.33433081588240	Is that all?
nyp.33433081588240	Is the coast clear now?
nyp.33433081588240	It's the same,he said with conviction,"and why the whiskers?
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper, is that you? nyp.33433081588240 Jasper,"he said, as the two paused instinctively just inside the study door,"how is this?
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper?
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper?
nyp.33433081588240	Jennie,he said, going to the door,"has Miss Glenn gone down?"
nyp.33433081588240	Jennie?
nyp.33433081588240	Kenneth — will you?
nyp.33433081588240	Kenneth, if you should, after all, find Glenn Way- land guilty what would you do?
nyp.33433081588240	Kin I see him?
nyp.33433081588240	Knowing all, would you make a like promise in my place?
nyp.33433081588240	Look here, Merrick,he said in a somewhat gruff tone,"how much do you smoke in a day?"
nyp.33433081588240	Man — have you lost your senses?
nyp.33433081588240	Man, have you no patience?
nyp.33433081588240	Man, what ails you? nyp.33433081588240 Martha, did my wife tell you about the work in her rooms?"
nyp.33433081588240	May I ask by whom?
nyp.33433081588240	May I ask you how you diagnosed the case that morning?
nyp.33433081588240	May I write a line on your stationery, George?
nyp.33433081588240	May?
nyp.33433081588240	Merrick, you do n't want to be ill, I am sure?
nyp.33433081588240	Merrick,said Jasper, appearing at Merrick's door shortly after luncheon,"do you happen to have any as- sortment of keys about you?
nyp.33433081588240	Miss Glenn — has she any?
nyp.33433081588240	Miss Wayland, what must any one think? nyp.33433081588240 Mother,"she exclaimed, turning and extending the unopened envelope to Mrs. Wayland across Merrick's knees,"do you know that handwriting?
nyp.33433081588240	Mr. Merrick—very softly and without opening the door wider—"did you wish something, if you please?"
nyp.33433081588240	Mrs. Wayland, may I interrupt?
nyp.33433081588240	Murdered?
nyp.33433081588240	Must I quarrel with you and turn you out of doors?
nyp.33433081588240	My old teacher?
nyp.33433081588240	No? nyp.33433081588240 None?"
nyp.33433081588240	None?
nyp.33433081588240	Not when I'm really ill, Doctor?
nyp.33433081588240	Now, let us suppose that you find no money in that desk, and none elsewhere in those rooms; will you not then be ready to admit another possibility?
nyp.33433081588240	Now,she said,"what is it, Eugene?"
nyp.33433081588240	Of Mrs. Craig's will?
nyp.33433081588240	Of my proposition to you? nyp.33433081588240 Of what and when?"
nyp.33433081588240	Oh — you do?
nyp.33433081588240	On the day — you remember, do n't you — when Roth took that pistol and asked where he should place it?
nyp.33433081588240	Pardon me, but did he mention whose pictures?
nyp.33433081588240	Perhaps,Kenneth went on,"you wo n't mind telling me how strong a dose one of these contains?"
nyp.33433081588240	Please — will you tell me just what happened then?
nyp.33433081588240	Roth, what has happened?
nyp.33433081588240	Roth,he said brokenly,"God knows I want all my senses about me just now; will it help or hurt me to drink anything that will steady my nerves?"
nyp.33433081588240	Say,said the officer loudly, catching him by the arm,"do n't you live up here in Baldwin's block, eh?"
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I go at once?
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I go right now?
nyp.33433081588240	Shut that door, wo n't you, Roth?
nyp.33433081588240	Since when?
nyp.33433081588240	So,sharply,"you had that in mind?
nyp.33433081588240	So? nyp.33433081588240 Suspect, then?"
nyp.33433081588240	Taken by a person who was about to retire, how long would it hold him asleep?
nyp.33433081588240	Tell me,he said,"before I open this; are you going to help me?"
nyp.33433081588240	The letter — is it that?
nyp.33433081588240	The truth is — shall I shut this door?
nyp.33433081588240	Then she could not have seen the table, nor the door into the hall, without turning half around?
nyp.33433081588240	Then this — this interloper is not to be spoken of?
nyp.33433081588240	Then you probably know where he lives on Locust street?
nyp.33433081588240	Then you think I'm not really threatened with illness? nyp.33433081588240 Then you would not care to go solely upon your own account?"
nyp.33433081588240	Then, will you kindly explain about those whiskers, and that long mustache?
nyp.33433081588240	There are hiding- places enough; an empty closet, dark and deep, a couch, a screen, a draped bed, and—-we can imagine all the rest, can we not?
nyp.33433081588240	There's no one sleeping upon this side of the house, since you and I are both out of bed, so now, what has brought you out?
nyp.33433081588240	They have?
nyp.33433081588240	Those pieces of paper,he questioned,"have — may I ask if you have decided to use them?"
nyp.33433081588240	To follow?
nyp.33433081588240	To smoke? nyp.33433081588240 To town — now?
nyp.33433081588240	W — what?
nyp.33433081588240	W — where?
nyp.33433081588240	WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
nyp.33433081588240	Want to go down?
nyp.33433081588240	Was I mistaken?
nyp.33433081588240	Was not that tall bush I saw in Saunders'hands meant for the cemetery?
nyp.33433081588240	Was that its usual place?
nyp.33433081588240	Was — was it not?
nyp.33433081588240	Well — and what then, my child?
nyp.33433081588240	Well — grant that; and you, what is your opinion? nyp.33433081588240 Well, comrade,"questioned Jasper, with a broad smile,"is all right?
nyp.33433081588240	Well, did he desire to enter a complaint?
nyp.33433081588240	Well, why not? nyp.33433081588240 Well, you give him one, and order him to bed?"
nyp.33433081588240	Well,inquired Jasper,"what then?"
nyp.33433081588240	Well,said the doctor, falling back into his ordinary brusquerie,"what is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	Well?
nyp.33433081588240	What I want to ask is, will it matter much if she — if we both go for a short time?
nyp.33433081588240	What about Merrick?
nyp.33433081588240	What ails your patient?
nyp.33433081588240	What can it mean?
nyp.33433081588240	What did Captain Wayland tell you?
nyp.33433081588240	What did she send down from the trunk- room? nyp.33433081588240 What do you believe?"
nyp.33433081588240	What do you make of this?
nyp.33433081588240	What do you mean by'this thing?'
nyp.33433081588240	What does he say?
nyp.33433081588240	What does it mean?
nyp.33433081588240	What else can he think?
nyp.33433081588240	What has happened? nyp.33433081588240 What is it, Saunders?"
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is that for?
nyp.33433081588240	What is your theory?
nyp.33433081588240	What other?
nyp.33433081588240	What scare?
nyp.33433081588240	What will you take, Doctor? nyp.33433081588240 What — what did you say?"
nyp.33433081588240	What — what is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What's that?
nyp.33433081588240	When — when —Then, as there was no answer, he asked weakly,"Did she leave no — word?"
nyp.33433081588240	When, mother? nyp.33433081588240 When?"
nyp.33433081588240	When?
nyp.33433081588240	When?
nyp.33433081588240	Where are you driving?
nyp.33433081588240	Where are your seedlings and other stuff?
nyp.33433081588240	Where did that fellow come from?
nyp.33433081588240	Where, may I ask, did you get that?
nyp.33433081588240	Which one?
nyp.33433081588240	Whither bound, Captain?
nyp.33433081588240	Who brought you here?
nyp.33433081588240	Who came from the city with you?
nyp.33433081588240	Who from?
nyp.33433081588240	Who is this fellow?
nyp.33433081588240	Who — are you?
nyp.33433081588240	Who — are — you?
nyp.33433081588240	Who? nyp.33433081588240 Who?
nyp.33433081588240	Why do n't you call the girl, or Jennie, the maid?
nyp.33433081588240	Why do you demand it?
nyp.33433081588240	Why do you withhold it?
nyp.33433081588240	Why not this afternoon?
nyp.33433081588240	Why not?
nyp.33433081588240	Why, I do, sir; and —"Have you his key?
nyp.33433081588240	Why,he exclaimed,"it looks like Mrs. Fralick's hand; do n't you think so?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will nine o'clock do?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you explain this, Glenn?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you go with me peaceable?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you kindly tell me if any of those faces are familiar?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you leave me now?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you show me, as nearly as may be, just where yo'u sat, all of you, b'efore she left this room?'' nyp.33433081588240 Will you sit, Miss Glenn?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you? nyp.33433081588240 Will you?"
nyp.33433081588240	With Eugene?
nyp.33433081588240	With me? nyp.33433081588240 Wonder what brings him back so soon?"
nyp.33433081588240	Wonder what he was up to, anyway? nyp.33433081588240 Worse than I?
nyp.33433081588240	Would a mild opiate, one that would insure the patient's sleep for, say an hour, injure him in the least?
nyp.33433081588240	Would it be a breach of confidence, Roth, if you told us whether or no you posted a letter for your patient this morning?
nyp.33433081588240	Writing?
nyp.33433081588240	Yes, Miss Glenn; speak softly, please; Mr. Merrick is sleeping, and the doctor —"Martha, is the house quite deserted?
nyp.33433081588240	Yes, sir; they —"Jennie, who has the keys to my wife's rooms now?
nyp.33433081588240	Yes?
nyp.33433081588240	Yes?
nyp.33433081588240	You and Doris? nyp.33433081588240 You do?
nyp.33433081588240	You found this, you say, in the waste- basket?
nyp.33433081588240	You have heard him say that?
nyp.33433081588240	You make me curious; and why ca n't we have the details now, as soon as I have got out that horse for Merrick?
nyp.33433081588240	You mean —"Eugene — does he believe — this?
nyp.33433081588240	You want to identify some one by them?
nyp.33433081588240	You want to open it now?
nyp.33433081588240	You will pardon me? nyp.33433081588240 You will — do — what?"
nyp.33433081588240	You?
nyp.33433081588240	Young man, had n't you better move on?
nyp.33433081588240	Your door,reminded Merrick;"shall I close it?"
nyp.33433081588240	'"Now, sir?"
nyp.33433081588240	'Did you say that Mrs. Wayland unlocked the desk for Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	'Martha,'she says,'I have a letter here that must go to town by the early train; would you mind going with me across the east meadows to Win- ston?
nyp.33433081588240	'Then she could only see the northeast windows and a small part of the room?"
nyp.33433081588240	.What is coming next?
nyp.33433081588240	153 you should be convinced that she could not be altogether vindicated — what then?"
nyp.33433081588240	18$"Do you think you could get them now, or, at least, find out if she has them still?"
nyp.33433081588240	197 “ Of course the negative has been preserved, ” the artist said; “ shall I look it up at once?
nyp.33433081588240	21 in the morning and stay for luncheon, wdn't you?"
nyp.33433081588240	291"What does it mean?"
nyp.33433081588240	35"How?"
nyp.33433081588240	39"Doctor, are you convinced that this has been a case of suicide?"
nyp.33433081588240	83 prowlers have so nearly robbed the captain, and, on both occasions, at an early hour?"
nyp.33433081588240	91 Aunt, when there is that long- talked- of visit to Chicago yet to be made?"
nyp.33433081588240	;; Why?"
nyp.33433081588240	A moment later a low voice said:"Is this Jasper?"
nyp.33433081588240	About that key — the attic, you know? ” “ It is under the edge of the carpet to the left as you JENNIE'S FINESSING.
nyp.33433081588240	After a long silence, except for these,'he spoke again:"Was — there any — message?"
nyp.33433081588240	After a momentary falling of his countenance,"Well?"
nyp.33433081588240	After some talk, in which Kitty and her queerness had a very small part, Jasper suddenly asked:"What do you think of Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	All you can?"
nyp.33433081588240	Am I asking too much?"
nyp.33433081588240	Am I right?
nyp.33433081588240	And Jasper strode on, but he was too wary to display his knowledge, and asked as they neared the two dividing ways:"Which road?
nyp.33433081588240	And he went, leaving Jasper alone over his unfinished breakfast and still wrestling with the old question,"Where is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	And how did it end?"
nyp.33433081588240	And how far to the next station?"
nyp.33433081588240	And it was directed to Cooper, the photographer, eh?"
nyp.33433081588240	And my wife; can she bear this trouble, Doctor?"
nyp.33433081588240	And now — are you in haste to return?"
nyp.33433081588240	And now, Merrick, what theory have you evolved from this discovery of yours?
nyp.33433081588240	And so you have added to your other points against Glenn Wayland the proba- bility, to you, that she coveted her cousin's prospective fortune?"
nyp.33433081588240	And that room, how was it lighted?"
nyp.33433081588240	And the doctor is with him?
nyp.33433081588240	And then, as he chatted on, still amiably smiling and apologetic, she asked, sharply:"Why did you come to this door?"
nyp.33433081588240	And then, as if actuated by some new thought, Jasper added:"Still — might there not be some card, some address in her room?
nyp.33433081588240	And will you al- low me to be ten minutes late at dinner?"
nyp.33433081588240	And — how could you word such a message?"
nyp.33433081588240	And — is that sat- isfactory?"
nyp.33433081588240	And — what time must it be?
nyp.33433081588240	And — why are you waiting down here — alone?
nyp.33433081588240	Another instant of mutual surprise and silence, and then Jasper grasped the other's arm and said:"Man, what does this mean?"
nyp.33433081588240	Anything important?"
nyp.33433081588240	Are you ready to go down?"
nyp.33433081588240	Are you sure?"
nyp.33433081588240	Are you?"
nyp.33433081588240	As for the pictures — I may as well say at once that they are of value to me as —""Clues — perhaps?"
nyp.33433081588240	As for your little commis- sion, I think I can put it into your hand, say in three days; and how shall it come?"
nyp.33433081588240	As for your little fling at Kenneth, do you think your mother does not know you, Glenn?"
nyp.33433081588240	As they went slowly and silently up the stairs Merrick whispered:"Is the room locked?"
nyp.33433081588240	Been exposing yourself to the dews of heaven, too?"
nyp.33433081588240	Besides —""Where is — she?"
nyp.33433081588240	But I am too strong to be crushed or killed by even such a sorrow, and can there be any- thing more?"
nyp.33433081588240	But did not the captain tell or write you of her visit?"
nyp.33433081588240	But first tell me how much have these rooms been disturbed since — since they were left vacant?"
nyp.33433081588240	But it's all right?"
nyp.33433081588240	But the doctpr?"
nyp.33433081588240	But what if I ca n't keep him?"
nyp.33433081588240	But why?
nyp.33433081588240	But — first — do you fully believe it to have been a — her own hand?"
nyp.33433081588240	But — you will take it up?
nyp.33433081588240	But, tell me, have you, in your own heart, any doubt as to the manner of your cousin's death?"
nyp.33433081588240	By the way, are all the keys from that room at my disposal — the trunk keys, those of the desk, etc.?"
nyp.33433081588240	Ca n't I let myself out?"
nyp.33433081588240	Ca n't we arrange it at luncheon?"
nyp.33433081588240	Ca n't we keep the — the truth from him, too?"
nyp.33433081588240	Ca n't we talk it over later?"
nyp.33433081588240	Can we prevent it?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you find that lost key before dinner- time and slip it into my hand?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you give a good ac- count of the crops?"
nyp.33433081588240	Can you go by the afternoon train?
nyp.33433081588240	Can you go out to Way lands — well, say at four o'clock?"
nyp.33433081588240	Can you manage?"
nyp.33433081588240	Can you open to me a moment?"
nyp.33433081588240	Can you see an atom of reason in either charge?"
nyp.33433081588240	Captain Wayland — does he know what you are about to do?"
nyp.33433081588240	Could he be insane?
nyp.33433081588240	Could it be that it was a look of grati- fication, of relief, almost?
nyp.33433081588240	Could it be that they had left her alone and that she was terrified?
nyp.33433081588240	Could we manage it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Could you not be down early also?
nyp.33433081588240	Could you not drive with me to the cemetery to- morrow?"
nyp.33433081588240	Country practitioner, is he not?"
nyp.33433081588240	Crown Svo, cloth, per Vol.,.'(.?.
nyp.33433081588240	Did he seem to know his way?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did it ever occur to you that your wife's aunt might have had other relatives — would- be heirs, perhaps? ” Once more he arose.
nyp.33433081588240	Did n't he say anything about a nurse to you?
nyp.33433081588240	Did not she sue the railway company and actually get a number of thousands of dollars for him?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did she go with you to your room?
nyp.33433081588240	Did you cross the timber?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did you enter the dressing- room when the captain sent for you?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did you expect me to tell a lie, at my time of life?
nyp.33433081588240	Did you see nothing there to cause you an additional thrill of surprise?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did you think his proposed coming was by my request, or by your father's?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did you — a — speak to Martha?"
nyp.33433081588240	Did your little joke work?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do I know? ” “ Stop, man!
nyp.33433081588240	Do n't mind my cranki- ness; I'm worried, and that's the truth. ” “ And can I help you? ” “ Later, perhaps.
nyp.33433081588240	Do you approve?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you be- lieve me? ” His eyes sought and held hers, full, clear, challenging.
nyp.33433081588240	Do you believe it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you hear?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know Doctor Roth?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know that by my wife's death Glenn becomes, sooner or later, a rich woman — a richer woman, I mean, than her parents will make her?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know what is wrong at Way lands?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know what it is?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know who will be ac- cused if he enters this house?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you know — precisely?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you mean to say you do n't know?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you not long to under- stand it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you remember one day at Crow's Nest Lake, in, May, when I was at home last?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you think I do not suffer at the thought that Doris, my sister1 in love, is dead?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you think I would take up such a delicate job on any other terms?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you think he will not strive mightily to vindicate her?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you think you could get Mer- rick down here to- morrow if the doctor consents?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you want me to start this evening?"
nyp.33433081588240	Do you want to wake a sleeping sick man?
nyp.33433081588240	Do you, perhaps, fancy those things some of my prescribing?"
nyp.33433081588240	Doctor — Kenneth, must this awful thing be blazoned all over Winston — everywhere?
nyp.33433081588240	Does this seem so very improbable?"
nyp.33433081588240	Does — does Eugene know?"
nyp.33433081588240	Doris, do you know what I am bearing for you?"
nyp.33433081588240	Excuse my intruding — you were napping, were n't you?"
nyp.33433081588240	Feel any better?"
nyp.33433081588240	Getting morbid, is n't he?"
nyp.33433081588240	Glenn — Glenn —""What?"
nyp.33433081588240	Go where?"
nyp.33433081588240	Had Jasper failed to give him the letter?
nyp.33433081588240	Had your wife much money in her possession?"
nyp.33433081588240	Had your wife or yourself in your possession anything, a paper, letter, what you will, that was strongly coveted by any one else?
nyp.33433081588240	Has Jasper gone away?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have I — have I slept and wakened like this for half the day?
nyp.33433081588240	Have a cigar?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have a sip of lemon- water?
nyp.33433081588240	Have one?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you a photograph or photographs of Mer- rick?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you any of Mrs. Merrick's pictures?"'
nyp.33433081588240	Have you been ill?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you brought the key?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you ever taken chloral?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you got the key?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you never seen the possibility of this?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you seen my patient this morning?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you seen none of this?"
nyp.33433081588240	Have you thought of Mrs. Craig's will?"
nyp.33433081588240	He had half- lifted himself from a reclining chair and was looking up into the face DO YOU THINK SHE WILL LET ME SPEAK?
nyp.33433081588240	He was here was he not, or did I dream that?"
nyp.33433081588240	He was saying to himself:"How much does she know?
nyp.33433081588240	His patience is not his chief virtue; eh, Jasper?"
nyp.33433081588240	How are you, Ken?"
nyp.33433081588240	How can I, her husband, take in this awful thought of suicide, when I knew her life to be without a cloud — knew it from her own lips?
nyp.33433081588240	How can a woman put so much meaning into a simple syllable?
nyp.33433081588240	How could I help it?
nyp.33433081588240	How could one think else?
nyp.33433081588240	How do you account for that?"
nyp.33433081588240	How do you dare so to insult me?"
nyp.33433081588240	How is she, in your opinion?"
nyp.33433081588240	How long are you in the city?"
nyp.33433081588240	How long since?"
nyp.33433081588240	How she seems constantly watching, constantly on guard?
nyp.33433081588240	How?"
nyp.33433081588240	Hugh, who will have the courage to meet him — and tell him?"
nyp.33433081588240	I believe that Merrick was sometimes away from Winston during his engagement, was he not?"
nyp.33433081588240	I called upon Coroner White when I went to town and told him — enough; are you growing — well, squeamish, Jasper?"
nyp.33433081588240	I called?
nyp.33433081588240	I have been wondering if it would not be well to tell the doctor and the rest that I went out last night?"
nyp.33433081588240	I hope you have not had a long hunt?"
nyp.33433081588240	I locked the door — and now?"
nyp.33433081588240	I must have a few words with you in private — you un- derstand?"
nyp.33433081588240	I say"—very gently—"you are not talking too much are you?
nyp.33433081588240	I suppose you can give me a few minutes?"
nyp.33433081588240	I think you have one or two of the same, have you not?
nyp.33433081588240	I thought it would spoil her midday siesta, which she really needs; and it was not important that we be all kept in suspense, was it?"
nyp.33433081588240	If I had been unable to stand by poor moth- er now —"She turned toward the girl at her elbow:"Did mamma order me this tea, Jennie?"
nyp.33433081588240	If Merrick had taken thought for the security of the letter which had so disturbed and unnerved him, the WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
nyp.33433081588240	If the doctor should come meantime, would Kenneth see that he was sent up?
nyp.33433081588240	If you ca n't, call for my help; you understand?"
nyp.33433081588240	If you should find him gone some morning would you be totally unprepared?"
nyp.33433081588240	Ifi?
nyp.33433081588240	In the beginning —""The beginning?
nyp.33433081588240	In what way — tell me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is Miss Glenn upstairs?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is Miss Wayland still im- proving?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is it a man or woman? ” Jasper was silent.
nyp.33433081588240	Is it all right?
nyp.33433081588240	Is she in her daughter's confidence?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is she really so strong, so fully recovered as you say?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is that the word you are testing me with?
nyp.33433081588240	Is that you?"
nyp.33433081588240	Is there any clue?
nyp.33433081588240	Is there anything more? ” “ Nothing to- night. ” He half rose and dropped back into his place again.
nyp.33433081588240	Is — is anything wrong here?
nyp.33433081588240	It's a bore, but could you hand him a line from me as you pass?"
nyp.33433081588240	It's a part of her duty. ” “ Does she ever go upstairs at the front in the evening? ” he persisted.
nyp.33433081588240	It's all been quiet, just like that, and nobody's been near the house yet. ” “ Do you think there's any one there? ” “ In the house, sir.
nyp.33433081588240	It's to be a private investigation, I take it?"
nyp.33433081588240	It's you, eh?
nyp.33433081588240	Ja — as — per?"
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper, have you learned anything?
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper, will you drive my mare back to town, send the message, and, if possible, bring back your aunt? ” “ Aunt Jem!
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper?"
nyp.33433081588240	Jasper?"
nyp.33433081588240	Kenneth Jasper?"
nyp.33433081588240	Kenneth exclaimed,"must you go away just now?"
nyp.33433081588240	Letter ready, Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	Lock up my quarters, wo n't you?
nyp.33433081588240	Mamma, what does it mean?
nyp.33433081588240	May I ask if there are strong reasons why he may not cgme by day — possibly in disguise?"
nyp.33433081588240	May I not know when this happened?"
nyp.33433081588240	May not the deed have been done and the villain have escaped under cover of these sounds?"
nyp.33433081588240	May we not go out upon the terrace or to the little summer- house?
nyp.33433081588240	Merrick looked up, with his lips white and twitching,"Will you go with me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Merrick seemed hardly to heed him, and when he spoke it was to say:"That telegram — where did you send it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	Might it not be best to make sure?"
nyp.33433081588240	Mother, shall I tell you what he has already learned?"
nyp.33433081588240	Mrs. Wayland — is she worse?"
nyp.33433081588240	Must I beat the whole bush?"
nyp.33433081588240	Not your aunt, surely?"
nyp.33433081588240	Now tell me, before I say more, tell me upon your honor as a physician, how much of Eugene Merrick's present state, his illness, is and has been real?
nyp.33433081588240	Now — do you dislike Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	Now, tell me, why you have used the name of her uncle and my one- time guardian in connec- tion with her — death?"
nyp.33433081588240	Now, which way?"
nyp.33433081588240	Of course you'd be above borrowing one of my coats?"
nyp.33433081588240	Of what do you accuse Captain Wayland?"
nyp.33433081588240	Of your own accord?"
nyp.33433081588240	Oh, by the way, Charlie, what time does the up- train pass Winston?"
nyp.33433081588240	Only — think it over, Ken, and ask yourself is all this easy to bear for me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Or are you sick now?
nyp.33433081588240	Or"—looking at him keen- ly—"do you want an answer?"
nyp.33433081588240	Or"—very gently—"may I tell you what I think, or believe?"
nyp.33433081588240	Patient worse?
nyp.33433081588240	Perhaps you'd like me to fall down cellar, break something, and be sent to the hospital?
nyp.33433081588240	Precisely, what do you think of my undertaking?"
nyp.33433081588240	S'Ken,"kefan th?
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I call him?"
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I go farther, and, if so, which way?"
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I go on?"
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I have the powder?"
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I tell you a little of what I shall say to them?
nyp.33433081588240	Shall I try again for you, sir?"
nyp.33433081588240	She bowed frigidly, and then, turning toward the doctor, asked:"How is your patient this morning?"
nyp.33433081588240	She has rallied? ” “ Oh, yes.
nyp.33433081588240	She seems bent on a quick recovery, and would like to have us all ignore the real cause of her present weakness. ” “ The- real cause? ” “ Yes.
nyp.33433081588240	She was silent again for some moments, then:"What have the people been told?"
nyp.33433081588240	Still confused, I mistook the sound outside just then for her coming, and — you know how I learned the truth?"
nyp.33433081588240	Tell me, Roth, is there any- thing in his present condition that should prevent me from carrying out my program of enlightenment?
nyp.33433081588240	Tell me, was she pale or nervous — was she different?"
nyp.33433081588240	Tell me; the pistol in her hand — was it — tell me, for I will know, was it — like this?"
nyp.33433081588240	Then —"Did Merrick accompany the ladies at his own sugges- tion?"
nyp.33433081588240	Then —"Have they found out who carried the letter?"
nyp.33433081588240	Then —"Merrick,"he began,"it's now some four weeks since you — you last visited the city, eh?"
nyp.33433081588240	Then, in response to some look in his client's face, he added:"Of course you meant me to make use of them?"
nyp.33433081588240	There had been no need to ask"whom?"
nyp.33433081588240	There was a note of weariness in his tone, and the impulsive captain asked with quick kindliness:"Sha'n't I order your trap?
nyp.33433081588240	There was a stir within and, in a few mo- ments, Merrick's voice called through the closed door:"Who is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	There was no formality of entertainment at Waylands, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
nyp.33433081588240	They'll hear your statement and let you off most like; see?"
nyp.33433081588240	They've been swept this morning, for sure. ” y “ Did you notice that card on the door? ” The man grinned.
nyp.33433081588240	This evening?"
nyp.33433081588240	This page was headed"Theories,"and beneath was written: DO YOU THINK SHE WILL LET ME SPEAK?
nyp.33433081588240	Thought you would try my skill at recalling'faces?
nyp.33433081588240	Useless to ask you to go, I suppose, Captain?"
nyp.33433081588240	WHA*T DOES IT MEAN?
nyp.33433081588240	WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
nyp.33433081588240	Was Glenn ill once more?
nyp.33433081588240	Was I wrong in or- dering breakfast at once?
nyp.33433081588240	Was it a too eager look in his eye, or an impulse straight from her own evil angel?
nyp.33433081588240	Was it suicide or mur- der?
nyp.33433081588240	Was it what you said?"
nyp.33433081588240	Was there anything in your rooms which might tempt a desperate man to attempt to wrest it from your wife in your absence?"
nyp.33433081588240	Was there no correspondence? ” “ Nothing — absolutely nothing.
nyp.33433081588240	Wayland — Jennie?"
nyp.33433081588240	Wayland?"
nyp.33433081588240	Wayland?"
nyp.33433081588240	Well?"
nyp.33433081588240	Well?"
nyp.33433081588240	Were you in the woods?"
nyp.33433081588240	Were you near any case of illness; did you, for instance, call upon any sick friend, or —""No, I — Why, Doctor?"
nyp.33433081588240	What ails Merrick?"
nyp.33433081588240	What are you keeping back?
nyp.33433081588240	What became of your man?"
nyp.33433081588240	What can have happened?
nyp.33433081588240	What did it mean?
nyp.33433081588240	What do you mean to come rushing to a sick- room all out of breath like this?
nyp.33433081588240	What do you think she said to me to- night? ” Kenneth shook his head.
nyp.33433081588240	What does it mean?"
nyp.33433081588240	What does it mean?"
nyp.33433081588240	What does the doctor call it?
nyp.33433081588240	What else could she do?
nyp.33433081588240	What else did you discover?"
nyp.33433081588240	What else?"
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	What is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	What more can a sane man need to make him happy?"
nyp.33433081588240	What must I do?"
nyp.33433081588240	What must be done — now?"
nyp.33433081588240	What promise?"
nyp.33433081588240	What say you?"
nyp.33433081588240	What then?"
nyp.33433081588240	What was it?
nyp.33433081588240	What — what is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	When I have done my best I will let you know the result, whether it be success or failure; until then — you understand?"
nyp.33433081588240	When — when may I see you again?"
nyp.33433081588240	Where is Doris?"
nyp.33433081588240	Where will anyone who Is ordinary and sane find better comradeship?
nyp.33433081588240	Which way did he go?"
nyp.33433081588240	While Jasper studied these fragments Merrick watched his face closely, and when he lifted his eyes he asked eagerly:"What do you think of them?"
nyp.33433081588240	Who calls me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Who keeps the keys to your niece's rooms?"
nyp.33433081588240	Who sent it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Why do you look so strangely, Jasper?
nyp.33433081588240	Why must he, because him- self perplexed and troubled, turn with reasonless impa- tience upon this suffering mortal?
nyp.33433081588240	Why not let me carry one end?"
nyp.33433081588240	Why not?
nyp.33433081588240	Why should she die by suicide?"
nyp.33433081588240	Why this interest?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will that do?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will that do?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you come out upon the terrace for a few moments?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you come soon, Glenn?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you come?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you do it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you give orders to have him admitted to us at once?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you keep Merrick here?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you kindly look at them?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you kindly look up the negative of my own, together with any copies that you may have, and destroy then at once?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you listen and not interrupt?
nyp.33433081588240	Will you look closely at that picture?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you make a place for me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will you tell it me?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will your mother's wish influence you?"
nyp.33433081588240	Will — will you look — Kenneth?"
nyp.33433081588240	Wo n't you come in and see me do it?"
nyp.33433081588240	Wo n't you come outside, Mrs. Wavland?
nyp.33433081588240	Wo n't you send me away?
nyp.33433081588240	Would not this explain or account for that?"
nyp.33433081588240	You are sure that I must go?
nyp.33433081588240	You are sure, by the bye, that they do n't know already, and were just trying you?"
nyp.33433081588240	You can trust me in such a matter, eh — Fish?"
nyp.33433081588240	You do not wish to leave — upon your own account?"
nyp.33433081588240	You intend to re- main here for the present, I suppose?"
nyp.33433081588240	You know Way- land's habits?"
nyp.33433081588240	You must have been told of this?"
nyp.33433081588240	You must stay until I come to relieve you; you understand?"
nyp.33433081588240	You titn't runt oafer soam poontles, hein?
nyp.33433081588240	You understand?"
nyp.33433081588240	You will come soon?
nyp.33433081588240	You will do what you can?
nyp.33433081588240	Yourself, for instance?"
nyp.33433081588240	and could it be that she was alone?
nyp.33433081588240	and how is he?"
nyp.33433081588240	and if so, how much she saw?"
nyp.33433081588240	and who takes charge of Mr. Jasper's room in his absence?"
nyp.33433081588240	are you out of your senses?"
nyp.33433081588240	be missing, or at least absent?
nyp.33433081588240	by the office?"
nyp.33433081588240	ened, mother dear?"
nyp.33433081588240	exclaimed Jasper; then, through the telephone,"Jack, is that yourself?"
nyp.33433081588240	from making known to him that which will enlighten, while it will shock and startle him horribly?"
nyp.33433081588240	have you found the motive?
nyp.33433081588240	he broke out when she had ceased speaking,"what does it all mean?"
nyp.33433081588240	he has?"
nyp.33433081588240	he said aloud, and for the benefit, evi- dently, of any who might chance to be near,"going to return my call?
nyp.33433081588240	lifting her eyes in a cold glance to his:".Were you aware that it contained anything?"
nyp.33433081588240	m.?"
nyp.33433081588240	she implored,"if I — if you see me — see me about to break down, wo n't you let me go away?
nyp.33433081588240	speak until his guest was seated, and then, as he pushed the box of perfectos toward him, he only said:"Well?"
nyp.33433081588240	then he knows?"
nyp.33433081588240	then you know this young man?"
nyp.33433081588240	too much, thinking to spare me?
nyp.33433081588240	what is it?"
nyp.33433081588240	why must he he kept here if he is not the one?''
nyp.33433081588240	“ Are you disappointed? ” she asked.
nyp.33433081588240	“ But, she is better?
nyp.33433081588240	“ How is Miss Wayland to- night? ” “ She appears quite free from nervousness and seems to prefer to be alone.
nyp.33433081588240	“ How long before I shall be able to report success or failure?
nyp.33433081588240	“ I should think so. ” “ What is written on it? ” “ Well, you've got me.
nyp.33433081588240	“ It wo n't do to seem to come expressly for his picture. ” “ What must it be, then? ” queried Mrs. Wayland anx- iously.
nyp.33433081588240	“ Well? ” queried Kenneth as they rolled slowly on and around the next corner.
nyp.33433081588240	“ What do you mean by following this outfit, eh? ” “ It's the same fellow, ” whispered Merrick.
nyp.33433081588240	“ Who could have been prepared for that sudden turn?
nyp.33433081588240	“ You did not succeed? ” he questioned.
nyp.33433081588240	“ You wo n't speak?
nyp.33433081588240	•"And — if I ca n't?"
osu.32435018056127	'Bout time, is n’t it? ” Trent nodded.
osu.32435018056127	104 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ Am I to carry these? ” She nodded.
osu.32435018056127	112 CARAVANS BY NIGHT Could a woman do that?
osu.32435018056127	128 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ You will do me the honor to be seated? ” he en- quired, gesturing toward a pile of cushions opposite him.
osu.32435018056127	218 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ What could I do, Presence?
osu.32435018056127	340 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ You remember, ” began Sarojini, “ that you were told you would reach enlightenment by gradations?
osu.32435018056127	88 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ Suppose we move to the dining- hall? ” the latter suggested.
osu.32435018056127	90 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ If she discovers you ’re not Rawul Din, the Rajput, What then? ” Kerth shrugged.
osu.32435018056127	Adventure?
osu.32435018056127	After all these prosaic years was he to be drawn out of his cocoon of medicines and gauze bandages and have his adventure?
osu.32435018056127	After all, was not it possible that he had placed the necklaces in the wrong tray?
osu.32435018056127	Am I a dog that I should run behind until my tongue drips and I drop dead of heat?
osu.32435018056127	And have you wondered how the devil they're going to hide the loot, or get it out of India?
osu.32435018056127	And he repeated, “ Sarojini Nanjee, the Swaying 96 CARAVANS BY NIGHT Cobra? ” He smiled.
osu.32435018056127	And here I am. ” “ You ’ve notified the police that — Chavigny, is n’t it?—is in the city? ” He smiled.
osu.32435018056127	And how can that be done? ” Trent took him up.
osu.32435018056127	And perhaps you even think Chavigny the leader, yes? ” She smiled, quite pleased with herself.
osu.32435018056127	And that reminds me, is it safe to go to a native theater?
osu.32435018056127	And the Falcon?
osu.32435018056127	And the brother — what of the brother, Tajen? ” 350 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ I am going now to find him. ” Then he called Hsiao.
osu.32435018056127	And then?
osu.32435018056127	And was not that it?
osu.32435018056127	And what day was Captain Manlove murdered?
osu.32435018056127	At Tali- fang I learned you had n’t passed and I left a message — you received it?
osu.32435018056127	But I have a dream — an ultimate — do you say Utopia?
osu.32435018056127	But Mon- golia — you asked about Mongolia?
osu.32435018056127	But had a thief disturbed the beads?
osu.32435018056127	But how could it be stopped?
osu.32435018056127	But the body, what of that?
osu.32435018056127	But what of the Buddhist priest?
osu.32435018056127	But why Burma?
osu.32435018056127	But why did blood affect him?
osu.32435018056127	But why in Tophet was he think- ing of this Buddha- faced heathen?
osu.32435018056127	But why move the body — unless to hide it?
osu.32435018056127	Could it be that Venekiah, that mountain of cor- ruption, had spied upon him?
osu.32435018056127	D'ye suppose Chavigny made a mistake — thought Manlove you?
osu.32435018056127	D'ye suppose he's one of the Order?
osu.32435018056127	Did Guru Singh ’s presence mean that the woman of the cobra- bracelet was in Myitkyina?
osu.32435018056127	Did I say so? ” she fenced.
osu.32435018056127	Did not duty toward flesh transcend duty toward the inanimate?
osu.32435018056127	Did n’t you know better than to let some filthy, stinking hakim burn her stomach with a hot iron? ” The native was wailing again.
osu.32435018056127	Did you see the face of the fellow who tried to kill me? ” Kerth nodded.
osu.32435018056127	Do n’t know where he was before?
osu.32435018056127	Do n’t you see what people will say when they learn of it?
osu.32435018056127	Do n’t you think so? ”- And he replied in a manner that was new for him.
osu.32435018056127	Do you know? ” “ Hah, Memsahib l’’—with regret.
osu.32435018056127	Do you wonder, then, ” re- sumed the voice with the alien note, ‘ ‘ that we resent the intrusion of missionaries?
osu.32435018056127	Does it mean there's a band of thieves at work, with Chavigny at the head?
osu.32435018056127	Does man know? ” She shrugged.
osu.32435018056127	Eckard and Gerrish will re- main to — ” “ Sleep? ” echoed Trent.
osu.32435018056127	Europe is dipping; next America — and after that? ” The slender hands shaped into an oddly expressive gesture.
osu.32435018056127	For an extra gift of thirty rupees? ” Thirty rupees!
osu.32435018056127	For did not I travel it?
osu.32435018056127	For why should Chavigny wish to return the oval to him?
osu.32435018056127	From where had the native come?
osu.32435018056127	HOUSE OF THE SWAYING COBRA 105 “ What harm in taking him to Bombay? ” he pursued, conscious that he was losing ground.
osu.32435018056127	Had he been a fool?
osu.32435018056127	Had he ever been a doctor?
osu.32435018056127	Had he witnessed the crime and fled?
osu.32435018056127	Has that any significance to you?
osu.32435018056127	Have you a match? ” Trent turned.
osu.32435018056127	He deliberately chose — “ Beyond the Brahmaputra? ” She laughed.
osu.32435018056127	He knew well I could not get my hands on him! ” “ And you let him get away? ” Trent demanded.
osu.32435018056127	He queried: “ What if I prefer to do otherwise than as you suggest? ” “ I am prepared against such a decision. ” That lurking smile returned.
osu.32435018056127	He read the notes he had made: Who the deuce would want the pendant?
osu.32435018056127	He recovered enough to ask: “ His Holiness — what have you done to him?
osu.32435018056127	He was innocent, but how could he explain?
osu.32435018056127	How could she? ” Then Trent ex- plained how he had exchanged muleteers at Tali- fang.
osu.32435018056127	How could this thing be accomplished by two people?
osu.32435018056127	How did this happen? ” “ I — I ca n’t think — now, ” she returned dazedly.
osu.32435018056127	How were they taken there?
osu.32435018056127	However, Colonel Urqhart's telegram stated that the woman had made inquiries about him — and what other woman was interested?
osu.32435018056127	I did n’t know what to do. ” “ But why did you send him to my room in the first place — or follow me to Benares? ” he interrupted quietly.
osu.32435018056127	I sail to- morrow noon. ’ ’ “ Really?
osu.32435018056127	I suppose you ’re going to the lawn party? ” “ Think not, ” decided Manlove.
osu.32435018056127	I suppose you're going back to England? ” ‘ ‘ NO.
osu.32435018056127	I was stationed for a while at Singapore. ” “ Stationed?
osu.32435018056127	I won- der if you ’d care to go with me?
osu.32435018056127	I wonder”—he leaned across the table toward Trent—“I wonder if you can understand my feelings there, a boy, in an alien land?
osu.32435018056127	I ’m really interested. ” “ Or curious?
osu.32435018056127	If I give you my word that what I did last night is of no consequence to you, will you spare me the embar- rassment of explaining?
osu.32435018056127	If it was a shot —?
osu.32435018056127	If not, why were the gems brought to Shingtse- lunpo?
osu.32435018056127	If the mani- festation is n’t wholesome, how can the inner conception be?
osu.32435018056127	In the East, quizzed the Mongol?
osu.32435018056127	In the infantry, Hsien Sgam assumed?
osu.32435018056127	Is he listening to me? ” Kerth wondered.
osu.32435018056127	Is n’t it frightful about the gems that were stolen? ” “ Rather, ” was the close- mouthed reply.
osu.32435018056127	Is that a- er — threat? ’ ” “ Dare one threaten the Intelligence Department? ” she purred.
osu.32435018056127	Is that a- er — threat? ’ ” “ Dare one threaten the Intelligence Department? ” she purred.
osu.32435018056127	Is there anything else I can do for you? ” There was n’t.
osu.32435018056127	It's evident that Chavigny has the alliance of the lamas, but how did he get it?
osu.32435018056127	It's so easy to drift, is n’t it? ” A new tone had come into her voice; a softer, more poignant quality.
osu.32435018056127	May I have him? ” “ The whole of the Secret Service is at your dis- posal!”—magnanimously.
osu.32435018056127	May I inquire what you lost? ” The bronze face was as expressionless as that of the Buddha it so resembled.
osu.32435018056127	Monday — the twentieth?
osu.32435018056127	Murdered?
osu.32435018056127	Neat way of beating the devil around the bush, is n’t it? ” It was not visible upon Trent ’s face whether or not he agreed with Kerth.
osu.32435018056127	No?
osu.32435018056127	No? ” A ring of the gong brought the serving- maid with cigars.
osu.32435018056127	Not transferred? ” “ Temporarily detached; special service.
osu.32435018056127	Of course you think he's involved in this affair? ” HOUSE OF THE SWAYING COBRA 87 Trent ’s eyes followed the spiral of smoke from his cheroot.
osu.32435018056127	On the morrow would the police come and ask him all manner of confusing questions?
osu.32435018056127	Once inside, you will be upon your own re- sources. ” “ As whom does the Falcon know me? ” he inserted.
osu.32435018056127	Or had Manlove been mortally wounded at the house and gone of his own volition to the ruins before his death?
osu.32435018056127	Or had he taken his own life — in remorse?
osu.32435018056127	Or had the hurricane spent it- self?
osu.32435018056127	Or the white throat, full with young maturity?
osu.32435018056127	Organization?
osu.32435018056127	Presently he asked: “ I ’ve had no message from the lama? ” “ No, Tajen. ” Trent spent a restless three hours.
osu.32435018056127	Provided Chavigny was the murderer, would it not be natural for him to take steps to recover the pendant, once he discovered its loss?
osu.32435018056127	Remember the chap at Meera, Chatterjee?
osu.32435018056127	Said I not that I am the Swaying Cobra, that I dance for those I love, but have only venom for those I hate?
osu.32435018056127	Sakya- müni?
osu.32435018056127	Sarojini Nanjee?
osu.32435018056127	Satisfied?
osu.32435018056127	Settled?
osu.32435018056127	Shall we adjourn? ” They did.
osu.32435018056127	Shall we go in here? ” It was an epochal morning for Trent.
osu.32435018056127	She had nerve, all right; how many women would have dared to do that?
osu.32435018056127	She of the cobra- bracelet?
osu.32435018056127	She opened her lips; closed them; and after a space said quite calmly: “ Why did Hsien Sgam tell you that? ” Trent shrugged.
osu.32435018056127	She replied: “ Did I say so, O wise one?
osu.32435018056127	She resumed: “ And you will do as I direct? ” “ To a reasonable extent, ” he modified.
osu.32435018056127	Skin of old ivory hue, he mused, and hair — now, just what color, was it?
osu.32435018056127	So what am I to do? ” She got up, and her eyes shone with the warmth of the fire.
osu.32435018056127	Suppose the copy was found in his possession, and the police, who had strange ways, connected him with the robbery?
osu.32435018056127	THE VERMILION ROOM 213 ber of that mysterious band have left the symbol to be found by the police?
osu.32435018056127	That ought to simplify her case. ” “ What of my muleteers? ” Trent queried.
osu.32435018056127	The bungalow?
osu.32435018056127	The man inquired: “ How long will it take? ” “ Seven days; perhaps less. ” The sahib frowned, tugged at his yellow beard.
osu.32435018056127	Then We left. ” In the pause that followed Trent inserted: “ What of the jewels? ” Another shrug from Kerth.
osu.32435018056127	Then he suggested: “ Are n’t all cards to go on the table? ” She smiled wisely.
osu.32435018056127	Then: “ Is it ready? ” Muhafiz Ali hastily opened one of his chests and re- moved several trays.
osu.32435018056127	There are yaks, too, if the Tajem wishes to shoot. ” Satisfied on that score, Trent went on: “ But what of my muleteers?
osu.32435018056127	There is no road there — ” “ Then where is the road, indeed, if thou dost know? ” interrupted the juggler.
osu.32435018056127	There was a street fight be- tween some Chinese and Brahmins — Chinese and Brah- mins do fight, do n’t they?
osu.32435018056127	Thieves?
osu.32435018056127	Think you I would have let him go after he called me that, could I have prevented it? ” Trent was n’t so sure; but he only said: “ Very well.
osu.32435018056127	This City of the Falcon: in Burma?
osu.32435018056127	Tiger? ” He nodded.
osu.32435018056127	To be sure, Sarojini Nanjee knew he was Arnold Trent — but did Tambusami?
osu.32435018056127	Trent said, without surprise: “ You heard? ” • “ Everything.
osu.32435018056127	Trust no one unless he comes in my name and has proof. ” “ Then I shall see you there? ” A nod.
osu.32435018056127	Two days, an interlude; then the Bay, Rangoon and — But would he see her before he left?
osu.32435018056127	Was it possible —?
osu.32435018056127	Was it the hair, in whose bronzen waves a slantwise ray of sunlight ignited little glints of red- gold?
osu.32435018056127	Was she playing with him?
osu.32435018056127	Was the attempt to kill him at the House of the Golden Joss the work of Chavigny?
osu.32435018056127	Was this another demonstration of the power whose hand he felt at Benares and Calcutta?
osu.32435018056127	Was this the flannel- clad fellow- passenger of the Man- chester, he who had talked of revolutions, of Western vices and morals?
osu.32435018056127	Was this the last he would ever see of the yellow- haired Sahib or the Punjabi?
osu.32435018056127	We will hide them there, and they will not be found until morning. ” “ But how will we get out of the city? ” Trent inter- rogated.
osu.32435018056127	Well, why should they not?
osu.32435018056127	Were the jewels in Burma?
osu.32435018056127	Were they hidden some- where in the hills?
osu.32435018056127	What are her secret strings that give her so much power?
osu.32435018056127	What can she expect to do alone?
osu.32435018056127	What did he want with a copy of the Pearl Scarf?
osu.32435018056127	What did this foreigner want?
osu.32435018056127	What did those wretches know?
osu.32435018056127	What does Sir Francis think? ” A wry smile.
osu.32435018056127	What does it matter if 156 CARAVANS BY NIGHT Deity is symbolized by Buddah, Mohammed or a Nazar- ene?
osu.32435018056127	What in flam- 68 CARAVANS BY NIGHT ing hades was the matter with him?
osu.32435018056127	What is it this time — more plots against the Sirkar? ” She made a grimace.
osu.32435018056127	What of his brood?
osu.32435018056127	What other conclusions have you drawn? ” “ Just at present, ” she responded, smiling maliciously, “ I think you ’re horrid. ” He sobered.
osu.32435018056127	What substantial reason had he to suspect that her interest in him was other than personal?
osu.32435018056127	What was afoot?
osu.32435018056127	What was his object in catechizing him?
osu.32435018056127	What was it, a footfall?
osu.32435018056127	What was it?
osu.32435018056127	What was she carrying that she did not want him to See?
osu.32435018056127	What would he look like?
osu.32435018056127	What would you think?.
osu.32435018056127	What's his object in attempting to murder you?
osu.32435018056127	What?
osu.32435018056127	What?
osu.32435018056127	When did I track him to the native serai in Delhi? ” He was silent for a moment.
osu.32435018056127	When the meal was finished, Li Kwai Kung asked: INTERLUDE 129 “ Will you join me with a pipe?
osu.32435018056127	Where can we go to talk — the garden?
osu.32435018056127	Where else?
osu.32435018056127	Which is it: north, east or west? ” “ Which seems the most likely?
osu.32435018056127	Which is it: north, east or west? ” “ Which seems the most likely?
osu.32435018056127	White or Oriental?
osu.32435018056127	Whither goes the elephant when his time is come?
osu.32435018056127	Whither had they gone, this Leroux Sahib and the blue- eyed Punjabi?
osu.32435018056127	Who had entered his shop, and why?
osu.32435018056127	Who was he?
osu.32435018056127	Who was she, anyway?
osu.32435018056127	Who was telling the truth, Sarojini Nanjee or Hsien Sgam?
osu.32435018056127	Who ’s with you?
osu.32435018056127	Why did he want a copy?
osu.32435018056127	Why did n’t he move or say something, she wondered?
osu.32435018056127	Why did you follow? ” From his pocket he drew a glinting bracelet.
osu.32435018056127	Why had he not thought to barricade that also against thieves?
osu.32435018056127	Why had not this occurred to him before?
osu.32435018056127	Why had n’t he married?
osu.32435018056127	Why had she falsified?
osu.32435018056127	Why had she lowered her veil — why had she denied that she came from his com- pound?
osu.32435018056127	Why in thundering hades had n’t he looked inside before he went on deck?
osu.32435018056127	Why not re- gard this as an impersonal affair?
osu.32435018056127	Why not read me your files? ” He unlocked a drawer of his desk and removed a file cabinet.
osu.32435018056127	Why not?
osu.32435018056127	Why the devil was Hsien Sgam keeping him waiting, and in this infernally hot room, he wondered?
osu.32435018056127	Why, that's prepos- terous! ” “ You question my loyalty? ” A spark showed in the violet eyes — steel under the velvet.
osu.32435018056127	Why?
osu.32435018056127	Why? ” “ Just saw some one leave the compound; must have been he. ” Manlove returned to his chair.
osu.32435018056127	Will Japan — or your Allied Consortium?
osu.32435018056127	Will you leave him to die? ’ ” “ Hardly, ” Kerth answered.
osu.32435018056127	Will you sit down?
osu.32435018056127	Will you tell me what you threw overboard last night? ” Silence followed.
osu.32435018056127	Would it end in discord?
osu.32435018056127	Would n’t it be marvelous if — ” “ If what? ” he encouraged, smiling.
osu.32435018056127	Would you call it fair competition? ” He applied a match to his burnt- out pipe, then re- garded her — quite as intently as she regarded him.
osu.32435018056127	Yet I think I must have been a little mad to have attempted it — but we all are, are n’t we?
osu.32435018056127	Yet why the deuce should he want to put you out of the way? ” A lengthy space of silence followed.
osu.32435018056127	You arrived this afternoon? ” Trent nodded.
osu.32435018056127	You do not question my loyalty, you say; then what reason for re- fusal have you?
osu.32435018056127	You must go?
osu.32435018056127	You see, then, that Chavigny would have had time to reach Gaya; but how in flaming Tophet did he get out of Delhi?
osu.32435018056127	You see? ” Another pause, and he repeated: “ You See? ” She nodded.
osu.32435018056127	You see? ” Another pause, and he repeated: “ You See? ” She nodded.
osu.32435018056127	You will forgive me for assuming the rôle of instructor? ” Trent drew the revolver from beneath his garments; passed it to Hsien Sgam.
osu.32435018056127	You wo n’t go, will you? ” She promised.
osu.32435018056127	You would n’t fill an unclean vessel with holy water, would you?
osu.32435018056127	You're not here alone, are you? ” She did not answer.
osu.32435018056127	do n’t you see? ” He considered a long time before he decided.
osu.32435018056127	for, well, for state purposes — did n’t you? ” Muhafiz Ali answered in the affirmative, still sus- picious.
osu.32435018056127	he wondered — part of a necklace, an ornament?
osu.32435018056127	well, it's so disconcerting not to know what a man is thinking, is n’t it?
osu.32435018056127	‘ ‘ Here- ’ ’ “ Wo n’t you keep it? ” she asked.
osu.32435018056127	‘ ‘ Kane? ’ ’ he asked when he was connected.
osu.32435018056127	‘ ‘ What of the Allied Consortium? ’ ” He imagined he could see a smile upon the Mongol ’s face.
osu.32435018056127	“ A sort of birthright- for- a- mess- of- pottage affair, is n’t it? ” “ I do not comprehend”—thus the Mongol.
osu.32435018056127	“ All is not ready. ” “ But if I was expected before this, then why are n’t they ready? ” The Tchentai was not pleased with that question.
osu.32435018056127	“ Almighty God, why detach a perfectly good doctor, when they have a whole list of Secret Service men? ” Trent only smiled.
osu.32435018056127	“ Alone? ” echoed Muhafiz Ali.
osu.32435018056127	“ Am I so dull that I do not understand when I find a pool of wine under a divan?
osu.32435018056127	“ Am I to be forced to submit to the indignity of being searched? ” Neither Englishman answered, but Trent paused tentatively.
osu.32435018056127	“ And Na- chung? ” “ Na- chung is n’t to be considerel.
osu.32435018056127	“ Anything new about the jewels? ” Manlove smiled to himself.
osu.32435018056127	“ Are you accusing us as a nation of polygamous prac- tices? ’ ’ he asked.
osu.32435018056127	“ Are you alone? ’ ’ was his next question.
osu.32435018056127	“ Are you making me father- confessor, after all? ” She laughed, thus ending a very solemn moment.
osu.32435018056127	“ Are you — making an offer? ” he asked quietly.
osu.32435018056127	“ Been reading the papers lately? ” Manlove lighted his cigarette, glancing furtively at Trent.
osu.32435018056127	“ But do you want to save me?
osu.32435018056127	“ But first — what's this? ’ ’ He held out the oval of silver- overlaid coral, and Trent explained how he had found it.
osu.32435018056127	“ But surely I can leave the compound? ” she objected.
osu.32435018056127	“ But the train? ”."
osu.32435018056127	“ But why not forget that we ever knew each other — and did we ever really know each other?
osu.32435018056127	“ But you do not feel so disposed, for what would it gain you? ” Their eyes met and there followed a quick duel.
osu.32435018056127	“ Ca n’t you feel the night singing in your veins?
osu.32435018056127	“ Captain Manlove? ” he queried.
osu.32435018056127	“ Chavigny? ” He gave her a swift glance.
osu.32435018056127	“ Chavigny? ” Hsien Sgam repeated.
osu.32435018056127	“ Come, Sir Francis, what are you losing in this venture?
osu.32435018056127	“ Could you make another copy, using stones like this? ’ ” For some inexplicable reason Muhafiz Ali felt fright- ened.
osu.32435018056127	“ Could you? ” pressed the sahib, “ or, rather, would you?
osu.32435018056127	“ Could you? ” pressed the sahib, “ or, rather, would you?
osu.32435018056127	“ Did I say there was a road? ” flared the Tibetan.
osu.32435018056127	“ Did not his Excellency Li Kwai Kung speak of cer- tain terraces, each a step toward enlightenment? ” He nodded.
osu.32435018056127	“ Did not you find Tambusami an excellent bearer? ” was her next query — and he imagined her eyes were mocking him.
osu.32435018056127	“ Did you give her the medicine I left? ” “ Yes, Dakktar Sahib It was your medicine that killed her.
osu.32435018056127	“ Do n’t you think it wise, ” she resumed, looking up, “ that we discontinue our association — not our friend- ship — now, to- night?
osu.32435018056127	“ Do you have jade? ” asked the sahib.
osu.32435018056127	“ Do you suppose he had a hand in the jewel affair? ” “ Who?
osu.32435018056127	“ Do you suppose he had a hand in the jewel affair? ” “ Who?
osu.32435018056127	“ Do you think, ” interrogated Kerth, “ you could find her lair without a guide? ” Trent smiled.
osu.32435018056127	“ Do you wish to see me?
osu.32435018056127	“ D’ye think Sarojini knows of her presence? ” “ Miss Charteris?
osu.32435018056127	“ D’ye think Sarojini knows of her presence? ” “ Miss Charteris?
osu.32435018056127	“ Enlightening, is n’t it? ” As he finished, Manlove strode to the door and tossed away his cigarette.
osu.32435018056127	“ Even Euan Kerth? ” he managed to ask calmly.
osu.32435018056127	“ Ever heard of this woman who styles herself the Swaying Cobra? ” ‘ ‘ Never. ’ ’ “ Neither have I. ” A pause.
osu.32435018056127	“ Furthermore, ” Kerth drawled, “ why does n’t she want you to read those instructions until to- morrow?
osu.32435018056127	“ Has Manlove Sahib come in, Ganeesh? ” asked the Englishman.
osu.32435018056127	“ Has anybody ever caught Chavigny?
osu.32435018056127	“ Has he been here long, robbing you of your trade? ” the juggler pursued.
osu.32435018056127	“ Has the heat gone to their heads at Delhi? ” he demanded when he had finished.
osu.32435018056127	“ Have you approximated the value of the stolen gems? ” queried the latter, then went on: “ Millions of pounds!
osu.32435018056127	“ He — took it — ” “ What, Alan, dear? ” “ The scarf — confounded imitation. ” He closed his eyes; opened them an instant later.
osu.32435018056127	“ Here permanently? ” he queried.
osu.32435018056127	“ How do I know that thou hast not summoned Nats to beset my shop and drive away those who might “ BEYOND THE MOON ” 223 buy? ” He rose.
osu.32435018056127	“ How do I know you ’re telling the truth? ” queried Trent, putting forth a feeler.
osu.32435018056127	“ How do I know? ” She gestured impatiently.
osu.32435018056127	“ How'd you get in? ” Kerth indicated the wall.
osu.32435018056127	“ How'd you suspect the wine? ” Trent enquired, unbuttoning his tunic.
osu.32435018056127	“ How? ” Hsien Sgam did not answer immediately.
osu.32435018056127	“ I hope you were n’t ill last night? ” “ Not physically.
osu.32435018056127	“ I mean, is there any one in the back of the shop? ” “ Nay, Sahib l ’ ’ A germ of suspicion took birth in Muhafiz Ali ’s brain.
osu.32435018056127	“ I should be angry — for why did you spy upon me? ” “ I do n’t understand”—this from him.
osu.32435018056127	“ I will do it, O cherisher of the poor. ” “ The price? ” The Mussulman named an outrageous figure — and held his breath.
osu.32435018056127	“ I ’ll be here when you return. ” “ Care to ride up with me? ” ‘ ‘ No.
osu.32435018056127	“ I ’m to infer, then, that in your opinion Chavigny had nothing whatever to do with the robberies? ” She smiled.
osu.32435018056127	“ I ’ve a uniform I want to rid myself of temporarily; do n’t INTERLUDE 123 object if I send it around for you to keep?
osu.32435018056127	“ Is n’t it glorious? ” was her greeting, motioning to- ward the sea where the sun had painted a glittering dragon on the intense blue.
osu.32435018056127	“ Is the City of the Falcon the next? ” “ Ultimately, ” she modified.
osu.32435018056127	“ Is this your first trip to India? ” he heard her ask- ing.
osu.32435018056127	“ Is — is it — that bad? ” He hesitated, then nodded.
osu.32435018056127	“ It reminds me of carnival in New Orleans. ” “ You ’ ve not been disillusioned? ” “ In India?
osu.32435018056127	“ It reminds me of carnival in New Orleans. ” “ You ’ ve not been disillusioned? ” “ In India?
osu.32435018056127	“ Know you those who are in that boat? ” he con- tinued, baiting gossip.
osu.32435018056127	“ Major Trent Sahib? ” he enquired.
osu.32435018056127	“ Major Trent? ” They shook hands.
osu.32435018056127	“ May I wither and turn black if I lie! ” “ What of my muleteers? ” Trent pursued.
osu.32435018056127	“ Must you leave?
osu.32435018056127	“ My orders, O Presence! ” ‘ ‘ Whose orders? ’ ’ ‘ ‘ The Presence knows! ” Trent thought a moment.
osu.32435018056127	“ Of course you ’ ve heard of Chavigny? ” Trent ’s answer was a smile.
osu.32435018056127	“ Really, wo n’t you throw a little more light on the subject? ” “ No, ” she replied in mellifluous tones, with her most distracting smile.
osu.32435018056127	“ Really? ” Her smile grew into a laugh.
osu.32435018056127	“ Really? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435018056127	“ Regarding the trivial matter of your — er — incidentals, I presume you have been told to keep an account and submit it at the proper time?
osu.32435018056127	“ See?
osu.32435018056127	“ Shall I be presuming if I suggest that you give into my keeping that which you have under your robe? ” He smiled.
osu.32435018056127	“ Shall we sit down? ” He halted.
osu.32435018056127	“ Shall we walk? ’ she asked.
osu.32435018056127	“ Sit down, wo n’t you? ” He sank beside her.
osu.32435018056127	“ Suppose I give you — the third? ” “ I ’d prefer not to dance, ” he returned solemnly.
osu.32435018056127	“ Suppose she objects? ” Kerth smiled — an expression that was almost sinister because of his dark, satanic features.
osu.32435018056127	“ Suppose, ” the Mongol resumed, “ I were to say 192 CARAVANS BY NIGHT that plans for such a- you recall what we discussed the other evening?
osu.32435018056127	“ Surely this is n’t all? ” “ You know as much as I do.
osu.32435018056127	“ Tambusami? ’ ” The pink turban inclined forward as he salaamed.
osu.32435018056127	“ Tell me about this Chatterjee. ” When Trent had retold his story, the Head of the Police enquired: “ Where's the telephone?
osu.32435018056127	“ The Church dominates Mongolia, ’ ’ the quiet voice went on, “ and the Dalai Lama is its — how do you say it, Pope?
osu.32435018056127	“ The boatmen are no friends of thine? ” Another grunt.
osu.32435018056127	“ The diamonds alone are worth ten thousand pounds, and — but you do n’t want me to go into detail, do you?
osu.32435018056127	“ There's to be a dance to- night — you knew it? ” He shook his head.
osu.32435018056127	“ They paid well, did they?
osu.32435018056127	“ This is “ That- FALCON ’S NEST 385 Sarojini Nanjee?
osu.32435018056127	“ To Bombay? ” she repeated thoughtfully.
osu.32435018056127	“ Too, I want to tell you, ” Kerth went on, “ that your pretty cobra friend lied to you. ” “ Sarojini? ” Kerth nodded.
osu.32435018056127	“ Was the Presence beginning to believe I had been swallowed up by this strange city? ” Trent drew him into one corner and sat down.
osu.32435018056127	“ Well, what are your terms? ” came at length from him.
osu.32435018056127	“ Well? ” and the word was almost abrupt.
osu.32435018056127	“ Well? ” — as he lighted his pipe.
osu.32435018056127	“ Well? ” “ Did you call, O Presence? ” Sir Francis glared.
osu.32435018056127	“ Well? ” “ Did you call, O Presence? ” Sir Francis glared.
osu.32435018056127	“ Were you well informed as to the terms of the agree- ment? ” she questioned, handing him a cup of claret- hued liquor.
osu.32435018056127	“ What about this? ” Trent inquired, indicating the pendant.
osu.32435018056127	“ What are you going to do with me? ” He made a gesture.
osu.32435018056127	“ What did happen on that night?
osu.32435018056127	“ What did you learn about the design? ” he pressed O11.
osu.32435018056127	“ What do you know of this city, this Shingtse- lunpo? ” “ I know that there are many lamas there, Tajem – oh, many, like the blades of grass!
osu.32435018056127	“ What do you mean? ” “ One of my men failed to put in his appearance last night.
osu.32435018056127	“ What is impossible? ” ‘ ‘ Tibet. ” She chose to smile at that.
osu.32435018056127	“ What is your first question? ” He thrust back the query that came to his tongue and reverted to his conservative tactics.
osu.32435018056127	“ What of Chavigny? ” he asked.
osu.32435018056127	“ What question did you ask that caused him to tell that? ” Having gone so far, Trent ventured a step further.
osu.32435018056127	“ What were you saying, major? ’ ’ asked the Head of the Police, coming out of the bedroom just as he finished.
osu.32435018056127	“ When did it happen, Ranjeet Singh? ’ ” “ Not an hour past, Dakktar Sahib. ” Trent ’s eyes roved up and down the street.
osu.32435018056127	“ When do I start — or do we? ” She shook her head.
osu.32435018056127	“ Where are your por- ters?
osu.32435018056127	“ Where did you get this? ” he demanded.
osu.32435018056127	“ Where is he? ” “ There, Presence!”—with an indefinite wave of his hand.
osu.32435018056127	“ Where's Ganeesh? ” he asked, looking over his shoulder.
osu.32435018056127	“ Where's everybody?
osu.32435018056127	“ Who did this? ” “ Your medicine, Dakktar Sahib l ’ ’ A PIECE OF CORAL 55 Trent shook him roughly.
osu.32435018056127	“ Who is she?
osu.32435018056127	“ Who is this, Sahib? ” 92 CARAVANS BY NIGHT “ My servant. ” Chandra Lal shook his head.
osu.32435018056127	“ Who? ” The native looked amazed at what he evidently con- sidered gross stupidity, and elucidated: “ The he- goat that came to your window!
osu.32435018056127	“ Why did not you tell me? ” “ Why should I? ” Her eyes searched his face; encountered that barrier of impassivity.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why did not you tell me? ” “ Why should I? ” Her eyes searched his face; encountered that barrier of impassivity.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why did you disobey me by bringing this man? ” she demanded, and, assured that Kerth was drugged, dropped gracefully upon the cushions.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why did you drug him? ” he countered.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why did you follow me? ” he demanded, as Tam- busami, sweat flowing from every pore of his brown face, salaamed.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why do rivers run down to the sea, thou dolt? ” he asked — and made a mystic sign, a sign that is known to few.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why dost thou swear by the Lord Gaudama? ” Inwardly, the juggler smiled.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why must a woman have such nar- row man- made boundaries?
osu.32435018056127	“ Why not inquire? ” “ I was instructed to ask no questions, ” he reminded.
osu.32435018056127	“ Why should you think that? ” She shrugged.
osu.32435018056127	“ Will you close the door, please? ” With a speed that would have made his subalterns gasp, he hastened to obey.
osu.32435018056127	“ Wo n’t you accept it? ” The winter- light faded suddenly from her eyes; they shone with a new illumination.
osu.32435018056127	“ Wo n’t you go on? ” — earnestly.
osu.32435018056127	“ Wonder if she ’s anything like her lair? ” “.
osu.32435018056127	“ Would you like to become father- con- fessor? ’ ’ “ Perhaps. ” She let her eyes rest upon him in a curious, con- templative look.
osu.32435018056127	“ You are surprised to see me — like this? ” she en- quired, indicating the bhourka.
osu.32435018056127	“ You are surprised? ” asked Sarojini Nanjee, quite pleased with the effect of her sudden appearance.
osu.32435018056127	“ You believe I lie?
osu.32435018056127	“ You caught him? ” she urged.
osu.32435018056127	“ You recall what happened in the affair of Amar Singh, when your men investigated?
osu.32435018056127	“ You refer, I presume, to the incident at Rangoon — when I came near committing a grave error?
osu.32435018056127	“ You say you suspected the monks? ” “ Not until I reached Shingtse- lunpo. ” 334 CARAVANS BY NIGHT Trent wanted to smile.
osu.32435018056127	“ You took the coral pendant from my room — there at Benares? ” She nodded.
osu.32435018056127	“ You understand?
osu.32435018056127	“ You wish to see me? ” asked the Director of Cen- tral Intelligence.
osu.32435018056127	“ You would rather be put in irons than tell who your master is? ” “ I have no master, Sahib l ’ ’ “ Very well.
osu.32435018056127	“ You — you believe me — don’t you? ” she faltered.
osu.32435018056127	“ You ’ ve learned nothing? ” Trent shook his head.
osu.32435018056127	“ You ’ll need it if you're going in the morning — and you are going?

uc1.b3561848	And as for the method of my procedure, do you realise the complete secrecy of the whole affair?
uc1.b3561848	And has not the idea of successive development supplanted the early conception of spon- taneous perfection?
uc1.b3561848	And then what would you have said?
uc1.b3561848	And what were you wish- ing, Miss Westonhaugh, if I may ask? ” Isaacs came up, and paused beside us.
uc1.b3561848	And when shall it be? ” He seemed suddenly very much interested in this projected contest.
uc1.b3561848	And where is it to come from?
uc1.b3561848	And you, I see, know Miss Westonhaugh? ” “ Yes; what do you think of her? ” “ A charming creature of her type.
uc1.b3561848	And you, I see, know Miss Westonhaugh? ” “ Yes; what do you think of her? ” “ A charming creature of her type.
uc1.b3561848	Anything to be said to these good people, if they question me about your sudden departure? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3561848	Are you married? ” he asked irrelevantly.
uc1.b3561848	But, really, do you care for a yarn? ” I begged him to proceed, and I beckoned the ser- vant to arrange our pipes, that we might not be dis- turbed.
uc1.b3561848	By- the- bye, Mr. Griggs, this new expedition is going to cost us something handsome, eh? ”- “ Why, yes.
uc1.b3561848	By- the- bye, pardon my abrupt- ness, but as there is no one to introduce us, what is your name? ” “ My name is Griggs — Paul Griggs.
uc1.b3561848	Daily Howler?

uc1.b3561848	Did ever an Oriental forgive a debt before even to his own brother?
uc1.b3561848	Did he think you were a likely person for a new Emir of Kabul? ” “ Exactly.

uc1.b3561848	Do you believe in the agency of the stars in human affairs?
uc1.b3561848	Do you deny that you are utterly inconsistent? ” “ I may make you some concession in a few minutes, but I am not going to yield to such logic.
uc1.b3561848	Do you know what you are talking about?
uc1.b3561848	Do you not want to make one in the game? ” “ May I? ” said the young man, grateful to her for having helped him out.

uc1.b3561848	Do you see now?
uc1.b3561848	Do you see that no one but you and I and the Baithopoor people know anything of the transaction?
uc1.b3561848	Do you suppose I want to drag my niece to a premature grave?

uc1.b3561848	Do you think of anything, sleeping or waking, but the one woman for whom you have changed your mind?
uc1.b3561848	Does Kildare know you have sent orders? ” “ Certainly.

uc1.b3561848	Eh?
uc1.b3561848	Griggs of Allahabad?
uc1.b3561848	Griggs? ” said Mr. Currie Ghyrkins.
uc1.b3561848	Griggs? ” she continued.
uc1.b3561848	Ha, ha, how do you think Lord Lytton would like an income- tax, eh? ” And the old fellow chuckled.
uc1.b3561848	Had he not the Maharajah of Baithopoor in his power?

uc1.b3561848	Have you not met her in the spirit as well as in the flesh?
uc1.b3561848	Honestly, was it my own point of view at all?
uc1.b3561848	How are you? ” all in a breath.
uc1.b3561848	How could Miss Westonhaugh save herself from loving such a perfect creature?
uc1.b3561848	How did you do it?
uc1.b3561848	How did you do it?
uc1.b3561848	I am going to give it back to him, of course. ” “ How did Mr. Isaacs know you wanted them? ” asked her uncle, getting red in the face.
uc1.b3561848	I have nothing to conceal. ” “ Do you seriously think of marrying, or proposing to marry, Miss Katharine Westonhaugh? ” MR. ISAACS.
uc1.b3561848	I hope you did not think I was murdering him? ” Isaacs looked annoyed.
uc1.b3561848	I never forget a face, and I am sure it is he – do you understand me now?
uc1.b3561848	I suppose you have no conscience? ” “ Political conscience?
uc1.b3561848	I suppose you have no conscience? ” “ Political conscience?
uc1.b3561848	I was born in Italy. ” “ But when did you learn so many things?
uc1.b3561848	I went to sea once upon a time. ” “ Were you ever in the navy, Mr. Griggs? ”.
uc1.b3561848	Indeed, indeed, why not? ” It must have been pure guess- work, this reading of my thoughts.
uc1.b3561848	Is it well with you? ” “ It is well, Ram Lal.
uc1.b3561848	Is not her picture ever before you, and the breath of her beauty upon your soul?
uc1.b3561848	Is there any pleasure greater than that we enjoy through the happiness of others — in those rare cases where kindness is not misplaced?
uc1.b3561848	Is there anything I can do, after you are gone?
uc1.b3561848	Isaacs! ” still silence, was it possible that he had fallen asleep?
uc1.b3561848	It is a serious matter enough. ” “ But the man — who is he?
uc1.b3561848	It is not a very pretty name to call a young lady, is it? ” “ Why, a griffin, ” put in Mr. Ghyrkins, “ is the “ Mr.
uc1.b3561848	Jolly day, is n’t it? ” and he looked vaguely at the grass.
uc1.b3561848	Ladies constantly go on such expeditions, and they do not appear to be the least in the way. ” “ Objections?
uc1.b3561848	More flowers, perhaps?
uc1.b3561848	No, I have no conscience. ” “ You would really write as willingly for the Con- servatives as you do for the Liberals? ” G 82 MB.
uc1.b3561848	Not through years, or for times, or for ages — but for ever?
uc1.b3561848	Now where is the ‘ lute ” you promised to produce for us?
uc1.b3561848	Of course you do not; you are a European: how should you?
uc1.b3561848	Perhaps we should pity neither, but rather envy both. ” “ Why?
uc1.b3561848	Poor fellow; was there ever a more piteous case?
uc1.b3561848	Pray, under which category would you class marriage?
uc1.b3561848	Shall we not all go as we are, a neat party of six? ” “ Well, well, Mr. Griggs, we shall see, you know.
uc1.b3561848	Shall you ever see a rupee of that money again? ” “ Yes; he will pay me; though I did not think so a week ago, or indeed yesterday.
uc1.b3561848	She will die at sundown. ” “ How do you know, since you say you are no prophet? ” “ Because I am a doctor of medicine.
uc1.b3561848	Shooting tigers on foot?
uc1.b3561848	Think you, because I am gray and loveless, that I have never known youth and gladness of heart?
uc1.b3561848	Was I dreaming?
uc1.b3561848	Was I glad to rejoin my friend?
uc1.b3561848	Was he converted?
uc1.b3561848	We might start a newspaper there, you know, in the Conservative interest. ” “ In the interest of Mr. Algernon Currie Ghyr- kins? ” I inquired.
uc1.b3561848	Well, pardon my interruption, “ if you looked abroad, ” as you were saying?
uc1.b3561848	Westonhaugh? ” “ No.
uc1.b3561848	What are they but an elaborate applica- tion of the higher calculus?
uc1.b3561848	What could be the mat- ter?
uc1.b3561848	What do you mean?
uc1.b3561848	What do you say?
uc1.b3561848	What good deed was the Buddhist referring to if not to the intended liberation of Shere Ali ’ How could he know of it?
uc1.b3561848	What has happened?
uc1.b3561848	What in the world could he mean?
uc1.b3561848	What incongruity could there be in Isaacs marrying Miss Westonhaugh?
uc1.b3561848	What might not have happened in those two days since the note was written?
uc1.b3561848	What saith the Apostle of Allah?
uc1.b3561848	What?
uc1.b3561848	What?
uc1.b3561848	When had I come?
uc1.b3561848	Where did you learn it?
uc1.b3561848	Who was it who lately scoffed at women, their immortality, their virtue, and their intellect?
uc1.b3561848	Why did she avoid his eyes and resort to such a petty little trick as threading a needle in order to get a look at him?
uc1.b3561848	Why did you not? ” Ram Lal smiled a strange smile, which I should have described as self- satisfied, had it not been so gentle and kind.
uc1.b3561848	Why do you not go off with my nephew and Mr. Isaacs and Kildare, and kill as many of them as you like? ” “ I have no objection, I am sure.
uc1.b3561848	Why do you suppose he wants you to abandon the tiger- hunt? ” “ I can not tell.
uc1.b3561848	Why is it so hard to comfort the afflicted?
uc1.b3561848	Why must he necessarily return with her to England, and wear a red coat, and make himself ridiculous at the borough elections?
uc1.b3561848	Why not?
uc1.b3561848	Why not? ” said she.
uc1.b3561848	Why should the most charitable duty it is ever given us to perform be, without exception, the hardest of tasks?
uc1.b3561848	Why will you not tell us the rest now?
uc1.b3561848	Will Miss Weston- haugh recover? ” “ No.
uc1.b3561848	Will you help me?
uc1.b3561848	Will you not keep your word now? ” “ When we are among the tigers, Miss Weston- haugh, next week.
uc1.b3561848	Will you tell me now, friend Abdul, that you have not changed your mind?
uc1.b3561848	Would anything under heaven induce me, Paul Griggs, rich, or poor, or comfort- ably off, to marry any one — Miss Westonhaugh, for instance?
uc1.b3561848	Would you mind very much? ” “ Mind?
uc1.b3561848	Would you mind very much? ” “ Mind?
uc1.b3561848	Would you not believe she had a soul? ” “ There is no end of your ‘ supposing, ” but it is quite pretty.
uc1.b3561848	You are not consistent. ” “ What makes you think I am so cynical? ” I inquired, harking back to gain time.
uc1.b3561848	You remember how she looked the night before you left?
uc1.b3561848	You take your travelling hard. ” “ Where is Ram Lal? ” I asked, curious to learn something of our movements for the night.
uc1.b3561848	You would like me to tell you your fortune?
uc1.b3561848	hal — really too funny of me — that Miss Westonhaugh should go with us. ” “ I suppose you have no objection, Mr. Ghyrkins?
uc1.b3561848	how long would I stay?
uc1.b3561848	how ’s that? ” said Mr. Ghyrkins just waking up.
uc1.b3561848	of Edinburgh. ” “ Why can you not save her then?
uc1.b3561848	or had I been speaking aloud, really putting the questions he answered so quickly and appositively?
uc1.b3561848	or was I pained to leave the woman he loved in her present condition?
uc1.b3561848	was it real?
uc1.b3561848	what brought me here?
uc1.b3561848	what does Kildare care about brother John? ” “ Brother John, as you call him, is a better fellow than he looks.
uc1.b3561848	what?
uc1.b3561848	you to believe in?
uc1.b3561848	“ A love- song? ” asked he quietly.
uc1.b3561848	“ And do you mean to say you let him go off like that?
uc1.b3561848	“ And is it really true, Mr. Isaacs? ” asked Miss Westonhaugh, looking admiringly across at the young man, who seemed rather annoyed.
uc1.b3561848	“ And pray, John, ” she asked, “ what may a griffin be?
uc1.b3561848	“ Are you going to see the polo this afternoon, Miss Westonhaugh?
uc1.b3561848	“ Are you wishing by the new moon, Mr. Griggs? ” she asked.
uc1.b3561848	“ By Gad, sir, if I thought I should get such another chance I would go with you to- morrow! ” “ Why not?
uc1.b3561848	“ By the way, can you help us to make up the num- ber?
uc1.b3561848	“ Clear off those fellows and let me have a look at him, ca n’t you? ” he called out, gathering the tent MR. ISAACS.
uc1.b3561848	“ Could you not sing something without any accom- paniment? ” “ Oh no.
uc1.b3561848	“ Dear uncle, ” said the lady as she rode up, “ I hope you are not hurt? ” She was very handsome as she sat there trying not to laugh.
uc1.b3561848	“ Did you say you were wishing for something, Miss Westonhaugh? ” he asked.
uc1.b3561848	“ Did you see him go?
uc1.b3561848	“ Do I? ” asked the girl absently.
uc1.b3561848	“ Do n’t you think so? ” “ Indeed, yes.
uc1.b3561848	“ Do you see that bright star in the south? ” he said, pointing with his long jewel- set mouthpiece.
uc1.b3561848	“ Forgive my bringing you down to earth again, ” I said after a while, “ but have you made all necessary arrangements?
uc1.b3561848	“ Griggs, why do you not come to Delhi?
uc1.b3561848	“ How are ye?
uc1.b3561848	“ I think I could sing ‘ Drink to me only with thine eyes'— do you know it? ” He began to play the melody on the guitar while he spoke.
uc1.b3561848	“ I trust that our collision in the flesh has had no worse results than our tilts in print, Mr. Ghyrkins? ” “ Not at all.
uc1.b3561848	“ Income- tax?
uc1.b3561848	“ Is it possible you have not guessed?
uc1.b3561848	“ May I?
uc1.b3561848	“ Now what shall I sing?
uc1.b3561848	“ On the whole, perhaps he is to be less pitied than she; who knows?
uc1.b3561848	“ Pleasure or happiness? ” he repeated, “ which is it to be 2 ° A sudden light flashed over my obscured intellect.
uc1.b3561848	“ Shall I go with you? ” asked I, thinking it might be as well.
uc1.b3561848	“ Shall I tell you of the first early stirrings of your love?
uc1.b3561848	“ Shere Ali and Ram Lal? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3561848	“ Thank you, Griggs; how are they all? ” “ It was worth a two- hundred mile ride to see your face when you opened that box.
uc1.b3561848	“ WHY did you not eome and see the game?
uc1.b3561848	“ Was she so pale, then? ” he asked anxiously.
uc1.b3561848	“ Well, ” said I at last, “ have you any fault to find with my reasoning or my simile? ” “ With your simile — none.
uc1.b3561848	“ Well? ” I said anxiously.
uc1.b3561848	“ What are those youngsters talking about, back there?
uc1.b3561848	“ What became of the ball? ” he asked quickly, as he sat up.
uc1.b3561848	“ What do you suppose I found when we got back this afternoon, Mr. Griggs?
uc1.b3561848	“ What do you think of Ram Lal? ” he asked, when Narain had brought hookahs and sherbet.
uc1.b3561848	“ What do you think of me? ” he asked, smiling.
uc1.b3561848	“ What is it? ” he asked.
uc1.b3561848	“ What is the matter, Katharine** he asked kindly, “ Have you a headache this evening? ” She was just then staring rather blankly into space.
uc1.b3561848	“ What is the matter? ” he said; then, recollecting himself and trying to move his head—“Oh!
uc1.b3561848	“ What makes you think he is a yogi, dog? ” he inquired in a milder tone.
uc1.b3561848	“ Why not? ” was the question I repeated to myself over and over again in the half minute ’s pause after Isaacs finished speaking.
uc1.b3561848	“ Why? ” said Isaacs.
uc1.b3561848	“ Will you back me for a place?
uc1.b3561848	“ Will you please to explain what you mean by his paying you in man? ” I asked.

uiug.30112002608716	Could we trust him, in any case?
uiug.30112002608716	Did you come to close straits be- fore you made the other side?"
uiug.30112002608716	Did you hear any mention of one Dona Carmen Gon- zales?
uiug.30112002608716	Do ye take me for a ghost? ” It was the same old hearty, sea- rough voice that we knew so well.
uiug.30112002608716	Do you mean to keep them or sell them?"
uiug.30112002608716	Do you recall that I once asked you whence they hailed?"
uiug.30112002608716	Does she not begin to luff?
uiug.30112002608716	For one thing, where would you obtain a boat?
uiug.30112002608716	Have you leisure to give me a few minutes of your time?"
uiug.30112002608716	Have you, then, so much salt water in your veins as will overbear the objections?
uiug.30112002608716	He does not yet possess the prize. ” “ And how is that?"
uiug.30112002608716	He that yarned so concerning Mor- gan?
uiug.30112002608716	He would listen no otherwise. ” “ And the crew?
uiug.30112002608716	How as to a compromise in time?
uiug.30112002608716	How dare I say this to you?
uiug.30112002608716	How dare you hold thus against us?
uiug.30112002608716	I cried, delighted, “ and what is he doing here?"
uiug.30112002608716	I made all these observations in one or two careful glances, and the question now was what was her purpose and why was she pursuing us?
uiug.30112002608716	I tak'it the man micht listen to a bit compromise. ” “ As what? ” said I.
uiug.30112002608716	I trow every jack of you has heard of Henry Morgan?"
uiug.30112002608716	I “ Will it be brawly dressed fowk?"
uiug.30112002608716	I\ “ Well, what is to be done?
uiug.30112002608716	If you are about to go below will you not ask Mr. Tym to step up hither? ” MASTER ARDICK, BUCCANEER.
uiug.30112002608716	In what sort could we behave if we refused his offers?
uiug.30112002608716	Is not that a sail out yonder?"
uiug.30112002608716	Is there no back way?"
uiug.30112002608716	Is this as you would have it?"
uiug.30112002608716	Nay?
uiug.30112002608716	Our captain can give you more of this matter. ” “ And where, think you, went your escaping mutineers?
uiug.30112002608716	Remember you not the magpie from the Happy Bess?
uiug.30112002608716	Say we would agree — under this stress — to cover the villainy for a period?
uiug.30112002608716	Say we would swear to be secret till the end of the ex- pedition?
uiug.30112002608716	Say you have her out, what then?
uiug.30112002608716	So we can agree upon terms, what say you to the place?
uiug.30112002608716	Suppose one were in- tent on the capture of a slave, for instance, must he needs let everybody in while he is about it?
uiug.30112002608716	The boat must, of course, catch us, and how could we hope to contend with her fierce and numer- ous crew?
uiug.30112002608716	Then why would he not agree to the compromise?
uiug.30112002608716	Thence it is a straight course to the water. ” “ These gardens border upon what?"
uiug.30112002608716	To come speedily as may be to my ship is my only hope, and even then — who can say what may intervene?"
uiug.30112002608716	We had no doubt that the man was the captain, for who else could be executed at such a time?
uiug.30112002608716	What do you seek? ”- “ Hist, hist!
uiug.30112002608716	What have the Spaniards done to us that we should deal with them in such a fashion?
uiug.30112002608716	What is to prevent us from claim- ing these people as our, slaves?
uiug.30112002608716	What is your counsel, Master Tym?
uiug.30112002608716	What may we do in such a strait?
uiug.30112002608716	What say you, Mac Ivrach?
uiug.30112002608716	What say you, Mas- ter Sellinger, have you a sharp word back?
uiug.30112002608716	What say you, Master Ardick?
uiug.30112002608716	What say you, friends? ” he concluded, turning to us.
uiug.30112002608716	What will avail to remove the obstacles, including the chief one, which must be the opposition of your uncle?
uiug.30112002608716	What would be some feasible compromise?
uiug.30112002608716	When did he heave in sight?"
uiug.30112002608716	When was this dreadful business accomplished, and by whom?
uiug.30112002608716	Where got you this meat, and where is the other prog and the wine?"
uiug.30112002608716	Whither would you fly?
uiug.30112002608716	Why not by water?"
uiug.30112002608716	Why not?
uiug.30112002608716	Will it do to set a bit more sail?
uiug.30112002608716	Will you take a letter for us? ” “ Aye, aye!
uiug.30112002608716	Would it suit you to enter the employ of a merchant?
uiug.30112002608716	Would you threaten the soldiers of his Excellency ’s own guard?"
uiug.30112002608716	it with the other sefiores?
uiug.30112002608716	what means this? ” growled a fellow, seemingly the leader.
uiug.30112002608716	“ All ready aloft?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ And St. Catherine‘s?
uiug.30112002608716	“ And how learned you all this?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ And how was that?
uiug.30112002608716	“ And is your companion who went be- low she?
uiug.30112002608716	“ And so, ” he said with an odd kind of precision, “ that is the thing behind the lighter?
uiug.30112002608716	“ And why say you so?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ And you said that Mr. Tym and the captain were from Southampton and Mac Ivrach from Glas- gow?
uiug.30112002608716	“ And you saw us, and urged the raft along?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ And you swear accordingly? ” went on Pradey.
uiug.30112002608716	“ Any alarms, Tonto?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Anything is better than beating about all ways in the wind. ” “ Well, then, ” he began, to make a start, “ how is it with a trade?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Are you certain?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Are you ready, Master Sellinger?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ As what, sir?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Aye, ” he answered in the same key; “ it is all odds that she comes from Panama. ” “ Is it as far wrong as that?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Belay jaw tackle, will you?
uiug.30112002608716	“ But granting this, what then?
uiug.30112002608716	“ But the fisher village?
uiug.30112002608716	“ But there were others? ” resumed the captain, after a little.
uiug.30112002608716	“ But what then?
uiug.30112002608716	“ By water? ” said I, in some surprise.
uiug.30112002608716	“ Can we make a sufficient defence, think you? ” “ Nay, ” he answered coolly, “ not if they stand to it with heart.
uiug.30112002608716	“ Can we find a more suitable person to give us the news?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Can you doubt me?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Captain, ’ put in Mac Ivrach, who had been quietly listening, “ what think ye o ’ a disguise?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Carlos, ” she began — oh, the sweetness of the Spanish tongue!- “ is this indeed how it is with you?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Do we quarter in the place to- night?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Hast heard what Captain Morgan is now about?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Have we not as good a right to the loot of this place as you?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Have you a message of another sort?
uiug.30112002608716	“ He did not despise you?
uiug.30112002608716	“ How came it about?
uiug.30112002608716	“ How does it happen that I am here? ” I said; “ and in what manner was I delivered from Pradey.7"“ I killed the villain,"he answered quietly.
uiug.30112002608716	“ How fared you?
uiug.30112002608716	“ How fares it with the other?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ How fares it?
uiug.30112002608716	“ How near is she, captain, to fetch a guess?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ I refer not to the poor don, for we know he is slain, but how as to his wife?
uiug.30112002608716	“ In the hands of the buccaneers — of the Englishpzl rates?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Is it not light enough to scan the deck?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Is it true that Pana- ma is in the hands of the buccaneers?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Is not that still more hazardous?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Is not the buccaneer recovering himself in some sort?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Is’t you, Ardick?
uiug.30112002608716	“ It ’s us, sir — Toby Hedge and Tom Flyng. ” “ What do you want, Hedge and Flyng?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Know you not of that?
uiug.30112002608716	“ May I ask if you have considered all that goes with your proposition?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Must we pass through the great hall?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Of what sort are the mate's plans?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ On deck, there, how fares it?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Pray, uponwhat business was your ship, and what was she doing in these waters?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Station me, and I will fight. ” “ And you, Mac Ivrach? ” Mr. Tym proceeded.
uiug.30112002608716	“ The same. ” “ And Blyte?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Then how say you, ” he finally began, “ to tak- ing up with the sea?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Towland claiming under the law of first hand- laying? ” pursued Mr. Tym.
uiug.30112002608716	“ Well, and how is it with you now?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Well, friends, ” said Mr. Tym, facing about and preserving his same voice and manner, “ what say you?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Well, then, ” said the captain, “ why seek to go by land?
uiug.30112002608716	“ What do you see?
uiug.30112002608716	“ What is doing?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ What is our present destination?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ What is the last great thing Morgan has done?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ What manner of light is that?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ What may be your question, sir?
uiug.30112002608716	“ What ship is that?
uiug.30112002608716	“ What want you?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ What was that talk of pirates?
uiug.30112002608716	“ What will you do with us if we comply?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Where away?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Where bound? ” came from the other trumpet.
uiug.30112002608716	“ Whither are you bound?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Whither now?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Who is there?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Why, friends, do n’t ye know me?
uiug.30112002608716	“ Will he still hold on?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Will they be burning the town?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ Will you not take her in at the chains?"
uiug.30112002608716	“ You are safe, then? ” I said.
uiug.30112002608716	“ You ratify this, friends? ” Mac Ivrach and I promptly assented.
uiug.30112002608716	“ You think it suspicious to raise a sail in that quarter?
uiug.30112002608716	“ You will examine me in some sort, as to my fitness?
uiug.30112002608716	” Here Mac Ivrach, who had been giving close heed, put in a word: “ Is there no a middle course?
uiug.30112002608716	” “ And how long will their hell's work last? ” I saiddespondently.
uiug.30112002608716	” “ And this thing that you were telling? ” he went on, ignoring my exclamation.
uiug.30112002608716	” “ Diablo/ what say you?
uiug.30112002608716	” “ Do you surrender?"
uiug.30112002608716	” “ How?
uiug.30112002608716	” “ In the cabin? ” he only exclaimed, as in won- derment.
uiug.30112002608716	” “ There to be removed from the horrors we must see here?
uiug.30112002608716	” “ We will carry you back, and Morgan shall judge you. ” “, And what, ” pursued Mr. Tym calmly, “ will you do with the lady?
uiug.30112002608716	” “ What manner of terms does Master Pradey offer? ” spoke up Mr. Tym, somewhat to my sur- prise.
uiug.30112002608716	” “ Why, no,"he answered, a little perplexed; “ but what then? ” “ Will he trust us, in turn?
uiug.30112002608716	” “ Why, no,"he answered, a little perplexed; “ but what then? ” “ Will he trust us, in turn?

osu.32435058057456	Do they make any threats?
osu.32435058057456	Do you know her? ” “ VVhy — er — maybe I do, ” said Waring stammeringly.

osu.32435058057456	Him?

osu.32435058057456	How do you know? ” “ There was a man named Carey Haig, ” said Bergson.
osu.32435058057456	How does he know?
osu.32435058057456	How ’d it get out?
osu.32435058057456	How ’d they hear me?
osu.32435058057456	However: “ Better let me have the brooch, then, had n’t you? ” he said.

osu.32435058057456	I described Waring to him, and he rec- ognised him at once. ” “ Knew Waring? ” cried Herkomer.
osu.32435058057456	I want to take a nap. ” “ You prefer to be forced, then? ” asked Bergson.
osu.32435058057456	I was goin’ to dig clams. ” “ Why did n’t you bring it to me at once? ” “ Well, I had to dig the clams, did n’t I?

osu.32435058057456	Meantime, was n’t it sufficient that he had the financier ’s confidential secretary ’s word for it that Conybear was all right?
osu.32435058057456	Money — anything? ” “ Not a thing.

osu.32435058057456	Sinsabaugh, some months ago, in Paris, I should not have an ac- quaintance in this country. ” “ No relatives? ” “ Distant.
osu.32435058057456	Something bigger than fifty million, eh? ” “ Much bigger, ” said Bergson placidly.
osu.32435058057456	Still, why should that gang wish to kill Waring ’s servant?
osu.32435058057456	Suppose you ’d never been in Paris in your life?

osu.32435058057456	Tell me — where do you come in, anyway?
osu.32435058057456	That sounds as though he had been in the house. ” “ How could he?
osu.32435058057456	That ’s all there was. ” “ Did you hear the address they gave? ” The starter shook his head.
osu.32435058057456	The business was narrowing down — but nar- rowing down to what?
osu.32435058057456	The man that cashed a check drawn by Philip Waring, this morn- ing? ” “ Sh- sh! ” Grimfel ’s eyes pleaded.
osu.32435058057456	The “ Society ”?
osu.32435058057456	Then why should Waring suffer through Carvajal ’s fault?
osu.32435058057456	They will be here — ” “ Who? ” “ Bergson knows that you — are not Carva- jal.
osu.32435058057456	This capitalised Society?

osu.32435058057456	Well, what ’s the orders, Commissioner? ” Herkomer could dream and speculate and wrinkle his brows; he could also think and act quickly.
osu.32435058057456	Well?
osu.32435058057456	Were there other mysteries, as complex, as fraught with menace, threaten- ing other dwellers in this city?
osu.32435058057456	What about it? ” Waring controlled his features as best he could.
osu.32435058057456	What about it? ” “ Looks like there might be something in it, Commissioner. ” “ Eh?
osu.32435058057456	What about it? ” “ Looks like there might be something in it, Commissioner. ” “ Eh?
osu.32435058057456	What about it? ” “ Nothing much, ” answered the Commis- sioner.
osu.32435058057456	What about those others? ” Herkomer looked the young banker over carefully.
osu.32435058057456	What are they doing? ” “ What do they ever do except run up an expense- bill? ” demanded Kelcey scornfully.

osu.32435058057456	What meant all this late restlessness?
osu.32435058057456	What say? ” Waring sat down; he lighted a cigarette.
osu.32435058057456	What the deuce had Phil been doing?
osu.32435058057456	What then? ” “ Then we will talk of other matters, Mr. Conybear. ” “ H’m!
osu.32435058057456	What was this “ society ” that the writer men- tioned?
osu.32435058057456	What ’s the answer?

osu.32435058057456	Why had n’t Henderson, or Chesley, told Herkomer about the note, that he had himself written it, when Herkomer telephoned?
osu.32435058057456	Why on earth had n’t he con- trolled himself?
osu.32435058057456	Why should Bergson suspect?
osu.32435058057456	Why should any one follow him?
osu.32435058057456	Why should old Cony- bear have written such a note?

osu.32435058057456	Why?
osu.32435058057456	Will you come, now? ” Old Conybear stared at the weapon repos- ing on Meehan ’s knee.
osu.32435058057456	Will you leave quietly, or must I ring for some one to throw you out? ” de- manded Waring.
osu.32435058057456	Yes?
osu.32435058057456	You are n’t afraid to work? ” “ Oh, no.
osu.32435058057456	You are n’t lying down, are you?
osu.32435058057456	You came here, on the Montam'a, as Jacques Pelletier, eh?
osu.32435058057456	You come as you are, and you come now, d’ye hear? ” “ I hear, ” said WVaring.
osu.32435058057456	You never seen him be- fore, did you? ” This demanded the lie direct; Waring hesi- tated, but imperceptibly.
osu.32435058057456	You people have caught the elephant, all right, but what you going to do with him?
osu.32435058057456	You read what the note says about a hundred million dollars — about a new combination?
osu.32435058057456	You saw him? ” Malcolm shook his head.
osu.32435058057456	You thought of that? ” Conybear waved his hands.
osu.32435058057456	You want money from us already? ” Again Waring shrugged his shoulders.
osu.32435058057456	You wished to speak with me? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058057456	You ’re American too. ” “ How ’d you know? ” demanded Waring.
osu.32435058057456	Your name is — Philip Waring? ” “ Why, yes, ” said Waring, surprised.
osu.32435058057456	Y’understand? ” It was as close to an apology for his rude- ness as old Conybear ever came, and the valet bowed.
osu.32435058057456	\Vas anything wrong?
osu.32435058057456	\Vas he located? ” “ Yes, sir.

osu.32435058057456	“ And after that? ” “ You are a man, Carvajal, ” cried Bergson.
osu.32435058057456	“ And let her get the reward when I ai n’t had anythin ’ to smoke for a week?
osu.32435058057456	“ And will I be needed to testify? ” she asked Herkomer.
osu.32435058057456	“ And — Phil, ca n’t you give me a hint? ” “ Not now, old man. ” Waring peered down the side- street.
osu.32435058057456	“ Are you sure that Miss Sorel will be there?
osu.32435058057456	“ Bostwick?

osu.32435058057456	“ But how do you know I ai n’t been followed to- day? ” Bergson shrugged his shoulders.
osu.32435058057456	“ But leaving a trinket at a friend ’s house hardly comes under the ‘ lost and found ’ category, does it?
osu.32435058057456	“ But what made the man run?

osu.32435058057456	“ But you do n’t want to die just yet, do you? ” asked Herkomer.
osu.32435058057456	“ But you spoke of kidnapping?
osu.32435058057456	“ But — supposin ’ you get my cash reserve?
osu.32435058057456	“ Can it possibly mean more than what is happening now? ” cried Symons.
osu.32435058057456	“ Come with me, will you? ” “ Surely! ” Sinsabaugh was on his feet.
osu.32435058057456	“ Do you honestly think you can get away with much more than you ’ve got away with to- day? ” He stumped toward the RANSOM!
osu.32435058057456	“ Do?

osu.32435058057456	“ Dora?
osu.32435058057456	“ Excuse me, sir, but — you, perhaps are n’t aware of the system of guards out here? ” Herkomer felt himself blush.
osu.32435058057456	“ Go on?
osu.32435058057456	“ Got whom? ” he rasped.
osu.32435058057456	“ Have you a blank check? ” he asked the detec- tive.
osu.32435058057456	“ How much did some one give you to tell this story? ” asked Herkomer.
osu.32435058057456	“ How much is Mr. Conybear worth to you-——alive? ” Herkomer hesitated.
osu.32435058057456	“ How much — say, what d’ye think I am? ” “ A liar! ” snapped Herkomer.
osu.32435058057456	“ How ’ll you have it, Mr. Conybear? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057456	“ I am, am I?
osu.32435058057456	“ I s’pose you think forty miles is crawlin ’, doneha? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057456	“ I take it you been usin ’ that little bridge- builder, Commissioner? ” Herkomer laughed.
osu.32435058057456	“ I — who is this talking? ” “ Henderson, Mr. Conybear ’s valet, sir, and confidential secretary, in a way, sir, too.
osu.32435058057456	“ I ’d like to talk this matter over with you? ” Bergson ’s smile broadened.
osu.32435058057456	“ If I do n’t, I suppose Mr. Bill Husband will, eh? ” Mrs. Willy nodded.
osu.32435058057456	“ Inasmuch as Hender- son has been mailing your letters, did it mat- ter to whom you applied for aid? ” RANSOM!
osu.32435058057456	“ Is he at that hotel? ” “ He was, ” said Herkomer grimly.
osu.32435058057456	“ Is that what he says? ” Sergeant Kelcey shook his head.
osu.32435058057456	“ Is there anything else I can do for you, Commissioner? ” asked the railroad man.
osu.32435058057456	“ Is this the only letter you have received? ” asked Mechan.
osu.32435058057456	“ It will go easier with you if you put up that revolver. ” “ So? ” The lean man smiled cruelly.
osu.32435058057456	“ Kelcey, sketch in the bare places, will you? ” Kelcey grinned.
osu.32435058057456	“ Mademoiselle is annoyed? ” he asked again.

osu.32435058057456	“ Need anything?
osu.32435058057456	“ No one else. ” “ The police? ” suggested Meehan.
osu.32435058057456	“ No? ” said Bergson.
osu.32435058057456	“ Not admitting for a moment that you are right in this matter of identity — why the lady part of it? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057456	“ Say?
osu.32435058057456	“ See the wires? ” “ A dicto — ” gasped the astonished mil- lionaire, flashing a look of swift suspicion at his visitors.
osu.32435058057456	“ Shall they bring him in? ” “ If they find him.
osu.32435058057456	“ She says you have; why he to me? ” de- manded Bergson.
osu.32435058057456	“ So?
osu.32435058057456	“ So?
osu.32435058057456	“ Suppose I show you how you could have been overheard? ” Conybear ’s jaw dropped.
osu.32435058057456	“ Suppose you people can ferret out any- thing, eh? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057456	“ The Greenhams?
osu.32435058057456	“ The door?"
osu.32435058057456	“ The matters we know of? ” Waring shook his head.

osu.32435017803024	Krantz told me when we were alone on the way back to New Work. ” “ And so you think Harris lied to me? ” “ No.
osu.32435017803024	Moreover, that will doubtless be recovered. ” “ Do you think so?
osu.32435017803024	Moreover, what should I do?
osu.32435017803024	Naturally you never knew this was my game — how could you?
osu.32435017803024	Neither one of you can get away on that sort of dope. ” “ Perhaps not; but it clears her of the murder charge. ” “ Oh, does it?
osu.32435017803024	OUT OF DARKNESS, A CLEW 225 “ When was that? ” I was using the towel by this time, eying the loquacious speaker over the edge.
osu.32435017803024	Oh, you mean 108?
osu.32435017803024	One of your class? ” I questioned, thoroughly angered by his sneer- ing speech.
osu.32435017803024	Part o'this boodle's mine, ai n’t it? ” “ Y- yes — of course. ” “ Well, then, cough it up!
osu.32435017803024	Perhaps you are justified, if you think me a Chilean. ” “ Are you not? ” “ No, I am not Chilean, Mr. Severn.
osu.32435017803024	Perhaps you do not live near? ” “ I do not, ” I replied frankly.
osu.32435017803024	S'pose he wus the duck who did that job, sir? ” “ He might have been, of course.
osu.32435017803024	Say, I believe this Russian guy is the buck who got Alva. ” “ Do you think so?
osu.32435017803024	Say, he's nothing to you, is he? ” “ No; I have n’t any use for his sort. ”- “ By God, I thought as much.
osu.32435017803024	Severn? ” another woman's voice.
osu.32435017803024	She bring the word. ” “ She?
osu.32435017803024	She knew my address; where I could be reached by phone; why, then, should she ignore me so completely?
osu.32435017803024	She was involved in this criminal conspiracy — there could be no doubt as to that — but why?
osu.32435017803024	Should I endeavor to escape from the house alone, and then return to her rescue with help?
osu.32435017803024	Sneaked in, did yer?
osu.32435017803024	So far so good; but now what about the Russian?
osu.32435017803024	So you are the friend of Horner, alias Har- ris?
osu.32435017803024	So you two are in cahoots, hey?
osu.32435017803024	Somewhere there was a mysterious hand operating — but whose hand?
osu.32435017803024	Soon he will arrive; then they go out together — see? ” “ Her home is some distance? ” “ Five- six blocks.
osu.32435017803024	Soon he will arrive; then they go out together — see? ” “ Her home is some distance? ” “ Five- six blocks.
osu.32435017803024	Suppose I tell you I have n’t the slightest idea where that money is, or who got it?
osu.32435017803024	Surely you heard what happened? ” “ Oh, yes.
osu.32435017803024	Surely you understand that? ” “ Of course — International brotherhood.
osu.32435017803024	THE DAGGER HAT- PIN 143 “ Then you were not really a friend of that Horner?
osu.32435017803024	That makes one hell of a straight case, do n’t it? ” “ The way you put it — yes. ” He leaned forward to make his point more em- phatic.
osu.32435017803024	That skirt wore it in her hat when she and Alva went out together. ”- “ Oh, did she?
osu.32435017803024	That was his wife, was n’t it, where you sent me this afternoon? ” She turned toward me in surprise.
osu.32435017803024	That's our business, you'll admit. ” “ Sure; what was it?
osu.32435017803024	That's what I was doing last night, bluffing him out. ” “ I tell Daly?
osu.32435017803024	The agent he tell me. ” “ The agent?
osu.32435017803024	The one thing we do not know is — did Alva start home alone; or did one of the men accompany him?
osu.32435017803024	The paper says he was plucked clean when the police found the body. ” “ And you do n’t know who the assassin was? ” “ No.
osu.32435017803024	The woman what keeps the house?
osu.32435017803024	Then who the hell did?
osu.32435017803024	Then why did you come? ” “ Because I wanted to find you, ” I confessed frank- ly.
osu.32435017803024	There is nothing to worry over now. ” “ They did not get the money? ” “ No, that is clear enough.
osu.32435017803024	There is only one certain way in which to satisfy your curiosity. ” “ You were instructed not to answer?
osu.32435017803024	They come in here and buy, but I never ask the names; it was all cash, so why should I care?
osu.32435017803024	They trust her — is it not enough?
osu.32435017803024	This information I must positively take back with me. ” “ When do you return? ” “ On the midnight train.
osu.32435017803024	This is 247, is it not?
osu.32435017803024	This is a neutral land, yet what else can this conspiracy contemplate but cowardly destruc- tion?
osu.32435017803024	This is not a final parting, I hope? ” “ Perhaps so, perhaps not.
osu.32435017803024	This same pin, was it?
osu.32435017803024	Thought you ’d play me for a damn fool, did you, Daly?
osu.32435017803024	To achieve delay, and thus gain opportunity, had he inter- cepted, or even changed, the code message, sent by Alva to Washington?
osu.32435017803024	Violation of international law?
osu.32435017803024	Was he also endeavoring to avoid me?
osu.32435017803024	Was he in this deal?
osu.32435017803024	Was her appeal to me an effort at assistance?
osu.32435017803024	Was she blindly endeavoring to learn in this way if I was worthy of trust, and confidence?
osu.32435017803024	Was some one else grasping for this prize also?
osu.32435017803024	Was that her idea?
osu.32435017803024	Was there then any way in which I could find her?
osu.32435017803024	Was this engagement for to- morrow a decoy?
osu.32435017803024	We are together, are we not?
osu.32435017803024	We believe we know already who got the money. ” “ You — you think you — you know? ” he could not keep the tremble out of his voice.
osu.32435017803024	We lick Germany — hey? ” “ Oh, I do n’t know; she seems to be more than • holding her own. ” “ Ach, yes.
osu.32435017803024	Well, now that kind of a guy, in on a raw deal like this, is going to play safe, is n't he?
osu.32435017803024	Well, then it may interest you to know that I am going now to meet Ivan Waldron. ” “ Does he know it? ” “ He does not.
osu.32435017803024	Well, then, answer this — what do you think of Perond's? ” “ Actually I am unable to realize where I am, ” I answered honestly.
osu.32435017803024	Well, what did you do with it? ” I shook my head, but this only angered Costigan.
osu.32435017803024	Were you waiting for this Horner — alias Harris — then? ” “ We met later. ” Her lips smiled a little, and her eyes.
osu.32435017803024	What about that arrangement, Mr. Horner? ” I recognized Harris in the reply, his voice perfectly calm and confident.
osu.32435017803024	What ancient, and long- buried message, was about to be unfolded?
osu.32435017803024	What cause could transform this woman, this smiling- faced girl, into a murderess?
osu.32435017803024	What could ever have driven so womanly a woman to such an association?
osu.32435017803024	What could have caused her to place confidence in me?
osu.32435017803024	What could it be other than a desire to share the ill- gotten spoils of murder and robbery?
osu.32435017803024	What could it be?
osu.32435017803024	What could it mean, but that she was secretly ashamed to permit of my full understanding?
osu.32435017803024	What did you make of it? ” She drew her eyes together, leaving the marks of a frown on her forehead.
osu.32435017803024	What differ- ence if she be in our service?
osu.32435017803024	What do I really know?
osu.32435017803024	What do you say, Daly? ” So my name was “ Daly. ” Well, that was interest- ing at least, although it gave me no new light.
osu.32435017803024	What do you say? ” I could hear the other tramping nervously back and forth across the room.
osu.32435017803024	What do you say? ” I had the whole story now in a nutshell, and it was one to think over.
osu.32435017803024	What do you want me to do — kill you, and then hunt?
osu.32435017803024	What does she know about her husband? ” The girl laughed softly.
osu.32435017803024	What else had he done to this end already?
osu.32435017803024	What further steps might be safely taken alone?
osu.32435017803024	What gave you such a suspicion?
osu.32435017803024	What had occurred in the meanwhile?
osu.32435017803024	What is that? ” OUT OF DARKNESS, A CLEW 219 lows would never follow.
osu.32435017803024	What is the idea? ” He laughed, without changing his attitude.
osu.32435017803024	What is the story? ” “ Positively none, ” he admitted regretfully.
osu.32435017803024	What is the workmanship — surely not Japanese? ” “ No, ” smilingly.
osu.32435017803024	What is this, a double- cross, Waldron? ” “ What you mean? ” ejaculated the other.
osu.32435017803024	What is this, a double- cross, Waldron? ” “ What you mean? ” ejaculated the other.
osu.32435017803024	What is your name? ” “ D- Daly, Harry Daly. ”-, “ You seem to have some difficulty to- night in re- membering names.
osu.32435017803024	What number? ” “ 247 Le Compte.
osu.32435017803024	What part would Harris take to further his ends?
osu.32435017803024	What possible object could he have in such a confession unless he was convinced I was one of his kind? ” “ I could n't answer that.
osu.32435017803024	What readjustment of plans would Harris consider necessary?
osu.32435017803024	What security did they have? ” “ Captain Alva he signed with me, that was all.

osu.32435017803024	What should I do with that?

osu.32435017803024	What the devil was the name? ” “ Alva, Gustave Alva. ” “ That's it!
osu.32435017803024	What the hell could I do?
osu.32435017803024	What then? ” Harris'grin was more malicious and hateful than ever, but he waited and deliberately lit his stump of a cigar.
osu.32435017803024	What was his purpose now?
osu.32435017803024	What was it I saw in the pa- per?
osu.32435017803024	What was the party like who was to call for the girl?
osu.32435017803024	What work from the dead sought revealment?

osu.32435017803024	What's the idea?
osu.32435017803024	What's the idea? ” His face darkened, and he let out an oath.
osu.32435017803024	What's up?
osu.32435017803024	What, even if I found opportunity?
osu.32435017803024	Where did you glimpse her? ” “ In a saloon at the end of the block.
osu.32435017803024	Where did you plant the stuff? ” “ It's put away in a safety vault, ” Wine explained, his voice almost failing him.
osu.32435017803024	Where is it now?
osu.32435017803024	Where is that?
osu.32435017803024	Where was you?

osu.32435017803024	Who could be calling me at this hour?
osu.32435017803024	Who could he mean but the same girl who had been waiting in the saloon?
osu.32435017803024	Who do you suppose did it? ”| “ The police seem to have no clew, ” I answered, as- tounded by her calmness.
osu.32435017803024	Who except she alone in this city knew my name and hotel?
osu.32435017803024	Who has it? ” “ The fellow who put a knife into Alva — whoever he may be.

osu.32435017803024	Who was the agent?
osu.32435017803024	Who was the fellow?
osu.32435017803024	Who?
osu.32435017803024	Why I did not instantly denounce you to those men in the other room?
osu.32435017803024	Why are you here, and how?
osu.32435017803024	Why did n't he help himself before? ” “ How could he?
osu.32435017803024	Why did n't he help himself before? ” “ How could he?
osu.32435017803024	Why else should you assume such risks?
osu.32435017803024	Why had she so deliberately saved me from discovery by those others — her companions?
osu.32435017803024	Why had she stood there, her hand on the door, and talked to me in that mock- ing way?
osu.32435017803024	Why should it go in?
osu.32435017803024	Why should she have sought me out, or lis- tened so intently to the quarrel of those two men at Perond's?
osu.32435017803024	Why should they suppose you know anything? ” “ Largely because we were together at Perond's, I presume.

osu.32435017803024	Why, then, did she trust me — if it was trust?
osu.32435017803024	Why, what do you mean? ” her eyes wid- ened, with sudden apprehension.
osu.32435017803024	Will you pledge your- self to do whatever I say? ” “ Within any reasonable limits — yes. ” “ Limits!
osu.32435017803024	Will you? ” “ Yes. ” “ Do not mistake the number.
osu.32435017803024	Would I ever dare the at- tempt?
osu.32435017803024	Would he come forward, or sit down again?
osu.32435017803024	Would it be a man, or woman?
osu.32435017803024	Would it continue under some other leadership?
osu.32435017803024	Would she in some way reveal the nature of her own connection with this vile political conspiracy?
osu.32435017803024	Would she innocently play into his hands?
osu.32435017803024	Would the fellow dare?
osu.32435017803024	Yet how did she know I had it?
osu.32435017803024	Yet what could I hope to do toward learning the truth?
osu.32435017803024	Yet what could account for such an act?
osu.32435017803024	Yet what could he say otherwise to account for the killing of Harris?
osu.32435017803024	Yet what could she be concealing which I did not already know?

osu.32435017803024	Yet what possible way suggested itself?
osu.32435017803024	Yet where could I remain to observe his arrival?
osu.32435017803024	You accepted me on blind faith before; I wonder if you are willing to do it again? ” “ I can hardly refuse. ” “ Answered like a gentleman.
osu.32435017803024	You ai n't no fly- cop? ” “ Nothing of the kind. ” “ Then you was after the dough.
osu.32435017803024	You are goin’ to cop off enough to pay that note to- morrow, ai n't you?
osu.32435017803024	You are not from New York, I make it? ” “ No; Boston has always been my home. ” “ Once I live there, too; when I first come north from Rio.
osu.32435017803024	You are one of these men? ” “ Not exactly, ” I had to admit.
osu.32435017803024	You are still willing to go where I ask, without questioning? ” “ I am even pleased to be asked — and trusted. ” “ That is very nice.
osu.32435017803024	You came by motor, Alonzo? ” “ No.
osu.32435017803024	You came to see George? ” “ Yes; he telephoned me. ” “ Said he was goin’ to.
osu.32435017803024	You come across, and there wo n't be no more trouble. ” “ But suppose I do n't?
osu.32435017803024	You do n't even know that?
osu.32435017803024	You have a story to tell me — how you came to be present last night? ” I anticipated the question, but felt it impossible to explain fully.
osu.32435017803024	You have not spilled nothing? ” “ Me! ” he laughed roughly.
osu.32435017803024	You have not thought very well of me, have you? ” “ I have been mystified; you seem to be two dis- tinct personalities.
osu.32435017803024	You knew it — well, so did I. ”< “ But how could you know that?
osu.32435017803024	You know the pass- word, of course? ” “ Cervantes. ” “ That's correct, but it will be changed again to- night.
osu.32435017803024	You not suppose I know he — he die? ” “ Oh, no; I merely thought you might have some suspicion, that was all.
osu.32435017803024	You saw it, did n't you? ” “ Hell!
osu.32435017803024	You sent me a note this morning, did n't you? ” “ Sure I did. ” “ Well, then, why did n't you meet me?
osu.32435017803024	You sent me a note this morning, did n't you? ” “ Sure I did. ” “ Well, then, why did n't you meet me?
osu.32435017803024	You think I'm aiming to play fair, do n’t you? ” I looked at him doubtfully.
osu.32435017803024	You went out together, and I could not help but connect the whole affair together. ” “ So you followed us? ” “ As soon as I dare venture.
osu.32435017803024	You were delayed? ” “ A car blockade at the wharf.
osu.32435017803024	You will come? ” “ Yes, of course — ” Before I had really finished my sentence the con- nection had been severed.
osu.32435017803024	You will not tell me his name? ” “ No, Mr. Severn.
osu.32435017803024	You will settle that account before the close of bank- ing hours to- morrow? ” “ I?
osu.32435017803024	You will settle that account before the close of bank- ing hours to- morrow? ” “ I?
osu.32435017803024	You'll show up all right? ” “ You ca n’t lose me; it looks too good. ”!
osu.32435017803024	a bank job? ” “ Better than that — South American revolution fund; coin sent over here from London to pay for arms, and maybe a murder or so.
osu.32435017803024	a crook?

osu.32435017803024	in the woman? ” My handclasp tightened, and her eyes dropped be- fore the message she must have instantly read in mine.
osu.32435017803024	it is rather you I should ask why you not tell me the truth? ” “ Tell you!

osu.32435017803024	or was her suspicion aroused into a determination to verify it in some way?
osu.32435017803024	or was it extended hon- estly and with some real object in view?
osu.32435017803024	or was it, merely an acquaintance who had learned of my pres- ence in the city?
osu.32435017803024	or what he is up to? ” “ No, I do n’t, Wine, but he's sure got some game on, an he's got my goat.

osu.32435017803024	“ Business not very good, I suppose? ” “ Dead.
osu.32435017803024	“ Did he say Gans Street?
osu.32435017803024	“ Did the Russian say anything about me? ” “ Not a whisper.
osu.32435017803024	“ Do you know a Russian named Waldron? ” “ No I have heard of him; that is, if you refer to the agitator, the socialist.
osu.32435017803024	“ Engaged, my man? ” He came to life in an instant, tumbling out of his comfortable quarters to face me.
osu.32435017803024	“ Ever see that baby weapon before? ” IN THE JAWS OF A TRAP 183 “ Yes, ” and I felt a sudden relief at the discovery.
osu.32435017803024	“ I merely let it go. ” “ Sure: but what was the game?
osu.32435017803024	“ I wondered if you knew anything?
osu.32435017803024	“ If I know, you suppose I tell?
osu.32435017803024	“ Killed with that! ” “ No, not that; but one exactly like it. ” “ Who says so — the police?
osu.32435017803024	“ Like that one there? ” “ Exactly like it.
osu.32435017803024	“ Listening? ” “ No, ” I lied, seeing but one possible means of es- cape, and hoping thus to prevent her sounding an immediate alarm.
osu.32435017803024	“ No one arrived yet? ” I inquired.
osu.32435017803024	“ Say, where the hell have you been?
osu.32435017803024	“ So you actually believed me capable of that atroc- THE DAGGER HAT- PIN I41 ity?
osu.32435017803024	“ So you were the one Alva sent?
osu.32435017803024	“ The Jew still there? ” “ He remains alone eating.
osu.32435017803024	“ Then you were expecting me? ” “ I have hever felt a very serious doubt.
osu.32435017803024	“ To America? ” “ To Brazil.
osu.32435017803024	“ Was — was it one of us? ” “ It could scarcely be an outsider, for the secret was guarded well.
osu.32435017803024	“ Well, in the first place, we ’ve got you, have n’t we?
osu.32435017803024	“ Well, what did you do? ” “ Played it safe and sure.
osu.32435017803024	“ Well, what is it? ” she snapped, in no encouraging tone.
osu.32435017803024	“ Well, ” I said coldly, “ it was a stall, was it?
osu.32435017803024	“ What is it you were thinking about? ” “ Perhaps I had better not tell. ” “ Another secret?
osu.32435017803024	“ What is it you were thinking about? ” “ Perhaps I had better not tell. ” “ Another secret?
osu.32435017803024	“ What is it, George? ” “ That Gans Street party is on the wire, sir. ” “ Oh, all right.
osu.32435017803024	“ What next? ” I asked.
osu.32435017803024	“ What then? ” he echoed finally.
osu.32435017803024	“ What you mean, I keep my mouth shut?
osu.32435017803024	“ What — what are you doing here? ” she gasped in English, her voice trembling.
osu.32435017803024	“ Where else I get it, you think?
osu.32435017803024	“ Where have you been the last month — out of town? ” “ In Washington, ” I ventured, praying the swift an- swer might suffice.
osu.32435017803024	“ Who is speaking? ” “ The fellow you biffed with a bottle to- night.
osu.32435017803024	“ Who is the man you know — your particular friend? ” I hesitated an instant, the name escaping me.
osu.32435017803024	“ Who is there? ” the voice was a mere whisper, so close as to startle me.
osu.32435017803024	“ Why should you ask that? ” “ Well, I'll tell you.
osu.32435017803024	“ Why you call me that?
osu.32435017803024	“ Why, damn it, Charlett, what are you slouching here for?
osu.32435017803024	“ Why, now I think of it, Sarah Waldron has one exactly like mine; I bought it for her. ” “ The woman here?
osu.32435017803024	“ Why?
osu.32435017803024	“ You actually belong here then?
osu.32435017803024	“ You are thoroughly puzzled, are you not? ” she asked gayly.
osu.32435017803024	“ You did not sup- pose I was with Alva when he was murdered, did you?
osu.32435017803024	“ You have not been in before?
osu.32435017803024	“ You know of Alva's death, I presume? ” I asked, endeavoring to put the question carelessly.
osu.32435017803024	“ You wonder what she do in here? ” he asked.
osu.32435017803024	“ You — you are unhurt, Mr. Severn? ” “ So far as I know.
pst.000006182458	A champagne girl! ” “ Dat's what I said. ” “ You mean that she is upon the stage? ”Sure — dat's it!"
pst.000006182458	A paltry hundred thousand? pst.000006182458 A professor of what?"
pst.000006182458	Absolutely and finally?
pst.000006182458	And George Washington — maybe? ” hazarded the junior partner. pst.000006182458 And did n't you have warning that the dog was there?"
pst.000006182458	And may I ask why you should come to me?
pst.000006182458	And of course in that case you would turn over whatever collateral is on deposit to secure the note?
pst.000006182458	And so they want to prosecute the dog? pst.000006182458 And suppose I do n't choose to give it to you?"
pst.000006182458	Are you not willing to waive the formality of an oath, Mr. Tutt? ” asked the judge in slight impatience. pst.000006182458 Are you quite ready to proceed with the case?"
pst.000006182458	Are you the blackmailer who's been writing me those letters? ” he demanded, springing into Tutt's office. pst.000006182458 But after all what good would all that money have done you? ” “ I do n't want money!"
pst.000006182458	But why on earth would n't he?
pst.000006182458	Can you read it, Herman?
pst.000006182458	Convict him? ” retorted Mr. Hepplewhite. pst.000006182458 Could — could you let me have the loan of seventy- five cents? ” he asked shyly.
pst.000006182458	Did n't I show you my papers? pst.000006182458 Did n't you know it was a vicious beast? ” sharply challenged Pepperill.
pst.000006182458	Did n't you tear a hole in the hedge and stamp down the grass when by taking a few extra steps you could have reached the beach without difficulty?
pst.000006182458	Did n't your wife tell you about it?
pst.000006182458	Did you know that Andrew was a vicious dog?
pst.000006182458	Do I get the five thousand? ” He ground his teeth, not yet willing to concede defeat. pst.000006182458 Do you know those people, Samuel?"
pst.000006182458	Do you know where he got it?
pst.000006182458	Do you mean to tell this jury that you did n't 180 The Dog Andrew know that that dog was one of the worst biters in Livornia?
pst.000006182458	Goť the bird?
pst.000006182458	Have n't they now? ” remarked the elder law- yer. pst.000006182458 Have you ever been convicted before? ” asked His Honor sharply.
pst.000006182458	Have you now? ” he inquired. pst.000006182458 Have you the trousers which you wore upon that occasion?"
pst.000006182458	How about that man who stole a razor?
pst.000006182458	How are you? pst.000006182458 How do we come into it, anyhow? ” he demanded.
pst.000006182458	How do you earn your living? ” he demanded, changing his method of attack. pst.000006182458 How does it look, Mabel?"
pst.000006182458	How long do you want to sum up?
pst.000006182458	How many shares are there? ”A hundred thousand,"she answered.
pst.000006182458	How much money have you got?
pst.000006182458	How say you? pst.000006182458 I generally go down there to get my check. ”'“ Whose check is it- his or the company's?"
pst.000006182458	I mean is it legal?
pst.000006182458	I wonder if it ever does any good? pst.000006182458 I? ” ejaculated Mr. Hepplewhite.
pst.000006182458	If it's exhausted why do they want to reor- ganize it? ” he demanded, climbing to his feet. pst.000006182458 Is it a squeal or a fall? ”"Easy money,"answered Mabel with confidence.
pst.000006182458	Is there any chance of disposing of this case by a plea? ” he inquired. pst.000006182458 Of whom?"
pst.000006182458	Shall I take him to the house or do you want to examine him?
pst.000006182458	So Scherer, Hunn, Greenbaum& Beck are going to reorganize something, are they? pst.000006182458 That every Samson has his Delilah? ”"If you want to put it that way- yes.'
pst.000006182458	That's a grand name for a case, is n't it? pst.000006182458 Twice. ”"Well, why do n't you like your investment? ” inquired Mr. Tutt blandly.
pst.000006182458	Well, how long is it going to take? ”About six weeks, ” answered the old lawyer quietly.
pst.000006182458	Well, what about it?
pst.000006182458	Well, what is it this time?
pst.000006182458	Well, who cut Samson's hair?
pst.000006182458	Well, who knows?
pst.000006182458	Were n't any of the domestics about?
pst.000006182458	What did you say, Mister Foreman? ”I said that we find the defendant guilty,'replied the foreman calmly.
pst.000006182458	What do you know about Samson and Delilah, Tutt? ” he challenged. pst.000006182458 What do you mean by'exactly?
pst.000006182458	What do you want it for? ” Tutt looked over his shoulder. pst.000006182458 What five thousand dollars?"
pst.000006182458	What for? ”For crime, to be sure,"answered Mr. Doon.
pst.000006182458	What god do you believe in?
pst.000006182458	What good would a doctor do me? ”He might keep you from getting into trouble."
pst.000006182458	What had you and Miss Malone been doing that afternoon?
pst.000006182458	What happened if they were exorcised?
pst.000006182458	What have n't you told her about? ” “ My trouble. pst.000006182458 What is it?"
pst.000006182458	What kind of a case is it?
pst.000006182458	What sort of an under- shirt is that?
pst.000006182458	What was its name? ”Andrew,"she answered.
pst.000006182458	What were you going to do? ” “ I was going to retire, captain, ” said Doc 199 Tutt and Mr. Tutt faintly. pst.000006182458 What's that? ” cried Bashemath, appearing at the door.
pst.000006182458	Where on earth did you meet Badger? ” he demanded. pst.000006182458 Where was I?
pst.000006182458	Where you goin'?
pst.000006182458	Who are they? ”Oh, those over there? ” he repeated absently.
pst.000006182458	Who are they? ”Oh, those over there? ” he repeated absently.
pst.000006182458	Who controls Amphalula? ”We do,"snapped Greenbaum.
pst.000006182458	Who invited you to testify in this case?
pst.000006182458	Why not kill one rooster and swear all the witnesses at once? ” suggested Mr. Tutt in a moment of inspiration. pst.000006182458 Why should n't they be?
pst.000006182458	Why the devil should you come to me? pst.000006182458 Why was that a crime? ” asked Tutt.
pst.000006182458	Will your butler act as complain- ant, sir?
pst.000006182458	Wo n't you have a stogy? ” Mr. Barrows shook his head. pst.000006182458 You absolutely and finally decline to give up the securities? ” he asked plaintively.
pst.000006182458	You know the Hepplewhite house up on Fifth 236 The Hepplewhite Tramp Avenue — that great stone one with the driveway?
pst.000006182458	You want to make a confession? pst.000006182458 'em o???
pst.000006182458	'em o???"
pst.000006182458	'em o???"
pst.000006182458	102 Samuel and Delilah"Now who says the law is n't the perfection of common sense?"
pst.000006182458	115 Tutt and Mr. Tutt “ What's become of Sorg? ” “ Gone.
pst.000006182458	14 The Human Element “ Are you not aware that you are a party to an escape- a crime? ” hotly challenged the judge.
pst.000006182458	144 The Dog Andrew “ Huh?
pst.000006182458	163 Tutt and Mr. Tutt “ What did Chassensée get out of it?"
pst.000006182458	190 Wile Versus Guile"Something about bonds, was n't it?"
pst.000006182458	217 Tutt and Mr. Tutt all her securities and put the proceeds into your bogus oil company — whether she wishes it or not?
pst.000006182458	291 Lallapaloosa Limited 99 “ What relief does that give a man like Mr. Barrows?"
pst.000006182458	295 Lallapaloosa Limited 99"Twelve years, Your Honor. ”"Who is Wilson W. Elderberry?"
pst.000006182458	81 Tutt and Mr. Tutt 1"Ah Fong, do you think God will punish you if you tell a lie?"
pst.000006182458	85 Tutt and Mr. Tutt “ Ask the witness if the oath that he has now taken will bind his conscience?"
pst.000006182458	94 Mock Hen and Mock Turtle"How long have you known him?"
pst.000006182458	A big book for instance? ” 82 Mock Hen and Mock Turtle The interpreter put the question and then shook his head.
pst.000006182458	And you recall that accident case we had- Bump against the Railroad? ”"You ca n't tell me anything about names,"re- marked Mr. Tutt.
pst.000006182458	Appleboy, ” called out Tutt,"will you kindly take the chair?"
pst.000006182458	Are n't they all right?
pst.000006182458	As First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney- General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse or Private Secretary?"
pst.000006182458	Besides, the girl bought the gun and gave it to Angelo the same day. ”'How do you know that? ” demanded Mr. Tutt, frowning.
pst.000006182458	But how?
pst.000006182458	But if they were going to, why in hell could n't they have done it three months ago?"
pst.000006182458	But what is he presumed to be guilty of?
pst.000006182458	But, as O'Brien afterward asked Peckham,"How in thunder could you tell?"
pst.000006182458	By the way, are we retained or assigned by the court? ”"Assigned,"chirped Tutt.
pst.000006182458	Ca n't you ask him a simple question and get a simple answer?
pst.000006182458	Can the law thus indi- rectly tear the seal of confidence from the Confes- sional?
pst.000006182458	Can you imagine me going to court in a bowler hat or arguing to the jury in a cutaway coat or bobtail business suit?
pst.000006182458	Can you picture Ephraim Tutt with his hair cut short or in an Ascot tie, any more than you can envisage him in riding breeches or wearing lilacs?
pst.000006182458	Did he know anyone connected with the case?
pst.000006182458	Did the witness recog- nize the defendant's young wife?
pst.000006182458	Did you know anything about the dog before you sent for it?"
pst.000006182458	Did you pay them for their little attention?"
pst.000006182458	Do I have to go to court?"
pst.000006182458	Do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty? ” Mr. Tutt gripped the balustrade in front of him with one hand and put his other arm round Angelo.
pst.000006182458	Do you really want this book?"
pst.000006182458	Do you suppose Mr. Bad- ger would buy the stock back? ” 205 Tutt and Mr. Tutt Mr. Tutt smiled grimly.
pst.000006182458	Effingham?"
pst.000006182458	For the last time, will you take it or not?"
pst.000006182458	For what had he succeeded in adducing in his behalf?
pst.000006182458	Had a bite?"
pst.000006182458	Had he any objection to the infliction of capital punish- ment?
pst.000006182458	Have n't you any other charge on which you can try this defendant? ”'“ No, Your Honor,"answered O'Brien grimly.
pst.000006182458	Have you any more witnesses, Mister District Attorney? ”"The People rest, ” said Mr. O'Brien.
pst.000006182458	Have you got your stock with you?"
pst.000006182458	How did you happen to have the idea of getting a dog? ” Mrs. Appleboy turned the full moon of her homely countenance upon the court.
pst.000006182458	How many feet?
pst.000006182458	How many letters you've written me?
pst.000006182458	How many times you've sent me flowers?
pst.000006182458	How many times you've taken me out to lunch?
pst.000006182458	How often you've called me on the telephone?
pst.000006182458	How would you like a glass of toddy?
pst.000006182458	I ask you!-when he turns down the Fat and Skinnies? ”"Oh, yes it is, ” retorted Mr. Tutt.
pst.000006182458	I have n't seen you for- well, how long is it?"
pst.000006182458	I suppose we had better make the charge burglary, sir? ”"I suppose so,, ” replied Mr. Hepplewhite vaguely.
pst.000006182458	I tell yer I was walkin'wit'me goill ”"What is the lady's name? ”"Miss Malone."
pst.000006182458	I was making the difference — fifteen hun- dred dollars every year. ”"What has it paid?"
pst.000006182458	If I got'em cheap that was my good luck, was n't it?
pst.000006182458	If a woman like that, thought the jury, was ready to vouch for Mock's good character, why waste any more time on the case?
pst.000006182458	If animals have souls why should n't they be responsible for their acts? ” “ But they have n't any souls! ” protested Tutt.
pst.000006182458	In other words you could demur to the indictinent for insufficiency?"
pst.000006182458	In which of my capacities?
pst.000006182458	Is he pre- sumed to be innocent?
pst.000006182458	Is it equity?
pst.000006182458	Is n't that enough?"
pst.000006182458	Is that a Corot?"
pst.000006182458	Is that justice?
pst.000006182458	Is that right?
pst.000006182458	Is that right?"
pst.000006182458	Is there anything the matter with you? ” Tutt regarded him with the air of a small boy caught peeking through a knot hole.
pst.000006182458	It seems Horse's Neck is played out and they are going to reorganize it-"“ Who are?"
pst.000006182458	Letters or photographs or something?"
pst.000006182458	May I ask if it is secured?"
pst.000006182458	May sixth?
pst.000006182458	Meanwhile, was not the jury ever going to set the poor man free?
pst.000006182458	Never had done him any wrong, had he?
pst.000006182458	Not if I know it! ”"Why not?"
pst.000006182458	Now will you go upstairs first or have tea first?"
pst.000006182458	Peck 1:"Did you not knock Mrs. Appleboy's flower pots off the piazza? ” he demanded significantly.
pst.000006182458	Peck 3:"Did n't you tangle up their fish lines and take their thole- pins?"
pst.000006182458	Reorganize?
pst.000006182458	See the morning paper?"
pst.000006182458	See? ”'Mr. Tutt sighed and shook his head hopelessly.
pst.000006182458	Shall I recall the jury and reopen the case by consent?"
pst.000006182458	Suppose, then, that they should return at noon?
pst.000006182458	That is, are you on friendly terms with him?"
pst.000006182458	That's enough, is n't it?
pst.000006182458	That's the case, is n't it?"
pst.000006182458	The dog attacked and bit you?
pst.000006182458	The one you just drew to cash for five thousand dollars? ” “ Charge it to life insurance,"he said shortly.
pst.000006182458	The two muttered and chortled at each other until O'Brien, losing patience, jumped up and called out: “ What's all this?
pst.000006182458	The witness had been an old friend of Mr. Appleboy's, had he not?
pst.000006182458	Then leaning forward he asked significantly:"Did you see Crocedoro threaten the defendant with his razor? ” “ I object!"
pst.000006182458	Then like the sword of Damocles the bessemer voice of Pepperill severed the general atmosphere of amiability: “ Where did you get that dog?"
pst.000006182458	Therefore he was surprised to hear himself say in soothing, almost cooing tones:"Well, my dear, what can I do for you? ” Shades of Abigail!
pst.000006182458	They never will hold the way you want, will they?"
pst.000006182458	This is entirely improper. ” “ I am, am I? ” sputtered the fat editor angrily.
pst.000006182458	Tompkins — will you take the chair?"
pst.000006182458	Tutt?"
pst.000006182458	Tutt?"
pst.000006182458	Understand?
pst.000006182458	Was Mr. Walsh sure he had no prejudices against Italians or foreigners generally?
pst.000006182458	Well, Mr. Tutt, what do you wish to do under the circumstances?
pst.000006182458	Well, any wrong?
pst.000006182458	Well, any wrong?
pst.000006182458	Well, did that do the witness any harm?
pst.000006182458	Well, where was he sitting, then?
pst.000006182458	What a sweet room?
pst.000006182458	What advice did you give him? ” “ The law does not permit me to state that,"answered Mr. Tutt in his most dignified tones.
pst.000006182458	What am I worth in your opinion?"
pst.000006182458	What amount, he inquired through Wong Get, would satisfy the face of the Duck family?
pst.000006182458	What are you leaving all these bonds here for against that note?
pst.000006182458	What business had these condescending second- raters to presume to improve a perfectly good beach which was satisfactory to other folks?
pst.000006182458	What do you mean — for you?
pst.000006182458	What do you say?"
pst.000006182458	What do you think, Mr. Tutt?
pst.000006182458	What kind of a chicken's head?"
pst.000006182458	What man is safe?"
pst.000006182458	What shall we do? ” At that moment Mrs. Witherspoon followed.
pst.000006182458	What was it?
pst.000006182458	What was there to prevent one of them from getting right up in court and putting a bullet through you?
pst.000006182458	What will you say to Aunt Eliza? ” Mrs. Appleboy went to the dresser and took a pad and pencil from one of the shelves.
pst.000006182458	What'd yer want, anyway?"
pst.000006182458	What's bitin'yer? ” He unlocked the door and threw it open.
pst.000006182458	What's it selling for now?"
pst.000006182458	What's this one?
pst.000006182458	Where are they, anyway?"
pst.000006182458	Where was the witness standing?
pst.000006182458	Where's your check book, Sam? ” Tutt pulled out the bottom drawer of his desk and slowly removed his personal check book.
pst.000006182458	Who cares a damn?
pst.000006182458	Who drew it?"
pst.000006182458	Who is he to challenge the future?
pst.000006182458	Why do n't you write to Aunt Eliza to- night?"
pst.000006182458	Why not beg off? ”"Let me hear the story first,"answered Mr. Tutt.
pst.000006182458	Why not call yourself Mrs. Winthrop Oaklander? ”"But what good would that do?"
pst.000006182458	Why not call yourself Mrs. Winthrop Oaklander? ”"But what good would that do?"
pst.000006182458	Why should n't they reor- ganize a mine if it's exhausted?"
pst.000006182458	Why, it's marvelous — and absolutely safe?
pst.000006182458	Will not even the cross upon her breast protect her from being compelled to reveal those secrets that are sacred to wife and motherhood?
pst.000006182458	Will they be able to prove where he got the pistol? ”"He did n't get the pistol,"retorted the girl with a glint in her black eyes.
pst.000006182458	Would any member of the jury hang a dog, even a yellow one, on such testimony?
pst.000006182458	Would n't it be 194 Wile Versus Guile fine, Mr. Tutt, to be rich?
pst.000006182458	You hope for mercy, do you?
pst.000006182458	You know there is such a crime as perjury, do you not?"
pst.000006182458	You there, Emma?"
pst.000006182458	any personal inquiry as to the facts? ”"I did n't have him arrested! ” protested the witness.
pst.000006182458	continued the plain- clothes"Trouble brewin', eh?"
pst.000006182458	demanded Badger 215 Wile Versus Guile"Is this the Loan Department of the Mustard- seed National?"
pst.000006182458	hair cut?"
pst.000006182458	“ Ah Fong, do you believe in any god?"
pst.000006182458	“ Ai n't that just a sweetie?
pst.000006182458	“ Ai n't they beauties?"
pst.000006182458	“ And sting all the boobs? ” grinned Murtha not unsympathetically.
pst.000006182458	“ And that in the end he'll get his hair cut?"
pst.000006182458	“ And then you'll steal the rest?"
pst.000006182458	“ And they all know it?"
pst.000006182458	“ And wave my client into the chair?"
pst.000006182458	“ And what may that be? ” Bull Neck looked round disgustedly at the jury as if to say:"What ignorance!"
pst.000006182458	“ And you feel just at present as if life were'flat, stale and unprofitable?'
pst.000006182458	“ But I say, why should n't he have?"
pst.000006182458	“ But it is n't the highest- class practise and they ought to pay well. ” “ What do you call well?"
pst.000006182458	“ But may I ask what this is all about?"
pst.000006182458	“ But what can we do?
pst.000006182458	“ By the way, ” she remarked casually as he passed her,"what shall I charge that check to?
pst.000006182458	“ Ca n't you read? ”"But Enoch did n't do a thing!"
pst.000006182458	“ Ca n't you see'em? ” he declaimed.
pst.000006182458	“ Did n't you steal her milk bottles?"
pst.000006182458	“ Did they ever try birds?"
pst.000006182458	“ Did you sign this circular in 1914?"
pst.000006182458	“ Do n't you remember those great piles of bonds and stocks that Doctor Barrows left here with you to keep for him? ” “ Oh, those!"
pst.000006182458	“ Do sit down, Mrs. Effing- ham, wo n't you?
pst.000006182458	“ Do you know anybody who's got one?
pst.000006182458	“ Do you know his reputation for peace and quiet? ” Miss Fanny half turned to the judge and then faced the jury.
pst.000006182458	“ Do you know how many times you've had me down here in your office in the last three weeks?
pst.000006182458	“ Do you know, sir, there are fortunes lying all about us?
pst.000006182458	“ Do you mean to imply that I'm not able to take care of myself? ” demanded Tutt.
pst.000006182458	“ Do you see any reason why Mr. Tutt should n't interrogate the witness?"
pst.000006182458	“ Does Your Honor hold that an obliging ac- quiesence in local theology constitutes such a reli- gious belief as to make this man's oath sacred?"
pst.000006182458	“ Does not that satisfy you?"
pst.000006182458	“ Eh?
pst.000006182458	“ Ever been in Mr. Badger's office? ” “ Oh, yes!"
pst.000006182458	“ Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?"
pst.000006182458	“ Gentlemen of the jury,"chanted the clerk:"How say you?
pst.000006182458	“ Good looking? ” inquired Tutt roguishly.
pst.000006182458	“ Had you ever seen that dog before?''
pst.000006182458	“ Have a cigar?
pst.000006182458	“ Have a weed?"
pst.000006182458	“ He do n't appreciate the difference between doing a thing as an individual and as a group. ” “ What thing? ” “ Why, taking a name.'
pst.000006182458	“ His name?"
pst.000006182458	“ How did she come to lend it to you? ” “ Bashemath wrote and asked for it."
pst.000006182458	“ How many times have you got it?"
pst.000006182458	“ How much is the ticket?"
pst.000006182458	“ How old are you, Tutt?"
pst.000006182458	“ How on earth did old Doc manage to get hold of them? ”"It sold for only ten cents a share!"
pst.000006182458	“ I mean- is it legal? ”"Sure!"
pst.000006182458	“ I still keep the house; but do you know how old I am, Mr. Tutt?
pst.000006182458	“ I'll show you —"You want to be fair, do n't you? ” whined 179 Tutt and Mr. Tutt Pepperill.
pst.000006182458	“ I've a good mind to have you go over and tear up the whole place! ” “'N pull up the hedge? ” he concurred eagerly.
pst.000006182458	“ If we were so directed. ” “ May I ask what collateral there is? ”"I do n't know."
pst.000006182458	“ Is he in court?"
pst.000006182458	“ Is it all right for us to underwrite the stock ourselves at half price? ” inquired Mr. Beck.
pst.000006182458	“ Is that all?"
pst.000006182458	“ It will not be neces- sary for me to go to court, will it?"
pst.000006182458	“ Leggo my arm, ca n't yer?
pst.000006182458	“ Let me try him on that?"
pst.000006182458	“ Miss Duryea, will you kindly take the witness chair?"
pst.000006182458	“ Miss Duryea,"began Mr. Tutt,"do you know the defendant?"
pst.000006182458	“ Now, Miss Duryea, did you see Mock Hen at any time on May sixth? ” 95 Tutt and Mr. Tutt Instantly the jury showed renewed signs of life.
pst.000006182458	“ Of your own knowledge? ” interjected Tutt sharply.
pst.000006182458	“ Of your own knowledge?"
pst.000006182458	“ Rather nice, I think, eh?
pst.000006182458	“ Say, watcha drivin'at? ” Mr. Tutt elevated his bushy eyebrows.
pst.000006182458	“ See here, captain,"he directed sharply, “ I want you to keep all those Chinamen out in the corridor; understand?"
pst.000006182458	“ Some- body's got to underwrite it; why not us? ” “ Move we adjourn, ” said Mr. Greenbaum.
pst.000006182458	“ Suppose I appoint an official umpire to say which of the other two interpreters is correct-- and let them decide who he shall be?"
pst.000006182458	“ Suppose it is a promise to tell the truth? ” “ He says what kind of a promise? ” “ A promise on the Bible,"answered Mr. Tutt patiently.
pst.000006182458	“ Suppose it is a promise to tell the truth? ” “ He says what kind of a promise? ” “ A promise on the Bible,"answered Mr. Tutt patiently.
pst.000006182458	“ Supposing they had n't?
pst.000006182458	“ That bunch of pirates?
pst.000006182458	“ The court will, I suppose, grant me a moment or two to confer with my client?"
pst.000006182458	“ The es- sence of your testimony is that the defendant set a dog on you, is it not?
pst.000006182458	“ The police'attended to my client for you, did they?
pst.000006182458	“ Then, ” snapped Pepperill,"why did you send for him?"
pst.000006182458	“ There is some collateral, I suppose?"
pst.000006182458	“ Um- you do n't say?"
pst.000006182458	“ Waiting for me, eh?
pst.000006182458	“ Warrant for what?"
pst.000006182458	“ Warrant?"
pst.000006182458	“ Well?"
pst.000006182458	“ Were the statements contained in it true? ” Elderberry squirmed.
pst.000006182458	“ What crime?"
pst.000006182458	“ What did I tell you?
pst.000006182458	“ What do you wish to do, Mr. Barrows?"
pst.000006182458	“ What greater compliment could I receive?"
pst.000006182458	“ What has become of the prisoner? ” demanded His Honor.
pst.000006182458	“ What of it?
pst.000006182458	“ What papers? ”"The complaint and order to show cause."
pst.000006182458	“ What sort was it?"
pst.000006182458	“ What was the name of the unfortunate deceased?"
pst.000006182458	“ What's a disbursing noise? ” demanded O'Brien.
pst.000006182458	“ What's the matter, boys? ” inquired Mock.
pst.000006182458	“ What's the matter?"
pst.000006182458	“ What's the use of our both wasting a couple of weeks trying a Chinaman who is bound to be con- victed?
pst.000006182458	“ When did they give up trying animals?"
pst.000006182458	“ When you have n't anything better to do,"he said to her,"why do n't you go round and see what has become of- of- Horse's Neck Extension?"
pst.000006182458	“ Where am I?"
pst.000006182458	“ Who is this?"
pst.000006182458	“ Who's Andrew? ” inquired the officer of the law mistrustfully.
pst.000006182458	“ Why?"
pst.000006182458	“ Wo n't you stay a little while? ” “ I go now,"he repeated with resolution.
pst.000006182458	“ Would you mind going there again?
pst.000006182458	“ You deny that you ordered Bibby to charge the defendant with burglary? ” roared Mr. Tutt.
pst.000006182458	“ You do n't take cream, do you?"
pst.000006182458	“ You practised up state, did n't you?"
pst.000006182458	“ You remember my husband — Jim?
pst.000006182458	“ You said one of them had been dealt in on the curb?
uc1.b4091396	Am I? ” he said. uc1.b4091396 And since when, by the way, have you been his stand- ard- bearer?"
uc1.b4091396	By the way, ” he said, “ what are you doing this eve- ning? uc1.b4091396 By the way,"he said,"do you still want me to find a backer for that play?"
uc1.b4091396	Caroline came here! ” he said — and then, controlling his voice, “ Whatever for? ” She said, “ I – I do n't quite know. uc1.b4091396 In a purely business sense, of course... What about Alec's?
uc1.b4091396	Is it- is it really a possibility, Denis? ” she said. uc1.b4091396 Or got you a better one? ” Mr. Grant surveyed his host in meditative silence.
uc1.b4091396	Really? ” Denis'voice was even more casual than hers had been. uc1.b4091396 Walter, ” he said, “ did you ever notice that heroes are abysmally dumb?"
uc1.b4091396	Way the world's run, is n't it?
uc1.b4091396	Well —?
uc1.b4091396	Well —?
uc1.b4091396	What are they?
uc1.b4091396	What's the trouble, Kay? ” he asked instead, stopping by the door of his dressing room. uc1.b4091396 When you're through, ” he said, “ how about a bite of dinner somewhere?
uc1.b4091396	Yes? ” he said, and smothered a yawn. uc1.b4091396 You mentioned the name Van Toller? ” Armbruster said.
uc1.b4091396	You're not going to say they want us at the theater? ” “ No, no. ” She shook her head with an impatient little movement. uc1.b4091396 ... Do n't you realize you're making everything worse for yourself? uc1.b4091396 ... Do n't you see how much healthier it would be if you- if you changed this illusion- for a reality? ” Now both her hands were clutching at him. uc1.b4091396 ... Have you forgotten it is only a few short months since Margaret died? ” He fought with himself. uc1.b4091396 ... We must n't go upsetting Miss Caroline, must we? uc1.b4091396 ... We would n't want to bring on one of her heart- attacks, now would we?
uc1.b4091396	... Well, why do n't you come and do it? ”.
uc1.b4091396	29 was he like really?
uc1.b4091396	7 2 SO “ Coming through, huh? ” he said.
uc1.b4091396	A male voice demanded, “ What is all this?
uc1.b4091396	After all, how could Denis know the tremendous importance of all this?
uc1.b4091396	Although, speaking for myself, I've only just begun to. ” “ Sir? ” said Larsen again.
uc1.b4091396	And Lawrence Bradford grinning then and saying,"Neat, huh? ” Lawrence Bradford, who would follow this route only once again.
uc1.b4091396	And in any event my life is surely my own affair? ” He took a long time lighting the cigarette, and her voice came quavering from behind him.
uc1.b4091396	And she said:"You'd like to hit me, would n't you?
uc1.b4091396	And then she said, almost viciously, “ And wo n't it ever dawn on you that you're wasting your time? ”.
uc1.b4091396	And what happens?
uc1.b4091396	And what was his own opinion on this interesting ques- tion?
uc1.b4091396	And when?"
uc1.b4091396	And where?
uc1.b4091396	And why does n't he arrive until Judy's first entrance? ” 7 8 see Sar.
uc1.b4091396	Armbruster at home?
uc1.b4091396	As he lit hers, Kay said, “ How much longer's Claude going to keep us here?
uc1.b4091396	Brandy?
uc1.b4091396	But are you sure? ” “ Miss Caroline, I saw his face!
uc1.b4091396	But what difference does it make who he is?
uc1.b4091396	Did you ever find out why the violence?
uc1.b4091396	Did you find out? ” Denis shrugged, and de Voutray's voice came out of his mouth.
uc1.b4091396	Do n't you see you might be able to turn this misery into happiness?
uc1.b4091396	Do n't you under- stand, ma'am?"
uc1.b4091396	Do you really know someone who might put it on?
uc1.b4091396	Do you suppose, Mr. LeMay, that his disordered mind had gone back to the incident on the yacht?
uc1.b4091396	D’you want to hear it where you are?"
uc1.b4091396	He looked at the man and said, “ Do you handle the Van Toller affairs?
uc1.b4091396	He looked at the wheel chair and said, “ How about you, Law- rence?
uc1.b4091396	He said over his shoulder:"Too bad... How's he making out? ” “ Very well. ” The words came out too hard.
uc1.b4091396	He said suddenly:"You did n't write it, Kay, did you? ” She stared at him, not seeing him.
uc1.b4091396	He said, keep- ing his voice very low,"What is the matter, Kay?
uc1.b4091396	He said, very slowly: “ Are you suggesting that there is anything wrong with my mind? ” Her lips were trembling now.
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ Anyone'd think our entire future was governed by that misbegotten play of mine. ” you know it. ”"What ’s all this?"
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ Did he do anything to upset you this afternoon?
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ How are you getting home?
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ Is this your hus- band, my dear? ” He heard her draw in her breath.
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ May 1...?"
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ Or maybe Meinheer's taking you, in that battlewagon of his?"
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ What makes you think you'll even get inside? ” “ Of course I will!
uc1.b4091396	He said, “ You know what's the matter?
uc1.b4091396	He said,"What is the matter, my dear?
uc1.b4091396	He said,"You've got the script in there, have n't you? ” and she nodded.
uc1.b4091396	He said:"Anything else you'd like to know?"
uc1.b4091396	He was silent a moment, and then he said, “ And talking of Mr. Bradford, what does he think of the situation? ” She winced.
uc1.b4091396	How about a bite of dinner?"
uc1.b4091396	How would you like to order me a taxi? ” “ What?"
uc1.b4091396	How would you like to order me a taxi? ” “ What?"
uc1.b4091396	I can not re- member the word — but it meant'make- believe'..."119"Would it be'fantasy,'ma'am?"
uc1.b4091396	I chanced to be in the salle aux petits garçons... May I escort you to our seats?"
uc1.b4091396	I did n't even speak to you at the time, let alone thank you. ” Denis said to Larry, “ Why should you?
uc1.b4091396	I do n't care if we do n't. ” “ How d'you do it?"
uc1.b4091396	I'd give my left- I'd give anything to play it! ” He said, “ We must have a drink on this, ” and began Scotch?
uc1.b4091396	I- I suppose I was mad at myself because I'd gotten you all excited thinking Denis might help, ”"And he ca n't?
uc1.b4091396	If you are n't careful, it might go off in your face. ”"What're you trying to do?"
uc1.b4091396	If you do tell Meinheer, ” he shrugged—“what happens to Mr. Brad- ford's play?"
uc1.b4091396	In view of your- of your revelations- suspicions, I should say — it is abund- antly clear that steps must be taken-""What steps?
uc1.b4091396	Is it, Larry? ” “ No, it is n't.
uc1.b4091396	Is that it?"
uc1.b4091396	It does n't alter-""Great God, woman- don't you get the set- up at all?
uc1.b4091396	It's the old'out- side factor,'is n't it?
uc1.b4091396	Kay looked down at her hus- band's upturned face, and said, in a desperate little voice: “ You do n't mind if I go, do you, Larry?
uc1.b4091396	L'ding w'man married author?
uc1.b4091396	Larry said,"Has n't this gone far enough?
uc1.b4091396	LeMay?
uc1.b4091396	LeMay?"
uc1.b4091396	Liqueur of any sort?
uc1.b4091396	My good girl, do n't you want to know who Jack is when he's out of the box? ”"Well, who is he?"
uc1.b4091396	My good girl, do n't you want to know who Jack is when he's out of the box? ”"Well, who is he?"
uc1.b4091396	My wife keeps on breeding, whatever I do..."“ Suppose I guaranteed you would n't lose it?"
uc1.b4091396	Of what? ” “ Of why you want to go banging your head against stone walls instead of waiting until we've found where the gate is.
uc1.b4091396	Or do you?"
uc1.b4091396	Or ought he?
uc1.b4091396	Or too far, maybe? ” She thought: if he uses that voice again, I ca n't go on!
uc1.b4091396	Really, I mean? ” His face was lined and his eyes were troubled.
uc1.b4091396	Said Mr. LeMay: 61 “ Oh, by the way, Norman, do you happen to know the character in the first mezzanine box- stage left?"
uc1.b4091396	She could hear her number ringing, and after a mo- ment the ringing stopped and Larry's voice said, “ Hello..."She said, “ Larry?
uc1.b4091396	She heard de Voutray come onto the stage; heard him say to Denis, “ What iss the matter with her? ” on a high and yet rising note.
uc1.b4091396	She heard him say something which seemed to be,"How d’you like the armor? ” and she decided not to ask what he meant.
uc1.b4091396	She rushed to him and eased him back into the chair and said, breathlessly, “ What is it, darling?
uc1.b4091396	She said, auto- matically, “ Relaxation?
uc1.b4091396	She said, furiously: “ And what the hell do you know about it?"
uc1.b4091396	She said, slowly: “ Let's drop the fairy- tale formula, shall we?
uc1.b4091396	She said, with a sort of sharp breathlessness, “ What is it?
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Is that clock right, Denis?
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Is that what you came in to say?"
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Is- is there anyone here? ” in a small voice which cracked on the ugly note of genuine fear.
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ It's sort of- frightening, is n't it?"
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Oh, Denis, why do n't you ever know when to stop?"
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Oh, hello, so you did make it? ” That sounded all right, she thought.
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Well? ” in a voice meant to be casual.
uc1.b4091396	She said, “ Which is —? ” very coldly.
uc1.b4091396	She said,"Denis- what'll I do?"
uc1.b4091396	She said: “ Denis, what are we going to do?
uc1.b4091396	She said: “ Do you see any way, Larsen, do you?
uc1.b4091396	She said:"You think the whole thing was a plant, do n't you? ” “ Well ” Denis regarded the end of his cigarette.
uc1.b4091396	She went out into the bedroom, and as soon as she 6 2 ent voice:"What's the matter, Toots?
uc1.b4091396	So if you still want your chair, why do n't you come and get it? ” And then she was saying, “ Without those damn crutches!"
uc1.b4091396	So let's wait until he arrives, shall we? ” She had expected a result from this- but by no means the one which actually came.
uc1.b4091396	So what?
uc1.b4091396	So why be mean about him?"
uc1.b4091396	Suppose you and I go up on deck for a while? ” down at his wheel chair with a rueful twist of his mouth.
uc1.b4091396	That what you mean? ”.
uc1.b4091396	That's about it, is n't it, Denis?
uc1.b4091396	The actress?
uc1.b4091396	The next step?
uc1.b4091396	There was a pause, and then she said,"Well, what about business?"
uc1.b4091396	They kept on smiling at each other and Larry said suddenly: “ So Guthrie would n't touch it either?"
uc1.b4091396	They were at the foot of the stairs when he said, “ How about a bite of supper?"
uc1.b4091396	Tom Collins?"
uc1.b4091396	Was he basically the so- and- so some the small fry in the theater obviously like him so much?
uc1.b4091396	Was it anything to do with Maggie Alden? ” She shrugged, hoping she looked as if what he had once called “ cataclysms ” were unknown to her.
uc1.b4091396	What do you want?"
uc1.b4091396	What d’you mean – ex- actly?"
uc1.b4091396	What happens? ” Mr. LeMay arrived on the last despairing note of the final “ happens. ” He said: “ Somebody smokes.
uc1.b4091396	What in the world's the matter, Miss Van Toller?
uc1.b4091396	What is it you want to see me about? ” 1 2 0 Her voice was uncertain.
uc1.b4091396	What time?"
uc1.b4091396	What was it?
uc1.b4091396	What would it be?.
uc1.b4091396	What're we going to do? ”"What you're going to do, my child, if you have any sense at all, is leave it to Uncle Denis. ” He smiled at her.
uc1.b4091396	What's going on? ” and a fussy, pompous, gray- haired man came bustling out of an inner door into the furniture- crowded hall.
uc1.b4091396	When would it come to him?
uc1.b4091396	Where would you find it- working with Claude? ”"At my place, of course! ” He seemed filled with sur- prise at her denseness.
uc1.b4091396	Where's Larry? ” Guthrie looked at her vacantly, more like a frog than ever, and she plunged away from him.
uc1.b4091396	Which is what do I do about everything?"
uc1.b4091396	Who was it, by the way? ”.
uc1.b4091396	Why did he order Guthrie to keep on papering the theater?
uc1.b4091396	Why did n't you throw me out ten minutes ago?"
uc1.b4091396	Why do n't you just forget about it? ”"Oh, you do n't understand! ” Now Caroline's face was working strangely.
uc1.b4091396	Why does he come, not ‘ sometimes'as you said, but every night, to see the sludge?
uc1.b4091396	Why, after Maggie Alden's death, did n't Van Toller take off the misbegotten Brother O'Mine?
uc1.b4091396	Would you like Larsen to get you a coat?"
uc1.b4091396	You are such a tower of strength- cannot you think of something?"
uc1.b4091396	You hear me?
uc1.b4091396	You know why I tracked you down here, do n't you?"
uc1.b4091396	You're overwrought, as they say — so what do you do?
uc1.b4091396	“ A few minutes early tonight, are we not?"
uc1.b4091396	“ And are you still going to help find a backer? ” “ Of course I am. ” He put the glass to his lips and drank.
uc1.b4091396	“ And even if it was, ” said Lawrence Bradford, laugh- ing, “ there's no harm done, is there?
uc1.b4091396	“ And if it is, what d'you want me to do? ”"Get together with Uncle Denis,"said the telephone.
uc1.b4091396	“ And just what are you suggesting, Mr.-LeMay?"
uc1.b4091396	“ And when are you going to start?
uc1.b4091396	“ And will we be graciously allowed to go home for breakfast?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Are you still sure you're going to play Noel? ” He looked up from the glass he was filling.
uc1.b4091396	“ Book?"
uc1.b4091396	“ But how? ” she said, violently.
uc1.b4091396	“ But now you have read it, do you still want to do something about it? ” She had to get the answer to this.
uc1.b4091396	“ But of course, you have n't had much time lately, have you?
uc1.b4091396	“ But ought n't you to be getting over to the theater? ” Denis looked at him.
uc1.b4091396	“ But why, Larsen? ” she said.
uc1.b4091396	“ Change your mind and have a drink?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Denis, what am I going to do?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Did you think I was — surrendering?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Do sit down, wo n't you?
uc1.b4091396	“ Do you realize, my dear sister, that it has been- let me see, now- nearly a year since you honored this room with your presence?"
uc1.b4091396	“ D’you mean he thinks I might-'take Margaret Al- den's place in more ways than one?'
uc1.b4091396	“ D’you want a blueprint of my mental processes?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Explanation?
uc1.b4091396	“ He interested in the play too?"
uc1.b4091396	“ He wrote it. ” “ He did?
uc1.b4091396	“ Huh?"
uc1.b4091396	“ I thought, since you insist, that you probably wanted to see me for some reason. ” “ But what reason, Denis? ” She smiled determinedly.
uc1.b4091396	“ Is Cornelius expecting you, Miss Foster? ” she said.
uc1.b4091396	“ Is he in love with you?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Is it? ” He went on as if she had n't spoken.
uc1.b4091396	“ Is that what you're trying to say?
uc1.b4091396	“ It's good, is n't it?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Know what I'm going to do? ” she said.
uc1.b4091396	“ Maybe I should get you another drink, sir, and the evening paper?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Meinheer Van Toller? ” Denis said, and then, “ No need to feel shy with Uncle Denis. ” Kay felt color rising to her face.
uc1.b4091396	“ Miss Foster?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Need I say more? ” said Denis, raising his voice a trifle.
uc1.b4091396	“ Now, now, sir, this will never do, will it?
uc1.b4091396	“ Ready?
uc1.b4091396	“ Right now, I merely wanted to find out what you and your husband were doing after the performance tonight?
uc1.b4091396	“ So I should be entitled to an explanation, do n't you think?
uc1.b4091396	“ So may we pass from incident, ” he said, “ to what you, Mr. LeMay, appear to consider as motivation?
uc1.b4091396	“ Tell me the same story as Guthrie and the others? ” “ Good God, no! ” He stared down at her.
uc1.b4091396	“ This female Van Toller, ” he said, “ did it ever apolo gize?
uc1.b4091396	“ Well, how about my place?"
uc1.b4091396	“ What am I going to do? ” she said.
uc1.b4091396	“ What are you talking about? ” she said, “ I never seem to look at the audience, anyway..."Denis moved his glass.
uc1.b4091396	“ What'll we drink?"
uc1.b4091396	“ What're you doing here? ” She slid into the opposite seat and he sat down again.
uc1.b4091396	“ What's the matter with this spouse of yours that nobody's aware of his existence? ” He said it without any particular emphasis, idly almost.
uc1.b4091396	“ Who the hell are you to tell me what the author meant? ” she said fiercely- and in the middle of saying it realized he was absolutely right.
uc1.b4091396	“ Who was the old buzzard? ” he asked- and then saw her face and added quickly, “ And what the hell was she worrying you about? ”.
uc1.b4091396	“ Who was the old buzzard? ” he asked- and then saw her face and added quickly, “ And what the hell was she worrying you about? ”.
uc1.b4091396	“ Who's that?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Why are n't you throwing me out, then?
uc1.b4091396	“ Why not tell me all about it, over a bite of supper? ” Violently, she jerked her arm free.
uc1.b4091396	“ Why would he do it?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Why? ” “ Miss Caroline,"the man said heavily, “ suppose we've been wrong!
uc1.b4091396	“ Wo n't it wait till tomorrow?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Would you very much mind shaking hands with an old lady?"
uc1.b4091396	“ Yes, darling, what is it?"
uc1.b4091396	“ You know something?"
uc1.b4091396	“ You know what we ought to do? ” he said.
uc1.b4091396	“ You know what your trouble is? ” Denis said, exactly as if there had been no break in their talk.
uc1.b4091396	“ You know what?"

osu.32435054000708	However came you to be so clumsy? osu.32435054000708 I understand that you consider your sister to have serious grounds for dissatisfaction against her husband? ” he asked.
osu.32435054000708	I wonder, ” said she aloud,if we could get the big gates to open?
osu.32435054000708	I? osu.32435054000708 If anything could- suppose, I mean, that anything did — come in now, what would you do? ” she whispered.
osu.32435054000708	If we do not say too much, if we are quiet and let things take their course, who shall say what may happen?
osu.32435054000708	If you tell Miss Marston that you are to be left quiet until you ring, she would not disturb you, would she?

osu.32435054000708	No,he replied with a flash of resentment, much as though she had asked him, “ Do you steal or tell lies?
osu.32435054000708	Nobody was there?
osu.32435054000708	Pardon, Fräulein? ” he asked, in a puzzled voice. osu.32435054000708 Please God, better times are coming. ” “ It is really true? ” inquired Bagsett briefly.

osu.32435054000708	Where?
osu.32435054000708	Why could n't you come before when I called you? ” asked Camiola, quite pettishly. osu.32435054000708 Why did you bring all that rope?"

osu.32435054000708	He was going before in order to be ready to help her in steep bits of the descent, and he looked back quickly, “ What is it?"
osu.32435054000708	He will be worked off his feet during the next month or two, will be not, poor soul? ” She opened the door and left the room, singing to her- self.
osu.32435054000708	Her eyes were full of wonder, but she answered lightly: “ That was not very alarming, was it?"
osu.32435054000708	How came an animal, with eyes that gleamed in the dark, in her own bedroom?
osu.32435054000708	How could you get me up this place? ”"I do n't know.
osu.32435054000708	How if Mr. Neville came too?"
osu.32435054000708	How long ought she to wait here alone?
osu.32435054000708	How much longer could she bear this strain?
osu.32435054000708	How often have you been yourself to the Gaura Draculuj?"
osu.32435054000708	How would it be if we rode up there quite early to- morrow morning?
osu.32435054000708	I am going to send it down from the place where the water comes out, to the place where it goes in! ”"Is it going to be fine to- morrow, Esler?"
osu.32435054000708	I gather that it would be better for her not to know, if we can keep it from her?
osu.32435054000708	I have not flirted, have I? ”"Oh, no, no!
osu.32435054000708	I hope you have made a pleasant journey?"
osu.32435054000708	I mean, somehow, unlike her- self?
osu.32435054000708	I mean, somehow, unlike her- self?
osu.32435054000708	I promise you I will not say a word, but you will tell me if you want anything, wo n't you?
osu.32435054000708	I promise you I will not say a word, but you will tell me if you want anything, wo n't you?
osu.32435054000708	I suppose it is a ruin?
osu.32435054000708	I suppose it would not be before September?"
osu.32435054000708	I suppose she did not run alone?"
osu.32435054000708	I suppose we must start to- morrow?
osu.32435054000708	I wonder if they would let it for a short term, or if you think me stark mad to wish to have it?"
osu.32435054000708	I- wo n't you let me tell you- ask you? ” He was on his feet and approaching.
osu.32435054000708	If I remonstrate with her, what is there to prevent her from dismissing me, and hiring a companion who will be more complaisant?"
osu.32435054000708	If you will not take me, I shall have to find another guide. ”"Is it fair, ” he asked hesitatingly, “ to put pressure on me like that?"
osu.32435054000708	In broad daylight, at breakfast time, how could she possibly have imagined two women and a baby?
osu.32435054000708	Irmgard remarked to Miss Purdon that afternoon: “ Is n't'Miola queer?
osu.32435054000708	Irmgard remarked to Miss Purdon that afternoon: “ Is n't'Miola queer?
osu.32435054000708	Is n't it awful? ” “ Gaura Draculuj means either the Devil's Hole or the Dragon's Hole, ” replied Irmgard.
osu.32435054000708	Is n't there something I could do to help?
osu.32435054000708	Is not that a good idea? ” “ Oh, but I do n't think we can do without Esler all day,"swiftly said Camiola.
osu.32435054000708	Is that Bertha's nephew? ” asked von Courland.
osu.32435054000708	Is there a cave? ” she asked.
osu.32435054000708	Is there any reason why he should not openly be married?
osu.32435054000708	Is there any reason why you do not want me to find out about it?"
osu.32435054000708	It is in the United States, is it not?"
osu.32435054000708	It is very hot weather, is it not?"
osu.32435054000708	Leaping lightly to her feet, she asked,"Is it tin return?"
osu.32435054000708	Leaving England?
osu.32435054000708	Let us forget it, shall we?
osu.32435054000708	Merely as far as Orenfels?
osu.32435054000708	Mostly downhill. ” “ Could we go there to- day? ” “ Yes, you could go there, but not if you want to meet the Fräulein Purdon at Mezo Bolo.
osu.32435054000708	My father thought it would be all right. ”"Do you mean Eric Esler? ” asked Camiola in astonish- ment.
osu.32435054000708	No?
osu.32435054000708	Nothing at all was found. ”"No signs of a landslip or avalanche? ”"None at all.
osu.32435054000708	Of course, thinks I, they have gone through into Miss Purdon's room; and then, all of a sudden, I remembered. ”"You remembered what?"
osu.32435054000708	Oh, Camiola, do you know that every- body speaks so well of him?
osu.32435054000708	On my face???
osu.32435054000708	On my face???
osu.32435054000708	On my face???
osu.32435054000708	On what day?"
osu.32435054000708	On what day?"
osu.32435054000708	One can not approach a young lady direct on so delicate a subject as her own marriage?"
osu.32435054000708	One can not approach a young lady direct on so delicate a subject as her own marriage?"
osu.32435054000708	Or Esler- what was Esler for, if not to see that the tiresome child did not stray?
osu.32435054000708	Ought she to go and awaken Uncle Arnold and tell him that she had seen a strange man brought into the house?
osu.32435054000708	Saxons in Transylvania? ” Irmgard laughed.
osu.32435054000708	Shall that be our next excur- sion? ” asked Bassett of the others.'
osu.32435054000708	Shall we be off?"
osu.32435054000708	Shall we go to- morrow night? ” He hesitated.
osu.32435054000708	She added abruptly, “ Had you ever any witch- burnings in this city, I wonder? ”.
osu.32435054000708	Should she or should she not take the Cap tain into her confidence?
osu.32435054000708	Slowly she turned to the vicar, who was her neighbour, and asked,"What is a Vanderyar?
osu.32435054000708	So he never came out any more. ”"He was dead, I suppose? ” said Conrad.
osu.32435054000708	Suppose she were to make a secret appointment with him to visit the cave, and see whether they could stir up the monster?
osu.32435054000708	Suppose that she confided all to von Courland?
osu.32435054000708	Surely it could not be true that she was actually pining for the society of young von Courland?
osu.32435054000708	Surely you did not think I would betray you when I had promised? ” “ Most certainly not, ” he replied warmly.
osu.32435054000708	That does n't account for the tourists, does it? ” “ Ah, well, it was n't hungry at the time, you see, ” he remarked, with much meaning.
osu.32435054000708	That is different. ”"Have you ever seen anything unusual there? ” He replied unwillingly: “ No- o."
osu.32435054000708	The Fräulein is a friend of the Herr Gen- thl's family? ” w"Yes.
osu.32435054000708	The Fräulein will perhaps be graciously pleased to allow the old family to reserve just one garret for their private use?"
osu.32435054000708	The dark one, or the little love in pale blue?"
osu.32435054000708	The hochwohlgeborene thinks of becoming his tenant?
osu.32435054000708	The rock underfoot is covered with soft, fine, grey sand, and this was absolutely undisturbed. ” “ That is proof, is it not?"
osu.32435054000708	The the awful thing ca n't get us here, can it? ” “ No, no,"he answered,"we are safe enough here, I am sure.
osu.32435054000708	Then, after some hesitation, he went on: “ I pose you have realised that there are not many modern conveniences at Orenfels?
osu.32435054000708	Then, as he turned back, “ What were you doing there?
osu.32435054000708	Then, in German, to Esler: “ What are these funny little low gates for at the foot of the stairs?"
osu.32435054000708	Then, without looking up:"Will you take me home, Esler? ” “ Assuredly, gnädigste. ” She gave a long sigh, and stole a look at him.
osu.32435054000708	There is nothing to hurt him, is there?
osu.32435054000708	Thinks he can go about with his mouth shut, and that nobody can find out any- thing about the things he wants to keep dark?
osu.32435054000708	Thinks he can go about with his mouth shut, and that nobody can find out any- thing about the things he wants to keep dark?
osu.32435054000708	Thinks himself too good for my Lise, does he?
osu.32435054000708	Thinks himself too good for my Lise, does he?
osu.32435054000708	This is the last time that I shall see you?
osu.32435054000708	To change the luck of the Vajda- Maros? ” he asked softly.
osu.32435054000708	Was it likely that she, Irmgard Mal-$ 26 A CASTLE TO LET dovan, would ever go round the world?
osu.32435054000708	Was she still asleep?
osu.32435054000708	Was that what happened to them to those poor souls who were lost? ” He knelt down and spoke soothingly.
osu.32435054000708	Was this the second man who might have had her and who said,"No, thank you ”?
osu.32435054000708	Was this to be a second disappearance?
osu.32435054000708	What can you want with a larger retinue?"
osu.32435054000708	What could 142 A CASTLE TO LET be done in the way of rescue should the two not presently emerge?
osu.32435054000708	What could it mean?
osu.32435054000708	What did he mean?
osu.32435054000708	What did you find? ”"It was about three months ago,"he said reluctantly.
osu.32435054000708	What do you mean? ” he asked hurriedly.
osu.32435054000708	What does a foreigner want with Oxford?
osu.32435054000708	What has he in his hand? ” “ A thing that looks like an anchor,"replied Hilda, who was a very observant child.
osu.32435054000708	What if the concealed lady should be that identical Mrs. Cooper for whom he was searching?
osu.32435054000708	What in the midst lay but the Tower itself?
osu.32435054000708	What is it?"
osu.32435054000708	What made her do it?'
osu.32435054000708	What ought she to do?
osu.32435054000708	What were the Eslers about?
osu.32435054000708	What were the Eslers about?
osu.32435054000708	What, by the wicked young man who drank?"
osu.32435054000708	When she began to attend, Neville was saying:"By the way, Ι suppose there is a solicitor of sorts in Ildestadt??
osu.32435054000708	When she began to attend, Neville was saying:"By the way, Ι suppose there is a solicitor of sorts in Ildestadt??
osu.32435054000708	Where did you come from?"
osu.32435054000708	Where did you live before that?"
osu.32435054000708	Where does he live? ” asked Camiola eagerly, The man made a gesture with his hand.
osu.32435054000708	Where was he going and what was be about?
osu.32435054000708	Where was he going and what was he about?
osu.32435054000708	Who could it be?
osu.32435054000708	Who could the mysterious stranger be?
osu.32435054000708	Who told you about the dragon and all?"
osu.32435054000708	Why could he not simply and gratefully accept the kindness she showed him?
osu.32435054000708	Why do people with string- coloured hair and complexion invariably desire to wear pale mauve?
osu.32435054000708	Why do you keep it locked?"
osu.32435054000708	Why follow the beaten track when there is such a place to be seen by the enter- prising?
osu.32435054000708	Why had she not insisted upon an explanation from him?
osu.32435054000708	Why have you never told me anything of all these thrilling stories? ” Irmgard laughed scornfully.
osu.32435054000708	Why must he always be stiffening his back, just when you least expected it?
osu.32435054000708	Why should not Frau Esler's niece go out by the ordinary methods of exit?
osu.32435054000708	Why should she go to such a place-- where strangers are so scarce that she could be easily traced?"
osu.32435054000708	Why should she not walk in her own garden?
osu.32435054000708	Why was Frau Esler so annoyed?
osu.32435054000708	Why was Frau Esler so annoyed?
osu.32435054000708	Why, she asked herself, had she been so weak, so in- effectual?
osu.32435054000708	Why? ”"Do you remember the princess who could not deliver her brothers unless she kept a complete silence?"
osu.32435054000708	Why? ”"Do you remember the princess who could not deliver her brothers unless she kept a complete silence?"
osu.32435054000708	Will you give the necessary order for me?"
osu.32435054000708	Will you let me try if I could get you up?"
osu.32435054000708	With whom must I dance next? ”'He spoke German, of course, and Esler, with a bow to his late partner, went off with him at once.
osu.32435054000708	Would Bertha undertake the duties of cook and housekeeper?
osu.32435054000708	Would it be indiscreet to ask if you have any theory about it?"
osu.32435054000708	Would it be possible to ascend, from the cave where the bones were found to the spot whence they had fallen?
osu.32435054000708	Would they let for a short period?
osu.32435054000708	Would time and strength suffice for the wild venture?
osu.32435054000708	Would you promise, if I said"Run! ” “ Stand still! ” rudely, as if I were your master instead of your servant, to obey on the instant?"
osu.32435054000708	Yet if it were not that, what could it be which pos- sessed her with so strange a restlessness?
osu.32435054000708	Yet, after all, what could they do?
osu.32435054000708	Yet, after all, what could they do?
osu.32435054000708	You do n't bear malice, do you?"
osu.32435054000708	You do n't think she cares for Neville?"
osu.32435054000708	You do n't think that some- body here in the village, or down in Ildestadt, does it on purpose?
osu.32435054000708	You were very well last night?"
osu.32435054000708	a you not feel how unwilling she must be to make such complete change in her habit of life?
osu.32435054000708	said she,"but why could not your aunt tell me that?
osu.32435054000708	she asked tremulonsly,"that the ex- ploring party was lost?"
osu.32435054000708	the old wom coming"“ It JJ? ” inquired Bassett briefly.
osu.32435054000708	“ A second what?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Again? ” he asked, as if much surprised.
osu.32435054000708	“ Ah, but once, before I had any right to! ” “ When was that? ” “ It was here. ” “ Here! ” “ The first day.
osu.32435054000708	“ And that is the death we only just escaped last night?"
osu.32435054000708	“ And what were you doing? ” asked Camiola, as they they began to descend the path.
osu.32435054000708	“ And you have never seen him? ”"I have only lived up here for about seven months, lit- tle Herr."
osu.32435054000708	“ Are you all hungry?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Are you the only representative of your name?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Bertha told you that? ” cried the man sharply.
osu.32435054000708	“ But I should n't think Camiola means anything serious, does she?"
osu.32435054000708	“ But how is it to be done?"
osu.32435054000708	“ But surely some trace of such a thing would be visible?"
osu.32435054000708	“ But what rooms, Fräulein?
osu.32435054000708	“ But you say it was shown conclusively that the accident could not have happened in the Gaura Draculuj? ”"That matters nothing to our peasantry.
osu.32435054000708	“ By the way, I hope your invalid is going on well?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Can one go up it?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Creepy?
osu.32435054000708	“ Did I hear that the old Baron von Orenfels had invited the whole party to lunch at the Round Tower next week?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Did they? ” cried the old woman, quivering with eager- ness.
osu.32435054000708	“ Did you go in, ” she asked,"and make sure that no candles had been put there? ” “ Certainly we did.
osu.32435054000708	“ Do they want to let the castle?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Do you know whether it was his intention to take the party to the Gaura Draculuj or not? ” “ I know that it was not, gnädigste.
osu.32435054000708	“ Do you mean that I could address the young Meess France, and say: I wish to con- fer with you on the subject of your marriage with my nephew?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Do you say he is not steady?
osu.32435054000708	“ Do you think lights would make it angry?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Does it make you dizzy?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Esler, you do n't yourself believe it?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Esler,"said she, a little breathlessly,"did I do right?
osu.32435054000708	“ Esler,"she cried impul- sively, “ do you really think you could make such a re quest to me in vain?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Going away in a week???
osu.32435054000708	“ Going away in a week???
osu.32435054000708	“ Going away in a week???
osu.32435054000708	“ How do you mean?"
osu.32435054000708	“ How is your nephew, Frau Esler? ” she asked.
osu.32435054000708	“ I beg your pardon, Fräu- lein?"
osu.32435054000708	“ I could not very well say I was ill and then go out, could I? ” she objected.
osu.32435054000708	“ I suppose”—with carefully lowered voice"you have no knowledge of the state of Camiola's affections?
osu.32435054000708	“ I thought all the Saxons in Transylvania were Protestants? ” The landlord looked embarrassed.
osu.32435054000708	“ In those clothes? ” he asked doubtfully.
osu.32435054000708	“ Is n't it like champagne?
osu.32435054000708	“ Is n't it?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Is that final? ” he asked.
osu.32435054000708	“ It is queer, is n't it? ” said she.
osu.32435054000708	“ May I ask if you, sir, are the guardian of the so amiable Fräulein France? ” asked the old gentleman.
osu.32435054000708	“ May I ask if you, sir; are the guardian of the so amiable Fräulein France? ” asked the old gentleman.
osu.32435054000708	“ May I be permitted to present my nephew, the Herr Captain von Courland? ” quavered the old Graf.
osu.32435054000708	“ Might it be a little later?
osu.32435054000708	“ Mizpah,"said she,"would you like to sleep in my room to- night or in Marston's?
osu.32435054000708	“ Oh! ” cried Camiola, as von Courland entered, “ is not this fascinating?
osu.32435054000708	“ Oh, many times. ” “ And have you ever seen, on any occasion, any sign that anybody else had been there since your last visit?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Oh, what's that?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Oh, why did you take the trouble?
osu.32435054000708	“ So you really are going?
osu.32435054000708	“ Taking an unfair advantage of my position, is n't it? ” he smiled.
osu.32435054000708	“ Tell me,"she asked hurriedly,"could it be possible that those bones were human?"
osu.32435054000708	“ That is the suppers, is n't it? ” asked Camiola.
osu.32435054000708	“ The Herr Doktor Stahlschmidt, I think? ” she said courteously.
osu.32435054000708	“ The Vajda- Maros?"
osu.32435054000708	“ The dragon is the crest of the Vajda- Maros family, I think? ” she asked.
osu.32435054000708	“ The ones you reach by means of a door in the gallery?"
osu.32435054000708	“ The ones you reach by means of a door in the gallery?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Then what is it?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Then you agree with me that it would be better not to repeat gossip to Camiola? ” demanded Neville; and ac- cepted Bassett's assent with relief.
osu.32435054000708	“ Then you know how to break the spell?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Then you think it is all nonsense to say the dragon is alive now?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Then — then the place you call the Gaura Draouluj is not in this part of the mountain? ” yole turned and looked at her.
osu.32435054000708	“ Then, ” she said,"this seems to be evidence that they had been there that it was from the cave that they dis- appeared?!
osu.32435054000708	“ There are stairs from this cave going up to the room where I sleep?"
osu.32435054000708	“ There, do you see?
osu.32435054000708	“ This is St. Ildemund's Well?"
osu.32435054000708	“ To put it like that is just your angel- goodness.?
osu.32435054000708	“ Transylvania? ” echoed the young man incredulously.
osu.32435054000708	“ Uncle, will you with Miss France and myself to- morrow morning? ” he cried eagerly.
osu.32435054000708	“ Was any trace of the missing party ever found?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Was it judicious? ” he asked suddenly,"for Camiola to start a footing of intimacy with these people?
osu.32435054000708	“ Was it judicious? ” he asked suddenly,"for Camiola to start a footing of intimacy with these people?
osu.32435054000708	“ We have been in danger, have n't we? ” she said stumblingly, using her own language.
osu.32435054000708	“ We?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Well, Frau Esler, are you going to show us the whole extent of the place?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Well, is all ready?
osu.32435054000708	“ Well, ” he went on, as if reflecting,"and why not?
osu.32435054000708	“ Were they bones???
osu.32435054000708	“ Were they bones???
osu.32435054000708	“ Were they bones???
osu.32435054000708	“ What about Reed?"
osu.32435054000708	“ What about the ones we do not use? ” asked Camiola calmly.
osu.32435054000708	“ What are you talking about? ” To this he made no reply at all, merely raising his eyes and letting his gaze rest upon her.
osu.32435054000708	“ What could have put this into her head? ” muttered the irate lady.
osu.32435054000708	“ What did her husband say when he came back? ” cried Betty, leaning forward, pale with eagerness.
osu.32435054000708	“ What did you dream? ” asked Camiola, after an in- terval.
osu.32435054000708	“ What do you think?
osu.32435054000708	“ What has happened?
osu.32435054000708	“ What is the theory in the place as to what became of the party?"
osu.32435054000708	“ What time is it now?"
osu.32435054000708	“ When you are thinking extra bad things of me, will you remember it? ” he asked, raising his eyes to her face.
osu.32435054000708	“ Where did he see it? ” she gasped, almost inaudibly.
osu.32435054000708	“ Who spoke to you, julein, of the Gaura Draculuj?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Who was the first person after the tragedy to visit the spot in question- I mean this Devil's Chasm, or whatever you call it?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Why not? ” asked Irmgard vaguely.
osu.32435054000708	“ Why not?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Why, how on earth did you contrive to do this? ” he cried, as he approached the great rock which held her pinned.
osu.32435054000708	“ Why, what is the matter?
osu.32435054000708	“ Will he have anything with him?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Would you swear to do what I told you the moment I told you?
osu.32435054000708	“ Yes, is n't it?
osu.32435054000708	“ Yes; we have agreed to go. ” “ Could you have a headache and stay behind? ” he sug- gested.
osu.32435054000708	“ You do n't think I'm a lunatic, Mizpah, dear?"
osu.32435054000708	“ You do not have many visitors? ” asked the girl pret- tily, anxious to conciliate.
osu.32435054000708	“ You go there?"
osu.32435054000708	“ You have misgivings?
osu.32435054000708	“ You have no prejudice against the marriage of first cousins?"
osu.32435054000708	“ You heard what he said about the place where they put up the stake?
osu.32435054000708	“ You know what the Roumanians say about them?
osu.32435054000708	“ You tell me that all these people vanished, leaving no trace, and that no search was made? ”"Oh, no, not so bad as that!
osu.32435054000708	“ You would n't have me behave like a- like amcad?"
osu.32435054000708	“ You would rather, would n't you, Reed?
osu.32435054000708	“ You'll excuse me, sir, wo n't you?"
osu.32435054000708	“ Your things to pack and my own, miss?"
osu.32435031556608	And what kind of fence is it? osu.32435031556608 Are we not friends?
osu.32435031556608	Are you the doctor? ” he inquired. osu.32435031556608 But it does look like dough, does n't it?
osu.32435031556608	But, if I may ask, is this all gratuitous wisdom or has it any particular bearing? ” “ It has this bearing, ” replied Thorndyke. osu.32435031556608 But, ” I expostulated,"why any disguise at all, if I am to be boxed up in these chambers?
osu.32435031556608	Do you mean a dead man, sir?
osu.32435031556608	Eh?
osu.32435031556608	Have you any pecuniary interest in his death?'' osu.32435031556608 I hope all that is at an end now?"
osu.32435031556608	Inquest? ” I exclaimed. osu.32435031556608 Is Batson always like that? ” Thorndyke asked.
osu.32435031556608	Is this going to be a meat pie, Polton? ” I asked, at length. osu.32435031556608 Last time? ” queried Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	Made careful external examination?' osu.32435031556608 Might one bresume to ask vat it's use is? ” I handed the reliquary to him and he took it from me with ill- disguised eagerness.
osu.32435031556608	No deaths?
osu.32435031556608	No unusual or obscure cases? osu.32435031556608 Now"said Sylvia,"are you ready?
osu.32435031556608	WHO IS SYLVIA? ” 30 IV. osu.32435031556608 What do you think of my little collection, Jardine? ” he asked, as I approached deferentially.
osu.32435031556608	What time had I better see that heart case? ” said I. osu.32435031556608 Why should n't you?"
osu.32435031556608	Why? osu.32435031556608 You do n't mean that? ” she said.
osu.32435031556608	You do n't mean to EXIT DR. JARDINE 235 say, ” I exclaimed, “ that you contemplate making me up?'' osu.32435031556608 You do n't think it likely that this was a case of poisoning, do you? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	'And what happened next? ” “ The next development was a letter from Father Humperdinck asking if I could give him Mr. Rein- hardt's address.
osu.32435031556608	'Can you give any sort of description of him?
osu.32435031556608	'Has he, really? ”"Yes.
osu.32435031556608	'It was a pretty strong hint to clear out, was n't it? ” Jervis remarked.
osu.32435031556608	'Tisn't six yet, is it? ” “ Two minutes past, ” replied Thorndyke, rising and looking at his watch.
osu.32435031556608	( 94) AN UNSEEN ENEMY 95 Why, how on earth did you get the key? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	44 A SILENT WITNESS “ No facial signs?
osu.32435031556608	A LONELY WOMAN 207 “ Concerning what?"
osu.32435031556608	A MYSTERIOUS STRANGER 193"What is it?"
osu.32435031556608	Am I not, at this very moment, looking at you?
osu.32435031556608	Am I right? ”"Yes.
osu.32435031556608	And again; had this business been sprung upon him so suddenly that he had had no time to get Thorndyke's opinion?
osu.32435031556608	And how came he to know that I was walking down Hampstead Road at 12.20 on the 14th inst.?
osu.32435031556608	And if so, to what purpose?
osu.32435031556608	And if so, were 308 A SILENT WITNESS the Samways involved in it in any way?
osu.32435031556608	And may I not give you my warmest sympathy without asking too curiously what brings the tears to your eyes?''
osu.32435031556608	And this is a Dr. Jardine, too?
osu.32435031556608	And what answers do you suggest to the questions that Marchmont propounded?
osu.32435031556608	And what better hiding- place could be found?
osu.32435031556608	And what concern was I of his?
osu.32435031556608	And what hiding- place could be so suitable as this remote piece of still water?
osu.32435031556608	And what more could a man desire?"
osu.32435031556608	And what, I wondered, was the connection between this mysterious tragedy and the queer little object that I had picked up?
osu.32435031556608	And whatever will be say to you when you go back?"
osu.32435031556608	And who was the gentleman who called some three weeks ago? ” “ Why, that was Dr. Jardine; you know it was.'
osu.32435031556608	And yet again, why had he written at all, instead of dropping in at our chambers with the solicitor, as was so commonly done by Thorn- dyke's clients?
osu.32435031556608	Anything happened? ” Thorndyke laughed as he shook the hand of his quondam pupil.
osu.32435031556608	Are any of them known to me?"
osu.32435031556608	Are n't you?"
osu.32435031556608	Are there any footholds?'
osu.32435031556608	Are you coming our way, Jardine? ” “ I will walk a little way with you, ” said I.
osu.32435031556608	Are you going back to Hampstead Road? ” “ Not at once.
osu.32435031556608	Are you per- fectly sure the man was really dead and not in a faint?"
osu.32435031556608	Are you prepared to make a sworn statement on the subject, sir?'
osu.32435031556608	Are you staying long in England? ”"I shall be here for at least a month; and I may as well leave you my address, although Mr. Marchmont has it."
osu.32435031556608	As I passed through the turn- 118 A SILENT WITNESS stile, he spoke to me:"Would you mind letting me look at that crucifix?'
osu.32435031556608	But have n't you rather jumped to your conclusion?
osu.32435031556608	But how had he died?
osu.32435031556608	But if it had any connection with the tragedy, what was the nature of that connection?
osu.32435031556608	But if not Morbus Cordis, what was it?
osu.32435031556608	But if she had not crossed on the boat, what was she doing in Folkestone?
osu.32435031556608	But now, to return to your latest experience, what shall we do?
osu.32435031556608	But should I hand over the mysterious trinket to them?
osu.32435031556608	But tell me how did you prevail on Dr. Thorndyke to let you come here?
osu.32435031556608	But the man died before I took over. ” “ Nothing unusual about that?
osu.32435031556608	But this was an unforeseen contingency; and the question was, did it alter my position in regard to Thorndyke's advice?
osu.32435031556608	But what do you think about that Hampstead affair?
osu.32435031556608	But what was I to do?
osu.32435031556608	But where shall I send the spoil? ” She produced her card- case, and selecting a card, handed it to me, with a smile.
osu.32435031556608	But whither had it been carried?
osu.32435031556608	But who could he be?
osu.32435031556608	But would n't it take up rather a lot of your time? ”.
osu.32435031556608	By the way, Mr. Maddock desired that his remains should be cremated, I think? ” “ Yes, so my husband tells me.
osu.32435031556608	By the way, what made you write to Curtis?"
osu.32435031556608	By the way, what sort of person was he?-a tramp?"
osu.32435031556608	By the way, where did you see us?
osu.32435031556608	Can you account for that? ”"No, I ca n't.
osu.32435031556608	Can you take over tonight? ” “ I could,"said I.
osu.32435031556608	Can you tell us how he carried or wore it?"
osu.32435031556608	Could I have missed her?
osu.32435031556608	Could he not have waited an hour?
osu.32435031556608	Could it be that my principal was overseen in his trusted laboratory assistant?
osu.32435031556608	Could the man have been merely insensible, after all, as the police suggested? ” Thorndyke shook his head.
osu.32435031556608	Could there have been foul play?
osu.32435031556608	Could this fact have been known to the Samways?
osu.32435031556608	Could you identify the man who let you in? ” “ No,"I replied.
osu.32435031556608	Dead or alive, the man had vanished utterly; and whether he was “ WHO IS SYLVIA?"
osu.32435031556608	Did he give you this sketch? ” I smiled guiltily.
osu.32435031556608	Did you measure the fence?"
osu.32435031556608	Do n't you find it so? ” I said “ Yes ” truthfully enough, for it was a feeling of this kind that had first led me to look over the cottage.
osu.32435031556608	Do n't you remember a woman who looked in at you through the glass door of Robinson's shop? ” “ Do you mean that black and scarlet creature?
osu.32435031556608	Do n't you remember a woman who looked in at you through the glass door of Robinson's shop? ” “ Do you mean that black and scarlet creature?
osu.32435031556608	Do n't you think I'm right?"
osu.32435031556608	Do n't you think it is rather dreadful?"
osu.32435031556608	Do n't you think so? ” “ I have always thought her a rather weird woman, but this is the weirdest appearance she has made.
osu.32435031556608	Do you happen to know this man Jardine?"
osu.32435031556608	Do you know anything about her? ” “ I expect she came about her account.
osu.32435031556608	Do you know her? ” “ Yes,"I replied;"and so do you.
osu.32435031556608	Do you know his name, sir? ” THE HUE AND CRY 325"He has recently passed under the name of Samway, ” replied Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	Do you mean under that name? ” “ No,"answered Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	Do you mind?
osu.32435031556608	Do you remem- ber what they were? ” “ Yes, quite well.
osu.32435031556608	Do you think I could possibly have been mistaken?
osu.32435031556608	Do you want to see anything else? ” “ I should rather like to see the outside of the building,"she answered.
osu.32435031556608	Do you?
osu.32435031556608	Does he mean that you are to make me up as an old woman or a nigger minstrel? ” “ Not at all, sir, ” replied Polton.
osu.32435031556608	Folkestone be much out of your way?"
osu.32435031556608	For an instant there flashed into my mind the suspicion that she was administering a quiet"back- hander, ” and I rejoined hastily:"WHO IS SYLVIA?"
osu.32435031556608	For how did Thorndyke know?
osu.32435031556608	For my CHAPTER III “ WHO IS SYLVIA?"
osu.32435031556608	For what was there to say?
osu.32435031556608	Got the forms? ” “ Yes, ” replied Batson, “ here they are.
osu.32435031556608	Had he simply fallen dead from some natural cause, or had he been murdered?
osu.32435031556608	Had it dropped from the dead man or from the murderer- as I assumed the other man to be?
osu.32435031556608	Had our friend risen to the bait already?
osu.32435031556608	Has your stay here been quite uneventful? ” “ Perfectly,"I replied.
osu.32435031556608	Have n't I as much right to be in Folke- stone as you have? ” “ That is mere evasion.
osu.32435031556608	Have there been any other attempts? ” “ Not on me,"I replied.
osu.32435031556608	Have you any idea who he is?"
osu.32435031556608	Have you did you give any information to the police about this accident, as you call it? ”"Good Lord!
osu.32435031556608	Have you seen the man, Jardine, lately, at the hospital?"
osu.32435031556608	Have you, as far as you know, an enemy or enemies who might conceivably try to kill you?"
osu.32435031556608	Have you? ” “ No, ” replied Sylvia.
osu.32435031556608	He lived with us for a time in Paris and came to England with us. ” “ What was his occupation? ” “ He was nominally a dealer in works of art.
osu.32435031556608	He was never in prison, so we had no chance of getting them. ” Was he married?"
osu.32435031556608	He's coming back today, is n't he?
osu.32435031556608	How are you feeling? ” “ Oh, I'm all right.
osu.32435031556608	How can it be, in the ashes of a stranger?"
osu.32435031556608	How could he or anyone else know what happened?
osu.32435031556608	How could it have disappeared? ” “ Ah!
osu.32435031556608	How did you get in that cellar? ” “ Hang''f I know, ” said I, composing myself for another nap.
osu.32435031556608	How did you persuade Dr. Thorndyke to let you come?"
osu.32435031556608	How do you suppose he contrived to track Jardine here?"
osu.32435031556608	How jer get in last night? ” “ I happened to have a piece of stiff wire in my pocket, ” Thorndyke replied impassively.
osu.32435031556608	How many are there in that parcel? ” “ Three dozen, sir,"replied Polton.
osu.32435031556608	How on earth came her face on that canvas? ”"It is an odd coincidence.
osu.32435031556608	How the deuce had she managed to “ catch me here ”?
osu.32435031556608	Howdy- do, Superinten- dent?
osu.32435031556608	I never heard of such impertinence in my life. ”"What did she do?"
osu.32435031556608	I suppose he did n't make any more of them for his other pupils? ”.
osu.32435031556608	I suppose she caught my inquiring glance, for she exclaimed: “ Did you see that woman?
osu.32435031556608	I suppose the casket is sealed? ” Yes; it was sealed in my presence, and I've got to be present when the seals are broken.
osu.32435031556608	I suppose you do n't know of any such person?"
osu.32435031556608	I've looked them over carefully, and I think it is pretty clear what this man meant to do. ” “ Did you go in? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	In the first place, who the deuce was Hector Brodribb?
osu.32435031556608	Is he in this room?"
osu.32435031556608	Is it a copy? ”"Certainly not, said Miss Vyne, the elder.
osu.32435031556608	Is n't that so, Thorndyke? ” “ Well, ” Thorndyke admitted,"I will confess that the case piques my curiosity somewhat.
osu.32435031556608	Is that the sketch you were telling me about? ” “ Yes, ” I answered; “ and it's the pick of the loot.
osu.32435031556608	Is there any change in the situation? ” “ There's a change in my situation, and a mighty agreeable change, too.
osu.32435031556608	Is this all that you have to tell us? ”"It is all; unless there is anything that you wish to ask me.
osu.32435031556608	It is so much nicer to have someone to talk over the pictures with, is n't it? ” “ Much more interesting, ” I agreed.
osu.32435031556608	It was an outrageous falsehood, but what else could I say?
osu.32435031556608	It was positively profane?
osu.32435031556608	Jardine, sir?"
osu.32435031556608	Jervis? ” “ Is watching a case in the Probate Court.
osu.32435031556608	Murder is n't very difficult to a cool- headed man who means business. ” “ Then what do you propose, sir? ”.
osu.32435031556608	My name is Letitia Samway. ” “ Was the deceased a relation of yours?"
osu.32435031556608	No injuries? ” “ No, nothing out of the common, ” I replied.
osu.32435031556608	Not after that careful inspection? ” “ That did n't include the eyes.
osu.32435031556608	Nothing unusual in his color or expression?"
osu.32435031556608	Now this man is known to have had deformed hands, of the kind 356 A SILENT WITNESS Marchmont?
osu.32435031556608	Now would you like to put the case into the hands of the police, or would you rather that we kept our own counsel and looked into it ourselves?"
osu.32435031556608	Now, I I hate it; but, might I ask how you managed your theft?"
osu.32435031556608	Now, what do you make of that?"
osu.32435031556608	Or a sort of thug?
osu.32435031556608	Or was he deliberately shamming insensibility?
osu.32435031556608	Or was he some stranger whose path I had crossed without knowing it, and whom I should not recognize even if I saw him?
osu.32435031556608	Or was it that a king may look at a cat? ”"Whichever you please,"I replied.
osu.32435031556608	Or was it that the cunning forger and swindler had sheltered himself behind their respectability?
osu.32435031556608	Or were inquiries being made even now?
osu.32435031556608	Pity, is n't it?
osu.32435031556608	Please do n't go away from me! ” What could I do?
osu.32435031556608	S'pose you do n't know how to wrap up a bottle of medicine?
osu.32435031556608	Second, if he is alive, where is he?
osu.32435031556608	Shall I go first and show you a light? ” He piloted us along the corridor and up the cobbled yard, putting away his lamp as he unlocked the wicket.
osu.32435031556608	Shall I go first? ” He halted for a moment, passing the light of his lamp over the massive door at the head of the steps, and then began to descend.
osu.32435031556608	Shall we begin at number one?''
osu.32435031556608	Shall we bolt up to the laboratory and send down word that we're all out of town?"
osu.32435031556608	Shall we go and look at that rather remarkable pink bust?
osu.32435031556608	Shall we have a look at it?"
osu.32435031556608	Shall you be at home tomorrow evening? ” Yes, I can make an appointment for tomorrow, after dinner, if you prefer that time.'
osu.32435031556608	Should I follow him?
osu.32435031556608	So, when you find that you've drawn the wrong number and you realize that there is no second chance — well, it is n't very inspiriting, is it?"
osu.32435031556608	Suppos- ing I find him and detain him in custody?
osu.32435031556608	Suppose Maddock was poisoned, what evidence will be obtainable from the ashes?
osu.32435031556608	Supposing Sylvia had said nothing about her little visits to Mrs. Blunt?
osu.32435031556608	Supposing we identify this man and even run him to earth?
osu.32435031556608	Surely those are your things? ” I said.
osu.32435031556608	THE UNHEEDED WARNING 145 “ Ca n't you see, ” retorted the other,"as'e's took the ground ’ ard?
osu.32435031556608	That is a promise, is n't it?'
osu.32435031556608	That the body which was cremated could have been the body which Jardine saw in the lane?
osu.32435031556608	That the officer?"
osu.32435031556608	That's all I can tell you about him. ” “ You have n't got his finger- prints, I suppose? ” “ No.
osu.32435031556608	The appearances suggested that 26 A SILENT WITNESS the body had been lifted over the fence, and the question arose, What was on the other side?
osu.32435031556608	The coincidence was therefore quite a notable one; but had it any particular bearing?
osu.32435031556608	The first is: Can you give any explanation of this attempt on your life? ” “ No, I ca n't, ” I replied.
osu.32435031556608	The name was obviously not applied to But could it bewas it possible that such a name could be associated with that terrific old lady?
osu.32435031556608	The next question is, how was the body taken away?
osu.32435031556608	The next question is: Does any person stand to benefit considerably by your death?
osu.32435031556608	The prospect of triumphantly hand- 316 A SILENT WITNESS “ Are we? ” she said, looking up at me earnestly.
osu.32435031556608	The question is, Who is this man?
osu.32435031556608	There were ten empty cyl- inders, a spanner, a packing- case"“ What were the dimensions of the case?"
osu.32435031556608	There's only one queer case; a heart. ” “ Valvular? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	Thus it was natural that I should raise the ques- tion, Was it possible that the two cases could be in any way connected?
osu.32435031556608	Vill you bermit me to send you a gobby vich I haf?"
osu.32435031556608	Was be insensible from the effects of injury or drugs?
osu.32435031556608	Was he left- handed?
osu.32435031556608	Was it he who passed over the fence?
osu.32435031556608	Was it possible that the man whom I had seen was not dead, but merely insensible?
osu.32435031556608	Was this inveterate enemy of mine anyone whom I knew?
osu.32435031556608	Were there any men?
osu.32435031556608	What about the others?"
osu.32435031556608	What do you say, Jardine?"
osu.32435031556608	What do you say, Marchmont?"
osu.32435031556608	What do you think about it your- self?
osu.32435031556608	What do you think of William Morgan Howard'?"
osu.32435031556608	What do you think? ”"I think, ” said Miss Vyne, “ that the suggestion is inadmissible.
osu.32435031556608	What do your friends think about it?"
osu.32435031556608	What had I done to this man that he should pursue me with such deadly purpose?
osu.32435031556608	What in the name of Fortune are you going to do? ” Miller tapped the lid of the urn with a dramatic gesture.
osu.32435031556608	What is the connection?
osu.32435031556608	What percentage do you suppose has been lost in the process of reduction? ” “ Not more than ten per cent, I hope.
osu.32435031556608	What should you say if I suggested that Mrs. Samway was the wife of that eccentric artist who used to paint on the Heath?
osu.32435031556608	What then?
osu.32435031556608	What then?
osu.32435031556608	What time did it happen? ”"I ca n't say exactly,"was the reply.

osu.32435031556608	What was the occasion of this extraordinary vendetta?
osu.32435031556608	What was this one like? ” “ Well,"she answered with a smile,"he was like an artist.
osu.32435031556608	What water is there? ” “ Five fathom here, ” replied Abel; “ that means one and a quarter on the Woolpack.
osu.32435031556608	What's the good of looking at the outside of a body?.

osu.32435031556608	What?
osu.32435031556608	When do you want to begin on me?"
osu.32435031556608	Where did you get it?"
osu.32435031556608	Where the deuce could she have seen us near enough to tell whether my companion was pretty or not?
osu.32435031556608	Which is the man?
osu.32435031556608	Who are yer, mister? ” Now that would seem to be a perfectly simple and straightforward question.
osu.32435031556608	Who nursed the deceased? ” “ I did,"said Mrs. Samway.
osu.32435031556608	Why had she stared at Miss Vyne in that singular manner- if indeed it were really Mrs. Samway, and if she really had stared in the manner alleged?
osu.32435031556608	Why on earth did n't you get out of the way? ” “ I am sure I do n't know,"she answered.
osu.32435031556608	Why should I?
osu.32435031556608	Will that do? ” “ It will do from you, sir, ” replied Miller, rising and buttoning his overcoat.
osu.32435031556608	Will you try, Humphrey? ”.
osu.32435031556608	Wire, eh?
osu.32435031556608	Wo n't you go to his relief?
osu.32435031556608	Would you like to have a look at it, sir?
osu.32435031556608	Would you mind if I hoisted you over the fence?
osu.32435031556608	Yet what could I do?
osu.32435031556608	You answer his first question:'Is Reinhardt alive?'
osu.32435031556608	You do live in this direction, do n't you? ” “ Yes; and I have been assuming that my direction was yours, too._Is that right?
osu.32435031556608	You do live in this direction, do n't you? ” “ Yes; and I have been assuming that my direction was yours, too._Is that right?
osu.32435031556608	You do not know of anything that would explain this attack on you? ” “ No."
osu.32435031556608	You know it, I expect? ”"Yes.

osu.32435031556608	You realize that you are running an enormous and un- necessary risk by going abroad with this man at your heels?"
osu.32435031556608	You remember what it was, Jardine?
osu.32435031556608	You write shorthand fairly well, do n't you?''
osu.32435031556608	You're not going, Jardine?
osu.32435031556608	You're sure the man was dead, sir?"

osu.32435031556608	and if so, did he climb over unassisted or was he helped over?

osu.32435031556608	me sometimes, wo n't you? ” “ I shall indeed.
osu.32435031556608	think he was watching us? ” “ Yes, I do.
osu.32435031556608	what a lot of questions he do ask, to be sure! ”"By the way, how did he come to know that I was missing?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Am I a very remarkable looking person, Dr. Jardine? ” she asked quietly, as if answering my thoughts.
osu.32435031556608	“ And another question is, was it ever here?
osu.32435031556608	“ And did it?"
osu.32435031556608	“ And supposing the chappie does n't start off in pursuit?
osu.32435031556608	“ And the inquiry to which you referred? ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ And what does he mean by that?
osu.32435031556608	“ And you did so? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ And you have nothing more to tell us, Father Humperdinck, as to your friend's personal appear- “ ance?"
osu.32435031556608	“ And zis man Maddock, ” he exclaimed fiercely, “ zis murderer of my poor friend Vitalis, vere is he?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Are n't you going to have this strained on a stretcher? ” he asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Are there any cases that you will want me to see with you? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Are these portraits of the man you suspect? ” asked Miller.
osu.32435031556608	“ Are you going to tell me again, Dr. Jardine, that a cat may look at a king?
osu.32435031556608	“ Are you in possession of the facts yourself? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ Are you keeping him in bed? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ But how would he have discovered that Jardine actually was here? ” “ There are a number of ways in which he might have ascertained the fact.
osu.32435031556608	“ But what was the coincidence?
osu.32435031556608	“ But why should n't the man himself leave the prints of his hands on the cylinders? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ But,"I demanded despairingly, “ is there not another Miss Vyne? ” “ There is not, ” she answered.
osu.32435031556608	“ By letter, perhaps? ” the voice suggested in the same even, impassive tone.
osu.32435031556608	“ Ca n't I walk?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Can you tell me the time?"
osu.32435031556608	“ D'ye'ear? ” persisted the first man.
osu.32435031556608	“ Did I?
osu.32435031556608	“ Did he complete the arrangements that he had mentioned? ” Thorndyke asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Did he wear them outside his clothing so that they were visible?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Did the last tenant keep any kind of carriage? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Did you go to the funeral?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Did you meet or see anyone in the lane? ”'“ Not a soul,"I answered.
osu.32435031556608	“ Do n't you know?
osu.32435031556608	“ Do n't you think, ” said Sylvia, “ that he will suspect that we went into the Stores?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Do you find small oil pictures very difficult to dispose of? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Do you mean to say,"I asked, “ that they thought I had invented the whole story?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Do you think it is really necessary, sir, in addi- tion to the other disfigurements?"
osu.32435031556608	“ First, do we know anything about Maddock?
osu.32435031556608	“ First, is Vitalis Reinhardt alive or dead?
osu.32435031556608	“ Had he noticed the peculiarity of the hands?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Had she a scarlet bird's wing in her hat?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Have n't you any idea what this stuff is going to be used for? ” “ Not the slightest, ” he replied.
osu.32435031556608	“ Have you enough of the small fragments to go on with for the present, Woodfield? ” Thorndyke asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Have you got the certificate forms? ” asked Batson.
osu.32435031556608	“ How came you to be in the lane at this time of night? ” “ I was taking a walk,"I replied,"as I do nearly every night.
osu.32435031556608	“ How far is it,"I asked,"from the lake to the place where you met me that morning?"
osu.32435031556608	“ How has he done that?"
osu.32435031556608	“ I suppose I can do the surgery work? ” said I.
osu.32435031556608	“ I suppose that you could not be bribed to steal another?"
osu.32435031556608	“ I suppose, ” said I, “ that you had a good look at the edges of the lake? ” “ Yes,"he answered.
osu.32435031556608	“ I suppose, ” said Jervis,"you have obtained a good many new facts in the course of your investiga- tions?"
osu.32435031556608	“ If it would n't distress you,"I said, “ would you mind telling me what had happened?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Is Dr. Thorndyke at home?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Is it all clear on the other side? ” he asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Is it possible,"Jervis suggested, “ that this man Gill may be some sort of anarchist crank?
osu.32435031556608	“ Is n't it basing a somewhat startling conclusion upon rather slender data?
osu.32435031556608	“ Is n't that the handsome, uncanny- looking lady with the mongoose eyes, who reminded me of Lucre- zia Borgia? ” “ That is the lady.
osu.32435031556608	“ Is n't the ordinary death certificate sufficient in a case of cremation? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Is that the handsome Lucrezia Borgia lady with the mongoose eyes who called here this morning?
osu.32435031556608	“ Is the messenger waiting? ” I asked, tearing open the envelope.
osu.32435031556608	“ Is this a large factory?"
osu.32435031556608	“ May I ask what a'snooper'is? ” I inquired.
osu.32435031556608	“ Now what might that something have been?
osu.32435031556608	“ Now, how can you ask?
osu.32435031556608	“ Obviously, ” he rejoined;"but what do you suppose they have been used for?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Reminds you? ” I repeated.
osu.32435031556608	“ She does look an awful old griffin, does n't she?
osu.32435031556608	“ So that little archbishop is your man Polton, is he?"
osu.32435031556608	“ So you've woke up, have yer? ” said he.
osu.32435031556608	“ Stuff arrived yet? ” he asked when he had brought his forehead to a satisfactory polish.
osu.32435031556608	“ That man of yours got everything ready? ” he asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Then do I understand that Mr. Curtis was not really a friend of Maddock's? ” O'Donnell chuckled.
osu.32435031556608	“ Then the next question is: Had you any property of value on your person? ” “ No.
osu.32435031556608	“ Then you've only known her quite a short time?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Then, I suppose they did n't find anything? ” said I.
osu.32435031556608	“ There is nothing else that you can think of as throwing light on his personality or explaining his actions?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Was he dressed in this fashion when he called at your office, Marchmont? ” asked Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ Was he then wearing the reliquary and crucifix as Father Humperdinck has described, on the front of his waistcoat?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Was she a char- woman or a slavey? ” “ Oh, not at all, ” replied Miss Vyne.
osu.32435031556608	“ Well! ” she exclaimed, at length, “ I meant to give you a surprise, but- what is it, Humphrey?
osu.32435031556608	“ What d'ye mean? ” demanded the first mari- ner.
osu.32435031556608	“ What did the police officers seem to think about it?"
osu.32435031556608	“ What did you make of that man? ” Sylvia asked when we were outside in the square.
osu.32435031556608	“ What did you say this gentleman's name was? ” the waxwork asked frigidly.
osu.32435031556608	“ What do you make of that, Jardine? ” he asked, at length, handing the implement to me.
osu.32435031556608	“ What do you suppose I think of you? ” “ I do n't know.
osu.32435031556608	“ What is it?"
osu.32435031556608	“ What is that?"
osu.32435031556608	“ What last time is that?
osu.32435031556608	“ What makes you ask that? ” demanded Sylvia.
osu.32435031556608	“ What question am I supposed to ask?"
osu.32435031556608	“ What sized man was he?"
osu.32435031556608	“ What the devil is the meaning of this? ” I roared, battering and kicking furiously at the door.
osu.32435031556608	“ What was this objec- tionable person like? ” I asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ What's the good o'saying that now? ” he de- manded.
osu.32435031556608	“ What's the matter?
osu.32435031556608	“ What's the matter? ” asked the inspector.
osu.32435031556608	“ Whatever do you mean? ” she asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Where are we going now? ” Sylvia asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Whereabouts did you see the body? ” inquired the constable.
osu.32435031556608	“ Who is O'Connor?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Why not? ” Thorndyke asked.
osu.32435031556608	“ Why, what are you now?
osu.32435031556608	“ Why, what else could it have been? ” 14 210 A SILENT WITNESS “ It looks more like a deliberate attempt to drown you.
osu.32435031556608	“ Why?"
osu.32435031556608	“ With regard to Mrs. Samway, ” he asked; “ did you gather that she was crossing by the Boulogne boat?"
osu.32435031556608	“ Wo n't it do tomorrow? ” he asked, when Batson had explained his difficulties and the service required.
osu.32435031556608	“ Would your quondam professor lose your respect forever, Jardine, if you saw him climb over a fence in a frock coat and a topper?''
osu.32435031556608	“ Yes, but how did he get the pattern of the lock?"
osu.32435031556608	“ You did n't see any marks of violence? ” “ No.
osu.32435031556608	“ You do n't know the artist's name?"
osu.32435031556608	“ You do n't mean that he worked in gloves? ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ You do n't think any the worse of me,"she continued,"for coming to you and begging a little sympathy and friendship?"
osu.32435031556608	“ You have made inquiries, of course? ” said Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ You hope so? ” queried Thorndyke.
osu.32435031556608	“ You want a detailed log of Sinbad's voyages, do you? ” said I.

uc1.b4103594	“ Did you treat Duncombe like this? ” he asked in a blind fit of jealousy.
uc1.b4103594	“ Do n’t mind my going on with my breakfast, do you?
uc1.b4103594	“ Do n’t you know, man, that Guy has been found in the Seine, robbed and drugged, and murdered without a doubt?
uc1.b4103594	“ Do you live there all alone You have sisters perhaps? ” He shook his head.
uc1.b4103594	“ Do you think that you would be interested? ” she asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ George, are you ready? ” his host called out.
uc1.b4103594	“ George, ” he asked sharply, “ what is on the north side of this room? ” “ The wall! ” Duncombe answered.
uc1.b4103594	“ Have n’t upset you, I hope, coming down from the clouds in this fashion? ” “ Not in the least, ” Duncombe answered.
uc1.b4103594	“ He comes from a place called Raynesworth. ” “ He is staying here now — with you? ” “ Yes, ” he answered gravely.
uc1.b4103594	“ He is coming back, ” she said, “ at twelve o'clock. ” “ Do you wish me to give up the paper? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ He is coming here. ” “ Here?
uc1.b4103594	“ He would not be one of these cold, heavy countrymen of yours, no?
uc1.b4103594	“ Henri, ” he said, “ your young friend is with you? ” “ But certainly, ” his nephew answered with a sigh.
uc1.b4103594	“ Hiding, are you?
uc1.b4103594	“ How is it that you — an Englishman – speak French so well? ” she asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ How old is the young lady? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ How the dickens can I?
uc1.b4103594	“ Hungry I Hotel? ” he attempted.
uc1.b4103594	“ I am permitted, ” he asked gently, “ to introduce myself? ” “ Quite unnecessary 1 ” Spencer answered.
uc1.b4103594	“ I really do not see why I should answer such a question at all. ” “ You will be merciful? ” he begged, lowering his tone.
uc1.b4103594	“ It is cold travelling. ” “ But how can I return them to you? ” she protested.
uc1.b4103594	“ It would help Mademoiselle, perhaps, if she knew where the young gentleman spent the evening before he disappeared? ” she inquired mysteriously.
uc1.b4103594	“ Mademoiselle has news yet of her brother? ” she inquired.
uc1.b4103594	“ May I come and see you to- morrow morning? ” “ If you prefer it, ” Lord Runton said doubtfully.
uc1.b4103594	“ May I inquire the name of the friend to whom you are asked to take her? ” The Marquis yawned slightly.
uc1.b4103594	“ Mind my skirts l ’ ’ “ I say, what does ‘ prenez garde ” mean? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ Miss Poynton — she is an old friend of yours? ” “ I am very anxious to see her, Madame! ” cº Why?
uc1.b4103594	“ Miss Poynton — she is an old friend of yours? ” “ I am very anxious to see her, Madame! ” cº Why?
uc1.b4103594	“ Money? ” “ No, a letter, ” Lord Runton answered.
uc1.b4103594	“ Monsieur has seen the young lady?"
uc1.b4103594	“ Monsieur like talk with me, eh? ” “ English'"he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ Monsieur talks reasonably, ” he declared, “ but why all this mystery: Why this feigned drunkenness?
uc1.b4103594	“ My dear Vicomte, do you mind ringing the bell?
uc1.b4103594	“ Nearly made a fool of myself, did n't I? ” he re- marked, with a levity which did not sound altogether natural.
uc1.b4103594	“ Not from the road. ” “ From the house? ”- “ They could, ” he admitted, “ but it is the servants'dinner hour.
uc1.b4103594	“ Nothing?
uc1.b4103594	“ Oh, what have I done? ” she moaned.
uc1.b4103594	“ One of our future Duchesses, I suppose? ” Lady Runton smiled.
uc1.b4103594	“ Order some coffee, wo n't you — and what liqueurs? ”* “ I ’ll go and fetch my friends, ” she declared, rising.
uc1.b4103594	“ Say, Sybil, where did we stay in Paris?
uc1.b4103594	“ Sir George Duncombe, is it not? ” she remarked, “ I am not receiving this afternoon, but your message was so urgent.
uc1.b4103594	“ Take care. ’ Why? ” He laughed again.
uc1.b4103594	“ Then what, Count, ” he asked, “ is the meaning of the mobilization of two hundred thousand men at Kiel?
uc1.b4103594	“ Well, ” she said, “ he is comme il faut, is he not?
uc1.b4103594	“ Well? ” “ The telegram is from Spencer, ” Duncombe said.
uc1.b4103594	“ What am I to do? ” she said to herself softly.
uc1.b4103594	“ What became of it? ” the Duke asked sharply.
uc1.b4103594	“ What can he find to interest him so much here Do you see how he keeps his head turned this way?
uc1.b4103594	“ What can one hear?
uc1.b4103594	“ What do you gather from it? ” he asked eagerly.
uc1.b4103594	“ What do you mean? ” she cried.
uc1.b4103594	“ What do you want with me? ” she asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ What has happened? ” he called out.
uc1.b4103594	“ What is the meaning of this? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ What was that? ” she cried.
uc1.b4103594	“ Whatever have you been doing to yourself? ” he asked at length.
uc1.b4103594	“ Who are my judges, then What secret authorities have I incensed?
uc1.b4103594	“ Who can say?
uc1.b4103594	“ Who was that? ” she asked quickly.
uc1.b4103594	“ Why did she go to that place at all? ” “ God only knows 1 ” Andrew murmured.
uc1.b4103594	“ Why do you look at me like that?
uc1.b4103594	“ Why not?
uc1.b4103594	“ Why should I go?
uc1.b4103594	“ Will you come this way? ” Duncombe followed him into a small room behind the counter.
uc1.b4103594	“ Will you kindly proceed?
uc1.b4103594	“ Yes — very! ” “ What sort of a fellow's the father? ” “ Very quiet.
uc1.b4103594	“ You are quite sure that you will not have any- thing else? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ You have it here? ” Guy shook his head.
uc1.b4103594	“ You have it in your possession? ” She shook her head “ I gave it to some one to take care of, ” she said, “ when I was over in England.
uc1.b4103594	“ You know me? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ You know most of the young ladies who come here, I suppose? ” he asked.
uc1.b4103594	“ You will permit me to see her? ” Duncombe begged.
uc1.b4103594	“ You ’re English, are n’t you? ” Mademoiselle Flossie waved a temporary adieu to her friends and accepted the invitation.

osu.32435017624511	- “ Anyhow — what?—what ails you, Larne? ” “ ’ Fraid I'm getting hysterical, ” Larne's grimness was relaxing and becoming a grin.
osu.32435017624511	12 INTRODUCTORY “ Will Miss La Croix have her heavier cloak now? ” he asked, with marked deference.
osu.32435017624511	72 A BLIND LEAD “ Dockey, ” she questioned, “ how do you like the way my story begins? ” The Doctor started perceptibly.

osu.32435017624511	A rare sort| Can it be that she's just an actress and not — a criminal? ” And, somehow, this thought seemed to please him.
osu.32435017624511	A thief?
osu.32435017624511	A woman's head. ” “ And why not a woman ’s head, before? ” Larne laughed.
osu.32435017624511	Abinger, have you finished your report? ” “ I have a message; at least it amounts to that,-for you, Val, ” Abinger replied.
osu.32435017624511	Accepting this tale of trial and temptation as true — and it must be true — where lies the honor — where the strength — and weak- ness?
osu.32435017624511	All ready now Tony? ” He lifted his hat, and led the way down the slope.
osu.32435017624511	All the same, Missus, do you ob- serve those wagon tracks?
osu.32435017624511	Also, there is one other, not easily deceived. ” “ Who then? ” demanded Abinger.
osu.32435017624511	Am I being kidnapped?
osu.32435017624511	Am I wrong? ” “ You are right — in the main.

osu.32435017624511	And I wonder how it was that all could agree, all be so sure, that it was Miss La Croix who departed in the first auto?
osu.32435017624511	And already, she had given her mistress notice, and was only now serving out the required month's end. ” What had made this change?
osu.32435017624511	And how could her captors feel so safe, so secure, here in New York, or very near it?
osu.32435017624511	And now,—do you think me mistaken? ” “ Gad!
osu.32435017624511	And ought she to leave her servants, to be terrorized, per- haps, in her absence?

osu.32435017624511	And where — meantime — is the real luna- tic?
osu.32435017624511	And who was she?
osu.32435017624511	And why did they so persistently disbelieve, or assume to disbelieve her declarations that she was not Iris La Croix?
osu.32435017624511	And yet? ” he looked across at his friend and laughed again.
osu.32435017624511	And you — are a bachelor — who don't — know — women? ” Larne's eyes were mirthful.
osu.32435017624511	And — after all — would she come?

osu.32435017624511	And — we do not fear their tongues. ” “ And the other — the girl? ” There was no answer.
osu.32435017624511	And — what can we do?—having barred out the police?
osu.32435017624511	And, by the way, I meant to cut that name out. ” “ And why? ” she demanded.

osu.32435017624511	Are we to understand that will make no further effort — are you fully convinced? ” “ I am fully convinced: Effingham replied, dully.
osu.32435017624511	As a lawyer you would,—I fancy. ” “ You want to know my conclusion?
osu.32435017624511	As the odd looking figure landed before the low set rear door, 292 A BLIND LEAD thing imagined?
osu.32435017624511	At What? ” “ The curb there!
osu.32435017624511	Be frank with me, Larne, are you in any manner of doubt about this busi- ness that I am about to undertake?
osu.32435017624511	Been shopping again have you?
osu.32435017624511	But I do wonder that you dare accost me, you surely saw my crusty parting from Mr. Loundes? ” and again the lips parted in a smile.
osu.32435017624511	But how?
osu.32435017624511	But not for long, Madam ’s voice was soon saying, “ Here you are, boy; listening?
osu.32435017624511	But still — she's different! ” “ And the arm? ” ventured Larne.
osu.32435017624511	But the others were nearer the spot where we found the message — shall you tell — ” “ Shall I tell the others?
osu.32435017624511	But what did she do to that Mister Loundes? ” Riding townward, a little later, Bruce Abinger was thoughtful and troubled.
osu.32435017624511	But who understands him?
osu.32435017624511	But why?
osu.32435017624511	But — don't you see what that might imply? ” “ I see what you mean 1.
osu.32435017624511	But — go on. ” “ And — I want you to tell this also to Mr. Abinger for — an un- seen listener. ” “ Who?—For whom?
osu.32435017624511	But — had she tried to help her?
osu.32435017624511	But — would she really come?
osu.32435017624511	But — you say—‘The case is closed. ’ Do you mean that?
osu.32435017624511	By the way, Effingham, have you- but of course you have, a good picture of Miss Iris La Croix? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435017624511	By the way, can you parley voo'in Dutch? ” Larne laughed and nodded.
osu.32435017624511	Ca n't a man make a call? ” But in Abinger's eyes, which his friend could not see, was a look expressive of both surprise and anxiety.
osu.32435017624511	Came for the Prince Henri functions, and went home quite suddenly — anything more? ” “ Thank you.
osu.32435017624511	Can you persuade her to add to your collection?
osu.32435017624511	Carrington L? ” “ Miss — Irene Smedley — was it not?
osu.32435017624511	Carrington L? ” “ Miss — Irene Smedley — was it not?
osu.32435017624511	Carrington Leach — and her husband — ” “ Oh, are you- a friend?
osu.32435017624511	Come — speak out? ” James was an old servant,—and he knew his master.
osu.32435017624511	Could it be?
osu.32435017624511	Could n’t it be managed? ” “ Not for a million| What!
osu.32435017624511	Did the newspaper you saw state of this letter with its list of symbolic words,—that all the letters were typwritten?
osu.32435017624511	Did you ever see the proof of death? ” “ Good Heavens — No!
osu.32435017624511	Did you observe it, Tony?
osu.32435017624511	Do n't I allus obey orders? ” “ Carry, my Son, some fine day you'll catch yourself talking stable Batter in somebody's drawing room.
osu.32435017624511	Do n't you think there's a slight family resem- blance? ” “ My soul! ” exclaimed Abinger.
osu.32435017624511	Do n't your poor neck ache? ” “ It does, my dear!
osu.32435017624511	Do you agree with me Madam Dalmeney? ” Madam's smile was divided between Larne and the doctor.
osu.32435017624511	Do you feel like ordering — yet? ” “ Oh, yes.
osu.32435017624511	Do you still bid me look to you? ” “ I do!
osu.32435017624511	Do you understand, Mr. Effingham, that I work only in my own way?
osu.32435017624511	Do?
osu.32435017624511	Does it suggest anything? ” Val Effingham struck his clenched fist upon Abinger's — fortun- ately — padded desk, with vigor.
osu.32435017624511	Effingham — it — it is Mr. Effingham? ” she questioned and then, “ Ah, thank you — I understand.
osu.32435017624511	Effingham, you young reprobate, why ca n't you stay put?
osu.32435017624511	Els TEIHe# bstitute? ”-, echoed Abinger.
osu.32435017624511	For what else was that padded room, in which, for a day, she had been kept?
osu.32435017624511	For, if the war is over, as we say, why this continued espionage? ” “ Why indeed?
osu.32435017624511	For, if the war is over, as we say, why this continued espionage? ” “ Why indeed?
osu.32435017624511	For, was he not an Abinger of the Abingers?
osu.32435017624511	Good evening Larry — ” she turned in the half open doorway, “ shall you be here tomor- row afternoon? ” she asked.
osu.32435017624511	Got your visiting cards, girls?
osu.32435017624511	Had all her mes- sages failed her?
osu.32435017624511	Had he not, hastily, and without forethought, wired them of his coming?
osu.32435017624511	Had she not seen the belles of New York in all their glory, and outlived that glitter?
osu.32435017624511	Had she perchance been studying her part?
osu.32435017624511	Had she, perhaps, been simply paying him off for his silence about the list?
osu.32435017624511	Has Iris —?
osu.32435017624511	Has Rohan gone?
osu.32435017624511	Have you any plans? ” “ I came to suggest — something. ” “ Good! ” Again the relief was evident.
osu.32435017624511	He paused to look up and down the road, and then said with a grin, “ ’ Scuse me, sir; you ’re going? ”- “ North, ” murmured Leach.
osu.32435017624511	He's down and out. ” “ Out of the Asylum? ” “ That's it!
osu.32435017624511	He's taken offices there. ” “ Who, Bruce? ” “ Yes, Goose!
osu.32435017624511	His past? ” “ How far back? ” “ The farther the better — I suppose. ” “ Larry! ” she bent upon him a keen, clear gaze.
osu.32435017624511	His past? ” “ How far back? ” “ The farther the better — I suppose. ” “ Larry! ” she bent upon him a keen, clear gaze.
osu.32435017624511	His telegram was addressed to Miss Mollie Hartwell of Chicago, and it contained this surprising inquiry: “ Is Iris with you?
osu.32435017624511	How could I ever have been so duped! ” s “ Ah! ” It was the girl's voice, still firm, still imperious, “ then — it was so?
osu.32435017624511	How could they?
osu.32435017624511	How does it look?
osu.32435017624511	How much about Jerry La Croix?
osu.32435017624511	How would she meet it?
osu.32435017624511	However, I'll admit it — you’ve given me a mouthful. ” “ Well? ” The word was a demand.
osu.32435017624511	I just want to know if you're sure of your premises? ” “ Sure as taxes!
osu.32435017624511	I know it. ” “ Can you make others know it? ” “ Listen, ” Effingham said, “ and judge! ” CHAPTER IV.
osu.32435017624511	I mean Iris La Croix's disappearance — and re- turn? ” “ About what you do, I fancy.
osu.32435017624511	I really think — there — I always begin upside down. ” “ What is it, man?
osu.32435017624511	I see a chimney. ” BORNE ON THE WIND 123 “ Only one? ” “ Yes — no!
osu.32435017624511	I suppose her family would hardly object? ” “ But they do! ” crisply.
osu.32435017624511	I think there's a mulatto in the woodpile! ” “ Name it — or is it just him? ” Miss Irene Smedley sat sud- denly erect, and looked interested.
osu.32435017624511	I thought — ” “ That we admitted no strangers?
osu.32435017624511	I wonder if — Harriot thinks I ’m new?
osu.32435017624511	I'm so fond of truffles. ” “ Oh — pouf Think you're smart — don't you? ” Miss Smedley laughed tolerantly.
osu.32435017624511	If I am my brother's keeper, and can only save, retrieve, my brother's honor with my own, what then?
osu.32435017624511	If you ’ve quite settled down, tell me,—how did this belief first come to you? ” Effingham hesitated.
osu.32435017624511	In Bruce Abinger's law office? ” “ You will be psychic, my Lady!
osu.32435017624511	In the meantime, can you take me to call upon the lady? ” “ In what capacity?
osu.32435017624511	In the meantime, can you take me to call upon the lady? ” “ In what capacity?
osu.32435017624511	In- stead — “ What story? ” questioned the culprit.
osu.32435017624511	Intentional?
osu.32435017624511	Irene look! ” “ Where child?
osu.32435017624511	Iris, tell me, when you came home from — your — mysterious journey, did you intend to renew, or ratify, your engagement to me?
osu.32435017624511	Is Larry in his den? ” “ We were chatting, just a moment ago. ” Madam nodded to- ward the telephone upon a tabourette near her hand.
osu.32435017624511	Is he covering the whole county? ” grumbled Leach.
osu.32435017624511	Is it closed to Miss La Croix, the real one?
osu.32435017624511	Is it closed — to the abductors of Miss La Croix? ”.
osu.32435017624511	Is it done?
osu.32435017624511	Is it wise — or quite safe, not to have a look within the city, as well as outside?
osu.32435017624511	Is n't it true, Papa?
osu.32435017624511	Is n’t it absurd? ” “ I think it's very natural!
osu.32435017624511	Is she Val ’s betrothed?
osu.32435017624511	Is that it? ” Smiled Madam.
osu.32435017624511	Is that it? ” “ Yes. ” “ It could hardly be called a conclusion; not as you would make it.
osu.32435017624511	Is the headsman there? ” And Iris, smiling and serene, replied.
osu.32435017624511	Is there — really — a madman loose in the vicinity? ” “ Yass Missy — shorely, am — ” “ That will do!
osu.32435017624511	It comes into her hands sometime next month, so Carry says, well? ” “ Well, of course the thing was soon settled, then.
osu.32435017624511	It's getting to be a very interesting game. ’ ” “ And — if he draws out?
osu.32435017624511	It's rather a crooked route that we took. ” “ Yes?

osu.32435017624511	Listen — are you near a large house built between the upper road, so called, and the ‘ Merry Creek?
osu.32435017624511	Look at that face and tell me what you think?
osu.32435017624511	ME TOO 115 “ Young Fitzmaurice wrote Val at note of warning — only yes- terday. ” “ And you say — it began — you think — when?
osu.32435017624511	May I go on? ” “ Go on, ” he nodded soberly.
osu.32435017624511	May I keep the — trophy? ” “ Why, it's yours — captain!
osu.32435017624511	May she not be guarding a secret?
osu.32435017624511	Much as weeks ago, ai n't it, Nell?
osu.32435017624511	Must I face that pub- licity — after all the rest? ” “ Not if the choice is left to me, ” he was looking at her keenly.
osu.32435017624511	My soul, where are your eyes?
osu.32435017624511	No one — ever. ” “ And — I may see you still, as before?
osu.32435017624511	Now then, Jimmie? ” “ You see, ” began the man, Jimmie Daw, who was small, wiry, keen of eye, and quite young.
osu.32435017624511	Now, observe?
osu.32435017624511	Of course the evidence, thus far, is mostly circum- stantial? ” “ Of course! ” “ And — there's a deal of — coincidence?
osu.32435017624511	Of course the evidence, thus far, is mostly circum- stantial? ” “ Of course! ” “ And — there's a deal of — coincidence?
osu.32435017624511	Of course, you'll carry a war- rant — for a Miss Helmuth. ” “ Charge? ” “ Conspiracy.
osu.32435017624511	Oh, well — the point is, will she go at once to the Hartwell place — if at all? ” “ I think she will, ” said Carnes.
osu.32435017624511	Oh, what can it be?
osu.32435017624511	Or is it, perhaps, an elopement —?
osu.32435017624511	Really?
osu.32435017624511	See?
osu.32435017624511	Seriously? ” Again, for a moment — their eyes met, hers inquiringly, his seemingly indifferent, and half smiling.
osu.32435017624511	Shall I find you soon?
osu.32435017624511	Shall I meet you at the Club with my new Lim', and take you in, you and Leach?
osu.32435017624511	She could hear the first voice hush them with a tone as of author- ity, and then — “ Miss Smith? ” “ I am here, ” icily.
osu.32435017624511	She read it and semed to hesitate briefly, then — “ Where in the city is she — my — double? ”- Larne told her in fewest words.
osu.32435017624511	Sit down, and tell me why you were hunting me, with old La Croix, when I left his house not an hour ago?
osu.32435017624511	So you're going to help me out old man? ” “ What's the game? ” “ ’ Member the La Croix abduction? ” “ Huh!

osu.32435017624511	Tell me — which would serve best?
osu.32435017624511	The La Croix case? ” He paused, and was silent a moment.
osu.32435017624511	The o ” “ VV hat 1 ” cried the tall girl at her elbow, “ Iris La Croix?
osu.32435017624511	Then — but first- does he know it was I who just called you? ” “ No. ” “ Then do n’t enlighten him.
osu.32435017624511	There was something in those papers that they wished me to see? ” The woman nodded.
osu.32435017624511	There's bound to be some spot that do n't ring true! ” “ And you have not found it? ” “ I do not believe it is there to be found!
osu.32435017624511	This girl — with the face, the bearing,-yes, and — I doubt not — the temper of the La Croixs — what else can one think? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435017624511	This is Abinger — Frayne are you likely to be in town — your town, and free to do two or three things for me right away?
osu.32435017624511	Thought you were going to let the girl slip away without a fond good- bye; or is there a little quarrel afoot?
osu.32435017624511	To the young woman who is, you believe, masquerading in Miss La Croix'place, is the case closed?
osu.32435017624511	Um- m, I wonder though, if Effingham's job will be agreeable- altogether? ”- CHAPTER X.
osu.32435017624511	Val has observed this, and — so have others. ” “ What others? ” The question came swiftly, and Abinger smiled as he answered.
osu.32435017624511	WAS MISS HELMUTH KIDNAPPED TOO?
osu.32435017624511	Wait, who keeps the key of that upper room, Alec? ” “ Missus- of late, Miss Alys, ” he quavered.
osu.32435017624511	Was ever a pretty, daintily attired, girl seen, or even imagined, in such a position?
osu.32435017624511	Was it not great risk, just then?
osu.32435017624511	Was it possible?
osu.32435017624511	Was that the face of Iris La Croix?
osu.32435017624511	Was this clue — the clue of the red ribbon — a message from the imprisoned daughter of Jerry La Croix, or was it a hoax?
osu.32435017624511	We will assume, at the outset, that you are right; what comes next? ” “ My soul!
osu.32435017624511	Well? ” There was inquiry in this last syllable; demand, almost.
osu.32435017624511	What can it mean? ” “ That, Abinger, is what we must learn — if possible.
osu.32435017624511	What could he say to her?
osu.32435017624511	What did her aunt say? ” The man grinned.
osu.32435017624511	What do they know? ” “ They have a string of hopeful clues.
osu.32435017624511	What do you mean by saying that you are in trouble?
osu.32435017624511	What does it mean — girls? ” “ So that's it, ” muttered James.
osu.32435017624511	What else? ” “ And that ’s all you saw? ” disgustedly.
osu.32435017624511	What else? ” “ And that ’s all you saw? ” disgustedly.
osu.32435017624511	What has hap- pened since we dined together last night?
osu.32435017624511	What is it, officer?
osu.32435017624511	What must — what could, he do?
osu.32435017624511	What of it? ” “ It was not the lace, nor the glove, my girl; It was — Valen- tine. ” “ He was rather slow in getting things straight.
osu.32435017624511	What seems wrong now must be righted soon? ” “ Nothing is ‘ wrong.
osu.32435017624511	What then? ” “ Then, you must be the judge.
osu.32435017624511	When did she arrive?
osu.32435017624511	When the postman had gone La Croix turned again to the footman, “ anything peculiar, or unusual, about this letter, James? ” he questioned.
osu.32435017624511	Where could one be safer hid? ” “ True! ” It was Larne who uttered the word, in a tone of con- viction.
osu.32435017624511	Where is she? ” A “ Out ridin'in a auto – She had to go or else ask the folks in.
osu.32435017624511	Where was she, now? ” The girl decided that she would risk something and ask Mammy; and when the chance came, she did.
osu.32435017624511	Where's his proof? ” “ He finds that in her actions of late;—and in things she has recently spoken of, that a stranger could not know!
osu.32435017624511	Who among your real friends has urged or even asked you to tell — anything? ”.
osu.32435017624511	Who is, if any one?—Dick, eh?
osu.32435017624511	Who would think that a few artistic touches would so alter a face?
osu.32435017624511	Why had she doubted and half sus- pected her?
osu.32435017624511	Why should I?
osu.32435017624511	Why where is the fellow? ” And the tall young man stared at him amazed.
osu.32435017624511	Will it be — the Palm room? ” “ And the Hungarians?
osu.32435017624511	Will it be — the Palm room? ” “ And the Hungarians?
osu.32435017624511	Will the future ever reveal it?
osu.32435017624511	Will you answer a few questions, Iris? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435017624511	Will you tell them — what I wish you to? ”- “ Yass- um- um — ” “ Wait!
osu.32435017624511	Will you, in kindness to an anxious and unhappy woman, write me the truth as to these reports?

osu.32435017624511	Yes?
osu.32435017624511	You could see, from the road, little glimpses of winder curtains, and lifted sashes, here and there. ” “ In the mansard? ” “ Yep!
osu.32435017624511	You do n't think they have spied upon me always — from the time they first brought me — set me free? ” “ No.
osu.32435017624511	You do n't want the details of that story — eh? ” “ Indeed, not!
osu.32435017624511	You have thought it all over, no doubt? ” “ No doubt! ” assented Abinger.
osu.32435017624511	You think you can arrange it? ” “ I intend to try.
osu.32435017624511	You want to make this journey? ” A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION 189 “ I certainly do!

osu.32435017624511	and alone of course? ” He gave the expected answer quite meekly, and hurried out to join his friends.
osu.32435017624511	and him with millions and millions?
osu.32435017624511	and if so — why?
osu.32435017624511	and will you at all times call upon me, command me, at need, and knowing how gladly, willingly, I shall come? ” “ Yes!
osu.32435017624511	as were all the later instructions as to the send- ing of the ransom? ” “ Mercy — no! ”.
osu.32435017624511	easiest?
osu.32435017624511	especially, Lady Gay? ” “ Sure, Mum!
osu.32435017624511	hal Indifferently, eh? ” Effingham nodded, saying “ This picture, you will remember, was taken shortly before Iris disap- peared.
osu.32435017624511	he did n’t think it was my idea, I hope?
osu.32435017624511	how could she, in two weeks, or a little more?

osu.32435017624511	see how in earnest he seems?
osu.32435017624511	set up a search here for Miss Iris La Croix? ” It ’s unthinkable!

osu.32435017624511	thus far, then, am I to infer that you and Mr. Effingham reason in accord? ” Abinger leaned toward his questioner and put a firm hand upon his knee.
osu.32435017624511	was that —? ” he stopped.
osu.32435017624511	what ’s the word? ” “ Larry, do come in at once!
osu.32435017624511	what's in it, Tonie? ” she questioned.
osu.32435017624511	where now? ”.
osu.32435017624511	where, zwhere?
osu.32435017624511	will you allow me to explain?
osu.32435017624511	with full control of all lines of the search, and — a free hand, in details? ” “ Do you mean — ” Effingham hesitated.
osu.32435017624511	you do know the place?
osu.32435017624511	‘ Is it because you have found in your absence that you can live very well without me, Iris? ” he stopped and bit his lip, flushing slightly.

osu.32435017624511	“ All ready, Missus? ” “ All — ready, ” absently.
osu.32435017624511	“ Am I right? ” he finished.
osu.32435017624511	“ And Il Do you know how very important this is — as proof? ” Then, before she could answer, he threw up his head.
osu.32435017624511	“ And perhaps you have asked yourself why she received this news as she did?
osu.32435017624511	“ And why? ” he asked.
osu.32435017624511	“ And — Miss La Croix? ” Larne favored him with a glance of veiled amusement.
osu.32435017624511	“ And — first; do you still wish me to handle this case? ” “ Why surely!
osu.32435017624511	“ And — there is no change then, in your feelings?
osu.32435017624511	“ And — you will sign? ” “ I Will not!
osu.32435017624511	“ Any new plans? ” He could hardly wait for the answer.
osu.32435017624511	“ Are you hurt, Iris?
osu.32435017624511	“ Are you sure you feel like lunching just now, Iris? ” he asked doubtfully.
osu.32435017624511	“ Are you sure? ” he questioned.
osu.32435017624511	“ Bruce Abinger is a lawyer, and very clever — in many ways. ” “ Irene Smedley, what do you mean by that? ” “ Just what I say.
osu.32435017624511	“ Bruce have you shaken Effingham yet? ” “ No.
osu.32435017624511	“ Bruce, did you ever notice the little scar upon Iris La Croix's left arm?
osu.32435017624511	“ But it is certainly lonely; and it looks as if it had been closed. ” “ Before it was opened?
osu.32435017624511	“ But not often, Iris? ” This from Tony.
osu.32435017624511	“ But say! ” “ Culty ” anxiously questioned, “ Why did n't this here Cop ketch that slob for buttin'inter a lady that way?
osu.32435017624511	“ But — Madam, as I look back, and think, may not this be the solution of the whole mystery?
osu.32435017624511	“ Dear ‘ Miss La Croix': ” here he looked up saying: “ Of course you have both observed that the name is between quotation marks?
osu.32435017624511	“ Did La Croix ever hint at any suspicions, in your talk with him? ” “ Never.
osu.32435017624511	“ Did Miss La Croix order her letters forwarded, James? ” he asked.
osu.32435017624511	“ Did n't Miss La Croix ever have hysterics then, Doctor, before this time? ” “ My soul, no!
osu.32435017624511	“ Do I under- stand that La Croix is altogether out of this? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435017624511	“ Do you want that thing?
osu.32435017624511	“ Do you want — Carry — or myself? ” she hesitated.
osu.32435017624511	“ Doctor dear, shall I tell you?
osu.32435017624511	“ Dry up ca n’t ye, ” he snapped, “ I ’m a listenin*!??
osu.32435017624511	“ Dry up ca n’t ye, ” he snapped, “ I ’m a listenin*!??
osu.32435017624511	“ Excuse me — you have n’t seen a small tool- kit in a leather case, have you?
osu.32435017624511	“ Explain — please? ” “ It is what I meant to do.
osu.32435017624511	“ Get- ting exciting is n’t it? ” he commented.
osu.32435017624511	“ Good afternoon gentlemen — or must I say evening?
osu.32435017624511	“ Have I ever before seen this woman?
osu.32435017624511	“ Hello Perry! ” they saluted him, almost in unison, and Mrs. Leach added, “ Whither away? ” “ Good day to you all! ” he returned lightly.
osu.32435017624511	“ How are ye, gentlemen?
osu.32435017624511	“ How did this young lady take your request for a picture? ” He asked quietly.
osu.32435017624511	“ How far is it — from the Clubhouse? ” “ Quite five miles, I should think.
osu.32435017624511	“ How long do you remain? ” she parried.
osu.32435017624511	“ How long has Dr. Erastus Flack been the family medicine man? ” Larne asked.
osu.32435017624511	“ How much do you know about the affair, anyhow? ” demanded the little matron.
osu.32435017624511	“ I see that ‘ strong heart has taken the field, and that I have only to listen, and obey, ” he said, “ Will the queen be seated?
osu.32435017624511	“ I suppose the game is — to follow her, or run the chance of losing her trail?
osu.32435017624511	“ I will, Missus, if you'll tell me why you've so suddenly taken a fancy to have more horses up; especially, Lady Gay?
osu.32435017624511	“ I wo n’t be long! ” And then, as the door shut upon them, “ Now, girl, where are you? ” he called.
osu.32435017624511	“ I — don't understand? ” Val Effingham said, and he let his eyes repeat the utterance.
osu.32435017624511	“ I ’m not too late, am I? ” he questioned.
osu.32435017624511	“ If I think 1 Pardon me, but — who else should speak the final word?
osu.32435017624511	“ In God's name, Larne, ” he demanded, “ What shall we do? ” “ Begin, ” said Larne quietly.
osu.32435017624511	“ Irene, what do you think of that affair? ” “ You mean — ” “ Oh, bother!
osu.32435017624511	“ Is it that kid- napping affair? ”- “ I ca n’t go into details, now, Lady Lorraine.
osu.32435017624511	“ Is it you, Mr. Abinger? ” she questioned, “ and may I speak with you?
osu.32435017624511	“ Is it you, Mr. Abinger? ” she questioned, “ and may I speak with you?
osu.32435017624511	“ Is it — the right word, then? ” “ It's the ‘ word ’ that makes me long to hasten our movement upon that sanitarium!
osu.32435017624511	“ Is n't the worst over?
osu.32435017624511	“ Is that all, Jimmie? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435017624511	“ Is that our car? ” “ Yes. ” “ There are two in front? ” “ It seats seven.
osu.32435017624511	“ Is that our car? ” “ Yes. ” “ There are two in front? ” “ It seats seven.
osu.32435017624511	“ It concerns you — and herself, principally. ” “ Does it concern the case — as a whole? ” asked Effingham.
osu.32435017624511	“ It's no use, Mr. Tomlinson — you call yourself that do n’t you?
osu.32435017624511	“ Leaving town Larne? ” he asked, falling into step beside them.
osu.32435017624511	“ May I ask you a few personal questions?
osu.32435017624511	“ May I speak with you, quite alone, for a few moments? ” she asked quietly.
osu.32435017624511	“ Meaning? ” she paused.
osu.32435017624511	“ Miss — La Croix? ” She got up and went slowly to the tube, and if her face was wan and woeful, her voice did not falter, as she said.
osu.32435017624511	“ Must we go into that — again? ” “ Not if you object.
osu.32435017624511	“ Must you go?
osu.32435017624511	“ Or — poet? ” spoke Larne.
osu.32435017624511	“ Or — you do n’t suppose — ” “ That it's a hoax?
osu.32435017624511	“ Shall I catch him for you? ” “ You may set the poor thing free, if it is a bird — and if you think you can reach it.
osu.32435017624511	“ Shall I? ” she asked.
osu.32435017624511	“ Surely, ” he evaded, “ you know Hillary Larne?
osu.32435017624511	“ Tell me — are you getting on with the — biography? ” Madam in her turn grew suddenly mysterious.
osu.32435017624511	“ That is from the letter, word for word? ” he exclaimed.
osu.32435017624511	“ The child, of course, you are quite sure it is the right one?
osu.32435017624511	“ Then who is the La Croix family physician? ” he asked.
osu.32435017624511	“ There has been a substitution?
osu.32435017624511	“ There's more, I see; more telegrams? ” “ Not yet, ” she took a folded paper from the desk at her elbow, and held it in her hand, saying: i.
osu.32435017624511	“ This name? ” she mused—“what have I heard, or read, about the mice blonde doctor, quite recently — Ah — I have it.
osu.32435017624511	“ Was it in the city, do you think? ” “ I ca n’t guess!

osu.32435067037473	Perhaps it will be neces- sary for David and me to return to London immediately. ” “ Why?

osu.32435067037473	Where did you see it? ” “ On the blade of the Ko- Katana that killed Sir Alan Hume- Frazer, ” answered Brett.
osu.32435067037473	Where do you find stranger tales than in the records of every- day life?
osu.32435067037473	Where does it come out? ” he asked, speaking rapidly in a low tone.
osu.32435067037473	Where does it lead us, anyhow What is known about Capella? ” “ Very little.
osu.32435067037473	Where is Capella? ” “ I killed him, ” was the cool reply.
osu.32435067037473	Where is the man now?
osu.32435067037473	Where is the original? ” “ Here, in my pocket- book. ” They silently compared the two typed sheets.
osu.32435067037473	Where to? ” “ To Whitby, in Yorkshire. ” “ Well, that is curious, ” said Robert, who clearly did not like to question her about her husband.
osu.32435067037473	Where was it placed?
osu.32435067037473	Which of you would not dirty his boots to recover such a valuable article as this? ” Some people grinned sympathetically.
osu.32435067037473	Who is Capella bringing with him? ” “ Witnesses, ” volunteered Winter.
osu.32435067037473	Who killed Sir Alan Hume- Frazer?
osu.32435067037473	Who made these statements to you? ” “ I have been blackmailed, bled systemati- cally for large sums of money.
osu.32435067037473	Who on earth could he be? ” was Hume's natural exclamation.
osu.32435067037473	Whom does she dread?
osu.32435067037473	Whose crest does it bear?
osu.32435067037473	Why did I let such a handful as Mrs. Jiro slip through my fingers the other day?
osu.32435067037473	Why did he use such a weird instrument as the Ko- Katana?
osu.32435067037473	Why did n't he meet me face to face?
osu.32435067037473	Why did n't you ask your hushand that question? ” “ Because my husband, with all his faults, is innocent of that crime.
osu.32435067037473	Why did the bureau keeper speak so loudly?
osu.32435067037473	Why did you not let me know, and why are you here?"
osu.32435067037473	Why do you ask? ” “ Because I have been looking up a little in- formation with reference to the Ko- Katana and its uses.
osu.32435067037473	Why have you dropped part of your surname? ” “ It is a long story.
osu.32435067037473	Why not be equally particular about the knife? ” “ But this weapon has been for fifty years in Glen Tochan.
osu.32435067037473	Why not lock him up, 139 140 A LEGACY OF HATE and seize the type- writer?
osu.32435067037473	Why was I not warned?
osu.32435067037473	Why was not the sword itself employed? ” “ That string of questions leaves me out, Mr. Brett. ” “ I am equally uninformed.
osu.32435067037473	Why were precautions taken by the father to diminish his daughter's income?
osu.32435067037473	Why, then, had husband and wife drifted apart?
osu.32435067037473	Why? ” “ Because I want to see Miss Helen Layton.
osu.32435067037473	Will he fight me, or must I treat him as a cur?"
osu.32435067037473	Will he meet me on the Continent and settle our quarrel like a gentleman, not like a hired bravo P ”"“ What quarrel? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435067037473	Will you do it? ” Again their eyes met.
osu.32435067037473	Will you order my carriage?
osu.32435067037473	Winter broke in with a hasty question: “ If he is speaking the truth about the snake poison, should n't we send for a doctor?"
osu.32435067037473	Winter, do you hear me?
osu.32435067037473	Winter, the Scotland Yard man who had charge of the business, is an old friend of mine"“ What restrained you? ” “ Pity, and perhaps doubt.
osu.32435067037473	Would he have ordered things differently had he possessed the power?
osu.32435067037473	Would the disciple rend his master?
osu.32435067037473	Would you care to remain for the night?
osu.32435067037473	Would you know him again? ” “ I ca n't be certain.
osu.32435067037473	Would you know him again?"
osu.32435067037473	You are my cousin, and ought to know. ”| “ My dear girl, ” he cried, “ why this solem- 294 A LEGACY OF HATE nity?
osu.32435067037473	You are safe here?
osu.32435067037473	You can not imagine how miserable that man Capella makes me. ” “ Why?"
osu.32435067037473	You carried me back to 1763, but Heaven alone knows when you will end. ” “ Will you take up my case?"
osu.32435067037473	You contemplate taking divorce proceedings against her? ” “ I do. ” “ But you are lying on both counts.
osu.32435067037473	You do intend to marry this unconvicted felon?"
osu.32435067037473	You know perfectly well that if half the people in this county were asked, ‘ Who killed Sir Alan Hume- Frazer?'
osu.32435067037473	You were aware that I had quitted the hotel, because you called there P ” “ Yes. ” “ Whom did you see? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435067037473	— With love, yours,* NELLIE. ” “ Who brought this note? ” inquired Hume from the waiter as he picked up pen and raper.
osu.32435067037473	“ A dorking, sir. ” “ And how do you know it is a dorking? ” “ Oh, there's lots of ways of knowin'that, sir.
osu.32435067037473	“ Again I ask, ” she exclaimed, “ why do you tell me? ” “ The reason is obvious.
osu.32435067037473	“ And how is my pretty karasu? ” he asked, regarding his wife fondly.
osu.32435067037473	“ Any luck with the Jap, sir? ” asked the detective cheerily Brett told them what had happened, and Winter sighed.
osu.32435067037473	“ Any message? ” he asked Brett.
osu.32435067037473	“ Are you Signor Capella? ” he inquired.
osu.32435067037473	“ Are you quite certain of this? ” he asked, his surprise at the turn taken by the conversation almost throwing him off his guard.
osu.32435067037473	“ Are you so hard up that you could not buy food?".
osu.32435067037473	“ Are you sure of this? ” demanded Brett, excitedly springing from his chair.
osu.32435067037473	“ Are you sure of this? ” he demanded.
osu.32435067037473	“ Because he told me he was making a DAVID HUME'S STORY 27 “ Did you quarrel with your cousin in London? ” “ Not by word or thought.
osu.32435067037473	“ But why did you not mention these incidents subsequently?"
osu.32435067037473	“ But you believed me guilty? ” The barrister looked his questioner straight in the eyes.
osu.32435067037473	“ Can you doubt it?
osu.32435067037473	“ Davie did not come with you?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Did you chance to notice the destination of the omnibus immediately preceding the Road Car vehicle? ” said Brett.
osu.32435067037473	“ Did you see the person described as the Japanese?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Do you mean that he understands lacquer work, Satsuma ware, painting or inlaying Is he a connoisseur or a student? ” “ It is all Greek to me!"
osu.32435067037473	“ Do you mean to say that you possess a record of the facts?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Do you really think you will be able to clear up this affair, sir?
osu.32435067037473	“ Do you remember what I told you about Japanese names? ” he said.
osu.32435067037473	“ Do you wish to see your cousin? ” “ And who the devil may you be'"was the uncompromising answer.
osu.32435067037473	“ Does your friend fight? ” he said, fixing his dark eyes, blazing with anger, intently on the other.
osu.32435067037473	“ Gentleman, ” he said, “ why are you so sur- prised?
osu.32435067037473	“ Good Heavens! ” he vociferated, “ when shall I begin to comprehend this business in its entirety?
osu.32435067037473	“ Has he got black, snaky eyes and high cheek- bones? ” the conductor inquired thought- fully.
osu.32435067037473	“ Helen, of course. ” “ Any other person? ” “ No.
osu.32435067037473	“ Hello, Mrs. Crowe, do n't you know me? ” cried Hume.
osu.32435067037473	“ Here are what? ” cried Brett.
osu.32435067037473	“ How am I to decide? ” she said tremu- lously.
osu.32435067037473	“ How did you come to be in such a state?"
osu.32435067037473	“ How did you discover this fact? ” asked Brett, awaking out of a brown study.
osu.32435067037473	“ How now, you green- eyed monster? ” “ No.
osu.32435067037473	“ I did. ” “ One was Mr. David and the other a Mr. Brett? ” “ Oh, was that the tall gentleman's name P ” “ I expect so.
osu.32435067037473	“ I?
osu.32435067037473	“ In what way can I help you? ” she mur- mured, and the words appeared to come from a heart of stone.
osu.32435067037473	“ Indeed?
osu.32435067037473	“ Is he the oldest? ” “ Good gracious, sir, no.
osu.32435067037473	“ Is it necessary that I should go there?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Is it to be for three, or none? ” inquired Brett, compelling Margaret to meet his gaze.
osu.32435067037473	“ Is n't the make- up good? ” “ It is the make- up that always leads you astray.
osu.32435067037473	“ Is that all?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Is that possible? ” said the Japanese.
osu.32435067037473	“ Is there any liquor in the dining- room?
osu.32435067037473	“ Is there any need for further risk?"
osu.32435067037473	“ It is a grave question with the authorities whether they should not arrest you instantly, ” he said “ On what charge? ” cried Jiro.
osu.32435067037473	“ It never occurred to you that you might be suspected? ” “ Never, on my honour!
osu.32435067037473	“ Just so; but witnesses in what cause? ” “ How the — how can I tell? ” “ By applying your borrowed logic.
osu.32435067037473	“ Just so; but witnesses in what cause? ” “ How the — how can I tell? ” “ By applying your borrowed logic.
osu.32435067037473	“ Just time to get a message through to Whitby, and perhaps a reply. ” He wrote a telegram to Hume: “ Where is Fergusson?
osu.32435067037473	“ May I ask, sir, if what I have told you will be useful in your inquiry?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Miss Layton knows the whole of your story, of course? ” “ Yes; she and my father only.
osu.32435067037473	“ Now, I wonder if Fergusson is still at the Hall?
osu.32435067037473	“ Oh, Nummie dear, have we been doing wrong?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Really, Davie,"she said, “ now that your o 2IO A LEGACY OF HATE cousin has come amongst us, you must remove your beard at once. ” “ Why?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Shall I whistle for a cab, sir? ” said the hall- porter.
osu.32435067037473	“ She has such a foreign manner and style. ” 28 A LEGACY OF HATE “ How did she acquire them?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Smith, ” suddenly cried the master of the household, “ what sort of chicken have we for dinner? ” “ Cold chicken, sir. ” “ Thank you.
osu.32435067037473	“ So you really are innocent? ” he said, after a pause.
osu.32435067037473	“ So, ” he growled savagely, “ the hand that struck down Alan was the same that sough?
osu.32435067037473	“ Tell me about them. ” “ What can I tell you?
osu.32435067037473	“ The rector retired to his study immediately after lunch, I presume? ” “ Yes, ” said David innocently.
osu.32435067037473	“ Then he was compelled to hang about the avenue, watching his opportunity — his oppor- tunity for what?
osu.32435067037473	“ This is for use at the coroner's inquest, I suppose? ” inquired David.
osu.32435067037473	“ Was it so important to ascertain what she did during that hour and a quarter? ” “ Important!
osu.32435067037473	“ Was that one of the other reasons you hinted at in the library when telling us why ycu did not volunteer evidence at the trial?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Well, Winter, what do you think of it? ” he said.
osu.32435067037473	“ Well, how goes the ratiocinative process?"
osu.32435067037473	“ What about you, Robert? ” she whispered.
osu.32435067037473	“ What are we supposed to do — shake hands? ” he inquired blandly.
osu.32435067037473	“ What are you hinting at? ” he cried, striving hard to govern his voice.
osu.32435067037473	“ What caused the trouble at Mrs. Eastham's ball? ” “ I think I can explain that.
osu.32435067037473	“ What do you want? ” demanded a suspicious Wonnan.
osu.32435067037473	“ What does Mr. David Hume look like, Smith? ” he asked.
osu.32435067037473	“ What else can it be?
osu.32435067037473	“ What else have you written there? ” he said, and Brett could not help but admire his forced composure.
osu.32435067037473	“ What good purpose can it serve at this time to reopen the miserable story? ” he asked.
osu.32435067037473	“ What happened when you jumped the hedge? ” he said to Hume.
osu.32435067037473	“ What has upset you? ” he went on.
osu.32435067037473	“ What is Capella going to get out of it? ” “ Revenge!
osu.32435067037473	“ What is it? ” “ It is this.
osu.32435067037473	“ What the deuce has it got to do with you? ” he replied fiercely.
osu.32435067037473	“ What's a- goin'on in the park, sir?"
osu.32435067037473	“ When you reached Stowmarket did the stationmaster exhibit any marked interest in you? ” he inquired.
osu.32435067037473	“ Which make do you prefer?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Who else?
osu.32435067037473	“ Who has appointed you grand inquisitor to the family, I should like to know?
osu.32435067037473	“ Why are you so anxious to prevent Capella and Ooma meeting, sir? ” asked the detective, as their vehicle sped along Victoria Street.
osu.32435067037473	“ Why are you so interested in Mr. Okasaki? ” he inquired.
osu.32435067037473	“ Why are you such a fool as to resist the kindness offered to you?
osu.32435067037473	“ Why did you come here to- day?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Why did you give your cousin this sword?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Why did you not let me know you were coming? ” “ Because I did not know myself until an hour before I left London.
osu.32435067037473	“ Why do you say “ setting sun ’?
osu.32435067037473	“ Why do you suspect me? ” she exclaimed brokenly.
osu.32435067037473	“ Why have you left us alone all those years, to turn up at last in this queer way?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Why, sir, has anything special happened?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Why?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Will you be here when I come back, sir? ” he asked.
osu.32435067037473	“ Will you come quietly,"he said, “ or by the scruff of the neck?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Yes, so my father says; but why does it appeal to you in that way?"
osu.32435067037473	“ Yes. ” “ Does it convey no moral to you?
osu.32435067037473	“ Yes. ” “ Is David still in love with her? ”* Yes. ” “ And she with him? ” David Hume broke in: “ Yes, Rita.
osu.32435067037473	“ Yes. ” “ Is David still in love with her? ”* Yes. ” “ And she with him? ” David Hume broke in: “ Yes, Rita.
osu.32435067037473	“ Yes? ” queried Hume.
osu.32435067037473	“ You let two gentlemen in a while ago? ” he said.
osu.32435067037473	“ You must have heard, from her maid or some other source, where Mrs. Capella has gone to? ” “ N — no, sir, ” stammered the man.
osu.32435067037473	“ You probably guess the object of our visit? ” he began.
osu.32435067037473	“ You said: ‘ Davie, why did you try to murder me?'
osu.32435067037473	“ ‘ Has Fergusson ever been asked if his master received any visitors on the day of the murder or during the preceding week?

uc1.a0008178329	A COUNTRY HOUSE VISIT 179 “ Where is he, Pop? ” he inquired.
uc1.a0008178329	A few minutes later the director asked suddenly: “ What are those lights? ” The driver stared for a moment or two.
uc1.a0008178329	And now let us consider the best alternative — ” “ Alternative to what? ” inquired Philip.

uc1.a0008178329	And then what happened? ” “ The moment we stopped, I leapt out and asked the first porter which was the platform for the Conti- nental train.
uc1.a0008178329	And thereupon she disap- peared?
uc1.a0008178329	And what put Mr. Perry on to Mason ’s track? ” “ Oh, we had our suspicions of him.
uc1.a0008178329	And what's my programme in the mean- time?
uc1.a0008178329	Any later news? ” “ Yes, sir; though it has'ad a kind of unsatisfactory endin', too.

uc1.a0008178329	But what do you mean by a false scent? ” “ The idea, ” replied Mr. Essington still more im- pressively, “ is this.
uc1.a0008178329	But when is too soon?
uc1.a0008178329	By the way, when does Poppleham want me? ” “ Soon as possible.

uc1.a0008178329	Essington? ” replied Philip stoutly.
uc1.a0008178329	For a moment Mr. Mason studied him very attentively, and then he asked: 254 THE LUNATIC AT LARGE AGAIN “ Did you ring, Francis? ” “ Hullo!
uc1.a0008178329	Have you? ” Mr. Mason's manner was brief, and, one would say, unconcerned.
uc1.a0008178329	Have you? ” “ Absolutely nothing at all. ” Mr. Mason paced to the window and back again.
uc1.a0008178329	His face turned even paler than before as he gasped: “ Me?

uc1.a0008178329	I could n't even swear to him if I met him again. ” “ Did you expect her to be met by anyone else but yourself? ” asked Mr. Perry.
uc1.a0008178329	I do hope she is better, and coming here soon! ” “ My sister? ” he said a little awkwardly.
uc1.a0008178329	I noticed a gentleman waiting outside whom I am not particularly anxious to meet. ” “ Who was he? ” “ I only wish I knew.
uc1.a0008178329	I really do n't know what to make of the business. ” “ Where is this fellow? ” demanded Dr. Jenkinson.
uc1.a0008178329	In a moment he asked: “ Have you any idea who the man in the fur coat can be? ” “ His name, ” said Mr. Essington, “ is Legion.
uc1.a0008178329	Is all safe again? ” 146 THE LUNATIC AT LARGE AGAIN He read the slip of paper with an expressionless face, and then crumpled it up in his hand.
uc1.a0008178329	It'll be the early bird that catches the worm this time, and no mistake ſ ” “ What is this gentleman's real name? ” inquired the rector.
uc1.a0008178329	It's too magnificent for any of us or- dinary people. ” “ Could you possibly find out his name? ” asked Philip.
uc1.a0008178329	Know any- thing about him? ” “ I am not quite sure, ” said Philip.
uc1.a0008178329	Mandell- Essington, I believe? ” said the young man.
uc1.a0008178329	Mason, I believe? ” said he.
uc1.a0008178329	Miss Staynes asked her to'ave it sent on to you. ’ “ ‘ But why did n't I get it sooner?'
uc1.a0008178329	Mothers'meetings, baptisms — you'd like me to take them, of course?
uc1.a0008178329	Off you get now! ” “ Yes, but where ’s he to write?
uc1.a0008178329	Oh, it's you, Annette., Well? ” 234 THE LUNATIC AT LARGE AGAIN really did not!
uc1.a0008178329	Oh, what am I to do when I hop into the dark? ” The stranger again held up one finger and gal- vanised the unfortunate young man into attention.
uc1.a0008178329	Or some other woman? ” “ And spoil the whole game?
uc1.a0008178329	Or some other woman? ” “ And spoil the whole game?
uc1.a0008178329	Or tweeds?
uc1.a0008178329	Pytcher is at home, I presume? ” said the Rev.
uc1.a0008178329	Ridley's friend, I presume? ” said he.
uc1.a0008178329	Ridley?'
uc1.a0008178329	She never mentioned it?
uc1.a0008178329	Shuttleton- Bowles in? ” inquired the man.
uc1.a0008178329	Shuttleton- Bowles, sir, I presume? ” said the man.
uc1.a0008178329	Staying with her still? ” “ Naturally.
uc1.a0008178329	THE DOCTOR'S VISITOR 55 “ Are you Dr. Jenkinson? ” inquired the young 111a11.
uc1.a0008178329	That is the beauty of our vocation, is it not, dear rectah? ” 98 THE LUNATIC AT LARGE AGAIN “ My daughter — Mr.
uc1.a0008178329	Then I wrote to Sir Joshua and told him exactly what had happened. ” “ Have you got his answer? ” “ It came this morning.
uc1.a0008178329	Then go to the nearest magistrate; tell him that your name is Essington — ” “ Essington? ” said the curate.
uc1.a0008178329	Then she asked: “ Have you heard anything more from Sir Joshua?
uc1.a0008178329	Then what brought you down? ” “ Have you heard anything of Francis? ” “ Not yet.
uc1.a0008178329	Then what brought you down? ” “ Have you heard anything of Francis? ” “ Not yet.
uc1.a0008178329	They are relations, in fact, are they not? ” “ Connections.
uc1.a0008178329	W. D.—whose initials are those? ” “ My old uncle's — John Wilson Dawkins, ” Mr. Essington explained.
uc1.a0008178329	We saw them leaving as we arrived at the station. ” “ You actually saw them? ” “ We could n't be sure at the moment.
uc1.a0008178329	Well, that was all you had to tell me? ” “ Yes, Harry.
uc1.a0008178329	What are we going to do now? ” she asked at last.
uc1.a0008178329	What can a wandering lunatic do? ” “ Francis is capable of any — er — eccentricity. ” “ Eccentricity'Exactly.
uc1.a0008178329	What does it say?
uc1.a0008178329	What have you really done?
uc1.a0008178329	What is it? ” said Charles stoutly.
uc1.a0008178329	What motive could he possibly have?
uc1.a0008178329	What's the trouble?
uc1.a0008178329	What's up? ” he demanded cheerfully.
uc1.a0008178329	When do we start? ” “ Time to get there for dinner.
uc1.a0008178329	When is he coming down to see me? ” “ He is very busy in the City at present, I'm afraid; but of course he will come as soon as he possibly can.
uc1.a0008178329	Where am I to go? ” “ Say Liverpool — somewhere in the docks, ” sug- gested Mr. Essington.
uc1.a0008178329	Where is he, sir? ” “ Lodging in the village, I believe.
uc1.a0008178329	Where shall I go?
uc1.a0008178329	Who are you really? ” Though Mr. Essington hesitated, one would never have guessed it.
uc1.a0008178329	Who let him out? ” Dr. Jenkinson drew himself up, and his manner also changed.
uc1.a0008178329	Who's got a match? ” The task of relighting his cigar occupied Lord Clarence for the first two miles.
uc1.a0008178329	Will you get in first? ” “ No, ” said Charles emphatically.
uc1.a0008178329	Will you? ” “ D — n the fire! ” muttered Mr. Mason.
uc1.a0008178329	Would his clothes fit me? ” The ex- butler looked him up and down.
uc1.a0008178329	Would you be willing to shield the unfortunate if they chanced to be guilty? ” “ I do n't know, ” she answered thoughtfully.
uc1.a0008178329	You agree to the back stairs now? ” “ Rather! ” said Charles.
uc1.a0008178329	You are not a member of the Anti- Ritual League, I pre- sume? ” “ The Anti- ritual? ” gasped the curate.
uc1.a0008178329	You are not a member of the Anti- Ritual League, I pre- sume? ” “ The Anti- ritual? ” gasped the curate.
uc1.a0008178329	You can do it quite easily — for her sake. ” “ How far is it? ” inquired Charles.
uc1.a0008178329	You changed in this house? ” “ Certainly. ” “ I shall come with you. ” Mr. Essington promptly sat down again.
uc1.a0008178329	You do n't mind, my dear rectah? ” The disarming smile seemed to arrest what was going to be a somewhat inclement answer.
uc1.a0008178329	You quite understand? ” “ Perfectly, ” said Philip warmly.
uc1.a0008178329	You ran the risk of my being guilty? ” “ I ’m a sinner myself — at heart anyhow, ” she con- fessed.
uc1.a0008178329	You remember that I was to have a free hand? ” “ I am not disputing it, Harry.
uc1.a0008178329	You've probably'eard of Lord Poppleham? ” “ Yes, ” said Mr. Parker, “ I believe he belongs to.
uc1.a0008178329	at billiards; in fact, first class at everything! ” “ At what other things? ” asked his friend.
uc1.a0008178329	“ A Mr. Francis Mandell- Essington. ” CHAPTER II THE ONE GOOD CARD& g R. MANDELL- ESSINGTON? ” repeated the lawyer.
uc1.a0008178329	“ A fellow that can be trusted to obey instructions implicitly? ” said he.
uc1.a0008178329	“ A little, ” she confessed, and then asked, “ How did you find your sister?
uc1.a0008178329	“ A liver of the idyllic life, I presume? ” “ As — ah — idyllic as- ah — possible, ” sighed the curate, and gave an involuntary sniff.
uc1.a0008178329	“ About anything in particular? ” She hesitated, and then suddenly looked up into his face, her candid eyes sorrowful and anxious.
uc1.a0008178329	“ And I ’ve come to arrest my valet! ” “ Your who? ” exclaimed the voice.
uc1.a0008178329	“ And had he sort of ferrety lookin'eyes? ” “ By Jove, the very man! ” exclaimed Essington.
uc1.a0008178329	“ And that's the whole of it, is it? ” “ All but a few details, most of which I have for- gotten.
uc1.a0008178329	“ And wanting another, eh? ” “ Devilish badly. ” The landlord beamed on him beneficently.
uc1.a0008178329	“ And whose fault is that? ” asked the first voice.
uc1.a0008178329	“ And you'll take me with you this time? ” cried Toothill.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Any sign of anyone, Dobson? ” asked his master.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Anything happened? ” he inquired.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Are you Mr. Essington? ” she asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Are you the gentleman who saw Mr. Essington escape? ” asked the doctor.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Are — are you quite sure? ” he asked, but his quavering voice showed that he had really little hope the stranger might be in error.
uc1.a0008178329	“ At whose instigation was this suggestion made? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Awkward? ” she repeated.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Been feeling lonely, Beatrix? ” he asked with a smile such as neither Dr. Jenkinson nor Annette had seen on his face that day.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Begun already, has she?
uc1.a0008178329	“ But if we are caught?
uc1.a0008178329	“ But, by Jingo, I shall to re- ward you! ” “ But then why is that man after you?
uc1.a0008178329	“ By Jingo, were you?
uc1.a0008178329	“ By the way, any other matters to discuss, my lord?
uc1.a0008178329	“ By — ah — did you say the Convocation? ” “ After consultation of course with the Arch- bishops and Scotland Yard.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Can not one gentle- man trust another gentleman?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Can the man actually have any idea of that kind? ” he asked himself.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Come home at once! ” “ May I ask why? ” inquired the Knight mildly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Did my mother tell you I was an enthusiastic gardener?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Did you pull the communication cord, sir? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do I know Curly? ” he said to himself, “ I ’m dashed if I can remember!
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do n’t know him, ” said Mr. Pytcher, and then he exclaimed suddenly, “ By Gad! ” “ What is it? ” she whispered.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do n’t you realise the danger? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do n’t you want to know what has become of the genuine Crispin? ” She shrugged her shoulders.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do you happen to know who that was with Dr. Jenkinson? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do you mean Mr. Pytcher? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do you mean to say he got such a note? ” He nodded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Do you realise what it means for us? ” This voice he did not recognise.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Er — what's your name? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Er — you want me to try and find out something, do you? ” “ Do you object very much? ” she asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Er — you want me to try and find out something, do you? ” “ Do you object very much? ” she asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ For your mother's sake! ” “ But — ah — why for the sake of my mothah? ” repeated the curate blankly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Got into a scrape? ” he inquired with his nearest approach to a genial manner.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Has she gone to bed yet? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Have n't you heard that I have got my discharge?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Have you ever come across him — er — I mean ever seen him? ” LORD POPPLEHAMPS VALET 173 “ Now, have I? ” said Mr. Parker to himself.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Have you ever come across him — er — I mean ever seen him? ” LORD POPPLEHAMPS VALET 173 “ Now, have I? ” said Mr. Parker to himself.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Have you found her? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ He does n't seem to be here yet! ” “ Nobody else to meet us? ” “ Do n’t seem to be, anyway.
uc1.a0008178329	“ How did you get hold of it? ” Suspicion was in his eye, but she merely smiled.
uc1.a0008178329	“ How much start will you give me? ” he inquired.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Hullo, what's up? ” inquired the director.
uc1.a0008178329	“ I beg your pardon? ” he inquired with an air of innocent surprise.
uc1.a0008178329	“ I believe, ” said he, “ that you are acquainted with my uncle, Sir Joshua Horsham? ” “ Oh, yes, certainly, ” said the doctor affably.
uc1.a0008178329	“ I have duties towards Beatrix, after all — and leaving her alone with you — can't you get Elizabeth to come?
uc1.a0008178329	“ If it is possible?
uc1.a0008178329	“ In bed, is he?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Indeed? ” said Mr. Mason stonily.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Is he with you? ” “ He is watching the front of the house.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Is that any business of yours? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Is that his real name? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Is this one of the husbands, or Basil himself? ” he wondered.
uc1.a0008178329	“ May I ask the name of the people we stay with? ” “ Jones. ” “ Jones?
uc1.a0008178329	“ May I ask the name of the people we stay with? ” “ Jones. ” “ Jones?
uc1.a0008178329	“ May I ask who you are? ” “ Beatrix Staynes, ” said she.
uc1.a0008178329	“ May I ask your name? ” inquired the doctor.
uc1.a0008178329	“ May I inquire your name? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ My dear fellow, you have never been deprived of your liberty for ten years — ” “ Ten years? ” interrupted Dr. Jenkinson.
uc1.a0008178329	“ My dear girl, ” he demanded, “ how do you come to be here? ” “ I am staying with Mr. Mason, ” she said simply.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Not even why I made my way into “ The Retreat'to interview your friend, Mr. Essington? ” There was no doubt the shot went home.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Nothing to ask me? ” “ Nothing whatever, ” said Mr. Mason with a touch of irony.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Notice any improvement in my billiards? ” in- quired Lord Poppleham.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Really? ” said the Rev.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Run him to earth and dig him out, Pop; what? ” cried Curly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Scoundrels — Sir Joshua and Cousin Harry? ” “ Cousin Blackguard l ’ ” said he.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Shall I open the window? ” he suggested.
uc1.a0008178329	“ She is in your house — unprotected What do you lack?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Still in bed, I suppose? ” “ N — no sir.
uc1.a0008178329	“ That man who met her was not Sir Joshua! ” “ You are certain? ” 14 THE LUNATIC AT LARGE AGAIN “ Perfectly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ That ought to be a place they call ‘ The Retreat. ’ ” “ What, my friend Dr. Jenkinson's place? ” ex- claimed the director.
uc1.a0008178329	“ That was the idea I had in my mind; to go and see him about it. ” “ Who is he? ” asked the lawyer.
uc1.a0008178329	“ That's different. ” “ Is it?
uc1.a0008178329	“ That's — er — the usual way to spell it, is n't it? ” “ Right, my lord, quite right! ” said Mr. Parker with an air of cordial approval.
uc1.a0008178329	“ The most mysterious thing that ever happened? ” declared Mr. Jones, as he parted with the baffled police.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Then who was the person who called upon me? ” The little man's gimlet eyes fairly danced with glee.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Then you think I must have pulled it?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Then you ’ve got out — er — I mean come out after all?
uc1.a0008178329	“ This is the telegram you expected; yes?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Time for me to move! ” thought the new curate, but it was with every appearance of extreme enthusi- asm that he replied: “ My duties?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Unfortunately? ” repeated the lawyer sharply.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Was that the little chain I took hold of acci- dentally? ” he exclaimed.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Well, Uncle Joshua, what's brought you? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Well, good night; you had better be getting off to bed, had n't you? ” “ I really ca n’t thank you enough, Harry.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Well, that being so, what steps do you mean to take?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Well? ” said the rector.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What are you goin’ to do? ” asked Charles.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What do looks matter at present?
uc1.a0008178329	“ What is it?
uc1.a0008178329	“ What makes you think so? ” “ I do n’t think so: I know it.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What mistake is possible? ” “ He might have met with some accident. ” He shook his head sceptically.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What steps do you mean to take if I get you this information? ” asked the lawyer cautiously.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What truth? ” smiled Mr. Essington, refilling his glass.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What was the fellow like who wrote this wire? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What was your next step? ” asked the lawyer.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What will she do? ” he asked himself as he walked back to his lodgings in the village.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What's his age? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ What; no sign of the Duke? ” “ No, sir, ” replied the driver, his tone becoming distinctly deferential.
uc1.a0008178329	“ When are you going down to the village, father? ” asked his daughter.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Where is Philip? ” she cried.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Where is your bag? ” he inquired.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Where shall we go, Philip?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Where the devil has he gone? ” demanded Lord Poppleham.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Who is it? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Who is she? ” he inquired.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Who saw him last? ” cried the master, but for some moments nobody answered.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Who ’s that? ” demanded a voice.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why are you bringing it? ” he demanded.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why do you think I should? ” “ From your manner.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why do you want to know? ” “ I am his attendant, ” said the man.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why meet at the top of the back stairs? ” he asked.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why should he take it down? ” he demanded “ He knows my aunt's address perfectly well. ” “ Of course!
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why the deuce should I want to make you drunk, Francis? ” “ I was wondering, ” said Francis.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Why? ” “ I had a lesson yesterday, Curly. ” “ Well, you certainly did n't cut the cloth, ” ad- mitted Curly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Will you really?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Will you sit here till I'm safely over that garden wall?
uc1.a0008178329	“ You agree with me then, that Sir Joshua is at the bottom of it? ” said he.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You are a friend of Mr. Essington's, I presume? ” To this, Mr. Mason made no answer whatever, and Philip continued with commendable politeness.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You do n't mean to say my friend Ridley is to be in Salchester to- night?
uc1.a0008178329	“ You do n't mind, do you?
uc1.a0008178329	“ You had probably guessed already? ” suggested Philip.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You have nothing to say to me then? ” “ Nothing, ” said Mr. Mason distantly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You lent him your coat to escape in? ” interrupted Mr. Mason.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You lent me a fiver, did n’t you? ” said he.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You mean you accepts the job — right off — no more inquiries? ” “ None, ” said Mr. Parker firmly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You mean you want to go yourself and — and make inquiries? ” She looked up again and met his gaze firmly.
uc1.a0008178329	“ You see that fellow pacing backwards and for- wards over there and occasionally looking at us as though he were wondering who the devil you were?
uc1.a0008178329	“ Young man or old? ” “ Youngish man; tallish figure; fair-'aired; clean- shaved.
uc1.a0008178329	“ Your health? ” inquired the stranger.
uc1.a0008178329	“ ‘ Who is she?'
uc1.b3815639	54 MISSION OF FEAR “ I had an appointment with my attorney at eight o'clock. ” “ Who would that be? ” Garvey asked.
uc1.b3815639	58 MISSION OF FEAR “ Some children's encyclopedia. ” “ He just happened to stop here? ” “ Not exactly.
uc1.b3815639	Am I right so far? ” “ Yes. ” “ Marion gave you the seventy- five thousand from the insurance money that I had invested for her.
uc1.b3815639	And Garvey kept the questions coming fast — questions that all reduced to one: Was Ted Corbin alive?
uc1.b3815639	And for what purpose?
uc1.b3815639	As they went down the steps Hayden said: “ How much time have we got? ” “ Enough.
uc1.b3815639	Ask her where she'd been or pretend he did not know she had been gone?
uc1.b3815639	At least he tried to be. ” “ This was this afternoon? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3815639	But how recently?
uc1.b3815639	But what do we do now? ” “ Get a drink. ” “ All right.
uc1.b3815639	But why ca n't I drive you into town? ” “ No. ” “ But I want to.
uc1.b3815639	But why? ” “ I thought you might know.
uc1.b3815639	Can you hold on? ” Freeman was sitting in a straight- backed chair, the heel of his left hand pressed beneath the right shoulder.
uc1.b3815639	Do n't you see, darling? ” she said, a break in her voice that she could not control.
uc1.b3815639	Do you want to drive over there and leave the car? ” “ We ’ve got this far with it, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	Got it? ” “ Yes, I think so.
uc1.b3815639	Hastings?
uc1.b3815639	Have you been out today? ” “ This morning.
uc1.b3815639	Hayden? ” “ That's right. ” 50 MISSION OF FEAR “ I ’m Lieutenant Garvey of the State Police.
uc1.b3815639	He did n't like it though, did he?
uc1.b3815639	He did n't stop here, at least not while I was on. ” “ When do you go off? ” “ Around six- thirty usually.
uc1.b3815639	He said he was n't hungry any more; he doubted if she was either, and why not just heat up a can of soup and make a little salad?
uc1.b3815639	He was looking for Adler and — ” “ So what? ” Corbin cut in harshly, his tanned face shiny with perspiration.
uc1.b3815639	How can they?
uc1.b3815639	How long was she there? ” “ She says it was only a few minutes.
uc1.b3815639	How? ” “ The Connecticut police found a Conti Street address for Adler.
uc1.b3815639	I did n't have enough education to be much of a success in an office, so what was I?
uc1.b3815639	I had to find out the truth, did n't I?
uc1.b3815639	I knew the minute I walked in that it had been a mistake to come. ” “ What did he do? ” “ Nothing much.
uc1.b3815639	I mean the State's At- torney and those two detectives?
uc1.b3815639	I pushed him away and got out of there as fast as I could. ” “ That's all? ” “ I think it's more than enough. ” “ Okay, okay.
uc1.b3815639	I suppose you questioned him? ” “ Until two o'clock last night, ” Ball said.
uc1.b3815639	I think there's a good chance that we may be able to read the words on that insignia. ” “ It's possible, is n't it?
uc1.b3815639	I went to bed shortly after John left. ” “ You did n't hear him come in then? ” “ I sort of heard him.
uc1.b3815639	I'd try and talk him into coming back with me. ” “ Why should he? ” “ I do n't see that he has much choice.
uc1.b3815639	I'll call Johnson and see — ” “ Who's Johnson? ” “ A photographer.
uc1.b3815639	If I do n't take'em, who will?
uc1.b3815639	If she had not gone to see Adler, then where had she gone?
uc1.b3815639	If the trip had been an innocent one, why had she not admitted it?
uc1.b3815639	Is Ted with you? ” “ He ’s renting a car.
uc1.b3815639	Is he in some kind of trouble? ” “ Not any more. ” “ Someone stuck a knife in his back, ” Garvey said.
uc1.b3815639	Is n't there something I can do? ” “ How about making some drinks? ” he asked, giving words to the first thought that came to mind.
uc1.b3815639	Is n't there something I can do? ” “ How about making some drinks? ” he asked, giving words to the first thought that came to mind.
uc1.b3815639	It was Ted. ” “ How do you know it had n't been taken a long time ago? ” “ I just know.
uc1.b3815639	Let's leave it at that for tonight, hunh?
uc1.b3815639	MISSION OF FEAR “ What fellow? ” Hayden said, leaning toward the open window.
uc1.b3815639	May we come in? ” “ Certainly. ” Hayden stepped back and waved them to- ward the living room.
uc1.b3815639	New car? ” “ A rented one, Lee, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	Nosy too. ” “ Oh?
uc1.b3815639	Now how much could you raise —? ” “ To get the whole seventy- five thousand, ” Hayden cut in, “ I ’d have to sell out.
uc1.b3815639	Oh, why do I have to explain all the details? ” she cried, a break in her voice.
uc1.b3815639	Roger? ” Denham went back to his chair, his smile diffident as he considered the invitation.
uc1.b3815639	See that? ” He pointed at the photograph and her eyes followed his finger as he indicated the insignia on the coveralls Ted Corbin wore.
uc1.b3815639	She said she knew something that would help us. ” “ Did you tell the police? ” “ She says if I tell the police she'll deny everything.
uc1.b3815639	She's wondering if I killed him and how can I tell her I did n't P “ Stabbed? ” she said in a tone that matched the look on her face.
uc1.b3815639	So if we can do that, how can the baby be illegitimate? ” “ Are you sure? ” she said, hope touching her glance for the first time.
uc1.b3815639	So if we can do that, how can the baby be illegitimate? ” “ Are you sure? ” she said, hope touching her glance for the first time.
uc1.b3815639	So what should he do about Marion?
uc1.b3815639	Suppose I can get this picture blown up — ” “ Blown up? ” “ I can get it copied.
uc1.b3815639	That girl at the tavern, Doris Lamar — ” “ What about her? ” “ She came to see me this evening.
uc1.b3815639	Then what? ” “ I told him I did n't want one.

uc1.b3815639	What did he say? ” “ He said he was a friend of yours.
uc1.b3815639	What difference can it make to you?
uc1.b3815639	What the hell kind of a dame is that? ” he demanded of no one in particular.
uc1.b3815639	What time? ”-- 144 MISSION OF FEAR “ Five o'clock.
uc1.b3815639	Where are you going? ” he asked as Hayden came to his feet.
uc1.b3815639	Where's Corbin now? ” “ At the motel.
uc1.b3815639	Where? ” “ In Mobile.
uc1.b3815639	Who could have done it, John?
uc1.b3815639	Who? ” He had no chance to answer the question, and for this he was grateful because he was not ready for it.
uc1.b3815639	Why not simply: ‘ I should have killed him? ” Garvey coughed and the sound of it got their attention.
uc1.b3815639	Why not you? ” “ I was n't very levelheaded at the time, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	Why not? ” “ Marion can drop you off at the motel and you can register and stay in your room until I get in touch with you.
uc1.b3815639	Why should he use the word then?
uc1.b3815639	Why? ” “ It ’s your hypothesis, ” Hayden said coldly.
uc1.b3815639	Will you do something for me? ” She gave him a quick, suspicious glance before she said: “ What? ” “ Take a sleeping pill and get some rest.
uc1.b3815639	Will you do something for me? ” She gave him a quick, suspicious glance before she said: “ What? ” “ Take a sleeping pill and get some rest.
uc1.b3815639	Would he be home now? ” “ He should be, ” Cramer said.
uc1.b3815639	Would he be registered under that name? ” “ He ’s been using the name Cannon for the past couple of years, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	Would you like something first?
uc1.b3815639	You ai n't another one, are you? ” Hayden shook his head and tried to look bored.
uc1.b3815639	You know Lee Cramer at the filling station, do n't you? ” “ Know him well. ” “ He remembered Adler.
uc1.b3815639	You mean George?
uc1.b3815639	“ Adler? ” he said on a note of puzzlement.
uc1.b3815639	“ And what would you do if you did find him, John? ” “ Do?
uc1.b3815639	“ And what would you do if you did find him, John? ” “ Do?
uc1.b3815639	“ And work on that drink a little, will you? ” “ I do n’t want it. ” “ Pretend it's medicine.
uc1.b3815639	“ Are you alone? ” “ Yes, John.
uc1.b3815639	“ Are you sure you're all right? ” “ I am now. ” “ Do n’t you want to go into the bedroom and lie down for a while? ” “ I could n't.
uc1.b3815639	“ Are you sure you're all right? ” “ I am now. ” “ Do n’t you want to go into the bedroom and lie down for a while? ” “ I could n't.
uc1.b3815639	“ Are you surprised? ” she said.
uc1.b3815639	“ Can I offer you anything? ” “ No thanks, ” they said.
uc1.b3815639	“ Corbin? ” he said as though finding the word unfamil- iar.
uc1.b3815639	“ Could be. ” “ Do you know him? ” “ I might. ” 106 MISSION OF FEAR the original premise had been right: Corbin was alive.
uc1.b3815639	“ Could you call him, Lee?
uc1.b3815639	“ Could you give me a lift to the tavern, please?
uc1.b3815639	“ Did you actually talk with Lee Cramer's son- in- law? ” “ I talked with Lee, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	“ Did you hear what I said? ” “ I heard you. ” “ Well, say something.
uc1.b3815639	“ Did you rent this car in your own name? ” “ I had to, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	“ Do n’t you believe me? ” “ Certainly I believe you, ” he said, an edge in his voice he had not intended.
uc1.b3815639	“ Do they know you at the motel? ” “ No. ” “ I ’d like to use the rented car if you do n't mind. ” “ Sure.
uc1.b3815639	“ Do we get a car? ” “ We do. ” “ You or me? ” “ Have you got a credit card? ” Hayden watched the big man nod.
uc1.b3815639	“ Do we get a car? ” “ We do. ” “ You or me? ” “ Have you got a credit card? ” Hayden watched the big man nod.
uc1.b3815639	“ Do we get a car? ” “ We do. ” “ You or me? ” “ Have you got a credit card? ” Hayden watched the big man nod.
uc1.b3815639	“ Do you have a cigarette machine? ” “ In here. ” The man jerked his thumb and stepped aside.
uc1.b3815639	“ Fill it up? ” “ Please.
uc1.b3815639	“ Have you seen him since last night? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3815639	“ How about you? ” Denham came to his feet.
uc1.b3815639	“ How are you, Mr. Free- man?
uc1.b3815639	“ How big is Mobile? ” “ I do n't know.
uc1.b3815639	“ How can they think that? ” “ They say it belongs to that set we have in the kitchen.

uc1.b3815639	“ How do you mean? ” “ That seventy- five thousand was paid to my wife in good faith and she accepted it in good faith.
uc1.b3815639	“ How much, Jerry? ” he asked when the drink was served.
uc1.b3815639	“ I asked him if he ran into a door and he said no. ” “ Who ’s the fellow Doris mentioned? ” “ Never saw him before.

uc1.b3815639	“ I may have been. ” 72 MISSION OF FEAR “ With Adler? ” “ Does it make any difference? ” she said, still watching him.
uc1.b3815639	“ I mean that Sam Adler could make a proposition I would accept?
uc1.b3815639	“ If you have to have a name, John will do. ” “ What do you want? ” “ I came to have a look around.
uc1.b3815639	“ It was me, was n't it? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3815639	“ May I see your driver's license and some identification?
uc1.b3815639	“ Milk, I guess. ” “ And a cooky? ” “ No cooky. ” “ I ’ll bring it in to you, ” he said and turned away.
uc1.b3815639	“ Now all you have to do is drive. ” “ Do you happen to have any kind of map of the city? ” The man said he had.
uc1.b3815639	“ Oh — is that the man you're talking about? ” she said with just the right emphasis.
uc1.b3815639	“ Okay, so what do you want from us? ” Before Erickson could reply, Simpson spoke up.
uc1.b3815639	“ One little snapshot is n't enough. ” “ He also showed me some fingerprints. ” “ What? ” He peered at her.
uc1.b3815639	“ Phone call? ” “ Adler did call, did n't he? ” The lashes dipped to obscure her eyes as she hesitated.
uc1.b3815639	“ Phone call? ” “ Adler did call, did n't he? ” The lashes dipped to obscure her eyes as she hesitated.
uc1.b3815639	“ Ready, Mr. Corbin?

uc1.b3815639	“ Say, did that fellow find your place all right yesterday afternoon? ” 4.
uc1.b3815639	“ See that insignia?
uc1.b3815639	“ Suppose there was some way they could force me to pay up in full? ” Denham pushed away from the mantelpiece.
uc1.b3815639	“ That was a good hunch, Mr. Hayden. ” “ He remembers him? ” “ Just like you described him.
uc1.b3815639	“ The police came to see us last night too. ” “ You mean you and your wife?
uc1.b3815639	“ There you are, sir. ” “ How do I get out of here? ” Hayden said and reached for a coin.
uc1.b3815639	“ To Mobile?
uc1.b3815639	“ Was that the usual thing for you at that time of the evening? ” Garvey asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ Were you going somewhere, Doris? ” He was aware that she was looking at him.
uc1.b3815639	“ What about him?
uc1.b3815639	“ What about him? ” “ I ’m going to look for him. ” “ For Ted?
uc1.b3815639	“ What about him? ” “ I ’m going to look for him. ” “ For Ted?
uc1.b3815639	“ What about the phone call? ” he asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ What are you thinking about? ” “ Him. ” He touched the picture.
uc1.b3815639	“ What did Roger say? ” he asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ What did he want, Mrs. Hayden? ” Ball continued.
uc1.b3815639	“ What did you tell her? ” “ I told her she'd have to wait until you came home. ” “ Good girl, ” he said.
uc1.b3815639	“ What do you put in? ” Hayden asked, pleased to see that the insignia on the coveralls was identical with the one in the snapshot.
uc1.b3815639	“ What does a guy say at a time like this? ” he asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ What fingerprints? ” “ He had a picture of the fingerprints of one hand, a photograph.
uc1.b3815639	“ What happened? ” “ Nothing.
uc1.b3815639	“ What kind of books, Mrs. Hayden? ” Ball asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ What the devil are you talking about?
uc1.b3815639	“ What the hell have you been doing? ” “ Ducking a cop, ” Corbin said calmly.
uc1.b3815639	“ What the hell was that? ” he asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ What's funny? ” Hayden said, proud of his wife's re- sponse and hoping to take the pressure off of her.
uc1.b3815639	“ What's the matter with the boy friend? ” “ Scotch and water and another daiquiri, Jerry, ” she said before she acknowledged the question.
uc1.b3815639	“ What's the matter? ” she asked anxiously.
uc1.b3815639	“ What? ” It took him a moment to reply because he had to be careful not only of what he said but how he sounded.
uc1.b3815639	“ Who are you? ” “ I was about to ask the same question, ” Hayden said.
uc1.b3815639	“ Why should he say it that way?
uc1.b3815639	“ Yeah? ” He listened then and Hayden could see the quick frown and the growing uncertainty in the blue eyes.
uc1.b3815639	“ You a friend of Sam's? ” she added with some suspicion.
uc1.b3815639	“ You admit being here that night, Mr. Corbin? ” “ I guess I have to, ” Corbin said.
uc1.b3815639	“ You do n't know him? ” Ball asked.
uc1.b3815639	“ You got a key? ” The gesture got the man's attention.
uc1.b3815639	“ You mean this dame knew about this all the time and would n't tell the police?
uc1.b3815639	“ You mean you'd go now? ” “ Tonight, if I can get out. ” “ But — what about the police?

uc1.b3815639	“ You were wonderful. ” “ Was I, John? ” She glanced up at him, the hazel eyes softly shining.
uc1.b3815639	“ You ’re sure of this? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	- “ Do you think that Helen knows — about me? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	- “ Well, what do you know about Hugh Bowden? ” “ I knew enough to dislike him intensely, ” I answered.
uc1.31210009697069	- “ What's between Martin and Selma and you? ” I asked him, bluntly.
uc1.31210009697069	- “ Will you excuse me, Miss Jefferson? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	. ” “ And now what —? ” I asked, as quietly as I could, hoping to comfort her by a show of calmness.
uc1.31210009697069	. ” “ And what else do you admit? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	. ” “ Did Bowden know about it? ” I demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	. ” “ What do you mean? ” I asked quickly.
uc1.31210009697069	. ” “ What is it, my dear? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	. ” “ You know why he did that, Sir James? ” Henry Jefferson interrupted.
uc1.31210009697069	148 MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT “ Are you a coward, as well as a brute, Martin? ” she cried.
uc1.31210009697069	166 MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT Do you want me to come upstairs with you? ” “ No, thank you.
uc1.31210009697069	224 MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT “ What do you want that for, Farmer? ” Bannister called.
uc1.31210009697069	22O MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT “ Have — have you? ” he answered, and stared out of the window.

uc1.31210009697069	Again there came to me the idea which had obsessed me when I talked 244 MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT “ So she was afraid? ” he murmured.
uc1.31210009697069	Am I right so far? ” It was Selma who replied to him.
uc1.31210009697069	And what is it that has come over Orme and Martin? ” “ What has come over them? ” said I.
uc1.31210009697069	And what is it that has come over Orme and Martin? ” “ What has come over them? ” said I.
uc1.31210009697069	And what was the end?
uc1.31210009697069	And who brought the conversation to an end? ” I had to give some thought to this.
uc1.31210009697069	And you'll be my friend — whatever happens? ” Her voice broke, and 32 MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT she came close to me.
uc1.31210009697069	And, if so, fear of what?
uc1.31210009697069	Ban- nister — India — Selma P Was there any connection?
uc1.31210009697069	Bowden sleeps up there, does n't he, father? ” “ Yes, ” Henry Jefferson answered.
uc1.31210009697069	But how did Mr. Bowden come into it?
uc1.31210009697069	Ca n't you believe that I shall keep your secret safe? ” “ But I did n't do it! ” he thundered, fear making him raise his voice.
uc1.31210009697069	Can you look into my eyes, Martin, and tell me that you have forgotten?
uc1.31210009697069	Can you name one? ” I shook my head.
uc1.31210009697069	Could it have been her hand that drove the knife into Bow- den's heart?
uc1.31210009697069	Did Martin order you not to take me into your confidence? ” “ I ca n't tell you, ” he whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	Did my experiment have on you the effect I hoped it would?
uc1.31210009697069	Did you do so, and if you did was there anything strange about her? ” “ She seemed to be a- a little breathless, ” I said.
uc1.31210009697069	Did you feel that this was the real thing taking place again? ” “ Great God! ” Orme muttered.
uc1.31210009697069	Did you hear her at any time of the night leave it and pass along the corridor? ’ ’ “ I heard something, ” Helen admitted.
uc1.31210009697069	Did you know that Mr. Forrester quarrelled with Bowden last night? ” Her eyes leapt up to my face — fearfully, ques- tioningly.
uc1.31210009697069	Did you notice the light go out at any time, and then go up again? ” “ No, ” said I.
uc1.31210009697069	Do you remember? ” “ I shall never forget it, ” I said.
uc1.31210009697069	Do you think it was done by one of us?
uc1.31210009697069	Do you think that he's playing fair with her?
uc1.31210009697069	For something to say, I asked: “ Where's Muhamed?
uc1.31210009697069	Had she found that courage in herself?
uc1.31210009697069	Had you any reason to believe that there was to be a tragedy in this house? ” I started half out of my chair, and then sank slowly back into it.
uc1.31210009697069	Had you any thought last night that Bowden might be killed?
uc1.31210009697069	Have you ever killed a man yourself? ” “ Why, yes, ” Bannister answered, easily.
uc1.31210009697069	He often fulfills my commissions in a day or two. ” “ Well, why do n't you arrest me? ” Bannister asked, leaning carelessly back in his chair.
uc1.31210009697069	I could not give Selma any protection by doing so — and what was Selma to me, or I to her?
uc1.31210009697069	I said abruptly to Martin Greig: “ Where does Muhamed sleep? ” “ On the top floor, ” he answered, after a second.
uc1.31210009697069	I was almost asleep. ” “ So you had no thought of going down the carriage- drive until after you went to bed? ” he fired at her.
uc1.31210009697069	I wonder who he is?
uc1.31210009697069	I wonder — oh, I ca n't think that l ” “ Think what? ” said I.
uc1.31210009697069	I — I hope I did n't wake you? ” “ No, ” said I, rather gruffly.
uc1.31210009697069	I ’d be interested to know exactly what he's been doing since we saw him last. ” “ Do you suspect him? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	IO MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT My mental perturbation must have shown on the surface, for Orme said abruptly: “ What's the matter, Davy?
uc1.31210009697069	If what you did was ab- solutely innocent in motive, would n't it be better if you told me the whole truth at once?
uc1.31210009697069	Is father afraid of Bowden?
uc1.31210009697069	Is it — is it Martin? ” There was a suggestion of Martin Greig's height and bulk in the shadow, but I could not be sure that it was made by him.

uc1.31210009697069	MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT 125 “ What do you want, Davy? ” he asked, with a kind of desperate defiance.
uc1.31210009697069	MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT 71 “ What's the matter? ” I asked, in a changed tone.
uc1.31210009697069	My dear girl, do n't you know there's nothing I would n't do for you? ” “ Oh, yes, ” she sobbed.
uc1.31210009697069	MystERY OF NORMAN's COURT 87 “ How long has he been dead, Bannister? ” Jeffer- son asked.

uc1.31210009697069	Selma screamed again, and Martin shouted: “ What ’s that? ” I picked myself up and Sir Ambrose pulled the curtains aside.
uc1.31210009697069	Shall we change the subject? ” “ I should n't if I were you, ” Bowden said.
uc1.31210009697069	Shall we join them? ” Selma and Helen greeted us with a storm of ques- tions when we appeared, but we refused to satisfy their curiosity.
uc1.31210009697069	She lay back in it, with her MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT 85 “ What do you think about it, Bannister? ” Sir Ambrose asked.
uc1.31210009697069	Suppose it was he who had cut the telephone- wire — if, indeed, the telephone- wire had been cut — as a preliminary to murdering Bowden?
uc1.31210009697069	Surely not Miss Fairburn? ” I said.
uc1.31210009697069	The rest of us remained in the dining- room, and talked for a good half- hour longer. ” “ About murder? ” “ Yes, ” I said.
uc1.31210009697069	The same thought was in each of our minds: what could we do with them?
uc1.31210009697069	They were the only two, so far as I remember. ” “ And why did n't they go? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	We were silent for an instant after that; and then Bannister said abruptly: “ Where's Jefferson?
uc1.31210009697069	What had Selma meant?
uc1.31210009697069	What right had I to construe that which I had overheard between him and Selma into a removal of the barrier which kept me from Helen?
uc1.31210009697069	What was it that bound him to Selma P Was it fear?
uc1.31210009697069	What was this? ” I hesitated, he regarded me keenly.
uc1.31210009697069	What would I find here?
uc1.31210009697069	When Miss Fairburn returned, did anything else occur? ” “ She and Miss Jefferson left us and went into the drawing- room.
uc1.31210009697069	Where had you been when we saw you coming into the house just now? ” “ In the garden, ” said Muhamed.
uc1.31210009697069	Where were you at eight o'clock last night? ”- “ I was in the sunken garden with Mr. Forrester, ” she answered.
uc1.31210009697069	Why do n't you confide in me, and tell me what it is all about?
uc1.31210009697069	Why was it that Helen had called across thousands of miles for me to come to her aid?
uc1.31210009697069	Why what are you talking about, Mr. Forrester? ” “ My dear Miss Fairburn! ” I exclaimed, a little angrily.
uc1.31210009697069	Will you fetch it? ” I nodded, and went to obey.
uc1.31210009697069	Wo n't you come and give us a new one? ” He hesitated, and then came slowly across the lawn towards us.
uc1.31210009697069	You reiterate that? ” “ Yes, ” she said firmly.
uc1.31210009697069	You were worried and nervous perhaps? ” “ Yes, ” I answered with thought.
uc1.31210009697069	You're Mr. Forrester, are n't you? ” He began to question me.
uc1.31210009697069	You're a free agent, are n't you? ” It was a bold thing for me to say in the circum- stances and I paid the penalty for it.

uc1.31210009697069	“ A slinking shadow, Forrester?
uc1.31210009697069	“ About you and Orme? ” “ Of course I do, ” he answered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Am I forced to answer that question? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ And I suppose you told that to the Superinten- dent? ” Orme burst out.
uc1.31210009697069	“ And most of them know that I had a stronger motive than the rest for doing the killing. ” “ Does the Superintendent know that? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ And so she ac- cused you of murdering Bowden? ” “ Oh, I did n't mean it! ” Selma cried.
uc1.31210009697069	“ And that thing is what? ” Martin asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ And — I'm so sorry. ” “ Why are you sorry? ” I had demanded, gruffly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Anything — else? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Are you certain of that? ” “ Why, ” I exclaimed, “ their friendship has become almost a tradition in Cairo. ” She turned away from me.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Are you feeling easier about things now, Helen? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Are you hungry and thirsty? ” “ Rushing about in the sun all the afternoon makes a man that, ” said Bowden.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Are you the master here? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ But has this got anything to do with the matter? ” sº He straightened out the cable on the table, and read it over to himself.
uc1.31210009697069	“ But it would n't have been likely. ” “ Surely Mr. Greig was anxious to have the wed- ding during this leave of his? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ But surely you can at any time, Miss Fairburn?
uc1.31210009697069	“ But we can see beyond that. ” “ The police will detain him until they are quite sure that he is n't the man they want, I suppose? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ But what do you think about it?
uc1.31210009697069	“ But you do n't like it? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ But you must have been in the room next door? ” the constable persisted.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Can you tell me this? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Could n't Bannister go to them now? ” I asked Sir Ambrose.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did Miss Fairburn go direct to her room? ” “ So far as I know. ” “ Her room is next to yours.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did Mr. Greig say anything to you? ” “ Yes.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did any of you notice that he did n't swear to the truth of what he told us? ” Bannister asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did he go on the later train? ” “ No, sir, he must still be in bed, ” the butler answered, and he was plainly agitated.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did n't that occur to you, Mr. For- rester? ” “ I did n't think much about it, ” I said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did she write that? ” “ Yes, ” I answered.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Did you see Bowden when you left the dining- room last night? ” “ No, ” she moaned.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Did you stop here last night? ” “ No.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Did you? ” he said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Do n’t you realise, Selma, ” he asked, quietly, “ that I am engaged to marry Helen? ” She laughed, in a low- toned, bitter note.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Do n’t you think all this is rather indecent, Selma? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Do you admit that you hated him yourself, Ban- nister? ” Martin asked.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Do you want to clear your conscience of anything else? ” he asked, with a slight grim smile.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Do you? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Does her ex- planation involve her in any way? ” “ No- no! ” he said savagely.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Does it matter? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Does it mean that you were wrong in Cairo? ” she whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Eight hours, you think, Bannister? ” Jefferson said.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Have a night- cap? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Have all the others gone up? ” he asked.

uc1.31210009697069	“ He was not present when you gave it. ” “ Where were you, then? ” Sir Ambrose demanded of Muhamed.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Honest? ” Sir Ambrose queried.
uc1.31210009697069	“ How can anybody be accused?
uc1.31210009697069	“ How can one make up one's mind to anything in connection with the case? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ How did you know that? ” I demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I dare say you could tell a thing or two about Bowden's death. ” “ Who knows? ” Bannister murmured, without perturbation.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I did n't kill Bowden l ’ ” “ Did n't you, Greig? ” came Sir Ambrose Row- land's quiet voice.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I did n't think any one would be up at this time. ” “ No? ” said Sir James.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I did. ” “ But did you remember anything? ” Sir James demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I forgot about it. ” “ Forgot? ” Sir Ambrose echoed, with the slightest hint of incredulity in his tone.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I hope you slept well, Miss Fairburn? ” I could not help saying, as I took my place at the table.
uc1.31210009697069	“ I suppose they've tapped the panelling? ” I asked.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Is that Miss Jefferson's writing? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is that a fact, Greig? ” “ Yes — yes, I think it is, ” Greig answered, and there was a growling note in his voice.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is that right? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is that right? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is that so? ” he answered at once, without giv- ing any indication of how the accusation effected him.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is that the fellow who's going to question us? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is the light still on? ” I whispered to Orme, next to whom I stood.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is there another bolt? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is there any reason why I should n't go up to my room? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is there anything else I ought to do at this stage? ” Sir Ambrose nodded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Is this room exactly the same as it was on that morning?
uc1.31210009697069	“ It did seem silly, did n't it? ” she said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ It was n't Helen? ” “ I tell you it was 1 ” he roared at me.
uc1.31210009697069	“ It was then that you saw the shadow which Mr. Jefferson told me about? ” MYSTERY OF NORMAN'S COURT 191 She nodded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ No one remembered anything? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ No? ” he queried, and made a few more notes in his book.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Of course I do. ” “ You do? ” he murmured.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Oh – it's you, is it? ” he said, after staring at me for a second, and I was certain that my sudden appearance had scared him.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Oh — I wonder what's the matter? ” Helen whis- pered, when the sound of the footsteps had grown faint.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Oh, who is it? ” she whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ On the landing at three o'clock in the morning?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Or that Miss Helen Jefferson did it? ” “ I'm afraid that you ca n't catch me twice like that, Superintendent, ” I said, and smiled at him.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Perhaps you remember me? ” “ Perfectly, Superintendent, ” Sir Ambrose an- swered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Sir James has asked you for the truth about the carriage- drive incident? ” I queried.
uc1.31210009697069	“ So it's possible that Bowden may know some- thing disreputable about father? ” she said, when I paused.
uc1.31210009697069	“ So you admit it? ” I said, in a little while.
uc1.31210009697069	“ So you are Miss Helen Jefferson? ” said Redarrel.
uc1.31210009697069	“ So you were afraid of him? ” he said, quickly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ So you wo n't tell me, Davy? ” she said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ So you'd do that, would you? ” he said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Surely you did n't bring Mr. Forrester thousands of miles merely because you had this vague feeling — as you call it?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Surely you do n't deny it? ” “ Of course I do, ” she said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Surely you do n't deny that Nature is always right? ” “ But civilization has been super- imposed upon Nature, ” Sir Ambrose answered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Surely you're not going to defend the worst of human crimes? ” “ Not at all, ” Sir Ambrose answered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Taking a walk? ” “ I was looking for Muhamed, ” he said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Tell me, Miss Fairburn, ” the constable said, “ where were you when that thud was heard? ” There was a tense, expectant silence.
uc1.31210009697069	“ That night in the garden?
uc1.31210009697069	“ That was shortly after nine o'clock, was n't it?
uc1.31210009697069	“ The constable does n't want to speak to me now? ” she whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ The mud on those slippers does n't prove anything. ” “ Who said that I was trying to prove anything? ” he demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ The usual household duties have not been carried out this morning, I suppose? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Then I expect you can get along? ” said Greig, quickly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ There are some others in the house, Mr. Jefferson? ” “ Yes, ” Jefferson answered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ There may be finger- prints about. ” We nodded; and Orme suddenly said: “ But how can it be murder?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Too late? ” I whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Understand — what? ” she asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Was it you who put that note under his door? ” he demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Was n't it his custom to lock his bedroom door at night? ” Sir Ambrose enquired.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Well, ” Bannister asked, “ have you carried out your threat? ” “ I have just come from the Superintendent, ” I answered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Well? ” I Said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Well? ” I retorted.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Well? ” he asked, defiantly.

uc1.31210009697069	“ Well? ” he demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Were you wrong, too? ” I asked softly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What about a few rounds of poker? ” Henry Jefferson asked, when only men were in the room.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What are you doing out here? ” I demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What are you two fellows doing here? ” “ We were just testing a theory of how Bowden was killed, ” Bannister answered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What boat did you come on? ” was his next question.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What did you do when you entered the house? ” he enquired.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What did you see? ” the constable demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What do I mean? ” I muttered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What do you mean by that? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What do you mean by that? ” she asked.

uc1.31210009697069	“ What exactly do you mean by that, Bannister? ” “ Nothing at all, ” Bannister answered; but he smiled at him in an odd way.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What has happened to Muhamed? ” Helen asked at Once.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What is it, Helen? ” said I.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What is it, Sir Ambrose? ” Jefferson asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What is the matter? ” she asked, steadily.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What is this business about the low and the high chairs? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What made you ask me that, Helen? ” said I.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What made you come down here? ” Sir Ambrose persisted.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What made you come to England? ” he de- manded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What made you tell me that? ” “ You ’ve asked me to be frank, ” I countered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What on earth's that?
uc1.31210009697069	“ What shall I do?
uc1.31210009697069	“ What the devil are you getting at? ” Bannister demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What was it that made you worried and nervous, Mr. Forrester?
uc1.31210009697069	“ What was that, Miss Jefferson?
uc1.31210009697069	“ What was the subject of this conversation? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What were they doing? ” asked Redarrel.

uc1.31210009697069	“ What were you doing with that stick? ” “ I do n't think it's any concern of yours, ” he re- torted.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What's all this? ” Jefferson asked, looking hard at Bannister and me.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What's the game? ” I asked, leaving my door and going towards him.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What's the joke? ” I growled.
uc1.31210009697069	“ What's your view of it, Sir Ambrose? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where did you go? ” the constable demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where have you been, Muhamed? ” he de- manded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where is Mr. Jefferson? ” the Superintendent asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where is the constable? ” “ He went upstairs with father.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where was I? ” she said slowly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where's the bolt? ” Sir Ambrose demanded, without looking at him.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Where's the chauffeur? ” Jefferson demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Which of you gentleman is Mr. Jefferson? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who is that? ” she whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who said that you did? ” I almost leapt out of my chair.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who started that conversation? ” I cast my mind back to the previous night — which seemed to be years distant.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who was it? ” Sir Ambrose asked, and his calm, reflective eyes searched my face steadily.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who was the last person you saw last night? ” the Superintendent demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who's envelope is it? ” said Orme.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Who's that? ” I demanded, in a low voice.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why did Bowden lock himself in like this? ” Orme asked suddenly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why did n't he answer — whoever he was? ” she asked, nervously.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why did n't you knock? ” Martin demanded, roughly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why did you send for me? ” “ Oh, Davy, ” she said again.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do n't you and Miss Fairburn go into the drawing- room, Helen? ” Sir Ambrose asked kindly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do n't you be frank and tell me what you were doing here?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do n't you make a clean breast of it to me, Orme? ” “ Because it's nothing to do with you.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do n't you tell what it is, Helen? ” I cried.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do you rush about in the sun, Bowden, if you do n't like it? ” he demanded.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do you think I know about your father's affairs? ” I asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why do you want to know? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why is he creeping about like that?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why not come into the drawing- room, Helen, and sit down? ” She turned her eyes from my face to his, and her hand slid out of mine.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why should I make excuses to you?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why? ” Redarrel asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Why? ” she asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you come with me, Bannister? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you do what you can, For- rester?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you excuse me? ” she asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you go into the ladies now, Doctor? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you see that the butler is doing what I told him to do? ” he asked Sir Ambrose.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you send for them? ” Jefferson rang the bell.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you sit down, Miss Jefferson? ” he said, indicating the chair which I had just vacated.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Will you take us to the scene of the crime, Mr. Jefferson?
uc1.31210009697069	“ Wo n't you sit down again? ” Sir Ambrose obeyed, but we others remained standing.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Would you have said all that if you'd found some one else here instead of me? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Would you mind closing the door? ” He was seated at a table in the middle of the room.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Yes. ” “ What time did you go to bed? ” “ It was about one o'clock. ” “ Your room is next to Bowden's.
uc1.31210009697069	“ Yes? ” she said.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You are remembering the last occasion on which you saw this chair filled, Mr. Forrester? ” “ Yes, ” I admitted.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You ca n't tell us that in your heart of hearts you are sincere in what you say? ” “ I do tell you that, ” he retorted.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You can say that — to me, Martin?
uc1.31210009697069	“ You do n't doubt it, do you? ” “ I do n't know, ” she whispered.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You have already eliminated one of us? ” I asked, harking back to what he said to Bannister.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You know most of the people in this house, do n't you, Mr. Forrester? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You mean, they did not show antipathy to committing murder? ” “ Yes, that's what I mean, ” said Orme.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You say that you had no tangible reason for calling Mr. Forrester from Egypt? ” the Coroner asked her, gently.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You took dinner in the dining- room last night with the other people in the house? ” the constable asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You were one of the party playing cards last night? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You were talking about the ethics of murder? ” said he presently.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You would like to question me? ” Jefferson asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You ’re certain? ” he asked quietly.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You ’re curious about that point, Sir James? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You ’re suggesting that Miss Jefferson did not speak the truth? ” I asked hotly, before any one else spoke.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You ’ve got the key of the room, Farmer? ” he asked.
uc1.31210009697069	“ You're all right now? ” I asked.

osu.32435018154534	How is it with the rest? ” “ I, too. ” “ And I. ” The responses came almost simultaneously from Baynes and Nichols.

osu.32435018154534	I have instructions not to bother him if the case is a trivial one — ” “ Trivial? ” came the softer voice, sobbing now.
osu.32435018154534	I only hope his patient has n’t died upon his hands. ” “ But Henry was n’t to report, do n’t you remember? ” Cliff intervened.
osu.32435018154534	I passed that closed door at the head of the stairs — you know? ” She addressed Lucian, who nodded affirma- tively.

osu.32435018154534	It was this! ” “ What is it? ” Cliff hastily backed away.
osu.32435018154534	It's the old lady principally whom we want to get a line on, and Scaynes and the butler. ” “ The butler? ” she echoed.

osu.32435018154534	Just wait till I tell you — ” “ Then Mrs. Punderford knows where he has gone? ” Rex asked.
osu.32435018154534	Lord A'mighty, I left enough of you on guard here while I ran up to look at my two patients — ” “ ‘ Ran up? ’ ” Phil repeated disgustedly.
osu.32435018154534	Lucian, had n't Ethel better be getting back to her post? ” “ Yes.

osu.32435018154534	Punderford told you of us? ” Punderford drank deeply and sighed with relief as his flaccid head sank back among the pillows.
osu.32435018154534	Punderford, do you realize what this means? ” Rex retained the letter in a firm grasp.
osu.32435018154534	Punderford, how many of those pink and black pearls were there originally? ” “ Well, really, I never counted them. ” She paused.
osu.32435018154534	Punderford?

osu.32435018154534	That misty glow seemed to stay for a minute after they winked out an ’ it was then that I saw them hands. ” “ Just the hands?
osu.32435018154534	That was when I passed out. ” “ Those spots — were they close together or spread out? ” “ Close.
osu.32435018154534	The attempt at robbery failed. ” “ Suppose you tell us as nearly as you remember the events of last Sunday night?
osu.32435018154534	The combination is 3- 46- 18- 6- 25. ”- “ The old chap made it complicated enough, did n’t he? ” remarked Lucian.
osu.32435018154534	The house dick is watching me like a lynx. ” “ Has he got anything on you? ” his host demanded sternly.
osu.32435018154534	The work here has been slow until this morning, but do you like it? ” “ Like it?
osu.32435018154534	The work here has been slow until this morning, but do you like it? ” “ Like it?
osu.32435018154534	Then she added in a suddenly dejected tone: “ Did n’t I do it right this morning, Mr. Powell?
osu.32435018154534	They attend to such things usually, do they not? ” The self- styled Adept replied vaguely and passed a slim hand across his high white brow.
osu.32435018154534	They'll be all right, though. ” “ Then suppose we all go back to the office now and talk it over? ” suggested Rex.
osu.32435018154534	Those three bright spots —! ” HANDS IN DARKNESS 119 “ What three bright spots? ” Henry demanded.
osu.32435018154534	To keep my hand in?
osu.32435018154534	Too many cushions and roses and low lights and too much perfume?
osu.32435018154534	Was he caught in that merger too, last month? ” “ He sure was!
osu.32435018154534	Was he in league with you, too? ” She turned fiercely on Phil, who shook his head smil- ingly.
osu.32435018154534	Was he one man against not six others, but against that sleeping giant of a nation?
osu.32435018154534	Was it not? ” Her keen eyes had dimmed but they were fastened on his face as if hypnotized and she nodded dumbly.
osu.32435018154534	Was that why she was so anxious for us not to get a peep into that safe until she had had a chance to go over it alone first? ” Rex shook his head.
osu.32435018154534	We'll have to scratch him — What's next? ” “ Do you feel in a psychic mood? ” Lucian inquired.
osu.32435018154534	We'll have to scratch him — What's next? ” “ Do you feel in a psychic mood? ” Lucian inquired.
osu.32435018154534	We'll pick him up at the Sand- ringham; been there lately? ” “ Not in years. ” Rex's tone was absent and musing.
osu.32435018154534	We've got to keep him until we can make him come across and tell us who it was. ” “ Why not let him lead us to the man? ” Rex asked quietly.
osu.32435018154534	What about the locks, Ethel? ” “ That house would be safe in a raid! ” Her tone was awestruck.
osu.32435018154534	What are the numbers? ” “ If you can find a kid that can do that stunt, lead me to him and I'll have him working for me.
osu.32435018154534	What are you buttin ’ in on it for, any- way?
osu.32435018154534	What are you going to do with me?
osu.32435018154534	What could have brought this woman from a swell apartment house to the most notorious part of the slums and kept her waiting here through the night?
osu.32435018154534	What did the rest of you find out? ” “ Suppose we sum it up? ” Rex suggested.
osu.32435018154534	What did the rest of you find out? ” “ Suppose we sum it up? ” Rex suggested.
osu.32435018154534	What did you do all this for me for? ” Henry laughed.
osu.32435018154534	What do you suppose killed that chap they found in there? ” “ We will know when the police come. ” George turned toward the door.
osu.32435018154534	What do you suppose that guy done to me anyway?
osu.32435018154534	What do you think, Cliff?—Hello, where did Cliff go to? ” “ To interrogate Ethel, I suppose, ” Lucian responded ab- sently.
osu.32435018154534	What do you want me to do? ” “ Go after Leacraft; buy stock from him or find out what clubs he belongs to and have some one put you up.
osu.32435018154534	What does it mean?'
osu.32435018154534	What has become of the treasure, the greatest that history has known?
osu.32435018154534	What if I were to remind your husband of something else, some- thing that was taken from the safe whether you were aware of its presence there or not?
osu.32435018154534	What if she had never intended to go down Fifth Avenue at all, but from the first had made for this rendez- vous?
osu.32435018154534	What in hell ’s it all mean? ” “ You ’ve been kind of sick, kid, that's all.
osu.32435018154534	What in the world —?
osu.32435018154534	What is this little proposition which our reverend friend mentioned to me? ” Powell shook his head.
osu.32435018154534	What kind of a crazy house have we gotten into, anyway? ” “ Could Henry have —? ” George turned to Rex.
osu.32435018154534	What kind of a crazy house have we gotten into, anyway? ” “ Could Henry have —? ” George turned to Rex.
osu.32435018154534	What luck? ” the latter asked absentmindedly and bent again above his magnifying glass.
osu.32435018154534	What more do you want? ” “ But she is so young, and — and inexpressibly vulgar!
osu.32435018154534	What should he do?
osu.32435018154534	What you have to do? ” “ I have my instructions, ” Ethel answered primly.
osu.32435018154534	What ’s he think he can do, blindfold and muzzle us and tie our hands behind our backs and then expect us to get him out of his trouble?
osu.32435018154534	What's fairer than that?
osu.32435018154534	What's the game?
osu.32435018154534	What's your trouble? ” “ N- nothing. ” Scaynes'teeth chattered as he spoke.
osu.32435018154534	When do I go? ” “ To- morrow morning, ” Lucian answered now.
osu.32435018154534	Where did you get that stuff? ” Henry persisted.
osu.32435018154534	Where have you cachéd it? ” “ In savings banks all over the city, ” faltered Mickens.
osu.32435018154534	Where in the world was she?
osu.32435018154534	Where is he? ” “ Right here in this hotel. ” George rose, as the waiter approached with the coffee.
osu.32435018154534	Where were you, for the love of Mike, when that stunt was pulled off? ” They explained, and Phil listened thoughtfully.
osu.32435018154534	Who are these — gentlemen? ” FACE TO FACE 199 The pause before the last word was pregnant with studied insult but Lucian rose with a smile.
osu.32435018154534	Who did it?
osu.32435018154534	Who found me?
osu.32435018154534	Who is my neighbor on my right? ” “ Lucian.
osu.32435018154534	Who is the thief?
osu.32435018154534	Who shall say what influence temporarily snapped that thread?
osu.32435018154534	Whom do we ask for when we come? ” “ Find the number and walk in.
osu.32435018154534	Why did n’t they send for the bulls?
osu.32435018154534	Why had n’t she remembered the name?
osu.32435018154534	Why have n’t we thought of him before?
osu.32435018154534	Why not on the driver's seat of his own taxi?
osu.32435018154534	Why should any one wish to poison me?
osu.32435018154534	Why, you could almost put them in a pipel ” “ What do you mean?
osu.32435018154534	Will he be able to withstand a shock? ” “ He has had a few this week so far and I guess one more wo n’t hurt him.
osu.32435018154534	Will that satisfy your scruples? ” “ Majority, with six of us? ” George asked slowly.
osu.32435018154534	Will that satisfy your scruples? ” “ Majority, with six of us? ” George asked slowly.
osu.32435018154534	Will you please tell your husband that we shall call for him on Fri- day morning with a car?
osu.32435018154534	Will you tell us your first name, please? ” “ Luella.—But Mr. Scaynes? ” Mrs. Punderford queried.
osu.32435018154534	Will you tell us your first name, please? ” “ Luella.—But Mr. Scaynes? ” Mrs. Punderford queried.
osu.32435018154534	Wonder what's in the wind? ” Cliff shrugged.
osu.32435018154534	Would he bring his taxi at once to the Fitzroy- Lennox?
osu.32435018154534	Would his story be believed or had it really been a frame- up, after all?
osu.32435018154534	Would you care for a receipt for them? ” “ Oh, no! ” She made a gesture of repulsion.
osu.32435018154534	You are assuming a great deal, are n’t you, doctor?
osu.32435018154534	You are old friends too, then, Mr. Scaynes? ” “ We have known each other for centuries, aeons!
osu.32435018154534	You did n’t think we were holding a wake down here, did you?
osu.32435018154534	You do n’t mean to say that you go in for that sort of rot, do you? ” “ Now and then, purely as a bystander.
osu.32435018154534	You had n’t anything definite in mind, had you? ” “ No.
osu.32435018154534	You know who is speaking?
osu.32435018154534	You know why you are here, of course, Miss Jepson?
osu.32435018154534	You remained in the dining- room, did you not, with Miss Punderford? ” The young man nodded.
osu.32435018154534	You say his face appeared before you; how close was it?
osu.32435018154534	You think then that it would be safe to bring him down to the office by — say — the day after to- morrow, Fri- day?
osu.32435018154534	You're in Pink- Eye Mike's, if you want to know. ” “ Pink- Eye —?
osu.32435018154534	“ All over? ” Scaynes peered into the studio cautiously then strode in and seated himself astride a chair.
osu.32435018154534	“ Any news? ” Cliff looked up eagerly.
osu.32435018154534	“ Are these not pink and black pearls? ” he asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Are we going to move into a hall, Mr. Powell? ”...-- “ Not precisely.
osu.32435018154534	“ Are you going to be the first of us to welch?
osu.32435018154534	“ Are you there, Ethel?
osu.32435018154534	“ Are you wanted anywhere, George?
osu.32435018154534	“ Are you — er — smok- ing anything stronger than Havana tobacco these days, dear friend? ” “ Exactly, ” Powell resumed.
osu.32435018154534	“ But can we absolutely rely on her discretion?
osu.32435018154534	“ But how can that possibly be arranged, Mr. Powell?
osu.32435018154534	“ But is n’t there sort of too much about everything?
osu.32435018154534	“ But suppose we talk business?
osu.32435018154534	“ But to make it profitable, to become the head of your profession, you had to learn the real from the spurious, did n’t you?
osu.32435018154534	“ But what are you driving at, Rex? ” “ You, Henry. ” Powell turned to the last man.
osu.32435018154534	“ But what are you picking on us for, Rex? ” “ Merely this.
osu.32435018154534	“ But what is there left for me to do? ” he demanded for- lornly.
osu.32435018154534	“ But what's the idea of it, anyway? ” Henry demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ But why a genuine Van Dyck in the same room with a young person who masticates wintergreen gum?
osu.32435018154534	“ By Jove, old man, I think you have hit upon a master plan; but how are we going to get our clients?
osu.32435018154534	“ Can you beat it? ” whispered Phil, as they entered the last of the offices which radiated from the main one.
osu.32435018154534	“ Card, please?
osu.32435018154534	“ Cliff, chase up to the Punderfords and get Ethel, will you?
osu.32435018154534	“ Detectives? ” His dull eyes seemed to burn.
osu.32435018154534	“ Did I hit it?
osu.32435018154534	“ Did any one else see it except Miss Hornbottle? ” “ No.
osu.32435018154534	“ Did n’t you hear Mrs. Punderford say just now that he was still with his patients upstairs?
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you ever see a superannuated, retired clergyman going about selling religious books? ” he demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you get them, Phil? ” “ They ’re coming out in the fast roadster; ought to be here in half an hour, ” Phil responded laconically.
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you learn anything definite about Horace Punderford? ” “ About my old friend Horace?
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you learn anything definite about Horace Punderford? ” “ About my old friend Horace?
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you see Scaynes again last night? ” “ Yes, when he came out of his room to go down to dinner.
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you see him? ” Phil gasped as the warning hoot of 132 THE MAN WHO CONVICTED HIMSELF another car sent them plunging for the curb.
osu.32435018154534	“ Did you see old Rex in a soup- and- fish, lounging back in that taxi as if he had his monogram on the door?
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you all agree? ” They gave unanimous and hearty assent, then Phil grew swiftly downcast.
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you know anything about the duties of a lady's maid? ” he asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you mean to tell me that the safe was not opened by force?
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you remember how they all had been seated around the table at the séance as Mrs. Punderford de- scribed it to us?
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you smell that? ” he demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you think Punderford could be addicted to it, Henry?
osu.32435018154534	“ Do you? ” he countered.
osu.32435018154534	“ Does Mrs. Horace Punderford live here? ” Ethel ’s tone was that of one equal to another, yet it held an unmistak- able element of reserve.
osu.32435018154534	“ Does that sound like jail to you?
osu.32435018154534	“ Ethel?
osu.32435018154534	“ Experts in what, for instance? ” “ Well, a person who might in courtesy be called a hand- writing expert, for one.
osu.32435018154534	“ Fierce, ai n’t it?
osu.32435018154534	“ George, when you were in the fake spiritualistic game, your best play was to work on the emo- tions and credulity of your clients, was n’t it?
osu.32435018154534	“ Get anything? ” “ Only that both the Fraser woman and Stephen Lea- craft seem to be regular human beings.
osu.32435018154534	“ God, Luce, what is the matter?
osu.32435018154534	“ Gone through the safe yet? ” “ Not yet.
osu.32435018154534	“ Gone?
osu.32435018154534	“ Good Lord, Rex, we are not going as far as that in this thing, are we? ” he asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Have you been all through this, Rex? ” he asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Have you room in your car for three of my associates as well as ourselves? ” he queried.
osu.32435018154534	“ He almost salaamed into the telephone receiver!—He's terribly goodlookin', though, that Scaynes man, is n’t he?
osu.32435018154534	“ He has told us all he knows. ” “ What is it? ” Phil cried eagerly.
osu.32435018154534	“ He passed on a long while ago, did he not?
osu.32435018154534	“ Hello, George, did you interview them all? ” Rex hailed him in a lowered tone.
osu.32435018154534	“ How are they to do so, if we work not only indepen- dently of the police, but practically without their knowl- edge? ” demanded Powell.
osu.32435018154534	“ How could it have been an inside job with one of the thieves left there dead? ” “ I tell you it was! ” Cliff insisted.
osu.32435018154534	“ How could they, mister?
osu.32435018154534	“ How could you tell?
osu.32435018154534	“ How did that man come to his death? ” Henry shook his head lugubriously.
osu.32435018154534	“ How goes it? ” He looked up as they entered.
osu.32435018154534	“ How long have you known Mr. Scaynes, Mr. Punderford?
osu.32435018154534	“ How long —? ” Powell asked with a note of sympathy in his tone as Clifford Nichols took the last vacant chair.
osu.32435018154534	“ How was he killed, Rex?
osu.32435018154534	“ Huh? ” “ Why not turn him loose now and trail him?
osu.32435018154534	“ Huh? ” “ Why not turn him loose now and trail him?
osu.32435018154534	“ I do n’t think there is any need of leaving some one on guard here, do you? ” He appealed to Henry and the latter shook his head.
osu.32435018154534	“ I fancy you could tell the cleverest counterfeit, bills or coin, at a glance, could n’t you?
osu.32435018154534	“ I say, George, are n’t you going to have any light in the room at all except around that glass ball of yours? ” Phil asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ In the first place, did you ever see so many telephones in any house in your life?
osu.32435018154534	“ Is that fair? ” “ Fair enough, ” Nichols declared.
osu.32435018154534	“ Is there anything I can do for you?
osu.32435018154534	“ It might put me out of harmony with the infinite. ” “ ‘ Out of'—say, where did you get that? ” Phil demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ It was he for whom you had Mr. Howe telephone? ” “ And our handwriting expert also. ” Rex nodded.
osu.32435018154534	“ It ’ll be better though now that that old nut has gone. ” “ Scaynes? ” Lucian asked quickly.
osu.32435018154534	“ It ’s a clever stunt, but do you think it will work?
osu.32435018154534	“ Just a moment, Miss Punder- ford. ” “ It's really she? ” Scaynes demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ Know him? ” “ No, but I ’d like to.
osu.32435018154534	“ Leacraft did n’t tell you that, did he, George? ” “ No.
osu.32435018154534	“ Miss Punderford, may I present Doctor Corliss?
osu.32435018154534	“ My husband — he is —?
osu.32435018154534	“ News?
osu.32435018154534	“ No sign of any further meddling from those fools?
osu.32435018154534	“ Not for drugs of that sort I mean, but for anything strange or unusual that you might find? ” Ethel stared.
osu.32435018154534	“ Now, who else, Rex?
osu.32435018154534	“ Of course, George; with Mrs. Punderford herself. ” “ What did she say was missing? ” “ Nothing.
osu.32435018154534	“ Oh, are any of the gentlemen who call themselves ‘ The Shadowers ’ in?
osu.32435018154534	“ Oh, the brooch in the shape of a stork, made of Ger- man silver and set with tiny seed pearls? ” she asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Open the safe again, will you, old chap?
osu.32435018154534	“ Or had the electricity been short- circuited in some way? ” “ No.
osu.32435018154534	“ Poi- soned my eyes, you say, so as to force me to come back and open this house that my safe might be robbed?
osu.32435018154534	“ Reminds one of a séance or spiritualistic meeting, does n’t it?
osu.32435018154534	“ Say, do you know any of the girls that work for the people in your apartments? ” he asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Scaynes told me so; the old man showed them to him, himself!—And where ’s the bird? ” “ What bird?
osu.32435018154534	“ Scaynes told me so; the old man showed them to him, himself!—And where ’s the bird? ” “ What bird?
osu.32435018154534	“ See, everything is just as we left it. ” “ Will you show us exactly how the party was seated? ” Rex asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Smell what? ” “ Like joss sticks.
osu.32435018154534	“ So it was the Swami, after all!—But you do n’t call that proof that Scaynes took the pearls, do you?
osu.32435018154534	“ Solicitude for his master, eh? ” Lucian observed when THE LUMP OF CLAY 89 the door had safely closed.
osu.32435018154534	“ Some one who has passed on manifested his or her presence to you at the séance? ” he asked softly.
osu.32435018154534	“ That frivolous, gum- chewing, slangy infant? ” Lucian cried disgustedly.
osu.32435018154534	“ That you, Ethel?
osu.32435018154534	“ Then how could Punderford get it in the first place?
osu.32435018154534	“ These three were the only persons present except the immediate members of your family? ” Rex coldly ignored his irrepressible associate.
osu.32435018154534	“ This Leacraft is rather a daring speculator, is n’t he?
osu.32435018154534	“ This is his handwriting, is it not?
osu.32435018154534	“ Was she drugged, too? ” “ No, but she is in a state of severe nervous shock amount- ing to extreme prostration, ” Henry replied.
osu.32435018154534	“ Was that all? ” he asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ We can not convict him so we must make him convict him- Self. ” “ But how? ” Rex asked curiously.
osu.32435018154534	“ Well? ” That was all she said, but there was an ele- ment in her tone which made the newcomer cringe before her like a whipped dog.
osu.32435018154534	“ What am I to do there? ” “ Mrs.
osu.32435018154534	“ What are you doing, Cliff? ” “ Working on some letters I picked up yesterday. ” There was manifest eagerness in Cliff's tone.
osu.32435018154534	“ What did you think of the session?
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you call our esteemed guardian bf the outer office? ” he inquired.
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you know about any pearls? ” Rex asked in his turn.
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you make of it, sir? ” he demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you mean? ” he demanded.
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you sup- pose I shut that safe for and then opened it again?
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you think of our new sanctum? ” Clifford Nichols sank into a chair, his tapering fingers drumming lightly on its arms.
osu.32435018154534	“ What do you want of me? ” “ I ’m Doctor Corliss, ” observed Henry, moving forward in his best professional manner.
osu.32435018154534	“ What does this mean, Henry? ” “ That cat was no more dead than Solo Dan was! ” Henry took up a small jar from the table.
osu.32435018154534	“ What does this mean? ” Her voice was low and vibrant with passion.
osu.32435018154534	“ What happened to the yegg? ” he asked when they had concluded.
osu.32435018154534	“ What has become of the jeweled stork? ” Mrs. Punderford drew in her breath sharply, then ex- haled it with a little forced laugh.
osu.32435018154534	“ What have you done to your face?
osu.32435018154534	“ What if Mickens were the ‘ main guy himself? ” asked George.
osu.32435018154534	“ What in the world are you doing that for? ” Cliff de- manded.
osu.32435018154534	“ What is it? ” Lucian asked quickly.
osu.32435018154534	“ What is it? ” Mrs. Punderford asked half fearfully.
osu.32435018154534	“ What is it? ” faltered Bert.
osu.32435018154534	“ What is it? ” the latter asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ What is the next step, until our friend the burglar regains his senses, if he ever does?
osu.32435018154534	“ What kind of a game is this anyway, Rex?
osu.32435018154534	“ What on earth has that to do with what happened at the Punderford's that night? ” “ Everything, ” she responded blandly.
osu.32435018154534	“ What's the big idea, Rex? ” The magician who had performed the miracle turned to his confrères with a low laugh.
osu.32435018154534	“ What's your monniker? ” “ What's yours? ” Henry parried.
osu.32435018154534	“ What's your monniker? ” “ What's yours? ” Henry parried.
osu.32435018154534	“ Whatever put such an idea into your head?
osu.32435018154534	“ When Cronin failed for the second time to meet you at the rendezvous what did you do? ” “ I was desperate.
osu.32435018154534	“ Where did I meet up with you, anyhow?
osu.32435018154534	“ Where under the heavens did you find that monograph, Rex?
osu.32435018154534	“ Who is “ Audrey, Miss Punderford? ” Rex asked.
osu.32435018154534	“ Who was that man? ” Scaynes asked hoarsely, his pose for once forgotten.
osu.32435018154534	“ Why did n’t you blackmail Mr. Punderford for more than you did?
osu.32435018154534	“ Why do n’t you be clubby and tell us about it? ” “ Because I promised Luce. ” George's tone was very grave.
osu.32435018154534	“ Why do n’t you let Rex take over things for to- day?
osu.32435018154534	“ Why have you brought me here, Mr. Roper?
osu.32435018154534	“ Why — what — how did we get here? ” she stammered.
osu.32435018154534	“ Why, what can this be? ” She straightened with a packet of letters and a small red note- book fastened to- gether with a stout rubber band.
osu.32435018154534	“ Will you come now?
osu.32435018154534	“ Wonder what's going on in there? ” George muttered to Henry.
osu.32435018154534	“ You are —? ” she hesitated.
osu.32435018154534	“ You do n’t call that lot a handful, do you?
osu.32435018154534	“ You do n’t mean a broker named Stephen Leacraft, do you? ” “ That's the chap. ” Gideon stared.
osu.32435018154534	“ You had no other accomplice than Cronin? ” “ None!
osu.32435018154534	“ You have finished with me, have you not?
osu.32435018154534	“ You heard what this insufferable person said?
osu.32435018154534	“ You know her voice; it is n’t a trick? ” “ It ’s the little lady all right, ” Bert responded in a stage whisper.
osu.32435018154534	“ You know what Luce said — ” “ And Luce is below?
osu.32435018154534	“ You leave your velvet carpets down in summer? ” “ Only in this room.
osu.32435018154534	“ You mean that you will say noth- ing to Mrs. Punderford?
osu.32435018154534	“ You played in amateur theatricals once upon a time, did n’t you? ” Cliff stiffened slightly.
osu.32435018154534	“ You remember him, do n’t you?
osu.32435018154534	“ You saw how greatly he had improved to- day? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435018154534	“ You see what I ’m driving at, do n’t you, old man? ” Rex nodded.
osu.32435018154534	“ You think that you were overcome last night, madam?
osu.32435018154534	“ You ’re very sure, George, that he'll come through? ” George nodded solemnly.
osu.32435018154534	“ You ’ve been well paid for it, have n’t you? ” “ Perhaps, up to now.
osu.32435018154534	“ You, Rex?
osu.32435018154534	“ Your father perhaps discovered that the safe had been robbed and the shock —? ” Miss Punderford shook her head.
osu.32435018154534	“ ‘ Seen one? ’ ” he chuckled.
osu.32435056871460	- “ Do you mean there may have been burglars here again last night?
osu.32435056871460	. ” But whose could they be?
osu.32435056871460	. ” I26 OCTAGON HOUSE “ What was that, if you please? ” Crosby's tone implied an apology for his linguistic limitations.
osu.32435056871460	. ” The girl hesitated and Jerry supplemented, “ Know- ing she and I were n't friends, and she might suspect me?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ And obey me, eh?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ And you consented? ” “ Why, doctor, how could I?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ And you consented? ” “ Why, doctor, how could I?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Are n't you mistaken, Miss Day?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ As Mr. Dallison's secretary, you knew a good deal about this necklace, did n't you?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Awake?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ But what are you doing here, Heslin?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ But, Michael, ” Jerry hastily interrupted, “ why did you get me out here?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Clues?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Did n't you, Mrs. Goody dear?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Ghosts? ” echoed Nicolette suddenly.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Gone?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Her friends, young man? ” Dallison glared at Michael with a revival of his old animosity, then rolled a reddened eye in Jerry's direction.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ How long would you have stayed? ” Jerry bitterly interrupted.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Like this? ” For just a second Jerry.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Oh, for heaven's sake, Celia, what has happened now?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Oh, for the Lord's sake, Jerry Day, ” Dallison groaned, “ what are you getting at, anyway?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Oh, nonsense, Morton — the child's all right; she does n't need to be drugged, do you, darling?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Oh, you did, did you?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Quite late for a walk, was n't it?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ The truth?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ What do you mean? ” Jerry sprang from her chair but Nicolette clutched at her sleeve.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ What is it — what now, Heslin? ” Dallison's voice was one rasp of impatience.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Who's the fool now, then?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Whoever do you mean — Zélie? ” “ I mean Nicolette Dallison. ” Here Morton low- ered his tone and looked cautiously about him.
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Yes, yes, Mrs. Goodleigh, we understand how you felt, but what did you do? ” “ Do?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Yes, yes, Mrs. Goodleigh, we understand how you felt, but what did you do? ” “ Do?
osu.32435056871460	. ” “ Yes, yes, and then —? ” It was hard for Michael to conceal his impatience.
osu.32435056871460	...? ” Jerry again evaded the hand which clutched her sleeve.
osu.32435056871460	1 at Angel Cottage. ” “ What does he mean, my dear? ” inquired Mrs. Goody.
osu.32435056871460	Ah, but would he return?
osu.32435056871460	Am I so ugly now?
osu.32435056871460	And can you suggest any reason for such conduct, Miss Day?
osu.32435056871460	And have I not begged you to stay, little one? ” He moved closer to Jerry, a mad smile lighting his dull eyes.
osu.32435056871460	And now, if you please, what came next?
osu.32435056871460	And what have I got to do with it? ” “ I ca n't say, Miss Jerry, I'm not allowed to say.
osu.32435056871460	And what if any one did?
osu.32435056871460	And why should I be frightened in the house of my father? ” The eyes of Miss Dallison shot an angry look at her companion.
osu.32435056871460	And why should a girl like that want to come here?
osu.32435056871460	And why — why was Paul Morton looking at her like that?
osu.32435056871460	And you, Celia, I suppose you believe those stories they tell in the village about the place being haunted? ” The housemaid nodded emphatically.
osu.32435056871460	Any more items? ” “ One thing that is queer.
osu.32435056871460	Anything of that sort? ” Nicolette looked puzzled, shook her bright head.
osu.32435056871460	Anything suspicious about that? ” For all the gay resolution with which she had begun her day, the girl's heart sank a little.
osu.32435056871460	Are n't you ashamed — com- ing here to get me in wrong my very first night?
osu.32435056871460	Are they not the jewels of my beloved mother?
osu.32435056871460	Are you all right now, Lent?
osu.32435056871460	Are you alone?
osu.32435056871460	Are you sure?
osu.32435056871460	Blurt out something about ‘ Yellow Poodles, ’ for instance, and watch what Heslin calls her ‘ reactions'? ” “ I might try that.
osu.32435056871460	Burglars are generally caught sooner or later, are n't they? ” “ Well, yes — if it was a burglar who.
osu.32435056871460	But about your button, Jeremiah — I'll bet you did n't tell the police about that? ” Jerry smiled.
osu.32435056871460	But if it was n't?
osu.32435056871460	But is there anything odd about her — anything that does n't seem to fit in with her surroundings? ” “ Several things.
osu.32435056871460	But now, dearest, what do you want me to do?
osu.32435056871460	But tell me, is n't this house too large for your needs? ” The woman darted a queer look at him.
osu.32435056871460	But the police — that fiend, Heslin?
osu.32435056871460	But what does this mean, Miss Day?
osu.32435056871460	But what was that?
osu.32435056871460	But when she turned, startled by the slight movement Paul Morton had made, what then?
osu.32435056871460	But, look here — can't I see you to- morrow? ” “ Of course not! ” Jerry's voice was full of exaspera- tion.
osu.32435056871460	CHAPTER III A BIRTHDAY DINNER ‘ ‘ T TT is the dinner?
osu.32435056871460	Ca n't you understand that my poor girl is suffering from shock — is in no condition to remember details?
osu.32435056871460	Chip off the old block? ” Jerry did not answer.
osu.32435056871460	Clues?
osu.32435056871460	Could it be possible that this convent- bred child in baby blue was already attempting a flirta- tion with her father's friend?
osu.32435056871460	Could she bring herself to face him?
osu.32435056871460	Could some one be having a nightmare?
osu.32435056871460	Could that “ dragon- faced ” maid, as Mr. Dallison had called her, be venting her wrath upon her young mistress?
osu.32435056871460	Could the doctor be right, was this girl's mentality seriously affected by the shock she had endured?
osu.32435056871460	Could the girl have had one of her nervous attacks and stopped to rest somewhere?
osu.32435056871460	Could this theory of Michael's be DISASTER 205 a wild hallucination after all?
osu.32435056871460	Dallison, I must ask you to examine that safe of yours at once. ” “ But why?
osu.32435056871460	Dallison, ” he asked, “ did you ever hear of M. T. Barham, a collector and dealer in jewels and antiques? ” Dallison nodded.
osu.32435056871460	Demand to be released?
osu.32435056871460	Did he really think such rumors would harm his establishment, or that any one at this table would be so childish as to be frightened by them?
osu.32435056871460	Did n't I tell you we were going after the ghosts? ” Heslin grinned.
osu.32435056871460	Did n't you know Michael was engaged to Bertha Bones, the Butcher's Daughter?
osu.32435056871460	Did she bring with her no legal papers — birth or marriage certificate?
osu.32435056871460	Did you ever think that maybe you and Paul would get in too deep once?
osu.32435056871460	Did you shout? ” IN WRONG: I23 The witness flushed again.
osu.32435056871460	Did you tell Miss Dallison what you had found? ” “ No, Miss.
osu.32435056871460	Do they suspect one of the servants? ” Michael shook his head.
osu.32435056871460	Do you know anything more — anything whatso- ever about this affair? ” Jerry sighed.
osu.32435056871460	Do you know what became of her passport?
osu.32435056871460	Do you sup- pose you could be strolling in the direction of the garage around that time? ” As Jerry hesitated, the housekeeper answered for her.
osu.32435056871460	Do you suppose, Michael, that they've traced the burglar? ” “ I do n’t know.
osu.32435056871460	Do you think she will be pleased? ” “ It is — wonderful, ” Jerry gravely assented.
osu.32435056871460	Do you want to get me fired? ” “ I certainly do!
osu.32435056871460	Emeralds are even more valuable than pearls, are n't they, Michael? ” “ Depends on the stones, of course.
osu.32435056871460	Fail?
osu.32435056871460	Forgive me, but have n't we an equal interest in this affair which concerns our friends?
osu.32435056871460	Funny, ai n't it?
osu.32435056871460	Had she been attracted by the chil- dren's toys or dropped in at the Beauty Parlor?
osu.32435056871460	Had she been rash after all in accepting this responsibility?
osu.32435056871460	Had she done so?
osu.32435056871460	Had she ever failed him in scrape or lark or madcap escapade in all their gay career?
osu.32435056871460	Had she indeed received a faulty impression of an innocent woman?
osu.32435056871460	Had she not, only a few hours ago, seen Nicholas Dalli- son remove those pearls from his “ daughter ’s ” neck?
osu.32435056871460	Had that been — no, that had not been her first impression| Was there — could there be a difference?
osu.32435056871460	Had the water, too, been drugged?
osu.32435056871460	Had you talked with her, made her acquaintance? ” “ Yes, I saw her when she arrived and again for a moment in the dining room.
osu.32435056871460	Has Mr. Dallison forgiven you? ” Michael burst out laughing.
osu.32435056871460	Has the girl been talking? ” Eva gave a contemptuous snort.
osu.32435056871460	Hatboxes?
osu.32435056871460	Have n't I been looking forward to this day since I left?
osu.32435056871460	Have n't you any sym- pathy? ” In amazement Jerry eyed the red- cheeked maid, who faced her coolly.
osu.32435056871460	Have you picked up any news from the police?
osu.32435056871460	How could a poor little ingenue detective ever expect success if she showed her best cards to the astute professional?
osu.32435056871460	How could it have been she?
osu.32435056871460	How could she proceed to the fountain when she had not as yet fully admired the moonlight on those white marble steps?
osu.32435056871460	How curious?
osu.32435056871460	How did they manage that? ” “ On the steamer.
osu.32435056871460	How do you know they'll wait for you and share even? ” Jerry heard Morton curse as he struggled into his heavy motor coat.
osu.32435056871460	How easy to lay a hand against the glass, grip the sash for support?
osu.32435056871460	How many minutes had elapsed between the time when she heard the sound and the time when she entered the study?
osu.32435056871460	How on earth did you get here? ” “ I did n't swim, dear love, if that's what you mean.
osu.32435056871460	How provincial, how childish he must be thinking her to dwell on such small points'Could he be right?
osu.32435056871460	How strange?
osu.32435056871460	How would this do for a start? ” He pro- duced a sandwich from his pocket, holding it tempt- ingly near the little man's nose.
osu.32435056871460	Hysterics are awful, are n't they, Miss Jerry?
osu.32435056871460	I dumped the things on Nicolette's bed just now, Miss Jerry, and what do you think she has been doing?
osu.32435056871460	I pinched it right under Heslin's nose. ” “ And you never told him? ” “ Not I, Jeremiah.
osu.32435056871460	I rather think the decorator must have meant a compli- ment to Mr. Dallison, do n't you?
osu.32435056871460	I suppose you wo n't deny you were hiding behind the beech tree, staring at her? ” “ I do deny it, ” said Michael calmly.
osu.32435056871460	I suppose you ’ve heard about the pearls? ” Jerry nodded.
osu.32435056871460	I thought you were to stay down at the stables? ” “ Stables indeed!
osu.32435056871460	If Mademoiselle will give herself the pain to enter? ” The black eyes snapped.
osu.32435056871460	In Number Seven?
osu.32435056871460	In such a case what mercy could be expected from this terrible woman?
osu.32435056871460	Is it not so? ” Without heed- ing the quick contradiction forming on Jerry's lips, the girl continued: “ There is a thing which I desire.
osu.32435056871460	Is it really serious? ” “ So serious that I want you to leave this house at once.
osu.32435056871460	Is n't it sweet?
osu.32435056871460	Is the mark on her face like mine? ” The gargoyle- man bent his strange head.
osu.32435056871460	Is there any opening back of those shelves, doc- tor? ” Morton shook his head.
osu.32435056871460	Is there anything you wish to add to your story?
osu.32435056871460	Is thy servant a dog?
osu.32435056871460	It was a dog, was n't it? ” “ Ah, yes, my big police dog.
osu.32435056871460	It's only for a few days now — we'll be out of this. ” “ Paul'You mean it?
osu.32435056871460	Jerry gone? ” It was Michael's startled query.
osu.32435056871460	Just one? ” “ No, of course not!
osu.32435056871460	Made- moiselle will comprehend?
osu.32435056871460	Mademoiselle will excuse?
osu.32435056871460	My Zélie?
osu.32435056871460	Nicolette must ring for her — tell her to make up a bed in the dressing room — how would that do — eh?
osu.32435056871460	Nicolette wants you. ” “ Wants me? ” Jerry's tone showed some surprise.
osu.32435056871460	Now, Miss Day, Miss Dallison did not permit you to accompany her into her bedroom, did she? ” Jerry stared at him scornfully.
osu.32435056871460	One thing I know, if Nicolette takes a no- tion to come down, nobody will be able to keep her away. ” “ A spoiled child, eh?
osu.32435056871460	Or was it the girl's vivid beauty, her erratic personality that appealed to him?
osu.32435056871460	Per- haps they really would arrest her — put her behind 99'I88 OCTAGON HOUSE bars?
osu.32435056871460	Perhaps it was he downstairs?
osu.32435056871460	Perhaps these rooms had not been furnished for feminine occupants?
osu.32435056871460	Purely coincidence, I suppose? ” Jerry's hands twisted uneasily in her lap.
osu.32435056871460	Pushing away the hand, she eyed her young man angrily: “ Michael, you villain, what are you after now? ” “ Another interview, my love!
osu.32435056871460	Shall we go back to the house now? ” Nicolette drew her arm away from her companion's and walked silently ahead of her down the path.
osu.32435056871460	She is young, even younger than you, and her Master's hand has fallen more heavily on her. ” “ A girl?
osu.32435056871460	She wondered if Michael were recalling those words?
osu.32435056871460	Ship docked almost on time for once — what d'ye think of that?
osu.32435056871460	Should she show it?
osu.32435056871460	Should she tell of certain gar- ments she had seen among the maid's belongings?
osu.32435056871460	So this is the latest of your fairy tales, eh?
osu.32435056871460	So what are you up to?
osu.32435056871460	So's you can see the spooks? ” Michael nodded gravely.
osu.32435056871460	Speak out — speak out if you darel Do you think I'm afraid of anything you may have to say?
osu.32435056871460	Spread this sweet little scandal about my motherless girl?
osu.32435056871460	Swear you'll come back?
osu.32435056871460	Tell me — what was it that frightened you in the library?
osu.32435056871460	Thanks so much Am I that easy to lose?
osu.32435056871460	That door?
osu.32435056871460	The necklace is gone — ” “ The pearls?
osu.32435056871460	Then get out, will you?
osu.32435056871460	Then that is why you cry?
osu.32435056871460	Then why this foolish foreboding, this shiver of premonition?
osu.32435056871460	They interfere with my inven- tions. ” “ The Voices?
osu.32435056871460	This woman is dead — do you realize it — dead! ” “ I know. ” “ And you — I find you alone here? ” Jerry looked at him calmly.
osu.32435056871460	Those people outside — Morton was one of them, she was sure — were they forgetting her entirely?
osu.32435056871460	Trunks?
osu.32435056871460	Try to shake the drunken woman awake?
osu.32435056871460	Was Zélie a widow?
osu.32435056871460	Was it Victorine, Michael, who opened the window? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435056871460	Was it in this room, she wondered, that the doctor's frightened maidservant had seen or heard the thing that had driven her away?
osu.32435056871460	Was it purely imagination which suggested to the onlooker that one of the rounded cheeks was redder than the other?
osu.32435056871460	Was n't the word stealing? ” f “ I do n’t see that it matters, since.
osu.32435056871460	Was she not being promoted from long hours of uncongenial toil to a life of ease and luxury?
osu.32435056871460	Was the doctor — prevaricating?
osu.32435056871460	Was the woman behind the glass protesting at the rifling of her treasure house, the usurpation of her throne?
osu.32435056871460	Was there danger of a public scene, another outburst of hysterical weep- ing?
osu.32435056871460	Was there never to be an end to this puzzle?
osu.32435056871460	Was this soberly under- taken investigation of hers truly the impudent spying it would be called were she detected?
osu.32435056871460	Well, per- haps it was n't a ghost I saw, but it was certainly queer — a face — ” “ A face?
osu.32435056871460	Well, why not?
osu.32435056871460	What are you doing round here again?
osu.32435056871460	What could have persuaded Nicolette to leave her room so early, and who was that man?
osu.32435056871460	What did she say? ” “ She had on a dark wrapper and her face looked drawn and pale.
osu.32435056871460	What did she see?
osu.32435056871460	What did you let them get off with the loot for?
osu.32435056871460	What do you do, you who come creepy- creeping like a cat from my boudoir?
osu.32435056871460	What fear lurked at the back of her brain?
osu.32435056871460	What had roused her?
osu.32435056871460	What had she to do with it? ” “ Well, Miss, she makes her rounds every morning while us girls are working, to see if everything's done right.
osu.32435056871460	What happened here —? ” “ Burglars — we suppose.
osu.32435056871460	What if the child played an innocent little trick and walked off with them?
osu.32435056871460	What is the matter, doctor?
osu.32435056871460	What kind of a sound was it?
osu.32435056871460	What next?
osu.32435056871460	What right had she to come nosing round here?
osu.32435056871460	What was at the root of it all, Jerry wondered?
osu.32435056871460	What was it she had seen in that first awful moment?
osu.32435056871460	What was it that called the girl in the blue room so suddenly from sleep?
osu.32435056871460	What was she going to do?
osu.32435056871460	What would he do with his prisoners when he returned?
osu.32435056871460	What's happened?
osu.32435056871460	What's the harm, what's the harm, I say? ” “ No harm, Mr. Dallison, if you do n't mind that kind of trick, and if the girl was.
osu.32435056871460	What?
osu.32435056871460	Where is he? ” Nicolette walked to the window and peered out into the gathering dusk.
osu.32435056871460	Where was that maid, that Celia?
osu.32435056871460	Where's that? ” “ I forgot you were a stranger here.
osu.32435056871460	Where?
osu.32435056871460	Who has hurt her?
osu.32435056871460	Who is Bruce?
osu.32435056871460	Whose?
osu.32435056871460	Why bother with that now? ” Dallison frowned at him.
osu.32435056871460	Why had she come down?
osu.32435056871460	Why not try to make her give herself away?
osu.32435056871460	Why not?
osu.32435056871460	Why should I care? ” “ But the nurses? ” The gargoyle- man shrugged his humped shoulders, weariness clouding his deep- set eyes.
osu.32435056871460	Why should I care? ” “ But the nurses? ” The gargoyle- man shrugged his humped shoulders, weariness clouding his deep- set eyes.
osu.32435056871460	Why should she have desired your attentions? ” “ I — I thought she might be lonely.
osu.32435056871460	Why was she worrying?
osu.32435056871460	Will you come down, or shall I come up? ” “ Michael!
osu.32435056871460	Would Michael, too, admire Nicolette if he should see her, Jerry wondered?
osu.32435056871460	Would he think of looking for a fifty- thousand- dollar necklace among all that junk?
osu.32435056871460	Would she ever be able to make a real friend of this strange, excitable girl, this spoiled, petted darling of the house?
osu.32435056871460	Would the girl protest aloud at the defa- mation of her favorite's character?
osu.32435056871460	Would you like to run up and fetch her down?
osu.32435056871460	Would you like to see him? ” “ Oh, no, it is too late.
osu.32435056871460	Would you mind explaining, sir? ” Heslin's voice was deferential.
osu.32435056871460	X, this Yellow Poodle creature — I want to know — where is Nicolette? ” Michael nodded gravely.
osu.32435056871460	X?
osu.32435056871460	Yet it would do no harm to look — but where to begin the search?
osu.32435056871460	You do n't suppose any one saw you? ” “ Nonsense!
osu.32435056871460	You do n't suppose they could, do you, Miss Jerry? ” Jerry smiled a doleful little smile.
osu.32435056871460	You fear the policemens?
osu.32435056871460	You have noticed the open window? ” “ Oh, yes!
osu.32435056871460	You heard nothing? ” “ Nothing! ” The shrill voice rose almost to a scream, as Nicolette clutched at the doctor's hands.
osu.32435056871460	You imply that because the pearls are untouched and the jewel- case lock not broken, it was my daughter who took her own emeralds?
osu.32435056871460	You put them in the safe, I suppose? ” “ Of course they were returned to the safe, ” Dallison rather testily answered.
osu.32435056871460	You said you saw something?
osu.32435056871460	You were asleep?
osu.32435056871460	You'll come back for me?
osu.32435056871460	You're going to lie down now like a good girl, are n't you?
osu.32435056871460	You've confided this pipe dream of yours to the police, I suppose?
osu.32435056871460	Zélie had a bad heart, and died, perhaps of fright. ” “ And then — that terrible girl?
osu.32435056871460	but Mademoiselle comprehends?
osu.32435056871460	here? ” Her companion failed to answer.
osu.32435056871460	kind? ” The man shook his great head and frowned.
osu.32435056871460	that! ” “ Miss Day tells me this poor woman was Miss Dallison's maid? ” “ Yes, that makes it all the worse.
osu.32435056871460	this? ” The man raised one of his enormous hands to his own cheek, tracing a line from brow to chin.
osu.32435056871460	“ A thief, you would say?
osu.32435056871460	“ Ah, Miss Jherrie, will I do? ” Nicolette smiled at Her companion's admiring gaze.
osu.32435056871460	“ Ah, you do n't like my doll baby?
osu.32435056871460	“ And do you see the hour? ” she snapped.
osu.32435056871460	“ And is that your affair, Mademoiselle?
osu.32435056871460	“ And then, sir? ” Heslin prompted.
osu.32435056871460	“ And why, ” continued the medical examiner, “ did you say you at first supposed you were mistaken?
osu.32435056871460	“ And you, of course, were glad to see your friend after his long absence? ” Jerry stiffened in her chair.
osu.32435056871460	“ But about those ghosts now? ” But the little gentleman, having started on a new theme, was not to be diverted.
osu.32435056871460	“ But come, let us go down then, Mees — or is it indeed to be Jherrie?
osu.32435056871460	“ But how — what has happened?
osu.32435056871460	“ But who put them there? ” “ You did l ’ ” “ Careful, Heslin!
osu.32435056871460	“ But why not?
osu.32435056871460	“ Ca n't I do something for you? ” she begged.
osu.32435056871460	“ Can you ever forgive me, dear? ” he murmured.
osu.32435056871460	“ Can you stand being left alone a moment? ” Dalli- son asked the girl.
osu.32435056871460	“ Can you stand this?
osu.32435056871460	“ Celia, ” she cried to the maid at her dusting, “ how many gardeners has Mr. Dallison? ” “ Why, two, Miss — them two you see down there.
osu.32435056871460	“ Did n't I?
osu.32435056871460	“ Did you know that your Jherrie smoked the cigarette?
osu.32435056871460	“ Did you? ” Michael parried.
osu.32435056871460	“ Do you imagine she has no friends here? ” Very gently his secretary interrupted.
osu.32435056871460	“ Do you know what they're saying in the kitchen, Miss Jerry?
osu.32435056871460	“ Do you realize that you have n't really kissed your daddy?
osu.32435056871460	“ Does Mademoiselle forget Monsieur son père who attends her?
osu.32435056871460	“ Give dear old Bruce that special chop, with my compliments. ” “ Bruce?
osu.32435056871460	“ Good Lord, Heslin, what does this mean? ” The astonished cry was Dallison's.
osu.32435056871460	“ Has something turned up?
osu.32435056871460	“ Have seven cups? ” At the sound of their voices a manservant stepped from the shadows of the vestibule doorway.
osu.32435056871460	“ Have you got a pebble in it? ” Jerry sympathetically inquired.
osu.32435056871460	“ He did?
osu.32435056871460	“ How did Foxy get out of his cell? ” she asked.
osu.32435056871460	“ How do you do, Mees? ” said Nicolette, speaking English prettily, but with a decided accent.
osu.32435056871460	“ How do you support that latter idea? ” Heslin smiled.
osu.32435056871460	“ How long ago was it you stood watching Celia dis- entangle one of those golden tresses?
osu.32435056871460	“ How long must I ring without attentions? ” While Jerry and Celia were still exchanging guilty glances, Miss Dallison appeared in the doorway.
osu.32435056871460	“ However did they get in there? ” she asked.
osu.32435056871460	“ I did burn the love letters of my poor Zélie ” “ Love letters? ” Nicolette nodded solemnly.
osu.32435056871460	“ I do n't know whether you care to hear an outsider's theory, especially so early in the case? ” McArdle waved a hand.
osu.32435056871460	“ I only stayed a few moments, and then I came in and went to bed. ” “ Ah, but while you were there — you were alone, of course? ” “ No.
osu.32435056871460	“ I suppose you can not let him out alone, can you? ” she said.
osu.32435056871460	“ I think Miss Dallison may have taken a slight cold. ” “ A cold? ” Instantly the perturbed parent was all alarm.
osu.32435056871460	“ If you should feel the least bit frightened, remember I'm next door. ” “ Frightened?
osu.32435056871460	“ Is it too late to get the child excused from that affair this morning? ” he inquired of Morton.
osu.32435056871460	“ Is n't it beautiful?
osu.32435056871460	“ Is the doctor there, sir?
osu.32435056871460	“ Is your maid always like that — so cross? ” Jerry ventured the question as, arm in arm, the two girls descended the stair.
osu.32435056871460	“ Just a pleasant chat, eh?
osu.32435056871460	“ Locked in, am I? ” she sneered.
osu.32435056871460	“ Mademoiselle, ” inquired Miss Dallison severely, “ why is it that you are in my father's house? ” Jerry stared at her in amazement.
osu.32435056871460	“ Mean, sir?
osu.32435056871460	“ Miss Day, is that you?
osu.32435056871460	“ Miss Day, is there anything else that you can tell us?
osu.32435056871460	“ Miss Day, why did you follow Miss Dallison to her room? ” “ I thought perhaps I could help her.
osu.32435056871460	“ No, do you not see?
osu.32435056871460	“ Nothing's been disturbed round here, I hope? ” he asked.
osu.32435056871460	“ Now do n't you be too sure of that? ” Silence at last in the monster- house.
osu.32435056871460	“ Octagon House?
osu.32435056871460	“ Of course — but, oh, Mr. Dallison, how pretty she is"“ You think so? ” Nicholas Dallison fairly beamed.
osu.32435056871460	“ Oh, Dr. Morton, was he crazy?
osu.32435056871460	“ Oh, Miss Jerry, ” the housemaid sobbed, “ what- ever will you think of me?
osu.32435056871460	“ Oh, how did you stand it?
osu.32435056871460	“ Oh, you do n't see that it matters?
osu.32435056871460	“ Plenty of sleep in these cases, that's what you want, eh?
osu.32435056871460	“ Publicity, sir?
osu.32435056871460	“ Rather an odd place for them, is n't it, Dallison? ” his friend suggested.
osu.32435056871460	“ Seems kinder natural to be quarreling again, does n't it, old girl?
osu.32435056871460	“ She got a good scare that time, did n't she? ” “ Why, Celia, you bad girl!
osu.32435056871460	“ She seemed irritated — upset, eh?
osu.32435056871460	“ She thanked me and said that Zélie was waiting for her. ” “ How did the maid look when she opened the door?
osu.32435056871460	“ She's dead! ” “ Is n't there anything we could try to do — anything? ” Jerry's voice trembled.
osu.32435056871460	“ Suppose a burglar did come burgling round here to- night?
osu.32435056871460	“ Tell me — before the others come, ” he whispered, “ what do you know about this?
osu.32435056871460	“ Tell me, ” Morton whispered, “ what did she want of you that you would not do? ” Jerry looked at him in surprised appreciation.
osu.32435056871460	“ Tell us first where you found or — er — per- fected this invention? ” The colonel chuckled merrily.
osu.32435056871460	“ That's it — where is Nico- lette?
osu.32435056871460	“ The gardener?
osu.32435056871460	“ Then you were doing something more useful this afternoon than snooping round the house trying to flirt with Nicolette Dallison?
osu.32435056871460	“ They were found in Miss Day's bed, Miss Dallison. ” “ In the bed of Miss Day?
osu.32435056871460	“ Was n't it natural that Nicolette, in her loyalty to the dead woman, should believe her rather than you — a stranger?
osu.32435056871460	“ Was n't that worth a little fright?
osu.32435056871460	“ Well, gentlemen, ” he began, “ any news?
osu.32435056871460	“ Well, what do you think of it? ” she demanded.
osu.32435056871460	“ What did you do with those jewels you spoke off Emeralds are mighty valuable, are n't they?
osu.32435056871460	“ What do you mean? ” she cried, turning angrily on her father.
osu.32435056871460	“ What do you mean? ” she cried.
osu.32435056871460	“ What use is it to argue?
osu.32435056871460	“ What were you doing when I came in? ” Jerry looked at Morton in surprise, resenting the sharpness in his voice.
osu.32435056871460	“ What's that to you?
osu.32435056871460	“ Whatever do you mean?
osu.32435056871460	“ Where are you going?
osu.32435056871460	“ Where did you get this? ” he cried.
osu.32435056871460	“ Where did you get this? ” she demanded.
osu.32435056871460	“ Where is she?
osu.32435056871460	“ Who found them, and when? ” “ Celia, the upstairs maid — this afternoon, ” Heslin answered.
osu.32435056871460	“ Why did n't I take French at school instead of Spanish? ” she murmured.
osu.32435056871460	“ Why did you say I was pleasing once'?
osu.32435056871460	“ Why should n't we be discouraged?
osu.32435056871460	“ Will you come to me, my own? ” She put both arms round his neck and drew the rough head against her breast.
osu.32435056871460	“ Will you let me see if I can locate Miss Day, sir? ” “ Go ahead.
osu.32435056871460	“ Wo n't you come all the way in, Mr. O'Boyle?
osu.32435056871460	“ Yes, what is it? ” “ A mark — a stain.
osu.32435056871460	“ You do n't say?
osu.32435056871460	“ You know Miss Day? ” It was Dallison speaking.
osu.32435056871460	“ You poor kid? ” exclaimed Jerry's young man.
osu.32435056871460	“ You say Miss Dallison is awake?
osu.32435056871460	“ You wanted me, sir? ” Dallison sighed.
osu.32435056871460	“ Zélie?
uiug.30112004188444	And I think there ’s a very good chance of his being caught, too — — ” “ I suppose there ’ll be a lot on the watch to- night, eh?
uiug.30112004188444	And a coat — were you able to see What sort of a coat he was wearing?
uiug.30112004188444	And are they sure ’ tis his?
uiug.30112004188444	And if I offered you two pounds, or two guineas?
uiug.30112004188444	And now?
uiug.30112004188444	And then, a few minutes later, “ Had n’t you better put your hat and coat on and go out?"
uiug.30112004188444	And then, in sudden terror, “ You ’ve never come to tell me that anything ’s happened to Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	And then, that horrid monster ’ ull soon be at his work again — — ” “ Monster?
uiug.30112004188444	And then, “ Where ’s my bag?
uiug.30112004188444	And what d’you think he did?
uiug.30112004188444	And would you tell me what you ’d like for supper?
uiug.30112004188444	And yet, what could she do?
uiug.30112004188444	And — well, they ’ve found his weapon l ” “ No?
uiug.30112004188444	Been up since four, too — ” “ Four?
uiug.30112004188444	Bennett( W. H.) and Adena?
uiug.30112004188444	But Bunting sat on, absorbed in his newspaper; all he did at the sound of the bedroom door opening was to look up and say,"Did n’t you hear a knock?
uiug.30112004188444	But I wonder how Old Aunt ’d like the notion?
uiug.30112004188444	But now?
uiug.30112004188444	But the cabman what brought Daisy told me — ”"Well?
uiug.30112004188444	But this particular one was put in at the Edgware Road Post Office. ” “ What?
uiug.30112004188444	But will you be all right, Ellen?
uiug.30112004188444	But would Ellen ever let her go out by herself with Mr. Chandler?
uiug.30112004188444	But, there, how can that be done in London, full of butchers ’ shops, to say nothing of slaughter- yards and other places 0 ’ that sort?
uiug.30112004188444	Close to us?
uiug.30112004188444	Cold?
uiug.30112004188444	Cold?
uiug.30112004188444	Did they save her?
uiug.30112004188444	Did you say breakfast, Mrs. Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	Do not tell me that you are going to add yourself to the number of my tormentors, Mrs. Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	Do you know him?
uiug.30112004188444	Had n’t I better just tell Daisy to see to it, and then I can take it up to him, as you ’re not feeling quite the thing, Ellen?
uiug.30112004188444	Have you heard about the letter?
uiug.30112004188444	He declared — what was the word he used?
uiug.30112004188444	He put the paper he had been holding down on to the table: “ Well, ” he said, “ well, who was it, Ellen?
uiug.30112004188444	He wanted to get the strong, acrid smell of burning — was it of burning wool? — out of the house.
uiug.30112004188444	He went out to buy a paper a few minutes ago, and the cold just caught him, I suppose. ” “ Your husband —?
uiug.30112004188444	He ’ ave got a down on the drink 1 ” “ Have they caught him? ” asked Bunting per- functorily.
uiug.30112004188444	He ’s not had an accident?
uiug.30112004188444	He ’s pretty sure to come in some time to- day. ” “ Then the five thousand constables were n’t no use?
uiug.30112004188444	Here ’s his false stump; you see, it ’s made of wood — wood and black felt?
uiug.30112004188444	How about those eggs, Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	How could she have thought it was anything else?
uiug.30112004188444	How could she share her dreadful burden with poor Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	How d’you spell it — S- l- u- t- h?
uiug.30112004188444	How many of our men d’you think there ’ll be on night duty to- night, Mr. Bunting?"
uiug.30112004188444	I have been pondering over the com- mand, ‘ Work while it is yet light. ’ ” “ Yes, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	I hope you did n’t ring, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	I said 18 274 THE LODGER “ Yes? ” said Daisy, rather defiantly.
uiug.30112004188444	I suppose it ’d be too good news to expect you to tell us they ’ve caught him?
uiug.30112004188444	I think I will go and see a doctor this very afternoon. ” “ Would n’t you like me to go with you?
uiug.30112004188444	I thought you ’d like your breakfast early, as you had dinner rather sooner than usual. ” “ Breakfast?
uiug.30112004188444	I trust the Marylebone Road is not going to become a noisy thoroughfare, Mrs. Bunting?"
uiug.30112004188444	I understood you wanted the loan of it?
uiug.30112004188444	I ’ve got a awk’ard job — to try and worm something out of the barmaid. ” “ Something out of the barmaid?
uiug.30112004188444	If she had done so, might not the girl have been prevented from throwing herself into the lake?
uiug.30112004188444	If they did anything to upset him, where could they ever hope to get another like him?
uiug.30112004188444	In any case, where would have been the good of worrying about the lodger ’s funny ways?
uiug.30112004188444	Instead——- Why, what was this she heard now?
uiug.30112004188444	Is that all you wants to talk about?
uiug.30112004188444	Is that all? ” Mr. Sleuth hurried after her, and she shrank back a little.
uiug.30112004188444	Is there anything I can do to help you?
uiug.30112004188444	It 232 THE LODGER stands to reason they ’ve got to go out to people at all times of day. ” “ I hope they gave you a cup of tea?
uiug.30112004188444	It is impos- sible that the perpetrator of such deeds, however nomad he may be in his habits — ” “ Now I wonder what ‘ nomad ’ can be?
uiug.30112004188444	Just as Joe had put his finger on his lip Daisy had been asking, “ Shall I read this, father?
uiug.30112004188444	LORE 0?

uiug.30112004188444	Might I then rely on your not taking another lodger?

uiug.30112004188444	Not by bus, eh?
uiug.30112004188444	Now, surely, would be a good opportunity for a little genial conversation?

uiug.30112004188444	Plucking up courage, Bunting called out, his voice echoing freshly on the still air: “ Mr. Sleuth, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	Quick work that, eh?"
uiug.30112004188444	She had not made him a gry by that, that — was it a hint she had meant to c vey to him?
uiug.30112004188444	She read out: I 122 THE LODGER “ Broonnounns TO BE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED ”"Bloodhounds?
uiug.30112004188444	She was listening, interested- like, to what I was telling her, and then, suddenly — well, you saw how she was took, father?
uiug.30112004188444	So it ’s you, Mr. Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	Stop — had she told a lie?
uiug.30112004188444	Surely by now The Avenger must be avenged?
uiug.30112004188444	Surely the lodger was not going out again into the cold and foggy night — going out, as he had done the other evening, for a second time?
uiug.30112004188444	THE LODGER 103 Why, we might knock up against some murderer any minute without knowing it, might n’t we?
uiug.30112004188444	THE LODGER 195 “ Have you a pain anywhere?
uiug.30112004188444	That ’s what ’s been arranged. ” “ N o arrest, I suppose?
uiug.30112004188444	The Avenger?
uiug.30112004188444	The new lodger had turned all those nice framed?
uiug.30112004188444	Then she had not offended her lodger?
uiug.30112004188444	Then you think, Joe, that the monster ’ll be on the job again to- night?
uiug.30112004188444	They generally throws the knife or fire- arms away, you know. ” “ Do they, indeed? ” Mrs. Bunting still spoke in that absent, wondering way.
uiug.30112004188444	They never offered me a bit or a sup — I think they might have done that, do n’t you, Mrs. Bunting?

uiug.30112004188444	Was there any new evidence — evidence of which Joe Chandler, for instance, was ignorant?
uiug.30112004188444	We ’re right in the middle of everything now, ai n’t we?
uiug.30112004188444	Well P I hope you found the doctor all right?
uiug.30112004188444	Well, I suppose I must be going now. ” “ Wo n’t you wait a bit longer for Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	Well, that do n’t seem much of a clue, does it, Miss Daisy?
uiug.30112004188444	What can I do for you, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	What did he mean by that?
uiug.30112004188444	What do I mean?
uiug.30112004188444	What if the lodger did make a certain amount of mess — a certain amount of smell — in her nice clean kitchen?
uiug.30112004188444	What is he really like?
uiug.30112004188444	What makes you think that?
uiug.30112004188444	What on earth are you doing?
uiug.30112004188444	What was it made the flames of the fire shoot up, shoot down, in that queer way?
uiug.30112004188444	What was that Bunting was saying?
uiug.30112004188444	Whatever had made such horrible thoughts and suspicions as had possessed him suddenly come into his head?
uiug.30112004188444	Whatever sort of a thing is it?
uiug.30112004188444	Whatever ’s the matter with me?
uiug.30112004188444	Who ’d ever have thought of such a thing? ” Bunting exclaimed, in admiration.
uiug.30112004188444	Who ’d ever think of that?
uiug.30112004188444	Why could n’t Bunting have lain quiet abed for awhile longer, and let his poor wife go on dreaming?
uiug.30112004188444	Why could n’t they talk of something pleasant when they did have a quiet bit of time together?
uiug.30112004188444	Why do n’t you wait till she ’s come home to help you?
uiug.30112004188444	Why had she allowed, nay encouraged, Daisy to go away for two days?
uiug.30112004188444	Why not wait till to- morrow, and take Daisy with you?
uiug.30112004188444	Why should n’t I just take a bus and go over 9 130 THE LODGER and see Margaret?
uiug.30112004188444	Why, father, whatever ’s the matter with her?"
uiug.30112004188444	Why, whatever did he come here for, excepting to tell us all about it?"
uiug.30112004188444	Why, whatever do they have a museum in your place for?
uiug.30112004188444	Why, whatever for?
uiug.30112004188444	Will you believe me when I tells you that that other bit of button was discovered, and that it hanged the fellow?
uiug.30112004188444	Wonderful thought, ai n’t it?
uiug.30112004188444	Would you like the knocker taken off to- morrow?

uiug.30112004188444	“ And — and, Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Anything the matter, Ellen?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Anything the matter?

uiug.30112004188444	“ But what is man — what is man ’s puny power or strength against that of God, or even of those over whose feet God has set a guard?

uiug.30112004188444	“ Did you hear that?

uiug.30112004188444	“ I should say that man ’ ud got something on his conscience, would n’t you?"
uiug.30112004188444	“ I suppose I ’m not to do your room till you goes out, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	“ I suppose a good many murderers get off?
uiug.30112004188444	“ I think I ’d better go up, eh, Ellen? ” he said.
uiug.30112004188444	“ I thought maybe you ’d like to have supper a little earlier to- night, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	“ I understood Joe to say he liked my company. ” “ Oh, did you?
uiug.30112004188444	“ I ’d be very glad only to have you to wait on, sir. ” “ I suppose you have a key to the door of this room, Mrs. Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	“ I ’d better clear away, sir, had I not?
uiug.30112004188444	“ I ’m afraid, Mr. Bunting, that you must have felt something dirty, foul, on my coat?

uiug.30112004188444	“ Is it indeed, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	“ It would n’t be very pleasant to run up against such a party as that in the fog, eh, Ellen?"
uiug.30112004188444	“ It ’s a bit of fish to- day, is n’t it?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Just a friend of yours, was it, Mrs. Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Just tell me that, Joe?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Mr. — ah — Mr.—is it Can not?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Mrs. Bunting, may I ask you to come here?
uiug.30112004188444	“ My girl?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Ought not Miss Ellen Green, ” so the man had asked, “ to have told someone of the girl ’s threat?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Still snowing?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Surely I had a bag when I came in?
uiug.30112004188444	“ That ’s never Mr. Sleuth going out?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Then do they think there ’s more than one of them?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Then why on earth did n’t he go and fetch Daisy, if he ’d time to come here?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Then you have n’t got a slot machine?
uiug.30112004188444	“ They do say, ” observed Bunting cautiously, “ They 42 THE LODGER do say, Joe, that the police have a clue they wo n’t say nothing about?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Well, I ’ve never said you was never right, have I?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Well, Joe?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Well?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Well?

uiug.30112004188444	“ What is it, Ellen?
uiug.30112004188444	“ What is it, my dear?
uiug.30112004188444	“ What makes you think he may n’t come back?"
uiug.30112004188444	“ What sort of a hat was this man wear- ing when you saw him hurrying from the passage?
uiug.30112004188444	“ What time d’you expect Daisy?"
uiug.30112004188444	“ What — what, may I ask, is your husband ’s occupation?
uiug.30112004188444	“ What ’ll yer ’ ave, sir?

uiug.30112004188444	“ Why bloodhounds?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Why did n’t you let me know about it?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Why should we stay out here in the cold?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Why that, Joe?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Why, Ellen, do n’t you feel well?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Why, whatever ’s this?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Will you just look at the bedroom, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Will you please accept this little gift for the use you kindly allowed me to make of your kitchen last night?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Would you like to go in and see them?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Yes, Ellen?"
uiug.30112004188444	“ Yes, Mr. Chandler?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Yes, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Yes, they says here that they has a clue. “ “ A clue, Bunting?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Yes?
uiug.30112004188444	“ Yes?
uiug.30112004188444	“ You did ring, sir? ” she said, in her quiet, re- spectful way.
uiug.30112004188444	“ You do n't mean there was a policeman there, within a few yards?
uiug.30112004188444	“ You do n’t mean to say, Ellen, that you ca n’t even tell me where it happened? ” he said indignantly.
uiug.30112004188444	“ You might just let me have one peep at him, Ellen? ” she had pleaded, only that morning.
uiug.30112004188444	“ You ’re never going out this afternoon, sir?
uiug.30112004188444	“ “ The Black Museum?

uiug.30112004188444	” She hesitated a moment, then asked stiffly,"And will you be requiring any beer, or wine, sir?

uc1.b3327112	Did you ever see the child about whom there has been all this coil? ” “ Yes, about three years ago. ” “ Three years!
uc1.b3327112	Did you know it? ” A gesture, but whether of assent or dissent I could not tell.
uc1.b3327112	Did you see any other vehicle leave by the same gate at or before that time? ” “ Yes, a carriage.

uc1.b3327112	Do you know the secret of that strange- ly divided room? ” “ Only in a general way.
uc1.b3327112	Do you know what they meant by that?
uc1.b3327112	Do you know? ” “ Not exactly.
uc1.b3327112	Do you think me as blind to- day to truth and honor as I was six years ago?
uc1.b3327112	Do you want to see things nearer?
uc1.b3327112	Do you wish her confirmation of my story?

uc1.b3327112	First, what has become of the child? ” “ She is safe and happy.

uc1.b3327112	How came you there?
uc1.b3327112	How can I help?
uc1.b3327112	How dare you?
uc1.b3327112	How had it happened?
uc1.b3327112	How shall we see?
uc1.b3327112	How was the boy in his charge?
uc1.b3327112	I did n’t ask who she was; why should I?
uc1.b3327112	I hardly knew; I spoke as impulse directed and 180 BEHIND THE WALL waited in cold blood — or was it hot blood? — to see how she took it.

uc1.b3327112	If the child can be found — you wish that?
uc1.b3327112	If there is a clue I must find it. ” “ Clue? ” She was looking at me a little breathlessly.
uc1.b3327112	Is she known?
uc1.b3327112	It may mean the ul- timate restoration of her child. ” “ This paper? ” “ Yes, Miss Porter. ” She did not try to hide her incredulity.
uc1.b3327112	It was natural that she should be preoccupied. ” “ With thoughts of her little nephew'? ” re- plied Miss Graham.
uc1.b3327112	Master, what is it?
uc1.b3327112	Mr. Rathbone shows good taste. ” “ Ah, is she the one? ” “ Did you not know it? ” “ No; yet I have seen them together many times.

uc1.b3327112	No mercenary motive prompts what I am saying now. ” “ So you intend to publish my story, if I do not? ” I hesitated again.

uc1.b3327112	Oh, we are in a terrible strait, we two, unless you will stand by us like a friend — and you will do that, wo n’t you, Mr. Trevitt?

uc1.b3327112	Shall we cross the floor? ” “ No, no.
uc1.b3327112	She did not sleep — Oh, sir, what is it? ” I was standing over her, probably a terrify- ing figure.
uc1.b3327112	She is ready to believe everything but that the child is dead. ” Was it so?
uc1.b3327112	She only knows what I told her. ” “ And what did you tell her? ” “ Ah!
uc1.b3327112	Some marauder, then, or a detect- i ve, like myself?
uc1.b3327112	That has failed, has it not?

uc1.b3327112	They call it — ” “ Well, well, what do they call it? ” I asked impatiently.
uc1.b3327112	They displeased me, and I made no attempt to 332 THE MILLIONAIRE BABY “ Do you not think Mrs. Ocumpaugh worthy some pity?

uc1.b3327112	What did it mean?

uc1.b3327112	Wo n't Mr. Atwater do?
uc1.b3327112	Would I discover in the columns any hint of the preceding day ’s events in Yonkers, which, if known, must for ever upset the wagon theory?

uc1.b3327112	“ Are you a doctor?'
uc1.b3327112	“ Are you dissatisfied? ” I asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ Are you not a- detective? ” There was sarcasm, as well as taunt in the way he uttered that last word.
uc1.b3327112	“ Blood l Do you not see that it is blood?
uc1.b3327112	“ Both. ” “ Any one else? ” “ No.
uc1.b3327112	“ Both? ” I whispered back.
uc1.b3327112	“ But the child is not dead?
uc1.b3327112	“ But the child? ” she interrupted.
uc1.b3327112	“ But you have not answered my questions as to where this wagon is at pres- ent and under whose care?
uc1.b3327112	“ Can you see? ” I asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ Clue to what?
uc1.b3327112	“ Could n't Mrs. Carew tell us something about this? ” I asked, with a gesture toward the house we were now passing.

uc1.b3327112	“ Do n’t you see?
uc1.b3327112	“ Do you feel better? ” I asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ Do you know that I do n't quite like the noises which are being made up there? ” came in a sudden whisper to my ear.
uc1.b3327112	“ Do you know this child ’s parentage and condition? ” he sharply inquired, with a quick look toward me.
uc1.b3327112	“ Do you know who pasted that date upon the post? ” I inquired.
uc1.b3327112	“ Do you mean that you are my friend? ” she cried.
uc1.b3327112	“ Does Mrs. Ocumpaugh? ” “ I do not think so.
uc1.b3327112	“ Good news?
uc1.b3327112	“ His name? ” I demanded.
uc1.b3327112	“ How could I, ” she asked, “ when Mrs. Ocumpaugh did not close her eyes?
uc1.b3327112	“ Hurt, Aline? ” I looked at her anxiously.
uc1.b3327112	“ I can not speak for myself. ” Was I playing with her curiosity or anxie- ties or whatever it was that affected her?
uc1.b3327112	“ I do not like it either, but — ” “ What have you found now? ” Her voice seemed to come from a great dis- tance behind me.
uc1.b3327112	“ I mean, why did she come thus suddenly, with- out warning me of what I might expect?
uc1.b3327112	“ I want to see for myself if — if- ” “ If what, Jared? ” He turned his eyes on me, but did not an- swer.
uc1.b3327112	“ I won- der if you will have an equally wise reply to give to my next question? ” “ I can not say.
uc1.b3327112	“ In what direction, then? ” I asked, with a gentleness I hoped would prove effective.
uc1.b3327112	“ Is it not?
uc1.b3327112	“ Is the time too short?
uc1.b3327112	“ Madam, what does this mean?
uc1.b3327112	“ Not a breath. ” “ No cops in the neighborhood?
uc1.b3327112	“ Not if he brings news? ” “ News? ” “ I have news, but of a delicate nature.
uc1.b3327112	“ Not if he brings news? ” “ News? ” “ I have news, but of a delicate nature.
uc1.b3327112	“ Nothing? ” he repeated in a relieved voice, as he lifted up his lantern.
uc1.b3327112	“ Oh! ” she cried, “ what it is to be a de- tectivel But who could have been here 7 Who would want to be here?
uc1.b3327112	“ Oh, what is going to happen now? ” Then as she watched me: “ There is — there is something under it.
uc1.b3327112	“ Oh, ” she cried, in a tone that assured me she had not seen the dog lying in his blood at my back; “ dead already?
uc1.b3327112	“ One I know? ” she asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ Ourselves. ” “ Did we do that? ” “ I did; or rather my foot struck the edge of the rug as I turned to go out with you.
uc1.b3327112	“ Shall I not look up Mr. Atwater for you? ” I asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ She beau- tiful? ” was his doubtful rejoinder.
uc1.b3327112	“ She studied — to please me?
uc1.b3327112	“ That is, since her illness developed. ” “ Her illness? ” “ Yes, she has been ill ever since she went away.
uc1.b3327112	“ Then I may go on? ” I said.
uc1.b3327112	“ Was it a man's or woman ’s steps? ” she finally asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ Was there a foot- print left, then?
uc1.b3327112	“ What are you listening for? ” he asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ What can you find there? ” “ I do not know.
uc1.b3327112	“ What do you make of all this, Mr. Trevitt? ” I replied as directly as the circumstances demanded.
uc1.b3327112	“ What do you mean? ” I finally gasped.
uc1.b3327112	“ What do you think of Mrs. Ocumpaugh? ” “ She is handsome, too, but in a different way. ” “ I should think so.
uc1.b3327112	“ What goes on behind those shuttered win- dows? ” thought I.
uc1.b3327112	“ What have you two been doing down there? ” was his very natural complaint.
uc1.b3327112	“ What is it?
uc1.b3327112	“ What is it?
uc1.b3327112	“ What is it? ” she asked, running hastily forward so that we met in the center of the hall.
uc1.b3327112	“ What is that spot, and that spot, and that?
uc1.b3327112	“ What makes you say that?
uc1.b3327112	“ What need of that? ” he retorted.
uc1.b3327112	“ What sort of candy — pardon me if I seem impertinent — had you in your house on the Wednesday the child disappeared?
uc1.b3327112	“ Where did you get it?
uc1.b3327112	“ Where is the child?
uc1.b3327112	“ Which Mr. Ocumpaugh?
uc1.b3327112	“ Who has been here? ” she asked.
uc1.b3327112	“ Whom?
uc1.b3327112	“ Will you believe that what I ask is for the best and take this envelope to her?
uc1.b3327112	“ Will you call in to see me to- morrow? ” she asked, pausing to look back at a turn in the path.
uc1.b3327112	“ Would you like to see what that is?
uc1.b3327112	“ Yes; Doctor Pool, whom I wish to God I had never seen — has he told you any such lies as that?
uc1.b3327112	“ Yet there is such an account and I have listened to a reading of it. ” “ You p?
uc1.b3327112	“ You can bear it? ” I queried.
uc1.b3327112	“ You do not know? ” I echoed, conscious that my jaw had fallen, and that I was staring at him with fright in my eyes.
uc1.b3327112	“ You know who wrote those slips? ” “ Not a bit of it.

uiug.30112045841498	But I wish you'd tell me straight out, is it likely anybody's followed you? ” “'Tain't what you'd call likely, master, ” he answered promptly.
uiug.30112045841498	But a more serious question, master, is, where are those other chaps?
uiug.30112045841498	But now, as you're armed- “ Aye? ” he broke in, giving me a keen look.
uiug.30112045841498	But these here young guttersnipes, d'ye think they care a curse about what a gen- tleman like you'ud call honour?
uiug.30112045841498	But — what about water- thupply?
uiug.30112045841498	But'tis all twenty year agone, and I ha'seen half the world since then! ” “ Will you have a drop more rum, Kiffin?"
uiug.30112045841498	But, as things is, he'll go straight back to his old master if I lets him loose. ” “ And his master is — who and what?"
uiug.30112045841498	But- it might be. ” “ Why should anybody follow you? ” I persisted.
uiug.30112045841498	But-"“ Well? ” I asked, seeing him hesitate.
uiug.30112045841498	But”-his eyes were wandering round the little hall by that time—“I reckon he do n't live here now?
uiug.30112045841498	Circumwention! ” “ Well? ” I asked.
uiug.30112045841498	Com- promithe. ” “ Well? ” said I.
uiug.30112045841498	Could you get a few hours'rest on that sofa? ” He showed no surprise at my invitation.
uiug.30112045841498	Did he now? ” “ He said he came to see an old friend of his, Dan Flint, ” I replied.
uiug.30112045841498	Did he tell you why he did come here, mithter?
uiug.30112045841498	Do you know anything?
uiug.30112045841498	Do you think we wish to be kept prisoners? ” “ We can stand a siege, master, ” he replied, coolly.
uiug.30112045841498	Eh? ” “ The place is now more highly recommended than before, ” I said.
uiug.30112045841498	Evidently this is not the place you can run wheels right up to ” you know “ Luggage, eh? ” he remarked, with a glance at Marjorie.
uiug.30112045841498	Four?
uiug.30112045841498	Got all that?"
uiug.30112045841498	He were a clever man, Ben! ” “ Cute, eh? ” I said.
uiug.30112045841498	He'th either got to come to termth or we thall put him through it. ” “ How are you going to get at him?"
uiug.30112045841498	I say! ” “ Well?"
uiug.30112045841498	I suppose we shall lunch at Wrychester?"
uiug.30112045841498	I wish “ What? ” I demanded, eager for any man- ner of suggestion.
uiug.30112045841498	I've been afraid of their setting fire to the place all along. ”"How would that benefit them?"
uiug.30112045841498	I've no doubt you've spent worse nights? ” “ That's very kind of you, Mr. Shepperoe, ” said Marjorie.
uiug.30112045841498	If only we had a couple of revolvers! ” “ Is there anything of that sort in the cot- tage? ” she suggested.
uiug.30112045841498	If you'd conthent to talk it over, reathonable, mithter-?
uiug.30112045841498	In this weather-ah! ” 12 The Heaven- Kissed Hill “ Is it so very charming, Mr. Colstervine? ” asked Marjorie.
uiug.30112045841498	Is that the situation? ” “ You could n't ha'put it clearer, mithter, ” replied Melchisedech.
uiug.30112045841498	Kiffin's done you out of thirty odd pounds, and you believe that he knows where some stolen stuff is hidden away up here, and that he's after it?
uiug.30112045841498	Let it go all to tumble- down- come, he did,'cause why?
uiug.30112045841498	Let's be plain, master — are you and the lady in any danger, yourselves? ” “ I do n't know about absolute danger,"I answered.
uiug.30112045841498	Nolwhat I'm thinking and figuring about is — what's going on in that cottage?
uiug.30112045841498	Now what might you suppose they're after? ” “ Heaven knows! ” said I.
uiug.30112045841498	Now,"I continued, promptly emerged upon an open stretch of turf,"what is it?"
uiug.30112045841498	See?"
uiug.30112045841498	So Master Kiffin did n't propose that you should appropriate the swag when you found it?
uiug.30112045841498	Squeech? ” suggested Marjorie.
uiug.30112045841498	That is, to be sure, as far as I knows of. ” “ Nobody hereabouts?"
uiug.30112045841498	The Cottage in the Quarry 17"Is this shanty of yours burglar- proof- and that sort of thing? ” I asked.
uiug.30112045841498	The Young Jew 53 “ Which of us two has the sharper eye for things? ” she asked.
uiug.30112045841498	Then I comes to this here town'twixt here and the sea — the town with a big church in it. ” “ Wrychester? ” I suggested.

uiug.30112045841498	Wath there two thotth fired there, or one? ” “ Two! ” answered Marjorie, promptly.
uiug.30112045841498	We ca n't thay no better, can we, mithter?
uiug.30112045841498	We want more than that! ” “ What, then? ” I asked.
uiug.30112045841498	We were thinking of the same thing_ would there be any chance of escape while these fellows were engaged in their assault on Kiffin?
uiug.30112045841498	We've got Kiffin! ” “ Well? ”'I replied.
uiug.30112045841498	Were there two men fired at you from that window, or on'y one? ” Neither Greever nor Fakoe knew.
uiug.30112045841498	What about luggage?
uiug.30112045841498	What can we do?
uiug.30112045841498	What did he do, Greever, when he thtruck Wrychethter?"
uiug.30112045841498	What have I got to do with you and your pack? ” The Midnight Cry 149 fication in Melchisedech's deep sigh.
uiug.30112045841498	What have you done to that man?"
uiug.30112045841498	What licks me is, what are we you and I- going to do?
uiug.30112045841498	What ought we to do for our own safety?
uiug.30112045841498	What were we to do in this annoying situation?-literally pinned down and helpless.
uiug.30112045841498	What would you do? ” “ I think we should just take a look round, you and I, ” she said.
uiug.30112045841498	What's that look like? ” Marjorie made no reply.
uiug.30112045841498	What's this here Kiffin- and t’other man- what are they up to?"
uiug.30112045841498	What's to stop you?
uiug.30112045841498	Who's again it?"
uiug.30112045841498	Why risk it?"
uiug.30112045841498	Would it send them to sleep?"
uiug.30112045841498	Would you have me go out and be knifed?
uiug.30112045841498	Ye did n't hear no thoundth in the night? ”"Nothing of that sort,"I answered.
uiug.30112045841498	You mutht thee that we do n't want no poleeth here! ” Barred Out 87 “ Are you going to stop me and my wife from leaving this quarry?"
uiug.30112045841498	You want your money back? ” “ We'll have our money back, mithter, with- out your talking to Kiffin, ” replied Melchise- dech.
uiug.30112045841498	You wo n't interfere with uth when we go for Kiffin and that cottage?

uiug.30112045841498	you ai n't any idea of what it ith that Kiffin'th after? ” “ Idea!"
uiug.30112045841498	“ A bit cow- ardly, eh? ”"Well, what are we to do?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ A bit cow- ardly, eh? ”"Well, what are we to do?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ A tall man, away amongst the bushes? ” They had seen nothing since the flash of the guns.
uiug.30112045841498	“ And even if he went there, how do we know he'd find a lodging? ”"An utter stranger, you know, ” I suggested, doubtfully.
uiug.30112045841498	“ And if these fellows are still hanging about, do you sup- pose they'll let her get within earshot?
uiug.30112045841498	“ And what did you do, Greever? ” asked Melchisedech, admiringly, and with a glance at us which was meant to draw out respectful attention.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Any drink? ” he asked with a sharp glance of his beady eyes.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Any luck, mithter? ” he asked.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Are they following you?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Are you going to tell me?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Aye, what then? ” said he, with an enigmatic smile.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Aye, when, mithter? ” he said scornfully.
uiug.30112045841498	“ But he give uth a hint or tho, and knowing Kiffin, we put two and two together, d’ye thee?
uiug.30112045841498	“ But now that you're better — what about these men?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Charming? ” Colstervine spread out his hands like a Frenchman and grew eloquent.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Did I really say we would go?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Did Kiffin tell you who it was that had this secret to tell?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Did n't I alwayth thay we thould get Kif- fin, mithter? ” he went on.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Did n't “ Did n't lothe no time, did he?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Do you think that message will really bring help? ” “ It'll bring help if it gets to Macpherson, ” I answered.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Do you think those men are armed? ” “ I guess they'll all have some particularly ugly knives, if they've nothing else,"I an- swered.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Do?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Fakoe there, when we come to it latht night, Barred Out 89 he knew thith plathe; been here before, had n't yer, Fakoe?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Four of'em?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Got that, Melchisedech? ” I asked at last.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Guns? ” he interrupted quickly.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Have any of you seen a man get away from the cottage? ” I asked, looking from one to the other.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Hm, luggage, now?
uiug.30112045841498	“ How could one get, say, a good- sized, old- fashioned port- manteau to this oasis?
uiug.30112045841498	“ How soon may we expect things to happen?-help to come? ”"Somewhere before sunrise, ” he replied, with cool confidence.
uiug.30112045841498	“ How to regain possession, you mean? ” I suggested.
uiug.30112045841498	“ I suppose you over- heard all that that Jew chap said just now?
uiug.30112045841498	“ I thought once how would it be if we gave — those four- some of Colstervine's stock of- say, whisky?
uiug.30112045841498	“ I wonder if this is a wise thing?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ I'm not without'em, master! ” “ Well? ” I said sharply.
uiug.30112045841498	“ If you'd only tell me what it's all about? ” I suggested.
uiug.30112045841498	“ If- if I go and talk to Kiffin, on your behalf — what are your terms?
uiug.30112045841498	“ In the meantime, what do you say to a drop of rum?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Is it easily approachable?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Is there nothing we can do? ” I exclaimed.
uiug.30112045841498	“ It's — if! ” “ Is there any reason why it should n't?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Ith Kiffin in hith right thentheth yet? ” “ Look here! ” said I- angrily, no doubt.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Jutht a word- on bith- neth? ” I purposely gave him what was meant to be a cool, supercilious, and somewhat prolonged inspection.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Kiffin? ” he muttered.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Kiffin? ” he said.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Look here, Mrs. Cresswell, ” he said, “ why should n't you and Dick go down there?
uiug.30112045841498	“ May I have a word with you, mithter? ” he asked, coaxingly.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Mean? ” I answered.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Not under a thafe conduct, mithter? ” he asked.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Now, ath regardth that cot- tage, mithter?-ith there food in it? ” “ Food! ” I exclaimed.
uiug.30112045841498	“ People in the village at the foot of the hill, for instance?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Planted, you under- stand?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Shall I put it more plainly? ” He turned then from the moon to me.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Sharp? ” “ Both, and more, master, ” said he.
uiug.30112045841498	“ So that's all, is it? ” I said at last.
uiug.30112045841498	“ So — you actually saw him arrive here? ” Greever gave me a calm and critical inspection.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Such ath I give you, jutht now?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ That it?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ That they had n't come to the end of what they could do?
uiug.30112045841498	“ That's the manner and notion of it, d'ye see?
uiug.30112045841498	“ That, master, is the question?
uiug.30112045841498	“ The whole story?
uiug.30112045841498	“ Their assurance?
uiug.30112045841498	“ There and then! ” “ Ai n't he a thmart un, mithter? ” demanded Melchisedech, rapturously.
uiug.30112045841498	“ They ai n't, neither?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Thinking about it? ” he answered, having previously spat vehemently on the grass at Melchisedech's feet.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Thwag! ” “ Swag? ” I said.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Wath you and your mithith think- ing about camping out in thith old quarry?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Well? ” I called across the intervening space.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Well? ” I repeated.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Well? ” I said curtly.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Well? ” said I.
uiug.30112045841498	“ What do we do now?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ What do you want with Kiffin? ” I demanded.
uiug.30112045841498	“ What might that be, now?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ What swag? ” “ Thwag that'th hidden away, thomewhere in thethe part'th, mithter, ” he answered.
uiug.30112045841498	“ What the deuce do you mean?
uiug.30112045841498	“ What was he so frightened about, then? ” I demanded.
uiug.30112045841498	“ What you do, eh? ” “ Telephoned to you, ” answered Greever.
uiug.30112045841498	“ What's it all mean? ” said Marjorie.
uiug.30112045841498	“ What? ” she exclaimed.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Where is this crystallisation of all that's perfect, Colstervine?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Where was elsewhere?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Where?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Why do n't you ask the poor man to sit down? ” I wondered then why I had n't.
uiug.30112045841498	“ Yes — what?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ Yes?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ You do n't hap- pen to know the name of the farmer? ” “ I do, then, master, ” he replied.
uiug.30112045841498	“ You heard that?
uiug.30112045841498	“ You see some- thing?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ You think he'd go straight back to the place where you got him?"
uiug.30112045841498	“ You're living in that little cottage, ai n't you, mithter? ” he answered, almost eagerly, and with the same wheedling smile.
uiug.30112045841498	“ “ Is your name Flint?"
uiug.30112045841498	“'Cause why?

osu.32435017655192	Could this indeed be the inferno into which she had been precipitated from the train in the darkness of the evening before?
osu.32435017655192	Dan, ai n’t this an eye- opener? ” “ It sure is, ” and the marshal crept cautiously for- ward.

osu.32435017655192	He expected me to show up then? ” “ I reckon as how he did, ” and Timmons grinned in drunken good humour.
osu.32435017655192	He had talked already more than he intended, but what was the difference?
osu.32435017655192	He has been killed? ” “ Yes; at least that is what every one believes, except possibly one man — his former valet.
osu.32435017655192	He hit me first. ” “ He was at that window, you say? ” “ Yes; kneelin ’ down like he was lookin'into the room.
osu.32435017655192	He often did things like that — hastily, on the spur of the moment. ” “ But what happened afterward? ” “ The rest is all theory.
osu.32435017655192	He s she got enything ter do with it? ” “ Not a thing, Timmons; but I want to keep her out of the hands of that bunch.
osu.32435017655192	He was found dead in his apartments, apparently killed by a burglar who had rifled his safe. ” “ Is this true?
osu.32435017655192	He'll git him, though. ” “ Get him? ” “ Sure — Bill will.
osu.32435017655192	He's only a tin- horn sport. ” “ Then it is the Other? ” “ Sure; he's the real thing.
osu.32435017655192	He's over there behind that tree — see the smoke?
osu.32435017655192	Here you — what happened? ” The fellow groaned, opened his eyes, and looked about dazedly.
osu.32435017655192	How are we fixed for ammunition? ” “ Blame pore, if yer ask me; not more'n twenty car- tridges atween us.
osu.32435017655192	How did he know about them?
osu.32435017655192	How did she like the palatial apartment? ” “ Well, she did n't say nothin’; just sorter looked around.
osu.32435017655192	How did you learn? ” “ I heard you talk to the men at the other end.
osu.32435017655192	How do you know? ” Her earnestness, her perfect acting, convinced him.
osu.32435017655192	How does that notion strike you? ” Westcott shook his head doubtfully, his eyes still on those distant specks.
osu.32435017655192	How far could she question the man before her?
osu.32435017655192	How had he discovered their participation in the affair?

osu.32435017655192	Is that the letter Miss La Rue left? ” He held it up in surprise, gazing at it through his glasses.

osu.32435017655192	It sounds blame good ter me, Jim; what d'ye say? ” Westcott's hand went out, and the fingers of the two men clasped silently.

osu.32435017655192	Tell me, when were you in New York? ” “ About a month ago. ” “ Well, did n't you see the Revue? ” “ The last one?
osu.32435017655192	Tell me, when were you in New York? ” “ About a month ago. ” “ Well, did n't you see the Revue? ” “ The last one?
osu.32435017655192	That all this has happened on account of my name? ” “ No doubt of it.
osu.32435017655192	That is true of you also, is it not? ” “ Yes, ” his voice lowered almost to a whisper.
osu.32435017655192	That sound's their boots scaling the wall. ” “ Ever been inside? ” “ Wunst, ter take some papers ter Lacy. ” “ Well, what's it like?
osu.32435017655192	That sound's their boots scaling the wall. ” “ Ever been inside? ” “ Wunst, ter take some papers ter Lacy. ” “ Well, what's it like?
osu.32435017655192	That's good common sense, ai n’t it? ” He stopped suddenly, patting his hand on the rock, and then lifting his head to scan the line of shore.
osu.32435017655192	The lady?
osu.32435017655192	The man who was with you, you mean?
osu.32435017655192	The row last night had re- vealed a mutual interèst between the men, but what was its nature?
osu.32435017655192	Then seeing the puz- zled look upon the valet's face, she said: “ Do n’t you re- member me?
osu.32435017655192	Then ther was others out with the cow herd. ” “ They had a bunch o'cattle? ” “ Maybe three hundred head, run in from Arizona.
osu.32435017655192	Then what are yer goin'back on me for, and the rest ov the boys, an ’ takin'sides along with a mur- derer?
osu.32435017655192	Then, did you notice?
osu.32435017655192	Then, why should Enright an his crowd come yere, unless that was a fact?
osu.32435017655192	There is danger, yet what is danger to Juan Cateras?
osu.32435017655192	There was nothing addressed to me? ” The hotel- keeper shook his head.
osu.32435017655192	Thet's what got Lacy down on yer. ” “ Yes; but what is it to you, and — and Mr. Sikes, here? ” Matt grinned.
osu.32435017655192	They — they relate to this man Ned Beaton and the woman he expects on this train. ” “ Your instructions? ” he echoed doubtfully.
osu.32435017655192	Tryin ’ ter keep it dark, was n't yer?
osu.32435017655192	Valois, ” she said kindly, “ would you mind if I asked you a question or two more? ” “ No, ” the man returned.
osu.32435017655192	Was ever a girl so lucky?
osu.32435017655192	Was not this rather the real fraud — this sudden change of heart?
osu.32435017655192	Was the brute who ordered you about Bill Lacy? ” “ I reckon it was, miss, ” doubtfully.
osu.32435017655192	Was this the true reason for Beaton's presence in Haskell, and also why the La Rue woman had been hastily sent for?
osu.32435017655192	We have been here together now longer than we should, and I must return to the hotel. ” “ You expect Beaton to seek you? ” She smiled.
osu.32435017655192	We scrapped it out. ” “ You — you scrapped it out?
osu.32435017655192	Well, what was the difference?
osu.32435017655192	Were those men plan- ning some new attempt?
osu.32435017655192	Whar do yer want ter go?
osu.32435017655192	Wharabouts are we, Matt? ” “ Back o ’ the bunk- house.
osu.32435017655192	What I want to know is — where are these two? ” “ Would you believe me if I said I did not know? ” “ No, Lacy.
osu.32435017655192	What I want to know is — where are these two? ” “ Would you believe me if I said I did not know? ” “ No, Lacy.
osu.32435017655192	What can I do?
osu.32435017655192	What connec- tion did Bill Lacy have with the gang?
osu.32435017655192	What could be happening out there?
osu.32435017655192	What could she do?
osu.32435017655192	What did Westcott know?
osu.32435017655192	What else could they have remained be- THE CAVE IN THE CLIFF 21Y hind for, except to hide and close the trail?
osu.32435017655192	What ever brought a girl like you down in here? ” She smiled.
osu.32435017655192	What had become of José?
osu.32435017655192	What had become of them?
osu.32435017655192	What had really become of the girl?
osu.32435017655192	What happened? ” “ Oh, nothing much.
osu.32435017655192	What is it you want? ” The man laughed, but made no move.
osu.32435017655192	What is that paper in your hand?
osu.32435017655192	What made yer ask me'bout Pasqual Mendez this mornin ’?
osu.32435017655192	What next? ” “ This: Enright told you who Stella Donovan was, and what he suspected her object might be.
osu.32435017655192	What possibility of hope lay in her own endeavours?
osu.32435017655192	What put that in your head? ” The Mexican rubbed the back of his pate.
osu.32435017655192	What should she do?
osu.32435017655192	What sort was she? ” “ An American, señor, young, and good to look at, ” the other man explained.
osu.32435017655192	What was it she was doing?
osu.32435017655192	What was the matter with you, anyhow? ” “ Sweetie would n't produce, or could n’t, rather.
osu.32435017655192	What was the probable meaning of this?
osu.32435017655192	What was the reason she had come in person in- stead of telephoning?
osu.32435017655192	What was wrong?
osu.32435017655192	What'd yer make o ’ that? ” Brennan never removed his gaze from the scene be- low, but his face was tense with interest.
osu.32435017655192	What's comin'now? ” It was the thud of a horse's hoofs being ridden rap- idly.
osu.32435017655192	What's her game, anyhow? ” “ Blessed if I know, ” and the proprietor seated himself on a high stool.
osu.32435017655192	What's that down below, Matt?
osu.32435017655192	What's that?
osu.32435017655192	What's the idea?
osu.32435017655192	What's up between yer, Jim?
osu.32435017655192	When did it happen? ” “ It must have been a month ago. ” “ But how did you learn these particulars?
osu.32435017655192	When did it happen? ” “ It must have been a month ago. ” “ But how did you learn these particulars?
osu.32435017655192	When did you come? ” “ Not more than two hours ago.
osu.32435017655192	When did you leave New York? ” “ Oh, more than a week ago, ” she lied gracefully.
osu.32435017655192	Where did they go?
osu.32435017655192	Where is Cateras? ”- “ In the valley, señor!
osu.32435017655192	Which one of yer is Mendez? ” “ He dead, señor, ” one fellow managed to answer in broken English.
osu.32435017655192	Who are you? ” “ I am Jim Westcott; do you remember me? ” The searching eyes evidenced no sense of recollection.
osu.32435017655192	Who are you? ” “ I am Jim Westcott; do you remember me? ” The searching eyes evidenced no sense of recollection.
osu.32435017655192	Who are you? ” “ We'll discuss that later.
osu.32435017655192	Who did he think I was? ” Miss La Rue bit her lip.
osu.32435017655192	Who do yer mean? ” “ A man named Cavendish. ” “ No, I reckon not. ” He turned back to the marshal.
osu.32435017655192	Who is he P ” “ His noime's Crowley; just a friend o'moine; mebbe yer know the lad? ” “ No; certainly not.
osu.32435017655192	Who told yer'bout me? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435017655192	Who was this Beaton, and what connection could he have with Bill Lacy ’s gang?
osu.32435017655192	Who would save her — Mendez?
osu.32435017655192	Who? ” “ Well, I do n’t just know that,'cept it was Matt Moore's team, an he wus drivin'it.
osu.32435017655192	Why did those people scheme to get me? ” “ Why!
osu.32435017655192	Why does he need you? ” “ Lack of nerve, I guess; he's out of his element in that country.
osu.32435017655192	Why have I never heard?
osu.32435017655192	Why not ask Timmons to show you the letter she left? ” “ I have already seen it.
osu.32435017655192	Why not?
osu.32435017655192	Why should it be — found in his apartments?
osu.32435017655192	Why then, should they hesitate to take her life, if they actually deemed it nec- essary to the final success of their plans?
osu.32435017655192	Why, how did you know? ” She hesitated for an instant, uncertain just how far it was best to confide in him.
osu.32435017655192	Why, then, should I conceal my eagerness?
osu.32435017655192	Why, what can you do?
osu.32435017655192	Why?
osu.32435017655192	Wo n't they take a hand? ” “ Maybe they might if I was free ter get ’em together; but I ai n’t.
osu.32435017655192	Yer was here hopin'ter see that New York girl, was n’t yer? ” “ Miss Donovan P Yes. ” “ I ’d forgot her name.
osu.32435017655192	Yer wa’n’t hurt, or nuthin', durin ’ the scrap? ”- “ No more than a few bruises, but it all happened so quickly I have n't any breath left.
osu.32435017655192	Yet why was the man Beaton out here?
osu.32435017655192	You ai n’t too nice to partake of a cocktail, are you?
osu.32435017655192	You are Mr. Cavendish? ” “ Yes, ” he admitted, his hands gripping the back of the bench nervously, his eyes filled with amazement.
osu.32435017655192	You are a detective? ” There must have been a tone of distrust to his voice, for she turned and faced him defiantly.
osu.32435017655192	You are in the newspaper business, ai n't you? ” “ Yes, ” realising further concealment was useless, “ but on my vacation.
osu.32435017655192	You been here long? ” “ Since yesterday; take the chair, please; I am used to the bed — no, really, I do n’t mind in the least.
osu.32435017655192	You came in under those conditions, did n't you? ” “ I reckon so, still there was n’t much to it when I came in.
osu.32435017655192	You do not mind waiting a moment? ” Cavendish shook his head, and rising, the attorney dis- appeared in the direction of the office.
osu.32435017655192	You do n’t mind if I smoke, do you?
osu.32435017655192	You expect Lacy? ” “ You know that also?
osu.32435017655192	You expect Lacy? ” “ You know that also?
osu.32435017655192	You hear? ” She crossed over and rested her hands on his arm.
osu.32435017655192	You intend delivering us up to the man Lacy as soon as he ar- rives? ” “ Yes, ” he admitted, “ but I hold no animosity — none.
osu.32435017655192	You know Beaton, do n't you? ” “ Well, hardly that.
osu.32435017655192	You liked it yourself. ” “ It is better adapted to that purpose — you are an actress then? ” “ Well, nobody ever said so.
osu.32435017655192	You may trust me, if you unbar the door. ” “ And if we refuse? ” “ We shall break in, and there will be no promise.
osu.32435017655192	You mean there was a fight over me — a barroom squabble over me? ” “ Not in the barroom; in the hotel office.
osu.32435017655192	You might kill me; I think that, yet how would it serve you?
osu.32435017655192	You never heard tell o'my hittin ’ anybody just fer fun, did yer? ” There was no answer.
osu.32435017655192	You saw the witch?
osu.32435017655192	You saw who was in the carriage? ” “ Beaton — yes, ” quietly.
osu.32435017655192	You see my position? ” Young Cavendish did n’t; this was all strange, confus- 1ng.
osu.32435017655192	You see that wagon over there?
osu.32435017655192	You think we stand this quietly?
osu.32435017655192	You understand?
osu.32435017655192	You ’ve got her number? ” “ Riverside 7683, ” Willis said in a businesslike voice.
osu.32435017655192	You're game fer a try at gettin'out o'yere, ai n't yer, old man?
osu.32435017655192	Y’re a man, ai n't yer?
osu.32435017655192	he went back down the passage with Silva after posting us here. ” “ And the prisoners? ” “ Occupy the two inner cells.
osu.32435017655192	man, where has he gone?
osu.32435017655192	so there is some fight left in you?
osu.32435017655192	“ About all in, Jim? ” he inquired understandingly.
osu.32435017655192	“ About your discharge? ” she queried after a time.
osu.32435017655192	“ Ai n’t that right?
osu.32435017655192	“ All Set? ” “ Sure. ” “ Well, keep awake, Joe, and mind what I told yer.
osu.32435017655192	“ All right”—and Timmons smiled blandly—“I got the money. ” “ And that was all, was it — just this note and the cash?
osu.32435017655192	“ And there has n’t been no killin ’? ” Enright shook his head.
osu.32435017655192	“ And you say Lacy can not get here before dark?
osu.32435017655192	“ And — has got away?
osu.32435017655192	“ Any chance to eat? ” he asked.
osu.32435017655192	“ Anything wrong?
osu.32435017655192	“ Are you Mr. Moore? ” He wheeled partly about, surprised into acknowledg- ment.
osu.32435017655192	“ Are you a man and ask that?
osu.32435017655192	“ Are you mad, man?
osu.32435017655192	“ Are you sure, ” he said to Cavendish, “ that the dead man is your cousin?
osu.32435017655192	“ Are you through? ” he questioned suddenly.
osu.32435017655192	“ But what about Fred? ” he asked breathless.
osu.32435017655192	“ But what be- came of my others, ” he asked, “ and of all the letters I wrote? ” DEAD OR ALIVE 83 “ That is exactly what I want to learn.
osu.32435017655192	“ But who slugged Burke? ” he asked.
osu.32435017655192	“ But why associate me with New York? ” “ You ca n't hide those things in a joint like this.
osu.32435017655192	“ But yer have n’t got nuthin’ on me. ” “ Oh, have n't I?
osu.32435017655192	“ But, ” he insisted, unable to clear his brain, “ why are you here?
osu.32435017655192	“ Ca n't I go, too? ” he began, but Farriss silenced him on the instant.
osu.32435017655192	“ Can we get through? ” “ Sure; some crowd, though.
osu.32435017655192	“ Cavendish, I suppose? ” The two nodded.
osu.32435017655192	“ Celeste, are you trimming me again? ” “ Do n’t be a fool! ” came back in subdued tones.
osu.32435017655192	“ Dead, sir, really dead? ” the late comer asked.
osu.32435017655192	“ Did a good job, too. ” “ A friend of mine? ” in surprise.
osu.32435017655192	“ Did he say anything about suddenly leaving the city for a trip West?
osu.32435017655192	“ Did n't feel no terbacco, did yer, Jim? ” the marshal questioned solicitously.
osu.32435017655192	“ Did n't wing yer, or nuthin’? ” “ No; the stove got the bullet.
osu.32435017655192	“ Did the woman wear any diamonds? ” she asked.
osu.32435017655192	“ Did you learn if there was any other prisoner there? ” “ Not that I heard of.
osu.32435017655192	“ Did — did he leave one? ” “ Oh!
osu.32435017655192	“ Do you believe Frederick Cavendish is dead? ” he asked suddenly.
osu.32435017655192	“ Do you hear that?
osu.32435017655192	“ Do you perceive now what this will means?
osu.32435017655192	“ Do you remember?
osu.32435017655192	“ Do you think that telegram is a fake?
osu.32435017655192	“ Do you think what goes on here is published to the world?
osu.32435017655192	“ Enright, you say?
osu.32435017655192	“ French?
osu.32435017655192	“ From New York? ” “ Sure, maybe you ’ve heard of him?
osu.32435017655192	“ From New York? ” “ Sure, maybe you ’ve heard of him?
osu.32435017655192	“ From my men; I am Pasqual Mendez. ” “ But you propose holding us prisoners?
osu.32435017655192	“ Getting bullish, are you, Matt? ” he said, rather softly.
osu.32435017655192	“ Goin'ter keep a close tongue in your head; so that's the game?
osu.32435017655192	“ Got yer cartridges tied up?
osu.32435017655192	“ Hard luck to come out here to meet Jim, an ’ run up against a totally different proposition — hey, miss? ” he said grimly.
osu.32435017655192	“ He must be away, I think. ” “ What you do if you no hear at all? ” “ We'll go on with the digging ourselves, José.
osu.32435017655192	“ He ’ll be here. ” “ Oh, will he?
osu.32435017655192	“ Hello, lieutenant?
osu.32435017655192	“ How iver come yer ter guess thot? ” “ I was sent here to meet you, ” she explained hur- riedly, as though eager to have her task done.
osu.32435017655192	“ How long was she in the apartment? ” she demanded sharply.
osu.32435017655192	“ Hurt eny? ” he asked.
osu.32435017655192	“ I am to go first? ” and his voice assumed polite def- erence.
osu.32435017655192	“ I presume you leave this in my care? ” he asked shortly.
osu.32435017655192	“ I — I do not know. ” “ Yet these things are true, are they not?
osu.32435017655192	“ I ’ve tried to remember that, ” he admitted regretfully, “ but it does n’t quite come to me. ” “ Was it Beaton? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435017655192	“ If I answer — what then? ” he growled desperately.
osu.32435017655192	“ In what manner can I satisfy your curiosity?
osu.32435017655192	“ In your care, señor?
osu.32435017655192	“ Is he dead? ” “ I do not know; but that man is not Cavendish. ” “ Not Cavendish!
osu.32435017655192	“ Is n't Ned here yet? ” “ Yes, all right, ” answered a muffled voice to the left.
osu.32435017655192	“ Is n’t that the best way? ” Celeste La Rue's voice was easily recognisable.
osu.32435017655192	“ Is that the note they say that New York young lady left? ” “ Yes, Sadie, ” in surprise.
osu.32435017655192	“ Is that you, Bren- man? ” The marshal hoisted himself to the top of the rock, the revolver in his hand clearly revealed in the bright sunlight.
osu.32435017655192	“ Is that you, Ned? ” “ Sure; what are you doing up at this hour? ” “ Never mind that.
osu.32435017655192	“ Is that you, Ned? ” “ Sure; what are you doing up at this hour? ” “ Never mind that.
osu.32435017655192	“ Is this you, Mr. Cassady? ” asked a woman's voice softly.
osu.32435017655192	“ It do n’t make no difference, does it, Joe? ” “ Not as I kin see, ” growled the other.
osu.32435017655192	“ It ’s across that sand flat. ” A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK 253 “ Shoshone? ” “ Yes; I could n’t remember the name.
osu.32435017655192	“ Lady a friend o'yours, Jim? ” he asked.
osu.32435017655192	“ Look at that mirror, will you, and those cracks in the wall?
osu.32435017655192	“ Looks as though they had enough of it, ” he said grimly, “ and have decided to starve us out. ” “ Oh, do you think so?
osu.32435017655192	“ Not by any of us. ” “ Then how about that dead man in New York — the one that was buried for Cavendish?
osu.32435017655192	“ Not hurt, are you?
osu.32435017655192	“ Now that I ’ve laid bare my past, ” he was saying, “ do n’t you think you might tell me why you are here? ” The girl stiffened.
osu.32435017655192	“ Of New York?
osu.32435017655192	“ Oh, is that you, Jim? ” he asked briefly.
osu.32435017655192	“ Protection from whom? ” he asked briefly.
osu.32435017655192	“ She ’s the one. ” “ Do you suppose Jim Westcott knew her before?
osu.32435017655192	“ So you thought the pocket trick was a new one out here, did you?
osu.32435017655192	“ Some hole, ai n’t it? ” “ I should say so, ” and Westcott dropped to his knees.
osu.32435017655192	“ Sure; we're just ter take keer of yer till he comes. ” “ Lacy? ” “ Er — some word from him, miss.
osu.32435017655192	“ Sure; you're a friend o'Jim Westcott, ai n't yer?
osu.32435017655192	“ Surely you do not mean she left without any ex- planation?
osu.32435017655192	“ Tell me, ” she insisted, “ has he been killed?

uiug.30112069651195	“ The other women?"
uiug.30112069651195	“ Then that accounts for the noise I heard—- ” “ Eh? ” queried Mr. Rattenbury sharply.
uiug.30112069651195	“ There was no need. ” “ No need? ” I repeated stupidly, swaying with weakness.
uiug.30112069651195	“ To what use have you designed it, sir? ” I asked, after a while spent in watching him.
uiug.30112069651195	“ We are nosing up the Solent fast — did you know it?

uiug.30112069651195	“ Who did this, little one? ” asked Corporal Sam, nodding toward the corpse, as he rubbed the charred dust from his hands.
uiug.30112069651195	“ Who doth not see the measures of the Moon?
uiug.30112069651195	“ Who goes there? ” challenged Mr. Pinsent again.
uiug.30112069651195	“ Who knocks? ” demanded a man ’s voice, some- what shrill and querulous.
uiug.30112069651195	“ Why has he been under arrest? ” “ Because the Marquis gave him an order and forgot it.
uiug.30112069651195	“ Why should I be met?
uiug.30112069651195	“ Why ‘ British ’?
uiug.30112069651195	“ You are the better for your rest? ” she asked.
uiug.30112069651195	“ You come from the Earl of Crawford? ” asked the general, not rising from his chair, but holding out a hand for the letter.
uiug.30112069651195	“ You did, did n’t you, Mike? ” appealed Mrs. Halloran.
uiug.30112069651195	“ You do n’t deserve to hear another word. ” “ Is there any more? ” “ More?

uiug.30112069651195	“ You?
uiug.30112069651195	“ You? ” he stuttered, clenching his thick fists.
uiug.30112069651195	“ ‘ How long have you been at work there, my man? ’ asks the Jew, still glancing up and down the road.
uiug.30112069651195	“ ‘ Leave my head alone, ca n’t you? ’ said the scarecrow.

inu.30000007086980	And you had no idea who it was?
inu.30000007086980	And you have since conducted an examination in collaboration with Dr. Grimbold of Scotland Yard?
inu.30000007086980	And you heard nothing in the night?
inu.30000007086980	And you saw Campbell go off in his car at 7.30 next morning?
inu.30000007086980	And you saw nobody else that night?
inu.30000007086980	And you wo n't be embarrassed?

inu.30000007086980	But deceased might have been killed through a heavy weight accidentally falling upon him?
inu.30000007086980	But did n't he mention anything about the money Lady Dormer was leaving to him?
inu.30000007086980	But do you think he has?
inu.30000007086980	But how did Robert know about Lady Dormer?
inu.30000007086980	But if we told the Yard where we were going, and 99 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 But is Betty telling the truth?"
inu.30000007086980	But really and truly, Wimsey, what is the evidence about the murder, if it is one? inu.30000007086980 But suppose the man went in to turn down the bed?"
inu.30000007086980	But the police do think that?
inu.30000007086980	But what did he die of?
inu.30000007086980	But what made you ask?
inu.30000007086980	But what was there to be scared of?
inu.30000007086980	But what's the matter?
inu.30000007086980	But why did n't she tell me what it was all about?
inu.30000007086980	But why do it in that brutal way?
inu.30000007086980	But why worry? inu.30000007086980 But why?"
inu.30000007086980	But you do n't think that now?
inu.30000007086980	But you do n't think the fellow who left that chain on the body is going to give himself away by coming here and inquiring about it?

inu.30000007086980	Did you like Miss Dorland, Nurse? inu.30000007086980 Did you notice whether he seemed specially feeble or tired that morning at all?"
inu.30000007086980	Did you put out the light?
inu.30000007086980	Did you see anybody there?
inu.30000007086980	Did you see him then?
inu.30000007086980	Did you see that? inu.30000007086980 Did you see that?"
inu.30000007086980	Did you see the General when you took the brandy?
inu.30000007086980	Did you speak to him?
inu.30000007086980	Did you visit the bathroom before turning in?
inu.30000007086980	Did you wish to see Mrs. Alcock?
inu.30000007086980	Did you? inu.30000007086980 Did you?
inu.30000007086980	Dining with him?
inu.30000007086980	Do I go to bed?
inu.30000007086980	Do I put out the light?
inu.30000007086980	Do I understand your lordship to be asking which hat Sir Reuben wore when he went out on Monday night, your lordship?
inu.30000007086980	Do you always keep everything in this satchel? inu.30000007086980 Do you anticipate any difficulty about the war- rant?"
inu.30000007086980	Do you believe the body could have been con- cealed in the flat after all?
inu.30000007086980	Do you consider yourself a decent man when you talk like that?
inu.30000007086980	Do you dare to suggest that I believe my husband to be guilty of murder?
inu.30000007086980	Do you expect it to last much longer?
inu.30000007086980	Do you hear that, Ferguson?
inu.30000007086980	Do you know anything about the man, Fentiman?
inu.30000007086980	Do you know where George is?
inu.30000007086980	Do you make anything of these, Parker?
inu.30000007086980	Do you mean he did n't even come home to his grub?
inu.30000007086980	Do you mean to say Freke got all that job finished before three in the morning?
inu.30000007086980	Do you mean to say that you invented all this story about Oliver, Lord Peter?
inu.30000007086980	Do you mean — I'm likely to be attacked?
inu.30000007086980	Do you mean,asked Mr. Murbles,"that you think my clients have a losing case?"
inu.30000007086980	Do you remember how nervous Penberthy was at the exhumation?
inu.30000007086980	Do you remember it?
inu.30000007086980	Do you remember whether the General had it with him when he last went out?
inu.30000007086980	Do you suspect this Oliver of something wrong?
inu.30000007086980	Do you think I might come in and wait?
inu.30000007086980	Do you think all this elaborate scheme could have been put together in a night, Wimsey?
inu.30000007086980	Do you think it wise, my lord, to use violence?
inu.30000007086980	Do you think she could possibly have given him too much? inu.30000007086980 Do you think so?
inu.30000007086980	Do you think so?
inu.30000007086980	Do you use rose madder?
inu.30000007086980	Do you work as fast as Campbell?
inu.30000007086980	Do your drawings of legs begin on the right- hand page or the left- hand page? inu.30000007086980 Do?"
inu.30000007086980	Does he so, sir? inu.30000007086980 Does he?"
inu.30000007086980	Does it matter? inu.30000007086980 Does n't fit what?"
inu.30000007086980	Does she? inu.30000007086980 Does this mean I've got to go back, Wimsey?"
inu.30000007086980	Does your woman cook for you? inu.30000007086980 Doing to myself?"
inu.30000007086980	Dozens, dear — such a dreadful place, the City, is n't it? inu.30000007086980 Drink?"
inu.30000007086980	Dyed his hair, did he?
inu.30000007086980	Eh? inu.30000007086980 Else why should he have sent that clerk of his to spy on you and George Fentiman?
inu.30000007086980	Everything's pretty hateful, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	Excuse me, my lord; is this gentleman Detec- tive- Inspector Parker?
inu.30000007086980	Fasten what?
inu.30000007086980	Father Whittington, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	Fentiman,he said,"what would you give at this moment for your chance of that half- million?"
inu.30000007086980	Fentiman? inu.30000007086980 Ferguson?"
inu.30000007086980	Ferguson?
inu.30000007086980	Find? inu.30000007086980 Finger- prints, my lord?"
inu.30000007086980	Finger- prints?
inu.30000007086980	First you 301 The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club wanted to defraud me, and now you're trying to"To what?
inu.30000007086980	For a what?' inu.30000007086980 Funny sort of place for a tramp to hang around, is n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	General Fentiman?
inu.30000007086980	George? inu.30000007086980 Gone away?"
inu.30000007086980	Good God, you're not trying to fasten anything on Woodward?
inu.30000007086980	Good Lord, Wimsey — this rot about Campbell is n't serious, really?
inu.30000007086980	Good heavens, man, 67 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 Good lord,"said Wimsey,"how do these things get into the papers?"
inu.30000007086980	Good?
inu.30000007086980	Got your story in?
inu.30000007086980	Gowan's away, is n't he? inu.30000007086980 H'm,"said the Sergeant, struck by an idea,"could ye let me have a look at your own bicycle, ma'am?"
inu.30000007086980	H, a, double-1?
inu.30000007086980	Had a good day, Bunter?
inu.30000007086980	Had he ever attacked him?
inu.30000007086980	Had he said anything aboot that airlier?
inu.30000007086980	Had it the same shape and appearance as his ordinary pills?
inu.30000007086980	Had n't you? inu.30000007086980 Had she any friends with her at the time?"
inu.30000007086980	Had you at that time told any one about this comic will of Lady Dormer's?
inu.30000007086980	Half a moment,broke in Wimsey,"did he say all this to you in the taxi that day?"
inu.30000007086980	Has Miss Dorland a mind above hectic passion?
inu.30000007086980	Has Mr. Campbell visited at the house recently?
inu.30000007086980	Has he made any statement?
inu.30000007086980	Has it? inu.30000007086980 Has the doctor seem him?"
inu.30000007086980	Has this detective vouchsafed any explanation of his extraordinary behaviour, in keeping us in the dark for nearly a fortnight as to his movements?
inu.30000007086980	Has — onything happened?
inu.30000007086980	Have n't I told you that I did n't want to attract atten- tion? inu.30000007086980 Have n't you got feelings?"
inu.30000007086980	Have n't you, by jove? inu.30000007086980 Have n't you?
inu.30000007086980	Have the witnesses signed the labels?
inu.30000007086980	Have they been brushed?
inu.30000007086980	Have they been cleaned since?
inu.30000007086980	Have they found anything?
inu.30000007086980	Have ye noo?
inu.30000007086980	Have you an appointment, sir?
inu.30000007086980	Have you and Horner noticed anything queer?
inu.30000007086980	Have you any Scotch blood in you, Parker?
inu.30000007086980	Have you been borrowing push- bikes?
inu.30000007086980	Have you broken the news to Lady Dormer?
inu.30000007086980	Have you cautioned this witness, officer?
inu.30000007086980	Have you come to arrest me?
inu.30000007086980	Have you finished in the dining- room?
inu.30000007086980	Have you finished?
inu.30000007086980	Have you got her name, by any chance?
inu.30000007086980	Have you got such a thing as a hot- water bottle?
inu.30000007086980	Have you got the old lady to bed?
inu.30000007086980	Have you opened this?
inu.30000007086980	Have you searched his pockets?
inu.30000007086980	Have you seen the men he dined with?
inu.30000007086980	Have you still got that note?
inu.30000007086980	Have you, where?
inu.30000007086980	Have you? inu.30000007086980 Having received orders,"he began,"to make an inquiry""But you have n't received orders to make a mystery, have you?"
inu.30000007086980	He didna say for London?
inu.30000007086980	He is actually in gaol, then?
inu.30000007086980	He told you so?
inu.30000007086980	He was a great friend of yours, was n't he?
inu.30000007086980	He was having a one- man show in London this autumn, was n't he?
inu.30000007086980	He was not bluish about the lips, or breathing very heavily, or anything of that kind?
inu.30000007086980	He's a good solicitor, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	Him? inu.30000007086980 Him?
inu.30000007086980	His voice was n't familiar?
inu.30000007086980	How about Crimplesham's pince- nez?
inu.30000007086980	How about a drink, Colonel?
inu.30000007086980	How about starting to- night and getting as far as Oddenino's and going on to a show — if you're not doing anything?
inu.30000007086980	How about the bicycle?
inu.30000007086980	How about the contents of the stomach?
inu.30000007086980	How about the first possibility of all, misunder- standing or accident?
inu.30000007086980	How are you, dear?
inu.30000007086980	How are you?
inu.30000007086980	How can I go? inu.30000007086980 How could the man incriminate himself when he never did anything in his life?
inu.30000007086980	How d'you get hold of it?
inu.30000007086980	How did I? Oh- ho! inu.30000007086980 How did she come to be Lady Dormer?"
inu.30000007086980	How did she walk?
inu.30000007086980	How did you come?
inu.30000007086980	How did you get on yesterday?
inu.30000007086980	How did you miss him in Kirkcudbright? inu.30000007086980 How do you know that?"
inu.30000007086980	How do you know?
inu.30000007086980	How do you mean, comfortable together?
inu.30000007086980	How do you mean?
inu.30000007086980	How do you mean?
inu.30000007086980	How do, Mother?
inu.30000007086980	How have you managed not to hear about it, Jock?
inu.30000007086980	How long after was that?
inu.30000007086980	How long did you stay on at the house after Lady Dormer died?
inu.30000007086980	How long did you take getting to bed first and last?
inu.30000007086980	How long has she been so upset?
inu.30000007086980	How long would a big dose like that take to act?
inu.30000007086980	How on earth is his handwriting going to tell you when he pegged out?
inu.30000007086980	How on earth?—confound it all, Wimsey, are you behind this infernal watch that's being kept on me?
inu.30000007086980	How should I know? inu.30000007086980 How soon do you think you'll be able to take action?"
inu.30000007086980	How the hell should I remember?
inu.30000007086980	How will Strachan get back tae his car, sir? inu.30000007086980 How's Andy?"
inu.30000007086980	How's Bunter getting on with those calls?
inu.30000007086980	How's that?
inu.30000007086980	How? inu.30000007086980 How?"
inu.30000007086980	However favourable or unfavourable it may be?
inu.30000007086980	Hullo, Mother — that you?
inu.30000007086980	Hullo?
inu.30000007086980	Husband?
inu.30000007086980	I beg your lordship's pardon?
inu.30000007086980	I could n't think — who else — But you know they suspect me?
inu.30000007086980	I did my best to do so,said Parker,"as soon as I was called in to the Levy case —""Who called you in, if I may ask?"
inu.30000007086980	I do n't use the downstairs rooms much, except 137 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 I expect it would seem very pitiful to a young lady like Miss Dorland?"
inu.30000007086980	I have been the victim of a vulgar attempt at 110 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 I know what 148 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	I know — isn't that exactly what I'm saying? inu.30000007086980 I may go now?
inu.30000007086980	I mean, at what time?
inu.30000007086980	I might have known you'd be on to it,he gasped,"but it was a damn good joke, was n't it?
inu.30000007086980	I refuse to do more than Opportunity and Motive( query?).
inu.30000007086980	I say — where's Robert?
inu.30000007086980	I say, Parker, these are funny cases, ai n't they? inu.30000007086980 I say, is Wimsey here?
inu.30000007086980	I say, old man,he said suddenly, as Parker was 162 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	I say,he said at last,"I did know all that, did n't I?"
inu.30000007086980	I say,said the latter gentleman,"has somebody done something really wicked at last?
inu.30000007086980	I says, finni? inu.30000007086980 I suppose he really had been through the place already?"
inu.30000007086980	I suppose no dead body would be delivered to the hospital without your knowledge, Sir Julian?
inu.30000007086980	I suppose the police are engaged in following up a clew — or have we reached the point when they are completely baffled? inu.30000007086980 I suppose you do n't know anything about Peru- vian Oil, do you?"
inu.30000007086980	I suppose you've seen to it that all this business is kept quiet?
inu.30000007086980	I take it Murbles told you I was lookin'into the business, what? inu.30000007086980 I was thinking, how about lunch?
inu.30000007086980	I wonder if anybody else noticed that?
inu.30000007086980	I'd better pop 77 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 I've been so horribly ashamed""Well, you are n't any more, are you?"
inu.30000007086980	If I had, would you have cared to hush the matter up?
inu.30000007086980	If he did n't fix up the old boy's body, who did? inu.30000007086980 If he had n't gone butting in""Robert Fentiman?"
inu.30000007086980	If, for example, the deceased had been looking out 130 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 Important?"
inu.30000007086980	In case the estate vanishes in costs? inu.30000007086980 In fact, it struck Tommy Pringle and his friend that this was something a little out of the way in a workhouse subject?"
inu.30000007086980	In the two- seater?
inu.30000007086980	In what way?
inu.30000007086980	In your opinion, could the blow have been self- inflicted?
inu.30000007086980	Indeed, my lord? inu.30000007086980 Indeed, my lord?
inu.30000007086980	Indeed, my lord?
inu.30000007086980	Indeed, sir?
inu.30000007086980	Indeed? inu.30000007086980 Indeed?"
inu.30000007086980	Is Miss Dorland at home?
inu.30000007086980	Is Mr. Crimplesham really as old as that?
inu.30000007086980	Is William Watts present?
inu.30000007086980	Is he a police officer?
inu.30000007086980	Is he dead, dear?
inu.30000007086980	Is he indeed?
inu.30000007086980	Is he married?
inu.30000007086980	Is it a good one?
inu.30000007086980	Is it all over?
inu.30000007086980	Is it decent to believe vile things of other people?
inu.30000007086980	Is it no,said Macpherson,"a wee thing too simple?
inu.30000007086980	Is it quick work with a knife?
inu.30000007086980	Is n't he?
inu.30000007086980	Is n't he?
inu.30000007086980	Is n't it queer?
inu.30000007086980	Is n't it supposed to be rather fugitive?
inu.30000007086980	Is n't she?
inu.30000007086980	Is n't that one of those questions which you are not sup- posed to ask, nor I to answer?
inu.30000007086980	Is that Inspector Macpherson of Kirk- kud- brite?
inu.30000007086980	Is that Mr. Parker? inu.30000007086980 Is that a threat?"
inu.30000007086980	Is that all?
inu.30000007086980	Is that his walking- stick?
inu.30000007086980	Is that right?
inu.30000007086980	Is that right?
inu.30000007086980	Is that so?
inu.30000007086980	Is that so?
inu.30000007086980	Is that the Arbuthnot of the diary?
inu.30000007086980	Is that the lot?
inu.30000007086980	Is that the man who takes the photographs for you when you are on a crime- hunt?
inu.30000007086980	Is that what he did? inu.30000007086980 Is that you, Wimsey?
inu.30000007086980	Is the fellow a sahib?
inu.30000007086980	Is there anybody in the street?
inu.30000007086980	Is this it?
inu.30000007086980	Is this the spanner?
inu.30000007086980	Is this you?
inu.30000007086980	Is't Gowan's spanner to your way of thinkin'?
inu.30000007086980	Is't you, Sir Maxwell? inu.30000007086980 It didna strike ye as unusual in any way?"
inu.30000007086980	It is,said Wimsey,"and jolly useful when you want to take a good squint at somethin'and look like 38 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	It might throw some light on the time he ar- rived in the morning, might n't it?
inu.30000007086980	It usually is a man, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	It was not as large as the dose afterwards found in the body?
inu.30000007086980	It would not be possible, I suppose, for you to have made a mistake in dispensing? inu.30000007086980 It's a miserable fire,"said George, gloomily,"is this all the coal there is?"
inu.30000007086980	It's a suspicious circumstance, is n't it? inu.30000007086980 It's all right — I — might I have a drink of water?"
inu.30000007086980	It's gone again, has it?
inu.30000007086980	Jeanie? inu.30000007086980 Jump?
inu.30000007086980	Killed? inu.30000007086980 Killed?"
inu.30000007086980	Lady Dormer was conscious, then?
inu.30000007086980	Lady Dormer"Did the marriage turn out well otherwise?
inu.30000007086980	Leaving the nurse there?
inu.30000007086980	Let's go and look at Levy's hats, shall we? inu.30000007086980 Like dramatists, you know — so much easier in Shake- speare's time, was n't it?
inu.30000007086980	Like to hear it, Charles?
inu.30000007086980	Listen — over there — listen — can't you hear it?
inu.30000007086980	Little sunbeam about the house, is n't he?
inu.30000007086980	Lobster and champagne?
inu.30000007086980	Look here, Bunter,said Wimsey,"could you not cut out some of the fancy adjectives and say plainly what the face was like?"
inu.30000007086980	Look here, Farren, what the devil are you talking about?
inu.30000007086980	Look here, Inspector,said Lord Peter,"what's the use of bein'so bally obstructive?
inu.30000007086980	Look here, Wimsey — you're not suggesting anything? inu.30000007086980 Look here, old horse,"said Wimsey,"you've seen this magneto before, I fancy?"
inu.30000007086980	Look here, shall I have to say who I was lunching with? inu.30000007086980 Look here, what's the meaning of all this?
inu.30000007086980	Look here,said Strachan, still motionless in the down- pour,"what are you going to do?"
inu.30000007086980	Looked anywhere else? inu.30000007086980 Married?"
inu.30000007086980	May I ask the meaning of this extraordinary ques- tion?
inu.30000007086980	May I ask what was the result of your examina- tion?
inu.30000007086980	May I see it?
inu.30000007086980	May I venture to ask if it is a promising case, my lord?
inu.30000007086980	Me? inu.30000007086980 Meaning, did I leave about 10.30?
inu.30000007086980	Meanwhile,said Wimsey,"what do you pro- pose to do about it?"
inu.30000007086980	Messing about with bottles?
inu.30000007086980	Might not X,he suggested,"be an enemy of Crimplesham's, who designed to throw suspicion upon him?"
inu.30000007086980	Miss Dorland got up and said'How do you do, General Fentiman?' inu.30000007086980 Miss Dorland — may I be impertinent?"
inu.30000007086980	Monday night? inu.30000007086980 Mornin', Rogers, how are you?"
inu.30000007086980	Mr. John P. Milligan, my lord, and —"Good God, Bunter, why did n't you say so before? inu.30000007086980 Murdered?
inu.30000007086980	Murdered?
inu.30000007086980	My dear Mrs. Farren, will you believe me when I say that all men — the best and the worst alike — have these moments of rebellion and distaste? inu.30000007086980 My dear Wimsey, do you think I'm a fool?"
inu.30000007086980	My dear man, you're being very discreet, are n't you? inu.30000007086980 My lord?"
inu.30000007086980	Never came home?—Where was he, then?
inu.30000007086980	Never went there?
inu.30000007086980	No drops or tabloids or anything of that kind?
inu.30000007086980	No idea of who might have done it, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	No telephone memorandum or anything — you've tried the telephone- book, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	No — why should you?
inu.30000007086980	No, I ai n't,said Lord Peter, sleepily,"uncom- mon good incident for a detective story, though, what?
inu.30000007086980	No, but —"Look here, Wimsey — do you think he has mur- dered Levy?
inu.30000007086980	No, did we? inu.30000007086980 No, what?"
inu.30000007086980	No,said Lord Peter,"but will you give Sir Julian my card?
inu.30000007086980	No? inu.30000007086980 No?
inu.30000007086980	No? inu.30000007086980 No?
inu.30000007086980	No?
inu.30000007086980	No?
inu.30000007086980	Noo, Mr. Gowan, wull ye please tell me when an'where ye last saw Mr. Campbell that's deid, an'for why ye fled fra'Scotland in disguise?
inu.30000007086980	Noo, takin'everything intae consideration, I am of the opeenion that oor inquiries should be directit tae the move- ments o'Mr. Farren, and for why? inu.30000007086980 Nor anything about the General?"
inu.30000007086980	Not a very lively house, is it, for a young girl like yourself?
inu.30000007086980	Not really?
inu.30000007086980	Not specially, I'm afraid — why?
inu.30000007086980	Nothing about the body struck you as queer?
inu.30000007086980	Nothing on the bedside table or the mantel- piece?
inu.30000007086980	Nothing was said about the will?
inu.30000007086980	Now then,said this apparition,"what's the meaning of this?"
inu.30000007086980	Now — have you got that lamp, Mr. Wingate? inu.30000007086980 Now, General Fentiman had got heart disease already, had n't he?
inu.30000007086980	Now, can you tell us what time you did get in?
inu.30000007086980	Now, if I might have this blanket on the table and another on a towel- horse or something of that kind by way of a background — 65 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 Now, why should he take it away?
inu.30000007086980	Odd sort of fish, your employer, is n't he?
inu.30000007086980	Of course not; you've sent for a bloke in a boiled shirt to take your place, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	Of suspense, shall we say?
inu.30000007086980	Oh — does he come in'The Last Days of Pom- peii'?
inu.30000007086980	Oh — well, what size of sketch?
inu.30000007086980	Oh!—will she be long?
inu.30000007086980	Oh, Ferguson was there, was he?
inu.30000007086980	Oh, Gowan? inu.30000007086980 Oh, I say, really?"
inu.30000007086980	Oh, Lord Peter, do tell me, what really has happened? inu.30000007086980 Oh, Throgmorton, yes?"
inu.30000007086980	Oh, do you think you can really get it settled?
inu.30000007086980	Oh, does he? inu.30000007086980 Oh, hell!—the operator did n't happen to notice the bloke, I suppose?"
inu.30000007086980	Oh, is it? inu.30000007086980 Oh, it was a man, then?"
inu.30000007086980	Oh, that's the subject, is it?
inu.30000007086980	Oh, they're saying that, are they? inu.30000007086980 Oh, well — is it to- morrow morning you're thinking of?"
inu.30000007086980	Oh, why?
inu.30000007086980	Oh, you've been to the Bull at Brough? inu.30000007086980 Oh, you've heard all about that?"
inu.30000007086980	Oh? inu.30000007086980 Oh?
inu.30000007086980	Oh?
inu.30000007086980	Oh?
inu.30000007086980	Oh?
inu.30000007086980	Oh?
inu.30000007086980	Oliver?
inu.30000007086980	On Monday afternoon? inu.30000007086980 On Wednesday, perhaps?"
inu.30000007086980	On his two legs?
inu.30000007086980	On the train? inu.30000007086980 Only 221 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	Or is he working?
inu.30000007086980	Or is it scarves this morning?
inu.30000007086980	Ought n't we to consult about the whole thing with Murbles first?
inu.30000007086980	Our own sappers,he said;"sure of that?"
inu.30000007086980	Passing through Kirkcudbright?
inu.30000007086980	Penberthy?
inu.30000007086980	Perhaps you would wish to speak to Hammond?
inu.30000007086980	Peter,she said,"is that your ague coming on again?
inu.30000007086980	Plot?
inu.30000007086980	Poisoning is a beastly crime, do n't you think?
inu.30000007086980	Portraits?
inu.30000007086980	Possibly of some danger?
inu.30000007086980	Pritchard? inu.30000007086980 Pulled out?
inu.30000007086980	Reconstruct the crime?
inu.30000007086980	Reconstructing the accident, my lord?
inu.30000007086980	Robert Fentiman was actually staying in the Club at the time, was n't he?
inu.30000007086980	Robert? inu.30000007086980 Satisfied?"
inu.30000007086980	Say now, Lord Peter,said Mr. Milligan,"can I do anything for you?"
inu.30000007086980	Seems almost unbelievable, do n't it? inu.30000007086980 Sha n't I be in the way?"
inu.30000007086980	Shall I go?
inu.30000007086980	Shall I tell Mrs. McLeod to let you sleep in, as they say? inu.30000007086980 Shall we find any other friends at the Yard?"
inu.30000007086980	She was never alone with him?
inu.30000007086980	She's a painter, is n't she?
inu.30000007086980	She?
inu.30000007086980	Sir Reuben Levy? inu.30000007086980 So how can we tell?"
inu.30000007086980	So it's you, is it? inu.30000007086980 So you got to Carlisle?"
inu.30000007086980	Someone writin'pretty things to you, what?
inu.30000007086980	Sorry, Mother, I ca n't hear; found what, where?
inu.30000007086980	Spied on?
inu.30000007086980	Starting at 7.30?
inu.30000007086980	Starting from scratch?
inu.30000007086980	Stimulant? inu.30000007086980 Sugg?"
inu.30000007086980	Suppose anybody had listened at the door afterwards — could they have heard what was said?
inu.30000007086980	Sure I am not interrupting you, Lubbock?
inu.30000007086980	Surely, Mrs. Farren, you must know that your husband is, or may be, a valuable witness in the Campbell case?
inu.30000007086980	Taking it straight out of Nellie's hands? inu.30000007086980 Taking the 10.56 from Gatehouse, you mean?"
inu.30000007086980	Tea or cocoa, or something like that, do you mean?
inu.30000007086980	Tell his lordship I'll be with him in half an hour,85 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	Tell me, then, how many hundred people in the county, besides Jock, knew that Campbell meant to go up to the Minnoch on Tuesday?
inu.30000007086980	Thanks,said Lord Peter;"and you might find me my catalogue, would you?
inu.30000007086980	That came as a shock to Miss Dorland, did it?
inu.30000007086980	That explains a lot, does n't it?
inu.30000007086980	That fellow Freeman is full of plots about poisonings and wills and survivorship, is n't he?
inu.30000007086980	That involved some severe mental exercise?
inu.30000007086980	That looks all right —202 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	That man — 291 The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club what's his name's — joke about Palmer, and knock- ing over the jar?
inu.30000007086980	That man? inu.30000007086980 That reminds me,"said Wimsey,"how about the young man they detained at Stranraer?"
inu.30000007086980	That was an odd thing for you to think, was it not?
inu.30000007086980	That was it, was it? inu.30000007086980 That you, Penberthy?
inu.30000007086980	That you, Wimsey? inu.30000007086980 That you, old man?
inu.30000007086980	That'll come to- morrow, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	That's all right, Penberthy, but when — just when — did it happen?
inu.30000007086980	That's good enough, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	That's high treason, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	That's in 196 Whose Body? inu.30000007086980 That's your idea of amusement, is it?"
inu.30000007086980	That's your idea, is it, Bunter? inu.30000007086980 The Munns female?"
inu.30000007086980	The body?
inu.30000007086980	The place was more or less forced on the murderer, was it not, by Campbell's expressed intention of painting there that day?
inu.30000007086980	The police? inu.30000007086980 The second car — when would it have got in?
inu.30000007086980	The story tallies all right, what?
inu.30000007086980	The thing they had such a job to get past the censor? inu.30000007086980 Then he was n't at home last night for dinner?"
inu.30000007086980	Then run and give Hammond my message — unless the Inspector wants to ask you anything further?
inu.30000007086980	Then that was a bond of union between us, was n't it?
inu.30000007086980	Then the man was a pauper from the work- house?
inu.30000007086980	Then where was he? inu.30000007086980 Then why ca n't I remember all the medical stuff?
inu.30000007086980	Then why could n't my husband believe it?
inu.30000007086980	Then, sir, the fare says to me,'Do you know the Bellona Club in Piccadilly?' inu.30000007086980 There must be something funny about Oliver, anyway, must n't there?
inu.30000007086980	There was nothing unusual in them?
inu.30000007086980	There's only one thing I do n't understand,said the Chief Constable;"why did n't you start out earlier from the Minnoch?
inu.30000007086980	They are, are they? inu.30000007086980 They're burying him to- morrow, are n't they?"
inu.30000007086980	Thick or clear, sir?
inu.30000007086980	Think there's something in it?
inu.30000007086980	Thinking of your certificate?
inu.30000007086980	Thipps? inu.30000007086980 Thipps?"
inu.30000007086980	This alters the look of things a bit,said Parker,"does n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	This fellow — was it Penberthy, by the way?
inu.30000007086980	Three years? inu.30000007086980 Thursday — what did I do on Thursday?
inu.30000007086980	To Harley Street?
inu.30000007086980	To invent something, you mean? inu.30000007086980 To look at?"
inu.30000007086980	To match the fragment of thread I got off the corpse's right boot? inu.30000007086980 To the Savile Club, sir?"
inu.30000007086980	Two nights?
inu.30000007086980	Under what circumstances?
inu.30000007086980	Undoubted heart trouble, of course, I do n't see any unusual appear- ances, do you? inu.30000007086980 Up at Loch Trool, is he?
inu.30000007086980	Urn!—but why should George be such a fool, then, as to admit he'd never heard about Lady Dormer's will? inu.30000007086980 Very weak, of course?'
inu.30000007086980	Very well,said the detective,"is it to be you or me or both of us?"
inu.30000007086980	Wad they no?
inu.30000007086980	Wake Duncan with thy knocking? inu.30000007086980 Walk?"
inu.30000007086980	Walkin'about in- visible and tryin'hard to communicate, like the unfortunate ghost in that story of somebody or other's?
inu.30000007086980	Want me, Fred?
inu.30000007086980	Want?
inu.30000007086980	Wants bucking up, what? inu.30000007086980 Was Miss Dorland present at the interview between your patient and her brother?"
inu.30000007086980	Was death instantaneous, in your opinion?
inu.30000007086980	Was he decent?
inu.30000007086980	Was he drowned?
inu.30000007086980	Was he, by Jove? inu.30000007086980 Was he?
inu.30000007086980	Was it Farren?
inu.30000007086980	Was it Fentiman, do you think?
inu.30000007086980	Was it the day after that, that Penberthy — er — said things to you?
inu.30000007086980	Was n't he with you?
inu.30000007086980	Was nobody in the house but Sir Reuben and the servants?
inu.30000007086980	Was she happy?
inu.30000007086980	Was that a lucky shot, or did you mean it?
inu.30000007086980	Was that all they said?
inu.30000007086980	Was that all? inu.30000007086980 Was that the last you heard of him?"
inu.30000007086980	Was the front door bolted?
inu.30000007086980	Was there? inu.30000007086980 Was your family alarmed by your being out all night?"
inu.30000007086980	We saw a Daily Mail at Larne on Thursday morning and I got an Express in Glasgow this afternoon, but I ca n't say I read them very carefully; why?
inu.30000007086980	We?
inu.30000007086980	Wee), noo, Mr. Parker,said the Inspector, deferen- ts Chief Inspector Parker tially,"do ye think we have enough evidence tae arrest him?"
inu.30000007086980	Weel, noo, Mr. Alcock, juist a pure formality, ye understand, whit time did Mr. Gowan leave Kirkcudbright on Monday nicht?
inu.30000007086980	Weel, when did he return?
inu.30000007086980	Well now,said the Chief Constable,"do you mind telling me what was in the note?
inu.30000007086980	Well that brings us back to the old question: Why the delay?
inu.30000007086980	Well — I and my women, what about it? inu.30000007086980 Well, Jock, what could she think?
inu.30000007086980	Well, but why mention it at all?
inu.30000007086980	Well, do n't you notice it yourself, sir? inu.30000007086980 Well, how goes it?"
inu.30000007086980	Well, if you do n't, I shall know your opinion, sha n't I?
inu.30000007086980	Well, it would be conceivable, would n't it?
inu.30000007086980	Well, nine times out of ten he has done it — in real life, that is — hasn't he? inu.30000007086980 Well, no — I ca n't very well ring up perfect strangers and —""And sing'em the Froth- Blowers'Anthem?
inu.30000007086980	Well, now,said Wimsey,"what about it?"
inu.30000007086980	Well, surely he told people — didn't he?
inu.30000007086980	Well, tell me — is it one mystery or two?
inu.30000007086980	Well, then, we come back to the first question: Why did Levy go there?
inu.30000007086980	Well, then?
inu.30000007086980	Well, there are other charwomen, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	Well, what I mean to say is, do n't you know, would n't it be rather a good thing if the parties could be got to come to terms? inu.30000007086980 Well, what did the'blighter do?"
inu.30000007086980	Well, what does he say?
inu.30000007086980	Well, why ca n't you see that she does? inu.30000007086980 Well, why ca n't you?"
inu.30000007086980	Well, why not? inu.30000007086980 Well,"said Lord Peter,"have the altars reeled?"
inu.30000007086980	Well,said Lord Peter,"if he only murdered me you could still hang him — what's the good of wasting a sound, marriageable young male like yourself?
inu.30000007086980	Well,said Parker, silenced but reluctant,"why ca n't I go, in that case?"
inu.30000007086980	Well?
inu.30000007086980	Well?
inu.30000007086980	Well?
inu.30000007086980	Well?
inu.30000007086980	Were people there all morning, sir? inu.30000007086980 Were they?
inu.30000007086980	Were you at that time of the opinion that Farren had committed a murder?

inu.30000007086980	You did not stop at all?
inu.30000007086980	You do n't mean that, seriously?
inu.30000007086980	You do n't mean — you do n't mean there's any- thing funny about the death? inu.30000007086980 You do n't object, then, to my casting out devils with a syringe,"he said,"when they have proved obdurate to prayer and fasting?"

inu.30000007086980	You do n't think he never was here at all, do you, Bunter?
inu.30000007086980	You do n't think he's permanently — insane, then?
inu.30000007086980	You do n't think, then, that Ann Dorland did the murder?
inu.30000007086980	You feel bound to carry it through?
inu.30000007086980	You had better ask who did not?
inu.30000007086980	You have a colleague in the case?
inu.30000007086980	You have n't detained Miss Dorland?
inu.30000007086980	You have n't? inu.30000007086980 You have not yet completed the course of action on which you have decided?"
inu.30000007086980	You mean, had he been poisoned before he came to me? inu.30000007086980 You regard all these things as physical?"
inu.30000007086980	You see how I'm bullied by my own man, Parker? inu.30000007086980 You think that?"
inu.30000007086980	You think the body was interfered with?
inu.30000007086980	You understand what you have to do, do n't you?
inu.30000007086980	You want to see the studio?
inu.30000007086980	You were making chemical experiments — although Lady Dormer was so ill?
inu.30000007086980	You were still engaged when Lady Dormer died, I take it?
inu.30000007086980	You were the first medical man to see the de- ceased?
inu.30000007086980	You were there?
inu.30000007086980	You will excuse me if I run off and speak to some of these other people, wo n't you?
inu.30000007086980	You will undertake to solve it for us then, Lord Peter?

inu.30000007086980	You've found no mention of him in any of the General's papers?
inu.30000007086980	You've got rather a weakness for George Fentiman, have n't you?

inu.30000007086980	At some later time, he must have come back, collected his own car with the body in it, and — well, what?
inu.30000007086980	B. C. Jones — May Sinclair — Katherine Mansfield — the modern female writers are well represented, are n't they?

inu.30000007086980	Be- sides, how about old Levy?
inu.30000007086980	Beastly nuisance, ai n't it?
inu.30000007086980	Beautiful, is n't it, Dr. Colegrove?
inu.30000007086980	Because you could n't very well refuse to go without confessing that there was no such person as Oliver?"

inu.30000007086980	Besides, why three?
inu.30000007086980	Bit of a startler, is n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	Bless me, you're going to do our little job in the professional manner, eh?

inu.30000007086980	Bugs?"
inu.30000007086980	Bunter!—Oh, and, I say, Woodward — d'you mind if we take your finger- prints?"
inu.30000007086980	Bunter, if I sacked you here and now, would vou tell me what you think of me?"
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: Do you sleep in the basement, then, to hear him so plain?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: Does Mrs. Cummings live with you at Battersea?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: Does Sir Julian always do that?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: How does he do that?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: Is he habitually as late as that, Mr. Cum- mings?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: Temper?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: This was a downstairs visitor, then?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: Well, what do you think, Mr. Cummings?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: What does he do?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter: You do n't mean to say, Mr. Cummings, a great specialist like Sir Julian Freke does night work at the hospital?
inu.30000007086980	Bunter?"
inu.30000007086980	But I wondered whether — Where does he live when he is n't in town?"
inu.30000007086980	But all the same, did Miss Dorland bring the brandy straight along to you?"
inu.30000007086980	But at the moment there are certain obstacles""Somebody's being greedy, eh?—You'd rather not say more definitely, I suppose?
inu.30000007086980	But have you the slightest idea what Gowan looks like without his beard?
inu.30000007086980	But he was earmarked for a bad end, what?"
inu.30000007086980	But how did George get the drug?"
inu.30000007086980	But how did you know he'd be there if you did ask?
inu.30000007086980	But how had it come to bear a Euston label?
inu.30000007086980	But how was I to know that he would n't answer to his name?"
inu.30000007086980	But if it is n't Mrs. Farren's, Inspector, where's our theory?"
inu.30000007086980	But if so, why take the bicycle with him, acknowledged or unacknowledged?
inu.30000007086980	But in that case, why invent the tale about the note at all, unless to throw suspicion on Farren?
inu.30000007086980	But is n't he here, then, Lord Peter?"
inu.30000007086980	But is n't there any third party in the case?"
inu.30000007086980	But it's all right now, is n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	But of course you had other 224 Quadrille things to think of then, had n't you?'
inu.30000007086980	But one ai n't like that in real life, d'you think so, Lord Peter?"
inu.30000007086980	But one ca n't stop doing what's right because people misunderstand, can one?"
inu.30000007086980	But should you say it was a young man's arm?
inu.30000007086980	But that would n't satisfy you, would it?"
inu.30000007086980	But the difficulty remained: why had he left the corpse behind him?
inu.30000007086980	But there are plenty of unmarried men who do n't""Are n't we wandering slightly from the matter in hand?"
inu.30000007086980	But they ca n't do anything without my consent, can they?"
inu.30000007086980	But what did the police find in the dust- bin?"
inu.30000007086980	But what on earth am I to do?"
inu.30000007086980	But what were you doing there?"
inu.30000007086980	But what's a char?
inu.30000007086980	But what's the good of that when he's been and gone and lost you your night's rest?
inu.30000007086980	But where?
inu.30000007086980	But which train?
inu.30000007086980	But whose?
inu.30000007086980	But why did n't you tell'em to put the call through to the box by the library?"
inu.30000007086980	But why do n't you speak to Mrs. Crickett?
inu.30000007086980	But why the golf- links?
inu.30000007086980	But why this particular alibi?
inu.30000007086980	But you'll allow it all looked a bit queer, now, did n't it?
inu.30000007086980	But you'll be more careful in future, wo n't you?"

inu.30000007086980	But, I mean, all this is n't serious, really?
inu.30000007086980	But, I say — it's all fair and above- board?

inu.30000007086980	By the way, Wimsey, what's happened to Waters?"
inu.30000007086980	By the way, did n't you say you'd met the Dorland girl at the Rushworths?"
inu.30000007086980	By the way, did the station- master at Pin- wherry mention whether the passenger had a bicycle?"
inu.30000007086980	By the way, have you seen George lately?"
inu.30000007086980	By the way, was that why I was able to get all my visas with that uncanny facility at an unearthly hour overnight?"
inu.30000007086980	By the way, you're sure they can answer for you on Tuesday as well as Monday night?"
inu.30000007086980	Ca n't they stop the guns?"

inu.30000007086980	Is that so?"
inu.30000007086980	Is that the old Fentiman who died the other day?"
inu.30000007086980	Is that you, Mother?
inu.30000007086980	Is there a female in the country with hair so black and so curly, that's never been shingled or bingled?
inu.30000007086980	Is there an empty bed- room we can take him to, Culyer?"
inu.30000007086980	Is there any doubt at all that Campbell died the same morning that he was found?"
inu.30000007086980	Is there anything further I can do for you?"
inu.30000007086980	Isna yon precisely the fact that we was wishfu'tae conceal frae the suspecks?
inu.30000007086980	It appeared to be a new toy; perhaps he had not cared to leave it in strange hands?

inu.30000007086980	It was about a quarter to 244 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	It was from Marjorie Phelps, and ran:"If you want to meet Ann Dorland, would you care to come along to a'do'at the Rushworths'Wednesday week?

inu.30000007086980	It would be interesting to know if he did meet Campbell — wouldn't it?"
inu.30000007086980	It's a pity about that bicycle of yours, is n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	It's a pity, is n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	It's a very nasty thing, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	It's awfully exciting up to a point, 161 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	It's come up nicely, has n't it?

inu.30000007086980	Let's see, he lives in Battersea, does n't he?"
inu.30000007086980	Look here, Sheila, what is the bottle?"
inu.30000007086980	Look here, Wimsey, what are we to do about this woman?"

inu.30000007086980	Look here, old man, you know that Fentiman business?

inu.30000007086980	Or a bicycle?
inu.30000007086980	Or am I wearing a repulsive tie?"
inu.30000007086980	Or are you out to collar the cash by hook or by crook?
inu.30000007086980	Or come in to look for it?"
inu.30000007086980	Or did he actually murder him under the influence of this diabolical delusion?
inu.30000007086980	Or did she put it down on the table or anywhere?"
inu.30000007086980	Or did you hear of it from George?"
inu.30000007086980	Or do we say that an arrest is imminent, eh?"
inu.30000007086980	Or is it being unmarried?
inu.30000007086980	Or perhaps he meant to be away a long time?

inu.30000007086980	Perhaps, Mrs. 63 Whose Body?
inu.30000007086980	Poor little Mr. Thipps — whatever made your friend the inspector think he could have murdered anybody?"
inu.30000007086980	Presumably the association could be proved — the couple had met and dined together; probably the quarrel could be proved — but what next?
inu.30000007086980	Pretty obvious, is n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	Pretty, ai n't it?

inu.30000007086980	So I said,'Oh, why?'
inu.30000007086980	So I said,'Was his affairs in confusion then?'

inu.30000007086980	So that a man might have concealed himself in the box- room or a wardrobe?
inu.30000007086980	So they sent him to — what's that place?
inu.30000007086980	So very wonderful about glands, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	So what's Thipps's bath got to do with it?"
inu.30000007086980	So you did not see the General again before he left?"
inu.30000007086980	Somethin'fishy there, do n't you think, what?"
inu.30000007086980	Something about his being found dead?"
inu.30000007086980	Something more, I mean?"
inu.30000007086980	Sorry, can you put me through to Scotland Yard?
inu.30000007086980	Still, I make it a rule never to be without brandy in the house, in case of emergency, you know?"

inu.30000007086980	Such a striking old person, is n't she?
inu.30000007086980	Sup- posing she gave the old boy digitalin in his B and S, why should it wait all that time before working?
inu.30000007086980	Suppose now we go and have a drink after all this talking?

inu.30000007086980	Tell me, d'you think these tiny threads are long enough and strong enough to hang a man?"
inu.30000007086980	That he slept the night in the Club?"
inu.30000007086980	That is your opinion, too, I believe?"
inu.30000007086980	That somebody snooped up behind and did him in for his money?"
inu.30000007086980	That sort of thing, what?"
inu.30000007086980	That sort of thing?"
inu.30000007086980	That speaks for itself, does n't it?
inu.30000007086980	That was Tuesday, was n't it?"
inu.30000007086980	That was just before he was bumped off — do you remember?"

inu.30000007086980	That's a funny place to find a thumb- mark on a boot, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	That's a name I'm uncom- monly partial to — that's very nicely done, you've a steady hand, Miss Mabel — see that?
inu.30000007086980	That's damning for a girl, is n't it?
inu.30000007086980	That's his lordship speakin', is't no?
inu.30000007086980	That's rather nice,"he added,"how long have you been on that?"
inu.30000007086980	That's the line to take, do n't you think?"
inu.30000007086980	That's your wonderful poetic justice, is n't it?

inu.30000007086980	The Coroner: Do you draw any conclusion from this fact as to the experience of the criminal?
inu.30000007086980	The Coroner: In the light of the evidence which you have just heard, do you still, press the charge against Alfred Thipps and Gladys Horrocks?
inu.30000007086980	The Inspector made a note of the address, and added:"Have ye heard from Mr. Gowan since his departure?"
inu.30000007086980	The Juror: Is that very consistent with the charge against Alfred Thipps, Inspector?
inu.30000007086980	The eyes appeared to be shut, or partly shut, for, although she was standing in full view, the man said in a muffled tone,'Is that you, Alcock?'
inu.30000007086980	The fact that you found it there ought to prove my story pretty well, do n't you think?"

uiug.30112022504515	- “ You did n’t fuss with that window, did you now, Mr. Bradbury? ” McFarland asked when he rečmerged from Greenfield's room.
uiug.30112022504515	148 THIRD DEGREE “ He, ” said McKenna, “ no more committed the murder than I did. ” “ Who did? ” snarled McFarland.

uiug.30112022504515	And I very distinctly heard sounds of whispering and moving about. ” “ Did she come back? ” “ Yes — at last — very queer of her I thought.
uiug.30112022504515	And what if he was?
uiug.30112022504515	And you know perfectly well that she was no more capable of this crime than you and I. ” “ You and I? ” repeated Summers reflectively.
uiug.30112022504515	Are those the only obstacles? ” “ Is it something interesting? ” inquired the doctor.
uiug.30112022504515	Are those the only obstacles? ” “ Is it something interesting? ” inquired the doctor.
uiug.30112022504515	Are you coming?
uiug.30112022504515	As for loving you — who could help loving such a woman — even the greatest of men?
uiug.30112022504515	Bradbury, I presume? ” Bradbury nod- ded, and let the two women into the apartment.
uiug.30112022504515	But I am going out. ” “ You going to keep in touch with McFar- land? ” Summers asked him.
uiug.30112022504515	But I'll tell you what I did do! ” “ What was that? ” snapped McKenna with renewed interest.
uiug.30112022504515	But here — now — it's fading, fad- ing — What am I doing here? ” And he waved his arms about him in a kind of wild despair.
uiug.30112022504515	But somehow she seemed horribly afraid that I might stay longer than a minute. ” 66 GUILT “ And you went? ” “ No, ” and Miss Oliver flushed.
uiug.30112022504515	But why am I here?
uiug.30112022504515	But — what ’s the trouble, then?
uiug.30112022504515	But, ” he added after a pause, “ why has it come back? ” “ Ah, that I do n’t know, ” was the baffled response.
uiug.30112022504515	Did Spike have any- thing to do with that murder? ” “ Not a swered him.
uiug.30112022504515	District Attorney's office?
uiug.30112022504515	Do n't you suppose I know you have important things?
uiug.30112022504515	Do n't you think he ’d better be called? ” “ Just as you say, sir, ” replied Mrs. Carter.
uiug.30112022504515	Do you think now that she is in some way guilty of the crime? ” “ Maybe, ” he answered with a shrug.
uiug.30112022504515	God — I ca n’t help that, can I?
uiug.30112022504515	Greenfield not up yet, Mrs. Carter? ” Mrs. Carter unconsciously straightened at his 12 THE DISCOVERY words.
uiug.30112022504515	Have you anything to say to that? ” “ There was no one with me the night of the murder, ” quavered the old woman tearfully.
uiug.30112022504515	Have you ever seen him be- fore? ” 144 THIRD DEGREE Fisher gazed intently at Spike for a moment and blanched visibly.
uiug.30112022504515	He is an eg- countant. ” “ An egg countant? ” repeated Virginia dubi- ously.
uiug.30112022504515	He's wanted. ” “ What is he wanted for? ” pursued Bradbury.
uiug.30112022504515	Helm gently, “ that she never got married?
uiug.30112022504515	Here ’s a pad — would you mind just sticking your thumb on this paper? ” Bradbury complied.
uiug.30112022504515	Hits you hard — don't it?
uiug.30112022504515	How does he do it?
uiug.30112022504515	I would give years of my life to meet your wishes 29 in this matter 99 “ — But Lawrence Summers?
uiug.30112022504515	Is n't that so? ” he affectionately nudged Martha with his flexed arm.
uiug.30112022504515	Is n't that so? ” “ Yes, ” Martha whispered.
uiug.30112022504515	Is that clear? ” “ The hound! ” growled Bradbury, “ such ideas never entered her head.
uiug.30112022504515	Is there such a woman? ” “ Yes, Mr. Bradbury, ” declared McKenna, rising from his chair.
uiug.30112022504515	It was all very well to say that he would 59 GUILT undertake the case, he reflected, but what can a man do when his energies are paralyzed?
uiug.30112022504515	Mind if I wait in the kitchen? ” “ Not at all, ” said Bradbury.
uiug.30112022504515	Mine's McKenna. ” “ The McKenna? ” queried the young man in awe.
uiug.30112022504515	Miss Oliver, ” he turned to Virginia, “ will you wait in this little room? ” He opened a door behind his chair.
uiug.30112022504515	Now is there anything else? ” “ This, ” said McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	Oh, hell, Inspector — is that the best you ’ve got?
uiug.30112022504515	She's good look- ing, ai n’t she? ”- “ She is very good looking, ” answered Martha with a sympathetic smile.
uiug.30112022504515	Spike is a crook all right enough, but he's not guilty of this. ” “ A new clew? ” inquired Bradbury with awak- ened interest.
uiug.30112022504515	Tell me, will he be happier? ” And the tears dashed out of her eyes and ran down her cheeks.
uiug.30112022504515	Was I wrong? ” “ Of course you are right! ” exclaimed Vir- ginia with grateful vehemence.
uiug.30112022504515	We saw a man committing murder! ” “ You mean — me? ” gasped Bradbury, reeling backwards.
uiug.30112022504515	What I want is to occupy the room that was Mr. Greenfield ’s. ” 93 GUILT “ You would n't mind? ”.
uiug.30112022504515	What chance has he?
uiug.30112022504515	What chance have we- we poor people?
uiug.30112022504515	What did we know — what does anyone really know of those who serve him?
uiug.30112022504515	What the devil does he mean? ” McKenna was about to speak, but Summers masterfully checked him with a gesture.
uiug.30112022504515	What would you say? ” And he paused.
uiug.30112022504515	What's the use of this show business?
uiug.30112022504515	When do you expect them to come to life?
uiug.30112022504515	Where was this unnecessary cruelty leading to?
uiug.30112022504515	Where would you like to sleep — Wan ’s room or mine? ” “ Neither, ” answered Summers briskly.
uiug.30112022504515	Who can be fair to a convict — an escaped convict at that?
uiug.30112022504515	Who could be so dastardly as to kill you? ” A blackness seemed to have fallen abruptly all about him.
uiug.30112022504515	Whom could Bradbury have meant when he spoke of keep- ing her name out?
uiug.30112022504515	Whom have you got there?
uiug.30112022504515	Whom should he come to with all of them bloodhounds after him, but to his own mother?
uiug.30112022504515	Why do n't you take up Van Green- field's work, for instance? ” “ That is wisdom, ” put in the doctor.
uiug.30112022504515	Why does McKenna come here?
uiug.30112022504515	Why would he?
uiug.30112022504515	Why you — of all people — why you? ” “ Oh — oh!
uiug.30112022504515	Why, she wondered, did she always experience a slight re- vulsion inside her whenever Bradbury eulogized Wan?
uiug.30112022504515	Will your friend come to life again, or will he be happier where he is if you bring to ruin, misfortune or death any number of people?
uiug.30112022504515	Would a bad wicked man come to see his mother the first chance he gets when he escapes from prison, taking the risk he did?
uiug.30112022504515	Would he?
uiug.30112022504515	Would he?
uiug.30112022504515	Would you do that? ” “ Wo n't to- morrow do? ” protested the young man.
uiug.30112022504515	Would you do that? ” “ Wo n't to- morrow do? ” protested the young man.
uiug.30112022504515	Yet, I never so much as had an inkling where on earth she came from. ” “ Do you think you trusted her too much? ” queried Virginia suddenly.
uiug.30112022504515	You are not going to tell me that Spike has confessed, are you? ” “ No, Mr. Bradbury, ” McKenna shook his head.
uiug.30112022504515	You believe that, my dear, do n’t you?
uiug.30112022504515	You boys are not letting me in for anything, are you? ” Chink Lennahan turned upon him swiftly.
uiug.30112022504515	You follow me, Mr. Summers? ” “ I follow you, ” said Summers.
uiug.30112022504515	oh, why did they wake me?
uiug.30112022504515	— How about Faurier and Simpson? ” Another pause with audible speech in the receiver.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Actor? ” breathed Virginia, pale, but clinging desperately to her composure.
uiug.30112022504515	“ And then? ” she said aloud with a brave smile.
uiug.30112022504515	“ And — by the way, do you live here? ” he added abruptly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ And — was Mrs. Carter with you here in the hall when you did these things? ” “ No, sir, ” answered Murphy, watching the eyes of McFarland.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Any new developments, Mr. Callahan? ” “ Only this, sir.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Are they alike? ” “ They are — ” “ Hell! ” retorted McFarland, “ Then you ’re wasting our time.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Are you really shot, Callahan? ” “ I thought I was, Chief, ” Callahan replied shamefaced.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Beg pardon? ” queried his companion.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Believe in ghosts? ” pressed Summers.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Better get up, my son — you'll be late for your appointment at Sing Sing — or is it off? ” No answer whatsoever came forth.
uiug.30112022504515	“ But I thought, ” said Bradbury, “ you did n’t know where Mrs. Carter had gone to? ” “ Oh, we were n't fooling, ” laughed McFarland.
uiug.30112022504515	“ But no — she never got married. ” “ Now, why was that, do you suppose? ” and Mr.
uiug.30112022504515	“ But what about “ Spike, the Gun ’? ” he said finally.
uiug.30112022504515	“ But what are friends for?
uiug.30112022504515	“ But what of it — know anything about that? ” “ Yes. ” “ What do you know? ” demanded Summers.
uiug.30112022504515	“ But what of it — know anything about that? ” “ Yes. ” “ What do you know? ” demanded Summers.
uiug.30112022504515	“ But why? ” protested Bradbury, suddenly vehement.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Come to pay me a visit? ” “ Yes, ” grinned Callahan.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Could you give me just a minute, Chink? ” McKenna asked him.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Did Green- field know Spike was Mrs. Carter's son? ” The crook hesitated as though turning the answer over in his mind.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Did n't anybody else know the combination? ” he persisted in low tones.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Did n't you know you were? ” Larry pressed him lightly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Did you ever know us to do anything like that? ” he demanded with heat.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Did you sleep here the last couple of nights?
uiug.30112022504515	“ Do n’t want to see me, do you Mac? ” smiled the prosperous one, shifting his cigar for better enunciation.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Do n’t you know how you got here? ” Larry asked him quietly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Does this alter your plans in any way? ” He queried, turning to McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Hardly time yet. ”- “ I hear you are going to sleep here? ” Sum- mers smiled quizzically.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Have you? ” prompted McFarland.
uiug.30112022504515	“ He ’s got someone — suppose we hear what he's got to say?
uiug.30112022504515	“ How can we tell?
uiug.30112022504515	“ How did I get here? ” Larry took in the details in silence for a space.
uiug.30112022504515	“ How many children have you? ” 136 THIRD DEGREE “ One, ” she repeated, and the tears dashed out of her eyes.
uiug.30112022504515	“ How many children have you? ” he asked more quietly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ How'd they get him? ” “ Well, if you want to know, Mac, Spike is a damned fool.
uiug.30112022504515	“ I have it, Larry, I have it! ” “ What, old man? ” asked Larry with some alarm.
uiug.30112022504515	“ I knew — I knew — God!—What was it I knew?
uiug.30112022504515	“ I may have done so. ” “ Did you compare the print with his hand? ” McFarland turned to McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ I wonder if that ’s the dame whose name he meant to keep out? ” he murmured more to him- self than to Fisher.
uiug.30112022504515	“ If you want to atone, why do n't you do something fine and big, Lowell?
uiug.30112022504515	“ In the Bronx, I asked? ” repeated McFarland, more forcefully and harshly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Is it usual with you to move in and live in the house where you're in- vestigating a case like this? ” “ No, ” smiled McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Is n't it a fact that your name is not Carter at all — but McAllen? ” “ No, sir, ” breathed Mrs. Carter with a terri- fied face.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Is n't your name McAllen? ” McFarland ground out the words with terrible incisiveness.
uiug.30112022504515	“ It did n’t rain the night of May 21st-22nd, did it? ” “ Oh, no, Mr. McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ It ’s your habit to sleep on the roof every night, is n't it? ” assisted McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Know this man? ” he repeated.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Lowell, ” he finally said, as though in re- sponse to a sudden inspiration, “ would you like me to sleep here for a couple of nights?
uiug.30112022504515	“ Mind telling me your name? ” McKenna asked him abruptly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Now what the blazes is that? ” he whispered to himself, and lay still for a moment.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Now, shoot. ” “ I suppose you know, Chink, that the bulls have got Spike? ” 101 GUILT “ Yep, Mac — the boys were just talking about it.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Of what use is my life to me? ” “ But it will be of use to others! ” broke in Virginia.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Oh, it ’s you, Murphy, is it? ” spoke up Brad- bury.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Slow, ” repeated Bradbury, “ If I have to put up with this it will drive me crazy. ” “ But what can you do, my dear fellow?
uiug.30112022504515	“ So you think you had a clew to Wan's mur- der? ” he added inquiringly.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Surely that ca n't be true, Mrs. Carter? ” 97 GUILT But Mrs. Carter no longer heeded him.
uiug.30112022504515	“ That you, McKenna? ” he called out.
uiug.30112022504515	“ The door was locked, Mr. Bradbury? ” sud- denly asked McFarland.
uiug.30112022504515	“ There's the print of a hand, I understand that is giving some trouble? ” he said suavely.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Was there ever a dagger in the house? ” he asked.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Well — any news? ” demanded Bradbury nervously.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Well, what are they doing about it? ” She finally turned and inquired.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Well, ” asked Bradbury, “ how is Mrs. Car- ter? ” “ The poor thing has a lot of courage, ” com- mented Virginia with admiration.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What are you going to do next? ” “ Go to bed, I think, ” replied McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What does he do? ” “ He works in an office down town, miss.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What is this man? ” he turned to Bradbury.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What the devil ’s the matter with the man? ” he said to himself and the strange look in Mur- phy's face haunted him like an apparition.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What was it? ” gasped Bradbury with a deathly pallor.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What will life be to me now without the 250 THE LAIR OF GUILT woman I love? ” he spoke finally, as though he had not heard her.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What ’s that? ” asked McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ What's his job around here? ” 50 r THE PRINT OF A HAND “ He ’s a sort of visiting valet, ” Bradbury ex.
uiug.30112022504515	“ When did he come in last night? ” abruptly inquired Oppenheim, turning to Bradbury.
uiug.30112022504515	“ When did you first see your mother? ” re- peated McFarland.
uiug.30112022504515	“ When will they be back? ” McFarland was explaining.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Where did you get her? ” “ We"Bradbury reflected—“We got her from an employment agency in Lexington Ave- nue.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Where did you get it, Lowell? ” It was Larry Summers.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Where were you on the night of May 21st? ” began McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Who could help loving old Wan?
uiug.30112022504515	“ Who is he? ” inquired Bradbury.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Who put it there? ” asked Summers.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Why not? ” demanded McFarland.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Why should it, Mr. Summers?
uiug.30112022504515	“ Why would he kill poor Mr. Greenfield, who never did nothin'but good to unfortunate boys like this one of mine?
uiug.30112022504515	“ Will you ask Miss Oliver to step up here to see Mr. Bradbury and Mr. Summers? ” he coolly ordered her.
uiug.30112022504515	“ Wir- ginia?
uiug.30112022504515	“ Would you have felt it if there had been another woman present? ” “ I do n't know, Mr. McKenna.
uiug.30112022504515	“ You know this man, Miss? ” ingratiatingly inquired McFarland, turning to the woman.
uiug.30112022504515	“ You mean he's under arrest? ” queried Brad- bury tensely.
uiug.30112022504515	“ You think it might have been a woman? ” Summers reflected for a moment.
uiug.30112022504515	“ You were in your apart- ment — weren't you?—the apartment below Mr. Bradbury ’s? ” “ Yes, ” whispered Fisher.
uiug.30112022504515	“ You wish to see me? ” inquired Bradbury.

pst.000000872379	I should so like to play Juliet. ” “ If you do, will you let me be Romeo?
pst.000000872379	I sug- gested to Jones that the handwriting on the envelope might furnish a clew to the thief. ” “ What did he say?

pst.000000872379	I was only suggest- ing a way to get the money. ” “ I am not a thief. ” “ Who said you were?
pst.000000872379	I wish I had known that he was there. ” “ Did you come to Peoria expressly to see my brother? ” asked Mrs. Clifton, showing some curiosity.

pst.000000872379	Is there a livery stable in the village?
pst.000000872379	Is there some mys- tery? ” “ Yes, Bert, and a painful one for your un- fortunate father.
pst.000000872379	Is your wife feeling better?
pst.000000872379	It has n’t grown much. ” “ No, sir; it ’s rather quiet. ” “ Ghiefly a farming region, is n’t it?
pst.000000872379	It is a business necessity that compels me to dispense with his services. ” “ Why a business necessity?
pst.000000872379	It looks pretty well, but then I ’ve only worn it for best. ” Percy had to stufi his handkerchief in his mouth to repress a laugh?
pst.000000872379	It was Albert Marlowe. ” “ The squire?
pst.000000872379	It would be terrible, Percy admitted to himself; but what could he do?
pst.000000872379	Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, will you hand the twenty- dollar bill in dispute to oflicer Drake? ” “ Why should I?
pst.000000872379	Meanwhile, Mr. Jones, will you hand the twenty- dollar bill in dispute to oflicer Drake? ” “ Why should I?
pst.000000872379	Mr. Jones, what makes you think my client took your twenty- dollar bill?
pst.000000872379	Now tell me how you are getting along?
pst.000000872379	Now, be on your guard. ” “ Is that you, mother?
pst.000000872379	Now, where are the spondulicks?
pst.000000872379	Now, where did you get this bill? ” he asked searchingly.
pst.000000872379	Officers of the law may arrive at any time. ” “ Why did you betray me?
pst.000000872379	Oh, about my plan of opening a cigar store in Lakeville?
pst.000000872379	Only treat him well! ” “ Will you give me half what money he leaves to us?
pst.000000872379	Shall I receive a welcome or not?
pst.000000872379	So he will have no need of us. ” “ How soon is he going to put it in?
pst.000000872379	So that contained the stolen bill?
pst.000000872379	Suppose Reginald Ward should be- tray him?
pst.000000872379	Suppose a dishonest person had found it? ” “ It would have been terrible! ” said Bert, successfully checking his disposition to laugh.
pst.000000872379	Suppose he were found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment?
pst.000000872379	That comes to what—- Bert?
pst.000000872379	That is the only way to protect the community from further thefts. ” “ What would mother say if she knew I did it? ” thought Percy, shivering.
pst.000000872379	That made it seem like a cunning conspiracy, as undoubtedly it was. ” “ Were the other bonds never traced? ” “ I understand not.
pst.000000872379	That ’s your ‘, name, is n’t it?
pst.000000872379	The governor would n't like it, hey? ” “ No, he ’d be awful mad. ” “ Follow me, then, Percy, ” and Ward led the way up to his room.
pst.000000872379	The output is steadily increasing. ” “ Do you know anything of it from your own knowledge?
pst.000000872379	The stolen bill has been returned to him in an envelope by Sam Doyle. ” “ Is that so? ” exclaimed Percy, counter- feiting surprise.
pst.000000872379	Then I shall be happy to accom- modate you. ” “ Did you lose much? ” asked Bert, as his companion resumed a seat at his side.
pst.000000872379	Then you accept? ” “ If you think I can do it, and will tell me exactly what to do. ” “ Come round at once to the stage entrance.
pst.000000872379	They were n’t of much account — some old letters and such. ” “ Did your mother preserve them? ” asked Bert eagerly.'
pst.000000872379	To whom shall I make it payable?
pst.000000872379	Wait a minute,'and I ’ll do up a pound of sugar and send it to your mother as a present. ” “ What ’s come to the old man? ” thought Sam.
pst.000000872379	Was there anything else in the closet? ” “ There were some doughnuts and beans. ” “ Were any of them taken? ” Five Hundred Dollars.
pst.000000872379	Was there anything else in the closet? ” “ There were some doughnuts and beans. ” “ Were any of them taken? ” Five Hundred Dollars.
pst.000000872379	We have been very unfortunate. ” “ Where have you been these last ten years, Simeon?
pst.000000872379	We must look to the future for compensation. ” “ Do you think you will ever be able to prove your innocence, Simeon?
pst.000000872379	Well, I ’m sorry for you, but I have no vacancy. ” “ If Herman should change his mind again, will you think of me?
pst.000000872379	What brings you here?
pst.000000872379	What could his name matter to a burglar?
pst.000000872379	What do you ask? ” “ Fifteen cents a quart, ” answered Bert.
pst.000000872379	What do you mean?
pst.000000872379	What do you say to a little game of cards to fill up the time?
pst.000000872379	What do you say? ” “ I should n’t be willing to work for that. ” “ You would n’t, hey?
pst.000000872379	What do you say? ” “ I should n’t be willing to work for that. ” “ You would n’t, hey?
pst.000000872379	What do you think of that?
pst.000000872379	What family has he? ” “ He has one boy about my own age. ” “ I suppose you are very intimate — being cousins. ” Bert laughed.
pst.000000872379	What object could he have?
pst.000000872379	What shall be the next step? ” He little anticipated the singular experi- ence that same evening had in store for him.
pst.000000872379	What shall you do? ” Five Hundred Dollars.
pst.000000872379	What sort of a position? ” “ I shall be a clerk in a mining office. ” “ What pay will you get?
pst.000000872379	What sort of a position? ” “ I shall be a clerk in a mining office. ” “ What pay will you get?
pst.000000872379	What then is your name?
pst.000000872379	What would they do when it was all gone?
pst.000000872379	When the transfer was made, Ward asked, “ Where did you raise the twenty, Percy? ” Now it was that Percy looked embarrassed.
pst.000000872379	When?
pst.000000872379	Where are you going to stay to- night, Simeon? ” she asked, after a pause.
pst.000000872379	Where did Bert get-it from?
pst.000000872379	Where did he get the necessary capi- tal?
pst.000000872379	Where does your mother live?
pst.000000872379	Where else could he have got so large a bill as that?
pst.000000872379	Where have you been so long?
pst.000000872379	Where? ” asked Bert eagerly.
pst.000000872379	Why did I not know at the time?
pst.000000872379	Why did n’t you ride up with him?
pst.000000872379	Why do n’t he live with us?
pst.000000872379	Why should I fear?
pst.000000872379	Why then did ma intro- duce you as a friend of his? ” “ She thought me so.
pst.000000872379	Will that be soon enough? ” Bert hesitated.
pst.000000872379	Will you do me a favor?
pst.000000872379	Will you take my advice?
pst.000000872379	Wo n’t you come home with me, Uncle Jacob?
pst.000000872379	Wo n’t you go down and have a game of billiards?
pst.000000872379	Would you mind much, mother, if I should take a place in New York? ” “ It would be terribly lonely for me, Bert, ” sighed Mrs. Barton.
pst.000000872379	You always said so. ” “ And I still think so. ” “ Then why do n’t he dress better?
pst.000000872379	You do n’t know him. ” “ Does n’t he ever leave money lying round?
pst.000000872379	You hear, do you? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Then remember it! ” and Squire Marlowe turned his back rudely upon Bert.
pst.000000872379	You know there will be plenty of designing persons, who will be laying snares to entrap him, and get possession of his money. ” “ How old is he?
pst.000000872379	You know these rich uncles expect to be treated with a good deal of consideration. ” “ Do you think he will expect to live with us?
pst.000000872379	You know your father ’s handwriting, do n’t you?
pst.000000872379	You see Mis ’ Wilson and me sleep in a bedroom on the first floor openin ’ out of the settin ’ room. ” “ Did the boy take much?
pst.000000872379	You see he has a good deal of confidence in Mr. Bascom and myself. ” “ So I thought. ” “ What made you think so?
pst.000000872379	You will always find a home here, though an humble one. ” “ Do you really mean that, Mary? ” said- Uncle Jacob, earnestly.
pst.000000872379	You ’ll promise not to upset the carriage, as Percy did the other day?
pst.000000872379	Your father thinks that upon these the present prosperity of Albert Marlowe was built up. ” “ How are we to prove that?
pst.000000872379	a twenty- dollar bill?
pst.000000872379	he thinks me dead, does he not?
pst.000000872379	here, ” went on Jacob, “ I ran across Mary‘s boy. ” “ Herbert Barton?
pst.000000872379	humors, particularly in boys, is n’t it, Mis ’ Wilson? ” “ So I ’ve always heard, Silas.
pst.000000872379	it in government bonds, and you would have been independent for life?
pst.000000872379	it till to- morrow. ” “ How much is it, Mr. Jones? ” asked Con- way.
pst.000000872379	l “ He left quite suddenly, owing ma eight weeks ’ board. ” “ So I heard. ” “ Do you think he will ever pay it up?
pst.000000872379	main as they were?
pst.000000872379	not the son of John Barton?
pst.000000872379	probable author of my misfortunes, I own it has ‘ made me feel revengeful. ” “ To whom do you refer, Simeon?
pst.000000872379	while we are living from hand to mouth, and poor father is an exile somewhere. ” “ Yes, Bert. ” “ Do n’t you receive letters from father?
pst.000000872379	‘ “ You ask me that? ” said Angelica, in sur- prise.
pst.000000872379	“ Albert Marlowe, is n’t it? ” “ Yes, sir; do you know him?
pst.000000872379	“ Albert Marlowe, is n’t it? ” “ Yes, sir; do you know him?
pst.000000872379	“ All right; where are you boarding? ” He gave the address.
pst.000000872379	“ And you were tried before Albert Mar- lowe?
pst.000000872379	“ Are you asking for yourself? ” inquired the merchant.
pst.000000872379	“ Are you going back to California?
pst.000000872379	“ Are you the sister of Ralph Harding? ” asked Bert.
pst.000000872379	“ Are you working here? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who are you? ” This seemed a singular question.
pst.000000872379	“ Are you working here? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who are you? ” This seemed a singular question.
pst.000000872379	“ Be you the boy that Jones charged with stealin ’?
pst.000000872379	“ But ca n’t you induce him to wear better clothes?
pst.000000872379	“ But how could anybody get into the house? ” asked Silas.
pst.000000872379	“ But where will you get the money? ” gasped the squire.
pst.000000872379	“ But you would not oppose it?
pst.000000872379	“ Can I ask a question?
pst.000000872379	“ Can I have possession at once? ” “ Yes.
pst.000000872379	“ Can you think of anybody? ” “ No; how should I?
pst.000000872379	“ Can you think of anybody? ” “ No; how should I?
pst.000000872379	“ Come, Mary, did you too think, like Bert here, that I was headed for the poorhouse?
pst.000000872379	“ Come, are you going up or not? ” “ Had n’t I better go to the foot of the stairs and fire up? ” asked Silas with a bright idea.
pst.000000872379	“ Come, are you going up or not? ” “ Had n’t I better go to the foot of the stairs and fire up? ” asked Silas with a bright idea.
pst.000000872379	“ Come, now, what do you say?
pst.000000872379	“ Did Uncle Jacob tell you how long he in- tended to stay in Lakeville?
pst.000000872379	“ Did he board with you?
pst.000000872379	“ Did he go to prison?
pst.000000872379	“ Did he see him a year ago? ” “ Yes, in some town in Canada — near T0- ronto, I believe.
pst.000000872379	“ Did he tell you so?
pst.000000872379	“ Did n’t he tell you where he was going?
pst.000000872379	“ Did n’t you know I was acquitted, and that it was shown that there were two twenty- dollar bills?
pst.000000872379	“ Did n’t you tell me you had a hundred thousand dollars in a Sacramento bank?
pst.000000872379	“ Did you hear anybody walking round the house last night, Bert? ” asked the farmer, who was by this time worked up into a state of agitation.
pst.000000872379	“ Did you know her, too?
pst.000000872379	“ Did you see the notice of your play in the morning paper, Mr. Barton?
pst.000000872379	“ Did you wish to see me, sir?
pst.000000872379	“ Did you wish to see me, sir? ” she said.
pst.000000872379	“ Did you find me easily, Bert?
pst.000000872379	“ Do I think so?
pst.000000872379	“ Do n’t you know me?
pst.000000872379	“ Do n’t you think I could get a jobwat that, mother? ” “ No, you could not do the work satisfac- torily.
pst.000000872379	“ Do you expect me to believe this bold falsehood, Bert Barton?
pst.000000872379	“ Do you mean me? ” asked Bert in excite- ment.
pst.000000872379	“ Do you mean to say you have never acted before?
pst.000000872379	“ Do you remember your father, Herbert?
pst.000000872379	“ Do you see that? ” she asked.
pst.000000872379	“ Do you want to spend a term of years in prison?
pst.000000872379	“ Do — you — think so?
pst.000000872379	“ Does he admit it?
pst.000000872379	“ From Mr. Holbrook, the landlord of the hotel. ” “ You are sure of this? ” demanded Conway sternly.
pst.000000872379	“ From whom did you obtain the twenty- dollar bill which you charge my client with taking? ” asked Mr. Conway.
pst.000000872379	“ Had n’t you better give it to me to keep for you?
pst.000000872379	“ Had n’t you better go down yourself? ” he asked.
pst.000000872379	“ Have a cigar, young man?
pst.000000872379	“ Have you any further questions to put, Mr. Jones? ” added Conway.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you been hatching up a plot against me?
pst.000000872379	“ Have you been writing to Jacob Mar- lowe? ” he asked.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you decided what to do? ” asked Bert curiously.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you got a small room vacant? ” asked Bert.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you had any answer to this adver- tisement?
pst.000000872379	“ Have you heard of my trouble, Percy? ” asked Bert abruptly.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you heard the news, Bert? ” asked his friend.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you seen anything of my wallet? ” he gasped, as he came within hearing dis ‘ tance.
pst.000000872379	“ Have you seen him?
pst.000000872379	“ Have you taken any steps yet, Uncle Jacob?
pst.000000872379	“ He has a good color. ” “ His father was the picture of health till within a few weeks of his death. ” “ What did he die of?
pst.000000872379	“ He has set the oflicers on my track. ” “ Has he done this? ” asked Uncle Jacob, sharply.
pst.000000872379	“ He is a friend of a former boarder, Mr. Harding, whom some of you will remember. ” “ Have you heard from Mr. Harding lately, Mr. Barton?
pst.000000872379	“ He thinks he has found out — at any rate he has strong suspicions — who was the real thief for whom he suffered. ” “ Who is it, mother?
pst.000000872379	“ How could he get up there?
pst.000000872379	“ How did you leave your mother?
pst.000000872379	“ How is my old friend Mr. Marlowe?
pst.000000872379	“ How long do you think I ’ve had this coat and vest, Albert?
pst.000000872379	“ How many have you got?
pst.000000872379	“ How much does he pay you? ” “ Fifty cents for three days and board. ” Five Hundred Dollars.
pst.000000872379	“ How on earth can a clerk on twelve dollars a week salary afford to dine at a restaurant like this?
pst.000000872379	“ How was that?
pst.000000872379	“ How ’s your ma? ” she inquired jerkily.
pst.000000872379	“ I am glad to hear you say so, for I shall be obliged to treat you unceremoniously. ” “ Eh?
pst.000000872379	“ I am not willing to have such goings on in my house. ” “ How are you going to do it, Sophia?
pst.000000872379	“ I can raise ten times that sum, if neces- sary. ” “ But I thought you were a poor man?
pst.000000872379	“ I did; but he preferred to walk. ” “ What does he look like?
pst.000000872379	“ I found it under a bush by the side of the road, near the blacksmith ’s shop. ” “ When?
pst.000000872379	“ I have been told today that he was living only a year since. ” “ Who told you?
pst.000000872379	“ I leave all such matters to Mrs. Holbrook. ” “ Blueberries? ” exclaimed the landlady.
pst.000000872379	“ I never had a very good opinion of the boy. ” “ How did it happen? ” asked Percy, curious to know how suspicion could have fallen upon Bert.
pst.000000872379	“ I suppose there ’s some truth in what we hear?
pst.000000872379	“ I thought perhaps that man with black hair and whiskers might be the boss. ” “ No, he is a clerk. ” “ Like you?
pst.000000872379	“ I wonder who ’s driving Houghton ’s best team?
pst.000000872379	“ I worked next to him, but he seldom made any conversation with me. ” “ Was he a good workman?
pst.000000872379	“ If you wish me to do so. ” “ What salary will you expect? ” Bert smiled.
pst.000000872379	“ Is Mr. Marlowe in? ” she inquired.
pst.000000872379	“ Is Mrs. Clifton at home? ” asked Bert.
pst.000000872379	“ Is it our son — Phineas?
pst.000000872379	“ Is it, ” she asked with hesitation, “ likely to get Ralph into trouble? ” “ No, madam.
pst.000000872379	“ Is n’t the boy going to be arrested? ” he demanded, with an ugly look at Bert.
pst.000000872379	“ Is this it?
pst.000000872379	“ It is like a sight of the promised land. ” “ Do you know my mother ’s cousin, Al- bert Marlowe? ” asked Bert, during the evening.
pst.000000872379	“ MOTHER, ” said Bert abruptly, as he en- tered the cottage at the close of his engage- ment with the farmer, “ when did father die?
pst.000000872379	“ Mr. Drake, do you intend to arrest that boy? ” he added angrily.
pst.000000872379	“ Must I lose thirty- two dollars, then? ” said the lady tragically.
pst.000000872379	“ No; my employer is an intimate friend. ” “ When do you commence work?
pst.000000872379	“ No; what is it? ” “ All the peggers are to be discharged; you and I, and the two other boys. ” “ Is that true?
pst.000000872379	“ No; what is it? ” “ All the peggers are to be discharged; you and I, and the two other boys. ” “ Is that true?
pst.000000872379	“ Now, can I go?
pst.000000872379	“ Of course I am. ” “ And you will swear that this is the case?
pst.000000872379	“ Of course you will play with us the bal- ance of the week? ” said Pearson.
pst.000000872379	“ Phineas Wilson?
pst.000000872379	“ SUPPosn Mrs. Wilson sees me? ” thought Bert uncomfortably.
pst.000000872379	“ Shall I go with you, Uncle Jacob?
pst.000000872379	“ Shall I tell you the name of that other?
pst.000000872379	“ So Albert says that as I make my bed I must lie upon it? ” he repeated.
pst.000000872379	“ Tell me, quick, ” he said, “ are you not Ralph Harding? ” “ Yes, answered the other in great surprise.
pst.000000872379	“ Thank you. ” “ Are you goin’ to see de play?
pst.000000872379	“ The doors were locked, were n’t they? ” “ Yes, Silas.
pst.000000872379	“ Then he is shabbily dressed?
pst.000000872379	“ Then how do you live?
pst.000000872379	“ Then what are we to do? ” “ Oh, you ’ll think of something, ” said the squire indefinitely.
pst.000000872379	“ Then why do you accuse him?
pst.000000872379	“ They ’re poor, ai n’t they?
pst.000000872379	“ Uncle Jacob. ” “ Has he been here, then?
pst.000000872379	“ Was he well received?
pst.000000872379	“ Was there much money in it? ” asked Bert.
pst.000000872379	“ Was your mother Mary Marlowe? ” the latter asked.
pst.000000872379	“ Was — was Bert arrested?
pst.000000872379	“ Were you at the trial, Percy?
pst.000000872379	“ What can I do for you, Mr. Jones?
pst.000000872379	“ What can I do?
pst.000000872379	“ What can it mean, Albert? ” asked his wife, in bewilderment, as Uncle Jacob bowed from the buggy.
pst.000000872379	“ What can we do?
pst.000000872379	“ What do you mean by that? ” “ I dare say it is.
pst.000000872379	“ What do you mean?
pst.000000872379	“ What do you mean? ” asked Percy, red- dening.
pst.000000872379	“ What does he mean by getting into a respectable house through a window?
pst.000000872379	“ What if you should get sick?
pst.000000872379	“ What is the meaning of this? ” he asked, hoarsely.
pst.000000872379	“ What made you scare my horse? ” “ I did n’t, ” answered Bert, with spirit.

pst.000000872379	“ Who can have written him from Lake- ville? ” he asked himself, and naturally turned the page to read the signature.
pst.000000872379	“ Who is the complainant in this case?
pst.000000872379	“ Why are they silly? ” “ You talk as if you expected to be a distin- guished man.

pst.000000872379	“ Why, Uncle Jacob, is it really you?
pst.000000872379	“ Why, it must be the same envelope Sam showed me. ” “ He showed you the envelope? ” “ Yes; he picked it up by the roadside.
pst.000000872379	“ Will you come along, Percy? ” asked his father.
pst.000000872379	“ Will you ride to the house with me, sir?

uiug.30112055267535	And he — Blue- Heart — and his friends, were they not triumphant?
uiug.30112055267535	And what is it now, my good Monsieur Lefevre?
uiug.30112055267535	And what is it? ” “ I only desired to ask you, Mademoiselle, if you have seen the Comte de Romaine recently."
uiug.30112055267535	And, on his part, what was there for him to do but mourn the only illusion of his life?
uiug.30112055267535	Answer me that, Monsieur Fernand l ” “ Do you think I have murdered him? ” retorted the secret agent calmly.
uiug.30112055267535	Are there no men amongst us who will rid the King of such a pestilen- tial foe?
uiug.30112055267535	Are you looking for traces of the miscreants?
uiug.30112055267535	Blue- Heart, has your courage for- saken you?
uiug.30112055267535	But Hare- Lip laughed, and broke in quietly: “ Do ye take me for a fool, mates?
uiug.30112055267535	But somehow in the obscurity which held them as in a pall their attitude had become more M 1mierch G?
uiug.30112055267535	But there is one thing I should know him by, if the police ever succeed in laying hands on the rogue. ” “ What is that?
uiug.30112055267535	But you remember him?
uiug.30112055267535	But, then, 278 The Arrow Poison “ What are you doing here in Trévargan? ” he asked sternly.
uiug.30112055267535	De Vertha- mont went one way and du Roy another, and I ran all the way here. ” “ ‘ Was'your Highness shadowed after that? ” asked the Bishop.
uiug.30112055267535	Did n’t I tell you that Silver- Leg would come here sooner or later?
uiug.30112055267535	Did you at least see how he was dressed?
uiug.30112055267535	Fernand what?
uiug.30112055267535	For a second or two the murderer stood quite still Silver- Leg 61 “ What about the money?
uiug.30112055267535	Good company he was, too, during the first part of the way. ”_ “ What was his name?

uiug.30112055267535	I presume they can swim. ” “ Swim? ” queried M. Leblanc vaguely.
uiug.30112055267535	I should be greatly obliged if you could lend me a book to while away some of my idle hours. ” “ A book?
uiug.30112055267535	I suppose you saw nothing of the rogue?

uiug.30112055267535	If we did not part at this hour, perhaps — who knows? — I might be- come even a blacker traitor than I am.
uiug.30112055267535	Immediately he was challenged: “ Who goes there? ” and he felt rather than saw a gun levelled at his head.

uiug.30112055267535	Of a truth, what need was there now for fear or mystery?
uiug.30112055267535	Of course, there are the ruins at Saut- de- Biche. ” “ The ruins at Saut- de- Biche?
uiug.30112055267535	She developed a curious proclivity for promiscuous coquetry. ” “ Coquetry? ” broke in the secret agent with a smile.
uiug.30112055267535	That is so, is it not, my men?
uiug.30112055267535	That is — —"“ What?
uiug.30112055267535	That ’s all I know about him. ” “ What was he like?
uiug.30112055267535	The weather has been very cold. ” “ And what sort of bed do you sleep in?"
uiug.30112055267535	Then she turned to her mother: “ Will you tell me, maman, ” she said, “ just what Monseigneur says in his letter?"
uiug.30112055267535	Then suddenly a woman ’s voice rang out buoyantly: “ Why should we wait for de Livardot ere we drink the health of His Majesty the King?

uiug.30112055267535	To what Silver- Leg 67 uses did he put the money wrung from peaceable citizens?

uiug.30112055267535	What has he to do with it all?"
uiug.30112055267535	What is he like?
uiug.30112055267535	What is one life when there is so much at stake?
uiug.30112055267535	What is your name, Monsieur? ” Silver- Leg zr “ Fernand, Monsieur le Procureur, ” replied the man.
uiug.30112055267535	What motive could the brute have for such a villainous murder? ” The préfet shrugged his shoulders.
uiug.30112055267535	What was that? ” he ejaculated, as his horse gave a sudden jump to one side and nearly unseated him.
uiug.30112055267535	What will you take?
uiug.30112055267535	When is the meeting to take place?
uiug.30112055267535	When?
uiug.30112055267535	Where is he?
uiug.30112055267535	Who was your passenger, Gontran?
uiug.30112055267535	Who?
uiug.30112055267535	Whose is the hidden hand that shields him when retribution should be marking him for its own P ” Whose indeed?
uiug.30112055267535	Why?
uiug.30112055267535	Would you fellows have admitted me if I had made a mistake?
uiug.30112055267535	You had three or four male passengers aboard""What could I do? ” retorted Gontran irritably.
uiug.30112055267535	You have got the man?
uiug.30112055267535	You know it?
uiug.30112055267535	Young or old?
uiug.30112055267535	asked Blue- Heart; “ or Madame? ” “ Oh, no I ” replied the girl.
uiug.30112055267535	’ she was saying,'will you always love me as you do now?
uiug.30112055267535	“ A love affair? ” queried the Man in Grey.
uiug.30112055267535	“ A robbery?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Ah? ” he said, “ I did not know that.
uiug.30112055267535	“ And de Livardot?
uiug.30112055267535	“ And he sleeps at Les Acacias?
uiug.30112055267535	“ And if he gives me orders?
uiug.30112055267535	“ And now, tell me, what is the nearest house to yours that is of similar historical interest?
uiug.30112055267535	“ And was nothing at all found upon the body that would give a clue to the motive of the crime?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Are you about to discover who murdered him?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Are you prepared? ” “ Oh, I am prepared right enough l ” retorted the man whom she had called Blue- Heart.
uiug.30112055267535	“ But how did you guess? ” he asked of the Man in Grey, when, half an hour later, the pair were ambling along the road back towards Alencon.
uiug.30112055267535	“ But how did you know?
uiug.30112055267535	“ But you will be back here in time for the Emperor ’s visit, Monsieur Fernand? ” rejoined the commissary, trying to speak lightly.
uiug.30112055267535	“ But, unlike a beast of prey, he would not come out of nights. ” “ Did he suspect you, Mademoiselle?"
uiug.30112055267535	“ Corporal Crosnier, are you there?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Did you speak to the men of the police? ” asked a woman ’s voice out of the darkness.
uiug.30112055267535	“ Do you accompany us? ” he asked with a sneer.
uiug.30112055267535	“ Do you not deserve worse? ” retorted the Man in Grey coldly.
uiug.30112055267535	“ Done?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Fernand?
uiug.30112055267535	“ First of all, will you tell me what I am to do about that secret agent who has come here, I suppose, to poke his ugly nose into my affairs?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Have n’t we all got to obey him?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Have you seen anything of him, Hector? ” he queried of the postilion.
uiug.30112055267535	“ How could I forget the man who first held the cup of such bitter sorrow to my lips?
uiug.30112055267535	“ How do you mean — nothing? ” retorted the secret agent.
uiug.30112055267535	“ How long have you been here? ” asked the Bishop quickly.
uiug.30112055267535	“ How was it done, my good Monsieur Fer- nand?
uiug.30112055267535	“ How?
uiug.30112055267535	“ I could n’t look him under the nose, could I?
uiug.30112055267535	“ I have a comrade here, Hare’s- Foot — you know him, Mademoiselle? ” She shook her head.
uiug.30112055267535	“ Is it you, ‘ Blue- Heart?"
uiug.30112055267535	“ Is that you?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Is there anything that I can do for you, my good Monsieur Fernand?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Miss him? ” retorted the man with a savage oath.
uiug.30112055267535	“ Not dead?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Now then, Monsieur le Sous- Préfet, ” said the police agent quietly, “ will you follow me?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Now, Monsieur Fernand, will you come?
uiug.30112055267535	“ One of those damned Chouans. ” “ You are sure? ” “ Absolutely.

uiug.30112055267535	“ Rogues? ” growled M. Cognard.
uiug.30112055267535	“ T hat we shall find Monsieur Ernest down there?"
uiug.30112055267535	“ That worm?"
uiug.30112055267535	“ The informer gave you directions?"
uiug.30112055267535	“ Then what happened?
uiug.30112055267535	“ They have worked with ours. ” “ Have you questioned the women? ” “ Yes!

uiug.30112055267535	“ VVhat ’s that to you?"
uiug.30112055267535	“ Was he married?
uiug.30112055267535	“ We ’ll let Madame know — and then we shall have to think what best to do. ” “ Can you find White- Beak? ” she asked.
uiug.30112055267535	“ Well, is it done?
uiug.30112055267535	“ Well?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What about the secret agent? ” Lefevre swore.
uiug.30112055267535	“ What am I to do? ” she whispered in response.
uiug.30112055267535	“ What are you looking for now, Monsieur Fer- nand?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What book? ” “ I just noticed the title, ” replied Lefevre, “ though I ’m nothing of a scholar and books do n’t interest me."
uiug.30112055267535	“ What can I do now?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What can I do?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What can you do — by yourself?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What do you mean? ” “ I was walking home from Plélan towards Alencon in the small hours of the morning.
uiug.30112055267535	“ What do you want? ” queried the commanding voice out of the partial gloom.
uiug.30112055267535	“ What for?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What have you come for? ” “ To lend you a hand, ” replied W bite- Beak, “ with'the body of the vermin. ” “ Too soon!
uiug.30112055267535	“ What in the world makes you think that Darnier has been murdered?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What is he doing here at this hour? ” He, too, raised his fingers to his mouth, and the cry of a screech- owl rang shrilly through the wood.
uiug.30112055267535	“ What is it, Gustave? ” he asked, for he knew the man as one of the grooms in Monseigneur ’s service.
uiug.30112055267535	“ What news?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What shall I do about the gentleman in there?
uiug.30112055267535	“ What was he like? ” “ I could not say,"replied the secret agent humbly.

uc1.aa0005981329	It is actual bed- rock proof?"
uc1.aa0005981329	It is not probability or moral certainty?
uc1.aa0005981329	It was evident that Luttrell was rehearsing a speech, but why?
uc1.aa0005981329	It's not very pleasant here, is it?"
uc1.aa0005981329	It's the truth? ” “ Yes, it's the truth.'

uc1.aa0005981329	Now, what can I do? ” One simple thing, and well within your scruples as a neutral,"replied Hillyard.
uc1.aa0005981329	Oh, could n't he be reasonable and ask for somebody else?
uc1.aa0005981329	Oh, do n't you know?

uc1.aa0005981329	Shall we go and find him?
uc1.aa0005981329	She is beautiful, is n't she, with that mass of golden hair and her eyes? ” “ Yes, she is,"answered Hillyard.
uc1.aa0005981329	She is n't dressed at all, is she?
uc1.aa0005981329	Sir Chichester accordingly called upon the trunk line and gave the number “ You will ring me up?

uc1.aa0005981329	What are you doing? ” he said.
uc1.aa0005981329	What are you going to eat, Colonel Luttrell?
uc1.aa0005981329	What becomes of it, then?
uc1.aa0005981329	What did I tell you, Harold?
uc1.aa0005981329	What did I tell you?
uc1.aa0005981329	What did it not do?
uc1.aa0005981329	What did you mean by that?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What do you mean?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What do you think of Joan?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What does he matter to you?
uc1.aa0005981329	What foolish thing was Stella Croyle saying now?
uc1.aa0005981329	What had come over her?
uc1.aa0005981329	What if he had not been fooled?
uc1.aa0005981329	What in the world did it matter, how or when the secret was told?
uc1.aa0005981329	What in the world do you mean?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What in the world had Stella Croyle got to say to her about Harry Luttrell?
uc1.aa0005981329	What in the world was the matter with Joan?
uc1.aa0005981329	What is his name?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What is their number, Stella?
uc1.aa0005981329	What mad thing have you done?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What made you say that you had n't? ” Hillyard was taken at a loss.
uc1.aa0005981329	What misery and unhappiness did those broad, black dashes and idle lines express?
uc1.aa0005981329	What share had she now in his life?
uc1.aa0005981329	What should I know of them?
uc1.aa0005981329	What will be left to me if you do? ” Luttrell dropped his forehead in his hands.
uc1.aa0005981329	What wisdom of experience could she bring to help her to escape?
uc1.aa0005981329	What's that?"
uc1.aa0005981329	What's the matter, Millie?
uc1.aa0005981329	What?"
uc1.aa0005981329	When do you want the car?"
uc1.aa0005981329	When?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Where did you think you saw me?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Where is Mrs. Croyle now?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Where shall we find their equals?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Where should Hillyard find his true image and counterpart?
uc1.aa0005981329	Where's Joan?
uc1.aa0005981329	Where's Luttrell?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Which newspaper is it to be, Sir Chichester?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Whither did it lead?
uc1.aa0005981329	Who is it, Hamet? ” he cried, and the shikari turned with his companion and came back.
uc1.aa0005981329	Who is the girl at the end of the sixth row, who scems to have stepped down from a china group on a mantelpiece?
uc1.aa0005981329	Who was it in London who wanted him-- wanted him so much that cipher telegrams must find him out on the banks of the Dinder River?
uc1.aa0005981329	Who was it?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why do n't you come?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why do n't you leave me alone?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why do you lie to me?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Why have you come here?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why luckily?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why not talk with Ramon Castillo yourself? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	Why should France, then, examine my luggage?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Why should I care if all the world hears me?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Why should I have missed one of them?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why should n't she win?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why this change?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why?
uc1.aa0005981329	Why? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	Why?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Why?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Will not Germany find use for those eighteen thousand men?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you come in for a moment?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you leave your address with Miss Chayne?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you please be quick? ” she pleaded.
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you put me on to Mrs. Croyle?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you wait just a moment?
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you wear the smoke- grey to- night, madam?
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you write it in the window, with the South Downs in front of your eyes?
uc1.aa0005981329	Will you write your name here?"
uc1.aa0005981329	Would he break some- thing- some little china ornament upon the mantel- shelf?
uc1.aa0005981329	Would he ever come this way again?
uc1.aa0005981329	Would they come?
uc1.aa0005981329	Yes?'
uc1.aa0005981329	You are Mr. Hillyard, I think?"
uc1.aa0005981329	You are in a hurry?"
uc1.aa0005981329	You are off?
uc1.aa0005981329	You are sure?
uc1.aa0005981329	You call your heroine Linda?
uc1.aa0005981329	You despise racing, do n't you?"
uc1.aa0005981329	You had something private to say to me?
uc1.aa0005981329	You have joined up?"
uc1.aa0005981329	You have not answered this? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	You have not forgotten?
uc1.aa0005981329	You know Millie told us to look out for him?"
uc1.aa0005981329	You know that, do n't you?
uc1.aa0005981329	You meant that, did n't you?
uc1.aa0005981329	You pass through?
uc1.aa0005981329	You remember Mario Escobar?
uc1.aa0005981329	You want me?
uc1.aa0005981329	You will remember that in pity, wo n't you?"
uc1.aa0005981329	You wo n't forget?
uc1.aa0005981329	Your sentinel?
uc1.aa0005981329	[-?"
uc1.aa0005981329	bless my soull Did he seem disappointed, Harper?"
uc1.aa0005981329	cried Luttrell from the library, and in a lower tone to Joan, he observed, “ What a bore people are to be sure, are n't they?"
uc1.aa0005981329	have you thought out your book to- day?
uc1.aa0005981329	which go wrong, eh? ” Hillyard finished the sentence with bitterness.
uc1.aa0005981329	who turn me down the moment it suits you, without a reason?
uc1.aa0005981329	« Oh, it was n't?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And Miss Whitworth wrote to him there this afternoon?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And how's the little book going on?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And if the ball had been a week ago, I should n't have gone, should I?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And when you do?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And where are you going? ” she asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And you enjoyed it?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And you trust Ramon, Señor Baeza? ” Lopez Baeza leaned back with a gesture of un- qualified assent.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And you? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ And your friend?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Are n't you two coming? ” Both men looked towards the door.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Are you speaking the truth, Jenny? ” Suddenly Jenny's composure broke up.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ At half- past two?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Bendish? ” cried Hillyard.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ But how long does it take him?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ But they had taught her to say that?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ But what can one do- except the single thing one ca n't do? ” She gave me a message, if I should chance to meet you,"answered Hillyard.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ But you will come back in a week,"she stipulated,"wo n't you?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ But- but- how did you come back?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Commodore Graham?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Did I not say to you,'Have courage'?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Did he not tell you himself?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Did he? ” asked Stella Croyle in a soft voice at his side.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Did the editor give it to you?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do I hold you right?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do I want a bath?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do n't you, Martin? ” he asked gently.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do you know the fox- trot?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do you know these toys, Monsieur Hillyard? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do you remember the afternoon when I drove you back from Goodwood?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do you see the man with the broad face and the short whiskers in the fourth row?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Do you see this? ” Fairbairn continued.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Does he throw javelins as well as you?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ For long?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Had n't you better see first?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Harry has asked you to marry him?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Have the evening papers not arrived yet?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ He is at home?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ He is making a mistake? ” “ No, señor; he is lying, ” and he used the phrase which has no exact equivalent in the English.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ How can it be? ” CHAPTER XXIX 0 JENNY PUTS UP HER FIGHT STELLA, the undisciplined!
uc1.aa0005981329	“ How do you do, Fairbairn?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ How?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ I brought some evening papers down with me, ” said Hillyard, and “ Did you?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ I come to Midhurst accordingly, and what happens?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ I thought that your favourite paper was the Daily Flashlight?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ I wonder what in the world alarmed him, since it was n't you? ” he speculated slowly.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ I?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ In a reserved IN BARCELONA III compartment, so that I may do nothing rash and foolish?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ In any case, the rainy season was coming on, was n't it?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ In that case, sir, would n't it be wiser to read it now, aloud?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ In what way can I help you? ” 10 “ Spain Bendish tells me that you know something of Spain."
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Is Sir Charles Hardiman here? ” he asked of the hall porter.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Is anything the matter? ” Luttrell pushed the telegram towards his host.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Is n't he balmy?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Is n't it the most wonderful poem he ever wrote?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Is that you, A. C.?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Is the man never attacked?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ It looks quite like a cause célèbre, does n't it?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ It was for your health?'
uc1.aa0005981329	“ It was to spare me pain?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ It's a clever trick, is n't it? ” Hillyard used the words again, but now with a note of nervousness.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Mario Escobar?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Mr. Hillyard? ”'Yes. ” Commodore Graham nodded to the girl, and Hillyard heard the door close behind him.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ No?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Now what title will it have?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Now, why?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Oh Wub, must you leave me?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Oh! ” said another; and Will you follow me, please?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Oh?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Reliable?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Shook you up a bit, that per- formance, eh?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ So you do not remember me, Señor José?."
uc1.aa0005981329	“ So you know about her?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ So you know about the key?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Some one who was not here a week ago?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Still, five minutes are worth a good deal, are n't they, if you have waited for them two years?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ That makes a difference, eh?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ The whole truth and nothing but the truth?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Then might I have a newspaper? ” But of course, ” said Dennis Brown, and he handed one over the table to him.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Then will you take me into the garden?'
uc1.aa0005981329	“ There were two carts waiting, to carry the tobacco up to the hills. ” “ Two?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ This, ” he said, touching the roughly- drawn map of a section of the Channel, “ this is the work of the ship's captain? ” Yes.'
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Well, Joan, how have you lived without us?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Well?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ What do I care if they all hear?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ What is it?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ What is the matter with you to- night?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ What on earth made you back him, Miranda?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ What on earth made you back him?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Where for?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Where have you been these eight months?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Where is she?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Where?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Which horse won? ” asked Harold Jupp.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Who are staying in the house? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Who is in the next compartment on the other side of the lavatory? ” Hillyard asked.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Who is that?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Who told you that?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Whom do you wish to see?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Why should you recite to me from the guide- book about the University of Upsala?'
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Wo n't you please be content with that and leave things as they are?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Wo n't you sit down?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Would n't it? ” cried Harry Luttrell.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Would you like it, Sir Chichester?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Yes, am I not?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Yes, but in time? ” exclaimed Hillyard."
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Yes. ” Why the Guardia did not fire, ” continued Hillyard,"who shall say?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ Yes?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You are going to stay for the Willoughbys'ball, are n't you?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You have n't been wait- ing for it all this time, Sir Chichester? ”"Oh no, no, no,"exclaimed Sir Chichester, quickly.
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You know that for certain?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You leave by this train?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You live here alone?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You refuse?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You saw it, Manuel?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You see, Joan, what I have done?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You take no part in these discussions?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You were n't aware of it?"
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You will take coffee and a cigar?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You will?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You'll remember me to our honorary member, wo n't you?
uc1.aa0005981329	“ You?

uiug.30112045841522	A millionaire?
uiug.30112045841522	ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, I?
uiug.30112045841522	Again I ask you — What is the matter? ” Mr Hopps laid aside his cue and seated himself in an easy- chair with a long sigh of relief.
uiug.30112045841522	Agatha ’s coming has excited you, has it not? ” “ No — no, ” answered the invalid, queru- lously.
uiug.30112045841522	Ah, dead and gone is he, and his house made into cottages, and his name forgotten. ’ “ ‘ Had he no children, then? ’ I in- quired.
uiug.30112045841522	Also I wonder what that man ’s secret is?
uiug.30112045841522	And do n’t you see things — I mean awful horrible things?
uiug.30112045841522	And now I ’m wondering what little game Dr Williams is playing. ” “ Why should he play any game at all? ” asked Mr Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	And pray what has made you think about Dr Williams all day?
uiug.30112045841522	And what are those strange objects in the jars and bottles?
uiug.30112045841522	And what does Klootz say? ” “ Klootz says nothing, ” said Mr Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	And who is Ashley, and what is his history?
uiug.30112045841522	And why not?
uiug.30112045841522	And, now, how do you like my sanctum? ” Agatha looked about her in astonishment.
uiug.30112045841522	AndI wonder what will come of it?
uiug.30112045841522	Are you going down by this train?
uiug.30112045841522	But are you quite sure, my dear uncle, that you can waste so much time?
uiug.30112045841522	But is Williams such a hermit? ” “ A regular hermit.
uiug.30112045841522	But then, what will my strict and proper and very solemn uncle say to me?
uiug.30112045841522	But what a strange thing that the other chap, Francis, should disappear so mysteriously?
uiug.30112045841522	But what brings you down here, Mr Charlesworth?
uiug.30112045841522	But where ’s Francis?
uiug.30112045841522	But who and what am I?
uiug.30112045841522	But, my dear fellow, what can you expect of a man whose name is Napthali Hopps?
uiug.30112045841522	But, seriously, my dear fellow, what can a man do with a name like mine?
uiug.30112045841522	But, then, you ’ve got to find out all about the man somehow, have n't you?
uiug.30112045841522	Ca n’t be done, can it?
uiug.30112045841522	Can you imagine me sitting down to examine the caligraphic performances of forgers and the twice- crossed letters of young women in love?
uiug.30112045841522	Can you? ” “ Never tried, ” answered Leonard.
uiug.30112045841522	Did you ever rob orchards, Mr Charlesworth?
uiug.30112045841522	Do n’t you think so, Mr 28 DR WILLIAMS AND HIS NIECE Charlesworth?
uiug.30112045841522	Do we stay here or do we go forward?
uiug.30112045841522	Do you ever sit here at night — I mean quite late at night?
uiug.30112045841522	Do you know, I do n’t believe Mr Charles- worth ever will have power to tell us what was in that packet? ” “ Good Heavens!
uiug.30112045841522	Do you really mean it — that you ’ll sacrifice an hour or two to a poor, insignificant little mortal like myself?
uiug.30112045841522	Do you really mean it? ” “ Certainly, ” said the doctor.
uiug.30112045841522	Do you remember, Henry?
uiug.30112045841522	Do you think he was a burglar? ” 57 THE INVESTIGATORS Patty hardly knew what to think.
uiug.30112045841522	Do you?
uiug.30112045841522	Eh?
uiug.30112045841522	Eh? ” “ I believe there ’s a great deal in that, ” assented Mr Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	Everything he says about himself in that paper is true enough. ” “ And what of the statements he makes about you? ” “ Ah!
uiug.30112045841522	Francis Williams?
uiug.30112045841522	Francis Williams?-—that name seems strangely familiar to me. ” Mr Hopps left his address at Danesford, and went away.
uiug.30112045841522	Had it anything to do with the secret? ” “ God knows!"
uiug.30112045841522	Have I not said that I am a specialist, an expert?
uiug.30112045841522	Have n’t you noticed it? ” “ Certainly. ” 775 DR KLOOTZ Agatha also.

uiug.30112045841522	He seems likely to suit me. ” “ What ’s your business, Hoppy?
uiug.30112045841522	He stood there in the shrubbery, gazing at my window. ” “ Who stood in the shrubbery? ” “ There is only one man whose face could frighten me.
uiug.30112045841522	He ’s dying slowly, inch by inch — and he ’s not dying from a legitimate cause. ” “ What? ” said Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	Hermione, will you take Dr Sanderson to Mr Ashley ’s room?
uiug.30112045841522	Hopps, there ’s a mystery in that house. ” “ Eh?
uiug.30112045841522	How can I find out without exciting suspicion?
uiug.30112045841522	How dare you, sir, make love to me in such audacious fashion?
uiug.30112045841522	How do you like it — don’t you think I look just too sweet?
uiug.30112045841522	I do n’t wonder that Dr Williams has kept him so quiet. ” “ Then there ’s nothing to be done for him? ” said Miss Packer.
uiug.30112045841522	I say, what did you think of Williams?
uiug.30112045841522	I suppose Miss Burton ’s rooms have been prepared? ” “ They are quite ready, sir, ” answered the woman, with a formal curtesy to Agatha.
uiug.30112045841522	I suppose he was sent to Portland, eh?
uiug.30112045841522	I suppose you have never heard Dr Williams speak of Mr Ashley ’s illness or symptoms? ” “ Never mentioned either to me, ” said Miss Packer.
uiug.30112045841522	I think it ’s too bad to be so killing, is n’t it?
uiug.30112045841522	I think she ’s in the pig business. ” “ The — what?
uiug.30112045841522	I ’m not a poor, little, insignificant school- girl any longer, do n’t you know?
uiug.30112045841522	I ’ve a good memory; very good, indeed. ” “ Have you been long ill? ” asked Agatha.
uiug.30112045841522	Ide- cided to be an expert. ” ’ “ What in?
uiug.30112045841522	Ilike to take my pleasure sitting. ” “ It ’s much easier, is n’t it? ” said Mr Hopps, meditatively.
uiug.30112045841522	In future I shall discontinue them. ” “ What ’s the matter? ” asked Leonard, for the third time.
uiug.30112045841522	Is it a bargain?
uiug.30112045841522	Is n’t it all fens and meres, and dear old manor houses with moats round them, and herons standing on one leg, and that sort of thing?
uiug.30112045841522	Is n’t it too provoking? —-enough to make a saint swear, I think.
uiug.30112045841522	Is n’t that a man standing on the edge of the lawn?
uiug.30112045841522	Is the subject, our highly respectable neigh- bour, a thief, or a murderer, or what?
uiug.30112045841522	Is there no cricket, or tennis, or anything of that sort? ” Then she looked narrowly at Agatha, and suddenly comprehended a good deal.
uiug.30112045841522	It was immensely good. ” “ And Mr Ashley? ” “ Oh, there I am — always digressing.
uiug.30112045841522	It ’s just an intuition — that ’s what it is, Mr Hopps. ” “ And it is —?
uiug.30112045841522	It ’s on a strange subject. ” “ Why a strange subject? ” “ Guess you know as well as I do.
uiug.30112045841522	It ’s toothache. ” “ What ’s toothache?
uiug.30112045841522	Just his forte, is n’t it?
uiug.30112045841522	Let him ask Henry Williams one question — What did he do with me during the years he kept me prisoner in his own house?
uiug.30112045841522	Love ’s young dream, you know. ” “ No, I do n’t, ” answered Miss Packer, shortly; “ do you? ” “ Not I, indeed!
uiug.30112045841522	May I ask the reason of that concern?"
uiug.30112045841522	Miss Packer, what do you say if we pair off for good? ” Miss Packer looked at Mr Hopps steadily, and with considerable thought in her fine eyes.
uiug.30112045841522	My dear old chap, how are you?
uiug.30112045841522	Napthali Cantuar — Napthali Ebor — they do n’t sound well, do they?
uiug.30112045841522	Now then — what inference is there to be drawn from all this?
uiug.30112045841522	Now what was this accident which has befallen him?
uiug.30112045841522	Now, there is one matter which must have struck you, though that pompous ass from town never seemed to see it. ” “ IVhat is that?
uiug.30112045841522	Now, what do we go upon?
uiug.30112045841522	Now, what do you suggest? ” Mr Hopps could suggest nothing.
uiug.30112045841522	Now, what shall we do first?
uiug.30112045841522	Now, what was it — accident — design — murder — which?
uiug.30112045841522	Now, who is the nearest magistrate?
uiug.30112045841522	Of course no one knows that you have come down here to see me?
uiug.30112045841522	Oh, God, why was I born to bear this burden?
uiug.30112045841522	Oh, now I remember — it must have been the same man. ” “ What must have been the same man?
uiug.30112045841522	Oh, that ’s right — you and I will be such friends, wo n’t we?
uiug.30112045841522	One was — where did the man get to between handing the letter to the gardener and meeting Williams at the Spinney?
uiug.30112045841522	Perhaps you will give us your company?
uiug.30112045841522	Perhaps you will tell me What it is that I am to explain?
uiug.30112045841522	Rather a nice girl, do n’t you think?
uiug.30112045841522	Really I do. ” I35-.L_- MM\..._:-_-n~ W- THE IN VESTIGATORS “ And the reason?
uiug.30112045841522	Really, Hermione, I think the poor dear ’s just a little bit gone on you; do n't you think so?
uiug.30112045841522	Shall I run the thing myself, or are you standing in with me?
uiug.30112045841522	She ’s in London just now, and I daresay she ’s tired of it. ” “ And who is Miss Hermione Packer?"
uiug.30112045841522	Some definite and fixed headquarters she must have, and where should they be but in her uncle ’s house?
uiug.30112045841522	Some men play poker and some drink whisky. ” “ Is that amusing?
uiug.30112045841522	Some old schoolfellow, eh? ” “ Oh, three cheers! ” cried Agatha.
uiug.30112045841522	Strange, is n’t it?
uiug.30112045841522	That ’ll be something, wo n’t it?
uiug.30112045841522	That ’s all I know about him. ” “ And what do you want to know?
uiug.30112045841522	That ’s all. ” “\Vell? ” said Mr Hopps, after a brief silence.
uiug.30112045841522	That ’s very clever, but no good with me, Mr Hopps. ” “ Then we ’re not beaten? ” said Mr Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	The problem is — what was the secret shared in by these three men? ” Mr Hopps nodded admiringly.
uiug.30112045841522	The thing to be solved is — — What was the secret, its origin and its nature?
uiug.30112045841522	Them nose — that eyes — it is — it is me long- lost ber- uther- r. ” ’ 92 MISS PACKER FROM CHICAGO “ Is that what Mr Ashley said?
uiug.30112045841522	There is nothing wrong, surely, between you and Agatha? ” “ No, ” answered Leonard.
uiug.30112045841522	There, near the yew tree? ” Patty advanced to the window and looked forth.
uiug.30112045841522	They can do nothing with him, and I do n’t suppose you want to prosecute me for being accessory after the crime?
uiug.30112045841522	Tom Sykesby — you remember Tom? — fell off his horse and broke his neck.
uiug.30112045841522	Well, Isherwood ’s your man. ” “ And who is Isherwood?
uiug.30112045841522	Well, what are you studying him for?
uiug.30112045841522	Well, what ’s all this about? ” “ I know nothing of it, ” answered Leonard.
uiug.30112045841522	Well, you found nothing more?
uiug.30112045841522	Well, you know, I think that ’s nasty — you ought not to go asking questions about another fellow, ought you?
uiug.30112045841522	What a very great and clever man! ” “ Is there any hope? ” asked Mr Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	What can that fellow Williams have done with him?
uiug.30112045841522	What could he mean?
uiug.30112045841522	What did you do with your brother?
uiug.30112045841522	What do you mean?
uiug.30112045841522	What do you think? ” “ I think that sounds the right thing to do, ” said Mr Hopps.
uiug.30112045841522	What does it all mean? ” “ What do you mean?
uiug.30112045841522	What does it all mean? ” “ What do you mean?
uiug.30112045841522	What is it — what ’s it about?
uiug.30112045841522	What is it?
uiug.30112045841522	What is it? ” The butler spoke out.
uiug.30112045841522	What new mystery was this?
uiug.30112045841522	What nonsense! ” “ Is it done?
uiug.30112045841522	What was I saying?
uiug.30112045841522	What was the secret between Dr Williams and the man James Dickenson?
uiug.30112045841522	What would Agatha say to that?
uiug.30112045841522	What ’s the good of being young if one ca n’t make other people feel young too?
uiug.30112045841522	Whatever could he be doing to fall and cut his head against the fender? ” “ I do n’t know, ” said Miss Packer.
uiug.30112045841522	Where have you been, Hopps?
uiug.30112045841522	Where was I to get it?
uiug.30112045841522	Where ’s the point? ” “ The point ’s in the man Francis Williams, born August 2, 1844, ” an- swered Miss Packer.
uiug.30112045841522	Which do you prefer — a straight road or a crooked lane? ” 77 THE INVESTIGATORS “ A straight road, ” said Leonard.
uiug.30112045841522	Who was that man?
uiug.30112045841522	Who ’s gone, indeed?
uiug.30112045841522	Why was Ashley thrown into a state of terror when he saw Dickenson?
uiug.30112045841522	Will you marry me? ” “ Yes, ” said Miss Packer.
uiug.30112045841522	Will you sit down at my desk there and write him a note, asking him to come here at once?
uiug.30112045841522	Williams prepares to talk to me — that ’s because we ’re both — shall I say clever?
uiug.30112045841522	Wo n’t it be fun to tell her all about it when she comes back to- morrow?
uiug.30112045841522	Wo n’t you come along with me and see him?
uiug.30112045841522	Wo n’t your patients be wanting you, poor dear things?
uiug.30112045841522	You and I will talk about her, wo n’t we?

uiug.30112045841522	“ He fell, and cut his head rather severely against the fender. ” “ He is not dead, sir? ” said the woman.

uiug.30112045841522	“ Is it divorce, or lost bank- notes, or what?
uiug.30112045841522	“ Is it?
uiug.30112045841522	“ It ’s like robbing an orchard, is n’t it?

uiug.30112045841522	“ Shall we go with them? ” Mr Hopps had particular reasons for wishing to go.
uiug.30112045841522	“ She reminds me of a gaoler, ” thought Agatha; “ and why on earth does she carry the key of my room on that great bunch?

osu.32435064719784	Sup- posing, he asked himself, he made another at- tempt?
osu.32435064719784	THE SECOND MURDER 235 “ What are you going to do this time? ” the Doctor asked him.
osu.32435064719784	That Zancray lad, now, what was his method of getting at the truth? ’ ” “ Zancray?
osu.32435064719784	That Zancray lad, now, what was his method of getting at the truth? ’ ” “ Zancray?
osu.32435064719784	That alone, now: with us, the sort of evidence destroyed — ‘ the evidence in the destruction of evidence ’ 4 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	That night ended?
osu.32435064719784	That voice — would they ever forget it?
osu.32435064719784	The girl, deep- breasted, supple, free 70 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	The hand that had locked the doors against their entrance on the murder day?
osu.32435064719784	The knocking?
osu.32435064719784	The question was, where would he go to?
osu.32435064719784	Then, of course, there will be your- self and Willings and Judge Bishop and my- Self. ” “ What about Fisher?
osu.32435064719784	There were no particulars? ” “ No.
osu.32435064719784	Therefore, why put in as evidence something that could only throw unjust suspicion on a man perfectly inno- cent?
osu.32435064719784	They had it, of course?
osu.32435064719784	They just say ‘ Come! ’ ” And, about eight that night, as they got un- der way, he was adding some final remarks 132 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	Though murderer(?)
osu.32435064719784	Very well, where would he be fleeing to?
osu.32435064719784	Very well, why not persuade him to give us another chance by encouraging him to come back again?
osu.32435064719784	Was he drivin ’ tanked? ” “ No, ” panted Willings.
osu.32435064719784	Was it man, or apparition, or some sort of demon- ridden soul?
osu.32435064719784	Was it while you was in? ” Apparently Fisher had not heard them.
osu.32435064719784	Was the hand that had left it the same that had struck Mrs. Fisher down?
osu.32435064719784	We tested the panelling in the Fisher 337 340 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	Well, proof enough of the value the yegg puts 106 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	Well?
osu.32435064719784	What am I going to do? ” His face was lit by a sort of professional ruthlessness.
osu.32435064719784	What bait could we offer?
osu.32435064719784	What did Professor Fisher and the Inspec- tor want?
osu.32435064719784	What did it mean?
osu.32435064719784	What did she fear?
osu.32435064719784	What did the Doctor hope to find amid such mere debris of the man ’s every- day working life?
osu.32435064719784	What do you see?
osu.32435064719784	What for? ” “ Why, just because he was here, and because no one saw him leaving again — and some money A MURDER NOTE 37 has been taken.
osu.32435064719784	What good, indeed, to be lyin ’ hid there, with a lot of electhrics goin’?
osu.32435064719784	What is the matter? ” they kept shouting.
osu.32435064719784	What of him? ” “ Yess, yess, ” cried Fisher.
osu.32435064719784	What story, what explanation of hideous mystery, spoke from it?
osu.32435064719784	What was that? ” They all sat unmoving.
osu.32435064719784	What was there that could harm him?
osu.32435064719784	What ’s that? ” The nerves of AN ELEVATOR OPERATOR 185 the big man seemed to jump.
osu.32435064719784	What ’s the racket?
osu.32435064719784	What, then, Laneham asked her, was the meaning of that letter she had been carrying?
osu.32435064719784	When are you going over? ” “ At once.
osu.32435064719784	Who did do it? ” For a moment he halted.
osu.32435064719784	Who had killed Mrs. Fisher?
osu.32435064719784	Who is it to be next?
osu.32435064719784	Who was it?
osu.32435064719784	Why had no one seen him leaving?
osu.32435064719784	Why should any man, however haunted, go to his office at one in the morning to destroy a play?
osu.32435064719784	Why, and how, was she killed?
osu.32435064719784	Why, befo ” Gawd, do n’t you- all remem- ber I was one of the boys what done hailped you an ’ the Judge to break in?
osu.32435064719784	Why?
osu.32435064719784	Will you come up here?
osu.32435064719784	Willings? ” “ He ’s in our Settlement.
osu.32435064719784	Would he recognise them if he saw them?
osu.32435064719784	Writing on Maddalina ’s walls?
osu.32435064719784	Yes?
osu.32435064719784	You did n’t know that? ” “ No. ” Her lips had fallen apart, and she appeared to be unable to bring them together again.
osu.32435064719784	You do n’t believe it was me that done it?
osu.32435064719784	You do n’t recognise it? ” In the meantime he had found a second strip, this time bearing a line of writing.
osu.32435064719784	You do n’t?
osu.32435064719784	You just go ahead an ’ tell us what you know. ” 230 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	You mean that there ’s no connection whatever between your knowing him — and — and poor Mrs. Fisher? ” “ Oh, I did n’t say that.
osu.32435064719784	You must have seen him — the young man with the big glasses? ” “ Oh — oh, yes.
osu.32435064719784	You wo n’t so much as think Of it? ” And for a moment he turned back.
osu.32435064719784	You ’d say, would n’t you, that last night would'a'shook him out of all o ’ that?
osu.32435064719784	You ’ll be wantin ’ those elevator- boys, too? ” “ Both of them.
osu.32435064719784	You ’ll postpone it? ” “ Yes, for a day or two. ” “ Good.
osu.32435064719784	Zancray ’s postulate? ” Lane- ham could hardly put the question aside, and he explained the allusion to the others.
osu.32435064719784	criminal, or the accomplice of criminals who would take a chance like that?
osu.32435064719784	it?
osu.32435064719784	tions been answered?
osu.32435064719784	would in many ways be absolutely misleading. ” “ For example? ” Bishop pressed him.
osu.32435064719784	you, that them damn ’ Jamaica chocolates are just goin’ to run for it now? ” “ I do n’t think so.
osu.32435064719784	“ A bit out of character, is n’t it? ” the Doc- tor asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ An ’ friend yegg anyways came near to gettin ’ him! ” “ Came near to getting him? ” 102 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ An ’ friend yegg anyways came near to gettin ’ him! ” “ Came near to getting him? ” 102 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ An ’ he ’s gone, now? ” he asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ And I doubt very much if it is the next step. ” It was not?
osu.32435064719784	“ And how, Laney, how?
osu.32435064719784	“ And is it anything that you can share with US? ” “ No, Bishy, not till later.
osu.32435064719784	“ And now, my son, is n’t there something coming from you? ” “ Doctor Lyneham, do n’t hask me!
osu.32435064719784	“ And now, ” said the Doctor, “ will you go ahead, Jimmy, and tell your story?
osu.32435064719784	“ And what do you mean?
osu.32435064719784	“ And will you, whoever you may be down there, will you please be quiet, for a moment?
osu.32435064719784	“ And you ’re not going to make an arrest? ” Her indignation and her complete inability to understand surged up like Willings ’.
osu.32435064719784	“ And your man Throaty, ” asked Laneham — “ where is he now? ” “ Where is he now?
osu.32435064719784	“ And your man Throaty, ” asked Laneham — “ where is he now? ” “ Where is he now?
osu.32435064719784	“ And your pater? ” he asked D. Hope.
osu.32435064719784	“ And, Bishy, ” Laneham continued, “ you ask if, after all, it might n’t in some way have been an accident?
osu.32435064719784	“ And, now, Jim- my, did you at any time, during the afternoon, hear a voice that you could not account for? ” Jimmy paled a little.
osu.32435064719784	“ At any rate, ” he said, “ there ’ll be some questions to 167 168 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Bishop, shall we look at it now, or leave it till later, with the rest? ” But the Judge was already looking at it.
osu.32435064719784	“ Burn h’any paper — in the Professor ’s h'apartment?
osu.32435064719784	“ But at any rate you recognise the pen work?
osu.32435064719784	“ But have you — have you a weapon with you? ” Bishop asked him.
osu.32435064719784	“ But might n’t it — isn’t it just sea salt? ” Willings asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ But, Doctor, what does this mean?—“We, too, can kill in those Fisher rooms ”?
osu.32435064719784	“ But, tell me, ” he asked, “ do you realise what it ’ll mean to you to return to those Fisher rooms? ’ ” “ I know.
osu.32435064719784	“ But, tell us, have you ever seen that other writing anywhere before? ” “ No, sir; never, sir! ” “ Nor I, ” said D. Hope.
osu.32435064719784	“ Can we hope for anything else? ” asked the Judge.
osu.32435064719784	“ Cap', did you ever have the feelin ’ in your sleep that you must wake — an ’ you thried to wake, but you could n’t wake?
osu.32435064719784	“ Che cosa?
osu.32435064719784	“ Considering that after all, ” he said, “ it was a hurry call. ” Again, on the inside, some one seemed to ap- 15 16 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Could you get the use of an elevator? ” Laneham asked him.
osu.32435064719784	“ Cripes, what you at? ” The man fell has- tily back into the Sorrento doorway.
osu.32435064719784	“ Do you know the writing below? ” the Doc- tor asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ Do you remember, too, what our talk was about, on the way uptown to- day?
osu.32435064719784	“ Doctor, ” he said, “ what do you want to do? ” “ Several things, one of which will again con- vince you that I ’ve lost my senses.
osu.32435064719784	“ Enough?
osu.32435064719784	“ Everything comfy?
osu.32435064719784	“ For why this sudden — this ghastly sudden feeling on her part that she must make a will — or rather make haste if she was to make a new one?
osu.32435064719784	“ Has she enough law yet for suffrage pur- poses? ” Laneham asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ Have you found anything in the way of torn paper, or the signs of anything having been burnt? ” asked Laneham.
osu.32435064719784	“ He ’s gone? ” “ Oh, gone this half hour, the devil. ” “ An ’ devil he was!
osu.32435064719784	“ Hi, what ’s the excitement? ” “ An ’ you too, by Gord, if you come in, you too! ” And on the word Jimmy flung himself at him.
osu.32435064719784	“ How about it, Professor?
osu.32435064719784	“ How about it?
osu.32435064719784	“ How is it with you, Grogan? ” he asked of him.
osu.32435064719784	“ I desire to ask, ” he cried, shaking his hand at Willings—“I desire to ask if, after all, you are going to led him go?
osu.32435064719784	“ I — I do n’t know as I get you? ” The Doctor repeated.
osu.32435064719784	“ If I dreamed it, it ’s a dream I ’m never 98 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Is it Zancray once more? ” asked Lane- ham.
osu.32435064719784	“ Is this your psychoanalysis?
osu.32435064719784	“ It ’s only right I should, if merely because of my official po- sition. ” Would he be back again?
osu.32435064719784	“ Laneham! ” asked the Judge, “ tell me — where have we heard just that before? ” “ I ’ll tell you.
osu.32435064719784	“ Laneham, if there was such a will — if Mrs. Fisher attempted, that morning, to make one for herself, what was her reason for such haste as that?
osu.32435064719784	“ Laneham, ” Bishop demanded, “ in the name of all that's unholy!—what are you going to do? ” “ What am I going to do?
osu.32435064719784	“ Laneham, ” Bishop demanded, “ in the name of all that's unholy!—what are you going to do? ” “ What am I going to do?
osu.32435064719784	“ Maddalina, Maddalina! ” “ Si, si, signore. ” 146 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ No, you and the Doctor, probably, ” Will- 308 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ No?—And, Lord, it was a hurry, too, was n’t it? ” “ Oh, that — you must n't let that trouble you.
osu.32435064719784	“ Officer Payton? ” the Doctor called.
osu.32435064719784	“ Oh, well, ” said Bishop, “ let them have her 150 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR?
osu.32435064719784	“ Old man, ” he said, “ is there any part of this that we ’ll ever be able to understand?
osu.32435064719784	“ Prison reform?
osu.32435064719784	“ Shall I not rather say lost wo- man ’s? ” “ Easy, now, Bishy.
osu.32435064719784	“ Shall I tell the officers to come up? ” he asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ Some of those basic principles you were laying down for me this afternoon, what were they again?
osu.32435064719784	“ Take care! ” cried Bishop suddenly; “ Daphne! ” For, whatever the actual scene had been be- 148 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Tell me, Mr. Commissioner, ” he asked at once, “ have the E. P. people located the wall safe yet? ” “ No.
osu.32435064719784	“ The burned magazine? ” asked Willings.
osu.32435064719784	“ The city has 138 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Then if it is n’t, in the Lord ’s name, ” de- manded Willings, “ what will the next step be? ” “ I do n’t know yet myself.
osu.32435064719784	“ There ’s only one thing we must do to- 256 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ We are con- 310 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Well, Laney, what now? ” “ I must try now to put myself right with McGloyne. ” “ McGloyne!
osu.32435064719784	“ Well, Laney? ” asked Bishop, wonderingly.
osu.32435064719784	“ Well, he pretty near got you, did n’t he? ” he asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ Well, there I sat,'earing Maddalina mov- 94 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Well? ” asked Bishop.
osu.32435064719784	“ Well? ” “ Bish, ” said the Doctor, “ it ’s a call, all right.
osu.32435064719784	“ Well? ” “ Where have you seen that before?
osu.32435064719784	“ Well? ” “ Where have you seen that before?
osu.32435064719784	“ What are you toing here? ” “ I ’m here — I’m here for Dr. Laneham. ” “ You lie!
osu.32435064719784	“ What did you do it for? ” “ There ’s no more reason why I should stay behind — than you. ” And there was nothing for it now.
osu.32435064719784	“ What iss it? ” And when McGloyne repeated, — “ Ashes? ” he cried angrily.
osu.32435064719784	“ What iss it? ” And when McGloyne repeated, — “ Ashes? ” he cried angrily.
osu.32435064719784	“ What iss it? ” His voice was dry with fear.
osu.32435064719784	“ What iss? ” Fisher started, with a jerk of nerves that was like an explosion.
osu.32435064719784	“ What of him? ” AGAIN D. HOPE 65 “ He ’s in Japan somewhere.
osu.32435064719784	“ What of him? ” “ I ’ll tell you what about Jimmy.
osu.32435064719784	“ What was it, that morning and a few hours before her death, that made her sud- denly resolve to make that new will, and at once?
osu.32435064719784	“ What was it? ” Laneham asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ What — what is his name? ” asked D. Hope.
osu.32435064719784	“ What ’s Fisher himself doing now? ” he asked abruptly.
osu.32435064719784	“ Where am I?
osu.32435064719784	“ Where did he come from? ” “ From nowhere, I ’ve told you, unless it was that swimmin ” place, where he done his first murder.
osu.32435064719784	“ Where else? ” They returned to the sitting- room.
osu.32435064719784	“ Who is it? ” repeated Laneham.
osu.32435064719784	“ Why that? ” “ Heaven knows.
osu.32435064719784	“ Why, it ’s only Jacobs, I imagine, ” said Laneham, “ only Jacobs. ” 100 BEHIND THE BOLTED DOOR.?
osu.32435064719784	“ Will you do some- thing to help?
osu.32435064719784	“ Will you stop, you fool? ” the Doctor cried again.
osu.32435064719784	“ With or without the Silver? ” “ Nonsense, man, nonsense.
osu.32435064719784	“ Wo n’t they — won’t they have to do some- thing with him for awhile? ” asked D. Hope.
osu.32435064719784	“ Would you know her writing if you saw it? ” Willings whispered.
osu.32435064719784	“ Yes, we had been writing a play together. ” “ Oh, ” cried D. Hope, “ was that it? ” “ Yes, that was it.
osu.32435064719784	“ You ai n’t ever heard it before, Professor? ” he asked.
osu.32435064719784	“ You do feel that he could n’t have done it, do n’t you? ” It was a plea.
osu.32435064719784	“ You do?
osu.32435064719784	“ You mean some one on the'phone? ” de- manded Laneham.
osu.32435064719784	“ You ’ll never, Doctor? ” she cried, “ you ’ll never give him up?
osu.32435064719784	“ You ’ll never, Doctor? ” she cried, “ you ’ll never give him up?
osu.32435064719784	“ You ’re not going to think that?

uc1.b4386173	'Cause how?
uc1.b4386173	. ” “ You think they ’ll do it at home? ” “ Surest thing you know.
uc1.b4386173	A very interesting chap, is n’t he? ” Corwin inclined his head gravely.
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't it so? ” Corwin was staring at Hanvey in amazement.
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't it swell? ”- And beaming with pride Hanvey exhibited the gift of the fastidious Gerald Corwin.
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't it, Jamieson? ” “ Yes — yes indeed. ” Cliff glanced curiously at the competent Jamieson.
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't no use of my arresting you unless you're going to plead guilty. ” “ Sometimes you ’re a real humorist, Jim. ” “ Ai n't I?
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't that clever? ” “ Awful! ” He inhaled deeply.
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't that so? ” “ That is the obvious conclusion. ”- “ Well, now — so it is.
uc1.b4386173	Ai n't that the sensible thing, Miss Madge? ” “ It is. ” She clipped her words short with a manner- ism keenly remindful of her father.
uc1.b4386173	Ai nt that it? ” “ You state it rather crudely, Mr. Hanvey, but you have hit the bull's- eye. ” “ Well, ” Jim slumped in his chair.
uc1.b4386173	Am I listen- ing to a statement or a confession? ” “ A statement, sir. ” “ H’m! ” Warren was himself again.
uc1.b4386173	An exact amount? ” Cliff was more at ease.
uc1.b4386173	An ’ was n’t you wonderin ’ how you was gon na work it?
uc1.b4386173	An'you're doubtful about beginnin'at all, ai nt you, Mr. Weston? ” “ No.
uc1.b4386173	And in Paris at the same time Lathrop and Tim were, was Walter Yeager. ” “ Yeager? ” Hanvey exhibited keen interest.
uc1.b4386173	And now about the vault — you did n't attract any particular attention there, did you? ” “ No- o.
uc1.b4386173	And now—“You’re working for the insurance company are n't you, Jim? ” “ Yeh. ” Hanvey was very open about it.
uc1.b4386173	And the climate — ” “ Hotter’n this, ai n't it? ” She did n't answer.
uc1.b4386173	And you're not sorry? ” “ No- o- and yes.
uc1.b4386173	Arthur Sherwood in? ” “ Yeh.
uc1.b4386173	As a matter of fact, I do n't believe you're going to arrest me for that little affair. ” “ Why not? ” “ You ca n’t prove a thing.
uc1.b4386173	Billy knew where you had the proxy, did n't you, Billy? ” Scanlan nodded.
uc1.b4386173	But the point is — where ’ll we meet? ” Mr. Braden did some careful thinking.
uc1.b4386173	But why the job?
uc1.b4386173	But why?
uc1.b4386173	But why? ” “ Because, Arthur, I laid an awful clever trap for you, an ’ you fell into it.
uc1.b4386173	But, Jim, he's planning to dig into'em now. ”- “ Yeh? ” HELEN OF TROY, N. Y.
uc1.b4386173	By the way, how ’s my little friend Pauline? ” The girl made a wry face.
uc1.b4386173	Ca n't you tell? ” “ Where did you get them? ” “ Had'em made from the descriptions the insur- ance company has.
uc1.b4386173	Ca n't you tell? ” “ Where did you get them? ” “ Had'em made from the descriptions the insur- ance company has.
uc1.b4386173	Clear?
uc1.b4386173	Con? ” She shook her head.
uc1.b4386173	Get that?
uc1.b4386173	Gov'ment, was n’t it? ” She nodded.
uc1.b4386173	Hanvey? ” “ Yeh.
uc1.b4386173	He has tried. ” “ How do you know? ” Kirk's face flushed.
uc1.b4386173	He hemmed and hawed for a mo- ment and then — “ I hope you ’ll pardon me, sir — but how shall I make this check out? ” Tommy frowned.
uc1.b4386173	He put his thoughts into unspoken words — “ What the hell is Jim Hanvey doing here?
uc1.b4386173	He took my advice for once. ” “ Your advice? ” “ Sure!
uc1.b4386173	He voiced a question — “ What happened, Jim? ” It was Madge Weston who answered.
uc1.b4386173	He ’d probably say you did n’t do it, would n't you, Mr. Hanvey? ” “ Yeh. ” Jim's big head nodded slowly.
uc1.b4386173	He's got a bankroll so big you ’d have to have four eyes to see it all. ” “ Then why the alias? ” she queried practically.
uc1.b4386173	He's never done it before. ” “ Did What? ” “ Hung over the counter while I was cashing your pay- roll check.
uc1.b4386173	Here ’s where ol'sleuth gits in his dirty work, ai n’t it? ” She designated the library door.
uc1.b4386173	How can I help? ” “ I have been told that you know crooks better than any other man in the world.
uc1.b4386173	How much? ” “ Dollar eighty. ” Hanvey handed him a two- dollar bill.
uc1.b4386173	How're you an ’ Johnny gettin'along? ” “ Mighty well. ” “ Who you doin’ for a livin ’? ” “ The public.
uc1.b4386173	How're you an ’ Johnny gettin'along? ” “ Mighty well. ” “ Who you doin’ for a livin ’? ” “ The public.
uc1.b4386173	How's Johnny? ” The woman's face clouded slightly.
uc1.b4386173	How?
uc1.b4386173	I ask you pointblank, Jim Hanvey — will you under- take the task of saving my daughter from this man? ” Jim lighted a fresh cigar.
uc1.b4386173	I like'em. ” “ The other tenants do n't kick? ” “ Dunno.
uc1.b4386173	I reckon I know more about this affair than you do. ” “ That's interesting. ” 48 JIM HANVEY, DETECTIVE “ Ai n’t it?
uc1.b4386173	I reckon that ’s about all I need from you. ” All?
uc1.b4386173	I wonder if you'd talk to me for a minute? ” She arched her brows in surprise.
uc1.b4386173	I — well, do you mind if I tell Warren that you ’re here to help him — to help us? ” “ No, ” returned Jim dryly, “ I do n't mind.
uc1.b4386173	I ’ll hand you one thing, son — you sure are — what- you- call- it?—an opportu- nist. ”-& 4Am I? ” “ You are.
uc1.b4386173	I ’ve been so alone y?
uc1.b4386173	If this was April, what, then, would July be?
uc1.b4386173	If you arrest me and say that I confessed I ’ll simply deny it, and where will you be?
uc1.b4386173	Interested? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4386173	Is n't that simple? ” THE KNIGHT ’S GAMBIT 223 Madge sat at her window, staring seriously across the silhouette of hills.
uc1.b4386173	Is that clear now? ” “ Sure — sure it is, Gus.
uc1.b4386173	It was Jim who punctured the silence: “ Ai n’t you glad to see me, Johnny? ” “ Why should n't I be? ”- “ I ’ll bite.
uc1.b4386173	It was Jim who punctured the silence: “ Ai n’t you glad to see me, Johnny? ” “ Why should n't I be? ”- “ I ’ll bite.
uc1.b4386173	It's good to see you again. ” “ Yeh, ai n't it?
uc1.b4386173	Johnny's just naturally plannin ’ to get wicked again, ai n’t he? ” “ And I do n't want him to.
uc1.b4386173	Lemme see — when ’s he plannin ’ to pass this bum check? ” “ Two or three days.
uc1.b4386173	Let me play it my own way? ” He thought for a moment before replying.
uc1.b4386173	Like a jellyfish. ” “ I wonder why he did that?
uc1.b4386173	Mr. James Hanvey. ” “ Huh! ” The boy plugged in viciously, and then, into the transmitter: “ That you, Mistuh Sherwood?
uc1.b4386173	Mr. Weston? ” “ I am Mr. Weston. ” “ Mr.
uc1.b4386173	Of course we did n't know how we'd like it, but we did think it was worth trying — understand? ” “ Sure!
uc1.b4386173	Opportunist — ain’t that the word I used before?
uc1.b4386173	Said he, “ Once seen, never forgotten. ” “ You think I'm looking well, Jim? ” “ Terrible good.
uc1.b4386173	Say, listen — how'bout raising the ante a grand or two? ” “ Do n’t be silly, Mickey.
uc1.b4386173	Say, you ai n’t sure about that, are you, Susie? ” “ No.
uc1.b4386173	See? ” Arthur saw.
uc1.b4386173	So Johnny is fixing to borrow on his Liberties. ” “ Borrow? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4386173	So leave me be, wo n't you? ” “ I ai n’t aimin ’ to bother you none, Billy.
uc1.b4386173	Suppose Hanvey had dis- covered the location of his safety- deposit box and the name in which it was held?
uc1.b4386173	Suppose Hanvey should accuse him at this moment, when he was on the verge of con- fession?
uc1.b4386173	THE KNIGHT ’S GAMBIT 199 “ You know him? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who is he? ” Jim favored the man with a prolonged scrutiny.
uc1.b4386173	THE KNIGHT ’S GAMBIT 199 “ You know him? ” “ Yes. ” “ Who is he? ” Jim favored the man with a prolonged scrutiny.
uc1.b4386173	That ’s a swell word, ai n't it?
uc1.b4386173	That ’s natural. ” “ Are n't you? ” “ Not at all. ” He stopped the car as if to light a cigarette.
uc1.b4386173	That's why I've come to you. ” “ What's why? ” “ I want you to keep him straight.
uc1.b4386173	The point is he has n’t been crooked — understand? ” “ Sure!
uc1.b4386173	The question is, what? ” He turned his gaze upon Wallace.
uc1.b4386173	Them?
uc1.b4386173	Theodore Weston? ” “ Yes. ” “ Gosh.
uc1.b4386173	Tommy, you ai n't going away, are you? ” Mr. Braden was flustered.
uc1.b4386173	Understand? ” Hanvey was apparently not listening.
uc1.b4386173	Understand? ”- “ Yes. ” And then the feminine side of the girl flooded to the surface.
uc1.b4386173	Walk right in. ” “ Good! ” “ And, say? ” “ Yes? ” “ Do n’t expect me to get up.
uc1.b4386173	Walk right in. ” “ Good! ” “ And, say? ” “ Yes? ” “ Do n’t expect me to get up.
uc1.b4386173	What are you here for? ” Jim's voice was mildly reproving.
uc1.b4386173	What assurance had he that Han- vey and Scanlan were not confederates?
uc1.b4386173	What in the world should cause you embarrassment about wanting to buy my pearls?
uc1.b4386173	What make? ” “ My own, ” answered Tommy Braden suavely.
uc1.b4386173	What was the significance of that?
uc1.b4386173	What you doin'nursin'a kid? ” He could discern the struggle which she was under- going.
uc1.b4386173	What you expect me to do? ” “ The job he ’s planning, Jim, is a bank job.
uc1.b4386173	What you ringin'so much about? ” “ Jim?
uc1.b4386173	What you ringin'so much about? ” “ Jim?
uc1.b4386173	What you want me to do? ” “ Go up and talk to him. ” “ Alone? ” HELEN OF TROY, N. Y.
uc1.b4386173	What you want me to do? ” “ Go up and talk to him. ” “ Alone? ” HELEN OF TROY, N. Y.
uc1.b4386173	What's the matter?
uc1.b4386173	What's the result?
uc1.b4386173	When?
uc1.b4386173	Where does that get you? ” “ A heap of places, Arthur.
uc1.b4386173	Who did he ever kill? ”- “ Jared Mallory, ” explained the excited young man, “ is one of the richest nuts in the United States: that ’s all.
uc1.b4386173	Who do you think it is? ” “ How many guesses do I get? ” Her eyes burned into his, her voice trembled.
uc1.b4386173	Who do you think it is? ” “ How many guesses do I get? ” Her eyes burned into his, her voice trembled.
uc1.b4386173	Who said anything about welching?
uc1.b4386173	Who wants to see him? ” Hanvey's bushy eyebrows arched in surprise.
uc1.b4386173	Why did you tell him the correct day? ” “ I never lie to a crook, ” said Jim gravely.
uc1.b4386173	Why, then, this grotesque and goggle- eyed sleuth?
uc1.b4386173	Why? ” “ Gentlemen, ” she explained, “ do not use gold tooth- picks. ” Jim turned quizzically to Mary.
uc1.b4386173	Why? ” “ If you think you ’ve got anything on me — ” “ Aw, g’wan, Johnny!
uc1.b4386173	You do n’t care who you call a liar, do you? ” “ No I do n’t, an y?
uc1.b4386173	You do n’t care who you call a liar, do you? ” “ No I do n’t, an y?
uc1.b4386173	You do n’t mind my callin'myself clever, do you, Arthur?
uc1.b4386173	You done what I suggested?
uc1.b4386173	You fel- lers will cash'em in somewheres jy “ How about the numbers?
uc1.b4386173	You here? ” HOMESPUN SILK 69 “ Naw!
uc1.b4386173	You know good and well, Jim, there ai n't any crook can buck you and get away with it, is there? ” Jim grinned.
uc1.b4386173	You promise? ” “ Sure!
uc1.b4386173	You see, the primary essential is that you come here as my guest for two or three weeks. ” “ In this house?
uc1.b4386173	You've put on flesh, but you ’ve been care- ful where you put it. ” “ That's all that counts, is n’t it? ” “ Yep.
uc1.b4386173	ai n't they beauts? ” Tommy's eyes glittered with the appreciation of a connoisseur.
uc1.b4386173	him?
uc1.b4386173	what's the use of letting myself get all worked up?
uc1.b4386173	Šuppose he had actually secured the gems?
uc1.b4386173	“ Ai nt she the CAVEAT EMPTOR 157 bright kid? ” He grew serious then—“Come out of it, Sister.
uc1.b4386173	“ Ai n’t it? ” “ Yup.
uc1.b4386173	“ Always a gent, eh, Arthur?
uc1.b4386173	“ Amount correct? ” questioned Johnny crisply.
uc1.b4386173	“ And that is n’t all. ” “ No? ” Jim's query was a mere indication of interest rather than an effort to extract further information.
uc1.b4386173	“ And that is —? ” “ — That I be allowed a free hand.
uc1.b4386173	“ Anything else, Sir? ” he interrogated meekly.
uc1.b4386173	“ Awful soft, eh, Arthur? ” The host smiled, exhibiting twin rows of even white teeth.
uc1.b4386173	“ Bank job, eh?
uc1.b4386173	“ By the way, are we golfing in the morning?
uc1.b4386173	“ Can you blame him, Eddie?
uc1.b4386173	“ Did n't you come all the way from New York just for that?
uc1.b4386173	“ Did n't you come to me, Helen, an ’ ask me to keep Johnny from goin’ crooked? ” She nodded.
uc1.b4386173	“ Did n't you? ”- “ Nope.
uc1.b4386173	“ Do n’t you know? ” “ I can guess. ” “ A'right.
uc1.b4386173	“ Do you understand, Jim? ” “ Ehf ” He blinked with interminable slowness.
uc1.b4386173	“ Done what? ” “ Steal them jools off Mrs. Haley. ” “ I? ” “ Yeh — you.
uc1.b4386173	“ Done what? ” “ Steal them jools off Mrs. Haley. ” “ I? ” “ Yeh — you.
uc1.b4386173	“ Friend of yours? ” “ Yes. ” “ Awful pretty girl. ” Hanvey moved away.
uc1.b4386173	“ Game?
uc1.b4386173	“ Goshamighty, Ella — wasn’t he sore when he found out folks knew who he was? ” She nodded.
uc1.b4386173	“ Hanvey? ” “ Yeh? ” “ Come here. ” Jim rose with a grunt and waddled across the room.
uc1.b4386173	“ Hanvey? ” “ Yeh? ” “ Come here. ” Jim rose with a grunt and waddled across the room.
uc1.b4386173	“ Have you? ” “ Yes. ” “ What? ” CAVEAT EMPTOR 175 room.
uc1.b4386173	“ Have you? ” “ Yes. ” “ What? ” CAVEAT EMPTOR 175 room.
uc1.b4386173	“ He did? ” “ Certainly.
uc1.b4386173	“ He promised to keep me straight? ” “ Yeh.
uc1.b4386173	“ How about it, Hanvey? ” Jim grinned.
uc1.b4386173	“ How c'n you look so cool when it's so durned hot? ” She bit her lip.
uc1.b4386173	“ How do you stand this heat? ” She laughed.
uc1.b4386173	“ How much I owe you, Son? ” The meter was consulted — a mere matter of form.
uc1.b4386173	“ How much does it amount to, Son? ” “ Seventy- two, fifty. ” Jim whistled.
uc1.b4386173	“ How you like'em, Arthur? ”- Sherwood appeared'at ease, but his nerves were un- der a terrific tension.
uc1.b4386173	“ How'bout a little three- handed game of setback? ” Chairs were drawn up.
uc1.b4386173	“ How'bout his Suitcase? ” “ I looked in there, of course. ” “ Sure — of course you did, son.
uc1.b4386173	“ I ai n’t accused you of nothin', have I, Whitey? ” Kirk stood rigid, staring from one to the other.
uc1.b4386173	“ I do n’t yet understand. ” “ You do n’t?
uc1.b4386173	“ I judge you have refer- ence to my pearls? ” “ No!
uc1.b4386173	“ I ’m awful strong for swell clothes, ai nt you? ” “ I do n’t notice them much. ” Jim sighed disappointedly.
uc1.b4386173	“ I ’m kinder cute yet, ai n't I? ” “ I hope not, Jim, ” was the answer.
uc1.b4386173	“ I ’ve been trying to figure out your little play, Jim. ” “ Have you? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4386173	“ I ’ve got it pretty straight so far, have n't I, Arthur? ” The other man smiled.
uc1.b4386173	“ If I may ask, Mr. Hanvey, how do you know that he is the Quincy- Scott agent? ” Jim shrugged his fat shoulders.
uc1.b4386173	“ In Paris? ” “ Yeh.
uc1.b4386173	“ Is that Mr. Hanvey? ” “ Almost. ” “ This is a friend of yours, Jim. ” “ Ai n’t got any friends today.
uc1.b4386173	“ It ’s gon na be pretty tough, Arthur — givin'up all of this. ” “ Is it? ” “ Uh- huh.
uc1.b4386173	“ It's all off, Phyllis. ” “ What do you mean? ” “ Hanvey knows I did it.
uc1.b4386173	“ Jared Mallory? ” he said half to himself.
uc1.b4386173	“ Jim, you should n't. ” “ What? ” “ Smoke those cigars indoors. ” “ Oh!
uc1.b4386173	“ Johnny's planning to pull a job! ” “ Huh? ” 114 JIM HANVEY, DETECTIVE “ Johnny's planning to pull another job.
uc1.b4386173	“ Just between friends — you did steal them jools, did n't you? ” “ Between friends? ” “ Uh- huh. ” “ Yes, I stole them.
uc1.b4386173	“ Just between friends — you did steal them jools, did n't you? ” “ Between friends? ” “ Uh- huh. ” “ Yes, I stole them.
uc1.b4386173	“ Listen, Ella — you heard him say they were his private cigarettes? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4386173	“ May I come to see you this evening, Phyllis? ” He did that four or five evenings a week; they were se- cretly engaged.
uc1.b4386173	“ Me?
uc1.b4386173	“ Miss Phyllis Robinson. ” “ You are acquainted with her? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4386173	“ O death, where is thy heat? ” Jim was capable of intense feeling, and this day that capability was working overtime.
uc1.b4386173	“ Oh, about Johnny an'his gamblin ’ house an'the Liberty Bonds an ’ all that?
uc1.b4386173	“ On the level? ” “ Surest thing you know! ” “ Well”—and Johnny sighed—“I s'pose I might as well keep on like I ’ve been going.
uc1.b4386173	“ Paste. ” “ Paste? ” “ Sure.
uc1.b4386173	“ Snitched on me, eh?
uc1.b4386173	“ So that's it, eh?
uc1.b4386173	“ Son! ” “ What? ” HOMESPUN SILK 45 “ Next time I come remember I ai n't no guy.
uc1.b4386173	“ Stick it away?
uc1.b4386173	“ Straight, Jim? ” “ Here's my hand on it.
uc1.b4386173	“ Swell, ai n't it? ” queried Jim.
uc1.b4386173	“ Teddy Nelson, eh? ” “ Yes — Teddy.
uc1.b4386173	“ Teddy was there again last night. ” “ Sure enough? ” “ Yes — for three hours.
uc1.b4386173	“ That ai n’t ever been exactly in my line. ” “ I ’m putting up the kale, ai n't I? ” queried Johnny.
uc1.b4386173	“ The best hotel? ” repeated the messenger, pleased at having been questioned.
uc1.b4386173	“ Then you were n't even working on my case? ” “ No, I was n’t workin'on your case.
uc1.b4386173	“ They do n’t suspect you? ” “ Certainly not.
uc1.b4386173	“ Think we got somethin', son. ” “ What? ” “ We ’ll See. ” The suitcase was reopened and Hanvey fumbled in- side for a moment.
uc1.b4386173	“ Trying to make me appre- hensive? ”- “ No; just talkin'sense.
uc1.b4386173	“ Very much. ” “ Look familiar? ” Sherwood nodded frankly.
uc1.b4386173	“ Was n't your fingers itching to grab them stones an ’ run, Arthur? ” “ I ’m very fond of jewelry, Jim. ” “ Sure!
uc1.b4386173	“ Well? ” She leaned forward tensely.
uc1.b4386173	“ What are they, Jim? ” Hanvey grinned genially.
uc1.b4386173	“ What is it, Mrs. Morse?
uc1.b4386173	“ What is it? ”- Jim touched a button and a wicked and glistening point appeared.
uc1.b4386173	“ What makes you think I got that stuff? ” “ I do n’t think it, Arthur; I know it.
uc1.b4386173	“ What you tryin ’ to do — vamp me? ” “ Lord forbid!
uc1.b4386173	“ What ’s that? ” “ It's — well, you see — ” His face went blank.
uc1.b4386173	“ What'll I do, Jim? ” “ Just stick around to look after the remains — if any. ” “ You ’re not expecting anything rough? ” “ Naw.
uc1.b4386173	“ What'll I do, Jim? ” “ Just stick around to look after the remains — if any. ” “ You ’re not expecting anything rough? ” “ Naw.
uc1.b4386173	“ What's he doin’ now?
uc1.b4386173	“ What's that? ” he inquired with frigid polite- IneSS.
uc1.b4386173	“ What's the big idea, Jim? ” “ Hmm!
uc1.b4386173	“ What's the matter, son?
uc1.b4386173	“ What's your game, Jim? ” Whitey Kirk came straight to the point.
uc1.b4386173	“ What? ” His voice was toneless.
uc1.b4386173	“ Where have you got that proxy, Billy? ” Scanlan laughed.
uc1.b4386173	“ Where'd you search? ” Corwin told him.
uc1.b4386173	“ Who are you? ” The suggestion of a sneer wreathed Nelson's lips.
uc1.b4386173	“ Who is this bird Mallory — that you should get all het up over him?
uc1.b4386173	“ Who presented the Jones company check, Mr. Wallace? ” Cliff steeled himself to impassivity.
uc1.b4386173	“ Who wrote them words? ” She flushed.
uc1.b4386173	“ Who? ” “ Billy Scanlan, alias Gentleman William, alias Flash Billy, alias Roger van Dorn, alias, a half dozen other things.
uc1.b4386173	“ Why do n’t you arrest Scanlan? ” “ Arrest him?
uc1.b4386173	“ Why do n’t you arrest Scanlan? ” “ Arrest him?
uc1.b4386173	“ Why, me, of course. ” “ Who you is? ” “ Hanvey is my name.
uc1.b4386173	“ Yeh? ” “ Are you alone? ” “ Entirely. ” “ Can I come up — now? ” “ You tell'em.
uc1.b4386173	“ Yeh? ” “ Are you alone? ” “ Entirely. ” “ Can I come up — now? ” “ You tell'em.
uc1.b4386173	“ Yeh? ” “ Are you alone? ” “ Entirely. ” “ Can I come up — now? ” “ You tell'em.
uc1.b4386173	“ Yes? ” They spoke eagerly in chorus.
uc1.b4386173	“ You did n’t go an ’ do that, did you, Billy? ” Scanlan grinned.
uc1.b4386173	“ You fellers like each other? ” They nodded.
uc1.b4386173	“ You got any recent suspicions of Teddy? ” Jim's head inclined.
uc1.b4386173	“ You promise to keep him straight, Jim?
uc1.b4386173	“ You promise, dearie — promise to keep straight for- ever and ever? ” HELEN OF TROY, N. Y.
uc1.b4386173	“ You put it there yourself? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4386173	“ You understand what I wanted with you, Jim? ” “ Yeh, sure I understand, Helen.
uc1.b4386173	“ You wo n’t fail, Han- vey. ” “ Why not? ” “ Because, ” replied the other, “ it means too much to Madge.
uc1.b4386173	“ You — you are what? ” “ My cash is one hundred thousand dollars short. ” The statement appeared to have difficulty in pene- trating.
uc1.b4386173	“ You — you'll help? ” she choked.
uc1.b4386173	“ You — you're free, Cliff? ” “ Obviously. ” The man was a poser; this was too perfect an opportunity to miss.
uc1.b4386173	“ You ’ll lay off me, wo n't you, Jim? ” “ Huh? ” “ You ’ll give me a free hand in this matter, wo n’t you?
uc1.b4386173	“ You ’ll lay off me, wo n't you, Jim? ” “ Huh? ” “ You ’ll give me a free hand in this matter, wo n’t you?
uc1.b4386173	“ You ’ll lay off me, wo n't you, Jim? ” “ Huh? ” “ You ’ll give me a free hand in this matter, wo n’t you?
uc1.b4386173	“ You ’re not going to arrest me, Jim. ” “ Why not? ” “ Because you ca n’t prove a thing. ” Jim grinned.
uc1.b4386173	“ You? ” “ Uh- huh!

uiug.30112045841613	Added?
uiug.30112045841613	Ah, yes, just so, just so! ’ ‘ Is this likely to be of long duration? ’ asked Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	Ai n’t I a- goin ’ to tell yer'all what I do know? ’ 2 16 Morrison ’s Machine ‘ Yes, go on, tell us, Stumpy, ’ said George, impatiently.
uiug.30112045841613	Am I ill?
uiug.30112045841613	And if Morrison had talked to Stumpy Todd, why should he not have talked to others?
uiug.30112045841613	And who ’s going to say whether it is a full- blooded lie or a half~ truth?
uiug.30112045841613	And yet, he further said to him- self, was it not true that madness and genius not seldom went together?
uiug.30112045841613	And you want me to make it? ’ Morrison's face fell.
uiug.30112045841613	And, Lucy, there ’s another thing we must do, and the sooner the better. ’ ‘ What ’s that, George? ’ she asked.
uiug.30112045841613	Are you getting them regularly? ’ Morrison turned a puzzled look upon his tormentor.
uiug.30112045841613	Are you going for a holiday, Stumpy?
uiug.30112045841613	Are you going there to — night? ’ ‘ I ’ve just come from there, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	Are you going to stayhere for some time? ’ 32 Morrison ’s Machine ‘ Well, what if I am? ’ ‘ Oh, nothing — I do n’t care.
uiug.30112045841613	Are you going to stayhere for some time? ’ 32 Morrison ’s Machine ‘ Well, what if I am? ’ ‘ Oh, nothing — I do n’t care.
uiug.30112045841613	Are you ready?
uiug.30112045841613	Better than Wridsdale ’s. ’_ 56 Morrison ’s Machine ‘ Think so? ’ ‘ Umph! ’ grunted Stumpy.
uiug.30112045841613	But how do I know that it is n’t because she ’s hanging out for higher terms?
uiug.30112045841613	But how far are they at variance?
uiug.30112045841613	But how shall we contradict it so that everybody will know?
uiug.30112045841613	But if there was something which Mr Broadclough particu- larly desired him to see —?
uiug.30112045841613	But what did that matter?
uiug.30112045841613	But what of the future?
uiug.30112045841613	But — do you expect to ever have information of that sort?
uiug.30112045841613	But, oh, George, what 92 Morrison ’s Machine shall we do about Richard?
uiug.30112045841613	By- the- bye, what do I owe you for printing that special article?
uiug.30112045841613	Clapham has only just come; I expect he ’ll be out soon. ’ Messengers of Sorrow I 07 ‘ Have you sent to Miss Morrison? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	Could there be some connection between the two?
uiug.30112045841613	Did it ever strike you, Broadclough, that it is not always easy to right the wrong? ’ ‘ It never did, until recently, ’ answered George.
uiug.30112045841613	Did n’t you notice something strange about him yourself? ’ ‘ He — he certainly has been strange of late, ” George admitted.
uiug.30112045841613	Do n’t be afraid of asking too much?"
uiug.30112045841613	Do n’t you realise that it is bound to do me harm, coming as it does im- mediately after the publication of that special article?
uiug.30112045841613	Do you know anything of that? ’ George felt that something was in the air.
uiug.30112045841613	Do you know — do you realise? ’ Morrison nodded his head slowly; his eyes fixed themselves dreamily upon the drawing.
uiug.30112045841613	Do you remember when he made that improvement in your sewing- machine?
uiug.30112045841613	Do you think that testimony will ever be given? ’ The doctor shook his head.
uiug.30112045841613	Does it never strike you that you wo n’t do your health any good by working so late?
uiug.30112045841613	Eh, George? ’ George ’s face was a study of intense admiration.
uiug.30112045841613	Eh? ’ Dr Greenholme smiled slightly.
uiug.30112045841613	Even as things are, I ’ve a mind to do it — a great mind to do it! ’ ‘ To do what? ’ asked George, wonderingly.
uiug.30112045841613	George, is it? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	Good heavens, what is it he knows? ’ ‘ That, ’ said Cleaver, ‘ is what we must find out.
uiug.30112045841613	Had Wridsdale heard any later news?
uiug.30112045841613	Have you heard anything to- day from Holmwood? ’ ‘ Yes, ’ answered George.
uiug.30112045841613	Have you thought? ’ ‘ I ’ve done nothing else but think all night, ’ answered George.
uiug.30112045841613	He does n’t suffer, you think? ’ ‘ He is in very good health, ’ said the doctor.
uiug.30112045841613	He is rendered useless at the very moment he would have been most useful. ’ ‘ Yes? ’ said George, questioningly.
uiug.30112045841613	He knew what to do with wealth — what could Morrison do with it?
uiug.30112045841613	He knows. ’ ‘ Think so?
uiug.30112045841613	He saw the machine there before him — on his oath, who was the real inventor of it?
uiug.30112045841613	He sent me for you. ’ ‘ Has he sent anybody for Miss Morrison? ’ Smith was not able to answer this question.
uiug.30112045841613	He smiled again and shook his head, and again asked himself, Why?
uiug.30112045841613	He told me the machine was finished the previous afternoon; why should he want to go back to the works at mid- night?
uiug.30112045841613	He used to do a lot of work at home, did n’t he? ’ ‘ Yes, ’ answered Lucy.
uiug.30112045841613	He ’s no legal right to look after him, has he, George? ’ ‘ Not a bit!
uiug.30112045841613	How can he go on like that without a break- down of some sort? ’ ‘ He does get something during the day, though, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	How could Stumpy Todd have found him out?
uiug.30112045841613	How long will this take you? ’ ‘ A month, ’ answered Morrison.
uiug.30112045841613	How was I to know that the young woman would be so foolish? ’ ‘ All the same, it is a pity, ’ said the older man again.
uiug.30112045841613	I denounced them by name. ’ ‘ Yes? ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	I expect one of them out in a minute. ’ ‘ What does it all mean? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	I never The Aid of the Law 253 you ’ll proceed against Cleaver?
uiug.30112045841613	I realise — and I ’ve done it. ’ ‘ You ’ve done it? — you!
uiug.30112045841613	I say, Lucy, I wonder if there is anything in Richard ’s papers that would give us any clue to this affair?
uiug.30112045841613	I say, this is a pretty hot article of Cleaver ’s, is n’t it?
uiug.30112045841613	I trust you have no worse news of your brother?
uiug.30112045841613	I unlocked the door — it was n’t a pleasant sight, Broadclough. ’ ‘ What was it? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	I wonder what this thing is he is making? ’ ‘ It ’s something very big, Lucy.
uiug.30112045841613	I wonder, now, if that scrawl was written by one of Wridsdale ’s workpeople — by some man who has had an opportunity of finding something out?
uiug.30112045841613	I ’ll see you elsewhere, you know. ’ ‘ You ’re not leaving, Broadclough? ’ exclaimed the head clerk.
uiug.30112045841613	I80 Morrison ’s Ma chine ‘ What can I do for you, Mr Wridsdale? ’ asked Cleaver.
uiug.30112045841613	If Stumpy Todd knew his secret, why should not others know it?
uiug.30112045841613	In the Guarded Room 63 ‘ How do I know? ’ retorted Stumpy.
uiug.30112045841613	Is there anything we can do?
uiug.30112045841613	It was meat and drink, wife?
uiug.30112045841613	It was you who wrote me the letter signed “ One who knows, ” was it not? ’ ‘ Yes, it were, ’ answered Stumpy.
uiug.30112045841613	Lots 0 ’ things a man can make, is n’t there? ’ Wridsdale scowled at him and went away to his private room.
uiug.30112045841613	Mine?
uiug.30112045841613	Morrison? ’ ’ ‘ Yes.
uiug.30112045841613	N o?
uiug.30112045841613	Never saw me before, did you?
uiug.30112045841613	Shall we look through his desk?
uiug.30112045841613	Stay, there is one thing I must do, and I must do it at once, George. ’ ‘ What ’s that? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	Supposing he claimed some credit in its invention?
uiug.30112045841613	Supposing that Wridsdale should play him false?
uiug.30112045841613	That was true — and where had Cleaver got the truth from?
uiug.30112045841613	That ’s him, of course. ’ ‘ Him? ’ ‘ Morrison, ’ said Stumpy.
uiug.30112045841613	The Machine is Made 77 ‘ Ring? ’ he inquired.
uiug.30112045841613	The only question to be answered was — How long would Morrison ’s insanity last?
uiug.30112045841613	There might be something in that, but how can the man be got at?
uiug.30112045841613	There ’s no reason why that should n’t be done, is there?
uiug.30112045841613	Things are very nice as they are, are n’t they, dear?
uiug.30112045841613	This is — later, eh?
uiug.30112045841613	This machine of yours is not a very monstrous affair, is it?
uiug.30112045841613	Was Morrison the sort of man who would?
uiug.30112045841613	Was Wridsdale here late that Lucy ’s Firm Conviction I 37 night?
uiug.30112045841613	Was he going to turn back?
uiug.30112045841613	Was it not always the case?
uiug.30112045841613	We talked it over very exhaustively, and somehow the time passed. ’ ‘ And what was it? ’ inquired Lucy.
uiug.30112045841613	What did Wridsdale send him out for?
uiug.30112045841613	What do you think, Lucy? ’ ‘ It would do no harm, ’ she answered.
uiug.30112045841613	What hours are you working? ’ Morrison looked at him as if he scarcely com- prehended the question.
uiug.30112045841613	What is it this time? ’ Morrison untied the roll of papers with fingers which trembled somewhat.
uiug.30112045841613	What on earth was that machine?
uiug.30112045841613	What should a man want with him at that hour?
uiug.30112045841613	What sort of machine?
uiug.30112045841613	What was that alteration?
uiug.30112045841613	What ’s it all about?
uiug.30112045841613	What ’s it all mean?
uiug.30112045841613	What ’s to be done with him? ’ ‘ He ought to be whipped and sent to bed, ’ 22 Morrison ’s Machine said the girl, retreating into the house.
uiug.30112045841613	What? ’ Wridsdale turned away and hurried down the street with a muttered oath.
uiug.30112045841613	Where are you going? ’ Morrison ’s voice was as calm and unemo- tional as it had ever been in all his life as he turned to face her.
uiug.30112045841613	Where can we get at him? ’ George threw out his arms with a gesture of despair.
uiug.30112045841613	Who can have written it?
uiug.30112045841613	Who is'it that knows? ’ ‘ You believe it, then? ’ said Cleaver.
uiug.30112045841613	Who is'it that knows? ’ ‘ You believe it, then? ’ said Cleaver.
uiug.30112045841613	Who, he said to himself, ever began a campaign without meeting disaster and reverse at some point of the initial stages?
uiug.30112045841613	Whom shall we go to? ’ ‘ Do n’t know any of ’ em, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	Why did Wridsdale sit grinning at it as if he were a love- struck lad gazing at his lass's picture?
uiug.30112045841613	Why had n’t Wridsdale sent him off to the North Pole at once?
uiug.30112045841613	Will the policeman oblige the cook in this? ’ said Lucy, with an arch smile, which caused George to assume the ro’Ye of active lover.
uiug.30112045841613	Will you let me give you a word of advice?
uiug.30112045841613	Wish I could set eyes on it. ’ ‘ hy, do you know anything about machin- ery? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	Would n’t it do in the morning? ’ ‘ No, ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	Wridsdale ’s Great Invention I 51 ‘ Well, what can we do now? ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	Wridsdale ’s taken him in hand in that respect. ’ ‘ Mr Wridsdale?
uiug.30112045841613	You know how enthusiastic he got over anything he specially took in hand. ’ ‘ Then — then the machine was — not his? ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	You tell me he has been working very hard and been very deeply interested in his work?
uiug.30112045841613	You ’d do as I do if you ’d been here as long as I have. ’ ‘ What ’s that? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	explain? ’ exclaimed Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	have a word Silenced 307 Broadclough, and that you ’re going to tell to judge and jury to- morrow, is it?
uiug.30112045841613	lt — ’'‘ I meant it's not yours and Wridsdale ’s? ’ ‘ Mine and Wridsdale ’s?
uiug.30112045841613	lt — ’'‘ I meant it's not yours and Wridsdale ’s? ’ ‘ Mine and Wridsdale ’s?
uiug.30112045841613	was it temporary or permanent?
uiug.30112045841613	was there any improve- ment?
uiug.30112045841613	when it ’s finished — well, just wait and see i ’ ‘ Is it your machine, Richard? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	why did n’t he?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ A great pity, for a simple reason — ’ ‘ And that is —? ’ asked Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Am I to let him in next Sunday?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ And so you and Miss Morrison have openly declared war against Mr Wridsdale? ’ he said pleasantly, as George made an end of his story.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ And the machine — what sort of thing may it be? ’ Wridsdale gave his questioner another long look.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Any more questions? ’ The other man said no more.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Are you telling me that Mr Wridsdale is palming off as his own an invention which really belongs to another man? ’ said the editor at last.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Believe it?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ But which of ’em?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ But — do you mean, Mr Wridsdale, that this machine, or whatever it is, was not his invention?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ But — what then? ’ ‘ Get another job, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Come, now, is n’t that so? ’ ‘ Ay-- in the end, ’ said the elderly solicitor.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Could n’t get in without, could I? ’ growled 78 Morrison ’s Machine Stumpy.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Do you know what — what that means if you ’ve really done it?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Do you mind telling me your version of all this affair? ’ he said pleasantly.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Do you, George? ’ ‘ There are mysteries and mysteries, ’ replied George, oracularly.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Done?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ George — what does it mean? ’ she said at last.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Going? ’ said Todd.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Has he sent any message? ’ he inquired.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Have you an appointment, sir? ’ he in- quired.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ He was a very clever draughtsman and mechanic, was n’t he? ’ ‘ Very, ’ said Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Him? ’ said Stumpy, jerking his head over his shoulder.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ How did you get him down here? ’ asked George, pointing to the private room.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ How do you mean — almost?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ I ca n’t think any- thing else. ’ ‘ By Wridsdale?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ I suppose you have something there which you wish me to see?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ I suppose you know what all that would mean? ’ continued Cleaver.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ I wish I ’d thought of it before. ’ ‘ What ’s that? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ I wonder if you ’d have known if it did? ’ she said, laughing and pulling at his coat.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ I ’ve heard such widely- varying accounts of it that I do n’t know what to believe. ’ ‘ Ay? ’ said Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ If people are so obstinate as to abide by a mere delusion and to refuse well- meant generosity, what can one do?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Is Mr Wridsdale there? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Is he going to be ill, George? ’ she said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Is it —? ’ he began, and looked the rest.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ It is useless to conceal from you, Mr Wrids- dale — I apprehend that this young gentleman is Mr Morrison ’s friend?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ It would n’t surprise you?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ It ’s rather cold to- night, is n’t it?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ It ’s really finished, George? ’ she asked anxiously.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Mad?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ May I know what it is?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Mr Broadclough?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ My machine?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Not come? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Not to speak of nights. ’ ‘ What the devil did you let him in for? ’ demanded Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Richard, ’ he said, ‘ is it finished? ’ Morrison looked up moodily, and nodded his head.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Seen the News, Wridsdale?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ So the rumour came from you? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Something for Mr W ridsdale ’s benefit, I expect? ’ Morrison lifted his head and looked at his sister.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ That letter from Morrison ’s sister?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ That?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ The machine affair?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ They say Philbrick ’s an awfully clever chap; suppose we go to him?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ They ’re saying all these things, are they?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Till what thing ’s finished? ’ he asked angrily.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well — what is it? ’ he snapped.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well, Mark? ’ said the older man, at last.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well, Richard, when are we to hear of this mystery? ’ Morrison threw back his head and stared at the ceiling.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well, do n’t you think that ought to be con- tradicted at once? ’ said Lucy.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well, doctor? ’ he said anxiously, ‘ what is it? ’ The doctor shook his head.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well, doctor? ’ he said anxiously, ‘ what is it? ’ The doctor shook his head.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ asked Cleaver; ‘ what do you think? ’ ‘ That ’s been written by one of Wridsdale ’s workpeople, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ asked Cleaver; ‘ what do you think? ’ ‘ That ’s been written by one of Wridsdale ’s workpeople, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ he said questioningly, ‘ and now, what do you want to do? ’ ‘ I want to make the machine, ’ answered Morrison.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ he said questioningly, ‘ and now, what do you want to do? ’ ‘ I want to make the machine, ’ answered Morrison.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ he said, pointing to the roll of papers.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Well? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What about your meals, Morrison?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What does all this rumour mean, Mark? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What evidence have we? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What have you done? ’ Wridsdale looked at him questioningly.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What is it?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What is it? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What is it? ’ asked Stumpy, with a voice full of resentment.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What made you print that letter this morn- ing? ’ demanded Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What was it that really knocked him over? ’ he asked, with a sudden malicious desire to extract such information as he could get.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What will step number two be? ’ ‘ Look out for some new work, ’ answered George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What ’s that? ’ he demanded.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What ’s the matter? ’ ‘ Mr Wridsdale wants you at once, Messengers of Sorrow 1 o 3 Mr Broadclough.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ What ’s what?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Whatever did he go out again that night for, Lucy?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Where am I? ’ said Richard.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Which —- what affair? ’ asked George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Who are you?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Who the blazes set my engine going? ’ he shouted.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Who ’s that? ’ ‘ Morrison! ’ said a voice outside.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Whose else should it have been?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Why on earth did you print her letter without consulting me?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Why, it ’s much past ten — his usual hour is nine, is n’t it? ’ ‘ Yes, sir, nine o’clock. ’ Wridsdale looked at his head clerk.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Will that slight improvement go on increas- ing? ’ he asked presently.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Would you like to see Mr Morrison? ’ he said.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Yes — and the result? ’ Don Quixote of the Press 203 that special article.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Yes, what would it mean? ’ said George, eagerly.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ Yes? ’ said Wridsdale.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You do n’t believe all that stuff in your special article, eh? ’ Cleaver rose too, and held out his hand with a smile.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You do n’t suppose I ’m fool enough to waste time and labour on other folk ’s schemes, do you?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You have not mentioned this idea to a soul, Morrison? ’ he said, coming to a standstill before the inventor.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You have noticed no change in Mr Morrison? ’ he said, as the man approached.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You have n’t the least doubt in the world about this affair? ’ said Cleaver at last, with a disconcerting abruptness.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You know exactly, Mr Broadclough, what will follow? ’ ‘ N o, I do n’t, ’ said George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You know that he has been working almost day and night at a new machine for the past month? ’ ‘ Yes, I know, ’ answered George.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You know where my house is, Todd? ’ ‘ No.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You made a secret alteration in this machine, Mr Morrison, the effect of which is known to yourself only?
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You never heard of me before? ’ said Cleaver, with a strange smile.
uiug.30112045841613	‘ You ’ll be sure to put it in the paper to- morrow morning, wo n’t you, sir?
uiug.30112045841613	’ ‘ Is there anything untrue in Miss Morrison ’s letter, Mr Wridsdale? ’ asked Cleaver.
uiug.30112045841613	’Cause why?

nyp.33433075761027	And is n't it strange,said the anxious mother,""that she does n't say a word of Mr. Reginald? ” “ Yes, it is strange."

nyp.33433075761027	Yes. ” “ May I go into his room?
nyp.33433075761027	You heard the hour strike when you had been some time in the Square?

nyp.33433075761027	But as it stands, where's the indoocement?
nyp.33433075761027	But even then, would that save Reginald?
nyp.33433075761027	But how can you tackle it when it melts and disappears?
nyp.33433075761027	But how to account for the key being upon the mat?
nyp.33433075761027	But how to obtain an entrance?
nyp.33433075761027	But look here, Applebee, it ai n't imagination, is it? ” “ Imagination! ” exclaimed Constable Applebee, in a voice of scorn.
nyp.33433075761027	But what does it all mean- what does it all mean? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	But where were the jewels?
nyp.33433075761027	But who was that sitting in a chair, dressed in a flowered gaberdine?
nyp.33433075761027	But you did n't know he was Mr. Boyd's son?"
nyp.33433075761027	But, the motive, the motive, the motive?
nyp.33433075761027	By the way, Filey, was the street door chained and bolted when Simmons unlocked it?"
nyp.33433075761027	By the way, Florence, in your haste to escape from the policemen in Catchpole Square did you lose or drop anything?"

nyp.33433075761027	Ca n't you word it some other way, Dick? ” “ No, uncle, ” replied Dick, almost defiantly.
nyp.33433075761027	Can Dr. Pye bring forward any witnesses to the truth of his?
nyp.33433075761027	Can I get you anything for breakfast? ” “ Nothing, thank you, ” he said.

nyp.33433075761027	Has she gone to the ‘ inkage'too? ” Who could doubt that it was out of mere playfulness he gave their pronunciation of the word?
nyp.33433075761027	Has she gone to the ‘ inkage'too? ” Who could doubt that it was out of mere playfulness he gave their pronunciation of the word?
nyp.33433075761027	Has your spectre appeared again?
nyp.33433075761027	Have I delayed too long?
nyp.33433075761027	Have n't I enough to bear without this being thrown in my teeth?"
nyp.33433075761027	Have n't any? ” “ Prejudice, then, Dick, ” said Uncle Rob.
nyp.33433075761027	Have we heard from our missing friend? ” “ I believe not, ” replied Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	Have you any idea where the reptile lives?".
nyp.33433075761027	Have you any knowledge of this clerk? ” “ No, I never saw the man."
nyp.33433075761027	Have you anything more to say?".
nyp.33433075761027	Have you found father, sir? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	Have you got a teaspoon?"
nyp.33433075761027	Have you had break- fast?"
nyp.33433075761027	Have you seen Dr. Vinsen?"
nyp.33433075761027	Have you seen Mrs. Death and her little girl?"
nyp.33433075761027	Have you some secret hoard of wealth which you have hidden from me?'
nyp.33433075761027	Have you the key of the street door? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	Have you the visiting card Mr. Boyd gave your servant in Bournemouth? ” “ Here it is."
nyp.33433075761027	Have you?"
nyp.33433075761027	He do n't look as if he could have done it. ” “ Done what?"
nyp.33433075761027	He had not. ” “ So that you can not say whether the shot was fired by the deceased or his assailant? ” “ I can not say."
nyp.33433075761027	He likes to leave people in uncertainty. ” “ Is he well?"
nyp.33433075761027	He was quite frank and open with me. ” “ In pursuance of your duties you served subpoenas upon certain witnesses?
nyp.33433075761027	He would go himself and say,'What have you got against me?
nyp.33433075761027	He's got an idea that she must have something to do with the murder. ” “ But does n't he think Abel Death did it?"
nyp.33433075761027	How can I be certain?
nyp.33433075761027	How could he explain away his possession of the rope?
nyp.33433075761027	How could such an idea have got into his head?"
nyp.33433075761027	How could you have been ignorant of the relationship when Mrs. Death came to the Bishop Street Police Station?"
nyp.33433075761027	How did people do without gas?
nyp.33433075761027	How did people do without reading?
nyp.33433075761027	How did they do without electricity?
nyp.33433075761027	How did they do without steam?
nyp.33433075761027	How did you cut your hand? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	How did you get into the house? ”"Through the front door."
nyp.33433075761027	How do you know I'm not acting under instructions to track and catch the murderer or murderers of Samuel Boyd?
nyp.33433075761027	How do you know”-here he leaned forward, and tapped Mr. Higgins confidentially on the breast-"that I'm not in the secret service myself?
nyp.33433075761027	How does love come, Dick?
nyp.33433075761027	How does that juryman fellow become so familiar with our private affairs?
nyp.33433075761027	How does that suit your book?
nyp.33433075761027	How is it that in your evidence on Monday you said nothing of this bullet? ” Dick:"In the first place, because I was not asked.
nyp.33433075761027	How is my dear mother- and my dear father- how are they, Dick? ”"You know how they must be, Florence, loving you as they do.
nyp.33433075761027	How is the light produced?"
nyp.33433075761027	How long a time elapsed before you had recourse to your flashlight? ” “ I used it almost immediately."
nyp.33433075761027	How to account for that?
nyp.33433075761027	How to tie them, how to tie them? ” He paced the room in his excite- ment.
nyp.33433075761027	How will that suit you, my honest trades- man?
nyp.33433075761027	How would you like to have the papers down on you as well as the police?
nyp.33433075761027	How's poor father?
nyp.33433075761027	How's the fire engines to get to you?
nyp.33433075761027	How's the little girl? ” “ There's a chance of her getting well.
nyp.33433075761027	How's the treasury, lad? ” Dick laughed.
nyp.33433075761027	I am a peaceable man, and have made my money by peaceable means. ” “ By peaceable fraud. ” “ Why use harsh terms?
nyp.33433075761027	I ask you again, where is my father?."
nyp.33433075761027	I catch sight of his face, and who do you think it was? ” “ Out with it, Dick,"said Uncle Rob."
nyp.33433075761027	I could hardly see my hand before me. ” “ But what took you out in it, my dear?
nyp.33433075761027	I do n't call him a gentleman myself. ”"Would you mind telling me, ” continued Gracie,"if you know Dr. Vinsen?"
nyp.33433075761027	I do n't mind it, not a bit. ” She drew her breath hard as she added without any show of feeling, “ You will find father, wo n't you?
nyp.33433075761027	I do n't think I can accept less than a minute and a half for the accomplishment of the work I have described?"
nyp.33433075761027	I have a recollection- not very clear — that as I went downstairs I felt in my pocket for the latchkey. ” “ For what reason?
nyp.33433075761027	I have lost my husband- am I to lose my Gracie, too?"
nyp.33433075761027	I know what he's got up his sleeve. ” “ Do you, now? ” said Constable Pond, refreshing himself with a kiss.
nyp.33433075761027	I leave that to tradesmen. ” “ Have you the letter you received from him?"
nyp.33433075761027	I may speak to you, dear, as a sister to a brother, may I not? ” “ Yes, Florence, as a sister to a brother,"he said, quietly.
nyp.33433075761027	I might deny it if I chose, and then, my honest tradesman, who would take your word against mine?
nyp.33433075761027	I nursed you through the whooping cough and scarlatina without a doctor, and are you any the worse for it?
nyp.33433075761027	I presume there is no doubt in your minds that a murder has been committed?'.
nyp.33433075761027	I put it to you, Robson, old man, whether it is n't better that the arrest should be made by a friendly hand than by the hand of a stranger?
nyp.33433075761027	I ran and caught the person by the arm, but somehow or other she slipped through my hands and escaped. ” “ Did you see her face?"
nyp.33433075761027	I regard it as a compliment. ” The Magistrate: “ Are these questions relevant, Mr. Pallaret?"
nyp.33433075761027	I said I'd find father, did n't I?"
nyp.33433075761027	I say he resembles the man. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Who can be sure of anything?
nyp.33433075761027	I say he resembles the man. ” “ Are you sure? ” “ Who can be sure of anything?
nyp.33433075761027	I sneaks up to the boy, and says,'Is that the master?'
nyp.33433075761027	I was nursing my baby again, and would you believe it?
nyp.33433075761027	I'll say that of you; you took it almost too quick. ” “ What else could I do? ” “ It was a mistake, Dick, to get into a huff as you did.
nyp.33433075761027	I'm only waiting here till the verdict's given, and then “ And then?"
nyp.33433075761027	If I had anything to fear is it likely that I'd be going about in open daylight sticking up these bills?
nyp.33433075761027	If he had committed suicide it is a thousand to one that his body would have been found and identified. ”"True. ” “ How do men commit suicide?"
nyp.33433075761027	If it is n't money, is it a woman?"
nyp.33433075761027	If it was mine, I'd change it. “ “ Have you seen him lately?"
nyp.33433075761027	If we had Samuel Boyd's money we'd do better with it, would n't we, Pond?
nyp.33433075761027	If you knew how we've missed you, my lad, you'd grow an inch taller. ”"Who is it that has kept my room ready for me? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	In Catchpole Square?"
nyp.33433075761027	In a certain sense, unique, for who would expect to find Alnaschar dreams floating among the fleshpots of Egypt?
nyp.33433075761027	In a few months I shall- shall- what is the word for it?
nyp.33433075761027	In heaven's name what took her there at that hour of the night?
nyp.33433075761027	In its whisper- ing voices would the word MURDER have found a place?
nyp.33433075761027	In the presence of misfortune so undeserved, of suffering so keen, how could he breathe a word against her husband?
nyp.33433075761027	Infernal scoundrel. ” “ Was information given to the police?"
nyp.33433075761027	Inspector Robson( after a pause): “ Will you put the question in more direct terms, Mr. Coroner?
nyp.33433075761027	Inspector Robson, do you positively swear that the body you saw is that of Mr. Samuel Boyd?"
nyp.33433075761027	Inspector Robson: “ It is now being made. ” The Juror: “ By whom?"
nyp.33433075761027	Inspector Robson: “ So far as a human being can be positive, I swear it. ”"And that you formed the idea that he had been dead several days?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is Florence upstairs?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is he afraid of some- body?
nyp.33433075761027	Is he caught? ” “ Who, Gracie?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is he caught? ” “ Who, Gracie?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is he feeling any better?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is he hunting for the tiger, and has he got a clue?
nyp.33433075761027	Is it Pond? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433075761027	Is it agreed to?
nyp.33433075761027	Is it over? ” “ Not by a long way, ” he replied.
nyp.33433075761027	Is it possible that he also has been murdered?
nyp.33433075761027	Is it supposed to be a man or a woman? ” “ Yah! ” was Mr. Higgins's sarcastic comment.
nyp.33433075761027	Is it within your knowledge that your father kept a pistol by him? ” Reginald: “ During the time I lived with him he always had a loaded pistol.
nyp.33433075761027	Is it worth considering?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is not that enough to base an opinion upon? ” “ I must be just, Mr. Lambert.
nyp.33433075761027	Is not that man Dr. Vinsen? ” “ He is not."
nyp.33433075761027	Is she in court? ” “ She is. ” “ Let her be called. ” Florence came forward.
nyp.33433075761027	Is she safe, is she well?
nyp.33433075761027	Is that so — is that so?
nyp.33433075761027	Is that the house in which the victim lies? ” “ Yes, ” said Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	Is the property there?
nyp.33433075761027	Is there any clue?
nyp.33433075761027	Is there any justice in the world?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is there any magistrate's court in London where your oath would be believed, much less your word?
nyp.33433075761027	Is there anybody in the Square?
nyp.33433075761027	Is this a court of justice?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is this quite clear to you? ” “ Quite clear, sir."
nyp.33433075761027	Is this worth while?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is this your little one?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is what this brute is doing manly, is it fair, is it English- that's the point, is it English?"
nyp.33433075761027	Is your room let yet? ” “ No, the bill's still in the window.
nyp.33433075761027	It being evident that Mr. Higgins expected him to offer an observation on the libel, he said, “ Who may this individual be?
nyp.33433075761027	It is news to you, then, that he was brought before the magistrate this morning? ” “ Yes, it is quite new to me.
nyp.33433075761027	It produced a good effect, but will it assist Mr. Reginald Boyd?
nyp.33433075761027	It vanishes again, and there I stand, dumb- foundered. ” “ Does it come a third time, Applebee? ” “ No, it do n't come a third time.
nyp.33433075761027	It was an artful trick, was n't it, sir?
nyp.33433075761027	It was my father's body. ” “ In the teeth of the conflicting evidence that has been given, you are positive?"
nyp.33433075761027	It was to make me a partner in the risk, was it not?"
nyp.33433075761027	It would be a better show, would n't it?'
nyp.33433075761027	It's a large order, ai n't it, Dick?"
nyp.33433075761027	It's nothing to worry about?
nyp.33433075761027	It's pretty, ai n't it?
nyp.33433075761027	It's seven days now sinc rence?
nyp.33433075761027	It's too bad, ai n't it?"
nyp.33433075761027	Lambert made no reply, but turned to Dick, “ Anywhere else, Mr. Remington?"
nyp.33433075761027	Lambert?"
nyp.33433075761027	May I ask if you got this handkerchief from the lady whose name is marked on it? ” “ Oh, no, sir.
nyp.33433075761027	May I eat my loaf here?"
nyp.33433075761027	May I inquire your name, or shall I call it the Portrait of a Gentleman who Carried the Street Door Key? ” 138 SAMUEL BOYD OF CATCHPOLE SQUARE.
nyp.33433075761027	May we not call such a knowledge a secret? ” “ You argue skilfully, and have drawn me into a conversa- tion which I would have perferred to avoid.
nyp.33433075761027	May you not have been deceived by an accidental likeness to Mr. Samuel Boyd in the person who presented himself? ” “ It is an absurd suggestion.
nyp.33433075761027	Mr. Pallaret: “ Will the date be proved?"
nyp.33433075761027	Murder? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	Need I say more? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	No man is infallible. ” “ Have you carefully considered the matter since you appeared in the Coroner's Court? ”."
nyp.33433075761027	Not being a regular one, what business did she have there?
nyp.33433075761027	Now where did I leave off?
nyp.33433075761027	Now, do you understand that? ” No voice could be more persuasive than that in which he explained himself to Mr. Rawdon.
nyp.33433075761027	Now, father, what did the detective have to say to you?
nyp.33433075761027	Now, the question is, are you here upon business?
nyp.33433075761027	Now, then,'I cried, what are you up to?'
nyp.33433075761027	Now, what is it?"
nyp.33433075761027	Now, what is the meaning of that?
nyp.33433075761027	Now, what motive had Samuel Boyd for murdering Abel Death- always supposing, Dick, that there was a murder?
nyp.33433075761027	Now, who could Dick have been referring to as he repeated these lines with a thoughtful face?
nyp.33433075761027	Now, who's the captain?"
nyp.33433075761027	Now, who's to attend to his interests?
nyp.33433075761027	Oh, what can have become of him?
nyp.33433075761027	Oh, yes, redeem them. ” “ You do n't want the thousand pounds immediately, my lady?"
nyp.33433075761027	Oh,'ses they,'did'e keep'is door unlocked?'
nyp.33433075761027	Ought I to go to her at once?
nyp.33433075761027	Ought such a monster to be allowed to sit on a jury?"
nyp.33433075761027	Perhaps you had better not say anything more. ” Mr. Reginald Boyd: “ Why not, Mr. Coroner?
nyp.33433075761027	Pond gave it me. ” “ Did he obtain it from the lady? ” “ There! ” exclaimed Mrs. Pond.
nyp.33433075761027	Pye?
nyp.33433075761027	Pye? ” I said.
nyp.33433075761027	Queer sort of assistant for me to pick up? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	Queer start, is n't it?"
nyp.33433075761027	Query- Did Abel Death and Reginald meet?
nyp.33433075761027	Query- Who attended to him?
nyp.33433075761027	Rawdon?'
nyp.33433075761027	Reason why?
nyp.33433075761027	Reginald is my Christian name. ” “ Was it as Mr. Reginald you introduced yourself to the family of Inspector Robson?"
nyp.33433075761027	Samuel Boyd's bedroom?"
nyp.33433075761027	Shall I lend you a five pound note? ” “ I should be very grateful, my lady. ” She burst into a merry laugh.
nyp.33433075761027	Shall I pro- ceed?"
nyp.33433075761027	Shall I re- capitulate the particulars of a later incident in this affair?
nyp.33433075761027	Shall we go into partner- ship, you and I?'
nyp.33433075761027	Shall we proceed to business?"
nyp.33433075761027	Shall you report it?"
nyp.33433075761027	She crept up a step to hear what further he had to say “ And Gracie, ” he said, “ where's our little Gracie- our lit- tle Gra- cie?
nyp.33433075761027	She never thinks of herself. ” “ Oh, do n't I, though?
nyp.33433075761027	Shorn of their glory they sink into the background, and no small punter so poor to do them reverence?
nyp.33433075761027	Should you say it was in Mr. Samuel Boyd's hand- writing?"
nyp.33433075761027	So we got away together, and where do you think we got to? ”"Could n't say for my life, Gracie, dreams are such funny things."
nyp.33433075761027	So what I say is, to save a scene, would n't it be a good thing to get your wife and daughter out of the way? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	So, Dr. Vinsen speaks against me?".
nyp.33433075761027	So- you did not go down to the postman when he knocked?"
nyp.33433075761027	Something got in your throat?"
nyp.33433075761027	Stumped. ” “ Next week, then?"
nyp.33433075761027	Surely you did not expect to find your father there? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	That is how it was done?"
nyp.33433075761027	That poor woman, Mrs. Abel Death, has had no news of her husband- singular, is it not?
nyp.33433075761027	That's a big lot of money, ai n't it? ” “ A tidyish sum.
nyp.33433075761027	That's why, perhaps. ” “ But what happened?
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ At what hour in the morning did you enter the house?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ Does the statement you wish to make, Inspector Robson, relate to the present inquiry? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ Is there a church close by that tolls the hour? ” The Constable: “ Yes, sir, Saint Michael's Church."
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ It can be heard in Catchpole Square? ” The Constable: “ Quite plainly, sir. ” The Coroner: “ Thank you."
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ Was the marriage between your daughter and Mr. Reginald Boyd quite recent?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ You were in the house yesterday? ” “ Yes. ” “ We understand you are searching for a will?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner: “ You were in the house yesterday? ” “ Yes. ” “ We understand you are searching for a will?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner:"Have you a watch or a clock in your rooms?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Coroner:"In plainer terms, then, is there any relation- ship between you and the deceased?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror who had asked previous questions: “ How do you know that?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ Angry words passed between you and your father?
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ But at some time or other occupied by another person?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ How long has he been ill?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ Is it true that during these last two years you have been living under an assumed name?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ Occupied by any person?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ Quarrels?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ The day following that on which Mr. Abel Death disappeared?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ Under what circumstances did he leave his father's house?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ What was the cause of the disagreement between you?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ You think it would be better to ask Mr. Reginald Boyd?"
nyp.33433075761027	The Juror: “ You worked for the deceased during the time his son, Mr. Reginald Boyd, lived in the house? ” Mrs.

nyp.33433075761027	“ And have found none? ” “ None. ” The Coroner: “ I am now going to put a question to you which I put to Inspector Robson.
nyp.33433075761027	“ And identified it?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ And master of none? ” queried a juror jocosely.
nyp.33433075761027	“ And no blood on my — my father's body, nor in the bed? ” “ None. ” “ The house has been broken into? ”.

nyp.33433075761027	“ And to- morrow night?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ And waited between each fresh summons for an answer?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ And you did not inform them?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ And you have not been out of the house during my absence?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ And you left it? ” II 164 SAMUEL BOYD OF CATCHPOLE SQUARE.
nyp.33433075761027	“ And you, Dick? ” “ There can be no doubt of it. ” “ The coroner must be informed.
nyp.33433075761027	“ And you, Mr. and Mrs. Death? ”"No, thank you, ma'am, ” said Mrs. Death.
nyp.33433075761027	“ And'ow's the poor young gentleman, sir, ” she said, “ after'is day at the inkwich?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Any bills of acceptance?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Any knocks at the street door?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Applebee says that when Inspector Robson saw the body he turned as white as a ghost. ” “ Why should he?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are people speaking about Abel Death? ” asked Reginald, turning to Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are the letters all written? ” he inquired, seating himself at the table.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are they in order, Mr. Boyd? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you acquainted with a person of the name of Ezra Lynn?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you going anywhere particular, Dick? ” she asked, accompanying him to the door.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you mad? ” he asked,"or am I?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you mad? ” he asked,"or am I?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you off? ” asked Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you sure you could not get it earlier? ” “ Quite sure, my lady."
nyp.33433075761027	“ Are you well, Florence? ” he asked anxiously.
nyp.33433075761027	“ As a matter of course. ” “ Who'd pay it to him? ” “ It would be paid through the captain."
nyp.33433075761027	“ As a matter of fact we are split into three camps of equal numbers, and no one will give way. ”"Is there no possibility of your agreeing?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ As for prosecuting me, shall I fetch a policeman, or will you go for one?
nyp.33433075761027	“ At about that hour of three did you observe a sudden flash of light from an opposite house? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ At about that hour. ” “ You left the house before eleven o'clock?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ At what hour was this visit paid?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ At what time did you say Mr. Reginald entered his father's house?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ At whose suggestion were photographs of his boots taken? ” 358 SAMUEL BOYD OF CATCHPOLE SQUARE.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Aunt Rob?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Between your two visits to your father on that Friday did you come into communication with Mr. Abel Death? ”"No."
nyp.33433075761027	“ But how do I stand with Lambert?
nyp.33433075761027	“ But if the street door was not opened to Mr. Reginald, how did he get in?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ But where were you, child? ” asked Aunt Rob.
nyp.33433075761027	“ But you do n't like this sort of thing?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ But you have no objection to my walking a little way with your mother, I hope?
nyp.33433075761027	“ By the way, might I see that clever little device of yours for throwing light to a distance?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Ca n't you speak? ” he then said in a whisper to his com- panion.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Ca n't you?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can I do anything for you, sir?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can I help it?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can not you say with certainty? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can you find your way home? ” he asked, in doubt.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can you give me Mr.: Reginald's address?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can you tell me where to find him, Mrs. Robson? ” “ No, I ca n't. ” “ Will he be back soon? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Can you tell me where to find him, Mrs. Robson? ” “ No, I ca n't. ” “ Will he be back soon? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Certainly I disputed it. ” “ Did you accuse your father of fraud? ” The Coroner: “ Order, order! ” The question was not answered.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Could you identify the jewels?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Dick, my lad, ” said Inspector Robson, “ have you got yourself into any money difficulty?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did Gracie draw these?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did I worry you, mother? ” asked Gracie.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did Mr. Reginald say why he wanted to see his father?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did Reginald carry out his idea, Florence?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did he send you for his father?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did he work long hours?".
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did n't Dick tell you?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did she have a child with her, a poor little mite with a churchyard cough?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did she stop long, do you know?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did the doctor say when he would be able to get up?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you ever see anything like this, Applebee?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you ever see the secret books of the police,"he said,"with the names of certain men with black marks against them?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you get into the house the same way as Simmons? ” “ No, sir.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you leave Wharton in the card room? ” she asks.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you not see him in Catchpole Square, or in its vicinity?'
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you obtain admission into your father's house on Friday afternoon in the usual way? ” Reginald: “ No.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you search the clothes of the deceased?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did you see him?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Did your husband drink?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Difficult? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do I look like a murderer? ” he thought.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do n't you think you had better shut your mouth?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do n't you? ” his uncle asked, in return.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do n't you?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you consider it likely that the deceased could have called for help during the struggle? ” “ Not to any appreciable extent.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you consider it likely that, during the struggle, the deceased succeeded in getting out of bed?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you know how it runs in the Government bills?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you like him, Dick?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you mean to say that they do n't want to see fair play? ” zaid Aunt Rob.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you present these to me in all seriousness? ” asked the Coroner.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you tell me he is suspected of the crime? ” cried Reginald, in an excited tone.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you think so?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Do you want him for anything particular? ” inquired Aunt Rob, anxiously.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Does Florence suspect it?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Easy, ai n't it, Dick?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Except what?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Five days, sir, five long, long days. ” “ Was he in employment? ” “ Yes, sir, yes.
nyp.33433075761027	“ For as long again. ” “ Are you certain that the church clock struck three?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ For me?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ From Florence? ” he cried.
nyp.33433075761027	“ From time to time you have come into communication with Mr. Richard Remington?
nyp.33433075761027	“ From what?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Give me a ha'penny to buy a paper, Dick, will you? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Go ahead. ” “ Who is that young gentleman with the white face that the young lady's so fond of? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Had any orders been given to you to take action in this matter?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has Aunt Rob, or Florence?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has any one called? ” “ No one, sir, ” promptly replied Abel Death.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has he been ill long? ”"A good many days, but thank God!
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has he been in bed all the time?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has he run away from you?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has it not crossed your mind, Mrs. Death, that you are being deceived? ” “ How, deceived?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has it not crossed your mind, Mrs. Death, that you are being deceived? ” “ How, deceived?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has my name been mentioned?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Has your father come back? ” he asked, in sudden expecta- tion that she brought him news of the missing man.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you a list of the jewels you gave the person who personated Samuel Boyd in Bournemouth on the following Friday night?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you any objection to inform us why you suppressed the name of Boyd?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you been in the house?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you been there?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you ever heard of him, uncle?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you ever seen a bull- baiting without the bull?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you found any jewels?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you lived with us all these years without finding it out?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you not heard that Mr. Reginald Boyd has been arrested for the murder?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you searched for it?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you seen him lately?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you taken out letters of administration? ” “ Yes."
nyp.33433075761027	“ Have you the latchkey now?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ He had to draw the bolts? ” “ The door was not bolted, and the chain was not up."
nyp.33433075761027	“ He hoped it would be granted?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ He may have run away. ” “ With what object?
nyp.33433075761027	“ He was not happy in his situation?".
nyp.33433075761027	“ Here in this court. ” “ Then he must be in attendance?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Here in this court?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ His friend? ” she queried.
nyp.33433075761027	“ How can we thank you?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How can you ask it?
nyp.33433075761027	“ How could he be, sir, with such a master?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How did you get in? ” Mr. Reginald held up a key.
nyp.33433075761027	“ How did you get in?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How did you get into the house?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How do you arrive at that con- clusion?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How do you form the conclusion that they are the foot- steps of a man?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How do you know I'm not a married man, Gracie? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075761027	“ How is that?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ How long has he been gone? ” asked the Inspector.
nyp.33433075761027	“ How much is the reward, Dick? ” “ Two hundred pounds."
nyp.33433075761027	“ How will you dispose of him now without drawing sus- picion upon you? ” “ Upon us, you mean."
nyp.33433075761027	“ How?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ I am not aware that he has. ” “ Can you inform us where he lives? ” “ I can not. ” “ Nor where he is at the present moment?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ I am not aware that he has. ” “ Can you inform us where he lives? ” “ I can not. ” “ Nor where he is at the present moment?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ I did. ” “ You saw the body?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ I do n't consider it fair. ”"Well, then, who is chiefly responsible for it?
nyp.33433075761027	“ I knew him- did you? ” “ I had not the privilege.
nyp.33433075761027	“ I suppose he has n't, Gracie? ” “ No, Dick, he has n't.
nyp.33433075761027	“ I think so. ” “ Have you ever seen any other man in Catchpole Square leaving Mr. Boyd's house in the middle of the night?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ I understand that you volunteered to give evidence at the inquest in the interests of justice?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ If Abel Death turns up will it be for good or ill?
nyp.33433075761027	“ If it happened that you found him here,"she continued, “ would you give information to the police?
nyp.33433075761027	“ If the mate — that's me, Dick- found father, would he have the reward?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ In health?
nyp.33433075761027	“ In heaven's name how came you here? ” muttered Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	“ In what way have I violated your orders, sir?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is Mr. Dick Remington in? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is anybody inside now?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is anyone suspected?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is he changed much? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is he dead? ” 216 SAMUEL BOYD OF CATCHPOLE SQUARE.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is he?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is it certain that he was murdered,"he said presently in a broken voice,"that he did not die a natural death?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is it true, sir, is it true? ” cried Mrs. Death, a wild terror in her eyes.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is it?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is that a long job? ” she asked.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is that all, Gracie? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is that like it, Gracie? ” he asked.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is that you, Applebee?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is that you, Mr. Death?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is that your advice? ” asked Lambert, with a tipsy lurch.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is there a cellar?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Is there anything against him,"asked Uncle Rob, with a sinking heart, “ beyond what has come out in the inquest?".
nyp.33433075761027	“ It appears so. ” “ You have no knowledge of these persons?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ It is Lady Wharton, is it not?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ It is from the back windows of your house, doctor, that you can see into Catchpole Square?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ It reads well, does n't it?
nyp.33433075761027	“ It's happened more than once. ” “ And you've found him out afterwards to be a bad lot?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ May I go up and see him?
nyp.33433075761027	“ May I hope, sir, that you will grant the request you kindly promised to consider?
nyp.33433075761027	“ May I inquire the name of your kind friend?
nyp.33433075761027	“ May that not have exasperated him, and caused him to speak words to Mr. Boyd which might have been construed into a threat?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ May you not yourself be labouring under a delusion?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Meaning- what? ” demanded Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Meaning? ” he asked.- “ Mr. Abel Death, sir, and Mr. Samuel Boyd. ” “ His last hour has gone by; he's past remembering."
nyp.33433075761027	“ Might a man so humble as Samuel Boyd inquire whether it is too late now for Lady Wharton to think better of it?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ My senses do n't deceive me, do they? ” “ I hope they do n't,"said Polly, drawing his arm tighter.
nyp.33433075761027	“ No doubt you have heard many of the theories that have been advanced to account for his absence from his home? ” “ Well, sir, I have.
nyp.33433075761027	“ No one saw you go upstairs?".
nyp.33433075761027	“ No proof at all, ” said Dick, “ but does n't it look like it? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ No, I have lost it. ”"Where? ” “ I do not know where."
nyp.33433075761027	“ None. ” “ Could these footsteps have been made by the deceased?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Nor out of this room?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Nor tools of any kind? ” “ No."
nyp.33433075761027	“ Not Abel Death?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Not a bit like Reginald. ” “ In the name of all that's mysterious, what is he keeping out of the way for?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Not a business woman?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Not for some time- not, indeed, till I was married. ” “ That is quite lately?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Not on my part. ” “ On his? ”( A momentary pause.)
nyp.33433075761027	“ Nothing more?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Nothing of any value? ” “ Nothing."
nyp.33433075761027	“ Now, Dick, old man, what is to be done?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Now, Gracie, what is it? ” asked Dick.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Now, my Saint Vitus friend, what's your little game?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Now, what do you want?
nyp.33433075761027	“ Now, what have you got to say? ” he asked, triumphantly.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Oh, Dick, have n't you forgiven me for the hard words I said to you?
nyp.33433075761027	“ On any subsequent occasion did you see any suspicious persons about?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Openly or secretly, Dick? ” “ Openly.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Perhaps so, perhaps so, if you look at it only from the out- side; but there's another view. ” “ What is it?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Probably. ” “ You call yourself Dr. Do you hold a diploma?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Quite alone. ” “ Were there any indications of a robbery having been committed? ” “ I observed none.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Quite true. ” “ You saw that person? ”.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Quite unusual. ”"That is all you can tell us?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Recent scratches? ” “ Made within the last two or three weeks."
nyp.33433075761027	“ Reginald's father? ” “ Yes. ” She uttered a cry of horror.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Shall I see him?
nyp.33433075761027	“ She has gone? ” His voice was strange in his ears.
nyp.33433075761027	“ Should you say that robbery was the object of this burglarious entrance?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ Simply that. ” “ And had no personal interest to serve?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ So that you would be in front of Mr. Boyd's house at about half past two? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You knocked more than once?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ So that you would be in front of Mr. Boyd's house at about half past two? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ You knocked more than once?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ So that, having brought forward your flashlight device, you had to set it down before you could strike the match?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ That I stole it? ” said Mr. Reginald.
nyp.33433075761027	“ That brings us to half past three?"
nyp.33433075761027	“ That is all you know, Lord Fairfax? ” “ All I know."

nyp.33433112004811	But why talk of argument?
nyp.33433112004811	But you must build up where you pull down: now, what are you going to substitute for this face?
nyp.33433112004811	But you ’ll never believe him, will you?
nyp.33433112004811	But your grandfather was dead the next morning, and who can tell what was his secret?
nyp.33433112004811	But, by- the- by, how came Madge, your beautiful animal, to put herself in the way of sick- rooms and con- tagion to- day?
nyp.33433112004811	But, by- the- by, my dear, are n’t we getting pretty deep in the woods?
nyp.33433112004811	But, if his riches could not be used and profited by, were they not a misfortune?
nyp.33433112004811	But, if she lived to marry one of your tribe, Urmhurst and a legacy would belong to her children. ” “ Why you talk that way, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	But, my dear, have we thought of college before?
nyp.33433112004811	But, sure enough, that same night he was punch- ing Sam Kineo ’s head because Sam had — What was it he did to yml, Madge, my lass?
nyp.33433112004811	But, where ’s your van- ity?
nyp.33433112004811	By- the- by, I wonder if Miss Elinor would con- sent to keep me company?
nyp.33433112004811	By- the- by, where is he this morning?
nyp.33433112004811	By- the- way, where was Madge?
nyp.33433112004811	Ca n’t you do with me alone for half an hour? ” Garth laughed.
nyp.33433112004811	Can she be a Jenny Lind without my having suspected it?
nyp.33433112004811	Can you guess with whom? ” She smiled as she put the question, and added immediately, “ But do n’t have him, Elinor!
nyp.33433112004811	Can you have the medicine ready in about half an hour?
nyp.33433112004811	Come, what will you take?
nyp.33433112004811	Consistent, am I not?
nyp.33433112004811	Could she help it that he met her eye in every flower, and'heard her tones in every bird- note, or that all he thought and did had reference to her?
nyp.33433112004811	Could there be anything in the sug'gestion that one ’s very partiality to a thing might blind him to its merits?
nyp.33433112004811	Could they be expressed?
nyp.33433112004811	Did everybody see and feel what he sometimes saw and felt?
nyp.33433112004811	Did he dislike her?
nyp.33433112004811	Did he well, then, to be angry because the cup himself had filled was held to his lips?
nyp.33433112004811	Did not all women owe a sa- cred duty to their sisters who were in peril?
nyp.33433112004811	Did n’t you lug me on your shoulders when I was a papoose, and your cursed old knee was out of joint?
nyp.33433112004811	Did n’t you?
nyp.33433112004811	Did she mean to refuse it?
nyp.33433112004811	Did she not come pretty near the truth in her conception of your motives?
nyp.33433112004811	Did the strange old creature really half regret not having been so criminally revengeful as Elinor had fancied her?
nyp.33433112004811	Did you ever hear of such a sentimental, gushing young thing as I am?
nyp.33433112004811	Did you imagine I have n’t seen what ’s been going on between you two from the first?
nyp.33433112004811	Did you never hear of Sam Kineo?
nyp.33433112004811	Did you never meet him't ” “ Selwyn i- hold on i a slender, sharp- eyed chap, always dressed well?
nyp.33433112004811	Did you say she was at grandfather ’s, this snowy day?
nyp.33433112004811	Do it some more, wo n’t you? ” “ No need of that, ” returned the-half- breed.
nyp.33433112004811	Do n’t eat up all the nuts and grapes before we get there. ” “ Shall we carry your hat for you?
nyp.33433112004811	Do n’t you see how it is?
nyp.33433112004811	Do n’t you think, though, he needed something of the sort to thin him a little?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you believe that story, Mr. Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you consider my uncle a good critic?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you do as much as that?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you like the sound of it?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you mean to live here?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you mean to say that you ’ve ever painted anything? ” “ I did what I could, ” replied the other, gloomily, resuming his seat.
nyp.33433112004811	Do you recollect our pro- found conversation in the studio a few days ago?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you remember hinting some time ago that when I found my vocation I might slight my friends?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you suppose her indignation at Mr. Kineo‘s in- discreet statements proceeded from precisely the same ground as Garth ’s?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you suppose you are the first bird that ever was indignant?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you take Garth for a young lady, to be tickled by a scarlet ribbon?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you think, then, that Garth had better go through college before making a Mrs. Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you wish to quarrel?
nyp.33433112004811	Do you?
nyp.33433112004811	Does he know you by sight?
nyp.33433112004811	Does not our very name demonstrate it?
nyp.33433112004811	Does n’t he consult a physician?"
nyp.33433112004811	Does n’t it seem to you, now that civilization is within hail, that we ’ve been making a great ado about noth- ing?
nyp.33433112004811	Does she fully under- stand that?
nyp.33433112004811	Does that mean he- traying the other?
nyp.33433112004811	D’ye see?
nyp.33433112004811	Eh?
nyp.33433112004811	Elinor came up behind them and said to her: “ Wo n’t you give me a lesson, too?
nyp.33433112004811	Elinor — Is that another complication, Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	Eu- ropean witch correspondent, I fancy — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	Ever been in the barn, Miss Golight- ley?
nyp.33433112004811	Father, what do you think was in that letter he wrote to Captain Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	Five thou- sand dollars, I understand?
nyp.33433112004811	Four years of peace and quiet are not to be despised at my time of life.—I suppose your worship wo n’t think of coming home in the vacations?

nyp.33433112004811	Garth has fainted. ” “ Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	Glad to get home?
nyp.33433112004811	God bless him i"“ Is it wise, husband, ” questioned the mother, smiling but sighing too, “ to train him to love such things?
nyp.33433112004811	Golightley, did you real- 1y?"
nyp.33433112004811	Good joke, is n’t it?
nyp.33433112004811	Had he any reason to sup- pose that she was even aware of his sufl‘er- ings?
nyp.33433112004811	Had he been made a fool and a. laughing- stock all his life long?
nyp.33433112004811	Had he not been a little insane of late?
nyp.33433112004811	Had not his forefathers defied Fate as he de- fied it now, and conquered?
nyp.33433112004811	Had she been false even then?
nyp.33433112004811	Had she been in here before he came?
nyp.33433112004811	Had she made up her mind to desert him, and was she trying to justify her fickleness by calling it fine names?
nyp.33433112004811	Had she never striven to be true?
nyp.33433112004811	Had she really listened to Jack, and half yielded to him?
nyp.33433112004811	Had she spoken from deliberate forethought or from unpremeditated impulse?
nyp.33433112004811	Had some hideous fatality actually brought the police to the house, at this moment of all others?
nyp.33433112004811	Has he succeeded in getting any ideas into your head? ” “ 0 father, I came partly to talk with you about it; but let us wait till my mamma comes.
nyp.33433112004811	Has he suggested reimbursement?
nyp.33433112004811	Has nobody ever looked under it, to see?
nyp.33433112004811	Has she fallen out with the black- man, or are they plotting new deviltries?
nyp.33433112004811	Have you ever been in her wigwam, up in the garret?
nyp.33433112004811	Have you got the paper with you — or the image? ” Before Nikomis could answer, the con- versation had a sudden interruption.
nyp.33433112004811	Have you heard — have you heard the latest developments concerning this robbery busi- ness?
nyp.33433112004811	He continued pull- ing over the papers and peering into them, until at last he brought out — what do you think it was, Mildred?
nyp.33433112004811	He did n’t know what his old grandfather could do for him — eh, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	He gazed straight at it for an appreciable time, and asked — “ Did you do that?
nyp.33433112004811	He had done what seemed to him right; but was any right right enough to warrant his taking a life?
nyp.33433112004811	He happened to be below, picked me up, and set the fracture so skillfully that — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	He has n’t yet paid you for your picture, has he?
nyp.33433112004811	He told lies, but you did n’t believe him, dear Garth? ” She came close, and put her hand on his sleeve with a lovely, beseeching tearfulness.
nyp.33433112004811	He was jostled oil?
nyp.33433112004811	Hey?
nyp.33433112004811	His forefathers were violent men, and he has so much of their adventurous and warlike spirit — does it need fostering?
nyp.33433112004811	His mother?
nyp.33433112004811	Hobbling still, are you?
nyp.33433112004811	Hold your tongue for fear of losing your ideas?
nyp.33433112004811	How came the owner of so fair a forehead to be supported upon so sportive a pair of legs?
nyp.33433112004811	How came you to know of it?
nyp.33433112004811	How can I care for a man who has spoilt my life, and deceived me into be- lieving evil good, and good evil?
nyp.33433112004811	How did it happen?
nyp.33433112004811	How do you pay your butcher? ” “ Why, we pelt him with apples.
nyp.33433112004811	How does he begin, then i — ‘ Madge dearest, ’ or ‘ My sweet mistress, ’ or what is it — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	How else can we have the face to put down in Garth his insolent assumption of being over sixteen years old?"
nyp.33433112004811	How should I judge?
nyp.33433112004811	How ’d you like to see that pretty scalp of yours hanging there with the others — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	How- ever, you shall have nurses enough, and homoeopathic medicines. ” “ Is nothing the matter with you, your- self?
nyp.33433112004811	However, I sho d be glad t6 think that I ’d given you a bit of a lift at the start — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	However, so it turned out. ” “ Did she know, then, that his name was Brian Urmson, not John Dane?
nyp.33433112004811	However, what are you going to make of the cava- lier?
nyp.33433112004811	Hum — why take it any way?
nyp.33433112004811	H’m!- — what was I saying?
nyp.33433112004811	H’ml where was I? ” Perhaps Garth did not know; at all.
nyp.33433112004811	I am too good- natured — by George, I am. ” “ Do I wish you to be good- natured? ” exclaimed the young lady, with contemptu- ous lips.
nyp.33433112004811	I can find my own way home perfectly well. ” “ I ’ve been wondering, then, how you got hold of my letter to Garth, and what use you made of it?
nyp.33433112004811	I could n’t say. ” “ And you yourself could not leave the house, I suppose?
nyp.33433112004811	I do n’t know what Outhbert and Mildred would say to being told that they were nothing but a sort offaua: pas — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	I do n’t pretend to be worthy of you — what man is?
nyp.33433112004811	I fancy your dear mother ’s death must have shattered him a good deal?
nyp.33433112004811	I got it from her room. ” “ This flask is n’t hers, is it?
nyp.33433112004811	I hope she saved some of her belongings. ” “ Why, here she comes?
nyp.33433112004811	I hope you do n’t propose committing bigamy with any inno- cent young woman?
nyp.33433112004811	I knew you then. ” “ Then why do n’t I know me?
nyp.33433112004811	I must be chained down and locked in. ” “ When you were a boy-—- Here, do you remember this?
nyp.33433112004811	I shall give you all the money there is to give, but you will often wish you had more than I can send you. ” “ We are poor, then?
nyp.33433112004811	I simply acted, as I always wish to act, like a gentleman — a — and a brother. ” “ Is your meaning a hidden or an osten- sible one?
nyp.33433112004811	I think you would be interested in her. ” “ All in?
nyp.33433112004811	I wonder if they are sorry afterward?
nyp.33433112004811	I wonder when we shall laugh again?
nyp.33433112004811	I wonder whether it‘s loaded now?
nyp.33433112004811	I ’m afraid I do know where it might possibly be; at least — ” “ You have seen it?
nyp.33433112004811	I ’m free to say that I ’d rather see you drink my claret than hear you say your lesson. ” “ Is reading books anything like travel- ing?
nyp.33433112004811	I ’m going to keep dark for a while, granny — d’you un- derstand?
nyp.33433112004811	I ’ve nothing to do with you. ” “ Marry Garth — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	If I be- lieved she was some one else, how could I believe I was repairing my ancestors ’ mis- deeds?
nyp.33433112004811	If I were in y0ur place, I would n’t be letting my young man receive'mysterious epistles in the morning, and go ofi?
nyp.33433112004811	If Madge were ruined for lack of any argument or effort which Elinor could have used, would not the responsibility lie at Eli- nor ’s door?
nyp.33433112004811	If Uncle Golight- ley pays me for my picture, I shall never paint again. ” “ Why not? ” asked Mr. Urmson, with a. quiet look.
nyp.33433112004811	If he could pluck something out of his breast and fiingit away forever, would not the world lie at his feet?
nyp.33433112004811	If it were despised, what was left her?
nyp.33433112004811	If it ’s a whim of hers, which you know to be unwise, might it not be advisable to say no to it?
nyp.33433112004811	If not, was it strange that Madge, vivid and restless, should have fled from one so paltry, selfish, and one- sided?
nyp.33433112004811	If not, why take blackguard ’s part?
nyp.33433112004811	If she was not something very bad, might she not possibly be some- thing very good?
nyp.33433112004811	If she were very good, how was it that he disliked her?
nyp.33433112004811	If so, for what purpose?
nyp.33433112004811	If so, why must the old appearances, now vacant of life and truth, still be observed?
nyp.33433112004811	If there was n’t a couple of centuries or so difference in ages, I should be anxious about the old chap ’s heart — eh, son- in- law?
nyp.33433112004811	If this love were heaven on earth, what must heaven be?
nyp.33433112004811	If you were the greatest man in the world, and never told of it, how could I be proud of you?
nyp.33433112004811	If you ’d been with me, it would ha ’ been all right, no doubt; but you would n’t come when I asked you. ” ‘ “ What do you mean?
nyp.33433112004811	In short, as I said before, it ’s not so eligible as — ”_ “ But what makes the air unwholesoiue, grandpa? ” the youngster would break in.
nyp.33433112004811	Indeed, what argu- ments on his side of the question were there?
nyp.33433112004811	Is he happy?
nyp.33433112004811	Is he quite well?
nyp.33433112004811	Is he well?
nyp.33433112004811	Is mother well?"
nyp.33433112004811	Is n’t the greatest picture in the world better worth studying than I am?
nyp.33433112004811	Is she a daughter of the sachem, father?
nyp.33433112004811	Is she returning to human- ity?
nyp.33433112004811	It had fallen to the floor, then?
nyp.33433112004811	It is hard to take things to heart and yet keep tender- hearted — isn’t it?
nyp.33433112004811	It was unjust to assume as much without proof, and what proof had he?
nyp.33433112004811	It ’s a component part of New Hampshire, is n’t it? ” “ It goes down through the cellar, at all events, ” said Mr. Urmson.
nyp.33433112004811	Let me see — what do you say to Sam Kineo?
nyp.33433112004811	Let ’s see, now — Garth sick, is he?
nyp.33433112004811	Light or dark?
nyp.33433112004811	Lovely to talk with, though, she has so much information. ” “ She is not a young woman?
nyp.33433112004811	Madge was not a witch; what, then, was she?
nyp.33433112004811	Madge ’s mother stepped aside, with a pantomime to her daughter, as much as to say, “ How are you going to get out of it now?
nyp.33433112004811	Make me afraid of you a little, please, dearl Yes, I am jealous of painting; I want you to love me — me, more than anything in the worldl Do you?
nyp.33433112004811	May I ask your permission to walk back a little distance and chat with you?
nyp.33433112004811	More- over, crippled as he was with age and dis- ease and poverty, what front could he oppose to events of moment, even if they came?
nyp.33433112004811	Mr. Urm- son had replied, “ How do you do, profess- or?"
nyp.33433112004811	My dear father was — yes, Garth, why should n’t you hear it?--he was unjust, cruelly unjust to me.
nyp.33433112004811	My idea was, since God made Nature, it must be per- fect: so What business has man to make imitations of it — improvements on it, rather?
nyp.33433112004811	My mother, you know, was a Golightley; and Miss Elinor here is — how is it, my dear?
nyp.33433112004811	Nellie, did you know that Golightley had bought that picture — that shooting- scene of his?
nyp.33433112004811	Not a daughter in seven generations?
nyp.33433112004811	Not the meeting- house, I hope?
nyp.33433112004811	Now that you ’ve come to care for painting, you ’ll begin to hate me i ” “ How am I changed, Madge?"
nyp.33433112004811	Now, beloved Hottentot, had n’t you better open your heart to your old father?
nyp.33433112004811	Now, how would you account for that?
nyp.33433112004811	Now, is not that odd?
nyp.33433112004811	Now, tell me honestly, was it not so?
nyp.33433112004811	Now, what are you up to?
nyp.33433112004811	Now, what have you got to say to it?
nyp.33433112004811	Of course — make herl Why was n’t all the world born In- dianQ — all warriors and squaws and wig- wams?
nyp.33433112004811	Oh, by- the — by, so sad about dear old Garth, is n’t it?
nyp.33433112004811	Oh, no, I ’m not so very poor, after all, gran- ny_n “ What you going to do with Madge? ” asked Nikomis, passing over these allusions.

nyp.33433112004811	Per- haps I was wrong: painting is not irrever- ent?
nyp.33433112004811	Per- haps he did know: evidently he was aware of his uncle ’s guilt, and so why not of other things?
nyp.33433112004811	Providence had ordained that their paths should cross; ought she not therefore, so far as might be possible, to turn the meeting to good?
nyp.33433112004811	Sam reflected a minute and then asked, “ How did you come to know ’bout this affair of ours before I told you?
nyp.33433112004811	See the point?

nyp.33433112004811	Shall we take him whole, or split him up into kindlings?
nyp.33433112004811	She had been looking for- ward to it for some days; what could have induced her to change her mind?
nyp.33433112004811	She slipped the portrait into her pocket, and said, without looking round — “ What?
nyp.33433112004811	She was not scorched her- self, I trust?
nyp.33433112004811	Should Garth be cursed so, likewise?
nyp.33433112004811	Should that old murderous demon triumph over him, as it had triumphed over the rest, and make the blot which had thus far marred their name, eternal?
nyp.33433112004811	Show me where I can get something to eat, first thing; and take that old organ- box up- stairs — d’you hear?
nyp.33433112004811	Since I ’ve been here, and have had no chance, I ’ve been wretched. ” “ What has this to do with being a painter?
nyp.33433112004811	Since then I have often won- dered whether, had he seen us at all, he ’d have seen two of us or only one?
nyp.33433112004811	Slow, but knows how to make itself felt. ” “ Where? ” demanded Grindle, after a long pufi'at his cigar, still keeping his eyes upon the fire.
nyp.33433112004811	So my friend Grindle has been having you in charge?
nyp.33433112004811	So the old Urmson family was doomed to die out?
nyp.33433112004811	So the old thing did n’t break your back, after all- what?
nyp.33433112004811	So this was the mys- tery of the attic?
nyp.33433112004811	So you are turned detective?
nyp.33433112004811	Somebody must have lost what I gained, of course, and why not poor John as well as anybody else?
nyp.33433112004811	Splendid, is n’t it, for the young man?
nyp.33433112004811	Still looking down, Garth said, huskily: “ How came such thoughts into your mind?
nyp.33433112004811	Tell me I have no right?
nyp.33433112004811	Tell me now — of what do you suspect me? ” She bent forward and looked smiling in his face.
nyp.33433112004811	Tell me, Garth, you have good eyes, who is standing under the porch?
nyp.33433112004811	Tell me, dear Garth, have I done anything wrong?
nyp.33433112004811	Tell me, did you think I ’d rather stay here than travel about with you?
nyp.33433112004811	Tell me, do you love painting better than you love me?
nyp.33433112004811	Tenterden well, I hope?
nyp.33433112004811	That senti- mental talk about him was humbug, and — ” “ How do you know that? ” inquired Mr. Urmson, beginning to smile.
nyp.33433112004811	That was Elinor. ” “ That cold, silent girl?
nyp.33433112004811	The day you do, you see the last of Jack Selwyn. ” “ Where do you mean to go?
nyp.33433112004811	The house had vanished — whither?
nyp.33433112004811	The professor ’s bald pate had red- dened a little as he strongly griped his old fellow- student ’s hand, and he had said, “ How do, Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	The ‘ whole ’ means evil as well as good: my art has helped to keep my evil down. ” “ Why do you call it evil?
nyp.33433112004811	Then, noticing Sam ’s surprise, she added with a smile, “ The letter was from Jack Selwyn. ” “ He writes to you — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	There will be no one like him in the whole world. ”'“ You go with me if he gets drowned?
nyp.33433112004811	Think I for- got how you lied about me to Garth ten years ago?
nyp.33433112004811	Think we scalp — um?
nyp.33433112004811	Those years of his in Europe — were they guiltless of what was happening now?
nyp.33433112004811	Under what pretext, then, can they usurp the use of them?
nyp.33433112004811	Urmson, I should like to know what you think Mr. Graeme was going to say when he was interrupted? ” “ My dear Elinor, I did n’t interrupt him.
nyp.33433112004811	Very well; who shall they be?
nyp.33433112004811	Voices, was it?
nyp.33433112004811	Was Garth, on his side, conscious of it?
nyp.33433112004811	Was Golightley really forever dis- connected with her future?
nyp.33433112004811	Was any earthly gain or loss worthy to be set against that duty?
nyp.33433112004811	Was any individual safe in set- ting his intuitive sentiment above the verdict of history and of his contemporaries?
nyp.33433112004811	Was he amused at this ignoble end of the haughty Urmson family?
nyp.33433112004811	Was he discovered?
nyp.33433112004811	Was he not man enough to be at once all she desired, and all he desired for himself?
nyp.33433112004811	Was he not tormenting himself, and then laying the blame on her?
nyp.33433112004811	Was his outlook now less sinister, on the whole, than that which had confronted him on the terror- stricken night of boyhood?
nyp.33433112004811	Was it not more reverent as well as more prudent to let Providence work out its own ends in its own way, with- out any impertinent interference?
nyp.33433112004811	Was it not so, indeed?
nyp.33433112004811	Was it sin- gular or common?
nyp.33433112004811	Was the act merely wanton?
nyp.33433112004811	Was the fault in her or in the world, that the realization was so dreary?
nyp.33433112004811	Was the officer showing a search- warrant, and demanding information?
nyp.33433112004811	Was there ever anything between this Sam Kineo and her?
nyp.33433112004811	We believe he ’s hid- ing somewhere hereabouts. ” “ State ’s evidence?
nyp.33433112004811	We each live in a world by ourselves. ” “ Then whoever truly tells what he sees, tells news to all the rest?
nyp.33433112004811	We fought on equal ground — be- cause he told lies about you. ” “ How — he told lies about me?
nyp.33433112004811	Well, and why should she?
nyp.33433112004811	Well, who knows but we may all meet there one of these days?
nyp.33433112004811	Well, why should n’t be have made an impression?
nyp.33433112004811	Well/~are you as glad to leave us as your mother and, Miss Madge are to be rid of you?
nyp.33433112004811	Welll — however, it ’s early still; he ’ll come yet, depend upon it.--What did you say, my dear?
nyp.33433112004811	Were his mother ’s love and trust to be thus justified?
nyp.33433112004811	Were not the worst of his difficulties, after all, imaginary?
nyp.33433112004811	Were scruples and conscien- tiousness but an artful device of the devil?
nyp.33433112004811	Were you jealous of my mother?
nyp.33433112004811	What a delight- ful coincidence, was n’t it?
nyp.33433112004811	What are you?
nyp.33433112004811	What could have been neater, for instance, than her management of Kineo?
nyp.33433112004811	What did he say about poor little Madge?
nyp.33433112004811	What did he want with her?
nyp.33433112004811	What did these tears betoken? — profounder sympathy with his rejoicing than could be borne on a smile?
nyp.33433112004811	What did these tears betoken? — profounder sympathy with his rejoicing than could be borne on a smile?
nyp.33433112004811	What did your brother say about her having played him to sleep this very morning?
nyp.33433112004811	What do you say to — let me see — to Madge Danver and Garth Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	What do you suppose was in that paper that he hid in the cellar? ” “ You ’re turning to the right again, ” said the artist, shaking his head.
nyp.33433112004811	What do you think of that, Mr. Garth? ” she demanded, with a sudden soft laugh that prevented him from knowing- exactly what to think.
nyp.33433112004811	What d’you know about it?
nyp.33433112004811	What had possessed him to expend so much pains in climbing out of the reach of his own hap- piness?
nyp.33433112004811	What have you done with the violet I gave you down by the lake?
nyp.33433112004811	What have you ever known of any hardships, I should like to know?
nyp.33433112004811	What have you painted since you were in college?
nyp.33433112004811	What if I were a beggar now — by my own voluntary act- and you were the possessor of eighty thousand pounds?
nyp.33433112004811	What if others — what if his father — were to do the same?
nyp.33433112004811	What is the use of my talking?
nyp.33433112004811	What is your objection?
nyp.33433112004811	What malicious per- versity of Nature was this?
nyp.33433112004811	What more pleasing disappointment could have been imagined?
nyp.33433112004811	What must I be- lieve next?
nyp.33433112004811	What right had he to laugh?
nyp.33433112004811	What shall we begin with?
nyp.33433112004811	What should a girl on the eve of a wealthy marriage want with eighty thousand pounds?
nyp.33433112004811	What sort of a fever is it, Go- lightley ’ i ” “ Is it contagious?
nyp.33433112004811	What sympathy could she have with a man capable of selling his artistic honor?
nyp.33433112004811	What the devil is that to me?
nyp.33433112004811	What was her con- stitution?
nyp.33433112004811	What was it?
nyp.33433112004811	What was the clog in his machinery that pre- vented his bringing all this accumulated energy to bear?
nyp.33433112004811	What was the use of sleight- of- hand and ingenuity if one had only shabby fellows, with coppers in their pockets, to practise upon?
nyp.33433112004811	What was this power, this clearness and facility, that ever and anon surged and lived within him?
nyp.33433112004811	What will Grandfather Graeme say to it, and Madge?
nyp.33433112004811	What would she have thought? —- perhaps it is as well. ” “ Father, do you sigh because I ’m wrong? ” demanded Garth, clearing his throat.
nyp.33433112004811	What would she have thought? —- perhaps it is as well. ” “ Father, do you sigh because I ’m wrong? ” demanded Garth, clearing his throat.
nyp.33433112004811	What you done with those papers, now?
nyp.33433112004811	What you think we do with Eve?
nyp.33433112004811	What ’s the news?
nyp.33433112004811	What, you mean ‘ make- believe? ’ No, no!
nyp.33433112004811	Whatl are not chimneys made for chimney- swallows?
nyp.33433112004811	When did you arrive, Uncle Golight- ley?

nyp.33433112004811	Who came?
nyp.33433112004811	Who can tell, you know — who can tell whether some of poor John ’s property may not actually have'passed into my possession?
nyp.33433112004811	Who could it be?
nyp.33433112004811	Who could say that Madge, at the worst, had been always and altogether false?

nyp.33433112004811	Who knows?
nyp.33433112004811	Whose money — um?
nyp.33433112004811	Why did n’t you ask him, or the horses, or perhaps our friend Garth, who made most of the noise? ” “ I thought it would be fairer to ask you.
nyp.33433112004811	Why did you come with me?
nyp.33433112004811	Why did you stay to talk with me in the studio?
nyp.33433112004811	Why do n’t you say so, then?
nyp.33433112004811	Why do n’t you show the strength that must be in you?
nyp.33433112004811	Why do n’t you tell me the truth about Elinor Golightley?
nyp.33433112004811	Why do n’t you write Milton, or paint Michael Angelo, or preach St. Paul?
nyp.33433112004811	Why do you wear a face?
nyp.33433112004811	Why had he not been content to remain on the same footing with the rest of the world, and take his equal chances?
nyp.33433112004811	Why had he fled?
nyp.33433112004811	Why should I varnish words with you, Miss Madge?
nyp.33433112004811	Why should n’t he be?
nyp.33433112004811	Why was it that the forms of the social world must always be under the control of the more shallow- minded and short- sighted?
nyp.33433112004811	Why you talk so — um?
nyp.33433112004811	Why, is history — I mean real not written history — irreverent?
nyp.33433112004811	Why, it ’s a mutual pleasure and gratification to both of us. ” “ Why do you tell me this, Uncle G0- lightley?"
nyp.33433112004811	Will Madge go with it?
nyp.33433112004811	Will it be long? ” “ What would Miss Margaret say if she knew you had not even mentioned her name yet?
nyp.33433112004811	Will it be long? ” “ What would Miss Margaret say if she knew you had not even mentioned her name yet?
nyp.33433112004811	Will that do?
nyp.33433112004811	Will you do that with me?
nyp.33433112004811	Will you say good- by to me?
nyp.33433112004811	Will you take it?
nyp.33433112004811	Will you, Garth Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	Wo n’t any of you relent to a poor wretch who ’d have been dead himself, but for an accident?
nyp.33433112004811	Would it be allowable, in the absence of any trustworthy information on the subject, to indulge in a little fanciful conjecture?
nyp.33433112004811	Would it be loving you to give up painting?
nyp.33433112004811	Would not Madge rather wait than marry a poor, stay- at- home farmer?
nyp.33433112004811	Would you have been astonished if you ’d met me in London, or Vienna, or Paris, or some of those nice places, leaning on the'witeh ’s arm?
nyp.33433112004811	Would you have married me any time in the last six years?
nyp.33433112004811	Would you like to go to Europe?
nyp.33433112004811	Wzis any proof obtainable?
nyp.33433112004811	Yes. ” “ Where did you get it?
nyp.33433112004811	You are an artist, I per- ceive — would you allow me?
nyp.33433112004811	You ca n’t put the fact into more explicit language than that, could you?
nyp.33433112004811	You did not stop at your grandfather ’s?
nyp.33433112004811	You do n’t hate me, do you?
nyp.33433112004811	You have done noth- ing wrong. ” “ But why should growing wise make you sad?
nyp.33433112004811	You have not yet given him the false check?
nyp.33433112004811	You knew he was go- ing to be here — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	You know I bequeathed you the key of my garret- room when I went away?
nyp.33433112004811	You know, my mother was a widow when she came North and married Captain Brian?
nyp.33433112004811	You must take care of him till we come bac. ” “ How long- a- that? ” demanded Niko- mis.
nyp.33433112004811	You never met any one, in Europe or anywhere, that you were afraid of?
nyp.33433112004811	You not rich any more?
nyp.33433112004811	You think Elinor can make it up to you; but what if she did n’t get back her fortune after all?
nyp.33433112004811	You understand that?"
nyp.33433112004811	You were talking about the law of harmony — don’t you see that face can never harmonize with the tone of the picture?
nyp.33433112004811	You will take me home, wo n’t you?
nyp.33433112004811	You would n’t give a man up for one trumpcry little genial, ven- ial fault?
nyp.33433112004811	You ’ll keep your word?
nyp.33433112004811	You ’re crazy; what can you do with them?
nyp.33433112004811	Your brother Go- lightley, I presume, is at least independent of you?
nyp.33433112004811	Your mother died the day before yesterday. ” “ Did she?
nyp.33433112004811	Your mother was a Danver, was she not?

nyp.33433112004811	and I was ninety-five last birthday, ma’am, so that need n’t trouble you — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	and did he hear his name coupled with hers?
nyp.33433112004811	and had all his boyish struggles and self- discipline brought him to this — that he must stand before his father to- morrow with murder on his soul?
nyp.33433112004811	and how would she manage that?
nyp.33433112004811	and if so, had Garth been always blameless for her ill- suc- cess?
nyp.33433112004811	and live there?
nyp.33433112004811	and might he not see Madge before he went, and have the consolation of telling her that he was to die in her cause?
nyp.33433112004811	and not rather Nikomis humming to herself the burden of an Indian chant?
nyp.33433112004811	and skate down there, away and away, as far as we can see — ever so far beyond Wa- beno?
nyp.33433112004811	and that easy precision of tread?
nyp.33433112004811	and what has that to do with it, I ’d like to know?
nyp.33433112004811	and which one?
nyp.33433112004811	angry because I caught you flirting with Elinor Golightley?
nyp.33433112004811	bahl — let him faint. ” “ Sam Kineo, you must give it me. ” “ Must, eh?
nyp.33433112004811	but who — who was it?
nyp.33433112004811	climbed up the chestnut again?

nyp.33433112004811	do you hear?
nyp.33433112004811	does n’t sound much like an Urmson — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	eh?

nyp.33433112004811	nothing worth having, am I?
nyp.33433112004811	now might I ask whether you reside here- abcuts, and happen to be personally ac~ quainted with Mr. Cuthbert Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	or could he, defeated and thrust down to the lowest pit of fortune, yet so far sympathize with inscrutable Destiny as to reflect her ironic grimace?
nyp.33433112004811	or even the wind rumbling in the chimney and sighing hoarser in the attic overhead?
nyp.33433112004811	or is Garth to be of the party?
nyp.33433112004811	or shall you do what you will find many of the pleasantest fellows doing — see life?
nyp.33433112004811	or was Madge ’s the fuller and more comprehensive, able to think and do things which the colder and narrower temperament must abjure?
nyp.33433112004811	or was she revolving the question in her mind?
nyp.33433112004811	or what had the conquest gained them?
nyp.33433112004811	or what is the secret of the confiagration?
nyp.33433112004811	or whether Kineo would easily relinquish her?
nyp.33433112004811	or — would not Garth do without me?
nyp.33433112004811	really a painter?

nyp.33433112004811	takes a devil to make an angel, is that it?
nyp.33433112004811	that is, scrape an acquaintance with the devil?
nyp.33433112004811	the best thing of all — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	the billet- dam: lost?
nyp.33433112004811	think you could bully m'e?
nyp.33433112004811	treat me as if I were not a lady? ” she went on, angrily.
nyp.33433112004811	was not that the minister ’s laugh?
nyp.33433112004811	ways been on the best terms. ” “ He ’s staying with you, I suppose?
nyp.33433112004811	were there two wills?
nyp.33433112004811	what put his being ‘ in our neighborhood ’ in your head? ” “ You said the accomplice was without money, and hiding hereabouts.
nyp.33433112004811	what ’s that on the hill?
nyp.33433112004811	where are they?
nyp.33433112004811	where is she?
nyp.33433112004811	where is that boy?
nyp.33433112004811	where ’s Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	why are n’t we bears and lions, instead of pottering about between heaven and earth, afraid to say what we think, or do what we wish?
nyp.33433112004811	why did n’t you tell me yester- day that you meant to do it?
nyp.33433112004811	you were just a tiny bit angry, after all. ” “ What has got into your little head?
nyp.33433112004811	you ’ve heard that?
nyp.33433112004811	— not here?
nyp.33433112004811	— “ Maggie, we ’re starting, child l — Well, would n’t you think she was deaf, ma’am?"
nyp.33433112004811	‘ Meet her either? ’ what are you talk- in ’ about, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	‘ Meet her either? ’ what are you talk- in ’ about, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	‘ “ Meet who?
nyp.33433112004811	’ ‘ Say?
nyp.33433112004811	’_ ’ “ And the ladies too?
nyp.33433112004811	“ And what do you mean to do in col- lege 2/ Shall you stand in the first ten?
nyp.33433112004811	“ And what sort of a chap is this correspondent of yours? ” he asked; “ and what may his name be?
nyp.33433112004811	“ And what sort of a chap is this correspondent of yours? ” he asked; “ and what may his name be?
nyp.33433112004811	“ And you and Mrs. Mildred been nursing him?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Any one else for the lake?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Are not those two people handsome and well- matched — eh?
nyp.33433112004811	“ BY George, old chap, how delightful all this is, eh?
nyp.33433112004811	“ But at least you think it better than mine?
nyp.33433112004811	“ But does she’snspect Golightley of being the blackguard?
nyp.33433112004811	“ But painting is irreverent. ” “ Irreverent?
nyp.33433112004811	“ But she did it for Mrs. Tenterden ’s sake. ” “ Oh, then you imagine her to be not in love?
nyp.33433112004811	“ But speaking of Kineo — I understand there was no evidence to convict him on that charge?
nyp.33433112004811	“ But why do you think she is one of those Indians instead of any other? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Can you really be my hero?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Come away — hush 1 Oh, can not you pray God to forgive you?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Damn you, you have n’t lost them?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Dear me, Garth, are you never going to move?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Did n’t I tell you so?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Did you ever hear of a young fellow named Hafiz, who wanted to pull down this tiresome old sky?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Did you ever see a famous picture? ” Garth shook his head.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Did you — steal-the money?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Did you find Niko- mis good company? ” he asked.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do I not love him? ” she asked herself.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do n’t you feel well?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you forgive him? ” said the little creature, fixing her black eyes on her com- panion ’s face.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you know I could kill you where you stand?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you know what you are talking about?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you mean to say that anything of this sort happened?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you misunderstand me on pur- p05e?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you remember that night when you canoed the rapids?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Do you wish to leave us, my child? ” asked his mother, with a slight tremor of sadness in her voice, in spite of her effort to make it cheerful.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Does the principal know that he is un- der surveillance?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Does your future husband authorize that invitation?
nyp.33433112004811	“ D’ye mean about the kissing?
nyp.33433112004811	“ D’you think she likes you, eh? ” he continued, rapidly; “ think she likes you, Garth Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	“ D’you think she likes you, eh? ” he continued, rapidly; “ think she likes you, Garth Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Elinor, my dear, you ’ll wait?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Everybody has been saying lately that you were looking ill; and Nikomis said — ” “ What?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Father?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Give me a check for ten thousand pounds, ’ nd you may have your letters. ”'“ Ten thousand for the letters? — modest, upon my word!
nyp.33433112004811	“ Glad t'see me, eh?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Golightley has certainly been very gen- erous, has n’t he?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Has she gone up- stairs?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Have the morning and the autumn tints got into her throat? ” he asked him- self.
nyp.33433112004811	“ He lives openly — as you and I and Mr. Urmson do — here in our neighborhood?
nyp.33433112004811	“ He won‘t thank you in the end, and I will have my way in every- thing in spite of you all. ” “ And I ’m to clear out?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Hey?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How are you, father?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How are your patients?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How can I help trusting you, when you ’re so kind to me?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How do they get on at your house?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How do you know I did n’t, sir?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How long, may I ask, have you been in the witch- business, Miss Maggie?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How now?
nyp.33433112004811	“ How ’s this?
nyp.33433112004811	“ I Want no breakfast, ” said he; “ be- sides, it ’s time we were ofi ‘, uncle — Father, you ’re coming with us?
nyp.33433112004811	“ I knew who your daughter- in- law was before, granny; but you never told me how kind my grandpa had been to me — what?
nyp.33433112004811	“ If I knew, ” the other would reply, “ I would n’t wait to graduate. ” “ Lawyer, doctor, parson, grocer, pirate, president, gold- digger?
nyp.33433112004811	“ If you consider me fit to be shaken hands with, will you do it? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is anything the matter, father? ” he asked, in a low tone.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is it on your own account that you are in haste?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is my father ill?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is that all you paint for — to make me a fortune?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is this Mrs. Urmson?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is this the threshold- stone you all were talking about, ” inquired Mrs. Tenterden, “ that has the Indians under it?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is this to part Garth and me?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Is your mother ill?
nyp.33433112004811	“ It was here we had our first talk — do you remember it?
nyp.33433112004811	“ It was your voice I heard across the cove?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Let ’s play hide- and- seek, or blind- man’s- bufi', or let's have a dancel Oh, yes, a dance — shall not we, Margaret?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Liberty?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Like him?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Love of beauty?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Maybe she got ’ em. ” “ By the devil, you old hag,”_said Sam, sitting up with a threatening look, “ did n’t I tell you, no nonsense?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Mother, will you forgive me?
nyp.33433112004811	“ My violin and I can be happy together, in spite of every- body — can’t we, dear?
nyp.33433112004811	“ N 0?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Nellie, how can you?
nyp.33433112004811	“ No, no! ” he exclaimed, with energy, adding in a lower tone: “ God made you; what man has a right to imitate your beauty?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Now, tell me, Garth, have you never done what was a little wrong, because it was also very agree- able?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Now, then, what do you want? ” blus- tered he, raising his voice.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Oh, well, granny, Golightley ’s here, is n’t he?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Professor Grindle, do you like being a professor?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Say you ’ll forgive me, dear Garth — and kiss me, won‘t you?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Shall you take no one with you? ” she asked.
nyp.33433112004811	“ She wants him to resemble me, with my sharp nose and bald forehead and consumptive tendency — don’t you, Cotton?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Sighing, was 1?
nyp.33433112004811	“ So Jack Selwyn has let out the se — cret, has he?
nyp.33433112004811	“ So this is where you go? ” said he.
nyp.33433112004811	“ So you brought his widow and Miss Golightley to America?"
nyp.33433112004811	“ Sure all safe here — what?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Tell me, Garth, what would you say, really, if you were never to see me again — if I were to run away or something, and never come back?
nyp.33433112004811	“ The etiquette of chivalry must be observed — So Miss Dan- ver is to be your mother ’s successor?
nyp.33433112004811	“ The old boy makes quite a fine appear- ance, does n’t he?
nyp.33433112004811	“ There never was such a woman l ” he said to himself; “ and am not I the luckiest and happiest of men 2?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Think of his being a collegianl And all great people have been to college, have n’t they, Mr. Graeme?
nyp.33433112004811	“ To what end, ” wondered Garth, “ does Om- nipotence permit such a waste of force?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Try not to say what is disgraceful,'Madge — for your own sake. ” “ Or for Elinor ’s sake — which?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Turn more to the left, and look at the battle- axe over the fire- place. ”'“ Your uncle is very rich now, is n’t he?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Want to marry dear Garth,'do you?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Was it a lie?"
nyp.33433112004811	“ We ’ll make a Yankee of her yet — eh, Garth? ” Garth kept silence, but liked the super- cilious young lady a little better.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Well, where did Nikomis go?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What are judgments to me?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What are you going to be, after gradu- ating, Urmson? ” was frequently Selwyn ’s inquiry.
nyp.33433112004811	“ What are you in a rage about?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What can have become of that boy of yours, old chap?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What credit do you expect?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What do I think of you, backwoods- mau?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What do you care whose money it was?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What do you know about nursing, and what would young Mr. Garth say to us if we allowed you to catch the disease from him?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What do you want?"
nyp.33433112004811	“ What for?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What have I done that gives you the right to speak to me so?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What is it, my dear?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What is it?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What is it? — you have given him an opiate to make him sleep!
nyp.33433112004811	“ What made you yell out, you old fool?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What makes you beautiful?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What put that in your head? ” he asked at length.
nyp.33433112004811	“ What right have I to meddle between them? ” she demanded at last.
nyp.33433112004811	“ What shall I do?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What shall we do first? ” she asked looking smilingly around upon the smiling faces.
nyp.33433112004811	“ What shall you do instead?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What should you care ’ f I stuck him?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What sort of an ideal has a girl like that got?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What was the sermon about, my dear?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What you staring at, granny?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What ’s the matter now?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What ’s the use of doing fine things if nobody ’s to hear about them?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What ’s the use of you and me bearing malice, Madge?
nyp.33433112004811	“ What?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Where ba ’ you been, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Where is your studio, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Whom do you mean, child?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why are you always so soft and kind, humoring my foolishness and pet- ting me and complying with me?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why ca n’t he talk, then?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why did n’t we speak to him?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why do n’t you speak straight out?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why not have it here beneath the tree? ” demanded the ponderous tones of the reverend Titan.
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why these untimely sobs, dearest lady- love?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why you ask, Garth?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why you come this way?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Why you make look so poor, Sam?
nyp.33433112004811	“ Would you care, then? ” she asked, moving a chip of birch- bark about with the point of one little shoe.
nyp.33433112004811	“ You did n’t see anything — not meet any one — not see any one, I mean?
nyp.33433112004811	“ You did fight him?
nyp.33433112004811	“ You fool! ” she ex- claimed, g'utturally, “ you killed her? ” “ Not I!
nyp.33433112004811	“ You have not told Madge of this?
nyp.33433112004811	“ You have n’t seen Mrs. Tenterden?
nyp.33433112004811	“ You kill — now you want scalp — um?
nyp.33433112004811	“ You might do anything with such hands. “ “ I ’ll make you a fortune with them. ” “ Will you? ” said she, glancing at him THE STUDIO.
nyp.33433112004811	“ You see it ’s very easy, ” Madge ob- served;_ “ but I suppose you do n’t have many chances to skate in Europe?
nyp.33433112004811	“ You stolen money, Sam 2—stolen money right out?
nyp.33433112004811	“ ls Mr. Urmson with his son? ” she added.
nyp.33433112004811	” Elinor hesitated: was Madge testing her sincerity?
nyp.33433112004811	” Garth hesitated, half smiling._ “ Are you always thinking of me when you paint? ” she went on, holding up her finger.
nyp.33433112004811	” Jack longed to re- tort; but he repressed himself, and said in- stead: “ So you like New England savagery?
nyp.33433112004811	” The little woman stared, laughed, checked herself, scrutinized the boy ’s face keenly, and finally began to whimper: “ Wh- what do you mean?
nyp.33433112004811	” burst forth Garth in a sudden blaze, “ what would you have me do? ” The woman ’s eyes filled with tears, and she hid her face in her hands.
nyp.33433112004811	” exclaimed Madge; “ how did you get out of the cellar?
nyp.33433112004811	” he whispered; “ police?
nyp.33433112004811	” in- quired Garth, as he gathered up his reins, “ or do you think you can risk wearing it yourself?
nyp.33433112004811	” says the old one, “ you are young and hot- headed; but what can you do?
nyp.33433112004811	” was his greeting, “ are you sleepy?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ All right?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ But does my uncle take advantage of such a promise — is he dishonorable? ” de- manded Garth, with an indignant flush.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ But why do you ask me? ” repeated Madge, coldly.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ But would you like to go soon — with us?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ But you ’re glad to be at home again? ” Golightley took off his hat and passed his fingers wearily through his hair.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Do you remember, the last time we were up here, giving me some brandy?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Do you think Garth so very much like his grandfather?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Father, are there any Golightleys living now? ” “ Unless Maud Golightley ’s first daughter be alive, none that I know of.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Garth, have you shown Miss Madge that new tulip of yours?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Genius for what?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Good enough to lie in a garret with, are n’t they?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Has Mrs. Tenterden got any?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Have you seen Miss Denver? ” asked Garth, gently, of the small boy.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ How could I believe what is not true?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ How do you mean?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ In consequence?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Is poor old Urmhurst so near its death? ” muttered Garth.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ O Elinor, ca n’t you care for me a little still?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Oh — college?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Oh — when you fainted away"?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Oh, does n’t he know i — Why, do n’t you know, dear?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Rather imagine not, Miss Golightley. ” “ He lives openly — isn’t hiding, as the ac- complice is?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Well — what if I did have it, in my pocket, now?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ What have I done? ” “ We ’ll see, my little dear.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ What ought you to he? ” demanded she, pouting.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ What you looking so glum about, granny? ” returned Sam, with a passing scowl.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ What?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ When did you make this discovery?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Why did n’t you down on your knees, lad, and pray God to succor you? ” boomed the venerable person, at this point.
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Why not?
nyp.33433112004811	” “ Why?

osu.32435058057506	“ Why do you want it? ” he countered.
osu.32435058057506	“ Why not? ” De Grecque looked at the man who asked the question.
osu.32435058057506	“ Why not? ” retorted Gryce.
osu.32435058057506	“ Why quibble, why waste time? ” demanded Wilder.
osu.32435058057506	“ Why quibble?
osu.32435058057506	“ Why should I? ” he whimpered.
osu.32435058057506	“ Why waste time upon him? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057506	“ Why?
osu.32435058057506	“ Why? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057506	“ Would it be useless to tell you that you are quite mistaken about me? ” she asked.
osu.32435058057506	“ Wth to pull out?
osu.32435058057506	“ YOU wo n’t change your mind, Father? ” Gryce ’s eyes were impatient.
osu.32435058057506	“ Yes? ” encouraged the secretary gently.
osu.32435058057506	“ You are an American citizen, Mr. Curtiss? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057506	“ You are beginning to understand, are you not, Mr. Gryce, that those who oppose us must reckon with us, eh?
osu.32435058057506	“ You are n’t telling me this with the hope that I will pat you on the back, Deems? ” he asked, Deems shook his head.
osu.32435058057506	“ You are quite positive of the date? ” De Grecque smiled.
osu.32435058057506	“ You did that? ” asked Jamison.
osu.32435058057506	“ You do n’t suppose so? ” Gryce took another step toward the reporter.
osu.32435058057506	“ You do n’t? ” de Grecque laughed.
osu.32435058057506	“ You have known Mr. Graffe a long time? ” The board of directors seemed to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the secretary.
osu.32435058057506	“ You have nothing to say, eh?
osu.32435058057506	“ You insist? ” he asked.
osu.32435058057506	“ You knew it, Gryce? ” The publisher puffed at his cigar.
osu.32435058057506	“ You knew of — us — before Grafl'e introduced us? ” Curtiss shook his head.
osu.32435058057506	“ You love her, eh?
osu.32435058057506	“ You mean, Graffe, that Miss Gryce is this woman? ” “ I can think so, ca n’t I?

osu.32435058057506	“ You would consider such an offer, then? ” “ Make it, ” replied Deems.
osu.32435058057506	“ You ’re a newspaper man, are n’t you? ” Deems nodded.

osu.32435058046913	Am I right? ” “ Yes, that is my opinion. ” “ Now we come to my point, ” he said, rising and beginning to pace the room.
osu.32435058046913	And I ’m hanged if I do n’t believe he knew it, too! ” DEDUCTIONS I47 ten to one in favor of his being discovered?

osu.32435058046913	And now, Mr. Jones, having doped it out, as you expressed it, would you mind telling me who committed that murder? ” I asked quizzically.
osu.32435058046913	And, of course he knew that he was ruined? ” I continued.
osu.32435058046913	As I drove toward town I remarked, “ Was there really someone in that safe, McKelvie? ” “ Certainly.
osu.32435058046913	Besides, the study was in total dark- ness — ” “ You are sure the study was in darkness? ” he inter- rupted with an odd look.
osu.32435058046913	But in that event why had he not come forward to free Ruth from jail?
osu.32435058046913	But that he should be aware of all three of them seems incredible! ” “ Why incredible? ” I objected.
osu.32435058046913	But what about the safe? ” I continued.
osu.32435058046913	But where in Kingdom Come 74 THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN ROOM was I going to find it?
osu.32435058046913	But you have n’t answered my original query. ” “ About the light?
osu.32435058046913	By the way, that vindictive old man did n’t shoot him, did he? ”- “ No, I do n’t believe he more than grazed him, if he hit him at all.
osu.32435058046913	Could it be that others besides ourselves had heard the shot?
osu.32435058046913	Could the weapon be murder and the answer to the problem the fact that Ruth was shielding her brother again?
osu.32435058046913	Cunningham, what are all these people doing here? ” Before the lawyer could answer him, he cried out suddenly, “ My uncle!
osu.32435058046913	Cunningham?
osu.32435058046913	Darwin, did you ever hear of Cora Manning? ” suddenly inquired the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	Darwin, do you recognize this pistol? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058046913	Darwin, naturally. ” “ How on earth did he know she would come into the room?
osu.32435058046913	Darwin, was your husband in the habit of wearing rings? ” “ I never saw him wear any, ” she answered.
osu.32435058046913	Davies, did you not think it strange that she should send for you so late at night? ” he commenced, after a slight pause.
osu.32435058046913	Davies, you know, of course, that if a man dies intestate, his wife inherits his property? ” I nodded, but was decidedly puzzled.
osu.32435058046913	Did I say a month?
osu.32435058046913	Did McKelvie have any idea of the man ’s identity, or was he also groping in the dark?
osu.32435058046913	Did he also play fast and loose in his domestic affairs? ” continued the coroner with a shrewdness I should not have given him credit for.
osu.32435058046913	Did he instigate the murder and then in re- morse commit suicide? ” “ No, I do n’t believe it, ” I said stoutly.
osu.32435058046913	Did he not tell you what you should or should not say in answer to the coroner's questions? ” he explained.
osu.32435058046913	Did n’t he say he had a bad cold or something of the sort?
osu.32435058046913	Did you ever hear of her, Mr. Davies? ” continued the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	Did you know that he was here the night of the murder? ” “ Here in the house? ” I gasped.
osu.32435058046913	Did you know that he was here the night of the murder? ” “ Here in the house? ” I gasped.
osu.32435058046913	Did you know that he was making a new will when he was ShOt? ” Ruth opened her eyes wide in astonishment.
osu.32435058046913	Did you open the study door even a crack that time by any chance? ” resumed McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	Did you remain in the house when Mr. Frank Darwin went to Europe in 1906? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435058046913	Do you mean that he had been gradually removing them from your care? ” This time the lawyer nodded.
osu.32435058046913	Do you see that car?
osu.32435058046913	Do you suppose she gave it to him? ” “ Richard Trenton, ” he mused, glancing at his watch.
osu.32435058046913	Do you think he was in the habit of writing in the dark? ” he inquired sarcastically.
osu.32435058046913	Do you think she's starving, too? ” asked Jones, as we crossed the passageway and entered the main hall.
osu.32435058046913	Does the young idiot think all that could happen in two minutes?
osu.32435058046913	GRAY DON MCKELVIE Io7( 9) Why is there so much evidence against Mrs. Darwin, and who would most desire to injure her?
osu.32435058046913	Give me your opinion. ” “ How should I know? ” I retorted glumly.
osu.32435058046913	Had I locked him in to breathe his last alone, when perhaps I might have saved his life?
osu.32435058046913	Had he then been alive when I carried Ruth from the room?
osu.32435058046913	Had we any proof that his story was true?
osu.32435058046913	Have you come to remind me that it is long past my bed- time? ” I inquired.
osu.32435058046913	Have you discovered anything of value so far? ” he continued with friendly interest.
osu.32435058046913	Have you ever studied psychology?
osu.32435058046913	Have you forgotten that there are three men guarding the outer door? ” he said.
osu.32435058046913	He could n’t possibly know when, could he? ” he asked appealingly.
osu.32435058046913	He had been successful, but what had he expected to find?
osu.32435058046913	He looked at me thoughtfully a moment and then added, “ You were wondering why, being a broker yourself, you had not heard of it?
osu.32435058046913	He should know how to play fast and loose, eh?
osu.32435058046913	He told me nothing. ” “ Since he was so secretive, might he not have put some of his securities in that safe? ” “ No, I do n’t think so.
osu.32435058046913	He was just going out. ” “ Then he was not home for dinner? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435058046913	He — he only bought me one. ” “ Was n’t it strange — his buying only one? ” “ No — no.
osu.32435058046913	He's a red- whiskered chap, is he not? ” McKelvie nodded.
osu.32435058046913	His voice was so high- pitched with excitement that my questions vanished from my mind as if by magic, and all I could exclaim was, “ What is it?
osu.32435058046913	How are you going to get around it? ” I said emphatically.
osu.32435058046913	How can I ever thank you?
osu.32435058046913	How could he possibly divine that I would urge her to get me that letter when I only spoke on impulse myself? ” McKelvie sighed.
osu.32435058046913	How dared his father let him loose upon the world without teaching him the first principles of self- restraint?
osu.32435058046913	How did you know so unerringly that the lamp was also lighted from the Safe? ” “ Childishly simple.
osu.32435058046913	How do you explain the circum- stance? ” he inquired politely.
osu.32435058046913	How does what Cunningham told us affect the case as it now stands? ” “ Not a hair's breadth.
osu.32435058046913	How many of last night's events had come under his notice?
osu.32435058046913	How much had I forgotten in the six months that had passed?
osu.32435058046913	I can give the same evidence I gave before? ” gasped Orton incredulously.
osu.32435058046913	I examined the window hangings as I locked up. ” “ What about the Safe? ” “ It was partly open and I looked in as I passed.
osu.32435058046913	I gave him the money myself. ” “ Did he take it in gold or notes? ” asked McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	I had already deduced a secret entrance. ” “ How? ” I broke in.
osu.32435058046913	I had none which I could give him. ” “ What about family resemblance? ” Mr. Trenton shook his head.
osu.32435058046913	I have no idea where it went. ” “ Did McKelvie search the room? ” “ With a magnifying glass.
osu.32435058046913	I heard Lee's wondering, “ Uncle Phil? ” and unable to believe my ears I took a second look.
osu.32435058046913	I remained as caretaker. ” “ Then you can tell us when that safe was built? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435058046913	I remarked that a broker ought to know how to play fast and loose, and he replied: “ Yes, and other things, too, eh?
osu.32435058046913	I suppose the police explained to your satisfaction how the murderer shot so accurately in the dark? ” he ended, cynically.
osu.32435058046913	I surmised he needed them in his dealings in Wall Street. ”- “ He did not actually say so? ” “ No.
osu.32435058046913	I swear I never heard him! ” “ What about Mrs. Darwin's testimony that he was in the hall? ” he asked.
osu.32435058046913	I went in yesterday morning to put away Mr. Darwin's things, Sir. ” “ Have you any provisions in the house? ” was the next question.
osu.32435058046913	I ’ll send for it when I want it. ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ What's the idea?
osu.32435058046913	I ’m glad he got his deserts. ” “ Did he really mean to kill himself? ” I asked pres- ently.
osu.32435058046913	I4I 142 THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN ROOM Mr. McKelvie, I presume? ” turning toward my com- panion.
osu.32435058046913	If he is a lawyer, where does he conduct his practice?
osu.32435058046913	If she swore she did know that fact, who could contradict her? ” and he smiled blandly.
osu.32435058046913	If therefore the uncle deemed her worthy to become his chief legatee, was it not more than likely that the nephew was also acquainted with the girl?
osu.32435058046913	In God's name why?
osu.32435058046913	It may take months to find Lee and we have n’t months to waste on this case. ” “ What do you propose to do then? ” I asked despair- ingly.
osu.32435058046913	It must be a recent one, for he looks older than I remember him. ” “ What picture of Dick? ” he asked.
osu.32435058046913	It was then he laughed and said: ‘ So we ’ve a broker in the house, eh?
osu.32435058046913	Lee Dar win engaged rooms for that night, did he not? ” con- tinued McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	McKelvie stepped through first and called: “ Miss Manning, are you there? ” he asked.
osu.32435058046913	Mr. Orton and Mrs. Darwin dined alone, sir, for even Mr. Lee was away. ” “ Who is Mr. Lee? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435058046913	No bullet either?
osu.32435058046913	Not much of a hold, you think?
osu.32435058046913	Not much, was it? ” he said.
osu.32435058046913	Now I want to know why? ” “ Mr.
osu.32435058046913	Now, Miss Manning, are you sure he is coming back to- morrow? ” “ Yes, he told me he would return to- morrow night.
osu.32435058046913	Now, the question is, What was he doing be- tween the time he left the hotel and one o’clock on the night of the murder?
osu.32435058046913	Oh, I say, McKelvie, what about letting me get busy on the trail of the revolver that made that second shot?
osu.32435058046913	Oh, that someone would write me down an ass! ” 156 THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN ROOM* What's the trouble, now? ” I asked.
osu.32435058046913	Our only chance lies in getting there ahead of the criminal. ” “ How do you know it's not a trap? ” I asked.
osu.32435058046913	Philip Darwin had an account here, did he not? ” “ Raines can tell you, ” Mr. Trenton replied, ringing for the head cashier.

osu.32435058046913	She pointed a pistol at him, you know. ” “ Yes, and I presume she kept the man she loves in duress all this time?
osu.32435058046913	Soon? ” “ Yes, but I ’m going to ask you to remain in this house to- night.
osu.32435058046913	Supposing there had been some- one behind you, could you have heard that person? ” “ No.
osu.32435058046913	THE SIGNET RING I95 “ Who was it? ” I asked eagerly.
osu.32435058046913	That ’s the third one I ’ve seen. ” “ Third?
osu.32435058046913	The butler told me, and that is all I know, sir. ” “ You have no idea what was in the note? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435058046913	The last I heard of him he had gone South. ” “ Lee Darwin gone South? ” he repeated.
osu.32435058046913	The less shooting the better for us, I expect. ” “ Is it Lee? ” I inquired.
osu.32435058046913	The music hall attendant remembers speaking to CHAPTER V THE SECRETARY WHAT was Orton going to say?
osu.32435058046913	The ques- tion was, how?
osu.32435058046913	Then I heard him add to himself, “ Where can she be?
osu.32435058046913	Then what? ” McKelvie calmed down and resumed his story.
osu.32435058046913	Then you mean that Lee killed his uncle? ” McKelvie shrugged.
osu.32435058046913	Then, satisfied that all was as perfect as he could make it, he turned off the light and waited. ” “ What for? ” “ Mrs.
osu.32435058046913	There is no one in the house now, sir. ” “ Is there an attic to the house? ” “ Yes, sir; but I ’m sure there's no one there.
osu.32435058046913	They believe that you and Mrs. Darwin concocted that bit of evidence. ” “ When? ” I spluttered.
osu.32435058046913	They were quarreling about the love letter I had put together for him. ” “ When did you show him this letter? ” interrupted McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	This applies to all the servants, you can SWear to that? ” “ Yes, sir, to all except the valet and Mrs. Darwin's THE INQUEST 3I maid.
osu.32435058046913	Was I too beginning to have hallucinations?
osu.32435058046913	Was he someone I knew or a stranger who had hitherto remained unsuspected by us?
osu.32435058046913	Was he still in the city or had he left the country?
osu.32435058046913	Was it merely in the capacity of her friend? ” He spoke diffidently, as if anxious not to offend my sensibilities.
osu.32435058046913	Was that all he said? ” demanded McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	Was that the way it happened? ” “ Sort of like that.
osu.32435058046913	We'll go out there now, and in an hour we ’ll have her free. ” “ Do you want a taxi? ” asked Jones.
osu.32435058046913	Well, doctor? ” “ He ’s coming on fine.
osu.32435058046913	Well, what of it?
osu.32435058046913	Well? ” as Raines came in again.
osu.32435058046913	Were you able to tell what it was? ” “ Yes, it was a pistol, ” he said, with a triumphant look in my direction.
osu.32435058046913	What Darwin called me in his telegram I do not know, since I did not see it. ” “ How do you know he sent a telegram? ” queried McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	What an idiot I was not to think of it before. ” “ How do you make that out? ” asked Jones.
osu.32435058046913	What chance then had the truth for even so much as lifting its head?
osu.32435058046913	What do you know about this affair? ” He was opening his mouth to say I know not what when he caught my eye.
osu.32435058046913	What does the doctor say? ” “ He'll pull him around.
osu.32435058046913	What else would you expect of Jones?
osu.32435058046913	What had occasioned this sud- den need for so much cash?
osu.32435058046913	What is it?
osu.32435058046913	What is the room directly above this end of the study? ” “ Darwin's dressing- room, ” I replied.
osu.32435058046913	What is your father's present address? ” “ Daddy's address?
osu.32435058046913	What is your father's present address? ” “ Daddy's address?
osu.32435058046913	What made you keep them? ” his eyes on the other man ’s face.
osu.32435058046913	What other reason could Dick have for the deception which he had prac- tised upon us all?
osu.32435058046913	What paradox was this, then?
osu.32435058046913	What right had any man to bring up a son in that fashion?
osu.32435058046913	What was the motive?
osu.32435058046913	What was their reason, do you suppose? ” I asked sud- denly.
osu.32435058046913	What was to prevent his repeating the act when he realized the injustice that had been done Ruth in forcing her to marry such a man?
osu.32435058046913	What would you? ” he shrugged whim- sically.
osu.32435058046913	What's the rest of your story? ” re- torted McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	Where did he go between the morning of the eighth and the afternoon of the ninth?
osu.32435058046913	Where do you suppose he has hidden Cora Manning? ” Where, indeed, with the whole of New York to.
osu.32435058046913	Where had he been when Ruth left the drawing- room and how close was he to the scene of the tragedy when the shot was fired?
osu.32435058046913	Where?
osu.32435058046913	Who else could have done it? ” I prompted, as he remained absorbed in thought.
osu.32435058046913	Who is in there with you? ” it said.
osu.32435058046913	Who is this mysterious man? ” I glanced at McKelvie, but he was paying no atten- tion to our conversation.
osu.32435058046913	Who was Gilmore any way?
osu.32435058046913	Who was he?
osu.32435058046913	Who, then, was the man we had found dead in this room, the man we had buried under Darwin's name?
osu.32435058046913	Whose was the blood- stained handker- chief? ” continued Jones.
osu.32435058046913	Why did the doctors disagree, and which was in the right?
osu.32435058046913	Why did you deny knowing Cora Manning at the inquest? ” THE INTERVIEW II3 been so intent on shrouding her identity in mystery.
osu.32435058046913	Why do n’t you get a divorce or at least a separation?
osu.32435058046913	Why do you suppose the mur- derer took the trouble to make those marks in the carpet except to fool the police? ” he raged.
osu.32435058046913	Why had he drugged me then?
osu.32435058046913	Why on earth did you pick that old fossil to defend her? ” he continued, as we re- entered my car.
osu.32435058046913	Why should I make it up?
osu.32435058046913	Why then did he remain in hiding, or had he returned to Chicago without making use of his “ weapon ” when he learned that Darwin was dead?
osu.32435058046913	Why then does n’t the other bulb light also? ” “ There may be no bulb in the left- hand socket, ” I suggested.
osu.32435058046913	Why was he permitting Cunning- ham to remain in ignorance of our latest discovery concerning Richard Trenton?
osu.32435058046913	Why was it then that Jones and I did not guess the truth the night we heard Lee's story? ” “ Because you had no idea of the motive for the crime.
osu.32435058046913	Why was the pistol fired at mid- night? ” Jones asked.
osu.32435058046913	Why?
osu.32435058046913	Will you answer a few more questions? ” The frown cleared.
osu.32435058046913	Would he tell me or Orton to summon her?
osu.32435058046913	Yet what did McKelvie hope to learn by visiting the scene of the Suicide?
osu.32435058046913	Yet, how could it possibly be?
osu.32435058046913	You are not saying it just to comfort me? ” She laid a hand upon his arm as she answered quietly, “ I do n’t believe it, Daddy.
osu.32435058046913	You did not know the object was a pistol you said? ” “ I did not know it.
osu.32435058046913	You mean — Cora Man- ning? ” I inquired.
osu.32435058046913	You saw him? ” I questioned.
osu.32435058046913	You see, I know where it is. ” “ You do? ” Jones looked incredulous.
osu.32435058046913	You — you mean murdered? ” in a horrified whisper.
osu.32435058046913	You — you wish him to identify the body? ” I asked, returning to earth with a decided jolt, mental if not physical.
osu.32435058046913	Yourself or your client? ” inquired Jones shrewdly.
osu.32435058046913	“ A quarrel, eh?
osu.32435058046913	“ And it is n’t hers? ” persisted the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ And the body has not been recovered? ” continued McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ And this gentleman is Mr. Trenton, I take it? ” “ Yes, Mr. Jones.
osu.32435058046913	“ And this one looks like a gentleman, is that it? ” supplemented McKelvie with a smile.
osu.32435058046913	“ And while you were there did you hear any sounds, a person walking, for instance? ” continued McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Answers satisfactory? ” asked Cunningham with a wry smile.
osu.32435058046913	“ Any increase lately? ” asked McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Any of his belongings still around? ” queried McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Are you a criminal lawyer, Mr. Cunningham? ” queried McKelvie suddenly.
osu.32435058046913	“ Are you a lawyer, Mr. Cunningham? ” he asked bluntly.
osu.32435058046913	“ Are you the only two people awake in this house? ” he inquired, to gain time.
osu.32435058046913	“ But what right have you to ques- tion me? ” “ I am investigating the case for Mr. Davies on the quiet, ” answered McKelvie suavely.
osu.32435058046913	“ But why do n’t you surround the place with the police right away? ” “ Do you know where we are going? ” he asked curi- ously.
osu.32435058046913	“ But why do n’t you surround the place with the police right away? ” “ Do you know where we are going? ” he asked curi- ously.
osu.32435058046913	“ But why, man, why? ” I persisted.
osu.32435058046913	“ But why?
osu.32435058046913	“ But, heavens, man, how did she get in? ” I cried.
osu.32435058046913	“ But, hello, what's in this envelope? ” I 18 THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN ROOM “ Burnt scraps of the torn will.
osu.32435058046913	“ By the way, how much was his whole fortune? ” “ I do n’t really know, but I believe he got quite a bit when he married Mrs. Darwin.
osu.32435058046913	“ By the way, it was rather an odd room — for a bachelor. ” “ Did you remark the gold and blue?
osu.32435058046913	“ Can you spare me a few minutes? ” he inquired, as he glanced at the work on my desk.
osu.32435058046913	“ Can you tell me where I can find Ben Kite to- night? ” I heard McKelvie ask.
osu.32435058046913	“ Carlton, do you still believe in me? ” she asked dully.
osu.32435058046913	“ Carlton, have they really dared to commit Ruth to jail? ” he asked in a voice that trembled with anger and emotion.
osu.32435058046913	“ Cora — Manning?
osu.32435058046913	“ Could she not have written to warn you, just as well? ” pursued the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Desperate measures, eh?
osu.32435058046913	“ Did I do that to you, Carlton? ” she murmured, brokenly.
osu.32435058046913	“ Did n’t you think it peculiar that she should leave suddenly at that time of night without leaving her address behind? ” he continued.
osu.32435058046913	“ Did the maid give you Mr. Davies ’ address? ” asked an inquisitive juror.
osu.32435058046913	“ Did the murderer also light the lamp? ” Jones'pen scratched away as he spoke.
osu.32435058046913	“ Did you notice anything odd about it? ” he asked.
osu.32435058046913	“ Did you see Mr. Lee Darwin leave the house yesterday morn- ing? ” inquired the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do n’t you suppose he comes here to see the girl?
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you get the significance? ” he asked quickly.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you know anyone by the name of Cora Man- ning? ” pursued the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you know what occasioned the quarrel between the husband and wife? ” suddenly inquired the inquisi- tive juror.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you know whose it is? ” he asked low.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you mean that he is out of town? ” asked McKelvie anxiously.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you re- member the night he told us that pleasant fiction about the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you realize that your silence will militate against you? ” “ I ca n’t help it, sir, her eyes.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you recall the exact words? ” asked McKelvie, ignoring my frown.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you recog- nize this handkerchief? ” holding up a dainty lace- covered bit of cambric partly stained with blood.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you remember my saying that Lee's use of rose jacqueminot looked bad for him?
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you suppose it could have been in a former reincarnation? ” I asked him in all seriousness.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you suspect? ” He made no answer but took from his pocket the object which had fallen from the divan.
osu.32435058046913	“ Do you take me for a mere calculating machine without any human feelings and consideration for others?
osu.32435058046913	“ Does he strike you as the kind that would be gentle with his prisoners?
osu.32435058046913	“ For what purpose? ” asked the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Giving up the case when it's just becoming exciting?
osu.32435058046913	“ Has he a strong box? ” “ Yes, he has. ” “ May I examine its contents? ” inquired McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Has he a strong box? ” “ Yes, he has. ” “ May I examine its contents? ” inquired McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Has he seen you before? ” “ Doubtless.
osu.32435058046913	“ Have n’t you read the papers? ” I asked him.
osu.32435058046913	“ Have n’t you the wit to see that the inquest was in the hands of the police from the start?
osu.32435058046913	“ Have you also a duplicate key? ” “ No, I have no key.
osu.32435058046913	“ Have you any reason to suspect Mrs. Darwin other than the fact that she held the pistol in her hand? ” he asked after due deliberation.
osu.32435058046913	“ He also played on the market. ” “ A speculator, eh?
osu.32435058046913	“ He did n’t happen to mention that he was ruined, did he, on the afternoon of the seventh? ” insisted McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ He may have had good reasons for his act. ” “ What reasons could he possibly have? ” I said impatiently.
osu.32435058046913	“ He must have known it. ” “ Then why was he troubling himself to make a new will? ” I said, perplexed.
osu.32435058046913	“ He should know how to play fast and loose, eh?
osu.32435058046913	“ Hello, where the devil did you come from? ” he asked.
osu.32435058046913	“ Home? ” “ No, the Darwin Bank.
osu.32435058046913	“ How did I know she would come to the study?
osu.32435058046913	“ How do you know? ” “ I forgot to mention it last night, but when I first called on you I also went to the Yale Club.
osu.32435058046913	“ How long have you been in your present position, Annie? ” he asked, glancing at the sheet he held in his hand.
osu.32435058046913	“ How many more of these blooming things are we likely to run across anyway?
osu.32435058046913	“ I could n’t hear what they said — ” “ Then how did you know that they were quarreling about the letter? ” I asked.
osu.32435058046913	“ I doubt if there is anyone living here now. ” “ What about young Darwin? ” “ Lee?
osu.32435058046913	“ I doubt if there is anyone living here now. ” “ What about young Darwin? ” “ Lee?
osu.32435058046913	“ I gave him my hand, but not over- cordially as I said, suspiciously, “ How did you know I was here? ” He laughed, not at all put out.
osu.32435058046913	“ I say, Mr. Davies, ca n’t you give a fellow a few more details? ” he begged.
osu.32435058046913	“ I thought you were doing very well. ” “ As regards Grenville?
osu.32435058046913	“ I was asked to investigate, ” he said, “ and my aim, you know, is always to oblige. ” “ Whom?
osu.32435058046913	“ I?
osu.32435058046913	“ Is Miss Manning in? ” inquired McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is he away very much? ” “ Yes, quite a bit. ” “ Thank you, and you need not mention that I was asking about him.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is he the type to commit murder in cold- blood? ” “ No.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is it necessary to the investigation? ” I inquired, loth to reveal the family skeleton.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is it true that he removed his securities from Cun- ningham's office and used them to speculate with? ’ ” continued McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is that the reason that Sherlock Holmes is an egotist, sir? ” asked Jenkins suddenly.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is there any possibility of suicide? ” “ None at all, ” replied Dr. Haskins.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is there anything else I can offer you? ” “ No, thank you.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is there no one to stay with Mrs. Darwin? ” he inquired in a dissatisfied tone.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is this the man? ” He took a photograph from his pocket and handed it to her.
osu.32435058046913	“ Is this the man? ” McKelvie turned his flash on the picture.
osu.32435058046913	“ Look here, do you think I ’m lying to you? ” de- manded Lee Darwin, angrily.
osu.32435058046913	“ May I look inside this envelope? ” “ Surely.
osu.32435058046913	“ Miss Manning, have you ever seen this man be- fore? ” asked McKelvie when Lee was seated and Cora had turned toward us.
osu.32435058046913	“ Mistuh McKelvie? ” she repeated after me, parrot- like.
osu.32435058046913	“ My dear man, where are your reasoning powers?
osu.32435058046913	“ No, I had no idea it was as bad as that. ” “ What do you mean? ” asked McKelvie quickly.
osu.32435058046913	“ No, no, he would not dare again! ” “ What did he mean by weapon then? ” I inquired bluntly.
osu.32435058046913	“ No, suh, he ai n’t home, no, suh. ” “ Are you sure? ” I persisted, holding out the note; for I recalled Jenkins ’ remarks.
osu.32435058046913	“ No, ” he said quietly then, “ I do n’t think so. ” “ Do you believe she killed Darwin? ” I persisted.
osu.32435058046913	“ Nothing escapes you, does it? ” he sneered, then in a different tone, “ No, that money is mine.
osu.32435058046913	“ On what do I base that conclusion? ” he asked quietly.
osu.32435058046913	“ Quite. ” GOLD AND BLUE 227 “ And how much nearer to the solution have I car- ried you? ” Cunningham continued with great polite- IneSS.
osu.32435058046913	“ Ruth, do you think you could get that letter for me? ” I asked.
osu.32435058046913	“ Shall I telephone for a doctor, Mr. Davies?
osu.32435058046913	“ Shall I tell him, Carlton? ” she asked me, ignoring her counsel.
osu.32435058046913	“ She quarreled with him, you say?
osu.32435058046913	“ Shot?
osu.32435058046913	“ So much I learned when I first came here, and so I proceeded to make friends with Jane. ” “ Where to? ” I inquired, laughing.
osu.32435058046913	“ Speed her up a little, Mr. Davies. ” “ What new trail? ” I asked, obeying mechanically.
osu.32435058046913	“ Surely you are not of the opinion that he killed Darwin? ” “ Well, hardly, since he was n’t in the study when the crime was committed.
osu.32435058046913	“ Surely you do nt believe that he really quarreled with his uncle about Mrs. Darwin?
osu.32435058046913	“ Tell me, ” he said, “ do you believe it was cleverness or sheer bravado that made the criminal light the study with the door unlocked?
osu.32435058046913	“ The last of his securities?
osu.32435058046913	“ The only question to be solved was the one, Where was Darwin?
osu.32435058046913	“ The woman in the case?
osu.32435058046913	“ There is no hope of finding the body? ” I asked when I had recovered my mental balance.
osu.32435058046913	“ Was it —? ” I began.
osu.32435058046913	“ Was she gone five minutes? ” THE INQUEST 33 “ Nearer ten, sir, ” came the ready answer.
osu.32435058046913	“ Well, Mr. Ames? ” asked the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Well, how did he do it? ” I asked, unruffled.
osu.32435058046913	“ Well? ” I questioned, decidedly puzzled.
osu.32435058046913	“ Well? ” I said, as we descended the steps.
osu.32435058046913	“ Well? ” The coroner laid the two articles upon the table and bent a flashing look upon her.
osu.32435058046913	“ Were you making the bed that it took you ten minutes to fix it? ” inquired the coroner, sharply.
osu.32435058046913	“ What are you doing here at this time of night, Mr. Davies? ” he asked abruptly.
osu.32435058046913	“ What can I do for you? ” “ I wish to see Miss Manning, ” returned McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ What did he do after you promised silence? ” McKelvie took a turn around the room as he put the question.
osu.32435058046913	“ What do you know about him? ” I asked curiously.
osu.32435058046913	“ What do you make of this, McKelvie? ” I asked, returning the Sachet.
osu.32435058046913	“ What do you mean by putting such an indignity upon me? ” and he glared at McKelvie.
osu.32435058046913	“ What do you mean by that? ” he continued sharply.
osu.32435058046913	“ What do you mean? ” I asked coldly.
osu.32435058046913	“ What do you suppose Philip did with all that money? ” asked Mr. Trenton.
osu.32435058046913	“ What does he want? ” “ Shure an he says he's Lee Darwin, but Oi’m on to their little tricks.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it, Carlton? ” he asked fearfully.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it, Claude?
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it, Jenkins?
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it, Riley? ” asked the coroner in an annoyed tOne.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it, Ruth? ” I asked, more and more alarmed by all this secrecy coming on top of my own foolish fears.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it, a new clue? ” asked my partner curiously.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it? ” I demanded.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is it? ” I whispered.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is the meaning of all this? ” he inquired, but in a more subdued tone.
osu.32435058046913	“ What is? ” he asked coolly, although he knew ex- actly what I meant.
osu.32435058046913	“ What makes you certain he was standing when he was shot? ” inquired the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ What on earth were you doing in that bedroom? ” I inquired as we parted at McKelvie's door.
osu.32435058046913	“ What time is it, Jenkins? ” I asked, sitting up.
osu.32435058046913	“ What was the reason for young Trenton's removal from New York six months ago? ” he asked abruptly, turning toward me as he sealed the envelope.
osu.32435058046913	“ What was there for me to do, Carlton, but to acquiesce? ” she had ended with a sob.
osu.32435058046913	“ What you want, stranger? ” remarked the same voice again.
osu.32435058046913	“ What's the name of the man who told you about the suicide? ” “ Ben Kite. ”- “ Thank you, ” and he placed the bill in her hands.
osu.32435058046913	“ What? ” asked Orton inquisitively.
osu.32435058046913	“ When did you last see Mr. Darwin alive? ” “ Yesterday about six o'clock, sir.
osu.32435058046913	“ When you sent Mrs. Darwin into the study you were both aware, of course, of Mr. Darwin's presence in that room? ” “ No.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where did the second bullet go? ” “ By the way, McKelvie, where did it go? ” I inquired.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where did the second bullet go? ” “ By the way, McKelvie, where did it go? ” I inquired.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where did they come from? ” “ The blood- stained one was in Mr. Darwin's hand.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where did you find it? ” I asked eagerly, as he slipped it into his wallet.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where did you get that picture of Dick?
osu.32435058046913	“ Where do you discharge your duties? ” “ At his office in Broad Street.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where is her maid? ” “ She sleeps in the servants ’ wing, Dr. Haskins, ” replied Orton.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where were you at that particular time? ” “ On the stairs.
osu.32435058046913	“ Where's the diamond then? ” asked Jones.
osu.32435058046913	“ Who is Mr. McKelvie, Jen- kins? ” “ He is a gentleman, sir, who is interested in solving problems of crime.
osu.32435058046913	“ Who wants'i m? ” growled a coarse voice in answer.
osu.32435058046913	“ Whose did you think it was when I first held it up? ” Again Coroner Graves surprised me by his aStuteneSS.
osu.32435058046913	“ Why did Richard Trenton come to New York and then commit suicide? ” Jones went on.
osu.32435058046913	“ Why did you not light the study instead of groping in the dark? ” asked the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Why, how could I know what he was doing when I did not know he was at home? ” she asked naively.
osu.32435058046913	“ Will you answer me three questions? ” I inquired.
osu.32435058046913	“ Will you return at once with my chauffeur?
osu.32435058046913	“ Would it be asking too much to allow me to see my uncle's body? ” inquired the young man, pausing in the doorway.
osu.32435058046913	“ Would not the next morning have been ample time? ” caustically.
osu.32435058046913	“ Would you swear to that fact? ” repeated the coro- ner monotonously, taking no notice of the outbreak.
osu.32435058046913	“ Would you swear to that fact? ” went on the coro- ner inexorably.
osu.32435058046913	“ Yes, sir. ” “ Did you not think it odd that your mistress should send for Mr. Davies at that time of night? ” inquired the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ Yes, sir. ” “ What time do you usually lock up? ” “ When Mr. Darwin left the house for the evening, sir.
osu.32435058046913	“ You are Mr. Darwin's lawyer? ” asked the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ You are Mr. Darwin's secretary? ” the coroner was saying when I was once more cognizant of my sur- roundings.
osu.32435058046913	“ You are positive of this? ” said the coroner.
osu.32435058046913	“ You are sure that Mr. Darwin was alone at eleven- thirty? ” continued McKelvie, after a slight pause.
osu.32435058046913	“ You are sure? ” “ I do not know her, ” repeated Ruth firmly.
osu.32435058046913	“ You are sure? ” “ Positive.
osu.32435058046913	“ You could swear to that? ” asked McKelvie eagerly.
osu.32435058046913	“ You did not chance to see anyone when you ap- plied your eye to the key- hole? ” went on McKelvie, putting aside his conjectures.
osu.32435058046913	“ You have heard nothing from him since he left? ” “ No, sir, not a word, ” replied Carpe, slowly.
osu.32435058046913	“ You have news of Dick? ” I nodded, for I was unable to speak.
osu.32435058046913	“ You have no proof, my dear sir, no proof at all. ” “ Have n't I?
osu.32435058046913	“ You have notified the police? ” questioned Dr. Has- kins as we descended the stairs.
osu.32435058046913	“ You have some information to impart? ” broke in McKelvie briskly as we seated ourselves.
osu.32435058046913	“ You know of course that we do not make it a prac- tice to take up criminal cases? ” he said with indulgent kindliness.
osu.32435058046913	“ You know where she has gone? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435058046913	“ You mean he has only just died?
osu.32435058046913	“ You mean that he had already been shot when Ruth entered this room? ” I said slowly, hardly daring to believe that which I uttered.
osu.32435058046913	“ You really believe that, Ruth?
osu.32435058046913	“ You said that Mrs. Darwin entered the study to reclaim a paper which was of value to you, did you not? ” he inquired.
osu.32435058046913	“ You said that on the night of the seventh of Octo- 188 THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN ROOM ber, Miss Manning went away from here? ” McKelvie began.
osu.32435058046913	“ You saw and heard him at the inquest?
osu.32435058046913	“ You testified last night that you had heard the shot? ” remarked the coroner, changing the subject abruptly.
osu.32435058046913	“ You will be permitted to testify in her behalf? ” he inquired.
osu.32435058046913	“ You ’re not joking?
osu.32435058046913	“ Your honor, may I make a suggestion? ” Cunning- ham awoke suddenly to the exigencies of the situation.
osu.32435058046913	“ ‘ Dick?'
osu.32435058046913	“ ‘ No?
uc1.b4711428	'! t~|.1'3 ‘?
uc1.b4711428	, “ I want two thousand pounds as much as any man. ” “ Put your own name? ” “ Well — no, Bunny, I did n’t.
uc1.b4711428	108 Le Premier Pas “ ‘ Bad news, I ’m afraid? ’ said the manager, when at last I sat down at his table.
uc1.b4711428	119 The Amateur Cracksman “ ‘ While he gets through his window?
uc1.b4711428	57 The Amateur Cracksman “ What d’ye mean? ” he whispered with a hoarse oath.
uc1.b4711428	91 The Amateur Cracksman “ Who ’s this? ” he cried.
uc1.b4711428	A real desperate character — what?
uc1.b4711428	A relation who was a high ofiicial in one of the banks, who would finance me on my mere name — could anything be better?
uc1.b4711428	And before you could say] ack Robinson he had whipped out a whacking great revolver! ” “ Not at the table? ” “ At the table!
uc1.b4711428	And to Naples, too?
uc1.b4711428	Another chance at baccarat?
uc1.b4711428	At last I whispered: “ How on earth did you manage it? ” “ Purely by luck, ” said Raflies.
uc1.b4711428	B.? ” “ Where in hell did you get hold 0 ’ that? ” asked Rosenthall, with a rattle in his thick neck, meant for mirth.
uc1.b4711428	B.? ” “ Where in hell did you get hold 0 ’ that? ” asked Rosenthall, with a rattle in his thick neck, meant for mirth.
uc1.b4711428	But I wonder how the pro- fessors think of going to work?
uc1.b4711428	But do n’t you see?
uc1.b4711428	But speak to Sir Ber- nard I must, so will you write me one line to him on your card?
uc1.b4711428	But what of that, my good Bunny — what of that?
uc1.b4711428	But where?
uc1.b4711428	But — are n’t you frightened? ” Miss Melhuish giggled.
uc1.b4711428	Ca n’t you whistle for the police? ” “ Police be damned!
uc1.b4711428	Can you forgive me?
uc1.b4711428	Can you swim? ” “ A bit. ” “ Ten miles? ” “ Ten? ” I burst out laughing.
uc1.b4711428	Can you swim? ” “ A bit. ” “ Ten miles? ” “ Ten? ” I burst out laughing.
uc1.b4711428	Can you swim? ” “ A bit. ” “ Ten miles? ” “ Ten? ” I burst out laughing.
uc1.b4711428	Captain, we ca n’t escape; surely you could hush it up for the night?
uc1.b4711428	Did it look like a first attempt?
uc1.b4711428	Did you hear about the Thimbleby diamonds?
uc1.b4711428	Did you see his eye?
uc1.b4711428	Do you put yourself in my hands or do you not?
uc1.b4711428	Do you remember when I met you fel- lows?
uc1.b4711428	Do you seriously think he would sit there and knowingly watch his man playing pool under his nose?
uc1.b4711428	Does the painter paint for bread alone?
uc1.b4711428	Does the writer only write when the wolf is at the door?
uc1.b4711428	Eh, Bunny?
uc1.b4711428	En- gaged?
uc1.b4711428	Estelle bien? ” “ Oui, milor.
uc1.b4711428	Gentlemen and Players, if you recollect? ” “ I do n’t forget it. ” “ Seeing that you never got an innings, so to speak, I thought you might.
uc1.b4711428	Had he been following Rosenthall ’s example?
uc1.b4711428	He would return to his rooms, put Crawshay on his guard, and — stow him away?
uc1.b4711428	He ’s armed, is n’t he?
uc1.b4711428	Her people are Ger- man, she has been to school in Dresden, and is on her way out alone. ” “ Money? ” I inquired.
uc1.b4711428	How am I to sit here and believe that? ” “ Did I refuse to believe it of you? ” he returned, 8 The Ides of March smiling.
uc1.b4711428	How am I to sit here and believe that? ” “ Did I refuse to believe it of you? ” he returned, 8 The Ides of March smiling.
uc1.b4711428	How long a rope, my lad? ” “ Quite short.
uc1.b4711428	How the deuce did you get in? ” “ Never you mind, ” said Crawshay, loosening his collar; “ let ’s talk about how I ’m to get out.
uc1.b4711428	How was I to know you had any- thing on? ” 213 The Amateur Cracksman I had turned the tables with some effect.
uc1.b4711428	Human nature was a board of checkers; why not reconcile one ’s self to alternate black and white?
uc1.b4711428	I am not so virtuous as all that. ” Was it my imagination, or did Ralfles look slightly ashamed?
uc1.b4711428	I ask you, was there ever a better get- out?
uc1.b4711428	I could n’t help remembering how 50 The Amateur Cracksman “ Illicit Diamond Buyer? ” “ Exactly.
uc1.b4711428	I did. ” “ And you wish us to steal this picture? ” It was magnificently said; the lawyer flushed from his hair to his collar.
uc1.b4711428	I hope to catch the 9-ss- ” “ But surely I can see you again this after- noon? ” I cried in a ferment, for his hand was on the door.
uc1.b4711428	I only wonder if you ’ll like the life as much as I do! ” “ Like it? ” I cried out.
uc1.b4711428	I really ought n’t to tell you at all! ” 77 The Amateur Cracksman “ But what is there to tell? ” I whispered with satisfactory impatience.
uc1.b4711428	I suppose you ca n’t swim un- der water at all? ” I did not answer his question.
uc1.b4711428	I suppose you ’re a horseman? ’ “ ‘ Yes. ’ “ ‘ Then I should certainly ride all the way.
uc1.b4711428	I take it you would n’t have refused your share if the boodle had fallen to us?
uc1.b4711428	I thought I had when I came up to you this evening; but when I looked out of your window — you remember?
uc1.b4711428	I thought they paid so well?
uc1.b4711428	I told you about the forest of dead gums?
uc1.b4711428	I was n’t in long afore you. ” “ And you wo n’t tell me how you got in? ” “ Wot ’s the use?
uc1.b4711428	I was n’t in long afore you. ” “ And you wo n’t tell me how you got in? ” “ Wot ’s the use?
uc1.b4711428	I wish I had time to ride with you. ’ “ ‘ But where can I get a horse? ’ “ The doctor thought a moment.
uc1.b4711428	I wonder if they ’ve really got an accomplice in the house?
uc1.b4711428	I wonder if you ’re like that now? ” “ I do n’t know, ” said I, slightly puzzled by his tone.
uc1.b4711428	I ’ve never had those sensations, and I do n’t suppose I ever shall. ” “ But this much you have done before? ” said I hoarsely.
uc1.b4711428	If the three of us were caught here now, do you know what those conse- quences would be?
uc1.b4711428	In all these years how many blows have you known me to strike?
uc1.b4711428	Is n’t it great?
uc1.b4711428	It must be done at Genoa or not at all. ” “ On land? ” “ No, on board, to- morrow night.
uc1.b4711428	It ’s quite true that Danby is a friend of mine. ” “ Danby? ” I9 The Ides of March leave it to me.
uc1.b4711428	Lowered the jewel- case out of the window, did he?
uc1.b4711428	Mind touching that bell?
uc1.b4711428	Must you and 40 A Costume Piece I be driven to crime like Tom of Bow and Dick of Whitechapel?
uc1.b4711428	Must you have his name too?
uc1.b4711428	My answer cost me five bob; but then I prepaid another. ” “ You do n’t mean to say that you ’ve applied? ” “ Rather, ” said Raflles.
uc1.b4711428	My dear sir, 111 The Amateur Cracksman do you expect your bank robber to let you reach for your gun in the place where he knows it ’s kept?
uc1.b4711428	None the less we must have that money to- night — by hook or crook. ” “ To- night, Raliles? ” “ The sooner the better.
uc1.b4711428	Now, Mackenzie, let ’s see your warrant! ” “ Ye’ll no mishandle it? ” “ What good would that do me?
uc1.b4711428	Now, Mackenzie, let ’s see your warrant! ” “ Ye’ll no mishandle it? ” “ What good would that do me?
uc1.b4711428	Of course I have done it before. ” “ Often? ” “ Well — no!
uc1.b4711428	Once is enough! ” 33 The Amateur Cracksman “ You would n’t give me a hand another time? ” “ Do n’t ask me, Raflles.
uc1.b4711428	Plucky smart you thought yer- self, did n’t you?
uc1.b4711428	Remember it, Bunny?
uc1.b4711428	Suppose you know what he came to see me about?
uc1.b4711428	Surely he was not going into the Albany like that?
uc1.b4711428	Surely that entitles him, at all events, to see any fun that ’s going?
uc1.b4711428	That reminds me that I never paid for them; but, by Jove, I will to- morrow, and if that is n’t poetic justice, what is?
uc1.b4711428	That ’s to say, if you ’re really on? ” “ Of course I am, ” I replied indignantly.
uc1.b4711428	The florid, over- dressed chap who I told you was one of the cleverest thieves in town? ” “ I remember him.
uc1.b4711428	Then why was Raflies going to desert us all?
uc1.b4711428	Theory, my dear Bunny?
uc1.b4711428	Was it possible to be entirely honest?
uc1.b4711428	What do you think of that, eh? ” “ I havena the parteeculars, ” replied the Scot.
uc1.b4711428	What does it matter now?
uc1.b4711428	What have I done? ” The unhappy wretch came out into the light with bloodshot, 142 Wilful Murder blinking eyes, and a bloody shirt- front.
uc1.b4711428	What hermit were we going to startle in his cell?
uc1.b4711428	What makes you think so?
uc1.b4711428	What more could we do? ” I exclaimed in soft derision, looking round, however, to make sure that we were not overheard.
uc1.b4711428	What the devil was I to do?
uc1.b4711428	What was the meaning of this insane promise?
uc1.b4711428	What would be the good?
uc1.b4711428	What ’s happened to you?
uc1.b4711428	What ’s he here for?
uc1.b4711428	What ’s it all mean? ” “ We may tell you that, when you tell us what in God ’s name you ’ve done, Rutter! ” “ Done?
uc1.b4711428	What ’s it all mean? ” “ We may tell you that, when you tell us what in God ’s name you ’ve done, Rutter! ” “ Done?
uc1.b4711428	What ’s it mean, Raflles?
uc1.b4711428	What ’s the satisfaction of taking a man ’s wicket when you want his spoons?
uc1.b4711428	Where was he caught? ” I had no idea.
uc1.b4711428	Where ’s Crowley? ” “ Here I am, ” called a breathless voice.
uc1.b4711428	Whiskey?
uc1.b4711428	Who knows?
uc1.b4711428	Why de- sire to be all one thing or all the other, like our forefathers on the stage or in the old- fashioned fiction?
uc1.b4711428	Why not come down to Esher yourself by the last train?
uc1.b4711428	Why settle down to some humdrum uncongenial billet, when excitement, romance, dan- ger and a decent living were all going begging together?
uc1.b4711428	Why should I tell him?
uc1.b4711428	Why should I work when I could steal?
uc1.b4711428	Why should n’t we watch the house together? ” “ Because two eyes are as good as four and take up less room.
uc1.b4711428	Will you come round now? ” “ With pleasure, ” says Rafiies.
uc1.b4711428	Will you stand aside, or d’ye want it yourself? ” “ You ’re drunk, ” said Purvis, still between us.
uc1.b4711428	Would this stranger be open to persuasion — if I told him the truth?
uc1.b4711428	Yet I ’m not sure, Bunny, but we ’re doing the thing by halves ourselves! ”, “ Why?
uc1.b4711428	Yet — you saw old Lady Melrose ’s neck- lace?
uc1.b4711428	You do n’t think you were seen? ” “ I do n’t think it, sir. ” “ Well, let ’s hope you are right.
uc1.b4711428	You need n’t use that hand. ’ “ ‘ Ca n’t I go by train? ’ “ ‘ You can and you ca n’t.
uc1.b4711428	You remember the fellow we saw in the inn?
uc1.b4711428	You speak of ‘ another chance. ’ What do you mean?
uc1.b4711428	You talk as though we were sitting in a club; do n’t you know it ’s one o’clock in the morning, and the lights on, and a dead man down below?
uc1.b4711428	You think the luck must turn; sup- pose it did n’t?
uc1.b4711428	You want me to join you, I suppose?
uc1.b4711428	You would stick at nothing for a pal — what? ” “ At nothing in this world, ” I was pleased to cry.
uc1.b4711428	and she promptly told you? ” “ Nothing of the kind.
uc1.b4711428	before you left?
uc1.b4711428	so they are being watched? ” “ Yes, by a detective who is down here on pur- pose.
uc1.b4711428	would anything be gained?
uc1.b4711428	z. ‘_ I<3 am<;:? s1S MAN_--.-_._.___.-______-___.-__-__.
uc1.b4711428	‘ Did old Debenham admit the sale? ’ says he; and when I said he had he chuckled to himself for about five minutes.
uc1.b4711428	“ After that, ” said Raflies, taking it, “ what am Irto say?
uc1.b4711428	“ All right? ” I asked him.
uc1.b4711428	“ And are you coming in this ship?
uc1.b4711428	“ And do you suppose I should be keen on it if we had n’t? ” cried Raflies.
uc1.b4711428	“ And how do you mean to tackle this thing? ” “ Prise it up with the jointed jimmy.
uc1.b4711428	“ And what ’s to become o ’ me? ” he cried out with an oath.
uc1.b4711428	“ Baird? ” I faltered, moistening my lips with my tongue.
uc1.b4711428	“ Before?
uc1.b4711428	“ Bunny, you ’ve had your wind bagged at footer, I daresay; you know what that ’s like?
uc1.b4711428	“ But is he the chap we have to deal with?
uc1.b4711428	“ But look here, what do you mean? ” said I.
uc1.b4711428	“ But on our beam- ends we are; we would do a good deal for a( thousand pounds apiece, eh, Bunny? ” “ Anything, ” I murmured.
uc1.b4711428	“ But what about this escape of the leader of the gang, that fellow Crawshay?
uc1.b4711428	“ But what is it all?
uc1.b4711428	“ But why should I give you a week?
uc1.b4711428	“ But you respect the law? ” The black eyes gleamed shrewdly.
uc1.b4711428	“ Can it be a coincidence-—is it somebody else he ’s after? ” Raflles shook his head.
uc1.b4711428	“ Coming after all? ” “ Rather! ” “ Take care, then; the place is all bell- wires and springs.
uc1.b4711428	“ Did I put this into your head, or were you going to do it in any case? ” “ Not in any case, ” said Rafiles.
uc1.b4711428	“ Did n’t you? ” “ I thought I heard three. ” And out we dashed into the darkness.
uc1.b4711428	“ Did the mare carry you all the way back to Melbourne? ” “ Every rod, pole or perch!
uc1.b4711428	“ Dis- guises?
uc1.b4711428	“ Do you remember how we used to break into the studies at school?
uc1.b4711428	“ Do you think he ’s on Crawshay ’s track? ” “ I do n’t know.
uc1.b4711428	“ Eh? ” Rosenthall ’s revolvers were describing widening orbits.
uc1.b4711428	“ Forgotten something? ” said he,,when he saw'me on his mat.
uc1.b4711428	“ Have you got the pluck? ” said he, breaking the spell in a tone so cynical that it brought my last drop of blood to the boil.
uc1.b4711428	“ Have you killed him? ” asked Raflies sar- donically.
uc1.b4711428	“ He ’s got a bullet in him somewhere. ” “ Is he alive? ” “ Barely. ” “ Good God!
uc1.b4711428	“ How did you know she was one? ” he cried.
uc1.b4711428	“ How did you manage it? ” inquired Sir Ber- nard Debenham.
uc1.b4711428	“ How do you know? ” “ Because you ’ll probably show me the door, ” I cried bitterly; “ and you will be justified in doing it!
uc1.b4711428	“ How?
uc1.b4711428	“ I daresay you wonder what I ’ve been thinking about all this time? ” said he.
uc1.b4711428	“ I saw him go into the captain ’s cabin twentyminutes ago. ” “ But what can have brought him? ” I cried mis- erably.
uc1.b4711428	“ I suppose they pay you pretty well for these, eh? ” “ Not a penny. ” “ Nonsense, Bunny!
uc1.b4711428	“ I ’ve got it! ” “ Got what? ” he asked me, stepping back.
uc1.b4711428	“ In the eleven? ” said Lord Amersteth.
uc1.b4711428	“ It ’ll be an hour ’s work to get through that! ” “ Ca n’t you pick it? ” “ N o. I know these locks.
uc1.b4711428	“ Looks pretty fresh for an Old Master, does n’t she? ” said Raffles.
uc1.b4711428	“ Mais comment est Madame la Marquise?
uc1.b4711428	“ May I ask how you come to know so much about it? ” “ It ’s papa, ” was the confidential reply.
uc1.b4711428	“ May I ask what you gentlemen want? ” said he.
uc1.b4711428	“ Money I would have — but how — but how?
uc1.b4711428	“ Necessity, my dear Bunny?
uc1.b4711428	“ Not come back for your revenge, have you?
uc1.b4711428	“ Not even at a crime? ” said Raflies, smiling.
uc1.b4711428	“ Now what? ” I whispered, trembling with ex- citement.
uc1.b4711428	“ Now, will you let me pass or shall I do it here? ” The barrel touched my temple, and my thumb the trigger.
uc1.b4711428	“ Of course, ” I added, “ it was the fellow'we saw in the inn this afternoon. ” “ The detective? ” said Raflles.
uc1.b4711428	“ Said there were more of them below. ” 9 ° Gentlemen and Players “ Why the devil could n’t you tell us so before?"
uc1.b4711428	“ Say? ” cried Raflles.
uc1.b4711428	“ Seen anything of him?
uc1.b4711428	“ Shall I tell you how it happened? ” he went pas- sionately on.
uc1.b4711428	“ She ’s the only one, then! ” “ What made Mackenzie- Clephane — bolt? ” young Crowley asked me.
uc1.b4711428	“ So the fair Australian has been playing Deli- lah? ” said I.
uc1.b4711428	“ So you saw my name in the list of passengers and came in search of me?
uc1.b4711428	“ So you think of having a try for his diamonds yourself? ” He shrugged his shoulders.
uc1.b4711428	“ So you thought something had happened? ” said Raflles, leaning back in my chair as he lit a cigarette, and looking much amused.
uc1.b4711428	“ So you ’re Mr. Raflles ’s friend? ” said he, over- hauling me rather rudely with his light small eyes.
uc1.b4711428	“ So you ’re the scoundrel, are you?
uc1.b4711428	“ Spit it out, or, by Christmas, I ’ll drill you! ” “ Whort price thet brikewater? ” drawled Raffles coolly.
uc1.b4711428	“ Surely, ” said I, “ we shall find him in bed and asleep? ” “ I hope we do, ” said Ralfles grimly.
uc1.b4711428	“ The picture! ” “ W hat? ” “ The picture.
uc1.b4711428	“ The police? ” I whispered aghast.
uc1.b4711428	“ Then you have a flat somewhere? ” he went on.
uc1.b4711428	“ Then you mean to break in? ” “ What else did you think? ” I had not thought about it at all; the ultimate crime had monopolized my mind.
uc1.b4711428	“ Then you mean to break in? ” “ What else did you think? ” I had not thought about it at all; the ultimate crime had monopolized my mind.
uc1.b4711428	“ Thought you were bosom pals? ” said he, with( as I imagined) a gleam of suspicion in his crafty little eyes.
uc1.b4711428	“ To interfere? ” said Rallies.
uc1.b4711428	“ Well, Bunny, ” said Raflies, “ so the professors have it, eh? ” “ Yes, ” said I.
uc1.b4711428	“ Well, ” I said, “ it was n’t for Miss Werner you wanted us to play strangers, was it?
uc1.b4711428	“ Well? ” said Rallies.
uc1.b4711428	“ Wha ’ do I care?
uc1.b4711428	“ What are you thinking of? ” I whispered savagely.
uc1.b4711428	“ What do you think? ” said he.
uc1.b4711428	“ What now? ” cried Mackenzie.
uc1.b4711428	“ What on earth ’s happened? ” “ It ’s Clephane, ” said a man who knelt over him.
uc1.b4711428	“ What rotten trick are you going to play? ” “ It ’s played, ” he answered, with his quiet laugh.
uc1.b4711428	“ What the devil ’s all this? ” asked Lord Amer- steth, blinking.
uc1.b4711428	“ What time have I to be there? ” I asked him, with a groan.
uc1.b4711428	“ What would you say if something had?
uc1.b4711428	“ What you really want is a sea voyage. ” “ And a winter at St. Moritz, or do you recom- mend Cannes or Cairo?
uc1.b4711428	“ What ’s that? ” said Raflles, as something crunched beneath his feet on the very threshold.
uc1.b4711428	“ What ’s the use? ” 239 The Gift of the Emperor “ Captain, I ’ve done a worse thing aboard your ship than any of you know.
uc1.b4711428	“ What ’s this? ” I gasped.
uc1.b4711428	“ Where are you going? ” said he.
uc1.b4711428	“ Where have you brought me? ” I cried.
uc1.b4711428	“ Where have you sprung from? ” I stammered something as he pinched my hand.
uc1.b4711428	“ Who has seen them? ” I then asked calmly.
uc1.b4711428	“ Who was it? ” “ The last man we want to see!
uc1.b4711428	“ Who was that ran downstairs? ” “ Mac — Clephane! ” said I hastily.
uc1.b4711428	“ Why Bunny?"
uc1.b4711428	“ Why did I leave the bank first?
uc1.b4711428	“ Why do you start? ” “ I was thinking of it too. ” He smiled, as though he had read my thoughts.
uc1.b4711428	“ Why should 233 The Amateur Cracksman he be after you?
uc1.b4711428	“ Why should the worst come to the worst? ” I whispered.
uc1.b4711428	“ Why, what do you mean to do? ” “ The trick, ” said Rafiies.
uc1.b4711428	“ Will you let me pass? ” “ Not until you tell me where you are going and what you mean to do. ” “ Ca n’t you guess? ” I cried.
uc1.b4711428	“ Will you let me pass? ” “ Not until you tell me where you are going and what you mean to do. ” “ Ca n’t you guess? ” I cried.
uc1.b4711428	“ Wull that do for ye? ” inquired Mackenzie.
uc1.b4711428	“ Yes, in Mount Street. ” “ Well, what about the furniture? ” I laughed aloud in my misery.
uc1.b4711428	“ You do in your present mood; but who 9 The Amateur Cracksman can back his mood to last?
uc1.b4711428	“ You do n’t mean tp say you ’ve written for pay- ment already? ” No; it was the last thing I had intended to admit.
uc1.b4711428	“ You hard up?
uc1.b4711428	“ You remem- ber the pearl you were so keen about, Bunny, the emperor ’s pearl, the pearl money would n’t buy?
uc1.b4711428	“ You remember Milchester, Bunny, old boy? ” His tone was as bland as mine was grim when I answered that I did.
uc1.b4711428	“ You seize the situation, Bunny?
uc1.b4711428	“ You will be seeing me again, sir, at Marylebone. ” “ Shall I come now? ” 62 A Costume Piece “ As you please, sir.
uc1.b4711428	“ You? ” I vociferated.

uc1.b4711428	“ ‘ Been an accident? ’ said I, reining up.
uc1.b4711428	“ ‘ Under the counter eh? ’ I was ass enough to say.

uiug.30112084417283	Come, will you join us? ” I did notg'ndge it wise to reject the proposition: and without reflecting on the consequences, I answered as he wished.
uiug.30112084417283	Did I dream, then, or had I dreamt the previous evening?
uiug.30112084417283	Did he wish me to play some- part in an intrigue of any kind?

uiug.30112084417283	It may be asked, what the guards were about during the commission of this ofi'ence?
uiug.30112084417283	It was evident that the seamstress had denounced me, but for what?
uiug.30112084417283	It was soon known that I was no longer in the prison; but how then could I have escaped?
uiug.30112084417283	It was then but too clear to me, as the broker had said, “ my business had soon been done. ” I was greatlyenraged, but what did that avail me?
uiug.30112084417283	It would be easy to assert that I was wherever a multitude assembled; but what would be the fair inference?
uiug.30112084417283	It would seem that he had no 0bjection,—but could he leave his post?
uiug.30112084417283	M. Nivet, do you want to skin us alive?
uiug.30112084417283	Might I not be conside- red as a spy, and be shot as such?

uiug.30112084417283	Seven half- glasses, that is very fine; but how do you make it out, when there were only six of us?
uiug.30112084417283	Shall I. confess that I felt a sentiment 0 joy, and yet I trembled?
uiug.30112084417283	Shall we substitute for an institution so noble, so admirable, a changeable police, whose num-'bers can be extended orcurtailed at pleasure?

uiug.30112084417283	“ And'as to the wenches, what must we do with them? ” said I to Dufailli.

uc1.b4083049	And was Belle as charming as ever?
uc1.b4083049	Are you armed? ” he asked. uc1.b4083049 Are you making a formal afternoon call, Ben? ” she asked in her cool, mocking voice.
uc1.b4083049	Are you ready for the question?
uc1.b4083049	Are you really going to sing at the Firemen's Ball?
uc1.b4083049	Belle?
uc1.b4083049	But what good does that do me?
uc1.b4083049	Dear lady, whom? uc1.b4083049 Do n't you suppose you could do without?"
uc1.b4083049	Do n't you think it a good idea? ” “ Oh, I do n't know,said Nan, but her voice had a little edge.
uc1.b4083049	Do you know Mrs. Sherwood? ” he asked, merely to say something. uc1.b4083049 Endorse them?
uc1.b4083049	Have n't you always had all you wanted, Patsy?
uc1.b4083049	Have you a small vessel ready for immediate service? ” he asked this man. uc1.b4083049 Have you met any of the people of the place? ” she shifted suddenly.
uc1.b4083049	He's the owner of this place. ” “ A gambler? ” cried Keith, a trifle dashed. uc1.b4083049 How much is it?"
uc1.b4083049	How's the wild Injin this morning? uc1.b4083049 I suppose he's around here?
uc1.b4083049	Is it not true? ” he asked finally. uc1.b4083049 It may be, sir, that you favour the piano- box type of the sort made by Smith or Van Ness? ” he inquired politely.
uc1.b4083049	Me? ” observed Bennett, surprised. uc1.b4083049 Noon?"
uc1.b4083049	Nor with my friend yonder?
uc1.b4083049	Shall we dance?
uc1.b4083049	Suppose Keith follows them out to Jake's? ” she suggested. uc1.b4083049 Then what, in heaven's name, is it?"
uc1.b4083049	Were n't they nice people, ” cried Nan, “ and was n't it an adventure? uc1.b4083049 Were n't you in the jail guard?"
uc1.b4083049	What is Mr. Palmer going to do about it?
uc1.b4083049	What is your impelling motive? ” asked the judge. uc1.b4083049 What more do you want? ” inquired Neil in amused tones.
uc1.b4083049	What's what all about, Nan, dear? ” asked Sally Warner in her most vivacious manner. uc1.b4083049 Where is he?"
uc1.b4083049	Which side are you on, anyway? ” she asked abruptly and a little harshly. uc1.b4083049 Why are you acting in this manner?
uc1.b4083049	'SI again?"
uc1.b4083049	10 THE GRAY DAWN “ And what good would it do to'get after'Morrell?"
uc1.b4083049	233 234 THE GRAY DAWN"I suppose you know what this means? ” he threatened, an ugly note in his quiet voice.
uc1.b4083049	A gay life is all very well- “ Gay? ” he interrupted, then caught himself.
uc1.b4083049	A little cold imp sat in the back of Keith's brain and criticised sardonically: Why will big women persist in being kittenish?
uc1.b4083049	A single man can do something then a single child! ” “ What will happen then?"
uc1.b4083049	After a moment she asked in a quick, stifled voice: “ What do you mean? ”.
uc1.b4083049	After a time, as Keith still waited, he growled: “ What is it?"
uc1.b4083049	Ai n't that right, Cal?
uc1.b4083049	All right now? ” But Nan was inclined to be a little vexed and reproachful.
uc1.b4083049	Am I not right, Coleman? ” Coleman smiled sardonically, lifting his blue- black moustache.
uc1.b4083049	And answer me this: is n't it just a scheme to cheat me of my interest?
uc1.b4083049	And by whom?
uc1.b4083049	And is n't he just the dearest, cutest little thing?
uc1.b4083049	And we were n't married for quite a long time afterward. ” “ We got married as soon as we could, did n't we? ” he cried indignantly.
uc1.b4083049	And what difference did it make, anyway? ” THE GRAY DAWN 11 “ Now do n't get all worked up, ” she chided.
uc1.b4083049	Are n't you a little ashamed?"
uc1.b4083049	Are we invited out this evening? ”"The Thurstons'musicale.
uc1.b4083049	Are you attending to your business yourself, even decently?
uc1.b4083049	Are you playing fair all around?
uc1.b4083049	As far as anybody knows, he has n't taken sides at all. ” “ Will you see him?"
uc1.b4083049	At last some one spoke up: “ Where are Casey and Cora? ” he asked.
uc1.b4083049	Ben Sansome? ” “ Yes, Ben Sansome."
uc1.b4083049	But I want to know what our resources are before I plan my campaign. ”"Going in up to your neck, are you? ” he commented ruefully.
uc1.b4083049	But what is it you actually wish to accomplish? ”.
uc1.b4083049	Ca n't you send a note around to Ben and see if he ca n't get you there and back? ” This came to be a regular thing.
uc1.b4083049	Can you tell me how much water lots are worth? ” “ Five to eight thousand for fifty varas."
uc1.b4083049	Did he bore you, Sally? ”.
uc1.b4083049	Did he still expect that the boastful promises of his friends would be fulfilled, did he still hope for rescue?
uc1.b4083049	Did you go to that fair or bazaar thing yesterday? ” She smiled with her lips, but her eyes darkened.
uc1.b4083049	Do n't you adore flowers? ” “ No, I do n't believe I do, ” replied Keith bluntly.
uc1.b4083049	Do n't you agree with me, Mrs. Keith? ” THE GRAY DAWN 109"I'll sing it, if you will play my accompaniment, ” said Keith.
uc1.b4083049	Do n't you know it? ” 144 THE GRAY DAWN Keith stiffened to an extreme formality.
uc1.b4083049	Do n't you see?"
uc1.b4083049	Do n't you suppose I'd have said something if I had thought you were doing anything wrong?
uc1.b4083049	Do they do it?
uc1.b4083049	Do you feel aggrieved in any way- personally?"
uc1.b4083049	Do you realize he waited here over six hours for you to come in?".
uc1.b4083049	Do you remember that Firemen's Ball when you started in to break up that Keith- Morrell affair?
uc1.b4083049	Do you think he'll strangle himself? ” Keith looked out the window.
uc1.b4083049	Do you want to try that? ” “ Of course I want to try it! ” cried Jones.
uc1.b4083049	Each company represents something dif- ferent, a different class of men. ” “ Which would you advise? ” asked Keith seriously.
uc1.b4083049	Everybody's talking. ” “ Who is everybody? ” she asked very quietly.
uc1.b4083049	Everything all right?"
uc1.b4083049	First, would the Morrells carry out the implied threat?
uc1.b4083049	For this loan, what security? ”.
uc1.b4083049	For what?
uc1.b4083049	Give her a week. ” “ That's all very well, ” objected Sansome, whose eyes were shining, “ but how about that week?
uc1.b4083049	Habla usted Español? ”.
uc1.b4083049	Have n't you always been respectable?
uc1.b4083049	Have you any connections in town at all? ” “ Well, I've met quite a few people about town, and I have some letters."
uc1.b4083049	Have you anything to suggest doing this morning, instead of Yet Lee's? ” She turned away from him toward the door leading into another room.
uc1.b4083049	He personally guarantees a fair and speedy trial. ” “ What did you tell him? ” demanded Hossfros.
uc1.b4083049	Here we've pulled up all our 34 THE GRAY DAWN roots, have n't we, Nan?
uc1.b4083049	His quick mind visualized a hundred possibilities- suppose he had gone on Durkee's expedition?
uc1.b4083049	How could it logically be otherwise?
uc1.b4083049	How did you do it?"
uc1.b4083049	How richor poor are we going to be? ” “ We'll be rich enough. ” “ Very?"
uc1.b4083049	How richor poor are we going to be? ” “ We'll be rich enough. ” “ Very?"
uc1.b4083049	I adore music, and I can always tell. ” 72 THE GRAY DAWN “ Do you sing, too?"
uc1.b4083049	I got a good cash purchase price. ” “ How much can I spend a year?"
uc1.b4083049	I may see him? ”.
uc1.b4083049	I never saw him before. ” “ Do n't you know him?
uc1.b4083049	I will arrange for witnesses. ” “ Where does the money come in?"
uc1.b4083049	I'll have a cocktail. ” “ That so?
uc1.b4083049	I'm curious. ” “ Why should n't I? ” demanded Keith.
uc1.b4083049	I'm just in the mood. ” “ Do you know the ‘ Bedouin Love Song? ” ” he inquired.
uc1.b4083049	If you'll leave Wing and me entirely alone we'll be ready to move in to- morrow. ” “ Where's Gringo?"
uc1.b4083049	In other words, no strong- arm work; do you understand? ” The man mumbled and growled something.
uc1.b4083049	Is it not so? ” “ I believe you're right, ” said Keith, impressed.
uc1.b4083049	Is n't it lucky we're neighbours?
uc1.b4083049	Is n't it true?
uc1.b4083049	Is n't this glori- ous sunshine? ” she greeted him.
uc1.b4083049	Is that agreed? ”; A roar of assent answered him.
uc1.b4083049	Is that plain enough? ” shouted Keith.
uc1.b4083049	Is that your opinion, Colonel Baker? ”.
uc1.b4083049	It does not matter, does it?
uc1.b4083049	Keith will be kept out of the way. ” “ And after? ” “ You hint of an assignation.
uc1.b4083049	Let me pour it for you- with my own hands- aren't you flattered? ” She smiled across at him.
uc1.b4083049	Morrell all right? ” asked Keith, to change the subject.
uc1.b4083049	Morrell is an amusing type, do n't you think?
uc1.b4083049	Mrs. Phelan offered to take me to her milliner! ” or “ You know Wilkins — the furniture man where we got the big armchair?
uc1.b4083049	Nan would not under- stand it a bit- why should she?
uc1.b4083049	Now do n't you think I'm a pretty good sort? ”"Indeed I do!
uc1.b4083049	Now, what is the scheme?"
uc1.b4083049	Of course, Milton did not realize- but what was there for her?
uc1.b4083049	On the way Keith said: “ Look here, Nan; do you suppose you and Wing can get on all right this morning?
uc1.b4083049	On your honour, do you expect me to believe that yarn? ”"Well, ” said Webb, gazing again at his cigar end,"no- really I do n't.
uc1.b4083049	Only you told me so suddenly- ” “ Do n't you want me to sell? ” he asked, utterly bewildered.
uc1.b4083049	Open it, will you, dear?
uc1.b4083049	Otherwise"“ Got anybody in mind? ” asked the practical Black.
uc1.b4083049	Our altars to the gods of chance?
uc1.b4083049	Our bowers of the Cyprians?".
uc1.b4083049	Second, would a denial avail against their story?
uc1.b4083049	Seen Mrs. Keith? ” “ No.
uc1.b4083049	Some of the people you go with are not especially good for you- do you think so? ” “ Good for me? ” he laughed bitterly.
uc1.b4083049	Some of the people you go with are not especially good for you- do you think so? ” “ Good for me? ” he laughed bitterly.
uc1.b4083049	Suppose Mex Ryan had not happened to remember his name?
uc1.b4083049	Suppose Mrs. Sherwood and Krafft had not found him?
uc1.b4083049	Suppose they had been an hour later?
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN 105 “ Anything I can do?"
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN 137 “ Is n't she simply stunning? ” cried Keith.
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN 201 “ Getting on? ” pursued Krafft.
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN 349 “ If you're sure of that one essential little fact, and you really want her, why do n't you take her?".
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN 73 “ Why did you come out here, anyway? ” she asked him.
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN “ Come on, ai n't you got that valuable paper folded up yet? ” rumbled Webb to Sherwood.
uc1.b4083049	THE GRAY DAWN"Want something, Patsy? ” he inquired.
uc1.b4083049	Tell me?
uc1.b4083049	Ten minutes later she asked him: “ What are you going to do, yourself, Jack?
uc1.b4083049	That must be where the Jenny Lind Theatre stood- before the fire- just opposite?
uc1.b4083049	That this is a ball- room and that all San Francisco is present is a mere detail. ” “ How did you break it up? ” asked Sherwood curiously.
uc1.b4083049	The common tricks would not appeal to you, except in idleness; is it not so? ” She smiled up at him, a little sidewise.
uc1.b4083049	Then perhaps you've forgotten that I sat on lookout for some of your games in the early days in the mining camps? ”.
uc1.b4083049	There ai n't nobody in it with me for making any witness watertight. ” “ How many witnesses?"
uc1.b4083049	They do n't guarantee I can sell the bonds at par, do they?
uc1.b4083049	They run it out any way it comes; and roll it up anyhow, instead of doing a proper job. ” “ How should you do it?"
uc1.b4083049	This is a day of rest, and we've earned it. ” “ Where?"
uc1.b4083049	War, then, is the cry, is it?
uc1.b4083049	Was Teeny McFarlane as gay as she appeared?
uc1.b4083049	Was she losing him?
uc1.b4083049	Was this a mob?
uc1.b4083049	What about the prisoners in the jail? ” asked Johnson anxiously.
uc1.b4083049	What are they talking about?"
uc1.b4083049	What are we coming to?
uc1.b4083049	What are you going to do about it?"
uc1.b4083049	What are you talking about?
uc1.b4083049	What can I spend? ”.
uc1.b4083049	What did you do such a thing for? ” 374 THE GRAY DAWN 377 “ Well, let's sit down, ” she agreed.
uc1.b4083049	What do you say?"
uc1.b4083049	What do you think of our garden?
uc1.b4083049	What do you think?"
uc1.b4083049	What does he do? ” “ Oh, do n't you know who he is? ” replied Bennett.
uc1.b4083049	What does he do? ” “ Oh, do n't you know who he is? ” replied Bennett.
uc1.b4083049	What does he know of our temples of Terpsichore?
uc1.b4083049	What have I done now?"
uc1.b4083049	What have I done? ” “ I'm not; you have n't done anything- of course."
uc1.b4083049	What is it that agitates you, Nan? ” “ Read that. ” She pointed to the editorial.
uc1.b4083049	What is the deep need of them?
uc1.b4083049	What is your line of activity? ” The slight, elegant little man smiled.
uc1.b4083049	What of it?"
uc1.b4083049	What right you got to do that?
uc1.b4083049	What was forward?
uc1.b4083049	What's wrong? ” He was vastly perturbed and anxious, for she was not at all the type that loses control readily.
uc1.b4083049	What,"she inquired, with the air of propounding a conundrum, “ is between a live Molly and a hearse? ”.
uc1.b4083049	When do they expect the Panama- do you know?"
uc1.b4083049	Where are they all?
uc1.b4083049	Where do you suppose the women get their perfectly awful clothes?
uc1.b4083049	Where in this awful mixture they call society could one find a woman to marry?"
uc1.b4083049	Which ones are they? ” asked Keith, opening his own card.
uc1.b4083049	Which sale did they record under? ” “ Both! ” said Bennett.
uc1.b4083049	Who is Alder? ” she said, merely to say something.
uc1.b4083049	Who is it now, you sly dog?"
uc1.b4083049	Why all the clothes and illumination? ”.
uc1.b4083049	Why are you here? ” Ben Sansome's knowledge of women was wide, and he there- THE GRAY DAWN 321 fore imagined it profound.
uc1.b4083049	Why did they stay away?
uc1.b4083049	Why had he made no attempt to relieve her cruel anxiety?
uc1.b4083049	Why is n't it honest? ” Confronted with the direct question, she really did not know.
uc1.b4083049	Why is that? ” 62 THE GRAY DAWN The little valley widened into a pocket.
uc1.b4083049	Why should n't he?
uc1.b4083049	Why this funeral?
uc1.b4083049	Why was he there?
uc1.b4083049	Why was n't he at home?
uc1.b4083049	Why were these people gathered?
uc1.b4083049	Why?
uc1.b4083049	Why?"
uc1.b4083049	Wonder if she thought she had really fooled him?
uc1.b4083049	Wonder what colour her hair used to be? ” “ I suppose they are all right,"said Nan.
uc1.b4083049	Wonder where he got the money to start it?
uc1.b4083049	Would you mind telling me your name? ” “ Fairfax,"replied Johnny, gruffly embarrassed.
uc1.b4083049	You believe me? ” In spite of his iron control, a deep note of anxiety vibrated in his voice as he proffered the question.
uc1.b4083049	You musn't ask questions like that, must he, Mex?
uc1.b4083049	You need n't deny it; was n't I there? ” He shook his head, chuck- 168 THE GRAY DAWN 169 ling fatly.
uc1.b4083049	You understand, suh? ” He stood stiff and straight, staring at Keith.
uc1.b4083049	You wo n't be lonely?
uc1.b4083049	You would n't have me marry Sally Warner, would you or any of the other half- dozen Sally Warners?
uc1.b4083049	You'll pardon me, old chap, if I suggest that you've gone about things a bit wrong. ”"How is that?"
uc1.b4083049	You're not asked?
uc1.b4083049	Your job will be to duck out. ” He paused, then went on slowly: “ Would you grieve at the demise of either- or all three?"

uc1.b4083049	tendance? ” suggested Sherwood inquiringly.
uc1.b4083049	“ And suppose Keith is not put out of the way?"
uc1.b4083049	“ And what are the men going to do with that villain, Casey?
uc1.b4083049	“ Anybody else? ” he challenged, eying them.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are n't these early morning hours perfect?
uc1.b4083049	“ Are n't you really a little de trop? ”"I did not come of my own volition at this time, I assure you,"he replied a trifle stiffly.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are you a friend? ” he faltered.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are you armed? ” Mrs. Sherwood asked him suddenly.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are you bossing this job? ” he asked gravely.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are you done? ” he asked still quietly; then, receiving no reply, he turned in his chair and leaned forward with a sudden intensity.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are you sure it's honest? ”"Honest? ” he snorted, halted in mid- career.
uc1.b4083049	“ Are you sure it's honest? ”"Honest? ” he snorted, halted in mid- career.
uc1.b4083049	“ But how could you tell?"
uc1.b4083049	“ But is n't anybody hurt? ” cried Nan.
uc1.b4083049	“ But of course that is not the point. ” “ Oh, is n't it?
uc1.b4083049	“ But why?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Cal Bennett's all right — but the others- oh, I suppose they're all right in a business way- but"“ But, what?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Can we get anything to eat here? ” asked Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ Can you see Charley Nugent or Mike Rowlee crusading for the right?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Career? ” she repeated.
uc1.b4083049	“ Career? ” she went on, looking him in the eyes speculatively, and allowing her gaze to sink deep into his.
uc1.b4083049	“ Church? ” he returned with great decision.
uc1.b4083049	“ Commercial? ” He laughed in answer to his own question.
uc1.b4083049	“ Criminal?
uc1.b4083049	“ Damn it, ai n't I telling you?
uc1.b4083049	“ Did you ever try it before?
uc1.b4083049	“ Do I get no counsel? ” he inquired.
uc1.b4083049	“ Do n't I know the ordinary kind?
uc1.b4083049	“ Do n't you like the Sherwoods? ” he instantly demanded, with the masculine insistence on dissecting every butterfly.
uc1.b4083049	“ Do you distrust me? ” she demanded.
uc1.b4083049	“ Do you expect her to weep violently? ” asked Mrs. Sherwood.
uc1.b4083049	“ Do you mean to imply, suh, that I am guilty of crooked work? ” he inquired, a new edge of formality in his voice.
uc1.b4083049	“ Do you want my advice? ” asked Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ Eh? ” ejaculated Keith, bewildered.
uc1.b4083049	“ Forgotten? ” said Sherwood, the light of reminiscence springing to his eyes.
uc1.b4083049	“ Going to practise? ” “ If any practice comes my way. ” She looked at him, smiling slowly.
uc1.b4083049	“ Good heavens! ” was his comment; “ are we having company to- night?
uc1.b4083049	“ Got a rise out of the old Johnny, what? ” he remarked to Keith aside.
uc1.b4083049	“ Have n't we room enough?
uc1.b4083049	“ Have you been moving furniture all these days?
uc1.b4083049	“ Have you seen this?"
uc1.b4083049	“ He does n't scare for a cent, does he?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Hero? ”"Do n't pretend ignorance.
uc1.b4083049	“ How are you feeling now, honey?"
uc1.b4083049	“ How can I best help?"
uc1.b4083049	“ How can you ask that, dear lady? ” he begged pathetically.
uc1.b4083049	“ How does it happen you're outside? ” “ The committee sent notice that the truce was over."
uc1.b4083049	“ How does the hero of the fire survive?"
uc1.b4083049	“ How long a stream will it throw? ” he asked.
uc1.b4083049	“ How long ago did he deliver it? ”.
uc1.b4083049	“ How much do you need? ” he asked.
uc1.b4083049	“ How much? ” “ Well, they give me five thousand fer to git the job done, ” admitted Mex, with some reluctance.
uc1.b4083049	“ How so? ” “ My title from the sheriff may be clouded, but it will be contested against the title given at that sale.
uc1.b4083049	“ How's that? ” “ Go and see, ” advised Johnny.
uc1.b4083049	“ I wa’n you, suh, ” Bennett was repeating,"yo?
uc1.b4083049	“ I wonder what's up?
uc1.b4083049	“ I?
uc1.b4083049	“ If those men were wholly weak and useless, how did they get out here? ” countered Krafft.
uc1.b4083049	“ In heaven's name what are you driving at?
uc1.b4083049	“ Is n't it great luck to find somebody to practise with? ” he cried.
uc1.b4083049	“ Is n't it possible to drop it or compromise it or something, Milton? ”.
uc1.b4083049	“ Is she as far from respectability as all that? ” “ Respectable!
uc1.b4083049	“ Is that all?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Is the trouble anything to do with this Cora case?"
uc1.b4083049	“ It is in- conceivable to me that a man like you should turn so easily against his class! ” “ My class? ” he echoed wearily.
uc1.b4083049	“ James King of William running this, eh? ” He whistled, then laughed.
uc1.b4083049	“ Look here, ” said Ward, “ does it strike you this roof's getting hot? ” Recalled to himself, Keith immediately became aware of the fact.
uc1.b4083049	“ Look here,"said Keith, placing his finger on the notice, “ do you suppose this genuine? ” Johnny read the notice.
uc1.b4083049	“ Meaning you're a little tin god? ” she chaffed.
uc1.b4083049	“ Nan! ” he cried in an agony,"are you all right?
uc1.b4083049	“ No, what is it? ” he asked, reaching his hand for the paper.
uc1.b4083049	“ Not Diamond Jack? ” hesitated the proprietor.
uc1.b4083049	“ Oh, fifty thousand or so wo n't cripple us. ” “ A year?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Olney, ” said his chief, “ will you accept the command of a.. picked company in an important but somewhat perilous move- ment?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Our word is always good, when given to a friend; is n't it, Mex? ” The man nodded awkwardly and slouched away.
uc1.b4083049	“ Quite re- covered?
uc1.b4083049	“ Respectable?
uc1.b4083049	“ Shall we dance? ” he suggested formally.
uc1.b4083049	“ Shall we have vigilance with order or a mob with anarchy?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Surely, Judge, you do n't mean to imply that you endorse Coleman and his gang? ” put in Calhoun Bennett courteously but incredulously.
uc1.b4083049	“ Tell me, Ben, does she still care for her husband? ” “ No; that I'll swear! ” replied Sansome eagerly.
uc1.b4083049	“ That, ” said Keith,"I shall not disclose until my standing in the matter is assured. ” “ What do you want?"
uc1.b4083049	“ The capital. ” “ What is the scheme?"
uc1.b4083049	“ The sixth, are you very sure?
uc1.b4083049	“ The words will bear that interpretation, wo n't they?
uc1.b4083049	“ The'Bedouin Love Song?'
uc1.b4083049	“ Then can not I appeal to your sense of civic patriotism?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Then what do you mean telling every one that my Belle insulted your wife last night at the opera house? ” demanded Cora, ceasing to struggle.
uc1.b4083049	“ Then, ” she cried, with a sudden intensity,"why were n't you there on your side defending the jail?
uc1.b4083049	“ They do n't understand us, ” murmured Nan;"do n't you think we'd better drive on? ”.
uc1.b4083049	“ Vigilantes?
uc1.b4083049	“ W'at you do?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Was it our fault that we did n't get married sooner?
uc1.b4083049	“ Well, what did you say, then? ” challenged Calhoun Ben- nett.
uc1.b4083049	“ Well, what do you think of that? ” said Sally.
uc1.b4083049	“ Well, what is the game there? ” he demanded.
uc1.b4083049	“ Well, ” it came, “ how goes the trial? ” The words released Keith's pent flood of bitterness.
uc1.b4083049	“ Well, ” said Morrell cheerfully, after preliminary small talk had been disposed of, “ how goes the fair Nancy? ”.
uc1.b4083049	“ Well? ” said King, half convinced.
uc1.b4083049	“ What are you going to do? ” cried Richardson loudly and steadily, without struggling.
uc1.b4083049	“ What article? ” he inquired at last.
uc1.b4083049	“ What do such creatures as Cora and Yankee Sullivan amount to?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What do they know about hose?
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you expect? ” rasped Neil, “ that I go into this blind? ” “ I have prepared this paper,"said Keith, handing him a document.
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you expect? ” rasped Neil, “ that I go into this blind? ” “ I have prepared this paper,"said Keith, handing him a document.
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you intend doing? ” asked Johnny curiously.
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you mean by that article? ” cried Casey in a strangled voice.
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you mean?
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you propose doing, then?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you think of our new Assistant District Attorney?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you want done about it?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What do you want of me?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What is it, dearie?
uc1.b4083049	“ What is it? ” cried Mrs. Morrell in apparent anxiety.
uc1.b4083049	“ What is the matter with them? ” she persisted.
uc1.b4083049	“ What is your immediate plan?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What kind of a dog is he? ” she asked.
uc1.b4083049	“ What shall it be? ” she demanded, still with the undercurrent of eagerness.
uc1.b4083049	“ What sort of justice? ” queried King.
uc1.b4083049	“ What would you do about it?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What would you most want, if you were those poor men?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What's that?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What's the matter with them? ” he demanded.
uc1.b4083049	“ What's the matter with you, Charley?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What's the matter with your ladder? ” asked Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ What's the matter, dear?"
uc1.b4083049	“ What's the matter? ” inquired Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ What's up, anyway?"
uc1.b4083049	“ When did Sherwood leave? ” he cried.
uc1.b4083049	“ Where are the others? ” he asked confusedly.
uc1.b4083049	“ Where is Milton?
uc1.b4083049	“ Where is he?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Which is it? ” “ Guess,"laughed Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ Which side are you on?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Which? ” asked Nan puzzled.
uc1.b4083049	“ Who cares if I go to the dogs?
uc1.b4083049	“ Who gave you the money? ” demanded Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ Who is he?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Who is she?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Who is the cuss?
uc1.b4083049	“ Who sent that letter?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Who was backing Mex, anyway?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Why do n't you undertake some- thing instead of drifting?
uc1.b4083049	“ Why have you so suddenly taken up this form of activity?
uc1.b4083049	“ Why, he's a notorious butterfly. ” “ Well, it looks now as though he intended to alight. ” “ Seriously?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Will they storm the jail? ” asked Keith.
uc1.b4083049	“ Will you answer me?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Will you have an- other with me?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Will you help me?"
uc1.b4083049	“ Wo n't you have a cup of tea first?"
uc1.b4083049	“ You are a lawyer, I take it? ” he surmised.
uc1.b4083049	“ You are a recent arrival, Mr. Krafft?
uc1.b4083049	“ You come wiz me?"
uc1.b4083049	“ You have heard of me? ”.
uc1.b4083049	“ You here? ” he barked at Morrell, without waiting for a greeting.
uc1.b4083049	“ You like? ” she inquired, holding the squirming puppy at arm's length.
uc1.b4083049	“ You play, sing? ” she asked Nan.
uc1.b4083049	“ You were, I understand, counsel for Doctor Jones in obtaining judgment on the hospital scrip?"
uc1.b4083049	“ You would n't call him a live Molly, now would you, Teeny? ” implored Cal Bennett.
uc1.b4083049	“ You wrote it?
uc1.b4083049	“ You're a lawyer, are you not? ” she asked him.
uc1.b4083049	“ You're not in want? ” Krafft laughed gently.
uc1.b4083049	“ Young man, ” accused Mrs. Sherwood, with a faint amuse- ment in her rich, low voice, “ do you know that this is our dance?"
uc1.b4083049	“ — to put your opinion against theirs?"
osu.32435058050006	. ” “ Then there's a ‘ but'? ” “ Her beauty is so extraordinary.

osu.32435058050006	137 “ But why? ” “ Answer me please.
osu.32435058050006	214 THE LADY IN BLUE “ Who was that? ” asked Sennfeld.
osu.32435058050006	3 4 THE LADY IN BLUE “ Nasty evening, ai n’t it? ” remarked the stout letter carrier, as he handed her the mail.

osu.32435058050006	? ” “ Doubt the suicide, you mean?
osu.32435058050006	? ” “ Doubt the suicide, you mean?
osu.32435058050006	? ” “ I do n't think.
osu.32435058050006	A fresh young voice outside called: “ Hello there, nobody home?
osu.32435058050006	A man goaded into anger by jeal- ousy? ” 88 THE LADY IN BLUE “ Yes, it might.
osu.32435058050006	A portrait? ” asked Wallroth.
osu.32435058050006	After what you've been telling me? ” “ Why Miss Tony.
osu.32435058050006	Al- though she is undoubtedly connected with the crime in some way. ” “ Where is she?
osu.32435058050006	Am I not always polite? ” Richard smiled into her still handsome eyes.
osu.32435058050006	And I can have the gondola to- night and Achille?
osu.32435058050006	And I even WAS IT SUICIDE?
osu.32435058050006	And Milla can have the room next door?
osu.32435058050006	And as for yourself, would n't you rather be thought a bit of a cad than to be arrested under suspicion of murder? ” “ Murder? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058050006	And as for yourself, would n't you rather be thought a bit of a cad than to be arrested under suspicion of murder? ” “ Murder? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058050006	And if they had n’t given me more money, as I said, I — ” “ You would n't have stayed? ” Muller smiled.
osu.32435058050006	And now you'll be nice to me and love me again?
osu.32435058050006	And then Tony got scared and asked me if I ’d sleep upstairs with her. ” “ And you did? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435058050006	And was n't it strange, sir?
osu.32435058050006	And what else? ” “ He must be left- handed. ” “ Good boy.
osu.32435058050006	And why did n't you tell father?
osu.32435058050006	And why?
osu.32435058050006	And would you not have taken advan- tage of that chance? ” Brantschli sprang to his feet.
osu.32435058050006	And you did n't tell mother the truth either? ” “ There are times when one ca n’t tell a woman the truth.
osu.32435058050006	And you were asleep before twelve. ” “ How do you know that? ” asked the official sur- prised.
osu.32435058050006	Answer please. ” “ Did you know her?
osu.32435058050006	Are there any letters for me, Grunwald? ” “ Nothing yet, ” said the hotel keeper.
osu.32435058050006	Are you Goldie- Boy? ” The man flushed, but did not answer.
osu.32435058050006	Are you quite sure that it was Miss Lehmann who came home with Tony?
osu.32435058050006	Are you sure about that? ” “ Why, sir, what.
osu.32435058050006	Are you sure you are 64| THE LADY IN BLUE strong enough?
osu.32435058050006	As if they had met unexpectedly and were glad to see each other? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	BY SOUTHERN WATERS 51 “ How was it your fault?
osu.32435058050006	Be- fore I found it, and came up to the house, the lady was almost at the top of the stairs. ” 142 THE LADY IN BLUE “ And Tony?
osu.32435058050006	But I know she helped the man in every way. ” “ But why should he return to the house?
osu.32435058050006	But I suddenly remembered some- thing which I think I ought to tell you. ” “ Is it so important? ” “ I do n’t know.
osu.32435058050006	But he's so up to his ears in work just now. ” “ Then there's no one in your own family you could confide in? ” Milla sobbed.
osu.32435058050006	But how did you know that?
osu.32435058050006	But if Goldie- Boy was in Venice, who was the excited young man who tried to force his way in last evening?
osu.32435058050006	But if Tony loved this man, would she have arranged his meeting with a woman who had been his mis- tress, and then help him escape?
osu.32435058050006	But if he were not, why should he have been goaded into killing her?
osu.32435058050006	But if she was so excited that she forgot a woman's natural instinctive care for a costly hat like this, why did she put her coat away?
osu.32435058050006	But if the Baron did know her and she did not want him to recog- nize her — why did she linger on in the Grey House?
osu.32435058050006	But what brings you here? ” “ I phoned the hotel; they told me you were out.
osu.32435058050006	But why must it be in Linz?

osu.32435058050006	Ca n't we, Mr. Muller?
osu.32435058050006	Can I depend on you, Mr. Muller? ”* “ Most people find they can depend on me, ” said Muller.
osu.32435058050006	Can you get anything from this that might help you remember some particular person? ” Lohr had listened carefully, and sat silent in thought.
osu.32435058050006	Can you meet me there today? ” “ Any time after six. ” “ Good!
osu.32435058050006	Can you tell me of any other woman with whom Elise Lehmann was on terms of intimacy?
osu.32435058050006	Cheerful? ” “ No, she was frequently depressed and melan- choly.
osu.32435058050006	Did n't I open the gate for them myself, and was n't it broad daylight?
osu.32435058050006	Did she remem- ber any small pieces the lady may have had?
osu.32435058050006	Did you ever see the dead lady? ” “ No. ” “ She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
osu.32435058050006	Did you find a long white glove anywhere next morning?
osu.32435058050006	Did you find any- thing? ” Muller asked of his young assistant.
osu.32435058050006	Did you just happen in on a quarrel?
osu.32435058050006	Did you see her plainly? ” Mrs. Deisler looked up surprised.
osu.32435058050006	Did you see her plainly? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Did you want to marry her? ” Brantschli started up with an oath.
osu.32435058050006	Do n't come for me. ” “ Day after to- morrow? ” murmured Ossip.
osu.32435058050006	Do n't the young lady mind the loneli- ness? ” “ She ’s got her maid with her.
osu.32435058050006	Do you believe that Elise did not kill herself?
osu.32435058050006	Do you happen to know him? ” “ Not personally.
osu.32435058050006	Do you know him? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Does he know about the case? ” “ Yes, you need only fetch your credentials.
osu.32435058050006	Does n’t that mean it's from your be- loved? ” Wallroth looked nervous.
osu.32435058050006	Elise Lehmann. ” “ Elise Lehmann? ” Milla handed him the paper.
osu.32435058050006	Elise? ” “ No. ” Muller could not resist a faint smile.
osu.32435058050006	Embezzlement, or murder? ” “ Murder, friend Grunwald, ” replied Muller.
osu.32435058050006	Finally he murmured, “ What — what do you mean — by that? ” Thorn continued calmly.
osu.32435058050006	For the few people who had anything to do with her there, are quite enthusiastic about her. ” “ Indeed?
osu.32435058050006	Funny, too, she was n't the one I was interested in at first. ” “ Who Was? ” “ Another girl in the same company. ” “ An actress?

osu.32435058050006	God, why did she do it?
osu.32435058050006	Had the THE CRY AT TWILIGHT 9 cry come from there?
osu.32435058050006	Has he said anything to you? ” IN THE IVY COTTAGE 225 really believe I could not live without it.
osu.32435058050006	Have these violets anything to do with it?
osu.32435058050006	Have they found her? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Have you any idea who he is?
osu.32435058050006	Have you been doing any more of that sort of thing? ” Muller opened his bag and took out some papers which he slipped in his pocket.
osu.32435058050006	He is her only relative. ” “ What is his name and address? ” “ His name is Hubert Lohr.
osu.32435058050006	He lives here. ” “ Has he been notified? ” “ A wire went to him yesterday.
osu.32435058050006	He slipped out of the door like a shadow. ” “ Is that a confidential servant? ” asked Thorn.
osu.32435058050006	He was badly wounded and went away. ” “ Have you ever been to Italy? ” “ No; they keep me in this country.
osu.32435058050006	He's had nothing to do with that affair. ” “ Are you quite sure about that? ” asked Muller with a smile.
osu.32435058050006	Hear it howling in the chimney?
osu.32435058050006	Her husband comes later, I hope? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Hideously sentimental title, eh? ” “ Yes, cheap sentiment.
osu.32435058050006	Hm, what dates does a woman remember longest — a meeting with — or parting from, a lover?
osu.32435058050006	How about it, Ossip? ” “ Oh, yes, Mr. Muller, ” exclaimed the Russian, eagerly.
osu.32435058050006	I am stopping with the Wallroths. ” “ And after June 8th? ” “ I shall be wandering about, ” answered Thorn, evasively.
osu.32435058050006	I am to go? ” “ If you do n't mind? ” “ Not in the least, ” replied Sennfeld cheerfully.
osu.32435058050006	I am to go? ” “ If you do n't mind? ” “ Not in the least, ” replied Sennfeld cheerfully.
osu.32435058050006	I ca n't understand what you mean by all these ques- tions? ” Muller did not answer.
osu.32435058050006	I expect she's got her cares too, like the rest of us. ” “ What's that? ” whispered Tony hastily, her eyes staring into the corner.
osu.32435058050006	I have the photographer's name and address and can get more if I need them. ” “ Where can I reach you to send you money? ” asked the painter.
osu.32435058050006	I heard her Swan Song. ” “ She was in good spirits then? ” “ Yes and no.
osu.32435058050006	I intend to have the garden searched for those pieces to- morrow. ” “ You think that letter was from ‘ Goldie- Boy'?
osu.32435058050006	I mean the effect this letter had on me?
osu.32435058050006	I need youth beside me. ” “ Shall I? ” began Ossip.
osu.32435058050006	I saw in your picture today?
osu.32435058050006	I told you, I broke off with her. ” “ Then why did you fight a duel?
osu.32435058050006	I usually wake about five, so that I can be on the spot about six. ” “ In the Grey house, you mean? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058050006	I was all alone in the house. ” “ Hm, were you?
osu.32435058050006	I would hire a good detective if I were you. ” “ You think I ought to do that? ” “ Who else?
osu.32435058050006	I would hire a good detective if I were you. ” “ You think I ought to do that? ” “ Who else?
osu.32435058050006	I ’ve met him. ” “ What sort of a person was he? ” asked Volk- ner.
osu.32435058050006	I'll confess to you that she turned me down hard. ” “ Then you took up with the other one?
osu.32435058050006	I'll go. ” “ Shall I go too, or do you want me to stay here? ” asked Mrs. Deisler timidly.
osu.32435058050006	I'll just fasten this shoestring and then I'll lock you safely in again. ” “ How's your headache? ” asked the housekeeper.
osu.32435058050006	I'm finishing my picture there. ” “ What is it?
osu.32435058050006	I've always been interested in this old house. ” “ Particularly since it had two charming inmates? ” “ Two?
osu.32435058050006	I've always been interested in this old house. ” “ Particularly since it had two charming inmates? ” “ Two?
osu.32435058050006	If I may ask? ” “ I ’ll show you in the Grey House.
osu.32435058050006	If it were “ Goldie- Boy? ” “ Please open the door, Ossip.
osu.32435058050006	In Salz- burg, eh?
osu.32435058050006	In a certain old grey house? ” “ That is n’t hard to guess, ” answered Wallroth.
osu.32435058050006	Informa- tion about what? ”- Hubert Lohr looked at his guest sharply.
osu.32435058050006	Is Elise especially desirous of ad- miration? ” “ Why especially ’? ” “ Because they're all coquettes.
osu.32435058050006	Is Elise especially desirous of ad- miration? ” “ Why especially ’? ” “ Because they're all coquettes.
osu.32435058050006	Is it so incredible that there might be one who would prefer to see her dead rather than in the arms of a rival?
osu.32435058050006	Is that the pic- G R A V E- F L O W E RS 37 ture? ” He walked over to the easel that stood before one of the broad windows.
osu.32435058050006	Is this Miss Lehmann's handwriting? ” He held the card so that Thorn could see it.
osu.32435058050006	Is your loved one such a sad coquette? ” “ I have found her reserved, rather than otherwise, but.
osu.32435058050006	It was a lit- tle past six, I think. ” “ And it was that Saturday, you're sure? ” THE LEFT- HANDED MAN 189 “ It was that very Saturday.
osu.32435058050006	It was a woman's voice. ” “ What did you hear? ” “ Just a few sentences.
osu.32435058050006	It was he who called me in. ” “ How did he come to know Elise?
osu.32435058050006	It was left to old Muller to point that out, eh?
osu.32435058050006	It's lonely in this house for a young pretty thing like her. ” “ What is your name? ” The official asked the maid.
osu.32435058050006	Later, why should she stay on here, and why should she play into this man's hands as she did?
osu.32435058050006	Let's sit down and talk calmly. ” “ What about? ” “ Matters that interest you.
osu.32435058050006	May I ask the name? ” “ Joseph Muller.
osu.32435058050006	May I ask you to give these apple blossoms to your wife, with the assurance of my warmest esteem?
osu.32435058050006	Maybe I can help you there. ” “ Did your master send you here to snoop around and poke into a poor girl's past?
osu.32435058050006	Mrs. Deisler leaned over toward him and asked, mysteriously, “ Do they scream, too? ” Muller looked surprised.
osu.32435058050006	Muller hung up the coat and turned to go, when his attention was again arrested, this time by some- WHO CAME BACK?
osu.32435058050006	Muller? ” asked Thorn.
osu.32435058050006	Not out in the gar- den? ” “ I had him in here the whole evening.
osu.32435058050006	Now, why should such a woman go to such lengths of danger for herself?
osu.32435058050006	Oh, God, when I think 9?
osu.32435058050006	Oh, I am only his shadow — the shadow of a great man — my master. ” “ Who is he? ” Ossip's face softened.
osu.32435058050006	Once he laid his hand on Volkner's arm and asked suddenly: “ They have a child, have n't they? ” “ Who? ” exclaimed Volkner in surprise.
osu.32435058050006	Once he laid his hand on Volkner's arm and asked suddenly: “ They have a child, have n't they? ” “ Who? ” exclaimed Volkner in surprise.
osu.32435058050006	Only not so striking. ” “ And looked ill, did she not? ” “ Why, no; she looked strong and vigorous.
osu.32435058050006	Or Bertie?
osu.32435058050006	Or a chorus girl? ” “ Now Milla, you need n't lift that little nose of yours so high.
osu.32435058050006	People talk too much about this place. ” “ Hm — what do they say? ” asked Muller, halting on the stairs.
osu.32435058050006	Queer, is n’t it? ” remarked Lohr, with an odd smile.
osu.32435058050006	She heard a cry?
osu.32435058050006	She was shivering too, and real hoarse, and she asked me why I had the dog in the room with me? ” “ Oh, the dog was in here?
osu.32435058050006	She was shivering too, and real hoarse, and she asked me why I had the dog in the room with me? ” “ Oh, the dog was in here?
osu.32435058050006	She went out every day, generally during the forenoon, and usually alone. ” “ What was her mood?
osu.32435058050006	She, and the man? ” asked the Russian, eagerly.
osu.32435058050006	So what's the use?
osu.32435058050006	Still, I must say there has n’t been anything much lately. ” “ How lately? ” “ Oh, for the last week or so. ”- “ But before that?
osu.32435058050006	Still, I must say there has n’t been anything much lately. ” “ How lately? ” “ Oh, for the last week or so. ”- “ But before that?
osu.32435058050006	Strange, ai n’t it?
osu.32435058050006	Suddenly he asked: “ You are a Russian, are n't you? ” “ Do I look it? ” “ Why, yes; you look as if you might be 9?
osu.32435058050006	Suddenly he asked: “ You are a Russian, are n't you? ” “ Do I look it? ” “ Why, yes; you look as if you might be 9?
osu.32435058050006	Suddenly he asked: “ You are a Russian, are n't you? ” “ Do I look it? ” “ Why, yes; you look as if you might be 9?
osu.32435058050006	That is why I ask you to come with me. ” “ Who are you? ” Moser looked at his compan- ion with a rising distrust.
osu.32435058050006	That makes all the sections fit, with one exception. ” “ And that? ” “ Is Tony, ” replied Muller thoughtfully.
osu.32435058050006	That's not much to go on, is it?
osu.32435058050006	The gentleman is coming down with me. ” “ What's all that?
osu.32435058050006	The housekeeper heard the girl's death- cry at seven o'clock or shortly before. ” “ What?
osu.32435058050006	The young lady wore a cloak that evening, did n't she? ” “ Why, yes, sir; it was cold and stormy.
osu.32435058050006	Then Pro- fessor Thorn does not believe that my sister killed herself? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Then he rose, looked around and remarked, “ No, I am sure it was a man. ” WHO CAME BACK?
osu.32435058050006	Then she did not kill herself? ” “ No; she did not.
osu.32435058050006	Then she turned “ Why ca n't you come up and sleep in my room? ” she asked.
osu.32435058050006	Then you do n't want me in Salzburg? ” “ No. ” 90 THE LADY IN BLUE “ In that case I shall be here till June 8th.
osu.32435058050006	Then you want my prettiest gondola again and Achille? ” “ Excellent guess!
osu.32435058050006	Then you've been in her service scarcely a month?
osu.32435058050006	Then, in an outburst of mingled jealousy and rage, he exclaimed: “ Then there were others?
osu.32435058050006	There was a gentleman with her and they were talking rather excitedly. ” “ In what way?
osu.32435058050006	There was n't anyone awake at three o'clock to open the gate for me. ” “ Mercy on us, were you here at three? ” ex- claimed Muller.
osu.32435058050006	There's one slamming now. ” “ How can it slam?
osu.32435058050006	They al- ways sat right down front. ” “ Tell me, are there two keys to the river gate? ” 99 WHO CAME BACK?
osu.32435058050006	They al- ways sat right down front. ” “ Tell me, are there two keys to the river gate? ” 99 WHO CAME BACK?
osu.32435058050006	They always took the keys when they went to the theatre. ” “ Did they go often? ” “ Every two or three days.
osu.32435058050006	They'll call me if they want me. ” “ What are you so excited about? ” “ I ’m not excited.
osu.32435058050006	Throws a light on the mental calibre of the future Baroness Wallroth, does n’t it? ” “ You think that letter was from Goldie- Boy ’?
osu.32435058050006	Throws a light on the mental calibre of the future Baroness Wallroth, does n’t it? ” “ You think that letter was from Goldie- Boy ’?
osu.32435058050006	Tony told me. ” “ Was she as particular about shoes too? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435058050006	Very well then, you in- BY SOUTHERN WATERS 45 sist on disobeying the doctor?
osu.32435058050006	WHO CAME BACK?
osu.32435058050006	WHO CAME BACK?
osu.32435058050006	Was Elise usually so eccentric in her behavior? ” “ Oh, no.
osu.32435058050006	Was it a man? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Was it surely Miss Lehmann who came back with Tony?
osu.32435058050006	Was she in such a hurry to get out of your sight? ” “ Oh, no.
osu.32435058050006	Was that it? ” He nodded.
osu.32435058050006	We should have started the investigation last Sunday morning. ” “ We? ” queried the detective?
osu.32435058050006	We should have started the investigation last Sunday morning. ” “ We? ” queried the detective?
osu.32435058050006	What I want to see is her skirt and her shoes. ” “ Why?
osu.32435058050006	What are you going to do now?
osu.32435058050006	What are you going to do now? ”\ “ My gondolier and a native secret- service man are waiting for me outside.
osu.32435058050006	What can it mean? ” His eyes were full of a queer frightened pleading, as he looked at his cousin.
osu.32435058050006	What could have driven her to such a step? ” “ You may find the answer to that question in her desk.
osu.32435058050006	What did you do to get this lung trouble? ” Volkner turned his head, for which a bad fit of coughing might have been sufficient excuse.
osu.32435058050006	What impression did you get? ” “ He was not very young, not a lad.
osu.32435058050006	What is it?
osu.32435058050006	What is the matter? ” “ Hush, here's the maid. ” Volkner rose and walked to the window.
osu.32435058050006	What more could anyone want?
osu.32435058050006	What sort of a looking man was he? ” “ Why, young, and strong looking and nicely dressed.
osu.32435058050006	What would you need him for? ” asked Volkner with youthful curiosity.
osu.32435058050006	What's the matter? ” Hastily Thorn pushed up a chair.
osu.32435058050006	What? ” Muller's head had gone sharply erect, his eyes were half closed.
osu.32435058050006	Where would we be without ideals? ” Most of the boys hooted, but the pro- fessor rose, went to Lohr's bench and shook his hand.
osu.32435058050006	Where's Richard? ” “ Looking after your luggage probably, ” replied the Marchesa.
osu.32435058050006	Where's the Missus? ” “ Gone marketing, I fancy, ” answered Lohr, as he went out, after a murmured excuse to Muller.
osu.32435058050006	Where? ” “ Just as you thought, in the pond behind the Ar- tillery Barracks.
osu.32435058050006	Who could have murdered her?
osu.32435058050006	Who else but a lover, angry at her desertion, could have had any cause for so fatal a rage?
osu.32435058050006	Who is blind? ” “ She is threatened with blindness.
osu.32435058050006	Who is this woman? ” Wallroth passed his hand over his brow, as Thorn looked at him in surprise.
osu.32435058050006	Why are you so interested in these two young ladies? ” he asked with a smile as he pulled forward a chair for Muller.
osu.32435058050006	Why ca n’t he let her rest in her grave?
osu.32435058050006	Why did n't you guess it at once? ” replied Thorn in surprise.
osu.32435058050006	Why did n't you say so? ” Volkner laughed merrily.
osu.32435058050006	Why did she run the risk of having him recognize her?
osu.32435058050006	Why did you do this?
osu.32435058050006	Why did you want to know about Lohrs? ” A sudden uneasy fear tugged at Volk- ner's heart.
osu.32435058050006	Why is n't that on some chair, as the other things are? ” A fan and a silk reticule lay on the chair under the hat.
osu.32435058050006	Why not let him if he's that silly? ” “ He will, do n't worry.
osu.32435058050006	Why should she have done this?
osu.32435058050006	Why, what's the matter?
osu.32435058050006	Why? ” Wallroth's voice trailed away to an inarticulate murmur which was like a moan of pain.
osu.32435058050006	Will another thirty crowns compensate you for the loss of time? ” “ That is very generous.
osu.32435058050006	Will you do that? ” “ Why certainly. ” Mrs. Deisler herself preferred not to be alone that night.
osu.32435058050006	Will you go down stairs Mr. Buchner, and send up the men with the litter?
osu.32435058050006	Will you let me know of anything you hear and see that might bring some light into this affair?
osu.32435058050006	Will you look? ”- Thorn gave a sigh of impatience.
osu.32435058050006	Will you need me? ” “ No, I'll ring if I do. ” “ It's the last door on the right, sir.
osu.32435058050006	Will you stay in Salz- burg? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	Wonderful! ” “ Who are you raving about now? ” asked Wall- roth coming in.
osu.32435058050006	Would Edmund be the first to break this rule of generations?
osu.32435058050006	Would any trained maid put clothes away in such a condition?
osu.32435058050006	Would you mind answering me a few questions? ” Volkner nodded with a light shrug and a half laugh.
osu.32435058050006	You are a de- tective, and come to me for information?
osu.32435058050006	You belong to the household, I suppose? ” “ Yes, sir.
osu.32435058050006	You had — constables? ” “ Oh, dear, no, only the gardener and my young assistant.
osu.32435058050006	You laugh?
osu.32435058050006	You wonder that I speak so of my sister?
osu.32435058050006	You'll go with me? ” Wallroth's tone was dull and numb with grief.
osu.32435058050006	You'll keep him indoors, wo n't you, Mr. Muller?
osu.32435058050006	You're a mind- reader, dear lady. ” “ Did n't you know that?
osu.32435058050006	Your man's over there, is he?
osu.32435058050006	after all those stories. ” “ Why ca n't you stay down here? ” “ That wo n't do.
osu.32435058050006	and beauties? ” G R A V E- F L O W E R S 33 “ You ’ll be charmed with Elise when you meet her. ” “ I hope so.
osu.32435058050006	are n't you going to let me in?
osu.32435058050006	at 5.50 next morning, ex- actly nine hours later. ” “ Are there any other night trains? ” “ One leaves at 10.43, but lands nine hours later.
osu.32435058050006	came home? ” he lingered on the word “ two. ” “ The two ladies?
osu.32435058050006	came home? ” he lingered on the word “ two. ” “ The two ladies?
osu.32435058050006	crim- inal? ” asked Lohr tensely.
osu.32435058050006	dead straight? ” “ The less said about that the better. ” Richard turned from his sister and stared out over the wide waters.
osu.32435058050006	did Miss Lehmann change her clothes before she was killed?
osu.32435058050006	did you see that? ” And her shaking hand pointed to a dagger which lay on the edge of the rug, not far from the stiffened right hand of the corpse.
osu.32435058050006	different from the usual? ” “ Only that she was pale and looked tired.
osu.32435058050006	even before you knew her, or at least before you wooed her? ” Wallroth raised his head a bit stiffly.
osu.32435058050006	even if you had to tell a little fib? ” “ How so.
osu.32435058050006	except pos- sibly Baron Wallroth, ask anything of this girl, except that she should amuse you with her gayety and charm you with her beauty?
osu.32435058050006	fib? ”- “ The wife of a good friend of mine, ” quoted the Marchesa.
osu.32435058050006	hear that?
osu.32435058050006	hear that? ” “ Is it.
osu.32435058050006	how did you know about my poem? ” he asked, as he rose to his feet.
osu.32435058050006	in the lady's service? ” The Commissioner turned his attention to Tony again.
osu.32435058050006	is n't it terrible? ” She hastened to open the gate.
osu.32435058050006	is? ” “ No, ” replied Thorn, but Muller's keen ear had caught a slight hesitation.
osu.32435058050006	just when did you hear it? ” he asked.
osu.32435058050006	mental trouble, too?
osu.32435058050006	no, nearly seven. ” “ The evening before the body was found? ” “ Yes. ” “ About seven? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058050006	no, nearly seven. ” “ The evening before the body was found? ” “ Yes. ” “ About seven? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058050006	of anything? ” Tony's 12 THE LADY IN BLUE voice showed surprise.
osu.32435058050006	one of your own? ” Moser nodded to the young stranger, with the free- masonry of youth.
osu.32435058050006	please. ” “ Still harping on that foolish little affair? ” he replied lightly.
osu.32435058050006	really an attic window? ” “ Why yes.
osu.32435058050006	she's right smart and handsome to look at, is n’t she? ” “ Hush.

osu.32435058050006	that there are papers in the stove? ” Then the boy blushed again as he saw a wave of deep color shoot up into the old detective's cheeks.

osu.32435058050006	where is she now?

osu.32435058050006	“ A letter already? ” teased Thorn, standing in his doorway.
osu.32435058050006	“ A woman in the case, I suppose? ” she added.
osu.32435058050006	“ A young woman? ” “ Yes, sir.

osu.32435058050006	“ And he was asking for you this evening. ” “ Asking for me? ” “ Well, I do n’t know.
osu.32435058050006	“ And then? ” asked Muller softly.
osu.32435058050006	“ And you ’ve seen this dagger before too? ” the official turned to Mrs. Deisler.
osu.32435058050006	“ And you?
osu.32435058050006	“ Antonia K? ” he murmured.
osu.32435058050006	“ Anything new? ” he asked, in an undertone, as he reached up for his hat.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are n't you eating anything? ” he asked, as he helped himself liberally.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are there second keys to these doors? ” “ No, ” answered both women.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you a col- lege man? ” he asked.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you a relative of the dead lady, sir? ” she asked timidly.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you as tired as you look? ” Thorn asked through the open door between their rooms in the hotel, as they were brushing up after their drive.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you chilly? ” said Muller.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you ready?
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you sure it is n’t just Tony's pretty face that has charmed you, as it did the others? ” he asked.
osu.32435058050006	“ Are you sure of that? ” he gasped, but Ossip motioned him to be quiet for Muller was speaking.
osu.32435058050006	“ As long as you are up, would you make me a cup of tea? ” asked the girl.
osu.32435058050006	“ At my age, you mean? ” replied the detective, with a laugh.

osu.32435058050006	“ But there was no doubt about the cause of death? ” “ Oh no, there is no doubt about that, ” replied Muller calmly.
osu.32435058050006	“ Ca n't he give you any help? ” “ No, the girl played her cards well.
osu.32435058050006	“ Can I see Mrs. Deisler? ” asked Muller.
osu.32435058050006	“ Can we start to- morrow?
osu.32435058050006	“ Could I speak to Mr. Lohr? ” he asked, raising his hat.
osu.32435058050006	“ Could n't I go to Salzburg with you? ” he asked finally.
osu.32435058050006	“ Could n't you find out what the trouble is?
osu.32435058050006	“ Could this be your friend? ” The little lady's tone was scornfully bitter.
osu.32435058050006	“ Could you come upstairs after a while?
osu.32435058050006	“ Detective? — Is — is there — is there anything more to find out — about why she did it? ” “ That's what I'm here for.

osu.32435058050006	“ Did you notice the color of his hair, by any chance? ” Moser shook his head.
osu.32435058050006	“ Did you see anything of the other woman, the maid, Tony? ” Moser shook his head.
osu.32435058050006	“ Do I look as bad as all that? ” asked Volkner, with an attempt at a smile, as he dropped into a chair.
osu.32435058050006	“ Do I report to the Baron or to you? ” “ To me. ” “ And where can letters or telegrams reach you? ” Thorn was silent a moment.
osu.32435058050006	“ Do I report to the Baron or to you? ” “ To me. ” “ And where can letters or telegrams reach you? ” Thorn was silent a moment.
osu.32435058050006	“ Do you like it? ” asked Thorn, laying his hand lightly on his cousin's shoulder.

osu.32435058050006	“ Does this young man belong to you? ” asked the gardener, as Muller came up.
osu.32435058050006	“ Goldie- Boy? ” flashed through Muller's mind.
osu.32435058050006	“ Has your Swan Song anything to do with Miss Lehmann? ” Moser looked up startled.
osu.32435058050006	“ How could I have been so blind? ” he said, low and humbly.
osu.32435058050006	“ How could she?
osu.32435058050006	“ How else could I get in?
osu.32435058050006	“ How is he driving? ” he exclaimed.
osu.32435058050006	“ How long did you sit under your bush? ” “ About half an hour, I think, or it may have been THE LEFT- HANDED MAN 193 a bit longer.
osu.32435058050006	“ How long have you been in this place?
osu.32435058050006	“ I have an idea it was brown. ” “ And his age?
osu.32435058050006	“ I know I am madly jealous. ” “ Justified?
osu.32435058050006	“ I must be getting back to Venice. ” “ Where are you going?
osu.32435058050006	“ I told him you were in charge and that he could see you at the hotel. ” “ You did n't tell him anything more? ” “ No, sir.
osu.32435058050006	“ I wonder why? ” thought Thorn.
osu.32435058050006	“ I?
osu.32435058050006	“ I?
osu.32435058050006	“ If you are, you may have your letters, I think. ” “ You found them?
osu.32435058050006	“ Is n't this Mr. Moser?
osu.32435058050006	“ Is there anything more I can do, sir? ” she asked, when she had finished her story.
osu.32435058050006	“ Is this Miss Elise Leh- mann? ” “ Why, yes.
osu.32435058050006	“ Is this the one? ” MULLER IN THE GREY HOUSE 109 “ Yes, sir, that's the cloak she wore. ” The old woman's tone was quite definite.
osu.32435058050006	“ Just like a regular tourist?

osu.32435058050006	“ No, my dear child. ” “ Then I can go? ” “ Yes. ” “ I mean, I can leave Salzburg?
osu.32435058050006	“ No, my dear child. ” “ Then I can go? ” “ Yes. ” “ I mean, I can leave Salzburg?
osu.32435058050006	“ Now tell me, did you know the dead woman's maid, whom she engaged in Linz? ” “ Why, no.
osu.32435058050006	“ Of course you've seen this, sir? ” he asked timidly.

osu.32435058050006	“ Oh, signor, would you teach me to know men, 44 THE LADY IN BLUE especially gay young men like yourself?
osu.32435058050006	“ On the edge of the rug? ” he said again, this time with a slightly scornful smile.
osu.32435058050006	“ On the edge? ” repeated Muller.
osu.32435058050006	“ Robert wrote you? ” she exclaimed, and her soft eyes shone through tears.
osu.32435058050006	“ Scarcely a month, sir. ” “ Well? ” This to the doctor, who had risen to his feet.
osu.32435058050006	“ Sha n’t I fix a cold compress for your throat? ” she asked now, in real concern.
osu.32435058050006	“ Shall I come back to you, sir?
osu.32435058050006	“ She arranged her alibi neatly, did n't she? ” he remarked lightly.
osu.32435058050006	“ She hired me in Linz. ” “ Is Linz your home? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435058050006	“ She never got out of the provinces. ” “ But she was in Vienna — at the Carl Theatre? ” “ That was where she began.
osu.32435058050006	“ She's never been there, you say? ” “ No.
osu.32435058050006	“ So you found the house, did you? ” asked Muller.
osu.32435058050006	“ The girl for whose sake you nearly got killed? ” “ Oh.
osu.32435058050006	“ The lady and Tony came home from the theatre. ” “ And you? ” The Commissioner looked at the girl.

osu.32435058050006	“ There, did n't I tell you we'd be good friends? ” said Muller, holding out his hand.
osu.32435058050006	“ Was it a young woman in the twenties, pretty but sickly looking? ” “ Yes, sir, that's she.
osu.32435058050006	“ Was that man a friend of yours?
osu.32435058050006	“ We can go now, can we not? ” His wife rose, too and stood beside him.
osu.32435058050006	“ Welcome, welcome! ” he exclaimed aloud, then whispered, as he helped his guest up the steps: “ What is it this time?
osu.32435058050006	“ Well? ” asked Muller, “ what is it? ” “ Will you take me with you, sir? ” asked the lad, timidly.

osu.32435058050006	“ Well? ” he asked, with a gesture toward the chair in front of his desk.
osu.32435058050006	“ Well? ” queried Sennfeld, a bit impatient.
osu.32435058050006	“ What are you thinking about? ” asked Tony nervously.
osu.32435058050006	“ What can I do for you, gentlemen? ” she asked.
osu.32435058050006	“ What can I do for you? ” “ It's my wages, sir.
osu.32435058050006	“ What does it mean?
osu.32435058050006	“ What does your doctor say, Richard?
osu.32435058050006	“ What girl? ” asked Richard, dropping his book.
osu.32435058050006	“ What have you seen now? ” Ossip had made a quick movement toward the fireplace.
osu.32435058050006	“ What is it?
osu.32435058050006	“ What makes you so thoughtful, Miss Tony? ” she asked, as the girl did not speak but sat absently patting the dog's head which lay in her lap.
osu.32435058050006	“ What must we do now? ” “ We must find this ‘ Goldie- Boy'!
osu.32435058050006	“ What was it, that happened for the last time on May 5th?
osu.32435058050006	“ What was that girl's name? ” she queried hast- ily.
osu.32435058050006	“ What's the hurry, and where are you taking me? ” asked the latter.
osu.32435058050006	“ What's the matter, Milly? ” he exclaimed softly.
osu.32435058050006	“ When did she come back?
osu.32435058050006	“ When did you hear that scream?
osu.32435058050006	“ When did you last see the lady alive? ” asked WHAT NEXT MORNING BROUGHT 25 the Commissioner, after a short examination of the watch and jewelry.
osu.32435058050006	“ Where are we going? ” 300 THE LADY IN BLUE “ Discovered him and brought him right with me, ” replied Muller.
osu.32435058050006	“ Where did she keep her money? ” he asked of Tony.
osu.32435058050006	“ Where did they find it next morning? ” asked Muller in more natural tone.
osu.32435058050006	“ Which is why you took her off the stage at once, and hid her in a lonely house outside a small town?
osu.32435058050006	“ Who's up there? ” she whispered.
osu.32435058050006	“ Whom can you suggest? ” said Thorn, after he had put his case before the official.
osu.32435058050006	“ Whose composition was it?
osu.32435058050006	“ Why Mrs. Deisler, did you wait up for us? ” exclaimed Tony, who stood by the box, paying the driver.
osu.32435058050006	“ Why did you come out in this wind? ” he asked.
osu.32435058050006	“ Why did you come, if you felt you could not endure it? ” “ It's so hideous, so incomprehensible, ” groaned Wallroth.
osu.32435058050006	“ Why do you think so? ” asked the girl, with a laugh.
osu.32435058050006	“ Why does he have to make that noise?
osu.32435058050006	“ Why doggie, what are you doing in here? ” “ I.
osu.32435058050006	“ Why should it interest you? ” queried Moser.
osu.32435058050006	“ Why, Richard, it surely does n’t mean anything to you now? ” exclaimed his sister, quite alarmed.
osu.32435058050006	“ Will you come in?
osu.32435058050006	“ Yes, sir. ” “ And you are the housekeeper? ” Then the commissioner turned to the body, beside which the doctor was kneeling.
osu.32435058050006	“ You 50 THE LADY IN BLUE lied to us, did n't you? ” she asked.
osu.32435058050006	“ You are the dead lady's maid? ” he asked, looking at Tony.
osu.32435058050006	“ You do not think it was suicide? ” “ No, I think it was murder.
osu.32435058050006	“ You know how happy I am, in spite of every- thing. ” “ In spite of everything?
osu.32435058050006	“ You remember Mrs. Deisler?
osu.32435058050006	“ You said it had rained that evening? ” “ Yes, sir, there was a sharp shower about ten o'clock or maybe earlier.

osu.32435058050006	“ You were much sicker than you told us? ” “ Naturally. ” “ Oh.
osu.32435058050006	“ You wish to speak to me? ” he asked, as she stopped before him.
osu.32435058050006	“ You ’re going traveling?
osu.32435058050006	“ You ’ve had good news? ” he said.

uiug.30112047696437	Did the prosecution suggest that he had thrown fresh fuel?
uiug.30112047696437	Did you tell it to anybody at the time? ” “ Only Tom Ivey. ” 179 N 2 End of the Duel fastened upon his face with the glitter of fixed bayonets.
uiug.30112047696437	Do you know what you ’ve done, and confessed to doing?
uiug.30112047696437	Do you know why?
uiug.30112047696437	Do you think I care what you do with the brat?
uiug.30112047696437	Do you think I have n’t heard about it?
uiug.30112047696437	Do you think I ’d lift a finger for you — let alone a stick?
uiug.30112047696437	Friday, is it?
uiug.30112047696437	Had Musk relented?
uiug.30112047696437	Had Sir Wilton been there before him, and was he going to rebuild the church?
uiug.30112047696437	Had he ever been there at all?
uiug.30112047696437	Had it really happened after all?
uiug.30112047696437	Had some one been carrying it on in his ab- sence?
uiug.30112047696437	Had you none either?
uiug.30112047696437	Have n’t I told you once and for all never to lay your tongue to that name, in my hearing or behind my back, as long as you live?
uiug.30112047696437	How are you, eh? ” “ Nicely, thank you, Sir Wilton, ” said Tom, coming up.
uiug.30112047696437	How came he to be so sure of Gwynneth?
uiug.30112047696437	How could there be any forgiveness, in heaven or on earth, for him a clergyman?
uiug.30112047696437	I am resigning the living, my lord. ” “ Resigning it? ” cried the bishop.
uiug.30112047696437	I found his hat in the church. ” “ And you never told? ” “ Nor shall I now.
uiug.30112047696437	I know he did. ” What could it mean?
uiug.30112047696437	I said I believed I could. ” “ You have done enough harm in the place; surely you would n’t come back to do more?
uiug.30112047696437	I thought nobody knew where she was?
uiug.30112047696437	I ’ll have you torn in pieces if you stay ’?
uiug.30112047696437	I ’ve never wanted work. ” “ Until now, I suppose?
uiug.30112047696437	Is it a fact that she played the organ in church?
uiug.30112047696437	Is n’t that hard?
uiug.30112047696437	Is that really your wish?
uiug.30112047696437	Is there another clergyman that ’d do the like tO a man that went against him in the parish?
uiug.30112047696437	It was rather the obsession of an astounding puzzle: what in the world could have caused a fire at all?
uiug.30112047696437	It was several weeks before, we discovered that her friend had never seen her. ” “ And all this time you did not suspect her condition?
uiug.30112047696437	Keeps the fun to himself, do n’t he?
uiug.30112047696437	Look at the lamps; he ’s simply emptied them ” “ Who, sir — who?
uiug.30112047696437	Molly?
uiug.30112047696437	My God, can you stand there looking at me as if I were in the wrong instead 0 ’ you?
uiug.30112047696437	My church at Long Stow has been burnt down through me——- through my sin — to punish me—- — — ” “ Are you sure of that, Mr. Carlton?
uiug.30112047696437	My written undertaking — to you./ ” “ Do you refuse to give it? ” asked Carlton quickly.
uiug.30112047696437	No, Mr. Carlton, you ’ve got to come straight away. ” “ But surely I may change first?
uiug.30112047696437	Now he was con- fessing to Musk, now to George Mellis; poor George, where was he?
uiug.30112047696437	Old Sally Webb — is it —— or one of the old Wilsons?
uiug.30112047696437	Or Canon Wilders, or any other man Jack of ’em?
uiug.30112047696437	Or are you bent upon having me up for assault?
uiug.30112047696437	Or was it only that one noticed no 245 Peccavi difference from day to day, but all the difference in the world after an unaccustomed absence?
uiug.30112047696437	Salt mutton?
uiug.30112047696437	See?
uiug.30112047696437	See?
uiug.30112047696437	See?
uiug.30112047696437	So that ’s why she dis- appeared?"
uiug.30112047696437	So then you lit the fire for me?
uiug.30112047696437	Some scandal what?
uiug.30112047696437	Sounds well, do n’t it?
uiug.30112047696437	Suppose I could tell you what you ask, could it serve any good end for you to know?
uiug.30112047696437	Suppose you was to patch it up with him, Sir Wilton?

uiug.30112047696437	That ’d want consecrating again, sir, I suppose? ” “ I suppose it would. ” “ Would the bishop do it, think you?
uiug.30112047696437	The thing had gone on for ten minutes or more when the outcry altered in character: an interrup- tion had occurred: was it the police?
uiug.30112047696437	Then cried Carlton in his voice of command: 6o Peccavi “ You see that? ” said Mr. Carlton, pointing to this moisture.
uiug.30112047696437	Then we kill this mornin ’. ” “ May I wait and watch?
uiug.30112047696437	Then what could it mean?
uiug.30112047696437	Then what had the reverend to say to it, now that he was suspended for five years?
uiug.30112047696437	This poor young woman, I gather, was the daughter of a prominent parishioner?
uiug.30112047696437	To force you, a clergyman, to remain in your own parish, labouringlike a convict by the year together?
uiug.30112047696437	To have you boycotted right and left?
uiug.30112047696437	To prevent you from making the one reparation in your power?
uiug.30112047696437	To trample the cloth under- foot in the eyes of all the world? ” “ Oh, ” groaned Carlton, “ it was I who did that!
uiug.30112047696437	To trump up acriminal charge?
uiug.30112047696437	Was a child of four too young to keep a secret?
uiug.30112047696437	Was he relenting?
uiug.30112047696437	What I want to know, and what I mean to know, is this: did my — that young woman lying there — confess to you or did she not?
uiug.30112047696437	What could have happened to the dog?
uiug.30112047696437	What day is this? ” “ Wednesday. ” Musk did not know what he was saying, but the cool question had elicited a correct though unconscious reply.
uiug.30112047696437	What has killed the girl?"
uiug.30112047696437	What is there to be said?
uiug.30112047696437	What return was he Offered for his money?
uiug.30112047696437	What should I ha ’ done without you, reverend?
uiug.30112047696437	What the dickens do you mean by setting fire to'the church? ” “ Me set fire to it, Master Sidney P Me set a church afireP He!
uiug.30112047696437	What was he doing?
uiug.30112047696437	What was this about the church that had been burnt down?
uiug.30112047696437	What ’s it all mean? ” And there was a knowing curl about the corners of his mouth.
uiug.30112047696437	What ’s the matter with her? ” Tom hardly knew.
uiug.30112047696437	Where should I be if I ’d been swallerun London fogs and adulterated milk and butter all my life?
uiug.30112047696437	Which is his winder? ” “ That there near the end.
uiug.30112047696437	Who is going to rebuild it for them? ” Carlton was on his feet in the last excitement.
uiug.30112047696437	Who is it you think she may have told?
uiug.30112047696437	Who would thank him for building a church in the heart Of the country?
uiug.30112047696437	Who ’s going to win the Leger, doctor?
uiug.30112047696437	Why had he never been harassed in this way before?
uiug.30112047696437	Why had she thought of him this morning, and why had the thought been so strong?
uiug.30112047696437	Why should he come where there is none?
uiug.30112047696437	Why should he give towards the church?
uiug.30112047696437	Why, to- day of all days, had she been unable to resist?
uiug.30112047696437	With what object, pray?
uiug.30112047696437	Woman?
uiug.30112047696437	Would it also be denied?
uiug.30112047696437	Would the Reverend Preston at Linkworth?
uiug.30112047696437	Would the Reverend Scrope at Burton Mills?
uiug.30112047696437	Would ’ ee like to listen, Mr. Jones?
uiug.30112047696437	Yet who was he to judge his fellows?
uiug.30112047696437	You shall never regret it, Busby; only do n’t you tell anybody I ’ve had one — do you hear?
uiug.30112047696437	You ’re never going up to the rectory?
uiug.30112047696437	\Vhat ’s this? ” cried Sir Wilton, who was beaming, and good- naturedly concerned to see the tears starting to his brother ’s child ’s eyes.
uiug.30112047696437	_ “ In trouble, eh?
uiug.30112047696437	all the way from the Flint House?
uiug.30112047696437	there no eggs P ” ‘ “ Eggs?
uiug.30112047696437	will you take your hands off him, or am I to break your blasted head?
uiug.30112047696437	‘ Unhung?
uiug.30112047696437	“ A church. ” “ What ’s a church?"
uiug.30112047696437	“ A lot you ’ve done to make me respect it, have n’t you?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Against the reverend? ” inquired he.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Alone?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Am I so much changed? ” asked Gwynneth, smiling gallantly.
uiug.30112047696437	“ And did you decline?
uiug.30112047696437	“ And did you decline? ” repeated Carlton, in identically the same voice as before.
uiug.30112047696437	“ And have you been bad? ” inquired the sexton.
uiug.30112047696437	“ And now what?
uiug.30112047696437	“ And now what? ” said he.
uiug.30112047696437	“ And returned to give birth to her child?
uiug.30112047696437	“ And so the very next day was last Friday, the 18th of August?"
uiug.30112047696437	“ And what ’s to become of the parish for the next five years?
uiug.30112047696437	“ And who sent you here, Georgie? ” “ Nobody di’n’t. ” “ Then how have you come P ” “ By my own self, course. ” “ What!
uiug.30112047696437	“ And yet, Sir Wilton, in a manner 0 ’ speaking, you might say as he deserved it, too?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Before whom did you ‘ lay ’ it?
uiug.30112047696437	“ But how the devil did it come out?
uiug.30112047696437	“ But is there anybody here who could nurse the boy? ” “ Only myself, ” said Carlton, who had been quiet and quick to help all the afternoon.
uiug.30112047696437	“ But perhaps that ’s the same job, sir? ” he added, hopefully.
uiug.30112047696437	“ But what has he done?
uiug.30112047696437	“ But what was the good of comun when I could n’t come for good?
uiug.30112047696437	“ But you mean to make that an impos- sibility?
uiug.30112047696437	“ By the way, Tom, who were those fellows you used to work for in Lakenhall? ” “ Tait& Taplin, Sir Wilton. ” A note was taken of the names.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Ca n’t you see?"
uiug.30112047696437	“ Did anything hit him, Ivey?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Did you ever offer her marriage? ” he asked abruptly.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Did you not tell her father this?"
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you kill your own sheep? ” inquired Mr. Carlton.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you know the oath I took, there at that open grave, when all the tomfoolery was over, and that Jesuit jerry- builder had taken his hook?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you know what I've vowed? ” he pre- sently went on.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you know who it is? ” he cried.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you mean that you are going away? ” he said; and his tone did not conceal his disappointment.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you mean that you have? ” cried he.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you mean to say that you do n’t even yet recognise that it ’s mine too, as rector of the parish?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you mean to say you know who has done it? ” cried the bishop.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you mind what I had inside me last year?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you never go to one? ” he asked; but his tone was nearly all remorse.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Do you think that ’s the way to get me to do anything?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Fall? ” said he, with his foolish eyes wide open.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Gord love yer, Mr. Sidney, do you stand there and tell me you have n’t heard?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Gord love yer, reverend, did you think I meant you.?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Has anything happened to him, then? ” he faltered, sick at heart.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Have you got a job, Tom?"
uiug.30112047696437	“ He would have all the danger to himself. ” “ Then you could not see what use he made of the water? ” suggested the chairman, dryly.
uiug.30112047696437	“ How can you like being with a person you ’ve never seen before? ” asked Carlton, tremulous again, for all his strength.
uiug.30112047696437	“ How could you know?"
uiug.30112047696437	“ How long is this tomfoolery to go on? ” said he.
uiug.30112047696437	“ I ask because it reads to me — don’t you know?
uiug.30112047696437	“ I have heard nothing on that subject as yet; it is a little early, is it not?
uiug.30112047696437	“ I reminded you pretty often about the lamps after that?
uiug.30112047696437	“ I say, Frost, is there any hurry for a quarter Of an hour?
uiug.30112047696437	“ I thought you wanted to get at the truth?
uiug.30112047696437	“ I ’ve tried salts, I ’ve tried a ’ metic, an ’ what else can I try?
uiug.30112047696437	“ In your study, sir. ” I68 His own Lawyer “ And what were you doing there?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Is he here still? ” demanded the prisoner.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Is it true?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Loud enough to be heard all over the house?
uiug.30112047696437	“ May I ask him two or three questions? ” said the prisoner, addressing himself with courtesy to the bench.
uiug.30112047696437	“ May I ask what is going on? ” inquired Carlton.
uiug.30112047696437	“ May I come in, reverend?
uiug.30112047696437	“ May I come no further? ” he said.
uiug.30112047696437	“ May I now claim the indulgence of the court for a very few minutes? ” asked the clergyman in the dock.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Mean? ” said the saddler; “ there ’s more than you want to know that, Mr. Sidney, but want must be their master.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Miss Gleedf? ” said Robert Carlton, raising his hat before it covered his grey hairs.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Molly?
uiug.30112047696437	“ My brethren — once my friends — will you never, never be my friends again?
uiug.30112047696437	“ No, I see you have n’t; there are your gloves. ” “ Yes. ” “ Been for a walk?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Oh, where did you find that?
uiug.30112047696437	“ On the tramp, are you? ” Carlton did not choose to reply.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Only a cold? ” “ Oh, yes — that ’s all. ” “ Then you ’ve not been as bad as me!
uiug.30112047696437	“ Only for ourselves. ” “ When do you kill?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Plenty of work, I hope? ” “ Well, not just lately, Sir Wilton. ” “ Good!
uiug.30112047696437	“ SO you take an interest in this little chap, Miss Gleed?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Separate or collective?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Shall I make you a new face, Georgie?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Sir Wilton Gleed, I think?
uiug.30112047696437	“ So you are quite determined that I shall not rebuild the church?
uiug.30112047696437	“ So you ’re thinking of my defence, are you?
uiug.30112047696437	“ That you, Ivey? ” he called.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Then what do you say? ” “ Less than anybody else, a good deal less, ” declared the squire.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Then what on earth am I to do? ” “ Get him inhibited and make him resign.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Tom, ” he cried, “ how can I thank you — — —? ” “ Keep your thanks to yourself. ” “ But — Tom ” “ Do n’t ‘ Tom ’ me!
uiug.30112047696437	“ Tom?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Was n’t there a question of repairs some time since?
uiug.30112047696437	“ We are not all alike, Mr. Fuller, ” he said; “ thank God, I am but one out of many thousands. ” “ You?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Well, Busby, what are you bothering about? ” “ The frog, doctor.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Well, Fuller,"said he, “ who are they burying?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Well, then, he wo n’t be angry to- day, I know he wo n’t. ” “ How do you know, Georgie?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What I ask is, why should you insist upon building it up single- handed? ” “ I did n’t insist originally, ” sighed Carlton.
uiug.30112047696437	“ What are you buildin', I say? ” he now inquired.
uiug.30112047696437	“ What are you makin ’, I say?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What can it signify which church I go to, what difference can it possibly make?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What did she die of?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What did you say? ” “ I said it was like him, too, the blackguard!
uiug.30112047696437	“ What have I done?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What have I done? ” he was muttering.
uiug.30112047696437	“ What if I ’ve modified mine?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What is it? ” “ Paraffin!
uiug.30112047696437	“ What is the matter, Gwynneth?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What other builders and stone-> masons have we in the district — near enough to undertake some work here?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What was this condition, Sir Wilton?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What — by himself?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What ’s done it, Sir?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What ’s he been doing?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What ’s the use of talking? ” exclaimed the squire.
uiug.30112047696437	“ What ’s this?
uiug.30112047696437	“ What, not after you had given your word?
uiug.30112047696437	“ When did you find me?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Who sent you after me? ” “ Mr.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Who ’s to pay a man to do your work?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Whose business have you been minding, little woman? ” “ It was about Mr. Carlton, ” the child said with a sob.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Why must you insult me?
uiug.30112047696437	“ Yes — the man who did it before. ” “ But was that ever known? ” “ No; but I knew.
uiug.30112047696437	“ Yes, here I are, ” said Georgie, “ and I wish you would make lovely, lovely faces out of bwick. ” “ Not run away again, I hope?
uiug.30112047696437	“ You agree with him?
uiug.30112047696437	“ You can hear it P You can hear it?
uiug.30112047696437	“ You do n’t mean to say you ’ve been up to the church talking to — to Carlton? ” he cried.
uiug.30112047696437	“ You have n’t been here all the morning, have, 359 An Escape you? ” he went on.

uiug.30112055268970	‘ Did you know him, Monsieur l’Abbé?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Did you ‘ give the men their extra allowance?"
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Do any of them speak English, I wonder?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Do n’t you see? ’ he said, with his eyes dancing.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Do n’t you think I know a Prussian when I see one?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Do you propose that I should do this? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Gone?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Has monsieur made inquiries at the station? ’ ‘ ‘ Yes, they tell me the same thing.

uiug.30112055268970	‘ Is Monsieur le Colonel Lepard stopping here?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Is it a piano? ’ I asked.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Is she well, monsieur?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ It will cheer Ma’m’selle to know that someone wants to help her. ’ ‘ God bless you, Jeannel How soon will you see her?

uiug.30112055268970	‘ Monsieur is not long in Paris, perhaps?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Monsieur is stopping in the neighbourhood? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ No trace has been found of Monsieur Boussel, I suppose?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ No, I do not like those gentlemen of the long robe. ’ ‘ Why, what have they done to you?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ No, he ’s coming round, but it was a pretty close shave. ’ ‘ What was it?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ No, the other, the madman. ’ ‘ But how gone, Vaurel?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Not bad, ’ he said, ‘ but the life is dulll ’ ‘ Not so lively, you think, as Paris?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Now under what guise shall I come? ’ ‘ I was thinking — you might be an English friend of my mother ’s — Stay!
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Now who the deuce is that?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Now,_how can I help you, Mademoiselle?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Perhaps you can tell me where to find M. Louis Bidard?

uiug.30112055268970	‘ Shall I put you to any inconvenience, Mademoiselle Jeanne, if I stay here a day or two? ’ I asked.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Shall I see you again,'I wonder?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ That will bring him as fast as he can come, ’ I said, ‘ but you must add your name. ’ ‘ In full?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Thousand devilsl What is it, you crazy buffoon?"
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Was all this necessary? ’ she whispered, with a mingling of remonstrance and laughter in her voice.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Well, Jeanne, you have fared well?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Well, monsieur, and what are your questions? ’ he asked gruf'fly.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ What does he want here?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ What is it Monsieur requires of me?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ What was the shooting? ’ I asked.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ What will become of him and who is he?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ What will they do if they catch him?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ What ’s happened?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Whatever will Vaurel do? ’ asked Denise, as soon as we were alone.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ When I told her that, she asked, “ Does he believe Gaston guilty?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Why are they so pleased?

uiug.30112055268970	‘ Would n’t they?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Would you not play as something?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ Yes. ’ ‘ And they did not find him?)
uiug.30112055268970	‘ You are employed at the station?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ You do not believe he has done this thing?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ You expected to walk into the Convent of the Sacred Heart on pr'esentation of your card?
uiug.30112055268970	‘ You have news for me? ’ she asked.
uiug.30112055268970	‘ You here yet, Dayrell?

uiug.30112055268970	’ I dare n’t think what Mademoiselle feels about all this. ’ ’ was she frightened?

uiug.30112055268970	’ ‘ Will we?

uc1.b4003617	..:'vtillit V. imeti · 09777 OF THE OTHEOSTY 14 CA: F**I!!!? uc1.b4003617 A blonde doll? ” the man said as his glance slid to a skinny youth who had tipped his chair back against the wall.
uc1.b4003617	Am I late? ” “ Not very,he said, and then he had her by the arm, turning her toward the doorway and the headwaiter.
uc1.b4003617	And anyway who says it had anything to do with mur- der? uc1.b4003617 And suppose I use it?"
uc1.b4003617	Any connection between the two?
uc1.b4003617	Anybody in there? ” he demanded. uc1.b4003617 Are you going to Bayview?"
uc1.b4003617	Around nine thirty. ” “ So what did you do between eight thirty and nine thirty?
uc1.b4003617	Boston? ” Murdock asked. uc1.b4003617 Charlie had a gun. ”"How do you know? ” “ He told me.
uc1.b4003617	Did you write this note for me?
uc1.b4003617	Do n't give you much room, do they?
uc1.b4003617	Home. ”Alone? ” “ I'm afraid so, Lieutenant. ”"I phoned him at around seven thirty, ” Murdock said.
uc1.b4003617	How big is Julie London's voice?
uc1.b4003617	How well did you know her? ” “ Well- I saw her nearly every day for a few minutes.
uc1.b4003617	How well? ” “ She used to work in the business office before she got married. uc1.b4003617 I did. ”"How well?"
uc1.b4003617	I guess they did, did n't they? uc1.b4003617 I guess your deal went through. ” “ What deal? ”"You could n't go out on the town with me.
uc1.b4003617	If it was the boyfriend, ” Murdock said, “ why steal the jewelry? ” “ Maybe this guy bought some of it and figured we could trace it to him. uc1.b4003617 Is that all there was to it? ” “ That's all.
uc1.b4003617	Is that so? ” His glance came back and his tone was flat, noncommittal and, to one who did not know him, quite possibly disconcerting. uc1.b4003617 Is there any way you can prove you were in Boston? ” Darrow cleared his throat.
uc1.b4003617	It was n't your idea, was it? uc1.b4003617 Like what? ”"He pawned the ring."
uc1.b4003617	Like what?
uc1.b4003617	Money was important to her, is that it? ” “ Very.
uc1.b4003617	Now?
uc1.b4003617	Oh? ” Silence. uc1.b4003617 Okay to go in and get a drink? ” “ Sure,"said Felix.
uc1.b4003617	That your car?
uc1.b4003617	That's a.38 R& R, is n't it, George? uc1.b4003617 This one? ” Emerly moved as he spoke and the revolver was in his hand.
uc1.b4003617	Was that you yelling, Lucille? ” the big one said. uc1.b4003617 What do you mean, prove?"
uc1.b4003617	What makes it important? ”I'll tell you.
uc1.b4003617	What the devil are you talking about? ” Emerly said. uc1.b4003617 When? ”"In the morning.
uc1.b4003617	When?
uc1.b4003617	Where'd you have dinner, Mr. Darrow? ”I did n't eat until I got to the club.
uc1.b4003617	Where've you been? ” Emerly said. uc1.b4003617 Where? ”"At her place."
uc1.b4003617	Who says so besides you? ” “ Nobody. uc1.b4003617 Who's the cigarette girl? ”"Lucille Dunn.
uc1.b4003617	You have to get around and hope for the breaks. ” “ And you'll introduce me to your editor? uc1.b4003617 You made copies of them? ” he asked softly.
uc1.b4003617	You okay, Mac? ” he said to Murdock. uc1.b4003617 You're not sore, are you? ” she said.
uc1.b4003617	'” “ Well — a woman would n't be doing it, would she? ” Murdock thought it over, no longer doubting her and searching for some answer.
uc1.b4003617	... Do you know our district attorney- Mr. O'Brien? ” Murdock said hello and found a chair.
uc1.b4003617	... You're a married man, are n't you? ” he added quickly.
uc1.b4003617	A tie- clip, was n't it? ” Murdock lit a cigarette and sat down at the desk.
uc1.b4003617	After a pause he said: “ What else have you got that's interesting?"
uc1.b4003617	All Hazel had to do was use her wits and make sure the things she did were what your husband wanted most. ” “ Was n't that rather presumptuous?"
uc1.b4003617	All right if I sit down a minute? ” Murdock's eyes widened; then he grinned.
uc1.b4003617	And do this, will you?
uc1.b4003617	And then I thought: Suppose the man is still waiting?
uc1.b4003617	Any idea where I could find her?"
uc1.b4003617	Anything under ninety was a satisfactory game for either, and now when Markey said: “ Same game? ” Murdock said: “ Yeah.
uc1.b4003617	Are you playing cop now?
uc1.b4003617	Are you working? ”"Reading.
uc1.b4003617	As soon as I take off you can telephone the Bayview police. ” “ Yeah, but- what do I tell'em? ” “ Tell them the truth.
uc1.b4003617	At my apartment. ”"Alone? ” “ Right.
uc1.b4003617	Back to school? ” “ School? ” She laughed shortly.
uc1.b4003617	Back to school? ” “ School? ” She laughed shortly.
uc1.b4003617	Berry down- stairs? ” Murdock said he was.
uc1.b4003617	But assuming I did finger the job, what was the mistake? ” “ It just happened that a print of that negative had been made.
uc1.b4003617	But what had the girl been doing out on the highway in the first place?
uc1.b4003617	Did you get the call? ” “ Yeah,"said Murdock dryly.
uc1.b4003617	Do you know a musi- cian named Paul Herrick? ”"Sure.
uc1.b4003617	Do you really think you know who killed Hazel? ” “ It's only a hunch so far, ” Murdock said, “ but I think we can work it out.
uc1.b4003617	Do you think it has anything to do with Hazel Franklin? ”"Could be."
uc1.b4003617	Do you two know each other?
uc1.b4003617	Do you want to get it, Kent? ” Murdock rose and retrieved his gun.
uc1.b4003617	Do you want to get un- dressed and put on a robe now or have a couple of drinks first? ” He could feel her stiffen and pull back.
uc1.b4003617	Does that mean you're off for Florida? ” She nodded, her eyes fixed straight ahead.
uc1.b4003617	Emerly?
uc1.b4003617	Emerly?"
uc1.b4003617	Even if the license number was his it would prove noth- ing, so why should anyone care?
uc1.b4003617	Florida. ”"When? ”"Soon, I think.
uc1.b4003617	Franklin?"
uc1.b4003617	Fric- tion?
uc1.b4003617	From the motel?
uc1.b4003617	Get tired of that room?"
uc1.b4003617	Had this been the idea from the beginning?
uc1.b4003617	Have you ever seen this Mrs. Darrow?
uc1.b4003617	Have you got it? ” Charlie was still unconvinced, but he agreed.
uc1.b4003617	Have you got the story there?"
uc1.b4003617	He could follow me to another hotel, could n't he?
uc1.b4003617	Here they hesitated while the big man said: “ Did you say toss, Lucille? ” “ Yes,"said the girl in the same flat tone.
uc1.b4003617	His wife says he got to the apartment between nine fifteen and nine twenty. ” “ How does that check out? ” Murdock asked.
uc1.b4003617	How about seven o'clock? ” “ Righto.
uc1.b4003617	How could you? ”"I stopped by her apartment tonight, ” Murdock said, and then he was explaining why he had gone there and how he had entered.
uc1.b4003617	How did she happen to be there and who thought up the gimmick about the fresh boyfriend?
uc1.b4003617	How much for the next? ”"Fifteen hundred."
uc1.b4003617	How often did you see him?"
uc1.b4003617	How well do you know Herrick? ”"Not too well. ” “ Emerly? ” “ For years.
uc1.b4003617	How well do you know Herrick? ”"Not too well. ” “ Emerly? ” “ For years.
uc1.b4003617	How's that for a start? ” She watched the waiter put down the drinks; then lifted her glass.
uc1.b4003617	I do n't like being pushed around. ” “ Who does? ” Darrow shrugged and examined the end of his cigar.
uc1.b4003617	I do n't want that to happen, you know what I mean? ” Murdock nodded and took a breath.
uc1.b4003617	I had a trio down there last winter and spring. ”"She came to Boston in April? ” 68 THE BIG GAMBLE:"Around there."
uc1.b4003617	I look after some children for a family that have a summer place. ”"Then what?
uc1.b4003617	I see her come in but I did n't watch her register. ” “ Alone? ” “ N-0.
uc1.b4003617	I think the job was fingered and you made one mistake. ” “ Why me?
uc1.b4003617	I thought if the police started looking for a prowler I'd be safe enough. ” “ When did Charlie see you? ”"He saw me walking away from the place.
uc1.b4003617	I work. ” “ Doing what? ” She hesitated so long he wondered if she had heard him.
uc1.b4003617	I'd like to find out if he has any money in the bank. ” “ What bank? ” “ I do n't know. ” “ Hah.
uc1.b4003617	I've got an agent. ” “ How much is that? ” “ Ten per cent.
uc1.b4003617	If he had that jewelry all the time, why try to 140 THE BIG GAMBLE get two hundred and fifty bucks out of the Courier?
uc1.b4003617	Is he expecting you? ”"Just tell him Kent Murdock is here. ” “ Well — I'll see. ” She stood and opened the door.
uc1.b4003617	It was nearly dark, was n't it?
uc1.b4003617	It was part of a set. ”"The cuff links have blue stones in the center? ” “ Small sapphires. ” She rose and glanced again at the clip.
uc1.b4003617	Just before he disappeared behind the car he said:"You got the message, Murdock? ”"I heard you."
uc1.b4003617	Just remember that I've got a little something extra working for me. ” “ Yeah? ” said Bacon.
uc1.b4003617	Just what did you mean by that? ” Murdock knew the interview was over and he rose and moved closer to her.
uc1.b4003617	Kind of cute, hunh? ” “ Very."
uc1.b4003617	Maybe you'll be in Florida some time this winter. ” “ I might at that. ” “ Will you look me up?
uc1.b4003617	Maybe, you understand?
uc1.b4003617	No emotional prob- lem there? ” “ Good God, no! ” Emerly laughed shortly.
uc1.b4003617	No spon- THE BIG GAMBLE 143 sors smart enough to back a program like this- or too smart because they thought the appeal was so limited?
uc1.b4003617	Nothing there that helps. ”"Any relatives? ”"A brother.
uc1.b4003617	Now what about tomorrow?
uc1.b4003617	Now you sold the first story based on Franklin's old idea for twelve hundred and fifty bucks, right?
uc1.b4003617	Oh, by the way, do you know Paul Herrick? ” “ Over at the Blue Heron?
uc1.b4003617	Oh, by the way, do you know Paul Herrick? ” “ Over at the Blue Heron?
uc1.b4003617	Okay? ”.
uc1.b4003617	Or do you want something more elegant? ” “ Murphy's will be fine. ”"Shall I pick you up?"
uc1.b4003617	Or do you want something more elegant? ” “ Murphy's will be fine. ”"Shall I pick you up?"
uc1.b4003617	Or should he return them to Paul Herrick?
uc1.b4003617	Right? ” Murdock nodded and watched the man walk away..
uc1.b4003617	See you tomorrow, hunh? ” Terry was in the hall before he knew it.
uc1.b4003617	Sexy?
uc1.b4003617	Shall we go in here?"
uc1.b4003617	She ai n't dead? ” Murdock looked again at the arms and hands, which were resting on the rug, head high, the fingers curled slightly inward.
uc1.b4003617	She recognized her husband's stuff and came up here and threatened you? ” “ That's right."
uc1.b4003617	She said she'd see me Monday. ”"Who else was she seeing? ” “ Nobody that I know of. ” O'Brien refused to buy the statement.
uc1.b4003617	She was a good- looking number, hunh? ” “ Very. ” “ Then it was a cinch you'd buy the story."
uc1.b4003617	She's got one copy and I've got the other. ” “ So what ’re you worried about?
uc1.b4003617	So if you still want to, I'll buy half of the proposition. ” “ Which half? ” “ The dinner.
uc1.b4003617	So that was it?
uc1.b4003617	So where the hell was it?
uc1.b4003617	So who did you steal it for? ”"I do n't know what you're talking about. ” Murdock glanced about the room.
uc1.b4003617	Suppose he's watching me now?
uc1.b4003617	Sure. ”"Did n't he just leave here? ”"I did n't see him. ”"I thought I saw him driving out."
uc1.b4003617	THE BIG GAMBLE 127 “ Where do you live? ” He watched her write down the address, and it hap- pened that he noticed his wrist watch.
uc1.b4003617	THE BIG GAMBLE 207 “ How could they do that? ” he asked.
uc1.b4003617	THE BIG GAMBLE 55 “ But just for business reasons, huh?
uc1.b4003617	THE BIG GAMBLE 9 this ack aere Ore “ Were you in the accident? ” “ No.
uc1.b4003617	That 106 THE BIG GAMBLE Franklin woman was n't too husky, was she?
uc1.b4003617	That is, if you want to be a singer. ” “ Oh? ” A little curious now.
uc1.b4003617	The chief's waiting for you. ”"Is he sore? ”"A little."
uc1.b4003617	The only thing is she pesters the hell out of me. ”"Ohpes “ Wants to be a singer. ”"Can she? ”"A little.
uc1.b4003617	The stories I used were n't mine, but whose were they?
uc1.b4003617	The wound was ei- ther contact or very close to it. ” “ So what?
uc1.b4003617	Then I drove down here. ”"Any particular reason why? ” O'Brien asked.
uc1.b4003617	Then why should he kill himself? ”"Because it got too big for him.
uc1.b4003617	They photograph'em these days, ” “ With a Recordak. ”"Is that what they call those machines?
uc1.b4003617	They were worthless as they were, and if he'd been alive we could have split fifty- fifty. ”"There had n't been any divorce? ” Murdock said.
uc1.b4003617	They'll say:'What the hell did she do for you to earn that kind of dough?'
uc1.b4003617	This period when you were friendly- was this in Boston? ” “ No, New York.
uc1.b4003617	Tips that give them information, or a story? ” Murdock's feeling of easy amiability fled instantly with that question.
uc1.b4003617	To make an appointment with Hazel?
uc1.b4003617	To temporize he said:"Have you asked them about it?"
uc1.b4003617	Was n't he the one you introduced me to down at Bayview? ”"He's the one."
uc1.b4003617	Was that business about the fresh boyfriend just part of the act?
uc1.b4003617	Was that you, Eddie? ” “ Could be, ” Eddie said.
uc1.b4003617	We'd like to know where you were be- fore that? ” “ How long before that? ” “ All evening."
uc1.b4003617	We'd like to know where you were be- fore that? ” “ How long before that? ” “ All evening."
uc1.b4003617	We're trying to raise him in New York. ” “ What about her bank account? ” “ We checked that too."
uc1.b4003617	Well, can you get a boy to bring it to my place? ”"I'll bring it myself, ” Terry said.
uc1.b4003617	What about the letters he had taken from Hazel Frank- lin's apartment and which were now locked in the center drawer of the desk?
uc1.b4003617	What am I, a magician? ” “ You can try.
uc1.b4003617	What did she say?"
uc1.b4003617	What did you do?
uc1.b4003617	What happened at the Lynn?
uc1.b4003617	What happened to it?
uc1.b4003617	What kind of a lead is this? ”"It'll take a while. ”"I told you I had time."
uc1.b4003617	What kind of woman was she, Mr. Emerly? ”"Difficult. ”"Hard to get along with? ”"I thought so."

uc1.b4003617	What time do you think? ” Charlie considered this.
uc1.b4003617	What time is it? ” THE BIG GAMBLE 163 address and maybe you can come to Florida this winter.
uc1.b4003617	What was he supposed to call you about? ” Murdock knew he had to be explicit now and he knew what Bacon's reaction would be.
uc1.b4003617	What ’re your plans for tomorrow? ” he said, glancing at Murdock and Emerly.
uc1.b4003617	What's his name? ” “ Leslie. ” Darrow lowered his chin and studied Murdock from beneath the hat brim.
uc1.b4003617	What's the address of this room? ” He wrote down the street number Charlie gave him.
uc1.b4003617	When do you want to come down?
uc1.b4003617	When had he used it last?
uc1.b4003617	When he finished he said: “ Do you want to put somebody on the story?
uc1.b4003617	When he finished he said: “ What've you found out this morning at this end? ”"A few little things."
uc1.b4003617	When he had a light, Darrow puffed a moment and then said: “ What's bugging you, Murdock?
uc1.b4003617	When she did n't show up I got worried and ducked over to the motel. ” “ That was when I saw you driving out, was n't it?
uc1.b4003617	When the eyes remained evasive, he said: “ When'd you get up? ” “ This morning.
uc1.b4003617	When ’re you leaving? ” “ I can wait a half hour or so. ”"Okay.
uc1.b4003617	When, exactly, did you see her last?"
uc1.b4003617	Where can I reach you later?
uc1.b4003617	Where was he around nine? ”"He had dinner with a guy.
uc1.b4003617	Where'll you be in- say another hour or so? ”"I'll be right here all afternoon."
uc1.b4003617	Where's the strain? ”"The thing to do is tell them the truth? ”"Certainly."
uc1.b4003617	Where's the strain? ”"The thing to do is tell them the truth? ”"Certainly."
uc1.b4003617	Where've you been keeping yourself? ” Jack Fenner was a long- time friend of Murdock's.
uc1.b4003617	Where? ”"Have n't you any idea where you lost it? ” “ If I had I would n't be asking."
uc1.b4003617	Where? ”"Have n't you any idea where you lost it? ” “ If I had I would n't be asking."
uc1.b4003617	Whether they get printed or not is not up to me. ” “ Who knows you took it besides you and me?
uc1.b4003617	Who could?
uc1.b4003617	Who's this? ” THE BIG GAMBLE 151 “ Murdock. ” “ Well, well.
uc1.b4003617	Who's this? ”"I do n't know if you know me by name or not, ” Murdock said.
uc1.b4003617	Why bother with me?"
uc1.b4003617	Why else would anyone come here and kill him?"
uc1.b4003617	Why else would he have driven to the motel later?
uc1.b4003617	Why should you do that unless she could prove the original stories were Franklin's? ” He had Emerly's interest now.
uc1.b4003617	Why the hell should he do that? ” THE BIG GAMBLE 139 Bacon pointed at the table and Murdock saw the gun there.
uc1.b4003617	Why the hell was it, he asked himself morosely, that a guy could n't get music like that on the air anymore?
uc1.b4003617	Why? ”"It looks like this dame had a racket.
uc1.b4003617	With a sidewise glance he said: “ Do you know a guy named George Emerly? ” “ Yes. ”"Paul Herrick? ”"Yep."
uc1.b4003617	With a sidewise glance he said: “ Do you know a guy named George Emerly? ” “ Yes. ”"Paul Herrick? ”"Yep."
uc1.b4003617	You can call. ”"Me? ” “ I'm going back to the paper."
uc1.b4003617	You can get her back here, ca n't you? ” he said to Darrow.
uc1.b4003617	You did n't know he had it when you went there last night, did you?
uc1.b4003617	You figure it has something to do with the murder? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4003617	You got my reservation, did n't you? ” “ Oh, sure.
uc1.b4003617	You in a hurry? ”"If you have n't got anything by tomorrow afternoon for- get it.
uc1.b4003617	You knew the woman, did n't you? ” “ Not well."
uc1.b4003617	You know everybody, do n't you? ” “ Not bankers. ” “ Well, will you try?
uc1.b4003617	You know everybody, do n't you? ” “ Not bankers. ” “ Well, will you try?
uc1.b4003617	You know that film you devel- oped? ” he asked, hoping that Terry would not mention the print.
uc1.b4003617	You know what happened last night at the Pine Grove Motel? ” Darrow leaned back and crossed his knees.
uc1.b4003617	You think we take every- thing for granted?
uc1.b4003617	You took them Saturday night, did n't you?"
uc1.b4003617	You took three, remember? ” Murdock sighed softly.
uc1.b4003617	You want to go over exactly how you found her and what you did, Kent? ”.
uc1.b4003617	You were kidding, were n't you, when you said I could take off my clothes? ”"It was just a thought, ” Murdock said.
uc1.b4003617	You're not broke, are you? ” “ Oh, heavens, no."
uc1.b4003617	You, Herrick, and George. ”"Me? ” Emerly's eyes opened behind the glasses.
uc1.b4003617	· “ When did I see Hazel last? ” He considered a moment.

uc1.b4003617	“ A paper like the Courier sometimes pays for tips, do n't it? ” “ What kind of tips, Charlie? ”"Well- you know.

uc1.b4003617	“ And you want a sack for tonight?
uc1.b4003617	“ Anyone with him? ” 54 THE BIG GAMBLE “ Lieutenant Carlin of the state police. ” He walked over to a door, knocked, stuck his head in.
uc1.b4003617	“ Are you through or just waiting?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Before you go to Florida? ” “ That's what I hope.
uc1.b4003617	“ But can you fill me in a little?
uc1.b4003617	“ But we've met. ”"Have we? ” The voice was still suspicious.
uc1.b4003617	“ Complete with gun? ”"I've made quite a pile, Murdock.
uc1.b4003617	“ Could n't you get a job as an assistant pro somewhere?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Damn it, ” he said, half aloud, “ why do they have to have free radio here?
uc1.b4003617	“ Did n't Charlie Lane tell you why I took off? ” “ Sure he told me."
uc1.b4003617	“ Did she call you? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4003617	“ Did you know she was coming to the motel? ” O'Brien watched Darrow shake his head.
uc1.b4003617	“ Different? ” “ Different, ” Murdock said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Do you know Carl Darrow and George Emerly? ” Fenner nodded.
uc1.b4003617	“ Do you know Murphy's?
uc1.b4003617	“ Do you know who she is? ” “ No.
uc1.b4003617	“ Do you recognize this, Mrs. Darrow? ” “ Why”-she took one look and when her glance came up it held a look of puzzlement-"yes.
uc1.b4003617	“ Do you want something?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Do you want to sit in, Jack? ” he said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Does your family live here? ”"Oh, no.
uc1.b4003617	“ Except for a phone call some time after eight the waiter says he was eating. ” “ When did you start to play?"
uc1.b4003617	“ George? ” he said.
uc1.b4003617	“ He owns part of the Blue Heron. ” “ Who else? ” Carlin said.
uc1.b4003617	“ How about it, George? ” he said.
uc1.b4003617	“ How about me? ” he asked anxiously.
uc1.b4003617	“ How do you figure that? ” “ I've worked for the Courier a long time.
uc1.b4003617	“ How do you know?"
uc1.b4003617	“ How much did you have in mind? ” he asked.
uc1.b4003617	“ How much is the pawn ticket for?"
uc1.b4003617	“ How much longer? ” Murdock glanced at his watch.
uc1.b4003617	“ How much money did he want this noon? ”"He said he'd like to get two fifty.
uc1.b4003617	“ How'd it go?"
uc1.b4003617	“ How's Harry this morning? ”"Harry who? ” “ He did n't give me his last name but you know who I mean.
uc1.b4003617	“ How's Harry this morning? ”"Harry who? ” “ He did n't give me his last name but you know who I mean.
uc1.b4003617	“ I beg your pardon. ” “ Why should you say anything at all?
uc1.b4003617	“ I came back, did n't I?
uc1.b4003617	“ I really was hun- gry, was n't I? ” She studied him a moment, the blue eyes serious.
uc1.b4003617	“ I saw you pretty well stripped down once, remember? ”"That's right. ” She giggled, and an incipient blush touched her cheeks.
uc1.b4003617	“ I'm just going off. ” “ Right away? ”"Sure.
uc1.b4003617	“ If you do n't get it you start blasting, is that the way it works? ” “ Not exactly.
uc1.b4003617	“ Is Charlie going to caddy for you?
uc1.b4003617	“ Is there a phone? ” “ Yeah, but it's down on the first floor.
uc1.b4003617	“ It puts my car on the road, but it does n't put me in it. ”"It makes you think again though, does n't it? ” Darrow considered the question.
uc1.b4003617	“ It's no skin off your nose. ” “ She went to the Blue Heron. ” “ Did she go into the club? ” “ Around back, ” Eddie said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Leave this place alone. ”"But- what about the police? ” “ We'll get them.
uc1.b4003617	“ Lucille? ” he said when he heard her voice.
uc1.b4003617	“ Makes you wonder, hunh?
uc1.b4003617	“ Maybe I will some day. ” “ How long since you've played? ” “ A long time.
uc1.b4003617	“ Neil? ” he said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Okay to take Charlie Lane back to the motel with me? ” Nickerson nodded; then he grinned.
uc1.b4003617	“ Okay? ” he said as he started off.
uc1.b4003617	“ Okay?"
uc1.b4003617	“ On Main Street about twenty minutes ago?
uc1.b4003617	“ One has to care enough to try. ” “ You did n't get the divorce you went for, did you?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Or anything in the room?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Really? ” she said, her tone suggesting she could not care less.
uc1.b4003617	“ She thought she'd like to go down there for a divorce. ” “ Because of Mrs. Franklin? ”"That could have been part of it.
uc1.b4003617	“ She- she ai n't dead, is she, Mr. Murdock?
uc1.b4003617	“ Sherlock? ” he said when a voice answered.
uc1.b4003617	“ Since when? ” “ Since June. ”"Oh?
uc1.b4003617	“ Since when? ” “ Since June. ”"Oh?
uc1.b4003617	“ So who was she interested in? ” Emerly thought it over.
uc1.b4003617	“ Still interested? ”"Sure, ” Emerly said.
uc1.b4003617	“ That's my privilege, is n't it? ” He moved over to the door.
uc1.b4003617	“ That's right. ” “ Why did n't you pay her off in the first place?"
uc1.b4003617	“ That's why we're here, is n't it? ” “ The whole thing is sort of complicated, ” Emerly said.
uc1.b4003617	“ The big city. ”"Do you know where I could find her? ” The smiles went away and the eyes grew speculative.
uc1.b4003617	“ The next? ” “ Chronologically the next was my own.
uc1.b4003617	“ The next? ”"Fifteen hundred plus fifteen more for an hour TV show."
uc1.b4003617	“ The one that was with you when you found the woman?"
uc1.b4003617	“ The reason I called was to break the news and ask if you wanted to go back with me. ” “ You mean now?"
uc1.b4003617	“ The ticket was on him. ” “ It could have been planted, could n't it?
uc1.b4003617	“ This guy bothering you? ” said the other.
uc1.b4003617	“ This was Mrs. Franklin's husband? ” Emerly said yes and then he was repeating the details he had given Murdock Saturday night.
uc1.b4003617	“ This way is better, ai n't it, Murdock? ” “ Better than what? ” “ Better than havin'us rip the joint apart.
uc1.b4003617	“ This way is better, ai n't it, Murdock? ” “ Better than what? ” “ Better than havin'us rip the joint apart.
uc1.b4003617	“ This yours, Mr. Murdock?
uc1.b4003617	“ Was Mrs. Darrow at your apartment last night? ” “ She's in Florida."
uc1.b4003617	“ Well, how about coffee?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Well, what did you talk about? ” THE BIG GAMBLE 75 “ This and that.
uc1.b4003617	“ Were you at the Pine Grove Motel at any time Saturday night? ” “ Why- yes. ”"For what reason? ” “ I knew a man who was staying there.

uc1.b4003617	“ What about Darrow?
uc1.b4003617	“ What about the watch? ” “ Platinum studded with diamonds.
uc1.b4003617	“ What about you? ” “ I think it was May, ” Herrick said.
uc1.b4003617	“ What are you doing here? ” Murdock gave her a big smile.
uc1.b4003617	“ What brings you to town?
uc1.b4003617	“ What did you do with the picture? ” rrow 98 THE BIG GAMBLE Murdock hesitated.
uc1.b4003617	“ What dif- ference does it make? ” he said.
uc1.b4003617	“ What do you call that lad outside? ” Darrow moved one thick brow, and a glint of something that might have been amusement touched his eyes.
uc1.b4003617	“ What do you think we are down here, stupes?
uc1.b4003617	“ What do you think you're going to do with that?"
uc1.b4003617	“ What do you want? ”"I want to know what you found out about Charlie Lane's death."
uc1.b4003617	“ What else did he say?"
uc1.b4003617	“ What happens now? ”"To me?
uc1.b4003617	“ What happens now? ”"To me?
uc1.b4003617	“ What is it?
uc1.b4003617	“ What kind? ” She told him and fumbled in her purse for some change.
uc1.b4003617	“ What picture are you talking about?"
uc1.b4003617	“ What picture?
uc1.b4003617	“ What picture?"
uc1.b4003617	“ What the hell happened?
uc1.b4003617	“ What then? ”"I've got a four- week spot in the city, ” Herrick said.
uc1.b4003617	“ What was the message he left tonight? ” He listened as Murdock repeated it.
uc1.b4003617	“ What'll I do with the prints? ” “ Stick them under the blotting pad on my desk and let the negatives dry.
uc1.b4003617	“ What's the lead? ” He held his hand out and Murdock passed over the photo- graph, watching the scowl deepen until Bacon glanced up.
uc1.b4003617	“ What's the matter with her? ” he whispered hoarsely.
uc1.b4003617	“ What? ” “ A newspaper.
uc1.b4003617	“ Where are they? ” He waited.
uc1.b4003617	“ Where did you get it? ”"I found it."
uc1.b4003617	“ Where do you fit? ”"I do n't, ” Fenner said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Where'd you get it? ” “ Just outside my cottage.
uc1.b4003617	“ Where? ”"I'm the guy who got tossed out of your cottage Satur- day night, remember? ” “ Remember?
uc1.b4003617	“ Where? ”"I'm the guy who got tossed out of your cottage Satur- day night, remember? ” “ Remember?
uc1.b4003617	“ Where? ”"I'm the guy who got tossed out of your cottage Satur- day night, remember? ” “ Remember?
uc1.b4003617	“ Which is what we may have to do, Harry. ”"Why do n't you get started then? ” Harry said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Who can?
uc1.b4003617	“ Who did you see? ” The tanned brow was still furrowed and the blue eyes seemed puzzled beneath the mascaraed lashes.
uc1.b4003617	“ Who does he ask for? ” the gunman said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Who wants to know? ”"I'm from the Boston Courier. ” Murdock showed his press card while he improvised.
uc1.b4003617	“ Who's me?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Who's this? ” He covered the mouthpiece with his palm.
uc1.b4003617	“ Whose place is this, Fatso? ”"He's right about the drink, Phil, ” Murdock cut in.
uc1.b4003617	“ Why did you bother my wife?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Why do n't you try to prove it, Lieutenant? ” “ Do n't think we wo n't, ” Carlin said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Why does he have to live here?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Why?
uc1.b4003617	“ Why? ”"Well- I mean- ” Emerly made embarrassed noises in his throat.
uc1.b4003617	“ Would nine o'clock be too late for you? ” “ No- if that's the best you can do."
uc1.b4003617	“ Would you mind stopping so I could get some ciga- rettes?"
uc1.b4003617	“ Yeah. ”"Kent?
uc1.b4003617	“ Yeah? ” a sleepy voice said.
uc1.b4003617	“ Yes. ” “ How come you happened to be here at all? ”"He was supposed to call me at nine o'clock.
uc1.b4003617	“ Yes. ” “ Were you there at any time yesterday? ”"No."
uc1.b4003617	“ Yes. ”"Could I- could you give me a lift? ” The request was so unexpected that Murdock hesitated.
uc1.b4003617	“ You could n't have come to me, could you?
uc1.b4003617	“ You did n't find the.38? ” “ No, but we found a box of shells for it in one of those suitcases."
uc1.b4003617	“ You did n't touch him?"
uc1.b4003617	“ You figure to give her any trouble? ” Felix asked softly.
uc1.b4003617	“ You found it Saturday night, hunh?
uc1.b4003617	“ You got a drink in the place? ” he asked.
uc1.b4003617	“ You got a game? ” he asked finally.
uc1.b4003617	“ You have n't seen her lately?
uc1.b4003617	“ You knew her, Mr. Emerly? ” Emerly sat down and explained what Hazel Franklin had done for him.
uc1.b4003617	“ You know what I think, Darrow?
uc1.b4003617	“ You say this blonde's name is Lucille Dunn?
uc1.b4003617	“ You still have an interest in the Blue Heron? ”!
uc1.b4003617	“ You want a touch before we go?"
uc1.b4003617	“ You want the address? ” Murdock said no, voiced his appreciation, and hung up.
uc1.b4003617	“ You want we should toss him out, Lucille?"
uc1.b4003617	“ You what?
uc1.b4003617	“ You're Murdock, are n't you?
uc1.b4003617	“ You're Murdock, are n't you?
uc1.b4003617	“ You've already checked it. ”"Sure. ” “ What kind of a gun did Charlie have? ” “ A.38 R& R. ” Bacon snorted bruskly.
uc1.b4003617	“ You've got it all figured out, have n't you? ” Emerly said in the same quiet tone.
uc1.b4003617	“ Your name is Murdock and you've got an awful nerve calling me after what you did. ” “ What did I do?"
uc1.aa0003768660	* Well? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	- “ How on earth do you guess that? ” I cried.
uc1.aa0003768660	- “ Nice place, Hong Kong? ” he said.
uc1.aa0003768660	/ I never understood that old tag before to- night. ” “ I hope it is n’t my business that decides you? ” asked the captain.
uc1.aa0003768660	277 “ Why did n’t Trent get her off? ” inquired the cap- tain.
uc1.aa0003768660	83 “ Pinkerton, what nonsense is this? ” I interrupted.
uc1.aa0003768660	? ” whispered Pinkerton, looking reverently after him as he departed.
uc1.aa0003768660	Ai n’t there no more Californians? ” By this time we are drawing near to the appointed spot.
uc1.aa0003768660	Algebra?
uc1.aa0003768660	Am I clear?
uc1.aa0003768660	Amalu?
uc1.aa0003768660	An artist, and straight from Sydney?
uc1.aa0003768660	And by that time, Mr. Dodd, it's ancient history. ” “ That's what they call Shanghaiing, is n’t it? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	And has this change — poor Carthew's return, and all – has this not mended matters? ” “ Well, no, sir, not a sign of it, ” was the reply.
uc1.aa0003768660	And look at the elevator business — there's danger, if you like| Did n’t I take my risk when I bought her?
uc1.aa0003768660	And mining — how ’s that for risk?
uc1.aa0003768660	And now, Mr. Dodd, what are you to do with this money? ” Ay, there was the question.
uc1.aa0003768660	And perhaps you'll be so kind as to tell me what the hell you're doing on my quarter- deck?

uc1.aa0003768660	“ But, my dear dad, what is it all about? ” I inter- rupted.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Buy for all I was worth! ” “ Would that be a safe, conservative business? ” I inquired, as innocent as a lamb.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ By saying disagreeable things?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Ca n't you look at them? ” And he ran a dirty thumb along the title.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Captain Jacob Trent? ” “ Gone, ” said the clerk.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Captain Trent of the wreck?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Captain, sir, I suppose? ” he said, turning to the hard old man in the pith helmet.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Certainly not: why should he? ” was the reply.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Did he? ” said Nares, with a significant dryness.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Did you recognise my Voice ’ ’’ “ Your voice? ” he repeated.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do n’t you see what this British officer says about the safety?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do you call these Dutchmen and Scattermouches'Americans?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do you know whom you have been talking to, Mr. Sebright? ” I began.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do you know, Jim, what I'm sorriest for? ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do you mean to leave her? ” cried the officer.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do you mind asking, or letting me ask?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do you never do anything you're ashamed of? ” I inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Do? ” he cried with glittering eyes.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Does he write many letters? ” I continued.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Ever try the mounted police? ” he inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Good God! ” he cried, “ are you the man in the telephone? ” I nodded.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Had he done anything very bad? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Has he travelled much? ” I inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Has she any claim on you? ” “ O, no, sir.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Have you a telephone laid on to the Tempest? ” asked Pinkerton.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Have you any idea what this would cost? ” he asked, pausing at an item.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Have you driven me before? ” “ Many ’s the time, Mr. Hadden, ” returned the driver.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Have you forgotten the circum- stances of the case?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ He came last night and left again to- day with a satchel. ” “ When did he leave? ” I inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ He took and called me Irishman. ”- “ Did he? ” said Wicks.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ He was quite a stranger to me. ” “ Did he express his baggage, ma'am? ” asked Pin kerton.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Head not big enough. ” “ Ever try the blackmail? ” inquired Havens.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How 2 What do you mean by sacrifice? ” “ I know it'll shock your delicate self- respect, ” he said; “ but what was I to do?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How 2 What do you mean by sacrifice? ” “ I know it'll shock your delicate self- respect, ” he said; “ but what was I to do?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How about the owners? ” “ O, you leave that to me; I ’m one of Longhurst's crowd, you know, ” said Jim, with sudden bristling vanity.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How can I tell you? ” I cried.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How did that pan out? ” pursued the questioner.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How do you mean to manage?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How should I?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ How's that? ” he shouted.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Hullo! ” he plainly thought, “ this is not the ring I ’m fighting, then? ” And he determined to put on a spurt.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I beg your pardon, Loudon, ” began Jim at last, “ but why in snakes did you burn her? ” “ It was an idea of Nares's, ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I do n’t have any friends in Hono- lulu, do n’t you know? ” “ The friend to whom I refer is English, ” I replied.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I do n’t know, on the whole, that I can recome mend that branch of industry. ” “ Did she break up? ” asked some one.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I do n’t require to tell you the game's up? ” Nares asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I do n’t think we were ever very intimate? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I have made my offer, and I wish to sleep. ” “ Is that your last word, sir?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I say, ” he whispered, “ here's a fortune. ” “ How much do you call that? ” asked Carthew.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I suppose all's up? ” said I, with an incredible sinking.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ I think she is really grateful? ” he asked, with some eagerness, as I returned it.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ If we go ahead? ’ Have we any choice, then 2 ” “ I ’m coming to that, ” said Jim.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ In reason? ” repeated the captain of the brig.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ In that black bag? ” “ Guess so, ” he said.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Interested?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is Mr. Sebright on board? ” “ No, sir, he's ashore to- day, ” said the sailor.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is he to lose all? ” “ I beg your pardon, plumber.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is my money mine's, or is it Aadam ’s 7 Can Aadam interfere? ” “ O, I see, ” said Mr. Gregg.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is that cargo out? ” “ No, sir. ” “ None of it 2* “ O, there's some of it out.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is that so, indeed, sir? ” he exclaimed, with unmis- takable excitement.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is that the line? ” XN WHICH THE CREW VANISH.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is that you again, Mr. Bellairs? ” it trilled.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Is the book well known 2 and who was Go- eath?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ It is kind of lonely, is n’t it? ” he said.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ It ought to have been good. ” “ You had a secret? ” asked the Glasgow man.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ It was quite plain you had n't. ” “ What made you so sure? ” asked Mamie.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ It's touching, is n’t it? ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Jim? ” cried I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Just stand by till I fix it up more natural. ” “ Any guess what it all means? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Lawyer Bellairs? ” said the old woman.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Looks as if a fellow could stick his head into it, do n’t it? ” returned Wicks.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Master, ” said I, “ will you take me in your studio again?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ May I have a word with you? ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ No present use for a dollar? ” says Jim.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Not in this still- life here, of the melon?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Not think better of it?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Now, boss! ” he cried, not unkindly, “ is this to be run shipshape?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Now, does this satisfy you, Mr. Dodd? ” he in- quired, as soon as I had explained to him the main features of the design.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ O! ” says Jim, “ this is Captain Nares, is it?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ O! ” she cried, “ am I really like that?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ O, yes, I remember: he was sick all the way to'Frisco, was he not? ” “ Sick, or sorry, or something, ” returned my informant.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ O, you ’ve heard of the sale then? ” said Wicks.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Of course you can go if you like, ” said Myner; “ but I advise you to stay and have it out. ” “ What more is there to say? ” I cried.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ One word, Mr. Borden, ” said he; and then to Jim, “ Well, Pink, where are we up to now? ” Pinkerton gave him the figure.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Only rain- water. ” “ You do n't object to that? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Pinkerton, ” I said, “ ca n’t you understand that, as long as I was there, I never took the smallest interest in any stricken thing?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Pinkerton, ” said I, suddenly, “ have you that Occi- dental in your pocket? ” “ Never left me, ” said Pinkerton, producing the paper.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Qu'- est- ce que vous me chantez la?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Sacrificed me? ” I repeated.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Say, Freshman, ” he said, “ what's your name 7 What?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ See that sandy- haired man in glasses? ” he asked, as if to change the subject, A SOUND COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Shall I strike out?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Shall we go into the papers? ” “ We'll have all to- morrow, you know, ” said Havens; “ and they'll be rather expecting you at the club.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Shall we say Honolulu? ” he inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Shares in what? ” I inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Should n’t we see the list of passengers? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Starve?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Surely I know you? ” said he.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Tell me about him. ” “ What, the Redeeming Feature? ” said he.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Tempest, do n’t you know? ” returned the officer.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ That so? ” said he.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ That you, Bellairs? ” I replied.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ That's the money Trent tramped and traded with?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ The point is, how about these dollars lying on a reef? ” “ Will it pay? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ The point is, how about these dollars lying on a reef? ” “ Will it pay? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Then we bear up for San Francisco. ” “ O, yes, you're from China ways, like us? ” pursued Wicks.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ There were others deeper in. ” “ And who were they? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ There, what do you make of that? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ They know too much by half; and you ca n’t keep them from talking. ” “ Ca n't I? ” returned Nares.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ They ’re not pretty, are they, Mr. Dodd? ” said Nares, as he passed it over.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ This is the city of Petra in Edom. ” “ And what sort of Bedouins encamp among the ruins? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Though I do n’t believe she has anything left to tell. ” “ And who is she? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Was he with the rest in that saloon when you saw them? ” “ I do n’t believe it, ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Was there money in that? ” “ All the way, ” responded Loudon.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well, and where's your station? ” cried Mac.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well, now, and what did you think of Bellairs? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well, then, what ails you? ” I cried.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well, to tell you the truth, I do n’t want to tell you, ” said I; “ for it ’s a thing I ’m ashamed of. ” “ Ashamed, Loudon?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well, what do I care? ” retorted the lady, shaking her ringlets.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well, ” I remember crying once, “ and what is your life?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Well? ” asked Mac, for it was he who still survived in that shambles of a cabin.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What about the men? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What did you say to him? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What did you say your ship was? ” in- quired Wicks.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What do you mean by calling my honesty in question? ” I had cried the day before, turning upon Myner.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What do you mean by calling my honesty in question? ” “ I wo n’t, if you do n’t like it, ” he replied.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What do you mean by that? ” I cried.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What do you mean? ” asked Tommy.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What do you think of them, if you come to that? ” asked Carthew.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What figure, if you please? ” the lawyer asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What has he got to do with it? ” repeated the old man, smiting with his fist upon the arm of his chair.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What in creation ails you? ” I inquired.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What is it that bothers you? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What is this? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What is wrong with you?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What next? ” he cried “ What ails you, anyway?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What next? ” he cried “ What ails you, anyway?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What on earth have you done with it? ” I would ask.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What sort of a place is it inside? ” inquired Trent, sudden as though Wicks had touched a spring.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What the devil's this? ” he whispered.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What was he like, ma'am? ” Pinkerton was asking, when I returned to consciousness of my surroundings.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What was it?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What with the specie from the wreck and the opium money, it comes to a biggish deal. ” “ That's supposing that I do it? ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What's the use — at sea?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What's this thing about?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ What's wrong?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ When did he go? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Where did you find them? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Where has he gone? ” asked Pinkerton.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Where is she bound? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Where shall we find him? ” “ British consulate of course, ” said Jim.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Where's the captain of this —? ” and he left the phrase unfinished, finding no epithet sufficiently ener- getic for his thoughts.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Who can have put up a shyster"like that?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Who were the owners? ” inquired one of the club men.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Who's that? ” one would ask, and the other would cry, “ That!
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why do we want to visit this old ruffian? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why do you always say that? ” asked Tommy.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why do you want to buy the Flying Scud? ” No answer came.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why in snakes did n’t you say so, Loudon? ” cried my friend.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why in snakes should anybody want to be a sculptor, if you come to that?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why, you're never the pilot? ” exclaimed Wicks, studying him with a profound disfavour.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Why?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Ye hear that, Aadam? ” asked my grandfather.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Ye will sit there upon your hinderland. ” “ Then how the devil am I to get him? ” my uncle broke forth, with not unnatural petulance.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Yes,—and why should n't he? ” said I.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You agree with me that Bellairs was ready to go higher? ” I saw where he was coming.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You are fond of poetry, too? ” I asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You could n’t think of offering a man a nip, could you?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You do n’t see any promise? ” he inquired, beguiled by some return of hope, and turning upon me the em- barrassing brightness of his eye.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You do n’t want to keep me here for a needless humiliation? ” “ Look here, Dodd, you must try and command your temper, ” said he.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You have n’t it here?
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You know a man by the name of Bellairs, do n’t you? ” he resumed.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You the master of this ship? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You there, Mr. Dodd? ” he would say, after the obligatory visit to the glass.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You think Paris necessary? ” he asked.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ You were once an outsider like your neighbours, I suppose? ” “ I took hold of that thing, Loudon, and just studied 178 TEE WRECKER.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ Your questions? ” faltered Jim.
uc1.aa0003768660	“ ‘ Sydney Morning Herald, November 26th, ca n’t you make that out? ” he cried, with rising energy.

uva.x001870187	The leather funnel has acted, then?
uva.x001870187	Then Lord Southerton must have died about the same time that I was hurt?
uva.x001870187	Then her influence still holds him?
uva.x001870187	Then it was you who screamed?
uva.x001870187	Then this common leather filler belonged to a marquis?
uva.x001870187	Then what in the world did the thief want?
uva.x001870187	Then, my dear Kennedy, why did you do it?
uva.x001870187	They are ferocious, then?
uva.x001870187	Washing, then, might cleanse it?
uva.x001870187	Well?
uva.x001870187	What a black devil he looks, does n't he? uva.x001870187 What are the symptoms?"
uva.x001870187	What did you dream?
uva.x001870187	What do you know about beetles?
uva.x001870187	What do you make of it?
uva.x001870187	What do you mean, Summers? uva.x001870187 What do you mean?"
uva.x001870187	What does he want?
uva.x001870187	What dreadful business?
uva.x001870187	What has happened, then?
uva.x001870187	What is it?
uva.x001870187	What is the history of that?
uva.x001870187	What other openings are there in the museum?
uva.x001870187	What sort of a question is this? uva.x001870187 What the devil do you mean?"
uva.x001870187	What then?
uva.x001870187	What would happen if the light went out?
uva.x001870187	What's this? uva.x001870187 When did you ever ask me anything that I did not tell you?
uva.x001870187	When would you like to come?
uva.x001870187	Where would the variety of life be without them? uva.x001870187 Where?"
uva.x001870187	Which is?
uva.x001870187	Who's there?
uva.x001870187	Why do you say relapsed?
uva.x001870187	Why should he do it?
uva.x001870187	Will you kindly draw that shutter and look through?
uva.x001870187	Will you speak to him about it?
uva.x001870187	Will you take a glass of wine before you go out into this cold air?
uva.x001870187	Would it not be well to use the knife while it will be painless?
uva.x001870187	Would you call it a cut?
uva.x001870187	Yes, sir?
uva.x001870187	You ca n't wonder that I am fond of him, can you?
uva.x001870187	You devil, what do you mean?
uva.x001870187	You do n't mean that you are yourself a collector?
uva.x001870187	You have had personal experience of this poison?
uva.x001870187	You have heard something?
uva.x001870187	You make it a B?
uva.x001870187	You speak English, I pre- sume?
uva.x001870187	You wanted me to go out, I understand?
uva.x001870187	You will excuse me for an instant, wo n't you?
uva.x001870187	Your servants?
uva.x001870187	'How have you escaped discovery?'
uva.x001870187	'What — at once?"
uva.x001870187	110 THE BRAZILIAN CAT"Is n't he splendid?"
uva.x001870187	276 THE NIGHTMARE ROOM not the man who could bring her peace of mind and contentment of heart?
uva.x001870187	Above all, might it not be the food of life, of monstrous life, even as the humble grease of the ocean is the food for the mighty whale?
uva.x001870187	Are the present precautions enough to insure you against robbery?"
uva.x001870187	Are you prepared to swear to this hand- writing, Miss Morton?
uva.x001870187	At every gathering of airmen, Joyce- Armstrong, according to Dangerfield, would ask, with an enigmatic smile:"And where, pray, is Myrtle's head?"
uva.x001870187	Brown?"
uva.x001870187	But if so, why should he hesitate to warn Mortimer in his own name?
uva.x001870187	But if you did not love her why should you make this great scandal which has damage you and ruined her?"
uva.x001870187	But in that case, how far am I answerable both for his death and for any other mis- hap which may occur?
uva.x001870187	But might it not be the remains of life?
uva.x001870187	But was it not possible that I had attained it?
uva.x001870187	But what do you think of it?
uva.x001870187	But who and what is he?
uva.x001870187	But who, then, is this lady whose appearance was so attractive and whose end was so horrible?"
uva.x001870187	But why should you ex- pect otherwise of me?
uva.x001870187	By the way, Charles, did Evelyn say anything about the date of her return?"
uva.x001870187	By the way, Kennedy, have you any matches?"
uva.x001870187	By the way, did you see a black japanned box in his room?"
uva.x001870187	By the way, have you heard any news of Lord Southerton's health lately?"
uva.x001870187	Can I hope to convey it to you even as I saw it myself last Thursday?
uva.x001870187	Can it be that there is some fact which underlies them, and am I, of all mortals, the one who is chosen to expose it?
uva.x001870187	Can you make out any lettering upon it?"
uva.x001870187	Could I possibly pull it back?
uva.x001870187	Could it indeed be pos- sible that some nameless thing, some dreadful pres- ence, was lurking down yonder?
uva.x001870187	Could you tell where I am?"
uva.x001870187	Did he know his lady's ways and condone them, or was he a mere blind, doting fool?
uva.x001870187	Did you stand it out to the end?"
uva.x001870187	Do n't you think so?"
uva.x001870187	Do n't you, boy?"
uva.x001870187	Do you observe nothing strange at the spout end of the funnel?"
uva.x001870187	Do you observe something drawn a little further along the rim?"
uva.x001870187	Do you really believe — does anybody really believe — that a man's head could be driven clean into his body by the force of a fall?
uva.x001870187	Does that convince you?"
uva.x001870187	First of all, what do you think of Simpson, the porter?"
uva.x001870187	For God's sake what's the mat ter?"
uva.x001870187	Had it caught the scent of me?
uva.x001870187	Hamilton?"
uva.x001870187	He is very exclusive in his friends — aren't you, Tommy?
uva.x001870187	He might have been asking,"What have you done?"
uva.x001870187	Here I was with these precious relics in my possession, and how could I return them without a scandal and an exposure?
uva.x001870187	How could I expose him without injuring her — and how far was I justified in exposing him when he had voluntarily put himself into my power?
uva.x001870187	How could I stave it off until morning?
uva.x001870187	How could I, without striking my own daughter, who was infatuated about him, prevent him from carrying out any plan which he might have formed?
uva.x001870187	How did you get rid of her in three weeks?"
uva.x001870187	How do you prove the two women to be the same?"
uva.x001870187	How shall I describe it?
uva.x001870187	How's that?"
uva.x001870187	I cried,"that quiet, studious, sad- faced man?"
uva.x001870187	I suppose that you have no idea what it was that you have seen?"
uva.x001870187	If he had any such misgivings, why could he not come and tell me direct?"
uva.x001870187	Is it advancing years( after all, I am only thirty- five), or is it this physical malady which has caused degenera- tion?
uva.x001870187	Is it not much more likely that the recent tragedy of the sheep has caused him to take some steps which may have ended in his own destruction?
uva.x001870187	Is there a secret society of colliers, an English Camorra, which is capable of destroying both train and passengers?
uva.x001870187	It was Dacre, and his face showed that he was as frightened as myself"Was that you?
uva.x001870187	Lonely and broken, what else have I in all the world to up- hold me?
uva.x001870187	Might I ask you as a very great favour, when you occupy that couch to- night, to sleep with this old funnel placed by the side of your pillow?"
uva.x001870187	Mr. Humphrey: And how do you know, Miss Morton, that Dr. Lana is not dead?
uva.x001870187	Mr. Humphrey: And the date?
uva.x001870187	Mr. Humphrey: Have you the envelope?
uva.x001870187	Mr. Humphrey: Have you this letter?
uva.x001870187	Mr. Humphrey: How do you know it?
uva.x001870187	Mr. Humphrey: What is the postmark?
uva.x001870187	Shall I read the details of the torture?"
uva.x001870187	She in her turn seemed to be saying,"What do you know?"
uva.x001870187	So that made the adventure more alluring, did it?"
uva.x001870187	Surely they did not carry their mediaeval homage to the nobility to the point of decorating in- struments of torture with their titles?"
uva.x001870187	THE BLACK DOCTOR 233 Mr. Humphrey: Do you know that your brother is not guilty of the death of Doctor Lana?

uva.x001870187	THE NEW CATACOMB 55"What part of England — London?"
uva.x001870187	They talk of superfluous woman, but what would the poor superfluous man do without her kindly presence?
uva.x001870187	To whom?"
uva.x001870187	VIII THE BEETLE- HUNTER A curious experience?
uva.x001870187	Was it a search party?
uva.x001870187	Was it all a fantasy, or did it really stand for something which had happened in the black, cruel days of the world's history?
uva.x001870187	Was it because he foresaw it that he abandoned his charge of it?
uva.x001870187	Was it not strange that he should wish to be so well informed, since he knew that he was not the direct heir?"
uva.x001870187	Well, it is an old story, and they are all in their graves now anyhow, so what does it mat- ter how they got there?
uva.x001870187	Were they, perhaps, not such fairy- tales as we thought?
uva.x001870187	What could I know of the English railway lines?
uva.x001870187	What does this prove?'
uva.x001870187	What in the world has become of her?"
uva.x001870187	What is the meaning of this, sir?"
uva.x001870187	What shall I do?
uva.x001870187	What was it you wanted to know?"
uva.x001870187	What was the con- nection, or was there any connection between this and the secret visits of the lady whose voice I had over- heard?
uva.x001870187	What would the poor lonely women, or the uneducated yokels here think of it if I were to tell them my experience?
uva.x001870187	What's this?"
uva.x001870187	When has such a story as this been written in the annals of our race?
uva.x001870187	Why did he do this?"
uva.x001870187	Why then should you pay me this considerable fee?"
uva.x001870187	Why, then, had he come?
uva.x001870187	Would you mind asking me something else in return — something not quite so eccentric this time?"
uva.x001870187	Would you mind holding the lantern for a moment?"
uva.x001870187	You are not a somnambulist, by any chance?"
uva.x001870187	You say that you heard nothing, Simpson?"
uva.x001870187	You would allow your wife to go through an operation without an anaesthetic?"
uva.x001870187	not a collector?"
uva.x001870187	|"And terms?"
uc1.b4099839	A divorce, of course; what else could it have been? uc1.b4099839 About Alicia introducing Nick to marijuana?

uc1.b4099839	David? ” Mrs. Reynolds dismissed Corbettsville's efficient police chief with undeserved contempt. uc1.b4099839 Did Corbettsville have flower shows even in those by- gone days?
uc1.b4099839	Did she? ” said Miss Corbett, polite but apparently un- interested. uc1.b4099839 Did they give you any explanation? ”.

uc1.b4099839	Find out anything about the others?
uc1.b4099839	For God's sake stop talking like East Lynne! ” He added, not unkindly, “ How did you hear about it, Nick?
uc1.b4099839	Gabrielle blouses?
uc1.b4099839	Have you thought that those people down there may not be so impressed with our silly airs as we like to think? uc1.b4099839 Have you told your grandmother where you were that afternoon? ”"No,"replied the young man somewhat violently.
uc1.b4099839	Home or office?
uc1.b4099839	How about it? uc1.b4099839 How can I help believe it?
uc1.b4099839	How on earth do you do it, Miss Jennie?
uc1.b4099839	In the heat of the day? uc1.b4099839 Is it too much to ask of an old friend?"
uc1.b4099839	Is it? uc1.b4099839 It will not, ” he asked doubtfully,"upset you too much? ” Miss Corbett, who had regained her composure, flushed.

uc1.b4099839	Must we? uc1.b4099839 Or deliberately presented a false picture?
uc1.b4099839	Out? uc1.b4099839 So, ” he said,"this is it, huh?"
uc1.b4099839	Something happened up at Corbett's; he did n't say what. ”Where have you been?"
uc1.b4099839	That would be- let's see, about a year ago, was n't it? uc1.b4099839 The rest, James? ”"Oh, Miss Jennie, light of my life and friend of my youth!

uc1.b4099839	Was she easy to work for? uc1.b4099839 We're sleuths, remember? ” He drew a chair up to the table and sat down.
uc1.b4099839	Were they an affectionate couple?
uc1.b4099839	Were you going downtown? uc1.b4099839 What about it, Dave?
uc1.b4099839	What co- ed, for heaven's sake?.
uc1.b4099839	What color buttons on yours?
uc1.b4099839	What did she do?
uc1.b4099839	What did she want with him?
uc1.b4099839	What did your people do in Ashville?
uc1.b4099839	What do you think?
uc1.b4099839	What does any decent person do with anonymous letters? uc1.b4099839 What goes, Dave?
uc1.b4099839	What happened to Ellen Martin? ”. uc1.b4099839 What were you doing this afternoon?"
uc1.b4099839	What would money mean to someone with millions? uc1.b4099839 What's going on here? ” asked Reynolds suspiciously.
uc1.b4099839	What's up?
uc1.b4099839	What's up?
uc1.b4099839	What, ” he inquired, “ do you want us to do? uc1.b4099839 What?
uc1.b4099839	Where are they all?
uc1.b4099839	Where is David?
uc1.b4099839	Where is Ellen? ”Home.
uc1.b4099839	Where'd you get it?
uc1.b4099839	Where's Dalrymple?
uc1.b4099839	Who called you?
uc1.b4099839	Who told Miss Corbett?
uc1.b4099839	Who- Oh, is it James? uc1.b4099839 Why did she come back to Corbettsville?"
uc1.b4099839	Why me? uc1.b4099839 Why on earth this cousin- this Mabel Hinkson?
uc1.b4099839	Why should Alicia make that elaborate pretense? ”. uc1.b4099839 Why you? ” She looked puzzled.
uc1.b4099839	Why? uc1.b4099839 Windows?"
uc1.b4099839	Would Gabrielle use duplicate buttons- not necessarily the same color but the same size and shape- on more than one article?
uc1.b4099839	Would you care to see my Gabrielle? ” asked Mrs. Reyn- olds, brightly helpful. uc1.b4099839 You admit its importance, do n't you?
uc1.b4099839	You do? uc1.b4099839 You know shorthand, do n't you?
uc1.b4099839	You know who you've got there? uc1.b4099839 You mean when he got to Joe's?
uc1.b4099839	'Want some advice?'
uc1.b4099839	'You see this thing?'

uc1.b4099839	... Dave, what makes you think Alicia was in the pool? ”"The shower had been used, and her bathing suit and cap were wet. ” “ Oh.
uc1.b4099839	... Dave, where're you going?"
uc1.b4099839	... You say you saw Mrs. Reynolds going into the playhouse? ”"Yes.

uc1.b4099839	80 “ That two- timer?
uc1.b4099839	A blouse?
uc1.b4099839	A coat?
uc1.b4099839	A grand gesture to offset the difference between the Corbett bank account and the Hinkson mil- lions?
uc1.b4099839	A man has a right to privacy, has n't he?
uc1.b4099839	A man or a woman?"
uc1.b4099839	Add it up and what did you get?
uc1.b4099839	Afraid?
uc1.b4099839	After all, a corpse was going to be a bit difficult to explain, so how did you plan to account for it?"
uc1.b4099839	Alicia Dal- rymple. ”"Alicia?
uc1.b4099839	Alicia could n't forgive that. ” “ Did Alicia, ” Jim asked, “ ever suspect that you were Mabel Hinkson? ” Her mouth twitched.
uc1.b4099839	Alicia was a menace to society, so why hound the public benefactor who put her out of the way?
uc1.b4099839	And anyhow, why not take it up at the house?"
uc1.b4099839	And did you grow up?"
uc1.b4099839	And do you know who took him there?
uc1.b4099839	And if not, why not?
uc1.b4099839	And not be alone with anybody, not anybody, be- cause Jim""What?"
uc1.b4099839	And what about this little prize that I found in the corner?
uc1.b4099839	And what, may I ask, did you propose to do about her current husband?"
uc1.b4099839	And why?
uc1.b4099839	Anyone you recognized?
uc1.b4099839	Ar- rest of whom?
uc1.b4099839	Are n't there any chairs in this dump?
uc1.b4099839	Are you on your way to see Miss Corbett?
uc1.b4099839	As he's police chief you'll have to go to him anyhow if anything happens, so why not now?
uc1.b4099839	As they turned into the trail at the top of the grade Peevey said, “ I suppose we park somewhere and sneak up on'em?"

uc1.b4099839	Big? ”"Or Smith, or Jones, or What- have- you.
uc1.b4099839	Big?"
uc1.b4099839	But after that, what? ” She gave no answer so he supplied his own.
uc1.b4099839	But she added,"Do n't you?"
uc1.b4099839	But the cops are still looking for you, so how'd you like me to go to them with my story, huh?"
uc1.b4099839	But what about you?
uc1.b4099839	But why, he puzzled, talk of murder?
uc1.b4099839	But why?"
uc1.b4099839	Can you think of anything, any- thing at all, that might bear on this murder?"
uc1.b4099839	Can you?"
uc1.b4099839	Come on, Jim, where's this study you Mrr were prattling about? ”.
uc1.b4099839	Could you describe it well enough so that the department head of a store that carries that line would recognize it?"
uc1.b4099839	D'you think every- one's asleep except the city police?"
uc1.b4099839	Dalrymple left the house in his car about one- thirty, right?"

uc1.b4099839	Dalrymple?"
uc1.b4099839	Dalrymple?"

uc1.b4099839	Did n't any of you consider that perfectly natural ex- planation? ”"We did.
uc1.b4099839	Did the search uncover any- thing?"
uc1.b4099839	Did you bring it?"
uc1.b4099839	Did you hear the radio?"
uc1.b4099839	Did you notice her buttons?
uc1.b4099839	Did you realize it?
uc1.b4099839	Did you turn off the radio?"
uc1.b4099839	Do n't you know what goes on there?
uc1.b4099839	Do n't you like it? ”"Much better today than the other times. ” She looked at him sharply.
uc1.b4099839	Do you find the new work difficult?"
uc1.b4099839	Do you know anything about goods put out under the trade name of Gabrielle?"
uc1.b4099839	Do you not agree, Jennie, that we have reason to feel proud of James?"
uc1.b4099839	Do you walk?"
uc1.b4099839	Do you want me to talk or do n't you?
uc1.b4099839	Does it help at all?"
uc1.b4099839	Does it matter?
uc1.b4099839	Does she cry'Foul play!?"
uc1.b4099839	Dropped in at Joe's Place at around three- thirty, and not a sniffle of him between. ”"Was he very drunk?"
uc1.b4099839	Ellen Martin, the postmaster's daughter?
uc1.b4099839	Ellen?
uc1.b4099839	Em- barrassment?
uc1.b4099839	Ever seen Alicia in a rage?
uc1.b4099839	Fear?
uc1.b4099839	Finally I persuaded her to go home and do nothing until I had had a chance to speak to Alicia. ” “ And did you speak to her? ”.
uc1.b4099839	Find out anything?"
uc1.b4099839	From Alicia's garden?"
uc1.b4099839	Give me a lift home?"
uc1.b4099839	Goodness, Mr. Hampton, what's the matter? ”"Sorry, that car was going to dart right in front of us.
uc1.b4099839	Got it?"
uc1.b4099839	Has Gran been being feudal?"
uc1.b4099839	Has he been visiting that back room?".
uc1.b4099839	Have n't I explained?
uc1.b4099839	Have they identified the one they call Mr. Big? ” “ Mr.
uc1.b4099839	Have you been very busy, my child? ”.
uc1.b4099839	Have you forgotten that the Feds are still looking for the man who gave the Francioni brothers their start?
uc1.b4099839	Have you thought that the marijuana angle brings in the Federal men who are better equipped to cope than my office is?
uc1.b4099839	He 87 rubbed his chin and asked cautiously, “ Do you fellows mind telling me just what's up?
uc1.b4099839	He gives you good measure, does n't he?"
uc1.b4099839	He killed her, I tell you, he..."“ Why? ” Turner's fingers dug into the quivering shoulder.
uc1.b4099839	He looked appraisingly at the other and asked, “ You feeling less woozy now?"
uc1.b4099839	Hello, Hank?
uc1.b4099839	How are you feeling after last night's fracas?"
uc1.b4099839	How did you guess?"
uc1.b4099839	How do you know that the lady was lying?"
uc1.b4099839	How long was Alicia in the pool?
uc1.b4099839	How many?"
uc1.b4099839	I am Mrs. Mar- pole. ”"Divorced?"
uc1.b4099839	I just sloped off and took the next bus home. ”"Alicia had a visitor?
uc1.b4099839	I suppose you flushed the original ones down the toilet?"
uc1.b4099839	I think she is charming, but why not judge for yourself?
uc1.b4099839	I was walking about_""Why?"
uc1.b4099839	I went up to Mountain Lake, and talked to the caretaker, and what did I find?
uc1.b4099839	I've been rubbing my brains to- gether trying to strike a light to throw on this murky busi- ness. ”"Have you succeeded?"
uc1.b4099839	I've called the hospital but..."“ Why the hospital?
uc1.b4099839	I've known her since she was a baby and it's a damned outrage""What's happened to Ellen?"
uc1.b4099839	If she said, with every appearance of honest indignation, ‘ Am I a fool?
uc1.b4099839	In God's name how could a man concentrate with that voice going?
uc1.b4099839	In God's name why had the judge deeded Gladys this fine old house?
uc1.b4099839	Interested? ”"Could be,"admitted Turner cautiously.
uc1.b4099839	Into his eyes shot a look of- what?
uc1.b4099839	Is it im- portant?
uc1.b4099839	Is it important?"
uc1.b4099839	Is it true the shock nearly killed her?
uc1.b4099839	Is n't that right, Mr. Hampton? ”"It's good enough for me, ” acknowledged Jim, secretly relieved.
uc1.b4099839	Is she an honest woman or the world's biggest liar?"
uc1.b4099839	Is this coincidence or is there a connection between the two affairs?
uc1.b4099839	It's that orangey- yellow blouse you said you liked. ” “ Do you mind looking and telling me the shape?"
uc1.b4099839	Jim argued that at least it put Mrs. Reynolds in the right spot at the right moment and the chief snorted, so what?
uc1.b4099839	Jim, what's this business about Luigi Martinelli?
uc1.b4099839	Just how much of an idiot do you think me?
uc1.b4099839	Kind?"
uc1.b4099839	Later, when looking through another paper, he again said,"Grandma Hampton?"
uc1.b4099839	Legal troubles?"
uc1.b4099839	Let's stop beating about the bush, shall we?
uc1.b4099839	Look here, is it all right if I smoke? ” 109 “ By all means.
uc1.b4099839	Look, I've got my flashlight; should n't we rustle up some more and do a real hunt?
uc1.b4099839	M740762"Have you been very busy, my dear?
uc1.b4099839	Mabel Hinkson?"
uc1.b4099839	Marpole?"
uc1.b4099839	Marpole?"
uc1.b4099839	Marpole?"
uc1.b4099839	Marsh?"
uc1.b4099839	Mary?
uc1.b4099839	Matilda?"
uc1.b4099839	Motive?"
uc1.b4099839	Mr. Turner, how much longer do we have to stay here?
uc1.b4099839	Never thought to bring can- dles, huh?
uc1.b4099839	Nick Reynolds and Alicia were walking together along the suke shore when it happened. ”"And the others?"
uc1.b4099839	Nick?"
uc1.b4099839	No one's to leave, understand?
uc1.b4099839	No, that's silly, because why put on a bathing suit to shower?
uc1.b4099839	Not talking, eh?
uc1.b4099839	Now do you understand why I jumped at the chance to have access to Alicia's private papers, to be in a position to ruin her?
uc1.b4099839	Oh, I bet...""Bet what?"
uc1.b4099839	Oh, James, James, twice?"
uc1.b4099839	Oh, you think so? ” Nick turned over this attractive idea.
uc1.b4099839	Old Macrae, then?"
uc1.b4099839	Only I found you quicker than you liked, did n't I?
uc1.b4099839	Only it would have had to be something big, more than...""More than a casual and short- lived experiment with mari- juana? ” suggested Jim.
uc1.b4099839	Or is it still Miss Hinkson?"
uc1.b4099839	Or just the infatuation of an elderly bridegroom for his young and handsome bride?
uc1.b4099839	Or work it out any way you want; just get it, that's all. ” Dalrymple said, still with that unnatural calm,"Suppose I wo n't?"
uc1.b4099839	Per- haps, ” she added questioningly, “ wondering if the wicked old woman did it herself? ”"Did you? ” he asked coolly.
uc1.b4099839	Per- haps, ” she added questioningly, “ wondering if the wicked old woman did it herself? ”"Did you? ” he asked coolly.
uc1.b4099839	Perfectly legal and now ready for probate. ”"And the previous will, the one she destroyed yesterday, left everything to Dalrymple?"
uc1.b4099839	Pretty rough on Miss Corbett, is n't it?
uc1.b4099839	QUERIES: Where were Miss Corbett, Dalrymple, Mrs. Reyn- olds, Nick, Martinelli, during murder period?
uc1.b4099839	Queen Mary'd scorn to tell a lie, but I had a grandmother...""Only one?
uc1.b4099839	Remember?
uc1.b4099839	Remember?
uc1.b4099839	Reynolds flushed and muttered sullenly, “ I said I was sorry, did n't I?
uc1.b4099839	Right?"
uc1.b4099839	See those broken threads?
uc1.b4099839	Send up Matron, will you?
uc1.b4099839	Shame?
uc1.b4099839	She comes back to Corbettsville- By the way, why did she come back, do you know?"
uc1.b4099839	She flashed scorn at Turner's throaty, “ Blackmail?"
uc1.b4099839	She must have been dreadfully unhappy, poor soul. ”"Alicia unhappy?"
uc1.b4099839	So what?
uc1.b4099839	Someone's slacks?"
uc1.b4099839	Straining her old eyes over accounts, acting as buffer between decent tradesmen and Alicia with her stupid suspicions; and all for what?
uc1.b4099839	Suppose I gave them proof?
uc1.b4099839	Suppose he came down to the playhouse with this crazy idea of marriage and Alicia laughed at him?
uc1.b4099839	Suppose she told him to step out of her life entirely?
uc1.b4099839	That satisfy you?"
uc1.b4099839	The play- house is lousy with prints, but why not?
uc1.b4099839	The point is, can you find that other thing?"
uc1.b4099839	Then he asked, “ What time did you see her yesterday?"
uc1.b4099839	Then why do n't we do something?"
uc1.b4099839	Then: “ So you think I murdered my wife?"
uc1.b4099839	They certainly know — the fire- ordered to be out of the house before night, that...""Without notice?"
uc1.b4099839	This, one might say, was an impromptu visit. ” “ Then how did you know how to find her?"
uc1.b4099839	Turner said, fine, only he had to see a man about a mur- der so how about stopping at the Corbett place first?
uc1.b4099839	Under the circumstances was n't that odd?".
uc1.b4099839	Walking where, for heaven's sake?"
uc1.b4099839	Want him? ”"Wait a minute,"said the chief.
uc1.b4099839	Want to come along to the tennis court where there're benches to sit on?"
uc1.b4099839	Want to hear more?".
uc1.b4099839	Want to make something of it?".
uc1.b4099839	Was it you? ” “ Any appointment between Alicia Dalrymple and myself, ” remarked Mrs. Reynolds, annoyed,"would have been held at my house.
uc1.b4099839	Was that necessary, James? ”"It is necessary that you realize this can not be camouflaged as accident.
uc1.b4099839	We were staying at our camp at Mountain Lake: Tom, Alicia, Mrs. Marpole and myself, and Jane, Alicia's maid. ”"Any other campers?"
uc1.b4099839	Were n't you taking rather a risk?
uc1.b4099839	Were she and Alicia especially friendly?"
uc1.b4099839	Were you high when you croaked your old woman?"
uc1.b4099839	What about dear Miss Cor- bett?
uc1.b4099839	What about this person Alicia was supposed to have had an appointment with? ”"Forget it.
uc1.b4099839	What about young Reynolds? ”.
uc1.b4099839	What are you grinning about?"
uc1.b4099839	What can you tell me about Mrs. Dalrym- ple's expected visitor? ” What she had to tell added nothing to what they already knew.
uc1.b4099839	What did he know of her?
uc1.b4099839	What did you do about it?"
uc1.b4099839	What did you want with Dal- rymple, Luigi?
uc1.b4099839	What do you know about Luigi Martinelli?
uc1.b4099839	What do you know about Luigi Martinelli? ” 85 The other hesitated.
uc1.b4099839	What do you make of this? ” He took an envelope from his pocket and tilted it over the table.
uc1.b4099839	What do you suggest?"
uc1.b4099839	What does he know about the case?"
uc1.b4099839	What happened at three o'clock yesterday afternoon?"
uc1.b4099839	What is it?"
uc1.b4099839	What is on your mind, Miss Jennie?"
uc1.b4099839	What of it?
uc1.b4099839	What of yourself?
uc1.b4099839	What on earth was bothering the poor dear and why, he wondered blankly, was she afraid to come out with it?
uc1.b4099839	What was his opinion of the late Alicia Dalrymple's secretary?
uc1.b4099839	What's it matter who told who?
uc1.b4099839	What's the meaning of this? ”"He struck me. ” Dalrymple's voice was shrill with fear and anger.
uc1.b4099839	When we learned about that back room...""Who put you on to it?"
uc1.b4099839	When, Al? ”"No later than three o'clock and probably earlier.
uc1.b4099839	When, specifi- cally?"
uc1.b4099839	Where had Jake found the thing?
uc1.b4099839	Where was he?"
uc1.b4099839	Where was she standing?"
uc1.b4099839	Where were you between the time you spoke to the servants and the time the taxi came?"
uc1.b4099839	Where're the keys?"
uc1.b4099839	Where's that blasted relief man?
uc1.b4099839	Where? ” “ In the city, last Saturday.
uc1.b4099839	Which if X has any sense, is exactly what he- or she- did. ”"And swallowed the original buttons?"
uc1.b4099839	Who d'you sup- pose turned off that playhouse radio?"
uc1.b4099839	Who did it, Jim?"
uc1.b4099839	Who is he, and what's he supposed to have done?
uc1.b4099839	Who knows?
uc1.b4099839	Who shall it be?
uc1.b4099839	Who turned off the radio?
uc1.b4099839	Who was left?
uc1.b4099839	Who was the so- called “ visitor"?
uc1.b4099839	Who would want to eat anyhow in this dreadful weather?
uc1.b4099839	Who's your choice, Kath?".
uc1.b4099839	Who?
uc1.b4099839	Why did Mrs. Dalrymple dismiss you?"
uc1.b4099839	Why did he?"
uc1.b4099839	Why dump the entire fortune in her lap?
uc1.b4099839	Why go out of your way to make trouble?
uc1.b4099839	Why would I pay good money for a doctor's advice if I did n't intend to follow it?'
uc1.b4099839	Why, why, has this dreadful thing come upon us?"
uc1.b4099839	Why?"
uc1.b4099839	Whyn't you lay off that stuff?
uc1.b4099839	Will that suffice?"
uc1.b4099839	Will you wait in the library?"
uc1.b4099839	With no other thought than to break it Jim asked,"Were you at Joe's Place all this afternoon?"
uc1.b4099839	Would it be all right for me to get back to work? ”.
uc1.b4099839	Would the stores, closed for the funeral, be open for afternoon shop- ping?
uc1.b4099839	Would you tell me a fairy tale, Miss Jennie?"
uc1.b4099839	Yes, I think so. ”"Have you one?
uc1.b4099839	Yes, Mr. Hamp- ton?"
uc1.b4099839	You do understand, James?"
uc1.b4099839	You have the warrant?"
uc1.b4099839	You know them?
uc1.b4099839	You know, not at once but..."“ Did you actually hear her talk to Crawshaw about di- ard ever ver SE vorce?"
uc1.b4099839	You say he's coming down here?"
uc1.b4099839	You want her murderer brought to justice, do n't you? ” “ I'm not sure. ” Miss Corbett stared down into her garden, lost in unhappy thought.

uc1.b4099839	“ About ten minutes, say?"
uc1.b4099839	“ And with whom?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Any hope of a glass of water?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Any luck?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Any squawks?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Apparently?
uc1.b4099839	“ Are you certain that Alicia was really evil?
uc1.b4099839	“ But why little Ellen?
uc1.b4099839	“ Can you get them in the stores here?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Dave, has young Reynolds taken to smoking reefers?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Did they see you come up?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Did you walk down in this heat?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Did you yourself know the terms of that new will? ”"No.
uc1.b4099839	“ Do n't you believe it?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Do n't you know?
uc1.b4099839	“ Do you happen to own one of those Gabrielle blouses?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Does she know what you suspect?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Ever see that before?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Ever think, ” he asked,"that this whole darn 78 place is an anachronism?
uc1.b4099839	“ For instance, what do you know about Miss Hendley?"
uc1.b4099839	“ For playhouse back door. ”"But I do n't know what..."“ District attorney, are n't you?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Frances?
uc1.b4099839	“ Has it occurred to you that there are such things as careless but non- murderous rabbit hunters?
uc1.b4099839	“ Have you, ” he inquired with elaborate politeness, “ any further instruc- tions for us?"
uc1.b4099839	“ How did you know?"
uc1.b4099839	“ How? ” he asked coldly.
uc1.b4099839	“ Is n't it a pet?
uc1.b4099839	“ It sounds like a dime novel, does n't it?
uc1.b4099839	“ It was the same one that did for Alicia, it must have been because Ellen had been talking about remembering some- thing..."“ About the button?".
uc1.b4099839	“ James, ” said Miss Corbett pleadingly, “ must this go on?
uc1.b4099839	“ Jennifer should have married. ”"Why did n't she?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Jim, what do the police think?".
uc1.b4099839	“ Like the Brunswick, where you encountered Alicia?"
uc1.b4099839	“ May I ask,"demanded Miss Corbett frostily,"just why you consider that neces- sary? ” There was no reason why she should not know so he told her.
uc1.b4099839	“ Me, too?
uc1.b4099839	“ Naturally?"
uc1.b4099839	“ O.K., boss?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Object, rich husband? ” She nodded, and they both smiled.
uc1.b4099839	“ Oh, God, ” he groaned, almost prayer-"The funeral? ”"Yeah. ” His long thin hand moved nervously over mouth and chin.
uc1.b4099839	“ Oh?
uc1.b4099839	“ Question Luigi about what?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Refuse aid from his own brother?
uc1.b4099839	“ See?
uc1.b4099839	“ Suppose I were to tell LI 1ο you that this is the second time Alicia's life has been threat- ened?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Sylvia, Sylvia, who is she, that fingerprinting irks her?
uc1.b4099839	“ Take to the police a matter con- cerning my own family?
uc1.b4099839	“ The lovely Mrs. Mar- pole, eh?
uc1.b4099839	“ The other times?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Then who turned off the radio?
uc1.b4099839	“ Want me to do upstairs while they're shut up in the library?"
uc1.b4099839	“ What about Alicia?
uc1.b4099839	“ What button?
uc1.b4099839	“ What hap- pened?"
uc1.b4099839	“ What's Alicia's reaction?
uc1.b4099839	“ What's going on down there? ”.
uc1.b4099839	“ What's the rest of the story?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Who said she was?
uc1.b4099839	“ Why could n't you have found me a monogrammed handkerchief?
uc1.b4099839	“ Why did you send for me, Miss Jennie?
uc1.b4099839	“ Why, oh, why did n't Miss Corbett come to us, the police?"
uc1.b4099839	“ Why,"he 53 demanded with violence, “ do n't you county people do some- thing about that roadhouse?
uc1.b4099839	“ Why?
uc1.b4099839	“ Will you give me your arm up the stairs, please?
uc1.b4099839	“ Would you mind having your people try it for fingerprints?
uc1.b4099839	“ Would you,"he asked with notable restraint,"mind repeating that?"
uc1.b4099839	“ You did n't know I had so much courage, did you, Luigi?"
uc1.b4099839	“ You know him, Reyn- olds?"

uc1.b3467585	And? ”I do n't want it that way.
uc1.b3467585	Are n't we? ” She was smiling faintly. uc1.b3467585 But, ” the manager said, “ but how?
uc1.b3467585	Can we help him? uc1.b3467585 Did they call you Gabby when you were a kid? ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	Fooling yourself? uc1.b3467585 Had he? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	How do you know that, Giovanni? ” Her contempt was plain. uc1.b3467585 How heavy would that be, sir?
uc1.b3467585	I can think it, ca n't I? ” Ricci said gently. uc1.b3467585 I goofed, did n't I? ” Her voice was low.
uc1.b3467585	It is all work, eh, Ricci? uc1.b3467585 It is true, Ricci. ” Then... “ Is that what it is like in America?
uc1.b3467585	Let George do it, you mean? ” Ricci said. uc1.b3467585 Lied?
uc1.b3467585	Niarhos and Kemel- it sounds like a dance team, eh, Joe? ” “ Vaudeville comics, ” Antony said. uc1.b3467585 Okay? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	Once a year, ” Antony said, “ a letter from George, and a pic- ture ” “ That was the agreement, was n't it? uc1.b3467585 Philosophical speculation, ” Ricci said, smiling, “ from you? ” “ Big words, ” Belle said.
uc1.b3467585	Please? ” “ Having a party, all by himself, getting liquored up. uc1.b3467585 Remember me, Joe?
uc1.b3467585	She's giving you a bad time? ” Antony said, in English again. uc1.b3467585 Show her this, tell her it's Lucca. ” “ But how?
uc1.b3467585	Slept well? ” 169 stripped of sham and pretense, naked and plain. uc1.b3467585 So? ” Antony had said.
uc1.b3467585	So? ” “ Let it go, ” Antony said. uc1.b3467585 So? ”"Bellanca was staying there in the house.
uc1.b3467585	So?
uc1.b3467585	Speak of the devil? ” Tina said. uc1.b3467585 Suppose, ” Antony said without inflection, “ it is n't delivered, Angelo?
uc1.b3467585	When I picked you up, what were you? uc1.b3467585 Where's the man? ” “ Downstairs, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	Who do you suppose those men are, honey?
uc1.b3467585	You hear what I said? ” He remained silent, unmoving. uc1.b3467585 You speak of decency, Giovanni? ” She turned then, and showed them her thin straight back as she walked away.
uc1.b3467585	You think you can trust the Air Force kid? ” Antony looked at him. uc1.b3467585 You want to hear me say it, that it?
uc1.b3467585	143 Young, blonde, good looking —"How to describe Belle?
uc1.b3467585	A dancer?"
uc1.b3467585	About him, Pierre, for example?
uc1.b3467585	Americans — there are many, they come and they go. ” “ How did they leave? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	And afterward — what did afterward mat- ter?
uc1.b3467585	And had the phone call concerned them?
uc1.b3467585	And he may have someone with him. ” “ Who?"
uc1.b3467585	And he said,"So. ” Ricci said slowly, “ You knew how much? ” It no longer mat- tered; the masquerade was done.
uc1.b3467585	And he walked down to her room, thinking that she had been here two days now, and what had he done to get close to her?
uc1.b3467585	And if that was true, how much had Walther told them, the flics?
uc1.b3467585	And so I got him off- acquitted. ”"So? ”"Nobody ever proved perjury, ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	And the man?
uc1.b3467585	And the name Presser? ” “ I'm right good at numbers and names. ” Hurry, hurry!
uc1.b3467585	And was Antony, then, a test?
uc1.b3467585	And why had Antony not told Lucca about Jenner?
uc1.b3467585	And why had Gino been sent along?
uc1.b3467585	And why tell me? ” He studied her for a moment or two before he let understanding show in his face.
uc1.b3467585	And why the pitch, the personal history?
uc1.b3467585	And yet what else could he have done?
uc1.b3467585	And, for the third time, she said simply, “ Yes. ” “ Damn it, ” Ricci said, “ what do you think I'll do?
uc1.b3467585	Anthony's voice said, “ All right? ” 185 might 2 youth said,""All right, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	Antony said, “ What did they look like?
uc1.b3467585	Antony said, “ Would you have believed me if I'd just told you? ” Ricci was silent.
uc1.b3467585	Antony said, “ You know about Lucca?
uc1.b3467585	Antony said, “ You've lost, Angelo — ”"Have I?
uc1.b3467585	Any cops? ”"I did n't see any."
uc1.b3467585	Any- thing?"
uc1.b3467585	Anything at all. ” “ Why? ” “ I — told you."
uc1.b3467585	Anything else, you hear me?
uc1.b3467585	Asked you over? ” “ Yes. ”"And so you came."
uc1.b3467585	Beating out a bunt?
uc1.b3467585	Before he was de- ported? ”"No."
uc1.b3467585	Belle said, “ Your face, the bandage- they're looking for you, are n't they?
uc1.b3467585	Belle, Bertha Larson, how do you like it?
uc1.b3467585	Belle?
uc1.b3467585	Belt, was it?
uc1.b3467585	But do n't pick him up yet. ”"No? ” Randall said.
uc1.b3467585	But had he touched anything else?
uc1.b3467585	But he was used to loneliness, was n't he?
uc1.b3467585	But what other way had there been?
uc1.b3467585	Can I be blamed for that?
uc1.b3467585	Can you stop what you started?"
uc1.b3467585	Can you understand him? ”"Search me, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	Can you understand that? ” “ “ The sins of the fathers,'” Jenner said,"and so you feel you have to atone. ” He shook his head.
uc1.b3467585	Can you understand that? ”"I will try. ”"Do n't try.
uc1.b3467585	Clobbering one?
uc1.b3467585	Come on, he thought; walk out here on your bandy little legs, 137 himself?
uc1.b3467585	Did you know that? ” She could see into his mind, his loneliness, and she wished that it were not so.
uc1.b3467585	Did you, perhaps, see anyone pass through the lobby?
uc1.b3467585	Do people there talk only when there is a reason?
uc1.b3467585	Do you know him well enough?
uc1.b3467585	Do you know that part, Antony?
uc1.b3467585	Do you like him enough to hate him?
uc1.b3467585	Do you remember? ”"No."
uc1.b3467585	Do you take that lying down?
uc1.b3467585	Do you under- stand that? ” “ But it is simple. ” “ Yes, ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	Ever noticed that?
uc1.b3467585	Ever watch Berra standing up there, swinging at the bad ones and knocking them into the seats? ” “ On television, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	For how long? ”"He did n't say, ” Ricci said, also in English.
uc1.b3467585	From here?
uc1.b3467585	Gino said, “ It is all work, eh, Ricci? ” He lay back on the bed.
uc1.b3467585	Gino said, “ You are happy, too, eh, Ricci?
uc1.b3467585	Gino said,"Where are we going? ” “ To see a man. ” “ Ah,"Gino said.
uc1.b3467585	Giulio said, “ How will I know if it is the right woman?
uc1.b3467585	Going where? ” She turned to look at him.
uc1.b3467585	Got all you need?"
uc1.b3467585	Had he overdone it?
uc1.b3467585	Had she seen him more clearly than he saw himself?
uc1.b3467585	Have you seen its effect?
uc1.b3467585	He asked himself why she should not be?
uc1.b3467585	He had a car? ” Always you had to spell it out every step of the way, draw pictures, and even then these people could n't always get it straight.
uc1.b3467585	He had a gun, was that it? ”"He- can't be, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	He had paused, and had the smile altered?
uc1.b3467585	He recognized me, spoke to me. ” “ In front of Lucca? ”"Joe Antony.
uc1.b3467585	He said quietly, “ You asked for it, Angelo. ”"Because I kicked her around? ” He shook his head.
uc1.b3467585	He said, “ Belle? ” And he looked at Antony, frowning.
uc1.b3467585	He said, “ Joe wrote you?
uc1.b3467585	He said,"A good trip?"
uc1.b3467585	Heavy —""Heavy? ” the boy said, and his face took on a thoughtful look.
uc1.b3467585	His daughter? ” So he had known, Ricci thought, and he wondered if it was im- portant.
uc1.b3467585	His name is Morelli, Ricci Morelli. ” “ When is he coming? ” “ What difference does it make?
uc1.b3467585	His name is Morelli, Ricci Morelli. ” “ When is he coming? ” “ What difference does it make?
uc1.b3467585	How many do you suppose there are in Italy? ” And he was smiling.
uc1.b3467585	How to make her sound different from ten thousand other blondes “ Lucca's? ” Jenner said.
uc1.b3467585	How's everything?"
uc1.b3467585	How's the boy?
uc1.b3467585	I could not be sure. ”"You doubted them? ” The old woman paused.
uc1.b3467585	I do n't know the town, but the porter at my hotel said the Hotel Apostle was a good place to eat? ” “ I've heard that, ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	I saw Presser"“ Where? ” So far it was easy, automatic; the preparations had been made with care.
uc1.b3467585	I told them I wanted to think about it. ” “ You want me to talk to them? ” Lucca shook his head.
uc1.b3467585	I wish you would. ” Then, “ Where's the girl?
uc1.b3467585	I'll make out. ” “ Doing what?
uc1.b3467585	I'll take care of it. ” “ Then? ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	I'm not helping much, am I?
uc1.b3467585	I've said that before, have n't I? ” She felt like Belle again, in command of herself.
uc1.b3467585	In New York, he said, he would never have been able to stop. ” “ Maybe that's right. ” “ Then what do you do for him?
uc1.b3467585	In any way? ” And her lips were pressed tight.
uc1.b3467585	Instead... What else could I have done?
uc1.b3467585	Is it because I am American?
uc1.b3467585	Is it because he is my father?
uc1.b3467585	Is that it? ” There were two small spots of color high in her cheeks.
uc1.b3467585	Is that true? ” And she made a small quick movement with one hand.
uc1.b3467585	It is a laugh, is n't it? ” “ That was n't what I meant, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	It is not simple, eh, Ricci? ” Maybe it was simple, maybe not.
uc1.b3467585	It is that Lucca has said that all of the fault was mine?
uc1.b3467585	Jenner said, “ Um, his wife? ” He hesitated.
uc1.b3467585	Just tourists? ” “ The girl is the daughter of Joe Antony —"“ So, ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	Like my place? ” He waved his hand at the big room.
uc1.b3467585	Like you and Lucca and this Antony downstairs?
uc1.b3467585	Look like her mother? ” Then, “ You do n't want anything to happen to her, Joe.
uc1.b3467585	Maybe that will convince you we're not playing a game. ” “ Killed? ” Jenner said.
uc1.b3467585	Mine mended shoes. ” And then, “ What did yours do? ” “ He was a janitor, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	No shows to see, no old pals to wave a new mink at, only dirty Italians who ca n't talk English?
uc1.b3467585	Now she's here?
uc1.b3467585	Now, relentlessly, he said, “ What else did you expect? ”"Maybe a miracle. ” The faint smile showing again.
uc1.b3467585	Old?
uc1.b3467585	One girl, I mean? ”"No."
uc1.b3467585	One of them with a handkerchief held to his cheek? ” He looked at both of them, and at neither; his eyes seemed to rest between them.
uc1.b3467585	Or are you just trying to prove that you're better than he is? ”"For a non- thinker you come up with odd ideas. ” He nodded slowly.
uc1.b3467585	Or had Gino?
uc1.b3467585	Or had he?
uc1.b3467585	Or is it some- thing else? ” “ Why was your passport taken? ” the old woman said.
uc1.b3467585	Or is it some- thing else? ” “ Why was your passport taken? ” the old woman said.
uc1.b3467585	Or suppose something happens when it is? ” “ So it's like that, ” Lucca said, and all the loudness was gone now; his voice was quite soft.
uc1.b3467585	Or, had he?
uc1.b3467585	Or, was it?
uc1.b3467585	Pay attention to me, smile at me, hang on my words"“ Roll my eyes in adoration? ”"Exactly. ”"All right, ” Tina said.
uc1.b3467585	Pete Jenner? ”"Sorry, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	Pretty?
uc1.b3467585	Prove it. ” “ What good does the girl"“ What girl? ” And there was silence again.
uc1.b3467585	Remember what they used to say about the Yankees- they thought it was wrong to lose?
uc1.b3467585	Remembering his own experience with Belle-“Who questions American tourists? ” “ I like that better,"Randall had said.
uc1.b3467585	Set up an eight horse parlay?"
uc1.b3467585	She like Italy? ” “ What do you want? ” Antony repeated.
uc1.b3467585	She like Italy? ” “ What do you want? ” Antony repeated.
uc1.b3467585	She saw him_ ” “ She saw him fall? ”"I do not know.
uc1.b3467585	She's waiting for you. ” Ricci said slowly, “ What's eating you? ” “ Not a thing.
uc1.b3467585	So what did he accomplish now by waiting?
uc1.b3467585	So?
uc1.b3467585	So?
uc1.b3467585	So? ” Antony nodded again, mere acknowledgment that he had heard, no comment.
uc1.b3467585	Somebody you did n't even know existed, and then you find out- wouldn't you? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
uc1.b3467585	Tell him we're Americans. ” 113 Ricci said in English, “ What's doing? ” The policeman spoke Italian.
uc1.b3467585	That I wanted to sell some jewelry? ” Ricci looked at her, stared at her.
uc1.b3467585	That fit? ” Too many questions, too few answers.
uc1.b3467585	That what you mean? ” She rolled onto her back again and sat up, all in one long, smooth movement.
uc1.b3467585	That who you mean? ” And Antony's reply was too quiet for Belle to hear.
uc1.b3467585	That's what I've got you for, is n't it? ” “ That's the way I heard it, ” Antony had said quietly, allowing no triumph to show.
uc1.b3467585	The cops? ”"Probably, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	The girl said, “ Is he doing the same things over here?
uc1.b3467585	The girl said, “ Would Johnny Bellanca get in fights?"
uc1.b3467585	The police, I mean? ” “ They'll want to know why you did n't tell them last night. ”"I'll take that chance."
uc1.b3467585	The sergeant said, in some surprise, “ This is all of it?
uc1.b3467585	The sun is always shining and there is no snow, no real mountains. ” “ The people of the south are soft, you are saying? ” Luigi said.
uc1.b3467585	The things they deported him for?
uc1.b3467585	The water carafe on the floor, a picture broken on the wall — ” Lucca said, “ He'd been drinking? ”"He had sent down for a bottle of absinthe.
uc1.b3467585	Then she heard Lucca's voice, raised suddenly in an almost angry question, “ Ricci?
uc1.b3467585	Then slowly, distinctly, in English still, “ What do you want? ” The policeman's face was a picture of frustration.
uc1.b3467585	Then, quietly, “ You kind of like Belle, eh?
uc1.b3467585	Then, to Ricci, before Lucca could speak, “ Can you stop it?
uc1.b3467585	Then,"Why are you here? ” 31 “ In Italy?"
uc1.b3467585	Then,"Why are you here? ” 31 “ In Italy?"
uc1.b3467585	Then... “ You are American, no? ”.
uc1.b3467585	There had been an accident, they said. ” “ We? ” “ Pete and I. ” “ Pete. ” He said it tonelessly.
uc1.b3467585	There's no trouble about that?"
uc1.b3467585	They gathered quickly —"“ But they, Ricci and Gino, had gone? ” “ Yes."
uc1.b3467585	Think about the reasons before he decides a man is a- thief? ” Here, at least, he thought, he was on sound footing.
uc1.b3467585	This little bit? ” “ That's all, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	Tina said, “ Will you tell me what to do, Pete? ” It was a strange voice, a small voice, and her head was bent, her face hidden.
uc1.b3467585	Tina said, “ You're in love with him, are n't you? ” “ No comment. ” Remembering the way he had looked, asleep, relaxed, almost boyish.
uc1.b3467585	To Ricci he said, “ Please?"
uc1.b3467585	To anybody. ” “ Only get sent to jail if I'm caught with it, is that it, sir? ” Antony was silent.
uc1.b3467585	To go where you want to go? ” He told himself that he was looking forward to the ending of — responsibility.
uc1.b3467585	To the policeman, “ Okay?"
uc1.b3467585	Tomorrow can take care of itself. ”"Now who's making like a philosopher? ” And the ease was between them again.
uc1.b3467585	Tried to bring it along with you? ” “ You know how it is, ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	Two men?
uc1.b3467585	Ugly? ” Lucca said, “ She is young.
uc1.b3467585	Was he, Ricci, on his way to Antony now to be looked at, listened to, sized up in the light of suspicion?
uc1.b3467585	Was n't he?
uc1.b3467585	Was that it?
uc1.b3467585	We were not followed when we drove to the house of Signor Lucca, nor on the road back. ”"How long has this car been behind us? ” 101 slowing.
uc1.b3467585	We will have a glass of wine, eh? ” The smile spread.
uc1.b3467585	What are you doing here? ” A man's voice, an American voice, carrying loud and clear.
uc1.b3467585	What difference does it make?
uc1.b3467585	What difference?
uc1.b3467585	What do you do?
uc1.b3467585	What do you think I can do?
uc1.b3467585	What else could he have done but back Lucca up?
uc1.b3467585	What good? ” He seemed old, tired.
uc1.b3467585	What had been the purpose of that?
uc1.b3467585	What is this? ” Ricci looked around slowly.
uc1.b3467585	What use was a dead hero?
uc1.b3467585	What would be? ” “ That's no answer. ” “ It's as good a one as you're going to get."
uc1.b3467585	What you've started? ” Ricci was silent.
uc1.b3467585	What's a lie, Joe?
uc1.b3467585	What's he doing? ”"I do n't know, ” Jenner said.
uc1.b3467585	Whatever you're doing?
uc1.b3467585	When the aunt had stopped and turned back into the room,"Have I done anything? ” The old woman was silent.
uc1.b3467585	When you defended me, remember?
uc1.b3467585	Where else?
uc1.b3467585	Where is the woman who came in from the street? ”"I do not know.
uc1.b3467585	Where were you? ” “ We, ” Pierre said,"that is to say, the motor car was — detained. ” He told himself to smile, but his lips refused.
uc1.b3467585	Where's Tina? ”"I ca n't hear you, ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	Where?
uc1.b3467585	Who else had seen him?
uc1.b3467585	Who else? ”"Only the two Americans who were dining, and they said that they did not see. ” “ But you think they did? ” “ How can I say?
uc1.b3467585	Who else? ”"Only the two Americans who were dining, and they said that they did not see. ” “ But you think they did? ” “ How can I say?
uc1.b3467585	Who else? ”"Only the two Americans who were dining, and they said that they did not see. ” “ But you think they did? ” “ How can I say?
uc1.b3467585	Why is he stopping us like this?
uc1.b3467585	Why not be honest about it? ” Jenner blinked.
uc1.b3467585	Why should she have tried to shield him?
uc1.b3467585	Why the change of plan?
uc1.b3467585	Why would Antony not want us to protect him? ”.
uc1.b3467585	Why, for the love of heaven, Johnny Bellanca? ” “ Did n't you come over here because of him? ” “ That is correct."
uc1.b3467585	Why, for the love of heaven, Johnny Bellanca? ” “ Did n't you come over here because of him? ” “ That is correct."
uc1.b3467585	Why, he asked himself now?
uc1.b3467585	Why, then, the personal history?
uc1.b3467585	Why?
uc1.b3467585	Why? ” But, in a vague sort of way, he saw what she meant, and it was true.
uc1.b3467585	Would she then have kept silent?
uc1.b3467585	You be careful, hear?
uc1.b3467585	You do n't really get away from what you are, do you? ” “ Forget it, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	You fooled them all. ” Antony had said slowly, feeling the first real doubts, “ Was that the way it looked? ”"Go on, ” Lucca had said.
uc1.b3467585	You have a message for them? ”"Now listen to me, ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	You have enough?
uc1.b3467585	You have not told me her name. ” 117 “ Her name is Belle. ” “ She is young?
uc1.b3467585	You hear me? ” There was no answer, none.
uc1.b3467585	You knew that? ”.
uc1.b3467585	You know about me?"
uc1.b3467585	You know him? ” 24 “ Yes.
uc1.b3467585	You mean since I could n't beat what they hung on me, and they threw me out of America, you do n't like it any more?
uc1.b3467585	You or Lucca?
uc1.b3467585	You read Italian?"
uc1.b3467585	You take two people, they look at something from different sides who's lying? ” He had shaken his head and the smile had not faltered.
uc1.b3467585	You tell that to all the girls? ” “ Cut it out, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	You're a bright boy, almost as bright as Joe here. ” Belle said slowly, “ How did he know I was here?
uc1.b3467585	You're not a policeman, ” “ I'm just malicious — is that it? ” He made himself relax; his voice came out gentle.
uc1.b3467585	You're staying? ” “ Until you're satisfied, he says.
uc1.b3467585	You're trying to build me up?
uc1.b3467585	You've seen that? ” Then, not waiting for an answer, “ They stuck with their own Lucca.
uc1.b3467585	You, and the other one, the big one sitting out by the kitchen? ” “ We run errands, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	You? ” Slowly, reluctantly, she looked up at him.
uc1.b3467585	Your room, I mean?
uc1.b3467585	“ About you?
uc1.b3467585	“ Afraid of me? ” she said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Am I being silly?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Am I blushing? ” Ricci allowed the inward smile to show.
uc1.b3467585	“ Am I? ” She sipped the beer slowly.
uc1.b3467585	“ And I grew out of my skinniness? ” Belle said.
uc1.b3467585	“ And do you believe that, Ricci? ”"I was just talking, big one. ” “ No, ” Gino said.
uc1.b3467585	“ And my little trip? ” Ricci had said.
uc1.b3467585	“ And she said I had it? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ And what happened to your face? ”"I ran into something.
uc1.b3467585	“ And what's wrong with pigtails? ” She paused.
uc1.b3467585	“ And you, signorina? ” “ I'm American, too. ” He looked at her purse in question.
uc1.b3467585	“ Anything wrong? ” “ What would be wrong? ” And then, “ Belle says she misses you."
uc1.b3467585	“ Anything wrong? ” “ What would be wrong? ” And then, “ Belle says she misses you."
uc1.b3467585	“ Business, eh, Joe?
uc1.b3467585	“ But it was not I, do you comprehend?
uc1.b3467585	“ But you knew him over there? ” “ No, ” Ricci said, and so far it was no more than the truth.
uc1.b3467585	“ Ca n't you drive with one hand? ” He wanted to grin, with the sudden admiration he felt.
uc1.b3467585	“ Come again? ” She watched only 91 the road atlas.
uc1.b3467585	“ Do I amuse you? ” They were silent, looking at one another.
uc1.b3467585	“ Do n't get mixed up 76 in it yourself?
uc1.b3467585	“ Do n't you?
uc1.b3467585	“ Do they still call you that? ” “ Yes. ” “ George and Lucy — ” Antony began.
uc1.b3467585	“ Do you guys always have to do things the hard way?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Do you speak the language? ”"A little.
uc1.b3467585	“ Do you? ” “ I brought a few things to hock."
uc1.b3467585	“ Does that help? ” Belle said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Drive back to the village, Pete. ” “ Come again? ” He looked at her in some surprise.
uc1.b3467585	“ Drop me off. ” “ No. ” “ Why not? ” “ Do you want me to? ” he said quietly.
uc1.b3467585	“ Drop me off. ” “ No. ” “ Why not? ” “ Do you want me to? ” he said quietly.
uc1.b3467585	“ Eh, Ricci?
uc1.b3467585	“ Ever see that Mantle?
uc1.b3467585	“ Feel better? ” she said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Gino knows how to tell him. ” “ You want him so he ca n't talk? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Go upstairs to her room and look? ” he said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Got a family? ”"No."
uc1.b3467585	“ Have I made you angry? ”"No,"Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Heroin?
uc1.b3467585	“ How about you? ” “ I_ ” Tina stopped there.
uc1.b3467585	“ How did Lucca find out about you? ” He should have seen it, Ricci told himself.
uc1.b3467585	“ How do I know? ” Ricci shook his head.
uc1.b3467585	“ I could beat it out of you. ”"Could you? ”"Or maybe I could n't.
uc1.b3467585	“ I know him. ” “ You knew him when you made up your mind to walk out. ” “ Yes. ” “ Then? ”"I told you I was n't very bright.
uc1.b3467585	“ Is he? ” “ That was my phone call, ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Is that it?
uc1.b3467585	“ Is that it? ” “ That's it. ” He made himself say it flatly.
uc1.b3467585	“ Is that not what you told me, Giovanni? ”"My name is Joe, ” Antony said, but he might as well not have spoken.
uc1.b3467585	“ Is that what a policeman is supposed to do?
uc1.b3467585	“ Is that what you want?"
uc1.b3467585	“ It is that Lucca — Lucca has told you otherwise, eh?
uc1.b3467585	“ Kind of lonesome without her parad- ing around, waving it at you? ” “ Whatever you say, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Know where we're going? ” “ No. ” “ We're going to meet a ship."
uc1.b3467585	“ Like Florida, eh? ” They had not shaken hands, and Antony's face was expression- less as before.
uc1.b3467585	“ Lucca,"he said,"wants to be sure that nothing happens to you. ” “ Like what?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Maybe he is n't what you are, had you thought of that? ” And she watched his eyes widen a trifle.
uc1.b3467585	“ Meaning us? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ No skin off your nose, eh? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ No trouble? ” “ No.
uc1.b3467585	“ Nobody? ” “ I told you."
uc1.b3467585	“ Not Giovanni? ” She saw the sudden tightness come into his face and then quickly disappear.
uc1.b3467585	“ Nothing happened. ” Gently, “ Make you feel better? ” Tina's head was high.
uc1.b3467585	“ Now, ” he said softly, “ where is it?
uc1.b3467585	“ Over here, what? ” His voice was sud- denly soft, almost gentle.
uc1.b3467585	“ Pete? ” Tina said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Remember me?
uc1.b3467585	“ Ricci? ” Jenner began.
uc1.b3467585	“ See this house? ” Some of the tenseness went out of Pierre.
uc1.b3467585	“ Shall I tell them, then?
uc1.b3467585	“ Should I believe that? ” “ I guess you'd better ask him,"Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Should he have? ” “ A shotgun, maybe, ” Jenner said.
uc1.b3467585	“ So now we wait and see. ” “ Wait for what? ” “ He knows where you are.
uc1.b3467585	“ So they do? ” Not really understanding, she could not explain.
uc1.b3467585	“ So?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Somebody with you? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Something on your mind? ” Ricci still had his beer glass.
uc1.b3467585	“ Something wrong? ” Jenner said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Something you want? ” The man was young and tall and wide through the shoulders.
uc1.b3467585	“ Taxi?
uc1.b3467585	“ That right? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ That right? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ That was n't what I meant. ”"Was n't it? ” Antony looked at the girl.
uc1.b3467585	“ That's a laugh, too, is n't it? ”"I do n't think so, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ That's an answer? ” “ No, ” he said.
uc1.b3467585	“ That's what you mean? ” “ Oh, yes.
uc1.b3467585	“ The Bellancas?"
uc1.b3467585	“ The car has followed? ”"Si, signor. ” Then... “ No.
uc1.b3467585	“ The car keys are on the dresser. ” “ Well? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ The girl was on the boat?
uc1.b3467585	“ The kid, maybe?
uc1.b3467585	“ The ones who come over from the old country?
uc1.b3467585	“ The- junk? ”"It will be here before morning. ” “ Okay, ” Ricci said, feeling again the excitement rising, the sense of triumph.
uc1.b3467585	“ Then who told the police about them?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Then you do n't know him very well? ”"No."
uc1.b3467585	“ Then, ” Belle said slowly, “ it's all settled, is n't it?"
uc1.b3467585	“ They came out through the lobby? ”"I have told you —"“ I said relax. ” And then, “ Was he there, on the sidewalk, when they came out?"
uc1.b3467585	“ They came out through the lobby? ”"I have told you —"“ I said relax. ” And then, “ Was he there, on the sidewalk, when they came out?"
uc1.b3467585	“ They threw you out, too? ” “ They could n't.
uc1.b3467585	“ Think what? ” She watched him again.
uc1.b3467585	“ This is all the luggage? ” he said, and his voice was quiet, steady.
uc1.b3467585	“ This what you're after?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Tina's not up yet? ” “ Sleeping, I suppose, ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Tired? ” Belle said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Turning around? ” “ No, signor.
uc1.b3467585	“ Unless it embarrasses you? ” 116 He saw the smile, heard the words and the tone.
uc1.b3467585	“ Was this where Wally bought it? ” “ Wally?
uc1.b3467585	“ Was this where Wally bought it? ” “ Wally?
uc1.b3467585	“ We just met her. ” “ She's staying where? ” “ Here.
uc1.b3467585	“ Were you going to be President someday, Joe? ”"At least, ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ What about them? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ What did you say? ” In Italian again.
uc1.b3467585	“ What do they want? ” And she had moved close, quite close against him; her head rested on his shoulder.
uc1.b3467585	“ What do you know about junk? ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ What do you want me to do?
uc1.b3467585	“ What do you want? ” “ Can I- help?
uc1.b3467585	“ What do you want? ” “ Can I- help?
uc1.b3467585	“ What do you want? ” “ Not very friendly, Joe. ” Antony said nothing.
uc1.b3467585	“ What does? ” “ That you ca n't be everything.
uc1.b3467585	“ What gives? ” He began to smile, broad and friendly.
uc1.b3467585	“ What happened to the car? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ What held it up?"
uc1.b3467585	“ What kind of things? ” “ A couple of rings.
uc1.b3467585	“ What man?
uc1.b3467585	“ What woman?"
uc1.b3467585	“ What would be wrong? ” He shook his head.
uc1.b3467585	“ What would there be? ” “ You tell me, ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ What's doing? ” He turned to follow her eyes.
uc1.b3467585	“ What's he saying, honey?
uc1.b3467585	“ What's on your mind, Joe? ” “ I've been thinking,"Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Where are the Bellancas from? ” This was the lever.
uc1.b3467585	“ Where is he now?
uc1.b3467585	“ Where was the Sunday school you went to? ” “ Kansas. ” Now she, too, was smiling.
uc1.b3467585	“ Where's Antony? ”"He's all right, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Where? ” “ Where you're going.
uc1.b3467585	“ Who are they? ”"Sometimes, ” Antony said,"you think you recognize somebody.
uc1.b3467585	“ Who else would come, speaking of regulations? ” He was silent.
uc1.b3467585	“ Who is Pete? ” She ignored it.
uc1.b3467585	“ Who knows? ” “ He.
uc1.b3467585	“ Who saw them? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Who was he?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Who were they?
uc1.b3467585	“ Why did you not stay in America? ” She paused.
uc1.b3467585	“ Why not?
uc1.b3467585	“ Why not?
uc1.b3467585	“ Why not? ” He could let some of the bottled- up anger come out now.
uc1.b3467585	“ Why wear anything? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ Why?
uc1.b3467585	“ Why? ”"No special reason. ” And the smile was back.
uc1.b3467585	“ Why?"
uc1.b3467585	“ Wo n't they?
uc1.b3467585	“ Would n't you have come? ”"I suppose I would. ” “ To see for yourself?
uc1.b3467585	“ Would n't you have come? ”"I suppose I would. ” “ To see for yourself?
uc1.b3467585	“ Would you give a girl a ride? ” He had both hands on the wheel.
uc1.b3467585	“ Would you have seen him when they opened the door? ” “ I can not say."
uc1.b3467585	“ Would you like that? ” And he held his breath while time sus- pended itself, stood still.
uc1.b3467585	“ Yes. ” “ Can we go there, to your hotel?
uc1.b3467585	“ Yes. ” “ Everything all right?
uc1.b3467585	“ Yes. ” “ Good weather? ” “ Yes. ”"I — hoped it would be."
uc1.b3467585	“ You a ball fan? ”"Some. ” “ Coast League, ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You are still thinking, Ricci? ” Gino said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You came over here with Lucca? ”"No.
uc1.b3467585	“ You can go back to the States?
uc1.b3467585	“ You got a girl?
uc1.b3467585	“ You have somebody? ” Get it over with, he thought.
uc1.b3467585	“ You hear? ” She looked away.
uc1.b3467585	“ You heard me? ” “ Yes, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You heard me? ”"I heard you.
uc1.b3467585	“ You know Leclerc, Pierre Leclerc? ” It took Ricci by surprise.
uc1.b3467585	“ You know about it, Joe? ”.
uc1.b3467585	“ You know about the old folks? ” Antony said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You know what happens some places when somebody runs off with somebody else's wife?"
uc1.b3467585	“ You know where she is? ”"I can find out.
uc1.b3467585	“ You know where you're going? ” “ Do n't worry about it."
uc1.b3467585	“ You make a good passenger. ”"Do I? ” She smiled faintly.
uc1.b3467585	“ You mean it, do n't you, Pete?
uc1.b3467585	“ You miss America, is that it?
uc1.b3467585	“ You say,'So sorry'and that's it? ” She had known it was going to be bad, but not like this not cat and mouse.
uc1.b3467585	“ You tell Mr. Antony that I'm happy to oblige him, and for him not to worry one little bit. ”"You've got the address on Tenth Street?
uc1.b3467585	“ You think that fixes everything? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You tried it again? ” “ No use, ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You under- stand? ” Lucca said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You understand, big one? ” Ricci said.
uc1.b3467585	“ You understand?
uc1.b3467585	“ You want him shut up for good? ” His voice was steady, and the attitude of out- ward calm was firmly in place.
uc1.b3467585	“ You would, too, would n't you?
uc1.b3467585	“ You're going out?"
uc1.b3467585	“ You've built him up in your mind, have n't you? ” “ My father? ” “ Ricci. ” The smile spread a little, turned inwards to mock him.
uc1.b3467585	“ You've built him up in your mind, have n't you? ” “ My father? ” “ Ricci. ” The smile spread a little, turned inwards to mock him.
uc1.b3467585	“ Your father? ” Ricci said.
uc1.31175024000047	... You deal, do n't you, Mr. Girdlestone?' uc1.31175024000047 And what did you do? ” the major asked with interest.

uc1.31175024000047	There's a small door in the boundary wall which leads out to the railway line. ” “ Well, what of that?' uc1.31175024000047 Vat's de matter mit him?"

uc1.31175024000047	Are we to have a lantern?"
uc1.31175024000047	Are you coming to the office'? ” he asked sternly.
uc1.31175024000047	Are you going?
uc1.31175024000047	Are you mad?"
uc1.31175024000047	Are you so unhappy, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	Are you sure they are round?"
uc1.31175024000047	Beg pardon, sir,"he said, raising his hand to his kepi, “ but do n't you think this pace is too good to last?
uc1.31175024000047	Burt?"
uc1.31175024000047	But I must go. ”"By the way, malignant typhoid is very catching, is it not?
uc1.31175024000047	But I say, gov'nor, hain't you got a drop of something about the office?"
uc1.31175024000047	But do n't it seem kind o'hard on them as isn't- on the mates an'the hands?
uc1.31175024000047	But how about Jorrocks and Stevens and Rebecca?
uc1.31175024000047	But in time do n't you think you could come to love me?
uc1.31175024000047	But the hotel- keeper and the servants?"
uc1.31175024000047	But what is the matter with the captain?"
uc1.31175024000047	But you must have seen all these things many times before?
uc1.31175024000047	But, major, I understood you to say that he was cut in two?"
uc1.31175024000047	But, of course, it would make a great difference in your salary. ” Eh?'
uc1.31175024000047	Cacodyl? ” Tom cried aghast.
uc1.31175024000047	Can I have my maid?"
uc1.31175024000047	Can you hear what I say?!
uc1.31175024000047	Can you meet me at Nelson's Café at four o'clock?
uc1.31175024000047	Captain Miggs in?"
uc1.31175024000047	Could it be that Tom had informed her guardian of their engagement, and had received such a rebuff that he had abandoned her in despair?
uc1.31175024000047	Could it be that her friends had arrived and had managed to send a message to her?
uc1.31175024000047	D'ye know a young fellow called Dims- dale?
uc1.31175024000047	D'ye tell me that you know more about it than the men on'Change and the firms that do business with them?"
uc1.31175024000047	D'ye think we'll let you spoil a lay of this sort as we might never get a chance of again?"
uc1.31175024000047	Did I tell you what the Honourable Jack Gibbs said to me at the club?
uc1.31175024000047	Did any one suggest it to you?"
uc1.31175024000047	Did iver ye hear such inferual nonsense in your life?
uc1.31175024000047	Did they serve: this writ on you? ” Another nigger brought it aboard."
uc1.31175024000047	Did ye?
uc1.31175024000047	Did you read it?"
uc1.31175024000047	Dimsdale lives with you, I believe?"
uc1.31175024000047	Do n't know him, eh?"
uc1.31175024000047	Do n't you notice a change in him yourself?"
uc1.31175024000047	Do n't you see the sequence of events?"
uc1.31175024000047	Do you consider it honourable to make use of knowledge gained in confidence for the purpose of extorting money?
uc1.31175024000047	Do you follow me?".
uc1.31175024000047	Do you follow me?'
uc1.31175024000047	Do you know what he did the other day?
uc1.31175024000047	Do you like me, then, Kate?"
uc1.31175024000047	Do you think that it would ever occur to any one's mind that the express ran over a dead body? ” “ I see your meaning,"said his son thoughtfully.
uc1.31175024000047	Do you think you could love me?"
uc1.31175024000047	D’ye think that a man who's worn Her Majesty's scarlet jacket for twinty years would dirty his hands with such a trick?
uc1.31175024000047	Eh, Ezra?
uc1.31175024000047	Eh, Matilda?"
uc1.31175024000047	Eh, Matilda?"
uc1.31175024000047	Eh?"
uc1.31175024000047	Ezra has his faults, but what man has not?
uc1.31175024000047	Had n't I warned you a thousand times of the danger of it?
uc1.31175024000047	Hard at it as usual, eh?
uc1.31175024000047	Has any one passed this way be- fore us?"
uc1.31175024000047	Has any one passed?"
uc1.31175024000047	Have some more rum?"
uc1.31175024000047	Have ye nothing betther to do than to block up the door of a decent office?"
uc1.31175024000047	Have you chosen the right sort of men for agents?
uc1.31175024000047	Have you heard dat Mr. Ezra Girdlestone is about to be married?
uc1.31175024000047	Have you seen three men on horseback?"
uc1.31175024000047	He has taken the place of my father. ” Hum! ” Tom said dubiously; and then, with a little pang at his heart, “ Do you like Ezra Girdlestone too?
uc1.31175024000047	Hey there, Billy, ye divil's brat, where's the mail bag?
uc1.31175024000047	How about a medical certificate?"
uc1.31175024000047	How are my stud- buttons?
uc1.31175024000047	How are we to know?"
uc1.31175024000047	How are ye? ”.
uc1.31175024000047	How are you, dad?
uc1.31175024000047	How are you, mam dear?
uc1.31175024000047	How are you, my dear major?"
uc1.31175024000047	How could she hesitate to believe it when it was confirmed by his avoidance of Eccleston Square and of herself?
uc1.31175024000047	How could you do it- oh, how could you have the heart?"
uc1.31175024000047	How d'ye do?"
uc1.31175024000047	How dare you address me so?"
uc1.31175024000047	How do the tubes enable the creature to walk?
uc1.31175024000047	How do you like the grounds, then?
uc1.31175024000047	How do you work it?
uc1.31175024000047	How does a thousand pound stroike you?
uc1.31175024000047	How does it create a vacuum?'
uc1.31175024000047	How does this creature walk?"
uc1.31175024000047	How d’ye do, Richardson, how d'ye do?
uc1.31175024000047	How d’ye do?
uc1.31175024000047	How far to Bedsworth, guard?"
uc1.31175024000047	How has all gone since you have been down here?
uc1.31175024000047	How is it that none of those ships go down?
uc1.31175024000047	How is it that you have never been to see us?
uc1.31175024000047	How is it, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	How long have we to do it in?
uc1.31175024000047	How was it that they now, for the first time, struck her as being terrible?
uc1.31175024000047	How will that do?
uc1.31175024000047	How will the money go if the doctors are right?"
uc1.31175024000047	How will you have it?"
uc1.31175024000047	I am sure that you would do anything to serve me, would you not?'
uc1.31175024000047	I am then to tilegraph or write this lie to England and git it inserted in the papers?
uc1.31175024000047	I believe I am right in my figures, Mr. Gilray?"
uc1.31175024000047	I do n't think we need fear the coroner, or any one else then?"
uc1.31175024000047	I hope dere is nothing wrong mit my good vriend, Madame Scully? ” he remarked at last.
uc1.31175024000047	I hope he has not been overworking himself?"
uc1.31175024000047	I suppose she is fit to go that distance?
uc1.31175024000047	I think cook and Jane and William ought to be able to look after me among them. ” And I wo n't see you at all?"
uc1.31175024000047	I'm afraid he wo n't,"answered Kate, Why not?"
uc1.31175024000047	I've been out of a billet for some time, and Muster Girdle- stone he came to me and he says, “ You're William Stevens, hesquire?'
uc1.31175024000047	If the African merchant were capable of this, what might he not be capable of?
uc1.31175024000047	If thread and cotton ca n't stand it, how's the linin'of a poor cove's stomach, I'd like to know?"
uc1.31175024000047	If we go up quietly and openly, and come down quietly and openly, who is to suspect anything?
uc1.31175024000047	If you can give me your word of honour when I come back that you've given up your naughty ways, why then-"What then?
uc1.31175024000047	Instead of that, her eye fell upon the signa- ture of Ezra Girdlestone, What could he have to say to, her?
uc1.31175024000047	Is it a merchant you mean?"
uc1.31175024000047	Is it he, or that smug- faced villain behind the bar, who, for the sake of the gain of a few greasy coppers, gives him the poison that maddens him?
uc1.31175024000047	Is it not terrible that such a business should go to ruin?
uc1.31175024000047	Is n't that Mr. Dimsdale down there?"
uc1.31175024000047	Is n't there any more about it? ” they cried.
uc1.31175024000047	Is that it-'Discovery of great Diamond Moines?!!!
uc1.31175024000047	Is the Maid of Athens unload- ing?"
uc1.31175024000047	Is this known in the City?
uc1.31175024000047	It has grieved me more than I can tell. ” Then you intend to pension the wives?"
uc1.31175024000047	It is a case of malignant typhoid. ” “ You are very old friends?
uc1.31175024000047	It is an excellent commencement of the day. ” “ What text should I think of?
uc1.31175024000047	It is as well to do so when you can not go to church. ” And why should you prevent me from going to church?
uc1.31175024000047	It is not a matter of personal inclination, but of conscience. ” “ And how long is this to last?"
uc1.31175024000047	It looks like a gallows. ” What is there to live for?, ” said his father, looking up with the cold light glittering on his deep- set eyes.
uc1.31175024000047	It was the devil of a fight to keep things straight last week. ” What's the matter with your lip?
uc1.31175024000047	It was too bad to put you to such a trial, was n't it?
uc1.31175024000047	It's what might weel be described as pandemoniacal. ” Is he often like that, then?
uc1.31175024000047	Lavinia, ” said he, you have been straight with me, and, bedad, I'll be so with you?
uc1.31175024000047	Let me be quite sure that I understand you, ” he said, “ You wish me to go to Russia?"
uc1.31175024000047	Let us sind Susan out for à bottle of claret?
uc1.31175024000047	Let's have a deal, my tear Mr. Fugger, do?"
uc1.31175024000047	Major- general Scully, did you say?
uc1.31175024000047	May I request you to take a seat?"
uc1.31175024000047	McTavish? ” he asked, as a hard- lined, angular woman responded to his summons."
uc1.31175024000047	My Gott, vot is to become of us all?
uc1.31175024000047	No, not a spot. ” Why not?"
uc1.31175024000047	Noble aim, Girdlestone- glorious object. ” “ What is the object?
uc1.31175024000047	Not Miss Harston?
uc1.31175024000047	Not in it, ai n't ye?
uc1.31175024000047	Not much worth now, is it?
uc1.31175024000047	Nothing?'
uc1.31175024000047	Now are you satisfied?"
uc1.31175024000047	Now, of what gas was that bubble composed?"
uc1.31175024000047	Now, that same pride of hers will forbid her ever thinking of that young man again. ” And you had the letter written?
uc1.31175024000047	Now, what I purpose is to work through you, d'ye see?
uc1.31175024000047	Now, what the divil d’ye want?."
uc1.31175024000047	Now?"
uc1.31175024000047	Of course a list of the donations will be printed and circulated?"
uc1.31175024000047	Of course we should have to pay him. ”'Them, you mean? ” “ No, we should only want one man. ” How about our purchaser at the diamond fields?
uc1.31175024000047	Of course we should have to pay him. ”'Them, you mean? ” “ No, we should only want one man. ” How about our purchaser at the diamond fields?
uc1.31175024000047	Of course, of course, why should n't it?
uc1.31175024000047	Of what use are they?
uc1.31175024000047	Oh, Rebecca, Rebecca, what shall I do?"
uc1.31175024000047	On the other hand, could it have chanced that Tom had met this lady of the opera, and that her charms had proved too much for his con- stancy?
uc1.31175024000047	On, Cousin Tom, do n't be foolish; I can protect myself very well. ” try?
uc1.31175024000047	Once out of sight of England and on the broad ocean, what detective could follow their track?
uc1.31175024000047	One who trades with the Afri- kaner?"
uc1.31175024000047	People can look over their garden walls without our in- terfering with them, ca n't they?"
uc1.31175024000047	Rebecca,"said Ezra slowly, “ do you hate Kate Harston?
uc1.31175024000047	Repent before it is too late?"
uc1.31175024000047	Shall I light the lantern?
uc1.31175024000047	Shall I see you to- night?"
uc1.31175024000047	Shall I send in the policeman, sir?
uc1.31175024000047	Shall we say to- morrow evening for the job?'
uc1.31175024000047	She sent me'ere with a message?
uc1.31175024000047	She will be awfully astonished. ” “ How about Girdlestone?"
uc1.31175024000047	Should she accept this chance of escape, or should she wait some word from her friends?
uc1.31175024000047	Small- pox at Wellington'--that's not it, is it?
uc1.31175024000047	Spoke like that, did he?
uc1.31175024000047	Straight now, between man and man?
uc1.31175024000047	Suppose I have?"
uc1.31175024000047	Suppose she did n't?'
uc1.31175024000047	Suppose we send out for a bottle of sparkling, eh?"
uc1.31175024000047	Surely you are not going, sir?"
uc1.31175024000047	Surely you're not keeping anything secret from your old mother?"
uc1.31175024000047	That was n't you, was it?"
uc1.31175024000047	That was surely impossible; yet why was it that he had ceased to walk through the square?
uc1.31175024000047	That's it?"
uc1.31175024000047	That's nigh about the only visitors we ever gets here; bean't it, Jarge?
uc1.31175024000047	That's sense, mates, ai n't it?"
uc1.31175024000047	The difference is that I'm going to git it now. ” “ And for what?'
uc1.31175024000047	The fall in prices is sure to be permanent, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	The gallows would be a nice end to all your preaching and praying, would n't it?
uc1.31175024000047	The mail's just in. ” Mail from Capetown?."
uc1.31175024000047	The same intelligent eye, the same cheery expression, the same devil- may- care manner and dry humour- Answer my question, will you?
uc1.31175024000047	The taller one returned to the charge, however, with, And this muscle- is it composed of striped fibres or non- striped?
uc1.31175024000047	The what?"
uc1.31175024000047	Then I up anchor and s. They scooted. ” There are sharks about there?"
uc1.31175024000047	Then, turning blandly towards him, he said in the mildest of tones- Have you ever rowed in a pond?"
uc1.31175024000047	They are for exporting to Europe, and if Europe is already supplied by Russia, where are you to get your market?"
uc1.31175024000047	They ca n't get off the high road, can they?".
uc1.31175024000047	They cracked and crumbled beneath her feet, but what would she not dare to see a friendly human face?
uc1.31175024000047	Three of your men died, I believe?
uc1.31175024000047	To whom do these things belong?
uc1.31175024000047	Too busy trying to catch yours truly, eh?
uc1.31175024000047	Vat is it?"
uc1.31175024000047	Very rich?
uc1.31175024000047	Vot is it then?"
uc1.31175024000047	Vot is to become of de diamond trade ven one can pick them up like cockles on the sea shore?
uc1.31175024000047	Was I not right?
uc1.31175024000047	Was he, too, under some delusion, or the victim of some conspiracy?
uc1.31175024000047	Was his word to be depended on under any circumstances?
uc1.31175024000047	Was it a confirmation of the German's report, or was it a contradiction of it?
uc1.31175024000047	Was n't that a very sad and unaccountable thing?
uc1.31175024000047	Was this challenge the business upon which you came?"
uc1.31175024000047	We saw them together at the opera, did n't we, Kate?"
uc1.31175024000047	Well, I told him of your high descent, and that you were a traveller, a soldier, and a man of steady and trustworthy habits. ”"Eh?"
uc1.31175024000047	Well, but so you Eh, would ye?
uc1.31175024000047	Well, doctor,"the merchant asked, patient?
uc1.31175024000047	Well, go on- what about her?
uc1.31175024000047	Well, what more can I do? ” replied the merchant.
uc1.31175024000047	What am I to do down at Bedsworth?"
uc1.31175024000047	What are the Government inspectors for?
uc1.31175024000047	What are the different foramina of the sphenoid bone, and what structures pass through them?
uc1.31175024000047	What are we to do now eh?
uc1.31175024000047	What are you afther at all?"
uc1.31175024000047	What are you driving at?
uc1.31175024000047	What can I do for you?
uc1.31175024000047	What can be the meaning of this?
uc1.31175024000047	What can we do?
uc1.31175024000047	What can you expect for a Geneva?"
uc1.31175024000047	What could be sadder than that the bread- winner of a family should be cut off?
uc1.31175024000047	What could be the matter, then?
uc1.31175024000047	What could he do now to repair the past?
uc1.31175024000047	What d'ye know about her?
uc1.31175024000047	What d'ye say to splitting a bottle of Beaune, and paying for it from the common purse?'
uc1.31175024000047	What d'ye think of that?"
uc1.31175024000047	What deep scheme could these men have invented to keep him away from her during these long weeks?
uc1.31175024000047	What did you do? ” “ I untied it and brought it inside, but it died during the night."
uc1.31175024000047	What do you know about cacodyl?"
uc1.31175024000047	What do you think about this report? ” he asked, in a confidential voice.
uc1.31175024000047	What do you think of John Harston's daughter? ” “ She's right enough,"the young man answered brus- quely.
uc1.31175024000047	What do you think of it, dad?"
uc1.31175024000047	What explanation could there be, then, for his conduct?
uc1.31175024000047	What fresh villainy was this?
uc1.31175024000047	What good has he ever done himself?
uc1.31175024000047	What have I done that is so dreadful?
uc1.31175024000047	What have you done with it?"
uc1.31175024000047	What have you done?"
uc1.31175024000047	What have you told him that keeps him away?
uc1.31175024000047	What if she fails to come?"
uc1.31175024000047	What is all this nonsense about death?
uc1.31175024000047	What is it I want?"
uc1.31175024000047	What is it that you want?"
uc1.31175024000047	What is it, me boy?"
uc1.31175024000047	What is that in the bottle over there?
uc1.31175024000047	What is the object of your visit to- day?
uc1.31175024000047	What is the truth of it, Mr. Girdlestone?
uc1.31175024000047	What makes you look at me so strangely?"
uc1.31175024000047	What makes you stand about like that?
uc1.31175024000047	What of that?"
uc1.31175024000047	What shall I do for paper?
uc1.31175024000047	What shall I do?
uc1.31175024000047	What the deuce could cause him to do such a thing?"
uc1.31175024000047	What was I talking of at all at all?"
uc1.31175024000047	What was Tom doing now?
uc1.31175024000047	What was our turn over last month, Gilray?"
uc1.31175024000047	What was to occur then?
uc1.31175024000047	What will Clutterbuck and the fellows at the club say?
uc1.31175024000047	What will that matter?
uc1.31175024000047	What will you bid for it?'
uc1.31175024000047	What will you drink?"
uc1.31175024000047	What would knock him senseless?"
uc1.31175024000047	What would you do if there should be any hitch and the affair did not come off?
uc1.31175024000047	What would you do if they were treated as I have been?
uc1.31175024000047	What's he a- goin'to do that for?"
uc1.31175024000047	What's her name, and where does she come from?
uc1.31175024000047	What's in the common purse, I wonder?"
uc1.31175024000047	What's the news?
uc1.31175024000047	What's the town? ” asked Ezra.
uc1.31175024000047	What's the use of being milk- and- watery about it?"
uc1.31175024000047	What's the use of having a good balance at your banker's, if you do n't live better than your neighbours?"
uc1.31175024000047	What's this?
uc1.31175024000047	What- ever will the guests say?
uc1.31175024000047	When am I to know?"
uc1.31175024000047	When could I see you?"
uc1.31175024000047	When d'ye want me to( start?"
uc1.31175024000047	When were her friends coming?
uc1.31175024000047	Where are the others?
uc1.31175024000047	Where d'ye think we found him?
uc1.31175024000047	Where is he?"
uc1.31175024000047	Where will you sleep, sir?"
uc1.31175024000047	Where's Jim?'
uc1.31175024000047	Where's Jim?'
uc1.31175024000047	Where's my servant Pete?
uc1.31175024000047	Where's the captain?"
uc1.31175024000047	Which way are you going? ” he asked.
uc1.31175024000047	Who am I?
uc1.31175024000047	Who are you?
uc1.31175024000047	Who can prevent him?
uc1.31175024000047	Who can say now that the days of chivalry are past?'
uc1.31175024000047	Who did you say your friends were?"
uc1.31175024000047	Who has an interest in them?
uc1.31175024000047	Who is a- comin'with me?"
uc1.31175024000047	Who painted out those Plimsoll marks?"
uc1.31175024000047	Who said there was news?"
uc1.31175024000047	Who was it that we carried through the wood and laid upon the rails?
uc1.31175024000047	Who was it?
uc1.31175024000047	Who was the girl, do you know?
uc1.31175024000047	Who was this fellow, and what connexion had he with the matter on hand?
uc1.31175024000047	Who will know about it?"
uc1.31175024000047	Who would be surprised to hear that she had passed away?
uc1.31175024000047	Who'd have thought then that I should have died like a dog in this wilderness?
uc1.31175024000047	Who's the gal?
uc1.31175024000047	Why are seamen such improvident dogs? ” His father held up his white hand deprecatingly.
uc1.31175024000047	Why beat about the bush any longer?
uc1.31175024000047	Why do n't you make old Miggs bore a hole in them, or put a light to a barrel of paraffin?
uc1.31175024000047	Why have they left London, and where have they gone to?"
uc1.31175024000047	Why is it that you treat me in this cruel way?
uc1.31175024000047	Why not? ” she asked, laughing.
uc1.31175024000047	Why should I be taken to this horrible, horrible place?"
uc1.31175024000047	Why should she subject herself to the certainty of constant harshness and unkindness which would await her?
uc1.31175024000047	Why such a friend as that?"
uc1.31175024000047	Why wo n't you let me pass?"
uc1.31175024000047	Why wo n't you trust me with it?"
uc1.31175024000047	Will you go?"
uc1.31175024000047	Will you have the hatches off at once?"
uc1.31175024000047	Wo n't you bid for it, then?'
uc1.31175024000047	Would it occur to him to do the same in the case of the back door?
uc1.31175024000047	Would they come boldly up the avenue and claim her from the Girdlestones, or would they endeavour to communicate with her first?
uc1.31175024000047	Would you cut and run, or would you stand by your colours and pay a shilling or so in the pound?
uc1.31175024000047	Would you like to see it, Mr. Girdlestone?"
uc1.31175024000047	Would you trust them?"
uc1.31175024000047	Ye must speak to him about it. ” “ What do you mean, sir?"
uc1.31175024000047	Yes, he is sure to pass, ” the doctor answered; “ but- bless my soul, who's this?"
uc1.31175024000047	Yes, it is a sad business; but what else is there?
uc1.31175024000047	Yes,"said Tom stoutly, though his ideas on the sub- ject were rather vague. ” And how does this sucker act?
uc1.31175024000047	Yet, at the time, I assure you that I saw it as plainly as I see you now. ” “ What's that she says?"
uc1.31175024000047	You 284 THE FIRM OF GIRDLESTONE, git?
uc1.31175024000047	You are better, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	You are prepared, then,"said Ezra, glancing keenly at him, to put yourself at our orders on condition that you are well paid for it?"
uc1.31175024000047	You did n't know Towler, of the Sappers?
uc1.31175024000047	You did n't know Willoughby, eh?
uc1.31175024000047	You did n't say that, did you?
uc1.31175024000047	You did n't speak to him?
uc1.31175024000047	You do n't dislike me, Kate, do you?"
uc1.31175024000047	You do n't know what the news was that the man was bringing?
uc1.31175024000047	You do n't mean to say that you would marry suppose you had the chance?"
uc1.31175024000047	You do n't tell me that he is going to marry Miss Harston?"
uc1.31175024000047	You follow me?"
uc1.31175024000047	You have n't got him out of your head, though he is off with another girl. ” How dare you speak to me so?"
uc1.31175024000047	You have the goodness to suggist that on me way I should rook me fellow- passengers in the boat?
uc1.31175024000047	You have your stones all safe, though? ” he stam- mered out at last.
uc1.31175024000047	You hear me, eh?'
uc1.31175024000047	You know Tommy of the 81$t?
uc1.31175024000047	You met a man riding towards Jacobsdal, did you not?
uc1.31175024000047	You said five hundred pounds? ” A thousand,"the major answered cheerfully.
uc1.31175024000047	You say you have been living here for three weeks?"
uc1.31175024000047	You see I am not afraid, Mr. Burt, am I?
uc1.31175024000047	You see, Farintosh, ” he remarked, “ it might be a false alarm, might it not?"
uc1.31175024000047	You shall have that if you will let me through?"
uc1.31175024000047	You would want the capital of a Rothschild?"
uc1.31175024000047	You'd reduce my screw, would ye?
uc1.31175024000047	You're not going, are you?"
uc1.31175024000047	Your own good sinse, me dear sir, will tell you that he would be culpably foolish- culpably so, bedad I ” “ Well, sir?"
uc1.31175024000047	does the Priory suit you?
uc1.31175024000047	does the young puppy want to come poaching upon our preserves for?
uc1.31175024000047	five more when Lord Dungeness turns up his toes. ” “ Indeed?
uc1.31175024000047	for your first professional in a few weeks, I understand?"
uc1.31175024000047	hard on And what became of the negro?
uc1.31175024000047	he cried; are they never going to come?.
uc1.31175024000047	ing you here?"
uc1.31175024000047	know who the young lady is that he is talking to?"
uc1.31175024000047	letter?"
uc1.31175024000047	of their studies?
uc1.31175024000047	roared O'Flaherty, more angrily than ever;"and ca n't ye foind out that by paying your sixpences like men, and taking the Advertoiser?
uc1.31175024000047	the merchant began,"is Mr. Dimsdale in the office?
uc1.31175024000047	tive Trinitarians, and sits in the front pew three times every Sunday?"
uc1.31175024000047	what have we here?
uc1.31175024000047	without the money?
uc1.31175024000047	you care to invest?"
uc1.31175024000047	you?
uc1.31175024000047	you?
uc1.31175024000047	· Are you, indeed?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ A shell, major?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Absence?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ And Mrs. Dimsdale, how is she?
uc1.31175024000047	“ And how would you do it? ” Ezra asked, in a hoarse whisper “ No violence, I hope."
uc1.31175024000047	“ And if he has done this, what can I do?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ And the balance?
uc1.31175024000047	“ And what became of this British star?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ And why not?
uc1.31175024000047	“ And you really thought we had forgotten you because we were insane enough to stop writing at that villain's request?
uc1.31175024000047	“ And you, Tom, you rogue, is this the way you spend your mornings?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Are you going out?
uc1.31175024000047	“ At it again?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Be jabers! ” he said, in a wheezy voice,"d'ye think I came five miles to do that?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Because what?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Blessed if he has n't tears in his eyes! ” Ezra exclaimed to himself, much astonished at this unprecedented oc- currence, When do you go?
uc1.31175024000047	“ But how about yourselves, if what you say is true?
uc1.31175024000047	“ But how on earth are you going to buy all the diamonds in?
uc1.31175024000047	“ But if you have only a part of the supply in your hands, how are you to regulate the market value?
uc1.31175024000047	“ But in're are Government inspectors?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ But the smell?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Ca n't you see him yet?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Can I have a word with you, Fugger?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Come vere?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Could we get an impression?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Did ye say it would send the price of claims down?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Did you post my note?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Did you see her?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Do light a cigarette?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Do n't you see him crawling along the ground?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Do n't you think, Ezra, ” he said, clutching his son's arm,"that is a very foolish saying about murder will out'?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Do you imagine that it will affect prices in Africa?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Do you mean to assert that it was?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Does he, though?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Eh, mister, what's that?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Get run down?".
uc1.31175024000047	“ Got what, sir?'
uc1.31175024000047	“ Ha! ” his companion cried with great satisfaction, “ it is, is it?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Had n't you better take a seat?, ” he said.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Has n't we got a grown- up son?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Have they any circulation?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Have you come to insult him in his absence?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ His body does not, but his soul, Ezra, his soul?
uc1.31175024000047	“ How am I to get a man of any standing to do such a piece of business? ” he said.'
uc1.31175024000047	“ How can it depend upon me?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ How do we know that such rumours will get about; and if they do, how do we know that they will prove to be unfounded?
uc1.31175024000047	“ How do, Girdlestone, how do?
uc1.31175024000047	“ How many teeth has a rabbit?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ How will you do that?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Hullo, what's this?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ I think I saw you with Mrs. Scully yesterday?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ I wonder what your mother will say?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ I wonder whether she will come?
uc1.31175024000047	“ I wonder, ” thought Tom to himself, “ if one of these poor devils goes home and murders his wife, who ought to be hung for it?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Is Mr. Girdlestone in?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Is his father a Kauffmann?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Is that the way ho speaks after we makes him?
uc1.31175024000047	“ It is a secret, then?
uc1.31175024000047	“ It's some sort of antediluvian reptile, is n't it?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Look here, major,"the latter said, when they came into their room, is it well to tell a Brussian gentleman to go to the devil?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Miss Harston, is she at home? ” he said excitedly.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Most fortunate? ” he exclaimed gleefully.
uc1.31175024000047	“ No, John, was she though?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Not- not his ward?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Of course, I my own people, dearest, about our engagement?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Oh, that's the idea, is it? ” remarked the junior partner, with a very unpleasant smile.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Oh, they correspond?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Oh, you do, do you?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Some one is beating carpets, How can they expect poor Tom to read?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ The question is, did you do anything that your father was ashamed off?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Then perhaps you can tell me what the structures are which pass through the foramina of the sphenoid?
uc1.31175024000047	“ There is no chance of his turning up here and spoiling the whole business?'
uc1.31175024000047	“ Third floor front, sir. ” “ Is he in?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Von't you buy them yourself, Mr. Fugger?
uc1.31175024000047	“ We can begin getting our cargo out, I suppose?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Well, what's the news?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What are ye after at all?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What are ye crying about?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What are ye up to now?'
uc1.31175024000047	“ What be he a suckin'at?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What d'ye think of that?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What d'ye think of that?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What d'ye want to stand asking questions for?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What did you mean by speculating without my knowledge, and telling me at the same time that I knew all that was done?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What do you mean? ” What do I mean?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What do you mean? ” What do I mean?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What for did you make him your friend, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What for? ” for ye.
uc1.31175024000047	“ What have I done that I should be so unhappy?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What is it that you have seen?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What is it, my boy?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What is the highest as yet?'
uc1.31175024000047	“ What is their address, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What is this?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What right had you to come to me with such a pro- posal?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What sort of news?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What steps have you taken?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What the divil is a Kauffmann?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What will you give?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's that, mother?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's the good of having a pilot aboard if I am to keep sober? ” he hiccoughed to his mate McPherson.
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's the matter now?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's the matter then?
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's the matter with the place?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's the matter with you, father?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's the matter, then?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ What's up with'him?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Where are Jorrocks and Rebecca?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Where are you taking me, my son?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Where does he keep'em?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Where is the key? ” “ On his watch- chain."
uc1.31175024000047	“ Who could foresee such a thing? ” the old man said plaintively.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Who is that man who has come down?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Who is the lady?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Who is this young lady? ” he asked, pointing to Kate.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Why so?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Will you go? ” Yes, of course I will, and so shall you.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Wo n't he give us nothing to remembrance him by?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Wo n't he give us somethin'at partin'?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Would n't I?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ Would the lantern be of any use to you? ” Girdlestone asked.
uc1.31175024000047	“ Yes, who won?
uc1.31175024000047	“ Yes. ” “ And been took- received by her?'
uc1.31175024000047	“ You ca n't write poetry, can you?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ You have given us trouble enough without that. ” Oh, why are you so harsh?"
uc1.31175024000047	“ You have n't got a drop to drink, boss?
uc1.31175024000047	“ You have probosed, then? ” cried the good- natured German, forgetting all about his grievance in an instant.
uc1.31175024000047	“ You heard of the breaking of the Agra Bank?

uva.x000391559	Always?
uva.x000391559	Am I a parrot that I can not open my lips without old George popping out of them? uva.x000391559 Am I your only guest to- night?"
uva.x000391559	And Cullen?
uva.x000391559	And Glen measured the distance correctly?
uva.x000391559	And as for the key — of what consequence is it at all if you never lock your door?
uva.x000391559	And now that you are come, what is it you mean to do?
uva.x000391559	And the knife on the table's edge?
uva.x000391559	And the negro?
uva.x000391559	And what are we to do now?
uva.x000391559	And what had Dick Parmiter to do with Cullen Mayle?
uva.x000391559	And what sort of answer is that? uva.x000391559 And what then?"
uva.x000391559	And what's brought you to London? uva.x000391559 And who was this stranger?"
uva.x000391559	And you followed out the directions?
uva.x000391559	And you will do that?
uva.x000391559	And — shall I tell you?
uva.x000391559	Are we women?
uva.x000391559	Are you sure of that? uva.x000391559 Are you sure of that?"
uva.x000391559	Are you sure you have made no mistake?
uva.x000391559	Are you sure?
uva.x000391559	As much as that?
uva.x000391559	Because he comes home with wealth untold?
uva.x000391559	But Cullen Mayle does n't know,said Roper,"else would he have gone hunting to Sierra Leone for it?"
uva.x000391559	But here, beyond Axminster"Well?
uva.x000391559	But how am I to get into the house, without you rouse the household?
uva.x000391559	But if not?
uva.x000391559	But since you neither tell the truth nor tell lies, what in the world do you do?
uva.x000391559	But where are we to look for it?
uva.x000391559	But why? uva.x000391559 But you know of him?"
uva.x000391559	But, Mr. Berkeley, you per- haps will join me in a pipe and a glass of rum? uva.x000391559 Can you see a picture on the wall?"
uva.x000391559	Could he have needed a key for any other purpose? uva.x000391559 Could you write them out again, word for word and line for line, as they were written?"
uva.x000391559	Dick?
uva.x000391559	Did I not tell you you were sent here to a good end?
uva.x000391559	Did he name the ship by any chance?
uva.x000391559	Did you go up to Star Castle?
uva.x000391559	Did you mention Peter Tortue?
uva.x000391559	Did you speak of the Royal Fortune?
uva.x000391559	Did you speak to Captain Hathaway?
uva.x000391559	Did you tell Parmiter?
uva.x000391559	Did you tell the girl?
uva.x000391559	Do you doubt I have a horse?
uva.x000391559	Do you see?
uva.x000391559	Do you tell them — shall we say quibbles, — then?
uva.x000391559	Do you wish to cross to Tresco?
uva.x000391559	For what?
uva.x000391559	From St. Mary's you crossed the island to Merchant's Point?
uva.x000391559	Had Dick crossed with Adam Mayle from Tresco?
uva.x000391559	Half for you, half for Cullen,said I; and 188 THE WATCHERS a noise, and I cried out,'What's that?'
uva.x000391559	Has he come?
uva.x000391559	Has the boy come back?
uva.x000391559	Has your traveller come out from that wood?
uva.x000391559	He has not spoken?
uva.x000391559	He told you what?
uva.x000391559	He was quartermaster with Adam Mayle at Whydah, eh? uva.x000391559 How?"
uva.x000391559	How?
uva.x000391559	How?
uva.x000391559	I helped Cullen Mayle through the window, the night his father drove him from the house,said he,"and""What's that you say?"
uva.x000391559	I must walk those twelve miles?
uva.x000391559	I wonder who in the world can have visited the Abbey burial- ground and rifled that grave?
uva.x000391559	I — told it — to Cullen Mayle?
uva.x000391559	In God's name what has happened, Helen?
uva.x000391559	Is she French?
uva.x000391559	Is that all?
uva.x000391559	Is that shed ever used?
uva.x000391559	Is that so sure?
uva.x000391559	Is there more ill- news?
uva.x000391559	It is yours?
uva.x000391559	Money, is it not?
uva.x000391559	My dear sir, who?
uva.x000391559	Not to a living soul?
uva.x000391559	Now, who will be Lieutenant Clutterbuck's timorous visitor?
uva.x000391559	Oh, he made you swear that?
uva.x000391559	Or has Cullen Mayle returned?
uva.x000391559	Or rather had a horse? uva.x000391559 Quibbles?"
uva.x000391559	See?
uva.x000391559	Shall I go out and search for him in the high- ways and hedges?
uva.x000391559	Shall I lend you some hair- powder?
uva.x000391559	So Cullen Mayle would not have needed a key to lock the shed?
uva.x000391559	So you carried him across to St. Mary's, and he told you, I think, that he had been quarter- master with Adam Mayle at Whydah, on the Guinea coast?
uva.x000391559	Sure?
uva.x000391559	That is a heath?
uva.x000391559	The next morning? uva.x000391559 Then Adam Mayle used it?"
uva.x000391559	To the girl Helen?
uva.x000391559	To- night?
uva.x000391559	Was ever a man so vilely travestied?
uva.x000391559	Was you with us on the Sierra Leone River? uva.x000391559 Well, Dick, what's the news from Scilly?"
uva.x000391559	Well, has your cavalier galloped into the open yet?
uva.x000391559	Well, is n't the cross thick with them?
uva.x000391559	Well, what do you say?
uva.x000391559	Well, where is Parmiter?
uva.x000391559	Well, where is the plan?
uva.x000391559	Were they safe there?
uva.x000391559	What did Cullen Mayle use it for?
uva.x000391559	What did you discover at St. Mary's besides a milliner?
uva.x000391559	What did you do there?
uva.x000391559	What do you propose?
uva.x000391559	What has happened?
uva.x000391559	What if he is lying at the roadside under the trees?
uva.x000391559	What if his horse has stumbled?
uva.x000391559	What if that one tiny word Royal For- tune has sent them at a scamper into hiding?
uva.x000391559	What if the face were mine?
uva.x000391559	What if the face were mine?
uva.x000391559	What is it? uva.x000391559 What is it?"
uva.x000391559	What is it?
uva.x000391559	What o'clock is it?
uva.x000391559	What should I steal the key for?
uva.x000391559	What's that?
uva.x000391559	What's that?
uva.x000391559	What's that?
uva.x000391559	What's this?
uva.x000391559	What, Dick?
uva.x000391559	What?
uva.x000391559	When did he leave the island, then?
uva.x000391559	When did she die?
uva.x000391559	Where is Dick?
uva.x000391559	Where's Adam Mayle buried?
uva.x000391559	Where?
uva.x000391559	Who was he? uva.x000391559 Who's cap'en here, Peter Tortue?"
uva.x000391559	Who? uva.x000391559 Who?"
uva.x000391559	Whom does it belong to?
uva.x000391559	Why Crackers?
uva.x000391559	Why does George Glen watch for Cullen Mayle? uva.x000391559 Why does he wait?
uva.x000391559	Why not since we have you? uva.x000391559 Why should the plan have been put back, then?"
uva.x000391559	Why?
uva.x000391559	Will I get a horse there?
uva.x000391559	Will you be frank with me if I do?
uva.x000391559	Will you do that?
uva.x000391559	Will you follow me to the'Dolphin?'
uva.x000391559	Would he speak, do you think?
uva.x000391559	Would the world shiver if I died? uva.x000391559 Yes,"said he;"am I likely to forget it?"
uva.x000391559	You came back from St. Mary's to New Grimsby?
uva.x000391559	You can?
uva.x000391559	You come from Mr. Cullen Mayle?
uva.x000391559	You do not, then, any longer believe that I deceived you?
uva.x000391559	You go to- day?
uva.x000391559	You have a message from him?
uva.x000391559	You have been here — how long? — I have watched you,she said very gently.
uva.x000391559	You have kept your horse,and as I wished him good- night, he added,"you will be careful to shut the door behind you, wo n't you?"
uva.x000391559	You hear? uva.x000391559 You knew Adam?"
uva.x000391559	You know me?
uva.x000391559	You were over to St. Mary's to- day?
uva.x000391559	You will go, then?
uva.x000391559	You would go a stranger and offer your unsought aid? uva.x000391559 'And where am I to sleep to- night, Dick?' uva.x000391559 'What will you do? uva.x000391559 '• Well, what if — it is a mere guess, but a likely one, I presume to think,—what if the chains were Cornish chains? uva.x000391559 A LOST KEY 129Now, do you see?"
uva.x000391559	Adam's blatant jests were enough to set any man's teeth on edge, yet Cullen made as though he did not hear a word of them, and talked politely?
uva.x000391559	And by whom?
uva.x000391559	And how could such deep love mate with duplicity?
uva.x000391559	And when the couple of days has gone?"
uva.x000391559	And why should any one wish to assure himself I slept?
uva.x000391559	Are those five men still watching the house?"
uva.x000391559	Are you daft, eh, Steve?"
uva.x000391559	Are you daft, then?
uva.x000391559	Are you daft?"
uva.x000391559	But 74 THE WATCHERS should I tell him of the men who watched for his coming, keeping their watches as at sea?
uva.x000391559	But Tortue picked me up, and as he did so whispered in my ear:"Is the plan there?"
uva.x000391559	But are you sure of the date?"
uva.x000391559	But had she?
uva.x000391559	But he said nothing until we were opposite to the Blockhouse, and then he asked in a low trembling voice:"Did you say Peter Tortue?"
uva.x000391559	But no one saw him go?"
uva.x000391559	But what return?"
uva.x000391559	But why could she not have been frank with me?
uva.x000391559	Can you remember the paper with the directions of the spot where the cross was buried?"
uva.x000391559	Could I forget it?
uva.x000391559	Did Dick Parmiter come with you this morning?"
uva.x000391559	Did he come as a friend to that dis- tracted girl alone in the lonely house by the sand?
uva.x000391559	Did she understand?
uva.x000391559	Did you ask him for it?"
uva.x000391559	Did you ever meet a spirit that trod with the weight of a body?"
uva.x000391559	Did you know him?"
uva.x000391559	Do you always tell womenfolk the truth?"
uva.x000391559	Do you hear that?"
uva.x000391559	Do you hear that?"
uva.x000391559	Do you know that, too?"
uva.x000391559	Do you remember?
uva.x000391559	Do you tell your womenfolk lies, when the truth is not good for them to know?"
uva.x000391559	Does the reed always break if you lean upon it?
uva.x000391559	Else, how could she speak with so earnest a tongue or look with eyes so steady?
uva.x000391559	For it is your doing that they are gone?"
uva.x000391559	Had she come from the shed?
uva.x000391559	Had she noticed the scarf?
uva.x000391559	Has Captain Hathaway lost his Diodorus Siculus and sent you to town to buy him another?
uva.x000391559	Has it come to a strait- waistcoat?
uva.x000391559	Have you come to see the king in his golden crown?
uva.x000391559	He bade you go home, enter his room, where no one would hear you, and — don't you see?
uva.x000391559	He suddenly thrust the map again under my nose,"What do you see upon the road?"
uva.x000391559	How are you sure?"
uva.x000391559	How can men speak such lies?
uva.x000391559	How could I speak of that night when I slept in Cullen Mayle's bedroom?
uva.x000391559	How did George Glen or Adam Mayle or Peter Tortue( for he alone of Glen's assistants was of an age to have shipped on the Royal Fortune) escape?
uva.x000391559	How did he know it unless you told him on Castle Down?
uva.x000391559	How far is it to Rockbere?"
uva.x000391559	How shall we do that?"
uva.x000391559	I said:"Where are you to look for the plan?
uva.x000391559	I thought over all that Glen had said to- night — was a clue to be got there?
uva.x000391559	I was particu- lar to ask you to close the door?"
uva.x000391559	If I had betrayed your secret, do you think I should be walking home alone, and you upon the island?
uva.x000391559	Is he to trouble my peace un- til the Judgment Day?
uva.x000391559	Is it a sore head?
uva.x000391559	It was not I who brushed past you""And the stain?"
uva.x000391559	It was treasure they were after, but of what kind?
uva.x000391559	Lieutenant Clutterbuck broke off his story and walked uneasily once or twice across the room as though he was troubled jeven?
uva.x000391559	MAGICAL INFLUENCE OF A MAP 47"Suppose life and death are in the balance, would they weigh impertinence?"
uva.x000391559	MY FIRST NIGHT UPON TRESCO 89"And a man sitting under the picture — a squat, squabby man with white hair and small eyes very bright?"
uva.x000391559	Mayle?"
uva.x000391559	Nat Roper there, Blads, you James Skyrm, speak up, lads, was he with us?"
uva.x000391559	Now do you understand why I will not go down to Tresco?
uva.x000391559	Now what in the world had Peter Tortue re- mained behind for?
uva.x000391559	Now who?"
uva.x000391559	Now, how the deuce did it get there?
uva.x000391559	One can break bolts, one can sever bars, but a secret buried within a man, how shall one unearth it?"
uva.x000391559	Should I close, slam it to, lock it again and never open it?
uva.x000391559	Should I compel her to own where I found it and how I came by it?
uva.x000391559	Should I explain what had happened and my presence in the house?
uva.x000391559	Should I push it open, wide?
uva.x000391559	Should I strip away this pretence?
uva.x000391559	Should I wake the household?
uva.x000391559	Tell Helen Mayle precisely what?
uva.x000391559	That Adam Mayle's grave had been rifled?
uva.x000391559	Then Clutterbuck whispered quickly:"What if his horse had stumbled?
uva.x000391559	Then he said gently:"Shall I tell you why I will not go?
uva.x000391559	Then you know that she is dead?"
uva.x000391559	They had made their bargain with me, but would they keep it once they had the plan in their hands?
uva.x000391559	Three of the morning; but speak PERPLEXITIES EXPLAINED 273"How do you know?"
uva.x000391559	Was her name Mayle too?
uva.x000391559	Was his re- turn to Tresco, a prospect to be welcomed or deplored?
uva.x000391559	Was it a grim joke to be played on Cullen?"
uva.x000391559	Was it a treasure of jewels, then?
uva.x000391559	Was it specie?
uva.x000391559	Was she wife to Cullen?
uva.x000391559	What am I to do?
uva.x000391559	What can I do?
uva.x000391559	What did she need with the key?
uva.x000391559	What happened last night?
uva.x000391559	What if he is lying there at the roadside beneath the tree?"
uva.x000391559	What in the world has come to you?"
uva.x000391559	What link was there between his two visits?
uva.x000391559	What should I steal 138 THE WATCHERS the key for?"
uva.x000391559	What's come to you, who were content to drink your liquor and sit on one side while the world went by?
uva.x000391559	What, then, was it for me, who had seven years the better of Lieutenant Clutterbuck, or rather, I should say, seven years the worse?
uva.x000391559	When we were come to the foot of the stairs I asked where the kitchen was?
uva.x000391559	Where could that plan be, in what unlikely place would Adam have hid it?
uva.x000391559	Where has Cullen Mayle been these last two years?
uva.x000391559	Where will you go?'
uva.x000391559	Wherein have I not been frank with you?"
uva.x000391559	Whither had he gone from his lodging?
uva.x000391559	Why could not this secret have lain hid in me?
uva.x000391559	Why could she not have been frank to me?
uva.x000391559	Why did n't you come in?"
uva.x000391559	Why do n't you go?"
uva.x000391559	Why have you come?"
uva.x000391559	Why should Adam Mayle have been at such pains to hide the plan?
uva.x000391559	Why should I have kept it secret if I had?"
uva.x000391559	Why talk of it?
uva.x000391559	Why?
uva.x000391559	Will you fetch me my boots?'
uva.x000391559	With what countenance would she greet me?
uva.x000391559	Would even a tavern- keeper draw down his blinds?
uva.x000391559	Would he continue to wait?
uva.x000391559	Would she resent my interference?
uva.x000391559	Would you be sitting here if I had?
uva.x000391559	You closed the door behind you?
uva.x000391559	You knew Helen Mayle, perhaps?"
uva.x000391559	You will believe that?
uva.x000391559	You will come too?'
uva.x000391559	You will?
uva.x000391559	how comes it that you knew her?"
uva.x000391559	it is despicable — and you believe it?"
uva.x000391559	or is it the sight of your mischievous handiwork?"

’ ‘ Incredible, but true! ’ replied the other, with a short cackling laugh. uiug.30112002696554 ‘ And why should n’t he have it? ’ was my next inspiration; and with that I sat down in a chair to think it over. uiug.30112002696554 ‘ And you have been engaged to her long?

osu.32435059273763	Of what do you accuse my wife?"
osu.32435059273763	Only — he had to remove that thought from her mind while she was posing as Mrs. Benton. ” “ You think Cumber hypnotized her? ” “ Yes, I do.

osu.32435059273763	Will you come here a moment — to that big table?"
osu.32435059273763	Will you compare them? ” “ Will you it was you.
osu.32435059273763	Will you sit down?"
osu.32435059273763	Wo n't she have to keep in touch with him?
osu.32435059273763	Would have?
osu.32435059273763	Yes, I liked him very much before he was dead. ” “ Did he talk to you now and then?"
osu.32435059273763	Yes, the flabby man in the dingy coat, eh?
osu.32435059273763	Yes?
osu.32435059273763	Yes? ” “ I had only her signature to go on."
osu.32435059273763	You absolve me from any wrong motive?
osu.32435059273763	You are interested?
osu.32435059273763	You are mad. ” “ Will you help me prove that I am mad? ” 262 MR. GUELPA pores it will carry on unchanged into old age- and death.
osu.32435059273763	You are the man to whom I must respond. ”"You were told- by him- your control, to an- swer me?"
osu.32435059273763	You are very loyal to Mrs. Benton- your patient, was she not? ” “ No.
osu.32435059273763	You could motor up or take a train, eh? ” “ Yes, Westchester County?
osu.32435059273763	You could motor up or take a train, eh? ” “ Yes, Westchester County?
osu.32435059273763	You could send for him?"
osu.32435059273763	You do not believe me?
osu.32435059273763	You got in, but you could n't get out, eh?
osu.32435059273763	You have known Mrs. Benton some time?"
osu.32435059273763	You hurt me! ”"Have n't you about finished? ” Hamilton asked anxiously, touched by her appeal to the inexorable little man of science.
osu.32435059273763	You know Mr. Faynis, the lawyer?"
osu.32435059273763	You know all about him?"
osu.32435059273763	You know all about that sort of thing?"
osu.32435059273763	You recognize him?"
osu.32435059273763	You see?
osu.32435059273763	You see?
osu.32435059273763	You see?"
osu.32435059273763	You shall come to that house and look for yourself — the shadow, eh?
osu.32435059273763	You will come?
osu.32435059273763	You will listen?"
osu.32435059273763	You will present my compliments to your family?
osu.32435059273763	Your woman is missing?
osu.32435059273763	but that can wait, Mr. Faynis, but Mrs. Benton""Why did she take such a risk?
osu.32435059273763	he remarked eas- ily, “ or are you looking for some one? ”"On your way!"
osu.32435059273763	look at them?
osu.32435059273763	recognize it?
osu.32435059273763	said Mr. Guel- pa; he glanced carelessly round the room,"Ah, you are better off than Mistress Alva — I see you have a closet, eh?"
osu.32435059273763	she demanded abruptly,"suppose you did see her before?
osu.32435059273763	she inquired brightly, “ more tests? ” “ Oh, no, indeed, we are through with tests, my dear lady.
osu.32435059273763	that bird done himself in? ” exclaimed Grogan.
osu.32435059273763	“ A delicate lady you told me, Mr. Ringgold, rather fine?
osu.32435059273763	“ And if they are alike?"
osu.32435059273763	“ And it is tiresome for you to hear nothing but Cumber, is n't it?"
osu.32435059273763	“ And none the worse for it, I hope? ”"My hat- ah, well — the point is that I am here and no one knows it.
osu.32435059273763	“ And now your own new book, Mr. Guelpa?"
osu.32435059273763	“ And she has talked to you of her earlier life? ” “ Why should n't she?
osu.32435059273763	“ And she has talked to you of her earlier life? ” “ Why should n't she?
osu.32435059273763	“ And that, Mr. Guelpa? ” “ Truth- though the house falls."
osu.32435059273763	“ And was this Mrs. Benton dressed like the wo- man you saw in Los Angeles?
osu.32435059273763	“ And what does Ledsky think?"
osu.32435059273763	“ And where is my patient? ” “ Ah, of course, it is Doctor Hamilton!
osu.32435059273763	“ And you read a great deal? ”"Why, yes — but I was mostly in the sick- room."
osu.32435059273763	“ And you, Mr. Guelpa?"
osu.32435059273763	“ And your Cumber? ” Mrs. Ledsky asked sud- denly; her voice was low but there was an unex- pected note of bitterness in it.
osu.32435059273763	“ Are you glad to see me, George?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Are you going for a walk? ” she inquired.
osu.32435059273763	“ Are you sure it was your husband who hyp- notized you?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Benton and it was n't Cumber?"
osu.32435059273763	“ But he did not look like that. ”"Like what?"
osu.32435059273763	“ But how did he get there?
osu.32435059273763	“ But men and women will remain, eh?
osu.32435059273763	“ But suppose I can help you find it?"
osu.32435059273763	“ But why should such a person choose our house where her detection would be sure?"
osu.32435059273763	“ But will your word of honor sat- isfy any one else? ”"You do not believe me?"
osu.32435059273763	“ But will your word of honor sat- isfy any one else? ”"You do not believe me?"
osu.32435059273763	“ But would you have done so, if you had not had a good reason for suspicion?
osu.32435059273763	“ But you know of my appointment?
osu.32435059273763	“ But your work?
osu.32435059273763	“ But — where have we met before?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Can it be true Mr. Barling is dead?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Crazy?
osu.32435059273763	“ Cumber?
osu.32435059273763	“ Cumber? ” Mr. Guelpa inquired, “ the man we saw at the door?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Cumber? ” Mr. Guelpa inquired, “ the man we saw at the door?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Definitely?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Did I wake you? ” Mrs. Benton stared at her in a confused way.
osu.32435059273763	“ Did he once take a photograph of you with Richard Benton- out in the garden by the crooked tree?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Did they really kill him?
osu.32435059273763	“ Did this letter come through the mail? ”"No, sir.
osu.32435059273763	“ Did you know Benton's real name was Peter Barling — and that he was Mrs. Ledsky's brother?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Do you notice anything else in the photo- graph? ”"The tree, you mean?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Do you notice anything else in the photo- graph? ”"The tree, you mean?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Do you recognize the man?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Do you understand that, my dear? ”"I am afraid I did not quite catch the meaning, Jules. ” “ Mrs.
osu.32435059273763	“ Does all this matter?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Eh?
osu.32435059273763	“ For- tunately, my friend, Doctor Hamilton, chanced to call on me just as you were taken ill. You will per- mit me?
osu.32435059273763	“ Had any one heard a revolver shot in the night? ” No one.
osu.32435059273763	“ Has he given you a kiss?"
osu.32435059273763	“ How long did you know her, prior to her dis- appearance, eh?"
osu.32435059273763	“ How many mirrors are there in this room?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Hypnotic drugs?
osu.32435059273763	“ I am really puzzled. ” “ Puzzled about what?"
osu.32435059273763	“ I had a perfect explanation of my presence there, but I could n't tell those fools! ”"No?
osu.32435059273763	“ I've got to see him! ” “ Why?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Is any man quite sane,"he asked himself,"when he determines to kill himself? ” He took up the second leaf.
osu.32435059273763	“ It is the case you spoke of the day I met you? ” “ Yes. ” “ The woman who was such an unusual type?".
osu.32435059273763	“ It is the case you spoke of the day I met you? ” “ Yes. ” “ The woman who was such an unusual type?".
osu.32435059273763	“ It will be clear enough for the police, eh?
osu.32435059273763	“ Know that?
osu.32435059273763	“ May I detain you a moment longer?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Miss Glenn has given me a snap- shot photo- graph of Peter Barling- Benton, eh?
osu.32435059273763	“ Money?
osu.32435059273763	“ Mother hopes to learn to speak English, ” Julie interposed with the diffidence of the young French girl, “ do n't you, mother?"
osu.32435059273763	“ My Paul Dupuis? ” “ Yes, he came over on the ship with us."
osu.32435059273763	“ No, Professor, not necessarily, but what will not a self- sacrificing woman do for the brother she loves?
osu.32435059273763	“ Norno — and of course I may be mistaken,"and turning once more to Mrs. Benton, he repeated, “ Will you please sign this slip?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Not used to much light of late, eh?
osu.32435059273763	“ Now, why did he send for you?
osu.32435059273763	“ Nurse, why did n't you call me before this? ” he asked abruptly, and without waiting for a reply bent over his patient.
osu.32435059273763	“ Of course. ” “ You know me?"
osu.32435059273763	“ One moment?
osu.32435059273763	“ Ouf! ” he repeated, “ it is not delicate, eh?
osu.32435059273763	“ Signs of dementia? ” “ He was always sullen, kept to himself;"Alva admitted he was queer.
osu.32435059273763	“ That's your coat?"
osu.32435059273763	“ That?"
osu.32435059273763	“ The facts?
osu.32435059273763	“ The same woman?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Then it is a woman who has swindled them? ” Professor Ledsky was always politely attentive.
osu.32435059273763	“ Then it was not Richard Benton, your husband, who hypnotized you, but the man in the car?"
osu.32435059273763	“ There was a check? ”"No, sir, in bills of American money.
osu.32435059273763	“ Was he killed?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Was he?
osu.32435059273763	“ We are helping each other?
osu.32435059273763	“ Well, then, how did she get away?
osu.32435059273763	“ Well?
osu.32435059273763	“ What can we do?
osu.32435059273763	“ What does she mean?"
osu.32435059273763	“ What has been going on here? ” he asked sharply.
osu.32435059273763	“ What is it?"
osu.32435059273763	“ What kind of a funeral, Nurse?"
osu.32435059273763	“ What telegram?"
osu.32435059273763	“ What you look- in'a'me fo ’?"
osu.32435059273763	“ What's that?"
osu.32435059273763	“ What?
osu.32435059273763	“ When may we expect him?
osu.32435059273763	“ When will she return? ” Ringgold inquired.
osu.32435059273763	“ Where did Cumber take you? ”"A long journey."
osu.32435059273763	“ Who are you?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Who is he?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Who is it?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Who took you?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Who?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Why not try again?
osu.32435059273763	“ Why, he must have been here all this time, ” she went on,"and Cumber?
osu.32435059273763	“ Will you see to everything?
osu.32435059273763	“ Will you, pray, take your chair, Professor?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Yes, I know. ” “ But do you happen to know the men who have been put on to watch the house?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Yes, yes, and since there is nothing to keep us here, ” Mr. Guelpa suggested, “ shall we go on? ” “ There are a few rooms above.
osu.32435059273763	“ Yes, ” she whispered,"Could you answer a few questions?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You are sure you can sleep?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You did what I asked?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You know him?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You know that your company is having this house watched? ” he inquired of Mr. Ringgold.
osu.32435059273763	“ You know the house?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You mean it is the coat that left the traces re- corded on that cast?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You mean?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You remember Mr. Guelpa? ”"I would. ”"Well, he's out at Ledsky's.
osu.32435059273763	“ You say you have actually found this man? ” “ Now mark who he is.
osu.32435059273763	“ You telephoned to the police?"
osu.32435059273763	“ You think she knew Barling was in New York?
osu.32435059273763	“ You think so?"
osu.32435059273763	“ Your card? ” he inquired blandly.
osu.32435059273763	“ Your mother does not approve?
uva.x030805744	Did any of you telephone here after I left? ” He waited. uva.x030805744 Did you telephone me? ” Hutch demanded of him.
uva.x030805744	Do n't you want to ask him? ” Naida demanded. uva.x030805744 Doctor, what are Miss Goodrich's chances? ” Dr. Ramey was a shrewd psychologist, and Hawley had betrayed himself before he knew it.
uva.x030805744	Eileen? ” “ Hugo, I've asked a dear friend of mine to come hereshe laughed a bit nervously.
uva.x030805744	For how long, Eileen? ” “ How did they get you?
uva.x030805744	For how long, Eileen? ” “ How did they get you?
uva.x030805744	Frightened you a bit, did n't it, Eileen?
uva.x030805744	Hugo? ” There was relief in Neal's voice. uva.x030805744 I ca n't, dear. ” “ You mean you think him'dead'? ” Naida spoke with increasing rapidity.
uva.x030805744	I do n't quite understand. ” Even Eileen, distracted for the moment from herself, asked, “ Naida, what do you mean?
uva.x030805744	Is that you, Berk? ” he said. uva.x030805744 It does seem queer, does n't it? ” he said with a little awkward laugh.
uva.x030805744	It was on your post this thing happened, was n't 60 THE GIRL IN THE FOG it? uva.x030805744 Officer, when did the collision take place?"
uva.x030805744	Was it you telephoned me? ” Dargan turned like a flash. uva.x030805744 What do you mean? ” Dargan stormed.
uva.x030805744	What do you want to ask him, Miss Goodrich? ” he said. uva.x030805744 What game are you playing? ” Dargan snarled.
uva.x030805744	What is the number of New Scotland Yard? ” she asked. uva.x030805744 What's the matter, Dargan; nervous? ” he asked.
uva.x030805744	What's the matter, dear?
uva.x030805744	Why did you pretend you could n't dance? ” 28 THE GIRL IN THE FOG 99 He looked away, his eyes seeking escape. uva.x030805744 Why not? ” She leaned back and regarded him with wide eyes.
uva.x030805744	Will you forgive me? uva.x030805744 You will want to come with her, Miss Sangree?"
uva.x030805744	'Chicka- biddy,'he said to her then,'it's a little like being in Heaven, is n't it?'
uva.x030805744	... Daddy_will there ever be forgiveness- ever? ” Dr. Ramey gave more time to the girl than usual even in such cases.
uva.x030805744	... What can she find to be so happy about in this fogbound world?
uva.x030805744	128 THE GIRL IN THE FOG “ Then you admit the séance told us nothing?"
uva.x030805744	34 THE GIRL IN THE FOG"Do you like me?"
uva.x030805744	And for that I have been glad to give you all there was in my starved nature"“ And it was you I called'cheat?
uva.x030805744	And rest?
uva.x030805744	And what would be the use? ” “ Listen, Eileen,"Naida insisted.
uva.x030805744	Any changes you want to make before I go? ” The negro's eyes lowered before Dargan's.
uva.x030805744	Are those prints ready?
uva.x030805744	Are you enjoying yourself, Eileen? ” “ Oh, Naida, he's — he's driving me wild!"
uva.x030805744	Are you?"
uva.x030805744	At what time?
uva.x030805744	But I implore you, tell me what it all means?
uva.x030805744	But he did desert me, did n't he, when I wanted that satyr fountain to tell me how it could talk in your voice?
uva.x030805744	But it is not wise to overdo, is it?
uva.x030805744	But who would want to drive through the fog, miss, just to make collisions?
uva.x030805744	Comfy? ” “ Perfectly.
uva.x030805744	Could he be really asleep?
uva.x030805744	Dearie me, what is that sad red line on his throat?
uva.x030805744	Did you ever think that your hand could stop me from anything to which I have been driven by life?
uva.x030805744	Did you ’ un that's been near scared out of its wits by somethin'let out a yell w'en somethin'else scared her while she was still wild wiv fear?
uva.x030805744	Do n't you like your- situation?"
uva.x030805744	Do n't you see I must do something?
uva.x030805744	Do n't you want to meet him — now? ” She pleaded, hoped and feared, all in one.
uva.x030805744	Do n't you?
uva.x030805744	Do you like fires?
uva.x030805744	Do you think that Miss Good- rich should be left in Miss Sangree's hands?"
uva.x030805744	Eileen, do you remember my using the word poltergeist at Mrs. Lewis's? ” “ Yes."
uva.x030805744	Father has n't come yet- “ He has n't? ” The question came sharply.
uva.x030805744	Had the policeman seen such a man?
uva.x030805744	Hawley, you have heard of my father's attorneys, Llewellyn and Chilton? ” He nodded.
uva.x030805744	He had to do it all himself- “ All himself? ” Malvin broke in sharply.
uva.x030805744	He spoke into the telephone—"Jerry?
uva.x030805744	Here, page, guide this lady to her address. ” “ Can I make it? ” the page asked, uneasily.
uva.x030805744	Ho, he is masterful, is n't he? ” She rattled off a descrip- tion.
uva.x030805744	How could she have been there all the time waiting for us to come up?
uva.x030805744	I do n't admit it. ” “ What did it tell us?"
uva.x030805744	I do n't mind leading-—will you follow? ” “ If I can."
uva.x030805744	I say, operator, you've cut us off just as- Ah, is that you, Simms?
uva.x030805744	If a man in anger frowns, will not another man who assumes his expression feel something of the first man's emotion?
uva.x030805744	If it was n't she, it could n't have been dear Hugo, could it?
uva.x030805744	If so, why?
uva.x030805744	If this was really Naida how did she come there?
uva.x030805744	Indoors and out?"
uva.x030805744	It will be better than trying to negotiate the fog on foot-""Eileen, do n't you want to ask him? ” Naida's voice rose.
uva.x030805744	Llewellyn? ” Hawley spoke into the tele- phone.
uva.x030805744	Malvin — what is it?
uva.x030805744	May I ask, are you to attend Miss Goodrich? ” “ Yes, why? ” Hawley hesitated.
uva.x030805744	May I ask, are you to attend Miss Goodrich? ” “ Yes, why? ” Hawley hesitated.
uva.x030805744	May I count on you?"
uva.x030805744	My father- he""Hugo, why do you do this? ” Eileen pleaded.
uva.x030805744	NAIDA PLAYS 173 son she was subjecting herself to the torture it must be for her to play it?
uva.x030805744	Naida, will you ring? ” Naida did not move.
uva.x030805744	Nothing in all this to envy, is there?
uva.x030805744	Now we shall know. ” CHAPTER V THE TOUCH OF THE DEAD “ BEG pardon, madam? ” The policeman was puzzled.
uva.x030805744	Oh, what is it? ” An inarticulate sound broke from Malvin, born of nerves and some emotion the girl did not understand.
uva.x030805744	Or had something befallen Pete, something that would drag them with him?
uva.x030805744	Or — was she one of the household?
uva.x030805744	Otherwise how could she know what you'd said to me?
uva.x030805744	She must be kept from further shock or strain, must n't she? ” “ It is the first essential, ” said the doctor.
uva.x030805744	She wants me to ask you where Miss San- gree was yesterday morning between ten and half- past eleven?"

uva.x030805744	Through it we traced our man. ” “ Who is it?"
uva.x030805744	To tell it before that Scot- land Yard oaf? ” Naida smiled.
uva.x030805744	Was Pete preparing to betray them and himself escape?
uva.x030805744	Was he doing that to put Eileen off her guard, to tempt her to venture out into the corridor?
uva.x030805744	Was it someone's deliberate design to injure her?
uva.x030805744	Was she too a prisoner?
uva.x030805744	What can be keeping them?"
uva.x030805744	What have you against my father?"
uva.x030805744	What is it, Eileen?
uva.x030805744	What shall I do with a husband like that?
uva.x030805744	What was behind the threat he had uttered so indefinitely but with such a power of sincerity that even Hutch was impressed?
uva.x030805744	Where are you? ” The sibilant message was too important for Eileen to disregard.
uva.x030805744	Who is likely to interfere in Miss Goodrich's case?"
uva.x030805744	Whom will you follow in a question I consider of paramount importance — this man or me? ”"You are cruel, Naida,"Eileen moaned.
uva.x030805744	Why do n't he ever, ever speak to me-?
uva.x030805744	Why do you doubt her devotion to Miss Goodrich? ” Hawley stroked the back of his head perplexedly.
uva.x030805744	Why? ” 154 THE GIRL IN THE FOG She looked at him as though speechless.
uva.x030805744	Will you answer? ”"Anything!"
uva.x030805744	Will you come here, my dear, and sit in this chair opposite me?"
uva.x030805744	Will you excuse me? ” She rose, her eyes pleading.
uva.x030805744	Will you? ” Naida remained silent so long that Eileen sank back.
uva.x030805744	Would it not be best to obey?
uva.x030805744	Would she never reach home?
uva.x030805744	Yes?
uva.x030805744	You do n't suspect him, do you? ”"No,"Hawley replied.
uva.x030805744	You know, do n't you, how distracted I was? ” “ I hope you are much better, ” said Naida, without emotion.
uva.x030805744	You're boss, are n't you? ” Hutch let them wait long for the answer.
uva.x030805744	will he?"
uva.x030805744	“ Ah, Jerry, you've traced them? ” Hawley asked, brightening The man laid the papers on Hawley's desk.
uva.x030805744	“ Ah, Lilybelle, he is n't as mute as we thought, is he, dearie?
uva.x030805744	“ Ah, Pete, getting a bit nervous yourself?"
uva.x030805744	“ And Naida?"
uva.x030805744	“ And did you shake hands with him after the match? ” “ Certainly, ” with a puzzled smile.
uva.x030805744	“ And if I bring up this matter now, it's because it's bound to come to you any- way~ and I prefer to bring it myself. ” “ Who is it?"
uva.x030805744	“ Any slip? ” Hutch flashed with his fingers.
uva.x030805744	“ Are n't you glad- a little at least?"
uva.x030805744	“ Are you speaking now as a police officer? ” Hawley was distressed.
uva.x030805744	“ Bring him in, will you, Berk? ” Hawley said.
uva.x030805744	“ But what possible motive could Naida have, ” persisted Eileen,"in wanting to frighten me?"
uva.x030805744	“ Ca n't you see that we've been under surveillance-police surveillance ever since your father's death?
uva.x030805744	“ D'you mean it? ” snapped Pete.
uva.x030805744	“ Did he cry out strongly- enough to be heard far? ” Naida asked.
uva.x030805744	“ Do n't you think you'd better deny yourself another visitor to- day?"
uva.x030805744	“ Do you know that little bird that haunts our English countryside, the shrike?
uva.x030805744	“ Do you know what you did when you did that?"
uva.x030805744	“ Do you mean to say that you are the man who beat Chick Owen of Wisconsin University?"
uva.x030805744	“ Do you mind? ” Her eyes for the first time avoided his, unable to hide the pang she felt.
uva.x030805744	“ Do you see a quiver? ” They were as steady as stone.
uva.x030805744	“ Do you think I shall grudge you the rest of this tube?
uva.x030805744	“ Do you think I shall let you go? ” She spoke through clenched teeth.
uva.x030805744	“ Do you think anything you can tell me will make me feel differently toward you? ” “ It must come from me.
uva.x030805744	“ Do you think you could stand another- scene, a pleasant one?
uva.x030805744	“ Do you- do you think it was an accident? ” “ I do n't very well see how it could be anything else, miss, ” the policeman said.
uva.x030805744	“ Doctor- how is she?
uva.x030805744	“ Eileen, where are you? ” came the eager whisper.
uva.x030805744	“ From where to where? ” she urged sympathetically.
uva.x030805744	“ Have n't you come to any conclusion?"
uva.x030805744	“ Have you any news, Inspector? ” she asked.
uva.x030805744	“ Hello this is Dr. Goodrich's daughter- 36 THE GIRL IN THE FOG 99 “ Eileen?"
uva.x030805744	“ How are you, my dear?"
uva.x030805744	“ How badly is she hurt? ” she asked the first physician.
uva.x030805744	“ How did she get that?"
uva.x030805744	“ Hugo, why do you hide your face? ” she pleaded.
uva.x030805744	“ I was quite uneasy when they put you in the cell with the poor insane girl, “ What became of her? ” Eileen cried, starting up.
uva.x030805744	“ If Father should come in while I'm gone, you'll tell him, wo n't you?"
uva.x030805744	“ If at the moment of his murder he could speak to you through many walls of stone, why ca n't he speak to you still? ” Hawley broke in.
uva.x030805744	“ If it is a fracture at the base of the skull ” “ Can she be moved immediately? ” she asked.
uva.x030805744	“ Is he dead? ” Eileen screamed.
uva.x030805744	“ Is it my father? ” she begged.
uva.x030805744	“ Is n't it, sir? ” Jerry asked.
uva.x030805744	“ Is n't that a matter of which I should be judge? ” he asked.
uva.x030805744	“ Is the car ready?"
uva.x030805744	“ Is there a doctor about? ” some one shouted.
uva.x030805744	“ It's real this time, Naida, is n't it?
uva.x030805744	“ Leave Hugo- deserted — in prison?
uva.x030805744	“ May I ask why not?"
uva.x030805744	“ May I know?"
uva.x030805744	“ May I not first dispose of the difficulty of Miss San- gree? ” Hawley entreated.
uva.x030805744	“ May I see you a moment? ” “ Certainly."
uva.x030805744	“ May I take the message? ” Eileen asked.
uva.x030805744	“ Miss Goodrich, we do n't have to trouble you with all this?
uva.x030805744	“ Miss Sangree? ” he asked.
uva.x030805744	“ My dear Eileen, have you any faith in me as your physician? ” he asked finally.
uva.x030805744	“ Need you say it, Hugo? ” “ Ah, ” he smiled wanly.
uva.x030805744	“ No? ” The manner was careless, even sympathetic.
uva.x030805744	“ Oh you do n't? ” he asked, his voice affectedly polite.
uva.x030805744	“ Philharmonic Hall?
uva.x030805744	“ Really,"he said blankly, “ what could it have been? ” She threw out her hands in a half- hopeless, half- humor- ous gesture.
uva.x030805744	“ Shall we tell all about ourselves, like old friends who have n't met for years?"
uva.x030805744	“ So you mean to give me up? ” Naida had been thrown against a glass- encased cabinet.
uva.x030805744	“ So you've come into my parlor, eh? ” Hutch laughed soundlessly.
uva.x030805744	“ Strangle? ”"No.
uva.x030805744	“ Tell me and tell me truly- how good a game of tennis do you play?"
uva.x030805744	“ Then why do you think she will hinder my treatment of Miss Goodrich?"
uva.x030805744	“ Then you've thought out something?"
uva.x030805744	“ There would be no difficulty in establishing exactly the time of the conference?"
uva.x030805744	“ Well? ” Hutch's face asked the question like a cry.
uva.x030805744	“ What are you going to do? ” Miss Sangree put her hand on the door knob.
uva.x030805744	“ What are you saying? ” Naida demanded.
uva.x030805744	“ What are you waiting for? ” he shouted at the deaf- mute.
uva.x030805744	“ What can it be? ” Eileen whispered, electrified.
uva.x030805744	“ What do you mean to do? ” Eileen cried.
uva.x030805744	“ What do you mean? ” Dargan shouted, his face livid.
uva.x030805744	“ What do you? ” Then realization broke on him and in spite of himself there came a shout of wondering laughter.
uva.x030805744	“ What does your watch say: 7? ” he spoke into the mouth- piece.
uva.x030805744	“ What have you given me?"
uva.x030805744	“ What is it, man? ” Hawley asked, surprised.
uva.x030805744	“ What is it?"
uva.x030805744	“ What is it?"
uva.x030805744	“ What is this talk of arrest?
uva.x030805744	“ What was it?"
uva.x030805744	“ What! ”"Where's Pete? ” Hutch signed.
uva.x030805744	“ What's ailing you, Eileen? ” She pressed her forehead with her knuckles as though it would give her relief to hurt it.
uva.x030805744	“ When?
uva.x030805744	“ Where did you get this? ” she questioned.
uva.x030805744	“ Where did you go when you left Dargan? ” his fingers twitched.
uva.x030805744	“ Where is he- the messenger?"
uva.x030805744	“ Where is he?"
uva.x030805744	“ Where is he?"
uva.x030805744	“ Who is it?"
uva.x030805744	“ Who is it?"
uva.x030805744	“ Who is it?"
uva.x030805744	“ Who is the boss if he is n't?
uva.x030805744	“ Who killed my father, Naida? ” Trembling on the rim of the test tube, immediately over Naida's eyes was the green horror, lazily smoking.
uva.x030805744	“ Who killed my father?"
uva.x030805744	“ Whose is it? ” He read the card rapidly.
uva.x030805744	“ Why did you hesitate when I asked if there was a slip? ” he demanded with signs.
uva.x030805744	“ Why do you ask such an idiot question?"
uva.x030805744	“ Why not, dear? ” “ It compels me to protest that I did not cheat. ” A flush crept into Eileen's cheeks.
uva.x030805744	“ Why, is there the slightest doubt about it? ” Her voice rose.
uva.x030805744	“ Why, what is the matter?"
uva.x030805744	“ Will you insist on it, as you have hitherto? ” asked Naida.
uva.x030805744	“ Will you permit this gentleman to wait in the hall for us?"
uva.x030805744	“ Will you tell me about your chauffeur? ” Eileen thanked him with a look.
uva.x030805744	“ Will you tell the ladies what took place in your house since the coming of Streeter, Captain? ” Hawley requested.
uva.x030805744	“ Will your mind rest until this matter is explained?"
uva.x030805744	“ Wo n't you persuade her? ” he entreated.
uva.x030805744	“ Wo n't you say you did n't mean that?"
uva.x030805744	“ Word from whom?
uva.x030805744	“ You are n't asking me to go away and leave everything?"
uva.x030805744	“ You got your message? ” Then, seeing her dazed look—"Nothing serious, I hope? ”"I — no,"she faltered.
uva.x030805744	“ You got your message? ” Then, seeing her dazed look—"Nothing serious, I hope? ”"I — no,"she faltered.
uva.x030805744	“ You have n't anyone with you would play a practical joke? ” She shook her head.
uva.x030805744	“ You may remember me, Inspector Hawley of C. I. D.?
uva.x030805744	“ You mean?"
uva.x030805744	“ You need me?
uva.x030805744	“ You see, do n't you, that the fingerprints on the photo- graph and those on the card from our records correspond in every respect? ” he asked.
uva.x030805744	“ You understand she must be shielded from excite ment?
uva.x030805744	“ You'll come to see me often?"
wu.89005040225	And what help did you expect from Durrant? wu.89005040225 Can I get you a glass of water? ” “ No.
wu.89005040225	Can it be that my learned Uncle Lionel has had dealings with Durrant during his London visits? wu.89005040225 Can you bear a shock?"

wu.89005040225	Is it? wu.89005040225 Suppose I upset your plans, and tell him? ” said Will, disagreeably.
wu.89005040225	Well, did he catch the train?
wu.89005040225	What do you say to all this, Mr. Kynsam? ” asked Dove, significantly. wu.89005040225 What further evidence is necessary?
wu.89005040225	What is it, uncle? ” asked Will, bringing his horse under the wall. wu.89005040225 What is that to you?
wu.89005040225	Who can prove him to be so? ” “ Dr. wu.89005040225 Why did you not confess them before?"

wu.89005040225	As they approached the door, Eleanor made the remark, which had attracted the attention of the detective, “ Did you tell Mr. Drage? ” she asked.
wu.89005040225	But I ca n't stand quietly by and see your son and mine go to the gallows. ”"Perhaps you would rather I went there?"
wu.89005040225	But did she admit it?"

wu.89005040225	Have you any reason for such a belief? ” “ You may be sure I do not speak without reason,"responded Dove, loftily.

wu.89005040225	He scarcely spoke to me. ”"Did you know him in London? ” “ Never met him before to the best of my knowledge, ” replied Durrant, with a stare.
wu.89005040225	He was lodging at ‘ The Three Bells,'in the village. ”"How was it he remained here on the night of the murder?"
wu.89005040225	He's not the man to borrow money. ” “ Then why did you ask me if I knew him? ” Simply out of curiosity.
wu.89005040225	How did you guess? ” “ From the way he talked this morning.
wu.89005040225	How was she dressed?"
wu.89005040225	I do so now. ” “ How do you account for your possession of the dagger?"
wu.89005040225	I have seen a ghost. ” “ Whose ghost?"

wu.89005040225	If Durrant was innocent, why should he leave in so stealthy a fashion?
wu.89005040225	If he acted according to your theory, where does his gain come in?

wu.89005040225	Is Eleanor there? ” “ Yes, uncle."
wu.89005040225	Is it not so? ” A faint moan was Mrs. Westcote's only response.

wu.89005040225	Is that so?
wu.89005040225	Is this not true? ” “ I decline to answer you. ” “ I command you to answer. ” “ I refuse."
wu.89005040225	It comes from the chapel, Father Ching is at the organ, no doubt. ” “ Well, what about my offer?"
wu.89005040225	It is a pretty dagger, is it not? ” said Eleanor, in a conventional tone."
wu.89005040225	It's for an American gentle- man. ” “ What is the story about? ” said Drage, yawning.
wu.89005040225	Meanwhile, I intend to pay a visit to'The Three Bells'at — at — what do you call your village? ” “ Botsleigh.
wu.89005040225	Or is he a resident in the district?"
wu.89005040225	Or is he really innocent, and this Jesuit knows the guilty person, but is forbidden to reveal the name by the laws of the Church?
wu.89005040225	She is the housekeeper, is she not? ” « Yes.
wu.89005040225	So you do n't know him? ” “ No; he's an absolute stranger to me. ” Humph!
wu.89005040225	Surely if I pay you the interest in advance, you will renew that bill?"
wu.89005040225	That ring I want, and that ring I mean to have. ” “ How do you hope to obtain it? ” “ Never you mind, Mr. Kynsam. ” “ Oh!
wu.89005040225	That's the young Squire. ” “ Oh, he is the Squire, is he?"
wu.89005040225	Then you can force him to explain. ”"Have you his address?"
wu.89005040225	There the landlord drove me over to Barnstaple, and I caught the early morning train. ” “ And you knew nothing of the murder?
wu.89005040225	Was he secretly a profligate or a gambler?
wu.89005040225	Well, was she Mrs. Geoffrey Roche?"
wu.89005040225	Were they on the verge of a new discovery?
wu.89005040225	What about Durrant? ”"He has escaped, ” replied Dove, sulkily, feeling that Drage was more than his match.
wu.89005040225	What can she do, save steal'the Sacred Ring'? ” “ I do n't mean to say she is a criminal, or would steal,"replied Miss Lametry, impatiently.
wu.89005040225	What did they do to you?"
wu.89005040225	What do What do you make of that, Mrs. Westcote? ” His last words were unheard, for the housekeeper had fainted.
wu.89005040225	What do you mean to do?
wu.89005040225	What do you think I saw, Mrs. Westcote?"
wu.89005040225	What have you to say to me?"
wu.89005040225	What is that?"
wu.89005040225	What motive could Father Ching possibly have to murder Sir Piers? ” “ Ah!
wu.89005040225	What of it? ”"Simply this.
wu.89005040225	What the deuce could he have squandered them on?
wu.89005040225	What was she doing there at midnight?"
wu.89005040225	What's the matter with you, Drage? ” he said, in an astonished tone.
wu.89005040225	When I have evidence to go on, I may do so. ” Well, what questions do you wish to ask? ” “ Did Durrant stay at the Court? ” “ No.
wu.89005040225	When I have evidence to go on, I may do so. ” Well, what questions do you wish to ask? ” “ Did Durrant stay at the Court? ” “ No.

wu.89005040225	Why did you bring him here? ”"Because I choose to do so,"retorted Lionel, with an ugly look.
wu.89005040225	Why do n't you speak to my father and see what can be done?"
wu.89005040225	Why do you say she is sly?"
wu.89005040225	Why do you want it? ” “ To sell it, if you must know, said the money- lender, tartly.
wu.89005040225	Why is he not here to give evi- dence?"
wu.89005040225	Why, man, think you Sir Piers would part with an heirloom which has been in the Lametry family for over three hundred years?"
wu.89005040225	Why, man, you do n't mean to say that Mrs. Westcote killed my uncle?"
wu.89005040225	Will, pray ask Father Ching to have the goodness to bring hither the casket. ” “ Why is it called'the Sacred Ring'?"
wu.89005040225	Will, ” continued Lionel with a start,"that man who came last night, who wanted to buy the ring, where is he?"
wu.89005040225	Would you denounce me?"
wu.89005040225	Yes; I swear that was the first I heard of it. ” “ Why did you not tell me of this before? ” asked Drage, eyeing the young man keenly.
wu.89005040225	Yesterday. ” « It is for the benefit of an American gentleman? ” “ Yes, sir.
wu.89005040225	You are quite innocent of the crime. ” “ What do you mean, man? ” she said, clutching at a chair for support.
wu.89005040225	You do n't think he is the murderer? ” “ Look if he is in his room, Will.
wu.89005040225	You know the story? ” It was told to me by a friend.
wu.89005040225	did it come there?"
wu.89005040225	interposed Father Ching, “ and how is the ring lost? ” “ He came down to buy the ring, ” said Lionel, looking steadily at Will,"you know that.
wu.89005040225	it was a pity I never saw the face of Geoffrey Roche. ” “ What do you mean?"
wu.89005040225	kind of story master wants sent to American gentleman. ” “ A kind of story? ” asked Drage, rather puzzled by this remark.
wu.89005040225	pay the money for it? ” “ Yes, but I did not pay it on the instant.
wu.89005040225	there is Mr. Lionel. ” “ Who is he? ” “ Sir Piers's brother and heir.
wu.89005040225	think I will faint?
wu.89005040225	« What more do you expect me to say?"
wu.89005040225	· He came to see Mr. Kynsam. ”"On business, no doubt?"
wu.89005040225	“ A letter to post?"
wu.89005040225	“ About a ring? ” Drage was on the alert.
wu.89005040225	“ About the murder? ” “ Yes.
wu.89005040225	“ And is it to be wondered at?
wu.89005040225	“ And the son of of — — Sir Piers? ” Drage nodded again.
wu.89005040225	“ And what do you say? ” “ I deny it, ” replied Father Ching, with great dignity, “ I denied the accusation last night.
wu.89005040225	“ And with Father Ching?
wu.89005040225	“ But her reason for committing such a crime?"
wu.89005040225	“ But what has that old story to do with my uncle's death?"
wu.89005040225	“ Can it be that he has confessed to the priest that he is guilty?
wu.89005040225	“ Can you ask me such a question?
wu.89005040225	“ Come now, Mr. Kynsam, give me the address of this man. ”"If I do so you will go up to town to- morrow?
wu.89005040225	“ Did Durrant come to see Sir Piers?"
wu.89005040225	“ Did Sir Piers show her any favour? ” “ No.
wu.89005040225	“ Did you not come down to the library? ” “ No!
wu.89005040225	“ Did you not go down to the library after you let Mr. Durrant out by the private door? ” “ No,"replied Will, with some surprise.
wu.89005040225	“ Did you see Father Ching last night, Drage? ” “ Yes.
wu.89005040225	“ Do you dare to talk like that of your son? ” she said, hoarsely.
wu.89005040225	“ Do you intend to arrest me? ” “ No; but I must ask you and Mr. Durrant to return to Landy Court.
wu.89005040225	“ Do you think I should do such a thing?
wu.89005040225	“ Do you think a man would be such a fool as to commit a crime so openly?
wu.89005040225	“ Docs he suspect anyone of having taken it?"
wu.89005040225	“ From you? ” “ From his mother,"repeated Mrs. Westcote, calmly.
wu.89005040225	“ Has your master the Ring in his possession?'
wu.89005040225	“ Have I not need of his intercession- have you not need of his pleading?
wu.89005040225	“ Have you found out who killed iny poor uncle?"
wu.89005040225	“ Have you seen Mrs. Westcote? ” he anxiously asked.
wu.89005040225	“ He has been stabbed to the heart, ” said Father Ching, kneeling down beside his patron; “ but with what weapon?"
wu.89005040225	“ How did it happen?"
wu.89005040225	“ How did you learn the age of this stiletto?"
wu.89005040225	“ How does Mrs. Westcote conduct herself here? ” asked Drage, again.
wu.89005040225	“ How much plainer do you wish me to put it, Mr. Kynsam? ” said he, coolly.
wu.89005040225	“ I never heard of it till you came here to- day. ” “ And you, Mr. Kynsam?
wu.89005040225	“ I presume you are likewise ignorant, Mr. Kynsam? ” “ Yes; I know nothing.
wu.89005040225	“ I suppose you know nothing of this sad business? ” “ No.
wu.89005040225	“ If that is so why did he refuse to answer my questions and bolt to London?"
wu.89005040225	“ Is Mr. Durrant in? ” asked Drage, as the small boy came forward.
wu.89005040225	“ Is he better? ” asked Sir Piers, knowing Father Ching referred to one of the under servants.
wu.89005040225	“ Is he dead? ”"No, but dying.
wu.89005040225	“ Is that Mr. Kynsam? ” he asked a stone- breaker, who was busy mending the road.
wu.89005040225	“ Is this the dagger? ” “ Yes, ” said Drage, taking it gravely.
wu.89005040225	“ Suspect him! ” said the Baronet, furiously;"what do you mean, sir?
wu.89005040225	“ That is, you introduced him to Sir Piers so that he might buy the Sacred Ring?
wu.89005040225	“ Then he wo n't confess? ” “ The confession is here,"said Will, showing the sheets of paper.
wu.89005040225	“ Then how did he find out?
wu.89005040225	“ Then who is guilty?"
wu.89005040225	“ Under the seal of the confessional?"
wu.89005040225	“ Very likely But what was one of the servants doing near the library at that hour?"
wu.89005040225	“ Was he agitated?"
wu.89005040225	“ Was she the woman who was supposed to have killed Lord Beldon?"
wu.89005040225	“ Well, is n't it necessary now? ” persisted Miss Lame- try, marking his discomposure.
wu.89005040225	“ What could put such an idea into your head? ” “ The way in which you are behaving. ” A SACRED RELIC.
wu.89005040225	“ What did she say?"
wu.89005040225	“ What do you mean, Drage?"
wu.89005040225	“ What do you mean, Durrant?
wu.89005040225	“ What do you mean, sir? ” demanded Lionel, turning pale.
wu.89005040225	“ What do you mean? ” asked Sir Lionel, turning pale, and looking at her with a terrified expression on his face.
wu.89005040225	“ What do you want here, Durrant?"
wu.89005040225	“ What have you been doing since I saved your life? ” Living abroad on the Continent, chiefly in Paris.
wu.89005040225	“ What is the matter now, Drage? ” he said, anxiously.
wu.89005040225	“ What is the matter? ” asked Will, hurrying forward.
wu.89005040225	“ What is the matter? ” he asked, in a startled tone.
wu.89005040225	“ What the deuce do you mean, sir? ” he cried, furiously.
wu.89005040225	“ What's the matter, sir?"
wu.89005040225	“ When did your master set you to write out this story?
wu.89005040225	“ Who are you?
wu.89005040225	“ Who is he, Will? ” she asked in an undertone.
wu.89005040225	“ Who told you about it?"
wu.89005040225	“ Why did n't you speak to it?"
wu.89005040225	“ Why do you want the ring?"
wu.89005040225	“ Why not?"
wu.89005040225	“ Will you be willing to do so if I tell you what I know? ” Kynsam hesitated for a moment, and made a wry face.
wu.89005040225	“ Will you kindly ask Father Ching to come here, Sir Lionel? ” The Baronet started, and looked suspiciously at the detective.
wu.89005040225	“ Will you see Mr. Kynsam in town? ” he asked, abruptly.
wu.89005040225	“ Will, ” she said, in a deliberate manner, “ did that man kill my father?"
wu.89005040225	“ Yes, dear uncle; do you feel better? ” “ I feel that I am dying.
wu.89005040225	“ Yet you loved me best? ” 200 THE MYSTERY OF LANDY COURT.
wu.89005040225	“ You are convinced, I hope, of Mr. Kynsam's innocence? ” said the priest, with great dignity.
wu.89005040225	“ You are sure he was n't agitated or nervous? ”"Certainly not, sir!
wu.89005040225	“ You have come back of your own free will? ” he asked anxiously.
wu.89005040225	“ You killed Sir Piers? ” said Will, in a tone of horror.
wu.89005040225	“ You say it was I? ” “ I said so to hear what you would say.
wu.89005040225	“ You seem to be busy writing?"
wu.89005040225	“ You surely do n't suspect them? ” said Will, disdain- fully.
wu.89005040225	“\Vho is he?"
wu.89005052014	A victim to what?
wu.89005052014	But wo n't you come in? wu.89005052014 Ca n't you smell it for your- self?
wu.89005052014	Have n't you been here before, Mr. Gil- lon? ” Mrs. Ricardo seemed surprised, but quite competent to play the guide. wu.89005052014 Shall it be single wicket between us two, or the next test- match with Australia?'
wu.89005052014	So I did; but how do you know it's a copper?
wu.89005052014	This very minute — but who is she?
wu.89005052014	Well- then- it's because I do n't want Daddy to see it, for fear-_ it would grieve him? ” I suggested as the end of his broken sentence.
wu.89005052014	Which of them is such a secret?
wu.89005052014	Who was that?
wu.89005052014	'Do you want to blow up the house?"
wu.89005052014	'Lucky I wired to you to meet me at Richmond, was n't it, Edie?

wu.89005052014	85 WITCHING HILL “ Did you? ” said Delavoye, with an un- timely touch of superiority.
wu.89005052014	?
wu.89005052014	A worse case- “ Where is he?"
wu.89005052014	All the way over where, Mr. Delavoye?"
wu.89005052014	And did n't it strike you as an extra- ordinary thing to do? ”.
wu.89005052014	And had he actually committed a murder?"
wu.89005052014	And so I do still — do you hear me?
wu.89005052014	And what the devil does he want with me?"
wu.89005052014	And where had I seen her before?
wu.89005052014	And you keep her photograph under the floor?"
wu.89005052014	And you keep this to yourself from Monday night till now?
wu.89005052014	Are you sure he did n't?"
wu.89005052014	Because the handkerchief was marked?
wu.89005052014	Besides, what does it matter?
wu.89005052014	But are you going to throw the thing away?"
wu.89005052014	But that is only to be expected of the anony- mous lampooner. ” L 161 WITCHING HILL Was there really no name to it, Mr. Brabazon?"
wu.89005052014	But this maggot of morbid introspection has got into his brain and-how did it get there, Gilly?
wu.89005052014	But what can you expect when a pore gentleman goes out of'is'ead?
wu.89005052014	But when a man has been science beak in a public school-and such a school- it sounds good enough for Witching Hill, does n't it?
wu.89005052014	But when?"
wu.89005052014	But would I care to come along and inspect the damage then and there?
wu.89005052014	But you said he was an old saint?
wu.89005052014	By the way,"I cut in,"do n't you think it would all make magnificent material for a novel, Uvo?"
wu.89005052014	Ca n't you see the point?
wu.89005052014	Can you dream of marriage in such a state?
wu.89005052014	Could she be happy?
wu.89005052014	Did n't I hear that his wife died a while ago? ” Only last year.

wu.89005052014	Of course I know the present family by name; are n't these Dela- voyes connected with them in some way?"
wu.89005052014	Of course you know about the heinous Lord Mulcaster who owned this place in the high old days?
wu.89005052014	Or was it the defective tap that suggested the means of death?
wu.89005052014	Really, Mr. Gillon?
wu.89005052014	Shall we risk a peep?
wu.89005052014	She had seen no portrait; it was years since she had been through the galleries at Hampton Court, voye?
wu.89005052014	She'd tell you, ” said Uvo, “ if I know her. ” “ Do people tell each other?"
wu.89005052014	So where do you think we keep it?"
wu.89005052014	So you took the trouble to go all the way over there to study his portrait, Miss Brabazon?
wu.89005052014	Sole agent, eh, Gilly?

wu.89005052014	They little know the apple of their own blind eyes-eh, Gilly?."
wu.89005052014	They might refuse delivery, or this old boy might claim his mining rights, and where should we come in then?
wu.89005052014	Underground, you mean?"
wu.89005052014	Very last absolutely final application, was it?
wu.89005052014	Was it before he called you in to see the tap that did n't turn off?
wu.89005052014	Was that a fluke?"
wu.89005052014	Was this the fellow who had toyed so tremu- lously with a deadly weapon and a deadlier idea?

wu.89005052014	What are you playing at, my good fel- low?"
wu.89005052014	What are you?"
wu.89005052014	What brain is there to feed it?
wu.89005052014	What could he know of the case, that was unknown to meunless he had some outside source of information all the time?
wu.89005052014	What could there be to spy upon, at half- past nine at night, with Captain Ricardo safe and grumbling at his own fireside?
wu.89005052014	What did I tell you?
wu.89005052014	What had she done amiss before she died?

wu.89005052014	What is it, then?
wu.89005052014	What is it?"
wu.89005052014	What on earth can have brought him to Witching Hill, of all places?"

wu.89005052014	What then?
wu.89005052014	What was it?"

wu.89005052014	Why not then?
wu.89005052014	Why not?
wu.89005052014	Why save it all up for Witching Hill?
wu.89005052014	Why this pressure on a pointless point?
wu.89005052014	Why yourself, Mr. Delavoye?"
wu.89005052014	Why, nurse, what do you mean by try- ing to give me the slip? ” he said in his hearty voice.
wu.89005052014	Why, what's the matter?
wu.89005052014	Why?
wu.89005052014	Will she be forgiven?"

wu.89005052014	Would you like to see where it ran? ” “ I should n't mind, ” I said with the same poor quality of indifference.
wu.89005052014	You did n't know he was as bad as that?
wu.89005052014	You did n't think I'd gone and loaded it, did you?
wu.89005052014	You see, he really was their ancestor, and I do make him a most odious creature. ” “ But I do n't suppose you give his real name?"
wu.89005052014	You wo n't say a single word about it, if I tell you something?

wu.89005052014	“ But how long have you felt like doing either?
wu.89005052014	“ But if the same sort of thing happens again, will it still be a coincidence or a fluke?"
wu.89005052014	“ But is n't it obvious?

wu.89005052014	“ How long have you been engaged?

wu.89005052014	“ Not what had happened?"
wu.89005052014	“ Of course, if you come to think of it, that's the whole and only explanation- is n't it, Gillon?

osu.32435018214338	But, might not my friend the Captain have been too hasty in his conclusion that Meyrick was not aware of the shadow at his heels?
osu.32435018214338	But, seriously, do you think it's worth while to theorize much without more data?
osu.32435018214338	By the way, is curiosity a sentiment? ” “ No.
osu.32435018214338	By the way, was he your man, the artisan? ” “ No! ” shortly.

osu.32435018214338	Do you want me to go away?"
osu.32435018214338	Do you want to relate your adventures? ” Craig omitted one of his silent chuckles.
osu.32435018214338	Do you wish them carried out? ” “ Man l ’ he exclaimed, “ the diamonds are nothing compared to my — ” he stopped at a gesture from me.
osu.32435018214338	Do – do you you think he could have lighted it?
osu.32435018214338	Does she know what you have found? ” “ NO.
osu.32435018214338	Doverfields, ” I put out my hand, “ will you take my ad- Vice? ” He nodded.
osu.32435018214338	Doverfields? ” “ Doyerfields is the very man I do not want to catechise about his wife,—just now!
osu.32435018214338	Else why should I slip through nearly all my life so smoothly, so pleasantly, to find my Nemesis, my curse, at my very door stone, in the end?
osu.32435018214338	Feel all right now, do n't ye, honey? ” letting her hand rest with warning pressure on Daphne's shoulder.
osu.32435018214338	For Madam, as I now know her, I have but one thought. ” “ And that? ” “ The wish, the hope, that I may never see her again!
osu.32435018214338	For in- stance, is Mrs. Doverfields subject to sudden nervous attacks?
osu.32435018214338	For, after all, might not this poor soul be merely a hanger- on, a can- didate for Madam's charity?
osu.32435018214338	For, after all, what did I know — as between Madam and Mrs. Doverfields?
osu.32435018214338	Gentlemen, tell me, how must I proceed to make a search in this thronged place?
osu.32435018214338	Giving, if necessary, your commands, as her physician? ” It was the doctor's turn to nod.
osu.32435018214338	Go on, please — the note? ” “ Mrs.
osu.32435018214338	Good Heavens, man, what ails you?
osu.32435018214338	Had I, at present, any real ground for believ- ing, or even hoping that I could solve the mystery of their dis- appearance?
osu.32435018214338	Had the woman ever known of the nearness of this man?
osu.32435018214338	Has n’t the valet been away? ” “ Oh, yes, sir.

osu.32435018214338	Has — ah — anything been observed, then? ” Enid laughed.
osu.32435018214338	Have seen even more than I?
osu.32435018214338	Have you been letting him see our patient, Austin?
osu.32435018214338	Have you changed your mind? ”- The man let himself sink into the nearest chair, with a gesture of weariness.
osu.32435018214338	Have you forgotten that I told you the unlucky man had a bad sprain?
osu.32435018214338	Have you forgotten the invalid brother? ” “ True!
osu.32435018214338	Have you made a search there for traces, clues? ” “ Yes.
osu.32435018214338	Have you — meantime, any advice or — suggestions, for me?
osu.32435018214338	He had had ample opportunity to know him; and why should he not suspect the Captain of doing precisely what he had done?
osu.32435018214338	He had made a fool of me, for that! ” WHERE IS JOSEPHINE BRYCE?
osu.32435018214338	He had sent for me, he said, to discuss with me the matter of the loss of his wife's jewels, and — first, would I kindly be quite frank with him?
osu.32435018214338	He went into the gutter, and I was glad of it! ” “ So am I?
osu.32435018214338	He's equal to it, do n't you think? ” “ He's equal to anything in the line of villainy!
osu.32435018214338	His mother was the best friend Agnes had during that wretched time, why should n't he know?
osu.32435018214338	How could I have another among that straight- laced crew?
osu.32435018214338	How could we?
osu.32435018214338	How did it end? ” “ I do n't think it has ended, except for him, Mrs. Garston, ” replied Craig soberly.
osu.32435018214338	How do you account for this?
osu.32435018214338	How does it impress you? ” “ I dare say you are right, ” he said.
osu.32435018214338	How else did the burglar enter the house? ”- “ Collusion? ” I suggested, but he shook his head.
osu.32435018214338	How else did the burglar enter the house? ”- “ Collusion? ” I suggested, but he shook his head.
osu.32435018214338	How was I to explain the fact that I had followed him, pistol in — pocket?
osu.32435018214338	How was it, Mr.—Jasper? ” lifting her fine eyes suddenly to my face.
osu.32435018214338	However, having given our sop to the dear public, I can go to work, with your help. ” “ HOW mine? ” “ What a question.
osu.32435018214338	I espied him, from my nook in the little reception room,-you know what a point of vantage that is? ” I nodded, and she hurried on.
osu.32435018214338	I had advised him to send for you and so I offered to come after you. ” “ Tonight? ” “ No, no! ” Impatiently.
osu.32435018214338	I know what I ’m saying. ” “ You know? ” “ You see, sir,'twas like this.
osu.32435018214338	I must correct one or two of your mistakes — or were they mis- statements?
osu.32435018214338	I need not tell you that it could not be opened without a little noise? ” Johnny's grin widened.
osu.32435018214338	I never saw it before? ” The woman was busily tucking up some stray locks of her young Missy's pale brown hair, and she did not answer for a monent.
osu.32435018214338	I observe — ahem — I believe that you and Doctor Bird are very good friends? ” I nodded.
osu.32435018214338	I regret to say, Madam — or shall I give you the name you used to wear so gayly in Paris, not so long ago?
osu.32435018214338	I repent of nothing that I have done! ” “ But — have you thought of your husband, and the future! ” “ Have I? ” How her eyes glowed.
osu.32435018214338	I shall not forget? ” “ Will it be quizzing to ask about Mrs. Doverfields'illness? ” “ It is a nervous breakdown, I fancy.

osu.32435018214338	I suppose your Miss Hough is competent — as a nurse? ” “ Entirely so.
osu.32435018214338	I take it you're queen in this court, eh? ” and he begun gazin ’ round.
osu.32435018214338	I thought there were teeth stores in Paris, did n't you? ”( 167) I68 THE I)OVERIFIELDS'DIAMONDS “ Say tooth stores, my son.
osu.32435018214338	I thought we might want him after — ” “ After I suggested it, eh? ” Craig chuckled.
osu.32435018214338	I took care to make my inquiries thorough, and in person. ” “ And Meyrick? ” “ Was as elusive as the others were in evidence.
osu.32435018214338	I waived the question, “ Do you believe Meyrick to be in this country? ” I asked.
osu.32435018214338	I was sort of wishing( 90) CRAIG BECOMES A BUTTERFLY OI some dude with a high society air would dawn upon my vision; lunched yet? ”- “ Yet?

osu.32435018214338	I — I do n't know your name? ” and she looked an inquiry, in full faith that she had just uttered a compliment.
osu.32435018214338	I — I fancy I have seen the one drawn by the brown cobs in the park, once or twice; it is —? ” She glanced at me and paused.
osu.32435018214338	I — forget her name? ” questioningly.
osu.32435018214338	I ’ll suggest that to Kenyon. ” “ And why to Kenyon? ”( 199) 200 THE DOVERFIELDS DIAMONDS"Oh, merely because it's explanatory, maybe.
osu.32435018214338	I ’ve cornered your sandwich man. ” “ Sure? ” “ Look here!

osu.32435018214338	IS that it? ” I nodded.
osu.32435018214338	If I comprehend your words you are an acquaintance of Mrs. Doverfields, whom she met abroad? ” “ A — friend!
osu.32435018214338	If Madam, the astute, the worldly wise, was not altogether in Monsieur's confidence?
osu.32435018214338	If he had secured the real diamonds would not his knowledge of their place of concealment have been a weapon in his hands?
osu.32435018214338	If so — why?
osu.32435018214338	If the maid really found it, as she said — ” “ How, as she said? ” “ In the place where, she declared, it was found.
osu.32435018214338	If there is a change? ” “ There is a change.
osu.32435018214338	If you want to run in your Miss Ruff — is it? ” “ Miss Hough, do you mean? ” “ Miss Huff, then.
osu.32435018214338	If you want to run in your Miss Ruff — is it? ” “ Miss Hough, do you mean? ” “ Miss Huff, then.
osu.32435018214338	In search, do I say?
osu.32435018214338	In short I want information'"“ In the name of common sense! ” he broke in, “ why did n't you ask all this of him?
osu.32435018214338	Indeed why did he come at all and bearing with him, as he must, that letter, previously prepared on the chance of my absence?
osu.32435018214338	Invalid? ” “ Yep! ” Kenyon sniffed.
osu.32435018214338	Is Monsieur and his man still quiet? ”- “ I should think so!
osu.32435018214338	Is it not so? ” The woman hesitated for a moment, and I felt a hand upon my arm.
osu.32435018214338	Is it yours, Nancy?
osu.32435018214338	Is she not in — the plot — or whatever it is that the others are maneuvering so strangely? ” “ My dear child, I do not know.
osu.32435018214338	Is that your suggestion, or his? ” “ Mine first, and his by adoption.
osu.32435018214338	Is this the street?
osu.32435018214338	Is, or is not, the case of the Doverfields'diamonds a closed chapter, between you and me? ”- “ No!
osu.32435018214338	It may become dangerous; and — we need your help. ” “ You need me?
osu.32435018214338	It was Enid Dexereaux's voice that answered my hello, say- ing, “ Is this Mr. Jasper — Kenneth Jasper?
osu.32435018214338	It was meant for you. ” “ W — What! ” “ And — it was not the officer, who singed your assailant. ” “ Not?
osu.32435018214338	Jasper you'll stand by us still?
osu.32435018214338	Jasper, has Uncle showed you Nancy's letter? ” “ Really — ” “ Oh, I know all about it!
osu.32435018214338	Jasper, how could you — a man of your acknowledged acu- men — be deceived by this truly keen criminal?
osu.32435018214338	Jasper? ” It was Enid's voice close behind us.
osu.32435018214338	Josephine has reported — ” “ This morning? ” I ejaculated.
osu.32435018214338	Just that. ” “ And – you agree with the doctor; my wife will be better — in the dark? ”- “ Assuredly!
osu.32435018214338	Just that? ” “ I do — fully!
osu.32435018214338	Let ’s see — where Was I? ” “ Dropping cards and business letters, quite by accident, ” I replied.
osu.32435018214338	Little loose money, of course; crack a bot- tle now and then — smoke a bit — eh? ” “ Good! ” commented Craig.
osu.32435018214338	Madam's brother was not our quarry, was he?
osu.32435018214338	May I see you?'
osu.32435018214338	May he possibly have mistaken his man? ” “ Well, you know their methods, those Scotland Yard special- ists, they're trained to it!
osu.32435018214338	Meantime what do you make of this?
osu.32435018214338	Meyrick conundrums at that?
osu.32435018214338	Might he not be tracking me, after all?
osu.32435018214338	Might not Madam be equally adept at concealment?
osu.32435018214338	Might not the real gems have been hypothe- cated for — a little flutter in the street,-perhaps?
osu.32435018214338	Monsieur, from the first, has remained secluded and is seldom seen by the household? ” Nancy bobbed her head.
osu.32435018214338	Mr. Doverfields, do you wish to follow up this affair, whatever comes of it? ” “ Yes! ” The answer came promptly.
osu.32435018214338	Must I again reconstruct my already thrice changed theory of yourself — your position, and — your accountability in the matter of the diamonds?
osu.32435018214338	My name?
osu.32435018214338	No new trouble, I hope? ” “ His wife has lost her diamonds. ” “ What!
osu.32435018214338	No — Br — Brace, I guess, ai n't it? ” “ No it ai n’t!
osu.32435018214338	Now have you not heard the story of Madam ’s brother? ” “ NO.
osu.32435018214338	Oh, are you occu- pied seriously?
osu.32435018214338	On the other hand, would I not risk defeat by going to her with what I knew?
osu.32435018214338	Only in the lower right hand corner, a circle was drawn, large and heavy. ” “ And — how was it answered? ” “ By Mrs. Doverfields!
osu.32435018214338	Only it strikes me if he is in cahoots with Mr. Ralph Meyrick, stands to reason he's off the same bundle o'rags, ai n't he?
osu.32435018214338	Our sandwich man, if your doctor is right in his diagnosis, will be confined to his room, for — how much longer? ” “ Ten days at least, he says.
osu.32435018214338	PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE 83 Again, was he, for a reason, coming back to resume his old life?
osu.32435018214338	Paris post- mark eh? ” With a quick movement I had the missive out of its wrapper.
osu.32435018214338	Queer game, was n’t it? ” “ And — how did it end? ” I was struggling to keep the interest out of my face.
osu.32435018214338	Queer game, was n’t it? ” “ And — how did it end? ” I was struggling to keep the interest out of my face.
osu.32435018214338	Rainy days for garret plays, eh?'
osu.32435018214338	See that closed carriage just behind the Victoria with the greys and the fat old lady?
osu.32435018214338	Shall I call the carriage?
osu.32435018214338	Shall I come right up? ” But I shook my head.
osu.32435018214338	Shall I give you the details, Mrs. Doverfields? ” She shook her head and slowly arose.
osu.32435018214338	So I told her about — about uncle's adventure. ” “ And yours? ” I suggested.
osu.32435018214338	Still, I sent for you, this morning, to ask if you would be willing to call off this hunt?
osu.32435018214338	Surprised, I as- suredly was, and yet what, after all, had I discovered?
osu.32435018214338	Tell me, Mrs. Devereaux, what, in your opinion, does this letter signify?
osu.32435018214338	That I may keep her from — my friends. ” “ Landis, is this a confidence?
osu.32435018214338	That is all I ask. ” “ And — your wife? ” “ I shall take the Doctor's advice.
osu.32435018214338	That question was, —- “ Since the Doverfields'diamonds were first put into the vault here, were they ever taken out, previous to this last time?
osu.32435018214338	That right? ” “ Quite right, ” I answered and, after a half hour of interchange- able speculation Kenyon went back to his post.
osu.32435018214338	That you had a plan, eh?
osu.32435018214338	The case is serious I tell you! ” “ How serious?
osu.32435018214338	The key was stuck in the drawer, too, and I left it as I found it. ” “ In the drawer? ” I asked quickly.
osu.32435018214338	The living parchment? ” “ Exactly!
osu.32435018214338	The police made known the arrest of that young man — a professional criminal, I understand?
osu.32435018214338	The receiver, perhaps of my precious jewels, and the sharer to be, in the final division of the spoils?
osu.32435018214338	The servants do n’t seem able to. ” “ Why did n't you? ” he asked as I sprang past him into the front seat.
osu.32435018214338	The shams burglarized by Keen Johnny Deegan| And — Ara Doverfields?
osu.32435018214338	The valet, in the artisan's clothes, is probably now in search of a place. ” “ Are you sure about this — this discharge? ” I questioned.
osu.32435018214338	The wife all — that could be told?
osu.32435018214338	Then I dined in the company of Madam's brother, and was sure it was not Meyrick who played this role. ” “ You say played? ” “ Yes, but wait.
osu.32435018214338	Then it does concern my brother?
osu.32435018214338	Then you had noticed it, too?
osu.32435018214338	Then, as he continued silent, “ Do you care for unfinished details? ” I asked.
osu.32435018214338	Then, “ Have you thought to go alone to the docks? ” “ No.
osu.32435018214338	Then—“Got a pencil? ” he asked.
osu.32435018214338	Then—“What do you think of it? ” he questioned.
osu.32435018214338	There is a good reason of course — ” “ For what, mademoiselle? ” “ For your delay in interviewing this person. ” “ You are quite right.
osu.32435018214338	There is really something to do? ” Already a new look was dawning in the young face; eagerness and inter- est was speaking in her deep, brown eyes.
osu.32435018214338	There's the dog? ” “ I have thought of that.
osu.32435018214338	They thought it looked like his work — his methods? ” “ Yes. ” I had now made up my mind.
osu.32435018214338	They were rare jewels, were they not? ” “ So I have heard, ” I replied with much candor.
osu.32435018214338	They will take possession, Mad- am and her brother, the day after tomorrow. ” “ And — she takes Josephine? ” Again Mrs. Devereaux laughed.
osu.32435018214338	This do? ” and he read slowly, “ Miss Lizzie Frieble, Dear Liz:—Please give bearer of this the packet marked with three crosses, unopened.
osu.32435018214338	This weaver of melodrama?
osu.32435018214338	To hear of one so — so indifferent to such treasures, arouses one's wonder Who will tell me of her?
osu.32435018214338	Turned sulky, and would n’t talk. ” “ Really| What do you make of him, Kenyon? ” “ Nothing, yet. ”- “ And what is he?
osu.32435018214338	Turned sulky, and would n’t talk. ” “ Really| What do you make of him, Kenyon? ” “ Nothing, yet. ”- “ And what is he?
osu.32435018214338	Uncertain at times, and — a bit in awe of Madam? ” And again I heard the chuckle and the dry half murmur I hated.
osu.32435018214338	Uncle has had a queer letter from Nancy, and—- there are other things — Oh, will you?
osu.32435018214338	Until the Urania arrives and the man begins to show his hand, what can we do? ” “ True! ” The girl sat straight and motionless before us.
osu.32435018214338	Was Mrs. Doverfields well content to have Madam Barthelme out of town?
osu.32435018214338	Was ever a stranger case?
osu.32435018214338	Was it not — what was it? ” “ I think you know!
osu.32435018214338	Was it not?
osu.32435018214338	Was it really so great a loss?
osu.32435018214338	Was she trying to exasperate me?
osu.32435018214338	Was she — I had heard of such things — the actual, and he merely the nominal, head of the house?
osu.32435018214338	We must have patience. ” “ Is there no chance but that of waiting their time? ” “ Yes, but an improbable one.
osu.32435018214338	Well, and why not?
osu.32435018214338	Well, sir, he hiked up them stairs like he was after a train; an'if he ai n’t took one afore this I ’m a goat! ” “ Is that a fact, boy?
osu.32435018214338	Well? ” “ Well — your Mr. Soames has followed your instructions to the letter; but he has never exceeded them.
osu.32435018214338	What I want to know is, who has? ” “ Huh!
osu.32435018214338	What can you tell me of her — and of her family?
osu.32435018214338	What did he want of that — if —? ”"Simply this.
osu.32435018214338	What did it mean?
osu.32435018214338	What do you think of it? ” Before I could declare myself, a tap upon the door brought us to attention, and Kenyon entered panting and grinning.
osu.32435018214338	What else could her reluctance, her silence, her want of candor mean?
osu.32435018214338	What else? ” “ Again, he may have no thought of troubling you.
osu.32435018214338	What else? ” “ And that Nancy is his fitting guardian, pro tem.
osu.32435018214338	What had I learned then, after all?
osu.32435018214338	What indeed?
osu.32435018214338	What is his game? ” She drew her small figure erect and clasped her hands tightly in her lap.
osu.32435018214338	What part had she played among these mysteries?
osu.32435018214338	What part, if any, was she play- ing now?
osu.32435018214338	What say you? ” I sprang up, almost overturning my chair.
osu.32435018214338	What then was the man's reason for returning to this city, where he was known to the police, and where he assuredly was not wanted?
osu.32435018214338	What was he eyeing back there beyond my range of vision, and so close to Madam's carriage?
osu.32435018214338	What was he up to?
osu.32435018214338	What was the other one? ” I thought it well to humor him.
osu.32435018214338	What was this woman's purpose?

osu.32435018214338	What's the fellow up to? ” I picked up the envelopes and glanced at the date on each.
osu.32435018214338	What's this?

osu.32435018214338	Who knows her best? ” • Mrs. Landis leaned forward.
osu.32435018214338	Why could the husband tell me nothing?
osu.32435018214338	Why did she dis- miss Josephine Bryce? ” I put aside my half reviewed notes, to ponder.
osu.32435018214338	Why did she persist in being present, in hearing every word, when we discussed the matter?
osu.32435018214338	Why did they not apply to you, a clubman who might be supposed to be able to aid a stranger in such a diffi- culty?
osu.32435018214338	Why had not Tonto been 1-card from?
osu.32435018214338	Why may he not be simply coming back to take up his old trade where he laid it down?
osu.32435018214338	Why should he, a stranger, shun the people around Wraylands? ” “ I do n’t know!
osu.32435018214338	Why so soon home? ” queried her mother.
osu.32435018214338	Why stir up expectations, when, to appear before his victim suddenly and without warning, was obviously the wiser and more promising course?
osu.32435018214338	Why that is not customary, is it?
osu.32435018214338	Why, good heavens, man what are you driving at?
osu.32435018214338	Why, man are you trying to go back on me? ” I smiled.
osu.32435018214338	Will a stranger — do? ” “ Decidedly not.
osu.32435018214338	Will it interest you? ” “ Deeply".

osu.32435018214338	With my hand upon Craig's door I turned; “ Anyone else with Mr. Craig? ” I questioned.
osu.32435018214338	Ye see? ” We did see.

osu.32435018214338	You have no reason to think this girl dishonest, I suppose? ” “ Oh, no!
osu.32435018214338	You know I do n't mean to quizz you? ” I laughed as our eyes met.
osu.32435018214338	You know her, Mr. Craig?
osu.32435018214338	You know what it contained? ” I nodded.
osu.32435018214338	You must not allow him to frighten us, see? ” and, for the first time, a gleam of mischief crossed her face.
osu.32435018214338	You must remember that I was very close to him for some brief but clearly illuminated moments. ” “ And — you held your tongue? ” “ Surely!

osu.32435018214338	“ And does that end the story? ” I urged.
osu.32435018214338	“ And it was by your advice that we met, her husband and I, in her morning room, and within her hearing? ” “ You are wrong there.

osu.32435018214338	“ Are you reasoning by the old method? ” and his eyes twinkled.
osu.32435018214338	“ At what stage in the conversation did you arrive?
osu.32435018214338	“ Austin Eaton Doverfields, my friend?
osu.32435018214338	“ Austin, ” said Mrs. Doverfields suddenly, “ do you think you and Mr. – Preston could dispense with me now?

osu.32435018214338	“ Do you deny this is his bag? ” I bent closer.
osu.32435018214338	“ Do you know this woman, Mr. Doverfields? ” I asked.
osu.32435018214338	“ Do you mean that?
osu.32435018214338	“ Do you mean the fact that the chap was more or less made up?
osu.32435018214338	“ Do you mean to drop it? ” he ques- tioned.
osu.32435018214338	“ Do you mean — was your light burning? ” She shrank back, and her voice faltered, as she said, “ That is what Lucy told me this morning!
osu.32435018214338	“ Do you need a stable boy, for instance? ” “ You ’ll find an occupation, never fear, ” I replied, and we began-- p p 9. to discuss details.

osu.32435018214338	“ Going out? ” he questioned, as he swung fully toward me at last.
osu.32435018214338	“ Good heavens! ” he ejaculated, “ what can it mean?

osu.32435018214338	“ I have fancied it, once or twice. ” “ And — when? ” I was very eager now.
osu.32435018214338	“ I presume you have not forgotten the Frieble case, eh? ” He frowned.
osu.32435018214338	“ I wonder if you do?

osu.32435018214338	“ Jasper, do you fall in with this policy of delay? ” I started.
osu.32435018214338	“ Jasper, what have you done to Mrs. Dover- fields? ” I stared, but I knew it was not yet time to answer.
osu.32435018214338	“ Ken, ” she began, “ May I ask a few questions? ” “ All at Once P ” I fended.
osu.32435018214338	“ Ken,-let me see — how long has it been since Ralph Mey- rick was sent up? ” he asked, his face becoming gloomy.
osu.32435018214338	“ Ken- neth, are we to be victimized by that young thief and assacsin again? ” “ Not for long, I trust.
osu.32435018214338	“ Kenneth! ” her low voice was strong with earnest appeal, “ may I admit Enid and tell her all?
osu.32435018214338	“ Kenneth, do you think uncle will be likely to take mamma or myself into his confidence?
osu.32435018214338	“ Kenneth, ” he exclaimed, “ could it be possible that there are two Monsieurs?
osu.32435018214338	“ Landis, may I ask if anything serious has happened?
osu.32435018214338	“ Learned anything much that would explain his queer doings? ” I ventured.

osu.32435018214338	“ Let's see; where did Hal leave off? ” he questioned.
osu.32435018214338	“ Look here Ken, am I becoming an old nuisance, tumbling in upon you at all hours with my conundrums?
osu.32435018214338	“ Madam, ” I suggested, mildly, “ are you willing to confront this man?
osu.32435018214338	“ Made it, not quite. ” “ Planned it, then? ” “ I have written to “ Parchments, ’ ” I replied, holding up the letter.

osu.32435018214338	“ Precisely where was this key when found? ” I questioned carelessly.
osu.32435018214338	“ Really now, Mr. Craig, how was it?
osu.32435018214338	“ Shall we go down to the library once more, sir? ” and I went to the door, turning and bowing at the threshold.
osu.32435018214338	“ She's a meddler; and I know she has made Miss Enid unhappy! ” “ You know? ” “ Oh, I have got eyes!
osu.32435018214338	“ Still harping on the DOverfields ’ diamonds? ” he asked.
osu.32435018214338	“ Tell me, Mr. – Preston, what do you make of this case? ” “ Nothing as yet.

osu.32435018214338	“ Well, Nancy, ” chirped the friendly soul, “ how's the little bride by this time? ”- “ Why, doin’ pretty well, Doctor.
osu.32435018214338	“ Well, what do you think of it? ” the Captain questioned.
osu.32435018214338	“ Well? ” “ There is another thing, ” I went on.
osu.32435018214338	“ What did it mean?
osu.32435018214338	“ What did you tell the gentleman, Jem? ” I never encouraged his curiosity by asking what my visitor said.
osu.32435018214338	“ What do you make of this? ” and I whipped off the cover, carelessly emptying the contents of the box upon the dresser.
osu.32435018214338	“ What do you think? ” he finished lamely.
osu.32435018214338	“ What else could you call it?

osu.32435018214338	“ What have you there, eh? ” He placed the thing upon the desk close to his elbow.
osu.32435018214338	“ What is it to be, a violet, or a whole basket of roses? ” Craig turned upon me with utmost sang froid, and actually beamed a welcome.
osu.32435018214338	“ What is it, Captain? ” and then, as he hesitated, “ No more matrimonial tricks, eh? ” smiling reminiscently.

osu.32435018214338	“ What is it? ” she asked.
osu.32435018214338	“ What was her errand? ” While pondering this question I was making my way with long strides back to the place I had so hastily left.
osu.32435018214338	“ What would you advise? ” I questioned.
osu.32435018214338	“ What —? ” I questioned, and Enid broke in, unsmiling now.
osu.32435018214338	“ What's that? ” and then, as I lifted it out and laid it upon the table between us, “ snakes! ” he IN THE BLACK SATCHEL 241 chuckled.

wu.89011732724	Why there, sir? ” he inquired. wu.89011732724 You gave Fernandes the poison, of course?"
wu.89011732724	You know that person, sir? ” said Mr. Abrahams, smiling and rubbing his hands. wu.89011732724 You would n't like to sell this, I suppose, Mr. Hasleton?'

wu.89011732724	And did you speak to your mother? ” Millicent nodded her head.
wu.89011732724	And what is it you have to tell me, Miss Oxenham? ” he continued, turning to Millicent.
wu.89011732724	Anything I can do for you before I go, Dwayne?"
wu.89011732724	Bartenstein? ” he said presently, in a wheezy voice.
wu.89011732724	Because I've nothing to keep back, d’ye see, eh?
wu.89011732724	But at the sight of his daughter he scowled and “ What do you come here for? ” he demanded surlily.
wu.89011732724	But how had the thief contrived to get into his room unobserved?
wu.89011732724	But it is n't. ” “ Not all?
wu.89011732724	But we had no quarrel. ”"Not any high words last night?"
wu.89011732724	But what of the Spaniard?
wu.89011732724	But what, Inspector, what?
wu.89011732724	But why- why?
wu.89011732724	By the by, is n't young Lauderdale din- ing tonight? ” “ Yes, Father, ” she answered.
wu.89011732724	Can it be that Bartenstein can have been behind the operation that would have ruined me?
wu.89011732724	Can we bring them here, Mr. Marrett, and could you send one of your men for Dr. Sprig? ” “ All right,"said the landlord.
wu.89011732724	Chester, ” he continued, turning to the man, “ is the supper- tray set out in the study? ”"Everything is there, sir,"replied Chester.

wu.89011732724	Do you know whether he had any accident to it this week? ” “ Yes,"replied Miss Berridge unhesitatingly.
wu.89011732724	Do you think Mr. Bartenstein's death had anything to do with this?"

wu.89011732724	I was never more than twenty yards behind him, but I lost him. ” “ Where? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	I was not with Mr. Bartenstein more than six or eight minutes. ”"Did you notice anything in his room, sir?"
wu.89011732724	I wonder if the old man has any connection with Berridge?"
wu.89011732724	I- I have been wondering if “ Yes? ” said Lauderdale, as she paused.
wu.89011732724	Indeed, I could not have heard anything else. ” “ But why, señor?"
wu.89011732724	Is that card one of yours, sir?"

wu.89011732724	MURDER AT THE HOTEL VENEZIA 215 “ What is it, Mitchell? ” he asked quietly.
wu.89011732724	Mean- while, who found it? ”"His valet, a man named Chester,"answered the police- inspector.

wu.89011732724	Never know what you may be able to do, you know, eh? ” “ Quite so, sir, ” replied Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	No such luck for us, my boy, more's the pity “ Is Mr. Rosenbaum the sole heir, sir?"
wu.89011732724	Now I think Mr. Berridge wears an artificial eye?
wu.89011732724	Now I want you to tell me why you ca n't give your evidence freely on behalf of Lieutenant Lauderdale?
wu.89011732724	Now, I wonder if there was anything in Bartenstein's early history?
wu.89011732724	Now, keep all this to yourself, you know, eh? ” Mr. Abrahams lifted his hands and wagged his beard.
wu.89011732724	Oh, Jack dear, what's to be done? ” Lauderdale rapped out another objurgation.
wu.89011732724	Oh, Mr. Dwayne, what does this mean?"
wu.89011732724	Ready?
wu.89011732724	See?"
wu.89011732724	Sir, may I ask you a question?"
wu.89011732724	Sounds very mysterious, do n't you think?"
wu.89011732724	That's how he got the name of Grand- father Punctuality. ” “ Where does he live? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	The threads are drawing closer — they are drawing closer! ” “ Quite so, but round whom? ” asked Mr. Tyndale.
wu.89011732724	There was generally a motor or a hansom waiting in the side street then. ” “ I suppose you saw most of his callers during the morning here?"
wu.89011732724	Waiting to me, Basset?"
wu.89011732724	Was that so very remarkable?"
wu.89011732724	We know he was a collector- did you sell it him?"
wu.89011732724	We look about the apartment — we find this?"
wu.89011732724	Well, today- this afternoon — I found that my desperate remedy had failed. ” “ And what does that mean, Father?"
wu.89011732724	What I want to get at just now, Lieutenant Lauderdale, is how did Bartenstein get hold of that sword- stick?
wu.89011732724	What brought us here?
wu.89011732724	What brought you here?"
wu.89011732724	What did all this mystery about the sword- stick mean?

wu.89011732724	What do you suppose this hollow hilt and hollow head were intended for, Inspector?
wu.89011732724	What else is there? ” asked Lauder- dale.
wu.89011732724	What good could its possession do to him who had stolen it?
wu.89011732724	What hand had done this?
wu.89011732724	What hap- pened to Bartenstein when he became possessed of it?"
wu.89011732724	What particular virtue was there about the thing?
wu.89011732724	What was she going to hear?
wu.89011732724	What, she wondered, was he going to tell her?
wu.89011732724	Where did she send the other? ” demanded the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	Who on earth would have thought of that?"
wu.89011732724	Why ca n't you speak?
wu.89011732724	Why not give up business and devote yourself to your books for — for the rest of your time?
wu.89011732724	Why was somebody or other taking all this trouble to possess himself, or themselves, of it?

wu.89011732724	Yet, if she she had not seen- The Inspector had arranged with Mitchell?

wu.89011732724	“ A species of genius, eh?"
wu.89011732724	“ A sufficient one?"
wu.89011732724	“ Ah, what? ” he said.
wu.89011732724	“ Am I to understand that it refers to a proposal of marriage made to her by Bartenstein?"
wu.89011732724	“ And where may that be, sir? ” asked the Inspector eagerly.
wu.89011732724	“ And you were the last person to see your master alive?"
wu.89011732724	“ And'I suppose all the servants are gone to bed?
wu.89011732724	“ And, I say, if Grandfather Punctuality comes here again, just get on to the telephone to me at once, will you?

wu.89011732724	“ Any more of'em- any ladies? ” “ No, sir- only them two, ” replied the man outside.
wu.89011732724	“ Anything really important?"
wu.89011732724	“ Are you going to save my father?"
wu.89011732724	“ Are you not suspected of the murder of Mr. Bartenstein, and on very strong evidence?"
wu.89011732724	“ Are you very tired today, Father? ” she asked, when she had kissed him and put him into his favourite chair.
wu.89011732724	“ Between our love for each other?"
wu.89011732724	“ But, Jack- my father?"
wu.89011732724	“ Carrying the jappaned tin case? ” said Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	“ Dearest- am I to speak to your father tonight?
wu.89011732724	“ Did he come home alone last night? ” “ He came home alone, sir, but he did n't come up here alone, ” replied the valet.
wu.89011732724	“ Did you drive it through his heart? ” he whispered.
wu.89011732724	“ Did you ever know his business? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ Did you hear his name? ” asked Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	“ Did you — did you — did you?
wu.89011732724	“ Do you know whose handwriting that is? ” he asked her.
wu.89011732724	“ Do you mean that he is hopelessly and irretrievably ruined? ” she said.
wu.89011732724	“ Does the document throw any light on the matter, señor? ” asked Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	“ Does- does he know? ” she asked, forcing herself to look at her visitor, though she knew that tears were in her eyes.
wu.89011732724	“ Egad, Cunningham, he's a lucky fellow, young Rosen- baum, eh?
wu.89011732724	“ Have you ever seen this before? ” he said.
wu.89011732724	“ How de do? ” said Mr. Tyndale affably, and inspecting the detective with great curiosity and interest.
wu.89011732724	“ How long can he live? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ How long did you stay there after that?"
wu.89011732724	“ I take it from that, ” said Inspector Dwayne,"that you were not on friendly terms?"
wu.89011732724	“ I understand that you can give me some informa- tion about the sword- stick which is mentioned in the newspaper accounts of the Bartenstein case?
wu.89011732724	“ I understand that you found Mr. Barten- stein's dead body? ” said Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	“ If what, dear?"
wu.89011732724	“ Is Atkinson within? ”"Atkinson, ” answered the woman, “ is out, sir.'
wu.89011732724	“ It's — it's nothing between you and me, Millie? ” he said.
wu.89011732724	“ Just as the police saw it when they first came? ” said the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ Just as usual?"
wu.89011732724	“ Knowledge, sir?
wu.89011732724	“ May I ask what his business or profession is? ” said the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ May I, then, be permitted to look upon so historic a relic?"
wu.89011732724	“ Now you're sure Bartenstein closed the door? ” “ I heard him bolt it, sir- heavily, ” answered the chauffeur.
wu.89011732724	“ Now,"he said, “ have you any idea as to how that sword- stick came into Mr. Bartenstein's possession from yours?
wu.89011732724	“ Of course you sent the fellow to the right- about, Millie? ” he said quietly.
wu.89011732724	“ Oh, Jack, Jack, could you have con- ceived such villainy?"
wu.89011732724	“ Oh, Jack,"cried Millicent as they drove off,"what is it?
wu.89011732724	“ Or to recognize a face?"
wu.89011732724	“ Señor Olivares, I believe? ” said the In- spector at last.
wu.89011732724	“ Shall I go there, Mr. Dwayne?"
wu.89011732724	“ Shall I take them out? ” Inspector Dwayne showed signs of much per- turbation.
wu.89011732724	“ Then you've heard him and other people talking? ”'asked Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	“ Then, Father, if a thousand a year is certain, she said, “ why go to Mr. Bartenstein?
wu.89011732724	“ Three nights ago? ” she said.
wu.89011732724	“ Two of you?
wu.89011732724	“ Under what circumstances, sir?"
wu.89011732724	“ Was your mission to Bartenstein the delivery of this letter? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ Well, he's not sole heir, nor any sort of heir, Dwayne, do n't you know?
wu.89011732724	“ Well, miss? ” he said.
wu.89011732724	“ Well, ” he said,"did you find out where the old man lived?"
wu.89011732724	“ Well? ” he said.
wu.89011732724	“ Well? ” said Dwayne as he sprang from the cab.
wu.89011732724	“ Well? ” said Inspector Dwayne, who had been narrowly inspecting the young man and had set him down for an honest fellow.
wu.89011732724	“ Well? ” she said.
wu.89011732724	“ What a glorious morning, Basset, is n't it? ” she said cheerily.
wu.89011732724	“ What are you thinking of? ” asked Lauder- dale.
wu.89011732724	“ What became of the young lady, señor, who gave the stick away?"
wu.89011732724	“ What business was that of his? ” he asked.
wu.89011732724	“ What can I tell you? ”"Well, ma'am, ” replied the Inspector, “ I think I might be able to assist you, if you can answer a few questions.
wu.89011732724	“ What do you mean, sir? ” exclaimed Lauder- dale, half angrily.
wu.89011732724	“ What does the door lead to? ”"To a turret- stair, sir, built out at the corner of the house, ” said Chester.
wu.89011732724	“ What is that last resort?"
wu.89011732724	“ What on earth did he want with you? ” “ He explained that he had come to tell me the real truth about my father's affairs, ” she answered.
wu.89011732724	“ What people? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ What was he saying to you, Lieutenant?"
wu.89011732724	“ What's his name? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ What's she uneasy for, then? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ What's that mean? ”"It's on account of his method of doing business, ” answered the dealer.
wu.89011732724	“ What's the use?
wu.89011732724	“ What's to be done?"
wu.89011732724	“ Where did you find such a fine work?'
wu.89011732724	“ Where, then?"
wu.89011732724	“ Who gave you this, my lad? ” asked the Inspector.
wu.89011732724	“ Who's going to believe that sort of rot at this time of day?"
wu.89011732724	“ Why are you frightened?"
wu.89011732724	“ Why did n't you report your loss to the police? ” asked Inspector Dwayne.
wu.89011732724	“ Would n't what be better? ” asked the In- spector.
wu.89011732724	“ Yes, yes? ” said the Inspector, seeing the chauffeur pause.
wu.89011732724	“ You do n't say so? ” “ I do, ” answered Mr. Tyndale assertively.
wu.89011732724	“ You have n't seen any strangers about this morning, have you?"
wu.89011732724	“ You have no idea of the cause of his altered behaviour? ” he said.
wu.89011732724	“ You remember that I told you this morning that I was troubled about my father?"
wu.89011732724	“ You see that curtain?
wu.89011732724	“ You're — you're in at the death, eh? ” Inspector Dwayne looked at him fixedly, and not without some pity.

wu.89005052147	What is he? ” Well, as far as I know, he is something in his father's business. wu.89005052147 You think the horse kicked him to death- a horse that was fond of him?

wu.89005052147	Did you see Lord Gascoyne? ” No."
wu.89005052147	Do n't you agree? ” I did agree, and embroidered her conclusions with even stronger argument.
wu.89005052147	Do n't you think my niece is a beautiful woman?"
wu.89005052147	Do n't you think, my dear, we are a little premature?"

wu.89005052147	Do you like him? ” “ Oh, he is all right. ” I might just as well have said plainly that I disliked him, for Sibella was not deceived.
wu.89005052147	Do you think women only value love when it is accompanied by worldly advantage?

wu.89005052147	ISRAEL RANK 66 “ But my wife?"
wu.89005052147	If the brothers found out, were they the sort of men likely to take a violent revenge, and if they were not was the lover such a man?

wu.89005052147	It was romance under its most healthy aspect. ” “ You mean that men had to fight for their women?"
wu.89005052147	It will be perfect, wo n't it? ” There was a silence eloquent of an embrace.

wu.89005052147	“ Next Sunday?"
wu.89005052147	“ No, but do you remember one evening when you and Sibella were in the stalls at the Gaiety, and I was in a box with some people?"
wu.89005052147	“ Now, is n't she pretty, Mr. Rank?"
wu.89005052147	“ Oh, Mr. Rank, what can have happened?"
wu.89005052147	“ Oh, these things have a way of deciding them- selves. ” “ Yes, but not always satisfactorily. ” Why, you do n't think?"
wu.89005052147	“ Really, ” said Lady Gascoyne, “ I shall have to engage you as nurse, or are you mesmerising Simeon?
wu.89005052147	“ Seriously?"

wu.89005052147	“ They did, and he was evidently under the influence of the man who believed in the horse theory. ” What was the verdict?"
wu.89005052147	“ Was he at home to dinner?"
wu.89005052147	“ Was my uncle very much affected? ” Terribly.
wu.89005052147	“ Well, I'm not mercenary, am I?"
wu.89005052147	“ Well, you can always say you did n't know. ” What, and drop you?"
wu.89005052147	“ What about?"
wu.89005052147	“ What could it have been? ” asked Grainger, the boy who had been timing him.
wu.89005052147	“ What did you do? ” “ I thought he had mistaken the decanter of claret for port, and I took it from him and helped him to port.

wu.89005052147	“ What on earth will they say?"
wu.89005052147	“ What would you do if I were to marry, Sibella? ” This was a question I was very fond of asking her.
wu.89005052147	“ What would you do, Sibella, if I married?"
wu.89005052147	“ When do you expect him to return? ” Not till to- morrow, sir. ” I went in.
wu.89005052147	“ When was he found? ” asked Miss Gascoyne, as we drove rapidly away, leaving the little group outside the public- house to discuss the matter.
wu.89005052147	“ Who asked him? ” I interjected, slily.
wu.89005052147	“ Why should you not tell me? ” she murmured, after a pause.
wu.89005052147	“ Why, have you seen them? ” I had made a slip.
wu.89005052147	“ Why?"
wu.89005052147	“ Will some of you oblige me by helping to look for him?"
wu.89005052147	“ Will some of you run and fetch a stretcher and help to carry him home? ” “'e's dead, then, doctor? ” “ I am afraid so."

wu.89005052147	“ Would n't you like to be a lord? ” said Sibella, looking at me mischievously.
wu.89005052147	“ Yes, sir? ” I queried.

wu.89005052147	“ You are getting on, Israel, are n't you?"
wu.89005052147	“ You are not afraid of infection, are you?"
wu.89005052147	“ You believe that the good are not as good as they would have us believe, nor the bad as bad? ” “ Exactly."
wu.89005052147	“ You consider matrimony a woman's vocation? ” I asked.

wu.89005052147	“ You mean that you would prefer an establishment of your own? ” Well, yes, you see I have been spoilt.

wu.89005052147	“ You think that a criminal may make a charming member of society, a good husband and father? ” I winced.

uva.x030809270	In that case, why in the world did n't we hurry out of the danger- zone yesterday when we had the chance? uva.x030809270 Is it as bad as all that?"
uva.x030809270	It's always kind, it's alway chivalrous, is n't it, for the gentlemn to give way to the lady?
uva.x030809270	Marrying her? uva.x030809270 May it be sent to your dressing- room, if you please?"
uva.x030809270	Mind maximum hours for minimum wage for women workers? uva.x030809270 My son?"
uva.x030809270	My word, Mrs. Jerome- Jarvis, why should I? uva.x030809270 Oh, do n't you, though?
uva.x030809270	Oh, you are, are you?
uva.x030809270	Ought one to know her?

uva.x030809270	Shall you go along?
uva.x030809270	She had the nerve to lock you up? uva.x030809270 So this is why my wires did n't reach you?
uva.x030809270	Sure? uva.x030809270 Thanks, but wo n't the union protest if you take on duties that are outside your province?"
uva.x030809270	That all?
uva.x030809270	The girl you have in mind, are you sure she's attractive enough?
uva.x030809270	The old madam? uva.x030809270 Then are n't you a bit'narvus'too?"
uva.x030809270	Then it was n't Mrs. Jerome- Jarvis you rushed to rescue?
uva.x030809270	Then why did n't you get up?
uva.x030809270	Then you have n't actually seen him?
uva.x030809270	Then your son's is to the left?
uva.x030809270	Then, why not?
uva.x030809270	Told me? uva.x030809270 Too rough?"
uva.x030809270	Trouble? uva.x030809270 Trunk, miss?"

uva.x030809270	What's up?
uva.x030809270	What?
uva.x030809270	When I was shut up in my cabin all this time? uva.x030809270 Where's the owner of this boat?"
uva.x030809270	Who are'they'?
uva.x030809270	Who was it jeered at well- dressed women, when I first came aboard? uva.x030809270 Who's in there now?
uva.x030809270	Whom have I on yacht?
uva.x030809270	Whom?
uva.x030809270	Why are you doing it another way? uva.x030809270 Why ca n't I?"
uva.x030809270	Why do n't I?
uva.x030809270	Why do n't you change your situation?
uva.x030809270	Why have n't you come out all this time?
uva.x030809270	Why not lock it, then?
uva.x030809270	Why not, if Mrs. Jerome- Jarvis has the THE MANNEQUIN 73 effrontery to say it to Miss Elizabeth Tiernan? uva.x030809270 Why not?"
uva.x030809270	Why should I? uva.x030809270 Why since this morning?"
uva.x030809270	Why wait to ship her back? uva.x030809270 Why was n't I informed?"
uva.x030809270	Why what?
uva.x030809270	Why?
uva.x030809270	Will that lock the panel?
uva.x030809270	Wo n't I have the same old qualms of conscience when I come out of this and settle back to the same old dog- at- the- churn act? uva.x030809270 Would first- mate be a better job than what you've already got?"
uva.x030809270	You are a married man, are you not?
uva.x030809270	You dare say that?
uva.x030809270	You do n't mean,she gasped, clutching his sleeve with desperate intensity,"you do n't mean you'd take the life of a helpless crea- ture?"
uva.x030809270	You have the face to own up to a fact so compromising?
uva.x030809270	You look after him, in addition to your other duties?
uva.x030809270	You mean if she should care it would be serious?
uva.x030809270	You mean they're chasing us again today? uva.x030809270 You mean we wo n't show fight?
uva.x030809270	You mean you change your profile? uva.x030809270 You mean you had intended going to Nassau?"
uva.x030809270	You mean you think she would n't?
uva.x030809270	You mean, we ran away?
uva.x030809270	You say there's wireless aboard and I never knew it? uva.x030809270 You think they mean business?"
uva.x030809270	You wish me to go?
uva.x030809270	You'd better talk when every word that comes out of your mouth contradicts the one that went before?
uva.x030809270	You'd make me?
uva.x030809270	Your chance?

uva.x030809270	186 THE MANNEQUIN"How dare you?"
uva.x030809270	44 THE MANNEQUIN"Why wait to ship her back?
uva.x030809270	?"
uva.x030809270	A handful of men?
uva.x030809270	After all, why should she be agitated?
uva.x030809270	Anybody?"
uva.x030809270	Anything more?"
uva.x030809270	Are n't we flying the American flag?
uva.x030809270	At least, I never thought they THE MANNEQUIN 63 once?
uva.x030809270	Besides, are we not told to'Go bury thy sor- row'?
uva.x030809270	Besides, you could see for yourself, could n't you?"
uva.x030809270	But do you think I believe you?
uva.x030809270	But suppose they torpedo us?
uva.x030809270	By the way, what time is it, Cousin Molly?"
uva.x030809270	By the way, whom have I to thank for the service?"
uva.x030809270	Can you?"
uva.x030809270	Clear decks, as it were?
uva.x030809270	Could you manage to be inter- ested in the sea- scape for a minute, while I skate through that freaky contraption in the wall?"
uva.x030809270	D'you know what it is?
uva.x030809270	D'you know?
uva.x030809270	D'you mind disclosing who you are?"
uva.x030809270	Did he want to get rid of her?
uva.x030809270	Did n't you notice, yesterday?"
uva.x030809270	Did you ever see such a sight as she is this morning?"
uva.x030809270	Does n't that protect us?
uva.x030809270	Done what?"
uva.x030809270	Elsie?"
uva.x030809270	Ever see iron filings resist a lode- stone?"
uva.x030809270	Force?"
uva.x030809270	Has anyone told you what it is?"
uva.x030809270	Has anything happened to your watch?"
uva.x030809270	Have n't you any plans for today?"
uva.x030809270	He ought to go down on his shin- bones and 2 10 THE MANNEQUIN"What d'you mean?"
uva.x030809270	His calling her down when he fancied she was getting sentimental?
uva.x030809270	Homesick?
uva.x030809270	How about his daughter?
uva.x030809270	How about it?"
uva.x030809270	How and where was Elsie now?
uva.x030809270	How could he when my own father stood... O steward, you do believe me, do n't you?"
uva.x030809270	How could we resist?"
uva.x030809270	How do you mean?"
uva.x030809270	How long is it since we THE MANNEQUIN 117 stood here together last?
uva.x030809270	I do n't have to care what his opinion of me is, do I?
uva.x030809270	I say, what's the matter, steward?"
uva.x030809270	I'd know if the explosion or what- ever it was, was in there, would n't I?"
uva.x030809270	I'm neces- sity, see?"
uva.x030809270	I... oh, what dif- ference does it make, Dad?
uva.x030809270	I... oh, why did n't we stop, I wonder?"
uva.x030809270	If I could protect myself in the future, why had n't I done so in the past?
uva.x030809270	If pretending I'm a baggage will help me out of a hole, why, who's to blame me for pretending I'm a baggage?
uva.x030809270	If someone had turned a key on me, d'you suppose I'd tamely submit, as you are doing?
uva.x030809270	If the error were corrected, what then?

uva.x030809270	If they are after us again I dare say it is only to take off their hat and say,'How d'ye do?'
uva.x030809270	In the name of fair play, why should I trust you if you do n't trust me?"
uva.x030809270	Is n't that enough?
uva.x030809270	Is that what you refer to?"
uva.x030809270	Is that why we're going so fast?"
uva.x030809270	It seems a pity to sleep away so much of it, does n't it, dear?"
uva.x030809270	It was natural, was n't it?
uva.x030809270	It would n't be a pleasing joke to run up against the unbalanced one and have him'throw a fit'ferninst me, would it?
uva.x030809270	It's of no consequence, but the shock and now the motion( it's uncommonly rough, is n't it?)
uva.x030809270	Jerome- Jarvis?"
uva.x030809270	Lord, what's that?"
uva.x030809270	Mrs. Jerome- Jarvis and her abominable im- plications?
uva.x030809270	No, for she did n't believe the petty officer was in earnest about Nietzsche, and besides, even if he were, how could that concern her?
uva.x030809270	Now what was brewing?
uva.x030809270	Now will you be good and go... go where you live and rest up?"
uva.x030809270	Oh, please, who are you?"
uva.x030809270	Or was it only that she fancied they were ripping up the waves at a slashing pace, making for land, as it were, on the run?
uva.x030809270	Relieve himself of a com- promising passenger?
uva.x030809270	See that faint hairline of black,'way out at the far edge of the sky?
uva.x030809270	She had forgotten her Nietzsche theory, forgotten the law, forgotten that the steward was a transgressor against it?
uva.x030809270	She turned the key on you?"
uva.x030809270	She was terribly mauled, poor lady, was n't she?
uva.x030809270	She wondered if he were doing it"on purpose,"exulting in doing it?
uva.x030809270	She's told you what she thinks?"
uva.x030809270	Some ozzer di- vertissement will then be found for monsieur, eh?"
uva.x030809270	Sort of interesting, eh?
uva.x030809270	Suppose she had had no such purse?
uva.x030809270	THE MANNEQUIN 115"What fashion?
uva.x030809270	THE MANNEQUIN 149"Why should anybody tell you?
uva.x030809270	THE MANNEQUIN 25"Why should you be nervous about the Promenade?"
uva.x030809270	THE MANNEQUIN 57"We ell?"
uva.x030809270	THE MANNEQUIN 67"What time was that?"
uva.x030809270	Take me up?"
uva.x030809270	That sort of effeminism went out when what- you- call feminism came in, did n't it?
uva.x030809270	The example of him should be a lesson to zose lazies who( how does one say?)
uva.x030809270	The old way was all right, was n't it?"
uva.x030809270	The petty officer's shocking confession of faith in Nietzsche and his murderous doctrine?
uva.x030809270	Then turning slowly to Elizabeth:"Who are you... if anyone?
uva.x030809270	Then, when I'm safe and sound, back in St. Louis in the arms of my dear old Dad, he'll acknowledge your timely help to me with( what shall I call it?)
uva.x030809270	This is Jerome- Jarvis's stateroom, you say?"
uva.x030809270	Too bad the transportation people ca n't run their Nassau steamer on schedule time, is n't it?
uva.x030809270	Was n't it bad enough to have what one said come out sounding so different from what one intended, without people's jumping at odious conclusions?
uva.x030809270	Was that all his cryptic sayings meant?
uva.x030809270	We were all O. K. a minute ago, wern't we?"
uva.x030809270	We wo n't resist if they start in to attack?"
uva.x030809270	Well, and what then?
uva.x030809270	Well, what's it like?"
uva.x030809270	What I want to know is however did you get here?"
uva.x030809270	What did it all mean?
uva.x030809270	What did such vital forgettings indicate unless, indeed, that she had i32 THE MANNEQUIN forgotten herself?
uva.x030809270	What do you mean?"
uva.x030809270	What do you mean?"
uva.x030809270	What do you say to dropping in there this afternoon and seeing what her little io THE MANNEQUIN Promenade amounts to?
uva.x030809270	What do you want with me?"
uva.x030809270	What had happened to her?
uva.x030809270	What happened to the great army of luckless, ailing Elsies whose"bosses"would n't give them a day off to rest up in, when they were"down and out"?
uva.x030809270	What has happened?
uva.x030809270	What things?"
uva.x030809270	What use is she?
uva.x030809270	What was he up to?
uva.x030809270	What was one to make of him?
uva.x030809270	What was the trouble?
uva.x030809270	What was the use of resistance?
uva.x030809270	What when the weather grow too cold?
uva.x030809270	What's in there anyway?"
uva.x030809270	What's that but dead, or its equivalent?"
uva.x030809270	What's the use of your trying to cover up their family skeleton?
uva.x030809270	Who must have discovered what?"
uva.x030809270	Who?
uva.x030809270	Whom have you on yacht, if anyone?
uva.x030809270	Why did n't she summon the crew, have the steward overpowered?
uva.x030809270	Why did n't we stay out?"
uva.x030809270	Why did nobody tell me?"
uva.x030809270	Why must it be tonight, now?
uva.x030809270	Why should n't she"put it up to him"in plain terms of hard cash?
uva.x030809270	Why was he trying to hurry her into a decision?
uva.x030809270	Why, oh, why did n't the woman call for help?
uva.x030809270	Without money, without in- fluence, how could she?
uva.x030809270	Wo n't you kindly wait a minute?"
uva.x030809270	You confess a man did give them to you?"
uva.x030809270	You do n't by any chance stitch on that trash nights, do you?"
uva.x030809270	You do n't like my silhouette?"
uva.x030809270	You out there, steward?"
uva.x030809270	You say she was hurt?"
uva.x030809270	You'll be willing to marry her, now you are free, eh, steward?"
uva.x030809270	You'll relieve my mind, wo n't you?"
uva.x030809270	You've not forgotten?"
uva.x030809270	You?
uva.x030809270	after what he's done?"
uva.x030809270	are tinsel?"
uva.x030809270	but how about the girl herself?"
uva.x030809270	but that would be impossible, would n't it, steward?
uva.x030809270	gone over the side?"
uva.x030809270	help?"
uva.x030809270	him?'
uva.x030809270	homesick, and that sort of thing?"
uva.x030809270	i66 THE MANNEQUIN"Ca n't we prevent them?"
uva.x030809270	in other words, strike?"
uva.x030809270	now?"
uva.x030809270	plurally?"
uva.x030809270	put out of the way?"
uva.x030809270	recline on the job?
uva.x030809270	remember?
uva.x030809270	she'd throw you out?"
uva.x030809270	stars all you ever saw out there, Bess?"

uva.x030809270	that Dennis Tiernan is your father?
uva.x030809270	the old feline?"
uva.x030809270	the stars?"
uva.x030809270	too?"
uva.x030809270	was n't that tow- row last night in his stateroom, and did n't you rush in there to rescue the perishing?"
uva.x030809270	what for?"
uva.x030809270	what was it the steward had called them?
uva.x030809270	what?"
uva.x030809270	whoever could have done it?"
uva.x030809270	why are those terrible creatures here?
uva.x030809270	why would n't one be homesick?
uva.x030809270	without thanking him, could I?"
uva.x030809270	you escaped by way of Dempsey's trick- panel?"

uc1.b4678891	But the seer himself — where was he?
uc1.b4678891	But to- day being Saturday rather complicates matters- I shall want your help to- night. ” “ At what time?
uc1.b4678891	But what did they mean by their allusion to to- night?
uc1.b4678891	But what matter about a letter, Laura, so long as I can see you and speak with you?
uc1.b4678891	But who shall ever dare to say that there is no hope, if he will but give his griefs to the world?
uc1.b4678891	But why do you ask that?
uc1.b4678891	But why do you call it a billiard- room, Mr. Haw?
uc1.b4678891	But would you ease my mind, Mr. Haw, by showing me how this thing is done?
uc1.b4678891	By the way, what was to- day ’s take like?
uc1.b4678891	Can we, Louis? ” “ Most certainly not.
uc1.b4678891	Can you give us any particulars about it?
uc1.b4678891	Can you not find the advertisement, Mr. Wilson?
uc1.b4678891	Come in an ’ have a cocktail, boys. ’ ‘ Did ye see or hear nothing as ye came home last night? ’ says I.
uc1.b4678891	Come to the garden at twelve to- night, else I ’ll never speak to you again, ’ eh?
uc1.b4678891	Conky Jim, the bushranger, ye-apes?
uc1.b4678891	Could it be that they contemplated putting their horrible design into execution on the very first evening of our voyage?
uc1.b4678891	Could it — —?
uc1.b4678891	Could n’t we get a laugh out of it?
uc1.b4678891	Could n’t we send him ofif somewhere and watch him go maybe?
uc1.b4678891	Could n’t we fix up some little joke on some one, eh?
uc1.b4678891	Could n’t you do anything for him?
uc1.b4678891	Could we not keep him here until then?
uc1.b4678891	Could your patients spare you for a few hours? ” “ I have nothing to do to- day.
uc1.b4678891	D0 I know why Tom Donahue is called “ Lucky Tom? ” Yes; I do; and that is more than one in ten of those who call him so can say.
uc1.b4678891	Did that mean that he had learned her secret?
uc1.b4678891	Do many men die alone and miserable down there, with no one to care for them ‘?
uc1.b4678891	Do n’t you see that every word confirmed our previous suspicion?
uc1.b4678891	Do n’t you think we might go this afternoon? ” “ I hardly think that, Laura.
uc1.b4678891	Do you know what that is?
uc1.b4678891	Do you know who it is that has been playing it upon you for months as a parson and a saint?
uc1.b4678891	Do you not think that she may come to forget this man and to love me?
uc1.b4678891	Do you re- member at school how you swore there was a ghost in the long room, and how it turned out to be your own reflection in the mirror?
uc1.b4678891	Do you see, now?
uc1.b4678891	Do you think it will be to- morrow? ” “ I am sure I can not say. ” “ I should so love to see him.
uc1.b4678891	Do you think that Laura would ever have looked twice at him?
uc1.b4678891	Do you think that you would dance attendance upon him if he were a poor man?
uc1.b4678891	Do you think this is a wayside inn or place of pub- lic accommodation?
uc1.b4678891	Do you understand?
uc1.b4678891	Every eye was turned on him as Braxton, the young Irish trooper of constabulary, said, “ What do you make of the horse, Bill?
uc1.b4678891	Gould anything be in better taste?
uc1.b4678891	Has Graube fought the Swabian?
uc1.b4678891	Have you a family? ’'“ I answered that I had not.
uc1.b4678891	Have you been up to see this new- comer?
uc1.b4678891	Have you not seen?
uc1.b4678891	He had built the house him- self, and it suited his partner and him, and what more did they want?
uc1.b4678891	He had it left him by an uncle — eh?
uc1.b4678891	He said it in the most delicate way, but that was really what it amounted to. ” “ Oh, is that all? ” said Laura, with a long sigh of relief.
uc1.b4678891	Holes?
uc1.b4678891	How are you?
uc1.b4678891	How could I be dignified with the crested hen tucked under my arm?
uc1.b4678891	How could he get at them?
uc1.b4678891	How could he manage to lift the burden from them and yet not hinder them in their life- aim?
uc1.b4678891	How could she have hesitated even for a moment?
uc1.b4678891	How could they be the worse for having known you?
uc1.b4678891	How could you expose yourself to such a humiliation?
uc1.b4678891	How did he do it? ” “ I am bound over to secrecy.
uc1.b4678891	How did he make it?
uc1.b4678891	How did you come? ” “ I followed him.
uc1.b4678891	How is he?"
uc1.b4678891	How is the cigar? ” “ Most excellent. ” “ It was rolled in Louisiana in the old slavery days- There is nothing made like them now.
uc1.b4678891	How long do you reckon it will be be- fore they hear of us?
uc1.b4678891	How many families are there? ’ ‘ About three hundred, ’ I_ answered.
uc1.b4678891	How many lights did you see, Dick?
uc1.b4678891	How they live?
uc1.b4678891	How will this do?
uc1.b4678891	How would that do, eh?
uc1.b4678891	However, I suppose that the law must have its own. ” “ And who are they, and how did they come there?
uc1.b4678891	I again ask you, Laura, will you throw in your lot with mine, and help me in the life's work which lies before me?
uc1.b4678891	I am weary of the sight of you. ” “ Can I not soften you in any way? ” he cried.
uc1.b4678891	I calc’late the coroner ’ll be wanted to- morrow. ’ “ What passed in the gulch that night?
uc1.b4678891	I forgot, Bicycle was your horse, was n’t it?
uc1.b4678891	I have seen young Mc- Carthy. ” “ And what did you leam from him? ” “ Nothing. ” “ Could he throw no light? ”'“ None at all.
uc1.b4678891	I have seen young Mc- Carthy. ” “ And what did you leam from him? ” “ Nothing. ” “ Could he throw no light? ”'“ None at all.
uc1.b4678891	I hope I may never look upon your face again. ”'“ You wo n’t give her up to me?
uc1.b4678891	I should be so glad to help you, and I know a little of chemistry. ” “ Do you, indeed? ” said Raflles Haw, raising his eye brows.
uc1.b4678891	I s’pose you ’re game to come yourself?
uc1.b4678891	I want some clothes, master, and my bloomin ’ boots are well nigh off my feet. ” “ How much, Jimmy? ” asks his master, taking up his pen.
uc1.b4678891	I wanted to have atalk with you. ” “ You do n’t mean to say you would tell a lie in order to have a talk with me?
uc1.b4678891	I wonder where they are by this time?
uc1.b4678891	I ’ve got a calendar in the hut as says so. ” “ What if it is?
uc1.b4678891	I/ Vhat were they to do with me?
uc1.b4678891	If my hair would only change color here's a nice little crib all ready for me to step into. ’ “ ‘ Why, what is it, then? ’ I asked.
uc1.b4678891	If she is a sensible girl that ought to inter- est her. ” “ How they live at the mines?
uc1.b4678891	If you must have brandy, could I not send Sarah for some?
uc1.b4678891	In the meantime, Mr. Merryweather, we must put the screen over that dark lantern. ” “ And sit in the dark?"
uc1.b4678891	Is it a bargain?
uc1.b4678891	Is it anything of value?
uc1.b4678891	Is it as rich as they say?
uc1.b4678891	Is it not dreadful about papa? ” 124: THE DOING/ S OF RAFFLES HAW.
uc1.b4678891	Is n't it beastly?
uc1.b4678891	Is n’t it jolly, dear Laura?
uc1.b4678891	It could only be them: who else would camp on the summit of a desolate hill?
uc1.b4678891	It is only three miles, and young Bayliss can be sent over with the basket of pro- visions. ” “ You ’ll come, Jack?
uc1.b4678891	It made me think of the ‘ Ara- bian Nights. ’ ” “ And the man?
uc1.b4678891	It makes me feel quite all- overish. ” “ What on earth put Lord Nelson into your head?
uc1.b4678891	It was a duty to my family, was it not?"
uc1.b4678891	It ’s quite possible. ” “ Oh, Dick, Dick, ” I cried; “ how can you be so blind?
uc1.b4678891	Just my darned folly. ” “ What ’s to harm them?
uc1.b4678891	Mal dc mew-, eh?
uc1.b4678891	Maybe you do n’t know who 82 is?
uc1.b4678891	Might I ask you whether you would be willing to be- come another?"
uc1.b4678891	Might I beg that you would have the goodness to sit down upon one of those boxes, and not to interfere? ”.
uc1.b4678891	Might it not by some remote possibility prove that I was mistaken?
uc1.b4678891	Might not the nature of the injuries reveal something to my medical instincts?
uc1.b4678891	Might you not benefit them and benefit humanity at one stroke?
uc1.b4678891	Mortal, wilt thou choose me?
uc1.b4678891	My revolver was in my hip- pocket; but what was that against so many desperate men?
uc1.b4678891	Nelly?
uc1.b4678891	No doubt the reason is that you have heard that one of your students, Von Schlegel, is arrested for attempting the life of Leopold Strauss?
uc1.b4678891	Not Jack Hawthorne?
uc1.b4678891	Now where did they come from?"
uc1.b4678891	Now, Jack, did any of the pieces you have ever seen shine in the darkness brighter than any fire-fly?
uc1.b4678891	Oh, do n’t let him hurt the baby! ” “ W110 is it?
uc1.b4678891	One of you is- quite trouble enough. ” “ One of us?
uc1.b4678891	Or was it possible that some blacker and more sinister design lay beneath his strange doings?
uc1.b4678891	Or was it to produce a thing of beauty?
uc1.b4678891	Pretty toys, are they not?
uc1.b4678891	Rain?
uc1.b4678891	Shall I do one now?
uc1.b4678891	She lives with you, of course?
uc1.b4678891	She was a leaky tub, but what then"?
uc1.b4678891	She wore a blue dress when I saw her, with astrakhan about her neck and cuffs?
uc1.b4678891	Should I demand a few minutes ’ conversation with the latter in his own cabin, and reveal it all?
uc1.b4678891	Should I stand up now and denounce them before both passengers and captain?
uc1.b4678891	Speak, sir, ” he added, addressing me: “ who and what are you? ” I felt that my time had come.
uc1.b4678891	Suddenly he stopped opposite Dick,'and laid his hand upon his shoulder: “ I say, Dick, could we get to Sasassa Valley before sun- rise?
uc1.b4678891	Suppose we write him a note — send it him to- night, you know. ”'“ Well, what then?
uc1.b4678891	T ‘ Yes, the leeward side is best. ” “ I wonder if the trigger will act?
uc1.b4678891	Tell me, Boss, what would you say to a girl like that? ” “ I/ Vhy, talk about what would interest her, ” said his companion.
uc1.b4678891	Tell me, Nelly, are you fond of that fool of a medical student?
uc1.b4678891	That ’s about my figure, ai n’t it?
uc1.b4678891	The Squire has very handsomely given fifty pounds. ’ ”_ “ ‘ Well, ’ said he, ‘ how about the poor folk?
uc1.b4678891	The four pounds a week was a lure which must draw him, and what was it to them, who'ere playing for thousands?
uc1.b4678891	The question now was, What means were to be taken to attack the murderers?
uc1.b4678891	Then the voice began again — “ They ’ll hear the drop of the trigger, wo n’t they? ” “ It does n’t matter.
uc1.b4678891	There are two things I have to do if I meet him. ” “ What ’s that?
uc1.b4678891	There is no alternative. ” “ But who is to stand out?
uc1.b4678891	There is no sign of any other weapon. ” “ And the murderer?"
uc1.b4678891	There will be some excitement among those we have left behind, wo n’t there?
uc1.b4678891	There ’s nothin’ deadly in all that, is there?
uc1.b4678891	There, sirs, I think you ’ll own as that ’s a curious story. ”_ “ And what became of Scott? ” asked Jack Sin- clair.'
uc1.b4678891	They look a pair of beauties, do n’t they?"
uc1.b4678891	They look small, do they not?
uc1.b4678891	They must have gone up to the hall very early?
uc1.b4678891	They really seem to move and twitter, do n’t they? ” “ They are perfect.
uc1.b4678891	They say his hanging guard is perfection. ” “ And what else is the news among the students? ” asked Strauss.
uc1.b4678891	This business at Coburg Square is serious. ” “ Why serious?"
uc1.b4678891	To- night?
uc1.b4678891	VV hat do men know of Jack Braxton, the private of police?
uc1.b4678891	VVhy, too, shouldthere be that bright smile of inelfable happiness and triumph, which death itself had not had power to banish from his dusky face?
uc1.b4678891	W'hy do you do this thing?
uc1.b4678891	W'hy should he do or say what might disturb their present happy relations?
uc1.b4678891	WOn’t you take a seat?
uc1.b4678891	WVe must not allow our sym- pathies to be insular, must we?
uc1.b4678891	Was I in Mr. Dimidofl"s?
uc1.b4678891	Was it merely that he wished to spy and prowl, or did he intend to call up the master and enter into some discussion as to his wrongs?
uc1.b4678891	Was it my fancy that there was a peculiar noise in the street a noise as of many feet treading softly?
uc1.b4678891	Was it that I loved this Muscovite girl?
uc1.b4678891	Was it to earn money?
uc1.b4678891	Was there any other point?
uc1.b4678891	Was there no member of it spirited enough to make away with his sweetheart, or take some other steps calculated to establish a hereditary spectre?
uc1.b4678891	We dine 1‘-éte-(1-téte,'but the others assemble after- ward. ” “ Mr. Dimidoff, I presume? ” said I.
uc1.b4678891	We have still time to take a train to Hereford and see him to- night?
uc1.b4678891	We ’d have something to chaff him on for a month to come, eh?
uc1.b4678891	Weigh all this, and then which among you will throw'the first stone at the blushing little prize of the Derby Sweep ”?
uc1.b4678891	Well, by a friend?
uc1.b4678891	Well, then, perhaps you would care to have a look round?

uc1.b4678891	What could it be?
uc1.b4678891	What crime was to be done, then, and who was to do it?
uc1.b4678891	What day of the month?
uc1.b4678891	What did it all mean?

uc1.b4678891	“ A Juryman: Did you see_ nothing that aroused your suspicion when you returned on hearing the cry, and found your father fatally injured?
uc1.b4678891	“ A ghost you said, did n’t you?
uc1.b4678891	“ A light?
uc1.b4678891	“ ALL aboard?
uc1.b4678891	“ Ai n’t it playing it rather low on the girl?
uc1.b4678891	“ An excuse?
uc1.b4678891	“ An old friend of yours. ” “ What I from India ‘?
uc1.b4678891	“ And leave your case unfinished? ” “ No, finished. ” “ But the mystery?
uc1.b4678891	“ And leave your case unfinished? ” “ No, finished. ” “ But the mystery?
uc1.b4678891	“ And rough on old Bones?
uc1.b4678891	“ And the missus, ’ ow is she?
uc1.b4678891	“ And what is the breadth of the Clyde below Greenock?
uc1.b4678891	“ And ’ ow are you, sir?
uc1.b4678891	“ Any news from Buckhurst? ” asked Abe, rising and proceeding to extract their supper from the pot.
uc1.b4678891	“ Anything more 1?
uc1.b4678891	“ Are the store- rooms on a level with or under- neath the state- cabins?
uc1.b4678891	“ Are they there?
uc1.b4678891	“ Are you engaged to Lieutenant Hawthorne?
uc1.b4678891	“ Are you fonder of him than of me?
uc1.b4678891	“ Are you going in the direction of the new hall? ” he asked.
uc1.b4678891	“ At half wages, in fact. ” “ Yes. ” “ What is he like, this Vincent Spaulding?
uc1.b4678891	“ But how could you guess what the motive was?
uc1.b4678891	“ But suppose a man brought explosives aboard with him?
uc1.b4678891	“ But, good heavens, sir, ” stammered Rupert Garra- weg, “ have you not heard?
uc1.b4678891	“ By what right do you prevent us?
uc1.b4678891	“ Cain was damned! ” I cried, “ and he slew but one; would you have the blood of two hundred upon your souls?
uc1.b4678891	“ Can anybody make a suggestion?
uc1.b4678891	“ Can you tell me, sir, ” he said, “ when this ship will be heard of again?
uc1.b4678891	“ Come, boys, what shall it be — hanging, drowning, or shooting?
uc1.b4678891	“ Could I not assist you_ in any way? ” suggested Rob- ert, as they sat together after luncheon in the smoking- room.
uc1.b4678891	“ Could you oblige me with a fusee, Lieutenant? ” he asked.
uc1.b4678891	“ Could you, Nell?
uc1.b4678891	“ Deutsch?
uc1.b4678891	“ Did n’t you get my letter at Gibraltar?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Do I entirely understand you?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do n’t you miss a thing that was there before'1?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do n’t you see what it is? ” “ Bock- salt!
uc1.b4678891	“ Do n’t you think you are rather underrating them? ” he said.
uc1.b4678891	“ Do n’t you, like me?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do they often die like that?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do you always call him Jack?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do you imagine that I would injure her?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do you mean to say that we are exactly equal in your eyes?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do you mind moving out of that, sir?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do you really think that it is your sister that I care for?
uc1.b4678891	“ Do you think, Nell, ” said Jack, “ that you could ever care for me enough to share my lot forever?
uc1.b4678891	“ Englishmen always travel for pleasure, do n’t they?
uc1.b4678891	“ Francais?
uc1.b4678891	“ Game for another ten- mile walk, old fellow ‘?
uc1.b4678891	“ Has your great Roman picture gone to London? ” “ I have not finished it yet. ” “ But I know that you are a quick worker.
uc1.b4678891	“ Have a cigar?
uc1.b4678891	“ Have any orders been made in Birmingham con- cerning it?
uc1.b4678891	“ Have n’t men enough, ” said Bob; “ anything else?
uc1.b4678891	“ Have you an order to see him in prison? ” “ Yes, but only for you and me. ” “ Then I shall reconsider my resolution about going out.
uc1.b4678891	“ Have you ever observed that his ears are pierced for earrings? ” “ Yes, sir.
uc1.b4678891	“ Have you heard anything of the case?
uc1.b4678891	“ Have you heard from Hector? ” “ Oh, yes.
uc1.b4678891	“ He is still with you?
uc1.b4678891	“ He ’s Maloney, ” said the warder, “ him that turned Queen ’s evidence after the murders at Blue- mansdyke. ”- “ You d0n’t say so?

uc1.b4678891	“ Hollol ” I cried, “ do n’t you see any change in that circle since yesterday? ” “ What d’ye mean?
uc1.b4678891	“ Hollol ” I cried, “ do n’t you see any change in that circle since yesterday? ” “ What d’ye mean?
uc1.b4678891	“ How in the world is it to end"?
uc1.b4678891	“ How is the glass?
uc1.b4678891	“ How is this, Laura?
uc1.b4678891	“ How long are you going to keep it up?
uc1.b4678891	“ How ’s this? ” I said.
uc1.b4678891	“ How ’s your chest? ” I asked, putting on my pro- fessional air.
uc1.b4678891	“ How'is he?
uc1.b4678891	“ I am a man from Archangel, ” he said, simply: “ a Russian man. ” “ What is your name?
uc1.b4678891	“ I hear it is your own de- sign, every bit of it, is n’t it?
uc1.b4678891	“ I suppose they did n’t give such a lnatter- of- fact fellow as you a sight of their charms? ” said Tom, from the bunk.
uc1.b4678891	“ I ’m sure I do n’t know. ” “ Do you like me the same way you like Lord Nelson, Nell?
uc1.b4678891	“ If you are indeed Gustave Berger, ” said Pe- trokine, “ who is this?
uc1.b4678891	“ If you ’ll do me a kindness when you ’re up in town, I ’d be obliged. ” “ What is it?
uc1.b4678891	“ Is it not hor- rible?
uc1.b4678891	“ Is that you, Hammond? ” said a voice which I seemed to recognize.
uc1.b4678891	“ Is there anyone dying now?
uc1.b4678891	“ Is this here a free minin ’ camp, or is it a darned Sunday- school ’?
uc1.b4678891	“ Let me see it. ” “ Is no one looking?
uc1.b4678891	“ Lived there till he died. ” “ What did he die of?
uc1.b4678891	“ Look here, Robert, what do you call this?
uc1.b4678891	“ Made your pile?
uc1.b4678891	“ May I ask what he has done? ” “ I went up to him by appointment this morning.
uc1.b4678891	“ May'I write a check at once? ” said Rafiles Haw.
uc1.b4678891	“ Mining, I suppose? ” says he.'
uc1.b4678891	“ Next time, little girl. ” “ Next time be it, Hector. ” “ And nothing can part us?"
uc1.b4678891	“ No, nor that either. ” “ The weather is fine, ” I said; “ why should we not be heard of at our destination?
uc1.b4678891	“ Nothing else to report, I suppose, warder?
uc1.b4678891	“ Nothing. ” “ In this whole world?
uc1.b4678891	“ Now, Paul Ivanovitch, ” said he, “ what have you to say before you go?
uc1.b4678891	“ Now, where would you like to smoke your cigar?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Of course I do, John sounds so stiff. ” “ Oh, it does, does it ‘?
uc1.b4678891	“ Oh, that ’s it, is it?
uc1.b4678891	“ People have been burned for less, have they not? ” cried Raffles Haw, laughing heartily.
uc1.b4678891	“ Perhaps you were engaged in the building of it? ” “ Yes, I had a hand in it. ” “ They say that it is a wonderful place inside.
uc1.b4678891	“ Road?
uc1.b4678891	“ Say, George, ” he said, “ what ’s become of Josiah Mapleton?
uc1.b4678891	“ She ’ll want more brains than ever Bones had in his skull, you bet. ” “ Who ’s seen Bones to- day?
uc1.b4678891	“ Should you like very much to go out?
uc1.b4678891	“ Steward, ” said Dick, “ are there any other gentle- men about?
uc1.b4678891	“ Supposing that your supposition is correct, who would send him such quan- tities of gold, and where could it come from?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Tell her stories of what you have seen in the mines, and that sort of thing. ” “ Eh?
uc1.b4678891	“ The Coroner: I understand that the cry of ‘ Coose ’ was a common signal between you and your father?
uc1.b4678891	“ The Coroner: What do you mean?
uc1.b4678891	“ The Sasassa Valley?
uc1.b4678891	“ The effect is rather startling, is it not?
uc1.b4678891	“ The murder was done with it. ” “ I see no marks. ” “ There are none. ” “ How do you know, then?
uc1.b4678891	“ The sign of the-society I ” said Petrokine; “ and yet we are all present; who can it be?
uc1.b4678891	“ Then is it not clear?
uc1.b4678891	“ There are two of them, and I do n’t know which is the worse. ”'“ What on earth are they doing? ” asked Robert.
uc1.b4678891	“ There! ” he said, putting his crystal on the table; “ what would you say was a fair price for that?
uc1.b4678891	“ There, Dick,"I said, as I concluded, “ what do you think of that?
uc1.b4678891	“ Think what ’s all right?
uc1.b4678891	“ Travelling for pleasure, perhaps?
uc1.b4678891	“ Wake up, Bob I ” “ What the deuce is the row ‘?
uc1.b4678891	“ Watson, I think you know Mr. Jones, of Scotland Yard?
uc1.b4678891	“ We have had several warnings that an attempt might be made upon it. ” “ Your French gold? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, Maloney, ” he said, “ how long are you go- ing to honor us with your society?
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, Robert, ” he began, “ I suppose that as usual you have spent your morning plotting against your father?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, how are we to go, Nell?
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, pretend the note is from her, d’ye see?
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, what do you think now? ” I gasped, as I turned toward Dick.
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, what do you think of him now? ” asked Rob- ert, as they watched his black figure against the white snow.
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, what d’ye think?
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, what is it?
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, what shall I say?
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, ” he said, after the servants were gone, “ what ’s in the wind now?'
uc1.b4678891	“ Well, ” he said, in a slightly peevish voice, “ have n’t you got any supper?
uc1.b4678891	“ What are we to do with it ‘?
uc1.b4678891	“ What are you going to do, then? ” I asked.
uc1.b4678891	“ What country do you come from ‘?
uc1.b4678891	“ What day ’s this? ” “ Friday, ai n’t it? ” “ No, not that.
uc1.b4678891	“ What day ’s this? ” “ Friday, ai n’t it? ” “ No, not that.
uc1.b4678891	“ What do you mean, Nell? ” asked my cousin, looking up at me in surprise.
uc1.b4678891	“ What do you mean, father?
uc1.b4678891	“ What do you think, Watson?
uc1.b4678891	“ What do- you mean by ‘ all, ’ Nell? ” No answer.
uc1.b4678891	“ What d’ye see, Jack? ” he shouted; for the trooper had reached the topmost branch by this time, and was taking a survey of the country.
uc1.b4678891	“ What have I done? ” gasped Baumgarten, falling back into his chair.
uc1.b4678891	“ What is it to you whether they are drowned or not?
uc1.b4678891	“ What on earth was it? ” asked the young oflicer, his eyes travelling from the bank- note to his fiancée.
uc1.b4678891	“ What secret?
uc1.b4678891	“ What shall we do to- day?
uc1.b4678891	“ What shall we do with him? ” asked Haw.
uc1.b4678891	“ What were we looking up, again?
uc1.b4678891	“ What ’s that? ” “ Darned if I know. ” The two men made for the door and peered out earnestly into the darkness.
uc1.b4678891	“ What ’s the news, Nick?
uc1.b4678891	“ What ’s the row now?
uc1.b4678891	“ What ’s up?
uc1.b4678891	“ What'is it to me if he does give his servant the sack?
uc1.b4678891	“ When are you going to do it? ” I asked, rever- entially.
uc1.b4678891	“ Where is it going to? ” “ Do n’t know.
uc1.b4678891	“ Where shall we send him?
uc1.b4678891	“ Whereaway, Dick, on such a night as this? ” said I.
uc1.b4678891	“ Who could get us such a tning?
uc1.b4678891	“ Who drove us from Odessa by his false tongue and his double face?
uc1.b4678891	“ Who was the criminal, then? ” “ The gentleman I describe. ” “ But who is he?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Who was the criminal, then? ” “ The gentleman I describe. ” “ But who is he?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Who would have thought that little Nell would have developed into a woman?
uc1.b4678891	“ Who ’s goin’ to write the letter? ” “ Write it yourself, Jim, ” said Shamus.
uc1.b4678891	“ Why do n’t you go and ask Elsie? ” cried I in despair.
uc1.b4678891	“ Why on earth could n’t you say so at once"?
uc1.b4678891	“ Why should I quarrel with him?
uc1.b4678891	“ Why, mate, ” he continued, “ if we did knock up agin these all-fired varmin, ye do n’t suppose you and I would go for them?
uc1.b4678891	“ Why, what is it?
uc1.b4678891	“ Why, what ’s come over him?
uc1.b4678891	“ Why, where ’s Hector?"
uc1.b4678891	“ Wo n’t it be jolly? ” I cried.
uc1.b4678891	“ Wot did I say to the young gent wot spoke to me in the bar of the Lame Dog?
uc1.b4678891	“ Would you care to see one? ” “ Oh, immensely. ” “ I will have one sent down.
uc1.b4678891	“ Would you put us on the footing of beggars?
uc1.b4678891	“ Ye fool! ” growled another, “ hain’t we got a man as is worth any three parsons, and can splash texts around like clay out o ’ a cradle?
uc1.b4678891	“ Yes; they are there. ” “ How many?
uc1.b4678891	“ You are no great admirer of wealth then? ” he said.
uc1.b4678891	“ You do n’t mean to say that you carry ghosts about in bags? ” I remarked, with difiidence.
uc1.b4678891	“ You got ashore all right, then? ” “ Yes, ” he answered, in good English.
uc1.b4678891	“ You had my note?
uc1.b4678891	“ ‘ Do you mean that it disappeared before you went for help?
uc1.b4678891	“ ‘ Have you never heard of the League of the Red- headed Men? ’ he asked, with his eyes open.
uc1.b4678891	” I demanded of my fellow- clerk; “ has he got scent of our Nicolaieff escapade, or what is it?
uc1.b4678891	” What indeed?
uc1.b4678891	” he said, in his kindly way, “ what ’s put you about, Hammond?
uc1.b4678891	” said the fat lady at my side, “ you do n’t really think they would blow up a ship?
uc1.b4678891	” “ Espa- gnol?
uc1.b4678891	” “ I am sure it will. ” “ We were to let it off at ten, were we not?
uc1.b4678891	” “ It varies much, ” I replied; “ on an average about eighty yards. ” “ How many men does she carry?
uc1.b4678891	” “ Oh, yes, sir; I have only just left him. ” “ And has your business been attended to in your absence? ” “ Nothing to complain of, sir.
uc1.b4678891	” “ The rock- salt?
uc1.b4678891	” “ Was it suicide, sir? — was it suicide? ” broke in the policeman, as Robert put the note in his pocket.
uc1.b4678891	” “ Was it suicide, sir? — was it suicide? ” broke in the policeman, as Robert put the note in his pocket.
uc1.b4678891	” “ Yes, I have just left him. ” “ Is he a married man — this Mr. Raflles Haw? ” “ No, he is a bachelor.
uc1.b4678891	” “ Yes, they did come up rather early. ” “ What is the matter with you, Raflles?

uva.x001560099	And about this enlisting?
uva.x001560099	And are you not ashamed?
uva.x001560099	And did the prophecy ever come true?
uva.x001560099	And have you been here long?
uva.x001560099	And how do you propose to do that? uva.x001560099 And how do you propose to keep her?"
uva.x001560099	And if he has? uva.x001560099 And it was with that loan he paid his debts?"
uva.x001560099	And the key was still on its nail?
uva.x001560099	And the letter in which you said you had stolen the cup?
uva.x001560099	And the money for your debts?
uva.x001560099	And the second time?
uva.x001560099	And what about his sister? uva.x001560099 And what about this story of Mrs Jeal?"
uva.x001560099	And what did you do?
uva.x001560099	And what has led you to such a happy conclusion?
uva.x001560099	And what is your reason, father?
uva.x001560099	And when he has caught me in his trap, Sybil?
uva.x001560099	And who else will be at your house- warming?
uva.x001560099	And you, Sir Frank?
uva.x001560099	And you, Sybil?
uva.x001560099	And your sister?
uva.x001560099	Are you not aware that everyone in Colester is talk- ing of your crime?
uva.x001560099	Are you sure you can talk like that, my lady?
uva.x001560099	But for what, Mrs Gabriel?
uva.x001560099	But is it necessary to go over all the old ground? uva.x001560099 But tell me your opinion of this case?"
uva.x001560099	But what did he say?
uva.x001560099	But what does he mean by denying that he lent you the money?
uva.x001560099	But what good will that do?
uva.x001560099	But what is to be done? uva.x001560099 But who is Pratt?"
uva.x001560099	But why — who is Pratt?
uva.x001560099	By the way,said Leo, who had been meditating,"why has Mr Pratt settled in these parts?

uva.x001560099	Dear me, Mr Pratt, what do you mean? uva.x001560099 Did I not say it was incredible that a wealthy man should come down to pass his days in a dull place like Colester?

uva.x001560099	Does he not do so?
uva.x001560099	For what reason, Miss Tempest?
uva.x001560099	From Hale? uva.x001560099 Has he a tattooed star on his cheek just under the cheek bone?"

uva.x001560099	How was I dressed?
uva.x001560099	I have no intention of marrying anyone but Sybil,said Leo, dryly;"but did you see how Hale backed out of his false position?"
uva.x001560099	I have your promise to give me the letter as it is?
uva.x001560099	I hope you have well con- sidered what you are doing?
uva.x001560099	I suppose there is no chance of his being captured?
uva.x001560099	I suppose you are a prosperous community on the whole?
uva.x001560099	I suppose,he was addressing Raston,"that you send copies of these to your friends?"
uva.x001560099	I won- der who it was could have impersonated you? uva.x001560099 I wonder why he has changed so, Sybil?
uva.x001560099	If I do, will you give me the letter?
uva.x001560099	Indeed? uva.x001560099 Is Mr Pratt within?"
uva.x001560099	Is Pratt my father?
uva.x001560099	Is it a serious matter?
uva.x001560099	Is it any use your sitting there like a fool? uva.x001560099 Is it likely that in these days a man would pay such a large sum otherwise than by checque?
uva.x001560099	Is it not Balzac who says the clergy are all in black because they see the worst 150 The Pagan's Cup side of human nature? uva.x001560099 Is she very ill, Raston?"
uva.x001560099	Is that the insane girl?
uva.x001560099	Is that you, Pearl?
uva.x001560099	Is the description accurate, vicar?
uva.x001560099	Is the girl really and truly ill?
uva.x001560099	Is there anyone to object?
uva.x001560099	Is this a joke, mother?
uva.x001560099	Is this my son?
uva.x001560099	Leo,said Pratt in an agitated tone,"surely you would not have brought the man here to get me into trouble?"
uva.x001560099	Let me go, Raston; do n't you hear what he says?
uva.x001560099	Marton?
uva.x001560099	Mrs Gabriel?
uva.x001560099	My dear young lady,said Pratt, with a twinkle,"do you think that I flatter myself that a battered old man like myself is your choice?
uva.x001560099	No?
uva.x001560099	Nothing wrong, I trust?
uva.x001560099	Oh, Frank, did you do that?
uva.x001560099	Oh, why does n't the Master take His cup into the bright sunshine where it could grow warm and rejoice in the glory of day? uva.x001560099 Pearl is not with you?"
uva.x001560099	Pratt?
uva.x001560099	Shall I go?
uva.x001560099	She could not have gone out last night to the chapel, doctor?
uva.x001560099	She told you that? uva.x001560099 Should this dangerous woman go free to be a pest to society?"
uva.x001560099	Suppose you should be the long- lost son of Lord Kilspindie?
uva.x001560099	The cup was on the altar when you left the church last night?
uva.x001560099	The man is a gentleman, I suppose, Raston?
uva.x001560099	The money, Hale? uva.x001560099 Then where did he get so large a sum?"
uva.x001560099	Then why do you do wrong? uva.x001560099 Then you did n't steal the cup?"
uva.x001560099	Then you do n't think, Mr Tempest, that a woman can have had anything to do with the matter?
uva.x001560099	There is no bad news, I trust?
uva.x001560099	To what?
uva.x001560099	Unless I give up Sybil and marry his sister?
uva.x001560099	Very gladly,said Leo, heartily;"but what about Pratt?"
uva.x001560099	Was the church door locked?
uva.x001560099	Well,Leo asked eagerly,"and what does my — what does Pratt say?"
uva.x001560099	Well?
uva.x001560099	Were you prejudiced against him by Mrs Ga- briel?
uva.x001560099	What angels, Pearl?
uva.x001560099	What are you doing here, Leo?
uva.x001560099	What are you going to do?
uva.x001560099	What brings you here?
uva.x001560099	What can we do with the newspapers, darling?
uva.x001560099	What crime?
uva.x001560099	What cup?
uva.x001560099	What do you know? uva.x001560099 What do you mean?"
uva.x001560099	What do you think?
uva.x001560099	What does Pratt mean?
uva.x001560099	What does she intend to do now?
uva.x001560099	What for? uva.x001560099 What good would that do, my dear?
uva.x001560099	What have you been doing?
uva.x001560099	What have you heard?
uva.x001560099	What influence could I bring to bear towards helping a criminal?
uva.x001560099	What is it, Pearl?
uva.x001560099	What is it, Sybil?
uva.x001560099	What is it?
uva.x001560099	What is that?
uva.x001560099	What is the matter?
uva.x001560099	What matter?
uva.x001560099	What the devil is the matter?
uva.x001560099	What's the matter with her now?
uva.x001560099	What's the matter, Raston?
uva.x001560099	What, indeed?
uva.x001560099	What,he said,"are you the man with the bow- string, Raston?
uva.x001560099	When are you going away, Leo?
uva.x001560099	When are you going away?
uva.x001560099	When did you leave the church last night, Barker?
uva.x001560099	When will you call?
uva.x001560099	Who could help being all right in this jolly weather? uva.x001560099 Who dares to say such a thing about me?"
uva.x001560099	Who is Mar- ton?
uva.x001560099	Who is going to lend you the money meantime?
uva.x001560099	Who is the inconvenient third, Miss Peggy? uva.x001560099 Who is this young gentleman?"
uva.x001560099	Who is to pay four hundred pounds for it?
uva.x001560099	Who told you so?
uva.x001560099	Who? uva.x001560099 Why all this anxiety, Mrs Jeal?"
uva.x001560099	Why are you behaving like this, woman?
uva.x001560099	Why did she do that?
uva.x001560099	Why did you come her?
uva.x001560099	Why did you lend it to me in gold?
uva.x001560099	Why did you tell that lie about my having pawned the cup?
uva.x001560099	Why do n't you speak to her?
uva.x001560099	Why do you call him a rascal?
uva.x001560099	Why do you think so?
uva.x001560099	Why do you want me to confess a crime of which I am not guilty? uva.x001560099 Why is he going away?"
uva.x001560099	Why not?
uva.x001560099	Why not?
uva.x001560099	Why should Mr Haverleigh be such a fool? uva.x001560099 Why should he?"
uva.x001560099	Why will you tell these lies?
uva.x001560099	Why, Hale, you do n't believe he stole the cup?
uva.x001560099	Why, then, did He make Pearl ill if He loved her? uva.x001560099 Will one of you gentlemen go to my cottage,"she said,"and open the third drawer in the chest of drawers in my bedroom standing opposite to the door?
uva.x001560099	Will you ask me, Mr Pratt?
uva.x001560099	Will you come with me, Mr Pratt?
uva.x001560099	Will you dare to speak again as you have done?
uva.x001560099	Will you speak?
uva.x001560099	With money?
uva.x001560099	Wo n't you speak to Raston?
uva.x001560099	Woman, is this true?
uva.x001560099	Would n't a girl have done?
uva.x001560099	You are a native of these parts, Mr Raston?
uva.x001560099	You are a thief as well, are you not? uva.x001560099 You are going to see Mrs Gabriel?"
uva.x001560099	You are unwell, Mr Pratt?
uva.x001560099	You have known him for many years, mother?
uva.x001560099	You have made up your mind to that?
uva.x001560099	You intend that he shall be your heir, then?
uva.x001560099	You know all about the case?
uva.x001560099	You lent me three hundred pounds?
uva.x001560099	You locked the chapel up last night?
uva.x001560099	You seem to have been everywhere, Mr Pratt?
uva.x001560099	You want me to surrender Sybil so that you may marry her, and to make your sister my wife? uva.x001560099 You will answer truthfully, I hope?"
uva.x001560099	You wish me to marry,said he; then, after a pause, he proceeded sarcastically,"And I suppose you have chosen me a wife?"
uva.x001560099	Your family name is Grant, then, my lord?
uva.x001560099	Your mother?
uva.x001560099	Your position should be in the gutter, A New Complication 207Did n't I say there was no blood of mine in your veins?"
uva.x001560099	178 The Pagan's Cup"Dies it make Mr Haverleigh out a villain?"
uva.x001560099	232 The Pagan's Cup"No?
uva.x001560099	A Modern Arcadia ir"Barker, Barker?
uva.x001560099	Adam?
uva.x001560099	After doing all this, do you think I'll give it up?
uva.x001560099	And how are you, Mr Pratt?"
uva.x001560099	And how did I know the man would be such a scoun- drel?
uva.x001560099	And if he did not get the key, how could he have forced himself through that small window?"
uva.x001560099	And now I should like to 136 The Pagan's Cup know what you mean by denying that you lent me the three hundred pounds?"
uva.x001560099	And the cup?"
uva.x001560099	And what would life be without Sybil?
uva.x001560099	And where will you get the money?"
uva.x001560099	And why did he take away the Holy Grail which Pearl watched over so carefully?"
uva.x001560099	Are you going to take this money?"
uva.x001560099	Are you in a position to be so?
uva.x001560099	Are you not, Frank?"
uva.x001560099	Are you sure she will not take it away, Mr Raston?"
uva.x001560099	But Mrs Gabriel, why should she?"
uva.x001560099	But about this loss, sir?"
uva.x001560099	But do n't you think it would be better to get Mr Pratt to see your mother and induce her to give you the money than take it from Sir Frank?"
uva.x001560099	But how does all this benefit me?"
uva.x001560099	But is it not enough to make an honest man's blood boil to be placed in such a position?
uva.x001560099	But what am I to do?"
uva.x001560099	But what story can she have to tell about you, dear?"
uva.x001560099	But yourself, Mrs Jeal?"
uva.x001560099	By 202 The Pagan's Cup the way, Haverleigh, has that fool of a detective gone?"
uva.x001560099	By the way, James, has Haverleigh turned up yet?"
uva.x001560099	By the way, has his jackall gone also?"
uva.x001560099	By the way, he is the individual who gave your church this celebrated cup?"
uva.x001560099	By the way, who is this Mr Pratt?"
uva.x001560099	By the way,"as Adam entered,"I see he has got back?"
uva.x001560099	Can you tell me who'S.17 is, Mr Tempest?"
uva.x001560099	Did n't I, Adam?"
uva.x001560099	Did the man give your name?"
uva.x001560099	Did you hear him leave?"
uva.x001560099	Did you not hear him say that he was going abroad with his sister?
uva.x001560099	Did you see the angels, Miss Sybil?"
uva.x001560099	Did you take it?"
uva.x001560099	Do n't you think you had better see my father?"
uva.x001560099	Do you know him, Marton?"
uva.x001560099	Do you not owe me some- thing?"
uva.x001560099	Do you not remember the letter he wrote to Marton saying he had stolen the cup and again had it in his possession?"
uva.x001560099	Do you think she may have stolen this cup herself, and have invented this wild story to account for the loss?
uva.x001560099	Do you think that I can go on listening to your angry words without a protest?
uva.x001560099	Do you think the vicar will consent to the marriage?"
uva.x001560099	Does he believe I did this vile thing?"
uva.x001560099	Has he left anything at your place, Raston?"
uva.x001560099	Has her father discovered anything bad about me?"
uva.x001560099	Have I not fed and clothed and educated you?"
uva.x001560099	Have I your per- mission?"
uva.x001560099	Have you a photograph of him?"
uva.x001560099	Have you chosen him a wife also?"
uva.x001560099	Have you had to put on mourning for this Haverleigh?"
uva.x001560099	Have you noticed that until we found out this quiet spot Mrs Gabriel or Sir Frank and his sister always joined us?"
uva.x001560099	Haverleigh?"
uva.x001560099	He had some power over her —"A Story of the Past 271"And what is the power?"
uva.x001560099	He is liked, is he not, Leo?"
uva.x001560099	How can anyone who knows me believe me guilty of so terrible a crime?
uva.x001560099	How can you stand there and deny your guilt?"
uva.x001560099	How could he have got the key?
uva.x001560099	How dare you accuse me of such a crime?"
uva.x001560099	How dare you suggest such a thing?
uva.x001560099	How do we know that Mr Haverleigh has not been working together with Tony Angel?
uva.x001560099	How do you do, Mrs Jeal?"
uva.x001560099	How do you know Pratt has gone?"
uva.x001560099	How much did you sell the cup for?"
uva.x001560099	How the devil did you manage to find out my retreat?
uva.x001560099	How was it he appeared so unexpectedly?"
uva.x001560099	I can keep this paper, Mr Marton?
uva.x001560099	I do n't suppose she has any enmity against Haverleigh?"
uva.x001560099	I should like to know, however, how it was that Pratt claimed me as a son?"
uva.x001560099	I suppose the telegraph- office is closed?"
uva.x001560099	I suppose you mean Lord Kilspindie?"
uva.x001560099	If you can spare me for a few days, Mr Tempest, I will go to London and see Marton?"
uva.x001560099	If you did not intend to behave as a woman should, why, in Heaven's name, did you not leave me to be dependent on 34 The Pagan's Cup strangers?
uva.x001560099	Is it not about time that you stopped setting your wits against mine?
uva.x001560099	Is it not beautiful?"
uva.x001560099	Is it not better for me to be fighting for my country than staying here eating the bread of idle- ness?
uva.x001560099	Is that not so?"
uva.x001560099	Is this the conduct of a minister of the Gospel?"
uva.x001560099	It would take half my year's stipend to buy Ibis!"?
uva.x001560099	Miss Tem- pest will take charge of Pearl, and —""What have I to do with all this?"
uva.x001560099	Moreover, he had a kind of instinc- tive feeling that Marton had come to proclaim the innocence of Leo, else why should he come at all?
uva.x001560099	Now, he must have got the money from somewhere, and who would trust him?"
uva.x001560099	Pearl?"
uva.x001560099	Perhaps I might have yielded, and then what would have happened?
uva.x001560099	Pratt has the cup, why should you not be the child?
uva.x001560099	Raston?"
uva.x001560099	Surely, Marton, you do not think he knew anything of Pratt's doings?"
uva.x001560099	Then what I have heard is true?"
uva.x001560099	Then why wo n't your mother consent?"
uva.x001560099	Then, after a 252 The Pagan's Cup pause, Mrs Jeal asked,"About that gentleman at your place, miss — will he stay long?"
uva.x001560099	Then, as Leo walked down the road beside her, back to the castle, she added,"I understand that you are engaged, Leo, and without my consent?"
uva.x001560099	This Leo Haverleigh?
uva.x001560099	This Leo Haverleigh?
uva.x001560099	To the great God, who maketh the heart joyful,'"he said, then added dubiously,"Does that refer to a pagan god, or to the Maker of all things?"
uva.x001560099	Trouble 77"You are fond of photography, Raston?"
uva.x001560099	Was he very angry?"
uva.x001560099	Was it design or acci- dent that I found you there?
uva.x001560099	Well, Mr Haverleigh, so Pratt has gone?"
uva.x001560099	Well?"
uva.x001560099	What about him?"
uva.x001560099	What about him?"
uva.x001560099	What about the wedding- day?"
uva.x001560099	What could she have done to give a man like Pratt — he could not call him father — a power over her?
uva.x001560099	What did you say?"
uva.x001560099	What do you mean?"
uva.x001560099	What do you mean?''
uva.x001560099	What explanation have you for me?"
uva.x001560099	What is it?"
uva.x001560099	What is the statement?"
uva.x001560099	What is this cup, dear Mr Pratt?"
uva.x001560099	What is to be done now?"
uva.x001560099	What is to be done?"
uva.x001560099	What is up now?"
uva.x001560099	What right have you to be extravagant?
uva.x001560099	What was the use, thought Mrs Bathurst, of suggesting a wife to a man who knew so well how to dispense with one?
uva.x001560099	What were you doing there if it was not Haverleigh's Defence 109 to steal?
uva.x001560099	What will you do?"
uva.x001560099	What would her father say should he ever come to know that she had paid such a visit?"
uva.x001560099	What would your father say?"
uva.x001560099	What's up now?"
uva.x001560099	What, then?"
uva.x001560099	When are you going away?"
uva.x001560099	When does he go, Mrs Jeal?"
uva.x001560099	When you have quite done perhaps you will let me speak?"
uva.x001560099	Where did you get the money to pay your debts if it was not from selling the cup?"
uva.x001560099	Where did you get the money?
uva.x001560099	Where did you meet him?"
uva.x001560099	Where have you been after making an exhibition of yourself?"
uva.x001560099	Where have you been, Marton?"
uva.x001560099	Who but you, the giver of the cup, should wish to help?
uva.x001560099	Who is he?"
uva.x001560099	Who is it?"
uva.x001560099	Who is that?"
uva.x001560099	Why do you look so closely at that picture, Marton?"
uva.x001560099	Why should I not give him up and accuse you of being an acces- sory to his concealment?"
uva.x001560099	Why should you believe the bad and doubt the good?
uva.x001560099	Why, this pawnbroker — what is his name? — Penny.
uva.x001560099	Why?"
uva.x001560099	Will he ask us to dinner?"
uva.x001560099	Will you and Miss Tempest dine with me next week?"
uva.x001560099	You knew he was going to see Mr Raston?"
uva.x001560099	You love Sybil?"
uva.x001560099	You quite under- stand that next week I go to London?"
uva.x001560099	You saw this man Penny, no doubt?"
uva.x001560099	You say this man Pratt has now the cup in his possession?"
uva.x001560099	You think that Pratt has the cup?"
uva.x001560099	You think that Tony Angel will go there?"
uva.x001560099	You understand, Sir Frank?"
uva.x001560099	You will see me sometimes, Sybil?"
uva.x001560099	Your debts?"
uva.x001560099	Your father?
uva.x001560099	Your mission here is one of blackmail?"
uva.x001560099	i jo The Pagan's Cup"Is he clever at disguising himself?"
uva.x001560099	replied Haverleigh, stroking her hair;"but your father?
uva.x001560099	said Pratt, with a swift glance, remember- ing Mrs Jeal,"is she of gipsy blood?
uva.x001560099	said Tempest,"and the Scotch so clannish?"
uiug.30112041663029	And do you think the King's Lieutenant would listen to you?
uiug.30112041663029	And how would you have me take it? uiug.30112041663029 And your mother, was be equally ignorant?"
uiug.30112041663029	Burgundy?
uiug.30112041663029	But we do not know where he is to be found. “ “ Who wants to find the scoundrel?

uiug.30112041663029	Nothing? uiug.30112041663029 Oh, you do?"
uiug.30112041663029	What does humiliation matter? uiug.30112041663029 What?
uiug.30112041663029	Where is it to be procured? uiug.30112041663029 Whose orders?"

uiug.30112041663029	You do not love me then, Climene? uiug.30112041663029 You?
uiug.30112041663029	?"
uiug.30112041663029	?"
uiug.30112041663029	Acknowledge him?
uiug.30112041663029	Ah, Moreau?
uiug.30112041663029	All"What else?"
uiug.30112041663029	Am I not what your father calls a natural actor?
uiug.30112041663029	Am I to understand that you are no longer as convinced as you appeared to be of its infamy?"
uiug.30112041663029	And I never saw you I""Were you there, too?'
uiug.30112041663029	And do you know that we are, after all, not so dissimilar, you and I?"
uiug.30112041663029	And do you think in your pride that France, this Job among the nations, will suffer it forever?
uiug.30112041663029	And have we not now the wherewithal to constrain fortune?
uiug.30112041663029	And if in the end the new ideas prevail?
uiug.30112041663029	And in one case, at least, it was advanced successfully. ” “ Successfully?
uiug.30112041663029	And in what capacity are you think- ing of me?
uiug.30112041663029	And is that all you think of it?"
uiug.30112041663029	And now that you know all about me, what of Gavrillac?
uiug.30112041663029	And shall you expect less acquisitiveness in men who have built themselves up by acquisitiveness?
uiug.30112041663029	And she has not yet arrived?
uiug.30112041663029	And the King?"
uiug.30112041663029	And the proposal?
uiug.30112041663029	And then in the urgency sweeping aside all minor considerations: “ Were you also too late?
uiug.30112041663029	And then?
uiug.30112041663029	And what had he done of all this that he had boasted?
uiug.30112041663029	And what shall she regret?
uiug.30112041663029	And what sort of rela- tionship may that be?
uiug.30112041663029	And what use is that?
uiug.30112041663029	And who the devil are you 104 Scaramouche to assume anything?
uiug.30112041663029	And why monstrous, if you please?
uiug.30112041663029	And yet you are concerned to save me, the man who seeks the life of your future husband at the hands either of the law or of the people?
uiug.30112041663029	And yet, given the inspiration that is given Léandre, it is possible that I might be convincing. ” “ Why, what inspiration do you mean?"
uiug.30112041663029	And you are master of it?"
uiug.30112041663029	Are you not to marry her?"
uiug.30112041663029	Are you sure they will not make you change your mind?"
uiug.30112041663029	As for this humour — such as it is — which you decry, you might turn it to profitable account. ”"How so?"
uiug.30112041663029	Besides, do you know that, unlike Scaramouche, I have been oddly provident?
uiug.30112041663029	But I have hopes of M. le Marquis. ”"Hopes of what?
uiug.30112041663029	But do n't you correspond with your godfather?"
uiug.30112041663029	But does it really matter?"
uiug.30112041663029	But even had it been otherwise, where is the comparison?
uiug.30112041663029	But how so, my captain?
uiug.30112041663029	But how was Fresnel to know that?
uiug.30112041663029	But what could she do?
uiug.30112041663029	But what should it be?"
uiug.30112041663029	But when did you see that P When?"
uiug.30112041663029	But where among the rustics of Brittany are we to find afellow of even his poor parts?
uiug.30112041663029	But where would be the danger to you?
uiug.30112041663029	But why did n't you say so before?
uiug.30112041663029	But why should you be the one to go?
uiug.30112041663029	Can you answer me?
uiug.30112041663029	Can you wonder?
uiug.30112041663029	Could I do less than I am doing?
uiug.30112041663029	Could I then suffer that you should be dragged down by am- bition, could I suffer the evil I detested to mate with the good I loved?
uiug.30112041663029	Could he possibly be sincere in his assurance that he must prevail against M. de La Tour d'Azyr?
uiug.30112041663029	Could it be Andre- Louis returning?
uiug.30112041663029	Could we prevail if we did?
uiug.30112041663029	Could you assist me there, do you think?"
uiug.30112041663029	Did n’t I say that they are very closely engaged?
uiug.30112041663029	Did she say anything else?"
uiug.30112041663029	Did you mention decency, Binet?
uiug.30112041663029	Did you not say that fortune awaits us?
uiug.30112041663029	Did you struggle when I took her from you?"
uiug.30112041663029	Dis- mayed anger, and an arrogance more utter than before, took the place of the sympathy he had been betrayed into display- mg. “ Who?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do n’t they see that?
uiug.30112041663029	Do n’t you realise it?
uiug.30112041663029	Do n’t you repent, Andre — not now that you see all the harm that has come?
uiug.30112041663029	Do n’t you think, had I been entirely the rogue you think me, I could have sold you on Saturday last?
uiug.30112041663029	Do the souls of them count for nothing?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you expect sincerity in man when hypocrisy is the very keynote of human nature?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you happen to know if M. de La Tour d’Azyr has married?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you hear me?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you imagine that the law will presume to touch me?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you know if that was so?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you know that the Literary Chamber is seriously considering your expulsion?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you know that you are amusing?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you know that you disappoint me, André?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you know?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you never hear any of the news?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you realise how I have been fulfilling it, how I shallcontinue to fulfil it as occasion offers?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you see nothing of the gathering clouds that herald the coming of the storm?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you suppose I am afraid of that pack of oafs sent by M. Lesdiguieres?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you think I want to see you damned, Aline? ” 72 Scaramouche Her hand fell away from his arm.
uiug.30112041663029	Do you think that Ancenis would have me for its representative?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you think we will let you ruin everything by your clowning?
uiug.30112041663029	Do you want to deprive us of the patronage of all gentlefolk by vulgar appeals to the low passions of the mob?"
uiug.30112041663029	Do you want to see this pretty Marquis torn limb from limb?
uiug.30112041663029	Does it mean that when you are a representative you will not scruple to skewer Monsieur le Marquis?"
uiug.30112041663029	Does n’t it speak for itself — eloquently?
uiug.30112041663029	Enfin, will you explain? ”"I see,"he said, and pulled at his pipe.
uiug.30112041663029	Excited, she ran to the head of the narrow staircase in time to hear Madame de Plougastel exclaim in agitation: “ He has gone already?
uiug.30112041663029	For without me, what should you have done, my poor children?"
uiug.30112041663029	Had I been born a gentleman, do you say?
uiug.30112041663029	Had I notcome to see that, what to- day would be my position?
uiug.30112041663029	Had you heard?
uiug.30112041663029	Has he promised?"
uiug.30112041663029	Has it ever occurred to you, Philippe, what it is that makes the rule of the nobles so intolerable?
uiug.30112041663029	Have n't I said so?"
uiug.30112041663029	Have n’t I told you so?
uiug.30112041663029	Have n’t I told you that I would gladly go among them with my club, and crack them like so many- — fleas?
uiug.30112041663029	Have n’t you observed it?
uiug.30112041663029	Have you been practising?"
uiug.30112041663029	Have you ever known him do so, that you should be justified of your sneer?
uiug.30112041663029	Have you no heart, André- Louis?"
uiug.30112041663029	Have you thought what it means to her?
uiug.30112041663029	Have you?"
uiug.30112041663029	He put upon me The Sword 279 “ To what end?
uiug.30112041663029	He will certainly do so if I ask him. ” “ If you ask him?
uiug.30112041663029	He would be pleased to see him again, was he not?
uiug.30112041663029	How came so sweet a blossom to waste her perfumes on such a prig?
uiug.30112041663029	How can you take your ease and smoke at such a time?"
uiug.30112041663029	How could I possibly?
uiug.30112041663029	How could he approve it, since it changes nothing?
uiug.30112041663029	How many men have had such a chance?"
uiug.30112041663029	How shall I say that I have done wrong, and thus take a share of the responsibility for all that blood upon my soul?
uiug.30112041663029	How should I hear?
uiug.30112041663029	I can not wish it otherwise. ” “ Is there any need, madame?
uiug.30112041663029	I had dreamed of better things for you, Aline. ” “ Better than to be Marquise de La Tour d'Azyr?"
uiug.30112041663029	I make no sacrifice in going. ” “ But where will you go?
uiug.30112041663029	I seek consolation in the reminder of Epictetus( do you ever read Epictetus?)
uiug.30112041663029	I shall appeal to him for justice. ” “ Against M. de La Tour d'Azyr?
uiug.30112041663029	I thought perhaps you were about to apologise. ” “ Apologise?
uiug.30112041663029	I told myself that if I could but safely reach your house, I might find sanctuary. ” I"You are in danger? “ “ In danger!"
uiug.30112041663029	I wonder did the phrase cross his mind that day four years later when he himself rode in the death- cart to the Gréve?
uiug.30112041663029	If the seigneurial rule is overthrown, what then?
uiug.30112041663029	If you live to be a thousand you ’ll never have such a chance again, and you ’ve squandered it — for what?"
uiug.30112041663029	Impossible?
uiug.30112041663029	In spite of it the sergeant hailed him grufiy: “ Are you the leader of this troupe of vagabonds?
uiug.30112041663029	Instead: “ And does it not?"
uiug.30112041663029	Is anything wrong?
uiug.30112041663029	Is it a duel, monsieur, where one of the combatants alone is armed?
uiug.30112041663029	Is it ca nt that the feudal grip is on all things that live, crushing them like grapes in the press, to its own profit?
uiug.30112041663029	Is it disgraceful that the public should applaud me?"
uiug.30112041663029	Is not that enough, Monsieur 1e Marquis?
uiug.30112041663029	Is that worth while?
uiug.30112041663029	Is there no joy in life, no happiness, that wealth and pleasure and empty, high- sounding titles are to be its only aims?
uiug.30112041663029	It is a common way of adjusting differences between gentlemen. ” “ You really believe that i ” “ What the devil do you imply, André?
uiug.30112041663029	It is settled then?
uiug.30112041663029	It is settled, then?
uiug.30112041663029	It is the rest that is unimportant. ” 7o Scaramouche “ Do you realise that they have come to arrest you?"
uiug.30112041663029	It is unfortunate for me that I am so headstrong. ” “ And now who deals in insincerity?
uiug.30112041663029	It may be due to that. ”"And so he has come for shelter to his brother?
uiug.30112041663029	Mademoiselle?"
uiug.30112041663029	May it not be the whole?
uiug.30112041663029	Meanwhile Pantaloon was shouting back:_ “ Who gave us leave, do you say?
uiug.30112041663029	Must you be told that it is a coward ’s part to kill the thing he fears, and doubly a coward's part to kill in this way?
uiug.30112041663029	My God, do n't I know?
uiug.30112041663029	My dear child, how could I possibly say Such a thing to M. le Marquis?
uiug.30112041663029	Name of a name,"he groaned to the rather scared members of the company assembled there,"what will happen when they discover that he is n’t acting?"
uiug.30112041663029	Now what exactly do you mean?"
uiug.30112041663029	Now what madness have you in mind?
uiug.30112041663029	Now what precisely shall that mean?
uiug.30112041663029	Now what the devil ’s this?
uiug.30112041663029	Of course, I am an excellent actor. ” “ And why this sudden change?"
uiug.30112041663029	Of what particular folly do you take the trouble to com- lain?
uiug.30112041663029	Oh, but how long since?
uiug.30112041663029	Oh, but what can it avail to talk?
uiug.30112041663029	Oh, but what does that matter?
uiug.30112041663029	Oh, do n’t you see P Do n't you see the treasure that Oordemais has left behind him?
uiug.30112041663029	Oh, is that what you wanted?
uiug.30112041663029	Oh, we are to talk of honour, are we?
uiug.30112041663029	One of them is that you have n’t considered what will happen to you if you do such a thing. “ “ To me?
uiug.30112041663029	Or perhaps you deny it?"
uiug.30112041663029	Or shall I denounce you?
uiug.30112041663029	Order is being restored there as here, and they are quieter now. ” “ What of Gavrillac?
uiug.30112041663029	Out of the silence into which they had fallen anew broke now the cry of: “ What else, then?
uiug.30112041663029	Play Scaramouche with that figure?
uiug.30112041663029	Probably you will also qualify the shooting of Mabey as futile and- ridiculous?
uiug.30112041663029	Quarrel?
uiug.30112041663029	Refuse, when you are demanded from so many sides?
uiug.30112041663029	Shall I be slower in love than in work?
uiug.30112041663029	Shall I convince him?
uiug.30112041663029	Shall we change the subject?"
uiug.30112041663029	Shall we walk?"
uiug.30112041663029	She has a name, I suppose, this sort of sister?"
uiug.30112041663029	Should I have stayed to be hanged?
uiug.30112041663029	Should I say a thing that I do n’t believe?
uiug.30112041663029	Should a vacancy occur, will you act as suppléant?
uiug.30112041663029	Should it surprise me to discover that I had a mother?
uiug.30112041663029	Since obviously you are all'eagerness to tell, why should I ask?
uiug.30112041663029	Still resentful?
uiug.30112041663029	Tell me what you want me to do?"
uiug.30112041663029	Tell me, madame,"quoth Aline, “ are all men beasts?"
uiug.30112041663029	Tell me,"he asked her suddenly, “ why did you not carry this request of yours to M. de la Tour d’Azyr?"
uiug.30112041663029	That I should permit the courtship of me to be conducted like that of any village wench?
uiug.30112041663029	That is why I call myself a hypocrite, a poor self- duping hypocrite. ”"But why, André?
uiug.30112041663029	That nothing that I can say will move you?"
uiug.30112041663029	The Buskin 105 “ You would alter the comedy, would you, M. Parvissimus?"
uiug.30112041663029	The Buskin 123"Walk?
uiug.30112041663029	The Buskin r33 “ And so you find me cruel?"
uiug.30112041663029	The more reluctantly since I do not perceive the absolute necessity for parting. ” “ How?
uiug.30112041663029	The next moment her slight, lithe body was in his arms, and he was kissing her, murmuring her name as if it were a prayer “ Am I cruel now?
uiug.30112041663029	Then we understand each other?
uiug.30112041663029	Then, raising his voice to shout, he asked again: “ What is it?
uiug.30112041663029	These delays at such a time, with famine in the land?
uiug.30112041663029	They were friends. ” I “ You heard what he said?"

uiug.30112041663029	This is communal land — free to all. ” “ It is nothing of the kind. “"Where are the fences?

uiug.30112041663029	Was the baiting of him now to cease whilst the man at whom he aimed had not presented himself?
uiug.30112041663029	Was there no one could help her?
uiug.30112041663029	Was to have married?
uiug.30112041663029	Well, M. André~ Louis Moreau, lawyer, of Gavrillac, what is it to be?
uiug.30112041663029	Well, and what now?

uiug.30112041663029	Were you not?
uiug.30112041663029	What are you, that you should have the insolence to take this tone with me?"

uiug.30112041663029	What could have come of it, but your own damna- tion, as I told you that day at Gavrillac?
uiug.30112041663029	What do you imply?"
uiug.30112041663029	What else is possible?
uiug.30112041663029	What else?"
uiug.30112041663029	What guarantee do you want?"

uiug.30112041663029	What magic did you work?
uiug.30112041663029	What name do you bear?"

uc1.b3347106	And a chocolate malt. ” “ Din'you say root beer? ” “ If I said root beer, it would be coffee.
uc1.b3347106	And does Tom know? ” He paused, took a deep breath.
uc1.b3347106	And in the meantime, give him a message. ” “ Yes? ” He lowered his voice.
uc1.b3347106	And that my foster par- ents are still living there? ” Clay did n't answer.
uc1.b3347106	And then came the crash?
uc1.b3347106	And then?
uc1.b3347106	And what else had he forgotten?
uc1.b3347106	And who, better than Mr. Clay himself, could give substance to the night?
uc1.b3347106	Apparently Nichols felt the same way because he asked: “ What's the answer? ” “ Blackmail, ” said Mr. Bundy.
uc1.b3347106	Are you drunk?
uc1.b3347106	Are you ill? ” Clay shook his head.
uc1.b3347106	Are you listening, Mr. C.?
uc1.b3347106	Are you stupid?
uc1.b3347106	Are you sure? ” “ Simon Bolivar.
uc1.b3347106	As a publisher, I ca n't. ” “ Then what? ” “ You ’d best go to the police. ” To hell with that, he thought.
uc1.b3347106	At the same time she said, “ What's the matter with you today, Sam? ” “ Dumb, ” he said.
uc1.b3347106	Atlast Diffendorf said, “ I like Ein- stein's theory better. ”- I. P. Geisel said, “ Theory?
uc1.b3347106	Bernstein? ” I. P. Geisel asked solicitously.
uc1.b3347106	Bourbon, or what's been happening? ” “ I did hear you had a little ruckus with the rangers. ” “ Miss Bentley, I bet. ” Saul nodded.
uc1.b3347106	Brinks out looking for him now. ” “ Who found that out? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	Bundy picked it up, asked, “ Hot water? ” Clay shook his head, said, “ Okay.
uc1.b3347106	But Chopin?
uc1.b3347106	But I ’m going to stir to the last drop, too. ” “ But how can I let you go now? ” “ Easy.
uc1.b3347106	But what about Mrs. Bruce?
uc1.b3347106	But what does one talk to Mrs. Cornelia Palmer about? ” Clay said he did n't know.
uc1.b3347106	But what for a time like this? ” “ I can think of something very appropriate, ” said Mrs. Palmer.
uc1.b3347106	But what is it when a mother kills a grown- up daughter? ” Nobody answered.
uc1.b3347106	But which we sus- pect most depends upon what we learn in Fort Worth. ” “ You have n't heard anything more? ” “ No.
uc1.b3347106	But who would she be black- mailing?
uc1.b3347106	But why had n't she told Standish?
uc1.b3347106	But would n't you?
uc1.b3347106	By the elevator. ” “ Why did you beat me up, Charley? ” “ I...
uc1.b3347106	Ca n't we be friends? ” She'd always talked like a B movie, but this was a new low, even for her.
uc1.b3347106	Camille asked, “ Could we see the bartender, please? ” The man needed a shave.
uc1.b3347106	Camille asked, “ You ’ve got something, Sam? ” “ I told you.
uc1.b3347106	Can you think of a better one?
uc1.b3347106	Clay asked, “ Are you- all fixin'to leave me here alone, Mary Lou? ” “ Four hours overtime!
uc1.b3347106	Clay asked, “ Even if I can back- track, what good will it do? ” A great deal of good, Mr. Bundy asserted.
uc1.b3347106	Clay asked, “ What gives with Adair? ” “ You knew he was with the girl last night?
uc1.b3347106	Clay asked, “ What gives with Adair? ” “ You knew he was with the girl last night?
uc1.b3347106	Clay managed to reply, “ How come what? ” “ The interest.
uc1.b3347106	Clay said, “ You know I ca n't hit you. ” “ Ca n't you? ” Teeth gleamed under the thin mustache.
uc1.b3347106	Clay took the telephone, said, “ Camille, this is Sam. ” “ What have you done? ” Camille demanded.
uc1.b3347106	Clay was here last night... ” “ Yeah? ” The man straightened, glanced at Clay and yawned.
uc1.b3347106	Clay. ” “ Yes? ” “ What is a cat house? ” The men's room was restful.
uc1.b3347106	Clay. ” “ Yes? ” “ What is a cat house? ” The men's room was restful.
uc1.b3347106	Could this be Tom's wife?
uc1.b3347106	Could this be the woman who told you on her deathbed that you were his daughter?
uc1.b3347106	Crash?
uc1.b3347106	Did you...? ” “ I never reached first base, so help me! ” “ And you, Harry? ” I. P. Geisel flicked a piece of lint from his trousers.
uc1.b3347106	Did you...? ” “ I never reached first base, so help me! ” “ And you, Harry? ” I. P. Geisel flicked a piece of lint from his trousers.
uc1.b3347106	Do n't know if he died or not. ” “ Where in Texas? ” “ Your guess as good as mine.
uc1.b3347106	Exclusivel ” “ How? ” 141 “ Kitty Kelly.
uc1.b3347106	Finally Camille asked, “ What's it mean? ” Nichols pinned the note back on the chair, then stared in- quiringly at Clay.
uc1.b3347106	Finally Talbot demanded: “ You coming down?
uc1.b3347106	Five minutes ago? ” He lowered the receiver.
uc1.b3347106	Frightened. ” “ What about Nichols? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	Have you ever heard anything from him? ” “ Heard he was real sick with TB over in Texas.
uc1.b3347106	He demanded: “ What do you think would have happened if I ’d called the police when I found the body? ” She did n't answer.
uc1.b3347106	He felt the stirring of anger at being classed as a statistic, a cog, a wheel, but what could he expect?
uc1.b3347106	He got a hundred and fifty years. ” “ What if the girl was his daughter? ” A curious change came over Saul's face.
uc1.b3347106	He leaned back from the counter, gasped, “ What's important... her from Fort Worth? ” “ I do n't know, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	He said hoarsely, “ A rope? ” She made a faint negative movement with her head.
uc1.b3347106	He was in... liked her. ” “ He bought the jewelry in August 1936? ” “ Yes. ” “ The year we were married, ” she said reflectively.
uc1.b3347106	How could he have forgotten the hat?
uc1.b3347106	How did he get into the apartment?
uc1.b3347106	How had the murderer gotten there?
uc1.b3347106	How the hell would I know?
uc1.b3347106	I bet she followed him up to the apartment and killed the girl. ” “ And raped her? ” Nichols asked dubiously.
uc1.b3347106	I can take anybody I want to dinner! ” “ Dinner? ” Standish raised sooty eyebrows.
uc1.b3347106	I found them! ” “ Found what? ” “ Oh, I'll never tell.
uc1.b3347106	I said I would. ” “ But no clue as to who she was afraid of? ” She thought this over, the V deepening.
uc1.b3347106	I'd do that for anyone. ” “ Low- placed reporters? ” “ Even low- placed reporters. ” Amusement colored the husky voice.
uc1.b3347106	I'm not kidding. ”"Of course not! ” “ What'd you drinklast night? ” Nichols asked.
uc1.b3347106	I'm trying to find out who killed Mary Trevorſ ” “ For what?
uc1.b3347106	I. P. Geisel frowned, said, “ He named Mr. Clay? ” “ He did n't know the name, ” said Marshak.
uc1.b3347106	Improvements, so he thought. ” “ How could he have guessed I'd black out? ” “ He could n't.
uc1.b3347106	Is this a divorce case you claim you were working on?
uc1.b3347106	It was a real deep bite, but the mother sat for it. ” “ But why would she sit, if I understand your meaning? ” Mrs. Palmer asked.
uc1.b3347106	It's sort of customary. ” “ What things? ” “ You might ask Clay where he was last night. ” Storm laughed.
uc1.b3347106	Just meant we had to sift a few extra prints. ” “ Then you have the murderer's? ” Mrs. Palmer asked.
uc1.b3347106	Just said I might. ” “ But the man, when you would n't let him into the club, said he was a reporter, did n't he? ” “ Yes, sir.
uc1.b3347106	Make it airtight? ” “ I imagine he would have liked to, but could n't. ” Mr. Bundy rang the bell.
uc1.b3347106	Man's breath... ” “ It was a man? ” She sighed, pushed her head under his chin.
uc1.b3347106	Mary? ” “ What? ” demanded Mrs. Palmer's voice.
uc1.b3347106	Mary? ” “ What? ” demanded Mrs. Palmer's voice.
uc1.b3347106	Mechanical man?
uc1.b3347106	Mgr.—rent?
uc1.b3347106	Modern Surgery?
uc1.b3347106	Mrs. Palmer asked, “ Do you really be- lieve I did all that? ” I. P. Geisel started to speak again, but Diffendorf cut in.
uc1.b3347106	No?
uc1.b3347106	Nobody was left alive to hear a girl's frightened voice saying: “ She's not there?
uc1.b3347106	Not on a Mrs. Palmer must. ” “ Suppose Ravenscroft's still there? ” “ Andy, for God's sake! ” Clay exclaimed impatiently.
uc1.b3347106	Now, has anybody anything to say? ” Clay felt pressure on his arm as Alma Plummer stepped for- ward, her baby- blue eyes fixed on Standish's feet.
uc1.b3347106	Now, was this club called the Minuet?
uc1.b3347106	Of blanks? ” Coolly she asked: “ In that case, how do you know you did n't kill her? ” “ Because.
uc1.b3347106	Of blanks? ” Coolly she asked: “ In that case, how do you know you did n't kill her? ” “ Because.
uc1.b3347106	On it was: Wounded'Ghost ’ Sov6+ 7 sh, T]/N GLOBE SLAY/ N6-S “ How's that? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	One Larry used to talk through the fence to?
uc1.b3347106	One the other girl came here three, four years ago got so excited about? ” “ No.
uc1.b3347106	Or did he have the brandy later?
uc1.b3347106	Or did n't you know? ” He jerked a pair of trousers from a hanger, stepped into them.
uc1.b3347106	Or do we send the police? ” Clay replied weakly, “ I ’m coming, ” and hung up.
uc1.b3347106	Or of Stan- dish's attitude about the number?
uc1.b3347106	Or, at least, Standish?
uc1.b3347106	Peterkins...? ” and went into the studio.
uc1.b3347106	Peterkins? ” “ Laura's expecting you, ” the man said.
uc1.b3347106	Police? ” “ Are you in charge? ” “ Ed Jessup, ” said the voice.
uc1.b3347106	Police? ” “ Are you in charge? ” “ Ed Jessup, ” said the voice.
uc1.b3347106	Q. Perfume bottles?
uc1.b3347106	Q. ll East Oak?
uc1.b3347106	Question: Were you with Mary Trevor last night? ” “ I was.
uc1.b3347106	Searched his broom closet and what d'you think they found? ” They eyed him blankly.
uc1.b3347106	Selma...? ” “ Alma, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	She talked to Mother Germaine. ” “ Do you know what about? ” Sister Cecelia hesitated.
uc1.b3347106	She was saying, “ I think I should tell you of my two con- versations with the girl. ” “ Two? ” “ One was in the office here.
uc1.b3347106	So it was said, at least. ” “ The girl who was a friend of Larry Trevor? ” “ Larry Trevor? ” Clay tried again.
uc1.b3347106	So it was said, at least. ” “ The girl who was a friend of Larry Trevor? ” “ Larry Trevor? ” Clay tried again.
uc1.b3347106	So they would be certain to find you? ” Clay shook his head again.
uc1.b3347106	Something a poor music teacher could n't wear. ” “ And she left it to the girl? ” 137 “ Why not? ” Why not was right.
uc1.b3347106	Something a poor music teacher could n't wear. ” “ And she left it to the girl? ” 137 “ Why not? ” Why not was right.
uc1.b3347106	Storm said, “ He bought the bottle from a bartender named Jacques. ” “ And where is this Jacques? ” I. P. Geisel inquired.
uc1.b3347106	Suddenly Mrs. Palmer's voice, sharp and imperative, de- manded: “ What do you want?
uc1.b3347106	Suppose I do n't want to go down? ” “ Look, ” he began again and then said, “ Jesus!
uc1.b3347106	That's where, in 1952, Mary Trevor finally found her mother. ” “ She found her mother in a convent? ” Mrs. Palmer asked in a surprised voice.
uc1.b3347106	That's why I'm not going to the police until I have tol ” “ Things have changed since this morning. ” “ Because why?
uc1.b3347106	That's your story?
uc1.b3347106	The Baumholtz girl. ” “ Baumholtz? ” For a second Clay was bewildered and then 68 S IN N E R S A N D S H R O U DS he remembered.
uc1.b3347106	The elevator boy. ” “ What'd he tell you? ” “ That the killer was on the Globe.
uc1.b3347106	Then why?
uc1.b3347106	They might find something. ” “ Like what? ” Kitty Kelly asked, interested.
uc1.b3347106	Thirty years here now. ” “ You were there when Larry was released from the farm? ” “ Was n't released.
uc1.b3347106	Understand? ” “ Yes, sir, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	Unless he was a cop or a newspaperman? ” “ A newspaperman, ” said Mr. Bundy, “ is what I believe him to be. ” Clay felt his spine tingle.
uc1.b3347106	Was this clear?
uc1.b3347106	Washington, D.C. ” “ It ’s mine...? ” Another squawk came from the machine, followed by static and a deeper hum.
uc1.b3347106	Washwrong... this bed? ” There was a sound of springs, a satisfied groan.
uc1.b3347106	We'll just drive and drive —"“ What in hell are you talking about? ” “ Good- by, Sam. ” Her voice was choked.
uc1.b3347106	We'll put a man on Esther right away. ” “ She died three years ago. ” “ So?
uc1.b3347106	Well, did you or did you not attack this girl?
uc1.b3347106	Well?
uc1.b3347106	Went on over to the convent... Are you there, mister? ” “ Yes, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	What about the hat?
uc1.b3347106	What abt checking account?
uc1.b3347106	What are you doing in here? ” Another voice, Clay's, blurred but gradually getting louder, said.
uc1.b3347106	What are you in for? ” “ Rape, ” Nichols said.
uc1.b3347106	What are you sore about? ” Holding his false arm stiff against his side, Adair hit him on the cheekbone.
uc1.b3347106	What book?
uc1.b3347106	What for? ” Nichols'voice was apologetic.
uc1.b3347106	What for? ” “ Snoop around.
uc1.b3347106	What girl three or four years ago? ” “ Real beauty.
uc1.b3347106	What had Mrs. Palmer said about the person Mary had told her she was having trouble with?
uc1.b3347106	What he mean, fifteen bucks? ” and walked back to Michigan Avenue.
uc1.b3347106	What if I told you I grew up on a farm near Waco, Texas?
uc1.b3347106	What in hell did that mean?
uc1.b3347106	What is it? ” Standish coughed delicately.
uc1.b3347106	What light could she throw on the evening?
uc1.b3347106	What the hell?
uc1.b3347106	What was the explanation of that?
uc1.b3347106	What you drivin'at, mister? ” 208 S IN N E R S A N D S H R O U DS “ We ’re trying to tie up someone here with Middern.
uc1.b3347106	What you got, boy, a harem?
uc1.b3347106	What?
uc1.b3347106	When he got his breath, he said, “ How long have you been here? ” She gave him her Mona Lisa smile.
uc1.b3347106	Where bot coat?
uc1.b3347106	Where bot jewelry?
uc1.b3347106	Where did you get it? ” Even to him, his voice sounded ominous.
uc1.b3347106	Where do we start? ” Mr. Bundy aimed his umbrella at a two- story brownstone building a block down the street.
uc1.b3347106	Where do you want me to start?
uc1.b3347106	Where had Mr. Clay taken her?
uc1.b3347106	Where is he? ” “ Think I'd be here if I knew? ” She slipped between the beds, picked up the phone and began to dial.
uc1.b3347106	Where is he? ” “ Think I'd be here if I knew? ” She slipped between the beds, picked up the phone and began to dial.
uc1.b3347106	Where was I?
uc1.b3347106	Who is Mrs. B?
uc1.b3347106	Who paid maid? ” Kitty Kelly spoke softly into the telephone.
uc1.b3347106	Who was she?
uc1.b3347106	Who were they kidding?
uc1.b3347106	Who?
uc1.b3347106	Who?.
uc1.b3347106	Whose residence is this? ” Ten seconds went by, followed by the humming- static noise, and with a second click the line went dead.
uc1.b3347106	Whose residence is this? ” They waited but nothing else happened.
uc1.b3347106	Why could n't she leave it alone?
uc1.b3347106	Why in hell could n't he re- member?
uc1.b3347106	Why not from someone else?
uc1.b3347106	Why not?
uc1.b3347106	Why the bathroom?
uc1.b3347106	Why was she taking a bath?
uc1.b3347106	Why were they covering up?
uc1.b3347106	Why, if she'd recognized his voice on the telephone, had n't she told the police?
uc1.b3347106	Why?
uc1.b3347106	Why?
uc1.b3347106	Why? ” Canning's blue eyes gleamed frostily.
uc1.b3347106	Why? ” Nichols was looking at the schedule Clay had drawn up of the previous night.
uc1.b3347106	Why? ” “ Just wondered. ” “ Action, my boy, not wondering, is the watchword! ” Talbot said.
uc1.b3347106	Will you put the question to me again, Mr. Clay? ” Puzzled, Clay stared at Adair's dark face.
uc1.b3347106	With murder done, can marriage be far behind?
uc1.b3347106	Would there be any way of checking? ” “ A Miss Baumholtz? ” “ You talked to her! ” “ No, but I remember her well.
uc1.b3347106	Would there be any way of checking? ” “ A Miss Baumholtz? ” “ You talked to her! ” “ No, but I remember her well.
uc1.b3347106	You admit you attacked this girl, this Cleo, Hughes?
uc1.b3347106	You ever wrestle a greased pig in a junkyard, Captain?
uc1.b3347106	You recognize it? ” “ Looks like one of mine. ” “ You better hope it ai n't. ” The lieutenant put the hat back on the table.
uc1.b3347106	Your apartment at five and then home in time to be told of the girl's death? ” “ Brother! ” Clay exclaimed.
uc1.b3347106	Your client?
uc1.b3347106	Your story is that you were questioning this Cleo?
uc1.b3347106	Your wife helps you with these things?
uc1.b3347106	recognize the voice? ” “ ‘ Muffled, she said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Adame? ” Clay said, bewildered.
uc1.b3347106	“ After she was supposed to be dead? ” Clay nodded.
uc1.b3347106	“ Ai n’t you kinda late for the party? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Alice? ” “ Of course!
uc1.b3347106	“ Am I boring you? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ An'then it might n't. ” 180 S IN N E R S A N D S H R O U DS “ Did n't you tell me you'd know him? ” “ No, sir.
uc1.b3347106	“ And Mr. C. ” “ A writ of habeas corpus? ” Clay suggested.
uc1.b3347106	“ And now, since you know everything I do, why do n't you go away? ” Clay turned and started down the hall.
uc1.b3347106	“ And what's your alibi, Harry? ” “ Why do n't you ask one of those goddam detectives of yours? ” Their eyes clashed.
uc1.b3347106	“ And what's your alibi, Harry? ” “ Why do n't you ask one of those goddam detectives of yours? ” Their eyes clashed.
uc1.b3347106	“ And, he thinks, the killer. ” “ Informer, eh? ” The telephone wire dropped into a loop on the rug as Standish went back to his desk.
uc1.b3347106	“ Any messages for the lady? ” He got to his feet.
uc1.b3347106	“ Anyone we know? ” Clay shook his head.
uc1.b3347106	“ Anything I can do? ” “ I do n't think — waitaminute, maybe there is.
uc1.b3347106	“ Anything yet? ” “ Police still working the boy over, ” Talbot said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Are you Mr. Clay? ” the someone asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Are you asking me to help you? ” “ I ’m asking for an answer. ” The books were mostly French.
uc1.b3347106	“ Are you in charge, Mr. Jessup? ” “ Just told you. ” The voice was still querulous, but stronger now.
uc1.b3347106	“ Are you in the habit of having ladies carry you around? ” “ Just big ladies, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Are you sure this is con- nected with the murder? ” I50 “ Shoot him like a dog! ” “ A very human reaction.
uc1.b3347106	“ At four thirty- one? ” “ No.
uc1.b3347106	“ At two Ileft her at the Minuet bar. ” “ And then? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Back in his cell. ” “ You could n't spring him? ” “ Not yet. ” The lawyer frowned.
uc1.b3347106	“ Bad night? ” “ Terrible. ” The bartender regarded him thoughtfully.
uc1.b3347106	“ Because so far it's about all we got. ” “ How do you know it's his? ” Clay asked weakly.
uc1.b3347106	“ But did n't we agree Simon gave the jewelry to Esther Baumholtz? ” “ And fifty thousand dollars, too? ” Mrs. Palmer shrugged.
uc1.b3347106	“ But did n't we agree Simon gave the jewelry to Esther Baumholtz? ” “ And fifty thousand dollars, too? ” Mrs. Palmer shrugged.
uc1.b3347106	“ But even if I am a charlatan, what have you to lose? ” Clay looked at his watch.
uc1.b3347106	“ But he described him? ” “ No.
uc1.b3347106	“ But how do we run it down? ” Mr. Bundy ignored the question.
uc1.b3347106	“ But right now you'd better get busy on Laura Peterkins. ” “ I ’ll call her. ” “ Go out there. ” “ Why?"
uc1.b3347106	“ But what gives you the notion Mary rang in the Hooded Nun? ” “ Laura Peterkins'note.
uc1.b3347106	“ Ca n't it wait? ” “ It's pretty important. ” “ Nuisance! ” Adair put down his teacup, smiled resignedly at the others.
uc1.b3347106	“ Ca n't take it, eh? ” Saul asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Ca n't you see I ’m trying to help you? ” She stood up, back to him, and went around the chair to the desk.
uc1.b3347106	“ Can you hear me? ” Clay demanded.
uc1.b3347106	“ Change one digit around, Sam, and what number do you think we've got?
uc1.b3347106	“ Clay? ” a harsh voice asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Could I have another drink, please? ” Clay made it for her, deciding against one for himself.
uc1.b3347106	“ Could n't be you...? ” “ Why, Sergeant! ” Diffendorf's voice was injured.
uc1.b3347106	“ Did she give her name? ” he finally managed to ask.
uc1.b3347106	“ Did you hear me? ” he asked petulantly.
uc1.b3347106	“ Did you know this girl? ” he asked suspiciously.
uc1.b3347106	“ Down? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Even if Mary were her daughter? ” “ Forty million bucks. ” Nobody seemed to get it.
uc1.b3347106	“ Evidence... of these alleged blackmail payments, Clay? ” “ Of the initial one.
uc1.b3347106	“ For me? ” His voice came out a hoarse croak.
uc1.b3347106	“ For- get I mention it. ” They went out through the mirrored hall, hearing Emile's voice demanding, “ Fifteen bucks?
uc1.b3347106	“ General alarm out for him. ” Standish, from the desk, asked, “ You ’re basing your case on this? ” “ We got more.
uc1.b3347106	“ Get her name? ” Nichols asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Gon na be a dime comic, is it?
uc1.b3347106	“ Gon na try breast for a change? ” The girl fell over on the bed moaning softly.
uc1.b3347106	“ Good old Horace! ” “ What is it? ” Camille asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Had n't I better call him? ” Mrs. Palmer shook her head slowly.
uc1.b3347106	“ Harry? ” “ I never heard the name. ” “ Nor I. ” Standish continued to press Clay's shoulder.
uc1.b3347106	“ Hatchet Horace from Washington. ” “ How come Washington? ” Canning asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Have you any idea how the girl got Simon's jewelry? ” “ I ’d guess through Esther Baumholtz.
uc1.b3347106	“ Have you ever heard of black- outs?
uc1.b3347106	“ Have you lost your mind? ” I. P. Geisel demanded.
uc1.b3347106	“ He ’s here? ” The pale eyes studied him.
uc1.b3347106	“ Hello... hello... ” Clay shouted, “ Bethany poor farm? ” “ Hello... hello... ” said the voice.
uc1.b3347106	“ Him a citizen? ” The lawyer's long face became melancholy.
uc1.b3347106	“ How about run- ning me up to seven? ” The man was barely five feet tall.
uc1.b3347106	“ How come? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ How deep do you want us to dig, Edwin? ” “ All the way.
uc1.b3347106	“ How did you get it? ” “ She could n't find you... so she thought of me.
uc1.b3347106	“ How long did I stay? ” “ About five minutes. ” She handed him a cup, accepted a piece of toast.
uc1.b3347106	“ How many tag lines do I have to say? ” He scowled at Mrs. Palmer.
uc1.b3347106	“ How much do you want? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ How much? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ How soon can you get away, boy? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ How would ou? ”!)
uc1.b3347106	“ How would you like to volunteer, Harry? ” Canning removed his hand from the lamp.
uc1.b3347106	“ How'd he know my name? ” “ Elevator boy!
uc1.b3347106	“ How'd she get along with Mary? ” “ Fine, far as I know. ” From the city desk came shouts.
uc1.b3347106	“ How'd you know her name was Baumholtz? ” Saul began tossing the Bromo- Seltzer from glass to glass, like a magician doing a card trick.
uc1.b3347106	“ How's the new- born bachelor? ” He went past her into the Early American living room.
uc1.b3347106	“ I did n't do quite as good as you, Sam. ” “ What are you talking about?
uc1.b3347106	“ I got to go! ” “ What about the killer? ” Canning demanded.
uc1.b3347106	“ I suppose Laura wants to sleep some more? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3347106	“ I will not bother you with them now. ” “ What can we do? ” Nichols asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ I — we are disappointed, Captain. ” “ Disappointed? ” “ The Globe has had its eye on you.
uc1.b3347106	“ I ’ll be damned! ” Camille asked, “ Who was the girl? ” “ I do n't know, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ If I were you, ” he said, “ I ’d forget that idea. ” “ why?"
uc1.b3347106	“ Is it a babe? ” Nichols asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Is it, Sam? ” “ For God's sake! ” he said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Is that you, Sam? ” He hung up.
uc1.b3347106	“ Is there something important about this? ” “ I do n't know, ” Clay admitted.
uc1.b3347106	“ Is this from one of those nefarious traps you maintain about the city? ” “ Traps! ” Ellenstein was outraged.
uc1.b3347106	“ Killer?
uc1.b3347106	“ Killer? ” Clarence stared imploringly at Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ Know where I find a fellow named Charley Adair? ” “ You bet, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Lemon? ” “ Thank you. ” “ Q. ” Miss Dewhurst smiled faintly, put a slice on one of the saucers.
uc1.b3347106	“ Liquid mari- juana? ” “ I was sober enough when I found her body. ”* Nichols and his wife exchanged glances.
uc1.b3347106	“ Look around! ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ Well? ” Jordan's eyes rested briefly on Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ Might bring up some things you, or maybe Fleur, would n't like. ” “ Such as? ” Canning's voice was smooth.
uc1.b3347106	“ Mind? ” he asked as though he did n't understand.
uc1.b3347106	“ Mind? ” he repeated.
uc1.b3347106	“ Mitzi France? ” Mr. Bundy was asking.
uc1.b3347106	“ Mur- ders? ” “ I meant murder. ” “ Oh. ” The eyes were inquisitive, not wholly convinced.
uc1.b3347106	“ Never washed him to see! ” “ Who butchered the hogs in those days? ” “ All the boys.
uc1.b3347106	“ No. ” “ Not even meeting her? ” Clay shook his head.
uc1.b3347106	“ No? ” Storm eyed him stonily.
uc1.b3347106	“ Now do you see why she paid? ” “ Preposterous! ” A second cigarhad exploded in I. P. Geisel's face.
uc1.b3347106	“ Now, what about Widdecomb? ” “ To get to him, ” Clay said, “ I ’m going to have to start way back.
uc1.b3347106	“ Official business. ” “ How's that?
uc1.b3347106	“ On what grounds? ” “ Enough evidence for a dozen convictions. ” “ Such as? ” Storm's jaw tightened.
uc1.b3347106	“ On what grounds? ” “ Enough evidence for a dozen convictions. ” “ Such as? ” Storm's jaw tightened.
uc1.b3347106	“ Or did you think I was just going to sit around baking saws in cakes? ” 26 Clay's heart fluttered in his chest.
uc1.b3347106	“ Out of what? ” “ Sex fiendin ’, ” the bartender said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Paste? ” Camille draped the bracelet over her wrist.
uc1.b3347106	“ Pat?
uc1.b3347106	“ People got to have a place to put hats and things, ai n't they?
uc1.b3347106	“ People running like crazy! ” “ Who found out about the apartment manager? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Police? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Poor child. ” “ Where were you when she made the first call? ” “ In bed.
uc1.b3347106	“ Pork! ” “ Din'you say pork? ” “ I said roast beef.
uc1.b3347106	“ Re- lease from what? ” “ Come now, Mr. Clay. ” She smiled indulgently.
uc1.b3347106	“ Remem- ber it? ” “ Sure, ” Clay said guardedly.
uc1.b3347106	“ Roddy's going to have a description. ” “ Of what? ” Clay asked, feeling his heart jump.
uc1.b3347106	“ Sam, you're to go over to the apartment. ” “ Apartment?
uc1.b3347106	“ Sam? ” Alice's voice asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Sam? ” Standish prompted.
uc1.b3347106	“ See anybody you know, Jordan? ” Storm asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ She say she is known there. ” “ Remember? ” the bartender asked Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ She still in there? ” she asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Smart, were n't you?
uc1.b3347106	“ So far, at least. ” “ The maid? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ So? ” “ So, were you with her? ” “ Are you asking that on your own initiative? ” Clay nodded.
uc1.b3347106	“ So? ” “ So, were you with her? ” “ Are you asking that on your own initiative? ” Clay nodded.
uc1.b3347106	“ So? ” “ So, were you with her? ” “ Are you asking that on your own initiative? ” Clay nodded.
uc1.b3347106	“ Soprano? ” “ Claims he's a singer, ” Kitty Kelly said darkly.
uc1.b3347106	“ Still there? ” An outraged voice began, “ Where the sweet J.... ” and Talbot snapped the switch closed, glanced at Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ Still want to make that Washington call? ” Clay wanted, most of all, to disappear, but he nodded.
uc1.b3347106	“ Susan? ” “ I know I ’m late, Susan, but Mr. Bundy is being... inter- viewed. ” He finally got it.
uc1.b3347106	“ Taken refuge in the British Embassy? ” I02 “ It was the killer, using your keys.
uc1.b3347106	“ Tall... lean, hungry face... hooked nose... sandy eyebrows and hair?
uc1.b3347106	“ That all? ” Standish asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ That all? ” “ All!
uc1.b3347106	“ That the idea, hon ’? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ The Little Club bartender, Jacques something...? ” “ What about him? ” “ Trib's got him.
uc1.b3347106	“ The Little Club bartender, Jacques something...? ” “ What about him? ” “ Trib's got him.
uc1.b3347106	“ The attendant? ” I07 “ Alias Sophie Skouloudes.
uc1.b3347106	“ The first time you came in. ” “ The first time? ” She nodded.
uc1.b3347106	“ The other thing is: did he kill the girl? ” Everyone looked at Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ The person to whom I spoke added something I failed to understand. ” “ What was that? ” asked Mr. Bundy.
uc1.b3347106	“ The pie's only a dime, Saul. ” “ Pie? ” Who's talking about pie?
uc1.b3347106	“ The pie's only a dime, Saul. ” “ Pie? ” Who's talking about pie?
uc1.b3347106	“ Then what is it? ” He felt an artery throbbing over one temple.
uc1.b3347106	“ Then what? ” “ Just what I wrote down. ” Nichols read from the schedule.
uc1.b3347106	“ Then you did n't trace the Du- pont number? ” “ It's unlisted. ” “ It ’s mine. ” He blinked at her in astonishment.
uc1.b3347106	“ They would dispose of the first part of your story, would n't they?
uc1.b3347106	“ Think I impressed'em? ” “ You impressed me, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Think a man's involved? ” “ Could be. ” 69 “ Nope.
uc1.b3347106	“ Tired of dark meat? ” The girl clung to Clay but he shoved her away, at the same time watching the Negro.
uc1.b3347106	“ Tired of drumstick, hon? ” he asked hoarsely.
uc1.b3347106	“ To make it appear you had attempted to attack her. ” “ Why not rape her then?
uc1.b3347106	“ Too big, eh? ” “ You had it, ” Storm said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Toscanini? ” He pulled down a lever.
uc1.b3347106	“ Trouble? ” “ No trouble.
uc1.b3347106	“ Unfortunately, I have an alibi. ” “ So?
uc1.b3347106	“ Want a handkerchief? ” “ I ’ve got one. ” While Clay gingerly daubed at his nose, Diffendorf held a kitchen match to the pipe.
uc1.b3347106	“ Want the dope? ” he asked Clay, extracting a pencil- scrawled envelope from his hip pocket.
uc1.b3347106	“ Want to claim it? ” “ God, no! ” “ Okay. ” Diffendorf yawned.
uc1.b3347106	“ Want to see? ” A picture of the dead girl's torn body came into his mind.
uc1.b3347106	“ Want us to hold him? ” Talbot said into the telephone, then stared accusingly at Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ Was I alone? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Was he a small fellow, white eyebrows, blue eyes, pink- and- white skin? ” “ Blue eyes, all right.
uc1.b3347106	“ Was that what you were doing at her apartment? ” He bent over a sheet of paper on his desk.
uc1.b3347106	“ Was your girl the one she was looking for? ” “ Mother Germaine did n't say.
uc1.b3347106	“ We got that right from your own paper. ” “ Yeah? ” “ Lady called us.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well, son, ” he said, “ what's the difficulty? ” “ It's kind of a long story. ” Amaple chair creaked under the big man's weight.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well, was it fun? ” “ Look.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well...? ” “ What if somebody down there calls Standish? ” “ They wo n't.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well...? ” “ What if somebody down there calls Standish? ” “ They wo n't.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well? ” Clay felt his ears start to burn.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well? ” “ You knew Larry Trevor too, did n't you? ” The hand closed convulsively.
uc1.b3347106	“ Well? ” “ You knew Larry Trevor too, did n't you? ” The hand closed convulsively.
uc1.b3347106	“ Were you with her or not? ” “ Very well. ” Adair's voice was harsh, but he had it under control.
uc1.b3347106	“ What about that, Sam? ” Clay stared at the bottle.
uc1.b3347106	“ What about the elevator boy? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What are you talking about? ” “ Do I have to spell it out? ” Talbot's voice was aggrieved.
uc1.b3347106	“ What are you talking about? ” “ Do I have to spell it out? ” Talbot's voice was aggrieved.
uc1.b3347106	“ What d'you say we say to hell with it? ” “ I ca n't tonight. ” “ Oh yes, you can.
uc1.b3347106	“ What did you do after he hit you, Clarissa? ” “ Jest lay there, ” a voice replied.
uc1.b3347106	“ What do you think you're looking for? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What do you think? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What else? ” “ Nothing. ” “ Come now, son. ” “ Damn it! ” Clay felt sudden irritation.
uc1.b3347106	“ What happened to that? ” “ I swallowed it! ” Standish snarled, and then relaxed again.
uc1.b3347106	“ What have you found out about Esther Baumholtz? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What if they find you here? ” “ Tell them I pulled a knife on you. ” “ I ’m not worried about me.
uc1.b3347106	“ What in hell did you do last night? ” “ The elevator boy, ” Clay croaked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What is it? ” Nichols demanded.
uc1.b3347106	“ What is it? ” The white glove on his false left hand changed shape as the metal claws inside released the knob.
uc1.b3347106	“ What ives? ” g Alma Plummer stared at Clay, round eyed, then hurried away.
uc1.b3347106	“ What kind did Miss Trevor smoke? ” “ Did n't smoke none. ” Diffendorf bent, peered down at the closet floor.
uc1.b3347106	“ What now? ” Sergeant Grimsey asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What the hell goes on? ” the lieutenant demanded.
uc1.b3347106	“ What would I think you ’d want? ” the blond man de- manded.
uc1.b3347106	“ What would happen if he did give himself up? ” “ Insanity plea, maybe. ” “ But he did n't do it! ” “ I do n't know, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ What'd you find? ” “ Nothing. ” 50 S IN N E R S A N D S H R O U DS Diffendorf bent, picked up the crushed cigarette.
uc1.b3347106	“ What'd you think of the act? ” The grin made him look younger.
uc1.b3347106	“ What'll we do? ” Camille asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's her number? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's that gadget for? ” She smoothed her skirt, then picked up her purse.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's that? ” Clay repeated the question and Adair frowned.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's the big idea? ” He had to swallow twice before he could speak.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's the matter? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's the one thing? ” “ I wo n't have Esther Baumholtz's name dragged in the mud! ” “ For Pete's sake!
uc1.b3347106	“ What's this? ” “ Cigarette, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ What's wrong with your place? ” “ No sun. ” “ There will be.
uc1.b3347106	“ What? ” Clay repeated the number.
uc1.b3347106	“ What? ” “ Her bank, ” Kitty Kelly said.
uc1.b3347106	“ What? ” “ I said, find the manager.
uc1.b3347106	“ What? ” “ This golden cage, ” Kitty Kelly said.
uc1.b3347106	“ When did you marry Simon Palmer? ” “ In 1936. ” He swung around to the men.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where are you going? ” he had asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where did it come from? ” “ Cherry blossoms, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where did the blood come from, Sam? ” “ BloodP ’ “ On the dish towel. ” She appeared in the doorway, held out a crumpled towel.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where did you hear about Esther? ” “ I knew her quite well... a long time ago. ” He raised his left hand, examined the shell- pink nails.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where did you run across that? ” Clay hesitated, then said, “ Saul Blair.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where was this? ” Camille asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where were you around four- thirty this morning? ” I45 “ I was in... in Washington. ” “ Can you prove it? ” “ I...
uc1.b3347106	“ Where were you around four- thirty this morning? ” I45 “ I was in... in Washington. ” “ Can you prove it? ” “ I...
uc1.b3347106	“ Where'd she say that nut was? ” Clay pointed out the almond, and Standish picked it up.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where's Mr. Bundy? ” She put the umbrella on the table.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where's Roddy? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where's Tom? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where's the dope? ” Alma pointed to some folded sheets of yellow paper beside her typewriter.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where's your au- thority for this? ” “ I got it, ” Storm said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Where? ” “ Why, the boy gave it to me... minute or two ago.
uc1.b3347106	“ Which, no doubt, she'll use across our backs. ” Clay asked, “ Why Mrs. Palmer? ” “ Why earthquakes? ” Standish countered.
uc1.b3347106	“ Which, no doubt, she'll use across our backs. ” Clay asked, “ Why Mrs. Palmer? ” “ Why earthquakes? ” Standish countered.
uc1.b3347106	“ Which?
uc1.b3347106	“ Who do you think you are?
uc1.b3347106	“ Who is this crea- ture? ” he asked thickly.
uc1.b3347106	“ Who is this? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Who said you could use the phone? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Who wants to relax? ” He glared at Clay.
uc1.b3347106	“ Who ’s this? ” “ Pay no attention to that squarehead, ” the voice said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Who's kidding who? ” Andy had muttered, hanging up.
uc1.b3347106	“ Whose number is it? ” Clay finally asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Whose side you on, Lieutenant? ” I29 “ I saw the same report you did. ” Diffendorf turned to Mrs. Palmer.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why did he bother with the clothes? ” Clay asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why did he want the key? ” º The door opened and the tallest Negro Clay had ever seen came into the room.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why did n't you come to me with the information? ” “ Or me? ” Diffendorf asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why did n't you come to me with the information? ” “ Or me? ” Diffendorf asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why lie?
uc1.b3347106	“ Why not? ” “ Mrs.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why the ma- chine? ” “ I want a record of this conversation. ” “ All right.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why volcanic eruptions? ” Head bowed in thought, Canning began to pace back and forth in front of a stretch of mahogany- paneled wall.
uc1.b3347106	“ Why would he be notified?
uc1.b3347106	“ Why'd she dress as a nun? ” “ Worked before.
uc1.b3347106	“ Wo n't it go further back? ” Bending over the machine, the man peered through a slit at the rear.
uc1.b3347106	“ Would you care to judge? ” “ I ’m no judge. ” “ A trap, ” Peterkins said, watching the blue smoke uncoil.
uc1.b3347106	“ Would you have the person under whose name your number is listed come to the phone?
uc1.b3347106	“ Would you show us? ” Kitty Kelly asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ Yeah? ” The man grinned mirthlessly, showing crooked teeth.
uc1.b3347106	“ Yes, sir? ” “ Tell'em about the phone call you got hour or so ago. ” “ No name, ” Marshak said.
uc1.b3347106	“ Yes?
uc1.b3347106	“ You do n't remember going up to the dame's joint? ” Nichols asked when he had finished.
uc1.b3347106	“ You do not entirely re- ject my theory? ” “ No, ” Clay said.
uc1.b3347106	“ You don'tremember? ” “ Who was the call to? ” “ Unlisted number. ” Mr. Bundy closed the notebook.
uc1.b3347106	“ You don'tremember? ” “ Who was the call to? ” “ Unlisted number. ” Mr. Bundy closed the notebook.
uc1.b3347106	“ You ever hear of a nun traveling alone? ” For the first time Diffendorf was impressed.
uc1.b3347106	“ You got any enemies, Sam? ” Nichols asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ You got anything more to say? ” Diffendorf asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ You got some other idea? ” “ One second, please. ” I. P. Geisel's long face was thought- ful.
uc1.b3347106	“ You his wife? ” “ No.
uc1.b3347106	“ You know how to work that thing you brought? ” “ Natch.
uc1.b3347106	“ You know something?
uc1.b3347106	“ You liked her, did n't you, Saul? ” Folds of flesh dropping back into the familiar creases made the round face melancholy.
uc1.b3347106	“ You listening? ” Clay was n't.
uc1.b3347106	“ You mean you raped her without an introduction? ” “ I do n't know.
uc1.b3347106	“ You paying attention, Sam? ” “ I guess so.
uc1.b3347106	“ You ran some water in the kitchen and then you got a book from your bookcase. ” “ I did what? ” She blushed.
uc1.b3347106	“ You saw him buy the brandy? ” “ No, sir.
uc1.b3347106	“ You say somethin’? ” Clay saw the woman looking at him over her book.
uc1.b3347106	“ You see, we're to have dinner with Mrs. Cornelia Palmer tonight. ” “ That's nice. ” “ Is it? ” The eyes were troubled.
uc1.b3347106	“ You spoke to the Mother Superior? ” “ No.
uc1.b3347106	“ You sure you got the order right, Sam? ” “ Does it make any difference? ” “ It would to me. ” Camille asked brightly.
uc1.b3347106	“ You sure you got the order right, Sam? ” “ Does it make any difference? ” “ It would to me. ” Camille asked brightly.
uc1.b3347106	“ You the guy stole the X- ray plates in the Zimmerman case? ” he asked.
uc1.b3347106	“ You try to buy the magnum of brandy, no? ” Clay stared at him blankly.

uc1.b3347106	“ You will report to me first. ” “ Who's this? ” Clay asked again.
uc1.b3347106	“ You ’re in trouble, are n't you? ” “ What makes you think so? ” “ I can tell. ” She crossed to him, put a hand on his cheek.

uc1.b3347106	“ Yours? ” Clay shook his head.
umn.31951002309740r	, “ Why do n’t you look at it another way? ” the old man countered quickly.
umn.31951002309740r	, “ You were afraid, then, that something in- criminating might be divulged, were n’t you? ” “ Oh, no! ” she denied instantly.
umn.31951002309740r	- “ Have you ever seen that dagger before? ” he asked.
umn.31951002309740r	- “ In an ugly mood, are they?
umn.31951002309740r	- “ Wonderful what a magnet will pick up, ai n’t it?
umn.31951002309740r	A glass of water?—just for the tinkling of ice?
umn.31951002309740r	And I saw the references to your finances, your lack of money. ” “ Yes?
umn.31951002309740r	And had not the mistake driven him into false and value- 146 “ NO CLUE! ” less interpretations of his entire interview with Webster?
umn.31951002309740r	And the person I got it from wo n’t spread it around — That satisfactory?
umn.31951002309740r	And the weapon, what about that?
umn.31951002309740r	And why too late?
umn.31951002309740r	And yet, that ’s what she ’s doing — isn’t she?
umn.31951002309740r	And, take it from me, young man, you ca n’t afford to throw away any you can get. ” “ Threats?
umn.31951002309740r	And, when he came up with her on the Sloanehurst lawn, did n’t he kill her?
umn.31951002309740r	Are there any obstructions there, anything but smooth, open lawn? ” “ No.
umn.31951002309740r	Are you going to deny me fair play?
umn.31951002309740r	Are you merely being polite? ” She smiled, looking tired, and shook her head.
umn.31951002309740r	Are you trying to prostrate me further with impossible theories?
umn.31951002309740r	BRACE, good evening — May I come in?
umn.31951002309740r	But Mrs. Brace — was she clever enough to make that deduction from the known facts?
umn.31951002309740r	But it was because she was in love with him. ” “ And you were jealous of Mr. Webster?
umn.31951002309740r	But it ’s to come to this, Mr. Sloane: you ’re handicapping me, and the reporters and thesherifi do n’t trust you. ” “ Why?
umn.31951002309740r	But what are the facts?
umn.31951002309740r	But what?
umn.31951002309740r	But why?
umn.31951002309740r	But you knew — didn’t you? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002309740r	Ca n’t I — what do they call it?—-retain you?
umn.31951002309740r	Ca n’t you go in now?
umn.31951002309740r	Ca n’t you help me there?
umn.31951002309740r	Can you disabuse her mind? ” She surprised them by going, slowly and with apparent composure, toward the corridor door.
umn.31951002309740r	Can you say?
umn.31951002309740r	Certainly, Mrs. Brace. ” “ And, even when you arrest the right man, say nothing of what you owe me for my sug- gestions?
umn.31951002309740r	Could n’t he be left in peace?
umn.31951002309740r	Did n’t you feel it?
umn.31951002309740r	Did one, or two, contain piece or pieces of a bed- slat?
umn.31951002309740r	Did you receive, or see, a letter in an oblong, grey envelope in yesterday afternoon ’s mail?
umn.31951002309740r	Do me a favour, will you?
umn.31951002309740r	Do n’t you remember?
umn.31951002309740r	Do n’t you see the danger?
umn.31951002309740r	Do n’t you, now? ” “ Why, no!
umn.31951002309740r	Do you give ’em to me?
umn.31951002309740r	Do you grasp that reasoning?
umn.31951002309740r	Do you mean to tell me that?
umn.31951002309740r	Do you see that? ” He had put back his head a little and was peering at Webster under his spectacle- rims, down the line of his nose.
umn.31951002309740r	Do you think he will? ” She did not see why not.
umn.31951002309740r	Don ’ ”\ “ What did Webster whisper to you, across that corpse? ” Hastings demanded, going nearer to Wilton.
umn.31951002309740r	From now on, you ’ll give me credit for that! — — Wo n’t you, Mr. Sheriff? ” Crown apologized.
umn.31951002309740r	Going to the window, he addressed the summer sky: “ Who the devil does the old fool suspect — Arthur or Berne?
umn.31951002309740r	Good idea, ai n’t it?
umn.31951002309740r	Got her heart.——Young —— not over twenty- five, would you say?——Not dead long — Anybody call a doctor?
umn.31951002309740r	Guilty?
umn.31951002309740r	Had he magni- fied Webster ’s desire to keep that promise into guilty knowledge of the crime itself?
umn.31951002309740r	Has she seen Jarvis?
umn.31951002309740r	Have I? ” He looked once at Wilton ’s contorted face, and recoiled, the movement confessing at last his lack of faith in the man.
umn.31951002309740r	Have you no self- respect, no will, no firmness?
umn.31951002309740r	He gets off safely if the Brace woman ever sees fit to tell~ what?
umn.31951002309740r	He had made the noise which attracted my attention. ” “ How do you know that?
umn.31951002309740r	He knows how fond of him I am. ” “ And you would let him have sixty-five thou- sand dollars — if he had to have it?
umn.31951002309740r	He spoke impulsively: “ Did you want — didn’t you feel some impulse, some desire, to go out there when you heard of this murder?
umn.31951002309740r	He tried again: “ Nothing more, Miss Sloane?
umn.31951002309740r	He was deliberating: was there nothing more she could tell him?
umn.31951002309740r	He whittled again, asking her: “ You a native of Washington?
umn.31951002309740r	Her father?
umn.31951002309740r	Here, this chair by the window — so — and this wreck of a fan, can you use it?
umn.31951002309740r	Hope he took it with him. ” “ Why? ” asked Sloane, through chattering teeth.
umn.31951002309740r	How can she know it now?
umn.31951002309740r	How could she have known that?
umn.31951002309740r	How did he get from Hub Hill to where Otis picked him up? ” “ That ’s what I say, ” declared Hastings, very bland.
umn.31951002309740r	How do you know that, Mrs. Brace?
umn.31951002309740r	How does he know it?
umn.31951002309740r	I ca n’t explain it any better than that. ” “ And did you leave her? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ At once?
umn.31951002309740r	I ca n’t explain it any better than that. ” “ And did you leave her? ” “ Yes, sir. ” “ At once?
umn.31951002309740r	I got that impression. ” “ What movement?
umn.31951002309740r	I had countedv on your courage — your unusual courage. ” “ But what will it accomplish?
umn.31951002309740r	I knew where she was going, knew she was going to Sloane- hurst. ” “ How did you know that, Mr. Russell? ” “ I mean I was certain of it.
umn.31951002309740r	I may be able to find the murderer; and you may be able to help me. ” “ 7, “ Yes. ” “ Is n’t it Russell?
umn.31951002309740r	I ran in to call you and Sloane. ” “ And Mr.—-you, Mr. Webster?
umn.31951002309740r	I suspected it. ” “ And watched her movements? ” ’ “ Yes, sir. ” “ And followed her?
umn.31951002309740r	I suspected it. ” “ And watched her movements? ” ’ “ Yes, sir. ” “ And followed her?
umn.31951002309740r	I take it, you would n’t want it known by the sheriff, even now? ” Wilton shook his head in quick negation.
umn.31951002309740r	I tried to think you ’d get along without it! ” “ And now?
umn.31951002309740r	I went on, sliding my feet on the wet grass. ” “ Any reason for doing that, do you remem- ber?
umn.31951002309740r	I ’d never seen her like that before. ” “ What do you mean?
umn.31951002309740r	I ’d rather answer it here than with an audience. ” “ The reading public, for instance?
umn.31951002309740r	If Mrs. Brace troubles you again, will you let me know about it, at the earliest possible moment?
umn.31951002309740r	If he does n’t come out with it, he ’ll make it all the harder on Web- ster. ” “ I do n’t think he saw anything. ” “ Did n’t he?
umn.31951002309740r	If she did not suspect Webster, whom did she suspect?
umn.31951002309740r	In fact, according to my information, he needs it now. ” “ Well, did he kill the woman, expecting to find it in her stocking?
umn.31951002309740r	In- stead, he inquired: “ And that Simplifies things?
umn.31951002309740r	Is it a bargain, Miss Sloane?
umn.31951002309740r	Is it worth while for me to go into Washing- ton?
umn.31951002309740r	Is n’t that it, Miss Sloane? ” “ Yes — practically. ” “ Let ’s be clear on that.
umn.31951002309740r	Is n’t the judge here?
umn.31951002309740r	Is that what you mean? ” “ I ’ll be honest with you, ” Hatings admitted, unmoved by the other ’s grand manner.
umn.31951002309740r	It was darker there, I thought, than it had been under the trees on the south side. ”- “ How long had you'been out then, al- together?
umn.31951002309740r	It ’s got a lumi- nous dial. ”, “ You were then at the gate near where she was found, dead?
umn.31951002309740r	Judge Wil- ton tell you about that?
umn.31951002309740r	Know her well?
umn.31951002309740r	May I count on you for that?
umn.31951002309740r	Mr. Sheriff — am I inter- rupting a private confernce? ”'“ Fiery fiends! ” wailed Sloane.
umn.31951002309740r	Mrs. Brace, without speaking, without ac- knowledging his quiet “ Mrs. Brace, I believe?
umn.31951002309740r	Next, he sharpened the end of the file — put a razor edge on it.—Where did you get this, Mr. Crown?
umn.31951002309740r	No — I discharged her. ” “ What for?
umn.31951002309740r	Nothing to make you, us, more suspicious of Mr. Webster? ” “ Suspect Berne!
umn.31951002309740r	Now, cool your flushed face in this thin, very thin stream of a breeze — feel it?
umn.31951002309740r	Of what value are the wild ideas of a nervous man, all to pieces anyway, when he stumbles on a dead woman in the middle of the night?
umn.31951002309740r	One of them asked him: “ Can you tell us why you followed'her out here?
umn.31951002309740r	Or did she have more direct in- formation from Sloanehurst than he had thought possible?
umn.31951002309740r	See any significance in that? ” he cbn- eluded, with irony.
umn.31951002309740r	See anything else? ” Hastings I urged.
umn.31951002309740r	See that?
umn.31951002309740r	Serious saints! — Jarvis, the eau de cologne!—Y0u think I d'on’t know it?
umn.31951002309740r	She asked: “ And you want — what?
umn.31951002309740r	She turned to Wilton: “ I ask you again, will you help me as I asked you?
umn.31951002309740r	She whispered, sharp and quick, ‘ Who ’s that?
umn.31951002309740r	So far, Tom, you ’re mixed up in ” “ Why ca n’t you wait until he ’s through? ” Wilton objected roughly.
umn.31951002309740r	So you saw her?
umn.31951002309740r	THE BREAKING DOWN OF WEBSTER 113 “ What do you mean?
umn.31951002309740r	Take it to her myself?
umn.31951002309740r	Tell me: do you think anybody here at Sloanehurst is responsible for this murder?
umn.31951002309740r	That right?
umn.31951002309740r	That so?
umn.31951002309740r	That suggest anything to you?
umn.31951002309740r	That was what you intended to give me in con- fidence, was n’t it?
umn.31951002309740r	That ’s a fair assumption, ai n’t it?
umn.31951002309740r	That ’s what they hired him for — isn’t it? ” “ I guess it is — by gravy!
umn.31951002309740r	The absolute secrecy required, the fact that you buy her Silence, pay her to cease her accusations against Berne — don’t you see?
umn.31951002309740r	The guest- rooms up- stairs — have the servants straightened them up this morning? ” They had not, she told him.
umn.31951002309740r	The judge and I were looking at each other across somebody lying on the ground, face upward. ” “ Either of you cry out?
umn.31951002309740r	The nail file was missing from his dresing case. ” “ What else?
umn.31951002309740r	There was n’t time for any explanation —-specially. ” “ But you do know her?
umn.31951002309740r	They do n’t call you ‘ Hard Tom Wilton ’ for nothing, do they?
umn.31951002309740r	They seem to be on your side. ” “ Well?
umn.31951002309740r	They ’d have thrown ‘ off that Hub Hill mud pretty quick, would n’t they?
umn.31951002309740r	This morning I thought you heard me when I asked him not to let it be known that our engagement was broken?
umn.31951002309740r	To her, Mrs. Brace was a figure of sinister power, an agent of ugliness, waiting to do evil — waiting for what?
umn.31951002309740r	Was n’t I ill?
umn.31951002309740r	Was n’t he following her?
umn.31951002309740r	Was n’t that it? ” “ Yes; it was, ” she admitted, not seeing where his question led.
umn.31951002309740r	Was there no such postoflice as Pursuit?
umn.31951002309740r	Was this his method of hiding facts in his possession?
umn.31951002309740r	Wasn‘t that it?
umn.31951002309740r	We came from Chi- cago. ” “ Any friends here — have you any friends here?

umn.31951002309740r	What are you trying to do — make people sus- pect me of the murder — make ’em suspect Berne?"
umn.31951002309740r	What caused the fear which, at the beginning of their inter- view, had been so apparent?
umn.31951002309740r	What could he hope to get from her except that which she wanted to tell?
umn.31951002309740r	What did he say?
umn.31951002309740r	What do they mean, his game?
umn.31951002309740r	What do you know — specially?
umn.31951002309740r	What if Mrs. Brace did take the marked money?
umn.31951002309740r	What if Webster ’s, too, were miss- ing?

umn.31951002309740r	What were they?
umn.31951002309740r	What would that show?

umn.31951002309740r	Why do n’t you look into that alibi? ”,\ Crown was irritated again.
umn.31951002309740r	Why is he afraid of that?
umn.31951002309740r	Why is n’t it his game to peruade you of my secret knowledge of Gene ’s guilt?
umn.31951002309740r	Why would n’t I do as you ask — exactly as you ask? ” She tantalized him.
umn.31951002309740r	Why ’d he refuse to testify be- fore the coroner, then?
umn.31951002309740r	Why ’s that? ” “ Tell me what ’s on that paper, ” Webster said hoarsely, as if he had not heard the colloquy of the other two.
umn.31951002309740r	Why, then, is n’t it his game to convince you of Gene ’s guilt?
umn.31951002309740r	Why, then, this anxiety which had driven her to him for help?
umn.31951002309740r	Will you keep quiet? ’ he repeated two or three times.
umn.31951002309740r	Will you?
umn.31951002309740r	Wo n’t you believe me?
umn.31951002309740r	Wo n’t you come in here? ” She preceded him into the parlour across the hall.
umn.31951002309740r	Would people say that Webster had given himself away in advance?
umn.31951002309740r	Would you?
umn.31951002309740r	You came to see me? ” “ Yes; and, like her, for information.
umn.31951002309740r	You mean the sound of a fall?
umn.31951002309740r	You mean you employed her eight months although he was incompetent?
umn.31951002309740r	You re- alize what my job is — do you?
umn.31951002309740r	You recognize the force of that, do n’t you? ” “ Why, yes, Hastings. ” Wilton spoke impa- tiently this time.
umn.31951002309740r	You saw her — understand what I mean? ” “ Perfectly, ” agreed Hastings.
umn.31951002309740r	You see?
umn.31951002309740r	You seem to acknowledge in advance the guilt of one of you. ” “ Are n’t you mistaken about that?
umn.31951002309740r	You think Web- ster ’s guilty?
umn.31951002309740r	You told us all you knew — in the library?
umn.31951002309740r	You want me to take any questions to him for you?
umn.31951002309740r	You were still in the library. ” “ Where was it? ” “ About fifteen or twenty feet from the body.
umn.31951002309740r	You will give me anything, and all the things, that may come to your knowledge as the investigation proceeds?
umn.31951002309740r	You wo n’t pay any attention to Arthur ’s unreasonable attitude, will you?
umn.31951002309740r	Your charge is just what?
umn.31951002309740r	\ “ Now, ” Hastings began, in genial tone; “ did you get anything from him? ” “ Not a dad- blamed thing!
umn.31951002309740r	f ‘ How?
umn.31951002309740r	may ask you a few questions then?
umn.31951002309740r	that?
umn.31951002309740r	— What do you think of that?
umn.31951002309740r	’ I thought you were making me the victim of your ridicule, some heartless joke. ” “ Then, we can come to an agreement?
umn.31951002309740r	’ We did n’t say much while we were looking for the wound. ” “ Did you tell Judge Wilton you knew her? ” “ N 0.
umn.31951002309740r	“ About eleven; a few minutes after I ’d gone up to bed. ” “ So she was killed between eleven and mid- night? ” “ No doubt about that.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Again?
umn.31951002309740r	“ All alone — may I ask? ” He went toward the chairs by the window.
umn.31951002309740r	“ And remember that what I say is ideas only, not knowledge?
umn.31951002309740r	“ And say nothing about my speaking of it — absolutely nothing to anybody?
umn.31951002309740r	“ And yet, it ’s your business to inspect and deliver the household ’s mail?
umn.31951002309740r	“ And you want what, Mr. Hastings?
umn.31951002309740r	“ And you ’ve taken matters into your own hands — Did your father send you here —— to me?
umn.31951002309740r	“ And you? ” Hastings delayed her knock.
umn.31951002309740r	“ And, ” she continued, with intense malignity, “ what was so monstrous in my asking him for money?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Any news? ” the judge'asked him.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Anybody move her hat before I came out?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Are you working on that ” — — he hesitated hardly perceptibly — “ idea?
umn.31951002309740r	“ But do n’t you see, Mr. Hastings?
umn.31951002309740r	“ But my distress, my own hurt pride — ” ‘ “ What did your father say about Mildred Brace?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Ca n’t you see the boy ’s sufiering?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Could it be possible, ” he put the inquiry “ THE WHOLE TRUTH ” 233 at last, “ that he knew her before the murder?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Crown, the sheriff, accomplished it four days ago, I ’m credibly informed. ” “ He made a mistake. ” “ Ah?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Did you ask the judge about it? ” he in- quired.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Did you know Mildred Brace intended to clear out, leave Washington, today? ” “ Why, no! ” Webster shot that out in genu- ine surprise.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Did you think that, judge? ” the detective persisted.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Did you find any weapon?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Do n’t you see what I mean? ” Lucille in- sisted.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Do you care to ask anything more? ” she inquired, impersonal as ashes.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Does that writing mean anything to you, Mrs. Brace?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Does — didn’t anybody here know this woman?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Eh? ” said Crown, chin fallen.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Find anything? ” “ I should say!
umn.31951002309740r	“ For what?
umn.31951002309740r	“ From the house — down the slope, toward the little gate that opens on the road. ” “ Then what?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Granting your absurd theory, ” she con- tinued, “ why should I have feared him?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Have you a hand- mirror?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Have you any idea, Mrs. Brace, as to who killed your daughter — or could have wanted to kill her?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Have you kept back anything else? ” he de- manded.
umn.31951002309740r	“ He said his first idea, the one that made him think of Lucille, was that Arthur might have had something to do with the murder. ” “ Why?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Here, Mr. Sloane, ” he ordered, “ hold that torch closer, will you?
umn.31951002309740r	“ How about Arthur?
umn.31951002309740r	“ How do you know that?
umn.31951002309740r	“ How long ago? ” Wilton answered that: “ A few minutes, hardly five minutes.
umn.31951002309740r	“ How much, Miss Sloane, do you think my silence is worth? ” Lucille took a roll of bills from her handbag.
umn.31951002309740r	“ How much? ” she asked at last, her lips thickening.
umn.31951002309740r	“ How?
umn.31951002309740r	“ I said, on the ’ phone, it was something of advantage to you — didn’t I?
umn.31951002309740r	“ If I‘d do what?
umn.31951002309740r	“ If you thought I’d — what?
umn.31951002309740r	“ In the grey envelope?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Is n’t that so, judge? ” “ Quite, ” Wilton agreed, pausing to remove his cigar from his mouth.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Is that what they ’re saying?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Is this the flap of that envelope; or, better still, are these fragments of words and the word ‘ Pursuit ’ in your daughter ’s handwriting?
umn.31951002309740r	“ May I come in?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Might that be the flap of that grey envel- ope?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Money?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Now that we understand each other, Mrs. Brace, what do you say? ” Mrs. Brace thought again.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Now, I ask you, as a lawyer and a sensible man, who ’s going to believe that she came out here without having notified you of her coming?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Now, Mr. astings, v what can I do for — tell you?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Now, ” he asked her, “ what can you tell us about that letter?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Oh, do n’t you see?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Oh, yes; lucky the rain stopped when it did. ” “ When did it stop — out here? ” Crown in- quired.
umn.31951002309740r	“ On whom?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Several years ago, ” Hastings goaded, so that Webster pivoted on his heel to face him; “ you lost yours when?—last night?—this morning?
umn.31951002309740r	“ She must! ” 7 “ And you think she will? ” “ Miss Sloane, I know she will, ” he said, a fatherly encouragement in his voice.
umn.31951002309740r	“ So you think she lied about that letter?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Tell all I know? ” “ That is, if you do know anything you have n’t told! ” Lucille urged her.
umn.31951002309740r	“ That would be Russell ’s game, would n’t it?
umn.31951002309740r	“ That ’s all right, far as it goes, ” Hastings said; “ but does he identify that man as Rus- sell? ” “ To the last hair on his head!
umn.31951002309740r	“ That ’s why I asked you. ” “ Why?
umn.31951002309740r	“ The matter of personal feeling?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Then, you agree with me?
umn.31951002309740r	“ This Mr. Otis, Mr. Russell; where is he?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Waiting, are you?
umn.31951002309740r	“ We can get down to business, at once. ” “ What business?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What are you going to do — now that you know?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What are you laughing at? ” she demanded.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What do you mean? ” he asked.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What do you stick to that for?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What do you suspect? ” “ Let me answer that with a question, ” he suggested.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What fair play?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What have you got to say? ” “ Much! ” returned Wilton.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What is it?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What makes you say that?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What more do you want, to prove his guilt, his abominable guilt?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What time did you go out? ” asked Hastings.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What were they do~ ing?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What ’s got into you, anyway?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What ’s he doing?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What ’s the use?
umn.31951002309740r	“ What ’s wrong? ” Hastings demanded, reach- ing for his spectacles.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What ’s your object, Hastings? ” he de- manded, springing from his chair.
umn.31951002309740r	“ What, Mr. Hastings?
umn.31951002309740r	“ When?
umn.31951002309740r	“ When? ” he asked.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Which way did the footsteps go?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who did, judge?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who found her?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who is she?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who told you about — the whispering?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who was this passenger?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who ’s guilty?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Who, then? ” he pressed her, realizing now that she was so unstrung she would give him her thoughts unguarded.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Why do you want me here then?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Why should I have wanted to do any such thing? ” She replied.
umn.31951002309740r	“ Why would n’t he have had the same motive, hatred of Mildred Brace, a thousand times stronger?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Why?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Why?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Why?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Wo n’t you see that those rooms are left exactly as they are until I can have a look at them?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Yes?
umn.31951002309740r	“ Yes?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You know Mrs. Brace, then?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You know he ’s guilty, do n’t you?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You mean I ’m amus- ing myself, exerting myself needlessly, as a mat- ter of spite?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You mean — it is n’t enough?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You mean, ” she added quickly, eyes nar- rowed, “ I suspect — actually suspect some one in this house?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You see the blood on it?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You wanted to see me — about my daugh- ter? ” Her voice was harsh, metallic, free of emo- tion.
umn.31951002309740r	“ You wanted to see me — is there anything special? ” she asked him, immediately alert.
umn.31951002309740r	“ You wo n’t give it, 7 “ Are you quite sure you do n’t want me to give it up?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You wo n’t have to tell anybody — anybody at all — about this, will you — now?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You would n’t want to make a mistake — would you? ” Crown rose to that.
umn.31951002309740r	“ You ’ll take my ideas, my theory, work on it and never bring me into it — in any way?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You ’re making me take that action — — ai n’t you?
umn.31951002309740r	“ You ’ve subscribed to it without question. ” “ What theory?
umn.31951002309740r	“ ‘ Simplifies things? ’ I should say so!
umn.31951002309740r	” Hastings thought: “ He ’s scared stiff, but tell- ing the truth — so far. ” “ All right; what next?
umn.31951002309740r	” Hastings thought: “ He ’s up that gum stump of his again, and do n’t know how to quit talk-?
umn.31951002309740r	” I said, ‘ How is she hurt?
umn.31951002309740r	” In his turn, he was non- committal, retOrting: “ Do n’t you?
umn.31951002309740r	” THE BRIBE 217 “ I wondered if you would n’t stop your in- terviews — your accusations?

umn.31951002309740r	” “ Excellent, ” assured Hastings, and put in a suggestion: “ You ’ve heard of the fleeting foot- steps Miss Sloane reported?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Have you seen him?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ I remember the judge said, ‘ Is she dead? ’ 28 “ NO CLUE!

umn.31951002309740r	” “ No; not that exactly. ” “ A footstep?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Not much. ” “ Well, what?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ That I know who the guilty man is ” “ Well? ” He was still on guard.
umn.31951002309740r	” “ To do what, exactly? ” “ Oh- h- h! ” The exclamation had the hint of 38 “ NO CLUE!
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Until two weeks ago. ” “ She resign?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ We- ell — yes, sir; that ’s about it, I guess. ” “ Did Miss Brace tell you she was coming to Sloanehurst?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Well, what of it?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ What do you mean by ‘ again ’?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ What ’s the matter with me?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Who reached the body first?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Why? ” Russell echoed, like a man seeking time for deliberation.
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Yes, Miss Sloane? ” He turned and faced her.
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Yes, Sir. ” “ What became of it, then — the grey envel- ope?
umn.31951002309740r	” “ Yes; that was it. ” “ Now, what was that apparently incrimi- nating incident?
umn.31951002309740r	”'“ How ’s that? ” Wilton countered.
umn.31951002309740r	”(( Yes-77 “ Why did you think she was in love with Mr. Webster, Mr. Russell?
umn.31951002309740r	”, “ No; I think not. ” “ Was he agitated, disturbed?

uva.x000980820	Ah, but you wo n't be here to hear the praise heaped upon me, so what's the use?

uva.x000980820	Am I being questioned,he said,"and by you?
uva.x000980820	And Mr. Carleton — has he a high temper?
uva.x000980820	And did he succeed in this?
uva.x000980820	And do you see any blood on the right hand of Miss Van Norman?
uva.x000980820	And every night you make sure that these bolts and fastenings are all secured in place?
uva.x000980820	And how did the acquaintance come about?
uva.x000980820	And in consequence of that discovery she willed you this house at her death?
uva.x000980820	And remained there?
uva.x000980820	And that was at quarter after eleven?
uva.x000980820	And then she dismissed you?
uva.x000980820	And then what happened?
uva.x000980820	And then you went into the library?
uva.x000980820	And then?
uva.x000980820	And this Miss Burt — did she return Carleton's regard?
uva.x000980820	And turned on the lights?
uva.x000980820	And was Carleton devoted to her?
uva.x000980820	And what did you do next?
uva.x000980820	And what in the world is a cachou? uva.x000980820 And what was Schuyler's attitude toward her?"
uva.x000980820	And when you entered you discovered the tragedy in the library?
uva.x000980820	And why are you afraid?
uva.x000980820	And you do n't know who this rival is?
uva.x000980820	And you have no idea how he was occupied from ten o'clock, on?
uva.x000980820	And you left Mr. Carleton at ten o'clock?
uva.x000980820	And you wrote it meaning yourself? uva.x000980820 And you, being a little, kittenish girl, said yes?"
uva.x000980820	Are you afraid of them, Miss Dupuy?
uva.x000980820	Are you imagining all this,he said,"or is it true?"
uva.x000980820	Are you looking for me?
uva.x000980820	Are you sure he has n't?
uva.x000980820	At what time did Miss Van Norman dismiss you?
uva.x000980820	At what time did you go to the library last evening?
uva.x000980820	At what time was this?
uva.x000980820	But can you arrive anywhere on such a prosaic steed?
uva.x000980820	But how can I help it?
uva.x000980820	But how could anybody get in the cellar?
uva.x000980820	But that was on purpose to annoy him?
uva.x000980820	But this fine modern hotel of yours is not as old as that?
uva.x000980820	But who do you think did it? uva.x000980820 But who would do such a thing?
uva.x000980820	But why did you not volunteer the informa- tion? uva.x000980820 But why had he need to prove it, and to you?"
uva.x000980820	But you did not know of it, and the reading of the will was to you a surprise?
uva.x000980820	But, truly, I'm'most always right; are n't you?
uva.x000980820	By whom?
uva.x000980820	Can no one, then,he said again,"assert or suggest anything that may have any bearing on this written message?"
uva.x000980820	Did Miss Van Norman ever, in the slightest way, express any intention or desire to end her life?
uva.x000980820	Did Miss Van Norman know this?
uva.x000980820	Did she seem about as usual in her manner?
uva.x000980820	Did this often occur?
uva.x000980820	Did you ever hear of Dorothy Burt?
uva.x000980820	Did you expect to see Miss Van Norman when you entered the house with the latch- key?
uva.x000980820	Did you go away from this house with the other guests at about ten o'clock last evening?
uva.x000980820	Did you go directly from the library to your own room?
uva.x000980820	Did you have any reason to fear this?
uva.x000980820	Did you hear Mr. Carleton's cry for help?
uva.x000980820	Did you hear any sounds that caused you alarm?
uva.x000980820	Did you know that you were to inherit this house and a large sum of money at Miss Van Norman's death?
uva.x000980820	Did you retire at once?
uva.x000980820	Did you touch her?
uva.x000980820	Do n't hesitate,he said gently;"what is it, Miss Van Norman?

uva.x000980820	I was afraid — afraid they might connect Mr. Carleton with the murder, and I was afraid"You were afraid that he really had done the deed?
uva.x000980820	If not intrusive, Mrs. Markham, wo n't you tell me how it comes about that Miss Morton inher- its this beautiful house? uva.x000980820 In the third story?"
uva.x000980820	Is it your duty to lock up the house at night?
uva.x000980820	Is n't it awful?
uva.x000980820	Is n't it unlikely,said Fleming Stone quietly,"that a noted burglar should enter a house and commit murder, without making any attempt to steal?"
uva.x000980820	Is that all?
uva.x000980820	Is that latch- key your own property?
uva.x000980820	Is the house fitted with burglar alarms?
uva.x000980820	Is this Doctor Hills?
uva.x000980820	It is SUICIDE OR? uva.x000980820 It's all right, old boy, of course,"said Carle- ton,"but did you have any reason for flouting poor little Dorothy like that?"
uva.x000980820	Maddy did n't write that? uva.x000980820 Madeleine?
uva.x000980820	May I introduce myself?
uva.x000980820	Miss Dupuy,he said very earnestly,"wo n't you look upon me as a friend instead of a foe?
uva.x000980820	Miss Van Norman, then, knew of your friend- ship with her uncle, and the reason of its cessa- tion?
uva.x000980820	Mr. Carleton's actions?
uva.x000980820	Mr. Fessenden was with you?
uva.x000980820	Mrs. Carleton and Mr. Fessenden went to their rooms at the same time?
uva.x000980820	Must I answer that?
uva.x000980820	No; who is she?
uva.x000980820	Oh, Mr. Willard,said Kitty,"who do you think wrote that paper?"
uva.x000980820	Oh, a,cried Kitty,"do you know this, or are you only surmising it?"
uva.x000980820	Oh, do n't you see? uva.x000980820 Oh, is she hurt?
uva.x000980820	On the eve of the wedding day? uva.x000980820 Ou est Made- moiselle?"
uva.x000980820	She was kind to you?
uva.x000980820	She was not in love with Willard?
uva.x000980820	Some of us?
uva.x000980820	That is, I could n't believe it, only, what else can I think? uva.x000980820 The house is mine; why should I not be mistress here?"
uva.x000980820	The message from this house?
uva.x000980820	Then he cared more for her in time past?
uva.x000980820	Then no burglar could come up through the cellar way?
uva.x000980820	Then what about her burning that will as soon as Miss Van Norman was dead?
uva.x000980820	Then when at last you saw Miss Van Norman in the library, what did you do?
uva.x000980820	Then why did n't you go on in and get it? uva.x000980820 Then why was Carle- ton marrying her?"
uva.x000980820	Then why was she marrying him?
uva.x000980820	Then you have no suspicion of any one?
uva.x000980820	Then you have not heard?
uva.x000980820	Then you know the words on the paper,—by rote?
uva.x000980820	Then, why did n't he catch the burglar?
uva.x000980820	Then, will you state as exactly as you can the hour at which you entered the front door?
uva.x000980820	Then,went on Fessenden,"will you tell me all you know of the movements of Mr. Willard last evening?"
uva.x000980820	To make a call?' uva.x000980820 Unhappy?
uva.x000980820	Upon this secret errand?
uva.x000980820	Was he kind to her?
uva.x000980820	Was it not your duty to tell Madeleine this?
uva.x000980820	Was it your intention when you went away in the afternoon to return later?
uva.x000980820	Was she with you after dinner?
uva.x000980820	Well, it is n't suspicion, is it? uva.x000980820 Well, what do you want?"
uva.x000980820	Well?
uva.x000980820	Well?
uva.x000980820	Well?' uva.x000980820 Were you not in attendance upon her?"
uva.x000980820	Were you too late?
uva.x000980820	Were you with Miss Burt until the time of your going over to the Van Norman house?
uva.x000980820	What are you doing?
uva.x000980820	What can have happened?
uva.x000980820	What did Mr. Carleton say?
uva.x000980820	What did she say?
uva.x000980820	What did you do there?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean, Miss French? uva.x000980820 What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?
uva.x000980820	What is it, Marie?
uva.x000980820	What is it?
uva.x000980820	What is it?
uva.x000980820	What is it?
uva.x000980820	What kind of a thing do you expect to find?
uva.x000980820	What other will?
uva.x000980820	What was the errand?
uva.x000980820	What was the tenor of your conversation with Mr. Carleton in the rose garden?
uva.x000980820	What were your duties?
uva.x000980820	What's the matter with Madeleine?
uva.x000980820	What?
uva.x000980820	What?
uva.x000980820	When did she go?
uva.x000980820	When did you write it?
uva.x000980820	When you left Mr. Carleton,he went on,"did you know he was about to come over here to Miss Van Norman's?"
uva.x000980820	Where are you going, Miss Dupuy?
uva.x000980820	Where did you get these, my boy?
uva.x000980820	Where did you go?
uva.x000980820	Where were you?
uva.x000980820	Who can tell what a hysterical, jealous woman will do?
uva.x000980820	Who first appeared in answer to your call?
uva.x000980820	Who is this other?
uva.x000980820	Who says I did?
uva.x000980820	Who sent you? uva.x000980820 Who will have this?"
uva.x000980820	Whose duty is it?
uva.x000980820	Why did n't he love her?
uva.x000980820	Why did you not tell before that you wrote this paper supposed to have been written by Miss Van Norman?
uva.x000980820	Why did you so hesitate a moment ago, when I asked you to tell this?
uva.x000980820	Why did you want that?
uva.x000980820	Why did you write it?
uva.x000980820	Why do you say in that particular position?
uva.x000980820	Why do you say'if he killed her'? uva.x000980820 Why not?
uva.x000980820	Why not?
uva.x000980820	Why should I speak of what does n't exist? uva.x000980820 Why should she doit?"
uva.x000980820	Why should she have thought you did n't?
uva.x000980820	Why should she want it?
uva.x000980820	Why were you two not here to dinner with Miss Van Norman?
uva.x000980820	Why?
uva.x000980820	Will somebody please ask Miss Dupuy to come here?
uva.x000980820	Will you please call Harris at once?
uva.x000980820	Will you tell us why Miss Van Norman chose to leave you so large a bequest, when she had known you so slightly?
uva.x000980820	Will you tell what you know concerning Mr. Carleton's entrance last night?
uva.x000980820	Without stopping in any other room on the way?
uva.x000980820	You are sure you've overlooked no way? uva.x000980820 You are sure, Marie?"
uva.x000980820	You are sure, Mr. Hunt, that your statement as to the time is correct?
uva.x000980820	You can testify, then, that the house could not have been entered by a burglar last night?
uva.x000980820	You could discern, then, that it was the shov- elling of coal or the fastening of windows that you heard?
uva.x000980820	You had no intimation of it whatever?
uva.x000980820	You have been Miss Van Norman's secretary for some time?
uva.x000980820	You have been employed in this house for some years?
uva.x000980820	You have many guests?
uva.x000980820	You knew at once that Miss Van Norman was not alive?
uva.x000980820	You knew who it was that had called out so loudly?
uva.x000980820	You left him at ten o'clock, then, and did not see him again that night?
uva.x000980820	You looked after them last night, as usual?
uva.x000980820	You made a careful examination of them?
uva.x000980820	You said good- night to Mr. Carleton at what time, then?
uva.x000980820	You spent the entire evening at home, then?
uva.x000980820	You thought, then, that Miss Van Norman wrote the message?
uva.x000980820	You went to your room when the others did, at about ten o'clock?
uva.x000980820	You were with Miss Van Norman in the library last evening?
uva.x000980820	You're a very intimate friend of Mr. Carle- 80 THE CLUE ton's, are n't you?
uva.x000980820	You're not, are you?
uva.x000980820	You've lived here a long time, then?
uva.x000980820	Your name is Harris?
uva.x000980820	Your name?
uva.x000980820	Your name?
uva.x000980820	Your occupation?
uva.x000980820	128 THE CLUE"Can you tell me if the house is carefully locked at night?"
uva.x000980820	135 186 THE CLUE"And then?"
uva.x000980820	152 THE CLUE Could it be guilt?
uva.x000980820	212 THE CLUE"Miss Morton?"
uva.x000980820	216 THE CLUE What else would she take from Maddy's desk and burn except a will?
uva.x000980820	296 THE CLUE"How did you find it out so quickly?"
uva.x000980820	59"A very wise precaution, Mrs. Markham,"said Doctor Hills;"and why did you leave your post, my man?"
uva.x000980820	64 THE CLUE Who is the man in the hall?
uva.x000980820	A SOFT LEAD PENCIL 115"Who is the S. mentioned on this paper?"
uva.x000980820	Am I wrong in thinking you are keeping something back?"
uva.x000980820	And Madeleine must love him, or why should she marry him?
uva.x000980820	And first of all, was Miss Van Norman in love with Carleton?"
uva.x000980820	And was he really a mere fortune- hunter?
uva.x000980820	And what for?"
uva.x000980820	And what was he doing in that incriminating interval, and why would n't he tell?
uva.x000980820	And yet might it not be merely a kind consideration for those who were nearer and dearer to the principals of this awful tragedy?
uva.x000980820	Anything more, sir?"
uva.x000980820	Are they good to eat?"
uva.x000980820	At last Schuyler Carleton, with an evident effort, said suddenly,"Ought n't we to send for Tom Willard?"
uva.x000980820	At that time, I had n't met Miss Burt, and had never heard of her, so I said:'No; who is she?'
uva.x000980820	Besides, Mr. Hunt would have heard any intruder prowling around; and then again, how could he have gone out?
uva.x000980820	But does it not seem to you there are some questions to be answered concerning Miss Dupuy?"
uva.x000980820	But does n't that prove her anxious about the- girl, if not really jealous?"
uva.x000980820	But have I your permission to put a few questions to Miss Burt, not in your presence?"
uva.x000980820	But if not he, then who?
uva.x000980820	But in that case what was she afraid of, and why was she running away?
uva.x000980820	But now will you give me yours, based, not on the written paper, but the position and general effect of the body of Miss Van Norman?"
uva.x000980820	But she said to me, with real agitation,'Do you know Dorothy Burt?'
uva.x000980820	But what does that prove?"
uva.x000980820	But why did n't he steal things?
uva.x000980820	But you were jealous of Willard?"
uva.x000980820	But — in view of something Miss Van Norman said to me yesterday — can it be it was only yesterday? — the matter becomes serious."
uva.x000980820	But, then, who did do it?"
uva.x000980820	By the way, I met Miss Burt there; do you know her?"
uva.x000980820	By the way, what were you doing in those few minutes last night between your entering the house and entering the library?"
uva.x000980820	Ca n't you try to give a more successful imitation of a coroner's jury?"
uva.x000980820	Can you arrange that I shall have an interview with Miss Dupuy?"
uva.x000980820	Can you deny it?"
uva.x000980820	Can you describe them?"
uva.x000980820	Carleton?"
uva.x000980820	Carleton?"
uva.x000980820	Could she?
uva.x000980820	Dare we disregard her last message, written in explanation of her otherwise inexplicable act?
uva.x000980820	Did you dine with him?"
uva.x000980820	Did you know she was unhappy?"
uva.x000980820	Do n't you always, in detective work, look for the motive?"
uva.x000980820	Do you want to know what I did during that interval?"
uva.x000980820	Does this interest you?"
uva.x000980820	Even if she had been so in- clined, how could she have entered the house?
uva.x000980820	FESSENDEN COMES 86"Why are they going to have an inquest?"
uva.x000980820	FESSENDEN COMES 87"May I learn the details of the case?
uva.x000980820	Fessenden returned the nod, and even gave Kitty a faint smile, for who could look at that lovely face without a pleasant recognition of some sort?
uva.x000980820	Fessenden, aside from all else, how can people think I killed the woman who loved me as she did?"
uva.x000980820	Fessenden?"
uva.x000980820	Has some one else con- fessed?"
uva.x000980820	Have I permission?"
uva.x000980820	Have you any suggestion to advance?"
uva.x000980820	Have you been long acquainted with Miss Van Norman?"
uva.x000980820	Have you proved it?
uva.x000980820	I followed her,—but secretly,—and I — shall I tell you what she did?"
uva.x000980820	I hate to ask you, Tom, but could you go to the Inn?"
uva.x000980820	If you came into this house at quarter after eleven, and rang the bells for help at half- past eleven, what were you doing in the mean- time?"
uva.x000980820	In view of the importance of this written message, should it not be more carefully proved that this writing is really Miss Van Norman's own?"
uva.x000980820	Is he not already telling you himself?"
uva.x000980820	Is n't it awful?
uva.x000980820	Is she a relative of the Van Normans?"
uva.x000980820	Is this written in Miss Van Norman's hand?"
uva.x000980820	It is for us to decide whether she did or did not bring about her own death, and as a mode of procedure may I suggest this?
uva.x000980820	Killed herself?"
uva.x000980820	Markham?"
uva.x000980820	May I go into the library?"
uva.x000980820	May I not be left alone to go where I choose?"
uva.x000980820	Might he, after all, be mistaken in his estimate of Schuyler Carleton, and might Mrs. Markham's suggestion have even a foundation of probability?
uva.x000980820	Miss Dupuy, did you hear Mr. Carleton come in?"
uva.x000980820	My innocence?"
uva.x000980820	No; why should she be?
uva.x000980820	Now tell me what you were doing last evening before you went over to the house?"
uva.x000980820	Now, will you not help me to do so?"
uva.x000980820	Np back window, or seldom- used door?"
uva.x000980820	Of what do you accuse me?"
uva.x000980820	Oh, Mr. Fessenden, do you think he killed our Madeleine?"
uva.x000980820	Ought I to give over the reins of government at once to Miss Morton?"
uva.x000980820	Rob set them aside for her, while Stone said quietly,"Those andirons were probably not there that night?"
uva.x000980820	SOME TESTIMONY 137"Which you had written yourself?"
uva.x000980820	SUICIDE OR?
uva.x000980820	SUICIDE OR?
uva.x000980820	She did not tell him of the tragedy, but only asked him to come over to the SUICIDE OR?
uva.x000980820	She fidgeted about, SUICIDE OR?
uva.x000980820	She looked up with a start, and said in a low voice,"Why do you follow me?
uva.x000980820	So he turned partly round, and, fixing his gaze on the stolid red barn, said abruptly:"Who wrote that paper?"
uva.x000980820	So how can we give any evidence?"
uva.x000980820	So please tell me frankly at what time you saw Mr. Carleton come into the house last night?"
uva.x000980820	Suicide or?
uva.x000980820	THE CARLETON HOUSEHOLD 195"Could she?"
uva.x000980820	THE WILL 129"There are strong bolts to doors and win- dows?"
uva.x000980820	THE WILL 131"And the windows on the second floor — are they fastened at night?"
uva.x000980820	Tell me, clearly, what did you do in that short interval?"
uva.x000980820	That ai n't no harm, is it?"
uva.x000980820	That baby- girl?
uva.x000980820	That child?
uva.x000980820	Then I saw the dagger on the floor at her feet""On the floor?"
uva.x000980820	Then came the next thought: how came the game so fortuitously into her own hands?
uva.x000980820	Then, pulling himself together with an effort, he seemed to dash away a tear, and walked into the room, saying almost harshly,"What does it mean?"
uva.x000980820	Then, you see, he did n't think it honorable to refuse to marry her, and she""He had asked her, then, to give him back his freedom?"
uva.x000980820	There's not much more to say, is there?"
uva.x000980820	This feminine absence of logic was unremarked by her hearers, who both said,"Why?"
uva.x000980820	Tom Willard was a large, stout man, and pos- SUICIDE OR?
uva.x000980820	Was it, even indirectly, due to her own instigation?
uva.x000980820	Was she going to make no mention of the stroll in the rose- garden?
uva.x000980820	Was that written paper an expression of your own heart's secret?"
uva.x000980820	We never thought to look?"
uva.x000980820	What could the papers have been?"
uva.x000980820	What do you call it?"
uva.x000980820	What do you mean?"
uva.x000980820	What do you think, Doctor Leonard?"
uva.x000980820	What else could have happened?
uva.x000980820	What is it for?"
uva.x000980820	What is it?"
uva.x000980820	What made you tell that falsehood, and stick to it?"
uva.x000980820	What were you doing in the Van Norman house before you went into the library?"
uva.x000980820	What?
uva.x000980820	When can we see her?"
uva.x000980820	When was your first intimation that you were a beneficiary by the terms of Miss Van Norman's will?"
uva.x000980820	Who Goes There?
uva.x000980820	Who first discovered her here?"
uva.x000980820	Who is she?"
uva.x000980820	Who is she?"
uva.x000980820	Who killed her?"
uva.x000980820	Who killed her?"
uva.x000980820	Who will tell him?"
uva.x000980820	Who?"
uva.x000980820	Why did Mr. Carleton point to that paper?"
uva.x000980820	Why did you not tell us about this at first?"
uva.x000980820	Why not?
uva.x000980820	Why should I?"
uva.x000980820	Why should we do so?
uva.x000980820	Why?"
uva.x000980820	Will you answer me more straightforwardly if I assure you of my belief in your own innocence?
uva.x000980820	Will you give me some tea?"
uva.x000980820	With a conspicuous absence of tact or diplo- macy, Mr. Benson asked her abruptly,"Did you write this paper?"
uva.x000980820	With a sudden gesture he turned towards Schuyler Carleton and said in a low voice,"but you did love her, did n't you?"
uva.x000980820	With the house already in gala dress for the ceremony?"
uva.x000980820	Wo n't you help me to prove that, and to find out who did kill her?"
uva.x000980820	Would you rather not talk at all THE CARLETON HOUSEHOLD 197 about the Van Norman affair?"
uva.x000980820	Yes, but could she?
uva.x000980820	Yes, but could she?
uva.x000980820	You are sure you wrote that paper yourself?"
uva.x000980820	You did n't write it with the intent that it should be taken for Miss Van Norman's message?"
uva.x000980820	You do n't think that Dorothy had any hand in the tragedy, do you?"
uva.x000980820	You know Mr. Carleton awfully well, do n't you?
uva.x000980820	You know this?"
uva.x000980820	You want to desert this beautiful old house?
uva.x000980820	You wrote it?"

wu.89003252509	Do you mean that there is a possibility of such a wound being given by some one else? ” “ A possibility, certainly, ” I replied.
wu.89003252509	Dr. Cato, I do n't mind telling you, he put himself some years ago into the power of my cousin, james Royal. ”"How so? ” I asked.

wu.89003252509	I do n’t like it — I hope there is no mischief brewing. ” “ Mischief brewing? ” I cried.
wu.89003252509	I had discovered about the buried treasure; but what — what does the latter part mean, Dr. Cato?
wu.89003252509	I have already wired to Mr. Kelvin, and he is coming down here this evening. ” “ And your cousin? ” I said.
wu.89003252509	I have been heavily hit the last few weeks. ” “ Is the pleasure worth the loss? ” I asked.
wu.89003252509	I have just come back from Court Royal. ” “ Well?
wu.89003252509	I have no property to leave behind me, and no friends to leave it to. ” “ But what about the Diana Sapphire? ” I asked.'
wu.89003252509	I waited up for him until past midnight; he did not appear, and I went to bed. ” “ Then you never received the necklace?
wu.89003252509	I will be your guest, Dr. Cato, on a condition. ” “ What is that?

wu.89003252509	In the first place, Santos is not a man of honour. ” “ Now, what can you mean?
wu.89003252509	Into wha dreadful maze of crime had we entered?
wu.89003252509	Is he in the house at present? ” “ He is, ” I answered.
wu.89003252509	Is he likely to do her a further injury?
wu.89003252509	Is it fair that she should have to pay it back? ” In a moment he had turned upon me, his whole face distorted with the most livid passion.
wu.89003252509	Is there any chance for me, Dr. Cato?
wu.89003252509	Is — in your opinion — my father ’s insanity( for he doubtless was insane in the latter years of his life) hereditary?
wu.89003252509	It is a risk — are you prepared to run it? ” “ I certainly am.

wu.89003252509	It seems unaccountable, does it not, that with all these advantages, these showers of blessings so to speak, I am still thoroughly wretched?
wu.89003252509	It will be mine now. ” “ But surely Lady Helen will redeem it?
wu.89003252509	Let me see, what is the time? ” H glanced at the clock.
wu.89003252509	May I ask what it is?
wu.89003252509	May I ask what you two gentle- men have really come for to- day?
wu.89003252509	May I ask you two gentlemen where you came across your amiable third partner? ” His question evidently annoyed Chetwynd.
wu.89003252509	May I pursue my experiments in one of your laboratories?
wu.89003252509	May I speak to you in private for a few moments?
wu.89003252509	May I take you to a room now to wash your hands? ” I was somewhat surprised at his acting as his own servant.
wu.89003252509	May I tell you more, or would you rather be left in the dark? ” “ I am afraid I can not listen to you,"I said, after a pause.
wu.89003252509	Next week he is coming here again. ” “ The old symptoms? ” asked my brother doctor.
wu.89003252509	Now matters are reversed, and I think I am behaving extremely well to the girl by marrying her. ” “ But what does she say herself? ” I asked.
wu.89003252509	Of course, it means ” THE DEATH CHAIR I9 “ What? ” I interrupted.
wu.89003252509	Oh, Dr. Cato, wo n’t you have pity on me?
wu.89003252509	Oh, you will not refuse me?
wu.89003252509	On these lines I am working, and have been working for years. ” “ But does the legend prevent you from breaking the glass? ” I continued.
wu.89003252509	Remember three things: FINGERS — Bow- SAND. ” “ Is that the meaning? ” said the girl, with great eagerness.
wu.89003252509	Sefior Santos absolutely declined to pay one penny. ” “ And how has the debt been met? ” I asked.
wu.89003252509	Shall I send for him to come here? ” “ I should be glad to see him, ” replied the inspector.

wu.89003252509	Should I leave the veranda, go down- stairs, and make my escape?

wu.89003252509	That dream was not sent to me for nothing. ” “ Go on, ” I said, “ what followed?
wu.89003252509	The coroner is probably now at the Sign of the Dragon; will you come with me? ” “ Willingly, ” answered Sefior Santos.

wu.89003252509	What do you think of the legend, Mr. Banpfylde?
wu.89003252509	What have Fingers — Bow-—Sand to do with buried treasure? ” “ I wish I knew, ” I replied.

wu.89003252509	What mystery surrounded her past?
wu.89003252509	What of him?
wu.89003252509	What on earth for? ” I asked.
wu.89003252509	What was the mystery?
wu.89003252509	What was the story of Isobel?

wu.89003252509	Why had Sherwin died with his secret unrevealed?
wu.89003252509	Why was there no will?

wu.89003252509	Will you come with us at once to the old Roman villa?
wu.89003252509	Will you join me or not? ” “ I will join you, ” I said, slowly.
wu.89003252509	Will you, Cato, stay quietly here and watch events while I go and make inquiries?
wu.89003252509	Would she long endure the severe strain to which she was now exposed?
wu.89003252509	Would those two go out of our lives, and the tragedy which concerned them remain for ever unsolved?

wu.89003252509	“ Now may I ask you one or two questions?
wu.89003252509	“ Now, what do you suppose this all means? ” asked Chetwynd.

wu.89003252509	“ Well, ” he cried eagerly, “ have you got it? ” “ Yes, ” I replied.
wu.89003252509	“ Well, ” he said, just glancing at me as he buttoned up his shirt, “ what is your verdict? ” “ You are very ill, ” I replied.

wu.89003252509	“ What can be wrong? ” she exclaimed.

wu.89003252509	“ You expressed a wish to see me; will you take a chair? ” He bowed and dropped into the nearest seat.
wu.89003252509	“ You have heard of a Prince Rupert ’s Drop, of course?
wu.89003252509	“ You know the sefior ’s passion for curios of all sorts? ” she said.

wu.89003252509	“ You will dine?
wu.89003252509	“ You wished to see me? ” asked Kort, in a low voice.
wu.89003252509	“ You would not break your word to a dying man? ” “ I would break my word to no man, ” I answered.
wu.89003252509	“ Yours faithfully, “ HAROLD BEAUCHAMP. ” “ Why did n’t Kort mention the matter to me? ” I asked.
wu.89003252509	“ jack! ” she cried, “ how did you know we were here? ” Then she turned and intro- duced him to me.
wu.89003252509	“ ls he likely to come back?
wu.89003252509	“ ‘ Do you say so? ’ he answered, and he fixed his eyes on my face.
wu.89003252509	“ ‘ What do you mean? ’ I cried.
wu.89003252509	” I exclaimed, “ is he dead? ” “ Quite dead.

wu.89003252509	” “ And why not? ” he answered, his brow darkening, and an angry scowl passing across his features.

uc1.b3710857	And look at her opinions — is that being an honest, God- fearing woman?
uc1.b3710857	And should he want to find her?

uc1.b3710857	And — wasn’t there some confusion about the book?
uc1.b3710857	Any nooze? ” “ Not much.

uc1.b3710857	Askin ’ about proputty. ” “ Thasso?
uc1.b3710857	At least I think — and Slade says he's sure I could make lots of money in adver- tising. ” “ Oh, that's your ambition?
uc1.b3710857	Besides, what about what ‘ Podge ’ said about it not bein ’ her rele name? ” “ Well, yes, there might be a point.
uc1.b3710857	Bess, ca n't you see that you really ought not to go around there so much?
uc1.b3710857	Bessie's told you about her? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3710857	Breckinridge? ” he asked.
uc1.b3710857	But I certainly intend to remedy that. ” “ Do n’t l ” “ Why not? ” “ They're awful! ” “ I refuse to believe it! ” he laughed.

uc1.b3710857	But socially and politically and so on, does n't the country seem dead to you?
uc1.b3710857	But that teaches you something. ” “ I can see it sometime, ca n't I? ” asked Adela.
uc1.b3710857	But that's amusing too. ” “ Why?
uc1.b3710857	But they had behaved so queerly Even if they did What on earth else did they know?

uc1.b3710857	But you ca n’t tell. ” “ I suppose there's no use going up? ” asked Dr. Gedney nervously.
uc1.b3710857	But you had n't seen anything for some time, had you? ” “ Not for two years.
uc1.b3710857	But you're pretty busy, are n't you, with the office? ” “ Fairly.
uc1.b3710857	By the way, what kind of a time did you have in Tupton? ” CHRISTIAN MARTYR OF “ THE COLOSSEUM ’ ’ 123 “ Great.
uc1.b3710857	By the way, what luck about Terrill — any? ” “ Sure; that'll be fine, ” Slade answered the first question.
uc1.b3710857	By the way, you come from there do n't you? ” “ Yes.

uc1.b3710857	Ca n't you quote me some? ” “ I — I do n't think I will, if you do n't mind, so soon after Sirena, ” said Slade.
uc1.b3710857	Can it be —?

uc1.b3710857	Can you drive us?
uc1.b3710857	Come down and help lift her, will you? ” “ Sure.
uc1.b3710857	Coryat?—has said about it. ” “ You ’ve read it? ” asked Bessie in joy.
uc1.b3710857	Could he ever do an- other novel?
uc1.b3710857	Could it be possible?
uc1.b3710857	Could it be that only?
uc1.b3710857	Could it be?
uc1.b3710857	Could n't Mrs. Ventress come to dinner next Monday?
uc1.b3710857	Could that be someone moving, far off?
uc1.b3710857	Could you direct me? ” He beamed upon her.
uc1.b3710857	Dasso?
uc1.b3710857	Did I send that man's manu- script back with my letter?
uc1.b3710857	Did I? ” she half- laughed.
uc1.b3710857	Did n't I?
uc1.b3710857	Did n't they ever know what was good, though?
uc1.b3710857	Did n't they start in early this morning with the fire- crackers though?
uc1.b3710857	Did something move beneath it?
uc1.b3710857	Did that phantasmal young woman turn up to- day?
uc1.b3710857	Did they know, those people?
uc1.b3710857	Did you ever hear of Gertrude Gedney? ” “ Yes, o'course.
uc1.b3710857	Dinner?
uc1.b3710857	Do n't seem reasonable, Miss Crome. ” “ Why would it?
uc1.b3710857	Do n't she know it's hot as the hinges down here along in July? ” “ Guess she do n't.
uc1.b3710857	Do n't you know I ’m always there — quietly? ” “ Well I must say!
uc1.b3710857	Do n't you remember? ” “ Of course.
uc1.b3710857	Do n't you see that what he writes is the really important thing — not the magazine work?
uc1.b3710857	Do n't you think it was extremely rude of her the way she called so casually on Mrs. Mixter, after she'd been to dinner there?
uc1.b3710857	Do n't you? ” “ I do.
uc1.b3710857	Do you know him? ” “ I — I have some friends who do. ” The slip had been clumsy.
uc1.b3710857	Do you like flowers? ” She extended the basket.
uc1.b3710857	Do you like it? ” she added to change the subject.
uc1.b3710857	Do you mind sitting on the porch steps?
uc1.b3710857	Do you think I ’m bad?
uc1.b3710857	Do you think, ” naively, “ that I'm very bad, Flora? ” “ I think you're perfectly wonderful!'
uc1.b3710857	Do you write poetry? ” “ Oh, no.
uc1.b3710857	Drawin'pictures?
uc1.b3710857	Ever know us to agree before? ” “ Never.
uc1.b3710857	Evolution?
uc1.b3710857	Finally he brought out, “ Well — well — well, but Charle 3 y “ Yes? ” enunciated Dr. Gedney crisply.
uc1.b3710857	Fire- crackers? ” “ Fire- crackers! ” Bessie's lip curled with pleasing scorn.
uc1.b3710857	For I believe her father is very nice about it and wants her to go, when she's ready? ” “ Oh, yes, Uncle Charles is really a brick.
uc1.b3710857	Forever?
uc1.b3710857	Forever?
uc1.b3710857	French?
uc1.b3710857	Goin'home yerself? ” “ Yeah.
uc1.b3710857	Going to sleuth the author of the “ Crystal Castle ”?
uc1.b3710857	Got a car? ” “ What? ” yelled a voice back.
uc1.b3710857	Got a car? ” “ What? ” yelled a voice back.
uc1.b3710857	Got three spurs on his leg — see? ” “ My, you know a lot about them, Uncle Arthur! ” “ Oh, no.
uc1.b3710857	Guess it wo n't more'n give her a sore throat. ” “ S'pose you'd like to see me smokin'a pipe?'
uc1.b3710857	Guess you found that out before you rented her the house did n't you? ” “ Oh, sure.
uc1.b3710857	Had it been Bessie's voice?
uc1.b3710857	Had life then any genuine sequence or dignity?
uc1.b3710857	Had she a husband?
uc1.b3710857	Had she changed so much?
uc1.b3710857	Had she grown to believe it was life?
uc1.b3710857	Have a good time?
uc1.b3710857	Have a nice walk? ” he smiled.
uc1.b3710857	Have any- thin ’?
uc1.b3710857	Have n't ‘ I just been telling you that the public'll- eat up “ Rosemary and Rue ’? ” “ Yes, that's the whole trouble.
uc1.b3710857	Have you lost something? ” she called.
uc1.b3710857	Have you seen it? ” Miss Peabody had been scanning her face intently.
uc1.b3710857	He called here once — did he not?—on Gertrude — ” “ A young man?
uc1.b3710857	He had certainly seen action?
uc1.b3710857	He heard the wheezy spasmodic laughter of Syle as he descended suddenly to that old one — that very old one: “ What is mind?
uc1.b3710857	He left on the eight- ten. ” “ He said it was n't her real name? ” “ So Jason Duffitt swore to Sophia.
uc1.b3710857	He seems to have most to say. ” “ Do n’t you like Frost? ” “ Oh, of course — one could do worse than be a swinger of birches'.
uc1.b3710857	He'll write her to- morra. ” “ Warm, ai nt it? ” His wife's voice was almost wistful.
uc1.b3710857	He's a guest. ” 266 268 THE FIRST PERSON SINGULAR Everything was changed?
uc1.b3710857	He's away I understand? ” “ He will be back on Tuesday. ” “ Well, do n't let me detain you.
uc1.b3710857	He's the funniest thing about women, do n’t you think?
uc1.b3710857	Here's the gate. ” “ I am sorry. ” “ Thinking up your poem? ” “ Uh — oh, no — I was just mooning, I guess.
uc1.b3710857	Hey now, yoh Jazzbell, aincha comin'long, tall? ” The cat so continually addressed lifted large expression- less topaz eyes.
uc1.b3710857	How about Chris- tine's 2 Ever been there?
uc1.b3710857	How about that one? ” “ Oh, well, ” returned Uncle Arthur.
uc1.b3710857	How are you?
uc1.b3710857	How are you? ” “ Splendidly — now, ” he could n't help adding.
uc1.b3710857	How could he ever make her see?
uc1.b3710857	How could he explain?
uc1.b3710857	How could she ever really explain?
uc1.b3710857	How could she leave him that way? ” Then there were the usual speculations concerning what could ever have happened to her.
uc1.b3710857	How could they?
uc1.b3710857	How could you possibly be angry, however, with a man so much like a mountebank?
uc1.b3710857	How do you?
uc1.b3710857	How had the absurd rigmarole started?
uc1.b3710857	How have you been? ” “ Oh, very well, indeed.
uc1.b3710857	How in heaven's name had he managed to show her her very own problem so keenly yet so kindly?
uc1.b3710857	How long is he going to stay? ” “ Just till Monday.
uc1.b3710857	How much was he in love with her?
uc1.b3710857	How the deuce was it?
uc1.b3710857	How's the world been treatin'you anyway?
uc1.b3710857	I adore it — and his philosophically reticent way of presenting tragedy. ” “ Lindsay? ” “ Yes, certainly.
uc1.b3710857	I feel — you know how I must feel about this other — rumor — do you not? ” He bowed, courteously.
uc1.b3710857	I have n't disturbed you, have I? ” The southwest parlour was certainly much more attrac- tive.
uc1.b3710857	I know now you all know it. ” “ Assumed? ” mumbled Uncle Arthur, groping.
uc1.b3710857	I need a complete change, do n't you think, ” he laughed, “ from all these peculiar circumstances? ” Coryat smiled.
uc1.b3710857	I read it all through. ” “ Well, why should n't you? ” asked Slade defensively.
uc1.b3710857	I see no possible con- nection. ” “ You do n't?
uc1.b3710857	I thought he was sup- posed to be an Englishman, and that he is supposed to have died some years ago? ” “ So Coryat said.
uc1.b3710857	I want — where am I? ” “ Well, now, dearie, you know — something — er — hap- pened. ” The woman in the bed stared at her.
uc1.b3710857	I was certainly very pleasantly impressed by her this evening. ” “ Does he mind Bessie and her being together so much? ” “ Oh, yes.
uc1.b3710857	I was doing a little wor “ What kind of work? ”- “ Oh, a little writing.
uc1.b3710857	I wondered whether you could tell me — ” “ What was the title of it? ” 146 THE FIRST PERSON SINGULAR “ ‘ The- The Crystal Castle'.
uc1.b3710857	I ’ll have to wait till it's returned. ” “ You ’re sure — are you? ” “ About who wrote this?
uc1.b3710857	I ’ll have to wait till it's returned. ” “ You ’re sure — are you? ” “ About who wrote this?
uc1.b3710857	I ’ll see if I can get my room- mate to come along, can I?
uc1.b3710857	I'm an independent person, you know, Mr. Coryat. ” After all, why not?
uc1.b3710857	I've decided not to sell any more movie rights. ” “ Well, what is your figure? ” “ I must repeat that you misunderstand me, Mr. Seelye.
uc1.b3710857	Is n't it a nice night? ” Bessie did not answer immediately.
uc1.b3710857	Is n't it?
uc1.b3710857	Is n't something pretty real to us too?
uc1.b3710857	Is n't that ridiculous?
uc1.b3710857	Is n’t it reasonable? ” She paused dramatically.
uc1.b3710857	Is that all? ” And Barrington Tudor Brush was a stickler for little amenities in the office.
uc1.b3710857	It has n't hurt anybody, has it? ” Again her face turned to him.
uc1.b3710857	It is, of course. ” “ What were his reasons? ” “ Reasons for what?
uc1.b3710857	It is, of course. ” “ What were his reasons? ” “ Reasons for what?
uc1.b3710857	It will all come right. ” “ Just how? ” She looked up at him with dark and brooding eyes.
uc1.b3710857	It would seem to them, would n't it, like such witless cruelty?
uc1.b3710857	It's all this Mr. what was it?
uc1.b3710857	It's got around she's teaching her drawing — ” “ Who's teaching which? ” interrupted Mr. Gartner, spear- ing a fried potato at his supper.
uc1.b3710857	Jase Duffit?
uc1.b3710857	Jase wants to rent that house, do n't he?
uc1.b3710857	Jase'll have a chance to get their place rented for the Battells now though. ” “ Who?
uc1.b3710857	Jealous?
uc1.b3710857	Jew?
uc1.b3710857	Just imagine it, will you?
uc1.b3710857	Just sit and talk? ” “ Well, I have a good story, ” said Slade.
uc1.b3710857	Just what do you? ” × iſ: × But of course, it was Miss Cole.
uc1.b3710857	Keep me informed if anything turns up, wo n't you? ” “ I certainly will, ” said Slade.
uc1.b3710857	Know what I mean?
uc1.b3710857	Looks pretty now, do n't she? ” Bessie nodded.
uc1.b3710857	Me?
uc1.b3710857	Meanwhile, as I said, I ’m learning. ” “ How do you like it here? ” he asked a moment later.
uc1.b3710857	Met a wonderful person. ” “ What's her name? ” “ Not so fast, old leather- face!
uc1.b3710857	Might n't we? ” “ Well, to tell the truth, ” Flora smiled, “ I ’m sure I do n't know.
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	No?
uc1.b3710857	Not going to stay there all morning though, are you? ” “ Oh, no, that's just part of it.
uc1.b3710857	Not thinkin'of buyin'here, you say, Mrs. Ventress? ” “ Why no, as I told you, ” returned Adela.
uc1.b3710857	Nothing. ” “ Well — l ” “ Why, would she make this friendship with Bessie under my very eyes, when she loves me?
uc1.b3710857	Now Slade, do n't you think it's good? ” As Bessie bent over him her soft hair brushed his face, her soft young cheek touched his.
uc1.b3710857	Now? ” “ Would you?
uc1.b3710857	Now? ” “ Would you?
uc1.b3710857	O Slade, do you really think she ever found her happiness? ” He had never known his cousin in such a grave mood.
uc1.b3710857	O are you going? ” for Slade was murmuring some- thing and rising.
uc1.b3710857	Odd, is n't it? ” “ And the writer of the manuscript has n't come in at all? ” put in Bessie.
uc1.b3710857	Odd, is n't it? ” “ And the writer of the manuscript has n't come in at all? ” put in Bessie.
uc1.b3710857	Of course that man was n't her husband 1 Cor- yat?
uc1.b3710857	Of course you heard them? ” “ They woke me up, ” answered Slade.
uc1.b3710857	Of course, she might have known it would come out; still Maybe they sus- pected all sorts of things just because — Oh, that was it, was it?
uc1.b3710857	Of none?
uc1.b3710857	Of that woman?
uc1.b3710857	Of what denomination was that a sect?
uc1.b3710857	Of what?
uc1.b3710857	Oh, but — why, when were you listening?
uc1.b3710857	Oh, he told you?
uc1.b3710857	Oh, well, after all, why should she?
uc1.b3710857	Only it is quite remarkable. ” “ What?
uc1.b3710857	Only that's the second time. ” “ Second time what?
uc1.b3710857	Oval face — I do n't know, did you ever try describing a woman?
uc1.b3710857	Pasto Robutts circumjexted dat name. ” “ You ’re what? ” asked Adela, her brows even more wrinkled.
uc1.b3710857	Probably the agent'll ask you five hundred for it, or a thou- sand. ” “ But it did n't come through an agent. ” “ Did n't, eh?
uc1.b3710857	Prove that she was Richard Terrill?
uc1.b3710857	Quite remarkable, is n't it?
uc1.b3710857	Read the reviews| Then why had this book of Terrill's intruded to shatter the dream?
uc1.b3710857	Remarkable, I must say. ” “ It ’s a perfectly good word, ” said Bessie, “ is n't it? ” “ To be sure.
uc1.b3710857	Remember me? ” Jason came out of the door, started to shake his head.
uc1.b3710857	Remember that friend of my cousin's I spoke to you about?
uc1.b3710857	Remember two years ago? ” “ He wo n't! ” she answered with spirit.
uc1.b3710857	Remember when I showed them at the Meldon County Fair?
uc1.b3710857	See what she says about a quiet spot 5* “ Why do n't she go to the mountains?
uc1.b3710857	Shall I tell her I can take drawing les- Sons? ” “ Yes, I think so.
uc1.b3710857	Shall we take in that Province- town place? ” “ Why, yes — let's, ” returned Slade slowly.
uc1.b3710857	She has beautiful eyes, has n't she? ”.
uc1.b3710857	She has gone away again, to bring me identifica- tion and proofs. ” “ What? ” You do n’t mean it!
uc1.b3710857	She knew your name, by the way. ” “ Knew my name — how? ” “ Through mutual acquaintances, she said.
uc1.b3710857	She looks successful, does she? ” “ Well, she evidently has enough money and has not led a particularly hard life, lately anyhow.
uc1.b3710857	She run away from home about twenty years ago, did n't she?
uc1.b3710857	She was not an Episcopalian?
uc1.b3710857	She was viciously jealous of Gertrude. ” “ Why, George, how can you say such a thing?
uc1.b3710857	She wondered where he had come from?
uc1.b3710857	She's rich now, ai n't she? ” “ ’ Scuse me, Maybelle, yer crazy.
uc1.b3710857	Should he begin with — what?
uc1.b3710857	Should he run his bath?
uc1.b3710857	Since my name is assumed 33 “ Assumed? ” gasped Uncle Arthur.
uc1.b3710857	So it's good, is it? ” “ I hope you'll think so.
uc1.b3710857	So that was how she had unconsciously concocted that name of hers'The “ Adela ” though?
uc1.b3710857	Some more articles, till he got his hand in?
uc1.b3710857	Someone called to us, did n't they? ” “ I thought it sounded like Bessie, ” answered Adela, be- wildered.
uc1.b3710857	Sort of policy worse- oh of the Colos- seum, what? ” “ Oh, my God, ” groaned Slade.
uc1.b3710857	Sounds mighty queer, do n't it?
uc1.b3710857	Speaks funny donshe? ” “ She's French, ” said Adela.
uc1.b3710857	Still in the period of the Civil War. ” “ What's Bess been doing? ” “ Reading.
uc1.b3710857	Suppose this came out?
uc1.b3710857	Sure it wo n't bore you? ” “ Not a bit.
uc1.b3710857	Surely not a Catholic?
uc1.b3710857	Talent?
uc1.b3710857	Tell me, tell me? ” “ It's, it's, it's, oh, it's Gertrude, father, Gertrude come home! ” × × × Slade sat up.
uc1.b3710857	That much was true, but e Why had he happened to lend her that book?
uc1.b3710857	That the ache should be so keen — still — at times — what did that imply?
uc1.b3710857	That's what you want, is n't it?
uc1.b3710857	Then — I’ll be mightily grate- ful — will you go for Dr. John? ” “ My land, ” said Mrs. Harris.
uc1.b3710857	Then — I’ll be mightily grate- ful — will you go for Dr. John? ” “ My land, ” said Mrs. Harris.
uc1.b3710857	Then, with a nervous look in his eyes, “ That who you were callin'on? ” His companion remembered Adela's parting words.
uc1.b3710857	Then, “ Damn good, is n't it? ” he said laconically, and tossed the thing at Slade.
uc1.b3710857	There! ” “ Where am I? ” “ You ’re safe, dearie.
uc1.b3710857	There's something wrong about it. ” “ ’ Bout what?
uc1.b3710857	They all flop some day! ”- “ What the hell do you mean? ” asked Slade with a great pretense of wrath.
uc1.b3710857	They are simply two aspects of a greater construct or entity. ” That “ greater construct ”?
uc1.b3710857	This all sounds to me like the most unutterable — What are they saying then? ” “ It goes back even farther.
uc1.b3710857	This is really quite peculiar. ” Peculiar, ruminated Richard's subconscious, peculiar, what was 2–-who?
uc1.b3710857	This is the Colosseum, is n't it? ” “ Twelve- thirty?
uc1.b3710857	This is the Colosseum, is n't it? ” “ Twelve- thirty?
uc1.b3710857	Three ring circus. ’ “ You ’re on a magazine there, are n't you?
uc1.b3710857	To what possible end?
uc1.b3710857	Ventress'? ” asked Uncle Arthur, point- blank.
uc1.b3710857	Ventress, ” intoned Bessie, her eyes sparkling with amusement at her own solemnity of utterance, “ is a mythical woman. ” “ What on earth?
uc1.b3710857	Ventress?
uc1.b3710857	Ventress? ” Duffitt almost halted.
uc1.b3710857	Ventress? ” a deep voice said courteously.
uc1.b3710857	Want me to read it?
uc1.b3710857	Want to come?
uc1.b3710857	Want to hear about Rubbitonya the Tony Talcum?
uc1.b3710857	Want to hear about the Swenson Axle?
uc1.b3710857	Want to see inside? ” He entered the small door in the west end and stood in the four- foot alleyway on the north side of the building.
uc1.b3710857	Was Coryat Was she-?
uc1.b3710857	Was he going to do what she asked?
uc1.b3710857	Was it that?
uc1.b3710857	Was it that?
uc1.b3710857	Was it the old possessiveness, that issue on which they had broken?
uc1.b3710857	Was n't it?
uc1.b3710857	Was not the dignified if dilapidated tan- bark court under the weeping willow trees in a corner of the Institute Grounds enough in all conscience?
uc1.b3710857	Was she growing into a sentimental match- maker?
uc1.b3710857	Was she still in London?
uc1.b3710857	Was she still married?
uc1.b3710857	Was that a tap?
uc1.b3710857	Well — so you really think Mrs. Ventress can help you? ” “ Ch, you remarkable father!
uc1.b3710857	Well, he thought, why not?
uc1.b3710857	Well, he — ” “ What — Richard Coryat? ” Mrs. Ventress asked suddenly.
uc1.b3710857	Well, if she left here on the eleven o’clock train she'd have been in Tupton by eleven that night — that was the train you took, was n't it?
uc1.b3710857	Well, we've had some nice times, have n't we, Bessie?
uc1.b3710857	Well, well, well, what do you want to know, young fella?
uc1.b3710857	Well, what shall we do?
uc1.b3710857	Well, what's he going to bring with him?
uc1.b3710857	Well, why had n't they changed him too?
uc1.b3710857	Whaddya know about that anyway? ” Miss Crome's head swam that night as she tried to com- pose herself for sleep.
uc1.b3710857	What are you up to?
uc1.b3710857	What could be his errand?
uc1.b3710857	What did Mrs. Ventress write?
uc1.b3710857	What did anything matter, now?
uc1.b3710857	What did his acquaintance with her signify?
uc1.b3710857	What did they imagine?
uc1.b3710857	What did you hear? ” “ Oh, Uncle Arthur pishing and pshawing.
uc1.b3710857	What do you know about her? ” “ She's all right.
uc1.b3710857	What do you mean? ” Still he was smiling.
uc1.b3710857	What do you say?
uc1.b3710857	What do you think of it?
uc1.b3710857	What had happened?
uc1.b3710857	What have you written?
uc1.b3710857	What impulse could possibly have led him to affront a lady of evident position and importance in New York, to whom he had rented the Battells'house?
uc1.b3710857	What in heaven's name was the mat- ter with American publishers not to have heard of him?
uc1.b3710857	What in the devil was his name?
uc1.b3710857	What is it, Bess? ” “ Are you going to call on Mrs. Ventress, and tell her — or shall I?
uc1.b3710857	What is it, Bess? ” “ Are you going to call on Mrs. Ventress, and tell her — or shall I?
uc1.b3710857	What is it?
uc1.b3710857	What is it? ” “ Mrs.
uc1.b3710857	What is matter?
uc1.b3710857	What kind of thing? ” “ Oh, nothing much, ” said Mrs. Ventress.
uc1.b3710857	What of it all indeed?
uc1.b3710857	What of it all?
uc1.b3710857	What of the Battells?
uc1.b3710857	What on earth do you mean by that? ” “ She is too lovely.
uc1.b3710857	What on earth had she meant by that?
uc1.b3710857	What on earth was it?
uc1.b3710857	What on earth was that woman doing down by the Hoyle's fence?
uc1.b3710857	What proofs had she thought she had?
uc1.b3710857	What the devil?
uc1.b3710857	What time am I expected at your Uncle's, Bessie? ” “ Oh, Slade and I will call for you, ” said Bessie.
uc1.b3710857	What time? ” “ Who P ” “ How do you spell it? ” “ ‘ Y”—not ‘ I ’?
uc1.b3710857	What time? ” “ Who P ” “ How do you spell it? ” “ ‘ Y”—not ‘ I ’?
uc1.b3710857	What time? ” “ Who P ” “ How do you spell it? ” “ ‘ Y”—not ‘ I ’?
uc1.b3710857	What was anything?
uc1.b3710857	What was hap- pening?
uc1.b3710857	What was her story?
uc1.b3710857	What was it all about?
uc1.b3710857	What was it?
uc1.b3710857	What was that, said about the old Speaker of the House?
uc1.b3710857	What was the matter with this morning?
uc1.b3710857	What was this room, where was this house, who was this woman?
uc1.b3710857	What was this utterly absurd hypothesis he was listening to?
uc1.b3710857	What were space and time?
uc1.b3710857	What would the town say?
uc1.b3710857	What's his name?
uc1.b3710857	What's the purpose of an industrial system anyway?
uc1.b3710857	What's up? ” Slade was concerned.
uc1.b3710857	What?
uc1.b3710857	What?
uc1.b3710857	What?
uc1.b3710857	What? ” He found no answer.
uc1.b3710857	What? ” “ Oh, Slade, ” Bessie said, as quickly releasing him in a wave of shyness, and standing away.
uc1.b3710857	When did you come in? ” “ Oh, Fa- ther, ” Bessie laughed.
uc1.b3710857	When had he better take his bath?
uc1.b3710857	When has she ever explained the absence of her husband?
uc1.b3710857	When will you see her?
uc1.b3710857	When, pos- sibly?
uc1.b3710857	Where did you study? ” “ I had a knack, as a girl.
uc1.b3710857	Where had she come from?
uc1.b3710857	Where is that mem- orandum? ” He had his periods of jocularity.
uc1.b3710857	Where you going to dinner? ” “ I do n't know.
uc1.b3710857	Where ’s Bessie? ” “ She's gone over to the Wilders'with a friend.
uc1.b3710857	Wherever she went, would not her thousand photo- graphic likenesses follow her?
uc1.b3710857	Which way are you girls going? ” “ Oh, Jean wants me to go over with her to the Wilder farm.
uc1.b3710857	Who I90 THE FIRST PERSON SINGULAR could it be, though?
uc1.b3710857	Who can tell?
uc1.b3710857	Who concocted this cruel lie? ” UNCLE ARTHUR'S BOMB- SHELL 233 never referred again to Gertrude while she lived.
uc1.b3710857	Who has remembered?
uc1.b3710857	Who have you there? ” “ This is my cousin, Slade, ” Bessie presented, as Mrs. Ventress came toward them.
uc1.b3710857	Who is it? ” “ It ’s a man named Terrill.
uc1.b3710857	Who is this woman Bess wants me to meet?
uc1.b3710857	Who is this woman, anyhow 2 Great Hippopotami, who is she?
uc1.b3710857	Who keeps this room clean?
uc1.b3710857	Who wants another war?
uc1.b3710857	Who was she?
uc1.b3710857	Who's it by? ” “ That's just what I do n't know, ” said Slade.
uc1.b3710857	Why all this concealment?
uc1.b3710857	Why did he do it?
uc1.b3710857	Why did they all seem so avoiding — except Rebecca?
uc1.b3710857	Why do n't you sit around a while?
uc1.b3710857	Why had n't they changed him?
uc1.b3710857	Why had she come here?
uc1.b3710857	Why had she followed her impulse?
uc1.b3710857	Why had she left without a single word for him?
uc1.b3710857	Why had she looked so sad?
uc1.b3710857	Why is it?
uc1.b3710857	Why should I be listened to?
uc1.b3710857	Why should he be bewildered?
uc1.b3710857	Why should he have told? ” “ Well I never thought of that possibility at all.
uc1.b3710857	Why should she?
uc1.b3710857	Why this peculiar passion for irreconcil- able mystery on the part of omnipotence?
uc1.b3710857	Why wo n't you tell us? ” Adela shook her head again.
uc1.b3710857	Why, but she was married, was n't she?
uc1.b3710857	Why, yes, you can arrange it, ca n't you, Bess? ” His absent- minded eyes hardly saw her.
uc1.b3710857	Why, you certainly ought to be able to get work to do in New York. ” “ Oh, Sladel Really? ” “ Sure.
uc1.b3710857	Why?
uc1.b3710857	Why?
uc1.b3710857	Why? ” “ Letter from a New York lady.
uc1.b3710857	Will you see her, Miss Pea- body?
uc1.b3710857	Will you wait just a minute? ” “ Oh – oh, surely, ” murmured the other.
uc1.b3710857	Wo n't you come in?
uc1.b3710857	Wo n't you trust me? ” “ If I could understand that name — ” Uncle Arthur muttered in the shadow.
uc1.b3710857	Wonder when I ’d better manoeuvre for another raise?
uc1.b3710857	Would he have supper with Mrs. Ventress?
uc1.b3710857	Would they?
uc1.b3710857	Would you let her go? ” “ Well, ” said Dr. Gedney, “ Bessie's young yet — not through school.
uc1.b3710857	You are n't coming with us? ” “ I think not.
uc1.b3710857	You could n't guess — ” “ Angel, what are you talking about? ” “ It's Gertrude, Gertrude, Gertrude!
uc1.b3710857	You do n't know her, do you? ” “ No, not at all, ” Coryat shook his head.
uc1.b3710857	You know you're that kind. ” “ You do n't believe then in woman suffrage? ” “ Humph.
uc1.b3710857	You live down in the Village, do n't you?
uc1.b3710857	You look nice and cool this morning. ” “ Yes, it's a lovely morning, is n't it?
uc1.b3710857	You look so queerly. ” “ I?
uc1.b3710857	You love him, so let it rest. ” “ Then why would n't the ungrateful girl have come back to him, knowing how he loved her? ” “ Pride perhaps.
uc1.b3710857	You mean to say —? ” “ I do n't mean to say anything.
uc1.b3710857	You saw her, of course? ” “ Yes, I talked to her.
uc1.b3710857	You see, I have n't resurrected these for a long, long time. ” “ Bad? ” said Bessie.
uc1.b3710857	You surely will call me, though, wo n't you?
uc1.b3710857	You — er — a fine night is n't it? ” “ Yes, ” returned Coryat, who had risen.
uc1.b3710857	You'll grant that? ” She looked at him, quite seriously.
uc1.b3710857	You'll let me see some of your own things some time? ” “ Oh, but mine are so awful!
uc1.b3710857	“ A what? ” asked Bessie.
uc1.b3710857	“ And Uncle Arthur did n't have any effect, did he? ” “ Arthur?
uc1.b3710857	“ And Uncle Arthur did n't have any effect, did he? ” “ Arthur?
uc1.b3710857	“ And ca n't I? ” asked Adela, rising.
uc1.b3710857	“ And no live comfort near on either hand — ” “ On either hand ”?
uc1.b3710857	“ And what's the jet black one? ” asked Bessie.
uc1.b3710857	“ Anything exciting been happening? ” asked Slade.
uc1.b3710857	“ Are n't there excep- tions to every rule? ” Both laughed.
uc1.b3710857	“ Are you then?
uc1.b3710857	“ Arthur is so absurd about her l ’ ” “ But what does he say, Uncle Charles? ” “ Oh, that he distrusts her.
uc1.b3710857	“ As if I were — what? ” Coryat had flushed a little.
uc1.b3710857	“ Aunt Clara — Pie — Jane had — Jane had — ” “ Coming in on Monday, eh? ” Coryat's full consciousness heard itself remark.
uc1.b3710857	“ Awake, dearie? ” asked Mrs. Harris.
uc1.b3710857	“ Behold a miracle! ” “ What? ” She looked up with clever brown eyes and the faint one- sided smile with which she always greeted her friends.
uc1.b3710857	“ Bess, my darling, what is it?
uc1.b3710857	“ But do you see any possible harm in women smoking? ” “ Of course not, ” said Slade.
uc1.b3710857	“ But look here, you have n't your copy here have you? ” asked Slade suddenly.
uc1.b3710857	“ But she said she knew you? ” “ Only through mutual acquaintances.
uc1.b3710857	“ But what is it, Mr. Pollock?
uc1.b3710857	“ But you do n't really, do you? ” The dark eyes searched his.
uc1.b3710857	“ But you do n't think I ’m bad, do you? ” she asked naively.
uc1.b3710857	“ But — my!—why did n't you keep it up? ” asked the dark child after a while, fixing adoring eyes upon the older WOrnan.
uc1.b3710857	“ Ca n't you have dinner with me tonight?
uc1.b3710857	“ Come down here! ” “ What is it? ” A form appeared at the parapet.
uc1.b3710857	“ Dasso?
uc1.b3710857	“ Do you like New York? ” he asked.
uc1.b3710857	“ Do you really think so?
uc1.b3710857	“ Do?
uc1.b3710857	“ Does it come back to you, dearie,-does it come back?
uc1.b3710857	“ Eh, Slade? ” “ I beg your pardon, sir.
uc1.b3710857	“ Find your friend all right?
uc1.b3710857	“ Finished it? ” “ Not yet.
uc1.b3710857	“ For the fireworks? ” “ Why, Bessie has been kind enough to invite me.
uc1.b3710857	“ Funny?
uc1.b3710857	“ Has she?
uc1.b3710857	“ Have a nice time? ” asked his cousin, peering for his face.
uc1.b3710857	“ How did it come out? ” asked Slade, as they reseated themselves.
uc1.b3710857	“ How have you been? ” “ I thought I could find myself, ” she replied.
uc1.b3710857	“ How'r’ye, Doctor?
uc1.b3710857	“ I beg your pardon, ” said Miss Peabody, “ I completely forgot to ask it? ” “ Cole, ” said the visitor.
uc1.b3710857	“ I say you were so quick I'm afraid I was n't much help. ” “ What?
uc1.b3710857	“ I?
uc1.b3710857	“ If he had been present at the Creation he would have been on the side of Chaos ”?
uc1.b3710857	“ If she does not choose to hear me — ” “ But what has she done?
uc1.b3710857	“ Is it conceivable that I would not recog- nise her?
uc1.b3710857	“ Is n't he nice? ” asked Bessie, suddenly tousling his hair.
uc1.b3710857	“ Is — is this my child or yours? ” The voice seemed strained almost to breaking.
uc1.b3710857	“ It really is n't so bad, is it?
uc1.b3710857	“ Jase say? ” questioned Mrs. Gartner after a while in a a low voice.
uc1.b3710857	“ Know her? ” His eyes looked keenly at his companion, an old school friend.
uc1.b3710857	“ Look here, who is this friend of your cousin's, this Mrs. Ventress? ” inquired Coryat directly.
uc1.b3710857	“ Never heard of her. ” “ Do you know anyone in Tupton?
uc1.b3710857	“ Oh, Mr. Coryat? ” he said peering closer.
uc1.b3710857	“ Oh, Slade, you're not going to sleep that way, you silly goop! ” “ Sure, why not? ” he asked, running one hand through his disordered hair.
uc1.b3710857	“ Oh, there is — I must say — well, well is there really? ” He recovered his gravity.
uc1.b3710857	“ Oh, what did I do to you, Jane? ” He was in a nice state of mind indeed He was a pre- posterous ass.
uc1.b3710857	“ Oh, wo n't you come in, Miss Crome?
uc1.b3710857	“ Oh, would you? ” Bessie's eyes were sparkling.
uc1.b3710857	“ Patch?
uc1.b3710857	“ Really? ” “ Really.
uc1.b3710857	“ Rejecting'em, eh?
uc1.b3710857	“ Right up along here?
uc1.b3710857	“ Shall I tear it up? ” she asked.
uc1.b3710857	“ Slade, who do you think it is?
uc1.b3710857	“ So you're an individualist? ” “ H'm, ” he drew his compressed lips inward.
uc1.b3710857	“ Something you've written? ” he asked then.
uc1.b3710857	“ Tear it up?
uc1.b3710857	“ Terrill?
uc1.b3710857	“ That lady owes you her life, eh?
uc1.b3710857	“ That lady owes you her life, eh?
uc1.b3710857	“ The constable? ” wondered Uncle Arthur, with his usual flair for the dramatic.

umn.319510021197976	Is it true that you met the unfortunate man last night? ” “ Quite true.
umn.319510021197976	Is not that so, doctor? ” “ In some cases, ” replied the doctor.

umn.319510021197976	Must I decide to- night? ” He staggered into the chair which his father used to occupy.
umn.319510021197976	Must I, too, go into this painful sub- ject? ” Ann was a very good- natured girl.
umn.319510021197976	My God, what does this mean?"
umn.319510021197976	Not after I saw you home? ” “ Yes, sir. ” Hetty choked again."
umn.319510021197976	Now what was she doing? ” Vincent started from his seat to see his wife mov- ing slowly up the room, borne onward by the pres- sure of the crowd.

umn.319510021197976	Oh, Mr. Awdrey, I do n’t think I ’ll say any more. ” “ Not say any more?
umn.319510021197976	Oh, is that you, Mr. Frere? ” “ Yes, Hetty.
umn.319510021197976	Oh, my God! ’ he cried out with great passion, ‘ who is the one who has done this deed?
umn.319510021197976	Oh, sir, I got so awfully frightened — I nearly let‘the ‘ truth out. ” “ You nearly let the truth out — the truth?

umn.319510021197976	Robert?"
umn.319510021197976	Rumsey, did you see that?
umn.319510021197976	Seems to me you grow thinner and thinner. ” “ Oh, aunt, never mind about my looks just now; have you heard anything else?

umn.319510021197976	Suppose I do not, what then? ” There came another tap at the oflice door.
umn.319510021197976	Tell me, Het, as, you would speak the truth ef you were a- dying, what did yer want with Squire?"

umn.319510021197976	To come back to myself, however, you consider that I am quite doomed? ” “ Not quite yet, although your case is a bad one.
umn.319510021197976	Was he going to be an honorable man?
umn.319510021197976	Was he going to use the memory which had returned to him to re- move the cruel shame and punishment from another?
umn.319510021197976	Was it for this man she had sacrificed her life?
umn.319510021197976	Was it possible that he had forgotten all about the murder which he himself had committed?
umn.319510021197976	Was it possible that the doom of the house had really overtaken Robert Awdrey?
umn.319510021197976	Was it possible? ” “ Hetty, how you do stand and stare, ” said George Vincent; he was munching his pie as he spoke.

umn.319510021197976	“ How did you get out last night? ” she asked.
umn.319510021197976	“ How do you do? ” said the voice.
umn.319510021197976	“ I ca n’t keep it to myself another minute. ” “ Good gracious mel whatever is to be done, Hetty?
umn.319510021197976	“ I can not; our child ’s little body lies upstairs. ” “ IVhy will you annoy me by referring to that delusion of yours?

umn.319510021197976	“ I do n’t want to go alone, but I must follow it. ” “ Follow what? ” said Rumsey.
umn.319510021197976	“ I was about to tell you so, when she came in view. ” “ Your right?"
umn.319510021197976	“ I was right in my conjec- tures, was I not?
umn.319510021197976	“ If that is the case, why should not I give him up? ” thought Hetty.
umn.319510021197976	“ Is Armitage in? ” he asked after a pause.
umn.319510021197976	“ Is anything the matter with you? ” asked Mar- garet.
umn.319510021197976	“ Is his health to be won back at such a price?"
umn.319510021197976	“ Is it possible, ” he continued, “ that you are little Hetty Armitage? ” “ I was, sir, I ain’tnow; I ’m Hetty Vincent now.

umn.319510021197976	“ Is your husband here? ” “ Yes, but I do n’t want him. ” Hetty, in her excitement, laid both hands on the Squire ’s arm.
umn.319510021197976	“ Margaret, are you there? — Margaret, come here."
umn.319510021197976	“ Now is it any better? ” asked the doctor.
umn.319510021197976	“ Now what should make you jealous? ” “ You make me jealous, my girl,"he answered.
umn.319510021197976	“ Now, whatever is the matter? ” said the elder woman.
umn.319510021197976	“ Now, you will get back to bed, wo n’t you?
umn.319510021197976	“ Oh, is that you, Hetty?
umn.319510021197976	“ Oh, what have I said? ” she cried, in consternation.
umn.319510021197976	“ Poor fellow?
umn.319510021197976	“ Queer, what ’s the matter with him? ” thought Hetty.
umn.319510021197976	“ Shall I come and help you and uncle to- night? ” Mrs. Armitage looked her niece all over.
umn.319510021197976	“ Shall I follow the devil?
umn.319510021197976	“ Shall I marry him? ” she thought.
umn.319510021197976	“ Shall I tell him? ” she whispered to herself.
umn.319510021197976	“ Sir, is that all the thanks you give me?
umn.319510021197976	“ Sir, ” she continued, “ there ’s some one who suspects. ” “ Suspects? ” said Awdrey, knitting his brows, ‘ Suspects what?
umn.319510021197976	“ Sir, ” she continued, “ there ’s some one who suspects. ” “ Suspects? ” said Awdrey, knitting his brows, ‘ Suspects what?

umn.319510021197976	“ Squire ’s safe enough ef you can keep things to yourself. ” “ Me? ” echoed Hetty.
umn.319510021197976	“ Surely in such a case mine ought to be the one to be relied upon? ” he queried.
umn.319510021197976	“ That you, Hetty Vincent? ” called out one"woman.
umn.319510021197976	“ There are.worse aches than that. ” “ What do you mean, George?

umn.319510021197976	“ True?
umn.319510021197976	“ Very ill — do you infer that the child is in danger? ” “ Yes, Awdrey, he is undoubtedly in danger.
umn.319510021197976	“ We can go home now. ” “ Well, have you really seen what you wanted to see?
umn.319510021197976	“ Well, in this case?

umn.319510021197976	“ What am I that I should accept the smooth and reject the rough?
umn.319510021197976	“ What are you doing, Robert, all by yourself?
umn.319510021197976	“ What are you saying, Maggie?
umn.319510021197976	“ What can I tell you? ” he asked.
umn.319510021197976	“ What can be the matter with you, Margaret?"
umn.319510021197976	“ What did you eat for dinner last night? ” “ It was not an ordinary nightmare — my memory is now quite vivid.

umn.319510021197976	“ What do you mean? ” Hetty started back and gazed at him with a queer mixture of hope and terror in her face.
umn.319510021197976	“ What do you mean? ” he replied.
umn.319510021197976	“ What do you mean? ” replied Awdrey.
umn.319510021197976	“ What do you mean? ” “ What I say, sir; I must not be seen talking'to you.

wu.89010034825	She ’s probably taking photo- graphs of the place, but why mention her in connection with your affair?
wu.89010034825	Since she must have one, why not he?
wu.89010034825	Something classical — eh? ” “ That, ” replied Rivington, “ is the Spirit of Art holding out hands of welcome to all who worship her.
wu.89010034825	Still later I received a letter from her to the same effect. ” “ You received a letter?
wu.89010034825	T 29o PARADISE COURT “ Do you think they will try further means?"
wu.89010034825	That astonishes you, Mr Rivington?
wu.89010034825	The cause, then, my children I An earthquake?
wu.89010034825	The statue of Corneille?
wu.89010034825	Then, and not till then, and then with a hushed voice, he asked — 8o PARADISE COURT “ And what news have we, sir, of our un- fortunate afl'air?
wu.89010034825	Then, ‘ Am I to understand that your niece concurs in that decision, Monsieur? ’ I inquired.
wu.89010034825	There they are — do you see? — on the other side of the street. ” “ Let us keep on this, then, ” said Riving- ton.
wu.89010034825	There was a statue of somebody or otherjust outside the hotel a little way along the quay, under the trees — was that it?
wu.89010034825	There was good talk there, said Master Carlo, of music and books and paintings — would I like to go?
wu.89010034825	This Yvette de St Evreux — what, on his own con- fession, did Rivington know of her?
wu.89010034825	Was he, who had never suffered a moment ’s curtail- ment of liberty in his life, to be fastened up there like a rat in a trap for———how long?
wu.89010034825	Was she dead?
wu.89010034825	Was she his mother ’s or his father ’s sister?
wu.89010034825	Well, I congratulate you, dear boy, most heartily — I suppose I may con- gratulate you?"
wu.89010034825	What are you doing, Dogger?"
wu.89010034825	What are you going to do at the old City Johnny ’s?-—more questions?"
wu.89010034825	What are you going to do at the old City Johnny ’s?-—more questions?"
wu.89010034825	What did we know of Miss de St Evreux but that she was meeting this man clandestinely, under most suspicious circum- stances?
wu.89010034825	What do you mean, Ether- edge?
wu.89010034825	What is he in Paris for?"
wu.89010034825	What is it — what is the reason? ” Miss Maxwell answered in a low, hushed voice, looking alternately from Rivington to Wells.
wu.89010034825	What is it? ” “ The lady that we saw on the boat, sir-—- the young lady who had a camera — I have a message from her.
wu.89010034825	What need was there of hole- and- corner meetings?
wu.89010034825	What next? ” “ ‘ At present, she replied, “ no.
wu.89010034825	What of that? ” “ I wish you to pay particular attention to what I shall tell you of this young lady ’s doings.
wu.89010034825	What secret was he to hear?
wu.89010034825	What street is it?"
wu.89010034825	What was Yvette doing there?
wu.89010034825	What was her game?
wu.89010034825	What was the matter with Rivington?
wu.89010034825	What was to happen next?
wu.89010034825	What we do not know is — what he is after, and what share Miss de St Evreux has in his plans, or what use he is making of her, or is about to make?
wu.89010034825	What — er- what was the camera girl and her Froggy doing all this time?"
wu.89010034825	What ’s it mean, this dodging and lurking and pretending that we ’re strangers and all that?
wu.89010034825	When did it come P — How is it I have only just received it? ” The man looked at the envelope which Rivington held out to him.
wu.89010034825	Where else should she go? ” “ I suppose there are places between this and Paris,"remarked Wells.
wu.89010034825	Where the dickens was the statue of Corneille?
wu.89010034825	Where was that?"
wu.89010034825	Where ’s she 28 PARADISE COURT gone, and what ’s she gone for?
wu.89010034825	Where, but to the Hotel de France, Rue des Carmes?
wu.89010034825	Where? ” “ Herein Charenton, sir.
wu.89010034825	Who are they? ” cried Rivington.
wu.89010034825	Who can tell? ” “ But this is a matter of the most serious moment to me, Madame de Marlé, ” said Rivington, with some show of impatience.
wu.89010034825	Who were her companions?
wu.89010034825	Why did she seem so changed at Rouen — so changed in a different way, last night—~and now like her old self again?
wu.89010034825	Why do we think that?
wu.89010034825	Why do you not trust Madame de Marlé? ” “ Because I don't — that ’s why! ” replied Wells.
wu.89010034825	Why is she treated in this way — why?"
wu.89010034825	Why not get at the bottom of the mystery of her disappearance if you can?
wu.89010034825	Why not rescue her now, instead of letting things go on until it may be — too l‘ate?
wu.89010034825	Why should he not earn his living as Madame ’s footman?
wu.89010034825	Why should not you pay for your share in what you did?
wu.89010034825	Why?
wu.89010034825	Will you come, dear old boy?
wu.89010034825	Will you not be seated?
wu.89010034825	Wo n't you sit down and have a drink and just hear what he ’s got to say, quietly? — Etheredge!
wu.89010034825	Wo n’t you have a drink yourself, sir? ” Mr Willoughby lifted the fat white hand once more.
wu.89010034825	Would the gentlemen follow him?
wu.89010034825	YVETTE. ” “ Do you hear, Dogger?
wu.89010034825	Yes — how long?
wu.89010034825	You can do a good fifty miles an hour on this car — can't you, Aunt Jim?
wu.89010034825	You said in your wire yesterday, ‘ I have found what I sought. ’ Did that mean that you had found Miss de St Evreux?
wu.89010034825	You saw Miss de St Evreux at the theatre here in company with a lady and a gentleman?"
wu.89010034825	You will forgive me for this intrusion, knowing what I feel? ” She smiled and gave him her hand — turned from him and gave her hand to Wells.
wu.89010034825	You will there see Miss de St Evreux. ” “ And Dubarle? ” “ Dubarle, without doubt.
wu.89010034825	You ’re sure your Madame is n't a witch or anything of that sort?
wu.89010034825	Your wrongs are terrible, irreparable, but what has this woman, whom I love, to do with them?
wu.89010034825	abduc- tion?
wu.89010034825	disappearance?
wu.89010034825	like a cannon, have come from?
wu.89010034825	‘ A young lady? ’ she said.
wu.89010034825	‘ What? ’ said I to myself, ‘ what will MOLE'S WORK 205 Monsieur be at sixty years of age?'
wu.89010034825	‘ What? ’ said I to myself, ‘ what will MOLE'S WORK 205 Monsieur be at sixty years of age?'
wu.89010034825	“ A good ’ un?"
wu.89010034825	“ All that I know is ” — “ That you love her,{eh?
wu.89010034825	“ Am I sure that I did n’t, Dogger?
wu.89010034825	“ And supposing she has n’t gone to Paris? ” said Wells.
wu.89010034825	“ And there? ”'“ I thought that would surprise you, ” said Rivington.
wu.89010034825	“ Are those the only occasions on which you have met her alone?
wu.89010034825	“ But I suppose there were mutual likings formed in spite of the music and the conversa- tion, and of Madame de Marlé? ” she said.
wu.89010034825	“ But Miss de St Evreux? ” he asked.
wu.89010034825	“ But how did you discover what it was?"
wu.89010034825	“ But really,"said Rivington, “ is it neces- sary?
wu.89010034825	“ But tell me — am I to understand that Miss de St Evreux knows nothing at all of What has happened to her during the past eight days?"
wu.89010034825	“ But that may be difficult. ” “ Because you know so little of her? ” “ Exactly.
wu.89010034825	“ But you — surely you have got some sort of news by this?
wu.89010034825	“ But — what will you hold on to? ” she asked.
wu.89010034825	“ But — you say that Yvette de St Evreux has suddenly left England?
wu.89010034825	“ But — you see?
wu.89010034825	“ Can it be true? ” ACCORDING TO THE DOCTORS 259 She shook her head very gravely.
wu.89010034825	“ Did I say anything of a love affair, Madame?
wu.89010034825	“ Did, eh?
wu.89010034825	“ Does n't look the truculent monster the papers make him out to be, eh?
wu.89010034825	“ Does she know of Du- barle ’s death?"
wu.89010034825	“ Dogger! ” he said, “ are you going in with me in this — right through? ” “ Right through, Daubs, ” answered Wells.
wu.89010034825	“ Dubarle was shot at the Embassy at three o’clock this afternoon — killed, you understand?"
wu.89010034825	“ Had left? ” “ Had left,"repeated Mrs Willoughby.
wu.89010034825	“ Heavy, is n’t it?"
wu.89010034825	“ I say, Dogger,"he said, “ you ’re quite certain you can drive all right?
wu.89010034825	“ I suppose you would go through fire and water for her, Mr Rivington? ” “ That made me jump.
wu.89010034825	“ Is it really you, Miss Maxwell? ” “ At your service, Mr Rivington, ” she re- plied, bowing.
wu.89010034825	“ It must have been a great pleasure to you to meet your nephew unexpectedly in Paris, Mrs Farringdon?
wu.89010034825	“ Left in the porch, you say? ” “ Left in the porch.
wu.89010034825	“ Madame de Marlé is a professor of music. ” “ Living where? ” “ In a flat which she names Paradise Court, in Minobar Mansions.
wu.89010034825	“ Miss de St Evreux very candidly and kindly refused me. ” “ You were surprised?
wu.89010034825	“ Now then, Aunt Jim, which way — left, right or straight ahead?"
wu.89010034825	“ Oh, you began making up to her, did you?"
wu.89010034825	“ Perfectly — sort of Maacenas business, eh? ” answered Wells.
wu.89010034825	“ Seen him?
wu.89010034825	“ Sir, I believe I have the honour of address- ing Mr John Aubrey Rivington? ” Rivington bowed and smiled.
wu.89010034825	“ So I should be the last woman in the world to wrong another, should I?"
wu.89010034825	“ That curiously- coloured light, something like the glittering of an opal, yet deeper and fuller in tint — there?"
wu.89010034825	“ That is to say you want things to go on until she is at the very edge of the abyss? ” he said.
wu.89010034825	“ The cavalier?
wu.89010034825	“ The employers of Miss de St Evreux? ” he said.
wu.89010034825	“ The man, I suppose, is Dubarle? ” THE OPERA — AND AFTER 215 “ And he, too, is playing a part, ” said Rivington.
wu.89010034825	“ Then how soon will Miss de St Evreux be herself again? ” he asked.
wu.89010034825	“ Then is she for ever to hang under this cloud — this awful terror?"
wu.89010034825	“ They ’ve gonel ” “ Gone?
wu.89010034825	“ To that?
wu.89010034825	“ To what? ” he exclaimed.
wu.89010034825	“ Uncommonly sober and quiet – looking gentleman, our friend the Eminent, is n't he, Daubs? ” he heard Wells saying.
wu.89010034825	“ Was there ever such a tangle of mysteries?
wu.89010034825	“ We ’re getting nearer with every turn of the screws anyway. ” “ Ay, but nearer to what? ” asked Wells.
wu.89010034825	“ Well, sir? ’ she said, ‘ You may now speak. ” “ That was blunt enough.
wu.89010034825	“ Well? ” THE.
wu.89010034825	“ What are you going to do?"
wu.89010034825	“ What do you say, Daubs, my boy? ” “ That I can never sufficiently thank Miss Maxwell for her kindness, ” answered Riving- ton.
wu.89010034825	“ What do you think of what Sister Teresa says?"
wu.89010034825	“ What happened?"
wu.89010034825	“ What has happened?
wu.89010034825	“ What is he — a mad poet or a fiddling chap? ” “ I ca n't tell you, ” answered Rivington.
wu.89010034825	“ What is it?"
wu.89010034825	“ What is to be done?"
wu.89010034825	“ What next? ” “ It was next evident that Madame d’Andelys was persuading the fair photographer to enter the house.
wu.89010034825	“ What on earth has she got to do with Miss de St Evreux?"
wu.89010034825	“ What say you, Wells?
wu.89010034825	“ What sort of chap was he? ” he inquired.
wu.89010034825	“ What was the result of your visit, Mr Rivington?"
wu.89010034825	“ What — murdered?"
wu.89010034825	“ What's the matter, Jack? ” he said sharply, laying his hand on his friend's arm.
wu.89010034825	“ Where is she?"
wu.89010034825	“ Who can tell what is in a woman's mind? ” she said.
wu.89010034825	“ Why not?
wu.89010034825	“ Why?
wu.89010034825	“ Will you please to enter, sir? ” he said with his usual formal politeness.
wu.89010034825	“ Yes. ” “ Later on, the gentleman called on you at your hotel? ” “ He did. ” “ What name did he give you?
wu.89010034825	“ Yes. ” “ Later on, the gentleman called on you at your hotel? ” “ He did. ” “ What name did he give you?
wu.89010034825	“ Yes?
wu.89010034825	“ Yes? ” said Rivington, questioningly.
wu.89010034825	“ You are feeling better, Miss de St Evreux?"
wu.89010034825	“ You are thinking — what? ” he inquired.
wu.89010034825	“ You do not know anything of Miss de St Evreux ’s friends? ” he asked.
wu.89010034825	“ You do not know, sir?
wu.89010034825	“ You know nothing of this Madame de Marlé beyond what you have told me? ” asked Miss Maxwell, coming back to the two friends.
wu.89010034825	“ You leave everything to my Aunt Jemima, who is entirely"- “ Is your Aunt Jemima in the house?"
wu.89010034825	“ You never went to Madame ’s except on the occasion of these Sunday evening gatherings,/ Mr Rivington?
wu.89010034825	“ You see that light, right at the top, Dogger? ” he said.
wu.89010034825	“ You will help me? ” she said, looking at him with something of a child ’s wistfulness.
wu.89010034825	“ You ’re quite sure we ’re not off on a wild- goose chase, Daubs, old chap? ” he said at length.
wu.89010034825	“ ‘ Before I say anything upon this point, I said presently, ‘ may I ask to whom I have the honour of speaking?'
wu.89010034825	“ ‘ I have the honour to address Mr Riving- ton? ’ he said.
wu.89010034825	“ ‘ I may ask why? ’ he said suggestively.
wu.89010034825	“ ‘ May I not know whom I have the honour of speaking to?'
wu.89010034825	“ ‘ Why do you think that? ’ I asked.
wu.89010034825	“ ‘ You know me?'
wu.89010034825	” “ Frankly — yes. ” “ Have you anything to suggest, anything to remark upon, as to this?"
wu.89010034825	” “ Here — in Rouen? ” “ In Rouen.
wu.89010034825	” “ Sir?"
wu.89010034825	” “ That of Monsieur Thomas Dubarle — with an address in Paris. ” “ What took place — briefly?
wu.89010034825	” “ Why should she be?"
wu.89010034825	fit?
uc1.b4094438	And so you think Lambert was murdered, do you, Hunt?
uc1.b4094438	Anything I can do for you, sir?
uc1.b4094438	Are the two you saw in here?
uc1.b4094438	Are you going on down to Furnace Creek tonight? ” “ Yes, ” I answered. uc1.b4094438 Baffling problem, is n't it?"
uc1.b4094438	Baffling? ” he replied with a start at the sound of my voice. uc1.b4094438 Could n't be on the way down, could he?"
uc1.b4094438	Could n't he have registered under another name? uc1.b4094438 Did he have any enemies? ” “ Not him.
uc1.b4094438	Did n't come through Pahrump Valley, did you?
uc1.b4094438	Do you happen to know anything about a fellow who died of thirst over toward the south end of the valley?
uc1.b4094438	Do you know a fellow named John Foster up at the Junction? ” Rogers inquired. uc1.b4094438 Father?
uc1.b4094438	Fingerprints?
uc1.b4094438	Have I really told you anything at all? ” “ I think so. uc1.b4094438 He'd naturally use his own name in getting in touch with Lambert, would n't he?"
uc1.b4094438	How are you coming, old man? ” Pine's voice was raised again in a cheerful note of inquiry to the wounded deputy. uc1.b4094438 How do you know it's Bailey Aus- tin?"
uc1.b4094438	How fast do you drive along here, Joe? ” “ Fifty — maybe fifty- five. uc1.b4094438 How is that going to be explained away?"
uc1.b4094438	How would he get where he was, then? ”Walk, I guess, Ed. ”"It sounds queer to me. ” Dick Stocker did not reply.
uc1.b4094438	I can be her willing slave and still criticize her weak- nesses, ca n't I? ” Byers protested. uc1.b4094438 In what way? ” The iron- gray eyes sought Rogers'face.
uc1.b4094438	Is it possible? uc1.b4094438 Is that all there is to report, Doctor? ” inquired Garvey.
uc1.b4094438	Is that the only place you were struck?
uc1.b4094438	It is a bit of a puzzle, is n't it?
uc1.b4094438	It's a bit difficult, do n't you think, Hunt, to establish 38 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY the dead man's identity under the circumstances?
uc1.b4094438	Just where did you find the body, Dick? ” he inquired of the deputy who lingered, leaning against an adobe pillar, uncertain what to do next. uc1.b4094438 Lambert must have been carrying that rock with him,"“ How so? ” demanded Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	No trace?
uc1.b4094438	No, he hain't. ” “ Does he still live where he did? ” “ Yeah. uc1.b4094438 Nothing?"
uc1.b4094438	Nothing?
uc1.b4094438	Odd sort, is n't he?
uc1.b4094438	Of course — if I can, Morris. ” “ Will you, please, not say anything about this that will get back to town? uc1.b4094438 Oh, I say, Mr. Hibbard- isn't it? ”"What's the trouble? ” “ Oh – I do n't know, ” he answered with an expression of disgust.
uc1.b4094438	Oh, I say, Mr. Hibbard- isn't it? ”What's the trouble? ” “ Oh – I do n't know, ” he answered with an expression of disgust.
uc1.b4094438	Oh, he could have just been goin'to bed. ”When did you see him last, McPhail? ” Rogers asked.
uc1.b4094438	Oh, yes. ”You'll make an examination, I suppose, Doctor Jonas, so we'll know what particular wound was mortal? ”"I'll do that, of course.
uc1.b4094438	Queer old bird, is n't he?
uc1.b4094438	Seen anything yet of that fellow from Los Angeles?
uc1.b4094438	So?
uc1.b4094438	Some desert rat, was he, Dick? ” inquired the youngish manager in a subdued voice. uc1.b4094438 Sort of tied up in a knot, ai n't it? ” he observed soberly.
uc1.b4094438	Still teach- ing English at the university? ” “ I'm fine, Mr. Garvey, ” Rogers grinned. uc1.b4094438 The old bird was ready to fly at a moment's notice, was n't he?"
uc1.b4094438	Then just what is your interest in the case?
uc1.b4094438	Wallace Lambert. ” “ Who says it's Austin's stationery? uc1.b4094438 Was it Byers?
uc1.b4094438	Well, now,began Turner bitingly, taking up the ques- 216 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 217 tioning,"what happened after the divorce?
uc1.b4094438	Well, shall we go? ”. uc1.b4094438 Well, shall we hunt up Byers and the girl now, and find out what they know about the missing clothing?"
uc1.b4094438	Well, ” I observed as we started back to the car, “ it looks like old man Lambert told the truth last night. ” “ Did he?
uc1.b4094438	Well”—Downes opened his hands in a gesture that im- plied vindication—what else can I expect of him?
uc1.b4094438	Were n't you afraid to do that, Dick, with all that mountain driving ahead of you? ” I asked. uc1.b4094438 Were your guests behavin'all right last night, Ed?"
uc1.b4094438	What can I do about it? ” Stocker asked. uc1.b4094438 What can I do for you?"
uc1.b4094438	What can you offer us in the way of information, Byers, that might help out? uc1.b4094438 What do I do, though, Stocker?
uc1.b4094438	What do you say to driving up to park headquarters now? ” he asked after half an hour or so of idleness. uc1.b4094438 What do you want to know that for?"
uc1.b4094438	What does that suggest to you?
uc1.b4094438	What else can you think of, Hunt, that we ought to look into?
uc1.b4094438	What if I tell Detroit when I get back to town tonight that there's strong possibilities that your dead man is the missing Austin?
uc1.b4094438	What is this, gentlemen?
uc1.b4094438	What of his family? ” Rogers asked. uc1.b4094438 What's eatin'on you, Hunt? ” he demanded, using Rog- ers'given name for the first time.
uc1.b4094438	What's on your minds, gentlemen?
uc1.b4094438	What's that? ” demanded Stocker. uc1.b4094438 What's the need of telling this thing all over again? ” asked Rogers a bit querulously.
uc1.b4094438	When are you planning to start your big walk? ” “ Not till Harry Byers gives the word. uc1.b4094438 When did you come out from Evanston, Mrs. Tread- wick?"
uc1.b4094438	Where are you going?
uc1.b4094438	Where are you heading for?
uc1.b4094438	Where do we see this Foster guy? ” “ He is supposed to come down and see us, ” answered Garvey. uc1.b4094438 Where else did he fail? ” “ He did n't kill Dick Stocker."
uc1.b4094438	Where is he? ” “ He went down to Baker this morning. uc1.b4094438 Where's your father?"
uc1.b4094438	Who all was still prowlin'around at that time?
uc1.b4094438	Who are you?
uc1.b4094438	Who shot him?
uc1.b4094438	Who was the fellow who got murdered?
uc1.b4094438	Who's that who got shot? ” he asked. uc1.b4094438 Why do you want to spill all this now?
uc1.b4094438	Why not call him up, ” suggested Morris Pine,and find THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 93 out when he's getting here?"
uc1.b4094438	Why not let's get a little sleep, Joe? uc1.b4094438 Would n't you say that the whole thing is very odd, even for Death Valley, Mr. Rogers? ” he pursued.
uc1.b4094438	Wrong?
uc1.b4094438	You drove fast from the wreck, of course, Jerry?
uc1.b4094438	You mean Miss Ellis? uc1.b4094438 You remember that body John and me brought in out of Pahrump Valley?"
uc1.b4094438	You think, then, that Lambert might have had some- thing to do with it? ”Whoever had something to do with it had all to do with it.
uc1.b4094438	You're in pretty good physical condition, are n't you?
uc1.b4094438	You're not crazy enough to think it was really Austin, after all that's happened, are you? ” Turner said in amaze- ment. uc1.b4094438 You're not, I suppose, hinting that I may know some- thing about the murder? ” Her tone was disarming.
uc1.b4094438	You've really decided to join me for lunch, have you, Joe? ” he grinned. uc1.b4094438 Your daughter said he was making threats. ”"Threats?
uc1.b4094438	Your name's Hayes, is n't it?
uc1.b4094438	'”"What time was that, Harvey?"
uc1.b4094438	10 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY"Why do you say that? ” “ Looked like it.
uc1.b4094438	128 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 129 “ Do n't they know anything about him?
uc1.b4094438	196 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY “ How about the telephone call? ” The question came from Pine.
uc1.b4094438	76 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY"How so?"
uc1.b4094438	98 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY “ Who is the old lady who's laying the law down to Harry Byers? ” Rogers inquired of Hayes.
uc1.b4094438	A man named Foster —""Foster?
uc1.b4094438	After I've just slapped him. ” THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 139 “ Then you say you were n't the fellow? ” asked Stocker.
uc1.b4094438	Against you or Foster? ” persisted Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	And as Mr. Garvey was saying, does it end the case or do we get a fresh start?"
uc1.b4094438	And his car went off the road? ” “ It happened last night about sundown.
uc1.b4094438	And now is that all you want to ask me?"
uc1.b4094438	And what did you gain by getting up at the crack of dawn? ” I fired at him.
uc1.b4094438	And why did he die like that?
uc1.b4094438	And yet, ” THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 103 “ And yet what?"
uc1.b4094438	And you found nothing of importance?
uc1.b4094438	And — where's the rest of the pen?
uc1.b4094438	And, now, did you drive over to this house? ” persisted Stocker.
uc1.b4094438	And, then, you come along with your money — and — don't you see how it is?
uc1.b4094438	Any experienced desert man would not be in difficulty in this region. ” “ How did the man come in here?
uc1.b4094438	Any strange cars?
uc1.b4094438	Anybody hungry?
uc1.b4094438	Anyone on foot? ”"On foot?"
uc1.b4094438	Anyone on foot? ”"On foot?"
uc1.b4094438	Are you a detective?"
uc1.b4094438	Artery in the neck was severed, as well as one in the left arm. ” “ Did you take a look at his heart?"
uc1.b4094438	Austin?"
uc1.b4094438	But do you think, then, that Lambert was the man the killer was aiming at all the time?"
uc1.b4094438	But how about the lives of other members of your family?
uc1.b4094438	But how do you rangers stand it? ” “ We move out.
uc1.b4094438	But it's obvious, is n't it, that Stocker, and the rest of them, will need some help in solving this thing?"
uc1.b4094438	But nobody did. ” “ We can forget the clothing, ca n't we, Hunt, if Stocker can identify the man from the pictures?"
uc1.b4094438	But since that's a perfectly normal evening, and quite my own private affair, what damned business is it of yours?"
uc1.b4094438	But things like this — if there was just somebody on hand to hold an artery, or something —"“ Are you by any chance a doctor? ” asked Pine.
uc1.b4094438	But was it?
uc1.b4094438	But what about Austin? ” Turner leaned back in his chair, and crossed his knees.
uc1.b4094438	But what do you know about that? ”"That's what I'm coming to.
uc1.b4094438	But what is there to work on?
uc1.b4094438	But which? ” “ Revenge? ” suggested Pine, his restless eyes busy with Rogers'relaxed figure.
uc1.b4094438	But which? ” “ Revenge? ” suggested Pine, his restless eyes busy with Rogers'relaxed figure.
uc1.b4094438	By the way, Otis”-he turned to the ranger—"how about Foster? ”"I talked with him last night on the phone.
uc1.b4094438	Byers?"
uc1.b4094438	Can I give any of you a lift? ” “ No, thank you."

uc1.b4094438	Considerable glass is in his face too. ” “ Small pieces, you mean?"
uc1.b4094438	Detroit? ”"Well”—Rogers laughed shortly—“we do n't know.
uc1.b4094438	Did he say?"
uc1.b4094438	Did it disappear at Death Valley Junc- tion or at the inn?
uc1.b4094438	Did n't nobody know he was lost?"
uc1.b4094438	Did n't you?
uc1.b4094438	Did n't you?
uc1.b4094438	Did n't you? ”"Really, Mr. Sheriff, your information is astounding."
uc1.b4094438	Did you drive over to John's house?
uc1.b4094438	Did you find the bullet in the room?"
uc1.b4094438	Did you know that a white rock placed on top of another rock is an Indian sign of a waterhole in this country?"
uc1.b4094438	Did you look to see if you had the body before you left there? ” “ I think I did, Mr.
uc1.b4094438	Did you think of that? ” “ I thought of it, but I would n't know what name he was using."
uc1.b4094438	Disguised his voice so that nobody would recognize it?
uc1.b4094438	Do n't you remember?"
uc1.b4094438	Do n't you think so too, Joe?"
uc1.b4094438	Do n't you think so too, Rogers?"
uc1.b4094438	Do n't you think the deputy probably got drunk and lost it out of his truck? ” “ No!"
uc1.b4094438	Do you believe it? ”"Well,"Stocker hesitated, “ you've got a good argument.
uc1.b4094438	Do you know Dick? ” 40 · THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY The old man nodded his head.
uc1.b4094438	Do you know Joe Hibbard, Mr. Garvey?
uc1.b4094438	Do you need anything?"
uc1.b4094438	Do you realize that it's after midnight, and that we've been practically eating and sleeping with this affair in Death Valley?"
uc1.b4094438	Do you want to know why Lambert got killed? ” “ Yes, ” we chorused.
uc1.b4094438	Do you wonder now that I never cared for the man?
uc1.b4094438	Downes is stopping here, is she?"
uc1.b4094438	Downes?"
uc1.b4094438	Eat here or down at the inn?"
uc1.b4094438	Ed who?
uc1.b4094438	Either their own or adopted? ”"No."
uc1.b4094438	Everything is up in the air and who's got the answer?"
uc1.b4094438	Find anything of interest? ” The question seemed to have a quality of the clear sky about it, plumped at us as it was without warning.
uc1.b4094438	For a moment we seemed at a loss for conversation, then Vivian Ellis crushed the fire from her cigarette and said: “ But what brought you to see me?
uc1.b4094438	From Evanston?"
uc1.b4094438	He could n't have""Was he excited, or upset? ” “ Absolutely not.
uc1.b4094438	He did n't expect him ever to be found — ” “ Are you sure? ” A tinge of sarcasm was in his voice.
uc1.b4094438	He knew how we had occupied our time dur- ing most of the day, or guessed it, for he said:"Stir up any- thing of interest? ”.
uc1.b4094438	He stepped off to the side to let us pass. ”"What sort of a man? ” Stocker inquired.
uc1.b4094438	He walks a good deal. ”"Who'else?"
uc1.b4094438	He was chasing a rabbit. ” “ Get him?"
uc1.b4094438	He was smart enough always to figure out in advance what the other fellow was goin'to do, and was ready for him. ”"When do you think he was killed?
uc1.b4094438	He'd led'em to believe that, anyhow. ” “ How much was he worth? ” Rogers inquired.
uc1.b4094438	He'd wrecked Margaret's life. ”"How wrecked it? ” Rogers asked.
uc1.b4094438	He's a good mechanic and — ”"Has he got a phone, Mac? ” interrupted Otis Barton.
uc1.b4094438	He's smashed up only two, or is it three, cars, Joe?"
uc1.b4094438	He's the old lady's nephew?"

uc1.b4094438	His THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 133 “ Did he have his coat on? ”"No.
uc1.b4094438	His only fault was he was lazy; he did n't work if he did n't need money. ” “ Drink any? ” “ Nothin'hard.
uc1.b4094438	Hit in the head like that, ”"Who got shot?"
uc1.b4094438	How about Harry Byers, 218 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY for instance?"
uc1.b4094438	How about it, Joe?
uc1.b4094438	How about you other fellows? ” He looked first to Rogers, then to Deputy Quimby.
uc1.b4094438	How about you, Hibbard? ”"Go to it, Pine,"I answered.
uc1.b4094438	How are you coming, old man? ” he said, addressing Stocker with lifted voice.
uc1.b4094438	How can I make any headway at bringing father and mother together again, with you hanging around the way you are?".
uc1.b4094438	How do you explain that, gentlemen?"
uc1.b4094438	How do you know but what Lambert himself made that call to him- self?
uc1.b4094438	How do you suppose Harry Byers got hold of the rubber band that belonged about Wallace Lambert's wallet? ”"'I do n't know.
uc1.b4094438	How far is Vegas from the Junction here?"
uc1.b4094438	Hubbard, was it?"
uc1.b4094438	Hunt Rogers was right, was n't he?"
uc1.b4094438	Hurt him much? ” “ Killed him."
uc1.b4094438	I could n't place it until now. ” “ What about it?"
uc1.b4094438	I do n't get there often. ” “ Is your home down that way too, Mr. Lambert? ” He did n't seem to hear me.
uc1.b4094438	I do n't understand — ” “ What are you doing down at the ranch? ” demanded Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	I have n't 174 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY"Is there so much hurry? ” asked Turner nervously.
uc1.b4094438	I love to ramble around when I'll not be disturbed, recalling the days that used to be. ” “ You know nothing, then, of the shooting?"
uc1.b4094438	I mean nothing that would throw any light upon the man's identity? ” “ That's right."
uc1.b4094438	I ought to be getting back up to the Amargosa. ” “ Going all the way back up there tonight alone?"
uc1.b4094438	I remember now. ” “ Could n't you have transacted your business at the door, under the eyes of Miss Ellis?"
uc1.b4094438	I said: ‘ Could n't it wait till mornin'?'
uc1.b4094438	I see you've changed the last line. ” “ Do n't you think it improves it? ” “ I believe it does.
uc1.b4094438	I was glad when she got rid of him. ”"Your daughter died subsequent to the divorce, did she not? ” Rogers inquired casually.
uc1.b4094438	I wrote them on a slip of paper and put it in Lambert's box. ” THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 195"Where did the call come from? ” demanded Turner.
uc1.b4094438	I'd much better stay on the ground. ”"Where all have you been?"
uc1.b4094438	I'll put some rangers on the job — ”"What about the stop at Stovepipe Wells? ” Rogers in- terrupted.
uc1.b4094438	If Lam- bert killed Austin for his money, why would he want to steal the body after it was discovered and hide it?
uc1.b4094438	If anybody plans to come out from Detroit, I suppose he'd better come direct to Death Valley, had n't he?"
uc1.b4094438	If it is n't Austin's body, what would be the object of the Austin letters, forged or genuine?
uc1.b4094438	If there'd been no car there, would it ever have occurred to Jerry that there might have been a car ahead of him?
uc1.b4094438	In that way the news will spread all over this country. ”"You're not expecting anything to come of it, are you?"
uc1.b4094438	In the first place, who is going to steal a body that's lain three months in the desert?
uc1.b4094438	In the second place, what for?"
uc1.b4094438	Is it George Downes?
uc1.b4094438	Is it important, though? ” “ I think so.
uc1.b4094438	Is it old lady Treadwick?
uc1.b4094438	Is it true about this fellow? ” “ Yes. ” “ What happened to him?"
uc1.b4094438	Is it true about this fellow? ” “ Yes. ” “ What happened to him?"
uc1.b4094438	Is there a third explanation for the rock's being in the car?
uc1.b4094438	It was n't just the poem, was it? ” Her tone was businesslike.
uc1.b4094438	It was very hot in the desert then- or was the man shot to death? ” he asked suddenly, as if he might have been making an unwarranted assumption.
uc1.b4094438	It's in- dicative of a trend, perhaps, the trend of a clue in that general direction. ” “ But the ivory holder?"
uc1.b4094438	It's quite a walk down to the camp below, is n't it?
uc1.b4094438	It's signed'Vivian Ellis, ’ so I guess the Downes girl must have dropped it just now- do n't you think?"
uc1.b4094438	Just'How are you getting along, Wallace?'
uc1.b4094438	Lambert came in about a quarter after eleven ” “ How long had he been outside?"
uc1.b4094438	Lambert has got to establish the fact that Bailey Austin is dead before he can claim the money, has n't he?".
uc1.b4094438	Lambert says they're okeh; Garvey says Lambert's okeh, so what have we?
uc1.b4094438	Lambert's? ” “ It's the same brand. ”"The same?"
uc1.b4094438	Lambert's? ” “ It's the same brand. ”"The same?"

uc1.b4094438	My nephew?"
uc1.b4094438	Name's Tread- wick. ” “ Mary Treadwick?
uc1.b4094438	Not quite hardened enough to it yet?"
uc1.b4094438	Or can you go with us?"
uc1.b4094438	Or from the other end of the valley? ”"I'm sure I do n't know. ” We plodded onward.
uc1.b4094438	Or have you got that far in your thinking? ” Rogers was long in answering.
uc1.b4094438	Papers? ” The ranger searched the billfold.
uc1.b4094438	Per- haps I should n't be, but I'm really interested in it. ” “ Do you have anything to offer, Mr. Downes, any sug- gestions, any information?"
uc1.b4094438	Pleasant sort, was n't he?
uc1.b4094438	Remember?
uc1.b4094438	Right? ” “ That's right, Quimby, ” Stocker answered solemnly.
uc1.b4094438	See? ” Mrs. Treadwick snatched at it, and Rogers gave it to her without an effort to retain it.
uc1.b4094438	Seen him around? ”"No, I hain't, Dick.
uc1.b4094438	Shall I keep this then this copy?"
uc1.b4094438	Shall I read her reactions to you, Joe? ” Rogers grinned.
uc1.b4094438	She'd be alive today if she'd never seen Bailey Austin. ” “ Do you base that on anything in particular that hap- pened? ” Rogers wanted to know.
uc1.b4094438	Significant, is n't it?
uc1.b4094438	So far as I know, Dick. ”"Everybody in bed by ten- thirty or eleven o'clock?"
uc1.b4094438	So why did n't you stay in Hollywood?
uc1.b4094438	Some poor devil of a prospector, was he? ” “ On the contrary, there's good reason to believe he was not."
uc1.b4094438	Somebody shot him down at the camp; fired through a window from the darkness —"“ Who?"
uc1.b4094438	Still noth- ing, however. ”"Nothing of the missing clothing, either? ”"No."
uc1.b4094438	THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 123 “ What's the motive, do you think, Hunt, for the killing of Austin, if it is Austin?

uc1.b4094438	That so?
uc1.b4094438	That's the way anybody would want to go. ” “ Did anyone see it happen?"
uc1.b4094438	That's who the phone call was from. ” “ From Austin?"
uc1.b4094438	The Amargosa?
uc1.b4094438	The cap must have been on the pen; how did they happen to be separated, and where is the pen?

uc1.b4094438	The man I slapped last night? ”"Yes, ” answered Stocker.
uc1.b4094438	The man looked away again before he replied, then he said: “ Up toward Greenwater. ”"Where'd you come from?"
uc1.b4094438	The other cars are ahead of us, are n't they?"
uc1.b4094438	The way we did?
uc1.b4094438	There ahead? ” He quick- ened his pace so that I had difficulty in keeping up with him.
uc1.b4094438	There was n't anything on him that said. ”"Some prospector?"
uc1.b4094438	There was n't nobody with him. ” “ Did he come back this way? ” Stocker resumed the ques- tioning.
uc1.b4094438	They always do. ” “ It is odd. ” “ Did the Treadwicks say anything? ” inquired Pine.
uc1.b4094438	They were arguing; it was dark as a pocket in the rear seat-50-"So what?"
uc1.b4094438	They would n't have any bearing on the case, would they?
uc1.b4094438	They'll bury him in Vegas, I guess. ” THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 245 happened, wa’n't it? ” he inquired of Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	They're doing better by the authors, though, than they used to — ”"What are you so jittery about, Hunt? ” I demanded of a sudden.
uc1.b4094438	They've gone for a horseback ride, I think. ” “ How soon do you want to start for Rhyolite?"
uc1.b4094438	This missing persons thing?"
uc1.b4094438	This morning, or last night? ”"Last night after ten.
uc1.b4094438	Treadwick?"
uc1.b4094438	Treadwick?"
uc1.b4094438	Two or three years after that she died in New York of pneumonia. ”"Who was she? ” Rogers asked.
uc1.b4094438	Until we know definitely who the victim was, where do we go?
uc1.b4094438	Walking the whole distance now would be just a stunt when you can ride, would n't it? ” “ Yes."
uc1.b4094438	Want a drink of water? ” “ Yes, please, Joe. ” I got a glass of water and helped him to drink a few swallows.
uc1.b4094438	Was he a tender- foot? ” “ The clothing indicated he was from the city."
uc1.b4094438	Was he killed in- stantly?"
uc1.b4094438	Was it Lambert, then, if it was n't suicide?
uc1.b4094438	Was n't any shirt neither. ”"Just where did you find the body, Dick?"
uc1.b4094438	Was n't there some- thing else that happened? ” Turner was insistent.
uc1.b4094438	We've got a good one tonight. ” “ Why not? ” Rogers answered.
uc1.b4094438	Well — what about it?
uc1.b4094438	Well, is there anything I can do if I stay, gentlemen? ” he asked as the girl pulled at his sleeve.
uc1.b4094438	What about the initials on those letters supposed to be from Judge Austin?
uc1.b4094438	What accident? ” The old man's interest was aroused.
uc1.b4094438	What are the latest developments, if you do n't mind telling an outsider?"
uc1.b4094438	What becomes of the murder case, too, if the corpus delicti is not rediscovered?
uc1.b4094438	What do you see in it?
uc1.b4094438	What do you think about those letters? ” The young man shrugged his wide shoulders.

uc1.b4094438	Why did you follow mother up here?
uc1.b4094438	Why did you mention Detroit, Mrs. Treadwick? ” The old lady stared at him shrewdly before she replied.
uc1.b4094438	Why in the world would the oculist give me that sort of a case any- way?
uc1.b4094438	Why was n't it all together?"
uc1.b4094438	Why would a man die of thirst in this particular corner of Inyo County, on the THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY edge of Pahrump Valley?
uc1.b4094438	Why, then, should anybody want to walk it?
uc1.b4094438	Why, what do you mean?".
uc1.b4094438	Why, what have I done? ” “ That's what we want to find out, ” Stocker asserted.
uc1.b4094438	Why, what's he done, Dick?
uc1.b4094438	Why, you do n't think he had anything to do with this? ” The ranger's alert brown eyes searched Rogers'face intently.
uc1.b4094438	Why- I met you, did n't I, outside the inn just after I slapped the fellow?
uc1.b4094438	Why? ” he demanded.
uc1.b4094438	Why? ” “ I guess you're right, Hunt.
uc1.b4094438	Why?"
uc1.b4094438	Would you mind giving us a lift to the inn?"
uc1.b4094438	You asked me, Mr. Turner, how does he expect to profit by the murder of his cousin when the will was drawn in favor of Lambert?
uc1.b4094438	You have n't told me, but I know you're thinking something —"12 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY “ Thinking?
uc1.b4094438	You know what we found on the little knoll. ” “ What about the cigarette?
uc1.b4094438	You know — ” He made an THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 225 about stoppin'at the inn, did I?"
uc1.b4094438	You see it, do n't you, Joe?"
uc1.b4094438	You see my point?"
uc1.b4094438	You stepped out of the road to let the car pass —"“ Me?"
uc1.b4094438	You think he's going to die? ” I shrugged my shoulders and went back inside and locked the door.
uc1.b4094438	You went inside Foster's house for a while, did n't you?
uc1.b4094438	You're stopping at the camp too, are n't you? ”"Yeah. ” The next moment, however, Pine started climbing the steps to the inn.
uc1.b4094438	ducked it. ” “ Did he go on up to the Junction? ” asked Rogers.

uc1.b4094438	thing, was uncovered today by the CCC boys?".
uc1.b4094438	“ After what Ed Long told us, and the fact that there's no Bailey Austin at the inn?".
uc1.b4094438	“ All up with him? ” Rogers'words echoed the doctor's gesture.
uc1.b4094438	“ Am I right, Hunt?"
uc1.b4094438	“ An old mountain driver like me?
uc1.b4094438	“ And just what bearing could it possibly have?"
uc1.b4094438	“ And what business is that of yours? ” She lighted a fresh cigarette.
uc1.b4094438	“ And what of her family now? ” “ She'd been married once before to a fellow named Kerr.
uc1.b4094438	“ And you really do n't dare pick up a piece of metal? ”"If it's been lying in the sun it's too hot to hold.
uc1.b4094438	“ Anything wrong with it?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Are you prospectin'? ” “ No.
uc1.b4094438	“ Are you sure, Hunt? ” I began.
uc1.b4094438	“ Are you sure, Joe?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Are you sure? ” he asked at last, rather weakly.
uc1.b4094438	“ But do n't you see what I'm getting at, Dick?"
uc1.b4094438	“ But how about Austin being registered? ” pressed Tur- ner.
uc1.b4094438	“ But it's a bit queer, do n't you think?
uc1.b4094438	“ But what would I know about it?
uc1.b4094438	“ But what would be the motive, though, Hunt, for Lam- bert to do the killing? ” I sought Rogers'opinion as we were rolling into the Junction.
uc1.b4094438	“ But who was the fellow, Joe? ” Rogers interrupted my thoughts.
uc1.b4094438	“ But, Hunt —""You said that you did the script yourself, and got an enormous price for it —"“ Let me explain —"“ Can you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Byers has spent a lot of time in the West, has n't he? ” Rogers asked.
uc1.b4094438	“ Byers is one of your suspects? ” asked Turner, looking first to Barton and then to Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	“ Byers?
uc1.b4094438	“ Byers? ” Turner shook his head.
uc1.b4094438	“ Byers? ” he echoed.
uc1.b4094438	“ Can you tell us, Mrs. Treadwick, anything about Judge Austin's relatives?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Captain Brown? ” said the superintendent.
uc1.b4094438	“ Coming, Morris?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Could those be photographed, do you think, Hunt? ” demanded Pine, thrusting his face forward in his interest.
uc1.b4094438	“ Did Judge Austin's name just happen to pop into your mind, too, Mrs. Treadwick? ”.
uc1.b4094438	“ Did any other car pass the station going toward Furnace Creek between the time Lambert left and your departure?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Did he have any people?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Did he make any threats while he was here?
uc1.b4094438	“ Did n't take anybody in with him at any time?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Did n't you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Did you find out who he was? ” he asked after a mo- ment's silence.
uc1.b4094438	“ Did you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Do they know yet who did it?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Do you get it, Hunt? ” I asked.
uc1.b4094438	“ Do you know anything about it?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Do you know anything about the attempt on Stocker's life?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Do you know what it's all about, Hunt?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Do you know whether or not your friend did his own typing? ” he inquired of Wallace Lambert.
uc1.b4094438	“ Do you make anything of it at all, Hunt?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Doctor?
uc1.b4094438	“ Find him?"
uc1.b4094438	“ From Detroit?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Had they found any trace of the body? ” “ They've got CCC boys scattered all the way from Scot- ty's Castle to Jubilee Pass.
uc1.b4094438	“ Harry Byers?
uc1.b4094438	“ Harry Byers? ” she echoed the name when Rogers ques- tioned her.
uc1.b4094438	“ Has he come by this morning going down to Furnace Creek?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Have n't you heard about the body that was found down in Pahrump Valley, and how it later disappeared from Dick's truck?".
uc1.b4094438	“ Have you any suggestions at all that might throw light on the Foster murder?"
uc1.b4094438	“ He did?"
uc1.b4094438	“ He lived here all alone, did he? ” asked Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	“ He was an old man, was n't he?"
uc1.b4094438	“ His aunt? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4094438	“ How about another session after dinner? ” suggested Barton.
uc1.b4094438	“ How about hunting up Byers now? ” suggested Stocker.
uc1.b4094438	“ How about stopping at the park headquarters and paying our respects to the superintendent, who is an old friend of mine?"
uc1.b4094438	“ How about you, Stocker?
uc1.b4094438	“ How are you?
uc1.b4094438	“ How come? ” THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY 23 “ That's what we'd like to find the answer to,"answered Garvey.
uc1.b4094438	“ How come? ” he asked pointedly.
uc1.b4094438	“ How did he happen to die out there?
uc1.b4094438	“ How did you happen to pin her down on Harry Byers'tilt in the courts with Bailey Austin? ” Rogers asked Turner.
uc1.b4094438	“ How long had he been around? ” “ Oh — at Baker and Tonopah and here, I guess, eight- ten years.
uc1.b4094438	“ How long have you been out? ” Rogers asked, grinning at him in a friendly show of interest.
uc1.b4094438	“ How old a man was he, Dick?"
uc1.b4094438	“ How so? ”"Father would like to make things up with mother; that's why he's here in Death Valley.
uc1.b4094438	“ How so?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Hunt,"he began, addressing Rogers, a serious expres- sion in his restless blue eyes, “ will you do me a favor?"
uc1.b4094438	“ I agree with you. ” “ Why would anybody steal the body?
uc1.b4094438	“ I took a shot at a coyote about dusk this evening as I was coming down to the inn. ” “ Inside the monument?"
uc1.b4094438	“ I was n't sure it was you coming along there just now. ”"No? ”"Somehow I associate you with the Amargosa.
uc1.b4094438	“ I'm expecting Bailey Austin here at Death Valley in the next day or two —"“ Expecting him?"
uc1.b4094438	“ I'm wondering if we have time to run up to the Amar- gosa and make some inquiries there. ” “ But how about this other thing?
uc1.b4094438	“ If we eat now, what do we do about everything?
uc1.b4094438	“ If you do n't mind. ” “ Questions? ” he repeated.
uc1.b4094438	“ Is it Mrs. Treadwick? ”"Yeah.
uc1.b4094438	“ Is it the gun you took away from Byers at the inn?"
uc1.b4094438	“ It looks as I remember the signature on Lambert's letters. ” “ Did n't the man have any relatives at all?"
uc1.b4094438	“ It means that the body Dick found was not 232 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY Austin's body,""What do you think about the signatures?"
uc1.b4094438	“ It's the most amazing story I've ever encountered. ”"What's a ghost camp like Greenwater got to do with it? ” “ Not a great deal.
uc1.b4094438	“ Just how am I supposed to take that? ” she inquired icily.
uc1.b4094438	“ Listen, Bill, ” he asked,"are you going to the funeral?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Listen, Hunt, ” I said to Rogers as we drove along the deserted road, “ what are you doing this for?
uc1.b4094438	“ May I come in, gentlemen? ” Lola Long, the manager's wife, stood smiling on the threshold.
uc1.b4094438	“ Maybe I do. ” “ You and Foster went down together to get the body, did n't you? ” 126 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY “ Yes."
uc1.b4094438	“ Me?
uc1.b4094438	“ Nice climb yesterday?"
uc1.b4094438	“ No family. ” “ Not married?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Now, then, what else happened after Austin was dead, all identifying marks pointing to the identity of his victim?
uc1.b4094438	“ Odd, is n't it, here in the desert?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Oh, I am, am I? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4094438	“ Okeh. ” THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY “ What's the matter with me going along?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Otis, just what hap- pened up at the inn?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Plenty, Morris. ” “ The guy was strangled, was n't he? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4094438	“ Questions?
uc1.b4094438	“ Really?
uc1.b4094438	“ Really?
uc1.b4094438	“ Really? ” said Vivian Ellis with faint surprise.
uc1.b4094438	“ Relatives?
uc1.b4094438	“ Seen enough, have you, Hunt? ” Pine turned to him.
uc1.b4094438	“ Still investigating, you fellows?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Still — why the foun- tain pen cap and not the rest of the pen?
uc1.b4094438	“ Stocker is doing nicely, but they're not ready yet for him to leave his bed. ” “ That's the man who got shot last night?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Suicide? ” asked the doctor, picking up the word.
uc1.b4094438	“ That was two hundred and eighty- five, was n't it, Otis? ”"That's right, Dick.
uc1.b4094438	“ The Austin case has brought you out? ” His voice was charged with a subtle excitement.
uc1.b4094438	“ The man""Well, who was it?"
uc1.b4094438	“ The night man at the garage?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Then he did n't have a heart attack?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Then it could have been gone, and you could have been mistaken in thinking everything was all right? ” “ Yes, I guess I could have.
uc1.b4094438	“ There ai n't anything else in it, is there, Otis?
uc1.b4094438	“ There was an attempt at murder here at the camp half an hour or so ago. ”"Is that so? ” The man was matter- of- fact about it.
uc1.b4094438	“ There's some ground, though, for believing that he was from Detroit. ”"It was n't Judge Austin, was it?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Tire tracks? ” echoed the ranger.
uc1.b4094438	“ Too bad about that deputy named Stocker. ” “ What happened?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Twelve years ago. ” “ There were no children?
uc1.b4094438	“ Was he by himself? ” inquired Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	“ Well — what do we do, though? ” the deputy asked earnestly.
uc1.b4094438	“ What about the cigarette you borrowed from Lambert a while ago?"
uc1.b4094438	“ What about the other four? ” Rogers was already scanning them.
uc1.b4094438	“ What about them? ” Barton asked.
uc1.b4094438	“ What do you make of it, Hunt? ” demanded Stocker.
uc1.b4094438	“ What do you say that we get on up to the inn?
uc1.b4094438	“ What do you want to do? ” tow.
uc1.b4094438	“ What else have you discovered around here?"
uc1.b4094438	“ What have you found, Morris?"
uc1.b4094438	“ What is it, a build- up of some sort?
uc1.b4094438	“ What sort?
uc1.b4094438	“ What was the situation, Jerry, when you reached the wreck?"
uc1.b4094438	“ What's on your mind, Ed? ” the superintendent prodded him playfully.
uc1.b4094438	“ What's this I hear about a body being found in some lonesome valley?".
uc1.b4094438	“ What's troubling you all?
uc1.b4094438	“ When did you last see them in there? ” he inquired.
uc1.b4094438	“ When did you talk with him, Otis?
uc1.b4094438	“ When he left? ” “ Oh- ten- thirty; maybe quarter till."
uc1.b4094438	“ Where are we going? ” I asked as the motor leaped into life.
uc1.b4094438	“ Where you goin', Otis? ” Stocker's eyes shifted to the ranger.
uc1.b4094438	“ Which city?
uc1.b4094438	“ Which ones are they?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Who am I to say they're phony?
uc1.b4094438	“ Who else?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Who profited by the death of Austin?
uc1.b4094438	“ Who's he — this Lambert?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Who?
uc1.b4094438	“ Whom did you see walking along the road on your re- turn? ” “ George Downes. ” “ Mrs.
uc1.b4094438	“ Whose idea was it about patching things up?
uc1.b4094438	“ Why are the clothes so im- portant?
uc1.b4094438	“ Why do n't we go talk to Harvey Lefevre?
uc1.b4094438	“ Why do you ask that? ” Her dark eyes glowed deep in their sockets.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why is n't he guilty of John Foster's death, and the attempt on Dick Stocker's life?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Why is n't it Wallace Lambert who murdered the man we think is Judge Austin? ” I demanded of Rogers next morning at breakfast.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why not suggest it when we get back?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Why not walk the rest of the way? ” suggested Rogers.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why not? ” Rogers asked.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why not? ” The man, however, showed no disposition to hurry.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why not? ”"I do n't know why.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why not?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Why should n't I say the first thing that comes into my head, young man?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Why should n't I? ”"No reason at all why you should n't, if your eyes are open.
uc1.b4094438	“ Why, though, just in time? ” “ Maybe you can help us out.
uc1.b4094438	“ Wo n't you sit down for a few minutes? ” “ No, thank you.
uc1.b4094438	“ Would you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Yes. ” 264 THE AFFAIR IN DEATH VALLEY"Where's the motive?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Yes. ” “ Did you and Byers go inside? ” “ I stayed outside in the car.
uc1.b4094438	“ Yes. ”"Odd, do n't you think?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Yes?"
uc1.b4094438	“ You do n't suppose the old fellow saw the trap closing and took this way out, do you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ You drove up last night to Death Valley Junction, did n't you?
uc1.b4094438	“ You fellows saw the body I had in the truck, did n't you? ” he asked anxiously.
uc1.b4094438	“ You have n't heard about Lambert's accident, I guess. ” “ Accident?
uc1.b4094438	“ You know what it is, do n't you, Joe? ” Huntoon Rogers'voice startled me, coming as it did out of the darkness at my side.
uc1.b4094438	“ You mean deliberately drove off the road in order to kill him- self?"
uc1.b4094438	“ You mean that it was inside the car? ”"It must have been.
uc1.b4094438	“ You noticed Downes in there, did n't you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ You noticed that? ” he asked suspiciously.
uc1.b4094438	“ You said you were going up toward Greenwater?"
uc1.b4094438	“ You say you found him over in Pahrump Valley?"
uc1.b4094438	“ You're a writer of the Western scene, I understand. ”"Yes? ” “ My friend here is somebody you should meet.
uc1.b4094438	“ You're not the man, then, who claims to have a couple of letters that Judge Austin wrote? ” Turner asked.
uc1.b4094438	“ You've been around a long time, have n't you?"
uc1.b4094438	“ Your first time here? ” Rogers inquired, smiling.

umn.31951002087028s	But there's one thing I ’ve been certain of ever since I went into that Café Noir. ” “ What? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	But was n't it strange that I should dream that on the very night that he was shot?
umn.31951002087028s	But who?
umn.31951002087028s	But — was it very wrong?
umn.31951002087028s	But — we sha n’t hear that it came from either of them, Mr. Smith. ” “ You think not, Styler? ” exclaimed Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	But — what can we do? ” Smith smiled and lighted a fresh cigarette.
umn.31951002087028s	But — what ’s to be done, Hextall? ” 156 LYNNE COURT SPINNEY “ About what? ” asked Hextall, who was trying to think matters out.
umn.31951002087028s	But — what ’s to be done, Hextall? ” 156 LYNNE COURT SPINNEY “ About what? ” asked Hextall, who was trying to think matters out.
umn.31951002087028s	But — where's the district that ’s mapped, and what do these other details mean?
umn.31951002087028s	But — why should Kesteven wish to kill Paquita?
umn.31951002087028s	Ca n't the nurse sit down somewhere and wait?
umn.31951002087028s	Can I see her? ” Hextall, in virtue of his position as medical ad- viser, felt himself justified in taking a good look at his questioner.
umn.31951002087028s	Can you make it out? ” “ Not yet, ” answered Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Can you put a paper or two up about the village, offer- ing five pounds? ” he says.
umn.31951002087028s	Can you tell if this has been fired recently? ” Darrell took the spent cartridge and glanced at the casing, almost indifferently.
umn.31951002087028s	Come now, Mr. Tress; was he well dressed?
umn.31951002087028s	Day before yesterday, to be precise. ” “ Had you really? ” exclaimed Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Did I think this possible?—did I consider that possible?—had I noticed that?—had I seen this?
umn.31951002087028s	Did he borrow or win any money from you on the very first occasion of your meeting — that night at Reading? ” “ Not borrow.
umn.31951002087028s	Did n't I tell you Kesteven was an incarnation of the devil?
umn.31951002087028s	Did they tell you if they are going to act on Walters ’ information?
umn.31951002087028s	Did you know him when he came here first? ” “ Oddly enough, sir — no!
umn.31951002087028s	Did you pay the bills he incurred in that way? ” “ No, I did n't.
umn.31951002087028s	Did you see — anybody you know? ” Styler made no reply for a moment.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you follow that? ” “ My mind is not quite as subtle as yours, Smith, ” answered Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you guess why French Guiana concerns us? ” “ At present — no! ” replied Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you happen to recognize the descrip- tion? ” Smith looked at Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you make nothing of that? ” “ No! ” exclaimed Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you not see what it means — that fact that ſ Walters never heard a shot? ” “ Not exactly, ” answered Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you remember what I said to you when I came to your house that night?—that I ’d more than once felt that I could shoot him?
umn.31951002087028s	Do you see the difference? ” A LADY COMES: A LADY GOES 105 “ That! ” he remarked in a low voice.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you see, Hextall?
umn.31951002087028s	Do you think I shall have to give evidence, and all that sort of thing?
umn.31951002087028s	Do you think it's likely? ” he went on, turning eagerly to Hex- tall.
umn.31951002087028s	Do you think they will catch that dreadful man who shot him?
umn.31951002087028s	Do you think they'll find out?
umn.31951002087028s	Eh?
umn.31951002087028s	Eh? ” Smith stared, whistled, and snatched at the paper.
umn.31951002087028s	Eh? ” “ I suppose the police know that Samuel Pegge is Septimus Philcox? ” suggested Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Eh? ” “ I suppose the police know that Samuel Pegge is Septimus Philcox? ” suggested Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Every- thing was so — so very strange. ” “ What was it that was strange? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Far better tell me. ” “ Can I see my brother for a few minutes? ” she asked.
umn.31951002087028s	Fowler? ” exclaimed Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Good?
umn.31951002087028s	Had he money in his pocket?
umn.31951002087028s	Had he plenty of belongings with him in the shape of wardrobe and so on?
umn.31951002087028s	Have you had anything to drink to- day? ” “ No! ” growled Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	Have you? ” replied the superintendent, turning on his questioner quizzically.
umn.31951002087028s	Hextall — a London doctor, I be- lieve, sir? ”* The two medical men went outside and talked, and the police- superintendent turned to Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	How long, ” he added, turning to the superintendent, “ how long will it take us to get to Lynchfield? ” “ Lynchfield?
umn.31951002087028s	How long, ” he added, turning to the superintendent, “ how long will it take us to get to Lynchfield? ” “ Lynchfield?
umn.31951002087028s	How soon can you be ready? ” Darrell looked at his two companions.
umn.31951002087028s	I came to you, doctor, straight — yes?
umn.31951002087028s	I dare say you'll be surprised, gentlemen, but the fact is — the valet's split! ” “ The valet?
umn.31951002087028s	I go in and join my friend — yes?
umn.31951002087028s	I mean — how did he present himself to you?
umn.31951002087028s	I say — do you think she knows any- thing about this affair? ” “ That's a big question, ” replied Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	I say — we have n’t heard a word of Miss Brock. ” “ The governess?
umn.31951002087028s	I say!—suppose we go and have a look at it? ” He led the way upstairs, and Hextall and Smith followed.
umn.31951002087028s	I suppose a lot of folk walk about those woods? ” “ No they do n't, ” said the inspector.
umn.31951002087028s	I suppose it's safe, talking here? ” “ Safe enough, sir — ain't nobody about just here at this time o ’ night, ” said Polbeck.
umn.31951002087028s	I suppose you and he played cards a great deal, later on? ” “ Yes. ” “ Did you lose a great deal to him? ” “ Not exactly to him.
umn.31951002087028s	I suppose you and he played cards a great deal, later on? ” “ Yes. ” “ Did you lose a great deal to him? ” “ Not exactly to him.
umn.31951002087028s	I thought I should be glad to see it — and now I ’m not. ” “ Why? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	I thought, perhaps, that you would speak to them?—being the doctor. ” “ Where are they? ” asked Hextall, unwilling.
umn.31951002087028s	I wanted a governess for Ronnie, and he brought Miss Brock. ” “ You do n't think the boy is mistaken? ” suggested Hextall, after a pause.
umn.31951002087028s	I wanted to ask you — who was on dut the night you came down here — the first night? ” “ Nurse Hicks, doctor, ” she answered.
umn.31951002087028s	I was n’t interested. ” 124 LYNNE COURT SPINNEY “ What sort of condition was he in?
umn.31951002087028s	I – professional secrecy, you know, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	I — I'm afraid there may be trouble with that man, sir. ” “ How? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	I — the fact is, everything is in the hands of these people — police officials, do n't you know? — in here, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	I — the fact is, everything is in the hands of these people — police officials, do n't you know? — in here, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	I — what ’s happened? ” Hextall, instead of replying, gave him a dose of brandy.
umn.31951002087028s	I — what's the matter, Hextall? ” “ Sorry to interrupt you, old chap, ” said Hextall, who was obviously on pins and needles.
umn.31951002087028s	I ’m more than ever convinced that Tickell is as innocent of that murder as I am. ” “ Who's guilty, then? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	I'll tell him to keep his eyes open. ” “ Law gentleman, that, I reckon? ” observed the landlord inquisitively.
umn.31951002087028s	Instead of wasting all that time asking me questions, why do n't they go after that man who was seen with Miss Brock?
umn.31951002087028s	Is it true that the man Tickell has been found, and that you ’ve been to see him? ” Hextall reflected before he answered.
umn.31951002087028s	Is that so? ” “ So!
umn.31951002087028s	It was n't my affair — I was n't interested in that. ” “ You and he got on very well together? ” “ We got on all right, ” replied Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	Just that — do you see?.
umn.31951002087028s	Look well at the head of a rich man's table, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	MEN OF MYSTERY 123 “ What did you know? ” “ Well, I knew he was a good sort — a good pal – and so on, ” said Darrell lamely.
umn.31951002087028s	May I ask who the person was who made that inquiry?
umn.31951002087028s	Maybe you know more? ” “ No more than you do, ” replied Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	Mr.—er — Sty- ler, I think?
umn.31951002087028s	No, sir — that there man was n’t put an end to by any of our folk. ” “ I expect you know everybody in the place? ” ob- served Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	Not a really serious wound, I gather? ” “ The injury is not serious, ” answered Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Not a sign of a thing — beyond a pocket handkerchief and a pair of nail scissors. ” “ Well? ” remarked Smith calmly.
umn.31951002087028s	Not at all — when I say it to you, eh? ” “ Say it, for God's sake, then! ” said Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Now what do you deduce from that, officer? ” he went on, turning with an arch smile to the inspector.
umn.31951002087028s	Now what's the name of that bar? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Now — what do you think?
umn.31951002087028s	Now, can you trust this valet, Fowler? ” “ I think so, ” replied Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Now, did n't Mr. Tress say at that inquest that he met Kesteven at some race- meeting?
umn.31951002087028s	Now, do you know anything about Guiana? ” HALF A BIRD IN THE HAND 185 “ Not much, sir, except that it's in South America, ” answered Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	Now, how much? ” “ Oh — I do n’t know!
umn.31951002087028s	Now, how soon will that be? ” “ In a few days — if all goes on properly, ” replied Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Now, let me offer you some coffee? ” Hextall declined and went away with his colleague.
umn.31951002087028s	Now, look here, Mr. Tress — are those bank- notes part of the lot we ’ve heard about?
umn.31951002087028s	Now, supposing I give you my word of hon- our that you are mistaken? ” Chimbouloglos nodded readily enough, but Deme- triadi stared.
umn.31951002087028s	Now, what am I to do, sir, if that man returns?
umn.31951002087028s	Now, who is Mr. Tickell? ” “ I do n’t know! ” “ What do you know of Mr. Tickell?
umn.31951002087028s	Now, who is Mr. Tickell? ” “ I do n’t know! ” “ What do you know of Mr. Tickell?
umn.31951002087028s	Now, you have n't any idea where this young ass Darrell has got to? ” “ Not the least!
umn.31951002087028s	Oh – yes! ” “ Do you know anything of Mr. Kesteven? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Oh, my God, Hextall, you do n’t know what I ’ve gone through since — since — was it yester- day?
umn.31951002087028s	Oh- so it belongs to him, does it?
umn.31951002087028s	Per- haps the inspector will come with us?
umn.31951002087028s	Pretty woman? ” “ Uncommon, ” replied the landlord.
umn.31951002087028s	Private inquiry agent, eh? ” he continued, as if thinking aloud.
umn.31951002087028s	Pshaw!—how was it possible that this thing could have happened?
umn.31951002087028s	Queer, ai n't it? ” “ Well, I do n’t know, ” replied the landlord sagac- iously.
umn.31951002087028s	Quite so — but how?
umn.31951002087028s	Renton within? ” demanded Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	SPLENDID MISERY Who Is KESTEVEN?
umn.31951002087028s	See? ” “ You must n't touch anything, sir! ” said the in- spector warningly.
umn.31951002087028s	Shall I ask Miss Brock what Kesteven was doing here? ” Hextall quickly thought over this question.
umn.31951002087028s	She wanted you to come down. ” “ Is Miss Tress all right? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	She's also one of my most valued assistants. ” “ Yes? ” responded Hextall, who was already seeing what Smith was after.
umn.31951002087028s	Shot dead?
umn.31951002087028s	Smith in? ” “ No, he ai n’t, Doctor Hextall, and that ’s a fact, unusal as it is, ” answered Styler, cheerful and un- abashed.
umn.31951002087028s	Smith's clerk?
umn.31951002087028s	Smith? ’ ” Smith drew nearer, determined to get some satis- faction out of an awkward situation.
umn.31951002087028s	So I want to get back to hear his report. ” “ What did he find out about Kesteven — isn’t that yet ripe for telling? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	So that — do you see? ” “ The somebody is probably a French convict! ” ex- claimed Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	So we may work up something from that — I’ve got a bit of a start of a theory of my own about that matter. ” “ What? ” asked Hex: áil.
umn.31951002087028s	Somebody introduce you? ” “ No.
umn.31951002087028s	Still — we know where that marriage took place. ” “ Why do you insist on its being a woman who took it? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	THE SHAVING POT 95 — if Kesteven was with Tress at Boulogne, how could the boy have seen him here, talking to the governess, that night?
umn.31951002087028s	Tell me — will this man hold his tongue? ”- “ I paid him to hold it, ” answered Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	That is so?
umn.31951002087028s	The devil — that ’s Kesteven — is too much for heaven and earth and me all rolled into a lump! ” “ Who is Mr. Kesteven? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	There's a garage close by this hotel — shall I go and order the best car I can get? ” “ At once, ” agreed Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	There's a lot behind the superficial facts of the story. ” “ You think so? ” said Hextall, uneasily.
umn.31951002087028s	There's nothing more you learnt from the landlady? ” “ Nothing, ” answered Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	These gentlemen — friends of yours? ” “ You ’ve met me before, ” interposed Smith sud- denly.
umn.31951002087028s	They are?
umn.31951002087028s	They were playing pool. ” “ Both sober? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	Those London folks of yours made any inquiry here about this Miss Brock affair yet? ” “ Not yet, ” answered the inspector.
umn.31951002087028s	Those two — going in there — together? ” “ But there was a third, ” said Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	To- morrow, says you?—now, what hour, and where? ” Smith replied to that question.
umn.31951002087028s	Tress, sir, he'd evidently been dining rather freely — you understand?
umn.31951002087028s	Tress?
umn.31951002087028s	Understand? ” Hextall nodded gloomily, and Smith gave the driver the address of Tress's flat and waved him off.
umn.31951002087028s	WHO IS KESTEVEN2 45 “ Do you know him? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	Was he well dressed — did he seem to be in good circumstances? ” The valet laughed sneeringly.
umn.31951002087028s	Was it another job by the same hand, that? ” “ If I was to tell you what I think, ” replied Styler, “ I would be here all day.
umn.31951002087028s	Was it possible?
umn.31951002087028s	We come to London for a little pleasure, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	We follow them — yes? ” “ Do n't! ” urged Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	We go there if we do n’t get satisfaction here, you understand?
umn.31951002087028s	Well — no objection — little what you call spree, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	Well, here was the 15th – the fifteenth day of May — half- way between the appointed limited dates?
umn.31951002087028s	Well, now, during the hour that you were out there, did you hear a shot fired? ” “ No, sir — most certainly not!
umn.31951002087028s	Well,| THE ESMONDHAUGH PEDIGREE 259 and how are you getting on?
umn.31951002087028s	What I want to know is — are you going to arrest my sister? ” The elder detective smiled.
umn.31951002087028s	What about a motorcar? ” “ A motor- car for you — I can ride my motor- bike, ” replied Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	What about you? ” “ I ’ve arranged to stay here until to- morrow, ” an- swered Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	What about?
umn.31951002087028s	What am I to do if this man comes again, sir? ”.
umn.31951002087028s	What brings you? ” “ Something that will interest you, ” answered Hex- tall.
umn.31951002087028s	What do you say, Dr. Hex- tall? ” “ A clever explanation, Styler! ” said Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	What is it?
umn.31951002087028s	What is my brother doing? ” “ Your brother is considering, how he can look after you and keep you quiet. ” replied Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	What shall I do?
umn.31951002087028s	What then?
umn.31951002087028s	What was the im- petuous Styler after?
umn.31951002087028s	What — the name does n't recall anything to you?
umn.31951002087028s	What's happened? ” Fowler gave the other members of the group a com- prehensive glance.
umn.31951002087028s	What's he like?
umn.31951002087028s	What's the use of my — but what's the use of talking to you?
umn.31951002087028s	What's this silence mean? ” “ That's is precisely what I'm endeavouring to find out, ” replied Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	When a man's only capital is his brain, sir — eh? ” “ You mean, that Kesteven knows how to take care of his? ” said Hextall, smiling.
umn.31951002087028s	When a man's only capital is his brain, sir — eh? ” “ You mean, that Kesteven knows how to take care of his? ” said Hextall, smiling.
umn.31951002087028s	Where was he living when you first knew him? ” Darrell shook his head.
umn.31951002087028s	Who was John Kest- even?
umn.31951002087028s	Why are most English folk such hypocrites? ” Hextall got up hastily.
umn.31951002087028s	Why?
umn.31951002087028s	Will that fetch Cuba Sam?
umn.31951002087028s	Will you really have to go back to London — at once? ” “ Must! ” replied Hextall with forced determina- tion.
umn.31951002087028s	You must admit that there's evidence there which might connect Miss Tress with Kesteven's death?
umn.31951002087028s	You say ‘ of course, ” so, of course, you know? ” “ I only know, ” answered Darrell slowly, “ that I knew him as John Kesteven.
umn.31951002087028s	You understand, do n't you?
umn.31951002087028s	You understand? ” “ Quite so, sir — nobody better.
umn.31951002087028s	You want me to help? ” “ If you will! ” exclaimed Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	You're sure he is?
umn.31951002087028s	You've something to tell us? ” Demetriadi sat down and pulled out his cigarette- CaSe.
umn.31951002087028s	You've the money ready, I reckon, gentlemen? ” Styler contrived to nudge Smith, and took the an- swer to this question upon himself.
umn.31951002087028s	You, of course, do n't know anything about it? ” The vicar, who had glanced at the copy, elevated his eyebrows and uttered a sharp exclamation.
umn.31951002087028s	Your flat's big enough for you and your sister and brother, is n’t it? ” “ By gad, that's a good notion, and we'll do it! ” answered Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	s “ Where did he live before that?
umn.31951002087028s	t “ So you went there, Mrs. Renton? ” he remarked.
umn.31951002087028s	— confound it!—what was it about? ” Juts then Styler found himself abreast of one of the entrance gates of The Warren.
umn.31951002087028s	“ A telegram, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ All right, captain — English sovereigns, of course? ” “ English sovereigns is the word, sir, ” answered Polbeck.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Am I going to have softening of the brain?
umn.31951002087028s	“ And I also said that I'd tell you about that dis- covery later on? ” continued Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ And how is it that he exercises this bad influence on your brother? ” “ I ’d give everything to know who Kesteven is! ” she exclaimed.
umn.31951002087028s	“ And no doubt somebody — if the men were detec- tives — has examined whatever Miss Brock left there? ” said Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ And — Kesteven? ” she said at last.
umn.31951002087028s	“ And — and it ’s a lady. ” “ A lady? ” replied Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Any shot, for instance? ” “ Nothing, ” she replied.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Anything to tell me? ” he asked, taking her aside.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Are you a doctor? ” “ I am, ” answered Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ As you witnessed the affair, how did she get shot? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ At his request? ” exclaimed Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Bar, tavern, public- house, or whatever it is? ” “ Aykin's Bar — that's how it's called.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Bed, eh? ” “ His man took him in charge, ” answered Hextall, grimly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Black- mail? ” “ No – not that.
umn.31951002087028s	“ But what can these people know? ” “ How does anybody know what we know? ” growled Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ But what can these people know? ” “ How does anybody know what we know? ” growled Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ But what she can have been after — may we inspect that register? ” he added, suddenly interrupting him- self.
umn.31951002087028s	“ But — just how? ” “ Ca n't you do something to get Darrell away from this man? ” she replied.
umn.31951002087028s	“ But — just how? ” “ Ca n't you do something to get Darrell away from this man? ” she replied.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Ca n't think of any more, nohow. ” “ Did you hear the name of the man whose escape was being planned? ” askedSmith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Ca n't you help me? ” she said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Ca n't you tell us anything, Major? ” he asked earnestly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Can I drive you back to the Court? ” she asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Can you and Dr. Hextall come home, sir? ” he said anxiously.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Come down about this affair at the Court, I reckon? ” he said eyeing Styler's sharp countenance.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Delicate work, is n't it?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Did he know Mr. Kesteven before you came to England? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Did you give them your ideas about Kesteven? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Did you hear anything of this business? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Did you hear that, Styler?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do n’t I? ” she answered.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you hear that, Styler?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you know how and when Mr. Tress met him? ” he inquired.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you know who put this wreath on the grave? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you really think it might have been a woman's work? ” “ Why not?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you really think it might have been a woman's work? ” “ Why not?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you really think you ’re going to find out who did it — in either case?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you think he was fit to play?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you think there's any connexion between Phil- cox or Pegge, and what's just happened? ” inquired Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do you, really? ” “ I do n't know whether it's likely or unlikely, ” an- swered Hextall, again conscious of a vague uneasiness º.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Do — do, you really think that is Tickell — do you? ” The police- superintendent, bustling forward, over- heard Darrell ’s words.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Eh — eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Endeavour? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ From about eleven forty- five to ten minutes to one. ” “ Was it a very still night? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Gold? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Gone round there, eh? ” he said with a sly wink.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Good Lord!—so this is where he's put himself, is it? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Heard anything? ” “ Nothing, but that Tickell's dead, ” replied Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Hello, Hextall? ” he said, in a voice as mild and gentle as his looks.
umn.31951002087028s	“ How did you know that Tickell had what you call that money on him? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ How will that do? ” he asked, when he had laid the sheet of foolscap before the seaman.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I did. ” “ I suppose somebody sent it to you to place there, then? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I hope you have left your patient all right?
umn.31951002087028s	“ I hope you've adopted a consistent line all through with them?
umn.31951002087028s	“ I mean — it ’s not left in trust for him? ” “ Oh, it's all Darrell's, every penny and every acre, ” she answered.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I suppose I ’ll have to go? ” “ You ’ll certainly have to go, for you ’ll be the most important witness, ” replied Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I suppose you do?
umn.31951002087028s	“ I suppose you ’ve heard, then?
umn.31951002087028s	“ I suppose you ’ve no further information? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I thought I ’d better mention it, because as you ’re attending Miss Tress, you wo n’t want her disturbed. ” “ Well? ” said Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I was n’t present, of course. ” “ Who ’s with her? ” demanded Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ I ’m wondering, ” he muttered, “ how long it would have taken Styler and myself to work round to that grim conclusion?
umn.31951002087028s	“ If I speak plain to you, it is not so plain as I can speak to the police — eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ In the hall? ” “ No, sir — I did n’t let them in.
umn.31951002087028s	“ In what condition was Kesteven when he came?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Ingenious young hand, is n't he? ” he chuckled.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Is there any one who could come to Miss Tress — any sisters? ” The valet shook his head.
umn.31951002087028s	“ It would save such a lot of un- pleasantness, would n’t it?
umn.31951002087028s	“ It- it seems almost provi- dential, does n’t it?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Kesteven ’s? ” “ Not in his name, ” replied Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Law gentleman, no doubt? ” “ Something of that sort, ” answered Styler, as he rolled a cigarette.
umn.31951002087028s	“ May I come in? ” she demanded eagerly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Miss Tress tells me that she is in your hands, Dr. Hextall, so I must apply to you, I sup- pose?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Must ha'done it — nobody else for it. ” “ It could n’t have been poachers now, could it? ” suggested Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Never heard it! ” “ You never heard him referred to by, say, a nick- name? ” “ No!
umn.31951002087028s	“ Not so many to know, is there? ” “ I know every man Jack of'em in Lynne, ” an- swered the landlord.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Nothing more come to light — here? ” “ Nothing!
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now what did Walters tell you? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now what do you make of that, Hextall? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now what is it that you precisely wish?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now where did you find it? ’ says he.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now, just to be businesslike, what's the exact amount agreed upon?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now, what is it? ” “ What you can guess, I should think, if you have the observation I credit you with, ” she answered.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now, why, pray? ” “ Both of'em's a deal too fly, sir, ” answered Styler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Now, ” he said in a whisper, “ we make our strat- egy, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Of course, you'd notice it, eh? ” “ No, I had n’t particularly noticed that, ” answered the inspector.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Oh, in that case! ” he said, spreading out his hands; “ of course, I have no more to say, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ One of you two nurses always sleeps there, of course? ” Nurse Palliser showed some surprise.
umn.31951002087028s	“ One of your two Greek gentlemen, of course? ” he muttered.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Or is he a recent acquaint- ance? ” “ I ’ll tell you everything, ” she said with sudden impetuousness.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Or — get him away from Darrell?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Queer business, ai n't it? ” THE CABBAGE PLANTER 109 “ Ah! ” agreed the landlord.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Quite respectable, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ So that's him as he is nowadays, is it?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Some- thing else gone wrong?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Something that's occurred in your practice? ” he asked, when the clerk had gone away.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Still on the look round? ” observed he, who knew well enough that Styler and his master were what he called amateur dabblers in his own science.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Supposing you'd picked that scrap of paper up — anyw, ere — how would it strike you?
umn.31951002087028s	“ That do for you, captain? ” “ Suit me precisely, sir, ” answered Polbeck.
umn.31951002087028s	“ That's certain! ” “ Your day's work? ” suggested Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ That's your little brother's governess? ” he asked, turning to Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	“ The dark- faced fellow with the bit of pointed moustache? ” “ I saw him. ” “ He was here last night.
umn.31951002087028s	“ The great thing that will have to be gone into in this case is — who really was John Kesteven?
umn.31951002087028s	“ The next word is — Why?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Then — she ’s in danger? ” he muttered.
umn.31951002087028s	“ These!—all correct — eh? ” continued Mr. Victor Demetriadi.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Unusu- ally cool! ” “ How would you reckon him up? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ We are taking it in turns. ” “ For the whole night at a stretch? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002087028s	“ We show you how it is, eh?
umn.31951002087028s	“ We ’ve only been in England a few months, and 99 “ Has your sister no women friends? ” asked Hex-.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Well — what? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Well, doctor? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Well? ” he said, looking at the valet.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Well? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What about Walters? ” “ I think he's gone out of his mind, sir, ” replied Fowler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What did you think of the coffee- drinking gentle- man? ”- “ Cool customer, ” answered the other.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What do you know about her? ” “ Nothing!
umn.31951002087028s	“ What do you see? ” “ Why, this, ” replied Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What do you want me to do? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What is it now, Fowler? ” he demanded.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What is it, Fowler? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What is it?
umn.31951002087028s	“ What next? ” The inspector seemed grieved that his dramatic an- nouncement had produced no effect.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What nickname, now? ” “ Cuba Sam, ” answered Polbeck promptly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What — during the night? ” “ Night, or early morning, sir, whenever it was, ” answered Fowler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What! — when she stick a revolver at my head, and threaten to blow out my brains if I do n’t put back the money I have fairly won?
umn.31951002087028s	“ What!—you think I do n't know what is a revolver — me? ” “ We must n't stand talking here all day, ” said Hex- tall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ What's the matter with Tress?
umn.31951002087028s	“ What? ” Demetriadi waved his hand with an expressive ges- ture.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Where, ” he went on, turning to the valet, “ where is Mrs. Renton? ” “ Drawing- room, sir, ” replied Fowler promptly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Who else?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Who is on duty to- night in Miss Tress's dressing room? ” he asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Whose body is it? ” inquired the legal gentleman sharply.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Why — I thought he was going to stay and look after you? ” “ So he did — for a few hours, ” she replied dis- mally.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Why? ” “ You ’ve seen Miss Paquita; you ’ve seen the elder brother; now I want you to see the younger one.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Yes? ” he asked quietly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Yes? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Yes? ” said Hextall, wonderingly.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You are — eh?—sur- prised?
umn.31951002087028s	“ You can?
umn.31951002087028s	“ You do n't?
umn.31951002087028s	“ You do n’t know where these two are, do you? ” “ Oh, yes, I do! ” she answered.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You know it? ” “ Oh, that's her writing all right, ” asserteſ'Darrell.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You like that atmosphere? ” “ Love it! ” answered Styler, polishing himself vigorously with a towel.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You mean to set him to work? ” “ I mean to set the smartest sleuth- hound that I know of to work, ” answered Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You permit, eh? ” he said.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You saw that man who put the money back on the table, sir? ” asked Fowler.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You think it's an affair that ought to be looked into? ” “ Oh, certainly!
umn.31951002087028s	“ You think there is no privacy nowadays? ” she asked.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You want to speak to me? ” asked Hextall, inter- preting the look into a desire for conversation.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You — what? ” said Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ You ’ll see that'll all turn out to be absolutely cor- rect — certain! ” “ What do you suppose it refers to? ” asked Hextall.
umn.31951002087028s	“ Young widow you say?
umn.31951002087028s	“ Yours sincerely, “ SoPHIA BRock. ” “ That's Miss Brock's writing, I suppose,"ress? ” asked Smith.
umn.31951002087028s	“ ‘ And remittances. ” Make them last words read, ‘ Be ready for further instructions and re- mittances. ’ See?

uva.x000235150	And why should I?
uva.x000235150	And yet you are not happy?
uva.x000235150	And you dare n't trust her here with me, old chap, is that it?
uva.x000235150	And you live — where?
uva.x000235150	Any luck?
uva.x000235150	Any news from the traveller?
uva.x000235150	Any news from your nursery governess friends?
uva.x000235150	Are either of you in love with her?
uva.x000235150	Are they real people who live in these quaint cot- tages?
uva.x000235150	Are we so much alike, then?
uva.x000235150	Are you a socialist?

uva.x000235150	Did you see that?
uva.x000235150	Do I understand that you are proposing an alliance?
uva.x000235150	Do all young Englishmen talk to casual ac- quaintances in this unrestrained fashion?
uva.x000235150	Do n't you think that Myrtile is happy?
uva.x000235150	Do n't you think, after all the discouragement I have received, I was very brave to come and beard your aunt?
uva.x000235150	Do tell me what you would prefer?
uva.x000235150	Do you know anything about the two women at the next villa, Mary?
uva.x000235150	Do you know who those two ladies were?
uva.x000235150	Do you know,she said,"that I have not seen Monsieur Gerald for three days?"
uva.x000235150	Do you mean to say, Gerald, that no wit- nesses at all were called?
uva.x000235150	Do you still feel that you do n't want to go back?
uva.x000235150	Do you think,she scoffed,"that I shall stay here with him if I can get hold of half that sum you spoke of?
uva.x000235150	Do you wish to represent more?
uva.x000235150	Does any one know her?
uva.x000235150	Doing pretty well at the Bar, is n't he?
uva.x000235150	Every one all right at Hinterleys?
uva.x000235150	Exactly what do you mean, Christopher?
uva.x000235150	For what?
uva.x000235150	Forget your visit?
uva.x000235150	From England?
uva.x000235150	From Madame de Poniere?
uva.x000235150	Gerald told me, 224 THE MYSTERY ROADHonest?"
uva.x000235150	Gerald, what have you been up to?
uva.x000235150	Gerald,he said,"were you thinking of breaking your trust?"
uva.x000235150	Gerald,she asked,"have you seen or heard any- thing of the De Ponieres?"
uva.x000235150	Gerald?
uva.x000235150	Give him up? uva.x000235150 Had he,"she asked,"the air of a man who has been losing?"
uva.x000235150	Has Gerald told you of the latest developments witK regard to Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	Has he shown you all the sights, Myr- tile?
uva.x000235150	Has he spoken of me? uva.x000235150 Has she ever mentioned the subject of money, di- rectly or indirectly?"
uva.x000235150	Have I acknowledged the acquaintance?
uva.x000235150	Have n't you even the grace to pretend?
uva.x000235150	Have n't you people played yet?
uva.x000235150	Have you anything against it?
uva.x000235150	Have you found a post for her, or something?
uva.x000235150	Have you found out who she is?
uva.x000235150	Have you heard the news?
uva.x000235150	Have you no idea who she is?
uva.x000235150	He does not often come, but who knows when he might take it into his head to pay us a visit?
uva.x000235150	He is losing, then?
uva.x000235150	He is noble, then? uva.x000235150 Here in Monte Carlo?"
uva.x000235150	How am I to get rid of this persistent young man?
uva.x000235150	How can you think that it would not be well for me to be where you are? uva.x000235150 How do you know that?"
uva.x000235150	How do you propose,Gerald enquired,"that I approach Krossneys?"
uva.x000235150	How is every one?
uva.x000235150	How long do you remain in London, Lord Dom- bey?
uva.x000235150	How long have you been keeping that bottled up, Chris?
uva.x000235150	How long have you known Lord Dombey?
uva.x000235150	How much do you know of your brother's visit to Russia?
uva.x000235150	I am to remember, I suppose,Gerald said thickly,"that you were the Varsity boxing champion?"
uva.x000235150	I did n't exaggerate, did I, Chris?
uva.x000235150	I know that I ought to have turned back,he said,"but, after all, was n't it much more natural of me to come on?
uva.x000235150	I shall have the pleasure of wishing Madame fare- well?
uva.x000235150	I shall not see you again to- night, then, Monsieur Lord Dombey?
uva.x000235150	I should still like to know what you are going to do with her when we arrive?
uva.x000235150	I understand,Gerald said,"that you reached Sokar?"
uva.x000235150	I?
uva.x000235150	If I buy the necklace,Gerald proposed bluntly,"will you tell me how and where to find Mademoiselle de Poniere?"
uva.x000235150	If the girl herself wo n't help you,Christopher re- plied,"how can any one else?"
uva.x000235150	If your aunt is such a stickler for propriety, surely I can find some one to present me?
uva.x000235150	In Monte Carlo?
uva.x000235150	In Scotland?
uva.x000235150	In time to take your orders for lunch, eh? uva.x000235150 In what respect have I merited this severe criticism?"
uva.x000235150	In what respect?
uva.x000235150	In what way?
uva.x000235150	Is it a party which mademoiselle desires to at- tend?
uva.x000235150	Is it for your ingenue you fear, or yourself?
uva.x000235150	Is it longer?
uva.x000235150	Is n't it just possible, perhaps,she ventured,"that those other thoughts were the wisest?"
uva.x000235150	Is n't that a little extreme?
uva.x000235150	Is n't that a little rash?
uva.x000235150	Is no one going to say nice things to us others?
uva.x000235150	Is she different, then, from other girls faced with an uncomfortable home situation?
uva.x000235150	Is she very beautiful?
uva.x000235150	Is there one?
uva.x000235150	It appears to me,Gerald proposed,"that we had better discuss this matter in my rooms over a bottle of wine — a bottle of champagne, eh?
uva.x000235150	It is a wonderful stroke of fortune, is n't it?
uva.x000235150	It is good news?
uva.x000235150	It is, perhaps, the man whom I sent you to seek?
uva.x000235150	It was rather a rash promise,he admitted,"but after all, why not?
uva.x000235150	Kind of hazel, are n't they?
uva.x000235150	Let me know, at least, where I should be likely to meet her?
uva.x000235150	Let us hear how this money is to be paid?
uva.x000235150	Madame de Poniere,he said,"do I understand THE MYSTERY ROAD 185 that I have your permission to pay my addresses to your niece?"
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle de Poniere,Gerald continued, ap- pealing to Pauline,"will you be my wife?"
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle desires that I shall attend her?
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle desires them for this evening?
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle desires to see our new models?
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle is of the haut monde, perhaps?
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle would perhaps care for a little THE MYSTERY ROAD 161 stroll upon the balcony?
uva.x000235150	May I ask, were you married to the Grand Duke when I fetched him from his prison?
uva.x000235150	May I be permitted to recall myself to the recollec- tion of Madame de Poniere?
uva.x000235150	May I come to your party to- night, Gerald — now?
uva.x000235150	May I come with you?
uva.x000235150	Meanwhile, may I be allowed to ask, as between us two, — do I know you or do I not?
uva.x000235150	Monsieur Gerald, he is not with you?
uva.x000235150	Monsieur Zubin?
uva.x000235150	Monsieur gambles?
uva.x000235150	Must we start now?
uva.x000235150	Must you rush off so soon on your first evening?
uva.x000235150	My dear Myrtile, I wonder if you realise how charming you are?
uva.x000235150	My dear fellow,Christopher exclaimed,"what on earth has happened?"
uva.x000235150	Myrtile dear, will you listen to me?
uva.x000235150	Myrtile, do n't you want to be good?
uva.x000235150	Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	Mystery, milord?
uva.x000235150	News?
uva.x000235150	Not hungry?
uva.x000235150	Not so bad, this little dwelling, eh?
uva.x000235150	Nothing serious, I hope, sir?
uva.x000235150	Of what use is money when your feet dangle in the air and your neck is broken? uva.x000235150 One of them was called Pauline — his sweetheart, eh?"
uva.x000235150	Or shall I go and play baccarat? uva.x000235150 Order some more cigarettes, will you?
uva.x000235150	Pauline, do you like me a little?
uva.x000235150	Poland?
uva.x000235150	Really? uva.x000235150 Really?"
uva.x000235150	Shall I really be brave and call, Gerald? uva.x000235150 Shall I remove her from temptation?"
uva.x000235150	Shall we go and see Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	So these are they?
uva.x000235150	So this is your first night, Mademoiselle?
uva.x000235150	So you dabble in politics, eh? uva.x000235150 So you thought you were rich for life, did you, Elsa?"
uva.x000235150	Supposing I accede,Krossneys went on, after a short pause,"how do you propose to get Number Twenty- nine out of the country?"
uva.x000235150	Tell me at once what you know, Pauline?
uva.x000235150	Tell me his name?
uva.x000235150	Tell me whether to play trente et quarante or rou- lette to- night, Gerald?
uva.x000235150	Tell me, Annette,she begged,"who are these guests of Milord Dombey?
uva.x000235150	Tell me, Gerald, what do you think of it all?
uva.x000235150	Tell me, what is your nationality?
uva.x000235150	Tell me,he whispered,"who is that young lady?"
uva.x000235150	Tell us where to find these Englishmen?
uva.x000235150	Ten thousand pounds?
uva.x000235150	That ohild? uva.x000235150 That seems to make your explanation a little in- sufficient, does it not?"
uva.x000235150	Then may I become your suitor,he pleaded,"hop- ing that you will change your mind when you find that I am very much in earnest?"
uva.x000235150	Then there was a child whom you and your friend found at a mountain farm — she became your ward, did she not? uva.x000235150 Then why do they look at me so strangely?"
uva.x000235150	Then why do you look so disturbed every time the girl's name is mentioned?
uva.x000235150	There is some one for whom you care?
uva.x000235150	They propose, perhaps, to betroth you?
uva.x000235150	This Major Krossneys,Gerald enquired,"does he speak French?"
uva.x000235150	This place is full of that sort of people, is n't it?
uva.x000235150	Thou art ready to return, Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	To leave the subject of our mysterious neighbours, then, have you succeeded in finding any employment for your little protegee yet?
uva.x000235150	To my aunt?
uva.x000235150	To- morrow afternoon?
uva.x000235150	Twenty- nine or thirty- nine — what does it matter? uva.x000235150 Was he playing?"
uva.x000235150	Was n't there something rather strange about the way they left Monte Carlo?
uva.x000235150	We will start you, little one — tell me, how are you called?
uva.x000235150	Well, what does milord think?
uva.x000235150	Well,he said,"what are you going to do about it?"
uva.x000235150	Well?
uva.x000235150	What about His Excellency the Governor?
uva.x000235150	What are you two conspiring about?
uva.x000235150	What can I do for mademoiselle?
uva.x000235150	What can we do?
uva.x000235150	What did the young man say?
uva.x000235150	What do you call a great deal of money?
uva.x000235150	What do you mean by that?
uva.x000235150	What do you mean by'sensibly', old chap?
uva.x000235150	What do you want with them?
uva.x000235150	What do you want?
uva.x000235150	What does Gerald say about*?
uva.x000235150	What does this madman mean?
uva.x000235150	What happens to all those others,she asked,"who go through life as I shall go through it?
uva.x000235150	What has that to do with thee, my friend?
uva.x000235150	What is it, old chap?
uva.x000235150	What is mademoiselle's attitude towards you when you are alone?
uva.x000235150	What is to become of you, then, Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	What news should there be from England? uva.x000235150 What of it?"
uva.x000235150	What of it?
uva.x000235150	What of this?
uva.x000235150	What on earth is the mystery about them?
uva.x000235150	What precisely do you want of us?
uva.x000235150	What should you do, Annette?
uva.x000235150	What were you doing when we came in?
uva.x000235150	What would you have us do?
uva.x000235150	Whatabout Bourne End?"
uva.x000235150	What, alone?
uva.x000235150	What, another adventure?
uva.x000235150	Where is Gerald this morning?
uva.x000235150	Where is she?
uva.x000235150	Where is she?
uva.x000235150	Where is the Governor?
uva.x000235150	Where is the young person now?
uva.x000235150	Where is this other man?
uva.x000235150	Where shall I pick you up?
uva.x000235150	Who are her friends? uva.x000235150 Who are you?"
uva.x000235150	Who is she?
uva.x000235150	Who is this prisoner whose freedom you seek?
uva.x000235150	Why do I make myself furious?
uva.x000235150	Why not now? uva.x000235150 Why not?"
uva.x000235150	Why not?
uva.x000235150	Why should I?
uva.x000235150	Why, what has become of the evening?
uva.x000235150	Why?
uva.x000235150	Will the same sum content you, Leschamps?
uva.x000235150	Will you keep my secret, please, Mary, and forget my visit?
uva.x000235150	Will you think so to- night?
uva.x000235150	Will you?
uva.x000235150	Word of honour?
uva.x000235150	Would you like me to try and find out?
uva.x000235150	Would you like to stop for a moment?
uva.x000235150	Yes?
uva.x000235150	Yes?
uva.x000235150	You are a Russian?
uva.x000235150	You are not cross with me, Christopher?
uva.x000235150	You are ready, Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	You bought my necklace?
uva.x000235150	You ca n't imagine that they will take her in at the hotel, without any luggage and in our com- pany?
uva.x000235150	You can not even tell me what relation they were to Monsieur Zubin?
uva.x000235150	You can tell us, perhaps, the way to Cannes?
uva.x000235150	You do n't mind my saying, do you, that you are the sort of girl whom young men would want to know?
uva.x000235150	You do not approve of these clothes?
uva.x000235150	You do not think Monsieur Gerald will be searching for us?
uva.x000235150	You found it hot in the city?
uva.x000235150	You go there often, perhaps?
uva.x000235150	You have been happy, Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	You have bought the presents for your supper party?
uva.x000235150	You have enjoyed yourself, on the whole?
uva.x000235150	You leave to- morrow?
uva.x000235150	You live so near and you have never been even as far as this?
uva.x000235150	You look very nice,Christopher assured her,?'
uva.x000235150	You mean that these people who seem so happy are not in earnest?
uva.x000235150	You mean that you are sorry that Christopher in- terfered? uva.x000235150 You recognise the man, then?"
uva.x000235150	You see that?
uva.x000235150	You speak English?
uva.x000235150	You speak German, eh?
uva.x000235150	You understand that I should not do anything with- out his approval?
uva.x000235150	You were present in court, I suppose, Gerald?
uva.x000235150	You will come and see me in London?
uva.x000235150	You will come for another ride soon — perhaps to- morrow?
uva.x000235150	You will come in and see my home?
uva.x000235150	You will like it?
uva.x000235150	You will permit me to call, perhaps, at the Villa?
uva.x000235150	You will understand that your — shall I call it admiration? uva.x000235150 You wish to leave home, I understand?"
uva.x000235150	You wish to see me, sir? uva.x000235150 You wo n't mind if I take him off now, sir?
uva.x000235150	You wo n't mind my cigarette, sir?
uva.x000235150	You would like to shorten our drive?
uva.x000235150	You would n't consider, I suppose,he suggested,"telling me your history now that we are on a slightly different footing?"
uva.x000235150	You'll have another try, I suppose? uva.x000235150 You're not going to lecture me?"
uva.x000235150	You're not going to stay in town till then?
uva.x000235150	You're not thinking about Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	Your Highness'explanation is complete?
uva.x000235150	Your little protegee?
uva.x000235150	'*'Why, how old are you, my friend?"
uva.x000235150	*'Ca n't I have some beer?"
uva.x000235150	-"Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	114 THE MYSTERY ROAD"Who are you?"
uva.x000235150	138 THE MYSTERY ROAD"But what are you going to do with the necklace?"
uva.x000235150	244 THE MYSTERY ROAD"Why did you not come to me direct instead of going to Elsa Francks?"
uva.x000235150	28 THE MYSTERY ROAD"You're not comparing our little protegee from the hills with — with her, are you?"
uva.x000235150	288 THE MYSTERY ROAD"But what made her want to leave?"
uva.x000235150	58 THE MYSTERY ROAD"Why should I tell you anything about myself?"
uva.x000235150	98 THE MYSTERY ROAD"What about a short walk before lunch?"
uva.x000235150	Am I not right, Gerald?"
uva.x000235150	And again, how will this num- ber twenty- nine get safely out of Russia?"
uva.x000235150	And was it her fancy, or was there something in his face which she had seen in the faces of those others?
uva.x000235150	And what is there to believe?"
uva.x000235150	And why should I believe in you?
uva.x000235150	And you, Monsieur Leschamps, at what figure do you put your expenses in preparing for your wedding which will never take place?"
uva.x000235150	Are n't they rather expecting you down there?"
uva.x000235150	Are there any queens or royal princesses wandering about the world nowadays, Chris?
uva.x000235150	Are you coming, Christopher?"
uva.x000235150	Are you going to tell Gerald?"
uva.x000235150	Are you not sorry that you ever brought me away?"
uva.x000235150	Are you sure that you love this young lady?"
uva.x000235150	At what price do you, Monsieur Sargot, place your daughter's services?
uva.x000235150	But of what avail was it?
uva.x000235150	But this child — is n't she amazing, Christopher?
uva.x000235150	But what does it matter?
uva.x000235150	But why can not he be at least kind like you?
uva.x000235150	CHAPTER XIX"WtLL I do?"
uva.x000235150	Ca n't take you, I suppose?"
uva.x000235150	Ca n't you see for yourself how wonderful she is?
uva.x000235150	Can I not slip away before he returns?"
uva.x000235150	Christopher has explained to you about this post in England?"
uva.x000235150	Did you see that?"
uva.x000235150	Do n't you want some tea, Myrtile?
uva.x000235150	Do you know anything about them?"
uva.x000235150	Do you know whether he played last night?"
uva.x000235150	Do you under- stand?"
uva.x000235150	Do you want me to com- plain to the manager?"
uva.x000235150	Has he said anything about sending me back?"
uva.x000235150	Has mademoiselle no curiosity to see life?"
uva.x000235150	Has no one been breaking the bank?"
uva.x000235150	He was very good- looking in his way, a great strong fellow, but he looked as though he had been ill. — What are you going to do about this?
uva.x000235150	Her tone and eyes were soft, as though the magic?
uva.x000235150	I am not sure""You do n't want me?"
uva.x000235150	I am not — well, I am not a dis- reputable acquaintance, am I?"
uva.x000235150	I came in, however, to ask you how you obtained possession of it, and the rings below?"
uva.x000235150	I trust that you are satisfied?"
uva.x000235150	I wonder why?
uva.x000235150	I"You wo n't forget that we promised to go and see Myrtile early?"
uva.x000235150	In the meantime, may I venture upon a daring sugges- tion?
uva.x000235150	Is it possible to make her ac- quaintance?"
uva.x000235150	Is n't there something queer about them, or is it my fancy?"
uva.x000235150	Is not one prisoner like another?
uva.x000235150	Is there any further question you wish to ask?"
uva.x000235150	Is there anything I can do?
uva.x000235150	Is there no news at the Rooms?
uva.x000235150	It pleases thee, Marie?"
uva.x000235150	It will be a festival, that, eh, Marie?"
uva.x000235150	Madame asked quickly, —"almost a giant?"
uva.x000235150	Mademoiselle will place herself in my hands for the evening?
uva.x000235150	May I know your name?"
uva.x000235150	Now that she is eighteen, now that she is of some use in the world, how does she show her gratitude?
uva.x000235150	Now what is your business, please?"
uva.x000235150	Of course, I expected to care for her and all that, but — promise you wo n't laugh at me?"
uva.x000235150	On the other hand, do not try to get on too 188 THE MYSTERY ROAD quickly, will you?
uva.x000235150	Promise?"
uva.x000235150	Quite a new experience for you, dear, is n't it?
uva.x000235150	Shall I take your protegee back to Eng- land in her place?"
uva.x000235150	Shall we play — say — Wednesday afternoon?"
uva.x000235150	Some sing at the Opera; others, perhaps, have seen life in Paris, but for that what are they the worse — what harm can they do?
uva.x000235150	Surely you understand that then I did not know that you did not love me?"
uva.x000235150	THE MYSTERY ROAD 109"You are perhaps weary to- day?"
uva.x000235150	THE MYSTERY ROAD 11"Are you alive, mademoiselle?"
uva.x000235150	THE MYSTERY ROAD 115"Are you charged to deliver a reply to this mes- sage?"
uva.x000235150	THE MYSTERY ROAD 265"But where is he?"
uva.x000235150	THE MYSTERY ROAD 49"Then will you tell me who her friends are?"
uva.x000235150	THE MYSTERY ROAD 85"Will you play golf and lunch with me to- morrow morning, Lady Mary?"
uva.x000235150	Take THE MYSTERY ROAD 143"But what does that matter?"
uva.x000235150	Tell me about your little protegee?"
uva.x000235150	Tell me what you want?"
uva.x000235150	Tell me, have you had any interesting cases lately?
uva.x000235150	Tell me, where did you come from, really?"
uva.x000235150	Tell me, why did the chauf- feur say • your lordship'?"
uva.x000235150	That is not right, is it?"
uva.x000235150	That is so, is it not, Myrtile?"
uva.x000235150	That is so, is it not?"
uva.x000235150	That you would have risked my forgetting — all that I ought to have remembered?"
uva.x000235150	There was n't any trouble at home, was there?"
uva.x000235150	There, my Lord Dom- bey, have I not been kind to you?
uva.x000235150	What about these prisoners?"
uva.x000235150	What are their real names?"
uva.x000235150	What are you going to do with the girl?"
uva.x000235150	What can I do without her, I ask?
uva.x000235150	What do you get out of it, I should like to know?
uva.x000235150	What do you say, gentlemen?"
uva.x000235150	What does he make of life, that young man?
uva.x000235150	What is the use of music, Madame, to one who lives behind the bars?
uva.x000235150	What is there amongst the scum that infests your prisons of ac- count against that?
uva.x000235150	What of it?"
uva.x000235150	What the devil do you mean?"
uva.x000235150	What was there about her, he wondered vaguely, which had brought him, with all his experience, so completely to her feet?
uva.x000235150	What was this man like?"
uva.x000235150	What would it mean for him?
uva.x000235150	When shall we play golf?"
uva.x000235150	Where are they?"
uva.x000235150	Where did those clothes come from?
uva.x000235150	Where is he this afternoon, by- the- by?"
uva.x000235150	Where?"
uva.x000235150	Who are these friends of his, Bent?
uva.x000235150	Who brought you here?
uva.x000235150	Who comes to visit them?
uva.x000235150	Who is going to look after the child when we get to Monte Carlo?"
uva.x000235150	Who is she?"
uva.x000235150	Who is supporting you?"
uva.x000235150	Who is this, Pauline?"
uva.x000235150	Who is your early guest?
uva.x000235150	Who knows which cell is empty?
uva.x000235150	Who knows?"
uva.x000235150	Why do they keep me away from them?"
uva.x000235150	Why do you think these friends of mine are here?"
uva.x000235150	Why does the other gentleman mind?"
uva.x000235150	Why is he so troubled about you?
uva.x000235150	Why?"
uva.x000235150	Will you do me the great honour of dining at Ranelagh to- night with me?
uva.x000235150	Will you get that into your head?"
uva.x000235150	Will you go first and say that I shall be there directly?"
uva.x000235150	Will you grant me the loan of a meal?"
uva.x000235150	Will you please to sit down?"
uva.x000235150	Will you sit down, or would you like to see how wonderful the gardens are?"
uva.x000235150	Will you take me a little way in it?"
uva.x000235150	Will you take me out of the country, my friend?
uva.x000235150	Would you like me to go and look for him?"
uva.x000235150	Would you not starve if it were not for the contributions of the prisoners themselves?"
uva.x000235150	You are aware, I suppose, that the situa- tion lends itself to misconstruction?"
uva.x000235150	You are doubtless in frequent communi- cation with her?"
uva.x000235150	You are pleased?"
uva.x000235150	You dispatched the telegram?"
uva.x000235150	You shall dance with me, yes?"
uva.x000235150	You used to give me fifteen, was n't it?"
uva.x000235150	You will let me finish?"
uva.x000235150	You will not for- get this?"
uva.x000235150	You will not mind, monsieur, that I have no hat and that my clothes are very poor?
uva.x000235150	You wo n't keep away from us because of this, Christopher?"
uva.x000235150	You wo n't mind?"
uva.x000235150	You wo n't mind?"
uva.x000235150	You would n't like me to speak to Myrtile?"
uva.x000235150	Yourself, for instance?"
uva.x000235150	— And you, monsieur?
uva.x000235150	— Did you do any good with those two hunters you bought from Loxley, Gerald?
uva.x000235150	— May I say one word more?"
uva.x000235150	— Myrtile, how old were you when your mother died?"
uva.x000235150	— Tell me, are you dining at the Villa to- night?"
uva.x000235150	— What about the child, Mary?"
uva.x000235150	— What do you think of my plan?"
uva.x000235150	— a pretty child, with large, affectionate eyes?"
uva.x000235150	—"Are you sure, you people, that you would n't like to have a car sent down?
uva.x001752097	'And if you fail? uva.x001752097 'And — Mademoiselle Stangerson?'
uva.x001752097	'Can you deny that they belong to Robert Darzac?' uva.x001752097 'Did you go out after what passed on the gallery?'
uva.x001752097	'Have you noticed that those footprints only go in one direction? uva.x001752097 'How can I tell?'
uva.x001752097	'The man?' uva.x001752097 'What will be yours?'
uva.x001752097	'What?' uva.x001752097 'Who?'
uva.x001752097	After all what? uva.x001752097 And the desk?"
uva.x001752097	And the murderer? uva.x001752097 And the wound in the throat?"
uva.x001752097	And then?
uva.x001752097	And was the wound on her temple a bad one?
uva.x001752097	And what do you think of the murder?
uva.x001752097	And what is your hypothesis?
uva.x001752097	And what we saw her do was done to send her father to sleep?
uva.x001752097	And you are sure he will come to- night?
uva.x001752097	And you did not see him? uva.x001752097 Are n't you satisfied?"
uva.x001752097	Are there any blood stains?
uva.x001752097	Are things getting less entangled?
uva.x001752097	Are you going to tell us who the murderer was?
uva.x001752097	Are you satisfied?
uva.x001752097	Are you sure of that?
uva.x001752097	Are you sure that Monsieur Dar- 154 THE PRESBYTERY HAS LOST NOTHING zac is innocent? uva.x001752097 At once, — we drew it right out of its place —""And between the mattresses?"
uva.x001752097	But I thought you saw his face on the night when you sprang into the chamber?
uva.x001752097	But does n't it prove the alibi for Monsieur Darzac?
uva.x001752097	But in what way can I be of any use to you?
uva.x001752097	But shall I tell you something? uva.x001752097 But the evidences?"
uva.x001752097	But was he not to have left France almost immediately?
uva.x001752097	But what about us?
uva.x001752097	But what robbery? uva.x001752097 But what was in the cabinet?"
uva.x001752097	But who, then, is this man writing there before my eyes, seated at the desk, as if he were in his own • home? uva.x001752097 But you also take your meals at the chateau?"
uva.x001752097	But you are convinced of Darzac's inno- cence?
uva.x001752097	Can not English people buy canes in Paris?
uva.x001752097	Could that window have been closed and re- fastened after the flight of the assassin?
uva.x001752097	Did Mademoiselle give you any explanation, — did she tell you what her motive was?
uva.x001752097	Did n't you?
uva.x001752097	Did she not leave you?
uva.x001752097	Did you have them arrested, Monsieur Fred?
uva.x001752097	Did you see the murderer running towards the end of the right wing?
uva.x001752097	Do they explain anything?
uva.x001752097	Do you accuse any of these?
uva.x001752097	Do you ask me what is the'perfume of the lady in black'? uva.x001752097 Do you feel any inclination to go to sleep?"
uva.x001752097	Do you feel indisposed?
uva.x001752097	Do you know when he came the firsttime?
uva.x001752097	Do you mean to say that knowing Larsan was the murderer you gave him the opportunity to escape?
uva.x001752097	Do you often eat here?
uva.x001752097	Do you suspect anybody?
uva.x001752097	Do you think he'll pass the night at the Glandier?
uva.x001752097	Do you think the police are the fools you are? uva.x001752097 Do you think there were accomplices?"
uva.x001752097	Does Mademoiselle Stangerson wish to put everybody to sleep, to- night?
uva.x001752097	Does he often come here?
uva.x001752097	Does n't he question you?
uva.x001752097	Does what this young man say appear prob able to you?
uva.x001752097	Does your presence at the chateau displease him?
uva.x001752097	Explain yourself?
uva.x001752097	Has Frederic Larsan found out the truth, which I can only guess at?
uva.x001752097	Has a mutton- bone been found in The Yellow Room?
uva.x001752097	Has he returned then —?
uva.x001752097	Has n't Monsieur Stangerson ever invited you to his own table?
uva.x001752097	Have n't you told me that Mademoiselle Stangerson loves Mon- sieur Robert Darzac?
uva.x001752097	Have they anything to do with the mystery of the keeper's body?
uva.x001752097	Have you any idea of the way by which the, murderer escaped?
uva.x001752097	Have you found out anything?
uva.x001752097	Have you found the weapon — whatever it was?
uva.x001752097	Have you noticed Frederic Larsan's cane?
uva.x001752097	Have you spoken to him?
uva.x001752097	Have you, at least, some idea as to who the murderer is?
uva.x001752097	He was in France nine years ago, then,said Rouletabillc,"and, since that time, as far as you know, how many times has he been at the Glandier?"
uva.x001752097	Her hair was done up in bands, was n't* it? uva.x001752097 How about Mademoiselle Stangerson?"
uva.x001752097	How big is the Bete du bon Dieu?
uva.x001752097	How did you come to suspect Larsan?
uva.x001752097	How do I know?
uva.x001752097	How do we know that we have not been drugged?
uva.x001752097	How do we know that?
uva.x001752097	How do you come at that?
uva.x001752097	How do you know he went to the lake?
uva.x001752097	How do you know that the handkerchief is blue with red stripes?
uva.x001752097	How do you know that?
uva.x001752097	How long will it take to walk to the Chateau du Glandier?
uva.x001752097	How? uva.x001752097 I guess you have been hard at work?"
uva.x001752097	I hope that Monsieur Darzac —"No doubt,"And Mademoiselle Stangerson — How is she?
uva.x001752097	I? uva.x001752097 If ever you should have any scraps for the Bete du Bon Dieu —?"
uva.x001752097	If we are here only to see him and let him escape, why are we armed?
uva.x001752097	If you are not mad, what are your proofs?
uva.x001752097	Is Mademoiselle getting better?
uva.x001752097	Is he still at the chateau?
uva.x001752097	Is it Mademoiselle Stangerson you are pity- ing?
uva.x001752097	Is it because — you think there is something to be got out of him?
uva.x001752097	Is that going to keep us awake all night?
uva.x001752097	Is there a cellar?
uva.x001752097	Is there nothing in this article in the'Matin'by which you were particularly struck?
uva.x001752097	It seems clear to you, then, Monsieur, that the murderer escaped — nobody knows how — by the window in the vestibule?
uva.x001752097	Might not a man in the room, the desk being so near to the door, by stooping and slipping under the desk, have left it unobserved?
uva.x001752097	Monsieur Darzac,asked the President,"did Mademoiselle Stangerson in any way confide in you on this matter?
uva.x001752097	Monsieur or Mademoiselle Stangerson had, no doubt, shut it?
uva.x001752097	Moral or material?
uva.x001752097	No doubt,I said,"but why did you go to America to find that out?"
uva.x001752097	Nobody in the pavilion, Daddy Jacques?
uva.x001752097	Now who of the four persons in the gallery was both that person and the assassin? uva.x001752097 Now, young man,"said the President,"you have heard Monsieur Frederic Larsan; how did the murderer get away from the court?"
uva.x001752097	Of the murder of poor Mademoiselle Stanger- son? uva.x001752097 Once more, — how do you know that?"
uva.x001752097	Plow's Daddy Mathieu?
uva.x001752097	Proofs, Monsieur? uva.x001752097 Recent?"
uva.x001752097	Shall we have any use for them?
uva.x001752097	So that all the glory will be ours?
uva.x001752097	That the man entered by the window at the time you say, I admit,I said;"but why did he shut the window?
uva.x001752097	The Glandier crime?
uva.x001752097	The bolt?
uva.x001752097	The concierges of the chateau are honest people, then?
uva.x001752097	The concierges will be able to inform us no doubt?
uva.x001752097	The drug?
uva.x001752097	The mat here has been moved out of place, — ■ who did it?
uva.x001752097	The wound on her temple is serious, is it not?
uva.x001752097	The'key with a brass head'— is not this the key? uva.x001752097 Then how was it, Madame Angenoux, that all through the night of the murder nothing but the cry of the Bete du bon Dieu was heard?"
uva.x001752097	Then the wound on the temple was not done with the revolver?
uva.x001752097	Then there are but two of us for to- night's work?
uva.x001752097	Then there were two?
uva.x001752097	Then what part did his revolver play in the tragedy? uva.x001752097 Then why was he not arrested?"
uva.x001752097	Then you think there may be?
uva.x001752097	Then you wo n't serve me?
uva.x001752097	Then, what is the meaning of this card?
uva.x001752097	Then, why were they abroad at midnight? uva.x001752097 Unless you are playing with the court, Mon- sieur, why did you not accuse him when he was present?
uva.x001752097	Well, Daddy Jacques,he said,"what are you looking at?"
uva.x001752097	Well, but — the locked door — with the key on the inside?
uva.x001752097	Well, what do you make of it?
uva.x001752097	Well?
uva.x001752097	Were these closed at the time of the crime?
uva.x001752097	What are we going to do there?
uva.x001752097	What became of the murderer? uva.x001752097 What do you mean by that?"
uva.x001752097	What do you mean by your pure reason?
uva.x001752097	What do you mean?
uva.x001752097	What does that mean?
uva.x001752097	What does that prove? uva.x001752097 What does that prove?"
uva.x001752097	What does the examining magistrate think now of the matter?
uva.x001752097	What has led you to form it?
uva.x001752097	What has made you feel this certainty?
uva.x001752097	What is it?
uva.x001752097	What is the matter • with me? uva.x001752097 What is this secret motive that compels Made- moiselle Stangerson to hide her knowledge from her father?"
uva.x001752097	What leads you to think that?
uva.x001752097	What makes me think that? uva.x001752097 What makes you think that?"
uva.x001752097	What put me on the trace of it,continued the journalist, —"Was this?"
uva.x001752097	What were my thoughts then? uva.x001752097 What's going badly?"
uva.x001752097	What's the matter, old man?
uva.x001752097	When did he come the last time, as far as you know?
uva.x001752097	When was the last time you washed these tiles?
uva.x001752097	Where are you going, then?
uva.x001752097	Where is he? uva.x001752097 Where was that, and when?"
uva.x001752097	Which way did he go, then?
uva.x001752097	While you were washing the labora- tory and this vestibule, was the vestibule window open?
uva.x001752097	Why do you persist in lying?
uva.x001752097	Why have n't you brought in Daddy Jacques? uva.x001752097 Why not?"
uva.x001752097	Why that'now'? uva.x001752097 Why, then, do you say that she is a woman of great character?"
uva.x001752097	Will you prevent me?
uva.x001752097	With what weapon was it made?
uva.x001752097	Yes, on the stones outside; but blood of what?
uva.x001752097	Yes, the bolt — also inside the room — a still further protection against entry? uva.x001752097 Yet they've been arrested?"
uva.x001752097	You dare to accuse Frederic Larsan, Mon- sieur?
uva.x001752097	You did not ask them?
uva.x001752097	You do n't think, then, that the keeper knows anything of it?
uva.x001752097	You expect the murderer this evening? uva.x001752097 You have been here, then, Monsieur Rouleta- bille?
uva.x001752097	You hope, Monsieur?
uva.x001752097	You know her then?
uva.x001752097	You'll fare very badly there; you'll not find anything —"Do you think so? uva.x001752097 You've been ill, Mother Angenoux?
uva.x001752097	'With his lips once more to my ear, he added:;'Do you know that he has slept in the upper room of the donjon ever since it was restored?'
uva.x001752097	100 WE SHALL HAVE TO EAT RED MEAT"Not even mine?"
uva.x001752097	101 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM"How is Madame Mathieu?"
uva.x001752097	205 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM"His rheumatism still sticks to him, then?"
uva.x001752097	235 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM"When did you leave this room?"
uva.x001752097	284 JOSEPH ROULETABILLE APPEARS"But, what about the evidences of his pres- ence?"
uva.x001752097	4 Where is he — where is he?'
uva.x001752097	45 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM Frederick Larsan interrupted: —"May I leave you?"
uva.x001752097	57 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM"What is it, young man?
uva.x001752097	8 113 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM"What do you think, Monsieur Darzac?"
uva.x001752097	< V?.
uva.x001752097	A keeper is as much a servant as any other, is n't he?
uva.x001752097	After all what?"
uva.x001752097	All that I ask of the man who is coming to- night is to bring me his face, so that it may enter —""Into the circle?"
uva.x001752097	And he found nothing suspicious there?
uva.x001752097	And now, what was this mystery which held Mademoiselle Stangerson and Monsieur Robert Darzac in so inexplicable a silence?
uva.x001752097	And then, when he had got into The Yellow Room?
uva.x001752097	And when you returned?
uva.x001752097	And why since half- past ten this morning?"
uva.x001752097	And you did not leave the laboratory from that hour up to the moment when you entered your chamber?
uva.x001752097	And you,"he said, turning the con- versation,"did you suspect nothing?"
uva.x001752097	Are you accustomed to dine in the laboratory?
uva.x001752097	As I rushed after him down the stairs, I came face to face with Arthur Rance com- ing from the left wing of the chateau, yelling:"What is it?
uva.x001752097	At what time?
uva.x001752097	Before leaving the pavilion at five o'clock, did you go into your chamber?
uva.x001752097	But another phrase was uttered by Monsieur Robert Darzac:'Must I com- mit a crime, then, to win you?'
uva.x001752097	But how did he leave?
uva.x001752097	But how to explain that he was not there, that he had already escaped?
uva.x001752097	But how?
uva.x001752097	But in what way?
uva.x001752097	But then, how did he do it, seeing that the blinds remained fastened on the inside?
uva.x001752097	But there's nothing to prevent him assuming that the murderer got in between 142 THE PRESBYTERY HAS LOST NOTHING ten and eleven o'clock at night?
uva.x001752097	But what did he steal?"
uva.x001752097	But what was going to pass there?
uva.x001752097	But who can ever say what passes through the brain of an examin- ing magistrate?"
uva.x001752097	But why should I be thinking of my previous night's attempt with the ladder?
uva.x001752097	By whom, then, was it used?"
uva.x001752097	Can you tell me, Monsieur, how many openings there are in the pavilion?
uva.x001752097	Coming back to himself again he said, address- ing the magistrate: —"How did Mademoiselle Stangerson wear her hair on that evening?"
uva.x001752097	Could the murderer have known that you would dine there that evening?
uva.x001752097	Did I really see it?
uva.x001752097	Did he know you'd make this charge?"
uva.x001752097	Did you dine in the laboratory?
uva.x001752097	Did you notice the marks on the carpet?
uva.x001752097	Did you notice whether the vestibule window was open when you went out?
uva.x001752097	Did you see him distinctly?'
uva.x001752097	Did you see his face?'
uva.x001752097	Did you see it then?'
uva.x001752097	Do you hear it?
uva.x001752097	Do you know how he came to find Daddy Jacques's boots?
uva.x001752097	Do you know whether there is one at the chateau?"
uva.x001752097	Do you recognise them, Daddy Jacques?"
uva.x001752097	Do you remember the article I wrote about you on the gold bar case?"
uva.x001752097	Do you remember the bamboo cane?
uva.x001752097	Do you remember what I said, on entering the Donj on Inn?
uva.x001752097	Had I seen Frederic Larsan and the murderer at the same time?
uva.x001752097	Had he either seen or heard?
uva.x001752097	Had it not been purchased by a man whose description tallied exactly with that of Darzac?
uva.x001752097	Had you already suspected Larsan when you sent for me to bring the revolvers?"
uva.x001752097	Has this cane anything to do with it?
uva.x001752097	Have you any idea, as to how the murderer got away from The Yellow Room?"
uva.x001752097	He had usually left it at the chateau; why did he take it to Paris on that particular occasion?
uva.x001752097	He was obliged to laugh at the idea, monsieur, as your friend is doing now, — for whoever heard of a mattress having a double bottom?"
uva.x001752097	He waved the"Matin"with a trembling hand, and cried: —"Well, my dear Sainclair, — have you read it?"
uva.x001752097	How are your friends getting on?"
uva.x001752097	How come it that so sorry a specimen of a man should be so intimate with Monsieur Stangerson?
uva.x001752097	How could I know I might not any moment cause another crime?
uva.x001752097	How could I tell?
uva.x001752097	How did he do that?"
uva.x001752097	How did he escape?
uva.x001752097	How do you like the cider?
uva.x001752097	How had he van- ished?
uva.x001752097	How had this man got away?
uva.x001752097	How is it that she has never spoken about it to anyone?
uva.x001752097	How many?
uva.x001752097	How to explain these?
uva.x001752097	How was it that, being in the chateau, he had not dined with Monsieur Stangerson and his daughter?
uva.x001752097	How was it then, that I, also, had not been overcome by it?
uva.x001752097	How, while still so young — he was only sixteen and a half years old when I saw him for the first time — had he already won his way on the press?
uva.x001752097	However, I immediately asked: —"What about that cane?"
uva.x001752097	I asked,"since these footmarks are not continued on the path?"
uva.x001752097	I cried,"What could be more i mysterious than that?"
uva.x001752097	I interrupted him in his soliloquy: —"Have they set the concierges at liberty, then?"
uva.x001752097	I kept silence for awhile, then, anxious to know his thoughts, I asked him point blank:"Why not tell Arthur Rance?
uva.x001752097	I said,"But, again — what made you so sure?
uva.x001752097	I said,"when will he have occasion to doit?"
uva.x001752097	I understand,'I said;'but how do you ac- count for his red hair and beard?'
uva.x001752097	If I can answer it —""Did your mistress wear her hair in bands, that evening?
uva.x001752097	If that were so, how was it that Mademoiselle had been attacked after?
uva.x001752097	In the first place, I am pretty sure that they have not had anything to do with the affair, and then because —""Because of what?"
uva.x001752097	Interrogated in her turn, the young girl replied 38"IN THE BOSOM OF WILD NATURE"calmly:"Where could we work better than in this solitude?"
uva.x001752097	Is that so?"
uva.x001752097	Is the Chief of the Surete coming?"
uva.x001752097	Is there any doubt about that?"
uva.x001752097	It is absurd, is it not?"
uva.x001752097	It's true, I have an idea —""What's that?"
uva.x001752097	May I look at it?"
uva.x001752097	N.?'
uva.x001752097	No doubt for the purpose of facilitat- ing the inquiries of the agents of the Surete?
uva.x001752097	Nothing?
uva.x001752097	Now does that hypothesis really mislead Frederic Larsan?
uva.x001752097	Now who were in it?
uva.x001752097	Now, what weapon did the murderer use?
uva.x001752097	One day, however, on my still pressing him, he said:"Ca n't you understand that I had to know Lar- san's true personality?"
uva.x001752097	Or, who had come to open it?
uva.x001752097	Presently he went on: —"It was a bit of luck, our falling in with that examining magistrate and his Registrar, eh?
uva.x001752097	Presently we heard him ask: —"At what time, Monsieur Jacques, did Mon- sieur and Mademoiselle Stangerson arrive at the laboratory?"
uva.x001752097	Rouletabillc put another question — this time addressing himself particularly to the woman: —"In the grove of the parquet?"
uva.x001752097	Rouletabille following up his thought, asked: —"And the attic?
uva.x001752097	The President seemed partly convinced, but still curious, he asked:"But what is this secret of Mademoiselle Stangerson?"
uva.x001752097	The President turning to Madame Mathieu asked: —"Is that in accordance with what you know occurred?"
uva.x001752097	The candle was on the floor; and, his beard —""Will he wear his beard this evening?"
uva.x001752097	The door of The Yellow Room locked, did you go to bed?
uva.x001752097	The mar- riage is simply delayed, is it not, Monsieur?"
uva.x001752097	The night- light was still burning?
uva.x001752097	The question in everybody's mind was: Admitting that Larsan was the murderer, how did he get out of The Yellow Room?
uva.x001752097	Then you know him?"
uva.x001752097	This person must write, poste restante, bureau 40, to this address: M. A. T. H. S. N.'Do not these letters suggest Mademoiselle Stangerson?"
uva.x001752097	Was I then in danger?
uva.x001752097	Was Rouletabille expecting this?
uva.x001752097	Was it because he was not going to return again to the chateau?
uva.x001752097	Was it because, owing to the breaking off of his marriage, his relations with the Stanger- sons were to cease?
uva.x001752097	Was it possible that he thought Monsieur Robert Darzac to be the murderer?
uva.x001752097	Was not that so, Monsieur Stangerson?"
uva.x001752097	Was she happy with her crabbed, rheu- matic husband?
uva.x001752097	Was the cry a signal?
uva.x001752097	Was the man you saw tall or short, little or big?
uva.x001752097	We shall pass the night here — if that wo n't tire you?"
uva.x001752097	What are papers worth to him now?
uva.x001752097	What became of him?"
uva.x001752097	What became of that son?
uva.x001752097	What did I tell you about that revolver?"
uva.x001752097	What did it mean?
uva.x001752097	What do you gather?"
uva.x001752097	What do you say to the hand- kerchief full of blood, and the red mark of the hand on the wall?
uva.x001752097	What do you say, Monsieur Darzac?"
uva.x001752097	What do you think of a professor who, instead of giving his lecture, ob- tains a substitute to go for a stroll in the Bois de Boulogne?
uva.x001752097	What had happened at the Glandier during the past week?
uva.x001752097	What had he demanded?
uva.x001752097	What is he doing here?"
uva.x001752097	What is it?"
uva.x001752097	What proves to you that a robbery has been committed?"
uva.x001752097	What then?
uva.x001752097	What was I doing there?
uva.x001752097	What was I to do now, even if I saw some- thing?
uva.x001752097	What was I to do?
uva.x001752097	What was in Rouletabille's mind?
uva.x001752097	What was the instinct that urged me towards Mademoiselle Stangerson's chamber?
uva.x001752097	What were these evidences?
uva.x001752097	What were we all thinking of in the silence?
uva.x001752097	What were you doing there?
uva.x001752097	When Rouletabille had seen me into the train, he said: —"You'll remember the address?"
uva.x001752097	When did he come here last?"
uva.x001752097	When we were in a tiny sitting- room fitted with old furni- ture, Monsieur Darzac turned to Rouletabille and said sharply: —"What do you want?"
uva.x001752097	When you entered — all four of you — did you look under the bed?"
uva.x001752097	When you went out, was the door of the room locked?
uva.x001752097	Where did he find it?
uva.x001752097	Where did he find that cane?"
uva.x001752097	Where is he?'
uva.x001752097	Where is he?'
uva.x001752097	Where the deuce could he have found it?"
uva.x001752097	Where, then, was she sleeping that night?
uva.x001752097	Who can tell if it might not mean her death?
uva.x001752097	Who is not there?'
uva.x001752097	Who now remembers this affair which caused so much ink to flow fifteen years ago?
uva.x001752097	Who was this Jean Roussel?
uva.x001752097	Who?
uva.x001752097	Why did I not get them released sooner?
uva.x001752097	Why did n't the concierges tell me?"
uva.x001752097	Why do n't they say?"
uva.x001752097	Why do we conclude the murderer was there?—Because he left his tracks in the room?
uva.x001752097	Why do you doubt that this marriage will take place?
uva.x001752097	Why do you doubt?"
uva.x001752097	Why had I not seen this before?
uva.x001752097	Why have they not put me in prison, too, on account of my revolver?"
uva.x001752097	Why is Monsieur de Mar- quet surrounding this mutton- bor.c with so much 55 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM mystery?
uva.x001752097	Why should he have risked crossing the laboratory while the professor was in it?
uva.x001752097	Why, I asked myself, if he was really afraid that the murderer should be discovered, was he help- ing the reporter to find him?
uva.x001752097	Will he escape this time?
uva.x001752097	Will you take up your quarters here?
uva.x001752097	With him they may now ask: How did the murderer escape from The Yellow Room?
uva.x001752097	Would he see me?
uva.x001752097	You are sure that, on the night of the crime, she had not her hair in bands?"
uva.x001752097	You ca n't get rid of that idea?
uva.x001752097	You can not give us any indication?
uva.x001752097	You have, of course, seen the account given in the'Matin'?
uva.x001752097	You know of no enemies you have?
uva.x001752097	You know what I mean — over her forehead?"
uva.x001752097	You remember the phrase which was the'Open sesame'of this chateau full of mystery?"
uva.x001752097	You returned to the laboratory at six o'clock and resumed work?
uva.x001752097	You say nothing about the Basque cap, or the handker- chief, found here, Daddy Jacques?"
uva.x001752097	You understand, mademoiselle, that these precautions are calculated to cause surprise?
uva.x001752097	You uttereed a loud cry?
uva.x001752097	You were absent from the pavilion some length of time, Monsieur Stangerson and you?
uva.x001752097	he said,"when did you begin to use a walking- stick?
uva.x001752097	or rather, that she appeared to have been attacked after?
uva.x001752097	said Rouletabille crossly,"then you want to let everybody into Mademoiselle Stanger- son's secrets?
uva.x001752097	— And the bolt?"
uva.x001752097	— Because of the open window — left open, perhaps, by the negligence of a servant?
uva.x001752097	— Do you recollect, Monsieur Stangerson, if during your absence, and before going out, he had opened it?
uva.x001752097	— Do you want proofs?
uva.x001752097	— Had he not told me that there were surface indications against Monsieur Darzac much more terrible than that of the cane found by Larsan?
uva.x001752097	— Have I been poisoned?"
uva.x001752097	— Have you made no use of him to- day?"
uva.x001752097	— Have you no idea as to how the assassin could escape from your chamber?
uva.x001752097	— He lowered his head, quickened his pace, and I heard him ask himself between his teeth:"Was he in the chateau that night?
uva.x001752097	— He may be of great assistance to us?"
uva.x001752097	— How do you explain how the murderer gained en- trance into Mademoiselle Stangerson's locked room?"
uva.x001752097	— Is that why we have not seen you for the last week?"
uva.x001752097	— There must be some open- ing to that?"
uva.x001752097	— Was I not in possession of his ladder?
uva.x001752097	— What do you think of it?"
uva.x001752097	— What is he doing there, alone in Mademoiselle Stangerson's room?
uva.x001752097	— What is he writing?
uva.x001752097	— Where do you see any signs of robbery?
uva.x001752097	— Who?
uva.x001752097	— Would he peer into the darkness?
uva.x001752097	— Would the cry bring the man to the window?
uva.x001752097	— Yet how could he have fled?
uva.x001752097	— You were in the court and could easily have seen?"
uva.x001752097	— did not take advan- tage of that moment to slip into The Yellow Room, after having taken off his boots in the lavatory?"
uva.x001752097	— that there are no returnmarks?
uva.x001752097	— where is he?
uva.x001752097	— where is he?'
uva.x001752097	— you have an idea, then, about this 43 THE MYSTERY OF THE YELLOW ROOM matter?"
uc1.b3727818	'In’t I been pallin ’ along of you?
uc1.b3727818	'” said the polyglot Captain Jean in the language of commerce 354 The Red Mark “ But still, the gentlemen are dead — ” “ What is zat to me?
uc1.b3727818	* Balbi all some home blong you? ”- Yes."
uc1.b3727818	- “ What are you after? ” persisted Mother Carron.
uc1.b3727818	142 The Red Mark 44 Hey?
uc1.b3727818	256 The Red Mark “ To ship? ” A bilious Anglo- Portuguese behind the desk eyed us up and down.
uc1.b3727818	39 “ Is there another sentence hanging over you?
uc1.b3727818	A fair knockout, was n’t it? ” His voice held the level acerbity that no man with a boy ’s eyes has any right to know.
uc1.b3727818	A fancy for blood?
uc1.b3727818	A fancy for young and innocent flesh — a solace to his old The Red Mark 31 age?
uc1.b3727818	A fancy of pride?
uc1.b3727818	A lip like a drop of blood — “ What did you want that boat for? ” he cried, in a terrible voice.
uc1.b3727818	A man who can stand to his game two days on end — how do they put it: those savants?
uc1.b3727818	A streak of fatalism, hey?
uc1.b3727818	A wise in- fant — eh?
uc1.b3727818	Admirable — eh?
uc1.b3727818	Adventure — romance?
uc1.b3727818	Affection?
uc1.b3727818	Afraid the “ Klistian folk would see their bad brother outside?
uc1.b3727818	After staying away so long?
uc1.b3727818	All the same, you ’ve got a rare piece, cheap. ” “ Just what have I got? ” “ A doubloon — do n’t you know?
uc1.b3727818	All the same, you ’ve got a rare piece, cheap. ” “ Just what have I got? ” “ A doubloon — do n’t you know?

uc1.b3727818	And after that what ’s to be trusted? ” “ What do you mean? ” demanded De Haan.
uc1.b3727818	And any’ow, what else could it be — ’ ey? ” Junius shook his head.
uc1.b3727818	And at that time did you or did you not strike a solemn bargain with me? ”- He made no denial.
uc1.b3727818	And how could I believe'em? ” he inquired, with al- most a plaintive note.
uc1.b3727818	And that's a mighty healthy thing for you, my boy, d'y ’ see?
uc1.b3727818	And the plaint began again, monoto- nous, muffled: “ Whaur ’s that pipe o ’ mine? ”.
uc1.b3727818	And the sisters?
uc1.b3727818	And then — “ Whaur's that pipe? ” he muttered.
uc1.b3727818	And us?

uc1.b3727818	And what do you sink?
uc1.b3727818	And where is that catch?
uc1.b3727818	And where was the Witch of Dundee now, and where all the hearty men who sailed with her?
uc1.b3727818	And who so surprised as Captain Wetherbee, that hard- working man?
uc1.b3727818	And who to blame?
uc1.b3727818	And with whom?
uc1.b3727818	And yet you see me here. ” “ Ah?
uc1.b3727818	And you, Bibi- Ri — you grin in that sickly fashion?
uc1.b3727818	Are these your words? ” “ I offered to, ” he retorted.
uc1.b3727818	Are you coming, old 50 per cent?
uc1.b3727818	Be quiet — comprendo so much?
uc1.b3727818	Because you prefer the ex- cuse of a coward to that of a traitor — Monsieur — is that it? ” Her fist hit the table like a sledge.
uc1.b3727818	Because — do n’t you see?
uc1.b3727818	Before dawn I propose to take my morning plunge off the rocks, not far from the village of Machico. ” “ Alone? ” I demanded.

uc1.b3727818	Blind victims — an incidental side line to Lol Raman|* “ Who? ” thundered De Haan|* A long, hairy arm shot out accusing.
uc1.b3727818	Boy, you smoke walla r ’s? ” A voice to send the chill in ºlº and dreary and overlaid, but* knew and.
uc1.b3727818	But I have a certain deftness of my fingers and perhaps also – well, a certain polish — what?
uc1.b3727818	But I ’m asking — did you take it away from those two cutthroats alone, without any help? ” “ I did.
uc1.b3727818	But are n’t you forgetting this wit- ness? ” The doctor laid a finger on the image of the Buddha.
uc1.b3727818	But could I get it?
uc1.b3727818	But how of Robert Matcham?
uc1.b3727818	But in the meanwhile — ” “ Have you paid the Government tax? ” “ I am unable — ” “ Enough, ” snapped the Anglo- Portuguese.
uc1.b3727818	But inquire only this: Did they slay him?
uc1.b3727818	But it ’s all right now, ai n’t it?
uc1.b3727818	But straightway: instead: what did you do?
uc1.b3727818	But suppose I do it? ” “ What — complain? ” “ It occurs to me I might.
uc1.b3727818	But suppose I do it? ” “ What — complain? ” “ It occurs to me I might.
uc1.b3727818	But suppose, now — suppose that light were moved, either way? ” “ Move the light! ” “ In effect, merely; in effect.

uc1.b3727818	But to- night — what?
uc1.b3727818	But what I dinna just ken is this: are ye a'thegither past the reach o'good words for remedy?
uc1.b3727818	But what kind of a Buddhist was he, giving himself to the frozen Buddhist hell by taking a life?
uc1.b3727818	But what of that?
uc1.b3727818	But what of that?
uc1.b3727818	But what of that?
uc1.b3727818	But what would you?
uc1.b3727818	But who opened that prospect?

uc1.b3727818	“ Are you sure it was him?
uc1.b3727818	“ Are you there, old dear, late of Lawrence, Mass..? ” inquired Angus Jones.

uc1.b3727818	“ Do you realize what this means? ” I cried at him.
uc1.b3727818	“ Does he say that? ” he queried, in a tone you would never have thought possible on those grim lips.

uc1.b3727818	“ How are you going to get one? ” she asked.
uc1.b3727818	“ How could I know a wretched exile had returned to contaminate the soil with foreign vulgarity? ” he inquired.
uc1.b3727818	“ How could it end there?
uc1.b3727818	“ How did you thrive in the mountains? ” I was moved to ask.
uc1.b3727818	“ How does he do it, doctor?
uc1.b3727818	“ How long has he been dead? ” asked the assistant inspector.
uc1.b3727818	“ How should one of your sort have the cursed im- pudence to think of such things?
uc1.b3727818	“ How the devil can I keep those footy little lights going for a month without no wicks? ” said Andrew Harben.

uc1.b3727818	“ I ’ve a notion I might be of some service to the cause, d’y ’ see? ” “ Undeniably, Captain, ” said the pastor, eagerly.
uc1.b3727818	“ Ilave you been making yourself tiresome again with the visitors, Maman?
uc1.b3727818	“ In that case, ” decided Junius Peabody, aloud, 278 The Red Mark “ Did you? ” inquired Junius Peabody equably.
uc1.b3727818	“ Is it your fancy, ” he inquired, “ that the niggers run much to writin ’ epitaphs?
uc1.b3727818	“ Is such your opinion? ” he asked.
uc1.b3727818	“ Is this true?
uc1.b3727818	“ Is this true? ” he asked Dubosc.
uc1.b3727818	“ It ca n’t matter how you do it. ” “ Ca n’t it?
uc1.b3727818	“ It is not Father Anselm. ” “ Not Father Anselm?

uc1.b3727818	“ Name of God — where do you think you are?
uc1.b3727818	“ No?
uc1.b3727818	“ No? ” But once again he clutched his beard.
uc1.b3727818	“ No? ” Some way or other he had taken up position between the door and the stairs.
uc1.b3727818	“ Not come again? ’ Forty devils'Do you know if you had n’t come to- night in answer to my message I would have had you haled by the leg?

uc1.b3727818	“ Or to make sure he wo n’t come back? ” I saw the color flood to Bartlet ’s rugged cheek and ebb again.
uc1.b3727818	“ Passige?
uc1.b3727818	“ Peabody — is it? ” demanded Bendemeer, incredulous.
uc1.b3727818	“ Pieces of eight — what?

uc1.b3727818	“ See that scrubby bit of island?
uc1.b3727818	“ Shall I begin? ” 348 The Red Mark Dubosc came back with a start and looked at him.
uc1.b3727818	“ Sir, why you should demand so peevish to be sorry?
uc1.b3727818	“ Sirs, ’ says one of'em — “ sirs, I will practice on this drunken man. ” Here's the place ready marked, d’y’see?
uc1.b3727818	“ So, ” he nodded, with an amazing grin, “ you are not a daid?
uc1.b3727818	“ Such cleverness — eh?
uc1.b3727818	“ Take on hands at Madeira?
uc1.b3727818	“ Tell me, ” said Angus Jones — “ tell me what was that word with which they harried us a while back?
uc1.b3727818	“ That ’s what I ’ve been trying to tell you, sir. ” “ Alive? ” “ Very much alive. ” “ Well, where is he?

uc1.b3727818	“ The chief 1? ” he roared.
uc1.b3727818	“ The trader? ” he said.
uc1.b3727818	“ Then what are we doing here? ” asked Jeckol at last.
uc1.b3727818	“ Then you must be Pedro Morales? ” I gasped.
uc1.b3727818	“ There was a chap in a book I read, d’y’see?
uc1.b3727818	“ This is the end? ” he echoed.
uc1.b3727818	“ To ask him?
uc1.b3727818	“ Up the river — what?
uc1.b3727818	“ Visitors? ” she inquired, aware of us with imper- sonal gaze.
uc1.b3727818	“ Was it this they robbed you of? ” Peabody nodded.
uc1.b3727818	“ Was it? ” he roared.
uc1.b3727818	“ Was n’t it the same winter he did a quick dash to the tin mines for his health?
uc1.b3727818	“ Was that your signal? ” “ Not for them, ” sighed Carron.
uc1.b3727818	“ Watch? ” growled The Parrot.
uc1.b3727818	“ Well —? ” But Cap'n Bartlet had laid hold of another trove, a coil of ringed rubber tubing, neatly disposed about the chest.
uc1.b3727818	“ Well, those who carry fleas — ” “ No, but why should they tremble? ” Meaning — Chase Yourself 263 “ This is a far island.

uc1.b3727818	“ Well? ” said Jeckol impatiently.
uc1.b3727818	“ What about it? ” “ It ’s been cut — top and bottom. ” We crowded for a look, and I saw his tanned fist tremble ever so slightly.
uc1.b3727818	“ What am I going to do now?
uc1.b3727818	“ What are we going to do with him? ” “ Throw him out! ” came the chorus.
uc1.b3727818	“ What are you going to do? ” she demanded.
uc1.b3727818	“ What are you trying to say?
uc1.b3727818	“ What babble is this, Moung Poh Sin? ” he rasped abruptly.
uc1.b3727818	“ What can he want? ” demanded Mother Carron.
uc1.b3727818	“ What did you sing me there?
uc1.b3727818	“ What did you want of that boat? ” “ Me like’m go fish, ” said Motauri.
uc1.b3727818	“ What do we want? ” echoed Angus Jones in reply to that hail.
uc1.b3727818	“ What do you care? ” he said idly.
uc1.b3727818	“ What do you say? ” he stammered.
uc1.b3727818	“ What does he say himself?
uc1.b3727818	“ What does it matter?
uc1.b3727818	“ What does this mean? ” he demanded.
uc1.b3727818	“ What fella ship? ” 232 The Red Mark From the chattered reply we caught a startling word.
uc1.b3727818	“ What have I got? ” asked Junius, standing at mid- thigh where the surf creamed in between them.
uc1.b3727818	“ What if you could?
uc1.b3727818	“ What in Hull tº Halifax are you talkin ’ about? ” Sutton drew from his pocket a certain familiar ob- ject, a small, black- bound volume.
uc1.b3727818	“ What is that to me, old man?
uc1.b3727818	“ What is the fellow talking about?
uc1.b3727818	“ What is ze matter wit ’ zat beast? ” rumbled De Haan, frowning over his shoulder.

uc1.b3727818	“ What ’s the row, Zimballo? ” he drawled.
uc1.b3727818	“ What ’s there? ” “ A diver's air pipe, ” stated the cap'n.
uc1.b3727818	“ What's all about him?
uc1.b3727818	“ What's your notion?
uc1.b3727818	“ What's your notion? ” Sutton drew a deep breath.
uc1.b3727818	“ What?
uc1.b3727818	“ Whaur ’s that W. that pipe?
uc1.b3727818	“ Whaur's that pipe?
uc1.b3727818	“ Whaur's the mate? ” he asked, and added quickly: “ Did he go ashore? ” “ No, sir.
uc1.b3727818	“ Whaur's the mate? ” he asked, and added quickly: “ Did he go ashore? ” “ No, sir.
uc1.b3727818	“ When a man has been knocked blind and silly by his luck; when he ’s been hammered out of all hope and pride in himself — what can he do, lady?

uc1.b3727818	“ Who are those? ” Bibi- Ri had fallen back in his chair.
uc1.b3727818	“ Who did it?
uc1.b3727818	“ Who wants to prove it?
uc1.b3727818	“ Who was that? ” I demanded indignantly.
uc1.b3727818	“ Who ’s after it? ” “ Number One, ” was his cryptic answer.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why are you and I chumming here together on this hole- in- a- corner of an island, for instance, with no end of a silly yarn between us?
uc1.b3727818	“ Why did n’t you care? ” he demanded.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why did you say there was need to explain to me, father? ” she managed to ask at last.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why do n’t they do something? ” He fiddled nervously with his rifle and sniffed.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why do you tell me this? ” demanded Bibi- Ri, hoarsely.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why not, indeed? ” echoed the pastor.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why should he lie? ” But Peters had risen to snatch around that weazened 234 The Red Mark face, blank as a mummy's — his own was alight.
uc1.b3727818	“ Why should we look and look?

uc1.b4097309	You mean you gave a left- turn signal? ” “ That's right. ” “ And how did you do that, Mrs. uc1.b4097309 You mean you've found her fingerprints in that apartment? ”"Sure.
uc1.b4097309	You want my professional name or my real name?
uc1.b4097309	You would n't say for eight or ten blocks?
uc1.b4097309	You're a good egg, Donald, ” she said, “ even if...“ Even if what?"

uc1.b4097309	34 GIVE'EM THE AX “ How are you, Mr. Lam?
uc1.b4097309	58 GIVE'EM THE AX"What should you have done? ” “ Kept on looking. ” “ You mean... “ Of course I do."
uc1.b4097309	6 GIVE'EM THE AX Bertha looked me over, said, “ You've toughened up, Donald. ”"I've been toughened. ”"What do you weigh now?"
uc1.b4097309	62 GIVE'EM THE AX"Well, ” she said, “ use your head. ” “ You mean there's something in Rimley's lease about a purchase?"
uc1.b4097309	A hard- boiled gruff voice said, “ What the hell's coming off here?"
uc1.b4097309	A moment later, a voice said, “ What do you want? ” I put my mouth up to the speaking tube.
uc1.b4097309	After a while she said, “ Well, what do you want, and where are we going? ”"You're driving the car,"I told her.
uc1.b4097309	After all, Mr. Lam, it seems to me that you're being rather imper- tinent in your inquiries. ” “ How old was your uncle? ” “ Fifty- three."
uc1.b4097309	Am I going to ride with you in your car?
uc1.b4097309	And did you notice that mink coat?
uc1.b4097309	And when Stanberry's car pulled away, Mrs. Crail was following it. ”"How do you know? ” “ Rimley told me. ” “ How did he know?"
uc1.b4097309	And when Stanberry's car pulled away, Mrs. Crail was following it. ”"How do you know? ” “ Rimley told me. ” “ How did he know?"
uc1.b4097309	Are you getting so damned high hat you ca n't call your boss on a matter of busi- ness?"
uc1.b4097309	As I gather it, you're working on a case? ” He jerked his head toward Billy Prue.
uc1.b4097309	As I get your testimony now, you are n't absolutely certain whether your car was at a dead stop or whether it was moving?"
uc1.b4097309	Bertha Cool beamed at her and said in a voice that dripped sweetness, “ Wo n't you be seated, Miss Rushe?"
uc1.b4097309	Bertha Cool? ” Bertha Cool's manner mellowed.
uc1.b4097309	Bertha in there? ” I jerked my head toward the door of the office that had B.
uc1.b4097309	Bertha said, “ How the hell can anyone remember all those little things?
uc1.b4097309	Bertha said, “ I intended to turn left as soon as this other car got around me. ”"Oh, you intended to turn left?
uc1.b4097309	Bertha said, “ Who was bumped off?"
uc1.b4097309	Bertha snatched the receiver off the cradle, said cau- tiously, “ Yes?"
uc1.b4097309	Billy Prue asked, “ Are the-- are the police through here? ”"Not yet, ” Sellers said.
uc1.b4097309	But I know the ones who are smart enough to be dangerous. ” “ How do you segregate? ” “ I do n't.
uc1.b4097309	But I own the hat- checking concession outright as well as the cigar, cigarette and candy concessions. ” “ Do you have to work at them yourself?"
uc1.b4097309	But I suppose a tip would be in order?"
uc1.b4097309	But, of course, it was indirect. ”"How?"
uc1.b4097309	By that time..."“ Did the woman get Mrs. Crail's name?"
uc1.b4097309	Care for a cigar? ” “ No thanks.
uc1.b4097309	Care for a drink? ” “ I've just had two of your Scotch and sodas."
uc1.b4097309	Cool, why did you stop?
uc1.b4097309	Cool?
uc1.b4097309	Cool? ” Bertha hesitated.
uc1.b4097309	Cool? ” Bertha thrust her arm out and made a series of circu- lar motions.
uc1.b4097309	Cool? ” he asked.
uc1.b4097309	Cool? ” “ Absolutely certain,"Bertha snapped.
uc1.b4097309	Cool? ” “ I suppose so. ” GI GIVE 159 VE LE'EM THE AX “ And part of the time you had been in the middle · lane?"

uc1.b4097309	Cool? ”"How does anyone do it?"
uc1.b4097309	Cool? ”"How does anyone do it?"
uc1.b4097309	Could it be because Mrs. Ellery Crail and her escort had left?
uc1.b4097309	Crail, just emerging from the bathroom, said, “ What's that?
uc1.b4097309	Did you convey your intention by means of any signal?"
uc1.b4097309	Did you give any signal before you cut across the right- hand lane?"
uc1.b4097309	Do I pay you to hold social soirees in the office, or do I pay you to get out a little work once in a while?
uc1.b4097309	Do n't people come in any more? ” “ They come in, ” Bertha said, “ but somehow I do n't impress them.
uc1.b4097309	Do you get what I mean? ”"I do n't see what this had to do with it, ” he said.
uc1.b4097309	Do you know all the private de- tectives?"
uc1.b4097309	Do you prom- ise?"
uc1.b4097309	Do you think there was something fishy about it?"
uc1.b4097309	Does it always take you that long to get going?
uc1.b4097309	From there on it's just a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. ” “ What do you mean?"
uc1.b4097309	GIVE'EM THE AX 157 “ Yes. ” “ And all of this time she was traveling at a high rate of speed?"
uc1.b4097309	GIVE'EM THE AX 205 “ How do you know?"
uc1.b4097309	GIVE'EM THE AX 39 “ I suppose you get to know your customers pretty well?"
uc1.b4097309	GIVE'EM THE AX 59 I smiled and said, “ You'll feel better if I say yes, wo n't you?"
uc1.b4097309	GIVE'IM THE AX 61 “ Did he?"
uc1.b4097309	Go ahead and tell us what's on your mind. ”"Do you know anything about the Stanberry Build- ing?"
uc1.b4097309	Going back a while before that, I under- stand there are other cases in San Francisco and in Nevada. ” “ Fakes or injuries? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	Guess you'd better ask her about that. ” “ Have you been sitting there hammering that type- writer all the time I've been gone?"
uc1.b4097309	He is n't that sort. ” “ When did his present wife meet him?"
uc1.b4097309	He knew my name, knew everything about me, knew all about you. ” “ Did he know what case you were working on? ” Ber- tha asked.
uc1.b4097309	He made arches out of his eyebrows, “ Why not? ” There was n't any answer, so I went back to first prin- ciples.
uc1.b4097309	He rotates his floor shows and seems to do a very good business. ” “ What do you mean a pickup business? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	He settles back and relaxes, and starts talking. ” “ Well, does n't he?"
uc1.b4097309	He turned to Mysgart with a benign expression, “ Would you care to cross- examine? ” Esther Witson stirred uneasily in her chair.
uc1.b4097309	Here he is now... What?
uc1.b4097309	His uncle had brains-dangerous brains. ” “ And where did Rimley come in?
uc1.b4097309	His wife was riding in the car with him. ” 88 GIVE'EM THE AX"But the cars were n't badly damaged, were they?"
uc1.b4097309	How about freshening up your drink?"
uc1.b4097309	How long have you been here?"
uc1.b4097309	How much information do you have to get?"
uc1.b4097309	How the hell should I know?"
uc1.b4097309	How?
uc1.b4097309	I am doing research work for an historical novel. ” “ Ever had anything published?"
uc1.b4097309	I dashed down...""Did you know he was dead? ”"No, of course not.
uc1.b4097309	I did n't have to tell you every single soli- tary move I made, did I?
uc1.b4097309	I did n't see my cigarette girl, so I asked a waiter casually, “ Cigarette girl here?"
uc1.b4097309	I did n't want to take chances on going in until I was sure the place was empty. ” “ It's empty? ” Sellers asked.
uc1.b4097309	I found out afterwards she'd gone down to the post office and taken care of that herself. ” “ Is n't that rather unusual? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b4097309	I give you my word of honor that I do n't know. ” “ But what do you think?"
uc1.b4097309	I guess my mind's a little sluggish- a little out of practice. ” “ What'll the insurance company do?"
uc1.b4097309	I have n't had a worthwhile case in the last year. ”"What's the matter?
uc1.b4097309	I headed for the bathroom, switched on the lights and... and..."“ You switched on the bathroom light? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	I looked her over and thought she was one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. ” “ So you made passes?"
uc1.b4097309	I pulled that gag on you that you'd been a sucker just to see what happened. ” “ Well?"
uc1.b4097309	I said indignantly, “ What the hell's eating you?
uc1.b4097309	I said, “ Archie had had your picture on his wall. ”"He'd taken it down, had n't he?"
uc1.b4097309	I said, “ Are you going to ride with me in my car?
uc1.b4097309	I said, “ I got kicked out of the Rimley Rendezvous. ”"Flirting with women? ”"No.
uc1.b4097309	I said, “ Let's go take another look at that body. ” “ We are n't supposed to touch it, are we, until...?"
uc1.b4097309	I said, “ Well, how about when she rented the apart- ment in the first place, she must have given some refer- ences?"
uc1.b4097309	I said, “ Why do n't you quit beating around the bush?"
uc1.b4097309	I smiled at her and said, “ You wo n't believe me. ”"Why not? ”"It's Smith. ”"I do n't. ” 20 GIVE'EM THE AX “ People seldom do."
uc1.b4097309	I suppose after you talked with him he thought things were coming pretty fast. ”"He did. ”"What did he tell you?"
uc1.b4097309	I take it that key opens the spring lock on the door downstairs?"
uc1.b4097309	I think she moved out. ” “ Then why did you want in?"
uc1.b4097309	I thought for a moment, looked at my watch then said to Crail, “ What time did she leave the office? ”"About four- ten,"Crail said.
uc1.b4097309	I thought it might have been..."“ A rod? ” Sellers asked as the man hesitated.
uc1.b4097309	I thought you'd have quit the job and gone into an airplane fac- tory. ” “ Did n't you get my letters?"
uc1.b4097309	I told her to go ahead. ” I said, “ Did you notice anything peculiar?"
uc1.b4097309	I want that jane. ” “ Why? ”"We've identified the hand ax.
uc1.b4097309	I wanted this Prue girl. ” 204 GIVE'EM THE AX “ But someone went out to that Orleans address?"
uc1.b4097309	I was going to have to arrange bail, and could they do some- thing to keep me out of jail?
uc1.b4097309	I was trying to find who the man was. ”"Did Stanberry see Mrs. Crail's name? ”"No.
uc1.b4097309	I'll do the talking for the outfit. ” “ This is n't a client, Mrs. Cool. ” “ Who is it?"
uc1.b4097309	I'm private. ”"A private detective?"
uc1.b4097309	I'm sort of a hybrid. ”"What do you mean, you ca n't do them my way?"
uc1.b4097309	I'm sticking my neck all the way out to protect Bertha in the thing, and it may break me at that. ” “ What the hell are you talking about?"
uc1.b4097309	I've already made the settlement! ”"On the basis of a thousand dollars?"
uc1.b4097309	I've always gathered that he was affluent. ”"You work? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	If we could prove that, would that mean anything to you? ” “ Would it! ” she said ecstatically.
uc1.b4097309	If you had n't called there, it's a ten to one shot he'd have called me, and told me the amount of..."“ What were you after?"
uc1.b4097309	If you're going to do a thing, why not do it?
uc1.b4097309	Is that it?"
uc1.b4097309	Is that right? ” “ That's right."
uc1.b4097309	Is that right?"
uc1.b4097309	Is that right?"
uc1.b4097309	Is there a girl in it? ”"Not in it.
uc1.b4097309	It just happened I had n't ever dropped in. ” “ That is why your present visit interests me. ” “ But how did it happen you knew who I was?"
uc1.b4097309	It was through her that I got Stanberry's name and address. ”"How come?"
uc1.b4097309	It wo n't inconvenience you at all, only a few minutes — a few simple questions..."“ What time?"
uc1.b4097309	It's only natural that I should have. ” “ Getting material for your novel? ”"Do n't be silly, I was getting relaxation and looking around.
uc1.b4097309	It's out on Seventh Street, is n't it?".
uc1.b4097309	Know any good lawyers?"
uc1.b4097309	Know anything about it? ” GIVE'EM THE AX 213"I heard it. ” “ Pick up a fare right afterwards? ” Broken nose frowned, then said, “ Yes.

uc1.b4097309	Lam?"
uc1.b4097309	Let us handle it. ”"You're sure about this other automobile accident?"
uc1.b4097309	Long enough for an ax to have been planted, I guess. ” “ Cullingdon, eh? ” Sellers said.
uc1.b4097309	Mysgart said, “ May I come in? ” “ Come on in, ” I told him, and indicated the client's chair.
uc1.b4097309	No, not that. ” “ Divorced?"
uc1.b4097309	Now then, how soon can you get over here? ” GIVE'EM THE AX 105 to keep Bertha out of it, but you're in.
uc1.b4097309	Now what was it you wanted?
uc1.b4097309	Now what's wrong with that?"
uc1.b4097309	Of course, Irma swore that she put out her hand to signal a stop, but she'd swear to anything that would feather her own nest. ”"Irma is the girl?"
uc1.b4097309	Or have I got to follow you to see where you're going and what you do next?"
uc1.b4097309	Otherwise, I'd dump you out on the street. ” “ Rather a hard- boiled attitude when I've stuck my neck out to help you, is n't it?"
uc1.b4097309	Quit the whole business. ” “ May I ask why you've reached this decision, Miss Rushe?"
uc1.b4097309	Really, Mr. Lam, this is taking the inquiry very far afield, do n't you think? ”.
uc1.b4097309	Remember that accident at Mantica Street and Garden Vista Boulevard?
uc1.b4097309	Remember?
uc1.b4097309	Scout out good homes for you to wreck?
uc1.b4097309	She did n't make it. ” “ Anybody hurt?"
uc1.b4097309	She did n't want to get close enough to the Cad so the driver could see her. ” “ So what did you do? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	She flushed and said, “ You certainly do get around, do n't you? ”"So so.
uc1.b4097309	She got married. ” “ Do you know whom she married? ”.
uc1.b4097309	She had a heavy foot on the throttle. ” “ And when did she turn around to look where she was going? ” Glimson asked.
uc1.b4097309	She lived at 392 South Fremington Street before she came here. ” “ Give any references?"
uc1.b4097309	She said in a tone of resignation,"All right, what do you want to know?"
uc1.b4097309	She said, “ What is there to sec?
uc1.b4097309	She said, “ You ask a lot of questions, do n't you?"
uc1.b4097309	She said,"You do n't come here very often, do you?"
uc1.b4097309	She was rather uncommunicative. ”"You were manager at the time?"
uc1.b4097309	She whirled to Elsie and said, “ Why the hell did n't you tell me? ” Elsie said demurely, “ I was trying to, Mrs.
uc1.b4097309	She's not crazy that way. ”"How did she really get the spinal injury? ”"I do n't know."
uc1.b4097309	Some little time. ”"Why?"
uc1.b4097309	Something in these papers?"
uc1.b4097309	That's all. ” “ Any messages you want to leave for Bertha? ” “ Tell her I'm down here."
uc1.b4097309	The accents were those of routine seduction, “ Cigars — cigarettes?"
uc1.b4097309	The man might have been mak- ing an audit of eternity"He's... dead? ” she asked from the doorway.
uc1.b4097309	The rest room attendant was under orders to set the watch an hour fast. ” She said without any particular expression, “ An hour fast?"
uc1.b4097309	Then she said,"Somehow you are n't the type I had pictured. ”"What do you mean by that?"
uc1.b4097309	Then what did you do?"
uc1.b4097309	There was a divorce. ” 96 GIVE'EM THE AX “ How long ago?"
uc1.b4097309	There, I'm giving myself away again. ” “ You like to dance, and occasionally you find a part- ner here, is that right?".
uc1.b4097309	They wreck themselves. ” Georgia Rushe said, “ I've been with Mr. Crail for nearly four years now. ” “ Who's Mr. Crail? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	This witness lived out on Graylord Avenue. ” “ What number? ” I said, “ Nix on it.
uc1.b4097309	Understand?"
uc1.b4097309	Understand?"
uc1.b4097309	Wait until they go to get her and then hang up. ”"Anything else? ”"Nope.
uc1.b4097309	Was the right- hand window on Miss Witson's car down or up?"
uc1.b4097309	We have something in common. ” “ Married?"
uc1.b4097309	We put Rufus Stanberry out of the blackmail business in one clean sweep. ” “ Then what happened? ” “ You know.
uc1.b4097309	We're going places. ”"Do I get my keys back? ” “ Naughty, naughty."
uc1.b4097309	We're realists, both of us. ” “ Suppose we are?"
uc1.b4097309	Were any previous de- mands made on you? ” Cullingdon said,"No.
uc1.b4097309	What about it?
uc1.b4097309	What are you trying to do, anyway?
uc1.b4097309	What can I do for you? ” The man reached in his pocket.
uc1.b4097309	What did you do?"
uc1.b4097309	What did you think?"
uc1.b4097309	What do they come here for?
uc1.b4097309	What do they get?
uc1.b4097309	What do they pay for?
uc1.b4097309	What do they seek?
uc1.b4097309	What do they want?
uc1.b4097309	What do you want us to do?
uc1.b4097309	What happened?"
uc1.b4097309	What is it?"
uc1.b4097309	What the hell do we have a private office for?"
uc1.b4097309	What was the name of this man you just called on?"
uc1.b4097309	What words did she use? ” A gleam of triumph came into Bertha's eyes.
uc1.b4097309	What's her name?
uc1.b4097309	What's it to you?"
uc1.b4097309	What's on your mind? ”"To begin with, ” Georgia Rushe said determinedly,"I'm a home wrecker. ” “ So what? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	What's on your mind? ”"To begin with, ” Georgia Rushe said determinedly,"I'm a home wrecker. ” “ So what? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	What's that? ” Bertha scowled portentously into the mouthpiece.
uc1.b4097309	What's the matter with you?
uc1.b4097309	What's the trouble? ”.
uc1.b4097309	When I came back he was married. ”"Slipped a fast one over on you? ” Georgia Rushe's eyes blazed.
uc1.b4097309	When Miss Witson went past you, she was looking at you and talk- ing to you, and your car was at the intersection, is that right?"
uc1.b4097309	When do you have to go back? ” “ I do n't. ”"Not ever?"
uc1.b4097309	When do you have to go back? ” “ I do n't. ”"Not ever?"
uc1.b4097309	Where did you come from? ”"South Seas, and various places. ” “ How long are you...

uc1.b4097309	Who is this? ”"Donald Lam talking."
uc1.b4097309	Who was it? ” “ A woman, ” he said.
uc1.b4097309	Who's mentioning my name?"
uc1.b4097309	Why did n't you tell me what I was going up against? ” “ I tried to, but you told me that no damn lawyer could rattle you."
uc1.b4097309	Why had he been so anxious to get me out of the place a few minutes before and was so willing to let me return now?
uc1.b4097309	Why start and stop and back and fill and mince around?
uc1.b4097309	Why the hell did n't you call me when you came in? ” “ I was busy."
uc1.b4097309	Why? ” I said, “ The place was the apartment of the cigarette girl who works at the Rimley Rendezvous.
uc1.b4097309	Will you? ”"Okay, sure."
uc1.b4097309	Working on some particular case?"
uc1.b4097309	You are n't letting this get you down, are you? ” I shook my head.
uc1.b4097309	You are n't mixed up in it, are you, lover? ”"No."
uc1.b4097309	You ca n't say a word without getting yourself in bad. ”"So what?"
uc1.b4097309	You can wait here. ”"And then?"
uc1.b4097309	You did n't go out on that ambulance case? ” He grinned.
uc1.b4097309	You did n't have any passengers to let out at the curb, did you?"
uc1.b4097309	You do n't think I'd better go inside the club and wait?"
uc1.b4097309	You remember you pointed that out to me yesterday night when you were trying to pin a murder on me?".
uc1.b4097309	You thought I was the kind that would do a trick like that, did n't you?"
uc1.b4097309	You're hard and- well, there's nothing aimless or smirking about you. ” “ What about the men who come here? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	You're sure of that? ” “ Yes.'
uc1.b4097309	You've got your keys, have n't you? ” “ Yes. ” “ All right, run along to dinner and have a good time."

uc1.b4097309	it was a matter of the greatest importance. ” ·"Woman? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	then in a low voice, “ is that the woman who... Oh, it is?
uc1.b4097309	“ All right, ” Bertha shouted at him, “ I stopped, then. ” GIVE'EM THE AX 163 “ Brought your car to a dead stop?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And I want to know all the answers. ”"Such as what? ”"What are your hours at the Rendezvous?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And I want to know all the answers. ”"Such as what? ”"What are your hours at the Rendezvous?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And beginning to gravitate toward you for guid- ance?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And he asked you what paper?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And then what?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And what are you going to do there?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And what the hell's all that got to do with this pinch? ” Sellers asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ And you knew that this was n't a parking place?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And you lied to him?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And you lost him?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And you think he dashed out and planted the weapon and...?"
uc1.b4097309	“ And your insurance company made a settlement?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Archie Stanberry. ” “ Who wants him?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Are n't you going to call the police?"
uc1.b4097309	“ At no time at all, had you operated your car in the middle lane?
uc1.b4097309	“ Business or social? ”"Confidentially it's a little of both.
uc1.b4097309	“ But you could n't hear the words? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ But you do n't know what it is?".
uc1.b4097309	“ But you had been over on the left- hand lane?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Cigarette? ” I asked Mysgart.
uc1.b4097309	“ Cigarette?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Cigarette?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Cigars- cigarettes? ” The voice with the smile was right over my shoulder.
uc1.b4097309	“ Cosgate and — what was that other name? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ Could n't hear any words? ”"No.
uc1.b4097309	“ Could n't they catch her at it? ” “ Not very well.
uc1.b4097309	“ Dance?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Did he find out anything?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Did you ask him why? ” “ Yes. ” “ What did he say?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Did you ask him why? ” “ Yes. ” “ What did he say?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Did you tell the police any more than you told me? ”"I do n't think I told them as much.
uc1.b4097309	“ Do n't you get the sketch?
uc1.b4097309	“ Do n't you,"I asked abruptly,"carry insurance?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Do names have to?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Do you, ” she asked bitterly, “ always get what you start after?".
uc1.b4097309	“ Either the man knew too much, or.. “ Or what? ” Bertha snapped as I paused.
uc1.b4097309	“ Ever been married?"
uc1.b4097309	“ For what?'
uc1.b4097309	“ Going to tell Rimley I was with you when you notified the police?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Have you any clues as to — as to how it happened?"
uc1.b4097309	“ He ever been here before? ” She met my eyes.
uc1.b4097309	“ He was my uncle. ” “ See him frequently?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Hello, Elsie. ” I asked, “ How's the blood pressure?"
uc1.b4097309	“ How come?"
uc1.b4097309	“ How did you get wise?"
uc1.b4097309	“ How is she?"
uc1.b4097309	“ How long ago?"
uc1.b4097309	“ How long have you been checking on it? ”"I...
uc1.b4097309	“ How's Bertha these days?"
uc1.b4097309	“ I do n't know. ” “ Did she get the divorce, or did he?"
uc1.b4097309	“ I know a hell of a lot about you. ” “ And why am I honored this afternoon?"
uc1.b4097309	“ I mean what's the object in getting the information? ” I said,"Shucks, I do n't know.
uc1.b4097309	“ I never tell my name. ”"Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ I think he was. ” “ Did he say anything to you about it?"
uc1.b4097309	“ I went across it. ” “ Straight across? ” “ Yes."
uc1.b4097309	“ I'm hoping you were n't as dumb. ” “ Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Is Mrs. Lidfield badly injured? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ Is that something new? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ Is that the case that you're working on now?"
uc1.b4097309	“ It's the way you did n't do the things you did n't lo, ” she said, “ that makes you a gentleman. ” “ How are we registered? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ Just what was your name?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Just what's your connection with Rimley?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Know any good automobile accident lawyers?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Know what the price was?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Leaving?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Legs? ” “ Naturally. ” “ I mean pretty?"

uc1.b4097309	“ Man or woman? ”"Woman. ” “ What did she want? ” The glittering little eyes met Sellers'for a moment, then shifted.
uc1.b4097309	“ Man or woman? ”"Woman. ” “ What did she want? ” The glittering little eyes met Sellers'for a moment, then shifted.
uc1.b4097309	“ May I ask what's your interest in it? ” I inquired.
uc1.b4097309	“ May I ask your name, please? ” our visitor asked Bertha.
uc1.b4097309	“ My name's Lam. ” “ What do you want to see him about? ” “ You guess. ” “ Newspaper? ”"What do you think? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ My name's Lam. ” “ What do you want to see him about? ” “ You guess. ” “ Newspaper? ”"What do you think? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ My name's Lam. ” “ What do you want to see him about? ” “ You guess. ” “ Newspaper? ”"What do you think? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ My whole arm. ” “ And gave a stopping signal?"
uc1.b4097309	“ No passes? ” “ That was n't what he came for."
uc1.b4097309	“ No serious damages, are there? ” Bertha chimed in.
uc1.b4097309	“ No, I did n't. ”"Did you look behind?"
uc1.b4097309	“ No, of course not. ”"What do you mean?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Not yet. ” “ Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Now try and twist something out of that. ”"Did you give a stop signal when you stopped?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Of course I looked behind. ” “ Turned your head? ” “ No.
uc1.b4097309	“ Of course. ”"Found out he was dead? ” “ Yes. ” “ And did what?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Of course. ”"Found out he was dead? ” “ Yes. ” “ And did what?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Oh yes, of course. ” “ Where is she now?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Oh yes. ” “ Who were they? ” “ Lots of them.
uc1.b4097309	“ Oh, then, you turned abruptly in front of oncoming traffic? ”"Certainly not, ” Bertha said.
uc1.b4097309	“ Oh, you stopped? ” “ Yes, I stopped, ” Bertha said angrily.
uc1.b4097309	“ Oh,"Mysgart said with well- simulated surprise,"then you did operate your car on the middle lane?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Okay, ” she said,"shut it off. ” “ Going to talk? ” “ Yes. ” I eased the car into the curb and settled back against the cushions.
uc1.b4097309	“ Personal injuries? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ Positive. ” “ All of the windows on the right- hand side of Miss Witson's car were up?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Say, what the hell's the matter with you? ” Billy asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ She did. ” “ A property settlement? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ So then she got some attorneys and sued you? ” Again he nodded.
uc1.b4097309	“ So what did you do when you got free of the other car — come directly back here?"
uc1.b4097309	“ So you picked me as a witness?".
uc1.b4097309	“ So, ” he said, “ got a key to the joint, have you?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Talking with her now? ” “ Yes. ”"Oh, Mr. Lam, I wonder if you could get this message to Mrs.
uc1.b4097309	“ That's right. ” “ And yet you stopped? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ That's right. ” “ Know anything about her — who her folks were?
uc1.b4097309	“ That's right. ”"At your suggestion? ”"As a matter of fact, ” Cullingdon said,"I was quite a bit put out about that.
uc1.b4097309	“ That's what I said. ” “ And exactly what did Miss Witson say to you?
uc1.b4097309	“ Theater?"
uc1.b4097309	“ There were some other witnesses?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Uncle Rufus. ” “ Left rather a considerable estate?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Very much so. ” “ How did it happen?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Want to dissolve the partner- ship?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Well, what's your best guess?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Well?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Well?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What can you find out in that time? ” Georgia Rushe asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ What did he want?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What did you do with the keys? ” She said, “ I put them back in his pockets. ” “ Then what?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What did you do with the keys? ” She said, “ I put them back in his pockets. ” “ Then what?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What did you do with your keys when you came in? ” Sellers asked casually.
uc1.b4097309	“ What did you do? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ What do you make of it? ” Bertha asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ What do you mean? ”"You were frightened? ”"Of course."
uc1.b4097309	“ What do you mean? ”"You were frightened? ”"Of course."
uc1.b4097309	“ What do you mean?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What happened then?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What happened when you shadowed Mrs. Crail? ” Bertha took a deep drag at the cigarette, exhaled, said,"I sat out in front of the Rendezvous.
uc1.b4097309	“ What happened?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What murder weapon? ” “ The hand ax, dope. ”"And where am I supposed to have planted it?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What murder weapon? ” “ The hand ax, dope. ”"And where am I supposed to have planted it?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What the hell's the idea of this thing anyway?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What the hell's the idea? ” the man said.
uc1.b4097309	“ What the hell's the idea? ” “ Nothing,"I said casually.
uc1.b4097309	“ What time is it?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What's at Bertha Cool's apartment?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What's the matter, did you miss them? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ What's the rest of it?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What's wrong with the watch? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ What's your draft status?"
uc1.b4097309	“ What's your professional name? ” “ Billy Prue. ” She switched on the headlights.
uc1.b4097309	“ What?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Where are they?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Where do you want to take this deposition?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Where the hell are you, lover? ” “ Down at the Rimley Rendezvous. ” “ Are you still there?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Where the hell are you, lover? ” “ Down at the Rimley Rendezvous. ” “ Are you still there?"

uc1.b4097309	“ Who the hell do you think you are, and what the hell do you mean by taking a powder?
uc1.b4097309	“ Why the amusement? ” I asked.
uc1.b4097309	“ Why... are n't you being just a little abrupt? ” I met her eyes and said, “ Yes."
uc1.b4097309	“ Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Why?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Wo n't you sit down, Mr. Smith? ” “ Thanks. ” I offered her a cigarette.
uc1.b4097309	“ Yes. ” “ All the way up?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Yes. ” “ And at the time of the accident you were over on the right- hand lane?"

uc1.b4097309	“ Yes. ”"Know who he was?"
uc1.b4097309	“ Yes. ”"Why are you crying?"
uc1.b4097309	“ You at his? ” “ No.

uc1.b4097309	“ You mean I wo n't have to hire any lawyer? ” “ No, Mr. Mysgart will appear for you.
uc1.b4097309	“ You mean that you do n't want to make any settlement now?"
uc1.b4097309	“ You mean you lost a dollar? ”"Yeah. ” I reached for the door of the agency car.
uc1.b4097309	“ You mean you'd offer it yourself out of your own pocket? ” “ Why not? ” “ But why should you? ” Mysgart said.
uc1.b4097309	“ You mean you'd offer it yourself out of your own pocket? ” “ Why not? ” “ But why should you? ” Mysgart said.
uc1.b4097309	“ You mean you'd offer it yourself out of your own pocket? ” “ Why not? ” “ But why should you? ” Mysgart said.
uc1.b4097309	“ You saw her eyes? ”.
uc1.b4097309	“ You say that Irma Crail had pulled this stuff before?"
uc1.b4097309	“ You two were going out to dinner? ” 78 GIVE'EM THE AX 79 I nodded.

uiug.30112098070177	Alan? ’ ‘ I ’ll join you, ’ said young Thorold promptly.

uiug.30112098070177	And have the whole story in the papers?
uiug.30112098070177	And how could he without the key of the vault? ’ ‘ No, ’ said the stonemason, ‘ he could n’t get into that there vault without a key.

uiug.30112098070177	Besides, she seemed really fond of him. ’ ‘ Who was she? ’ asked Alan bluntly.

uiug.30112098070177	Ca n’t you go to- day? ’ He shook his head.
uiug.30112098070177	Ca n’t you see, Alan, that Sophy must be married to you under her true name — Marie Lestrange? ’ ‘ Oh, must I? ’ cried the girl in dismay.

uiug.30112098070177	Did you see him? ’ ‘ No, ’ replied Alan quietly, ‘ but I heard of him.
uiug.30112098070177	Did you tell her? ’ ‘ Not such a fool, Mr. Beauchamp.
uiug.30112098070177	Do you hear that he says my husband stole Mr. Marlow ’s body? ’ ‘ So he did, ’ said Cicero doggedly.
uiug.30112098070177	Do you know if the door of the vault has been broken open? ’ ‘ No, no, certainly not! ’ cried the Rector, rising fussily.
uiug.30112098070177	Do you know who he was, Joe? ’ A PORTION OF THE TRUTH 255 ‘ No, sir, I do not, ’ replied Joe doggedly.
uiug.30112098070177	Do you mean Captain Lestrange? ’ ‘ Yes, sir, that ’s his name — a nasty French name.
uiug.30112098070177	Do you think I am sorry for what happened?
uiug.30112098070177	Does the fact of my having been here corroborate this cock- and- bull story?
uiug.30112098070177	Even if Marlow, as you assert, killed your cousin, he is dead, and beyond your reach. ’ ‘ Are you so sure he is dead? ’ sneered the man.
uiug.30112098070177	For that reason — unless you go — I shall bring the action. ’ ‘ And what can the law do to me? ’ he asked defiantly.
uiug.30112098070177	Go back to the Moat House, Miss Parsh, and send on Joe to the Good Samaritan. ’ ‘ Why there of all places? ’ asked the Rector.
uiug.30112098070177	Ha! ’ cried Alan suddenly, ‘ did Joe get it from Brown? ’ ‘ No, he did not.
uiug.30112098070177	Had Beauchamp been overheard by Mrs. Marry?
uiug.30112098070177	Had she brought someone to witness the discovery?
uiug.30112098070177	Has she got that out of you?
uiug.30112098070177	Have you anything to smoke, Mr. Thorold? ’ Alan got him an excellent cigar, and returned to the point.
uiug.30112098070177	Have you the jewels with you? ’ ‘ No, I dare not bring them.
uiug.30112098070177	He had been stabbed to the heart while senseless. ’ ‘ By whom — Warrender? ’ ‘ I do n’t know.
uiug.30112098070177	He lived thirty years with your father, did n’t be?
uiug.30112098070177	He never came back. ’ ‘ Who was the patient? ’ ‘ That is the strangest part of it.
uiug.30112098070177	He never did, and now we know the reason. ’ ‘ Why do n’t you make certain whether he saw the Quiet Gentleman? ’ ‘ Brown?
uiug.30112098070177	He never did, and now we know the reason. ’ ‘ Why do n’t you make certain whether he saw the Quiet Gentleman? ’ ‘ Brown?
uiug.30112098070177	He said he was ready to explain his absence to Mr. Thorold. ’ ‘ Did he?
uiug.30112098070177	He said so, at least, and I ai n’t set eyes on him since. ’ INVESTIGATION I 31 ‘ He said so?'
uiug.30112098070177	He wants all the money, and he ’ll get it by marry- ing that girl — if I let him. ’ ‘ If you let him?
uiug.30112098070177	He was struck all of a ’ eap — gaspin ’, faintin ’, and cussin'orful. ’ ‘ Did he show it to Miss Sophy? ’ asked Mrs. Crammer.
uiug.30112098070177	He was very quiet, ate and drank, read books ’ ‘ What kind of books? ’ ‘ Novels, sir — yellow novels, in a foreign tongue.
uiug.30112098070177	He ’s gone with her to the seaside. ’ ‘ To the seaside?
uiug.30112098070177	How can I be happy knowing poor father is n’t at rest? ’ ‘ His soul is at rest — the earthly tabernacle is nothing.
uiug.30112098070177	How can we find out the truth? ’ ‘ joe might know.
uiug.30112098070177	How could he have died so suddenly, Alan? ’ ‘ Well, of course, dear, a fit is always sudden.
uiug.30112098070177	How did I find Beauchamp again?
uiug.30112098070177	How did he fulfil his trust?
uiug.30112098070177	How did he know? ’ ‘ That I have to find out.
uiug.30112098070177	How did this man come to know the name?
uiug.30112098070177	How did you find out? ’ ‘ Through joe Brill.
uiug.30112098070177	How much do you require to hold your tongue? ’ ‘ Say five thousand, ’ whispered Mr. Gramp.
uiug.30112098070177	How unfortunate that two people I knew should be out of the way when I come to claim you! ’ ‘ Did you know Dr. Warrender? ’ asked Sophy quickly.
uiug.30112098070177	How was it he left a confession behind him? ’ ‘ It is an old confession, ’ replied Blair.
uiug.30112098070177	I Was She Justified?
uiug.30112098070177	I always regret having given it up. ’ ‘ Why did you? ’ ‘ You know, Sophy.
uiug.30112098070177	I am a stranger, and you must take me in. ’ ‘ Who the devil are you? ’ queried the coach- man.
uiug.30112098070177	I am flesh and blood. ’ ‘ You are alive, father? ’ gasped Sophy, amazed and somewhat terrified.
uiug.30112098070177	I can see it plainly. ’ ‘ Then the murder of — of Warrender? ’ whis- pered the Rector, with a look of terror.
uiug.30112098070177	I did not want the police brought into the matter, but Mr. Phelps in- sisted. ’ ‘ Why did you not want to consult the police?'
uiug.30112098070177	I do n’t know nothing about him. ’ ‘ Do you know a tramp named Cicero Gramp? ’ asked Alan, after a pause.
uiug.30112098070177	I he Ch ‘-'“'?
uiug.30112098070177	I know he, too, has vanished; but what else? ’ ‘ I ’m going to tell you, sir.
uiug.30112098070177	I left it in the hut myself. ’ ‘ Why did you not give information to the police? ’ ‘ What!
uiug.30112098070177	I looked out, and saw two men, one tall, the other short. ’ ‘ Who were they? ’ Alan asked anxiously.
uiug.30112098070177	I pause for a reply. ’ ‘ Why did you not tell Mr. Thorold about this? ’ demanded Sophy.
uiug.30112098070177	I prefer to hear it when he is present. ’ ‘ You do n’t believe me? ’ ‘ No, I do not.
uiug.30112098070177	I searched for him everywhere, but without success. ’ ‘ What about his estate? ’ asked Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	I shall bring Gramp back with me if I can manage it. ’ ‘ And Mrs. Warrender — shall I tell Blair about her? ’ ‘ I fear you must.
uiug.30112098070177	I suppose Lestrange bribed him? ’ ‘ Well, no, ’ said the Rector, ‘ not exactly.
uiug.30112098070177	I suppose it is best she should go? ’ ‘ Much better than to leave her here.
uiug.30112098070177	I suppose you are not staying in town? ’ ‘ Yes, at the Norfolk Hotel.
uiug.30112098070177	I wonder if t’other chap was the Quiet Gentle- man?
uiug.30112098070177	I wonder if, after all, your father can be alive — Marlow, I mean. ’ ‘ How can that be?
uiug.30112098070177	I ’ve got the address to send on letters. ’ ‘ Can I take them? ’ asked Gramp, rising.
uiug.30112098070177	If anyone — — ’ ‘ Mr. Brown went out at nine o’clock? ’ said Blair, cutting her short.
uiug.30112098070177	If not, how did it come there?
uiug.30112098070177	If you had not come I should have had to send for you. ’ ANOTHER SURPRISE 53 ‘ What do you wish to see me about, sir? ’ asked Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	In the meantime, sir, bring that key with you, and we will go into the vault. ’ ‘ What for? ’ demanded the Rector sharply.
uiug.30112098070177	In which way? ’ ‘ To hunt Lestrange down. ’ Alan shrugged his shoulders.
uiug.30112098070177	Inspector? ’ ‘ Probably to a cart waiting on the highroad, which runs across the moor.
uiug.30112098070177	Is Cicero generally — er — wanted? ’ inquired Alan delicately.
uiug.30112098070177	Is this the greeting of flesh and blood? ’ cried Mr. Gramp in a soaring voice, and standing on tiptoe.
uiug.30112098070177	It had an ivory handle, on which were carved two letters, ‘ A. T. ’ ‘ You found this in the hut? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112098070177	It had been my intention to have married Zelia when 290 THE MILLIONAIRE MYSTERY ‘ Not from the effects of your blow? ’ cried Alan incredulously.
uiug.30112098070177	It was his guilty conscience which made him so generous. ’ ‘ Guilty conscience, Alan?
uiug.30112098070177	It was my intention to have seen Sophy Marlow about it, but I thought I ’d wait. ’ ‘ To see what price you could get? ’ put in Blair.
uiug.30112098070177	Jarks has told you. ’ ‘ Told me what? ’ asked the Rector, with well- feigned ignorance.
uiug.30112098070177	Joe, you say that this man is Jean Le- strange? ’ ‘ Yes, sir.
uiug.30112098070177	Let us be clear upon the point of the Quiet Gentleman. ’ ‘ Do n’t you know, sir? ’ put in the eager cook.
uiug.30112098070177	Married or Single?
uiug.30112098070177	Miss or Mrs.?
uiug.30112098070177	Mr. Beau- champ, will you remain here? ’ ‘ Yes.
uiug.30112098070177	Mr. Beauchamp, can you give me a cheque? ’ ‘ No, ’ he said, shaking his head.
uiug.30112098070177	N o wonder she ran away, poor lass! ’ ‘ Did the way Achille treated Zelia give Beauchamp any right to murder him? ’ ‘ He did n’t murder him.
uiug.30112098070177	Need I say I refer to the lamented death of Mr. Marlow? ’ ‘ I ’ll have no godless mumming here, ’ said Mrs.
uiug.30112098070177	No doubt it was the drawing of blood which led to the murder. ’ ‘ Then you assert that Marlow was none other than Herbert Beauchamp? ’ ‘ I do.
uiug.30112098070177	No, I ca n’t rightly call anyone to mind. ’ ‘ Did you know the Quiet Gentleman, joe? ’ ‘ I did not, miss.
uiug.30112098070177	No; if we go abroad, we must either shut up the house or let it. ’ ‘ To the Quiet Gentleman? ’ said Sophy, with a laugh.
uiug.30112098070177	Nothing in the world will make me go with you! ’ ‘ But if I tell my story to the world? ’ cried Lestrange, hinting a threat.
uiug.30112098070177	Of course, you know what has happened at Heath- ton? ’ ‘ I know all, ’ answered the woman, in a rich, low voice.
uiug.30112098070177	Oh, Alan, is it true? ’ ‘ True — of course it is.
uiug.30112098070177	Oh, Beauchamp! ’ cried Alan passion- ately, ‘ why did you not trust Sophy and me?
uiug.30112098070177	Oh, dear Vicky, what does it mean? ’ For answer, Miss Vicky read the letter aloud.
uiug.30112098070177	One can not open a newspaper without coming across theories of how it hap- pened. ’ A STRANGE STORY 173 ‘ And the murder of Dr. Warrender?
uiug.30112098070177	Probably for that reason he was a bosom friend of Beauchamp ’s. ’ ‘ DO you mean to infer that Beauchamp was wild? ’ ‘ Well, not exactly.
uiug.30112098070177	Ring the bell for him. ’ ‘ Did joe know the Quiet Gentleman? ’ Alan asked when he had rung.
uiug.30112098070177	Shall I show him in? ’ ‘ Yes. ’ she said; and the visitor was an- nounced almost immediately.
uiug.30112098070177	She did not get the diamonds from Marlow, but legitimately, my dear boy, from her hus- band} ‘ And where did he get them?
uiug.30112098070177	She has Sophy ’s son and heir to care for, and what more can she want?
uiug.30112098070177	She will welcome you back with the greatest joy. ’ ‘ She must welcome me secretly. ’ ‘ Secretly — why?
uiug.30112098070177	Short, eh? ’ ‘ No; tall and thin, with a stoop.
uiug.30112098070177	Should your innocence be established, you would surely reappear as Richard Marlow? ’ ‘ What!
uiug.30112098070177	So Lestrange found out — from Jarks, I suppose — that I was at Heathton on the night of the funeral? ’ ‘ Yes, yes.
uiug.30112098070177	Sophy, what is the matter? ’ For the girl was clapping her hands and laughing hysterically.
uiug.30112098070177	Tell me, do you know who this so- called Quiet Gentleman really is? ’ ‘ No, Alan, I do n't.
uiug.30112098070177	That also is convenient. ’ I 188 THE MILLIONAIRE MYSTERY ‘ Do you mean that he is alive? ’ ‘ Yes.
uiug.30112098070177	That ’s impossible; he also has disappeared. ’ ‘ Who was he? ’.‘I do n’t know, ’ said Alan gloomily.

uiug.30112098070177	The doctor came, but Lestrange was out. ’ ‘ Did Warrender recognise him? ’ asked Beau- champ abruptly.
uiug.30112098070177	The money is to be paid into the Occidental Bank of London for transmission to him. ’ ‘ Where is he? ’ ‘ I do n’t know.
uiug.30112098070177	The other is dead. ’ ‘ And who murdered him? ’ ‘ Brown, ’ said the inspector, with conviction.
uiug.30112098070177	Then Warrender drugged me. ’ ‘ What did he give you? ’ asked Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	Then, observing the looks of surprise directed at him by the other two, he added: ‘ Did n’t you know?
uiug.30112098070177	There I saw Mr. Marlow. ’ ‘ Did he recognise you?'
uiug.30112098070177	There is only one hope that we may get it back. ’ ‘ The reward? ’ ‘ No; although Blair, and, I believe, Cicero, intend to work for that.
uiug.30112098070177	They lifted it over the low wall of the churchyard, and went, I think, across the moor. ’ ‘ You followed? ’ cried Alan breathlessly.
uiug.30112098070177	Timber, eyeing him closely, ‘ and who was Mr. Marlow? ’ This leading question perplexed Mr. Gramp not a little, for he knew nothing about the man.

uiug.30112098070177	Timber? ’ asked the young man, utterly bewildered.

uiug.30112098070177	Was he hunting him down?
uiug.30112098070177	Was it the doctor himself? ’ ‘ No, no! ’ cried Beauchamp.
uiug.30112098070177	We must pay it, and have your father ’s remains brought back. ’ ‘ And the murder, Alan? ’ ‘ Ahl that is the difficult part.
uiug.30112098070177	We ’ll go, Alan, we ’ll go; but I must take jarks. ’ ‘ The sexton? ’ ‘ Yes.

uiug.30112098070177	Well, I suppose you are wondering why I have come to see you? ’ She glanced at the card.
uiug.30112098070177	Well, one is Brown, the stranger who stayed with Mrs. Marry. ’ ‘ The Quiet Gentleman? ’ ‘ Yes.
uiug.30112098070177	Were we not boys together till he went to Africa? ’ ‘ Perhaps you can tell us about Mr. Marlow, ’ said the schoolmaster eagerly.
uiug.30112098070177	What Will the World Bey?
uiug.30112098070177	What about Sophy? ’ ‘ I ’ve seen her, and, of course, I was judicious in what I told her.
uiug.30112098070177	What about him?
uiug.30112098070177	What about the certificate? ’ He produced a pocket- book, and took out a piece of paper.

uiug.30112098070177	What do you mean? ’ He pushed away his plate and rose.
uiug.30112098070177	What do you mean? ’ ‘ Mean?
uiug.30112098070177	What do you mean? ’ ‘ Mean?
uiug.30112098070177	What do you mean? ’ ‘ That paper will inform you, ’ said Lestrange coolly.
uiug.30112098070177	What do you mean? ’ ‘ What I wrote in that letter your master received before he died. ’ ‘ Oh, you liar!
uiug.30112098070177	What do you think of it? ’ ‘ Upon my word, sir, I do n’t know what to think!
uiug.30112098070177	What for? ’ ‘ Because I fancy he knows a good deal more than he is inclined to tell, ’ replied Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	What good fairy sent you here?
uiug.30112098070177	What had he done with himself during the forty years he had lived in the West Indies?

uiug.30112098070177	What if he should be Marlow himself? ’ ‘ I can’t-—I wo n’t believe it! ’ cried the Rector, rubbing his bald head.

uiug.30112098070177	Why should n’t we get that reward by working together? ’ ‘ Really, my friend, I hardly see what I can do.
uiug.30112098070177	Why should that body have been stolen? ’ ‘ Perhaps Lestrange can tell you, Alan. ’ The little parson jumped up in a state of wild excitement.
uiug.30112098070177	Why should‘I deceive you? ’ ‘ Why, indeed! ’ said the girl bitterly.

uiug.30112098070177	Your father had informed him 220 THE MILLIONAIRE MYSTERY ‘ Then our idea that Lestrange was the Quiet Gentleman is false? ’ ‘ It must be, sir.

uiug.30112098070177	_ ‘ Who did it? ’ she demanded in the calmest voice.
uiug.30112098070177	and how do you intend to get them? ’ ‘ Never you mind.
uiug.30112098070177	and leave the servants to wilful waste and extravagance?

uiug.30112098070177	would n’t he be back if he was n’t?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ 1 am sure of it. ’ ‘ How can you be sure? ’ ‘ Because something unforeseen happened — ANOTHER DISAPPEARANCE I 39 the murder, probably.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ 50 you are Cicero Gramp? ’ began Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ About the disappearance of these two people. ’ ‘ What two people? ’ asked the young man, suddenly alert.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Ai n’t he there, quite comfortable? ’ wheezed he.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Alan, are you mad? ’ ‘ No.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And Warrender, what about his death? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And did I murder Warrender, too? ’ ‘ Alan!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And the Quiet Gentleman? ’ asked the cook with ghoulish interest.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And the police? ’ ‘ I thought you did not fear them, ’ was the reply.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And what about Beau- champ? ’ TROUBLE 2 1 7 ‘ Yes, yes! ’ cried Sophy.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And who says so?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ And — and — what does she say? ’ he stam- mered.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Are you rich? ’ he asked abruptly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Are you speaking of my father? ’ ‘ Of the man who passed as your father — yes, Marie, 1 am. ’ ‘ Pray do n’t call me Marie!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ At what? ’ ‘ At this case, Clara Maria.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Bless me, why should she?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ But I arsk again, sir, Is he good pay? ’ Alan was amazed at the Captain ’s impudence in making him stand sponsor for his respecta- bility.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ But if Lestrange goes to the police? ’ ‘ He wo n’t, ’ she said.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ But the same Christian name, Mr. Phelps?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ But why on earth did n’t she telegraph to you? ’ ‘ Well, you know how old- fashioned and con- servative she is, sir.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ But will he return? ’ demanded the girl tearfully.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Captain Lestrange? ’ she queried coldly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Cicero ai n’t wanted, is he? ’ ‘ Not by me.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ DO you intend to accuse me of my husband ’s murder? ’ ‘ I certainly do not; and I did not follow you.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Did I not know him as I know myself?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Did Marlow ever mention Jamaica? ’ Alan asked Mr. Phelps, when next they met.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Did n’t you know?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Did you observe this before, sir? ’ ‘ No, ’ replied Mr. Phelps, raising his pince- nez.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Did you find him?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do n't you know me, Alan? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you believe this man ’s tale for one moment?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you believe this murder was committed on the sacred soil of the churchyard, in God ’s own acre, Alan?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you come from him? ’ ‘ Perhaps I do, ’ answered Cicero, wondering to whom the ‘ him ’ might now refer.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you know that Mr. Marlow is dead? ’ she asked again.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you know the will?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you mean my real father? ’ ‘ NO, I mean the false one.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you think that Barkham ’s letter caused Mr. Marlow ’s death? ’ asked Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you think this story is true? ’ she asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Do you think, if my darling had lived, I should now be a wretched old maid?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Does Marlow know who killed him? ’ ‘ Strange as it may seem, he does not, Mr. Thorold.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Does anyone know? ’ ‘ Not to my knowledge.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Dol think it, sir?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Faithful! ’ growled the coachman, ‘ an ’ why not?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Have I your permission to sit down? ’ he asked, with studied politeness.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Have you found out the truth? ’ ‘ No; but I hope to do so — with your assistance. ’ She looked up suddenly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Have you the key of the Marlow vault in your pos- session? ’ ‘ Yes, of course, locked in my safe.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ He found something there which belonged to you. ’ ‘ What? ’ ‘ A lancet. ’ ‘ A lancet!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ He is a stranger to me. ’ ‘ Oh, is he? ’ muttered the landlady to herself ENMITY OF CAPTAIN LESTRANGE 193 as Alan galloped off.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How are you getting on, Mr. Thorold? ’ he said, stepping through the door, which Beau- champ locked behind him.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How can you enjoy cutting up people?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How could an old man helpless through gout in the feet carry off a dead body?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How do you know that, miss? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How do you know what my errand is? ’ ‘ Because I can put two and two together, Mrs. Warrender.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How much do you want? ’ she asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How the devil did it get there from the hut? ’ he said.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ How went the business? ’ asked Mr. Phelps.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ I am certain of it! ’ ‘ Why are you certain? ’ ‘ I feel it.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ I did n’t know him at the time; but I had his description from the servants. ’ ‘ Tall, yellow beard, bald head? ’ said Thorold rapidly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ I mean that the letter which disturbed you so much, might have hinted at the murder. ’ ‘ A letter?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ I wonder if they met and went away together? ’ ‘ My dear lad!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ I ’m particularly anxious to see the police, Mr. Joe Brill. ’ ‘ Who are you, in Heaven ’s name?'
uiug.30112098070177	‘ If so, why should Brown have stolen Thorold ’s key? ’ ‘ That ’s one of the things I have to find out.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Is he at home? ’ ‘ P’raps he is, p’raps he ai n’t, ’ retorted Mother Ginger, with a fascinating leer.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Is he lost, too? ’ ‘ Strangely enough, he is, ’ answered Phelps gravely.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Is it Mr. Gramp you want, m’dimber- cove? ’ ‘ Yes.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Is n’t it dreadful? ’ she said to Miss Vicky.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Is this what human nature is made of?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Is this your brother, Mrs. War- render? ’ ‘ To my shame, sir, I confess this — this creature ’ — Mrs.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Joe Brill! ’ ‘ What about him? ’ ‘ Do you think he is guilty?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Joe Brill! ’ ‘ What about him? ’ ‘ Do you think he is guilty?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Lor! ’ exclaimed the housemaid, ‘ and how do you know that, Mr. Thomas? ’ ‘ From observation, Jane, my dear, ’ Thomas smiled loftily.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ May I sit down?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ May I sit down?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Miss Sophy ’ll marry Mr. Thorold, wo n’t she?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Mr. Thorold has gone to Dixon's Rents, sir? ’ ‘ Yes, Mr.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ My boy, ’ he said pompously, ‘ who is the Quiet Gentleman?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ My husband, you wretch! — have you killed him? ’ ‘ No, Clara Maria, no!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Oh dear, what is all this? ’ ‘ I ’ll tell you when we get home, ’ said the girl.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Oh, Alan, my boy, must you? ’ ‘ You can judge for yourself, ’ replied Alan, unable to suppress a smile.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Oh, I assure you, Mr. Thorold, I make a very good tourist. ’ ‘ And he went to Brighton? ’ ‘ Yes, direct to Brighton.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ On what evidence? ’ ‘ On circumstantial evidence, ’ said Blair smartly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Remember you are talking to a lady! ’ ‘ To a rich lady or to a poor one? ’ ‘ Upon my soul, this is too much!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Shall I come with you? ’ ‘ No, sir.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Shall I have good luck in this place? ’ cried he.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Sophy, ’ said Alan suddenly, ‘ had your father any enemies? ’ She looked round at him in astonish- ment.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Surely that describes the man we saw reciting?'
uiug.30112098070177	‘ That ’s a liel I ’ve been with him these thirty years, and I never saw you! ’ ‘ Not in jamaica? ’ inquired Cicero sweetly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ The hut — what hut? ’ ‘ I want my money before I tell you that, Mr. Thorold. ’ Alan took five ten- pound notes out of his pocket.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Then this man is not Sophy ’s father? ’ gasped Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Then was this Mr. Beauchamp really my father or a relative? ’ ‘ I think he was Mr. Marlow, dear, ’ said her lover gravely.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Then you ca n’t help us in any way, Joe? ’ said Alan, eyeing him thoughtfully.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Then, why did he not tell me? ’ Alan burst out angrily.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Very good, ’ said her brother, rising; ‘ I go. ’ ‘ Without your fifty pounds? ’ asked Alan, sneering.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Was Lestrange the Quiet Gentleman? ’ ‘ Yes, ’ replied Blair, with triumph.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Was it, Clara Maria?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Was your lodger a Frenchman? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Well, joe, where have you been? ’ he asked sharply.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Well? ’ said he.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What I want to know, sir, is, where is the swab? ’ ‘ In London.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What can he do? ’ ‘ He can prove if Lestrange ’s story is true or false. ’- ‘ Story, Mr. Alan!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What did he know about him? ’ ‘ Nothin’, ’ replied joe firmly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What do you think of it, sir? ’ ‘ Really — bless me! — I hardly know.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What do you think of that, sir? ’ ‘ Most elegant caligraphy, ’ said the good man.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What has that got to do with you? ’ cried Mrs. Warrender furiously.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What the devil ’s all this? ’ was the polite question.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ What- key?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ When am I to get it? ’ he asked sulkily.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who delivered it? ’ she asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who did? ’ Mrs. Warrender drew back, with a look of cunning on her face.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who is he, Thomas? ’ ‘ Looks like a foreigner, miss.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who is he? ’ ‘ A fat man — a tramp — a reciter.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who is the other man? ’ asked Alan abruptly.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who is this gentleman, Sophy? ’ demanded Alan.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who the devil are you? ’ asked joe, ad- vancing.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Who was he afore he came to take the Moat House five year ago?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why did I say that? ’ he murmured.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why did Joe keep me and Miss Marlow in the dark? ’ he asked.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why did n’t you tell me this, jarks? ’ ‘ Lor ’ bless you, Miss Sophy, ’ twas little use vexin ’ you.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why do you make this strange assertion? ’ she asked, looking again at his card.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why should we go there? ’ ‘ Ca n’t you understand?'
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why should we go there? ’ ‘ Ca n’t you understand?'
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why — why?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why, Alan?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Why? ’ ‘ Ah!
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Wot d’ye want with him? ’ IN DIXON ’S RENTS 99 ‘ This will explain. ’ And Alan put Cicero ’s letter into her hand.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ Wot is it? ’ she inquired.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ You are afraid of the police? ’ IN DIXON ’S RENTS 103 ‘ Far from it, Mr. Thorold.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ You dare not arrest me; and you, Mr. Thorold, will be sorry if you do not employ me. ’ ‘ Employ you?
uiug.30112098070177	‘ You know who the man is as well as I do. ’ ‘ I am waiting to hear how you connect the two. ’ ‘ What two? ’ asked Miss Marlow.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ You mean that Mr. Thorold stole the body for scientific purposes? ’ ‘ For dissection — yes.
uiug.30112098070177	‘ You — you here, after all? ’ Beauchamp, shutting and locking the door after him, strode into the room.

wu.89006525091	Could he, even though what he had warned her he might be, the greatest rogue unhung, be false to a trust reposed in him by such a woman?
wu.89006525091	Did you think him idiot enough to carry it where you'd find it at the first dip?
wu.89006525091	Do the swine want us to shell their boats?"
wu.89006525091	Do you hear, imbecile?"
wu.89006525091	Do you imagine I could rest if I thought you had sacrificed yourself for me?"
wu.89006525091	Do you mind taking over my job?"
wu.89006525091	Do you understand?
wu.89006525091	Do you understand? ” “ Perfectly, ” said Lanyard with a look of fatuous inno- 152 THE FALSE FACES cence.
wu.89006525091	Do you wish to speak to him?"
wu.89006525091	Eh, Monsieur Duchemin? ” “ It is war, ” said Lanyard with a shrug.
wu.89006525091	Ember, I believe? ” he said in a voice studiously musical.
wu.89006525091	Even I, too, often am put to it to make both ends""If you please, sir- how much? ”"Ten thousand dollars."
wu.89006525091	Feeling better now? ” Lanyard's essays to reply began and ended in a croak for water.
wu.89006525091	For that matter, why had he felt called so publicly to descant upon the natural history of the Lone Wolf?
wu.89006525091	H'm Young and good- looking?"
wu.89006525091	Had he been dreaming, then?
wu.89006525091	Had his assailant, then, unwrapped it subsequently?
wu.89006525091	Had she likewise, perhaps, received some secret signal from the guardian of the lower gateway?
wu.89006525091	Had the Knickerbocker operator been less stupid and negligent than she seemed?
wu.89006525091	Had the accomplices of the dead Baron von Harden set off an infernal machine aboard the vessel?
wu.89006525091	Have you a key to his rooms? ” “ Yas’m, I got a pass- key, but — “ Please use it.
wu.89006525091	Have you any idea of its value? ” Lanyard lifted a whimsical eyebrow.
wu.89006525091	He keeps seeing things, hearing them, especially by night. ” “ What sort of things? ”"Faces."
wu.89006525091	He swung around, clapped receiver to ear, snapped an impatient “ Well?"
wu.89006525091	Him- self?
wu.89006525091	How had its bandages come to be unwrapped?
wu.89006525091	How long can he last, do you think, at this pace?"
wu.89006525091	How should they?
wu.89006525091	How was he to know he had hardly left his lodgings before their hush was interrupted by the grumble of the house telephone?
wu.89006525091	How's that? ” “ Grossartig!"
wu.89006525091	How?
wu.89006525091	I am sorry. ” “ Sorry?"
wu.89006525091	I did so want to dance- missed you, Arthur. ” “ I say, you did n't, did you, really?"
wu.89006525091	I had no idea he was in New York- had you? ”"Perhaps a dim suspicion, ” Crane admitted with a twinkle, taking Lanyard's hand.
wu.89006525091	I pre- sume it did n't occur to you that the young woman might need further protection?"
wu.89006525091	I should have said: what are you to do? ” He whipped his wits together.
wu.89006525091	If so, with what end in view?
wu.89006525091	Impossible to believe his disguise had been so soon penetrated And yet, again, that gossip of the smoking room Police work?
wu.89006525091	In order to focus upon that one the attentions of his enemies?
wu.89006525091	In the latter event, who was conceivably responsible but Velasco, Dressler, O'Reilly — any one of these, or all three working in concert?
wu.89006525091	In the name of reason, why?
wu.89006525091	Is all that clear, imbeciles? ” The imbeciles, saluting mechanically, indicated glim- merings of comprehension.
wu.89006525091	Is it material which way I leave?"
wu.89006525091	Is it part of your system with women always to be a little late, always to keep us wondering?"
wu.89006525091	Later, if necessary; but now- surely, you can help me carry him to his stateroom. ” “ You know the number?"
wu.89006525091	May I venture to hope mademoiselle will prove as ready to command my services? ” “ Thank you.
wu.89006525091	Mind leaving by this emergency exit? ”.
wu.89006525091	Monsieur Duchemin,"Stanistreet began, but hesitated—"or do you prefer another style? ”"I am content with Duchemin."
wu.89006525091	No? ” The Prussian tossed off a half cupful of undiluted brandy, and shuddered.
wu.89006525091	Now what was this which Mr. Blensop so spon- taneously had, and from the having of which he derived so much apparently innocent enjoyment?
wu.89006525091	One of these probably But which?
wu.89006525091	Or had Ekstrom's creatures picked up his trail once more?
wu.89006525091	Or to put him on guard?
wu.89006525091	Or was that, too, a freak of his imagination?
wu.89006525091	Or why had Velasco been so quick to communicate recognition of Lanyard to an employee of the United States Secret Service?
wu.89006525091	Please what time is it?"
wu.89006525091	Schuyler nine, three hundred?
wu.89006525091	Shall I tell'something? ” He filled his cup again, half and half, and sat down, his wicked, rat- like face more than ever pale and repulsive.
wu.89006525091	Shall you be long, George? ”"Oh, half an hour or so, ” her husband responded absently as she disappeared.
wu.89006525091	So I had to leave, to try to lose myself. ”"Your wife I mean to say, you married, did n't you? ” Lanyard nodded.
wu.89006525091	Still — if I may venture the sug- gestion — those windows open upon a garden, I take it? ” “ Yes.
wu.89006525091	Stone?"
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 135 “ How long? ” Lanyard demurred.
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 195 “ Why not? ” Mrs. Arden enquired calmly, stripping her fingers of their rings.
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 205"Why not?"
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 223 “ What of him?"
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 243 “ Why do you continue so persistently antago- nistic?"
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 47 “ And you miss nothing else? ”"Nothing."
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 67"Who was it? ” he asked, weighing the knife in his palm and examining it as closely as he could without the aid of light.
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES 7 A third voice chimed in: “'Ello?
wu.89006525091	THE FALSE FACES Or had she neglected to turn the switch when she went out?
wu.89006525091	That you, Jack?"
wu.89006525091	The Lone Wolf is in America! ” “ What is that you say? ” Mrs. Arden demanded sharply.
wu.89006525091	The other died instantly. ”"In God's name, monsieur- who?"
wu.89006525091	Then how to hide the paper?
wu.89006525091	Then why?
wu.89006525091	To keep a jealous eye on the Lone Wolf, perhaps?
wu.89006525091	To make the Assyrian a glaring target in the night- what else?
wu.89006525091	To what end?
wu.89006525091	Was it possible, then, that the United States had already declared war on Germany?
wu.89006525091	Was one to esteem Velasco friend or foe?
wu.89006525091	Was the reason brute apathy or sheer foolhardihood?
wu.89006525091	Was there a hint of irony in Blensop's employment of that style?
wu.89006525091	Was there a link between that circumstance and the long delay which Lanyard had suffered in the telephone booth?
wu.89006525091	Was there an accent of hesitation in this response?
wu.89006525091	Was there any reasonable explana- tion of the strange lack of his wonted self- sufficiency in the company of Cecelia Brooke?
wu.89006525091	Was this merely the reaction from some bitter nightmare?
wu.89006525091	Was this what Sophie had noticed?
wu.89006525091	Well, what then?
wu.89006525091	What I want to know is, did you?"
wu.89006525091	What conceivable motive induced her to dabble those slender hands in the muck and blood of Secret Service work?
wu.89006525091	What do you say to that, eh? ” “ Colossal!"
wu.89006525091	What had happened?
wu.89006525091	What had the American noticed, or been told, to make him surmise covert sympathy between the girl and the lieutenant?
wu.89006525091	What hidden motive excused this singular hesitation to summon the surgeon, this reluctance to inform the officers of the ship?
wu.89006525091	What if she proved to be all she seemed?
wu.89006525091	What if, after all, these doubts of her were the specious spawn of facts misinterpreted, misconstrued?
wu.89006525091	What is your price to Germany? ” “ Whatever you have in mind, believe me when I say I have nothing to sell to the Wilhelmstrasse."
wu.89006525091	What more natural than that she should make early occasion to consult the head of the British Secret Service in America?
wu.89006525091	What other market?"
wu.89006525091	What room in that dark heart of his for love?
wu.89006525091	What to do without arms?
wu.89006525091	What was her name?
wu.89006525091	What was his life?
wu.89006525091	What was it to him?
wu.89006525091	What's this? ” The first rejoined him.
wu.89006525091	Where is that document? ” “ Document?"
wu.89006525091	Where is that document? ” “ Document?"
wu.89006525091	Who cares? ” She heard him in a stare.
wu.89006525091	Who else?
wu.89006525091	Who knows?
wu.89006525091	Who might this neighbour be who tried his door so stealthily?
wu.89006525091	Who's there? ”"Your steward, sir.
wu.89006525091	Why did you not look around, help yourself?
wu.89006525091	Why had Thackeray carried that sound arm in a sling?
wu.89006525091	Why had he been lured to this place, if its character were truly what he feared?
wu.89006525091	Why had this Miss Cecelia Brooke, surprising the thug at his work, joined battle with him so bravely and so madly without calling for help?
wu.89006525091	Why live, when one might die and, dying, find endless rest?
wu.89006525091	Why must he have fallen in so readily with her suggestion?
wu.89006525091	Why not change all that?"
wu.89006525091	Why not?
wu.89006525091	Why not? ” the lieutenant demanded.
wu.89006525091	Why should he care to go on living?
wu.89006525091	Why this infatuate thirst for sympathy, this eagerness to violate the seals of reticence at the wish of a strange woman?
wu.89006525091	Will you accompany me? ”"Why not?"
wu.89006525091	Will you accompany me? ”"Why not?"
wu.89006525091	Wot's all the row abaht? ”"Step up and tike a look for yerself.
wu.89006525091	Wot's up?
wu.89006525091	Would such an one confess she had a “ secret ” to an utter stranger, as she had to Lanyard that first night out?
wu.89006525091	Yes, Karl?"
wu.89006525091	You are thinking it over?
wu.89006525091	You do n't believe I do, do you? ” His eyes rolled wildly.
wu.89006525091	You kamerad-- wot? ” “ Kamerad!"
wu.89006525091	You think that right?"
wu.89006525091	but “ Then to- morrow? ” Mr. Blensop smiled patiently.
wu.89006525091	fools jumping overboard like cattle “ What's that rocket?
wu.89006525091	found you out?
wu.89006525091	have brought a friend with you?
wu.89006525091	how did that get on board? ” Lanyard mentioned the girl's name.
wu.89006525091	what the deuce was she to this man whom, indisputably, she followed against his wish?
wu.89006525091	what was any woman to him?
wu.89006525091	will you never die?"
wu.89006525091	“ A great pity,"he muttered, opening a locker and fumbling in its depths—"rotten pity “ What?"
wu.89006525091	“ And Mrs. Stanistreet I say, are n't you a bit late? ”"Frightfully,"assented Mrs. Stanistreet in a weary voice.
wu.89006525091	“ And how does one effect miracles? ” “ Germany offers you a refuge, security, freedom to ply your trade unhindered- within reasonable limits."
wu.89006525091	“ And in exchange what do I give? ” “ Your services, as and when required, in our service."
wu.89006525091	“ And locked the door after him?"
wu.89006525091	“ And what do you ask for it, sir? ” “ Nothing."
wu.89006525091	“ And what name shall I say?"
wu.89006525091	“ And what,"a satiric English voice enquired, “ do you assume that reason to be? ” “ Search me.
wu.89006525091	“ And you, sir?"
wu.89006525091	“ Any idea what she wants? ”"She did n't say, sir — but she seemed much distressed. ” “ They always are.
wu.89006525091	“ Any such attempt would mean almost certain death! ” “ What of it?
wu.89006525091	“ Anything of consequence turned up? ” he enquired abstractedly, running through the sheets of pen- blackened paper.
wu.89006525091	“ Base? ” The Prussian hiccoughed and giggled.
wu.89006525091	“ Because of that packet? ” she breathed.
wu.89006525091	“ Blensop? ” “ Sir? ” “ How much have we on hand, in the emergency fund?"
wu.89006525091	“ Blensop? ” “ Sir? ” “ How much have we on hand, in the emergency fund?"
wu.89006525091	“ Blensop? ” “ Sir? ” “ How much have we on hand, in the emergency fund?"
wu.89006525091	“ But I fancy such an one would find it far from easy to secure passage upon this or any other vessel. ” “ How so?
wu.89006525091	“ But do you mind going out this way? ” He moved toward the curtained door opposite the chimney- piece.
wu.89006525091	“ But how about the water- is it deep enough?"
wu.89006525091	“ But what else can you do with it?
wu.89006525091	“ But you are quite sure? ” “ My jewels are all in order, ” she affirmed, without meeting his gaze.
wu.89006525091	“ But you? ” “ It is I whom they want, not you.
wu.89006525091	“ Can we do nothing?"
wu.89006525091	“ Chaperoning Miss Brooke's investigations into the 232 THE FALSE FACES to his lodgings, had framed that note to entice him to this place to- night?
wu.89006525091	“ Colonel Stanistreet?
wu.89006525091	“ Colonel Stanistreet? ” he called diffidently.
wu.89006525091	“ Did n't I tell you everybody alive would be here?"
wu.89006525091	“ Did n't it strike you as odd she should wish to be left alone with Lieutenant Thackeray?"
wu.89006525091	“ Do you find anything? ” he enquired, when Stone straightened up.
wu.89006525091	“ Do you know me now-the man you thought you'd drowned a hundred fathoms deep? ” Blows thundered on the hallway door.
wu.89006525091	“ Do you mean to tantalize me longer with your reticence? ” But something in the haggard eyes he showed her made the girl catch her breath.
wu.89006525091	“ Do you mind taking that with you?
wu.89006525091	“ German spy? ”"Possibly. ” “ Or an English traitor?
wu.89006525091	“ German spy? ”"Possibly. ” “ Or an English traitor?
wu.89006525091	“ Have I not given you freedom of ship?
wu.89006525091	“ How can I communicate with you in event of neces- sity after we get to New York? ” she asked.
wu.89006525091	“ How did you happen to be up and dressed at that late hour, so ready to respond to this- ah- premonition of yours? ”"I sleep not well, monsieur.
wu.89006525091	“ How does it go, now?"
wu.89006525091	“ How is that? ” Lanyard asked, returning the cordiality of his grasp.
wu.89006525091	“ Howson anywhere about? ”"I did n't see him.
wu.89006525091	“ Hush? ” the other iterated with contempt.
wu.89006525091	“ I escaped, no matter how"You do n't know who stole the packet?"
wu.89006525091	“ I returned to Europe after a year, the spring before the war. ” “ Why?"
wu.89006525091	“ I take it nobody's been pawing over this since the late, as you might say, unpleasantness? ”"Not a soul has touched it.
wu.89006525091	“ I was for a time. ” “ You came back to serve France? ” Lanyard shook his head.
wu.89006525091	“ I'm to be back at midnight? ” “ Twelve sharp; you'll be sure to find him here then.
wu.89006525091	“ Is that necessary?
wu.89006525091	“ Is there anything more?"
wu.89006525091	“ Just so: why should I? ” The lieutenant's accents rose to a shrill pitch.
wu.89006525091	“ Let Lionel judge what is best to be done when he comes to. ” “ But, mademoiselle, who can say when that will be?"
wu.89006525091	“ Lis'n, boss: is this all right, on the level, now?"
wu.89006525091	“ Monsieur is not leaving? ” he expostulated shrilly, darting forward.
wu.89006525091	“ Moreover, Herr Lanyard, you will do yourself a very good turn by confessing-- entirely aside from saving your life. ”"How is that?"
wu.89006525091	“ My dear Mr. Ember! ” he purred soothingly—“why did n't you tell me last night it was you who had sent that telegram?
wu.89006525091	“ Not a bad notion, is it?
wu.89006525091	“ Not'whisper of this, mind- though I think'crew sometimes suspects: he's going mad! ”"Not that Bavarian? ” The lieutenant nodded wisely.
wu.89006525091	“ On the Emperor's service “ What's that? ” The officer turned back sharply.
wu.89006525091	“ Over to the beach you mean?
wu.89006525091	“ She asked for Colonel Stanistreet or for me? ” “ Colonel Stanistreet, sir.
wu.89006525091	“ Still"I trust Monsieur does not question my good faith? ”.
wu.89006525091	“ Suppose I make one- tip you overboard, take to my heels?"
wu.89006525091	“ The Boche?"
wu.89006525091	“ Then why so keen to get the Brooke girl on the telephone as soon as you found out where she was stopping?"
wu.89006525091	“ Then you know nothing?"
wu.89006525091	“ Then — God in Heaven!—why we standing here?
wu.89006525091	“ This is the gentleman? ” Captain Osborne queried heavily of the girl.
wu.89006525091	“ To cover the body?
wu.89006525091	“ Very tired? ” “ Very He had the maddest notion that her head inclined to droop toward his shoulder.
wu.89006525091	“ Was I long?"
wu.89006525091	“ We I have much to thank you for already, mon- sieur, much more than I can ever hope to reward adequately-"Reward?"
wu.89006525091	“ Well, monsieur? ” she demanded.
wu.89006525091	“ Well?
wu.89006525091	“ What can have become of it?
wu.89006525091	“ What did you say to her? ” “ What could I say, sir?
wu.89006525091	“ What did you say to her? ” “ What could I say, sir?
wu.89006525091	“ What do you imagine I heard to- night?
wu.89006525091	“ What do you mean to do?"
wu.89006525091	“ What do you mean? ” Stanistreet demanded.
wu.89006525091	“ What else?"
wu.89006525091	“ What is it?"
wu.89006525091	“ What is life? ” he questioned.
wu.89006525091	“ What is the matter? ” “ I am ashamed that I have failed you"Do n't think of that.
wu.89006525091	“ What makes you think Colonel Stanistreet is connected with the British Secret Service?"
wu.89006525091	“ What the devil has come over you?"
wu.89006525091	“ What then, Monsieur Duchemin? ”"Colonel Stanistreet,"said the impostor deliberately, “ I have that communication.
wu.89006525091	“ What were you doing on board the Assyrian? ” Lanyard mustered enough strength to look the man squarely in the eye.
wu.89006525091	“ What were you doing there? ” she whispered in the end.
wu.89006525091	“ What's this?"
wu.89006525091	“ When you have memorized the address you will destroy it? ”"Depend on that. ”"I think that is all.
wu.89006525091	“ Where is it?"
wu.89006525091	“ Where would you go?
wu.89006525091	“ Which-? ” “ The last- named. ”"Ekstrom?
wu.89006525091	“ Which-? ” “ The last- named. ”"Ekstrom?
wu.89006525091	“ Who are you?"
wu.89006525091	“ Who knows? ” Lanyard replied with a smile.
wu.89006525091	“ Who, then, is this? ” he demanded, joining her.
wu.89006525091	“ Why do you say that?"
wu.89006525091	“ Why is a lone wolf, anyway? ” The Brazilian's voice took on an accent of exasperation.
wu.89006525091	“ Why not?
wu.89006525091	“ Will you do this for me, Monsieur Duchemin?
wu.89006525091	“ With the prospect of a bottle with you?
wu.89006525091	“ Wot's yer gime?
wu.89006525091	“ Would it not be well now to call the ship's surgeon?"
wu.89006525091	“ Yes; but suppose the beast knows the contents of this paper, suspects the authorship of the'frame- up'- as he instinctively would — and blabs?
wu.89006525091	“ You abandon your seclusion- leave your secret unguarded? ” “ Why not? ” She shrugged slightly with a little moue of discontent.
wu.89006525091	“ You abandon your seclusion- leave your secret unguarded? ” “ Why not? ” She shrugged slightly with a little moue of discontent.
wu.89006525091	“ You are wounded?"
wu.89006525091	“ You have found no clues--?"
wu.89006525091	“ You returned to Paris?"
wu.89006525091	“ You saw that animal outside the walls? ” Mildly injured surprise was indicated in the reply: “ Surely, sir!"
wu.89006525091	“ You think that? ” “ That the Boche had specific instructions to waylay and sink the Assyrian?

wu.89006525091	“ You want me to swear-?"
wu.89006525091	“ You will smoke? ” Stanistreet indicated a cigarette- box and leaned back to glance through the letters.
wu.89006525091	“ Your price?"
wu.89006525091	“'Inside job? ” ” Dressler pleaded.
umn.31951002085110h	About- what? ” said Spargo. umn.31951002085110h All lies, young man, the boy is n't dead- any more than And my secret is “ Well?"
umn.31951002085110h	And about that boy of his?
umn.31951002085110h	And he's never given you any documentary evidence of any sort to prove the truth of that story? ”Never!
umn.31951002085110h	And when the race- meeting fell through? ” asked Spargo. umn.31951002085110h At daybreak? ” he exclaimed.
umn.31951002085110h	But what makes him think that? ” he asked, peep- ing with curiosity beyond Driscoll's burly form. umn.31951002085110h But why should a man deposit an empty box? ” be- gan the chairman.
umn.31951002085110h	Did he mention his ship? ” asked Rathbury. umn.31951002085110h Did n't ask him what he meant?"
umn.31951002085110h	Did you ever handle it yourself, Mr. Myerst? ” THE LEATHER BOX 97 Myerst smiled in a superior fashion. umn.31951002085110h Do you suggest anything? ” UNDER SUSPICION 119 “ No, I do not!
umn.31951002085110h	Do you think he does?
umn.31951002085110h	Every one? ” said Spargo, in some surprise. umn.31951002085110h Good?"
umn.31951002085110h	Have you seen anything of Mr. Elphick this morning? ” The charwoman rolled her eyes and lifted her hands. umn.31951002085110h Have you seen him, since? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	I did I was going back to the hotel, you see. ” “ What were they doing? ” “ Talking uncommonly earnestly, sir.
umn.31951002085110h	I may ask you a few questions about him? ” sug- gested Spargo in his most insinuating manner. umn.31951002085110h I suppose you know as much as he does — about this? ” “ He and I, ” replied Spargo, with easy confidence,"are working this case together.
umn.31951002085110h	It can be seen? umn.31951002085110h It is your belief that Mr. Aylmore, when you met him, was accompanied by the man who, according to the photographs, was John Marbury?"
umn.31951002085110h	Lon- don's an ant- heap, is n't it? umn.31951002085110h May I be allowed to make an explanation, sir? ” he began.
umn.31951002085110h	Mr. Criedir? ” said Spargo. umn.31951002085110h Odd how things turn up, is n't it?
umn.31951002085110h	Oh? ” he said—“Marbury! umn.31951002085110h Perhaps his scheme does n't fit in with yours, Mr. Spargo?
umn.31951002085110h	That he?' umn.31951002085110h That,"observed Rathbury with a quiet smile,"that is quite certain, ma’am?
umn.31951002085110h	The question is--will it achieve its object? ” “ What's the object?
umn.31951002085110h	The question is--will it achieve its object? ” “ What's the object?
umn.31951002085110h	Then why, in the sacred name of common sense did no one ever take steps to make certain?'' umn.31951002085110h There!-what did I tell you? ” he said.
umn.31951002085110h	Was he married when he went out there? ” “ No, he was n't. umn.31951002085110h What? ” “ The picture of the man they say was murdered- John Marbury. ” “ You're sure of that?'
umn.31951002085110h	What? ” “ The picture of the man they say was murdered- John Marbury. ” “ You're sure of that?' umn.31951002085110h Where is that?"
umn.31951002085110h	Why?
umn.31951002085110h	Yes- what is it?
umn.31951002085110h	Yes. ”Who?"
umn.31951002085110h	You've heard about this murder in Middle Temple Lane?
umn.31951002085110h	'Aye?'
umn.31951002085110h	'Easy to find all these things out? ” she repeated.
umn.31951002085110h	'No matter,'he says,'I daresay there are lots of men in your line of trade- perhaps you can recommend me to a good firm?'
umn.31951002085110h	'What's the use,'says I to her, of your letting yourself get so fond of that child, and looking after it as you do, and educating it, and so on?'
umn.31951002085110h	1 120 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER"Then- to reiterate- it was you who took Marbury into the Temple that night?"
umn.31951002085110h	112 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER>>>> “ You walked after them?
umn.31951002085110h	>> “ How far did you walk? ” “ As far as Waterloo Bridge."
umn.31951002085110h	ARRESTED 187 “ Do you still happen to have a copy of it? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	ARRESTED 191"And who was he?"
umn.31951002085110h	About- in fact, about his leather box. ” “ His leather box? ” said Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	And I think you can help me. ” “ How do you know that it is a murder case? ” asked Breton quietly.
umn.31951002085110h	And Marbury himself, sir, now?
umn.31951002085110h	And do you happen to be able to tell me the old cove's name and his address, Mollison?"
umn.31951002085110h	And how did you come to recognize Mr. Aylmore, Member of Parlia- ment? ” “ Well, sir, in this way.
umn.31951002085110h	And how much did he give you for it?"
umn.31951002085110h	And it was all no good, Spargo! ” “ He wo n't say anything? ” “ He'll say no more.
umn.31951002085110h	And now- what name do you know him by?"
umn.31951002085110h	And that he came from Australia? ” “ That's so,"answered Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	And the old cove took a fancy to it, eh? ”"Bought it there and then,"answered Mollison, with something very like a wink.
umn.31951002085110h	And the question for him, Spargo, was- what to do?
umn.31951002085110h	And then peo- ple began to talk, and they said what some of them say to this very day! ” “ What's that? ”'asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	And what have you to tell? ” Mr. Webster looked into the crown of his hat, looked out of it, and smiled knowingly.
umn.31951002085110h	And who is he, I should like to know?
umn.31951002085110h	And you know nothing whatever of your father's past be- yond what you've told me?"
umn.31951002085110h	And you really think, sir, that John Maitland and John Marbury are one and the same person? ” “ I'm sure of it, now, ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	And you took the stick to him?"
umn.31951002085110h	And you'll give me a little matter of money, wo n't you, young man?'
umn.31951002085110h	And, of course, I had him in my eye when I took the stick away- see? ” “ I see.
umn.31951002085110h	Anything about this ticket, for instance?"
umn.31951002085110h	Anyway, his name and address are here, are n't they?"
umn.31951002085110h	Are n't you, now, Evelyn?''
umn.31951002085110h	Are you com- ing?"
umn.31951002085110h	As things stand- look here, does it strike you that your father is in a very serious position? ” “ Serious?"
umn.31951002085110h	As things stand- look here, does it strike you that your father is in a very serious position? ” “ Serious?"
umn.31951002085110h	But I think"Well? ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	But there it was! ” “ How was the thing discovered? ” asked Spargo, anx- ious to get at facts.
umn.31951002085110h	But where else did 89 90 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER he go?
umn.31951002085110h	But you'll give me a little matter to put in my pocket, young man?
umn.31951002085110h	But — how did Marbury get into the Temple, unobserved?
umn.31951002085110h	But — what is it?"
umn.31951002085110h	But — why?
umn.31951002085110h	But- can we get a mouthful of bread and cheese and a glass of ale first? ” “ Good idea!
umn.31951002085110h	But- if Marbury was murdered for the sake of what he had on him- how did he meet with his murderer or murderers in there?
umn.31951002085110h	But- where did Mr. Breton say you wished to be taken? ”"Into the gallery of number seven court, ” said the younger girl promptly.
umn.31951002085110h	By the by, when did he die, Miss Baylis? ” But Miss Baylis was going on again to the house.
umn.31951002085110h	Cardlestone what you've just told me?'
umn.31951002085110h	Come to beg to be a member, Spargo?"
umn.31951002085110h	Could you recognize him- I mean, a photograph of him?
umn.31951002085110h	Dead- ain't he? ” Driscoll bent down and put a thumb on the hand which lay on the pavement.
umn.31951002085110h	Did Marbury say he'd call on Cardle- stone? ” “ He did.
umn.31951002085110h	Did Marbury tell you anything about the contents of the box?"
umn.31951002085110h	Did you see him?"
umn.31951002085110h	Did you then leave England soon after knowing Marbury? ”"I did.
umn.31951002085110h	Do 9 you?"
umn.31951002085110h	Do you know anything about your parentage? ” “ Nothing — beyond what Mr. Elphick has told me."
umn.31951002085110h	Do you know where the'King of Madagascar'public- house is in this quarter of the town, young man? ” “ No! ” answered Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Do you recol- lect anything of anybody like Aylmore coming here to see Maitland, Mr. Quarterpage? ” “ I do n't, ” answered Mr. Quarterpage.
umn.31951002085110h	Do you see?''
umn.31951002085110h	Do you wish any reply I may give you for publication?"
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ” Before Spargo could reply to this suggestion an of- ficial entered the room and whispered a few words in the detective's ear.
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ” “ And you think Mr. Aylmore can tell? ” asked Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ” “ And you think Mr. Aylmore can tell? ” asked Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ” “ Who are you?"
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ” “ Who are you?"
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ”- THE SILVER TICKET 127"You think- people will say that?"
umn.31951002085110h	Eh? ”- THE SILVER TICKET 127"You think- people will say that?"
umn.31951002085110h	Elphick, then, is in some way connected with this affair. ” “ You mean the- murder? ” “ I mean the murder.
umn.31951002085110h	Going straight through with it now, I sup- pose, Mr. Spargo? ” Spargo dropped into the chair nearest to Rathbury's right hand.
umn.31951002085110h	Going to join'em, I reckon, sir? ” FORESTALLED 293 of this bush but for a short moment; then came swiftly and noiselessly back to his companion.
umn.31951002085110h	Had n't he got an address in the Temple?
umn.31951002085110h	Had you dealings with him?"
umn.31951002085110h	Have you any relations in England? ” THE BLANK PAST 195 “ None that we know of,"replied Evelyn.
umn.31951002085110h	Have you never heard him speak of his boyhood?
umn.31951002085110h	He asks — why?
umn.31951002085110h	He might have had- nothing on him, eh? ” The detective laughed, and pointed to a board on which names were printed.
umn.31951002085110h	He was carrying a little box- “ What sort of box? ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	He went out at half- past eleven. ”"And the other gentleman?''
umn.31951002085110h	He'd but what's the use of enumeration in this case?"
umn.31951002085110h	He-"“ What time exact time?"
umn.31951002085110h	Help to write that piece in the paper, eh? ” Spargo hesitated.
umn.31951002085110h	How close?'
umn.31951002085110h	How did he strike you?"
umn.31951002085110h	How else can you explain his presence in the Temple?
umn.31951002085110h	How long do you remain in town?'
umn.31951002085110h	How should I get it in this town if I'm a stranger? ” “ Quite true, quite true!"
umn.31951002085110h	How was he going to set about this difficult task?
umn.31951002085110h	I say, do have some more tea- cake?
umn.31951002085110h	I suppose you'll be doing a special account yourself, for your paper, eh?
umn.31951002085110h	I told you I'd sent a man to Fiskie's, the hatter?
umn.31951002085110h	I was figuring on my next step, and"“ Do you see it?"
umn.31951002085110h	I'm sure you've heard all about what's known as the Middle Temple Murder- the Marbury case?''
umn.31951002085110h	In Heaven's name, why? ” he demanded.
umn.31951002085110h	In that case, the opening will be made early tomorrow morning. ” “ Shall you go? ” asked Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	Is it anything I can tell her? ” “ No, ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Is the tea all right?"
umn.31951002085110h	Is there the slightest clue that will fasten the guilt on anybody else? ” Spargo gave no answer to these questions.
umn.31951002085110h	Is this the man?"
umn.31951002085110h	It was an acquaintanceship of some time ago? ” began the suave, seemingly careless voice.
umn.31951002085110h	It was-put on me. ” “ Put on you, was it? ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Just so — and Mrs. Walters, I pre- sume?'
umn.31951002085110h	Let's see if there's anything of the sort here?"
umn.31951002085110h	Look here, Breton, ” he continued, aloud, “ have you access to Aylmore?
umn.31951002085110h	Look here, are you going to start your writing just now?"
umn.31951002085110h	MR. AYLMORE IS QUESTIONED 105 “ No more? ” “ Certainly no more."
umn.31951002085110h	Mr. Spargo what are you going to write about my father and to- day's proceedings?"
umn.31951002085110h	Mr. Spargo, tell me!-what did you think about- about what has just happened?"
umn.31951002085110h	No difficulty in recognizing of that, Mr. Spargo. ” “ You're absolutely sure? ”'demanded Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Nobody knows even their names there they could go and lie quiet there for — ages. ” “ Do you know the way to it? ”"I do — I've been there."
umn.31951002085110h	Nothing doing in this town, then? ” he added in a louder voice.
umn.31951002085110h	Now then, what will you bet on the chances of this chap's information proving valuable? ” “ Nothing,"replied Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	Now, Mr. Elphick, can I come to see you tomorrow morning? ” “ Yes, yes, tomorrow morning! ” replied Elphick eagerly.
umn.31951002085110h	Now, having seen Mr. Aylmore and his companion, what did you do? ” “ Oh, I just turned and walked after them."
umn.31951002085110h	Now, if you were on our house committee, Spargo, old man, would you go in for the wine- cooler or the ventilat- ing fan?
umn.31951002085110h	Now, look here, between ourselves, how much do you know about your father's — past? ” The two sisters looked at each other and then at Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Now, the question is- Do we go straight there, or do we put up for the night?
umn.31951002085110h	Now, then, may I ask you a question or two?"
umn.31951002085110h	Now, where did Aylmore know him?
umn.31951002085110h	Now- but wo n't you take down what I've got to tell you? ”"I am taking it down,"answered Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Of course, he was trying to find you. ” “ But — the late hour? ” “ No matter.
umn.31951002085110h	Oh, he knows all right! ”"And what did he say?"
umn.31951002085110h	Perhaps you'll have to save your father from the consequences of his own- shall we say obstinacy?
umn.31951002085110h	Portrait of a baby, eh?"
umn.31951002085110h	Quarterpage,"said Spargo,"what's your own honest opinion? ” The old gentleman smiled.
umn.31951002085110h	See?"
umn.31951002085110h	So it was you who took that queer- looking stick out of Mr. Aylmore's rooms in Fountain Court, was it?"
umn.31951002085110h	So there?"
umn.31951002085110h	So this was in the dead man's pocket? ” “ Found in a hole in his pocket, I understand: I was n't present myself.
umn.31951002085110h	So- you un- derstand?"
umn.31951002085110h	Something?
umn.31951002085110h	Spargo?"
umn.31951002085110h	Spargo?"
umn.31951002085110h	THE ANGLO- ORIENT HOTEL 43"And how's that to be done? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	That will do? ”"I shall be here at eleven,"said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	That's about it, is n't it?"
umn.31951002085110h	That's another fact! ” “ How,"asked Breton, sternly, “ can you prove it?
umn.31951002085110h	That's the truth- I do not know. ” “ You expect us to believe that? ” exclaimed Breton incredulously.
umn.31951002085110h	The fact is — I suppose you want this for your paper, eh? ” he continued after a sudden breaking off.
umn.31951002085110h	Then, I take it, you were very well known to each other twenty or twenty- two years ago? ” “ We wereyes, well known to each other."
umn.31951002085110h	There's no room for any false bottom or anything of that sort, d'you see?"
umn.31951002085110h	Therefore, I can not make out how this young gentleman – from Lon- don, did you say, sir? ” “ From London, ” answered Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	They already know that he knows more about Marbury than he'll tell, that"“ But does he?"
umn.31951002085110h	They were going east- ward, then? ”"They were walking by the way I'd come. ”"You followed them eastward?'
umn.31951002085110h	They were going east- ward, then? ”"They were walking by the way I'd come. ”"You followed them eastward?'
umn.31951002085110h	To fetch a document which I had in my keep- ing, and had kept for him for twenty years or more! ” “ A document of importance?"
umn.31951002085110h	To whom did he speak?
umn.31951002085110h	Understand?"
umn.31951002085110h	Unexpected?
umn.31951002085110h	Walters?
umn.31951002085110h	Want him?"
umn.31951002085110h	Was n't he in the Temple?
umn.31951002085110h	Well — anything come of your jaunt westward? ” “ Yes, ” replied Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Well — now how much is he mixed up?"
umn.31951002085110h	Well, that clears up a lot, does n't it?'
umn.31951002085110h	Well, the best of thanks, Crowfoot, and I'll tell you all about it some day. ” “ Have another drink? ” suggested Crowfoot.
umn.31951002085110h	What can it be? ”"Do n't know- I never saw anything of the sort either, ” said Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	What did he do?
umn.31951002085110h	What do you say, Jim? ” The other policeman coughed.
umn.31951002085110h	What is it, Spargo?"
umn.31951002085110h	What place, office, resort? ”"I ca n't remember particular places.
umn.31951002085110h	What then?"
umn.31951002085110h	What was his name when you knew him at that time?"
umn.31951002085110h	What was your business before you left England? ” “ I was interested in financial affairs.'
umn.31951002085110h	What were you doing last night, old man? ” “ Sleeping, ” said Spargo and went by with a nod.
umn.31951002085110h	What's he like, this man? ” Rathbury glanced at a clock which stood on the man- telpiece.
umn.31951002085110h	What, you'd try to bribe me? ” Mr. Elphick wrung his hands.
umn.31951002085110h	What? ” “ Never mind- wait until we see if that coffin con- tains a dead body or lead and sawdust.
umn.31951002085110h	When I've fin- ished that, you'll pay for another for me and perhaps another?
umn.31951002085110h	When Marbury left you, did he put those stamps in his box again, as before?"
umn.31951002085110h	When you got close to Waterloo Bridge, did you meet anybody you knew?"
umn.31951002085110h	Where did you carry on your busi- neiss?"
umn.31951002085110h	Where did you know him?'
umn.31951002085110h	Where is it?''
umn.31951002085110h	Where on earth did you get this, Spargo? ” Spargo took the ticket and carefully re- wrapped it, this time putting it in his purse.
umn.31951002085110h	Who was he? ” asked Spargo, intuitively conscious that he was coming to news.
umn.31951002085110h	Whose grave?"
umn.31951002085110h	Why did you not make it before? ” “ For my own reasons.
umn.31951002085110h	Why had she to do that, young man? ” “ Heaven knows! ” answered Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	Why should I?'
umn.31951002085110h	Why should they remember him?
umn.31951002085110h	Why, then, the ex- traordinary interest which the Member of Parliament's appearance aroused?
umn.31951002085110h	Why, what else could they say?"
umn.31951002085110h	Why?
umn.31951002085110h	Why?
umn.31951002085110h	Why? ” “ Because they're afraid of something coming out.
umn.31951002085110h	Why? ” “ Why?
umn.31951002085110h	Why? ” “ Why?
umn.31951002085110h	Why?"
umn.31951002085110h	Will you buy'em, and how much will you give for'em?
umn.31951002085110h	Will you, can you, see him before he's brought up at Bow Street tomorrow? ” “ Yes,"answered Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	Without doubt? ” he exclaimed.
umn.31951002085110h	Would you like to come?'
umn.31951002085110h	Yes?
umn.31951002085110h	You are going to write about this for your paper? ” Spargo nodded.
umn.31951002085110h	You do n't recognize this handwriting, I sup- pose?"
umn.31951002085110h	You have n't?"
umn.31951002085110h	You know what you told me to do yesterday as regards Aylmore?"
umn.31951002085110h	You know young Breton, the barrister?--you met him with me, you re- member?'
umn.31951002085110h	You know young Breton, the barrister?--you met him with me, you re- member?'
umn.31951002085110h	You met Mr. Aylmore close to Waterloo Bridge?
umn.31951002085110h	You must go?
umn.31951002085110h	You re- member I told you of the photograph found with the silver ticket?
umn.31951002085110h	You remem- ber them, of course, quite well? ” Mr. Quarterpage got up and moved to the door.
umn.31951002085110h	You wish to speak to me?"
umn.31951002085110h	You — you really think he was coming to me when he was struck down?''
umn.31951002085110h	Your sis- ter 1-Breton?"
umn.31951002085110h	body you know? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	hear that?
umn.31951002085110h	she says,'Why, what have you to tell, I should like to know?'
umn.31951002085110h	thing recalled that face to you within this last day or two? ” “ Yes, sir, indeed!"
umn.31951002085110h	«'What then? ” “ Well, then, Mr. Marbury rang for some whiskey and soda, ” continued Mrs. Walters.
umn.31951002085110h	‘ You're a dealer in stamps- rare stamps?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ About Marbury being an ex- convict?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Ah, you remember me? ” said Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Alone? ”"No."
umn.31951002085110h	“ Always on the Temple side? ” “ Just so, sir- straight along on that side."
umn.31951002085110h	“ And how old are you, and how old is your sister? ” demanded Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And is n't Mr. Spargo writing all these articles about the Marbury case?
umn.31951002085110h	“ And not- not simply out to make effective news? ” “ I'm out to find the murderer of John Marbury, said Spargo deliberately slow in his speech.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And nothing happened at the police- court? ” “ Nothing — another remand.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And of what was he convicted? ” “ Oh, of course, we know all about it- now.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And old sporting matters? ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And so you went along and looked? ” he suggested.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And supposing you saw a photograph of the tall gentleman with the grey beard? ” suggested Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And that you know where he is? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And they went to Marbury's room? ” said Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And this man, sir?
umn.31951002085110h	“ And what was it, sir?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ And what will you do next, sir? ” enquired Mr. Quarterpage.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And where do you live, and what do you do? ”'asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And who is he? ” “ I'll tell you the story, ” answered Spargo, “ and in a summary.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And yet you and he must have had several business acquaintances at that time who knew you both? ”"Possibly — at that time.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And you came to England- how long after that? ”"Two years.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And you have come to the conclusion that — but what conclusion have you come to? ” asked Mr. Quarterpage.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And you say that's a ticket for the stand? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And you want? ”"I want to find out the full significance of that bit of paper, and who wrote it,"answered Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ And — the gentleman?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ And-- what are you do- ing — you, yourself?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Any- thing wrong? ” “ We want a bit of information,"answered Rathbury, almost with indifference.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Anything of Mr. Elphick this morning, Mr. Breton? ” he answered.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Are there many?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Are you any nearer — is Rathbury any nearer?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Are you telling me that you accuse my guardian and his friend, Mr. Cardlestone, of being- murderers?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Are you? ” “ I am,"said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Aye? ” said Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	“ But as whomas what?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ But pray, how do you know that I have the sad shame of being John Maitland's sister- in- law?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ But the bank people? ” suggested Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ But there 30 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER-so do gentlemen who write for the papers, do n't they?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ But when you met, you knew each other at once? ” “ Well — almost at once.
umn.31951002085110h	“ But — the others?
umn.31951002085110h	“ But, ” he added, with a sly laugh, “ I suppose you want some more good copy, eh? ” Spargo glanced at his watch, rose, and picked up his hat.
umn.31951002085110h	“ But- how do you know that was the thing that Marbury was struck down with?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ But- why? ” he asked, showing great surprise.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Ca n't see in it any resemblance to any man you've ever known?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Can you arrange for me to be present when that comes off?''
umn.31951002085110h	“ Can you tell me what that is? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Close friends?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Come our way again then, sir?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Could you recognize him from that? ” “ Make no doubt of it, sir,"answered Mr. Webster.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Did Maitland go up to London much in those days? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Did n't I say I should get some news?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Did n't give you any hint as to what was in it? ” asked Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Did n't you say that you knew a man who lives in that block in the entry of which Marbury was found?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Did you ever hear the name of the gentleman who took the boy away? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Did you know the man? ” “ No.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Do the inhabi- tants die much of inanition?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Do you know Mr. Elphick, Mr. Spargo? ” enquired the younger Miss Aylmore.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Do you know the way? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Do you think he'd tell me a bit about those Austra- lian stamps which Marbury showed to Criedir, the dealer?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Do you think that old chap was killed for what he may have had on him? ” he asked, suddenly turning on the detective.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Does Aylmore know that he's been identified? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Eh? ” he exclaimed.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Ever heard of him?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Ever seen that writing before? ” he suggested.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Getting nearer- a bit nearer- eh?''
umn.31951002085110h	“ Good heavens- what game?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Had he received a call from Marbury? ” “ No!
umn.31951002085110h	“ Had you noticed anything? ” Mrs. Walters seemed a little confused by this direct question.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Have you got some idea about this, young man? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Have you read the accounts of it in my paper, the Watchman? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ He had it on him when he left me. ” “ Will you tell us what it was? ”'Certainly not!"
umn.31951002085110h	“ He would have it on him when he was — as we be- lieve he was murdered and robbed?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ His?
umn.31951002085110h	“ How came you to find him, then? ” he asked The porter jerked his head at the door which they were leaving.
umn.31951002085110h	“ How do you do? ” said Spargo slowly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ How do you get to Market Milcaster? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ How far did you follow them?''
umn.31951002085110h	“ How far? ” he asked Breton as they walked away from the station.
umn.31951002085110h	“ How long- roughly speaking? ” “ I should say from twenty to twenty- two or three years.'
umn.31951002085110h	“ How much do you want for your secret? ” he sud- denly asked, turning to his companion.
umn.31951002085110h	“ How old is your father? ” he asked suddenly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ How? ” she demanded.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I ca n't remember that. ” “ What was his private address? ” “ That I never knew."
umn.31951002085110h	“ I followed them until they came to the Embank- ment lodge of Middle Temple Lane, sir. ” “ And then?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ I said — What did you say to that? ” Myerst hesitated.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I say again what's all that to me? ” she exclaimed.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I say, Spargo, is that really so? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I suppose he's said something?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ I suppose one can talk until the judge enters? ” he whispered.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I suppose you read the newspapers and possibly the Watchman, Miss Baylis? ” But Miss Baylis shook her head.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I suppose you've heard the news? ” Spargo nodded as he dropped into a chair.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I understand that you desire to ask me some question about John Maitland, of Market Milcaster? ” she said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ I? ” he said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ If you please, sir, is Mr. Spargo, of the Watchman, here?
umn.31951002085110h	“ In fact, you wo n't tell us any more than you choose to tell?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ In that case,"she said, “ what do you want to ask?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Is his name there? ” The old man ran the tip of his finger down the list of names.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Is it possible to get that box opened? ” “ It'll have to be opened, ” answered Rathbury, rising.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Is it what you think? ” she asked in a low voice.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Is n't Mr. Justice Borrow sitting in one of the courts this morning? ” he suddenly asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Is that-certain?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Is this really Mr. Breton's first case? ” “ His very first- all on his own responsibility, any way, ” replied Spargo's companion, smiling.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Just Well, Mollison — what about the stick?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Material? ” asked Spargo, tersely.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Never saw him during that time until you met ac- cidentally in the way you have described to us? ” “ Never. ” “ Ever heard from him?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Never saw him during that time until you met ac- cidentally in the way you have described to us? ” “ Never. ” “ Ever heard from him?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ No, sir, never, to anybody. ” “ And you have never known the gentleman standing there as anybody but Mr. Anderson?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ No- body been in yet? ”'asked Mr. Kaye.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Nobody you could go to for information about the past?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Now, on that night in question, did Mr. Anderson leave again by your lodge? ” “ No, sir.'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Now, you're absolutely sure about what you heard 60 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER him exclaim? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Of, I see, the Watchman?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Oh, by the by,'he said, “ is n't your guardian, Mr. Elphick, a big au- thority on philately? ” “ One of the biggest.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Oh? ” he said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ On the evening of June 21st last were you in Lon- don on your way to Paris? ”>>"I was.
umn.31951002085110h	“ One moment,"said the old gentleman, as Spargo was hurrying away,"do you think this Mr. Aylmore really murdered Maitland?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Quiet? ” “ That, ” continued Spargo, “ is precisely what I ob- served.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Quite a young'un! ” “ But what is it? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Quite sure about it?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Really important? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Say?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Shall I put the things on the table? ” “ Aye, put them on, my dear, put them on!"
umn.31951002085110h	“ So you know that gentleman- make sure now- as Mr. Anderson, an inmate of the Temple? ” “ Yes, sir."
umn.31951002085110h	“ So, I suppose, are you, Cardlestone?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Some mystery, eh? ” suggested Crowfoot.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Some- body listening? ” There was a curious cackle of laughter from behind the hedge; then the cracked, husky voice spoke again.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Something hand- some, I hope?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Spargo,"he said, suddenly, “ do you think you'll get that order for the opening of the grave at Market Milcaster?''
umn.31951002085110h	“ Sure he's got nothing else on him that's dangerous, Spargo?
umn.31951002085110h	“ The Watchman's about the most powerful paper in London, is n't it? ” she said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ The object? ” he said, drily.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Then they did n't believe what his counsel said — that Chamberlayne got all the money? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Then will you tell us why Marbury went with you to the chambers in Fountain Court which you tenant under the name of Anderson? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002085110h	“ There ai n't no danger of me being got into trouble along of that stick? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ This information, now?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ To get him to tell all?-Yes, ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ To what? ” asked Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	“ True?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Was Rathbury in court? ” he suddenly asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ We settled yesterday, did n't 71 72 THE MIDDLE TEMPLE MURDER we, that you and I are to consider ourselves partners, as it were, in this job?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well, but had n't the dead boy any relatives on his father's side?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well, what about the lid, then?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” he growled.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” he said to the boy.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” he said, almost roughly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” he said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” said Spargo despairingly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” said Spargo, as he sprang out: “ How is it? ”> THE LEATHER BOX 93"It's all right,"answered Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” said Spargo, as he sprang out: “ How is it? ”> THE LEATHER BOX 93"It's all right,"answered Rathbury.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Well? ” “ Well, young man, there you are,"said his new ac- quaintance.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Were you? ” “ Certainly not! ” “ What were the dealings that you had with him?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Were you? ” “ Certainly not! ” “ What were the dealings that you had with him?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What are you go- ing to give me, young man?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What are you going to do about it?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What are you, Mr. Lyell? ” “ Traveller, sir, for the firm of Messrs. Stevenson, Robertson& Soutar, distillers, of Kilmarnock."
umn.31951002085110h	“ What can I do for you, sir? ” he enquired.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What can he do to help us?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What d'ye think of today's doings, Spargo? ” he asked, as he proceeded to unlock a cupboard.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What did they say when you accused them? ” asked Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What did they say, you ask?
umn.31951002085110h	“ What do you expect from — from what we've just heard? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What do you make of it?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What do you really think? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What do you say? ” he demanded.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What does Aylmore say about it? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What is it, Mr. Rathbury? ” he enquired.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What is it, Rawlins? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What is it? ” The messenger came up to the desk.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What is it?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What is it?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What is it?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ What led to it? ” he asked abruptly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What made you think some enquiry would be made, ma'am? ” he asked.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What reasons were or are they which prevented you from telling all this at first? ” asked the Treasury Counsel.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What then? ” she chuckled.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What time was that? ” he asked.

umn.31951002085110h	“ What's your case- when's it down?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ What's your theory, Mr. Spargo? ” he asked sud- denly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What, going to see an elderly gentleman in his rooms in the Temple, to offer to sell him philatelic rari- ties at- past midnight? ” he said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What, precisely, have we found out? ” asked the editor.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What, then? ” demanded Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What, ” he asked meditatively, “ what will you do about getting this man identified? ” The inspector shrugged his shoulders.
umn.31951002085110h	“ What?
umn.31951002085110h	“ What?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where did you get this? ” “ Never mind, just now, ” replied Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where did you leave him, sir? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where did you transact your business with him? ” “ Well, we met, now and then."
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where does this Miss Baylis live? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where was it found? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where were you born? ” “ Both of us at San Gregorio, which is in the San José province of Argentina, north of Monte Video."
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where's Market Milcaster? ” enquired Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Where?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Who are you, anyway? ” The woman, who had begun mumbling and chuckling over the half- sovereign, grinned horribly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Who is the man? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Who is this other witness?'

umn.31951002085110h	“ Who's there? ” he demanded.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Who, then? ” asked Spargo, as they hurried out.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Whose name and address? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why did n't they get an order for exhumation? ”"Because it was nobody's particular business to do"answered Mr. Quarterpage.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why not?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why, Mr. Elphick, should you suppose that I should MR. ELPHICK'S CHAMBERS 237 come to you at all?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why,"asked Breton, after a pause, “ why did you never accuse Cardlestone, or Chamberlayne, of the mur- der?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why? ” exclaimed Mr. Quarterpage.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Why?"

umn.31951002085110h	“ Will you step round and take a look at him, Mr. Breton? ” he said.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Will you tell them to the court? ” “ No!"
umn.31951002085110h	“ With what? ” “ You promised to tell me something — a great deal, you said- if we found that coffin empty.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Yes — and how? ” asked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Yes, I say, Spargo! ” “ Well?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ Yes, of course, but how, how, how is it going to be done? ” exclaimed Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Yes, that's the way to get him, is n't it? ” said Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Yes? ” he said quietly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You can prove all this, I suppose? ”, remarked Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You can- certain?
umn.31951002085110h	“ You do n't know him by any other name? ” 115 UNDER SUSPICION 117 “ That is that the other gentleman wore a grey suit.

umn.31951002085110h	“ You mean that?'
umn.31951002085110h	“ You mean to find out who killed this man? ” he said at last.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You never remember anything of your childhood- I mean of any person who was particularly near you in your childhood?"
umn.31951002085110h	“ You recognize it? ” “ Know it!
umn.31951002085110h	“ You say he was murdered? ” said Breton.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You think he was unduly influenced by him? ” Mr. Quarterpage shook his head sadly.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You want to find the somebody else? ”"I want you to help me to find the somebody else, ” answered Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You will — won't you? ” Spargo allowed himself to retain possession of the hand.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You wish to see Miss Baylis? ” said this person, ex- amining Spargo closely.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You're a news- paper man, sir? ” he suggested.
umn.31951002085110h	“ You're after that? ” “ I'm after that just that."
umn.31951002085110h	“ You.?
umn.31951002085110h	“ Your duties take you, I think, over to Paris occa- sionally? ” “ They do- once every six weeks I go to Paris."
umn.31951002085110h	“ Your father was in business there? ”"He was in business in the export trade, Mr. Spargo.
umn.31951002085110h	“ Your name is David Lyell? ” “ That is my name, sir. ” “ And you reside at 23, Cumbrae Side, Kilmarnock, Scotland?'

umn.31951002332122y	I'd think it a very curious quin — quin What's the word?
umn.31951002332122y	If I keep it both of us will profit by it, but if you?
umn.31951002332122y	If you will come about noon some da?
umn.31951002332122y	If you're not, why did you fire those bullets my way?
umn.31951002332122y	Instantly her look of curiosity changed to one of suspicion, and repeating, ‘ What's in it?
umn.31951002332122y	Is he at home? ’ “ Mrs.
umn.31951002332122y	Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss? ” “ Frances?
umn.31951002332122y	Is her sympathy with Mr. Deane so great as to cause her to weep over his loss? ” “ Frances?
umn.31951002332122y	Is it beautiful?
umn.31951002332122y	Is it money you want? ” was her des- perate greeting.
umn.31951002332122y	Is that young lady here?
umn.31951002332122y	Is there unconsciousness in it, or just the hilarity of a dis- tracted mind bent on self- destruction?
umn.31951002332122y	Is this the police- station? ” “ It is. ” “ Well, then, a detective is wanted at once at The Evergreens.
umn.31951002332122y	It fell out??
umn.31951002332122y	It fell out??
umn.31951002332122y	It would not be fair to lay too much stress on a sigh. ” “ Is not Miss Glover wealthy?
umn.31951002332122y	Large reward if the matter ends successfully. ” “ May I ask who is speaking to me? ” “ Mrs.
umn.31951002332122y	Little Miss Lane shares it with her. ” “ And Dorothy? ” “ Oh, she is under the strictest bondage night and day.
umn.31951002332122y	Never any other colour that you remember? ” “ No; but I ’ve been in the house only ten years. ” “ Oh, is that all!
umn.31951002332122y	No ale?
umn.31951002332122y	Not that I am anxious for it. ” “ Jake?
umn.31951002332122y	Nothing o'that sort, eh?
umn.31951002332122y	Now what was the shock?
umn.31951002332122y	Now, Mr. Worthington, what am I to do with this knowledge?
umn.31951002332122y	Oh, if God would only have pity —! ” “ Or some one should succeed in finding Halloo, what's that? ” A shout had risen from the hall beyond.
umn.31951002332122y	Oh, sir, ” she moaned, catching at Mr. Hammer- smith's arm, “ am I then mad?
umn.31951002332122y	Oh, what now? ” The poor young thing, in trying to smile, had turned as white as a sheet.
umn.31951002332122y	Oh, why did I ever come to this dreadful place?
umn.31951002332122y	On her person or hidden in some of her belongings?
umn.31951002332122y	One of Salmon's four grandchildren, think'e?
umn.31951002332122y	Or a shoot from Eustace's gnarled old trunk?
umn.31951002332122y	Or is this a dream?
umn.31951002332122y	Or was another and more dreadful tragedy awaiting us?
umn.31951002332122y	Or was it a reflection from the setting sun?
umn.31951002332122y	Or was it some secret knowledge of her hus- band's fate, unknown to others?
umn.31951002332122y	Or — thought insupport- able!—had she secretly yielded to another what she had so long denied me, and?
umn.31951002332122y	Probably you can not even tell how the ladies took it? ” “ No, I never thought of looking.
umn.31951002332122y	Quimby, did Mrs. Demarest come to the house with Miss Demarest? ” inquired Mr. Ham- mersmith of the silent landlord.
umn.31951002332122y	Seek some other partner — do, to- night. ” “ You wish it? ” “ Very much. ” She was panting, eager.
umn.31951002332122y	Shall I assist you to put them on?
umn.31951002332122y	Shall I shut the door for you? ” he asked, with a mixture of bravado and good nature that frightened her more and more.
umn.31951002332122y	Shall I step into the drawing- room with you? ” He bowed, and as they disappeared from the great hall the hubbub of voices became tumultuous.
umn.31951002332122y	Shall we let the matter pass, then, as though it were of small importance?
umn.31951002332122y	She must have spoken the truth, but was it the entire truth?
umn.31951002332122y	She only roused a bit when Mr. Deane showed us the ruby, and said — Oh, I forgot! ” “ What's that?
umn.31951002332122y	She will be in the courtroom — on the witness stand??
umn.31951002332122y	She will be in the courtroom — on the witness stand??
umn.31951002332122y	Should I ask him if this was so?
umn.31951002332122y	Should I find Miss Lane there?
umn.31951002332122y	Should I send Hen- dricks or should I send Hicks?
umn.31951002332122y	Should I signal for my companions?
umn.31951002332122y	Surely Mr. Quimby was not there alone? ” She reseated herself before answering.
umn.31951002332122y	Th imposing figure might be that of a millionaire daughter; how, then, could I associate her, even my own mind, with theft?
umn.31951002332122y	That would be bad, eh?
umn.31951002332122y	The next point is, how are we to settle our doubts?
umn.31951002332122y	There are five, are n't there?
umn.31951002332122y	There was death in the house. ” “ Then you were in the house? ” “ Yes. ” His tongue faltered, but not his gaze; that was as direct as ever.
umn.31951002332122y	They are the only persons un- accounted for. ” “ Lost in the fire? ” “ We do n't think so.
umn.31951002332122y	This scene THE AMETHYST BOX 223 of seeming mirth and happy promise, or the fancies he had conjured up to rob us both of peace?
umn.31951002332122y	This was?
umn.31951002332122y	Through the bedroom door, then?
umn.31951002332122y	To one of the former I addressed the question: “ Where is the butler's pantry?
umn.31951002332122y	Was any one seen to approach Mr. Deane on the carriage- drive prior to his assertion that the jewel was lost? ” “ No.
umn.31951002332122y	Was her heart still cold, her affection unwon?
umn.31951002332122y	Was it a dream?
umn.31951002332122y	Was it be- cause of a fresh lull in the conversation about us?
umn.31951002332122y	Was it fire?
umn.31951002332122y	Was it hers?
umn.31951002332122y	Was it his duty to wait for this girl, possibly al- ready overcome by her fears and lying insensible?
umn.31951002332122y	Was she locked in, too?
umn.31951002332122y	Was she still in the conservatory?
umn.31951002332122y	Was that a window they heard flying up?
umn.31951002332122y	Was this a signal or a precaution?
umn.31951002332122y	Was this what we heard just before that scream went up?
umn.31951002332122y	Well, have you got it? ” he eagerly demanded, as the butler finally showed himself in the door.
umn.31951002332122y	Were his own feelings involved in this matter?
umn.31951002332122y	Were we not wasting strength and a great deal of emotion on a dread which had no foundation in fact?
umn.31951002332122y	What about Quimby? ” “ He ’s missing. ” “ And Mrs. Quimby? ” “ Missing, too.
umn.31951002332122y	What about Quimby? ” “ He ’s missing. ” “ And Mrs. Quimby? ” “ Missing, too.
umn.31951002332122y	What alternative remained?
umn.31951002332122y	What did it mean?
umn.31951002332122y	What did it mean?
umn.31951002332122y	What did it portend?
umn.31951002332122y	What has happened to them?
umn.31951002332122y	What has he every right to think?
umn.31951002332122y	What have you forgot? ” “ Your remark of a moment ago.
umn.31951002332122y	What is in it, and why were you so afraid of my seeing it? ” “ As she spoke she attempted to wrench out the stopper.
umn.31951002332122y	What is it now?)
umn.31951002332122y	What made you think he might still have the ruby? ” “ Oh, we police- officers think of everything.
umn.31951002332122y	What must he think?
umn.31951002332122y	What shall I do now?
umn.31951002332122y	What shall we say to them? ” queried Sedgwick, stepping slowly towards the intervening curtains.
umn.31951002332122y	What should there be a conspiracy about?
umn.31951002332122y	What troubles Miss Glover?
umn.31951002332122y	What turned Quimby against her?
umn.31951002332122y	What was I to say — what could I say, in response to such a declaration, following so imme- diately upon his warm assertion of her innocence?
umn.31951002332122y	What was the mat- ter?
umn.31951002332122y	What was to be done?
umn.31951002332122y	What would Quimby do?
umn.31951002332122y	What would be the result?
umn.31951002332122y	What's the plot? ” “ I do n't know of any plot.
umn.31951002332122y	What, then, could you expect from two poor girls entirely dependent upon her for everything they enjoyed?
umn.31951002332122y	When P Who saw her? ” “ I can not answer all these questions at once, ” I. said, smiling.
umn.31951002332122y	When was this? ” “ Yesterday afternoon at about six.
umn.31951002332122y	Where are our cloaks — our rubbers? ” Two only stood hesitating.
umn.31951002332122y	Where is Mr. Deane? ” she moaned, turning and staring at the door, as if she hoped they would fly to her aid.
umn.31951002332122y	Where is the candle? ” Quimby leaped forward and with shaking hand held the worn bit of candle to the flame.
umn.31951002332122y	Where was she hidden?
umn.31951002332122y	Where was she when her aunt died? ” Alas!
umn.31951002332122y	Where will you see him? ” “ In the butler's pantry at the rear.
umn.31951002332122y	Which was the dream?
umn.31951002332122y	Who are his witnesses?
umn.31951002332122y	Who could this some one be?
umn.31951002332122y	Who had uttered that dreadful shriek?
umn.31951002332122y	Who?
umn.31951002332122y	Why did they have to look for you?
umn.31951002332122y	Why did this sound, so easily to be accounted for, ring in my ears like a note of warning?
umn.31951002332122y	Why did you pretend to love me when you did n't? ” He gave her a look, then turned on his heel.
umn.31951002332122y	Why do you look at me with those incredulous eyes? ” “ Because you must not believe a lie.
umn.31951002332122y	Why had she let herself grow mad with terror when here, within reach of her hand, lay such a means of self- defence?
umn.31951002332122y	Why have your sus- picions returned to Gilbertine?
umn.31951002332122y	Why is this?
umn.31951002332122y	Why should I fear any surprise, prepared as I was for every emergency?
umn.31951002332122y	Why were they here again so early?
umn.31951002332122y	Why, then, did my brain whirl and my heart collapse?
umn.31951002332122y	Why, then, those bullets?
umn.31951002332122y	Will not that answer, without fur- ther conversation?
umn.31951002332122y	Will you see that she gets it? ” For reply I held out my hand.
umn.31951002332122y	With a deepening flush, she flashed Out: “ You had n't?
umn.31951002332122y	Withdraw?
umn.31951002332122y	Wo n't you believe me?
umn.31951002332122y	Would I go down to her?
umn.31951002332122y	Would a shout attract her?
umn.31951002332122y	Would he have to jump to the ground in his own despite?
umn.31951002332122y	Would her indignation hold out under the insinuat- ing smile with which the artful rascal awaited her words?
umn.31951002332122y	Would it come in the form of a bullet, or a deadly thrust from an unseen knife?
umn.31951002332122y	Would it ever come to pass that a harsh man of the law should feel it his duty to speak to my Flora as I must now speak to the young girl before me?
umn.31951002332122y	Would it not be better to say that her husband was upstairs?
umn.31951002332122y	Would she be found huddled but alive in some far- off chamber?
umn.31951002332122y	Would she see him and take cour- age?
umn.31951002332122y	Would you like to look through them?
umn.31951002332122y	Yes, a stir, a very faint stir somewhere down the hall — the slow, cautious opening of a door, then a footfall — or had I imagined the latter?
umn.31951002332122y	Yes, but should she acknowledge it?
umn.31951002332122y	Yes, the carriage was thoroughly overhauled before the coachman left the box. ” “ Who did this overhauling? ” “ My son.
umn.31951002332122y	Yet this scrap about which we have talked so much may have been the work of his hands; and even my husband's death??
umn.31951002332122y	Yet this scrap about which we have talked so much may have been the work of his hands; and even my husband's death??
umn.31951002332122y	Yet where could that ruby be, if not with this young I4O THE RUBY AND THE CALDRON girl?
umn.31951002332122y	Yet who knows?
umn.31951002332122y	Yet who knows?
umn.31951002332122y	Yet why should the old woman frown on me?
umn.31951002332122y	You and your babe are still alive; while they*, “ What of them?
umn.31951002332122y	You are breathless, trembling; you have brought no bread??
umn.31951002332122y	You are breathless, trembling; you have brought no bread??
umn.31951002332122y	You arrested him, of ROOM NUMBER 3 49 course, as soon as you could lay your hands on him? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002332122y	You ca n't mix me up with Quimby's doings. ” “ Ca n't we?
umn.31951002332122y	You call them dreadful? ” It was Doctor Golden who spoke.
umn.31951002332122y	You can rest quite easy, ma'am. ” “ ‘ What does he mean? ’ marvelled the poor woman as the janitor disappeared.
umn.31951002332122y	You did n't want me dead?
umn.31951002332122y	You have seen this paper covered with the pink scrolls before? ” The coroner had again drawn aside his coat from the bits of plaster.
umn.31951002332122y	You remember the Stevens case?
umn.31951002332122y	You've opened all the others; why do you pass that one by? ” “ Oh, that!
umn.31951002332122y	Your work in the house has been upstairs work, has n't it? ” “ Yes, sir.
umn.31951002332122y	how could he do that?
umn.31951002332122y	what now?
umn.31951002332122y	what was that?
umn.31951002332122y	what's this? ” he cried, as the other quickly approached.
umn.31951002332122y	where?
umn.31951002332122y	‘ Is he spending all this time ransacking the rooms?
umn.31951002332122y	“ A little bread, ” she entreated; “ a little milk — ah, baby, baby, hush! ” “ But where can I get it? ” I cried.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Always blue?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Am I mad or has the devil joined in the pursuit against me?
umn.31951002332122y	“ And do you think I care for that?
umn.31951002332122y	“ And so the young gentleman had not the cour- age to come again himself? ” he softly suggested, with just the suspicion of an ironical laugh.
umn.31951002332122y	“ And what is this young gentleman's name? ” he finally asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ And what? ” I encouragingly suggested, seeing that she was under some new and overwhelming emotion.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Another recollec- tion? ” “ Yes. ” She spoke so low I could hardly hear her.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Are you done? ” she asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ At what time did this fire start? ” he asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Be a good girl; I will not keep you here long. ” “ But why can not I go to my room?
umn.31951002332122y	“ But do n't you know? ” “ My impression is that her veil was down when we came into the room.
umn.31951002332122y	“ But how can you reach her?
umn.31951002332122y	“ But when I am in the cellar, what then? ” “ Follow the wall to the right; you will come to a stone staircase.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Certainly; did n't you recognise him? ” He gave me a very strange look.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Come where we shall run less risk of being dis- turbed. ” “ What's wrong? ” I asked, facing him with curiosity, if not with alarm.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Dead? ” echoed the now terrified Quimby.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Dead? ” repeated his no less agitated wife.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Did he say it was Miss Camerden? ” I hurriedly inquired, as he looked at me in some surprise.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Did n't it drop from your coat- pocket? ” in- quired the proprietor.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Do you know, missus, I shall have to stay here all night?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Do you see these bits from a papered wall? ” he asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Do you think so? ” she protested, with a depreca- tory look.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Do you want me to wash the dishes?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Does Miss Murray still cherish the ex- pectation of being married to- day?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Does Miss Murray wear white to- night? ” “ Yes, ” muttered Sinclair, coming hastily forward.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Fire, with a man like you in the house? ” “ Fire because I was in the house.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Good likeness, eh? ” laughed the seamy- faced man.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Has the gentleman any appointment here? ” he asked, letting his glance fall for the merest instant on the lapel of my coat.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Have you any instructions for me? ” he said.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Have you any suggestions to offer?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Have you looked in that little box since you took it from my hair? ” she asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Have you no friends? ” he asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ He coughed and??
umn.31951002332122y	“ He coughed and??
umn.31951002332122y	“ How is Miss Murray? ” I asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ How should he know Miss Camerden? ” “ He described her, ” was the unanswerable reply.
umn.31951002332122y	“ I do not see her here. ” “ Did you expect to?
umn.31951002332122y	“ I pick up? ” she murmured.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Implicitly. ” “ In what direction, then, do your suspicions turn? ” “ Alas!
umn.31951002332122y	“ Is it refuge you want? ” she demanded, sup- pressing as much as possible all signs of fear.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Is it?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Is n't there another hall?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Is there anything I can do to serve you? ” I asked, rising.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Is this your only book? ” he asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Jake, ai n't you got a match? ” appealed the voice of Quimby in half- choked accents.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Jake, can I believe you? ” she murmured.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Look! ” he shouted, “ do you see that black spot?
umn.31951002332122y	“ May n't I help him look?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Miss Murray? ” I suggested.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Money?
umn.31951002332122y	“ No beer?
umn.31951002332122y	“ No; why, what is that? ” “ It looks like a puzzle of some kind. ” “ Then it is of no consequence.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Now will you an- swer my former question?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Oh, Jake! ” she wailed out, “ why were n't you ROOM NUMBER 3 65 true to me?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Oh, what is the matter with me? ” she murmured to her- self as his steps died out in the distance.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Oh, where is Minnie?
umn.31951002332122y	“ On your own business? ” she queried, glancing with suspicion at my short coat, which was rather more showy than elegant.
umn.31951002332122y	“ One of the Witherspoon boys? ” queried one.
umn.31951002332122y	“ One of the women now in this house? ” He replied reluctantly: “ She was a young woman, and she wore a long cloak.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Only this: She was seen to pick up something from the driveway, where no one else had suc- ceeded in finding anything. ” “ She?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Or will it be enough if my wife accompanies her? ” “ We will all accompany her, ” said the coroner.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Remember that a word might raise suspicion, and that in a case like this Halloa, what's that? ” A gentle snore had come from behind the screen.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Shall we go up? ” he asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Susan! ” Was that Quimby speaking?
umn.31951002332122y	“ That was n't done for fun. ” “ And is that all you can tell us?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Then we must trick him into showing her his real feelings. ” t “ How would you set to work?
umn.31951002332122y	“ There is room below it for your name and that of your mother, but the space is blank, do you see? ” “ Yes, yes, I see, ” she admitted.
umn.31951002332122y	“ This dream- maiden was a woman? ” I inquired.
umn.31951002332122y	“ This? ” I inquired, lifting up a bit of coiled wire with two or three rings dangling from it.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Was it necessary to go hungry? ” “ Could I ask alms or borrow what I could not pay?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Was it necessary to go hungry? ” “ Could I ask alms or borrow what I could not pay?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Was it? ” shot from Doctor Golden's lips with all the vehemence of conscious authority.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Was n't it at the left of the large folding doors and midway to the wall? ” “ How came you to know? ” she asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Was n't it at the left of the large folding doors and midway to the wall? ” “ How came you to know? ” she asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Was that Beaton? ” he asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ We shall run less risk of finding the library occupied. ” “ Shall I not look and see where the girls are?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Well? ” she asked, anxious to break the thread of his thought, which was only too plainly mirrored in his eager countenance.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Were we not close enough to discovery, with- out drawing the attention of the police by such an 76 ROOM NUMBER 3 unnecessary murder?
umn.31951002332122y	“ What has happened? ” she gasped.
umn.31951002332122y	“ What is it now? ” I asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ What should I know about that man Quimby's dreadful doings? ” “ Dreadful?
umn.31951002332122y	“ What should I know about that man Quimby's dreadful doings? ” “ Dreadful?
umn.31951002332122y	“ What's this?
umn.31951002332122y	“ When was that?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where did you get it? ” he cried.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where is 32? ” he asked as he moved away from them in the opposite direction from the course they were taking.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where is Gilbertine? ” demanded Sinclair, thrusting his hand out as if to put her aside.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where is Quimby? ” he demanded loudly.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where was this vial found? ” she demanded.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where's the money? ” he hissed.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Where? ” I pointed toward that portion of the house where the ladies'rooms were situated.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Who saw these two come in? ” 78 ROOM NUMBER 3 Then it came out that no one but themselves had been present at their arrival.
umn.31951002332122y	“ Why do you ask that?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Why not wait till morning? ” “ And have the whole house about our ears?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Why not wait till morning? ” “ And have the whole house about our ears?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Why should a handsome devil like that be treated with any more consideration than another?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Will you dance the next waltz with me? ” I asked.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You can, of course, inform me where you procured this clipping which you say you brought into the house? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You had bought that? ” He smiled and returned it to his pocket.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You have been there?
umn.31951002332122y	“ You have n't heard what I ’ve said about that? ” 56 ROOM NUMBER 3 “ What could you say? ” “ Why, the truth, Huldah.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You have n't heard what I ’ve said about that? ” 56 ROOM NUMBER 3 “ What could you say? ” “ Why, the truth, Huldah.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You know me? ” he now unexpectedly snapped, bestowing another look over his shoulder at that oppressive figure in the chair.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You remember the vision I had the morning when I was sick? ” she whispered softly in my ear.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You saw Quimby, ” he repeated; “ saw his face distinctly looking toward your room from one of the stable windows? ” “ I can swear to it.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You want to hear the letter? ” old Smead called out.
umn.31951002332122y	“ You're asking a good deal, are n't you?
umn.31951002332122y	“ Your dressmaker's bill? ” I intimated.
umn.31951002332122y	“ ‘ Do n’t you mean to do something for him? ’ I asked.
umn.319510020851165	What does that mean?
umn.319510020851165	Will you take a seat, Mr. Felgrave?
umn.319510020851165	'Who's that lady, walking there the other side of the lane?' umn.319510020851165 'Whose work is this, and what does it mean?'
umn.319510020851165	A little more exercise, perhaps? umn.319510020851165 A sinister look?"
umn.319510020851165	Ah, he's got something from your office, has he?
umn.319510020851165	Ah, there's nothing like London, is there? umn.319510020851165 All the time — didn't go home for anything?"
umn.319510020851165	Am I to come back to Selchester? umn.319510020851165 And I suppose people go to see them now and then?
umn.319510020851165	And he was — who?
umn.319510020851165	And if it was n't?
umn.319510020851165	And if they are?
umn.319510020851165	And supposing your theory's all wrong?
umn.319510020851165	And that was Mrs. Byfield you pointed out just now, sir?
umn.319510020851165	And that's all you know of him?
umn.319510020851165	And what the devil's my name to you, I should like to know, and who the hell are you?
umn.319510020851165	And who is this with you? umn.319510020851165 And who the devil told you, Mr. whatever your name is?
umn.319510020851165	And, talking of neigh- 134 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE bours, do you think any of yours would be likely to see what you saw?
umn.319510020851165	Any news of Mr. Linthwaite, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Any news, inspector?
umn.319510020851165	Any news, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Any of'em any good?
umn.319510020851165	Any telegrams for me?
umn.319510020851165	Anything more you wish to tell me?
umn.319510020851165	Anything to do with Miss Byfield going off to London with the other two?
umn.319510020851165	Are you?
umn.319510020851165	Because, you see, I might have"Might have what?
umn.319510020851165	Been about here long?
umn.319510020851165	Bit dullish here for anybody like you, is n't it?
umn.319510020851165	Both?
umn.319510020851165	But has he got his? umn.319510020851165 But if Cradock Mel- some was alive, six months ago, in Quebec, she — she was n't free to marry Martin Byfield at all?"
umn.319510020851165	But when you were left like that, did your uncle do nothing for you?
umn.319510020851165	But who'll make him?
umn.319510020851165	But would n't you have — have — loved me if I'd been rich?
umn.319510020851165	But you said Martin and his brother died about the same time?
umn.319510020851165	But you're the caretaker, I suppose?
umn.319510020851165	But, I say, supposing Mesham does n't care a two- penny damn for Sel- chester, its society, and its opinions?
umn.319510020851165	But, as you have, what the devil is it all about?
umn.319510020851165	By whose order?
umn.319510020851165	Ca n't you remember?
umn.319510020851165	Came there all that time, regularly, and yet you do n't know his name?
umn.319510020851165	Can you give me ten minutes?
umn.319510020851165	Can you remember what you were doing with yourself last Tuesday and Wednesday evenings?
umn.319510020851165	Coming back again some time?
umn.319510020851165	Crabbe?
umn.319510020851165	Did Martin leave any children?
umn.319510020851165	Did n't you re- ceive my wire last week? umn.319510020851165 Did the driver of the cab ring the bell, or any- thing of that sort?"
umn.319510020851165	Did they catch a train there, then?
umn.319510020851165	Did you happen to hear Mr. Mesham address the other man by name?
umn.319510020851165	Did you meet Mr. Linthwaite somewhere at two- thirty that day?
umn.319510020851165	Did you never see anything in the shape of a receipt?
umn.319510020851165	Do I know my own face?
umn.319510020851165	Do n't know how old it is, but it's done well in its time, what? umn.319510020851165 Do you know if Letwige called to see your mother on business at all during the last few days?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you know what I think, Gaffkin?
umn.319510020851165	Do you know where the friend went?
umn.319510020851165	Do you mean to say she does n't know?
umn.319510020851165	Do you really want to?
umn.319510020851165	Do you remember what Wetherby, Martin Byfield's old servant, told me about the marriage abroad — at Monaco? umn.319510020851165 Do you think I shall have any chance of getting anything out of that reward, sir?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you think I want to read a damned rag like that? umn.319510020851165 Do you think the gaolers would allow lights?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you wish to see the museum, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Does Mrs. By- field commonly use a typewriter?'' umn.319510020851165 Eh?"
umn.319510020851165	Eh?
umn.319510020851165	Fact?
umn.319510020851165	Forgery?
umn.319510020851165	Found something out?
umn.319510020851165	From Stillwick's garage, you say?
umn.319510020851165	Gaffkin,said Brixey drily,"you hear what Mr. Crabbe says?
umn.319510020851165	Gave him a — a — what's that word, now?'' umn.319510020851165 Go home?
umn.319510020851165	Going to inquire about passages to — where?
umn.319510020851165	Got any more luggage?
umn.319510020851165	Got one to sell?
umn.319510020851165	Has he mentioned the name of one Charles Mel- some yet?
umn.319510020851165	Has that come out?
umn.319510020851165	Has that surprised him?
umn.319510020851165	Have you heard any news about your own business?
umn.319510020851165	Have you seen anything of Mr. Linthwaite? umn.319510020851165 Have you?"
umn.319510020851165	Have you?
umn.319510020851165	He said that definitely, did he?
umn.319510020851165	He was n't a Selchester man, then, originally?
umn.319510020851165	He'd nothing to do with the Byfield affairs, had he?
umn.319510020851165	His own cheque?
umn.319510020851165	How are you?
umn.319510020851165	How can we raise it?
umn.319510020851165	How do we know that your uncle did n't go away, suddenly, on Tuesday on some secret business? umn.319510020851165 How do you know what business Linthwaite had with me, or, if we're to mention names, with Mrs. Byfield?
umn.319510020851165	How does it all seem to you?
umn.319510020851165	How many of them are in at it? umn.319510020851165 How on earth does this poor gentleman come to be there?"
umn.319510020851165	How would that help me to find my uncle?
umn.319510020851165	How, then?
umn.319510020851165	How?
umn.319510020851165	I never smoke cigars Where was I?
umn.319510020851165	I strolled up to Lee's on purpose to look at him the other night, and I soon got a proof of his value?
umn.319510020851165	I suppose there was a good deal that was valu- able in the box?
umn.319510020851165	I supposed you'd know the stranger if you saw him?
umn.319510020851165	I wonder if you can tell me something?
umn.319510020851165	In other words, sir,said Brackett,"you want to know this: Who is or who was Mrs. Byfield?
umn.319510020851165	In there?
umn.319510020851165	Inspector Crabbe, for instance? umn.319510020851165 Is it?"
umn.319510020851165	Is this affair in the hands of the police?
umn.319510020851165	It's you that's looking for the disappeared gentle- man, is n't it?
umn.319510020851165	Keep this to yourself — you understand?
umn.319510020851165	Like a cup of tea or coffee before you go out, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Like to see it?
umn.319510020851165	Listen, I want to know particularly — is that the- ory of Gaffkin's, which we put before you on Sunday, right? umn.319510020851165 Man's voice or woman's?"
umn.319510020851165	Melsome, sir, Melsome?
umn.319510020851165	Mr. Brixey, I suppose?
umn.319510020851165	Mr. Brixey, I think?
umn.319510020851165	Mr. Brixey, miss? umn.319510020851165 Mr. Fanshawe Byfield, I presume?"
umn.319510020851165	Mrs. Byfield and Fanshawe gone to London —* for a few days?
umn.319510020851165	My clerk, Letwige, fetched that box this afternoon?'' umn.319510020851165 My securities?"
umn.319510020851165	News?
umn.319510020851165	No mistake?
umn.319510020851165	No?
umn.319510020851165	No?
umn.319510020851165	Now Mr. Willett and Mr. Archington, they're the sort that sits quiet, and smokes its pipe or cigar, and takes all in, and gives little out — eh? umn.319510020851165 Now — what happened?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, had your uncle much money on him?
umn.319510020851165	Now, then, how about finding if the birds are in it?
umn.319510020851165	Now, then, you are Mrs. Letwige, are n't you?
umn.319510020851165	Now, what's the meaning of this?
umn.319510020851165	Now, why do you think so?
umn.319510020851165	Now,he concluded, after summarizing what Mr. Felgrave and the tinker had told,"what do you say to that, Mr. Mesham?
umn.319510020851165	Oh?
umn.319510020851165	Old men are apt to be a bit talkative, are n't they?
umn.319510020851165	On her heels, in fact?
umn.319510020851165	One of these van people?
umn.319510020851165	Police know?
umn.319510020851165	Pretty notice, is n't it?
umn.319510020851165	Quite a stranger, I suppose?
umn.319510020851165	See you later, eh?
umn.319510020851165	Seemed to be run- ning away, you thought?
umn.319510020851165	Seems a rather blunt way of putting things,he said presently,"but you'd have been in a bad way if it had n't been for old Brackett, would n't you?"
umn.319510020851165	Seen anything of the police round this quarter?
umn.319510020851165	So that you and I could see a bit more of each other, eh?
umn.319510020851165	So there's a secret — and you know all its de- tails, I suppose?
umn.319510020851165	So you never had any conversation with him in the last stages?
umn.319510020851165	So you're still here?
umn.319510020851165	Some mystery about it?
umn.319510020851165	Something out of the common?
umn.319510020851165	Something really pertinent?
umn.319510020851165	Something, I suppose, hangs on that?
umn.319510020851165	Somewhat mixed, is n't he?
umn.319510020851165	Still of the opinion that some of these people murdered my uncle?
umn.319510020851165	Tell Crabbe that?
umn.319510020851165	That means — what?
umn.319510020851165	That means,said Brixey, slowly and thought- fully,'that we should have to tell her all about it?"
umn.319510020851165	That was Tuesday morning?
umn.319510020851165	That's about it?
umn.319510020851165	That's my uncle's name? umn.319510020851165 That's no great incentive to — shall we say murder?"
umn.319510020851165	That's —-what?
umn.319510020851165	The Mr. Brixey whose name is on the posters? umn.319510020851165 The one I've seen?"
umn.319510020851165	The truth is, Mr. Semmerby,remarked Brixey,"nobody knows who the man is?"
umn.319510020851165	Then where is it?
umn.319510020851165	Then you can remember, since it's only forty- eight hours since he was here, what this chap was like?
umn.319510020851165	Then you have been locked up, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Then you think — what?
umn.319510020851165	There is n't anything you think that could be taken as a libel, sir? umn.319510020851165 There's a suggestion in it — that they did meet, and that — Al?"
umn.319510020851165	They entered the taxicab?
umn.319510020851165	Those Lees, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Town and district, I suppose, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Up North Street? umn.319510020851165 Urn — I hope Gaffkin was careful in looking through my papers?''
umn.319510020851165	Want to say anything?
umn.319510020851165	Was it a mutual secret? umn.319510020851165 Was n't Mr. Brackett alarmed when Mr. Lin- thwaite did n't return on Tuesday night?"
umn.319510020851165	We just want you to tell us if you know a man who's known here as Mr. Mesham? umn.319510020851165 Well?"

umn.319510020851165	Well?
umn.319510020851165	Well?
umn.319510020851165	Well?
umn.319510020851165	Were people surprised to find that Martin Byfield died intestate?
umn.319510020851165	Wetherby let it out, too, that they were married, WHO WAS MRS. BYFIELD? umn.319510020851165 What I'm wondering about is who he is, and,"he added quickly,"another thing that may be pertinent — where does he get his money?"
umn.319510020851165	What about lights at night in these rooms, or in one of them?
umn.319510020851165	What about this old gentleman's strange disappearance from the Mitre? umn.319510020851165 What are you going to do?"
umn.319510020851165	What are you going to do?
umn.319510020851165	What can I do for you?

umn.319510020851165	What do you want?
umn.319510020851165	What does Mr. Brixey think?
umn.319510020851165	What does he mean? umn.319510020851165 What does this precious husband of hera want with her?''
umn.319510020851165	What is it? umn.319510020851165 What is it?"

umn.319510020851165	What now?
umn.319510020851165	What on earth have you got to do with it? umn.319510020851165 What on earth is all this about?"
umn.319510020851165	What the devil do you fellows mean by forcing your way into my mother's house? umn.319510020851165 What was I to do?"
umn.319510020851165	What was that?
umn.319510020851165	What were you doing there?'' umn.319510020851165 What will Mesham say to that?

umn.319510020851165	What's happened?
umn.319510020851165	What's possible?

umn.319510020851165	What's the game?
umn.319510020851165	What's this one?
umn.319510020851165	What's this woman mean by rushing up to town with these two, leaving them here, and going off again? umn.319510020851165 What's this?"

umn.319510020851165	What?

umn.319510020851165	When?
umn.319510020851165	Where does he live?

umn.319510020851165	Who brought this message?
umn.319510020851165	Who does n't know him — in our town, anyway?

umn.319510020851165	Who?
umn.319510020851165	Why did he use it?
umn.319510020851165	Why should I?
umn.319510020851165	Why should he have gone to Ledfield Junction when he could have gone from Selchester?
umn.319510020851165	Why? umn.319510020851165 Why?"
umn.319510020851165	Will you send up to Mr. Fanshawe Byfield's room?
umn.319510020851165	Wo n't you take a chair?
umn.319510020851165	Would n't that attract attention?
umn.319510020851165	Would you really like to?
umn.319510020851165	Yes, dear boy,he said,"and then what?"
umn.319510020851165	Yes?
umn.319510020851165	Yes?
umn.319510020851165	Yes?
umn.319510020851165	You did n't happen to let him use your mother's typewriter for a few minutes, did you?
umn.319510020851165	You did n't know the man?
umn.319510020851165	You did n't see any meeting between him and the other two?
umn.319510020851165	You do n't care for old things, I see?
umn.319510020851165	You do n't deny what Mr. Felgrave says, nor what Clark says?'' umn.319510020851165 You do n't know anything that would help you to the reward I offered?"
umn.319510020851165	You do n't look into things any further than that?
umn.319510020851165	You do n't make any charges against them?
umn.319510020851165	You do n't think, after all, that there may be 142 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE a perfectly reasonable explanation of this?
umn.319510020851165	You got my telegram?
umn.319510020851165	You here? umn.319510020851165 You know?"
umn.319510020851165	You never were mar- ried to Cradock? umn.319510020851165 You saw them off?"
umn.319510020851165	You say you saw him last week?
umn.319510020851165	You the boots?
umn.319510020851165	You think he's the man who was seen in company with Mesham here last week?
umn.319510020851165	You think there were secrets?
umn.319510020851165	You think there's some mystery about her which may be connected with your uncle's disappearance?
umn.319510020851165	You wish to speak to me, ma'am?
umn.319510020851165	You wo n't tell?
umn.319510020851165	You'd like to go there?
umn.319510020851165	You'll come there and identify Letwige and tell what you know?
umn.319510020851165	You're sure this is the same man?
umn.319510020851165	You've grounds for this supposition?
umn.319510020851165	You've had no news of your uncle's where- abouts?
umn.319510020851165	You've some idea in your mind?
umn.319510020851165	You, yourself?
umn.319510020851165	You?
umn.319510020851165	Your doing?
umn.319510020851165	Your uncle?
umn.319510020851165	Yourn, guvnor?"
umn.319510020851165	''Have you no further theories in the light of what I've told you?"
umn.319510020851165	''Melsome — Melsome?''
umn.319510020851165	''Perhaps you did n't notice at the side of her house, back of the garden, there's a little street — Friargate — that runs into the town?"
umn.319510020851165	'And how long since is that, ma'am?'
umn.319510020851165	'Aye?'
umn.319510020851165	'Does Mrs. Byfield know that Cradock is alive?'
umn.319510020851165	'Has she any family?'
umn.319510020851165	'It's something, I suppose, that's known to you two?'
umn.319510020851165	'What are they?'
umn.319510020851165	1'Kit Mesham?
umn.319510020851165	131 like it to get to her ears that I've told anything that has to do with her affairs, you understand?"
umn.319510020851165	133 Mrs. Byfield, for instance, or Mr. Fanshawe By- field?"
umn.319510020851165	208 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE 9.41 this morning?"
umn.319510020851165	230 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE"So you are really here?"
umn.319510020851165	28 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE"Which way did he go when he left your house?"
umn.319510020851165	296 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE''Power of attorney — to Letwige?"
umn.319510020851165	36 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE"You say this man comes from Mardene every morning to work in Selchester?"
umn.319510020851165	4* What was it?"
umn.319510020851165	68 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE"Where did you come across him tonight?'"
umn.319510020851165	A SIDE- TRACK SUGGESTION 97"You do n't care anything about my personal anxiety?"
umn.319510020851165	And I do a good deal for Mrs. Byfield, plain things for her, and gowns for her servants, and I should n't 130 WHO WAS HE?
umn.319510020851165	And after he had gone, Brixey felt that all he had heard WHO WAS HE?
umn.319510020851165	And has Mr. Brackett made no inquiries?''
umn.319510020851165	And how am I to find him?"
umn.319510020851165	And how did you hear of me?"
umn.319510020851165	And is this squinting person a principal, or an agent — a cat's- paw?
umn.319510020851165	And it seems to me that the thing to find out is: Is there any person here in this town who had reasons — weighty reasons — for silenc- ing him?"
umn.319510020851165	And seeing they were alone, he added,"Mr. Brackett tells me you can perhaps give me a bit of information?"
umn.319510020851165	And so, when he saw them being removed — eh?"
umn.319510020851165	And soon?"
umn.319510020851165	And talk- ing of business, you know that clerk of mine, Letwige?''
umn.319510020851165	And the men?"
umn.319510020851165	And what are they after?
umn.319510020851165	And what happened then?"
umn.319510020851165	And what's it all about?"
umn.319510020851165	And where is he?"
umn.319510020851165	And who was there to discover it — for a long time?
umn.319510020851165	And you do n't want me to call in those two outside?
umn.319510020851165	And — what?''
umn.319510020851165	Any news, Inspector?"
umn.319510020851165	Any relation?"
umn.319510020851165	Anyway, a strange gentleman — elderly — dropped in there for a few minutes, and""Where is this place?"
umn.319510020851165	Archington?'
umn.319510020851165	Are there reasons why Mrs. Byfield should wish it not to be known that she did see him?"
umn.319510020851165	Are you a yearly subscriber to those grounds?
umn.319510020851165	Are you going to marry me?
umn.319510020851165	As Mr. Gaffkin tells me that you were familiar with my uncle's appearance, and as you evidently live in Sel- chester, may I ask you a question?
umn.319510020851165	At the same time, if it's anything that will lead to my finding Mr. Linthwaite, you would n't object to com- ing forward if necessary?"
umn.319510020851165	BY WORD OF MOUTH 11"Can I see Mr. Richard Brixey?"
umn.319510020851165	Brackett?"
umn.319510020851165	Brixey grew more puzzled before he had been WHO WAS HE?
umn.319510020851165	Brixey?"
umn.319510020851165	Brixey?"
umn.319510020851165	Brixey?"
umn.319510020851165	But I ca n't under- stand what it all means?
umn.319510020851165	But I say, look here, do n't you think it was a very queer thing that Martin Byfield died without leaving a will?"
umn.319510020851165	But I suppose most of your investigations about this gentleman who's missing are under the rose, eh?"
umn.319510020851165	But I'm quite sure you've already got a theory?''
umn.319510020851165	But ca n't you give me an inkling?"
umn.319510020851165	But have you any news of this poor gentleman?"
umn.319510020851165	But what does it all mean?"
umn.319510020851165	But what's he got?"
umn.319510020851165	But whose money?
umn.319510020851165	But""But what?"
umn.319510020851165	But""Well?"
umn.319510020851165	But, if so, why this extraordinary secrecy of movement T And, beyond that, why the throwing away of hat and umbrella in Foxglove Lane?
umn.319510020851165	By the by, do you know anything about that taking young woman, the caretaker's daughter?"
umn.319510020851165	Byfield Told?
umn.319510020851165	Byfield?"
umn.319510020851165	Byfield?"
umn.319510020851165	Byfield?'
umn.319510020851165	CHAPTER XVI WHO WAS HE?
umn.319510020851165	Ca n't you sug- gest some means of giving him infinite worry and an- noyance, Gaffkin, without our breaking the law?
umn.319510020851165	Can you get men?"
umn.319510020851165	Can you recognize them?"
umn.319510020851165	Come and see'em?"
umn.319510020851165	Come now — who was it?"
umn.319510020851165	Coming?"
umn.319510020851165	Crosse?"
umn.319510020851165	DID THEY MEET?"
umn.319510020851165	Did Mr. Linthwaite already know it?
umn.319510020851165	Did it come to the surface, just when it was not wanted, when the three met in the old ruins that morning?
umn.319510020851165	Did or does she have relations, friends, to visit her?
umn.319510020851165	Did you chance to see him?"
umn.319510020851165	Did you ever study the natural history of fallacies, Inspector?
umn.319510020851165	Did you find him?"
umn.319510020851165	Did you never see, or meet, your uncle Martin in his last days, never go to his house or anything of that sort?"
umn.319510020851165	Do n't you believe it?"
umn.319510020851165	Do people go across to it?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you happen to know that, Mr. Brackett — or you, Miss Byfield?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you know if Mesham knew Mrs. Byfield before he came to Selchester?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you mean to say that it's a place in which it's possible to imprison anybody in that way?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you think he was going to let his chance slip?
umn.319510020851165	Do you think he's a finger in the pie?"
umn.319510020851165	Do you think that possible?
umn.319510020851165	Do you think you can come bullying people like this?
umn.319510020851165	Do you?"
umn.319510020851165	Does n't it seem as if he might be the real culprit in all this — he and perhaps others?"
umn.319510020851165	Does that Byfield property really belong to you?"
umn.319510020851165	Eh?"
umn.319510020851165	For instance, had you noticed him here in Selchester during the pre- vious two or three days?"
umn.319510020851165	Had Mr. Lin- thwaite's disappearance anything to do with these two matters?
umn.319510020851165	Had he any chance of seeing your mother after you left him?"
umn.319510020851165	Had that any relation to the Linthwaite mystery?
umn.319510020851165	Had that fact any relation to his disappearance?
umn.319510020851165	Had you seen this gentleman before?
umn.319510020851165	Has he — has he been doing something?''
umn.319510020851165	Has this Mrs. Byfield any people of her own?
umn.319510020851165	Have n't I heard all about it from Crabbe?
umn.319510020851165	Have you any of them?'
umn.319510020851165	Have you ever given that man Letwige a power of attorney to deal with your affairs and property?
umn.319510020851165	Have you the Byfield box of securities and papers safe?
umn.319510020851165	He paid you for it?"
umn.319510020851165	Herbert?"
umn.319510020851165	Here Brixey spent the better part of an hour, WHAT HAD MRS. BYFIELD TOLD?
umn.319510020851165	Hopkinson?"
umn.319510020851165	How did that person know that he, Brixey, had arranged to meet Mr. Linthwaite at"Winchester last Friday morning?
umn.319510020851165	How do you feel about it?"
umn.319510020851165	How does it strike you?"
umn.319510020851165	How is it he never saw'em be- fore?"
umn.319510020851165	How is it nobody saw him on Tuesday morning?
umn.319510020851165	I believe he went CHAPTER V WHO WAS MRS. BYFIELD?
umn.319510020851165	I daresay you've noticed their places in the town?"
umn.319510020851165	I daresay""To what extent were you going?"
umn.319510020851165	I fear your arrangements have been upset, eh?
umn.319510020851165	I gather from what your waitress says that he was a stranger here?"
umn.319510020851165	I hope you've some news of him by now, Mr. Brixey?''
umn.319510020851165	I propose to start on to that game right here and now, so if you've heard anything — eh?"
umn.319510020851165	I say, come and see my mother, will you?
umn.319510020851165	I see you are smoking — perhaps I may light my pipe?
umn.319510020851165	I suppose you've brought me some news?"
umn.319510020851165	I then asked him a most pertinent question—'How did Byfield leave his money?'
umn.319510020851165	I think we will defer explanations until Shall we adjourn to the Mitre?
umn.319510020851165	I — I hope you're no worse, sir?"
umn.319510020851165	I — ah — one of these gentlemen is Mr. Brixey, I presume — the Mr. Brixey whose name appears at the foot of the poster?"
umn.319510020851165	In short, Mrs. Byfield, you consented to be black- mailed, eh?"
umn.319510020851165	In the meantime, can you tell me of a printer — a man who can do work quickly?"
umn.319510020851165	Is n't it your market- day?"
umn.319510020851165	Is n't that queer?''
umn.319510020851165	Is that a fact?''
umn.319510020851165	Is the Mitre far away?"
umn.319510020851165	Is there anything to see?"
umn.319510020851165	Is — is he ill?"
umn.319510020851165	Just so, and you thought she might have been one of Mr. Linthwaite's old clients?
umn.319510020851165	Look, have you ever THE LILAC PRINT GOWN 57 seen that woman there — the tall, handsome woman — in his office?
umn.319510020851165	MAROONED 233"Mesham?"
umn.319510020851165	Marrows?"
umn.319510020851165	Mesham?"
umn.319510020851165	Mesham?"
umn.319510020851165	Moreover, what about the hat and umbrella found in Foxglove Lane?"
umn.319510020851165	Mr. Lin- thwaite's nephew, I understand, sir?
umn.319510020851165	Mr. Linthwaite a relation, sir, if I may ask?"
umn.319510020851165	Mr. Mesham in?"
umn.319510020851165	My own opinion at present is that it's quite possible Mrs. Byfield was a former WHO WAS MRS. BYFIELD?
umn.319510020851165	No?
umn.319510020851165	Nothing been heard, Mr. Brixey — nothing at all?"
umn.319510020851165	Nothing wrong, I hope?''
umn.319510020851165	Now, can you think of anything more awful than the spectacle of a wife with, say, a hundred thousand pounds, and a husband with five pounds a week?
umn.319510020851165	Now, did you meet my uncle?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, first, do you know why Mrs. Byfield and her son have gone to London?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, supposing all this business has something to do with that?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, then — how to get to him?
umn.319510020851165	Now, then — why?
umn.319510020851165	Now, then, what do you think of that for a demonstration in force?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, what can you tell?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, where's this place where the man is?"
umn.319510020851165	Now, you see where this path leads into a lane — Foxglove Lane — leading to the open Downs?
umn.319510020851165	Now, you've got the.^gentleman's nephew at your place, have n't you?'
umn.319510020851165	Of course, you know much more?"
umn.319510020851165	Or did he only become acquainted with it at that meeting?
umn.319510020851165	Or, rather, what on earth has it got to do with you?
umn.319510020851165	Perhaps the inspector will accompany us?
umn.319510020851165	Peter, I'm sorry to say, lived on his capital, and, to tell the plain truth, WHO WAS MRS. BYFIELD?
umn.319510020851165	Possible, I mean, that a man could be locked up there for several days without it leaking out?
umn.319510020851165	Pub- licity, eh, sir — you believe in it?"
umn.319510020851165	Rescued?
umn.319510020851165	Same again?"
umn.319510020851165	See that?
umn.319510020851165	See?"
umn.319510020851165	See?''
umn.319510020851165	See?''
umn.319510020851165	Seems odd, eh?"
umn.319510020851165	Seen him?"
umn.319510020851165	Semmerby?"
umn.319510020851165	She started as the three entered the room, and CHAPTER XXII WHAT HAD MRS. BYFIELD TOLD?
umn.319510020851165	So how had that person obtained Brixey's private address?
umn.319510020851165	So what is it?"
umn.319510020851165	So you're his nephew?
umn.319510020851165	So, what did it all mean?
umn.319510020851165	Sunderland?"
umn.319510020851165	Supposing you were dis- covered to be a rich heiress?
umn.319510020851165	THE BANK CONFIRMS 209"You do n't think you're running into danger?"
umn.319510020851165	THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE tion from the windows, could n't shout to those below?"
umn.319510020851165	THE SUGGESTED SECRET 269"You have n't any idea what she came up for?"
umn.319510020851165	THE WHITE FACE 27"Well?"
umn.319510020851165	Tell me?
umn.319510020851165	That so?"
umn.319510020851165	That's close by, is n't it?
umn.319510020851165	That's just what you want, is n't it?"
umn.319510020851165	The garden was a square, set in high 178 WHAT HAD MRS. BYFIELD TOLD?
umn.319510020851165	The landlady, Mrs. Crosse, had no doubt that he recognized her?"
umn.319510020851165	The thing now is, where did Mr. Lin- thwaite go at half- past two?
umn.319510020851165	Then you wo n't go out there with us?"
umn.319510020851165	Then — do you know who she is — which really means who she was?"
umn.319510020851165	Then, you've had no tea?
umn.319510020851165	Think so?"
umn.319510020851165	This 288 THE LOST MR. LINTHWAITE"About the brother, now?"
umn.319510020851165	This is not — not accidental?"
umn.319510020851165	This poster that's been got out, now — can you give me any news about Mr. Linthwaite, sir?"
umn.319510020851165	Tuesday last — Wednesday last?"
umn.319510020851165	Until their coup comes off, do n't you see?
umn.319510020851165	WHO WAS HE?
umn.319510020851165	Want to see somebody?''
umn.319510020851165	Was it possible that Mr. Linthwaite was lying dead, too, somewhere among these ruins?
umn.319510020851165	Was it possible that the evidently sudden and hurried de- parture of the Lees and the squint- eyed man had brought about some tragedy?
umn.319510020851165	Was it the secret of one only?
umn.319510020851165	Was that his uncle whom Mrs. Iddison had seen with Mesham?
umn.319510020851165	Well, was he alone?''
umn.319510020851165	Well, where did you drive them?''
umn.319510020851165	Were n't you told that she was n't at home?
umn.319510020851165	What did he know?
umn.319510020851165	What do you know about him?
umn.319510020851165	What do you mean by threatening her with the police?
umn.319510020851165	What do you say if I finish it up at Sel- chester?
umn.319510020851165	What do you think's likely to happen?"
umn.319510020851165	What has hap- pened?"
umn.319510020851165	What has she told?
umn.319510020851165	What is it?"
umn.319510020851165	What is this island?
umn.319510020851165	What of her?''
umn.319510020851165	What secret of theirs, or of hers, does he discover?
umn.319510020851165	What was an address like that doing in Debbie Lee's purse, there in Selchester?
umn.319510020851165	What's it all got to do with his sudden removal from the scene?
umn.319510020851165	When did my uncle, John Linthwaite, know her?
umn.319510020851165	Where does this Mrs. Byfield live?"
umn.319510020851165	Where have you been?''
umn.319510020851165	Where's she gone?
umn.319510020851165	Where's she gone?"
umn.319510020851165	Which end of it are you going to lay hands on first?"
umn.319510020851165	Who was Mrs. Byfield?
umn.319510020851165	Who'd have taken any particular notice of an elderly gentleman?"
umn.319510020851165	Who's at the bottom of it?
umn.319510020851165	Whose money?"
umn.319510020851165	Why was Tuesday or"Wednesday in the coming week mentioned as a probable date for Mr. Linthwaite to communicate again with his nephew?
umn.319510020851165	Why, then, this extraordinary disappearance?
umn.319510020851165	Working up a nice bit of copy out of this affair, are n't they?"
umn.319510020851165	Yes, but is it — shall we be absolutely private?''
umn.319510020851165	Yes, miss?"
umn.319510020851165	You are certain about these nights?
umn.319510020851165	You came into my room at the Sentinel, did n't you?"
umn.319510020851165	You can manage without him?"
umn.319510020851165	You did?
umn.319510020851165	You do n't remember seeing an elderly gentleman?"
umn.319510020851165	You do n't want to buy a really good dog, do you?"
umn.319510020851165	You have n't heard anything as to your uncle's where- abouts?"
umn.319510020851165	You have n't told all this to any one else?"
umn.319510020851165	You heard noth- ing of him in Selchester?"
umn.319510020851165	You understand?"
umn.319510020851165	You want me to stop here?"
umn.319510020851165	You want me?
umn.319510020851165	You'll be a good boy and do exactly what she wants, wo n't you?"
umn.319510020851165	You'll know, I sup- pose, where she lives — in the Minories?"
umn.319510020851165	You're sure all's safe?"
umn.319510020851165	You've heard of that, I suppose?"
umn.319510020851165	You've never been in it before?"
umn.319510020851165	Your notion, of course, is to force Mesham's hand?"
umn.319510020851165	he said solemnly,"you know that you sent me down to that safe deposit place this morning, acting on instructions from the mater?
umn.319510020851165	she exclaimed, and Brixey knew that the exclamation was meant for none but himself,"I — must I take it?"
umn.319510020851165	who knows Mrs. Byfield's address there?"
uva.x000235052	'To what?' uva.x000235052 'Will you take that back?'
uva.x000235052	A friend?
uva.x000235052	Against these three things it is very hard work to bring off — shall I say a coup?
uva.x000235052	Althing gone wrong with the wireless?
uva.x000235052	Am I still suspect?
uva.x000235052	Am I the most precious thing on this steamer?
uva.x000235052	America would n't provide you with many oppor- tunities, would it?
uva.x000235052	And Doctor Gant?
uva.x000235052	And afterwards?
uva.x000235052	And in such a state he chooses to make a perilous voyage like this?
uva.x000235052	And notwithstanding all this,was the some- what grave criticism,"you have not the slightest idea where these documents are to be found?"
uva.x000235052	And now?
uva.x000235052	And that?
uva.x000235052	And their rooms have been searched?
uva.x000235052	And what on earth were you doing about on deck?
uva.x000235052	And where are they now?
uva.x000235052	And who is that?
uva.x000235052	And why do you single him out?
uva.x000235052	And why?
uva.x000235052	And yet the terror remains?
uva.x000235052	And you think you are going to break his rec- ord?
uva.x000235052	And you wo n't take me any further into your confidence?
uva.x000235052	And your reasons, Mr. Crawshay?
uva.x000235052	And — and Mr. Jocelyn Thew?
uva.x000235052	Any news?
uva.x000235052	Any one else coming?
uva.x000235052	Any- thing wrong?
uva.x000235052	Anything else?
uva.x000235052	Anything else?
uva.x000235052	Anything fresh?
uva.x000235052	Are n't you going with your friend?
uva.x000235052	Are these Mr. Crawshay's rooms?
uva.x000235052	Are you a spy?
uva.x000235052	Are you crazy?
uva.x000235052	Are you homesick for what lies beneath those clouds?
uva.x000235052	Are you in a hurry?
uva.x000235052	Are you sufficiently awake to listen to a few words from me on a subject of importance, Mr. Thew?
uva.x000235052	Are you sure that he wants to see me?
uva.x000235052	Are you taking one of your health constitution- als, Mr. Crawshay?
uva.x000235052	Are you wanting me, Doctor Gant?
uva.x000235052	At three o'clock in the morning?
uva.x000235052	Attempted?
uva.x000235052	Brightman there?
uva.x000235052	But have you two been seeing anything of one another, then? uva.x000235052 But surely,"he protested,"you have paid your debt, whatever it was?"
uva.x000235052	But the main part of the plot?
uva.x000235052	But what do you mean by outcasts?
uva.x000235052	But what the — what in thunder does it all THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS 153 pendicitis — your patient, Miss Beverley, who died during the voyage?
uva.x000235052	But why not?
uva.x000235052	But why should I not make my own choice?
uva.x000235052	But why?
uva.x000235052	But you brought it off, did n't you?
uva.x000235052	By- the- by, Captain,he asked,"now that the shipping is so reduced, do you alter speed for fog?"
uva.x000235052	By- the- by, Mr. Joyce, I hope you got my note?
uva.x000235052	By- the- by, there was n't much you could tell him about your patient, was there?
uva.x000235052	Ca n't you hear a hooter?
uva.x000235052	Ca n't you see that we're all in a fever about this business?
uva.x000235052	Can I come with you?
uva.x000235052	Can one what?
uva.x000235052	Daughter of old Joe Beverley, the multi- million- aire?
uva.x000235052	Did he make any trouble?
uva.x000235052	Did n't you read them? uva.x000235052 Do I know you, sir?"
uva.x000235052	Do n't know where he's tucked them away, eh?
uva.x000235052	Do n't you like us, then?
uva.x000235052	Do we alter our speed, eh?
uva.x000235052	Do you come from the hospital?
uva.x000235052	Do you know him?
uva.x000235052	Do you know where that was?
uva.x000235052	Do you mean while you were out?
uva.x000235052	Do you mind telling me what this is, Miss Bever- ley?
uva.x000235052	Do you need to be warned against me?
uva.x000235052	Do you remember your English history?
uva.x000235052	Do you suppose she is bringing us a message?
uva.x000235052	Do you suppose that she came to Europe after Jocelyn Thew?
uva.x000235052	Do you think,she enquired after a brief pause,"that you will enjoy soldiering better than pseudo- diplomacy?
uva.x000235052	Do you understand, sir,he enquired,"that this is strictly a cash affair?
uva.x000235052	Do you want to ask the man any questions?
uva.x000235052	Drink?
uva.x000235052	Exactly what does this mean, Nora?
uva.x000235052	Exactly what happened?
uva.x000235052	Exactly what time does your train go, Richard?
uva.x000235052	Exactly who are they?
uva.x000235052	Feeling a little stronger this morning, I hope?
uva.x000235052	For three hundred guineas?
uva.x000235052	For three?
uva.x000235052	For three?
uva.x000235052	Getting out of it, are n't we?
uva.x000235052	Getting your land legs, Mr. Crawshay?
uva.x000235052	Guess you're sorry you ever came to that supper party at the Knickerbocker, are n't you?
uva.x000235052	Harrison,he asked,"were you one of the stew- ards who was looking after Doctor Gant?"
uva.x000235052	Has anything gone wrong?
uva.x000235052	Has he ever been in prison?
uva.x000235052	Have I ever met him?
uva.x000235052	Have I ever shown myself afraid? uva.x000235052 Have you anything more to say to me?"
uva.x000235052	Have you anything to do with the fact that my rooms have been searched by the police?
uva.x000235052	Have you ever seen any bandaging of this sort?
uva.x000235052	Have you met our ship's doctor yet?
uva.x000235052	He does n't go as far as to express a definite opinion, but he thinks that it might be that German raider — the Blucher, is n't it? uva.x000235052 He is well off, then?"
uva.x000235052	He is, of course, a very great friend of yours?
uva.x000235052	He rather gives one that impression, does n't he?
uva.x000235052	Heard anything of Jocelyn Thew?
uva.x000235052	Hinted?
uva.x000235052	How are things here?
uva.x000235052	How can you doubt it if you have read the papers during the last six months?
uva.x000235052	How did you get in here?
uva.x000235052	How did you get on to this?
uva.x000235052	How do you know that?
uva.x000235052	How does she know about us?
uva.x000235052	How is it that you are so well- informed?
uva.x000235052	How on earth can he afford a trip like this? uva.x000235052 How will the man Phillips'death affect your plans?"
uva.x000235052	How's that, sir?
uva.x000235052	How's that, sir?
uva.x000235052	I beg your pardon,he said,"was I mistaken or did I hear my name?"
uva.x000235052	I mean that it was a pity you missed the boat, you and Hobson, was n't it? uva.x000235052 I really can not understand,"she murmured,"how he became a friend — a friend —""A friend of whom?"
uva.x000235052	I scarcely follow you, Mr. — Ought I to know your name? uva.x000235052 I see,"the detective admitted,"but, considering the way in which we have found it, you are not sug- gesting, I hope, that we should not open it?"
uva.x000235052	I suppose it still is Miss Sharey, is it? uva.x000235052 I suppose we shall meet again in London?"
uva.x000235052	I suppose you know that he is in France?
uva.x000235052	I suppose you know, Dix, that he was connected with the Secret Service at the English Embassy?
uva.x000235052	I suppose, as we have the pleasure of your com- pany this evening,the captain intervened,"Miss Beverley will be an absentee?"
uva.x000235052	I've got a peach of a black gown — you wo n't mind if I am twenty minutes?
uva.x000235052	I? uva.x000235052 If you put it like that,"Gant grunted,"why not to- day?"
uva.x000235052	If you think that I am,she observed,"why are you always slinging that Beverley girl at me?"
uva.x000235052	In France?
uva.x000235052	In time to save the British Army, eh?
uva.x000235052	Is it a big tiling?
uva.x000235052	Is it in the shape of a drawing?
uva.x000235052	Is it necessary with me?
uva.x000235052	Is it quite kind to bring me into an affair of this sort?
uva.x000235052	Is it really a lake?
uva.x000235052	Is n't it true that Jocelyn Thew is interested in your mys- terious patient?
uva.x000235052	Is n't there supposed to be a German raider out?
uva.x000235052	Is that a threat?
uva.x000235052	Is that quite honest?
uva.x000235052	Is there anything for us in this, my friend?
uva.x000235052	Is there anything more to tell me?
uva.x000235052	Is this man Jocelyn Thew connected with it in any way?
uva.x000235052	Is this really the way that they shoot,she asked,"or are n't they trying to hit us?"
uva.x000235052	Is this the end, then?
uva.x000235052	It is n't yet sold, I hope?
uva.x000235052	It's no use thinking of a tug, I sup- pose?
uva.x000235052	Just how am I to size that up, though?
uva.x000235052	Kind of a challenge, is n't it? uva.x000235052 Kind of lonesome, is n't it?"
uva.x000235052	Look here,he said,"for myself it does n't mat- ter — you know that — but what game are you play- ing?
uva.x000235052	May I ask you a question — straight?
uva.x000235052	May I come in?
uva.x000235052	May I sit down for a moment?
uva.x000235052	May I, in that case,he begged,"share your promenade?"
uva.x000235052	Meaning, sir?
uva.x000235052	Miss Sharey up- stairs?
uva.x000235052	Miss Sharey?
uva.x000235052	More of Craw- shay's tomfoolery, I suppose?
uva.x000235052	Mr. Jocelyn Thew,she complained,"tell me why you persist in treating me like a child?"
uva.x000235052	Mr. Thew himself, then, has made no attempt to visit it?
uva.x000235052	Mum cordon rouge?
uva.x000235052	Must you put it like that? uva.x000235052 No message, eh?
uva.x000235052	Not a cigar?
uva.x000235052	Now ask the Blucher her exact course?
uva.x000235052	Now what about an hour or two at a music- hall? uva.x000235052 Of what nature?"
uva.x000235052	Only gallantry? uva.x000235052 Or I you for your company?"
uva.x000235052	Perhaps, Miss Beverley, you can throw some light upon this?
uva.x000235052	Perhaps,Jocelyn Thew observed, as he watched Crawshay disappear,"you need some taking care of, eh, Nora?"
uva.x000235052	Perhaps,he said,"if I went on I might put just one card too many on the table, eh?"
uva.x000235052	Pity you had to make it, was n't it?
uva.x000235052	Police headquarters speaking? uva.x000235052 Questions?
uva.x000235052	Robins, your name, eh? uva.x000235052 Say, Katharine, what about lunch?"
uva.x000235052	Searched your stateroom?
uva.x000235052	She has come to pick up your papers, maybe?
uva.x000235052	Should n't we have heard of it?
uva.x000235052	So far as regards our two selves,she enquired,"do we meet as strangers upon the steamer?"
uva.x000235052	So that's the stunt, is it?
uva.x000235052	So you are not going to be nice to me?
uva.x000235052	So you fly over the German lines most days, eh?
uva.x000235052	So you have enemies?
uva.x000235052	So you have n't finished with adventures yet?
uva.x000235052	Soldiering? uva.x000235052 Some brains, eh?"
uva.x000235052	Something catching, eh?
uva.x000235052	Steamer's still following us, is n't she?
uva.x000235052	Still, some day i4 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS or other I suppose you expected a visit from me?
uva.x000235052	Surely you are not in earnest?
uva.x000235052	Tell me about these liberties, Captain?
uva.x000235052	Tell me one thing, wo n't you? uva.x000235052 Tell me what you think of him?"
uva.x000235052	Tell me, Mr. Crawshay,he asked,"how long was the gap of time between your losing sight of Jocelyn Thew and when you picked him up in Lon- don?"
uva.x000235052	That I should nurse him — should cross with him to London?
uva.x000235052	That amounts to the same thing, does n't it? uva.x000235052 That is rather his affair, is it not?"
uva.x000235052	That was the affair down at the Murchison country house, was n't it?
uva.x000235052	That was why you got mixed up with that German crew, eh?
uva.x000235052	That you, Rentoul?
uva.x000235052	The man was dead, of course?
uva.x000235052	The story's good enough,a ferret- faced little man at his elbow acknowledged,"but is it true?"
uva.x000235052	Then there is some sort of conspiracy going on?
uva.x000235052	Then what in thunder sent you here after an American liner on a seaplane?
uva.x000235052	Then you were thinking very hard this morn- in?
uva.x000235052	Then you're not going to ask Dick to do any- thing of that sort?
uva.x000235052	Think something of yourself, do n't you?
uva.x000235052	Under arrest?
uva.x000235052	Upon no conditions?
uva.x000235052	Want my advice?
uva.x000235052	Was it really so terribly important,she en- 68 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS quired,"that you should be in London next week?"
uva.x000235052	Was there a hearse waiting?
uva.x000235052	Well, have you come to pronounce sentence upon me?
uva.x000235052	Well, what about her?
uva.x000235052	Well, what about him?
uva.x000235052	Well,she exclaimed,"he does put it over you, does n't he?
uva.x000235052	Well?
uva.x000235052	Well?
uva.x000235052	Well?
uva.x000235052	Were these detectives from Liverpool,she asked,"able to keep any watch upon Doctor Gant and Mr. Jocelyn Thew after — Chester?"
uva.x000235052	Were you thinking about the young lady, sir?
uva.x000235052	What about Miss Beverley then?
uva.x000235052	What about getting an innocent girl turned out of a job at Washington, though?
uva.x000235052	What about him?
uva.x000235052	What about speed, Captain?
uva.x000235052	What about the Englishman, Crawshay, and Sam Hobson?
uva.x000235052	What are you going to do about it?
uva.x000235052	What can I do for you, Mr. Crawshay? uva.x000235052 What chance of fog is there?"
uva.x000235052	What concern is all this of yours?
uva.x000235052	What difference do I make?
uva.x000235052	What do you make of that fellow, Dix?
uva.x000235052	What do you mean?
uva.x000235052	What does he call him- self?
uva.x000235052	What does he want here?
uva.x000235052	What does it mean?
uva.x000235052	What else should there be?
uva.x000235052	What else?
uva.x000235052	What facts?
uva.x000235052	What for?
uva.x000235052	What happened?
uva.x000235052	What has the world done to you,she demanded,"that you should speak so bitterly?"
uva.x000235052	What is going to happen to me?
uva.x000235052	What is his name?
uva.x000235052	What is it, then?
uva.x000235052	What is it? uva.x000235052 What is the nature of his illness?"
uva.x000235052	What is this? uva.x000235052 What news, Henshaw?"
uva.x000235052	What on earth are we up to?
uva.x000235052	What was this service?
uva.x000235052	What will happen if she finds us?
uva.x000235052	What's that you're saying, Nora? uva.x000235052 What's that?"
uva.x000235052	What's that?
uva.x000235052	What's the matter with the chap, anyway?
uva.x000235052	What's to prevent that fellow Robins bringing her right on to our track?
uva.x000235052	What's wrong with him?
uva.x000235052	What's wrong with him?
uva.x000235052	What, search every one on board?
uva.x000235052	What, the man who is supposed to be dying?
uva.x000235052	When? uva.x000235052 Where did you say he was staying?"
uva.x000235052	Where have} Tou been to these three years, man, that you've heard nothing?
uva.x000235052	Where to?
uva.x000235052	Which won — in history?
uva.x000235052	Who does the captain think she is, then?
uva.x000235052	Who is he,she asked,"and what does his com- ing mean to you?"
uva.x000235052	Who is he?
uva.x000235052	Who is it?
uva.x000235052	Who is she?
uva.x000235052	Who won?
uva.x000235052	Who's the man, anyway?
uva.x000235052	Why are n't they trying?
uva.x000235052	Why dangerous?
uva.x000235052	Why do n't you come up here, then?
uva.x000235052	Why do you connect him with the present enter- prise?
uva.x000235052	Why do you pretend to be afraid?
uva.x000235052	Why ever speak of them?
uva.x000235052	Why have you changed your mind?
uva.x000235052	Why not the purser and captain, while he's about it?
uva.x000235052	Why not?
uva.x000235052	Why not?
uva.x000235052	Why not?
uva.x000235052	Why not?
uva.x000235052	Why should I? uva.x000235052 Why should you ask that question?"
uva.x000235052	Why, it was really you, then, dining last night with that fellow Crawshay?
uva.x000235052	Why, of course, there have been great changes, have n't there? uva.x000235052 Why,"Mr. Dix demanded,"should anything in the shape of violence take place?
uva.x000235052	Why? uva.x000235052 Why?"
uva.x000235052	Why?
uva.x000235052	Will he be buried at sea?
uva.x000235052	Will he ever get well?
uva.x000235052	Will you make a fresh start, Mr. Jocelyn Thew, with twice that sum of money to your credit?
uva.x000235052	Will you tell me what induced you to do this?
uva.x000235052	Wireless? uva.x000235052 Would you do it again for the same money?"
uva.x000235052	Yes, Nora?
uva.x000235052	Yes?
uva.x000235052	You are fighting out there in France?
uva.x000235052	You are going to send the message, then?
uva.x000235052	You are going to telephone to that chap with the dark moustache — Brightman, is n't it? uva.x000235052 You are going to treat me as an enemy?"
uva.x000235052	You are going to walk?
uva.x000235052	You are ill?
uva.x000235052	You are not staying over here now that the war has come?
uva.x000235052	You are pretty strong in that line, are n't you?
uva.x000235052	You are quite sure the third place is n't a mis- take?
uva.x000235052	You are satisfied,Mr. Brown asked,"with the aid which you are getting from Scotland Yard?"
uva.x000235052	You are staying here, then?
uva.x000235052	You burnt them — yourself?
uva.x000235052	You can at least tell me your own name, or the name of the firm whom you represent?
uva.x000235052	You did n't come over with Jocelyn Thew, did you, Nora?
uva.x000235052	You did n't get the stuff at Halifax, then?
uva.x000235052	You do n't like this black silk?
uva.x000235052	You do n't propose to tell me, then,his ques- tioner persisted,"the contents of that message?"
uva.x000235052	You do n't suppose for a moment,she said,"that my sympathies are not with my own country and our joint cause?"
uva.x000235052	You find him stupid?
uva.x000235052	You had an uncomfortable ride, I fear?
uva.x000235052	You have had full reports, sir, I suppose?
uva.x000235052	You have n't been getting Katharine mixed up in any crooked business?
uva.x000235052	You heard what was said last night?
uva.x000235052	You helped to carry the coffin out, did n't you?
uva.x000235052	You know him?
uva.x000235052	You know his people, do you?
uva.x000235052	You know it's the Blucher?
uva.x000235052	You know that Jocelyn Thew is here? uva.x000235052 You know that he sent me these?"
uva.x000235052	You know the manner in which the documents were brought into this country?
uva.x000235052	You mean that you are going away altogether to- night?
uva.x000235052	You realise, of course,he went on,"that there is only one man who could have placed them there?"
uva.x000235052	You really knew nothing, then, until those things were discovered in your stateroom?
uva.x000235052	You really know something about him, then? uva.x000235052 You see that man?"
uva.x000235052	You suffer from nerves, do n't you?
uva.x000235052	You think there is anything between those two — Katharine Beverley and him?
uva.x000235052	You want to make me jealous of Katharine Bever- ley?
uva.x000235052	You were n't best pleased to see them together, I should think, were you?
uva.x000235052	You will not object,the detective enquired,"to my opening it?"
uva.x000235052	You will not think that I am taking a liberty, Miss Beverley, if I ask you a question?
uva.x000235052	You will remember,Crawshay enjoined,"that little mandate I showed you?"
uva.x000235052	You wish to see me?
uva.x000235052	You — did I understand you to say that you were in personal at- tendance upon a patient?
uva.x000235052	You're angry with him, are n't you?
uva.x000235052	You?
uva.x000235052	Your brother, I hope, is well?
uva.x000235052	& L.-"What message?"
uva.x000235052	'"Even the stupidest people in the world,"Jocelyn Thew agreed,"can scarcely make mistakes all the time, can they?
uva.x000235052	122 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS"There is a change in his condition, then?"
uva.x000235052	198 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS"What are you going to say?"
uva.x000235052	36 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS"How are we going?"
uva.x000235052	38 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS Surely he was a clerk at one of the drygoods stores down- town?"
uva.x000235052	72 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS"Are you really interested?"
uva.x000235052	80 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS"Is that so?"
uva.x000235052	?
uva.x000235052	A"Going away?"
uva.x000235052	Adventurer?
uva.x000235052	Agnes's?"
uva.x000235052	Am I under arrest or anything?"
uva.x000235052	An Englishman?"
uva.x000235052	And listen. — Do you hear that?"
uva.x000235052	Any other lug- gage?"
uva.x000235052	Any relation to the young Sinn Feiner who was shot in Dublin a few months ago?"
uva.x000235052	Anything you'd like to*add?"
uva.x000235052	Are n't you terrified?"
uva.x000235052	Are you known here?
uva.x000235052	Are you not an American?"
uva.x000235052	At what time would you like me to come and help you change the bandages?"
uva.x000235052	But if they have the sense to try the Crescent — eh, Gant?
uva.x000235052	But what have I done?"
uva.x000235052	But why do you say'your coun- try'?
uva.x000235052	By the way,"he went on, turning towards the detective,"is it my fancy or have I not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brightman in Amer- ica?
uva.x000235052	By- the- by, are you inter- ested in her?"
uva.x000235052	Ca n't you believe that there may be ties between two men stronger even than between a man and the woman he loves?"
uva.x000235052	Ca n't you let me know for whom you were trying to buy it?
uva.x000235052	Ca n't you treat me as a friend?"
uva.x000235052	Ca n't you treat me as such?"
uva.x000235052	Can you tell me honestly that you enjoy it, that you have no fear?"
uva.x000235052	Crawshay?"
uva.x000235052	Crawshay?"
uva.x000235052	Crawshay?"
uva.x000235052	Crawshay?"
uva.x000235052	Crawshay?"
uva.x000235052	Did you know of the presence of those papers and dispatch box amongst your belongings?"
uva.x000235052	Did you send this dispatch or did you not?"
uva.x000235052	Dix?"
uva.x000235052	Do I look as though I were worry- ing about that?"
uva.x000235052	Do n't you remember, I went there for a month on trial as telephone operator, just before 172 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS the election?
uva.x000235052	Do n't you understand,"he went on,"that if I pass from the shadow of this danger, there is another more imminent, more certain?"
uva.x000235052	Do you care to hand Mr. Dix your keys?"
uva.x000235052	Do you get that, Crawshay?"
uva.x000235052	Do you know of any one who has missed the boat?"
uva.x000235052	Do you know what it fetched?"
uva.x000235052	Do you really know me so little, my friend of few perceptions?
uva.x000235052	Do you think that he would have lived if he had not undertaken the journey?"
uva.x000235052	Ever flown before?"
uva.x000235052	Explorer?
uva.x000235052	Good busi- ness, eh?'"
uva.x000235052	Have we any of us — my brother or father or I — hesitated to run any possible risk when it was worth while?
uva.x000235052	Have we such a wonderful cargo, then?"
uva.x000235052	Have you any objection to answering a few ques- tions?"
uva.x000235052	Have you burnt everything?"
uva.x000235052	Have you formed any theory at all as to where they may be con- cealed?"
uva.x000235052	He has got some sort of a hold, has n't he?
uva.x000235052	He really is a bad lot?"
uva.x000235052	How did you get here?"
uva.x000235052	How does that work out?"
uva.x000235052	How much did you lose, Richard?'
uva.x000235052	I am very sure they are asking them- selves —'When is the transfer of documents to take place?'"
uva.x000235052	I ask you again, why and to whom were you advertis- ing our whereabouts and course?"
uva.x000235052	I begin to wonder whether I know the whole truth about this frantic desire of his to reach England before he dies?"
uva.x000235052	I do n't suppose you want to be in it?"
uva.x000235052	I do wish you would sit down, and are you quite sure that you wo n't have some tea or something?"
uva.x000235052	I find the purser,"he added, dropping his voice,"an excellent fellow, no doubt, but just a trifle unsympathetic, eh?"
uva.x000235052	I guess we're going to have a cocktail together, are n't we?"
uva.x000235052	I hope you will join us?"
uva.x000235052	I put it to you, sir — was that dispatch for you?"
uva.x000235052	I suppose you realise that I am fully qualified?"
uva.x000235052	I understood you to say, I think, that you have heard nothing by wireless about me?"
uva.x000235052	I was only going to ask you if you would mind telling me what our friend Mr. Crawshay was talking to you about just now?"
uva.x000235052	I wonder if I might ask, without your considering it a liberty, what he was talking to you about?"
uva.x000235052	I wonder whether you think that I am s 202 THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS going to be any use to you — that you'll trap Joce- lyn Thew through me?"
uva.x000235052	Is anything wrong?'
uva.x000235052	Is it anything — anything against the law, this business you're on?
uva.x000235052	Is it for money?"
uva.x000235052	Is it money?"
uva.x000235052	Is it not true that you have made me an unknowing participator in an illegal act?"
uva.x000235052	Is it so very personal?"
uva.x000235052	Is it too late for me to ask for the one greatest thing of all of the only person who could count — who ever has counted?
uva.x000235052	Is that name known to you?"
uva.x000235052	Is there anything wrong?"
uva.x000235052	Is this your car- riage?
uva.x000235052	It seems a pity, does n't it,"she went on sympathetically,"that that wonderful voyage of yours was taken for nothing?
uva.x000235052	Look at me. — Will you believe that?"
uva.x000235052	Look me up when you come, wo n't you?"
uva.x000235052	Lower down you will see the message which he sent under my superintend- ence later on —""Superintendence?"
uva.x000235052	Now what are you going to do?"
uva.x000235052	Please tell me exactly what happened?
uva.x000235052	Say, what's wrong with you?
uva.x000235052	Shall I give them a hint, Gant?"
uva.x000235052	Shall I knock it down at that?"
uva.x000235052	Shall I thank you for your dinner?"
uva.x000235052	She had been guilty — of what?
uva.x000235052	So he is in this thing, is he?"
uva.x000235052	So that's your game, is it, Richard Beverley?'
uva.x000235052	So you're a thief, are you, Richard Beverley?'
uva.x000235052	THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS 257"Will you excuse me for one moment, Miss Sha- rey?"
uva.x000235052	THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS 39"What else am I here for?
uva.x000235052	THE BOX WITH BROKEN SEALS 51"Soaked your shore clothes, eh?"

uva.x000235052	That is worth something, eh?"
uva.x000235052	That's so, is n't it, Hobson?"
uva.x000235052	The man who stands clear of them has an extra chance or two — Say, what time this evening?"

uva.x000235052	Was n't he introduced to Jocelyn Thew?"
uva.x000235052	We got your dis- patch.—What's that?
uva.x000235052	We should have heard of it one way or an- other. — Do you see who's sitting over there in a corner?"
uva.x000235052	We'll have that car traced, and —""Does any one know what time Mr. Jocelyn Thew left the steamer?"
uva.x000235052	Were you trying to pick up the Blucher?"
uva.x000235052	What are you?
uva.x000235052	What ever brought you across, Katharine?"
uva.x000235052	What exactly is the matter with your charge?"
uva.x000235052	What have I done wrong?"
uva.x000235052	What hold had he upon you that he should have induced you to leave your work and your home and betray your country?"
uva.x000235052	What is it?
uva.x000235052	What is it?"
uva.x000235052	What is the motive of it all?
uva.x000235052	What is the reason of it?
uva.x000235052	What was the weather like in Chicago?"
uva.x000235052	What would you call it, I wonder?
uva.x000235052	What's that?"
uva.x000235052	When do you leave?"
uva.x000235052	When site you going?"
uva.x000235052	Where did you mean to stay?"
uva.x000235052	Where's Downs?"
uva.x000235052	Why ca n't you satisfy that part of your nature as Dick is doing?
uva.x000235052	Why do n't you join one of these irregular forces and fight?"
uva.x000235052	Why do you do that?"
uva.x000235052	Why do you keep us both, Mr. Thew, in such a state of uneasiness?
uva.x000235052	Why not go home?
uva.x000235052	Why not to- morrow?"
uva.x000235052	Why?"
uva.x000235052	Will you believe that?
uva.x000235052	Will you dine with me to- night and let me invite him to meet you?"
uva.x000235052	Will you step into the box office with us?"

uva.x000235052	You know what it means, I suppose, to communicate with the enemy?"
uva.x000235052	You never mentioned Thew in any of your letters, Katharine?"
uva.x000235052	You people did the only wise thing — brother to San Francisco, eh, your father to Chicago, and you over here?"
uva.x000235052	You saw him with us last night?"
uva.x000235052	You see how the packet is addressed?"
uva.x000235052	You see my couple of guns?

uva.x000235052	You will excuse me?
uva.x000235052	You will honour me, Miss Beverley?"
uva.x000235052	You will understand me, will you not, when I say that I can neither take your money, nor accept your friendship after this voyage is over?
uva.x000235052	You'll be close to Charing Cross, wo n't you, Richard, and you wo n't have to leave until ten o'clock?"
uva.x000235052	You're fine, Dick, but what does it all mean?"

uva.x000235052	— Well?
uva.x001328308	'A free man'?
uva.x001328308	A sailor from the Mishe Nahma?
uva.x001328308	Afraid of what?
uva.x001328308	After such an adventure?
uva.x001328308	Ah, you saw? uva.x001328308 Ah, you want to search my place?"
uva.x001328308	Ah? uva.x001328308 Ah?
uva.x001328308	Ah?
uva.x001328308	Am I not the chief witness against him? uva.x001328308 And as to the motor cap?"
uva.x001328308	And be sure that it is empty, or you drop dead I281 By Force of Circumstances Not got another six- shooter in the other pocket, Mr. Bagot?
uva.x001328308	And if there's any callers, sir?
uva.x001328308	And quite warm to the touch, you say?
uva.x001328308	And that he has agreed to it?
uva.x001328308	And the bullets?
uva.x001328308	And the necessity to raise fifty thousand pounds within?
uva.x001328308	And this revolver of the passing stranger that somehow got into your pocket,said he,"where is it?
uva.x001328308	And what became of the parcel?
uva.x001328308	And what impression did you have of him? uva.x001328308 And who was that gentleman?"
uva.x001328308	And why abroad?
uva.x001328308	And you say, sir,asked Furneaux, almost deferentially,"that that was some six weeks ago?"
uva.x001328308	And you — agreed? uva.x001328308 Any name?"
uva.x001328308	Anything wrong with the master?
uva.x001328308	Are we near?
uva.x001328308	Are you going to be off?
uva.x001328308	Are you sure? uva.x001328308 As to what Mr. Bagot'wanted'of me?"
uva.x001328308	At?
uva.x001328308	Banks — one of your stockkeepers?
uva.x001328308	Beg pardon, zur, but may I ax who'ee be?
uva.x001328308	Bird flown?
uva.x001328308	Brain? uva.x001328308 But Bagot did n't kill the man?"
uva.x001328308	But Mr. Chauncey Bagot — how old, I wonder? uva.x001328308 But as to yourself, Leigh,"he went on —"is the net of circumstantial evidence seriously closing round you, as I prophesied that it might?"
uva.x001328308	But how on earth did you arrive at the balloon theory?
uva.x001328308	But how was it recovered?
uva.x001328308	But how"Has it never occurred to you that Mr. Bagot is the greatest living mesmerist? uva.x001328308 But if I remember rightly, the cat's behavior somewhat resembled that of the late lamented Stokes?"
uva.x001328308	But tell me, Elinor, what reason had you for befriending me — you, who must have been besieged by suitors innumerable?
uva.x001328308	But that means that the unfortunate man had just been murdered?
uva.x001328308	But touching that little matter of the hidden money, sir?
uva.x001328308	But what can we do?
uva.x001328308	But what of the lease of the Abbey as between you and me, if I disappear?
uva.x001328308	But what of you?
uva.x001328308	But when in the evening letter you saw that I had written you a letter in the morning which you had not received — what did you think?
uva.x001328308	By whom? uva.x001328308 Can I be of any assistance?"
uva.x001328308	Can they find out? uva.x001328308 Can you not be serious?"
uva.x001328308	Clothes?
uva.x001328308	Could n't you climb this gate, and then find some means inside of pulling me over?
uva.x001328308	Decided on? uva.x001328308 Did he, now?"
uva.x001328308	Did he?
uva.x001328308	Did the old fellow's heart kindle for a moment when he read what his son's son was doing?
uva.x001328308	Did you ever hear the like?
uva.x001328308	Did you hear anything?
uva.x001328308	Did you never hear the reason of your grand- father's order that the Abbot's Port should be kept locked an'bolted, sir? uva.x001328308 Dix and Churchill?
uva.x001328308	Do I know Dix and Churchill?
uva.x001328308	Do n't you know what he dashed upon the sum- mer- house? uva.x001328308 Do you imply that I mean to rob his heir?"
uva.x001328308	Do you know where he is, sir?
uva.x001328308	Do you know why or when the two shots were fired?
uva.x001328308	Do you mean that inquiry must not be made — that the police should not be asked to find out who owns the car?
uva.x001328308	Do you propose to keep my revolver?
uva.x001328308	Do you think those wretches meant to hurt me? uva.x001328308 Do you wish me to die, then, so soon?"
uva.x001328308	Found — when?
uva.x001328308	Have I objected? uva.x001328308 Have n't I told you?"
uva.x001328308	Have you any visitors in there?
uva.x001328308	Have you kept my secret as to the kidnapping incident of yesterday?
uva.x001328308	Have you put the matter of the lease in the hands of Mowle and Mowle, your lawyers?
uva.x001328308	Have you seen anyone?
uva.x001328308	Have you seen or heard nothing unusual?
uva.x001328308	Have you started a garage at the Feathers?
uva.x001328308	He was perfectly naked, you say, when you found him?
uva.x001328308	Hence, you find yourself saddled with a mort- gage to the tune of?
uva.x001328308	Her only?
uva.x001328308	His disappearance? uva.x001328308 His name?"
uva.x001328308	How about Churchill?
uva.x001328308	How came he to bid you take Mr. Leigh away from a place where his presence is so desirable just now?
uva.x001328308	How did he get there?
uva.x001328308	How did he get there?
uva.x001328308	How did you come to appear on the scene?
uva.x001328308	How do you know?
uva.x001328308	How do you know?
uva.x001328308	How is it possible that?
uva.x001328308	How is the arm now?
uva.x001328308	How long have you known the man?
uva.x001328308	How should I know?
uva.x001328308	How so? uva.x001328308 How was he dressed?"
uva.x001328308	How?
uva.x001328308	I do n't know if you have heard of recent develop- 146 Mr. Bagofs House ments, sir?
uva.x001328308	I do n't quite see why?
uva.x001328308	I suppose you received my note?
uva.x001328308	I thought you said that the revolver could not be found?
uva.x001328308	If you go out, you can not fail to be killed^—he is in hiding, armed, and if you were killed, what would happen to me? uva.x001328308 In his absence from it?"
uva.x001328308	In the gargoyle?
uva.x001328308	Inspector Furneaux? uva.x001328308 Is Mr. Hinton on board?"
uva.x001328308	Is he still there?
uva.x001328308	Is it, now?
uva.x001328308	Is it? uva.x001328308 Is n't it rather late to think of that now?"
uva.x001328308	Is n't there a connection between Beauty and the Barge?
uva.x001328308	Is the explanation, Mr. Leigh, an apology for the shortness of your note?
uva.x001328308	Is this it?
uva.x001328308	Is this official sarcasm?
uva.x001328308	It is you, then, who are possessed of millions?
uva.x001328308	It sounds wild?
uva.x001328308	It was loaded, I think?
uva.x001328308	Kept up the appearance of a fight to a finish — is that it?
uva.x001328308	May I ask — how?
uva.x001328308	May I ask,he said when Leigh ceased speaking,"did you carry any sort of a weapon, sir?"
uva.x001328308	May I come with you a little way?
uva.x001328308	Miss Hinton aboard?
uva.x001328308	Mr. Leigh?
uva.x001328308	My dear Arthur,—it ran —"Why no letter?
uva.x001328308	My dear fellow, what are you talking about? uva.x001328308 Need I trouble you?
uva.x001328308	No brougham? uva.x001328308 No- a, zur,"was the answer:"is summat amiss?"
uva.x001328308	No? uva.x001328308 No?
uva.x001328308	No? uva.x001328308 Not at home?
uva.x001328308	Not in the river: but was not that revolver in 156 Mr. Bagofs House this room when I last was here? uva.x001328308 Now I wonder if I shall be allowed to smoke this one?"
uva.x001328308	Now tell me,she said, the moment she found her- self alone with him, and suddenly her face changed from gay to very grave:"what did he want of you?"
uva.x001328308	Now, who in the world can it be?
uva.x001328308	Of Mr. Churchill: never of Mr. Dix, no?
uva.x001328308	Of what, though?
uva.x001328308	Oh, I see — the dead man clothes?
uva.x001328308	Oh, Master Arthur,he cried,"where have you been?
uva.x001328308	Oh, is that it?
uva.x001328308	Oh, sh- h- h- h,she whispered, almost in distress.."Yesterday, you mean?"
uva.x001328308	Oh, you know him?
uva.x001328308	Old friends of your grandfather?—or not?
uva.x001328308	One follows from the other, does it not?
uva.x001328308	Perhaps you can tell me,he said with the cocked head of the connoisseur,"at what age your grand- father had this portrait painted?"
uva.x001328308	Promised to Bagot, do you mean?
uva.x001328308	Que diable, Gustave, why lose so much time?
uva.x001328308	See to it, will you?
uva.x001328308	Serious, sir?
uva.x001328308	Shall I drop you at the Abbey, sir?
uva.x001328308	So Mr. Furneaux called, eh? uva.x001328308 So what made him cease to suspect me?"
uva.x001328308	So you are glad you came?
uva.x001328308	Tell me, Mr. Leigh,she repeated vehemently,"what has your freedom or slavery to do with the matter under discussion?"
uva.x001328308	The mortgagees being —: —?
uva.x001328308	The point for me?
uva.x001328308	The — what?
uva.x001328308	Then how, Mr. Leigh, could the body have got on to the barge? uva.x001328308 Then what?"
uva.x001328308	Then where the — what has become of them?
uva.x001328308	Then, about an hour and a half afterwards, did you not receive my covering letter?
uva.x001328308	Then, or at any time?
uva.x001328308	Then, why did he come?
uva.x001328308	Then, why did you decide as to granting the lease when I had begged you in my telegram not to? uva.x001328308 There are four of us on the yacht — rather a crowd, is n't it?
uva.x001328308	Thought I had gone off in the yacht, eh?
uva.x001328308	To me?
uva.x001328308	To what house are we going?
uva.x001328308	To where, sir?
uva.x001328308	Trail?
uva.x001328308	Was he dragged through the barley- field, thus making that trail of which I have been informed?
uva.x001328308	Was not the letter a document pressing you not to lease the property to a certain person? uva.x001328308 Was that it, sir?
uva.x001328308	Was that the Mr. John Churchill of Dix and Churchill?
uva.x001328308	We are not going exactly on our own account"I am glad you say'we'—it is decidedly a case of •we, is n't it?
uva.x001328308	Well, suppose I go back, or suppose I had n't come, how would you have got in?
uva.x001328308	Well, then, how shall I put it? — so dignified, re- mote, confoundedly respectful? uva.x001328308 Well, then, how shall I put it? — so dignified, re- mote, confoundedly respectful?
uva.x001328308	Well?
uva.x001328308	Were you there?
uva.x001328308	What did you mean?
uva.x001328308	What difference does it make now whether you reach home at eight or eleven?
uva.x001328308	What do you mean?
uva.x001328308	What have I done to you?
uva.x001328308	What is it?
uva.x001328308	What is it?
uva.x001328308	What is it?
uva.x001328308	What is the matter with you?
uva.x001328308	What is there to be said?
uva.x001328308	What of him?
uva.x001328308	What quarrel is there between him and me? uva.x001328308 What reason have you for believing that any such sum of money is hidden here?"
uva.x001328308	What shall I do? uva.x001328308 What time will Miss Hinton be called?"
uva.x001328308	What was there to tell?
uva.x001328308	What would have happened if he had n't come?
uva.x001328308	What's up now?
uva.x001328308	What, about finding means to discover the size of my visitor's head? uva.x001328308 What, indeed?
uva.x001328308	What, then,—are they both dead?
uva.x001328308	When?
uva.x001328308	Where are the clothes of the murdered man?
uva.x001328308	Where did you drop from, anyhow?
uva.x001328308	Where is he now?
uva.x001328308	Where?
uva.x001328308	Who are you?
uva.x001328308	Who looks after these creatures now?
uva.x001328308	Who on earth is this mys- terious'someone'? uva.x001328308 Who pays them?"
uva.x001328308	Why are you detaining that lady by force?
uva.x001328308	Why are you so serious, Jenkins?
uva.x001328308	Why could n't his name be published? uva.x001328308 Why did n't I think of that before?"
uva.x001328308	Why doubt? uva.x001328308 Why is he so angry?"
uva.x001328308	Why not Bagot himself?
uva.x001328308	Why not? uva.x001328308 Why not?"
uva.x001328308	Why should I stay here to go through this misery? uva.x001328308 Why so?
uva.x001328308	Why so? uva.x001328308 Why take a revolver for that?
uva.x001328308	Why worry?
uva.x001328308	Why?
uva.x001328308	Why?
uva.x001328308	Would it be wise to light a candle?
uva.x001328308	Would you mind telling me why you are so pos- itive that Mr. Bagot himself, and none other, killed those unfortunate men?
uva.x001328308	Yet I am surprised you never tried to find out why Inspector Furneaux should be in Somerset- shire?
uva.x001328308	You are not thinking of going back alone?
uva.x001328308	You conclude, then, that he prefers us to run?
uva.x001328308	You did n't shoot the revolver when you got the mysterious blow from nowhere you have described?
uva.x001328308	You have been here before, then?
uva.x001328308	You mean he has accomplices?
uva.x001328308	You shut him into a carriage?
uva.x001328308	You tell me you have only just received this note written four days ago?

uva.x001328308	And how came'ee, zur, to be locked up in this'ere barge?"
uva.x001328308	And so I am led to ask you, Mr. Leigh — have you, or have you not, seen that revolver since that night?"
uva.x001328308	And the wearer of the motor cap which he had found, had he anything to do with'either of these forces, or with both, if both were one?
uva.x001328308	And was the force the same as that which had killed the dead man, which had borne and placed the body in the barge?
uva.x001328308	And what of Furneaux?
uva.x001328308	And what on earth was he doing there alone on a barge at that time of night, anyhow?"
uva.x001328308	And who else could obtain petrol there?
uva.x001328308	And why, if the man meant to burn us, did he 201 By Force of Circumstances not come back?
uva.x001328308	And why?"
uva.x001328308	And you have come, so where's the good of supposing?"
uva.x001328308	And — do you think of accepting?"
uva.x001328308	And, by the way, what is the name of this skunk?"
uva.x001328308	And, if I may make so bold, how are you, sir?
uva.x001328308	Any letters, Jenkins?"
uva.x001328308	Are n't you breaking some of the rules?
uva.x001328308	Are we going to trespass upon private property — or what?
uva.x001328308	Are you sure he told you that?
uva.x001328308	Are you sure you can walk?"
uva.x001328308	Arthur asked himself:"is it an accusation?"
uva.x001328308	Arthur wished to reply aloud:"Since you ob- viously know all about my affairs, why the deuce ask?"
uva.x001328308	Arthur, dear, do you believe the police will really be able to lock him up in some strong prison where he will never again be able to do us any harm?"
uva.x001328308	Arthur, wondering"Why do his eyes search my face like that?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bagot?"
uva.x001328308	Bless my soul, what would they have done if it had n't been for me?
uva.x001328308	Bushy eyebrows — oh, yes: walks like a cat — I did n't hear him coming, sir, did you?
uva.x001328308	But I think you said, sir, that you can tell us nothing of this strange trail?"
uva.x001328308	But I was goin'to ax you, sir, why you brought her to the Abbey through the Abbot's Port, an'why in the world did she take her hat off?"
uva.x001328308	But Mowle and Mowle say in the letter that they are a highly reputable firm?"
uva.x001328308	But do you not see that you assume an authority over my actions and my affairs which I can not very well admit?"
uva.x001328308	But first answer me this — why did you say'If I were free,'and drive me away from you?"
uva.x001328308	But he asked:"Who is the police inspector here now?
uva.x001328308	But that brought the query: Why was Bagot so » determined to become the Abbey's tenant?
uva.x001328308	But what could Mr. Dix, of Cornhill, possibly have been doing on a barge on the Parret?"
uva.x001328308	But what wizard's spell had brought Furneaux to Bristol?
uva.x001328308	But why, why, this search?"
uva.x001328308	But you — how could you know that I had it?"
uva.x001328308	But, then, why have you not answered my letter which I sent you by special messenger at 12.15 to confirm my tele- gram?
uva.x001328308	But, will you kindly explain, Mr. Leigh, how the revolver of that passer- by came to be in your pocket?"
uva.x001328308	By gad, do you think he made a mistake, and left the wrong will lying about?
uva.x001328308	By whom?"
uva.x001328308	CHUBCHILL"You are not hurt again?"
uva.x001328308	Can it be possible that you are inside?
uva.x001328308	Can you see it?
uva.x001328308	Consider the strange- ness of that letter miscarrying, and tell me what you think?"
uva.x001328308	Could you bring him here, I wonder?
uva.x001328308	Curious, is n't it?
uva.x001328308	D — n you, ca n't you speak?"
uva.x001328308	Deuce of a row I had with myj grandfather that morning, eh?
uva.x001328308	Did Mr. Bagot know with certainty from whom 135 By Force of Circumstances that telegram came?
uva.x001328308	Did he follow you here?"
uva.x001328308	Did he hold fast to the'trans- migration of souls theory'to the end?"
uva.x001328308	Did he read anything in Arthur's face?
uva.x001328308	Did he relent before the tend?"
uva.x001328308	Did n't I mention that I dropped it at the moment when the 65 By Force of Circumstances plank was withdrawn from under my feet, and I fell?"
uva.x001328308	Did n't the solicitors tell you all about it, sir?"
uva.x001328308	Did you know, by the way, that the dead man has a bullet in his left shoulder?"
uva.x001328308	Did you not always feel a sense of confidence when he was present, and a positive dis- ease when he left you?"
uva.x001328308	Did you not say that Inspector Furneaux knew that we were coming here?"
uva.x001328308	Did you pick him up, then?"
uva.x001328308	Did you see the yacht?"
uva.x001328308	Dix, he knew, was dead — was Churchill dead, too?
uva.x001328308	Dix?"
uva.x001328308	Dix?"
uva.x001328308	Dix?"
uva.x001328308	Dix?"
uva.x001328308	Do n't you see?
uva.x001328308	Do you ever think of my mother?
uva.x001328308	Do you know Dix and Churchill at all?
uva.x001328308	Do you know the gen- tleman what owns it?"
uva.x001328308	Do you know?"
uva.x001328308	Do you mean that she is not on board the yacht?"
uva.x001328308	Do you remember Inspector Lawson's simile about the snake?
uva.x001328308	Do you, by chance, know them?"
uva.x001328308	First of all, who is this someone who( wishes me well,'and'suggested'that I should come with you on this expedition?"
uva.x001328308	For goodness'sake, Jenkins, where did you learn that doggerel?"
uva.x001328308	For instance""Why in the world did your ancestors shut them- selves in behind such a high wall?"
uva.x001328308	From whom but from Furneaux?
uva.x001328308	Had he bushy eyebrows, and large features, with a lot of little wrinkles stretching away from the corners of his eyes?"
uva.x001328308	Had not Ba- got himself said that evening that he meant to dine at Pinkerton's, the Ponds Covert house?
uva.x001328308	Had she not said, even in the teeth of his bitter humor, that she might need him again?
uva.x001328308	Have a brandy- and- soda?"
uva.x001328308	Have we a ghost on the premises?"
uva.x001328308	Have you a balloon, Elinor?"
uva.x001328308	Have you ever been in Wales?"
uva.x001328308	Have you ever met them?"
uva.x001328308	Have you never heard his name?"
uva.x001328308	Have you not received it?
uva.x001328308	He had hidden it in the dead hours of a stormy night, and the thought passed through his mind:"Is this little man all- knowing?"
uva.x001328308	He is the gentleman, Mr. Leigh, who has offered to cut your financial knot — if I may ask?"
uva.x001328308	Here is his letter?"
uva.x001328308	How came it that she was ready to endow a mere stranger with her wealth and her magnificent youth?
uva.x001328308	How did; they keep track of me?
uva.x001328308	How do you pick out the evening of the 9th from any other evening, say that of the 8th or 10th?"
uva.x001328308	How does she know I have not made my choice already?"
uva.x001328308	How if both were enemies, and so meant to ruin him?
uva.x001328308	How much does the estate bring in yearly, Jenkins?"
uva.x001328308	I could hardly tell you at first, could I?"
uva.x001328308	I do n't feel cold all over; do you?"
uva.x001328308	I think, I am almost sure, that I made my meaning clear to him, but he""Well, of what importance is it?
uva.x001328308	I wonder what the old boy had in his mind?
uva.x001328308	I wonder why?"
uva.x001328308	If you are not free to come to the yacht at once, do send a line quickly to say that all is well, and that you will be here — when?
uva.x001328308	Ill By Force of Circumstances"Sir?"
uva.x001328308	In a word, have you forgotten my name?"
uva.x001328308	In which case, had they made themselves prisoners in the barge?
uva.x001328308	Ingenious for a fat man, was n't it?"
uva.x001328308	Is he alive?
uva.x001328308	Is he coming back to- night?"
uva.x001328308	Is he in the hotel?"
uva.x001328308	Is it not so?"
uva.x001328308	Is n't my desire a perfectly natural one, to know whither I am being hurried off in this way?"
uva.x001328308	Is your name Mrs. George F. Bates, then?"
uva.x001328308	It leads me to ask what is a highly reputable firm?
uva.x001328308	It may have been privately found and removed by someone — who knows?
uva.x001328308	It was at Bagot's bidding that he strove to kidnap me""Your brother — was he the motorist?"
uva.x001328308	Jenkins — you do n't mean to say you burnt the parchment that disinher- ited me?"
uva.x001328308	Jenkins, indeed, was so correct a servant, that this seemed un- likely; but why was the man pale?
uva.x001328308	Just between the barge and the bank?"
uva.x001328308	Just see if you can ship this end again, will you?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh mentioned your name, sir, to be sure, 2 The Circumstances but — er — not exactly — that is — you remember his peculiar way, sir?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh?"
uva.x001328308	Leigh?"
uva.x001328308	May I have my revolver, Furneaux?
uva.x001328308	May Mr. Bagot possibly have been here at any time to- day or yesterday?
uva.x001328308	Mr. Fensham at the railway?"
uva.x001328308	Not X Y 302?"
uva.x001328308	Now, what shall I do with Hinton's letter?"
uva.x001328308	Of course, Leigh, you will not let them?"
uva.x001328308	One shoots one, two, or three — the number is imma- terial — what better retreat could the shooter have than this very chamber?
uva.x001328308	Or did he in his heart believe Arthur to be innocent, and warn him so as to suggest safety in flight to him?
uva.x001328308	Or had he some motive for getting rid of Arthur, for keeping back Arthur's evidence from the inquest?
uva.x001328308	Or is it that there was no post to Burnham after your return home last night?
uva.x001328308	Presently, starting, he said:"Where are we tearing to on this night- ride, any- way?
uva.x001328308	Queer name, eh?"
uva.x001328308	She showed the depth of her distress by a sudden question:"When did you hear from that man — father?"
uva.x001328308	So Master Harry was carrying off his sister when you fired at him; or was it at the motor?"
uva.x001328308	So had n't you better tell me everything, and let us see if we can not between us find a way out?"
uva.x001328308	So it is at the bottom of the Parret?
uva.x001328308	So the car stopped, of course, and did n't'pass'after all?"
uva.x001328308	So what do you make of it?"
uva.x001328308	So, you had not then, it seems, received a note which Mr. Dix wrote to you on the 8th of the month?"
uva.x001328308	Still — on what conditions was the help offered, if I may ask?"
uva.x001328308	Suppose I keep you in here, lock you up in a top room of that tower there, and never let you out till your dying day?"
uva.x001328308	Sure you would recognize him again?"
uva.x001328308	Surely you have heard tell that there has never been a mis- tress of the Abbey Manor?"
uva.x001328308	Tell me, then — why did my grandfather hate my mother?"
uva.x001328308	The gentleman, you say, whom I saw with you?"
uva.x001328308	The greatest change is in my- self, I suppose?"
uva.x001328308	The trail — can you tell us nothing as to that?"
uva.x001328308	Then she said:"Do you not happen to know who Mr. Bagot is?
uva.x001328308	Though of heavy build, did he walk nimbly?
uva.x001328308	Was he murdered?"
uva.x001328308	Was its owner, then, on the barge, since he was not elsewhere?
uva.x001328308	Was she not the Belle Damosel?
uva.x001328308	Was the messenger a trustworthy person?"
uva.x001328308	Was there any dispute at that time?"
uva.x001328308	Was this the beginning of the end for him?
uva.x001328308	Was this walling up of the passage one of the old man's"repairs"? — if so Jenkins must know some- thing of it.
uva.x001328308	We may say, then, that you have no scheme, have received no offer of help or co- operation from any person?"
uva.x001328308	What are you driving at?"
uva.x001328308	What can it matter?"
uva.x001328308	What caused his air of agitation, and shaky hands?
uva.x001328308	What causes you to dream that Mr. Dix is dead?"
uva.x001328308	What could be his motive?
uva.x001328308	What did Eliza say?"
uva.x001328308	What did it all mean?
uva.x001328308	What did the man want?
uva.x001328308	What do you say to that?"
uva.x001328308	What had hap- 223 By Force of Circumstances pened in the meantime to raise his bile?
uva.x001328308	What has happened to that brass case?"
uva.x001328308	What have you done?
uva.x001328308	What in the world were you and Furneaux doing in the Abbey grounds at that hour?
uva.x001328308	What is an arrest in a case like this?
uva.x001328308	What is the origin of it?
uva.x001328308	What is the result?
uva.x001328308	What more likely than that Bagot should have a small ex- perimental balloon to which he could attach a body but no car?
uva.x001328308	What name shall I say, sir?"
uva.x001328308	What possible deterrent is a policeman more or less in the world?
uva.x001328308	What time is it?"
uva.x001328308	What will everybody think of me?
uva.x001328308	What would he do now?
uva.x001328308	What, that ubiquitous little man! — he wishes me well?
uva.x001328308	When a real live Abbot took the trouble hundreds of years ago to make a verse about Leigh's lady, it ai n't likely he would be mistaken, now is it?"
uva.x001328308	When are the poor brutes exer- cised?"
uva.x001328308	When did you see him?"
uva.x001328308	When she wanted help, to whom did she come?
uva.x001328308	Where, though?"
uva.x001328308	Who else than that person had any motive to prevent you from receiving it?"
uva.x001328308	Whose revolver was it?"
uva.x001328308	Why are we going?"
uva.x001328308	Why are you spying on me, Fur- neaux?"
uva.x001328308	Why had Elinor warned him against Bagot and striven desperately to stop the granting of the lease?
uva.x001328308	Why should I?
uva.x001328308	Why should he not try?
uva.x001328308	Why should this delightful girl give herself to him?
uva.x001328308	Why the delay?
uva.x001328308	Why the devil do you come here hinting that I am a criminal?
uva.x001328308	Why was he so sure that Arthur would ultimately agree to his terms?
uva.x001328308	Why, he asked himself, was she acting with such double purpose?
uva.x001328308	Why, then, desire for such a genius the slow torture of the assizes?"
uva.x001328308	Will you come again, if I undertake to get all the stray bullet holes in me?"
uva.x001328308	Will you do this?"
uva.x001328308	Will you hand it over to me?"
uva.x001328308	Will you tell her that?"
uva.x001328308	Would Bagot, the enemy, counsel the same thing as Fur- neaux, the friend?
uva.x001328308	Would he won- der at the demand for a fire on a June night?
uva.x001328308	You grant him the lease of the Abbey?"
uva.x001328308	You have in your posses- sion no other object connected with this business?"
uva.x001328308	You have noticed the paragraph of his disappearance in the papers, and merely opine that he is dead — is that it?"
uva.x001328308	You were away at the time of his death; if about that time he made any repairs, you would not have been aware of them?"
uva.x001328308	You were not hit at all?"
uva.x001328308	You were too nervous, as you put it?"
uva.x001328308	You will not forget you met me here?"
uva.x001328308	You'll not be comin'my way?"
uva.x001328308	and how did you hear it then?"
uva.x001328308	and in a lower tone he added:"How is the luncheon going?"
uva.x001328308	and then,"But why should he not?"
uva.x001328308	exclaimed the detective blankly,"however did you manage to get into this scrape?"
uva.x001328308	growled Arthur with evident irritation,** and what can I do, if it can not be found?"
uva.x001328308	he cried, for the driver was well known to him,"did the young lady and her bicycle reach Burnham all right?"
uva.x001328308	he sighed,"the happiest days come first; do n't they, Jenkins?
uva.x001328308	no dog- cart?"
uva.x001328308	repeated Arthur, a little surprised at the question:"Personally, you mean?"
uva.x001328308	said Furneaux, like one lost in wonderment;"and then — what took place?"
uva.x001328308	said Furneaux,"and then — what took place?"
uva.x001328308	said he at last; to which she answered quite quietly, as though she had the fullest right to dispose of his actions:"You wo n't, of course?"
uva.x001328308	what barge is it?"
uva.x001328308	what's that?"
uva.x001328308	you are talking nonsense?
uva.x001650412	A — a permanent dismissal?
uva.x001650412	After all,she whispered,"what difference does tmake?"
uva.x001650412	Ai n't it cold and damp? uva.x001650412 Am I at the beck and call of every Tom, Dick, and Harry?"
uva.x001650412	And Woodford's dressing- room?
uva.x001650412	And have you a flashlight?
uva.x001650412	And no one called him over the telephone?
uva.x001650412	And that's all you heard? uva.x001650412 And what had it to say for itself?"
uva.x001650412	And where was the figure?
uva.x001650412	And you'd take your oath you really pressed the control when your flashlight would n't work?
uva.x001650412	Anything I can do?
uva.x001650412	Anyway, you're certain,McHugh went on,"that you've told me every little thing?"
uva.x001650412	Are n't 200 THE HOUSE OF FEAR you trying to give me the impression you do n't want Wilkins to know about Dolly's scare with the tele- phone?
uva.x001650412	Are we going back?
uva.x001650412	Are you afraid,he asked later,"that when we find Wilkins he will be like Carlton — dead?"
uva.x001650412	Are you still a good detective? uva.x001650412 Barbara,"he burst out,"what is it?
uva.x001650412	Been in yet, Tommy?
uva.x001650412	Been playing with Dory's cat? uva.x001650412 Busy?"
uva.x001650412	But did n't you have enough evidence then?
uva.x001650412	But the lights?
uva.x001650412	But the motive?
uva.x001650412	But where's the one of the big scene? uva.x001650412 Ca n't diagnose it, eh?"
uva.x001650412	Ca n't we go? uva.x001650412 Ca n't you leave me alone?
uva.x001650412	Can we go now?
uva.x001650412	Can we go on with the rehearsal, or will I have to send out to a fur store for a pussy?
uva.x001650412	Caught cold, Quaile?
uva.x001650412	Certainly, if you wish,Quaile said,"but would n't he think it queer?"
uva.x001650412	Clothes all right?
uva.x001650412	Coming, Quaile?
uva.x001650412	Could I have a glass of water?
uva.x001650412	Could n't you see who it was?
uva.x001650412	Did Mike mention anything about a cat — the way he acted the night of Woodford's death?
uva.x001650412	Did Wilkins say anything last night? uva.x001650412 Did you expect to find him?"
uva.x001650412	Did you see anything?
uva.x001650412	Did you tell him how many were waiting?
uva.x001650412	Do n't you see you've got to tell me?
uva.x001650412	Do n't you suppose she understands,McHugh asked fiercely,"that if she fails me I'm beaten?"
uva.x001650412	Do you ever wish to go back?
uva.x001650412	Do you know how long he's been dead, Mike?
uva.x001650412	Does he know Miss Morgan's outside?
uva.x001650412	Does n't my question come first?
uva.x001650412	Ever see such an advance sale? uva.x001650412 Find out anything?"
uva.x001650412	Go back? uva.x001650412 Going to throw it over?"
uva.x001650412	Got the nerve to tell me out here that they ever come back?
uva.x001650412	Has n't it an odour?
uva.x001650412	Has n't the smell of this place ever bothered you?
uva.x001650412	Have you any ideas?
uva.x001650412	Have you any one in sight?
uva.x001650412	Have you been fooling with spiritualists? uva.x001650412 Have you noticed?"
uva.x001650412	Have you told McHugh?
uva.x001650412	He left alone at eight o'clock? uva.x001650412 He's-- dead?"
uva.x001650412	How are you so sure?
uva.x001650412	How can you think that? uva.x001650412 How did Mike see the — the thing?"
uva.x001650412	How did she guess?
uva.x001650412	How did they come?
uva.x001650412	How do you feel about your night's job now?
uva.x001650412	How long before we came in did you hear the footsteps?
uva.x001650412	How were you so sure,McHugh asked,"that there was somebody in the room?"
uva.x001650412	How you feel?
uva.x001650412	How you feel?
uva.x001650412	I could n't believe it at the time, and, as a matter of fact, who was there to lower it or to raise it again?
uva.x001650412	I do n't suppose There's no earthly use my asking what you talked about?
uva.x001650412	I do n't, do n't I? uva.x001650412 I suppose you'll charge for this?"
uva.x001650412	I'm not forcing my welcome?
uva.x001650412	If I remember, was n't there rather too much atmosphere the last time they had it open?
uva.x001650412	If I should give it to you,she said,"the right to ask those questions?"
uva.x001650412	If I should tell you one truth would you trust me and let the others go?
uva.x001650412	In a hurry?
uva.x001650412	In that case,Quaile took him up,"maybe you'll tell me what makes you so cheerful?"
uva.x001650412	Is it quite fair?
uva.x001650412	Is it the dark that makes you hesitate?
uva.x001650412	Is it the telephone?
uva.x001650412	Is n't it a splendid hour for tea?
uva.x001650412	Is n't it enough to have another man die on the property? uva.x001650412 Is n't that atmosphere?
uva.x001650412	Is she here yet?
uva.x001650412	Is that it?
uva.x001650412	It is n't too late? uva.x001650412 Just what do you mean?"
uva.x001650412	Let- ters?
uva.x001650412	Maybe you'll tell us why?
uva.x001650412	Mean to say Carlton gave you that, too?
uva.x001650412	Mike,he said,"you're sure you've had no word from Miss Morgan?
uva.x001650412	No harm,Quaile agreed,"but where's the good?"
uva.x001650412	No signs of a cat?
uva.x001650412	No word from our slave- driver?
uva.x001650412	Not going to let the lights go out to- day, Mike?
uva.x001650412	Number, please?
uva.x001650412	Or hold the lease?
uva.x001650412	Quaile,McHugh asked,"you'd take your oath you saw Tommy shut and lock that door last night?"
uva.x001650412	Same old boards, but where's Bertrand Wood- ford who used to rule us with an iron hand?
uva.x001650412	Say anything about to- night?
uva.x001650412	Say, Mr. Quaile, you wo n't think I fall for any of this back from Woodlawn stuff?
uva.x001650412	Say, how long did you hang on at Barbara's last night?
uva.x001650412	Say, you'd look like a fool, would n't you, if you reported this case at headquarters?
uva.x001650412	See here, McHugh, after last night and this — this mad picture, are you going on with the revival? uva.x001650412 Shall we have more light?"
uva.x001650412	So Mr. McHugh's going to try to give that performance to- night after all?
uva.x001650412	So he's going on?
uva.x001650412	So you've suddenly become a ghost worshipper, too? uva.x001650412 Sup- pose I've been caught off post?"
uva.x001650412	Suppose I was afraid? uva.x001650412 Suppose I was?"
uva.x001650412	Surely you have n't put Wilkins there?
uva.x001650412	Surely,Quaile said,"Mike is n't such a fool as to think he saw anything?"
uva.x001650412	Tell me what you mean?
uva.x001650412	Tell me why you do that?
uva.x001650412	That really concerns you?
uva.x001650412	The Society for Psychical Research?
uva.x001650412	The cat?
uva.x001650412	The future means nothing to you?
uva.x001650412	The ghosts?
uva.x001650412	The same gallery,she said,"but where are the young people who used to sit in it and applaud me?"
uva.x001650412	Then what about McHugh?
uva.x001650412	Then what are you doing in their house?
uva.x001650412	Then what you looking so glum about?
uva.x001650412	Then who is in there? uva.x001650412 Then why are you so sure?"
uva.x001650412	Then why were you there? uva.x001650412 Then you heard the footsteps, too, Quaile?"
uva.x001650412	Then you've noticed it yourself?
uva.x001650412	Then,he asked,"you'll tell me who is in there?"
uva.x001650412	Then,she said,"you fired the shot?"
uva.x001650412	Then,the policeman said bluntly,"the only evidence of a man is footsteps you thought you heard in the dark?"
uva.x001650412	There's no hitch?
uva.x001650412	They're good?
uva.x001650412	Think I can be beaten by shadows?
uva.x001650412	This has upset your calculations?
uva.x001650412	To get the police after Wilkins?
uva.x001650412	Was I right when I said two, Barbara?
uva.x001650412	Was it an accident or a party?
uva.x001650412	Was it?
uva.x001650412	Was n't that your wish?
uva.x001650412	Well? uva.x001650412 Well?
uva.x001650412	Well?
uva.x001650412	Well?
uva.x001650412	Were you by any chance talking to yourself?
uva.x001650412	What about Carlton's death?
uva.x001650412	What about her, McHugh?
uva.x001650412	What about it now?
uva.x001650412	What about it now?
uva.x001650412	What about your brother?
uva.x001650412	What am I to do?
uva.x001650412	What am I to think of you? uva.x001650412 What are you doing here?"
uva.x001650412	What are you doing that for?
uva.x001650412	What are you doing with that light?
uva.x001650412	What are you driving at?
uva.x001650412	What are you going to answer?
uva.x001650412	What are you going to do to me?
uva.x001650412	What are you going to do?
uva.x001650412	What are you talking about?
uva.x001650412	What are you trying to say?
uva.x001650412	What d'ye mean about feeling and hearing? uva.x001650412 What did you hear?"
uva.x001650412	What did you think you saw?
uva.x001650412	What do you mean?
uva.x001650412	What do you suppose?
uva.x001650412	What do you think I hired you for?
uva.x001650412	What do you think, Quaile? uva.x001650412 What does he say?
uva.x001650412	What does it mean?
uva.x001650412	What ever for? uva.x001650412 What for besides the light?"
uva.x001650412	What had you been doing, Bunce — I mean, just before you heard this thing like Woodford walk- ing?
uva.x001650412	What has he told you?
uva.x001650412	What hit you, Quaile?
uva.x001650412	What is it, McHugh? uva.x001650412 What is it?
uva.x001650412	What is it?
uva.x001650412	What is it?
uva.x001650412	What is one to think?
uva.x001650412	What more could have happened?
uva.x001650412	What of it?
uva.x001650412	What the devil you want, Ethel?
uva.x001650412	What the devil? uva.x001650412 What was that?"
uva.x001650412	What were you doing in there without light?
uva.x001650412	What were you doing in there?
uva.x001650412	What word do you want?
uva.x001650412	What would be the use?
uva.x001650412	What you doing here?
uva.x001650412	What you mean — the parting of the ways?
uva.x001650412	What you mean?
uva.x001650412	What you mean?
uva.x001650412	What you want of it, McHugh?
uva.x001650412	What's become of Dolly?
uva.x001650412	What's frettin'you, Dolly?
uva.x001650412	What's happened here?
uva.x001650412	What's that for?
uva.x001650412	What's that? uva.x001650412 What's the bluff for?"
uva.x001650412	What's there to be afraid of out here except trolley cars and automobiles and confidence men and thugs? uva.x001650412 What's this?"
uva.x001650412	What's this?
uva.x001650412	What's up now, Quaile?
uva.x001650412	What's up now?
uva.x001650412	What's up, Dolly? uva.x001650412 What's up, Watson?"
uva.x001650412	What's your idea?
uva.x001650412	What?
uva.x001650412	Where did all this fairy- book stuff come from?
uva.x001650412	Where did you stand when you fired?
uva.x001650412	Where the devil is he? uva.x001650412 Where you and Mike going, Tommy?"
uva.x001650412	Where you been, Carlton?
uva.x001650412	Where'd you see him last?
uva.x001650412	Where's Dolly's cat?
uva.x001650412	Where's Tommy Ball?
uva.x001650412	Where's Wilkins?
uva.x001650412	Where's the leading man?
uva.x001650412	Where's your script, Quaile?
uva.x001650412	Who are you?
uva.x001650412	Who's that coming now, sir?
uva.x001650412	Who, then? uva.x001650412 Why are n't we always rehearsed as pleasantly as this?"
uva.x001650412	Why are you afraid for me?
uva.x001650412	Why are you looking so upset to- day?
uva.x001650412	Why are you so sure?
uva.x001650412	Why did you risk Wilkins twice?
uva.x001650412	Why did you rush off?
uva.x001650412	Why do you ask, Mr. McHugh? uva.x001650412 Why do you glance around like that?"
uva.x001650412	Why do you single me out?
uva.x001650412	Why do you stare at me?
uva.x001650412	Why not? uva.x001650412 Why this sudden attack of nerves?"
uva.x001650412	Why were you prowling up there?
uva.x001650412	Why,he asked,"did you resent my speaking to you?"
uva.x001650412	Why?
uva.x001650412	Why?
uva.x001650412	Why?
uva.x001650412	Why?
uva.x001650412	Why?
uva.x001650412	Wilkins?
uva.x001650412	Will you be able to get out unseen?
uva.x001650412	Will you go now?
uva.x001650412	Will you please bring his hat and coat?
uva.x001650412	Will you promise me not to brood over what you heard and saw?
uva.x001650412	Without a word?
uva.x001650412	Would a coward have gone in there alone at night?
uva.x001650412	Would n't it yours?
uva.x001650412	Yes,he said,"but that cry?
uva.x001650412	You are straight, Mr. McHugh, are n't you? uva.x001650412 You can grasp now the position in which you put me last night?
uva.x001650412	You did n't lock it?
uva.x001650412	You did n't smell that perfume again — what Dolly says is the ghost of the perfume Woodford used?
uva.x001650412	You did n't stop at the club for a drink, Wilkins?
uva.x001650412	You do n't ask us to take this seriously as — as supernormal?
uva.x001650412	You do n't believe in them really?
uva.x001650412	You do n't mean there's something wrong with that?
uva.x001650412	You do n't own the building?
uva.x001650412	You do n't think I want to believe the other? uva.x001650412 You found it exactly where you dropped it?"
uva.x001650412	You got him?
uva.x001650412	You know the Bunces?
uva.x001650412	You live here alone?
uva.x001650412	You make all that fuss just because the light went out?
uva.x001650412	You mean,she whispered,"that I have to go on?"
uva.x001650412	You mean?
uva.x001650412	You mean?
uva.x001650412	You saw nobody, Watson — nobody coming down the steps or from the kitchen entrance?
uva.x001650412	You say you ate dinner at Quaile's apartment?
uva.x001650412	You say, Dolly, it reminds you of the perfume Woodford used?
uva.x001650412	You think it safe, McHugh?
uva.x001650412	You will take her to her dressing- room?
uva.x001650412	You wo n't be long? uva.x001650412 You wo n't explain?"
uva.x001650412	You wo n't misunderstand then? uva.x001650412 You wo n't take chances here, Mr. Quaile, with such forces?"
uva.x001650412	You'd swear there was no one else?
uva.x001650412	You'll let me tell you?
uva.x001650412	You'll try to urge him on?
uva.x001650412	You're not somebody else?
uva.x001650412	You're sure?
uva.x001650412	You've heard superstitious talk about Woodford's?
uva.x001650412	You've not forgotten me, Miss Morgan?
uva.x001650412	'If I remember, was n't there rather too much atmosphere the last time they had it open?'"
uva.x001650412	'Say, what's the matter with you, anyway?
uva.x001650412	136 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"You mean?"
uva.x001650412	168 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"What's the idea?"
uva.x001650412	20"'Say, what's the matter with you, anyway?
uva.x001650412	231 232 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"You've not forgotten that you love me — that you — promised to trust me?
uva.x001650412	248 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"You mean,"Quaile asked with dry lips,"that you would accept that as the final proof against her?"
uva.x001650412	286 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"I want to know, doc, if I can get the man to my automobile and home?"
uva.x001650412	A clairvoyant one?"
uva.x001650412	After all McHugh was the only likely person, for who else had known certainly of his intention to remain in the theatre?
uva.x001650412	Ai n't you more pride about buying hats than that?
uva.x001650412	Am I that old?"
uva.x001650412	And now this But, Mr. McHugh, how do you dare speak of a practical joke?
uva.x001650412	And why could n't the rest of it have come from her?"
uva.x001650412	Any word from the telephone company?"
uva.x001650412	Are n't you ashamed of yourself?
uva.x001650412	Are you trying to say it would be murder to send another man on in Carlton's place?"
uva.x001650412	Barbara demanded hyster- ically,"the steps like Woodford's, the cat, the things that happened when you were alone — of which you wo n't tell me?"
uva.x001650412	Boss here yet?
uva.x001650412	Bunce?"
uva.x001650412	But did that cover his purpose?
uva.x001650412	CHAPTER XVm THE CLAWS OF THE UNSEEN CAT WEAT is it you wish?"
uva.x001650412	Ca n't you be honest?
uva.x001650412	Ca n't you get Mike's state of mind?
uva.x001650412	Ca n't you get a disappointed expression, Wilkins?
uva.x001650412	Ca n't you get us through, Mr. Quaile?
uva.x001650412	Ca n't you guess how that puzzles and hurts me?"
uva.x001650412	Can any- body say they do n't exist?"
uva.x001650412	Coming uptown, Quaile?
uva.x001650412	Could the fact that Carlton had broken down and retreated at such a point suggest more than coincidence?
uva.x001650412	Could there have been between Barbara and him a sympathy concealed from the rest of the world?
uva.x001650412	Dare I ask if you're certain the rest of the company will stick?"
uva.x001650412	Did n't you have an education?
uva.x001650412	Did n't you hear anything?"
uva.x001650412	Did that suggest an answer?
uva.x001650412	Did you see anything?
uva.x001650412	Did you?"
uva.x001650412	Do I seem as rotten a detective as that?"
uva.x001650412	Do n't you know that's the first necessity for a good detective?
uva.x001650412	Do you think he's ever coming?"
uva.x001650412	Do you think that would help here?"
uva.x001650412	Do you, or do n't you, know anything about Woodford's ghost?"
uva.x001650412	Does anybody know?
uva.x001650412	Eh?
uva.x001650412	Ever hear of Raleigh Joyce, the English high- brow that's lectur- ing up at Columbia?"
uva.x001650412	Ever see such a blame fool?"
uva.x001650412	Had it any deeper significance?
uva.x001650412	Has he got to manufacture ghost stories to advertise his show?"
uva.x001650412	Have n't you any manners?"
uva.x001650412	Have n't you got a blush left?
uva.x001650412	Have n't you known me long enough?
uva.x001650412	Have n't you read the papers?
uva.x001650412	Have we got to fall for that?
uva.x001650412	Have we got to let Carlton's death remain a crying mystery?"
uva.x001650412	Have you found a material basis?"
uva.x001650412	He's a doctor?"
uva.x001650412	How about the mystic regions back?"
uva.x001650412	How is Mr. Wilkins?
uva.x001650412	How long have you waited?"
uva.x001650412	I suppose, Mike, you could n't tell me what it smelled like?
uva.x001650412	I — I You're not hurt?"
uva.x001650412	Is it unnatural I should do that when I love you?"
uva.x001650412	Is n't it ridic- ulous?"
uva.x001650412	Is n't it unkind to remind me of my cowardice?"
uva.x001650412	Is n't that enough?"
uva.x001650412	It is n't adver- tising?"
uva.x001650412	It's you that's been playing tricks with my property?"
uva.x001650412	Jealous of his style?
uva.x001650412	Lights were O. K. Then how did that border go out?"
uva.x001650412	McHugh noddedi 162 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"Who was on the stage when that picture was taken?"
uva.x001650412	McHugh?"
uva.x001650412	McHugh?"
uva.x001650412	McHugh?"
uva.x001650412	McHugh?"
uva.x001650412	McHugh?"
uva.x001650412	Met Mr. Quaile, Miss Morgan?
uva.x001650412	Might I go?
uva.x001650412	Mr. Quaile, has the doctor said anything yet?"
uva.x001650412	Mr. Wilkins is n't with you?"
uva.x001650412	No matter what happens — you understand?
uva.x001650412	Not likely to wake before morning, is he, doc?"
uva.x001650412	Now good- bye, and you have had warning enough, have n't 158 THE HOUSE OF FEAR you?
uva.x001650412	Now what have you got to say for yourself, bringing a bad name on our property?"
uva.x001650412	Of what use could that be?
uva.x001650412	Or are you only trying to make me angry so I'll go?
uva.x001650412	Or have you heard something?"
uva.x001650412	Or maybe you've seen him this morning?"
uva.x001650412	Police got you, eh?
uva.x001650412	Quaile saw Dolly enter the 176 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"Then why did you go to him at all?"
uva.x001650412	Quaile went closer in time to hear McHugh's gruff inquiry:"What's the answer?"
uva.x001650412	Quaile?"
uva.x001650412	Rehearsing Liberty enlightening the world?"
uva.x001650412	Say, Quaile, after all the uncertainty we've suffered down there, is n't that enough to make a man cheerful?"
uva.x001650412	Say, what's going on back there?
uva.x001650412	Say, what's the matter with you, anyway?
uva.x001650412	Say, you have n't felt anything like that this morning?"
uva.x001650412	Say, you have n't got an extra bedroom in your flat?"
uva.x001650412	See any signs of Mr. Carlton out there?"
uva.x001650412	Shall we consider it settled?"
uva.x001650412	Shall we go on?"
uva.x001650412	She could n't have telephoned without your knowing it?"
uva.x001650412	Should I say, what, then?"
uva.x001650412	So you're McHugh, the show man?
uva.x001650412	Some- thing happened that made you afraid, or why did you fire your pistol?"
uva.x001650412	Suppose I call up my apartment?"
uva.x001650412	Suppose Robert, Josiah, or the butler had discovered her and turned her over, as those men would, to the authorities for punishment?
uva.x001650412	Suppose it was dangerous?
uva.x001650412	Suppose that remote and unaccountable ringing should fill his ears again?
uva.x001650412	THE HOUSE OF FEAR 11"By the way, you're not afraid of ghosts?"
uva.x001650412	THE HOUSE OF FEAR 201"And how did it get unlocked?"
uva.x001650412	THE HOUSE OF FEAR 297"The rest of the company?"
uva.x001650412	THE HOUSE OF FEAR 39"You got a little start yourself, Tommy, did n't you?
uva.x001650412	Tell me first: Do you know anything?
uva.x001650412	Tell me one thing honestly: am I in any way to blame for this?"
uva.x001650412	That man has been hurt?"
uva.x001650412	That's nothing much to be afraid of, is it?"
uva.x001650412	The expression 256 THE HOUSE OF FEAR She spoke through chattering teeth:"In which dressing- room did my maid leave my things?"
uva.x001650412	The same drug was responsible?"
uva.x001650412	The wire hummed until the central girl cut in with her curt demand:"Number, please?"
uva.x001650412	Then she came or I do n't know"144 THE HOUSE OF FEAR"She came, eh?"
uva.x001650412	Think I sit still when things go wrong?
uva.x001650412	This lady — will she remain and help me?
uva.x001650412	Under- stand, you men?
uva.x001650412	Was it possible she^had gone to the Bunces to urge them to break the lease?
uva.x001650412	Was n't he a star?
uva.x001650412	Was n't it over there where you stood?"
uva.x001650412	Was that tragedy in itself sufficient reason?
uva.x001650412	Well?
uva.x001650412	Well?
uva.x001650412	What I've just said to Wilkins is fair enough, is n't it?
uva.x001650412	What about him?"
uva.x001650412	What are you driving at, McHugh?"
uva.x001650412	What are you going to do to me?"
uva.x001650412	What are you going to do to me?"
uva.x001650412	What are you going to do to me?"
uva.x001650412	What are you staring at?"
uva.x001650412	What do they call it?"
uva.x001650412	What do those sobs mean?"
uva.x001650412	What do you think's biting him, Quaile?"
uva.x001650412	What does it want?"
uva.x001650412	What if something like that should happen again?
uva.x001650412	What is it?"
uva.x001650412	What more do you want?"
uva.x001650412	What plans had she made since the conquest of her hysteria?
uva.x001650412	What say, Dolly?
uva.x001650412	What scared you?"
uva.x001650412	What were Barbara's thoughts before their precarious drift?
uva.x001650412	What you blushing about, Barbara?
uva.x001650412	What you mean by begging Wilkins to throw over the part — talking about madness and suicide?
uva.x001650412	What you talking about?
uva.x001650412	What you want?
uva.x001650412	What'd you see?"
uva.x001650412	What's a cat or two where half a million's concerned?"
uva.x001650412	What's happened?
uva.x001650412	What's happened?
uva.x001650412	What's the girl doing here?"
uva.x001650412	What's the idea?
uva.x001650412	What's the matter with Tommy?"
uva.x001650412	When will this be ended — this wait- ing without knowing?
uva.x001650412	When?
uva.x001650412	Where can we all get together?"
uva.x001650412	Where the deuce you been?"
uva.x001650412	Where the devil's Carlton?
uva.x001650412	Where's the key?"
uva.x001650412	Where?"
uva.x001650412	Which is her dressing- room?"
uva.x001650412	Which is his room?"
uva.x001650412	Who are you?"
uva.x001650412	Who locked that door?
uva.x001650412	Who raised that curtain?
uva.x001650412	Who's that?
uva.x001650412	Why did you come here?"
uva.x001650412	Why do n't you air the place out?"
uva.x001650412	Why else you suppose I dolled myself up this way?
uva.x001650412	Why had he involved Quaile in such a curious enterprise?
uva.x001650412	Why had they let him go on to the point where Woodford had died, the point from which, justly or unjustly, he had clearly shrunk?
uva.x001650412	Why in the name of heaven could n't you stay on your job to- night?"
uva.x001650412	Why is n't she here?
uva.x001650412	Why not if he was so sure the house was empty?
uva.x001650412	Why not?"
uva.x001650412	Why should he bring him here a second time?
uva.x001650412	Why should he wish him to talk to Wilkins except as a defence against the supernatural?
uva.x001650412	Why then had he summoned the man?
uva.x001650412	Why you so talkative, Quaile?"
uva.x001650412	Why?
uva.x001650412	Why?"
uva.x001650412	Wilkins?"
uva.x001650412	Wilkins?"
uva.x001650412	Will somebody ring down?"
uva.x001650412	Will you go now?"
uva.x001650412	Will you kindly clear these newspaper men out of here?
uva.x001650412	Will you never care for my justification?"
uva.x001650412	Will you produce'Coward's Fare'in Woodford's Theatre?"
uva.x001650412	Would n't it be the decent thing for you to explain your absurd suspicion of her?"
uva.x001650412	Yet what could conceivably happen?
uva.x001650412	You and Watson found nothing?"
uva.x001650412	You been dreaming?"
uva.x001650412	You believe that?"
uva.x001650412	You do n't mean to say you've persuaded Wilkins?"
uva.x001650412	You feel I dare beard the lion?"
uva.x001650412	You feel the — the cat?"
uva.x001650412	You found something up there?"
uva.x001650412	You gave THE HOUSE OF FEAR 139"You wo n't go in until I get back with a police- man?"
uva.x001650412	You hear that?"
uva.x001650412	You rec- ollect how Wilkins came up here night before last and told us about that time simply dropped out of his life?"
uva.x001650412	You see — there on the treads?"
uva.x001650412	You there?
uva.x001650412	You think it wo n't be long now?"
uva.x001650412	You understand?
uva.x001650412	You wasting my time to talk about moving pictures?"
uva.x001650412	You were a fine boy then — Woodford's right bower, were n't you?
uva.x001650412	You wo n't credit me with manufacturing ghosts?
uva.x001650412	You wo n't let anybody know I'm here?"
uva.x001650412	You wo n't let them know I'm here?"
uva.x001650412	You wo n't take any more chances with Wood- ford's?"
uva.x001650412	You'd swear the voice sounded like Woodford's?"
uva.x001650412	You'd testify to that under oath?"
uva.x001650412	You'll be- lieve I am afraid of the theatre — oh, how horribly afraid?
uva.x001650412	You'll not treasure my bad manners?"
uva.x001650412	You're kicking us out, eh?"
uva.x001650412	You're not playing tricks on me?
uva.x001650412	You're not telling me it ca n't be done?"
uva.x001650412	You're not — you're not preparing to take chances with Woodford's?"
uva.x001650412	You've had no feelings like that?
uva.x001307857	( So simple as to sound comic, is n't it? uva.x001307857 :"About what?"
uva.x001307857	About- about Archie? uva.x001307857 Ah, that you, Spen- cer?
uva.x001307857	All got confused but trustworthy alibis? uva.x001307857 And, ” said Anthony benignantly, “ what about'em all?
uva.x001307857	Any other papers on to it yet?
uva.x001307857	Be you a'tective, sir? ” he asked in a conspiratorial wheeze. uva.x001307857 But — but whatever of? ”.
uva.x001307857	But- but where's Archie? uva.x001307857 By the way, did you tell Williams to get on with that padding?
uva.x001307857	By the way, on that walk of yours last night, that awkward walk, did you meet any one? uva.x001307857 By the way, you did n't do it, did you?".
uva.x001307857	Did he ever mention the persistent attacks of these three papers? ”No."
uva.x001307857	Did it make this mark? ” he asked. uva.x001307857 Did you read those — those letters? ” The words came tumbling from her lips in almost unseemly haste.
uva.x001307857	Did you want to see him?
uva.x001307857	Do you know,he asked, leaning forward,"the name of this woman? ”.
uva.x001307857	Dodo Mainwaring, eh? uva.x001307857 Enough, are n't they, sir? ” “ Yes,"murmured Anthony.
uva.x001307857	Fan- tods wo n't do any good, will they? uva.x001307857 Feeling better, Loo dar- ling? ” she asked.
uva.x001307857	Forgotten something? ” he said. uva.x001307857 Hallo,"he said two minutes later, “ is that Colonel Gethryn's flat? ” “ It is, ” said the telephone.
uva.x001307857	Have n't you heard of contraptions to open doors? uva.x001307857 Have you told me all you know? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	Help you?
uva.x001307857	How did the inquest go? uva.x001307857 How? ”"Your caution, brother, is commendable; but I think you know what I mean.
uva.x001307857	I say, have you seen the Bow and Arrow?
uva.x001307857	I tried again: ‘ Was the chair that big arm- chair? uva.x001307857 I was just thinking of you. ”"Really?"
uva.x001307857	Is it Colonel Gethryn? uva.x001307857 Is it a trunk- call? ” he added.
uva.x001307857	Is it possible for me to see Miss Hoode this afternoon? ” “'Fraid not. uva.x001307857 Is it?"
uva.x001307857	Is n't that last sentence rather dangerous, Mr.* Hastings? ”Hm- er- I do n't know — er- yes, you're right, Miss Warren.
uva.x001307857	Is there nothing,she said,"that my brother and I can help you with further?
uva.x001307857	Mr. Hastings, ” she said, turning quickly, “ what does that last bit mean? uva.x001307857 Mrs. Mainwaring? ” he said.
uva.x001307857	Must I force your hand? ” he asked. uva.x001307857 No finger- prints, you said? ”"Except on the wood- rasp, absolutely none but those of the deceased, sir.
uva.x001307857	No? uva.x001307857 Now what about young Deacon?
uva.x001307857	Oh, it's you, is it, Gethryn? ” he said. uva.x001307857 Oh, the doctor's with him, is he?
uva.x001307857	Please,said the small voice, “ will you let me go? ” “ No!"
uva.x001307857	Say when,she said, and when he had said it: “ Soda? ”"Please- a little. ” He took the glass from her hand and tasted.
uva.x001307857	See what I mean? ”I do, Boyd, I do.
uva.x001307857	Shall I go, dear? ” Dora asked placidly. uva.x001307857 So that's the murderer, is it?
uva.x001307857	So you're a botanist? uva.x001307857 Think of what, sir? ” asked Boyd.
uva.x001307857	To see Jim? uva.x001307857 Well, what impression has she made on you, Gethryn? ”.
uva.x001307857	Were n't you at the inquest?
uva.x001307857	Were you at Abbotshall this morning? ” came in a small meek voice from beside him. uva.x001307857 What about those finger- prints? ” he asked sud- denly.
uva.x001307857	What are we to do? uva.x001307857 What did you find? ” Anthony snapped, laying a reassuring hand on the white shoulder beside him.
uva.x001307857	What did you go into the room for? ” Anthony shot out the question. uva.x001307857 What is the matter, dear?
uva.x001307857	What shall we do?
uva.x001307857	What the devil are you? ” said a weak voice. uva.x001307857 What time was this excursion from the linen- closet? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	What time,he asked with affected carelessness,"did you go into the study? ”.
uva.x001307857	What was that message? uva.x001307857 What's happened? ” snapped the editor.
uva.x001307857	What's that? uva.x001307857 What's that?
uva.x001307857	What's that?' uva.x001307857 What's the matter? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	What's up, sir? ” Boyd was watching attentively. uva.x001307857 What?
uva.x001307857	When's the magistrate's court? ” he asked abruptly. uva.x001307857 Where are you going to stay? ” Anthony asked.
uva.x001307857	Where's the Bow- I mean the wood- rasp?
uva.x001307857	Where? ” “ Back to Marling.
uva.x001307857	Who is he? uva.x001307857 Who's that great red hulk of a sergeant?"
uva.x001307857	Who, ” said Anthony sharply, “ is Jimmy? ” With an effort so great that it hurt him to watch, she recovered. uva.x001307857 Why not? ”"But- but it's two o'clock, ” stammered Hastings.
uva.x001307857	Why the withering irony, Boyd? uva.x001307857 You do so love being mysterious, do n't you? ”"Touché!
uva.x001307857	You know?
uva.x001307857	You think — you dare to think I killed him? ” she cried in a dreadful whisper. uva.x001307857 You were going to the police- station, Miss Mas- terson? ” Anthony asked.
uva.x001307857	You're sure about this? ” he asked the telephone. uva.x001307857 You're sure? ” Anthony asked.
uva.x001307857	Your brother? uva.x001307857 'Deacon,'he said, ‘ er- um- er- um- don't you mention that little memento to — to any one, will you?' uva.x001307857 '”But you're going to find out, are n't you? ” “ I have hope, lady. ” The black eyes held the green ones for a long mo- ment.
uva.x001307857	210 THE RASP “ Miss Masterson in? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	286 288 THE RASP this morning about Mr. Gethryn really being Colonel Gethryn?
uva.x001307857	? hony loo one know.hough said, “ is that they're not to be destroyed until I give the word. ” He looked at her searchingly.
uva.x001307857	A Cabinet Minister murdered without a mystery?
uva.x001307857	A fret- saw or a pile- driver, they're all'one to me. ”"Did you notice the handle? ” Anthony asked.
uva.x001307857	About Deacon?"
uva.x001307857	About what I told you, sir? ”.
uva.x001307857	Agree? ”'Masterson nodded emphatically.
uva.x001307857	Amateurs, professionals, or both. ”"Funny you should ask that, Gethryn?
uva.x001307857	And above all, what did you hide in your flat bosom when you saw me?
uva.x001307857	And all those wonderful things he did in the war with the Secret What- d'you- call- it? ”"No,"said Lucia absently.
uva.x001307857	And have you left any other cards?
uva.x001307857	And if people do n't know there's going to be a murder, they ca n't very well all get up nice, smooth alibis, can they?"
uva.x001307857	And if you had n't, how was it you were n't surprised?
uva.x001307857	And is that her real name?
uva.x001307857	And one would hardly tackle that for pleasure, what?
uva.x001307857	And that's awkward, too, is n't it?
uva.x001307857	And was it facing the window with its back to the door?'
uva.x001307857	And was she here last night?
uva.x001307857	And what do you think?
uva.x001307857	And what had she been there for, outside that window of the study?
uva.x001307857	And where did She come in?
uva.x001307857	And whose are the finger- prints? ”.
uva.x001307857	And why were you so secret about it?
uva.x001307857	And why, in Heaven's name, since you did go there, did you choose to swim? ” Anthony conceived that questions would help.
uva.x001307857	And why, in the name of a name, had she said:"Who shot him?"
uva.x001307857	And why-he looked carefully about — were there no other such marks on the flagstones of the path?
uva.x001307857	And — and is n't there anything I can do?
uva.x001307857	And, as it was there, why should it look like a finger- print a hundred times enlarged?
uva.x001307857	Anthony nodded “ But what — what are you goin'to- to do about me?
uva.x001307857	Any of them do?
uva.x001307857	Any private suspicions of your own?
uva.x001307857	Anyhow, what about them? ” Boyd shook his head.
uva.x001307857	Anything you want?
uva.x001307857	Are n't you going to have it moved? ”.
uva.x001307857	Are n't you wet? ”.
uva.x001307857	Are you certain of this?'
uva.x001307857	Are you ready?"
uva.x001307857	As I asked you before, d'you ever read real detective stories?
uva.x001307857	As what could he have disguised the handle?
uva.x001307857	At the inquest. ” “ Never before?"
uva.x001307857	Besides, was there not work to be done?
uva.x001307857	Billiard- room?"
uva.x001307857	Books?
uva.x001307857	Boyd said stolidly: “ Well, sir?"
uva.x001307857	Briefly, are you with me in thinking that author and motive force are probably one and the same? ”.
uva.x001307857	Briggs?"
uva.x001307857	But go on: what about it? ” Masterson was searching feverishly.
uva.x001307857	But how did it get where I found it?
uva.x001307857	But how to explain the finger- prints?
uva.x001307857	But how?
uva.x001307857	But ought you to have wasted all that time? ”.
uva.x001307857	But tell me, how ill is he?".
uva.x001307857	But then you're by way of being rather a wonderful person, are n't you? ” “ You deceive yourself if you mean that, ” said Anthony.
uva.x001307857	But was n't Mr. Hastings a dear?
uva.x001307857	But was she beautiful?
uva.x001307857	But what about the wetness?
uva.x001307857	But what about- things in general, so to speak? ” THE STUDY 33 ole Anthony looked round the room.
uva.x001307857	But what d'you know about Vanda?
uva.x001307857	But what's all this about data?
uva.x001307857	But what?
uva.x001307857	But why should Brother want to shoot?
uva.x001307857	But why the hesitancy, the embarrassment?
uva.x001307857	But why, having stopped the clock, did he alter it?
uva.x001307857	But will you help me in my madness?
uva.x001307857	But, Gethryn, how was it you had n't heard about this?
uva.x001307857	By the way, I sup- pose you realised at the inquest how you'd been caught? ” Deacon smiled.
uva.x001307857	By the way, can I see him?"
uva.x001307857	By the way, when's the inquest?"
uva.x001307857	Calling on Lucia?
uva.x001307857	Can I come in?
uva.x001307857	Can we go and sit somewhere where we can talk? ” COCK ROBIN'S HOUSE 23"Certainly, my boy, certainly.
uva.x001307857	Can you unwind the red tape quickly? ”.
uva.x001307857	Dammit, woman, are you ever wrong about anything?"
uva.x001307857	Did n't know you knew her. ” THE RASP"Charming, is n't it?
uva.x001307857	Did you find anything — that you ex- pected to find?"
uva.x001307857	Did you see that? ” Anthony opened his eyes.
uva.x001307857	Did you warn your sister that Deacon would probably be arrested after the inquest? ”"I did.
uva.x001307857	Do n't you remember'Who killed Cock Robin'?
uva.x001307857	Do n't you see, Gethryn?
uva.x001307857	Do n't you think it was a nice message?
uva.x001307857	Do we leave England on Saturday?"
uva.x001307857	Do you suspect any one?"
uva.x001307857	Do you? ” Anthony laughed.
uva.x001307857	Does n't belong to the house, I suppose? ” “ As far as I can find out, sir, most certainly not. ” Boyd's tone was gloomy.
uva.x001307857	Does n't it look different to the others?"
uva.x001307857	D’you know the book I mean? ”"Is it one called Here and There"“ Yes, now who wrote it?
uva.x001307857	D’you know the book I mean? ”"Is it one called Here and There"“ Yes, now who wrote it?
uva.x001307857	D’you know the man? ”"I'm, well, interested in him. ”"Well, he's all right now, you know.
uva.x001307857	D’you mean: do I definitely suspect any one as being the murderer? ” THE RASP Anthony nodded.
uva.x001307857	D’you remember it beginning when you were taking the body away? ”.
uva.x001307857	D’you understand?
uva.x001307857	Feeling better? ” She beamed at him.
uva.x001307857	Food?
uva.x001307857	For why, in this dry weather, should the mark of her foot be there at all?
uva.x001307857	Found anythin'fresh? ”"Oh, well, you know"-Anthony waved vague hands.
uva.x001307857	Gaboriau, for instance?"
uva.x001307857	Get rid of the man who was helping him, eh?
uva.x001307857	Gethryn? ” “ Never a doubt, ” said Anthony, and shook the thing with vigour.
uva.x001307857	Got it?
uva.x001307857	Got it?"
uva.x001307857	Got that? ” “ Very good, sergeant. ”"If you see me at the house during the inquest do n't speak to me or do anything to attract attention to me.
uva.x001307857	Had she heard anything?
uva.x001307857	Has — is Archie in-in trouble? ” Sir Arthur laughed, and then grew grave again.
uva.x001307857	Hastings out? ” She opened her eyes at him.
uva.x001307857	Hastings? ”"Yes.
uva.x001307857	Have a look at the study?
uva.x001307857	Have n't we all suffered enough without this? ” The man was shaking.
uva.x001307857	Have you been talking to them? ”.
uva.x001307857	Have you only persuaded them that 292 THE RASP he did n't do it?
uva.x001307857	Have you thought- found something?"
uva.x001307857	He big 206 THE RASP Anthony muttered: “ Day after to- morrow, eh?
uva.x001307857	He fell silent, then said: “ I suppose those prints could n't be any one else's, could they? ”.
uva.x001307857	He is, is he?
uva.x001307857	He jumped for the telephone; asked for Greyne 23; was put through at once; thought: “ Wonder who'll answer?"
uva.x001307857	He knew why she had said, “ Who shot him?'
uva.x001307857	He must have touched the- the- what do they call the thing? ”.
uva.x001307857	He wanted- oh, what did he not want?
uva.x001307857	He was badly in love with the woman, why did n't he grab hold of her and tell her so?
uva.x001307857	He's a sort of as- sistant to Poole and was valet to the deceased. ” “ How did he answer when you questioned him? ” “ Very confused he was.
uva.x001307857	Heaven, am I tied to an idiot?"
uva.x001307857	Hoode?"
uva.x001307857	Hope you do n't mind my taking charge. ”"Mind?
uva.x001307857	How can I do that?
uva.x001307857	How can one help being curious?
uva.x001307857	How d'you know he is one, by the way?"
uva.x001307857	How did Miss Hoode come to be downstairs at ten past eleven?
uva.x001307857	How do you know these things?"
uva.x001307857	How kind of Archibaldi ” “ What's that, sir?"
uva.x001307857	How long before Deacon's moved to the county jail?"
uva.x001307857	How many times d’you see that given right? ”"Never, ” said Anthony.
uva.x001307857	How to approach the woman?
uva.x001307857	How, then, did he get the so- ordinary surroundings necessary to prevent awkward memories arising after- wards in the mind of Deacon?
uva.x001307857	I did n't mean that you — How can I ever thank you enough? ”"Thank me?
uva.x001307857	I did n't mean that you — How can I ever thank you enough? ”"Thank me?
uva.x001307857	I did n't say I did n't agree with you, did I? ” “ You did n't say so, sir, so to speak!"
uva.x001307857	I do n't know what it is, sir, but this case has got a nasty, puzzling sort of feel about it, so to speak. ”"A wood- rasp, eh?"
uva.x001307857	I have n't kept you waiting, have I? ” she asked.
uva.x001307857	I mean, is my evidence part of your case?
uva.x001307857	I ran to the river. ” “ Do you know, ” Anthony asked slowly, “ what time it was when you got back here?"
uva.x001307857	I say, Gethryn, are we mad?
uva.x001307857	I say, Gethryn, you're not going to — to cross- examine her, are you?
uva.x001307857	I say, would n't you like to write the story of my life?
uva.x001307857	I suppose that's a basis for a preliminary report, what?"
uva.x001307857	I suppose you've heard roughly what happened? ” “ Yes. ”"Much detail? ”"A wealth.
uva.x001307857	I suppose you've heard roughly what happened? ” “ Yes. ”"Much detail? ”"A wealth.
uva.x001307857	I suppose you've heard?
uva.x001307857	I wonder is he worthy of his luck? ” Sir Arthur smiled again.
uva.x001307857	I've been so very difficult, have n't I?
uva.x001307857	IRONS IN THE FIRE · 175 She cried:"How can I help worrying?
uva.x001307857	If I say that even if you killed Hoode and tell me so, I wo n't move in any way except to help you, will — you — tell- me- all- about-it?"
uva.x001307857	If it comes to that, why is she here at all? ” Sir Arthur made a wry face.
uva.x001307857	If you're ready, shall we start? ” He turned to the door.
uva.x001307857	In fact, it would require not merely a sudden jerk but a steady and lusty pull to move it, would n't it?"
uva.x001307857	Is it Bolshevism? ” they shrieked in letters two inches high.
uva.x001307857	Is it?
uva.x001307857	Is n't he coming, too?"
uva.x001307857	Is not all this well spoken, Boyd?"
uva.x001307857	Is that Mr. Gethryn?
uva.x001307857	Is that right?"
uva.x001307857	It does n't work out, does it?".
uva.x001307857	It'll be all right about his sister seeing him this evening?"
uva.x001307857	Just one or two little things? ”.
uva.x001307857	Know anything about'em?
uva.x001307857	May I go there first, please? ” To Brown's he took her, and waited with the car till she reappeared.
uva.x001307857	May I?
uva.x001307857	Me? ” Anthony laughed.
uva.x001307857	Miss Warren, I gather? ” 120 THE RASP “ Yes! ” cried the telephone.
uva.x001307857	Money? ” Belford nodded.
uva.x001307857	Mr. Gethryn, why all this curiosity? ”.
uva.x001307857	Never mind that, but tell me, did you know Hoode was keeping these cuttings? ”"No."
uva.x001307857	Not a tennis champion or a plus- four person as well, is she? ”"Oh, no.
uva.x001307857	Nothing that we can be made to do?
uva.x001307857	Nothing there any long ears at the exchange could make use of, was there?
uva.x001307857	Nothing?
uva.x001307857	Now where did you come from, Blackie dear?
uva.x001307857	Now where, recently, had he seen this un- usual and meticulous dative case?
uva.x001307857	Now, Miss Warren, if you would n't mind repeating the message? ” A pause.
uva.x001307857	Now, another thing: was the handle of the thing old and battered and worn at the edges and filthy and split? ” Sir Arthur smiled.
uva.x001307857	Now, do you know that your John Hoode is very like — to look at, I mean — one of his parents and not the other?"
uva.x001307857	Now, have you a telephone? ” “ Yes, yes, ” she said eagerly.
uva.x001307857	Now, have you seen that wood- rasp? ” “ Yes.
uva.x001307857	Now, what I interrupted you for: is there in the house a good collection of reference books? ” “ There is.
uva.x001307857	Now, what d'you know about the incom- parable Vanda? ” Deacon whistled.
uva.x001307857	Now, what doctor? ” Anthony said.
uva.x001307857	Now, what in hell do we do if Brother James turns out to be the dastardly assassin after all?
uva.x001307857	Now, when you were kneeling outside the window of Hoode's study, what did you see?
uva.x001307857	Now, why was she here, in front of the closed window?
uva.x001307857	Now?"
uva.x001307857	Of course, I've got a lot of inquiries afoot- but so far we've less than nothing to go on. ”"Anything stolen?"
uva.x001307857	Oh, Jack, Jack, why did n't you do this before? ” “ Frightened,"said Hastings.
uva.x001307857	Oh, do n't you see what it would mean if we helped to catch the murder?
uva.x001307857	Oh, it's the unerring Miss Warren, is it?
uva.x001307857	Oh, surely there is? ” For the second time that night Anthony lost his temper.
uva.x001307857	Oh, you must be?
uva.x001307857	Oh, you're all always there until after midnight, are you?
uva.x001307857	One does n't sit down at one's desk to resist a man one thinks is going to kill one, does one?
uva.x001307857	Or both? ” he thought.
uva.x001307857	Or fear?
uva.x001307857	Or have you shown them the person that really did? ” “ The second, ” Anthony said, covertly feasting his eyes.
uva.x001307857	Or is this all a bloody nightmare?
uva.x001307857	Or say?"
uva.x001307857	Or this morning, quite innocent like?
uva.x001307857	Or why they were there? ” In silence, Deacon read each slip.
uva.x001307857	Or wo n't he?
uva.x001307857	Or would that spoil the marks? ” Boyd said: “ Oh, that's all right, sir.
uva.x001307857	Passing through Halsemere, Anthony, muttering happily to himself: “ Now, who did kill Cock Robin? ” was struck by a horrid thought.
uva.x001307857	Puzzled?"
uva.x001307857	R. Gethryn for best man? ” Margaret patted his cheek.
uva.x001307857	Ready?
uva.x001307857	See?
uva.x001307857	See? ”.
uva.x001307857	Shall I carry her in?"
uva.x001307857	Shall I change the phrase?"
uva.x001307857	Shall I see you to- morrow? ”!
uva.x001307857	She snatched at the black disc, to hear: “ That you, Gethryn?"
uva.x001307857	Should he go home?
uva.x001307857	Should he go straight from the flat or should he tell Her first that he was going?
uva.x001307857	So I obeyed orders, you see. ”"Did you believe there was no cause for worry? ” 138 THE RASP The great dark eyes met his.
uva.x001307857	So he had aroused an emotion akin to filial, had he?
uva.x001307857	So probable, is n't it, sir?"
uva.x001307857	So she's what Zenith might call a Society Snake, is she?
uva.x001307857	So you're here disguised as a bloodhound, what?
uva.x001307857	So'elp me the room for 196 THE RASP out stealing anything, why did n't you rouse the house when you saw Mr. Hoode was dead? ”"I do n't know, sir.
uva.x001307857	Sorrow?
uva.x001307857	Surely you must have felt like this as soon as you heard? ”"N- no.
uva.x001307857	THE PREJUDICED DETECTIVE 99 “ Do n't you think we'd better find out a few people who did n't do it before we unburden ourselves to the Law?"
uva.x001307857	THE RASP “ Well?"
uva.x001307857	That The Owl office?"
uva.x001307857	That it?"
uva.x001307857	That right? ” “ Yes. ” Besides other emotions there was wonder in her tones.
uva.x001307857	That sketch of Hoode's life and work?
uva.x001307857	That's what you know, is n't it? ”.
uva.x001307857	The chim- ney's impossible because it's too small and the reg- ister's down; so he must have got in through the window. ”"Which of how many?"
uva.x001307857	The drawing- room, you said? ” She walked slowly from the room.
uva.x001307857	The garden? ” He pulled his trembling captive, whose face was a dirty gray with fear, out through the verandah and on to the terrace.
uva.x001307857	The reverse? ” Anthony shrugged non- committal shoulders.
uva.x001307857	The storm effect helped everything along nicely, though, did n't it?"
uva.x001307857	The theory was insane, of course, but why not let fancy lead him a while?
uva.x001307857	The""What had your brother to do with Hoode?".
uva.x001307857	Their stories, their behaviour?"
uva.x001307857	Then added, half- aloud: “ Now, why does that mark worry me? ”"What's that? ”"Nothing, nothing."
uva.x001307857	Then added, half- aloud: “ Now, why does that mark worry me? ”"What's that? ”"Nothing, nothing."
uva.x001307857	Then, with a change of tone:"But — but my brother?
uva.x001307857	These are what we had that infernal row about. ”"How?!
uva.x001307857	Thought he could play about with me, did he?
uva.x001307857	To- bacco? ” Deacon smiled.
uva.x001307857	To- morrow it'll be taken up to the Yard. ” “ Can I see it this evening? ”.
uva.x001307857	Understand? ” A pause.
uva.x001307857	Very clever, eh?
uva.x001307857	Walk to the gate with me, will you?
uva.x001307857	Was it likely that any one would swim the Marle at night?
uva.x001307857	Was it really a woman?
uva.x001307857	Was it — was it as bad as you said it might be?"
uva.x001307857	Was n't Mr. Hastings's betrothed a charming betrothed?
uva.x001307857	We felt rather that we owed him something for false suspicion, what?
uva.x001307857	We've absolved the aged Poole; but what about the rest of the household?"
uva.x001307857	Well, what shall I do?
uva.x001307857	Were n't you at the inquest? ”"Only roughly speaking, ” said Anthony.
uva.x001307857	What about that? ” Anthony sat up.
uva.x001307857	What about the body, Boyd?
uva.x001307857	What about'em to you? ” “ They certainly savour, ” Anthony said, “ of hanky panky.
uva.x001307857	What am I to- to do?
uva.x001307857	What d'you mean, sir? ”"I was remarking, O Boyd, that the struggle had been, for the murderer, of an almost incredible con- venience.
uva.x001307857	What d'you think?".
uva.x001307857	What did he do?
uva.x001307857	What did you find out? ”"I said that the chap must have dreamed it all.
uva.x001307857	What had he to do with Hoode? ” Anthony was at once relieved and bewildered.
uva.x001307857	What in God's name has come to you that you can play pranks of this sort?
uva.x001307857	What is it?
uva.x001307857	What is it?"
uva.x001307857	What is the damned thing?
uva.x001307857	What name shall I say?"
uva.x001307857	What was it, then? ”"A woman, of course.
uva.x001307857	What was it?
uva.x001307857	What will it do?
uva.x001307857	What would he do when told of them?
uva.x001307857	What you going to do next, Boyd?
uva.x001307857	What's that?
uva.x001307857	What's that?"
uva.x001307857	What's the matter, darling?"
uva.x001307857	What's upset you so?
uva.x001307857	What? ” “ The wood- rasp."
uva.x001307857	When he had finished, “ Well?"
uva.x001307857	When she had finished, “ Feeling better? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	When used?
uva.x001307857	When would she reappear?
uva.x001307857	When'll he be back?
uva.x001307857	Where can I find her? ” “ I think she's downstairs somewhere, but I'm not sure.
uva.x001307857	Where shall we go?
uva.x001307857	Where's my “ insider', now?"
uva.x001307857	Where've you been? ” “ London. ” Anthony was almost surly.
uva.x001307857	Who did do it? ” Anthony laughed.
uva.x001307857	Who was the timid little ferret? ”"Belford- Robert Belford, sir.
uva.x001307857	Who — who shot him?"
uva.x001307857	Who? ” Lucia pushed back her chair.
uva.x001307857	Who? ” She had risen in her excitement.
uva.x001307857	Why all this we—1—us — we?
uva.x001307857	Why did you do all this?
uva.x001307857	Why is he all right?
uva.x001307857	Why not let The Owl be really useful?
uva.x001307857	Why so fast? ” After a moment he added: “ Pumps not working too well to- day, are they? ”.
uva.x001307857	Why so fast? ” After a moment he added: “ Pumps not working too well to- day, are they? ”.
uva.x001307857	Why swim to Abbotshall?
uva.x001307857	Why was it that he could n't?
uva.x001307857	Why was the shoe wet?
uva.x001307857	Why, then, is the subsequent utilising of that incident to be attributed to only one of them?
uva.x001307857	Why, these investigators, would ask, had the hands been moved to that particular place—10.45?
uva.x001307857	Why?
uva.x001307857	Wo n't Colonel Gethryn be pleased?"
uva.x001307857	Wonderful, is n't it? ” Margaret leaned forward.
uva.x001307857	Would everything, as she had so confidently said, be"all right ”?
uva.x001307857	Would miracles indeed be worked by this — by Colonel Gethryn?
uva.x001307857	You apprehend me, Stephen?"
uva.x001307857	You ca n't give me a line, I suppose?
uva.x001307857	You ca n't?
uva.x001307857	You disappointed?"
uva.x001307857	You do see'ow it was, do n't you, sir? ”"I do, ” Anthony said.
uva.x001307857	You know that set of three small tables in the drawing- room?"
uva.x001307857	You know that, sir? ” Anthony did.
uva.x001307857	You never make mistakes, do you?
uva.x001307857	You will do one, wo n't you? ” With another smile she ran down the steps and after her sister.
uva.x001307857	but have n't you for- gotten something?"
uva.x001307857	or even see any one? ” “ No.
uva.x001307857	when the poor devil had had his head battered in?
uva.x001307857	why trouble any more?
uva.x001307857	‘ Do I sleep, do I dream, or is Visions about?'
uva.x001307857	“ A last question, ” Anthony said:"what — without prejudice do you think of the man- servant, Robert Belford of the ferret face? ”.
uva.x001307857	“ A woman in the case, eh?
uva.x001307857	“ Ampelopsis Veitchii, is n't it?"
uva.x001307857	“ And are you going to tell me anything you do n't know, but merely feel? ” Deacon was silent for perhaps a minute.
uva.x001307857	“ And as to the other, what exactly are you driving at?
uva.x001307857	“ And these were the only marks?"
uva.x001307857	“ And why should you? ” Anthony asked.
uva.x001307857	“ And why were you in the study?
uva.x001307857	“ And you, too, what are THE BOW AND ARROW 161 you?"
uva.x001307857	“ And your brother's address?"
uva.x001307857	“ Any finger- prints anywhere on anything? ” said Anthony.
uva.x001307857	“ Are you going, sir?"
uva.x001307857	“ Are you mad?
uva.x001307857	“ But do n't you see, man?
uva.x001307857	“ But we're friends already, are n't we?
uva.x001307857	“ But who do you think did do it, Mr. Gethryn?
uva.x001307857	“ But why just now?
uva.x001307857	“ But why, in God's name, did n't you walk or run, or do anything rather than swim? ”.
uva.x001307857	“ But you're puzzling me, that you are. ” “ What am I that I should flummox one of the Big Four?
uva.x001307857	“ By the way, before I go, tell me: what is Mrs. Mainwaring, who is she, that this poor swine do n't see her?
uva.x001307857	“ Can I see the prisoner now?"
uva.x001307857	“ Can I see the study? ” Boyd jumped up with alacrity.
uva.x001307857	“ Can í pick it up?
uva.x001307857	“ D'you have these attacks many times a day? ”.
uva.x001307857	“ D'you mean you think he did it?"
uva.x001307857	“ Did you mean- do you really want to know anything about them? ”.
uva.x001307857	“ Did you only come up to bring me? ”.
uva.x001307857	“ Did you say a drink?
uva.x001307857	“ Did you want me, sir?"
uva.x001307857	“ Do n't we get married at all?"
uva.x001307857	“ Dot, who — who was that man with Sir Arthur? ” Her voice rose.
uva.x001307857	“ Eh, what? ” Hastings was startled.
uva.x001307857	“ Eh?
uva.x001307857	“ Eh? ” Anthony was startled.
uva.x001307857	“ Ever read detective stories, Deacon?
uva.x001307857	“ Ever seen that before?
uva.x001307857	“ Get them done as quick as you can, wo n't you?
uva.x001307857	“ Gethryn, do you think you'll succeed?
uva.x001307857	“ Have you any money?
uva.x001307857	“ How are you? ” he said.
uva.x001307857	“ How can I help? ” he asked after a silence.
uva.x001307857	“ How did you get hold of that? ” he asked, wonderingly.
uva.x001307857	“ How d’you mean, sir? ” “ This is what I mean. ” Anthony pointed to the stain he had been examining.
uva.x001307857	“ How much d'you want?"
uva.x001307857	“ How much do you know, I wonder? ” “ All depends on your meanin'.
uva.x001307857	“ How?"
uva.x001307857	“ I go a damn sight too fast for myself sometimes. ” “ But what are you driving at?
uva.x001307857	“ I said:'Now tell me: exactly how much of Sir Arthur did you see?
uva.x001307857	“ I suppose you're not mad? ” he said, smiling.
uva.x001307857	“ I suppose you're sat- isfied now, Lucas?".
uva.x001307857	“ Is n't it dangerous to use the telephone?"
uva.x001307857	“ Is n't it?
uva.x001307857	“ It- it is only a faint, is n't it?"
uva.x001307857	“ Look here, Gethryn,"he said;"why not come in with me?
uva.x001307857	“ Look here, ” said Hastings,"if you were at the inquest, what's all the palaver about?"
uva.x001307857	“ May I sit? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	“ My good woman- if you really are a woman — what's your trouble?
uva.x001307857	“ No?
uva.x001307857	“ Now where shall we chat?
uva.x001307857	“ Now, was that stain different?
uva.x001307857	“ Of course,"he said, smiling, “ there's no opportunity for pleasure swim- ming about here, is there?
uva.x001307857	“ Pace frighten you?".
uva.x001307857	“ Pleeease. ”"Must I? ” He raised feeble hands.
uva.x001307857	“ Pretty snug, brother, is n't it? ” Deacon smiled.
uva.x001307857	“ So you think that, do you? ” said Anthony.
uva.x001307857	“ Struggle?"
uva.x001307857	“ This the first bad fit you've had for some time? ” he asked.
uva.x001307857	“ This week's problem: how to extricate him?
uva.x001307857	“ What about the clock, sir?"
uva.x001307857	“ What are you doing here?
uva.x001307857	“ What are you telling me?"
uva.x001307857	“ What d'you make of it, sir?"
uva.x001307857	“ What d'you mean?
uva.x001307857	“ What d'you mean?
uva.x001307857	“ What do you want of me, Mr. Gethryn? ” The voice was lifeless as the woman, and Anthony shivered.
uva.x001307857	“ What does this mean? ” he said, and his lips trembled.
uva.x001307857	“ What is all this?
uva.x001307857	“ What shall we do?
uva.x001307857	“ What time did you get here, Boyd? ”"About four this morning.
uva.x001307857	“ What time was that? ”"Why, eleven, of course, sir. ” “ Yes, it was, my uncanny Scot.
uva.x001307857	“ What was the size of it? ”"Well, I believe it's about the biggest made.
uva.x001307857	“ What's Deacon say about it?"
uva.x001307857	“ What's the matter, sir?
uva.x001307857	“ What?
uva.x001307857	“ What? ” Anthony rose to his feet.
uva.x001307857	“ What?"
uva.x001307857	“ Where've you been, sir?
uva.x001307857	“ Who air you,"she said “ that write to me of- of John? ” Anthony proceeded to make himself clear.
uva.x001307857	“ Who killed Hoode?'
uva.x001307857	“ Who the- ing'ell are you? ” The face of Sergeant Higgins was black with wrath.
uva.x001307857	“ Who'll dig his Grave? ”"I, ” said the Owl,"With my little Trowel; I'll dig his Grave. ” “ Who killed Cock Robin?"
uva.x001307857	“ Who'll dig his Grave? ”"I, ” said the Owl,"With my little Trowel; I'll dig his Grave. ” “ Who killed Cock Robin?"
uva.x001307857	“ Who?
uva.x001307857	“ Why are you looking like that?
uva.x001307857	“ Why d'you call me that? ” he asked, THE INEFFICIENCY OF MARGARET 115 it was that “'Cause I could n't always be saying'Spencer.'
uva.x001307857	“ Why so fast, Boyd?
uva.x001307857	“ Why take the trouble?"
uva.x001307857	“ Why-is it possible- haven't you heard?
uva.x001307857	“ Will you sit in front?"
uva.x001307857	“ Yes, darling, he was a bit strange, was n't he? ”.
uva.x001307857	“ Yes?"
uva.x001307857	“ You mean- you think Jim didn't- didn't do it? ” Anthony nodded.
uva.x001307857	“ You're clever, are n't you?
uva.x001307857	“ Yours gratefully,.. “ LUCIA LEMESURIER. ”"P.S.--You were rather hard on me, were n't you?
uva.x001329805	A licking or the sack, an'fifty quid or the sack — which is it to be?
uva.x001329805	A young lady? uva.x001329805 Ah, you heard of that?"
uva.x001329805	Ah? uva.x001329805 And Jenny was certain?
uva.x001329805	And do you know what they are waiting for now?
uva.x001329805	And he came to you? uva.x001329805 And how soon afterward did you notice that the photograph was gone from the silver frame?"
uva.x001329805	And nothing stolen?
uva.x001329805	And she read it?
uva.x001329805	And the happy man?
uva.x001329805	And what became of the child? uva.x001329805 And where is baby?"
uva.x001329805	And why, pray?
uva.x001329805	And yet, who can ever tell?
uva.x001329805	And you did?
uva.x001329805	And you have it?
uva.x001329805	And you really think Jenny has them? uva.x001329805 Are you sure?
uva.x001329805	Are you sure?
uva.x001329805	As an afterthought?
uva.x001329805	As to that, what can one say? uva.x001329805 Asking about papers —""Papers?
uva.x001329805	Black mustache, nicely turned out?
uva.x001329805	But am I in a dream? uva.x001329805 But could n't you give me the address to- day?"
uva.x001329805	But did you know the history of the flat before you went into it?
uva.x001329805	But how as to the second visit of the ghost?
uva.x001329805	But how, then, comes it that your note and his are in the same handwriting?
uva.x001329805	But if they correspond or meet to- night?
uva.x001329805	But stop — how long is it since she has gone?
uva.x001329805	But suppose I send you one with a cross on the envelope, would you do me the special favor to send that one on direct, not through Mr. Van Hupfeldt?
uva.x001329805	But suppose she did not burn or tear up the photo- graph,said David,"where would she have hidden it?
uva.x001329805	But what is it to you? uva.x001329805 But what is it you want, sir?"
uva.x001329805	But whatever is your motive?
uva.x001329805	But where, and how?
uva.x001329805	But which way? uva.x001329805 But who are these people?"
uva.x001329805	But why did you let her go before I came?
uva.x001329805	But why have you followed me?
uva.x001329805	But why hold me?
uva.x001329805	But why so? uva.x001329805 But why, after all, every day?"
uva.x001329805	But you did n't see any shreds or ashes of it any- where?
uva.x001329805	But you said only yesterday that you were Sarah Gissing?
uva.x001329805	By the way, can 283 The Late Tenant you spare the time to drive with me to Kensal Green? uva.x001329805 Can you not guess?"
uva.x001329805	Daytime? uva.x001329805 Did I not hear you say that you know more about me than I think?
uva.x001329805	Did I say that I mistrusted you?
uva.x001329805	Did n't I go into it rent- free? uva.x001329805 Did she do this?"
uva.x001329805	Did she rent the flat herself?
uva.x001329805	Did she say anything?
uva.x001329805	Did the cat steal cream? uva.x001329805 Did the late tenant die there?"
uva.x001329805	Did you search an hour each day?
uva.x001329805	Direct?
uva.x001329805	Do n't happen to know his address?
uva.x001329805	Do you assign any reason?
uva.x001329805	Do you deny all, all?
uva.x001329805	Do you know,he said,"I was nearly going to Rigs- worth to- day?"
uva.x001329805	Do you mean to say that neither the mother nor Miss Mordaunt ever once saw him?
uva.x001329805	Does not Mr. Van Hupfeldt know of them?
uva.x001329805	Down- stairs?
uva.x001329805	Drops of blood? uva.x001329805 Fairly well fixed, the mother?"
uva.x001329805	For what reason did you ask her about these papers 100 Coming Near yesterday in particular?
uva.x001329805	Forgive me, will you, if I seem unreasonable? uva.x001329805 From whom else could it have come?"
uva.x001329805	Gentleman who just come down,he said,"does he live here?"
uva.x001329805	Gott in Himmel I"Why, what's the matter?
uva.x001329805	Have another? uva.x001329805 Have you ever seen him, Dibbin?"
uva.x001329805	Have you seen a lady go out?
uva.x001329805	He was a tall man,she said,"rather thin, dark and pale —""Straight nose?"
uva.x001329805	He? uva.x001329805 Heart weak?"
uva.x001329805	Henry, too, was the name of the child, was n't it? uva.x001329805 His name was Johann Strauss, was n't it?"
uva.x001329805	How can I say?
uva.x001329805	How can that be? uva.x001329805 How can you know that this baby is n't my own?"
uva.x001329805	How can you possibly guess that,he asked,"since you have never before seen me, and do not know who I am?"
uva.x001329805	How could that be?
uva.x001329805	How dare you, sir, address this lady? uva.x001329805 How dare you?"
uva.x001329805	How save me?
uva.x001329805	How soon? uva.x001329805 How was that?"
uva.x001329805	Hupfeldt? uva.x001329805 I hardly 230 Violet Decides"But why'Henry,'since the father's name was Johann?"
uva.x001329805	I laying the ghost at two and a half guineas weekly?
uva.x001329805	I told her —"Ah, you are after her, too? uva.x001329805 I was merely taken aback, because —""Well?"
uva.x001329805	I wonder if I can stand it?
uva.x001329805	I? uva.x001329805 In my interests?"
uva.x001329805	In the light?
uva.x001329805	Is it a gracious way to approach me?
uva.x001329805	Is it against your will that the flat has been let?
uva.x001329805	Is it charming to be mistrusted?
uva.x001329805	Is n't Miss Mordaunt engaged?
uva.x001329805	Is she gone?
uva.x001329805	Is she very beautiful, your Violet?
uva.x001329805	Is that displeasing to you, dear?
uva.x001329805	Is that his name — Strauss? uva.x001329805 Is that it?"
uva.x001329805	Is this Strauss?
uva.x001329805	It was not one of the men who forced the door who removed the photograph from the frame?
uva.x001329805	Just give me the papers now, if you will, for I know her address —"But where are the papers?
uva.x001329805	Leave us a little, will you?
uva.x001329805	Lombroso? uva.x001329805 Look here, why should I be bothered with the lot of you at this ungodly hour of the morning?"
uva.x001329805	Look here, young man, you come from Australia?
uva.x001329805	Married whom? uva.x001329805 Mr. Strauss sent me —""How is she to know that?
uva.x001329805	Mrs. Mordaunt, may I appeal to your authority? uva.x001329805 Nice mother and son we little two would make, would n't we?"
uva.x001329805	Not for long — an hour — two?
uva.x001329805	Not honest?
uva.x001329805	Not to oblige me? uva.x001329805 Nothing amiss, I hope?"
uva.x001329805	Now, do I look like anybody who ties up old en- velopes in packets? uva.x001329805 Now, what have you to say to me?"
uva.x001329805	Of course,he said aloud,"you could easily identify her husband if he was shown to you again?"
uva.x001329805	Of the ghost? uva.x001329805 Oh, I think not,"cried Violet, flushed with en- thusiasm,"if it is from whom you think; but, who, then, do you think sent it?"
uva.x001329805	Oh, is that it? uva.x001329805 Oh, that's it, is it?"
uva.x001329805	Oh, you know about him?
uva.x001329805	Oh, you mean Mr. Harcourt, the occupier of the flat in Eddystone Mansions? uva.x001329805 One hundred pounds?"
uva.x001329805	Prettier than Gwendoline? uva.x001329805 Pretty girl, eh?
uva.x001329805	Pretty, you think her, eh?
uva.x001329805	Really? uva.x001329805 Say what?"
uva.x001329805	Say, Mr. Dibbin,he queried,"how about the'references'upon which the over- landlord insisted in my case?"
uva.x001329805	Saying that you would come at half- past one? uva.x001329805 Shall I come with you?"
uva.x001329805	Should old acquaintance be forgot?
uva.x001329805	So any one could have gone out without your knowledge?
uva.x001329805	So it was Strauss that ruined Gwen Barnes? uva.x001329805 So long as you obtain them, what does it matter from whom they come?"
uva.x001329805	So soon? uva.x001329805 So you have never seen my sister?"
uva.x001329805	So, after that second experience, I suppose, you would stay no longer in the flat?
uva.x001329805	Some one in a hurry?
uva.x001329805	Speaking of the Miss L'Estrange who was in the flat before me,said he;"how long did she stay in it?"
uva.x001329805	Sure now? uva.x001329805 Surely suspicions were aroused?"
uva.x001329805	Suspicions of what?
uva.x001329805	That's what you say? uva.x001329805 Then what can she think of me?"
uva.x001329805	Then you never saw the baby?
uva.x001329805	Then, how did he got hold of Gwendoline?
uva.x001329805	Then, that explains —"Explains what?
uva.x001329805	Then, will you?
uva.x001329805	They were an affectionate pair — fond of each other?
uva.x001329805	This name of Mordaunt was the maiden name of your predecessor in the flat, 56 Von or Van? uva.x001329805 Through Mr. Van Hupfeldt?"
uva.x001329805	To go to the grave, or not to go?
uva.x001329805	To whom did you hand my note?
uva.x001329805	To- day? uva.x001329805 Van Hupfeldt, Van Hupfeldt?
uva.x001329805	Van? uva.x001329805 Was n't I there when the door was forced?
uva.x001329805	Was there nothing else that fell out?
uva.x001329805	Was this man a brother, some near relative, of yours?
uva.x001329805	Well, now,said Van Hupfeldt, after a bound or two of his heart,"what do you say?
uva.x001329805	Well, so it was; what of that?
uva.x001329805	Well, that seems to say that it was Miss Barnes 85 The Late Tenant herself who removed the photograph, does n't it? uva.x001329805 Well, then, have you brought the certificates?"
uva.x001329805	Well, what is it now?
uva.x001329805	Well? uva.x001329805 Were there shreds of any kind about?"
uva.x001329805	Were you about to refer to any fresh experiences?
uva.x001329805	What about her? uva.x001329805 What are references worth, anyhow?"
uva.x001329805	What can I do for you?
uva.x001329805	What do the mother and Miss Mordaunt think of it? uva.x001329805 What do you mean?"
uva.x001329805	What do you want of me?
uva.x001329805	What hopes, dear?
uva.x001329805	What is it now?
uva.x001329805	What is it, Vi?
uva.x001329805	What is it?
uva.x001329805	What name did she call him by?
uva.x001329805	What proofs do you want beyond my word? uva.x001329805 What things?
uva.x001329805	What was he like, then, this Mr. Johann Strauss of the flourishy signature?
uva.x001329805	What's the game now?
uva.x001329805	What's wrong with me?
uva.x001329805	What, am I in special favor, then?
uva.x001329805	What, did n't you know? uva.x001329805 What, is it nothing for a man to hear it doubted whether he is honest or not?
uva.x001329805	What, then, does Mr. Harcourt mean? uva.x001329805 What, you passed along here?
uva.x001329805	What? uva.x001329805 What?
uva.x001329805	What? uva.x001329805 What?
uva.x001329805	What?
uva.x001329805	When did Miss Barnes die?
uva.x001329805	When was that?
uva.x001329805	Where do Miss Barnes's relatives reside?
uva.x001329805	Where have you been during the last five minutes?
uva.x001329805	Where's the use in carrying on like a loony? uva.x001329805 Which certificates?"
uva.x001329805	Which do you think?
uva.x001329805	Which note? uva.x001329805 Which?
uva.x001329805	Who is she?
uva.x001329805	Who is there?
uva.x001329805	Who is this?
uva.x001329805	Who knows?
uva.x001329805	Who told you that, pray?
uva.x001329805	Who was he?
uva.x001329805	Who was the man?
uva.x001329805	Why condense the tale? uva.x001329805 Why did he not bring them here?"
uva.x001329805	Why do you ask again?
uva.x001329805	Why do you laugh?
uva.x001329805	Why do you say that, if a coroner's jury brought in a verdict of'Death from Misadventure'?
uva.x001329805	Why do you speak so strangely? uva.x001329805 Why do you tell me all this only when I force it from you?"
uva.x001329805	Why do you think that he may know?
uva.x001329805	Why have they been withheld so long?
uva.x001329805	Why should my private conduct anger you at all? uva.x001329805 With the certificates?"
uva.x001329805	With what object did this Harcourt come to you yesterday, Violet?
uva.x001329805	You could n't perhaps find that envelope now?
uva.x001329805	You have the certificates and the diary?
uva.x001329805	You mean financially? uva.x001329805 You mean that you got Mr. Harcourt to write your note for you?"
uva.x001329805	You received my telegram of this morning?
uva.x001329805	You say such a thing?
uva.x001329805	You stopped here, did you not?
uva.x001329805	You told him about the certificates? uva.x001329805 You will excuse my calling,"explained David, without shaking hands,"though we have met before — you remember?"
uva.x001329805	You will know me again, eh?
uva.x001329805	You wo n't punish me for that?
uva.x001329805	You're going to see Mr. Strauss, are n't you? uva.x001329805 Your motive is to redress a wrong done by some one to my sister by devoting yourself to make me happy?
uva.x001329805	'How do you mean, mum?'
uva.x001329805	'Which two papers, miss?'

uva.x001329805	And how did he know, the jealous youth, by what hundred reasons her nightly wandering might be accounted for?
uva.x001329805	And how?
uva.x001329805	And it follows that the photograph is still in the flat?"
uva.x001329805	And now that you have heard my yarn, you want me to go, eh?"
uva.x001329805	And the happy event takes place when?
uva.x001329805	And this Violet Mordaunt was Gwen Barnes's sister?
uva.x001329805	And this is what David wrote: My dear One — Can it be that some newly conceived lie has kept you from sending for me?
uva.x001329805	And what did he say then?"
uva.x001329805	And where do you meet this young man who so unwarrantably thrusts himself into our affairs, I should like to know?"
uva.x001329805	And you told him about the certificates?"
uva.x001329805	Anything of what nature?"
uva.x001329805	Are you staying in the village?"
uva.x001329805	Are you sure, now?
uva.x001329805	Are you sure?"
uva.x001329805	As a matter of fact, is not some one with me?"
uva.x001329805	As it was, how could she?
uva.x001329805	Brimstone?"
uva.x001329805	But I say, Dibbin, can you give me the address of the lady?"
uva.x001329805	But Violet said, and her words had the cold clink of ice in a glass:"Who is Mr. Van Hupfeldt?"
uva.x001329805	But after Tuesday's promise to him, what can I do?
uva.x001329805	But ca n't any- thing be done now?
uva.x001329805	But can you give me Mrs. Mordaunt's address?"
uva.x001329805	But how if there existed some other mysterious exit from the flat?
uva.x001329805	But how so?"
uva.x001329805	But how was Violet's anxiety on this head to be explained?
uva.x001329805	But is Mr. Van Hupfeldt one of these fabulous beings?
uva.x001329805	But of what use would proof of anything whatever be, when he was all shut out from access to the Mordaunts?
uva.x001329805	But still, Vi —""Well?"
uva.x001329805	But who?
uva.x001329805	But will it never be over?
uva.x001329805	But will there be any shootin'?"
uva.x001329805	But you never found any papers at all in the flat?"
uva.x001329805	But, if I may come back — may I?"
uva.x001329805	But, then, how had Van Hupfeldt got away?
uva.x001329805	By what right does he dare?
uva.x001329805	Ca n't very well get along without us, after all, can you?"
uva.x001329805	Ca n't you see when anybody is in bed?"
uva.x001329805	Ca n't you take it coolly?"
uva.x001329805	Can David Har- court do as much?"
uva.x001329805	Can I afford these royal extrava- gances in other people's affairs?
uva.x001329805	Can you listen?
uva.x001329805	Can you suggest a place?
uva.x001329805	Certainly, it is a serious matter, but do n't think it more serious than it is —""Violet?"
uva.x001329805	Come right away, will you?
uva.x001329805	Could this be David, the man who used to sleep beneath the stars?
uva.x001329805	Could you point out to me Mr. Johann Strauss?"
uva.x001329805	Creature d'un jour qui t'agites une heure, De quoi viens- tu te plaindre et que te fait gemir?
uva.x001329805	David sat up, saying:"How do you mean,'fell out of a picture'?"
uva.x001329805	David was saying to Jenny:"You are Miss L'Estrange's servant?"
uva.x001329805	Dibbin?"
uva.x001329805	Did he ask that, too?
uva.x001329805	Did n't I go in at once?"
uva.x001329805	Did n't I know your name, Jenny, and your mistress's name?"
uva.x001329805	Did n't you throw them into the fireplace, Miss L'Estrange?'
uva.x001329805	Did the ghost suddenly get worse?"
uva.x001329805	Did you ever know her to hide anything?
uva.x001329805	Did you never see a photograph?"
uva.x001329805	Did you tell him?"
uva.x001329805	Did you, then, kill my sister?"
uva.x001329805	Do n't I tell you I dreamt of soldiers?
uva.x001329805	Do n't you believe that there are twenty men in London who would give quite a lot if I honored them by this morning call?"
uva.x001329805	Do n't you know where it is?"
uva.x001329805	Do they assume that she was married?
uva.x001329805	Do you doubt what I tell you?"
uva.x001329805	Do you manage it yourself?"
uva.x001329805	Does the girl say that any one else knows of them?"
uva.x001329805	Find what?"
uva.x001329805	First there was Strauss, then that young lady, and now you —""Which young lady?"
uva.x001329805	For what good reason could she be thus abroad?
uva.x001329805	For, if she hid one thing, she may have hidden others, may n't she?"
uva.x001329805	Given a pretty girl, a singer, a minor actress, who leaves her home and lives alone in apart- ments exceedingly well furnished, what do people think?
uva.x001329805	Goin'ter sleep'ere alone?"
uva.x001329805	Grover?"
uva.x001329805	Grover?"
uva.x001329805	Guess you want to smoke, eh?
uva.x001329805	Had he a flying- ma- chine?
uva.x001329805	Had she forgotten nothing?
uva.x001329805	Had she never heard, he wondered, that her sister's evil mate was a man with a black mustache and pale, dark skin?
uva.x001329805	Had they all been duly destroyed by her?
uva.x001329805	Has it been found?"
uva.x001329805	Has she not been the best of mothers to Harry?
uva.x001329805	Have I not given it?
uva.x001329805	Have you lost all your fine sense of honor and fairness?
uva.x001329805	Have you not had experience enough of the curse of men?"
uva.x001329805	Have you seen the daughter, too?"
uva.x001329805	He did n't marry her, Dibbin?
uva.x001329805	He did n't marry her?"
uva.x001329805	He took a step forward, whispering:"Must I be the winner?"
uva.x001329805	His last letter to her?
uva.x001329805	His lips were white, but they smiled dreadfully, though for some part of a second he hesitated before he said:"Now, who told you that?"
uva.x001329805	His photographs, where were they?
uva.x001329805	Honest?
uva.x001329805	How about the child?
uva.x001329805	How am I to believe you honest when you say such things?"
uva.x001329805	How could I know?"
uva.x001329805	How could he know it, except from Violet?
uva.x001329805	How does he look, this young man?
uva.x001329805	How else could the precautions about the door be explained?
uva.x001329805	How was I to know all that?"
uva.x001329805	How will she look?
uva.x001329805	How's the wife and the kiddies?"
uva.x001329805	How, by the way, did you come to know him?"
uva.x001329805	However, next day he turned up at my place — I was living then in Great Titchfield- St.; and what do you think my man wanted?
uva.x001329805	I always put down that Strauss for a rotter —""But why, since he married her?"
uva.x001329805	I am about to be married, and —""Married?"
uva.x001329805	I beg you not to be alarmed —""Why, then, are you here?"
uva.x001329805	I came to see a grave, just as you have —""This grave?"
uva.x001329805	I can well imagine how the poor things feel, ca n't you?
uva.x001329805	I have left the girl in my flat —""But where — where do you say she found them?"
uva.x001329805	I hit him then?"
uva.x001329805	I suppose you forward her letters on to her?"
uva.x001329805	I suppose you knew her?"
uva.x001329805	I take it that you actually have the cer- tificates on you?"
uva.x001329805	I told him to go about his business —""What did he want to know?"
uva.x001329805	I wonder what could have become of them?
uva.x001329805	If it was not to obtain my authorization to spend the one hundred pounds for the certificates, why did he come?"
uva.x001329805	In that case, however, how make sure of Jenny in the meantime?
uva.x001329805	In whom was she to trust?
uva.x001329805	Is it the same who came here to speak with the girl I left in your charge?
uva.x001329805	Is n't the agreement valid for nearly a year yet?
uva.x001329805	Is n't there something queerish in his relation with"Mrs. S"?
uva.x001329805	Is not that life in a few words?
uva.x001329805	Is she nameless?"
uva.x001329805	Is that satisfactory?"
uva.x001329805	It may take a day or two; but find it I will, and, meantime, is it much to expect that my angel will believe in her one best and eternal friend?
uva.x001329805	Jenny had clearly not gone to Van Hupfeldt's on leaving the flat, or why should Van Hupfeldt be racing eastward?
uva.x001329805	Let me place this cushion —""She is well, I hope?"
uva.x001329805	May I have another peep at the locket?"
uva.x001329805	Men did not talk and leer in that way at R. Did they think so?
uva.x001329805	Mr. Dibbin comes to King's Cross, I suppose?"
uva.x001329805	Mr. Van Hupfeldt will be here presently —""How do you know, mother?"
uva.x001329805	Night- time?"
uva.x001329805	No?
uva.x001329805	Not seen anything?"
uva.x001329805	Now, I'm rather off miracles — are n't you?
uva.x001329805	Of course, nothing was stolen, though I 49 The Late Tenant did miss something out of the trunk a day or two afterward —""What was that?"
uva.x001329805	Of course, we can guess from whom it comes; but does not the fact that he does not sign his name show a lack of confidence in his own statements?"
uva.x001329805	Oh, get them for me quickly, will you?"
uva.x001329805	One day I asked him why he could not introduce me to her as — a friend?
uva.x001329805	Or am I a caged bird?
uva.x001329805	Or do they know enough of the world to guess that she was not?
uva.x001329805	Or do you take me for an old maid?
uva.x001329805	Or was it all a dream?
uva.x001329805	Or what do you think?"
uva.x001329805	Philan- thropy most certainly would wear thin in time, if it did not rest on affection —""Do you doubt that I have affection?"
uva.x001329805	Prettier than her sister?"
uva.x001329805	Rigsworth?
uva.x001329805	Sharpe?"
uva.x001329805	She had promised: but how if David Harcourt was truly the thing which he was said to be?
uva.x001329805	She had really seen a woman?"
uva.x001329805	She sat down, slung a knee between her clasped fingers in her habitual manner, and said:"Please tell me, what do you mean?"
uva.x001329805	She suddenly looked up from the ground, saying:"May I ask how long you have been there?"
uva.x001329805	So I asked him why he did n't take the flat, and search for the papers himself at his leisure?
uva.x001329805	So I said to myself —""But stay, what was the postmark on the envelope which brought you back this agreement?"
uva.x001329805	Some one has been in my flat —""Is that so, sir?"
uva.x001329805	Suppose that she was in London all the time?
uva.x001329805	Suppose, he thought, that the whole business was somehow a trick of that man?
uva.x001329805	Surely this Harcourt will not be admitted here in my absence?
uva.x001329805	Surely you have given him no money?"
uva.x001329805	Surely, surely, you know that a certificate of marriage and one of birth were found in the flat by a Miss L'Estrange?"
uva.x001329805	Surprised?"
uva.x001329805	That he still loved her, although she was rich?
uva.x001329805	The affair was an accident, of course, but — er —""A sceptical coroner thought it a murder?
uva.x001329805	The certificates?
uva.x001329805	The man said that there were certificates, did he not?
uva.x001329805	The next day she comes to me in the kitchen, singing and chuckling to herself, and she says to me:'What are you doing here?'
uva.x001329805	The next moment, however, he was asking himself:"Who's to pay?
uva.x001329805	The scream did for 48 Von or Van?
uva.x001329805	The verdict was virtually one of suicide?"
uva.x001329805	There, now; ai n't I a wonder?"
uva.x001329805	Those are the facts, are n't they?"
uva.x001329805	To bring healing to some lots in this world, you would have need to dream of generals and field- marshals —""Some more tea, mother?"
uva.x001329805	VanHupfeldt?"
uva.x001329805	Violet herself told me —""Here?
uva.x001329805	Was he a griffin?
uva.x001329805	Was it so that men won women, that some man had won her sister?
uva.x001329805	Was she, then, spending some time with friends at"The Cedars"in — Glou- cestershire?
uva.x001329805	Was she, too, wishful to carry out a scrutiny of pictures, cupboards, and ornaments on her own account?
uva.x001329805	Was there no photograph of him in the flat?
uva.x001329805	Well, he made some excuse or other, and at last, as he talked sanely enough, I struck hands over it — rent free, six months, 52 Von or Van?
uva.x001329805	Well, you know, do n't you?
uva.x001329805	Were there holes in the wall?
uva.x001329805	Were you not, Sarah?"
uva.x001329805	What about?"
uva.x001329805	What did it smell of?
uva.x001329805	What did she think when she opened that letter of mine?
uva.x001329805	What did the man say?"
uva.x001329805	What do you say to it?"
uva.x001329805	What does that mean when you never even heard of the certificates?"
uva.x001329805	What gentleman is that?"
uva.x001329805	What has happened?"
uva.x001329805	What interest can he have in them?
uva.x001329805	What is it to me?
uva.x001329805	What is it?
uva.x001329805	What kind of young man?"
uva.x001329805	What more can Mr. Van Hupfeldt do to please you?
uva.x001329805	What more do you want?"
uva.x001329805	What name did you give him as that of the husband on the marriage- lines?
uva.x001329805	What next?
uva.x001329805	What of him?"
uva.x001329805	What on earth does he want of you?"
uva.x001329805	What papers?
uva.x001329805	What was he to say?
uva.x001329805	What was she to believe?
uva.x001329805	What would happen if she unexpectedly encountered Van Hupfeldt within?
uva.x001329805	What would have become of her had she regained her senses and found herself alone in the flat, alone with a dead man?
uva.x001329805	What, then, was your motive?"
uva.x001329805	When I said to her yesterday:'What about those two papers that dropped out of the picture at Eddystone Mansions?'
uva.x001329805	Where does Strauss live?"
uva.x001329805	Where is Violet?"
uva.x001329805	Where is she gone to?"
uva.x001329805	Where was that?
uva.x001329805	Where?"
uva.x001329805	Which will you believe?"
uva.x001329805	Who is he?"
uva.x001329805	Why are you pale?
uva.x001329805	Why could he not have been good, and grand, and high, and everything that is noble and wonderful, as a man should be?
uva.x001329805	Why could not the sender sign his name?
uva.x001329805	Why did I come here?
uva.x001329805	Why did he nourish that sort of re- sentment against a girl who was a perfect stranger?
uva.x001329805	Why do you care?
uva.x001329805	Why not six months before?"
uva.x001329805	Why should I want more?
uva.x001329805	Why so?"
uva.x001329805	Why was it spirited away from its mother?
uva.x001329805	Why, he asked himself, should Gwendoline have com- mitted siucide?
uva.x001329805	Will she be eager to hear all about it?
uva.x001329805	Will you believe it?
uva.x001329805	Will you let me help you?"
uva.x001329805	Without understanding anything?"
uva.x001329805	Wo n't it be nice to dance again, and fling one's limbs?
uva.x001329805	Would you care to see it?"
uva.x001329805	Yesterday?"
uva.x001329805	You and I were n't pals —""But what is he like, this young man?"
uva.x001329805	You ask that?
uva.x001329805	You ca n't say where the marriage took place?
uva.x001329805	You ca n't think what your mistress may have done with it?"
uva.x001329805	You have discovered their names?"
uva.x001329805	You heard her last words?"
uva.x001329805	You knew my dear sister?
uva.x001329805	You know so much of me already?"
uva.x001329805	You must have had a good mother?"
uva.x001329805	You never saw the letter again?
uva.x001329805	You saw her in her last hours?
uva.x001329805	You talk of affection?
uva.x001329805	You told him that?
uva.x001329805	You understand?
uva.x001329805	You're not afraid of a man, Jim?"
uva.x001329805	asked David,"or through Van Hup- feldt?"
uva.x001329805	asked David,"since you did not give it to Strauss?"
uva.x001329805	not to please me?"
uva.x001329805	or a menagerie ape?
uva.x001329805	or a mere ass?
uva.x001329805	or might it have been'van'?
uva.x001329805	or was it not taken away until after her death?"
uva.x001329805	said she, shrinking, as from the touch of a wound,"how do you know?
uva.x001329805	the flat is let again?"
uva.x001329805	what interest can you have strong enough to bring you?"
uva.x001329805	what is your other name?"
uva.x001329805	—'But what lie am I telling, Miss L'Estrange?'

uc1.b3549035	And what fool has put his money into a show like this in these days of advancement and enterprise?
uc1.b3549035	And what is he — what is Cleek — that a king should enter into com- pact with a woman to kill him?
uc1.b3549035	And what on earth would you do if she were to chance to get a peep at Dollops?
uc1.b3549035	And what sort of a chap is this grandson in whose interest she is acting?
uc1.b3549035	And who the dickens are you, anyway?
uc1.b3549035	And who the dickens are you, anyway?
uc1.b3549035	And why is it going on, night after night, ever since?
uc1.b3549035	And yet nobody saw the manner of his going, do you say? ” “ That's it precisely.
uc1.b3549035	And, having made his money in his own native country, came to that of his father to spend it?
uc1.b3549035	And, if self- administered, what can have become of the syringe?
uc1.b3549035	Another follower in the footsteps of the great Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	Any clue to his whereabouts as yet? ” “ Not the slightest! ” “ Ah, that's too bad.
uc1.b3549035	Any cocher will take you there. ” “ Is it safe?"
uc1.b3549035	Any idea at what time he got back? ”"Not the ghost of one.
uc1.b3549035	Any idea of the time? ” “ Yes — much idea.
uc1.b3549035	Any idea what he wanted with that pail of water at that hour of the night?
uc1.b3549035	Any idea where the persons were supposed to live? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Any letters or writing of any sort in the pockets when found?
uc1.b3549035	Any vehicle seen or heard in the vicinity of the spot just previously?".
uc1.b3549035	Any- body in that room after Sir Mawson left you, your lady- ship?"
uc1.b3549035	Anybody of im- portance? ” “ Of very great importance — in the financial world, ” replied Narkom.
uc1.b3549035	Anything up?"
uc1.b3549035	Anything wrong with you, old chap?"
uc1.b3549035	Anything wrong? ” Dollops had turned the colour of an under- baked biscuit and was looking at him with eyes of absolute despair.
uc1.b3549035	Are they so here? ” “ Certainly not, ” put in young Drake.
uc1.b3549035	Are you sure you have found it?
uc1.b3549035	Are you sure? ”.
uc1.b3549035	At what hour did Mr. Nosworth go into his laboratory?
uc1.b3549035	At what time in the morning was Farrow found lying unconscious upon the moor? ” “ Somewhere between six and seven o'clock.
uc1.b3549035	Beat that train- do you hear me?
uc1.b3549035	Because, I may tell you that Loti is mad on flowers, and always has a vase of them in the room somewhere. ” “ Does he, indeed?
uc1.b3549035	Been there a dog's age; and they so matched the old place your poor father never had them taken out. ” “ The'old armoury'?
uc1.b3549035	Besides, I'm a whimsical beggar at best, you know — and who bothers to inquire why a donkey pre- fers thistles to hay?
uc1.b3549035	Blame any more unreasonably than they have blamed?
uc1.b3549035	Burg- lary? ”.
uc1.b3549035	But Chocolate Maid?
uc1.b3549035	But Strathmere likes'em, do n't you, bonny boy?
uc1.b3549035	But first, who was the victim?
uc1.b3549035	But how could I dream of there being anything in that to regret, and he a son of mine?
uc1.b3549035	But how?
uc1.b3549035	But tell me, please — have you succeeded in your plans?
uc1.b3549035	But to return to our mutton — or, rather, our stone drum – was it in that place, then, that the murder was committed? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	But who?
uc1.b3549035	But, I say ” – as if suddenly struck with an idea —"you do n't think that he nipped something valuable and cut off with it, do you?
uc1.b3549035	But, I say; any ideas, old chap – eh? ” “ Yes, two or three.
uc1.b3549035	By the way, Doc- tor, am I privileged to go up and see the patient?
uc1.b3549035	By the way, Major, you surely do n't allow harness to be washed and oiled in here? ” “ Certainly not!
uc1.b3549035	By the way, Norcross, if this chap succeeds in finding the filly in time for the race, that little bet of ours stands, of course? ”.
uc1.b3549035	By the way, my man, what caused you to make this sudden descent upon us?
uc1.b3549035	By whom? ” “ Jennifer — one of the servants."
uc1.b3549035	CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD 103 “ How do you fix the exact time?"
uc1.b3549035	CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD 161 “ But how, Mr. Cleek — in the name of all that is won- derful, how? ” “ Ah, that is the point, Sir Charles.
uc1.b3549035	CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD 203 “ Found out anything, old chap?"
uc1.b3549035	CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD 93 “ Constable there with you during it all, then? ” “ Yes, certainly — in the covered passage, just behind me.
uc1.b3549035	Ca n't you?
uc1.b3549035	Call him in, will you, Mr. Drake?
uc1.b3549035	Can they ‘ ring'any more than they are doing already? ” Narkom threw up both arms and laughed the thin, mirthless laughter of utter despair.
uc1.b3549035	Can you describe them? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Captain MacTavish? ” “ No.
uc1.b3549035	Captain a young man or an old one? ” “ Oh, young, of course.
uc1.b3549035	Case gone, too, Sir Mawson?"
uc1.b3549035	Charles'connected with Miss Renfrew in any way? ”"Lummy!
uc1.b3549035	Chop it from a big cake? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Cleek of Scotland Yard. ” “ That man?
uc1.b3549035	Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	Come along, Sir Charles; come along, Mr. Beachman — come along at once! ” “ Where, Mr. Cleek — where? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Constable Gorham was there — he heard him; he will tell you the same. ” “ Yes, yes, I know you said so, but — will he?
uc1.b3549035	Could anything be more appalling?
uc1.b3549035	Could, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Danced? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Dancing round in circles?
uc1.b3549035	Deeply imprinted, are they? ”"Lummy!
uc1.b3549035	Did any of the dead men bear a mark like that? ” “ No, ” said Narkom.
uc1.b3549035	Did it look as if he had been biting the soil? ” “ Yes,"replied Narkom.
uc1.b3549035	Did n't miss any money or anything of that sort which you'd left lying about, did you, Mr.- er — Lotus, eh? ” “ Loti, if you please, signor.
uc1.b3549035	Did n't you hear?
uc1.b3549035	Did n't, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Did she ever make use of this typewriter at any time? ” “ Yes, sir — often,"he replied.
uc1.b3549035	Did she have any friends in the town, Mr. Beachman? ” “ No, not one.
uc1.b3549035	Did the man take a bribe and ‘ sell'you that way? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Did you act on Con- stable Gorham's suggestion, then? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Did you hear what he has promised- eh? ”"I heard, ” responded the captain with a laugh.
uc1.b3549035	Did you see that, Cleek? ” he cried, and switched round and made a grab for Cleek's arm.
uc1.b3549035	Did you, Mary?
uc1.b3549035	Disap- peared, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Do n't you know it's almost one o'clock? ” said Cleek, as he went forward and joined the boy.
uc1.b3549035	Do n't you think I know a man when I run foul of him?
uc1.b3549035	Do you forget, then, that there is no instrument, no wire, attached to the place? ” Cleek puckered up his brows.
uc1.b3549035	Do you know a place called the Inn of the Seven Sinners? ” “ Perfectly.
uc1.b3549035	Do you mean to claim that you saw my boy here- last night? ” “ Certainly, sir.
uc1.b3549035	Do you see anything promising in that fact, Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	Do you want any further incentive than that?
uc1.b3549035	Does he offer any ex- planation on that score? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Down to that at last, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Eh? ”.
uc1.b3549035	English, is she? ” “ Oh, yes — that is, her father was English and she her- self was born in Buckinghamshire.
uc1.b3549035	Ever hear any- body speak of the'Golden Boy,'old chap? ” “ What!
uc1.b3549035	Fast is she?
uc1.b3549035	Fine old place, is n't it?
uc1.b3549035	For what reason has she sent for me?
uc1.b3549035	Found out anything about them? ” “ Yes, and a very important thing, too: They are not Diamond Nick and Dutch Ella.
uc1.b3549035	Found something else? ” “ No, ” said Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	From Paris? ” “ Yes, sir.
uc1.b3549035	Funny time for a king to go vis- iting another nation, sir, is n't it, when there's a revolu- tion threatening in his own?
uc1.b3549035	Gad, but there are some splendid women in the world, are there not, Mr. Narkom?
uc1.b3549035	Garden doing well, and all my traps in shipshape order, eh? ” “ Yes, sir, Gawd bless you, sir.
uc1.b3549035	Gentleman want question me? ” The small figure turned, the kindly face lifted, and the sorrowful eyes looked up into Cleek's unemotional ones.
uc1.b3549035	Give Lennard the signal, will you?
uc1.b3549035	Go on, please — what next? ” “ Why, of course I immediately explained what Constable Gorham had said, and why I had looked in.
uc1.b3549035	Good heavens, Mawson, has the man gone out of his mind? ” In the circumstances the question was an excusable one.
uc1.b3549035	Got a lead pencil and a bit of paper, anybody?
uc1.b3549035	Got a tape measure with you?
uc1.b3549035	Got him fast, have you?
uc1.b3549035	Had an only son, had n't he?
uc1.b3549035	Have you investigated this thing, Doctor?
uc1.b3549035	Have you seen to- day's papers?
uc1.b3549035	He saw how the game was running and he meant to slip the cable and clear out while he had the chance. ” “ And you let him do it?
uc1.b3549035	He was then going over to the shoer's with the mare. ” “ How long would it take him to make the journey?"
uc1.b3549035	He'd spot you in a tick, in a weak dis- guise like that. ” “ Then why do n't you go down yourself and fetch them up, old chap?
uc1.b3549035	He's gone, sir. ” “ Gone?
uc1.b3549035	He's worth half a million at the least calculation. ” 50 CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD “ How's that?
uc1.b3549035	Hidden between Farrow's fingers or wrapped around Chocolate Maid's legs? ” “ Both, ” said Cleek serenely.
uc1.b3549035	His fingers thrust into his nostrils?
uc1.b3549035	His mouth open?
uc1.b3549035	His tongue hanging out?
uc1.b3549035	How comes she to be there? ” “ I took her.
uc1.b3549035	How could she have got back to the stable, then?
uc1.b3549035	How did I find that out?
uc1.b3549035	How did I know through that scrawl that I was really on the track, and that it was the Bareva Reef that was at the bottom of the whole game?
uc1.b3549035	How did she give it and to whom?"
uc1.b3549035	How did the affair start?
uc1.b3549035	How divine! ” “ Meaning the flowers or their donor? ” — quizzically.
uc1.b3549035	How do you know, then, that they did n't? ”.
uc1.b3549035	How the devil am I to do it when I do n't know where on earth to find him?
uc1.b3549035	How the dickens can you be sure of such a thing as that? ”.
uc1.b3549035	How, do you ask?
uc1.b3549035	How?
uc1.b3549035	How?
uc1.b3549035	How? ” “ Yesterday — from my keeping!
uc1.b3549035	Hullo, dad?
uc1.b3549035	I am always glad to get them, but to- day's one made me very, very happy indeed. ”"Because I told you you might expect me? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	I could n't help being late to- day — I'll tell you all about that presently — but may I offer something in atonement?
uc1.b3549035	I have n't had such a beautiful time since the day I was twenty- one, darling; he fights like a blooming angel, that chap. ” “ What chap?
uc1.b3549035	I said it would be the work of gypsies, did n't I now, Mr. Simpkins? ” addressing the gamekeeper.
uc1.b3549035	I said to- morrow I would answer the riddle, did I not?
uc1.b3549035	I say, Deland — I mean to say, Mr. Cleek- in God's name, who could have put the cursed thing there?".
uc1.b3549035	I say, dad, who's this johnnie?
uc1.b3549035	I say, you are taking me into the country, I perceive; we've left the town behind us. ” “ Yes; we're bound for Darsham. ” “ Darsham?
uc1.b3549035	I wish you would n't smile all up one side of your face in that con- Hang 1 bout?
uc1.b3549035	I won- der why?
uc1.b3549035	I wonder what you will think when you hear? ” And forthwith he told her.
uc1.b3549035	I've seen'em. ” “ Seen them?
uc1.b3549035	I- er — God bless my soul, was he ever in Ceylon, Mr. Headland? ” “ Yes, Mr. Valmond, he was.
uc1.b3549035	If he knew, he'd move heaven and earth to ruin him. ” “ Dawson- Blake? ” repeated Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	If it were natural, why did it never manifest itself before the failure of that wretched diamond company?
uc1.b3549035	If they could n't see the porter come up to the glass- room with the boy, how can they be sure of that?"
uc1.b3549035	In the glass- room?"
uc1.b3549035	Inherited it from his father, as he did the business, and- What's that?
uc1.b3549035	Inspector, where did you find the secret?
uc1.b3549035	Is anything wrong with Miss Lorne? ” “ Nothing-- nothing at all. ” “ Thank God!
uc1.b3549035	Is he coming himself or does he want me to go to him?
uc1.b3549035	Is he here? ” CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD 29 “ No, no.
uc1.b3549035	Is he with her in this appeal to the Yard? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Is it not chipping?
uc1.b3549035	Is it really you? ” “ Sure thing!'
uc1.b3549035	Is n't it enough for me to be a blockhead without you entering the lists along with me? ” said Cleek, irritably.
uc1.b3549035	Is she hurt?
uc1.b3549035	Is that man a big fellow — broad shouldered muscular, and about forty or forty- five years of age? ” “ You've described him to a T, dear chap.
uc1.b3549035	Is that true? ” “ Yes, sir, ” the man replied, “ perfectly true.
uc1.b3549035	Is there, Lord Fallowfield?
uc1.b3549035	Is there? ” “ Well, he seems to think that there may be.
uc1.b3549035	Is, eh?
uc1.b3549035	It came to me suddenly — while I was standing there ex- plaining things to Miss Renfrew — and I could have kicked myself for my folly. ”"Folly?
uc1.b3549035	It is stolen! ” “ What's that?
uc1.b3549035	It is very nice of you but — may we not let it go at that?
uc1.b3549035	It was a false alarm, was it not? ” “ No, sir.
uc1.b3549035	It would be Mr. Charles Drummond, would it not? ”.
uc1.b3549035	It would be gone like a breath, gone like a passing cloud if it were that. ” “ If it were what?
uc1.b3549035	Just so. ” “ What is just so ’? ” inquired the major eagerly.
uc1.b3549035	Keb! ” and hard on the heels of that flung out a laughing, “ Hullo, mater?
uc1.b3549035	Keb, mum?
uc1.b3549035	Keep strychnine about the place for killing rats, I suppose? ” “ Yes, of course.
uc1.b3549035	Kibble- white had the dickens and all of a time trying to get at that chap Serpice, as you may remember? ” “ I do — in a measure.
uc1.b3549035	Know it, do n't you?
uc1.b3549035	Know what? ” “ Where he is — wot's become of him?
uc1.b3549035	Know what? ” “ Where he is — wot's become of him?
uc1.b3549035	Leave the house, did he?"
uc1.b3549035	Let him first be put into the regular nursery, however, then take him out without the knowledge of any living soul — of any, you hear?
uc1.b3549035	Let me have one of them for a day or so, 58 CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD will you?
uc1.b3549035	Like the first man, he was found under the wall which surrounds Lemmingham House. ” “ Lemmingham House?
uc1.b3549035	Like to have a look at it? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Local police picked up anything in the nature of a clue? ” 118 CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD “ The local police know nothing whatsoever about it.
uc1.b3549035	Look here, my young man, you're not developing'nerves'are you?
uc1.b3549035	Lord Fal- lowfield, it appears, tried his best to dissuade him, but to no purpose. ”"Why did he do that?
uc1.b3549035	Lying on the landing, do you say, Mr. Cleek? ” exclaimed her ladyship.
uc1.b3549035	Lying?

uc1.b3549035	M'sieur, who shall it be this great criminal you demand of me to arrest?
uc1.b3549035	MacTavish?
uc1.b3549035	Makin'a rush and settin'the pedler free when he comes up before the Beak?
uc1.b3549035	Mawson, you hear, dearest?
uc1.b3549035	May I come in a minute, dear?
uc1.b3549035	May I have them? ” “ Certainly, Mr. Cleek — as many as you want. ” “ Two will do, thanks.
uc1.b3549035	Merely a bit torn from an old handbill — see?
uc1.b3549035	Messages? ” interposed Sir Charles.
uc1.b3549035	Mind telling me what it is?"
uc1.b3549035	Miss Larue?
uc1.b3549035	Mr. Nar- kom, is it not? ” “ Yes, Mr. Valmond, ” replied the superintendent, hold- ing out a welcoming hand.
uc1.b3549035	Mrs. Sherman fixes the hour when she noticed this as half- past four, you say?
uc1.b3549035	Must we wait until we reach Paris, mademoiselle?
uc1.b3549035	Narkom, is the limousine within easy reach? ” “ Yes, waiting in Tavistock Street, dear chap.
uc1.b3549035	Narkom?"
uc1.b3549035	Necessary, I suppose, on account of the chemi- cals and the inflammable nature of the wax?
uc1.b3549035	No?
uc1.b3549035	None, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Not much use in shouting'Rule Britannia'if you're going to ship on a foreign craft, is there, sir?
uc1.b3549035	Not put- ting up out here of late, is she, Mr. Narkom? ” “ No.
uc1.b3549035	Not that Septimus Nosworth, surely? ”"Aye — him's the one, poor gentleman.
uc1.b3549035	Now, if you please, where is your sister? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Now, then, let's see — where was I?
uc1.b3549035	Of English extraction, was n't he?
uc1.b3549035	Of course they did n't?
uc1.b3549035	Of the necklace?
uc1.b3549035	Oh, Gawd bless you, guv'ner, is it really you again? ” said Dollops, rushing up to him like a girl to a lover.
uc1.b3549035	Oh, Mary, is n't it clinking, dear?

uc1.b3549035	Or — did they?"
uc1.b3549035	Pardon me, Lady Leake, but do you think it is possible that this affair we are on may be only a wild goose chase after all?

uc1.b3549035	She has n't an inkling of the truth, then? ” “ Not one.
uc1.b3549035	She then went on to give me details of a most extraordinary and bewildering nature. ” “ Indeed?

uc1.b3549035	So our little business to- day is to be an out- of- town affair, eh?
uc1.b3549035	So this dearest boy'had an unpleasant interview with you 196 CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD the day before yesterday, did he, Sir Mawson?
uc1.b3549035	So you do n't know anything about him, eh? ” “ Nothing, thank God.
uc1.b3549035	So you had those chaps in the house yesterday, did you? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	So, then, you really do not know if there actually was a woman or a girl at all?
uc1.b3549035	Somebody die and leave him a fortune? ” “ No.
uc1.b3549035	Sorry to interrupt, but, tell me, please: is the man who models your show- window effigies named Loti, then?
uc1.b3549035	Speak quickly; where may we go to talk in safety?
uc1.b3549035	Stables would be closed and all the grooms, et cetera, off duty for the night at that hour, would they not? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Stolen?
uc1.b3549035	Stop here until morning? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Sure she could n't possibly have managed to get into the room and hide herself somewhere, you think? ” “ I am positive she could n't.
uc1.b3549035	Sure they are not? ” “ As sure as I am that I'm speaking to you at this minute.
uc1.b3549035	Surely I can come and go in disguise as I did in the old days, Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	That little military unpleasantness happened out in Ceylon, did it not?
uc1.b3549035	That old bone- handled pocket knife there his?
uc1.b3549035	That you do n't know either? ” “ Know?
uc1.b3549035	That you do n't know either? ” “ Know?
uc1.b3549035	That you've found something that leads you to suspect where the animal is? ”"More than suspect, Major.
uc1.b3549035	That's in Suffolk, is n't it?
uc1.b3549035	That's rather late to be cleaning, up a hall, is n't it? ” “ Yes, much too late,"she acknowledged.
uc1.b3549035	That's the man, is n't it? ” “ Yes, that's the man."
uc1.b3549035	That's the man, is n't it? ” “ Yes,"said Narkom,"that's the man.
uc1.b3549035	That's the ‘ lay of the land,'is n't it? ” “ Yes, that's it precisely.
uc1.b3549035	The Ladder of Light?
uc1.b3549035	The baby Earl of Strathmere?
uc1.b3549035	The filly has n't'gone wrong'sud- denly, has she? ” “ She's done more than'gone wrong'— she's gone alto- gether!
uc1.b3549035	The man is web- footed and —"“ The man is what? ” rapped in Cleek excitedly.
uc1.b3549035	The manner in which that clockwork john- nie stopped in his tracks and eyed us as we passed?"
uc1.b3549035	The new blue limousine, eh?
uc1.b3549035	The one in question who treated me so cavalierly last August in that business regarding the disappearance of that chap James Colliver? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	The papers will be ringing with it to- morrow. ” “ Ringing with it?
uc1.b3549035	The parcel the girl gave Edgburn to carry out on the pretext of taking it to an orphanage?
uc1.b3549035	The question is, how and when did she get out?
uc1.b3549035	The statement is correct, is it not? ” “ To the best of my belief — yes. ” “ Filed it with his solicitors, did he?"
uc1.b3549035	The statement is correct, is it not? ” “ To the best of my belief — yes. ” “ Filed it with his solicitors, did he?"
uc1.b3549035	The white stuff on her beak?
uc1.b3549035	Them Apaches, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Then could you man- age to meet me in the bar parlour of a little inn called the French Horn, out Shere way, in Surrey, about four o'clock?
uc1.b3549035	Then she is a neighbour of Barrington- Edwards? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Then that's the reason we never hear any more of him in Yard matters, is it?
uc1.b3549035	Then why?
uc1.b3549035	Then, after a moment: “ And Mr. Barrington- Edwards lives in the neighbourhood of Hampstead Heath, does he? ” he asked quite calmly.
uc1.b3549035	They were going out to tea; and one of them sang out to him laughingly,'Hallo, Ginger, how does that two- shilling turnip of yours make it?
uc1.b3549035	Those the socks he had on?
uc1.b3549035	Time for tea at Buckingham Palace?'
uc1.b3549035	To begin with, how came the Ladder of Light to be in your possession at all? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Trip him up in some little bit of crooked busi- ness, sir, and ‘ did him down,'as the'Mericans say?".
uc1.b3549035	Two are enough for fair play in any little bout and — not going to stop and see the finish, Captain?
uc1.b3549035	Understand? ” “ Yes, sir.
uc1.b3549035	Used to attend to all my correspondence for me and — Good God, man, what are you doing?
uc1.b3549035	Was he lying on his face when found?
uc1.b3549035	Was she also working for the salvation of the boy? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Was that report found to be correct, then? ” “ In a measure, yes.
uc1.b3549035	Was that what you said? ” “ Yes.
uc1.b3549035	Was that ‘ Hilmann'woman ever allowed to enter this room?
uc1.b3549035	Was the man an accountant of some sort? ” “ Lummy!
uc1.b3549035	Was there a smear of earth upon them?
uc1.b3549035	Were his fingers clenched in the grass?
uc1.b3549035	Were they agreeable to the arrangement? ” “ Not they.
uc1.b3549035	Were you out of your head? ”'“ Good lud!
uc1.b3549035	Were you so much alarmed that Mr. Drum- mond did not keep the appointment? ”.
uc1.b3549035	What about the boy? ”.
uc1.b3549035	What are you using this ma- 176 CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD chine for, then, if you've got one of your own?
uc1.b3549035	What are you, man? ” “ Cleek, ” he made answer, calmly drawing out a chair and taking his seat at the table.
uc1.b3549035	What do you figure it to have been, monsieur?
uc1.b3549035	What do you know of me that you make use of that term? ” “ What everybody in the world will know by to- morrow.
uc1.b3549035	What do you make of it, eh? ”.
uc1.b3549035	What do you mean by thieves?
uc1.b3549035	What do you pro- pose to do? ” “ The only thing that's left us to do, ” gave back Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	What do you sup- pose has become of the Apaches and of the pedler chap? ”.
uc1.b3549035	What does Loti himself say with regard to the circumstance?
uc1.b3549035	What does he mean by talking about thieves? ” “ The necklace — the Ranee's necklace!
uc1.b3549035	What folly?"
uc1.b3549035	What friends has he outside of myself?
uc1.b3549035	What had he to gain?
uc1.b3549035	What have you found out?
uc1.b3549035	What is it you want that you come in upon us like this? ” Ah, what indeed?
uc1.b3549035	What is it you want that you come in upon us like this? ” Ah, what indeed?
uc1.b3549035	What is it?
uc1.b3549035	What motive could a harmless little chap like this have for killing the man he served?"
uc1.b3549035	What on earth are you smiling in that queer way for?
uc1.b3549035	What on earth are you talking about? ” “ That man Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	What on earth had lint to do with the matter? ” “ I had bought it for Miss Eastman when I was in town this morning.
uc1.b3549035	What the dickens was that? ” “ That ” was undoubtedly the tingle of a handful of gravel against the panes of the window.
uc1.b3549035	What was it about?"
uc1.b3549035	What was it? ”.
uc1.b3549035	What were these hieroglyphics, Mr. Narkom?
uc1.b3549035	What were you, who were you, in the days before?".
uc1.b3549035	What'll I do?
uc1.b3549035	What's he driving at?
uc1.b3549035	What's that, Doctor?
uc1.b3549035	What's that, your lordship, may I ask? ” “ Oh, a relic of the old feudal times, Mr. Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that?
uc1.b3549035	What's that? ” Cleek's voice flicked in like the crack of a whip.
uc1.b3549035	What's the case?
uc1.b3549035	What's the matter?
uc1.b3549035	What's up?
uc1.b3549035	What?
uc1.b3549035	What?
uc1.b3549035	What?
uc1.b3549035	What?
uc1.b3549035	When and how did his end come? ”.
uc1.b3549035	When and where? ” “ In the neighbourhood of Hampstead Heath at two o'clock in the morning.
uc1.b3549035	When did I begin to suspect that Farrow was at the bottom of it?
uc1.b3549035	When did he go, I wonder, and where?"
uc1.b3549035	When did you come down? ” The imbecile merely mumbled and muttered, and shook her nodding head, neither answering nor taking any notice whatsoever.
uc1.b3549035	When was the animal's loss discovered — and how?
uc1.b3549035	When?
uc1.b3549035	When?
uc1.b3549035	Where are Ducroix and his men?
uc1.b3549035	Where did you get the ice rom — and how?
uc1.b3549035	Where is she?
uc1.b3549035	Where is the man?
uc1.b3549035	Where on earth did you get your clues, man?
uc1.b3549035	Where, then? ” 7 or SCOTLAND YARD CLEEK OF SCOTLAND YARD Oy “ At the Inn of the Seven Sinners — on the Quai d'Lorme- a gunshot distant.
uc1.b3549035	Where?
uc1.b3549035	Where?
uc1.b3549035	Where? ” “ At Charing Cross station, sir, jist before I went to the Yard to see you.
uc1.b3549035	Which will you have, old chap — magpie, parrakeet, pigeon, monkey, or mice? ” said young Essington, gayly.
uc1.b3549035	Who are they? ” “ Miss Renfrew is his niece, sir — darter of a dead sister.
uc1.b3549035	Who are you, that you come in like this and get a respectable widow in trouble, dog?
uc1.b3549035	Who are you?
uc1.b3549035	Who found him?
uc1.b3549035	Who is Captain MacTavish?
uc1.b3549035	Who is she? ” “ Probably the most beautiful, unscrupulous, reckless, dare- devil spy in all Europe, Sir Charles.
uc1.b3549035	Who is the client?
uc1.b3549035	Who knows him any better than I know him — and what do I know of him, at that?
uc1.b3549035	Who should know that better than you whose helping hand has made me what I am?"
uc1.b3549035	Who's she?
uc1.b3549035	Why are n't they here? ” — looking vainly about for some sign of the Chief of Police.
uc1.b3549035	Why ca n't we drop in ourselves and tell the man when we get back to Sheffield on our way to London? ”.
uc1.b3549035	Why did it wait to begin until after the Honourable Felix Carruthers had lost his money?
uc1.b3549035	Why did n't we think of him before?
uc1.b3549035	Why has he begun to fail in health?
uc1.b3549035	Why in heaven's name does n't the man come?"
uc1.b3549035	Why should I?
uc1.b3549035	Why should it worry you at this late day?
uc1.b3549035	Why?
uc1.b3549035	Why?
uc1.b3549035	Why? ” – “ Oh, nothing in particular.
uc1.b3549035	Why? ” “ Oh, just a mere whim of mine, that's all.
uc1.b3549035	Widower, was n't he?
uc1.b3549035	Will the lady to whom you refer be Miss Margaret Larue, the celebrated actress?
uc1.b3549035	Will, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Wo n't you let me ask you what I was going to do downstairs?
uc1.b3549035	Wo n't you, dad?
uc1.b3549035	Wo n't you?
uc1.b3549035	Won- der if Cleek ever crossed him in something?
uc1.b3549035	Wonder if he, too, was on the'crooked side'once, and wanted to make sure of its never being shown up?
uc1.b3549035	Wot did you ever do to the blighter, guv'ner?
uc1.b3549035	Wot's more, we'll take you along and show you — wo n't we, guv'ner, eh?
uc1.b3549035	Would not that be a trifle unusual at such a time of the night? ”"I do n't know.
uc1.b3549035	You ask if anything has happened with regard to that accursed necklace and if I can give you any information on the sub- ject?
uc1.b3549035	You can give me that woman?
uc1.b3549035	You can recognize her?
uc1.b3549035	You could have a rippin'old flare- up here if that stuff was to catch fire from a dropped match or anything of that sort — eh, what?
uc1.b3549035	You dare to think that? ” flung out his son, jerking back from him and brush- ing aside Lady Leake's solicitous hand.
uc1.b3549035	You do n't think he can have gone back to his old lay — back to the wrong'uns and his old ‘ Vanishing Cracksman's'tricks, do you, sir? ”.
uc1.b3549035	You do n't think, do you, that he can possibly have found out anything about the new one and has set in to follow this? ” “ No, I do not.
uc1.b3549035	You have n't, have you? ” “ No.
uc1.b3549035	You know even me?
uc1.b3549035	You know her?
uc1.b3549035	You may or may not have heard that a certain Frenchy dramatist wrote a play called Chan- ticler — or maybe you never heard of it?
uc1.b3549035	You never did anything but walk about that I could see; and now to declare — I say, MacTavish, did you hear that?
uc1.b3549035	You remember old Marise of the “ Twisted Arm'in Paris?
uc1.b3549035	You remember?
uc1.b3549035	You speak as if it were he that murdered my father; but, man, why should he?
uc1.b3549035	You want to know how?
uc1.b3549035	You've got her? ” “ Yes, Major, I've got her.
uc1.b3549035	You, is it, you blessed young monkey?"
uc1.b3549035	You, of course, feel every confidence in the honour and integrity of Mr. Charles Drummond? ” “ Mr.
uc1.b3549035	You? ” She flashed round on Cleek and looked at him in amazement, her lower lip indrawn, a look almost of horror in her eyes.
uc1.b3549035	Young Beachman's fiancée? ”"Exactly, Sir Charles.
uc1.b3549035	Your room's up here in the servant's quarters, is n't it?"
uc1.b3549035	call a halt, and spoil a good'case before it is halfway to completion? ” “ For the best of reasons, ” replied Narkom earnestly.
uc1.b3549035	do you believe that I do n't know what I'm talking about? ” “ Oh, yes, Major.
uc1.b3549035	do you think they are up to, sir?
uc1.b3549035	for what, m'sieur — for what? ” she cried.
uc1.b3549035	have n't you? ” “ No, sir.
uc1.b3549035	how I wish I knew how to get hold of Cleek — how I wish I did! ” “ Ca n't you find somebody to put you on the lay, sir?
uc1.b3549035	is Gorham a constable, then? ”"Aye — under constable: second to me.
uc1.b3549035	rather unusual course, that, to pursue, is n't it?
uc1.b3549035	that amazing man? ” she cried, her whole face lighting up, her drooping figure springing erect, revitalized.
uc1.b3549035	the great Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	the same man, eh? ” Cleek's tone was full of sudden interest.
uc1.b3549035	then that is what you meant when you alluded to an'animal'when you pounced down upon us, was it?
uc1.b3549035	to have Miss Valmond's story corroborated in this dreadful way. ” “ Miss Valmond?
uc1.b3549035	what's the mat- ter with you?
uc1.b3549035	what?
uc1.b3549035	who did? ”.
uc1.b3549035	who shall the man be? ” exclaimed Marise.
uc1.b3549035	will you have the goodness to let that cosy alone and to clear out when I tell you?
uc1.b3549035	you do n't mean dead? ”.
uc1.b3549035	you've found her, then?
uc1.b3549035	— souls of the saints, what? ”"Blest if I know, ” said Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	— the greatest authority on high explosives in England?
uc1.b3549035	— to change from a happy, laughing, healthy child into a peevish, fretful, constantly complaining one?
uc1.b3549035	— us?
uc1.b3549035	— you never spoke a word, but let the blackguard do it?
uc1.b3549035	“ A beauty, as you say, Major, ” agreed he, “ but do you know that I, for my part, prefer the charms of Chocolate Maid?
uc1.b3549035	“ All ready, Mr. Narkom?
uc1.b3549035	“ Alone?"
uc1.b3549035	“ And how did the par- ties most concerned view this promising little plan?
uc1.b3549035	“ And you think that I stole it?
uc1.b3549035	“ Any idea of who may possibly have been the assailant?
uc1.b3549035	“ Any ideas, Mr. Cleek? ” questioned the major, eagerly.
uc1.b3549035	“ Any ideas, old chap? ” queried Narkom in a whisper as they forged along together in the wake of Nippers and his three companions.
uc1.b3549035	“ Any mirrors in the Round House? ”.
uc1.b3549035	“ Anybody in the habit of sitting out here to read or paint or anything of that sort? ” he asked abruptly.
uc1.b3549035	“ As how?
uc1.b3549035	“ At what time was that?
uc1.b3549035	“ But heavens above, how could the necklace ever have got there?
uc1.b3549035	“ But how was it possible for her to obtain that informa- tion? ” queried Sir Charles.
uc1.b3549035	“ But however in the world did you manage to get over here so soon?
uc1.b3549035	“ But may I say I think you have done right?
uc1.b3549035	“ But the other animal?
uc1.b3549035	“ Can they not?"
uc1.b3549035	“ Cleek, dear chap, is it you? ” “ To be sure.
uc1.b3549035	“ Cleek, eh?
uc1.b3549035	“ Danced with her, Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	“ Did he hear anybody reply? ” “ No, he did not.
uc1.b3549035	“ Did n't I tell you she was a very demon of in- genuity, stupid?
uc1.b3549035	“ Did you examine the case to see if the Ladder of Light was still there before you started? ” “ Yes, Mr. Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	“ Do you mean to tell me that you've got at the bottom of the thing?
uc1.b3549035	“ Do you think I'd have waited until now to do it if it could be done?
uc1.b3549035	“ Find out that, too, from Farrow's fingers? ” “ Oh, no — that would be impossible.
uc1.b3549035	“ For Mr. Cleek – do you hear? ” he said, addressing the car as if it were a human being.
uc1.b3549035	“ Gawd's truth, guv'ner, is it you at last, sir?
uc1.b3549035	“ Get it off all right, did you, Mr. Narkom? ” he asked, glancing round as he heard him enter.
uc1.b3549035	“ Good lord, Marshall, have you gone off your head?
uc1.b3549035	“ Have I not kept my word and brought your excellency across in safety and with speed?".
uc1.b3549035	“ Have we come on a wild goose chase, do you think?
uc1.b3549035	“ His spoils, eh?
uc1.b3549035	“ His will was made in Miss Renfrew's favour, was it? ”.
uc1.b3549035	“ How the dickens does he ferret out these places, I won- der?
uc1.b3549035	“ How, then, am I to regard the people who give this cross testimony — as lunatics or liars?"
uc1.b3549035	“ I may take it from your reply, may I not, that I am correct regarding Mr. Septimus Nosworth's son? ” “ Indeed, yes, sir — right as rain.
uc1.b3549035	“ I say, Deland, what's in the wind? ” he asked.
uc1.b3549035	“ I see, no male servants at all, then? ” “ No, sir; not one.
uc1.b3549035	“ I should think it would, by George? ” rapped out the dock master.
uc1.b3549035	“ I suppose all my old duds are still in the locker of the limousine, are n't they?
uc1.b3549035	“ In a straight line from here, eh?
uc1.b3549035	“ Is it not divine, Mr. Headland? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
uc1.b3549035	“ Is this it, Doctor? ” he said, holding the thing up.
uc1.b3549035	“ Is this your idea of ‘ spending the afternoon'with one, turning up when tea is over and twilight about to begin?
uc1.b3549035	“ It is, eh?
uc1.b3549035	“ Let's see, now, where was I? ” said Trent, knotting up his brow.
uc1.b3549035	“ Mirrors?
uc1.b3549035	“ Miss Larue?
uc1.b3549035	“ My dear chap, how on earth do you manage it?"
uc1.b3549035	“ My friend, have you taken to reading penny novelettes of late?
uc1.b3549035	“ New place all right, old chap?
uc1.b3549035	“ Not a living soul, Mr. Cleek. ” “ Could no one have stolen it without your knowledge? ” “ That would be impossible.
uc1.b3549035	“ Not an adjoining one? ”"Oh, no; an adjoining room would be an impossibility.
uc1.b3549035	“ Not the great Septimus Nosworth? ” he questioned eagerly.
uc1.b3549035	“ Not the man who invented Lithamite?
uc1.b3549035	“ Oh, does n't he? ” said Narkom with an ugly laugh.
uc1.b3549035	“ Oh, that's it, is it? ” said he.
uc1.b3549035	“ Oh, that's the trouble, is it? ” he interposed.
uc1.b3549035	“ Plenty of petrol? ” Narkom faced round as he spoke and looked at Lennard.
uc1.b3549035	“ Radium in the doll?
uc1.b3549035	“ Ready, are you, Mr. Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	“ Right was I, Mr. Narkom? ” he queried smilingly.
uc1.b3549035	“ Royalty? ” it repeated.
uc1.b3549035	“ Run down and get my sketching materials out of the locker, will you, Mr. Nar- kom? ” he added.

uc1.b3549035	“ She has n't any new shoes on, has she?
uc1.b3549035	“ So if you will state the case at once he will be able to advise. ” “ A detective?
uc1.b3549035	“ So our Tinplate Knight is that sort of a sportsman, is he, the cad?
uc1.b3549035	“ So you are back in England, it seems?
uc1.b3549035	“ Sure about that, are you? ” questioned Cleek.
uc1.b3549035	“ Sure of that, Sir Charles? ” he in- quired placidly.
uc1.b3549035	“ Sure that she was not?
uc1.b3549035	“ Tell me first of all, ” he asked, “ how under heaven you came to suspect how the disappearance of the boy was managed?
uc1.b3549035	“ That woman?
uc1.b3549035	“ The pitch darkness of a public hotel at dinner time?
uc1.b3549035	“ Vanished from a glass- room into which people were looking at the time?
uc1.b3549035	“ Was n't that in the room, then? ” “ Oh, yes, but it was n't on the chair; it was on me.

uc1.b3549035	“ Well, upon my word, Johnston, this is rather an original sort of performance, is n't it?"
uc1.b3549035	“ What are you doing out here at this time of night, you young monkey?
uc1.b3549035	“ What is it, old chap- eh? ” “ Let me alone, let me alone! ” flung back Cleek, irritably.
uc1.b3549035	“ What is it?
uc1.b3549035	“ What lark are you up to now?
uc1.b3549035	“ What sort of an insane man must you have thought me, Marshall, to credit such a thing as that?
uc1.b3549035	“ What were you doing knocking about that part of the house at that hour of the night?
uc1.b3549035	“ What, Tom Farrow?
uc1.b3549035	“ What- ever makes you ask such a thing as that, Mr. Cleek? ”.
uc1.b3549035	“ When you called up to the glass- room through the speaking- tube, to say that the boy was about to go up, who answered you — Loti? ”.
uc1.b3549035	“ Where shall it be, then?
uc1.b3549035	“ Which he did n't, of course?"
uc1.b3549035	“ Who's there?'
uc1.b3549035	“ Why do n't you advertise for him, then? ” he suggested.
uc1.b3549035	“ Why do you say “ as usual,'my friend?
uc1.b3549035	“ Why have you done this dreadful thing? ” she demanded in a low, fierce tone as soon as he came up with her.
uc1.b3549035	“ Why risky, old chap?
uc1.b3549035	“ Why, mother! ” she said in her gentle way, “ whatever are you doing down here, dearest?
uc1.b3549035	“ Wo n't you tell him you are pleased to see him? ”.
uc1.b3549035	“ Yes, but before, Cleek?
uc1.b3549035	“ Yes, is n't it? ” agreed Cleek, with his best blithering- idiot air.
uc1.b3549035	“ You know of that?
uc1.b3549035	“ You ought to have known from the first, Sir Mawson, that they do n't make thieves of this sort of material? ” “ Thieves?
uc1.b3549035	“ You ought to have known from the first, Sir Mawson, that they do n't make thieves of this sort of material? ” “ Thieves?
uc1.b3549035	“ You surely do not mean to infer that the woman telegraphed messages from this house?
uc1.b3549035	“ You've found out some- thing, then? ”"I hope, Mr. Narkom, I have found out everything, ” he replied with a marked emphasis on the word hope.
uc1.b3549035	“'What folly?'

uva.x030759408	I hope you will allow me to express my condolences.?
uva.x030759408	I say, you are n't going to implicate old Strang- wise, too, are you? ” he asked. uva.x030759408 The maid did n't see Nur- el- Din give you the box?"
uva.x030759408	Then you will lunch with me, eh? uva.x030759408 This man who tied you up you did n't see him?''
uva.x030759408	What did it mean? ” he asked himself. uva.x030759408 What, to see Nur- el- Din?
uva.x030759408	Where is this Mr. Mortimer? ” he asked. uva.x030759408 Where's Minna? ” he asked.
uva.x030759408	Who is this letter from?
uva.x030759408	Why do n't you go home, my dear?' uva.x030759408 You're leaving here to- morrow then? ” said Des- mond presently.
uva.x030759408	'Why do you say I have stolen the box? ” pro- tested Barbara, “ when I tell you I know nothing of it.
uva.x030759408	* Who does not know the charming Nur- el- Din? ” he replied.
uva.x030759408	. “ About his escape from Germany?"

uva.x030759408	A conjurer? ” “ Good Lord, man, where have you been living? ” replied Fletcher.
uva.x030759408	About our meeting the Mackwaytes last night? ” After he had spoken he realized he had blundered.
uva.x030759408	All said and done, what had he actually told Desmond?
uva.x030759408	And I tell you he kept his eyes and ears open! ” “ Was be able to tell you anything good? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	And alone? ” the nasal voice broke in sharply.
uva.x030759408	And had Nur- el- Din discovered their treachery?
uva.x030759408	And had he sacrificed Barbara Mackwayte to his ob- stinacy and his credulousness?
uva.x030759408	And his voice.. “ Well? ” said the man at the telephone, curtly.
uva.x030759408	And how are the powers? ” He lowered his voice and gazed mysteriously at him.

uva.x030759408	And she would n't let me disturb you, neither, sir. ” “ But did she leave no note or anything for me? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	And the secret door showed us how they had gone.. “ But I thought you had a man posted at the back?'
uva.x030759408	And then I think she'd better go to bed. ” “ But what about the treatment to- night? ” asked Mrs. Malplaquet.
uva.x030759408	And then he said very deliberately in Ger- man: AT THE MILL HOUSE 139 “ War niemand da?"
uva.x030759408	And then it come over me quite sudden- like that burglary and murder had been done in the house and wot would I say if a p’liceman come along?
uva.x030759408	And there's many a one worse off than we are to- day! ” “ Any luck at the agent's, daddy? ” Mr. Mackwayte shook his head.
uva.x030759408	And vy did n't I not do it?
uva.x030759408	And who 154 OKEWOOD OF THE SECRET SERVICE was his confederate?
uva.x030759408	And you shall show me your pretty English country, voulez- vous?

uva.x030759408	Are there any developments, do you know?"
uva.x030759408	As for the others'“ Gone? ” queried Desmond with a sudden sinking at his heart.
uva.x030759408	As soon as the door had closed behind her, Nur- el- Din exclaimed: “ You know me, hein? ” Desmond bowed in the most correct Continental manner.
uva.x030759408	BAFFLED 115 “ Will you"And why the blazes did n't you come and tell me? ” demanded the Chief furiously.
uva.x030759408	Bellward? ” said Mortimer, in a pleasant cultivated voice, “ I am pleased to have this oppor- tunity of meeting you personally.
uva.x030759408	But how do you know Strangwise? ”"I met him at the Nineveh Hotel in town one night, ” replied Desmond.
uva.x030759408	But how goes the enemy, Matthews? ” “ It's half past two, ” replied the latter, “ we should reach Cannon Street by three.
uva.x030759408	But how?
uva.x030759408	But how?
uva.x030759408	But if they had mur- dered her, what had they done with the body?
uva.x030759408	But look here; why not come over the wall and step inside the house with me?
uva.x030759408	But the end?
uva.x030759408	But what do all these anxious looking gentry want?"
uva.x030759408	But what had become of the trio?
uva.x030759408	But when one is an invalid"“ You are one of Dr. Radcombe's patients, then? ” said Desmond.
uva.x030759408	But who's this? ” He pointed to “ Buzzer ” Barling who stood stiffly at attention beside Desmond's chair.
uva.x030759408	But wo n't you come in, sir? ” he said to the Chief and led the way across the mosaic tile pathway to the front door which stood open.
uva.x030759408	But you can tell our friend all we know about the lady's antecedents — what we had from my French col- league the other day, you know?
uva.x030759408	By the way, what had Mortimer done with his car?
uva.x030759408	By the way, your dinner's ordered too! ” “ But who the devil are you? ” asked Desmond in amazement.
uva.x030759408	By the window, was it not? ” Through sheer apprehension, Desmond was now keyed up to a kind of desperate audacity.
uva.x030759408	CHAPTER XIV BARBARA TAKES A HAND"N?
uva.x030759408	Come to give us young'uns some tips? ” And even THE DEPUTY TURN 9 now the stage manager was talking over old days with her father.
uva.x030759408	Could he leave the meeting for 25 minutes without arousing suspicions?
uva.x030759408	Could n't I not haf drop the svag and ron avay?
uva.x030759408	Curious coincidence, is n't it? ” When one is angry, to be baffled in argument does not have a sedative effect as a rule.
uva.x030759408	Desmond, at a loss what to make of this extra- ordinary individual, answered at random: “ The powers?
uva.x030759408	Did Bellward undertake these trips to fetch news or to transmit it?
uva.x030759408	Did this person seem in a hurry? ” “ A little light tread.
uva.x030759408	Did you see any of her entour- age?
uva.x030759408	Did you see the assault at Verdun?
uva.x030759408	Do you happen to know her house?"
uva.x030759408	Do you know what you are say- ing?"
uva.x030759408	Do you know where he is, Okewood?"
uva.x030759408	Do you know who's with him...?"
uva.x030759408	Do you know why I intervened to save you? ” Desmond smiled.
uva.x030759408	Do you know why he really went back to the Dyke Inn?"
uva.x030759408	Do you know, for instance, where she often spends the week- end?
uva.x030759408	Do you think I could have my shoes and stockings dried and get some tea?
uva.x030759408	Do you think I do n't know the value of the treasure I was fool enough to entrust to your safe keeping?
uva.x030759408	Doubtless, you have cards, eh?"
uva.x030759408	D’you want the'ole ruddy plice abart our ears?"
uva.x030759408	Got a bit of a crack, what?
uva.x030759408	Got your props there?

uva.x030759408	Had he been wrong in thinking Nur- el- Din a victim?
uva.x030759408	Had n't she half- captivated him, the would- be spy- catcher, already?
uva.x030759408	Had there been foul play here, too?
uva.x030759408	Hafen't I not gif myself op to the policeman?
uva.x030759408	Has he been cashiered for wearing shoes or what? ” Spencer's manner became a trifle formal.
uva.x030759408	Has she been appearing here long? ”"First appearance in London, old man, and she's made good from the word ‘ Go!
uva.x030759408	Have n't you got any guts any of you?
uva.x030759408	Have you come to interview me?"
uva.x030759408	He grinned and added: “ Where's your kit? ” “ In the hold, I expect!"
uva.x030759408	He paused, fearing to be rash; then he risked it: “ And lastly, Nur- el- Din? ” The Chief leant back in his chair and laughed.
uva.x030759408	He stopped to skirt a tram, then added suddenly: “ Do you know him well, Okewood? ” “ Yes, I think I do, ” said Desmond.
uva.x030759408	Her business manager, a fat Italian who calls himself Lazarro, did you notice him?
uva.x030759408	How are you, Spencer?
uva.x030759408	How are you, my friend?
uva.x030759408	How did you know, before we ever went to Seven Kings, that Barney did not murder old Mackwayte?
uva.x030759408	How do you mean, sir?"
uva.x030759408	How much did this uncanny creature know?
uva.x030759408	How on earth did the Chief know about his visit to the Palaceum?
uva.x030759408	How on earth do you come to be in this state?"
uva.x030759408	How was he, Desmond, to disguise himself to re- semble him?
uva.x030759408	Hullo, Maurice, ” he said, “ are you off, too?!!
uva.x030759408	I can not tell you, for her real name we have not been able to ascertain.. parbleu, it is impossible, with the Boches at Warsaw, hein?
uva.x030759408	I haf heard only his step! ” “ What sort of step?
uva.x030759408	I hopes as how I did n't do wrong, Mr. Bellward, sir?"
uva.x030759408	I might have guessed, since Miss Mackwayte knew Mortimer>) “ Miss Mackwayte knows Mortimer?"
uva.x030759408	I say I haf stolen, but murder?
uva.x030759408	I see the red flash and I smell the... the powder not?
uva.x030759408	I sha n't see you again..."“ You wo n't see me again?
uva.x030759408	I suppose you did n't get my letter? ” “ Which letter was that?"
uva.x030759408	I suppose you did n't get my letter? ” “ Which letter was that?"
uva.x030759408	I swear.. “ Get him up! ” said the Chief in disgust, “ and, look here, ca n't you give him a drink?
uva.x030759408	I was terrified lest they should want me to go to it. ” “ Why?"
uva.x030759408	I wonder what he's up to? ” Mr. Marigold did n't miss much.
uva.x030759408	I've'ad my bit of trobble mit the police and vy should I tell them how I vos op to a game last night if I vas not a- telling the trewth, eh?
uva.x030759408	If you do not come alone, you will waste your time! ” “ Where are you speaking from? ” Desmond asked.
uva.x030759408	In the meantime I'm going to for- get the war for this evening! ” “ What are you going to do to- night? ” asked Strangwise.
uva.x030759408	Is Strangwise that type? ” Desmond thought a moment.
uva.x030759408	Is all my sacrifice to have been in vain?''
uva.x030759408	Is it absolutely necessary for me to disap- So you pear?"
uva.x030759408	Is it merely a coinci- dence that a hair, resembling Nur- el- Din's, is found adhering to the straps with which Barbara Mack- wayte was bound?
uva.x030759408	Is it the police?"
uva.x030759408	Is n't it so?"
uva.x030759408	Is that right? ” “ Yes, and, of course, Captain Strangwise “ What about him?"
uva.x030759408	Is that right? ” “ Yes, and, of course, Captain Strangwise “ What about him?"
uva.x030759408	It was an awful charge to bring against an orficer, d’you see?
uva.x030759408	It's because I admire all this about him that I think perhaps it's just jealousy on my part wien I feel “ What?"
uva.x030759408	It's part of your work to look after deserters and absentees and those sort o'folk, is n't it?'
uva.x030759408	Just in from France?"
uva.x030759408	Let him have all the particulars about this Barling case- you know about that, do n't you?
uva.x030759408	Malplaquet had put it very strite, so she'ad, and wot he wanted to know was what Mortimer'ad to siy?"
uva.x030759408	Marcelle, taking off her heavy head- dress, answered quickly: “ Who told you that? ” “ Never mind,"replied Strangwise.
uva.x030759408	Might not Marie have come to tell her that Barbara Mackwayte was below asking for her?
uva.x030759408	My friend, where are your eyes? ” He put a large, firm hand up and touched the up- per edge of the left lapel of his jacket.
uva.x030759408	No trace of the others?
uva.x030759408	No, it is not the police! ” “ Who is it, then? ” asked Desmond, completely nonplussed.
uva.x030759408	No?
uva.x030759408	Now do you understand why I did n't want you to think I was flattering you?
uva.x030759408	Now will you come with me?"
uva.x030759408	O CAPTAIN STRANGWISE ENTERTAINS 17 “ Spencer, ” he said abruptly, “ what's worth see- ing in London?
uva.x030759408	OKEWOOD OF THE SECRET SERVICE “ What is there against her?
uva.x030759408	Oh, it's you, Gordon?
uva.x030759408	Oi, oi, oi, how shall you belief vot I tell? ” He broke off trembling.
uva.x030759408	One is this girl...""The other being the late Mr. Bellward? ” queried Mrs. Malplaquet.
uva.x030759408	Or do you? ” Desmond laughed.
uva.x030759408	Or is he one of these harum- scarum soldier of fortune sort of chaps? ”''I should say he was devilish shrewd, ” replied the other.
uva.x030759408	Promise it, my friend?"
uva.x030759408	Really?
uva.x030759408	Rescue'em? ” the pilot ejacu- lated, as Desmond walked in, “ I'd let'em sink, every man Jack o'them, the outrageous murderin'scoun- drels.
uva.x030759408	She went over to Mrs. Appleby's in her dressing- gown, in a taxi. ” “ Then Master Burglar did n't burgle this room?"
uva.x030759408	She would play the espionne, hein?
uva.x030759408	Should he make a dash for it or stay where he was and await developments?
uva.x030759408	Six o'clock suit you? ” “ Certainly, sir, ” said Mr. Marigold.
uva.x030759408	So this was Mrs. Malplaquet's house, was it?
uva.x030759408	Strangwise is a Canadian, is n't he? ” “ I think so,"answered Desmond,"anyhow, he has lived there.
uva.x030759408	Strangwise?
uva.x030759408	Suppose Mortimer, growing suspicious, had made use of Nur- el- Din to lure him to an ambush in this lonely place?
uva.x030759408	Surely it was risky to have en- trusted it to a girl of whom you knew nothing?"
uva.x030759408	THE STAR OF POLAND 185 “ What murder? ” he asked, striving to banish any trace of interest from his voice.
uva.x030759408	That is your offer, is n't it?
uva.x030759408	That's what Hamley and all the military writers teach, is n't it?
uva.x030759408	Then he added: “ Do you mind if I have a few words with Nur- el- Din before I go? ” The unexpected question caught Desmond off his guard.
uva.x030759408	Then he spoke into the telephone: “ Marigold?
uva.x030759408	Then his face grew grave and he added: “ Your last question answers all the others! ” “ Meaning Nur- el- Din?"
uva.x030759408	Then she goes out motoring with.. “ But why in Heaven's name are all these people allowed to run loose? ”'broke in Desmond.
uva.x030759408	Then to Harrison, he added: “ That's what we've got to discover... hullo, who's this?''
uva.x030759408	Then, looking up archly at Desmond, she said: “ Am I so distasteful, then, to have in your house? ” She made a charming picture.
uva.x030759408	There was a wireless from the Admiral about you. ” 92 OKEWOOD OF THE SECRET SERVICE you know?"
uva.x030759408	They are be- coming inconvenient in London, you understand? ” “ But the theatre, your professional engage- ments?'
uva.x030759408	They are be- coming inconvenient in London, you understand? ” “ But the theatre, your professional engage- ments?'
uva.x030759408	Vot do I know of Lon- don?
uva.x030759408	Was Mortimer's the guiding hand of this network of conspiracy?
uva.x030759408	Was he sup- posed to know him?
uva.x030759408	Was he too late?
uva.x030759408	Was he, after all, nothing but a credulous fool who had been hoodwinked by a pretty woman's play- acting?
uva.x030759408	Was it heavy or light or what?
uva.x030759408	Was the uninvited guest the deus ex machina who was to help him, Desmond, out of his present perilous fix?
uva.x030759408	Was there anybody else in the room when she gave you the package? ” “ No,"said Barbara, “ I do n't think so.
uva.x030759408	Was this a callous murderess, a hired spy, who, with her great eyes brimming over with tears, entreated his protection so simply, so appealingly?
uva.x030759408	We had to employ a rather drastic form of the third degree for her, did n't we, Strangwise? ” He laughed waggishly.
uva.x030759408	Well, rather often, does n't he? ” “ I know what you mean, ” said the Chief.
uva.x030759408	Well, what do you want from me in exchange? ” “ The Star of Poland! ” said Strangwise in a low voice.
uva.x030759408	Were you at Metz with his Imperial Highness?
uva.x030759408	Were you present at the cap- ture of the Fort of Douaumont?"
uva.x030759408	What a shocking affair this is about old Mackwayte, is n't it?
uva.x030759408	What about her?"
uva.x030759408	What about his uniform strewn about the compartment where he had changed?
uva.x030759408	What am I here for?
uva.x030759408	What an annoying man the Chief was to deal with to be sure?
uva.x030759408	What becomes of her?
uva.x030759408	What did Bellward look like?
uva.x030759408	What do you say, Matthews? ” “ I've seen a lot of Mr. Crook's work in my day, sir, ” answered the clerk, “ but nothing better than this.
uva.x030759408	What does the doctor say?"
uva.x030759408	What had happened to Major Okewood?
uva.x030759408	What if Nur- el- Din had succeeded in making good her escape to the Continent?
uva.x030759408	What if this were a trap?
uva.x030759408	What on earth could in- duce her to adopt this tone of condescension towards him?
uva.x030759408	What on earth did she want with him?
uva.x030759408	What part am I to play in this business anyway? ” “ To- morrow,"said the Chief, buttoning up his coat,"you become Mr.
uva.x030759408	What sent you away in such a hurry this afternoon?
uva.x030759408	What the devil did the Chief want with him anyhow?
uva.x030759408	What the devil do you mean by it?
uva.x030759408	What then had become of her?
uva.x030759408	What value has a trifling object like that?
uva.x030759408	What was the use of struggling further?
uva.x030759408	What will the Chief think of me?'
uva.x030759408	What's amiss?
uva.x030759408	What's that?
uva.x030759408	What's the betting in Fleet Street on the war lasting another five years?
uva.x030759408	When she had finished, the Chief said, addressing Lambelet: “ What do you make of it, Colonel? ” The little Frenchman made an expressive gesture.
uva.x030759408	When will you come and meet him at my house? ” Mortimer's voice, rising above the buzz of con- versation, checked his reply.
uva.x030759408	When?"
uva.x030759408	Where did he live?
uva.x030759408	Where did she say she went to when she escaped to Brussels?"
uva.x030759408	Where the deuce is my house- keeper?
uva.x030759408	Where's your theatre trunk?
uva.x030759408	Where, then, was he?
uva.x030759408	Which is it?"
uva.x030759408	Who are you?"
uva.x030759408	Who did it, d'you think, sir?"
uva.x030759408	Who is hunting you?
uva.x030759408	Who is this Mortimer that he should seek to do you harm?"
uva.x030759408	Who was it, then?
uva.x030759408	Who's on the bill with you?"
uva.x030759408	Whom did he go to meet?
uva.x030759408	Why did n't you? ” His voice was stern and hard now, very different from his usual quiet and mellow tones.
uva.x030759408	Why did you have me followed last night?
uva.x030759408	Why did you send for me?
uva.x030759408	Why had n't he asked the Chief all these questions?
uva.x030759408	Why should Fran- cis thus lay down the law to him about Nur- el- Din?
uva.x030759408	Why should he not telephone in Mortimer's presence?
uva.x030759408	Why should he show his hand?
uva.x030759408	Why the devil had n't he brought a revolver with him?
uva.x030759408	Why, who do you think I ran into at Harris'this morning?
uva.x030759408	Will you smoke?!
uva.x030759408	Wo n't you go down and see?"
uva.x030759408	Would it draw her?
uva.x030759408	Would that chance come again?"
uva.x030759408	Would you call him a well- balanced fel- low?
uva.x030759408	Would you ring and ask the maid to telephone for a taxi? ” “ I have one outside,"answered Desmond.
uva.x030759408	Yet how could he get away unobserved?
uva.x030759408	You are the pattern of prudence, are you not? ” He paused perceptibly and Desmond held his breath.
uva.x030759408	You know the way the nails are set in the issue boots? ” The officer nodded.
uva.x030759408	You know where she's staying?
uva.x030759408	You serve the German Empire, do you not?"
uva.x030759408	You under- stand, Bellward?"
uva.x030759408	You understand me, hein?
uva.x030759408	You understand?
uva.x030759408	You understand?
uva.x030759408	You understand?"
uva.x030759408	You were given the job of breaking up this organization, were n't you? ” Desmond was silent.
uva.x030759408	You were never going out, I swear? ” Already Desmond had decided in his mind the course of action he would pursue.
uva.x030759408	You will come and see me, n'est- ce pas?
uva.x030759408	You've got her, eh?
uva.x030759408	You, if any one, should be better able to say what has become of it..."“ Quoi? ” exclaimed Nur- el- Din in genuine sur- prise, “ comment?"
uva.x030759408	You, if any one, should be better able to say what has become of it..."“ Quoi? ” exclaimed Nur- el- Din in genuine sur- prise, “ comment?"
uva.x030759408	a little, soft step... then ole Mac he open the curtain and cry Who are you?'
uva.x030759408	cried Strangwise, “ and abandon Min- na?"
uva.x030759408	has the sentence already been carried out? ” he asked hoarsely.
uva.x030759408	missing, was n't it? ” CAPTAIN STRANGWISE ENTERTAINS 13 “ Yep! ” replied the other smiling, “ that's so!
uva.x030759408	put in Francis, “ are n't you forgetting that blue envelope we took off her just now?"
uva.x030759408	qui sait?"
uva.x030759408	repeated Mr. Mackwayte, “ what is it, Fletcher?
uva.x030759408	retorted Desmond, “ and what of it?
uva.x030759408	said Mortimer,"who was that, I wonder?
uva.x030759408	said the young man and touched the other on the shoulder, “ is n't it Desmond Okewood?
uva.x030759408	she cried,"you are'ere to sell it back to me, hein, or to get your blood money from your accomplice?
uva.x030759408	she went on as though he had not spoken, “ how could I have forgotten it?
uva.x030759408	shouted Mortimer, “ what the devil do you mean by that? ” “ Yes, confederate,"Desmond repeated.
uva.x030759408	take the necessary steps? ” The Chief nodded and pressed the bell.
uva.x030759408	that was before the war?
uva.x030759408	the Mill House, Wentfield you know whom it is you are to see, eh?
uva.x030759408	the man laughed, “ you understand no- TO MRS. MALPLAQUET'S 307 thing of what we are saying, do you? ” he said, ad- dressing Barbara.
uva.x030759408	until... the war is over until I ask you for it?"
uva.x030759408	was it one of the larger houses on the hill, do you know? ” “ I'm afraid I do n't know, ” said Desmond.
uva.x030759408	what is the name?
uva.x030759408	what was that?"
uva.x030759408	you will not give me up to this man?"
uva.x030759408	‘ My God, Captain Strangwise,'says Matthews, as the trio appeared,'What's happened?'
uva.x030759408	“ All ready, Bellward? ” asked Strangwise care- lessly.
uva.x030759408	“ And do you think that Mortimer did this mur- der? ” asked Desmond gently.
uva.x030759408	“ And going back to your work with the Chief? ” Barbara nodded again.
uva.x030759408	“ And how, may I ask?
uva.x030759408	“ And now, ” she sobbed, “ it is lost and all my sacrifice, all my precautions, have been in vain! ” “ But how? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ And the girl herself, ” he asked thickly, “ what of her?'
uva.x030759408	“ And this gentleman here, Matthews? ” asked Desmond, lighting one of the skipper's cigars.
uva.x030759408	“ And what was that?''
uva.x030759408	“ And what's your opinion about this disguise of mine?"
uva.x030759408	“ And where are we going, might I inquire? ” “ To Cannon Street, sir! ”"And from there?"
uva.x030759408	“ And where are we going, might I inquire? ” “ To Cannon Street, sir! ”"And from there?"
uva.x030759408	“ And where did you find Mr. Mackwayte? ” asked the Chief in such a placid voice that Mrs. Chugg cast an indignant glance at him.
uva.x030759408	“ And you think I'll do, Crook, eh? ” Crook rubbed his nose meditatively.
uva.x030759408	“ And you?"
uva.x030759408	“ Any finger- prints? ” asked the Chief in the hall.
uva.x030759408	“ Any orders about me? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ Are you lunching anywhere, Okewood? ” he said.
uva.x030759408	“ Are you sure that is all you have to say to me? ” he asked.
uva.x030759408	“ Are you, by George? ” replied Desmond, “ and now I come to think of it, so am I!"
uva.x030759408	“ Arrest'em?
uva.x030759408	“ Ay, who are you, young fellow? ” repeated Mr. Marigold coming up close to the soldier.
uva.x030759408	“ Because you're going back to France! ” “ Going back to France?
uva.x030759408	“ Broken it already? ” he cried.
uva.x030759408	“ But are there no clues or finger- prints or any- thing of that kind here, Marigold? ” asked the Chief.
uva.x030759408	“ But are you sure the police have n't taken it?"
uva.x030759408	“ But could n't you see the other person at all, not even the outline? ” persisted the Chief.
uva.x030759408	“ But do you believe then, that Nur- el- Din mur- dered old Mackwayte?
uva.x030759408	“ But how on earth is Nur- el- what's her name con- cerned in this murder, Maurice? ” Strangwise shrugged his shoulders.
uva.x030759408	“ But how will we manage it?"
uva.x030759408	“ But how?"
uva.x030759408	“ But is n't it strange, ” he went on, “ to think of the Star of Poland lying out there on the bed of the Channel?
uva.x030759408	“ But is this all you've got against Nur- el- Din? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ But not the House of Hohenzollern? ” the girl cried, her voice trembling with passion.
uva.x030759408	“ But surely if you found evidence of his connec- tion with this gang of spies, it should be easy to get a clue to the rest of the crowd?"
uva.x030759408	“ But surely, sir, such a letter might be presented in perfectly good faith.?"
uva.x030759408	“ But what about his judgment?
uva.x030759408	“ But what is there against her? ” queried Des- mond.
uva.x030759408	“ But what's in the big cupboard, I wonder?
uva.x030759408	“ But when shall I see you again? ” The Chief chuckled.
uva.x030759408	“ But where is this rendezvous of yours, might I ask?"
uva.x030759408	“ But why not have put the jewel in a bank or one of the safe deposits?
uva.x030759408	“ But wo n't you mix yourself a drink?
uva.x030759408	“ But you will come to my room, hein?"
uva.x030759408	“ But,"protested Desmond feebly, “ did you know about this murder beforehand?"
uva.x030759408	“ Clues?
uva.x030759408	“ Come, ma petite, you will help me recover my little box, n'est- ce pas?
uva.x030759408	“ Confederate?"
uva.x030759408	“ Dear me, did n't I, Okewood? ” he an- swered with eyes laughing,"she's my secretary! ” 54 OKEWOOD OF THE SECRET SERVICE'Ah, no!
uva.x030759408	“ Des.,"he asked, “ what do you make of it?
uva.x030759408	“ Did he make much noise?"
uva.x030759408	“ Did n't the Chief tell you? ” said Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ Did she see the man?"
uva.x030759408	“ Did the crowd spot me?"
uva.x030759408	“ Did you have a good night?!'
uva.x030759408	“ Did you say I was in? ” Desmond asked the old housekeeper, who was staring at the dancer.
uva.x030759408	“ Did you see the newspapers yesterday?"
uva.x030759408	“ Do you know this lady of the artistic tempera- ment, Maurice?"
uva.x030759408	“ Do you know this man? ” the Chief asked stern- ly, addressing Strangwise.
uva.x030759408	“ Do you mean to say you ca n't arrest them?"
uva.x030759408	“ Do you think this play- acting will deceive me?
uva.x030759408	“ Do you wish to see the body, sir?"
uva.x030759408	“ From Victoria, I suppose? ” “ Yes, sir,"said the taxi- man.
uva.x030759408	“ Go on, Barney,"said the detective, “ ca n't you see the gentlemen are waiting? ” The Jew resumed, his voice sinking almost to a whisper.
uva.x030759408	“ God bless my soul! ” he exclaimed, his eyes on the figure crouching in the corner,"you do n't mean to say you've got her?
uva.x030759408	“ Have you ever seen her?
uva.x030759408	“ Have you heard nothing about this young lady from the Chief?"
uva.x030759408	“ Have you lost anything?"
uva.x030759408	“ How could I have forgotten it?"
uva.x030759408	“ How do you mean?''
uva.x030759408	“ How does she explain her movements prior to her coming to this country? ” the First Sea Lord asked the Chief.
uva.x030759408	“ How much leave have you got? ” asked Strang- wise.
uva.x030759408	“ How on earth did you know that I was at the Palaceum last night? ” The Chief smiled grimly.
uva.x030759408	“ I shall be delighted to receive our friends, ” Des- mond replied, “ a glass of sherry? ” “ Thank you, ” said Mortimer.
uva.x030759408	“ I suppose she told you a long story of my per- secution, eh, Bellward?
uva.x030759408	“ I suppose you've got something to go on? ” he asked.
uva.x030759408	“ I thought you were seeing Strangwise at two?"
uva.x030759408	“ I ’ ave told the trewth, sir,"he said hoarsely, “ and it goes against me, do n't it?
uva.x030759408	“ If what?"
uva.x030759408	“ If you please, sir, ” she wheezed, “ the doctor's come! ” “ Oh, ” said Desmond, rather puzzled,"what doc- tor?'
uva.x030759408	“ Impossible?
uva.x030759408	“ Is it Miss Mackwayte? ” whispered Francis to his brother.
uva.x030759408	“ Is n't that a car? ” he asked, “ that'll be they.
uva.x030759408	“ Is the girl sleeping? ” Strangwise nodded.
uva.x030759408	“ Is this another of your infernal surprise pack- ets? ” he demanded fiercely.
uva.x030759408	“ It's your friend we want..."“ What?
uva.x030759408	“ Mackwayte?
uva.x030759408	“ Major Okewood? ” he asked.
uva.x030759408	“ Man alive,"he went on, “ how can you talk such nonsense in face of the evidence, with this bloody- minded woman's victims hardly cold yet?
uva.x030759408	“ Matthews, ” said Desmond as he supped, “ would it be indiscreet to ask where we are?"
uva.x030759408	“ May I ask how many guests I may ex- pect?'
uva.x030759408	“ Meaning Behrend? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ Murder?"
uva.x030759408	“ My tear Pellward, ” he cried, “ it is a hondred year since I haf see you, not?
uva.x030759408	“ No,"answered the other; “ but it was your dis- guise which was responsible for the escape of Strang- wise “ What? ” cried Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ Nothing out of the ordinary happened during the night, I suppose? ” he asked again.
uva.x030759408	“ Nur- el- Din? ” he stammered feebly.
uva.x030759408	“ Nur- el- Din?"
uva.x030759408	“ Object? ” said the heavily- jowled man, “ tut, tut, not at all.
uva.x030759408	“ Oh, how dare you?
uva.x030759408	“ Oh, sir, ” she exclaimed when she saw him,"was it about the rooms?"
uva.x030759408	“ Okewood, ” he cried gaily, “ what do you say to a little detective work?
uva.x030759408	“ Our host is silent,"said Mrs. Malplaquet, “ what does Mr. Bellward think about it?"
uva.x030759408	“ Part of my work? ” he repeated, “ it seems to be my whole life ever since I came back from the front."
uva.x030759408	“ Perhaps you would care to re- consider your decision? ” Desmond shook his head.
uva.x030759408	“ Perhaps you would like me to leave you?"
uva.x030759408	“ Pick'em up?
uva.x030759408	“ Put that blarsted shooting- iron awiy! ” he snarled at Mortimer,"and tell us wot's the little gime, will yer?
uva.x030759408	“ Say, are they giving unlimited leave over there now?"
uva.x030759408	“ Seen Strangwise this morning? ” Desmond gasped for breath.
uva.x030759408	“ Shall I tell you some more about yourself?
uva.x030759408	“ Shall we go upstairs? ” He conducted the Chief and Desmond up the short flight of stairs to the first story.
uva.x030759408	“ Shall we make a leetle promenade after the déjeuner?
uva.x030759408	“ So soon? ” he said.
uva.x030759408	“ So that's your Star of Poland, is it? ” cried Beh- rend in a mocking voice.
uva.x030759408	“ So you're Barling, eh? ” he muttered as though talking to himself,'ah!
uva.x030759408	“ Tell me,"said the girl suddenly, “ who was Strangwise?"
uva.x030759408	“ That's cal- culated to set one's thoughts running all over the place, is n't it?
uva.x030759408	“ That's right, ” said the man, looking very in- tently at him, “ feel a bit better, eh?
uva.x030759408	“ The lady has not returned, sir! ” “ Anything from Gordon and Duff? ” “ No, sir, nothing all day! ” The telephone on the desk whirred.
uva.x030759408	“ Then why did he come up here at all? ” asked Desmond.
uva.x030759408	“ Then you've made an arrest? ” The Chief nodded.
uva.x030759408	“ These folk are dealt with somehow and every now and then one of'em gets shot, just to show that we are n't asleep, do n't you know?
uva.x030759408	“ They're murdering those two women down in the cellar, ” she cried,"oh, what has happened?
uva.x030759408	“ They've arrested her? ” asked Desmond with a sudden pang.
uva.x030759408	“ This man on the stairs,"queried the Chief"did you see him?"
uva.x030759408	“ Very few of you have, my friend,"she replied, “ but you are all under his orders, n'est- ce pas? ” Desmond's heart leaped.
uva.x030759408	“ Was there anything left in your absence? ” he asked, “ no, there would be nothing, I suppose! ” Desmond took a firm resolution.
uva.x030759408	“ Well, Matthews? ” “ Captain Strangwise will be along very shortly, sir, ” he said.
uva.x030759408	“ Well, ” he said curtly, “ and where is my secre- tary? ” WHAT THE CELLAR REVEALED 277 “ I do n't know,"Desmond faltered.
uva.x030759408	“ Well,"he said, surveying Desmond, “ and how 171 172 OKEWOOD OF THE SECRET SERVICE do we find ourselves to- day?
uva.x030759408	“ Well?"
uva.x030759408	“ What are they going to do with Nur- el- Din?"
uva.x030759408	“ What did I say?"
uva.x030759408	“ What do you and I matter,"she asked, “ when the whole future of England is at stake?
uva.x030759408	“ What do you mean?
uva.x030759408	“ What do you want here? ” he demanded fiercely,"and who the devil...
uva.x030759408	“ What do you want with me? ” he asked quietly, “ and why do you speak German in my house? ” Mortimer gazed at him blankly.
uva.x030759408	“ What do you want with me? ” he asked quietly, “ and why do you speak German in my house? ” Mortimer gazed at him blankly.
uva.x030759408	“ What if we have? ” asked the Chief again.
uva.x030759408	“ What is the Star of Poland?"
uva.x030759408	“ What time did this attack take place?"
uva.x030759408	“ What time did you part from the Mackwaytes at the theatre last night? ” Desmond was dumbfounded.
uva.x030759408	“ What was that?"
uva.x030759408	“ What will you tell him?"
uva.x030759408	“ What's the feller been up to? ” asked the A.P.M.
uva.x030759408	“ What?"
uva.x030759408	“ Where are you taking me?"
uva.x030759408	“ Where are your eyes, man? ” rapped out Mrs.
uva.x030759408	“ Where is Miss Mackwayte? ” he asked.
uva.x030759408	“ Where the devil is that dog? ” said Strangwise.
uva.x030759408	“ Who is at the head of it?"
uva.x030759408	“ Who is it, Martha? ” he said, mastering his agita- tion.
uva.x030759408	“ Who is it?"
uva.x030759408	“ Whom do you mean?"
uva.x030759408	“ Whose trail?"
uva.x030759408	“ Why are you here, then? ” came back in that hard, uncompromising voice.
uva.x030759408	“ Why do you think it was a large calibre pistol, Major?"
uva.x030759408	“ Why should you think this box should have been taken?
uva.x030759408	“ Why, not the Seven Kings murder, surely? ” The detective gave a brisk nod.
uva.x030759408	“ Why? ” asked Mrs. Malplaquet.
uva.x030759408	“ Will you accept his offer to remain on in the Sceret Service?"
uva.x030759408	“ Will you come at once?
uva.x030759408	“ Would you tell me something about it?"
uva.x030759408	“ You are an officer, I think?"

umn.319510020851149	Ai n’t that having a mind?
umn.319510020851149	Am I suspected?
umn.319510020851149	Am I — in some way or other — in custody? ” Ayscough laughed quietly, wagging his head.
umn.319510020851149	And I believe you had resided with him for some years before that? ” “ Ever since I was a little girl, ” admitted Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	And I may take it that you gradually got a good deal of knowledge about the articles with which your grand- father had to deal?
umn.319510020851149	And ai n’t I the good memory for faces — and wo n’t I know him again if he comes my way?
umn.319510020851149	And did n’t we find that door open?
umn.319510020851149	And did they get the real criminal after all?
umn.319510020851149	And if by hand — who delivered it? ” “ You ’re a cute ’ un, you are! ” observed Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	And now — have you heard anything of my brother Stephen more than what ’s in the papers?
umn.319510020851149	And now — how much was Chen Li going to pay for silence?
umn.319510020851149	And so — what is it? ” “ How much money have you left? ” she asked softly.
umn.319510020851149	And so — what is it? ” “ How much money have you left? ” she asked softly.
umn.319510020851149	And the question now is — ought we not to tell all this to the police, at once?
umn.319510020851149	And there! —- there you will find Chang Li. ” “ You ’ve seen him there? ” demanded Levendale.
umn.319510020851149	And — he was carrying that book in his hand I ’ ’ “ You ’re sure it was that book? ” asked Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	And — incidentally — with diamonds?
umn.319510020851149	And — tl1ere, now, what did I tell you?
umn.319510020851149	And — what possible explanation can there be? ” “ You say you ’ve seen those marks, ” said Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	And.. — yesterday — your expected money not having arrived, you were obliged to visit the pawnshop again?
umn.319510020851149	Anything wrong, Mr. Ays- cough? ” Ayscough moved toward the bushes.
umn.319510020851149	Are you Chang Li? ” The glazed eyes lifted themselves a little wonderingly; the dry lips moved- “ Yes, ” he muttered.
umn.319510020851149	Are you going to ring? ” Melky pointed along the front of the wall.
umn.319510020851149	Are you satisfied, Mr. Rubinstein? ” Melky was making for the door.
umn.319510020851149	Are you — disguised? ” Levendale laughed — ruefully — and glanced at the mean garments which Mrs. Goldmark had spoken of.
umn.319510020851149	Bat-- the fact is, Mr. Multenius appears to have come to his death by violence — and I want to know if whoever took ‘ you?
umn.319510020851149	Brought my card? ”.
umn.319510020851149	Business is business, ai n’t it? ” “ All right! ” agreed Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	But I ’ve not told her what I can tell you, Mr. Ayscough. ” “ And — what ’s that? ” enquired the detective.
umn.319510020851149	But he surprised us! ” “ Aye?
umn.319510020851149	But how could those marks correspond with the marks in his rings? ” “ I tell you it is so! ” answered Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	But these marks-—isn’t that a curious coincidence, now, when you come to think of it? ” “ Not a bit of it! ” replied Mr. Killick.
umn.319510020851149	But what man would have a latch- key to that but Levendale himself?
umn.319510020851149	But where was his proof of that?
umn.319510020851149	But — I shall be ten thousand times more sur- WHAT MANNER or DEATH?
umn.319510020851149	But — had it? ” “ I had n’t thought of diamonds, but I certainly had of South Africa, ” admitted Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	But — however did it get to Multenius ’s?
umn.319510020851149	But — what is this?
umn.319510020851149	But — where ’s the girl — the granddaugh- ter?
umn.319510020851149	But, ” continued Grayson, glancing at Purdie, “ it ’s still odd — for do you.see, sir, where that wire has been sent from?
umn.319510020851149	Can nothing be done? ” But Ayscough only shook his head.
umn.319510020851149	Can you bring any satisfactory proof that those two rings which you claim to be yours, really are yours?
umn.319510020851149	Can — can you lend me a few pounds? ” The girl picked up the watch.again, and again examined it.
umn.319510020851149	Chang Li has — d~ isappeared! ” “ You suspect Chang Li? ” asked Yada.
umn.319510020851149	Chen Li! ” “ Well? ” said Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	Come on! — what about it! — and its owner? ” “ What is this? ” demanded the Coroner.
umn.319510020851149	Come on! — what about it! — and its owner? ” “ What is this? ” demanded the Coroner.
umn.319510020851149	Did I understand you to say these two were medical students at University College? ” “ So Mr. Penniket said, ” replied Melky.
umn.319510020851149	Did you read his name in the paper ’s ac- count of that inquest? ” The American glanced at Lauriston with some curios- ity.
umn.319510020851149	Did your brother tell you that this dia- mond was his own, sole property? ” “ He did, sir! ” answered the farmer.
umn.319510020851149	Did- n’t I say we ’d hear more of it? ” Lauriston pulled out the Times and indicated the Per- sonal Column.
umn.319510020851149	Do n’t it all come out clear to you? — if I find the right man, then there ai n’t no more suspicion attaching to this young chap, ai n’t it?
umn.319510020851149	Do n’t it all come out clear to you? — if I find the right man, then there ai n’t no more suspicion attaching to this young chap, ai n’t it?
umn.319510020851149	Do n’t you now, Mr. Ays- cough? ” “ Very well indeed, my boy! ” agreed the detective, heartily.
umn.319510020851149	Do you know what? — I ai n’t never forgotten a face what I ’ve once looked at!
umn.319510020851149	Do you remember? ” 184: THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Perfectly — of course! ” replied the old gentleman- “ To be sure!"
umn.319510020851149	Do you think it ’s anything to do with our business? ” “ Ca n’t say, ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	Do you want to earn a fiver — comfortable? ” MRS. GOLDMARK ’S EATING- HOUSE 23 “ I should be very glad, ” replied Iiauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Does that satisfy you? ’ ’ 212 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND Melky rose and glanced at the detective before turn- ing to the doctor.
umn.319510020851149	Don ’ t I always say you ’re the smartest business woman in all Paddington?
umn.319510020851149	Eh ‘.1—hasn’t it? ’ ’ “ What, then? ” asked the detective dubiously.
umn.319510020851149	Eh ‘.1—hasn’t it? ’ ’ “ What, then? ” asked the detective dubiously.
umn.319510020851149	Eh? ” “ My rings have been in that trunk for two or three years, ” asserted Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Faithfully, “ STEPHEN Pusvis. ” “ November 15th? ” remarked Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	For God ’s sake, where ’s my diamond? ’ “ Now, I was quick to think.
umn.319510020851149	For this search — how do we know that at any rate one of these Chinamen may n’t have had some connection with this gang?
umn.319510020851149	Found in a fireplace, d’ye say, mister?
umn.319510020851149	Game?
umn.319510020851149	Goldmark, ” he said, “ did you know the man who opened the door? ” “ Not from another! ” replied Mrs. Goldmark.
umn.319510020851149	Goodyer, is n’t it? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	Had he a purchaser in view? ” “ Yes, he said something about that, ” replied John Purvis.
umn.319510020851149	Had you anything to do with his banking account? ” “ No! ” replied Zillah, promptly.
umn.319510020851149	Have you had any luck? ” “ I ’ve sold two stories, ” answered Lauriston, who by that time was feeling as if the girl was an old friend.
umn.319510020851149	Have you seen anybody? ’ ’ “ Not a soul! ” answered Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Have you seen anything of it? ” “ Nothing! ” answered Zillah with certainty.
umn.319510020851149	Haven ’ t you thought of that? ” “ Often! ” answered Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	He ai n’t no lit’ry powers, d’you see?
umn.319510020851149	He did n’t know who the other fellows were, neither. ” “ You ’ve never seen him since? ” suggested Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	He went in there, to Goldmark ’s, with you?
umn.319510020851149	He would be ofl?
umn.319510020851149	He ’d no trouble of any sort, had he? ” “ He seemed a bit upset, once or twice, yesterday — and the night before, ” said the butler.
umn.319510020851149	He ’s a lawyer chap, what the police gets when there ’s a case o ’ this sort, to ask questions of the witnesses, d’ye see?
umn.319510020851149	He ’s gone to South Africa. ’ ‘ What to do there? ’ I asked.
umn.319510020851149	How could it have come here? ” Melky took the old volume out of Lauriston ’s hands, and put it away in a corner cupboard.
umn.319510020851149	How? ” asked Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	However, we can only wait — I believe Miss Ben- nett sent for you, Mr. Purdie? ” “ Yes, ” said Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	I am sure it was the book described here. ” “ And — he went in the direction of the pawnshop? ” said Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	I daresay you see that this is a case of murder-—and there ’s more behind it! ’ ’ “ You suspect Chang Li?
umn.319510020851149	I do n’t know if that ’s of any use to you? ” “ Any detail is of use, Sir, ” answered Ayscough, mak- ing another note.
umn.319510020851149	I hope neither of you are mixed up in it? ” “ Considerably! ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	I know all about you-—you’re the friend that Lauriston asked for a bit of help to see him through, like — ain’t it?
umn.319510020851149	I may call again, may n’t I? ” “ Do! ” she said, giving him her hand.
umn.319510020851149	I repeat — what have you got to sell?
umn.319510020851149	I sup- pose you are discussing it with these gentlemen?
umn.319510020851149	I suppose you ’ve heard nothing of the other Chinaman? ” “ Not a circumstance-—as yet, ” said Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	I wonder where his grand- daughter is?
umn.319510020851149	I ’ll follow you. ” “ What new game ’s this? ’ ’ asked Melky.
umn.319510020851149	I ’ve my own ideas about this here business — wait till I put my hand on somebody, see?
umn.319510020851149	I ’ve never had any conversation with him excepting about the children. ” “ You ’re upset about this book affair? ” suggested Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	If any o ’ them police come round here, ask- ing about him, you don ’ t know nothing — see?
umn.319510020851149	If so — who is he? ” Melky suddenly broke the silence which followed upon this question.
umn.319510020851149	If you ’ll let us do that quietly. ” “ But for what reason? ” demanded the younger man.
umn.319510020851149	In the meantime — I want to know what you ’re going to do about Mr. Lauriston?
umn.319510020851149	Is he here? ’ ’ The two men exchanged glances.
umn.319510020851149	Is he one of you?
umn.319510020851149	Is he still there? ” 94 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Strikes me you ai n’t up to your job! ” remarked Melky, coolly.
umn.319510020851149	Is it a day — or days? ” One of the chess- players lifted a stolid face.
umn.319510020851149	Is it far into that country, or where is it? ” “ Not far across the Border, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Is it what they think at your police- station? — connected with the other affairs?
umn.319510020851149	Is it what they think at your police- station? — connected with the other affairs?
umn.319510020851149	Is n’t it?
umn.319510020851149	Is that clear, Mr. Purdie? ” 105 106 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Quite! ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	Is there anything else now — any bit of luggage you want? ” “ You do all this if I pay you one hundred pounds? ” asked Yada.
umn.319510020851149	Is there anything else now — any bit of luggage you want? ” “ You do all this if I pay you one hundred pounds? ” asked Yada.
umn.319510020851149	It ’s getting a nicer tangle than ever l ’ ’ “ What ’s going to be done? ” enquired the solicitor.
umn.319510020851149	Just a bit of a de- scription, like? ” “ Sure! ” answered the American.
umn.319510020851149	Just so! — now, why did you think you could do nothing for him? ” “ I will tell you — in plain words, ” answered Dr. Mirandolet.
umn.319510020851149	Keep an eye on him as far as you can — didn’t I tell you he ’d come out when we ’d left?
umn.319510020851149	Lauriston knows where it is. ” “ What ’s on? ” asked Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Look here l — I’m stopping at this hotel-—will you come in with me, and we ’ll just get a quiet corner and talk some?
umn.319510020851149	Look here — what do you know? ” “ Know! ” cried Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	Look here! — between you and me — you’re a lit’ry gent, ai n’t you?
umn.319510020851149	Looks strange, now, does n’t it, Mr. Purdie? ” “ I do n’t know Mr. Levendale well enough to say, ” replied Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	MELKY INTERVENES 83 And you do n’t know how many there were-—~nor how many there should be there, now?
umn.319510020851149	More mystery! —- ai n’t I full of it already?
umn.319510020851149	Mr. Daniel Multenius, the jeweller and pawn- broker, of Praed Street — perhaps you know him, sir? ” “ Not at all! ” answered Levendale.
umn.319510020851149	Mr. Guyler! ” “ Sir? ” answered the American.
umn.319510020851149	Mr. Purvis! — are you staying in town? ” The farmer shook his head — but not in the negative.
umn.319510020851149	Multenius? ” The man stared, craned his neck to glance in the direction which Lauriston ’s shaking finger indicated, and then started forward.
umn.319510020851149	My grandfather had taken it out of the front window, so that he could polish the rings. ” “ Do you know how many rings it contained?"
umn.319510020851149	Now then — who’d left it there? ” Another ofiicial had come up to the group — one of the men who had questioned Lauriston the night before.
umn.319510020851149	Now then, who brought it here — who left it here?
umn.319510020851149	Now who ’s the man who lost one in this here parlour — right there! — and the other in Mrs. Goldmark ’s restaurant?
umn.319510020851149	Now — by whom?
umn.319510020851149	Now — did you and he arrange anything about communicating with each other? ” “ Yes, ” replied Melky.
umn.319510020851149	Now, between you and me, mister, what did she lend you on that bit o ’ stuff? ” “ Three pounds fifteen, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Now, how long had you assisted him in that way? ” “ Ever since I left school — three years ago, ” replied Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	Now, if Levendale hears that Chen Li ’s lying dead in our mor- tuary — what?
umn.319510020851149	Now, if he ’d only ha ’ shown ‘ em to me, first, Zillah — see? ” “ Do go, Melky! ” urged Zillah tearfully.
umn.319510020851149	Now, then, do you know anything about him?
umn.319510020851149	Now, then, what money have you about you, Mr. Lauris- ton? ” “ Plenty! ” answered Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	Now, then, what ’s been done, and what ‘s being done, in that way? ” Melky nodded at Purdie, as much as to invite him to speak.
umn.319510020851149	Now, what did happen?
umn.319510020851149	Now, what do you want to see this doctor for? ” he asked as they halted by Dr. Mirandolet ’s door.
umn.319510020851149	Now, ” he continued, turning to the three Chinese, “ is one of you gentlemen Mr. Chang Li? ” “ No! ” replied one of the chess- players.
umn.319510020851149	ONE O’CLOCK MIDNIGHT 259 there not gas lamps 7—am I not blessed with good eyes?
umn.319510020851149	Of course, he ’s absolutely innocen. ” “ Has he been arrested? ” asked Elsie, almost eagerly.
umn.319510020851149	Of course, there ai n’t no need to tell the police precisely where he has gone — what? ” “ Not a bit! ” said Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	Of course, you know who ’s book it is? ” “ Mr.
umn.319510020851149	Oh, I ’ll talk to ’em all right! ” “ What ’re you getting at, all the same? ” asked the de- tective.
umn.319510020851149	Others are not very valuable. ” “ Now what do you mean by that word valuable?
umn.319510020851149	Perhaps you ’ve never had occasion to go to a pawnbroker before?
umn.319510020851149	Pittery says they were n’t brothers? ” suggested Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	Plain! ” “ Well — and what was he doing? ” asked Purdie, de- sirous of getting at facts.
umn.319510020851149	Poison you while they look at you I ” “ Bit cunning and artful about it, mister? ” suggested Melky.
umn.319510020851149	Say! — have you got any idea that this mystery of yours is at all connected with South Africa?
umn.319510020851149	See that man there, a- talking to the detectives? — him with the gold nippers on his blooming sharp nose?
umn.319510020851149	See that man there, a- talking to the detectives? — him with the gold nippers on his blooming sharp nose?
umn.319510020851149	See? ” 137 138 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Are you certain of it — yourself? ” demanded Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	See? ” 137 138 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ Are you certain of it — yourself? ” demanded Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	See? ” Melky murmured that Mr. Ayscough was a cute ’ un, and relapsed into thought until the train pulled up at Praed Street.
umn.319510020851149	See? ” Yada looked round, doubtfully.
umn.319510020851149	She ’s the sort we can discuss business with, eh? ” “ My cousin Zillah Wildrose, mister, ” answered Melky, solemnly, “ is one of the best!
umn.319510020851149	So I looked round the WHOSE WERE THOSE RINGS?
umn.319510020851149	So we ’ll say ten pound — what?
umn.319510020851149	So we ’re with you in that matter, ai n’t we, Zillah? ” “ Mr.
umn.319510020851149	So you ’ve been round to our place? — they told you, there! ” “ They gave us a mere outline, ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	So — can you tell us anything? ” “ I can tell you all I know myself, ” replied John Pur- vis, with a solemn shake of his head.
umn.319510020851149	So — let ’s know what you ’ ve got to sell? ” Yada swept the room with a glance.
umn.319510020851149	Stephen Purvis — where is he? ” “ Upstairs — asleep — dead tired out, ” said Levendale.
umn.319510020851149	Supposing, before the day was out, the ofiicial hand was on him, too?
umn.319510020851149	THE BACK DOOR 95 “ What are you going to do then, Melky? ” she de- manded.
umn.319510020851149	THE MORTUARY 2447 “ It did look as if he ’d a sort of foreboding, eh?
umn.319510020851149	That ’s a fact! ” 182 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ For wilt, mister? ” demanded Melky.
umn.319510020851149	That ’s a fiaetl Mister! — will you put your trust and confidence in me, and do what I tell you?
umn.319510020851149	That ’s in Gower Street, ai n’t it?
umn.319510020851149	That ’s it, ai n’t it, now?
umn.319510020851149	That ’s my theory, Mr. Purdie. ” “ Then — the only question now is — who ’s the man? ” suggested Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	The fact is, sir, Mr. Levendale ’s miss- ing!n “ Missing? ” exclaimed Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	The question I want to get solved is — was the man who undoubtedly left that book here the guilty man?
umn.319510020851149	There was a horror in the garden, in that bright moon- ight — what might there not be in that black, silent house?
umn.319510020851149	There ’s more reasons than one Why we should do that, my man! ” “ What ’re you talking about, J ohn? ” demanded Laur- iston.
umn.319510020851149	They are all old rings. ” “ But — valuable? ” suggested Mr. Parminter.
umn.319510020851149	They were always left like that?
umn.319510020851149	They ’re friends—-not brothers, so they told us. ” “ When did you see them last? ” asked Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	This queer disappearance of yours-—this being away — coming back without your beard and dressed like that! — are n’t you going to explain?
umn.319510020851149	Those rings, now? ” Zillah suddenly remembered all that Ayscough had told her that evening.
umn.319510020851149	Three good, saleable items, I think — yes? ” Purdie watched carefully for some sign of greed or avarice in the informer ’s wily countenance.
umn.319510020851149	WHAT MANNER OF DEATH?
umn.319510020851149	Was it brown- papered, now, when you left it? ” It seemed to Lauriston that Levendale was somewhat taken aback.
umn.319510020851149	Was it sent by post-—or was it delivered by hand?
umn.319510020851149	Well! — this is a go! ” “ What ’s to be done? ” asked Melky.
umn.319510020851149	Well, anything else?"
umn.319510020851149	Were you — hard up — when you came round the other night?
umn.319510020851149	What about that book, now, Mr. Ayscough?
umn.319510020851149	What are you doing here? ” she went on hurriedly, turning to Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	What did he think about what John Purvis had to tell us this afternoon? ” “ He was n’t surprised, ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	What do you con- jecture did go before that? ” Mr. Killick thumped his stout stick on the floor.
umn.319510020851149	What do you know of Mr. Levendale?
umn.319510020851149	What do you know, now, about this here Levendale? ” “ Not much, ” replied Guyler.
umn.319510020851149	What do you know?
umn.319510020851149	What do you say, Mr. Ayscough? ” The detective was examining the gate.
umn.319510020851149	What do you want me to do? ” Melky pulled out a handsome gold watch and con- sulted it.
umn.319510020851149	What do you want to search for? ” “ I ’ll tell you that at once, ” answered the Inspector.
umn.319510020851149	What do you want? ” asked Chang Li.
umn.319510020851149	What does Guyler think? ” “ Well, of course, Guyler does n’t know yet about the Chinese development, ” said Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	What d’ye say to it? ” “ I would n’t mind earning five pounds at that, ” answered Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	What d’you say, now, Mr. Purdie? ” “ Yes, ” agreed Purdie, after a moment ’s further thought.
umn.319510020851149	What have you lived on, then? ” “ I had money of my own, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	What is it?
umn.319510020851149	What is it? ” The butler shook his head.
umn.319510020851149	What of it? ” The girl bent nearer to him.
umn.319510020851149	What was he, Lauriston, to urge against the acceptance of such a theory?
umn.319510020851149	What would you have thought if you ’d found me in the situation and under the circumstances in which I found you?
umn.319510020851149	What ’s it all about, and why has he gone back to Peebles?
umn.319510020851149	What ’s it all about? ” “ Oh, find him! ” she exclaimed.
umn.319510020851149	What ’s that argue, sir, but that whoever gave him that poison is some- thing of an expert?
umn.319510020851149	Where are we going? ” But Zillah held on determinedly, her eyes fixed ahead.
umn.319510020851149	Where did your brother leave you — at Plymouth? ” “ First thing next morning, ” said John Purvis.
umn.319510020851149	Where is Lauriston?
umn.319510020851149	Which is the one who has lost eighty thousand pounds in bank- notes?
umn.319510020851149	Why ai n’t Mr. Lev- endale brought here?
umn.319510020851149	Why ai n’t that matter brought up?
umn.319510020851149	Why do you ask? ” “ It ’s a very fine- bound book, ” remarked Melky.
umn.319510020851149	Why not call again — in broad daylight? ” “ Shucks! ” said Melky.
umn.319510020851149	Will they be long? ” “ They ’ll be here within twenty minutes, ’ answered Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	Write a bit, what?
umn.319510020851149	Yet, what other course was open if he wished to avoid arrest?
umn.319510020851149	You ai n’t seen him since he walked out o ’ that court with me — see?
umn.319510020851149	You did n’t hear anything from Pars- lett as to where the money was coming from? ” “ Not one syllable! ” answered Goodyer.
umn.319510020851149	You know me, Mr. Ayscough? ” Ayscough looked sharply at his questioner.
umn.319510020851149	You understand, George? ” George answered that he understood very well, and Ayscough presently left him.
umn.319510020851149	You want me? ” 302 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ How long have you been here? ” demanded the ques- tioner.
umn.319510020851149	You want me? ” 302 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND “ How long have you been here? ” demanded the ques- tioner.
umn.319510020851149	You want money, eh? ” “ Make it a hundred quid, mister, ” said Melky.
umn.319510020851149	You want that cheque turned into cash — you want to get out of London tonight?
umn.319510020851149	You wo n’t think me inquisitive if I ask you some- thing?
umn.319510020851149	You ’ ve friends in London, of course? ” “ N<>-—none, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	You ’ll have no objection to going there tomorrow? ” “ Not at all! ” replied Guyler, cheerfully.
umn.319510020851149	You ’re bothered — about Mr. Levendale? ” “ Yes, ” she answered.
umn.319510020851149	You ’re cer- tain? ” “ Chen Li!
umn.319510020851149	You ’re not a Londoner, of course? ” “ I ’m a Scotsman! ” said Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	You ’re not mistaking me for somebody else? ” Zillah was already flushed with embarrassment.
umn.319510020851149	You ’re not used to pledging things, are you? ” “ No, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	You ’re sure the device was the same, and the material platinum? ’ ’ “ I ’ve been reared in the jewellery trade, ” replied Zil- lah.
umn.319510020851149	You ’ve heard something during the night, then? ” Yada laughed pleasantly, showing his white teeth.
umn.319510020851149	_ “ Now then, where? ” he said.
umn.319510020851149	has John Purvis come looking for his brother? ” “ He has! ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	on the bit o ’ business, w.on’t you, mister?
umn.319510020851149	one of two things happen! ” “ What things? ” asked Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	w THE DEAD MAN ’S PROPERTY 207 heard of this diamond, nor of Mr. Multenius having charge of it?
umn.319510020851149	when on earth is this going to come to something like a clearing- up?
umn.319510020851149	yon’ll be able to let me have a bit of money?
umn.319510020851149	you think that, do you? ” said Melky.
umn.319510020851149	you ’re dead certain, Mrs. Goldmark, about the other man? ” “ As that I tell you this, ” insisted Mrs. Goldmark.
umn.319510020851149	— what they usually did with themselves when they were n’t at the hospital? ” asked the detective.
umn.319510020851149	— — why, what are you to think?
umn.319510020851149	‘ Tonight, for cer- tain? ’ says I.
umn.319510020851149	‘ Where ’s your partner? ’ I asked of Daniel Molteno.
umn.319510020851149	‘ You could?
umn.319510020851149	‘ ‘ About — pawnbroking?
umn.319510020851149	‘ ‘ Did he tell you where it was — what he had done with it? ” “ Yes!
umn.319510020851149	‘ ‘ Good hands, my young friend? ” he exclaimed.
umn.319510020851149	‘ ‘ Please give us your professional opinion. ” MELKY INTERVENES 85?
umn.319510020851149	‘ ‘ Where are you taking me? ” asked Yada, suspiciously, as they crossed the threshold.
umn.319510020851149	’ ’ WHOSE WERE THOSE RINGS?
umn.319510020851149	’ ’ “ Is there any European expert who might throw some light on this case? ” asked the Coroner.
umn.319510020851149	’ ’ “ You know these Easterns, mister, and their little way? ” suggested Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ A bit of curiosity, eh? ” “ Not idle curiosity, Mr. Detective, ” replied Yada.
umn.319510020851149	“ A stranger to me! ” “ Do you know Mr. Levendale — by sight? ” asked Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ About those rings? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Ai n’t I just said so? ” he answered.
umn.319510020851149	“ Ai n’t I one o ’ the landlords of this desirable bit o ’ property?
umn.319510020851149	“ Alone? ” asked Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ And Mr. Levendale with him — hadn’t you better have them straight in? ” he went on, turning to the in- spector.
umn.319510020851149	“ And ai n’t it going to be a nice job to find the man that scragged him? — I don ’ t think!
umn.319510020851149	“ And how long had you been like that? ” “ Two or three days — more or less, ” answered Lauris- ton.
umn.319510020851149	“ And how would I do that? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ And — if that cheque does n’t arrive? ” she suggested.
umn.319510020851149	“ And — the cause of death? ” asked the Coroner.
umn.319510020851149	“ Any- thing to do with the matter in hand? ” “ You ’ll see in a minute, ” replied Melky as he rang- the bell.
umn.319510020851149	“ Anything else? ” he added, glancing at Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ Anything wrong, mister? ” asked the driver.
umn.319510020851149	“ Are there poisons, the nature of which you are unacquainted with? ” “ Yes! ” answered the specialist frankly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Are these the rings you took to the pawnshop? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Are they of the same sort, the same class, of rings as those in the tray? ” “ Yes, ” admitted Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	“ Are you busy this morning? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Are you two young fellows the sons of old friends of mine at Peebles? ” “ We are, sir, ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ Aye — secret is the word- Secret — yesl And — sure! ” “ Is there anything else you can tell us? ” asked the Coroner.
umn.319510020851149	“ Aye? — and what made you do that now, Mr. Yada? ” he asked, half- carelessly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Aye? — and what made you do that now, Mr. Yada? ” he asked, half- carelessly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Before these gentlemen? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ But why? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ But — how could I get away? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ But — why should that news fetch him out?"
umn.319510020851149	“ Can you come here at once and ask for me?
umn.319510020851149	“ Can you remember, too, from whom you bought those rings? ” enquired Purdie eagerly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Can you say what ’s known at your hospital? ” “ Very little, ” replied the house- surgeon.
umn.319510020851149	“ Copper? ” exclaimed Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Could I ha ’ done better for him than to give him the advice I did?
umn.319510020851149	“ Could you describe this here Purvis, now?
umn.319510020851149	“ Did he mention that?
umn.319510020851149	“ Did you see anybody leaving the place when you entered? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Did you see this tray lying in the parlour in which you found the dead man? ” he enquired.
umn.319510020851149	“ Did you, Melky? ” “ S’elp me, Zillah, if I ever knew what he had in that way! ” answered Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do I gather that the taxi- cab which I see outside there is being kept by you two young men? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do I see you, Zillah?
umn.319510020851149	“ Do n’t you see I ’m in all my best clothes?
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you know how long he ’s been here —— stupifying himself?
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you know what, Mrs. Goldmark? ” he said.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you know who murdered that old man in Praed Street? ” he demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you say you found him? ” “ Yes-—I found him, ” answered Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you see him here? ” 72 THE ORANGE- YELLOW DIAMOND Hollinshaw turned instantly and pointed to Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you want to borrow some money? ” Lauriston pulled out the watch, with more blushes, and pushed it towards her.
umn.319510020851149	“ Do you wish to ask this witness any questions? ” he enquired.
umn.319510020851149	“ Does your cousin know anything? ” Melky ’s face assumed its most solemn expression.
umn.319510020851149	“ D’ye see this? ” He pointed to an adver- tisement in his own paper, which he had marked with blue pencil.
umn.319510020851149	“ Er-—is Mr. Multenius in? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Find the old gent accommodating?
umn.319510020851149	“ Friends. ” “ You can ’ t tell us anything of their habits? — haunts?
umn.319510020851149	“ Friends. ” “ You can ’ t tell us anything of their habits? — haunts?
umn.319510020851149	“ Get there in a few hours, I reckon? ” asked Melky."
umn.319510020851149	“ Get your bit of business done all right? ” he asked, confidentially, as he took a seat opposite his fellow- lodger and bent towards him.
umn.319510020851149	“ Got any copper? ” she asked presently.
umn.319510020851149	“ Got any instructions about Mr. Lauriston? ” asked the ofiicial.
umn.319510020851149	“ Got that proof about those rings? ” he enquired.
umn.319510020851149	“ Had n’t we better lift him on that sofa? ” suggested Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Has something hap- pened?
umn.319510020851149	“ Have any conversation with him? ” “ Yes, ” admitted Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	“ Have either of you ever been in those rooms since you let them to these people? ” “ No! ” answered the elder man.
umn.319510020851149	“ Have you been long in London? ’ ’ “ A few days only,"answered the stranger, readily enough.
umn.319510020851149	“ Have you formed any opinion of your own as to the cause of this man ’s death? ” “ Yes! ” agreed the witness, unhesitatingly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Have you published much? ” he enquired, drily.
umn.319510020851149	“ Have you read of what ’s already called the Praed Street Murder in the papers? ” continued Zillah.
umn.319510020851149	“ Have you read this Praed Street mystery affair? ” she asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ He ’s in London just now. ” “ Has he told about that diamond'! — told the police? ”.
umn.319510020851149	“ Here! ” he said, “ do you know one Yada — Mori Yada — a Japanese?
umn.319510020851149	“ Him what sent the bank- note, last night? ” “ Yes! ” assented the stranger.
umn.319510020851149	“ How long was that J ap in there? ” he asked, nodding at the death chamber.
umn.319510020851149	“ How long — yes?
umn.319510020851149	“ How much can you lend me? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ How much do you know of these two?
umn.319510020851149	“ How much do you want on this? ” she asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ How much do you want?
umn.319510020851149	“ I ai n’t no mind, beyond managing my busi~ ness! ” “ Don ’ t you show your mind in managing that? ” said Melky, admiringly.
umn.319510020851149	“ I believe you assisted your late grandfather in his business? ” suggested Mr. Parminter.
umn.319510020851149	“ I ca n’t say that I ever have. ” “ Not even at the time of your mother ’s death? ” “ No!
umn.319510020851149	“ I daresay some of you would like to question me- and Stephen Purvis, too — on what I ’ve already told you? ” he said.
umn.319510020851149	“ I had two hundred pounds when I left home. ” “ And that gave out — when? ” demanded Mr. Par- minter.
umn.319510020851149	“ I have seen them talking with him — in Gower Street. ” “ What ’s his name? ” asked Ayscough, pulling out a note- book.
umn.319510020851149	“ I hear you say at that inquest as how you ’d lived in the East? ” THE RAT 2111 “ Yes! ” replied Mirandolet.
umn.319510020851149	“ I know him well! ” “ The younger of the two? ” suggested Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ I let him out — he turned up Paddington way. ” “ You did n’t notice anything out of the common about him? ” suggested Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ I mean the account of the inquest? ” “ Every word — and heard more, besides, ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ I pawned my watch there. ” “ You have, in fact, been short of money? ” “ Yes.
umn.319510020851149	“ I suppose you are? ” suggested Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ I suppose you can tell one from the other? ” “ Of course!
umn.319510020851149	“ I suppose you never saw this before? ” he asked, as Zillah laid it on the table before him.
umn.319510020851149	“ I suppose your people have taken this job entirely in hand, now?
umn.319510020851149	“ I tell you we ’ve nothing to do with them — except as their landlords. ” “ Where do you live — yourselves? ” asked the Inspec- tor.
umn.319510020851149	“ I was attracted by the binding, of course. ” “ Where ’s the book, now? ” asked the ofiicial.
umn.319510020851149	“ I ’m a poor fellow, d’ye see? — I don ’ t pick up a hundred quid every day, I assure you!
umn.319510020851149	“ If there is anything?"
umn.319510020851149	“ In and out again, as you might say. ” “ Did he say anything when he came out? ” enquired the detective.
umn.319510020851149	“ In fact, the late Mr. Multenius brought you up?
umn.319510020851149	“ In open mar- ket, eh? ” ‘ ‘ They ’re all either police, or detectives, or concerned, ” retort.ed Levendale.
umn.319510020851149	“ Is anything the matter, Mr. Detective- Sergeant? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Is anything wrong? ” “ I want to know a good deal! ” answered Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ Is it very likely he ’d think it to be in that dead chap ’s pigtail when the other man ’s missing?
umn.319510020851149	“ Is this true! — this about the Chinese chap?
umn.319510020851149	“ It is you — how do you dot aos THE JEW AND THE JAP 307 “ What are you after? ” he demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ It ’s as if you was proposing to me! ” “ Why, ai n’t I? ” exclaimed Melky, gathering courage.
umn.319510020851149	“ It ’s useless trying to do anything with him when he takes the fit — the craving, you understand? — into his head.
umn.319510020851149	“ It’s — what do you want to borrow?
umn.319510020851149	“ Just now. ” “ And what were you doing here? ” asked the man.
umn.319510020851149	“ May I explain? ” asked Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Me? ” she exclaimed.
umn.319510020851149	“ More of your people? ” asked the elder man, quer- ulously.
umn.319510020851149	“ Much? — or little? ” “ We don ’ t know nothing at all, Mr. Ayscough — me and my cousin Zillah, ” replied Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ Much? — or little? ” “ We don ’ t know nothing at all, Mr. Ayscough — me and my cousin Zillah, ” replied Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ Not one of us! ” “ Is he here? ” demanded the Inspector.
umn.319510020851149	“ Now then — you ’d doubtless talk a good deal about this matter — did your brother tell you what was to be done with the dia- mond?
umn.319510020851149	“ Now, just tell me — how do you know all this? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Now, to begin with, ” he said, “ why do you think this afiair is connected with the affair of the old pawn- broker?
umn.319510020851149	“ Now, what ’s inside?
umn.319510020851149	“ Now, when did those two rings come into your possession? ” “ When my mother died, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Now, you would n’t like to sell this here bit of property, would you, Mr. Lauriston? ” he enquired, almost wheedlingly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Oh, Melky sent you here, did he? ” she said, with a smile.
umn.319510020851149	“ Perhaps you will examine these things and direct the attention of the jurymen to them? ” he said, and turned to the witness- box again.
umn.319510020851149	“ Purvis was excited — trembling, big fellow though he is, do you see?
umn.319510020851149	“ See that door in the corner?
umn.319510020851149	“ Seen Mr. Levendale?
umn.319510020851149	“ Shall I give you people a bit of my opinion after hearing all this? ” he said.
umn.319510020851149	“ Since when? ” “ Only since last night, sir, ” replied the butler, “ but the circumstances are queer.
umn.319510020851149	“ Skill? ” retorted the witness, with a queer, twisting grimace.
umn.319510020851149	“ Small world, ai n’t it, now? ” “ I met Mr. Spencer Levendale last September — two months ago, ” continued Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ So your ambition is to be a writer of fiction? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ Some news? ” “ Guyler swears that he saw Stephen Purvis this very morning, ” replied Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ Something else? ” asked Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ Something on your mind about this?
umn.319510020851149	“ Something the same. ” “ What is the value of those rings — separately? ” en- quired Mr. Parminter.
umn.319510020851149	“ S’elp me! — what ’s he got to say about it? ” Benjamin Hollinshaw came forward.
umn.319510020851149	“ That do? ” “ Thank you, ” replied Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ That means — he ’s dead? ” she said.
umn.319510020851149	“ That ’s a fact! ” “ Will it come — soon? ” she demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ That ’s it, sir — who ’s the man? ” agreed the detective.
umn.319510020851149	“ That ’s solid gold, isn ’ t it? ” he asked as he unfastened the clasp.
umn.319510020851149	“ That? ” said the waitress, indifierently.
umn.319510020851149	“ The Spanish manu- script? ” “ Said to have been lost by Mr. Levendale in an omni- bus, ” answered Purdie.
umn.319510020851149	“ There ’s no bar against them coming here at night? ” “ They can come in — and go out/—whenever they please, ” answered the elder man.
umn.319510020851149	“ Those rings? ” she said.
umn.319510020851149	“ Two or three pound on account, now, mister? ” he said, ingratiatingly.
umn.319510020851149	“ Two quiet little fellows — seen ’em often — generally of an eve- Ding. ” “ Have you seen anything of them lately? ” asked Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ Very well- WHOSE WERE THOSE RINGS?
umn.319510020851149	“ W'hat ’s this bit of jewellery? ” he demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ Was that there book wrapped up?
umn.319510020851149	“ Well — you picked him up there, and drove him straight to the mortu- ary?!!
umn.319510020851149	“ Well? ” Ayscough went straight to the point.
umn.319510020851149	“ Well? ” he asked brusquely.
umn.319510020851149	“ What are you going to do?
umn.319510020851149	“ What can I do for you? ” Lauriston found his tongue.
umn.319510020851149	“ What can you do for me? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ What did you do? ” he asked quietly.
umn.319510020851149	“ What do I always say of you, Mrs. Goldmark?
umn.319510020851149	“ What do you make of it? ” she asked in her turn.
umn.319510020851149	“ What do you make of that? ” asked Purdie after a pause.
umn.319510020851149	“ What do you want? ” he growled.
umn.319510020851149	“ What for? ” “ The ticket, ” she answered.
umn.319510020851149	“ What is it you want to know about these two Chinese students? ” he asked a little impatiently, with a glance at Ayscough ’s card.
umn.319510020851149	“ What is it? ” Elsie Bennett turned to a table, and picked up 8 couple of newspapers.
umn.319510020851149	“ What is it? ” he demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ What is it? ” “ This here, ” replied Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ What is your game eh?
umn.319510020851149	“ What makes you think of South Africa — and of diamonds? ” she asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ What makes you think that, Mr. Killick? ” asked the man from New Scotland Yard.
umn.319510020851149	“ What on earth does it all mean?
umn.319510020851149	“ What other rooms are there here? ’ ’ he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ What then? ” “ Eighty thousand pounds, ” answered Levendale.
umn.319510020851149	“ What — what ’s it worth? ” “ No, that ’s not it! ” she answered.
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’d I tell you, mister? ” exclaimed Melky, as Lauriston joined him, the shadowing plain- clothes man in his rear.
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s Mr. Lauriston got to say? ” “ Let me tell, ” said Purdie, as Lauriston was about to speak.
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s all this business about that book?
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s his game? ” “ Hanged if I know, doctor! ” said Ayscough, shaking his head.
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s it all mean?
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s our young friend after? ” he asked, good- humouredly.
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s the matter?
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s this, Melky? ” she demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s this? —- is something the matter?
umn.319510020851149	“ What ’s this? —- is something the matter?

umn.319510020851149	“ Whatever for? ” he exclaimed.
umn.319510020851149	“ Where do you come from? ” “ Peebles, ” answered Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ Where have you kept them? ” “ Locked up in my trunk. ” “ Have you ever, at any time, or any occasion,.shown them to any person?
umn.319510020851149	“ Where have you kept them? ” “ Locked up in my trunk. ” “ Have you ever, at any time, or any occasion,.shown them to any person?
umn.319510020851149	“ Where? ” “ His body was found in the garden of the house they rented in Maida Vale, ” replied Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ Which, ” he asked calmly, “ which of these gentlemen is the owner of the diamond?
umn.319510020851149	“ Who are you? ” Lauriston fancied he detected a faint note of suspicion in these questions, and he drew himself up, with a flush on his face.
umn.319510020851149	“ Who are you? ” “ We want some information from you, ” said the In- spector.
umn.319510020851149	“ Who is he — what do you want with him?
umn.319510020851149	“ Who is that? ” whispered the voice.
umn.319510020851149	“ Who was he? ” she demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ Why was not the matter of the book put before the Court at first? ” he demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ Why — what do you mean? ” The butler looked round at a couple of footmen who hung about the door.
umn.319510020851149	“ Wo n’t you sit down? ” she said, and took a chair close by.
umn.319510020851149	“ Would you know them again — on other goods? ” “ I should! ” replied Ayscough.
umn.319510020851149	“ Yes? ” he said.
umn.319510020851149	“ Yes? ” said the girl at last.
umn.319510020851149	“ You ai n’t the friend from Scotland? ” asked Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ You could identify this man Purvis if you saw him? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ You do n’t want to sell the ticket? ” he suggested.
umn.319510020851149	“ You don ’ t know anything about this book? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ You don ’ t know where he is? ” “ Not a ghost of a notion! ” said Guyler.
umn.319510020851149	“ You haven ’ t seen Mr. Levendale since you were here yesterday, sir? ” he asked, in a low, anxious voice.
umn.319510020851149	“ You haven ’ t?
umn.319510020851149	“ You kept them in your trunk until you took them out to raise money on them? ” “ Yes — that ’s so, ” admitted Lauriston.
umn.319510020851149	“ You know me — or of me — some of you? ” observed the old solicitor, as he laid a card on the desk by which he had been given a chair.
umn.319510020851149	“ You know why I ’m concerning myself in this? ” he said, looking round at his three companions.
umn.319510020851149	“ You let that man — a J apanese — see the dead China- man — alone? ” he demanded.
umn.319510020851149	“ You never saw anything of any small box, packet, or anything of that sort, lying about after your grand- father ’s death? ” he asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ You no doubt know the names of the men to whom those sets of studs were given? ” But to Purdie ’s disappointment, the American shook his head.
umn.319510020851149	“ You recognize it, of course?
umn.319510020851149	“ You see, I ’ ve been expecting money for more than a week—th.at was it. ” “ Has it come? ” she asked.
umn.319510020851149	“ You want me to tell you all I lmow — in a sentence?
umn.319510020851149	“ You ’ ve met him before? ” “ Yes, ” replied Zillah, confidently.
umn.319510020851149	“ You ’ll be able to account for them?
umn.319510020851149	“ You ’ll take notice that these young fellows I told you of get to the rooms we let them through that? ” he observed.
umn.319510020851149	“ You ’re sure of that? ” he whispered.
umn.319510020851149	“ You ’ve seen the like of that be- fore, ai n’t you? ” asked Melky.
umn.319510020851149	“ You ’ve some idea? ” he went on, looking closely at the butler.

wu.89006925283	Is your engagement at an end?
wu.89006925283	It is most essential — most essential to me that I should see the greater part of February out. ” “ Why so, sir?
wu.89006925283	It must be a most interesting place?
wu.89006925283	It was by my express wish that you were kept from his room. ”- “ Your express wish?
wu.89006925283	It was given to me by my master, the Shah, and you will understand the91 value it on that account alone. ” “ What — what am I to do?
wu.89006925283	It will be in your possession almost immediately; but first, may I ask you a question?
wu.89006925283	Iwds nearly wild — I was so terribly afraid that you would not come. ” “ Did you think I would leave you?
wu.89006925283	Just leave them there; you can pretend you forgot all about them. ” “ What do you mean?
wu.89006925283	Let me see; what is to- day?
wu.89006925283	Look you here, Jenny; you ’re a good girl, you ’ll never tell?
wu.89006925283	May I ask how old you are?
wu.89006925283	May I fetch it?
wu.89006925283	May I have the cheque now?
wu.89006925283	May we send a man here — a reliable person to be in the house day and night for the present?
wu.89006925283	Meanwhile, may I give you a word of advice?
wu.89006925283	Mrs Deepe told me that you had fainted suddenly, and advised me to send for the doctor if you did n’t soon come to. ” “ Mrs Deepe?
wu.89006925283	My dear Mary Gray, do you know why I am 38 The Fountain of Beauty fond of you?
wu.89006925283	Nice people, the Lorrimers, eh?
wu.89006925283	Now go to bed; I shall not want you before morning. ” “ You_ are sure you would not like me to stay with you, miss?
wu.89006925283	Now go, will you?
wu.89006925283	Now go. ” “ I want money for my journey. ” “ I- Iow much?
wu.89006925283	Now then, Aunt Martha, shall we go into the drawing- room?
wu.89006925283	Now, I suppose it was n’t a little bit of jealousy made you send poor Mary Gray out into the cold world?
wu.89006925283	Now, are you certain you would rather that I went?
wu.89006925283	Now, my dear, tell me, how much have you a year?
wu.89006925283	Now, my dear, tell me- do you, or do you not wear a black ribbon inside your dress and round your neck?
wu.89006925283	Now, please, your business — quick. ” “ Mary, I did something underhand this afternoon. ” “ Did you, Arnold?
wu.89006925283	Now, sir, can you tell me why Nadir Julavef came to London?
wu.89006925283	Now, you are going to be made really comfy, and ” — she paused — “ we wo n’t have Mary Gray in the room. ” “ Eh, eh, what?
wu.89006925283	Oh, please put it back; why did you open it?
wu.89006925283	Perhaps, sir, you were talking to him about that time. ” 27 The Fountain of Beauty “ I was. ” “ You forgave him then?
wu.89006925283	Rebecca said to her: “ Have you everything you want?
wu.89006925283	Rebecca, my child, there is a little black ribbon fastened round my neck. ” “ The ribbon that holds your talisman?
wu.89006925283	Shall I beg off him to enter dees room?
wu.89006925283	Shall I bring it up or will you wait for him?
wu.89006925283	Shall I lay it on the table?
wu.89006925283	Shall I pour you out a cup of coffee, Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	She is going out as usual, I suppose?
wu.89006925283	She is now nineteen. ” “ Is my pretty one as old as that?
wu.89006925283	She went to see the Persian gentleman who called this morning. ” “ Oh, the gentleman with a queer name?
wu.89006925283	Should she close with Robert Henshall ’s offer — get rid of Arnold Deepe for ever and face the world with two thousand pounds?
wu.89006925283	Suppose he never gets it?
wu.89006925283	T115)?
wu.89006925283	Tell us the truth, my dear child?
wu.89006925283	That dreadful, stand- ofi, uppish Miss Rebecca is n’t back yet, is she?
wu.89006925283	The Lorrimers are taking her to a dance at the Town I- Iall, and she will dine with them firs. ” “ Why are n’t you going, Mary?
wu.89006925283	The old man is highly feverish and restless. ” “ You need not enlighten him, need you, dear?
wu.89006925283	Then I can trust you?
wu.89006925283	Then I suppose I am not wanted?
wu.89006925283	Then he said, “ Have I said anything special?
wu.89006925283	Then she said: “ After all you did not understand my father. ” “ What do you mean?
wu.89006925283	Then you have an opportunity, Mary, of serving me as man was never served before. ” “ What do you mean?
wu.89006925283	Then, my dear, she told me this marvellous story about the diamon. ” “ How could she possibly have found out?
wu.89006925283	There was a side, however, of Rebecca ’s chara 3?
wu.89006925283	This httle he? ” of jade, for instance, what a perfect specimen!
wu.89006925283	Through an inadvertence we have lost it. ” “ You come here to tell me this?
wu.89006925283	Very well; I will go upstairs and pack. ” “ You are sure I can do nothing for you?
wu.89006925283	WW has he left London so swiftly and suddenly?
wu.89006925283	Was he not a great Eastern potentate, cruelly revengeful, regardless of life?
wu.89006925283	Was it possible that the real gem was stolen and that this was an artificial one?
wu.89006925283	Was she not rich?
wu.89006925283	Was the sick man really awake when she had pulled down his collar to see if the black ribbon lay beneath?
wu.89006925283	Well, I ’ve done it, and ca n’t undo it, worse luck. ” “ Why do you say that?
wu.89006925283	Were you here, tell me, when my brother Robert died?
wu.89006925283	What about that letter from Teheran?
wu.89006925283	What can it mean, Lady Jane?
wu.89006925283	What could she not do with so magnificent a sum?
wu.89006925283	What do you mean?
wu.89006925283	What do you mean?
wu.89006925283	What has happened?
wu.89006925283	What have I done, Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	What have I done? ” “ Sit down, please, ” said Rebecca.
wu.89006925283	What is it?
wu.89006925283	What is the difficulty?
wu.89006925283	What is the matter, my dear?
wu.89006925283	What next?
wu.89006925283	What pos- sible thing can have happened to offend you, Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	What possible interest can you take in it?
wu.89006925283	What sort of visitors had Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	What thing ever happened in that house that she had not spoken of to Arnold Deepe?
wu.89006925283	What will set you on your legs?
wu.89006925283	When within, however, can you push back the lock?
wu.89006925283	Who told you that I owned, or that I wear about my person, a valuable diamond?
wu.89006925283	Who was I to be cruel and unforgiving?
wu.89006925283	Why am I turned away now, just as though I had done something wrong?
wu.89006925283	Why did he go in disguise to a den of thieves?
wu.89006925283	Why did he see an Englishman?
wu.89006925283	Why did not he come?
wu.89006925283	Why did she say you were in danger?
wu.89006925283	Why did you lose your nerve?
wu.89006925283	Why did you tell Lady Jane Halliday the story you did?
wu.89006925283	Why do I tremble when my eyes look into his, and why do n’t I love him as a girl ought to love the man she has promised to marry?
wu.89006925283	Why do you wear that ribbon round your neck, Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	Why is it of great value?
wu.89006925283	Why should I not marry him?
wu.89006925283	Why should I not stay awake while I can?
wu.89006925283	Why should not his dreams be golden?
wu.89006925283	Why should she do this thing?
wu.89006925283	Why should she give herself to him and become wicked?
wu.89006925283	Why should she have everything and you and I nothing?
wu.89006925283	Why should they go to the cup- board to- night?
wu.89006925283	Why should you give it to a thief, who in his turn will make restitution?
wu.89006925283	Why should you have all the drudgery?
wu.89006925283	Why were you so long, dear Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	Why — what is it, Rebecca?
wu.89006925283	Will you agree to that?
wu.89006925283	Will you do something else?
wu.89006925283	Will you do this, Mary?
wu.89006925283	Will you go to her to the room where she awa'ts your presence?
wu.89006925283	Will you go, for both our sakes?
wu.89006925283	Will you have a fire lit at once in this room and get me something for dinner?
wu.89006925283	Will you join me in a pipe?
wu.89006925283	Within the case is a diamond. ” “ A diamond, father?
wu.89006925283	Wo n’t you have a cup of tea?
wu.89006925283	You agree with me?
wu.89006925283	You can take it to my bank to- morrow morning and it will be honoured. ” “ Two hundred pounds?
wu.89006925283	You could n’t have been certain on that point, Rebecca; therefore, why in the name of goodness did you dismiss this Mary Gray?
wu.89006925283	You do n’t mean to tell me that you had a chit like that as a sort of chaperon for yourself?
wu.89006925283	You have it safe, have you not?
wu.89006925283	You have left Rebecca Henshall?
wu.89006925283	You have n’t lost it?
wu.89006925283	You have told no one that it got into your possession?
wu.89006925283	You have your work cut out for you. ” “ Oh — what do you mean?
wu.89006925283	You may remember, Rebecca, that time when I was away from you in Persia?
wu.89006925283	You must leave London to- night. ” “ And what good will that do?
wu.89006925283	You must sleep. ” “ Sleep?
wu.89006925283	You must tell me, and you must tell me now, or our engagement comes to an end. ”- “ Do you mean this?
wu.89006925283	You never reveal secrets, do you?
wu.89006925283	You say you know where the diamond is?
wu.89006925283	You understand, do n’t you?
wu.89006925283	You will allow me to go and see?
wu.89006925283	You will be kind to her?
wu.89006925283	You will like these changes, eh, Mary?
wu.89006925283	You will, per- haps, permit me to send you a card of invitation for my next ‘ At Home ’?
wu.89006925283	You wo n’t repeat it — even to my girl?
wu.89006925283	You yourself are to blame if this marriage turns out un- happily. ” “ I to blame?
wu.89006925283	Your carriage is waiting below, is it not?
wu.89006925283	Your salary will be doubled, and you will have presents; oh, yes, you will be well ofi. ” “ Sir, are you not exciting yourself very much?

wu.89006925283	“ Is there a room where I can see you alone?
wu.89006925283	“ Is there anything else?
wu.89006925283	“ Is this in reahty only the calm before the storm?

wu.89006925283	“ Why are the bells ringing so frequently?
wu.89006925283	“ Why did I not think of winning her heart?
wu.89006925283	“ Why have you treated me as you have done?
wu.89006925283	“ Why should you frighten Becky?

uva.x004152207	A murder? ” repeated Kennedy incredulously. uva.x004152207 An Ainu?"
uva.x004152207	An- toinette Moulton a steerer for a gambling joint? uva.x004152207 And then?"
uva.x004152207	Are we in time?
uva.x004152207	Are you sure he did it?
uva.x004152207	But how do you suppose it was possible for anyone to adminis- ter it? uva.x004152207 But, oh, Professor Kennedy,"she added,"it is working itself out to be more terrible than war itself! ”"Have any of the plans been carried out yet?"
uva.x004152207	But?
uva.x004152207	Capper? ” repeated Kennedy surprised. uva.x004152207 Could n't get it?"
uva.x004152207	Did n't you know- he- came back from Vera Cruz yesterday?
uva.x004152207	Did you notice how that diamond in her neck sparkled?
uva.x004152207	Do you feel any better?
uva.x004152207	Do you remember seeing Northrop here yes- terday afternoon?
uva.x004152207	Do you suppose there is anything significant in that?
uva.x004152207	Do you think it was Pedersen who used it for Mrs. Edwards? ” asked Kennedy. uva.x004152207 Do you think she has run away?"
uva.x004152207	Done?
uva.x004152207	Dr. Hopf? uva.x004152207 Er — yes,"I stammered in surprise at seeing him so unexpectedly,"but where did you come from?
uva.x004152207	For the sake of- that baby — would she- would she forgive?
uva.x004152207	Freud, of Vienna — you recall the name? uva.x004152207 Has Dr. Wilson been here this morning? ” I heard him ask.
uva.x004152207	Has that been the effect of our story, Walter? uva.x004152207 Have they a sufficient value, even on appreciative Fifth Avenue, to war- rant murder?"
uva.x004152207	Have you any idea how the lead poisoning could have been caused?
uva.x004152207	Have you any of the letters that Archer wrote home?
uva.x004152207	Have you heard the news?
uva.x004152207	Have you made any progress?
uva.x004152207	Hello, O'Connor,I heard Kennedy say;"you read that story in the Star this morning about the drug fiends at that Broadway cabaret?
uva.x004152207	Hour after hour, Rapport and the rest repeated over and over again,'Why does not some one kill him? uva.x004152207 How about that bandage about Haughton's neck?"
uva.x004152207	How about the windows? ” asked Kennedy. uva.x004152207 How did the Lucie come to be equipped with wireless? ” asked Craig quickly.
uva.x004152207	How did you discover it?
uva.x004152207	How did you discover it?
uva.x004152207	How did you know? uva.x004152207 How were you to- reach the Baron?"
uva.x004152207	How — where?
uva.x004152207	How?
uva.x004152207	I guessed as much, ” remarked Kennedy, “ but how does she get it here?
uva.x004152207	I may keep these? ” he asked. uva.x004152207 I suppose you have no idea what Dr. Maudsley has prescribed for her? ” he asked carelessly.
uva.x004152207	I wonder if I could see her?
uva.x004152207	In the woods?
uva.x004152207	Is that all?
uva.x004152207	Is this Professor Kennedy? ” he asked, touching his hat. uva.x004152207 Is this the German embassy in Washington?"
uva.x004152207	Is-he- all right? ” For answer, Craig simply raised the lid of the basket. uva.x004152207 It is not a very modern safe, is it?"
uva.x004152207	Jermyn? uva.x004152207 Just what is an electro- magnetic gun?"
uva.x004152207	Kennedy,he blurted out in a tone of sup- pressed excitement,"can I trust you to keep a big secret?"
uva.x004152207	Like what? ” he asked, evidently not compre- hending. uva.x004152207 Miss Lowe, ” he said, catching her eye and holding it almost hypnotically,"why have you come to see me?"
uva.x004152207	Mrs. Lynn Moulton, for instance?
uva.x004152207	No,he added,"not finger- prints- toe- prints. ”"Toe- prints?"
uva.x004152207	Now, if I may see Morton? uva.x004152207 Oh, then you have actually already acted on the hint in the letter?"
uva.x004152207	Poisoning? ” she repeated. uva.x004152207 Read?"
uva.x004152207	Say, ” exclaimed one of the men,what's the matter?
uva.x004152207	She told nothing of herself? ” asked Kennedy. uva.x004152207 She's getting the stuff now?"
uva.x004152207	Still,considered Kennedy, “ there might have been something latent in her family germ plasm back of the time through which you could trace it?"
uva.x004152207	Tell me,she said eagerly,"how did Mr. Min- turn die?
uva.x004152207	Tell me- did — did they-“ No Dr. Hopf? ” Kennedy insisted.
uva.x004152207	The Baron?
uva.x004152207	The Schofields come of good stock? ” hazarded Kennedy. uva.x004152207 The body has been removed?"
uva.x004152207	The leader?
uva.x004152207	The point is, then,ruminated Kennedy,"what happened in the interval between the ringing of the alarm and the arrival of the special officers?
uva.x004152207	The stones were unset?
uva.x004152207	Then there were no recessive traits in her fam- 330 THE WAR TERROR 19 ily,asked Kennedy quickly,"of the same sort that you find in the Athertons?"
uva.x004152207	Then what is it? ” he asked, very deferentially, but firmly. uva.x004152207 Then you have suspicions of something worse?"
uva.x004152207	Then, ” I put in,the toxin was produced by germs, after all?"
uva.x004152207	To whom?
uva.x004152207	Was I in time? uva.x004152207 Was Northrop in his room while these people were here?"
uva.x004152207	Was it a snake bite?
uva.x004152207	Was it drowning that caused her death?
uva.x004152207	Well, ” he asked,what do you think of it, now?"
uva.x004152207	Well?
uva.x004152207	Were — were there any germs in the letter?
uva.x004152207	Wh — where did you get so much of it?
uva.x004152207	What Baron? ” It was evident that Burke knew nothing, at least of this new plot which Miss Lowe had indicated. uva.x004152207 What are you doing in this case? ” asked Ken- nedy.
uva.x004152207	What are you looking for? ” I asked, joining him. uva.x004152207 What can be the matter?"
uva.x004152207	What did they do?
uva.x004152207	What did you conclude, then, was the explanation of what you saw last night?
uva.x004152207	What did you make of it?
uva.x004152207	What do you find? ” I asked anxiously. uva.x004152207 What do you intend doing? ” he asked help- lessly, as Kennedy finished his recital of the queer doings of the night before.
uva.x004152207	What do you know of these anarchists?
uva.x004152207	What do you mean, for instance?
uva.x004152207	What do you propose to do about it? ” asked the doctor. uva.x004152207 What do you suppose it is?"
uva.x004152207	What do you think it is?
uva.x004152207	What does that mean?
uva.x004152207	What has hap- pened?
uva.x004152207	What has happened? ” I asked eagerly. uva.x004152207 What is at five hundred and one East Fifth? ” he asked.
uva.x004152207	What is it — that light again?
uva.x004152207	What is it?
uva.x004152207	What is it?
uva.x004152207	What is it?
uva.x004152207	What is it?
uva.x004152207	What is it?
uva.x004152207	What is the date set?
uva.x004152207	What is the street address of Bleecker, 7180?
uva.x004152207	What is your theory? ” he asked. uva.x004152207 What seems to be the trouble?"
uva.x004152207	What shall I do?
uva.x004152207	What shall we do?
uva.x004152207	What was the poison?
uva.x004152207	What was the purpose of all that elaborate mummery out at the Red Lodge? ” asked Kennedy pointblank. uva.x004152207 What's the matter? ” asked Kennedy, looking up from a test tube which he had been examining, 148 THE WAR TERROR “ Yes.
uva.x004152207	What's the matter?
uva.x004152207	What's the matter?
uva.x004152207	What's your opinion? ” I pressed Craig. uva.x004152207 What? ” he asked, startled.
uva.x004152207	What?
uva.x004152207	Where can I find Halsey Haughton at this hour? ” I asked. uva.x004152207 Where is Dr. Hopf? ” asked Kennedy, trying to recall her fleeting attention.
uva.x004152207	Where is she?
uva.x004152207	Where is the headquarters of the inner circle?
uva.x004152207	Where was the last attempt?
uva.x004152207	Where's Duncan? ” he panted. uva.x004152207 Where's Muller? ” asked Kennedy.
uva.x004152207	Where? ” cried Kennedy. uva.x004152207 Where? ” he asked.
uva.x004152207	Where?
uva.x004152207	Who enters the Red Lodge?
uva.x004152207	Who is it, mother? ” she whispered from the turn in the stairs. uva.x004152207 Who?"
uva.x004152207	Who?
uva.x004152207	Why do you suspect them?
uva.x004152207	Why do you think it affects each so differently?
uva.x004152207	Why, Miss Miss — my dear young lady- what's the matter?
uva.x004152207	Why?
uva.x004152207	Why?
uva.x004152207	Will it never stop? uva.x004152207 With the money?"
uva.x004152207	Would you like to relax your mind by a little ex- cursion among the curio shops of the city? uva.x004152207 Would you mind waiting in this little dressing room?"
uva.x004152207	Yes, yes, ” he encouraged,but who is the other woman?!
uva.x004152207	Yes,encouraged Craig,"what can I do for you? ” “ A Mrs. Blair has just been brought in, sir, and we ca n't find her husband.
uva.x004152207	You are not coming aboard?
uva.x004152207	You drink the water from the tap? ” he asked, as he poured some of it into a sterilized vial which he drew quickly from his vest pocket. uva.x004152207 You have been with her several days, though, have n't you?"
uva.x004152207	You have looked it up?
uva.x004152207	You have n't found out yet what is is, then?
uva.x004152207	You have n't heard, then?
uva.x004152207	You have no idea, I suppose, of anything that was weighing on his mind? ” suggested Kennedy. uva.x004152207 You have not been robbed yourself?"
uva.x004152207	You have not the combination?
uva.x004152207	You have seen the safe in there?
uva.x004152207	You know Burroughs Atherton on both lines of descent?
uva.x004152207	You know him?
uva.x004152207	You know, I suppose,added Denison,"that he is engaged to Felicie Woods, the daughter of Mrs. Courtney Woods? ” Kennedy did not, but said nothing.
uva.x004152207	You mean, may the whole trouble lie with him?
uva.x004152207	You say that Miss Verrall and her mother have gone back to the city?
uva.x004152207	You think Dr. Rae Wilson knows nothing of it yet? ” I queried. uva.x004152207 You think that the suspicions I had have been justified?"
uva.x004152207	You were blackmailed out of the money? ” he queried casually, masking his question. uva.x004152207 You would recognize some of them if you saw them?"
uva.x004152207	You — you do n't think it is serious? ” whispered Betty in an undertone, scarcely waiting to be intro- duced. uva.x004152207 You're sure it is all right? ”"Oh, positively — it has been done in Europe."
uva.x004152207	Youm- you wo n't hurt Buster?
uva.x004152207	'Ca n't you do something?'
uva.x004152207	'Can I trust you?'
uva.x004152207	139 140 THE WAR TERROR “ Then you think he may be right?"
uva.x004152207	152 THE WAR TERROR"Nothing?"
uva.x004152207	164 THE WAR TERROR"You know him pretty well? ” “ Only through this transaction,"she replied hastily.
uva.x004152207	2 88 THE WAR TERROR “ What were those little cuts?"
uva.x004152207	205 206 THE WAR TERROR “ Have you any idea what it can be? ” he asked finally She shook her head noncommitally.

uva.x004152207	358 THE WAR TERROR"Who is her physician? ” asked Kennedy of Dr. Klemm as we sat in his luxurious office.
uva.x004152207	364 THE WAR TERROR Now if — say Hazleton — should call — will you lis- ten in on that vocaphone for me?"
uva.x004152207	62 THE WAR TERROR"What do you mean?"
uva.x004152207	84 THE WAR TERROR “ Ca n't they find out by — er, interference?"
uva.x004152207	And, Jameson — you'll tone down that part of it in the newspapers that Junior- might read — when he grows up?"
uva.x004152207	And, ” he would add with the tradesman's idea of humor, “ I guess he has enough to play a game of poker- eh? ”"Poker? ” asked Kennedy smiling.

uva.x004152207	Are you going to leave Armand?"
uva.x004152207	As for Vaughn, was he trying to hide behind some techni- cality in medical ethics?
uva.x004152207	As for accident, why should a person fall overboard from a large houseboat into a perfectly calm harbor?
uva.x004152207	Atherton may see red- but, then, he was quite excited. ”"Over what?"
uva.x004152207	Bryant, ” she appealed,"is he — is he, really--so badly?"
uva.x004152207	But by what?
uva.x004152207	But how did he get in?
uva.x004152207	But is there none left?
uva.x004152207	But-rman”—what did that mean?
uva.x004152207	By the way, Pedersen, are you the only person aboard who can operate this? ”"How should I know?"

uva.x004152207	CHAPTER II THE ELECTRO- MAGNETIC GUN"What shall we do?"
uva.x004152207	Ca n't you- ca n't you find my necklace?"
uva.x004152207	Can you come along?"
uva.x004152207	Can you give us a line?"
uva.x004152207	Can you help me?'
uva.x004152207	Can you let me have a sample?"
uva.x004152207	Can you tell me what number that was which just called?"
uva.x004152207	Car or boat?"
uva.x004152207	Could it be Herman- Herman Schloss?
uva.x004152207	Could it have been a light on the mast of a boat moving rapidly up the bay and perhaps nearer to us than we suspected?
uva.x004152207	Could we prevent it?
uva.x004152207	Could you get us into the inner circle, Miss Lowe?"
uva.x004152207	Did he know something else already, and did she know he knew?
uva.x004152207	Did she know something about the case, I wondered?
uva.x004152207	Did they know about the letter, after all, I wondered?
uva.x004152207	Did you know he was ill? ”"No,"I answered.
uva.x004152207	Did you notice the size?
uva.x004152207	Disap- peared?
uva.x004152207	Do n't you see?
uva.x004152207	Do n't you understand?
uva.x004152207	Do you know anything about it?"
uva.x004152207	Do you want to show it to him?"
uva.x004152207	Escaped?"
uva.x004152207	Had Mrs. Moulton robbed the safe herself, or hired some one else to do it for her, and had that person gone back on her?
uva.x004152207	Had he smoked it?"
uva.x004152207	Had her desperate love for Hazleton produced a hallucina- tion?
uva.x004152207	Had the events of the past few days worked on her mind and driven her into temporary insanity?
uva.x004152207	Had the murderer used the safest of poisons- one that left no clue?
uva.x004152207	Have they done anything yet to the Baron?"
uva.x004152207	Have you tested for the ordinary poisons? ” Doctor Leslie shook his head.
uva.x004152207	He is in the gravest danger if he- What?
uva.x004152207	He left last night at midnight and is already here? ” Kennedy turned to us blankly.
uva.x004152207	Hello- what's this? ” He had discovered a false back of one of the drawers in the desk and had jimmied it open.
uva.x004152207	Hollingsworth?"
uva.x004152207	Hopf?"
uva.x004152207	How about that?"
uva.x004152207	How can it be done?"
uva.x004152207	How could she ever be stopped?
uva.x004152207	How did Minturn die?
uva.x004152207	How did he look?"
uva.x004152207	How did you know?"
uva.x004152207	How far has it gone?"
uva.x004152207	How was Fortescue discovered, Burke?"
uva.x004152207	I asked airily, adding,"Is it a large house party you are getting up?"
uva.x004152207	I concluded that she must have left by one of the side street carriage doors. ” “ And she got away?"
uva.x004152207	I could not sleep myself, and I thought of Madame. ” “ You heard nothing? ” he asked of Dr. Jermyn.
uva.x004152207	I did n't think it was possible. ”"Anything else?"
uva.x004152207	I made a large loan on it, and the time has expired. ” “ Why did she need money so badly?"
uva.x004152207	I saw Kennedy check a motion of surprise and came to the rescue with the natural question:"His wife- with a beard and mustache?"
uva.x004152207	If the story had been told to Hazleton, what might he not have already done?
uva.x004152207	In other words, does she, did she, ever love him?
uva.x004152207	Indeed it was a byword that his appearance in court THE FAMILY SKELETON 285. come to my baths?
uva.x004152207	Inside was a beautiful little “ Peke,"and it was easy to see that Buster was indeed ill."Who is your doctor? ” asked Craig, considering.
uva.x004152207	Is he really free from the — er — stigmata, I suppose you call them, of insanity?"
uva.x004152207	Is n't it possible that it might hit some one some- where who was susceptible?"
uva.x004152207	Is there a road over there, above the Carter house? ” he asked suddenly.
uva.x004152207	Is- is it true — what this man — says?
uva.x004152207	It is further up"What is it then?"
uva.x004152207	It was insured. ”"Who is this arch criminal, Dr. Hopf? ” I mused as we retraced our steps to the laboratory.
uva.x004152207	It's too big a risk. ”"I may see Mrs. Hazleton? ” mused Kennedy.
uva.x004152207	Kennedy nodded recognition of the"What does she say? ” he asked, observing the dog narrowly.
uva.x004152207	Klemm's Sanitarium?
uva.x004152207	Lynn Moulton?"
uva.x004152207	May I trouble you to place your fingers on this paper- s0? ” He held out to her a piece of the prepared paper.
uva.x004152207	May I?"
uva.x004152207	Might he not be playing a game with the combina- tion in which he had protected himself so that he would win, no matter what happened?
uva.x004152207	Might not that explain the lack of finger prints also? ” I added eagerly.
uva.x004152207	Might not this be, instead of cancer, a radium burn?
uva.x004152207	Might we see Mr. Haughton for a moment?
uva.x004152207	Moulton, ” he said slowly, rising and hand- ing it back to her,"have you told me all?"
uva.x004152207	One, I recall, late in the afternoon, was a little dark- skinned woman, rather good- looking. ”"A Mexican?"
uva.x004152207	Or had the blackmailing gang of auto- mobile thieves, failing in extorting money by their original plan, seized her?
uva.x004152207	Or were there other marks on his body which we could not see?
uva.x004152207	Others can help you, all thinking in unison the same thought. ” What was this, I asked myself breathlessly — a new transcendental toxicology?
uva.x004152207	Our knowledge seems new, but is it?
uva.x004152207	Perhaps, why certainly, you must know him- Annenberg, an instructor in economics now at the University?"
uva.x004152207	Really? ” An interval followed, during which McLear left to answer a personal call on another wire.
uva.x004152207	See those shoe- prints up to this point?
uva.x004152207	She knows her I presume?"
uva.x004152207	She may at this moment be anchored off some exclusive yacht club, Aying the respectable burgee of the club — who knows?"
uva.x004152207	Slowly, a strange mephitic vapor seemed to ex- hale into the room- or was it my heightened im- agination?
uva.x004152207	Sutphen?
uva.x004152207	THE ASPHYXIATING SAFE 151"What do you make of her? ” I asked as Kennedy finished telephoning.
uva.x004152207	THE WAR TERROR'5 “ And you would do it in war time, too?"
uva.x004152207	That is the case you're going to write up, is n't it?"
uva.x004152207	That was why I called you. ”"What do you mean?"
uva.x004152207	The gamma rays seem to flow straight. ”"Then it is the alpha rays with which we are con- cerned mostly now?"
uva.x004152207	The jewels she wore at the opera this winter were paste, I understand. ”"Does Moulton play?"
uva.x004152207	The question is, to my mind, who is this fence?"
uva.x004152207	They must be turned into cur- rency — or what's the use of robbery?
uva.x004152207	They say — well — they say he has a cancer. ” Halsey Haughton suffering from cancer?
uva.x004152207	This is sulphate of strychnine. ”"Sulphate of strychnine?"
uva.x004152207	This method of detection is far more sensi- tive even than the spectroscope. ” “ What does it mean when the leaves collapse?"
uva.x004152207	Walter, at- tend to that, will you?
uva.x004152207	Was Muller the “ fence"we were seeking, or only a tool for the “ fence"higher up?
uva.x004152207	Was each concealing something?
uva.x004152207	Was each in doubt about just how much the other knew?
uva.x004152207	Was each suspicious of the other?
uva.x004152207	Was he alone?
uva.x004152207	Was he dead when he was discovered?"
uva.x004152207	Was he, too, over- come?
uva.x004152207	Was it an atavistic joy in the horrible or was it merely a blasphemous curi- osity?
uva.x004152207	Was it in its worship of the root of all evil that it had fallen?
uva.x004152207	Was it not a recognition of his hypnotic power?
uva.x004152207	Was it the product of her drug- disordered brain?
uva.x004152207	Was she really to be the Lady Madeline in this fall of the House of Atherton?
uva.x004152207	Was she talking of the blackmailer, Dr. Hopf?
uva.x004152207	Was that the interpretation of the almost hynotized look on Blair's face?
uva.x004152207	Was the criminal higher up to escape because one of his tools had been cornered and had taken the easiest way to get out?
uva.x004152207	Was the mark hid- den by the bandage about Haughton's neck the brand of the stolen tubes?
uva.x004152207	Was there in it, I wondered, an element of fear lest if she refused to talk sus- picion might grow even greater?
uva.x004152207	Was there such a cult here in my own city?
uva.x004152207	Was there, I asked myself, sufficient reason for suicide?
uva.x004152207	Was there, indeed, no test?
uva.x004152207	We were to see him to- night- a quiet dinner, after an automobile ride up the Hudson- “ Both of you? ” interrupted Craig.
uva.x004152207	We'll wait until she comes down, then go up. ”"Where?"
uva.x004152207	Were those let- ters that were stolen from you the only ones you had in the safe?"
uva.x004152207	What are you going to do to protect the safe to- night?"
uva.x004152207	What can a rich society woman have to do with a place like that or a man like Schloss? ” Winters smiled sardonically.
uva.x004152207	What did it mean?
uva.x004152207	What did she mean?
uva.x004152207	What did you find, Doctor?"
uva.x004152207	What did you mean by Jermyn?"
uva.x004152207	What do they really think of it in New York?"
uva.x004152207	What do you make of it?"
uva.x004152207	What do you think of it?"
uva.x004152207	What gone?
uva.x004152207	What had been done with the plans?
uva.x004152207	What happened?"
uva.x004152207	What if she died?
uva.x004152207	What is it like?"
uva.x004152207	What is the matter? ” She looked about, as if she feared that the very walls had eyes and ears.
uva.x004152207	What to do?
uva.x004152207	What was cleverer, you said to yourself, than to seem to be robbed of what you never had, to blame it on a bitter rival who never existed?
uva.x004152207	What was he doing?
uva.x004152207	What was it she saw?
uva.x004152207	What was it that held me?
uva.x004152207	What was it?
uva.x004152207	What was the first question you asked me?
uva.x004152207	What was to be done?
uva.x004152207	What were the possibilities of blackmail in the right sort of evidence?
uva.x004152207	What's the matter? ”"Do n't know.
uva.x004152207	Where are the gold and silver of the conquistadores?
uva.x004152207	Which would win the old fascination of the occult or the new power of science?
uva.x004152207	Who could it be?
uva.x004152207	Who could it have been who bore the tell- tale burn?
uva.x004152207	Who was it?
uva.x004152207	Who was the mysterious Mexican woman, who the shaggy Russian?
uva.x004152207	Who was the person, the only one who could have done it?
uva.x004152207	Who was this Stein?
uva.x004152207	Whose?
uva.x004152207	Why do you ask?"
uva.x004152207	Why does he not die?'
uva.x004152207	Why — what's the matter?
uva.x004152207	Why, Mon- sieur? ” Kennedy had uncovered a round brass case.
uva.x004152207	Why- didn't you- get away — while there was time- after you warned me?"
uva.x004152207	Will no one stop it?
uva.x004152207	Will you promise not to stay long?
uva.x004152207	Will you see that Buster is sent up to my laboratory immediately?"
uva.x004152207	Would Craig leave him in there, perhaps to die?
uva.x004152207	Would it succeed?
uva.x004152207	Would she stop at anything if she feared the loss of her favorite drug?
uva.x004152207	Would those people who seem to be trying to extend their new company all over the world stop at anything in order to cripple us at the start?"
uva.x004152207	Would you like to re- main here?
uva.x004152207	Yes?
uva.x004152207	Yes?
uva.x004152207	Yet how were we to get to him?
uva.x004152207	Yet what 60 THE WAR TERROR could we do, marooned on the other side of the bay?
uva.x004152207	Yet what possible object could she have had in putting the Streamline out of commission?
uva.x004152207	You are from the company?"
uva.x004152207	You can trust Armand?"
uva.x004152207	You do n't know anything more about the robbery?"
uva.x004152207	You have n't taken that up yet? ” “ Only superficially.
uva.x004152207	You have read of the case?"
uva.x004152207	You know the place?"
uva.x004152207	You mean his wife?"
uva.x004152207	You mean one which he must bear on himself?"
uva.x004152207	You see what I am driving at?
uva.x004152207	You understand what I am up against?"
uva.x004152207	asked Kennedy,"the'will of the Lodge'? ” Blair looked at us keenly.
uva.x004152207	clue to the cause of her death? ” asked Craig.
uva.x004152207	idea? ”"Some idea,"returned Burke.
uva.x004152207	making an illegal dollar now and then by dragging down his fellow man?
uva.x004152207	on “ What is it?"
uva.x004152207	she repeated, then smiling to herself as people will when they are leav- ing the borderline of anesthesia, she repeated the name,"Hopf?"
uva.x004152207	those weak and wobbly rays that seem to fall to one side?
uva.x004152207	where between this and the Bridge- how about Co- lumbus Circle in half an hour?"
uva.x004152207	“ A note?"
uva.x004152207	“ A tenement?"
uva.x004152207	“ And I?"
uva.x004152207	“ And how did you repay it?
uva.x004152207	“ And if Lynn finds that the necklace in our wall safe is of paste — as he will find, for he is an expert in diamonds- oh- what shall I do?
uva.x004152207	“ And the children — what did you mean by that? ”"Why, it's literally true,"asserted Mrs. Sutphen in a horrified tone.
uva.x004152207	“ And the other man, Otaka? ” “ Other man- Otaka?
uva.x004152207	“ And the other man, Otaka? ” “ Other man- Otaka?
uva.x004152207	“ And there is not a clue?"
uva.x004152207	“ And your plan? ” prompted Kennedy, in the most matter- of- fact manner, as though he were discussing an ordinary campaign for social betterment.
uva.x004152207	“ Another one?"
uva.x004152207	“ Are there no other relatives?"
uva.x004152207	“ Are you going down toward the station?
uva.x004152207	“ Baron Kreiger, I presume e?"
uva.x004152207	“ Belle Aire?
uva.x004152207	“ Buster?"
uva.x004152207	“ But do n't you think this is a case for ama doctor, rather than a detective?"
uva.x004152207	“ But the letter? ” I persisted mechanically.
uva.x004152207	“ But the struggle here, the sleeve of the dress, the pistol- could he have been shot?"
uva.x004152207	“ But you must have read of the famous Moulton diamonds?"
uva.x004152207	“ By the way, ” she asked anx- iously, “ do you think there are any precautions that I should take for Mrs. Blake and the rest?"
uva.x004152207	“ By what?"
uva.x004152207	“ Can you arrange to spend the week- end with me at Stuyvesant Verplanck's at Bluffwood?"
uva.x004152207	“ Cocaine? ”"No,"he said, shaking his head doubtfully.
uva.x004152207	“ Could you get us-initiated?"
uva.x004152207	“ Did anything happen to him?
uva.x004152207	“ Did the intruder get anything?"
uva.x004152207	“ Did you ever hear of coating the skin by a sub- THE RADIO DETECTIVE 89 stance which is impervious to water, smooth and elastic?"
uva.x004152207	“ Did you see anyone in the museum who looked suspicious? ” asked Kennedy, watching Bernardo's face keenly.
uva.x004152207	“ Did you see him go? ”"Why — er — no,"replied Bernardo, as if that were a new idea.
uva.x004152207	“ Do n't you begin to see the scheme?
uva.x004152207	“ Do n't you understand? ” he repeated.
uva.x004152207	“ Do you know anything about this Australia Mac?"
uva.x004152207	“ Do you know the woman? ” he added, watching the insur- ance adjuster who had been listening intently as he told about the fair motor car thief.
uva.x004152207	“ Do you see that? ” he asked suddenly, holding up in the light of a lantern a little nut which he had picked out of the compli- cated machinery.
uva.x004152207	“ Do you smell the odor in this room?
uva.x004152207	“ Do you think I'd keep dynamite, even in the safe? ” To hide his confusion he had turned and was bending again over the engine.
uva.x004152207	“ Do you think he robbed himself?"
uva.x004152207	“ Does he know?
uva.x004152207	“ Does she get along badly with Edith?
uva.x004152207	“ Food? ” Craig suggested.
uva.x004152207	“ For God's sake, Kennedy,"shouted a voice at the street door,"what are you doing here? ” It was McLear himself.
uva.x004152207	“ For which the latest thing is the radium water cure, I suppose?"
uva.x004152207	“ Gone?"
uva.x004152207	“ Have there been any threatening letters? ”"N- no,"she hesitated,"at least nothing- defi- nite. ”'“ Gossip?"
uva.x004152207	“ Have there been any threatening letters? ”"N- no,"she hesitated,"at least nothing- defi- nite. ”'“ Gossip?"
uva.x004152207	“ Have they found out yet?"
uva.x004152207	“ His idea was to use it to keep in touch with the stock market on trips. ” “ And it has proved effective?"
uva.x004152207	“ How about Mrs. Annenberg?"
uva.x004152207	“ How about the letters? ” I suggested.
uva.x004152207	“ How did it happen? ” asked Craig.
uva.x004152207	“ How did you come to use it first?"
uva.x004152207	“ How do you feel, this morning?"
uva.x004152207	“ How is it?"
uva.x004152207	“ How is she?"
uva.x004152207	“ How long since society took you up?"
uva.x004152207	“ How should I know?"
uva.x004152207	“ I pre- sume you carry burglary insurance?"
uva.x004152207	“ I suppose Mr. Atherton has told you I have been much interested in the peculiar state of health of Mrs. Atherton?"
uva.x004152207	“ I'm sure I have no reason to refuse,"she said, “ What would you suggest?"
uva.x004152207	“ Indeed? ” he said simply, in a tone of mild sur- prise.
uva.x004152207	“ Is Mrs. Blake stricken now by the same trouble that seems to have affected Buster? ” “ Only my examination will show,"he said.
uva.x004152207	“ Is he a frequent visitor? ”"Not frequent, ” hastened Quincy Atherton, in a tone that showed some satisfaction in saying it.
uva.x004152207	“ Is he much of a player?"
uva.x004152207	“ Is he trying to hide something?"
uva.x004152207	“ Is it the curse that she dreaded?"
uva.x004152207	“ Is there a gang operating?"
uva.x004152207	“ Just what is it you fear? ” he asked, after having gradually led around to the subject.
uva.x004152207	“ Know her?"
uva.x004152207	“ Lead?"
uva.x004152207	“ May I see it?"
uva.x004152207	“ Might I see your jewel case? ” he asked.
uva.x004152207	“ Might we go over with you now?
uva.x004152207	“ Miss Sears,"asked her mistress,"will you get Buster, please?"
uva.x004152207	“ Mold? ” I repeated.
uva.x004152207	“ Muller?"
uva.x004152207	“ Mummery? ” repeated Dr. Vaughn, bending his penetrating eyes on Kennedy, as if he would force him to betray himself first.
uva.x004152207	“ No epilepsy, no insanity of any form?"
uva.x004152207	“ Oh, ca n't you understand yet?"
uva.x004152207	“ Oh, ca n't you understand? ” she went on, as if to justify herself.
uva.x004152207	“ Persecuting her? ” repeated Craig, stifling the remark that that was not in itself a new thing in this or any other family.
uva.x004152207	“ Poor mother,"he remarked anxiously, “ do you think she will pull through, Professor?
uva.x004152207	“ Professor Kennedy?"
uva.x004152207	“ Pump, Walter?"
uva.x004152207	“ Really,"he answered,"you see how impossible it is for me to have an opinion?
uva.x004152207	“ Seems purposeless, insane, does n't it?"
uva.x004152207	“ She had n't been feeling well for several days, had she? ” ventured Kennedy again.
uva.x004152207	“ So, ” Craig exclaimed,"you are the — the air pirate?"
uva.x004152207	“ Some gentlemen from the com- pany?
uva.x004152207	“ Suppose we go in my little runabout, the Stream- line II?
uva.x004152207	“ Suppose you could n't get it, what then?"
uva.x004152207	“ Tell me — have you and this other woman met the Baron yet?
uva.x004152207	“ That's what they mean by stray or vagabond currents, is n't it?"
uva.x004152207	“ The door was locked?"
uva.x004152207	“ The pneumogastric nerves?"
uva.x004152207	“ Then I- I failed?"
uva.x004152207	“ Then you do not feel like continuing the tests we abandoned last night?"
uva.x004152207	“ There had been no sound — no cry to alarm you?"
uva.x004152207	“ Warner Pearcy?"
uva.x004152207	“ Was he here last night?"
uva.x004152207	“ What are they?"
uva.x004152207	“ What are you doing?"
uva.x004152207	“ What did he say?"
uva.x004152207	“ What did he say?"
uva.x004152207	“ What did she look like?"
uva.x004152207	“ What did you do? ” prompted Kennedy.
uva.x004152207	“ What do you make of it? ” he asked, as he folded it up and put it back into his pocket.
uva.x004152207	“ What do you make of that?"
uva.x004152207	“ What do you think of Verplanck? ” he asked.
uva.x004152207	“ What has happened? ” he asked.
uva.x004152207	“ What has happened?"
uva.x004152207	“ What have you discovered? ” he asked, fore- stalling Burke in the questioning.
uva.x004152207	“ What is it you are planning?"
uva.x004152207	“ What is it?"
uva.x004152207	“ What is it?"
uva.x004152207	“ What is it?"
uva.x004152207	“ What is it?"
uva.x004152207	“ What is that?"
uva.x004152207	“ What is to be the method, do you suppose?"
uva.x004152207	“ What luck?"
uva.x004152207	“ What makes it? ” I pursued.
uva.x004152207	“ What message are you sending him? ” asked Verplanck.
uva.x004152207	“ What message did you send? ” I asked.
uva.x004152207	“ What of that?"
uva.x004152207	“ What shall I do?"
uva.x004152207	“ What was the use?"
uva.x004152207	“ What's the matter? ” I asked eagerly.
uva.x004152207	“ What's the matter? ” I persisted.
uva.x004152207	“ Where is he?''
uva.x004152207	“ Where shall I go?"
uva.x004152207	“ Which is true?
uva.x004152207	“ Who are the other leaders? ” asked Craig.
uva.x004152207	“ Who are these?"
uva.x004152207	“ Who is in the next room?"
uva.x004152207	“ Who operates it?"

wu.89014293799	Of course you'll repeat our conversation to no one?"
wu.89014293799	On what night?

wu.89014293799	She told you what, my friend? ” “ That is the story I have come to tell you, ” replied Lucian sharply.
wu.89014293799	So I suppose it is the same cloak. ” “ And did the lady go out into the cold winter weather without the cloak?"
wu.89014293799	Still he was so persistent about the matter, that I thought there might be something in it, and I spoke to Ferruci. ”"What did he say?"
wu.89014293799	The house is in such a state that I thought I'd have it cleaned up a bit. ” “ With a view to a possible tenant, I suppose?"
wu.89014293799	The man she saw must have been the same as the purchaser of the cloak. ” “ Where does Ferruci say he was? ” asked Miss Vrain sceptically.
wu.89014293799	The moon was shining and I saw him as plain as plain. ” “ Did he seem afraid?"
wu.89014293799	The railway stations will be watched by the police. ” “ For me? ” said Lydia with a scared expression.
wu.89014293799	Then my father left the house. ” “ Why?
wu.89014293799	Then “ Well,"said Diana curiously,"what then?"
wu.89014293799	They will be arrested and punished. ” “ For the murder of Clear? ” “ Perhaps!

wu.89014293799	Well, can I get this assurance money?

wu.89014293799	What other proof do you want, Mr. Link. ” “ The proofs you have given seem sufficient, Mrs. Vrain, but may I ask when your husband left his home?"
wu.89014293799	What was the lady like?
wu.89014293799	What was the male visitor like?

wu.89014293799	he has had nothing to do with the matter; nor has Mrs. Vrain brought about the death in any way. ” “ You can not say who killed my father?
wu.89014293799	he wore a skull cap? ” “ Only indoors, ” said Rhoda sharply;"but here I'm'olding the door wide, sir, so if you've done, we're done."
wu.89014293799	how do you figure that out? ” “ Because you are too pronouncedly Amurrican to be American."
wu.89014293799	is Count Ferruci still acquainted with Mrs. Vrain?"
wu.89014293799	is it true? ” “ You know best,"answered Lucian coolly."

wu.89014293799	well! ” said Lucian, impatient of this digres- sion, so Rhoda went back to her tribe?
wu.89014293799	were not these ills enough but what the woman must add murder to cap them both? ” “ We do not know yet if she is guilty, ” said Lucian quietly.
wu.89014293799	what is to be done? ” said Diana after a pause, during which they looked blankly at one another.
wu.89014293799	what position does he hold?"
wu.89014293799	will you really be my wife? ” “ Yes,"she said softly, and kissed him.
wu.89014293799	you know the name of the person? ” 6.
wu.89014293799	“ A great deal likely to be of service to us — and you? ”"I! ” replied Miss Vrain in a satisfied tone.
wu.89014293799	“ Ah! ” cried Lucian exultingly, “ then Ferruci must have been the man in the back yard. ” “ What do you mean by that?"
wu.89014293799	“ Ah, you refuse to help me?
wu.89014293799	“ All lost. ” Breathing hard, Link slipped back the cover of the dark lantern, and turned the light on to the face of the WHO FELL INTO THE TRAP?
wu.89014293799	“ And Rhoda? ” “ Rhoda is still missing.
wu.89014293799	“ And about that side passage as you talked of to the missis? ”"Yes! ” “ Then I'll answer yer questions, sir.
wu.89014293799	“ And for what reason?
wu.89014293799	“ And he told you he had enemies?'
wu.89014293799	“ And how do I know if he did?
wu.89014293799	“ And the man's shadow was the Count's?"
wu.89014293799	“ And this cloak?
wu.89014293799	“ And why should I trouble my head to do so? ” mused Lucian as he went to bed."
wu.89014293799	“ And you will see Mrs. Clear?"
wu.89014293799	“ Are you English, my girl? ” “ No, I ai n't, ” retorted Rhoda emphatically; “ I'm of the gentle Romany."
wu.89014293799	“ Are you a Scotchman? ” asked Denzil suddenly.
wu.89014293799	“ Are you certain of what you say? ” he asked looking at her intently.
wu.89014293799	“ Are you sure, Link?"
wu.89014293799	“ Are you sure? ” “ Yes!
wu.89014293799	“ At nine, sir?"
wu.89014293799	“ Because I would lay my offering at the feet of the goddess and touch her knees to demand a boon. ” “ What boon would you ask?
wu.89014293799	“ Because, if he is guilty, I do n't want my daughter to marry a murderer. ” “ What?
wu.89014293799	“ But the veil? ” Lucian shrugged his shoulders in despair.
wu.89014293799	“ But what could I do?
wu.89014293799	“ But what grounds have you to believe him any one of the three?"
wu.89014293799	“ But you did not see Link?"
wu.89014293799	“ But, Diana, suppose he does go to the Silent House and proves to be Wrent?
wu.89014293799	“ Can we not find a proof? ”"I fear not."
wu.89014293799	“ Can you prove it?
wu.89014293799	“ Can you? ” demanded Lucian swiftly, taking her 126 THE SILENT HOUSE IN PIMLICO in the moment of wrath when she seemed disposed to speak.
wu.89014293799	“ Come with me and I'll take you to see my patient. ”"But what do you think of it all?"
wu.89014293799	“ Could you swear to it?"
wu.89014293799	“ Could you swear to the man if you saw him? ” • Yes, I could; have you got him with you? ” asked Rhoda eagerly.
wu.89014293799	“ Could you swear to the man if you saw him? ” • Yes, I could; have you got him with you? ” asked Rhoda eagerly.
wu.89014293799	“ Did he lodge here, sir?"
wu.89014293799	“ Did he owe you any money when he went, Mrs. Bensusan?"
wu.89014293799	“ Did n't I tell you so?
wu.89014293799	“ Did she love this Italian? ” 76 THE SILENT HOUSE IN PIMLICO I “ Yes, I am sure she did; and what is more she loves him still. ” “ What!
wu.89014293799	“ Did she say why her husband made you examine the house? ” asked Diana.
wu.89014293799	“ Did you ever hear Mr. Wrent mention his name? ” “ No, sir!
wu.89014293799	“ Did you not get Ferruci to put your husband into an asylum?"
wu.89014293799	“ Do n't I know it?
wu.89014293799	“ Do n't you know the name, Doctor? ” “ No! ” “ Did Mrs. Clear never mention it? ” “ Never!
wu.89014293799	“ Do n't you know the name, Doctor? ” “ No! ” “ Did Mrs. Clear never mention it? ” “ Never!
wu.89014293799	“ Do n't you think he hated Ferruci?"
wu.89014293799	“ Do you call Mr. Berwin a ghost? ” “ No; nor nothing half so respectable.
wu.89014293799	“ Do you intend to stop me, Mr. Denzil?
wu.89014293799	“ Do you know anything against Signor Ferruci?
wu.89014293799	“ Do you know where he is to be found? ” “ Yes,"said Lydia boldy.
wu.89014293799	“ Do you refer to the horrible death of my son- in- law?
wu.89014293799	“ Do you think she has anything to do with it?"
wu.89014293799	“ Do you think, then, that Clyne would let his daughter marry a man who has done all this? ” said Ferruci, who was now very pale.
wu.89014293799	“ For yourself?'
wu.89014293799	“ Has Mr. Wrent returned here since his departure?'
wu.89014293799	“ Has n't her eyes?
wu.89014293799	“ Has that man been arrested, Mr. Denzil?
wu.89014293799	“ Have they to do with this crime? ” asked Lucian eagerly.
wu.89014293799	“ Have you heard anything of that girl Rhoda? ” he asked.
wu.89014293799	“ Have you the key, Mr. Denzil?
wu.89014293799	“ Have you? ” “ I have!
wu.89014293799	“ He did n't kill the man: how could he, seeing he was at Hampstead on that Christmas Eve midnight, as I found out from his servants?'
wu.89014293799	“ He knew, then? ” cried Lucian, “ and denied it to Who killed the man?"
wu.89014293799	“ He knew, then? ” cried Lucian, “ and denied it to Who killed the man?"
wu.89014293799	“ Her dying confession?"
wu.89014293799	“ How am I to dis- cover the man's past? ” “ By learning who he is, and what is his real name."
wu.89014293799	“ How can I reply to your parables or read your dark sayings? ” said Diana, half in earnest, half in mirth.
wu.89014293799	“ How do you know I shall marry Miss Vrain?
wu.89014293799	“ How do you know my name?
wu.89014293799	“ How do you know, Miss Tyler? ” “ Because I'm sure of it, Mr. Denzil.
wu.89014293799	“ I am anxious to know the truth. ” “ Why?"
wu.89014293799	“ I can not be angry with- with- shall we say a com- pliment?
wu.89014293799	“ I do; but I'm not going to tell where he is. ” “ Why not?"
wu.89014293799	“ I hated Mr. Wrent! ” Why did you hate him?"
wu.89014293799	“ I have n't set eyes on Mark for most a year. ” “ Have you any idea who killed him?
wu.89014293799	“ I only want to use it as evidence. ” “ Ye want to know who the lady is? ” said Rhoda sharply.
wu.89014293799	“ I was as good as pie to that old man. ” 52 THE SILENT HOUSE IN PIMLICO “ You did not get on well together? ” said Link sharply.
wu.89014293799	“ I wo n't contradict you, sir, it do! ” “ And there is a passage leading from Jersey Street into your yard?
wu.89014293799	“ I?
wu.89014293799	“ In plain English, you refused him?"
wu.89014293799	“ In what way is he a mystery? ” demanded Denzil, approaching the matter with more particularity.
wu.89014293799	“ Is Dr. Jorce at your rooms?'
wu.89014293799	“ Is it you?"
wu.89014293799	“ Is not that word a trifle melodramatic?"
wu.89014293799	“ Is that good gentleman of yours home, Mrs. Kebby? ” he asked, in the loud tones used to deaf people.
wu.89014293799	“ Is that you?
wu.89014293799	“ Is the Count acquainted with these sentiments? ” asked Lucian dryly.
wu.89014293799	“ Is the gate of this passage locked at night?"
wu.89014293799	“ Is there anything wrong in that?"
wu.89014293799	“ Is this the place?"
wu.89014293799	“ It was half- past eight when the servant saw the dark man run out of the yard?
wu.89014293799	“ It was one I made to hold my tongue. ” “ About what?"
wu.89014293799	“ Jorce declares that Ferruci was with him at the house when the murder was committed. ” “ Can you believe that?
wu.89014293799	“ Jorce heard a different story in Florence. ”"In Florence?
wu.89014293799	“ Like 6 WHO BOUGHT THE CLOAK?
wu.89014293799	“ Look here! ” said the girl, taking no notice of her mistress, “ do you want to know about Mr. Wrent?"
wu.89014293799	“ Look here, Mr. Denzil, would you break a promise? ” “ That depends upon what the promise was."
wu.89014293799	“ Mrs. Clear told you all?
wu.89014293799	“ Mrs. Vrain? ” cried the startled Lucian.
wu.89014293799	“ No! ” said Rhoda shortly, “ I ca n't. ” Do you think he killed Mr. Vrain?'
wu.89014293799	“ No, I do n't! ” “ Do you know who did?"
wu.89014293799	“ Not a stiletto? ” demanded Diana, putting the ribbon in her pocket.
wu.89014293799	“ Not that I know of! ” “ Then what is to prevent any one coming in under cover of darkness and climbing the fence?
wu.89014293799	“ Now that you have this piece of evidence, Miss Vrain, what do you intend to do?"
wu.89014293799	“ Now, Mrs. Bensusan, do you know if any lady was in the habit of passing through that passage at night?"
wu.89014293799	“ Of what?"
wu.89014293799	“ Of whom?
wu.89014293799	“ Oh, and what does the friend say? ” “ He declares that the Count was with him on Christ- mas Eve and stayed all night."
wu.89014293799	“ On what grounds? ” “ Well she spoke very hardly about her husband, and seemed rather more concerned about this assurance money than his death.
wu.89014293799	“ Sakes! ” cried Mrs. Vrain raising her eyebrows, “ have you been talking to that old stump?
wu.89014293799	“ Sakes, how should I?
wu.89014293799	“ Shall we tell Miss Barbar of our engagement? ” asked Denzil timidly.
wu.89014293799	“ She may have been misled by the resemblance of the dead man to your father. ” “ And who provided that resemblance?
wu.89014293799	“ So the marriage was a failure?"
wu.89014293799	“ So you see, Mr. Denzil, he could not have killed Mark. ” Why not?
wu.89014293799	“ That's a fact, anyhow,"commented Mrs. Vrain,"but what the mischief made him buy that rabbit- skin cloak for?"
wu.89014293799	“ That's rude! ” said Lydia sharply, the colour leaving her cheek, “ what do you mean?
wu.89014293799	“ The same mentioned in the newspaper reports as having waited on my unhappy father?"
wu.89014293799	“ Then I could n't have been in Jersey Street or Geneva Square sticking Mark with the stiletto?"
wu.89014293799	“ Then if she did not know his whereabouts how could she kill him?"
wu.89014293799	“ Then who is in your house? ” Berwin shrugged his shoulders.
wu.89014293799	“ Then you admit that Vrain was mad? ” “ I admit nothing, not even that he is alive.
wu.89014293799	“ Then you are sure this cloak is n't yours? ” asked Lucian much perplexed.
wu.89014293799	“ To whom does it belong? ” asked Lucian.
wu.89014293799	“ To your own house; you will be ill if you stay here. ” “ You are not one of them? ” asked the man suddenly.
wu.89014293799	“ Was he?
wu.89014293799	“ Was he?
wu.89014293799	“ We played whist, did n't we? ” “ Four rubbers, ” groaned Mrs. Pegall, “ and retired to bed at ten o'clock after prayers and a short hymn.
wu.89014293799	“ Well, Doctor, and what did you say?"
wu.89014293799	“ Well, my husband was called Mark, too, so there you are,-Mark Berwin. ” “ Is this all your proof? ” asked Link calmly.
wu.89014293799	“ Well, then, that means I'm Mr. Vrain's widow? ” “ I should say so! ”"And entitled to all his pile."
wu.89014293799	“ Well?
wu.89014293799	“ What conspiracy? ” she interrupted furiously.
wu.89014293799	“ What d'ye want to know, sir?'
wu.89014293799	“ What do you intend to do? ” he demanded in a hoarse voice.
wu.89014293799	“ What do you mean, Count?
wu.89014293799	“ What do you think of it all?"
wu.89014293799	“ What do you think of this idea of suicide?
wu.89014293799	“ What does Lydia say? ” “ She gives no feasible explanation."
wu.89014293799	“ What is this?
wu.89014293799	“ What is't ye want? ” she demanded with a raven- like croak.
wu.89014293799	“ What might you be pleased to want, sir?"
wu.89014293799	“ What was her business in town, Miss Tyler?
wu.89014293799	“ What — what do know about such — such things? ” he panted.
wu.89014293799	“ What! ” cried Lucian sharply,"are you sure of that? ” “ I ca n't exactly swear to it, ” replied Rhoda hesitating, “ but it was this way.
wu.89014293799	“ What?
wu.89014293799	“ What? ” cried Lucian indignantly.
wu.89014293799	“ Where did you get that ribbon?
wu.89014293799	“ Where would you take me? ” he asked, resisting the gentle force used by Lucian.
wu.89014293799	“ Where? ” she demanded with a frown."
wu.89014293799	“ Who are you a? ” he demanded in a steadier tone.
wu.89014293799	“ Who else should it be? ” replied Berwin, bending forward to see who had jostled him."
wu.89014293799	“ Why do you ask?
wu.89014293799	“ Why do you wish to know about the matter? ” he asked.
wu.89014293799	“ Why not?
wu.89014293799	“ Why should she?"
wu.89014293799	“ Why, Miss Greeb?"
wu.89014293799	“ Why? ” said Diana, secretly astonished by the irrelev- ancy of the remark.
wu.89014293799	“ Will you answer a few questions?
wu.89014293799	“ Worse than ghosts? ” “ The phantoms of my own sins, young man.
wu.89014293799	“ Yes! ” “ And at half- past eight Ferruci was at Hampstead in the house of Dr. Jorce?"
wu.89014293799	“ Yes, I do; can you tell me? ” “ No, but you'll find out from that cloak.
wu.89014293799	“ You approve of my marrying Diana- I mean Miss Vrain?"
wu.89014293799	“ You do n't pro- pose to accuse her of the murder? ” he asked sceptically.
wu.89014293799	” asked Miss Vrain getting to business as soon as Lucian was seated, “ and what have you found out?"
wu.89014293799	” cried Diana,"is there no way of getting at the truth of this matter?
wu.89014293799	” cried Lucian with a step forward, “ do you know the assassin?"
wu.89014293799	” remarked Lucian, astonished at this con- fident assertion, “ and at what time did he leave?"
wu.89014293799	” « Nor Ferruci? ” “ No!
wu.89014293799	” “ Did you find anything else?"
wu.89014293799	” “ How so, sir?
wu.89014293799	” “ Not for certain, but I suspect Wrent. ” “ Then why not find Wrent?

umn.319510020193737	But I would not let him pay me, for the baby seems like my own. ” And now, Mrs. Krutzer? ” “ I am coming to that.
umn.319510020193737	But Richard Stanhope merely nodded, with a careless, “ how are you, Charlie?"
umn.319510020193737	But he do n't forget you; do you, Franzy, my boy?
umn.319510020193737	But tell me, does it give you any idea of her destina- tion?
umn.319510020193737	But the upper floor, and its occupants?
umn.319510020193737	But who is there to answer that advertisement?
umn.319510020193737	But why do you suggest a possibility of your absence? ” “ Because,"sliding off the table and pulling his hat low ODDLY EMPLOYED.
umn.319510020193737	But within, as on a previous occasion, ther?
umn.319510020193737	Can he have seen that?"
umn.319510020193737	Can we be sure of no interruption while you listen?
umn.319510020193737	Can you give me any hint upon which to act? ” he asked.
umn.319510020193737	Charlie—“So you ’re a policeman?
umn.319510020193737	Could he ever forgive Leslie Warburton?
umn.319510020193737	Could it be that she, in the desperation of the moment, in her struggle for safety, had stricken that cruel blow?
umn.319510020193737	Could this thing be true?
umn.319510020193737	D'ye mean to have her die on our hands? ” “'Twon't matter much, it seems."
umn.319510020193737	Daisy, will you come with me?"
umn.319510020193737	Did this detective think himself conversing with Archi- bald?
umn.319510020193737	Did ye ever know us to be without two perches? ” “ Well, is it safe, then? ” “ If we kin git there without bein'tracked, it's safe enough."
umn.319510020193737	Did ye ever know us to be without two perches? ” “ Well, is it safe, then? ” “ If we kin git there without bein'tracked, it's safe enough."
umn.319510020193737	Did you know this figure?"
umn.319510020193737	Did you return safely and secretly? ” “ I have not been missed, and I returned as safely and as secretly as I went."
umn.319510020193737	Do I? ” And Josef slaps his pockets sugges- tively.
umn.319510020193737	Do n't you know that there is such a thing as a last straw?"
umn.319510020193737	Do n't you see that even after she's got the young un, we shall have her in a tighter grip than ever, once she's married to Franzy?
umn.319510020193737	Do ye think this thing's settled?
umn.319510020193737	Do ye want more than ye've got Josef? ” “ Ha ha!
umn.319510020193737	Do you expect an angel's visit here to- night? ” “ Yes."
umn.319510020193737	Do you know the way to Devil's alley? ” “ Um hum! ” “ Good: do you know where Black Nathan lives!"
umn.319510020193737	Do you suppose Vernet will let you slip now?
umn.319510020193737	Do you take me fer a stool- pigeon, to go into such a deal with my eyes blinded?
umn.319510020193737	Do you think in the moment when I find the taint removed, I would doubly defile myself by taking the step you have proposed?
umn.319510020193737	Do you want him? ”"Not if he ca n't walk."
umn.319510020193737	Do you want to do a little police duty to- night? ” Silly Charlie nods violently.
umn.319510020193737	Do you wish me to read it?"
umn.319510020193737	Does Mother Hubbard look like you? ” “ A little."
umn.319510020193737	Does it contain anything that I may know?"
umn.319510020193737	Even if he should summon Leslie, would she come at his call?
umn.319510020193737	Follingsbee, who is this man?''
umn.319510020193737	Follingsbee, ” he began gravely, “ do you understand this allusion to the events of the afternoon?"
umn.319510020193737	For yourself, obey no summons like this you have just re- it was WHO KILLED JOSEF SIEBEL?
umn.319510020193737	Franz and Nance, poor Nance, gemg- whither?
umn.319510020193737	Good heavens, has everybody gone into high dramatics?
umn.319510020193737	Grip, is this so very necessary? ” Slowly the detective leans forward; slowly he raises a warn- ing forefinger.
umn.319510020193737	Grip, “ I've got the facts in the case. ”"You have?
umn.319510020193737	Grip? ” Mr.
umn.319510020193737	Grip? ”"No,"returns the lawyer, “ no; I can't — at present.
umn.319510020193737	Had the drops been administered?
umn.319510020193737	Have I found you at last?
umn.319510020193737	Have I hit the mark, 66 an'say? ”.
umn.319510020193737	Have they returned to rob him, and then to leave him?
umn.319510020193737	Have ye got a hen- roost handy? ” “ D'ye think we're in our dotage, Franzy, ” said Papa plain- tively,"that ye ask us such a question?
umn.319510020193737	Have ye got a hen- roost handy? ” “ D'ye think we're in our dotage, Franzy, ” said Papa plain- tively,"that ye ask us such a question?
umn.319510020193737	Have you any fears of that sort?
umn.319510020193737	Have you any- thing further to add to your triumph? ” For a moment Stanhope's eyes seemed piercing him through and through.
umn.319510020193737	He appeared to be a deaf mute, and looked like —""“ Like an organ- grinder minus his organ?"
umn.319510020193737	He knows it?'
umn.319510020193737	He labors a moment for breath, and then says: “ You have been so good- will- will you do one thing- more?
umn.319510020193737	He now comes forward with a lurch, and inquires with tipsy gravity: “ Wot's the row?
umn.319510020193737	How are you? ” But a change has come over the mood of the seeming idiot.
umn.319510020193737	How came Vernet at this masquerade, of all others?
umn.319510020193737	How did she git inter yer clutches?
umn.319510020193737	How did the proposition strike Leslie turns from him and fixes her gaze upon the old ye? ” woman.
umn.319510020193737	How do know this?"
umn.319510020193737	How long has Franz been away? ” “ Not half an hour."
umn.319510020193737	How long will it take to get a letter to Australia, and an answer or a journey back? ” “ Oh, I do n't know."
umn.319510020193737	How many was there, at the time of the killin'?"
umn.319510020193737	How will it do?"
umn.319510020193737	How, Franzy?
umn.319510020193737	I am a public benefactor, same as yourself. ” “ Ah, a physician? ” “ Oh, not at all; a detective. ” you, DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.
umn.319510020193737	I believe we can make him useful. ” Then turning to the intruder he says suavely: “ How are you, my man?
umn.319510020193737	I conceal our Daisy?
umn.319510020193737	I have a right to know why you followed us, or me, to that house to- night?"
umn.319510020193737	I kin spare her; who's she, anyhow?
umn.319510020193737	I might hope for mercy from the beasts of the field, but not from you. ” “ You consent?"
umn.319510020193737	I see only one chance for failure. ”"And that??
umn.319510020193737	I see only one chance for failure. ”"And that??
umn.319510020193737	I wo n't fall in love with your favorite Alan?
umn.319510020193737	If I was you, I'd clear my own skirts, and git that reward. ” “ How?
umn.319510020193737	If anything occurs to prevent my leading the expedition, and you put an- other man at the head, it will fail. ” “ Even if it be Vernet?"
umn.319510020193737	If so — well, what then?
umn.319510020193737	If this were intended for Archibald Warburton, who, then, was the six- foot masker?
umn.319510020193737	If you were my father would I loathe these meetings?
umn.319510020193737	Ilow's business?
umn.319510020193737	In Heaven's name, who are you, that you know so much? ” “"Silly Charlie'is what they call me in these alleys, and I pass for an idiot."
umn.319510020193737	Is Krutzer awake? ” She glances toward the form upon the pallet; it is shiver- ing as with an ague.
umn.319510020193737	Is he in the mystery? ” “ He's negotiating for a client; a lady. ” “ A lady!"
umn.319510020193737	Is mask adjusted?
umn.319510020193737	Is my sister- in- law always to come between us? ”'She turned and her blue eyes flashed upon him.
umn.319510020193737	Is n't you afraid?"
umn.319510020193737	Is she indeed so near me?
umn.319510020193737	Is she not a good and faithful wife; a tender, loving mother to little Daisy?
umn.319510020193737	Is that Dick inside it?
umn.319510020193737	Is the storm doing any damage? ” “ Not at present.
umn.319510020193737	Is there any body to bleed?"
umn.319510020193737	Is there any thing else, sir? ” “ Yes; I've a clainty bit of mystery for you.
umn.319510020193737	Is this man who is his captor, Van Vernet?
umn.319510020193737	Is your name as easily altered as your face, sir?"
umn.319510020193737	It seems that I was given to the Ulimans by these people. ” “ Do you “ More?
umn.319510020193737	It was a threat that took me there that eventful night. ” “ A threat?!
umn.319510020193737	Man, are you determined to be an idiot?
umn.319510020193737	May I keep this letter? ” “ For the present, yes."
umn.319510020193737	Might he not naturally conclude that a secret existed between Alan War- burton and the Francoises, and, if so, what was the nature of that secret?
umn.319510020193737	Mr. Stanhope, ” with sudden appeal in her voice, “ how much do you know concerning me, and my present business with you? ” “ Very little.
umn.319510020193737	No sound could be heard from with- out, and after another moment of waiting she called sharply: “ Who's there?"
umn.319510020193737	No, 31 B Place. ” “ When shall I wait upon Mr. Warburton? ” “ At once.
umn.319510020193737	No, it ca n't be Franzy! ” “ Why ca n't it be?
umn.319510020193737	Nothing is visible but the darkness, and this, somehow, seems to reassure him, for with a snort of impatience he calls out: “ Who knocks?!!
umn.319510020193737	Now, Nance, ” turning sharply toward the girl, “ what have you got, eh? ” “ The rag- picker can be an honest man as well as another, Josef.
umn.319510020193737	Now, leaving friendship to take care of itself, do you feel that the success of the Raid depends upon Vernet's assistance? ” “ Perdition!
umn.319510020193737	Now, then, if I'll tell ye about the gal, prove that there's money in it, and git her consent, will ye marry her an'""Whack ye afterwards?"
umn.319510020193737	Now, what d'ye want with me?"
umn.319510020193737	Oh!_ ” as Stanhope draws back with a deprecating gesture—"you need’nt deny your identity: is'nt Mr. Follingsbee here as Uncle Sam?
umn.319510020193737	Oh, about that brandy cock- tail; you'll join me, I hope? ” No.
umn.319510020193737	On a lay, or on a lark?
umn.319510020193737	Parks, what- what is it?"
umn.319510020193737	Parks?
umn.319510020193737	Parks? ” supplemented the Chief.
umn.319510020193737	S'pose they should run yer to earth, eh?"
umn.319510020193737	Sanford, ” said that gentleman, pointing to the packet upon the table,"you may try your hand as an Expert. ” “ How, sir?"
umn.319510020193737	Satan himself would fail in those alleys, unless he knew the ground. ” “ And yet you would share your honors with Vernet for friendship's sake?
umn.319510020193737	Say, ca n't ye remember me at all? ” A full moment Leslie scans him from head to foot, with a look of proud disdain.
umn.319510020193737	See here, Nance, are ye willin'to make a bold stroke fer them shiners? ” “ How?"
umn.319510020193737	See here, Nance, are ye willin'to make a bold stroke fer them shiners? ” “ How?"
umn.319510020193737	Shall I have her back?"
umn.319510020193737	Shall I order the carriage?
umn.319510020193737	Shall we ever run the fellow down, Parks? ”!
umn.319510020193737	She brought me a letter from him. ” “ Did you preserve the letter? ” interrupted the Chief.
umn.319510020193737	She ca n't go to no hospital? ” “ No; she ca n't."
umn.319510020193737	Should they do so, make no terms with them, but communicate with me at once. ” “ By letter?"
umn.319510020193737	So what do you expect of me?
umn.319510020193737	Soon after that, I was approached by the Fran- coises — you have seen them? ” lifting her eyes to his face.
umn.319510020193737	Stanhope and Vernet?
umn.319510020193737	Stanhope, is it — was it you? ” “ It is and was myself, Mrs. Warburton.
umn.319510020193737	Stop: what was the calling of this Thomas Uliman? ” Merchant, ” said John Ainsworth.
umn.319510020193737	Suppose a cop comes in here and looks down, what ’ ud he see?
umn.319510020193737	Surely; who else would there be? ” replied Mamma in an injured tone.
umn.319510020193737	Tell me, since you have brought me back to myself, how, how can I ransom Daisy Warburton? ” Mamma's time has come.
umn.319510020193737	The detective notes the movement, smiles again, and goes me.?
umn.319510020193737	The question, who killed Jose Siebel?
umn.319510020193737	Then Stanhope, with- drawing his eyes, and leaning back in his seat, asked suddenly: Is that all?"
umn.319510020193737	Then as the carriage again rounded the corner: “ You see that fel- low in policeman's uniform, Jim? ” “ Yes, sir."
umn.319510020193737	Then possibly you know my errand?"
umn.319510020193737	Then setting the cup hastily down; “ Now, old Top, wot's your bid? ” 118 DANGEROUS GROUND.
umn.319510020193737	Then she asked: “ And you have nursed me through my illness; you alone?")
umn.319510020193737	Then she brings her hideous face close to his and whispers: ye? ” 308 DANGEROUS GROUND.
umn.319510020193737	Then turning towards Mamma, she says bitterly: “ I am more fortunate than I hoped to be. ” “ Ai n't ye, now? ” chimes in Franz cheerfully.
umn.319510020193737	Then you had better begin now, by taking good advice when it is offered. ” “ What do you advise, then?"
umn.319510020193737	There are none of the train to be found here, except- except the Krutzers; and who can identify them after twenty years?
umn.319510020193737	There goes a-- a Turk, I guess, and — ” “ What makes they all have black things on their faces, Millie?"
umn.319510020193737	There was a moment's silence, then Walter Parks leaned forward:"Have you anything to tell me concerning my two detec- tives? ” he asked.
umn.319510020193737	This ere ai n't a tramps'lodgin'house. ”"Ai n't it?"
umn.319510020193737	WHO KILLED JOSEF SIEBEL?
umn.319510020193737	Wanted to see ef I was asleep, or playin'possum, eh?
umn.319510020193737	Warburton, are you still desirous to discover the identity of the person who has been a spy upon you? ” he asked gravely.
umn.319510020193737	Warburton, ” he asked, slowly, “ do you know who struck that blow?!!
umn.319510020193737	Warburton?"
umn.319510020193737	Was he there in that character?
umn.319510020193737	Was he, in any way, mixed up with their family secrets?
umn.319510020193737	Was this girl a plotter, too?
umn.319510020193737	Was your absence noted?
umn.319510020193737	We know very little about Pearson, and the little one; what can you tell us?"
umn.319510020193737	We're in a pretty mess, ai n't we?"
umn.319510020193737	Well, Stanhope, ” said the lawyer, linking his arm in that of the detective with friendly familiarity, “ how do you prosper?"
umn.319510020193737	Well, shall you follow Mr. Stanhope's advice?"
umn.319510020193737	What are these miserable outlaws that they should baffle Van Vernet the skillful, the successful, the daring?
umn.319510020193737	What are they doing?
umn.319510020193737	What are they to you???
umn.319510020193737	What are they to you???
umn.319510020193737	What are they to you???
umn.319510020193737	What did he know?
umn.319510020193737	What do you expect of me? ” “ Oh, my child — ” “ Stop!"
umn.319510020193737	What do you know of my parentage?
umn.319510020193737	What does he know of the Francoises?
umn.319510020193737	What does this mystery mean?
umn.319510020193737	What had he done?
umn.319510020193737	What have you to say?"
umn.319510020193737	What is he doing?
umn.319510020193737	What is he?
umn.319510020193737	What is it that causes Van Vernet's eyes to gleam, and his lips to twitch with some new, strange excitement, as they put the casket down?
umn.319510020193737	What is it that has come upon him this night?
umn.319510020193737	What is there in common between Mr. Alan Warburton, aristocrat, and a nameless sailor, with scars upon his face and blood upon his hands?
umn.319510020193737	What is this disgrace that is likely to burst upon us at any moment? ” Slowly she moved toward him, looking straight into his angry, scornful face.
umn.319510020193737	What shall you do next? ” Alan Warburton rises from his chair and faces his ques- tioner.
umn.319510020193737	What should she say to this man whose eyes seemed looking into her very soul?
umn.319510020193737	What sin or shame are you hiding under his name?
umn.319510020193737	What was he doing?
umn.319510020193737	What were their intentions?
umn.319510020193737	What would you be willin'to do ter git the heft of it?'
umn.319510020193737	What wretched secret have you brought into my brother's house?
umn.319510020193737	What's this fortin', and where's it comin'from?
umn.319510020193737	What, then, was the secret which that stately mansion concealed?
umn.319510020193737	When can you do — the job? ” “ To- morrow night. ” « To- morrow night!"
umn.319510020193737	Where had he spent the remainder of that eventful night?
umn.319510020193737	Where had they gone?
umn.319510020193737	Where have you been, making your- self a nuisance?"
umn.319510020193737	Where is Miss Daisy's maid?"
umn.319510020193737	Where was he?
umn.319510020193737	Who am I?
umn.319510020193737	Who are ye, ye sneak, that has played yerself fer Cully Devens? ” “ Do n't pull, boys, I've got the drop on ye!”—page 58.
umn.319510020193737	Who is he?
umn.319510020193737	Who is the young- un she talks of, an ’ have you got it?
umn.319510020193737	Who is this man?
umn.319510020193737	Who's that gal, I say?
umn.319510020193737	Why did I follow you?
umn.319510020193737	Why did n't you shorten it in front, and wear pointed shoes? ” And she seizes the flowing drapery, and draws it back to illustrate her suggestion.
umn.319510020193737	Why do I leave Warburton place?
umn.319510020193737	Why do n't ye settle the gai afore we pad? ” Easy, my boy, easy, ” remonstrates Papa.
umn.319510020193737	Why had Alan Warburton secured his services to shadow his sister- in- law?
umn.319510020193737	Why had he sought the Francoise abode on that especial night?
umn.319510020193737	Why is he thus?
umn.319510020193737	Why not leave the mistake as it stood?
umn.319510020193737	Why not yield to the temptation?.

umn.319510020193737	“ What success, my friend? ” “ It's all right, ” replies the Goddess of Liberty;"I have seen the lady."
umn.319510020193737	“ What then?"
umn.319510020193737	“ What took you to that vile den on the night of your masquerade?
umn.319510020193737	“ What's Mrs. Follingsbee's style? ” “ A little above the medium.
umn.319510020193737	“ What's this? ” he queries sharply, glancing down at the body and drawing a pistol with a quick movement.
umn.319510020193737	“ What's this? ” he soliloquizes, lifting a huge bundle and scrutinizing it carefully.
umn.319510020193737	“ What's to be done with the girl? ” she repeats.
umn.319510020193737	“ When?"
umn.319510020193737	“ Where do you purpose to conceal yourself? ” he asks coldly, as he lays his hand upon the bell- rope.
umn.319510020193737	“ Where is the lady?!?
umn.319510020193737	“ Where is the lady?!?
umn.319510020193737	“ Where is your pathetic mute, Millie? ” “ Well, I never! ” declared the girl, still gazing incredulously up and down the street.
umn.319510020193737	“ Where's Pearson? ” queries a tall, strong man, who speaks as one having authority.

umn.319510020193737	“ Who are these? ” he asked, briefly.
umn.319510020193737	“ Who else do ye think would be likely to claim yer kinship?

umn.319510020193737	“ Why do n't you call, then? ” he inquired.
umn.319510020193737	“ Why such caution?"
umn.319510020193737	“ Why- do you- say that? ” “ Because you have yourself told me as much.
umn.319510020193737	“ Why? ” “ I love the child, and they know it.
umn.319510020193737	“ Will it hold me?"
umn.319510020193737	“ Wot's in that paper? ” he asks, turning to Mamma.
umn.319510020193737	“ Wot's struck ye? ” he asks, resentfully.
umn.319510020193737	“ Wot's up?"
umn.319510020193737	“ You are Mr. Vernet? ” queries this personage, as if in doubt.
umn.319510020193737	“ You are clever at a disguise: can you make yourself look like a gentleman of my cloth? ” Easily, ” replied Stanhope, with a laugh.
umn.319510020193737	“ You are sure it's all right? ” whispers Papa nervously, as i obedience to a movement of Mamma's head he opens the closet- door.
umn.319510020193737	“ You are very mum?
umn.319510020193737	“ You have a system? ” he queried.
umn.319510020193737	“ You have heard of Dick Stanhope, I take it? ” “ Stanhope, the detective?

umn.319510020193737	“ You saw those who fled?"
umn.319510020193737	“ You were the first to arrive in response to that cry for help to- night? ” he begins.
umn.319510020193737	“ You will excuse me, ” he said, politely, “ but my business is private, and some one might come up the stairs. ” “ What do you want?"
umn.319510020193737	“ You wo n't eh? ” pursues Vernet mockingly.
umn.319510020193737	“ You would find it out, of course?"
umn.319510020193737	“ You — you wanted me? ” began Papa, hesitatingly.
umn.319510020193737	“ You're sure she wo n't wake up?"

njp.32101068574118	Did you intend that insult for me, Francis Levison?.
njp.32101068574118	Did you speak to me, sir?

njp.32101068574118	Up to the end of the quarter, my lady? ” cried Marvel, in a brisk tone. njp.32101068574118 Well- how can I convince you that I am respectable?
njp.32101068574118	What did it matter if Boulogne were crowded and vulgar? ” he asked: “ there would be the more amusement for Lady Isabel. njp.32101068574118 What do you want? ” he provokingly asked, putting his hands behind him, and letting her stand there.
njp.32101068574118	What for?
njp.32101068574118	What have you been about?' njp.32101068574118 What is all this?
njp.32101068574118	What's that?
njp.32101068574118	Why ca n't folks trouble their heads about their own busi- ness, and let my affairs alone? njp.32101068574118 Your dinner, ma'am? ” he ventured to say.
njp.32101068574118	'Did you encounter that hound?'
njp.32101068574118	'Did you hear a shot?'
njp.32101068574118	'Did you not encounter Thorn, running from the cottage?'
njp.32101068574118	'what are you thinking of?
njp.32101068574118	'» “ Madame Vine, do you think mamma will be there? ” he presently asked.
njp.32101068574118	'“ Well — is she going to walk?"
njp.32101068574118	'” “ You called out, “ Is it Jasper?'
njp.32101068574118	( Who told you anything about dying?"
njp.32101068574118	* Barbara, you will keep your vows to me? ” She raised her shy blue eyes, so full of love, to his: earnest feeling had brought the tears to them.
njp.32101068574118	* But why will you not?
njp.32101068574118	* Is it not sufficient that you are allowed an asylum in my house, but you must also disgrace it?
njp.32101068574118	* Shall I write to Mrs. Carlyle? ” rejoined Mrs. Latimer.
njp.32101068574118	* “ Well?"
njp.32101068574118	* “ When, in point of fact, you were not? ” “ No.
njp.32101068574118	* “ You must, Richard. ” “ I? ” uttered Richard Hare, in consternation, “ I move in it?".

njp.32101068574118	- But how?
njp.32101068574118	- What was that hushed- up business about Miss Charteris? ”.
njp.32101068574118	101 you are so wise in the distinction between “ liking ” and “ love ”?
njp.32101068574118	131 “ Left entirely? ” “ Yes, my lady.
njp.32101068574118	179 “ Barbara, love, how are we to get home?"
njp.32101068574118	187 you think I did?
njp.32101068574118	209 « Joyce, are you in your senses or out of them? ” demanded Mr. Carlyle, a certain sternness in his tone.
njp.32101068574118	241 “ My baby and its nurse were with me in the carriage- tell me, have they been found?
njp.32101068574118	243"Lady Isabel- Isabel Vane- you have not forgotten her?"
njp.32101068574118	247 “ I have left — what do you say? ” broke off Afy, whose lips were quivering ominously with suppressed passion.

njp.32101068574118	277 “ But, Archibald, what about Cornelia? ” resumed Mrs. Hare.
njp.32101068574118	283 “ Wrath because I asked for his daughter? ” “ Wrath against Barbara, for refusing you.
njp.32101068574118	297 “ Are you much at East Lynne? ” Afy shook her head.
njp.32101068574118	301 Vine, I believe?"
njp.32101068574118	311 “ Of whom?"

njp.32101068574118	323 be buried in the grave with the dead?-and with one who was false to him?
njp.32101068574118	335 “ What's this about your becoming the new member for West Lynne?"
njp.32101068574118	343 “ Is Otway Bethel at West Lynne?
njp.32101068574118	355 “ Was it a positively ascertained fact that Lady Isabel died?"
njp.32101068574118	383"It's — it's- never his own father that he accuses? — Justice Hare? ” “ Your wits must be wool- gathering, Ball."
njp.32101068574118	383"It's — it's- never his own father that he accuses? — Justice Hare? ” “ Your wits must be wool- gathering, Ball."
njp.32101068574118	385 “ Are you ready to swear to that fact in a court of justice?"
njp.32101068574118	?
njp.32101068574118	A cheering prospect, truly?
njp.32101068574118	A fine day, is it not?
njp.32101068574118	A glass of wine?
njp.32101068574118	A man who can commit one murder, wo n't hesitate at a second. ”. “ Richard, do you think you could have been deceived?"
njp.32101068574118	A matter of business suddenly arose, and I suddenly went up upon it. ” “ Cornelia said you were gone only for a day. ” “ Did she?
njp.32101068574118	A moment's battle, and she clasped her hands meekly on her knee: was that the spirit in which she had promised to take up her daily cross?
njp.32101068574118	A settlement at the North Pole? ” “ Did n't get quite so far.
njp.32101068574118	A story? ” Blanche nodded.
njp.32101068574118	A- a--"“ Lieutenant?"
njp.32101068574118	About Thorn?"
njp.32101068574118	After that illness, I stayed with her as upper maid, and never went out to work again. ” “ How long is it since this happened?"
njp.32101068574118	Afy Hallijohn?
njp.32101068574118	All these things are yours?"
njp.32101068574118	Am I awake or dreaming? ”"It is what they have done.
njp.32101068574118	Am I in hiding, Beelzebub knows where?
njp.32101068574118	Am I to have the money? ” “ Yes, yes.
njp.32101068574118	Am I walking too fast for you? ” “ You increased your pace alarmingly when you spoke of Zir Peter's marriage.
njp.32101068574118	An offer to him?
njp.32101068574118	And I did not like to tell it to you. ” “ For years! ” “ You remember that night, years ago, when Richard was at the Grove in disguise?"
njp.32101068574118	And Lady Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	And Mrs. Carlyle? ” “ All well.
njp.32101068574118	And Richard?
njp.32101068574118	And by whose act and will had the change been wrought?
njp.32101068574118	And do you consider it decent for an old man, turned sixty, to be decorated off, as you are now?
njp.32101068574118	And his remaining away? ” “ Suspicious circumstances, I grant: still, I have good cause to doubt.
njp.32101068574118	And how dared you be privy to the refusal of East Lynne to the Carews?
njp.32101068574118	And how have you been, Richard?"
njp.32101068574118	And how was she to pay the servants?
njp.32101068574118	And now for the last thing: how can we secure papa's absence from home to- night?
njp.32101068574118	And now, I ask you, knowing as you do our national notions, was it not enough to turn it?
njp.32101068574118	And now, Sir Francis, I believe that is all: we will part. ” “ To remain mortal enemies from henceforth? ” he rejoined.
njp.32101068574118	And that line of conduct often entails as much trouble as real guilt. ” “ You do not believe him guilty?"
njp.32101068574118	And that other the guilty one?
njp.32101068574118	And was he in truth the real author of the murder?
njp.32101068574118	And what in the world could possess Archibald?- to lock the door!
njp.32101068574118	And what of Blanche?
njp.32101068574118	And what was it that dropped into your lap?
njp.32101068574118	And what was she?
njp.32101068574118	And what's to become of your business?"
njp.32101068574118	And who could connect sorrow with the anticipated brilliant future of Isabel Vane?
njp.32101068574118	And who is the happy man?"
njp.32101068574118	And why should his face turn livid, as it has done, each time he has seen my eyes upon him?
njp.32101068574118	And yet — what was it to her?
njp.32101068574118	And, if this was the case at the first meeting, what do you suppose it must have been as time went on?
njp.32101068574118	And, talking of that, Carlyle, how has it come to your knowledge that Richard Hare accosted me?
njp.32101068574118	And- and-"“ And what?
njp.32101068574118	Anne coming? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Any particular object? ”* “ Chiefly a hankering within me that I could not get rid of,"replied Richard."
njp.32101068574118	Anything concerning Anne, or her family? ” “ Anne be bothered!"
njp.32101068574118	Archibald is in the nursery, and the other two are mostly with the governess. ” “ There is a governess?"
njp.32101068574118	Archibald, do you know what I have been thinking to- day?".
njp.32101068574118	Archibald, you have never gone and bought these! ” What would she have said had she known that the two were not the extent of his investment?
njp.32101068574118	Archibald?"
njp.32101068574118	Are grown children otherwise?
njp.32101068574118	Are not all other things neglected, while the new toy is all in all?
njp.32101068574118	Are not the playthings kissed, and hugged, and clasped in arms, and never put down?
njp.32101068574118	Are the children much with you, may I inquire?"
njp.32101068574118	Are the servants astir much this evening? ” “ Things seem to have turned out luckily, ” said Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	Are you afraid my nerves are growing delicate, or that I shall faint over the loss of a hundred pounds?
njp.32101068574118	Are you coming to make breakfast to- day, or not, Barbara?
njp.32101068574118	Are you fond of music?"
njp.32101068574118	Are you going in, Madame Vine?"
njp.32101068574118	Are you going to walk? ” How could he find in his heart to deny anything to the child, then?
njp.32101068574118	Are you going to walk? ” How could he find in his heart to deny anything to the child, then?
njp.32101068574118	Are you ill? ” “ Ill?
njp.32101068574118	Are you ill? ” “ Ill?
njp.32101068574118	Are you in a state to travel night and day?
njp.32101068574118	Are you in debt? ” « Oh 19."
njp.32101068574118	Are you kind to her? ” “ Very, very kind, ” murmured Isabel, leaving William and turning to Mr. Carlyle, but not looking at him.
njp.32101068574118	Are you ready?"
njp.32101068574118	Are you staying in town?"
njp.32101068574118	Are you sure you should know him again? ” “ Sure that I should know him! ” uttered Richard Hare.
njp.32101068574118	Are you taken suddenly ill? ” “ Good- bye, Joyce,"murmured Lady Isabel, gliding from the cham- ber as softly as she had entered it.
njp.32101068574118	Are you there? ” “ I am waiting for you.
njp.32101068574118	Are you tired, Isabel? ” “ A little.
njp.32101068574118	Are you wanting to do me out of more? ” “ A cursed paltry note of fifty pounds!
njp.32101068574118	Are you well? ” “ Oh yes, quite.
njp.32101068574118	Are you — are you — were you Madame Vine? ” he cried, scarcely conscious of what he said.
njp.32101068574118	Arrest it for what purpose?
njp.32101068574118	As a gentleman? ” “ Catch him dressing as anything else,"returned Richard.
njp.32101068574118	As she ascended to the hall she recognized old Peter: strange, indeed, did it seem, not to say,"How are you, Peter?"
njp.32101068574118	Attley's seat is in the market. ” « Well? ” “ And you ought to have been down there about it three or four days ago.
njp.32101068574118	Barbara spoke not: what sympathy or comfort could she offer in words?
njp.32101068574118	Barbara was truthful by nature and habit; but, in such a cause, how could she avoid dissimulation?
njp.32101068574118	Barbara, what do you mean?
njp.32101068574118	Barbara, what's this nonsense that you have been putting into your mamma's head?"
njp.32101068574118	Barbara, ” cried the unceremonious justice, “ what is it that you see in Mr. Carlyle more than in any one else?"
njp.32101068574118	Barbara. ” “ What, mamma? ” “ I am sorry to hear of this calamity which has fallen upon Joyce.
njp.32101068574118	Be you yellow, sailor?
njp.32101068574118	Because your mamma wore those brace- lets years ago, is that a reason for your doing so now? ” retorted Mrs. Vane.
njp.32101068574118	Bethel, is that style of costume the fashion where you come from? ” “ For cold weather and slender pockets.
njp.32101068574118	Better care?
njp.32101068574118	Bring them upon myself?
njp.32101068574118	But I can have a message conveyed to him, and he could come. ” “ When?"
njp.32101068574118	But I can not help suspecting that it is the same man. ” “ Can nothing more be done? ”.
njp.32101068574118	But how came the marriage about at all?--how came it to be hurried over in this un- seemly fashion?
njp.32101068574118	But how came the marriage about at all?--how came it to be hurried over in this un- seemly fashion?
njp.32101068574118	But if it is as you say, that you are inno- cent, ” she added, after a pause, “ could it not be proved?"
njp.32101068574118	But is it really something for mamma? ” “ Do n't I tell you so?
njp.32101068574118	But is it really something for mamma? ” “ Do n't I tell you so?
njp.32101068574118	But now, I just ask you, as a lady, Madame Vine, whether a more infamous accusation was ever pitched upon? ”.
njp.32101068574118	But now, what are the facts?
njp.32101068574118	But now, will you believe that that unfortunate Lady Isabel had been a witness to this?
njp.32101068574118	But the embarrassments which had clung to him and been the destruction of his tranquillity, the bane of his existence, who shall describe them?
njp.32101068574118	But there's Ebenezer James. ” “ What does he know about it? ” asked the attorney, in surprise.
njp.32101068574118	But they talk of going again later in the autumn. ” “ Ca n't I go too? ” repeated the justice, looking pleadingly in Richard's face.
njp.32101068574118	But was this enough to hurl you on to the step you took?
njp.32101068574118	But what revenge had the step really brought to her heart?
njp.32101068574118	But who comes in now, with an air as if the whole church belonged to him?
njp.32101068574118	But who knows what other questions you may be asking me about things that concern neither you nor anybody else?
njp.32101068574118	But you will let me earn your love, Isabel?"
njp.32101068574118	But — what was that figure cowering under shadow of the hedge at a distance, and apparently watching her?
njp.32101068574118	But, about Levison?
njp.32101068574118	But, do you think we shall know everybody in heaven?
njp.32101068574118	But, how prevent it?
njp.32101068574118	But, madame”-dropping his voice-"what do you think Lucy asked papa? ” “ What did she ask him?"
njp.32101068574118	But, madame”-dropping his voice-"what do you think Lucy asked papa? ” “ What did she ask him?"
njp.32101068574118	But, oh, my lady, what can be the matter with you?
njp.32101068574118	But, what is this world, taken at its best, in comparison with that other world, heaven?
njp.32101068574118	But, why wear coloured glasses?
njp.32101068574118	By the way, are you and my lady two just now?"
njp.32101068574118	Ca n't we go? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Ca n't you see where you are going to?"
njp.32101068574118	Can not the bag be found?
njp.32101068574118	Can not we bury him? ” “ I fancy not.
njp.32101068574118	Can we have the carriage? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Can you devise any plan?
njp.32101068574118	Can you go upstairs alone?-or shall I call Mrs. Mason? ” “ Oh yes, I can go alone: I am not ill, only frightened and sick.
njp.32101068574118	Can you go upstairs alone?-or shall I call Mrs. Mason? ” “ Oh yes, I can go alone: I am not ill, only frightened and sick.
njp.32101068574118	Can you guess his name? ” It was Miss Carlyle's turn to stare now.
njp.32101068574118	Can you manage to see Richard? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Can you realize such a case? ” continued the excited peer.
njp.32101068574118	Can you throw any light upon the subject?
njp.32101068574118	Can you wonder at it?
njp.32101068574118	Carlyle, do I understand you aright-- that the body of the late earl has been seized for debt?"
njp.32101068574118	Carlyle, how long has this house been yours?"
njp.32101068574118	Carlyle, of West Lynne,"groaned the earl, whose foot just then gave an awful twinge;"what does he want?
njp.32101068574118	Colonel Bethel?
njp.32101068574118	Come and take your bonnet off. ” “ Is the nursery full of children? ” “ There's only one child in it.
njp.32101068574118	Could either of them have Jeen the culprit?
njp.32101068574118	Could it have been one of the Thorn family?"
njp.32101068574118	Could she bear thus to hold confidential converse with him, over the state of their child?
njp.32101068574118	Could she live without it?
njp.32101068574118	Could that shot have been fired by Richard Hare?"
njp.32101068574118	Could you not come out again for a little while?"
njp.32101068574118	Crying? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Dear me, is it an honour — to possess a brother such as Richard?'"
njp.32101068574118	Defence?
njp.32101068574118	Did Archie send me any?
njp.32101068574118	Did I fly away from the law?
njp.32101068574118	Did I murder Hallijohn?
njp.32101068574118	Did I not leave word, Dill? ” “ Not with me, sir. ” THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
njp.32101068574118	Did I not tell you he was stamped here? ” touching his breast.
njp.32101068574118	Did Justice Hare recognize the tones?
njp.32101068574118	Did Lord Mount Severn never tell you he had sold it to me? ” “ No; never.
njp.32101068574118	Did a past vision of the time when she sat there and sang it to him, arouse his heart to even a momentary recollection?
njp.32101068574118	Did a thought of her, his first and best love, flit across him, as the words fell on his ear?
njp.32101068574118	Did ever playthings seem like them?
njp.32101068574118	Did he deserve it at her hands?
njp.32101068574118	Did he look like a gentleman? ” “ Very much so.
njp.32101068574118	Did he not know that she was without a home to call her own, without money- absolutely without money, except what would be given her in charity?
njp.32101068574118	Did he read her feelings?
njp.32101068574118	Did he remember her?
njp.32101068574118	Did he think, as Joyce had once done, that it was a ghost he saw?
njp.32101068574118	Did she come to repentance, think you?"
njp.32101068574118	Did she deem it to be right?
njp.32101068574118	Did she not deserve more, ten thousand times more reproach than had met her ears now?
njp.32101068574118	Did she return your love?"
njp.32101068574118	Did you ever know Sir Francis Levison to go by any name but his own?".
njp.32101068574118	Did you ever see her?
njp.32101068574118	Did you ever see them so thick?'
njp.32101068574118	Did you ever see them, Madame Vine?"
njp.32101068574118	Did you hear it from him? ” Mrs. Hare, gentle Mrs. Hare, drew herself up, for the words grated on her feelings and on her pride.
njp.32101068574118	Did you hear it?"
njp.32101068574118	Did you know her abroad? ” Lady Isabel's thoughts were far away; up in the clouds, perhaps.
njp.32101068574118	Did you know him at that time by the name of Levison? ” “ No.
njp.32101068574118	Did you love no one before you married me?
njp.32101068574118	Did you never see him in years gone by? ” Joyce looked puzzled, but she replied in the negative.
njp.32101068574118	Did you not know it?
njp.32101068574118	Did you not see me?"
njp.32101068574118	Died?
njp.32101068574118	Do I not say so?
njp.32101068574118	Do I not say to you, Barbara, that I only thought of you as a friend, as a sister?
njp.32101068574118	Do I take starts, right down into my native parish disguised as a labourer, on purpose to worry my own father?
njp.32101068574118	Do I write anonymous letters?
njp.32101068574118	Do I?
njp.32101068574118	Do n't go up that way, please. ” “ Not up this way? ” repeated"Afy.
njp.32101068574118	Do n't you see that the very report of such a thing is alarming her into illness?
njp.32101068574118	Do n't you think so? ” “ And three more added to them, ” said Mr. Carlyle, with a wicked smile upon his lips.
njp.32101068574118	Do they enjoy good health?"
njp.32101068574118	Do we not all, men and women, become indifferent to our toys when we hold them securely in possession?
njp.32101068574118	Do you comprehend?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you expect me to make it? ” “ She is coming this instant, Richard, ” said Mrs. Hare, her voice more faint than usual.
njp.32101068574118	Do you fancy it is true, Archibald? ” Mr. Carlyle appeared much amused.
njp.32101068574118	Do you hear, Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	Do you know Latin? ” “ No.
njp.32101068574118	Do you know any- thing of his having been here?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you know anything of his family?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you know him? ” “ He is nothing to me; less than nothing.
njp.32101068574118	Do you know it, Madame Vine? ” Lady Isabel hesitated: she was deliberating upon her answer.
njp.32101068574118	Do you know that blessed Miss Corny?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you know what he did in the matter of damages? ” She shook her head.
njp.32101068574118	Do you know? ” “ It was to lend to my father.
njp.32101068574118	Do you know? ” “ None,"was the blank reply.
njp.32101068574118	Do you like the name: Anna? ”"It is a simple name, ” replied Lady Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	Do you not know me?
njp.32101068574118	Do you not see it? ” “ No, I do not, ” returned the countess.
njp.32101068574118	Do you remember it, Captain Levison? ” “ You may drop that odious title, Isabel, which has stuck to me all too long.
njp.32101068574118	Do you see that little ragged boy, throwing stones into the harbour?-it is well if the police do n't drop upon him.
njp.32101068574118	Do you suppose I mind young Dick Hare?
njp.32101068574118	Do you suppose I would advise you to danger?
njp.32101068574118	Do you think he is innocent? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Do you think it one?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you think of using the carriage yourself?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you understand? ” “ Unfortunately I understand only too well,"returned the lawyer.
njp.32101068574118	Do you wish it?-that the dark past had never had place?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you wish it?-that the dark past had never had place?"
njp.32101068574118	Do you wonder, I say, that I know not whether I am awake or dreaming?
njp.32101068574118	Does Dr. Martin say I shall die?"
njp.32101068574118	Edifying, was n't it?"
njp.32101068574118	Everybody knows that. ”"Did you see it done? ” “ No,"replied Afy.
njp.32101068574118	For a moment she was at a loss for words: what should she say, or ask, coming to her own home?
njp.32101068574118	For the funeral; for servants'wages; for everything, in short?
njp.32101068574118	Go and ask his men of business whether it is so or not. ” “ Who purchased it?
njp.32101068574118	Go and bring it, will you, my dear?
njp.32101068574118	Go there as governess?
njp.32101068574118	God alone knows how I have lived through it all: it has been to me as the bitterness of death. ” “ Why did you come back?"
njp.32101068574118	Guilty or not guilty? ” “ GUILTY."
njp.32101068574118	Had he been offered the post of prime minister?
njp.32101068574118	Had he black hair?"
njp.32101068574118	Had he come?
njp.32101068574118	Had he escaped?
njp.32101068574118	Had he really come?
njp.32101068574118	Had she not a legal claim to all his tenderness?
njp.32101068574118	Had you not your hush- money?
njp.32101068574118	Hallijohn's murderer had a curious look here, sir. ” “ Where? ” questioned Mr. Carlyle, for Richard had only pointed to his face generally.
njp.32101068574118	Has Barbara mentioned it?"
njp.32101068574118	Has Carlyle shot that fellow? ” he continued, as Lucy sprang away.
njp.32101068574118	Has Carlyle shot the beast, or is he on his legs yet?
njp.32101068574118	Has anything ever been heard of Afy, sir?"
njp.32101068574118	Has he come to the end of his tether?"
njp.32101068574118	Has he no sentiment?
njp.32101068574118	Has he? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Have I not said so? ” she sharply interrupted.
njp.32101068574118	Have I not the honour of once more meeting Lady Isabel Vane?"
njp.32101068574118	Have I not told you that harm shall not come near you in my house?"
njp.32101068574118	Have they a right to prevent it, sir?"
njp.32101068574118	Have you a suspicion of any one? ” “ Have you? ” she returned, answering the question by asking another.
njp.32101068574118	Have you a suspicion of any one? ” “ Have you? ” she returned, answering the question by asking another.
njp.32101068574118	Have you anything to urge why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?"
njp.32101068574118	Have you been out- of- doors much? ” “ No, I waited for you. ” And then she told him about Marvel.
njp.32101068574118	Have you come here to give instructions in a lawsuit, or to file a bill in Chancery? ” laughed he.
njp.32101068574118	Have you for- gotten our compact?"
njp.32101068574118	Have you forgotten it?"
njp.32101068574118	Have you forgotten that cross?
njp.32101068574118	Have you forgotten that night — when she went away — the words spoken by Joyce?
njp.32101068574118	Have you forgotten that you are at last in your own home?
njp.32101068574118	Have you heard about the dead man being found? ”"What dead man? ” cried Justice Hare.
njp.32101068574118	Have you heard about the dead man being found? ”"What dead man? ” cried Justice Hare.
njp.32101068574118	Have you heard who is in the field? ” “ No,"was the apathetic answer.
njp.32101068574118	Have you never observed this? ” “ I have."
njp.32101068574118	Have you not been living with him?"
njp.32101068574118	Have you not been very long? ” “ I think I have, ” he answered, as he drew his wife to his side, and 124 EAST LYNNE.
njp.32101068574118	Have you sorrow now? ” “ I have it always.
njp.32101068574118	Have you the headache, that you are leaning on your hand? ”.
njp.32101068574118	He came from Swainson, did he not?"
njp.32101068574118	He does not know whether to come on, or to turn and make a run for it. ” “ Who?
njp.32101068574118	He had no more thought of being married when he left here, three days ago, than I have. ” “ How can we tell that, Miss Corny?
njp.32101068574118	He is visiting the Herberts, I believe. ” “ Where does he come from?
njp.32101068574118	He looks like a gentleman. ” “ Who?
njp.32101068574118	He met me yesterday, and said,'What's this row about Dick Hare?'
njp.32101068574118	He must come over if he wants anything done. ” “ Where is he to come to?
njp.32101068574118	He said"“ What has tired you?"
njp.32101068574118	He seems all right to- day. ” “ Will he go in and win?"
njp.32101068574118	He turned as white as a sheet: perhaps I did; I do n't know. ” “ Was he well dressed? ” “ Very.
njp.32101068574118	He was indeed noble to look upon: though when was he ever other- wise?
njp.32101068574118	He was noboay, sir. ” “ What was his name?"
njp.32101068574118	He was sweet upon Afy Hallijohn. ” “ Where was he living at the time?
njp.32101068574118	He'll be all the safer."?
njp.32101068574118	He?
njp.32101068574118	Health, pros- perity, happiness, a peaceful conscience; what think we of these blessings while they are ours?
njp.32101068574118	Her eyes fell upon him; and — what was it that caused every nerve in her frame to vibrate, every pulse to quicken?
njp.32101068574118	Her future days, spent in repentance, could they atone for the past?
njp.32101068574118	Her repentance, her sorrow was greater than she could bear, and"“ And what?
njp.32101068574118	Her tongue clove to the roof of her mouth, and before she could bring out the ominous words, “ Is there danger? ” he had passed through it.
njp.32101068574118	Here, Mr. Otway, what are you afraid of?
njp.32101068574118	Here? ”"I knew her by hearsay, ” murmured Lady Isabel, arousing to recol.
njp.32101068574118	His papa was French, was he not?"
njp.32101068574118	How and when am I to see him, Barbara? ” “ I can tell you nothing until I have consulted Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	How are we to know that he did not go to be married?
njp.32101068574118	How are you getting on in Liverpool?
njp.32101068574118	How are you, miss?
njp.32101068574118	How are you?
njp.32101068574118	How are you? ” Joyce always pale, turned paler still, as she gazed in blank conster- nation.
njp.32101068574118	How are you?"
njp.32101068574118	How can I give my orders? ” “ I thought business would have called me out, but I am not going now.
njp.32101068574118	How can I help these things, I ask?"
njp.32101068574118	How can I know?
njp.32101068574118	How can you contrive that he shall see Thorn?
njp.32101068574118	How could he manage to say a word to Barbara alone?
njp.32101068574118	How could she accomplish her task of forgetting this man, if he was thus to be thrown into her home and her companionship?
njp.32101068574118	How could she contrive to see him?
njp.32101068574118	How could she ever doubt him?
njp.32101068574118	How could she remember even the broken cross, as she bent to the homage offered her, and drank in the honeyed words poured forth into her ear?
njp.32101068574118	How could you be cajoled into sanctioning such a thing?"
njp.32101068574118	How could you be so hazardous as to come here?"
njp.32101068574118	How could you so requite him?"
njp.32101068574118	How dare you be so negligent, Joyce?
njp.32101068574118	How dare you? ” A quick movement, a slight click, a hustle from the wondering crowd more immediately around, and the handcuffs were on.
njp.32101068574118	How dared that heart rise up in sharp rebellion at these witnessed tokens of love?
njp.32101068574118	How did it come about?"
njp.32101068574118	How does he know Lady Isabel?"
njp.32101068574118	How fared it with Lady Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	How had he outraged her?
njp.32101068574118	How indeed?
njp.32101068574118	How is East Lynne looking?
njp.32101068574118	How is the baby, sir?
njp.32101068574118	How long since?"
njp.32101068574118	How many children had you? ” pursued Mrs. Carlyle, somewhat abruptly.
njp.32101068574118	How many servants have you? ” “ Two.
njp.32101068574118	How many times am I to be compelled to beg that of you?
njp.32101068574118	How much money do you want? ” “ Twenty- five pounds would do, but —"Richard stopped in hesi- tation.
njp.32101068574118	How should it?
njp.32101068574118	How was it possible to ask Lady Mount Severn for money?
njp.32101068574118	How was it that you kept your hands off him, when he reappeared, to brave you, in West Lynne?
njp.32101068574118	How would that precious West Lynne construe it?
njp.32101068574118	I always dread lest, if we appear sad, he should suppose we are thinking of Richard. ” “ And what if he did, mamma?
njp.32101068574118	I am always tired! ” “ Do you tell Mr. Wainwright that you are tired? ” “ No.'
njp.32101068574118	I am going for your mamma after dinner. ” “ For mamma?-oh, I remember now.
njp.32101068574118	I am going on a little pleasure excursion, Mr. Inquisitive. ” “ For long?"
njp.32101068574118	I am not too fine, am I?"
njp.32101068574118	I am waiting for it. ” “ Why, where are you going with the pony- carriage? ” exclaimed Miss Carlyle, as Isabel left the room to dress.
njp.32101068574118	I asked him, indicating Thor 2, lai up?"
njp.32101068574118	I believe, I truly believe that God will some time bring the right to light; how can I despair, then, while I trust in Him?"
njp.32101068574118	I can not charge my memory now with the particulars. ” “ My father was murdered — you must have heard of that?"
njp.32101068574118	I caught up the gun, and was making off, when"“ Why did you catch up the gun? ” interrupted Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	I could not answer her, sir, until I had spoken to you. ” “ Well?
njp.32101068574118	I could see that it had a great coat- of- arms upon it. ” “ When do you say this happened?".
njp.32101068574118	I dare say you knew them in the time of Lady Isabel?"
njp.32101068574118	I do believe you care for me as much as you ever did?"
njp.32101068574118	I do n't. ” “ Why do you not bring a chair and sit down by me? ” He smiled and shook his head.
njp.32101068574118	I do not believe Carlyle ever thought of the girl- in that way. ” “ What do you mean?
njp.32101068574118	I do not see how it could be managed. ” “ Why ca n't she come out to me, as you have done?
njp.32101068574118	I found Isabel ill- treated and niiserable: far from enjoying a happy home in your house- “ What, şir?
njp.32101068574118	I had gone into an open space then, and he accosted me, asking if I had seen that hound'fly from the cottage?
njp.32101068574118	I had that from Wilson, and she ought to know, for she lived at the Hares?.
njp.32101068574118	I have invit--"“ What's up, Archibald? ” interrupted Miss Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	I have not been, since- since- Shall I tell you?
njp.32101068574118	I have sent for Mr. Carlyle, and expect him here every moment. ” “ Did papa owe them all money?
njp.32101068574118	I hope you slept well?"
njp.32101068574118	I know I am very ill, but why should she cry for that? ” “ Nonsense, William!
njp.32101068574118	I know how I should. ” “ How, sir? ” “ You can not expect me to say, Richard.
njp.32101068574118	I marked the house, thinking it was where he lived, and, and “ Why did you riot give him into custody, Richard?"
njp.32101068574118	I must see Mr. Carlyle. ” “ What objection can I have, my dear?
njp.32101068574118	I never heard the name before in my life. ” “ Did you never hear, or know, that a dreadful tragedy was enacted in this place about that period?"
njp.32101068574118	I never observed him in the town. ” “ Where did you meet with him?"
njp.32101068574118	I opened the nursery window, and called out, ‘ Is it fire?'
njp.32101068574118	I own a better one now. ” “ What is it, pray? ” “ You can look, and see."
njp.32101068574118	I put the question to Carlyle-- as between man and man- do you listen, Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	I saw a lot of folks making for the place, so I went too. ” “ Who is he?"
njp.32101068574118	I say, Barbara, how could he think of coming here, to oppose Carlyle?"
njp.32101068574118	I say, Carlyle, what on earth is this? ” cried he, in a tone that, for him, was wonderfully subdued and meek.
njp.32101068574118	I say, Mr. Dill, where's papa gone?"
njp.32101068574118	I say, how's Lady Isabel? ” “ Very ill still. ” “ By Jove!
njp.32101068574118	I say, mamma? ” “ What? ” asked Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	I say, mamma? ” “ What? ” asked Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	I say, what's up?"
njp.32101068574118	I say,"dropping his voice, “ did you know Lady Isabel?"
njp.32101068574118	I supposed you were with Miss Carlyle? ” “ Where is Cornelia, Barbara?"
njp.32101068574118	I supposed you were with Miss Carlyle? ” “ Where is Cornelia, Barbara?"
njp.32101068574118	I think a ball- room the greatest bore in life. ” “ On the look- out for what? ” “ For a wife.
njp.32101068574118	I think the dread and horror awoke me. ” “ What was this stranger like?"
njp.32101068574118	I trust it is a happy home to you? ” said Mr. Carlyle, speaking upon impulse.
njp.32101068574118	I trust we shall find it nothing more. ” “ Are you going home with me? ” “ Certainly.
njp.32101068574118	I want Lucy. ” “ What do you want with her?"
njp.32101068574118	I went farther off, and did not answer him- what were my private movements to him?-and that also told against me at the inquest.
njp.32101068574118	I went to demand an answer to my question- what he had done with you, and where you were?
njp.32101068574118	I wonder how many bedrooms there are?
njp.32101068574118	I wonder if either of them will be there, waiting for me? ” Yes.
njp.32101068574118	I wonder, ” he added, his thoughts changing,"whether I do look foolish in this shirt?
njp.32101068574118	I? ”.
njp.32101068574118	If I find him to be the man Thorn- what steps can then be taken?"
njp.32101068574118	If I never return, will you promise to remain with my children? ”.
njp.32101068574118	If Richard Hare were here present before us, and swore till he was black in the face that it was not he, I could convict him. ” “ By what means?'
njp.32101068574118	If Thorn had done it, would I screen him, or shuffle it off to Richard Hare?
njp.32101068574118	If Thorn were not Hallijohn's murderer, why should he be persecuting me?what would he care about me?
njp.32101068574118	If he is innocent, why could n't he have been cleared before?
njp.32101068574118	If not, where is he?
njp.32101068574118	If there is room for more, what of that? ” “ I like to think that I possess a memento of my best friends, or of those who were dear to me.
njp.32101068574118	If there is? ”.
njp.32101068574118	If they must have concocted a report that Richard had been seen at West Lynne, why put it back to a year ago?
njp.32101068574118	In a little time we may have him at home again with us; and then we can both make it up to him. ” “ And how are we to find him?
njp.32101068574118	In that case, do you know what I should have done? ” “ What should you have done? ” he smiled.
njp.32101068574118	In that case, do you know what I should have done? ” “ What should you have done? ” he smiled.
njp.32101068574118	In the park? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Indeed, I wonder she shows herself at all. ” “ Richard, you- you- will not be drawn in again?"
njp.32101068574118	Is Barbara on the watch?
njp.32101068574118	Is Mr. Carlvle at home? ” “ He will be home to dinner.
njp.32101068574118	Is Mr. Carlyle disengaged?"
njp.32101068574118	Is Mr. Vane coming? ” “ He was out yachting.
njp.32101068574118	Is Mrs. Hare better?"
njp.32101068574118	Is anything the matter? ” Mr. Carlyle, hearing the voice, came out, and she pounced upon him.
njp.32101068574118	Is he mad?"
njp.32101068574118	Is he well?"
njp.32101068574118	Is his room aired — and all that?"
njp.32101068574118	Is it a Christian or surname? ” “ She was baptized Joyce.
njp.32101068574118	Is it anything I can do for you? ” “ No, no,"sighed Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	Is it for me to read? ” “ For what else should I have thrown it there? ” he said.
njp.32101068574118	Is it for me to read? ” “ For what else should I have thrown it there? ” he said.
njp.32101068574118	Is it from you or Carlyle? ” Barbara laughed.
njp.32101068574118	Is it good, I wonder? ”"I thought that Mrs. Carlyle would come in with him,"said madame, at a loss for something to say.
njp.32101068574118	Is it laid up in lavender? ” “ Not exactly in lavender, Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	Is it my fault if I am called suddenly to England? ” “ Have you no pity for your child?"
njp.32101068574118	Is it my fault if I am called suddenly to England? ” “ Have you no pity for your child?"
njp.32101068574118	Is it no punishment to me, think you, to be here?"
njp.32101068574118	Is it not a famous room?
njp.32101068574118	Is it not a pity? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Is it occupied? ” “ Not yet.
njp.32101068574118	Is it true that Mr. Carlyle's elected?"
njp.32101068574118	Is it, or is it not the case, that a badly- spent life entails one of these awful death- beds?
njp.32101068574118	Is my child killed?
njp.32101068574118	Is my lady worse? ” “ I ask if she has been here.
njp.32101068574118	Is n't Lucy come home? ” “ I suppose not. ” “ Papa, I want Joyce. ” “ I will send her home to you.
njp.32101068574118	Is not a similar result arrived at by every husband that the Church ever made one with woman?
njp.32101068574118	Is she a good servant?
njp.32101068574118	Is she as fierce as ever?"
njp.32101068574118	Is she not in bed?"
njp.32101068574118	Is she up or in bed?"
njp.32101068574118	Is she within? ” “ Who, ma'am? ” “ Miss Hallijohn; Miss Joyce Hallijohn, ” somewhat sharply repeated the lady, as if impatient of any delay.
njp.32101068574118	Is she within? ” “ Who, ma'am? ” “ Miss Hallijohn; Miss Joyce Hallijohn, ” somewhat sharply repeated the lady, as if impatient of any delay.
njp.32101068574118	Is that your mare's nest, Cor- nelia?
njp.32101068574118	Is the house on fire?
njp.32101068574118	Is there anything so very astonishing in it?".
njp.32101068574118	Is there anything you wish to say to me?"
njp.32101068574118	Is there no one in West Lynne who could come here and tune my piano, Mr. Carlyle? ” she added, turning to him.
njp.32101068574118	Is this fact? ” cried the earl.
njp.32101068574118	Is this the same man? ” “ You are a fool, Carlyle: which is what I never took you to be yet,"was Mr. Bethel's rejoinder, spoken in a savage tone.
njp.32101068574118	Is your husband nothing?"
njp.32101068574118	It is all very well to oppose the argument, “ Who attends to the gossip of servants?"
njp.32101068574118	It is for yourself. ” “ Who is it from? ” began the justice, as Barbara returned to her chair.
njp.32101068574118	It is more than I can tell; why do people do foolish things?
njp.32101068574118	It is not yourself? ” “ You have said it. ” There was a brief silence.
njp.32101068574118	It is this that I have come to ask for. ” “ How are you working?
njp.32101068574118	It never gets to a trot. ” “ Did n't I see you turning into your father's house yesterday?"
njp.32101068574118	It was the presence of that grim Miss Corny which put her out: alone with her husband, she would have said, “ What ought I to order, Archibald?
njp.32101068574118	It was very late for breakfast: but why should she rise early, only to drag through another endless day?
njp.32101068574118	It will be so pleasant to be there; never to be tired or ill again. ” “ Pleasant?
njp.32101068574118	It will confine her to her bed for some time, I presume?"
njp.32101068574118	It would be a very Eden to me now. ” What was Mr. Carlyle about to say?
njp.32101068574118	It would not have been wise. ” “ Why have you summoned me here, Barbara?
njp.32101068574118	It's where I am in service. ” “ At Lady Mount Severn's?"
njp.32101068574118	James?"
njp.32101068574118	Joyce looked at her in surprise. “What have you to do with Lady Mount Severn? ” “ Well, that's good.
njp.32101068574118	Joyce, do you doubt that he is innocent??
njp.32101068574118	Joyce, do you doubt that he is innocent??
njp.32101068574118	Kane the music- master? ” “ How did you know he was a music- master?"
njp.32101068574118	Kane the music- master? ” “ How did you know he was a music- master?"
njp.32101068574118	Kane, the music- master? ” “ Yes, my lady.
njp.32101068574118	Kane?
njp.32101068574118	Kane?"
njp.32101068574118	Lady Isabel bent over her desk, making no reply, “ What will you do with him, I ask? ” persisted Miss Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	Look at his noble nature, his noble form: what are you by his side?
njp.32101068574118	Love?
njp.32101068574118	Ma'am, wo n't you tell him? ” He looked at them, thinking they must be moon- struck, for their conduct seemed inexplicable.
njp.32101068574118	Madame Vine blushed vividly: how could she, the governess, so have forgotten herself?
njp.32101068574118	Madame Vine, I think? ” he added, waiting to announce her, as, the hall traversed, he laid his hand on the drawing- room door.
njp.32101068574118	Mamma was coming in with me, but she ca n't now. ” “ How is your mamma, Master William?"
njp.32101068574118	May 1-dare 1-offer you to return to East Lynne as its mistress?"
njp.32101068574118	May I ask if you intend to act for him in a professional capacity?"
njp.32101068574118	May I go to his room?"
njp.32101068574118	May I ring for some water, papa? ”.
njp.32101068574118	More I can not say. ” “ Where do you intend to place your future residence?"
njp.32101068574118	Mr. Carlyle was sorely puzzled between Isabel's wishes and Isabel's welfare: he would promote both if he could, but if they clashed-?
njp.32101068574118	Mr. Carlyle, will you ring?
njp.32101068574118	Mr. Justice Hare?
njp.32101068574118	Must I decline it?"
njp.32101068574118	Must I go into the garden to him, or may he come in here?"
njp.32101068574118	My handsome self?"
njp.32101068574118	My lady?!
njp.32101068574118	My question was plain enough. ” “ How should I know where he is?
njp.32101068574118	My uncle would not pay them, or increase my allowance. ” “ What are your prospects, then? ” resumed Lady Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	Need you be told that it was Richard Hare?
njp.32101068574118	Nice news I have had! ” “ What about?
njp.32101068574118	No remonstrance: I tell you I am acting as foi your father Do you suppose he would have abandoned you, to starve or to work?"
njp.32101068574118	Noi Blanche? ” “ The story runs that he has played Blanche very false.
njp.32101068574118	Not Barbara? ” The moment the word “ Barbara"had escaped her lips, Lady Isabel recollected herself.
njp.32101068574118	Not dead? ” H 446 EAST LYNNE.
njp.32101068574118	Now I just ask you, Barbara, whether there's any sense in fadding with a man like that?
njp.32101068574118	Now whose fault was that?
njp.32101068574118	Now —"“ Who told you that?"
njp.32101068574118	Now, Mr. Archibald, what do you think? ” concluded the old 188 EAST LYNNE.
njp.32101068574118	Now, do you stop here, or will you go with me?"
njp.32101068574118	Now, where was the help for this?
njp.32101068574118	Now?-A pang, as of death, shot through her bitter heart.
njp.32101068574118	Of course I would n't say anything in his hearing. ” “ Why do you fancy him to be in a critical state?"
njp.32101068574118	Of what nature could it be?
njp.32101068574118	Oh, why did they not hang him?
njp.32101068574118	Oh, why had she suffered her mind to be so falsely and fatally perverted?
njp.32101068574118	On his way to be conveyed to West Lynne?
njp.32101068574118	Only"“ Only what, sir?
njp.32101068574118	Or by the prisoner?"
njp.32101068574118	Or did his con- science smite him?-as in the case of a certain gallant captain, re- nowned in song.
njp.32101068574118	Or will it be only our own relations? ” “ Oh, child!
njp.32101068574118	Ought he to dissemble with her as the doctors had done?
njp.32101068574118	Over the sea in a boat? ” Isabel — who had inherited the refined, sensitive feelings of her mother- replied only by a smile and vivid blush.
njp.32101068574118	Pain?
njp.32101068574118	Pale?
njp.32101068574118	Papa is ill again. ” “ Ill again?"
njp.32101068574118	Papa is not dead?"
njp.32101068574118	Papa took an oath that- Did you hear of it?"
njp.32101068574118	Papa, how shall I know mamma in heaven?
njp.32101068574118	Papa?"
njp.32101068574118	Per- haps he has sons?'
njp.32101068574118	Perhaps it's not etiquette- or whatever they call it- to wear them in a morning?
njp.32101068574118	Perhaps you have loved her sinceperhaps you love her still?"
njp.32101068574118	Perhaps you know the Hares also?
njp.32101068574118	Possibly she did not choose to refuse a death- bed prayer, possibly she reasoned as did Lady Isabel — what could it matter?
njp.32101068574118	Pray come away! ” “ How did you know me? ” she asked, in a hollow voice.
njp.32101068574118	Pray do you know your age? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Precious dull, this Stalkenberg! ” • Do you think so? ” “ It is for me.
njp.32101068574118	Pull me up on the pillow, will you, Madame Vine? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Rabbit?
njp.32101068574118	Rabbit?
njp.32101068574118	Richard, where is Afy? ” Richard Hare lifted his face in surprise.
njp.32101068574118	Safely?"
njp.32101068574118	Sea- bathing might do wonders. ” “ Should you think it well for her to go so far from home?"
njp.32101068574118	Seaside?
njp.32101068574118	Shall I accept the invitation for you?'
njp.32101068574118	Shall I bribe you? ” she added, laughing.
njp.32101068574118	Shall I do so? ” “ Say I am dead, if you like,"responded Miss Corny, who was in one of her cross moods.
njp.32101068574118	Shall I give the necessary orders for to- day?
njp.32101068574118	Shall I send him to- morrow?"
njp.32101068574118	Shall I serve the ham also? ” “ The ham? ” “ I beg pardon, sir; I guessed it might be Mr. Dill, and he is fond of our hams."
njp.32101068574118	Shall I serve the ham also? ” “ The ham? ” “ I beg pardon, sir; I guessed it might be Mr. Dill, and he is fond of our hams."
njp.32101068574118	Shall I tell you what she did?
njp.32101068574118	Shall I tell you why?
njp.32101068574118	Shall it be silence?'
njp.32101068574118	Shall it be so? ” The whole five accepted the invitation eagerly.
njp.32101068574118	Shall we go into the next room?"
njp.32101068574118	She could not remain at Castle Marling: who would do so, after so great an outrage?-Yet, where was she to go?
njp.32101068574118	She could not remain at Castle Marling: who would do so, after so great an outrage?-Yet, where was she to go?
njp.32101068574118	She eloped; abandoned him and her children. ” “ Are the children living? ” “ Yes, poor things.
njp.32101068574118	She felt as one isolated for ever, shut out from all that could make life dear; they were the world, she was out of it: what was her existence to him?
njp.32101068574118	She might have asked Mrs. Ducie for news, but she did not dare: what excuse could she, Madame Vine, make, for wishing tidings of East Lynne?
njp.32101068574118	She must not be suddenly grieved or alarmed just now. ” “ Why should she be either grieved or alarmed?
njp.32101068574118	She rose when Lady Isabel entered “ Can I speak to you a moment, if you please, my lady?"
njp.32101068574118	She saw Barbara at her husband's door; what should she be doing there, unless paying him a visit?
njp.32101068574118	She saw her abroad: and mamma told her that- what was it, madame?"
njp.32101068574118	She supposed she must go to East Lynne that evening; but where would be her excuse for it at home?
njp.32101068574118	She was debating the question, how could she prevent his coming?
njp.32101068574118	She was only Madame Vine, the governess: what would Mrs. Hare think of her familiarity?
njp.32101068574118	She would have responded, What fellow?
njp.32101068574118	She- who was my wife- lives. ” “ What of that?"
njp.32101068574118	Should I know you?
njp.32101068574118	Should he get her a glass of wine?"
njp.32101068574118	Should she go up with my lady? ” Mr. Carlyle preferred to go himself, and he held out his arm to Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	Should she so pain him?.
njp.32101068574118	Should you do right to walk?
njp.32101068574118	Should you object to take cause against Levison?"
njp.32101068574118	Sir John Dobede?
njp.32101068574118	Some important business has arisen, but I will be back as soon as possible. ” “ Who has sent for you? ” immediately demanded Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	Some one to see the children, perhaps?"
njp.32101068574118	Something that offends the delicacy of the Carlyle office? ” he added, with a laugh.
njp.32101068574118	Sometimes I am out myself, and then he has to be fed. ” “ You do not stay indoors for the baby, then? ” “ Certainly not.
njp.32101068574118	Sometimes I think that I can not support it any longer. ” “ Is it not past then?
njp.32101068574118	Squire Pinner?
njp.32101068574118	Tell her I am sorry to hear it, will you, Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	Ten o'clock?
njp.32101068574118	That done, my interference is over. ” “ How will he go to work, think you — if he does take it up?"
njp.32101068574118	That rumour may make people's wits sharper to know you in your disguise, than they otherwise might have been. ” “ But what was I to do?
njp.32101068574118	That same Thorn? ” “ It can be no other.
njp.32101068574118	That she may go and disgrace you, as the last one did?"
njp.32101068574118	That terrible mental wretchedness and remorse did overtake her, I know. ” “ How did you know it?
njp.32101068574118	That was the amount, was it?
njp.32101068574118	That would be nicer. ” “ Cream?
njp.32101068574118	That's all I have seen of Thorn. ” “ Are you sure? ” pursued Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	That's you, Carlyle? ” The justice thought ne could take a glass of ale, and some was brought in.
njp.32101068574118	The chief object of my journey was to see your lordship. ” “ What can I do for you?"
njp.32101068574118	The difficulty will be, who is to get the promise from him? ” “ I will, ” said Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	The discomforts alluded to by Joyce, as the work of his sister, had evidently no part in this; yet, what had he done?
njp.32101068574118	The girl Afy has never been heard of since, has she?'
njp.32101068574118	The gold ones. ” “ Are they? ” “ I believe the frost killed them; I do n't know what else it could have been.
njp.32101068574118	The justice shut down the window, and strode back to Benjamin, leaving Mrs. Hare and Barbara at an uncertainty: were they to go, or were they not?
njp.32101068574118	The justices are with him. ” “ The justices! ” uttered Barbara, in alarm,"and papa one of them?
njp.32101068574118	The old piano here was a bad one, and I bought a better. ” “ What did it cost?
njp.32101068574118	The same Thorn?"
njp.32101068574118	The tenants leave your house in March, do they not? ” “ Yes, they do,"snapped Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	The time is getting on, sir: is that Thorn sure to come? ” “ He sent me word that he would, in reply to my note.
njp.32101068574118	The veil was over the hedge, the spectacles were broken: how could she dare to show her unsheltered face to the world?
njp.32101068574118	The very worst thing that could happen for him, would be your arrest. ” “ Then why molest me?
njp.32101068574118	Then what would you like to take? ” asked Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	Then, who acts as mistress while she's absent? ” “ I give the orders, ” said Joyce.
njp.32101068574118	There is no possibility of my marrying any one, Isabel: you are my wife. ” “ But if I die?
njp.32101068574118	There only remains yourself. ”"And what can I do?"
njp.32101068574118	They want him to become their new member. ” “ Member of what?
njp.32101068574118	They would like a finger in the pie with such a property as that. ” “ Shall I see Sir Peter Levison for you?"
njp.32101068574118	This day, this very day, gentlemen, was at length fixed for his departure. ” “ And you tell us you bought the furniture?"
njp.32101068574118	This house? ” “ Well, I do n't know, sir.
njp.32101068574118	This ought to convince you that the topic may cease. ” “ Your husband?"
njp.32101068574118	Thorn — that was the name. ” “ And you had not?"
njp.32101068574118	Thorn, is that you?
njp.32101068574118	Thorn?
njp.32101068574118	Thorn?-I think Thorn was the name he mentioned.
njp.32101068574118	Thornton goes in for West Lynne, and takes your place with Headthelot. ” “ Did Headthelot send you here to say this? ” asked Sir Francis.
njp.32101068574118	To what did you allude when you asserted that your husband had driven you to it?"
njp.32101068574118	To what end, then, should I confess?
njp.32101068574118	Two years and some months she stopped, and — ” “ And what, sir?"
njp.32101068574118	Until I may go in again will you bring me word how he is--- continually?"
njp.32101068574118	Very likely: for, has not the great preacher said, that childhood and youth are vanity?
njp.32101068574118	Very slow and lingering; mild, too; I grant you that. ” “ Is there no hope for the child?"
njp.32101068574118	Very unlikely men, they, to run into an expedition of the sort. ” “ What expedition?"
njp.32101068574118	WHAT possessed him? ” cried the exasperated Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	Was Afy telling her truth?
njp.32101068574118	Was Barbara not his wife?
njp.32101068574118	Was Lord Mount Severn right, when he accused her of so dressing in self- gratification?
njp.32101068574118	Was Mrs. Carlyle putting away the children from their father?
njp.32101068574118	Was any mother ever tried as I am tried? ” “ Dear mamma, do n't!
njp.32101068574118	Was he often on horseback, riding to a distance?'
njp.32101068574118	Was he to believe Afy?
njp.32101068574118	Was he, or was he not the man?
njp.32101068574118	Was her punishment ever to end?
njp.32101068574118	Was it lost?
njp.32101068574118	Was it probable that Joyce could tell him?
njp.32101068574118	Was it really Afy who stood before her?-Afy the erring.
njp.32101068574118	Was it right, even if she should succeed in remaining undiscovered, that she and Barbara should dwell in the same habitation, Mr. Carlyle being in it?
njp.32101068574118	Was she about to enter the presence of Mr. Carlyle?-had the moment really come?
njp.32101068574118	Was she about to enter the presence of Mr. Carlyle?-had the moment really come?
njp.32101068574118	Was she good- looking, Joyce?"
njp.32101068574118	Was she nothing to him?
njp.32101068574118	Was the bridal party never coming?
njp.32101068574118	Was the divorce out previously? ” he added, arresting his strides to ask it.
njp.32101068574118	Was there any small corner of rejoicing in her heart that it was so?
njp.32101068574118	Was this the purport of Richard's visit- to say this? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Watching for thieves and poachers?
njp.32101068574118	We could not let him go out again in the snow; so he slept here, in that room next Cornelia's. ” “ Does she know of it? ” “ Of course.
njp.32101068574118	We have dined. ” “?
njp.32101068574118	Well — just now “ Barbara, what can be the matter?"
njp.32101068574118	Well, Barbara? ” “ I was thinking if we could only persuade mamma to come to us for the time he is away.
njp.32101068574118	Well, now, what should she do?
njp.32101068574118	Well, they married, and at the end of a year Afy was born--"“ Who?"
njp.32101068574118	Well, what is it?"
njp.32101068574118	Well?
njp.32101068574118	Well?
njp.32101068574118	Well? ” “ I put some of that hair of Richard's into it, and a bit of Anne's, and of mamma's: a tiny little bit of each.
njp.32101068574118	Were Mrs. Carlyle's capricious “ wants ” to be studied before her child's life?
njp.32101068574118	Were they married?"
njp.32101068574118	Were you engaged when I asked Barbara to be my wife, some months ago? ” “ No.
njp.32101068574118	Were you tired of your entertainers? ” “ Why, he knew what time my lady was returning, ” thought John to himself;"he asked me.
njp.32101068574118	What am I to do next, Mr. Carlyle?"
njp.32101068574118	What are you doing? ” “ Do n't inquire too closely, Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	What are you saying, Mr. Carlyle? ” “ I beg your pardon, Lady Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	What are you thinking of? ” He gave Barbara his arm, and they pursued their way.
njp.32101068574118	What at?"
njp.32101068574118	What brings him back?"
njp.32101068574118	What brings him home at this time of day?"
njp.32101068574118	What brings you here?""
njp.32101068574118	What brought it there?
njp.32101068574118	What business had the fellow to abuse me?
njp.32101068574118	What business has he to go and fetter himself with a wife again?
njp.32101068574118	What business is it?
njp.32101068574118	What can I do?"
njp.32101068574118	What can have caused all this?"
njp.32101068574118	What can he be coming again for?"
njp.32101068574118	What can it matter, now that I am as one lost to this world?
njp.32101068574118	What can possibly be your objection to act for him? ”.
njp.32101068574118	What can we do to save him?"
njp.32101068574118	What can you want with either, Archibald?"
njp.32101068574118	What could have become of him?
njp.32101068574118	What could she be waiting for?
njp.32101068574118	What could she do but rise also, drop hers from her face, and give it him in answer?
njp.32101068574118	What could she say?
njp.32101068574118	What could she want?
njp.32101068574118	What creditable servant would flaunt about in such a dress and bonnet as that? — with that flimsy gauze thing over her face!
njp.32101068574118	What demon prompted you to sell yourself to that bad man?"
njp.32101068574118	What did it signify?
njp.32101068574118	What did people want with change of air?
njp.32101068574118	What did she think of his beauty now?
njp.32101068574118	What disguise is he in?"
njp.32101068574118	What do he, the scum, turn himself up at West Lynne for, bearding Mr. Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	What do you care for me?
njp.32101068574118	What do you know about it? ” “ Nothing,"said Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	What do you say?
njp.32101068574118	What do you say?"
njp.32101068574118	What do you think they are going to name the baby?
njp.32101068574118	What do you think?
njp.32101068574118	What do you want, fellow?'
njp.32101068574118	What does Mr. Wainwright say?"

njp.32101068574118	What else should I say but,'Yes, to that?
njp.32101068574118	What emotion was it that agitated his countenance, impeded his breath, and dyed his face blood- red?
njp.32101068574118	What excuse could she offer to Mr. Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	What for?
njp.32101068574118	What for?"
njp.32101068574118	What had he left there? ” Now this was a random shaft.
njp.32101068574118	What had he to conceal?
njp.32101068574118	What had it been?
njp.32101068574118	What had put this bygone nonsense into his wife's head?
njp.32101068574118	What had she gained in return?

njp.32101068574118	Who asked you to like him as a husband before he became such?
njp.32101068574118	Who could be desirous of seeing her?
njp.32101068574118	Who could suspect, under Barbara's sometimes cold, sometimes playful exterior, that one was hidden in her heart, filling up its every crevice?
njp.32101068574118	Who could watch over him and attend to him as she would?
njp.32101068574118	Who else in West Lynne is likely to come to a felon's death?"
njp.32101068574118	Who else is there?

njp.32101068574118	Who? ” asked Joyce.
njp.32101068574118	Whom do you take me for what do you take me for? ” she repeated, rising in her bitter mortification.
njp.32101068574118	Whose face was that, who was he, standing opposite to her, side by side with John Herbert?
njp.32101068574118	Whose fault is it?
njp.32101068574118	Whose form was it that was thus advancing, and changing the monotony of her mind into tumult?
njp.32101068574118	Why did I come back again to East Lynne? ” Why, truly?
njp.32101068574118	Why did I come back again to East Lynne? ” Why, truly?

njp.32101068574118	Why did she keep silence?
njp.32101068574118	Why did she not speak?
njp.32101068574118	Why did she not try to arrest the breeze as it filled the sails of the passing vessels?
njp.32101068574118	Why did you leave at all?"
njp.32101068574118	Why did you suspect him? ”.
njp.32101068574118	Why do n't you ask me where Old Nick is, and how he does?
njp.32101068574118	Why do you stare so at me, Barbara? ” Barbara was in truth scanning his face keenly.
njp.32101068574118	Why does she do so?"
njp.32101068574118	Why had he ventured there again?
njp.32101068574118	Why had she given vent in the chariot to that burst of passionate tears, of angry reproach?
njp.32101068574118	Why had she listened to that false man, as he pointed them out to her, walking there in the moonlight?
njp.32101068574118	Why had she not trusted her noble husband?
njp.32101068574118	Why in the world did she add that objectionable “ ma'am ” to every sentence?
njp.32101068574118	Why send an officer to dodge me?"
njp.32101068574118	Why should I go, and leave papa and Lucy?"
njp.32101068574118	Why should I sleep in your room?
njp.32101068574118	Why should I tell him?
njp.32101068574118	Why should he not do so?
njp.32101068574118	Why should her communication have produced this effect upon Madame Vine?
njp.32101068574118	Why should she think so? ” “ How the conviction at first arose, I can not tell you; I do not think she knows herself.
njp.32101068574118	Why should she?"

njp.32101068574118	Why should they not go? ” “ Why should they not? ” retorted Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	Why should you ask me that?

njp.32101068574118	Why should you?"
njp.32101068574118	Why, how can you live?
njp.32101068574118	Why, how long is it, mamma?"
njp.32101068574118	Why, oh why had she hastened to be revenged?
njp.32101068574118	Why, what will be done?
njp.32101068574118	Why, you have been a strolling player! ” “ And what have you been?"
njp.32101068574118	Why?
njp.32101068574118	Why? ” replied Tom Herbert, who was not famed for polite- ness, being blunt by nature and “ fast ” by habit.
njp.32101068574118	Why? ” “ A curious incident occurred to me last evening, sir.
njp.32101068574118	Will Jesus forgive him?"
njp.32101068574118	Will he recover? ” They all turned at the address, and looked at her.
njp.32101068574118	Will it be credited that he denied the past? — that he met with mock- ing suavity her indignant reminders of what had been between them."
njp.32101068574118	Will it be well to tell him?
njp.32101068574118	Will it turn out, Richard, that he had anything to do with the murder?"
njp.32101068574118	Will not Sir Peter assist you? ” “ I believe he would were the case fairly represented to him; but how am I to get over to do it?

njp.32101068574118	Will she see me?"
njp.32101068574118	Will that suit?
njp.32101068574118	Will those men allow it to be done?
njp.32101068574118	Will you allow me to pilot you through the room? ” “ Oh, my dear, considerate papa! ” she laughed.
njp.32101068574118	Will you be so obliging — I am not strong — as to hand me that writing- case?"
njp.32101068574118	Will you do this, Archibald?"
njp.32101068574118	Will you find it for me?"
njp.32101068574118	Will you go with me, and be my upper maid again?"
njp.32101068574118	Will you grant it? ” “ Ay, child, you do n't ask them often.
njp.32101068574118	Will you kindly give it to him?
njp.32101068574118	Will you please to walk into the drawing- room?'
njp.32101068574118	Will you see her? ” “ Is she likely to suit?
njp.32101068574118	Will you see her? ” “ Is she likely to suit?
njp.32101068574118	Would Isabel grow up to indifference, to — perhaps do as she had done?
njp.32101068574118	Would Mr. Carlyle come to the fly to hand her out?
njp.32101068574118	Would Mrs. Carlyle pardon her and allow her to be dressed?
njp.32101068574118	Would any one dare to do it?"
njp.32101068574118	Would he recognize her?
njp.32101068574118	Would it be advisable to acquaint her with the truth? ” “ Why should you not?
njp.32101068574118	Would it be advisable to acquaint her with the truth? ” “ Why should you not?
njp.32101068574118	Would it be happiness for you? ” “ Great and deep happiness, ” he whispered.
njp.32101068574118	Would it be thus always?
njp.32101068574118	Would madame have any objection to take one in England?
njp.32101068574118	Would she have married him herself then?
njp.32101068574118	Would they be trained to goodness, to morality, to religion?
njp.32101068574118	Would you dare to do it, were Mr. Carlyle within reach?
njp.32101068574118	Would you have such a man?"
njp.32101068574118	Would you like some bread and jam, my boy?"
njp.32101068574118	Would you very much mind taking it a little earlier this evening?
njp.32101068574118	You are convinced now that she was not with him?"
njp.32101068574118	You are not going to live in London?"
njp.32101068574118	You are sure that she is dead?
njp.32101068574118	You have done it once: was not that enough for you, but you must run your head into the noose again?"
njp.32101068574118	You have never dusted the breakfast- parlour. ” “ Never dusted it! ” returned Joyce;"where could your eyes have been, ma'am, to see that?"
njp.32101068574118	You have seen Mr Carlyle then?
njp.32101068574118	You remember the Lieutenant Thorn, whom Richard spoke of as being the real criminal?"
njp.32101068574118	You were here with him, were you not?'
njp.32101068574118	You will make your cold worse, standing here. ” “ Now I want to know whether you are not ashamed of yourself? ” she deliberately pursued.
njp.32101068574118	You will not leave me yet? ” “ I can not do otherwise,"he answered.
njp.32101068574118	You will not withdraw?"
njp.32101068574118	You would know him again, Richard? ” “ Know him! ” passionately echoed Richard Hare.
njp.32101068574118	You would like luncheon before you go?
njp.32101068574118	and when will he be returning to it?
njp.32101068574118	are you ill?

njp.32101068574118	did they?
njp.32101068574118	did you hear of him?"
njp.32101068574118	do n't you care for me?"
njp.32101068574118	do you hear?"
njp.32101068574118	do you know?"
njp.32101068574118	full and full of it. ” “ What sort of sorrow? ” “ Pain, sickness, care, trouble, sin, remorse, weariness, ” she wailed out.
njp.32101068574118	furniture as this, to our claims — if you come to compare'em?
njp.32101068574118	had she got so far as to ask that?
njp.32101068574118	have I been asleep?"
njp.32101068574118	have I not said that I'll swear it?"
njp.32101068574118	how still the house seemed to be?
njp.32101068574118	in what manner had he goaded her to it?
njp.32101068574118	is it bad news?"
njp.32101068574118	is she, though?

njp.32101068574118	or was he to believe the past assertion of Richard Hare?
njp.32101068574118	replied Mr. Carlyle, “ what can I think but that it is the same man?
njp.32101068574118	said Mr. Dill, pleasantly “ But now, what do you want with Dr. Martin?
njp.32101068574118	some such name as that. ” “ Was it Hare? ” “ That was it.
njp.32101068574118	that she could see her children but for a day, an hour?

njp.32101068574118	were they being brought in to her?
njp.32101068574118	what can I do?"
njp.32101068574118	what could her future life have been? ” “ Oh, do n't say it!"
njp.32101068574118	what did she come here for? ” Thoughts are quick; imagination is quicker; and Joyce was giving the reins to both.
njp.32101068574118	what do you mean by such an assertion?".
njp.32101068574118	what excuse to offer?
njp.32101068574118	what have I done? ” she re- iterated aloud.
njp.32101068574118	what have I done? ” “ You have done all that you ought, Joyce, but you must stay with the children.
njp.32101068574118	what have you done?
njp.32101068574118	what hope or promise to give?
njp.32101068574118	what is my misery to you?
njp.32101068574118	what recked you that you gained my love?"
njp.32101068574118	what was his rank?"
njp.32101068574118	what would you have it? ” snapped Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	where could the earl be?
njp.32101068574118	where have you come from?
njp.32101068574118	why do n't you say that you love me?"
njp.32101068574118	why not have fixed it for to- day or yesterday?
njp.32101068574118	why, I'd rather go and live with a red Indian who goes about tattooed, and keeps sixteen wives. ” “ But, Afy, where did you go, then?
njp.32101068574118	will she smell the smoke? ” asked he, with a mixture of alarm and concern in his face.
njp.32101068574118	will you not try for me?"
njp.32101068574118	would not somebody's hopes be up again if anything should happen? ” “ Nonsense!
njp.32101068574118	« And then?"
njp.32101068574118	« Are these all the thanks a fellow gets for travelling in this inclement weather?
njp.32101068574118	« Was it a joke? ” he returned, trem- bling with agitation, uncertain whether he was in paradise or not.
njp.32101068574118	“ A contest?
njp.32101068574118	“ A lady for me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ A would- be client, whom you turn over to me, in your exclusiveness? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ A youngish man, is n't he?
njp.32101068574118	“ Afy Hallijohn?
njp.32101068574118	“ Afy was here herself two or three months ago. ” “ Was she? ” said Richard, beguiled for an instant from the thought of his own danger.
njp.32101068574118	“ Afy, shall I tell you why I want to find him?
njp.32101068574118	“ Alice?
njp.32101068574118	“ All I remember is, that he appeared to be a gentleman. ” “ Was he tall?
njp.32101068574118	“ Allow me to recommend you to pause and consider, ere you enter upon this insult to Mr. Carlyle,"she resumed “ What is Carlyle to you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Am I one to swear to a wrong man, colonel?
njp.32101068574118	“ Am I?
njp.32101068574118	“ An evil- what? ” “ An evil omen.
njp.32101068574118	“ And I fear she will make herself very unhappy if they do not go, “ Why should they not go? ” asked Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ And about the money?
njp.32101068574118	“ And are you comfortable, Afy?-are you in a good service? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ And had you not gone after him?
njp.32101068574118	“ And he fell in love with your pretty face? ” said Lawyer Ball, taking up the examination.
njp.32101068574118	“ And how does the cod- liver oil get on? ” asked he of William, as he drew him to the light.
njp.32101068574118	“ And how have you all been, Barbara, these few days? ” “ Oh, very well.
njp.32101068574118	“ And how long was it, after your first meeting with him, before you discovered his real name?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And how much did you anticipate the teaching would bring you in? ” “ Not very much,"she listlessly said.
njp.32101068574118	“ And is Dick at West Lynne?-that's the question!"
njp.32101068574118	“ And leave Captain Levison alone?
njp.32101068574118	“ And my proofs of his guilt, Mr. Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	“ And now tell me what put this into your brain?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And pray what is Lady Isabel's answer?
njp.32101068574118	“ And pray where did you address the letter? ” “ Lady Mount Severn could not give me the address.
njp.32101068574118	“ And that Levison's guilty?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And that was how you knew Levison?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And the earl?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And where was Richard Hare? ” “ I do n't know.
njp.32101068574118	“ And where's that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And why did you not turn the tables, and set the officers upon him?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And why do you not now? ” asked Lady Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	“ And why is the express gone to Lynneborough for Dr. Martin?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And you go back to morrow? ” “ Necessity has no law, my darling. ” “ Then take me with you. ” Mr. Carlyle smiled.
njp.32101068574118	“ And you say you have grounds for this belief, sir?
njp.32101068574118	“ And you will not forget it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ And your own house? ” he exclaimed.
njp.32101068574118	“ Anything else, my lady? ” “ No,"replied Lady Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald Carlyle, how could you go and make a fool of yourself?
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald, I must see my boy; how can it be managed?
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald, have you heard the disgraceful news?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald, she has had a happy home here: you will render yours as much so?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald, what have you been telling Blair about that geranium bed?
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald, what is the matter with you?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald, you will not suffer this man's insolent doings to deter you from your plans?
njp.32101068574118	“ Archibald. ”"What is it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are the children well?
njp.32101068574118	“ Are they at all alike? ” she asked.
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you acquainted with this neighbourhood?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you and I myths?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you asleep, William?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you aware, Lady Isabel, that an order, such as that would only puzzle the butcher?
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you better, Barbara?
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you going past our house? ” inquired Barbara, perceiving then that Otway Bethel also stood there, but just beyond view of the avenue.
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you going to dance a hornpipe through the streets of West Lynne to- morrow, and declare yourself openly?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you going to make a long stay now?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you here alone, Miss Hare?
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you ill?
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you intimate with that Captain Thorn who is staying with the Herberts? ” asked he.
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you married? ” inquired Joyce, noting the word “ settled."
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you mistress, Joyce, or am I?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you not going out, Richard? ” Mrs. Ha: e ventured to say.
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you proposing to make any stay at West Lynne? ” “ Off again to- morrow.
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you still ready to let me call you mine? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Are you sure that you made no mistake?-that the other in this interview was Otway Bethel? ” Mr. Dill sadly shook his head.
njp.32101068574118	“ As the prisoner thus spoke, you mean?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara, I say, do n't you think that this dream, coming uncalled- for, uninduced, must forbode some ill?
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara, are you wandering about there to take cold?
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara, could your papa have heard me mention Richard? ” “ No, no, mamma, impossible; the door was shut.
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara, what should you say to living in London for a few months out of the twelve?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara, you have done nothing but fidget all the evening: what's the matter with you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara,"was the whispered, eager answer,"do n't you recognize me?
njp.32101068574118	“ Barbara?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Beautiful. ” “ Better- looking than I am? ” cried vain Afy, glancing at herself in an opposite mirror.
njp.32101068574118	“ Beg pardon, sir: could you happen to inform me whereabouts my young lady is sitting? ” “ At the other end of the room, near the orchestra."
njp.32101068574118	“ Besides Captain Thorn, what gentlemen were in the wood, the night of the murder?
njp.32101068574118	“ Besides, your object in going is to recover health, and how can you do that, if you are to be worried with the children?
njp.32101068574118	“ Bethel?"
njp.32101068574118	“ But are not those of value? ” “ That it might.
njp.32101068574118	“ But did you? ” persisted Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ But his flight, Mr. Archibald?
njp.32101068574118	“ But how can we be sure that she will be there?"
njp.32101068574118	“ But how is he to get in? ” “ To get in?
njp.32101068574118	“ But how is he to get in? ” “ To get in?
njp.32101068574118	“ But how is it to be done?
njp.32101068574118	“ But how shall I know her?
njp.32101068574118	“ But if the baby wakes, miladi? ” “ I will ring."
njp.32101068574118	“ But in what did they do wrong? ” he repeated, as he obeyed her.
njp.32101068574118	“ But the danger? ” urged Richard.
njp.32101068574118	“ But what could have possessed Locksley to say what he did?
njp.32101068574118	“ But what has happened? ” questioned Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ But what on earth brought you here, Richard?
njp.32101068574118	“ But what?
njp.32101068574118	“ But who has written it?
njp.32101068574118	“ But why does his face look like that?
njp.32101068574118	“ But why should you scruple, Mr. Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	“ But will Joyce ever forgive me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ But will she like that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ But you were surely shivering? ” 164 EAST LYNNE.
njp.32101068574118	“ But, if I draw it quite close to the fire for you?
njp.32101068574118	“ But, sir,-if Richard Hare was innocent, why did he run away, and keep away?"
njp.32101068574118	“ But,"added the foreman, “ we wish to recommend him to mercy. ” “ On what grounds? ” inquired the judge.
njp.32101068574118	“ Ca n't I see my mother? ” “ How can you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Ca n't I see my mother? ” “ How can you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Ca n't Joyce do it? ” returned Mr. Carlyle."
njp.32101068574118	“ Can I do anything for you, madame? ” she asked.
njp.32101068574118	“ Can I see Mr. Carlyle?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Can Peter take me? ” continued Barbara “ I had better take you, ” said Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Can he have gone away on purpose, fearing consequences? ” won- dered Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ Can not you advise me as to what my course ought to be? ” he inquired, detecting Mr. Carlyle's hesitation.
njp.32101068574118	“ Can this be true? ” he asked, in a low tone, when she returned to him.
njp.32101068574118	“ Can this be true? ” he inquired, in a tone of deep agitation.
njp.32101068574118	“ Can you do anything for him?
njp.32101068574118	“ Can you see him?
njp.32101068574118	“ Carlyle, where are you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Child, will you tell me how I am to help it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Child, ” said she, drawing near to and leaning over Lady Isabel, “ had I anything to do with sending you from East Lynne?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Coffin?
njp.32101068574118	“ Come to England?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Consider of it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Could I not write a line myself?
njp.32101068574118	“ Could he have heard what we were saying? ” ejaculated Barbara, below her breath.
njp.32101068574118	“ Could it be one of the Thorns of Swainson?".
njp.32101068574118	“ Could n't Barbara do so?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Could the shot, ” asked the counsel, “ have been fired by Otway Bethel? ” “ It could not.
njp.32101068574118	“ Courting Afy?".
njp.32101068574118	“ Dear me, Archibald, you need not stare as if I had said it was the moon gave it me. ” “ But how could ale give it you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Death?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Did Archibald turn them out again?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Did I not do it well? ” she exclaimed.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did I what, Isabel? ” “ You never loved Barbara Hare? ” “ Loved her!
njp.32101068574118	“ Did I what, Isabel? ” “ You never loved Barbara Hare? ” “ Loved her!
njp.32101068574118	“ Did he leave a gun with you? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did he marry Barbara Hare? ” “ You may take your oath of that, ” said Afy.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did he pro- claim that- Francis Levison?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did he speak French or English?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did he- mention the name of the family?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did the doctor say at what hour he should call?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did they all send me some kisses?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did they die before your husband?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you ascertain positively, beyond all doubt, that she did die?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you ask him how mamma was? ”"I asked him,"said Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you buy that fine piano which has arrived?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you ever see Lady Isabel? ” she asked, in a low tone.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you forget that the Jeaffersons dine at six? ” was her greeting.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you hear anything of it? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you hear of our mishap with the pony carriage?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you hear the gun go off? ” “ I heard a shot, as I was sitting on the stump of a tree, and think- ing.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you know her well?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you know me, Barbara? ” was his rejoinder.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you meet his mother abroad?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you meet many whom you knew?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you not know that they have seized the corpse? ” asked Mr. Carlyle, dropping his voice.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you say he was at the Buck's Head? ” asked Squire Pinner.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you say she had an angel's face?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you see her?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you want Mr. Hare, Archibald?
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you, Archibald? ” The words were spoken in a low tone, almost, or he fancied it, a tone of emotion, and he looked at her in amazement.
njp.32101068574118	“ Did you, while you were stopping there, ever come across a namesake of yours, one Thorn? ” “ I believe I did.
njp.32101068574118	“ Disguise?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do n't say I never give you anything, ” she murmured: “ did he allude to the chain, or to the- the kiss?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do n't you feel well, William?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do n't you hear your mamma, young lady? ” pursued the justice.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do n't you think so, Mr. Ball? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do they talk yet of Lady Isabel's marrying? ” pursued Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do we walk in, Madame Vine? ” “ I do not know, William.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you admit intruders here, Madame Vine? ” cried he, with his sweet smile and his attractive manner.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you always take bread and milk for breakfast?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you and Mr. Carlyle believe him to have been guilty? ” “ Yes."
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you believe that? ” asked Lawyer Ball.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you believe yourself to be in danger? ” “ Not in immediate danger, sir.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you come from West Lynne?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you cough at night, my darling child? ” “ Not much,"he answered.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you go?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you hope it, papa? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you know Sir Francis Levison?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you know that I love you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you know that fellow?'
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you know that gentleman?'
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you like that Captain Levison?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you make her caps also? ” demurely asked Lady Isabel."
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you mean for the election?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you mean that he does not have enough to eat?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you not care that I should come to“you, William?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you perceive the change in his countenance? ” he whispered.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you purpose staying long in Boulogne? ” “ I do n't know.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you remember that I could hang you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you say you want to go shopping to- day, Anne? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you see how smart I have made · Barbara? ” Barbara hastily took off the chain, and laid it before her mother.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you suppose I could put premature questions?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you suppose I have only this one reception- room?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you take me for a child, or an imbecile, that I should fancy I see Thorn in every shadow, or meet people where I do not?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you think Barbara pretty? ” “ Very."
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you think I'll be poisoned with tobacco- smoke from a dozen pipes?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you think him very ill, sir? ” she whispered.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you think you can outrage me with impunity, as you are outraging West Lynne?
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you think you shall find your way down alone, madame?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you want anything here? ” she quietly said.
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you want anything, Peter?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Do you want it now? ” asked Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Does Captain Thorn live here?'
njp.32101068574118	“ Does Captain Thorn purpose making a long stay with you? ” he stopped him to inquire.
njp.32101068574118	“ Does Mrs. Hare krow of this?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Does any one sleep in your room?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Does he look so much worse to- night? ” “ Not any worse than usual.
njp.32101068574118	“ Does he say when he is coming home? ” “ You had better see, Miss Cornelia.
njp.32101068574118	“ Does my father owe you any money?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Does she seem steady, Joyce? ” “ I think so, sir- steady for her.
njp.32101068574118	“ Does she? ” replied Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ For giving you a troublesome journey?
njp.32101068574118	“ For whom? ” inquired the earl.
njp.32101068574118	“ Francis, have you any consideration left for me-- any in the world?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Had n't you better have your hair curled, and your coat- tails lined with white satin? ” retorted she.
njp.32101068574118	“ Had she many admirers? ” asked Lady Isabel, who seemed in- clined to treat the tale jokingly.
njp.32101068574118	“ Had the magistrates a busy day yesterday, do you know? ” he resumed.
njp.32101068574118	“ Hallijohn? ” whispered Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Happiness?
njp.32101068574118	“ Has any one been striving to bias your mind against me? ” he resumed.
njp.32101068574118	“ Has anything been proved against them? ” she asked, in her usual soft tone, almost a whisper.
njp.32101068574118	“ Has papa given any orders about the carriage, Benjamin?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Has the coffin come yet? ” said they.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have I walked too fast?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Have the goodness to recollect yourself. ” “ What have I said now?
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you any reproach to cast to me? ” he gently said, bending his head a little.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you any sticking- plaster, Archibald? ” He opened his pocket- book, and laid it on the table while he took from it some black plaster.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you been setting him on to this?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you counted the cost?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you decided to grant my prayer? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you ever heard from your sister, Joyce? ” began Mr. Carlyle, somewhat abruptly.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you finished, Archibald?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you forgotten, dear Richard?
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you heard from Anne? ” inquired Mr. Carlyle, willing to change the subject.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you paper and writing things at hand?
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you seen Lady Mount Severn lately? ” he inquired.
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you seen him since?'
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you the gout, that you could not walk to St. Jude's on foot?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Have you told me all? ” he asked presently, lifting them.
njp.32101068574118	“ He was Lieutenant Thorn then, and he was Captain Thorn afterwards. ” “ You have seen him since? ” “ Once in a way we have met."
njp.32101068574118	“ He's gone, is n't he?
njp.32101068574118	“ Her heart broke ir, it; yearning after you and your father. ” “ What makes you think it? ” “ Child, I know it."
njp.32101068574118	“ Here it is, I believe: what brought it in there? ” He opened a small box, and taking out a long gold chain, threw it round her neck.
njp.32101068574118	“ His last marriage brought him all that, did it not? ” 286 EAST LYNNE.
njp.32101068574118	“ Hotel?
njp.32101068574118	“ How am I to thank you for it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How are we to distinguish?
njp.32101068574118	“ How are you, Afy?
njp.32101068574118	“ How are you?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How came this marriage about, sir?
njp.32101068574118	“ How can I tell?
njp.32101068574118	“ How can consumption have come to him?
njp.32101068574118	“ How can he come to England under present circumstances?
njp.32101068574118	“ How can he stay away from it?
njp.32101068574118	“ How can it have come to light? ” she breathed.
njp.32101068574118	“ How can you be so absurd, Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	“ How can you suffer a foolish dream so to overcome you as to make you ill?
njp.32101068574118	“ How could that be?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How could you dare come back here? ” she asked, her tone one of sad, soft wailing; not of reproach.
njp.32101068574118	“ How could you dress your- self like that for a concert?
njp.32101068574118	“ How dare you ask me so unnatural a question, sir?
njp.32101068574118	“ How dare you disgrace yourself? ”"I do not understand you, ” said Isabel, her heart beginning to beat unpleasantly.
njp.32101068574118	“ How dare you say so, Blanche?
njp.32101068574118	“ How dare you, fellow?
njp.32101068574118	“ How did Mr. Carlyle receive the news of her death?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How did it happen? ” “ Miss Isabel ran out, sir, in all the rain and wet, and I went after her to bring her back again.
njp.32101068574118	“ How did she see it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you become acquainted with Captain Thorn? ”"I met him at Swainson, ” šoggedly answered Afy.
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you become acquainted with a gentleman you often saw in those days — Captain Thorn? ” “ There! ” uttered the dismayed Afy.
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you come over her?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you find out where I was? ” she gasped, when some painful words had been uttered on both sides.
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you get on to- day with Sir Peter?
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you know it? ”"I had reason to think so. ” “ What reason?
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you know it? ”"I had reason to think so. ” “ What reason?
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you know that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How did you sleep, Richard?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How do you know I should not sell you all?
njp.32101068574118	“ How do you know he was a soldier?
njp.32101068574118	“ How do you know your papa said it?
njp.32101068574118	“ How do you propose to live?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How does William seem?
njp.32101068574118	“ How does he know the earl so well?
njp.32101068574118	“ How is Lady Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	“ How is it at the Grove?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How is it that we see so little of you now?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How long have you known of this?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How say you, gentlemen of the jury?
njp.32101068574118	“ How shall i repay you; how thank you for your love to my poor lost boy?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How should I know?
njp.32101068574118	“ How should I know? ” retorted Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	“ How should I know?"
njp.32101068574118	“ How was he dressed?
njp.32101068574118	“ How was it likely – in this disguise?
njp.32101068574118	“ How'on the wrong scent'?"
njp.32101068574118	“ However did you manage that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I beg your pardon, sir; will you let me ask if you have heard any particular news? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ I can answer for it that he is not abroad, but in England. ” “ And where are you going to lodge to- night?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I do n't say it does: he gave her that locket and chain she wears. ” “ Who wears?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I fear, justice, you bring these annoyances upon yourself. ” “ Bring them upon myself? ” ranted the indignant justice.
njp.32101068574118	“ I have told you that I never knew there was any Thorn mixed up with Afy, and I should like to know why my word is not to be believed?
njp.32101068574118	“ I hope you are not very tired after your journey? ” CHANGE AND CHANGE.
njp.32101068574118	“ I mean, what's up at the Hares, that Barbara should come here and be closeted with you?
njp.32101068574118	“ I never saw my father until I saw him dead. ” “ Were you not in the cottage all the time?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I never thought of such a thing as falling in love with Mr. Carlyle. ” “ Then do n't you love him?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I only add another to the list. ” “ But you can not keep her as a peer's daughter, I presume?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I said we should be sure to meet again: do you remember, Mr. Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	“ I say, Levison, was the first one as charming?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I suppose he wants me to clear him and start him afresh? ”* Something of the sort, I conclude."
njp.32101068574118	“ I told you I would do so. ” “ You will not betray me to- to- your wife?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I wish evening had come! ” “ Why do you wish that? ” “ Because Archibald would be at home."
njp.32101068574118	“ I wish it was over: and the fellow clear of the town. ” “ Do you mean that Levison?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I wonder how it will be? ” pondered he, aloud.
njp.32101068574118	“ I wonder if it snows still? ” he exclaimed to himself.
njp.32101068574118	“ I wonder if your papa would say it was foolish of me, if I told them to light a fire?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I wonder who's come bothering to- night?"
njp.32101068574118	“ I?
njp.32101068574118	“ If she had not come between us, should you have loved me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ If the man goes to his punishment, he goes; but I do not help him on his road thither. ” “ Can Dick be innocent?
njp.32101068574118	“ If they might only go, Archibald?
njp.32101068574118	“ In conjunction with Richard Hare? ” cried the astounded colonel, gazing from one to the other, prisoners and officers, in bewilderment.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is Joyce gone to bed?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is Madame Vine worse, Cornelia?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is Mr. Carlyle at home?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is Mrs. Carlyle alone? ” she asked in a subdued voice.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is Mrs. Carlyle within?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is any one ill?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he better?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he coming to- morrow? ” “ As it is Sunday, a free day, he will be sure to take advantage of it.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he nothing to you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he out of his mind? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he the man, think you, who used to ride over from Swainson to see Afy? ” Joyce's face flushed crimson.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he to be found? ” “ He is found.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is he? ” said Barbara, in surprise.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it a hoax, or is it not?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it any business of yours, young lady? ” “ Oh, not in the least,"answered Miss Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it any copying, sir, wanted to be done in a hurry?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it because I once married another?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it in his nature to be thus indifferent — thus matter of fact?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it not pretty?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it possible that transactions so infamous are permitted by our law? ” ejaculated the earl.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it quite sure that no stranger will come in?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it really necessary that I should leave the room; necessary for him?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it right that the innocent should suffer for the guilty? ” “ No.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it the same man?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it to Count Otto? ” asked the governess.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it true that Lady Isabel sings so well?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is it you, Barbara?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is my mother coming out to me? ” asked Richard, after a few inter- changed sentences with Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is my room prepared for me, do you know?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is not one regiment the same as another: they are all in the army, are n't they, sir?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is papa much worse? ” “ Oh yes, my lady: he was screaming shocking.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is she kind to the first children?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is she made of sugar, and would melt?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is she not a pretty baby?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is she not? ” cried Barbara, with quick concern.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is that decided?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is that invalid Brewster, or whatever his name is-- laid up at Castle Marling still? ” asked Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is that the way to let the parish know that they propose?
njp.32101068574118	“ Is that to be it? ” “ To be strangers, ” she replied, correcting him.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is that you, Miss Barbara? ” Barbara started as though she had been shot.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is the earl really in danger?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is the post in?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is the purchase- money paid over? ” inquired more than one.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is the time come to prove my boy's innocence??
njp.32101068574118	“ Is the time come to prove my boy's innocence??
njp.32101068574118	“ Is there any hope? ” “ Not the slightest, sir.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is there any news?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is there nothing left? ” 72 EAST LYNNE.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is there ought else I can do? ” asked the sister.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is there? ” was the faint answer.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is this a romance, Blanche, or a real history?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Is this all, Richard? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is what true, my dear? ” “ They are saying that Captain Levison has taken away mamma. ” Joyce fell back in her chair, with a scream.
njp.32101068574118	“ Is your papa at home, Lucy? ” cried the earl.
njp.32101068574118	“ Isabel, do you wish to take the children with you? ” “ Oh, I did so wish it! ” she replied, the hectic of hope lighting her pale cheeks.
njp.32101068574118	“ Isabel? ” “ Isabel! ” retorted Afy.
njp.32101068574118	“ It concerns myself alone. ” “ Sir, does it say she's dead?
njp.32101068574118	“ It is hard for him, Miss Barbara; if he is really innocent? » Barbara turned her streaming eyes upon her.
njp.32101068574118	“ It wo n't be so very long to wait, you know, will it, Madame Vine? ” “ For what, darling? ” “ Before they all come.
njp.32101068574118	“ It wo n't be so very long to wait, you know, will it, Madame Vine? ” “ For what, darling? ” “ Before they all come.
njp.32101068574118	“ It's not fair to look into a man's private letters, is it, Barbara? ” He laughed good- humouredly as he looked at Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ It- it- is never-- that old affair is never being reaped up again?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Joyce, is it true?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Joyce? ” he exclaimed in amazement, “ what ails you? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Joyce? ” he exclaimed in amazement, “ what ails you? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Justice, will you pardon me if I venture to give you my candid opinion? ” “ The fool at West Lynne: running into the very jaws of death.
njp.32101068574118	“ Lady Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	“ Leaving your creditors behind you? ” “ What else could I do?
njp.32101068574118	“ Leaving your creditors behind you? ” “ What else could I do?
njp.32101068574118	“ Let's see- how old is he now? ” “ He was born the last day of August."
njp.32101068574118	“ London?
njp.32101068574118	“ Ma'am”-turning suddenly upon Mrs. Mason—"are there no relatives in the house, no one who can exert influence over the young lady?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Mad?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Madame Vine, what is he to you?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Madame Vine, why are you looking like that at William? ” asked Lucy, who was watching.
njp.32101068574118	“ Madame Vine, ” cried she, presently, “ do n't you know that tea is ready? ” This caused Madame Vine to raise her eyes.
njp.32101068574118	“ Make me your member? ” cried he merrily.
njp.32101068574118	“ Mamma that was, you know. ” “ Did she go? ” cried Lady Isabel, full of emotion, and possessing a very faint idea of what she was saying.
njp.32101068574118	“ Mamma, are you ill?
njp.32101068574118	“ Mamma, shall I ring for the shutters to be closed?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Mamma, you have been talking these three weeks of buying the new dresses and other things that we require: why not do so to- day? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Mamma, ” shivered the child, before she stirred to obey, “ will Joyce die? ” “ No, dear; I hope not."
njp.32101068574118	“ May I go? ” He sat down and took her hand, shrinking from his task.
njp.32101068574118	“ May I inquire the nature of his ill conduct in the instance you mention?"
njp.32101068574118	“ May I read the letter, mamma? ” he demanded after a pause.
njp.32101068574118	“ May I read the letter?
njp.32101068574118	“ May we come in now, mamma?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Might she retire?
njp.32101068574118	“ Must the business be kept from me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ My children,"she whispered: “ how could I stay away from them?
njp.32101068574118	“ My darling, what ails you? ” “ I am tired, I think,"she gently answered;"and coming into the house again made me think of papa.
njp.32101068574118	“ My dear, how could you think of wishing anything so unlikely?
njp.32101068574118	“ My dear, why did you give me that mysterious look?
njp.32101068574118	“ No? ” “ The schoolroom is upstairs.
njp.32101068574118	“ Nor heard of? ” “ Nor heard of.
njp.32101068574118	“ Not go, papa? ” 4 Why, who is to take you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Not go, papa? ” 4 Why, who is to take you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Not show myself in this guise to Richard Hare?-whom I have whipped- when he was a child- ten times in a day I stand on cere- mony with him!
njp.32101068574118	“ Now — will you walk with me to the grove, or will you walk alone?
njp.32101068574118	“ Now, Cornelia, can you wonder that I do not speak to you of such things, when you meet them in this way?
njp.32101068574118	“ Now, is it likely that he would come to West Lynne? ” remon- strated Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Of all the servants in the neighbourhood, who should you suppose has come up after the place of nurse?
njp.32101068574118	“ Of course the disgrace is reflected on the children, and always will be; the shame of having a divorced mother-"“ Is she not dead?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Of whom do I speak?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Of whom do you speak, Isabel? ” “ Of Barbara Hare. ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Of whom do you speak? ” asked Mr. Carlyle, in a matter- of- fact tone, as if he were putting the most ordinary question.
njp.32101068574118	“ Of whom does she put you in mind?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh yes, I'm very well, but I am tired. ” “ Why do you lie down here? ” “ I like lying here.
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, Archibald, how can you doubt?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, Mr. Carlyle, why did you not tell me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, Mrs. Vane, what does it signify?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, is it you, Miss Barbara?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, is it you?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, papa, how can you fancy such things?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, papa, it is not that; ca n't you see it is not?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, papa, what will he do?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh, what would life be without him?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh- are you here, Madame Vine?
njp.32101068574118	“ Oh- how are you, Jiffin? ” cried Afy, loftily, pretending not to have seen him standing there.
njp.32101068574118	“ On the tramp? ” “ Tramp!-no."
njp.32101068574118	“ Or Lady Mount Severn? ” “ He asked for you, my lady. ” She took up the card.
njp.32101068574118	“ Papa, shall I stay at home with you? ” she gravely asked.
njp.32101068574118	“ Papa. ” “ What do you want?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Pardon me for bringing you out in this unceremonious manner. ” “ What state secrets have you to disclose?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Perhaps you will kindly give me until to- morrow morning to consider it?
njp.32101068574118	“ Perhaps you would like a wreath of embroidery round it, gold leaves and scarlet flowers, with a swansdown collar?
njp.32101068574118	“ Permit what? ” asked Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Point de gazette, Pierre?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Pray who is it that you have chosen?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Prospects?
njp.32101068574118	“ Return to East Lynne as its mistress? ” she repeated, in bewilderment.
njp.32101068574118	“ Richard, ” she suddenly exclaimed, “ why not tell the whole circum- stances to Archibald Carlyle?
njp.32101068574118	“ Ringlets and all?
njp.32101068574118	“ Scarcely: or why should he have come?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Seen him?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall I bring you up some more tea, mamma? ” “ No, my dear.
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall I do, papa? ” Lord Mount Severn raised his swollen eyelids and drew the clothes from his flushed face.
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall I make it, dear Mrs. Levison?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall you be away a week?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall you be home to tea, papa? ” inquired Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall you be very long, Archibald?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall you call on the Mount Severns this time? ” “ Yes, ” he answered.
njp.32101068574118	“ Shall you join us later in the evening? ” “ I believe I shall not be able to do so."
njp.32101068574118	“ She asked whether mamma was amongst that crowd in the white robes; whether she was gone up to heaven?
njp.32101068574118	“ She was a very lovely child. ” “ Did you know Lady Isabel as a child?"
njp.32101068574118	“ She's not married?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Should I know my own father?
njp.32101068574118	“ Should you like to sleep in my room?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Should you recognize him again, were you to see him? ” resumed Mr. Carlyle, awaking from his reverie.
njp.32101068574118	“ Sir, please, must not Miss Isabel go back to bed?".
njp.32101068574118	“ Sir, what is the news from Castle Marling?
njp.32101068574118	“ Slur? ” “ Slur, yes!
njp.32101068574118	“ Some tea? ” “ No, thank you,"replied she, remembering Miss Carlyle's answer.
njp.32101068574118	“ Subsequent to the murder, I presume?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Sure! ” returned Bethel;"why, what are you driving at now?
njp.32101068574118	“ Susanne,"she suddenly cried aloud, a ihought striking her:* it is never Sir Fran- it is not monsieur?
njp.32101068574118	“ Sır, ” she some- what abruptly added,"what is it that's the matter with Joyce? ” “ I do not know,"said Mr. Carlyle, becoming serious.
njp.32101068574118	“ Take it, Richard: it will warm you. ” “ I'd rather have it in some hot water, sir. ” “ But how am I to get hot water brought in?
njp.32101068574118	“ Terrified at what? ” he asked.
njp.32101068574118	“ Thank me for what?
njp.32101068574118	“ That may be, ” interrupted Lady Isabel, in an accent of impatience,"but why should he come to our house? ” “ I proposed it myself.
njp.32101068574118	“ That?
njp.32101068574118	“ The Major Thorn, alluded to by your father, is our old friend I presume? ” Barbara inclined her head.
njp.32101068574118	“ The covered walk?
njp.32101068574118	“ The girl was Afy Hallijohn. ” “ Afy — who? ” repeated Captain Thorn, opening his eyes, and fixing them on Mr. Carlyle's.
njp.32101068574118	“ The murder? ” “ The riding after Afy.'
njp.32101068574118	“ The other rumour: is it a correct one? ” “ What other rumour?"
njp.32101068574118	“ The other rumour: is it a correct one? ” “ What other rumour?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Then did you dream?-and could not forget it on awaking? ” “ I do sometimes dream strange things, especially in my feverish afternoon sleeps.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then did you dream?-and could not forget it on awaking? ” “ I do sometimes dream strange things, especially in my feverish afternoon sleeps.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then if you entertain them, you will not be able to come and meet Richard? ” “ Trust to me,"was all his answer, as he hurried on.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then what is to be done?
njp.32101068574118	“ Then where on earth is the money to come from, sir?
njp.32101068574118	“ Then who did commit that murder? ” “ Richard accuses one of the name of Thorn.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then who do you think did it, sir?
njp.32101068574118	“ Then who is taking it up?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Then why do you do it? ” Barbara was silent.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then why risk it?
njp.32101068574118	“ Then, if it's nothing, why were you closeted so long with Archi- bald?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Then, sir, who did do it? ” “ Afy's other lover.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then, what was his motive for shunning society, for never going out? ” interrupted Lady Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	“ Then, why has he kept away?
njp.32101068574118	“ Then- am I to understand that, when you called that day at my house, you carried no intention with you of proposing to Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	“ There's one or two who will come in, Mr. Archibald, who will see you: what am I to say? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ There's only one man amongst us fit to be our member. ” “ Who's that? ” cried the meeting.
njp.32101068574118	“ Thorn was with you!-at the moment of the murder?"
njp.32101068574118	“ To see me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ To the very utmost of my power. ” “ You will be ever kind to her, ever cherish her?"
njp.32101068574118	“ To what end?
njp.32101068574118	“ To what other end should I say this? ” went on Richard.
njp.32101068574118	“ To whom?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Two? ” growled Sir Francis.
njp.32101068574118	“ Walk, did you say, mamma?
njp.32101068574118	“ Was I mad?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Was he so fond of her? ” “ He worshipped the very ground she trod upon.
njp.32101068574118	“ Was his first wife, Isabel Vane, mad?
njp.32101068574118	“ Was it a very bad dream, mamma? ” “ Oh, child, yes.
njp.32101068574118	“ Was it real, Richard? ” “ It was.
njp.32101068574118	“ Was it touched by you after placing it there?
njp.32101068574118	“ Was it you who fired?'
njp.32101068574118	“ Was miladi out of her senses?
njp.32101068574118	“ Was not that Miss Hare?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Was papa there?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Was that what you thought of doing? ” returned Miss Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Was the man good- looking?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Was this your child?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Was your visit that evening made in secret? ” “ Partially so.
njp.32101068574118	“ We met one of the servants at the second stile but I went all the way. ” “ You have been intimate with the Hares? ”"Quite so.
njp.32101068574118	“ Well that he should see her? ” “ Go and request your master to come to me,"unequivocally repeated Miss Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ Well, Ebenezer, and how goes the world with you? ” cried Mr. Dill, by way of salutation.
njp.32101068574118	“ Well, Miss Corny, she spoke to me?
njp.32101068574118	“ Well, Richard, is it the same man? ” “ No, sir.
njp.32101068574118	“ Well, is she not a handsome girl?
njp.32101068574118	“ Well,"said the doctor, who was a little man with a bald head, “ and how fares it with my young patient?
njp.32101068574118	“ Well?
njp.32101068574118	“ Well? ” cried Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ Well? ” he questioned,"did you recognize him?
njp.32101068574118	“ Well? ” he questioned,"did you recognize him?
njp.32101068574118	“ Well? ” he said at length, in a gentle tone.
njp.32101068574118	“ Well? ” “ You know you always were the greatest natural that ever was let loose out of leading- strings."
njp.32101068574118	“ Wells, what are you talking about?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Were you a third in it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Were you aware that a contest for the membership is now going on at West Lynne? ” “ I saw it in the newspapers.
njp.32101068574118	“ Were you not at West Lynne some ten years ago?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Were you to go to England, you might not be back in time. ” “ In time for what? ” “ Oh, how can you ask?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Were you to go to England, you might not be back in time. ” “ In time for what? ” “ Oh, how can you ask?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What Thorn? ” asked Mr. Carlyle, suppressing all sign of incre- “ I do n't know: a friend of Afy's, he said.
njp.32101068574118	“ What a fine boy? ” exclaimed he, looking at the child.
njp.32101068574118	“ What about her? ” “ Why, I engaged her, for certain, up to Christmas, and of course I must pay her; unless I can find her another place.
njp.32101068574118	“ What are you doing? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ What are you standing there for, like a gander on one leg?
njp.32101068574118	“ What brought papa here at this moment? ” thought Barbara, whose face was crimson.
njp.32101068574118	“ What business?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What can I do for you?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What can I do?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What can any one do? ” “ I wish, I wish I could help you!
njp.32101068574118	“ What can be done? ” asked Barbara.
njp.32101068574118	“ What can be the matter with papa?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What can have brought you to this place? ” he inquired, taking a seat by her.
njp.32101068574118	“ What can that be for?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What can you have been doing to yourself, my darling? ” he uttered in delight, as he emerged from the custom- house and took her hands in his.
njp.32101068574118	“ What can you mean by'deserted'?
njp.32101068574118	“ What cared you for my feelings?
njp.32101068574118	“ What could you eat?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What deputation?".
njp.32101068574118	“ What desperate need have you of me, just now?
njp.32101068574118	“ What did Barbara Hare want?
njp.32101068574118	“ What did Lord Mount Severn do with the money?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What did he prowl for? ” Ebenezer James laughed.
njp.32101068574118	“ What did he say?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What did it cost?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What did she want?
njp.32101068574118	“ What did they die of? ” A hesitating pause.
njp.32101068574118	“ What did you say, Blanche?
njp.32101068574118	“ What did you say, sir?
njp.32101068574118	“ What did you say?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What did you want with me?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What did your papa answer? ” she breathed.
njp.32101068574118	“ What do you mean by your nonsense?
njp.32101068574118	“ What do you say to her?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What do you take me for?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What do you think about it, my darling?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What do you want? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ What do you want?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What else? ” retorted Sir Francis.
njp.32101068574118	“ What excuse can I make, should papa be at home again? ” Both were buried in their own reflections."
njp.32101068574118	“ What for?
njp.32101068574118	“ What good would that do you, Barbara, or the locket either? ” Her face fushed painfully: her heart beat.
njp.32101068574118	“ What has brought you to West Lynne again, Richard?
njp.32101068574118	“ What has he been doing to himself? ” Mr. Otway Bethel it was, just arrived from foreign parts in his travelling costume.
njp.32101068574118	“ What has he taken her for?-to kill her?
njp.32101068574118	“ What has he taken her for?-to kill her?
njp.32101068574118	“ What have I done?
njp.32101068574118	“ What have you been doing all day? ” he asked, as he drew her arm within his, and they walked on.
njp.32101068574118	“ What have you brought for Cornelia?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What have you done with the pieces? ” irascibly asked Mrs. Vane.
njp.32101068574118	“ What have you learned?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What have you named that young article there?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What in the name of fortune do you want?
njp.32101068574118	“ What is all this?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is dreadful? ” asked Lord Vane, looking up rom his breakfast.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is he doing on the floor? ” exclaimed Barbara, in her astonish- ment.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is her name?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it a sign of, Wells?'
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it that she wants with you so much, that Barbara Hare?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it you wish me to do?
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it, Cor- nelia? ” “ Ah!
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it, then? ” “ Then you have not heard it, sir!
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it?
njp.32101068574118	“ What is it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is she doing? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is that you are saying, Joyce? ” he asked, in a low tone.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the amount due to you? ” she inquired, as she unlocked it.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the impediment, Barbara? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the matter?
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the matter? ” he hastily asked.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the matter?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the matter?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the meaning of this, Isabel?
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the meaning of this? ” he demanded, in a tone of authority.
njp.32101068574118	“ What is the reason, then?
njp.32101068574118	“ What is this cursed report that's being whispered in the place?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What is your opinion, doctor?
njp.32101068574118	“ What men, my lady?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What must be our course with regard to Thorn? ” “ It is more than I can tell you, ” replied Mr. Carlyle.
njp.32101068574118	“ What mystery, sir?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What oath?
njp.32101068574118	“ What of her?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What on earth brings you up in this weather?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What on earth for?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What on earth's up? ” cried Miss Corny, pressing her nose flat against the pane, that she might see the better.
njp.32101068574118	“ What piece? ” asked Mrs. Hare.
njp.32101068574118	“ What regiment is he in?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What report? ” asked Mr. Carlyle, for the justice waited for an answer, and Mrs. Hare seemed unable to speak.
njp.32101068574118	“ What should Anne know about Richard?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What time, my lady? ” inquired the footman, as she alighted at Mrs. Jeafferson's.
njp.32101068574118	“ What ugly thing is that you have on?
njp.32101068574118	“ What was his name? ” cried curious William.
njp.32101068574118	“ What was that you were reading over with her? ” pursued the indefatigable Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	“ What was the price of the shawl?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What was the secret?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What were almost my last words to you?
njp.32101068574118	“ What will be done if he does not come?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What will become of poor Richard?
njp.32101068574118	“ What will she do for a home?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What will you have for breakfast? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ What will you take, Isabel?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What's my dinner to you? ” returned Miss Corny, in her wrath.
njp.32101068574118	“ What's she gone there for?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What's that for?
njp.32101068574118	“ What's that for? ” asked Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	“ What's that? ” A sound of talking and laughter in the hall.
njp.32101068574118	“ What's the matter, Dill? ” asked the latter.
njp.32101068574118	“ What's the time, I wonder? ” she exclaimed, by- and- by.
njp.32101068574118	“ What's this?
njp.32101068574118	“ What's this?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What's your name? ” cried he.
njp.32101068574118	“ What, in the name of wonder, did all those people want at the office?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What, is she here still?
njp.32101068574118	“ What, ma'am? ” exclaimed Joyce in bewilderment: “ what did you say my master was going to do?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What, ma'am? ” exclaimed Joyce in bewilderment: “ what did you say my master was going to do?"
njp.32101068574118	“ What?
njp.32101068574118	“ What? ” screamed Miss Corny.
njp.32101068574118	“ What? ” “ You forget yourself, when you mention that name to me."
njp.32101068574118	“ Whatever possessed you to do that?
njp.32101068574118	“ Whatever's up?"
njp.32101068574118	“ When can I see him? ” asked Richard eagerly."
njp.32101068574118	“ When did you return? ” “ Only now: by the eight o'clock train, which came in beyond its time, having dawdled unpardonably at the stations.
njp.32101068574118	“ When does the justice begin haymaking, Barbara? ” There was no reply; Barbara was trying to keep down her emotion.
njp.32101068574118	“ When such a blow was dealt him by a member of my family, could I do less than hasten to East Lynne to tender him my sympathies?
njp.32101068574118	“ When was this? ” “ It was the autumn that Hallijohn was killed.
njp.32101068574118	“ When will he come home? ” she murmured, as she leaned her head upon the gate.
njp.32101068574118	“ When you gave me the gold chain and locket a year ago-you remember? ” “ Yes.
njp.32101068574118	“ Whenever you like, Barbara. ” “ But can I not walk?
njp.32101068574118	“ Where did he ride from?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Where did you hail from last?
njp.32101068574118	“ Where does she want to be off to? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Where have you been hiding yourself? ” cried he.
njp.32101068574118	“ Where have you been?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Where is he going to take her?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Where is he now? ” “ Now!
njp.32101068574118	“ Where was Pierre? ” miladi asked.
njp.32101068574118	“ Where will she live?
njp.32101068574118	“ Where would be the drawbacks in this instance?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Where's Richard Hare?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Where's William Vane, papa? ” asked the boy.
njp.32101068574118	“ Where's mamma? ” “ Child, you'll catch your death of cold, ” said Joyce.
njp.32101068574118	“ Where's the good of your seeing the young lady?
njp.32101068574118	“ Where's the wine, Peter? ” The servant put out some port and sherry Mr. Carlyle drank a glass, and then proceeded to mix some wine and water.
njp.32101068574118	“ Where's who? ” asked she.
njp.32101068574118	“ Wherefore should you be inquiring this? ”.
njp.32101068574118	“ Which child is it that is ill?
njp.32101068574118	“ Which do you mean?
njp.32101068574118	“ Which dress, my lady? ” “ Joyce, what was that I heard you and Susan gossiping about at the door?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Which dress, my lady? ” “ Joyce, what was that I heard you and Susan gossiping about at the door?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Which night, Barbara?
njp.32101068574118	“ Which of the children is it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who and what are you? ” she asked under her breath.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who committed the murder, sir?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who has been staying at Castle Marling since I left? ” he asked sharply.

njp.32101068574118	“ Who is it? ” cried the earl, sharply, not perceiving the card the man was bringing.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who is it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who is that Miss Hare? ” he demanded in a cynical tone.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who is that on the sofa?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who is the other one? ” he continued.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who is this from?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who is to prove it?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who makes tea for you in general?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who or what is he? ” “ An officer in her Majesty's service, in John Herbert's regiment.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who says so?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who says the world is so sorrowful, Madame Vine?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who the deuce betrayed that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who told you there was fire? ” he demanded of Wilson.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who took you to see the pictures?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who was Thorn?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who was it that committed the murder?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who was it?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who was that other, that fine gentleman, who came after her? ” The colour: mantled in Joyce's cheeks, and she dropped her voice.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who will set it going?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who would be most punished by that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who'd shut out this bright moon?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who's Isabel? ” “ The eldest child, I mean; Miss Isabel Carlyle."
njp.32101068574118	“ Who's that?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who's that? ” called out she.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who's that?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who's to know?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who, but you, would so insult me, or take advan- tage of my momentarily unprotected condition?
njp.32101068574118	“ Who? ” repeated Lady Isabel in a sharp tone of consternation.
njp.32101068574118	“ Who?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Who?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Whom does he teach?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Why are we breakfasting at eight this morning? ” he inquired.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why are you here? ” she repeated.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why are you in such haste?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Why did I come? ” repeated he.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why did n't you put on pumps, and silk stockings, with clocks to them? ” He was glad to bow himself out.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why did you come now? ” she quietly rejoined.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why did you give baby my name — Isabel? ” “ Do you think I could have given it a prettier one?
njp.32101068574118	“ Why did you give baby my name — Isabel? ” “ Do you think I could have given it a prettier one?

njp.32101068574118	“ Why did you not put on your diamonds? ”"1-did- put on my diamonds, but I took them off again, ” stam- mered Isabel.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why did you seek me out?
njp.32101068574118	“ Why do n't you open it and see what she says?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Why do you call her Isabel?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Why do you cry? ” asked William.
njp.32101068574118	“ Why do you not like it?"
njp.32101068574118	“ Why do you wear glasses?

umn.31951001988802q	And he said, pointing to the locket: “ The schoolboy is Gilbert, is n’t he?
umn.31951001988802q	And how could he tell that, in taking it, in robbing Daubrecq of it, he was not committing an act of folly?

umn.31951001988802q	In a low voice, anxious- eyed, she asked: “ You did it on purpose, did you not?
umn.31951001988802q	In that case, why were they con- tent with taking the crystal stopper, instead of arresting him, Lupin?

umn.31951001988802q	It was one of the men from the box- oflice: “ Are you M. le Député Daubrecq, sir? ” he asked.
umn.31951001988802q	It was you who fired the shots, this morning? ” “ Come, monsieur le secrétaire- général, think!

umn.31951001988802q	It ’s a taste which I may have had as a nipper; but they ’ve made me lose it since. ” “ Who ’s they? ” Gilbert was silent.
umn.31951001988802q	It ’s for Gilbert ’s sake, is it not?

umn.31951001988802q	Lupin waited a little longer and asked, in a low voice: “ Can I begin? ” “ Yes, but be careful.
umn.31951001988802q	Lupin went on to ask: “ What was your husband ’s name?
umn.31951001988802q	Lupin went up to him: “ Are you looking for M. Nicole? ” “ Yes, M. Nicole and two gentlemen. ” “ From a lady? ” “ Yes, Mme.
umn.31951001988802q	Lupin went up to him: “ Are you looking for M. Nicole? ” “ Yes, M. Nicole and two gentlemen. ” “ From a lady? ” “ Yes, Mme.
umn.31951001988802q	M. Prasville?
umn.31951001988802q	Mastering his emotion, he said, in a casual tone: “ So it is there still?
umn.31951001988802q	Merely this. ” “ What is that? ” “ A little piece of ivory, which they picked up on the ground.
umn.31951001988802q	Mergy has taken poison. ” “ What!7 ’ Daubrecq gave a start and he continued, without concealing his distress: “ What ’s that you say?
umn.31951001988802q	Mergy lost her head? ” Lupin did not move.
umn.31951001988802q	Mergy off the scent, how was he to be caught again?
umn.31951001988802q	Mergy would most likely be dead. ” “ Oh, you think so? ” “ I am sure of it.

umn.31951001988802q	Nicole, I believe? ” “ Yes, ” he said.
umn.31951001988802q	No?
umn.31951001988802q	Not even Prasville?
umn.31951001988802q	Now what is one to make of that?
umn.31951001988802q	Oh, you ’re in a hurry?
umn.31951001988802q	On the other hand, how was Gilbert aware of the doings and mode of life of Dau — brecq the deputy?
umn.31951001988802q	Or per- haps you would rather wait for the more substantial meal which I have ordered? ” Clarisse made no reply.
umn.31951001988802q	Or was it the combination word of a safe?
umn.31951001988802q	Perhaps those letters do n’t exist? ” Prasville shrugged his shoulders: “ Yes, they exist.
umn.31951001988802q	Prasville began to lose patience: “ Come, what is it all about?
umn.31951001988802q	Rue Chateaubriand?
umn.31951001988802q	Seeing that Daubrecq did not flinch, he whispered: “ Ca n’t you speak?

umn.31951001988802q	Shall I go and call on them?

umn.31951001988802q	Six weeks later, I married Victorien. ” “ And Daubrecq? ” asked Lupin, interrupting her.
umn.31951001988802q	So you belong to the police too, Mr. Polonius?
umn.31951001988802q	So you know?
umn.31951001988802q	So you think that shots ca n’t beheard?
umn.31951001988802q	So you thought that, because I wear spectacles and eye- glasses, I was blind?
umn.31951001988802q	So, the mo- ment he meets a more or less serious adversary, the colossus falls to pieces?
umn.31951001988802q	Something that can be of use to us?
umn.31951001988802q	Speak, man! ” “ Daubrecq has disappeared. ” “ Eh?

umn.31951001988802q	That ’s so, Daubrecq, is it not?
umn.31951001988802q	That ’s the whole story. ” “ Have you the keys?
umn.31951001988802q	The awful fate?
umn.31951001988802q	The boy? ” “ I have him. ” “ Give him back. ” “ NoI!)
umn.31951001988802q	The governor must find a way to save the two of us. ” “ The governor? ” “ Yes, Arséne Lupin.
umn.31951001988802q	The great thing is to save Gilbert, is n’t it?
umn.31951001988802q	The huntsman brought him a bottle of wine, a glass and some food: “ How goes it, monsieur le député? ” he cried.
umn.31951001988802q	The motor drove away; and Lupin, taking the road to the lake with his two companions, replied: “ Why?
umn.31951001988802q	The porter rang at the same moment. ” “ Could she see the envelope? ” llYes.,, The conclusion was evident.
umn.31951001988802q	The president asked: “ And you, Gilbert? ” Tears streamed down the poor lad ’s cheeks and he stammered a few inarticulate sentences.
umn.31951001988802q	The reliquary?
umn.31951001988802q	The scaffold?
umn.31951001988802q	Then he stood still beside Clarisse and asked: “ When all is said, since the Enghien incident, you have not advanced a single step? ” “ Not one.
umn.31951001988802q	Then it ’s not a question of a paper?
umn.31951001988802q	Then what was it?
umn.31951001988802q	Then, what?
umn.31951001988802q	There ’s just one point that ruflles me: will he allow him- self to be convinced?
umn.31951001988802q	They ca n’t hit us here. ” “ Who would hit us? ” “ No one.
umn.31951001988802q	Through what intermediaries, through what subordi- nates?
umn.31951001988802q	To M. Nicole, I suppose, who sold you the list of the Twenty- seven?
umn.31951001988802q	To supply me with such food as I want. ” “ And next? ” “ Next?
umn.31951001988802q	To supply me with such food as I want. ” “ And next? ” “ Next?

umn.31951001988802q	Wait, ca n’t you, you brute?
umn.31951001988802q	Was Lupin to suppose that Gilbert had betrayed him and put the police on his tracks?
umn.31951001988802q	Was he able on this side to dispose of some safe retreat in which to imprison Daubrecq?
umn.31951001988802q	Was he to abandon the trail of the crystal stopper?
umn.31951001988802q	Was it a series of letters written somewhere: on a wall, on a paper, on a wooden panel, on the mount of a drawing, on an invoice?
umn.31951001988802q	Was it not madness to linger by his side, when every day carried away a little hope?
umn.31951001988802q	Was it the title of one of the books on the shelves, or a part of the title?
umn.31951001988802q	Was n’t I right to have my doubts? ” “ Look here, governor, I could n’t know that he would change his mind and come back to dinner.
umn.31951001988802q	Was she still thinking, as he had often seemed to feel, of going back to Daubrecq and paying him for Gilbert ’s life?
umn.31951001988802q	We shall meet in the next world, eh?
umn.31951001988802q	We will arrange to kidnap him. ” “ What next? ” said the Masher.
umn.31951001988802q	We ’ll kidnap the Daubrecq bird. ” And he continued, “ Besides, what do I risk?
umn.31951001988802q	Well, would you like me to tell you the real name of M. Nicole?
umn.31951001988802q	Were they associates of the marquis, compromised in the canal affair like himself?

umn.31951001988802q	What did the name refer to?

umn.31951001988802q	What do you mean? ” “ I mean that the letters are sold. ” “ Sold!

umn.31951001988802q	“ Who hurt him?
umn.31951001988802q	“ Whom the devil have I to do with? ” said Lupin to himself, while his heart thumped inside his chest.
umn.31951001988802q	“ Why do n’t you shout for help?
umn.31951001988802q	“ Why do n’t you speak?

uva.x000429691	... Who would know of it? ” “ Very well, ” he said,"from their point of view, they are quite right.
uva.x000429691	... Why delay these confidences and confessions, my dear Lupin?...
uva.x000429691	... Why did n't you? ” “ Why?
uva.x000429691	... Why did n't you? ” “ Why?
uva.x000429691	... Why did you save me?
uva.x000429691	... Why not this evening?
uva.x000429691	... Why not to- morrow?"
uva.x000429691	... Why, I might be the lowest of miscreants, I might be a murderer even... and still she would bow to me! ” “ Why?
uva.x000429691	... Why... why, Dugrival, what are you doing? ” With one bound, she flung herself upon her husband.
uva.x000429691	... Why?
uva.x000429691	... You do n't believe me?
uva.x000429691	... “ What proof?
uva.x000429691	..."He recognized his wife, Angélique: “ What's the matter? ” he asked.
uva.x000429691	..."Lupin was himself just hailing a taxi, when he changed his mind; and I heard him mutter: “ What's the good?
uva.x000429691	..."“ Did the real ring bear the date of your wedding?"
uva.x000429691	..."“ The mistakes in spelling? ”.
uva.x000429691	..."“ Well, then?
uva.x000429691	..."“ What do you swear? ” “ Nothing.
uva.x000429691	..."“ What then? ” “ What?
uva.x000429691	..."“ What then? ” “ What?
uva.x000429691	..."“ What, chief?

uva.x000429691	192 THE CONFESSIONS OF ARSÈNE LUPIN “ Well? ” “ She's asleep."
uva.x000429691	214 THE CONFESSIONS OF ARSÈNE LUPIN With what object?
uva.x000429691	234 THE CONFESSIONS OF ARSÈNE LUPIN ru But how could he forget it?
uva.x000429691	260 THE CONFESSIONS OF ARSÈNE LUPIN “ Ah, so that dear old d'Emboise is there? ” he chuckled.
uva.x000429691	92 in this street. ” “ One word more: had that old doctor been attend- ing him long?"
uva.x000429691	? ” “ Yes. ” “ Why?
uva.x000429691	? ” “ Yes. ” “ Why?
uva.x000429691	? ”.
uva.x000429691	?"

uva.x000429691	?"
uva.x000429691	A TRAGEDY IN THE FOREST 227 “ At the end. ” “ At the end, eh?
uva.x000429691	A contract?
uva.x000429691	A rescue?
uva.x000429691	After all, why conceal the fact?
uva.x000429691	All these heirs set to work. ”"But Charles himself? ” “ Charles lived in the most absolute retirement.
uva.x000429691	Am I right? ” “ Yes."
uva.x000429691	An accomplice?
uva.x000429691	An intimate friend? ” “ Yes."
uva.x000429691	And I added, a little chaf- fingly, in my turn, “ But do n't you think that you were humbugged a bit yourself, on this occa- sion?"
uva.x000429691	And by whom, pray? ” “ By the countess? ” “ In what way?"
uva.x000429691	And by whom, pray? ” “ By the countess? ” “ In what way?"
uva.x000429691	And by whom, pray? ” “ By the countess? ” “ In what way?"
uva.x000429691	And for no trifle either. ” “ For how much? ” “ Eight hundred thousand francs."
uva.x000429691	And he at once asked, with ill- concealed eagerness: “ Do you know anything?"
uva.x000429691	And he continued, “ Has the count a particularly intimate friend... in whom he confides? ”"No."
uva.x000429691	And he did. ” “ Then he had no suspicions? ” “ Of me, yes.
uva.x000429691	And he was quite surprised not to see him washing his hands there: “ Has he gone? ” he asked.
uva.x000429691	And here? ” “ None here, either.
uva.x000429691	And how you must have been put to it, when you ventured to move a limb, eh?
uva.x000429691	And is this the way you thank me?
uva.x000429691	And now, Lupin to the rescue?
uva.x000429691	And one of them at once cried:"There you are! ” “ What?"
uva.x000429691	And that is why Ganimard inspires me with no little gratitude and esteem. ” “ But not much admiration?"
uva.x000429691	And that is why I at once knew where to look. ” “ But how did you settle the hour at which to begin looking?"
uva.x000429691	And the count said to the man: “ You know what you have to do? ” “ Yes, ” said the workman.
uva.x000429691	And the eighteen diamonds were there all the time, under a little mud and dust! ” “ But how did you guess?..
uva.x000429691	And the jewels?
uva.x000429691	And the money she robbed me of? ”.
uva.x000429691	And then what had become of the murderer?
uva.x000429691	And they have let their prisoner escape?
uva.x000429691	And what about the way in which you solved the puzzle of the three pictures?"
uva.x000429691	And what is the result of that step? ” “ The result, monsieur le baron, is that your house is surrounded.
uva.x000429691	And why move that enormous stone, to finish off the victim, when a mere pebble would have done the work?
uva.x000429691	And why, having disappeared, did he return to the scene of the accident?
uva.x000429691	And yet, in spite of everything, he suddenly shows fight. ” “ What do you mean?"
uva.x000429691	And you'll nurse THE INFERNAL TRAP 113 him as well as you can, wo n't you?
uva.x000429691	And, above all, why had he brought them back?
uva.x000429691	And, as I know that you would just as soon clear up a mystery as plan one... “ Well? ” “ You seem in a great hurry!"
uva.x000429691	And, still worse, uncle, the scandal?
uva.x000429691	And, when he insisted, she cried:"Let me be, will you?
uva.x000429691	And, while I think of it, used M. Dugrival perhaps to...?"
uva.x000429691	Answer me, ca n't you?
uva.x000429691	Any news? ” asked the doctor, alarmed at seeing such a state of agitation in a man whose coolness he had had occasion to observe.
uva.x000429691	Are you operating, Angel Gabriel?
uva.x000429691	Are you ready?
uva.x000429691	As a matter of fact, she talks very little. ” “ Are you sure of your information? ”.
uva.x000429691	At the corner of the Rue Ray- nouard?
uva.x000429691	At the word of command, eh?
uva.x000429691	Because she loved you once? ” “ Rot!
uva.x000429691	Besides, his room looks out on the other front. ” “ And the servants? ”.
uva.x000429691	Besides, how could the baron have begun the fight, if he were not sure of escaping the police?
uva.x000429691	Besides, if it were Lupin, why should he take back the fifty thousand francs which he sent?
uva.x000429691	Besides, if the farmer- general had realized his fortune, do n't you think that that fortune would have been found?
uva.x000429691	Bragoff?
uva.x000429691	But Louise d'Ernemont said: “ And suppose he does not come? ”.
uva.x000429691	But Yvonne, suddenly seized with fresh alarm, asked: “ Then it's not true?
uva.x000429691	But do n't you know that they have taken him from me?
uva.x000429691	But he had no sooner placed his foot on the threshold than he stopped suddenly and exclaimed: “ What are you doing here, d'Emboise?
uva.x000429691	But how about drinking? ” “ Out of the question! ” shouted the farmer.
uva.x000429691	But how on earth did you manage to pull off that trick?
uva.x000429691	But look, my friend, is n't it cleverly made?
uva.x000429691	But then the pneumatic letter?...
uva.x000429691	But this is an unlikely supposition, for Citizen Broquet died in extreme poverty. ” “ So then....?"
uva.x000429691	But was there not in the family some person who would be interested in their re- moval?
uva.x000429691	But what are you doing?
uva.x000429691	But what can I say?
uva.x000429691	But what could I do?
uva.x000429691	But what could she do against so many?
uva.x000429691	But what other end could there be? ” “ Come... you're joking..."“ Not at all.
uva.x000429691	But what was the good?
uva.x000429691	But where are you going sir? ” “ I'm going up, show me the way, ” said Lupin, with his foot on the stairs.
uva.x000429691	But who was to prove that the car had followed that particular road on the previous night?
uva.x000429691	But why did you save me?
uva.x000429691	But, I say, you have n't killed the scoundrel, have you? ”"I do n't think so, aunt.
uva.x000429691	But, at once conquered by the queerness of the situation, he burst out laugh- ing: “ What?
uva.x000429691	By what?
uva.x000429691	By whom?"
uva.x000429691	Come now, speaking frankly, what do you think of it yourself? ”.
uva.x000429691	Dad! ” “ What?
uva.x000429691	Dar- cieux will be murdered before the night is out. ” “ Eh?
uva.x000429691	Darcieux, who was her mother's natural heiress?
uva.x000429691	Did I penetrate the mystery of the scarf?
uva.x000429691	Did I understand the business?
uva.x000429691	Did n't you see?...
uva.x000429691	Did no one ever come forward to solve the problem? ”.
uva.x000429691	Did the murderer use it?
uva.x000429691	Did you notice one detail in the maid's evidence?
uva.x000429691	Did you return unknown to your aunt?
uva.x000429691	Do n't my friends on board ship burn my letters?
uva.x000429691	Do n't you want something to eat first? ” “ No... no.... ” “ Then I will go and fetch my mother. ” He turned to Yvonne's bedroom.
uva.x000429691	Do you begin to realize the position? ” “ Yes."
uva.x000429691	Do you call that unin- teresting?
uva.x000429691	Do you follow me, chief? ” M. Dudouis sat silent.
uva.x000429691	Do you follow me?
uva.x000429691	Do you hear?
uva.x000429691	Do you know the Edith Swan- neck story, as it was called? ”"I know as much as everybody knows."
uva.x000429691	Do you know the scoundrel? ” “ Yes, we've got him locked up.
uva.x000429691	Do you mean to say that you can make head or tail of what is going on? ” He did not reply.
uva.x000429691	Do you suspect any one?"
uva.x000429691	Do you swear?"
uva.x000429691	Do you think that I am a burglar in her eyes, a rogue, a cheat?
uva.x000429691	Does n't the name remind you of anything?"
uva.x000429691	Dugrival gasped, in dismay: “ What is it?
uva.x000429691	Dugrival? ” he asked, taking off his hat.
uva.x000429691	Exhausted with fever and pain, what could he do in the twenty minutes or so that were left to him before Ganimard's arrival?
uva.x000429691	Find you?
uva.x000429691	Foreseen from alpha to omega?
uva.x000429691	Four? ” He went on thinking, while talking and listening to the noise outside.
uva.x000429691	Had he made a mistake?
uva.x000429691	Have n't you seen it?
uva.x000429691	Have n't you washed yourself all this month, you old pig?
uva.x000429691	Have you any objection?"
uva.x000429691	Have you something in your head?
uva.x000429691	Have you the other? ” “ Here it is.
uva.x000429691	Have you the scarf? ” “ Yes, half of it.
uva.x000429691	He asked:"Are you sure of your facts? ” “ I spent my day in the town- halls of the Paris municipalities.
uva.x000429691	He brought him his food every evening. ” “ Consequently, he could go near him without being bitten?"
uva.x000429691	He came home the next day with a temperature and took to his bed. ” “ But he gets up, surely?"
uva.x000429691	He caught me by the arm and, fiercely: “ Do you think that I am Lupin to her?
uva.x000429691	He clutched his nephew's hands and said to him, fiercely, despairingly: “ It's Lupin, is it not? ” “ Yes, uncle."
uva.x000429691	He did not leave his room. ” “ Never? ” “ Well, that is the most extraordinary, the most astounding part of the story.
uva.x000429691	He gained a little strength and jested: “ When will the convalescent be allowed his first drive?
uva.x000429691	He raised his head and said, “ It's an interesting story,... Why did you wait before telling me?"
uva.x000429691	He said, with a bow: “ I beg your pardon, madame, but I did not receive your letter until very late. ”"Is it possible?
uva.x000429691	He seemed greatly surprised: “ Did I not promise to come in answer to your call?"
uva.x000429691	He threw his arms round the doctor, who choked out:"Did n't you see?
uva.x000429691	He took my key from me. ” “ Who did? ” “ The doctor.
uva.x000429691	He walked up to Lupin and asked, without abandoning his imper- turbable coolness: “ Who are you? ” Lupin burst out laughing.
uva.x000429691	He was in a confidential vein and answered:"The business of the eighteen diamonds?
uva.x000429691	Here, one of his fellow- inspectors said: “ Seen the chief? ” “ No."
uva.x000429691	His son Charles was forgotten in prison and their property was confiscated. ” “ The property was immense, I suppose? ” said Lupin.
uva.x000429691	His son THE SIGN OF THE SHADOW 81 Charles, although only eighteen years of age, was arrested also. ” “ When did this happen? ” asked Lupin.
uva.x000429691	How can Sparmiento have been Lupin's accomplice?".
uva.x000429691	How can you think of carrying such a sum about with you?
uva.x000429691	How could she escape?
uva.x000429691	How could the Comtesse d'Origny possibly believe her innocent?
uva.x000429691	How did he disappear?
uva.x000429691	How does the business strike you?'
uva.x000429691	How had it been righted, instead of smashing into that bank?
uva.x000429691	How had the mur- derer managed to bring back those goggles unseen by the detectives?
uva.x000429691	How many letters are there in the word?
uva.x000429691	How much do you want for your- self?
uva.x000429691	How much?
uva.x000429691	How was he to get hold of it?
uva.x000429691	How was it that the car had not bumped against that tree?
uva.x000429691	I hope I have n't stung you up too much, Trainard?"
uva.x000429691	I look after his flat. ” “ And can we see him? ” “ See him?
uva.x000429691	I look after his flat. ” “ And can we see him? ” “ See him?
uva.x000429691	I ought to have waited for you to come and take me in charge?
uva.x000429691	I put the four letters together and got'Etna,'the name of the famous horse. ” “ And was that one word enough? ” “ Of course!
uva.x000429691	I rely on you, Ganimard. ” “ Ah, you rely on me, chief? ” replied the in- spector.
uva.x000429691	I remember seeing the parcel. ” “ Well? ” “ They are there still. ” “ Impossible! ” “ They are, upon my word!
uva.x000429691	I resumed: “ What made you tell me this story... to which you have often alluded in my presence? ”.
uva.x000429691	I said: “ Well? ” “ Well what?"
uva.x000429691	I said: “ Well? ” “ Well what?"
uva.x000429691	I swear to you, the fellow looked a thoroughly honest man! ” “ But what about the millions?"
uva.x000429691	I thought..."“ You thought what?
uva.x000429691	I was astounded that no one had thought of that. ” “ Then the figure 2 stood for two o'clock? ” “ Evidently.
uva.x000429691	I “ What can it matter who I am?
uva.x000429691	I'm holding you too tight, perhaps?
uva.x000429691	In the safe?
uva.x000429691	In those hundred years, all these people who have succeeded one another, from father to son, have lost – what shall I say?
uva.x000429691	In twelve minutes?
uva.x000429691	In twenty minutes, you say?
uva.x000429691	In what part of the orchard have you hidden it? ”"The money? ” repeated the tramp with a stupid look.
uva.x000429691	In what part of the orchard have you hidden it? ”"The money? ” repeated the tramp with a stupid look.
uva.x000429691	Is Hyacinthe an accomplice?"
uva.x000429691	Is it a bargain?
uva.x000429691	Is it a bargain? ” A quick movement.
uva.x000429691	Is it a bargain?"
uva.x000429691	Is n't it silly?...
uva.x000429691	Is n't that enough for you?
uva.x000429691	Is that it?
uva.x000429691	Is that settled? ” The rest of the day passed without incident.
uva.x000429691	Is the bath- chair there?
uva.x000429691	Is the taxi there?
uva.x000429691	Is the window open in your dressing- room?"
uva.x000429691	It's my secretary's fault. ” “ Your secretary? ” “ Yes, the invitations were only a rough draft which I meant to submit to you.
uva.x000429691	Jeanne turned pale and her pretty features were distorted with terror: “ But who can bear me such a grudge? ” she gasped.

uva.x000429691	LUPIN'S MARRIAGE 261 “ Where are you going? ” she cried, flinging herself in front of the door.
uva.x000429691	Lepetit?
uva.x000429691	Lupin caught up his hat: “ Are you coming? ”.
uva.x000429691	Lupin looked at me and burst into uncontrollable laughter: “ So you have n't heard?
uva.x000429691	Lupin seemed greatly distressed and, in an affectionate voice::"Are you vexed?
uva.x000429691	M. Dudouis sat thinking and then asked: “ So... you believe...?"
uva.x000429691	M. Lavernoux had a friend living in this street, had he not?
uva.x000429691	May I come to you here, when I return?"
uva.x000429691	Maître Valandier, informed by them of my arrival, hastened in my direction: “ Well? ” he cried.
uva.x000429691	My conditions?
uva.x000429691	My lord's at his last gasp?
uva.x000429691	Needs must, eh?
uva.x000429691	No?
uva.x000429691	Now do you understand your folly?"
uva.x000429691	On the same side, to the right?
uva.x000429691	Once the beast is killed, you and I will bury it in some corner, unseen and un- known. ” “ And Angélique? ” “ We will tell her later."
uva.x000429691	One could manage to hide a paper, a document, in a confined space like that, but not treasures. ”"Still, the pictures?
uva.x000429691	One of the servants?
uva.x000429691	Other- wise, the beast would tear us to pieces with its claws. ” “ What do you mean? ”.
uva.x000429691	Our doctor, old Dr. Guéroult, forbade me to cause him the least excitement. ” “ Your mother?
uva.x000429691	Outside, in the street, I cried: “ So you have hit upon something?"
uva.x000429691	Pass me the weapon. ” Gabriel handed her the revolver and the widow continued:"Have you burnt our papers? ” “ Yes."
uva.x000429691	Perhaps you do n't recognize me?
uva.x000429691	Prévailles, I believe? ” “ Yes, but who are you? ” “ I have a commission to..."He had not time to finish his sentence.
uva.x000429691	Prévailles, I believe? ” “ Yes, but who are you? ” “ I have a commission to..."He had not time to finish his sentence.
uva.x000429691	SHADOWED BY DEATH 193 “ What's to be done? ” “ Watch, doctor.
uva.x000429691	Shall I tell you what I think?
uva.x000429691	So I came upstairs. ” He looked at Ganimard with a quizzing smile and cried: “?
uva.x000429691	So I said to myself, “ Suppose I handed the business over to my dear old Ganimard?
uva.x000429691	So what could I do? ” And, pretending to reply to an objection, “ No, no, old chap, ” he continued.
uva.x000429691	So what was the good?
uva.x000429691	So you see..."“ Then do you suppose a servant?
uva.x000429691	So your husband wished to marry another woman?
uva.x000429691	Sparmiento had the money? ”"She got a hundred and fifty thousand francs yesterday and two hundred thousand to- day, while I was away.
uva.x000429691	Still fuming, he took down the receiver and growled: “ Well?
uva.x000429691	THE WEDDING- RING 57 “ Your mother is here?"
uva.x000429691	Ten thousand?
uva.x000429691	The Com- tesse d'Origny would only yield in case..."“ In case...? ”.
uva.x000429691	The Comte d'Origny, I presume?...
uva.x000429691	The Dugrival business, I suppose?
uva.x000429691	The chief asked: “ Who is that woman?"
uva.x000429691	The exam- ining- magistrate?
uva.x000429691	The lawyer gave a start: “ Eh?
uva.x000429691	The poor gentleman is very ill."“ Iu? ” “ He's been ill a fortnight... ever since the trouble with the baroness.
uva.x000429691	The proof is con- clusive. ” “ But, hang it all, the proof of what? ” cried Farmer Goussot, irritably.
uva.x000429691	The servants?
uva.x000429691	The voice of your future son- in- law?"
uva.x000429691	The widow gave a srtident laugh: “ Well played, was n't it?
uva.x000429691	The widow leant forward and said:"Are you prepared to answer my questions? ” “ Why not? ” “ Then listen to me.
uva.x000429691	The widow leant forward and said:"Are you prepared to answer my questions? ” “ Why not? ” “ Then listen to me.

umn.31951002025146w	Are n’t you afraid to trust yourself with her? ” “ No, no, that's all right.
umn.31951002025146w	Are you all right, Tuppence? ” “ Of course I am.
umn.31951002025146w	Are you going up now, miss?
umn.31951002025146w	As she did so, she heard Boris say:- “ New, is n’t she? ” “ She came in to- day.
umn.31951002025146w	As to salary, shall we say at the rate of three hundred a year?
umn.31951002025146w	Because I know some- thing that puts me in a position to propose a bargain. ” “ A bargain? ” The bearded man took him up sharply.
umn.31951002025146w	Before, or after? ” “ Let me see — oh yes, afterwards.
umn.31951002025146w	Beresford? ” “ My partner, ” said Tuppence with dignity.
umn.31951002025146w	Breakfast? ” The girl nodded.
umn.31951002025146w	Brought a telephone message to the man Whittington, did he?
umn.31951002025146w	Brown. ’ ” “ What?
umn.31951002025146w	Brown. ” There was a steely ring in Whittington's voice as he replied: “ Who knows?
umn.31951002025146w	Brown? ” Tuppence caught herself nervously looking over her shoulder.
umn.31951002025146w	Brown? ” hazarded Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	Brown? ” he said.
umn.31951002025146w	But I do n’t think we ought to leave the flat. ” “ What about leaving that bright boy of yours on guard? ”- “ Albert?
umn.31951002025146w	But I do n’t think we ought to leave the flat. ” “ What about leaving that bright boy of yours on guard? ”- “ Albert?
umn.31951002025146w	But I should like to know if you are acquainted with a Mrs. Wandemeyer? ” “ Mrs.
umn.31951002025146w	But I ’ve a very good idea where she has been. ” “ You have?
umn.31951002025146w	But do n’t give up hope. ” “ And you really will help us?
umn.31951002025146w	But do you know what I think it is? ” “ What? ” “ A sport! ” “ And a damned good sport too, ” said Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	But do you know what I think it is? ” “ What? ” “ A sport! ” “ And a damned good sport too, ” said Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	But do you think as they ’ve done her in, Sir? ” “ I hope not.
umn.31951002025146w	But it was a hint, was n’t it? ” “ Well, perhaps it was, ” admitted Sir James gravely.
umn.31951002025146w	But it ’s for us to get busy and do something. ” “ What can we do? ” asked Tuppence, her spirits rising.
umn.31951002025146w	But just how did you strike her trail?
umn.31951002025146w	But she ’s a stun- ner to look at, ai n’t she? ” “ She ’s some peach, ” allowed Tuppence carelessly.
umn.31951002025146w	But the great point is, is there a ‘ Rita ’ on the list? ” “ That ’s just what I do n’t know, ” confessed Tup- pence.
umn.31951002025146w	But there it is, she can tell you nothing. ” “ But why, man?
umn.31951002025146w	But what about you?
umn.31951002025146w	But what can have happened?
umn.31951002025146w	But what have you been do- ing?
umn.31951002025146w	But why?
umn.31951002025146w	But would they reach him?
umn.31951002025146w	But you know where it is???
umn.31951002025146w	But you know where it is???
umn.31951002025146w	But you know where it is???
umn.31951002025146w	But, say, ca n’t you shed that British calm of yours, and get down to it?
umn.31951002025146w	By the way, the house was raided, of course? ” “ Yes, sir, but they ’d all cleared out. ” “ Naturally, ” said Sir James dryly.
umn.31951002025146w	By the way, what ’s your name? ” “ Prudence Cooper, ma’am. ” “ Very well, Prudence.
umn.31951002025146w	By the way, where did Mr. Hersheimmer come in originally?
umn.31951002025146w	By the way, you are an American, are you not?'
umn.31951002025146w	By the way, you ’ve not had a young lady here asking for this key to- day? ” The woman shook her head.
umn.31951002025146w	Can you describe him at all? ” “ I really did n’t notice.
umn.31951002025146w	Can you get there by then? ” The reply was reassuring.
umn.31951002025146w	Carter? ’ ” Tommy murmured a name in her ear.
umn.31951002025146w	Come along. ” “ Is this a new brand of humour?
umn.31951002025146w	Come now, that ’s the great thing? ” “ Sure it is.
umn.31951002025146w	Come on below. ” “ Are you sure I can get all the things I want there? ” “ That extremely unwholesome menu you were out- lining just now?
umn.31951002025146w	Come on below. ” “ Are you sure I can get all the things I want there? ” “ That extremely unwholesome menu you were out- lining just now?
umn.31951002025146w	Come on, we ’d better take a taxi. ” “ Now who's being extravagant? ” “ All expenses paid, remember.
umn.31951002025146w	Conrad, what is it? ” Tommy felt a small hand thrust into his.
umn.31951002025146w	Contempt of court, or something British?
umn.31951002025146w	Could he, bound as he was, manage to cut his bonds?
umn.31951002025146w	Darn it all, why? ” The little man shifted his benevolent glance to the excited young American.
umn.31951002025146w	Did Danvers give you the papers? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002025146w	Did I think she was alive?
umn.31951002025146w	Did Mrs. Wandemeyer suspect her?
umn.31951002025146w	Did he not choose it for that reason?
umn.31951002025146w	Did n’t I tell you that?
umn.31951002025146w	Did n’t he tell you? ” “ I have n’t seen him either, ” replied Tuppence im- patiently.
umn.31951002025146w	Did she go to the police? ” Mr. Carter shook his head.
umn.31951002025146w	Did they know of any relatives?
umn.31951002025146w	Did you mean to warn me against Mrs. Vandemeyer?
umn.31951002025146w	Did you really?
umn.31951002025146w	Did you say refuses? ” “ Sure thing.
umn.31951002025146w	Do n’t they, old thing? ” “ I do n’t know what you mean, ” said Julius stiffly, but a large and burning blush overspread his countenance.
umn.31951002025146w	Do n’t you remember, I said yesterday I ’d overheard two people talking about a female called Jane Finn?
umn.31951002025146w	Do n’t you remember?
umn.31951002025146w	Do n’t you? ” “ We advertised to receive information, not to give it, ” said Tuppence severely.
umn.31951002025146w	Do you fancy that you can de- ceive him? ” Mrs. Vandemeyer ’s eyes narrowed.
umn.31951002025146w	Do you know what I say to myself sometimes?
umn.31951002025146w	Do you know what this is? ” With a drama- tic gesture she flung back the left side of her coat and exposed a small enamelled badge.
umn.31951002025146w	Do you re- member? ” Tommy chuckled.
umn.31951002025146w	Do you really think I want a hue and cry for murder out after me?
umn.31951002025146w	Do you reckon there was a dictophone in Jane ’s room?
umn.31951002025146w	Do you remember what the young lady did with the telegram? ” Henry gasped and spoke.
umn.31951002025146w	Do you think I do n’t know?
umn.31951002025146w	Do you think you can go half- way, and then swing yourself down behind the ladder, so that they will not see you? ” Tommy nodded.
umn.31951002025146w	Do you want to say how much? ” “ Not exactly.
umn.31951002025146w	Drop me in the park, will you?
umn.31951002025146w	Ever heard of the word ‘ graft, sir?
umn.31951002025146w	Expenses paid, and a moderate screw? ” Tuppence gazed at him, her lips parted, her eyes growing wider and wider.
umn.31951002025146w	Find Jane Finn. ” “ Yes, but — who is Jane Finn? ” Mr. Carter nodded gravely.
umn.31951002025146w	For how long? ” “ That depends.
umn.31951002025146w	Fur lined?
umn.31951002025146w	George! ” “ Yes, sir? ” The chauffeur turned his head.
umn.31951002025146w	Going away, sir? ” “ I ’m going to the devil, ” said Tommy, regardless of the menial ’s feelings.
umn.31951002025146w	Good old hospital — demobbed like everything else, I suppose? ” Tuppence sighed.
umn.31951002025146w	Good place here? ” “ Very good, thank you, sir. ” “ Ah, but there are plenty of good places nowadays.
umn.31951002025146w	Got it with you? ” “ It ’s upstairs, sir, in my kit. ” “ I ’d like to have a look at it sometime.
umn.31951002025146w	Grab it?
umn.31951002025146w	Granted I do know who you mean — what of it? ” “ You will tell me now — right here — where she is to be found. ” Kramenin shook his head.
umn.31951002025146w	Had any one seen a car standing somewhere near the Moat House that day?
umn.31951002025146w	Had he been fooled once more?
umn.31951002025146w	Had he meant to warn her that day?
umn.31951002025146w	Had he said anything to give himself away?
umn.31951002025146w	Had n’t you better wait until to- morrow? ” “ That ’s all right.
umn.31951002025146w	Had she not lamented the fact that she knew no rich men?
umn.31951002025146w	Had she not openly avowed her intention of marrying for money if she ever had the chance?
umn.31951002025146w	Had she not refused Julius without hesitation?
umn.31951002025146w	Had she run upstairs again?
umn.31951002025146w	Had the man seen through him?
umn.31951002025146w	Has she been wearing any of the emeralds, by the way? ” “ Emeralds?
umn.31951002025146w	Has she been wearing any of the emeralds, by the way? ” “ Emeralds?
umn.31951002025146w	Have n’t you seen trains in collision on the screen?
umn.31951002025146w	Have you any tips to give us before we clear out? ” “ I think not.
umn.31951002025146w	Have you got him? ” “ We have seen no one, ” said the German sharply.
umn.31951002025146w	Have you here now, or have you had here at any time, a young girl called Jane Finn? ” He repeated the name thoughtfully.
umn.31951002025146w	Have you the nerve to go through with it? ” The girl smiled.
umn.31951002025146w	He asked me to col- lect any information on the subject I could. ” “ Well? ” Carter shrugged his shoulders.
umn.31951002025146w	He is here? ” The change in the German ’s voice was audible as he replied with slight hesitation: “ We have received a message.
umn.31951002025146w	He leaned forward and hissed savagely: “ So that ’s your little game, is it? ” Tuppence, though utterly taken aback, nevertheless kept her head.
umn.31951002025146w	He understood that Mrs. Wande- meyer was on the eve of departure for abroad, and that the servants had already left?
umn.31951002025146w	He was never identified. ” “ And you fancy that the two matters are connected in some way? ” “ Somehow I do.
umn.31951002025146w	He was quite a young general! ” “ What blighter was that? ” inquired Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	His spies are everywhere. ” “ A naturalized German? ” asked Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	Holding up a bank? ” “ All in good time.
umn.31951002025146w	Holyhead?
umn.31951002025146w	How about the Savoy? ” Tommy grinned.
umn.31951002025146w	How are you going to keep the game up? ” “ Oh! ” Tuppence laid down her spoon.
umn.31951002025146w	How can you hope to make a suc- cess of any job if you do n’t use your brains? ” “ You will tell us who has betrayed us, ” said the Ger- man.
umn.31951002025146w	How could he know, even? ” “ You forget your own suggestion of a dictaphone, ” said Sir James dryly.
umn.31951002025146w	How dared he think that he had discovered what so many wiser and clever men had overlooked?
umn.31951002025146w	How did I get hold of that?
umn.31951002025146w	How did I get into this place?
umn.31951002025146w	How did I know?
umn.31951002025146w	How did he get ahead of us?
umn.31951002025146w	How do we know what is at the bottom of his sudden interest in you?
umn.31951002025146w	How had Sir James managed to track the girl?
umn.31951002025146w	How much do you know?
umn.31951002025146w	How should I know?
umn.31951002025146w	How was I to know? ” “ Yes, ” Tommy chimed in.
umn.31951002025146w	How would they decide?
umn.31951002025146w	How would you like to work for me?
umn.31951002025146w	How ’s that for clever little Tuppence? ” “ Full marks for industry, zero for modesty.
umn.31951002025146w	How ’s that for the bare outline? ” Dr. Hall looked at Julius.
umn.31951002025146w	How ’s that? ” “ I do n’t see that it matters anyway, ” said Tommy wearily.
umn.31951002025146w	How ’s that? ” “ Splendid, but he might n’t come for weeks. ” “ We ’ll have to chance that.
umn.31951002025146w	I am taking no chances. ” “ You do n’t think”—the Prime Minister hesitated a minute—“that it would be better to open it now?
umn.31951002025146w	I ca n’t make any one hear. ” “ That ’s odd. ” “ Is n’t it?
umn.31951002025146w	I can- not see any way in which I can be worth that amount of money to you. ” “ No? ” said Whittington softly.
umn.31951002025146w	I dare say it relieves your feelings a good deal to plan out all sorts of dreadful things to do to me, but is that practical?
umn.31951002025146w	I do n’t feel anything — no — say, what ’s this?
umn.31951002025146w	I do n’t see how he got in and out. ” “ How about some high- class thought transference stunt?
umn.31951002025146w	I do n’t want to go back, but — oh, Tommy, what else is there to do? ” Tommy shook his head sadly.
umn.31951002025146w	I guess we ’d have had a solemn requiem for you in another few days. ” “ Who thought I was dead? ” demanded Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	I have a theory 99 “ Pah p?
umn.31951002025146w	I shall have to go home! ” “ Do n’t you want to? ” “ Of course I do n’t want to.
umn.31951002025146w	I should never have thought of that. ” “ Good wheeze, was n’t it?
umn.31951002025146w	I suppose we might call her that? ” “ Taking her tea seems a kind of anti- climax to last night, ” said Julius thoughtfully.
umn.31951002025146w	I thought that was distinctly under- stood? ” “ It was, sir.
umn.31951002025146w	I was with her two years. ” “ And then you thought you would get more money by coming to London, I suppose?
umn.31951002025146w	I ’d like to know you. ’ ” “ Do you suggest that I should do that to a similarly garbed female? ” “ Do n’t be silly.
umn.31951002025146w	I ’m listening. ” “ To begin with, ” said Tuppence, “ what have we to go upon? ” “ Absolutely nothing, ” said Tommy cheerily.
umn.31951002025146w	I ’ve thought it well over 92 “ Yes? ” said Julius.
umn.31951002025146w	I'm afraid something ’s hap- pened to him, through your pal Boris. ” “ What ’s his name? ” “ Tommy Beresford. ” “ Never heard of him.
umn.31951002025146w	I00 THE SECRET ADVERSARY him?
umn.31951002025146w	If he did not, should he risk trying to make an ally of her?
umn.31951002025146w	If so, why?
umn.31951002025146w	If they do not declare a general strike on the 29th 33 “ Why should they not? ” “ As you ’ve said, they ’re honest.
umn.31951002025146w	In any case what do you lose?
umn.31951002025146w	Inspector Brown? ” “ Ah! ” said Sir James thoughtfully.
umn.31951002025146w	Is Tuppence found? ” Julius shook his head.
umn.31951002025146w	Is he likely to come again? ” “ He might.
umn.31951002025146w	Is he —? ” “ Of course he is.
umn.31951002025146w	Is it a bargain? ” 182 THE SECRET ADVERSARY “ And if we refuse? ” said the German quietly.
umn.31951002025146w	Is it a bargain? ” 182 THE SECRET ADVERSARY “ And if we refuse? ” said the German quietly.
umn.31951002025146w	Is it only chance? ” “ But how 99 “ Yes, how!
umn.31951002025146w	Is that clear? ” “ Quite clear. ” “ Then be ready — I’m going to say good- bye. ” He took her hand in his.
umn.31951002025146w	Is that it, eh? ” He was cooling down.
umn.31951002025146w	Is that right? ” “ Perhaps that will be the best plan.
umn.31951002025146w	Is that so? ” The girl hesitated, her glance shifting to the other two.
umn.31951002025146w	Is that so? ” Tuppence nodded.
umn.31951002025146w	Is the young lady not with her aunt, after all? ” Tuppence shook her head.
umn.31951002025146w	It does not permit me to work before 11 a.m. ” “ Tommy, do you want something thrown at you?
umn.31951002025146w	It is not in your possession?
umn.31951002025146w	It must have been last Wednesday — why, surely — yes, it was the same evening that you — er — fell out of my tree. ” “ That evening?
umn.31951002025146w	It ’s all over. ” “ Is it? ” The train was moving now, speeding through the night at a gradually increasing rate.
umn.31951002025146w	It ’s just the beginning! ” “ The beginning of what? ” “ Of our adventure!
umn.31951002025146w	Julius before the safe in the flat, her own question and the pause before his reply, “ Noth- ing. ” Was there really nothing?
umn.31951002025146w	Julius nodded, and continued: “ ‘ How did it happen? ” I asked again.
umn.31951002025146w	Julius spoke first: “ You did n’t send it?
umn.31951002025146w	Just a bit of spite. ” “ Your mother ’s dead, is n’t she? ” said Tuppence gently.
umn.31951002025146w	Just for the fun of the thing? ” “ Tommy, you ’re a sport!
umn.31951002025146w	Know the road at all? ” 278 THE SECRET ADVERSARY “ Yes, sir, it will be about an hour and a half ’s run. ” “ Make it an hour.
umn.31951002025146w	Let ’s have a- what do you call it in book- keeping? ” “ Do n’t know.
umn.31951002025146w	Long ago, had not Whittington asked: “ Who ’s been blabbing?
umn.31951002025146w	Look here, Tommy, shall we really?
umn.31951002025146w	Maybe they ’ve gone abroad — to Poland, or something like that? ” Tuppence shook her head.
umn.31951002025146w	Monsieur parle français? ” “ Not for any length of time, ” said Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	Mr. Brown?
umn.31951002025146w	Mr. Carter told me so. ” “ Did you ask how much? ” inquired Tommy sarcas.
umn.31951002025146w	Mrs. Edgar Keith lives here, does she not? ” “ Yaas, ” said the servant.
umn.31951002025146w	No, I ’m pretty sure Dr. Hall's all right. ” “ Hall, did you say? ” asked Sir James.
umn.31951002025146w	Notice a telephone in the outer office? ” Tuppence thought.
umn.31951002025146w	Now listen — how's this?
umn.31951002025146w	Now then, you girls, get out! ” “ Get out? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002025146w	Now, let ’s talk. ” “ What about? ” said Mrs. Wandemeyer sullenly.
umn.31951002025146w	Now, will you come and have lunch? ” “ I ’ll come anywhere.
umn.31951002025146w	Of whom?
umn.31951002025146w	One of my ideas was to take up my stand there every day with a tray of flags. ” “ What about meals? ” inquired the practical Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	One's a Labour man, you think?
umn.31951002025146w	Only one person can decide that. ” “ Who? ” asked Tommy.

umn.31951002025146w	Some one who might bar that door on them, and leave them to die like rats in a trap?
umn.31951002025146w	Something about wanting to be taken to Marguerite? ” “ Yes, sir.

umn.31951002025146w	The curious thing is that they're trying to get information about the girl from us. ” “ What? ” “ Yes.

umn.31951002025146w	What does mere food matter? ” “ That ’s all very well.
umn.31951002025146w	What else could it be? ” “ You are still young, Mr. Hersheimmer.

umn.31951002025146w	Would Conrad again accompany the girl?
umn.31951002025146w	Would not the silent forces of Mr. Brown already be assembling against them?

umn.31951002025146w	“ By the way, Julius, ” she remarked demurely, “ I — have n’t given you my answer yet. ” “ Answer? ” said Julius.
umn.31951002025146w	“ By the way, am I your cousin, or am I not? ” “ Your voice too, ” cried the delighted boy.
umn.31951002025146w	“ By the way, ” observed Mr. Carter, “ have you shown yourself to Miss Tuppence yet?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Can you give us any reason why we should not put you to death? ” asked the German.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Can you spare us a few minutes, Dr. Hall? ” said Sir James pleasantly.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Christian name? ” asked Tommy, his pencil poised.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Christian name? ” “ Margaret. ” Tommy spelt it, but the other interrupted him.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Could he? ” She appealed to Sir James.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Did the old guy say anything more? ” Tuppence opened her mouth impulsively, and then shut it again.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Did you hap- pen to notice where that wire was handed in? ” “ No, sir, I ’m afraid I did n't. ” “ H'm.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do I smell a Boche?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do n’t know? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do you deny that you were listening at that door? ” “ I do not.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do you know how long we ’ve been here? ” he asked one morning as they sat facing each other at breakfast.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do you think the collision was an accident, or done deliberately? ” ſ 290 THE SECRET ADVERSARY library, and laid her on the leather couch.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do you think this is the end?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Do you think you can fool them by leaving the car? ” “ You and I are n’t going to leave the car.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Feel better? ” asked the German, as he removed the empty glass.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Fran- çaise? ” he hazarded.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Genius, or insanity, who can say? ” There was silence.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Get my note?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Got those ropes, mate? ” The silent Conrad produced a length of fine cord.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Has anything happened to Miss Tuppence? ” His voice was keen- edged.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Have we arrived?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Have you got a bit of paper and a pencil?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Have you hit him? ” cried Tuppence eagerly.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Have you the key of the door? ” “ Yes. ” “ Give it to me. ” He handed it to her.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Hope the young lady ’s keeping well, sir? ” “ That ’s just the point, Albert.
umn.31951002025146w	“ How about the Ritz? ” “ On second thoughts, I prefer the Piccadilly.
umn.31951002025146w	“ How did you ‘ persuade ’ him? ” she asked.
umn.31951002025146w	“ How do we begin? ” “ That ’s the difficulty.
umn.31951002025146w	“ How in tarnation did he get ahead of us?
umn.31951002025146w	“ How much do you know? ” he shot out.
umn.31951002025146w	“ How was he to know?
umn.31951002025146w	“ I dare n’t. ” “ Why not? ” “ I dare n’t.
umn.31951002025146w	“ I hope we have not tired you? ” “ Oh, that ’s all right.
umn.31951002025146w	“ I like him, do n’t you?
umn.31951002025146w	“ I say, miss, she ’s a going! ” “ Who ’s going? ” demanded Tuppence sharply.
umn.31951002025146w	“ I suppose you do n’t know Mr. Whittington's address? ” “ Afraid I do n’t.
umn.31951002025146w	“ I wonder 35 “ Yes? ” “ I remember in Mr. Whittington ’s office.
umn.31951002025146w	“ I?
umn.31951002025146w	“ If the price was big enough. ” “ A paltry hundred pounds or so? ” “ No, ” said Tuppence.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is Mrs. Wandemeyer dining out to- night, do you know? ” “ Yes, I think so, but she will not be out late.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is he one of them, do you think? ” she breathed.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is it really you? ” “ Of course it is.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is n’t he a duck? ” inquired Tuppence ecstatically, as she skipped down the steps.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is that what you call her? ” His mind seemed to be trying to adjust itself to a new idea.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is there any need to hurry, sir?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Is there — something more, sir? ” “ I ’m afraid so, ” said Mr. Carter gravely.
umn.31951002025146w	“ It was here that our young friend was confined for so long, was it not? ” he said.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Jane Finn? ” he said.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Julius. ” “ What did he want? ” “ Really, I think, he wanted to see you, but I was n’t going to let him.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Look here, Tuppence, old girl, what is this going to lead to? ” “ More money, ” replied his companion.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Look here, do you remember a young lady who arrived by an earlier train, the 12.50 from London?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Lost her memory, eh? ” said Tommy with interest.
umn.31951002025146w	“ May I be permitted a word or two of advice?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Missus ’s?
umn.31951002025146w	“ My successor, perhaps? ” “ We ’ve had a letter from young Beresford, ” said Mr. Carter, coming to the point at once.
umn.31951002025146w	“ No light repartee, have you, old bean?
umn.31951002025146w	“ No unreasonable offer refused — if pay is good. ” How ’s that? ” “ I should n’t mention pay again.
umn.31951002025146w	“ No. ” “ Does anyone know where it is? ” THE ADVENTURES OF TOMMY 85 “ One person — perhaps.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Not been doing this long, eh? ” Tuppence raised her eyes, astonished.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Now who's on top and who's underneath? ” she crowed.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Now will you believe I ’m in earnest?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Now, doc, ” I went on, “ will you be frank with me?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Oh no| Shall we say payment of services in ad- vance? ”- Whittington grunted.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Oh, Julius, is n’t he just a duck? ” “ Well, I allow he seems to be the goods all right.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Oh, ” he said, “ so you ’re Conrad, are you?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Peter B. Rysdale, the oil king? ” sº----!
umn.31951002025146w	“ Refuses?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Say, what ’s all this?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Shall I see him? ” “ Perhaps. ”- “ Come, ” said Conrad harshly.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Shall I?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Shall we really try it? ” he said at last.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Shall we, Tuppence?
umn.31951002025146w	“ She ’s not in this house, for instance? ” “ Oh no, monsieur.
umn.31951002025146w	“ So you ’re my nephew, are you?
umn.31951002025146w	“ So you ’ve turned up all right?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Suppose the lady brings a libel action against me for defamation of character? ” “ Of course, ” said Tuppence.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Suppose we say a little something down, and a fuller discussion of the matter later? ” Whittington gave her an ugly glance.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Supposing she is not able to give one? ” 160 THE SECRET ADVERSARY “ What?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Supposing she is not able to give one? ” 160 THE SECRET ADVERSARY “ What?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Supposing, after all, she ’s escaped? ” she mur- mured in a whisper.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Surely you are not thinking of refusing?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Talking as though you were still at the blooming Ritz, are n’t you? ” Tommy made no reply.
umn.31951002025146w	“ That is curious — really very curious. ” “ Why? ” demanded Tuppence.
umn.31951002025146w	“ That ’s Whittington| What was the other man like? ”- “ I ca n’t remember.
umn.31951002025146w	“ That's Tuppence's P ’ “ Are you sure? ” “ Absolutely.
umn.31951002025146w	“ The Moat House?
umn.31951002025146w	“ The enclosure? ” Mr. Carter smiled dryly.
umn.31951002025146w	“ The one to the joint venture? ” “ No- the one to you.
umn.31951002025146w	“ The question was, had it been taken from him, or had he himself passed it on into another ’s keeping?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Then you know where she is? ” “ No P ’ Mr. Hersheimmer brought down his fist with a bang on the table. ” “ I ’m darned if I do!
umn.31951002025146w	“ There ’s no doubt it was chloral? ” “ I believe not.
umn.31951002025146w	“ There's one thing more. ” “ Well? ” Tuppence leaned forward and lowered her voice.
umn.31951002025146w	“ They ’ve got her. ” •* 216 THE SECRET ADVERSARY “ What? ” “ Sure thing!
umn.31951002025146w	“ Think we ’re as green as to do you in here, and have the police nosing round?
umn.31951002025146w	“ To come to the point, can we have a word with you in private? ” asked Sir James.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Tommy p?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Tommy! ” “ Yes 2 ” “ What were they like, the two men you passed? ” Tommy frowned in an effort at remembrance.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Tommy? ” queried Sir James, looking across at the American.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Tuppence —? ” faltered Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Two months ago. ” “ Gratuity? ” hinted Tuppence.
umn.31951002025146w	“ We wanted to know — that is, would you be so kind as to tell us anything you know about Jane Finn? ” “ Jane Finn?

umn.31951002025146w	“ Well, anyway, what are we going to do?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Well, how about it?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Well, my good fellow, what is it? ” asked Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Well, the question is, what do you know about her? ” Tuppence drew herself up.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Well, there it is, you see what you are pitting yourselves against?
umn.31951002025146w	“ Well, what is it? ” she asked.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Well? ” he grunted.

umn.31951002025146w	“ What about my ten shillings? ” Tommy hastily produced a ten- shilling note, and the man relinquished his find.

umn.31951002025146w	“ What about the colonies? ” she suggested.

umn.31951002025146w	“ What did she say in that note? ” he demanded fiercely.
umn.31951002025146w	“ What did she say?
umn.31951002025146w	“ What did the guy mean, do you think? ” he asked.
umn.31951002025146w	“ What did you say? ” she asked, her fingers playing nervously with a brooch on her breast.
umn.31951002025146w	“ What do you mean? ” “ I ’ll tell you.
umn.31951002025146w	“ What do you mean? ” “ What do you think I mean? ” parried Tommy, searching desperately in his own mind.

umn.31951002025146w	“ What the devil? ” began Tommy.
umn.31951002025146w	“ What was that? ” “ I heard nothing. ” Mrs. Wandemeyer gazed round her fearfully.

umn.31951002025146w	“ Who is Mr. Brown? ” Her quick eyes saw the sudden paling of the beauti- ful face.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Who ’s Annie? ” inquired Tuppence idly.
umn.31951002025146w	“ Who ’s been blabbing?

uva.x001307832	267 “ Was it from her bag, her pocket, or the folds of her dress, that she took the phial which held it? ” Genevieve miserably shook her head.
uva.x001307832	33 “ You think so? ” “ I know so.
uva.x001307832	351"To me?"
uva.x001307832	453 “ Where's the welcome I expected?
uva.x001307832	475 his friend, and would he not see that a doubt like this must be settled, no matter what the conse- quences?
uva.x001307832	51 assured, his bride untainted, no Molesworth in her past, no possible jealousy in their future?
uva.x001307832	666 And has no one else observed it?'.
uva.x001307832	: Is that it?"
uva.x001307832	A Sunday train going south?"
uva.x001307832	A messenger from Miss Gret- orex?
uva.x001307832	A veil for ze face?
uva.x001307832	Ah, can that be the sacrifice you meant?
uva.x001307832	Ai n't I right now?
uva.x001307832	Am I raving, Walter?
uva.x001307832	And at what hour was this; how soon after we left?"
uva.x001307832	And did Mildred know the secret of her mother's conduct and frequent despairs?
uva.x001307832	And how?
uva.x001307832	And the beautiful lady, your wife, how is she?
uva.x001307832	And this — I do not know how to call it- for another?
uva.x001307832	And was she there when you returned?"
uva.x001307832	And where in Genevieve's room?
uva.x001307832	And who was old James Lewis?
uva.x001307832	And you hope to open this one?"
uva.x001307832	And you pulled it up after you, eh?
uva.x001307832	And, “ Who are you? ” cried another.
uva.x001307832	Are there any questions you would like to ask her?"
uva.x001307832	Are you not the master of my fate and honor?"
uva.x001307832	Are you ready to go? ” Was he not?
uva.x001307832	Are you ready to go? ” Was he not?
uva.x001307832	Are you the detective, Gryce?"
uva.x001307832	As it is- Haloo! ” he exclaimed, “ what sort of a place is this? ” He had just caught sight of the peculiar paraphernalia of the spot.
uva.x001307832	Burned it afterwards?
uva.x001307832	But Dr. Molesworth's horse had been driven far and fast as the state he was in when I drove him into the stable, amply showed. ” “ A point?
uva.x001307832	But Molesworth as you call him- how did he take it?".
uva.x001307832	But afterwards what may not happen?
uva.x001307832	But as she came from the dressmaker who made the dresses, Mrs. Cameron will know —"“ What are you talking about? ” that lady broke in, angrily.
uva.x001307832	But first what is he brooding over?
uva.x001307832	But had she died here?
uva.x001307832	But had they gone out with her?
uva.x001307832	But how did you get up here?
uva.x001307832	But if he had not meddled with them and Mr. Gryce was ignorant of the fact of their existence, where in Mrs. Gretorex's house would he find them?
uva.x001307832	But if this yere chap here will give you his place — What sort of a man was it as took your horse?"
uva.x001307832	But it was a string of unmeaning phrases of which only one sentence was clear. ” “ And that was?"
uva.x001307832	But it's five dollars whether we overtake the chap or not?"
uva.x001307832	But of whom?
uva.x001307832	But perhaps you did not know what a secret you were hiding; perhaps the girl had not given you her real name or shown you her real face?"
uva.x001307832	But what had his purpose been?
uva.x001307832	But what he could have told you was —"“ What? ” The doctor spoke tremulously, for the inspector had a strange look on his face.
uva.x001307832	But what is a veil?
uva.x001307832	But what's up?
uva.x001307832	But where is the man I can trust?
uva.x001307832	But where is your companion? ” “ My companion?"
uva.x001307832	But where is your companion? ” “ My companion?"
uva.x001307832	But why need I go with you? ”. “ To save your good name intact.
uva.x001307832	By the color?
uva.x001307832	CURIOSITY OR INTEREST?
uva.x001307832	Cameron?"
uva.x001307832	Cameron?"
uva.x001307832	Can I bear it?
uva.x001307832	Can not Mrs. Cameron say whether she had any such person with her or not?"
uva.x001307832	Can the question you have put my wife have any bearing upon this tragic affair?"
uva.x001307832	Can you bear it?
uva.x001307832	Can you see her to- night?"
uva.x001307832	Can you tell us where Miss Farley spent the last few days of her life?"
uva.x001307832	Coming from where?
uva.x001307832	Could I?
uva.x001307832	Could it be done?
uva.x001307832	Could it be they did not believe his wife?
uva.x001307832	Could you move on so calmly in your calling if you knew what awaited you so speedily?"
uva.x001307832	Did any suspicion such as you have felt cross his mind?
uva.x001307832	Did he doubt me?
uva.x001307832	Did he own a thought or a suspicion he was fain to con- ceal?
uva.x001307832	Did he suspect for the first time that the detective was concealing something from him?
uva.x001307832	Did she intend at that time to keep her word?
uva.x001307832	Did she realize that she had reached a dramatic climax?
uva.x001307832	Did she wish to get away from him?
uva.x001307832	Did you ever love another man?".
uva.x001307832	Did you hang from the balcony by your hands? ” 442 BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
uva.x001307832	Did you not receive my telegram?"
uva.x001307832	Did you notice anything like surprise in his manner when he saw you? ” The doctor found his voice.
uva.x001307832	Do I fill all your thoughts and give impetus to all your aspirations?
uva.x001307832	Do n't delay for God's sake! ” Would he hear?
uva.x001307832	Do n't you see that it would take more than a man's courage to watch at her side with these terrific doubts unsolved?
uva.x001307832	Do n't you think so, mister? ” he asked, as he passed Dr. Cameron on his way out.
uva.x001307832	Do those wretched parents still hope that she will come? ” For answer, Mr. Gryce drew him hurriedly on.
uva.x001307832	Do you feel as if you could leave your wife?"
uva.x001307832	Do you hear, Walter?"
uva.x001307832	Do you mind my talking so freely?
uva.x001307832	Do you smell anything wrong here? ”.
uva.x001307832	Do you think I could be excused from receiving any more con- gratulations?
uva.x001307832	Do you think of me with the same fervor that I do of you?
uva.x001307832	Do you understand me, Mildred?'
uva.x001307832	Do you want to see them?"
uva.x001307832	Do you wish to hear any particulars of the affair? ”.
uva.x001307832	Does Mildred live anywhere near you?
uva.x001307832	Does Mrs. Hunter come this way to church?"
uva.x001307832	Enough to care more for me than for my beauty?
uva.x001307832	Evidence of what and evidence against whom?
uva.x001307832	Fear of what?
uva.x001307832	Genevieve? ”..."He had stopped again.
uva.x001307832	Going up that way to- morrow? ”"Do n't know,"with a side glance at Dr. Cam.
uva.x001307832	Got a long beard?"
uva.x001307832	Gretorex, do you speak the truth? ” he asked, “ Miss Gretorex here and since noon, when I myself saw her at the C- Hotel an hour ago?
uva.x001307832	Gretorex, do you speak the truth? ” he asked, “ Miss Gretorex here and since noon, when I myself saw her at the C- Hotel an hour ago?
uva.x001307832	Gryce, ” said he, “ have you seen this young lady yourself?"
uva.x001307832	Had any new- comer in town taken to buying a New York paper lately?
uva.x001307832	Had he displeased her?
uva.x001307832	Had he had any fresh orders for the Herald or Times, within the last week, say?
uva.x001307832	Had it been de- stroyed, or was it still in existence?
uva.x001307832	Had she not fine manners, and would she not add increased honor to a name already well known, and as he might add, respected?
uva.x001307832	Had they struggled and suffered and risked a hundred deaths for this?
uva.x001307832	Has he been told that Mrs. Cameron has contradicted his version of the affair and acknowledged that the girl died before ever he came to the house?".
uva.x001307832	Has my desperate situation made me mad?
uva.x001307832	Has she shown no recurrence of interest in her old life, with its pursuits and acquaint- ances?"
uva.x001307832	Has the night been too many for you?
uva.x001307832	Has your daughter, or has she not, expressed a wish to break her engagement?'
uva.x001307832	Hav'nt I told ye that over an'over again, ye spalpeen? ” “ When Jeem Doling say me zat, zen I must hear him."
uva.x001307832	Have I made myself clear to you and is there any hope of my wishes being complied with?"
uva.x001307832	Have you ever looked at her closely, sir?
uva.x001307832	Have you ever watched her smile?
uva.x001307832	Have you her veil?
uva.x001307832	Have you seen the clerks at the drug- store?"
uva.x001307832	Have you thought how much nerve and determination it would require?
uva.x001307832	Have you thought how very agreeable to her my presence will probably be, if she is as you surmise, the woman I am expected to marry in four hours?".
uva.x001307832	He has disappeared. ” “ Disappeared?"
uva.x001307832	He held in his hands two barrel staves and he star- tled them all with the cry: “ Who's got a string?
uva.x001307832	He must have guilt on his soul, positive guilt. ” “ In the shape of murder do you mean?"
uva.x001307832	How are we going to do it?
uva.x001307832	How can we tell her lover?'
uva.x001307832	How could she?
uva.x001307832	How deep have I sunk into your heart?
uva.x001307832	How is it with others?
uva.x001307832	How should he find his way out of this difficulty?
uva.x001307832	How then could he discover Molesworth without disclosing his personal interest in finding him?
uva.x001307832	How then had she disposed of it?
uva.x001307832	How was that?"
uva.x001307832	I can only tell you what we did. ” “ And you repeat that it was through his agency this dead girl was got out of your room and house?"
uva.x001307832	I did not know what to make of it. ” “ And what excuse did she give?".
uva.x001307832	I have never had an opportunity to ask him. ” “ And do you think he will tell me?"
uva.x001307832	I hope these few minutes of delay have not inconvenienced you? ” “ Your daughter! ” gasped Dr. Cameron.
uva.x001307832	I must hide this awful picture of myself, some- where; but where?
uva.x001307832	I must therefore ask if you know of any other man in whom Miss Farley might have been interested?"
uva.x001307832	I recollect now, however, that she looked brighter, and that she spoke with a freedom and abandon I had never heard from Genevieve?"
uva.x001307832	I suppose there is no doubt that the dose taken was large enough to cause speedy death? ”.
uva.x001307832	I understood that he told all he had to tell in your presence. ” “ He told two stories. ” “ How two?"
uva.x001307832	I want to discover the truth about this girl. ” Did Mrs. Gretorex suddenly change color, or was it only his imagination that made him think so?
uva.x001307832	I worked a half hour but could get no more out of him. ” “ And the clergyman?"
uva.x001307832	I- I was sure you held the dearest place in his heart; your name is Cameron is it not?".
uva.x001307832	If he don't-"“ A train?
uva.x001307832	If there was a woman there whom you did not expect to see when you returned, why did you do this?"
uva.x001307832	If you had appreciated him as you ought-"“ Mamma, have I ever said I did not appreciate him?"
uva.x001307832	In an instant he turned, and confronting the intruder, asked with some severity: “ And what work is there for a detective here?
uva.x001307832	Is Noyes going to lend you his horse?"
uva.x001307832	Is it an impossible thing for you to grant? ” He did not answer.
uva.x001307832	Is it necessary to make me suffer so? ” “ It is necessary.
uva.x001307832	Is n't it a sham? ” he added.
uva.x001307832	Is the roof tumbling over our heads?"
uva.x001307832	Is there a basement door?"
uva.x001307832	Is there disgrace lurk- ing in the air for us?
uva.x001307832	Is there truth in such tales?
uva.x001307832	Is your heart mine?
uva.x001307832	It is love, you say? ” “ Ves, sir."
uva.x001307832	It is not the conclusion you drew, but is it not the only sensible one? ” Dr. Cameron could not say no.
uva.x001307832	It was all done so quickly, she neither thought of speaking nor I of questioning? ” “ But her knowledge of things!
uva.x001307832	It was from Dr. Molesworth, and the word he had uttered, was, “ Lost! ” “ What is lost?"
uva.x001307832	Lucky for us if the owner does not appear and turn us out. ” “ The owner?
uva.x001307832	May I ask how you chanced to be so prompt on the scene of action?
uva.x001307832	May I rely upon you to receive her and put nothing in the way of her fulfilling her duties properly?"
uva.x001307832	May I venture to tell you what it is?"
uva.x001307832	Mildred Farley, the girl who died of poison that same night. ” “ Farley?"
uva.x001307832	Molesworth got it. ” “ The door then was open?"
uva.x001307832	More than this, she could, if she so wished, have stepped upon the piazza, and not knowing its condition, sat down in one corner to wait — what for?
uva.x001307832	Mr. Gryce looked troubled; he hesitated a little, then suggested kindly, “ You saw her carry it to her lips?"
uva.x001307832	Mr. Gryce?
uva.x001307832	No clew in that either? ” Mr. Gryce sat down again.
uva.x001307832	No vindictiveness in her refusal to succor him?"
uva.x001307832	No, no, no, face exposed – This better?
uva.x001307832	Not written to a woman?
uva.x001307832	Nothing about not seeing you again or anything of that kind? ” Mrs. Cameron stopped to think.
uva.x001307832	Now what had occasioned this change in her in a space of time so short?
uva.x001307832	Now where is the bottle from which she took the acid?'
uva.x001307832	Now where were the New York dailies to be found?
uva.x001307832	Now, will he think he can do it better by keeping on the road, or will he take the horse he has borrowed back into town?"
uva.x001307832	O God what a task?"
uva.x001307832	Remarkable experience, was n't it?"
uva.x001307832	SOME other way?
uva.x001307832	Shall I not stay with you and take you down?"
uva.x001307832	Shall I stop and be proper again- and melancholy?"
uva.x001307832	Shall I tell you how I know it?
uva.x001307832	She did not appear much interested, but when he finished, she sighed and remarked: “ He did not look like a guilty man, did you think so?
uva.x001307832	She had more than one patron living far up town. ” “ Do you know the names of her patrons?"
uva.x001307832	She had pieces like these dresses?"
uva.x001307832	She may have confided in Miss Foote? ”.
uva.x001307832	She wants to go to her room. ” The haughty mother surveyed her daughter in surprise..:"What is the matter?"
uva.x001307832	Should I mar the happiness of the whole company by revealing what had occurred?
uva.x001307832	Should it not be in the papers?"
uva.x001307832	Speaking of what?
uva.x001307832	Stands there no other man between us whose mem- ory makes this moment, frightful to you?
uva.x001307832	That is my duty, perhaps, but you have one, too, I think, sir. ” “ Here?
uva.x001307832	That man?
uva.x001307832	That's my business, ” he ex- plained;"and more than that, it is my nature. ” “ Q? ” repeated the doctor, vaguely.
uva.x001307832	The coroner allowed him to do so and then in- quired, “ What about witnesses?
uva.x001307832	The coroner will probably be here soon and — Who are you?"
uva.x001307832	The experiment was satisfactory?
uva.x001307832	The reporter gone, Dr. Molesworth turned again towards Mr. Gryce, “ And who are you? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	The young woman seemed very sure of herself and told me just what dress you wanted fixed, only I could n't find it. ” “ Young woman?
uva.x001307832	Then he recovered himself and said, though somewhat faintly: “ This is surmise on your part; you have no proof that such is the fact?"
uva.x001307832	Then the doctor's stern lips moved, and he exclaimed in firm, low tones: “ And she is ill, you say?"
uva.x001307832	Then with quiet solicitude. “ And how soon do you think you will be better? ” Dr. Molesworth shook his head.
uva.x001307832	Then without further delay, observed, “ And so you could make nothing out of Molesworth?
uva.x001307832	These are her clothes, are they not? ”"Certainly; old ones which she had before she was married, but too good to be scattered about like this.
uva.x001307832	To save Mildred Farley or to destroy her?
uva.x001307832	To the landlord of the tavern in which he was?
uva.x001307832	Walter, where are you going?
uva.x001307832	Was he a dark man? ” “ Very dark.'
uva.x001307832	Was he beginning to dread that hour, and wish he might be lying in blissful unconsciousness when it came?
uva.x001307832	Was he doing an unfair thing in making her talk?
uva.x001307832	Was he meditat- ing upon this case and determining just what his course of treatment should be, as he sat there before the fire?
uva.x001307832	Was it Genevieve speaking?
uva.x001307832	Was it a fool- hardy undertaking?
uva.x001307832	Was it a spirit who stood before him?
uva.x001307832	Was it in deference, or because he had determined to stay?
uva.x001307832	Was it not a moment to try the soul of the strongest man, much less that of a weakened and already greatly trou- bled woman?
uva.x001307832	Was it not late enough for him to go home?
uva.x001307832	Was it purely on ac- count of the medical case he mentioned?
uva.x001307832	Was it that in my mother's pas- sionate embrace she felt a warmth of love that she had hitherto missed?
uva.x001307832	Was not that enough?
uva.x001307832	Was she blind to the possibilities?
uva.x001307832	Was she ill?
uva.x001307832	Was that so? ”.
uva.x001307832	Was the light better up there?
uva.x001307832	Was the mystery deeper than he supposed, and had Dr. Molesworth also been a visitor in this house on the fatal evening of his intended bride's death?
uva.x001307832	Was there anything wrong in that?".
uva.x001307832	Was there desperation in it?"
uva.x001307832	Was there no fierce mental strain in this?
uva.x001307832	Was there no other anxiety or fear on your mind? ” “ Why, no.
uva.x001307832	Was this bag she carried a small, yellow one?"
uva.x001307832	Was this much hidden in his words and had it disturbed her equanimity?
uva.x001307832	Was this woman, noble and unapproachable as she seemed, implicated in this matter?
uva.x001307832	We are then brought round to my first question: who was it that did make your dresses, Mrs. Cameron?".
uva.x001307832	Well, I'm thinkin'? ”.
uva.x001307832	Were they at the end of their journey, then?
uva.x001307832	Were they those of a woman accus- tomed to the triumphs and gayeties of society?
uva.x001307832	Were they to blame also for the increasing pallor of her cheek, and the gen- eral decadence of her health which Dr. Cameron could not but notice?
uva.x001307832	What did her manner confess?".
uva.x001307832	What did it mean?
uva.x001307832	What do you say then; shall I try it? ” “ Yes, ” came in chorus from all but the two doctors.
uva.x001307832	What do you think of Dr. Molesworth?"
uva.x001307832	What does it mean?
uva.x001307832	What does it mean? ”.
uva.x001307832	What had she done with it?
uva.x001307832	What has destroyed my poor girl, the very night you hoped to marry her?"
uva.x001307832	What if Mildred Farley rebelled against the fate which the return of the true Genevieve brought her?
uva.x001307832	What is the conclusion?
uva.x001307832	What is the conclusion?
uva.x001307832	What is this going on in my room without my knowledge? ” With a quick movement both turned.
uva.x001307832	What is to be done, then?
uva.x001307832	What meaning?
uva.x001307832	What other could I have?
uva.x001307832	What self- sacrificing devotion it would need to lead a man not only to take the risk of such an act but to subject himself to the horrors of it?
uva.x001307832	What shall I do to prove my trust in her word?
uva.x001307832	What then are we to think?
uva.x001307832	What then is to be done?
uva.x001307832	What was this mystery then?
uva.x001307832	What were his thoughts?
uva.x001307832	What will become of her?
uva.x001307832	What will do it?
uva.x001307832	What, the whole dreadful busi- ness of the last four hours a farce?
uva.x001307832	When I am solved — ” “ Will you ever be solved, Genevieve? ”.
uva.x001307832	When he had finished, he asked, “ Does this story agree with what he told you this morning? ”.
uva.x001307832	When shall we go back to New York? ” A shadow fell upon the brightness of her face.
uva.x001307832	Whence did it come and what did it mean?
uva.x001307832	Where are the stairs?"
uva.x001307832	Where has she gone?
uva.x001307832	Where have you been hiding?
uva.x001307832	Where was that roll?
uva.x001307832	Where was this person, and who did she turn out to be?
uva.x001307832	Where?
uva.x001307832	Which of the two is it, my poor darling?
uva.x001307832	Which sister did I marry?
uva.x001307832	Who could it be, then?
uva.x001307832	Who do you think your friend is?
uva.x001307832	Who has presumed in my absence to take them down?"
uva.x001307832	Who is your modiste?
uva.x001307832	Why Twenty- third?
uva.x001307832	Why are these things lying here?
uva.x001307832	Why did Dr. Cameron look again at his wife?
uva.x001307832	Why did n't I?
uva.x001307832	Why had she refused to see him for the last seven days?
uva.x001307832	Why he want to see Mrs. Gretorex? ” cried Jean, descending the back stairs three steps at a time.
uva.x001307832	Why should I hasten? ” asked he at last, struck by the word.
uva.x001307832	Why should n't it be she he is going to marry?"
uva.x001307832	Why should you think I did?"
uva.x001307832	Why then this strange desire for seclusion at a time when a woman is usually supposed to desire the support of her lover's society?
uva.x001307832	Why, sir,"the doctor pro- ceeded, after a moment's pause, “ have you thought what she went through in a few hours?
uva.x001307832	Why, then, should n't they come together? ” “ And what makes you think they will not?
uva.x001307832	Why, then, should n't they come together? ” “ And what makes you think they will not?
uva.x001307832	Why?
uva.x001307832	Will it be also true that you will no longer love me? ” She did not seem to expect a reply, and he did THE DARKENING CLOUD.
uva.x001307832	Will it seem a sufficient dower in your eyes?
uva.x001307832	Will one of you help me down the steps?"
uva.x001307832	Will you come up stairs again, Mr. Gryce? ” But the detective hesitated.
uva.x001307832	Will you drive me over this road?
uva.x001307832	Will you listen? ”.
uva.x001307832	Will you not regret my brown locks after the first surprise is gone by?"
uva.x001307832	Will you tell me nothing more?"
uva.x001307832	Wo n't you take your own time and just dispose of the things yourself?
uva.x001307832	Would I try her?
uva.x001307832	Would he answer?
uva.x001307832	Would you like any assistance yourself?"
uva.x001307832	Would your heart still glow and your arms still embrace me, if instead of pleasing your eye I only appealed to your sym- pathies and your affections?
uva.x001307832	XII.—Curiosity or Interest?
uva.x001307832	You are certain she was not secretly interested in some unknown person?'
uva.x001307832	You are thoroughly convinced?"
uva.x001307832	You do n't happen to know what the name of this strange gentleman may be, do you, now?"
uva.x001307832	You look almost brilliant to- day. ” “ Do I? ” her look seemed to say.
uva.x001307832	You surely have seen the driver, he whom he sent out of the way with a pre- scription to some patient or other? ” Mr. Gryce's brows knit.
uva.x001307832	You will pardon us, wo n't you, especially as you will see us so soon again?"
uva.x001307832	Your right hand, Molesworth, or your left, Genevieve or Mildred, which is it? ”.
uva.x001307832	and do you think other women likely to share that sentiment? ” “ Yes, sir; I understand what you mean and I say unequivocally, yes.
uva.x001307832	and in that reserved and somewhat haughty way he especially admired?
uva.x001307832	asked the detective, with nothing but formal respect on his part, “ was the body dis- posed of?
uva.x001307832	calling the girl names and threatening her with the “ And this letter?"
uva.x001307832	can we face the world?

uva.x001307832	fore her?
uva.x001307832	gling about in the storm near our door? ” suggested the doctor, with some vague idea of there being safety in numbers.

uva.x001307832	what have you done?'
uva.x001307832	what other way? ” A little time had passed, and Dr. Cameron stood in the par- lor alone with Mr. Gryce.
uva.x001307832	what talk was this?
uva.x001307832	would the shadows have lain so thick upon her eyes, and the mist of her unconsciousness been su heavy?
uva.x001307832	written to whom, and for what?
uva.x001307832	« « • But she had money?'.
uva.x001307832	« • But she says she will be back?'
uva.x001307832	« • Why?'
uva.x001307832	« • Yet she went on preparing for her wedding?
uva.x001307832	· Did he anticipate making any discoveries in Washington?

uva.x001307832	“ A double? ” “ Some one who looked like her; looked like her so much that even her best friend was deceived?

uva.x001307832	“ Ah, regarding this matter perhaps?
uva.x001307832	“ Alone?"
uva.x001307832	“ Am I pretty, ” she asked, “ to you? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ And Molesworth? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ And did he?"
uva.x001307832	“ And did not see where she took it from?"
uva.x001307832	“ And do you know all that too?"
uva.x001307832	“ And her look when she saw the latter?
uva.x001307832	“ And how far is it from here to the tavern?"
uva.x001307832	“ And how far is the Harvey cottage?"
uva.x001307832	“ And how?"
uva.x001307832	“ And if I find her the stranger her name implies?"
uva.x001307832	“ And if in doing this you come across others working in the same field?".
uva.x001307832	“ And is not woman's intuition a fact? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	“ And is that all?
uva.x001307832	“ And is there no escape? ” he cried.
uva.x001307832	“ And may I inquire who this person is? ” re.
uva.x001307832	“ And mine?
uva.x001307832	“ And on what day does she expect to be married?
uva.x001307832	“ And she deceived you, made you think she was the woman you had courted?"
uva.x001307832	“ And she said nothing about death or suicide?
uva.x001307832	“ And the boy who usually accompanies him?"
uva.x001307832	“ And the driver?
uva.x001307832	“ And the phaeton?"
uva.x001307832	“ And the young lady?
uva.x001307832	“ And then went away?"
uva.x001307832	“ And they have not heard from her?"
uva.x001307832	“ And was the light- gray veil which was found on Miss Farley, yours?'
uva.x001307832	“ And what did she say?
uva.x001307832	“ And what did you whisper in that big man's ear to calm him so suddenly? ” “ Ah, you want to know my secret too,"she laughed.
uva.x001307832	“ And what do you expect me to do?"
uva.x001307832	“ And what excuse did your daughter give for her dislike?
uva.x001307832	“ And what has killed her?
uva.x001307832	“ And what have you to tell? ” asked the doctor.
uva.x001307832	“ And what is that? ” suggested the inspector.
uva.x001307832	“ And what point is that? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	“ And what shall that answer be?"
uva.x001307832	“ And what was its color, Mrs. Roberts; to a shade, mind?"
uva.x001307832	“ And when?"
uva.x001307832	“ And who do you think it was? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	“ And whom am I expected to see there?"
uva.x001307832	“ And why do n't you do so as it is?"
uva.x001307832	“ And why?"
uva.x001307832	“ And would you know it if you saw it again?"
uva.x001307832	“ And you believed her?
uva.x001307832	“ And you can not accommodate me?"
uva.x001307832	“ And you have missed nothing?-nothing in her regard for you I mean?".

uva.x001307832	“ And you have seen him since?"
uva.x001307832	“ And you will not tell me where your dresses were made?"
uva.x001307832	“ And you will take this case?"
uva.x001307832	“ Are n't you hungry in there?
uva.x001307832	“ Are you all dead? ” was his greeting as he popped his head above the trap.
uva.x001307832	“ Are you frozen up?
uva.x001307832	“ Are you sure of what you say? ” he asked, in his bewilderment and indecision.
uva.x001307832	“ Are you sure,"he inquired, “ that you are best alone?
uva.x001307832	“ Are your souls bound up in appearing well before the world? ” 246 BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

uva.x001307832	“ Can he have fled, ” he asked, wonderingly, “ or shall we find him down below?"
uva.x001307832	“ Can it be that I have here found what I have so long been searching for? ” he queried.
uva.x001307832	“ Can not you tell me,"pursued Cameron, wildly, “ or will you not?
uva.x001307832	“ Can you give us the number of the boy?"
uva.x001307832	“ Can you venture upon a guess as to when she will be in condition to take up this subject again?"
uva.x001307832	“ Certainly,-of course, why? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ Come, ” cried the other, “ your reasons?
uva.x001307832	“ Coming back, mister?
uva.x001307832	“ Could we have been mistaken? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	“ Did n't she leave any word behind her?"
uva.x001307832	“ Did n't you hear it?
uva.x001307832	“ Did you call, ma'am?"
uva.x001307832	“ Did you expect anything else?"
uva.x001307832	“ Did you know she was going away on a visit? ” “ Yes, but I knew no more.
uva.x001307832	“ Did you not suppose that you were marrying the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gretorex?"
uva.x001307832	“ Did you not? ” he inquired.
uva.x001307832	“ Do I act wildly?"
uva.x001307832	“ Do Marguerite say she was not in ze house? ” “ No, but do n't we know she was n't!
uva.x001307832	“ Do n't you know whether it is the original or not?"
uva.x001307832	“ Do n't you notice anything peculiar about these pieces?"
uva.x001307832	“ Do you demand to know? ” she asked.
uva.x001307832	“ Do you know of one man, ” she asked, “ who would share disgrace with a woman cheerfully?"
uva.x001307832	“ Do you think she loves any other man?'
uva.x001307832	“ Do you want a prescription?".
uva.x001307832	“ Do you want anything? ” “ Not from you."
uva.x001307832	“ Do you wish me to make up an article out of surmises?
uva.x001307832	“ Do you wish to stay any longer?"
uva.x001307832	“ Does he live in H-, sir? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ Does not this seem the only explanation of the facts as we have observed them? ” pursued the doc- tor.
uva.x001307832	“ Dr. B-,"Mr. Gryce now remarked,"I want time. ” “ Good! ” was the reply, and how much? ” “ Well, that I can not tell.
uva.x001307832	“ Farley?"
uva.x001307832	“ Gone?
uva.x001307832	“ Has a fellow been by here in Hyde's new buggy?"
uva.x001307832	“ Haste?
uva.x001307832	“ Have you any such secret in your life?
uva.x001307832	“ Have you found anything to eat? ” inquired the doctor, putting the best face he could upon the matter.
uva.x001307832	“ Have you talked to Molesworth?
uva.x001307832	“ Havn't you been to see?
uva.x001307832	“ He did?
uva.x001307832	“ He want to see Mrs. Gretorex?
uva.x001307832	“ Her face?
uva.x001307832	“ How could she be? ” “ Worried about him, perhaps,—and tried to hide it."
uva.x001307832	“ How do you know that?
uva.x001307832	“ How does he know it was Mildred Farley's veil?
uva.x001307832	“ How much do you love me, Walter?
uva.x001307832	“ How shall I carry her?-So?
uva.x001307832	“ How shall I carry her?-So?
uva.x001307832	“ How the devil could she scream if she was n't in the house?"
uva.x001307832	“ How, serious?"
uva.x001307832	“ I am almost at the end of my rope, only- did you wonder what had become of Miss Farley's bag? ”"I did not know she had any."
uva.x001307832	“ I believe there were curtains there but I did not look to see what they shut off. ” “ How then do you know that you two were alone?"
uva.x001307832	“ I did, sir. ” “ And what have you to say?".
uva.x001307832	“ I do not. ” “ None of them?"
uva.x001307832	“ I see two overcoats here, sir; you did n't wear them both yourself? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ I suppose that as she returned to herself so completely, she went back to all her old ways as re- garded her recognized parents?
uva.x001307832	“ I suppose there are in this city to- day, twenty ladies with just that trimming on their gowns. ” “ And with this gray velvet for a dress?
uva.x001307832	“ I will not believe what you say?".
uva.x001307832	“ I?"
uva.x001307832	“ Is it Margaret, ye say?
uva.x001307832	“ Is it necessary that I should tell you?"
uva.x001307832	“ Is it possible that the front door has been left open?"
uva.x001307832	“ Is n't Mrs. Hunter's house the next one to Jem Lewis? ” carelessly interposed the pedler.
uva.x001307832	“ Is reputation so dear to you men?"
uva.x001307832	“ Is that so?
uva.x001307832	“ Is the doctor in? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	“ Is the hall light? – Very light.--No one on stairs- Able to reach street- Only keep cool Oh!
uva.x001307832	“ Is there a room beyond?
uva.x001307832	“ It is as I said? ” remarked he.
uva.x001307832	“ Like how many of them and like which ones?
uva.x001307832	“ Looked so much like you that it was really remarkable? ” Mrs. Cameron dropped at once into her usual manner.
uva.x001307832	“ Madam, do you know a Dr. Molesworth of this city?"
uva.x001307832	“ May I ask what I can do for you? ” Then as the doctor hesitated in his agitation, added politely.
uva.x001307832	“ Mildred Farley, I mean, dressed I suppose, in Miss Gretorex's clothes, the ones in which the latter afterwards appeared at the altar?"
uva.x001307832	“ Mildred Farley? ” he inquired, wondering why this name was ever springing up at his hearthstone.
uva.x001307832	“ Mildred has told you my decision, and what was your response?
uva.x001307832	“ Molesworth! ” he called, “ are you there?"
uva.x001307832	“ My discoveries are not your discoveries,"as- serted the doctor;"yet why should I take that for granted?
uva.x001307832	“ My fate?"
uva.x001307832	“ My husband is in a hurry, ” she explained to the detective, “ is there anything more you would like to ask me about this girl? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ Neat, was n't it?"
uva.x001307832	“ No love in her remorse?
uva.x001307832	“ No one else?"
uva.x001307832	“ No. ” “ You can bear the effort and excitement?"
uva.x001307832	“ No; I drove him out there, but he did n't tell me his family affairs. ” “ Did n't he now?
uva.x001307832	“ Not gratitude simply, nor regard; but love?"
uva.x001307832	“ Not if she acknowledged she was Mildred Farley?"
uva.x001307832	“ Not to ask any more questions?"
uva.x001307832	“ Nothing?"
uva.x001307832	“ O, must we go back?"
uva.x001307832	“ O, sir,"inquired this man, “ is Mrs. Cameron in her room?
uva.x001307832	“ Overcome by grief at my absence, eh?
uva.x001307832	“ SHE told you that?
uva.x001307832	“ Shall I ever make my peace with you?"
uva.x001307832	“ Shall I inform my child that her bridegroom is ready? ” she asked, with a polite but doubtful glance at the overcoat he still wore.
uva.x001307832	“ Shall I tell you?"
uva.x001307832	“ Shall we not go by the elevated road? ” asked Mr. Gryce in his quiet way.
uva.x001307832	“ She can be dismissed then?'
uva.x001307832	“ She had the rheumatism, yet went out, you say, and enjoyed life?"
uva.x001307832	“ She left her name, then, and told you the place where she works? ” “ No, sir.
uva.x001307832	“ So called?"
uva.x001307832	“ That is all right; but what about the look you took?
uva.x001307832	“ Then all you wish of us is to prove that attend- ance?"
uva.x001307832	“ Then he has not explained to you the meaning of our conduct, that night? ” “ I did not require it."
uva.x001307832	“ There?"
uva.x001307832	“ They let you think so?
uva.x001307832	“ They were sisters, then? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ This case?"
uva.x001307832	“ This is an incredible tale, ” cried he; “ have you reason to believe it a true one?"
uva.x001307832	“ Visitors or patients? ” he queried.
uva.x001307832	“ Was it a shock, do you think?
uva.x001307832	“ Was it like this one? ” he asked, holding it up between the two men, with the initals towards Peter, and the blank side towards the butler.
uva.x001307832	“ Was there no one near you when you made yourself heard at the door?
uva.x001307832	“ We are going to Washington are we not?"
uva.x001307832	“ Well! ” exclaimed a voice from the doorway,"and what does this mean?"
uva.x001307832	“ Well, I withdraw it and will simply inquire what sort of box it was which held this phial, and where in the room it was kept?"
uva.x001307832	“ Well, Mrs. Roberts,"he exclaimed, upon seeing her, “ did you get the line I sent you?"
uva.x001307832	“ Well, well, we will have the inquest. ” Then as Mr. Gryce rose to go, “ How about that spot of paint, Gryce?
uva.x001307832	“ Well, who are your witnesses? ” “ Rather, who are yours?
uva.x001307832	“ Well, who are your witnesses? ” “ Rather, who are yours?
uva.x001307832	“ Well? ” he exclaimed, in a tone between inquiry and impatience.
uva.x001307832	“ What are you going to do?"
uva.x001307832	“ What did I tell you? ” whispered Q, in the ear of his anxious companion.
uva.x001307832	“ What does this mean?
uva.x001307832	“ What inference can we draw?
uva.x001307832	“ What is his story? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ What is it you want to know; whether Mildred Farley ever spoke to me of Dr. Molesworth?
uva.x001307832	“ What is it?
uva.x001307832	“ What is it? ” he asked, hurrying to her side.
uva.x001307832	“ What is she doing here? ” she inquired.
uva.x001307832	“ What is she talking about?"
uva.x001307832	“ What is that?".
uva.x001307832	“ What is this man about to do? ” her glance seemed to in- quire.
uva.x001307832	“ What man? ” cried one voice.
uva.x001307832	“ What orders?
uva.x001307832	“ What time is it? ” he asked, abruptly.
uva.x001307832	“ What was the last word from your home?"
uva.x001307832	“ What, when his life is at stake?"
uva.x001307832	“ What, with all those points you suggested? ” “ What were they?
uva.x001307832	“ What, with all those points you suggested? ” “ What were they?
uva.x001307832	“ What, you went away before she was removed from the house?"
uva.x001307832	“ When persons are situated like that Dr. – Dr. Molesworth who came to see us yesterday, do they go to prison?"
uva.x001307832	“ Where am I expected to go? ”.
uva.x001307832	“ Where are your shovels?"
uva.x001307832	“ Where is the pedler? ” he inquired.
uva.x001307832	“ Which?"
uva.x001307832	“ Who are you? ” he cried, leaping to his feet.
uva.x001307832	“ Who is doing very well. ” “ Would you mind,”—she spoke timidly — “ if I sometimes went with you when you go to visit the poor?
uva.x001307832	“ Who is doing well?"
uva.x001307832	“ Who is that coming? ” he asked.
uva.x001307832	“ Who saw her go out?"
uva.x001307832	“ Who was the lady?
uva.x001307832	“ Why can not you answer? ” he asked, gently.
uva.x001307832	“ Why did n't you say something to some one then?
uva.x001307832	“ Why do you keep on your veil? ” she asked.
uva.x001307832	“ Why do you stop?"
uva.x001307832	“ Why not him?"
uva.x001307832	“ Why not prove it then in a simpler way?
uva.x001307832	“ Why, yes, sir, you are his dearest friend, are you not?"
uva.x001307832	“ Why?
uva.x001307832	“ Why? ” “ Because it is going to storm.
uva.x001307832	“ Will you be pleased to make them more explicit?"
uva.x001307832	“ Will you give us the details of that inter- view? ” “ As nearly as I can, sir.
uva.x001307832	“ Will you sell it?"
uva.x001307832	“ Will you tell me your name?"
uva.x001307832	“ Would not that have been your opinion if it were another man's case than your own that you were considering?".
uva.x001307832	“ Would you trust your life with him if he were ingry? ” “ O, now you want to make use of my woman's intuition.
uva.x001307832	“ Yes, the girl who was poisoned a few weeks ago; you surely have heard your wife speak of her?"
uva.x001307832	“ Yes, they say, all say, that this girl, this Mil- dred Farley-.Was that the name she gave you? ” Genevieve quivered.
uva.x001307832	“ You are ill, they say? ” A grim smile disturbed the corners of the other's lips for a moment.
uva.x001307832	“ You are not deceiving yourself? ” he asked sig.
uva.x001307832	“ You do not wish to answer? ” said he.
uva.x001307832	“ You enjoy these gayeties,"she remarked; “ let: us make the most of them. ” “ And do not you enjoy them too?'
uva.x001307832	“ You have not been so absorbed in your new life, that you have not read this in the papers?"
uva.x001307832	“ You have sent for me?"
uva.x001307832	“ You parted, you said; may I ask where?"
uva.x001307832	“ You read the account of the proceedings before the coroner, which was printed in the papers?".
uva.x001307832	“ You think she will not come?'
uva.x001307832	“ You think so?
uva.x001307832	“ You think so? ” “ I do.
uva.x001307832	“ You think then, that I knew Mildred Farley?"
uva.x001307832	“ You were all in the room, then?".
uva.x001307832	“ You will go?"
uva.x001307832	“ You wish to know if she was a party to the deception?
uva.x001307832	“ You would?"
uva.x001307832	“ You? ” she exclaimed.
uva.x001307832	“ Your affectionate — “ What is the matter with this?'
uva.x001307832	“ Your business?
uva.x001307832	“ Your daughter?"
uva.x001307832	“ Zat girl here on Miss Gretorex's wedding night?
uva.x001307832	“ Zat girl?
uva.x001307832	“ « And she positively carried no baggage with her?
uva.x001307832	“ • And her watch?'."
uva.x001307832	“ • And how long have you felt it?'
uva.x001307832	“ • Then she did not take them with her?'
uva.x001307832	” she asked, with a tone of incredulity in her voice; “ because a scream was heard at the time?"
uva.x001307832	” “ If you will countenance me in doing so. ” “ And you think that will be sufficient to loosen his tongue?"
uva.x001307832	•What is it?
wu.89004395323	And what's that? ” “ Ah! wu.89004395323 Anxious?
wu.89004395323	Do you suppose a father can impose on a daughter? wu.89004395323 Has Monsieur Andró gone out? ” asked young Gandelu faintly; “ I thought it was he who spoke."
wu.89004395323	His will is in- flexible, and you are in his power. ” “ What do I care for my father? ” he exclaimed. wu.89004395323 I do n't know-"* It may be that my daughter will reject M. de Croisenois. ” “ Why should she?
wu.89004395323	Tell me, did you say precisely what I bade you to this woman? wu.89004395323 Tell me, ” said André kindly, “ what has gone wrong with you? ” “ Why, I've come to say good- bye to you.
wu.89004395323	What do you think of this expedient?
wu.89004395323	What does that matter if the supremacy of our house is insured by it? wu.89004395323 What fresh misfor- tune has befallen you?"
wu.89004395323	Why are you so amazed?
wu.89004395323	Why should you suppose he has asked for your hand? wu.89004395323 You are cruel, ” he exclaimed;"what have I ever done to deserve your distrust?
wu.89004395323	You have been kinder to M. de Sairmeuse, to M. George de Croisenois —“ What do you mean?"
wu.89004395323	'” “ Yes, indeed, and a good one it is too?
wu.89004395323	** And what did you see? ” “ I saw everything."
wu.89004395323	135 why did he drive me to despair?
wu.89004395323	17 célèbre in which letters did not play an important part?
wu.89004395323	201 favour is granted, for of course you have one to ask--- have you not, my darling?"
wu.89004395323	7 Ah, yes — you mean Rose? ” “ Precisely; but you know I do n't like any one to call her by that name.
wu.89004395323	75 with fever, they had asked themselves if he were not mad?
wu.89004395323	Ah, ah! ” he said, “ I understand; you are followed, and you want to give somebody the slip? ” “ Something like that, I confess."
wu.89004395323	Am I in the habit, sir, of selling you my kisses?
wu.89004395323	Am I not?
wu.89004395323	And Croisenois? ” he asked timidly: The detective repressed a smile.
wu.89004395323	And besides, what was this great concession after all?
wu.89004395323	And for what?".
wu.89004395323	And how? ” “ Norbert, your wife suspects something."
wu.89004395323	And now, Monsieur André, do you still hesitate to confide to me what you know?
wu.89004395323	And now?"
wu.89004395323	And on whom?
wu.89004395323	And then cutting the poor old crone's thanks short, she added, “ Can you give me a slip of white paper?"
wu.89004395323	And then, love or passion apart, did not the future seem most threatening?
wu.89004395323	And what did she say in return? ” “ Bless my soul!
wu.89004395323	And what did you say?"
wu.89004395323	And what did you write in return? ” THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395323	And what then? ” “ Why Jean, you know, opposed the substitution of another infant with all his strength.
wu.89004395323	And why on earth did she not come?
wu.89004395323	And why — what has happened?"
wu.89004395323	And why? ”"Do n't you remember what I said the other evening?
wu.89004395323	And why? ”"Do n't you remember what I said the other evening?
wu.89004395323	And yet what have I done?
wu.89004395323	And you said that to her? ” he asked, in a low, hoarse tone.
wu.89004395323	And you thought I should listen patiently to propositions from such a source?
wu.89004395323	And you- what do you mean to do? ” “ I?
wu.89004395323	And you- what do you mean to do? ” “ I?
wu.89004395323	Are we any the more compromised because he has penetrated the mystery of your triple personality?"
wu.89004395323	At one moment the idea of going to her father occurred to her; but she rejected it, for what good would it do?
wu.89004395323	At times she ridiculed him mercilessly, and then at others she assumed her grand air and said, “ In heaven's name, what did you ex- pect?
wu.89004395323	Before assuming your name, which is mine as well, do you think I should try to dishonour it? ”.
wu.89004395323	Besides, how would he behave on his side?
wu.89004395323	Besides, what does it matter?
wu.89004395323	Bet you twenty louis you do n't know what he did?
wu.89004395323	But I beg your pardon for singing her praises to you, who know her so much better than any one “ I, sir?"
wu.89004395323	But a moment afterwards, unconscious of the gravity of her words, she added, “ What could I do?
wu.89004395323	But conceited as his language had been, did it really justify such an outburst?
wu.89004395323	But how could he escape?
wu.89004395323	But how happened it, you ask, that the request and the refusal were written on the same paper?
wu.89004395323	But if I kill you, what then?
wu.89004395323	But in that case what was their point?
wu.89004395323	But then how could he hope to gain freedom?
wu.89004395323	But then how few there are who dare apply to the law for redress- who dare reveal their faults, their sins, their frailty?
wu.89004395323	But then, why had two different languages, go to say, been employed?
wu.89004395323	But wbat were they?
wu.89004395323	But what earthly con- nection was there between that cynical old beggar Tantaine and the rich banker?
wu.89004395323	But what is the use of complaining?
wu.89004395323	But what was that part to him?
wu.89004395323	But why had he his arm in a sling?
wu.89004395323	By the way, will you be one?
wu.89004395323	Can I ask the Duchess de Champdoce to assist me?
wu.89004395323	Can I resist my parents'will?
wu.89004395323	Can the duke have a suspicion after these minute investigations?
wu.89004395323	Can you be happy again?
wu.89004395323	Champdoce, ” said he, “ are you in love with the charming viscountess as well?
wu.89004395323	Could anything have gone wrong?
wu.89004395323	Could he never forget her?
wu.89004395323	Could he not first find out something from him?
wu.89004395323	Could n't she leave her husband?
wu.89004395323	Did any of you shelter or assist him?
wu.89004395323	Did he really love Diane still?
wu.89004395323	Did it not signify that folks pitied him, be- cause he had to submit to his father's despotic will?
wu.89004395323	Did n't he know that the blood of the Champdoces'runs in my veins as well as in his? ” Mademoiselle de Sauvebourg burst into tears.
wu.89004395323	Did she not swear to revenge herself? ” Unfortunately he did not long retain this common sense view of the matter.
wu.89004395323	Did you know he intended doing so? ”"My dear father —"“ There's no dear father'in this case.
wu.89004395323	Did you not yourself hand me a letter, and say to me,'Imitate the signature — it's that of Martin Rigal, the banker, in the Rue Montmartre?'
wu.89004395323	Did you not yourself tell me, Verminet, that for your own personal safety you must insist on another name in addition to mine?
wu.89004395323	Do any of you recollect such a child?
wu.89004395323	Do n't you think so? ” “ Yes, ” stammered Norbert.
wu.89004395323	Do you fear failure then?
wu.89004395323	Do you feel ill, that you set up such a squeal?
wu.89004395323	Do you happen to love Mademoiselle de Mussidan, and does she love you in return?
wu.89004395323	Do you know Mademoiselle Diane? ”.
wu.89004395323	Do you know Verminet? ” “ Not in the least."."
wu.89004395323	Do you know him?
wu.89004395323	Do you know his name?"
wu.89004395323	Do you know that he tried to injure me, to punish me, for having summoned him before a magistrate in the name of one of my clients?
wu.89004395323	Do you know what I should do?
wu.89004395323	Do you know what he's worth?
wu.89004395323	Do you know what would be said of you twenty- four hours after your marriage, if it were known you had been here?
wu.89004395323	Do you need a proof of it?
wu.89004395323	Do you remember that scrivener who had his room near the Palais de Justice, and who tried blackmailing on a large scale?
wu.89004395323	Do you suppose our laws do not provide for the case of a father abusing his authority?
wu.89004395323	Do you think this slander has never reached my husband's ears?
wu.89004395323	Do you want some more?"
wu.89004395323	Do you want to ensnare me?"
wu.89004395323	Do you wish me to be utterly miserable for the rest of my life?
wu.89004395323	Does Perpignan suspect the role he is to play?
wu.89004395323	Does it amuse you?
wu.89004395323	Does she amuse herself in Paris? ” Norbert made a furious gesture.
wu.89004395323	Does this astonish you?"
wu.89004395323	Even if a man were with her, what right had he to interfere?
wu.89004395323	Had Françoise seen him?
wu.89004395323	Had any other adventure befallen her?
wu.89004395323	Had he been dreaming?
wu.89004395323	Had he discovered his son's attempt, and pardoned it only on conditions he now yielded to his will?
wu.89004395323	Had he not behaved like a simpleton?
wu.89004395323	Had he not ensnared Norbert with a mirage of enjoyable liberty?
wu.89004395323	Had he not made a fool of himself?
wu.89004395323	Had he not obeyed their instructions?
wu.89004395323	Had he told him the whole truth?
wu.89004395323	Had ho nothing to reproach himself with?
wu.89004395323	Had she not already, with one single look, influenced his career?
wu.89004395323	Had the duke, contrary to Dauman's predictions, recovered?
wu.89004395323	Had the old fellow heard anything of the conversation?
wu.89004395323	Has Norbert escaped from his room? ” This idea so alarmed him that he strode home in hot haste.
wu.89004395323	Has n't she made enough victims already? ” “ Victims! ” ejaculated Norbert in surprise.
wu.89004395323	Has not my father given his consent? ” Hortebize was reflecting for some good argument.
wu.89004395323	Has your petty marquis any roal means of subsistence? ”.
wu.89004395323	Have I complained or murmured?
wu.89004395323	Have I ever disobeyed you?
wu.89004395323	Have I not always been a good son?
wu.89004395323	Have you calculated the frightful consequences of this breach of faith?
wu.89004395323	He approached, and whispered in his ear, “ You are looking for that bottle, are you not?
wu.89004395323	He asked himself, “ Is this really I, waiting for Diane, as I did at Bivron? ” How many events had taken place, and how many changes since then!
wu.89004395323	He had to sow his crops, but how did they find occupation for their hours of idleness?
wu.89004395323	He has written to you, I suppose?
wu.89004395323	He himself had thought of treason, and might not his associates in their turn intend to betray him?
wu.89004395323	He is good- looking, his fortune is considerable, he is of noble birth, and bears the title of Marquis —"“ He has spoken to you, then?"
wu.89004395323	He knew these names, of course, but should he give them?'
wu.89004395323	He recognised me and exclaimed, “ Do you hear Flavia's voice?'
wu.89004395323	He rose, and before turning away, asked, “ Where do you lodge at present? ” “ I do n't know.
wu.89004395323	He was evidently in presence of some important functionary of the Préfecture of Police; but what was wanted of him?
wu.89004395323	Here? ” “ Yes,"said M. de Champdoce, repressing a smile,"yes, here!
wu.89004395323	His life was saved; but would not death have been a mercy?
wu.89004395323	How are you dressed under that blouse? ”"Like a commissioner."
wu.89004395323	How came it there?
wu.89004395323	How can you mend matters?
wu.89004395323	How could all these strange presumptions be linked together?
wu.89004395323	How could he accept such humiliation and such poverty, being so wealthy and so nobly born?
wu.89004395323	How could he have so misunder- stood her?
wu.89004395323	How could she engage any conversation with him?
wu.89004395323	How could such a lad as Norbert distrust such marks of commiseration?
wu.89004395323	How else was I ever to hear her voice or see her?
wu.89004395323	How had he got hold of so much coin?
wu.89004395323	How had the police found him out?
wu.89004395323	How had this accident happened?
wu.89004395323	How long had he been there- one hour or six?
wu.89004395323	How much do you make each day, Father Tantaine?
wu.89004395323	How was it to be traced back to its possessors?
wu.89004395323	However, just at that moment the clock of the Invalides struck a half hour- What half hour was it?
wu.89004395323	However, what could he say?
wu.89004395323	I am very miserable! ” “ And I, what am I?
wu.89004395323	I could repeat every word we either of us have breathed, to my mother without a blush; but would any one believe me?
wu.89004395323	I do n't suppose you intend to deny the soft impeach- ment, do you? ” “ I do n't understand —"“ Well, I do, then.
wu.89004395323	I have just come from the Hôtel de Mussidan. ” “ How do they seem there? ”.
wu.89004395323	I knew you to be vile, but not to this degree-"“ Then why do you employ me, against my wish?"
wu.89004395323	I owe myself a new hat. ”* And why do you think I'm not a fool?"
wu.89004395323	I received them from the Mutual Loan Society, as you say, but I have them no longer. ” “ Is that really so? ” murmured Gaston, faintly.
wu.89004395323	I say, Chupin, when you drive about in your carriage, will you give me a lift?"
wu.89004395323	I shall have plenty of money when I'm twenty- one; and do you think I shall submit to my father's coercion?
wu.89004395323	I think they regard her as their salvation, and deplore the necessity of the sacrifice! ” “ And she?"
wu.89004395323	I was passing by, and he stopped me and said, “ Do you see this letter?
wu.89004395323	I'm going to blow out my brains at once,"“ Are you mad?"
wu.89004395323	If I asked my father he would refuse, and besides —"“ Have you no friends who would consent to oblige you for three years?"
wu.89004395323	If I disappear, who on earth would dream of looking for my body here?
wu.89004395323	If it's a re- spectable woman I have n't lost my time. ” “ And you think you know a respectable woman, do you?"
wu.89004395323	If this simpleton does n't declare himself now, I wonder what'll be her next move? ” “ And you could hesitate? ” resumed Norbert, reproachfully.
wu.89004395323	If this simpleton does n't declare himself now, I wonder what'll be her next move? ” “ And you could hesitate? ” resumed Norbert, reproachfully.
wu.89004395323	In fact, what do you know?
wu.89004395323	In many places the writing was blurred and the paper blistered, was it with tears?
wu.89004395323	In that case you must, in some way or other- skilfully, mind- obtain the services of this particular man. ” “ But what am I to say to him?"
wu.89004395323	Indeed, Champdoce was written with two s's instead of with a c. “ Who the deuce could have sent me this? ” thought Norbert.
wu.89004395323	Informed by one of the servants at the château of the young marquis's imprisonment, Dauman had been eager to warn Diane; but how was he to do so?
wu.89004395323	Instead of customers coming to you, you must search for'em, and you find'em too-""And where, pray? ” “ Ah!
wu.89004395323	Is he that fop with little mous- taches whom I saw hanging round your skirts this winter? ”.
wu.89004395323	Is it because you doubt me that you will not go with me?"
wu.89004395323	Is it not enough to have trifled with the young girl?
wu.89004395323	Is it not liberty and happiness that I propose?
wu.89004395323	Is n't Paul our accomplice?
wu.89004395323	Is n't it possible that he may have foreseen just some emergency like the present one, and have prepared for it? ” The agent had become very grave.
wu.89004395323	Is not the door of our hone closed to you for ever? ”.
wu.89004395323	Is that his name?
wu.89004395323	Is that true? ”"Oh!
wu.89004395323	It is a secret which does not belong to me. ” The spectacled gentleman smiled: “ You do n't choose to trust me?
wu.89004395323	Just fancy, your castaway —"“ Stop! ” cried Norbert with a threatening gesture; “ do you dare imagine- “ Imagine what, sir?"
wu.89004395323	Look here, my man! ” he cried, seeing a peasant at work in a field, “ do you know this dog?"
wu.89004395323	May I entreat you, therefore, to authorise me to ask M. de Puymandour for your hand?
wu.89004395323	Must she really abandon all hope of reaping the fruits of the crime she had instigated?
wu.89004395323	Must she really marry that hateful Marquis de Croisenois?
wu.89004395323	Must she really relinquish Norbert?
wu.89004395323	My father is young still. ” “ What of that?
wu.89004395323	My poor master —"“ Is he dead?"
wu.89004395323	No, it shall never be said that the Duke de Champdoce insulted me, the coward?
wu.89004395323	No?
wu.89004395323	No?
wu.89004395323	None came, however, and somewhat emphatically André resumed: “ Do you know what I am?
wu.89004395323	Now what do you think of that?
wu.89004395323	Now, I know a'dodge'that has filled the pockets of those who taught it me, so why should n't it fill mine?"
wu.89004395323	Now, while seeming to be submissive, ca n't you arrange a plan of life for yourself?"
wu.89004395323	Of course, you have to wait three years be- fore making the demand? ” “ But that's impossible,"answered Norbert.
wu.89004395323	On account of his Mining Company?
wu.89004395323	On superficial examination, it was no doubt monstrous, improbable, fantastic, and yet after all might it not be founded on fact?
wu.89004395323	Paul is very ill- he has no one with him; so who ought to take care of him, except the woman he is soon to marry?
wu.89004395323	Perpignan's plan is a good one-"You know it then?"
wu.89004395323	Shall I lend'em to you? ” André smiled blandly.
wu.89004395323	Shall I speak to him for your fair friend? ” The marquis shrugged his shoulders with a laugh.
wu.89004395323	Should he try and find out who these men were?
wu.89004395323	Some fifty thousand francs a year. ” “ Stuff and nonsense. ” “ But am I not rich enough for both of us? ” “ Ah!
wu.89004395323	Such strange things happen at times, who can be certain of his destiny?
wu.89004395323	Suppose I followed you to- day, and suppose to- morrow you heard that my father had fought a duel on my account, and had been killed- what then?
wu.89004395323	Suppose some of his club friends had sent him this letter as a practical joke?
wu.89004395323	Tell me, has your father ever struck you?"
wu.89004395323	Tell me, my son, what you have gained by these hours of solitude?
wu.89004395323	That's too much of a joke; for of course, Verminet, you're joking?"
wu.89004395323	The duke, then, had recovered from his attack?
wu.89004395323	The old man shook his head sadly, “ On account of that letter? ” he asked, respectfully.
wu.89004395323	Then I saw the man fall back"“ And then?"
wu.89004395323	Then did it not tell him something of the thoughts of her who penned it?
wu.89004395323	Then turning to Gandelu he asked, “ What do you think of your man- dressmaker?".
wu.89004395323	There was a gleam of fury in his eyes, but what did the others care?
wu.89004395323	They will be brought together, and what will be the result?
wu.89004395323	They wish to compel Gandelu to go off with Rose, do they?
wu.89004395323	Thou knowest that I love him! ”"Then why reject our only means of safety? ” “ Norbert, my dear Norbert- “ I understand only too well.
wu.89004395323	Very well, I must see them. ” “ Dear father_ ” “ The letters! ” interrupted M. de Puymandour in a formidable voice; “ where are they?
wu.89004395323	Was I not rather too prompt?-But no, on the contrary, it was a happy inspiration of mine.
wu.89004395323	Was all this serious, or merely so much joking?
wu.89004395323	Was he awake?
wu.89004395323	Was he dreaming?
wu.89004395323	Was he really such a master of the law as he pretended?
wu.89004395323	Was he such a coward as that, after all she had made him suffer?
wu.89004395323	Was he young or old?
wu.89004395323	Was it as a friend or as an enemy?
wu.89004395323	Was it merely such as a host should show, was it sincere, or did it conceal an after- thought?
wu.89004395323	Was that never'a reply to the previous letters?
wu.89004395323	Was the Count de Mussidan duped by this generous falsehood?
wu.89004395323	Was there any possibility of her doing so?
wu.89004395323	Was this she- Marie, his wife — who expressed herself with this unheard- of violence — who braved him thus, and defied his anger?
wu.89004395323	Well, I've just obtained from him the money to pay those notes of your's. ” “ Verminet's, do you mean?"
wu.89004395323	Well, and who are those that make coin?
wu.89004395323	Well, just tell me why there's velvet at forty- five francs the yard?
wu.89004395323	Well, we'll conclude then that you wish to prevent this marriage-- and why?
wu.89004395323	Were not these words part of her delirious fancies?
wu.89004395323	Were these people accomplices of Croisenois?
wu.89004395323	Were they a joke?
wu.89004395323	What can you expect?
wu.89004395323	What could be his intention in thus so speedily coming back to the château?
wu.89004395323	What could be said in reply to this?
wu.89004395323	What could be the cause of this difference?
wu.89004395323	What could he possibly do?
wu.89004395323	What did it mean?
wu.89004395323	What did the young rascal really know, and what was he going to say?
wu.89004395323	What did this mean?
wu.89004395323	What did this mean?
wu.89004395323	What did this silence mean?
wu.89004395323	What do you dare to say? ” she asked.
wu.89004395323	What do you mean? ” Tantaine seemed to be reflecting.
wu.89004395323	What does it matter how a poor man like me is sent to another world?
wu.89004395323	What does this mean? ” asked his father, in his most arbitrary voice.
wu.89004395323	What else did he care for?
wu.89004395323	What exactly occurred at L-- when the duchess was confined?
wu.89004395323	What guarantees can my father ask for? ” “ Ah!
wu.89004395323	What had been done with it?
wu.89004395323	What had taken place at Champdoce?
wu.89004395323	What had they discovered?
wu.89004395323	What have I to fear or dread any more in this world?
wu.89004395323	What have you done with his letters?"
wu.89004395323	What infamy did you suppose me capable of? ” Norbert was, in fact, managed by Diane precisely as if he had been a child or a fool.
wu.89004395323	What is your advice? ” “ Simply this, ” answered the “ judge."
wu.89004395323	What keeps you from accepting? ” She rose, threw her head back with haughty pride, and answered, “ My conscience!
wu.89004395323	What life did they lead in Paris, whither they invariably returned as soon as the cold weather set in?
wu.89004395323	What means could he employ to liberate himself from this odious slavery?
wu.89004395323	What oath shall I take that I will never have any other wife but you?
wu.89004395323	What on earth is the good of getting into a state like this?
wu.89004395323	What on earth will my father say?"
wu.89004395323	What plans have you formed, and what hopes?"
wu.89004395323	What should be done?
wu.89004395323	What should he do?
wu.89004395323	What should she answer?
wu.89004395323	What steps could be taken to discover her?
wu.89004395323	What then? ” “ What then?
wu.89004395323	What then? ” “ What then?
wu.89004395323	What was he aiming at?
wu.89004395323	What was he to do with his horse?
wu.89004395323	What was true and what was false in all he said and prophesied?
wu.89004395323	What would be her feelings in such a situation?
wu.89004395323	What would happen if this forged signature was pre- sented to M. Martin Rigal?".
wu.89004395323	What would she do then?
wu.89004395323	What you want is simply the six hundred thousand francs, is it not?
wu.89004395323	What's in the wind now?"
wu.89004395323	What's wanted to have a carriage?
wu.89004395323	What, is he still living?"
wu.89004395323	What?"
wu.89004395323	Where is it? ” “ You know; in the Rue de la Huchette, at the Hôtel du Pérou.
wu.89004395323	Where on earth do you come from then?
wu.89004395323	Who are you? ” “ I'm Caroline Schimmel."
wu.89004395323	Who but this man would ever ask for her hand? ” “ Do you forget me?"
wu.89004395323	Who but this man would ever ask for her hand? ” “ Do you forget me?"
wu.89004395323	Who could describe it to him?
wu.89004395323	Who could say?
wu.89004395323	Who could tell?
wu.89004395323	Who do you mean by'he?'"
wu.89004395323	Who gave you this letter? ”"A man I do n't know, sir,"replied the old fellow trembling.
wu.89004395323	Who had advised the incarceration of Zora- Rose?
wu.89004395323	Who had given him his address?
wu.89004395323	Who is our most valuable tool?
wu.89004395323	Who would she accuse of having stolen her secret?
wu.89004395323	Whom could he talk to, ask for information, make his friend?
wu.89004395323	Whom had they gone to visit?
wu.89004395323	Why did I ever consent to be your wife?
wu.89004395323	Why do you fight?
wu.89004395323	Why had her lover decided on marrying Marie de Puymandour, whom he did not even know, whom he had spoken of with loathing only a few days previously?
wu.89004395323	Why had the count come there?
wu.89004395323	Why may it not have suited me to keep from you the fact that Paul is really the child the duke seeks after?"
wu.89004395323	Why should n't I profit by this advice?
wu.89004395323	Why should n't I secure them for you?"
wu.89004395323	Why should n't I see for myself?-No, ” he continued, “ I will not descend to such baseness.
wu.89004395323	Why those mysterious letters, followed by this ordinary word?
wu.89004395323	Why, pray? ” “ Negotiated!"
wu.89004395323	Why?
wu.89004395323	Why?
wu.89004395323	Will she not be herself under suspicion?
wu.89004395323	Will you come and lunch with us? ” “ Thank you; no.
wu.89004395323	Will you help me? ”.
wu.89004395323	Will you pardon me?
wu.89004395323	Would M. de Mussidan remember his promises, or the peril no longer existing?
wu.89004395323	Would Nor- bert come?
wu.89004395323	Would he have the sang froid and tact required in so delicate a position?
wu.89004395323	Would he merely frigidly ex- press his thanks?
wu.89004395323	Would she not seek for revenge?
wu.89004395323	You do n't see this?
wu.89004395323	You have killed George, you say?
wu.89004395323	You have not been frank with me, why should I be honest with you?
wu.89004395323	You have preserved these letters, no doubt?
wu.89004395323	You have shown him that it was in obedience to your orders that I went in search of him. ” “ Well, what then?"
wu.89004395323	You love him, then? ” She averted her face, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
wu.89004395323	You must forget me- do you hear?
wu.89004395323	You saw him, of course?"
wu.89004395323	You talk to me of pre- judices- have I not defied them already, and has not the world sat in judgment upon me?
wu.89004395323	You under- stand, Father Tantaine? ” “ Not bad!"
wu.89004395323	You want my place, and furnace, eh?
wu.89004395323	You will enjoy Paris, Norbert, from twenty- one to twenty- five, and will you remember that a sad- hearted girl"“ Why do you talk to me of law?
wu.89004395323	You wish the truth?
wu.89004395323	Your mother's fortune would render you independent of your father. ” “ But how could I ever dare to claim it?"
wu.89004395323	and why? ” “ Ah, George!
wu.89004395323	could n't he leave his wife?
wu.89004395323	dear father! ” she said, with a gaiety that was heart- breaking under the circumstances, “ why despair?
wu.89004395323	delu to his father?
wu.89004395323	ence that I can detect. ” “ Were you alone with the countess?"

wu.89004395323	formation?"
wu.89004395323	have you forgotten your old friends? ” It was a moment before Norbert recognized this young fellow; but sud.
wu.89004395323	he said to himself, “ what am I doing here?
wu.89004395323	here in Paris?
wu.89004395323	ings to be?
wu.89004395323	is n't hope the sun total of life? ” XXXIV.
wu.89004395323	me?"
wu.89004395323	moning all his self- possession he replied, “ I do not understand you; what could be discovered to- night?
wu.89004395323	my Lord Duke of Champdoce, you wanted to send me to the galleys, did you?
wu.89004395323	my friend, you are not free either. ” “ I am only a weak child, it seems? ” he asked, with compressed lips.
wu.89004395323	said the doctor; “ so Caroline Schimmel has spoken? ” “ Yes.
wu.89004395323	that I ought not to be here?
wu.89004395323	to all his father's propositions?"
wu.89004395323	what a pity he lost his mother so early. ” What did all this mean?
wu.89004395323	what did he say?"
wu.89004395323	what does it matter, ” answered Norbert, “ providing I live fast and die soon? ” The truth is, that the young ruke seemed a prey to vertigo.
wu.89004395323	what would he not have given to have been able to efface the past?
wu.89004395323	who can tell who is watching us?
wu.89004395323	who is inflated by vanity, who has neither energy nor independence, nor will nor heart? ” Flavia had flushed scarlet.
wu.89004395323	whose turn is it next?"
wu.89004395323	why did I hesitate?
wu.89004395323	why hush?"
wu.89004395323	yes; what do you want? ”.
wu.89004395323	you will kill me, too?
wu.89004395323	“ A complaint?"
wu.89004395323	“ After all, ” she said, “ what does it matter to ine?
wu.89004395323	“ After all, ” thought Norbert, “ why should n't my wife betray me?
wu.89004395323	“ Alas! ” he sighed, “ I know everything! ” “ You know, ”"That Monsieur Norbert is a prisoner?
wu.89004395323	“ Alas! ” she murmured, “ what can I say?
wu.89004395323	“ Am I mistaken?
wu.89004395323	“ Am I not a Champ- doce as well as he?
wu.89004395323	“ And did you mention me by name? ” “ Yes, at the very last I did.
wu.89004395323	“ And did you speak to her? ” “ Did I speak to her?
wu.89004395323	“ And did you speak to her? ” “ Did I speak to her?
wu.89004395323	“ And he did n't kill her? ” cried Hortebize.
wu.89004395323	“ And if I went alone, ” he asked, “ what would become of you? ” At this question Mademoiselle de Sauvebourg turned extremely pale.
wu.89004395323	“ And is that what you call your'dodge?
wu.89004395323	“ And of high birth, of course?
wu.89004395323	“ And who is this Marquis de Croisenois?
wu.89004395323	“ And why, pray? ” “ Why?
wu.89004395323	“ And why, pray? ” “ Why?
wu.89004395323	“ And why?
wu.89004395323	“ And you can leave me thus,"she asked sadly, “ without a word? ” “ What can I say, mademoiselle?
wu.89004395323	“ And you can leave me thus,"she asked sadly, “ without a word? ” “ What can I say, mademoiselle?
wu.89004395323	“ And you did not refuse? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ And you think, ” he said, with a disdainful smile,"that I shall be satisfied with such an answer as this? ”.
wu.89004395323	“ And you, poor child,"he said, in a bitter tone,"did n't you understand the meaning of that laugh?
wu.89004395323	“ Anything new, La Candele? ” asked the old clerk.
wu.89004395323	“ Are not my orders sufficient to insure obedience?
wu.89004395323	“ Are you afraid of him as much as that? ” asked the"judge ” with a touch of sarcasm.
wu.89004395323	“ Are you sure that the duke has no other means of recognition?"
wu.89004395323	“ Are you sure, ” he said, “ that I wish to deceive him?
wu.89004395323	“ Ay, we've won, ” he said, “ for to- day; but how about to- morrow?
wu.89004395323	“ But can Paul be left all alone?"
wu.89004395323	“ But how is it he has so suddenly fallen ill? ” “ It came like a flash of lightning, ” responded Jean, after a moment's hesitation.
wu.89004395323	“ But is she here?
wu.89004395323	“ But what have I done? ” she asked, with tears in her eyes.
wu.89004395323	“ But what's the matter with him?"
wu.89004395323	“ But who can it have been?'
wu.89004395323	“ But why did you leave Paul?"
wu.89004395323	“ But you are not the person whose name I read on this card?"
wu.89004395323	“ By the duke?
wu.89004395323	“ Ca n't you guess? ” rejoined the agent, in a tone that was more appal- ling even than his manner.
wu.89004395323	“ Ca n't you see?
wu.89004395323	“ Can it really be managed? ” he asked, anxiously.
wu.89004395323	“ Can that really be, Monsieur le Duc?"
wu.89004395323	“ Caroline? ” he repeated.
wu.89004395323	“ Come, do you know what he loves in me?
wu.89004395323	“ Come, you do n't mean it? ” he stam- THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395323	“ Could the curé have been right?"
wu.89004395323	“ Did you expect us? ” “ Not at all."
wu.89004395323	“ Did you lend a hand, then? ”.
wu.89004395323	“ Did you think I meant to offer you twenty thousand francs? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Did you wish to see me? ” asked the duke.
wu.89004395323	“ Do n't know?
wu.89004395323	“ Do n't you understand me, Diane?"
wu.89004395323	“ Do you doubt my love?
wu.89004395323	“ Do you hesitate? ” asked the duke angrily.
wu.89004395323	“ Do you mean to say that you can make my father do anything you choose? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Do you mean to say, ” she asked, fixing her eyes upon him, “ that you did not come in disguise one day to Paul's, when I was there myself?"
wu.89004395323	“ Do you really think so?"
wu.89004395323	“ Do you refuse me, then? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Do you think so, “ judge'? ” “ I will point them out.
wu.89004395323	“ Do you think, ” he said,"that I address myself to thieves?
wu.89004395323	“ Do you, indeed?
wu.89004395323	“ Does he think he can force me to marry this heiress of his — this Marie de Puymandour?"
wu.89004395323	“ Does she love me? ” he murmured.
wu.89004395323	“ Does your father know how you employ it?"
wu.89004395323	“ Eh?
wu.89004395323	“ Excuse me, ” he said, “ was it you who sent me a card soliciting an interview? ” “ I had that honour, ” answered Tantaine humbly.
wu.89004395323	“ For that?
wu.89004395323	“ Good, is it not?
wu.89004395323	“ Good- day,'judge,'"said the count, “ what's the news? ”.
wu.89004395323	“ Guarantees?
wu.89004395323	“ Had n't she all his letters?
wu.89004395323	“ Had you ever seen him before?
wu.89004395323	“ Has the dog frightened you, dear? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Have I been frightening myself for nothing? ” he thought.
wu.89004395323	“ Have I come on a useless errand?"
wu.89004395323	“ Have they forgotten us? ” she asked herself.
wu.89004395323	“ He had had a fit of apoplexy, then?"
wu.89004395323	“ He?
wu.89004395323	“ How can I love him? ” “ I know him, then, and that is quite enough.
wu.89004395323	“ How do you dare to brave me in this way?
wu.89004395323	“ How does it happen you are not at the wedding with the others? ” “ Alas!
wu.89004395323	“ How is the duke? ” resumed the"judge”_"and Monsieur Norbert?
wu.89004395323	“ How is the duke? ” resumed the"judge”_"and Monsieur Norbert?
wu.89004395323	“ How long have I been here? ” he asked himself.
wu.89004395323	“ How long have you been here? ” “ A week or so,"replied Montlouis; “ I came here with my patron- for I have a patron now.
wu.89004395323	“ However, Monsieur le Duc,"resumed André, “ before anything else, I must ask you to allow me to address you a few observations?"
wu.89004395323	“ Hush! ” What more explicit confession than this was required?

wu.89004395323	“ I have something more to add, ” he replied, “ if you will listen; some, thing about- you know what. ”"About what, indeed?"
wu.89004395323	“ I have thought of that, ” he said; “ but what can be done? ” “ I will ascertain, ” exclaimed Catenac.
wu.89004395323	“ I was afraid"“ Ah, I see, you detect a strange expression in my face?
wu.89004395323	“ In heaven's name, ” cried Norbert, w what has caused your grief?
wu.89004395323	“ In his confidence?".
wu.89004395323	“ Is it true, Diane, ” continued Norbert pleadingly, “ that you hesitate to intrust yourself to me?
wu.89004395323	“ Is it true,"he asked, “ that there wo n't be any of the servants at the house in Paris to- night? ” “ Does n't Monsieur le Duc remember?
wu.89004395323	“ Is it true,"he asked, “ that there wo n't be any of the servants at the house in Paris to- night? ” “ Does n't Monsieur le Duc remember?
wu.89004395323	“ Is n't iny word enough?
wu.89004395323	“ Is that really true?"
wu.89004395323	“ Is that so?
wu.89004395323	“ It is 1, ” answered a plaintive voice—“Gaston! ” Was there any reason to distrust this young fellow?
wu.89004395323	“ It was because Van Klopen refused to give you longer credit- in fact, it was in order to pay him that you applied to Verminet? ”.
wu.89004395323	“ Jean,"he exclaimed, “ what do you believe?
wu.89004395323	“ Let me speak, will you? ” he cried impatiently.
wu.89004395323	“ Like?
wu.89004395323	“ Look out?
wu.89004395323	“ Must it be? ” she asked — “ must I justify myself?
wu.89004395323	“ Must it be? ” she asked — “ must I justify myself?
wu.89004395323	“ No, it is not any distrust of you that deters me. ” “ But what is it, then?
wu.89004395323	“ Now, ” continued the unknown gentleman, “ do you realise the futility of your attempts?
wu.89004395323	“ Observations?"
wu.89004395323	“ Paul?
wu.89004395323	“ Proofs! ” he answered;"do you think I carry them in my pocket?
wu.89004395323	“ Return to the château?"
wu.89004395323	“ Since how long?"
wu.89004395323	“ Suppose I entreated you to spare me a marriage which would make me miserable?"
wu.89004395323	“ That is easier said than done; I know that right enough. ” “ You've tried, then? ”"To do something alone?
wu.89004395323	“ That is easier said than done; I know that right enough. ” “ You've tried, then? ”"To do something alone?
wu.89004395323	“ That is what we were, ” he cried in a ringing voice; “ but what is left to us of all that splendour?
wu.89004395323	“ That man! ” he cried, “ where's that man? ”"What man?"
wu.89004395323	“ That man! ” he cried, “ where's that man? ”"What man?"
wu.89004395323	“ Then what do you deny? ” “ Nothing, in fact; I was merely jesting.
wu.89004395323	“ Then where do you think your notes are? ”.
wu.89004395323	“ Then why petition?
wu.89004395323	“ Then, ” rejoined the count, in whose eyes there sparkled a gleam of hope, “ why do you talk to me of giving my daughter to M. de Croisenois?
wu.89004395323	“ Then, ” she repeated, with evident hesitation, “ I saw you — bury him- then_"“ Did you have a good look at this man?"
wu.89004395323	“ To- day's Thursday; can it be arranged that the Duke de Champdoce, Perpignan, and yourself, shall start for Vendôme on Saturday?"
wu.89004395323	“ Very well, ” he said, coldly;"but who can tell me that you will keep your engagements, and that the papers will be re- stored to me after all?"
wu.89004395323	“ We imprudent?
wu.89004395323	“ Well, ” cried the count, “ tell me what is the matter? ” “ Oh!
wu.89004395323	“ Well? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ What a child I am,"he muttered at last;"is joy troubling my brain? ” 192 THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395323	“ What are they doing? ” he asked himself.
wu.89004395323	“ What are we to do?
wu.89004395323	“ What are you in such a hurry about?"
wu.89004395323	“ What can we do?"
wu.89004395323	“ What do you mean?
wu.89004395323	“ What do you mean? ” he stammered.
wu.89004395323	“ What do you mean?"
wu.89004395323	“ What do you want?"
wu.89004395323	“ What do you wean by everything?"
wu.89004395323	“ What does the boy mean? ” he muttered.
wu.89004395323	“ What does this mean? ” asked the artist.
wu.89004395323	“ What has gone wrong? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ What have you to do with Croisenois? ” retorted M. de Puymandour.
wu.89004395323	“ What is there to prevent your doing this?'
wu.89004395323	“ What is to be done, then? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ What more could we hope from you when we have your daughter and your fortune? ” This was logical enough.
wu.89004395323	“ What on earth do you mean? ” he stammered.
wu.89004395323	“ What reasons, ” she asked, “ could she give her father for her* refusal?
wu.89004395323	“ What the deuce do you mean? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ What then?"
wu.89004395323	“ What will be the result of the count's visit to the studio? ” he asked himself.
wu.89004395323	“ What will he think?"
wu.89004395323	“ What would you presume to say to my daughter?"
wu.89004395323	“ What! ” said he, “ do n't you recognise me? ” Gaston started with surprise, and made some confused remark.
wu.89004395323	“ What's the matter? ” asked André, much surprised.
wu.89004395323	“ What, is it you, Father Tantaine?"
wu.89004395323	“ What?
wu.89004395323	“ Where is my son? ” he asked of the first servant he perceived.
wu.89004395323	“ Where shall I find this young artist now, sir? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Who can tell? ” said he.
wu.89004395323	“ Who ever dared to speak of me in that way? ” he cried, in a threatening voice.
wu.89004395323	“ Who has dared to mention your name except with the most profound respect? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Who is coming? ” she asks herself with a shudder.
wu.89004395323	“ Who told you so? ” he cried.
wu.89004395323	“ Who told you this? ” she gasped.
wu.89004395323	“ Who's there? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Who's there?"
wu.89004395323	“ Who?
wu.89004395323	“ Why are you here, sir? ” he asked, in a trembling voice.
wu.89004395323	“ Why do you talk to me of a future, when you know that my present life may endure twenty years more?
wu.89004395323	“ Why not trust him? ” said Norbert;"he has had experience."
wu.89004395323	“ Why not?
wu.89004395323	“ Why should I deceive or feign?
wu.89004395323	“ Why?
wu.89004395323	“ With that person you just left? ” “ Yes, to be sure that person,'as you call him, is wiser than I am.
wu.89004395323	“ Would n't I do? ” he asked.
wu.89004395323	“ Yes, on account of this letter. ” “ Some one has made charges against my mistress. ” “ How do you know that?"
wu.89004395323	“ Yes; and do you know what form his madness has taken?
wu.89004395323	“ You are afraid of him then, are you? ” “ Yes, mademoiselle, I am afraid, and very much afraid.
wu.89004395323	“ You are jesting? ” “ I was never more serious in my life- I have found him.
wu.89004395323	“ You can detect nothing? ” he asked, as he took the letter from Paul's hands.
wu.89004395323	“ You dared to insult the woman I love, while you knew I could not protect her?
wu.89004395323	“ You do n't happen to have ten thousand francs to lend me, eh? ” he suddenly asked the young artist.
wu.89004395323	“ You do n't wish to appear? ” he said at last to his associate, in a suspicious tone.
wu.89004395323	“ You mean number seventeen? ” said the assistant- surgeon;"he is in a most deplorable state.
wu.89004395323	“ You've seen it done, do you say?"

yale.39002013119517	Both my pictures are done — what do you think of that?
yale.39002013119517	But I have said enough — have n't I?
yale.39002013119517	But Mat, to all appea- mce, was not able to finil out the meaning nf one of her ges-?
yale.39002013119517	But fifthly what?
yale.39002013119517	But how did you come to be so long away?
yale.39002013119517	But how the deuce do you manage without a scalp — I never heard of such a thing before in my life — how is it you're not dead, eh?"
yale.39002013119517	But there's one thing I ca n't exactly make out yet,"she added —"how did you first come to know all about Mary's child?"
yale.39002013119517	But to the next questions that he asked himself, concerning the girl's father, the an swers were not so easy to be found: Who was Arthur Carr?
yale.39002013119517	But what did it aWter, afer all, whether it was or not?
yale.39002013119517	But what were they then?
yale.39002013119517	But who can be surprised that a child of six years old should be tired of a sermon forty minutes long by my watch?
yale.39002013119517	But who is Madonna i And wherefore tbe absolute silence between her and Mr. Blyth?
yale.39002013119517	But why worrit yourself about finding Arthur Carr at all?"
yale.39002013119517	But, come — I've had enough of ibis; I ca n't stop talking here all day; I want the child; so just deliver her up at once, will you?
yale.39002013119517	But, really, Blyth is such a good kind- hearted fellow, it seems too bad — in short, do n't let's do it next time, Mat, that's all?"
yale.39002013119517	But, tell me first, are you really and truly deter mined lo be a painter?"
yale.39002013119517	Can anythirg have happened to him since we parlea com pany at the theatre?
yale.39002013119517	Can you wait two minutes, old fellow?
yale.39002013119517	Coming here to- mor row, he says?"
yale.39002013119517	Could n't we pay to ride?
yale.39002013119517	Could this be, the last refuge to which Mary ran after she fled from home?
yale.39002013119517	Could this man be in his right senses?
yale.39002013119517	Did Mary leave nothing behind her, in the bilter day when she fled from her home?
yale.39002013119517	Did he ever recognize any family likeness to past fallibilities of his own, in the fallibilities which led Zack astray into forbidden paths?
yale.39002013119517	Did n't you find drawing infernally difficult, Blyth, when you first began?"
yale.39002013119517	Did they want to drive him to despair, and make him run away from home, by forcing him into thi( employment of all others that he hated thi most?
yale.39002013119517	Did this young lady deserve to excite other emotions besides contempt or pity?
yale.39002013119517	Did we know,"he urged,"that it was dangerous work?"
yale.39002013119517	Did you ever hear of a young gentle man who thought more of a plate of'muffins than of a lady's gift?
yale.39002013119517	Did you ever make love to a squaw?
yale.39002013119517	Did you never hear tell of anybody with the name of Arthur Carr?"
yale.39002013119517	Didn'tT try and: b'eat il into your muddled old head, half an hour ago, that Blyth wo n't tell anybody anything about her?"
yale.39002013119517	Do I err in believing that a Rubbleford audience can make kind allowances for their weaker fellow- creatures?
yale.39002013119517	Do I want to see every thing?
yale.39002013119517	Do n't you know that it's one of Madonna's oddities not to care about jewelry?
yale.39002013119517	Do yOu- call that a reason?
yale.39002013119517	Do you agree to that bargain-?
yale.39002013119517	Do you desire to see me visited by more poignant sufferings than these?
yale.39002013119517	Do you feel any reluctance to tell us in confidence whatever you know about her?"
yale.39002013119517	Do you find your view of the model a little too much for you, my love?"
yale.39002013119517	Do you know whose hair it is?
yale.39002013119517	Do you minr1 waiting?"
yale.39002013119517	Do you really like it?"
yale.39002013119517	Do you really mean to give her that hair bracelet?
yale.39002013119517	Do you see him as often as ever?
yale.39002013119517	Do you see that?"
yale.39002013119517	Do you think the* young woman would fancy tbis?"
yale.39002013119517	Do you want a bed to sleep in?
yale.39002013119517	Do, pray do promise me you wo n't?"
yale.39002013119517	Does not this satisfy your doubts?
yale.39002013119517	Does she belong to that man?"
yale.39002013119517	Does the gentleman mean?
yale.39002013119517	Even if we only endeavor to image to ourselves the externals of the life which those massy walls keep secret, what have we to speculate on?
yale.39002013119517	First, she required to be informed what sort of characters we were?
yale.39002013119517	For, to you, what is a time- table but waste- paper?
yale.39002013119517	From those fresh, rosy lips shall no glad words pour forth, when she runs and plays in the sunshine?
yale.39002013119517	Gets lots of mohey, does he?"
yale.39002013119517	Has: everybody got a port- crayon and a bit of Dread- crumb?
yale.39002013119517	Have you had any leap- frog since I was here lasi?
yale.39002013119517	Have you hurt yourself wilh lhat picture?"
yale.39002013119517	Have you learnt your lesson, you wicked boy?"
yale.39002013119517	Have you told her that?
yale.39002013119517	Having already procured the first requisite for executing his design, how was he next to profit by what he had gained?
yale.39002013119517	He declares that he alone is great, that all allegiance must be given to him: and ends tri umphantly by asking: —"Am I not a great pullet?
yale.39002013119517	He had sat down to hi?
yale.39002013119517	He had two favorite phrases to an swer every form of objection, every variety of reasoning, every citation of example?.
yale.39002013119517	He is bent on knowing What that ruined wretch left behind her, is he?
yale.39002013119517	He may be dead and buried for anything I. know —"""Then what's ihe use of looking for him?"
yale.39002013119517	He never said"Good morn ing"when he kissed her; or,"Thank you for finding the Vandyck brown;"or,"What do you think of Snook's new kitten?"
yale.39002013119517	He walked away a little; and I whis pers to her again,'Why don'l you suckle it?'
yale.39002013119517	He will know all, will he?
yale.39002013119517	He will make a tradesman of me Ai n't I a good boy to be doing a bit of com merce already on my own account?"
yale.39002013119517	Her name's Mary?'.'
yale.39002013119517	Here, her attention was suddenly arrest ed by Madonna, who was eagerly and even impatiently signing on her fingers:"What are you saying to Patty?
yale.39002013119517	His hat?
yale.39002013119517	Hot as ever, eh?
yale.39002013119517	How Iwas it Blyth would never tell anybody even Eio much as where he picked her up?
yale.39002013119517	How could we resist this most irresistible of boatmen?
yale.39002013119517	How cr.did he otherwise have got possession cf Mary Grice's bracelet and Mary Grice't, child?
yale.39002013119517	How dare he come between her and God, with his talk of this world, which it is profanation for her to hear while she is preparing for the next?
yale.39002013119517	How did you ever get in here?
yale.39002013119517	How do we overcome our first painful cuticular reminiscences of first getting on horseback?
yale.39002013119517	How do you mean to make love to her?
yale.39002013119517	How do you mean?
yale.39002013119517	How is it made?"
yale.39002013119517	How is it you've never turned up before?
yale.39002013119517	How is the dearest, prettiest, gentlest love in the world?"
yale.39002013119517	How many parents are there who are capable of remembering what they were at twenty, when their sons happen to have arrived at that age?
yale.39002013119517	How much?"
yale.39002013119517	How should I know?
yale.39002013119517	How should Mr. Blyth know more than me?
yale.39002013119517	How?
yale.39002013119517	How?"
yale.39002013119517	Hurt?"
yale.39002013119517	I approach her first, and am thus saluted:"If you please, sir, what have you got to sell?"
yale.39002013119517	I ask you, or any man, if it is n't loo bad to force me into such a tea and ex pectoration line of business as that?
yale.39002013119517	I bolted frOm home, I bolted from school, I bolted from aboard ship —""Why?
yale.39002013119517	I ca n't leave the old lady( though she- wo n't forgive me) without writing a line to keep up he?
yale.39002013119517	I know I burnt a muffin; but what has that got to do with Madonna's present io me?"
yale.39002013119517	I say, Blyth, is he the sort of chap I ought lo begin upon?"
yale.39002013119517	I say, Blyth, you and Madonna do n't mind smoke?"
yale.39002013119517	I say, Blyth,- which chalk do I begin with? — the white or the black?
yale.39002013119517	I say, Blyth,- which chalk do I begin with? — the white or the black?
yale.39002013119517	I say, have you got any tea?"
yale.39002013119517	I say, old boy, do you know that the best thing you ever did in your life was saving Valentine's picture in that way?
yale.39002013119517	I wonder whether it will be fine to- morrow?
yale.39002013119517	I wonder whether my father would let me go?"
yale.39002013119517	I'll begin with Amelia Bibby — eh, Blyth?"
yale.39002013119517	I've been a little too sudden in telling you the worst, have n't I?'
yale.39002013119517	IS HE THE MAN?
yale.39002013119517	If master must have you, you great beastly doll, why do n't he give you a petticoat?
yale.39002013119517	If she had been willing, and able, to utter her thoughts, she might have expressed them thus:"I wonder whether he really likes my drawing?
yale.39002013119517	If she should touch him?
yale.39002013119517	In a minute he was by the?
yale.39002013119517	In short, hang me if I understand exactly what you do mean?"
yale.39002013119517	In short, the point was, would we mercifully"spare his shoul ders,"or not.?
yale.39002013119517	In the first place —""Do you usually mention your secrets in a voice that everybody can hear?"
yale.39002013119517	Is he a friend of yours?"
yale.39002013119517	Is he going to be taken ill?
yale.39002013119517	Is he going to bring anybody else in here along with him, to- morrow night?"
yale.39002013119517	Is he letting e< ui more than he ought, I wonder, now'he's a litlle in liquor?"
yale.39002013119517	Is it Mary Blyth?
yale.39002013119517	Is it that the fatal destiny in store for him is even now darkly heralding its approach by some secret pre sentiment that weighs on his heart?
yale.39002013119517	Is n't it enough to make a fel low's blood boil to think of it?
yale.39002013119517	Is not Cornwall a celebrated mining country?
yale.39002013119517	Is that all you called me back for* The devil ta|
yale.39002013119517	Is that the way to make him take kindly to religious teaching?
yale.39002013119517	Is the poor thing ill?'
yale.39002013119517	Is this done anywhere else but in England?
yale.39002013119517	Is this one of the mysteries of the paint er's fireside?
yale.39002013119517	It's a short story, old boy; but devilish romantic — is n't it?"
yale.39002013119517	It's too ridiculously improbable to be true, is n't it?
yale.39002013119517	It's your lawful name, is n't it?"
yale.39002013119517	Jubber ai n't there now?
yale.39002013119517	Let me see — what was I saying?
yale.39002013119517	Like?
yale.39002013119517	Mary?"
yale.39002013119517	May Carry and I take the dear little girl out with us to see our gardens, mamma?"
yale.39002013119517	May I inquire your name?"
yale.39002013119517	Mean?
yale.39002013119517	Meanwhile, how had Mr. Marksman been occupying himself, since be had left his young friend alone in the lodging in Kirk street?
yale.39002013119517	Metal or earthenware?
yale.39002013119517	Morning, early, shall I write?
yale.39002013119517	Mr. Marksman( that's the name to ask for, is n't it?)'
yale.39002013119517	Must we believe such representations to be poetically suggestive of life among the simple inhabitants of a young world?
yale.39002013119517	My dear,1?'
yale.39002013119517	Not under standing at first what this means, we ask respectfully if she feels at all ill?
yale.39002013119517	Now that we have done talking over our third legend, what is it that keeps me and my companion still lingering on the downs?
yale.39002013119517	Now then; where's Madonna?
yale.39002013119517	Now, if you want( 0'go, what are you stopping for?
yale.39002013119517	Of course you've got your own objection all ready to bowl me down with?"
yale.39002013119517	Or, if we rather inquire which audience had the advantage of witnessing the wor thiest performance, could we fail'to decide at once?
yale.39002013119517	Ought it to be his eyes, or his nose, or his mouth; or the top of his head, « tr the bottom of his chin — or what?"
yale.39002013119517	Painter?
yale.39002013119517	Paper?
yale.39002013119517	Peck,'says she,'what have you beenafternow?
yale.39002013119517	Pray, why did you speak of the little girl, a mo ment ago, as your child?"
yale.39002013119517	Rationalism — eh?
yale.39002013119517	Shall I get you one of Lavvie's fans?"
yale.39002013119517	Shall I take that sketch down for you, my dear sir, to look at close?"
yale.39002013119517	Shall I try hard if I ca n't make it better worth pleasing him?
yale.39002013119517	Shall she never, never hear kindly human voices, the song of birds, the pleasant murmur of tbe trees again?
yale.39002013119517	Shall the clear, laughing tones be hushed always?
yale.39002013119517	Shall we dream over our old play any longer?
yale.39002013119517	Shall we linger any longer among the ruins?
yale.39002013119517	She admires the design( sponge- cake?
yale.39002013119517	She knows fancy- work and cuttin'out — would ye ever have thought it?
yale.39002013119517	She smiled sadly upon us; and desired to know how we liked corned beef?
yale.39002013119517	Should he discover himself at once to Mr. Blyth, and compel him by fair means or foul, to solve tall doubts and disclose what he knew?
yale.39002013119517	Should we not be cheated, robbed, and kidnapped?
yale.39002013119517	So you will not even let me tell Valen tine who this is a present for?"
yale.39002013119517	Some of those people whose names are written here over your fireplace?
yale.39002013119517	Spare you the disgrace?"
yale.39002013119517	Splendid beginning, is n't it?"
yale.39002013119517	Still, though the painter was issycdly not the father, might he not know v/ lio the father was.br had been?
yale.39002013119517	Sup pose he is alive, why should you go taking vengeance into your own hands after all these years?
yale.39002013119517	Suppose you come with us, Blyth?"
yale.39002013119517	Surely I ca n't say fairer than that: — May I bring him to see the pictures?
yale.39002013119517	Surely, you do n't want me to tell'how that happened, do you?
yale.39002013119517	Surely, you must haye thought of your father and sister, sometimes — did n't you?'
yale.39002013119517	The black — eh?
yale.39002013119517	The child?"
yale.39002013119517	The in fluence"which was thus at work in him was not to be questioned — it?
yale.39002013119517	The landlord would like to know, if that is the case, why we carry those weights at our backs?
yale.39002013119517	The painter- man wo n't tell anything about her, wo n't he?
yale.39002013119517	Then added1 quickly,"What else besides Mary?"
yale.39002013119517	Then, this sort of dialogue, spoken in serious, subdued tones, just reaches us: Question:"What can they be?"
yale.39002013119517	Thorpe.,"I have always tried to make you happy, and I am sure you are ready, by this time, to try and make me happy — are you not, Zack?"
yale.39002013119517	Though they were letters in form, they proved to be only notes in substance, when he opened them; the writing, in some, no?
yale.39002013119517	Thursday?
yale.39002013119517	Thus indepen dent, what may you not accom plish?
yale.39002013119517	V hat need to bother his head about what f^dn't concern him?
yale.39002013119517	Very shocking and very curious at the same time, is n't it, Zack?"
yale.39002013119517	Was he at thai moment, in very truth, standing face to face wilh Arthur Carr?
yale.39002013119517	Was he still alive?
yale.39002013119517	Was he still alive?
yale.39002013119517	Was it not a hor ribly dreary country, where you could expect to do nothing but tumble down mines, and lose yourself on pathless moors?
yale.39002013119517	Was it suspicion or truth?
yale.39002013119517	Was nol this, upon t'ie whole, very possible?
yale.39002013119517	Was she sleeping?
yale.39002013119517	Was she your mother?"
yale.39002013119517	Was the child born alive?
yale.39002013119517	Was the rough, Mr. Marks man himself lured at first sight into ac knowledging her influence?
yale.39002013119517	Was there some inexplicable dread steal'ing over him at the mere prospect of examr.iing.-,the contents of this one solitary letter?
yale.39002013119517	Wberewashe?
yale.39002013119517	Wberewashe?
yale.39002013119517	We always haye our little tiff about this when we meet, do n't we?
yale.39002013119517	We ask him, what he thinks we are?
yale.39002013119517	We said to- morrow evening* did n't we?"
yale.39002013119517	Well?"
yale.39002013119517	Were not the whole population wreckers and smugglers?
yale.39002013119517	What about to- morrow?
yale.39002013119517	What am I to understand, sir, by this conduct?"
yale.39002013119517	What are you laugh ing about?
yale.39002013119517	What are you stopping and scratching your head for in that way?"
yale.39002013119517	What became of it?
yale.39002013119517	What can I have forgotten?
yale.39002013119517	What can he serve the gentleman wilh?
yale.39002013119517	What can you be about all this time in there?"
yale.39002013119517	What can you possibly want wilh it now?
yale.39002013119517	What could all their cunning and resolution avail them now?
yale.39002013119517	What could he buy for Madonna that was pretty, and cheap enough to suit the present state of his pocket?
yale.39002013119517	What do you mean by asking me that?"
yale.39002013119517	What do you mean by enticing away my mysterious foundling?
yale.39002013119517	What do you mean by setting on one man in that way?
yale.39002013119517	What do you say to devoting the evening in the old way to a game of cards?"
yale.39002013119517	What do you say to it?"
yale.39002013119517	What do you think I had to do yesterday?
yale.39002013119517	What do you want to say good- night here for?"
yale.39002013119517	What do, you mean'by this; private swindle of talent lhat belongs to my circus?"

yale.39002013119517	continually more or less beastly and ridicu lous in their antics?
yale.39002013119517	continued the good woman;"and about the fall that tobk her hearing away?
yale.39002013119517	cried Mr. Blyth,"what do you mean by applying the word* ca n't'to any process of art in my presence?

yale.39002013119517	how can you talk about yourself in that way?"
yale.39002013119517	how did you come by that?
yale.39002013119517	how do you know the child Has n't got at your razors?"
yale.39002013119517	how often must I keep on telling you that I'm old enough to be able to hold my tongue?

yale.39002013119517	if they all came to life again that, very minute, what could she have to do with them, whose only rela tion was death?
yale.39002013119517	inclined to ask, how many people are compre hended under the term"we?"
yale.39002013119517	it would disgrace you, would it?
yale.39002013119517	ma'am, Doctor Joyce —""How is he?"
yale.39002013119517	none of them ever say a word about it before other people, of course?"
yale.39002013119517	or a pair of eyiffs?
yale.39002013119517	or a place?
yale.39002013119517	or a pot of bear's'grease?
yale.39002013119517	or about her poor mother?
yale.39002013119517	or an almanac?
yale.39002013119517	or assumed airs of inquisitive com miseration, and said,"Sad case, is n't it?"
yale.39002013119517	or no i?"
yale.39002013119517	or —""What, you're at it again, sir?"
yale.39002013119517	said Jubber, setting his- arms akimbo, and tapping bis foot fiercely on the floor,:"you're trying to come Tommy Grand over me already, are you?
yale.39002013119517	said Mrs. Peck over,"do you think we have n't had some thing else to do here, besides listening to you?
yale.39002013119517	said he, looking down at the cat who lay between his legs,"you've got another kitten, have you?
yale.39002013119517	says I, quite loud,'are you so well already that you're trying to imitate Mr. Jubber's gruff voice?'
yale.39002013119517	says I;'how did you find out she was a dressmaker?'
yale.39002013119517	shall I write it on her slate?

yale.39002013119517	stay on in spite of her?
yale.39002013119517	surely that's'at our gate,"exclaimed Valentine;"who can be com- ing'to see us so late- on such aubld'nightsas this?
yale.39002013119517	that a trifle of money would do a little good to?"
yale.39002013119517	that's my opinion, and I should rather like to hear what you've got to say against it?"
yale.39002013119517	the grog and pipes — do you?"
yale.39002013119517	then you did hear something at the card- table about it, after- all?"

yale.39002013119517	— If we were resolved to go on, he was ready; for had he not told us that he would row against any man in England?

uva.x000207412	And did Harborough go soon after? ” “ He went away a few days before I was married.
uva.x000207412	Aye? ” said the Chief Constable. uva.x000207412 Baron von Eckhardstein?"
uva.x000207412	But- why do you come to tell us this, now?
uva.x000207412	Crawley? uva.x000207412 Dead? ” she said intensely.
uva.x000207412	Did n't ever remark to any of your fellow- servants that you'd seen Baron von Eckhardstein out at that time of the morning? ” suggested Blick. uva.x000207412 Did n't you know me?
uva.x000207412	Found anything of that sort? ” asked the Chief Constable of the policeman. uva.x000207412 Have you got the numbers of the notes you gave to Markenmore? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	I did — and when it was getting light, too — see him clear enough that time! ” “ And what time was that?
uva.x000207412	I gained no definite idea, anyway. ” “ What did he tell you, Miss Markenmore? ” in- quired the Chief Constable. uva.x000207412 I guess he's not English, eh? ” he suggested.
uva.x000207412	I might get mixed up about exactly where it was from, but-“ Now, where was it from? ” asked the Chief Con- stable.
uva.x000207412	I think, sir, you spoke of adjourning at this stage? ” he con- tinued. uva.x000207412 In what way? ” asked Harry.
uva.x000207412	Is it a sure thing? ”I'll guarantee that!"
uva.x000207412	Is it possible, sir, that I have the pleasure of meeting the famous Detective- Sergeant Blick, whose name I have heard in connection with this case?
uva.x000207412	Make anything out of it? ” suggested Blick. uva.x000207412 Mr. Blick, I think, has heard it from somebody in the village? ” “ I announced it to the proper people, ” replied Mrs. Braxfield with spirit.
uva.x000207412	Now then- does Mrs. Wrenne still keep the Sceptre Inn, in the vil- lage?
uva.x000207412	So — she's got a tongue, this sister of ours, eh, Master Harry? ” he said, with a half- amused, half- cynical laugh. uva.x000207412 Strictly private, eh? ” Grimsdale glanced at the window, and crossing over to it, drew its curtains.
uva.x000207412	Then he was with you about an hour? ” “ About an hour- yes. ” “ Alone all the time?' uva.x000207412 Then he was with you about an hour? ” “ About an hour- yes. ” “ Alone all the time?'
uva.x000207412	Then your acquaintanceship with him at that period lasted about four or five years?
uva.x000207412	There's the note- I suppose you want the number? uva.x000207412 What are you looking at? ”.
uva.x000207412	What hap- pened after you'd finished this business? ” “ Nothing unusual. uva.x000207412 What is it — what's happened? ”.
uva.x000207412	What then?
uva.x000207412	What?
uva.x000207412	Where does he hang out? ” “ Next cottage to the churchyard,replied Grims- dale.
uva.x000207412	Where is he? uva.x000207412 Who?
uva.x000207412	Why not? ” The brother and sister looked at each other. uva.x000207412 You can recognize him?"
uva.x000207412	You've no idea what time he went out? ” he asked, glancing at Pegge. uva.x000207412 'Cause why? uva.x000207412 -does somebody suggest this? ” “ Not at all! ” replied Blick hastily. uva.x000207412 -some allowance, for instance? ”. uva.x000207412 -what man? ” “ The man who left it on the supper- table at the Sceptre, of course! ” retorted Summers, with another chuckle. uva.x000207412 ... is Colo- nel Tretheroe dead, then? ” “ Died out in India, sir- so I'm given to under- stand — a year since,answered Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	... “ Where is Mr. Blick? ” demanded a woman's voice, somewhere behind the curtains.
uva.x000207412	112 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY"You knew who he was?—you recognized him?"
uva.x000207412	114 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY How could the third man get into your house without your knowledge?
uva.x000207412	226 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY"Is — is that loaded? ” he asked nervously.
uva.x000207412	24 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY “ Why?
uva.x000207412	304 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY You'd a pretty good grudge against Guy Marken- more yourself, eh? ” Roper scowled more darkly than before.
uva.x000207412	54 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY"What's all this? ” asked Mr. Fransemmery in a hushed voice.
uva.x000207412	A Londoner, I set he down for. ”"You did n't see his face? ” “ I did n't see nothing of he,'cepting his figure, like.
uva.x000207412	A mere business meeting! ” “ He did n't tell you whom he was going to meet? ” “ Not at all- not one word!
uva.x000207412	A very exciting and engrossing profession, I believe, sir- quite adventurous? ” “ Depends,"said Blick.
uva.x000207412	Ai n't there men round about here as had sweethearts and lassies whose heads he turned with his ways?
uva.x000207412	Ai n't you never heard tell about what Eve did to poor old Adam? ”"I've heard of that incident, ” admitted Blick.
uva.x000207412	Am I right in supposing that your old master's dead? ” he continued, motioning the butler to join the group.
uva.x000207412	Am I right? ” “ Quite! ” replied Harborough.
uva.x000207412	And I know somebody who has one that's a precise duplicate of it. ” “ Who?"
uva.x000207412	And I might ha'been about a mile or so along that when I hears men a- coming towards me"“ What time was that, Roper? ” interrupted Blick.
uva.x000207412	And first of all-to whom are we talking? ” The visitor looked from one man to the other and spoke in quiet, even tones.
uva.x000207412	And for a third, and most important one- if he's the man who shot Guy Markenmore next morning, where had he been in the meantime?
uva.x000207412	And now- what is it?'
uva.x000207412	And so — Poppy Wrenne is really Lady Markenmore? ” “ Of course!''
uva.x000207412	And what's her proper Christian name? ” “ Daphne, ” said Pegge promptly.
uva.x000207412	And where did you see him at four o'clock?
uva.x000207412	And, as he's fidgety about not being left, you'll excuse me if I go back to him?
uva.x000207412	And, ” he added with a wink, “ a fat lot of good they'll do in my opinion. ”"No good, you think? ” suggested the Professor.
uva.x000207412	Any- way, who's had it?'
uva.x000207412	Anyway, whatever it is, you'll come to no harm- so long as you speak the plain truth. ”"Them witnesses, now? ” suggested Pegge.
uva.x000207412	Appointment, you understand?-al- ready made.
uva.x000207412	At five minutes to eleven he came back. ” “ Alone? ” asked the Coroner.
uva.x000207412	At that hour of the night I sup- pose all your doors were fast, eh? ”"They were all fast, sir- locked.
uva.x000207412	At this time?
uva.x000207412	Been away for- seven years, is n't it?
uva.x000207412	Blick? ” she said in a soft, demure voice.
uva.x000207412	Blick?''
uva.x000207412	But I know where to find him — and had n't you better wire him at once?
uva.x000207412	But I reckon my bankers may have them — they enter numbers when paying them out, do n't they? ” “ Who are your bankers? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	But I reckon my bankers may have them — they enter numbers when paying them out, do n't they? ” “ Who are your bankers? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	But I say — what woman do you think's at the bottom of this affair?'
uva.x000207412	But I think he's got it, what?
uva.x000207412	But he asked if — or, rather, when- he might come and see me. ” “ And what did you reply?"
uva.x000207412	But he was n't alone for the rest of the time. ” “ Who was with him?"
uva.x000207412	But now, my dear fellow — this mysterious person?
uva.x000207412	But there are more important questions than any of these 314 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY-for one, where was that man going?
uva.x000207412	But was that sufficient to make one suspect him of murder?
uva.x000207412	But why?
uva.x000207412	But you say Sir Anthony's not in immediate danger? ” “ Not immediate, ” replied Harry.
uva.x000207412	But — who knows? ” DEEP LANE 223 “ If he did, ” Blick went on, “ why did n't she divulge that fact at the inquest?
uva.x000207412	But — who knows? ” DEEP LANE 223 “ If he did, ” Blick went on, “ why did n't she divulge that fact at the inquest?
uva.x000207412	But- I suppose you saw them? ” “ I saw one of them, sir.
uva.x000207412	But- aren't you going back now?
uva.x000207412	But- bless me, is this Harry? ” The door had opened again, and a young man had come quietly into the room.
uva.x000207412	But- er- I understood that no other announcement had yet been made? ” “ Did you? ” exclaimed Mrs. Braxfield, a little contemptuously.
uva.x000207412	But- er- I understood that no other announcement had yet been made? ” “ Did you? ” exclaimed Mrs. Braxfield, a little contemptuously.
uva.x000207412	But- er- it seems to me that it might be I might ask, eh? — What does the young lady- Lady Markenmore- say about it?''
uva.x000207412	But- er- it seems to me that it might be I might ask, eh? — What does the young lady- Lady Markenmore- say about it?''
uva.x000207412	But- her could ha'seen it, and him, or whoever was there, from somewhere else, where very like her was! ” “ Where? ” demanded Blick.
uva.x000207412	But- now, this is be- tween ourselves, is n't it? ” “ Absolutely! ” declared Blick.
uva.x000207412	But- you're really back, sir?
uva.x000207412	But: since seven o'clock, this evening, I've known it to be true- in every detail! ”"You have? ” exclaimed Mr. Fransemmery.

uva.x000207412	Ca n't you tell me?"
uva.x000207412	Come, now? ” “ What if it was? ” retorted Mrs. Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	Come, now? ” “ What if it was? ” retorted Mrs. Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	Did he come down with Markenmore from London?
uva.x000207412	Did he say with whom, or where? ” “ No, he did not.
uva.x000207412	Did he talk like a countryman?
uva.x000207412	Did they foregather on the way between Mitbourne and Markenmore?
uva.x000207412	Did they meet in the train?
uva.x000207412	Did you arrange when it was to be? ” “ Yes, we did. ”"When?"
uva.x000207412	Did you arrange when it was to be? ” “ Yes, we did. ”"When?"
uva.x000207412	Did you meet John Harborough last Monday? ” A dead silence fell on the room.
uva.x000207412	Did you mention every- thing? ” “ Everything — yes,"replied Blick.
uva.x000207412	Did you notice which way he went when he left? ”.
uva.x000207412	Did you write it under great provocation? ” “ Under greatest provocation.
uva.x000207412	Do n't you remember, Harry — just before he went? ” “ Nothing definite, ” replied Harry.
uva.x000207412	Do you call it a murder, now? ” “ Murder I do entitle it, my dear young London man, and a grievous and bloody one!
uva.x000207412	Do you honestly believe that Mr. John Harborough killed Guy Markenmore?
uva.x000207412	Do you know the Baron von Eckhardstein? ” “ Sure!
uva.x000207412	Do you think it very likely that he would begin matters by shooting a man? ” “ I'm not going to suppose anything.
uva.x000207412	Do you think one car would be noticed out of the hundreds that come and go?
uva.x000207412	Do you think our worthy of the paste- pot and brush would give us one? ”"Nothing would please him better, I should think, ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	During the time you three were together, did Markenmore ever mention his approaching marriage to von Eckhard- stein?
uva.x000207412	Eh, ma'am? ” “ Lord, Mr. Fransemmery, what a flatterer you are! ” said Mrs. Braxfield with a conscious laugh.
uva.x000207412	Eh? ” “ Yes, ” said Harry.
uva.x000207412	For instance, somebody may have wanted to get rid of both of'em?
uva.x000207412	For instance- in going about, as you do, have you ever seen anything suspicious, or met any suspicious characters?
uva.x000207412	From her, he turned to her maid; did Daffy Halliwell know anything?
uva.x000207412	Goes quietly away amongst these hills and woods on his walking- tour- who's going to suspect an innocent- looking pedestrian?
uva.x000207412	Guy Marken- more at the Sceptre that night, Mrs. Tretheroe? ” “ Not a bit!
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore came to your house, the Sceptre Inn, on Monday night? ” “ Mr.
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore had a ring like that? ” “ Of course he had! ” she answered.
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore here? ” “ Here, sir?
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore here? ” “ Here, sir?
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore left home- seven years ago? ” “ Yes."
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore since he left home, Grimsdale? ” asked the Coroner.
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore to your guests when you took him in?"
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore was one of them? ”"Yes."
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore was pretty mad about her at that time, eh? ” suggesed Blick.
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore's profession, or business? ” asked the Coroner.
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore? ” he said, glancing at the keeper and the policeman.
uva.x000207412	Guy Markenmore? ”"Yes."
uva.x000207412	Guy and Mr. Harborough, should all turn up again- here- about the same time?
uva.x000207412	Guy go?"
uva.x000207412	Guy mention the other man's name? ” “ No, sir."
uva.x000207412	Guy, I do hear? ” he observed, looking Blick over with critical eyes.
uva.x000207412	Guy? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	Guy?-dead?
uva.x000207412	Had they ever had any dealings? ”"I do not think they had — no.
uva.x000207412	Harborough? ” “ All right, sir,"said Harborough quietly.
uva.x000207412	Harry, ” he went on, pulling out a small key,"you know my old room?
uva.x000207412	Has he never applied for any?
uva.x000207412	Has he said anything to you? ”.
uva.x000207412	Has my sister any love- af- fairs?"
uva.x000207412	Have you ever heard or seen anything out of the common? ” Roper looked from one visitor to another.
uva.x000207412	Have you got any? ” “ Money down? ”'asked Roper.
uva.x000207412	Have you got any? ” “ Money down? ”'asked Roper.
uva.x000207412	Have you heard anything through your police people? ” “ A great deal, Mrs. Tretheroe! ” replied Blick.
uva.x000207412	Have you still got that note? ” “ Yes, sir,"answered Grimsdale, pulling out an old- fashioned purse.
uva.x000207412	He answered — just what you've answered. ” “ Well? ” asked Guy, with something very like a growl.
uva.x000207412	He did n't see any of them. ” “ Where did you and he go, in your house? ” “ We went up to my boudoir. ” The Coroner leaned still nearer.
uva.x000207412	He had n't altered much. ” “ Had you any conversation with him? ” “ Just a bit, sir.
uva.x000207412	He is very old now, you know — and very feeble. ”"If there's anything I can do? ” suggested Har- borough.
uva.x000207412	He said cigars made his insomnia worse. ” “ Well- you left at about three o'clock, I think? ” suggested Blick.
uva.x000207412	He said,'Hullo, Grimsdale, how are you?
uva.x000207412	He then asked if eleven o'clock would suit me for the supper?
uva.x000207412	He wanted a revolver- I recommended that. ” “ Would you know it again? ”'asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	He was walking along the side of a fence. ” “ How far away from you? ” “ About a hundred yards."
uva.x000207412	He's the next, is n't he? ” “ Well,"replied Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	He- he saw Mr. Harry and Miss Valencia. ” “ Has he come back for — for good?
uva.x000207412	Her could n't see through that, nohow, could her?
uva.x000207412	How are you going to get on his trail? ” “ The queer thing about that,"observed Blick,"is this at least, it's a surface difficulty.
uva.x000207412	How does Mr. Harry take the sudden change in his for- tunes? ” “ Mr.
uva.x000207412	How had he come there?
uva.x000207412	However, he neither said yes nor no: and when we were about to part he asked me where I was staying, and what time I'd be 182 WAS IT ROBBERY?
uva.x000207412	I asked him straight out if he'd had anything to do with it?
uva.x000207412	I did n't know he'd been here, till just now. ” “ I suppose he did n't come to see you, Mr. Har- borough? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	I do n't think there's the slightest ground for doubting the truth of her story, why should there be?
uva.x000207412	I do n't! I think he's run away. ” “ Why, now, Blick? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	I had no idea he'd come home. ” “ Was there any — shall we call it embarrassment?"
uva.x000207412	I mean — seriously? ” “ Mrs.
uva.x000207412	I met him at the gate. ” “ What happened then? ” “ He went back to my house with me."
uva.x000207412	I mind him well enough: a red- faced gentleman. ” “ Older than herself? ” asked Valencia.
uva.x000207412	I replied:'What if it was?'
uva.x000207412	I should be glad to know a lot more. ” “ But you’m what I do say, bain't you, mister? ” suggested Bob Gravus.
uva.x000207412	I should like to look in there — I wonder if they could give us some lunch? ” “ I'm staying there,"replied Blick.
uva.x000207412	I suppose Harborough and Guy Markenmore were rivals, eh? ”"Everybody knows that, my dear sir!"
uva.x000207412	I suppose you'd had other customers in that parlour, during the previous day?"
uva.x000207412	I suppose you'll not deny me the right of seeing him when I get to wherever you're going to take me? ”.
uva.x000207412	I think you're famil- iar with the Sceptre, sir?
uva.x000207412	I was afraid of him. ” “ When this threat was made bad Guy Markenmore gone away from here? ” “ Oh, yes — some little time before."
uva.x000207412	I'd been down to the vil- lage and everybody knew he'd got home. ” “ And you are certain that the man you saw was Mr. Harborough? ”.
uva.x000207412	I'm dead to him — and what's the good of upsetting a dying man?
uva.x000207412	I'm not coming back. ”"But, Mr. Guy — your father? ” said the old butler.
uva.x000207412	I'm sure you wo n't mind if I ask you one or two personal questions, Mrs. Tre- theroe?
uva.x000207412	I- what's your dog up to?"
uva.x000207412	If I was certain that the man I saw on the hill- side the morning of the murder was Mr. John Harborough?
uva.x000207412	If she knew it, why did she conceal it?"
uva.x000207412	If you do chance to know anything at all, Roper, cut in first! ” “ That there money?-a hundred pound, ” said Roper slowly.
uva.x000207412	If, then, there was something which she knew, and was keeping back, what was it?—and what was her object in secrecy?
uva.x000207412	Important?
uva.x000207412	Interesting, is n't it, Fransemmery, from a lawyer's point of view? ”"From that point- very,'agreed Mr. Fransem- mery.
uva.x000207412	Is John Harbor- ough home again? ”.
uva.x000207412	Is he here? ” “ No! ” answered Valencia.
uva.x000207412	Is it se- rious? ” “ Well, sir, he's been a bit bad this last day or two, ” said Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	Is n't it there? ” Blick shook his head, his puzzled look changing to one of vexation.
uva.x000207412	Is she leaving, too? ” “ No,"answered Pegge.
uva.x000207412	Is that so?"
uva.x000207412	John Harborough?
uva.x000207412	Keeps it- so to speak. ” “ And what do you think about this affair, Mr. Cripps? ” asked Blick suavely.
uva.x000207412	Left some aching hearts behind him, did Master Guy when he went away to London town. ” “ What, amongst the village girls? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	Like anybody about here, you know? ” “ No! ” replied Roper with emphasis.
uva.x000207412	Look here — Chilford might n't want my presence; shall I go? ”"No; come in, ” said Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	Mr. Fransemmery, I think you know them all pretty well — will you walk down with me?
uva.x000207412	Mrs. Tretheroe sent me in to tell the police — she says something's happened to him. ” “ Happened to him?
uva.x000207412	Mrs. Tretheroe, during those seven years, did you ever see Guy Markenmore? ”"Never! ” THE CORONER SITS 79"Did you ever hear from him?"
uva.x000207412	Mrs. Tretheroe, during those seven years, did you ever see Guy Markenmore? ”"Never! ” THE CORONER SITS 79"Did you ever hear from him?"
uva.x000207412	Nobody ca n't do nothing at'em for telling what they know, eh? ” “ Strictly protected, in every way, ” said Blick, with emphatic decision.
uva.x000207412	Not as well off as we used to be, sir- eh?
uva.x000207412	Now then — was von Eckhardstein the man who had left it there?
uva.x000207412	Now — was that appointment with you? ” “ No- certainly not! ”.
uva.x000207412	Now — why? ” Blick paced the room again, thinking still more intently.
uva.x000207412	Now, I'd like to know this: Did Guy Marken- more tell her that he'd been married before, lost his wife, and had a son living? ” “ Did he, indeed?"
uva.x000207412	Now, I'd like to know this: Did Guy Marken- more tell her that he'd been married before, lost his wife, and had a son living? ” “ Did he, indeed?"
uva.x000207412	Now, do you know- precisely — what time this was, Grimsdale? ”"Yes, sir!
uva.x000207412	Now, first- you say Mrs. Tretheroe has a house- party at the Dower House? ” “ Yes, sir, ” replied Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	Now, is it a fact that Harborough threatened his rival in your pres- ence?"
uva.x000207412	Now, what does this Mrs. Braxfield propose to offer for information? ” “ Do n't know — she did n't say,"answered Blick.
uva.x000207412	Now, what was it?"
uva.x000207412	Now, where? — and how long? ” DENOUNCED 71 Mr. Fransemmery made no reply.
uva.x000207412	Now, why?"
uva.x000207412	Odd! — that you should both have rings which are exactly alike. ” “ So Mrs. Tretheroe comes here? ” suggested Guy.
uva.x000207412	Oh, aye, I seen her wi'her pistol! ” “ You did n't see her last Tuesday morning? — the morning Mr.
uva.x000207412	On what occasion? ” “ It was one day when he met Guy and myself coming home from hunting.
uva.x000207412	Once more who was he?
uva.x000207412	Or his secrets?
uva.x000207412	Otherwise “ What? ” demanded Valencia.
uva.x000207412	Same place? ” WILLIAM PEGGE 165 “ I suppose you know the Dower House pretty well, Pegge? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	Same place? ” WILLIAM PEGGE 165 “ I suppose you know the Dower House pretty well, Pegge? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	Seems inclined to enjoy herself, I think, sir. ” “ Are there any children?"
uva.x000207412	She had noticed that her brother was wearing it when he called at the Court before seeing you. ” “ And it was not found on him?".
uva.x000207412	She took it a month or so ago, from Mr. Harry_he acts in everything now, sir- and she's moved into it. ”"She took it?"
uva.x000207412	So Grimsdale said- from what he see of him, as they was going away?"
uva.x000207412	So we arranged that he should get a special license and we would be married straight off. ” “ Any particular date? ” “ Yes.
uva.x000207412	So —"“ From his last remark you gathered that he knew the Sceptre? ” enquired Blick.
uva.x000207412	Somis there any address on the cards which were presumably found in the case which the witness mentions? ” The barrister held up some cards.
uva.x000207412	Still going it as strong as ever, eh?
uva.x000207412	Still you remem- ber him?"
uva.x000207412	Such an awful lot of talk about nothing, do n't you think?"
uva.x000207412	Surely, you did n't expect me to know you? ” “ You'll know me better, perhaps, my girl, in quite another way, before long, ” answered Guy.
uva.x000207412	THE CORONER SITS 177 “ Did you come to any conclusion as to how it was done? ” “ Yes, I did.
uva.x000207412	Tastes differ — don't they? ”.
uva.x000207412	That pipe you found"138 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY “ Yes, sir? ” returned Grimsdale, leaning across the bar.
uva.x000207412	That was all — he went off, then. ” “ Giving you no more idea than just that? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	The morning was a particularly clear one- very fine. ” “ And you saw Mr. Harborough? ” “ I did, sir."
uva.x000207412	The thing's done, and ca n't be undone! ” “ And what is done? ” asked Mr. Fransemmery softly.
uva.x000207412	Then I suppose Mrs. Braxfield is — here? ”"No, sir, and never has been,"replied the old butler.
uva.x000207412	Then he said, sudden- like,'I believe you've got a gentleman here who's expecting me?'
uva.x000207412	There were no money troubles, for instance? ” THE INCRIMINATING LETTER 99 “ The police have also made enquiry amongst Mr.
uva.x000207412	There's a little iron swing- gate in the holly- hedge — you'll maybe have noticed it?
uva.x000207412	They come on, talking, they had n't never stopped talking since I first see'em-"“ Hear what they said? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	They were always teasing me- both of them. ”"And in the end Harborough got the idea that his rival was undermining him?"
uva.x000207412	This is something unexpected, is n't it?".
uva.x000207412	To be sure, I did n't take no great notice of he-'cause I was wishing he was n't there at all! ” “ Well — what then? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	To settle down? ” “ I understand that he has, sir. ” Braxfield was wondering what these questions meant, and his face showed his wonder.
uva.x000207412	To whom did you give the pistol?-or to whom did you lend it?
uva.x000207412	To whom did you give the pistol?-or to whom did you lend it?
uva.x000207412	Tretheroe at home? ” demanded Blick.
uva.x000207412	Un- derstand? ” Harry started and looked at his sister.
uva.x000207412	Very well — I suppose I can go upstairs and make ready? ” “ No!"

uva.x000207412	WAS IT ROBBERY?
uva.x000207412	WILLIAM PEGGE 163 It?
uva.x000207412	Was he an English- man?

uva.x000207412	Was the pistol that you've been using given to you by Mr. Harry Markenmore- the pistol that is now in our possession?

uva.x000207412	We"“ Meet anybody- see anybody? ” interrupted Blick.
uva.x000207412	Well,"?
uva.x000207412	Well- aren't you glad to see me? ”.
uva.x000207412	Well-?"
uva.x000207412	Went there first when I was fourteen. ”"Well, that side- door, now?
uva.x000207412	Were n't you very much surprised to see him there? ” “ No, sir, I was n't."
uva.x000207412	Were you all smoking cigars? ”"No,"replied Lansbury.
uva.x000207412	What I mean is you did n't hear any sounds of quarrelling- high voices, or anything of that sort? ” “ Oh no, sir!
uva.x000207412	What about von Eckhard- stein?"
uva.x000207412	What did he come for? ”.
uva.x000207412	What did she want?'
uva.x000207412	What did you find in that?"
uva.x000207412	What do you think he wanted to know, Mr. Fran- 207 208 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY semmery?
uva.x000207412	What does Carter do?
uva.x000207412	What does he do, then?
uva.x000207412	What does she mean? ” growled Blick.
uva.x000207412	What else could I reply? ”.
uva.x000207412	What exactly do you mean by that? ” “ Well, sir, this.
uva.x000207412	What have you to say to that? ” Mrs. Braxfield had paled again, and started visibly at this, and her lips compressed themselves for an instant.
uva.x000207412	What is it? ” 295 296 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY “ I want to speak to you, ” said Daffy.
uva.x000207412	What is it?"
uva.x000207412	What is it?"
uva.x000207412	What sort of a pavement, or path? ” “ Asphaltlaid down recent,"answered Pegge, 162 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY promptly.
uva.x000207412	What time did he come back there, after this? ”.
uva.x000207412	What was he doing?-where was het — in that in- terval?
uva.x000207412	What was he doing?-where was het — in that in- terval?
uva.x000207412	What's the latest development? ” “ The latest development, ” replied Blick, “ is one of which I've only heard within the last few minutes.
uva.x000207412	What, now? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	What?
uva.x000207412	When Guy Markenmore was with you alone, in your house, on Monday night, did he ask you to marry him?"
uva.x000207412	When did you next see him again? ” “ On Monday evening last- two- or three- days ago. ” “ You met him for the first time for seven years?"
uva.x000207412	When did you next see him again? ” “ On Monday evening last- two- or three- days ago. ” “ You met him for the first time for seven years?"
uva.x000207412	When his father died?
uva.x000207412	When you tidied up your parlour, did you find anything, any small article that any of these men might have left?
uva.x000207412	Where did he spend Monday night?
uva.x000207412	Where does it lead, when you get in?"
uva.x000207412	Where had he been? ”"Well, we've gone into that, too!"
uva.x000207412	Where is he?"
uva.x000207412	Where is it? ”.
uva.x000207412	Where?"
uva.x000207412	Who got it?
uva.x000207412	Who is he?
uva.x000207412	Who is he? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	Who is that man? ”"Probably the man his clerk told me about,"answered the Professor.
uva.x000207412	Who told her he was here? ” “ Her coachman had seen him coming here."
uva.x000207412	Who was he?
uva.x000207412	Who were they? ” “ I do n't know, sir."
uva.x000207412	With money at the bottom of it- yes! ” “ Do you mean that he was robbed as well as murdered? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	Wo n't you see him? ” “ No! ” answered Guy sharply.
uva.x000207412	Would you?
uva.x000207412	You ai n't got much forrader, I reckon, since I see'ee last? ”.
uva.x000207412	You did see him again, then?"
uva.x000207412	You hear and you hear, too, Braxfield? ” “ I hear, sir, ” answered the butler.
uva.x000207412	You said:"Was it an automatic pistol that I used, to scare the foxes?'
uva.x000207412	You thought you recog- nized his figure? ” “ Yes, sir.
uva.x000207412	You'll come again soon? ” “ Surely! ” said Harborough.
uva.x000207412	You'll have supper ready for me about eight?"
uva.x000207412	You'll take your own line, eh, Blick? ” “ As at present advised,"answered Blick, with a smile.
uva.x000207412	You'll — you'll let me fetch them down, sir, before you go to bed? ”.
uva.x000207412	You're sure that is the pistol you sold, on that date, to Mr. Harry Marken- more? ” “ There's not the slightest doubt,"replied Waters confidently.
uva.x000207412	You've heard, of course, about this Baron von Eck- hardstein? ”"No,"replied Harborough.
uva.x000207412	You've no idea? ” “ None, ” said Harry.
uva.x000207412	all else would be nothing. ” “ What about self- preservation? ” suggested Blick.
uva.x000207412	at four o'clock in the morning- at Markenmore Hollow?"
uva.x000207412	eh?"
uva.x000207412	have you got it?''
uva.x000207412	of sorts? ”"No,"replied Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	there's a reward out, is n't there? ” “ One hundred pounds,"assented Blick, watching her narrowly.
uva.x000207412	“ A German, I suppose? ” asked the Chief Con- stable.
uva.x000207412	“ A friend of Mrs. Tretheroe ’s?
uva.x000207412	“ A mongrel?
uva.x000207412	“ A particularly favoured one? ” “ Well- yes, I think so."
uva.x000207412	“ A revolver? ” Blick straightened himself, and holding his find in his left hand, turned the full light of the electric torch on it.
uva.x000207412	“ A secret marriage? ” “ Of course! ” exclaimed Valencia.
uva.x000207412	“ A tall man, sir- a good six foot. ” “ Did you recognize his figure as that of anybody belonging to this neighbourhood? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ About that. ” “ You were then Miss Veronica Leighton? ” 6 Yes."
uva.x000207412	“ Abso- lutely! ” “ And you say that Mrs. Tretheroe has a similar ring? ” “ Which she always wears,"said Valencia.
uva.x000207412	“ Ai n't she? ” exclaimed Bill Carver, derisive and contemptuous.
uva.x000207412	“ An obvious question: Has this anything to do with Guy Marken- more's murder? ” “ Ah! ” exclaimed Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ And I believe that you immediately denounced John Harborough as his murderer? ”"I did."
uva.x000207412	“ And all this time, I suppose, Guy Markenmore was in the running, also. ” “ Yes. ” “ Was he asking you to marry him, too? ” “ Oh, yes.
uva.x000207412	“ And at last you thought you'd tell me?
uva.x000207412	“ And has von Eckhardstein anything to do with it?'
uva.x000207412	“ And just as I was finishing my dinner I heard that Sir Anthony was ill, so I came straight across to hear about him?
uva.x000207412	“ And known, until now, to nobody? ” enquired Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ And that's all you know? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ And what about me?
uva.x000207412	“ And what had you on your feet- what sort of shoes? ” “ Pair of old tennis shoes that the housekeeper had given me,"replied Pegge.
uva.x000207412	“ And what is the trouble?"
uva.x000207412	“ And you say that was at about a quarter to two, Tuesday morning? ” “ At all about that, ” affirmed Pegge.
uva.x000207412	“ And you say you advised Margaret Hilson to go and tell this tale to Lawyer Chilford? ” asked Mrs. Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	“ And you're equally positive that after two o'clock he had two men with him? ” “ Certain of it, sir.
uva.x000207412	“ Any luck in your line yet, young man? ” asked Chilford, before they parted.
uva.x000207412	“ Any objection to that? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Any reference to your former relations? ”"No."
uva.x000207412	“ Any- body you know? ” “ A stranger- looks like a tourist, ” said Har- borough.
uva.x000207412	“ Anything else in that pocket- book? ” “ Yes.
uva.x000207412	“ Anything else? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Anything take place? ” “ Yes.
uva.x000207412	“ Are are you Valencia? ” “ Nobody else — that I'm aware of!"
uva.x000207412	“ Are n't there things to be done?-preparations to make? ” she asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Are you James Roper? ” “ My name, mister, ” replied the woodman.
uva.x000207412	“ At once? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ Aye — why? ” muttered Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ Aye?
uva.x000207412	“ Be- fore crowners, and magistrates, and judges at the ’ sizes — are they protected?
uva.x000207412	“ Been walking? ” asked Blick, with a glance at the stranger's knickerbockers.
uva.x000207412	“ Before you tell us about that, will you answer a question which has just occurred to me?
uva.x000207412	“ Besides, who is there, anywhere about here?
uva.x000207412	“ Bit of a tangle, is n't it? ”"I believe'ee, my son!
uva.x000207412	“ Bit stiff, was n't it?".
uva.x000207412	“ But at this time of night? ” said Valencia.
uva.x000207412	“ But in that case, the weapon would have been found close at hand? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ But my coachman, Burton, tells me that he saw him, this evening, coming here? ” she said half- petulantly.
uva.x000207412	“ But that'll be so much Greek to Mr. Fransemmery — you do n't know what he's talking about, Mr. Fransem- mery, do you?
uva.x000207412	“ But why must you go now? ” she asked.
uva.x000207412	“ But — are there?
uva.x000207412	“ But, you realized it then? ” “ I suppose I did.
uva.x000207412	“ But, ” said Blick, “ Harborough said — you re- member his evidence? — that he'd been cured of his-er- passion for you some years ago."
uva.x000207412	“ But- how has he turned up?
uva.x000207412	“ But- money matters? ” suggested Harborough.
uva.x000207412	“ Ca n't say one word more, master. ”"You'll stand by it?"
uva.x000207412	“ Came home today, this very afternoon. ” “ Has he been here? ” demanded Guy.
uva.x000207412	“ Caught you at last, eh, Braxfield?
uva.x000207412	“ Come, Blick?"
uva.x000207412	“ Come, now?''
uva.x000207412	“ Could you distinguish them, one from the other? ” “ Yes, sir.
uva.x000207412	“ Course I do! ” “ Well, and who is Daffy Halliwell?
uva.x000207412	“ Crawley?"
uva.x000207412	“ Daffy Halliwell? ” he answered.
uva.x000207412	“ Dark, then? ” “ Oh, quite dark!
uva.x000207412	“ Did any of your guests — or any of your servants-see him, coming or going? ” “ No one saw him.
uva.x000207412	“ Did he come alone?''
uva.x000207412	“ Did he mention any appointment to you? ” “ Yes — merely to say that he had one- close by. ” THE CORONER SITS 81 “ Close by?
uva.x000207412	“ Did he mention any appointment to you? ” “ Yes — merely to say that he had one- close by. ” THE CORONER SITS 81 “ Close by?
uva.x000207412	“ Did he mention me?"
uva.x000207412	“ Did he or did n't he?
uva.x000207412	“ Did von Eck- hardstein know Markenmore?
uva.x000207412	“ Did you come to the conclusion that one of them had left it there? ” “ Certain of it, sir."
uva.x000207412	“ Did you go to bed? ” “ No, sir, I did not.
uva.x000207412	“ Did you hear any greeting exchanged between them, Grimsdale? ” “ Well, sir, I just heard the strange gentleman say,'Hello, Markenmore!'
uva.x000207412	“ Did you notice anything else about the pipe? ” “ I noticed two things, Mr. Blick — I'm one of those that's given to noticing.
uva.x000207412	“ Did you notice the name or initials of the makers? ” “ Yes, sir.
uva.x000207412	“ Did you see where Markenmore put the money — the bank- notes and the papers you referred to just now? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Did you touch him? ” enquired Blick suddenly.
uva.x000207412	“ Did you write that letter? ” THE INCRIMINATING LETTER 103"I did. ” “ Did you mean what is said in it?"
uva.x000207412	“ Did you write that letter? ” THE INCRIMINATING LETTER 103"I did. ” “ Did you mean what is said in it?"
uva.x000207412	“ Do I see Mr. Blick in the flesh? ” “ You do!!
uva.x000207412	“ Do you know Mr. John Harborough? ” “ Yes, sir_known him ever since he was a boy. ”"Did you see him on Tuesday morning last?"
uva.x000207412	“ Do you know Mr. John Harborough? ” “ Yes, sir_known him ever since he was a boy. ”"Did you see him on Tuesday morning last?"
uva.x000207412	“ Do you know, Braxfield? ” “ I do n't, miss — no, I know nothing on that point.
uva.x000207412	“ Do you mean that literally? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Do you mean that you're going to take me to Selcaster? ” asked Mrs. Braxfield, with suspicious calmness.
uva.x000207412	“ Do you think I have n't thought of that? ” he said.
uva.x000207412	“ Enough to know where your sitting- room was, eh? ”"Well, that's what he said, anyhow,"replied Lansbury.
uva.x000207412	“ Ever hear from him?"
uva.x000207412	“ Every single thing that you found? ” THE RING AND THE PIPE 127 “ Every single thing!"
uva.x000207412	“ For his — and his sister's — satisfaction,"he went on, “ tell me when did you last see Guy Markenmore? ” Harborough, too, looked at Harry.
uva.x000207412	“ From your window?"
uva.x000207412	“ Gone?
uva.x000207412	“ Gossiping about all this, I suppose? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Got any opinion? ” Mr. Crawley glanced at the door and lowered his voice.
uva.x000207412	“ Guy! ” “ Guy?
uva.x000207412	“ Guy!-murdered?
uva.x000207412	“ Had enough of it, eh? ” 52 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY “ He'll not retire while Sir Anthony lives,"an- swered Mrs. Braxfield.
uva.x000207412	“ Had it anything to do with Veronica Leighton, as she was then?-Mrs. Tre- theroe?"
uva.x000207412	“ Had it anything to do with Veronica Leighton, as she was then?-Mrs. Tre- theroe?"
uva.x000207412	“ Has anything — been found out? ” she asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Has he been here?
uva.x000207412	“ Has it been shown to any one since you found it?"
uva.x000207412	“ Has she any following? ” asked Mr. Fransemmery, more dryly.
uva.x000207412	“ Has something happened? ” “ I'd better tell you straight out,"answered the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ Have a cigarette, wo n't you?
uva.x000207412	“ Have any of your men gone away who might have been likely to pick it up? ” “ Nobody's gone away yet, ” replied the sergeant.
uva.x000207412	“ Have we got at the truth of anything? ” asked the Chief Constable a little cynically.
uva.x000207412	“ Have you any idea why my brother Guy left home, and why he's never re- turned?
uva.x000207412	“ Have you examined the contents of those things? ” asked the Coroner.
uva.x000207412	“ He came there? ” “ He came there, sir, at the time I've mentioned."
uva.x000207412	“ He had it on his finger when he left you?"
uva.x000207412	“ He saw two gentlemen at your house?
uva.x000207412	“ He says will you go back to his office? — there's a young man called that he wants you to see.
uva.x000207412	“ He was dead when you found him? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ He's a pure- bred Airedale — the finest breed in the world for- shall we say?-police purposes.
uva.x000207412	“ Heard nothing? ” “ I, sir?
uva.x000207412	“ Heard nothing? ” “ I, sir?
uva.x000207412	“ Highly respectable woman, is n't she? ” Benny sniffed.
uva.x000207412	“ Hope I am not disturbing you? ” said Harbor- ough, as his host led him into the cosy library.
uva.x000207412	“ How do you know he was n't there amongst the deeply- interested audience?
uva.x000207412	“ How does he know? ” demanded Mrs. Braxfield sharply.
uva.x000207412	“ How does that strike you? ” asked Blick presently.
uva.x000207412	“ How now?"
uva.x000207412	“ How? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ I did. ”"What time?"
uva.x000207412	“ I gather that you believe this story about Guy Marken- more's marriage? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ I hope you do n't want me? ” said Lansbury.
uva.x000207412	“ I imagine,"said Mr. Fransemmery at last,"that what we heard just now from Mrs. Tretheroe origi- nally arose out of some early love- affair?
uva.x000207412	“ I mean- you sold it, personally? ” “ I sold it,"assented Waters.
uva.x000207412	“ I meant to stop him as he WAS IT ROBBERY?
uva.x000207412	“ I reckoned up that it was best. ” “ Yes?
uva.x000207412	“ I say! ” “ What? ” asked Blick, whispering too.
uva.x000207412	“ I suppose Guy Markenmore really did treat you badly? ” he suggested.
uva.x000207412	“ I suppose there'd be none of the servants about at four o'clock in the morning? ” enquired Blick, after a moment's thought.
uva.x000207412	“ I suppose von Eckhardstein is a wealthy man?"
uva.x000207412	“ I suppose you thought it was a queer thing- a guest going out of the house at that time of night, did n't you? ” suggested Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ I suppose you'll make a sort of museum?"
uva.x000207412	“ I suppose,"continued Blick, “ that you took a good look at it?"
uva.x000207412	“ I wonder if he's made another discovery? ” Harborough came slowly towards them.
uva.x000207412	“ I wonder if it was bought from anybody about here? ” “ I'm going to enquire into that at once,"answered Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ I wonder?
uva.x000207412	“ I'm certain of that! ” “ Why, now? ” asked the Professor, speaking for the first time since the beginning of the conversation.
uva.x000207412	“ I? ” he exclaimed.
uva.x000207412	“ In that case, you would n't mind? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ Is he to go? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Is that it? ” “ That's it, master! ” replied Carver.
uva.x000207412	“ Is there anything I can do upstairs, miss? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ It had happened, then, just before you got there? ” he said.
uva.x000207412	“ It looks to me as if- but, really, I think that's impossible! ” “ What's impossible? ” demanded Mr. Fransem- mery.
uva.x000207412	“ It was you, was n't it, who examined my brother Guy's clothing and what he had on him?"
uva.x000207412	“ It's difficult, at that time of morning. ” “ Did you form any idea at the time as to who the man was? ” enquired the Coroner.
uva.x000207412	“ Just a mere polite exchange of- nothing in par- ticular? ” “ Just that.
uva.x000207412	“ Late walk, Mr. Blick? ” asked the landlord, with a smile.
uva.x000207412	“ Left for where? ”"That I ca n't exactly say, sir.
uva.x000207412	“ Mean to create a widespread interest, eh? ”"Something of that sort, sir,"answered the bill- poster.
uva.x000207412	“ Miss or Mrs.? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Miss! — What makes you ask? ” “ Just wanted to know, ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Money, sir- money! ” “ Just- how? ” enquired Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Murdered? ” she said.
uva.x000207412	“ Neither then nor at any other time?"
uva.x000207412	“ No possibility of any mistake?
uva.x000207412	“ No- certainly not! ” “ Did you hear the evidence given by Mrs. Brax- field? ” “ I did."
uva.x000207412	“ No?
uva.x000207412	“ Now, Pegge, ” he said a moment later,"an im- portant question- am I the first person to whom you've told this story?".
uva.x000207412	“ Now, Roper, ” he said,"that's the whole truth? ” “ All I know,"answered Roper.
uva.x000207412	“ Now, another question—'What sort of man was the stranger?
uva.x000207412	“ Now, during the seven years of your marriage six years, rather, I think- did you ever meet Har- borough? ” “ Never!"
uva.x000207412	“ Odd, is n't it? ” she added, as, after a moment, during which she turned her hand over, she withdrew it.
uva.x000207412	“ Odd, is n't it? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ Of course, it was dropped in there by somebody who wanted to get rid of it!-how else could it have come there?
uva.x000207412	“ Off? ” enquired.
uva.x000207412	“ On what? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ One of'em, ” continued Pegge,"a tall man- tall as Mr. Harborough?
uva.x000207412	“ Or of him?"
uva.x000207412	“ Or — a year afterwards? ” “ I am not so certain of that. ” “ Or- five years afterwards."
uva.x000207412	“ Out on them and amongst them early in a morning, and perhaps late at night, no doubt? ” Roper made no answer.
uva.x000207412	“ Queer business, is n't it? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Rather high- handed proceedings, eh — to collar Mrs. Braxfield like that, after trying to get her to incriminate herself?
uva.x000207412	“ Rather interesting, after all; I sup- pose you do get a lot of interest in your work, do n't you?
uva.x000207412	“ See anybody about? ” Roper shook his head.
uva.x000207412	“ Since finding these things, Blick, have you shown them to any one? ” “ Yes.
uva.x000207412	“ Sir Anthony's elder son?
uva.x000207412	“ So that's the Inn where the mid- night meeting took place?
uva.x000207412	“ Something to tell? ” he suggested.
uva.x000207412	“ Something wrong?"
uva.x000207412	“ Still meaning to do it, eh?-after seven years? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Still meaning to do it, eh?-after seven years? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Strictly between ourselves — at present, at any rate? ” “ You put it in the precise fashion,"assented the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ Such things can be bought in Selcaster, I suppose?"
uva.x000207412	“ Taking a bit of rest from your Sunday labours, eh? ” he said.
uva.x000207412	“ Talking about servants,"observed Blick, “ do you know Mrs. Tretheroe's maid? ” Pegge smiled.
uva.x000207412	“ That TWO WANDERERS RETURN 13 you?
uva.x000207412	“ That it?''
uva.x000207412	“ The meeting was accidental?"
uva.x000207412	“ The nurse, now?—is there anything she'll be requiring for the night? ” “ I do n't know of anything, Braxfield, thank you,"said Valencia.
uva.x000207412	“ The rest of'em- in bed?"
uva.x000207412	“ Then who done it? ” asked somebody.
uva.x000207412	“ Then you have lived all your life in Markenmore, and know all the people in it? ” “ Yes, sir- and for a good many miles round."
uva.x000207412	“ Then you think Mrs. Tretheroe's something to do with it?"
uva.x000207412	“ Then — who has the Sceptre, now? ” “ Man named Grimsdale, sir- he was groom to Sir James Marchant, formerly.
uva.x000207412	“ Then, the question for me is — is she playing any game now, and if so, what is it? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ There's no doubt about it? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ There's no doubt about the marriage? — its legality, I mean? ” asked Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ There's no doubt about the marriage? — its legality, I mean? ” asked Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ This — hello, what's that? ” The two men stopped, staring at each other.
uva.x000207412	“ This, ” suggested the Coroner, “ could have been a self- inflicted wound? ” “ Certainly, ” replied the witness.
uva.x000207412	“ To whom, may I ask? ” enquired the elder visitor.
uva.x000207412	“ Very constant in attendance upon him, I believe? ” “ Mr.
uva.x000207412	“ Was he wearing that ring when you saw him the other night? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Was n't it from the edge of that little spinney near Markenmore Hollow?
uva.x000207412	“ We have heard — from Sir Harry Markenmore- that his brother spoke of an appointment, which he hurried away to keep?
uva.x000207412	“ We shall leave here at half- past nine. ” “ There's a Mrs. Hamilton there at the Dower House, is n't there? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Well, where did he go? ” “ Down the slope in the direction of his house, sir-Greycloisters."
uva.x000207412	“ Well?
uva.x000207412	“ Well? ” asked Harry, after a pause.
uva.x000207412	“ Well? ” he asked, with a light laugh.
uva.x000207412	“ Well? ” he said.
uva.x000207412	“ Well? ” said Guy.
uva.x000207412	“ Well?".
uva.x000207412	“ What about the ring?
uva.x000207412	“ What can we do?"
uva.x000207412	“ What did you find? ” “ A purse containing seventy- five pounds in notes and gold- mostly five- pound notes.
uva.x000207412	“ What do you mean? ” he snapped out.
uva.x000207412	“ What do you say, Harborough? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ What do you think of that? ” he asked in conclusion.
uva.x000207412	“ What do you want to know? ” “ Well, first of all, ” replied the Chief Constable quietly, “ we better tell you what we do know.
uva.x000207412	“ What do you want? ” Mrs. Tretheroe laughed, and as she laughed she drew her cloak and veil about her.
uva.x000207412	“ What do you want? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ What does he say? ” “ He would rather have postponed it until the funeral is over, ” replied Valencia.
uva.x000207412	“ What does he want? ” she asked.
uva.x000207412	“ What else? ” he said calmly.
uva.x000207412	“ What happened, if you please? ” asked the Cor- oner in matter- of- fact tones.
uva.x000207412	“ What have you to do with it? ” The Chief Constable shook his head.
uva.x000207412	“ What is all this? ” asked the solicitor suddenly.
uva.x000207412	“ What is it, my dear? ” he enquired, as Valencia seated herself.
uva.x000207412	“ What is it?"
uva.x000207412	“ What makes you think that Roper knows some- thing? ” enquired Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ What man? ” asked Dick.
uva.x000207412	“ What mark? ” “ Bit of a cross on the silver band, ” said Grims- dale.
uva.x000207412	“ What might you be after?
uva.x000207412	“ What others?"
uva.x000207412	“ What time was that? ” “ It would be between nine- thirty and ten, as near as I can remember, ” replied Lansbury.
uva.x000207412	“ What time? ” “ I've orders to drive him to Selcaster railway station to catch the 10.8 express to Victoria, ” said Pegge.
uva.x000207412	“ What was it?"
uva.x000207412	“ What were they doing? ” 116 THE MARKENMORE MYSTERY"Walking slowly away from the Sceptre up the road towards Greycloister and Mitbourne, sir."
uva.x000207412	“ What were you doing there, at that time of the morning? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ What were you walking on, yourself, Pegge?
uva.x000207412	“ What — what do you mean? ” she faltered.
uva.x000207412	“ What!-never came back at all? ” “ Never at all, sir!
uva.x000207412	“ What's Blick say?"
uva.x000207412	“ What's to prevent it?
uva.x000207412	“ What's your name? ” enquired Blick, with a smile.
uva.x000207412	“ What, yet?
uva.x000207412	“ What?"
uva.x000207412	“ When — and how? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ When?
uva.x000207412	“ Where did they put their car while they came to the Sceptre? ” asked the Chief Constable.
uva.x000207412	“ Where is he — in the morning- room?"
uva.x000207412	“ Where is he? ” he asked in a sharp whisper.
uva.x000207412	“ Where on earth are you going to put him, Brax- field? ” she said.
uva.x000207412	“ Where was he when you saw him?"
uva.x000207412	“ Where? ” “ Near my house, sir. ” “ Where is your house?''
uva.x000207412	“ Where? ” “ Near my house, sir. ” “ Where is your house?''
uva.x000207412	“ Who came to the front door? ” whispered Harry as they went along the corridor.
uva.x000207412	“ Who can have got it — and why?".
uva.x000207412	“ Who found this man? ” he asked quickly.
uva.x000207412	“ Who had it last?"
uva.x000207412	“ Who is Blick? ” asked Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ Who is he? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Who is she?
uva.x000207412	“ Who on earth should want to murder him?
uva.x000207412	“ Who says you have n't? ” Roper looked somewhat mollified.
uva.x000207412	“ Who should want to carry it off? ” asked Blick with asperity.
uva.x000207412	“ Who told you of the murder — so early? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Who was he? ” Pegge looked with equal closeness at his questioner.
uva.x000207412	“ Who's here? ” asked Harborough, glancing at the lighted windows in front.
uva.x000207412	“ Who's the biggest gossip in the place? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Who?"
uva.x000207412	“ Whose answer was the first? ” he asked abruptly.
uva.x000207412	“ Why are you certain? ” Daffy turned her regard more particularly to the second questioner.
uva.x000207412	“ Why did n't he come forward at the inquest and tell us what Mr. Lansbury has just told us? ” answered Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Why not?
uva.x000207412	“ Why not? ” “ Because I'd heard that he'd got home again, heard it the night before.
uva.x000207412	“ Why not? ” “'Cause that there affair's a darned sight too deep down in mystery!"
uva.x000207412	“ Why should we be? ” demanded Valencia.
uva.x000207412	“ Why — do you know anything? ”"I?
uva.x000207412	“ Why — do you know anything? ”"I?
uva.x000207412	“ Why — who was he?".
uva.x000207412	“ Why, now, are you certain?
uva.x000207412	“ Why? ” “ And if Guy Markenmore did n't tell her — the woman he was going to marry!—why did n't he? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Why? ” “ And if Guy Markenmore did n't tell her — the woman he was going to marry!—why did n't he? ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Why?"
uva.x000207412	“ With whom could it be, Braxfield? ”.
uva.x000207412	“ Would you like to hear what they've got to say? ” “ They would n't talk before me, ” said Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ Yes — he did. ” “ And you replied — what? ” “ I promised him that I would, ” answered Mrs. Tretheroe.
uva.x000207412	“ Yes — very well — once! ” “ How long had you known him?"
uva.x000207412	“ You are sure your brother was wearing this second, odd- looking ring when he left you? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ You attach great importance to this? ” suggested Mr. Fransemmery.
uva.x000207412	“ You do n't know?
uva.x000207412	“ You knew him well, one may say?"
uva.x000207412	“ You know the Mitre Hotel, at Selcas- ter?
uva.x000207412	“ You know what I am, Carver? ” he went on in a low voice.
uva.x000207412	“ You live here- abouts, do n't you? ”"Close by, ” replied Roper, in tones which signified that it was none of Blick's business where he lived.
uva.x000207412	“ You may safely say he is! ” “ Not likely to murder another man for a couple of thousand pounds? ” “ I should say not!"
uva.x000207412	“ You remember selling a Webley- Fosbery auto- matic pistol to Mr. Harry Markenmore? ” he asked, turning to the manager.
uva.x000207412	“ You say you're going to get the early morning train at Mitbourne?
uva.x000207412	“ You think he- that he killed Guy Markenmore in order to get possession of — those? ” he asked, in a low voice.
uva.x000207412	“ You want to see Mrs. Tretheroe?
uva.x000207412	“ You were there, eh? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ You were there? ” asked Blick.
uva.x000207412	“ You'll be sure to let me know if there's anything I can do?
uva.x000207412	“ You'll not forget to send for me if I can ever give any help? ” he continued.
uva.x000207412	“ You're Mr. Cripps, are n't you? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ You're absolutely certain of this, Pegge? ” “ Take my dying oath of it!"
uva.x000207412	“ You're interested in it, sir? ” “ Got to be,"answered Blick laconically.
uva.x000207412	“ You're not- not going to arrest him?"
uva.x000207412	“ You're quite sure, in your own mind, that Roper himself is innocent?''
uva.x000207412	“ You're sure — from what you've seen already- that it's a case of murder? ” he asked at last.
uva.x000207412	“ You're sure, then, of his right? ” he said, turning to Chilford.
uva.x000207412	“ You've never been near us, and never once writ- ten to any of us, for seven years?
uva.x000207412	“ You've not seen or heard of him since he went out of this house at ten- thirty, then, Braxfield? ” he went on, turning again to the old butler.
uva.x000207412	“ Young people anywhere about, Chilford? ” he asked.
uva.x000207412	“ Your assistant? ” “ My assistant! ”"The man who carried your sealed letter to Guy Markenmore? ”"That very man!"
uva.x000207412	“ Your assistant? ” “ My assistant! ”"The man who carried your sealed letter to Guy Markenmore? ”"That very man!"
uva.x000207412	“ Your brother- Guy?
uva.x000207412	“ Your father? ” suggested Valencia.
uva.x000133387	A girl or any girl?
uva.x000133387	A police sort of something?
uva.x000133387	A sort of enquiry agent?
uva.x000133387	A woman crying?
uva.x000133387	About your father?
uva.x000133387	All of you?
uva.x000133387	All that business at the Spanish Steps? uva.x000133387 Am I interrupting your colloquy with Frances?
uva.x000133387	Am I something like a bolt from the blue?
uva.x000133387	And Madame Beuil assists you to stage this litde playlet?
uva.x000133387	And did n't Bergante tell?
uva.x000133387	And has he been lying for you too? uva.x000133387 And his Spanish connections?"
uva.x000133387	And his mother?
uva.x000133387	And if they bring your body on a litter?
uva.x000133387	And lose my tattered shreds of self- respect? uva.x000133387 And what do you think has happened to Bergante now?"
uva.x000133387	And what name did he land under?
uva.x000133387	And what'd you get out of your revolt of the masses? uva.x000133387 And what's going on here, Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	And why is he right?
uva.x000133387	And why should she tell me?
uva.x000133387	And you have been useful to her?
uva.x000133387	And you knew of him?
uva.x000133387	And you knew that Bergante had been killed?
uva.x000133387	And you patrolled the grounds while Lecchino sat on the stairs, to prevent me having any conversation with Bergante?
uva.x000133387	And you still stayed on in your room for some time after that?
uva.x000133387	And you think that Izinir can pay a holiday visit to Rome without attracting the attention of your police?
uva.x000133387	Another cup? uva.x000133387 Anthony, are you frightened of me?
uva.x000133387	Anthony, do you seriously think I could drag Lady Bessie away from a prospect of trouble?
uva.x000133387	Anthony, what are we going to do?
uva.x000133387	Anthony, what has happened?
uva.x000133387	Anthony, what were you doing on the terrace?
uva.x000133387	Anthony, what's the matter?
uva.x000133387	Anthony? uva.x000133387 Any chance of screwing it out of you if I weep on your doorstep?"
uva.x000133387	Anything from Madrid?
uva.x000133387	Anything wrong, Grant? uva.x000133387 Are you alive and whole, Warner?"
uva.x000133387	Are you quite certain that Bergante has left the premises, Flannagan?
uva.x000133387	Are you staying?
uva.x000133387	Are you tired?
uva.x000133387	At the house- party? uva.x000133387 Been out in the weather?"
uva.x000133387	Been visiting?
uva.x000133387	Before what?
uva.x000133387	Bergante? uva.x000133387 Bergante?
uva.x000133387	But how could he do that?
uva.x000133387	But how could he hurt you?
uva.x000133387	But how could your friends do that?
uva.x000133387	But how did you come here then?
uva.x000133387	But how did you manage plaits, in an age so given to the shears?
uva.x000133387	But how on earth did we get to it so soon? uva.x000133387 But how was I to know what those dragons would lead to?
uva.x000133387	But it was the bag you went to see first?
uva.x000133387	But what about the authorities here? uva.x000133387 But what use?"
uva.x000133387	But why need it trouble you? uva.x000133387 But why the sneeze?"
uva.x000133387	But why was he afraid? uva.x000133387 But why?
uva.x000133387	But why?
uva.x000133387	But you knew that he was Bergante when he came in here last night with Warner?
uva.x000133387	By the Left or the Right?
uva.x000133387	Can we gather a four? uva.x000133387 Can you swim?
uva.x000133387	Could you get any?
uva.x000133387	Counting sheep?
uva.x000133387	Did Cheviot go near the Consulate at Barcelona to report himself or check through or ask for assistance?
uva.x000133387	Did he come back for them?
uva.x000133387	Did he ever talk to you of his daughter?
uva.x000133387	Did he save very many people?
uva.x000133387	Did he take his bags with him this morning?
uva.x000133387	Did n't Bergante tell before he died?
uva.x000133387	Did n't you see anyone at all about while you were swimming?
uva.x000133387	Did n't you? uva.x000133387 Did she teach you to swim, by any chance?"
uva.x000133387	Did the light go on at all? uva.x000133387 Did the police bring the diving- suit?"
uva.x000133387	Did they keep any details of the inspection?
uva.x000133387	Did you find Flannagan then?
uva.x000133387	Did you find Marie Beuil? uva.x000133387 Did you have any luck?"
uva.x000133387	Did you know her father?
uva.x000133387	Did you know that you had a cobweb on your shoul- der?
uva.x000133387	Did you say that Warner was staying up at the Beuil's place?
uva.x000133387	Did you see anybody else out there while you were communing with the stars?
uva.x000133387	Did you talk to her last night? uva.x000133387 Do I call you Miss Cheviot or not?"
uva.x000133387	Do I have to elope with somebody or merely commit a murder?
uva.x000133387	Do I look as appalling as that? uva.x000133387 Do n't we all?"
uva.x000133387	Do you always run across Italy before bed?
uva.x000133387	Do you care for rose gardens?
uva.x000133387	Do you dislike him as much as that?
uva.x000133387	Do you expect Bergante to tell you?
uva.x000133387	Do you know Emily? uva.x000133387 Do you know him?"
uva.x000133387	Do you like her?
uva.x000133387	Do you mean that someone has been punctured with a stiletto?
uva.x000133387	Do you mean that?
uva.x000133387	Do you mind if I sit, Frances? uva.x000133387 Do you mind quiet week- ends?
uva.x000133387	Do you remember me now?
uva.x000133387	Do you remember my name?
uva.x000133387	Do you think I am a fool?
uva.x000133387	Do you think I'd have been loitering since if I had?
uva.x000133387	Do you think you could ever have been really serious about the clarionet?
uva.x000133387	Do you usually take off your shoes to think? uva.x000133387 Does Michele believe that his father was murdered by Bergante?"
uva.x000133387	Does it matter very much? uva.x000133387 Does this interest you?
uva.x000133387	Does this sound horrible to you from his daughter?
uva.x000133387	Employed?
uva.x000133387	Fellow named Bergante?
uva.x000133387	Flannagan in?
uva.x000133387	Flannagan,he said,"what is Marie Beuil's concern in this?"
uva.x000133387	Footsteps on the terrace?
uva.x000133387	For friends to peck at? uva.x000133387 For the last time,"said Izinir, who had stiffened per- ceptibly,"will you or will you not do what I ask?"
uva.x000133387	Frances, I'm probably being a boor, a lout, a clout, a churl and a silly ass, but why do n't you tell me what the trouble is?
uva.x000133387	Frances, why, in the middle of the night, did it occur to you to go and look at that bag?.
uva.x000133387	Frances, you realise what it means? uva.x000133387 Frances,"he said,"what's the trouble?"
uva.x000133387	Friend of the girl's?
uva.x000133387	Going swimming?
uva.x000133387	Good lord, how does a drivelling pen- pusher like you get invitations from Marie Beuil?
uva.x000133387	Got any data on it?
uva.x000133387	Had n't you met him before?
uva.x000133387	Had she met him before?
uva.x000133387	Had you known him, yourself?
uva.x000133387	Has Bergante sent for it?
uva.x000133387	Has he seen anyone in Rome?
uva.x000133387	Has it? uva.x000133387 Has that light been burning all the time?"
uva.x000133387	Has the baggage gone?
uva.x000133387	Have n't you done anything about it at all?
uva.x000133387	Have n't you written a book or two yourself?
uva.x000133387	Have you a hand to play? uva.x000133387 Have you been here before?"
uva.x000133387	Have you been living lately in London?
uva.x000133387	Have you been taking snapshots with an X- ray? uva.x000133387 Have you ever heard, Metro,"he said through the open door,"of a Spanish writer named Bergante?"
uva.x000133387	Have you got your trousers on? uva.x000133387 He did try to blackmail you, then?"
uva.x000133387	He is in?
uva.x000133387	He was more or less asking for trouble, eh?
uva.x000133387	He was put ashore in a small boat, was n't he, Izinir?
uva.x000133387	Hear anyone?
uva.x000133387	Heard anyone charging about the house in odd fash- ion?
uva.x000133387	Hell's bells,he said,"are you going to make a story out of this, Grant, for your blasted paper?"
uva.x000133387	Her father?
uva.x000133387	Here, how much do you know of this?
uva.x000133387	Here,said Grant,"how far is your window from mine?"
uva.x000133387	His passport and his police- card and that sort of thing?
uva.x000133387	How can one be sure? uva.x000133387 How come?"
uva.x000133387	How could he do that without another passport?
uva.x000133387	How could one get that bar out of the water? uva.x000133387 How did she know that Bergante would come up that way?"
uva.x000133387	How did they meet?
uva.x000133387	How did you happen to see him? uva.x000133387 How did you know of that when you went to Bergante's room?
uva.x000133387	How did you know that I had gone? uva.x000133387 How do you feel, Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	How do you know that I usually hang about here in the evenings?
uva.x000133387	How do you know that?
uva.x000133387	How else did people get out?
uva.x000133387	How long have you known Marie Beuil?
uva.x000133387	How long was it before you went to his room?
uva.x000133387	How long?
uva.x000133387	How long?
uva.x000133387	How long?
uva.x000133387	How many bags did Bergante have in his room?
uva.x000133387	How many people get into Palestine every year without passports? uva.x000133387 How much does Frances know of all this?"
uva.x000133387	How much lunch do you want?
uva.x000133387	How should Frances know?
uva.x000133387	How should I know? uva.x000133387 How should I know?"
uva.x000133387	How well do you know Bergante?
uva.x000133387	How?
uva.x000133387	How?
uva.x000133387	Hullo,he said,"is this a surprise party?
uva.x000133387	Hullo,he said,"taking your evening constitutional?"
uva.x000133387	Hullo,said Warner breezily,"not in bed?"
uva.x000133387	I can understand his taking the money,said Frances,"but why your clothes?
uva.x000133387	I may use the telephone,he said,"from my bedroom?"
uva.x000133387	I say, who is this coming to join us? uva.x000133387 I wonder whether you'd mind fetching me a pair of pants if I walk up to the terrace with you, Grant?
uva.x000133387	If anything happens to you, you mean?
uva.x000133387	Ignition key in it?
uva.x000133387	In surf?
uva.x000133387	Insurance?
uva.x000133387	Is it less my business than yours, then?
uva.x000133387	Is it, by gum?
uva.x000133387	Is she?
uva.x000133387	Is that Lady Bessie?
uva.x000133387	Is that picture in a safe?
uva.x000133387	Is that why you're here, because you knew Cheviot?
uva.x000133387	Is this a private conversation or can anyone join in?
uva.x000133387	Is this a story to tell Frances?
uva.x000133387	Is this house filled with spies?
uva.x000133387	Is this some blasted story you are inventing?
uva.x000133387	It is annoying, is n't it, to have one's Rome interrupted by casual acquaintances? uva.x000133387 It's you, is it?
uva.x000133387	Izinir and Warner?
uva.x000133387	Just making a call?
uva.x000133387	Keeping tags on the traffic?
uva.x000133387	Killed in the war before next, was n't he? uva.x000133387 Lady Bessie, how did Rupert Cheviot die?"
uva.x000133387	Lately? uva.x000133387 Lay an information with the police?
uva.x000133387	Lecchino, what actually were you doing outside just now? uva.x000133387 Like a drink?"
uva.x000133387	Listening?
uva.x000133387	Look here, what's up?
uva.x000133387	Making a round of visits?
uva.x000133387	May I bring in M. Emisolous,said Warner,"a gentleman from Greece?"
uva.x000133387	Me? uva.x000133387 Me?
uva.x000133387	Metro, what chance would a man have of getting into this country on a false passport?
uva.x000133387	Michele's very good- looking, do n't you think?
uva.x000133387	Mind if I draw this covert, Warner? uva.x000133387 Mind if I look at your shoes?"
uva.x000133387	Mind if we come in?
uva.x000133387	Mind if we talk a bit?
uva.x000133387	Mr. Grant,said Izinir,"have you ever earned in a few minutes a large amount of money or have you always been an honourable man?"
uva.x000133387	My dear Grant, why should I threaten you?
uva.x000133387	My good chap, what is this?
uva.x000133387	No indication of anything odd, peculiar, of anything wrong?
uva.x000133387	No, why?
uva.x000133387	Now how did you know about her?
uva.x000133387	Now what put that into your head?
uva.x000133387	Now, what did you want with Bergante's identification papers?
uva.x000133387	Oh dear,she said,"do you think that Mr. Warner is in his shorts too?"
uva.x000133387	Oh lord, where is the man? uva.x000133387 Oh, one does, does n't one, in Rome?"
uva.x000133387	Okay?
uva.x000133387	Old ladies shown up?
uva.x000133387	One of those casual encounters, eh? uva.x000133387 Out of the house?"
uva.x000133387	Patrolling the terrace? uva.x000133387 Penelope, twenty years on?
uva.x000133387	People on my paper? uva.x000133387 Remembering that portrait,"said Grant, looking up at it again,"do you think it was only cynicism?"
uva.x000133387	Run? uva.x000133387 Several of your people have already been expelled, have n't they?"
uva.x000133387	Shall I be overheard,said Izinir,"on other lines in the house?"
uva.x000133387	She does swim well, does n't she? uva.x000133387 She was against calling the police?"
uva.x000133387	Sheep?
uva.x000133387	Ship- owners?
uva.x000133387	Show me the way to the lake, will you?
uva.x000133387	So Frances was sent to hold me in conversation? uva.x000133387 So I have been told,"she said, and chuckled, and as he raised his brows again,"Now, now, it does n't matter who tells me things, does it?"
uva.x000133387	So it was your agent that you telephoned last night?
uva.x000133387	So you knew that the gentleman from Greece was Bergante all the time?
uva.x000133387	Someone told you that in the middle of the night?
uva.x000133387	Sugar? uva.x000133387 That's his room, is n't it?"
uva.x000133387	The Spaniards did n't have any note of his departure?
uva.x000133387	The foreign gentleman?
uva.x000133387	The man has a certain right tovhis nomme- de- guerre, has n't he? uva.x000133387 The man who sobbed?"
uva.x000133387	The only way to get at one's real value is to depreciate a great deal, do n't you think? uva.x000133387 The thing that he put into her eyes?"
uva.x000133387	Then whoever it was knew his way about here?
uva.x000133387	Then whose were the shoes that I found on the terrace? uva.x000133387 Then you heard it too?"
uva.x000133387	Then you will do what I ask?
uva.x000133387	They do seem to recur in your conversation, do n't they? uva.x000133387 Things do seem to come and go about here, do n't they?"
uva.x000133387	This does seem to be rather a habit of ours, does n't it?
uva.x000133387	Trouble?
uva.x000133387	Waiting for someone?
uva.x000133387	Was Bergante interested in your search? uva.x000133387 Was Cheviot a familiar in the house?"
uva.x000133387	Was he an old man?
uva.x000133387	Was he ever caught?
uva.x000133387	Was he that sort of Englishman?
uva.x000133387	Was it on while you were in the water?
uva.x000133387	Was it? uva.x000133387 Was n't it?
uva.x000133387	Was she born an Italian then?
uva.x000133387	Well, what do Englishmen do? uva.x000133387 Well, what's her interest?"
uva.x000133387	Were the lights on?
uva.x000133387	Were you ever in Spain?
uva.x000133387	Were you in Spain when the war broke?
uva.x000133387	Were you lying j ust now about his identification papers?
uva.x000133387	Were you trying to catch a cold, by any chance?
uva.x000133387	What about you, Anthony?
uva.x000133387	What are his interests?
uva.x000133387	What are they doing?
uva.x000133387	What are you doing in Rome on a fine Sunday?
uva.x000133387	What are you doing in Rome yourself?
uva.x000133387	What are you doing in Rome?
uva.x000133387	What are you doing?
uva.x000133387	What are you going to do?
uva.x000133387	What d'you mean by that, Grant?
uva.x000133387	What did she say?
uva.x000133387	What did you get out of Bergante?
uva.x000133387	What did you have in your pockets, Flannagan?
uva.x000133387	What did you think that you heard?
uva.x000133387	What do you mean by that?
uva.x000133387	What do you mean, what is that about the police?
uva.x000133387	What do you mean?
uva.x000133387	What do you mean?
uva.x000133387	What do you think, Anthony?
uva.x000133387	What do you want?
uva.x000133387	What do you wonder?
uva.x000133387	What does he mean by a killer?
uva.x000133387	What else do I do for the money?
uva.x000133387	What else?
uva.x000133387	What happened to him?
uva.x000133387	What happens then? uva.x000133387 What has become of him now?"
uva.x000133387	What have these other people to do with it, Warner and Lecchino?
uva.x000133387	What have we today?
uva.x000133387	What have you been doing?
uva.x000133387	What have you done with Bergante?
uva.x000133387	What have you done with Bergante?
uva.x000133387	What have you got?
uva.x000133387	What if I did?
uva.x000133387	What initials did you find? uva.x000133387 What is Bergante doing here?"
uva.x000133387	What is going to happen here?
uva.x000133387	What is happening?
uva.x000133387	What is her name?
uva.x000133387	What is it to you how Rupert Cheviot died?
uva.x000133387	What is it?
uva.x000133387	What is love? uva.x000133387 What is the connection between Cheviot and Ber- gante?"
uva.x000133387	What next?
uva.x000133387	What nonsense, what intolerable nonsense is this?
uva.x000133387	What of Frances?
uva.x000133387	What of it?
uva.x000133387	What on earth are you doing here?
uva.x000133387	What on earth do you do?
uva.x000133387	What on earth have you been doing since I saw you last?
uva.x000133387	What persuaded you to take her home?
uva.x000133387	What prompted you to go to Rome this morning, Lady Bessie?
uva.x000133387	What the devil is Izinir doing in Italy?
uva.x000133387	What the devil is it doing open then?
uva.x000133387	What was Mr. Flannagan trying to harden when he went walking without his trousers? uva.x000133387 What was your previous association with him, Izinir?"
uva.x000133387	What were you doing there?
uva.x000133387	What's become of the car?
uva.x000133387	What's the butler doing?
uva.x000133387	What's the matter with that man's head?
uva.x000133387	What's the matter, Mr. Flannagan? uva.x000133387 What's the matter?"
uva.x000133387	What?
uva.x000133387	When did he run?
uva.x000133387	When did this come?
uva.x000133387	When did you see him last?
uva.x000133387	When she walked into the room and mentioned vaguely that Bergante was gone?
uva.x000133387	Where are the trousers?
uva.x000133387	Where can I find you?
uva.x000133387	Where did he land?
uva.x000133387	Where did you hear what?
uva.x000133387	Where does Frances come in? uva.x000133387 Where is Lecchino?"
uva.x000133387	Where is Madame Beuil's room?
uva.x000133387	Where is he if he is not in his room?
uva.x000133387	Where the passport inspection is not very rigid?
uva.x000133387	Where was he?
uva.x000133387	Where were you educated?
uva.x000133387	Where were you?
uva.x000133387	Where'd you learn that crawl?
uva.x000133387	Which of his names did he sail under?
uva.x000133387	Which of your thinks?
uva.x000133387	Who are the deserving?

uva.x000133387	Whose money?
uva.x000133387	Why all these questions?
uva.x000133387	Why am I here? uva.x000133387 Why are you sure?"
uva.x000133387	Why did Frances tackle me on the Spanish Steps?
uva.x000133387	Why did you take Bergante's bags back to his room?
uva.x000133387	Why do n't you come in?
uva.x000133387	Why do n't you go to bed? uva.x000133387 Why do n't you two go and walk in the rose garden?
uva.x000133387	Why do you ask that now?
uva.x000133387	Why do you want a whirlwind?
uva.x000133387	Why is it annoying?
uva.x000133387	Why not?
uva.x000133387	Why odd?
uva.x000133387	Why should he take it in that particular line of march?
uva.x000133387	Why should she have seen him before?
uva.x000133387	Why should she have told me?
uva.x000133387	Why should you turn yellow when I mention Frances singing? uva.x000133387 Why, Anthony?"
uva.x000133387	Why,she said promptly,"have you taken a dislike to Michele?"
uva.x000133387	Why? uva.x000133387 Why?"
uva.x000133387	Why?
uva.x000133387	Will you smoke a cigar?
uva.x000133387	Wo n't you both sit here? uva.x000133387 Would you commit an indiscretion if I got you drunk?"
uva.x000133387	Would you like to swim before dinner?
uva.x000133387	Write books too? uva.x000133387 Yeh, I did lock the bathroom, did n't I?"
uva.x000133387	Yes, but was it Cheviot? uva.x000133387 Yes, did n't you know?
uva.x000133387	You are a complicated person, are n't you, Anthony?
uva.x000133387	You are going to telephone?
uva.x000133387	You came down with the Beuil then?
uva.x000133387	You did n't go to his room yourself?
uva.x000133387	You did n't yell or anything?
uva.x000133387	You do n't happen to represent the Pinkerton Agency, do you?
uva.x000133387	You have been enjoying the air?
uva.x000133387	You have n't seen Lecchino about, by any chance?
uva.x000133387	You have n't seen anything of Lady Bessie or Madame Beuil?
uva.x000133387	You knew it was Bergante, did n't you?
uva.x000133387	You know that he's dead then?
uva.x000133387	You remembered his bag so well that you recognised it again as soon as you saw it?
uva.x000133387	You think that someone else got away on Cheviot's passport?
uva.x000133387	You went to see if Bergante had skipped back to his room in Rome?
uva.x000133387	You were hit? uva.x000133387 You were what?"
uva.x000133387	You'd been out?
uva.x000133387	You're on the right side in this, Grant? uva.x000133387 You've never met before?"
uva.x000133387	You've realised at last that your father is dead, have n't you?
uva.x000133387	Your suit has n't come back then?
uva.x000133387	.?"
uva.x000133387	120 SUNDAY MORNING 121"Yes, but when did you last see him?"
uva.x000133387	138 ENTER THREE WITCHES"Flannagan, how did you know Rupert Cheviot's bag when you saw it?"
uva.x000133387	140 ENTER THREE WITCHES"Dead?"
uva.x000133387	16 ENTER THREE WITCHES"Oh, but did n't you know that hair grows in the grave?"
uva.x000133387	222 ENTER THREE WITCHES thing:"Could a man need a wig and still grow a beard?
uva.x000133387	236 ENTER THREE WITCHES"What was the count?
uva.x000133387	80 ENTER THREE WITCHES"They are outside, are they?"
uva.x000133387	Am I making him clear to you, both of them clear to you?"
uva.x000133387	And I am still going to marry you, are n't I?"
uva.x000133387	And after all these years?"
uva.x000133387	And did n't I say something about lifebelts or water- wings?
uva.x000133387	And had they all guilty consciences?
uva.x000133387	And his beard?
uva.x000133387	And how many of them do our very efficient coppers catch?
uva.x000133387	And if he did, what of the iron bar?
uva.x000133387	And she is frightfully intelligent, which is the sort of wife you need, do n't you?
uva.x000133387	And the'girl'oppo^r^turiietfih htr chair and watched him with aft; almost?"
uva.x000133387	And to watch my face?"
uva.x000133387	And what did you do with my shoes, Warner?"
uva.x000133387	And what was it in her voice that suddenly chilled him, chilled the air of that warm room?
uva.x000133387	And why were Flannagan's suit and his own shoes stuffed into the portmanteau?
uva.x000133387	And why?"
uva.x000133387	Anthony Grant, is n't it?
uva.x000133387	Anthony, do you mean that something has happened to her?"
uva.x000133387	Anthony, what are you thinking of us... of her, and me?"
uva.x000133387	Anthony, what is it doing to its head?"
uva.x000133387	Anthony, you know what we have been thinking of Ber- gante?"
uva.x000133387	Any luck in that ward- robe, Lecchino?"
uva.x000133387	Any of the servants with a particular dislike for you?"
uva.x000133387	Anyhow, why do n't you denounce him yourself and save your cash?"
uva.x000133387	Are n't I quoting something?"
uva.x000133387	Are n't we just talking?
uva.x000133387	Are we going out, Anthony?
uva.x000133387	Are you angry about that?"
uva.x000133387	Are you going to make a police matter of 66 ENTER THREE WITCHES it, Flannagan?
uva.x000133387	Are you perfectly sure that it was only the wind?"
uva.x000133387	Are you sure about that?"
uva.x000133387	Are you threatening me, by any chance?"
uva.x000133387	At some luncheon, was it?
uva.x000133387	Because it is a love affair, is n't it?
uva.x000133387	Because you did not want it to be known that you had talked with Bergante, and because Signor Lecchino was on the stairs?"
uva.x000133387	Block my ears?
uva.x000133387	But had she gone up to join the con- ference or to eavesdrop?
uva.x000133387	But have n't I stated the case fairly?
uva.x000133387	But how could he have stolen them if my father had not been dead?
uva.x000133387	But how many doors distant was it?
uva.x000133387	But if Lecchino had been keeping his watch on the stairs, how had Warner gone out without seeing him?
uva.x000133387	But if the bags had come through the window, why had the door been forced?
uva.x000133387	But it could n't possibly be Lady Bessie, could it?
uva.x000133387	But it is n't an easy name to remember, is it?
uva.x000133387	But newspaper work has its own fascination, has n't it?
uva.x000133387	But was she expecting Romeo?"

uva.x000133387	But we ca n't even think of any- one except Frances, so it is, is n't it?
uva.x000133387	But what had become of Marie Beuil after that?
uva.x000133387	But what had happened here?
uva.x000133387	But what had terrified him?
uva.x000133387	But where did the passage from this side door enter?
uva.x000133387	But where had he grown the beard?
uva.x000133387	But where is the intake?"
uva.x000133387	But which of them had since been on the road?
uva.x000133387	But who had made the report to them?
uva.x000133387	But who had switched off the light, for Fran- IN THE NIGHT 83 ces was still lugging something, pulling and tugging here below?
uva.x000133387	But who knew that he was coming to Rome?
uva.x000133387	But who?
uva.x000133387	But whose was the other place?
uva.x000133387	But why all this skipping in and out of windows?
uva.x000133387	But why am I a particularly suitable person for the job?
uva.x000133387	But why did Lecchino have the house under what he imagined was observation?
uva.x000133387	But why did he?
uva.x000133387	But why had Flannagan, Izinir, or anyone else bothered to bring back Bergante's bags?
uva.x000133387	But why had the girl come to him tonight, and why had she lied to make an excuse for talking to him?
uva.x000133387	But why should you be dragged into it further?"
uva.x000133387	But why should your glass be dark?"
uva.x000133387	But you will be tame in the house, wo n't you, Anthony?
uva.x000133387	By the way, you have been in Spain, have n't you?
uva.x000133387	Ca n't you get'em to settle down to a little steady crap- shooting or something, under your eye?"
uva.x000133387	Can you understand all that?"
uva.x000133387	Could Izinir then whistle it up at will, or had he an ally who lowered and raised the ladder to his convenience?
uva.x000133387	D'you happen to have brought any cigarettes down with you?"
uva.x000133387	D< d you want to meet him?"
uva.x000133387	Did I hear you?"
uva.x000133387	Did anyone go to bed at Feroce or did its inhabitants all spend their nights popping up and down ladders?
uva.x000133387	Did he get away from Spain on one of your ships?"
uva.x000133387	Did he pop out of bed and lend a hand?"
uva.x000133387	Did he tell you that he used to fight bulls?"
uva.x000133387	Did he tell you that his father rode with Custer?"
uva.x000133387	Did he throw that into the lake, too?"
uva.x000133387	Did he?"
uva.x000133387	Did n't Frances tell you that?"
uva.x000133387	Did n't he hunt with the East- down?
uva.x000133387	Did n't you?"
uva.x000133387	Did she put pressing questions?"
uva.x000133387	Did the alli- ance extend, on the left wing, to Izinir?
uva.x000133387	Did they all feel a purpose undisclosed?
uva.x000133387	Did you know, Izinir, that Bergante had run?"
uva.x000133387	Did you scare him off?"
uva.x000133387	Did you see the things I saw or was I only seeing things?"
uva.x000133387	Did you tear your trousers last night?"
uva.x000133387	Did you tell her about your suit?"
uva.x000133387	Did you want to go through his pawn tickets or his private correspondence or his old dance- programmes or what?"
uva.x000133387	Do I look the sort of bloke who goes round pitching people into quad?"
uva.x000133387	Do n't mean to say that they are the hares, what?"
uva.x000133387	Do n't they say that the children of drunkards always detest drink?
uva.x000133387	Do n't you know her?
uva.x000133387	Do n't you remem- ber?
uva.x000133387	Do n't you remember?"
uva.x000133387	Do we fight for them or can we negotiate?'
uva.x000133387	Do you always carry a torch about with you?"
uva.x000133387	Do you hear me, young Grant?
uva.x000133387	Do you imagine that he is going to be chatty about that?"
uva.x000133387	Do you just sit here all night or do you occasionally go to bed?"
uva.x000133387	Do you know Lady Bessie?
uva.x000133387	Do you know any of those really old families that are neither noble nor very rich but count back through immemorial generations?
uva.x000133387	Do you know him?"
uva.x000133387	Do you make much money?"
uva.x000133387	Do you mind if I go inside?"
uva.x000133387	Do you mind if we have several little bookies?"
uva.x000133387	Do you mind very much?"
uva.x000133387	Do you think that Flannagan was as conscious as he claims to have been when you came through the door?"
uva.x000133387	Do you think you can get things under way?
uva.x000133387	Do you usually carry a torch when you walk in your sleep?"
uva.x000133387	Does Signor Lecchino know of this?"
uva.x000133387	Does one look at the world only through one's own glass?"
uva.x000133387	Does the Madame keep any- thing valuable here?"
uva.x000133387	Does the weir have to be opened?"
uva.x000133387	During the war?"

uva.x000133387	EXCURSION TO ROME 151 know that this man was a Spaniard and not a Greek?"
uva.x000133387	EXCURSION TO ROME 153"You mean he has left here?"
uva.x000133387	Each trying to explain to a listening world that you, at least, know noth- ing of the strange disappearance of the interesting Greek?
uva.x000133387	FINALE 261"Were the lights on when you found it?"
uva.x000133387	Finished, Fran- ces?
uva.x000133387	Flannagan, what's become of Bergante?"
uva.x000133387	Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	Frances, once and for all, will you get out of this?
uva.x000133387	Frances, will you please me and go back to the house?"
uva.x000133387	Frances, would n't you like that drink?
uva.x000133387	Frances?
uva.x000133387	Friend of yours, Grant?"
uva.x000133387	Get me?"
uva.x000133387	Getting a trifle disturbed, are you?
uva.x000133387	Good lord, man, who reported it?
uva.x000133387	Got her on your files at the consulate?"
uva.x000133387	Grant reflected sourly that he was not even positive of that"Yes, I know, but what did he do?"
uva.x000133387	Grant?"
uva.x000133387	Grant?"
uva.x000133387	Had everyone gone off to bed in this last hour?
uva.x000133387	Had he only delayed to hear this rigmarole?
uva.x000133387	Had n't Napoleon said that the Surete travelled on its stomach?
uva.x000133387	Had she covered that neatly, or was he merely developing a lot of silly suspicions?
uva.x000133387	Had she gone quietly off to bed and left her guests to their capers?
uva.x000133387	Had she looked once like that at the artist?
uva.x000133387	Had she, by any chance, been outside his window herself?
uva.x000133387	Has he seen anyone official?"
uva.x000133387	Has it, by any chance, something to do with his Greek passport?
uva.x000133387	Has there been any more talk of that business in Tunis?"
uva.x000133387	Have I a cigar?"
uva.x000133387	Have another Scotch?"
uva.x000133387	Have another sherry?
uva.x000133387	Have you a headache?"
uva.x000133387	Have you any preference in clergymen, by the way?
uva.x000133387	Have you been very busy?
uva.x000133387	Have you had any?"
uva.x000133387	Have you located your mysterious lady yet?
uva.x000133387	Have you looked about the grounds?
uva.x000133387	Have you noticed that?
uva.x000133387	Have you quite forgotten?"
uva.x000133387	Hawker, if I spill a few beans, will you refrain from gathering them in a can and taking them to the police?"
uva.x000133387	He almost shouted,"Is that you, Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	He can hardly be persona grata in Italy?"
uva.x000133387	He felt that the others, too, were watching and listening, and why were they uneasy?
uva.x000133387	He has gone, has n't he?
uva.x000133387	He is n't here, is he?"
uva.x000133387	He saw her face now in the full, and if a girl who looked like something of Luini's wished to claim his acquaintance, who was he to deny her?
uva.x000133387	He was curious about the effects of a sudden cough or a gruff,"Who's there?"
uva.x000133387	How could I have known about the window?"
uva.x000133387	How did Bergante's bags go back to his room unless he took them?
uva.x000133387	How did you know that?"
uva.x000133387	How do you do?
uva.x000133387	How do you expect me to take any pride in your appearance if you stay up all night?"
uva.x000133387	How do you know, Anthony, that the murderer returned to the house?"
uva.x000133387	How long after Bergante had passed down the stairs did you hear voices?"
uva.x000133387	How long has he been here?"
uva.x000133387	How long were you down?"
uva.x000133387	How much money?"
uva.x000133387	How well, Grant, do you know Miss Alice?"
uva.x000133387	How'd Bergante have known about that, anyhow?"
uva.x000133387	How?"
uva.x000133387	Hullo, hullo, hullo, what have you done to your head, Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	I am accustomed to say,'How much?'
uva.x000133387	I do n't believe that heredity has anything to do with these things, do you?
uva.x000133387	I mean, your tele- gram could n't have meant anything less, could it?
uva.x000133387	I say, which is your name?"
uva.x000133387	I suppose it is only about thirty or forty feet, is n't it?"
uva.x000133387	I'm not denying it, but what evidence did I leave behind?"
uva.x000133387	IN THE NIGHT 71 What was he up to now?
uva.x000133387	IN THE NIGHT 77 What did one do now?
uva.x000133387	If I say what has just come into my head, shall I read my words in print the next time I pick up your bleeding rag?"
uva.x000133387	If Lady Bessie has come back, or Marie Beuil, why would they leave the Bentley in the drive and run off into the night?"
uva.x000133387	If a man wishes to pass a pleasant holi- day in Italy, why should he be prevented?
uva.x000133387	If a woman of my age can not tell the truth, when can it be told?
uva.x000133387	If he liked to call himself that impossible Greek name, why should n't he?
uva.x000133387	If one walked in one's sleep in unfamiliar houses, did one bump into things?
uva.x000133387	In fact, why not stay to dinner, now that you've shed your plaits?"
uva.x000133387	Is he lying or is he not?
uva.x000133387	Is n't it something I can join in?
uva.x000133387	Is she?"
uva.x000133387	Is that Mr. Hawker's residence?
uva.x000133387	Is that it?"
uva.x000133387	Is that silly to you?
uva.x000133387	Is that why you want him chucked into clink?"
uva.x000133387	Is there any- thing very curious about that?"
uva.x000133387	Is there something wrong with it?
uva.x000133387	It is a long way round to walk through the house and somebody has left a ladder con- veniently near, so we laughed, and I said,'Why not?'
uva.x000133387	It is, eh?
uva.x000133387	It rather includes the particular cases, does n't it?"
uva.x000133387	It read: My dear Mr. Grant, Would you care to come to Castello Feroce for the week- end?
uva.x000133387	It's been what?
uva.x000133387	It's getting dark, is n't it?"
uva.x000133387	It's my business and obligation to con- s'192 ENTER THREE WITCHES Why should I pay for his silence when I am indifferent to his noise?"
uva.x000133387	Izinir?"
uva.x000133387	Izinir?"
uva.x000133387	Jolly old wet- weather game, eh?
uva.x000133387	Knock on the door and ask if he might join the party?
uva.x000133387	Lady Bessie, why did you go to Bergante's room in Rome this morning when you were supposed to be at church in the village?"
uva.x000133387	Lecchino?
uva.x000133387	Like'em locked in the coal cellar?"
uva.x000133387	Looks pretty grim, does n't it?
uva.x000133387	Marie Beuil smiled and leaned backwards from the light; was she the witch who mixed the brew?
uva.x000133387	Meanwhile, what of the fellow who had removed the ladder in the first place?
uva.x000133387	Merely as an agent of the Beuil?"
uva.x000133387	Mr. Hawker?
uva.x000133387	Mr. Warner talks about them, does he?"
uva.x000133387	No dirty work attached, Grant?"
uva.x000133387	Now, what about running along and packing your things?"
uva.x000133387	Now, what are his chances?"
uva.x000133387	Of course, he could have grown it in Spain, but did he have time?"
uva.x000133387	Oh dear, is it actually ten years?"
uva.x000133387	Oh, will you take brandy?"
uva.x000133387	One could hardly expect that all the ghosts of Spain were laid: but why had this particular ghost been shown to him?
uva.x000133387	Or could it?
uva.x000133387	Or did he just observe your operations with more than friendly interest?"
uva.x000133387	Or did something in the girl provoke her?
uva.x000133387	Or had someone else gone up to Mr. Bergante?
uva.x000133387	Or is all this the be- ginning of what is called settlement by negotiation?"
uva.x000133387	Or is this some new sort of game?
uva.x000133387	Or the shippers'money or the Spanish Government's money or... by gum, where did I hear that?"
uva.x000133387	Or was it a thousand?"
uva.x000133387	Patience on a monument?"
uva.x000133387	People do have more than one name sometimes, do n't they?"
uva.x000133387	Playing ducks and drakes?"
uva.x000133387	Reported already?
uva.x000133387	Rifle Brigade, was n't he?"
uva.x000133387	Run?
uva.x000133387	SCALA DI SPAGNA 23"And why not?
uva.x000133387	SCALA DI SPAGNA 9"Why did n't I take you to dinner sometime?"
uva.x000133387	SUNDAY MORNING 129"How do you do?"
uva.x000133387	Seriously wrong?"
uva.x000133387	Shall I continue?"
uva.x000133387	Shall I hammer at your door?"
uva.x000133387	Shall I write to Frances?
uva.x000133387	Somebody else was pussyfooting, eh?"
uva.x000133387	Someone playing Juliet to a loitering Romeo?
uva.x000133387	THE SECOND EVENING 223"Blood?"
uva.x000133387	That almost makes you an accessory, does n't it?"
uva.x000133387	That had been earnestly meant, but what did she mean by it?
uva.x000133387	That he walked out of Barcelona into noth- ingness?"
uva.x000133387	That will be much more fun, do n't you think?"
uva.x000133387	The point'is, do you know her?
uva.x000133387	The roses are strong, are n't they?
uva.x000133387	Then you do n't really mind me speaking to you like this?
uva.x000133387	Then- why all this pretence?
uva.x000133387	They have such good weather for it there, of course,""For fish?"
uva.x000133387	They stood watching one another; and then she said:"What is it that you are afraid to say to me?"
uva.x000133387	They're your shoes, are they?"
uva.x000133387	Thinking of taking out a policy while there's time?"
uva.x000133387	Those whispering voices, did you think they were in the house or outside your window?"
uva.x000133387	To the lake?
uva.x000133387	Tor me?"
uva.x000133387	Turned the staff out to look?"
uva.x000133387	WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT 101"May I go now?"
uva.x000133387	Warner?"
uva.x000133387	Was Bergante fool enough to give you his address when you were having your acrobatic interview last night?"
uva.x000133387	Was he expected to spill the beans or was he not?
uva.x000133387	Was he really a Texas Ranger once?"
uva.x000133387	Was he waiting for you, do you think?"
uva.x000133387	Was he wrong, and had Bergante returned, after all, from Feroce?
uva.x000133387	Was it a symptom of their general disquiet?
uva.x000133387	Was n't it because he knew that he would desert her, knew that she knew it?
uva.x000133387	Was n't that the root of the matter in Spain?"
uva.x000133387	Was n't your previous acquaintance mutually profitable?
uva.x000133387	Was she gunning for Izinir then?
uva.x000133387	Was she just an in- strument of Marie Beuil's?
uva.x000133387	Was she signalling to him?
uva.x000133387	Was that it?"
uva.x000133387	Was that only a casual ques- tion?
uva.x000133387	Was that the meaning of Warner's heartiness?
uva.x000133387	Was that what Frances had meant when she had said that the trouble was not only hers to tell?
uva.x000133387	Was that what Mr. Hawker at the Consulate told you?"
uva.x000133387	Was that why she had gone that way?
uva.x000133387	Was that, by any chance, Bessie's intention?
uva.x000133387	We had been shipwrecked, had n't we?
uva.x000133387	Well, anyhow, you thought the noises worth investigating?"
uva.x000133387	Were you wandering about the house at that hour?"
uva.x000133387	What I MR. FLANNAGAN'S ADVENTURE 257 am asking you is this,"Grant almost shook the'phone to pieces,"who reported it and when?
uva.x000133387	What about you, Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	What about you, Frances Alice?"
uva.x000133387	What are the prospects of a flood?"
uva.x000133387	What are you doing in newspapers?
uva.x000133387	What are you fellows doing?
uva.x000133387	What are you really doing in Rome?"
uva.x000133387	What became of Marie Beuil's baby?"
uva.x000133387	What did he care for Spain or its king?
uva.x000133387	What did we do on the raft, though?"
uva.x000133387	What did you mean in your telegram about our plumbing?
uva.x000133387	What did you say to him last night, Izinir?
uva.x000133387	What did you say?
uva.x000133387	What do we do next?"
uva.x000133387	What do you mean exactly by papers?
uva.x000133387	What do you mean?
uva.x000133387	What do you mean?"
uva.x000133387	What do you think, young Grant?"
uva.x000133387	What do you want?
uva.x000133387	What does one do?
uva.x000133387	What else could I do after your story?"
uva.x000133387	What else did Bergante say to Marie Beuil?"
uva.x000133387	What exactly was his role?
uva.x000133387	What has she in her mind, Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	What have you been doing?"
uva.x000133387	What in heaven's name were you swim- ming for at this time of night?"
uva.x000133387	What is it that you know?
uva.x000133387	What on earth have you been doing, man?"
uva.x000133387	What sent you to Bergante's room?"
uva.x000133387	What use are newspapers?
uva.x000133387	What was Bergante to you, Izinir?
uva.x000133387	What was it that Shakespeare said of Hamlet?
uva.x000133387	What was one to do with it?
uva.x000133387	What was that about II Duce laying bricks...?"
uva.x000133387	What were the things that soothed one here, in spite of the contemporary clamour of politics and politicians?
uva.x000133387	What would be the prospects?"
uva.x000133387	What'd you expect me to do?
uva.x000133387	What're you getting at, Grant?"
uva.x000133387	What's it all about, Grant?
uva.x000133387	What's that under your bed?"
uva.x000133387	What?
uva.x000133387	When did you last see Ber- gante?"
uva.x000133387	Where are the other guests?
uva.x000133387	Where are your shoes?"
uva.x000133387	Where are yours?"
uva.x000133387	Where did Bergante live in Rome?"
uva.x000133387	Where did he ac- quire his false passport?"
uva.x000133387	Where did the butler say that the Bentley was?"
uva.x000133387	Where did you learn to dive?"
uva.x000133387	Where is she?"
uva.x000133387	Where the deuce can they have got to?
uva.x000133387	Which way should he go?
uva.x000133387	Who else is up there?"
uva.x000133387	Who else took them?"
uva.x000133387	Who had come here then in his place?
uva.x000133387	Who is Warner?"
uva.x000133387	Who was he, anyhow, to interest himself in whatever interested Frances?
uva.x000133387	Who was it that shinned up the drain- pipe?"
uva.x000133387	Who was the girl?
uva.x000133387	Who were they, and why had Marie Beuil left those places set?
uva.x000133387	Who would ordinarily recognise it?
uva.x000133387	Who's with you?
uva.x000133387	Who's your host?"
uva.x000133387	Whom had he recognised, if not Grant, or as well as Grant?
uva.x000133387	Why ca n't stones He neatly in their beds?
uva.x000133387	Why ca n't you he neatly in your bed?
uva.x000133387	Why did I get an invitation within sixty minutes of your leaving me at the Spanish Steps?
uva.x000133387	Why did Marie Beuil pick at her like that?
uva.x000133387	Why did you chase me like that?"
uva.x000133387	Why did you climb a ladder, anyhow?
uva.x000133387	Why did you take your evening pumps off to climb the ladder, though?"
uva.x000133387	Why did you think that it was a woman you heard?"
uva.x000133387	Why do n't you both come and stay with us for a week or two?
uva.x000133387	Why do you ask?"
uva.x000133387	Why does my humble lunch interest you when you could be gorging in the hills?"
uva.x000133387	Why not a showdown at once?
uva.x000133387	Why should Bergante throw his wig into the lake?
uva.x000133387	Why should Cheviot want to disap- pear?
uva.x000133387	Why should anyone who must grunt and scramble want to climb through balcony windows when there are passageways and doors?
uva.x000133387	Why should you wait?"
uva.x000133387	Why the hell should I fall down because the lights go out?
uva.x000133387	Why was a woman with such weight of cannon spending her ammunition on Bergante's little bumboat?
uva.x000133387	Why were you eavesdropping on Bergante's balcony?"
uva.x000133387	Why, did I look like... who would I look like if I were waiting for someone?"
uva.x000133387	Why, how do you mean?"
uva.x000133387	Why?
uva.x000133387	Why?"
uva.x000133387	Why?"
uva.x000133387	Will you ask me some other evening?"
uva.x000133387	Will you gentlemen excuse us?
uva.x000133387	Will you?"
uva.x000133387	With Flannagan?"
uva.x000133387	Wo n't you have this chair, Miss Frances?"
uva.x000133387	Would n't it be too frightful if all this was a mis- take and it was n't Frances at all?
uva.x000133387	Would n't you like to make some use of me?"
uva.x000133387	Would you have noticed if it had?"
uva.x000133387	Would you like a drink?
uva.x000133387	Would you like a drink?"
uva.x000133387	Would you like me to look under your bed?"
uva.x000133387	Would you suggest, sir, that I make some further search?"
uva.x000133387	Writer, are n't you?"
uva.x000133387	Yet supposing it was someone of whom Frances stood in fear, in danger?
uva.x000133387	Yet what did the girl herself know?
uva.x000133387	Yet what had Bergante wanted with Flannagan's suit and his own shoes?
uva.x000133387	You are an inquisitive person, are n't you?"
uva.x000133387	You are positively certain that it was Bergante who went down the stairs?"
uva.x000133387	You can call one of your friends in the Bureau or your friends'friends, ca n't you?
uva.x000133387	You can follow her line?
uva.x000133387	You do know a lot about Spain, do n't you?
uva.x000133387	You do n't feel an overwhelming urge to rush off to the police, do you?"
uva.x000133387	You do n't know?
uva.x000133387	You do stick to your story, do n't you?"
uva.x000133387	You ever sing round a camp- fire in the evening, Grant?"
uva.x000133387	You have already been persuaded to identify him, have n't you?"
uva.x000133387	You have heard of Jane Wild, of course?"
uva.x000133387	You have n't a wife and three children, have you?"
uva.x000133387	You mean that you did n't just fall?"
uva.x000133387	You said that Warner was an insurance cove, did n't you?"
uva.x000133387	You under- stand me?"
uva.x000133387	You understand me?
uva.x000133387	You're not doing any strong- arm stuff for the boss, are you?"
uva.x000133387	You're taking rather a lot on yourself, are n't you?"
uva.x000133387	Your men of the people?
uva.x000133387	caught anything yet?"
uva.x000133387	got it right?
uva.x000133387	he said,"or do you just like the draught?"
uva.x000133387	just not talk?
uva.x000133387	said Lecchino,"and what are we looking for?"
uva.x000133387	was he caught too?"
uva.x000133387	was n't there a lady who played something in a band at Juan?"
uva.x000133387	what are you talking about?"
uva.x000133387	what is his name?
uva.x000133387	what was his name, now?
uva.x000133387	why did n't you speak then?"
uva.x000133387	you do n't, do you?
uva.x000133387	you've been in the water?"
wu.89004395331	What can old Mascarot do?
wu.89004395331	A foundling? wu.89004395331 Ah! ” rejoined the count, who felt certain of his friend's fidelity,"you do not pretend to say that the Baron de Clinchan has spoken?'
wu.89004395331	And what about the second time? ” “ Ah! wu.89004395331 And who was with her? ” “ Her maid, Mademoiselle Modeste. ” “ Did mademoiselle say where she was going? ” “ No, Madame la Comtesse."
wu.89004395331	And who was with her? ” “ Her maid, Mademoiselle Modeste. ” “ Did mademoiselle say where she was going? ” “ No, Madame la Comtesse.
wu.89004395331	By ten o'clock, they were all pretty tipsy, and then what do you think they did? wu.89004395331 Do you mean to insult me, Monsieur André?"
wu.89004395331	Have you already finished?
wu.89004395331	He accepted the insult without a wink? wu.89004395331 No; but then he was so much excited. ” “ Do you think so, madame?
wu.89004395331	Paul? ” “ Yes, sir.
wu.89004395331	Shall I warn the dressmaker to be in readiness? wu.89004395331 Tantaine? ” “ A mere nickname, no doubt.
wu.89004395331	Well, then, it was the Marquis de Croisenois. ” “ The brother of that Croisenois who disappeared so strangely twenty years ago?
wu.89004395331	What has been stolen? ” he asked. wu.89004395331 What is it?"
wu.89004395331	What is the matter, dear father? ” she asked. wu.89004395331 What will be the conclusion, then? ” “ People will do me the honour to believe —"“ No, people will do you no honour whatever, Clotilde.
wu.89004395331	Where the devil did Croisenois pick up this fellow? wu.89004395331 Why did you not tell the truth? ”"What good would it have done?
wu.89004395331	Why did you not tell the truth? ”What good would it have done?
wu.89004395331	Will he be here? ” “ Perhaps — it's his day; but he's not by any means regular. wu.89004395331 Will he come? ”."
wu.89004395331	You are exaggerating- you are surely deceiving yourselves. ” “ What?
wu.89004395331	''mean, sir?"
wu.89004395331	* And you went? ” “ Yes, fortunately for me.
wu.89004395331	* Come, ” said Beaumarchef at last, “ do you really wish for a situation? ” “ Yes.
wu.89004395331	** Worthless, do you say?"
wu.89004395331	, What amount do you demand?"
wu.89004395331	- What does he make in this way? ” “ You ask me too much, sir, but I should say that it ought to be three or four hundred francs a month."
wu.89004395331	107 you think?
wu.89004395331	139 “ Not do?
wu.89004395331	145 us? ” With B. Mascarot, indeed, it was difficult, if not impossible, to divine exactly his object or intentions.
wu.89004395331	225 “ Have you given your lesson? ” “ Yes, I have just left Madame Grandorge.
wu.89004395331	66 Panl. ” “ Nothing more? ” “ Well sir, he's generally called Paul, and nothing else.
wu.89004395331	71 “ What would I do? ” cried André, with delirious exultation.
wu.89004395331	85"And you made no attempt at denial, at defence? ”.
wu.89004395331	After all, what does it really matter to us whether Mademoiselle de Mussidan marries De Croise- nois or De Breulh, or any one else?
wu.89004395331	After giving André her hand, she slowly took off her bonnet, handed it to Modeste, and then inquired, “ How do I look, my friend?"
wu.89004395331	Ah, well, how should we two live then?
wu.89004395331	Ai n't it disgusting?
wu.89004395331	Am I not here?
wu.89004395331	Am I not ready to serve you?
wu.89004395331	Am I your master's intimate friend or not?
wu.89004395331	Among the foolish dolls around me, who dress, and chatter, and talk slang, and imitate the women of the demi- monde?
wu.89004395331	And Rose? ” interrupted André; “ you bring me good news of her, I hope.
wu.89004395331	And did she go to her lodgings? ” “ Not she!
wu.89004395331	And how could her marriage affect her father and his friend?'
wu.89004395331	And how, pray?
wu.89004395331	And now, marquis, I think you will understand the nature and object of our associa- tion?"
wu.89004395331	And now, what do you think of the idea? ” “ I think it excellent; but in what respect am I indispensable?"
wu.89004395331	And now, what do you think of the idea? ” “ I think it excellent; but in what respect am I indispensable?"
wu.89004395331	And she is ill, is she?
wu.89004395331	And then why was André so carefully dressed?
wu.89004395331	And then?
wu.89004395331	And was lie, Paul, to be a mere instrument in Mascarot's hands?
wu.89004395331	And what kings?
wu.89004395331	And what shawl?
wu.89004395331	And when the wood and bread have gone?"
wu.89004395331	And why this peculiar introduction?"
wu.89004395331	And why?
wu.89004395331	And you will keep your word, dear papa, will you not?
wu.89004395331	Are there not companies which pay, and pay well, for th names and titles they print at the head of their prospectuses?"
wu.89004395331	Are we not utterly wrecked?"
wu.89004395331	Are you crazy? ” asked the count.
wu.89004395331	Are you going to have ideas at this time of life? ” Beaumarchef looked vastly important.
wu.89004395331	Are you ill? ” “ I am simply preoccupied, which is excusable on the eve of a decisive battle,"answered Mascarot.
wu.89004395331	Are you not, sir, in charge of the sculpture on his new house?
wu.89004395331	Are you satisfied?"
wu.89004395331	Are you still thinking of Rose?"
wu.89004395331	Are you sure of that? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	Are your references satisfactory? ” These words were spoken with such mechanical rapidity that one might have supposed them learned by heart.
wu.89004395331	As he left his house he saw an empty cab, but he did not think of taking it; for could the miserable horse move as swiftly as his strong young limbs?
wu.89004395331	As he perceived the door open he bawled at the top of his voice: “ What fool is coming to disturb me now?"
wu.89004395331	Besides, what could you do with so much money?"
wu.89004395331	But after a moment, she exclaimed, in astonishment, “ How do you happen to know it?"
wu.89004395331	But could he expose his devoted friend Clinchan, already so compromised, to the consequences a refusal might entail?
wu.89004395331	But could he possibly venture on such a course?
wu.89004395331	But did n't I do quite as much as you towards putting the agency on its present prosperous footing?
wu.89004395331	But do you know what he did last week?
wu.89004395331	But do you know what the rascal wanted?"
wu.89004395331	But have you seen his visiting cards?
wu.89004395331	But then what could I do?
wu.89004395331	But then, what means could she devise?
wu.89004395331	But what could I do about it?"
wu.89004395331	But what did Father Tantaine care for Melusin's opinion?
wu.89004395331	But what happened?
wu.89004395331	But who will tell me that these papers are not forged?
wu.89004395331	But why should n't I marry him to one of those heiresses who bring a million or two in their aprons to the man who touches their hearts? ”"Alas!"
wu.89004395331	But you have told us nothing after all, Clotilde; what has really happened?"
wu.89004395331	Ca n't you ask De Croisenois for that wretched bill? ” M de Breulh hesitated.
wu.89004395331	Can it be that the marquis is stronger and wiser than I have hitherto fancied?"
wu.89004395331	Can not we two so com- bine our energies as to ward off the storm?"
wu.89004395331	Can this new match be a more brilliant one?
wu.89004395331	Can you drive a nail into a board without a hammer?
wu.89004395331	Can you get this sum together in a couple of hours?
wu.89004395331	Can you guess where it comes from?
wu.89004395331	Come, has n't anything of the kind ever happened?"
wu.89004395331	Come, now, who on earth would believe it to be a loan?
wu.89004395331	Did he propose to patronize André, and thus make his own superiority of position and fortune all the more apparent?
wu.89004395331	Did he say nothing?'
wu.89004395331	Did her husband know of the letters which had been stolen from her?
wu.89004395331	Did n't Van Klopen's proceedings strike you as very odd? ” “ Monstrous, sir; revolting!
wu.89004395331	Did n't he bring an action against Madame de Reversay?"
wu.89004395331	Did you mean to seduce her, or did you think of asking for her hand in marriage? ” “ I swear to you, madame.
wu.89004395331	Dismiss me?
wu.89004395331	Do I know him? ”"No, madame.
wu.89004395331	Do n't you ever read the Gazette des Tribunaux?
wu.89004395331	Do n't you know your own home? ” Paul listened with his mouth wide open, as if confronting some mystery.
wu.89004395331	Do n't you think I ever eat before I met Mascarot?
wu.89004395331	Do n't you think my conclusion corret? ” “ It is logical, unquestionably.
wu.89004395331	Do n't you understand that I have no right to trifle in this way with my reputation?
wu.89004395331	Do n't you understand, that with one word from you I can live on hope?"
wu.89004395331	Do n't you understand?
wu.89004395331	Do you forget that our future- our marriage depend on your rapid success?"
wu.89004395331	Do you imagine that I, the head of a mere employment office, can have weight enough to start such a company as I suggest?
wu.89004395331	Do you know him?'
wu.89004395331	Do you know we're not the only folks who are watching Caroline?"
wu.89004395331	Do you know what I've allowed him here?
wu.89004395331	Do you know what becomes of them?
wu.89004395331	Do you know what he dared to tell me?
wu.89004395331	Do you know what he said to me the last time he was here?
wu.89004395331	Do you know what he would find there? ” “ Enough! ” muttered Catenac; “ I surrender."
wu.89004395331	Do you mean the man who was to have married Mademoiselle Sabine?"
wu.89004395331	Do you really suppose that I, Nicolas Gandelu, ever named my son Gaston?
wu.89004395331	Do you really take me for a fool?
wu.89004395331	Do you really think me an idiot?
wu.89004395331	Do you recall what I said?
wu.89004395331	Do you remember my words?
wu.89004395331	Do you think I do n't under- stand your trickery?
wu.89004395331	Do you think he would limit his demands?
wu.89004395331	Do you think that I am going to work like a dog, lose my sleep and all that, for a mere thank you?
wu.89004395331	Do you understand why I spent two hours this morning explain- ing to you the plan of a couple of operations I have in view?"
wu.89004395331	Do you understand? ” Mascarot became very attentive.
wu.89004395331	Do you want proof of what I say?"
wu.89004395331	Do you wish to pay his debts, and his mortgages, defray all his expenses, and gratify all his extravagant tastes?
wu.89004395331	Does her husband know that she has an account here?"
wu.89004395331	Does n't it work now smoothly and noiselessly like a perfect machine?
wu.89004395331	Father Tantaine was no longer listening, “ Is that all? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	For some days you have been watching a woman named Caroline Schimmel. ” “ I? ” “ Yes, my innocent son- you!
wu.89004395331	Go on, Beaumar- So you have found her? ” “ Yes, thanks to an idea that came to me. ” “ Pshaw?
wu.89004395331	Go on, Beaumar- So you have found her? ” “ Yes, thanks to an idea that came to me. ” “ Pshaw?
wu.89004395331	God said to Cain, “ What hast thou done with thy brother Abel?"
wu.89004395331	Had any one, before, ever been circumstanced as he was?
wu.89004395331	Had he not heard the easel moved and the curtain drawn?
wu.89004395331	Had he not, only the evening before, envied the lot of those who earned their bread by the sweat of their brows?
wu.89004395331	Had her husband referred to the Marquis de Croisenois?
wu.89004395331	Had this friend of his, this Charles, answered yes?
wu.89004395331	Half of life is a sealed book to young unmarried ladies, and how can a novel be worth anything that deals only with half of life?
wu.89004395331	Has n't he a clear head?
wu.89004395331	Has n't he even told you in what hospital the child was placed? ”.
wu.89004395331	Has there been a robbery committed?"
wu.89004395331	Have I explained myself clearly? ” Alas, yes!
wu.89004395331	Have I not occasioned him sufficient suffering already?
wu.89004395331	Have n't they the most infamous methods always at work? ” “ I had judged you rightly, ” remarked B. Mascarot.
wu.89004395331	Have n't we as much penetration and judgment as they have?
wu.89004395331	Have n't we succeeded in impart- ing a commercial aspect to our operations?
wu.89004395331	Have you any special objection to Monsieur de Croisenois?"
wu.89004395331	Have you ever listened to the voice of conscience?
wu.89004395331	Have you ever suffered from hunger, Monsieur le Marquis?"
wu.89004395331	He had reached the spot!-and now, how should he go to work to obtain the information he wanted?
wu.89004395331	He hesitated; what could be the reason of this hesitation after all he had said?
wu.89004395331	He lightly accented the “ our. ” “ Mademoiselle de Mussidan is really ill? ” “ Alas! ” “ Did you see her? ” asked the baron.
wu.89004395331	He lightly accented the “ our. ” “ Mademoiselle de Mussidan is really ill? ” “ Alas! ” “ Did you see her? ” asked the baron.
wu.89004395331	He sighed deeply, as he answered, “ How is it possible for you not to please him?"
wu.89004395331	How can I compare you?
wu.89004395331	How can a portrait be painted( in any vay to be recognisable) of half a face?
wu.89004395331	How can the letters have been stolen?
wu.89004395331	How can they have done that? ” Father Tantaine looked discouraged.
wu.89004395331	How can we wait?"
wu.89004395331	How can you have been so audacious?
wu.89004395331	How did he know who he was, unless he had seen him before?
wu.89004395331	How did such a large sum happen to be in this old raggamuffin's possession?
wu.89004395331	How did the divine Aretino, who so proudly called himself the scourge of princes, earn his living, if you please?
wu.89004395331	How did this annuity reach your mother? ” “ Through a notary in Paris. ” 24 THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395331	How did you discover him, and how do you intend to bring him here without arousing his suspicions? ” Her father smiled a kindly smile.
wu.89004395331	How do you get on with your Count de Mussidan? ”.
wu.89004395331	How had he obtained this note?
wu.89004395331	How much do you want for these papers? ” Mascarot had assumed the aggrieved air of an honest man, wrongly sus- pected.
wu.89004395331	How much? ” THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395331	How was it possible for them to be stolen?"
wu.89004395331	I am a contractor for ornamental sculpture; will you be my apprentice?'
wu.89004395331	I am allowed to stand there from morn- ing till night, frozen on one side and baked on the other; and what do I earn?
wu.89004395331	I ask you if that's a name for a Christian woman?
wu.89004395331	I asked myself if I had better beg for a few sous, or spring at the throat of the first man I saw and demand his purse?
wu.89004395331	I asked myself what drama it was that I had just witnessed?
wu.89004395331	I conceived both schemes simultaneously, and they shall both of them succeed or fail,""“ Then you persist?"
wu.89004395331	I discouraged?
wu.89004395331	I found out her address, and since then I have had her followed. ” “ And what do you expect to make out of her?"
wu.89004395331	I merely wish to ask you if you would know this girl again?'
wu.89004395331	I noticed the cigar in his mouth was n't lighted, so up I go, strike a match and say,'Have a light, prince?'
wu.89004395331	I shall ac- cept them, and then we sball have him safe! ”"A little forgery, eh?
wu.89004395331	I'm straight, and square, and fair- Zora-- a fine name, do n't you think so?
wu.89004395331	I?
wu.89004395331	If I'm in such spirits it's for a more serious reason. ” “ Would it be indiscreet to ask what that might be?"
wu.89004395331	If he obtains Sabine's hand how will he do so?
wu.89004395331	If she were still improving, what could he have to fear?
wu.89004395331	In what fire do you con- sume your banknotes, that not even their ashes can be found?
wu.89004395331	Indeed, if I followed my inclination, I should enter a complaint-", 6 What are you thinking of? ” interrupted Madame de Mussidan.
wu.89004395331	Instead of engrossing at your desk, you did what?
wu.89004395331	Is it the gout, father, or business worry?"
wu.89004395331	Is it to rile poor people?'"
wu.89004395331	Is it what I suspect?
wu.89004395331	Is n't it lucky now? ” Mascarot shrugged his shoulders.
wu.89004395331	Is she as pretty as ever? ” to Just the same,"answered Paul, indifferently.
wu.89004395331	Is that a reason?"
wu.89004395331	Is this true?
wu.89004395331	It is a very good place to be in; do n't you think so? ” “ I do indeed."
wu.89004395331	It is n't his fault if he never knew his father or mother. ”"What's his profession? ” “ He's an artist.
wu.89004395331	It was absurd, was n't it?
wu.89004395331	It was n't much, eh, Monsieur le Marquis?
wu.89004395331	Magnificent creatures are they not?
wu.89004395331	Men will say to each other, “ What do you think Croisenois is up to now?
wu.89004395331	Might I not be able to turn this stolen secret to account?
wu.89004395331	Mother Butor! ” “ What's up? ” asked the old hag in the kitchen.
wu.89004395331	Naturally, I slipped behind a pillar and watched. ” “ But this is not what you call a certainty, is it?"
wu.89004395331	Not after all you told me when you went out this morning? ” 6.
wu.89004395331	Now is this possible?
wu.89004395331	Now think it over. ” “ My first lesson? ” “ Call it a rehearsal, my lad, if you choose.
wu.89004395331	Now what has become of the duc's former servants?
wu.89004395331	Now why does he do that?
wu.89004395331	Now, are you convinced in your own mind that Sabine loves me?"
wu.89004395331	Now, how long can we live on three francs?
wu.89004395331	Now, suppose a man gained possession of all of these secrets?
wu.89004395331	Now, what happens?
wu.89004395331	Now, where can you go in your swallow tails without an overcoat?
wu.89004395331	Now, who do you think this person was?
wu.89004395331	Octave, ” she cried, “ why did you not speak sooner- if you knew?
wu.89004395331	Of course you are; but am I to blame for the inequality of our fortunes?
wu.89004395331	Our good man is naturally disturbed; for what would the neighbours and the concierge say?
wu.89004395331	Paul's words in no way surprised Mascarot; but did they please him?
wu.89004395331	Paul, it was a test — will you forgive me?
wu.89004395331	Perpignan, therefore, was the first to speak, “ How did it happen, that you learned of my little estab- lishment? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	Reaching her apartment by this time, Rose called impatiently, “ Are you never coming? ”."
wu.89004395331	Resistance from Paul? ” B. Mascarot shrugged his shoulders disdainfully.
wu.89004395331	Rose was not listening- indeed what did she care for the explanation?
wu.89004395331	Shall I show it you?"
wu.89004395331	She looked at him and answered, earnestly: “ Silly- perhaps so; but why do you call me unhappy?"
wu.89004395331	Should I be here, if I thought that everything was lost?
wu.89004395331	So off I started; and on entering the church what did I see?
wu.89004395331	So saying she handed me a note. ” “ And you read it?"
wu.89004395331	Some fine day the meshes of my net may snap, and some of the prey escape — and what then?
wu.89004395331	Suppose this man took a notion into his head to turn up the earth round the well at the bottom of the garden?
wu.89004395331	Suppose you fail, for instance; what would the goods be sold for?
wu.89004395331	That you were a fool, eh?
wu.89004395331	The dandy answered:'You promise positively?'
wu.89004395331	The duke and the duchess have a secret, of this there is no doubt; but what is this secret?
wu.89004395331	The rascals write that they have every proof"“ Where is this letter?"
wu.89004395331	Then what do you wish me to do, sir? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	Then, ” said she, “ you think I shall please himn? ” The “ him ” was Paul Violaine, as the banker knew right well.
wu.89004395331	There is some secret, which we must know, for we can not work in the dark. ” “ Do you wish me to go to the Mussidan's? ” asked the doctor.
wu.89004395331	These letters will be given to my husband if I do not consent to what?
wu.89004395331	This argument struck home, for the doctor started and exclaimed: “ But you do n't mean you think he'd betray us? ”.
wu.89004395331	This examination availed him little, and the count half rose, as he asked, “ Whom do you wish to see, sir?
wu.89004395331	This worthy man was Jean Lantier, the father of my present master. ” “ But your painting? ” “ Oh, that came much later.
wu.89004395331	To arrive at Fortune by the road to Glory?
wu.89004395331	Told you what?
wu.89004395331	Try to do me harm, and you fall with me! ” “ Are you quite sure of that?"
wu.89004395331	Upon my honour-"“ Upon your honour?
wu.89004395331	Van Klopen engaged, is he?
wu.89004395331	Very well — isn't that sufficient proof that there is some secret between the count, the countess, and their daughter?
wu.89004395331	Very well- shall I advance you your first month's salary? ” with which words he proferred a thousand franc note, drawn from his strong box.
wu.89004395331	Was he aware of the influence which had been brought to bear upon her?
wu.89004395331	Was he hesitating?
wu.89004395331	Was he over- whelmed?
wu.89004395331	Was he still alive?
wu.89004395331	Was it an allusion?
wu.89004395331	Was n't I as penniless as you when we began together?
wu.89004395331	Was n't it a mere scrap of paper which had been wrapped round a candle, that enabled Canler to ferret out the band of the Rue Saint Denis?
wu.89004395331	Was n't it a thimblefull of cigar ashes found on a mantleshelf that betrayed Corvinsi to M. Lecoq?
wu.89004395331	Was n't our anguish of the same kind- he at a loss for a hundred thousand francs — and I for a hundred sous?
wu.89004395331	Was there really some insurmountable obstacle to the plans which Mascarot had matured?
wu.89004395331	We could help him. ” “ And what would that lead us to?
wu.89004395331	We do n't propose to help yon?'
wu.89004395331	Well now, go and look for the child and shawl, and you'll find nothing at all. ” “ Then it was you, you who carried them off?"
wu.89004395331	Well, at last, I should un- questionally come on some one who would answer me, “ Yes, I remember?'
wu.89004395331	Well, how did you succeed, Beaumar? ” “ We have got her, sir,"he answered triumphantly.
wu.89004395331	Well, what then?
wu.89004395331	Were our revelations to Croisenois mere words?"
wu.89004395331	Were they an allusion to André?
wu.89004395331	Were they not well fed, well lodged and regularly paid?
wu.89004395331	What abyss was he being led to, what mire must he cross?
wu.89004395331	What are you and the governor, I should like to know?
wu.89004395331	What are you worth, Hortebize?"
wu.89004395331	What can one earn by carrying a mason's hod?
wu.89004395331	What danger should I incur, then? ” Paul asked himself, “ if I altogether abandoned myself to the torrent which has already swept me away?
wu.89004395331	What danger should I incur, then? ” Paul asked himself, “ if I altogether abandoned myself to the torrent which has already swept me away?
wu.89004395331	What did she do with all this precious metal?
wu.89004395331	What did they care for their master's sadness, why should they take any interest in it?
wu.89004395331	What do I care about your orders?"
wu.89004395331	What do these creatures give these boys to drink that deprives them of every manly quality?
wu.89004395331	What do you say to that? ” It took Paul a minute or two to regain the power of speech.
wu.89004395331	What do you say, doctor, to this girl having the small- pox?
wu.89004395331	What do you suppose M. de Croisenois could possibly do with this receipt? ” What could he do with it?
wu.89004395331	What do you suppose M. de Croisenois could possibly do with this receipt? ” What could he do with it?
wu.89004395331	What do you think he is doing now?
wu.89004395331	What do you think of this plan? ” “ Alas! ” exclaimed André, “ I think that if he withdraws, it will be only to make room for some one else."
wu.89004395331	What do you think of this youth, this Paul Violaine?"
wu.89004395331	What do you want for that?'
wu.89004395331	What else would be likely to bappen to a boy, scamp enough, at twelve years'old, to run away from a place where he was well treated?"
wu.89004395331	What had he meant?
wu.89004395331	What had he seen?"
wu.89004395331	What happened after his departure between Madame de Chevauché and her niece?
wu.89004395331	What in the world has happened?'
wu.89004395331	What is needed to make it turn against us?
wu.89004395331	What is the matter with her? ” “ I do n't know, and that is precisely why I have come here.
wu.89004395331	What is there to fear, after all?
wu.89004395331	What is your speci- ality?
wu.89004395331	What kind of man, thought he, was the one she preferred to him?
wu.89004395331	What more do you want? ” “ My reputation is detestable; I am called frivolous and extravagant!"
wu.89004395331	What more would you have done if you had been in my place?
wu.89004395331	What mysterious designs was he to further?
wu.89004395331	What on earth do you mean by such audacity? ”.
wu.89004395331	What shall I do to earn my living?'"
wu.89004395331	What terrible thing has happened since then?
wu.89004395331	What was this rupture he spoke of, and with whom, and why?
wu.89004395331	What will they lend me on this old coat?
wu.89004395331	What would come of this unexpected meeting?
wu.89004395331	What would happen in that case?
wu.89004395331	What would have become of them had he, some fine morning, taken it into his head to close his doors?
wu.89004395331	What would have been the good?
wu.89004395331	What would you do with him?
wu.89004395331	What would you say of a runner who, hoping to gain the prize, fastened a cannon ball to his leg?
wu.89004395331	When I reach the goal of my ambition, you expect me to turn back and crawl over the road again with you, do you?
wu.89004395331	When do you intend to return them?"
wu.89004395331	When he had settled on any measure, any one audacious enough to ask, “ Why? ” was answered, “ Because,"purely and simply.
wu.89004395331	When you play écarté, and your adversary has scored four points and you only one, do you throw down your cards and give up the game?
wu.89004395331	Whenever you're told off to watch anyone, do n't I give you your five francs every morning? ” “ Just so.
wu.89004395331	Where do we stand now, with the Viscountess de Bois d'Ardon? ”.
wu.89004395331	Where else could I find such a tender nature, such an intel- ligent mind, so much innocence and frank fearlessness?
wu.89004395331	Where is his studio? ” interrupted M. de Breulh, becoming impatient.
wu.89004395331	Where is my sword?
wu.89004395331	Where would be the harm?
wu.89004395331	Who can say that your's does not bear one of the grandest names in France, and is not possessed of untold wealth?
wu.89004395331	Who could have suspected the truth, when seeing you so gay and girlish, without a care on your brow, rambling under the old trees at Sauvebourg?
wu.89004395331	Who has n't done more or less of this same blackmailing?
wu.89004395331	Who would be prosecuted then?
wu.89004395331	Who's he?"
wu.89004395331	Why do n't you work? ”.
wu.89004395331	Why do they disturb me when I pay, without a frown, such extravagant interest?
wu.89004395331	Why do you call Paul a wretch? ” “ Because,"answered the banker, unable to restrain himself — “ because I tremble for you.
wu.89004395331	Why from Mademoiselle Flavia Rigal, and it leaves me no doubt of her sentiments towards me. ” “ Is that really so? ”.
wu.89004395331	Why had De Breulh used these words, fortune and cupidity?
wu.89004395331	Why not? ” he asked in surprise.
wu.89004395331	Why should I ask these men, whom I know so well, how they learned a secret?
wu.89004395331	Why should he meddle in a matter which did not concern him?
wu.89004395331	Why struggle against destiny?
wu.89004395331	Why there you may ask, rather than elsewhere?
wu.89004395331	Why's that?
wu.89004395331	Why?
wu.89004395331	Will you register your name?
wu.89004395331	Will you take this?
wu.89004395331	Would he ever recover his liberty, his self- control?
wu.89004395331	Would he not be able to manage everything according to his own fancies and interests?
wu.89004395331	Would he not be master of the world?
wu.89004395331	Would he not be more powerful than the most powerful monarch?
wu.89004395331	Would it not be better to say that he was altogether unacquainted with the young fop?
wu.89004395331	Would not that evidence be satisfactory?"
wu.89004395331	Would not this be an excellent opportunity to prove once more the superiority of feminine penetration and diplomacy?
wu.89004395331	Would you like to be a duke? ” “ Sir,"stammered Paul, “ sir-".
wu.89004395331	Yes, that is just what took place, I'm sure of it? ” Tantaine was not the man to waste time in useless words.
wu.89004395331	You ask how?
wu.89004395331	You have seen my establishment — what do you think of it? ” “ It seems to me well started."
wu.89004395331	You know him of course? ” “ Not in the least. ” 6 What!
wu.89004395331	You know him, I suppose? ” “ Only by sight. ” “ That's enough.
wu.89004395331	You may keep the whole of it, and also the amount of your debt to us, if we can arrange everything as I desire. ” “ Well, what do you want?
wu.89004395331	You surrender, do you?
wu.89004395331	You think it extraordinary, do you?
wu.89004395331	You would like to go out, I suppose?"
wu.89004395331	Your carriage is at the door, is it not?
wu.89004395331	Your detestable passions never once dimmed the brightness of your eyes; who would have looked for guilt in them?
wu.89004395331	ah! ” said he, without appearing in the least degree shocked, “ wicked ideas, eh?
wu.89004395331	an account? ” he asked, in a bewildered sort of way.
wu.89004395331	and is it for a little service that you intimidate and threaten me in this way, as if you meant to blackmail me?"
wu.89004395331	and will you take that?
wu.89004395331	answered Hortebize, “ what is the good?
wu.89004395331	answered with a wearied look,"you are a business agent, are you?
wu.89004395331	are an impudent knave, to presume to lift your eyes to Sabine de Mussidan?
wu.89004395331	asked the count;"and are there really three leaves gone? ”- 6 Yes."
wu.89004395331	carot procured a good position for you, did n't be?
wu.89004395331	cided on a toilette that will do justice to madame's beauty? ” Van Klopen did not at once reply.
wu.89004395331	cried Rose, “ what difference does a name make?
wu.89004395331	cried he, “ do you wish to poison our love? ” She sighed, but did not insist.
wu.89004395331	do I know?"
wu.89004395331	formation as you choose?"
wu.89004395331	from?
wu.89004395331	have I not tried everything?
wu.89004395331	he was not dead then? ” The physician made a mental note of the countess's air and tone to analyze them at his leisure.
wu.89004395331	his brougham and asked, “ Does Monsieur André, the artist, live here? ” “ To be sure he does, and has been here for two years.
wu.89004395331	his friends thought that?"
wu.89004395331	how pitiless you are! ” He gave her a glance of hatred, and coldly retorted, “ And you, what are you?"
wu.89004395331	how?
wu.89004395331	indeed- and why, pray? ” “ Why? ” M. de Breulh knew perfectly well why.
wu.89004395331	indeed- and why, pray? ” “ Why? ” M. de Breulh knew perfectly well why.
wu.89004395331	inter- rupted the advocate; “ do all my assurances go for nothing? ” 132 THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395331	is that really so?
wu.89004395331	it's you, is it?
wu.89004395331	man, do you intend to deny what I say, when your very face tells the truth? ” cried the angry old lady.
wu.89004395331	monsieur! ” “ Pshaw! ” answered Mascarot, with a contemptuous shrug of his shoulders, “ are you afraid of a word?
wu.89004395331	most imprudent! ” “ But why? ” asked Florestan.
wu.89004395331	not with all your resources? ” exclaimed Tantaine with a sinile.
wu.89004395331	on the box. ” “ Go on; was there no one in the carriage?'
wu.89004395331	pany?
wu.89004395331	pened?
wu.89004395331	pray?
wu.89004395331	really so? ” ejaculated M. de Breulh in the most peculiar tone.
wu.89004395331	respectable, are they?".
wu.89004395331	says I, why do you show such piles of notes in your windows then?
wu.89004395331	she calls herself Zora de Chantemille, does she?"
wu.89004395331	she cried,"why do you alarm me in this way?
wu.89004395331	terfere?
wu.89004395331	the Duchess de Champdoce's former servant?"
wu.89004395331	there is an only,'then? ” THE SLAVES OF PARIS.
wu.89004395331	thing against him?
wu.89004395331	twelve thousand francs?
wu.89004395331	unheard of! ” “ Are you not one of his best customers?"
wu.89004395331	what are you saying? ” “ Saying!
wu.89004395331	what could happen to me? ” Perpignan did not answer.
wu.89004395331	what could your poor mother have done that I have omitted?"
wu.89004395331	what does she care for ten sous or ten francs?
wu.89004395331	what happened? ” he asked crossly.
wu.89004395331	what patience I need to be sure. ” The gentle Tantaine smiled and pointed to the riding whip, “ And this? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	whom would the police net?
wu.89004395331	why had he asked him not to smoke?
wu.89004395331	why was she motherless?
wu.89004395331	why, do you think I'm going to open my mouth for your extra two francs?
wu.89004395331	you know all about him, then?"
wu.89004395331	you know that too? ”.
wu.89004395331	you tell me?
wu.89004395331	« Are these letters so overwhelming then? ” asked the doctor.
wu.89004395331	« Can joy hurt me?"
wu.89004395331	« Van Klopen?"
wu.89004395331	“ About Mademoiselle de Mussidan, perhaps? ” “ Precisely.
wu.89004395331	“ After all, ” he thought, “ why should I decline?
wu.89004395331	“ Ah! ” he answered, with feigned indifference, “ you have learned that? ” “ Yes, and several other things besides, Just listen!
wu.89004395331	“ Ah! ” replied Flavia, with all the sincerity of passion, “ he, take advan- tage?
wu.89004395331	“ Ah! ” said he, “ what a pity it is n't true. ” “ And if I proved to you I was speaking the truth?"
wu.89004395331	“ Ah! ” she murmured, “ Will you never love me well enough to forget that I am rich?
wu.89004395331	“ Ah, you are shocked, are you? ” sneered the count.
wu.89004395331	“ Ah,"said he, plainly softened, “ what can you do for us, sir?"
wu.89004395331	“ Ah? ” said the doctor, gaily, “ 80 you still take your little drops of brandy neat"“ Only a few, sir, very few,"he answered modestly.
wu.89004395331	“ Am I not master? ” he cried, angrily.
wu.89004395331	“ Am I to have one moment's peace to- day?"
wu.89004395331	“ Am I utterly lost, then?"
wu.89004395331	“ And Rose? ” he asked, “ that pretty Rose? ” “ Rose is a thing of the past,"answered the young fellow.
wu.89004395331	“ And Rose? ” he asked, “ that pretty Rose? ” “ Rose is a thing of the past,"answered the young fellow.

wu.89004395331	“ And that prevents you? ” rejoined the tailor, carelessly.
wu.89004395331	“ And that's enough for him? ” “ Oh, yes; but then he's so economical and sensible, and well- behaved!
wu.89004395331	“ And what then? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	“ And when will he return?"
wu.89004395331	“ And where is he?"
wu.89004395331	“ And why, pray, am I to give them you? ” “ Because I've earned them."

wu.89004395331	“ Are you alarmed?"
wu.89004395331	“ Are you in pain, Flavia? ” asked the banker, in a tone which betrayed the anxiety he felt.
wu.89004395331	“ Are you inad? ” they cried together. ” B. Mascarot shrugged his shoulders.
wu.89004395331	“ Are you jesting, sir?"
wu.89004395331	“ Are you ready? ” he asked Hortebize.
wu.89004395331	“ Are you sure of your servants? ”.

wu.89004395331	“ Be- sides,"resumed Mademoiselle de Mussidan, “ what is the use of a picture that must be hidden like a bad action?
wu.89004395331	“ But how are you embarrassed?"
wu.89004395331	“ But that was in the Rue de la Tour d'Auvergne? ” interrupted Mascarot.
wu.89004395331	“ But what can I do, my poor fellow, to put an end to your uncertainty and anxiety?"
wu.89004395331	“ But what is such an enterprise worth in a place like Poitiers?
wu.89004395331	“ But what shock could it have been in this case?"

wu.89004395331	“ Do I know? ” he cried.
wu.89004395331	“ Do n't you see my daughter?"
wu.89004395331	“ Do n't you think it rather singular that the duc and Catenac should beat about the bush like that? ” he asked.

wu.89004395331	“ Explain yourself — what do you want of me?"
wu.89004395331	“ From one of your own operas? ” said he.
wu.89004395331	“ Go on,"said Catenac impatiently; “ what do you expect of me on this point?"
wu.89004395331	“ Good heavens! ” he exclaimed, “ how can a man be such a confounded fool?

wu.89004395331	“ What do you want of him?"
wu.89004395331	“ What do you want? ” he asked in a startled voice.
wu.89004395331	“ What do you wish, sir? ” he asked roughly.
wu.89004395331	“ What do you wish, sir?"
wu.89004395331	“ What do you wish- what can I do for you?"
wu.89004395331	“ What duties?
wu.89004395331	“ What else, then? ” “ Downstairs, I met La Candèle, on his way back from the Place du Petit Pont, and he had just seen--"“ Ah, indeed!
wu.89004395331	“ What harm can it do? ” Mascarot hesitated, and finally answered, “ Oh, none at all, of course."
wu.89004395331	“ What have I done that you should punish me so cruelly? ” “ I am not punishing you, André,"answered Sabine.
wu.89004395331	“ What have I said to make you so angry?
wu.89004395331	“ What is it then? ” he asked.
wu.89004395331	“ What is the matter?"
wu.89004395331	“ What is the matter?"
wu.89004395331	“ What is the use of saying that to me?"
wu.89004395331	“ What is to become of us? ” “ Ah!
wu.89004395331	“ What kind of secret?"
wu.89004395331	“ What on earth do you mean? ”** That your Marquis de Croisenois is a wretch, who has imposed on Madame d'Arlange."

wu.89004395331	“ What! ” she exclaimed, feigning surprise which she was far from feeling, “ what, nothing?
wu.89004395331	“ What's that you say? ” he exclaimed.
wu.89004395331	“ What's the matter?"
wu.89004395331	“ What's the trouble?"
wu.89004395331	“ What's up, now — who's complaining? ” As no answer came from the kitchen, Professor Poluche deemed it right to speak.
wu.89004395331	“ What's up?"
wu.89004395331	“ What?
wu.89004395331	“ When they've gone?
wu.89004395331	“ Where are you going? ” “ God only knows!
wu.89004395331	“ Where does his money come from? ” wondered Mascarot, determined not to rest until he knew.
wu.89004395331	“ Where is she living now?".
wu.89004395331	“ Who are you?"
wu.89004395331	“ Who cares?

wu.89004395331	“ Who is this cook?"
wu.89004395331	“ Who knows? ” he answered.
wu.89004395331	“ Who on earth told you all this? ” he gasped.
wu.89004395331	“ Why ca n't you do something yourself? ” he asked."
wu.89004395331	“ Why do n't you say at once, and in just as many words, that the whole thing is knocked on the head? ” “ Because I do n't think it is."
wu.89004395331	“ Why do n't you send yourself? ” “ I ca n't, and if you are charitable and kind, you wo n't even ask me why.
wu.89004395331	“ Why do you attempt to defend yourself?"
wu.89004395331	“ Why do you tell me all this? ” he asked impatiently.
wu.89004395331	“ Why not, if it were his interest to do so?
wu.89004395331	“ Why should Mademoiselle de Mussidan's illness coincide with the rupture of this marriage?
wu.89004395331	“ Why, do n't you understand?
wu.89004395331	“ Why?
wu.89004395331	“ Wrecked? ” said he.
wu.89004395331	“ Yes, do n't you know him?
wu.89004395331	“ Yes- exactly. ”"Is he one of your friends?"
wu.89004395331	“ You are in pain, sir? ” asked André.
wu.89004395331	“ You can tell me, now, at all events, why you are watching her. ” “ Why?
wu.89004395331	“ You had only to say,""To say what?
wu.89004395331	“ You have weighed everything, ” insisted the agent;"examined every- thing?
wu.89004395331	“ You know bank notes, then? ”.

wu.89004395331	“ You thought to catch me, did you, with this disguise, you innocent old man?
wu.89004395331	“ You were accepted by both the count and countess as their future son- in- law? ” “ Precisely."
wu.89004395331	“ You wished to find some employment?"
wu.89004395331	“ You, sir?
wu.89004395331	“ You? ”... “ Yes, I; and frankly I do n't feel the least remorse.
wu.89004395331	“ Your bill, madame, was not twenty thousand francs precisely? ” “ No,"answered the viscountess.
wu.89004395331	“ Your mother, ” continued Mascarot, “ kept a little thread and needle shop during the last fifteen years of her life?"

uva.x001560080	And you prefer pdte de foie gras and champagne?
uva.x001560080	And you will pardon my mentioning the harpy's name?
uva.x001560080	And you will?
uva.x001560080	And you?
uva.x001560080	And — and you — you will say — nothing?
uva.x001560080	Are you and Jim going on a second honeymoon?
uva.x001560080	Are you clever?
uva.x001560080	Are you coming into the'devil's parlour'?
uva.x001560080	Are you thinking of the insurance money?
uva.x001560080	As I am now the scamp's widow, had that not better have been left unsaid?
uva.x001560080	Askew follows?
uva.x001560080	At Hilda in the pulpit? uva.x001560080 At everything?"
uva.x001560080	Beastly cold, is n't it, Leah? uva.x001560080 Bit of a tongue, has n't she?"
uva.x001560080	But I say, ca n't I come and see you in town?
uva.x001560080	But are letters necessary? uva.x001560080 But do n't you think you could contrive to be a little less rude?"
uva.x001560080	But how does it benefit you?
uva.x001560080	But if I tell"Tell what?
uva.x001560080	But if you died, Jim?
uva.x001560080	But if you saw no way of getting it?
uva.x001560080	But in the majestic pages of Gibbon"Who? uva.x001560080 But the car, my lady?"
uva.x001560080	But what interest can you have in my soul — if I have one?
uva.x001560080	But when will that be? uva.x001560080 But you say it in English, and how can?"
uva.x001560080	But you wo n't frighten me any more with this religious talk?
uva.x001560080	But your man, Miss Mulrady — the Askew chap?
uva.x001560080	But your reason?
uva.x001560080	But, Leah, I swear"By that soul you know nothing about?
uva.x001560080	But, my dear Duchess"What's the use of talking?
uva.x001560080	By what?
uva.x001560080	By your tongue? uva.x001560080 Ca n't I?
uva.x001560080	Ca n't you raise money on it?
uva.x001560080	Ca n't you think more kindly of him, now that he is gone?
uva.x001560080	Can any child be much too good?
uva.x001560080	Can not you wait till after the funeral?
uva.x001560080	Can we not drop our masks, madame?
uva.x001560080	Can yon not make your peace without her in- fluence? uva.x001560080 Can you not understand?"
uva.x001560080	Can you substantiate that statement, seeing how embarrassed your worldly affairs are at this moment?
uva.x001560080	Can you tell the truth in any one of them?
uva.x001560080	Can you wonder at it, my dear, when you are so sweet and gentle and womanly?
uva.x001560080	Can you wonder at it? uva.x001560080 Can you wonder if I do?
uva.x001560080	Cannibals? — yes, Lady James, T know a few and love them.
uva.x001560080	Change so rapidly? uva.x001560080 Consumption?
uva.x001560080	Demetrius? uva.x001560080 Demetrius?"
uva.x001560080	Did I ever receive it?
uva.x001560080	Did I? uva.x001560080 Did I?"
uva.x001560080	Did he suffer much?
uva.x001560080	Did he? uva.x001560080 Did n't George Eliot say something of the sort?"
uva.x001560080	Did you not say that he would aid me to regain my position, if I gave up Katinka?
uva.x001560080	Did you offer assistance so that you might meddle?
uva.x001560080	Do I look so uncivilised?
uva.x001560080	Do I not deserve to be called Constantino, now?
uva.x001560080	Do n't I?
uva.x001560080	Do they? uva.x001560080 Do you and Jim go down to Firmingham for Christmas?"
uva.x001560080	Do you ever read?
uva.x001560080	Do you follow, doctor?
uva.x001560080	Do you mean to say?
uva.x001560080	Do you mean to tell me?
uva.x001560080	Do you mind imprisonment?
uva.x001560080	Do you really mean that?
uva.x001560080	Do you really think so?
uva.x001560080	Do you require me to tell you that?
uva.x001560080	Do you? uva.x001560080 Does Demetrius think he will die?"
uva.x001560080	Does he know the kings of England?
uva.x001560080	Does n't he know he is dead, and is about to be buried?
uva.x001560080	Does what need words?
uva.x001560080	Doing cake- walks?
uva.x001560080	Et moi aussi?
uva.x001560080	Even at love?
uva.x001560080	Even then, Leah, do you really like this man?
uva.x001560080	Explanations?
uva.x001560080	For Buenos Ayres? uva.x001560080 For debts,"said Leah, sweetly;"but Miss Tallentire?"
uva.x001560080	For what?
uva.x001560080	For what?
uva.x001560080	Gai th dead?
uva.x001560080	Garth? uva.x001560080 Get up steam an'fizzle a bit, ca n't you 1""Shall I war- whoop, or dance a horn- pipe?"
uva.x001560080	Goin'in for rouge et noir with Lady Jim?
uva.x001560080	Goin't'begin agin?
uva.x001560080	Got a headache?
uva.x001560080	Had n't we better leave honour out of this shady business we are about to embark in?
uva.x001560080	Had not you ladies better retire?
uva.x001560080	Half the money — eh? uva.x001560080 Harry Askew?"
uva.x001560080	Have I encouraged him?
uva.x001560080	Have I not cause?
uva.x001560080	Have the — er — bodies been found?
uva.x001560080	Have you ever had everything you wished for, Lady James?
uva.x001560080	Have you ever heard Mr. Kaimes talk Chinese metaphysics, Miss Tallentire?
uva.x001560080	Have you ever heard of The Woman in White?
uva.x001560080	Have you not made my life miserable with your looks and smiles and coldness and beauty?
uva.x001560080	How are you, Duko? uva.x001560080 How are you, Miss Mulrady?"
uva.x001560080	How can I repent, when I do not even feel sorry?
uva.x001560080	How can they be, when?
uva.x001560080	How can you expect me to look well, when Lionel here has been quoting texts for want of originality?
uva.x001560080	How can you think so badly of me?
uva.x001560080	How could I be so cruel?
uva.x001560080	How d'y do, Captain Lake? uva.x001560080 How dare you say that?"
uva.x001560080	How do you know I shall?
uva.x001560080	How do you know that?
uva.x001560080	How do you?
uva.x001560080	How does my daughter know that?
uva.x001560080	How long do you intend to stand there saying'Oh!'?
uva.x001560080	How long has Mr. Askew been devoting his energies to such things?
uva.x001560080	How much are you paying for her?
uva.x001560080	How often do you wish me to say so? uva.x001560080 How should I know?
uva.x001560080	How would you have me earn my salary, then?
uva.x001560080	How — how dare you?
uva.x001560080	How's the betting, William?
uva.x001560080	How, then, could you persuade him to use his influence?
uva.x001560080	Hum,he repeated, biting his forefinger;"you will be marrying again?"
uva.x001560080	I am enjoying this day,said Joan, as they walked rapidly towards the park gates;"but what will Lady Canvey say?"
uva.x001560080	I am right, then?
uva.x001560080	I believe you want some other woman's husband?
uva.x001560080	I can understand the first; the second may be explained by wholly unnecessary jealousy; but the final one — this marriage you speak of?
uva.x001560080	I compre- hend; but why should you make use of the wrong word?
uva.x001560080	I entirely agree with you,confessed Leah, candidly; then added with impatient anger,"Do you expect me to tell you lies?"
uva.x001560080	I realise that I have one sovereign; and you?
uva.x001560080	I say, Jim, is this going to last for ever?
uva.x001560080	I say, you could n't?
uva.x001560080	I suppose you missed Senorita Fajardo then?
uva.x001560080	I suppose you will drop the parson now?
uva.x001560080	I will speak plainly, mndame"About Katinka and her infatuation? uva.x001560080 I wonder if lean make fact out of fiction?"
uva.x001560080	If I had, should I cure it with a novel?
uva.x001560080	If I try to, will He — will He cure me?
uva.x001560080	If Lionel fails with the Duke, Demetrius mightMight what?
uva.x001560080	If M. Demetrius becomes his medical attendant?
uva.x001560080	If what?
uva.x001560080	If you love him not, why torture him, and me? uva.x001560080 If you saw my son""Was he in church this morning?"
uva.x001560080	If you think so, why not make amends and marry her?
uva.x001560080	In Pacific waters?
uva.x001560080	In Russia?
uva.x001560080	In my hotel? uva.x001560080 In return for thus arranging your domestic affairs,"continued the doctor, unmoved by the sarcasm,"will you gain my pardon from the Czar?
uva.x001560080	In the criminal way?
uva.x001560080	In what way?
uva.x001560080	Indeed? uva.x001560080 Is Senorita Fajardo in the same predicament as the service?"
uva.x001560080	Is he dead, then?
uva.x001560080	Is he ever whipped?
uva.x001560080	Is he stopping in Paris?
uva.x001560080	Is he? uva.x001560080 Is her husband here?"
uva.x001560080	Is it a compliment?
uva.x001560080	Is it impossible?
uva.x001560080	Is it not true? uva.x001560080 Is it now?
uva.x001560080	Is it safe?
uva.x001560080	Is it, indeed? uva.x001560080 Is she a nice woman?"
uva.x001560080	Is that all?
uva.x001560080	Is that as high as you can rise?
uva.x001560080	Is there any one here you would like to make a side- dish of?
uva.x001560080	Is there anything good on?
uva.x001560080	Is there? uva.x001560080 Is this a consultation?"
uva.x001560080	It is not true?
uva.x001560080	Jewellers'windows?
uva.x001560080	Katinka had a letter?
uva.x001560080	Lady James, do you love any one but yourself?
uva.x001560080	Lady Jim?
uva.x001560080	Later on, perhaps — who knows?
uva.x001560080	Later on, perhaps — who knows?
uva.x001560080	Leah, do you really mean it?
uva.x001560080	Leaves how much, Jim?
uva.x001560080	Like th'Duchess?
uva.x001560080	Lima?
uva.x001560080	Lionel, how can you?
uva.x001560080	Madame Aksakoff is — Madame Aksakoff; und you, are"Well, what?
uva.x001560080	Mademoiselle Ninette? uva.x001560080 Married who?"
uva.x001560080	May I present my nephew to you?
uva.x001560080	Me? uva.x001560080 Meaning me?"
uva.x001560080	Might I suggest'sophistry'?
uva.x001560080	Miss Mamie Mulrady? uva.x001560080 Miss — how much?"
uva.x001560080	Misunderstanding?
uva.x001560080	Mr. Askew goes to Paris, also?
uva.x001560080	Mr. Lionel Kaimes?
uva.x001560080	Must you go? uva.x001560080 Must you?"
uva.x001560080	My dear man, when am I anything else but worried, with Jim for a husband, and the Duke behaving like Shylock at his worst? uva.x001560080 My father?"
uva.x001560080	My good friend, have I not said sol And the letters?
uva.x001560080	My need of what?
uva.x001560080	Need we keep on your comedy, madame?
uva.x001560080	Ninette? uva.x001560080 Not gone yet?"
uva.x001560080	Now that you have finished saying sweet things, what next?
uva.x001560080	Now then,she continued, feeling relieved that those fierce eyes were not making her flesh creep,"do you know what you are, Monsieur Demetrius?"
uva.x001560080	Of consumption?
uva.x001560080	Of course,assented Aksakoff, dryly; then added, with a significance she ignored:"Do you go alone to Paris?"
uva.x001560080	Of the high- toned gilt- edged sort, with red scalps?
uva.x001560080	Oh, Bunny, how could you call poor Leah and her husband names? uva.x001560080 Oh, Lord, what do you want me to say?"
uva.x001560080	Oh, Lord, what is the use of complaining? uva.x001560080 Oh, Lord, who wanted a right light?
uva.x001560080	Oh, the Duke is very kind to him, is he? uva.x001560080 On Jim's account?"
uva.x001560080	On a thousand a year, and such a husband as I have?
uva.x001560080	On board Strange's odd- job steamer? uva.x001560080 Only a fiver I intend to borrow from a sure man,"said Jim;"but I say, what's to be done?"
uva.x001560080	Or loved me — which?
uva.x001560080	Original?
uva.x001560080	Our conversation at Monte Carlo"Did we converse? uva.x001560080 Over tea,"she echoed equally slowly —"tea, after luncheon?"
uva.x001560080	Plait- il?
uva.x001560080	Poor Jim,she mocked scornfully;"are you going to cry up his virtues?"
uva.x001560080	Quite like a Christmas card, is n't it, Jim?
uva.x001560080	Quite so, and can not you see that such sorrow explains everything?
uva.x001560080	Ras — ras — rascality?
uva.x001560080	Read? uva.x001560080 Say, ma'am, ai n't you afeared?"
uva.x001560080	Should n't you say that he is not lost but gone before? uva.x001560080 Should not your little boy be at school?"
uva.x001560080	Since when have you taken him to your heart?
uva.x001560080	So thoughtful of him, is n't it?
uva.x001560080	So weak, madame?
uva.x001560080	So you've pulled the wool over his eyes again?
uva.x001560080	Sounds like a few years of oakum- pickin', do n't it? uva.x001560080 Struck on a reef?"
uva.x001560080	Supposing I could love you — what then?
uva.x001560080	Supposing he died and was buried in place of me, you mean?
uva.x001560080	Tea?
uva.x001560080	That girll You do n't say so?
uva.x001560080	That means you will not prosecute?
uva.x001560080	That you're my neighbour?
uva.x001560080	That young man, madame?
uva.x001560080	That's a trifle personal, is n't it?
uva.x001560080	That's bunkum, an'—an'—what's the word?
uva.x001560080	The actress? uva.x001560080 The insurance,"said Leah, thoughtfully;"twenty thousand pounds, is n't it, Jim?"
uva.x001560080	The man who has taken his name from Abraham's cemetery? uva.x001560080 The what?"
uva.x001560080	The — change?
uva.x001560080	Their outfit ca n't cost much, then,declared Leah, flippantly;"but are n't we going to talk business?
uva.x001560080	Then I am wrong?
uva.x001560080	Then I gather that you do not blame me for your exile?
uva.x001560080	Then how — how?
uva.x001560080	Then the LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 127 high- born nobleman does not credit me with being a gentleman?
uva.x001560080	Then why are n't you on your knees?
uva.x001560080	Then why did you behave so badly, you wicked boy?
uva.x001560080	Then why did you did you?
uva.x001560080	Then why do n't they?
uva.x001560080	Then why does n't he stick to the one he's legally entitled to?
uva.x001560080	Then why is Mr. Askew at large?
uva.x001560080	Then why talk nonsense?
uva.x001560080	Then you do n't love me?
uva.x001560080	Then you knew it would come to this?
uva.x001560080	Then you've been playing with me 1be cried;"you do n't love me'i""Did I ever tell you so?"
uva.x001560080	There never really was, and if you really love this estancia lady, why not marry her?
uva.x001560080	There were no fire- brigades in those days, were there?
uva.x001560080	There's no chance of your getting it sooner?
uva.x001560080	They had no suspicion — these people?
uva.x001560080	Through Mademoiselle Askakoff?
uva.x001560080	Through that Russian Johnny?
uva.x001560080	To continue in your sins? uva.x001560080 To me, or to that pretty, vivacious girl over there?"
uva.x001560080	To the death, madam?!
uva.x001560080	Understand what?
uva.x001560080	Unless?
uva.x001560080	Very good?
uva.x001560080	W hat hold have I over you?
uva.x001560080	We might turn this— she touched the book lightly —"into real life,""Goin'to make a play of it?"
uva.x001560080	Well, an'ai n't it true?
uva.x001560080	Well, and do n't men take to drink when they are worried? uva.x001560080 Well, and what did they say?"
uva.x001560080	Well, and what else could the poor man have done?
uva.x001560080	Well, but supposing you did?
uva.x001560080	Well, madame?
uva.x001560080	Well, should n't I be paying the largest price for getting the cash?
uva.x001560080	Well, then,Jim fiddled nervously with a piece of toast,"why not get the twenty thousand?"
uva.x001560080	Well, what matter? uva.x001560080 Well?"
uva.x001560080	Well?
uva.x001560080	Well?
uva.x001560080	Were — you — reading the Bible?
uva.x001560080	What about Jim? uva.x001560080 What about this truck?"
uva.x001560080	What about?
uva.x001560080	What am I to smile at?
uva.x001560080	What an admirable definition?
uva.x001560080	What are they?
uva.x001560080	What are you reading so earnestly?
uva.x001560080	What business?
uva.x001560080	What conspiracy?
uva.x001560080	What did they write, Miss Jaffray?
uva.x001560080	What do you mean by that?
uva.x001560080	What do you mean by that?
uva.x001560080	What do you mean by that?

uva.x001560080	What does all this mean?
uva.x001560080	What does it matter what he thinks?
uva.x001560080	What does it matter, so long as you do pay?
uva.x001560080	What does she mean?
uva.x001560080	What else do you think attracted me? uva.x001560080 What events?"
uva.x001560080	What has that to do with this?
uva.x001560080	What has that to do with you?
uva.x001560080	What ib that you say about sin?
uva.x001560080	What insurance money? uva.x001560080 What is it? — what is it?"
uva.x001560080	What is it? — what is it?
uva.x001560080	What is it?
uva.x001560080	What is she up to now?

uva.x001560080	Why should I?
uva.x001560080	Why should the sight of an empty house so startle you, madame?

uva.x001560080	Wo n't you speak to the Duke?
uva.x001560080	Would you mind speaking in a lower tone?
uva.x001560080	Would you versify explanations?
uva.x001560080	Yes; I wrote to him about the chances of his pardon"Are there any changes?
uva.x001560080	Yon brute, when I suffer so I Does it need words?
uva.x001560080	You accept my apology?

uva.x001560080	You are a guest now,she rejoined, with a nervous laugh;"is the tea to your liking?"
uva.x001560080	You can eat?
uva.x001560080	You did n't think Jim was so original, did you, godmother?
uva.x001560080	You do n't like him?
uva.x001560080	You do n't suppose I mean murder, do you?
uva.x001560080	You doubt the story, then?
uva.x001560080	You go to Havre — to- night?
uva.x001560080	You go to Paris?
uva.x001560080	You have asserted your innocence before,murmured the sick man, ironically;"and now""Now?"
uva.x001560080	You have paid me on Jim's behalf — is that not so?
uva.x001560080	You know that she struck me?
uva.x001560080	You know why I have come?
uva.x001560080	You promise, then, to right me with the Czar?
uva.x001560080	You there, M. Aksakoff? uva.x001560080 You want a thousand pounds?"
uva.x001560080	You were about to observe, madame?
uva.x001560080	You would be pleased?
uva.x001560080	You're not goin'to read, are you? uva.x001560080 You've see him, then?"
uva.x001560080	You, I, and?

uva.x001560080	Your husband?
uva.x001560080	* Is she so much in love with Mr. Berring, then?"
uva.x001560080	133 134 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET Has Lady Canvey been converted, or has Jim gone to that place where the climate forbids skating?"
uva.x001560080	170 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"How are you, Leah darling?
uva.x001560080	172 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"His what?"
uva.x001560080	176 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"Do n't they teach English at Eton, Billy?"
uva.x001560080	240 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"Miss Fastine?
uva.x001560080	282 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"You doubt me, Constantine,"whispered the shc- Judas, with trembling tenderness;"will not this?"
uva.x001560080	292 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET Would he never smile?
uva.x001560080	4'Where has he gone, Lionel?"
uva.x001560080	62 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"Garth?
uva.x001560080	88 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET"The Third Section?"
uva.x001560080	:"Captain Strange?
uva.x001560080	A wakeful night — eh?
uva.x001560080	After you confessin'that you kissed Demetrius?"
uva.x001560080	Ah, you cruel woman, have I not worshipped and adored you these many days?
uva.x001560080	Ai n't I goin'to disappear?"
uva.x001560080	Aksakoff — what is the matter?
uva.x001560080	Aksakoff?"
uva.x001560080	Aksakoff?"
uva.x001560080	Aksakoff?"
uva.x001560080	All I want to know is, if this business can be managed, will you do your share by disappearing?"
uva.x001560080	Am I a doll?"
uva.x001560080	Am I not your husband?"
uva.x001560080	Am I to mourn with spurious lamentations that selfish profligate, who would have broken my heart had he ever possessed it?
uva.x001560080	Am I, I ask you, free to play you this trick of a hasty marriage, when you can expose me as privy to a fraud?
uva.x001560080	An'when might that be?"
uva.x001560080	An'why James?"
uva.x001560080	And after all, was there not a cat of Heine's acquaintance, who made genuflections before a pink- ribboned flageolet?
uva.x001560080	And as it grows late and I am tired, may I ask you to explain your business?"
uva.x001560080	And her friends?"
uva.x001560080	And if a few tradesmen were ruined, what did it matter?
uva.x001560080	And the necessary verb?"
uva.x001560080	And the price?''
uva.x001560080	And the woman in the red dress?"
uva.x001560080	And what had Jim to leave behind him besides his character?"
uva.x001560080	And what has it all to do with me?"
uva.x001560080	And when you get through your lot, Jim, what will you do?"
uva.x001560080	And who can say to-what limit they recede, if limit there be?
uva.x001560080	And why not, seeing that she had baited her hook with a sprat to catch the much- needed mackerel?
uva.x001560080	And yet"What are you talking about?"
uva.x001560080	And you?"
uva.x001560080	And you?"
uva.x001560080	Any more freaks?"
uva.x001560080	Any more questions?"
uva.x001560080	Anything else?"
uva.x001560080	Are n't 256 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET these suggestions rather premature?
uva.x001560080	Are we not all sinners?"
uva.x001560080	Are you going out?"
uva.x001560080	Are you mad?"
uva.x001560080	Are you so good yourself, that you can refuse charity to the dead?"
uva.x001560080	As doctor or Prince?"
uva.x001560080	Askew?"
uva.x001560080	Because I do not put up Jim as a pig- idol, to worship with crocodile tears?"
uva.x001560080	Berring?"
uva.x001560080	Berring?"
uva.x001560080	Berring?"
uva.x001560080	But are you really and truly sorry?"
uva.x001560080	But ca n't we talk of something more interesting — your sermon, for instance?"
uva.x001560080	But can you believe this story — it seems incredible?"
uva.x001560080	But first tell me honestly, can Christ cure me?"
uva.x001560080	But he managed by a violent effort to wet his lips with a stiff tongue, and made it form certain words:"Are you sure of this?"
uva.x001560080	But how could she possibly learn that he was there?"
uva.x001560080	But we must all die, dear Leah, and death is the gate of life, and""Ca n't you leave these proverbial condolences to Lionel?"
uva.x001560080	But what was behind this offer?
uva.x001560080	But what's the use of talking obituary notices?
uva.x001560080	But when you come to die?"
uva.x001560080	But who tells the truth to a parson?"
uva.x001560080	But who will help me out of the mire — who will?"
uva.x001560080	But would you help those you hate, and at a sacrifice?"
uva.x001560080	By the way, how is Mademoiselle Aksakoff?"
uva.x001560080	By the way, how is she, and the darling, darling twins?
uva.x001560080	By the way, where is my darling?"
uva.x001560080	CHAPTER X"What is love?"
uva.x001560080	Ca n't we let this house?"
uva.x001560080	Ca n't you be mora womanly?"
uva.x001560080	Ca n't you give up this wild life, and go abroad to devote yourself to Jim?
uva.x001560080	Ca n't you see?"
uva.x001560080	Ca n't you trust me, man?"
uva.x001560080	Can I call you Lady Jim?"
uva.x001560080	Can you gain it?"
uva.x001560080	Can you not credit me with more exclusive tastes?"
uva.x001560080	Captain Lake, will you give me a cigarette?"
uva.x001560080	Could Rothschild have financed things better?
uva.x001560080	Could she accept life as a Thing and not as a Being?
uva.x001560080	Could she bear to see that gradually disappear?
uva.x001560080	Could you get me whitewashed in that time?"
uva.x001560080	Demetrius?
uva.x001560080	Demetrius?"
uva.x001560080	Demetrius?"
uva.x001560080	Demetrius?"
uva.x001560080	Did Lady Jim know?
uva.x001560080	Did he not tell you how he threatened me?"
uva.x001560080	Did n't Joan tell you how he was taken ill in Paris?"
uva.x001560080	Did n't you, Bunny?"
uva.x001560080	Did not a peacock's feather adorn one of the motor- car lamps?
uva.x001560080	Did the Duke's lecturo give you an appetite?"
uva.x001560080	Did the blow hurt you?"
uva.x001560080	Did you cry too, Jim?"
uva.x001560080	Do I not ache here?"
uva.x001560080	Do n't you think it is?
uva.x001560080	Do n't you think it would be better if you sat down and tiilked pleasantly?"
uva.x001560080	Do n't you think so, Lord Hengist?"
uva.x001560080	Do you extract amusement from the Tallentire girl in the same way?"
uva.x001560080	Do you hear, you who sold him?
uva.x001560080	Do you mind imprisonment?"
uva.x001560080	Do you mind?"
uva.x001560080	Do you propose to shoot or stab me, or to blow me up?
uva.x001560080	Do you remember La Fontaine's fable?"
uva.x001560080	Do you speak of yourself?"
uva.x001560080	Do you think she will fill the position?"
uva.x001560080	Do you think that I, who am flesh and blood, care for your lady and gentle- man humbug?
uva.x001560080	Do you think, knowing his danger, he would trust himself in Paris?
uva.x001560080	Do you want to come face to face with some of the knotty, searching problems of our modern life?
uva.x001560080	Do you want to meet a character that will hold your sympathies spellbound?
uva.x001560080	Does my thought confirm facts?"
uva.x001560080	Does one generally make a friend of one's doctor?"
uva.x001560080	Done?
uva.x001560080	Eeen to the theatres lately, Lady Jim?"
uva.x001560080	Freezes a bit — what?
uva.x001560080	God ordered her to fly; was it worth while to trust to Him for wings?
uva.x001560080	Good- tempered! — why not, with a healthy body and an equable nature?
uva.x001560080	Got a puff?"
uva.x001560080	Got any sportin'number?"
uva.x001560080	Had the gold u goose laid two eggs instead of one?
uva.x001560080	Had this woman marred her beauty?
uva.x001560080	Had we not better get to business?"
uva.x001560080	Hall?"
uva.x001560080	Hall?"
uva.x001560080	Has he made his will?"
uva.x001560080	Has he?"
uva.x001560080	Has that beast spoken out?"
uva.x001560080	Have I been deceived?
uva.x001560080	Have you accepted this most generous offer?"
uva.x001560080	Have you heard about his health lately?"
uva.x001560080	Have you heard from him lately?"
uva.x001560080	Have you met Lord Esbrook?
uva.x001560080	Have you met him?
uva.x001560080	Have you remained to make yourself disagreeable?"
uva.x001560080	Have you spoken to the Duke?
uva.x001560080	He is n't in your debt, then?"
uva.x001560080	He paused, then questioned suddenly,"You love Paul Petrovitch?"
uva.x001560080	He sent that foreign doctor to""Demetrius,"said Lady Jim, quickly,"Oh, so Demetrius knows him?"
uva.x001560080	He went to St. Petersburg, did n't he?
uva.x001560080	Honestly now, could those Gospel miracles occui in this twentieth century?"
uva.x001560080	How can it be done?"
uva.x001560080	How can you?"
uva.x001560080	How did you transfer Garth's body to Jamaica?"
uva.x001560080	How do you like the Firmingham vicarage, Joan?"
uva.x001560080	How is Katinka?"
uva.x001560080	How is it that no man can stir me into experience of the grand passion?"
uva.x001560080	How many women would take this scandalous matter as quietly as I do?"
uva.x001560080	How much had he gathered?
uva.x001560080	How much have you got out of the Duke?"
uva.x001560080	How was she to know that Helfmann was a police spy, or that the letter assuring her of the doctor's intended return to Russia had been deftly forced?
uva.x001560080	Hulloa, who is this?"
uva.x001560080	I always call, in spite of your — your — what shall we say?"
uva.x001560080	I could not do less than ask him to luncheon, could I?"
uva.x001560080	I do n't see Miss — what's her name?"
uva.x001560080	I feel it still""Your lip is cut, then?"
uva.x001560080	I have nothing to do, and — Joan, where are you going?"
uva.x001560080	I make it for you — for you; yes, do you not understand?"
uva.x001560080	I might inquire with the Apostles, and I do inquire, with all curiosity,'Who then can be saved?'"
uva.x001560080	I presume you desire to speak of this gentleman?"
uva.x001560080	I wonder what made him ill?"
uva.x001560080	I would rather read about the naughty woman — Miss — what's- her- name?"
uva.x001560080	I'm not going to ill this trouble to share you with""Well, with whom? — out with it!"
uva.x001560080	If I eloped with you, what respect could you have for me?"
uva.x001560080	If I had come down to howl about the house, where would you have been?"
uva.x001560080	If you have done nothing wrong, how can I drive you into the corner you speak of?"
uva.x001560080	In another three or four months"Lionel broke off with a sigh,"Poor man I""Ca n't anything be done?"
uva.x001560080	In reality, Akeakoff was wondering hof?
uva.x001560080	Is he aware of the amount?"
uva.x001560080	Is it not so?"
uva.x001560080	Is it really true?"
uva.x001560080	Is n't Frith jealous?"
uva.x001560080	Is n't that eyebrow a little crooked, Billy?"
uva.x001560080	Is n't this praise a trifle obvious?
uva.x001560080	Is n't this rather Lindley- Murray whispering?"
uva.x001560080	Is that not noble?"
uva.x001560080	Is this what you have come to see me nbout?"
uva.x001560080	It seems we are immortal, then?"
uva.x001560080	It would please her, perhaps?"
uva.x001560080	Jim?
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 123"Can I believe that?"
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 13;"That you may save them?"
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 143"Demetrius?
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 145"Explain what?"
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 249"Why do n't you laugh?"
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 295"Ah I Not even Harry?"
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 3"Who said I could?
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 355 Would nothing make her serious?
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 71"No; who is she?"
uva.x001560080	LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 75"Why ca n't you speak plainly?"
uva.x001560080	Leah, if you can not bear your punishment in the flesh, how will you endure it in the spirit?
uva.x001560080	Live for Christ, and what matters the world?"
uva.x001560080	Lola — what's her name?"
uva.x001560080	May I ask a few needful questions?"
uva.x001560080	Mind some light?"
uva.x001560080	Money?"
uva.x001560080	Most improper, is n't it, when Berring?"
uva.x001560080	Must you really go, Mr. Askew?
uva.x001560080	Next Thursday?"
uva.x001560080	No doubt"—she spoke meaningly —"you will wish to speak to him privately?"
uva.x001560080	No?
uva.x001560080	Not bad- lookin', is she?

uva.x001560080	Now that the 434 LADY JIM OF CURZON STREET 437"Wheresey hang out?"
uva.x001560080	Oh yes, that horrid little man with the waxed moustache: a doctor or a chemist, was n't he?"
uva.x001560080	Oh,"she cried almost fiercely,"ca n't you understand?"
uva.x001560080	Otherwise she will not understand?"

uva.x001560080	Said one ghost to the other:"But have you — are you a?"
uva.x001560080	Shall I come with you, Jim?"
uva.x001560080	Shall I see you in Iondon?"
uva.x001560080	Shall we follow, Lady Jim?"
uva.x001560080	Shall we return?"
uva.x001560080	Shall we return?"
uva.x001560080	She as a married woman, and he as an engaged man, could platonise to any extent; but he free, and she shortly to be a widow — what then?
uva.x001560080	She could renounce, with ease: had she not refused a large sum of money because she felt that it was wrong to take it?
uva.x001560080	She hinted buck with sweet smiles,"Do n't you prefer a quiet wedding?"
uva.x001560080	She lured him to Paris, then?"
uva.x001560080	She nodded a"How d'y do?"
uva.x001560080	Shocking, is n't it, seeing that I scarcely know how to pose as a widow?"
uva.x001560080	Sittin'in the twilight an'talkin'secrets — eh?
uva.x001560080	Something about a sunset, was n't it?"
uva.x001560080	Still, as a peace- maker""You put me into the Beatitudes, then?"
uva.x001560080	Such a cockney place, is n't it?
uva.x001560080	The butler intimated that Lady Frith wept incessantly in her boudoir, and that the Duke"What?"
uva.x001560080	Then she crossed her legs, rested her muff on her knee, and protested,"I ca n't wait here much longer 11"On account of French?"
uva.x001560080	Then there's something improper in the matter?"
uva.x001560080	Then we can get back — oh, about what time?"
uva.x001560080	Then we do go to Bayswater?"
uva.x001560080	Then you are not certain?"
uva.x001560080	Then you mean to""Carry you away?
uva.x001560080	Then, coasingly:"We are friends?"
uva.x001560080	Then, when she nodded,"My ignorance of your language""Or of my feelings?
uva.x001560080	There is, then"— the hint was delicate —"another?"
uva.x001560080	Thirty thousand pounds?"

uva.x001560080	To be really good is to be hated; to be extremely bad means excuses, help, and trumpeting!?.
uva.x001560080	Twenty thousand pounds — eh?"
uva.x001560080	Very dull, was n't it?"
uva.x001560080	Was the cultus of the matrimonial god worth such encumbrances?

uva.x001560080	Would you mind telling me plainly, before we part, why you sought this interview?"
uva.x001560080	Yes?"
uva.x001560080	Yet, could he, could any man, love this chilly, self- centred Englishwoman?
uva.x001560080	You accuse me of being mixed up in a conspiracy?"
uva.x001560080	You are sure all is safe — sure?"
uva.x001560080	You do n't mean it, do you?"
uva.x001560080	You have never driven Mademoiselle Aksakoff, then?"

uva.x001560080	You — want — me — to — read?"
uva.x001560080	Youth, health, money, charm, loveli- ness — with these desirable blessings at her command, what else could she want?
uva.x001560080	asked Leah, overhearing the names;"the Russian man?"
uva.x001560080	he cried passionately;"to whom can you go but to God?
uva.x001560080	queried Leah, sharply, adding more gram- matically,"Who?"
uva.x001560080	said Lady Jim, with a sharp glance;"but why?"
uva.x001560080	she asked, coming lightly towards him:"any news?"
uva.x001560080	thought Lady Jim, with a charming smile, meaning nothing,"am I to be bored with another Arthur?"
uva.x001560080	u But are you quite prepared?

uva.x001560080	with a sentimental sigh;"what have I done to be so doubted?"

wu.89099766321	Creveling was an intimate'friend of yours, ma’am? ” McCarty asked.
wu.89099766321	Creveling?"
wu.89099766321	Did a burglar break in, do you think? ” “ I ’m asking questions, not answering them, ” McCarty asseverated sternly.
wu.89099766321	Did he have any quiet little games here? ” Hill shook his head decisively.

wu.89099766321	Did she be- lieve that Creveling had killed himself and was notoriety all that she feared?
wu.89099766321	Did the servants who were dismissed turn theirs in? ” “ I suppose so.
wu.89099766321	Did they speak at all to each other on Tuesday night? ” McCarty asked bluntly.
wu.89099766321	Did you see any playing cards or anything lying around?"
wu.89099766321	Did you take a good look at the supper table, sir? ” “ No dope there, beyond what you pointed out. ” Inspec- tor Druet had turned away.
wu.89099766321	Did you telephone out to Broadmead where Mrs. Creveling is staying during last night? ” “ Police 1 ” thewoman gasped in a shrill whisper.

wu.89099766321	FROM THE LONG AGO 103 What did she know or suspect?
wu.89099766321	Ford was evidently beside himself, on the brink of desperation — why?
wu.89099766321	God, it ’s horrible!--But you said a decision rested with us?
wu.89099766321	Had he indeed accepted suicide as the solution of Creveling ’s death or did he secretly in- cline toward the conviction held by Mrs. Creveling?
wu.89099766321	Had his disapproval been merely because their antique setting ap- pealed to his artistic sense, as Mrs. Creveling said, or had he another reason?
wu.89099766321	Had his train of reasoning been at fault?
wu.89099766321	Had it been her face which he had seen peering from one of the windows above as he swung himself aboard the bus that morning?
wu.89099766321	Had some woman remained concealed in that house despite the rigorous search of the men from borough headquar- ters?
wu.89099766321	Has Creveling been gambling heavy lately, that you know of?
wu.89099766321	Has Mrs. Creveling been sent for, sir? ” “ She is here. ” “ Here! ” Sarah threw up her hands.

wu.89099766321	Has there been a death here since it was built? ” “ No, not until this! ” “ That ’s funny.
wu.89099766321	Have I kept the game waiting? ” They all turned with one accord to the door, to find Doug- las Waverly standing on the threshold.
wu.89099766321	Have either of you noticed in the last few days the fresh- scarred curbstone in front of the Creveling house?
wu.89099766321	Have they for the past couple of weeks?"
wu.89099766321	Have you been get — ting on together lately as well as you used to? ” McCarty ’s tone was ingratiating.
wu.89099766321	Have you done time?
wu.89099766321	Have you ever seen it in Mr. Creveling ’s possession? ” “ I have not, sir. ” The banker shook his head decisively.
wu.89099766321	Have you got a dress suit? ” Dennis eyed him askance.
wu.89099766321	Have you one witness who can testify that Alexander was near the Creveling house at the time of the shooting?
wu.89099766321	Have you seen him? ” O’Rourke nodded.

wu.89099766321	He chuckled when he took the wheel. ” “ Then he drove himself?
wu.89099766321	He had everything to live for and not an enemy in the world. ” “ Did he have any delusions, now?
wu.89099766321	He is one of our closest friends. ” “ And the O’Rourkes and Fords and the lady named Culp or Kip? ” McCarty persisted.
wu.89099766321	He promised finally that he would come. ” “ Who are the other two McCarty is bringing beside In- spector Druet? ” asked Cutter.

njp.32101062933856	So, the Wheelers are the only suspects left. ” “ And am I not as good for a suspect as they are — if I make due confession?
njp.32101062933856	So, why should she keep permanent servants if she was at home only half the time?
njp.32101062933856	Some errand of trust, some matter of confidence — ” “ Do you mean it?
njp.32101062933856	Some one who knew of her nightly sandwich?

njp.32101062933856	Steele had gone home, ought I to implicate him?
njp.32101062933856	Still I ’ve sent it, that ’s all I can do. ” “ What did you tell him? ” “ I made it rather long and circumstantial.

njp.32101062933856	Tell me this: how far from the victim did the shooter stand?
njp.32101062933856	Tell me, darling, wo n’t you? ” “ I ca n’t, Jeff.
njp.32101062933856	Tell me, first of all, do you know who I am?

njp.32101062933856	That was positive, but what did it prove?
njp.32101062933856	That worthy ex- governor, while in the act of engaging Keefe to be his confiden- tial secretary, observed: “ They call you Curt, do they?
njp.32101062933856	That you must live in Massachusetts? ” “ Yes — you know that, dear. ” “ Of course I do.
njp.32101062933856	That ’s a deal for the master to\ do for any guest! ”'“ Mr. Vincent not given to putting himself out for anybody?
njp.32101062933856	That ’s all they vouched for,—my honesty and good faith- I told Mr. Vincent that. ” “ Did you see Miss Vincent?
njp.32101062933856	That ’s what I mean by stealthily. ” “ What was your errand? ” asked Scofield of Estelle.
njp.32101062933856	That ’s what a morass is. ”'“ Did you see any reason to think Mr. Johnson might have been sucked in?
njp.32101062933856	That ’s your business, is n’t it?
njp.32101062933856	The chauffeur? ” “ Not he!
njp.32101062933856	The gardener is working there today. ” “ Would that be on'his way out of the grounds? ” Brown inquired.
njp.32101062933856	The law is inexorable in its demands for justice. ” “ But if they ca n’t find Miss Van Allen, how can they indict her?
njp.32101062933856	The messages were spoken to me by my sister ’s voice in the dead of night — ” “ You ’re sure you were awake?
njp.32101062933856	The model, as you can scarcely see now, is that of the Parthenon. ” “ How did the story of the haunting come about?
njp.32101062933856	The odds in favor of Mr. Wheeler indicating his guilt or innocence? ” “ His guilt, I meant, F. Stone.
njp.32101062933856	The old lady was erratic in lots of ways. ” “ Why do you all say the old lady?
njp.32101062933856	The old man, now — ” “ Why do you call Mr. Homer Vincent an old man?
njp.32101062933856	The police will let you in at any time?
njp.32101062933856	The police?
njp.32101062933856	The queer costume? ” “ The costume was n’t so queer — for a bou- doir garb.
njp.32101062933856	The rest must wait my return. ” “ Ah, and when will you be back? ” “ I do n’t know exactly, but I will keep you informed of my whereabouts.
njp.32101062933856	The scenery ’s great! ” “ How do you know, have you been there? ” “ Not just lately, but I was last fall.
njp.32101062933856	The snake?

njp.32101062933856	The first thing we detectives think of is, who will benefit by the crime?
njp.32101062933856	Then I felt for his heart and found it was still. ” “ You a doctor?
njp.32101062933856	Then I said good night, and left her to herself. ” “ She had then gone to bed?
njp.32101062933856	Then I flung it out into the softest- looking spot. ”- “ What happened?
njp.32101062933856	Then the waiter ’s story?
njp.32101062933856	Then when Mrs. Wheeler wanted her she was n’t to be found. ” “ And has n’t sence ben sane?
njp.32101062933856	Then will you get the letters and put them — where shall I say? ” “ I ’ll mail them to you. ” “ No, that would never do.
njp.32101062933856	Then — what about self- defence?
njp.32101062933856	Then, the next point was, would Mr. Appleby tell?
njp.32101062933856	Then, you see, he is down in her will for ten thousand dollars of those bonds, and he ’s very fond of pearls, ” “ What ’s that?
njp.32101062933856	There was n’t any man on the south veranda. ” “ Sure, Terence? ” “ Yessir, I ’m pretty sure.
njp.32101062933856	There ’s nobody upstairs at all. ” “ No housekeeper or maid? ” demanded Mason.
njp.32101062933856	Therefore, as she chose to consider Miss Frayne and myself of comely per- sonal appearance, she was unkind to us both. ” “ And Mr. Loria?
njp.32101062933856	They been here five years now, an ’ yet mighty few people knows ’em atall. ” “ He did n’t build his fine house? ” “ Land, no.
njp.32101062933856	They have had several in his place, as the years went by. ” “ You found the entry Of Rosemary ’s admission to the asylum?
njp.32101062933856	They never convict a woman, do they, Mr. Keefe? ” “ So that ’s what you ’re banking on!
njp.32101062933856	They were all in the house. ” “ Miss Maida — did you see her at the time?
njp.32101062933856	They were most obliging but utterly unsuccessful. ” “ What else did you do? ” Brewster asked.
njp.32101062933856	They were, of course, stolen? ” “ No; that ’s the strange part.
njp.32101062933856	They_ ca n’t both be guilty. ”'“ And you do n’t know which one is? ” “ N — no, ” came the faltering reply.
njp.32101062933856	Think so?
njp.32101062933856	This is Miss Van Allen ’s house. ” “ Sure it is, and a friend of hers named Somers has been bumped off. ” “ What?
njp.32101062933856	This is a terrible affair, and a mighty strange one. ” A PAPER SNAKE 53 “ Who did it, Gray? ” “ Never you mind.
njp.32101062933856	This may seem far- fetched, but what theory does not seem so?
njp.32101062933856	This proves it to my mind. ” “ And the knife? ” I asked, thrilling with interest.
njp.32101062933856	This, monsieur, is her invari- able routine. ” “ She seemed well, in her usual spirits?
njp.32101062933856	This, to my mind, quite precludes the idea that he looked for anything untoward. ” “ How did he impress you, Mr. Wheeler?
njp.32101062933856	Those girls never used a black- jack — ” BIZARRE CLUES 141.“But the poison? ” “ Had it been poison alone, there might be a question.

njp.32101062933856	To all of those statements I adhere. ” “ You do?
njp.32101062933856	To me, there seem to be other avenues to explore,—other clues to follow up. ”_ “ What clues, for instance?
njp.32101062933856	To what inanimate object was she talking when she said ‘ To- morrow all these jewels may be yours ’? ”.
njp.32101062933856	To whom did it point?

njp.32101062933856	Was he getting greater than his master?
njp.32101062933856	Was he very attentive to Miss Carrington?
njp.32101062933856	Was it not far more likely to be a figment of Miss Frayne ’s clever mind, for what purpose who might say?
njp.32101062933856	Was it not the work of a burglar? ” “ Was the impression of a foot that you saw, the foot of a man or a woman? ”.

njp.32101062933856	Was she, then, even now in hiding near her home?
njp.32101062933856	Was that a trust to her for any one else?

njp.32101062933856	Well, anyway — Miss Lane here knows that Mr. Keefe bought that bugle — don’t you?
njp.32101062933856	Well, belike, he was the murderer and that sets my people free. ” “ Important if true, but are you both sure?

njp.32101062933856	You prepared a night luncheon for your mistress? ” “ Yes, sir, ” and now Estelle ’s voice trembled and her eyes rolled apprehensively.
njp.32101062933856	You saw me get it to- night, I suppose, and it is a dangerous thing for me to do. ” “ Where are you — I mean, where are you staying?
njp.32101062933856	You saw no sign of a guest in the house?
njp.32101062933856	You say, father says he saw me?
njp.32101062933856	You see it that way, do n’t you, Mr. Stone? ” The earnest little face looked up to the master.
njp.32101062933856	You see, F. S. has made up his mind. ” “ As to the murderer?
njp.32101062933856	You see, Miss Van Allen is off visitin ’ so much, she do n’t want steady help. ” “ Where does she visit?
njp.32101062933856	You see, Mr. Keefe is in love with my daughter ” “ As who is n’t?
njp.32101062933856	You see, he bumped up against dad once, and got the worst of it. ” “ How?
njp.32101062933856	You see, we were intending to sail for Egypt in February. ’ ’ “ Who were? ” “ Myself, my aunt, Miss Frayne and Mr. Haviland.

njp.32101062933856	You ’ve heard about him?
njp.32101062933856	You ’ve not cleared out any, Mellish?

njp.32101062933856	“ And this same Mills was the phantom bugler?
njp.32101062933856	“ And why did your employer, my dear sir, come to me under an assumed name?

njp.32101062933856	“ But why would n’t he go to bed? ” Rosemary persisted.
njp.32101062933856	“ But, I say, Mr. Keefe, have n’t you ever thought it might have been Jeffrey Allen himself?
njp.32101062933856	“ But, Mr. Calhoun, did you know that Miss Van Allen always writes with her left hand? ” “ No, and I do n’t believe she does! ” “ Yessir.

njp.32101062933856	“ By the area door? ” “ Perhaps so, ” and she spoke lightly.
njp.32101062933856	“ By whom could she possibly, or theoretically, he thus held?
njp.32101062933856	“ Ca n’t I go, Chess?

njp.32101062933856	“ Can this be true?
njp.32101062933856	“ Can you do it? ” she asked, tremulously.
njp.32101062933856	“ Can you give me any fact or suggest to me any theory that points toward any one but Mr. Daniel Wheeler as the murderer of Samuel Appleby?
njp.32101062933856	“ Can you prove it — I mean, to my satisfaction?
njp.32101062933856	“ Come for a ramble with me, wo n’t you?
njp.32101062933856	“ Could it be, ” he went on, “ that she was talking to herself?
njp.32101062933856	“ Could n’t she describe him? ” “ No; she did n’t see him plain enough.
njp.32101062933856	“ Could n’t you have overlooked it? ” “ Positively not. ”_ “ No, he could n’t, ” concurred Burdon.
njp.32101062933856	“ Could this have been placed round her neck after death? ” Scofield inquired of the doctors.
njp.32101062933856	“ Did Miss Carrington leave you a bequest of ten thousand dollars in United States bonds? ” went on the Coroner.
njp.32101062933856	“ Did old Appleby want to marry Maida? ” “ Yes, he did.
njp.32101062933856	“ Did you ask the caterer ’s people if they took it by mistake?
njp.32101062933856	“ Did you ever trace that picture in Mr. Schuy- ler ’s watch? ” Ruth asked, a few moments later.
njp.32101062933856	“ Did you go down again and close it? ” “ I have n’t said I opened it yet, ” and Estelle flashed an irate glance at her questioner.
njp.32101062933856	“ Did you hear it?
njp.32101062933856	“ Did you find any, Doctor? ” “ No, ” and Archer looked stern.
njp.32101062933856	“ Do n’t children remember their experiences at three years old?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do n’t speak flippantly of such subjects. ” “ Well, father, why not be honest?

njp.32101062933856	“ Do n’t you suppose I ’m “ as much broken up by Antan ’s death as Uncle Homer is?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do n’t you think I may?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you expect, Miss Lane, that I will consent to keep this secret from the Wheelers?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you feel that way, too?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you know what morass means?"
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you know who did, Mr. Stone? ” “ Not positively, ’ I said Stone.
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you mean to tell me these are synthetic?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you often feel thus about the beginning of a case?
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you really believe that? ” Genevieve ’s big blue eyes begged an affirmation.
njp.32101062933856	“ Do you think, Mr. Vincent, ” Lane asked, in his ponderous way, “ that your sister ’s death could have been a suicide?"
njp.32101062933856	“ Doctor Remson, will you come?
njp.32101062933856	“ Does Mrs. Schuyler want one? ” “ Yes, and she wants her mighty quick.
njp.32101062933856	“ Does this seem like a dream? ” and his lips met hers in a long, close kiss.
njp.32101062933856	“ Doing the spectacular, Terence?
njp.32101062933856	“ Dunno, ” replied Hardy; “ it ’s a sort of boarding- house, I think, for the lower classes. ” “ Is it? ” said Stone, and they went on.
njp.32101062933856	“ Even so, why did n’t she see the approach of the assailant in the mirror?
njp.32101062933856	“ Feeling sure that you would find your hus- band and Mr. Appleby in such a desperate quarrel that you would be called upon to shoot?

njp.32101062933856	“ He used this as an argument toipe'rSuade'you to marry him, Miss Wheeler? ”'4 i*'U “ I do n’t put it that way, ‘ Mr.
njp.32101062933856	“ He ’s a top- notcher. ” “ In what respects? ” “ Every and all. ” “ You ’ve known him long?
njp.32101062933856	“ He ’s a top- notcher. ” “ In what respects? ” “ Every and all. ” “ You ’ve known him long?
njp.32101062933856	“ He ’s that dark, now. ” “ Dark?
njp.32101062933856	“ Hear anything funny in the night, Maida? ” he asked her.
njp.32101062933856	“ Hey?
njp.32101062933856	“ Honest, now, do you want to help?
njp.32101062933856	“ How can I tell?
njp.32101062933856	“ How can he?
njp.32101062933856	“ How can you be so sure it was a burglar? ” asked Scofield.
njp.32101062933856	“ How can you tell? ” “ Because the H is a trifle larger.
njp.32101062933856	“ How could Miss Van Allen get that knife of yours? ” he asked.
njp.32101062933856	“ How could we know?
njp.32101062933856	“ How could you see the stairs from the living- room? ” asked the interested coroner.
njp.32101062933856	“ How dare you say that? ” “ It ’s true! ” cried Anita.
njp.32101062933856	“ How did you come to suspect Tibbetts? ” I asked, suddenly.
njp.32101062933856	“ How did you guess?
njp.32101062933856	“ How do you do, Miss Eaton? ” Lulie Eaton dared her request.
njp.32101062933856	“ How do you know where he is? ” asked Hardy, nearly bursting with curiosity.
njp.32101062933856	“ How do you know?
njp.32101062933856	“ How do you know?
njp.32101062933856	“ How do you know? ” and Inspector Brunt peered at her over his glasses.
njp.32101062933856	“ How do you like Count Henri Charlier? ” Miss Carrington quickly demanded of her satellites.
njp.32101062933856	“ How does Mr. Stone know when you ’re telling the truth, then? ” “ Good land, I do n’t lie to him!
njp.32101062933856	“ How ja know it was there?
njp.32101062933856	“ How shall I get your letters?
njp.32101062933856	“ How should I know any- thing about Estelle ‘?
njp.32101062933856	“ How was it taken,—in what medium? ” “ That we ca n’t tell to a certainty.
njp.32101062933856	“ How will Mrs. Schuyler bear it?
njp.32101062933856	“ How ’d you happen to?
njp.32101062933856	“ How? ” I repeated; “ how could she manage? ” “ Walls have tongues, ” said Stone.
njp.32101062933856	“ How? ” I repeated; “ how could she manage? ” “ Walls have tongues, ” said Stone.
njp.32101062933856	“ However could you hear that?
njp.32101062933856	“ I beg you will not accept a servant ’s statement in preference to mine! ” “ You are sure of this, Haskins?
njp.32101062933856	“ I burgled Greatlarch, you see — ” “ How?
njp.32101062933856	“ I confess, though my opinion changed once or twice. ” “ And at the present moment? ” insisted Keefe.
njp.32101062933856	“ I daresay you do not believe in the occult — ”\ “ Pardon me, do you consider the occult and the supernatural synonymous terms?
njp.32101062933856	“ I do n’t know — I did n’t hear it ” “ Then you were up in your own room?
njp.32101062933856	“ I saw that Tib- betts had false teeth, anyway, an ’ I says, why ca n’t Julie ’s gold teeth be false, too?
njp.32101062933856	“ I took it earlier in the day — I had it up in my own room. ” “ Yes; where did you conceal it there?
njp.32101062933856	“ I want to ask your advice, ” Allen said; “ shall I confess to that crime?
njp.32101062933856	“ I was there, in the room — I could see that he did n’t kill him! ” “ Who did then? ” and the detective turned to her.'
njp.32101062933856	“ I would like to ask, ” Hallen said, “ what Mrs.\Vheeler meant by crying out that it was the work of a ‘ phantom burglar ’?
njp.32101062933856	“ I ’m not sure, but I think you are in touch with Miss Van Allen. ” “ And if I am? ” I flared up.
njp.32101062933856	“ I ’ve something to say, for I am en- gaged to Curtis Keefe myself. ” “ Does he think you are? ” Stone said, rather casually.
njp.32101062933856	“ If he can put it over, or if I can put it over for him, it will be only with the help of Dan Wheeler. ” “ Is Wheeler willing to help?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is he all right?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is he threatening them?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is it Goethe ’s?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is it far from the village?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is it — is it alive “ 2.?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is n’t there a bottle of lotion to go with this?"
njp.32101062933856	“ Is she guilty?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is that John Mills ’ signature?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is that correct and proper?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is that strange? ” she said; “ well, then, it ’s true.
njp.32101062933856	“ Is that your Only plan?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is there such a thing, ” he asked, “ as the face of a murderer?
njp.32101062933856	“ Is this of great worth? ” inquired Scofield, as he carefully removed the scarf from the shoulders it surrounded.
njp.32101062933856	“ Is this the place?
njp.32101062933856	“ It was not in an envelope “ Then how did it reach my husband?
njp.32101062933856	“ It ’s all I know. ” “ Where did Miss Van Allen go on her frequent absences from her home? ” “ That I do n’t know, either.
njp.32101062933856	“ Just what did she say?
njp.32101062933856	“ Likewise, Miss Rosemary, how could a human kill anybody with a dagger, and go away leaving the door locked behind him?
njp.32101062933856	“ Look here, Mr. Haviland, ” said the latter, “ what do these ladies mean by accusing each other of all sorts of things?
njp.32101062933856	“ Look here, ” said Fenn, bluntly, “ is that your knife sticking in him?
njp.32101062933856	“ Look higher up for that! ” “ What do you mean? ” “ I mention no names, but somebody must have done it, if bromide was found in that milk.
njp.32101062933856	“ Mason, will you go?
njp.32101062933856	“ May I see those rubies, Mr. Vincent? ” asked Lane.'
njp.32101062933856	“ May I see those?
njp.32101062933856	“ Meaning? ” asked Stone, meditatively, gazing at this expressive facial contortion.
njp.32101062933856	“ Mellish, ” he said, “ have you ever heard this Wild Harp? ” 7 Though he tried to suppress it, a faint smile came to the face of the butler.
njp.32101062933856	“ Men with pistols do n’t brandish them until they get ready to shoot. ” “ But you saw this man shoot?
njp.32101062933856	“ Miss Wheeler, ” he said, as he reached her, “ will you please come now to see Mr. Stone?
njp.32101062933856	“ Mr. Vincent get over his broken leg? ” Hay- dock asked.
njp.32101062933856	“ Murderer concealed in the room, like as not, all afternoon. ”_ “ Ah, h’m, and how did he get out?
njp.32101062933856	“ Must I see them, Uncle?
njp.32101062933856	“ Must we have the Coroner, Dr. Stanton? ” ‘ ‘ Yes, yes, of course; I will telephone at once.
njp.32101062933856	“ N o ragtime, I s’pose? ” he said, after a particu- larly depressing fugue resounded its last echoes.
njp.32101062933856	“ N o servants?
njp.32101062933856	“ Need I go on?
njp.32101062933856	“ Never see one like it?
njp.32101062933856	“ Nice? ” she asked, briefly.
njp.32101062933856	“ No, not so much that,—as,—oh,—la, la,—ex- citement,——all talking at once,—argument-—see?
njp.32101062933856	“ Now the police? ” she went on, as if such matters belonged to her province.
njp.32101062933856	“ Now where were you when Miss Carrington spoke those words to you?
njp.32101062933856	“ Now, Mr. Calhoun, what is there to be discussed in a business way?
njp.32101062933856	“ Now, Mr. Keefe?
njp.32101062933856	“ Now, as I ’ve just told Allen,~ I ’m coming back as soon as I can make it, and until I do, vwon’t you try to hold off those men?
njp.32101062933856	“ Now, can you find this man, Mr. Stone?
njp.32101062933856	“ Now, we ’ve got this dress, and what of it?
njp.32101062933856	“ Oh, Chessy, ” cried my sister, as soon as Bemis had gOne, “ it ’s awful, I know, but is n’t it exciting?
njp.32101062933856	“ Oh, Uncle Homer, what is it?
njp.32101062933856	“ Oh, they were extra motor coats, or raincoats,-or something like that, and they always staid in the car. ”'“ Where, in the car?
njp.32101062933856	“ Oh, what shall we do?
njp.32101062933856	“ Puzzling it out, Mr. Stone? ” and Pauline ’s smile was a full-fledged one now; “ perhaps I can help you.
njp.32101062933856	“ Ripping picture, eh? ” said Gray Haviland, as he held back the heavy curtain for the golden_ haired young woman at his side to look out.
njp.32101062933856	“ Rosemary, who could have done such a thing?
njp.32101062933856	“ Rosemary, will you come with me, or will you have your breakfast taken to your rooms?
njp.32101062933856	“ Say, Mr. Wheeler, did you see the pistol in Miss Maida ’s hands? ” “ I ca n’t say I did or did n’t, ” Wheeler replied, listlessly.
njp.32101062933856	“ Shall I take down mademoiselle ’s hair? ” asked Estelle, lingering.
njp.32101062933856	“ Shall I wash thim dishes now, mum? ” And she was allowed to set to work.
njp.32101062933856	“ She has her keys, of course?
njp.32101062933856	“ Since it does n’t worry the ladies, and I have no fear of spooks, why should I have it re- moved?
njp.32101062933856	“ So you ’re the Spook that plays the Harp, are you, Mellish? ” he said, and though his tone was light, he spoke in earnest.
njp.32101062933856	“ Stop, Pauline, where are you going? ” cried Haviland as he ran after her.
njp.32101062933856	“ Sure there ’s nobody upstairs?
njp.32101062933856	“ Sure, McGuire? ” asked Stone.
njp.32101062933856	“ Sycamore Ridge is one of the most beautiful places in Connecticut. ” “ Oh, are we in Connecticut?
njp.32101062933856	“ Table- tipping or spooks? ” she said, trying to turn it off lightly.
njp.32101062933856	“ Tell me about that man, Francine, ” she said; “ did you see him? ” “ Yes, when Miss Anne called me to get her a wrap.
njp.32101062933856	“ Tell me anything you know of the circum- stances at the time of the murder. ” “ Circumstances?
njp.32101062933856	“ Tell me, Stone, ” I begged, “ what is it?
njp.32101062933856	“ Tell the story, one of you- Who is this man?
njp.32101062933856	“ Tell us again, Luigi, ” asked Lowney, “ just where did the lady seem to go, when you saw her leave this room? ” “ I ca n’t say, sir.
njp.32101062933856	“ That is quite true, ” she said, “ but how ever did you know it?
njp.32101062933856	“ That is so, ” she said, slowly; “ why should you?
njp.32101062933856	“ That might not be at all a bad plan, ” he said, slowly; “ are you in earnest? ” “ I do n’t know.
njp.32101062933856	“ That ’s our man, F. S., ” the boy said, “ that ’s Mr. Collins—~aren’t you?
njp.32101062933856	“ The evening before her death was she in her usual spirits?
njp.32101062933856	“ The kitchen is back of this? ” I asked.
njp.32101062933856	“ The master dead?
njp.32101062933856	“ Then how can we suspect an outsider?
njp.32101062933856	“ Then will you trust me far enough to believe that I think you will best help them by telling the truth?
njp.32101062933856	“ Then?
njp.32101062933856	“ There is a night watchman?
njp.32101062933856	“ There is no doubt about this?
njp.32101062933856	“ To start with, Mrs. Wheeler, ” said Burdon, frankly but not unkindly, “ who do you think killed Mr. Appleby?
njp.32101062933856	“ Umbrella, sir?
njp.32101062933856	“ Uncle, ” Rosemary cried, “ who killed Antan, UNCLE AND NIECE 137 — — and how?
njp.32101062933856	“ VVhat ’s his name? ” asked Vicky, though in a voice of little interest.
njp.32101062933856	“ VVhere’d she go? ” I panted.
njp.32101062933856	“ W'— what? ” he stammered.
njp.32101062933856	“ Wait, Miss Stuart, ” cried Stone; “ What are you doing?
njp.32101062933856	“ Was he like a Westerner?
njp.32101062933856	“ We can get in touch with you at any time, Mr. Appleby?
njp.32101062933856	“ Well, I was passing the veranda U “ Coming from where and going where?
njp.32101062933856	“ Well, then, how ’s this?
njp.32101062933856	“ Well, what do you make of the tracks? ” asked Hardy, coming in upon his meditations.
njp.32101062933856	“ Well, what was in the back part of the inner secret cupboard?
njp.32101062933856	“ Well, ” he said, shortly, “ well, Mr. Henry Johnson, what do you want to see me about?
njp.32101062933856	“ What Keefe is going up in an airship? ” Curt insisted, his curiosity aroused.
njp.32101062933856	“ What about this Wild Harp?
njp.32101062933856	“ What are the acids? ” he asked.
njp.32101062933856	“ What are we going to do?
njp.32101062933856	“ What are you doing, Anita? ” cried Miss Oarrington, petulantly, as they settled them- selves at the table.
njp.32101062933856	“ What are you, Mr. Appleby?
njp.32101062933856	“ What can I do? ” she murmured, her voice tragically sad.
njp.32101062933856	“ What can you men tell us?
njp.32101062933856	“ What club does he belong to? ” “ I do n’t know, ” I replied.
njp.32101062933856	“ What did he mean? ” she cried, her cheeks pink with anger, and her blue eyes shining through tears.
njp.32101062933856	“ What did they do about the Massachu- setts business?
njp.32101062933856	“ What did you do?
njp.32101062933856	“ What did you do?
njp.32101062933856	“ What did you mean by making up that string of falsehoods?
njp.32101062933856	“ What did you find out? ” Burdon asked, com- ing out from behinda nearby clump of shrubbery.
njp.32101062933856	“ What do I owe you?
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you know? ” she cried out, and showed signs of hys- teria.
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you mean by this nonsense?
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you mean?
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you mean?
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you mean? ” he cried.
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you mean? ” he stammered.
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you suppose it does?
njp.32101062933856	“ What do you want? ” She stepped toward him, and we all turned to look.
njp.32101062933856	“ What does Johnson look like?
njp.32101062933856	“ What does he mean? ” Markheim cried out.
njp.32101062933856	“ What does it mean? ” whispered Anita, shuddering, “ is she — is she dead? ” “ Yes, ” answered Haviland, briefly.
njp.32101062933856	“ What does it mean? ” whispered Anita, shuddering, “ is she — is she dead? ” “ Yes, ” answered Haviland, briefly.
njp.32101062933856	“ What does she mean? ” I asked.
njp.32101062933856	“ What does, Chet?
njp.32101062933856	“ What has happened to Randolph?
njp.32101062933856	“ What has happened? ” “ A man has been killed, ” said the doctor, shortly.
njp.32101062933856	“ What has upset you so? ” “ Pauline! ” was all Anita could say, when she was interrupted by Hardy.
njp.32101062933856	“ What is her occupation?
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it that I can do for you? ” “ Listen, Francine, do you hear the Wild Harp?
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it that I can do for you? ” “ Listen, Francine, do you hear the Wild Harp?
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it you say, Miss Pauline?
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it, Rosemary?
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it, Uncle Homer? ” she- cried, paling in an intuitive premonition of an unpleasant dis- closure of some sort.
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it, dear? ” she queried, “ tell Mrs. Mac.
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it?
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it? ” he asked.
njp.32101062933856	“ What is it? ”- “ Oh, nothing.
njp.32101062933856	“ What is this? ” he exclaimed suddenly; and opening the curled- up fingers of the other hand he drew forth a crumpled gray object.
njp.32101062933856	“ What is to be done?
njp.32101062933856	“ What part of her gown? ” Luigi thought a moment.
njp.32101062933856	“ What sort of sandwiches? ” “ Caviare, sir. ” “ Ah, yes.
njp.32101062933856	“ What was.it? ”.
njp.32101062933856	“ What were you two girls talking about?
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s doing? ” asked Haviland, in his breezy way; and Stone replied, frankly: “ Lots.
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s the pretty letter all about, Curtie? ” asked the observant stenographer, who had noticed his third reading of the short missive.
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s this about the tree going to Massachu- setts?
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s this?
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s this?
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s up, Infant?
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s up?
njp.32101062933856	“ What ’s wanted?
njp.32101062933856	“ Whatcha want? ” he demanded.
njp.32101062933856	“ When did you take it from the drawer? ” Sara Wheeler hesitated for an instant and from that, Stone knew that she had to think before she spoke.
njp.32101062933856	“ When does the Crowell lady come into her own?
njp.32101062933856	“ When will they bring my husband home? ” she continued, without waiting for comment on her decision about the secretary.
njp.32101062933856	“ Where are the house servants?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where are the ser- vants?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where are they?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where did you see him?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where do your suspicions tend, Mr. Calhoun?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where is Miss Van Allen?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where is Miss Van Allen? ” I broke in.
njp.32101062933856	“ Where is Mr. Schuyler?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where is Vicky?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where is she? ” “ I ’ve been all over — every room — every floor.
njp.32101062933856	“ Where is the lady?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where shall I address you? ” FLEMING STONE 185 “ I ca n’t tell you that.
njp.32101062933856	“ Where shall we look first? ” “ All over. ” And Fibsy darted to a wardrobe and began feeling among the gowns and wraps hanging there.
njp.32101062933856	“ Where was Mr. Wheeler?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where was this found?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where you been?
njp.32101062933856	“ Where ’s he put?

umn.31951p01033216f	'“ Why do you think him innocent?"

umn.31951p01033216f	439 “ Is it possible,"Byrd interrupted, with feeling, as Mr. Ferris hesitated, “ that you do doubt her innocence?

umn.31951p01033216f	87 ‘ Were you coming to see me?'
umn.31951p01033216f	A secret shared between them?
umn.31951p01033216f	After the acknowledgments made by the prisoner too?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Ah, and at what time did you see him yesterday?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Ah, this was her mode of greeting, was it?
umn.31951p01033216f	Alas, how is it with you?
umn.31951p01033216f	Among the witnesses you have collected against this last suspected party, there are some women, are there not?"
umn.31951p01033216f	And a short but agitated silence followed which Mr. Orcutt broke at last by saying: “ Are these all the facts you have to give me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	And on what day?"
umn.31951p01033216f	And so this Mr. Mansell is her nephew?"
umn.31951p01033216f	And when he asked: ‘ Why to.morrow?'
umn.31951p01033216f	And who is it that can give testimony regarding the ring? — Miss Dare."
umn.31951p01033216f	And without waiting for the witness to recover himself, asked again: “ What did the widow say, and with what words did you leave?"
umn.31951p01033216f	And, if she had cause to gather ‘ guilt from his manner, had he not as much cause to gather it from hers?
umn.31951p01033216f	And, say she had detected me in my little game, what then?
umn.31951p01033216f	Any special gossip in regard to him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Are you capable of forgery as well as of other deceptions?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Are you getting tired of the affair?"
umn.31951p01033216f	As for Imogene, who could tell what went on in that determined breast?
umn.31951p01033216f	At all events, he meant to imprint the possible portrait upon his mind in case—- in case what?
umn.31951p01033216f	At last — was it the result of the attempt made by this man upon his life? — she put an end to the struggle by acting for herself.
umn.31951p01033216f	At what hour was the telegram dated?"
umn.31951p01033216f	At what time did you leave the hotel, Mr. Hildreth?
umn.31951p01033216f	At what time was this?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Because that ingenious stranger saw fit to make him such a prominent figure in his suppositions?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Before telling us in what time you did it, will you be kind enough to say what route you took? ”.
umn.31951p01033216f	Besides, how could she have known about the ring?
umn.31951p01033216f	But I got a jog on my elbow that sent me into the right path,"said he, “ as, perhaps, you did too, sir, eh?"
umn.31951p01033216f	But did it fall there?
umn.31951p01033216f	But he did not show his feelings, however, and calmly asked: “ And was Mr. Mansell in this town the day before the assault upon his aunt?"
umn.31951p01033216f	But how was he to make her acknowledge it?
umn.31951p01033216f	But is it a remembrance, or only a chimera of my own overwrought brain struggling with a subject it will not let drop?
umn.31951p01033216f	But mark his control, will you?
umn.31951p01033216f	But now “ What now?"
umn.31951p01033216f	But she did not say much; she merely rose, and, turning toward me, exclaimed: ‘ No apolo- gies; you are a detective, I suppose?'
umn.31951p01033216f	But that does not hinder me from wishing to help you, and so I ask, in all sincerity, What is it you want me to do for you to.day?"
umn.31951p01033216f	But the responsibilities resting upon H me are such He did not go on; why should he?
umn.31951p01033216f	But were his suppositions true?
umn.31951p01033216f	But what is the curiosity of the rabble to us?
umn.31951p01033216f	But what opportunity remained for making them weightier?
umn.31951p01033216f	But what strong point?
umn.31951p01033216f	But what way?
umn.31951p01033216f	But why did he fly in that wild way when he left it?
umn.31951p01033216f	But why had she so changed her plans?
umn.31951p01033216f	But you spoke of seeing Miss Dare; how was that?
umn.31951p01033216f	But, perhaps, you are not in- terested in the murder that has lately taken place in this town?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Byrd, will you believe me when I tell you that we did it without go- ing into the house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Can I stand it?
umn.31951p01033216f	Can it be that Orcutt has such an attachment for her that he is going to let his rival hang?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Can you tell me whether you know of any other person besides this nephew of hers who is likely to be benefited by Mrs. Clemmens'death?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Can you find out?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Can- not you speak,.dear?
umn.31951p01033216f	Could he not have come before?
umn.31951p01033216f	Could it be there was any outlet from the refuge she had sought?
umn.31951p01033216f	Could it have been with the pur- pose of ridding herself of the assiduities of Mr. Duryea?
umn.31951p01033216f	Could n't he have got there by some shorter cut? ” “ No.
umn.31951p01033216f	Could you describe his manner as he entered the house; how he opened the gate; or whether he stopped to look about him before going in?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Did any one see me do it?
umn.31951p01033216f	Did he not?
umn.31951p01033216f	Did n't you go at once to the dining.room door from the swamp? ” “ No.
umn.31951p01033216f	Did n't you think she believed Mr. Mansell guilty of this crime?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Did she ever express herself as sorry for the position in which she stood toward this family?
umn.31951p01033216f	Did you know, sir, that she had an enemy in this town?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Did you not sit down?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Did you say nothing beyond what you have mentioned?
umn.31951p01033216f	Did you see him or talk to him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Did you speak, sir?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Did you find the constable or succeed in laying hands on that scamp of a hump- back?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Do n't you remember what he said?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Do n't you remember what the station.master said about the curious la at E E Q. E 9.7 In?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do n't you see how fast I am growing old?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do n't you see how the dust lies thick upon the books that used to be my solace and delight?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do n't you see that if he thinks me guilty, he must be innocent?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do you  ant to know what it is?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do you forget that I am blotted with a stain that can never be etfaced?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do you love him, Imogene Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	Do you require any further assurance of my being in the confidence of Mr. Ferris than the fact that I am here, and in full liberty to talk with you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Do you think I am called upon to pursue this matter?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Do you think you could swear to his face if you saw it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Does my friend wish to look at them before I offer them in evidence?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Does that mean you have been made a confidante of her troubles, her responsi- bilities, and her cares?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Fifthly"“ Well, fifthly?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Flinging aside the curtains, he cried impatiently: “ Who is there?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Fourthly — but what is it you wish to say, sir?
umn.31951p01033216f	H?
umn.31951p01033216f	Had I not told you I would save this man from his threatened fate?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Had he caught a glimpse of hope, or was he driven to an extremity in his defence that forced him to assert himself?
umn.31951p01033216f	Had she taken advantage of his consideration to escape him?
umn.31951p01033216f	Had you lost confidence in me?
umn.31951p01033216f	Hamlef.—D0 you see yonder cloud that's almost ln shape of a camel?
umn.31951p01033216f	Has Craik Man- sell, then, been acquitted?

umn.31951p01033216f	Have n't you heard about it?
umn.31951p01033216f	Have you made up your mind to have him arrested for this crime?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Have you no wish or hope remaining of seeing him acquitted of this crime?"
umn.31951p01033216f	He did, or why did he marry me?
umn.31951p01033216f	He gave an opinion, I suppose?"
umn.31951p01033216f	He had scarcely done this, when a short, quick step was heard at the door, and a wide.awake voice called out, cheerily: “ Are you alone, sir?"
umn.31951p01033216f	He thinks what?"
umn.31951p01033216f	He was too nearly concerned in it not to take some interest in the affair?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Here the court was called to order and Byrd had only opportunity to ask: “ Why does she wear a veil?
umn.31951p01033216f	Hickory?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Hildreth, of course, was one, Mansell might very properly be another, but who was the third?
umn.31951p01033216f	How do I know you are innocent?
umn.31951p01033216f	How do you know that?
umn.31951p01033216f	How does it seem to you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	How was he to reach her mind and determine its secrets without alarming her dignity or wounding her heart?
umn.31951p01033216f	I could n't even learn where he was on that day, or where he had ostensibly gone?
umn.31951p01033216f	I have done it, and the separation has come; why attempt to bridge it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	I hope, sir,"he pro- ceeded, glancing at the District Attorney, “ that you have no doubts as to Miss Dare's innocence?"
umn.31951p01033216f	I shall not be absent more than two days, and, in the meantime, you will let me know if any thing important occurs?"
umn.31951p01033216f	I suppose he has told you all about the affair?"
umn.31951p01033216f	I21 “ You, however, always expect your guests to put their names in your book?"
umn.31951p01033216f	I23 “ The day of the murder?"

umn.31951p01033216f	If it is, and the date proves to be correct, we wo n't have much trouble about the little link, will we?"
umn.31951p01033216f	If plunder were wanted, why was not her watch taken from her?
umn.31951p01033216f	If you see him—-"“ If I see him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Imogene, Imogene, is any such farce necessary with me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Is he a wizard, this Orcutt? ” He forgot that a successful lawyer is always more or less of a wizard.

umn.31951p01033216f	Is n't it enough that you have destroyed my happiness, that you should seek to sport with my good.sense?
umn.31951p01033216f	Is there no way he could have reached the house from the back, and so have eluded the gaze of the neighbors round about?
umn.31951p01033216f	Is this chance?
umn.31951p01033216f	It must be solved. ” But the glance he dived deep into space seemed to echo that “ How?
umn.31951p01033216f	It was noon when I got there, or very near it, for her company, if she had had any, was gone, and she was engaged in setting the clock where?

umn.31951p01033216f	Mansell?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Miss Dare returned?
umn.31951p01033216f	Moved by this feeling, she sud- denly asked: “ Have you lost all interest in your client, Mr. Orcutt?
umn.31951p01033216f	Mr. Ferris, will you show me?
umn.31951p01033216f	Mr. Mansell, you are, of course, aware of the manner of Mr. Orcutt's death?
umn.31951p01033216f	Mr. Symonds, have you brought your register for the past week?
umn.31951p01033216f	Mrs. Clemmens dead?
umn.31951p01033216f	Murder?
umn.31951p01033216f	Murdered and in her own house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Not replying to this latter insinuation, Mr. Byrd quietly repeated: “ You got a jog on your elbow?
umn.31951p01033216f	Now tell me what does that mean?
umn.31951p01033216f	Now what was the next fact known?
umn.31951p01033216f	Now where were the three?
umn.31951p01033216f	Now, do you understand the route?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Now, is there any thing in all t/ zis that is contradictory?
umn.31951p01033216f	Now, what do you mean by duty?
umn.31951p01033216f	Now, what is it you have to say to me?"

umn.31951p01033216f	On whom are you going to lay your hand in suspicion?

umn.31951p01033216f	Q ’ “ Who did know it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Say nothing about the time, Hickory, or — or inquire where she supposed Miss Dare to have gone?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Sending for Horace Byrd, he said to him: “ You were on the court.house steps when Mr. Orcutt left and crossed over to the widow's house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	Should he turn to the right or left?
umn.31951p01033216f	Silence followed this admission, which Hickory broke at last by observing: “ The day that sees her on the witness stand will be in- teresting, eh?"
umn.31951p01033216f	So I handicap myself in the same way he did, do you see?
umn.31951p01033216f	Suddenly he slapped his thigh and ex- claimed: “ You might be a lawyer's clerk now, might n't you; or, perhaps, a lawyer himself?

umn.31951p01033216f	“ And what makes you think it is the tramp who is the guilty one in this case?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And what pace do you take when you are tired?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And what reason did he give for this? ” “ He said he had failed to interest any capitalist in his invention."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And what time did she say it was?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And what was it she saw going on in the town at that especial time?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And what, if you had succeeded in this, sir?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And when he inquired: ‘ Why to.morrow?'
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And when was this suggestion given? ” “ After your speech, sir, yesterday afternoon. ” “ And where?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And when was this suggestion given? ” “ After your speech, sir, yesterday afternoon. ” “ And where?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And when you got to the river?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And where did you go then?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And who else should it be?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And who is the person you consider equally open to suspicion with Mr. Hildreth? ” “ Craik Mansell, Mrs. Clemmens ‘ nephew."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And who knows but what such reasons may yet pre- sent themselves?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And why is his name not on the book at that time if he came to your house and put up?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And why should you have any special fears of break- ing your neck?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And why, may I ask?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And why, may I ask?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And why?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And why?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And with that fact added to all the rest you have against me, you say you believe me innocent?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And yet was in Professor Darling's observatory, a mile or so away?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And yet was on his arm?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you can tell us how the interview terminated?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you did not see it again till you found it on the floor of Mrs. Clemmens'dining.room the morning of the murder?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you forsake Craik Mansell, in the hour of his extremity?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you had a conversation with him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you ran there?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you want to be here if she goes out?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you will help me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you will take him my message also?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And you?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And — and was Miss Dare hurt? ” he asked.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And — excuse me ‘ again, Miss Dare — did he propose marriage to you?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And — pardon me if I go too far — were you also there the morning she was murdered?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And"— her voice was so husky he could but with difficulty distinguish her words — “ do you intend to re- call me to the stand to.morrow?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And, may I ask, what has caused this sudden regret?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And, now, what did you learn in Buffalo?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ And, supposing you had had a horse?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Any news this morning? ” “ No,"returned the other, in a tone of complete self- satisfaction.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Any other reason?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Any thing important?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are my strange, wild ways driving you to despair?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are these all the facts you have to give me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are we going to join hands over this business?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are we to go on with the prosecution or are we to stop?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are you going to answer? ” he asked, at last.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are you married or single?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are you sure,"he inquired in a slow, ironical tone, “ that she has not succeeded in making it stronger? ”.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are you sure?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are you sure?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Are you threatened?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ At Professor Darling's house? ” Mr. Byrd felt=- sensation of dismay.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Beginning to think?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But can you positively say he did not make the first motion to leave?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But ean't you, if you try?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But have no facts been obtained, no conclusions reached, that would serve to awaken suspicion or put justice on the right track?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But the girl-- the man — did n't you sec them again before you left?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But the prosecution has closed its case?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But the ring was not yours?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But these terrors of which she speaks?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But what do you mean when you say that you changed it at the moment you turned to come back to the side door?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But you knew he was going?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But, ” hurriedly interposed Byrd, “ you do n't give any credit to her story now, even if you did before the prisoner spoke?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ But,"persisted Mr. Ferris, “ his leaving the house, as he acknowledges he did, by this unfrequented and cir- cuitous road?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Byrd,"said he, “ whom were you looking at during the time Mr. Orcutt was making his speech?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can it be possible,"asked he, “ that any thing new could have transpired since last night to give encourage- ment to the prosecution?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can not you give us his words? ” “ No sir"',.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can not you imagine?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can not you tell me what you did with the ring after you left Miss Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can not you wait a minute?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can you blame me for that?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Can[ find out?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Convinced?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Could you see all this where it was lying on the floor?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Craik Mansell?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Craik, are you guiltless, then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did Mr. Orcutt say that? ” “ He did."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he also tell you what path he had taken to his aunt's house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he have a very bright blue eye and a high color?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he know you were coming?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he look at you a few minutes before speaking, or in any way conduct himself as if he had been set thinking?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he not know you were going to make it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he offer you such a gift then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he say ” — it was Mr. Byrd now who lost a trifle of his fluency—“what sort of voices he heard?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did he wish such an amount?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did it strike you at the time that he reflected on what you said?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did n't he go to the funeral?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did not the counsel for the prosecution order you to make this attempt?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did they go faster than a man could run? ”'“ Yes, sir, I am obliged to say they did."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did this man overhear my words that day?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you accept him? ” “ I did not."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you approach the widow's house by the road and enter into it by means of the front door overlooking the lane? ” “ I did."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you at that time know of his relation to your townswoman, Mrs. Clemmens? ” “ No, sir.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you buy a ticket at the otlice?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you ever wip in running such a race?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you hear that?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you know Gouverneur Hildreth or not?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you know Mr. Clemmens?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you know t/ zis?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you know this gentleman has already been in custody upon suspicion of having committed the crime for which the prisoner is now being tried?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you make these three runs from Mrs. Clemmens'house to Monteith Quarry Station entirely on foot?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you meet any one on the road during any of these three runs which you made?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you not pause long enough to see if you could not cross the stream in some way?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you receive any letters from the prisoner after your return to Sibley?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you receive it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you refuse him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you run when you could?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you say that in passing over the highway you ran? ” “ Yes, sir."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you say, in Mrs. Clemmens'house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you tell any one but your friend that you were going to under- take this run?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Did you- put the question to him?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do I understand you? ” “ You shall, when you tell me just what your convic- tions are in this matter."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do many persons besides the quarrymen take the train at this place?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do not you believe in a God?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you intend to allow me to return to Buffalo? ” he asked.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you know any thing against Miss Dare which other folks do not?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you know in what time they made it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you know this young man?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you know what he was doing when this oc- curred? ” “ No."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you know, Byrd,"he remarked in another moment, “ that it strikes me Mansell did not take this roundabout road to the station?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you love him so madly you would sell yourself for his sake?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you make pictures for papers?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you mean to kill yourself?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you not already know?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you not hear me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you remember, then, the day? ” “ Well, no, now, I do n't."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you see that clock?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you suppose he heard the widow scream?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you think I have lost my reason, Imogene, that you put me such a question as that?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you think she was in the glade back of Widow Clemmens'house?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you think that you were wise in that, Mr. Byrd?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you want it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you want to hear?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you wish any thing, Miss Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Do you wish to return home?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Does he never talk?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Does he?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Does it not strike you that there are rather more persons present than are necessary for the purposes of justice?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Does my learned friend suppose the court will re- ceive any such ambiguous explanation as this?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Excuse me, madam, but is this yours?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ FEBRUARY 24, r868.—Can I stand it?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Facing you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Ferris means to fight, but what of that?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Ferris, is Miss Dare amongst them?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ First?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ G0 on,"said he, “ what else did you hear?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Gentlemen,"said he, “ do you forget that Mr. Orcutt was on the scene of murder some minutes before the rest of you arrived?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Guess you're kept for the fancy business, eh?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Had no communication passed between you from the time you parted in the woods till you came upon each other in the depot you have just mentioned?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Had she no intimates, no relatives?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Had you ever run before or engaged in athletic sports of any kind?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Has he not a machine at present which he desires to bring to the notice of some capitalist?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Has my esteemed friend any testimony on hand to prove that the prisoner had a horse at this place?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have they found the mur- derer, do you think?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have you a liking for the place, or do you meditate any'lengthy stay?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have you any thing more to show me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have you got through? ” inquired Mr. Ferris, nettled.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have you noticed,"the other broke forth, after another puff, “ a certain curious air of disdain that he wears?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have you telegraphed to New York?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Have your convictions been shaken by Hickory's in- genious theory?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ He told you that?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ He was reserved, then, in his manners, uncommuni- cative, possibly morose?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ He was?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ He?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Helen.,"she cried, “ what do you know of earthly anguish?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Her big envelope?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Hickory, do n't you know — have n't you been told what she is expected to say or do here to.day?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Hickory, do you mean to say you will make this run?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Hickory, where have you been ever since last night?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Hickory,"Byrd at last demanded, “ what do you pro- pose to do with your conclusions?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Hickory,"he whispered, “ what do you think of this objection which Mr. Ferris makes?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Hickory,"said he, “ have you ever discovered in the course of your inquiries where Miss Dare was on the morning of the murder?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ His love for Miss Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How account for her seeing that little incident, then, of your stumbling?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How are you related to Mrs. Clemmens, the lady who was found murdered here two days ago?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How came she to be here?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How came you to be in Syracuse the day after the murder?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How came you to do that? ”"I was weary of the strife which had followed my refusal to accept this token.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How came you to know it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How did he get there?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How did you hear of it? ” “ Through the newspapers."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How did you know, then, that he was there?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How do I know?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How do I know?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How do you know I fled from it abruptly?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How do you know as he came to this house at all?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How do you know that?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How do you know,"he quickly asked, “ that I carried away a diamond ring from the tryst you speak of?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How if it were a diamond ring?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How long did you keep it there?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How should I know?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How situated?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How to her own advantage?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How was the lady dressed?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ How?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I am sorry to be obliged to inform you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I do not see here the dark young gentleman whom you call Mr. Mansell?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I do not understand,"she murmured; “ what ques- tion?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I in the street?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I know any thing?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I thought Well, well! ” he suddenly interjected, in a you were satisfied in that regard before?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I wonder what it means?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I, sir?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I? ” she laughed again — a low, gurgling.laugh, that yet had a tone in it that went to the other's heart and awoke strange sensations there.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ I?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ If I am to approach him as a lawyer willing to under- take his cause, do n't you see I can give him no such message as that?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ If I help you? ” “ Whether you help or not, if ’ we can satisfy ourselves and the world that Mr. Orcutt's words were a confession.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Imogene Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Imogene, Imogene, would you drive me mad?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Imogene,"he cried, as she reached him, “ what is the meaning of this?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Imogene,"he said, “ what could have induced you to resort to an expedient so dreadful?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Imogene,"she pleaded, — “ Imogene, what is this terrible grief?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Imogene?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ In other words, you could have saved three minutes if you had been furnished with a horse at that particular spot?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ In this town?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ In what room was the conversation held, and by what door did you come in and go out?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is Miss Dare in?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is Mr. Orcutt in?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is it necessary?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is n't I/21': pleasant?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is not this my home?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is that your cry — always and forever your cry?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is the pencil now to be found in the pocket of Mr. Mansell a blue one?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is there any thing you ought to tell me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is there no hope?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is there not?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is this Hickory a man of good judgment?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Is this so?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ It was in his possession, then,"he continued, “ when you left him on that day and returned to your home? ” THE WEAVING OF A WEB.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ It would"“ What? ” urged the detective, calmly.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ JUNE Io, I872.—What's the use of having a home?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Killing me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Left arm?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Madwoman, ” he cried, “ where will your ravings end?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mansell?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ May I ask,"that individual dryly interrogated, “ why you came back to Sibley, after having left it? ” The response came clear and full.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Meanwhile, have you any objections to answering a few questions I would like to put to you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Men will do the same; then why not Mansell?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare there, in Mr. Orcutt's house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, did the'prisoner express to you at this time irritation as well as regret at the result of his efforts to elicit money from his aunt?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, did you express any anger yourself at the refusal of Mrs. Clemmens to assist the prisoner by lend- ing him such moneys as he required?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, had you been in the street long?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, have you ever seen that ring since?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, was this ring really yours, or were you misled by its appearance into merely thinking it your property?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, were you present in the house when the dying woman spoke the one or two exclamations which have been testified to in this trial?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, what did you mean by those words?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, what did you say to the gentleman who showed you the ring and asked if it were yours?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, will you tell us what you did when you first saw this ring lying on the floor?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare, will you tell us when you left Buffalo?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare,"continued the Prosecuting Attorney, “ did you see this ring again during the interview?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare,"he asked, “ how long did you keep that ring on your finger after you left the house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare,"said he, in his slow, kindly way that nothing could impair, “ do you realize the nature of the evidence you have given to the court?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare,"said he, “ will you look at the prisoner and tell us if you have any acquaintance with him.?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare,"suggested the detective, “ could n't you tell him this much better yourself?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare,"ventured Mr. Ferris, after a moment, “ you say this was five minutes to twelve?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Miss Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mocking you?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ More than she evinced to.day in her testimony?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Hickory, have you ever run in a race with men of well.known reputation for speed?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Hickory, were you present in the court.room just now when the two experts whom I have employed to make the run gave their testimony?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Hickory,"inquired the lawyer, severely, “ are you in possession of any knowledge proving that he did? ” “ No, sir."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Hildreth,"intimated the coroner, rising, “ will you be kind enough to step with me into the adjoin- ing room?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Mansell,"said he, “ are you prepared to submit with composure to the ordeal of confronting Miss Dare?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Mansell?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Orcutt is dead?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mr. Orcutt?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Mrs. Clem- mens might very well have been Mrs. Orcutt. ” “ Do you really think so?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ My secret thought?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ News,"she repeated, “ no; is there any news?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No concem?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No more?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No one else?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No, I do n't guess. ” “ You fear, then? ” “ Fear!'
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No, sir. ” “ Had he no reason to expect to meet you there?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No,"he murmured, “ no; but what led you to her home?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No; I have told Mr. Ferris; is not that enough?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No? ” she broke out, giving way for one instant to a low and terrible laugh which curdled Mr. Ferris'blood.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ No?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Nor come, as I supposed he did, to Sibley?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Nor know that such a letter had been sent?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Not Sally Perkins?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Not any thing?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Now at the hotel?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Now, how many windows has the dining.room?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Now,"he cried, “ what have you to say?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Oh, is this"“ A corner from the Buffalo Courier?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Oh, you did; and do you think it was fair to him to steal a ride on the highway? ” “ Yes, sir."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ One never knows what they are going to run upon in a chase of this kind, do they, sir? ” he remarked, with the greatest cheerfulness.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Or that he did not return in the same way?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Perjury? ” escaped involuntarily from Craik Man- sell's lips.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Proof in rebuttal?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Remember leaping the fence and stumbling a trifle when you came down?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Sh?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Shall I make it clear to you in the way it has become clear to Mr. Mansell?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Shall I show you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Shall I tell her you have been here?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Shall I tell you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Shall I tell you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Shall we join your friends?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ She had money, then?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ She is a relative of the injured woman, or a friend, perhaps?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ She?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Smith? — Smith?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Smith? — Smith?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ So Mr. Ferris was struck with the point you gave him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ So that by taking this wagon you are certain you lost no time?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ So that, as far as you know, it was still in his pocket when you parted?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ So then you do not know?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ So then,"observed the other, with a stern dryness that recalled his manner at the bar, “ she opened a com- munication with you herself?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ So this is the alternative you give me?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Something in it? ” “ Yes.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Such as Gouverneur Hildreth?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Sure?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Tell you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ That surprised you?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The girl said this?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The man himself?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The name of this gentleman and his place of resi- dence?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The prisoner?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The question is, then, in what will it lie?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The truth l"Was that his laugh that rang startlingly through the room?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ The whole distance?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then Mr. Mansell did not send me the letter inviting me to meet him in the hut on a certain day, some few weeks after Mrs. Clemmens was murdered?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then it is a bargain?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then the diamond ring was really hers?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then there is no hope?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then why do you tell me this?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then you do not favor his arrest?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then you propose making what has occurred here public?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then you still believe you can find such a motive?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then you think Miss Dare spoke falsely?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Then you will tell me what you heard?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ There,"he cried, “ who says extraordinary measures are not useful at times?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Think so?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Think so?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Tired?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ To Buffalo?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ To myself?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ To what do I owe this intrusion?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ To you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Too quiet, eh?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Took it without stopping anywhere on the way? ” “ Yes, sir."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Upon what sort of terms did you part?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Upon what terms have you always lived, and what can you tell us of her other relatives and connections?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Very good, sir,"he cried; “ but, first, if you do n't mind, suppose you tell me what brought you to this hut to.day?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Very well, then, you are in a position to tell us some- thing of her history, and why it is she kept herself so close after she cameto this town?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Very well,"he rejoined, “ did the prisoner have any thing to say about his prospects?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Was it an occasion of regret to her?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Was she such a woman?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Was that before you recognized it?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Was that necessary?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Was there any thing said by him to show he did not take the secret path through the woods and across the bog to her back door?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ We understand that,"remarked the Prosecuting At- torney, kindly, and then inquired: “ Was this the last you saw of the prisoner until to- day?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ We were just parting, and I had turned to go, when he said: ‘ Is it good.by, then, Imogene?'
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well, Byrd, what do you think of him? ” For reply, Mr. Byrd stepped forth and took his stand before the District Attorney.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well, Byrd?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well, Hickory?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well, and what passed between you then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well, then, what did he have to say about this one?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well,"said he, facing the District Attorney with cheerful vivacity, “ any orders?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Well,"the fierce looks of the other seemed to say, “ andwhat if it was?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Were they riding or walking? ” “ Walking."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Were you watching him?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What are we going to do now?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What did he say or do to surprise you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What did you do with it then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What did you say?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you intend to do?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you mean by that remark?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you mean, Hickory?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you mean?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you say? ” he repeated.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you think about this, Mr. Byrd?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you think of Orcutt?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you think of the case so far?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What do you want with me?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What does it all mean? ” she asked, sinking into a chair.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What does your opinion amount to if you have n't heard the evidence against her?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What else am I here for?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What has produced the change?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What has size to do with it? ” she suddenly asked, emphasizing the pronoun with an ex- pressive leer.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What has that to do with it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What have they been doing all the morning?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What have you done?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What is it, Imogene?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What is it?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What is that answer to be, Yes or No?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What made you think it was this ring which you had returned to the prisoner the day before?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What makes you think Miss Dare will be called to the witness stand to.morrow?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What makes you think that?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What motive could any one have for killing such an in- offensive woman?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What other man stands accused of having murdered Widow Clemmens?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What other?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What purpose had you in going to Buffalo?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What should I know?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What surprised you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What was he like; young or old?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What was it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What was that?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What was the burden of the first speech you heard?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What, then, is yours? ” asked the coroner, not yield- ing a jot of his determination.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What? ” “ I mean,"corrected the other, “ without entering the main part of the building.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ What?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ When and where?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ When did it happen?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ When you parted with the prisoner in the woods, was it with any arrangement for meeting again before he re- turned to Buffalo?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ When?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ When?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where did you go?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where do I think she was?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where do you live?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where was the poor woman hit?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where were you born?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where were you when you took it of f?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where? ” he demanded.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Where?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Which leaves precisely five minutes after twelve?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Which means you agree with Hickory? ” ventured the District Attorney.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Which of you, then, took it off?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ While we are in court?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who could have practised such deception upon you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who is it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who knows Miss Tremaine?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who was he?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who was that horrid crone I saw shouldering herself through the crowd that collected around the gate yester- day? ” was his remark, however.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who, then, do you think wrote this? ” inquired Mr. Byrd.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Who?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Whom were you looking at? ” “ At the person who would be likely to give me some return for my pains."
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Whom, then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Whose house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why after nine?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why did you do this?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why did your mother put her hand under her pil- low?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why do n't some one answer me? ” she asked, after an instant's pause, seemingly unconscious that, alike to 20 HAND AND RING.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Why?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Will it be very different then from what it is now?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Will it change your feelings any if I promise to ignore what happened here to.day — my trick with Miss Dare and what she revealed and all that?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Will my learned friend allow the witness to give her answer, instead of assuming what it is to be?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Will you be kind enough to say how long you have known him and where it was you first made his acquaint- ance?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Will you tell him? ” she asked.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Will you tell me when and where?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Wit?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ With a conscientious effort to prove that Orcutt's scheme of defence is false?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ With what words did you accost each other? ” “ I do n't know.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ With whom do you live?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Would I wish to be informed of it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Would it help my cause to say?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Would n't you open it if she were dead?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Would you be my wife?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Would you?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Yes, he is in great trouble, you know; is the nephew of the woman who was killed a few days ago at Sibley, do n't you remember?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Yes. ” “ And he afterward visited her house?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You and I no concern?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You are on oath, Miss Dare?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You are then determined upon going to the scaffold, whether or no? ” remarked Mr. Gryce, somewhat grimly.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You are willing to do all this?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You are, then, convinced that Mr. Hildreth is unde- niably the guilty party in this case?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You are, then, going to take up this case?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You believe Miss Dare loves Craik Mansell?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You can tell us, however, if you held any conver- sation?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You can, then, have no doubts of his ability to prove an alibi?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You can?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You could! — show me how?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You dared to?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did n't expect to see me mounting the rostrum in favor of the defence, did you?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did n't see her strike the blow?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did not know Mr. Orcutt then? ” he in- quired.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did not send him out on business of your own, then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did not?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You did?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You do n't agree with this fellow, then, in his conclusions regarding Mr. Hildreth?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You do n't read the Buffalo Courier?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You dropped it into his pocket?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You had no difficulty, then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You have been talking to Miss Dare? ” suggested the prisoner, with subdued sarcasm.
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You have never, then, visited your cousin in Sibley?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You have?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You have?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You know the lady?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You make him out mean.spirited, then, as well as wicked?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You only guess?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You ought never to have asked it?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You passed, however, through the lane, and entered the main street by the usual path?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You perhaps want some explanation of my conduct, or some assurance that the confession I made before the court to.day was true?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You regret, then,"he said, “ that you tossed my happiness away with a breath of your perjured lips?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You remember all the incidents of that short flight?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You remember, then, the hunchback who was so free with his views?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You say positively the ring passed from you to him; that you saw it in his hand after it had left yours?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You say she is not in her right mind?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You see how it was done, do you not?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You see this point where you issue from the woods?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You think so?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You think you can?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You took the noon train, then?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You will have to know some time, and why not now?
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You will have to start from the widow's door, you know?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You will?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You would rather not put the question to him?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You would — what?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ You?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Your birthplace,"pursued the coroner, “ and the place of your present residence?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Your full name, madam?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ Your name, if you please?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“ ‘ ‘ IOULD there be any indiscretion in my asking who that young lady is?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“.Will Heaven spare me nothing?"
umn.31951p01033216f	“.You have, however, no reason to believe he cherished any feelings of animosity toward his benefactress?"
umn.31951p01033216f	” Why did she pause?
umn.31951p01033216f	” he cried, “ how do you do?
umn.31951p01033216f	” put in Byrd, pausing with his pencil in mid- air; “ what did you want to go into the hut for?
umn.31951p01033216f	” she cried, “ remember- ing how you pleaded, and what a revulsion of feeling I was laboring under?
umn.31951p01033216f	” “ Did she do that?"
umn.31951p01033216f	” “ It is on the same side as the door. ” “ There is none, then, which looks down to that place where you leaped the fence?"
umn.31951p01033216f	” “ You have?"
umn.31951p01033216f	”"“ Why?"

uva.x001213303	'But, after all, what do you arrest me for?' uva.x001213303 A commissionaire?
uva.x001213303	After all,murmured my neighbor,"perhaps it was the old man who wrote—"—"With the left hand, then?"
uva.x001213303	Ah, sir, what can I say when I am myself unable to under- stand this dreadful business? uva.x001213303 All that is logical,"approved M. Mechinet,"very logical, without a doubt, but what becomes of the circumstances brought to light by us?"
uva.x001213303	All?
uva.x001213303	Am I not charged with the fol- lowing up of this affair? uva.x001213303 Am I not to be examined again?"
uva.x001213303	Am I not your best friend,he said,"and ought I not to be the confidant of your troubles, if you have any?
uva.x001213303	Am I to stand by and have people walking all over the Grand Archangel as if it were a public street?
uva.x001213303	Am I to stay here forever?
uva.x001213303	And Madame Fauvel, and —Prosper hesitated—"and Made- moiselle Madeleine, how are they?"
uva.x001213303	And at what time did your husband return?
uva.x001213303	And did you know who this rival was?
uva.x001213303	And if you are not successful, will you promise me to wait until to- morrow?
uva.x001213303	And in this way everything was explained?
uva.x001213303	And is this really Louis?
uva.x001213303	And of what use would arms be?
uva.x001213303	And on the floor above?
uva.x001213303	And then?
uva.x001213303	And what about the niece?
uva.x001213303	And what do you think of that, Madame Alexandre?
uva.x001213303	And what have you been doing during my absence, my young friend?
uva.x001213303	And what is to become of Prosper, my poor child — Prosper, whom you love?
uva.x001213303	And when am I to have the rest, if you please?
uva.x001213303	And where are my servants?
uva.x001213303	And who keeps the key?
uva.x001213303	And who will go and see him?
uva.x001213303	And why should you not? uva.x001213303 And why, if you please?"
uva.x001213303	And you are going to this rendezvous?
uva.x001213303	And you did not seek revenge?
uva.x001213303	And you hope to find the mutilated book?
uva.x001213303	And you think he meant what he said? uva.x001213303 And you were not aware of the amount of money in the safe?"
uva.x001213303	And your mother?
uva.x001213303	And, if it is found, what is to be done with it? uva.x001213303 Any one whom I know?"
uva.x001213303	Are you afraid?
uva.x001213303	Are you certain of that?
uva.x001213303	Are you coming?
uva.x001213303	Are you going to open it?
uva.x001213303	Are you going to the chateau, mademoiselle?
uva.x001213303	Are you hurt? uva.x001213303 Are you making fun of me?"
uva.x001213303	Are you not coming with me?
uva.x001213303	Are you sure of what you say?
uva.x001213303	Are you sure you are not mistaking your dreams for real events, my good woman?
uva.x001213303	Are you then going away?
uva.x001213303	Are your parents living?
uva.x001213303	As you have often been here,said M. Verduret,"you must know all about the arrangement of the house: what room is that where we see the light?"
uva.x001213303	At what hour did you go to bed?
uva.x001213303	At what hour did you return with the money?
uva.x001213303	At what time was this order given?
uva.x001213303	Besides, how could he come any sooner? uva.x001213303 But Monistrol?"
uva.x001213303	But by whom, poor fool? uva.x001213303 But do you remember what you replied to her?"
uva.x001213303	But how could I go about an affair like this, where there was not even a trace, a sign of any kind to start from?
uva.x001213303	But how?
uva.x001213303	But if it was not he,exclaimed M. Mechinet,"who was it then?
uva.x001213303	But is he to go unpunished?
uva.x001213303	But suppose I guarantee success?
uva.x001213303	But suppose he does?
uva.x001213303	But what am I to do?
uva.x001213303	But what is lacking to your happiness, unhappy child?
uva.x001213303	But what was it that they said?
uva.x001213303	But what?
uva.x001213303	But where in the world are you going at this hour, unwell as you are?
uva.x001213303	But who are these people? uva.x001213303 But who was the thief, Raoul or De Clameran?
uva.x001213303	But why did you not write to us?
uva.x001213303	But why, then, does M. Fauvel treat Raoul as his nephew?
uva.x001213303	But, M. Menoul, you would be rendering an immense ser- vice to me; would you not venture for my sake?
uva.x001213303	But, monsieur, who else would it be? uva.x001213303 But, my dear —""Had you not sense enough to know that I would follow her, and discover what she is attempting to conceal?
uva.x001213303	But, while on the subject, why do n't you prove that you have sacrificed yourself for my sake? uva.x001213303 But,"observed Prosper, thoughtfully,"who then can Raoul be?"
uva.x001213303	But,said Gas- ton,"how did you know that I was living?
uva.x001213303	Can he suspect anything?
uva.x001213303	Can it be six o'clock? uva.x001213303 Can this be possible?"
uva.x001213303	Can you not feel that the bare idea of your suffering this humiliation drives me mad?
uva.x001213303	Can you recall the exact words of your letter? uva.x001213303 Could you not hurry up?"
uva.x001213303	Did I not tell you to keep quiet?
uva.x001213303	Did Mademoiselle Madeleine banish you from her presence?
uva.x001213303	Did any one dare say that?
uva.x001213303	Did he come last night?
uva.x001213303	Did he live in this house a long time?
uva.x001213303	Did not M. Bertomy say, my dear lady, to the other end of Paris? uva.x001213303 Did she have the cruelty to let you mourn my death?
uva.x001213303	Did they insult you, Gaston? uva.x001213303 Did you ever hear,"Louis asked Raoul,"of the man who burned down his lady- love's house so as to have the bliss of carrying her out in his arms?
uva.x001213303	Did you have any pity for me, my dutiful daughter? uva.x001213303 Did you hear no noise during the night?"
uva.x001213303	Did you not find that he was absent a very long time?
uva.x001213303	Did you sleep in the next room last night?
uva.x001213303	Did you tell him, mother, what I am? uva.x001213303 Did you think ours was a pleasure trip, merely to enjoy this lovely weather?"
uva.x001213303	Did you, on the 27th of February, go to the Bank of France for the three hundred and fifty thousand francs that were stolen? uva.x001213303 Do n't you understand,"replied the stout man,"that I wish to separate Raoul's cause from that of the marquis?
uva.x001213303	Do you begin to understand?
uva.x001213303	Do you hear me? uva.x001213303 Do you hear me?"
uva.x001213303	Do you know him?
uva.x001213303	Do you know the fellow?
uva.x001213303	Do you know this banker?
uva.x001213303	Do you know what has happened, aunt?
uva.x001213303	Do you know where he was?
uva.x001213303	Do you know who the thief is, my chief?
uva.x001213303	Do you know, monsieur?
uva.x001213303	Do you know, my dear Gaston,he began by saying,"that thus far we have spoken of everything except serious matters?
uva.x001213303	Do you know, my dear friend,asked M. Verduret,"what part of France this devoted friend of yours comes from?"
uva.x001213303	Do you not agree with me,continued Madeleine, pityingly,"that peace of mind is necessary to you?
uva.x001213303	Do you not hear the noise they are making with their sabres, sir? uva.x001213303 Do you pretend,"said M. de Clameran,"to be ignorant of M. Fauvel's misfortune?"
uva.x001213303	Do you remember what M. Bertomy did when you handed him the notes? uva.x001213303 Do you see anything on the banner like what he has been de- scribing?"
uva.x001213303	Do you still think you ought to leave France?
uva.x001213303	Do you still think, sir,said Prosper when the man had left the room,"you see a woman's hand in this affair?"
uva.x001213303	Do you suppose Madame Fauvel to be innocent?
uva.x001213303	Do you suppose for an instant, sir,she indignantly exclaimed,"that I will consent to any such disgraceful project?"
uva.x001213303	Do you suppose that I will allow your senti- mentality to blast all my hopes? uva.x001213303 Do you surrender?"
uva.x001213303	Do you think he was murdered?
uva.x001213303	Do you think so?
uva.x001213303	Do you think you would recognize the commissionaire again?
uva.x001213303	Do you want me to lose my place? uva.x001213303 Do you wish to insult me, sir?"
uva.x001213303	Do you- mean,she asked with distrust,"that he has changed his inten- tions?"
uva.x001213303	Does he know that Fauvel is Valentine's husband? uva.x001213303 Does he reside in Paris?"
uva.x001213303	Does she understand me? uva.x001213303 Exactly; and on which floor, if you please?"
uva.x001213303	First of all, madame,he began,"I must ask if we can be overheard by any one?
uva.x001213303	First of all,began M. Bertomy,"how much have you re- maining of the stolen three hundred and fifty thousand francs?"
uva.x001213303	For heaven's sake, where are you going?
uva.x001213303	For the second time do you surrender?
uva.x001213303	For your sake? uva.x001213303 Gaston?"
uva.x001213303	Had you forgotten it on the day of the theft?
uva.x001213303	Has the little fool returned?
uva.x001213303	Have you discovered any trace?
uva.x001213303	Have you seen the costumier?
uva.x001213303	Have you your life- preserver?
uva.x001213303	Have you,persisted the magistrate,"any cause for believing that M. Fauvel robbed himself?"
uva.x001213303	He said that, did he? uva.x001213303 He was then considered rich?"
uva.x001213303	How can they be concerned in it?
uva.x001213303	How can you ask such a question as this, my chief, of a man who used to be a rider in the Bouthor Circus?
uva.x001213303	How could yon have discovered this?
uva.x001213303	How did he look when he came home?
uva.x001213303	How did he look when he came out?
uva.x001213303	How do we know,said he,"that Mademoiselle Madeleine is here on her own account?
uva.x001213303	How do you know that?
uva.x001213303	How is it that you keep people waiting?
uva.x001213303	How is that?
uva.x001213303	How is that?
uva.x001213303	How long since?
uva.x001213303	How much do you gain a day as a commissionaire?
uva.x001213303	How much will you want for driving us to Vesinet?
uva.x001213303	How old are you?
uva.x001213303	How so?
uva.x001213303	How so?
uva.x001213303	How so?
uva.x001213303	How? uva.x001213303 I am asking you, madame,"he insisted,"where your hus- band spent the evening of the day before yesterday?"
uva.x001213303	I am such a one, Monsieur le Marquis; do n't you remem- ber me? uva.x001213303 I have another idea,"said Joseph after deep thought.—"What is it?
uva.x001213303	I have sold Clameran,he finally said.—"The chateau too?
uva.x001213303	I know, I know,said M. Verduret;"go on; what next?"
uva.x001213303	I never could guess riddles,she said tartly;"will you be kind enough to explain what you mean?"
uva.x001213303	I see the scratch,said he,"but what does it prove?"
uva.x001213303	I suppose you know who the woman is, whom you permit to bear the honest name borne by your mother?
uva.x001213303	I suppose, then, you have my key?
uva.x001213303	I think I have solved the problem,he said.—"What problem?
uva.x001213303	I think —"That the game is lost? uva.x001213303 I thought,"he stam- mered,"I wished —""You wished to hide your mistress?"
uva.x001213303	I, my lord doge?
uva.x001213303	If it was a question of myself, sir,he said,"I should avail myself of the opportunity, but you?
uva.x001213303	Impossible?
uva.x001213303	In six hours,she would say to herself,"in three hours, in one hour, all will be discovered; and then what will happen?"
uva.x001213303	In there?
uva.x001213303	In what way can I serve you, monsieur?
uva.x001213303	In what way, if you please?
uva.x001213303	In what way, sir? uva.x001213303 Is Ma- dame Fauvel at home?"
uva.x001213303	Is Madame Gipsy at home?
uva.x001213303	Is he at home?
uva.x001213303	Is he here now?
uva.x001213303	Is it indeed you? uva.x001213303 Is it losing one's head,"I said,"to find the solution of the 1292 THE LITTLE OLD MAN OF BATIGNOLLES problem?
uva.x001213303	Is it possible that you do n't know him?
uva.x001213303	Is it possible, indeed?
uva.x001213303	Is it possible,he said,"that you are in love with Madeleine? — you!
uva.x001213303	Is it true?
uva.x001213303	Is my will of no account?
uva.x001213303	Is not that the room whither I was conducted when I first arrived?
uva.x001213303	Is that all?
uva.x001213303	Is there anything so very extraordinary in it? uva.x001213303 Is there anything surprising in that?"
uva.x001213303	Is this door closed at night?
uva.x001213303	Is this the way to show your love for me?
uva.x001213303	Joseph, what the deuce can that old witch want with me?
uva.x001213303	M. Fauvel is quick- tempered,- is he not?
uva.x001213303	Madame Monistrol?
uva.x001213303	Maybe it was the roof, then, and the house is top- heavy?
uva.x001213303	My dear sir, would you have this affair become a public scandal? uva.x001213303 My dearly loved brother?
uva.x001213303	My uncle? uva.x001213303 Now tell me, who is this fellow?"
uva.x001213303	Now that we are alone, Prosper,he said,"have you nothing to tell me?"
uva.x001213303	Now what do you think of this information?
uva.x001213303	Now,M. Mechinet continued,"what kind of a man was this M. Pigoreau, called Antenor?"
uva.x001213303	Now,continued my neighbor,"can any one imagine a mur- derer stupid enough to denounce himself by writing his own name beside the body of his victim?
uva.x001213303	Now,said the magistrate,"are you well enough to answer clearly any questions I may put to you?"
uva.x001213303	Of course they are talking over the scene; but what has become of De Lagors and De Clameran?
uva.x001213303	Of course, my chief; but must I let him know that I suspect any one besides the banker or cashier?
uva.x001213303	One more question, sir,said he,"were you at home the evening before the robbery?"
uva.x001213303	One thing more,said the magistrate:"how did you spend your evening the night of the crime?"
uva.x001213303	One- third, is it not? uva.x001213303 Perhaps he has written to him?
uva.x001213303	Poor boy,said the banker sadly;"do you think I am igno- rant of the life you have been leading since you left my roof a year ago?
uva.x001213303	Prosper is to be arrested, accused of being a thief?
uva.x001213303	Raoul? uva.x001213303 Robbed?"
uva.x001213303	Say, miserable girl? uva.x001213303 Shall I be able to control my feelings?"
uva.x001213303	Shall I see you again, mother?
uva.x001213303	She did not tell you?
uva.x001213303	Should I be comfortable there?
uva.x001213303	So I supposed; but have you any means of success?
uva.x001213303	Suppose we are? uva.x001213303 Tell us, Prosper,"said young Cavaillon,"has the safe been broken open?"
uva.x001213303	That accounts for his staying here in the summer; but in winter?
uva.x001213303	That being the case, what deductions would you draw from our discovery?
uva.x001213303	That is all,said M. Verduret;"do you think it enough?"
uva.x001213303	That might be the case,he murmured,"who knows?"
uva.x001213303	That was very stingy on his part,said he;"why did he not offer the whole?
uva.x001213303	That you are surprised to find me here? uva.x001213303 The house, perhaps, was badly built?"
uva.x001213303	The question,'Is it also he who stole Madame Fauvel's diamonds?' uva.x001213303 Then M. de Clameran is a friend of yours?"
uva.x001213303	Then he has never spoken to you of his past?
uva.x001213303	Then his wife is young?
uva.x001213303	Then my son- in- law, the phenix we are supposing, would he have the forethought to provide for my requirements?
uva.x001213303	Then the valet gave you no information?
uva.x001213303	Then you can discover no motive for your cashier's con- duct?
uva.x001213303	Then you can tell me where this M. Victor resides?
uva.x001213303	Then you did not expect to see me? uva.x001213303 Then you did the business all alone?
uva.x001213303	Then you have forgotten all that happened? uva.x001213303 Then you think there is no possible doubt or error about this part of his story?"
uva.x001213303	Then, madame,I said,"you believe Monistrol stupid enough to denounce himself by writing down his name?"
uva.x001213303	Then, madame,he insisted,"you are certain that Monistrol came yesterday evening?"
uva.x001213303	Then, my chief,said Fanferlot, clinging to his idea,"you have been more successful than Madame Alexandre; you have made the little girl confess?
uva.x001213303	There is heavy playing at Wilson's?
uva.x001213303	This Madame Nina Gipsy is doubtless a friend of M. Prosper Bertomy?
uva.x001213303	This old lady, seated before a mirror tearing out her hair — especially the gray ones — you have seen before; do you recognize her? uva.x001213303 Through whom?"
uva.x001213303	Understand, my chief? uva.x001213303 Was it not settled that you should have perfect confidence in me?"
uva.x001213303	Was that why you sent me those telegrams?
uva.x001213303	We restore it, sir, and how? uva.x001213303 Well, my dear,"he asked encouragingly,"what news do you bring me?"
uva.x001213303	Well, what is it?
uva.x001213303	Well, what next?
uva.x001213303	Well, what then?
uva.x001213303	Well, your master is not without sense after all,said he;"do n't you think he showed it by saying that?"
uva.x001213303	Well,he said to him,"have you reflected?"
uva.x001213303	Well,he said,"a robbery has been perpetrated, but by whom?
uva.x001213303	Well,said the driver,"at this time of night, in such dread- ful weather,- it ought to be — twenty- five francs —""And to drive very fast?"
uva.x001213303	Well,she asked, with a forced laugh,"what is it you want?"
uva.x001213303	Well?
uva.x001213303	Well?
uva.x001213303	What about Clameran?
uva.x001213303	What agent?
uva.x001213303	What ails you?
uva.x001213303	What am I to do now, master?
uva.x001213303	What are we to do with this money?
uva.x001213303	What are you afraid of?
uva.x001213303	What can I say, mother?
uva.x001213303	What can I serve the gentlemen with?
uva.x001213303	What can all this mean?
uva.x001213303	What can be done now?
uva.x001213303	What can he want with so much money?
uva.x001213303	What can these wretches want?' uva.x001213303 What can they be doing all this time?"
uva.x001213303	What can they be doing?
uva.x001213303	What can this mean?
uva.x001213303	What did my father tell you?
uva.x001213303	What do I intend doing?
uva.x001213303	What do I risk by taking a walk at this hour, in a quiet part of the city?
uva.x001213303	What do you desire, sir?
uva.x001213303	What do you mean by humiliation?
uva.x001213303	What do you mean, Valentine?
uva.x001213303	What do you mean? uva.x001213303 What do you mean?"
uva.x001213303	What do you mean?
uva.x001213303	What do you mean?
uva.x001213303	What do you require, gentlemen?
uva.x001213303	What do you require, gentlemen?
uva.x001213303	What do you think of my purchase?
uva.x001213303	What do you want with me?
uva.x001213303	What do you want?
uva.x001213303	What do you wish me to say?
uva.x001213303	What does this fresh impertinence mean?
uva.x001213303	What does this mean?
uva.x001213303	What gentleman?
uva.x001213303	What good will it do you to know what my plans are?
uva.x001213303	What good would that do? uva.x001213303 What happened next?"
uva.x001213303	What has hap- pened?
uva.x001213303	What has happened? uva.x001213303 What has happened?"
uva.x001213303	What has happened?
uva.x001213303	What has happened?
uva.x001213303	What have I done?
uva.x001213303	What have you learned?
uva.x001213303	What have you to answer?
uva.x001213303	What have you to tell me?
uva.x001213303	What is it?
uva.x001213303	What is left to me now?
uva.x001213303	What is that to me?
uva.x001213303	What is the matter? uva.x001213303 What is the matter?
uva.x001213303	What is the matter?
uva.x001213303	What is the matter?
uva.x001213303	What is the matter?
uva.x001213303	What is the matter?
uva.x001213303	What is the meaning of this?
uva.x001213303	What is the use of living?
uva.x001213303	What is this 918 FILE NUMBER 113 I hear? uva.x001213303 What is your father's calling?"
uva.x001213303	What is your plan of escape?
uva.x001213303	What is your profession?
uva.x001213303	What makes you so positive? uva.x001213303 What matters the risk?"
uva.x001213303	What more do we want?
uva.x001213303	What motives,said they all,"actuate this strange man?
uva.x001213303	What must I do now, chief?
uva.x001213303	What new misfortune strikes us now?
uva.x001213303	What next?
uva.x001213303	What reason, sir, would he have for doing this?
uva.x001213303	What reasons?
uva.x001213303	What should I do but seek the villain who has ruined me?
uva.x001213303	What then shall I do?
uva.x001213303	What then? uva.x001213303 What was he like?"
uva.x001213303	What was the word? uva.x001213303 What was the word?"
uva.x001213303	What will you gain by acting thus, my dear madame?
uva.x001213303	What, you be an office messenger? uva.x001213303 What?"
uva.x001213303	Whatlexclaimed Prosper,"after the insulting language he used the day of the robbery, did he dare to visit the house?"
uva.x001213303	When can we see this Fougeroux?
uva.x001213303	Where am I to obtain justice if you deceive me? uva.x001213303 Where are they?"
uva.x001213303	Where are we going now?
uva.x001213303	Where did all this money come from? uva.x001213303 Where did he reside before?"
uva.x001213303	Where did you go when you left Vesinet?
uva.x001213303	Where did you obtain them?
uva.x001213303	Where do the servants sleep?
uva.x001213303	Where do these stairs lead to?
uva.x001213303	Where do you live?
uva.x001213303	Where does he live?
uva.x001213303	Where is he now?
uva.x001213303	Where is he?
uva.x001213303	Where is it?
uva.x001213303	Where was it on the evening of the robbery?
uva.x001213303	Where were you born?
uva.x001213303	Where? uva.x001213303 Where?"
uva.x001213303	Whither do you hope to fly?
uva.x001213303	Who gave you permission to desert your post, at the risk of ruining us both? uva.x001213303 Who gave you this letter?"
uva.x001213303	Who in the world can have made this appointment in an omnibus office? uva.x001213303 Who is that gentleman?"
uva.x001213303	Who knows what may happen?
uva.x001213303	Who knows? uva.x001213303 Who lent you the money?"
uva.x001213303	Who told you to bring it? — a gentleman or a lady J"Neither, sir, it was a commissionaire.
uva.x001213303	Who will prevent me?
uva.x001213303	Who would prevent me?
uva.x001213303	Who? uva.x001213303 Why all this secrecy?"
uva.x001213303	Why did you not tell me that before? uva.x001213303 Why do you always interrupt me?"
uva.x001213303	Why do you devote yourself exclusively to the marquis?
uva.x001213303	Why do you distress me by FILE NUMBER 113 1167 making these preparations for death, merely because you are suffering from a slight indisposition? uva.x001213303 Why do you not answer me?"
uva.x001213303	Why had the proprietor lowered his rents?
uva.x001213303	Why have you thus risked your life — a life far dearer to me than my own? uva.x001213303 Why should he tell me?
uva.x001213303	Why so? uva.x001213303 Why was he so frightened?
uva.x001213303	Why would this be so disastrous?
uva.x001213303	Why yesterday?
uva.x001213303	Why, Valentine?
uva.x001213303	Why, my child, you are not going out?
uva.x001213303	Why,he pon- dered,"did Raoul assume this disguise?
uva.x001213303	Why?
uva.x001213303	Will they let you see the accused?
uva.x001213303	Will you be good enough to tell me,he said in a vexed tone,"how much you have spent during the last year?"
uva.x001213303	Will you not let me know what they were?
uva.x001213303	Will you not tell me, sir,he asked,"who you are, and your reasons for coming to my assistance?"
uva.x001213303	Will you promise me, sir, to tell me the truth, exactly what you yourself think, no matter how painful it may be for me?
uva.x001213303	Would there be much difficulty in selling these ruins?
uva.x001213303	Yes, but how was that force applied? uva.x001213303 Yes, why?"
uva.x001213303	Yes? uva.x001213303 Yet you heard him offer me half of his fortune?"
uva.x001213303	You always kept your key?
uva.x001213303	You are going to Paris?
uva.x001213303	You certainly would not wish me to marry an honest man, mother, without confessing to him everything connected with the past? uva.x001213303 You do n't suppose I am a man to trust to mere gossip; do you?"
uva.x001213303	You do not answer me,said Gaston, with surprise;"are there any obstacles to my plans?"—"None.
uva.x001213303	You hear this?
uva.x001213303	You know Cavaillon?
uva.x001213303	You mean M. de Clameran?
uva.x001213303	You persist in your obstinacy, do you?
uva.x001213303	You say his name is Lecoq?
uva.x001213303	You say you have no wish to conceal any of your actions; then why this note stealthily thrown to one of your companions?
uva.x001213303	You want to know, do you? uva.x001213303 You were listening?"
uva.x001213303	You would dare to take such a step, Mademoiselle de la Verberie? uva.x001213303 You — you believe me guilty?
uva.x001213303	You? uva.x001213303 Your description is so vague that it would suit every com- missionaire in the city; but did your colleague tell you who sent the letter?"
uva.x001213303	—A suspicion?
uva.x001213303	—And suppose Madame Fauvel dies to- morrow; what will become of you?
uva.x001213303	—And why not, pray?
uva.x001213303	—And you intend, after a lapse of twenty- three years, to claim these jewels?
uva.x001213303	—And you punished the rascals?
uva.x001213303	—And you wish me to sacrifice you to this fiend?
uva.x001213303	—Are you certain of it?
uva.x001213303	—At what time do you think of starting?
uva.x001213303	—But how did you know of all the conversations between the villains?"
uva.x001213303	—Change our tactics?
uva.x001213303	—Do you dare assume that tone toward me?"
uva.x001213303	—Do you really think so?"—"Certainly."
uva.x001213303	—Do you think so?"
uva.x001213303	—Do you think that Madame Fauvel and her niece will ask any questions?
uva.x001213303	—Does he not want it for Raoul?
uva.x001213303	—Even your child, madame?"
uva.x001213303	—How can we find out?
uva.x001213303	—How so?
uva.x001213303	—How, poor foolish boy?
uva.x001213303	—I am only 1160 FILE NUMBER 113 in love with her money,"retorted Raoul with an angry frown. —"Then what are you complaining of?
uva.x001213303	—If necessary, may I fire?
uva.x001213303	—Is he rich?
uva.x001213303	—Is in- formation on that point necessary?"
uva.x001213303	—Is it possible?"
uva.x001213303	—Is that all he did?
uva.x001213303	—Is that what you call a scheme?"
uva.x001213303	—Is that what you call a seri- ous matter?"
uva.x001213303	—Is that your only objection?
uva.x001213303	—My brother ought not to hesi- tate,"interposed Louis;"he will be arrested here, thrown into prison, vilified in court, and — who knows?
uva.x001213303	—My dear brother, how could I hope for that?
uva.x001213303	—Of course; and if anything should happen at Paris?
uva.x001213303	—Of whom, then?
uva.x001213303	—Pros- per?
uva.x001213303	—She receives the Marquis de Clameran's visits?
uva.x001213303	—Some friend of yours?
uva.x001213303	—Suppose I am rich,"replied Louis triumphantly;"what does that matter?
uva.x001213303	—Then he comes from Brazil?
uva.x001213303	—Then why have you FILE NUMBER 113 • 1157 come here?"
uva.x001213303	—This arrangement suits me very well; but where are your securities?"
uva.x001213303	—To what?
uva.x001213303	—Well, does finding out his address assist us?"
uva.x001213303	—Well, if I do n't?
uva.x001213303	—Well, suppose they do?
uva.x001213303	—Well?
uva.x001213303	—Were you any better in London?
uva.x001213303	—What are you about to do?
uva.x001213303	—What did you do?"
uva.x001213303	—What is the mat- ter, then?
uva.x001213303	—What order?
uva.x001213303	—What sort of a woman do you think I am, sir?
uva.x001213303	—Who is he?
uva.x001213303	—Who would make them?
uva.x001213303	—Why did you not say so before?
uva.x001213303	—Why so?
uva.x001213303	—Why this question?
uva.x001213303	—Why to- night, Madeleine?
uva.x001213303	—With me, my good woman?
uva.x001213303	—Would it then, madame, be such a very great misfortune for Mademoi- selle Madeleine to become the Marquise de Clameran?"
uva.x001213303	—Would you consent to disappear, leave France, and return to London, if I paid you a good round sum?"
uva.x001213303	—Would you have recognized me?"—"Instantly.
uva.x001213303	—Yes, here I am, my good woman; what have you to tell me?
uva.x001213303	—Yes, what can they be doing?"
uva.x001213303	—Yes; but you will write to me?
uva.x001213303	—Yes; what of it?"
uva.x001213303	—You have not given up your idea of going to see her?
uva.x001213303	—You think it difficult, I suppose?
uva.x001213303	—You think so, do you?
uva.x001213303	—You think so?"
uva.x001213303	—You wish to fly?
uva.x001213303	'"Do n't act like a child,'he said,'what about your uncle?
uva.x001213303	'What do you want?'
uva.x001213303	-Still, do you know what I would do if I were you?"
uva.x001213303	1"How is that?"
uva.x001213303	1132 FILE NUMBER 113 Madame Fauvel would ask in despair.—"What do I want?
uva.x001213303	1266 THE LITTLE OLD MAN OF BATIGNOLLES"At this moment Goulard approached him, and for the sec- ond time asked:'Well, do you confess your guilt?'
uva.x001213303	1280 THE LITTLE OLD MAN OF BATIGNOLLES She slightly shrugged her shoulders and answered:"Is that stupidity?
uva.x001213303	3 1034 FILE NUMBER 113 abruptly asked,"did this Raoul, who is devoted to gay society, come to choose a lonely country house like this to live in?"
uva.x001213303	39?"
uva.x001213303	928 FILE NUMBER 113 In the eyes of justice who would be the innocent man?
uva.x001213303	970 FILE NUMBER 113"Did the latter tell you that M. de Lagors was going away?"
uva.x001213303	:"But did he steal anything, break some piece of furniture, anything to give us an idea as to the motive for the crime?"
uva.x001213303	About forty thousand francs, perhaps?
uva.x001213303	After scrutinizing him from head to foot with undisguised contempt, she said haughtily:"What is it that you want?"
uva.x001213303	Ah, why did she listen to her mother?
uva.x001213303	All these in- genious explanations might be logical, but what foundation did they possess?
uva.x001213303	Am I any more so to- day than I was yesterday?
uva.x001213303	Am I not indebted to you for more than life?
uva.x001213303	Am I worthy of her?
uva.x001213303	An ironmaster, was it not?"
uva.x001213303	And did you not play baccarat at Wilson's, and lose eighteen hundred francs?"
uva.x001213303	And does it become you to be constantly reproaching me with my long- past imprudence?
uva.x001213303	And for what?
uva.x001213303	And how does Madeleine come to be mixed up in this disgraceful affair?"
uva.x001213303	And how much is this property worth?
uva.x001213303	And if it is, does he know?
uva.x001213303	And now, when the happiness of us all is at stake, do you suppose I would hesitate?
uva.x001213303	And suppose I had not had the securities which I have sacri- ficed?
uva.x001213303	And to those who were surprised at his military appearance, he answered:"What can I do? — these women!"
uva.x001213303	And what has happened since?
uva.x001213303	And what more could she wish for?
uva.x001213303	And what were his means of liveli- hood in London?
uva.x001213303	And what would 1144 FILE NUMBER 113 become of her now, poor child, when he was no longer there to love, console, and defend her?
uva.x001213303	And where will your system lead you?
uva.x001213303	And who could prove that he was not sincere in what he said?
uva.x001213303	And who is working even now to maintain your present life of ease, and insure you a splendid future?
uva.x001213303	And why?"
uva.x001213303	And without reflecting I asked:"Where then, madame, was that faithful dog the evening of the crime?"
uva.x001213303	And, even if he did answer his questions, would he not lie?
uva.x001213303	Another asked:"Do n't you remember the time when you lent me your gun to go shoot- ing?"
uva.x001213303	Are not Abel and Lucien brothers to me?
uva.x001213303	Are you her rela- tive, friend, or ally?
uva.x001213303	Are you so very weak that you can not constrain yourself for five minutes?
uva.x001213303	Are you wounded?"
uva.x001213303	As for Tarot and his wife, were they innocent?
uva.x001213303	As soon as the waiter, of whom he ordered a glass of beer, had left them, M. Verduret said to Prosper:"Well, are all our com- missions executed?"
uva.x001213303	As we entered, she stood up, like a frightened doe, and with a voice which seemed to be broken by tears, she asked:"What do you want, gentlemen?"
uva.x001213303	At this broad insinuation, Louis turned pale, and threateningly exclaimed:"You insolent scoundrel, what do you mean?
uva.x001213303	B. Casimir Godeuil be, who is thus adver- tised for?"
uva.x001213303	Because I am the head of a bank, and he only a clerk, does it follow that my word is more to be relied upon than his?
uva.x001213303	Bertomy?
uva.x001213303	Besides, can I tell how long my good resolutions will last?
uva.x001213303	Besides, did our first suppositions account for Madeleine's resigned obedience?
uva.x001213303	But I can count on you, can I not?
uva.x001213303	But had Pros- per anything to do with the robbery?
uva.x001213303	But how can I do it?
uva.x001213303	But how can Mademoiselle Madeleine resign herself so graciously to his insipid flattery?
uva.x001213303	But how prove this to Madeleine?
uva.x001213303	But how?
uva.x001213303	But of what use was his anger?
uva.x001213303	But suddenly her blood ran cold at a sudden thought which crossed her mind:"Would Valentine consent?"
uva.x001213303	But to what would this lead?
uva.x001213303	But what am I saying?
uva.x001213303	But what benefit would she derive from this proof of the mar- quis's anxiety?
uva.x001213303	But what could he do now at this time of night?
uva.x001213303	But what did I care now about that discovery?
uva.x001213303	But what friend would believe him when his father, who should have been the last to suspect him, had refused to believe him?
uva.x001213303	But what had become of M. Jandidier?
uva.x001213303	But what has become of the mutilated prayer- book?.
uva.x001213303	But what is he driving at?"
uva.x001213303	But who was the lady you defended?"
uva.x001213303	But why had he confessed?
uva.x001213303	But without giving her time to open her mouth, M. Mechinet asked:"Where is Madame Monistrol?"
uva.x001213303	By what chance could Lecoq be waiting for him?
uva.x001213303	Can I for- get?
uva.x001213303	Can he be laying a trap for me?
uva.x001213303	Can he be thinking of cutting loose from me and making off with all the profits of our enterprise?"
uva.x001213303	Can it have 1006 FILE NUMBER 113 been burned?
uva.x001213303	Can you not see that Mademoiselle Madeleine knows who the thief is?
uva.x001213303	Can you not understand that all your fellow clerks are jealous of you?
uva.x001213303	Can you not understand that an ignominious confession like this should never be forced from a woman by any human power?
uva.x001213303	Can you not understand that this floor burns my feet?"
uva.x001213303	Can you take him in your boat as far as the mouth of the Rhone?"
uva.x001213303	Could I abandon her to follow my lover?"
uva.x001213303	Could all this brotherly affection be assumed to blind him as to his real plans?
uva.x001213303	Could she basely deceive the confidence and love of an honorable man?
uva.x001213303	Could she be disturbed at having no dowry for her?
uva.x001213303	Could she reduce her mother to want and misery?
uva.x001213303	Could this be the cherished wife whom he had worshiped for so many years?
uva.x001213303	Could this really be the plump and merry Mihonne, who had been the confidante of the little fairy of La Verberie?
uva.x001213303	Could you not speak seriously to him, madame?
uva.x001213303	De Clameran knew that he could marry her at once if he chose; but in what way?
uva.x001213303	Did I not tell you I was very rich?
uva.x001213303	Did ho know him?
uva.x001213303	Did it never occur to you that your disgrace might kill me?
uva.x001213303	Did pure domestic joys pall upon you and weary you, driving you to seek the excitement of sinful passion?
uva.x001213303	Did the comtesse suspect the love of the young engineer?
uva.x001213303	Did the ladies go out yesterday?
uva.x001213303	Did the robber enter from without?"
uva.x001213303	Did we not come to the conclusion that she was sacrificing herself for the benefit of some one else?
uva.x001213303	Did you ever hear of this Caldas?"
uva.x001213303	Did you ever suspect your cashier of being dishonest?"
uva.x001213303	Did you not bring a middle- aged lady here?"
uva.x001213303	Did you not hear me?
uva.x001213303	Did you notice how pale he looked when he came in?"
uva.x001213303	Did you own —""Your past folly?
uva.x001213303	Did you see Madeleine?
uva.x001213303	Did you tell your confiding husband of the lines of shame concealed beneath your wreath of orange- blos- soms?
uva.x001213303	Did you think that Prosper would have been so warmly welcomed by your uncle and myself, had we not approved of him in every respect?"
uva.x001213303	Directly he gets here, what does he see?
uva.x001213303	Do I not know the temptations that beset a young man in a city like Paris?
uva.x001213303	Do I possess anything legitimately?
uva.x001213303	Do n't you know that M. Fauvel and his cashier had keys, and they only?
uva.x001213303	Do they not even have the im- pertinence to come up to me while I am out shooting, and ask to see my license? — I, a De Clameran, show a license!"
uva.x001213303	Do vou wish me to prove an unnatural daughter, and desert her now that she is poor, lonely, and friendless, with no one but me to cling to?
uva.x001213303	Do you agree?"
uva.x001213303	Do you begin to comprehend my plan?"
uva.x001213303	Do you call that your duty?
uva.x001213303	Do you know anything about the contents of this note?"
uva.x001213303	Do you know how much I shall lose by paying him this money?
uva.x001213303	Do you know how to drive a carriage and manage horses?"
uva.x001213303	Do you know that our creditors threaten to turn us out of La Verberie?
uva.x001213303	Do you know to what you expose me?
uva.x001213303	Do you know what anxiety of mind has done to you?
uva.x001213303	Do you know what mortification I suffered before being allowed to see you?
uva.x001213303	Do you know where he went?
uva.x001213303	Do you know whither the road of dissipation leads, my good nephew?
uva.x001213303	Do you know who that man is that you wish to kill?"
uva.x001213303	Do you mean to say that nothing has gone wrong in Paris?
uva.x001213303	Do you not inhale the odor of contentment and happi- ness emanating from this admirable picture, gentlemen?
uva.x001213303	Do you not know that some faults should be persistently denied, no matter how glaring the evidence against them?
uva.x001213303	Do you not prefer this beautiful Beara sky?
uva.x001213303	Do you not see my brother coming after me?
uva.x001213303	Do you not see that I know all?
uva.x001213303	Do you not see that you are a wreck of your former self?
uva.x001213303	Do you not think she had a deadly grudge against him?
uva.x001213303	Do you not think you have already done sufficient mischief?"
uva.x001213303	Do you persist in maintaining an attitude so absurd and ridiculous that no one can possibly give you credence?
uva.x001213303	Do you pretend to say that you did your duty, and told all you knew to the investigating magistrate?
uva.x001213303	Do you pro- pose to remain in Paris?"
uva.x001213303	Do you re- member the scratch you discovered on the safe?
uva.x001213303	Do you really care for your foggy Paris?
uva.x001213303	Do you see any other obstacle to this plan, madame?"
uva.x001213303	Do you suppose that you have seen all I possess?
uva.x001213303	Do you suppose, then, that chance alone told me the word and placed the money in the safe?"
uva.x001213303	Do you suspect any one else?"
uva.x001213303	Do you think he will grant it?"—"He!
uva.x001213303	Do you think that I would consent to accept your wealth during your lifetime?
uva.x001213303	Do you think that I would have risked my twenty years'savings in an experiment of this sort?
uva.x001213303	Do you think that a huge beard and a blouse are a sufficient transformation?
uva.x001213303	Do you think that the jeers and scoffing of the world could make me suffer more than the pangs of my guilty conscience?
uva.x001213303	Do you understand?"
uva.x001213303	Do you understand?"
uva.x001213303	Do you wish our shame to be made public — to make us the laughing- stock of the neighborhood?"
uva.x001213303	Do you wish your wife's name to be brought into a case of this nature at the police court?"
uva.x001213303	Do you wonder, then, that I should seek that rest which can only be obtained by suicide?"
uva.x001213303	Do you?"
uva.x001213303	Does he sus- pect anything?"
uva.x001213303	Does he think of turning us off?"
uva.x001213303	Does my plan suit you?"
uva.x001213303	Does she think I'm serious?"
uva.x001213303	Even if I no longer loved her, I would still marry her, because she has given herself to me; because, ca n't you under- stand?
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 1001"And suppose it never should be explained?"
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 1019"What do you refer to?"
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 1115"It is true, then, you have forgotten Valentine Raoul?"
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 1161"Well,"he carelessly asked, as Louis approached,"have you decided upon anything?
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 927"M. Fauvel often comes to the cashier's office at night, does he?"
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 959"What was it?"
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113 993"Suppose he asks me about Nina Gipsy?"
uva.x001213303	FILE NUMBER 113"Answer,"persued M. Fauvel,"have I not always been like a father to you?
uva.x001213303	Fanferlot feared so; but how could he assure himself of the fact?
uva.x001213303	Fanferlot?"
uva.x001213303	Far from expecting any one to call out:"What are you doing there?"
uva.x001213303	Fauvel's?"
uva.x001213303	Fauvel's?"
uva.x001213303	Fauvel?
uva.x001213303	Fauvel?
uva.x001213303	Fauvel?"
uva.x001213303	Finally he humbly said:"You have then been occupying yourself with this case, my chief?"
uva.x001213303	For did not the letter before him assert this to be the fact, and tell him how to convince himself of its truth?
uva.x001213303	For what purpose?
uva.x001213303	Formerly, Madame Fauvel would have said:"I wonder what he does with all the money I give him?"
uva.x001213303	From me?"
uva.x001213303	From this pretty little poniard?
uva.x001213303	Gaston was as good as saved, when fate — but was it only fate? — interfered.
uva.x001213303	Had he any interest in robbing himself?"
uva.x001213303	Had he come to say that the game was up, and they must fly?
uva.x001213303	Had he succeeded in embarking?
uva.x001213303	Had my presence been remembered?
uva.x001213303	Had she been warned by her friend?
uva.x001213303	Had she not destroyed his hopes of happiness, and driven him to a life of dissipation, wherein perhaps he sought forgetfulness?
uva.x001213303	Had she not followed De Cla- meran's orders, and announced that Raoul was very rich?
uva.x001213303	Had they simply arranged with each other how to sustain a probable fable?
uva.x001213303	Has De Clameran, since he found out that his papers had been touched, seen De Lagors?"
uva.x001213303	Has a bundle been sent here for me?"
uva.x001213303	Has not Raoul, by his extravagant follies, dug an abyss which must be bridged over by money?
uva.x001213303	Have I been unhappy?
uva.x001213303	Have I even a hundred louis?"
uva.x001213303	Have I gained anything by adding this humiliation to the others which I have had to suffer?"
uva.x001213303	Have I not, so to say, stolen even my life?"
uva.x001213303	Have I the right to ruin myself?
uva.x001213303	Have not your aunt and cousins told you?"
uva.x001213303	Have we not pretended to have quarreled, and have you not abused me sufficiently to justify you in refusing my assistance?
uva.x001213303	Have we time to convince him that the anonymous letter was incorrect in some of its assertions?"
uva.x001213303	Have you any arms?
uva.x001213303	Have you any ready money?
uva.x001213303	Have you any relatives bearing your name?
uva.x001213303	Have you looked in your mirror during the last four months?"
uva.x001213303	Have you money with you?
uva.x001213303	Have you progressed one step since you started in this affair?
uva.x001213303	Have you the pistol in your pocket?
uva.x001213303	Having administered this rebuke, he turned to Nina, and said in softer tones:"Go on, my child; what have you discovered?"
uva.x001213303	Having been deceived from the very first, would he not believe that it had been so ever since?
uva.x001213303	He asked for a horse and brougham — how could she refuse him?
uva.x001213303	He care- fully descended the ladder, muttering to himself:"Pawn tickets 1 What infamous mystery lies at the bottom of all this?"
uva.x001213303	He is ready to gratify my every wish, you may say; what does that prove?
uva.x001213303	He loved me, and, had he dared hope for your consent —""He would have married you?
uva.x001213303	He now did 958 FILE NUMBER 113 this, and said:"Might not this admiration for the young lady have been the cause of M. Bertomy's estrangement?"
uva.x001213303	He only added:"Of what breed is M. Monistrol's dog?"
uva.x001213303	He scarcely noticed her salutation, but questioned her with a look, which asked,"Well?"
uva.x001213303	He started toward the house; but M. Verduret seized his arm, and said:"What are you going to do?"
uva.x001213303	He then recollected the Jandidier ball, and that he, full of pride, had said to his wife:"Why do n't you wear your diamonds?"
uva.x001213303	He was aroused from his gloomy reverie by hearing the red- whiskered man say in a bantering tone:"So that is one o£ your friends?"
uva.x001213303	His conduct surprised his friend, who remarked to him:"Why, what is the matter?
uva.x001213303	His heartbroken tone aroused M. Verduret's sympathy, and he said in a kind, soothing voice:"Then you suspect nothing?
uva.x001213303	His sons?
uva.x001213303	How can I ever repay the great service you have rendered me?"
uva.x001213303	How can my drama of the Mandarine Li- Fo have any reference to Madame Fauvel, whom I do n't know from Adam or Eve?
uva.x001213303	How can they be kept apart?
uva.x001213303	How could he furnish the securities she demanded?
uva.x001213303	How could he live here when he had noth- ing to live upon?
uva.x001213303	How could she find out?
uva.x001213303	How dared you, then, without blushing, ap- proach her presence after associating with the shameless creatures with whom you were so intimate?"
uva.x001213303	How did he discover it?"
uva.x001213303	How did this individual gain this wonderful power of controlling events to suit his own purposes?
uva.x001213303	How do you know people are not watching us this very minute?
uva.x001213303	How do you know that she will consent to see you?
uva.x001213303	How else am I to get an opportunity of studying my characters, if I am not on the spot to continually watch them?"
uva.x001213303	How far did you follow the empty cab?"
uva.x001213303	How is De Clameran's ascendency to be accounted for, if my first idea was the correct one?"
uva.x001213303	How many are there to keep in check all the evildoers in a capital which, with its suburbs, numbers more than three million inhabitants?
uva.x001213303	How much money would be necessary to pay off the mortgages upon La Verberie?
uva.x001213303	How so?
uva.x001213303	How, then, had they succeeded?
uva.x001213303	How?
uva.x001213303	I come forth from prison disgraced by my enemies; what is to become of me?
uva.x001213303	I have nothing left but my diamonds: do you want them?
uva.x001213303	I have you, Louis, and is not that enough?
uva.x001213303	I intrusted to you the honor of our name, and what have you done with it?
uva.x001213303	I opened, I entered, and what did I see?
uva.x001213303	I suppose she carried out the plan we decided upon?
uva.x001213303	I suppose you saw M. Bertomy's friend?"
uva.x001213303	I thought it might last as long as it would, and then I —""And then you would abstract money from the safe; was it not so?"
uva.x001213303	I thought you—"—"Yes, I know; you thought I had suspected the true state of affairs?
uva.x001213303	I will break down the door; what do I care for the noise and scandal, now that I have nothing to lose?
uva.x001213303	I will think the matter over; but, in the mean time, what does the girl say?"
uva.x001213303	If she could deceive him now when she was silver- haired, had she not deceived him when she was young?
uva.x001213303	If the lodgers should learn of it, what would they think of monsieur?
uva.x001213303	If you.were wearied by my constant devotion, had the thought of your children no power to restrain your evil passions?"
uva.x001213303	If, upon the receipt of your bomb- shell, M. Fauvel, unable to restrain himself, rushed into his wife's room, exclaiming:'Where are your diamonds?'
uva.x001213303	In a word, what price did he expect for this sacrifice of'time and labor?
uva.x001213303	In an offended tone she said:"What has emboldened you, sir, to be watching my movements?
uva.x001213303	In the first place, did Louis de Clameran poison his brother or not?"
uva.x001213303	In the mean time the orchestra was rendering a prelude; he advanced toward her( did he possibly guess her feeling?)
uva.x001213303	Is he not rich?"
uva.x001213303	Is it because I am your son?
uva.x001213303	Is it in my power to stop, by an effort of will, the circula- tion of my blood?
uva.x001213303	Is it not a miracle that M. Fauvel has not noticed this sad change in you?"
uva.x001213303	Is it not being useful to prove that there are no beings in the world as wretched as the madmen who have declared war on society?
uva.x001213303	Is it not being useful to strip crime of its sinister romance and expose it as it is: cowardly, ignoble, base, repulsive?
uva.x001213303	Is it not like this with every sincere passion?
uva.x001213303	Is it not to your husband that I owe the fortune which excites this villain's cupidity?
uva.x001213303	Is it so surprising?
uva.x001213303	Is it so very far from this point to the conception of a crime?
uva.x001213303	Is not that point your strongest argument in favor of his inno- cence?"
uva.x001213303	Is that possi- ble?
uva.x001213303	Is this the way you keep your word?"
uva.x001213303	It is a very odd- looking letter; is it not, sir?"
uva.x001213303	It is sheer folly?
uva.x001213303	Louis broke the ominous silence by abruptly saying:"Then you refuse to dis- appear if I pay you a hundred and fifty thousand francs?
uva.x001213303	Louis knew well enough to what he alluded, but pretended to be very much surprised, and said:"Written?
uva.x001213303	Louis misinterpreted his silence, and asked, gaily:"Did you have much difficulty?
uva.x001213303	M. Patrigent looked vexed, and said:"What would you say if I told you what had become of the three hundred and fifty thousand francs?"
uva.x001213303	M. Verduret shrugged his shoulders, and asked:"Did you not perceive any gaps in my narrative?"
uva.x001213303	M. Verduret turned to Raoul and, bowing with ironical re- spect, said:"You desire proofs, sir, do you?
uva.x001213303	M. de Clameran bowed ironically, and asked:"Shall I have to wait long?"
uva.x001213303	Madame Alexandre reflected a minute, then asked:"Did you inquire about the other members of the family?"
uva.x001213303	Madame Fauvel would say;"can they have decided not to persecute us any more?
uva.x001213303	Madeleine has ceased to love me, and of what importance is anything else?"
uva.x001213303	Meanwhile, the curiosity of Jean, the marquis's old valet, made him venture to open the door, and ask:"Did Monsieur the Marquis ring?
uva.x001213303	Might they not be the dream of an excited imagination?
uva.x001213303	Monistrol?"
uva.x001213303	Moreover, who would profit by this cowardly crime?
uva.x001213303	Must I in my old age go begging from door to door?
uva.x001213303	Must I now explain what these recollections are?
uva.x001213303	Must he, then, fall back upon the pistols, and there, in the midst of the country, hunted by gendarmes like a wild beast, blow his brains out?
uva.x001213303	Must we say it?
uva.x001213303	Nina, thus dismissed, did not move, but asked timidly:"What about Caldas, sir?"
uva.x001213303	No, I am nothing to Prosper; he would not care if —""But then, madame, why —""Ah, yes,"interrupted Nina,"why?
uva.x001213303	No; is it not so?
uva.x001213303	Now the ice is broken, is it not?
uva.x001213303	Now what was her position?
uva.x001213303	Now, are you satisfied, young man?"
uva.x001213303	Now, first of all, what is the name of this poor fellow who was murdered?"
uva.x001213303	Now, how am I to let Cavaillon know my address?
uva.x001213303	Now, the question is, what is the secret of this terrible influence he has gained over her?
uva.x001213303	Now, with what was it made?
uva.x001213303	On receiving the keys, he asked but one question:"Shall we not search for your brother's body, sir?"
uva.x001213303	Prosper started up with sparkling eyes, and exclaimed:"What, you know then — is it possible?"
uva.x001213303	Prosper, what are you saying?"
uva.x001213303	Publish the work without knowing its author?
uva.x001213303	Raget?"
uva.x001213303	Remy?"
uva.x001213303	Shall I call him down?"
uva.x001213303	Shall I hasten matters, or keep quiet and wait for the next move?
uva.x001213303	She is sacrificing herself — for whom?
uva.x001213303	She may be hard, cruel, pitiless toward me; but have I not deserved it?
uva.x001213303	She was aware that a decisive step would bind her forever, and then, what would not be exacted of her?
uva.x001213303	She would be called upon to explain her torn, muddy dress — and what answer could she give?
uva.x001213303	Should he tell the truth or not?
uva.x001213303	Should she conceal from Gas- tone the birth of his son?
uva.x001213303	Should they obey?
uva.x001213303	Slight as the noise was, it aroused M. Verduret, who sprang up and called out:"Who is there?"
uva.x001213303	Suddenly she rushed back to Fanferlot, and said:"Everything will be ready for me to start in a few minutes; but where am I to go?"
uva.x001213303	THE LITTLE OLD MAN OF BATIGNOLLES 1271"Did you surely see him and recognize him?"
uva.x001213303	Tell me, shall I ask our good priest to come and see you?"
uva.x001213303	Tell me, who dares send this money?"
uva.x001213303	That I am lost, dishonored?
uva.x001213303	That was also the judge's opinion, for he murmured:"How can we, after all this, doubt Monistrol's guilt?"
uva.x001213303	The examining judge asked both the husband and the wife this perfectly natural question:"Why did you hide the money?"
uva.x001213303	The marquis smiled scornfully, and asked:"Who told you that I intended to con- fide in her?
uva.x001213303	The merry- andrew looked very innocent, and asked:"A mis- fortune?"
uva.x001213303	The old doctor shook his head, and gazing searchingly into her eyes, retorted:"Can you say that you have not been harsh, even to cruelty?"
uva.x001213303	The question is, Have we still time to counteract his projects?
uva.x001213303	The stout man did not manifest any surprise at this burst of anger, but quietly answered:"A friend of your father's; did you not know it?"
uva.x001213303	Then he showed him the envelope of the letter, and asked:"Do you remember bringing this letter here this morning?"
uva.x001213303	Then recovering, I said, insisting:"But he confesses his guilt, madame?"
uva.x001213303	Then she approached Prosper, and said:"Why did you come here?
uva.x001213303	Then that being so, why hesitate?
uva.x001213303	Then when we were outside he said:"Are you losing your head?"
uva.x001213303	Then why during three years did you delude me with vain hopes?
uva.x001213303	Then » 1094 FILE NUMBER 113 what will become of us, my poor child?
uva.x001213303	Therefore, what was the use of struggling?
uva.x001213303	To let my old father die of a broken heart?
uva.x001213303	To the pain and toil of exile, to the bitter regrets of a ruined life, could you add the torture of separation?"
uva.x001213303	To whom?
uva.x001213303	To- day she had succeeded in subduing her heart and conscience; would she again have the strength to master her feelings?
uva.x001213303	Unable to restrain himself any longer, little Cavail- lon, Prosper's defender, ventured to say:"Well, who stole the money?"
uva.x001213303	Verduret?"
uva.x001213303	Victor?"
uva.x001213303	Victor?"
uva.x001213303	Was M. Lecoq really angry, or pretending to be so?
uva.x001213303	Was he himself Pierre Bernard, or Bernard somebody else?
uva.x001213303	Was he, or was he not, the plaything of a dream, a ridiculous night- mare?
uva.x001213303	Was it also to hasten matters that you took it into your head to marry Madeleine?
uva.x001213303	Was it not one of my own remarks that had raised the first doubts as to the guilt of this unfortunate man?
uva.x001213303	Was it not thus that she had wanted him?
uva.x001213303	Was it not wrong to act thus hurriedly?
uva.x001213303	Was it possible that he, the infallible expert, had been mistaken in his deductions?
uva.x001213303	Was she guilty?
uva.x001213303	Was she not the cause that he no longer frequented the home he had begun to look upon as his own?
uva.x001213303	Was that, then, a lie?"
uva.x001213303	Was the fabric of his honor, well- being, and domestic bliss to be dashed to the earth and forever lost in a day?
uva.x001213303	Was there no possible way of preventing a meeting between Valentine and Gaston?
uva.x001213303	Was this conscious innocence or hardened recklessness?
uva.x001213303	Was this gentle girl, whom he had treated as a daughter, an accom- plice in this deed of shame?
uva.x001213303	Was this the happy future to which he had looked forward?
uva.x001213303	We have not had any dinner yet; we are dying of hunger; have you anything to give us for supper?"
uva.x001213303	We were soon in the street, and while walking he asked me:"Well, what do you think of my wife?
uva.x001213303	Well, Joseph, my boy, do you still think that your noble master was duped by your pretended injured innocence?
uva.x001213303	Well, do you know this colleague of yours?"
uva.x001213303	Were Raoul and De Clameran at the ball?"
uva.x001213303	Were they his sons?
uva.x001213303	Were you not connected in some way with a scandalous affair which took place at the house of a woman named Crescenzi?"

uva.x001213303	What time was it?"
uva.x001213303	What was I about to discover?

uva.x001213303	What, then, are you going to do?
uva.x001213303	What, then, could this man want — this brother in whom Gaston had never cared to confide?
uva.x001213303	What?
uva.x001213303	When Raoul returned, he jumped to his feet, ghastly pale, and with difficulty gasped out:"Well?"
uva.x001213303	When a young man is thus degraded, will he stop at any sin or crime?
uva.x001213303	When and where did you post this letter?"
uva.x001213303	When even I did not know them myself?"
uva.x001213303	When that day comes, what is to be done?"
uva.x001213303	When?"
uva.x001213303	Whence the intimacy of these two men of such different ages?

uva.x001213303	Where is my father?
uva.x001213303	Where shall I report to you?"
uva.x001213303	Where was the money to come from?
uva.x001213303	Where?
uva.x001213303	Which is the stronger, you or Raoul?"
uva.x001213303	While he thus hesitated, Janouille seized him by the arm and pulled him in, saying:"Do you want to take root there?
uva.x001213303	Who and what convinces you of my guilt?
uva.x001213303	Who gave you a name and position when you had neither?
uva.x001213303	Who gave you permission to follow me — to enter this house?"
uva.x001213303	Who is that Madame Moni- strol?
uva.x001213303	Who knows if you will not be suspected as M. Bertomy's accomplice?"
uva.x001213303	Who knows that the police are not already warned, and may appear at any moment?"
uva.x001213303	Who knows — after this — what he will do next?
uva.x001213303	Who was he, that murderer?
uva.x001213303	Who was this stranger whose assistance he had accepted?
uva.x001213303	Who went to London, and rescued you from a state of privation and ignominy?
uva.x001213303	Who will help Prosper if his best friends desert him?
uva.x001213303	Who would be suspected if I could not prove that my assets exceed my liabilities by more than three millions?"
uva.x001213303	Who would dare touch his papers?'
uva.x001213303	Who would have been suspected this morning if I had not been able to instantly produce a hundred thousand crowns?
uva.x001213303	Why can not the same be said of all men?
uva.x001213303	Why could I not have robbed myself?
uva.x001213303	Why did I not see it at once?
uva.x001213303	Why did Madeleine suddetfly forbid me to think of her?
uva.x001213303	Why did he not use entreaties instead of threats?
uva.x001213303	Why did he take such a step?
uva.x001213303	Why did it not give him the courage to wait, the strength of mind to refrain from acting on his own responsibility?
uva.x001213303	Why did not that muddle- headed banker tell us where this De Clameran is to be found?"
uva.x001213303	Why did she hold her tongue?
uva.x001213303	Why do you persist in obstinately shutting your eyes to the proof I place before you?
uva.x001213303	Why had he confessed to being guilty?
uva.x001213303	Why had he not answered the many letters which Louis had written him from Oloron?
uva.x001213303	Why had he not contrived to send her a letter, a word to let her know that he was still alive?
uva.x001213303	Why had she been made to tell this unnecessary lie?
uva.x001213303	Why had she not had more courage and patience?
uva.x001213303	Why had she not that gentle, discreet friend who had helped her in her first misfortunes, old Dr. Raget?
uva.x001213303	Why has she exiled me, when she suffers as much from otir separation as I myself, when she still loves me?
uva.x001213303	Why run the risk of destroying her domestic happiness and plant- ing seeds of remorse in your own bosom?
uva.x001213303	Why should he steal?
uva.x001213303	Why should they?
uva.x001213303	Why so?
uva.x001213303	Why these tears, my darling?"
uva.x001213303	Why this alibi at Paris?
uva.x001213303	Why was he disguised as a la- borer?
uva.x001213303	Why?
uva.x001213303	Why?
uva.x001213303	Why?"
uva.x001213303	Will my brother renounce his plan of discovering the whereabouts of this woman whom he so loved?"
uva.x001213303	Will you go cringing up to the widower, and implore him to continue your allowance?
uva.x001213303	With the word one can even open it without the key; but without the word —""And you never told this word to any one?"
uva.x001213303	With which wine- merchant does he deal in this neighborhood?"
uva.x001213303	Would he be less happy?
uva.x001213303	Would he believe in her fidelity as a wife when he discovered her perfidy as a young girl?
uva.x001213303	Would he ever return?
uva.x001213303	Would it make her love her husband any the less?
uva.x001213303	Would not this letter interfere with all M. Verduret's plans?
uva.x001213303	Would she consent to furnish them with any more dresses on credit?
uva.x001213303	Would the messenger be able to answer any questions?
uva.x001213303	Would this be the first instance in which the most shameful secrets are concealed beneath the fairest appearances?
uva.x001213303	Would you let me fly alone, Valentine?
uva.x001213303	Would you, then, deprive me of the joy of seeing you?
uva.x001213303	Yon smile?
uva.x001213303	You are sure that the theft was not com- mitted by any one of your household?"
uva.x001213303	You ask who I am; in return I ask you who are you — you who under- FILE NUMBER 113 1045 take to act as Madame Fauvel's champion?
uva.x001213303	You did not expect me?
uva.x001213303	You did not fathom the meaning of what she said?"
uva.x001213303	You have a friend, M. de Lagors?"
uva.x001213303	You have an enemy?
uva.x001213303	You imagine her to be weak and yielding, easily frightened?
uva.x001213303	You know him then?"
uva.x001213303	You know that a couple of days before the robbery, you took De Lagors and two other friends to sup with Madame Gipsy?
uva.x001213303	You say she loves him?
uva.x001213303	You see this superb picture?
uva.x001213303	You want to know what I did?
uva.x001213303	You will help me, will you not, my men?
uva.x001213303	Your opinion is mine; but what decisive proof have we?
uva.x001213303	and what if we fail?"
uva.x001213303	and who is this young man?"
uva.x001213303	asked Madeleine;"what new sacrifice do they demand?
uva.x001213303	be- tween strangers who accuse me, and myself who swear that I am innocent, you do not hesitate?
uva.x001213303	become a soldier?
uva.x001213303	by whom?"
uva.x001213303	call?!
uva.x001213303	cried Gaston with disgust,"and it is to such a mother that you sacrifice me?"
uva.x001213303	cried M. Verduret,"what is the matter?"
uva.x001213303	cried Madame Fauvel with terror;"do you know?
uva.x001213303	cried Mihonne,"are you ig- norant, then, of his escape?
uva.x001213303	cried he,"do you mean to say that I took the money?"
uva.x001213303	cried the banker;"can an infamous plot like this be planned in the present day?"
uva.x001213303	cried the comtesse, red with fury;"is it thus you respect the noble traditions of our family?
uva.x001213303	did I not discover that you had a secret?"
uva.x001213303	did you not follow him?"
uva.x001213303	do you suppose —?
uva.x001213303	for are you not my brother?
uva.x001213303	he asked. —"Who can tell?
uva.x001213303	he asked:"What did you find out?
uva.x001213303	he cried;"this worthless Marquis de Clameran, an assassin and a thief, allowed to visit at M. Fauvel's and pay his addresses to Madeleine?
uva.x001213303	he cried;"you adore Madeleine, and take this'means of winning her good graces?
uva.x001213303	he exclaimed,"is that what betrayed me?"
uva.x001213303	he in- quired.—"Does not Jean, the Marquis de Clameran's old valet, live here?
uva.x001213303	he said;"what ails you, dearest?
uva.x001213303	interrupted Fanferlot,"this silly girl wrote, and I never saw the letter?"
uva.x001213303	interrupted Fanferlot,"you have a letter, and did not tell me before?
uva.x001213303	interrupted the commissary,"since the accused con- fessed, what is the use of bothering about a circumstance which will be explained at the trial?"
uva.x001213303	it is to Batignolles we are going?"
uva.x001213303	it was not Gaston, then, who had written to her — it was not Gaston who stood before her?
uva.x001213303	it was with the left hand that the old man had written?
uva.x001213303	madame,"I exclaimed,"do you believe Monistrol guilty?"
uva.x001213303	mademoiselle, do you not know what has happened?
uva.x001213303	murmured Pros- per in a dazed way;"is it possible?"
uva.x001213303	muttered the merry- andrew uneasily,"can I be on the wrong track?"
uva.x001213303	nothing?
uva.x001213303	or should they warn some relative of this mad young man, whose common sense would oppose itself to such insanity?"
uva.x001213303	said M. Fauvel excitedly,"is not justice the same for all?
uva.x001213303	said Madame Alexandre,"what do you think?"
uva.x001213303	said Raoul, approvingly, when his uncle had finished.—"Then you understand what is to be done?
uva.x001213303	said the man with the red whiskers;"did you not say just now that the sacrifice of your life is made?
uva.x001213303	said the marquis,"we are surrounded?
uva.x001213303	she asked in a hollow voice;"is it true?"
uva.x001213303	she asked,"upon what pretext can I receive Raoul?
uva.x001213303	she gasped,"can Prosper be a thief?"
uva.x001213303	that I wanted to purchase some madder."—"Madder?"
uva.x001213303	that they do not forgive you for earning twelve thousand francs a year?
uva.x001213303	they said;"where, how, by whom?"
uva.x001213303	thought the commissary;"how, after this, can his guilt be doubted?
uva.x001213303	was I not right in prevailing upon you to bury the past?
uva.x001213303	what blood have you in your veins?
uva.x001213303	what can those creatures do with all the money lavished on them?
uva.x001213303	what did I tell you?
uva.x001213303	what do you want with a lawyer?"
uva.x001213303	what does all this mean?
uva.x001213303	what else did we come here for?"
uva.x001213303	what has happened?"
uva.x001213303	what has he been doing?
uva.x001213303	what have you been doing, Gaston?"
uva.x001213303	what is it?
uva.x001213303	what is the matter?"—"Silence!"
uva.x001213303	what is the use?
uva.x001213303	who can have opened the safe?"
uva.x001213303	why am I not at liberty?
uva.x001213303	why did not this certainty inspire him with absolute faith?
uva.x001213303	why had she not a wise and kind adviser to point out the right course to pursue, and assist her in struggling against evil influences?
uva.x001213303	why is not my poor father alive to see you?
uva.x001213303	would M. Verduret venture to appear at a fancy dress ball given by the wealthiest and most fashionable bankers in Paris?
uva.x001213303	would you presume to appear before him after what has happened?
uva.x001213303	you allow yourself to be disconcerted like that?"
uva.x001213303	you who heard what she said to me yesterday, tell me: was I to have expected such infamous treason as this?
uva.x001213303	you will not believe in my devotion; what shall I do to convince you of its sincerity?
uva.x001213303	you?"
uva.x001213303	—"What do you call a good round sum?

uiug.30112041682011	- “ Every word of it, from first to last. ” “ Have Idealt openly with you so far?
uiug.30112041682011	- “ Have you got what you want? ” she asked as composedly as usual.
uiug.30112041682011	- “ Is it something dreadful? ” he whispered.
uiug.30112041682011	- “ My desk?"
uiug.30112041682011	- “ My young friend, ” he said, kindly, “ have you cleared your mind of all superstition as com- pletely as you think?
uiug.30112041682011	- “ The ship in which my father's murderous hand turned the lock of the cabin door. ” “ What of it?"
uiug.30112041682011	- “ What ship? ” asked the rector.
uiug.30112041682011	- “ Why distress yourself? ” he asked, kindly—“why go back to the past? ” “ For two reasons, Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	- “ Why distress yourself? ” he asked, kindly—“why go back to the past? ” “ For two reasons, Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	- “ Would it help me to shake off these im- pressions, I wonder, if I made the effort of| writing them down?
uiug.30112041682011	135 like an originally fair complexion, which has deteriorated into a dull, sickly paleness?
uiug.30112041682011	145 “ I see yoy do n’t approve of the thing, ” Al- lan went on “ Do you object to her being only a governess?
uiug.30112041682011	147 family circumstances before he engaged her — is n’t it? ” “ It is possible, Allan, certainly. ” “ Just my feeling again!
uiug.30112041682011	193 at me?
uiug.30112041682011	271 “ ‘ Now do you understand my motive in coming here?'
uiug.30112041682011	309 ‘ ‘ Who is the doctor who has the care of Miss Milroy? ” persisted Midwinter, still addressing Mr. Bashwood.
uiug.30112041682011	3? ” said the doctor.
uiug.30112041682011	4? ” she asked.
uiug.30112041682011	61 “ What shall we do till it's time to go? ” asked Allan, looking about him.
uiug.30112041682011	85 ’( q) mean, “ Send for the hair- cutter? ’ ” “ Pray be serious, ” remonstrated Neelie.
uiug.30112041682011	: Shall I escort you?
uiug.30112041682011	A dismal ex- istence for a lad of my age, was it not?
uiug.30112041682011	A key?
uiug.30112041682011	A small joke goes a long way among friends, does n't it, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	A young girl was in solitary| Your character?
uiug.30112041682011	About those people you have let the cottage to?
uiug.30112041682011	Am I feeling nervous about it?
uiug.30112041682011	Am I hand- some enough to- day?
uiug.30112041682011	Am I mad?
uiug.30112041682011	Am I out of my senses?
uiug.30112041682011	Am I really desperate enough and helpless enough to end it in that way?
uiug.30112041682011	An elderly gentleman came at last, a little farther than your poor old nose?
uiug.30112041682011	And ca n't I think, if I like, of something else?
uiug.30112041682011	And has that man roused it? ” The reflection of her face changed slowly.
uiug.30112041682011	And her friends transferred her to another school, at Brussels, this time.—What are you sighing about?
uiug.30112041682011	And how am I to do that unless we are within easy reach of each other, under the same roof?
uiug.30112041682011	And slipped out of your memory?
uiug.30112041682011	And was I to blame for feeling your kindness thankfully?
uiug.30112041682011	And what came of that, do you think?
uiug.30112041682011	And what did he mean afterward when he overtook old Bashwood in the drive, by telling him to grat- ify his curiosity?
uiug.30112041682011	And what had the gentleman done in return?
uiug.30112041682011	And what room is this?
uiug.30112041682011	And what's your name?
uiug.30112041682011	And yet how I like him for being absurd and inconsistent; for do n't I see plainly that I am at the bottom of it all?
uiug.30112041682011	And yet how could I help myself in a difficulty which turned on a matter of law?
uiug.30112041682011	And you know who Miss Gwilt is now, without my telling you? ” He paused, and looked at his father in sud- den perplexity.
uiug.30112041682011	Another lady — eh?
uiug.30112041682011	Another let- ter? ” “ Yes, Sir, ” said the man, holding it out.
uiug.30112041682011	Any company of the supernatural sort on board?
uiug.30112041682011	Any more? ” asked Neelie, tapping her chin impatiently with the end of the pencil.
uiug.30112041682011	Any suspicious noises below?
uiug.30112041682011	Any thing more about Mr. Armadale? ” “ Nothing more, except how papa answered him, ” replied Neelie.
uiug.30112041682011	Any thing of that sort? ” “ Nothing.
uiug.30112041682011	Any thing wrong with your inside?
uiug.30112041682011	Any thing “ What is her name? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Anything more? ” “ Nothing more.
uiug.30112041682011	Are her lips thin, and is the up- per lip long?
uiug.30112041682011	Are my brains not quite so addled as you thought them when you wrote?
uiug.30112041682011	Are my energies wearing out, I wonder, just at the time when I most wan; them?
uiug.30112041682011	Are their letters explicit?
uiug.30112041682011	Are there any other people in our way at Thorpe- Ambrose?
uiug.30112041682011	Are these nuisances laughing matters to nervous people?
uiug.30112041682011	Are these things true?
uiug.30112041682011	Are you out of sorts?
uiug.30112041682011	Are you purposely bent on insulting me?
uiug.30112041682011	Are you quite sure he will turn out as easy to man- age as you think?
uiug.30112041682011	Are you really seeing Thorpe- Am- brose this morning for the first time?
uiug.30112041682011	Are you sure?
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale made no objec- tion to this; he only asked, in his helpless way, who the person was to be?
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale said that? ” she went on, lean- ing out farther and farther over the side of the bed.
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale still? ” He spoke those bold words at long intervals, with an effort to resist her influence over him pitiable and terrible to see.
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale, wo n't she? ” “ He'd better have stuck to Miss Milroy, had n't he? ” “ Miss Milroy stuck to him.
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale, wo n't she? ” “ He'd better have stuck to Miss Milroy, had n't he? ” “ Miss Milroy stuck to him.
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale?"
uiug.30112041682011	Armadale?)
uiug.30112041682011	As I said to papa, it almost “ You have got a letter, have n't you? ” per- reconciles me to her horrid, unromantic name. ” sisted Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Ask me instead, if it is the modest ambition of my life to become Miss Milroy's governess?
uiug.30112041682011	Ask them Can they escape these nuisances at home?
uiug.30112041682011	At his age and in his position who could have Are men as curious as women?
uiug.30112041682011	At nightfall who liked his master the worse for beating him?
uiug.30112041682011	At the same time Allan turned round from the window, and I, in my turn, handed the tumbler to him.–Is there any mistake so far?'
uiug.30112041682011	At what hour?
uiug.30112041682011	Beer? ” Mr. Bashwood, in his low, lost tones, echoed the last word.
uiug.30112041682011	Before I had been five minutes in the cottage, on the day of my ar- rival, what do you think she did?
uiug.30112041682011	Before I left Miss Milroy I told her, in the plainest terms, no such idea had ever entered your head. ” “ Did she seem relieved? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Besides, what is the use of ask- ing?
uiug.30112041682011	Billiard- room and smoking- room, eh?
uiug.30112041682011	Brock?'
uiug.30112041682011	But are you really so very simple as to suppose that I do n't see straight through you and your letter?
uiug.30112041682011	But had all disclos- ures rested there?
uiug.30112041682011	But oh, after what I have done already in the past time, how can I?
uiug.30112041682011	But what about the rain that fell in the dream?
uiug.30112041682011	But what after that?
uiug.30112041682011	But what did he mean by saying he had been warned?
uiug.30112041682011	But what have I to do with all this?
uiug.30112041682011	But who ever overwhelmed a solicitor?
uiug.30112041682011	Can I help you?'
uiug.30112041682011	Can I say I believe in it too?
uiug.30112041682011	Can I take up my story again, I wonder, at the time when Ar- madale had left us?
uiug.30112041682011	Can I tell what took place between Midwinter and me in our own room?
uiug.30112041682011	Can it be really possible that Love has made Mr. Bashwood man enough to be angry with me?
uiug.30112041682011	Can words express the astonishment I feel at my own patience?
uiug.30112041682011	Can you believe in my perversity?
uiug.30112041682011	Can you identify them? ” “ No.
uiug.30112041682011	Can you make me hold a pen?"
uiug.30112041682011	Can you sit by yourself, if I put you against the bulwark, so? ” “ Why by myself?
uiug.30112041682011	Can you sit by yourself, if I put you against the bulwark, so? ” “ Why by myself?
uiug.30112041682011	Can you suggest something, dear Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	Can you take me into the society at Thorpe- Am- brose?
uiug.30112041682011	Character?
uiug.30112041682011	Clear enough, so far, is n't it? ” “ Clear enough, Jemmy, to clever people.
uiug.30112041682011	Cool, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	Could he solemnly declare that he would never regret taking Neelie away from home?
uiug.30112041682011	Could the reasons be given before he had fairly realized them himself; at that time, too, and under those circumstances?
uiug.30112041682011	Cruel, is n't it?
uiug.30112041682011	Dead men?
uiug.30112041682011	Did Midwinter positively medi- tate forcing him into a “ chimney- pot hat, ” a nicely- brushed frock- coat, and a clean pair of gloves?
uiug.30112041682011	Did all my misery at that time come from some- thing which was not Love?
uiug.30112041682011	Did he also ask leave to look on and learn how the lemon- ade was made?
uiug.30112041682011	Did he feel the horror of his hereditary superstition creeping over him again?
uiug.30112041682011	Did he want to make her feel how inexcusably she had forgotten what was due to herself?
uiug.30112041682011	Did her position impose on her the dreadful necessity of perpetual secrecy and perpetual deceit in relation to her past life?
uiug.30112041682011	Did it relate to money?
uiug.30112041682011	Did they try her again?
uiug.30112041682011	Did you ever hear the like of it?
uiug.30112041682011	Did you ever know the water boil, Mr. Bashwood, when you wanted it?
uiug.30112041682011	Did you ever see a sulk- ier fire than that?
uiug.30112041682011	Did you ever see the boa constrictor fed at the Zoological Gardens?
uiug.30112041682011	Did you stop at Thorpe- Ambrose on your way back?
uiug.30112041682011	Direc- tions?
uiug.30112041682011	Do I pity her?
uiug.30112041682011	Do n't I know how easily trifles upset those ex- citable nerves of yours?
uiug.30112041682011	Do n't look at me — look at Blackstone, and begin. ” “ Would you mind giving me a kiss first? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Do n't you remember the Bedouin brothers, Mr. Brock?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you be- lieve the dead can come back to the world they once lived in?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you decline too?"
uiug.30112041682011	Do you ever like to see the sum- mer insects kill themselves in the candle?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you happen to know of a school within the means of a poor man?'
uiug.30112041682011	Do you hear?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you know who I am, Susan?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you make a long stay in England, now you have come back? ” “ I hardly know, ” said Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	Do you mean to tell me in plain words that it wo n't do to speak to the major? ” “ I ca n't take the responsibility, Allan, of telling you that.
uiug.30112041682011	Do you say that? ” “ I say that. ” “ And so again, I presume, with the next vi- sion?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you say that? ” “ I say that. ” “ And so again, I presume, with the next vi- sion?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you see it now?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you think I ca n't get at you if I like?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you think I felt lonely?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you think any of them took it in the same friendly spirit?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you think he would listen to me?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you think he's going to marry her?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you think my master let me have it for nothing?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you wonder who the friend is?
uiug.30112041682011	Do you, too, think I can learn?
uiug.30112041682011	Doctor has heard from one or both of these il- lustrious strangers? ” “ From one only, Madam Mayoress; but not.
uiug.30112041682011	Does a woman not love when the man's hardness to her drives her to drown herself?
uiug.30112041682011	Does he think I want to pry into his secrets? ” Mr. Bashwood's secret on this occasion con- cerned Allan more nearly than Allan supposed.
uiug.30112041682011	Does he wish to see me?'
uiug.30112041682011	Does it distress you to hear me talk of myself in this way?
uiug.30112041682011	Does making a fight for it mean- running away? ” “ ‘ Running away? ’ repeated the doctor.
uiug.30112041682011	Does making a fight for it mean- running away? ” “ ‘ Running away? ’ repeated the doctor.
uiug.30112041682011	Does this hateful Pedgift actually suppose there is any chance —?
uiug.30112041682011	Dreadfully unpoet- soon as I can. ” ical, is n't it?
uiug.30112041682011	Ev- ery word, mind — every word! ” “ I can only tell you, mamma, what papa told me. ” “ When? ” “ Saturday.
uiug.30112041682011	Every thing was rotten and every thing was wrong under it. ” “ In what way, Jemmy?
uiug.30112041682011	Excuse my asking — but you can very materially help Miss Neelie if you choose. ” “ How? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Falsely revealed or truly revealed?
uiug.30112041682011	Fine summer weather, Sir, for walk- ing?
uiug.30112041682011	For- give you?
uiug.30112041682011	Go on, and I shall see?
uiug.30112041682011	Had Allan seen her?
uiug.30112041682011	Had Mid- winter said nothing about his relations in the flow of all this friendly talk?
uiug.30112041682011	Had a gentleman been to see her on the previous day?
uiug.30112041682011	Had he any family reasons to be anxious about it?
uiug.30112041682011	Had he hon- estly mentioned any one of the objections which he or any man must have seen to Allan's attach- ment?
uiug.30112041682011	Had she stolen her way back to decent society and a rep- utable employment by means of a false charac- ter?
uiug.30112041682011	Had some accident happened on the way?
uiug.30112041682011	Had the major's daughter guessed right?
uiug.30112041682011	Had the man let no chance light in on his character in the rector's pres- ence?
uiug.30112041682011	Had the treachery of Sleep opened the gates of the grave to that one of the two Armadales whom the other had kept in ignorance of the truth?
uiug.30112041682011	Has Miss Gwilt any thing to do with it? ” Neelie looked round again at her mother in sudden curiosity and alarm.
uiug.30112041682011	Has Miss Milroy been out of the garden?
uiug.30112041682011	Has she broken any thing? ” “ Go to the window — I want to speak to Ra- chel, ” said Mrs. Milroy.
uiug.30112041682011	Has that restive memory of yours run away with you again? ” “ Yes, ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Have I frightened myself in trying to frighten you?
uiug.30112041682011	Have I kept my word? ” “ It is impossible to doubt it, ” replied Mr. Brock.
uiug.30112041682011	Have I lived to be five- and- thirty, and am I only feeling now what Love really is?—now, when it is too late?
uiug.30112041682011	Have I nerve enough to play it, I wonder?
uiug.30112041682011	Have I nerve enough to write the history of this terri- ble evening, just as it has passed?
uiug.30112041682011	Have n't I a will of my own?
uiug.30112041682011	Have you any idea at present of who those liv- ing originals may be? ” “ I have.
uiug.30112041682011	Have you any thing more left to say? ” “ Nothing more. ” “ Leave me then.
uiug.30112041682011	Have you been in the coffee- room at the hotel?
uiug.30112041682011	Have you been in the grounds to- day? ” she went on, dropping her voice again to a whisper.
uiug.30112041682011	Have you been taking a practical view?
uiug.30112041682011	Have you ever seen two strange cats, my dear, nose to nose on the tiles?
uiug.30112041682011	Have you got an old friend whom you can trust? ” She had n't such a thing as an old friend in the world.
uiug.30112041682011	Have you locked it?
uiug.30112041682011	Have you met Pedgift?
uiug.30112041682011	Have you thought seriously already of asking her to be your wife? ” “ I am thinking seriously of it at this mo- ment, ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	He has lost “ Miss Gwilt( otherwise my house- maid), has n't he?
uiug.30112041682011	He man, treated as I was, have done in my place?
uiug.30112041682011	He told me I was close to the place, and could n't miss it. ” “ What made you stop here when he left you? ” reiterated Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	He was quite right — what else could I do?
uiug.30112041682011	Helpless herself, to whom could Mrs. Milroy commit the difficult and dangerous task of in- vestigation?
uiug.30112041682011	How about the sunset?
uiug.30112041682011	How am I to get through the weary, weary hours be- tween this and the evening?
uiug.30112041682011	How am I to manage him?
uiug.30112041682011	How can I thank you? ” Allan saw his way to another compliment — an elaborate compliment, in the shape of a trap, this time.
uiug.30112041682011	How can he be the instrument of any enemy of yours? ” asked Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	How could I know that he had a nervous horror of the smell and taste of brandy?
uiug.30112041682011	How did he look? ” “ Much as usual, mamma.
uiug.30112041682011	How did that pool get into your head?
uiug.30112041682011	How do we know that this illness of his may not have been put on for a purpose? ” It was useless to reason with her.
uiug.30112041682011	How does he come to be in the confidence of the Somersetshire clergyman?
uiug.30112041682011	How does this very important letter come into your possession?
uiug.30112041682011	How had she left?
uiug.30112041682011	How is it that he alters me so that I hardly know myself again?
uiug.30112041682011	How long did she stop, please, at the school in France? ” Bashwood the younger referred to the pa- pers.
uiug.30112041682011	How long will you wait? ” Midwinter carefully restored the paper to its place in his pocket- book.
uiug.30112041682011	How much has that clergyman told him?
uiug.30112041682011	How, if this calm should not last?
uiug.30112041682011	I agree with you. ” “ Do you think seven or eight- and- twenty is too old for me?
uiug.30112041682011	I am afraid you think this rather weak on my part? ” The doctor looked appealingly at Mr. Neal.
uiug.30112041682011	I am going blind- fold then — so far as Midwinter is concerned – into this frightful risk?
uiug.30112041682011	I believe in mes- merism — do you? ” She suddenly recollected herself and shuddered.
uiug.30112041682011	I ca n't ac- count for it — can you?
uiug.30112041682011	I ca n't tell you. ” “ You can tell me what you did see? ” “ Certainly.
uiug.30112041682011	I can trust in your discre- ly done? ” “ Yes, ” said Allan, speaking for the first time 192 ARMADALE.
uiug.30112041682011	I do n't call to mind, Mr. Bashwood, whether you ever had any sons and daughters?
uiug.30112041682011	I ex- claimed, “ is there only one subject worth men- tioning, in the narrow little world you live in?
uiug.30112041682011	I had no objections to make. ” “ Do n’t you congratulate me? ” asked Allan, a little uneasily.
uiug.30112041682011	I hate him for forcing me to that degree?
uiug.30112041682011	I have engaged to tell him what those circumstances are( what shall I say, I wonder?)
uiug.30112041682011	I have just left you time to slip in and take my place in Armadale's good graces, have I?
uiug.30112041682011	I have":? ” doi thi H itting b staid here too long already.
uiug.30112041682011	I let them go on condoling with me, and then what do you think I did?
uiug.30112041682011	I like the poor dear harmless old, gentleman; so I wo n't say a word more another?
uiug.30112041682011	I rather doubt whether I am yours, or any body's, affectionate- ly; but we all tell lies at the bottoms of our let- ters, do n't we?
uiug.30112041682011	I said Mr. Armadale — how could I say any thing else?
uiug.30112041682011	I saw his face turn white in an instant.—Did you?
uiug.30112041682011	I say it again and performing an act of Christianity?"
uiug.30112041682011	I say — by- the- by, what's your name?
uiug.30112041682011	I say, have I got a garden here?
uiug.30112041682011	I say, how well we get on; do n't we?
uiug.30112041682011	I shall be the widow of Mr. Armadale of Thorpe- Ambrose be- fore long — and what will his likes or dislikes matter to me then?
uiug.30112041682011	I shall break them one of these nights; and then what will become of my beauty, I wonder? ” 4.—From Mrs. Oldershaw to Miss Gwilt.
uiug.30112041682011	I wanted to come up here and speak to you. ” “ Vexed?
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder if I can remember one of Moore's Melodies?
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder if I could accompany you on the pia- no?
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder what he means by meretricious?]
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder where my knack of writing comes from? ” He went on, and finished the letter in two more sentences.
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder wheth- er his trumpery little yacht will drown him?
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder wheth- er the agent's account of Major Milroy's family is to be depended on?
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder whether I should have loved my chil- dren if I had ever had any?
uiug.30112041682011	I wonder, by- the- by, what Lady Macbeth would have done in my position?
uiug.30112041682011	I'll go out and see if it's likely to clear up. ” “ You'll come back? ” interposed Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	I'm not in love with Miss Milroy. ” “ Who is it, then? ”* Who is it?
uiug.30112041682011	I'm not in love with Miss Milroy. ” “ Who is it, then? ”* Who is it?
uiug.30112041682011	I'm sure you admire her?
uiug.30112041682011	I've been im- tion, ca n't I?
uiug.30112041682011	If I did go to London and marry him( as of course I must marry him).under his real name, would he let me be known by it afterward?
uiug.30112041682011	If not, by Wednesday at latest. ” “ You'll write to me every day? ” pleaded Neelie, clinging a little closer to him.
uiug.30112041682011	If the major's advertisement appears, which will the major say — Thorpe- Ambrose, or London?
uiug.30112041682011	If you will take my advice you will not stir another step in this inquiry. ” “ What do you mean? ” interposed Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	If you're not sick at sea — oh, you are sick at sea?
uiug.30112041682011	In breathe the same air again with young Arma- great difficulties you generally decide at once, dale?
uiug.30112041682011	In the mean time I should be glad to know under what circumstances you went to London to make these unfortunate inquiries about Miss Gwilt?
uiug.30112041682011	In the second place, if you admit the truth of Mrs. Milroy's statement, I request to know how you became acquainted with those particulars?
uiug.30112041682011	In these days, when we have all got watches or clocks, why are bells wanted to remind us when the service begins?
uiug.30112041682011	In this difficulty I said, what any one else in my situation would have said, ‘ Why ask me?
uiug.30112041682011	Is Miss Gwilt likely to succeed? ” she asked aloud.
uiug.30112041682011	Is Mother Oldershaw at- tacking me in the dark?
uiug.30112041682011	Is he a young man? ” “ ‘ He is an old man. ” “ The doctor laid himself back in his chair and chuckled softly.
uiug.30112041682011	Is her forehead high, narrow, and sloping backward from the brow?
uiug.30112041682011	Is her hair light brown, and( apparently) not very plentiful?
uiug.30112041682011	Is her nose aquiline?
uiug.30112041682011	Is it Allan Armadale I am speak- ing to?
uiug.30112041682011	Is it Love?
uiug.30112041682011	Is it possible you do n't know how she cheated the gallows?
uiug.30112041682011	Is it really true that you are in some way concerned in Miss Gwilt's leaving Major Milroy's service? ” There was another pause.
uiug.30112041682011	Is it?
uiug.30112041682011	Is my head failing me?
uiug.30112041682011	Is n't it improper to take your arm until I know you a little better than I do now?
uiug.30112041682011	Is that explanation enough?
uiug.30112041682011	Is that the way you decide between us? ” “ Yes, it is! ” cried the other, infuriated by Allan's scCond allusion to Miss Gwilt.
uiug.30112041682011	Is the draught ready?
uiug.30112041682011	Is the dread that now shakes me to the soul a phantom raised by the superstition of a dying man?
uiug.30112041682011	Is the some- left her?
uiug.30112041682011	Is there an excuse for Mrs. Milroy?
uiug.30112041682011	Is there any thing else be- fore we go on?
uiug.30112041682011	Is there something behind the curtain that you're afraid to bring out?
uiug.30112041682011	It really looks as if fate had determined that you were to be Mrs. Armadale, of Thorpe- Ambrose — and who can control his fate, as the poet says?
uiug.30112041682011	It was when as her husband has written it? ” we were in Switzerland, and when his illness “ Mrs.
uiug.30112041682011	It's a poor heart, Mrs. Gripper, that never rejoices, is n't it?
uiug.30112041682011	It's so long since we have had the pleasure — since I have had the pleasure — Have you enjoyed yourself, Sir, in foreign parts?
uiug.30112041682011	Laziness, possibly?
uiug.30112041682011	Let's risk it. ” “ Risk it? ” repeated Neelie, indignantly.
uiug.30112041682011	Lone- ly, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	Mark how your Christian name came to you, how your surname held to you, in spite of me?
uiug.30112041682011	May I ask what she ‘ Is this all you know?
uiug.30112041682011	May I ask, in that case,: you mean to make him walk into the trap hat you have set for him here?'
uiug.30112041682011	May I call to- morrow morning and hear what you have settled with Mr. Bashwood? ” “ I said yes, and got away from him at last.
uiug.30112041682011	May I inquire whether you have arrived at this conclusion as an habitual believer in dreams?
uiug.30112041682011	May I venture to suggest putting something into the reverend gentleman's mouth, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	Men?
uiug.30112041682011	Midwinter, in your estimation? ” “ God forbid! ” said Midwinter, fervently.
uiug.30112041682011	Might I take the liberty of asking —? ” Midwinter's eyes dropped uneasily to the ground.
uiug.30112041682011	Mind?
uiug.30112041682011	Miss Neelie, like the sensible girl she is, gets up to leave the room; and what does her ridiculous father do?
uiug.30112041682011	Morning- room, eh?
uiug.30112041682011	Must we fall back on a picture, or a book, or a conversation with your friend? ” Allan looked at Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	My kind friend, I see I surprise you; will you bear with me if I leave these strange circumstances unexplained?
uiug.30112041682011	My poor mother used to be proud of teaching me Moore's Melodies when I was a boy. ” “ Whose melodies? ” asked Mrs. Pentecost.
uiug.30112041682011	My rights?
uiug.30112041682011	Natural penalties all of them, Sir, which my new father?
uiug.30112041682011	Need I tell you the madale appears to have favored you with an end of my hopes?
uiug.30112041682011	Nine out of ten of the sex do n't know which end of them is uppermost half their time. ” “ Did she go into the convent? ” asked Mr. Bashwood.
uiug.30112041682011	No?
uiug.30112041682011	No?
uiug.30112041682011	No?
uiug.30112041682011	No?
uiug.30112041682011	Not to mine. ” “ Not to yours?
uiug.30112041682011	Now do you know why I wo n't help Allan?
uiug.30112041682011	Now they are all gone wo n't you show the inside of it to me? ” The doctor laughed in his pleasantest manner.
uiug.30112041682011	On what was his mind occupied as he stood alone at the dead of night in the strange house?
uiug.30112041682011	Or am I a little too fond of him to look the thing in the face?
uiug.30112041682011	Or is some foreshadowing of disaster creeping over me which I do n't yet understand?
uiug.30112041682011	Or per- haps you would prefer alarming Miss Neelie by telling her in plain words that we both think her in danger?
uiug.30112041682011	Or will it set me shuddering with the mystery and terror of#, as it did the other day?
uiug.30112041682011	Or, suppose you send me to Miss Gwilt, with instructions to inform her that she has done her pupil a cruel injustice?
uiug.30112041682011	P. How have you become acquainted with this sad news? ” he inquired, turning suddenly on Mr. Bashwood.
uiug.30112041682011	Pedgift?"
uiug.30112041682011	Per- haps it may be more convenient in the course of the day?
uiug.30112041682011	Perhaps I am over- excited by the suspense and anxiety of my present posi- tion?
uiug.30112041682011	Perhaps the merest fancies and sus- picions are leading me astray?
uiug.30112041682011	Perhaps you might wish to know —? ” He stopped con- fusedly, looked at the testimonial, and said no more.
uiug.30112041682011	Perhaps you would like — I have got it with me — to see my testimonial?
uiug.30112041682011	Quite a moral retribution, is n't it?
uiug.30112041682011	Richard, is it?
uiug.30112041682011	Say he does advertise, what address will he give for applicants to write to?
uiug.30112041682011	Say, if you please, let her write for him? ” Sir, have I kept the thread at last?
uiug.30112041682011	Say, if you please, let her write for him? ” Sir, have I kept the thread at last?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I ask myself if the obstacle of Midwinter would after all, when the time came, be the unmanageable obstacle that it looks at present?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I go down stairs, mam- ma, and come back later in the day? ” “ Go on, ” repeated Mrs. Milroy, mechanical- ly.
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I live to tell it?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I remem- ber my own youth and spare her?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I send my servant?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I show you, as I threatened, the thoughts that have grown out of my interview with him, and out of all that has happened to me since that time?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I tell you his real name?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I tell you how he took my hand, and what his voice sounded like when he spoke?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall I turn to the glass and see if I look my five- and- thirty years?
uiug.30112041682011	Shall we wait a little?
uiug.30112041682011	She looks like a full- blown rose when she blushes, does n't she?
uiug.30112041682011	She paid him a visit at the great house, did n't she? ” “ No- thing of the sort; it's a shame to take the girl's character away.
uiug.30112041682011	She “ Armadale hates| Was it quite as dark against the white pillow as her husband's head looked when he was in bed?
uiug.30112041682011	She's tall and pale and graceful — quite your idea of beauty, I should think? ” “ Nothing like it, ” began Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Should I be guess- ing right if I guessed that those questions have been in some way the means of leading you into a false position?
uiug.30112041682011	Should he risk an- other question before he pledged himself irrev- ocably?
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose I put on my bonnet, and try, my experiment at once at the great house?
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose I take it in your own roundabout way?
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose I tie a knot in my pocket- handkerchief this time?
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose some misfortune should have hap- pened? ” he resumed, speaking to himself, and turning again toward the steward.
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose the major's family circle wo n't supply another?
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose we leave the Dispensary, before it suggests any more inquiries to that active mind of yours?
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose you had said yes? ” “ Well? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Suppose you had said yes? ” “ Well? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Surely there must be some mis- have failed; without prospects, friends, or hopes| take, ladies?
uiug.30112041682011	Take me or leave me, just as you like. ” “ Take you or leave you? ” repeated the doc- tor, recovering his presence of mind.
uiug.30112041682011	Tea or coffee, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	That does n't look like neg- lect, does it?
uiug.30112041682011	That reply confirmed the lawyer's evidence before them as this?
uiug.30112041682011	That side, eh?
uiug.30112041682011	That's the Indian dodge for picking up a lost man on the prairie, Miss Milroy — and it's pretty nearly wild enough( is n't it?)
uiug.30112041682011	The father's mercy gry?
uiug.30112041682011	The gay young gentlemen in the bloom of their own youth?
uiug.30112041682011	The mayor?
uiug.30112041682011	The murder in the timber ship?
uiug.30112041682011	The next mo-'Was the breathing as light as her husband's breathing when he was asleep?
uiug.30112041682011	The poor The effect of my horrid red hair, perhaps?
uiug.30112041682011	The position drown as the water rose over him?
uiug.30112041682011	The rector's turn came next before the letter?
uiug.30112041682011	The second footman, eh?
uiug.30112041682011	The two looked you forced on me blindfold?"
uiug.30112041682011	There is really no mistake?
uiug.30112041682011	Think again, Lydia, and tell me whether the parson of the place where Mrs. Armadale lived was not likely to be Mrs. Arma- dale's friend?
uiug.30112041682011	Thirdly, and lastly, I beg to ask you what the particulars are?
uiug.30112041682011	This, as I felt at the time, was leaving my own curiosity free to torment me for four- and- twenty mortal hours — but what other choice had I?
uiug.30112041682011	Time?
uiug.30112041682011	To what did you attribute his behavior on that occasion?
uiug.30112041682011	Under what motives had he spoken the words?
uiug.30112041682011	Upon my soul, I worship the very ground she treads on. ” “ How long —? ” His voice faltered, and he stopped.
uiug.30112041682011	Was Eve fonder of Adam than ever, I wonder, after she had coaxed him into eating the apple?
uiug.30112041682011	Was he at all sensitive on the subject of his own odd name?
uiug.30112041682011	Was he in his room now?
uiug.30112041682011	Was he meditating flight?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it Mr. Bashwood's handker- chief, left there by accident?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it a dread for herself, or a dread for her son?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it long since Mrs. Arma- dale and her visitor had last met?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it our fault that we never doubted each other, and never knew that we were traveling together blindfold on the way that was to lead us here?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it past noon already?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it possible that he and Bashwood knew one another?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it the Home- Secretary?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it worthy of a gentleman to propose what he knew as well as she did was impossible?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it wrong?
uiug.30112041682011	Was it your own notion to pay that visit to Mrs. Mandeville?
uiug.30112041682011	Was she some such pitiable victim to the treachery of a man unknown as Allan had supposed?
uiug.30112041682011	Was the help she wanted coming from the very last of all quarters in which she could have thought of looking for it?"
uiug.30112041682011	Was the man who had been tricked out of his wife to blame for shutting the cabin- door and leaving the man who had tricked him to drown in the wreck?
uiug.30112041682011	Was the right man to restrain Allan the man who would have given the world, if he had it, to stand in Allan's place?
uiug.30112041682011	Was the squire's loud- talking, loud- laughing companion the shy, sensitive Midwinter of oth- er times?
uiug.30112041682011	Was the struggle of the past night renewing itself already?
uiug.30112041682011	Was there any other compe- tent and reliable person to employ, either at Thorpe- Ambrose or in London?
uiug.30112041682011	Was there ever anything so ridiculous?
uiug.30112041682011	Was there ever such ill- luck as ours?
uiug.30112041682011	Was there ever such perversity?
uiug.30112041682011	Was there no other way than the way he was trying now?
uiug.30112041682011	Was this another link in the fast lengthening chain of events?
uiug.30112041682011	Well, and what of all this?
uiug.30112041682011	Well, then, will you tell me what it was I wanted to say?
uiug.30112041682011	Were these the servants'offi- ces?
uiug.30112041682011	Were you down in the cabin of the wreck, may I ask? ” “ I could n't be down there, ” replied Allan, “ as the cabin was full of water.
uiug.30112041682011	What age do you guess her at, Midwinter?
uiug.30112041682011	What am I to do next?
uiug.30112041682011	What am I to do?
uiug.30112041682011	What are we to do?
uiug.30112041682011	What are you frightened about?
uiug.30112041682011	What are you shaking and shivering about?
uiug.30112041682011	What are you shaking your head about?
uiug.30112041682011	What are you waiting for here? ” Midwinter rose without answering.
uiug.30112041682011	What can I offer you? ” “ Offer me the strongest sleeping- draught you ever made in your life, ” she replied.
uiug.30112041682011	What can I say to excuse myself?
uiug.30112041682011	What can she possibly want with me? ” By way of discovering what she wanted, Allan did at last what he might more wisely have done at first.
uiug.30112041682011	What can this man have roused in me?
uiug.30112041682011	What can you possibly mean by saying it's cool?
uiug.30112041682011	What could I do?
uiug.30112041682011	What did it mean?
uiug.30112041682011	What did you say have seen the dear old fellow fairly started on about this room and the second vision of the dream?
uiug.30112041682011	What difficulty can there be? ” Allan hesitated.
uiug.30112041682011	What do I know about it?
uiug.30112041682011	What do I mean to do for the two months?
uiug.30112041682011	What do you mean by that? ” Again there was no answer.
uiug.30112041682011	What do you say to dining early, and going to the play, and trying the Great Exhibi- tion in Hyde Park to- morrow morning after breakfast?
uiug.30112041682011	What do you say to ringing the din- ner- bell, Sir? ” Never was the right man more entirely in the right place than Pedgift Junior at the picnic.
uiug.30112041682011	What do you say to young Pedgift?
uiug.30112041682011	What do you say? ” “ Nothing.
uiug.30112041682011	What do you think of it? ” The boat added one more to the strangely anomalous objects which appeared at the Broads.
uiug.30112041682011	What do you think of that argument?
uiug.30112041682011	What do you think of that, my dear lady, in the way of mystery and romance?
uiug.30112041682011	What do you think of that?
uiug.30112041682011	What does any woman ever know?
uiug.30112041682011	What does the studious bachelor offer me in exchange for the loss of all this?
uiug.30112041682011	What earthly need had he of the good opinion of the resident gentry?
uiug.30112041682011	What follows?
uiug.30112041682011	What had Allan seen in him to take such a fancy to?
uiug.30112041682011	What had I known of other men's voices when I was growing up to be a man myself?
uiug.30112041682011	What had I known of stran- gers'hands all through my childhood?
uiug.30112041682011	What had brought Midwinter to the terminus?
uiug.30112041682011	What had he got up to do secretly at that hour of the morning?
uiug.30112041682011	What had she done with her luggage?
uiug.30112041682011	What had the Fatality which had imprisoned him in the Wreck decreed that he should see?
uiug.30112041682011	What has a gentleman in your posi- tion in common with a man in mine?
uiug.30112041682011	What has happened?
uiug.30112041682011	What haunts me, to begin with?
uiug.30112041682011	What have I got now?
uiug.30112041682011	What have I to do with it, and what has she?'
uiug.30112041682011	What have I to do with it, and what has she?'
uiug.30112041682011	What have I to do with the future?
uiug.30112041682011	What if he came out upon her and found her with the Purple Flask in her hand?
uiug.30112041682011	What if he were not asleep?
uiug.30112041682011	What if he woke on a sudden( as she had often seen him wake) without any noise at all?
uiug.30112041682011	What if some noise disturbed him before the sixth Pouring?
uiug.30112041682011	What if the dream had opened those unturned pages in the book of the Future which told the story of his life to come?
uiug.30112041682011	What if the sleeper had been visited by another revelation than the rev- elation of the Past?
uiug.30112041682011	What is it? ” Neelie forced back the tears and made an effort to answer.
uiug.30112041682011	What is it? ” With his hand on the lock of the door Mid- winter turned, and looked back into the room.
uiug.30112041682011	What is the process of treatment when, let us say, mental anxiety has broken you down, and you apply to your doctor?
uiug.30112041682011	What is there to scare you in that rotten old cabin?
uiug.30112041682011	What is to be done?
uiug.30112041682011	What need is there to think of it, unless I like?
uiug.30112041682011	What need is there to think of it?
uiug.30112041682011	What next?
uiug.30112041682011	What next? ” Allan hesitated.
uiug.30112041682011	What next? ” “ Before you take any serious step in this matter write and tell Mr. Brock.
uiug.30112041682011	What right have I given you to think me wanting in gentleness and con- sideration toward any body? ” The doctor saw it was useless.
uiug.30112041682011	What room's this?
uiug.30112041682011	What should you say if I could afford to give you a hundred pounds?'
uiug.30112041682011	What the deuce was there to tremble about?
uiug.30112041682011	What trains were there to take him away on Sunday?
uiug.30112041682011	What was I saying just now?
uiug.30112041682011	What was Mr. Brock to do?
uiug.30112041682011	What was he doing when he was talking about Miss Gwilt?
uiug.30112041682011	What was to happen next?
uiug.30112041682011	What were you saying? ” Midwinter made no reply.
uiug.30112041682011	What will they say to each other at the last moment?
uiug.30112041682011	What ‘ Only think, my dear, the report that so shocked sort of night is it, I wonder?
uiug.30112041682011	What's the good of tramping backward and forward in that restless way? ” “ I am waiting, ” said Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	What's the matter, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	What's the than the love and forgiveness of her father, un- matter?
uiug.30112041682011	What's this door at the back?
uiug.30112041682011	When are we going on the water, I wonder?
uiug.30112041682011	When the yacht is ready for sea, and when I decline to occupy the ladies'cabin, will Midwinter hold to his resolution, and refuse to sail without me?
uiug.30112041682011	When will the future look a little less dark, I wonder?
uiug.30112041682011	Where are we now?
uiug.30112041682011	Where are we?
uiug.30112041682011	Where do they go to?

uiug.30112041682011	Where is the note that Mr. Armadale speaks of as addressed to Miss Milroy?"
uiug.30112041682011	Where's Richard?
uiug.30112041682011	Whereabouts were we in our conversation, Sir?
uiug.30112041682011	Which carriage was approach- ing — the private carriage with Mr. Armadale, or the public carriage with Mr. Neal?
uiug.30112041682011	Which side of the house is it?
uiug.30112041682011	Who cares for the misery of such a woman as I am — who believes in it?
uiug.30112041682011	Who cares?
uiug.30112041682011	Who has vexed you?
uiug.30112041682011	Who is it? ” “ Mr.
uiug.30112041682011	Who is this gentleman who appears to be anxious to speak to me?
uiug.30112041682011	Who knows what great things may happen before you and I are many years older? ” “ Who need know? ” said Midwinter, calmly.
uiug.30112041682011	Who knows what great things may happen before you and I are many years older? ” “ Who need know? ” said Midwinter, calmly.
uiug.30112041682011	Who leads this clever man astray in spite of himself?
uiug.30112041682011	Who makes him too blind to see the contradiction in his own conduct which he would see plainly in the conduct of another person?
uiug.30112041682011	Who so fit as Mr. Armadale's steward to meet Mr. Armadale on his return to London?
uiug.30112041682011	Who would ever have thought of a man at his age falling in love?
uiug.30112041682011	Whose child was she? ”%.
uiug.30112041682011	Why I wo n't sail with him?
uiug.30112041682011	Why agitate myself by writing them down?
uiug.30112041682011	Why am I dwelling on these things?
uiug.30112041682011	Why am I like the resident manager? — ” “ For God's sake, Allan, be serious for a mo- ment! ” interposed Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	Why am I not al- ways on my guard, and never inconsistent with myself, like a wicked character in a novel?
uiug.30112041682011	Why are we not perfectly reasonable in all that we do?
uiug.30112041682011	Why ca n't I let Time help me?
uiug.30112041682011	Why ca n't I?
uiug.30112041682011	Why did she dread the idea of their ever meet- ing?
uiug.30112041682011	Why did you sign your name ‘ Armadale'when you wrote to me?
uiug.30112041682011	Why do I keep a di- ary at all?
uiug.30112041682011	Why do n't I take my sleeping drops and go to bed?
uiug.30112041682011	Why do n’t you laugh?
uiug.30112041682011	Why do you con- tinue to wear your widow's dress? ” She answered him without an instant's hesi- tation, steadily going on with her work.
uiug.30112041682011	Why do you leave me? ” asked Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	Why do you put grandmam- ma's initials at the end?
uiug.30112041682011	Why do you speak to me about this?
uiug.30112041682011	Why do you tell them to write to grandmamma's house in London? ” “ My dear, your mother can do nothing in this matter, as you know.
uiug.30112041682011	Why not tell them, papa, to send their letters down here — to the post- office or the stationer's, or any where you like?
uiug.30112041682011	Why not try in the neighborhood first?
uiug.30112041682011	Why not?
uiug.30112041682011	Why should I care about it? ” “ Never mind yourself, ” interposed Mrs. Mil- ARMADALE.
uiug.30112041682011	Why should I try?
uiug.30112041682011	Why should you make excuses to me?
uiug.30112041682011	Why?
uiug.30112041682011	Will some chance word take them back to the time when I was in Mrs. Armadale's service at Madeira?
uiug.30112041682011	Will the Dream help me to check him?
uiug.30112041682011	Will the night pass, and the morning find me still thinking of the Letter that came to him from his father's death- bed?
uiug.30112041682011	Will they speak of Me?
uiug.30112041682011	Will to- morrow's newspaper lift the veil?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you come too? ” Midwinter assented with a weary sigh.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you do that for me, Mr. Bashwood? ” “ He would do any thing I asked him, he said.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you favor me by trying it? ” In those words you made your pro- posal to him, and he accepted it.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you go on? ” Allan found his place for the second time, and fell headlong into the bottomless abyss of the English Law.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you help me to bear the remembrance of it by never referring to this again?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you kindly oblige me by being my lawyer?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you leave off thinking about the dream? ” “ It's hard to leave off thinking about it, Al- lan.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you let me send for it?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you only wait over the night? ” “ I shall go mad if I wait over the night, ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you only wait till we can telegraph to Major Milroy and get his answer?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you promise me that? ” Pedgift gave the promise with very evident sincerity, but without his professional confidence of manner.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you promise me to do that? ” “ With all my heart.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you remember old times and give me yours, before it's too late? ” “ No! ” retorted Midwinter, furiously.
uiug.30112041682011	Will you try and be serious this next time?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you try to excuse her?
uiug.30112041682011	Will you wait, and rest a little while?
uiug.30112041682011	Without me to amuse him in the evening, and his clock to occupy him in the daytime — ” “ His clock? ” repeated Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	Wo n't you for- give me? ” “ Wait a little, ” rejoined Mrs. Milroy, “ Ah, ” she said, after an interval, “ now I know!
uiug.30112041682011	Wo n't you? ” concluded Allan, imploringly offering his arm for the second time.
uiug.30112041682011	Would he say No, if he saw me now?
uiug.30112041682011	Would the close companionship of the three on their cruise tempt the man into talking of his own affairs?
uiug.30112041682011	Would you believe it?
uiug.30112041682011	Would you mind, for my sake, calling her Miss Gwilt? ” “ Not I It makes no difference to me what name I give her.
uiug.30112041682011	You advise me to try the major, do n't you? ” There was a pause before Midwinter replied.
uiug.30112041682011	You are married, of course?
uiug.30112041682011	You are quite con- vinced, I think — ” “ My good fellow,"interrupted Pedgift Senior, “ why need you be in any doubt about it?
uiug.30112041682011	You can do without your luggage to- night?
uiug.30112041682011	You can valet me, can you?
uiug.30112041682011	You do n't mean to say —? ” “ Yes, ” interposed Midwinter, quietly, “ I have heard of it all. ” “ Good Heavens!
uiug.30112041682011	You found some books, if I remember right, when you searched my luggage at the Somersetshire inn? ” Mr. Brock answered in the affirmative.
uiug.30112041682011	You found yourself comfortable I hope, Sir, at the hotel in London?
uiug.30112041682011	You know him, you worthy creature the character of my respectable reference, half — he had the bad taste, some few hours since, an hour afterward?
uiug.30112041682011	You know what happened when the people found themselves with the pet object of their sympathy suddenly cast loose on their hands?
uiug.30112041682011	You see the process?
uiug.30112041682011	You want me to help you. ” “ If you would be so very, very kind, Sir? ” stammered Mr. Bashwood.
uiug.30112041682011	You want to see an ex- periment?
uiug.30112041682011	You want to see how the little bub- bles are made?
uiug.30112041682011	You will fetch it yourself to- morrow?
uiug.30112041682011	You will never say a word, will you? ” “ Stop! ” said Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	You wish to welcome me to the place, and to offer your services?
uiug.30112041682011	You wo n't suppose, will you, that I have told you this because I want to hinder Mr. Armadale from marrying Miss Gwilt?
uiug.30112041682011	You wo n't?
uiug.30112041682011	You've read the Trial of the famous Mrs. Waldron, like the rest of the world?
uiug.30112041682011	Your room shall be got ready instantly| Where is your luggage?

uiug.30112041682011	and what has he? ” He went back to Allan, sat down by his side, and took his hand.
uiug.30112041682011	and who's this coming up?
uiug.30112041682011	and why was he, too, waiting for the tidal train?
uiug.30112041682011	and you have n't the vestige of an angry feeling in your mind, have you? ” He seized Allan impulsively by the hand.
uiug.30112041682011	anything gone wrong at Thorpe- Ambrose?
uiug.30112041682011	are you ill?
uiug.30112041682011	can it be but Miss Gwilt? ” There was a sudden silence.

uiug.30112041682011	have I deserved to be taken at my word in this unmercifully exact way, after the years of tender intimacy that have united us?

uiug.30112041682011	knowing he was there?
uiug.30112041682011	looking for a lady? ”* “ I am looking, ” said Midwinter simply, “ for my wife. ” “ Married, Sir! ” exclaimed Mr. Bashwood.

uiug.30112041682011	neither my tea nor my talk can charm away?
uiug.30112041682011	of the night he watched through, on the Wrecked Ship; and, more than all, of the first breathless moment when he told me his real Name?
uiug.30112041682011	one where she was going, and without leaving “ Ca n't we get our information?

uiug.30112041682011	or to atone for my father's crime by giving him the devotion of my whole life?
uiug.30112041682011	or were you acting under the in- fluence of some other person? ” Allan hesitated.
uiug.30112041682011	or who else can it be?
uiug.30112041682011	purse getting emptier and emptier, and no ap- “ ‘ What have I done that is wrong?'

uiug.30112041682011	what am I writing?
uiug.30112041682011	what has come to you? ” he exclaimed, shrinking back from the tortured face before him, as he stopped and looked close at it for the first time.
uiug.30112041682011	what is it? ” Neelie's resolution gave way before her mo- ther's.
uiug.30112041682011	what is the risk?'
uiug.30112041682011	what were you thinking of while I was up in the mizzen- top frightening the cows? ” Midwinter suddenly stopped.

uiug.30112041682011	you do n't think your head is to be trusted to do such a simple thing as that? ” “ I'm certain it is n't, ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	you remember the miniature you found on the floor of the cabin when we were putting the yacht to rights?
uiug.30112041682011	— Did you see it?
uiug.30112041682011	— a mole or a scar, I ca n't say which?
uiug.30112041682011	‘ And are you not above doing it cheap?'
uiug.30112041682011	‘ Have you any business with me? ” says he.
uiug.30112041682011	‘ How dare you, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	‘ How?
uiug.30112041682011	‘ If I dic- tate the words, he went on, “ can you write what I tell you to write?"
uiug.30112041682011	‘ Leaving his widow these motives, the prosecution next showed by well provided for?'
uiug.30112041682011	‘ Public amusement?
uiug.30112041682011	‘ Surely, I said, ‘ your wife is the fittest person to write for you as you de- sire? ’ ‘ The last person under heaven!'
uiug.30112041682011	‘ You appear to forget"that every farthing I have in the world is embarked in this establish- ment. ” “ ‘ You stop here then?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ A friend of yours, Miss Milroy?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ A lady, Sir? ” he inquired.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Am I deceiving myself in this?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Am I in the right way now, Sir?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Am I mad enough to be thinking of him in that way? ” She burst into a mocking laugh, and opened her desk on the table recklessly with a bang.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Am I to consider myself in custody? ” asked Allan, half astonished and half amused.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Am I to go now? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ And how is it to be done?
uiug.30112041682011	“ And what comes next?
uiug.30112041682011	“ And what if it did?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ And what is the moral of this, as the story- books say?
uiug.30112041682011	“ And what is the object of all this?
uiug.30112041682011	“ And where are we going to now? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ And which is the right way?
uiug.30112041682011	“ And who may you be? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ And why is nobody to know of it but our two selves? ” 160 ARMADALE.
uiug.30112041682011	“ And you know that he found Mrs. Man- deville gone away, nobody could tell where? ” “ Well, ” whispered Rachel, “ what next?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ And you know that he found Mrs. Man- deville gone away, nobody could tell where? ” “ Well, ” whispered Rachel, “ what next?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ And you, too, Miss Milroy? ” added Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Angry with you?—Oh, my poor boy, were you to blame for being kind to me when I was ill in the old west- country inn?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Angry? ” he repeated, in his lowest, gen- tlest tones.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Any answer from Mr. Darch? ” asked Mid- winter, seeing that Allan was too lazy to put the question for himself.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Any bad news?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Any thing in this? ” he added, observing the fallen news- paper and picking it up from the floor.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Any thing wrong? ” she asked, in a whisper.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are the oars in the boat? ” “ Yes. ” “ I am well used to the sea, ” said Midwinter, descending the pier steps.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are we here still? ” he said, as Mid- winter helped him to his feet.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you better? ” he asked in a whisper.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you ill?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you ill? ” asked the rector, as soon as his astonishment would allow him to speak.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you particular to a shade about size or complexion?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you quite sure there is no mistake about the name? ” asked the doctor, with a strong underlying anxiety in his manner.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you sure of yourself, Allan ’ ” he ask- ed, with his face bent once more over the book; “ are you really attached to this lady?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Are you troubled with scruples? ” asked the nurse, with a sneer.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Bed?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Boiling water, is it?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Brown?
uiug.30112041682011	“ But suppose something happens, he persisted, ‘ that I do n't understand, what am I to do, so far away from you?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ Ca n't you help me? ” “ Of course I can, if you ca n't manage with- out me!
uiug.30112041682011	“ Call me a boat? ” cried the old lady, in great agitation.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can I help you? ” he asked, growing paler and paler as he spoke.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can I help you? ” ‘ Yes.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can it be the same? ” he said to himself, in a whisper.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you ask me why, ” retorted Allan, hot- ly, “ after your son has told you what we found out in London?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you close it again so that nobody would know 2"“ Can you spare the scarf that matches your pearl- gray dress?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you guess your father's plan for setting me right in the neighborhood? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you open it, Rachel? ” she whispered.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you put me on my guard against her? ” he asked, after a long interval of silence.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you sleep after what has happened? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you tell me her name? ” “ I can only tell you what Mrs. Armadale told me, ” answered Mr. Brock.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you tell me more about her without referring to yourself? ” he went on.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Can you tell me your dream now? ” While he put the question a last memorable moment in the Adventure of the Wreck was at hand.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Come, I said, softly, ‘ come and sit by me here. ” “ Why am I so particular about all this?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Did they tell you her name? ” he asked, in a voice that dropped suddenly to a whisper.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Did you come here by yourself? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Did you enjoy the drive, Sammy? ” asked the old lady.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Did you know that you had put this here? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Did you permit him to have his way? ” she asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Did your father tell you what Mr. Armadale's question was — or did he not? ” “ Yes, mamma.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do I look a little upset? ” asked Allan, tak- ing his arm and leading him on again.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do come in'"- “ May I? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do my eyes deceive me, papa? ” she asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do n’t be alarmed; there's nothing wrong. ” “ Where is my friend? ” asked Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do n’t you remember our spinning the half- crown on the cabin table, when I got the two offers for the cottage?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do n’t you think, ” she asked, demurely, “ that it is al- most time now to let go of my hand? ” Their eyes met.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you answer for that?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you hold me responsible for what has happened? ” “ ‘ Certainly not, he replied, stiffly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you insist on my posting this?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you mean to tell Major Milroy, ” he said, “ what your intentions really are toward Miss Gwilt? ” Allan's manner altered.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you mean your Executor? ” “ Yes. ”- “ It is a letter, I suppose, that I am to post? ” There was no answer.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you mean your Executor? ” “ Yes. ”- “ It is a letter, I suppose, that I am to post? ” There was no answer.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you re- member what happened when you and I were gossiping with the landlady at the bar of the hotel last night? ” Now then, Midwinter!
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you remember it now? ” he asked, and pointed to the Mere.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you remember what I said to you at Thorpe- Ambrose about Allan's Dream?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you see that bottle? ” he said; “ that plump, round, comfortable looking bottle?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you see that bottle? ” he said; “ that plump, round, comfortable looking bottle?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you think I tried to poison him? ” “ The words rushed out of my lips in spite of me.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you think she suspects us? ” The nurse turned away with her hard, sneer- ing smile.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you want a job?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you wish to speak to me? ” she asked, her mind far away from him, and her eyes looking at him vacantly as she put the ques- tion.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Do you? ” Instead of answering the question, Midwin- ter suddenly appealed to the doctor.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does Mr. Armadale show any sort of interest in her? ” Neelie looked up at her mother for the first time.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does Mr. Armadale think me mixed up in this mat- ter?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does he —? ” Her voice failed her, and her eyes fell before the doctor's steady scrutiny.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does he, too, stay here to- night? ” • “ Mr.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does it concern me? ” asked Pedgift Senior, mercilessly brief, and mercilessly straight in coming to the point.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does she love gou? ” “ You wo n't think me vain? ” returned Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Does she love gou? ” “ You wo n't think me vain? ” returned Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Done? ” said the second.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Explain the employment of a spy?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Fond of music on the water, Miss Milroy?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ For God's sake what is it? ” Midwinter took his hand from the door and came down again to the window, fronting Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ For me? ” asked Mrs. Milroy.
uiug.30112041682011	“ For me? ” inquired Allan, shrinking in- stinctively from a new correspondent.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Forgive you? ” she repeated, with her mind still in the past, groping its way back darkly to the present.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Frenchmen? ” he repeated, after an inter- val.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Good Heavens! ” cried Allan, pointing to the knapsack, “ what does that mean? ” “ Nothing very extraordinary, ” said Midwin- ter.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Hard, ” he murmured gently, “ not to have forgiven me that unlucky blunder of mine even et! ” y “ What else have you to say?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has Miss Milroy been more charming to- night than ever? ” he asked, gayly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has Mr. Arma- dale been near the cottage?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has Mr. Bashwood gone? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has he been turning it over in his mind? ” wondered Allan; “ and is he beginning at last to suspect the truth?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has he been turning it over in his mind? ” wondered Allan; “ and is he beginning at last to suspect the truth?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has he in- formed you, of all the people in the world, of his interest in Miss Gwilt? ” “ Me! ” exclaimed Neelie, indignantly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has he left the key? ” She opened the door to look, and saw the handkerchief thrown down on the floor.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Has the little you have seen of your master, Richard, inclined you to like him? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have I been dreaming? ” he asked, looking up vacantly in Allan's face.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have I looked at the consequences of my marriage to Midwinter?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have I made an- other unlucky discovery? ” he asked himself, impatiently.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have I no right to speak of him in that way? ” he asked, keeping his face hidden from the rector.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have I not known him long enough; have I not done enough for him yet?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have n't I told you that I always strike while the iron's hot?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have n't you got your watch?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you any remarks, ” rejoined the doctor, “ to offer on your side? ” He stood hat in hand, waiting.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you anything more to say? ” asked Miss Gwilt.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you done with it? ” “ Meeting him in the park? ” repeated Mrs. ARMADALE.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you done with it? ” “ Meeting him in the park? ” repeated Mrs. ARMADALE.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you done with me for the present? ” she asked, when they were in the hall.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you done with the laudanum?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you got any conscience left?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you got the last number of the Manx newspaper? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you read this through? ” he asked, quietly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Have you seen this Mr. Bashwood yourself, Allan? ” asked Midwinter, still obstinately on his guard.
uiug.30112041682011	“ He always tells his honorable friend he's quite willing to leave a something or other — ” “ A margin? ” suggested Mr. Brock.
uiug.30112041682011	“ He told you that I was the object of his ad- miration?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Here is your writing- case, ” he said, “ why not answer the letter at once?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Him Rachel, where is the major? ”** In his own room. ” “ I do n’t believe it! ” “ Have your own way.
uiug.30112041682011	“ His plan appears to be connected in some way, Sir, with his opinion of Miss Gwilt. ” “ I wonder what he thinks of her? ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How can any thing come of it?
uiug.30112041682011	“ How can you possibly have heard about me and Miss Gwilt? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How did they go away? ” The beadle deferred answering that second question until he had first pocketed his fee.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How did you know that the figure appearing to you in the dream was the figure of your father? ” Allan hesitated again.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How did you man- age to clear your head of those confounded me- grims?
uiug.30112041682011	“ How do you come to guess cumstances and the difficulty of approaching that? ” he began — then checked himself when Miss Gwilt's reference.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How is the missus? ” she re- peated, with an angry toss of her head as the boy ran off.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How long, ” he reiterated, “ have you worshiped the very ground she treads on? ” “ Longer than you think for.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How many days more? ” Not many.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How many days more? ” he asked himself, as he went back to the house.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How many pounds a foot did you cost? ” he said, looking back with scornful eyes at the last path as he left it.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How many syl- lables is the name in? ” she asked, drawing pat- terns shyly on the ground with the end of her parasol.
uiug.30112041682011	“ How shall I word it?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ I am surprised at your asking me the question: Did you ever know a man of the highest eminence in my profession who set appearances at defiance?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I ask you again, ” he said, “ what do you mean by it? ” “ Nothing, Sir!
uiug.30112041682011	“ I ca n’t make head or tail of it, ” he said; “ can you? ” Midwinter read the letter slowly, aloud.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I could not exactly swear to that, could I? ”, Neelie answered in expressive silence.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I do n't care why?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I had my eye on him, ” said the butcher; “ and what do you think he did?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I have brought up your breakfast, mamma. ” “ My breakfast? ” repeated Mrs. Milroy, in surprise.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I mentioned it, Sir, ” he replied, “ because I wished to acknowledge that I was curious and am curious about Miss Gwilt. ” “ Why?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ I quite agree with you, my dear: your Who are you?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I sha'n't startle you, Midwinter — shall I? ” he said, with an un- easy laugh.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I should like to made a clean breast of it?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I suppose I can go now, if I leave my name and address? ” With those words he put on his hat and walked out.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I suppose you do n't approve of it? ” he said, after waiting a little.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I thought the boy was to guide you? ” This time Midwinter answered, but in a strangely reluctant, irritating way.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I wonder if she's thinking of me? ” he said to himself softly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I wonder what she'll say to me next? ” She said absolutely nothing; she never so much as looked at Allan when he took his place in the boat.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I wonder what will come of this trumpery little quarrel?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I wonder whether my dear little girl at home is looking at the moonlight and thinking of ME? ” “ I could endure it no longer.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I ’ll wait a little, ” he said, “ before you light your cigar with it. ” “ How long?
uiug.30112041682011	“ I ’ll wait, ” he said, “ till we get to Thorpe- Ambrose. ” Till to- morrow? ” 78 ARMADALE.
uiug.30112041682011	“ I'll do any thing, ” he reiterated, earnestly—“any thing in the world to help her! ” “ Do you really mean that, Mr. Armadale?
uiug.30112041682011	“ If I let you stay a little —? ” “ Yes!
uiug.30112041682011	“ If I write to London by to- night's post for the man who came down here before, will that satisfy you? ” Midwinter shook his head.
uiug.30112041682011	“ If nobody will help me to put the awkward question to Miss Gwilt, I must stumble on some way of putting it for myself. ” What way?
uiug.30112041682011	“ If you wo n't tell me any thing else just yet, ” he said, faintly, “ will you tell me how you found her out?
uiug.30112041682011	“ In the mean time have I any thing more to tell you?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Into another garden? ” She laughed gayly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is it possible that you know the woman? ” asked Mr. Brock, surprised at the sudden change in his manner.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is my father's crime looking at you out of my eyes? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is n't it lovely? ” said Miss Milroy.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is that a bad sign? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is the business neglected all this time? ” “ Nothing of the sort! ” returned Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is the doctor here? ” asked a woman's voice, speaking out of the darkness of the carriage in the French language.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is the letter of any importance? ” Allan recognized it instantly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is the major in Norfolk? ” he asked, “ or is he near his daughter in London? ” “ In Norfolk, ” said Mr. Bashwood.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is the major in Norfolk? ” he asked, “ or is he near his daughter in London? ” “ In Norfolk, ” said Mr. Bashwood.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is there a fatality that follows men in the dark?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is there any limit, I wonder, to the brutish stupidity of some men?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is there more to say on this subject before we leave it?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is there no other way of protecting Miss Milroy but the way you have mentioned? ” he asked, uneasily.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is there no steward now on the estate? ” he asked, his face showing plainly that he was far from feeling satisfied with Allan's answer.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is this serious? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is this vessel French P ” “ Yes. ” “ How do you know? ” “ The men I have got at work on the yacht told me.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is your father alive? ” he added, addressing himself to Allan once more.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is your head bad? ” asked the old gentle- man.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is your head more composed? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Is'ter, and your education?
uiug.30112041682011	“ It is for this, is it, Miss Milroy, that I re- sisted temptation, morning after morning, when I knew you were out alone in the park?
uiug.30112041682011	“ It is not my present object to reproach you, for why should I waste time, language, and pa- per?
uiug.30112041682011	“ It's odd, is n't it, to think how much de- pends on this half- pay officer's decision?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Just as I turned the corner from the garden into the park who should I stumble on but Miss Neelie herself, evidently on the look- out for me?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Longer. ” ‘ ‘ Till we leave the Isle of Man? ” “ Longer. ” “ Hang it — give me a plain answer to a plain question!
uiug.30112041682011	“ Mamma! ” she exclaimed, “ are you in pain?
uiug.30112041682011	“ May I ask if I am right, Sir, ” he began, “ in believing that you have a very unfavorable opinion of Miss Gwilt?
uiug.30112041682011	“ May I ask if it is a letter altering your will? ” “ Nothing of the sort. ”- Mr. Neal considered a little.
uiug.30112041682011	“ May I ask what's the matter? ” Allan told him.
uiug.30112041682011	“ May I ask —? ” he began.
uiug.30112041682011	“ May I call you Neelie?
uiug.30112041682011	“ May I come in? ” asked Neelie.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Midwinter? ” she said, as she passed through the folding- doors of the room to her bedchamber.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Moore's?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Must I tell you the truth, Mr. Armadale? ” she whispered back.
uiug.30112041682011	“ My dear Madam, what excuses can I offer you?
uiug.30112041682011	“ My dear fellow! ” exclaimed Allan, “ what is the matter with you?
uiug.30112041682011	“ My dear lady, have you changed your name too?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Neat, Miss Milroy, is n't it? ” he observed, pointing to his initials, inlaid on the instrument in mother- of- pearl.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Not know who you are? ” Even as he repeated the words his easy good- humor got the upper hand again.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Not the man who let us in last night?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Nothing will in- duce me, Mr. Pedgift, to make any more. ” “ Why?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ Now I have done this for you, will you do something for me?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Now do you see that the last hope I had to cling to was the hope that your memory of the night's events might prove my memory to be wrong?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Now then what is it? ” he asked, impa- tiently.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Oh, Heavens, here it is! ” “ Where? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Oh, what have I done?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Or next day?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ Or shall I keep his secret as I promised?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Ought n't we to have some old lady here?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Perhaps they do? ” said the yellow young woman, and shut the door in his face.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Perhaps they know her at the private door? ” suggested Pedgift Junior.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Post? ” echoed the nurse.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Red is your taste in your old age, is it? ” she said to the portrait.
uiug.30112041682011	“ See my way? ” repeated Allan, in bewil- derment.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I go on with my story? ” she asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I open your desk? ” she asked, push- ing back the child's plaything sharply while she spoke.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I see this man again, I wonder?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I stop and think it out, as I have thought out all the rest?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I tell you the fancy that has taken possession of me now?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I trust you with his story?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall I write and tell Oldershaw P Shall I go back to London?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall we go up stairs first? ” he asked, abrupt- ly, leading the way to the door, and trying to gain time.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Shall we leave off our fencing- match and come to serious matters now?
uiug.30112041682011	“ She's got him, has n't she? ” “ She'll come back “ Mrs.
uiug.30112041682011	“ So you feel some curiosity about Miss Gwilt, do you?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ Something new, I should think, to you, Sir, in a sailing- match on fresh water? ” he said, in his most ingratiatory manner.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Something wrong? ” asked the nurse, de- tecting a change in her mistress's face.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Something wrong? ” reiterated the nurse, advancing a step nearer to the bed.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Suppose I tell you? ” he said.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Surely, here is a terrible situation for two “ WEST PLACE, June 20. women to find themselves in?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Tell me, ” reiterated Mrs. Milroy, more gen- tly, “ why do you hate her? ” The answer came reluctantly, a word at a time, in fragments.
uiug.30112041682011	“ That's far enough away from Thorpe- Ambrose, surely?
uiug.30112041682011	“ The advertisement may go to London now; and if a governess does come of it, oh, papa, who in the name of wonder will she be?
uiug.30112041682011	“ The army or the law? ” “ There seems to me to be no doubt about it, ” said Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	“ The child? ” he said in English, with a slow, thick, laboring articulation.
uiug.30112041682011	“ The next consideration is, What are we to do?
uiug.30112041682011	“ The one question is, can the woman be trusted?
uiug.30112041682011	“ These? ” she in- quired, producing them.
uiug.30112041682011	“ This is all very well,'you may say; ‘ but suppose something hap- pens — suppose he has a fit in the night, what then? ’ You shall see!
uiug.30112041682011	“ This, ” sighed the old lady, wagging her head with a smile of sour satisfaction, “ is what you call a day's pleasure, is it?
uiug.30112041682011	“ To London? ” replied Neelie, looking up in astonishment.
uiug.30112041682011	“ To- morrow?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ Too dreadful to tell me? ” She stamped her foot with a sudden outbreak of impatience.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Tuesday morning, ten o'clock.—Who was the man who invented laudanum?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Turning the lock of the door, is he? ” said Allan, as soon as his merriment left him breath enough to speak.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Wait? ” repeated Allan, in the blankest astonishment at his friend's excessive caution.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was he mad to persist in this way?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was he waiting your arrival here to tell you this about Miss Milroy? ” asked Midwinter, looking back again from the steward to Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was she a fair woman? ” asked the voice,** or dark like me? ” Mr. Neal paused and looked up.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was she a fair woman? ” asked the voice,** or dark like me? ” Mr. Neal paused and looked up.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was she ing as a witness to the last. ” listening? ” whispered Mr. Neal, in German.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was there a party at the cottage? ” “ No!
uiug.30112041682011	“ Was your father in your thoughts before you went to sleep? ” pursued Mr. Hawbury.
uiug.30112041682011	“ We'll try the breakfast first, and no chance untried of producing an impression come to the lady afterward?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Well, here is a fair prospect for the future surely?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Well, what did the moon do? ” asked Allan, in despair.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Well, you may ask, and what is to prevent your securing his good opinion?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Well, ” said the boy, with the irrepressible impudence of his class, “ how is the missus? ” The woman lifted her hand to box his ears.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Well? ” asked the father.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Well? ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What about? ” persisted Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What am I doing? ” she asked herself in a sudden panic of astonishment.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What am I sure of that really concerns my- self?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What am I to do? ” he said to himself, in the first impulse of alarm.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What are you thinking of?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What business have you with a heart at your age?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What can I do?—I ask myself, as a wo- man of business, what can I do to help you?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What can be the secret of this man's hold on me?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What did I tell you? ” says Mustapha, taking me up to an open door with a gas star outside and a bill of the performance.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What did you do on board the yacht?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ What did you please to want, Sir? ” asked the landlady.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What did your father say next?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What do you mean? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What do you say now to my improvement on your idea?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What do you think of my friend? ” whis- pered Allan, as he and Miss Milroy followed.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What do you want to know? ” she asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What do you want? ” returned Mrs. Milroy, impatiently.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What does this mean?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ What for? ” “ To ask you to keep my company.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What have I to do with the future, and what has he? ” “ Cheer up! ” said Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What have you got to complain of? ” “ Nothing! ” said Neelie.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What is it? ” Allan bent over him, and looked at the min- iature.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What is odd? ” asked a softly- stepping, softly- speaking gentleman in black, suddenly appearing on the threshold of the parlor- door.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What is the next scene in the dream? ” pur- sued Mr. Hawbury, referring to the manuscript.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What is there to look at there? ” Allan asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What is your letter? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What must I do? ” “ Come and see, ” she answered, without al- lowing him an instant to reflect.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What name are you thinking of? ” asked Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What next?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What next?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What on earth are you doing? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What on earth are you wondering at, gen- tlemen? ” he inquired, with a boyish bewilder- ment in his good- humored blue eyes.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What on earth do they mean?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What on earth does he mean?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What right have you to say that? ” he ask- ed, with raised voice and threatening eyes.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What rooms shall we put them in, on the first floor? ” “ Put Mr. Armadale in No.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What time is the train due to- night? ” she asked, in a whisper.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What was it?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What will the major do?
uiug.30112041682011	“ What's next? ” “ ‘ The next disability, ’ ” proceeded.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What's the matter? ” Allan hesitated.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What's the matter? ” asked Midwinter.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What's the matter? ” cried the whole boat- ing- party in chorus.
uiug.30112041682011	“ What's the matter?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ When will you learn to think before you act on those generous impulses of yours?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Where did you meet with Miss Gwilt? ” There was a momentary pause.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Where is she? ” he asked, looking angrily at his wife's empty chair.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Where is she? ” said Mrs. Milroy.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Where is the letter? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Where's the time- table? ” cried Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Which do you please to mean, Sir — the Town or the House?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Who are you? ” asked the surgeon, sharply, on his side.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Who is it, Neelie? ” she asked, in a whis- per.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Who told you? ” “ Miss Gwilt herself, ” replied Midwinter, gravely.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Who were you talking to? ” “ The doctor, ” replied Allan.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Who will you suspect next? ” she asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why am I like the resident manager of the Augean stable before Hercules was called in to sweep the litter out?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why ca n't I wait a little?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why did you leave her a moment in doubt about it? ” “ Because I am a lawyer, Mr. Armadale, ” rejoined Pedgift Senior, dryly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why dis- tress him? ” he whispered to himself.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why do I mention this?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why does n't Rachel bring it up as usual? ” She considered a moment, and then called out sharply, “ Come in 1 ”-- CHAPTER II.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why have you just read that pas- sage in your father's letter? ” “ To force me into telling you the truth, ” was the answer.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why should n't I give the ladies their two months if the ladies want them?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why, in the name of wonder, do you keep staring at the cabin door?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Why?
uiug.30112041682011	“ Will he come out of it? ” asked Bashwood the younger, roughly.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Will you come and make tea? ” Miss Milroy's attention appeared to be already pre- engaged: she made no reply.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Will you excuse the odd fancy of an heard her son talk of her; I know how he loves odd man? ” he asked, with a faint smile.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Will you let me go with you? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Would n't it be better if Mr. Armadale went on with his song? ”* “ Do go on, Mr. Armadale! ” added the ma- jor's daughter.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You are paving the way for your own happier life. ” “ Am I? ” said the other, thoughtfully.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You ask if there is reason to suppose that the doctor comes out of the matter with hands which are really as clean as they look?
uiug.30112041682011	“ You do n't object to vegetables, Sir? ” said the cheerful Pedgift, as the cab stopped at a hotel in Covent Garden Market.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You impudent little fool! ” she retorted fu- riously, “ do you think I want you to remind me of what I owe to your father?
uiug.30112041682011	“ You know that the postman went with this letter to Kingsdown Crescent? ” said Mrs. Mil- roy.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You mean the appearance of Mr. Arma- dale's father?
uiug.30112041682011	“ You were com- ing to my room, were you not? ” he said.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You were looking, I suppose, for somebody else?
uiug.30112041682011	“ You will hear it? ” he said.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You will never say I told you, mamma? ” “ Never!
uiug.30112041682011	“ You wish me to write something for you? ” he resumed, after waiting for a reply, and wait- ing in vain.
uiug.30112041682011	“ You would like to know, Allan, ” he said, “ that I shall not bring an aching heart with me to your wedding- day?
uiug.30112041682011	“ You're not angry with me? ” he said, in his simple, sweet- tempered way.
uiug.30112041682011	“ Your name is Gripper, is it?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ Yours, M. O. ” “ Well? ” asked the nurse, returning to the bedside.
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ Do you know what this is?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ Does your friend propose to join her hus- band by the next steamer? ” was all he conde- scended to say when I had done.
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ Have you nothing to say to me?'
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ How am I to communicate with her? ” he asked.
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ I wonder whether it's as fine to- night in England as it is here?"
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ What should you say, I asked, “ if I was rich instead of poor?
uiug.30112041682011	“ ‘ When can I see the Englishman?'

uiug.30112050661922	7 “ Will that be diflicult? ” asked Catharine, with natural anxiety. uiug.30112050661922 Are you alone, my dear?"
uiug.30112050661922	Ay: but who is? ” cried Godolphin, energetically. uiug.30112050661922 Do you?

uiug.30112050661922	A dark night, and a ladder thrown across from window to win- dow, he is with us, or we with him. ” “ But wherefore such precautions?
uiug.30112050661922	A present for Co- cile?
uiug.30112050661922	A robber?"
uiug.30112050661922	Again, where have you hid my brother? ” At that instant the door opened, and Mr. Rob- ert Beaufort entered.
uiug.30112050661922	Ah, if you felt one particle even of friend- ship for me, could you do so i ” “ Lucilla, what can I say'1 marry you. ” “ Do I wish it?
uiug.30112050661922	Ah, spare thy child, for in- fants are the saints of earth, and their meditations may be heard on high 1 Shall I tell thee why I part?
uiug.30112050661922	Ah, will that mother be ever mine?
uiug.30112050661922	All a sham, perhaps — eh, Hannah? ” “ Verylikelyl Consult Plimmins.
uiug.30112050661922	All that we rofcss to do is but this; to find out the secrets 0?
uiug.30112050661922	All?
uiug.30112050661922	Am 1 not, in fact, the person who descends — who forgets the wrongs of the dead, the heritage of the living?"
uiug.30112050661922	Am I enough disguised?
uiug.30112050661922	Am I not right, Constance?
uiug.30112050661922	Ami married or not?
uiug.30112050661922	An heir in possession! ” “ Of what? ” “ The reputation of having succeeded to a property, the extent of which, if wise, you will tell no one!
uiug.30112050661922	And Philip himself had said to her once — when had she ever forgotten his words?
uiug.30112050661922	And can you blame me if lhOIP- ll'ttllot'to myself as to you — I lingered on the spot?
uiug.30112050661922	And did on see whata look he gave limmins, when hejo ed about his indifference to his role?
uiug.30112050661922	And didst thou not, oh Guy‘s Oak, murmur warning from thine oracular hollows?
uiug.30112050661922	And docs the roof of the pastor give shelter to Helen Mainwaring's youth?
uiug.30112050661922	And for what?
uiug.30112050661922	And from that bed he was rarely absent: guzin upon it with his serene, delighted eyes, his sou?
uiug.30112050661922	And had timidity come with knowledge?
uiug.30112050661922	And have you seen any thing of Lil- burne?
uiug.30112050661922	And how dare I look up to her?
uiug.30112050661922	And how stand your resources now?
uiug.30112050661922	And if, at the end, your parents waver?
uiug.30112050661922	And is not ambi- tion full of anxiety, carc — murtification at defeat, disappointment in success?
uiug.30112050661922	And is not that a common type of us all; as if Passion deliohted in contradictions?
uiug.30112050661922	And my mother — my poor mother — did she not to the last maintain our birth- right — her own honor?
uiug.30112050661922	And now I will tell you “ Is your excellcncy serious?
uiug.30112050661922	And now I'll own to you that I think I knows that the youn er one is alive. ” “ Igou do?"
uiug.30112050661922	And now, may ask why you put to me that question?"
uiug.30112050661922	And she — could she even know what love was?
uiug.30112050661922	And so the establishment is broken up?
uiug.30112050661922	And so you part with me?
uiug.30112050661922	And that hitherto shown him?
uiug.30112050661922	And the other, had he not chosen his own career?
uiug.30112050661922	And the question then will be, how far that witness will suffice?
uiug.30112050661922	And this, then, was the issue of his single interview with the poor old man?
uiug.30112050661922	And was Zanoni indeed about to uit Naples?
uiug.30112050661922	And what Venice, and to_him she confessed, with passionate sobs and intense terror, the doubts that had ltnowest thou of Zanoni?
uiug.30112050661922	And what, in truth, are these woul- shuts out the enchanted land which was opening ’ be builders of n. new world?
uiug.30112050661922	And when did mirror ever give back a form more worthy of a Pericles to wor- ship or an Apelles to paint?
uiug.30112050661922	And when you told me about the mar- riage, did not Isay that I saw our way to a snug thing for life ‘?
uiug.30112050661922	And where will you go'. ’ To Spain?"
uiug.30112050661922	And who would not be kind to you?
uiug.30112050661922	And why have you dared to hunt me out, and halloo me down?
uiug.30112050661922	And why tell you all this now?
uiug.30112050661922	And why?
uiug.30112050661922	And yet, why, 0 lawyer, should rigid moral- ists blame thee more than such of thy tribe as live honored and respectable upon the frail and the poor?
uiug.30112050661922	And you preaches at me, do you?
uiug.30112050661922	And( sinking his voice till it almost breathed like music) is not love contagious? ” “ I do not doubt that she may love you — who would not?
uiug.30112050661922	And( sinking his voice till it almost breathed like music) is not love contagious? ” “ I do not doubt that she may love you — who would not?
uiug.30112050661922	Any thing as I can do for you?
uiug.30112050661922	Are not these Words suflicient to tell you all?
uiug.30112050661922	Are the stars quite dumb?
uiug.30112050661922	Are these the scenes in which the Aspirant for the Serene Science thinks to escape the Ghastly Enemy?
uiug.30112050661922	Are those vows destined to be ratified or annulled 7 Will the absent forget or the lingerer be consoled “?
uiug.30112050661922	Are we ever rude to governesses or companions, or poor writers or musicians?
uiug.30112050661922	Are we never to say the harbor is reached, and we are safe?
uiug.30112050661922	Are you human?"
uiug.30112050661922	Are you letting your pretty head run on the handsome gentleman?
uiug.30112050661922	Are you listening?
uiug.30112050661922	Are you so enamoured of this mreer that you scorn even to think of security and honour?
uiug.30112050661922	Are you so poor, then?
uiug.30112050661922	Art thou some itinerant mountebank, or some unguesscd- of friend?
uiug.30112050661922	Arthur had always been con- sidered a boy of talents and promise: to what might he not new aspire?
uiug.30112050661922	Ask the beggar whom he gets the most pence from: the line lady in her carriage, the bean smelling of Ban do Cologne?
uiug.30112050661922	At last shall Death reclaim thee?
uiug.30112050661922	At length Lucilla said softly; “ Tell me, hast thou really no faith in my father ’s creed?
uiug.30112050661922	At length she said, “ hy may he not marry me if he loves me?
uiug.30112050661922	At length, he turned his bright,'ingenuous eyes to Helen, and singling one ruse from the rest, said, beseechingly—“May I keep this?
uiug.30112050661922	At present I can warn and save thee from many evils-, if I saw more of thee, would the power still be mine?
uiug.30112050661922	At sixteen, what sorrow can freeze the hope, or what prophetic fear whisper “ fool”7 to the am- bition?
uiug.30112050661922	Be gentle With my Neophyte; and if his nature disappomq thee the first stages of the process, disimsB 11"?
uiug.30112050661922	Because I have acquired some influence; but; how?
uiug.30112050661922	Beside, who ar- gues with fanaticism?
uiug.30112050661922	Besides, is it not my duty to discover Sidney?
uiug.30112050661922	Besides, why should she have gone to law with- out a vestige of roof, unless she was convinced of her rights?
uiug.30112050661922	Blackwell, Lincoln ’s Inn ‘ 3 ”- “ What is our business? ” said Philip, halt- ing, and speaking short and fiercely.
uiug.30112050661922	Blind one, wherefore?
uiug.30112050661922	Bo quiet, Will you?
uiug.30112050661922	Bot,"and she hesitated with becoming and natural diflidence, “ were not his habits untixed and roving?
uiug.30112050661922	Brought up with them ’ cre line ereturs, how could you nail your nose to a desk?
uiug.30112050661922	But Sidney — who could expect consideration from such a child?
uiug.30112050661922	But are there no errors and no fallacies in the Chronicles of our own day, as absurd as those of the alchymists of old?
uiug.30112050661922	But are you going?
uiug.30112050661922	But at that late hour, would Zanoni visit her?
uiug.30112050661922	But can you suppose that this innocent love- play will not pass rapidly to its dénoucment?
uiug.30112050661922	But can you think of an employment where I can make something?
uiug.30112050661922	But children what can they know of death?
uiug.30112050661922	But could he, with a heart yet bleeding from the violent rupture of one tie, form a. new one?
uiug.30112050661922	But did Mr. Beaufort do noth- ing for the young men?
uiug.30112050661922	But for what phin recollected how hard it is to read a would you exchange it?
uiug.30112050661922	But is it in your love that Zanoni has crossed your path?
uiug.30112050661922	But is it too late?
uiug.30112050661922	But it is not to restore me to that sub one we love?
uiug.30112050661922	But ought I not to have left all things to follow her, to discover her, to force upon her an independence from want, or possibly crime?
uiug.30112050661922	But perhaps you are 121an betimcs of tho beau sore. ” “ Yet you devotion to it is, perhaps, as great now as ever? ” “ Mine!
uiug.30112050661922	But pray — I hope I ’m not impertinent — pray, may I ask if this rumour have any truth in it?"
uiug.30112050661922	But that time, can it evermorc return?
uiug.30112050661922	But the funeral, you say, ought to take place to- day? ” “ The weather is so warm! ” said the lawyer, wiping his forehead.
uiug.30112050661922	But the younger — pel'haps — you have a family ofyour own, and can spare him? ” Mr. Morton hesitated, and twitched up his trowsers.
uiug.30112050661922	But this, the ll<.Aooomlxq to the order “ f 8 ‘?
uiug.30112050661922	But what availed rage against either?
uiug.30112050661922	But what do you know of that ‘ ere youngster?
uiug.30112050661922	But what if he does love a rival I what if he betrays thee?
uiug.30112050661922	But what matters it?
uiug.30112050661922	But what should she call him, what couhl she call him?
uiug.30112050661922	But whose the opera?
uiug.30112050661922	But wo n’t you take something, sir?
uiug.30112050661922	But would you not rather come in? ” “ An agreeable inundation, ” murmured Lord Lilburne.
uiug.30112050661922	But you do n’t answer my question: what think on of Vaudemont ‘?
uiug.30112050661922	But you know all this, perhaps? ” “ My poor father!
uiug.30112050661922	But — but — the parents — will they ever consent? ” “ Nay!"
uiug.30112050661922	But, Spen- cer — what Spencer?
uiug.30112050661922	But, on that El Dorado, called by the grown- up folks a lumber- room?
uiug.30112050661922	But,"he resumed, after a pause, and in a deep, earnest, almost solemn voice, “ but, after all, is this cowardice or wis- dom?
uiug.30112050661922	By that table s?
uiug.30112050661922	By this grave, the link between the Time and the Eternity, whose lessons we have read together, will you consent to record our vows?
uiug.30112050661922	Ca n’t he come back again as you have done ‘ 3 ‘"“ Do you grieve for him still, then?
uiug.30112050661922	Can 1 get you anyithing till your luggage arrives? ” “ No.'
uiug.30112050661922	Can I grieve when I think itT — grieve when life with you spreads smiling beyond the old man ’s grave?
uiug.30112050661922	Can I not yet search, discover her, and remove from my mind the anxious burden which her remembrance imposes on it?
uiug.30112050661922	Can I send you any books from Hook- ham ’s?
uiug.30112050661922	Can cultivation force from the soil that which it is against the nature of the soil to bear?"
uiug.30112050661922	Can you conceive such absurdity in a man of that age — and a very clever fellow too ‘?
uiug.30112050661922	Can you guess how I spent that night?
uiug.30112050661922	Can you imagine that I will permit you~ any longer to remain with that vagabond Var- ney, and you crew of Vauricns?
uiug.30112050661922	Can you save me?"
uiug.30112050661922	Can you — do you love the humble, foolish F anuy?"
uiug.30112050661922	Come l ” “ What witnen? ” said Mrs. Morton, fret- l'ully.
uiug.30112050661922	Come, shall I guess at your character and circumstances?
uiug.30112050661922	Constance, need I say, again and again, that I adore the very dust you tread on?
uiug.30112050661922	Constance? — Are all in bed?
uiug.30112050661922	Constance? — Are all in bed?
uiug.30112050661922	Could he receive his hospitality?
uiug.30112050661922	Could she, thus doomed, resolve on declining her brother ’s offer?
uiug.30112050661922	Could the brother have abstracted the fatal proof?
uiug.30112050661922	Couldst thou not spare me a few months or days — no- thing to thy youth, all that is left to my age?
uiug.30112050661922	Dancing again; is it a dance, or some movement gayer, noisier, wilder still?
uiug.30112050661922	De quiet?!
uiug.30112050661922	Deal of practice — expect two accouchements ever?
uiug.30112050661922	Devilish hot — er, is not it — er — er?
uiug.30112050661922	Did 31?
uiug.30112050661922	Did I not resolve to renounce Constance herself, when most loved, for Lueilla ’s sake alone?
uiug.30112050661922	Did I send put my only child to starve?
uiug.30112050661922	Did he any longer love\{iola himself?
uiug.30112050661922	Did he rec- ognize, disguised as it was by pain and sorrow, that voice?
uiug.30112050661922	Did he, this Vaudcmont, ever say how much he admired you? ” “ He!
uiug.30112050661922	Did his ears deceive him?
uiug.30112050661922	Did it come from her — the saving angel?
uiug.30112050661922	Did it not, at least, secure bread and shelter to her child?
uiug.30112050661922	Did not the last sentence suf- fice?
uiug.30112050661922	Did the lawyer employed iy Mrs. Beaufort send to inquire for him in the colony? ” “ No, I fear there could not have been time for that.
uiug.30112050661922	Did they forswear the vow?
uiug.30112050661922	Did they sbandon the faith I Did even love allure them?
uiug.30112050661922	Did you never hear of his battle with the tigress?
uiug.30112050661922	Did you not observe, sir, a carriage behind us as we crossed the marshes?
uiug.30112050661922	Did you say Morton, sir?
uiug.30112050661922	Did your lordship purchase or inherit it ‘? ” “ I bought it of my brother- in- law.

uiug.30112050661922	Do you come from the moon?
uiug.30112050661922	Do you come, on the part of the young men, to propose a compromise?
uiug.30112050661922	Do you fancy that I did not penetrate your weakness the moment you mentioned her name?
uiug.30112050661922	Do you guess the danger to yourself — perhaps to both of- us — which you court?
uiug.30112050661922	Do you heed rue?

uiug.30112050661922	Eh, Bob? ” Bob slightly blushed.
uiug.30112050661922	Epidcr, smiling on the right right side of his?
uiug.30112050661922	Even for the object of his first love, could he desert one who had forsaken all for him, whose life was wrapped up in his affection?

uiug.30112050661922	For what could he love in her but beauty, which the very spirit had forgot to guard?
uiug.30112050661922	For what?
uiug.30112050661922	Gawtrey walked on for some moments in great excitement; at length he turned to his oompanion: “ Do you guess who Lord Lilburno is?
uiug.30112050661922	Grant that the spy lived to tell his tale — incoherent, improbable as the tale would be — who would believe it?
uiug.30112050661922	Had he been mistaken in his divine belief?

uiug.30112050661922	“ Not the daughter ‘ 2 ” “ No, she is beautiful, and seems good: not so handsome as our poor mother, but who ever was? ” Here Mir.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Of me?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Oh! ” said he, at last finding voice, “ is it thus — thus we meet?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Pardon me if I ask, Did you ever know this brother?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Perhaps the smoke was too much for him?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Poor child i ” said Godolphin, gazing onher; “ art thou not aware that thou askest thine own dishonor I?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ Pray, has that young lady yonder, in the pink dress, any fortune?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Pray, now, is he really dead?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Qui?

uiug.30112050661922	“ She calls me papa! ” said Gawtrey, kissing ‘ her; “ you hear it?
uiug.30112050661922	“ She does not love me,"he muttered, half rtloud; “ she will leave me, and what then will all the beauty of the landscape seem in my eyes?
uiug.30112050661922	“ So you say your sister is a beauty?"

uiug.30112050661922	“ Thy last letter, my love, was so short and hurried, that it has not cost me my usual pains to learn it by heart; nor( shall I tell the truth?)
uiug.30112050661922	“ Vell, Malden! ” said he, “ you look important this morning; what has hap- pened? ” “ E — hcrn!

uiug.30112050661922	“ Well, now, ” said she, turning to Lord Erpingham, “ I appeal to you: is not Miss Vernon to be married very soon to Mr. Godolphin?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Well, sir, there is no harm in a. sweetheart, is there? ” “ None in the least, ma'am; I advoise you to double the dose.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Well, then, Captain Smith. ” “ Of what regiment? ” “ Half- pay. ” “ I am Lord Lilburne.

uiug.30112050661922	“ Well, what news of your brother, Bully Phil? ” “ None: they will reveal nothing."
uiug.30112050661922	“ Well, you will join us Beau- fort?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Well, ” he said, with an altered voice, and taking the old man ’s hand, “ what say you?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What actress is this?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ What do you think of me, young gentleman? ” asked the passenger, as be replaced the pipe in his mouth.
uiug.30112050661922	“ What has pleased you, Sidney? ” The child smiled.
uiug.30112050661922	“ What have I ever done to thee, wretchl"cried the old man; “ what but loved and cher- ished thee?

uiug.30112050661922	“ What is that, at this hour?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What is the matter, momma, dear momma? ” said the youngest, pushing himself between Philip and his mother.
uiug.30112050661922	“ What is the matter, my poor fellow?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What now? ” answered the voice ‘ 1'” and it seemed familiar to Morton ’s car.
uiug.30112050661922	“ What report does your grace allude to?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What shall us do, Mr. Blackwell? ” asked Sha, who longed for his brandy and water.
uiug.30112050661922	“ What should I do for persons who have just been harassing me with the most un- pzincipled litigation?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What ’s this — bad accident — rode over?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What's the matter, Robert?
uiug.30112050661922	“ What, is this Lucilla?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Where is Mr. Sharp? ” asked Arthur.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Where is my brother? ” “ Gone away in a barouche and pair.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Where ’s my hat?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Where?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Which way?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ Who but a Rosicrueian could explain the Rosicrucian mysteries?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Who do you say that Frenchman is? ” he whispered to his brother- in- lew, as Vaudemont turned away.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Who is this man?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ Who re- sponds, with his own life, for your fidelity?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ Who sold it'3 ” “ Your uncle. ” “ He is a very naughty man, my uncle: is not he ‘?

uiug.30112050661922	“ Who wants me? ” “ I am the friend of your lost son.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Why do you stop?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ Why not have the child with you, since you love her so much?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Why, Monsieur de Vaudemont, what brings you to this port of the town?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Why, ” said Mrs. Trevor to Lady Erpingham, “ why do you continue so cruel to these poor people?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Will you die too? ” she asked once; the old man understood her not, and she did not try to explain.
uiug.30112050661922	“ Will you leave him at the King ’s Awrms?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Will you let her disgrace her- self thus?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Will you read to me, dear Constance?
uiug.30112050661922	“ Yes, sir. ” “ A little, quiet, subdued boy? ” asked the melancholy inhabitant of the Lakes."
uiug.30112050661922	“ Yet. ” said she, returning to the sub- ject, “ who can breathe the air that is rife with glory, and not be intoxicated with emulation?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You brought this note'2 ” “ I did, your honor. ” “ From whom?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You do n’t mean to come over us with the old story of the marriage?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You go to the Duchess of Daubigny ’s'to- night? ” said Lady Delville, in the course of their broken conversation.
uiug.30112050661922	“ You have ambition, then?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You have been dancing? ” said she.
uiug.30112050661922	“ You have had a bad accident, seemingly, Monsieur Giraumont: how did you lose your eye?"
uiug.30112050661922	“ You have had but little kindness shown you, my poor bo, if you think so much of this? ” “ No — a1 people were very kind to me once.
uiug.30112050661922	“ You have no one to care for you?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You speak French well. ” “ Do I?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You wear a wig, I think, Monsieur Girau- moot?
uiug.30112050661922	“ You will, perhaps, sleep there? ” “ Perhaps I shall. ” “ You are too young to travel alone. ” it was at first, pressed upon him.
uiug.30112050661922	“ You, sir — moind, I never peach — setting up here in the honest line?

uc1.32106014452566	A word of what?
uc1.32106014452566	About the door slamming on the landing, do you mean?
uc1.32106014452566	Ah, they told you about that, then?
uc1.32106014452566	Ai n't he a hulking brute with black hair and a beard?

uc1.32106014452566	Am I right, Graves — have I got the prize?
uc1.32106014452566	An Australian colonist, for instance, who had made money?
uc1.32106014452566	An appointment? uc1.32106014452566 And I have n't even that excuse,"said Lord Peter;"well, what's the next move?
uc1.32106014452566	And all this trampling is your men too, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	And are determined to follow his example — in that respect at any rate? uc1.32106014452566 And did it not occur to you that in a case like this the proper in- formation of the police might be more important than your orders?"
uc1.32106014452566	And did she show it?
uc1.32106014452566	And did you find anything?
uc1.32106014452566	And did you still think Goyles had done it?
uc1.32106014452566	And did you, in your own mind,pursued Mr. Murbles,"connect this sudden dismissal with anything which had taken place?"
uc1.32106014452566	And did you?
uc1.32106014452566	And for the rest of my life?
uc1.32106014452566	And how about all those type- written reports? uc1.32106014452566 And how long would it take a man, walking quickly, to get back to Riddlesdale Lodge?"
uc1.32106014452566	And how was it you did n't speak about it then?
uc1.32106014452566	And how was she, this lady?
uc1.32106014452566	And in the oak chest on the landing?
uc1.32106014452566	And is that your opinion?
uc1.32106014452566	And it leads somewhere?
uc1.32106014452566	And nothing came of it?
uc1.32106014452566	And now Lady Levy has confirmed those instructions?
uc1.32106014452566	And now?
uc1.32106014452566	And that's really all?
uc1.32106014452566	And the police?
uc1.32106014452566	And then?
uc1.32106014452566	And was he ever sent for?
uc1.32106014452566	And what did Mr. Stephen do when the money went?
uc1.32106014452566	And what did you do when you were n't inquiring into the poultry business?
uc1.32106014452566	And what do you propose to do next?
uc1.32106014452566	And what next?
uc1.32106014452566	And what row was that?
uc1.32106014452566	And what will my mother say?
uc1.32106014452566	And while you were waiting did you hear anything?
uc1.32106014452566	And who mought tha be?
uc1.32106014452566	And why Thipps's bathroom?
uc1.32106014452566	And why has n't this hypothetical gentleman brought forward any claim to the property so far?
uc1.32106014452566	And you could swear to those facts, if need were?
uc1.32106014452566	And you have since conducted an examination in collaboration with Dr. Grimbold of Scotland Yard?
uc1.32106014452566	And you, monsieur? uc1.32106014452566 And — forgive my askin'—hope it is n't impertinent — but does Miss Whittaker keep up the allowance?"
uc1.32106014452566	Any footmarks?
uc1.32106014452566	Any luck?
uc1.32106014452566	Any luck?
uc1.32106014452566	Any pass- book?
uc1.32106014452566	Anybody wishing to get in would have to waken you?
uc1.32106014452566	Anything in the paper, Bunter?
uc1.32106014452566	Arbuthnot? ” said Parker. uc1.32106014452566 Are n't I making your head ache?"
uc1.32106014452566	Are n't you putting it rather high?
uc1.32106014452566	Are the appearances consistent with his having lived for some hours after being wounded?
uc1.32106014452566	Are the marks found, in your opinion, consistent with deceased hav- ing crawled towards the house?
uc1.32106014452566	Are they trying Gerald to- day?
uc1.32106014452566	Are they? uc1.32106014452566 Are workhouse paupers usually fat and well- fed?"
uc1.32106014452566	Are you yourself connected with the police?
uc1.32106014452566	Are you, though?
uc1.32106014452566	Are you?
uc1.32106014452566	As well as your brother — practically without accent?
uc1.32106014452566	As what?
uc1.32106014452566	Astonishhr* position for a lawyer, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Awkward, eh? uc1.32106014452566 Ay?"
uc1.32106014452566	Beast of a day, ai n't it? uc1.32106014452566 Because he has taken a fancy to you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Besides, it would look rather well in the paper, CLOUDS OF WITNESS 247 would n't it? uc1.32106014452566 Bit of a dandy, your visitor, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	Bompstable?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter — where — you all right? uc1.32106014452566 Bunter, just take a note to the post for me, would you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter,he said, as they walked through the streets of the old city,"is my manner really offensive, when I do n't mean it to be?"
uc1.32106014452566	But Dr. Carr told me she got odd fancies — about people poisoning her?
uc1.32106014452566	But deceased might have been killed through a heavy weight acci- dentally falling upon him?
uc1.32106014452566	But do you honestly think it's very bad? uc1.32106014452566 But do you think he has?"
uc1.32106014452566	But earlier on, when the lawyer was there, she could have done so if she had liked?
uc1.32106014452566	But if he has the letter, why not produce it?
uc1.32106014452566	But if the death was natural, no one would leave a sick or dying girl like that?
uc1.32106014452566	But she did n't?
uc1.32106014452566	But there might be another opinion?
uc1.32106014452566	But what was she doing in Epping Forest?
uc1.32106014452566	But when she became so ill, I suppose Miss Whittaker managed ev- erything, what?
uc1.32106014452566	But when you really start on your life together, do n't you think it would be wise to arrange for a few breaks in it? uc1.32106014452566 But where is Miss Whittaker?"
uc1.32106014452566	But will they believe anything she says at the trial after that?
uc1.32106014452566	But you do n't think the fellow who left that chain on the body is going to give himself away by coming here and inquiring about it?
uc1.32106014452566	But, Wimsey, what light does it throw on Cathcart's murder? uc1.32106014452566 But, mon pauvre ami, how can I?
uc1.32106014452566	But, other things being equal, you would say that a wound in the head is more suggestive of suicide than a body- wound?
uc1.32106014452566	By the way, Denver still refuses to explain his movements, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	By the way, how did he make straight in the dark for the place where the spikes were missing? uc1.32106014452566 By the way, you made the photographs of those finger- prints I brought you some time ago?"
uc1.32106014452566	By the way, your difficulty WHOSE BODY? uc1.32106014452566 By the way,"said Parker to him,"did you ever find any signs of any poachers on Wednesday night after all?"
uc1.32106014452566	By whom?
uc1.32106014452566	C'est cela que cherche monsieur?
uc1.32106014452566	Ca n't Anderson hold on?
uc1.32106014452566	Ca n't you see it just in front of you?
uc1.32106014452566	Can I do anything?
uc1.32106014452566	Can I speak to Mrs. Grimethorpe, please?
uc1.32106014452566	Can you come round to 110 Piccadilly?
uc1.32106014452566	Can you give us any idea, Inspector, of the appearance of the two wanted men?
uc1.32106014452566	Can you in that case expect the witness to come forward?
uc1.32106014452566	Can you say to whom they were addressed?
uc1.32106014452566	Caught anything?
uc1.32106014452566	Chilly, ai n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	Come to think of it, why should you have? uc1.32106014452566 Coom where?"
uc1.32106014452566	Cork?
uc1.32106014452566	Could I buy my blacks CLOUDS OF WITNESS 335 here? uc1.32106014452566 Could Miss Dawson see that?"
uc1.32106014452566	Could it have been the result of an accident?
uc1.32106014452566	Could n't it have been done before?
uc1.32106014452566	Could you remember which day it was?
uc1.32106014452566	Crofton?
uc1.32106014452566	D'you have to do much of this sort of thing?
uc1.32106014452566	D'you mean you've got to the bottom of this thing?
uc1.32106014452566	D'you mind if Bunter hears it, too? uc1.32106014452566 Dear me,"said Peter,"is the old dog still going?"
uc1.32106014452566	Decent inn?
uc1.32106014452566	Did Captain Cathcart ever give you one like it?
uc1.32106014452566	Did Captain Cathcart open his letter there and then?
uc1.32106014452566	Did Captain Cathcart read his letter there and then?
uc1.32106014452566	Did Miss Dawson ever speak about it to anyone else? uc1.32106014452566 Did he make an appointment with you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Did he make an appointment?
uc1.32106014452566	Did he mention the name?
uc1.32106014452566	Did he say where he was going?
uc1.32106014452566	Did she and her sister come to you together?
uc1.32106014452566	Did she ask you to go on with the inquiry?
uc1.32106014452566	Did the person claim to be an acquaintance of mine?
uc1.32106014452566	Did they, though?
uc1.32106014452566	Did what?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you actually suspect —?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you ever possess such a jewel?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you examine the room at all? uc1.32106014452566 Did you hear the shot at all?"
uc1.32106014452566	Did you make a note of the names and addresses of the people in- volved?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you notice any blood or footprints on the path?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you recognise the voice?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you run up to Town at all?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you say you'd put the police on to find the fellow?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you see that?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you tell him the Duke of Denver was living here?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you think about it at all?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you think you recognised somebody?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you visit the bathroom before turning in?
uc1.32106014452566	Did you?
uc1.32106014452566	Do I understand you to say that cats such as this are only sold by Monsieur Briquet? uc1.32106014452566 Do I understand your lordship to be asking which hat Sir Reuben wore when he went out on Monday night, your lordship?"
uc1.32106014452566	Do n't you re- member how hastily she grasped at the suicide theory?
uc1.32106014452566	Do n't you think she'd be better if she got up an'came downstairs a bit?
uc1.32106014452566	Do people use this room much to write letters in, do you know?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you anticipate any difficulty about the warrant?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you believe the body could have been concealed in the flat after all?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you ever think?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you expect it to last much longer?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you happen to know whether she made a will?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you know how long the spikes have been broken off the palings over there?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you lose many animals in the bog?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you mean you've been letting the gardener swarm in here every day to water'em?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you mean — I'm likely to be attacked?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you really think you're doing the right thing, Mary?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you recognise this trinket?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you recollect anything about the letters that were brought in the night of the death?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you recollect whether any letters came by the same post for any of the other members of the party?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you remember the circumstances?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you remember what time he came in?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you think Mr. Arbuthnot would have invented all that, as a mat- ter of fact?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you think all this elaborate scheme could have been put together in a night, Wimsey?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you think he'd leave me alive while the law was slowly releasing me? uc1.32106014452566 Do you think so?"
uc1.32106014452566	Do you, though?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you?
uc1.32106014452566	Do you?
uc1.32106014452566	Do your drawings of legs begin on the right- hand page or the left- hand page? uc1.32106014452566 Does it occur to you that what's the matter with this case is that there are too many clues?
uc1.32106014452566	Does it? uc1.32106014452566 Does n't he stay here, then?"
uc1.32106014452566	Does n't it? uc1.32106014452566 Does she mend my sister's clothes, and brush her skirts, and all that?"
uc1.32106014452566	Doosn't'e live here? uc1.32106014452566 Doost want Ah should break ivery bwoan i'thi body? ” He turned on Bunter.
uc1.32106014452566	Doosta want t'stay t'night?
uc1.32106014452566	Doubtless, people are inclined to confide in you?
uc1.32106014452566	Dozens, dear — such a dreadful place, the City, is n't it? uc1.32106014452566 Dyed his hair, did he?"
uc1.32106014452566	Eh, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Eh?
uc1.32106014452566	Eh?
uc1.32106014452566	English?
uc1.32106014452566	Especially about the china, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Excuse me, my lord and gentlemen, but would you be so good as to cast your eyes on these two photographs?
uc1.32106014452566	Finger- prints?
uc1.32106014452566	Friend of yours, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	From whom?
uc1.32106014452566	From whom?
uc1.32106014452566	From your knowledge of his character, do you suppose he was ca- pable of a very deep affection?
uc1.32106014452566	Good morning,she said,"are you better?"
uc1.32106014452566	Good?
uc1.32106014452566	Grave?
uc1.32106014452566	Grimethorpe o'Glider's Hole?
uc1.32106014452566	Had a good nap, old man?
uc1.32106014452566	Had anybody told Denver about this other man?
uc1.32106014452566	Had he suspected this?
uc1.32106014452566	Had you an opportunity of seeing what letters were in it?
uc1.32106014452566	Had you lost it? uc1.32106014452566 Hang on, canst a? ” “ Yes, if you're quick."
uc1.32106014452566	Have you a very poor opinion of the police?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you an appointment, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you any Scotch blood in you, Parker?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you cautioned this witness, officer?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you finished in the dining- room?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you finished?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you got a brush handy,he asked,"to take this mud off?"
uc1.32106014452566	Have you got the old lady to bed?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you heard Robert Snoates recite his own verse to the tom- tom and the penny whistle?
uc1.32106014452566	Have you seen my friend? uc1.32106014452566 He is actually in gaol, then?"
uc1.32106014452566	He looked at Mrs. Mead and then at me, and said,'Ai n't there no- body to see to the lady, sir?' uc1.32106014452566 He was not there?"
uc1.32106014452566	He's here to- day?
uc1.32106014452566	Here,said his lordship,"do you want the story?
uc1.32106014452566	Hi,said the policeman,"what are you doing there?
uc1.32106014452566	Him? uc1.32106014452566 How about chloroform burns?"
uc1.32106014452566	How about the first possibility of all, misunderstanding or accident?
uc1.32106014452566	How about the maids?
uc1.32106014452566	How am I concerned in the matter?
uc1.32106014452566	How are you all? uc1.32106014452566 How are you, dear?"
uc1.32106014452566	How are you?
uc1.32106014452566	How can anybody answer that?
uc1.32106014452566	How can you, Wimsey?
uc1.32106014452566	How could the man incriminate himself when he never did anything in his life? uc1.32106014452566 How d'you get hold of it?"
uc1.32106014452566	How did you come?
uc1.32106014452566	How did you know?
uc1.32106014452566	How do you do, Mr. Dawson? uc1.32106014452566 How do you do, Mr. Parker — or ought I to say Inspector?
uc1.32106014452566	How do you know?
uc1.32106014452566	How do, Mother?
uc1.32106014452566	How far to Riddlesdale, Bunter?
uc1.32106014452566	How is she?
uc1.32106014452566	How long did you take getting to bed first and last?
uc1.32106014452566	How long has she been dead?
uc1.32106014452566	How shall I know when it's the right one?
uc1.32106014452566	How'd I know?
uc1.32106014452566	How's Mary?
uc1.32106014452566	How's this? uc1.32106014452566 How?"
uc1.32106014452566	Hullo, Mother — that you?
uc1.32106014452566	Hullo, Polly, old thing,he said,"where've you been hidin'all this time?
uc1.32106014452566	I WHOSE BODY? uc1.32106014452566 I did my best to do so,"said Parker,"as soon as I was called in to the Levy case —""Who called you in, if I may ask?"
uc1.32106014452566	I do n't think there's much fear of your turning into a Yorkshireman,said Lord Peter,"did n't I know you the minute I set eyes on you?
uc1.32106014452566	I repeat — why are you telling me all this?
uc1.32106014452566	I s'pose you could n't get'em to bring it in'Death by the Visitation of God,'could you, Biggs?
uc1.32106014452566	I said,'Excuse me, you do n't mind, do you?' uc1.32106014452566 I say, Attenbury,"said a kindly, brick- red peer, with five rows of ermine on his shoulder,"is it true that Wimsey has n't come back?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, Bunter, what's up?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, Parker, these are funny cases, ai n't they? uc1.32106014452566 I say, d'you know you're dipping those jolly little beads of yours in the soup?"
uc1.32106014452566	I say, wo n't you get a bit stared at, what?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, you know all about it, do n't you?
uc1.32106014452566	I say,he said at last,"I did know all that, did n't I?"
uc1.32106014452566	I say,he said,"have you looked at the wound?
uc1.32106014452566	I say,he said,"you give advice on moral problems and all that sort of thing, do n't you?"
uc1.32106014452566	I say,said the latter gentleman,"has somebody done something really wicked at last?
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose no dead body would be delivered to the hospital without your knowledge, Sir Julian?
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose they do hang peers? uc1.32106014452566 I suppose you and Peter do everything together?"
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose you've seen to it that all this business is kept quiet?
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose,went on the doctor,"you will hardly dispute my medical knowledge?"
uc1.32106014452566	I take it I shall find Mr. Grimethorpe in the house?
uc1.32106014452566	I think I have not the pleasure —?
uc1.32106014452566	I wonder if that's true about Levy being ill,he thought, putting the WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	I — what?
uc1.32106014452566	I — would you mind getting me something to drink? uc1.32106014452566 I'd better pop round and express sympathy or somethin', what?
uc1.32106014452566	I'm diggin'away too; between us we ought to get somethin'—you in your small corner and I in mine, as the hymn says — or is it a hymn? uc1.32106014452566 I'm glad to hear it,"said Peter;"it's so uncommonly jolly findin'all you Yorkshire people so kind and hospitable, what?
uc1.32106014452566	I'm sure you're proper gentlemen, if Mrs. Gulliver answers for you, for I've never known her mistaken in a person yet, have I, Mrs. G? uc1.32106014452566 If I may ask, madam,"said Sir Impey,"has any person any suspi- cion?"
uc1.32106014452566	If I tell you, it's the same thing?
uc1.32106014452566	If this bright idea is correct,said Parker,"it rather messes up your murder theory, does n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	If you know he is inno- cent, why tell all these lies to screen him? uc1.32106014452566 If, for example, the deceased had been looking out of the window, and the sash had shut violently down upon him?"
uc1.32106014452566	In consequence of what did you do so?
uc1.32106014452566	In fact, it struck Tommy Pringle and his friend that this was some- thing a little out of the way in a workhouse subject?
uc1.32106014452566	In fact, you do not, now, know of your own knowledge, that it was Cathcart?
uc1.32106014452566	In here, per- haps?
uc1.32106014452566	In that case, why has n't she attacked Murbles or you?
uc1.32106014452566	In that case,put in Wimsey,"could she have died from the effects of the chloroform?
uc1.32106014452566	In the face of that statement, you still say that you heard nothing at three o'clock?
uc1.32106014452566	In the winter?
uc1.32106014452566	In what way?
uc1.32106014452566	In your opinion, could the blow have been self- inflicted?
uc1.32106014452566	In your opinion, could the catch have been forced back by the knife found on the body of the deceased?
uc1.32106014452566	Indeed, my lord? uc1.32106014452566 Indeed, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	Indeed, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	Indeed, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	Indeed? uc1.32106014452566 Intention?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is Mr. Crimplesham really as old as that?
uc1.32106014452566	Is Mr. Grimethorpe in Stapley this morning, d'you know?
uc1.32106014452566	Is William Watts present?
uc1.32106014452566	Is anybody thinking of going to church?
uc1.32106014452566	Is anything bothering you in particular?
uc1.32106014452566	Is he a police officer?
uc1.32106014452566	Is he dead, dear?
uc1.32106014452566	Is he here? uc1.32106014452566 Is it the one you bought in Paris?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is it? uc1.32106014452566 Is n't Miss Whittaker at home, then?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't it all damnable enough for Helen, poor girl, and mother, and everyone, without you makin'it an opportunity to play Sherlock Holmes? uc1.32106014452566 Is n't it queer?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't she?
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't that asking rather much? uc1.32106014452566 Is that Mr. Parker?
uc1.32106014452566	Is that the Arbuthnot of the diary? ”I suppose so.
uc1.32106014452566	Is that the cat you have been making inquiries about in Riddlesdale?
uc1.32106014452566	Is that you Biggs? uc1.32106014452566 Is that you, Charles?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is the money legally hers?
uc1.32106014452566	Is the world com- ing to an end?
uc1.32106014452566	Is there anybody in the street?
uc1.32106014452566	Is there anything I can do in your brother's absence?
uc1.32106014452566	Is this person put forward as an expert witness?
uc1.32106014452566	Is this the first time you have mentioned this letter which you say you delivered to Captain Cathcart on the night of his murder?
uc1.32106014452566	It is, I suppose, a mascot?
uc1.32106014452566	It was a man, then?
uc1.32106014452566	It was found in the shrubbery, was n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	It's a bit unfortunate that we had to deduce his exceptional shortness and weakness just now, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	It's all right — I — might I have a drink of water?
uc1.32106014452566	It's all very well,said Wimsey,"but what positive evidence have we, after all, against this woman?
uc1.32106014452566	It's an ordinary ham sandwich, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	It's beastly, is n't it? uc1.32106014452566 It's impossible,"said his reason, feebly;"credo quia impossibile,"said his interior cer- WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	It's not the doctor's bag, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	Jump? uc1.32106014452566 Just back?"
uc1.32106014452566	Knowing that I have no choice but to act upon it?
uc1.32106014452566	Let's go and look at Levy's hats, shall we? uc1.32106014452566 Like dramatists, you know — so much easier in Shakespeare's time, was n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	Like to hear it, Charles?
uc1.32106014452566	Listen — over there — listen — can't you hear it?
uc1.32106014452566	Look here, Biggs, this is all damned impressive and mysterious, but what are you gettin'at? uc1.32106014452566 Look here, Inspector,"said Lord Peter,"what's the use of bein'so bally obstructive?
uc1.32106014452566	Look here, Jerry,said his brother earnestly,"why ca n't you let up on that alibi of yours?
uc1.32106014452566	Look here, Miss Elizabeth, you're sure it was the thirteenth? uc1.32106014452566 M'm?"
uc1.32106014452566	Makes one appreci- ate one's home circle more, what? uc1.32106014452566 Mary my dearl Why did n't you tell me?
uc1.32106014452566	Mary, have you thought what you are doing? uc1.32106014452566 May I ask the meaning of this extraordinary question?"
uc1.32106014452566	May I ask what was the result of your examination?
uc1.32106014452566	May I ask,said Mr. Murbles,"exactly why you want to know all this?"
uc1.32106014452566	May I come in?
uc1.32106014452566	May I know what the circumstances are, or is it an official secret?
uc1.32106014452566	May I know, first of all, what right you have to ask it?
uc1.32106014452566	May we take it that he was in exceptionally lively spirits?
uc1.32106014452566	Meanwhile, what is Mrs. Forrest doing?
uc1.32106014452566	Might not X,he suggested,"be an enemy of Crimplesham's, who designed to throw suspicion upon him?"
uc1.32106014452566	Might the mark have been caused by forcing back the catch of a window?
uc1.32106014452566	Miss Whittaker?
uc1.32106014452566	Morning, landlord,said he genially,"and when did you last see Piccadilly Circus?"
uc1.32106014452566	Mr. John P. Milligan, my lord, and —"Good God, Bunter, why did n't you say so before? uc1.32106014452566 Mr. Stephen was the only son, then?"
uc1.32106014452566	Mrs. Cropper, I should say — has been communicated with?
uc1.32106014452566	Murbles,said Wimsey, without heeding him,"is n't there a new Property Act?"
uc1.32106014452566	Murder?
uc1.32106014452566	My dear Wimsey, do you think I'm a fool?
uc1.32106014452566	My lord?
uc1.32106014452566	My lords, is it necessary for me to point out the inherent absurdity of this suggestion? uc1.32106014452566 N'ai- je pas toujours su, d'ailleurs, que tu devais infailliblement me trahir?
uc1.32106014452566	Nerve?
uc1.32106014452566	No correspondence?
uc1.32106014452566	No — but if she'd sat down here and fallen back as you suggest, do n't you think her weight would have snapped some of these young shoots?
uc1.32106014452566	No, but —"Look here, Wimsey — do you think he has murdered Levy?
uc1.32106014452566	No, does he now?
uc1.32106014452566	No, really?
uc1.32106014452566	No,said Lord Peter,"but will you give Sir Julian my card?
uc1.32106014452566	No,said Lord Peter,"but — who has been lady's maiding my sister, Bunter?"
uc1.32106014452566	No,said he,"wrinkles?
uc1.32106014452566	No? uc1.32106014452566 No?
uc1.32106014452566	No?
uc1.32106014452566	No?
uc1.32106014452566	Not many people about to- day, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Not proven, eh? uc1.32106014452566 Not specially, I'm afraid — why?"
uc1.32106014452566	Not true?
uc1.32106014452566	Now will you tell us how the letters are collected for the post in the morning at the Lodge?
uc1.32106014452566	Now, Lady Mary, you're feeling better, are n't you? uc1.32106014452566 Now, can you tell us what time you did get in?"
uc1.32106014452566	Now, mademoiselle, can you tell me how long ago this was?
uc1.32106014452566	Now, quick — how do we get round to the back of these flats?
uc1.32106014452566	Now, what does Mary do? uc1.32106014452566 Now- have you got that lamp, Mr. Wingate?
uc1.32106014452566	Now?
uc1.32106014452566	Nurse Forbes? uc1.32106014452566 Odd sort of fish, your employer, is n't he?"
uc1.32106014452566	Of more importance than his honour?
uc1.32106014452566	Of suspense, shall we say?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh — does he come in'The Last Days of Pompeii'?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, Throgmorton, yes?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, am I?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, are you going down now?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, did he?—well, just get him for me, would you? uc1.32106014452566 Oh, gods of the wine- flask and the board, how long?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, was he?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, well, what can you expect?
uc1.32106014452566	On Wednesday, perhaps?
uc1.32106014452566	On the 26th?
uc1.32106014452566	On the morning after Captain Cathcart's death were the letters taken to the post as usual?
uc1.32106014452566	On the night of Captain Cathcart's death your wide knowledge of the world was doubtless of great comfort and assistance to the family?
uc1.32106014452566	Our own sappers,he said;"sure of that?"
uc1.32106014452566	Particularly what?
uc1.32106014452566	Peter's Pot? uc1.32106014452566 Peter,"she said,"is that your ague coming on again?
uc1.32106014452566	Peter,she said,"what makes you say that he did it?"
uc1.32106014452566	Peter?
uc1.32106014452566	Possibly of some danger?
uc1.32106014452566	Rather a vague sort of search, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	Rather good, I think, do n't you?
uc1.32106014452566	Really, Freddy,said the Duchess,"does that matter?"
uc1.32106014452566	Really?
uc1.32106014452566	Right? uc1.32106014452566 Right?"
uc1.32106014452566	Risk?
uc1.32106014452566	Sais- tu ce que j'ai fait? uc1.32106014452566 Say now, Lord Peter,"said Mr. Milligan, “ can I do anything for you? ”"Well, d’you know, ” said Lord Peter, “ I'm wonderin'if you would.
uc1.32106014452566	Seasonable, of course, what?
uc1.32106014452566	See here,said Peter,"did you by any chance meet a young man with a motor- cycle wanderin'round here last Wednesday or thereabouts?"
uc1.32106014452566	Shake- speare always has the right word, has n't he? uc1.32106014452566 She did n't show any sort of nervousness about taking food from you?"
uc1.32106014452566	She really was afraid of that?
uc1.32106014452566	Shoot door, lass; what art starin'at? uc1.32106014452566 Shot — you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Silver sand?
uc1.32106014452566	Silver —"D'you remember those cacti in the greenhouse, and the place where somebody'd put a suit- case or something down?
uc1.32106014452566	Since my brother was here in August?
uc1.32106014452566	Sir Reuben Levy? uc1.32106014452566 So he was killed?
uc1.32106014452566	So much as almost to create a presumption of murder when the wound is in the chest?
uc1.32106014452566	So on the whole her ladyship was a bit more upset than you expected her to be?
uc1.32106014452566	So you were together — just you two — all the time?
uc1.32106014452566	Someone writin'pretty things to you, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Sorry, Mother, I ca n't hear; found what, where?
uc1.32106014452566	Sort of judgment for wantin'to marry into our family, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Still, when it comes to the gallows —"Do you suppose, Wimsey, that your brother really contemplates the gallows?
uc1.32106014452566	Sugg?
uc1.32106014452566	Suppose there are more than one answering to the requirements?
uc1.32106014452566	Thanks,said Lord Peter;"and you might find me my catalogue, would you?
uc1.32106014452566	That Scotland Yard man is your personal friend, I'm told?
uc1.32106014452566	That involved some severe mental exercise?
uc1.32106014452566	That reminds me,put in Parker,"suppose the great- niece is ex- cluded from the inheritance, where does the money go?"
uc1.32106014452566	That sounds plausible,said Mary—"academically speaking, I mean; but it is n't a bit like George — I mean, blackmail is so beastly, is n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	That's good enough, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	That's your idea, is it, Bunter? uc1.32106014452566 The gate's locked at night, I suppose?"
uc1.32106014452566	The next boat- train for Paris?
uc1.32106014452566	The other — where did you get this, Bunter? uc1.32106014452566 The position of the fingers being towards the house appears, does it not, to negative the suggestion of dragging?"
uc1.32106014452566	The servant?
uc1.32106014452566	The thing I should like to know about,said the Duchess,"is, was Denis really a card- sharper?"
uc1.32106014452566	Then how did this come to be wedged in the sash of the bedroom window?
uc1.32106014452566	Then the man was a pauper from the workhouse?
uc1.32106014452566	Then when did they take it away?
uc1.32106014452566	Then why ca n't I remember all the medical stuff? uc1.32106014452566 Then why did n't she send for her solicitor?"
uc1.32106014452566	Then why let your vainglorious conceit in your own power of esti- WHOSE BODY? uc1.32106014452566 Then why not go and try it?"
uc1.32106014452566	There have been such cases?
uc1.32106014452566	There is nothing in the medical evidence before you to exclude the idea of suicide?
uc1.32106014452566	They won't — they wo n't punish me so badly if it was an accident, will they?
uc1.32106014452566	Thick or clear, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	Thipps? uc1.32106014452566 Thipps?"
uc1.32106014452566	This effect would be increased by extraneous circumstances produc- WHOSE BODY? uc1.32106014452566 Through a Commission Agent?"
uc1.32106014452566	To Harley Street?
uc1.32106014452566	To make work for themselves, eh? uc1.32106014452566 To prevent the condemnation of an innocent man?
uc1.32106014452566	To the Savile Club, sir?
uc1.32106014452566	Touch of Jew perhaps, or Spanish, is it? uc1.32106014452566 Ugly, is n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	Uncommon quick work, what? uc1.32106014452566 Under what circumstances?"
uc1.32106014452566	Very well,said the detective,"is it to be you or me or both of us?"
uc1.32106014452566	Wait a bit — er — cer —"How about percer?
uc1.32106014452566	Was Goyles there when you got downstairs?
uc1.32106014452566	Was Jerry all right about your money?
uc1.32106014452566	Was death instantaneous, in your opinion?
uc1.32106014452566	Was he a gentleman?
uc1.32106014452566	Was it out in the open?
uc1.32106014452566	Was it the East Indies or the West Indies he went to, I wonder? ” Mrs. Cobling did n't know, but she believed it was something to do with America. uc1.32106014452566 Was nobody in the house but Sir Reuben and the servants?"
uc1.32106014452566	Was that all the asking he did?
uc1.32106014452566	Was that it, sir? uc1.32106014452566 Was that the room which you had seen to be illumined from out- side?"
uc1.32106014452566	Was the analysis privately made?
uc1.32106014452566	Was the front door bolted?
uc1.32106014452566	We might look in ourselves, eh, dear? uc1.32106014452566 Wednesday?"
uc1.32106014452566	Well now, did you sign this mysterious paper?
uc1.32106014452566	Well — you did become engaged to Dr. Carr, did n't you?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, I might try to get out on a technicality, eh, Mr. Watchett? uc1.32106014452566 Well, after all,"said Mrs. Marchbanks,"as Helen so rightly says, does it matter?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, but why mention it at all?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, had n't we better get a move on, or we'll miss this train?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, it would be conceivable, would n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, now, Lady Mary, it was n't true about hearing that shot at three o'clock, was it?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, tell me — is it one mystery or two?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, the question now is, what became of Simon Dawson? uc1.32106014452566 Well, the rumpled bed disposes of your story about never having gone to bed at all, does n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	Well, what could she have done, poor girl?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, why ca n't you?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, why the devil do n't you cut it short, then?
uc1.32106014452566	Well, you have n't been at it very long, have you?
uc1.32106014452566	Well,said Lord Peter,"if he only murdered me you could still hang him — what's the good of wasting a sound, marriageable young male like yourself?
uc1.32106014452566	Well,said Parker, silenced but reluctant,"why ca n't I go, in that case?"
uc1.32106014452566	Well?
uc1.32106014452566	Well?
uc1.32106014452566	Wellington Avenue? uc1.32106014452566 Were you ever in a jeweller's with him in the Rue de la Paix?"
uc1.32106014452566	Were you ever there, Lord Peter?
uc1.32106014452566	Were you looking for anybody?
uc1.32106014452566	What about those Argentines?
uc1.32106014452566	What about?
uc1.32106014452566	What are you going to have?
uc1.32106014452566	What are you going to write?
uc1.32106014452566	What became of your stick, my lord?
uc1.32106014452566	What d'you suppose has hap- pened to the old man?
uc1.32106014452566	What day sayst tha? ” he demanded thickly. uc1.32106014452566 What did I say, Parker?
uc1.32106014452566	What did you do to it?
uc1.32106014452566	What did you do?
uc1.32106014452566	What did you make of them?
uc1.32106014452566	What did you say you found on that skirt, Bunter?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you make of that?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you mean by abnormal crimes?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you mean by proof?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you really think yourself?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you suggest doing this morning?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you think I did? uc1.32106014452566 What do you think I found in the wash- stand drawer?"
uc1.32106014452566	What do you think of that?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you want to know?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you want with me?
uc1.32106014452566	What do you want with the back?
uc1.32106014452566	What have you been doin'with yourself?
uc1.32106014452566	What if I am?
uc1.32106014452566	What is it, Bunter?
uc1.32106014452566	What is it?
uc1.32106014452566	What is the difficulty?
uc1.32106014452566	What is the matter with the day?
uc1.32106014452566	What is the proper suit to put on, Bunter, when one is an expectant father?
uc1.32106014452566	What language did she speak with the gentleman?
uc1.32106014452566	What luck?
uc1.32106014452566	What made him lose his head?
uc1.32106014452566	What makes you ask that?
uc1.32106014452566	What new man? ”Ah, that's the letter I mentioned to you.
uc1.32106014452566	What next?
uc1.32106014452566	What number? uc1.32106014452566 What of it?"

uc1.32106014452566	What sort of bloodstains? uc1.32106014452566 What sort of person is he?"
uc1.32106014452566	What the devil do you want finger- prints for?
uc1.32106014452566	What the hell's that to you?

uc1.32106014452566	Why not?
uc1.32106014452566	Why not?
uc1.32106014452566	Why on earth should we try to connect B with C? uc1.32106014452566 Why should Mr. Thipps be arrested even if they are the same?"
uc1.32106014452566	Why should she be mixed up in it?
uc1.32106014452566	Why, Lady Mary,said Parker, in a perfectly toneless voice,"why did you say to your brother'Good God, Gerald, you've killed him'?"
uc1.32106014452566	Why, indeed? uc1.32106014452566 Why, indeed?
uc1.32106014452566	Why, whose room is it?
uc1.32106014452566	Why? uc1.32106014452566 Why?"
uc1.32106014452566	Why?
uc1.32106014452566	Why?
uc1.32106014452566	Why?
uc1.32106014452566	Why?
uc1.32106014452566	Why?
uc1.32106014452566	Will you at least take Bunter?
uc1.32106014452566	Will you communicate your impressions to the Jury?
uc1.32106014452566	Will you tell us what happened on that occasion?
uc1.32106014452566	Will you write it out now for a thousand pounds, Scoot, in case it slips my mind later?
uc1.32106014452566	With bad results for your health?
uc1.32106014452566	Wo n't they?
uc1.32106014452566	Wo n't you find it rather dull and lonely — just you two girls together? uc1.32106014452566 Wo n't you introduce me?"
uc1.32106014452566	Wo n't you sit down?
uc1.32106014452566	Wo n't you take a seat?
uc1.32106014452566	Would it have been instantly fatal?
uc1.32106014452566	Would such a wound cause fever?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes — oh, yes — he'd have had to, would n't he?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes — the question is a complicated one —"What did I tell you?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes — when did the last occur?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes, but how?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes, old thing?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes, well?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes,said Peter, with a grin,"you always did find him a bit sickenin', did n't you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Yes; did you notice that the soot on the window- sill was vaguely marked?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes; even Parker swallowed that, did n't you, old man?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes?
uc1.32106014452566	Yes?
uc1.32106014452566	You are com- ing to the Bazaar, then?
uc1.32106014452566	You are in agreement as to the cause of death?
uc1.32106014452566	You are seeking advice for her?
uc1.32106014452566	You are sure he was dead?
uc1.32106014452566	You asked to see me?
uc1.32106014452566	You did n't bring the prescription, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	You did n't happen to notice the number of the bicycle?
uc1.32106014452566	You did n't see any suspicious character loitering about outside these palings last Wednesday, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	You did? uc1.32106014452566 You do n't say so?"
uc1.32106014452566	You do n't suppose I'm exactly enjoying this business, do you? uc1.32106014452566 You do n't suppose she was brought and put here, do you, sir?"
uc1.32106014452566	You do not come from Miss Whittaker?
uc1.32106014452566	You feel bound to carry it through?
uc1.32106014452566	You have a colleague in the case?
uc1.32106014452566	You have not yet completed the course of action on which you have decided?
uc1.32106014452566	You just come from Jerry?
uc1.32106014452566	You noticed no other person's tracks, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	You regard all these things as physical?
uc1.32106014452566	You saw no person, and no body?
uc1.32106014452566	You say that you took all these important letters out of the house without authority and without acquainting the police?
uc1.32106014452566	You see how I'm bullied by my own man, Parker? uc1.32106014452566 You seem quite familiar with the question,"said Parker, with a smile;"I suppose you are always being asked it since this new Act came in?"
uc1.32106014452566	You show a remarkable disposi- tion for crime, do n't you, eh?
uc1.32106014452566	You think Mrs. Forrest is an accomplice?
uc1.32106014452566	You understand what you have to do, do n't you?
uc1.32106014452566	You went out — why?—to meet Cathcart?
uc1.32106014452566	You were in Paris last February?
uc1.32106014452566	You were the first medical man to see the deceased?
uc1.32106014452566	You will?
uc1.32106014452566	You wo n't tell me?
uc1.32106014452566	You would, would you?
uc1.32106014452566	You yourself are not serving a private vengeance?
uc1.32106014452566	You'd run away all right if you believed me, and why not? uc1.32106014452566 You're a noticing one, are n't you?"
uc1.32106014452566	You're having this note traced, Walmisley, I suppose?
uc1.32106014452566	You're sure it's safe to leave it?
uc1.32106014452566	You're sure those fellows have got Mrs. Forrest safe?
uc1.32106014452566	You've muzzled the workhouse people?
uc1.32106014452566	You? uc1.32106014452566 You?"
uc1.32106014452566	YouH swear you are n't spies of my husband's?
uc1.32106014452566	Young man with a motor- bike?
uc1.32106014452566	Your mind was made up?
uc1.32106014452566	Your work calls you?
uc1.32106014452566	— and meanwhile,pursued Mr. Parker, unheeding,"do our best to find the actual criminal?"
uc1.32106014452566	'"Did you hear anything unusual in the night?'
uc1.32106014452566	'Andsome old lady, ai n't she, sir?"
uc1.32106014452566	'But,'she says,'why not go to London?
uc1.32106014452566	'Can you tell me, please,'says the mysterious stranger,* whether this street leads into Prince of Wales Road?'
uc1.32106014452566	'Do you mean to say you do n't deny it?'
uc1.32106014452566	'Look here,'I said,'can I just have a word with you?'
uc1.32106014452566	'O Inspiration, solitary child, warbling thy native wood- notes wild —'Did somebody write that, or did I invent it?

uc1.32106014452566	'Stra'or'nary thing,"he added, as though struck by a new idea,"why hashn't alarm gone off, Shugg?"
uc1.32106014452566	'Tisn't what I call a headache, would you, now?
uc1.32106014452566	'What about it?'
uc1.32106014452566	'What are you drivin'at?'
uc1.32106014452566	'What did you do with your great wealth, comrade?'
uc1.32106014452566	'When's that?'
uc1.32106014452566	'Why did n't you say so before?'
uc1.32106014452566	'Why should the Duchy of Lancaster have any right to it?'
uc1.32106014452566	'You'll stand us a drink then, darling,'that was what she said, and I said,'Was n't it after hours?'
uc1.32106014452566	("So picturesque, is n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	)* The Coroner:"Were you surprised by that remark? ” Duke of D.:"Well, I was so shocked and surprised at the whole thing.
uc1.32106014452566	* After expressing his sympathy, the Coroner asked,"How long had you been engaged to the deceased?"
uc1.32106014452566	* Antimony?

uc1.32106014452566	10 blackmailing Cath- cart about?

uc1.32106014452566	10 walked in here, went to the study, fetched the revolver, walked back here, and shot Cathcart?

uc1.32106014452566	113"How about Crimplesham's pince- nez?"
uc1.32106014452566	17"Well, Bunter,"said Lord Peter,"what do you make of it?"
uc1.32106014452566	176 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY"Then why no signs of a struggle?"
uc1.32106014452566	222 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY"Wimsey,"said Parker, much excited,"did she mean she suspected something?"
uc1.32106014452566	270 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY"That so?"
uc1.32106014452566	32 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY"Do you make anything of these, Parker?"
uc1.32106014452566	362 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY"Mine?

uc1.32106014452566	61 the Duchess, who greeted him charmingly, and said:"What's happened to poor Peter?"
uc1.32106014452566	65"And you heard nothing in the night?"

uc1.32106014452566	98 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY Bunter: Do you sleep in the basement, then, to hear him so plain?
uc1.32106014452566	:'"To whom did you make that observation?'
uc1.32106014452566	A brandy?
uc1.32106014452566	A charming manicure set, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	A lean, stringy arm, perhaps, with no extra fat anywhere?"
uc1.32106014452566	A liqueur?
uc1.32106014452566	A little bit eccentric, like the rest of the family, but a charm- ing old lady, do n't you think?"
uc1.32106014452566	A probable opinion?
uc1.32106014452566	A tall, fair man dressed in a Burberry?"
uc1.32106014452566	A telegram?
uc1.32106014452566	A'oss never talks no foolishness, I says to her, and that's more than you can always say of women, ai n't it, sir?"
uc1.32106014452566	Accordingly, I think she is debarred from in- heriting under the new Act, eh?
uc1.32106014452566	After 1837, in a will,'issue'means'heirs of the body'— that is to say,'issue ad infinitum?
uc1.32106014452566	After this deliberate insult to a noble vintage there was a further pause, till Lord Peter said:"How's'Change?"
uc1.32106014452566	Ai n't there any ink?"

uc1.32106014452566	And I daresay your governor's often out all night, eh?
uc1.32106014452566	And did n't he come, then?"
uc1.32106014452566	And how's Mary?"
uc1.32106014452566	And if UNNATURAL DEATH 477 Miss Grant should ring you up again — where did she call from, by the way?"
uc1.32106014452566	And so did thi friend, did n't ’ un?
uc1.32106014452566	And the green- eyed cat?
uc1.32106014452566	And the scar- was it three- cornered, just above the elbow?"
uc1.32106014452566	And what was Gerald doing in the garden at 3 a.m.?"
uc1.32106014452566	And why?
uc1.32106014452566	And with no results?
uc1.32106014452566	And you might just ring for that fellow with the churchyard name, do you mind?"
uc1.32106014452566	And your friend?"
uc1.32106014452566	And, bein'there, sir, what can I'ave the pleasure of offerin'you?
uc1.32106014452566	And, having seriously hampered the case for the defence, what are you going to do next?"
uc1.32106014452566	And, in any case, the inquiry was irrelevant, as there was no body missing, nor ever had been?
uc1.32106014452566	And, meanwhile, what did she do with the suit- case?"
uc1.32106014452566	Any money in that purse?
uc1.32106014452566	Any news?"
uc1.32106014452566	Any pocket- book?"
uc1.32106014452566	Anything in your department?
uc1.32106014452566	Anything more?"
uc1.32106014452566	Anything wrong with my brother?"
uc1.32106014452566	Are there unsuccessful architects thirsting for his blood?
uc1.32106014452566	Are we all ready?
uc1.32106014452566	Are you aware that you have any enemy — anyone, I mean, who would profit by your — er — decease or disgrace?"
uc1.32106014452566	Are you fond of private theatricals, Lord Peter?"
uc1.32106014452566	Are you in trouble?
uc1.32106014452566	Are you ready? ” “ Right you are, sir.
uc1.32106014452566	Are you turning philanthropist in your old age?"
uc1.32106014452566	Argentines?
uc1.32106014452566	As soon as his steps had died away in the dis- WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	Ask Bunter to step up, would you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Asleep?"
uc1.32106014452566	Astonishing thing that people ca n't say what they mean when they draw Acts, eh?
uc1.32106014452566	Auprès de ces merveilles, évidemment, que valent l'amour et l'honneur?
uc1.32106014452566	Baths?
uc1.32106014452566	Beastly nuisance, ai n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	Beastly slow business, all this legal stuff, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Beastly stuff, grass, eh, Charles?"
uc1.32106014452566	Beautiful, is n't it, Dr. Colegrove?
uc1.32106014452566	Before long, a way opened magically through the press, and Mr. Parker found himself accommodated with a front seat just behind WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	Beg pardon, Mrs. Marchbanks?
uc1.32106014452566	Ben, do you think it could be that?-Old Simon, you know?"
uc1.32106014452566	Besides, how about old Levy?
uc1.32106014452566	Besides, if you must run off to town, why do it in that unfinished manner?
uc1.32106014452566	Besides, why three?
uc1.32106014452566	Besides-- I say, are they coming out? ” The crowd in Parliament Square was beginning to stir and spread.
uc1.32106014452566	Bled a lot, has n't it, poor thing?
uc1.32106014452566	Body much altered, Su- perintendent?"
uc1.32106014452566	Bring a bottle of — what'll you'ave, my lord?"
uc1.32106014452566	Bugs?"
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter! ”"My lord? ”"The Napoleon brandy."
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter, if I sacked you here and now, would you tell me what you think of me?"
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: Does Mrs. Cummings live with you at Battersea?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: Does Sir Julian always do that?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: How does he do that?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: Is he habitually as late as that, Mr. Cummings?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: Temper?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: This was a downstairs visitor, then?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: Well, what do you think, Mr. Cummings?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: What does he do?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter: You do n't mean to say, Mr. Cummings, a great specialist like Sir Julian Freke does night work at the hospital?
uc1.32106014452566	Bunter?"
uc1.32106014452566	But does he actually realise — imaginatively — that it is pos- sible to hang an English peer for murder on circumstantial evidence?"
uc1.32106014452566	But he retired last year and went away to Italy or some such place. ” “ Who was he?"
uc1.32106014452566	But how about the crimes which are never even suspected?"
uc1.32106014452566	But how are we going to prove that it came that evening?
uc1.32106014452566	But how did you know he'd be there if you did ask?
uc1.32106014452566	But if I did, every- body would think I was an envious old maid, would n't they?"
uc1.32106014452566	But in that case, why not tell all she knew?
uc1.32106014452566	But on measuring the footprints, what do we find?
uc1.32106014452566	But one ai n't like that in real life, d'you think so, Lord Peter?"
uc1.32106014452566	But perhaps Miss Whittaker did not get the money after all?"
uc1.32106014452566	But please, sir, what ought we to do, sir?"
uc1.32106014452566	But should you say it was a young man's arm?
uc1.32106014452566	But supposin'it was Cathcart?
uc1.32106014452566	But there, sir, we all'as our peculiarities, do n't we?
uc1.32106014452566	But things bein'as they are, you see, we must make what we can of him as a witness, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	But was deceased hon- ourable?
uc1.32106014452566	But what did the niece do?
uc1.32106014452566	But what kind of a devil drags a corpse that is n't quite dead?"
uc1.32106014452566	But what was this old gentleman doing to let a vintage like that get past its prime?"
uc1.32106014452566	But what were you doing there?"
uc1.32106014452566	But what's a char?
uc1.32106014452566	But what's the good of that when he's been and gone and lost you your night's rest?
uc1.32106014452566	But when do you suppose it happened?
uc1.32106014452566	But where?
uc1.32106014452566	But you will find an- other way?"
uc1.32106014452566	But — have I got rather an extra good memory, then?"
uc1.32106014452566	But, I say — if there was a will, why was n't it produced?"
uc1.32106014452566	But, after all, what's money?"
uc1.32106014452566	But, do you suppose that possibly getting engaged 366 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY"Did n't you send him?
uc1.32106014452566	But, in that case, they must ask themselves how the Duke came to go out to de- ceased with a lethal weapon in his hand?
uc1.32106014452566	But, my lords, if he is telling the truth in saying that he walked all that time upon the moors without meeting anyone, what alibi could he establish?
uc1.32106014452566	But, naturally, of course, you rotten ass, is n't it obvious?
uc1.32106014452566	Bwllat- Savarin"well,"said Wimsey, as Parker was ushered in that same evening by Bunter,"have you got anything fresh?"
uc1.32106014452566	By Mr. Glibbery:"Do you observe any marks on the blade?"
uc1.32106014452566	By the way, Parker, when Mary confessed her sins to you last night, did you make any notes?"
uc1.32106014452566	By the way, did Goyles know Cathcart at all?"

uc1.32106014452566	I decided that he would suit my purpose very well, and immediately put WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	I do n't quite know what I ought — Can you tell me just how far you've got — what you have discovered?"
uc1.32106014452566	I do so detest formality, do n't you, and to belong to the Vicarage work- party is a sort of introduction in itself, do n't you think?
uc1.32106014452566	I gather she was a little queer towards the end — a bit mental, I think you people call it?"
uc1.32106014452566	I had got about half- way along when I suddenly thought,"Why, this must be about little Thipps's place,"and I remem- WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	I hope they are n't all washed away, are they, old thing?"
uc1.32106014452566	I know you'd call it a sin, of course, but why is it so very dreadful?
uc1.32106014452566	I mean, why be bitter?
uc1.32106014452566	I must write WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	I must, must n't I?
uc1.32106014452566	I never heard anything against him- till that evening. ” The Coroner:"What was that? ” Duke of D.:"Well, the fact is- it was deuced queer.
uc1.32106014452566	I really did my best, but dear old Dow- son is getting as deaf as a post, you know, and terribly fumbling in his movements.—And how are you, Wimsey?
uc1.32106014452566	I said to poor Mary Whittaker only the other day,'Do n't you find it very lonely in that house, my dear, now that your poor dear Aunt is no more?'
uc1.32106014452566	I said who?"
uc1.32106014452566	I said,'Do I understand that there was anything odd about the old lady's death?
uc1.32106014452566	I said,'What?'
uc1.32106014452566	I say, Bunter, have I any clothes to put on?"
uc1.32106014452566	I say, Helen, old Gerald's been an'gone an'done it this time, what?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, Parker, shall we go quietly home and have lunch and go to the Coliseum?"
uc1.32106014452566	I say, have you all finished?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, how about getting hold of Dr. Carr again?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, how about the other nurse?"
uc1.32106014452566	I say, old thing, neither your man nor mine has left much clue to go upon, has he?
uc1.32106014452566	I say, that's rather odd, do n't you think?
uc1.32106014452566	I sent them off when I saw Lady Levy to the car. ” “ Who is with them? ”.
uc1.32106014452566	I should — of course, I know I'm a bit of a fool, but then, most people are, ai n't they?
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose very few strangers ever pass this way?"
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose you know the answer yourself, by the way?"
uc1.32106014452566	I suppose, Bunter, you'd say £ 750 was a bit out of the way for a dirty old book in a dead language, would n't you?"
uc1.32106014452566	I think Denver writes here when he writes anywhere, and I saw the Colonel wrestlin'with pen and ink a day or two ago, did n't you, Colonel?"
uc1.32106014452566	I think you were in town at that time?"
uc1.32106014452566	I thought he'd break out at that, but all he said was,'What about it?'
uc1.32106014452566	I wonder if you'd be so very good as to come and give him your opinion?
uc1.32106014452566	I'd take my oath she could tell us something, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	I'll drop in on you later and we'll have a jolly old pow- wow, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	I'm presumed innocent, are n't I, till they prove me guilty?
uc1.32106014452566	I'm quite ready to go quietly — that's the right expression, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	I've got my torch in my pocket, and we can go by compass- oh, hell! ”"My lord?"
uc1.32106014452566	I've made no charge at all — have I, Parker?
uc1.32106014452566	I'xpect she went to some stranger and asked a few innocent little questions under another name, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	If I do n't turn up before to- morrow mornin', I shall consider myself absolved from all promises, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	If Miss Whit- taker did not go to a Leahampton solicitor, to whom would she go?
uc1.32106014452566	If Sir Reuben has been murdered, is it a game?
uc1.32106014452566	If business was liable to upset the old girl, why not have a capable person at hand to calm her down?"
uc1.32106014452566	If he wanted to do any shooting, why did n't he come armed in the first place?"
uc1.32106014452566	If he was going to bring that sort of accusation against his sister's fiancé he'd want some evidence of a method in his madness, would n't he?
uc1.32106014452566	If it was the Duke of Denver, who was in the study at 11.30, what need had he to force the window?
uc1.32106014452566	If not, why was Thipps selected for such an abominable practical joke?
uc1.32106014452566	If she knew the truth, why did she not come forward and save her brother?
uc1.32106014452566	If she's there, would you like to come round with me?"
uc1.32106014452566	If that's so, I'd better be careful, had n't I?
uc1.32106014452566	If you can not produce your missing witness, why do you not set about finding the real murderer?
uc1.32106014452566	If you will just tell us what to look for- the-?
uc1.32106014452566	If you're incapacitated, do you think anybody else is going to find him?"
uc1.32106014452566	If you're so frightened of a dead body, why go about shootin'at people?
uc1.32106014452566	In any case, if you asked him whether he'd been here, he would say no, would n't he?
uc1.32106014452566	In fact, you traced the murder to him, did n't you?"
uc1.32106014452566	In that case, how did they explain the conduct of the person, whoever it was, who had dragged the body to the door?
uc1.32106014452566	In that case, why should not the girl have let the person out by the door?
uc1.32106014452566	In that case, would not the two friends also come round and see Mr. Towkington?
uc1.32106014452566	In the shrubbery — what was that?
uc1.32106014452566	In three guesses I'd be bound to hit the right one, would n't I?
uc1.32106014452566	In view of the suggestion made by Sir Julian Freke, had inquiries been made at all the seaports?
uc1.32106014452566	In- WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	Inspector Sugg gave evidence of having been called in at about half- WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	Is C identical with B?
uc1.32106014452566	Is D or E identical with B?
uc1.32106014452566	Is Levy dead?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is he in, d'ye think?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is it worth rummaging about, do you think?
uc1.32106014452566	Is little Thipps really in it, or the girl?
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't that enough to be in trouble about?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't that handsome enough?
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't the sillier sort of journalism packed with articles to the same effect?
uc1.32106014452566	Is n't there a poison with no symptoms and no test?
uc1.32106014452566	Is that correct?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is that what you mean?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is that you, Mother?
uc1.32106014452566	Is there anyone with you? ”"No- yes- I just happened, ” began Miss Climpson vaguely.
uc1.32106014452566	Is there anything else in this room I ought to look at?"
uc1.32106014452566	Is there anything sinister about the blot?"
uc1.32106014452566	It does n't do the person any harm, does it?"
uc1.32106014452566	It is necessary to be provident, hein?"
uc1.32106014452566	It is still the war, perhaps?"
uc1.32106014452566	It is true — he was here that night?"
uc1.32106014452566	It was a good place, I suppose?"
uc1.32106014452566	It's a silly kind of face, of course, but rather disarming, do n't you think?
uc1.32106014452566	It's better to lose a wager and see the light than walk in ignorance bloated with gold.—Or stop!—why should n't Carr be right after all?
uc1.32106014452566	ItH hardly be drinkable, will it, sir?"
uc1.32106014452566	Jim?"
uc1.32106014452566	Just brush my bags down, will you, old man?
uc1.32106014452566	Just keep a look- out for the passing stran- ger, will you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Keeps you up late, you mean?
uc1.32106014452566	Knowing him, do you think so?"
uc1.32106014452566	Lady Mary, you are determined to make this state- ment?"
uc1.32106014452566	Let me into this Argentine business on the ground floor, do n't you know?"
uc1.32106014452566	Let me see — you are staying in Nelson Avenue, I think Mrs. Tredgold said?"

uc1.32106014452566	Meanwhile, what do you think of Mrs. Cropper's story?"
uc1.32106014452566	Might Thursday morning perhaps have revealed here and there a trodden blade that rain and sap had since restored to upright- ness?
uc1.32106014452566	Might the jury see the eyeglasses?

uc1.32106014452566	Miss Climpson, I believe?
uc1.32106014452566	Miss Climpson, you do believe, do n't you, that a friendship ought to be'fifty- fifty'?"

uc1.32106014452566	Mr. Parker made the encouraging noise which, among laymen, sup- plies the place of the priest's insinuating,"Yes, my son?"
uc1.32106014452566	Mr. Pettigrew- Robinson had tried to catch him as he passed, and had said again,"I say, Denver, what's up?"
uc1.32106014452566	Mr. Piggin, two pints of bitter, please, and will you join us?"
uc1.32106014452566	Mrs. Peasgood, do you hear that?

uc1.32106014452566	Not a respectful way to approach a place of worship to my mind, do you think so yourself, sir?

uc1.32106014452566	Nothing to catch hold of, do n't you know?

uc1.32106014452566	Now what is her story?
uc1.32106014452566	Now what was he doin'there?
uc1.32106014452566	Now where did they come from?"
uc1.32106014452566	Now where in thunder have I heard those words before?"
uc1.32106014452566	Now, a girl as wrote like that would n't be going larking about, sir, would she?
uc1.32106014452566	Now, does that strike you as natural?"
uc1.32106014452566	Now, how about that shot my sister heard at three o'clock?"
uc1.32106014452566	Now, how does a great- niece stand under the new arrangements?"
uc1.32106014452566	Now, sir, would n't you think that with good service that'ard to come by, she'd have done all she could to keep them with her?
uc1.32106014452566	Now, will your grace kindly give me, as far as you can remember it, the exact history of this quarrel?"
uc1.32106014452566	Of course, this has been dusted and cleaned up, and generally ruined for purposes of observation?"
uc1.32106014452566	Of this cancer, was it?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, I beg your pardon, just under- yes- appendicitis?
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, Mr. Parker, what am I to do?"
uc1.32106014452566	Oh, but you've got another name besides Price, have n't you?

uc1.32106014452566	Or am I mixing him up with the old man in the opera?"
uc1.32106014452566	Or do I do it at the police- station?"
uc1.32106014452566	Or was he one of those Roman brothers who say simply:'As the head of the family I forbid the banns and that's enough'?"
uc1.32106014452566	Or was it Cathcart's?"
uc1.32106014452566	Or why such enthusiasm over sending them to Lon- don?"

uc1.32106014452566	Perhaps if you would give me further details —?"
uc1.32106014452566	Perhaps you would like a little snack of something yourself, sir, as it is getting late?"
uc1.32106014452566	Perkins, would you kindly wake up Mr. Murphy and ask him to oblige me with the use of his telephone?"
uc1.32106014452566	Peter, who else could have done it?"
uc1.32106014452566	Polly, did you tell him you'd done the murder?"

uc1.32106014452566	Qu'est- ce que cela pouvait te faire que j'ai tout jeté- fortune, honneur, bonheur- pour te posséder?
uc1.32106014452566	Qu'est- ce tout cela peut bien te faire?
uc1.32106014452566	Que dire?
uc1.32106014452566	Queer sort of woman — damn fine one, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Quoi encore?
uc1.32106014452566	Ready?
uc1.32106014452566	Really?
uc1.32106014452566	Really?
uc1.32106014452566	Remember Impey Biggs defending in that Chelsea tea- shop affair?
uc1.32106014452566	Right, indeed?"
uc1.32106014452566	See here, how does this strike you?
uc1.32106014452566	See?
uc1.32106014452566	See?"
uc1.32106014452566	Seein'dear old Felix is out of the bag, so to speak, do you think you could give me some information and keep your mouth shut, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	Sha n't you miss the tennis- parties, and the young men, and so on?"
uc1.32106014452566	Shall I go an'eat my lunch in the corner?"
uc1.32106014452566	Shall I go on?"
uc1.32106014452566	Shall we have coffee?
uc1.32106014452566	She asked suddenly, apropos of nothing,"Is n't Mr. Parker here?"
uc1.32106014452566	She hesitated — then beamed a bright appeal at Miss Climpson, and said:"Our new helper — may I introduce myself?
uc1.32106014452566	She stood defensively, blocking the threshold, till the same voice growled impatiently:"Well, who is it?"
uc1.32106014452566	She used to wake up sometimes all in a fright and say,'Have they passed it yet, Nurse?
uc1.32106014452566	Si j'étais venu un jour te dire,'Simone, je suis pauvre'-que m'aurais- tu répondu?
uc1.32106014452566	Simms- Gaythorpe leaned forward, crushing his soft hat between his hands in a nervous manner—"that there might be something behind all that?"
uc1.32106014452566	Since then they have recurred less frequently?"
uc1.32106014452566	Sir Impey Biggs:"But suicide by shooting in the heart is not by any means impossible?"
uc1.32106014452566	Sir Impey Biggs:"Could the wound have been self- inflicted?"
uc1.32106014452566	Sir Reuben left you at ten o'clock?"
uc1.32106014452566	Smears?"
uc1.32106014452566	So it was arranged that the ro- mantic Goyles should fetch you away from Riddlesdale — why Riddles- dale?
uc1.32106014452566	So that a man might have concealed himself in the box- room or a wardrobe?
uc1.32106014452566	So the old lady says,'What are they exactly, dear, let me see?'
uc1.32106014452566	So we deduce from that, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	So what's Thipps's bath got to do with it?"
uc1.32106014452566	Somethin'fishy there, do n't you think, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	Something funny, is n't there?
uc1.32106014452566	Sorry, can you put me through to Scotland Yard?
uc1.32106014452566	Starin'me in the face all the time, what?
uc1.32106014452566	Still, I make it a rule never to be without brandy in the house, in case of emergency, you know?"
uc1.32106014452566	Still, dash it all, some relations must still be al- lowed a look- in, or what becomes of the sanctity of family life?
uc1.32106014452566	Such a striking old person, is n't she?
uc1.32106014452566	Sunday morning in an English family and no sausages?
uc1.32106014452566	Suppose I had come to you one day and said,'Simone, I've lost my money'—what would you have said to me?
uc1.32106014452566	Supposing she was given too much or that her heart was weak?"
uc1.32106014452566	Takes a man at such a con- founded disadvantage, what?"
uc1.32106014452566	Te rappelles- tu cette première rencontre, un soir au Casino?
uc1.32106014452566	Tell me, Bunter, in these democratic days, do n't you think that's unfair?"
uc1.32106014452566	Tell me, d'you think these tiny threads are long enough and strong enough to hang a man?"
uc1.32106014452566	Terrible nuisance to have to adjourn the trial — dreadful fuss, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	That alibi —""Yes?"
uc1.32106014452566	That always makes one feel so important and virtuous, do n't you think?
uc1.32106014452566	That just shows, does n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	That look she knew well — she could diagnose it with dreadful accuracy at the first glance, in the tone of a voice saying,"How do you do?"
uc1.32106014452566	That my cat originally came from this shop?"
uc1.32106014452566	That very night —""What night?"
uc1.32106014452566	That was Tuesday, was n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	That would explain it, would n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	That's a funny place to find a thumb- mark on a boot, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	That's a name I'm uncommonly partial to — that's very nicely done, you've a steady hand, Miss Mabel — see that?
uc1.32106014452566	That's right, is n't it?
uc1.32106014452566	That's the idea, is n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	That's the line to take, do n't you think?"
uc1.32106014452566	That's what these detectives are for, are n't they?"
uc1.32106014452566	That's where that bloodthirsty farmer fellow lives, is n't it, who set the dogs on you?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: Do you draw any conclusion from this fact as to the experience of the criminal?
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: In the light of the evidence which you have just heard, do you still press the charge against Alfred Thipps and Gladys Horrocks?
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ Alone?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ At what time did you leave your bedroom? ”'Duke of D.: “ Oh- oh, about half- past two, I should think."
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ Did you mention the matter to anybody else? ” Duke of D.: “ No.
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ Exactly where did you go? ” Duke of D.( vaguely): “ Oh, just round about."
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ Or you would have seen it? ” Duke of D.: “ Lord, yes!
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ What kind of man was Captain Cathcart? ” Duke of D.: “ Well- he was a Sahib and all that.
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner: “ You heard no shot? ” Duke of D.:"No."
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"But if you were more than a quarter of a mile away, you must have left the grounds?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Can you have accidentally destroyed it?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Can you show us the letter you had from Mr. Free- born?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Can you think of any explanation now?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did anybody else know the revolver was there?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did he ever speak of playing cards in Paris?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did he speak of his life in Paris?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did the shot sound close to the house?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did this letter surprise you?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did you fire your gun at any time?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did you go far away from the conservatory door and the shrubbery? ” Duke of D.:"Well- I was some way away.
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did you hear anything further that night?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Did you keep it loaded?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Do you remember how she was dressed?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"He always appeared to have plenty of money?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"He was not — forgive me this very painful question — the sort of man who would have been likely to lay violent hands on himself?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"I should like to ask your grace whether you ever saw deceased in possession of a revolver?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"In Egypt?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"In which direction?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Is it not unusual for poachers to shoot so very near the cottage?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"More than a quarter of a mile away?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Nor hear any other shots?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Perhaps you kept the envelope?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"The bowling- green?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Then you can show the jury no proof of having re- ceived it?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"There had been no quarrel?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Was he a man of cheerful disposition?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Was the drawer locked?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Were you as much as a quarter of a mile away? ” 148 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY Duke of D.:"I should think I was — oh, yes, quite!"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"What did you do?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"What happened next?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"What wakened you?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"When did this quarrel occur?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"When was that?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Where did you first meet him?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"Why did you not call your brother or some other gen- tleman?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"With regard to your marriage — had any money set- tlements been gone into?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You are certain?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You did not go out again?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You did not inquire the cause of the disturbance?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You had many such subjects?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You heard no shot?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You never gathered at any time that Captain Cathcart had anything on his mind?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You never heard him complain of being hard up?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You were not awake before you heard it?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Coroner:"You were quite happy in your engagement?"
uc1.32106014452566	The Juror: Is that very consistent with the charge against Alfred Thipps, Inspector?
uc1.32106014452566	The authoress was just saying impressively to her companion:"— ever know a sincere emotion to express itself in a subordinate clause?"
uc1.32106014452566	The consequence you mention — this thing which the sick per- son wants done — does the other person stand to benefit by it, may I ask?"

uc1.32106014452566	The great question for us is, Is it worth the risk?
uc1.32106014452566	The keys had remained in his possession on Monday night?
uc1.32106014452566	The letter was from an old friend of mine I had n't seen for years — Tom Freeborn — used to know him at the House —"The Coroner:"Whose house?"
uc1.32106014452566	The man spat again, pulled his hat over his forehead, and said briefly:"What doost'a want?"
uc1.32106014452566	The new claimant, warned by his minions —""What minions?"
uc1.32106014452566	The next instalment of this enthrallin'drama will be shown in this theatre — when?
uc1.32106014452566	The old lady was dead, eh?
uc1.32106014452566	The old lady —""How long ago was this?"
uc1.32106014452566	The panes were of WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	The papers had leaderettes on"Trial by his Peers,"by a Woman Barrister, and"The Privilege of Peers: should it be abolished?"
uc1.32106014452566	The prescription is a very mild one, and could n't 396 THREE FOR LORD PETER WIMSEY to kill her before her time?
uc1.32106014452566	The thing was finished — I never bother about what can not be helped, do you?"
uc1.32106014452566	The two men sat silent for a little, and then Lord Peter said:"D'you like your job?"
uc1.32106014452566	The tyke were a friend o ’ thine?
uc1.32106014452566	The valet, cook, parlourmaid, housemaid and kitchenmaid were the only people; WHOSE BODY?

uc1.32106014452566	There are no footmarks under the body?
uc1.32106014452566	There's lots of people I'd like to murder, would n't you?"
uc1.32106014452566	There's nothing to go on but the size and shape, of course, and the marks are so faint — what do you think?"
uc1.32106014452566	They ca n't be beheaded on Tower Hill or anything?"
uc1.32106014452566	Think you can trace her?"
uc1.32106014452566	Thipps's story is n't corroborated, and as for the girl Horrocks, how do we know this Williams ai n't in it as well?
uc1.32106014452566	Thipps?"
uc1.32106014452566	Thipps?"
uc1.32106014452566	This particular responsibility you were speaking of still rests upon you?"
uc1.32106014452566	Through his bedroom window, hygienically open top and bottom, a raw fog was roll- WHOSE BODY?
uc1.32106014452566	To the grumpy ostler who took the horse, Peter, with his most companionable manner, addressed him- self:"Nasty raw morning, is n't it?"
uc1.32106014452566	Told he had glasses but no beard, she incautiously said:'Oh, then, it is n't him,'and the man said:'Is n't who?'
uc1.32106014452566	Tommy Pringle said the old Sheeny —""Why did he call him a Sheeny?"

uc1.32106014452566	Was it Voltaire who said that the English had three hundred and sixty- five re- ligions and only one sauce?"

uc1.32106014452566	What did Mr. Grimethorpe say about it?"
uc1.32106014452566	What did you expect her to think?"
uc1.32106014452566	What did you make of the body? ”"Well,"said the detective, “ not very much- I was puzzled- frankly.
uc1.32106014452566	What did you tell'em to do when you were down at the Yard this morning?"
uc1.32106014452566	What do we want?

uc1.32106014452566	What does he make of the body, by the way?"
uc1.32106014452566	What does she do?
uc1.32106014452566	What does she say?
uc1.32106014452566	What does that blessed darkroom of yours want now?"

uc1.32106014452566	What has happened?
uc1.32106014452566	What have they said it is — murder?"
uc1.32106014452566	What in the world, you blitherin'young ass, made you loose off that pop- gun at me last night?

wu.89006944243	I must speak; and, whom shall I trust if not you? ” “ Father, you frighten me! ” said Agricola.
wu.89006944243	I see how it is, ” said the doctor, shaking his head sorrowfully; “ you are very much displeased with me — is it not so?
wu.89006944243	I seek the cause of this sudden passion — ” “ Geographical? ” said Mdlle.

wu.89006944243	Is it pos- sible, by means of your brother, to open a secret correspond- ence with the prince, unknown to his attendants?
wu.89006944243	Is it possible?

wu.89006944243	It is just on that subject that I am going to speak to you. ” “ Is it possible? ” “ Certainly.
wu.89006944243	It is so true, that I have already laid my charge before a mag- istrate. ” “ And what answer did you receive? ” said the notary.
